This milestone quarter continues to demonstrate Sidense's growth and leadership as a major provider of secure and reliable OTP memory cores for a wide range of semiconductor products. In addition, the licensing of Sidense's OTP macros for TSMC's advanced 28nm process shows the acceptance of the Company's antifuse-based 1T-OTP for use in applications such as leading-edge mobile and media processors.
"As shown by the excellent booking results this quarter, along with the support shown by investors with the additional funding we received last quarter, Sidense continues to be a recognized leader in the embedded NVM market," said Xerxes Wania, CEO and President of Sidense. "We have a solid and aggressive OTP development roadmap for the advanced process nodes at 28nm and beyond and continue to work closely with TSMC to provide our customers with the OTP products they need."

My friends and I went there for brunch on Saturday and it was reasonably priced, a lovely quiet atmosphere and we had polite service. Mont Blanc is a quaint and authentic Swiss restaurant that is a little secluded. Definitely worth another visit!!!

Worth the trip , to eat here. Can not say enough of this place. They could use a little more word of people to vist it. Tell your friends if you like it. Nothing missing, in my book. Hope they don:t lose there CHEF. Look forward each time , when I get in the city to eat there. Yes, there are many restuarant to choice fromin NYC, but each trip m brings me back, Stay small and keep up the good work.

Loved the "new" location. A lot of good food for great value. Maria of course came by to check on me but she didn't have to as the waiters were taking care of me quite nicely. I loved my breaded pork chop and of course the potato pancake you get with your meal is yummy. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a hearty appetite. The combination of Swiss/Italian/European choices makes for a yummy hearty meal.

I'm a local New Yorker and know many, many restaurants in town. My favorite in the theater district (around Times Square) is Mont Blanc, which has now moved to a new location on 48th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. The food is mainly Swiss German, but eclectic. They have wonderful wienerschnitzel, salmon, fondues, etc., but it's the little things that matter the most to me -- the memorable Rosti (onion-flavored) Swiss potatoes, and the terrific bread. The owner is Maria who is a gracious , friendly, hostess. For anyone going to a Broadway show who wants a charming environment and delicious food for good value, try Mont Blanc and mention Geoffrey.

It was a Saturday late afternoon and we bumped into this place. It didn't seem to be bad and it was Swiss, right? The food at this place was simply unacceptable. Have been to Switzerland many times and whatever leftovers they serve at this place will put the real Swiss quality into shame, to say the least. Nothing that we ordered was fresh, the glasses weren't exactly clean and we still had to pay for all that we hardly touched.

I reseached restaurants for 3 months before travelling to NYC from the midwest. This one was on my list. We went after a BW show around 11pm. The service and food were wonderful. We sat out in the garden and had a delightful time. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice quite place to have a meal.
Posted by MDL on 05/25/2007
I had to stop myself from eating here all the time so that I could experience the rest of NYC. The baked clams are huge and delicious. The seafood manicotti alfredo is to die for. My husband loves the crab cakes. The service is ok and the atmosphere is noisy but the food is worth it.

'Great Grocery Can-Paign' collects half a ton of food
The community gave more than 1,000 pounds of food during the second annual "Great Grocery Can-Paign" Wednesday in downtown Sanford.
The food collected at Depot Park will be distributed to Christians United Outreach Center of Lee County (CUOC) and the Salvation Army. The United Way of Lee County, The Herald and local radio stations WWGP and WFJA sponsored the event.
"It's been slow but steady," said United Way Executive Director Jan Hayes. "We are looking at anywhere from 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of food."
A tremendous food need exists throughout Lee County and North Carolina, she said, and these type of community drives restore depleted pantries.
"If people can pay their rent and keep the power on, the community can provide this inexpensive need," Hayes said.
Despite collecting close to 6,000 pounds of food during the Lee Regional Fair last week, food donations are drastically down, according to CUOC Executive Director Teresa Kelly.
"We are always trying to play catch up," she said. "It's hard to keep up without having to pay for food. That is why we need the community's support, especially as we go through the holiday season."
Approximately 750 Lee County families receive food once a month from the organization, Kelly said.
"It helps us to be able to provide a decent box [for the families]," she said. "The fewer donations we have, the less variety they get in their box. If the community food drive isn't meeting that demand, we have to buy food. But we can't sustain what we are doing."
Kathryn Dudley dropped off canned goods shortly after 11 a.m.
"I am a firm supporter of CUOC," she said. "I volunteer there, and my church is very involved. I believe it's a great thing for our community."
Brenda Cobb and Mary Loving collected food during the lunch-hour shift. Both said it was their first time volunteering with the Great Can-Paign, but their church, St. Luke United Methodist Church, is heavily involved with CUOC.
"These food drives are important because of the low food supply," Cobb said. "It's a great feeling to give back to the community."
The community food drive also kicks off United Way's annual fall fundraising campaign that will last until the end of December, Hayes said.
"The funds we raise this fall will be distributed to our 21 agencies next year," she said.
If people missed the canned food drive or want to make a contribution to United Way, they can visit www.leecountyunitedway.org/ or call (919) 776-5823.

2015 Volkswagen Golf R to Debut at Frankfurt Motor Show
Visually, expected modifications to set the new Golf R apart include a restyled front end with larger air intakes, revised rear end with a diffuser panel and four chrome-tipped exhaust outlets, and lower-body side skirts. Matte-chrome mirror caps, bi-xenon headlights with LED running lights, dark red LED taillights, and several "R" badges also hint as to the performance awaiting the driver, and the Golf R rides on standard 18-inch aluminum wheels wearing 225/40 performance-oriented tires. Optionally, the Golf R is available with 19-inch aluminum wheels.
Pop the hood to find a new turbocharged, 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine. More powerful and more fuel-efficient than before, this engine generates 296 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 280 lb.-ft. of torque between 1,800 rpm and 5,500 rpm. A 6-speed manual transmission is standard, with a 6-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) dual-clutch automated manual offered as an option.
According to Volkswagen, the 2015 Golf R accelerates to 60 mph in about 5.2 seconds with the manual gearbox and in 4.8 seconds with the optional DSG. Top speed with either transmission is a governed 155 mph.
The new Golf R is equipped with a standard next-generation 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. To help conserve fuel, this version of 4Motion decouples the powertrain from the car's rear axle under relaxed driving conditions. When necessary, though, nearly 100% of the engine's power can be directed to the Golf R's rear wheels.
Additional fuel-saving measures include standard start/stop technology, which shuts the engine off when the car is idling in traffic or at an intersection, and a brake-energy regeneration system for the battery. All told, Volkswagen says the Golf R gets 18% better fuel economy than the vehicle it replaces. A standard Driving Profile Selector with an Eco driving mode assists in achieving those gains, but it also offers Normal, Individual, and Race settings. A Comfort mode is included when the car is fitted with the optional Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) system.
Every 2015 Golf R is equipped with a sport suspension that positions the car even closer to the pavement than the GTI. Upgraded braking components include black calipers with an "R" logo stamped into them, and a new progressive variable-ratio steering system reduces effort when parking while delivering more direct response at speed. The Golf R's traction and stability control system includes an ESC Sport mode that provides a greater threshold before engagement, and the system can be completely deactivated for track driving. The Golf R is also equipped with a new version of its Cross-Differential Lock (XDS Plus) system, which now works as a transverse differential lock compensating for understeer during fast cornering.
Slip inside, and the driver finds front sport seats with black fabric inserts and gray Alcantara bolsters facing a sport steering wheel, unique R-style instrumentation, and Carbon Touch dashboard trim. The pedals offer the look of stainless steel, and the Golf R is equipped with ambient cabin lighting, illuminating doorsill plates, automatic climate control, and a touch-screen audio system. Choose one of the two optional infotainment systems, and the screen expands to 5.8 inches or 8 inches while gaining proximity-sensing technology. Premium leather upholstery is also an option for the new Golf R.
Volkswagen has not announced pricing, final specifications, or an on-sale date for Golf R models bound for the United States as this article is written.

Orange Juice Boosts Nutrition
The health benefits of orange juice have been under debate recently. Some people say that the high amounts of added sugar negate the benefits of vitamin C and other nutrients available in orange juice.
However, a study recently published in Nutrition Research states that children between ages 2 to 18 who drank 100 percent orange juice had improved nutrient adequacy and had a diet consistently of higher quality than children who did not drink orange juice.
"A growing body of research has painted a clear picture that enhanced nutrient intake and better diet quality are associated with drinking 100 percent orange juice in children," said study co-author Carol E. O'Neil, PhD, MPH, LDN, RD, School of Human Ecology, Louisiana State University Agricultural Center. "Our research adds further support to the association between drinking 100 percent orange juice and higher intakes of five important nutrients—vitamin C, folate, magnesium, dietary fiber and potassium—which are generally underconsumed by the U.S. population."
This is the first study that has examined the usual intake of 100 percent orange juice in a nationally representative population, and these data add support to previous studies that found no association between 100 percent fruit juice consumption and increased risk for overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Furthermore, children who consumed 100 percent orange juice had significantly lower mean LDL cholesterol levels than those who did not consume 100 percent orange juice.

Second chance pays off for local pro golfer Ken Duke
PALM CITY — Ken Duke has made the most of his "second chance" on the PGA Tour.
After securing his PGA Tour card with a dramatic win in the Nationwide Tour Championship last October, the 43-year-old Palm City resident made $1,453,868 this season and was 42nd in the FedEx Cup rankings after six top-10 finishes.
More importantly, Duke retained his Tour card for 2013.
Getting his Tour card for this year, however, was a different story.
Heading into the final weekend of the 2011 Nationwide Tour, now called the Web.com Tour, Duke was in 36th place on the money list — only the top 25 earn their PGA Tour card.
Fortunately for Duke, the 2011 Nationwide Tour Championship was being played at Daniel Island (S.C.). In 2006, Duke lost in a playoff to Michael Sim in the Palmetto Pride Classic at that same Daniel Island Club, so he knew the layout well.
"I played awesome that week," Duke said of the 2006 tournament. "As soon as I got onto the site (last year), I just felt a vibe. I got myself into position. I made putts when I needed to and the next thing you know, I was up by four or five shots on the last day."
The two-stroke win last Oct. 30th leapfrogged Duke to 7th on the money list and back onto the PGA Tour.
Duke, who will play and conduct a clinic at the 20th annual Visiting Nurse Association Charity Golf Tournament at Willoughby Golf Club on Friday, spoke to Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers about his season, the 2011 Nationwide Tour Championship and his future on the PGA Tour.
Q: Tell us about your 2012 season?
A: It was exciting because I got back on the PGA Tour, but at the same time, the club company I was with last year (Cleveland Golf) dropped me because I wasn't doing much at the time. It was exciting to get back out there and compete. I was working hard last year and I was ready to get back out there and prove that I could play, prove I could compete against the best in the world and just play for love of the game.
Q: Do you have a personal highlight from the season?
A: There's a lot of things. I had six top-10 finishes and I was in a couple of last groups (on Sunday). Keeping my card and having a chance to win were the biggest things. There were so many, I don't think I can pinpoint one. The main thing is I kept my card — that was the main goal.
Q: How often do you reflect on how quickly things changed for you?
A: I think about it. Going into (the Nationwide Tour Championship), I felt like I could win. I had a was playing well in the weeks before and I had a couple finishes in the 30s. That's one or two putts a side or a round from winning. So I knew I was playing good and, like I said, I had a really good vibe playing at Daniel Island.
Q: With all that happened that October 2011 weekend, did any of it come as a shock to you?
A: It didn't come as a shock to me. I put a lot of time in. I got a trainer a year and a half ago, something I should have done my whole career. I had never worked out, never done cardio or any kind of weights. So things were looking good and I had played well there before. That's the way it works out here (on the PGA Tour). Look at Keegan Bradley. He won the PGA Championship (in 2011) and look at what he's done since. ... Consistency adds up really quick and you get recognition and confidence from it.
Q: Is there anything you want to focus on for next year?
A: You know, I've been driving the ball straight and I'm a pretty good ball striker and I have a pretty good short game, but it's hot and cold. If anything, my short game. My putting let me down here and there, and that's what I'll really focus on. I looked at my stats on PGA.com and that's always a good thing when I can do that. I look at those stats and it tells me what I need to be working on. I had a couple chances to win and I could have closed the deal a couple times, so I still need to get a little better. I wasn't nervous, I just wasn't consistent. To win, you have to be that way the whole time. I'll work on it a lot this offseason. I'm going to make the most of this second chance.
What: Professional golfer
Age: 44
Resides: Palm City
VNA event: Duke will play and conduct a clinic at the 20th annual Visiting Nurse Association Charity event at Willoughby Golf Club on Friday,
2012 Stats: Duke was 42nd in the FedEx Cup rankings and made $1,453,868. He had six top-10 and seven top-25 finishes in 28 events — his best a tie for fifth in the Transitions Championship at Palm Harbor.
Career Stats: Duke has made $6,695,060 since turning pro in 1994. He has three PGA Tour second-place, 18 top-10 and 39 top-25 finishes.
Career Highlights: Duke was the 2006 Nationwide Tour Player of the Year, when he finished first on the money list. He has four career wins – two on the Nationwide Tour (the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs in 2006 and the Nationwide Tour Championship at Daniel Island in 2011) and two on the Canadian Tour in 1999.
Did You Know? Duke, who was diagnosed with scoliosis when he was 14, plays with a steel rod in his back. Duke said he experienced less pain this year as the result of working with a personal trainer, who helped him shed 18 pounds.

text: Dude I'm just upset. I'm having 2005 nightmares of losing the Final AT HOME all over again. I do not get any enjoyment form the team unless they win. That's what sports are about: WINNING. Now, I agree fully that this team exceeded my expectations from the mess that they created in the league. And for that, I'm proud. But we blew it today. In NO WAY was Bilbao the better team. NO WAY. WE blew it. wasted chances int he first leg, Perreira sucking it up like he has been all season. You must understand where I'm coming from. I've been waiting for over 10 years for a cup that has meaning. Now after this, our team will be fed to the top tier clubs and we will have to start form scratch all over again. That's what it's like supporting a feeder team. THIS was our chance, and we blew it. It's not acceptable.

A NEW champion to look after the interests of deaf people in the Isle of Man has just started a two-year tenure.
Gareth Foulkes and his hearing dog Derfel are based for three weeks in every month with the Manx Deaf Society at its offices in Somerset Road, Douglas.
For the other week he will work from home in his native Anglesey.
Commenting on his role in the Isle of Man Mr Foulkes, who has been deaf from the age of three because of a genetic condition, said: 'The primary aim is to ensure that deaf people's life, health and liberty are not put at risk in the Isle of Man through lack of appropriate communication support. For example, sign language interpreters, of which there are none in the Isle of Man.'
Other services which can be provided include lip speakers/readers, note takers and speech to text transcription services.
'The benefit of having services to hand is that a deaf person could go to the doctor and have full access to what the doctor is saying, otherwise they could come away not knowing what their diagnosis was or how to use their medication,' he said.
'We are not just talking about equality but about basics like patient safety or even access to justice.'
The post of champion for deaf people in the Isle of Man came about following recommendations from a study commissioned by the Manx Deaf Society in 2011.
Estimates put the number of deaf people in the Isle of Man at about 800; the number who are hard of hearing is one in six overall, but more among old people.
The first objective, in a few weeks' time, will be to set up an assessment day to find out what people in the island want or need.
'On that day I will be demonstrating working with sign language, stenography, lip speakers, using i-pads, i-phones and laptops. That will be the first step then we can look for solutions. I want to encourage as many people as possible to come to the day,' Mr Foulkes said.
He has worked on the civil and human rights of deaf and disabled people, and for the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the Disability Rights Commission in Wales.
Julie Smith, Manx Deaf Society chairman, said: 'Our challenge is now to increase awareness of the different types of interpreters and lipspeakers amongst deaf people and ensure resources are available.'
Mr Foulkes wants as many deaf people as possible to get involved with the assessment day. Anyone interested should email him at gareth.foulkes(at)deafway.co.uk, text him on 256025 or write to him care of the Manx Deaf Society, 3 Somerset Road, Douglas.

P&O During the Indian Monopoly
Stopped by the East India monopoly from running activities out of Bombay, the most suitable port of call, P&O carried out to planning a service between Suez, Aden, Point de Galle, and Calcutta to associate with its service between England and Egypt. Prior to the inauguration of the Suez Canal, passengers to India had to arrive in port at Alexandria and withstand a difficult and usually dangerous trip by carriage throughout the desert to the Red Sea, where they embarked on another ship. P&O keenly promoted the building of a railway across Egypt and, to safeguard goods, operated repair yards and farms along the way.
P&O's initial travel to India was commenced in 1842 by the Hindostan, its biggest ship to date. This motivated activity required the establishment of coal and supply stations at transitional points along the pathways and of organizations for the overland portion of the trip. The swifter pace and dependability of P&O's service compared with that of its competitor, the East India Company, ultimately resulted in P&O's right to access to Bombay.

This was a nice surprise and something I wasn't expecting today at all. Lyriciss is one of my favorites of the young DMV scene and not only do we get this song but the announcement his new mixtape, The Practice,will be an early Christmas present dropping on Dec. 22nd. David E. Beats is someone I have followed from afar in the DMV scene. I haven't had the opportunity to sit down with his music despite the fact his PR person has hit me up multiple times (sorry, I work in music all day and listen to music for the blog at night, I just can't get to everything) and I should have listened closer at this point but it just hasn't happened. Be sure to grab this tape and Nando's (which doesn't have a date yet) in the near future and support our local artists from the DMV!

Couldn't reisit scrapping these, especially the nervous look! I took this from the back of the room and was surprised to get what I did.
My Step Son Lee and his girlfriend Jade. Quite pleased with this as it was the only decent photo I have of them and someone decided to photo bomb and look over Lee's shoulder! Managed to take the little gremlin out of the pic though!

TAG Program Frequently Asked Questions
Please Note: TAG applications are submitted one year prior to transfer.
What is the Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG) Program?
The TAG Program offers students guaranteed admissions to seven of the UC's that participate in the TAG Program - UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Merced, UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Santa Cruz. The writing of a TAG contract enables qualified students to be guaranteed admission to a UC campus one year prior to transfer. Interested students must satisfactorily complete UC and college/major specific TAG eligibility requirements.
What are the requirements for writing a TAG?
Eligibility requirements vary by college and major. In general, students must have completed 30 UC transferrable units by the end of Summer 2013, have a minimum GPA of 2.8 (higher GPA required for MOST majors and colleges), and have completed the lower-division preparation of the major, as well as UC minimum admissions requirements.
View the TAG requirements
Can I write a TAG contract for all seven UC campuses that accept TAGs?
Students can only apply to one (1) TAG campus – one campus, one major.
When and how do I apply for a TAG?
TAG applications are submitted one year prior to a student's intended year of transfer. For Fall 2015 admissions, TAG applications are submitted online via the UC Transfer Admissions Planner (UC TAP) from Sept 1 - Sept 30, 2014.
When will I know if my TAG has been accepted?
Some colleges offer early admissions notifications (no later than November),while others will send out notifications early in the Spring semester.
Am I required to meet with a TAG Counselor to apply for a TAG?
Students applying for TAG's with UC Davis, UC Irvine, and UC Santa Cruz are required to meet with a TAG counselor to have their TAGs approved. While students applying for TAGs at other UCs are not required to meet with a counselor, students are encouraged to meet with a TAG counselor so that a counselor can help them determine if they have met the eligibility requirements for the college and major of their choice.
How do I schedule a TAG counseling appointment?
Prior to scheduling a TAG counseling appointment, students are required to attend a TAG workshop. TAG workshops are designed to provide students with an overview of the TAG process, including review of the online TAG application (UC TAP) and review of specific TAG criteria by college and major.
Schedule a TAG workshop appointment by visiting the Transfer Center or contacting us. TAG Counseling appointments are also scheduled at the conclusion of the TAG workshops.
What should I bring to my TAG counseling appointment?
Students should bring the following to their TAG counseling appointment:
- Unofficial transcript (for all colleges attended, including Skyline College)
- AP or IB scores, if applicable
- Completed TAG Eligibility Review Forms.
When do I submit the UC admissions application? (separate from the TAG application)
Applications are submitted online from Nov 1 - Nov 30, 2014.
Important: The TAG application does not replace the admissions application. Students must submit a separate UC admissions application.
Does Skyline College offer a TAG with UCLA OR UC Berkeley?
UCLA and UC Berkeley do not offer TAGs. Although Skyline College does not offer a TAG with UCLA, Skyline College students who participate in the Honors Transfer Program are eligible to participate in the Transfer Admissions Program. For further information, please visit the Skyline College Honors Program website.
Does a UC TAG actually guarantee admissions to both the college and major of the student's choice?
The answer to this question depends on the college and major for which a student is applying. In general, students must meet all TAG eligibility requirements to be considered for a TAG. Some colleges guarantee admissions to the major, others guarantee admissions to the college but not necessarily the major.

The Role of Tea Rooms In Women's HistoryTimes have changed. Most tea rooms at the turn of the century reveal a hidden part of women's history. It was an era when women couldn't eat in a restaurant without an escort.
Atlanta, the heart of the South, held no exceptions to this rule. In 1928 the Frances Virginia Tea Room was founded as a place women could frequent without male accompaniment. It wasn't until the Civil Rights act that dining restrictions were lifted for women and minorities.
Indeed, the 20th century witnessed profound changes in womens' place in society. In the former half, women wore long restrictive clothing and were forbidden to vote. They couldn't travel freely or go many places alone.
By the century's end, women held public office and ventured anywhere their hearts led them. Of course, "The tea room did not cause all of these changes, but it did play a role in bringing women out into society and into the business world," notes Jan Whitaker, author of Tea at the Blue Latern In: A Social History of the Tea Room Craze In America. "In doing so it left a mark and changed many restaurant customs in ways little appreciated today." The Frances Virginia was noted in the text.
Our cultural memory of the tea room is mummified into a ridiculous stereotype of little old ladies and white gloves. It actually fostered a strong community among working women. We have forgotten the stylishness and modernity of the flappers and young women who first dined there. Within the pages of The Frances Virginia Tea Room Cookbook, readers will find glimpses back to the true style of the age.
Visitors to this site who are searching for information on Victorian style, afternoon tea, will find delightful tea sandwich recipes. They will also find a slice of womens' history. The historic recipes are "gourmet" southern food of the era.
Tea Rooms helped bring about social change in America. The Marshall Fields Walnut Room in Chicago changed the Midwest. The Frances Virginia Tea Room changed the South.

Geeks Gone Giddy: Tomorrow's Apple Announcement Has Internet Abuzz
Categories: Science & Technology, Tech
|Moses unveils Tablet v. 1.0
At least one site is already gearing up to live blog tomorrow's press conference. Another offers a downloadable scorecard you can use to see if your predictions were correct concerning Apple's new product. And, of course, there's also lots of Twitter talk, especially at #appletablet.
If, as is anticipated, Apple announces its new tablet computer, the gizmo could change the way we surf the web, communicate and waste our precious time. It could also save journalism by getting people to pay for news again.
Yes, there's a lot the Apple tablet can do. But will it be as revolutionary as those tablets that told us what we can't do? Guess that depends on whom you ask.

In the wake of what has been a shocking and tragic happening in my city, I've come to love Boston even more passionately. The goodness, caring and openness has been among the most prevalent I've ever seen, and I feel lucky to call this place home.
It also made me wonder — as I was lucky enough to be miles away when the marathon bombings occurred — what kind of person would I have been at that explosion: the kind who runs away from the smoke and fire, or the one who runs towards it to help others? I'd really, really like to think I would be the latter. I think we all would.
That said, I want to help. In the very least, I'd like to distract the traumatized, the children, the people whose lives are going to be changed forever, regardless of limbs lost or physical impairments. So I asked my friends at local comic shops and publishers to help me bring kids-friendly comic books and books to Boston Children's Hospital, and anywhere else that needs them.
I will be dropping off donations at Boston Children's Hospital on the morning of Wednesday, April 24. If you are a publisher, local shop or individual that wants to send all-ages reads (NO swearing, nudity, etc.), please email me at adri (dot) cowan (at) gmail (dot) com. Please do not send anything but kid-friendly books.
Cut-off date for donations was Tuesday, April 23; if you're interested in making further donations, please contact me for the mailing address.
Thank you, my friends.

To call Boris prolific is an understatement. New Album is their third album this year, and that's not counting the Merzbow collaboration, Klatter. Although Boris is most commonly associated with metal of the drone and sludge varieties, they have been mixing it up ever since their 1996 debut, Absolutego, never being the same experimental metal band twice. In the case of New Album, Boris has gone unabashedly pop.
The majority of New Album consists of variations of songs that previously appeared on Boris' other 2011 albums: the hard-hitting Heavy Rocks and Attention Please, with its dream pop stylings and Wata's breathy vocal coos. As relentless as it is shimmering, the propulsive sonic blast of "Spoon" recalls the brand of shoegaze-infused pop perfected by recent tour mates Asobi Seksu, and on New Album, synths and digitized sound effects highlight the song's pop hooks. However, compared to its Attention Please counterpart, the New Album version of "Les Paul Custom '86" lacks bite without that menacing guitar riff.
Curiously absent from the American version of New Album is the top 40 electropop versus Nine Inch Nails mashup "Black Original". In its place is the even more thrilling "Luna", which is akin to Boris unleashing their signature metal at its frenzied best while in the middle of My Bloody Valentine's "holocaust section." What makes New Album stand out among the rest of their admittedly diverse discography is how the band appropriates the tropes of the popular music of their native Japan and twists them in a manner that makes the songs distinctly Boris. "Flare" has the J-pop sensibilities and delighted urgency that would make it a perfect anime theme song, while the reworkings of "Jackson Head" and "Hope" would be at home on the kind of quirky video games that Sega used to make. The J-rock-gone-metal incarnation of Boris on New Album stands as their most drastic reinvention yet.
Essential tracks: "Luna", "Spoon"

Rick's Crab Trap, located on the first floor of Surfside Resort next to Seascape, is a place visitors, locals, and part-time residents can go out to eat and feel right at home.
"It's a family restaurant," said owner/manager Nikki Wilson. "And it's family owned and operated. We want our customers to feel like they are part of our family and sitting in their own dining room when they come here."
The strategy appears to be working as Wilson sees some people and/or families come back one, two, or three times a week. And with the average price of a meal available for $15, the Wilsons are keeping it affordable and helping their customers be able to return.
"We try to keep our prices lower and buy from local merchants," she said.
Wilson said their steamed platters run a little higher, and they are the only restaurant in the area offering all-you-can-eat crab legs, which go for $42.
In addition to crab legs, a variety of other seafood, steaks, and pasta dishes are offered, and every Thursday is prime-rib night.
Lunch is served outdoors from a special lunch menu, available daily from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
A full-service bar is offered indoors and out, as well as a pool bar.
Dinner is served inside beginning at 5 p.m. Happy hour is from 4:30-6:30 p.m. with select two-for-one drinks, pitcher of beer specials, and $1 off all other drinks.
Karaoke is every Saturday night, which Wilson said has really taken off.
"We have developed a following, especially during the winter among the Snowbirds," said Wilson.
There is also a kids' menu available for an average price of $7, which includes a drink.
The Wilsons bought the business and opened in February 2011 and she said it is expanding and growing.
"We are seeing a lot more families. There's not so much a party atmosphere as it once was," she said. "I see a lot of family reunions."
Rick's Crab Trap is open seven days a week year around on the first floor of Surfside Resort, and offering a fabulous view of the Gulf. For more information call 269-1252.

Re: Voice and Empathy
Thanks for the trackback!
I almost tagged my post as "self-reflection" or some such. I tend to do a lot of soul-searching, these days.
And as I was just telling my friend Yara, this kind of introspection might be rather important in terms of teaching. Like bloggers, teachers are open books and it's a good idea to know what's in that "book" before you show it to everyone. I think I'm now able to come to terms with people's perceptions.
Thanks again! [Comment] [Permalink]

The Chicana Latina Foundation
For thirty-four years the Chicana/Latina Foundation has been a non-profit organization promoting leadership and development of Latina women.
This past March Olga Talamante, the executive director of the organization, along with one of the board of directors, Maria X Martinez, came to USF to present a workshop to Latina students to assist them with their Chicana/Latina Scholarship applications. This workshop was one of the various programs the foundation hosts. Some of the other workshops include: Youth Adelante, Entre Hermanas, Leadership Institute, and the Scholarship program. All of the workshops have one goal-- strengthening and advancing the Latina community. Coming from similar backgrounds and knowing the hardships and struggles a Latinas faces, either due to her gender, race or both, the women of this organization make an effort to help young Latina women who are in a place where these inspiring women once were.
The Chicana/Latina Foundation was initiated by three Latinas in 1977 when the women were attending the University of California, Berkeley. The idea for the non-profit developed to support each other as first generation college students pursuing higher education. They discovered that they were going through similar situations and that by creating a support system, they could make it to the end of their educational journey. Being female, first generation college students and Latina were three major components that linked and fortified the foundation. It was through these components, which the women shared, that they were able to help one another. They all shared similar experiences, values and goals. To this day the Chicana/Latina Foundation continues to supports its members and the future generations of Latina college students.
Heritage and culture is central to this organization. These Chicanas embrace who they are and where they come from. As Latinas they recognize their diverse histories , which are all ancient and unique. They take pride in their origins and in the contribution that their cultures have given to the world. Some of these contributions being: music, literature, dance, art, gastronomy, architecture, spirituality and intellect. Therefore, they honor their culture and continue with the traditions which help them develop to their full potential, while breaking other traditions that restrain this development.
To demonstrate the appreciation of their culture, strength and vision the women of the Chicana/ Latina Foundation chose the symbol of the humming bird and a flower as their logo. This symbol was taken form an Aztec glyph representing a warrior named Huitzilopochtli which means, "humming birds from the left," the left being the deep south which in Aztec belief refers to the location of the spirit world. Huitzil led his people to a new homeland, symbolizing leadership and strength. It is also believed that the humming bird is a messenger between worlds, that is said to help medicine people keep balance between the realm of nature and spirit. Great strength can be found in this symbol. Although it is small in size this animal symbolizes: devotion, permanence and eternity.
Conflicts and obstacles are elements constantly reoccurring in many young people's lives and it because of this that the Chicana/Latina Foundation has created programs which aid in the overcoming of these obstacles. The organization works mainly with Latina youth and young women. One of their programs, Youth Adelante After School Program, which is conducted with the collaboration of El Concilio of San Mateo County, helps middle school students in the area of Redwood City advance in their academic studies. This program tutors 7th and 8th grade students, helps them develop study skills, while at the same time incorporating cultural awareness, leadership development and self confidence.
Another successful program the Chicana/ Latian Foundation offers is the Entre Hermanas mentoring program. This program is done in collaboration with the Hispanas Organized for Political Equality. The central idea of this program is to empower young Latinas in the community by providing a role model who cultivates her leadership, intellectual and cultural potential at every academic stage as well as her professional career. In this program, coaching circles consist of Latina high school students, college students and professionals. The purpose of these circles and this program is to increase the retention rate of Latina students in high school and college.
Every year the Chicana/Latina Foundation offers scholarships to undergraduate and graduate Latinas. The scholarships are offered on a competitive basis to Latinas attending universities in the Northern California. There are thirty scholarships offered each year with a value of $1,500. Along with the scholarship, the Chicana/ Latina Foundation offers a skill-building workshop each year prior to the deadline of the scholarship. These two hour workshops are offered at various universities and colleges in the Bay Area. The purpose of the workshops is to motivate students to continue their educational dreams by reviewing writing and interview skills and letters of recommendation for their scholarship applications.
Lastly, in accordance with their mission of empowerment, the organization offers a Leadership Institute for the recipients of the scholarships. The goal is to further leadership skills to the awardees by allowing them to gain new insight into their strengths and areas of development. This program contains leadership development, public policy, advocating for the community, a panel of Latina role models, cultural connection, round table discussions with the Chicana/Latina board, public speaking, financial literacy and job readiness.
The latest project of the Chicana/Latina Foundation is to close the digital divide the Latino community. The organization was awarded with a Federal Grant which has allowed for the initiation of this project. Their goal is to conduct educational campaigns to help increase the number of computer users and Internet subscribers, while teaching low-income residents basic skill of broadband and computer usage. The Chicana/Latina Foundation will be recruiting young leaders and also employing technology outreach specialist to assist with outreach and training. The regional focus will be low-income communities in eight regions of Northern California.

she sings: she drums: she dances!
all the forest
is in a commotion of her songs -
she renders a full communion
to those native souls
eavesdropping from the hilly paths
into the ancestral kingdom -
each morning is like a herald
of her lofty communion
even the blue evening azure
echoes her drum-steps -
yonder june is drumming near
as old may fades away
brimful of her lavish & sonorous
songs & drum-steps -
& still
she sings: she drums: she dances!

PRESTONSBURG — Prestonsburg High School's graduation was pushed back one day, after a scheduling conflict arose between the ceremony and several seniors competing in a state track meet.
The exercise, which had been set for 7 p.m., Friday, May 17, will now be held at 5 p.m., Saturday, May 18, Principal Jerry Butcher told The Floyd County Times on Monday.
According to Butcher, this is something that the school has had to contend with before, but was able to avoid the conflict because races were held earlier in the day. Butcher said school officials had known of the track meet since early last week, but only learned of their race times on Thursday.
"I didn't want to move it, but we had to do it to accommodate all of the kids," Butcher said.
Some parents are angered, though, because invitations have already been sent out and family arrangements have already been made. Amy McCarty said she had family coming in from Michigan, who had fixed their work schedules so that they could attend, but who won't be able to now.
Butcher said he knew that postponing the ceremony would create a conflict, so once the decision was made to push it back, the school went to a printer and ordered post cards for students who had already sent out their invitations, and inserts for students who had not yet set out their invitations. "I promise you, wed did everything we could," Butcher said.
Floyd County Supt. Henry Webb said that, while his office left the decision up to the school, he supported the move. Webb said he was unsure if the school could have done anything to have averted the postponement. "Could some proactive action been taken? Possibly. I'm not sure."
Webb said, in the end, the school was left trying to do right by all of the students.
"Ultimately, we try to do what's best for the kids."

Fisher (3.5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
Fishers are a strange race of humanoid otters.
Fishers are cheerful and merry, always making the best of nay situation. This attitude is charming to most, but others find it annoying.
Physical Description[edit]
Fishers stand around four to five feet tall, and weigh about 65 - 85 lb, with males noticeably taller then females. They look like furry humans with sleek, otter-like heads and tails. Their fur is always some shade of brown, an they have webbed hands and feet.
Fishers get along well with almost any race, and their disarmingly charming disposition makes most other races take a liking to them as well. They are terrified of drakes and nagas.
Most fishers are Neutral good.
Fishers dwell on the coasts of Albion Proper.
Fisher are not very religious, but many worship Sha'sha, a goddess of the sea and good fortune.
Fishers speak Common, Albionian and Fisher Language.
Racial Traits[edit]
- +2 dexterity, -2 strength, -2 constitution, +2 charisma. Fishers have quick reflexes and are very cute. However, due to their smaller size, they are not as strong as other races, and are not as tough due to their slim builds.
- Humanoid (Aquatic)
- Medium.
- Fisher base land speed is 20 ft. Base swim speed is 40 ft.
- Low-Light Vision.
- Slight Build: the physical stature of fisher lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category smaller. Whenever a fisher is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as Hide), the fisher is treated as one size smaller if doing so is advantageous to the character. A fisher is also considered to be one size smaller when "squeezing" through a restrictive space. A fisher can still use weapons designed for a medium creature. The space and reach of a fisher remain those of a creature of their actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject's size category.
- Breath-holding (ex): a fisher can hold its breath for minutes equal to 3x constitution score before it risks drowning.
- +8 racial bonus on swim checks. A fisher can always take ten on a swim check, even when rushed or threatened. A fisher can use the run action while swimming, provided he swims in a straight line.
- Automatic Languages: Albionian, Fisher Language,Common. Bonus Languages: Any (except secret languages).
- Favored Class: sorcerer.

Law Enforcement Torch Run began in Wichita, Kansas, in 1981 when Police Chief Richard LaMunyon saw a need to raise awareness of and funds for Special Olympics. He conceived the idea of the Torch Run as a way to involve local law enforcement with Special Olympics and local communities by running the torch in intra-state relays that converge at Summer Games.
Now a global event, all 50 states and more than 30 foreign countries participate in Law Enforcement Torch Run. In Oregon, more than 1,500 law enforcement personnel from federal, military, state, county, and local agencies participate in the year-round Torch Run campaign.
Law Enforcement Torch Run is a three-pronged year-round program:
Adding much to the joy of Special Olympians, Torch Run Oregon volunteers participate in Awards and Games Ceremonies throughout the year at all Regional and State Competitions.
In the summer, Torch Run Oregon volunteers and Special Olympians carry the Flame of Hope through more than 30 counties statewide. A Relay Celebration is held in the city hosting Summer Games to cheer on all the runners.
Fundraising is done throughout the year to ensure Special Olympians can participate in the program free of charge. Funds are raised in many different ways, including: Polar Plunges, recruiting sponsors, T-shirt sales, Relay Pledges, Tip-a-Cops, the Harley Raffle, and Cops on Shops. Funds raised by Torch Run support Local Programs and Regional & State Competitions so that athletes can take part in the sports that they love.

CALGARY – Jon Cornish feels he has a score to settle with the B.C. Lions on Saturday.
The CFL's leading rusher hasn't forgotten his minus-one yards versus the B.C. Lions on July 28. The Calgary Stampeders' only double-digit loss so far this season was that 34-8 defeat.
"Last time was, when people look back at it, maybe the worst performance of my career," Cornish said Thursday.
"They are a team I did not perform well against last time, so I really look forward to playing them because of that. Any time you have an opportunity to right the wrongs, that's something to look forward to."
The 27-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., is on pace for the highest number of rushing yards in a single season by a Canadian, having already cracked the 1,000-yard barrier with five games to go.
Cornish needs 311 yards to pass Normie Kwong for the most rushing yards by a Canadian. Cornish's current 1,127 put him fifth all-time in the CFL.
He was the league's Canadian player of the week for the third time in a month, so it wasn't a reach for the CFL to give him the same honour for September.
The six-foot, 220-pound Cornish was dealing with flu symptoms earlier in the week, but participated in practice Thursday. Head coach John Hufnagel declared his star running back would be 100 per cent healthy for Saturday's game in Vancouver.
If the Edmonton Eskimos lose to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Friday, the winner of the Calgary-B.C. game clinches a playoff spot.
B.C. leads the West Division at 9-4 with Calgary two points back at 8-5. Saturday's meeting – their second of the season – represents a significant swing for the winner with playoffs on the horizon.
The Lions are marketing the game as "the race for first place" on their website. Calgary practised Thursday with crowd noise piped in over the McMahon Stadium loudspeaker.
"Everybody understands the significance of this game, to get a share of that first place and that's what we want to do," Stampeder quarterback Kevin Glenn said. "It'll put us in the right direction for the rest of the season."
Calgary hosts the Lions in their final meeting of the regular season Oct. 26.
Saskatchewan did the Stamps a favour in Week 14 with a 27-21 win over the Lions, while Calgary romped 39-15 over the Eskimos.
Cornish ran for 180 yards and two touchdowns versus Edmonton. His 73-yard scoring dash made him the eighth Canadian running back in the CFL to pass 1,000 yards.
He says B.C. Place is more familiar to him than most of the Lions. Cornish played minor-league football there starting in Grade 8.
"Apart from maybe Geroy (Simon), I've played in that building longer than most people on that team," Cornish said. "I love going home. For me, it's a great place to be, nice and loud."
The Lions, 5-1 at home, have been slow out of the gates lately with a one point scored in three opening quarters. They emerged a respectable 2-1 from those games, however.
B.C. is also the CFL's best defensive team in the majority of statistical categories, including an average of just 19.2 points against per game.
"They've done a really good job this year defending against the run and the pass," Cornish said. "That's why they're at the top of the league right now."
Calgary is 5-2 since the Lions embarrassed them at home in July. The Stampeders have put distance on it, but they haven't forgotten it.
"It was awhile ago, but when you watch film you look back and say 'we didn't do what we were supposed to do,'" Glenn said. "We didn't take advantage of our opportunities and we turned the ball over. You learn from it. You don't dwell on it."

Scripts' "The Darkness" Gets a Bleak Music Video
Both members of local hip-hop duo Scripts N Screwz released solo mixtapes last year. Scripts' Director's Cut is a gritty affair drawing heavy inspiration from Hollywood crime classics. It is fitting, then, that standout single "The Darkness" would get a music video straight out of some forlorn movie hostage scene. Watch below.
Image via
The video, which came out a couple days ago, features Scripts tied up in a warehouse, looking weary and being forcefully interrogated by his co-star on the song, soul singer Helen Marie.
"The Darkness" is a slow burner of a track, written from past the point of no return, no longer angry but resigned. The video was put together by Scripts, his hip-hop partner Loose Screwz and Mr. Blair. All three are members of a new art and design group calling itself Civil Ape.

The most important financial skill children can learn?
March 22, 2013
For those with such deep doubts about the plausibility of successful saving and investing, it is hard to imagine what will keep them from opting for short-term spending when the opportunity presents itself.
The gifts of waiting
If it's true that experiencing reliable delayed gratification boosts a child's chances of pursuing it, it may be wise to encourage your children toward financial experiences that show how waiting can benefit them. Here are a few ways to do this:
- Help your child establish a savings goal and a plan for meeting it. Purchasing a $25 video game can seem like a tall order for children who receive a $5-per-week allowance. Show them how strategic saving can help them achieve ambitious goals over time.
- Open a savings account for your child to demonstrate how interest works. This is a great follow-up to the step above. Interest rates are low today, but shopping for an account with a top rate can provide a more robust demonstration of interest for your child.
- Invite your children to observe your budgeting process. Organizing your own finances is a great teachable money moment for kids. Show them how you record deposits and withdrawals in your checkbook to avoid overdrawing your account -- and be sure to mention the fees that will result if you don't.
- Consider offering incentives on their allowances. Sure, they get $5 per week for keeping their room clean and taking out the trash. But would they add cleaning the dinner dishes to their chores for $7 at the end of this week? Or how about a $20 bonus for getting all A's on their next report card? Encouraging them to put in extra work for a delayed reward can spark an interest in pursuing distant perks.
- Use your bank statements to show them the difference between saving and borrowing. The difference between the 13 percent APY you pay on your credit card (if you're like the average American) and the interest you earn on your savings is a good way to demonstrate the value of saving -- rather than borrowing -- to pay for unexpected expenses.
Much like delaying gratification itself, helping a child appreciate the trade-offs between immediate pleasures and long-lasting gains can be a long process. But if you succeed in teaching it to your children, wiser money instincts may be theirs to keep through adulthood.

I have two kids and it has been hard work to find interesting ways to teach my children about money and how to best manage money. Sometimes the lessons start with the "how to think" rather than the why. I have opened a saving and checking account for my daughter, helped her start her own small business and Iam working on the same with my son. Honestly it's not as easily as it sounds. I read these articles and I get fired up about it - but my kids, that's a different story. Sometimes it's more like mood swings - it's not the sort of thing you teach as if you were teaching reading or math. I have found it to be very important to teach them the importance of how money works, the need to manage it wisely and more. Some of the adventures we have had have been very interesting at best.
