Hope, violation of election rules, debate-A A +A
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
ONE thing I learned in my years of covering Philippine elections is that the phrase "hope springs eternal" rings truer during an electoral campaign than in any other activity this country holds. Every candidate—and they are in the thousands especially when local and national polls are held simultaneously—sees himself/herself winning no matter the odds.
Candid Thoughts
In Monday's local TV Patrol newscast, a report about the Cebu gubernatorial race showed footage of one of the "the other" candidates, former broadcaster Roliveth "Boyet" Cortes.
I know Boyet from the old days when we crossed paths during coverage of major events (he was with Bantay Radyo, I was with The Freeman). He understands the electoral setup better than ordinary people, yet he is not backing off despite facing formidable opponents in One Cebu's Pablo John Garcia and the Liberal Party's Hilario "Junjun" Davide III.
In the race for vice governor, businessman Glenn Soco is plodding on despite the rejection of his bid to team-up with Garcia, who instead picked as his running mate for strategic purposes Ramon "Boboy" Durano IV of the formidable Durano clan of the fifth district. A Sun.Star photo in yesterday's issue showed Soco campaigning at the Danao Public Market. It's a lonely campaign for him, but then again, hope springs eternal.
It's amusing to hear officials of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) clarifying election rules to whoever listens and issuing threats against candidates and their supporters who violate these as the official campaign period for local elections straddles its first week. I mean, it's amusing for those who know the conduct of Philippine polls.
As I said before, the campaign period for the May 13 elections already started several months ago with Comelec officials washing their hands by saying it was not illegal because the campaign period had yet to start. I joked about it in a talk with a candidate and he told me that now is the campaign period, before that was only an "awareness drive."
Trust politicians to be wise in the use of terms. As for Comelec officials, action, not words, is the point. Note the campaign materials adorning walls, fences, posts, trees, etc. Since I got aware of the democratic practice of electing leaders, I still have to see a candidate being penalized for violating rules on their posting.
Will we ever see candidates, at least for the top local posts, engaging in a public debate on their programs of government and other important concerns? Debates used to help voters determine who among the candidates possess the best program, not to mention intellect.
In the province, the two major gubernatorial candidates, PJ and Junjun, are lawyers who presumably are not strangers to debates. A group reportedly wanted to organize a debate for them but, according to PJ's media consultant Sam Costanilla, Junjun wouldn't bite. Junjun's camp has not denied the claim, so this must be true.
In Cebu City's south district, lawyer Aristotle Batuhan, the candidate of Team Rama, has dared Bando Osmeña-Pundok Kauswagan (BOPK) bet Rodrigo "Bebot" Abellanosa, an educator, to a debate. Bebot is reportedly not biting also. I understand why Bebot wouldn't engage Totol to a debate. He is even almost silent in city council sessions.
But if a debate would be mounted, these two would crackle like fireworks: the first would be between reelectionist Mayor Michael Rama and his rival Rep. Tomas Osmeña and the second would be between Cebu City north district congressional bets Raul del Mar and Annabelle Rama.

Wine and art are similar in that they are both subjective.
What one likes, another won't and vice versa. Take for example Peter & me. He loves Salvador Dali. I love Mark Rothko.
It's not that one of us is wrong and the other is right.
It's that we have different tastes in art, and that's okay.
Just as people have different tastes in wine, and that's okay too.
To experience wine & art pairing in person, you can come to 'The Art of Abstract Tasting' at Frederik Meijer Gardens next month.
Join Allie Merrick for an entertaining and educational evening of wine, paired with light hors d' oeuvres, art, and natural beauty, that will enhance your appreciation and encourage you to define wine in your own words.

Eastman House in Hollywood at TCM Classic Film Fest
Film festivals and repertory theaters have long been the best way to revisit our cinematic heritage. Festivals like Cannes and Telluride, and venues like our own Dryden Theatre have histories that reach decades back. Our preservations play at these venues around the world. This weekend, one of our favorite preservations will play at the Turner Classic Movies Classic Film Festival in Hollywood.
Still somewhat new, the TCM Classic Film Fest gives the audience a chance to see famous Hollywood films in famous Hollywood theaters like Grauman's Chinese, the Egyptian, and the Cinerama Dome. Over four days, the festival runs five screens simultaneously, not including special screenings. The festival also offers the chance to see Hollywood stars and technicians, film scholars and preservation archivists talk about the films.
The year, George Eastman House offered the festival Lonesome, a film from the dawn of the sound era. Originally shot as a silent film with a music and effects soundtrack, Universal decided that it needed some talking sequences to compete in the 1928 marketplace. Three were shot and edited into the film, which was how it was released, and how it survives today.
It's important to us that we not only preserve the elements in our vaults, but also that we preserve the experience of watching film as it was meant to be seen. To this end, we made sure to duplicate the wonderful tinting and hand-coloring of the original nitrate print, as well as the groundbreaking soundtrack, onto new 35mm stock, so that it could be played just as it was nearly 90 years ago. We actively seek out venues that can project 35mm film in an archival manner, so that our films can be seen by as many people as possible. The TCM Classic Film Fest is just such a place.
At 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 14, I will be proud to present the film Lonesome to the attendees in Hollywood. Then next week I'll return to Rochester to continue my work at George Eastman House, the everyday job of supporting film preservation.
You, too, can support film preservation every day by seeking out venues like the Museum's Dryden Theatre, or becoming a member of George Eastman House. We're all in this together.
I will be tweeting some of my activities while I'm at the TCM Classic Film Fest. You can follow along on Twitter @eastmanhouse and on Facebook (George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film).
Jared Case is the Head of Collection Information and Access for the Motion Picture Department and one of the most popular instructors at the L. Jeffrey Selznick School of Film Preservation. He graduated from the school himself in 2002 and has been with George Eastman House ever since. He is a film noir aficionado and can be found at film festivals, mystery conventions and noir conferences around the country.

Wearing Starfleet Uniform Out in Public - Help

Re: Wearing Starfleet Uniform Out in Public - Help
I picked up and wore the TNG grey style uniform when playing the TNG role playing game inside the house with my buddies once. However, I would never go out into public with it, though. I'm just fine with letting my normal physical attractiveness and the way I dress in order to get the necessary attention when I need it to.
In other words: I take pride in looking good when I go out into public.
A Starfleet Uniform would kind of detract from that attractiveness. At least that is my opinion for us guys, anyways.
As for well formed women... thats another matter entirely. They can wear whatever sexy Trek outfit they want and get away with it. Cause guys are not really going to be looking at the uniform to begin with. Cause well... They're guys.

Facebook has really taken over some lives. It is a social networking site that is used by all ages and is connecting people like never before! What I want to know is what are the effects of Facebook on YOUR life!
I have had so much fun on Facebook because I have connected with people I thought I would never see again. I know what is going on with my family in other states and countries because they post it their walls! I can see up-to-date pictures of my nieces and nephews that live hundreds of miles away. Not only that I get great coupons from my favorite companies. I can enter sweepstakes (another hobby of mine). Facebook has become very versatile. We have recently started a Get a Social Boost Fan page! This is another way we can connect to people that are in need of our services!
Angie and I would love to find out how you use Facebook? Please let us know how Facebook effects your day-to-day life? Have the changes been negative or positive? Give us all the dirt!!

Philippines on alert as Songda turns into typhoon
Manila (AFP) May 24, 2011
A fierce storm approaching the Philippines intensified into a typhoon on Wednesday, the government said, warning it would unleash heavy rains across the main island of Luzon.
Typhoon Songda was expected to slam into the remote and mountainous northeast of Luzon on Friday, although it could change course and head towards more populated areas near the capital of Manila, forecasters said.
"We are asking the public (in storm-affected areas) to postpone travelling and stay indoors," chief state weather forecaster Graciano Yumul said.
"The public must follow instructions by their officials to prevent a possible tragedy brought by Chedeng (Songda)."
Forecasters said the typhoon, with sustained winds of 130 kilometres (80 miles) an hour and gusts of 160 kilometres an hour, was powerful enough to blow away roofs, uproot trees, damage crops and cause landslides.
Forecasters said Songda was expected to bring nearly as much rain as Tropical Storm Ketsana in 2009, which flooded about 80 percent of the capital and killed more than 400 people.
However, they said it was too early to say whether Songda would match Ketsana's intensity, nor was it forecast to dump the rains on Manila.
The central Philippines was bracing for heavy rains to begin on Thursday as Songda blew past on its way to northeast Luzon.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council said public storm warnings had been hoisted over 12 towns and provinces in the eastern and central Philippines.
"Residents in low lying and mountainous areas... are alerted against possible flashfloods and landslides," it said.
An average of 20 storms and typhoons, some of them deadly, hit the Philippines every year. Tropical storm Aere left 31 people dead after cutting across Luzon island early this month.

Sold Out $19.99
2012 vintage is available for $15.99
Zaccagnini Il Vino Dal Tralcetto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2009
Other Red Wine from Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Intense ruby red color with violet nuances. Intense bouquet, characteristic of the primary grape aromas. It has a fruity component, full-bodied and robust, well-balanced with tannin and oak features.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Dal Tralcetto shows the softness of Montepulciano, with aromas of sweet cherry, prune, tobacco, cinnamon and toasted nut. A tiny grape cutting is affixed to the neck of the bottle as a throwback to old farming traditions."
Zaccagnini Winery
Small town in the Abruzzi region which guards important treasures and traditions, Zaccagnini company was established in 1978. Starting from a family-run business, the Winery has grown rapidly and steadily with the goal of "absolute quality, from cluster to glass", reaching the current condition of an international reality with more than 150 hectares of beautiful vineyards, well-kept and monitored at every production stage.

About Other ItalianView a map of Other Italian wineries Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Umbria
LombardyHome of the fashion capital of Milan, Lombardy is not quite Italy's capital of wine. It is, however, home to a few wines worth noting. Most vineyards are far north, far south or far east. First, in the south, the sparkling wine Franciacorta – this sparkling wine is made in the methode champagnoise and the better wineries produce wine that can hold it's own in a quality bubbly line up. Lugana, a pleasant, white wine made from Trebbiano, comes from Lombardy as well. Lean reds from the Nebbiolo grape are made further up in the Valtelliana region, near the Alps.
Emilia-RomagnaThe region of Emilia-Romagna is better known for its food rather than wine. Most of the wine coming from this region is the red, slightly-fizzy Lambrusco. It's high in acid and best drunk young. The white coming out of the region is mostly Albana di Romagna. Made from the albana grape, it's typically dry and pleasant, although not found often.
UmbriaTalk about being in the center of things… the land-locked region of Umbria is smack dab in the middle of the country. The most familiar white wine of the region is Orvieto, named for the medieval Etruscan town. It's a Trebbiano-based wine with good fruit flavors and high acid. Originally a sweet wine, most Orvietos are now dry. Red wine from Umbria includes Torgiano and Montefalco - Torgiano made from the grapes of Chianti, while Montefalco uses the native sagrantino grape, making big and bold reds.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Heronville Elementary School Reviews
Some do not understand the teacher/student ratio as it is not based on the students in one classroom with one teacher but total teachers in the school and the total student population; ELL and Special Ed teachers are needed and included. In 2012 we are over 900 students led by an experienced and very dedicated principal. In partnership with parents, this school has a chance to soar for new heights. We can use a few sponsors to help us get a few things we dearly need and not in our budget like calculators, rulers, kleenex - be part of the solution and help us fly to the top and soar with Eagles.
well im a student there and I have been the seen prek and I think is so cool especialy rise and soar
I happen to know for a fact that your satistics are wrong. The ratio for student per teacher is 1:27. And the Hispanic population is 95%

New school testing plan is approved
As many as five school districts and five charter schools could soon dramatically change the way they test students.
Lawmakers passed a bill during their special session Friday to allow the Utah Board of Education to exempt some school districts and charter schools from state testing requirements so they can pilot a new testing system. The pilots, if successful, could eventually lead to statewide changes.
"It's light years ahead of what we currently have, but we don't want to jump to the whole state and all districts with it until we have tested it," said Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, the bill's sponsor. Under the bill, the state school board would have to recommend to lawmakers by November 2009 whether to go to a new testing system statewide or stick with the current system, based on the pilots' success.
Now, the state needs permission from the U.S. Department of Education to exempt the pilot schools from the requirements of No Child Left Behind. If the federal government doesn't approve the exemptions, the pilot districts might have to give both the old and new tests so Utah schools don't risk losing federal funding.
If the federal government agrees to the pilots, those schools would no longer have to give Criterion Referenced Tests (CRTs) in the spring, or the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Utah Basic Skills Competency Test (UBSCT), which students take before graduation. Instead they would give computer adaptive tests and the ACT, among others. Computer adaptive tests adjust to students' skill levels as they take them.
Advocates of the changes say they will provide more useful data to teachers, students and parents because computer adaptive tests show children's strengths and weaknesses and provide immediate results. Critics point out that students could actually spend more time testing than they do now. Leaders of the Jordan and Salt Lake City school districts have criticized the idea of making the changes statewide, saying, among other things, that questions remain about computer-adaptive testing.
The state school board has already given permission to the Juab and Sevier school districts to pilot the program. The Logan School District will also try the program but also give the old tests for comparison.
The state school board can choose another two urban school districts and five charters to participate as well. State Superintendent Patti Harrington said the new east Jordan district has already expressed an interest.
The bill passed the Senate 22-5 and the House 69-0. Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, expressed concern about passing such a bill in a rushed special session when lawmakers didn't have much time to consider it. Stephenson, however, said the Governor's Blue Ribbon Panel on Assessment has already been studying the changes for months and held public meetings across the state. He said holding off until the general session in January could mean two sets of tests for Juab and Sevier students.
"That would be an onerous burden on the students and diminish instructional time," Stephenson said.
The Utah State Office of Education is giving the three districts that have already agreed to try the changes about $350,000 to run the new tests, Harrington said. Her office estimated earlier this year that putting the system into effect statewide would cost more than $60 million. The panel had hoped to recommend a new statewide system to the governor this year but instead recommended just the pilots in light of state budget cuts and to have more time to study the pilots' results.
The pilots must end before July 1, 2010, according to the bill.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
- 2 cups 1-inch-wide cauliflower florets
- 1 1/4 cups Light-and-Crisp Whole-Wheat Bread Crumbs
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3 cups cold low-fat (1%) milk
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (5 ounces)
- 1/4 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (1 ounce)
- 2 teaspoons mustard powder
- 3/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups) wholegrain elbow macaroni, cooked for 3 minutes less than the package directions (about 3 cups cooked)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Place the cauliflower into a steamer basket fitted over the pot, cover, and steam until just tender, about 5 minutes. Finely chop the steamed cauliflower.
In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, and oil.
In a large saucepan, whisk together the milk and flour until the flour is dissolved. Whisking constantly, bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, mustard powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until the cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped cauliflower and macaroni and stir until well coated.
Spray an ovenproof 10-inch high-sided skillet with cooking spray. Pour the mixture into the prepared skillet. Sprinkle with the bread crumb mixture, place on a baking sheet, and bake until the top is browned and the cheese is bubbly, 35 to 40 minutes.

I used the sarcasm quotes around the word teacher because this guy must be barely smart enough to tie his own shoes.
Anyway, 28-year-old Allen James Guerin is a teacher at Haines City High School in, where else, Haines City, Florida. He's married and has a 5-month-old daughter. None of that stopped him from having a sexual relation with one of his underage female students. Being the obvious Einstein that he is Guerin posted his feelings about the girl on his MySpace obviously thinking that he's the only person on the internet and that his wife would never see it. She did.
He allegedly even told his victim to deny the relationship.
This guy is even too stupid for the dumbass award.

Existing customers are more profitable than new ones, experts say. In this report, Okechukwu Nnodim writes on how small business owners can increase sales by dealing with their existing customers
Many entrepreneurs believe that the only way to increase sales is to find new customers. But experts say this strategy leaves out an obvious potential source of new sales. According to them, it's much easier to get an existing customer to buy from you than to convince a new customer to take the plunge. They note that entrepreneurs who pursue new customers at the expense of existing ones are forgetting the low hanging fruit, which is their existing customer base. Professionals say if you want to expand sales, the number one place to go is the existing customer base, as they already trust you.
Business owners often talk about the lifetime value of customers, without realising that their value is far more than just the sales value of them staying with the same model car, as an often quoted example gives. Existing customers are more profitable than new customers, yet businesses are constantly extolled to sell more, without any qualification whatsoever. It is quite true that revenue is tied to sales volume and no one would argue with the proposition that business begins with the sale, but which sale and to whom can be important. The wrong sale can cost you profits either directly or as an opportunity cost. By opportunity cost, the same sale elsewhere might have made you a higher profit. Remember the 80/20 rule, which states that 80 per cent of your profits as an entrepreneur always come from 20 per cent of your customers.
Small business analysts say it's infinitely easier and always more profitable to work at increasing the purchasing of your satisfied customers than it is to go out and add new ones. They note that there are many reasons for this, but amongst the most important are that you have established your expertise, credibility and trust. It costs money to acquire new customers and to set them in your system. And new customers tend to buy in smaller amounts. Businesses often spend a small fortune to get new customers. Think of your advertising. Some of it is intended to remind people of your business, but mostly it is intended to encourage new customers to buy. Some of the reasons why it is important to concentrate on existing customers include the fact that they cost less to service and are easier to deal with because you are more likely to know and understand their requirements.
Experts say this is because they trust you they are likely to buy more often, and to buy more expensive products or services. If they become raving fans they are also more likely to refer others to you. Word of mouth is the most powerful form of promotion which you are will enjoy from existing customers. The benefits of intentionally focusing most of your selling and marketing efforts on your current customers, according to experts are: lower costs for additional sales, greater customer loyalty, higher customer satisfaction scores, and more profits. So just how might you go about increasing sales to existing customers, and increasing the profits to your business by more than if you just got out on the street and chased more sales. If you could keep the same number of customers but increase the size of their orders you'd increase your revenue, and if you managed to do that without reducing your margins, you would increase your profits. Or if you could keep the same number of customers, and the size of their order, but persuade them to consume more often and therefore order more often you would also increase revenue. Below are other means to boost sales from existing customer base, according to experts:
Offer some products in bundles
You can offer some of your products or services in bundles for a special price to try to get an existing customer to try some of your other offerings. Look for ways to boost sales and draw your customers the more to your services. Convince your sales employees to go back to existing customers and try to sell those clients related products or services. A common example is a warranty, experts say. Think of how many times you've purchased electronics and a sales person has tried to sell you on an extended service plan. Customers sometimes take the bait, expert say.
Provide useful information
According to professionals, if a customer is eyeing a product but about to put it back on the shelf, make sure you let them know that the product is going on sale the following week. If you monitor your website's online shopping cart, you may email an existing customer who didn't complete a sale and offer them a discount to complete the purchase. Do not allow your customer to rescind on any product which you know has been useful to him, except if he has genuine reasons to. Always look for ways to improve on what you offer and make them see reasons to continue dealing with you. Brainstorm with your team what you know about each business. You will be surprised at the cumulative knowledge in your business.
Consider giving out rewards
Experts say this pays, as many customers are pleased to receive gift items from their suppliers. Like the airlines have done with frequent fliers, there is no reason a small business can't reward good customers with a loyalty programme. Offer a discount on their birthday or for every 10 purchases give them one for free. Give free samples. Offering freebies isn't necessarily going to cost you an arm and a leg, but it can increase sales by engendering good feelings among existing customers, convincing them to pass on the sample to a friend or family member, and/or convince them to buy your latest hand cream or ice cream flavour. This is a good way to win customer loyalty and boost business sales.

After a long wait, the WMC Lady Warriors opened their 2013 season with a game against Montague and came up on the wrong side of a 22-0 outcome.
WMC's Anna Sweetman reached base twice on a walk and single; Lorelle Hallenbeck reached on a walk; and Ariana Brondyke collected WMC's other hit.
Sweetman pitched three strong innings, striking out two and walking two, but was the victim of several errors. All 22 Montague runs were unearned.
"After waiting so long to get our season started, we had a rough game in the field," said WMC coach Jeff Nestell. "Anna pitched a great game; we just didn't back her up on the field. We get right back at it tomorrow in the Orchard View tournament. Hopefully, we can put this game behind us and play better, starting tomorrow."
WMC's junior varsity baseball team Friday defeated host Montague 18-8 in five innings.
Jared Varnado reached base five times, scoring three runs for the Warriors and pitched three solid innings. Nelson Lowe led the scoring with four runs while Jordan Rhodes had a two-run double. Sam Goorman pitched the last two innings, striking out the last batter to end the game.

It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm Review
I can't go to Tous Les Jours without getting a Croque Monsieur and at least a half a dozen macarons. It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm though contains FAR fewer calories.
Just sayin'! Macarons are my downfall, danger, danger, danger! This lip balm is far safer.
Available in Grape, Pineapple, Grape, and Strawberry flavors It's Skin Macaron Lip Balm is a sweet little lip balm that comes in a macaron shaped container.
I got the Strawberry flavor and it's quite tasty with a true to strawberry flavor that isn't plastic-y! This is a dense lip balm with a very light feel on lips providing a little moisture but not a ton (I'd say the hydration factor is equivalent to what you can get from a Chapstick).
Unfortunately I thought it would be a softer texture with a glossier finish which leads me to say, you don't absolutely need it. But damn isn't it cute?
I got mine on E-bay at F2PLUS1 for a few bucks (not affiliated with this seller).

5/17/13 9:41 Robin:
If I had one sweet I had to eat for the rest of my life, it would be the coconut macaroons from a little French shop in our historic district. They are huge (big enough to share but I don't) and heavenly. Now I want one desperately….
5/17/13 13:41 Tammie:
Yeah I don't care if it sucked I need one of these haha. Off to eBay! I've been looking for so long but never saw any before.
5/17/13 20:16 Olivia:
Hmm I think I need these just for the cuteness factor! They'd look great on my desk 😉

I'm sure you can depot it and put some other balm that works in it right?

Egypt and Assyria Serve the Lord
"In that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, 'Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance'" (vv. 24–25).- Isaiah 19:16-25
Egypt enslaved the Israelites for centuries, yet its relationship with Israel did not end when Moses led the people out of Pharaoh's hand and God destroyed the Egyptian army (Ex. 12:33–42; 14). Solomon married the daughter of a later pharaoh, which was a common way to cement alliances and secure peace between kingdoms (1 Kings 3:1). Judah later sought Egypt's help against Assyria (2 Kings 18:21). Still, animosity between Egypt and the children of Jacob never fully ceased. After all, many decades after Isaiah died, Pharaoh Neco killed King Josiah of Judah (2 Kings 23:28–30).
Thus, ancient Judahites must have been astonished when they first heard the prophecy recorded in Isaiah 19:16–25. The prophet foresaw a day when God would reveal Himself to the Egyptians in a terrifying manner that would achieve Egypt's salvation. Let us consider a few ways Isaiah conveys this truth. First, he speaks of "five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord of hosts" (v. 18a). This refers to a conversion so thorough that the Egyptians would even speak Hebrew, the language of sacred Scripture. We need not take this as a literal prediction of five God-worshiping cities in Egypt (though it might be). Humanly speaking, it was unthinkable for even one city to serve the Lord because pagan Egypt hated Him so. The image of five converted cities shows how miraculous the conversion would be.
Second, one of the cities is "the City of Destruction" (v. 18b). The Hebrew terms for "destruction" and "sun" are easily confused by the human eye, and several ancient manuscripts of Isaiah indicate that the original term was likely the one for "sun" (copyist errors likely led to the Hebrew for "destruction" appearing in some other manuscripts). It makes sense for Isaiah to speak of "the City of the Sun," which was Heliopolis, the center of the worship of the sun god Ra, a chief deity in Egypt's pantheon. If even "the City of the Sun" would serve God, then Egypt's salvation would be a miracle indeed.
Finally, Egypt and Assyria would be accepted into the people of God on equal terms. Isaiah 14:25 features God referring to Egypt as "my people" and Assyria as "the work of my hands." The Lord usually reserves these designations for Israel in the Old Testament (Ps. 138:8; Jer. 11:4). That He can give them to Egypt and Assyria indicates their full conversion and incorporation into His chosen nation.
Coram Deo
Today's passage also speaks of an altar to God in the midst of Egypt (Isa. 19:19). Matthew Henry sees this as pointing to the worship of God in spirit and truth in all places as Jesus describes in John 4:21–24: "In Christ Jesus all distinction of nations is taken away; and a spiritual altar, a gospel church, in the midst of the land of Egypt, is as acceptable to God as one in the midst of the land of Israel." When the Lord's foes become His followers, they may worship Him anywhere.

With the primary tallies neatly logged and stored away, voters can now focus their attention on candidates for non-partisan races in the county.
Three candidates have filed their intentions to run for positions on the Taylorsville City Commission – one for mayor and two for commissioner.
Lynda Huckleberry, seated commissioner, said that if elected as mayor her goals would be to unite commissioners to work as a team and ensure more orderly meetings. She also wants to see a greater focus on issues facing the public works department.
The Shelby County Lady Rockets broke open a close game with three runs in the fifth inning to secure a first round win over Spencer County in the 30th District Softball Tournament held in Lawrenceburg Monday night.
A failed economic stimulus, a massive health care bill, never-ending government bailouts – the liberal Democrats who control Washington keep spending your money, and they're out of control. Recent events across the Atlantic have given us a glimpse at one possible future if our country continues down its current course.
The 2nd Annual Taylorsville Summer Run by the Lake was held Saturday at Taylorsville Lake State Park. The event is a fundraiser for the Spencer County elementary level cross-country team.
"We had another great race this year," said Coach Josh Seabolt. "Despite the hard rain from the night before, the turnout was still amazing."
Seabolt said that the course was very muddy and caused many runners to slide down the hills instead of run.
What is statewide special about Red Bird? Everything. The school at Beverly in Bell County will march into history next month as the latest in a long parade of community schools that are no more.
Nestled at the toe of Daniel Boone National Forest, Red Bird High will graduate its final senior class, unless funding is found to sustain a school that opened during Woodrow Wilson's presidency, 1921.
The expansion of Taylorsville's estimated $2.6 million wastewater treatment plant recently received an $800,000 boost, but city officials said developers will still need to contribute to the project to ensure customers are not burdened with the cost.
Taylorsville Clerk Steve Biven said that the $800,000 Community Development Block Grant from the Department of Local Government will be added to a $400,000 Kentucky Infrastructure Authority grant – bringing the city $1.2 million closer to being able to pay for the project.
The decision to save the Ashes Creek School and Yates (or Meyers) House log cabin from destruction when Taylorsville Lake was being formed was truly a wise one.
"Ashes Creek" is indeed a creek, but it has always been considered a place like Briar Ridge, Possum Ridge or Hickory Ridge.
Records of the Spencer County Board of Education list the boundaries of the Ashes Creek School District in 1930. Here's what they say: (punctuation per original school board document)
When Karen Larimore watches Spencer County Elementary School's students exit the building for the last time this school year, she does so knowing that she wouldn't be there this fall to welcome them back.
And although that thought brings a bit of sadness to her heart, Larimore is ready for life's next chapter.
"I know that when school rolls around for me that will be a very big shift," she said.

Statue of Sekhmet
Height: 206.000 cm

This larger-than-life statue, just over 2 metres tall, is the seated figure of Sekhmet, a goddess associated with destruction who has the head of a lioness. Her name means 'she who is powerful'. According to one myth, Sekhmet was the fiery eye of the sun god Re and was sent against his enemies. The statue comes from Thebes in Egypt. It is dated around 1350 BC, making it over 3,000 years old.
The statue is carved from a single block of polished granodiorite - a black rock which is chipped and flecked in places. The goddess is seated on a narrow throne, her bare feet placed on a small plinth, her palms resting on her knees. In the fingers of her left hand she clasps an ankh, shaped like a cross, with a loop at the top. For the ancient Egyptians, the ankh was a symbol of life.
The most striking thing about Sekhmet is her lioness's head, complete with muzzle, carved whiskers and chipped nose. Her ears are rounded and alert. Set behind them, on top of her head, is a large circle of stone - called a sun-disc. In front of this is a 'uraeus', the head of a rearing cobra that symbolises Sekhmet's destructive power. Either side of her ears and circling under her chin is a mane. It is carved with small triangles like the rays of the sun. The mane overlaps a heavy wig - typical of Egyptian deities - which covers the back of the head and falls in two stiff hanks over Sekhmet's shoulders. Grooves in the stone suggest the strands of hair, which partially obscure the carved concentric circles of her ceremonial collar.
Sekhmet has a slender figure and wears a simple, close-fitting gown. A band of decoration defines the scooped neckline. A similar pattern runs under her bust and a flower is centred on each breast. Her arms appear to be bare. Sekhmet's gown is calf length and she wears ankle bracelets.
Sekhmet's body is supported by a column that runs up the back of the statue. The throne she is sitting on has a low back and no arms. A single narrow column of hieroglyphs is carved on the front of the throne on each side. Sekhmet was especially revered by King Amenhotep III and the inscriptions describe him as 'beloved of Sekhmet who smites the Nubians'. This statue is thought to be one of 730 erected in Amenhotep's mortuary temple - one seated and one standing for each day of the year. They were part of a ritual to pacify Sekhmet's fury on a regular basis.

Researchers are studying how molecular subtypes of breast cancer may be useful in planning treatment and developing new therapies. Most studies divide breast cancer into four major molecular subtypes:
These same subtypes also appear in ductal carcinoma in situ [38-39].
Other less common molecular subtypes have also been described including normal breast-like, apocrine molecular type and claudin-low type. Breast cancers that do not fall into any of these subtypes are often listed as unclassified.
At this time, molecular subtypes are used mostly in research settings and are not included in pathology reports (learn more). Prognosis and treatment decisions are still guided by tumor stage, and tumor characteristics like hormone receptor status and HER2/neu status.
The complex profile of each subtype is determined using molecular and genetic information from tumor cells. However, some characteristics (including hormone receptor status, HER2/neu status and proliferation rate) can be used to roughly define the four major subtypes (see Figure 4.9 below). Much of what is known about the four subtypes is related to these characteristics that are already well understood.
These tumors tend to be*
Prevalence (approximate)
Luminal A
ER+ and/or PR+, HER2-, low Ki67
Luminal B
ER+ and/or PR+, HER2+ (or HER2- with high Ki67)
Triple negative/basal-like
HER2 type
*These are the most common profiles for each subtype. However, not all tumors within each subtype will have all these features.
ER+ = estrogen receptor-positive
ER- = estrogen receptor-negative
PR+ = progesterone receptor-positive
PR- = progesterone receptor-negative
HER2+ = HER2/neu receptor-positive
HER2- = HER2/neu receptor-negative
Adapted from selected sources [30,40-44].
Learn more about tumor characteristics like hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor status and progesterone receptor status) and HER2/neu status.
Learn more about HER2/neu status.
Most breast cancers are luminal tumors. Luminal tumor cells look the most like the cells of breast cancers that start in the inner (luminal) cells lining the mammary ducts.
Luminal A tumors tend to be:
Fewer than 15 percent of luminal A tumors have p53 mutations, a factor linked with a poorer prognosis [30,45].
Of the four subtypes, luminal A tumors tend to have the best prognosis, with fairly high survival rates and fairly low recurrence rates [30,43-44,46-47]. Because luminal A tumors tend to be ER+, treatment for these tumors often includes hormone therapy (learn more).
Luminal tumors have cells that look like those of breast cancers that start in the inner (luminal) cells lining the mammary ducts.
Luminal B tumors tend to be:
Women with luminal B tumors are often diagnosed at a younger age than those with luminal A tumors [46,48]. And, compared to luminal A tumors, they tend to have factors that lead to a poorer prognosis including [30,43-46,48-49]:
In some studies, women with luminal B tumors have fairly high survival rates, although not as high as those with luminal A tumors [30,44,46].
Meet Nicole Vazquez, a woman living with triple negative breast cancer.
Triple negative breast cancers are:
There are several subsets of triple negative breast cancer. One subset is referred to as basal-like because the tumors have cells with features similar to those of the outer (basal) cells surrounding the mammary ducts. Most basal-like tumors contain p53 mutations [30,40,45].
Most triple negative tumors are basal-like and most basal-like tumors are triple negative. However, not all triple negative tumors are basal-like and not all basal-like tumors are triple negative (as shown in the figure below).
About 15 to 20 percent of breast cancers are triple negative or basal-like [30,40-45]. These tumors tend to occur more often in younger women and African American women (more on race/ethnicity and subtypes of breast cancer) [30,44,48,50-54]. And, most BRCA1 breast cancers are both triple negative and basal-like [44,50,55-56].
Triple negative/basal-like tumors are often aggressive and have a poorer prognosis (at least within the first five years after diagnosis) compared to the estrogen receptor-positive subtypes (luminal A and luminal B tumors) [30,40,43-44,57].
Learn more about BRCA1 mutations.
Triple negative/basal-like tumors are usually treated with some combination of surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. These tumors cannot be treated with hormone therapies or trastuzumab (Herceptin) because they are ER- and HER2-.
The genes linked to basal-like tumors are not well understood at this time and thus, targeted therapies do not yet exist. However, potential targets for future therapies include the EGF receptor, aB-crystallin and cyclin E [58].
Clinical trials studying treatment options for triple negative/basal-like tumors are underway. Learn more about clinical trials for people with triple negative/basal-like breast cancers.

The molecular subtype HER2 type is not the same as HER2+ and is not used to guide treatment. Although most HER2 type tumors are HER2+ (and named for this reason), about 30 percent are HER2- [44]. HER2 type tumors tend to be [30,43-46,59]:
About 10 to 15 percent of breast cancers have this molecular profile [30,43-44]. About 75 percent of HER2 type tumors contain p53 mutations [30,45,59].
HER2 type tumors have a fairly poor prognosis and are prone to early and frequent recurrence and metastases [30,43-44,51-52,60]. Women with HER2 type tumors appear to be diagnosed at a younger age than those with luminal A and luminal B tumors [42-43].
HER2/neu-positive tumors can be treated with the drug trastuzumab (Herceptin).
About six to 10 percent of all breast cancers are classified as normal-like [30,42]. Although called "normal-like," these tumors are not more common than others. These tumors are usually small and tend to have a good prognosis [30].
At this time, it is unclear whether normal-like tumors are a distinct molecular subtype [44]. It may be that some tumors are unable to be classified into another subtype because the tissue sample tested did not contain enough cancer cells.
The prevalence rates of the four subtypes of breast cancer appear to differ by race.
In studies of U.S. and British women, triple negative/basal-like tumors appear to be more common among black women (especially those who are premenopausal) compared to white women [30,44,52-54,61-63]. Although the reasons for this are not clear, some studies suggest lifestyle factors might play a role (learn more).
Higher rates of triple negative/basal-like tumors may explain, to some degree, the poor prognosis of breast cancers diagnosed in younger black women. Further, luminal A tumors, which have the best prognosis of the subtypes, occur less often among premenopausal African American women compared to postmenopausal African American women and compared to white women of either menopausal status [30].
Luminal B and HER2 type tumors do not appear to differ by race [30].

Otley aims to seal Tour de France legacy with 'Do You Ride?' cycling strategy
Council in Lizzie Armitstead's home town approves initiative aimed at growing cycling across number of disciplines
Previous News
Next News
The local council in Otley, West Yorkshire – the home town of Olympic silver medallist Lizzie Armitstead – has approved plans for a strategy that aims to deliver a lasting legacy to cycling in the area following next year's Grand Départ of the Tour de France from nearby Leeds.
The news coincides with the revelation in recent days that Sustrans, British Cycling and CTC will be working to ensure that the visit to Yorkshire of cycling's biggest race will translate into cycling raising its profile in the region and becoming more popular, whether for sport, fitness, or simply getting around.
The Yorkshire Evening Post says that local cyclists, including members of Otley Sportive, have been involved in putting together the town's cycling plan, which has the name, 'Do You Ride?'
Among other things, the initiative will include a focus on ensuring that cyclists feel safer while out riding and it will also address at a range of disciplines including road, mountain biking, and BMX.
As Otley Sportive says on its website, "This strategy outlines the potential of Otley as a Cycling Town hosting a full range of cycling disciplines. This will provide facilities and a framework for all cyclists from those riders using a cycle as a sustainable mode of transport to those using a cycle as part of their elite sporting ability."
It adds: "This is an exciting time for Otley to engage in the Cycling Culture. It's an opportunity that cannot be missed."
The project's lead contributor, Luke Minshall, commented: "There has never been such an amazing exciting time to really put cycling at the heart of the community.
"We have an opportunity to ensure that there is a legacy from the Olympics and from the Tour de France.
"This really maps out our approach to get it right and to really involve the community, and reap the benefits that cycling can bring to a town and its economy."
Otley Town Council leader, Councillor John Eveleigh, added: "Pulling together this strategy has been an amazing collaborative effort from across the cycling community and wider, and I'm pleased that the town council have adopted it.
"Now the hard work begins and although the strategy has some far-reaching and ambitious aspirations, if we all work together we can achieve those ambitions."
Stage 1 of next year's Tour de France will pass through Otley on its way from Leeds to Harrogate. The town also hosts the annual Otley Cycle Races, now approaching their 28th edition, which is scheduled this year for 3 July.
I reckon Otley's the best start and finish town if you're tackling the TDF stage - as you aren't going to enjoy empty roads with Police protection leaving the road system nightmare of Leeds.
The best way of seeing Yorkshire for me is The White Rose Classic in June. It's through beautiful empty countryside with the worst sucession of nasty steep climbs on it I've ever had to zig zag up. The last one is just 6 miles from the end.
Silly me. You're probably right....

Offloading Cellular Networks With Information-Centric Networking: The Case of Video Streaming
Download Now
Date Added: Jun 2012
Format: PDF
In this paper, the authors present a cooperative video streaming application running on top of an "Information Centric Network" (ICN). The application could be used on mobile devices to offload the cellular radio interface. They demonstrate their application in a test-bed exploiting the CCNx software implementation of an ICN, the VideoLan tool and the Apple HTTP Live Streaming format. An Information Centric Network is a communication system specialized in distributing contents, rather than providing host-to-host connectivity. Each content is uniquely identified by means of a name, (e.g., a string). To fetch content, an user sends a content-request that includes the content name.

Twin Falls Times News
TWIN FALLS -- If you are new to the area, a visit to Shoshone Falls Park may be on your list.
At 212 feet tall and 900 feet wide, the falls is heralded as the "Niagara of the West," and the park offers various views and photo opportunities.
And if you're local, you might find yourself at nearby Dierkes Lake enjoying a dip in the waters during the warmer months or a day of rock climbing or bouldering.
Whether you are a visitor or resident - Shoshone Falls and Dierkes Lake attract more than 300,000 visitors each year - Dennis Bowyer hopes you keep coming back and discovering there is more to the area than just the falls.
To make sure you do, some potential changes may improve your experience when visiting Shoshone Falls or Dierkes Lake. Recently Bowyer, director of the Twin Falls Parks and Recreation Department, formed a subcommittee of four to re-examine master plans from 1991 and 1997.
Some of the improvements that resulted from these master plans included the parking lot near the overlook in Shoshone Falls Park and the ticket booth at the entrance.
Now the subcommittee is looking at what wasn't done, Bowyer said, and answering the question: Is it still viable today?
So far they have met only once, last month, with plans to gather at Shoshone Park and Dierkes Lake and take a tour this month.
Some of the projects that have been discussed:
Restoring and clearing out brush from the stone staircase near the Kiwanis Nook. "It's a real neat place. That's one of the things people probably don't know is there," Bowyer said.
Deciding whether Shoshone Falls Park needs picnic shelters installed. "It's already a really shady area down there; is there a need?" Bowyer said.
Electricity at the north and south picnic tables at the second parking loop. The subcommittee has also discussed adding restrooms to these two areas; the nearest ones are next to the Shoshone Falls overlook.
Installing a fishing dock that is ADA-accessible at Dierkes Lake, away from swimming areas. Bowyer said he hasn't heard complaints of fishing hooks in the water, but there has been tangled fishing line.
An amphitheater at Dierkes Lake has been brought up, but Bowyer said the group will look into whether this is the best location. Another spot? Possibly Auger Falls. Bowyer said this also brings up the discussion of whether the city is the best entity to pursue this project or perhaps another group in the community.
Roadwork on the upper road. Minor patch work has been done here and there, but Bowyer said maybe it is time to look at rebuilding the road.
Adding additional viewpoints of Shoshone Falls and the Snake River Canyon along Centennial Trail.
Mounting a webcam to a tower near Shoshone Falls so people can view the water flow to pick the best day to visit.
Building a trail, with stairs near the RV parking that connects Shoshone Falls Park and Dierkes Lake.
Creating a trail to connect the two areas is a particular favorite of subcommittee member Tennille Adams of Twin Falls.
"Everyone has to drive to get from Shoshone Falls to Dierkes Lake. There is a slight path, but there is a drop-off; we need an official trail," Adams said.
Adams would also like to see widening of the road leading down into the two parks.
"It's hard to park there during family events," Adams said.
Providing electricity to the picnic areas is also high on Adams' list of priorities.
"Shoshone Falls and Dierkes Lake are wonderful assets to the community," Adams said. "There's a lot of possibilities to enhance what we got."

Bonezek, Verdun Spark DePaul Past Providence in BIG EAST Opener
March 23, 2013
PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Staci Bonezek and Kirsten Verdun and made sure DePaul got off to good start in Saturday's BIG EAST Conference season opener.
Bonezek hit a two-run home run and had three RBIs while Verdun smashed a two-run home run and was the winning pitcher in the Blue Demons' 5-3 victory Saturday over Providence in the opener of a doubleheader.
After Providence had drawn within 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning, Bonezek delivered her second home run of the season with pinch-runner Amanda Mener aboard.
DePaul (14-12, 1-0) jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Morgan Maize reached on a fielder's choice, advanced to second on a passed ball and scored on Bonezek's RBI double.
Providence (9-14, 0-1) responded with a run in the bottom of the inning when Shanelle Harrell hit a solo home run. The Friars went on to load the bases with two out when Verdun induced an inning-ending groundout.
Allie Braden led off the third with a double. With two out, Verdun came through with the shot over the left-field fence---her third homer of the season.
The home team had two runners on base with two out in the bottom of the fourth when Verdun struck out Danielle Deraney.
The Friars drew within 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth when Megan Rollings walked, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt, to third on a groundout and scored on Harrell's double to center field.
After Bonezek's blast, Providence got one back on Sara Kitterman's leadoff homer in the bottom of the sixth.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Friars had runners on first and second with one out when Verdun (10-6) struck out Stephanie Kiesel and Kitterman.
Bonezek wound up going 3-for-3 with the homer and three RBIs. Both Braden and Connolly had two hits while Verdun had the home run and two RBIs. In the circle, Verdun gave up three runs on seven hits with eight strikeouts and four walks.
Game two of the twin bill was scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m.

UPDATE: State Patrol Reporting Hundreds of Crashes Statwide
Metrodome Cranks Up the Heat to Melt Off Snow
Metrodome officials are making sure the heavy snow in downtown Minneapolis doesn't bring the roof down. It's been almost two years to the day since 17 inches of snow in 24 hours tore holes in the inflatable dome, forcing the Vikings to play the final two games of the season elsewhere.
Doctors Say It's Time to Give Your Heart A Break
As people across the Upper Midwest break out the shovels and snow blowers, doctors say it's time to give your heart a break. Dr. David Warren at the Regions Hospital emergency department says they worry about patients who aren't accustomed to exercising and then try to lift a lot of heavy snow.
