COINCIDING with presidential election campaigns, the Summer Olympics are typically a rare time of national unity in a season of political division.
At least they would be if not for President Barack Obama's campaign ads. In one Olympic spot, Obama claims Republican candidate Mitt Romney's agenda is to "cut taxes for the folks at the very top" and "roll back regulations on big banks" while Obama asks "the wealthy to pay a little more" so the government can "invest" in "middle-class jobs."
As Americans come together to cheer our athletes' efforts on the international stage, Obama touts class warfare and division, suggesting hard work and success should be punished. Where most citizens see an American athlete on the winner's dais as a moment of national pride, the president sees a rich guy wearing a big gold medallion around his neck who needs to be taxed.
Compare Obama's ads to former President George W. Bush's 2004 Olympics ad. That spot noted there were just 40 democracies in the world in 1972, but 120 by 2004, including two new additions — Afghanistan and Iraq — and concluded, "With strength, resolve and courage, democracy will triumph over terror. And hope will defeat hatred."
That was an ad matching its message to its audience and the broad goals of the Olympics. Obama's ad does the opposite and actually facilitates division.
Sadly, seeking a momentary escape from the troubles of the Obama economy by watching the Olympics provides no escape from Obama.
Oklahoma City improves
This year's improvement in student scores on state tests was the biggest seen in the Oklahoma City school district in 30 years. This was the first year seniors had to pass four of seven end-of-instruction exams to get a diploma. No doubt, that helped motivate many who would have shrugged off the tests in the past. This is good news because it indicates Oklahoma's reforms are having a positive impact on many students who aren't college bound but still need a quality high school education to succeed in the private sector. For example, work as an electrical contractor provides a good wage without a college degree. But the Independent Electrical Contractors of Oklahoma City has noted many high school graduates don't qualify because they can't do the high school math required! We're cautiously optimistic the new graduation requirements are reducing those shortcomings and increasing job opportunities for students of all backgrounds.
He of little faith
Henry D. Irwin's name didn't make the Oklahoma history books, but in a presidential election year it's worth a mention. In 1960, Irwin was an example of what's known as a "faithless elector." That's someone who pledges to vote for one ticket when the Electoral College meets and then breaks the pledge. Irwin pledged to vote for the Richard Nixon/Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. ticket in 1960 when that Republican slate won in Oklahoma. Instead, Irwin voted for two non-candidates, Democrat Harry Byrd for president and Republican Barry Goldwater for vice president. More than 150 instances of "faithless electors" have been noted through history; none has changed the final outcome of an election. Irwin reportedly said he just didn't like Nixon, despite his pledge. It was moot, of course, because an Electoral College majority chose John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson that year. Johnson's election to the presidency four years later (over Goldwater) was the last time the state's electoral votes went to the Democratic ticket.
Now money's a bad thing?
Four years ago, Barack Obama had no problem with big money being spent in presidential campaigning. Of course, he was the one doing it. Now that President Obama's campaign isn't raking in the cash like it did in 2008, he's uncomfortable with what's being spent by challenger Mitt Romney and Republican backers. In July, for the third straight month, Romney's campaign raised more money than the Obama campaign. At a campaign stop this week, Obama lamented that between now and Election Day, "the other side is going to spend more money than we have ever seen" making its case against him. More money than we have ever seen. This from the man whose campaign raised close to $780 million in 2008 — a record total, and twice the amount raised by Republican John McCain — and spent about $760 million. Running for president requires serious money. That's not about to change. If Obama's record in office wasn't so disappointing, he wouldn't have to worry so much about what Romney says or how much the challenger spends to say it.

Re: Had Sisko Always Been Command Track
Where did we see LaForge and Riker were in the same graduating class?
I was under the impression that they were around the Academy at the same time with Riker having had just gotten out and was committed to an assignment still around Earth (such as the Shuttle Run described in Chain of Command) while LaForge was in his first or second year.
I *DID* get the impression they knew each other from the Academy scene, but not necessarily as class mates.
If LaForge and Riker both WERE in the Academy together, I would have accepted LaForge to be introduced AS the Chief Engineer, not fighting for the promotion to that posting. After all, LaForge was a military brat growing up --- I'm sure he would have gotten some form of push if by nothing else then his parents talking him up to his CO.
But after all that's said, its also fair to point out that there's no way any of these facts would have bearing on the first season since these facts didn't evolve till much later :-|. It's not exactly like the character bios were THIS descrip before starting season 1.

Look quickly at Chris Evans and you're bound to see him as a pretty-boy actor, one of those open faces that would seem more suited to an Abercrombie & Fitch catalog or a fraternity kegger than a nuanced drama. Look quickly at the roles he's chosen, like in "Fantastic Four" or "Not Another Teen Movie" or "The Perfect Score," and you're bound to think of him as silly and lightweight, a hotshot who, as Human Torch/ Johnny Storm, actually plays, well, the consummate hotshot.
Look quickly at Chris Evans, however, and you're bound to miss the most important thing about him — this boy can act.
"Well, he's a superb actor, and I'm not saying that just 'cause he's in my film. I think he's brilliant," director Danny Boyle said of the 26-year-old actor, whom he cast in the sci-fi epic "Sunshine." "He's a very talented guy, a thoroughbred really. He's a bit of a Mary Poppins — he can pull anything out of the bag."
(To see what Danny Boyle has to say about the star of his new movie, click here.)
"Anything," of course, isn't exactly the word that comes to mind when thinking of Evans' most popular roles (which actually are pretty much his only roles — the "Cellular" star has only appeared in 10 films). To the casual observer, his characters tend to be more similar than not — so similar, in fact, that it's tough to look at his filmography and not wonder if Evans isn't just playing some amplified version of himself.
Not so, said Boyle, who cited a lack of opportunity — not skill — for the misperceptions about Evans' talent.
"The casting director [for 'Sunshine'] said, 'You should meet this guy, he's underestimated by people.' He came in the room [and was] superb. I cast him and that was it," the director recalled. "I hope he can get stuff that shows his talent 'cause he's really very special."
For Evans, "Sunshine" was that special opportunity, a chance to show a different side of himself while simultaneously working for one of his favorite directors: "Two birds with one stone," he said (see "Danny Boyle's Space Odyssey, By Kurt Loder" ).
"At the end of the day us actors are here to make good movies — that's what I love about this business. [But] if you don't have a good director you won't have a really good movie," Evans said. "So if you've got a good director inviting you to work for him, you jump at that opportunity. And that's what Danny offered me."
Working for Boyle offered benefits beyond making a good movie, however, strengthening Evans' belief that in order to be a successful actor you have to "check your ego at the door," he said.
"A lot of times as an actor you are experimenting, you're trying things and you need an anchor. If you're trying something and you're getting off the path, you need your director to come in and reel you in. [You need to tell him,] 'I trust your internal barometer of what's good and what's bad and it's going to protect me,' " Evans revealed of his process. "Danny could have said, 'Try the next take in Spanish,' and I would have said, 'All right.' "
Johnny Storm no more (at least until producers call for a threequel), Evans will soon take that lesson into more eclectic fare, from playing the dimwitted lead in "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond," an adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play, to a cop alongside Forest Whitaker in James Ellroy's "The Night Watchmen" to an Iraq War veteran in "Under the Blue Sky."
It's a mix that pleases Evans, he said, smiling broadly. "I like to go see movies that are dramatic. I like to get internal when I watch films. I like to cry when I watch movies. I like being emotional," he divulged. "The truth is, I like acting, period."
Do yourself a favor — look closer.

What a lovely surprise to find this in your pf tonight . I won't divulge what the face was all about.

Thanks everyone!
This was shot at ISO 25,600, 1/8th sec, F2.8, handheld @ 200mm zoom on the 'ole 70-200 with VR on. Technique plays a big part - stand side on to the subject so that the camera is held flat against your face, a deep breath in, breathe out slowly whilst relaxing, hand at the end of the lense hood, elbow against chest, right arm also against side, wait for image stabilisation and ever so gently depress the shutter button in between heartbeats. Sort of a Zen moment
I shot 15 frames, 5 were camera shake blurred, 4 had someone in the way, 5 had subject movement, one was pin sharp.
Amazingly, the camera would focus on things I could hardly see! As long as there was an edge for it to find, it would work.
Luminance noise reduction 49% in Lightroom, underexposed by 3 stops & sharpened.
Worth it I think

Takeyuki "Gaku" Tsuda, University of California – San Diego
Abstract: Based on a close content analysis of 16 Japanese television programs and shows (recorded on videotape) that featured the Japanese-Brazilians and aired in the early 1990s,5 I argue that Japanese media coverage of nikkeijin migrants can become a catalyst for change to a limited extent by challenging some engrained Japanese ethnic perceptions and providing self-reflexive criticism of Japanese society while at the same time rather unreflexively and implicitly reinforcing these traditional attitudes and prejudices. For instance, although the programs and shows I examined made a serious effort to discredit some ethnic prejudices about nikkeijin migrants, it also included material that perpetuated them. Likewise, while Japanese-Brazilian immigrants are shown disrupting the traditional Japanese cultural values of filial piety and family obligation for instrumental, economic purposes, they are also portrayed as eventually reaffirming such traditional beliefs in their behavior and decisions.

|An, Soon-Il, Hsieh, William W., Jin, Fei-Fei. 2005. Nonlinear Analysis of the ENSO Cycle and Its Interdecadal Changes. Journal of Climate. 18(16) 3229-3239. dx.doi.org/10.1175/JCLI3466.1
|The nonlinear principal component analysis (NLPCA), via a neural network approach, was applied to thermocline anomalies in the tropical Pacific. While the tropical sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies had been nonlinearly mapped by the NLPCA mode 1 onto an open curve in the data space, the thermocline anomalies were mapped to a closed curve, suggesting that ENSO is a cyclic phenomenon. The NLPCA mode 1 of the thermocline anomalies reveals the nonlinear evolution of the ENSO cycle with much asymmetry for the different phases: The weak heat accumulation in the whole equatorial Pacific is followed by the strong El Niño, and the subsequent strong drain of equatorial heat content toward the off-equatorial region precedes a weak La Niña. This asymmetric ENSO evolution implies that the nonlinear instability enhances the growth of El Niño, but dwarfs the growth of La Niña. The nonlinear ENSO cycle was found to have changed since the late 1970s. For the pre-1980s the ENSO cycle associated with the thermocline is less asymmetrical than that during the post-1980s, indicating that the nonlinearity of the ENSO cycle has become stronger since the late 1970S.

I thought the cake was alright. The recipe worked well and the flavors went well together, but I didn't think the overall result was outstanding. There were others who really liked it, but I would probably not make this one again.flag if inappropriate
It took so long to do and it was awful. Thanksgiving dessert was not a hit. I was embarressed! No one ate it!flag if inappropriate
I made this cheesecake for our Thanksgiving meal. It was absolutely delicious, I received lots of comments. Great blend of flavors and it made a beautiful presentation. I will definitely make it again at Christmas. Happy Holidays!flag if inappropriate
This cheesecake is AWESOME! The key is making sure the sweet potatoes are soft enough so there are no lumps. I had to cook it longer than the recipe stated. I placed them in the food processor & still had to pick out a few pieces that didn't mush. Raw sweet potatoes are very hard to cut into small pieces. Overall, I would make this again. Everyone loved it! Happy Cooking!flag if inappropriate
This was the best. The only downside for me was that I didn't have a food processor(my mom didn't have one!!!) so my cheesecake wasn't as smooth as it should have been but otherwise it was sooo good! I can't wait to make it again for Christmas!flag if inappropriate
Unusual combination of flavors, but worth it. I'm a sweet potato fan and always looking for new uses and this was a hit - even for those who disliked sweet potatoes.flag if inappropriate
Creamy,rich, nice touch of orange-a new thanksgiving tradition!flag if inappropriate
Wow we really thought this cheesecake was terific. I made it for our Thanksgiving dessert and can't wait to make it for a gathering over Christmas.flag if inappropriate

I made this right before Thanksgiving as a treat for the office. Since then I have made 8 for all in the office. What a hit. Excellent combination of ingredients and easy to prepare.flag if inappropriate

The options you choose when you take out your Pension Annuity will affect the amount of pension income you'll get. Generally, the more options you add, the lower your income in retirement will be. You can get a personal illustration, which shows the difference the various options would make to your pension income.
- Level income. You'll receive an income, which will be paid at the same level for the rest of your life.
- Escalating income. Your pension will increase by a fixed percentage each year for the rest of your life.
- Inflation-proof income. Your pension will increase in line with inflation (as measured by the Retail Prices Index) each year for the rest of your life.
- Dependant's pension. You can choose a dependant to continue to receive an income after you die and also choose whether this is paid at the same level as your pension income or lower.
- Guaranteed period. Aviva offers a minimum one year guarantee period as standard, however you can choose a longer guarantee period of up to 30 years. If you die after 90 days but within your guarantee period, we will continue to make annuity payments to your estate or dependants until the end of that period. However, this does not apply if your annuity was purchased for you by the trustees of a defined benefit pension scheme.
- Value Protection. Aviva offers value protection as standard for the first 90 days of your plan. If you die within this period a lump sum will be payable to your estate. This will be equal to the fund value used to buy your annuity, less any payments already made including tax-free cash and adviser charge.
You can choose for Value Protection to continue once the first 90 days have come to an end. This means that you can protect up to 100 percent of the fund value used to buy your annuity for either the rest of your life, or for a specified term which begins at the start of your plan.
- Payment options. Your income can be paid monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly, either:
- In advance. This means that payment of your pension income will be from the start date.
- In arrears. This means that payment will be one month, quarter, half-year or year after the start date, depending on your chosen payment frequency.
- Or by chosen start date. If you decide to be paid monthly, you can choose to have your pension income paid on a certain date each month - the first payment must be within one month of the start date of the plan.

S&P 500 June bull theme intact, but threat of a correction
• We stated in our last report that "the early June risks remains to a next extension target at 1938.0" and with that target already hit on Thursday, we aim still higher into mid-June, into next week.
• For Friday, however, we do see risk of a consolidation given intraday and short-term bullish momentum fatigue, for a potential modest setback to minor supports at 1929.5 and maybe 1925/24, with better foundations seen at 1921.0 and 1916.0.
• Into mid-June, however, we now see risk to Fibo targets at 1970.0 and 1978.0, then little to 1996.0.
• Below 1921.0 eases bull risks; through 1916.0 signals a neutral tone, only shifting negative below 1913.75.

• We had looked for a consolidation theme through month-end, with risk of a more bullish tone expect to resurface into May.
• However, the strong Tuesday rally through 3125 has allowed for a push through the recent recovery high at 3150, to place higher targets in the crosshairs.
• Into early May (maybe today), we still see the bias for a challenge to the 3175 cycle high and key long-term retrace target at 3185.

Aqua Hotel
Rue de Stassart 43, Brussels, Belgium, 1050

Expert review of Aqua Hotel
The 97-room Aqua Hotel has been building a good reputation since it opened in April 2010: it doesn't go overboard on the extras, so it can offer comfortable rooms at very competitive prices. Several people who were booked in here for business trips have told me they'd return for leisure.
Located on a seedy looking, but quiet, side street; a three-minute amble from Porte de Namur metro station. It's poorly lit at night, so take care.
On the whole, rooms are small but include a mini-bar, safety deposit box, hairdryer, air-conditioning, and flat-screen TV. The built-in wardrobes are very narrow; however, the beds are very comfortable. The 'wet room' bathrooms feature a free-standing sink and toilet; the majority of rooms only have showers, so ask if you'd like a bath — which, incidentally, are nice and deep. There are eight rooms with connecting doors that can be used by families. Only cable internet is available in the rooms.
Check availability and compare prices for Aqua Hotel
The hotel's pièce de la résistance is an enormous blue sculpture by Arne Quinze, a Belgian-born conceptual artist, which snakes its way throughout the architecture of the building. Entitled the 'Blue Wave', it took a year to construct and is made entirely of wood. Another example of Quinze's work can be seen at Kwint restaurant.
Free WiFi is only available in the lobby and the meeting room (where you can glimpse the sculpture through the ceiling).
Cold continental buffet breakfast (included in the price; 7am—10.30am Monday—Sunday) is taken in the basement at the root of the sculpture.
There's a fitness room, meeting room and an internet corner with a printer.
The reception staff were a bit dour when I visited.
Check availability and compare prices for Aqua Hotel
The majority of their clients are businesspeople, but in my opinion this dynamic hotel and its convenient location make it a great accommodation option for a city break.
During the week prices are kept high to pluck the euros from the pockets of their business clientele, but at the weekend rates drop by about 70 euros.

Researchers in the Biometric Technologies Laboratory at the University of Calgary have developed a way for security systems to combine different biometric measurementssuch as eye colour, face shape or fingerprintsand create a learning system that simulates the brain in making decisions about information from different sources.
Marina Gavrilova, the founding head of the labamong the first in the research community to introduce and study neural network based models for information fusionsays they have developed a biometric security system that simulates learning patterns and cognitive processes of the brain.
Biometric information is becoming more common in our daily lives, being incorporated in drivers' licenses, passports and other forms of identification. Gavrilova says the work in her lab is not only pioneering the intelligent decision-making methodology for human recognition but is also important for maintaining security in virtual worlds and avatar recognition.
"Our goal is to improve accuracy and as a result improve the recognition process," says Gavrilova, a professor in the Faculty of Science. "We looked at it not just as a mathematical algorithm, but as an intelligent decision making process and the way a person will make a decision."
The algorithm can learn new biometric patterns and associate data from different data sets, allowing system to combine information, such as fingerprint, voice, gait or facial features, instead of relying on a single set of measurements.
The key is in the ability to combine features from multiple sources of information, prioritise them by identifying more important/prevalent features to learn and adapt the decision-making to changing conditions such as bad quality data samples, sensor errors or an absence of one of the biometrics.
"It's a kind of artificial intelligence application that can learn new things, patterns and features," Gavrilova says. With this new mult

His nurse is very slow in getting back to me when I called and left message,
Dr. Manning did both of my total knee replacements, he is just wonderful, his Nurse Susan is great, my surgeries went just wonderful, I was up and about in less than a month, thank you Dr. for giving me a better quality of life. If I had to do it all over again I would do it in a heart beat. I recommend the surgery to any body, my body was riddled with pain, now I can walk without pain, anyone that need this surgery by all means do it.
David is overall impressive ! Excellent medical/technical skills (ortho), 'tells it as it is', superb communicator and most caring.
I could not be more satisfied with both the physical result of my recent hip replacement and the treatment that I received from Dr. Manning and his staff. Dr. Manning is extremely honest and professional; most importantly, he is a highly skilled surgeon. Less than four weeks after my surgery, I am walking normally and comfortably without even a cane. I have a very small anterior incision that looks like the work of a plastic surgeon. I was treated with compassion, courtesy, and respect. I am grateful and happy, and highly recommend this practice.
I had a total hip replacement done by Dr. Manning in 2012. Surgery itself went well but was less impressed with aftercare and follow up. I had complication after surgery that included pain and numbness down leg to the knee. New symptoms not present before surgery. I was told by Dr. Manning it was my IT Band and that physical therapy would improve symptoms. Other than x ray of hip joint itself, no imaging or testing was done after surgery even though symptoms were unimproved at each follow up visit. I was very clear, explaining pain and symptoms, just fell on deaf ears. Went to physical therapy for 5 months, no improvement and was still in significant amount of pain. My feeling in discussing this with Dr. Manning was that he was defensive and offended, thinking I was blaming surgery. I wasn't blaming surgery, just didn't want to be in pain. Eventually he labeled me a drug seeker, thinking my complaints were a ploy to continue pain medication. I have had no history of this, and was very offended by the accusations. I followed up with a pain clinic that did full history etc, and agreed there was no indication of being a drug abuser, and started treating me for my pain. I continued with physical therapy for better part of a year, and I went for second opinion by another ortho doc who actually listened to my complaints. He referred me to a neurosurgeon, and through testing found I had a collapsed disc, L5 S1, that was causing my pain and numbness down my leg. The hip replacement aggravated a prexisting back injury. Not the fault of Dr. Manning by any means, but a thorough, compassionate doctor listens to the patient, and doesn't let his bruised ego affect his level of care. It's been over a year since hip was replaced, and I'm scheduled for disc fusion surgery this month. That's a long time to suffer in pain, be accused of being a drug abuser, and get the run around. Should have been handled differently, and I shouldn't have had to deal with this for so long. I'm certain Dr. Manning is a good surgeon, but it takes a lot more than that to be a good doctor.
I was referred to him by my GP for hip replacement surgery. I waited at least 6 weeks for the appointment. The Dr didn't show, and instead of rescheduling, they tried to substitute a nurse practitioner. They lost my x-rays and wanted me to go for new ones. I think the office staff was recruited from the DMV.
Dr. Manning performed my knee replacement surgery 10 months ago. He also performed my hip replacement and pelvic reconstruction at University of Chicago. I can't thank him enough for the ability to walk and use stairs again! His professionalism and bedside manner make him a top surgeon in my opinion. As other positive reviews before me, Dr. Manning was precise and right on target with everything he told me would happen along the way of both surgeries. I would and do highly recommend anyone needing replacement surgey to talk to Dr. Manning.
Dr, Manning's care displayed an unprofessional condescending attitude, a wrong diagnosis resulting in a (6) month delay before ordering the proper tests, to provide me with an accurate diagnosis; which required a more timely surgery. His inappropriate and untimely communications was offensive and insulting. Worst of all, when given the opportunity to discuss the status of my experience with him directly - he assumed NO responsibility for "in my opinion" his negligence in providing me with proper care. Despite being referred by the scheduling staff as an Orthopedic "knee specialist", he informed me (6) six months after the fact, that he "doesn't do Arthroscopic Knee Surgery - he only performs knee and hip replacement surgeries"... without a single word of remorse or an apology for his complete failure to perform his most basic level or treatment or care.
Dr. Manning did a great job with my hip replacement. From the very first office visit to the very last, he never once rushed my wife and I and his time together to end it short. He answered our questions before we could even asked them. I felt he had made sure all our questions were answered before he walked out the door. He promised me I would play hockey again and he delivered that. One year after my hip replacement I was back playing hockey, the only thing that would make me feel better is playing with him just so can see the smile on my face as I blow his doors of on the ice. I recommend him to who ever I talk to about hip replacement. Thanks again Dr. Manning for keeping me active like the 40 year old I am, and not the 80 year old I felt like. Dale Woltman
A total knee replacement and the highest my pain level was a 3-4. Amazing doctor. It hurt more to have the staples removed by the nurse.
Dr. Manning is one of those rare physicians who take the time to discuss procedures, after surgery care, and patient concerns. When he is with you, he gives 100%, never makes you feel rushed, gives helpful advice and has an excellent bedside manner. His skills are amazing. With my first knee replacement 10 years ago, I used another colleague at the University of Chicago who is no longer doing surgery. Dr, Manning was recommended by that doctors office. It was a great referral, the surgery on my other knee this past January 2012 was amazing. Much less pain, quicker healing and I was mobile much faster. (I'm sure some of that was due to advancements in the last ten years for knee replacement surgery.) One of the reviewers sited his nurse as being useless. That was not my experience; Jan was helpful, efficient, answered all my questions and was available to talk to the home health nurse after surgery every time she called.I would go back to Dr. Manning in a heartbeat. He has just moved to Northwestern Hospital and while that isn't as convenient for me, I will certainly follow him there for future follow-ups and any other necessary orthopedic surgery.
Dr. Manning performed both my hip resurfacing surgeries. The first surgery was done approximately 2 years prior, and I am 4 weeks a long after the 2nd surgery. Dr. Manning is a great surgeon, as well as a human being. You can tell that he and his team care. I highly recommend Dr. Manning.
Assistant VanderMollen useless, very uncorporative, very lax in communicating with a patient, no empathy, no help what so ever after the surgery. Would not recommend Dr. because of her.
Dr. Manning is very professional and also takes time to answer any questions you have. He is the best in his field.
Dr. Manning is a very good doctor. My husband is a patient of his and we have heard so many great things about him. My husband had knee replacement four years ago and Dr. Manning had to do a revision of his left knee due to avascular necrosis. He is an excellent surgeon and we are blessed to have him. We would defitnely recommend him as a doctor to anyone we know. Thank you Dr. Manning you are better than my husbands previous doctor in Springfield.

'99 tornadoes taught lessons, Oklahoma weather experts say
NORMAN — The historic tornado outbreak that swept through Oklahoma 10 years ago Sunday taught emergency management directors and meteorologists the same lesson: Warn the public loud, often, and in as many ways possible.
Public safety officials, weather forecasters and researchers, television meteorologists and others shared their perspectives on the deadly storms Friday at the May 3 Tornado Outbreak 10th Anniversary Event at the National Weather Center. The outbreak of tornadoes — one of which peaked with wind speeds over 300 mph — left 44 people dead and destroyed more than 2,700 houses and apartments, and 164 businesses. Most of the toll was in Oklahoma and Cleveland counties. Moore Emergency Manager Gayland Kitch said his city and others have ratcheted up storm awareness since then. Moore had 12 outdoor sirens 10 years ago. Now it has 33, with three more of them on the way. Warning radios are becoming more common, and cities are using social networking and text messaging more to alert the public of severe weather. "There is no one single means of warning that's going to reach everybody," Kitch said. Television meteorologists also shared how severe weather is covered now compared with 1999.
What's ahead?Survivor to sign books Lt. Gov. Jari Askins will sponsor a book signing Monday to mark the pre-release of Carolyn Stager's book, "Twist of Faith." Stager survived an F-5 tornado in 1999 that caused extensive damage in central Oklahoma. Stager is executive director of the Oklahoma Municipal League. The book signing is set for 4 to 6 p.m. on the fourth-floor rotunda.

How to Make the Perfect First Impression
Seven seconds. That's how long it takes to make a first impression, according to researchers at New York University. And in that time, a person can make up to 11 initial judgments about you—enough information to decide whether he or she likes you or not. The difference between being well received or walked out on is combining a positive vibe with knowing what to say, so you can give an accurate portrayal of who you are and why people should like you.
It's easy to write off the importance of that first encounter. But consider this: That first impression, whatever it is, may be a label that's affixed to you for the rest of your life, whenever you see these people.
So, our job is to make sure you don't dig yourself a hole you can't get out of.

Site Page Views User Information : The age of the domain shows how long it has been since the name was registered by its current owner.
This information is useful in giving an idea of how well a site has been running and has had the time to build a reputation.
With commercial websites, longer domain ages would indicate that they have been generating enough profit to continue running, hence proving its commercial viability.
Older domains usually have been crawled a higher number of times by search engine crawlers and other bots.
Site Ping Time Comment : This is the time to get a reply from the server that's hosting the website measured by the time it takes for a packet of data to travel to the server and back.
Longer ping times indicate that the server is located further away in terms of hops, which are transit nodes, and usually corresponds to its physical distance from the pinging computer.
However many websites have caches (or copies) across various global locations that can result in shorter ping times.
A shorter ping time is one of the factors of a website's responsiveness.

Everyone expects some delays with a junior miner moving forward. But this situation with GWM is inexcusable for shareholders. I even wonder if this last episode of incompetence involved lying to shareholders. This is a valid question and merits discussion and an explanation from the company. Multiple times the company in published reports and in personal communications indicated to shareholders that the PEA would be forthcoming in January--most recently in an Email to a shareholder who specifically asked about that timing. Shareholders planned accordingly in positioning based on those assuring reports. And, yet again, the company has bamboozled the shareholders still again, leading to yet another drop in share price and still another delay. Such contempt from the company for shareholders! Just how stupid do they think we are? You mean that JUST YESTERDAY, the day before the deadline for release of the PEA in January, the company suddenly realized that it would take up to ANOTHER TWO MONTHS to complete a PEA? I don't think so--they had to have known this for many weeks. It seems obvious that the company is not informing the shareholders or the general market IN A TIMELY WAY RE. MATERIAL INFORMATION! Am I wrong, or is such a timely reporting of such material information a fiduciary responsibility? Seems to me that it is past due for shareholders to form a shareholders rights group, just like Lynas shareholders did when they were being jerked around by their own incompetent management. Please ignore any posting by the many mentally ill bashers who now populate this board re. any of this.

Author's Note: Usually I write a message about how I'm glad you guys stuck with me until the end of the road, but considering I finished this in eight days, I suppose it wasn't a very long road. Despite that, I appreciate every single review I've gotten for this story. I admire all of those who stuck with this despite the cliche and despite being an unorthodox pairing in GA. I love all of the kind words and the funny reactions like the different emoticons I received from pwenie most of all. I adore the assumptions and truthfully, you guys remind me why I've been writing on GAFFN for so long. So as my last new chaptered story, I want to thank all of you readers and reviewers for taking the time to read the words stuck in my throat. I hope you enjoyed reading just as much as I enjoyed writing (:
House of Cards
Chapter 10: All Bets are Off
There are days he reflects on his life and wonders if he's had a good run.
This is where he finds himself when there are two knocks on the door. It's late, or early, and after finding the perfect nook in his couch, he wonders if getting the door is worth it. It's probably a drunken girl at the wrong door again.
There's silence for a long stretch of time and just when he begins to think he made the right choice, there are two more, succinct too perfect knocks and it makes him sit up curiously.
When the curiosity gets the best of him, he stands up and opens it.
"You're not a drunk girl."
And there she is, exactly as he left her, without a hair out of place.
He doesn't expect it in the least.
"Tonouchi." She lifts her chin up almost haughtily. "How are you?"
He laughs, half-surprised and half-confused to all hell. What is she doing here? The last he'd heard, she was across the continent.
Baffled, he rubs his neck. "Uh, good? Not that I'm complaining about having a beautiful girl at my door, but what the hell are you doing here, Shizune?"
She purses her lips and does something very close to hand-wringing for Shizune Yamanouchi before she says, in that business-like, proper way of hers: "Hajime told me you found a girl you like." Her voice is controlled and half-sincere. "Congratulations."
Those words immediately trigger the 'women-don't-mean-what-they-say-when' part of his brain and he straightens instinctively. He doesn't mean to stare, but Shizune Yamanouchi has purposefully sought him out and damn, despite the year, she looks familiar and still goddamn sexy.
He tries, far harder than he should, to put the thought out of his mind to focus on the mind-boggling fact that she was here. Here.
"Shizune," the hope is forced down his throat, "—why are you really here?"
She looks down before he sees her bite the inside of her cheek.
It shouldn't have looked so cute.
She's stone-faced the next moment he blinks and looks ready to leave, and because he knows her, knows how difficult this must have been, he steps away from the doorway to make room for her to come in.
She looks like she's about to refuse until he takes the arm lying uselessly at her side and tugs her gently towards him. "It's two o'clock in the morning and you're wandering around Tokyo because you happened to be in the area?"
He looks down at her and all of his thoughts fly out of the window except one, just one.
He kisses her, then, like he should have whenever the thought came to his mind. It's just a brush of lips, a hello of sorts, but one that he wants to give her everyday. "I did find a girl I like," a chuckle escapes him. "It'll always be you."
This close, Tono finally sees the response he's been waiting for.
…and the rest is still unwritten…

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
