Almost exactly four years ago, director/actor Mel Gibson was pulled over by a cop in L.A. on suspicion of driving while three sheets to the wind, an ancient nautical term for being drunk as a skunk.
Mad Mel let loose a memorable, obscene tirade almost as memorable and obscene as his taped conversations with former lover Oksana Grigorieva. Back in 2006, however, the object of his disaffection was not slutty behavior on the part of his former lover but the militaristic behavior on the part of an entire people, Jews.Â
"Jews are responsible for all the war in the world," he allegedly said to a police officer among other F-word-laced, no doubt slurred comments.Â
Gibson subsequently apologized profusely and, if not forgiven, was dismissed as yet another anti-Semite.
It must have something to do with the weather this time of year out on the Left Coast or due to something in the water supplied by the L.A. Department of Water and Power but another Hollywood type has just ripped those same people.
This time it was a liberal darling, none other than screen writer/director/iconoclast Oliver Stone,  a man who has devoted much of his career to puncturing holes in American beliefs and values. Stone went much further in ripping Jews than Gibson ever dreamed of doing in his frank remarks to the Sunday London Times. Among his gems:
. "The Jewish domination of the media. There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f***** up United States foreign policy for years."Â
. "Hitler was a Frankenstein but there was also a Dr Frankenstein. German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support . . ."
. "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than [to] the Jewish people, 25 or 30 [million killed]."
.  In a quote from earlier this year: Hitler was "an easy scapegoat:" (http://tiny.cc/zit6z)
Stone may also have imbibed a few too many adult beverages since he belittled the import of the Holocaust but had kind words to say about Iran and Iran's despot, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chavez.
Needless to say, that media which Stone alleged was dominated by Jews rose up as one to condemn his remarks. Chief among them was the reaction of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League.Â
The ADL's National Director Abraham Foxman tore into Stone: "Oliver Stone has once again shown his conspiratorial colors with his comments about 'Jewish domination of the media' and control over U.S. foreign policy. His words conjure up some of the most stereotypical and conspiratorial notions of undue Jewish power and influence.
"The myth of Jewish control is an old stereotype that persists to this day. Stone uses it in a particularly egregious fashion by suggesting that Hitler has gotten an unfair shake because of Jewish influence.
"This is the most absurd kind of analysis and shows the extent to which Oliver Stone is willing to propound his anti-Semitic and conspiratorial views."
Oliver Stone soon came to his senses, maybe when he sobered up, maybe realizing that he had bitten the media hand that feeds him, maybe coming to grips with who butters his toast. He issued an apology that was so profound it made Mad Mel's seem like another anti-Semitic attack.
He effectively denounced and contradicted his own comments in his abject apology.
"I made a clumsy association about the Holocaust, for which I am sorry and I regret," Stone said.  He continued, "Jews obviously do not control media or any other industry. The fact that the Holocaust is still a very important, vivid and current matter today is, in fact, a great credit to the very hard work of a broad coalition of people committed to the remembrance of this atrocity–and it was an atrocity:" http://tiny.cc/w4knj
Well done, Ollie! You either proved yourself a fool in your original sentiments or confirmed that you're a gutless Hollywood lackey in your obsequious retraction.Â
Either way, anti-Semite or lackey, Oliver Stone isn't worth the flimsy paper his career is written on.Â

Obama Sandy Hook school shooting speech video: 'They had their entire lives ahead of them'
President Obama addressed the nation Friday afternoon, in the wake of a deadly school shooting in Connecticut.
Nearly 30 people are dead--- 20 of them children.
It happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, about 80 miles northeast of New York.
President Obama got emotional, as he spoke of the tragedy that cut young lives short:
"Beautiful little kids between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. (wipes tear and pauses) They had their entire lives ahead of them... birthdays, graduations, weddings, kids of their own. Among the fallen were also teachers, men and women who devoted their lives to helping our children fulfill their dreams."

The session catalog for Tech∙Ed 2008 US Developers Session Catalog is now available for your perusal. True, Tech∙Ed is months from now, but this is one of those events that necessitates months of prep work to deliver the caliber of event you've come to expect from Tech∙Ed.
As you may have heard, we're back in Orlando for this show and it's now split over two weeks (Developers and IT Professionals) in early June.
Registration is now open, so be sure to reserve your spot today and be a part of the experience. The early birds get the best choice of accommodations, so don't delay.
Interesting that not 2 days ago the selection committee told all the session submitters that they would need the rest of Feb. to go through all submissions and make final decisions. And yet amazingly here we are with a complete list of TechEd developer sessions.

In a Yale University library sits a map depicting the New World that predates the landing of Columbus by 60 years--if it isn't a fake. Although the lines on the so-called Vinland map are faded, those between scientists on the controversy are sharp. New salvos regarding its authenticity now come from both sides.
The parchment map, about 11 by 16 inches large, was uncovered in a Geneva bookshop in 1957 with no records of prior ownership. To the west of the inscriptions of Europe, Africa and the Far East are the words "a new land, extremely fertile and even having vines." The writing also says the crew of Leif Eriksson named the land "Vinland."

I credit my yoga path to the persistence of a friend that I now, and will always, hold dear to my heart. Thank you, Nelinda. In 2002, Nelinda introduced me to my first yoga class. I considered myself fairly athletic, but was amazed by the challenges I faced in that hour. I struggled to get through the standing series and by the time we hit the floor I felt as if I had been wrung out completely physically, mentally, and emotionally. I was eager to come back the next day, and the next, and the next. By day 4 into my practice I realized that the focus of my workout had morphed from being about how many calories I burned, what muscles I was working, into something much deeper. The world around me became easier; my child was better behaved, people I met seemed nicer, and small things that used to bother me, didn't. By getting rid of stress (that I didn't realize I even had) my life started to change. I quickly dove into a 6 day a week practice, sometimes attending 2 classes a day. In 2003, I became certified to teach by completing a 500 hour teacher training course. Teaching then became my full time job and my life's passion.
After a 6 month life-changing stay in Thailand, I returned to the States in 2007 looking for a new studio to call home. I found Uptown Yoga. There was something special about
the space: just walking in the doors made me feel at peace. At the time, the studio was a bit unkempt, the classes were small, and the overall energy was running low, but it had an undeniable pulse waiting to be revived.
In the spring of 2008, the studio would get just that: I became owner and poured my heart into bringing it back to life. I brought in teachers that share the same energy and passion for teaching as I do (and, oddly enough, they also all had a history with the space in one way or another). Together we laid the ground work for what the studio has become today, a beautiful community where everyone can feel comfortable exploring (or beginning) their yoga practice.
Yoga has helped me through some tough times and brought me to where I am today; a place of complete love and gratitude. I am thankful to have been brought to Uptown, and to
be surrounded by amazing teachers and wonderful students.

The larger portion of Administration Assistants in the United States are women. Median pay in this female-dominated area goes for around $14.71 per hour. Including potential for bonuses and profit sharing — peaking near $3K and $6K, respectively — total cash payment to Administration Assistants can bottom out near $23K or peak near $48K depending on individual performance. Location is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by tenure. The majority of Administration Assistants claim high levels of job satisfaction. Health benefits are not enjoyed by everyone in this line of work, and slightly less than a third lack any coverage at all. Medical benefits are reported by the larger part and dental coverage is claimed by just over a half. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Most companies use administrative assistants to keep their day-to-day operations working smoothly, and these assistants are responsible for a variety of tasks around an office. These duties can range from simple tasks, such as filing, copying, and typing, to more advanced activities such as scheduling meetings, making flight and travel reservations, payroll, insurance, and bill payment.Read More...
Most administrative assistants work in an office environment, and they must have a good familiarity with office machines, including computers. Typing is usually an essential duty, and an administrative assistant will be able to type at a rapid pace. Administrative assistants must be able to endure long periods of sitting, as they are usually seated at a desk for much of the day. A good administrative assistant is comfortable learning new skills and adapting to a wide variety of duties. Administrative assistants should be able to lift smaller loads of weight, because they may need to move boxes, files, and stacks of paper around the office. Multitasking and time management are essential skills, as many administrative assistants are required to be working on several projects at once. Some companies may require a college degree, although many times this is not necessary.
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Administration Assistants might see a strong upturn in salary after transitioning into upper-level roles such as Executive Assistant, a seemingly popular career choice. People currently working in the latter position report a noticeably higher median income of $45K per year. When Administration Assistants are ready for the next step in their careers, they often become Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistants or Senior Administrative Assistants. Those roles pay an additional $3K and $9K, respectively.
Survey results imply that Administration Assistants deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, facility with Contract Management, Human Resources, and Administration are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 22 percent, 21 percent, and 15 percent, respectively. Those educated in Data Entry tend to be well versed in Microsoft Excel. People who know Microsoft Office usually also know Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For many Administration Assistants, extensive experience does not lead to significantly more money. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $31K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $33K on average — a distinctly larger sum. For Administration Assistants, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $35K. Administration Assistants who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $38K.
For Administration Assistants, San Jose provides a pay rate that is 27 percent greater than the national average. Administration Assistants can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Washington (+27 percent), Portland (+24 percent), Chicago (+17 percent), and Los Angeles (+14 percent). The lowest-paying market is Philadelphia, which sits 10 percent below the national average. Workers in Phoenix and Miami earn salaries that trail the national average for those in this profession (4 percent less and 3 percent less, respectively).

GMAT Tip of the Week: Cause and Effect
Posted on on March 12, 2010
Welcome back to Hip Hop Month in the GMAT Tip of the Week corner. One of the most underrated themes that one can find in 90s rap lyrics is the often-laughable unintentional use of cause-and-effect that rappers draw in their songs, using "(be)cause" as a connector of ideas with hilarious results. Take a line from the refrain of one of Biggie's biggest hits, Big Poppa:

USCRI Launches the Thailand Committee for Refugees
The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) is pleased to announce that our field office in Thailand has become an independent national organization: the Thailand Committee for Refugees (TCR). The new entity will focus on building local support for refugee rights under the leadership of Veerawit Tianchainan, who has served as the Country Director of USCRI Thailand since 2009. USCRI will continue operating in Bangkok through a partnership with Asylum Access to advocate for refugee rights throughout Southeast Asia.
The USCRI Thailand office was established after the tsunami at the request of Burmese civil society groups that were overwhelmed by the disaster. As the crisis abated, USCRI set up an office in Bangkok to work with Thai officials on easing restrictions on refugees who are confined to camps and ineligible for work permits.
Five years later, USCRI Thailand's many accomplishments include establishing a Business, Labor, and Faith Coalition with more than 40 local organizations; holding an innovative business plan competition in conjunction with Siam University for collaborative income generation projects along the Thailand-Burma border; and piloting programs to allow refugee children to attend schools alongside Thai children. The office also conducted extensive research, finding that 60 percent of the Thai population did not know what a refugee is, and 79 percent felt that refugees should be allowed to work.
The 1951 United Nations (U.N.) Refugee Convention defines a refugee as a person outside his country of nationality with a well-founded fear of persecution who is unable to avail himself of the protection of his country. The Convention grants refugees the right to move freely, practice professions, obtain wage-earning employment, and access social services such as education and health care. In practice, however, host countries often restrict these rights. The Royal Thai Government has recently become a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council but is not currently a signatory to this international law.
The newly formed TCR hopes to move both public opinion and the Royal Thai Government to join the 147 countries who have signed this agreement. "It is time for Thailand to join the community of nations and sign the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention," declared Ms. Limón. "Thailand is a leader among nations in economic development, freedom of the press, and educational achievement. They should not lag behind on the treatment of refugees."
USCRI thanks our donors for their generous support over the years, including the U.S. State Department, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Open Society Institute, and the Oak Foundation. We encourage donors to consider the benefits of supporting locally-led national efforts, such as TCR, to protect and assist refugees in a manner consistent with the human rights due to all people.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Hannah Montana" may be history.
A Disney Channel executive says the popular show starring Miley
Cyrus is likely to shut down for good after filming its fourth
"You never know in this business ... but right now we're
scheduled to wrap after shooting this new batch of episodes,"
Senior Vice President of Programming Adam Bonnett told the New York
Post in its Friday edition.
A Disney spokeswoman confirmed his comments Friday but would not elaborate.
Production on season four is set to begin later this month,
Bonnett said. Those episodes will start airing in late spring and
continue through 2011.
Cyrus plays Miley Stewart, a high-school student who secretly
leads a double life as pop star Hannah Montana. The fourth season
will reflect the real-life struggle Cyrus is having about saying
goodbye to the character that made her famous, the Post reports.
The current season is set to conclude in March with "a big
one-hour event where we find out what Miley Stewart's decision is
going to be," Bonnett said. "It's one of the things she's been
wrestling with for months - whether it's time to make a decision to
continue being Hannah Montana or just be a regular, ordinary
"Hannah Montana" averages around 5 million viewers a week. A
rep for Cyrus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The company Tekion has announced that within a year they should have fuel cells commercially available for portable electronics. They have a working prototype running directly off of liquid formic acid, rather than gaseous H2. Formic acid is chemically similar to methanol, but is rather caustic stuff--many plants and animals use it as a stinging poison (ants, bees, and stinging nettle, to name a few)--but hopefully the safety issues can be addressed. Their formic acid fuel cell technology grew out of DARPA-funded research done at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
From the Tekion website:
"...engineers at our U.S. subsidiary, Renew Power, were able to integrate this fuel cell into a mobile phone utilizing the same space used for the battery. This was the worlds first fuel cell inside a mobile phone. These same engineers also made a direct formic acid fuel cell the size of a penny and demonstrated it powering a fan.... Unlike the hydrogen PEM system, these systems do not require bulky storage tanks, thus making the incorporation of micro fuel cell systems to power mobile electronic devices feasible.

Coast Guard:
Clarifying the Application of Guidance for Common Operational Picture Development Would Strengthen Program
GAO-13-321: Published: Apr 25, 2013. Publicly Released: May 28, 2013.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9610
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
The U.S. Coast Guard, a component of the Department of Homeland Security, has made progress in developing its Common Operational Picture (COP) by increasing the information in the COP and increasing user access to this information, but the Coast Guard has also faced challenges in developing COP-related systems. The Coast Guard has made progress by adding internal and external data sources that allow for better maritime domain awareness--the effective understanding of anything associated with the global maritime domain that could affect the United States. In addition, the COP has made information from these sources available to more COP users and decision makers throughout the Coast Guard. However, the Coast Guard has also experienced challenges in meeting the COP's goals and implementing systems to display and share COP information. For example, it experienced challenges when it deployed its Enterprise Geographic Information System (EGIS), a tool that did not meet user needs. The challenges Coast Guard personnel experienced with EGIS included system slowness and displays of inaccurate information. Our prior work found similar challenges with other Coast Guard COP-related systems not meeting intended objectives. For example, in February 2012, GAO reported that the intended information-sharing capabilities of the Coast Guard's WatchKeeper software, a major part of the $74 million Interagency Operations Center project, did not meet port partners' needs, in part, because the agency failed to determine these needs.
The Coast Guard has not followed its own information technology development guidance when developing new technology. A recent example occurred in 2012 when the agency did not follow its System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) guidance during its initial development of Coast Guard One View (CG1V), its new planned COP viewer. The SDLC requires documents to be completed during specific phases of product development. The Coast Guard, however, did not follow this process during the early development of CG1V. Specifically, we found in February 2013, 9 months after CG1V had entered into the SDLC that the Coast Guard either had not created certain required documents or had created them outside of the sequence prescribed by the SDLC. For example, the SDLC-required tailoring plan is to provide a clear and concise listing of SDLC process requirements throughout the entire system lifecycle, and facilitates the documentation of calculated deviations from standard SDLC activities, products, roles, and responsibilities from the outset of the project. Though the SDLC clearly states that the tailoring plan is a key first step in the SDLC, for CG1V it was not written until after documents required in the second phase were completed. Coast Guard officials stated that this late completion of the tailoring plan occurred because the Coast Guard's Chief Information Officer had allowed the project to start in the second phase of the SDLC because they believed it was a proven concept. Without key phase one documents, the Coast Guard may have dedicated resources without knowing project costs. In October 2012, Coast Guard officials acknowledged the importance of following the SDLC process and stated their intent to complete the SDLC-required documents. Clarifying the application of the SDLC to new technology development would better position the Coast Guard to maximize the usefulness of the COP.
Why GAO Did This Study
To facilitate its mission effectiveness and share maritime situational awareness, the Coast Guard developed its COP--a map-based information system shared among its commands. The COP displays vessels, information about those vessels, and the environment surrounding them on interactive digital maps. COP information is shared via computer networks throughout the Coast Guard to assist with operational decisions.
GAO was requested to evaluate the Coast Guard's development of COP-related systems. GAO assessed the extent to which the Coast Guard (1) has made progress in making information included in the COP available to users and any challenges it has encountered in implementing COP-related systems, and (2) followed its approved information technology development guidance when developing new technology.
GAO conducted site visits to six Coast Guard sector commands and five district command centers, based on geography to engage a broad range of COP users, analyzed Coast Guard policies and documents, and interviewed Coast Guard headquarters officials managing the COP's development and implementation.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the Coast Guard clarify the application of the SDLC for the development of future technology projects. DHS concurred with our recommendation.
For more information, contact Stephen L.Caldwell at (202) 512-9610 or email@example.com.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 2014, and in response to our recommendation, the U.S. Coast Guard provided GAO with a relevant section of its updated Coast Guard Acquisition Procedures (CGAP). We reviewed this submission and found that it reinforces that contracting officers are required to use the Coast Guard's System Development Life Cycle for all procurements of information technology. Because the Coast Guard issued this requirement we are closing the recommendation as implemented.
Recommendation: To better ensure that the Coast Guard follows the SDLC as required, the Commandant of the Coast Guard should direct the Coast Guard Chief Information Officer to issue guidance clarifying the application of the SDLC for the development of future projects.

Nivio raises $21 million
Nivio has secured $21 million in funding, hot on the heels of its U.S. launch at Macworld|iWorld. The investment will support nivio's mission to bring the magic back to computing, by expanding engineering efforts in nivio's Palo Alto, Calif., office and further roll-out of the cloud platform across nivio's operating regions in Europe, Middle East, India and Australia, the company said.
The round was completed by Videocon, a $5 billion conglomerate headquartered in India, and AEC Partners, a boutique private equity firm in Kansas City with specialized holdings in telecommunications and technology.
"We are extremely happy to bring two new passionate investors into our team," said Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of nivio. "We're also very proud that nivio has successfully delivered seven-times returns to some of our angels in this round. The support we've received from our angels over the last seven years has been unparalleled and without their support we would not have gotten this far."
Nivio is a startup providing access to desktop applications, data and a familiar Windows environment from anywhere in the world, on almost any device, Mac or PC, android tablet or iPad, notebook or netbook, according to the company.
The funding announcement comes at a time when the market for cloud desktop computing is rapidly expanding, the company said.
"I have been involved with nivio for three years and have seen it grow from a visionary idea to a breakthrough product that is now poised to make a major impact. In that time, the Company has assembled a world class management team that is leading its launch in the US, the world's most demanding computer market," said Adrian Cox, a nivio board member and previous executive vice president and CEO of Ask.com Europe.
Beyond nivio's product vision, the company has also stated a dedication to creating "a company that's both innovative and a sexy place to work in the coming years."
"With a strong and vibrant culture, the job of the CEO or Chief Wizard is fairly straight-forward: paint the universe, bring in a team of all stars and then just keep them shining bright," said nivio co-founder, Sachin Dev Duggal.

GOP leader revisits Electoral College plan
HARRISBURG — A Republican leader in the Legislature has renewed his politically charged effort to end the state's winner-take-all method of allocating its Electoral College votes for president.
The prospects for approval are unclear, as the measure has been blasted by Democrats as vote-rigging, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has not taken a position and the sponsor says the measure is not near the top of his list of priorities.
The bill introduced last week by Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi, R-Delaware, made a change from a similar proposal that died in the last legislative session. Pileggi's latest proposal would apportion 18 of the 20 votes based on the percentage of votes the candidates draw in the statewide popular vote. The other two votes would go to the overall winner.
In the last session, Pileggi sponsored a proposal that would have divided the votes according to who won the 18 congressional districts.
The approach would be unique among states, Pileggi spokesman Erik Arneson said. The two that do not employ a winner-take-all system, Maine and Nebraska, use the congressional district model.
"It's not a top 10, it's not a top 20 priority," Arneson said. "It's an issue we thought was worthy of additional debate and discussion."
Pennsylvania Democratic Party Chairman Jim Burn said the plan would not help Republicans in the state, which has voted for the Democrat in presidential elections six times in a row, going back to 1992. The 12 other sponsors are all Republicans.
"This is not a popular proposal," Burn said. "People see through it for what it really is, cheating to win, and many folks in the Republican Party do not want to go near this thing."
Democrat President Obama won all of the state's 20 electoral votes last year. He defeated Republican Mitt Romney in the state by more than 5 percentage points, or about 310,000 votes out of more than 5.7 million cast.
Third-party candidates who receive a threshold of votes, or about 6 percent, would collect at least one electoral vote.

Marco Rubio represents Florida in the U.S. Senate.
Last week, I voted "no" on the RESTORE Act amendment that came to the Senate floor. While its proponents have sold this as a Gulf Coast restoration bill, the truth is that it goes far beyond that.
When it was introduced last July, I proudly stood with all my Gulf state colleagues as a supporter. The original bill would ensure that at least 80 percent of fine money collected from BP for its oil spill would be dedicated to Gulf Coast restoration efforts. Even back then, I had some reservations about not dedicating 100 percent of the money to the Gulf ...

Five Oaks Golf and Country Club announced this week a special partnership alliance with Callaway Golf.
Five Oaks general manager Robert Kearney said the Lebanon club, as a Troon Golf managed property, has been able to leverage its association with Callaway so as to present any new member joining Five Oaks a Callaway gift certificate valued at $555.
According to Kearney, the gift certificate can be redeemed for any merchandise offered for sale by Callaway, including golf clubs, balls, bags and other related golf equipment and accessories.
An added plus for members at Five Oaks is that the agreement with Callaway extends also to them, Kearney said.
"If a member at Five Oaks refers someone for a new membership, that member also is awarded a $555 Callaway gift card," Kearney said.
Kearney said the promotion with Callaway is coupled with a special marketing strategy being introduced by Five Oaks that reduces the cost of acquiring a membership substantially and therefore makes a full golf membership "most affordable for individuals and families."
"With Callaway we are able to provide a great opportunity for a family or an individual to either start a new lifestyle activity or perhaps renew their passion for golf at truly one of the most beautiful golf settings in the region.
"Five Oaks offers 18-championship styled golf holes, oversized lush greens,
Zoysia grass fairways, a magnificent clubhouse and dining facility, a swim center, stunning views from one of the area's highest ridges, and an ongoing activity program focused in many ways on families," Kearney said.
Members at Five Oaks also receive the benefit to participate at any of Troon's 236 golf properties and resorts worldwide at special discount prices. Among the properties managed by Troon besides Five Oaks in Lebanon are Shark's Tooth in Destin, Fla.; Troon North Golf Club, Scottsdale, Ariz.; The Westin Mission Hills Golf Club, Spa and Resort, Rancho Mirage, Calif.; the Ocean Club, Paradise Island, Bahamas; Turnberry, Glasgow, Scotland; and other clubs throughout the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Central and South America.
Several of the courses managed by Troon have or currently hold major PGA events.
For more information about how to become a member at Five Oaks and take advantage of the special Callaway Golf gift certificate offer and recently initiated new member program, including all privileges associated with Troon Golf, visit five-oaks.com or call 615-444-2784.

Oklahoma wide receiver Kenny Stills has spent a lot of time on the sidelines this season. He missed Oklahoma's opener against Tulsa due to a suspension, and was held out of the Sooners win against Missouri on Saturday due to a concussion. In between he did play against Florida State and made the game-winning touchdown catch, so when he's been able to get on the field, he's been productive.
Which is bad news for Ball State, because Stills will be playing for Oklahoma this weekend. He also has a new plan of how to deal with injuries so that he doesn't have to miss any more time this year.
He's going to keep his mouth shut.
"I learned a lesson. I should keep my mouth shut. If I want to be in the game I shouldn't be saying anything. I want to be on the field at all costs," Stills joked on Tuesday.
Stills complained of headaches last week, which is what led Oklahoma doctors to hold him out of the game with the concussion despite Stills begging to play. He made the statement about keeping his mouth shut with a smile on his face, so hopefully he doesn't actually mean he'll hide injuries from the doctors in the future.
Though if we see him wandering aimlessly on the field during a game, I guess we'll know he wasn't.

$12.9M Penthouse Foreclosure at Santa Maria Hits the Market
Earlier this afternoon, a penthouse foreclosure at Santa Maria came onto the market with an asking price of $12.9M. It's a two story condo with 10,000 square feet of interior and has a rooftop terrace with a large hot tub.
Update: As I was writing this blog post, I received word that the penthouse has already gone under contract. Word is that the accepted offer price was $11M. Geez, that was fast!

Smells fishy. I haven't exactly noticed bidding wars for other penthouses around Miami. Others have been on the market for 2 or 3 years.
Man I just don't get it. For $11M I'd buy a sick house on the water. Shit, I'd spend half that and also buy a yacht to park outside of my sick house on the water. Then I'd save the rest to blow on fuel and high class escorts.
I guess I should assume that whoever bought this place already has of the aforementioned already.
wish i could live there! properties like these have absolutely no bearing on the condo market in south florida-they exist in their own little universe. 10,000 sq ft and rooftop terrace? you must be kidding. this is a one of a kind property. in this building you are competing with the nice sofi units.
Florida unemployment falls for first time in four years
South Florida Business Journal
For the first time since February 2006, Florida's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate has fallen. April unemployment slipped to 12 percent from March's revised rate of 12.3 percent.
This represents 1,113,000 jobless out of a labor force of 9,282,000, according to the Florida Agency for Workforce Innovation.
"While we recognize that it will take time to emerge from this recession, this decrease in the unemployment rate for the first time in four years coupled with a significant increase in jobs nationally and growth here in Florida are very positive signs," agency Director Cynthia R. Lorenzo said in a news release.
In Palm Beach County the unemployment rate fell to 11.4 percent from 12.2 percent a month earlier. The rate in Broward County fell to 9.9 percent in April from 10.6 percent in March. In Miami-Dade, it fell to 11.3 percent from 12 percent.
The county rates are not adjusted for seasonal changes.
Statewide, nonagricultural employment gained 15,500 jobs, month-over-month, but still saw a year-over-year loss of 117,900 jobs.
Nationwide, the April unemployment rate rose to 9.9 percent from 9.7 percent one year prior. Economists suggest the increase is typical as discouraged job seekers who stopped looking for work begin to re-enter the market.
In April, 805,000 people without jobs entered the national labor force to search for work.
In the meantime, Floridians' consumer confidence is also showing signs of improvement, with a six-point increase – to 77 in April from 71 in March out of an index of 100, according to the University of Florida's Bureau of Economic and Business Research.
The largest increase was in Floridians' perceptions of whether it is a good time to purchase big-ticket consumer items, which rose 14 points to 87. Consumers have a positive outlook on short- and long-term economic conditions, as well. Expectations of national economic conditions over the year rose 10 points to 80.

This property was truly unique and one of a kind. In my opinion the best Penthouse in the City of Miami.
Alejando has it right…this is THE premier PH in Miami…if you haven't been inside you wouldn't know, but at $11M it's pretty much at COST. From the 24′ high living room, to the 8′ slab yellow onyx flooring, the roodtop pool, etc, etc…it's a dream PH and I wouldn't doubt it if the original owner bought it back!
"Shit, I'd spend half that and also buy a yacht to park outside of my sick house on the water" – – – DJ
Now you're talking! Money well spent!
That was an ilegal action by the realtor who place it on the market for just 20 minutes. Who place it on the market was not a listing agent. Caixanova Bank never listed it with anyone.
This is a legal action that RAMB should take care of. We don't need unethical realtors doing this!
this is not a property for people with a job .The unemployment rate is not relevant .

Advice - Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong.
Many travellors entering Laos at Chiang Khong - Huey Xai will depart Chiang Mai on a direct bus to Chiang Khong.
Be warned...
If you choose a 'direct' or VIP bus to Chiang Khong from Chiang Mai (as a journey, its a good option), make sure you get the ticket seller to write "Thailand Immigration Office" as the destination point.
There is now a bit of a scam wherein the bus will only take passengers to a guest house near the edge of town. The passengers are somewhat stranded, and so rest on the kindly guest house operator to 'arrange' transport to the 'Thailand Immigration Office' (obviously at great expense).
So, if you choose the 'direct' or 'VIP' bus option, ensure you get the ticket seller to write on the ticket that the bus driver MUST take you to the 'Thailand Immigration Office' in Chiang Mai.

Sorry, I should have said the ferry ticket is 30baht, but with the 'compulsory' 10baht 'bag fee', the final ferry ticket price is 40baht.

never heard of any public buses stopping at the Chiang Khong immigration office.
buses from Chiangrai deposit passengers at the market at the south end of Chiang Khong, simply cos that's where the 'bus terminal' is. think the buses from Chiangmai & BKK terminate near an ESSO gas station just across the road from that market. from there, a 20 baht (maybe more now) samlor ride to the border crossing at the north end of town. scam-free.
also, thought the buses from Chiangmai Arcade bus station to Chiang Khong are run by Green Bus company (www.greenbusthailand.com), which issues computer printed tickets even for the ordinary rickety non-AC buses...nothing handwritten by ticket sellers. did you buy your ticket from the bus station or through an agent?

We are commenting on TWO DIFFERENT forms of bus travel.
You are commenting on the public bus system.
I was commenting on the private bus system.
The private bus system use Toyota 'commuter' buses (12 to 15 seat) which are air conditioned, and are booked through travel agencies. The bus also picks you up from your guest house (in Chiang Mai).
Because of the 'great recession', as well as the red/yellow 'turmoil' in Thailand, there are far fewer tourists wandering around the north. It appears that the private bus system is now charging very little more for the journey that it costs on the public system. Moreover, when you factor in time (5 hours), the small additional charge makes the private bus system worthwhile.
Your pic of the ferry boat fee shows 40baht for the 'ride' & a 10baht bag fee.
I went across on 6 April. When was your pic taken?

ic, that makes sense. the public bus system also has direct AC Chiangmai-Chiangkhong services, & VIP buses (although not on this particular route; they come with 26 spacious seats on what is usually a 40-seat bus).
those photos aren't mine, they're Captain Bob's photos taken back in August/Sept 2008. the Thai words says 'khon la 30 baht' (30 baht per person), while the English version appears to have a '4' written over the '3' (or the other way round).
someone's report from Feb 2009 on the transport from the GH to the Chiang Khong immigration provided as part of some agent's package:
wonder if it's the same GH you encountered...do you have the name of the GH?
#5 Posted: 21/4/2009 - 09:15
Regarding 'Captain Bob's' pic, maybe the very obvious reduction in tourism numbers has forced a slight reduction in ferry boat price. Who knows.
I looked at casam20's blog. Mmmmm!!!! I wish we could have secured slow boats that were that 'overpacked'. We went up the Nam Ou in much much more cramped conditions. Given the whingeing tenor of his/her blog, I get the feeling this person booked a tour company 'adventure of a lifetime' without doing the necessary research to determine that the world doesn't operate on American standards (thank goodness).
As for the GH, I didn't bother with the name, but it was up a street some 500m west of from the main road.

Is it possible to fly from Chaing Mai to Chaing Khong? If not, is the bus journey mountainous? Can't do windy mountain roads!!
#8 Posted: 7/8/2011 - 15:01
This info about being taken to the immigration office is nonsense (and old). You basically have two options for getting from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong: private minivan (usually operated by Namkong Travel who own the Namkong Guesthouse in central CK), or public bus from the Chiang Mai Arcade bus station (Best option is the "Green Bus" with non-AC buses at 06:30 and 13:00 for 231 baht or standard AC bus at 08:30 for 292 baht). None of the above are going to drop you at Thai Immigration. The vans go to Namkong GH and the buses go to the "station" on the southern edge of town which is 1.6 km from the passenger boat ramp.
^^EdSue there's no airport in Chiang Khong. The bus ride is hilly after you leave the Chiang Mai area for about an hour, then flattens out again until near Chiang Rai where buses usually then go via Phaya Mengrai or Thoeng and the road gets more windy and bumpy (but not hilly) up until Chiang Khong. Take the direct Green Bus at 830am it's the smoothest option. Row 3-4-5-6 in the middle is least bumpy.

updated 11:40 am EDT, Mon April 14, 2008
eMusic Passes 200m
Web-based music service eMusic today celebrated a milestone with its 200 millionth song download. The figure was reached approximately four and a half years after the store's November 2003 launch of its MP3-based subscription service but is touted as having been accomplished without the help of most major labels, relying chiefly on independents for its content. By comparison, Apple is known to have sold more than four billion songs since launching iTunes in April of 2003.
While a fraction the size of some larger stores, eMusic also claims to be growing at a much more accelerated rate than it has been in the past. The launch of Amazon MP3 has purportedly helped drive awareness of eMusic and is responsible for about 40 million of the company's total download statistics; since the September unveiling of its rival, eMusic has supplied roughly 7 million tracks per month.
The sales tally suggests a continued surge in sales of unprotected music, particularly for services that offer most if not all of their catalogs without DRM limits. While eMusic is one of the earliest such stores, Amazon has already reached second place among digital-only services despite higher per-song costs than eMusic and no current support for sales outside of the US. Its early success has largely been attributed to offering music from all four major labels without DRM.

Corbett ready for 2nd half as governor
HERSHEY — Gov. Tom Corbett compared this year's gubernatorial campaign with halftime during a football game on Saturday as he accepted the Republican State Committee's unanimous endorsement for a second four-year term.
"We're going to score and score and score in the second half," Corbett promised the party faithful, who cheered in the Hershey Lodge as rock music blared and hundreds of red, white and blue balloons were released from the ceiling high above.
In his speech, Corbett portrayed his first term as a combination of bitter medicine in the form of austerity measures that erased a multibillion-dollar budget shortfall he had inherited, and smart policies that have eliminated inheritance taxes on farmers and small businesses, reduced unemployment and pumped billions of dollars into highway and bridge projects.
"We came up with a game plan, and you don't change the game plan at halftime," he said.
Corbett responded to Democratic critics who blame his nearly $1 billion reduction in education spending in 2011 for the layoffs of thousands of local school employees. He reiterated that much of the spending was supported by federal stimulus money that expired at the end of that fiscal year.
"It was not coming back and they knew it," he said of the administration of predecessor Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat.
Eight Democrats are competing for their party's nomination to challenge Corbett in November.
Corbett, who is struggling to overcome weak job approval ratings and placate conservatives who complain that he is not sensitive to their concerns, said he viewed his election victory in 2010 as a mandate to make tough fiscal decisions and rein in unnecessary spending.
"That's exactly what you nominated me for and the people of Pennsylvania elected me to do. And I can tell you this, I kept my promise," he said.
Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley, who was endorsed for re-election, warned that this year's gubernatorial campaign will require "an extra special effort" and promised a strong grass-roots-based approach.
"Make no mistake, my friends, we are in a war. It is war of ideas. It is a war for truth. It is a war for the future of our commonwealth, and we need to build a corps of Corbett captains" to fight it, he said.

200 people have been without water in one Harlan County town for two days straight and off and on since Thanksgiving Day.
"We've had our problems but never this bad," said Obie York, a plant manager at Green Hills Water District in Bledsoe.
And more issues may be in the future for the Green Hills Water District.
"This is definitely the worst. It's been two days straight and off and on for the last week," said Christopher Sizemore, who lives in Bledsoe.
"We need to do something like make a discussion as a Green Hills Water System. Should we hold onto it, or should we turn it over to someone else?" said Ralph Turner, a board member at Green Hills Water District.
Budget problems, lawsuits, and off and on water outages have the water district in debt.
New board members are concerned about their finances causing more headaches for their customers.
"Not having water is like not having heat. It's a necessity. It's something that you have to have on the regular," said Sizemore.
A state of emergency was declared in Bledsoe and now Harlan County magistrates are helping out.
The Harlan County Fiscal Court is providing water for anyone in Bledsoe without any.
Filling up the main storage tank is the first step to getting customers the water they are paying for.
"I am very sorry. I apologize. I wish that we could better and help, and we are trying to do what we can do to give everybody water here in Bledsoe," said Turner.
Until then, board members say they are continuing to look for line breaks and leaks.
Officials say they hope to have the water running for their customers sometime Wednesday.

|Elevated interstitial fluid volume in soleus muscles unweighted by spaceflight or suspension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8282616 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Recent evidence by Kandarian et al. (J. Appl. Physiol. 71: 910-914, 1991) indicates that prolonged (28 days) unweighting of the rat soleus by hindlimb suspension results in a substantial increase in interstitial fluid volume (IFV), as defined by the inulin space. The lack of any significant difference in absolute IFV values between unweighted and control groups suggested that this elevated IFV was a consequence of muscle atrophy. Using young female rats, we directly tested this hypothesis by comparing the early responses of soleus muscle weight and IFV with unweighting by tail-cast suspension or actual exposure to microgravity during spaceflight. Significant differences from control were first observed after 3 days of suspension unweighting for soleus wet weight (-14%; P < 0.01) and IFV (+35%; P < 0.01) and increased further after 6 days (-32% and +53%, respectively; both P < 0.001). After 5.4 days of spaceflight, soleus wet weight was 38% less and IFV was 52% greater than control (both P < 0.001). A highly significant negative correlation between soleus wet weight and IFV for all groups was observed (r = -0.70, P < 0.001). These data indicate that elevated soleus IFV develops at an early time point during unweighting and that there is a direct relationship between the magnitude of this increase in IFV and the extent of muscle atrophy. This relationship also exists in soleus muscles unweighted by exposure to a microgravity environment.

Leave Mandates Would Cost Businesses Over $1 Billion Annually
During this Legislative Session, lawmakers in the House of Representatives considered two bills that would require employers to offer paid leave to workers.
HB 1313 would require employers with 5 or more employees to pay employees for 5, 7 or 9 days of sick leave per year, depending on the size of the company. This bill passed the House and will now be considered by the Senate.
HB 2238 would require employers with more than 24 employees to offer up to three weeks of paid vacation for employees that work an average of 20 hours per week. This bill did not survive the committee cut-off and is considered dead this session.
Although one of the bills is dead this session, it is instructive to understand how much these paid leave mandates would cost employers.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average cost to an employer for paid sick leave is 25 cents per hour per employee. The average cost for paid vacation is a steeper $1.02 per hour. Taken in isolation, one might think those numbers seem reasonable.
Lawmakers may think they're being generous by forcing employers to change personnel policies (after all, it doesn't cost public budgets a dime), and that it won't cost businesses too much, but looking at the numbers in aggregate, those seemingly negligible costs add up quickly.
There are 2,669,256 employees who work for companies with 5 or more employees in our state. Nationally, 39% of private-sector workers do not receive paid sick leave. So just over 1 million workers would benefit from the paid sick leave bill. Assuming those workers clock the national average of 1,700 hours per year, multiply by $.25 per hour, and the annual cost to employers in our state for paid sick leave would be a staggering $442 million.
There are 1,713,831 workers in Washington businesses with 25 or more employees. Nationally, 23% of private-sector workers do not receive paid vacation, so that would be approximately 394,181 Washington workers who might benefit from the paid vacation mandate. Assuming the national average of 1,700 hours worked per year, multiply by $1.02 per hour, and the cost to employers in our state for paid vacation leave would be a mind-boggling $684 million every year.
Taken together, that would be an increase in the cost of doing business in Washington State of more than $1.1 billion per year.
Of course, employers cannot simply absorb an extra $1.1 billion every year. They will be forced to shift costs back on to workers, eliminating non-mandated benefits (such as undesignated leave) and reducing hours, and to consumers, in the form of increased prices.
There is a reason only one other state, Connecticut, mandates paid sick leave, and why no state mandates paid vacation. It is because such mandates increase the cost of doing business. And most states are loath to increase costs on their job creators, especially when economies and employment are still lagging from the Great Recession.
Washington should be especially wary, as our new business start rate has declined while our failure rate continues to increase. In 2010, Washington ranked 9th in business starts and 11th in closures. In 2011 (the most recent year data is available), Washington slipped to 12th for new business starts and 7th for closures. So entrepreneurs are opening fewer businesses, and more of them are failing, as compared to other states.
Other states are doing a better job at fostering a positive business climate than Washington on the heels of the recession, as we are moving the wrong way in both rankings. Adding $1.1 billion per year in labor costs to our state's job creators is not the way to reverse this disturbing trend.

While promoting her Let's Move! initiative, Michelle Obama has done everything from get silly with school children to host Olympic themed events. The latest stop on the First Lady's press circuit is a guest appearance on NBC's The Biggest Loser show. Although the episode won't air until Tuesday, April 3, we spotted this picture from the taping. We're no experts here, but it appears that some serious yoga is happening, right?
M'Obama's downward dog moment (or, in this photograph: tree pose!) has motivated us to take a class this weekend and we hope you will, too. But first…let's shop. We found 10 pieces of yoga gear worth hitting the mats for—click through the slideshow to buy them right now.

News for the Campus Community
Small Tent, Big Issues
In her reflection during one of the tent tours she gave, sophomore Francesca McKenzie said, "We tend to not think about things here because we live in a bubble." But the theatre arts and environmental studies major went on to note that although students might say that they don't know what's going on, it would have been difficult for them to ignore the tent in the middle of campus and the signs proclaiming: "Take action. Educate yourself. Stop the genocide."
The whole experience helped promote a sense of solidarity with refugees, Smith said. "The mixture of doing the 1,000-calorie fast, hearing from people who have first-hand experience, hearing from people who are experts on the political situations and the religious situations, it makes for a holistic experience that I think has more of a chance of moving people toward action than just having words spewed out at them," he said. "If you can't get students off campus, it's great to somehow bring the outside world onto campus."

The Assessor Has The Forms You Want!
During our lives, we wonder many times "What can I do to solve my problem?" Although the assessor can't solve every problem out there, he is often able to help with many of the issues regarding residential property. For example, when the floods hit the Rutland Township area recently, many folks received the PTAX-327 "Application for the Natural Disaster Homestead Exemption" or the PTAX-245 "Disaster Area Application for Reassessment" form to help with the disaster.
But the assessor has other forms which may be of value to you:
1. Registration for Mobile Home Owners
2. Real Estate Assessment Complaint
3. Request for Duplicate Delinquent Property Tax Notice
4. Certification of Assessment Year 2013 Farmland Values
5. Senior Assessment Freeze (if family income is under $55,000 & taxpayer is 65 years old or older)
There may be other issues which concern you. If so, contact:
Assessor Bill Strong, Jr. email@example.com
Assessment Too High!
When a taxpayer considers filing a complaint on their assessment, the first step along the way is the assessor's office. This is to make sure that a clerical error wasn't made. The assessor will explain the things you may wish to include with your complaint:
a. assessment and pictures of three comparable properties
b. possibly, an appraisal
c. pictures indicating wear and tear on the home
d. brief explanation of the reason you are filing the complaint
e. recent purchase price
f. recent remodeling costs (labor will be included if it isn't already)
There may be other specific issues which you may wish to present at a hearing with the county Board of Review which are not covered above. If the issue cannot be resolved locally, the taxpayer can ask for a hearing with the Board of Review by calling 815-434-8231 or contacting:

Illustration by Bob AulYou got a heads-up a month ago when your huge dog chased my mom's 13-pound dog under a car and snagged it by the leg. But did you get the message? Nope. Your dog was off the leash again, crapping on your neighbor's lawn when it spotted my elderly mom walking her dog. Your killer hound was on her like she was made of steak. Here's an inventory of the damage: one freaked-out pet covered in slobber and one 75-year-old mom with a shattered upper arm, a knee requiring surgery, a dog bite to the hand, 25 stitches in the head and a twisted ankle.
You said you were sorry in a sort of perfunctory way, but then you don't get the pleasure of a plaster-cast vacation for the next three months. And don't forget the thrill of her new wheels: the wheelchair was delivered last week. I'm sure the adjustable hospital bed will be a blast.
Sorry yet?

Psychosocial determinants of fruit and vegetable intake in adult population: a systematic review
1 Research Group on Behaviour and Health, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada
2 Laboratoire de psychologie EA 3188, Université de Franche-Comté, France
3 Canada Research Chair on Behaviour and Health, Laval University, Quebec City, Canada
International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity 2010, 7:12 doi:10.1186/1479-5868-7-12Published: 2 February 2010
Accumulating evidence suggests that fruit and vegetable intake (FVI) plays a protective role against major diseases. Despite this protective role and the obesity pandemic context, populations in Western countries usually eat far less than five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. In order to increase the efficiency of interventions, they should be tailored to the most important determinants or mediators of FVI. The objective was to systematically review social cognitive theory-based studies of FVI and to identify its main psychosocial determinants.
Published papers were systematically sought using Current Contents (2007-2009) and Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, Proquest and Thesis, as well as Cinhal (1980-2009). Additional studies were identified by a manual search in the bibliographies. Search terms included fruit, vegetable, behaviour, intention, as well as names of specific theories. Only studies predicting FVI or intention to eat fruits and vegetables in the general population and using a social cognitive theory were included. Independent extraction of information was carried out by two persons using predefined data fields, including study quality criteria.
A total of 23 studies were identified and included, 15 studying only the determinants of FVI, seven studying the determinants of FVI and intention and one studying only the determinants of intention. All pooled analyses were based on random-effects models. The random-effect R2 observed for the prediction of FVI was 0.23 and it was 0.34 for the prediction of intention. Multicomponent theoretical frameworks and the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) were most often used. A number of methodological moderators influenced the efficacy of prediction of FVI. The most consistent variables predicting behaviour were habit, motivation and goals, beliefs about capabilities, knowledge and taste; those explaining intention were beliefs about capabilities, beliefs about consequences and perceived social influences.
Our results suggest that the TPB and social cognitive theory (SCT) are the preferable social cognitive theories to predict behaviour and TPB to explain intention. Efficacy of prediction was nonetheless negatively affected by methodological factors such as the study design and the quality of psychosocial and behavioural measures.
