Well so much for that: In Russia, St. Petersburg's first attempt at a state-sanctioned gay pride parade ended today after just 40 minutes when the group of 10 marchers were assaulted by an estimated 100 Orthodox Christian anti-gay demonstrators, who threw eggs and slurs their way.
Well, at least now, millions of gay russians don't have to preserve any artifacts or sites of these cultists; if they are going to force their religion on others no point preserving any of it. Respect has to work both ways and they have shown none – they don't even believe in freedom of religion. Christianists can be as bad as Islamists in violating other people's freedom of religion.
Christianity and islam – reason of homophobia.

|Campylobacter infection of commercial poultry.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10935269 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Campylobacter jejuni, a widespread food-borne pathogen is responsible for enteritis in the populations of both industrialised and developing nations and is acquired by consumption of contaminated water, milk and food products. Contaminated poultry meat is regarded as an important source of campylobacteriosis, with both commercial broiler and turkey growing flocks infected at two to three weeks of age by direct and indirect horizontal exposure. Non-chlorinated water is regarded as a vehicle of infection, followed by rapid intraflock dissemination. Intensification in the poultry industry has contributed to the increased prevalence rates on carcasses associated with increased stocking density and mechanized processing which are inherent to the high efficiency dictated by a competitive market. Currently, pre- and post-harvest control measures may ameliorate the problem of Campylobacter infection in consumers. Refrigerated storage and transport of red meat and poultry, appropriate handling and food preparation, and thorough cooking reduce the possibility of food-borne infection. In view of the world-wide distribution of C. jejuni infection and the multiplicity of sources, including non-pasteurised milk and contaminated water, it is inappropriate to impose trade restrictions on poultry meat based on the detection of campylobacters.

Britney Spears is banned from the exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel because she's too much trouble, it's claimed.
The hotel used to be a popular stop off point for the singer and her paparazzi herd during her late night
jaunts around L.A. but staff have had it with the Toxic mom, according to insiders.
A hotel source tells PageSix.com that the staff has "specific instructions to turn her away. People come here to get away from that. She brings too much 'trouble' with her."
The source reveals that hotel staff had to attend a meeting recently to discuss a solution to the Britney problem.
Apparently, "There is one person assigned to come outside and start directing the process of getting her turned away."
Typically, Britney appears to be having difficulty coming to terms with the ban.
The source adds: "She doesn't listen. She comes back anyway."

Do you want a superhero for your voice? Then look no further. Brad Venable is a mild-mannered voice actor by day, and a voice-over superhero at night. Who is the man behind the mask? Only his studio engineer knows, and he's not talking.
His range is heroically wide, from superheroes to everyday heroes, with the guy next door in between. His skill set is unsurpassed, and every voice gets a hero's touch.
He's been saving projects for fifteen years, from live events and public address, to radio and TV, audiobooks and narrations, video games, animation, and anything else that talks to you. And thanks to the internet; he can save projects the world over, from one continent to another.
From his "Fortress of Isolation," the voice-over superhero can speak to the entire world, so miles and miles of highway or water are no match for his powerful pipes.
People have asked the voice-over superhero to save their marathon-like projects all the way down to projects a single word long. They do this because they know that that he will deliver faster than a speeding bullet, in a voice more powerful than a locomotive that can carry higher than the tallest building.
The 'Man of Steel' had a weakness, but there's no kryptonite for the voice-over superhero. He can do it all. Grab him before he saves the project of a competitor.

Innovative Contracting
Lane Rental
Lane rental charges a rental fee to contractors for closing lanes and shoulders to do construction work. The contract includes a rental fee based on the estimated cost of delay or inconvenience to the road user. Fees cover the time the contractor occupies or obstructs part of the roadway.
Like A + B bidding, the amount of total lane rental charges a contractor proposes for a projects can be combined with the cost for the work items to determine the successful bidder.
Rental Fees
The contract states rental fee rates in dollars per lane per time period - daily, hourly or fractions of an hour. Rental fee rates are dependent on the number and type of lanes closed and may vary for different hours of the day for a project.
- Encourages contractors to schedule work to minimize traffic restrictions in duration and lane closures
- Ideal for projects that significantly affect traveling public
- Useful in major urban-area projects and rural projects with flagging operations
- Requires additional effort to monitor lane closure times

Luxury is a relative concept. At the Denver Auto Show, it clearly applies to the $387,000 Lamborghini Aventador.
But luxury's range is broadening. Mercedes-Benz is unveiling a new concept model, the CLA, with a sticker price starting at $29,900.
Manufacturers are putting plenty of horsepower into the production and marketing of luxury lines, whether they define luxury as "affordable" or "come see us after you've won the lottery."
Sales of high-end brands boomed in 2012 after a few lean years during and after the recession.
Even though the luxury sector didn't fall as far as the broader car market during the downturn, its 2012 sales increase of 20 percent in Colorado nearly matched the overall market's gain of 22 percent.
"The news in the stock market of late has been good for us," said Mark Dismuke, general manager of Ferrari-Maserati of Denver. "It's creating some consumer confidence, which we hadn't been seeing."
Now, luxury-car makers are looking to expand their market with a mandated assist from the federal government.
To meet new fuel-mileage and emissions standards, manufacturers are rolling out smaller and less costly models.
The four-door CLA is the first Mercedes to come with a four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive — features that will reduce gas consumption.
Auto-show patrons can get a look at a concept model of the CLA, but it won't hit showrooms until September.
"It's a really good-looking car," said show attendee Marty Fowler, a real-estate agent from Vail. "To know that they have something in a price range like this, that's very interesting to me."
Phil Jarzen of Arvada said he has flirted with the idea of buying a Mercedes. Now, the flirtation may get more serious.
"I'll be in the market for a new car in maybe two years," he said. "But at this price, maybe it'll be sooner."
Sales expectations already are high.
Mercedes officials are projecting CLA sales of 30,000 units in the last four months of the year. For all of 2012, Mercedes sold 289,000 vehicles in the U.S. across all model lines, according to automotive analysis firm Polk.
Many buyers will add option packages to the base CLA, bringing its average cost to about $34,000, said Todd Bondy, general manager of Murray Motor Imports in Denver.
"When you look at $30,000, it's really not that much of a stretch from buying a new Accord or Maxima or Camry," he said.
Even Maserati is testing the affordable-luxury market, albeit at a higher level.
A new version of the Maserati Ghibli, previously released in the 1960s and 1990s, will hit showrooms in September at a list price of about $75,000 — a bargain compared with Maserati's flagship Quattroporte at $128,000.
The Ghibli will be targeted to compete with the Mercedes E-Class and the BMW 5 Series.
"For us, that's where the game is changing," said dealer Dismuke. "We've never been in that (price) arena before."

Alaskan Stout
Alaskan Brewing Co., Juneau, Alaska
5.7 percent ABV
There are many breweries that consistently release excellent products, but their misses are equal to their hits.
There are very few that have a high success rate and Alaskan Brewing Co. seems to be one of them.
Its Amber is my favorite out of the hundreds on the market and the Smoked Porter is one of the best beers in the world. Its Barleywine was also impressive. While I cant claim to have sampled every beer theyve made, I am constantly impressed by the high quality of the ones I have.
Alaskan Stout is an oatmeal stout that can hold its own with the best in the U.S. and the United Kingdom. Its creamy and rich without being overly sweet, cloying or heavy. It slides down the throat with ease after first massaging the taste buds with chocolate, caramel, coffee and roasted malt notes. The oats are also noticeable in the aroma and taste, something I dont come across very often usually there is just enough used to add a silky texture to the body of the stout.
The low bitterness of the roasted malts and hops, along with the oats, are a big factor in the smoothness of the beer. Its actually refreshing to taste roasted malt that is not overly bitter. Those looking for the typical strong coffee bitterness or a hop blast will have to look elsewhere.
The other characteristics of the beer are typical for a stout black color, tannish head, medium carbonation and a semi-dry finish.
Alaskan beers are available in 12 states, mostly west of the Mississippi, but including Wisconsin. The brewerys website has a Beer Finder link; click on Our Beer on the home page and then Find Our Beer and you can type in a zip code to see where its available.
Im amazed that a brewery in Alaska can produce enough beer to ship to the lower 48 states. Im sure glad it can. Keep em coming!
Beer Man sez: The Alaskan Brewing Co. continues its winning streak with its creamy oatmeal stout.
Todd Haefer of Scandinavia, Wis., gets paid to drink beer and write about it for Weekend. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Read past reviews at www.postcrescent.com/beerman.

I've been trying to get my head in the game for when marathon training starts in a few week while also still enjoying the freedom of not having a training schedule quite yet. My legs were really sore from my 9.48 miles on Sunday, and I think the Sunday Funday attitude I adopted later in the day probably didn't help the recovery. I had met up with a friend and we'd gone to a bar in my neighborhood and were befriended by some very friendly dudes who insisted on buying and taking shots of Jameson with us all night. Not the best post long run recovery nutrition.
I foam rolled last night which made me cry, but I woke up this morning feeling a little better. I slept hard and deep and when the alarm went off it was a painful awakening! I definitely reset it for an hour later and made the quick decision to scrap the run. Then my stomach woke up about five minutes later and I figured since I had to get up to go to the bathroom anyways, I might as well run. Weather.com said 78 degrees feels like 80 with 65% humidity. This is at 6:15 in the morning! Sheesh! It actually didn't feel excruciating. It was warm but when the sun isn't directly on you and hasn't been cooking the streets for a few hours, it's much more manageable. I did my amended route which cuts the run a little bit short. It was nice and breezy by the water over in Astoria park. I ran half naked in a sports bra and tiny spandex short and managed to escape with only a few sketchy comments. I am so past the point of caring. It's too hot for me to worry if I am offending people with my wobbly midsection. Just can't.
On a side note, a crossfit gym has recently opened in Astoria right in the middle of my running route! I'm not going to lie, I'm a little tempted to stop in! When I run past, no matter what time, there are people in there and they are encouraging and pushing each other. I also want to look as bad ass as them. Tomorrow I'm planning another easy 6, but I"ll be okay if it doesn't happen. I have a date tonight with one of the Jameson shot providers... so I have a feeling that i may need to go with the flow.
When it's 80, it's just too hot to wear a shirt (IMO).
Never, ever thought I would, but I recently gave up on the shirt thing. I'm not exactly Shalane-esque, it's just too hot to care anymore. New opinion: run as comfortable as you can in this heat!
Slow and steady, I will finish the race.
I love this opinion!
You're more BA than them because you're outside.
Attitude is everything
Decide who you want to be, and go be it.
Be Fearless. Be 261. - K. Switzer
I stoped caring about my tummy wobbling when I run...... WAAAAY to hot in PA to care...... I do try to get out there as early as I can to beat the heat!!
Peace, Love & RUN!!
I joined the shirtless brigade this summer too! It's way too hot/humid to care. Plus for pretty much the first time ever, my stomach doesn't glow in the dark with its paleness! Benefits all around
Oh, and have fun on your date!
I've only run without a shirt on once. Usually the floppy midsection will keep me from doing that! But great job getting out there and who cares what those people say?
The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step
-Lao Tzu
Best of luck to you.
Rock on and keep on running.....

Last call for Snoqualmie hangout Isadora's Café
January 5, 2011
By Staff
Jody Sands said, on her last day as owner of Isadora's Café, that she felt fulfilled and grateful for two years of community support.
Nevertheless, when a friend approached her with a box of tissues, she accepted it, knowing that she might need it later.
"Tonight is all about the love of this place," she said. "The love we have for each other and the love we have for this community."
Sands, her husband Michael and several musicians, artists and coffee lovers bade farewell to the iconoclastic spot on Railroad Avenue that closed its doors Dec. 31, with a party that was part celebration and part wake.
Jody and Michael owned Isadora's for two years, and although they had big plans for January, a string of winter afternoons with empty tables brought those plans back to earth.
"No business, no money," Michael said. "We weren't making any money for the last couple of weeks."
Jody first worked at Isadora's back in the early 1990s, when it first opened, and it came to be hers almost 20 years later. Now, it was hers to close down for the last time, until February, when the place reopens as a community theater.
"It's going to remain in the arts," Michael said, "I hope the place continues to be an enclave for artists and musicians."
Several musicians appeared one last time on the last night of the year. Many had become regulars over time.
Ask Sophie, the band that headlined the Dec. 31 show, performed about eight times during the past three years, said band member Joe Burgener, who praised the café's commitment to the arts.
"In lots of places you can find 'open mics,'" he said. "You can't find them with as much variety as you did here, from accomplished to novice."
Another musician was Michael Antone, who recorded a song on Isadora's piano that Neil Young later featured on his antiwar website.
Antone, a childhood friend of Jody's, and many other musicians found a spot in the owners' hearts.
"Isadora's played such a role in cultivating the arts in the Valley, it's sad to see it close its doors, heart-breaking in a way," Jody said. "I felt a sense of responsibility to the community to keep the doors open, so I feel kind of like I let the community down."
But Jody refused to stay sad. Instead, she focused on the new owners, Black Dog Community Theatre.
"It's something fresh and exciting," she said. "It's time for Isadora's to rest."
And if it came time for a final song for Isadora's, it would be somber, but not too sad, either, Burgener said.
"We've had an awful lot of fun here," he said.
Still, Isadora's closing means one more empty storefront in Snoqualmie's struggling downtown and one fewer place for people to meet.
"It's really hard to see them go under," performer Jason Winona said. "This town is changing. Affluent people are moving in, the industries have left. Lots of people who enjoy doing live music have left and gone elsewhere where it's more supported."

Isadora's will be missed by many. We'll be looking forward to what comes next.

Spartans Win SSC OpenerSeptember 15, 2012
TAMPA, Fla. – The No. 7 University of Tampa (4-0-1, 1-0 SSC) men's soccer team defeated Eckerd College (2-3-0, 0-1 SSC) by a one goal margin on Saturday evening. The win marks Tampa's first Sunshine State Conference victory of the season.
The Spartans broke open the scoring at the 10:40 mark as sophomore Craig Laird fed Tyler Blackwood a pass from midfield, who then floated the ball over the Triton goalkeeper's head. The goal marks Blackwood's team-leading fourth of the season. The score remained 1-0 at the end of the first half.
Neither team managed to score in the final period of the match, despite Tampa's 16 shots and Eckerd's six.
Tampa's senior goalkeeper David Niepel finished the match with two saves, while Eckerd's goalie recorded eight. Tampa totaled 24 shots on goal compared to the Triton's 10.
The Spartans will travel to Saint Leo, Fla. on Wednesday night to partake in another SSC matchup. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Live stats and an audio webcast is available through tampaspartans.tv.

New York, NY (Sports Network) - After experimenting with hybrid icing in the
preseason, the NHL Player's Association has voted to implement the new rule
for the 2013-14 season.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly made the announcement on NHL Live on Monday.
The rule change is viewed as a way to make the game safer by eliminating the
dangers and potential injuries that may result in the full bore races to the
end boards for the puck.
In hybrid icing, a linesman is tasked with judging the race at the faceoff
dots in the far zone. If the defending player is clearly ahead of the
attacking player, then the whistle will sound and icing will be called.
However, if the attacking player has the edge in pursuit of the puck, the
icing is negated and the play will continue.

We all know that water is becoming one of the top priorities for Las Cruces and for the entire Southwest. It's a complex issue that will take a great deal of collaborative effort to make headway. But that doesn't mean that we can't do our part as individuals to conserve water. The average family uses more than 300 gallons of water per day, so you can make more of a difference than you realize. Here are some simple steps you and your family can take in your own home to save water.
We'll start in the bathroom, where more than 60 percent of all residential indoor water consumption takes place.
•A full 30 percent of all water consumption in our homes goes down the toilet. Replacing old toilets with new, water-saving toilets is one of the best things we can do to save water. Remember that great, new-home feeling you had when all your toilets were brand new? You can reclaim that feeling and save water by installing WaterSense certified toilets. In fact, if every toilet in the U.S. were replaced this way, it would save nearly 2 billion gallons of water per day.
•Showering accounts for 17 percent of indoor water use. By replacing old shower heads with new, water-saving heads, the average American family would save 2,900 gallons of water in a year. We would save even more if we all take shorter, or fewer, showers.
•Faucets account for more than 15 percent of the water we use in our homes, which more than 1 trillion gallons of water across the United States each year. We can save water by turning the water off when we aren't actually using it — like when we are brushing our teeth. Or we could take the easy way by replacing faucets with new, water-saving ones.
•Laundry rooms are another big user of water in the home, accounting for about 17 percent of the total. A quick and easy way to save water is to only operate the washing machine when you have a full load of laundry. When replacement time comes, purchase a high-efficiency washing machine to use 35 to 50 percent less water than a machine that isn't efficient.
The kitchen offers opportunities to save water as well. Sink disposals use a lot of water to operate properly. Instead, keep a container by your sink to collect food scraps, and start a compost pile as an alternate food waste disposal method that you can use in your garden. Instead of letting water run down the drain, collect it for watering plants. Don't use running water to thaw frozen foods or meat.
Now is the time to get familiar with the WaterSense label. Much like the Energy Star label, the WaterSense label means that products have been independently tested and certified to perform as well or better than conventional water fixtures while guaranteeing that you will save water. These products are readily available, normally don't cost any more than conventional water fixtures and they perform so well you won't even notice you are saving water. It makes it easier to do our part to make sure that we have plenty of water for today and generations to come.

|Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble singles chronology
"Pride and Joy" is a song by Texas singer/guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan and his backup band Double Trouble. It is an original composition by Vaughan and appeared on his 1983 Epic Records debut album Texas Flood. "Pride and Joy" was also released as Vaughan's first single and has become one of his best-known songs.
"Pride and Joy" was a feature of Vaughan live repertoire before he recorded it. According to Double Trouble drummer Chris Layton, Vaughan wrote it for a new girlfriend at the time (a later fight with her inspired his "I'm Cryin'").[1]
- Well, you've heard about love givin' sight to the blind
- My baby's lovin' cause the sun to shine
- She's my sweet little thing, she's my pride and joy
- She's my sweet little baby, I'm her little lover boy
Called "a classic Texas shuffle",[2] it has a twelve-bar blues arrangement, notated in the key of E[citation needed] (although with Vaughan's guitar tuned one-half step lower, resulting in the pitch of E♭)[citation needed] in 4/4 time with a moderately fast tempo. The main guitar figure features a bassline along with muted chord chops to produce a percussive-like effect.[2] Vaughan also "extracts extra sound from the guitar by choosing finger shapes that allow the maximum number of strings to ring at a time (often the top E-string [E♭])".[2]
Vaughan's song was released as a single and reached number 20 in Billboard magazine's Mainstream Rock chart.[3] A cover of the song was featured in the music video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. His album Texas Flood was also a best seller and helped renew interest in blues music.[4]

It is well worth reading the recent statement from the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition.
It is true that close to a billion people still suffer from hunger. It is also true that malnutrition has implications for all eight of the Millennium Development Goals.
The problem I have with the recommendations is that they include nebulous statements like:
'Scale-up and adapt direct nutrition interventions that have proven effective. It is urgent to build on existing efforts and experience, to review and disseminate good practices and to ensure integration of relevant sectoral interventions'.
What on earth does this mean?
If we are serious about improving nutrition, at a minimum we need to:
- Remunerate producers on the nutritional content of the food they produce. Currently they are remunerated on the yield.
- Eat fresh, eat local and eat seasonal. Home grown is best.
- Stop refining grain.
- Ban trans fats.
- Seriously reduce our consumption of sugar, high fructose corn syrup, fat and salt.
- Traffic light label all processed foods. The Food Standards Agency in the UK supports this. The European Commission, most manufacturers and many supermarket chains reject it. I can guess why.
- Stop filling the bellies of hungry children in the third world with corn soya blend (refined cereal), Plumpy'Nut (high fat, high sugar) or XanGo Meal Pack (non dairy creamer).
- Stop using mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and body mass index (BMI) as a measure of nutritional status – unless we believe that fatter kids are healthier kids.
- Stop believing that we can correct micronutrient deficiencies by adding these to food in the form of chemical isolates, courtesy of the pharmaceutical industry.
Unfortunately, these basic measures involve trampling on the toes of vested interest, so are unlikely ever to be implemented.

Topic: Freaky weather Thread
I sure everywhere some Freaky Weather, but today was bloody joke as 11 tornadoes strike across UK
A series of freak tornadoes struck communities in parts of Britain yesterday, damaging property and uprooting trees in a trail of destruction.
It is understood as many as 11 separate twisters formed separately early yesterday from Farnborough, Hampshire, to as far north as Scunthorpe.
The 80mph winds damaged dozens of homes, with some roofs ripped off.
However, there were no reports of injuries, and the Association of British Insurers predicted claims would be a fraction of those from this summer's devastating floods.
Dr Terrence Meaden, deputy head of the Tornado and Storm Research Organisation, said that five reports were "looking certain" to be confirmed as tornadoes.
They hit Farnborough, Hampshire; Luton, Bedfordshire; Nuneaton, Warwickshire; and Long Eaton, Derbyshire. Dr Meaden said further research may well confirm another five tornadoes.
A double-decker school bus had part of its roof ripped off by a falling branch.
The bus, which was empty, was travelling on the A4500 in Northamptonshire at about 7am yesterday.
In a statement, the Met Office said that the gusts were "conducive to tornadoes" and measured T2 or T3 on the Torro scale - which ranges from 0 to 10 - meaning that they were "moderate to strong".
i woke up 5.30 in moring to ear Rain bashing so load, unbealiveable and really Gusty, i was scared as i was the only wake at the time and that was not a tornadoe.
i got to go, i my sister need to use intenet

Mapping Nature's Strongholds
Nature's Strongholds:
Strong vs. Less Resilient Landscapes
See the graphic
Much as a castle's keep served as a haven of last retreat for its residents, a new study by The Nature Conservancy has identified "nature's strongholds" across the Northeast that are predicted to help plants, animals and people withstand the growing impacts of climate change.
The study analyzed 156 million acres from Virginia to Maine's Canadian border.
Your support helps us protect Massachusetts' forests
for the nature that sustains us all. Donate today!
Scientists grouped landscapes into "neighborhoods" that were rated by:
Complexity — Can species seek new habitat at different topographies, geologies and elevations?
Permeability — Can species move freely, or are they blocked by roads, dams or other development?
Corridors — Can species relocate to new neighborhoods?
Among the resilient landscapes in Massachusetts are forests in the Westfield River watershed, the Quabbin Reservoir and the Massachusetts Military Reservation on Cape Cod.
While these strongholds provide hope, scientists warn that reducing the impact of climate change is still a high priority, and that these landscapes could lose their shielding ability if not protected.
The study complements and draws extensively on data from BioMap2, a fine-scale scientific roadmap for conserving Massachusetts over the next 10 years developed by The Nature Conservancy in partnership with Massachusetts state agencies.
The reports combine to inform the Conservancy's work across New England in the coming decades. With these tools for conserving rare species and diverse natural communities, we can best focus our work to protect and restore healthy, resilient landscapes.

European Stocks Advance; Standard Chartered Rises, TomTom Slides
European stocks gained as investors speculated that Greek lawmakers will heed Prime Minister George Papandreou's call to approve a package of austerity measures.
Standard Chartered Plc rose 2.7 percent after the U.K.'s third-largest bank by market value said first-half profit before taxes may post "double-digit" growth from a year earlier. Prudential Plc climbed 2.6 percent after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. upgraded the U.K.'s largest insurer to "buy." TomTom NV plunged 27 percent after cutting full-year profit and sales forecasts as U.S. demand for its devices declined.
The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index increased 0.5 percent to 265.23 at the 4:30 p.m. close in London. Since its peak this year on Feb. 17, the gauge has tumbled 8.9 percent as investors speculated that Greece will fail to repay all its debt. The retreat has left the measure trading at the cheapest valuation compared with reported profits since 2008, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"Without Europe's debt crisis, the environment is positive for equities," said Thilo Mueller, who helps manage 120 million euros ($172 million) at MB Fund Advisory GmbH in Limburg, Germany. "Equities are cheap and economic data and company's earnings are good. If the Greek parliament votes for austerity measures, this will help ease concern in the market."
National benchmark indexes gained in all of the western European markets except Iceland and Belgium. The U.K.'s FTSE 100 Index advanced 0.8 percent. France's CAC 40 Index climbed 1.5 percent, while Germany's DAX Index added 0.9 percent.
Greece's Austerity Vote
Papandreou faces his second survival test in a week tomorrow when lawmakers vote on the package of budget cuts and asset sales that's needed before Greece can get the fifth loan payment from last year's 110 billion-euro rescue. Failure to pass Papandreou's 78 billion-euro plan may lead to the euro area's first sovereign-debt default.
The first session of the three-day debate began in Athens yesterday. The Greek parliament will vote on June 29. Lawmakers also need to pass an implementation law, which provides the technical details of how the five-year plan will be applied, by June 30. Unions began their fourth general strike of the year at midnight, protesting against the plan.
Greece's ASE Index rose 2.7 percent today as Alpha Bank SA surged 4.3 percent to 3.42 euros and National Bank of Greece SA, the country's largest lender, soared 5.4 percent to 4.90 euros. EFG Eurobank Ergasias rallied 5.8 percent to 3.26 euros.
European Central Bank Executive Board member Juergen Stark said he does not expect the international community to finance Greece further after July if the country fails to implement its austerity plan, Die Welt reported citing an interview.
Debt Payments
HSBC Holdings Plc Chief Executive Officer Stuart Gulliver said the bank and other lenders have discussed Greece's debt payments with the Institute of International Finance.
"There appears to be an emerging consensus that agreement is a week or two away," the CEO said on the sidelines of a conference in London today.
In the U.S., house prices decreased in April, showing that the housing market remains an obstacle to the economic recovery. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities fell 4 percent from April 2010, the biggest year-on-year drop since November 2009. That matched the median forecast of 30 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. Another report showed that consumer confidence dropped to a seven-month low in June.
'Muted' Growth
Standard Chartered gained 2.7 percent to 1,581 pence after the London-based bank said income from markets including Hong Kong, Singapore and China helped offset a decline in India and "muted" growth in Africa. Net interest margins, a measure of profitability for its lending businesses, were "broadly flat" for the group from the previous full year.
Banking shares were the second-best performers in the Stoxx 600 today. UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, which Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. named as two of its preferred stocks, rose 2.4 percent to 14.77 Swiss francs and 0.8 percent to 31.88 francs, respectively.
Prudential increased 2.6 percent to 705.5 pence after the insurer was raised to "buy" from "neutral" at Goldman Sachs. The brokerage also upgraded Legal & General Group Plc, the U.K.'s fourth-biggest insurer by market value, and St. James's Place Plc, the wealth manager majority-owned by Lloyds Banking Group Plc. Legal & General rose 1.3 percent to 111 pence and St. James's Place advanced 0.6 percent to 321 pence.
Sporting Goods
Adidas AG, the world's second-largest sporting-goods maker, jumped 3.9 percent to 53.78 euros after Nike Inc., the world's largest sporting-goods company, posted fourth-quarter per-share earnings of $1.24. Analysts had predicted $1.17, according to the average estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
Puma AG, the sporting-goods brand known for its leaping cat logo, increased 2.6 percent to 210.35 euros.
Carrefour SA advanced 3.7 percent to 27.44 euros. The world's second-largest retailer by sales said it had received a proposal from the Gama investment fund to merge its Brazilian assets with those of Cia. Brasileira de Distribuicao Grupo Pao de Acucar. The company's board will review the proposal, which would create Brazil's largest retailer, according to a statement.
Casino Guichard-Perrachon SA sank 5.6 percent to 62.20 euros, its lowest price in 11 months. The rival French supermarket operator, which owns 37 percent of Pao de Acucar, said Gama's proposal to Carrefour is a "long-standing illegal planned financial transaction."
K+S AG, Europe's biggest potash producer, gained 2 percent to 52.22 euros after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. raised its potash price forecasts for the last half of 2011 and 2012 by 6 to 9 percent.
TomTom Tumbles
TomTom slumped 27 percent to 3.58 euros, its largest retreat in more than six years, after Europe's biggest maker of portable navigation devices said earnings per share will be 25 euro cents to 30 cents in 2011. In April, the company predicted "broadly flat" earnings per share compared with 49 cents in 2010. Full-year sales will be 1.23 billion euros to 1.28 billion euros, about 14 percent less than an earlier range and a second cut this year.
Cable & Wireless Worldwide Plc plunged 14 percent to 45 pence, its largest drop in three months, after saying that its profit this year will miss estimates because of slower-than-expected sales orders. The telecommunications company also said it accepted the resignation of Chief Executive Officer Jim Marsh with immediate effect. Chairman John Pluthero will take the CEO role, the company said in a statement.
Colruyt NV slumped 13 percent to 32.80 euros, the biggest decline since 1991, after Belgium's biggest discount food retailer reported full-year profit that missed analysts' estimates.
Siemens AG declined 1.9 percent to 91 euros as Europe's largest engineering company said it must increase efforts to foster growth in the second half because the stimulus from the global economic recovery is fading.

I've been trying to obtain a copy of what should be a fantastic pre-echo sample track. I recently downloaded a track from the Bladerunner Soundtrack. Now, the problem is that there are several different Bladerunner Soundtrack versions, most of them are not approved by the copyright holders. They are 'hack' releases by people who managed to get their hands on the studio soundtrack material and dub it.
The "offworld" releases are not approved by the copyright holders, but contain many tracks of music found in the movie itself. One such track is the "Japanese Blimp woman" music which has terrible pre-echo problems that are downright obvious in an extreme way. Try to download an mp3 of that track.
Within the track is some kind of oriental harp that is played with fury and causes a slap-like pre-echo and garbled artifacts which are terribly obvious within the natural ambience of the recording.
I'm currently trying to obtain one of the unapproved Bladerunner Soundtracks with the Japanese Blimp woman track. It's a codec killer.
If anyone knows where I can directly obtain a soundtrack like this, let me know.

Highmark sues UPMC to stop ad campaign
Highmark Inc. wants federal judges to stop what it says are misleading advertisements by UPMC Health Plan designed to scare employers and insurance consumers.
Highmark, the state's largest health insurer, says the advertisements suggest that its Blue Cross Blue Shield members will lose all access to UPMC after June 30, 2012, when contracts with UPMC doctors and most of UPMC's hospitals expire. Highmark members will continue to have access to all UPMC facilities for one year, until June 2013.
In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh, Highmark asks judges for a preliminary injunction to stop UPMC from running its advertisements, which the insurer said are misleading and violate contracts between the two giant nonprofits.
"The misinformation campaign is designed to panic employers and health care consumers into thinking that they have to sever all ties with Highmark immediately," the lawsuit says.
UPMC has notified Highmark it intends to end the doctors' contract effective June 2012. Separately, Highmark contracts expire with UPMC Hamot hospital in Erie in June 2013, with UPMC Mercy hospital in June 2015 and with Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in June 2022.
Highmark contends in the suit that although its contract with UPMC's doctors can be terminated with 60 days' notice, UPMC has to provide members with access to physician services at agreed-upon rates through the one-year, run-out period at no additional cost.
"No employer or health care consumer need make any decisions regarding the potential impacts of those changes for at least another year," the lawsuit says.
UPMC interprets its obligations during the run-out differently, UPMC spokesman Paul Wood said. He added that the lawsuit makes it clear both nonprofits agree the contracts are expiring and will not be renewed.
"As for Highmark's interpretation of contractual provisions governing the run-out period, UPMC strongly disagrees and looks forward to presenting the court and the public with the actual contract language," Wood said.
UPMC's top lawyer sent a letter to Highmark last week, seeking to negotiate how the termination of the contracts will proceed, the Tribune-Review reported first on Sunday. Highmark has, so far, refused to talk about ending the contracts, Wood said.
"Perhaps this lawsuit will bring them to that table," he said.
Highmark argues the ads violate a clause in each of its contracts with UPMC hospitals, barring them from steering patients to competing insurers. "Simply put, each of the hospitals agreed not to try to lure Highmark's customers away from it, directly or indirectly, much less by false and misleading means," the suit says.
UPMC has started a "malicious campaign" to retaliate against the insurer for its plans announced last month to spend $475 million to take over the West Penn Allegheny Health System, the lawsuit says. The region's second-largest hospital system will fail without its aid, Highmark says.
The campaign promoting UPMC's deals with four national insurers includes print advertisements that have appeared in the Tribune-Review and other publications, radio advertisements that ran more than 100 times during the first week of July, a website and direct solicitations, the lawsuit says. The plan started in April, the suit says, with emails to employers who have Highmark contracts.
Highmark "will have an uphill battle in winning the lawsuit" and proving that the ads are false rather than just slanted, said Andy Thurman, a health care attorney who once worked as counsel for Allegheny Health Education and Research Foundation, the former parent of Allegheny General Hospital.
If the nonprofits do not extend the contracts, there will be limits for Highmark subscribers seeking access to UPMC, he said. By filing the suit, however, the insurer must believe it can win.
"Highmark has good lawyers," he said. "The fact that they filed the lawsuit at all means that they think the ads are truly misleading."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - A former college student has been indicted on murder charges in the death of her daughter, who police say drowned in a dormitory toilet.
Kathryn "Katie" McCoy was also indicted Thursday on charges of tampering with physical evidence for allegedly giving birth to a baby girl on Oct. 23 and then concealing the body.
McCoy has pleaded not guilty. The 19-year-old former student at Bellarmine University is free on $50,000 bond.
The charges came after a baby girl was found in a gym bag in McCoy's dorm room at Anniversary Hall on Bellarmine's campus.
Police said McCoy gave birth to a baby girl in the bathroom of her dorm room and then let the infant fall into the toilet.

"Some people might think it's a little bit sexy or inappropriate," Spies said. "But I think it's artistic. I think it's a good expression of who I am as a person. I'm a dancer, I'm trying to be a model, I really enjoy photography and I think that this is a good thing to represent me and I think they are taking away my freedom of expression."
Spies submitted a senior picture that shows her wearing a yellow skirt with a black shawl wrapped around her chest. In her picture, her abdomen and shoulders are exposed. Spies was notified on Tuesday that her picture is going to be removed from her senior yearbook and she needs to pick a different portrait.
Spies says the yearbook student editors had previously voted 4-1 to allow her picture and already sent that page of the yearbook to a publishing company. She suspects pressure from the school administration led the yearbook editors to change their minds and unanimously vote to remove the picture from the yearbook.
"One of the students told me that they have to support the school," Spies said.
Miki Spies, Sydney's mother, was told by Durango High School Principal Diane Lashinsky that the picture violated dress code.
"I'm fighting it because there is no policy that says senior pictures need to follow the dress code," Sydney Spies said.
The Durango Herald reports that Spies, her mother, and a group of students protested Wednesday in front of the high school. One of the signs said: "We will not be intimidated by the administration."
Spies has an appointment to meet with her principal Friday morning to discuss the photograph.
"I just feel like she's taking away my freedom of expression and I think she intimidated the editors to change their views on it," said Spies. "I don't think she's going to change her mind. I think she's going to stick with her decision to not have this in the yearbook."
The Durango Herald reports that Principal Lashinsky and Assistant Principal LeAnne Garcia had declined to comment about the issue.

Mother's Day Gift Guide
Since primary school, we've all had to come up with the perfect gifts for Mum on Mother's Day. From handmade cards with lopsided cut-and-paste hearts to semi-charred breakfasts in bed, Mum has been receiving all our best efforts (and mishaps) on her special day. The time has come to make a change from hastily assembled gifts and freshly-picked bouquets. Let us show you five unforgettable and unique Mother's Day bouquet alternatives:
For the Cooking Mum why not consider one of our Fig Trees? Figs are very delicate fruits with a gentle aroma and sweet flavour. If your mum spends loads of time in the kitchen, whipping up tasty treats, she would love to try incorporating figs from her own garden into the menu!
For the Hostess-with-the-Mostest, we have a lovely three tiered Topiary Tree that would be a stunning addition to the entrance of a home or lounge. These trees provide an elegant accent to homes and, when in bloom, could fill the room with a subtle pine fragrance.
For the Zen Mother who enjoys tranquillity and meditation, an Olive Bush, also referred to as a 'Plant of Peace' could be the perfect addition to a relaxing environment. Olive branches have long since been used as symbols of peace, making the olive bush a thoughtful and unforgettable gift.
Maybe you have a real Mumsy Mum, someone who provides you with unwavering comfort and is steadfastly committed to her family? If so, consider showing your appreciation to her with one of our Hawthorn Trees, a tree associated with protection and commitment.
Or maybe your mum is more of a Nurturing Mother, a mum who could always make the woes of the world pass with a simple hug or a smile. If so, our Bay Laurel trees may be the optimum gift for her, as they are used to ward off evil and illness. Bay leaves are also used frequently in cooking hearty dishes like stews and soups and are associated with comfort.

ANTIOCH, Calif. (AP) - A 13-year-old boy has drowned after ending up in a Northern California canal filled with swift-moving water.
Contra Costa Fire Protection District Capt. Robert Marshall said a friend tried to jump into the Antioch water district canal Saturday to rescue the boy, but got out of the water when he realized the current was too strong.
It was unclear why the teen went into the canal, but police did find a skateboard near the water's edge. Marshall said the boy climbed over a six-foot-high fence that runs the length of the 46-mile-long canal.
The Contra Costa Times says (http://bit.ly/155hLPA) it was the second time this week that someone has died in the canal.
On Wednesday, the body of 48-year-old Saul Hernandez of Brentwood was found in the water.

Traditional earth plasters and lime renders have a much longer track record than conventional stucco. When properly incorporated into architectural designs, they have stood the tests of time in many demanding climates. Because they are more flexible than cement-based stucco systems, they are less prone to large cracks and typically do not require control joints. They are also breathable and less likely to trap moisture within a wall than modern vapor barriers. What most distinguishes traditional exterior plasters however is their stunning array of potential finishes and their ability to age gracefully with minimal maintenance.

LOL, ITE http://abovethelaw.com/2009/11/most_lsats_ever.php
Quote from: mbw on November 17, 2009, 12:16:15 AM<----is in memo hell.save me. can't I have my old life back?Hang in there, you'll be fine MB. But no, you can't have your old life back. Once in LS there is no turning back even if you try. No turning back lifestyle wise, psychologically, the way you think about and look at things, etc. The operating system that is your mind is being re-programed and upgraded. The installation procedure for your new OS is lengthy, a bit rough and buggy at times, but once fully installed it operates pretty smoothly and is very powerful. It's totally normal, especially at this point in LS as a 1L to feel like You've Never Been Lost Like This and to have those thoughts and feelings. They will pass in time.
<----is in memo hell.save me. can't I have my old life back?
I'd love to join this LGBT club. It's the Legos, Gobots, Barbies, and other Toys group, right? I'll show up with an armful of toys.
awkward follows you like a beer chasing a shot of tequila.
Is it normal to be filled with self doubt and loathing while waiting for the results of law school apps?

'saya' by lievore altherr molina for arper
conceived by spanish designer lievore altherr molina, 'saya' is a chair that features a bold, striking silhouette, graphic in its appearance.

available in white, black, ochre, and three shades of red, 'saya' features a four-leg base which comes in wood or a chrome-finished steel version
which makes the design stackable, ideal for large-scale use and storage.

what a beautiful work
the video is fantastic
congratulations , the chair is a must !!!!
so moving, I want to weep ….
How to justify another chair to a world suffocated with chairs; accompany its manufacture and production with a cute musical animation implying the whole design process was motivated by your philosophy of humble simplicity and service to humanity.
Today designers are obligated to portray their chair designs as another milestone in the yearned-for panacea to end mankind's affliction with having to sit down. But its just a chair, a cool looking chair. The animation is incredibly clever the way animal imitates and then gradually reveals the chairs form. Please lets stop trying to imply its more profound than that – unless of course it is.
spectacular video!!
looks like a variation of Arne Jacobson's chair with a more pronounced horizontal gesture.
welldone!! Felicitacines.
I am normally quite cynical about 'new' designs for chairs.
I see some crazy idea for a chair and think to myself "……Oh no, not another chair!".
I said 'Oh wow' when I saw this.
Stunning in its elegance.
Beautiful in its simplicity.
How did we not see this before now?
Thank you

The 33rd Annual Shippensburg Corn Festival, living up to its name, featured corn fritters, sweet corn, kettle corn and chicken corn soup. "A lot of the vendors are also cooking everything in corn oil to keep with the tradition," said Jane Minetola, craft vendor chair of the festival. The Shippensburg Young Adult Farmers Association had a hundred dozen ears of white corn at the beginning of the festival.
While they hadn't sold out by 1:30 p.m., something that has happened at previous festivals, they were doing good, according to Dennis Diehl, treasurer.
"We have regulars that come and see us every year," Diehl said. "They have to have their sweet corn."
The organization was the original stand for corn when the festival began, according to Ray Thrush, president.
"It's all local corn, too," Thrush said. "That's the best kind."
Several stands this year were offering corn fritters for guests.
The Cumberland County Farm Bureau was offering deep fried corn fritters this year and unexpectedly ran out at 9:30 a.m.
"We were not expecting such a response," said Jason Nailor, board member. "We had to make an emergency run."
St. Peters African Methodist Episcopal Church in Shippensburg was offering a corn fritter that was made more like a pancake and was grilled.
"It's a family recipe from a church member who shared it with us for the festival," said Bernadette Benbow, a member of the congregation.
There were also several stands offering kettle corn.
Other food items this year included barbecue, butterfly potatoes, ice cream, grilled chicken and Thai food, all from local buisnesses.

Beyond Hollywood movies and video games, three-dimensional visualization and animation play a fundamental role in the academic community. Adding a visual component to any research project often provokes novel and interesting questions that might not have been previously regarded. For example, the visual reconstruction of a Native American house or a Roman insula leads to questions about structural elements, interior design, furnishing and decoration. In a modern setting, visualization of a series of different proposed buildings can provide city planners and the public with important information on whether to approve or deny permits and/or information useful to assess the outcome of alternative planning scenarios. Visualization of multiple data sets from a range of instruments such as aerial cameras, laser scanners and geophysical devices can lead to new insights that each alone could not provide. The use of the latest visualization technology bridges both research and public interpretation and information. Complex processes and alternative outcomes can be visualized and understood by a wider audience
The field of scientific visualization is large and work at CAST generally focuses on visualization of moderate scale data and particularly on representations of buildings, objects and environmental settings of modest (e.g. city or county) scale. A key research and application direction is the integration of advanced mensuration techniques (e.g. photogrammetry and laser scanning) with visualization.
The Center has extensive software and hardware capabilities for visualization and animation purposes with products such as SoftImage XSI and Studio 3DS Max and two examples. Details are provided in the resources section of the web site
CAST has been involved in numerous 3D analysis projects during the past few years. More information on these projects is provided at the links to the left.
Many high school students participating in the the EAST Initiative are learning animation skills supported in part by the Center. CAST also has a number of animation initiatives at the UA and is working with other programs across the UA campus (drama, art, computer science/computer engineering) and others to grow the educational opportunities in this expanding area.
An example of one of the educational initiatives is the UA Honors College course " Visualizing the Roman City" which brings together faculty and students from Classics, Architecture, Geosciences and Anthropology to investigate the nature of the Roman City merging insights from classical literature, architectural theory and visualization techniques.
