Curricula: Education
The essential aim pursued by the Church through two millenia is the combination of intellectual education with moral and religious training.
The educational activity of the Church can be classified into four areas:
- Institutions - established to meet different needs
- Writings - of Catholic educationists and educators
- Teaching Work - of the various religious Orders
- Catholic School Systems - maintained and supported by voluntary contributions
This Curricula: Education pulls together the most essential aspects of this subject for easy access.
NOTE: This is not an article from the Catholic Encyclopedia. It is provided here for the benefit of those interested in pursuing additional studies in this area.
The study of this subject should begin with a general survey of education, its nature and purposes:

A York County group is using a $6 million endowment to enhance the qualify of life for older adults - especially as the baby boomers begin to retire.
Known as the Hahn Home endowment, the money is funding the York County Community Foundation's Embracing Aging Initiative. The fund was created in 2007 from the proceeds of the sale of the Hahn Home for Women on South George Street, which closed after a 2003 fire.
The committee steering the initiative will release a report next week that explores ways to help York County improve its housing, government and transportation services for older adults.
"This issue doesn't just affect people who provide services for older adults," said Jane Conover, the foundation's vice president of community investment. "We need to get new people to the table."
That's where the Livable Communities Collaborative comes in.
The foundation announced Tuesday that York County is one of six communities in the U.S. to be chosen by the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging to work together on aging issues. The collaborative is funded by the MetLife Foundation.
The other communities selected to participate in the collaborate are Bellevue, Wash., Larimer County, Colo., Miami Gardens, Fla., Monroe County, N.Y. and Sedgwick County, Kan.
Though the selection does not include funding, the York County Community Foundation's initiative will receive technical assistance and networking opportunities.
"We're hoping it's going to bring more visibility and potentially more resources," Conover said.
- Reach Erin James at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If You Go:
A discussion of the York County Community Foundation's Embracing Aging Initiative report is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 17 during the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute's Founders' Lecture and Luncheon, scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the main classroom building at Penn State York. Tickets, which include lunch. are $30 for institute members and $35 for non-members.
Tickets can be purchased by calling (717) 771-4015 or email email@example.com. The deadline for purchase is Friday.

I've been thinking a good bit about setting up a WAN in the Wexford area recently, and have come up with a few ideas, some of which may seem far fetched.
Does anyone know if any permission is needed to put a very small wireless base station on a hill or mountain? I've made a few plans in my head (nothing on paper) for a totally unattended base station. Basically it would consist of a normal base station (they sell for around £200 - 300), a car battery, and solar panel. The battery alone could keep it running for over 2 weeks I beleive without charging, and when there's sun, the solar panels would charge the battery and power the station. It would have a fairly small omnidirectional antenna, and if necessary, a directional antenna to link it to another base station, which would probably work for around 20miles. I'd expect reliable connections at 11mbit to work for approx 10 miles assuming the normal user has a directional antenna.
Assuming a basic backbone was established, and a few members came onto the network, the next task would be getting a connection to the net. In this area, Chorus won't have powernet till next year, and probably no adsl for a century, so the only decent net access it could have it through Beam, which at the moment is better value than €ircon's adsl (400k down, 128k up, no transfer limits, for £125/month and no phone needed). If friaco came out, one way satellite i.e. Satnode (300k approx) could be used to provide a connection (satnode is €40/month plus phone costs). If friaco does come out, then some kind of isdn setup could be used as a gateway for people wanting to play multiplayer games on the net. Of course if some ISP would sponsor it, and say give a leased line for free, then that would be a reliable and low ping solution.
For network services, I'd devote a server to it, probably running game servers for UT, Q3A, e.t.c. so that members could join it at any time, and also a local messaging service (can't remember the name but it's like icq, but for a 'private' network).
Speeds; currently 11MBit is the max speed of wireless networks, but there is a new standard being made, which will allow speeds above 50MBit.
If there was good interest, then numerous unattended base stations could be set up, and users on different stations would be able to communicate with each other via a dedicated 11MBit link, but would probably have little load, as I'd hope that each base station would have its own net connection somewhere.
I know none of this will happen unless there is sufficient interest; probably need 10 people interested, and within range of the first base station to make it worth while, and to make it affordable (each home setup would probably cost around £200 at a guess (sterling) ).

BP Purchases Wind Developer
|in News Departments > New & Noteworthy
BP has purchased Charlottesville, Va.-based Greenlight Energy Inc., a developer of wind power generation projects across the U.S. The purchase will allow BP to accelerate its plans to develop a leading wind power business in North America through its BP Alternative Energy sector that was launched in November 2005.
From the purchase, BP has acquired all the shares of Greenlight Energy for a consideration of some $98 million, excluding working capital and tax adjustments, the company says. The company also plans on developing Greenlight's portfolio of mature and early-stage projects in the U.S. over the next five years - with a potential total power generating capacity of 6.5 GW.
"This purchase gives BP Alternative Energy immediate access to a large number of high-quality wind development projects across the country, including a number of projects we expect to be able to develop over the next few years," says Steve Westwell, BP Alternative Energy's chief executive.

Alternate title: Dark Streets
In this actioner, Eddie Baker is brutally murdered by drug dealers. Later expatriate, reformed drug-dealer Superfly is conned into returning to the US from Paris by federal drug agents. He then must let his former cronies know that he wants back into the drug business. Superfly hasn't been a dealer for over twenty-years, and doesn't realize that drug dealing has become a deadly game. His sudden reappearance rouses the suspicion of the two crooked cops controlling the city's drug flow. They are unsure which side of the law he is on and are not anxious to allow him a piece of the action. Fortunately for "Fly" a good buddy fills him in on modern drug trafficking. He decides to go back to Paris, but then the US agents force him to change his plans. Later Superfly is beaten by the drug lord's men and his lady friend is shot. Now nothing will prevent the enraged hero from getting his revenge. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Rendering of suspect
CSU students and staff received yet another text-message alert early Saturday morning of a sexual assault on the east side of campus.
�It�s really frustrating that this is the third time now in three months, and you would think there would be more patrols or there would be more going on to try and stop it,� said Janice Bytheway, 30, a Colorado State University atmospheric science student.
Bytheway lives on the 100 block of Lake Street, a few steps from the scene of a sexual assault on a 22-year-old female student early Saturday morning. The scene is a block south of Jack Christiansen Memorial track, where a sexual assault on a woman was reported about two weeks earlier. The month before that, an attempted sexual assault on a man was reported at the track.
Nobody has been arrested in connection with any of the assaults, and there appear to be at least two suspects. CSU officials say they�ve increased police patrols. They�ve also cut tree branches and added some lighting to make the area safer.
�We�re all concerned to be hearing about these reported assaults, and we�re especially concerned for the victims in the cases,� CSU spokesman Mike Hooker said. �We�re continuing extended patrols there, and if there need to be even more patrols, we�re definitely doing all we can to take these steps to investigate and try to solve these attacks.�
Bytheway said she now makes sure to leave her front porch light on, even if she isn�t going anywhere. She said it�s surprising as many sex assaults have been reported in the area, considering it gets a high amount of foot traffic from students.
She returned home from an Old Town bar and restaurant early Saturday morning to find her street blocked by yellow police tape. She could see numerous police officers near a gray sedan at the train tracks, Bytheway said.
�It�s really frustrating, because obviously I moved here thinking it was a relatively safe neighborhood,� she said.
Construction crews continue to work in the area of the assaults to build the MAX rapid-transit system, expected to begin bus service next year along the train tracks. With that comes more activity and lighting. Hooker said that might help make the area safer.
The following campus safety tips are offered through the CSU International Student and Scholar Services website:
� Walk confidently at a steady pace, making eye contact with people.
� Whenever possible, travel with a friend.
� Always be alert of your surroundings. Trust your instincts; avoid people and situations that make you nervous. Stay in well-lighted areas as much as possible.
� If a student is walking on campus or to nearby residential areas after dark, he or she needn't walk alone. Call the Safe Walk program at (970) 491-1155 or pick up one of the outdoor blue emergency/service phones located around campus.
� Don't use outside ATMs at night, or in unfamiliar or unsafe surroundings.
� If asked directions by a driver, keep a safe distance from the car.
� When friends drop you off at home or work, ask them to wait until you are safely inside before leaving.
� Approach with extreme caution any entryway where normal lighting is not functioning.

We did a post on 'Raising Strong Daughters' where we spoke to mums about raising strong daughters... and we also spoke to mums about raising boys who would respect girls. We have always maintained the Momsters is a 'Parenting Blog' and I'm not a 'Mommy' but a Parenting Blogger. Hence we decided to speak to a few dads on the topic.... and we got some amazing dads telling us what they feel.
We spoke to a few dads who have daughters. I asked them What are they doing to 'Raising Strong Daughters'

Apple's apparently got "big plans" for 2014 and it's looking like Tim Cook's words should be taken quite literally.
According to Digitimes (sometimes on the money, sometimes not), Apple's got a larger iPhone in the works - the 6-inch one we've already head about - and it's scheduled for launch in May 2014. Yup, that's just over four months away.
The same source also says that the handset will have a 20-nanometer processor built by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company.
Article continues below
Most-read articles
If this is legit, then that release date means we're most likely not looking at the iPhone 6 here but a new range of iPhone entirely. Sure, Apple pulled a fast one with the iPad 4, but considering this is a significantly more sizable phone it's unlikely that it will replace the current flagship.
The same report also states that Apple will release a 12.9-inch iPad "targeting North America's educational market" in October, which we'll go ahead and assume is the very same iPad Pro we've been hearing about.
However it does conflict with the previous iPad Pro release date rumour of "sometime early next year" that we heard just a few weeks ago.
That'll teach them
Apparently the tablet, said to be manufactured by Quanta Computer, was to have either a 12.9-inch or 13.3-inch panel - but the sources say that Apple is now more in favour of the smaller option.
Digitimes added that the "sources speculated" that, given the size, the larger iPad is "being considered as a substitute" to the 11-inch MacBook Air, meaning we could expect this to be one powerful super-sized tablet.
Again, replacing the standard iPad Air seems unlikely, so we'd expect the Pro to come in as a third product line in Apple's iPad category.

It may seem to you that SaaS CRM is the most prudent choice for your business but before you engage a SaaS service provider for the same following are few tips to keep in mind to make the most of your cloud CRM.
Read service agreement carefully: Increased demand for hosted CRM services has brought into many service providers to the market but no two of them have the same terms and conditions in their service-level agreement (SLA). Some providers may avoid making promises regarding uptime and availability of their services simply to avoid liability for the monetary loss of the user and thus, to avoid any legal complications.
Services offered: The SLA is a very important document as it spells out in tangible terms the services offered by the service provider, such as – data ownership, data security, technical support, downtime support and compensations, data recovery etc.
SaaS infrastructure: The SaaS provider's outage will prevent you from accessing your SaaS services. It can also affect efficient data recovery process in case of data loss. Lastly, sound infrastructural facility is a promise of successful deployment of their SaaS services. Yet, many companies fail to ask the crucial questions regarding infrastructural stability and modernity of the vendor. Ask questions such as –
- What infrastructure do you have?
- Where are the servers hosted?
- Do you have enough technical expertise to meet emergency situations?
- What CRM customizations do you offer?
- Is the data hosted at a single data center or at multiple locations?
Downtime adjustment: Most service providers don't recompense for business loss occurred due to outage, especially, if it occurs at middle of the night when no one notices it. Some vendors may credit a certain part of your upfront payment back to your account if certain conditions are met such as – the services were unavailable for a length of time or the vendor couldn't fix the problem satisfactorily. Before signing the contract the user may also ask the service provider the process of notifying an outage.
Costs: Companies implementing SaaS need to keep in mind that running a SaaS CRM may cost you more than running the software internally if you do not shop around. However, this cost is fixed and you'll not have to pay extra for maintenance and upgrading services. Meanwhile, inquire also about their subscription renewal policies, payment mode and payment options.
Security: When you are employing the services of a SaaS vendor you also need to keep in mind how you will recoup if your service provider goes out of business or their website goes down and accordingly you must devise a proper data recovery plan. Similarly, you need to investigate about their data security policies. It has often been discovered that SaaS providers fail to implement industry standard data security (firewall) mechanism.
CRM customization: Most of the companies are no longer looking at SaaS CRM as an individual service. For more comprehensive solution they are often looking at integrating ERP with their hosted CRM service. Check out if your vendor is capable of offering such CRM customization.
Transitioning to a virtualized environment is inevitable for companies to stay ahead in competition but they shouldn't rush to choose their SaaS vendors. If you have users who will access your CRM from offshore locations you must make sure that your SaaS provider has required global reach.

Midsize sedans and small crossovers dominate the list of North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists, released Wednesday.
For cars, the finalists are the Cadillac ATS, Ford Fusion and Honda Accord. In the truck category, the judges must choose their favorite from among the Ford C-Max, Mazda CX-5 and Ram 1500.
Michele Krebs, senior analyst for Edmunds.com and one of the 49 jurors, said the car category included a number of high-caliber competitors.
Other strong contenders, such as the BMW 3 Series, Dodge Dart and Nissan Altima, were notably absent from the finalists.
"This was one of the toughest years of judging that I have experienced," said Lindsay Brooke, senior editor of SAE Magazines and a member of the judging committee. "Accord and Fusion, in particular, are formidable contenders."
The finalists were revealed Wednesday at an Automotive Press Association lunch in Detroit. The winners will be announced Jan. 14 at the North American International Auto Show.
The award is coveted by automakers because it represents the collective assessment of veteran journalists who have test-driven vehicles for years.
The Fusion and Accord, which both went on sale this fall, feature new powertrain options.
Unlike the Accord, the Fusion offers a gasoline-electric hybrid version and eventually a plug-in hybrid package.
"We're always pleased when the Accord wins an accolade, but it's especially gratifying this year as we celebrate 30 years of manufacturing this industry-leading car in America," Honda said in a statement.
Ford has a finalist in both the car and truck categories for the fifth time in the last 10 years.
The ATS, a compact car launched earlier this year, represents Cadillac's long-anticipated offering in the entry-level luxury segment where it competes against such cars as the BMW 3 series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and Lexus IS.
"When you consider the mission -- to compete with the best in the world -- it makes the acclaim even more meaningful," said David Caldwell, a Cadillac spokesman.
Mark Phelan, Free Press auto critic and one of the judges, said improved fuel efficiency is a trend that runs across both the car and truck categories.
"All six vehicles use the latest engineering to get more from less," Phelan said. "Small, powerful engines; new transmissions; lightweight construction, and hybrid technology are changing the nature of the vehicles we drive."
The Ram 1500 is the first pickup to be named a finalist in the last two years.
It incorporates new technologies such as stop-start, an eight-speed transmission and voice-recognition software in what Chrysler calls its Uconnect infotainment system.
"I think the Ram is arriving with great timing, and I think it is going to pay huge dividends for Chrysler with gains in sales and market share," Krebs said.
The truck-competition has been dominated by small and midsize SUVs or the crossover segment, which is drawing a wave of new models.
The Ford C-Max arrived in dealerships only in the last two months, and Ford dealers sold about 4,800 of them in November. In the U.S., the C-Max only comes with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain, and next year, with the C-Max Energi, a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Most people in Vietnam never thought it would happen, but it has: Uber has arrived in the country today. The luxury transportation startup arrived in Bangkok in February, Beijing in April, and Jakarta in June. Now it'll reach Ho Chi Minh City in July. Uber's on track to roll out monthly in every major city across Asia.
Ho Chi Minh City is interesting because it is dominated by two major taxi companies: Mai Linh and Vinasun. In the past five to ten years, these two companies have flooded the city with their green branding and more reliable services than their smaller competitors. Uber will face resistance from these two incumbents whose drivers are also increasingly using two of Uber's local taxi app competitors: GrabTaxi and EasyTaxi.
Although the numbers cannot be verified definitively, some in the startup ecosystem believe that GrabTaxi is doing better than Easy Taxi as it has been executing a better discount and marketing strategy across Vietnam's two major cities. Now, the Malaysian upstart will have to contend with Uber's unique marketing techniques. As Uber's press release outlines, it's playfully matched up with local Vietnamese celebrities for the extra boost on the day of the launch:
Actresses Hong Anh and Chi Pu, singer Hoang Thuy Linh, and blogger Nicky Khanh Ngoc were the first to jump at the chance to try Uber out for a ride on the town. They downloaded the Uber app, and within 10 minutes, a luxurious Uber was able to whisk them away to a movie set, a recording studio, and a photo shoot. We'll let you figure out who went where.
We'll likely see more of this, just like how Uber offered lion dances in China and Singapore for Lunar New Year.
What does Uber's potential market look like?
The US$17 billion company expanded to over 100 countries worldwide, but the bulk of its revenues come from just five cities. In other words, Uber is clearly playing a very long-term game: it wants to get a foothold before its clones get too powerful. It has a long road ahead. Uber will face pushback from local taxi companies as well as encounter cultural quirks.
Cities like Ho Chi Minh have peculiar luxury car cultures. Most luxury black cars of the BMW and Mercedes variety are owned by the upper middle class and rich people of the big city. They own the cars but hire the drivers. These owners may not allow their drivers to make extra money on the side.
Yet Vietnam sorely needs logistical support, and Uber can help. Already, companies like Giao Hang Nhanh have grown to fill the holes, and companies like Lazada, The Gioi Di Dong, Tiki.vn, and others have invested heavily on their own logistics fleets.
If Uber founder Travis Kalanik's vision is really to bring Uber into other logistics categories like ice-cream delivery and flowers, the Vietnamese will welcome them with open arms. Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi, the nation's capital, both lack a train system despite desperately needing one. Again, Uber, GrabTaxi, and Easy Taxi are all easing that burden.

The importance of incorporation of employees
February 17, 2013 by admin
Filed under Getting Ahead
The importance of the incorporation of a new employee is often underestimated by organizations. The long term effects of the act are not always properly known and the pressure to own daily tasks takes precedence over new employees to supervise.
The training of new employees is an important part of an organization. Both for the organization and the new employee makes a good program for BREAK much benefit in the long term, they are faster and have more productive the right knowledge and experience. Yet the practice is often different and many new employees proverbial 'thrown into the deep, "or good guidance and a proper follow BREAK program is missing. New employees are all too often left to their fate.
New employees
A correct BREAK new employees is done preferably via a pre-prepared induction. This induction can be reduced to 1 A4 which the main issues are listed for the new employee, as the most important person to discover it, pedestrian schemes and inleeswerk. Proper training of new employees provides great benefits in the long term. Well-worked employees generally remain longer work within the organization.
Where can it go wrong?
During the application organizations devote much attention to the application process, letters are read, interviews are conducted and the potential new employee receives all the attention. At the moment the new employee then start within the organization, sometimes slackens this attention immediately. The daily work goes on and everyone is busy with their own work. Just like in a love relationship could be disastrous for the labor, the binding does not take place between the new employee and the organization. Research shows that when a new employee is insufficient at home within the first few weeks, they are relatively short stay in service.
What are the consequences
A new employee who is not properly incorporated (and therefore the bond may miss), the more likely he or she will leave within a shorter period. In the long run this will just extra work for the organization and reputational damage, instead of once to make time for an employee to work correctly. A study by Toine Al, author of the "Introduction Guide" shows that 1 in 25 employees resigned gives to his left because of the poor reception. Whereupon the employee, after the contract signed, the mass disappears and has no idea what he / she should do.
Tips for new employees to work correctly
Assign a "buddy" to, assigning a constant companion
A regular accompanist, also called a buddy, ensures that a new employee has foothold within the organization. The Buddy fits in well with the new job profile and employee is familiar with the executive tasks will be expected of the new employee. Addition is often advised to choose a buddy of equal age. The buddy introduces the new employee in all informal, such as lunches and culture within the organization. Also the regular conduct of evaluations may belong to a buddy mission, in conjunction with the manager.
Pay attention to the corporate
In principle, organizations often want to quickly switch to tasks and expected productivity of new employees. Try this, however, in the early weeks to minimize and limit yourself to a thorough explanation of the culture and organization. What does the organization, what are the values and how within the organization to deal with customers and complaints, are good examples of this. Discuss also the house rules and unwritten rules.

Lee Rainie lectures at FSU on Feb. 8 concerning the digital revolution in news media. / Michele Edmunds/Director FSU Photography Services
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Research Centers Internet and American Life Project, gave a lecture on Networked News at the Claude Pepper Center as a part of the Laird B. Anderson and Florence H. Ashby Lectureship on Public Policy Journalism last Friday.
Rainies lecture, like his book, Networked: The New Social Operating System, analyzed broadband, mobile and social networking data that tracks the progression of what he calls the digital revolution in news media. To illustrate the concept of neo-news, he recounted the story of an Applebees waitress in St. Louis who received a 10 percent tip from a customer who scrawled on the receipt: I give God 10 percent, why do you get 18? The story started as a post on Reddit and rapidly became international news. Rainie explained that we live in a world where networks, rather than institutions, can generate national news.
My argument today is that news has become networked in this way that social media now plays a role in expanding the definition of news, expanding the number of contributors to news, in informing traditional news organizations what they ought to cover and how they ought to cover it, Rainie said.
According to Rainie, in the last 12 years, the number of people with Internet at home has soared from zero to two-thirds of the population. At the end of last year, the number of people in the United States with wireless mobile subscriptions surpassed the number of people living here. The effect of these changes has led to a transformation in relationships and the way we use media and news.
People telling their stories enormously democratized media by having this many more voices, this many more sensibilities and this many more stories pitched into the media ecosystem, Rainie said. Its a contact sport when you read news as you react. Its portable, its constantly updated and always around you. Having a sense that its always around you changes consumption and habitsits a lot more personal.
Rainie says that 17 percent of people get no news on a typical day due to information overload; they wait for news to come to them. In contrast with the pre-internet age, he found that the obligation, responsibility and pleasure of individual news-gathering has dwindled.
Rachel Cushanick, an editing writing and media major, was studying abroad in London during the 2012 election season. She relied on social media to keep her abreast of political issues when international coverage did not suffice. Cushanick questions the effect of social media on her academics.
When it comes to Facebook and Tumblr, I find it very distracting for my homework and sometimes I wonder what the point of Facebook is, said Cushanick. So I wonder why Im on it and I question that so I always find myself wondering if I should even have these accounts.
Senior Lauren Leferink is interested in studying the general effects of the media on society. She acknowledges the positive aspects of increased connectivity, but fears for the next generation.
The lecture was very insightful about the future, said Leferink. It made me think a lot about where we have come from and where we are going. I dont have a Twitter account and I kind of feel like Im being left behind. I feel very pressured to learn all of it and keep up with it all.

For the Pathfinder
April 20, 2000
Seeley Swan Pathfinder
Seeley Lake, Montana
Conditions of the roads in Seeley and on Woodworth Road dominated a lot of the Community Council meeting held April 17th. County Surveyor Horace Brown attended the Council meeting, and he said that while he understands the frustration of Seeley residents, without more funding the road conditions are not going to get better.
Cyd Kats, who lives on Woodworth Road, and Diane Bourne, owner of the school buses that travel Woodworth, complained about the condition of Woodworth road and said the road was destroying vehicles and the buses.
Kats said she has driven Woodworth Road since 1976 and has never seen it in as bad of shape as it is now.
"What are the people supposed to do about their vehicles?" she asked. "The Powell County part of Woodworth isn't like that. Now there's been (rock) spikes in the road for three weeks. It's like they (the county employees) are saying 'If you keep complaining, it will get worse."
Brown said that the employees would not make things worse just because people complain, and if they did they wouldn't be working for Missoula County.
He added that if anyone has a complaint about a county employee they should contact him by calling (406) 721-5700, extension 3275, e-mailing at email@example.com or writing to him at 200 W. Broadway, Missoula, MT 59802.
He went on to say that in the past he has tried to get legislation passed to allow alternatives to getting roads fixed but his proposals never made it through committee.
"We're one man short in Seeley and three men short in Missoula," Brown said. "Things are bound to get worse unless the legislature changes things. We can't do everything the public is asking for. We don't have the funding."
Sam Bolton complained about the chuck holes on Riverview and other streets in Seeley.
"I've lived here about 11 years, and the road maintenance in this area has gone downhill a lot," he said. "I don't want to be unfriendly, but enough is enough. What are we going to have to do to?"
Brown said, "We haven't got enough money."
Bolton said, "That's not a good enough answer. We need to know what we need to do to change the situation. There's got to be a way."
Brown said until I-105 is repealed, there was nothing he could do. (I-105 holds taxes at the 1986 level). He said that he also tried to pass an additional mill levy and it was voted down 80 to 20. He said that without more money, nothing could be improved.
Council Chairman Dave Spence suggested that Horace work closely with local residents so he could gain support for either future legislation or another try at an increase in the mill levy.
Another issue Brown addressed is the walkway along Highway 83. He said that the project for Highway 83 includes a plan for trails along the highway, and part of the trail will require additional right-of-way. (The slope needed for a portion of the trail at the south end of Seeley increased the footage needed to complete that part of the plan. This is not the portion of highway planned for this summer. The owners of the property in which the right-of-way will be needed will be contacted.)
In other business, Council member Cheri Thompson announced that the Council will not ask for additional funding for budget year July 2000 to June 2001, because the projected costs for 2000-2001 can be covered by the remaining balance in the Council's account.
The Seeley Lake Skateboard Club presented its plan for a skateboard park in Seeley Lake. Members Chris Niles, Robert Wehern and Ely Sheets told the Council members that the club, which was formed in November of 1999, has completed much of the preliminary work for the plans of the park.
The park will be located at the Seeley Lake Grade School. Deer Creek Excavating's owner Gary Lewis is donating the excavation work and the gravel needed to prepare the site for paving has been donated. The club has submitted grant requests to both Blackfoot Telephone and Missoula Electric.
The club members said that an article detailing the plans would be submitted to the Pathfinder in May.
The Council is gathering a list of volunteers throughout the community. A majority of Seeley Lake's activities are made possible by local volunteers, and the Council would like to acknowledge them. If you would like to supply names of volunteers in the community, please contact Kay at 677-2200.
The Council agreed to give $100 to the Seeley Lake Volunteer Fire Department's sign program to help low income residents get an address sign for their property. The Fire Department has already put $100 into the program, and would like to encourage anyone who does not have an address to call the department at 677-2400.
The next Council meeting will be held on May 15th at 7 p.m. at the Seeley Lake Fire Hall. The agenda items for next month's meeting include: Comprehensive Plan, Volunteer List, Trails.

Barack Obama Breaking News: Obama Tours Prison Where Nelson Mandela Toiled
June 30, 2013 9:40 AM Wochit
President Barack Obama toured South Africa's Robben Island, where former South African President Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in a tiny cell as a political prisoner. President Barack Obama met privately with relatives of critically ill anti-apartheid leader Nelson Mandela in the midst of a three-nation tour through Africa. Hundreds of South African demonstrators clashed with police outside of the Soweto campus of the University of Johannesburg before a planned appearance by President Obama. Between 150 to 200 demonstrators held signs that depicted the President as Hitler, and demanded that the United States lift trade sanctions against Cuba. Scuffles broke out between the demonstrators and police as they stood across the road from the university.

This is Portabliss, a column about downloadable games that can be played on the go.XCOM: Enemy Unknown seems like it was built for iPad. The touch-screen controls on the iOS port are so good that the game feels like it was lovingly crafted specifically for touch devices from the get-go.
These controls are easily the highlight of the iOS version of XCOM (which also runs on the iPhone, by the way). With a redesigned HUD full of chunky buttons, completing actions in the game is a cinch. I actually prefer the touch scheme to wielding a controller. It's a simpler, more intuitive process, and the meat of the game is every bit as good as its console and PC counterparts.%Gallery-191738% Soldiers run where you tap; a pinch zooms the camera in and out. A pair of buttons in the corner switch between floors on a map, making it easy to rain fire down on street-level Sectoids from the safety of a rooftop. Another set of buttons let you rotate the camera at will. It all feels very natural, and never for a moment did I stop and question how to perform an intended action.
The only downside to the controls is that sometimes it's hard to select a specific spot when moving a unit; sometimes it'll select the spot right next to where you intended. You still have to confirm your actions though, so you won't have to worry about accidentally dashing into the arms of a Muton Berserker.
Apart from multiplayer, which is coming later, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the full experience on iOS. It's all there: base construction, research management, UFO combat and, of course, the nail-biting ground confrontations – everything. If you missed out on the console and PC versions, the iOS port is an excellent option and heartily recommended if you have the 3.2GB of free space necessary. Outside of pared down graphics and a noticeably lower kill camera frequency, this is the XCOM: Enemy Unknown that we all know and love.
At $20, it's a hard sell for those who have already played Firaxis' brilliant reboot on another platform. For everyone else, 20 bucks gets you one of the best games of 2012 in a slick, portable package.
This review is based on an iOS download of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, provided by 2K Games. It's available June 20 on iTunes for $20.

CLAYTON, Mo. (AP) The Missouri National Guard has completed its departure from Ferguson, Missouri, where the citizen-soldiers were summoned to help quell unrest after the fatal police shooting of Michael Brown.
Missouri Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson announced the move Wednesday afternoon at a press conference. He was joined by St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson and County Chief Jon Belmar.
The move came six days after Gov. Jay Nixon announced the Guard would gradually depart from the St. Louis suburb. The state Highway Patrol and St. Louis County police will continue to oversee security in Ferguson, where officer Darren Wilson shot Brown on Aug. 9.
Earlier Wednesday, Nixon appointed former St. Louis police chief Daniel Isom II as the state's public safety director. He becomes Missouri's only black Cabinet member.

Jack dies
Really should have stopped with Scorpia.
Anthony Horowitz has made another great book to the Alex Rider series. In this book, Alex Rider is working for the Australian ASIS which basically the rough equivalent of the M16 for Great Britain. Alex Rider has to see how the snakeheads illegally immigrate people to other countries. This time Alex is going against Scorpia the criminal group which was responsible for the death of both his parents. Alex has to pretend to be an Afganistan boy who is getting illegally transported to Australia. He also meets someone in his family. His godfather but at the end of the book he makes a shocking discovery about him. Alex has to stop a bomb that was developed in Great Britain nicknamed "Royal Blue". A executive of Scorpia has decided to use the bomb to make a massive tsunami which will kill thousands of people. It is up to the teenage spy Alex Rider to save many lives. You have to read the book to find out if Alex Rider will save the world again or not!
This review has been crossposted from my blog Review from The Cosy Dragon Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me.
Twists, turns and family dramas. Alex Rider is embroiled in another job that is custom made for him. I often wonder what will happen to him when he grows up... or whether he ever will.
If the bad guys ever learnt not to gloat, and to shoot first, then Alex Rider would be in trouble. Instead they like to create creative ends for him, which he always manages to wriggle out of. It's pretty close though, as a reader I'm almost always on the edge of my seat. I'm both hoping and dreading reaching the end of the series, as Alex's luck could finally run out!
Alex has abandoned any attempt to be normal, and seems to be finally embracing the spy life. He's not a patriot, he's doing it only to find out what has happened to his mom and dad. Little does he know that he's doomed from the beginning, and almost everything he trusts is a lie.
Something that fascinates me is Horowitz's realistic settings, and the effort he puts into being international. This is the first time he has really included Australia, which is totally typical of most writers. Australia is more of a destination than an explored place. Horowitz is very creative in the way he kills off the characters. It's a mark of the research he obviously puts into his writing - I really appreciate it, after reading such things as 'Twilight' where things aren't really thought out.
Thrilling, in fact I'd say it was one of the better books of the series. It was a little longer in length (or it felt that way). Horowitz puts his trademark twists in, as well as some gadgets, and some very nice disguises. What the reader thinks is a simple job, really never is.
I'd recommend this for teens who enjoy action. At this point in the series, I think it is essential to have read the books that came before. This book picks up straight after 'Ark Angel'.
"Alex Rider brings readers to the edge of their seats and keeps them there until the final pages."

When Alex Rider crash-lands off the coast of Australia, the Australian Secret Service recruits him to infiltrate one of the ruthless gangs operating across Southeast Asia. Known as snakeheads, the gangs smuggle drugs, weapons, and worst of all, people. Alex accepts the assignment, in part for the chance to work with his godfather and learn more about his parents. What he uncovers, however, is a secret that will make this his darkest and most dangerous mission yet . . . and the knowledge that his old nemesis, Scorpia, is anything but out of his life.

Acer pegs Windows 7 launch for October 23
updated 02:40 pm EDT, Thu April 30, 2009
Acer Says Windows 7 Oct 23
Acer today potentially spoiled Microsoft's Windows 7 launch plans by revealing a launch date for the operating system. The PC builder now says to Pocket-lint that the OS will be available on October 23rd and come in time for a new all-in-one nettop from Acer, the Z5600, to come preloaded with the software. Systems will also ship as early as late September for a hands-on experience, and those who buy a system 30 days before Windows 7 releases will get a free upgrade to the new platform.
The date would come slightly after Compal's claimed September release but still has the finished Windows 7 shipping well ahead of Microsoft's publicly stated goal of early 2010. The company has readily admitted a shortened release schedule with just a single main beta and a just-released lone release candidate but has been reluctant to acknowledge a widely recognized attempt to ship Windows 7 for the holidays.
Multiple factors should render a 2009 launch of Windows 7 essential for Microsoft. The company posted its first revenue drop in 23 years just last week based largely on resistance to Vista from businesses and some home users. It will likewise have to compete with Mac OS X Snow Leopard's release later this year.

Cave lodge, kayaking and caving, anyone interested?

Hi all,
We are heading to Cave lodge in Sop pong (Pang Mapha) 15 February 2010 to 19 February and we were wondering if there's anyone out there that wants to form a group to do kayaking and caving. Because we are only two people so far, we need 4 more. We want to do the 2 day kayaking trip.
We are also going to do the rafting through Tham Nam Lod (Lod Cave). 300 000 Swifts(birds) fly into the cave at sunset. Its a world phenomena.
If you don't know what to do in Chiang Mai yet click the link.
Its a 4 hour scenic drive by minivan (250Baht) down to Soppong. The trips are organized and ran by an Australian.
Very cheap lodging rate at Cave lodge as well.

If you can't rustle up a group beforehand, you shouldn't have many probs getting one together at cave Lodge -- it is a popular spt.

We're going to be up at cave lodge from the 6th-9th of Feb, looks like good fun!
Shall try and let you know how it goes, hadn't considered the two day kayaking but it looks like it could be pretty exciting. We're certainly keen to do some kayaking and a bit of cycling/exploring the surrounding area.
Enjoy your trip!

We'll be at Cavelodge from the 9th-11th Feb, and sure want to do some kayaking but not two days, though it sounds like great fun! Time is just too short to do all the great stuff around there.

Hi Lucky13 and Dutchgirl!
How are you guys getting to Soppong? by minibus and motorbike taxi?
Did you guys make reservations already for next year at Cave lodge because we tried but John told us to let him know next year again.
Hope you guys enjoy the trip!

Hi Louw,
I think if we can organise it we will try to get a minivan or car, but otherwise I understand that normal buses go to Soppong, so we'll jump on one of those, and then a motorcycle taxi.
I had originally emailed John a while ago and he had just said to give him a couple of days warning from Chiang Mai, as that time of year is busier. However now that our plans are a bit more sure, I've emailed him and asked for a room to be reserved, which didn't seem to be a problem. I also figured that was the best way to make sure we got the room we wanted- a 390B one.
I think it is the sort of place where they would always manage to fit you in somewhere if you showed up, but sure it equally doesn't hurt to book and just let them know if plans change.

Hi Louw,
I just started a new topic, where I tell that we'll go by rental car to Cave Lodge. We rented a big Ford Ranger at North Wheels in Chiang Mai. Driving to Doi Inthanon/Mae Chaem first, and next day to Cave Lodge (if that's possible).
I also sent John an email, because although I trust his word that he always has room, I rather not sleep in a dorm. So I asked for a bungalow and hope he will reply before February. If not, I call him from Chiang Mai.

After my experience at the Cave lodge I agree that it is the best to reserve desired bungalow in advance. Sure John said that they'll always find a place for you but if you prefer to have a bungalow with own shower, reserve it.
A word of advice: the communication via email with them is not very useful, generally the answer we were getting when asking about different activities was: talk to our staff once you arrive. Well that was not really helpful when we had limited time there. we were interested in caving, so if that's something you wish to do, they run 3 caving programs, there is a minimum of 4-5 people per trip, if you do not find that many you pay for them. Which was our case, but we were glad we opted to do so as the caving was great. Bring your own headlamp, the one (2 actually) provided by Cave lodge did not last very long and it was very useful to have my own.
Their operation is a bit disorganized (or may have been due to the fact John was gone and it was run by someone else at the time of our visit).
If you wish to do a certain activity the following day, make sure you reserve it day ahead and double check they arrange it.
We requested to use their bikes a night before only to be provided with useless bikes, empty wheels, broken wires to the speed change wires in the morning at the time we wanted to leave. So we spent at least an hour trying to pump an air into all 4 of them, testing them to find out that 2 out of 4 were not working.

(1) The way these images look has nothing to do with the remastering process. This is how they were filmed. Just take a look at the DVD screen captures.
(2) By the way, I should also warn you that hotlinking as you did is frowned upon. That's why I removed the IMG tags from your quoted post.
(1) In principle I know and agree with that. Anyhow, when I compare the DVDs (playing on my computer) with the BD (on my TV) I get the impression that this light contrast is even bigger on BD than on DVD. I am just saying, I don't like these intentional shadowings in Season 1.
(2) What do you mean with hotlinking? I am not sure what you mean. (I guess it is "direct showing the images in the post"???)

23 Oct-10 Nov 2010. Belle spent 17 days on the western shore of Lake
Maracaibo, in northwestern Venezuela, just 40 mi (67 km) north of Buck's
I thought she might stay there, but she took off on Nov
10th, bound for more southerly latitudes.
[This has nothing to do with our Ospreys, but it's
pretty cool: In this Google Earth map, satellite imagery from NASA has
been overlain on Lake Maracaibo showing the extent of an enormous bloom
of duckweed back in 2004. The Venezuelan government was spending $2
million/month dealing with it. Not sure what the outcome was, but there
seem to be no links after 2004, so I guess they cleared it up.]
Below is the Wikipedia entry for Lake Maracaibo.
Lake Maracaibo
is a large brackish
in Venezuela. It
is connected to the Gulf of Venezuela by Tablazo Strait (55km) at the
northern end, and fed by numerous rivers, the largest being the
Catatumbo. It is
commonly considered a lake rather than a bay or lagoon, and at 13,210
km� it would be the largest lake in South America. The geological record
shows that it has been a true lake in the past, and as such is one of
the oldest lakes on Earth, it's 20-36 million years old.
9-11 Nov 2010. Lake Maracaibo lies in a basin flanked to the west by
the Cordillera Oriental (the Eastern Range) of the Andes, and to the
south by the Cordillera de Merida.
To get further south on the continent, an Osprey has to cross over two
mountain ranges, as described in the Wikipedia entry below:
The Cordillera de
M�rida is a series of
mountain ranges, or massif, in northwestern Venezuela. The Cordillera de
Merida is a northeastern extension of the Andes Mountains. The ranges
run southwest-northeast between the Venezuelan-Colombian border and the
Venezuelan coastal range.

Road restrictions may stop quarry construction in Kentucky
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On May 20, 2013 @ 2:17 pm In Aggbeat Online,News | No Comments
The Franklin City Commission in Kentucky on Monday unanimously adopted an ordinance restricting the type of vehicle traffic that can travel on Kenneth Utley Drive/Ditmore Ford Road, which may prevent Charles Deweese Construction from constructing a rock quarry nearby, Bowling Green Daily News reported [2].
The ordinance allows only residential traffic, recreational traffic on Ditmore Ford Road to and from the community park and noncommercial traffic to use the road. The ordinance grants exceptions for licensed waste haulers, school buses and other heavy vehicles exempted through certain state laws.
Penalties for violators will include up to $500 fines or up to 90 days in jail.
Deweese last year proposed a quarry on Ditmore Ford Road, where the company owns 87.67 acres of land. The quarry would be used to mine rock for use in road and agricultural projects.
Shortly after proposing the quarry, the Franklin-Simpson Zoning Board of Adjustment granted the company a conditional-use permit.
However, Deweese has since been unable to obtain state state permits from the Department of Natural Resources due to efforts, such as last week's ordinance, to limit traffic on the road.
The ordinance follows the formation of "Neighbors Against the Quarry," a group of residents near the proposed quarry site who argue Ditmore Ford Road cannot handle heavy trucks such as those that would regularly enter and exit the quarry site. The group has also expressed concern about how blasting and quarry dust will affect Drakes Creek, located nearby.
American Engineers in Glasgow has evaluated the road and last year concluded that current conditions–like pavement conditions, narrow width and inadequate support for crossing Drakes creek–on Ditmore Ford Road will prevent the road from supporting commercial traffic.
Deweese officials said the quarry is necessary for the company to compete for highway construction projects and help the local economy.
