Stephen "ESPO" Powers' "Love Letter to Syracuse": A videoJuxtapoz // Wednesday, 10 Nov 2010
Has there been anyone in American art in the past year who has more fun and worked as hard as Stephen "ESPO" Powers? He gets to create his own commentary and dialog with the world, done in building sized pieces, and he is being asked to do it. And better yet, Powers is really good at it.
We just published the photo above in the current November issue of Juxtapoz, shot by Adam Wallacavage, from ESPO's "Love Letter to Syracuse" project he did this past Summer. On the heels of his "A Love Letter For You" mega-project in Philadelphia last year, "Syracuse" again shows Powers' humor, wit, and world class skill.
A short film was created and directed by Faythe Levine and Samuel Macon for Powers' "Love Letter to Syracuse." A good afternoon watch.

The nation is facing a historic fiscal/budget crisis. So what does Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner, do? He sends the House on a week-long vacation! "Vacation?" Oh that's not the right word. It is properly called the "home district work period."
Nevertheless, the so-called "work period" just means your representative - Amash or Walberg or Upton - goes back to Michigan and then holds no public townhall meetings in the district! These congressmen lie low during the vacation. So much for democracy. And, by the way, no matter how poorly our inept congressmen perform, they are guaranteed re-election through the magic of extreme gerrymandering. A great system.
In the 2012 Congress, the House was in session only about 130 days. For 2013, Speaker Boehner has scheduled the House for only 126 days. So the House will keep its ultra lazy two weeks on, one week off schedule. Regarding our urgent and dire budget problems, the Republicans in D.C. have been strangely quiet
The Republicans love to talk about how "guvmint is too big" and "guvmint spends too much" but getting a specific suggestion to reduce spending out of them is near impossible. I suspect that Republicans don't want to talk about cutting Social Security or Medicare because many Republicans (and independents) like, need, or receive money from these programs.
The other large government program - the Pentagon/defense spending of around $700 billion a year, give or take $50 billion - is popular among Republicans and provides jobs and economic stimulus.
The Republicans have been throwing money at defense for years: Army, Navy, Air Force, CIA, NSA, Halliburton, and Blackwater subcontractors. And G. W. Bush's ill-fated war in Iraq just got done costing us a cool $1 trillion.
So goes the Banana Republic, USA.

As she stood on the doorstep and reached to ring the bell, she wondered who would open the door and why she had been summoned here. Before her hand could drop to her side, the door opened and there stood Dora.
She knew Dora. Saw her often. Out in her yard. Raking, planting, weeding, shoveling. Off and on, year round. She and Dora were familiar. Spoke easily if only occasionally. About all kinds of small things, often the weather to start. She liked Dora, what she knew of her.
Dora smiled at her before turning her head to look down at a girl standing beside her. Youngish. Not yet an adolescent. Or smallish if she was. Blurred, somehow. Wispy. Not her physical self. Which was solid. Not fat. Not big or heavy. Just -- solid somehow. It was her being, or the sense of herself she projected that seemed blurred somehow.
Without a word or a look the girl moved past her, rather gracelessly, going quickly down the steps, heading around the house without looking back.
Dora smiled a smile that turned to a grimace, saying that the girl, Thilea, had asked specifically for Leanne.
"She wanted you. Well, she said the girl next door. T'other side of us is Doc McNally, so I knew it was you she meant. Your Mum said you're not in school just now. It's nice enough weather out. The back, around there, goes all the way down to the river. Figure that's where she's heading. Spends lots of her time outside. But always alone, her. Asking for you surprised me, it really did. She's not much for people. But if you can spare an hour or three, mebbe every day? Or if that's too often, every other day? For the summer, like. Just to keep her company. I don't know what she's got in mind. Your Mum told me your usual babysitting fee and I'll gladly pay that. I mean, she's not a baby, but...?"
Leanne nodded her understanding, wondering why her mother had only told her to come to Dora's not why or what for. The girl interested her. And time was heavy on her hands now. Her part-time job had petered out and school was out for the summer. Why not try it? Very handy, right next door and all.
So she nodded again, thrusting her hands deep in her jumper pockets. Said it was okay for today anyway. For a few hours. To see how it went. Whether or not they could get along...?
Dora nodded, smiling broadly herself, and saying it was grand of her, to go right around now, and telling her she had only to knock at the back if she needed anything, adding she'd be bringing out drinks and something to nibble on when the sun got over a bit. Then closed the door.
Leanne stood there a minute longer. Odd, she thought. Very odd. But that was what made it interesting. She set off around the house, making her way to the gate in the waist-high fence that closed in the back garden and the property beyond. Where the girl stood. Unmoving. As if in attendance. Waiting.
But before Leanne could reach the gate, the girl had slipped the latch and let herself in, opening the gate and sliding through before pushing it wide, against its spring, and then letting go for Leanne catch if she could and let her own self through. Which Leanne did, handily, but again with that frisson of strangeness that always signals something intriguing is afoot, even as it seems to be warning against or of something else. Something other.
The back of the house was a surprise to Leanne. From her house, in spring and summer and even in fall, there were only branches and leaves of the many trees to be seen. Also in those seasons, in and around, one could spy lilacs and hydrangeas, Queen Anne's Lace and rhododendron and many others, some just green and not blooming and others blooming growths, all burgeoning and standing tall in their growing seasons. But Leanne saw that even though winter's skeleton trees seemed to show the whole of the back of Dora's house, all seeming normal enough, she now could see an almost head-high hedge standing against the fencing between her house and Dora's, as if guarding the view from full sight. An odd thing, as she had never noticed it before. Only now, standing inside and looking about, could she see what had been kept secret -- the reality of what lay within the yard and the lawns and the garden beds.
The grounds were large. She could see now how large they were, separated into lawned spaces and closed gardens and guarded - there was that word again - it seemed by trees both young and ancient, some of a kind she had never seen before, with small stone towers or single large stones and birdbaths, trellises and arbors, and winding pathways that left and re-entered. In fact, the whole seemed more spacious and magical than was logical or possible.
But Leanne saw that the girl was seated cross-legged on the ground beside a heavy iron slatted bench. Leanne hurried to her, seating herself first before saying a hello to the top of the girl's head as the girl did not move to look up or to greet or indeed to give any apparent notice of Leanne's arrival. But then, after some moment's hesitation, in which Leanne had decided to await upon her strange hostess's pleasure, she did look up. Leanne saw wide grey eyes that made all other details about the girl and her face disappear. Staring straight into Leanne's eyes, she spoke one word.
"Stump," she said.
Leanne leaned forward, putting her arms on her thighs and clasping her hands at her knees.
"Stump?" she asked. "What stump?"
It took a silent ten or so minutes, the girl-child plucking grass and blowing it away, Leanne watching. Then, with a shift of her small buttocks, the girl chanced another, single word. Turning first to lock eyes again.
"Me," she said.
The girl did not shift her gaze from Leanne's and so the two continued to look at one another. Leanne knew she was staring, while the girl was calmly gazing at something. Something somewhere. Either deep inside herself or reflected in Leanne's eyes. She could not tell which.
Wondering what or how this child-girl might be encouraged to speak more -- not so much for the girl, who seemed quite at home with her miserly speech, just as she seemed to be with silence and certainly with herself -- but for Leanne, whose curiosity was now fully aroused, along with a growing feeling of sympathy, though she didn't know for what, exactly. But she sat silent, copying the girl and wondering what in the world.
Another fifteen or so minutes passed silently. The child attempted to weave grass blades together, but they always tore. Dogged, she returned to her attempts again and again. Meanwhile Leanne half thought and half dozed, finding pleasure in the sun's warmth, the smell of grass and growing, and in the oddities of everything else.
Finally rousing herself, feeling it was somehow up to her to begin again, she spoke without real thought the thing that was foremost in her mind.
"How so, 'Stump'?"
The girl picked up her head to gaze at her, unperturbed. Only after a bit longer did she shift that gaze, looking now it seemed down off the nearest pathway. When she did speak again, Leanne was caught off guard. The girl-child's voice, Leanne realized, was low pitched. Not unmusical in tonality.
"I'm dumb," she announced with a finality so flat and so matter of fact it was hard not to accept it as simple truth. The same way one reacts to someone announcing, flatly and without affect, the obvious fact that the sky is up.
Yet, Leanne very much doubted it. Once again, she stared at this odd child seated beside her. She wondered why this person had asked for her in particular. She thought it could be because they were both of the same sex. It could hardly be their ages. She herself was almost 17. Would be completing her secondary education this coming year. And this unfinished if very adult-seeming child could not be more than 10 or so. So what was it? Might it be as simple as loneliness and that she lived right next door? But there was more, and she wondered what it was. She, the child, seemed perfectly content with this no-talk what? Meeting? Hardly that. Not in any meaningful way. Well then what was this? What was she doing sitting here gazing at a young person who was happy to ignore her, giving her one and two words, at best? Sitting here was right. Must be almost three-quarters of an hour and they'd exchanged what? 9 words? Five of hers and four of the girls?
Mentally Leanne was scratching her head and heard her inner voice tell her that that was right, that was the place to start, from scratch. Shrugging slightly, well-used to this slightly cracked sense of humor, still she was silent for several more long moments, observing this very 'other' girl-child who did not move a muscle but sat as if rooted. Finally, at a loss for a better idea, Leanne did as told and started where the girl-child had left her.
"Dumb as in what?" she asked.
"As in dumb," came the answer.
"No," Leanne replied. "That won't do. You must define 'dumb'."
Now the small person next to her did move. Rising quickly to her feet she stood and turned to face Leanne, bending slightly as she was the taller now if only by just a bit, in order to speak at her.
"Stupid," was all she said.
Snapped it, really. But in speed, not anger. Then sank back down, sitting in front of Leanne, with legs pulled up so her chin rested on her knees. She was wearing a long skirt, yanked down as far as it could go. Not quite long enough to cover the white ankle socks with scalloped cuffs that sat modestly above a pair of saddle shoes that looked ancient to Leanne. Not like the current sleek styles. Much older, more common, with their thick red rubber soles, and yet more attractive, too. A bit like this child. This young-old girl-child.
Leanne took a deep breath. "That's not the only meaning for 'dumb' you know. It's not even it's first meaning."
The girl wouldn't look up. Kept her head lowered and didn't speak. All right, thought Leanne, two can play at this game.
Standing up abruptly, she started down the nearest path, speaking without looking back.
"Think I'll go down to the river and toss some pebbles. See if I can skip one, make it bounce. I can do seven bounces when the stone is nice and flat and I throw exactly right."
Leanne had no idea where the path led that she'd started down or if it led anywhere at all but back upon itself. She was startled but gratified to feel her hand grabbed by a much smaller but commanding one and to feel herself being yanked back while hearing the young determined seeming girl-child speak, and in more than three words this time.
"You won't get there that way. That way only goes to the lily ponds," she said, adding, "and the dumb carp."
Leanne obligingly spun about to follow the short-stepped but determined stride of the girl, now in front of her and moving away quickly. I wonder, she asked herself, does she mean carp are stupid? Or does she know the first meaning of 'dumb' is to be without speech. Mute. But she had to hurry because though the younger girl was smaller, she was fast on her feet and Leanne had no wish to be lost in this maze-like place of garden beds and trees and shrubs. Catching sight again of the stiffened shoulders and straight back ahead of her, she hurried to catch up. Placing her hand on the child's shoulder while keeping step with her and bending low to speak directly into her ear she said,
"The first meaning of dumb is to be without words. To be mute. In fact, unable to speak."
There was a twitch. A definite tug on the line.
"Like the carp."
And was satisfied to see the head switch upwards and feel the laser-like gaze of grey eyes before the head turned away again. No spoken reaction. Leanne reached to catch and hold the young girl's hand. Feeling instant resistance, she began at once to swing their barely clasped hands lightly and risked asking a question. A longer, more complex question this time.
"Do you think whoever calls you Stump and says you're dumb would be able to understand what you are saying if you were to walk right up, plant yourself in their face, and say that you are not dumb, you are not mute -- do you think that person would get it?"
She added, to emphasize her point, "You know. Mute as a stump."
There was a flicker there, she was sure. Something was getting through. Somehow. Trouble was, she had no idea what or how. Keep at it, she told herself. Do some more scratching. The hand wiggled free, but there was no flight, only a determined stance. And silence.
She tried once more. "Stump?"
This time she waited patiently for acknowledgment. When it came, it was only after long minutes in which the child had dragged first one toe and then the other through the longer grass to force a rough bending of blades, first one way and then the other, first one foot and then the other, toe pointed, back and forth, like a scythe. And when it came it was only a sharp glance, thrown so quickly that if Leanne hadn't been studying her she'd have missed it. So, she thought to herself, the child was listening. Good.
"Do you think, Stump," she asked, persistent now, "that the person who calls you Stump and says you're dumb would be smart enough to know what you are saying when you say you are not mute?"
She waited a bit and then added, "Or - is that person - well - too thick to understand?"
She waited a bit more and then inquired further, "You do know what 'thick' means, don't you?"
She caught a hand and held it as lightly as she would a fallen nestling. And was pleased to feel a sudden quick tightening of the hand before it was removed, not abruptly or roughly, but gently, if completely, and then to hear the low, not unmusical voice answer.
"Yeah. I do. She's not thick. And I'm not."
After a beat, "Not stupid. But I am Stump. My name now. I've taken it as mine."
Leanne laughed. Stopped where she stood and laughed. She was still laughing when she heard an almost-giggle response. She stamped both feet and danced in a small circle, suddenly seeing the girl-child had paused all action herself and was goggling at Leanne. Who stopped then, and smiled at Stump.
Then decided that yes, she was going to call this girl by that name until there was reason not to. Reason given her by Stump herself. So she clapped her hands and said, "Well, I've changed my mind, Stump. Let's you and me go back and see if Dora's brought out something cold to drink and something sweet to eat. Then we can decide if we want to go practice skipping stones this day or another day. I'm thirsty, I am. Aren't you? "
And was turning away, saying, "But I'm not waiting, so you'd better stir your stumps, Stump!"
And then, for the second time that afternoon, felt a surge of secret delight as her hand was taken and she heard the voice beside her say, "Yeah, okay."
"Then let's race," she said, dropping the small hand and, without waiting for an answer, setting off at a trot, back up the path towards the outlined rooftops showing above the trees. This, she thought, this is going to be a most interesting summer.

Running has grown in popularity as a way to get in shape that requires no gym membership or intensive skill training. As running increases in popularity so does participation in triathlons, road races, and marathons. These challenges have many people lacing up their sneakers and hitting the road or treadmill a little too hard at times. Pushing too hard or just the basic wear and tear of running can cause nagging injuries. Taking care of injuries and resting from activity that caused the injury is important, although somewhat frustrating for someone in training for a big race. Prevention is the ideal approach but it is not clear what the best prevention steps are.
Analysts from the Cochrane Database assessed outcomes of several studies that reviewed injury prevention in runners. The review, published in Cochrane databases, found little evidence to support or refute current options to reduce lower limb injuries in runners.
A systematic review is a collection of similar trials that increases the reliability of results by creating a large pool of participants. This review included 25 randomized trials with 30,252 participants. Participants included military recruits in 19 trials, prisoners in two trials, referees in one trial, and runners from the general population in three trials. The trials compared approaches for prevention of lower leg injuries including exercises, modification of training, use of foot or knee orthotics, and footwear and sock choices.
Stretching and other preventative exercises were not found to be effective in reducing lower leg injuries in eight trials.
Conclusions came from single studies limiting reliability. Two trials found that decreased frequency or duration of running may decrease injury but the trials were of poor quality and were done in prisoners so the results may not apply to runners in general.
Knee braces were found to reduce pain in the front of the knee in two trials. Only one out of five trials looking at shoe insoles found a benefit from wearing them. No trials showed that customized foot orthotics were more effective than off-the-shelf orthotics.
Running shoes suited for individual foot shape were not found to be more effective than standard running shoes at decreasing rate of lower leg injury.
Most approaches were only evaluated by few trials, often only one trial. In addition, many of the trials were also considered to be low quality, decreasing their reliability. As a result, these conclusions are considered very weak, and no firm conclusions could be drawn from this review.
This review shows that there is a lack of enough information to make firm recommendations on what to use and what not to use to prevent injuries in runners. There is enough information, however, to make you think twice before purchasing specialized and often expensive devices. The strongest evidence was for common sense recommendations. Decreasing duration and frequency of running will decrease chance of lower leg injuries. Overuse injuries are common with any repeated activity. You may want to consider decreasing the number of days you run and adding other activities to your routine (cross training). This will help you reach your fitness goals but give your body a break from running rigors.

Faculty receive extramural support for their research, training and public service projects through two principal mechanisms: sponsored projects and gifts. Extramural sponsors and donors provide these funds to the University, relying on the expertise of University personnel to properly classify them. Proper classification ensures good stewardship and maximizes the benefits that can accrue to both sponsor/donor and the University. The following guidelines should be followed in categorizing gifts and sponsored project funds.
A sponsored project may be thought of as a transaction in which there is a specified statement of work with a related, reciprocal transfer of something of value. A sponsored project may support University activities including but not limited to research, training, instruction, public service and construction. Any funding provided by U.S. government agencies, at the federal, state, or local level is treated as sponsored project funding. Funding from voluntary health organizations or associations, such as the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society, is usually treated as a sponsored project.
In remaining cases, for example where funding is being provided by corporations, foundations or others not specified above, the distinction between gifts and sponsored projects will be made based on the proposal, statement of work, and terms of the agreement, taking into consideration the intent of the donor/sponsor. If the "intent" does not correspond with criteria for classification as a gift or grant, the terms of the agreement will have to be adjusted in order to avoid unintended classification.
Sponsored project proposals should be submitted to external sponsors via the Office of Sponsored Research (OSR), which serves as the authorized signatory authority for the University. Projects will be considered sponsored projects if any of the following criteria are met, regardless of whether the proposal was submitted through OSR:
Sponsored projects are subject to facilities and administrative costs (F&A) at the University's published rate applicable to the type of project being conducted. If the sponsor has a written policy, uniformly applied, prohibiting or restricting the payment of F&A to a lower rate, the University may permit the funds to be accepted in accordance with the sponsor's policy. This exception does not apply to for-profit sponsors, who are expected to provide full F&A when funding sponsored projects. The Office of the Vice President for Research is the final authority responsible for determining the acceptance of the F&A rate in all cases.
A gift is defined as any item of value given to the University by a donor who expects nothing significant of value in return, other than recognition and disposition of the gift in accordance with the donor's wishes. In general, the following characteristics describe a gift:
Principal Investigator Eligibility
Allowability of Costs
Cost Sharing
IDC Non Government Sponsors
Sponsored vs Gift
Travel Policies
Grants Transfer
SBIR-STTR Guidelines for Participation
Effort Reporting Policy
Office of Technology Transfer

At the recent skeet n eat event there was some loose talk that an LTH militia ought to be formed, possibly under the the Supreme Command of G(is for General)wiv. The militia would use its newfound shooting skills to impose discipline upon those who violate the the public trust by serving bland, soulless, or otherwise crappy, food. The idea went nowhere -- concerns about the legality of armed violence and the difficulty of finding uniforms that would be both fashionable and flattering carried the day. However -- had the militia been formed, I believe that I have found the man who would have made an ideal debut target.
My wife and I found ourselves at O'Hare about 11/2 weeks ago with some time to kill (We were going on vacation and missed our flight because I am an idiot who thinks -- sure, I can have lunch at Spring World (stir fried tripe, bok choy $3.95, excellent) at 12:30, drop a colleague off at work, return home, and take the train from the southside to the airport in time for a 4:55 pm flight. I was wrong. We couldn't get on the next flight either.) We were both a little hungry and realized the "name brand" sandwich which United had promised us the opportunity to buy probably was not going to satisfy (assuming we even got on a plane that evening). We wandered the terminal. My wife proposed McDonald's. I resisted. she called me an elitist. Then we saw Wolfgang Puck's Airport Xpress (or whatever).
Now, I didn't think I had any illusions about Mr. Puck. I know that he is a full of crap shill and that his restaurants are probably overpriced tourist traps. But the popular culture does see him as one who has taught us to eat "fancy" food and we did eat at one his restaurants in Las Vegas a long time ago and we thought it was pretty good then and they must use OK ingredients in their pizza and how bad can it be. So we went in, we ordered a pizza, and we found out how bad. Bad. Really bad. We got the pepperoni (the smoked salmon is for breakfast only -- in retrospect thank goodness). Thick doughy undercooked crust. At least a quart of rubber oily cheesefood. Bright orange leathery pepperoni with a sharp chemical tang. It was as if they broke into Pizza Hut headquarters, stole their secret formula and figured out a way to make it worse. My wife took one bite, scowled and threw her piece down. I ate the almost the whole damn thing (as penance more than anything else). I am not prone to heartburn but within fifteen minutes my esophagus was on fire. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. Mass produced crap is mass produced crap even if it bears the name of a chef with a funny accent who was trained in Paris, who writes a column about what "good" food is, and runs some expensive restaurants formerly frequented by silly celebrities. What is so offensive is the underlying assumption that we -- the poor mopes stuck in the airport -- won't know the difference. We see the name. We pay a little extra hoping to get something wholesome even tasty and we get crap -- the same crap we would get if we ate at one of the megacorp chains. I'm sure he doesn't care, but Wolfgang Puck should be ashamed. And thankful that we couldn't get the militia together.
We finally got on a flight -- apparently because some other folks missed theirs. If they had a long wait, I hope they had the good sense to eat at McDonald's or the even better sense not to eat at all. Sometimes its better to just go hungry.

Robert John Graham Boothby, Baron Boothby
From Anarchopedia
Robert John Graham Boothby, Baron Boothby, KBE (also known as Bob Boothby) (1900 February 12 – 1986 July 16) was a British Conservative politician.
The only son of Sir Robert Tuite Boothby, KBE, of Edinburgh and a cousin of the broadcaster Sir Ludovic Kennedy, Boothby was educated at Eton College and at Magdalen College, Oxford. He became a partner in a firm of stockbrokers.
He was an unsuccessful parliamentary candidate for Orkney and Shetland in 1923 and was elected as Member of Parliament for East Aberdeenshire in 1924, holding the seat until 1958. He was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Winston Churchill as Chancellor of the Exchequer from 1926 to 1929 and held junior ministerial office as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food in 1940–41. During World War II, he joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, retiring with the rank of Flight Lieutenant.
Boothby advocated the UK's entry into the European Community (now the European Union) and was a British delegate to the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe from 1949 until 1957. He was a prominent commentator on public affairs on radio and television. He also advocated the virtues of herring as a food.
He was Vice-Chairman of the Committee on Economic Affairs, 1952–56; Honorary President of the Scottish Chamber of Agriculture, 1934, Rector of St Andrew's University , 1958–61; Chairman of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, 1961–63, and President, Anglo-Israel Association, 1962–75. He was awarded an Honorary LLD by St Andrew's, 1959 and was made an Honorary Burgess of the Burghs of Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Turriff and Rosehearty. He was appointed an Officer of the Legion of Honour in 1950, a KBE in 1953.
Boothby was raised to the peerage as a life peer with the title Baron Boothby of Buchan and Rattray Head in the County of Aberdeen, on 22 August 1958.
There is a blue plaque on his house in Eaton Square, London.
[edit] Private life
Boothby had a colourful, if reasonably discreet private life. He was described as "a bounder but not a cad" by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.[1] He was twice married; in 1935 to Diana Cavendish (marriage dissolved in 1937) and in 1967 to Wanda Sanna. He also had a long affair with Dorothy Macmillan, wife of his fellow Conservative politician Harold Macmillan and they had a daughter Sarah, who was raised by the Macmillans as their own daughter.[unverified] He also had an alleged homosexual relationship with Ronald Kray, one of the notorious Kray brothers. The writer and broadcaster Sir Ludovic Kennedy has said "... to my certain knowledge he [Boothby] fathered at least three children by the wives of other men (two by one woman, one by another)."[unverified]
After his death his ashes were scattered at Rattray Head near Crimond, Aberdeenshire.

Cabinet won't back Telkom/KT dealComment on this story
Cabinet has decided against supporting a potential strategic venture between Telkom and Korean group KT Corporation, Telkom disclosed on Friday.
It said the Minister of Communications had informed the telecommunications operator on Thursday that the proposed transaction between the companies had been presented to Cabinet on 30 May 2012 and that Cabinet had taken the decision not to support the transaction as proposed.
"The board of directors of Telkom will be engaging with the Honourable Minister of Communications to discuss Cabinet's decision and the implications thereof. A further announcement will be made in due course," Telkom said.
The group announced on May 8 that the two companies had reached in principle agreement regarding the terms of the Potential Strategic Venture, subject to the fulfilment of certain pre-conditions, "including receipt of in principle support for the Potential Strategic Venture by the Government of South Africa".
Should the venture be implemented, it would result in KT acquiring a strategic equity shareholding of 20% in Telkom and the companies entering into a five-year co-source management services agreement to formalise the relationship and identified areas of mutual strategic and business cooperation. - I-Net Bridge

Members of the West Webster Fire Department salute during an April ceremony in Webster where 2 firefighters were killed.

The names of two West Webster firefighters killed by a gunman in a Christmas Eve ambush were among nine added to the state Fallen Firefighters Memorial on Tuesday.
The families of Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka - both volunteer firefighters in the Monroe County town - received memorial flags from Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy at the event near the state Capitol, where the wall with the names of firefighters killed in the line of duty stands.
"The whole landscape changed," said Duffy, the former mayor and police chief of Rochester, of the Webster shootings that drew national attention. ...

So yeah, at the beginning of the level, the ferry guy is not where he is supposed to be, and when you fall into the water due to the log, you are stuck there and cannot proceed with the game. Help? o3o
I don't recall any special technique for it. It's several games back for me, but I remember just ringing the bell to call him, then there's a whole bunch of killing to do till he gets there. He'll let you know he's there, you leap to his ferry and there's more to kill during the ride. He will show up for ya tho.
Hey, did you have any trouble with the double-barrelled shotgun? It would like freeze you up when you reloaded it? The quad was ok, just the double. That happen to you, too? Great game and trainer.

I would like to enable inputText to accept only doubles
Use cases:
Input 1t (or T) and the control should display it as 1000 (with locale based formatting)
Input 1000 and the control should display 1000 with locale based formatting
1t(or T) as 1000 and so on for millions, billions..
I created custom converters and in getAsObject attempted to convert from the string to the appropriate double amount. ( I never get into the converter code because there is no POST action yet- I think). I want the "conversion" to happen when the user tabs out of the field.
What are the possible approaches to this problem? I would like to do this on the serverside as I want to follow a similar approach for some other controls I would need where the formatting depends on some other information being passed from the client.

This game has good graphics and does not take luck to win this game at all, it takes skill. You must choose the right area to sell the product in, you also must manage your money. A good part of the game is when you choose how much sugar and ice and etc. to put into your lemonade. Through the game your can upgrade your stand you sell lemonade in. If your into creative, strategy, tycoon games. This is the top pick for you. It would make it in my top 20 list.

The perfect game for a lunch hour. You can relax and unwind in a little mini vacation and eat while you make money selling. There are some really cute upgrades and some very very funny upgrades. I really liked all the thought and work that was put in to this game. Its turn based so you don't have to rush like nut trying to get what you want done; done. I'd love tycoon style games and this one is a perfect addition i think.

This is game is good and teach you many things about businesses. For example it teaches you tips like where the location of your business is more profitable also, it teaches you to always take care of you supplies, not to order too much or too little because you come out short, Also it helps you to gain the meaning of advertisement, how to use it and how powerful it is, it also tells you what do you need to do to sell things in Lemonade and in other games, such as finding what your customers like, the weather, whether it is winter or it is a hot day, this game tells you and teaching and makes you feel like you are a real lemonade seller. It is not easy at first but once you get the hang of it, you will enjoy it a lot. This game is very addictive, once you play it you do not want to get off it. It is very fun, it is one of my favorites, I really like it.

Steve Norwick died Tuesday, ending 12 days of agonized waiting for signs that the beloved professor and conservationist might survive the devastating injuries suffered when he was struck on his bicycle by a hit-and-run driver.
Norwick, 68, died at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital surrounded by family members, including his wife, Marthe, and two adult daughters, Rebecca and Sara, who have held vigil since soon after the June 8 collision in Rohnert Park.
Norwick never regained consciousness but he was not in pain, said his daughter, Sara-Rozet Norwick of San Francisco, who announced her father's death Wednesday morning.
She said her family hopes that what's remembered is her father's legacy "of living simply, and outdoors, in nature."
She said the deluge of love and support from friends, former students from Sonoma State University and the cycling community compensates for the conduct of the driver who witnesses said never so much as slowed down.
"Something like this should leave one feeling bad about humanity in that the driver drove away from the accident," she said. "But it's sort of the opposite, the way the community came together .<TH>.<TH>. It's actually left us with a better feeling about humanity, a positive feeling."
Marty Roberts of Sebastopol, a longtime friend and former student, said she hopes Norwick "was able to feel all the outpouring of love that has been demonstrated these last few days.
"And I hope this will lead to more unsafe drivers getting off the road," Roberts said. "We have lost a very special human being."
Norwick, who taught for nearly four decades in the Environmental Studies and Planning Department at SSU, retired in 2005 but continued teaching for several years, finally retiring for real at the end of spring term.
He was hit on Petaluma Hill Road while on his regular Friday morning bike ride from his house around the corner from campus to breakfast with friends in Penngrove.

According to Sgt. Dan Janson, a homicide detective with JSO, officers found the body of an adult black male at just after 8 p.m. Monday in the 3100 block of Phyllis Street.
While they were at the home, Janson said officers heard more shots being fired in the area and called for backup.
No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting, but police are still interviewing witnesses.

Port Clinton's Mallory Long is pressured by the Polar Bears' defense during Thursday's Sandusky Bay Conference matchup. / Jonathon Bird/News Herald
Margaretta's Tiffany Tucker scored seven straight points in the second quarter to push a Port Clinton deficit to 13 points as the Redskins fell to the Polar Bears 71-37 in the Sandusky Bay Conference on Thursday.
Margaretta (5-1, 4-1) forced nine turnovers and outscored Port Clinton (4-3, 2-3) 23-6 in the third quarter.
"That's our style of basketball," Tucker said of using pressure defense to create transition opportunities. "When we play tough and fast we can wear teams down. Our pressure leads to steals and layups."
"We applied pressure well and most of our points came from our defense."
Port Clinton committed 24 turnovers overall while Margaretta had 10. The Polar Bears made 28-of-54 shots inside the three-point line.
"Between beating us down the floor, offensive rebounds, the fact they shoot well -- I could name 10 different things they did better than us," Port Clinton coach Toby Bickel said. "We keep making the same mistakes. Hopefully we can get that corrected."
Margaretta's Brittany Morris had eight points in the first and third quarters to finish with a game-high 18. She sat out the second quarter with two fouls.
"When she gets points it sparks our team," Tucker said. "Easy baskets spark us to go play defense and that leads to steals."
Cayla Keegan had four steals and Tucker three for the Polar Bears.
Alexis Lynn scored 11 points for Margaretta. Lynn goes about her business in a quiet fashion but impacts the game on both ends of the court.
"She does the little things," Tucker said. "Alexis' defense is amazing. She's only 5-(foot-)6(-inches) and she applies pressure to taller girls. You don't see that in the stat book but that's what she brings."
Margaretta's Sarah Weaver hit two threes near the end of the second quarter and added two baskets in the third before leaving with a dislocated thumb.
Mallory Long scored a team-high 11 points for the Redskins. Bethany Buchanan had a game-high nine rebounds and added three steals.
Buchanan had eight points, Monaco seven rebounds and Long five. Monaco scored all six of her points in the second quarter.
Each team had only three points from the free throw line.
