Definitions for hahnhɑn
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word hahn
Princeton's WordNet
Hahn, Otto Hahn(noun)
German chemist who was co-discoverer with Lise Meitner of nuclear fission (1879-1968)
Hahn is a lunar impact crater that is located near the northeastern limb of the Moon. The crater appears oval when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. It is located less than one crater diameter to the southeast of Berosus, a slightly smaller formation. The inner wall of Hahn contains a system of terraces, particularly in the southern half. A smaller crater lies across the northwest rim, forming a break that reaches the interior floor. The interior floor has a region of lower albedo in the northern half, making it darker in appearance than the southern section of the floor. At the midpoint of the interior is an elongated central ridge, with the longer extent oriented north–south. The floor is also marked by several tiny craterlets.

The pace of this U.S. economic recovery is unlike any other that we've experienced in the wake of any recession in our lifetime. One moment we're talking restoration, the next moment we fear a double dip. Unfortunately, the data supports the former.
If our return to financial and fiscal prosperity remains this muted on all fronts–housing, employment, wages and public and private debt–it would be foolish to not embrace emerging markets as a true core asset class. The enduring search for yield and growth virtually requires it.
The argument in favor of allocating investable assets to parts of the planet that not long ago were considered the third world, can be divided simply into five parts, under the rubrics of banking, energy, consumerism, education and culture, and politics.
Government in the developed world is out to get financial institutions, including banks, often with good reason. Meanwhile, in the developing world, these same institutions are a much needed resource to sustain government projects (i.e., infrastructure) and treated as such. In the U.S., they're associated with greed and largess. In places such as China or India, they are admired for having dodged the bullet that was the volatility of the global financial crisis. We deride foreign governments for kowtowing to the needs of their local banking systems. Are the recent Wall Street bailouts any different?
It is because of government intervention that U.S. financial institutions are pushing out their prop desks, or in-house hedge funds, which have been making them money. (Although I personally believe they should be kicked out and moved into the non-regulated space; they have been a good source of revenue for financials. Instead, many banks are full of real estate-tied assets such as foreclosed properties). In emerging markets, financials are investing in companies that are truly high-growth and future dividend payers.
Proof positive–
In the U.S., energy providers are said to be destroying our planet. With the
In the emerging markets, instead of thinking defense, they're focusing on their offense. China and Brazil are trying to acquire more natural resources in Africa. Alternative energy is about innovation and that's the new Silicon Valley. Who knew that the clean energy boom would include names like
I don't want to see the innovation trend lead away from the U.S. to emerging markets because it's the true lead we have, and it's what matters most for future success in commerce. Improved education in emerging markets poses a threat. Imagine if they own the patents for solutions in the future. We showed the world the Internet, but advanced 5G telecom systems could come from there. What then?
We know that so much innovation in telecom, hardware and military weapons and aerospace have come from recent emerging economies such as Korea, Israel and Taiwan. We need to think about the future Samsungs in India and China and be boldly bullish about them. We need to think about the Zenith/RCA of today in our U.S. centric portfolios and be boldly bearish on them.
Americans are scaling back, carrying two credit cards instead of five. I'd guess that nearly all citizens in India and China don't have a credit card. We now have incentives to spend less because the idea of our home functioning as an ATM doesn't work anymore. People may want to buy a home here, but the supply inventory means prices won't go up much. Over there, first-time home buyers are driving the market up. When compared to the U.S., it's no different than the auto market in China. General Motors sells more cars in China than it does on home soil. Period.
Historically U.S. consumers have been big spenders, while everyone else hordes their cash. The same is true of few governments. The tables have been turned. Emerging market governments have been spending on infrastructure. Why? So they can increase domestic consumption and rely less on shoppers over here buying their stuff at
Education and Culture
A friend e-mailed me an audio file of an Asian Indian professor explaining to his students how the Western world uses profanity, namely the "F" word, in conversation. He offered examples that aren't appropriate here, but it's important to note that an academic on the other side of the planet is learning about basic idioms and nuances of Western language. It makes one wonder what we know about basic Indian or Chinese customs and culture. Most of us are nowhere close to having that kind of an informal discussion about foreign culture. They have the advantage of American TV syndication of our shows; never mind movies and popular music. We've little more than a very cursory bit of demand to understand India or most other cultures and languages for that matter.
Despite flaws displayed prominently during the recent financial crisis, I think we all believe in the American system of commerce and the Anglo-Saxon system of law. Yet how can it be that so many people around the world are considering the Chinese system of government and commerce? It's controlled capitalism within a non-democratic regime. This system relies on public faith of a single party system.
Yes, long-term planning works much better there in lieu of period changes in top leadership. But with limited freedom comes limits in innovation. Despite this, I see opportunity. Chinese and Indian and Brazilian forms of government are so different. Investors are overly exposed to the Anglo-Saxon system just as they are to the capital markets and currencies in the developed world. While some see political risk in China, I see diversification.
We don't have to believe in their system of government, but like the Chinese, who actually have to deal with their government censorship among other major drawbacks, we should care more about the effort of real diversification and the objective of growing our portfolios.

Anna Gunn was ill while shooting 'Breaking Bad'
If you thought Anna Gunn's been looking particularly svelte and glowing lately, she has. The actress tells People that she was being treated for an illness while she was shooting "Breaking Bad," and that the treatments made her heavier. "I was actually ill while I was filming the show, and it affected my weight," Gunn tells the tab. "They gave me cortisone and I puffed up and gained weight. Now I'm better, thank God. … I'm doing fine, thankfully. I'm feeling really good." Now that she's back on track with her health, Gunn, who plays Walter White's wife, Skylar, on the show, says she stays in shape by doing Pilates -- and chasing after her two daughters.

Review for St. Joan Antida High School, Milwaukee, WI, USA
I graduated from Saint Joan Antida's way back in 1958 and the values instilled in me at this all girls high school remain with me today. Although diversity was not spoken of then - by the time the rest of the country got on the band wagon, they found SJA alums leading the way.

@Anwar: I disagree that Voyager suffered from not having a more clear-cut 'path' mapped out when it came to the show's basic premise -one ship, far from 'familiar shores', trying to make it home - and the execution of said premise.
"Lost in Space" isn't really a sustainable premise for more than 2 seasons at the very most, neither is "Crew divided on everything". Most tensions would realistically fade after 1 season or so, otherwise we're dealing with seriously messed up people.
The whole "Always on the move" thing damaged the show's ability to flesh out their surroundings as well.

The 48-year-old was in freefall for a minute at speeds of 125 miles per hour, capturing the whole thing on a helmet cam at the behest of a certain energy drink company that gives you wings.

Ann Romney, wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, talks with convention officials as she tours …
TAMPA—A few hours before Ann Romney's prime-time speech to the Republican National Convention, excitement was building in the crowd at the prospect of hearing from a woman one delegate described as a Nancy Reagan for today who has "made motherhood honorable again."
Ann Romney's mission was to warm up her husband's sometimes aloof image, soften some of the edges honed by months of Democratic attack ads, and help win over up-for-grabs voters with a speech reaching well beyond the cavernous convention hall.
Her fans had no doubt she would succeed.
"She is like the Nancy Reagan of the 21st century," said Melissa Gay, a delegate from Tennessee.
Gay was originally a Rick Santorum supporter, but she voted unanimously with the rest of the state's delegates to nominate Romney tonight. Gay said she relates to Ann Romney because she also chose to be a stay-at-home mom. "She's made motherhood honorable again. Still, in the 21st century, people look down on people who want to stay home and raise their children. And it's the greatest job on the planet."

It may not be tropical, but Italy is surrounded by the temperate Mediterranean, making for beautiful beaches up and down its three coasts.
Add in the shorelines of Sardinia and Sicily, the country's two largest islands, and it's easily one of the world's greatest beach destinations. (Bonus points for the readily available fresh fish and chilled white wine.)
High season is late summer, when whole cities decamp to the shore and beach chairs sell for a premium-if you're lucky enough to find one vacant. Early summer is a better time to visit, when the water has warmed up but before the crowds descend.
Thanks to a surfeit of regional airports and an excellent rail systems (the trains sometimes run on time) getting to and around Italy is also a fairly early. The Italian attitude, which is at times excruciatingly relaxed, can be frustrating, but chances are that if you get stuck you'll wind up someplace charming.

Though the name of this geologically active Aeolian island is the source of the word "volcano," the last eruption was more than 110 years ago and the verdant speck is now best known for Black Sands Beach on the western side of the island near Porto Ponente. Nearby, Acque Calde beach fronts a crescent-shaped bay of waters heated by underwater thermal vents. Another black-sand beach on the southern part of the island, Dell'Asino, is best reached by boat. Where to Stay: Right on Black Sands, Hotel Les Sables Noirs ($140) is an excellent option on the bay in Porto Ponente. And the Hotel Eros is a 28-room property fronting the beach in Porto Levante with pleasant, if not totally romantic rooms from $190. Getting There: It's admittedly not easy to get to the Aeolian Islands from the Ustica Hydrofoil service leaves from Milazzo, a town on the northern coast of Sicily a three-hour train ride from Palermo. Vulcano is about 90 minutes offshore. You can also catch an overnight ferry from Naples. Photo: Filippo Parisi/Flickr
With almost one quarter of Italy's total coastline, Sardinia has beaches aplenty. The best of the bunch is Chia, on the southwest shore, not far from Cagliari. Around the village, a collection of gently curving crescents of powdery white sand curl along the shore, backed by dunes crowded with pink flamingos. North Africa is little more than 100 miles south. Where to Stay: While quiet beach relaxation is the main draw, there are also enough surf breaks that surfers bring their boards. The place to stay is the Chia Laguna Resort, a four-hotel-and-villas complex that sprawls along the coast, fronting the beaches. While the resort's Baia hotel is the simplest of the four, the private bungalow feel and excellent views of the sea make it one of the most appealing. Getting There: The island is reachable by air, with flights connecting in Europe arriving at Cagliari's airport, a 36-mile drive away. Photo: cristianocani/Flickr
The "five lands," a group of five villages that hug the sea between La Spezia and Genova on the northwestern coast of Italy, certainly can't compete based on just the size of their beaches, which could be generously described as small. But dramatic, looming cliffs and the strikingly blue sea and off Cinque Terre make these beaches worth a visit. They've even earned recognition from the UN as a protected World Heritage Site. Perhaps the best of the bunch is in Monterosso al Mare, where the sandy strand is bisected by a picturesque weathered rock outcropping. Beach chairs and parasols are available and the water is the definition of acquamarine. In Vernazza, a tiny slice of sand is bolstered by a concrete pier that juts into the sea, providing visitors with a perfect diving platform. Where to Stay: Because day-trippers can overwhelm the small towns, staying overnight offers a better experience. In Monterosso, La Poesia is a four-room guesthouse with negotiable rates set up above the water. Vernazza's tiny Elisabetta guesthouse has incredible sea views worth the hike up Via Carratino and definitely worth the price tag of $65-$90. Getting There: The intrepid can hike between the villages--or take a train, the easiest way to reach the area from elsewhere in Italy. The journey from Florence takes about 3.5 hours; from Genova, it's about 90 minutes. Photo: Italy Chronicles/Flickr
The northern Tuscan town of Forte dei Marmi is one of the country's most bustling beach resorts come high season, with wealthy Russians, sun-withered Brits and, yes, baked-to-perfection Italians descending on the Ligurian shores each summer. (It's so popular with super-wealthy cognoscenti that the mayor has tried to stabilize home prices by reserving certain properties for locals only.) The roughly 15-mile-long stretch of sand, packed with attended beach chairs, bars, restaurants and hotels aplenty, is so desirable for sheer simplicity: clear water, blazing sun and plenty of places to play after a day on the sand. Where to Stay: As one of the glitziest summer resorts in Italy, there are hotel options aplenty. The stately Hotel Franceschi Villa Mimosa is a 20-room luxury boutique a few blocks off the sand has romantic lodging from $350. Hotel Il Negresco overlooks the beach and also offers bicycle rentals for cruising around town. Be aware that during high season, it's common for Forte's hotels to institute minimum stays; even so, they often sell out months in advance despite the $300 or greater price tags. Getting There: The airport in Pisa is about 30 miles south of Forte dei Marmi. A rental car is one option, or you can take a train into Pisa proper, transfer and continue on a train north up to the coast. Photo: Been Around/Flickr
The spur on the boot of Italy, Gargano is a sub-region of Puglia, most of which is protected by a national park that encompassses some of the most spectacular coastline in the country. Plunging limestone cliffs and geological "stacks"--pillars poking up from the sea--dot the coastline, as do hidden sandy beaches near the towns of Vieste and Peschici. This is some of the most remote country in Italy, and visitors are rewarded with quiet privacy and a uniquely Italian crowd; this isn't the sort of international tourism carnival you'll find in Cinque Terre. Where to Stay: The Baia dei Faraglioni Beach Resort, with its $350 rooms, sits on top of a cliff overlooking the sea off Vieste and has access to a private beach by an elevator carved into the rock. The 20-room Le Dune Hotel Suite in Peschici offers a wider beach, with umbrellas and cabanas reserved for guests. The hotel offers double rooms from $150. The Baia delle Zagare, from $230, also has a private beach, backed by stunning sheer cliffs. Getting There: One downside to Gargano: It's difficult to reach. Flights to regional airports in Bari and Foggia are an option, but you'll still need to transfer to your hotel. In a rental car, Gargano is about four hours east of Rome. Photo: pizzodisevo/Flickr
Were they anywhere else, the beaches of the Amalfi Coast wouldn't rate as jaw-dropping. But combined with the sheer cliffs, electric blue waters, hidden coves and overwhelming charms of the Gulf of Naples, the oft-pebbly beaches here merit a visit for their all-around appeal. (That everyone from Roman emperor Tiberius to Jackie O have vacationed in the area is an added endorsement.) The best beaches on the mainland are away from the densest tourist scrums that hustle into the towns of Minori and Maiori, which has a parasol-packed strand looking south over the Tyrrhenian Sea. For more relaxed beach-going, hop a ferry to the island of Ischia, a less-traveled alternative to the seasonally swarmed Capri--the famed isle doesn't really have beaches anyway. In addition to its omnipresent beach clubs fronting sandy crescents, volcanic Ischia is well-known for thermal baths, where visitors can combine a soak with a stretch by the sea. Where to Stay: The Hotel Parco Smeraldo ($170 for a basic room) is situated right on Maronti Beach, Ischia's largest, and has an extensive spa and private section of the beach for guests. On the mainland, the Hotel Botanico San Lazzaro, from $370, is perched on the cliffs above Maiori--but offers tuk-tuk style shuttles to and from the beach. Getting There: Nearby Naples has an airport, but it's easiest to get here by flying to Rome and hopping the train south. Photo: Yellow.Cat/Flickr
Not far from Venice, these twin resort towns are popular not only with Italians looking for the sand, sun and minimal surf, but also Germans and Austrians who migrate across the Alps every summer to the shores of the Adriatic. (Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria started the trend in the 19th century when he made Grado his preferred summer getaway.) As on Ischia off the Amalfi Coast, there's an added draw to the fine sand and crystal clear water: Grado offers one of the country's best-known spas, with an almost innumerable list of treatments. The island has more than 12 miles of beaches and swells with tourists during the summer high season, when bars and outdoor discos pop up to accommodate the crush. A generally younger crowd stays on the mainland in Lignano, a sort of mirror image of Grado 12 miles west, across a small lagoon. Where to Stay: Accommodations abound, and the Hotel Diana is one of the best values in Grado, just three blocks from the beach at a fantastic price ($80) for its four stars. The Grand Hotel Astoria is another affordable option with rooms from $70 and a rooftop pool deck offering views over the town and its surrounding lagoon. In Lignano, the beachside Hotel Italia Palace offers sweeping views from its rooms for $170. Getting There: The closest airport is in Venice, and though you can take various combinations of taxi, bus and train services to reach these towns, it's much simpler to just rent a car and drive east for 90 minutes.

South of sizzling Forte dei Marmi, La Maremma is Tuscany's more low-key beach escape: Think of it as the region's Montauk or Santa Monica to Forte's more Malibu or Hamptons. The beaches extend, off and on, roughly 100 miles between Livorno and Monte Argentario through a government-protected "natural park" complete with pine forests, wetlands, wildlife and bird watching. Also hugging the coast? Cattle farms tended by Italian cowboys. While not spectacular for their sheer size, the intimacy and rusticity of the beaches here are the draw--and the area's relatively undiscovered status means crowds are thinner and prices are lower compared to elsewhere in Italy. No wonder so many Tuscans and Romans flock here for summer weekends. Where to Stay: The most posh hotel in the region is L'Andana, a former duke's residence turned luxury, $500-a night hotel by chef Alain Ducasse, a few miles from the beaches and the natural park. In the seaside town of Porto San Stefano, on Monte Argentario, the Pensione Week End is a very affordable option ($85) within walking distance of a few beaches. Getting There: The easiest way to navigate the region is by car, as public transportation in the area is limited. Pick up a rental at the international airport in Rome or Pisa.

Italy's most famous island, Sicily is ringed by beaches, from the wild Vendicari Nature Reserve to sandy stretches near Giardini Naxos. But for its size and scene, the Mondello Lido near Palermo could well be the top choice here. Just five miles from Palermo, the island's capital, it's an easy weekend (and weekday) escape from the city and visitors make for the wide, white-sand beach in droves. Ample hotels, restaurants, bars and clubs await, and the beach has every imaginable water sport and plenty of space to zonk-out-on-the-sand. Framing the picture is a sort of Sicilian Diamond Head, Cape Gallo, a rocky point jutting north into the Mediterranean and Mount Pellegrino. Where to Stay: The splendid Hotel La Torre is a short walk from the beach, with ocean-view rooms that will run you $130-210 and a lovely outdoor terrace and swimming pool. The Villa Esperia is a slightly more affordable choice three blocks from the beach with rooms from roughly $100. Getting There: Many airlines fly to Palermo, but you'll have to connect in Europe from the U.S. Conveniently, Mondello is closer to the airport than Palermo's city center. Photo: fachxx00/Flickr
The booming-est beach in all of Italy, Rimini is the Miami of the peninsula: The number of summertime visitors is only surpassed by the quantity of nightclubs catering to them. (Or at least so it seems.) While the scene is a big part of the draw, the 10-mile beach holds its own as a sun-soaked idyll. Where to Stay: As in Grado, where there's an Italian beach resort, there's a spa, and Rimini's first was established in 1873. You'll also find excellent hotels, some of which provide beach services to guests. The Grand Hotel Rimini is queen of the bunch, a turn-of-the-century grande dame that had a role in hometown hero Federico Fellini's Amarcord. Well appointed rooms run from $180 but look priceless. On the opposite end of the historical spectrum, the i-Suite Hotel offers space-age design for $320 a night and high-end service right on the beach. Getting There: Rimini is easily reached by trains from Bologna, itself easily accessible from Florence, Milan or Venice. Photo: Siri B.L./Flickr
The heel of Italy has its beaches, but so does the toe, with sandy shores on both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian seas. The beaches at Tropea earn top marks for their wide swathes of sand and for the stylish scene that's earned the town comparisons to St. Tropez. Punctuated by a rocky knoll topped by a small church, Santa Maria dell'Isola, these are some of the most dramatic shores in Southern Italy. Where to Stay: The Hotel Tirreno has both standard rooms and apartment-style "residences" from $200 for longer stays, as well as a private bit of beach for guests that is well stocked with umbrellas, beach chairs. Shuttle service the hotel, which perches on an ocean cliff. The Villa Vittoria is in the heart of town, a quarter mile from the beach, has simple, bright double rooms from roughly $100. Getting There: The beach is a short drive from the airport in Lamezia Terme, which has service from other Italian and European cities. It's also possible to get to Tropea by train from Rome and Naples. Photo: simo0082/Flickr
Urban beaches often aren't the best, but this six-mile-long strand only a short ferry ride from the heart of Venice is a major exception. It's perhaps most famous as the setting for Thomas Mann's dark tale Death in Venice, but the island has been a beach resort for centuries and today plays host to the Venice Film Festival. Where to Stay: The beach scene is as much a draw as the swimming, with most of the waterfront parceled out into bathing clubs that have agreements with the various, high-end hotels here. The Hotel des Bains is perhaps the most famous--it featured in Mann's story--but it's been closed and is being converted into private apartments. The Excelsior ($360) is now the five-star property of choice, overlooking a private slice of beach and the Adriatic. The Hotel Villa Laguna offers views of the city of Venice, including the bell tower and the domes of St. Mark's Basilica, worth the $250 while still being just a few minutes from the beach. Getting There: Venice has its own airport, with direct and connecting flights from the U.S. From the airport expensive private boats can ferry you to the city, but the best bet is to ride the shared Alilaguna ferries that ply the lagoon before pulling up at the Lido.

Each week we'll take a step back into the history of Great Bend through the eyes of reporters past. We'll reacquaint you with what went into creating the Great Bend of today, and do our best to update you on what "the rest of the story" turned out to be.
Great Bend City Administrator Howard Partington had a good point to make at the city council meeting Monday, as reported in the Tribune. Snow removal is not just a safety issue. It's a pride issue. The city ordinance, Section 121.12.02, makes it clear that it is the duty of the owner or the occupant of a property to keep the sidewalks cleared. But Partington goes on to suggest that those who can should help their neighbors if they are struggling, either from old age or other impediments. It's the right thing to do for many reasons ...
On Saturday, Ellinwood will display its German ancestry with the return of Chirstkindlmarket.
Monday night, the Great Bend Recreation Commission, with the help of students from several of Great Bend High School's service clubs and the support of several area businesses, pulled off another successful Santa's Workshop. Each year for several years now, it has provided an evening of free family entertainment as well as a chance for area children to craft, play games, and visit with Santa. Snacks and entertainment, like that provided by the GBHS El Sol Folk Dancer Club, made for a festive event.
Third grade students in the Bonnie Ward's, Casey Gatton's and Mira Hammond's classes at Riley Elementary School had visitors during lunch Tuesday afternoon. Dr. Roger Marshall and fellow Rotarians Harry Willems and Terry Vink had lunch with students prior to visiting them in their classrooms where they distributed dictionaries to each student.
After learning Tami Shepman, reading lab instructor and Julie Buzard, reading facilitator at Great Bend Middle School had seen 80 percent gains in reading fluency and 77 percent gains in reading comprehension amongst nearly 20 percent, the USD 428 Board of Education had questions. Vice-president Joyce Carter asked on what assessments the gains were based. In May, when the district adopted the in-house assessment tool AIMSWeb, students were given benchmark tests. It's from these results, and subsequent AIMSWeb short assessments given every two weeks, that the results come from.
Riley and Park elementary students brought their winter music programs on the road Wednesday morning, and visitors at the Great Bend Senior Center benefitted. Larissa Blackwell, Park's music teacher, led her students in popular movie songs from "Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang," "The Wizard of Oz," and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Rachel McCaulley, Riley's music teacher, led students in selections from their musical production of "A Kid's Life," in which grandparents come to visit during a power outage, and help their grandchildren find non-electronic ways to entertain themselves.
In just two years, Clara Barton Hospital in Hoisington has seen a 17 percent increase in the need for physical therapy services, according to hospital foundation spokesperson Michelle Moshier. Two factors have driven this--the addition of orthopedic services and an aging population. Thursday, the hospital will hold an open house so the public can see their answer to this need.
Friday afternoon, the Barton Community College Spirit Squad visited Riley Elementary. They were there to reinforce this year's motivational theme, "Learners Today, Leaders Tomorrow." Principal JoAnn Blevins worked with a group of hand-picked student leaders before students arrived in the lunchroom for the assembly, instructing them on how students would be seated. Then, as students arrived, class by class, her helpers jumped into action, making sure the kids stayed in straight lines with the proper amount of space between. The close quarters were necessary because the group would need plenty of room to perform.
Wednesday afternoon, people reported feeling the ground shake as far north as Manhattan when a 4.8 magnitude earthquake occurred near Conway Springs, located between 80 and 90 miles from the Oklahoma border, west of Wichita.
Great Bend High School students who participated in six sports were recognized Monday night by the USD 428 board of education for their achievement which resulted in being designated All-Conference athletes. Activities Director David Meter introduced each coach who in turn introduced the members of their teams who made the list, as well as those who were given honorable mention. (Video links can be found with the story at www.GBTribune.com)
Monday night, the USD 428 Board of Education was visited by several Great Bend High School students, some who were to be recognized by their coaches for their above-board efforts in fall sports, others who were there to thank the board for their support and to propose ways to increase contributions to the food bank.
Representatives from the City of Great Bend, the Chamber of Commerce, and Overland Property Group assembled at the site where the first phase of the apartment complex, "The Reserves at Trail Ridge," will be built for a ceremonial ground breaking Wednesday afternoon.

Gonna give another "New Civility" speech too ya hypocrite?
Sometimes the truth is shocking, so here it goes::
Arizonans have made a conscious decision that it's easier and cheaper bury our dead and care for the wounded than it is to restrict gun sales and pay for mental health care.
We get the society we deserve - for better or worse.
Rachel, you blame guns for killing but you don't blame cars for killing.
What's the difference?
Most importantly, what do cars and guns need to function?

By day, women earn top grades, start clubs, and interact easily with male friends, if at times strangely stuck in second place.
It promises those who sign up that "you'll get a free lunch and a chance to meet and interact with Iowa GOP staffers."
And that shift has changed the way those two groups behave and interact with each other.
Video games are best when they allow a player to experience something new or interact with another world in a meaningful way.
They'll see more of your feeds, interact in Facebook-approved ways, and up your visibility with all.
It is here that the man cannot act for the woman nor the woman for the man; but both must interact.
So does every tool, appliance, and machine we use, and so do all the people with whom we interact.
The two processes are mutually complementary and often interact in most complex fashion.
If the cogs on the gearwheels do not interact, the machine can not work.
It is no mere convention, however, which decrees that the flight of time is best indicated by an interact.

Why Wasn't Neelix considered a candidate for removal after season 3?

That's sad.
I have to admit the special effects seasons 4-7 were noticeably better though.
Computer SFX was advancing a lot during Voyagers run- they could generate shots impossible to do earlier.
Seska and Cullah did show up later than would make sense even with Voyager being delayed repeatedly. The Kazon were OK for the first episodes, but with the ship travelling as fast as possible through the sector it should have not had as many repealing villains IMO.

Marquette (24-8) eliminated St. John's (16-15) from Big East tournament contention with an uninspiring 76-67 win at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. Without the services of Jerel McNeal for the evening - and the rest of the tournament - it was up to the other Golden Eagles to step up. MU will next face Pitt in the Big East quarterfinals on Thursday at 9:00 EST on ESPN.Dan Fitzgerald and Wesley Matthews Jr. led the way for the Golden Eagles, but it wasn't a pretty game. Dominic James went 2-14 from the field, including 0-9 from behind the arc, but it was the inspired play of Fitzgerald that was the difference in the game. Fitzgerald posted a career-high 20 points against the Red Storm, popping from outside and driving to the basket. Lazar Hayward joined in with 14 points and a team-leading 7 rebounds, and Matthews added 15, including some clutch free throws down the stretch.All in all it was a group effort, with Mike Kinsella coming off the bench again to score 6 points on 2-2 shooting from 3-point land.Anthony Mason Jr. led the Red Storm with 19 points, and Aaron Spears pitched in 18. Lamont Hamilton did not play for St. John's; on Sunday he tore a knee ligament that ended his season.First half:With a halftime score of 35-28 in favor of Marquette, the only positive for the Golden Eagles in the first half was the score. Their lead was not indicative of how they played - St. John's just played worse. Fitzgerald had 8 points in the half to go along with Matthews' 10, but it was the youth and lack of defensive awareness and effort from the Red Storm that allowed a tough shooting half for Marquette to go unpunished.With a couple of quick buckets, Mason was the bright spot of the first 10 minutes for St. John's, but he also got a pair of quick fouls to land him on the bench for the last 6:40 of the half. At the 4:17 mark, Fitzgerald hit a 3-pointer, putting Marquette up 28-20, and it looked like St. John's was ready to lie down. But poor shooting from the MU side kept them in the game, and at the half, when they were down only 7, the Red Storm had to feel like they were in the contest.Marquette shot 43% from the floor in the half and only 5-13 from the 3-point line, with James going 0-6. St. John's shot 39% from the floor in the first half and 4-12 from behind the arc. MU outrebounded the Red Storm 19-12 in the half. Spears led St. John's with 8 first-half points.Second half:The second half was much like the first, with a herky-jerky tempo that never allowed MU to put away the pesky Red Storm. At the 17:50 mark, a Hayward basket put Marquette up 45-35, and all seemed to be finally going MU's way. But that was the last basket that the Golden Eagles would score for about four minutes. St. Johns went on a 10-0 run over that span to tie the game at 45-45 - but they could never get over the hump. Hayward scored back-to-back baskets, putting Marquette up 4, and they never looked back, although they never really looked like they were in total control either.Marquette pushed their lead to 63-51 on Kinsella's second 3-pointer of the night at the 7:33 mark. But SJU responded, and by the 4:30 mark the scoreboard read 64-58 in favor of MU. It was a seesaw battle from that point on, with the Red Storm pulling within four with about a minute left to go.Marquette was able to make their foul shots the rest of the way, and the St. John's rally ultimately fell short, with the game ending at 76-67.Observations:· Marquette moves the ball a little better without McNeal, but they miss his defensive intensity.· James continues to struggle with his outside shot. But he has found different ways to help the team win. · I still believe that it may be better to win the first game against St. John's and then lose to Pitt. A run to the championship game will take more out of the team than it's worth before the NCAA tournament.· Fitzgerald found his stroke at MSG; now he must keep it going for the rest of the year.· With the win over Pittsburgh, I see a #6 seed for Marquette in the NCAA tournament, probably in the West region.· Matthews put up another solid all-around game for MU.· Tom Crean used his rotation to perfection in the absence of McNeal - look for another bench player to make a huge contribution against Pitt.· Could it get any better than playing at MSG every year? What a recruiting advantage that is for every Big East program.· Anthony Mason Sr. is a blimp - whew. He looks like he has been boxing out Charles Barkley at the buffet table. ...More...

Re: Amex Business Card - They say it´s not a late payment...
is it true?
Thanks ! I hadn´t noticed that. I just checked it and indeed my Amex Platinum Business Card says "Please Pay By..." but my Amex Personal Platinum Card says "Payment Due Date...". Does this mean that if I´m one day late with my personal card it will be considered as a late payment?

The voices of McKinley High's New Directions could soon find themselves belting out "Dancing In The Dark" and boogeying to "Born In the USA," if a Glee insider is to be believed.
Word on The Curb has it that Bruce Springsteen, 61, is in talks to appear in a tribute episode of the Emmy-nominated Fox musical-comedy later this season.
According to reports, Springsteen will play the uncle of Gleeker Finn Hudson.
"Bruce is such an all-American icon. We thought it would be great to get him on board. His music is loved by everyone and it has such potential to fit into the show," yaps an insider.
Other star rumored to be in talks to appear in upcoming episodes of Glee include Zac Efron, Justin Timberlake, and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Ahh, now we're seeing what Microsoft is thinking of doing with Xbox as a media-distribution platform (Microsoft is announcing TV programs and other video shows distributed onto your Xbox). My question is: can I watch Lost? I don't have a TV hookup, so I have to either wait for IP networks to get it (and I ain't gonna watch 640×480 on iTunes, that's too low a resolution) or I have to wait for NetFlix to get it on DVD. We just finished watching the second season of Lost. I want to get the third season of Lost for a reasonable price. In HD of course.
Is Lost coming to my Xbox?

Performance is relative. If a stock manages to move sideways or
modestly rise when most stocks are plunging, then investors should
be pleased. Better yet, these are precisely the kinds of stocks
that tend to outperform when most other stocks simply stabilize.
We're not there yet, but we're getting awfully close. So it pays to
take a close look at the companies showing impressive
relative strength
to find clues as to where to focus your investing dollars. And even
though the past few sessions have been up, the
need not rally for these S&P 500 stocks to move ahead.
One way to buck the tide: find a buyer.
Google (Nasdaq:
offered a $12. 5 billion dowry for
Motorola Holdings (Nasdaq:
in July, helping that stock to rise 60% in the past three months.
It also helps to offer a fat
to entice investors. Utilities and tobacco stocks held up very well
in the third quarter, thanks to their hefty payouts.
But it's unwise to expect further
for these stocks. In most instances, their dividend yields are
simply too small to entice high-yield investors. And in a more
stable market, the unwinding of the "
flight to quality
" trades may cause these stocks to lose some appeal, especially if
investors move back farther out on the risk curve.
But there are a dozen other stocks that have managed to rise in an
otherwise tough market. Which of these are poised for further gains

outlook for gold prices. Why has Newmont done far better than its
peer group? Because it announced plans in July to make major
investments in Peruvian and Australian mines that should set the
stage for 7 million ounces in annual gold production by 2017. Of
course, high gold prices would be necessary to generate the
cash flow
to fund these projects. Is gold headed back toward the $2,000
per-ounce mark -- or higher? That's not a wager I'm personally
looking to make. [See my piece: "
2 Major Reasons Why Gold Prices Could Continue
In a similar vein, I remain in awe of
Apple (Nasdaq:
, which tacked on another 9% in the last quarter (even after a $40
pullback since Sept. 20). And the stock is surely cheap at less
than 10 times next year's
when cash is excluded. But I remain fearful that the company's
business model
is near a peak as cutthroat competition in the consumer electronics
market will eventually crimp growth and margins.
Yet there are a few names that look quite appealing -- even in
these tough times.
1. VF Corp. (NYSE:
If you're on the prowl for companies that can benefit from rising
consumption in
emerging markets
such as India, Russia, Mexico, Brazil and China, then you should
know this name. VF owns brands such as Timberland, Wrangler, Vans,
the North Face and others. These are iconic U.S. brands, synonymous
with the "great outdoors." And they're quickly gaining adherents in
emerging markets.
The June 2011,
of Timberland in particular is turning this into a solid move.
Aided by that deal, sales are expected to rise 20% this year and
another 20% in 2012 to about $11 billion. Equally important,
management has proven quite savvy in managing costs through better
of raw materials. Gross margins are on track to rise from 44% in
2008 to 46% this year. With such a large sales base, a 200 basis
point increase in gross margins really fuels the
bottom line
. Notably, cotton prices had been surging, but have recently pulled
back, which should
gains in 2012.
Merrill Lynch, which upgraded its rating on VF from "neutral" to
"buy" in late September, figures the company can
its strong brands and solid cost controls into healthy
free cash flow
, projecting a rise from $600 million this year to $1 billion by
2013. It also predicts
will rise to $140. That may only be 15% above current levels, but
this potential return also comes with a fairly low degree of risk
and volatility.
2. Bristol-Myers Squibb (NYSE:
Faced with a never-ending onslaught of patent expirations and tepid
new drug pipelines, investors have come to see Big Pharma as a
no-growth industry. There is one notable exception: Bristol-Myers
Squibb, which has less exposure to imminent patent expirations and
a fairly robust pipeline of new drugs waiting in the wings.
To be sure, the quarters ahead will be a challenge. Sales are
expected to drop 13% in 2012 to $18.3 billion, while
earnings per share (
could slump by a similar amount, from $2.28 to $2.06 in the same
period. From there, business should improve markedly. Goldman Sachs
estimates a string of new drugs should hit the market beginning in
2012, which will likely eventually constitute 70% of sales by 2016.
(Notably, new drugs tend to carry the highest
margins.) Goldman's analysts say "Street forecasts underestimate
the margin implications of BMY's burgeoning new product lineup,
which should lead to significant upside in the 2014-2016 period."
Goldman sees shares rising from a current $31 into the upper $30s
once the rest of Wall Street starts to appreciate the company's
plans. Coupled with a current 4.3% yield, this stock offers income,
stability and growth all in one platform.
Risks to consider:
Some of these stocks have rallied simply because they are seen
as safe havens during stormy times. As the market calms, these
"flight to quality" names may lose some appeal.
Action to Take -->
A key theme of these stocks is that they appear to be
well-positioned to grow in an uncertaineconomy . In addition to VF
Corp. and Bristol-Myers Squibb, companies like health care
solutions provider
Cerner (Nasdaq:
should see increasing adoption for their goods and services. But
price still matters. Cerner, at 30 times projected 2012 profits,
appears fully-valued, so it should be watched in case of a

Contribution of Karl Marx to Conflict Perspective and Theory of Alienation
Although Karl Marx died long ago, his works are much alive today and in fact constitutes the main body of conceptual and theoretical work within conflict perspective.
Although Karl Marx died long ago, his works are much alive today and in fact constitutes the main body of conceptual and theoretical work within conflict perspective. His thought has had immense influence in shaping practical policies. Marxism is still a practical body of thought and doctrine. A substantial part of his body of thought provides sociologists with a systematic and rigorous way of analyzing society and forms the core of the conflict perspective.
In treating alienation Marx's key concept is fetishism. By fetishism he suggests that men somehow come to dissociate themselves from their own products whether these are material things or ideas. Somehow these man-made things and ideas obtain a life of their own become more important than their inventor man and end up dominating him.
Such objects are thus set apart from man, they are alien to him and come to dominate him. Examples of such objects in the realm of ideas are the laws of supply and demand which impersonally determine what should be produced, how many should be employed etc.Such laws are not seen to be the products of man's own thinking but are regarded as the truth which is out there, permanent and inviolable.
In short Marx argues that men are alienated from one another; they are alienated from their products, material and ideal.They are also alienated from their society. Though for Marx, alienation exists in all societies which have private property of the means of production, he argued that only in capitalist society had it reached its fullest, most crippling development

I need to copy a pattern and make a muslin I can sew together and hopefully re-use to make a different neckline if I use the pattern again.
I have to adjust the shoulder seams and sleeve set to accomodate one markedly more sloped shoulder--which I did not need to do when I was younger. I prefer to use something I can lay over the pattern and trace onto. That eliminates plain brown craft paper. I found Swedish tracing paper or sew in interfacing is recommended. May I please have suggestions?
Are you looking for something like Pellon Tru-Grid?
------~Gem in the prairie
I use the Pellon Tru-Grid as previously mentioned. It is available at your local Jo-Ann's with the interfacing. I pick it up when the interfacing is on sale for 50% off.
Another non-lined alternative is called Do Sew tracing material. It is a product of the Stretch & Sew company (NAYY). I prefer the helpful lines on the Tru-Grid, but this is another alternative.
I use a ball point pen to trace and then Sharpie markers to finalize all the details, both thick- and fine-point. The Sharpie fine-point markers dry out fairly quickly so I asked my DH to pick something comparable up at Wal-Mart. He found a pack of Bic Mark-It pens which I really love. So far, they are holding up much better than the Sharpies did.
Good luck with your project! -- Edited on 11/17/11 9:46 AM --
If you are fortunate enough to find some of that paper they use on exam tables in your doc's office, that's great stuff
Thank you so much! Will try the Tru-Grid first as that sounds like a good start for a first!

Indonesian retailer PT Hero Supermarket plans a 2.98 trillion rupiah ($304.24 million) rights issue by the end of June, the company said on Monday.
The supermarket chain is offering 889.4 million shares, or 21.3 percent from its enlarged stake, at 3,350 rupiah per share. Dairy Farm International Holdings Ltd will be the standby buyer of the rights issue.
In March 2012, Hero won rights to franchise Swedish furniture giant IKEA stores in Indonesia to tap booming domestic consumption from an emerging middle class in Southeast Asia's biggest economy
The supermarket operator share was down 0.63 percent at 3,975 rupiah, while the broader Jakarta Composite Index was down 1.07 percent.

Flu & bf
Comments (5)
The flu shot protects against influenza, the respiratory flu...not gastroenteritis, the stomach bug. Stay hydrated so your supply stays up and if she gets it just keep nursing. Offer smaller/shorter more frequent sessions/bottles. BM is still the best thing for her right now. And if she does get it, it may be a milder version because you have created some immunity and passed that to her in your milk.
Mommy to Gavin 8/24/07, Madelyn 7/26/10, and Riley 7/14/12
I had an upper respiratory infection that took two rounds of antibiotics to treat. I'm the only one who takes care of LO, so he was exposed he whole time I was sick (about two weeks). Breast milk is a miracle because he never got sick! I just kept nursing him whenever he would take it. He's a chunker, so that was pretty often haha!
Married since 8/09...Mommy since 7/12

Cop on abuse charge shoots girlfriend deadComment on this story
Cape Town - A police constable allegedly shot and killed his girlfriend on Thursday at their house in Delft, Cape Town, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate said.
"It is alleged the couple was returning from Bellville court over a domestic violence case against the police officer," Ipid acting spokeswoman Grace Langa said in a statement.
The officer allegedly used his service pistol to shoot the 37-year-old-mother of two.
"It is alleged that 15 gunshots were fired."
The 36-year-old officer handed himself over to the Delft police where he was arrested.
The couple's two children were in the house at the time.
"It is further alleged that there is a history of domestic violence between the couple," Langa said.

2014 Mazda CX-5, the Thin Mint of SUVs: Motoramic Drives
Last week, I was driving down Shoal Creek to pick my son up at Sunday school. A local Girl Scout troop had set up a cookie stand. I decided to get in good with the wife by picking up a box of Thin Mints. That sounds like a pretty badass morning, I know. Try not to be envious.
I pulled over in my just-from-the-factory 2014 Mazda CX-5. It was candy-apple red, gleaming like a freshly polished fingernail. The 2.5-liter engine, new for this model year, hummed nicely. I rolled down the window and placed my order.
"Oh my God, dude," said one of the Girl Scouts. "I love your car."
"It's new!" I said excitedly.
"It is so awesome," she said. "So cute!"
Until this moment, I'd been having trouble placing the CX-5 into context. The compact sports utility vehicle segment doesn't get a lot of love from my cohort. They're not fast or stylish enough, and not really big enough for much more than a family of four. Essentially, they mark the evolution of the monstrous SUV into nothing more than a large hatchback. I like that development, but understand why it's not exactly the car industry's glamour shot.
Now, though, I'd discovered the CUV's true destiny, embodied in this adorable new CX-5. Toyota and Honda, whose RAV4 and CR-V have never been called "cute" by a Girl Scout (as far as I know), could take lessons from Mazda's quirky off-brand styling here. The only other car I've driven over the years that has evinced that kind of reaction was a mint-green Mustang convertible, though most of those squeals were from middle-aged men. But this CX-5 was girly all the way, and in the best way. Mazda has, quite by accident, produced the contemporary version of Barbie's Dream Car.
This year's CX-5 differs not much from last year's. There are some new interactivity doo-ads. (Side note to car companies: Stop trying to impress me with the fact that your car is able to run Pandora via my smart phone. I don't care how much they paid you. Give me a car that can make toast, and then we'll talk special features.) But there is one actually significant new feature — a different engine. The 2.5-liter "Skyactiv G" gives the car the touch of zip and vigor that the previous 2.0-liter engine lacked. The CX-5 had been ready for a little boost. It gets 184 hp, and uses it wisely, for the most part.

What do you get when you combine top-secret military teams and werewolves? Try Tyler's sizzling new supernatural series featuring the Alpha Pack — a specialized team of wolf shifters with PSI powers. In this launch book, readers are introduced to the various team members, with the primary focus on Jaxon Law. Tyler has set up an intriguing premise for her series, which promises plenty of action, treachery and scorchingly hot sex. Regrettably, however, some of the heroine's behavior stretches credibility.
Jaxon Tyler has survived two attacks that should have killed him. The first was in Afghanistan, when his covert team was attacked and the survivors changed into werewolves with varying PSI powers. The second was when the Alpha Pack, now working secretly for the government, was betrayed by Jax's girlfriend. Then Jaxon rescues Kira Locke, a lab assistant for NewLife Technology, from an attack. Suspecting something sinister is going on at work, Kira steals some sensitive samples. As Jax and Kira try to figure out the ramifications of what she stole, they fight a losing battle against the powerful passion that connects them. (SIGNET ECLIPSE, Aug., 352 pp., $7.99)
