Crashes snarl local traffic
BERLIN Police responded to two separate two-vehicle crashes Friday both on the Barre-Montpelier Road.
One of the crashes happened just after noon; the other, just before 1:30 p.m., according to Officer Kyle Kapitanski of the Berlin police.
The first accident took place near the Berlin State Highway, and the second was near Windshield World, said Kapitanski.
The first crash resulted in significant damage to one vehicle and moderate damage to the second. One of the people in the accident may have suffered a minor injury, he said.
The second crash resulted in minor damage to both vehicles and no injuries.
No one from either accident was taken to a hospital by ambulance, Kapitanski said.
Traffic was heavier than normal on the Barre-Montpelier Road at the time of both crashes, due to a traffic-related incident that occurred in Barre City earlier in the day, a news release from the Berlin Police Department said. Traffic had since returned to normal flow, police said as of 3:30 p.m.
The accident in Barre, involving a truck striking power lines, led to North Main Street being temporarily closed to traffic in both directions, Barre police said.
Names and further details in the two Berlin accidents were not provided.MORE IN This Just In

You are also creating a story and writing stories is a great way to become smarter, as you have to think of a story that is intriguing enough for everyone else to want to follow. The many events of trial and error you encounter in scripting also tests your patience and your ability to troubleshoot and fix things. This makes you handy and reliable and will help you go far in life. Besides all that, yeah it's a time killer and it's productive instead of just playing a game, you're building one.

Here at Puckett's Boat House, we aim to stay true to local Franklin flavor while delivering an atmosphere that makes you nostalgic for family vacations and good times. We do this through a one-two punch of Puckett's trademark Southern fare and reputation as a live music venue—both with our signature Boat House twist.
Our grill and oyster bar menus offer wide-ranging flavors of by-the-shore dishes that are reminiscent of the Gulf coast and the Big Easy, plus Southern staples that draw from the Marshall family's Nashville and Memphis roots. Our mission is to deliver down-home dishes with a seafood spin, featuring only the highest quality local and regional ingredients. But that's not all.
Recently, the team transformed the old baitshop into the Boat House Wine Bar, which offers a carefully selected list of high-class bottles and fine cigars. The wine list focuses on unique varietals and blends that are organized by weight and mouth-feel, and is designed to guide guests by their taste buds rather than preconceived notions.
And if you're here Tuesday through Saturday evening, expect to hear great live music with a Middle Tennessee stamp. We guarantee a swinging good time on our big ole dance floor! Check out our calendar for a list of performers throughout the week.
Housed in Franklin's old Boat Locker at 94 E. Main Street, the Boat House is an A. Marshall Family Foods Inc. restaurant, and is downtown Franklin's only Gulf-centric eatery.

Hurricane Katrina's Effects on Industry Employment and Wages: Rapid Development of Alternative Methods in Two BLS Programs Resulted in a Clearer View of the Economic Impact of This Storm Than Would Have Been Possible Otherwise," the Number of Jobs in Many Affected Areas and Industries Is Still Down
Garber, Molly, Unger, Linda, White, James, Wohlford, Linda, Monthly Labor Review
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has two programs that measure employment and wages by industry: The Current Employment Statistics (CES) program and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. Both operate as Federal-State cooperative programs in which BLS partners with workforce agencies in each State.
The CES program surveys approximately 400,000 business establishments nationwide and publishes estimates of employment, hours, and earnings for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. Estimates are released 1 month after the reference month; for example, March estimates are published in April.
The QCEW provides a virtual census (97 percent) of monthly employment and quarterly total wages, derived from Unemployment Insurance tax records that almost all employers are required to file quarterly. QCEW series for the Nation, States, metropolitan areas, and counties are published 7 months after the end of the reference quarter. For example, first quarter (January through March) employment and wage counts are published in October.
Thus, the CES estimates are timelier, but the QCEW series are more comprehensive, publishing far more industry and geographic detail. The CES employment estimates are benchmarked annually to the QCEW employment counts. The benchmarking process is intended to correct for sampling error and nonsampling error in the CES estimates.
Both the CES and the QCEW programs faced major operational and analytical challenges collecting data following Hurricane Katrina. At the same time, there was great demand for these data as policymakers tried to assess the immediate and long-term effects of the storm. This article describes the CES and QCEW responses to the difficulties posed by the hurricane and its aftermath and presents some of the employment and wage trends measured by the programs both before and after the storm.
Scope of damage
Hurricane Katrina made landfall on August 29, 2005, near Buras, Louisiana. Although it had weakened to a strong Category 3 hurricane by then, with sustained winds of 115 to 130 miles per hour, the massive cyclone generated a storm surge as high as 27 feet along the gulf coast from New Orleans to Mobile, Alabama. Significant failures in the levees of New Orleans caused flooding in approximately 80 percent of the city.
The storm unleashed widespread devastation across the region. Katrina affected 138 counties and parishes covering 93,000 square miles--roughly the same land area as Great Britain. It became the costliest hurricane on record, with an estimated $96 billion in damage. (1) Some 300,000 homes were either destroyed or rendered uninhabitable, displacing over 770,000 people. I ms is over three times the number of homes lost in 2004 to Hurricanes Charley, Frances, Ivan, and Jeanne combined.
The economic ramifications of the hurricane are immense for the gulf coast region. In addition, storm damage produced short-term reverberations across the country in the form of higher gasoline prices, crippled communications, and displaced individuals crossing State lines seeking shelter and jobs.
Hurricanes strike the United States every year, and the effect of an "average" hurricane on a local economy is fairly predictable: after some temporary disruption caused by evacuation, property damage, and power outages, employment recovers and may even surge for a short time in industries such as construction as residents return to their homes and businesses and repair the storm damage.
Katrina, however, was clearly no average hurricane. The massive scale of destruction to property, infrastructure, communications, and the environment, as well as the scale of human displacement, challenged BLS conventions for measuring the impact of a natural disaster on a local economy.
Identifying affected areas, establishments
Immediately following the hurricane, BLS assembled data from the CES survey and the QCEW as well as from other BLS programs into a pre-hurricane profile of the affected areas in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. …

B6013-006: Accounting I
TR - Accounting, 09:00AM to 10:30AM
Location: WJW 311
Instructor: Urooj Khan
Financial statements are meant to enable the reader to evaluate the performance of an enterprise, analyze its cash flows and assess its financial position. Recently, widely publicized cases of misleading statements, which were nevertheless attested as to their fairness by outside auditors, resulted in improper revenue recognition, overstatement of income and misrepresentation of financial position. There is now a growing awareness of the importance of honest reporting as the foundation for investors' confidence in the integrity and proper functioning of the financial markets.
This course examines the generally accepted accounting principles [GAAP] underlying the financial statements, their implementation in practice and the role of the independent auditors. Note is also made of the limitations of financial reports, their evolution in response to changing business conditions, current accounting controversies and the constraints that limit the freedom and influence the course of action of rule makers and regulators. The perspective and main focus are not those of the accountants who prepare financial reports, but rather those of the users of the information contained in them: mostly investors and the financial analysts who serve them, creditors and, to some extent, management.
Urooj Khan
Assistant Professor
Urooj's research focuses on the usefulness of financial reporting, standard setting and regulatory enforcement. His research has explored the contribution of fair value accounting in financial crises and how bank disclosures can be used to better predict credit risk of banks and local economic activity. Urooj was awarded American Accounting Association's Competitive Manuscript Award for his paper on fair value...

iHerb Customer Reviews
I spent a long time 'talking myself into' purchasing a decent eye-shadow trio, because you know, you have to pay for the quality, no matter how reluctant you might be to fork out. But these are really good investment, and I appreciate the quality and the shades this trio has. Stay long and look fantastic. My recommendation.
Product stays in place much longer than my previous shadows. The lighter brown has a tiny bit of shimmer, but is not glittery by any means.

Jefferies Defends Tesla Following Negative NY Times Article
Shares of Tesla Motors (NASDAQ: TSLA) are down more than 3 percent Monday morning following a New York Times article from over the weekend entitled "Stalled Out on Tesla's Electric Highway".
The article author recently test drove a Tesla Model S sedan which did not end so well: amid a drive from Washington to NYC, the car stalled reportedly due to cold weather.
Jefferies' Elaine Kwei believes the issues dealt with on the test drive were likely attributable to an improper charging protocol, something which is not necessarily controllable by Tesla. Kwei suggested the vast majority of Model S buyer's have been "very impressed."
The Jefferies analyst reiterated a Buy rating and raised her price target on the stock from $36 to $45 ahead of the company's Q4 results later this week.

The Biggest Superhero Films That Didn't Happen, Part 2
Comic Books, Film
Fighting evil by moonlight and winning love by daylight undoubtedly requires a lot of travel, which is where this new line of official Sailor Moon luggage will come in handy.
Produced by otaku-minded Super Groupies, the Sailor Moon line features passport cases, carry-on bags and trolley bags in colors and styles inspired by Sailor Moon, Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter.
Even after nearly 24 years, Sailor Moon remains wildly popular, which means Japanese company Bibi Lab will likely make a killing with these pajamas for men inspired by the manga and anime. Hey, there are undoubtedly male fans who want to be pretty sailor-suited soldiers, too.
Lianne Sentar is a member of the generation that came to comics through manga and stuck with it, moving from reading to creating to publishing. The author of Tokyo Demons, she was writing Sailor Moon novels for Tokyopop when she was still a teenager and later worked as an adaptor and editor.
Two years ago, Sentar teamed up with former Tokyopop senior editor Lillian Diaz-Przybyl and two other women to create Chromatic Press, an independent publisher of comics, fiction and audio dramas. Their flagship publication, Sparkler Monthly, is a digital magazine that is based on the Japanese model of serialized stories. They caught the attention of manga fans immediately by getting the rights to one of the best-regarded graphic novels from Tokyopop's global manga line, Jen Lee Quick's Off*Beat. Their lineup also includes Christy Lijewski (RE:play) and rem (Priscilla Hamby), who won the Japanese Morning International Manga Competition for non-Japanese creators. Jason Thompson just dedicated his weekly "House of 1000 Manga" column to an in-depth review of the magazine.
A lot happened in the nearly 17 years between the end of Sailor Moon and the revival last summer with Sailor Moon Crystal: The world ushered in a new millennium, governments rose and fell, the human genome was mapped, Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet …
It's that last development, however, that most concerns the Sailor Soldiers in the latest video from ADHD (Animation Domination High-Def). It turns out there's a pecking order in this team of magical girls, and now beleaguered Sailor Pluto is at the bottom.
The upstart comics publisher Lion Forge has launched launched a new entry in the classic magical girl genre with its new series Crystal Cadets.
Created by writer Anne Toole and artist Katie O'Neill, Crystal Cadets follows a middle-school student named Zoe who's gifted a magical crystal that gives her powers and membership in an elite but discreet sisterhood called (of course) the Crystal Cadets. Featuring members pulled from across the globe, this multicultural story shows these girls of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds learning and mastering special abilities in pursuit of a better life for themselves and their world.
If you ever wondered what might happen if you were to combine Sailor Moon and Popeye the Sailor Man, Gold Digger cartoonist Fred Perry may have the answer. However, his mashup, titled Momeye the Sailor Scout, isn't merely a one-off illustration — it's a full-fledged comic coming soon from Antarctic Press.
Scheduled for August release, Momeye the Sailor Scout mixes Sailor Moon's Usagi Tsukino with E.C. Segar's Popeye in a homage/parody that, according to the publisher, is "not just gender-bent, it's gender punched through the ceiling!" Whereas Popeye gets his strength from spinach, Momeye gets hers from avocados — and she'll need it, as she'll be up against her "best frenemy," Bruta.
If you're a comics fan with a near-religious devotion to your favorite superheroes, do we have a window treatment for you: Marissa Garner has created a stunning series of prints that imitate the look of stained glass and features everyone from Batman and his allies to Spider-Man and his rogues to Sailor Moon.
What's more, they're printed on transparency paper, and can be attached to a window, creating that instant cathedral effect.
Check out some of Garner's print below, and even more on her Etsy page, where they can be purchased.
Welcome to Best of 7, where we talk about "The best in comics from the last seven days" — which could be anything from an exciting piece of news to something great fans are doing to an awesome comic that came out. So let's get to it …
I'm hard pressed to think of a better or, frankly, stranger way to cap off the day than with this video of Tony Stark doing his best imitation of the Sailor Moon S transformation to don his Iron Man armor.
Called "Iron Moon," it was created by first-year animation students at South Korea's Chungkang College of Cultural Industries as a second-semester project. I'd give them an A-minus, at least.
In one of the most incredible crossovers ever, Wonder Woman and Sailor Moon faced off in an epic dance battle during the 2013 Streetstar dance festival in Stockholm, Sweden. The two dancers — France's Lasseindra (Wonder Woman) and Finland's Ida "Inxi" Holmgren (Sailor Moon) — went up against one another in the Vogue Femme Final Battle dressed in full costumes. Although the competition took place back in February, the video was only posted last month on Streetstar's YouTube page, and showcases some incredible impressive dancing, bringing a crossover battle the likes of which have yet to be seen in a comic.
The battle routine takes place over the course of seven minutes, and it gets progressively more and more ridiculous, showcasing nigh-superheroic invulnerability to floor impact until a winner is crowned.
Publishing | The Archie gang has canceled a (fictional) trip to Russia because of that country's draconian anti-gay laws. One law would allow the arrest of foreigners suspected of being gay or "pro-gay," while another defines any pro-gay statement as pornography and therefore makes it a criminal act to make such statements in front of anyone under the age of 18. Archie cartoonist Dan Parent, who created Riverdale's first openly gay character, Kevin Keller, is taking a stand in his own way: "Russia should be boycotted, so much so that actually in an upcoming special four-issue story arc I'm writing the Archie gang are going to take a world tour to four countries. Russia was to be one of them. But they're not going there now. They just can't and they won't. They love and support Kevin." [Back2Stonewall]
Graphic novels | ICv2 has the July BookScan numbers, and six of the Top 10 titles are from Image Comics (four Walking Dead, plus both volumes of Saga). The latest volume of Sailor Moon tops the list, and the first volume of Attack on Titan shows up at No. 12, which is pretty good for a book that came out more than a year ago. The only DC Comics or Marvel titles to crack the Top 20 were Hawkeye, Vol. 2 (No. 18) and perennial bestseller Watchmen (No. 19). [ICv2]
Conventions | Fans are gearing up for next month's Salt Lake Comic Con (which another article estimates will attract more than 25,000 attendees), but the announcement that professional cosplayer Jessica Nigri will be there has caused a minor controversy. [The Salt Lake Tribune]
Manga | The mega-popular series One Piece resumed publication in this week's issue of Shonen Jump, after a two-week hiatus due to manga-ka Eiichiro Oda's health problems following a tonsil infection. [Cruchyroll]
Comics | It seems like we are reading a lot about comics in the Arab world lately, and Egyptian graphic novelist Achraf Abd Elazim argues that the fourth major comics center (after New York, France and Belgium, and Japan) will be Dubai. [Your Middle East]
Comics | Michael Cavna kics off Comic Riffs' celebration of Superman's 75th birthday with a roundup of writers' opinions on why the character has stood the test of time. [Comic Riffs]
Retailing | Naruto topped the May BookScan chart of graphic novels sold in bookstores, followed by two volumes of The Walking Dead, the latest volume of Sailor Moon, and Yen Press' latest Twilight adaptation New Moon. Just three volumes total of The Walking Dead made the Top 20 (down from eight last month), and as usual, DC and Marvel got clobbered: DC had three titles on the list (two volumes of Court of Owls and Watchmen) while Marvel had one (Hawkeye), and none was above No. 15. Or to put it another way: Vol. 14 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, a high-numbered volume in a fairly niche manga series, placed higher than every Big Two book on BookScan last month. [ICv2]
Creators | With the second issue of their digital-only comic The Private Eye recently released, writer Brian K. Vaughan and artist Marcos Martin talk about their story, why they decided to do it digitally, and what the response has been so far. [The Verge]
Graphic novels | April was a slow month for new graphic novel releases, so the BookScan Top 20 had plenty of room for some backlist titles. The Walking Dead dominated, of course, but the 10th volume of Sailor Moon was there for a second month and actually moved up a notch. And the first volume of Saga came in at No. 12, perhaps because people were curious as to what all the fuss is about. [ICv2]
Editorial cartoons | Nick Anderson, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist for the Houston Chronicle, has responded to Texas Gov. Rick Perry's criticism of Jack Ohman's cartoon with a cartoon of his own. [Comic Riffs]
Conventions | Jeff Smith, Brian Wood, Sean Murphy and Raina Telgemeier are the headline guests at the Maine Comics Arts Festival in Portland on May 19. [Foster's Daily Democrat]

By government estimates, Alaskans are sitting on trillions of feet of natural gas. Yet, on a recent local news broadcast local power companies warned that increased customer costs are just around the corner. Why? Because available gas is decreasing and it will become necessary to purchase LNG from outside sources to meet the demand.
Making Nikiski a cleaner and safer community is an uphill battle. The effort to dump hydrocarbon contaminated drilling waste near town ought to make us all ready to take action, but it appears that only money prevents it from happening.
Soldotna Middle School Intensive Needs Students would like to send a very grateful "thank you" out to the local community businesses including: Kenai Wal-Mart, Soldotna Save-U-More, and Soldotna Safeway, for the generous donations made to host a Thanksgiving Feast for the students in the Soldotna Middle School Intensive Needs program. It was observed, that the students worked very hard planning, organizing and preparing for such a special occasion.
The LeeShore Center sends our sincerest thanks to the Kenai Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for the donation of teen quilts.

We are deeply appreciative for all your support and generosity!
Thank you to Steve and Jennifer from Charlie's Pizza in Nikiski.
On Thanksgiving day Steve and Jennifer opened their doors for a Thanksgiving dinner for the public, they also made over 100 meals that were delivered and picked up. They were given over $400.00 in cash donations which they gave to the Nikiski Food Pantry located at the Methodist Church.
As always when there is a need Steve and Jennifer stepped up to help in our community.
A big thank you to all who volunteered and donated for this event.
I just finished reading your article on dipnetting (Claion, Dec. 3). I guess all I can say is, is the city council nuts? It is insane to even entertain the idea of the Kenai residents to shoulder this expense. The $240,000 required to have this inlet polluting, river raping chaotic fishery should be the sole responsibility of anyone who puts a net in the water. I know that the residents of Kenai that I know who use this fishery are respectful of our river and beaches. Not like our "guests" who treat this privilege like they are in a Fisherman Gone Wild film.
From the Nov. 27 Clarion, "Kenai River Classic Changes Months," well maybe a hook and release derby on big king salmon where they spawn cannot be sold anymore. Maybe the commissioner would no longer authorize a derby for the once great now ghostly king salmon?
'Tis the season all year long in this community and I believe all should know it. Often times we take for granted those little things that matters most.
Thank you for:
The sweet man that takes the extra time to shovel your deck and plow your driveway even though he doesn't have to;
The police officers spending those extra-long hours to help out those that wouldn't stand a chance without them;
Peninsula business owners need to wake up to reality of the misfortunate folks face on the wages paid to locals.
The minimum wage of $7.75 is barely enough to keep a full-time worker above poverty guidelines of $19,430 for a single person. On the Kenai Peninsula, finding a job that will support a single person much less a family is not just a challenge but a reality that the local business owners seem to ignore.
I have read recently that the Kenai River Sport Fishing Association sponsoring the Kenai River Classic has been moved from July to August to target Silver Salmon.
Why not help our communities of Kenai and Soldotna and move the 'Classic' to every two years and target humpies.

I already have a bright red, and some darker purple shades and was in search of a medium to dark red. It was a toss up between this and another OPI shade and I went with this one. In the bottle it appears dark red, but nothing too vampy. Once applied the color really seems to vary with lighting. In bright light it appears as a classic medium red, and in darker light its a deep red with plum tones. Once dried it has a high shine almost wet finish, and I found that two coats is perfect.

it's a very beautifull color....dosn't ship easily....this color is for chic and classy women...enjoy it
Age: 25-29

This colour is a deep red, verging on the maroon side, probably could be described as a jelly finish. Average formula.
This is a beautiful, sophisticated red. Can be considered work appropriate, non offensive. I'd even consider this for a work interview. The colour to me says confidence, class, someone who wants to look good, who is glossy and knows what they are doing. On even, well groomed nails, this colour will look very chic. Long or short nails, no problem!
Three coats to reasonable opacity, slight visible nail line. Dries to a glossy finish, but after painting I always top it off with a high shine fast drying top coat.
Even though I own several colours similar to this one, I'll always want to have this colour in my collection. If you are going to a smart event and not sure what nail polish to wear, this colour will look appropriate every time.

When I am craving a dark crimson red, this is it. It's beautiful, it lasts a long time on the nail and it isn't too purple.

Skin: Very Oily, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Blond, Straight, Fine

Love!! New favorite red, perfect on my skin tone! Lasts about 4 days for me without chipping. I needed 3 coats to not get any streaks. Gorgeous deep red color, very classic. Looks beautiful on toes too.

Another one of my all time favourites! Malaga Wine is a classic rich berry-toned red perfect for any occasion. Goes on smoothly, fully opaque after a second coat. Drying time is decent and it has a gorgeous shine to it. Perfect!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Coarse

This is the perfect red on me. Usually I wear dark reds because lighter ones look too orange or pink against my fair skin. Malaga wine though is the perfect shade. The only problem I have with it is that it looks more burgundy/brown indoors.

Love malaga wine!!! it always brightens up my skin and the red is not too red. Just nice for all occasions!

My mom has been on a hunt for the best red shade. We are both very fair-skinned, but I have dark Italian hair and she is blonde. On a shopping trip, I suggested this shade based on the rave reviews I read all the time. It was too deep on her fair skin, but luckily I inherited the bottle.
I LOVE it. I love that it looks different colors in different lighting. It varies between a deep autumn brown to a medium rich red in full sun. I only wear my manicures for a week at a time as I hate any sign of deterioration, but I know this shade does not chip within a week. The formula is a delight. I use Butter London Nail Foundation underneath and Essie Good to Go topcoat (I hate the OPIs for base and top). This is the only color that my husband compliments, telling me I have "really pretty nails" (he normally doesn't care). I am finishing grad school and starting the interview process for post-graduate work. I wouldn't wear it to an interview, but I find this shade both work and play appropriate. Though I normally switch shades weekly, I've had this one on for 4-5 weeks. Beautiful, sophisticated, and playful all at once.

LOVE this nail polish!
To me this is more of a fall/winter nail polish, since this comes in the darker end of the red polish spectrum.
This wine red color looks beautiful on my NC30skin (asian, yellow toned).
I am an absolute sucker for red polishes. I wear nothing BUT red polishes. And this is definitely one of my faves for the cooler months when I do not feel like going bright nor orangey-red with my red polish. Once again, LOVE.

Giddins and Mees see Bromley home
Many congratulations to Bromley who retained their Shepherd Neame Kent Premier title on Saturday with a comfortable win over relegated Gore Court.
Bromley are worthy champions and continued their unbeaten run in the win-lose format since it began in 2009.
Gore Court were unable to offer much resistance as Tom Mees (5-9) and Ed Giddins (3-29) tore through their batting and had them all back in the hutch for 81.
James Goodman raced to an unbeaten 53 as Bromley cruised to the title with a nine-wicket victory in just the 15th over.
At the other end of the table Tunbridge Wells gained a vital win over eighth placed Lordswood to move 14 points ahead of them, level with Sevenoaks Vine, leaving Lordswood with much work to do next weekend.
Lordswood travel to Gore Court and Tunbridge Wells host Sevenoaks Vine on the closing day next Saturday in two major battles.
In a match reduced to 40 overs a side due to early damp conditions, Lordswood invited Tunbridge Wells to bat and they made steady progress with Will Stickler 45 not out, Evert Bekker 42, Mark Smith 35 and Tom Elliott 34 the main contributors as the closed on 188 for five.
After a shaky start Lyndon Lockhart 38 and Chris Piesley 30 began to repair the damage but steady bowling from Chris Fenwick who took 3-25 and Chris Lawrence (3-28) checked their progress as they were bowled out for 138 in the 36th over.
Only one further match reached its full conclusion when, at the Vine, the Sevenoaks club were defeated by 56 runs by The Mote.
Invited to bat, The Mote made steady progress, James Hodgson leading the way with 60 supported by Caspian Paget unbeaten on 45 and Matthew White 36 as they moved along to 219 for seven at the close.
Tom Parsons took 4-34 and James Hodgson 3-33 as the Vines batting stuttered. Only Michael Barber with 56, Ollie Howick 31 and Alex Rayner 29 reached double figures as they slid to 163 all out.
The game at Bexley was sadly interrupted by weather with six overs remaining at intriguing part of the contest. When the rain came Hartley required 27 runs to win with four wickets in hand.
Bexley reached 224 all out in one over short of their allocation, with Gavin Pointer 77 and Jack Bell 44 the leading batsmen, and James Hockley and James Thompson both taking three wickets apiece.
In reply, Hartley seemed to have paced their chase well, Charlie Hemphrey scoring 69 and Scott Mckencnie 54 when rain forced them into an early finish.
No play commenced at Bickley Park where St Lawrence were the visitors, due to the damp conditions.

Covering a compact set in a Banach space by an operator range of a Banach space with basis
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: A Banach space has the approximation property if and only if every compact set in is in the range of a one-to-one bounded linear operator from a space that has a Schauder basis. Characterizations are given for spaces and quotients of spaces in terms of covering compact sets in by operator ranges from spaces. A Banach space is a space if and only if every compact set in is contained in the closed convex symmetric hull of a basic sequence which converges to zero.

Respond to Review of Maitrea
by heywood100
Review: After several days of eating pizza and noodles in Prague, this was a very welcome break. The restaurant was very busy, and we arrived just in time to get one of the few remaining non-reserved tables, and were treated to a very large and wide-ranging menu with options from many different cuisines including Czech. I tried the seitan goulash, which looked a little small when it came but was actually perfectly filling. I decided to splash out on desert as well and had the intriguing and very tasty pureed strawberry with cookies. The staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere of the place is delightful - well worth a visit, but you might want to reserve a table in advance, as it does seem to get (deservedly) very busy.

Bloomberg: NFL Loses $1.5B+ By Ignoring Betting
Like everywhere else, the NFL needs to find new revenue streams to ward off recession and accommodate new expenses for things like paying medical benefits for veterans. It's hard to see how they'll be able to do it given the current economic climate, unless you take a suggestion from a BLOOMBERG editorial written by Joe Saumarez-Smith into consideration. Saumarez-Smith claims that, by licensing betting on the league's games, the NFL could easily net $1.5 billion per year … as a starting point.
Granted, Saumarez-Smith has his own interests in mind; he's the CEO of Sports Gaming, a British management consulting firm to the gaming industry. But he does make a number of important points, not the least of which is pure logic: Why should the league allow bets to be made in Las Vegas but not everywhere? All it would take is licensing casinos in other states to allow betting on NFL games. It's not a hard thing to do.

The first type of question is "me-focused." A me-focused question is a question to which you, the interviewee, would like to have an answer. On the other hand, a "you-focused" question deals with the interests and needs of the interviewers.
During an interview, you only have a few minutes to make a very good impression on the partners (who are the most relevant decision makers), and assuming your goal is to receive an offer, you need to choose selectively the types of questions you ask them.
The questions you ask provide the partners with a clear window into your head; questions illustrate your mindset and suggest your priorities and goals. They show where you're at in your head. As such, understanding the differences between me-focused and you-focused questions can have a tremendous impact on your interview success with partners.
Me-Focused Questions
Here is a list of the most common me-focused questions that interviewees typically ask:
- What type of training will I receive?
- What types of resources will you provide me?
- Will I get to work on [insert type of work you are most interested in]?
- What are the average billable hours? (Subtext: How hard will I have to work?)
- How much are bonuses? (Subtext: How much money will I receive?)
- Will I have opportunities to work on pro bono matters?
Oftentimes, candidates will make the mistake of asking all of their me-focused questions up front. Once they receive positive answers, they are very enthusiastic. On the other hand, the interviewers/partners walk away feeling that they have answered a lot of questions that were of interest to the interviewee, but they have very limited information as to why the interviewee would be a good fit.
If you step back and understand the purpose of an interview—at least through the employers' eyes—it is to determine whether you are the appropriate person to assist with their needs. Their needs, not yours. I do not mean to suggest that your needs or interests are not important, as they certainly are, but if you cannot first demonstrate that you can meet the needs of the employers, the discussion is over.
Many times, me-focused questions can be answered by online research, or interviewers will volunteer this information during the interview. If the information is not volunteered, one common strategy is to wait until you have an offer in hand to ask the very me-focused or difficult questions; you can also wait until you have already asked the you-focused questions.
You-Focused Questions
You-focused questions are typically much more effective to start off with because, after all, they focus on the needs and interests of the interviewers/partners.
Here are some examples of the most common you-focused questions that interviewees ask:
- Where could you use the most support right now in your practice?
- What precipitated your hiring need right now?
- What would be your ideal candidate for this position?
- Are there any particular characteristics of attorneys who do especially well in your practice group?
- What do you like about practicing in your group/firm?
The beauty is that when you ask the you-focused questions, you will gain a much better idea of the interviewers' specific needs. Also, it demonstrates that you have an interest in learning about how you can fit into their practice based on their needs.
My candidates have told me that when they ask you-focused questions, something amazing happens. The interviewers immediately get more energized and interested in the interview. It is as if they think, "Finally, somebody is interested in how they can help me!" Even if you do not do very much selling of yourself, the impression the interviewers walk away with is "This person understands my/our needs," and this puts you at a distinct advantage.
This article just touches on one of the many important aspects of a successful interview. But if you keep this distinction in mind and consciously focus on you-focused questions from the outset, you will separate yourself from most of the other me-focused candidates.
Happy interviewing!

Sep 28 2013, 9:36pm CDT | by IANS
Moscow, Sep 29 — Russia Saturday urged the international community to take pragmatic steps to destroy Syrian chemical weapons after a unanimously approved a UN Security Council resolution (UNSC).
"To achieve the aim, it is necessary to focus on the energetic implementation, avoiding any politicisation when carrying out the practical tasks," reported Xinhua citing the Russian foreign ministry in a statement, referring to the late Friday resolution which envisages elimination of Syrian chemical arsenals in the first half of 2014.
Noting that the process "will require substantial financial, organisational and technical support," Moscow called on the international community to provide it "in a short period of time".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, in an interview with Russian TV Channel, said the resolution "absolutely rules out the use of force or any application of Chapter VII (of the UN Charter)".
He said any possible use of force in the future under Chapter VII will need a new resolution, if there is "convincing and unequivocal proof" of non-compliance.
Lavrov also reminded that all UN member states, especially neighbours of Syria, should take measures to prevent chemical weapons from being supplied to the opposition through their territories.
Russia is ready to participate in the operation in Syria "in all its components", facilitating the implementation of the agreements reached by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the UN, he added.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the resolution will ensure that the elimination of Syrian chemical weapons programme "happens as soon as possible and with the utmost transparency and accountability".

Smart Community
Smart Community is a next-generation community where optimized management and control of infrastructure creates a more resilient smart grid that is favorable to humans and the environment.
A smart community is a community that seeks to develop "smart" solutions for the community as a whole, by using information and communications technology (ICT). A smart community also promotes the use of renewable energies, integrated management, and optimized controls for infrastructure. This includes electric power, heat, water, traffic, healthcare, and lifestyle information. The Toshiba Group is helping to create smart communities that strike a balance between environmental considerations and comfortable living. We create solutions from multiple components, including energy, water, traffic, healthcare, offices, manufacturing, and households.
A number of problems need to be solved when considering global sustainability. For instance, there is the issue of population. Populations in Africa and Asia will continue to grow in the future, and are expected to be 1.5 times their current size by 2050, when the world population is predicted to surpass nine billion people. This will cause heightened concerns over problems related to food, resources and the environment.
-Rapid population growth in developing countries and concentration in urban areas
-Increasing energy demands linked to growth in Asia
-Global warming due to rising CO2 emissions and increased incidence of natural disasters
-Explosive growth in digital data with the advancement of ICT
The Toshiba Group has already participated in more than 30 smart community demonstration projects around the world. Toshiba's cloud-based solutions for social infrastructure provide services that satisfy the differing needs in developing and developed countries.
A wide range of solutions are required, from smart grids that use energy efficiently to water management, traffic control, healthcare, disaster prevention and security. The complex, cutting-edge and sophisticated applications that coordinate these solutions with one another and perform optimum control are achieved with Toshiba technologies and expertise.
When explaining the role of smart communities, Toshiba goes one step beyond the stage of "What can we do?" and describes the different levels and advantages posed by the question "How much can we do?"
Leveraging a wide range of experience and know-how acquired from the stable operation of social infrastructure over many years, Toshiba is confident in its ability to present more effective and more sophisticated solutions based on precise simulations and highly accurate predictions.

Give Rick Perry credit. Although his presidential campaign is all but dead, he has still managed to revitalize the phony-baloney war on Christmas.
It's actually worse than that. Anyone can do war on Christmas. Fox does it in its sleep — or maybe it's in my sleep. But Perry, who still pretends to be a serious candidate, says Barack Obama is leading a war against religion. He was leading it, I guess, except when he was singing Christmas carols while lighting that giant anti-religious tree in the White House.
Look, I expect Fox to try to breathe life into stuff like this. It's ratings material. Maybe you heard about the the Rhode Island "tree lighting" ceremony. Some group demanded to know why Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee — a turncoat Republican who's now a Democrat — didn't say "Christmas tree" lighting? Does he hate Christmas? Or was it an attack on Christmas lights? I know: Maybe Obama is now mandating what kind of tree bulbs we can use.
Still, I was hoping the war was nearly over. There wasn't a treaty signing or anything — that's so World War II — but I thought that, even over at Fox, there must be limits on how long you can keep fake outrage alive. And Politico has reported that when Newt Gingrich was speaker, in the mid-'90s, he preferred "holiday" tree. Where does that leave us?
Besides, we've had other things to distract us. There's the Tim Tebow controversy and what Christianity means to the seven-step drop.
The Tebow controversy isn't really a controversy at all. Even though Tebow has come to transcend sports, the story is still, in the end, about football — and, of course, about Tebowing. My favorite sports-religion story comes form former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver, who was once asked by a particularly religious player if he wanted to walk with the Lord. And Weaver answered that he'd rather walk with the bases loaded.
It's a baseball joke, but we could use the laugh because, thanks to Perry, the war has just turned ugly.
If you haven't seen his 30-second TV ad that's running in Iowa, you should. Not because it's important politically. Perry, after all, is basically through. And not even because its anti-gay message should be outed.
You should watch it because this, I'm hoping, really is the end of something. Perry must believe that the way to resurrect his campaign — which has imploded for the simple reason that he's not nearly up to the job — is to appeal to the prejudices he must believe exist in Iowa. I'm sure the voters in Iowa will tell him otherwise.
Here's the text in part:
"I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.
"As president, I'll end Obama's war on religion. And I'll fight against liberal attacks on our religious heritage ... ."
There are so many questions. Why would he be ashamed to admit he's a Christian? I'm Jewish. I'm not ashamed to admit it. Is anyone out there ashamed to admit his religion? The real strength of America is that we have so many religions — and people who don't believe in any religion — and yet, here in the 21st century, we have so little religious intolerance. Even the mosque controversies are mostly minor, particularly given that, in some countries, the post-9/11 era could have led to far more serious incidents. That's American exceptionalism for you.
But Perry's ad takes us back. I don't get how you juxtapose gays serving openly in the military with an inability to pray in schools. What's it got to do with Christmas, and did anyone tell Jimmy Stewart? Maybe it's just me, but I'm wondering how "don't ask, don't tell" (you know, lying by omission) comports with biblical teachings.
Perry is not really talking about religion. He's talking about conservative Christian concerns. If this were a hundred years ago, he'd throw in dancing and pool halls. He's not even talking about gay marriage — an issue in question — but about gays doing a job. That's old-fashioned prejudice.
But that isn't what Perry is getting at either. When he says Obama is leading the war on religion, everyone understands the ugly code.
If you really want to talk presidential politics and religion, you have to start with Mitt Romney and Mormonism. It was a prominent Perry endorser, Robert Jeffress, who said Mormonism was a "cult." Perry said he disagreed about the cult thing but that he wouldn't disown the pastor's endorsement.
And so here's the irony: The politician who makes a fake cry about so-called religious intolerance is the one actually encouraging it.
Merry Christmas.

Well, check this out at 3:50/3:51 into the video:
On the first look, it kinda resembled a grey alien with the big, black eyes. This in the frame of a TV-transmission that seems lightly disturbed. Big announcement? I guess I have to check out this video some more...
