The Dallas Mavericks have sent Jared Cunningham back to their NBA Development League team.
The move Monday was the second time the rookie guard has been assigned to the Texas Legends, who play in the Dallas suburb of Frisco. He averaged 18 points in seven games earlier this season.
Cunningham has played in eight games for the Mavericks, averaging two points and 3 minutes per game.
The Mavericks also added veteran guard Mike James for the rest of the season. Dallas either had to guarantee him the prorated amount of the $1.2 million veteran minimum or let him go after signing him to a pair of 10-day contracts.

Economic opportunity
To build a brighter economic future, we know that young people around the world need education, resources and support. Watch the video above to learn how we're empowering young people in Africa to go after their dreams, start their own businesses, and succeed — no matter what challenges they may face.
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Delicious! Only change I made was using fresh diced cherry tomatoes and adding Italian seasoning. It wasn't too time-consuming, and I had no problems cooking the gnocchi as directed. Will make again and again!
Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
From EatingWell: January/February 2009
In this one-skillet supper, we toss dark leafy greens, diced tomatoes and white beans with gnocchi and top it all with gooey mozzarella. Serve with a mixed green salad with vinaigrette.
418 Reviews for Skillet Gnocchi with Chard & White Beans
This is one of the best recipes I found on the website! The flavors are wonderful, and it's still just as good the next day. The only change I would make is adding a few less beans. I think 3/4 of the can would be plenty.
This is one of my very favorites - I make it heartier by adding sweet Italian turkey sausage, which I fry up (no oil needed) before I cook the gnocchi. So good, fairly easy, and a one-pot (well, pan) meal!
Very good meal with great leftovers. Quick and easy to make and tastes wonderful. I usually add a little more cheese than the recipe calls for. Only downside is cooking the gnocchi. I've made this dish many times and finally switched to boiling the gnocchi rather than pan frying them because they stick to the pan and make a mess. Enjoy!

Found Sweet Potato Gnocchi...used rosemary as the herb with them in my version ....WONDERFUL...sounds odd but the flavor combo is just terrific. This is one of my FAVORITE veggie meals. Really really good.

Man wish they were individual haha I'm about to buy that Uncle Sam one for nearly $25
I guess it's necessary to write an essay about transition from being an Offspring fan to someone who'd sell his collection of T-shirts with explanation of the process of emotional detachment to the level when you reach the line of not feeling all comfy anymore about wearing Offspring T-shirts exclusively to avoid the risk of being nitpicked by denizens of this place when you're letting them know that you're willing to sell a bunch of cheap clothes these days.
Before you speak think about what you're trying to say.
Who else is there to blame for miscommunication?
I would just like to point out that the guy said that not is he only "grown up" from wearing Offspring shirts, he decided not to wear band shirts in general. So I guess it is not just about The Offspring. A little detail, but somehow I had to say it just for the sake of completeness.

Do you feel irritable, isolated or withdrawn? Do you find yourself working all the time? Drinking too much? These unhealthy coping strategies may be clues that you have male depression.
Depression can affect men differently than it does women. When depression occurs in men, it may be masked by unhealthy coping behavior. For a number of reasons, male depression often goes undiagnosed and can have devastating consequences when it goes untreated. But male depression usually gets better with treatment.
Depression signs and symptoms can differ in men and women. Men also tend to use different coping skills — both healthy and unhealthy — than women do. It isn't clear why men and women may experience depression differently. It likely involves a number of factors, including brain chemistry, hormones and life experiences.
Like women, men with depression may feel blue, feel extremely tired, have difficulty sleeping and not get pleasure from activities they once enjoyed. But other behaviors in men that could be signs of depression — but not recognized as such — include:
Because these behaviors could be signs of or might overlap with other mental health issues, professional help is the key to an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Men with depression often aren't diagnosed for several reasons. Some of them include:
Although women attempt suicide more often than men do, men are more likely to complete suicide. That's because men:

Joint Press Release
Madrid, 4 June 2009 – His Majesty the King, His Highness the Aga Khan, the Honorary President of "la Caixa" and First Vice-President of "la Caixa", Ricardo Fornesa, today inaugurated the exhibition "The Islamic Worlds in the Aga Khan Museum Collection" at CaixaForum Madrid. Jaime Lanaspa, Director of "la Caixa" Foundation and Luis Monreal, Director of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture also attended the opening ceremony.
The aim of the exhibition, organised by "la Caixa" Social and Cultural Outreach Projects and devoted to ancient cultures, is to show how people from different times and places have confronted major global concerns and also to widen our own world view. Outstanding among recent "la Caixa" events have been exhibitions of Indian figurative sculpture and Etruscan civilisation.
"The Worlds of Islam in the Aga Khan Museum Collection", organised by "la Caixa" Social and Cultural Outreach Projects in cooperation with the Aga Khan Trust for Culture – the cultural arm of the Aga Khan Development Network – presents a total of 190 artefacts representing fourteen centuries of history and extending from the Iberian Peninsula to the Far East. After its first showing at CaixaForum Madrid, the exhibition will travel to Barcelona where it can be seen from October 2009 to January 2010.
The exhibition sets out to examine current issues surrounding the polarity between east and west and to explore aspects of Muslim culture, which is also an integral part of Spain's historic heritage. Through works of art from different periods and different parts of the world, the exhibition reflects the splendour of Muslim culture in all its diversity, providing proof of the pluralism of Islam, in its ways of interpreting the Qur'anic faith as well as in the variety of styles, materials and techniques involved in the creation of these works.
The exhibits feature significant and valuable items from practically every dynasty in the history of the Muslim world. These provide an overview of the Islamic world's finest artistic achievements in wood, stone, gold, bronze, ivory, ceramics and textiles, and on parchment and paper.
Currently, AKTC is in the process of building a museum in Toronto (Canada) to provide a permanent home for its collections. Meanwhile, the works are being shown in various cities around the world.
The exhibition presents the different Islamic dynasties, identifying the territories over which each dynasty ruled following the break-up of the Abbasid caliphate at the end of the ninth century. The Umayyads held sway over al-Andalus, the Fatimids and the Mamelukes reigned in Egypt, the Ottomans in Turkey, and the Safavids in Iran and the Mughals in India. The essential characteristics of Islamic courtly culture can be seen in generic portraits of respective sovereigns in profile. The works of art on display also emphasise the high cultural level of the Islamic courts responsible for spreading knowledge of Ancient Greece to the west via translations in Arabic.
Also reflected in the exhibition are the fundamental features of Islamic architecture, including a capital in the Roman tradition but with Islamic ornamental motifs, as well as beams and doors in carved wood. The most outstanding examples of painting are found in books illustrated with miniatures and portraits of kings and sultans.
The exhibits are divided into three large sections. The central section is devoted to The Qur'anic Faith while the other two guide viewers through various Islamic courts using as a metaphor a journey in two stages – From Cordoba to Damascus and From Baghdad to Delhi.
The Qur'anic Faith
The Qur'an was a source of inspiration for the many artists, artisans and architects who created sumptuous examples of the holy book with beautiful calligraphy, as well as works of refined sensibility designed to spread the teachings of the Qur'an across the Islamic world. Copying verses of the Qur'an was regarded as a form of religious devotion, hence their presence in a wide variety of settings. Throughout this section, visitors can admire distinctive and highly decorative styles of Arabic script.
From Cordoba to Damascus
Under the Umayyad caliphate, the Iberian Peninsula formed part of a vast transcontinental empire extending from Cordoba to Damascus which became the pinnacle of human civilisation. All new ideas came from the east, in the form of literary and scientific works from Antiquity, lost after the fall of the Roman Empire but preserved in Arabic translation. So, too, did the works of great Muslim humanists and scientists which laid the foundations for the development of astronomy, mathematics and natural history. The artistic styles of Byzantium and Ancient Persia also spread along the trade routes.
From Baghdad to Delhi
In the seventh-century Arabo-Muslim invaders seized all the territories belonging to their former rival, the Persian Empire, uniting the lands between the Rivers Tagus and Indus to create a single entity. Artistically, as a result of commercial and cultural contacts and the presence of Chinese artists, Far Eastern influences were added to the predominant Persian style.

Artistic Mornings: The Worlds of Islam
Courses led by Islamologist Víctor PALLEJÀ of the University of Alicante
Friday 5 June, 11.30 a.m.
An approach to Islamic art: unity and multiplicity
To gain a better understanding of Islamic art it is important to appreciate how it maintains unity in a context that is very broad and also extremely complex. The usual, sometimes ill-defined, boundaries and concepts must be re-examined so as to achieve a global and intelligent vision of "the Worlds of Islam".
Thursday 11 June, 11.30 a.m.
The fascination of the written word: epigraphy and the Qur'an
Islam's sacred text, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a long period, occupies a central place in Qur'anic artistic sensibility. It is crucial to understand why calligraphy is the visual art par excellence and how it offers the reader a deeper comprehension of the language. A study of calligraphy reveals many of the deepest secrets of the calligrapher's art.
Friday 19 June, 11:30 a.m.
Living in a cosmopolitan culture: architecture and movement
Islamic art and artists have lived in a civilisation that is simultaneously urban and itinerant. Palaces, gardens and houses have frequently provided shelter for people on the move. These twin aspects of artistic life in the Muslim world explain the development and large-scale dissemination of the unique aesthetic that distinguishes Islamic art. Its unique "architecture" goes hand-in-hand with a sophisticated way of life that endured for centuries and is still much admired today.
Friday, 26 June, 11.30 a.m.
Artistic experience and sensibility: pilgrimage and mysticism
The rich fund of allusions and ideas expressed in Islamic art stem from a vast store of traditions and teachings developed within Islam. Specifically, pilgrimage has created a way of life that has allowed art to flourish at every level of society. Among its many spiritual dimensions, the world of the Sufis provides an important inspiration for artistic expression, full of different meanings and communicating artists' personal experiences.
Music on Film – A Series about the Music of Central Asia
During the Soviet era, the traditions of many Central Asian republics were diluted by the cultural and artistic uniformity imposed from Moscow. Most of the musical traditions of these cultures were lost or forced to undergo considerable modifications to comply with western models and tastes. However, with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 musicians from Central Asia began a journey back to their roots with the aim of recovering and preserving the treasures of their cultural heritage and making them known to a much wider public.
Co-produced by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the Smithsonian Institute's Centre for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, the series presents some of the finest exponents of the different musical traditions of Central Asia through the medium of high-quality documentary films. These focus on the lives, work and sources of inspiration of a generation of musicians whose talent and innovative ideas have revitalised this musical legacy. These intimate and moving portraits invite viewers to explore fascinating but still virtually unknown cultures.

Sarah replies:
So my girlfriend and I have and are three days into the treatment for chlamydia. Is it okay to have sex with a condom, or not?
Whenever you or a partner are being treated for an STI or any infection, it's best to hold off all sexual activity until you are sure everything is clear and healed up. Even if your symptoms seem to have disappeared, it can take your bodies a while to completely clear the infection and get back to normal. If one of you were to be clear and the other not, it's also possible that you might pass the infection back. Also, many infections can cause irritation, so engaging in sexual activities that create friction can further inflame the already fragile tissue. While condoms would obviously help prevent transmission, they won't help with the friction and irritation issue.
So, you really want to wait until your treatments are finished and you are both clear and healed. If you didn't ask at your appointment, you will want to call the office of the health care provider who provided the diagnosis and treatments and ask how long they advise waiting before engaging in any sexual activities. Up until you get the go ahead from them though, you'll want to avoid sexual activities involving your genitals or your partners'.

Using Curves to make color adjustments
I keep noticing a lot of people mentioning adjusting photos. There is actually a very simple method for using Photoshop that gives you the points you need to make adjustments in curves. I got it from an old episode of Photoshop User TV (available as a free download on iTunes). Unfortunately I don't remember which episode. I strongly advise subscribing to the iTunes Photoshop User TV and Matt's Killer Photoshop Tips podcasts on iTunes.
I'm not a teacher, but I will list the steps I do in Photoshop CS3.
1. Open the photo you want to color correct in Photoshop.
2. Select the color sampler tool from the tool bar (this is under the eyedropper tool).
3. Click on the half white half black icon (create adjustment layer) on the bottom right of screen and choose threshold.
4. Click on the threshold graph and drag triangle all the way to the left (photo will go completely white). Then drag it back to the right until you start to see spots of black on your photo (this shows you the darkest points in your photo).
5. Click the OK button on the threshold graph. Then use your cursor to click on one of the black spots. This will leave a circle with a 1 next to it on your photo.
6. Double click on the icon in your adjustment layer (this brings the graph back up). Click on the triangle and drag it all the way to the right (photo will go completely black),. Then slowly drag the triangle back to the left until you see a big enough white spot on your photo that you can click on (this gives you the lightest points in your photo).
7. Click the OK button on the threshold graph to close it. Then use your cursor to click on one of the white spots. This will leave a circle with a 2 next to it on your photo.
8. Delete the threshold layer by dragging it to the trashcan.
9. Add a new layer (by clicking on the square with the corner turned up).
10. Go to Edit, Fill (or hold down the shift key and press the Backspace key). For content choose 50% gray.
11. Change the blend mode of the gray filled layer to Difference.
12. Click on add new adjustment layer (half black half white circle) and choose threshold (your threshold graph should start in the center and go to the left).
13. Click on the triangle and slide it all the way to the left (photo goes completely white). Then slowly come back to the right until you see spots of black. This shows you where the midpoint spots are in your photo (values between darkest and lightest points).
14. Click the OK button on the threshold graph to close it. Then use your cursor to click on one of the black spots. This will leave a circle with a 3 next to it on your photo.
15. Delete the two layers (threshold and the one filled with gray).
16. Click the add adjustment layer (zen circle) and choose Curves. Below the graph are three eyedroppers. Click on the eyedropper furthest to the left (this sets your shadows). Mouse over your photo and click on the circle with the 1 next to it.
17. Go back to your curves graph and click on the eyedropper furthest to the right (this sets your highlights value). Mouse over the photo and click on the circle with the 2 next to it.
18. Go back to your curves graph and click on the eyedropper beneath it that is in the middle (this sets your mid-tones value). Mouse over the photo and click on the circle with the 3 next to it.
19. Click the OK button on the curves graph to close it.
20. To remove the numbered circles click the clear button (under the menu names at the top of the screen).
This gives me perfect color almost every time, because it uses the color values in the photo.
Awesome tutorial. I am using a trial of CS2, and you guys are definitely convincing me it is worth upgrading from PSE 7.
Great job explaining a tough subject, Katie!
I agree Dona! Curves are difficult to explain to me, but what a job done below! Fantastic tut Katie!

I have used curves, but for me, it is too time consuming. Like Lightroom, I just never got the hang of it.
I have a great Photoshop book by Scott Kelby who walks you through each and every step, and actually makes things easy to understand.
I even think that Scott Kelby has books for Elements too.
I still prefer to use the adjustment layers/opacity levels for most of the photo treatments I do.
The wonderful thing about photoshop is that there are multiple ways of doing the same thing. The important thing is to keep try methods, tutorials, techniques until you find the ones that work for you.
Great tutorial. Photoshop is a huge learning curve. It's never ending and then they come up with a newer version and the learning starts all over again. There's definitely different ways to adjust photos. I've found a few PS actions that help for different effects and it saves a lot of time. I have a few favourites and I found them free just by googling them.

Pre-School and Kindergarten
Bullying is a form of violence. It can be physical, verbal, psychological, or sexual. Here are some examples of bullying:
- Physical: hitting, kicking, spitting, pushing
- Verbal: teasing, threatening, name-calling
- Psychological: excluding someone, spreading rumors, intimidating
- Sexual: touching, assault, exhibitionism, and many of the actions listed above
Bullying may also occur through the Internet or other forms of technology. This is known as cyberbullying. It is sending or posting hurtful material.
Bullying is common, but it should not be viewed as a normal part of growing up. It is more damaging to children than previously thought. Bullying has a negative effect on a student's ability to learn.
Schools are responsible for creating safe environments for all students. They must work to prevent bullying, and they must respond to it when it happens.
The California Department of Education offers information and resources for parents, administrators, and students about bullying.

The Eastern Surfing Association All-Star team is a collection of the organization's most talented surfers. Every year they take a trip to a new locale leading up to the ESA Easterns to refine their skills prior to the biggest competition of the year. With the championship event looming just around corner they chose a quick strike mission to Nicaragua for a week long shred fest.
Here is what Coach Pat Emery had to say about the trip…
"The All-Star team is a group of surfers chosen to represent the ESA. This years team is comprised of 18 guys and girls, narrowed down from 8,000 members. They are the elite of the organization, some of which have hopes to compete on the WQS and ultimately the WT, so this is a good platform to set them on the way towards those goals. Slater's been through the program, Gabe Kling, the Lopez's, the Hobgood's, there's been so many great surfers really. I took over a couple years ago and have had the chance to bring the team to Costa Rica and now Nicaragua. Only 12 of the 18 were able to make it to Nicaragua, but since this team is smaller than in years past every surfer is a standout. I'm not just saying that either [laughs], they all surf really well. That's what this trip was about – three sessions a day and early to bed. We had the kids eating healthy, no candy at all. Actually one girl, and we wont name any names [laughs], was caught with a candy bar and had to give me 100 pushups. She handled it well, it was all in good fun. And little Luke Gordon, only 11, experienced surfing bigger waves for the first time. He was nervous in the beginning and then took some poundings and by trips end was out there with the big boys. Everyone improved drastically during the week from surfing with one another, and that was always the goal."
*The All-Star's would like to extend a special thanks to SNP (Surf Nano Products) for supporting the program and the trip to Nicaragua.

Financial institutions have been censured for lagging behind in grabbing opportunities associated with sale of shares of listed firms thus pulling back efforts to promote capital market investment.
Although the legislation provided by the Capital Markets and Securities Authority and the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange does not compel banks and other financial institutions to trade listed shares in their businesses, some of these institutions are still reluctant accept them, particularly from investors who want to use the certificates as collaterals for loans.
Speaking to The Guardian in an interview, CMSA Public Relations Manager Charles Shirima, said some commercial banks have been accepting shares of listed companies to be used as collateral but other s have not been providing this vital service.
"This is a world wide practice whereby banks accept share certificate as collateral in order to promote capital markets, but in Tanzania many financial institutions are reluctant to take it up for their own causes," he added.
Experts in financial management and investment have however called on the government to review the legislation to enable bourse investors to use their share certificates as collateral when look for loans from financial institutions.
This was said in Dar es Salaam on Monday by Samson Liwenga, a stock market expert, when speaking on the current challenges facing the development of capital makrtes.
He said by allowing share certificates from listed companies to be used as collateral for loan procurement, for example, it would enable the investors to expand their business horizons.
"We all know that loans play a crucial role in development, time has come for all the commercial banks to accept share certificates to be used as collateral for loans inssuance," he insisted.
Liwenga, who is based in Malawi said some commercial banks in African countries have started to accept shares as collateral for money borrowing.
"We have countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Ethiopia where their commercial banks are already using certificates as loan guarantors," he added.
He said, in Tanzania, already only few commercial banks have started to accept share certificates as guarantee for loan issuance.
Even the CMSA acknowledge that financial institutions are increasingly accepting shares, particularly of listed companies, as collateral for loans, he said.
The authority said central depository system based process to mortgage shares has proved beneficial for both lenders and borrowers as it is transparent, not time consuming, has no valuation costs and chances of forgery are minimal.
"Treasury bonds and bills and listed corporate bonds are equally acceptable to most by lending institutions as collaterals, " he said.
UTT board chairman Prof Joseph Kuzilwa was recently quoted as saying that the institution is planning to enable its shareholders access bank loans using their share certificates as collateral.
He said some banks including CRDB, Barclays, StanChart and Azania have also approved the programme to allow UTT shareholders to acquire loans through their savings.
Another expert, Jerome Kanama urged the DSE to provide information and educate Tanzanians on the benefits of investing in the stock market.
"Trading at the DSE would benefit only a few people, especially those residing in Dar es Salaam. People from the rest of the country seem completely unaware of the significance of participating at the bourse," he noted.
He outlined the direct benefits in investing in the stock market as dividends, selling and trading stocks and using shares as collateral to access bank loans.
"This is a long-term investment that shareholders should focus their attention on for their own economic benefits," he said.
However, the bourse admits that few privatised firms are listed, saying the main reason is that most of them are not making profits.
Another reason for the few listings is that a firm is required to conform to bourse regulations, among which is making profit for three years in a row, a prerequisite most of privatised parastatals lack.

A view of the north end of The Rock of Gibraltar in the setting sun.
Gibraltar is a small overseas territory of the United Kingdom with slightly under 30,000 people strategically located on Strait of Gibraltar that links the North Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, adjoining Spain.
Strategically important, Gibraltar was reluctantly ceded to Great Britain by Spain in the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht. The British garrison was formally declared a colony in 1830.
In a referendum held in 1967, Gibraltarians voted overwhelmingly to remain a British dependency.
The subsequent granting of autonomy in 1969 by the UK led to Spain closing the border and severing all communication links.
A series of talks were held by the United Kingdom and Spain between 1997 and 2002 on establishing temporary joint sovereignty over Gibraltar. In response to these talks, the Gibraltar Government called a referendum in late 2002 in which the majority of citizens voted overwhelmingly against any sharing of sovereignty with Spain.
Since late 2004, tripartite talks among Spain, the UK, and Gibraltar have been held with the aim of cooperatively resolving problems that affect the local population, and work continues on cooperation agreements in areas such as taxation and financial services; communications and maritime security; policy, legal and customs services; environmental management; and education and visa services.
Throughout 2009, a dispute over Gibraltar's claim to territorial waters extending out three miles gave rise to periodic non-violent
maritime confrontations between Spanish and UK naval patrols.
A new noncolonial constitution came into effect in 2007, and the European Court of First Instance recognized Gibraltar's right to regulate its own tax regime in December 2008, but the UK retains responsibility for defense, foreign relations, internal security, and financial stability.
Its major environmental issues include:
- limited natural freshwater resources:
- large concrete or natural rock water catchments collect rainwater (no longer used for drinking water) and adequate desalination plant
Location: Southwestern Europe, bordering the Strait of Gibraltar, which links the Mediterranean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean, on the southern coast of Spain
Geographic Coordinates: 36 08 N, 5 21 W
Area: 6.5 sq km
Land Boundaries: 1.2 km with Spain
Coastline: 12 km
Maritime Claims: territorial sea: 3 nm
Terrain: A narrow coastal lowland borders the Rock of Gibraltar. The highest point is Rock of Gibraltar (426 m).
Climate: Mediterranean with mild winters and warm summers
Government Type: overseas territory of the UK
Legal System: the laws of the UK, where applicable, apply.

Self-sufficient Gibraltar benefits from an extensive shipping trade, offshore banking, and its position as an international conference center. Tax rates are low to attract foreign investment.
The British military presence has been sharply reduced and now contributes about 7% to the local economy, compared with 60% in 1984.
The financial sector, tourism (almost 5 million visitors in 1998), gaming revenues, shipping services fees, and duties on consumer goods also generate revenue. The financial sector, tourism, and the shipping sector contribute 30%, 30%, and 25%, respectively, of GDP. Telecommunications, e-commerce, and e-gaming account for the remaining 15%.
In recent years, Gibraltar has seen major structural change from a public to a private sector economy, but changes in government spending still have a major impact on the level of employment.
GDP: (Purchasing Power Parity): $1.275 billion (2008)
GDP: (Official Exchange Rate): $1.106 billion (2006 est.)
GDP- per capita (PPP): $43,000 (2006 est.)

ARDMORE, OK - The cooler temperatures and recent rains have led to a repeal of oklahoma's state-issued burn bans.
Governor Mary Fallin said the lower wildfire risk led her to lift the bans.
Emergency managers are still urging Oklahomans to use caution when starting fires outdoors because many counties are still in a drought.
Cimarron is the only county in the state still under a burn ban.

Nothing could be more jolting and discordant with the vision of today's intellectuals than the fact that it was businessmen, devout religious leaders and Western imperialists who together destroyed slavery around the world.

The polar vortex is over and the Amelia Island Concours is coming!
Here on the upper East Coast we are rather sick of that whole winter thing. Polar Vortex and ice and snow and sleet and school closings are hopefully on the wain. Its time to look forward to sunny skies and beautiful cars for the automotive enthusiasts among us.
So that brings us to the 2014 edition of the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. This concours is held on the luscious grounds of the Ritz Carlton. 300 of the world's finest automobiles, motorcycles and race cars will grace the greens of the impecable golf course, a virtual feast for the eyes.
Every year Bill Warner and his vast crew of volunteers and veterans have chosen some of the most incredible pieces of transportation. You'll find everything from $50 million dollar Ferraris to incredible Duesenburgs and grand classics to cars that you never knew existed.
Some of the featured classes and cars from this year are: General Lyon's Duesenberg which is a 1930 Model J Speedster featuring a dissapearing convetible top. Ralph Marano is a highly regarded Packard collector and he is bringing all ten of his Packard concept cars from the 50's. You'll be able to see the re-debut of the Chrylser La Contesse Concept car. The Stirling Moss 450S Le Mans Coupe will be one of the featured cars helping to celebrate the Maserati centenary. A set of BMW "Batmobiles" will be on the greens, representing the German's 180mph winged monsters from the 70's. The BMW's represent one of the unique features of the Amelia Island Concours, that is Bill Warner's love of race cars.
So as a teaser, let's take a look at some previous entrants to the Amelia Island Concours.
Here we see old meets new. The "Grey Wolf" meets the Sunoco Javalin race car from the Trans Am series.
2008 saw the greatest gathering of Thomas Flyers that anyone in the last 50 years could remember. Above we see the actual Thomas Flyer that won in the famous 1908 New York to Paris race.
The National Automobile Museum in Reno Nevada, loaned the world famous Thomas Flyer for the 100th anniversary of its epic 22,000 mile race. George Schuster, the only member of the US team to drive the entire route, assisted Bill Harrah restore the car to its original trim as it entered Paris 26 days in front of the next competitor.
The Lamborghini Muira Roadster in a rare appearance at the Amelia Island Concours last year. Photo courtesy of Brett Lemoine.
This is the only Roadster created and built by the factory, making it very special indeed. It was named the ZN75.
Here is Malcolm Pray and his beloved 1939 Delahaye Type 135 M next to the predecessor to the Ferrari GTO. Its the 1962 Ferrari 250 Experimental chassis 2643GT.
Unfortunately we lost Malcolm Pray in 2013. He was a main stay at so many concours events. He will be missed. This years judges sheets (which I designed) are a tribute to his many contributions to the field.
You just never know what is going to come around the corner. Here we see Wayne Carini from Velocity's Chasing Classic Cars driving one of the Moal Couchbuilders Torpedo.
A great place to hang out is right in front of the Ritz, especially during Saturday. All sorts of cars are loading up and tooling around. Then you walk in and see the RM Auction as well as some of the great seminars and take advantage of the exotic test drives.
Yes, the Amelia Island Concours should be on every car lovers bucket list. Come for the weather and stay for the cars!

Lisa Rayner is the author of The Sunny Side of Cooking solar cookbook.
What if there was a year-round method of cooking that was low cost, powered by sunlight, non-polluting, and easy to do even in college dorms, apartment balconies and off-the-grid locations? There is: solar cooking.
Who is Lisa Rayner?
Lisa Rayner has been a solar cook for 15 years. She started her solar cooking adventures with a used cardboard CooKit panel cooker from Solar Cookers International bought for $10 and later purchased the Global Sun Oven she currently cooks with on her south-facing townhome balcony. In 2007, she published The Sunny Side of Cooking: Solar cooking and other ecologically friendly cooking methods for the 21st century. In March 2009 Lisa published her newest book, "Wild Bread: Hand-baked sourdough artisan breads in your own kitchen." Wild Bread includes baking directions for conventional ovens, solar cookers and earth ovens.
"My goal is to 'normalize' solar cooking as an everyday practice, not something for which you need a special cookbook," says Lisa. All of my future cookbooks will include solar cooking directions.
Lisa Rayner is a writer and teacher of sustainable cooking and permaculture workshops in northern Arizona. She is currently working on several cookbooks with bioregional, vegan and renewable energy themes. In Flagstaff, Lisa is known as a progressive political activist who rides her bicycle everywhere and writes frequent letters to the editor for the local daily newspaper. Lisa gardens on two small balconies and is the coordinator for Juniper Street Community Garden.
Lisa has lived in Flagstaff, Arizona since 1987. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Resource Interpretation from Northern Arizona University. She is a graduate of the 1993 Black Mesa Permaculture Project's Design Certification Course and 1994 Coconino County Master Gardener Program.
The daughter of a chemist and a biologist, Lisa Rayner has long had an interest in the natural world. As a young girl she was an avid sea shell collector. The evidence can be found in every room of her house. She spent much of her time exploring the forest around her Delaware home. A child of politically liberal parents, Rayner learned as a child about the world of activism.
"My mom was very active in the League of Women Voters, and I got taken around to dozens of meetings in the 1970s," Rayner said. "They were dealing with women's issues and urban sprawl."
Lisa hated cooking growing up. Then, in 1985 she became vegetarian, and soon after, vegan. She spent the next year-and-a-half teaching herself to cook and in the process discovered she enjoyed it. Lisa's reasons for being vegan include animal welfare and factory farms, world hunger and environmental sustainability. In 1993 she was teaching a vegetarian cooking class when she realized that she wanted to learn about which foods grew in her cool, dry mountain home. She began to learn all she could about growing and cooking bioregionally-appropriate foods.
In 1996 Lisa obtained a word processor while dumpster-diving and wrote the first edition of Growing Food in the Southwest Mountains: A Permaculture Approach to Gardening Above 6,500 Feet in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Colorado and Southern Utah. Also in 1996, Lisa got to know her future husband Dan Frazier at monthly vegetarian EarthSave potlucks. From 2000 to 2002, Lisa and Dan published a small progressive newspaper called Flagstaff Tea Party that advocated for the protection of northern Arizona's environmental riches and the preservation of Flagstaff's small-town charm. During this time, Lisa also ran a community currency program called Flagstaff Neighborly Notes.
On April 3, 2008 the Martin-Springer Institute at northern Arizona University gave Rayner its 2008 Moral Courage Award in the community category. The award was given for her political activism on behalf of women, gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender people, ethnic and religious minorities, energy issues, world peace, and endangered ecosystems. Started five years ago, the Moral Courage Awards reflect the institute's mission of applying the lessons of the Holocaust to teach about moral courage, altruism and tolerance.
For Rayner, 41, social, political and environmental issues are all linked.
"I have a vision of a world where we have ecological sustainability," she said. "I feel if we don't do anything, we're going to have a societal collapse in 50 years. You need to focus on the social issues, too. I wouldn't want a world that was ecologically good, without social justice. What's the point of trying to create a better world, if you're not going to make it better for all the people in it?"
Barb White, a massage therapist and instructor in women's and gender studies at NAU, nominated Rayner for the award.
"Lisa holds to her values because she must," White said in her nominating letter. "She acts as she does because not to do so would destroy her integrity."
In October 2008, Lisa won Friends of Flagstaff's Future's Livable Community Award for her efforts to provide a sustainable, high quality of life for Flagstaff residents.

The Jetski is a single-seat water vehicle featured in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Jetski has a very high top speed, making it good for water stunts and police chases on the water. Like any boat, if the Jetski gets stuck on land, it needs to be manually pushed back into water. The Jetski is like an aquatic motorbike of sorts: if the player crashes at high speed, they are propelled off of the vehicle, and forward drive-bys can be done while driving the vehicle.
This vehicle is also one of the boats wanted for export by the Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound. This vehicle is first seen in the mission "Say Cheese" ofr Reni Wassulmaier, where Victor Vance is doing some stunts for a commercial. Attacking enemies during The Colonel's Coke are seen doing forward drive-bys as well on Jetskis. Later on, the Watersports courses are done by hopping on a Jetski at the InterGlobal Films studio in Prawn Island.
GTA Vice City Stories
- On a jetty in Vice Point across from a Violator and the Leaf Links Golf Club.
- On a jetty in PIER 1 in Washington Beach.
- On a jetty at the InterGlobal Films studio, after the mission Say Cheese, it is only used for the Watersports courses.

District 4 Magistrate Steve Greenwell stood Monday as Oldham County Judge-Executive David Voegele
took a seat at the helm of county government for the first time.
"A tradition is not a tradition until it's done at least twice, " Greenwell said, with a large gift in hand.
As he handed Voegele the gift, Greenwell said the tradition is for veteran magistrates to welcome a new
judge-executive with a handmade gift.
But this term's list of giftgivers is much shorter than in years' past.

Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 reviewTechRadar Pro
Panasonic Toughbook's have long been the poster child for rugged laptops and the CF-19 is another impressive model.
Panasonic Toughbook's have long been the poster child for rugged laptops and the CF-19 is another impressive model.
Poor touchscreen and a lack of features spoil a good design
The undisputed heavyweight champion of rugged laptops
A highly rugged travel companion with excellent features, but flawed usability
Is Panasonic's Toughbook CF-U1 top of the knocks?
Panasonic's CF-F8 is one of the lighter Toughbooks, so is it worth it?
The W8 comes in an attractive silver, and there's no sign of those cramped keys and woolly, unresponsive track pads. The mouse pad is wonderfully responsive and keys are comfortable to use and type, even if a few common keys are inexplicably small.
Panasonic have yet to release an Eee-style netbook PC; and with good reason - their Toughbook range of laptops has been hugely successful, and new, interesting additions to their line of ruggedised PCs are coming thick and fast.
The Panasonic Toughbook range is best known for its fully-ruggedised industrial laptops. However, the CF-52 (£1551 inc. VAT) takes a slightly different approach. Its semi-rugged casing can be used on building sites and site maintenance, but won't offer the same degree of protection as the Getac B300 (page 73).

Wabash, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - 5-Hour Energy is still expanding its operations in Wabash, despite a current FDA investigation into the possible health effects of the energy shot.
Back in October, 5-Hour's parent company, Living Essentials, announced its intentions to build a new, $25 million facility and hire at least 60 new employees.
As of Monday, Wabash County Commissioners told us that they're still confident in the project and the company.
Wabash County Commissioner, Scott Givens said, "Good people, good to work with, very cooperative, can't ask for much better. We support them and look forward to their future expansion."
County commissioners say the facility will be used to make energy bars, not the energy shot liquids.
Upon the plant's completion in fall 2013 Living Essentials will become Wabash's largest employer.
