The broom hare is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The broom hare (Lepus castroviejoi) is a medium-sized hare species from mountainous regions of northwest Spain (1) (4). Its fur is yellowish-brown on the upperparts and white on the underparts, with a sharp transition between the two colours. There is also a distinctive light stripe on the face, running from the eye to the bottom of the cheek (2) (3) (5) (6). The broom hare's tail is black and white (2) (5) and the tips of its long ears, like those of many Lepus species, have black edges (7).
Like other hares, the broom hare has long hind limbs and large hind feet, which allow it to run at speed over open ground. Its feet are fully furred (7) (8). All hares have large eyes, which are positioned on the sides of the head to give a broad field of vision (5) (7). Hares' ears are large and can be turned in different directions, giving a highly developed sense of hearing (7).
The broom hare is intermediate in size between the closely related Iberian or Granada hare (Lepus granatensis) and the European or brown hare (Lepus europaeus), which also occur in Spain. The broom hare can by distinguished mainly by the amount of white on its belly, which is more extensive than in the brown hare but less extensive than in the Iberian hare. The brown hare also lacks the clear contrast between the white underparts and brown upperparts (2) (3) (5) (6).
The taxonomy of European hares has sometimes been debated, but studies have now confirmed the broom hare to be a distinct species (1) (2) (3) (9). However, it is very similar genetically to the Corsican hare (Lepus corsicanus), and the two may potentially be the same species (10).
The broom hare is endemic to the Cantabrian Mountains of northwest Spain, where it occurs between Sierra de los Ancares and Sierra de Peña Labra. It inhabits a region approximately 230 kilometres from east to west and just 25 to 40 kilometres from north to south (1) (2) (3) (4) (5).
The broom hare's preferred habitat is heath and scrubland dominated by various species of Erica, Calluna, Vaccinium, Juniperus and, as its common name suggests, broom (Cytisus and Genista species). It can also be found in clearings in woodlands containing beech (Fagus) and oak (Quercus) (1) (2) (4) (5) (11).
This species tends to be most frequently found where areas of broom and heather are interspersed with mountain pastures (2) (3), and it sometime selects areas that have been burned or where broom has been cleared (1) (2). The broom hare may also sometimes visit cultivated areas near towns in winter (5).
A mountain species, the broom hare is found at elevations of around 1,300 to 1,900 metres, but it descends to around 1,000 metres in winter to avoid snow (1) (4) (5).
The broom hare typically shelters among scrub or trees during the day, moving into pastures and clearings at night to feed. However, it rarely ventures far from shelter in case of attack by predators (2) (3). Unlike rabbits, hare species rarely dig burrows, instead typically resting in depressions in the ground or vegetation, known as 'forms', and relying on their camouflage and strong running abilities to escape danger (7) (8).
The diet of the broom hare consists mainly of grasses and other herbaceous vegetation typical of mountain grasslands, and it often moves into recently burned areas of scrub to feed on tender new shoots (2) (3). Like other hares and rabbits, the broom hare is likely to maximise the nutrients gained from its food by re-ingesting its faeces, so that food passes through the digestive tract twice (7) (8).
There is little information available on reproduction in the broom hare, but it has been observed mating in April and May (2). The breeding season of this species is likely to be shorter than that of the brown hare (L. europaeus) and Iberian hare (L. granatensis) due to the limitations of its high altitude habitat, but in other respects its reproductive behaviour is likely to be similar to that of other hare species (2) (3).
Most hare species are largely solitary outside of the mating season. Female hares usually give birth to between one and nine young at a time, with species in temperate areas typically having one or two large litters each year, while those nearer the equator can have up to eight litters of one to two young each year (4) (7) (8). Overall, this gives a fairly standard value of about ten young per female per year for most hare species (4) (7).
Young hares are born after a gestation period of around 40 to 50 days and are well developed at birth, being fully furred, with open eyes, and able to move about shortly after birth (4) (5) (7) (8). The young are typically born in an open place or in a shallow depression on the ground, and soon separate from each other and from the female, hiding in vegetation and only coming back together for very brief periods of suckling by the female (5) (7) (8). The female hare's milk is highly nutritious, and the young are usually weaned after around 17 to 23 days (7).
In general, young hares do not usually breed in their first year of life (8). Most hares do not survive beyond their first year, but those that do can sometimes reach up to five years of age (7).
The broom hare inhabits a relatively restricted range and occurs in very specific patches of suitable habitat, meaning its populations are highly fragmented (1) (3). Although it is found in good numbers in some areas, its population may be declining in some northern and peripheral parts of its range (1) (2) (3).
The main threats to the broom hare are hunting and habitat loss. The broom hare is a game species, and has been heavily hunted at the western edge of its range (1) (4). This species is vulnerable to excessive hunting and poaching, although the level of exploitation is generally low and hunting is prohibited in some areas (2) (3).
The broom hare's highly specialised habitat is under threat from a decline in traditional rural activities such as livestock grazing. Traditional grazing maintains the mosaic of pastures and scrub preferred by the broom hare, while a decline in grazing leads to the invasion of grassy areas by woody shrubs (3) (11).
Further habitat loss could lead to smaller, more isolated broom hare populations which are at greater risk of local extinction (3) (11). In addition to these threats, the broom hare may also be negatively affected by fires, poisoning by fertilisers and pesticides, and mortality on roads (1) (3).
The Cantabrian Mountains cover areas of great conservation value and much of the region is well protected. A large proportion of the broom hare's range lies within reserves, so conservation and management measures for this species should be relatively straightforward to implement (1) (11).
One of the main conservation measures recommended for the broom hare is to develop appropriate hunting regulations throughout its range (1) (2) (3) (4). It will also be important to avoid introducing other hares to the areas in which it occurs (1) (2), as hare species can often exclude each other from otherwise suitable habitat (4).
Measures to improve and restore suitable broom hare habitat have also been recommended (1) (2) (3), with a priority being to establish habitat 'corridors' to connect localised hare populations and encourage interbreeding (1) (11). Traditional livestock practices should also be encouraged to help maintain areas of suitable habitat (2) (3) (11), and the use of fertilisers and pesticides should require an assessment into the risks posed to the broom hare (2) (3).
Many aspects of the broom hare's biology and population dynamics are still poorly understood, so this species would also benefit from further research, particularly into its reproduction and survival rates (1) (2) (3). The effects of habitat changes, habitat management measures, predation pressure and illegal hunting on the broom hare population should also be investigated (1) (11).

Same lineup expected for lastest crucial game
Benoit Pouliot arrived in Columbus late Thursday night after the birth of his daughter and participated in this morning's optional skate at Nationwide Arena and coach Alain Vigneault expected him to be in the lineup tonight.
As a precaution, though, Derek Dorsett did not stay on the ice late with the extras, keeping his legs fresh in case he's needed tonight.
With Pouliot in, Vigneault expects to keep the lineup the same as Tuesday's 8-4 win at Ottawa with Henrik Lundqvist making his fourth straight start.
Thursday night was a tough one for the Rangers playoff chances as the Devils, Flyers, Blue Jackets (3-2 at Montreal), Lightning and Red Wings all won and the Capitals earned a point with a shootout loss at Los Angeles.
So the Rangers enter tonight's Rick Nash-returns-to-Columbus game (here's today's article in The Record on Nash's return), they are clinging to fourth place in the Metropolitan Division and eighth place in the Eastern Conference.
The Rangers and Blue Jackets each have 78 points but the Blue Jackets have played one fewer game (including tonight, the Rangers have 12 regular-season games remaining). The second-place Flyers have 81 points in the same 69 games the Blue Jackets have played entering tonight. Meanwhile, the Capitals, who have played 71 games - the same amount the Rangers will have after tonight's game - are one point behind the Rangers. The bigger problem for the Rangers in the wild-card picture is the Red Wings, who also have 77 points in 69 games. The Maple Leafs, who currently hold the first wild-card position, have 80 points in 71 games.
"I've got to believe with everyone's environment, everyone we know, everybody's talking about it , 'Did you see last night?' 'Did you see what happened?' so everybody's up to date on what's going on," Vigneault said. "But our focus needs to be on the game at hand and tonight we've got a real tough opponent, probably one of the hardest working and highest-compete level teams in the league and it's going to be a real tough game for us.
"I find that within groups guys feed off your top players," Vigneault added. "Some people thrive on this and every game, every shift, every time you're on the ice you have the opportunity to decide the outcome of the game and usually your elite players, your top players thrive on that opportunity to make a difference and I'm confident that's what our guys are going to do, from our goaltender on out. Right now it's about having the right preparation, knowing the things we need to do to have success against that team and then going out and execute. To execute players have to prepare themselves. You hear the word 'zone' a lot. It's the same thing here, as an individual sport, players have got to get in their zones so they can make the right reads and execute on the ice. We help them with the team preparation but that individual part is theirs."
Noting that Nash is "a very quiet type of player," Vigneault said he hasn't seen any outward signs from Nash about what this game might mean to him but he doesn't need to see the signs, he knows it's special.
Another ex-Blue Jacket, Derick Brassard, playing his second game back in Columbus after the Rangers' 4-2 win on Nov. 7 that Nash missed due to a concussion, conceded Nash is "probably excited about it."
"Honestly, we didn't talk about it," Brassard said. "He played here a long time, he's probably excited about it. For us, it's just another game, another game in the regular season where the two points is important.
"We talk about one game at a time," Brassard added. "We look at the games and we look at the scores. Some nights you're going to have help and some nights you're not. At the end of the day, you have to win your game."

We should just email Mike and ask what level of credit he would expect (e.g. a line

in the README, or some recognition on the github page?). But I certainly agree that

this is a great idea for an affiliated package!

This sounds like a perfect candidate for an affiliated package - we

probably wouldn't want it in the core right away because it's a

somewhat specific tool (and we would want it to interact more tightly

with some of the in-the-work astropy packages), but I could easily see

it getting merged down the road.

I know the documentation is a bit confusing about what affiliated

packages are - that will be updated as soon as we've gotten all the

automatic documentation tools working... but in a nutshell affiliated

packages are wholly external packages (although we encourage you to

host them in the astropy github organization, if you're willing), but

there will be a registry of affiliated packages and a tool to easily

install them once astropy is installed. They're also a good way to

get something eventually included in the astropy core that isn't quite

"done cooking" yet.

And just so I understand, the package you've written does nothing with

the IDL layer of kcorrect, right? It interfaces directly with the

C-level kcorrect? (I ask because I wrote a function

astropysics.phot.kcorrect that just wraps the IDL functionality using

pidly, but that requires that IDL already be installed, so this would

be much better)

Oh, you've written a wrapper already... how come I didn't know that!

Right, IDL isn't necessary at all to run the Python version, and
that's the reason for working on the port. The original kcorrect
isn't a very thin wrapper around its C library, so in order to have
the full functionality that the IDL version currently has, all the
.pro scripts still need to be translated (I've only done what I have
needed for myself so far). But that isn't so bad. (it's just that IDL
codes are not very fun to read.............)

I browsed through the astropy website and the affiliate thing, hence
my inquiry. So I'd happy to contribute the whole thing, according to
whatever suggestion that astropy community makes. I'm looking for a
repository anyways.... it's about 185 MB right now, most auxiliary
data included.

One thing I'd like to make sure, since a lot of effort must have been
put into collecting all the auxiliary data (like throughput curves,
templates, etc.) by Michael and his colleagues, is that if we end up
distributing those things along with the Python package, there needs
to be a way to ensure that the credit for the library goes to him
(which according to the kcorrect website is to cite Blanton et al.
2007 paper).

So before going ahead with the transition, I'd like to make sure that
sort of thing can be worked out well with everyone affected.

Cheers,
Taro

Local Document Search
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office provide a chargeable service to members of the public where we approach the authorities of another country to try and obtain local documents on their behalf.
For example, if you were married in Spain and you have lost your Spanish marriage certificate, or you were born in Thailand and you have lost your Thai birth certificate, you can submit an application either through the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London (if resident in the UK) or your nearest British Consulate (if resident abroad) and we will approach the authorities of the country concerned on your behalf in order to try to obtain a copy of the marriage or birth certificate.
The documents that we can try to obtain on an applicant's behalf are as follows:
- birth certificates
- baptismal certificates
- adoption certificates
- marriage certificates
- decree absolutes
- registration/naturalisation certificates issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office only*
- death certificates
- certificates of good conduct (a police records check – see separate guidance below)
We also accept requests for the following documents, but only where the matter relates to the death of a British national:
- autopsy reports
- medical reports
- police reports
The fee for this service is currently £121. (Please note that Consular fees are subject to change). This includes any charges made by the local authorities if these amount to less than £5. If the costs are higher than £5, the applicant will be requested to pay the excess charges. Please note that the fee is NOT refunded if the document cannot be traced.
This service is only available to British nationals and in order to proceed with the application you will need to provide a photocopy of your current British passport along with the completed application form. We are unable to accept requests from a third party unless written permission from the party concerned is provided, or, in the case of a death, the application is made by the next of kin. If a third party makes the application they will need to provide a photocopy of the current British passport of the party concerned.
Our processing time here in London is 20 working days. We will send you an acknowledgement letter within 20 working days. We do not have the facility to fast-track applications. Please note we do not have facilities to accept callers into the office as a result ALL applications are dealt with by post.
There is no guarantee that a document can be found and we are entirely dependent on the co-operation of the local authorities. This process can take several months. If you do submit an application, you will receive an acknowledgement letter. After this letter has been received please refrain from contacting us about the progress of an application until a period of no less than 3 months has passed. We cannot speed up the process of an application and we need to allow for the period of 3 months to give the local authorities the opportunity to respond to our request. It can take several months, or longer to trace a document, if at all. If the document cannot be traced, a letter confirming this will be issued.
If you are resident in the UK, please complete the application form below as fully as possible. (See the separate guidance for applying for a certificate of good conduct). If you are resident abroad, you should contact your nearest British Consulate. For a local document search to prove successful, it is necessary to have as much detail as possible about the document you are trying to trace. In some countries, an incomplete application form will be immediately returned to us. We will be unable to help unless there are specific details.
We are unable to obtain documents from certain countries. This is because the local authorities view us as a third party and will only deal with the party concerned. Below is a list of countries where we cannot obtain certificates. This list is subject to change:
- Australia
- Bangladesh
To obtain certificates from these countries you will need to contact the local authorities directly. Alternatively it may be worth contacting the relevant Embassy or High Commission of the country where you are trying to obtain the certificate from. They may provide a similar service.
To apply for a certificate of good conduct, please follow the procedure detailed below. All other applications can be made using the application form.
Please note that het fee is £72 for Registration/Naturalisation certificates issued by the FCO. Not £121. If a record is found, we will inform you of this and you will be requested to pay an additional £34 for a letter which confirms the details.

Mo. truck driver pleads guilty in drifter's death
Monday, April 11, 2011
COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — An eastern Missouri truck driver charged along with his wife and three sons in the killing of an Ohio drifter has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Chester Harvey was sentenced Monday in Boone County Circuit Court after admitting he was "totally responsible" for killing 20-year-old James William Boyd McNeely.
McNeely's frozen corpse was found in December 2009 in the refrigerated compartment of Chester Harvey's parked tractor trailer east of Vandalia. C.J. Harvey's oldest son, Chad Harvey, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, kidnapping and abandonment of a corpse. Murder charges were also filed against his wife and two other sons, who were 14 and 16 at the time.
Chester Harvey has said previously that he became embroiled in a drug plot with McNeely and that the drifter hurt his family.

Electronic Tax Forms Now Available For Students
Maria Moscoso
Students now have the opportunity to electronically receive their IRS 1098-T form.
The form, used for tax filing taxes purposes, serves as a tuition statement showing how much in tuition a student has paid during a calendar year.
E.H. Levering, Miami Dade College's chief financial officer, thinks the new delivery method saves MDC and students time and money while lowering the risk of identity theft.
"Faculty and staff are now enjoying an electronic delivery of their W-2 forms," Levering said. "More than 86 percent of staff chose an electronic W-2 for 2011."
Albert Moreno, an accounting major at Kendall Campus said he is skeptical of the process.
"I don't want to fill in my personal and critical details online," Moreno said.
Each form contains the student's name, address, taxpayer identification number (TIN), enrollment information and academic status.
According to Levering, the form is only informational and serves to alert students on whether or not they are eligible for education tax credits—the amount of money a tax filer is allowed to subtract for what they owe in taxes on their tax returns.
To view the form, students can visit the "On-Line 1098-T" link found in the student portal. If you select to receive your 1098-T forms electronically, you will also be able to browse and print prior year 1098-T forms at anytime.
Maria Mari, a professor at the School of Business at Kendall Campus said she is all for the new advancement.
"This form eases the process of claiming an educational tax credit," Mari said. "It eliminates the hassle of gathering the student's educational expenses and they should take advantage of this opportunity."
If a student is not content with the electronic delivery, they can receive the paper form through the mail.
To see if they qualify for any credit taxes, students can visit their tax representative or can visit a Single Stop USA, a nonprofit organization that offers free services for students, located at Wolfson, North and Kendall campuses for free tax preparation.

How To Win Your NCAA Pool
Act like a hedge-fund manager, and pick Duke to win it all.
Again, your overall strategy should be to look for situations where the national bracket values a team much higher than the objective statistics. (I should stipulate that all of this advice assumes standard NCAA pool rules, where the points for a correct guess double each round, from one point in the first to 32 for the final game.) For example, a mere 6.8 percent of those who have entered ESPN's pool as of this writing predict Duke will win the whole tournament—the right-most column on this table—while Pomeroy's ratings give the Blue Devils a whopping 24.3 percent chance of winning it all and Sagarin rates them the second-best team. This makes Duke a fantastic bargain. While the dispassionate analysis gives them a 1-in-4 shot at the title, only one in about 15 people has chosen them to win—probably because they're so reviled. (Duke was also the best bargain in the field last year, but by a smaller margin—Jeff Sagarin gave them a 7.7 percent chance of winning, but only 3.8 percent of people chose them to go all the way. The crowd was wiser than Sagarin: Duke got blown out by Villanova in the Sweet 16.)
Kansas, by contrast, is not a good bargain. In ESPN's Tournament Challenge, 38.8 percent of the crowd has Kansas taking the title, while the team's Pomeroy odds stand at 23.3 percent, lower than Duke. While anyone who's watched basketball this year would agree that Kansas is a much better team than Duke—even Pomeroy says that "Duke is clearly somewhat overrated by my system"—the Blue Devils are still a tremendous deal. Which would you take, the team that more than one-third of your pool will also pick (Kansas) or one that nearly no one else will favor (Duke)? I would take the second—at least, if I wanted a chance to win the prize money instead of just placing respectably. (This assumes your pool resembles the country at large, of course; a pool among Duke undergraduates probably would not offer the same generous odds.)
Biostatistician Bradley Carlin, who co-authored a 2005 paper (PDF) on contrarian strategies in NCAA brackets, suggests a "champion-only" technique. While most people spend a lot of time puzzling over potential first-round upsets, the mathematical reality is that it's difficult to win a pool without securing those boffo championship game points. The payoff for risk-taking also increases in later rounds. Consider the first round game between 14-seed Montana and three-seed New Mexico. Less than 5 percent of ESPN users predict Montana will win this game, while Pomeroy gives them a 23.4 percent chance of making the second round. On paper, that fivefold differential looks like a great bargain. But consider that this upset will reward the lucky Montana fan with a mere one extra point. If New Mexico does win—still the most likely outcome—you're suddenly missing an important player in the bracket.
Whom should you pick as your champion? You want to look for teams with a respectable chance of winning that don't come in with high expectations. As the size of the pool balloons, so must your audacity. You may skate to victory with traditional choices in a group of 12 people, but in a pool of 100, you'll have to get fancy and prepare to lose miserably if the cards don't fall your way. Even a team like Wisconsin—a four seed with a 6.1 percent chance to win it all, according to the Pomeroy tables—starts to look attractive, given that less than 1 percent of the participants in ESPN's pool have them winning.
Of course, the trouble with a strategy like this is that its benefits materialize only in the long term. Another author of that 2005 paper on bracket strategies, Jarad Niemi, told me that he has won back three to four times his investment in entry fees over the years, but a great deal of that came from a good year in 2008. (Considering how good they are at calculating risk, it's no surprise that guys like Niemi and Carlin excel in pools that award bonus points for upsets. Carlin said he won one such pool three out of five years.) A strategy that wins you a lot of money a small amount of the time may work well in sports with long seasons, but it can be tough to keep the faith when you finish in the cellar for six straight Marches. But look at it this way: Did you ever win with your old strategy?

Monday August 19, 2013
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- The Los Angeles Angels say slugger Albert Pujols is done for the season because of an injured left foot.
The Angels made the announcement Monday before playing Cleveland.
Pujols hasn't played since July 26. He had been saying he wanted to return when his partially torn plantar fascia healed.
The injury has bothered him all season, and forced the first baseman to mostly become a designated hitter. The Angels began the season with high hopes, but are far back in the playoff race.
The 33-year-old Pujols hit .258 with 17 home runs and 64 RBIs this year. This is the first time the three-time NL MVP finished with fewer than 30 homers in his 13-season major league career.
Pujols is in the second season of his $240 million, 10-year contract.

It is absolutely safe to dye your hair. In fact you can dye your hair throughout the entire prengnacy as long as you don't do it more than every 6 weeks. Yes there are chamicals but if you are in a well ventilated room, it will do you or the baby absolutely no harm. Some people (no judging and I support and respect every decision and opinion) are very drastic about those things. The amount that would potentially get in through your skin is so extremely minimal that it would have absolutely no affect on the baby at all. Go get your hair done it will make you feel so much better :)posted 04/03/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Some people would say yes, others will say no...if you do choose to do it, I would suggest getting an all natural hair dye and avoiding as many chemicals as possible. But honestly, I myself would wait until after baby is born.posted 04/03/2013 by kericksen

A new law making it illegal for young drivers to use a cell phone while driving takes effect in South Dakota on Monday, July 1. The law, passed this year, prohibits anyone who holds a learner's permit or a restricted minor's permit from using any handheld communication device while driving. Generally, such permits are issued to persons between the ages of 14 and 18. The new law will be enforced as a secondary offense, meaning a young driver would have to be stopped for another offense before a ticket could be issued for driving while using a handheld communications device. In Mitchell, all drivers are banned from texting while driving, regardless of age.

Child Pornography Bill amendments not scrapped as Japan's National Diet session ends
The 183rd National Diet session of Japan just ended yesterday, June 26, and people who were expecting the proposed amendments to controversial Child Pornography Bill to be scrapped by now are going to be disappointed. The proposed amendments were submitted last May 29 and gathered a loud opposition from the anime and manga community.
The bill was passed in 2011 and the move to add some amendments to it was co-sponsored by three parties; the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), the New Komeito Party, and the Japan Restoration Party. The proposed amendments aimed to regulate the possession of explicit materials showing children for the purpose of sexual fulfillment. While it is illegal to commit child pornography in Japan, the possession of materials relating to child pornography is not regulated and not illegal. What the amendments really seek is the regulation of these materials and the punishment to those who are caught in possession of said materials. A fine less than a million yen will be imposed with additional jail time for less than a year.
The amendments also has a provision which calls for an investigation into the relationship of anime, manga and CG images and Human Rights violations against children. This provision is what made the amendments so controversial as groups like the Japan Cartoonist Association and manga artists like Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina, Negima?!), Go Nagai (Mazinger Z) and Fuijo Fujio A (Doraemon) have called for its withdrawal. Their reasons for this is that if the government does indeed find a relationship between child pornography and anime, manga and video games, they fear that their freedom to write whatever they want (hence their freedom of speech) will be trampled on. This is because the government will also include anime, manga and video games into the regulations. Let's just say writers really don't like to be regulated.
In Japan, whenever a Diet session ends, bills that were not voted on are usually scrapped when the session ends, however, a bill not voted on can make it into the next session if a request is made. Six lawmakers led by LDP member Sanae Takaichi made a request to continue the deliberation of the proposed amendments to the Child Pornography law into the next National Diet. This request saves the amendments from being scrapped like the others and makes it into the next session of the Japanese Diet.
In his twitter account, Love Hina and Negima?! manga artist Ken Akamatsu says that the fight is still not over and called for more active opposition for the proposed amendments. He also says how frustrated he is that it was not scrapped and adds that it should not even have made it into the next session. Akamatsu is one of the loudest and most out spoken manga artists opposed to the recently proposed amendments.
While most manga artists, anime fans and gamers oppose some parts of the amendments, they do not oppose it in its entirety. From the statement by the Cartoonist association, they support the measures protecting the children but warn that anime and manga should not be regulated as it is an impediment to the freedom of speech.

Alumnae Celebrate the Spirit of Marymount
Contact: Angie Chen
Marymount alumnae, administrators, members of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (R.S.H.M.), and their families gathered on Dec. 2 to celebrate the college's founding by Mother Marie Joseph Butler.
At a Founder's Day celebration honoring Marymount's graduates and its founding religious order, alumnae fondly reflected back on their years at the college.

Andrea Carson, a MC '03, shared a lighthearted story that has stuck with her for more than a decade.
"During the fall of my freshman year, there was a widespread spraying for mosquitoes around the campus," Carson said. "[One] student from California came running down the hallway screaming that the mosquito spray had changed the colors of all the leaves—she had never seen trees change color before."
Carson, who was a member of the first graduating class after the merger of Marymount College and Fordham University, said she was grateful for the opportunity to be both a Fordham and Marymount alumna.
"It's the best of both worlds," she said.
Susan Gardella, R.S.H.M., executive director of the R.S.H.M. LIFE (Learning is for Everyone) Center—a community education center serving immigrants—in Sleepy Hollow, NY, expressed gratitude for the toys and clothes gifted in the Marymount-sponsored support of the center.
"There is a connectedness in our community," Sister Gardella said. "Even though the physical space of Tarrytown isn't there, the spirit still lives on through the wonderful people who carry Marymount in their hearts."
Brigid Driscoll, R.S.H.M., former president of Marymount, said that Marymount was a school that gave its graduating women an essential tool for the real world: self-assurance.
"[Commencement] was an opportunity to watch the people that I had met as nervous, young freshman, walk across the stage as polished, confident young adults," Sister Driscoll said. "I've had women come up to me at graduation and say, 'I feel I can do anything now.'"
Joseph McShane, S.J., president of Fordham, told alumnae in attendance that Fordham is "your home as well as ours." He also extended thanks to the Marymount Alumnae Association's Legacy Fund for their contributions.
"There is extraordinary good that continues to be done through the generosity of Marymount, its students, alumnae, and donors," he said. "For many students, the fund truly makes a difference in their lives. It makes it possible for them to come to Fordham and continue their college careers."
Two legacy fund recipients this year are Annie Carter and Betsy Carter, both seniors at Fordham College at Rose Hill, who are pursuing careers in nonprofit marketing and film advertising, respectively. The legacy scholarships go to Fordham students who best exemplify the Marymount spirit of scholarship and service.
Both students felt an instant pull toward the ideals of Mother Butler and of Marymount, they said.
"We attended an all-girls high school so we really valued our all-women education and carried that over to our Fordham experience," Betsy Carter said.
The event included a presentation recognizing the work of the R.S.H.M. LIFE Center, which offers education and advocacy services to all age groups, from toddlers to senior citizens.
"What a remarkable difference Marymount has made in the lives of so many of us," Jane Barnett Galvin, the Marymount Alumnae Association president said. "We celebrate the mission that Mother Butler created so many years ago, and the spirit of Marymount that lives in all of us."
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College in the United Kingdom.

Nothing can make a victory more sweet than a home win including walking
off with Tom Brady whining to a ref.
I don't know what to make of the call. Honestly, in a bubble, I'd say
it's the best possible outcome that the flag was thrown but picked up -
a no-call is, in my mind, more controversial. They had an opportunity
to judge it, did, and chose not to call it.
That's not how a lot are judging it, however. And the lack of
explanation doesn't help. To me, I see two sides - Gronkowski was not
heading where that ball was going, he continued upfield no matter what
Luke Kuechly does. The ball is way underthrown. I heard the arguments
that the INT happens where the 'foul' supposedly starts, and that's
true. Is it relevant? Gronkowski at no point attempts to post up, he
doesn't stop. Kuechly's better play might've been to ride him out of
bounds, or who knows if that's what he attempted to do. But
Gronkowski's intent was never to catch the ball 4 yards in, where Robert
Lester cut inside. He would've had to come back for that ball anyway.
I don't know if that makes it uncatchable or not. If Kuechly does or
doesn't hold, he'd still have had position. And game on the line or
not, Brady would've needed a better throw and probably couldn't have
hurt to have hit a guy that wasn't double covered.
So unsurprisingly for a Carolina fan, I'm unimpressed by the outrage.
And it's not the same thing, but after Marcus Cannon whipped Charles
Johnson, which gave him a sprained MCL and rendered him (and for a
while, the Carolina defense) useless for the rest of the game, but they
didn't call it? Allright. I'll take that trade. The thing is, one
had to do with player safety. I don't know that the league really cares
about player safety; they don't protect RBs. They protect the head, and
fair enough, but it's for litigation purposes.
So, before there was a final play, a pretty good ballgame came about.
It was a low scoring half, one that Carolina tenatively controlled.
Carolina's defense didn't dominate early, but came up with some big
plays when it needed. The Pats appeared to be rolling, thanks to a lot
of early referee action, picking up third downs by officiating, when
Kawann Short picked up a forced fumble on Stevan Ridley. The Pats
mustered only a field goal before the half - they answered with a TD
coming out of halftime, however.
At that point, it started to become a shoot-out - as much as you can be
in ball control offenses. Carolina continued to work the run and
started to make upfield plays; Brady worked to get the quick pass out
and the Pats started running the ball surprisingly effectively (with no
small key being the dirty play I saw from each between Cannon, Logan
Mankins, and Dan Connolly). Brady and Cam Newton combined for 18
straight completions. It wasn't a quick shoot out, but Carolina
somehow matched. When the defense started to falter, the offense
picked up the slack.
Newton had no small part in that, either. 3 TD, zero interceptions.
And he led the team in rushing, and not on called runs (there were two,
I believe, and they didn't provide any real plays; there was minimal
yardage for Newton in the rare event he didn't hand off on the read
option). He made it happen on scrambles, which remain his deadliest
play. Having become a nearly deadly 3rd down passer, Newton (who picked
up 8 of 11 third downs) picked up 2 long 3rd downs with scrambles, one
evading 5 Patriots in one of the Panthers' plays of the
And that's the thing. Did the defense stay up with Tom Brady? Not
necessarily. 20 points is still allright - he put 55 on Pittsburgh.
Did Special Teams win the day? No. Ted Ginn made only modest things
happen, and Brad Nortman picked a bad time to have a bad punt in the 3rd
quarter - right after Carolina went 3 and out (I believe this was the
only time that happened in this game, but that's off memory). The short
field became the Pats' first lead, 20-17.
But the offense answered Brady when it had to. Really, since the Pats
had to kick a FG near the end, that was the difference. Carolina
answered score for score, but closed with the TD. It was the third long
scoring drive for Newton, who boasted drives of 80 and 90 earlier in the
game. They finished with the Ted Ginn score with a minute left, which
felt like too long to leave. But what do you do there - have Ginn
kneel? You take the score.
Newton had some off plays - he missed a short receiver or two, he threw
to LaFell in double coverage. But he made some plays downfield - a
pretty 42 yarder to Steve Smith that sparked an Aqib Talib meltdown, for
instance - and remained efficient. It's a good sign - when Newton can
make plays like this, but not turn the ball over. When he can play a
conservative game when needed, and go answer the bell when needed.
He's gonna really take Carolina to the cleaners when it's time to pull
off that contract.

X-Fest, with Jane's Addiction, Garbage, Angels & Airwaves, P.O.D., Rebelution, Neon Trees and others
When: 3 p.m. Sunday
Where: Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista
Tickets: $9.91 to $55 each (plus service charges)
Phone: (800) 745-3000
Online: livenation.com
Jane's Addiction, which headlines Sunday's X-Fest at Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre, did not exist when San Diego radio station 91X-FM held its first X-Fest marathon concert. Neither did any of the other bands performing at Sunday's marathon show in Chula Vista, where the lineup also includes two nationally prominent area bands — Angels & Airwaves and P.O.D. — along with the recently reactivated Anglo-American band Garbage, Rebelution, Neon Trees, Grouplove, Of Monsters and Men, Eve 6 and Walk the Moon.
Then again, the first X-Fest was held in 1983, three years before Jane's Addiction was formed. X-Fest's debut that April was held at Jack Murphy (now Qualcomm) Stadium in Mission Valley and featured Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Stray Cats and Bow Wow Wow. At the time, 91X was only four months into its transition from a traditional album-oriented rock format (think Led Zeppelin, Boston and the Rolling Stones) to a New Wave-oriented "Rock of the '80s" format (think Culture Club, Depeche Mode and, um, Adam Ant).
91X became only the second radio station in the nation to adapt this format, soon re-christened the "cutting edge" of rock 'n' roll, following close on the heels of KROQ in Los Angeles.
"Back then, 91X was playing stuff that you couldn't hear anywhere else," said Tim Mays, the co-owner of the Casbah, San Diego's leading alternative-rock venue since 1989. While considered a major gamble in 1983, 91X's musical format shift paid off almost immediately. 91X soared to the top spot in the ratings. In the process, 91X became a regional powerhouse on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border and created a programming template that was successfully adopted by the station's owner, the Noble Broadcasting Group, for its Seattle outlet, 107.7 FM The End.
"I guess it was a risk, but we were looking for something to build our group of radio stations around the nation," said U-T San Diego CEO John Lynch, who in 1978 co-founded the Noble Broadcasting Group, which owned 91X, with Ed Noble.
"91X broke a lot of bands — U2, Oingo Boingo, The Bangles, Green Day," said Lynch, who sold his stations to Clear Channel in 1996. "But it was more than music, it was a lifestyle, and San Diego was a growing, vibrant city. KROQ had success, but not the kind we had down here."
91X, which has a 100,000-watt signal that beams from Tijuana, is now owned by Local Media San Diego. In the most recent Arbitron ratings, it was the 10th-ranked station here. While 91X's format has broadened over the decades, its foundation — and enduring prominence in San Diego's radio landscape — owes a great deal to the musical format introduced in 1983.
"It is remarkable that, 29 years later, the station is still playing essentially the same kind of music, although it's more geared now to a younger audience," Casbah honcho Mays said. "It's an incredible feat."

Kicking off the summer with Kenny Chesney in Tampa!
This is how it's done!
Well I know we've had a lull in our postings, but make sure to stay tuned as there will be much more to come as we rev back up and head into summer! And what better way than to post about a great party!
Though June 20th is the official first day of summer, we here in Florida tend to start a bit early; and what better way than at a huge party with lots of new and old friends! On June 2nd party goers from all over descended upon Tampa Florida and took over the parking lot of the Raymond James Stadium. The night belonged to the artist; but until they took the stage, tens of thousands of rum soaked, sun drenched fans owned the party outside!
This was my first Kenny Chesney tailgate and I can say that the only other party that rivals these fans are the Parrottheads at a Jimmy Buffett Tailgate; and that is saying something! These fans bring all the color, concoctions, and island life that one would expect from a Buffett show and mix it with that dash of cowboy boots, cowboy hats, and sundresses to add that country spice to this rum punch crowd. A friend of mine (name omitted to protect the guilty) who is a true KC fan, but admittedly not a big country fan, certainly enjoyed the cowgirls as he kept repeating that "god I like country shows". You know who you are!
But of all the parties in the lot that day we had to have the best! Perhaps a little biased here but I'd place a wager on it! With a dream team of Salty Souls like we had on site that day I feel pretty confident we'd take the crown. In one small area we had half of the Coastlines/Conch Republic crew (Carl ye was missed sir), Rum Shop Ryan, Jack and Cynthia, Rusty Smith, and Sue from Missing Miami; as well as the friends we each brought along and an intense crowd surrounding us. Add to that fact that for a time we had Matt from No Shoes Radio hanging out and enjoying a few cocktails and I'd say we stacked the deck pretty well!
Initially the NSR crew hadn't planned on broadcasting from the Tampa show, but once they saw our party in action they rolled out the golf cart and set up the equipment for a live broadcast! What a great addition to the party with Tambo, John Anthony, Matt, and Jaime all joining in on the fun and letting the world listen in via NSR!! All in all I can't think of a better way to start the summer! Thanks to all that came out and made the event such a success, and a special thanks to the NSR crew! Welcome to the fishbowl indeed!
And be ready for future tailgates as this dream team of partiers will be uniting again in the future and the party will only get bigger and better!
Here are just a few of the scenes from the party! Enjoy.

LONDON, ENGLAND, April 24, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- An alarming 58% of motorists have been victims of road rage incidents in the past year, according to new research(1) from Sainsbury's Car Insurance. The findings also reveal that an estimated 2.4 million motorists have either been victims themselves or know someone who has been a victim of car jacking. Sainsbury's Car Insurance warns that most motor insurance policies don't offer any cover for motorists who become victims of road rage(2).
The research(1) estimates that of those people who have suffered at the hands of another "road-enraged" driver during the past year, over 330,000 motorists have been physically assaulted during the incident and 5% of motorists have even been threatened with physical violence. 16% of motorists questioned claim to know someone else who has fallen foul of road rage aggression in the past 12 months.
Worryingly, 265,000(1) people are estimated to have been car jacked themselves, where an individual had tried to forcibly obtain their car while they were in it, and a further 262,000 claim to have suffered a failed car jacking attempt. Nearly one and a half million people claim to know of somebody else who has been a victim of car jacking.
An estimated 23.2 million drivers(1) or around two thirds of all British motorists admit to having felt road rage themselves, with another driver's tailgating being the most common cause of rage. One in three (34%) drivers were left feeling rage when another driver pulled out at a junction when it wasn't clear to do so and one in four (26%) found someone driving too slowly the source of their road rage.
Joanne Mallon, Sainsbury's Car Insurance Manager, said: "A worrying number of motorists have unfortunately suffered from road rage or car jacking and the result can be both mentally and physically scarring for the victims. It's important that these victims aren't left high and dry, which is why we offer a counselling and financial package for motorists who have been victims of car jacking or distressed by a road rage incident."
According to the research, men are the most likely to have been involved in a road rage incident, and those aged between 18-24 appear to be the most vulnerable with 69% of drivers in that age group saying that they had been a victim. The over 65 age group experiences the least road rage incidents. Interestingly those most likely to be victims of road rage incidents are also most likely to be perpetrators of them, with 18-24 year olds among the most likely to feel rage behind the wheel. Those over 65 are also the least likely to feel road rage themselves.
From a geographical perspective, the South West has the highest percentage of people who have been a victim of a road rage incident, with 65% of motorists having been victims of this in this region. Wales has the smallest proportion of drivers who have been victims of motorists with road rage, at 47%.
Sainsbury's offers the following advice for staying calm behind the wheel:
- Ensure your seating position is comfortable
- Work out your route in advance and listen to the radio for any traffic news
- Turn off your mobile phone
- Make sure your fuel tank is filled up
- Give yourself plenty of time to get to your destination early
- Count to ten before reacting to somebody else's poor driving

Notes to Editors:
(1)The consumer omnibus research of 2,011 GB adults aged 18 or over was carried out online by ICM between 20th and 22nd March 2009. ICM uses a large sample size that reflects the demographic profile of the UK. Given this it is possible to extrapolate figures and make projections from the research results within appropriate confidence intervals. So 5% of the UK adult population of 45.89 million is 2.3m. Figures are estimates.
(2) MoneyExpert.com estimates that around one in twenty fully comprehensive car insurance policies have a specific allowance for personal injury caused by road rage (April 2008)
Sainsbury's car insurance is arranged and administered by esure Services Limited. Registered in England No.2135610 at The Observatory, Reigate RH2 0SG. Not available in Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands or for drivers over 80 and subject to normal acceptance criteria. Like all insurers there may be circumstances where we are unable to provide a quote. Calls may be monitored and recorded.

Board to consider increasing gas excise tax by 3.5 cents a gallon, about 10 percent hike
Then, in 2010, the state Legislature and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger approved "the fuel tax swap," which changed the way the tax was collected.
The new calculation also reallocated some of the money for future appropriations, but was supposed to honor the amounts promised for road maintenance to local governments under Proposition 42. And if it didn't, the Board of Equalization could "look back" at the past two years and determine the rate going forward to make up for it. That's what it's doing now.
So while it may hurt Californians this year as a whole at the pump, from the state's point of view, the tax pool didn't pay as much as it should have the last couple of years.
That's why the rate can go up — it's not an increase in tax revenue, but a catch-up of what should have been paid, Gill said.
"The idea is it shouldn't generate any more or less tax revenue than it did," Gill said. "You set the rate for any given year to estimate what you truly think that year is going to be, plus any catch-up from the previous year."
In the system's first fiscal year, July 1, 2010, to June 30, 2011, Californians overpaid on gas taxes by $56 million, so the excise tax rate went up 0.4 cents on July 1, 2011 (to make up for future missed sales tax on a forecast of higher prices). But because there was such a big shortfall the next year — $157 million — the 3.5 cent increase is being considered at Tuesday's meeting.
"Because gasoline demand is going down, they're not going to collect enough money to maintain the roads — there's a big concern about that," said David Hackett, a gasoline industry analyst with Irvine-based Stillwater Associates. "It's half a billion dollars that's going to go out of consumers' hands to the government."
A memo sent to the board members from Bill Benson, acting chief of research and statistics, says the firm Global Insights projects gas prices will increase only modestly (bad for the sales tax). Therefore, the excise rate has to be increased to maintain the equal amount of revenue that won't be generated otherwise.

Mel not crazyMel Gibson insists he isn't crazy anymore.
The 'Mad Max' star - who made headlines last year after he directed a tirade of anti-Semitic abuse at a police officer arresting him for drink driving - once confessed to being 30 per cent insane but now says he is less mad.
Mel quipped: "It's a shifting thing. I am now only 20 per cent insane. I'm not crazy anymore."
The 51-year-old star - whose latest film 'Apocalypto', which he directed, has been a huge box office hit - thinks he was "90 per cent insane" when was a young man.
He said: "That's like when you're 21 and you're ruled by testosterone. Somebody will say something to hit at your ego and fists will start flying. That's 90 per cent insane.
"It's sheer rage but it manifests itself in a physical way. Young men do that but they can't help it. Hormones are a terrible thing."

Bomb Away, Mr. President
Legally and constitutionally, Obama's Libya policy is on firm ground.
Over the next few weeks, Obama handed off the Libya mission to NATO and slashed the number of American sorties. As a result, the president now claims that American air raids can continue indefinitely, notwithstanding yet another section of the War Powers Act that requires that certain presidential military initiatives end within 60 days (with an additional 30-day grace period if an earlier ending would imperil troop safety).
Therein lies the rub. More than 90 days have elapsed since the Libya mission began, and Congress has not passed a law authorizing the mission or extending the 90-day clock. But the clock starts to tick only when troops have been "introduced into hostilities," and this statutory phrase is hardly self-defining. True, American planes and drones are dropping bombs. But they are not taking fire. There are no American body bags. American forces are arguably not so much "into" hostilities as "above" them.
The War Powers Resolution itself, in the very subsection setting out the 60-90 day clock, emphasizes "the safety of United States Armed Forces." Shortly after the resolution was enacted, a key executive-branch document (PDF) defined the "into hostilities" phrase as involving situations "in which there is a serious risk from hostile fire to the safety of United States forces."
Also, the WPR's clock makes more sense in a classic Vietnam-style ground war—the context in which the act arose. The act is silent about whether a president may ever reinitiate hostilities on, say, Day 93—perhaps in response to a fresh provocation—after withdrawing on Day 89. In a typical ground-troops operation, this sort of complete cessation and quick renewal of hostilities is hard to imagine. By contrast, in the kind of nimble multilateral air operation over Libya, the basic premises of the law are less applicable. U.S. planes can leave enemy airspace in a matter of minutes; other coalition partners can carry on strikes for several days, and then U.S. planes could re-enter—all in strict compliance with the letter of the law.
The ambiguities and oddities of the War Powers Act invite a second look at the Constitution, whose basic vision the law purports to implement. Interestingly enough, the Constitution distinguishes between armies and navies, and regulates armies more strictly. (For example, army appropriations must be re-voted every two years; not so for navy appropriations.) This distinction exists because the Framers believed that armies posed a greater threat to American lives and liberty than did navies. Today, the air power is likewise less of a threat to American lives and limbs.
Of course, there are non-American lives and limbs at stake in Libya as well, and as diplomat-in-chief, the president is well-positioned to respond to world opinion about our Libya mission. Obama's daily duties require him to keep close tabs on Cairo, Egypt, as well as Cairo, Illinois. Is the same true of House Speaker John Boehner? Because the Libya mission poses little threat to Americans, one of the central purposes of the War Powers Resolution—to prevent Vietnam-style risks to Americans unless America's elected legislators have specifically approved these risks—is not implicated.

The 2013 Sprint Cup season isn't even one-third of the way complete, but odds makers clearly have a Fave Four.
Here's how a sizeable shift in the numbers will influence how you should watch Saturday's Southern 500.
Kyle Busch, Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Kasey Kahne are all 8/1 or lower. Denny Hamlin, who hasn't run in a month is 8/1, but he at least has the best average finish among active drivers here.
Kahne is 12th among active drivers here over the last five years. Jimmie Johnson is 9th. Matt Kenseth is 8th. Past history doesn't matter. Current history does. And with this Fave Four winning 7 of 10 Sprint Cup races, odds makers are begging you to find the next David Ragan.
Down a fake 196 dollars after Ragan's win, here are my picks for the sake of entertainment and entertainment alone.
20 fake dollars on Kyle Busch at 5/1
Of the Fave Four, Busch has led the most laps of any driver here over the last five years. He
10 fake dollars on Brad Keselowski at 12/1
Stone Cold wins at famous tracks and has the second best finish among active drivers here over the last five years. The only missing element is a win.
10 fake dollars on Greg Biffle at 12/1
Has any big name driver had a quieter 2013 than Biffle? The man led nearly 80 laps here last year.
4 fake dollars on Tony Stewart at 25/1
Whopper Man has had a terrible 2013 season. Stewart finishes well here but has not won here in more than half a decade. We're getting close to summer, which is Stewart Season.
3 fake dollars on Aric Almirola and Ryan Newman at 100/1
Almirola might be the best driver to not win a race on tour right now and quietly is piecing together a solid season. Ryan Newman has a good track record is would honk off NASCAR with a win. Plus I'm desperate.
Here's what The Spread thinks. Enjoy Saturday night, and insert random catchphrase here.
For the season
- Two wins
- Nine losses
- Down 195 fake dollars
Kyle Busch 5/1
Jimmie Johnson 6/1
Matt Kenseth 6/1
Kasey Kahne 8/1

Now I am asking all of you to help me with Art sites. We had to wipe out our hard drive and re-install everything. I backed up all of my files/folders but somehow my "Art resources" folder that had all of those sites I have posted to the list (and sent privately)...is missing! That is several years of work/research. I have many of my files up through August --from another CD (pre-road Runner days and I have found many since then).
Here are some I know I do not have --and will need myself next year):
Art of Sports (compilation from many who posted to the list)
The sun in art
Textile art/Fibers arts
History of Shoes (hope someone saved that one)
Mandala links
Basically --all the sites I have posted/sent to folks from September through January as those archives are not available. Please do not go to the trouble of doing your own searches for these topics --just post any you may have saved in your resource files....or any othrs you think folks may be interested in.
Thank you in advance to all who respond.

Campsite les menhirs - Freedom to be French
Mobile home styles - French Freedom Holidays were the first of their kind to use French Cottage style mobile homes. Larger tour operators have subsequently followed this trend using their own particular versions of the French Cottage style. French Freedom Holidays offers a mix of accommodation both in the traditional and cottage style.
Tent styles – Their tents are among the largest of their competitors in France. With a floor area of 290 square feet, the spaciousness of this camping experience makes it one of the most luxury holiday opportunities in the country. The accommodation offers up to five adults in three bedrooms.
Resorts – French Freedom offer holidays in twenty campsites throughout a range of locations across the country – Normandy, Loire, Gascony, Cote d'Azur and many more. They also offer short breaks in French holiday villages and trips to Disneyland Paris. Their sister company SkiFrance4Less offers holidays in Chamonix, the Three Valleys and Val d'Isere.
Family holidays – Their children's club takes place five times a week, allowing parents to grab some quiet while the kids are entertained by the Kid's Courier. The Koala Club, aimed at five to eleven year-olds, offers activities such as nature trails, treasure hunts and face painting. At French Freedom Holidays, they believe in offering the best entertainment for all the family.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' Gives Korea's E-Book Market a Kick
Can the erotic "Fifty Shades" series by E.L. James be a boon for South Korea's meager e-book industry? The initial reception suggests it can.
The translated version of the first part of the trilogy, Fifty Shades of Grey, hit local bookshelves on Aug. 8 and became an instant hit. It continues to climb up the bestseller lists of most online and offline bookstores. But the e-book version is doing particularly well.
The electronic version sold more than 7,000 copies in the first 10 days, an impressive figure for the country's small $17.6 million e-book industry. According to Yes24, the country's biggest online bookstore, the book is on top spot in the e-book category and in fifth place in the paper book category. The electronic version has accounted for 19% of total sales, three times bigger than the average 6%. The company didn't reveal specific sales figures. Korea Real Time has more.

Segment gross profit was $75.1 million compared with $78.6 million in the prior-year quarter, a 4.5 percent decrease primarily due to lower sales volumes.
