Bacolod City - the Home of the Masskara Festival.
The word "MassKara" is a portmanteau, coined by the late artist Ely Santiago from the word "mass" meaning "many or a multitude of the people", and the Spanish word cara meaning "face". A prominent feature of the festival is the mask worn by participants; these are always adorned with smiling faces. MassKara thus means a multitude of smiling face'.
Every year, the City celebrates it's charter day on October 19th and a week-long celebration is organized - from street dancing, street parties, concerts and mall shows, and events. Locals, tourists and "balikbayans" flock in Bacolod to enjoy the festivity.
So if you're planning to go to Bacolod, try to experience Masskara and u'll surely have helluvatime!
When you happen to be in Bacolod, don't miss to try the world famous Chicken Inasal (Chicken BBQ). Bacolod is known to have the original recipe for the best chicken BBQ in the country and there are plenty of restaurants which serve Inasal. There's the Manokan Country wherein, they say, the original chicken bbq came from. But in my opinion, Chicken House serves the most delicious of them all. =) Try it and be the judge! =)
Bacolod is not as grand as Manila or Cebu, or as magnifiscent as Rome or Paris. It's just a laid-back-simple city which is home to almost 500000 people. Yet, the hospitality and the warmth of the people here is priceless.
Yes, Bacolod is the City of Smiles coz that's how we greet friends and tourists - with a smile. =) and indeed, we r noted to be sweet and loving people. Negros Occidental, the province where Bacolod belongs is known to be the Sugar Capital of the Philippines.
So come see Bacolod and u'l b home away from Home. =)
- Pros:Accessible/good food/nice people
- Cons:Not much landmarks/infrastructures
- In a nutshell:the City of Smiles

The Masskara festival sounds like a fun time and good friends to eat and drink with. The mansion ruins described had a good story to tell for sure. Good job
I got hungry rating your restaurant reviews ;)
How can it be that your Bacaold page is not top 5?! Time to change that :)
So this is where you live :) The Masskara festival sounds like a great fun and pleasure for eyes. Would love to attend. If I ever come to Bacolod, would you bring me to Pala-Pala? It is exactly the kind of place that I like. Shrimp with garlic, mmm...
now on my "2 visit" page, to see the diverse masks and taste (compare) the famous Chicken Inasal ;-)))
Zohara will like the chicken and we will both like the scenery....how long will it take to visit ALL 7,000 islands??? ^O^ Martin

Julie Holmes
Thank you, Leslie. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to our First Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call. With me this morning are Jim Robo, President and Chief Executive Officer of NextEra Energy; Moray Dewhurst, Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of NextEra Energy; Armando Pimentel, President and Chief Executive Officer of NextEra Energy Resources; and Eric Silagy, President of Florida Power & Light Company.
Moray will provide an overview of our results, following which, our executive team will be available to answer your questions. We will be making statements during this call that are forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from our forward-looking statements if any of our key assumptions are incorrect or because of other factors discussed in today's earnings news release, in the comments made during this conference call, in the Risk Factors section of the accompanying presentation or in our latest reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, each of which can be found in the Investor Relations section of our website, nexteraenergy.com. We do not undertake any duty to update any forward-looking statements.
Please also note that today's presentation includes references to adjusted earnings and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures -- financial measures. You should refer to the information contained in the slides accompanying this presentation for definitional information and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measure to the closest GAAP financial measure. With that, I will turn the call over to Moray.
Moray P. Dewhurst
Thank you, Julie, and good morning, everyone. NextEra Energy delivered strong results during the first quarter of 2013, and both Florida Power & Light and Energy Resources are executing well on the objectives we've discussed with you last quarter and during our investor conference.
At FPL, we maintained a regulatory ROE of 11%, while we continued to invest heavily in the business in ways that enhance what we believe is already the best customer value proposition in the state. Average regulatory capital employed grew roughly 14% over the same quarter last year and was the main driver of our net income growth of about 20%.
I am pleased to report that 3 of FPL's major capital projects are now complete. The successful repowering of Turkey Point Unit 4 earlier this month marked the completion of our extended nuclear power uprate program. We also finished installing 4.5 million smart meters across our service territory to serve our customers better.
Finally, our first modernization project at Cape Canaveral entered service last week, more than a month earlier than originally expected. And our Riviera Beach and Port Everglades modernizations remain on track.
At Energy Resources, adjusted earnings were down slightly compared to the prior year comparable quarter, primarily from lower wind generation. This quarter's adjusted results excludes 3 unusual items: the gain on the sale of our Maine hydro assets, a charge associated with our decision to sell our merchant fossil assets in Maine and charges associated with an impairment on our Spain solar project. I will discuss each of these items in more detail later in the call.
Our renewables backlog remains on track, and we continue to make good progress on our incremental growth opportunities. Since our investor conference in March, we signed long-term power purchase agreements for an incremental 150 megawatts of new U.S. wind projects and 40 megawatts of new solar projects.
On the transmission front, we successfully energized our Lone Star Transmission line in Texas on time and under budget. We continue to pursue a number of other transmission opportunities in North America, as we discussed at our investor conference in March.
Looking beyond this quarter, we are focused on driving long-term growth across our primary businesses that is profitable and creates value. Central to this is a continued search for ways to improve our productivity and relative cost position sustainably.
As we mentioned during our recent investor conference, we have initiated a comprehensive company-wide internal review to identify opportunities to continue to improve our businesses through revenue enhancement and O&M savings. Even though our overall relative cost position is excellent, we believe we have room for further improvement. We are fairly early in our review process but we are pleased with our progress, and we will provide updates on this initiative throughout the year.
I want to take a brief moment to elaborate on the growth plan we laid out for you at our conference. If we simply complete the projects that were in our backlog in March, which are outlined on the left side of the accompanying slide, we believe we can grow adjusted EPS at a compound annual growth rate of roughly 5% through 2016 off a 2012 base.

HMRC to investigate footballers' benefits
HMRC is targeting premier league footballers over alleged unclaimed perks they receive from their clubs.
The High Net Worth Unit has sent questionnaires to leading clubs asking for information on the benefits provided to their employees such as travel and entertainment expenses, company cars, health insurance and childcare.
Information provided to HMRC will then be checked against footballers' individual tax returns to examine any unpaid tax.
An HMRC spokesperson said: "For benefits in kind, the basic rule is that if an employer provides an employee with anything other than pay, it may count as an expense or benefit, and they will need to check whether they need to report it to HMRC and pay any tax or National Insurance Contributions."
Tottenham Hotspur's manger Harry Redknapp is also expected to stand trial in January for allegedly evading tax on £180,000 of his earnings whilst at Portsmouth football club.
AccountingWEB's tax editor Rebecca Benneyworth previously said of footballers avoiding tax: "If enough noise is made about wealthy footballers avoiding tax somebody in Whitehall will have to be 'seen to be doing something about it'."

Paying HMRC taxes 1 thanks
Football clubs paying huge salaries should be made to pay the tax due at the same time the money is paid to the players and not allowed to take months to pay HMRC or players avoid paying tax for money obviously earned in the UK. This should also apply to other Companies paying huge salaries.
Then when some of these clubs/companies go in to receivership money is not owed to the government who then have to make everyone else pay more to make it up.
Perhaps then the small Companies would be happy at having to pay on time or be fined.

Folic acid does work and u don't need a prescription for it.i took folic acid with all my pregnancies.

If u r taking a prenatal vitamin then it probably has all the folic acid in it that you need. Obgyn recommends 800mcg a day. And yes, it is proven to decrease the risk of birth defects. It is available without a prescription in the vitamin islse.

A group of landowners within the Haw Creek watershed want the creek placed under the jurisdiction of the Bartholomew County Drainage Board, and labeled as a regulated drain.
The change would mean the drainage board could limit development and regulate bridges and dams in populated areas.
Citizens for Haw Creek says the 2008 Columbus flood, which caused nearly $500 million in damages, added to sediment, trees and debris that are in Haw Creek.
The debris restricts water flow from the north to the south, causing Haw Creek to flood.

What To Buy: Top 5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: MAA, STWD, GEO, ARE, BWP
Geo GroupDividend Yield: 6.30% Geo Group (NYSE: GEO) shares currently have a dividend yield of 6.30%. The GEO Group, Inc. provides government-outsourced services specializing in the management of correctional, detention, and re-entry facilities, and the provision of community based services and youth services in the United States, Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The company has a P/E ratio of 12.23. The average volume for Geo Group has been 572,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. Geo Group has a market cap of $2.3 billion and is part of the diversified services industry. Shares are up 13.2% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Geo Group as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, notable return on equity, reasonable valuation levels and increase in stock price during the past year. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows low profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has greatly exceeded that of the S&P 500, but is less than that of the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry average. The net income increased by 52.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $22.50 million to $34.21 million.
- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 10.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 2.8%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market, GEO GROUP INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- Compared to where it was a year ago today, the stock is now trading at a higher level, reflecting both the market's overall trend during that period and the fact that the company's earnings growth has been robust. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.

Lost Labyrinth treasure
this wiki
The Lost Labyrinth treasure is a mysterious orb of unknown magenta energy that Metal Sonic discovers and obtains at Lost Labyrinth Zone during Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal.
Game appearances
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode Metal
Metal Sonic finds it in an altar in a hidden room in Lost Labyrinth Zone. He walks up to the altar and absorbs the treasure. After absorbing the orb, Metal Sonic gains a massive energy surge and blasts through the zone, moving onto the next one.
Upon arrival at Splash Hill Zone, Metal Sonic uses the power of the treasure to scare the gaily bounding Animals, before using a nearby rocket to continue his pursuit of Sonic the Hedgehog.
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II
In Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II, Metal Sonic uses powers he gained from the artifact to attack Sonic and Tails in two of the five boss battles he's involved in. However, his efforts prove futile as Metal Sonic is defeated once again.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed
It shows up when Metal Sonic uses his All-Star Move. When activated, the artifact upgrades Metal's speed and his Black Shield attack, greatly increasing its radius and knock-back power.
Powers and traits
The artifact appears to be a very powerful energy source. By harnessing its power, Metal Sonic could use its energy to augment his power, with his power boost being so potent that he would release a harmful purple energy shockwave from his body once he was succesfully charged, and he would give off a magenta aura. While using the articfact's power, Metal Sonic's physical strength is increased to the point where he could destroy entire tracklines up to three times in succession with a single Spin Dash[1] and he becomes temporarily invulnerable to harm when charging its power.
Besides magnifying Metal Sonic's own abilities, the articfact also grants Metal Sonic the ability to project energy, allowing the robot to generate pillars of electricity that exist for a prolonged period of time and create massive spheres of energy.

Sex abuse of children within the Church, part 1 of 2
posted at 9/29/2011 3:48 PM EDT
Public concerns over sex abuse of children by U.S. Catholic clergy began to grow in the early 1980s with news of incidents in Oregon and then in Louisiana. However, they reached major proportions only with reports from Boston, starting in January, 2002. After that, victims of abuse began to come forward in numbers, and soon many dioceses in the U.S., then in other countries, were immersed in complaints.
Dimensions of the U.S. problems appear in a report commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, funded by the Conference, the U.S. Department of Justice and other Catholic organizations, performed by a team at CCNY John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and released in May, 2011. [ available from the Conference at http://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/child-and-youth-protection/reports-and-research.cfm under the title, "The Causes and Context of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Catholic Priests in the United States, 1950-2010" ]
The 2011 Jay College report shows that known incidents of sex abuse involving children grew steadily in the Church, by nearly a factor of ten, from around 1950 to around 1980, then fell rapidly through the early 1990s. [Jay College report, 2011, Fig. 1.1, p. 8] Before publicity about the Boston-area problems, known incidents, nationwide, had fallen to a level lower than recorded in more than 50 years before.
Contrary to some impressions, the 2011 Jay College report showed that sex abuse of children in the Church was mostly committed by men who found multiple opportunities among boys and girls of varying ages, not mostly by pedophiles, as the term is usually understood, or by homosexuals. [Jay, Incidence of abuse, p. 34, Conclusion, p. 74, and Table 5.2, p. 104]
During 53 years under review, 1950 through 2002, the 2011 Jay College report found about 4 percent of active, U.S. diocesan priests had been investigated for sex abuse of children. [Jay, p. 8] Numbers of incidents were higher in some regions than others, notably "Region M," which may be New England. [Jay, Fig. 2.2, pp. 28-29]
Despite complex findings in the 2011 Jay College report, the headline for an article by Laurie Goodstein, writing for the NY Times, described the origins of abuse glibly. [ Sexual revolution cited as cause of priest abuse, May 18, 2011, at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/18/us/18bishops.html ] That approach was soon copied in other media. The NY Times later revised its headline, replacing the original, but damage had been done. Lisa Wangsness, writing in the Boston Globe, showed only weak understanding of the report.
The 2011 Jay College report shows steady increases in sex abuse of children within the U.S. Church, starting many years before the widespread changes in sexual behavior that began around the mid-1960s. It cites closest correlations of abuse with rising U.S. divorce rates, starting after World War II, and with rising rates of drug use and crime. [Jay, "For the 'Causes and Context' study," pp. 36-37]
Sex abuse of children within the Church, part 2 of 2
posted at 9/29/2011 3:52 PM EDT
Notably revealing segments of the 2011 Jay College report are reviews of other religious, educational and social institutions, including Southern Baptists, Episcopals, orthodox Jews, public schools, child care groups, Boy Scouts, Big Brother Big Sister and USA Swimming. [Jay College report, 2011, Understanding sexual abuse in youth-serving organizations, pp. 16-19]
The 2011 Jay College report asserts that the only institutional records of abuse with extents comparable to those of the Church are those of the Boy Scouts. Between 1965 and 1989, about 0.1 to 0.2 percent of Boy Scout leaders were investigated for sex abuse of children, depending on the measure used--1/20 or less the rates of potential offenders described among active diocesan priests in the U.S. [Jay, pp. 8 and 17-18]
Over 20 years there were about 1,000,000 active U.S. Boy Scout leaders, while over 53 years there were fewer than 100,000 active U.S. Catholic diocesan priests. While sex abuse was hardly confined to the Church, over the past 60 years the U.S. Church hosted a notably high proportion of abusers, recording more investigations for sex abuse of children than a U.S. organization also serving young people with far more workers.
According to the 2011 Jay College report, during the 1980s tolerance for sex abuse of children within the Church markedly decreased. Offenders became more likely to be isolated from contact with children, suspended or removed from ministries. [Jay, Sex abuse treatment, pp. 80-82] However, awareness of the many difficulties in treating offenders and the low likelihood of success grew only slowly. [Jay, p. 89, and Conclusion, p. 93]
This year, a grand jury in Philadelphia reported 37 priests in the Philadelphia archdiocese with "substantial evidence of abuse" who remained in active ministries that included contacts with children. [ David O'Reilly and Nancy Phillips, Why 37 accused priests are still serving, Philadelphia Inquirer, February 13, 2011, at http://articles.philly.com/2011-02-13/news/28532317_1_defrocked-priest-archdiocesan-priests-david-clohessy ]
Conclusions of the 2011 Jay College report outline the difficult tasks faced in purging sex abuse of children from the Church or from any other organization. [Jay, Factors, Responses, p. 110] Psychological testing has not been very effective. Sexual orientation and sexual behaviors with adults are not reliable predictors. Only persistent observation is likely to work, and only close relationships are likely to make that possible.
As is well known, most of the priests named in the Philadelphia inquiry have been suspended. Cardinal Justin Rigali soon resigned as archbishop of Philadelphia and was replaced by Most Rev. Charles Chaput, formerly the archbishop of Denver. What remains unknown is whether efforts in the U.S. Church are ending problems with sex abuse of children or have only temporarily suppressed them. The 2011 Jay College report does not tell.

So much verbiage about such a small part of the problem of child abuse. So many non catholic children in the world like 4/5 of the population and you think you have the corner on child abuse. What small thinkers you both are.
Hard lessons, slow progress
posted at 9/29/2011 9:59 PM EDT
A reader here, who seems to have a surplus of venom to spout about most anything, might have known all about child sex abuse by the age of five. That reader's approach has usually been either mystification, cordoning off topics to be understood only by His Majesty's serene experts, or else floccinaucinihilipilification, a coinage treasured by the late Sen. Moynihan of New York, who was able to deploy it with genuine vigor.
Most of us did not know all about child sex abuse by the age of five, and we were surprised to learn of so much in what we saw as an unlikely quarter. The efforts of the Jay College investigating team found some information of wide significance, although most renditions in news media trivialized their work.
Among findings in the 2011 Jay College report, lost on most news writers, were the many difficulties and low success rates in trying to rehabilitate offenders. Evil motives aside, traditions of confession, forgiveness and redemption and a growing shortage of priests have surely made that a hard lesson to accept.
Even exorcism, practiced according to traditions, is not expected to expel a deeply entrenched demon quickly. A ninety-day plan for a Church that measures time in centuries hardly sounds likely. If anything found by the Jay College team were to be credited, it would be the patient work needed to sort out a few bad apples from many sound ones. In their careful sifting of evidence, they found no fast or easy way to do that.

Unknown predators
posted at 9/30/2011 6:21 AM EDT
Without fervency of appeals such as these, less would have been accomplished. However, limits emerge in "all known predators." It may be worth reviewing the NY Times article cited from May 18, where reporter Goodstein cites Anne Barrett Doyle of Bishop Accountability. Her chief objection at that time to the 2011 Jay College report was its reliance on information provided by the U.S. dioceses, saying, "There aren't many dioceses where prosecutors have gotten involved, but in every single instance there's a vast gap--a multiplier of two, three or four times--between the numbers of perpetrators that the prosecutors find and what the bishops released."
Aside from absolute numbers, slow gathering concern within the Church, up to around 1980, and fast growing anxiety afterward, over scandals and lawsuits, may have strongly affected the picture presented by the Jay College report in its key Figure 1.1 [p. 8], showing the incidence of child sex abuses disclosed by dioceses. Such potentials were only hinted in the report, but they could mean a much greater incidence of problems in the historical past and a heavy suppression of potential problems in the present. The "known predators," according to Ms. Doyle, are outnumbered by the unknown.

Mysterious ways
posted at 10/1/2011 8:00 PM EDT
Recently Jay Lindsay, an Associated Press writer, described St. Jeremiah's church in Framingham, whose parish was absorbed in 2005. It has been occupied by continuous vigils since the church was closed. According to Mr. Lindsay, "a Syro-Malabar priest has been leading a Sunday mass...since 2008, with Boston Cardinal Sean O'Malley's permission." [ Closed church sells but protesters won't leave, Boston Globe, October 1, 2011, at http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/10/01/mass_archdiocese_sells_closed_church/ ]
Some eastern rite, or apostolic, Catholics, including the Syro-Malabar Church, are in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, although far less known in the U.S. Our similar experience in Brookline has been with Melkites, who maintained headquarters at the former St. Aidan's Church on Freeman St. until the Newton eparchy established a permanent home in West Roxbury.
During tension over preservation of St. Aidan's, ardently desired by its neighborhood, Rev. Msgr. Jack Ahern, formerly pastor of St. Mary's in Brookline, was led to become a Melkite archimandrite, while remaining a Roman Catholic priest. That is a role in which he continues as pastor of Mother Teresa Parish, St. Peter Parish and Holy Family Parish in Dorchester. Unlike priests of the Syro-Malabar Church and, of course, the Roman Catholic Church, most Melkite priests are married, but those entering as Roman Catholics, like Fr. Ahern, do not marry.
The Syro-Malabar Church, once known as the Church of the St. Thomas Christians, has been notable in Kerala, a state of southern India. Numerous immigrants from Kerala living in and west of Boston are the forces of its presence today at St. Jeremiah's Church in Framingham, which will become the home of the Kerala Catholics of New England, more recently known as the Syro-Malabar Mission of Boston. Perhaps the Lord, as some may still continue to say, works in mysterious ways.

Welcome to the Arizona Yacht Club!
Your first reaction, even if you live in Arizona, might be, "Wait, what? Arizona Yacht Club? Where do you sail?" Let's start there.
We sail at two venues. Dinghies race at Tempe Town Lake, an urban oasis central to Phoenix and a relatively short drive from Tucson. Bigger boats race at Lake Pleasant, a five-mile long gem bordered by the Bradshaw Mountains and saguaro-studded hills northwest of Phoenix. (Sailing World magazine featured AYC and Lake Pleasant in a five-page article about our 54th annual Birthday Regatta.) No boat? No problem. Crewing is a great way to get time and experience on the water.
When we're not sailing, there are monthly meetings: a great opportunity to meet other members, make new friends, and connect with other skippers and crew. The meetings also feature speakers from the highest levels of sailing. Past speakers have included Dave Perry, Peter Isler, Annie Gardner, Sharon Green, Stephanie Roble, Tom Ehman, Bill Hardesty and Tom Leweck.
AYC is a 100% volunteer club, which means it's all about members. There are 220 member families who live across the state. The members who get the best return on the modest membership fee are the ones who participate. They race, attend, volunteer.
Check out our racing program, US Sailing-certified education opportunities, monthly meetings, cruising, and social events that fill our active calendar. AYC is sailing in Arizona.
It is an honor and a privilege to be Commodore of Arizona Yacht Club. I hope you will help me make this an outstanding year.

as a child, and through my teens... I did astral projection. I had no clue what it was. I was scared out of my mind. What would happen is I would wake up at night and feel like I was elevated above my bed but yet at the same time I could feel the mattress under my back? I assumed that it was something evil because my house was haunted. But for years spirits/or whatever it was only bothered me.
I went to a few astral projection websites now that I'm fully able to digest this. But many of the people talked about things from other dimensions being angry sometimes about the astral traveling. Now I'm wondering if that's what was happening. These other beings didn't like me projecting into their realms.
Anyone have experience like this? Anyone else do this easily as a child but haven't as an adult? i would like to try again

Grand Chief seeks local Choctaw descendants
WOODVILLE — Grand Chief Larry Rainwater is seeking local support in an effort to gain federal recognition for the Choctaw Nation.
Rainwater, 62, who lives between Woodville and Centreville, has spent the past several weeks contacting the U.S. Department of Indian Affairs, the Mississippi Secretary of State's office and various area publications to get the word out concerning his recognition and identification effort.
"We are not the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma or the Mississippi Band of Choctaw, those are only portions of the old Choctaw Nation," Rainwater said. "Our Nation was broken apart in the 1800s."
Rainwater said the Mississippi Band of Choctaw requires a 50 percent bloodline, adding some area Choctaw don't qualify because they are not 50 percent.
"Each tribe sets its own membership qualifications and blood quota," he said, adding the Choctaw Nation he wants recognized would require "you can trace back your descendants to Choctaw and are able to establish your ancestry."
Rainwater would like to establish a tribal headquarters office somewhere east of Natchez.
He said, historically, the area of Bude was the last stronghold of the Choctaw Nation.
Jim Barnett of The Grand Village of the Natchez Indians said Natchez Indians went to war with the French in the 1730s. As a result of their loss, they were forced to migrate out of this area.
Choctaw Indians were in the local area after the Natchez Indians left the region in the mid-1700s, Barnett said.
"The Choctaws were the largest Indian group in this region," he said. "They were not a single ethnic group but a large confederacy. They had about 20,000 people during the 18th century, compared to the Natchez, which was about 5,000."
The newly minted United States government signed the Treaty of Fort Adams with the Choctaws in 1801, ceding the Natchez area, along with 2,641,920 acres of land between the Yazoo River and the 31st parallel, to the United States.
According to the Mississippi Band of Choctaw, the treaty was the first in a series between the Choctaws and the United States, forcing more Choctaw land to the federal government, ending in 1830, when the Choctaws had ceded more than 23 million acres to the United States.
Rainwater feels the history behind the Choctaws' connection to the greater Natchez region has been lost.
"I grew up on a blanket being taught history," he said. "My grandfather was a chief and a medicine man. I follow pretty much in that way as a shaman. I go to different towns and do ceremonies."
Rainwater hopes to visit The Grand Village of the Natchez Indians Dec. 21 to perform a winter solstice ceremony and spread his message.
"I feel like I am making progress because I have already had people contact me, and I have established communication with different people," he said. "It's just a matter of us coming together."
Rainwater can be reached at 601-826-3533 or 601-519-1678.

CALHOUN, Ga., March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mohawk Industries, Inc.

My 13 month wont eat
My son won't eat for me. He eats for my husband just fine. Tonight he whine through dinner and just wanted to play. He smacks food out of my hand and is very obnoxious. I told him he needed to eat first. My husbands solution is to force feed him his dinner (Im 23 weeks pregnant, so you may see how that would get old real quick). My solution in this particular circumstance was to bathe him and put him to bed because he just would not eat and was being awful about it. Is it too soon to make them go to bed without dinner yet?

It is far, far too soon for that. He's still a baby! He has ZERO control over his actions right now. Frankly, your husband force-feeding him isn't any better. Try letting the baby feed himself, or adjust his meal time and give him food when he's actually hungry.posted 07/05/2013 by SabraO

Angela Bennett has lived in Killearn Lakes for seven years, never even thinking twice about the possibility of becoming the victim of crime at home, but it happened on Monday. Her daughter woke up to find their car stolen.
Angela says, "I don't want other people to be a victim, and if there are things we can do, even if there are things we can do, even just leaving the lights on if the lighting is inadequate, maybe that would help."
There's at least one thing neighborhoods can do to reduce crime, a neighborhood crime watch. The Killearn Lakes Neighborhood Association says it's tried for years, but with little success because of the lack of participation.
Brad Trotman, the executive director of the Killearn Lakes Neighborhood Association, says, "It 100 percent depends on the residents, in their awareness; the Sheriff's Office can only do so much."
Now Trotman says the association is giving the idea of a crime watch another shot.
Jimmy Williams with the Leon County Sheriff's Office Crime Prevention Unit says, "Frankly our neighbors and our citizens are our best eyes and ears, and the key to the neighborhood crime watch is neighborhoods, communities working together."
Bennett says she'll be taking part, but for now she just wants her car back. The Sheriff's Office says fewer than half of the neighborhoods in Leon County are part of a neighborhood crime watch. However, deputies tell us the programs are successful.
If you want to participate, all you have to do is call the Sheriff's Office and they'll take it from there. Participation is key.

Hi everyone,
This is my first pregnancy, and this morning I woke up with pretty bad period-like cramping. I had very light red colored spotting (just a little bit) as well.
I'm still having some cramping but not as severe, and no spotting since.
I haven't been to the dr yet - I have to have a blood test confirming pregnancy first which I was going to do tomorrow.
How worried should I be about this? I'm trying not to freak out!
Thanks everyone...

Avanir Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Acceptance Of IND For AVP-923 For The Treatment Of Agitation In Patients With Alzheimer's Disease
ALISO VIEJO, Calif., June 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Avanir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNR) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) accepted the company's Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the study of AVP-923, an investigational drug for the treatment of agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The company plans to initiate a Phase II study evaluating AVP-923 during the third calendar quarter of 2012. "This marks the fourth IND for the AVP-923 program, reflecting our belief that the unique dual sigma-1 and NMDA receptor pharmacology has significant potential," said Joao Siffert, MD, senior vice president of R&D at Avanir Pharmaceuticals. "With no approved treatments for agitation in patients with Alzheimer's disease, this remains an area of tremendous unmet medical need. We look forward to initiating our clinical research program later this year."About the Study The objectives of this proof of concept study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of AVP-923 for treatment of agitation and other behavioral disturbances in Alzheimer's patients. The trial is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study that is expected to enroll approximately 200 Alzheimer's patients in the United States. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either AVP-923 or placebo for 10 weeks. The main efficacy measure is the Neuropsychiatric Inventory scale or NPI. Secondary outcome measures include measures of disease severity, cognition, activities of daily living, quality of life and caregiver strain. Standard safety assessments will also be conducted. The filing of this IND represents the next step in Avanir's plan to develop AVP-923 for a broad array of neurological and psychiatric conditions. About Behavioral Disturbances and Alzheimer's Disease An estimated 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease (AD), a number that has doubled since 1980 and is expected to be as high as 16 million by 2050. AD is generally characterized by cognitive decline, impaired performance of daily activities, and behavioral disturbances. Behavioral and psychiatric symptoms develop in as many as 60% of community-dwelling dementia patients and in more than 80% of patients with dementia living in nursing homes; as the disease progresses the risk of such complications approaches 100%. Dementia-related behavioral symptoms, including agitation, can be extremely distressing to the individual, the family, and caregivers. These behavioral disturbances have been associated with more rapid cognitive decline, institutionalization, and increased caregiver burden.

By Neal Bradbury, cofounder and VP of channel development, Intronis
When it comes to selecting a business partner for your backup and disaster recovery (BDR) solution, there are dozens of options to consider, and personally testing 20+ products isn't feasible or affordable for most IT service providers. So, how do you know what BDR solution is the best choice for you and your customers? Here's a quick litmus test that you can use to ensure you don't overlook some important features during your evaluation:
1. The File- Vs. Image-Based Backup Trap. Put simply, there are two types of backups: file-based and image-based. Some backup products perform only file-based backups and others perform only image-based backups. This fact has led some to believe that the two types of backups are in a competition akin to the Blu-ray Disc vs. HD DVD format war that took place between 2006 and 2008. Let's be clear: There is no backup format war — each type of backup offers specific benefits and drawbacks. To properly protect your clients, you should select a BDR solution that supports both types of backups. For example, on premises image backups are ideal for protecting clients from major server failures. File-based backups, on the other hand, are ideal for protecting clients' mission-critical data offsite in a secure cloud data center, which protects their data from fires, floods, and natural disasters.
2. Unnecessary Hardware Expenses. One other important differentiator among the dozens of BDR choices is the hardware requirements associated with the BDR application. Some BDR products only work with specific hardware products, while others are hardware agnostic. If you're doing BDR right and making local and offsite copies of your customers' data, using a state-of-the-art local backup appliance (i.e. expensive) can often be safely avoided. Plus, requiring customers to buy a specific hardware appliance can raise price objections that lead to lost sales and/or compromised backup solutions (e.g. local-only or offsite-only backups).
3. Offsite Backup Limitations. Although there has been an explosion in cloud adoption over the years, it's important to keep in mind that there exists a wide range of features and functions among cloud providers. Before selecting a BDR vendor partner, be sure to do your due diligence and ask the hard questions upfront. Here are a few important ones to start with:
4. BDR Support. No matter how tech savvy your company is, situations will arise that require you to contact your BDR vendor for assistance. When that happens, it's imperative that you can quickly reach a product expert who can resolve the issue. Some BDR vendors try to boost their profits by using cheaper overseas tech support centers. Prior to selecting a vendor, be sure to confirm it has U.S.-based support. Additionally, it's a good idea to contact a couple of their reseller partners and get the resellers' feedback on the vendor's support.
Choosing a business partner to help create and manage your BDR service is one of the most important service decisions a channel partner will make. By using the above suggestions as a litmus test for selecting a BDR vendor partner, you'll reduce your chances of experiencing buyer's remorse down the road.
For additional information on key BDR features, see Intronis' "Online Backup Comparison."

Dedicated to Frances Shrader, longtime employee of the Forest Service, this trail is an excellent outdoor learning experience. Some of the Northwest's largest hardwoods and stately old growth Douglas fir trees are found on this loop trail. The virgin forest here is dense, lush and green. Several of the old trees show fire scars from flames which burned the area many years ago, but the trees' thick bark protected them from serious harm. In all, more than 22 species of trees, plants, and shrubs can be seen along this trail. The trail has a gentle slope suitable for all ages with two benches and two picnic tables tucked along it's length. A free guide is available specifically for the trail, outlining in detail the natural attractions it offers. This short hike is one of the best opportunities to see a climax old growth forest close to the coast. Botanical observation, day hike, interpretive opportunities, solitude, wildflower viewing opportunities.
