LXXHI, No. 234 Aaodattd Pnu UP) ABILENE, TEXAS, FRIDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 5, 1954 PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS PRICE DAILY 5C, SUNDAY lOe IN STORMY SESSION Shopping Center Verdict Deferred After a noisy1 session of oppon- ents and supporters lasting two and one-half hours, the City Com- mission Friday morning tabled un- til Feb. 26 the shopping center request of Westwood Development Co. That firm (Arthel Henson and associates) is seeking zoning as Zone F for an area immediately west of the new high school so it can build a shopping center. One reason the city dads de- ferred action was that they are to hold a joint meeting the night of Feb. 23 with the School 'Board and Hie City Planning and Zoning Com- mission regarding-school-area zon- ing in general...... Room Jammed Every seat in the commission room was filled for Friday's ses- sion, 3uci aciditiOuul chairs iiati tc be Drought in. At times the confusion, generat- ed by spatting .back and forth .with- in the audience taxed the skill and endurance of Mayor C, E.' Gailin in maintaining order. Highlights of the discussion included these: (1) Henson stated in reply to a question from School Board Presi- dent E. Fraley that he is not sure he and his company will build a. shopping center, even if the zon- ing should be granted. He may sell the property, or at least it may be developed by others, he laid. (2) Three P-TA officials -.who have fought against having shop-, ping centers near any school spoke in support of the Henson request. They said that since Mr. and Mrs. Caleb Reed-were permitted by the city to put a shopping center ad- jacent to North. Junior High School, they feel it would be" unfair to turn Hensbn down. Wells, rFraley Opposed (3! Supt.'4. E. Wells, School -Board President Ffaley and Board Vice President Morgan Jones -Jr. and a number of school pa- trons expressed opposition to the proposal. (4) ,A. petition was submitted against'the shopping 'center, signed by every member of, the School .Board and the presidents of all the Abilene P-TA's except the :Fanniri P-TA. citizens -who said they reside In: the- general vicinity Worthiest of ffie. -nfijv- high stood: up as favoring Henson's shopping center plea. (6) Maurice Brooks, attorney for Henson and associates, argued that across streets from schoblsY'are not desirable for resi- dential North Mockingbird Lane is a detriment to the property's value for resi- dential purposes, as it is a" "main that there will eventually be a commercial dis- trict near the nigh school, and that Henson's shopping center would be a "credit to the town." Statement Retracted (7) Brooks retracted a statement he had made in a Reporter-News story, wherein he had said the FHA and Veterans Administration de- clined to finance loans for resi- dences in the property involved. "That was on hearsay, and I have found that they will make some loan he said, "but the land's location would cause those commitments to be such that the residential development would be of an undesirable kind." (8) C. R. Pennington, real estate man, came out for the'shopping center, declaring that the sale values of residences across "streets from schools is 25 to 50 per cent lower than they would be else- where. (9) C. E. Bentley Jr., executive vice president of' Abilene Savings Association (which handles many real estate testified that governmental agencies reduce the amount of loan commitments they'll make on homes if they are to be facing school property or on "main thoroughfares." (10) Fraley argued that if the Henson area (west of the school) is zoned for commercial purposes, the owners of the land immediate- ly south, east and north of the high school could expect to have theirs made commercial, too. "Then we'd have a high school completely sur- rounded by business" he said. Both Fraley and Jones contended that to allow a business develop- ment on the Henson property would break faith with the public, since the people were told before the bond issue that the school would be away from commercial areas. Mrs. W. H. Denham, mother of an 8-year-old child, was among the patrons pleading against having the shopping center near the high school.

Gin.Sfohn Shepperd. sitditoday his: criminal proceedings In the alleged misuse of-public funds in Duval County does not Include "at this time" his appearance before that county's grand jury. The statement was in reply to a request by 79th District Judge C. Woodrow Laughlin of Alice that Shepperd be invited before the grand jury to present evidence on misuse of public funds.. Shepperd also sent a telegram to the foreman of the Duval Coun- ty Grand Jury. "If he told the fore- man, 'T would ordinarily Be glad to appear before you to present such evidence. "However, in view of the action against Judge Laughlin now pend- ing in the Supreme Court of Texas, I do not feel that this office nor the grand jury should 6e used as a possible defense to the charges leveled against Judge Laughlin and sustained in the findings of the Master in Chancery, Judge D.

Allan Shivers called a clean-up of "the Duval County the grand ury was concerned with finding out what such state officials as 4tty. Gen. John Ben Shepperd knew about Duval County aw violations." It was so charged by Dist. Judge 1. Woodrow Laughlin, himself the ibject of an ouster suit now being :onsidered by the State Supreme Court. Earlier, the Jim Wells County grand jury had indicted two Texas laugers involved in a court house brawl with political leader Parr and his nephew, Archer Duval County. Step-up Sought State officials sought to step up the probe of the Parr political em- iire yesterday with Atty. Gen. n Ben Shepperd of Texas ask- ng federal officials to send more nvestigators to South Texas to ook into Parr's tax returns. Parr, the dominant figure in stormy South Texas politics, had not publicly commented following Shepperd's action in Washington. Shepperd told Washington report- ers, before he left by plane last night for Texas, that he had dis- cussed Duval County with Depart- ment of Justice officials. 'We already have gathered some nteresting the Texas attorney general said, adding: "We need more people down there before the court house burns down." Brownell Comments Atty. Gen. Herbert BrowneU said at a news conference that income tax agents were investigating the South Texas political leader. Brownell said no Justice Depart- ment investigation was under way, although he recently had discussed the matter with Shivers. Shepperd, who said Monday that both state and federal agencies had been probing Duval County finances for a year, pointed out that if any federal law violation was fonnd that the Justice Depart- ment would prosecute. IKE TO TALK GOP Chief Hits Demo Doom Talk WASHINGTON (R-N a t i o n a 1 Chairman Leonard W.

Hall's remarks were made speech prepared for the 146-mem- ber Republican National Commit- tee. The GOP chiefs were called in for a two-day try at charting a winning course for the crucial November congressional elections. The party's National Finance Committee yesterday approved a budget of for the 1954 campaign, a record for a non- presidential year and nearly dou- ble the sum for 1950.

Sitchler said Installation went rapidly here because adaptions for the unit were included in the new airport administration building while it was being built. Soltow, who converted the weather search radar from a plane-detecting radar In Naval pa- trol planes, said the type of unit installed here was developed for use at Miami, Fla., in detecting hurricanes. The first one was placed there, the one at Houston was second and AblleneHs is third in the nation. The unit consists o! a big metal cabinet about the size of a house- hold refrigerator, only a little tall- er, and filled with wires, cables and tubes that resemble, a cross between the inside of a radio and a telephone switchboard. This unit, located in the weather, bureau, is connected by coaxial cable with a huge antenna atop the airport administration building. The antenna is a cone shaped disk six feet in diameter. And this is what makes the difference between the radar unit here and about 20 others "jsed in weather bureaus throughout the nation. Soltow said the 6-foot antenna has "doubled the power 16 times" of the 27-inch antennae of other weather radar sets.

The crisis came in a two-hour speech yesterday by Russian For- eign Minister Molotov. He blunliy old the three Western ministers hey didn't know how to hold a ree German election which would ceep out Hitlerites and other "cor- rupt, aggressive" circles. Thus, he argued, their plan for free elections, contained in a pro- posal by British Foreign Secretary Eden, would only endanger the peace of the world. Red Way Only Way His argument was that the Com- munist way was the only safe way So assure a "democratic, peace- loving" Germany. To make certain that Western ideas would not influence the elec- tions, Molotov proposed that all foreign troops be withdrawn from Germany. And the Communist- controlled quarter (17 million pop- ulation) would have a weighted vote equaling all the rest of tie country (47 millions) in shaping a future Reich'. Within the American camp a large group favored giving Molotov a quick explanation why his type of Communist government would not be acceptable to them or to Western Germany, and then telling him bluntly: "The subject of Germany is fin- ished.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: not2easy
As we learned after Fahrner image replacement, we should hold off on making sweeping changes to the markup unless a problem is truly evident. msg #:6
Is the Fahrner Image Replacement technique already on everyone's design blacklist? Do any of you use it?
I don't use it 'cause
Mainly #2 - Both methods can smell like some of the 'spam' techniques that many sites abuse.
Either that or a 'Click here for a plain text version of this site' type thing - where the same HTML would be served but just no stylesheet.
would work well with your accessibility and print stylesheets...Why is there such bad word of mouth over this technique?
Because the "accessibility features" get canceled out. Either the text is not read (no matter if you use display:none or visibility:hidden) or, even if you use an aural stylesheet, many screen readers simply do not understand that media type. If anything -- use padding to force the letter out of view.
If you're going to use a technique like this at all -- don't wrap the first letter in a span, since this may cause a word like Test to be read "T est". Use the :first-letter pseudo instead :)
Because the "accessibility features" get canceled out. Either the text is not read (no matter if you use display:none or visibility:hidden)
Yeah, but my point was that FIR allows you to offer the user a choice between different stylesheets. Not all of these stylesheets would perform the replacement and hence would work well with accessibility tools.
As you know I think accessibility is an important area - but I don't think this is an unreasonable approach.
"Unfortunately, Fahrner Image Replacement cannot be said to be an accessible web technique when used for text. Screen-reader users either already cannot read any text marked up that way or will not be able to in the future when the software is updated to interpret CSS correctly"
Look at it this way...
The Problem
You want to use nice <h> tags to markup your document. You know its the 'right' thing to do and it will be usable to peope with screen readers.
But your boss/client/mother-in-law insists that <h> tags look too boring and you should use those pretty, inaccessible, bandwidth-sucking images that the graphics department produced.
Solution One - non-FIR
You could go ahead and just replace all the <h> tags with  tags, after all the screen reader can read the alt text right?
But now you have just ruined the semantic purity of your HTML, meaning if your site style changes you will have to change the HTML as well as the CSS.
Furthermore, it is now much more difficult for you to support multiple stylesheets.
Solution Two - FIR
Instead you could use FIR to replace the <h> tags with images in the CSS. As pointed out this is NOT good for acessibility.
However, you can now supply a second 'alternate' stylesheet which DOESN'T activate the FIR and the <h> tags will be present in all their glory. You might refer to this as your 'Text View', or your 'Low Bandwidth' view.
In fact, the user can benefit without you even doing this, because modern browsers allow them to turn the stylesheet off themselves (with a single click in Opera).
(You might also choose to use have the <h> tags visible in your print or handheld stylesheets.)
Yes, its not perfect. But then perhaps screen readers could do themselves and us a favour by supporting the 'aural' stylesheet.
Given the situation above I would use FIR every time.
As for using FIR alone -- I think it's a bad idea. I think there are better methods of replacing text, ones that are already accessible...Could you point me toward some of those methods DrDoc? Are these the 'FIR alternatives' that are usually discussed when FIR comes up?
Works great for screenreaders and people without CSS capabilities.
The only downside would be those that browse without images...
You can apply the same principle to create a drop-cap effect. Use padding to shove the actual letter out of view, and then the image as a background. Just remember to use the :first-letter pseudo instead of wrapping the letter in a span tag :)
Accessible Header Images With CSS And XHTML [sitepoint.com] by Sitepoint.
As long as CSS 3 hasn't seen the light (and as long as browsers won't get it right) you're going to need an extra
. But this approach looks promising. Any drawbacks spotted?

Ta-Marsu Group
Update on Ta-Marsu GroupMembers of the Ta-Marsu group are very happy and grateful for the Kiva loan that they received from you. That loan created a huge impact in their lives and businesses. They were able to repay the loan successfully, feed their children, and send them to school out of the daily profits they made.
Having repaid that loan successfully, Ta-Marsu group has reapplied for a new loan of 1,200,000 Sierra Leonean Leones (SLL) per member. This new loan will further help to increase their business inventories, boost sales and increase profit. Osman, the group leader, will use his share of the loan to buy new bales of shoes to add to his current stock.
Previous Loan DetailsMembers of the "Ta-marsu Group" from Makeni, a city in northern Sierra Leone, are pictured here. They are small businessmen who have come to SMT, a Kiva partner, to seek a loan of 800,000 SLL for each group member. With this loan, they will be able to add more goods to their businesses, attract m... More from Ta-Marsu Group's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT)Salone Microfinance Trust (SMT) is Kiva's oldest field partner in Sierra Leone. SMT began operations in 2002 as a microcredit program of the NGO Child Fund Sierra Leone under a USAID program to assist the reintegration of ex combatants back into their communities. Today, SMT offers group, agricultural, individual and salary loans to micro-entrepreneurs through six branches and one sub-branch in rural, urban, and peri-urban areas. By providing small loans and other financial services, SMT empowers poor clients to generate more income to help their families, improve their wellbeing, and create a more vibrant private small-business sector in Sierra Leone.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Super little oven - perfect for me living on my own.
Product Features
Mini in size it may be, but our new Mini Oven is definitely mighty on performance and versatility. With 8 pre-set cooking functions, including roast, bake, pizza, toast and reheat, adjustable thermostat up to 230°C, convection/frozen food button, easy-read LCD display and 120-minute timer, its compact size makes it ideal when cooking for one or rustling up a snack for two, as well as great for caravans and boats.
It's more economical to run than a standard oven, and at such a great price you're sure to recoup your investment in no time. Comes with baking tray, wire rack, crumb and pizza trays, and our new Mini Bakeware Set also fits perfectly inside.
42 x 37 x 26cm H. (16½" x 14½" x 10¼"). WATTS 1300W WEIGHT 4.6KG

Super little oven - perfect for me living on my own.
30 September 2015
As a single person who can't be bothered with faffing about in the kitchen, I find this the perfect small cooker. I remain totally baffled by the 'fifty shades of toast' setting, but for everything else, I just bung food in the oven, set it to Bake 180 degrees with one turn of the wheel, set the time with another turn of the wheel, and walk away until the ping tells me the food is ready.
25 June 2015
I bought this recently for my bedsit and it is fantastic. I can cook any meal I would normally cook in a conventional oven in the same time or less and it tastes just as good. It also takes up very little space so I can have some worksurface free for chopping etc. The pizza setting is fantastic. I used the pan and recipes provided and it was the tastiest pizza I've ever had. I strongly recommend this oven to anyone who has a reduced cooking space.
If at any time, or for any reason, you're not completely happy with your purchase(s), we'll give you a full refund with no fuss, no time limit and with free return postage. It's all part of the Lakeland guarantee
To do this, it would be really helpful if you could call one of our friendly Customer Services Advisors on 015394 88100 first, as there are occasions when it may not be necessary for you to be inconvenienced by sending a product back to us.

As usual, picking up tickets @ Will Call was a breeze. We had very good seats in the balcony section. Pantages staff was, as always, very friendly. Now, for the the show itself. Hmmm... I'll give Patricia Kaas points for not trying to be Piaf. I'll give her points for trying something different. But overall, it didn't work for me. Some of the choices she made when it came to musical arrangements, choice of tempo, orchestration were... odd. The dancer was a distraction more than an enhancement. Miss Kaas trying to match the dancer's performance was a tad painful to watch as her abilities seemed limited. The video w/ Alain Delon on "Milord" was head-scratching strange (as was the horse imagery on "Je Ne Regrette Rien"). The "theatrical" bit was unnecessary. Miss Kass was very good during transitions between songs. Speaking (mostly in English) to the audience, leading them in a sing-along a couple of times. All in all, I was disappointed because, this being a Tribute to the greatest French singer of all times (yeah, I'll argue that point with anyone), I was expecting renditions closer to the originals (with the understanding that Kaas' voice being so different from Piaf's it wouldn't be an impersonation). The "re-imaginations" of the songs were too far from the originals for me to really enjoy the show. But again, Kudos to Patricia Kaas for trying something original (and when she sang Lili Marlene, one of her own songs, she was great.)

"Woombye - land of the black snake" Top 5 Page for this destination Woombye by al2401
Woombye Travel Guide: 21 reviews and 66 photos
Woombye is a small town of just over 2,000 people and is located in the Sunshine Coast hinterland in Queensland, Australia, approximately 100 km north of Brisbane. The name is derived from Aboriginal words for black snake.
When gold was discovered in Gympie (northg of Woombye) in 1867 a road was built to access the goldfields. Completed in 1867 the road soon was soon serviced by Cobb & Co coaches carrying passengers, mail and goods to the goldfileds from Brisbane and returning with gold. Woombye was established as a staging camp half way along the route and was originally called Cobbs Camp. The only accommodation between Brisbane and the goldfields was established here.
By 1877 the gold was almost played out and Cobb & Co withdrew their services but the town remained. A store and butcher's shop were built. In the 1880's the town was given the name of Woombye. After the rail from brisbane was extended to Yandina the town became a centre for local farmers to send their goods to market.
A school was built in 1894 followed by a sawmill in 1895. Pineapple growing was also established in 1895. 1898 saw the building of the Anglican Church and the School of Arts.
The Criterion Hotel, locally and fondly known as 'The Woombye Pub' was built in 1900.
Much of the history of Woombye has been recodred in murals to be found around the town.

Hi Al,we have been to Woombye back in the 1980's but they didn't have those wonderful murals otherwise we would have stayed longer.We did go to the pub though.Great pics and write up and hope to visit again when we are down that way next year.

Baldwin City, Kan. - The Baker University Student Education Association was honored last week for Outstanding Local Chapter Excellence at the National Education Association Student Program Summer Leadership Conference in Los Angeles.
Baker was the lone Kansas school to be recognized at the national event.
"I really feel honored because out of all of the colleges in Kansas we were the only one to receive it," said Tina Wellmann, a senior from Waco, Neb., and BUSEA president in 2004-2005. "I think that says a lot about the quality of the education department and the whole education program at Baker. We may be a small private college in a town that most people haven't heard of, but we take a lot of pride in what we do, and I think that shows through this award."
Wellmann worked closely with other BUSEA officers to meet the criteria for the award. Other BUSEA officers in 2004-2005 were Matt Clark, vice president; Janine Henry, secretary; Heather Hunninghake, treasurer; and Amy Lovell, historian.
The Baker organization has received local chapter excellence recognition at the state level seven consecutive years and twice nationally. A year ago, BU was one of four Kansas schools honored at the NEA leadership conference.
"It's thrilling to realize that BUSEA executive officers and members are receiving both state and national recognition for all their efforts," said Peggy Harris, BUSEA sponsor and chair of BU's education department. "This competition is not divided into small- and large-school divisions. Baker is competing with much larger state universities for this recognition.
To be considered for national recognition, chapters had to submit a portfolio that demonstrated local excellence in four major areas: teacher quality, community outreach, political action, and organization and infrastructure.
"It's exciting to realize that we can provide a quality student education association worthy of national recognition with less financial and fewer people resources than many of the larger schools," Harris said. "This honor reinforces our belief that the Baker teacher education program is a quality one, and our teacher candidates are prepared to become active and productive members of their profession."
In April, Wellmann was elected secretary of the Kansas National Education Association Student Program. She is the first Baker representative to be an officer for the state program.
"It was really special to know that the state was behind me," said Wellmann, an elementary education major.
The Kansas NEA Student Program is the student affiliate of the Kansas NEA. The program has approximately 1,700 members statewide.

Jolteon - Pin Missile, Double Kick, Thunderbolt, Thunder
Flareon - Smog, Fire Spin, Flamethrower, Quick Attack
Espeon - Psybeam, Psychic, Confusion, Morning Sun
Umbreon - Faint Attack, Pursuit, Quick Attack, Moonlight
My memory isn't so good since my Crystal version dried up 5 years ago and I haven't played it since but I think these were their move sets I chose.

My L85 looking like a monster with a Daniel Defense Handguard, Madbull XM203 and a SR416 Battery Box. I'm not far off my UKARA licence which I will be meeting the criteria in October. Hopefully by the end of October this gun will be upgraded for more range (even though it has very good range) and higher FPS, the gun's body and pistol grip will get a repaint to improve camouflage and make it harder for me to be spotted in woodland.
what do you have to do to get the ukara license?
play 3 matches with a minimum of 2 months (basically 3 months), then get verified by the site that the player has chosen to game at. The site then sends you a certificate and proof of the three matches. The player then has to send the certificate to a approved UKARA airsoft retailer and then they put you on the UKARA website. Then they send you a licence and email conformation after that you can buy airsoft weapons without the funky paint job
Damn, is really messed up! Here instead you just need to have 16 years and the money to buy a regular replica (unrecognizable from the real ones for an outsider), but we got to the point of regretting a system type Ukara because here it is full of idiots who do mess with replicas and do damage only to find them in the newspapers that throw mud to the whole category of softgunner.
Sweet grenade launcher!Hope you can get that license.
Thanks, I hope so too
No problem. Wish the UK would let you get away with what we do over here in the US.

Cognition and Emotions in the Creative Process
Gnezda, Nicole M., Art Education
Art teachers are most successful when they teach the whole child, with an awareness of the student inside as well as the work that is being produced outside. Therefore, when teaching our students about their own creativity and that of artists they study, it is helpful to understand complex neurological and emotional operations that are active during creative processes. In this article I will explain these operations in order to help art teachers more fully understand what happens inside their students as they create, and I will suggest ways teachers can effectively foster their students' creativity.
The Experience of Creativity
Creativity is a cogmtive-emotional-manipulative experience that is accessible to all people. Creativity is cognitive because it is about innovating and developing ideas and occurs via specialized mental processes. It is emotional because emotions are integral (Clark, 1992) and "loom large" (Roe, 1963, p. 172) in the creative process. Self- reports and empirical research about creativity show a rather predictable sequence of emotional sensations that tend to occur as the process evolves. Creativity is manipulative because idea development happens not only internally but also through interaction with a medium as an idea is being implemented.
Why individuals differ in the quantity of creative output and the ease with which they engage in creative processes is unclear. One school of thought is that creativity is a natural human ability but is suppressed in most people by social mores and educational practices. Highly creative people are the exceptions who resist socialization pressures (Epstein, 2009). Other scholars believe that some people are gifted with higher levels of creative ability (Haier & Jung, 2008; Martindale & Hasenfus, 1978; Mednick, 1962; Torrence, 1961). Self-reports of creative experiences, brain scans, and comparisons between highly creative and less creative people have begun to reveal that specialized cognitive functions and a spectrum of emotions are associated with creative work.
Creativity and Cognitive Functions
Research suggests that creative thinking involves mental work that is different in style and brain activity than that used during other modes of thinking, such as logic or analysis (Heilman, 2005). While creative processes utilize a variety of neural areas and brain functions, the aspects of creative thinking that result in innovation may derive from work in particular neurological areas and through variations in neurological arousal.
There is indication of a connection between novelty of ideas and right hemisphere processing (Haier & Jung, 2008; Heilman, 2005; Andersen 8t Milbrandt, 2005). Holistic/global perspectives, understanding and producing metaphors, identifying relationships between pieces of information, experiencing and expressing emotions, and perhaps even controlling arousal levels are characteristic of both creative thinking and the right hemisphere's specialized style of cognitive functioning (Heilman, 2005).
Association - making connections between disparate ideas - is often cited as the primary mental operation of creative thinking (Andersen 8c Milbrandt, 2005; Heilman, 2005; Koestler, 1976; Rothenberger Hausman, 1976; Mednick, 1962). Findings from brain-mapping studies support this, showing high activation in brains' associative cortices during creative ideation (Andreasen, 2009; Haier 8c Jung, 2008; Heilman, 2005). Instead of focusing on a single subject, creative thinkers seem to unconsciously contemplate many pieces of information and trains of thought at the same time. Researchers believe that thought patterns scatter to search a wide scope of ideas and then coalesce into relationships between what might otherwise have remained unrelated concepts. These combinations of thoughts form new and unusual ideas.
Effects of right-hemisphere, multi-directional, associative thinking are many and may manifest as traits common to highly creative people. …

The stars headed out for the Brits awards last night. Hosted by Kylie, James Corden and Mathew Horne, the evening was a mix of glam and grungie celebs which made for some ecclectic looks.
Soul-diva Duffy scooped three awards, but who won in the hair stakes? Top stylist Michael Barnes gives his expert verdict on the best styles and tells us who could have done better.
Estelle – Best British female – nominee
Estelle's hair suits her face shape and is just right for the brits – not too dressy and not too casual.
The swept over 80's fringe is definitely on trend. I also think she has just the right amount of colour and a subtle enough shade to give her hair some texture without looking too obvious.
Fearne Cotton – Backstage Host
Fearne's hair is a lovely colour and looks really shiny. I'd bring the crown a bit lower as it makes her head look a bit small.
The soft wave is very pretty and overall this look is "one size fits all" and could also be worn at a Hollywood event.
Duffy – Best British Album, Best Breakthrough Act, Best British female – winner of all 3
Duffy's hair is quite similar to Fearne's but it suits her more because she has a bigger face and it doesn't get lost.
This soft and natural but slightly glam look is standard red carpet and can be worn to any type of event. The top looks like they're tied at the back which is very on trend. Lovely soft colour too!
Florence and The Machine – Critics' Choice – winner
Florence's hair colour is amazing. It's really vibrant and looks in fabulous condition.
The styling is more casual than Duffy and Fearne's and wouldn't look glam enough for the Oscars but is perfect for a music event.
Kylie – Host
Kylie looks great and always carries off this 1940's glam covergirl look really well.
The colour is flattering and her hair seems to have completely recovered from the chemotherapy. Kylie's hair looks well conditioned and the swept over fringe is very of the moment.
Katy Perry – Best International Female – winner
This colour looks a bit flat, as is often the case with black hair, but the cut suits her.
The fringe is perfect as it gives her a perfect oval face shape. The bob complements her fun hello kitty theme although I wouldn't say it's particularly on trend.
Lady Gaga – Performed with the Pet Shop Boys
I don't really like this look at all. The two blonde colours clash – with each other and her lips.
The fringe suits her but she would have looked much classier if the style was more symmetrical.
Girls Aloud – Best British Single for 'The Promise' – winners
Cheryl, Kimberley and Nadine are wearing the standard soft curls that most girls with long hair have at the moment.
This is a safe option as it suits most people. Cheryl's hair looks a bit too big though. Sarah's blonde crop works best for me as she's a bit edgy and looks quite sexy.
Nicole looks a little bit out of place as her look generally would suit someone older. Her colour is a little faded looking too.

New York Diary: World Must Weep for All Tragedies the Key Is Communication. We Have to Dispel the Misunderstanding That Terrorism Is Allied to Religion, in Particular, Islam. This Has Created Some Anxiety and Fear Amongst the Population
Byline: Emma Pinch
The chairman of Birmingham's biggest mosque yesterday questioned the 'selective' emotion which led to September 11 being given more prominence than other tragedies.
But Indian-born Dr Mohammed Naseem, the public face of Birmingham Central Mosque for more than 25 years, said despite world tensions, relations between the city's Muslim groups and other faiths continued to be strong.
Dr Naseem, aged 78, said he spoke for his community when he we not remembering them? 'We must create an awareness and disgust of tragedy of this kind and we must not be selective in this process.'
Underpinning the feeling of Western bias was a suspicion that the indicators of 'guilt' in the Twin Towers tragedy may not be trustworthy.
'In my mind, and those of the people who worship here, there is a doubt and many questions need to be answered. I won't say more than that over what happened on September 11,' he said.
'There wouldn't be any doubt if the US Government would put the evidence before a court, or try the people detained in Cuba.
'Stories put forward don't make any sense. The flying of the hijacked plane was a precise exercise and couldn't be done by a novice with a manual on how to fly a plane.
'I don't buy the Osama bin Laden story. He is an unknown quantity. All information on him came from CIA and it is my belief that he, bin Laden, is still a CIA agent placed there for their own use. 'In fact, the whole story about Al Qa'ida does not make any sense. No outside agency can be so powerful that outside governments can be helpless. You read that bin Laden had 10,000 employees - that needs a lot of cash and how could anybody move that much cash without being detected?'
Dr Naseem added his voice to opposition against the invasion of Iraq, adding that he was writing to other religious leaders, includingexpressed a deep-seated doubt over the 'facts' of September 11 put out for public consumption.
'As for the human tragedy, it should be condemned,' he said. 'Whoever was responsible for it should be brought to justice, there is no question about that. …

The anniversary of the devastating earth quake in Haiti is next week. For one family in New Bern it's a day they will never forget because of the blessing that came to them out of that tragedy.
Pat and Debbie Beck were in the process of adopting 3 girls from a Haitian orphanage when the ground shook. It took over 24 hours and about 100 phone calls for the Becks to confirm their daughters were safe. Luckily all the children in that orphanage survived the earthquake.
The twins Esperanta and Esperancia , who are celebrated their 7th birthday Wednesday, and their older adopted sister Ethecie Were brought to America to be with their family shortly after the earthquake, but it's a day they'll never forget.
"Our oldest has very vivid memories of it. She remembers kids running out of the building and thankfully all the kids made it, but you know it's a lot to remember for that age group," said Debbie Beck.
The Becks say the girls are adjusting very well to their new culture, language, and family.

We had a really pleasant stay at this appartment in the center of Gdansk.
We stayed there with our 14 year old daughter and her friend. Monika's mother gave us a warm welkome. The apartment is nicely decorated and wel equiped.
Schöne Wohnung in der Altstadt von Danzig. Sehr gute Anbindung an die Straßenbahn und den Bus. Nicht weit weg der Bahnhof, von dem man mit der Bahn gut nach Sopot und Gdynia kommt. Also viele Möglichkeiten! Die Altstadt selbst ist toll und man findet immer neue Blickwinkel. Die Wohnung war ein guter Ort um sich auszuruhen und Energie zu tanken! Monika gab uns Tipps und Anregungen.
Die Wohnung war sehr sauber , Central und trotzdem ruhig. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat auch super geklappt und Monikas Tips haben unseren Auffendhalt zu etwas ganz besonderen gemacht. Wir würden aufjedenfall wieder buchen.
We arrived on a late flight but Monika's mother was at the appartment waiting for us as promised and was very helpful in showing us around the place and acquainting us with the facilities.
Next morning we realised what an excellent position the apartment is in. It's a short stroll to the river and all the main sites. It's also close to bars and restaurants but at night it is very quiet which is unusual in my experience - and welcome!
The apartment itself is fairly spacious, the beds are comfortable and there are roller blinds which are very effective. The kitchen area has everything you need - fridge/freezer, microwave lots of utensils and even a proper espresso machine.
The apartment is very clean and airy. The bathroom is a bit small with a shower over a small bath but it's fine for a few nights. There are a lot of stairs up to the apartment but it is well lit so not a problem for us.
We had a great time in Gdansk made all the better due to Monika's apartment!
Lovely apartment. Very spacious and bright. Located perfectly, It's a stones throw from the verve and charm of the old town yet in quiet and safe surroundings. Really easy correspondence with both the apartment owner and her mother. Perfect choice if you want to visit Gdansk.
Ihana ja hyvällä paikalla oleva tilava asunto! Majoittaa mukavasti 4 henkilöä sekä pienen lapsen. Olimme 12-16.4, 4 aikuista sekä vauva 6kk. Kaikki palvelut löytyvät nurkan takaa ja kauniille kävelykadulle on muutama sata metriä.
Tämä on oiva sinulle joka et hae luksusasuntoa vaan mukavaa, edullista sekä rauhallista asuntoa joka on silti täysin kaiken keskellä.
My friend and I enjoyed our stay in Monika's flat very much. Her mother made us most welcome when we arrived. Do be aware, however, that there is an extra charge if you arrive late in the evening.
The apartment is compact and was lovely and warm during our week at this very cold time of year (February). We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. If you like to cook then there is a 2 ring gas hob and a microwave oven. That was all we needed as we were happy to eat out each evening in one of the many restaurants in the neighbourhood.
The location is ideal, right in the centre of town, but in a quiet street. There is a bakery around the corner and a small grocery store close by, with several others in a short walking distance.
There is plenty to do and see in Gdansk even in the winter when some things, including the water taxis, are closed. Don't forget also to see Lower Gdansk and the bastions, the forgotten area of the town.
We will be recommending Gdansk and this apartment to our friends.
We loved our stay in Gdansk. The apartment was prepared very well and very clean. It was located perfectly for our needs as we could walk over to the square in less than 5 minutes.
Thanks for a great stay!
What a location! Right in the city center to explore such a beautiful city. The birthplace of Fahrenheit vis-a-vis and the Ulica Dluga only a stone's throw...
After a very warm welcome by Monika's mother we enjoyed staying at this comfortable and warm place. Recommended. Thanks a lot!

Following the response to her latest Bollywood release "Ragini MMS 2", Indo-Canadian adult film star Sunny Leone is game to be part of "Ragini MMS 3" if it is made.
"Ragini MMS 2", the sequel to the 2011 release "Ragini MMS", released March 21.
"If 'Ragini MMS 3' will be made, then I would love to be a part of it even if it is a small role," the actress said here at a party for the success of films' hit number 'Baby Doll'.
The party was organised by the composers Meet Bros Anjjan here Tuesday.
Lauding the film's producer Ekta Kapoor, Sunny said: "I think that this brand and franchise which Ekta has created is so big as people are going mad over it from the first movie to the second.
"I think that Ekta has done an amazing job to make this go to the next level - whether it is the songs, acting or story. She is just amazing in everything what she has done for this movie."
Meanwhile, Sunny thanked all her fans for their love and support.
"This movie has gone above and beyond our expectations. Even on a Tuesday night, we are getting good collections and Monday night we had an amazing collection," she said.
"I thank all my fans for their love and support," added Sunny.
Directed by Bhushan Patel, the film has collected approximately Rs. 24.5 crore in three days of its release.

ok puzzle
very nice, easy but niceside note. Do people actually wait until it is exactly 3 in the morning.(or w.e their time zone) just so they could type first? can someone maybe explain to me what the satisfaction they get from it is...
Beats me. But then, I don't get the people saying 'easy' either. Easy for you? Maybe, but is that really so interesting to the rest of the world you need to let everybody know? Easy for everyone? Nope, it's not.
I think no one ever received applause for the great achievement of "first!" or "easy!" yet somehow they must feel better after writing it, cause otherwise this would have stopped long ago. Very puzzling comments, these puzzle comments.
If people get off on sayn "first!",then let it be!No one is hurting anyone,are they?just let it be,let them have their moment-stop hatin.
I don't hate. I just think y'all are megalomaniatic egotistic nincompoops, and you're only still alive because natural selection was neutralized by technology, is all.
Easy one.. First time 1st page
If unsure go for the Q sac !

The covers look much better than the tattered cover that are under neath the new covers. colors are very good match for the original covers. i had to return the left seat back because the hole for the lumbar lever was cut on the wrong side of the seat.
