For one night only, Professor Brian Cox goes unplugged in a specially recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his own inimitable style, Brian takes an audience of famous faces, scientists and members of the public on a journey through some of the most challenging concepts in physics.
With the help of Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican and James May, Brian shows how diamonds - the hardest material in nature - are made up of nothingness; how things can be in an infinite number of places at once; why everything we see or touch in the universe exists; and how a diamond in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos.
Brian Cox gives a science lesson to celebrities. The comedian Simon Pegg and physicist Jim Al-Khalili help him explain standing waves in a demonstration to show why atoms are so large and empty.
BBC Two's A Night With The Stars is broadcast on Sunday 18 Decmeber 2011 at 21:00GMT. Or watch later on BBC iPlayer.

(AP Photofax) Sinatra, 50, Engaged to Mia Farrow CHICAGO (AP) Eight stu- dent nurses were strangled and knifed to death in their dormi- tory early today in what one of- ficial called "the crime of the century." One girl escaped to tell the horror. A man wearing a bloodstained white shirt was seized in mid- morning in downtown Chicago after he had attempted to pur- chase an airline ticket to New Orleans. Police said later he did not rnatch the description, how- ever. In what FBI officials termed the worst crime in their recol leclion, the victims, aged 21 to 23, were killed one at a time during a slaughter binge. One yonng woman was stran gled in a downstairs living room of the two-story brick town house at 2319 E. 100th St., used by South Chicago Hospital as a dormitory. The scene is a mid- dle class neighborhood in the 22, Chicago; and Miss Nina Schmale, 21, Wheaton, HI. One body was found in an up> stairs hallway, and three in of two upstairs bedrooms. Miss Amurao was given leavy sedation after telling her fory of the massacre and ilaced in a guarded room in South Chicago. Dr, Andrew Toman, the Cook County coroner, said, "This is the crime of the century. I've been a coroner for six years, and I've never seen anything like this." Miss Karris' body with her throat slashed and a knife wound in her chest, was found at the hallway entrance to the bathroom. In the east bedroom were the bodies of the Matusck, Wilkening and Jordan girls. Miss Matusek had been stran- gled, the others stabbed. The west bedroom held the bodies of Miss Pasion, who had been slabbed several times in the chest, Miss Schmale who was strangled, and Miss Gar- gullo whose throat was cut. Earlier, police said some of the victims appeared to have been shot. Veteran policemen exclaimed at the massive amounts of blood. Later, Coroner Toman said he found no bullet wounds on any of the bodies and said the mur- der weapon "probably was a large butcher knife, judging from the size of the wounds." The coroner said it was im- possible to tell immediately whether any of the dead nurses had been raped. Further labo- ratory tests would be neces- sary, he said.

(AP) Brigitfe Bardot, France's inter- nalional sex symbol, married wealthy German playboy Gunther Sachs today in a pri- vate ceremony lhat ended with kisses and an Irish loast. Miss Bardot repeated her marriage vows in French-ac- cented English before Nevada District Judge John liowbray. Sachs turned and kissed her. She gave him a big hug. Mowbray, an Irishman, salu- ted them with French cham- pagne and a toast from his fore- fathers "May the road rise to meet he said, "and may the wind be ever at your back." The film actress (hen turned to kiss each of the four male witnesses to the ceremony. The marriage took eight minutes. It was at the home of Las Vegas lawyer Bill Coul- thard, who arranged it through friends of Sachs and Miss Bar- dot in New York and Washing- ton, D.C. Miss Bardot and her new hus- the night at the lawyer's home and said they would fly this morning by chartered jet lo Mexico for a 10- day honeymoon. NEW YORK (API It's offi- cial. Frank Sinalra and Mia Farrow are engaged and they'll be wed sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The engagement was .an- nounced Wednesday by Ihe mother of the bride-to-be, ac- tress Maureen O'Sullivan. "I couldn't be more delight- the mother said. "Frank is a wonderful person and I know they'll be very happy together." Sinatra, 50, was causing teen- age girls to swoon as he sang with the bands of Harry James and Tommy Dorsey some years before his 21-year-old bride wag born. He has a son and a daugh- ter older than Miss Farrow. The age difference doesn't matter, Miss O'Sullivan said. "I know people who are an- tiques at 35 and others who can watusi at 70. Frank has always been absolutely sweet when I've seen him." Mia, who has been seeing Si- nalra for two years, has said, "I feel more at ease with Frank than with any boy my own age." Neither Sinatra nor Miss Far- row had any public comment on the engagement. He is in Lon- don, making the movie "The Naked Runner." She is on a shopping frip in New York and will return soon to Hollywood and her starring role in televi- sion's "Peyton her mother said. Before Sinalra left for Lon- don, he gave the blue-eyed, blonde Miss Farrow an engage- ment ring wilh a nine-carat, pear-shaped diamond. She de- scribed it as a "friendship ring" when newsmen first spotted it recently. In 1962 Sinatra gave a similar city's far Southeast Side. The survivor, Miss Carazo Amurao, 23, an exchange stu- dent from the Philippines, said she escaped death by hiding un- der a bed. Her story to police was semi-hysterical, but she described a lone killer with blond hair, 6 foot 1, and weigh- ing about 170 pounds. Miss Amnrao was quoted as one of several girls penned in an upstairs bedroom one of three bedrooms on the second floor. She said she was up- stairs in the house when Miss Gloria Davy, 23, of Dyer, Ind., first encountered the killer. It was first believed that she opened the door to him, but Ed- ward Sheehy, South Chicago police commander, said that it appeared he had entered through a rear kitchen window of the first floor. Some Progress Reported In Airlines Strike Talks Carazo Amnrao one of 10 Miss Amurao was quoted as saying she overheard him say that "he only wanted money to go to New Orleans and that he would not hurt us." As far as police could recon- struct the crime immediately, the intruder strangled Miss Davy and then went upstairs where five of the girls were in bed or ready lo retire. This was at about a.m. The killer bound the wrists of the five with stockings and locked them in the bedroom. Within an hour, three other student nurses returned lo the dormitory alter having finished their night shift duties at Ihe hospital a few blocks away. The killing possibly came during a struggle by one of the girls and the marauder. Besides Miss Davy, those killed were Miss Merlita Gar- gullo, 21, an exchange nurse from the Philippines; Miss Va- lentina Pasion, 23, of the Phil- ippines; Miss Pamela Wilken- NegroesrPolice Exchange Shots In Chicago Riot CHICAGO (AP) Mobs of Negro youths, throwing fire bombs and bricks, stampeded through two Chicago neighbor- hoods Wednesday night. It was the second successive night of violence on Chicago's WASHINGTON (AP) Air- line negotiations push forward today amid signs that some sub- stantial progress finally is being made toward ending the seven- day strike. A hint of definite progress came Wednesday night when Asst. Secretary of Labor James Reynolds, presiding over the talks, met separately with rep- resentatives of the five struck airlines Northwest, Trans World, Eastern, National and United. They reportedly discussed the national issues involved in the request by the AFL-CIO Inter- national Association of Machin- ists for wage increase and other benefits in a three-year con- tract. There was no disclosure of the outcome of the airline meeting with the Labor Department offi- cial, but a spokesman said to- day's session would be another joint meeting. Reynolds Wednesday likened the union-management impasse a log jam which might be eliminated quickly merely by moving one or two key logs. He cautioned against hopes for any quick settlement, pointing out that there had been no change in the union's position since its statement of minimum demands one week ago. Reynolds said the parties still are very far apart but he said "I don't think there is anything in the situation that cannot be resolved by the parties within hours if there is a real will to do it." Reynolds said both sides are aware of their responsibility to the nation to settle the disagree- ments and restore air service. The strike, estimated to be costing the airlines and labor ome million daily, is taking a heavy toll in the nation's great iummer industry the family racation. Resort spas across the nation reported many empty rooms and canceled reservations. Some hotels laid off workers. The struck airlines began lay- off workers in an attempt to hold down costs! Eastern Air- lines furloughed 180 of its work- ers in New Orleans Wednesday and National Airlines laid oft 194 workers. More than machinists walked off their jobs Friday after nearly year-long negotia- tions failed to produce an agree- ment. The strike has halted about 60 per cent of the nation's air travel.

Here is the night's scorecard: Twenty Negro youths were arrested and charged with ar- son, resisting arrest or disorder- ly conduct. Dozens more were seized by police but later released. More lhan a dozen policemen were hit by bricks, rocks and bottles but none suffered serious injuries. At least two neighborhood res- idents were hit by stray bullets and hospitalized. Scores of other persons were treated for injuries or hospi- talized with wounds ranging from cuts to possible skull frac- tures. Fire bombs started many blazes. Dozens of stores were looted. Broken glass from smashed shop windows littered sidewalks and streets. For the second day in a row, a gushing fire hydrant set off street fighting along Roosevelt Road near the Loop. Police turned off the hydrant, which had been turned on ille- gally although it is a summer tradition in Chicago lo cool off wilh gushing fire hydrants. Temperatures were in the 80s. Tuesday's disturbance had started the same way. The onlooking Negroes shout- ed "police brutality and claimed that police hit children wilh swinging nightsticks. Soon rocks and bottles began to crash in the police ranks. Many of the rock throwers were adults but some were only 10 or 11 years old. police charged the ragged lines of rock throw- ers, firing warning shots into the air. N'ohody was wounded daring the exchange of gunfire. Earlier, two Negroes received gunshot wounds in separate in- cidents. Both victims told hos- pital officials they had been standing in their apartments when bullets whizzed through windows, wounding them.

All three MIGs were brought down by heat-seeking Sidewind- er missiles. As U.S. Air Force F4C Phan- toms were blasting the MIG21s, North Viet Nam's fastest jet fighter, U.S. B52 bombers pounded an area just south of the 17lh Parallel frontier where an estimated infiltrating Communist troops were be- lieved to be massing.

In the dogfight Wednesday four Navy Phantoms battled off six slower MIG17s which chal- lenged them as the Americans were providing a protective shield for U.S. planes bombing the Co Trai railway and high- way bridges 23 miles southeast of Hanoi. The Navy said one MIG was brought down by Lt. William M. McGuigan, 26, of Spearfish, of the I North Vietnamese capital. Capt. William J.

Menopause is unnecessary. It can be pre- vented entirely. Younger women need never ex- perience it. And older women can, in most cases, be assured almost complete recovery from their symptoms. 2. Preventive treatment estrogen hormone therapy should begin before the onset of men- opause, preferably in your middle thirties. 3. The myth that estrogen is a causative fac- tor in cancer has been proved entirely false. 4. Menopausal symptoms can be avoided or cured. 5.

While the air war kept up at a furious pace, ground action in South Viet Nam continued in a lull. U.S. and South Vietnamese military commands reported only patrol skirmishes.

Any Ontario Agencies or Faciliators?
Does anyone know of any agencies or facilitators in Ontario, Canada that handles Taiwan adoptions? I can't seem to find any in my research.

That means if I use Microsoft Office in Windows then in MAC does there is a similar program available to work on spread sheets, word documents, presentation, etc. Or else I can use Microsoft Office in it. In the same way what is available for Internet, multimedia, etc. Thanks in advance.

Mining the Mountains of History; Simeon Tegel Visits Roros, Norway's Highest - and Chilliest - Town
Tegel, Simeon, The Birmingham Post (England)
The blanket of snow which drapes over Roros for more than six months of the year gives the town a peaceful, almost supernatural air.
Brightly-painted low wooden houses huddle together on the hillside, beneath which miners bored during the 18th and 19th centuries in their search for lucrative copper.
In the centre of the town lies a spacious timber and stone church, Bergstadens Ziir, which dominates the town's skyline.
One of the largest and finest examples of a Baroque church in Scandinavia, it was first built in 1650, rebuilt in 1784, and seats a congregation of 1,600.
It even has a royal box for senior officials from the local mining company, who paid for it to be built. That industry still dominates Roros although the mines finally closed down in the 1970s.
Roros, a designated World Heritage Site, is now a living museum dedicated to Norwegian copper-mining, the industry which first put it on the map 300 years ago.
The award-winning mining museum is housed in the remains of a giant timber smelting hut which was restored after a blaze in 1953. It opened in 1988 and visitors can still climb down into the Olav mine below it.
It details the rise of copper after the first smelting hut was built in 1646 and the industry's quick expansion, copper being an important war material at that time.
At its peak at the turn of the 18th century, it was one of the most important industries in the Kalmar Union of Norway and Denmark, employing 2,000 people, including many engineers from Germany.
The oldest houses in the town still date from this boom period, any earlier buildings having been destroyed by Swedish cannons.
The town has a total of about 650 hotel beds, but has been mindful to look after its heritage. Seven buildings were listed as monuments of national heritage as early as 1923.
Wood is the main building material, providing more warmth than other possible construction materials in what is Norway's coldest town.
The bitter climate is simple to explain. At an altitude of 650m, Roros is Norway's highest town.
But, despite the icy conditions - the record low is minus 53C - Roros is still a place for outdoor activities. …

We've had that melt-down in front of an empty suitcase, too. Find out exactly what to pack for Thailand to quell the panic & make your departure as easy as possible. Ready? Go!
Clothes to pack for Thailand
Thai dress code basics: The typical Thai (where 'typical' excludes Bangkok bar girls) dresses modestly, often keeping knees and shoulders covered. Rules are bent for tourists – Koh Samui and Phuket, for example, are relaxed resort spots and shorts & T-shirts are the uniform. Still, a huge emphasis is placed on appearance – being clean and well put-together.
TIP! Your crucial intro: Learn exactly what to wear in Thailand – in Bangkok, at the beach, at temples, and more.
The best and worst fabrics?
Remember the climate: It's hot here! Hot. You could quickly come to hate your favourite summer outfit when you realise it has polyester lining and the material is too thick for the tropics. Where possible, choose light cotton, linen or light-weight rayon/viscose over any other fabric. Light silks on cooler days (or at night) are great, but can feel sticky in heavier fabrics. Modal holds water (ahem – your sweat) and stays wet for ages – avoid! Don't pack anything synthetic – like polyester or nylon – except in rainy season.
TIP! Rainy season is a whole different ball game. Learn what to pack for rainy season – it's a totally different list.
Cotton Dress // Rayon Dress // Viscose Dress // Linen Shirt
Tops to pack
Choose light-weight cotton, linen or rayon/viscose. Perfect packing = light cotton collared shirts (for sun protection), tank tops, t-shirts, and a light cardigan if there's a cooler, rainy day. For men: T-shirts, polo shirts and a few collared options.
UPF Tank Top // Cotton Shirt // Cotton Polo
Bottoms to pack
Leave jeans behind, it's almost always too hot for them. Instead, pack dresses, skirts, shorts & capri pants. For men: shorts, swim trunks, man-undies. Avoid anything with a polyester lining, it will cook you.
TIP! At night? Learn the best things to wear at night in Thailand: suitable outfits, fabric and shoes for casual or dressy nights out.
Linen Pants // Men's Shorts // Rayon Skirt // Women's Shorts // Cotton Dress
Thai massage? Hoping to enjoy a few Thai massages? Yoga pants or leggings are great things to pack. They're comfy as pyjamas and will neither constrict you nor parade your parts mid-massage. A nice in-flight option, too.
Swim suits, etc.
Bikinis are fine at the beach/pool, but cover up as you leave – even for eating in beach/poolside restaurants. *Note that topless sunbathing is taboo in Thailand. As for cover-ups, pack good sun coverage in the lightest cotton or linen you can find – and a wide-brimmed sun hat. Add UPF protection wherever possible!
UPF Swim Shirt // Boardshorts // Linen Cover-up // Scarf // Sun Hat
Sunshine: Don't be sun-stupid! Thailand's sun comes stronger than your [insert-Northern-country-here] variety. We doubt it's much fun to fly 12+ hours with skin burnt to a lobster-red crisp. At the very least, pack a light cotton collared shirt and a big hat to avoid burning. Please? No wrinkles? For Thailand's strong sun, ramp up your skin protection to at least SPF 30 – higher if you're fair-skinned.
Thai temples?
When visiting Thai temples, both men and women should wear clothing that falls below the knee and covers shoulders (as a minimum). On such occasions, women should wear long skirts or trousers, and preferably closed-toed shoes. Good to have such an outfit in mind when you pack! In a pinch, a pashmina can double as a cover-up.
Pack lightly! Laundry is easy in Thailand. You can easily find a laundry service anywhere. Really … anywhere. While Thailand's resorts and villas have in-house laundry options, you're bound to find a laundry shop near even the most back-water bungalow. Drop off your bag of washing and return to pick it up when instructed, usually the next day. Even your knickers come back ironed. Packing for Thailand is a matter of quality – clever fabric choices – not quantity.
Rain gear?
Do you need rain gear for Thailand? It rains in Thailand sometimes! Ponchos are readily available and resorts have umbrellas for guest use. You might want your own light-weight, waterproof jacket, a travel umbrella or pocket poncho, especially if visiting during Thailand's rainy season (Koh Samui's is October through December…ish).
More packing tips
TIP! Choosing between two similar items to pack? Shirt A or B, red shorts or blue shorts? Choose the lighter fabric, or the more modest coverage for Thailand.
If applicable to your Thailand trip, find out what (else) to pack for:
Toiletries to pack for Thailand
#1. Mosquito repellent: To avoid mosquito bites in Thailand – You can buy 'OFF!' brand repellent everywhere but we far prefer a natural – and even more effective – approach. *Learn how to win your mosquito war in Thailand – no bites for you!
Mosqui-Go Duo // Incognito Spray // Toiletry Kit // Invisabands // Beat It Repellent
#2. Sunscreen: Pack your special sunscreen – Thai shops stock predominantly Nivea and Banana Boat brands, in a limited selection of SPF numbers. Sensitive skin or choosy about fragrance? Pack your own supply. Even the standard drug store brands are likely cheaper at home than in Thailand (where they know you need it!).
TIP! Beware of buying whitening cosmetics: Whether it's sunscreen, moisturiser or cosmetics – many products sold in Thailand have whitening ingredients, even in the brands you recognise from home.
#3. 'Green' or eco stuff: If you have sensitive skin or are environmentally-minded, there's next to no availability of green or eco toiletries in Thailand (outside expat centres of Bangkok). Pop them into 100ml travel bottles & you're sorted.
#4. Medicine: Required medicine/general ailments – Thailand's chemists/pharmacies are very well-stocked and many speak English, but you might find comfort in the things you know. If you're travelling widely around Thailand, consider a lightweight first aid kit for minor scrapes or blisters.
TIP! A blanket tip for toiletries: if you have a specific product for any purpose, bring it.
What's hard to find in Thailand? Definitely pack your own brand-name cosmetics, electronic toothbrush heads, tampons, deodorant (only roll-on and antiperspirants are available) and Western product ranges of shampoo (locally available products are for Asian hair).
Shoes to pack for Thailand
*Find out the 5 pairs you'll need, including flip-flops: the best shoes for Thailand (with examples).
#1. Flip-flops: THE choice for Thai footwear. In Thailand you take off your shoes before going into homes and many shops – flip-flops are most convenient.
#2. Closed-toe shoes A very light-weight, closed-toe option, like slip-on TOMS, are convenient for flying, go with everything and are suitable for visiting temples. An honourable mention goes to Crocs, which are great in Thailand's heat … but might be the ugliest things on earth. *Not required, ever: Socks. Especially black socks. British Isles, this means you.
'Maybe' shoes
#3. Running shoes: If you're hoping to get a bit adventurous, bring hiking or running shoes (or at least something closed-toe and slightly protective). Remember, "it's a jungle out there!"
#4. Dressing up? A pair of nice women's sandals or men's boat shoes make a nice change if you want to dress up a little for dinner.
Electronics to pack for Thailand
TIP! Thailand uses 220 volts, 50 Hz. If your home country uses 110 volts (U.S. & Canada), note that many items such as laptops, Kindles, cameras and mobiles are dual-voltage and will work in Thailand (220v). Check your electronics in advance to be sure you won't need to pack a voltage adapter.
Waterproof Case // Portable Charger // Travel Adapter + USB Charger // Universal Charger
#1. Travel adapters: Sockets, plugs, power adaptors – Thai sockets will fit two plug types. Pictured above: (A) European with 2 circular pins and (B) North American with 2 flat blades.
- Brits, Aussies (and anyone from countries with creative plug shapes) – you'll need a socket adapter.
- Americans – while your plugs will work in Thailand, we recommend a global adapter if your flight/s route you through a 3rd country.
#2. Cell/mobile phone: Charging your phone/tablet? If you'll be hours or days between safe or convenient places to charge your phone or tablet in Thailand, an Anker external battery charger is both genius and tiny.
How to get organised to pack
All of these guys come in a huge choice of colours – great if you're sharing luggage. To make it easier to find your identical black suitcase, consider a vivid luggage strap.
Packing Cubes // Master Lock // Packing Envelopes // Luggage Strap // Duffel Bag
Is your suitcase safe and secure? A TSA-approved luggage lock is just common sense (as is setting every lock you own to the same code).
Packing your carry-on for Thailand
If you have a bag that will serve double-duty as a carry-on, then a day or beach bag in Thailand, so much the better! Otherwise, if you have a long journey or multiple connections – wheel your things to Thailand.
TIP! Do you have connecting flights in Bangkok? Learn how to transfer at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport like a total pro.
J Pillow // Bucky Eye Mask // Travelsox // Purell Hand Sanitizer
How to stay comfy: Chances are, you're facing a long flight to Thailand. Besides suggestions to pack snacks, load up your Kindle and drink lots of water – sleeping is the fastest way to get to Thailand. The J Pillow travel pillow is the strangest shaped pillow you've ever seen and yet… it just might be genius. Pair it with a sleep mask and some earplugs to ensure total separation from every discomfort of flying.
Your pre-flight checklist
#1. Print your e-ticket: Do you have an e-ticket with connecting flights? Be sure to print your flight itinerary, including the booking reference (or download it somewhere obvious on your phone or iPad – don't just leave it in your email). You'll need it to get your onward boarding passes printed at a transfer desk. (Especially important if you're using more than one airline!)
#2. Thai Baht: What's in your wallet? Thai Baht. Baht is the only currency accepted in Thailand (no US dollars), so check your bank's international service fees before departure. There's no need to travel into Thailand with Baht, unless you'd find it more convenient. International ATMs are very readily available all over Thailand (including at Koh Samui Airport, in the arrivals area). Perhaps exchange a small amount before you leave or at your home airport as a nice back-up plan? (Note that many small restaurants and beach cafés are cash-only).
Misc. packing for Thailand
What's on your itinerary? Any given day of a Thai vacation might include hanging out by the pool, enjoying the beach, dining somewhere nice, renting a car & hiking a waterfall, visiting a magic garden or sailing the seas – there's lots to do. Can your suitcase handle the activities you have in mind? Be sure to pack for every possibility. More packing questions?

As with everyone else in the office, I ooo'd & aww'd over Billow. The colors were beautiful and it's so so soft! But when it came time for me to choose a project - I was stumped. My coworkers were hard at work on blankets and sweaters but I wanted something smaller that I could keep next to my skin at all times - so cowls seemed to be the most obvious choice! I opted to finally do the famous GAP-tastic Cowl - it's been something in my queue for a very long time. I chose my favorite color of Billow - Spearmint - and got to work.

It took me a year, but I finally did it. I learned how to crochet. It's been twelve months now that I've weekly been immersed in yarn, needles, patterns and talk of gauge size working here at Knit Picks. As an art director and a staunch fan of the Industrial Revolution, though, I never saw the need to create my own garments and accessories. Whatever would the machines do with their time if I did?

Pavement covers the newly widened section of Whiteland Road, and a concrete median separates the two lanes; but the county is pleading with drivers to stay off the major east-west route for a few more weeks.
Since June, the stretch of road has been closed while workers have been widening lanes, installing storm drains, laying asphalt and building a roundabout as part of the $6 million project. Trucks have been used to barricade the one-mile stretch where work is being done between Morgantown and Saddle Club roads, but some drivers have tried to go through, CrossRoad Engineers representative Brad Stahley said.
Work is expected to be finished by the end of this month, and the road will reopen to traffic. The project, which is being paid for with money from the county's wheel tax, includes widening Whiteland Road and putting in a roundabout at Morgantown Road so that more drivers will be able to use the road as a new east-west corridor for the county.
When motorists have driven through the construction area, they often try to avoid workers by driving over a median. The vehicles have ground down dirt on the median, and it will now have to be refinished. The damage will not delay construction, which is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 26. The median will be fixed by then, Stahley said.
When someone tries to go through the barricades during the day, workers will stop them and tell them they can't go through, county highway director Luke Mastin said. Some days multiple drivers have tried to get through the construction, and sheriff's deputies were called to ticket them, Mastin said.
During work hours, workers have parked construction equipment in lanes to block people from entering and put up signs, but some people ignore them, Stahley said.
But most of the drivers going through the work area do so at night, when construction crews have left for the day.
Going through barricades is dangerous to both construction workers and drivers, who also could damage their vehicles, he said.
Motorists won't have to wait much longer to use the road. Crews are in the final phases of construction and are finishing a walking path that will extend the length of the project, installing mailboxes for residents and completing landscaping, which includes planting trees, grading soil and seeding, he said.
Starting this week, workers will begin putting down the final layer of asphalt.
The section of road between Morgantown and Saddle Club roads is part of a two-phase project that began last year, when work was done to widen Whiteland Road between State Road 135 and Saddle Club Road.
The first phase of the project, which was finished in December 2012, was left without a final coat of asphalt because construction on the second phase might have damaged it, Stahley said. During the next week, crews will put the final layer on both sections of road. Drivers will be directed around equipment while work is being done outside the current construction area.

Find out how UNDP works in Thailand and is making a difference.
What We Do
UNDP partners with people at all levels of society to help build nations that can withstand crisis, and drive and sustain the kind of growth that improves the quality of life for everyone. On the ground in more than 170 countries and territories, we offer global perspective and local insight to help empower lives and build resilient nations.
Our Goals
Thailand's emergence as a middle-income country (MIC) altered the country's development context and the nature of Thailand's development engagement with partners. The past country programme initiated a transition from the traditional donor-recipient relationship between Thailand and UNDP to a new relationship of mutually beneficial partnerships. Along with this transition, UNDP in Thailand has shifted its emphasis to policy support, technical assistance, and knowledge management. In this context there is an importance of linking policy with practice, which has been highlighted by UNDP's experience across all programme areas.
Our stories
Small grants reducing unemployment and increasing livelihoods in southern Thailand
UNDP's STEP II Project awarded small grants to eight community projects in targeted provinces in southern Thailand (Yala, Pattani, and Narathiwat). The grants are generously financed by the Japan-UNDP Partnership Fund. The small grants aim to assist local communities to become more resilient amid the ongoing violent conflict in southern Thailand, through the improvement of their livelihoods.more
Private sector dialogue examines the human and economic impact of LGBTI workplace discrimination in Thailand
Discrimination and exclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) people in the private sector workplace, which is widespread across the Asia-Pacific region including in Thailand, has both economic as well as human associated costs.more
International Day of Peace | 'Partnerships for Peace - Dignity for all'
Each year the International Day of Peace is observed around the world on 21 September. The United Nations General Assembly has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideals of peace, both within and among all nations and peoples. The theme of this year's commemoration is "Partnerships for Peace – Dignity for All" which aims to highlight the importance of all segments of society to work together to strive for peace.more

Eastern Sarus cranes released into their natural habitat through reintroduction programme
Twelve Eastern Sarus cranes were released into their natural habitat at Huay Jorrakaemak Reservoir Non-Hunting Area, in Buriram province. The event was part of the Eastern Sarus crane reintroduction programme implemented by the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, in cooperation with the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. In Thailand, the species became extinct in the wild in the 1980s with only a few remaining cranes residing in zoos.more

Advancing Anti-Corruption Effort in Thailand - A Multi-Disciplinary Approach
Corruption is a serious national problem in Thailand. In order to engage the public about the moral consequences of inaction and to raise public awareness about reducing corruption in Thai society, a wider channel is needed. UNDP aims to reach the Thai public in more intimate settings and in an atmospheres that will invite active and collective participation. MORE
Promoting Energy Efficiency in Commercial Buildings (PEECB)
Energy is a major concern in Thailand, as continued economic development demands more consumption and production of electricity. According to the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), energy consumption in Thailand grew more than two-fold over the past 20 years and it is expected to increase at by almost 6 per cent per year until 2021. MORE
Climate Change Finance
The 2011 flood disaster in Thailand was a not-so-gentle reminder that the country is prone to climate-related risks, which include intense rainfall, as well as tropical storms and cyclones, storm surges and even drought. It also reminded us that planning and coordination can reduce the negative impact of these risks and the extent to which they cause livelihood and economic damage to the country. To succeed, though, public finance needs to be aligned to climate change policies. MORE

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

Tajikistan: Lord of the bees
Beekeeping is an extremely valued activity in many areas of the world, and honey enjoys a nearly mythological reputation in many cultures. It should – promises weren't made about a land of milk and honey for nothing.
Afghanistan: Well worth the effort
For most of us, putting a meal on the table involves a trip to the store to purchase food and some time in the kitchen to prepare it.

Kosovo: More than run-of-the-mill progress
The village of Milosheva is a pastoral community of 10,000 residents in the heart of central Kosovo's agricultural lands. It is a typical Kosovo village: still recovering from the conflict of 1999, with high unemployment and few income-earning opportunities for residents.
The multiplier effect of wine

text: Avoca House is one of the nicest B&Bs we have stayed-anywhere in our world travels. The rooms are lovely, the neighborhood is quiet. The overall feeling is one of welcoming and comfort and feeling like you belong. The location is perfect: a 30 minute bus ride from the airport, and two block walk up to the house. after a stop at Fagan's, of course. We got settled in and walked right back down to the bus stop for 15 minute ride to the heart of Dublin. Perfect! But we can not talk about Avoca House without highly praising Jack and Audrey and their family-two of the warmest, funniest people we've met. We just love them. Their kindness and hospitality were over the top. Great food, great conversation, loads of laughs. Just a grand time. We can not wait to go back.Annie And Tom Thomas - United States (August, 2015)

My favorite student reaction at Connecticut College to news last week that the administration was canceling the spring "Fishbowl" party, a tradition in which seniors imbibe college-provided liquor and then run naked around the campus, appeared in one of the many comments posted on the student newspaper website.
"I beg the administration," implored one student on collegevoice.org, in a comment that began with an obscenity. "Just give my $60,000 back. I will go home for my education cause this place has seen its last days for student equality (the reason I came here.)"
There were many, many more comments like that. Students howled on Facebook, on Twitter and on the newspaper website about the cancellation of Fishbowl.
Indeed, the controversy seemed to absorb way more psychic energy on campus than the recent announcement by President Leo Higdon that he is retiring.
The head of campus safety, appearing before a noisy student government assembly last week dedicated to the Fishbowl controversy, called the annual event an "all-night naked party" and "an accident waiting to happen."
Indeed, it is not hard to imagine how few minutes it took Dean Carolyn Denard to decide, after arriving at her new post at the college over the summer, that an event in which the college serves students liquor, before sending them off on a naked romp, would have to go.
In fact, some of the students who protested the loudest about the cancellation kind of made the case that the event was out of control, with ambulances being called and the atmosphere for sexual assault ripe.
Kids were described throwing up and falling and hurting themselves.
It seems, according to comments posted by one student, that the college tried to cut back its sponsorship last year by issuing bracelets that limited seniors to three drinks.
This just encouraged kids to "pre-game" the event and arrive drunk, one poster claimed.
When the students showed up drunk, the college served them more booze and played dance music, the poster on the newspaper website said. "The college wrote its own deathwish with those bracelets."
The aggrieved students make a good point that they were not properly consulted before the decision to cancel was made. They are probably also right to complain that you can't just manufacture a new "tradition" to replace one you are unilaterally eliminating, as the administration suggested.
Still, they were left to lament the passing of an event that seems, to outsiders, silly at best and, at worst, dangerous.
"Everyone in my grade considers it an outrage," one student wrote. "Nothing quells the stress of finals and the pressing anxiety of real life like tearing all your clothing off, running across campus screaming and not remembering the shame of doing so the next day."
"No, I don't remember who fondled who, or who went pantless instead of topless, or who did naked pushups on the stairs , or how many male nipple tassels I saw or who was sober enough to remember things no one should remember," wrote one of last year's seniors. "But I DO remember how much I loved my class that night."
One alum posting on the college website had some more sober advice.
"Whining about how much fun it is to be blackout drunk and naked is not going to make the administration change their minds, so cut your losses and deal with it."
I might add, by way of advice, that college seniors for decades have been drinking (in celebration or by way of relief) and partying and even streaking.
But they do it spontaneously.
They don't expect the college to sanction it.
And maybe that makes it all the better.
This is the opinion of David Collins.

WXXI captures the making of the 2011 Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Big Shot, and shares stories from past years of this photography project.
The 2011 Big Shot took place at the National Museum of Play at The Strong and was documented in high definition by WXXI. Photographed on the evening of May 5, 2011, more than 1,000 volunteers convened at the museum and used flash lights to "paint the building with light" as photographers from RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences captured the scene using an open shutter and the dramatic technique of timed exposure. RIT Big Shot: Painting with Light airs on WXXI-TV on Sunday, June 28, 2015 at 3:30 p.m.
What started as a project to get RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences' students excited about electronic flash photography has turned into an annual nighttime event that brings a whole community together. Conceived by Professor Emeritus Bill DuBois and Associate Administrative Chair Michael Peres, the project began in 1987 with the shooting of Highland Hospital. Dawn Tower-DuBois, Professor of Arts and Imaging at RIT's National Technical Institute for the Deaf, took the Highland Hospital photograph, and joined DuBois and Peres in photographing a total of 26 Big Shots over the last 25 years. In The RIT Big Shot the three share intimate details about the shoots, as well as talk about the process and the lighting plan for the photographs.
Using archival footage from a variety of sources, the film tells the stories of several past Big Shots including the inaugural shoot at Highland Hospital, as well as the Eastman House, Silver Stadium, Rundell Library, Mt. Hope Cemetery, The Alamo, The Royal Palace in Stockholm, Sweden, and The Pile Gate in Dubrovnik , Croatia. The RIT Big Shot also features never-before-seen footage of the 1999 Big Shot of the Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum in New York City. Additional interviews include Frank Cost, a professor in RIT's School of Photographic Arts and Sciences; Suzanne Seldes, Vice President of Marketing at The Strong, and award-winning sculptor Albert Paley, who participated in the lighting of the 26th Big Shot at The Strong.

The state Board of Mediation and Arbitration has ordered the New London Police Department to rehire an officer who was fired last year for shooting an unarmed suspect on Aug. 24, 2011, after the man stole an ice truck.
The New London Police Department posted on its Facebook page that it had received notification Wednesday that it must rehire Officer Thomas Northup, who shot Curtis Cunningham, leaving him paralyzed.
Northup, who had been with the department for four years, was fired March 22, 2012, after an internal investigation determined he had violated department policy regaurding the use of excessive and unreasonable force. It was determined that Northup made a premature and unauthorized decision to use deadly force.
But in its decision, the board said the city had failed to provide clear and convincing evidence that it could fire Northup.
The board said the city did not present credible evidence to establish that Northup's use of force was "not objectively reasonable or that it was excessive." The board also said the city misapplied long-lasting legal precedents and its own training protocol when it concluded that Northup's statement and belief that his life was in jeopardy could not be sustained.
"The fact remains that the city was unable to prove that Officer Northup knew that the suspect did not have a gun," the decision said. "Likewise the city was unable to prove that it had basis to dispute the grievant's objective belief that Cunningham presented an imminent harm... In the final analysis all the city could prove was that Officer Northup's belief was perhaps mistaken. However the latter finding does not make the grievant's use of force unreasonable, excessive or unlawful."
The board said Northup should be compensated for lost pay. The decision said it also may consider that Northup was injured and unable to work from March 12, 2012, through April 11, 2013.
Both the city and the police department said they would appeal the board's decision.
"When a law enforcement officer is found to have violated our department's policies on the use of deadly force, I believe the decision to fire that officer is fully justified," Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said. "I strongly disagree with the decision reached by the labor board, and have instructed our law department to exhaust all legal remedies to appeal this decision and defend the city's position."
Deputy Chief Peter Reichard said the police department would not comment on the decision.
Hearings before the board were held Dec. 4, 2012, Feb. 7, Feb. 13 and April 11. Post-hearing briefs were filed June 7 and June 21.
Officer Todd Lynch, the police union president, said he was pleased that the board had ruled in the union's favor. He said Northup was terminated without just cause.
"I would hope in the future there will be better communication between the police administration and mayor's office with the union so that we can work together rather than issue harsh, unjust punishments," he said
Lynch said that because the city had decided to unfairly fire Northup, the taxpayers will now have to pay the city's attorney fees and Northup's back pay.
Last year, the New London State's Attorney's Office decided not to prosecute Northup because the state could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime had occurred.
According to the state's attorney's report, Northup discharged his weapon five times, hitting Cunningham four times — once in each arm and twice in the lower back. Cunningham was shot while standing in the overturned cab of the ice truck after allegedly stealing the truck and crashing it at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Bank Street.
Northup told the state investigator that he believed Cunningham had a weapon when he saw Cunningham turn toward him, "with his shirt protruding in an outline that Officer Northup believed could have been a gun." Northup yelled for Cunningham to "drop the weapon," but Cunningham continued turning toward the officer with both hands concealed under his shirt, the report states.
Cunningham tested positive for the drug PCP after being taken to the hospital, and he admitted to medical personnel that he had "a long history of using PCP and other illegal street drugs,'' according to the report.
Cunningham, who was 27 at the time of the shooting, has filed a federal lawsuit against the city and Northup. He has an extensive criminal record and pleaded guilty in January to his involvement in stealing the ice truck. He was sentenced to one year in prison, suspended after three months served and two years' probation.
Attorney Joel Faxon, a New Haven attorney who filed the lawsuit on Cunningham's behalf, said he could not comprehend how the board would allow Northup back on the force.
He said the wasn't condoning Cunningham's conduct, but that his client was unarmed and did not pose a threat.
"It's incomprehensible that he could be allowed to carry a gun legally," Faxon said of Northup. "Curtis was trapped in an overturned vehicle."

Bangarang Release Candidate 1.0
The media player Bangarang has qualities that could soon make it the default player for KDE. This latest release fixes a few bugs and is compatible with KDE 4.4.
Among the features of the new KDE media player are mixed play lists for films and music and closer integration in the KDE 4 desktop. With the help of Nepomuk, Banagarang saves the ratings for videos and individual music and makes it available for other KDE applications. For example, the data manager Dolphin. For playback, Bangarang utilizes Phonon, therefore supporting all data formats of the Phonon backend.
The release candidate fixes issues in the meta data update and the album covers in ID3V2 tags. The meta data update of saved play lists now also functions as it should. Head developer, Andrew Lake, has also built in Dolphin drag&drop support, and added Chinese localization.

A state program that wants to make sure no kindergartner is left behind is getting mixed reactions from the Clark County teachers who are among its early adopters.
The program, called the Washington Kindergarten Inventory of Developing Skills — or WaKIDS, played a crucial part in the state's landing a $60 million federal grant two years ago. The state Legislature currently is debating a bill that would speed up the next part of the program's gradual roll-out.
The bill to advance WaKIDS into its next phase stands a good chance of becoming law. It won passage in the House, 84-11, and moved out of the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Education Committee this week. A nonprofit that supports the program lists Gov. Chris Gregoire, several key legislators and the chiefs of the state's largest corporations on its board of directors.
WaKIDS is a threefold initiative. It aligns the curriculum for day care and kindergarten; it seeks to strengthen the connection between parents and kindergarten teachers; and it expands testing in kindergarten — not just of academic skills, but of each kid's social, emotional and physical development.
The program was a big reason why Washington won the federal Race to the Top grant two years ago, said Amy Blondin, government relations manager with the state Department of Early Learning. Not many states have integrated what's taught at day care and early-learning centers with the expectations placed upon kids when they arrive in kindergarten, she said.
Although WaKIDS was important to the grant application's success, it doesn't eat up much of the resulting money. A little more than $2 million out of the $60 million grant is dedicated to bringing the program to every kindergartner in the state by the 2014-15 school year, Blondin said. The rest goes to a new system to rate day cares and to professional training for pre-K teachers and providers.
In addition, the state has $900,000 in the general fund for WaKIDS and the Gates Foundation chipped in to implement the program.
WaKIDS was piloted in several schools around the state last year. This year, 165 elementary schools statewide including Orchards Elementary in the Evergreen school district participate voluntarily. Next year, all schools who run all-day kindergarten under a state grant must sign up for WaKIDS.
Of the program's three objectives, the first two — connecting parents and teachers, and pre-schools and kindergartens — have met little resistance.
Some misunderstandings persist. At a recent Senate committee hearing, a parent said she was against having to invite teachers into her home for the mandatory visit before the beginning of the school year. In reality, while the program demands teachers meet with parents individually at the very onset of the school year, rather than in large groups during fall conferences, those meetings can take place anywhere that's convenient for parents and teacher, including at school.
Kindergarten teachers at Orchards largely welcomed the one-on-one meetings.
"It's really neat to find out things about the kids," said teacher Candy Seifert.
Even little details — such as knowing that a student loves Transformers toys — can help break the ice in the first few weeks of school, she said. Those intimate details are unlikely to come up at a big parent-teacher conference. Teachers from last year's pilot program gave similarly positive responses in a survey.
And nobody — at Orchards or in the survey — seemed to oppose having day cares or other preschools on the same page as the K-12 system when it comes to learning objectives.
But the third objective — testing the youngest students and entering their results in a statewide database — is meeting some resistance from teachers and principals.
Their main concern is that the testing and data entry takes a lot of time, which they say would be spent more efficiently teaching kids.
"More than half of our kids start school without any academic or social skills," said Vinh Nguyen, Orchard's principal.
"We're still teaching them to walk in a line," Seifert said.
But since signing up for WaKIDS last summer they're expected to assess the kids in 19 different categories while students are still learning the basics. The assessments aren't like the standardized state tests taken by older children.
The kindergarten teachers under WaKIDS assess if a student engages in conversation and uses social rules of language, for example. They rate if students manage their emotions properly in the class setting. And they record a child's level of motor function — if he can walk up stairs without holding an adult's hand, for example.
That is in addition to academic assessments, such as if students can write their names or count to 20.
Each of the 19 categories is graded on a scale from 0-9, creating a pretty complex matrix for each child.
In a last year's pilot survey, three-fourths of teachers rated both the assessments and the data-entry as "extremely inconvenient."
But it's important to assess the whole child in this way, because child development is interdependent with learning, said Blondin, from the early-learning department.
Teachers say they do these kinds of assessment anyway on a daily basis. They just make these observations organically and don't enter them into little boxes in a cumbersome computer system.
The teachers were told the observations wouldn't take extra time out of the day. But that's not how it's working in practice so far. For most of the assessments, the Orchard teachers have to pull students aside one at a time, they say.
And that takes time away from interacting with the whole class, as does entering mounds of data.
In total, their principal estimates about five days are lost to testing and entering results. Her kids in particular can ill afford that loss, Nguyen said. About three-quarters of students at Orchards qualify for free or reduced lunch, a measure of poverty.
"This is a low-income area," Nguyen said. "They need to get out of poverty, and this is the only chance they have. Every second counts."
The teachers said the amount of information they need to enter is excessive and overwhelming. They also said it's not that helpful.
But the assessment shouldn't have to be a lot of extra work, state officials said.
"The observation is intended to be integrated with classroom activities," said Robin Munson, assistant state superintendent. "I don't know if it can be 100 percent integrated, but in future training, we will show examples of teachers who integrated it."
And that may just be part of the problem — the training for this first year of WaKIDS was lacking, teachers said.
Teachers said the software used to enter and store the data was not user friendly.
"We had two days of training on how to use the tool," said teacher Jesse Irvine Sramek. "But the technology aspect (of the training) could get better."
Yet that was the part the state thought it had adequately covered, perhaps at the expense of training for the day-to-day use of the program in the classroom.
"Our training was just about the instrument and maybe not enough about WaKIDS in general," Munson said.
The state is hearing the teachers' criticisms, she said. Some of them already have been addressed. Training will be expanded for next year and start in the spring instead of right before the beginning of the school year.
The state also is working with the software vendor to make the system more usable for teachers.
"Teachers will be pleasantly surprised next year," said Blondin, from the early-learning department.
The program introduced several components that are "very new and very different," she said. "Change is hard."
The bill advancing WaKIDS was amended last week to add teachers and principals into a work group that's ironing out the kinks in the new system, Blondin said.
But while there are growing pains, it's important to have a statewide, uniform system to know how kids are doing in school, she said. Until this year, no such data existed until students were in third grade.
The budget proposed by House Democrats last week included increased funding for WaKIDS, which would in part go toward training.
Orchards' principal will likely welcome that news. As a low-income school, it receives extra money to run all-day kindergarten, which means next year WaKIDS would have been mandatory anyway. Knowing that, the school signed up a year early to get started. But training and support its principal said was inadequate makes the staff wish they had waited.
"I'm sorry that we suffered a year early," Nguyen said.
