Motorcyclist killed in Deltona crash
Published: Tuesday, January 1, 2013 at 5:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 12:35 a.m.
A 20-year-old motorcyclist who lost control and hit a stop sign Tuesday in Deltona later died at an area hospital, according to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office.
Ricardo Rodriguez Jr., of DeBary, was eastbound on DeBary Avenue about 12:30 p.m., lost control near the Providence Boulevard intersection, struck a curb and then hit a stop sign, according to sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught.
Rodriguez was taken by EVAC ambulance to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial in Orange City, where he was pronounced dead about 1:50 p.m., Haught said.
It appears speed was a factor in the crash, Haught said.

Catholic Charities, a partner in the Westchester County Long-term Recovery Coalition, took a lead role in opening a multi-purpose Hurricane Sandy recovery center in White Plains yesterday, November 8.
"We developed a strong working relationship with the county department of social services and other first responders after Hurricane Irene hit our area last year," said Karen Reynolds, Catholic Charities regional supervisor for Westchester County who is helping organize the emergency command center. "Our goal is to help people with basic human needs and restore normalcy to their lives."
President Obama declared Westchester County a disaster area after the hurricane hit, making residents eligible to apply for disaster aid.
More than sixteen thousand Westchester residents remain without power 12 days since Hurricane Sandy slammed through the region. Thousands more are trying to reestablish their lives as they sift through damaged homes and search for new jobs after the businesses were destroyed.
You have questions? We have answers:
Where is the Recovery Center located?
- The Westchester County Center, 198 Central Ave. in White Plains
When is it open?
- Seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
What about parking?
- Parking fees at the County Center have been waived.
Who is there and how can they help?
- Catholic Charities and other social service agencies to provide residents with recovery assistance.
- Con Edison to answer customer questions about outages and restorations
- FEMA to help individuals and households apply for financial aid for losses and damages caused by the storm.
- The Small Business Administration, which will help businesses apply for low-interest loans for storm-related damages.
- The Department of Health, which will be giving free tetanus shots to anyone involved with the cleanup at the County Center on Friday, November 9- Sunday, November 11, 2012.
What documents are needed?
- Social Security number (including that of a spouse, if applicable
- Private insurance information
- Address and zip code of damaged property
- Directions to the damaged home or property
- Daytime telephone number
- Address where mail can be sent
- Documentation of losses including photographs and repair receipts
Is it necessary to go in person to register with FEMA?
- No. FEMA strongly advises that people register in advance of visiting the disaster center by calling FEMA at 1-800-621-3362 or logging in at www.disasterassistance.gov. Those with speech or heating disabilities can use the TTY number at 800 462 7585 . FEMA representatives are simply there to help residents with the process.
Catholic Charities, a lead member of Westchester County Long Term Recovery Coalition, helped frame the group's mission to foster partnerships between community organizations and government agencies to help the most vulnerable, minimize duplication of services and utilize resources through referral, advocacy, education and direct aid to residents in need.

Tired of Getting Passed Over for Ad Shoots That Go to NY and LA? You're Not Alone
A perennial complaint of photographers working in small and medium-sized markets is that big ad clients in their local markets ignore them in favor of photographers in New York and Los Angeles. Photographers from around the country reminded us of the indignity when we were interviewing them for "5 Great Markets to Live and Work In," a series of articles now running on PDNOnline.
"We get passed over for talent on the east and west coasts," said photographer David Turner of Minneapolis, one of the five cities we feature. (Minneapolis has 68 ad agencies, plus another 75 graphic design firms and in-house agencies).
Jacob Pritchard told us the big disadvantage of being a photographer in Denver is "be[ing] overlooked for the bigger budget ad campaigns…in favor of NYC and LA-based photographers."
Therese Gietler, partner and producer at the Andy Batt Studio in Portland, Oregon, says the studio has never been asked to bid for a job at Wieden + Kennedy (a national agency based in Portland) even though she knows creative directors there. But Gietler is philosophical about it.
"It's easy to be bitter about it, but [clients] have a lot on the line, with giant budgets. They're going to choose the person who they can trust to deliver. It's a sad fact they make presumptions that the local guy can't deliver."
In other words, it's nothing personal, and it's a prejudice that is unlikely to disappear. But Gietler and others listed numerous advantages of their markets to compensate for the inattention of those national clients. Details can be found in our stories about those markets, which are now posted online.

Mayor Dennis P. Williams and Police Chief Christine Dunning Address Yesterday's Shooting of Wilmington Police Officer
Posted on 02/04/2013 11:00 am
(Wilmington, DE) - Mayor Williams and the Wilmington Police Department held a press conference to provide an update addressing the shooting of Wilmington Police Officer, Justin Wilkers.
On Sunday, February 3rd, Officer Wilkers was shot while attempting a routine traffic stop in the Southbridge area of the city. Multiple suspects were involved with the incident.
"As Mayor I am committed to ridding our city of anyone that threatens the safety of our neighborhoods. I've said that 'I'm not in the business of Hugging Thugs!' And that is exactly what I mean. Heinous acts such as this will not be tolerated. Our citizens will live in peace," said Mayor Williams.
The Wilmington Police Department is actively investigating the incident and working closely with the Attorney General's Office and Federal agencies. Delaware State Police and New Castle County Police also responded to the city and provided assistance.
Officer Wilkers, has been a member of the Wilmington Police Department for three years. He remains at the Christiana Care Hospital in serious but stable condition awaiting surgery.

ZF-5638: Add methods to get defined roles, ressources, rules
I haven't found a method to get the defined roles (or ressources or rules for that matter). The use case I need it for is quite simple.
Very early in the request we setup a Zend_Acl instance with some roles, predefined ressources and rules. We also have a database with users and their assigned ACL role. Now what we want to do is creating a simple form with all the defined roles, so one of them can be assigned to a specific user.
But all roles defined earlier are hidden in the protected variable _roles and having to store them in an extra variable, just to be able to use them in one form, doesn't seem to be right.
At least for roles it should be quite easy to add a method like this to Zend_Acl_Role_Registry: public function getRoles() { return array_keys($this->_roles); }
As ressources and rules seems to be hidden too, there also should be an easy way to access them.
Just hit upon this very matter myself. Clearly it would be trivial to implement as an extended class, butshould this feature be included within Zend_Acl for shipping?
To do this Zend_Acl_Role_Registry requires a new method:
public function getRoles() { return $this->_roles; }
Then Zend_Acl requires a new method:
public function getRegisteredRoles() { return $this->_getRoleRegistry()->getRoles(); }
You may then iterate over the list returned by Zend_Acl::getRegisteredRoles(). The keys will be the role ID.
While this is a worthwhile feature, the ZF team will not develop this feature, but if a community member would like to pick up and develop it, they may make an assignment of it.
Like the other commenter said, it appears trivial to add getRegisteredRoles() method. I have added the methods in Acl.php and Acl_Role_Registry.php with unit test method.
Patch applied; allowing to add to 1.9 release branch as well.

And obviously, what was most powerful and most important to Janis was music, and her ability to find her emotion, and share that with people. To hear from her public, and from the industry, that she is still communicating, and being there with them, is very moving for me, and I thank you.

Didier Reynders pleased with commission of Louis Michel
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders is pleased with the decision by the Secretary-General of La Francophonie, Abdou Diouf, to entrust Louis Michel with the task of following up on the Libreville agreements for the restoration of peace and safety in the Central African Republic.
Didier Reynders is convinced that Louis Michel will use his experience to promote discussions and the role of the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (International Organisation of La Francophonie) within the region. The agreements made have helped to halt the fighting, but recent flare-ups have exposed the vulnerability of the situation. The humanitarian and social consequences of this instability require a swift and permanent solution.

(For specific information on this lecture, please contact Stephen Lory at firstname.lastname@example.com)
Dr. Lory has spent his entire scientific career studying Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacterium widely distributed in the environment and an important human pathogen. His work as a graduate student at UCLA focused on comparison of toxins produced by this organism to other related toxic proteins. While a post-doctoral fellow at Harvard, he studied secretion of protein toxins from P. aeruginosa, a project he continued in his laboratory at the University of Washington, leading to the discovery of the type II secretion system. Here he also became interested in microbial genomics, and participated in a project that resulted in the sequencing of the first P. aeruginosa. He developed the first microarray for P. aeruginosa allowing investigators to define its transcriptome in a wide range of environments. After moving to Harvard in 2000, he was one of the early investigators in the field of cyclic nucleotide signaling. His current work exploits deep sequencing as a tool for understanding bacterial evolution and the role of small regulatory RNAs in regulation of gene expression. He is active as a manuscript and grant reviewer for the NIH and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and has published one textbook and over 110 papers in peer-reviewed journals.

I am greatly honored to be selected for the American Society for Microbiology Distinguished Lecturer (ASMDL) Program. I have spent all of my scientific life, starting as an undergraduate laboratory volunteer (when I first joined the ASM) to my current position as a Professor at a research university, studying bacteria; in my opinion, the most fascinating living creatures. Since graduate school, my work has centered on the studies of physiology, genetics and virulence of the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Although I have been meeting fellow microbiologists at national and international meetings, the ASMDL program will give me an opportunity to more closely observe the daily activities of students, scientists and educators in a different setting, at their home colleges and universities. I anticipate having great learning experiences, particularly in settings where one can exchange informal ideas on a wide range of topics ranging from untested scientific hypotheses to the developing of new concepts and technologies. I am also eager to exchange ideas about the educational experience of the various ASM Branch microbiologists, brainstorming about the most effective ways of communicating the excitement of our field not only to potential scientists or physicians but also to the lay public. Through the ASMDL program, I hope to bring to the Branches interesting research findings from my laboratory as well as present projects under development. I am excited about the possibilities of establishing new collaborations that would facilitate both my own research as well as the work in the laboratories of the Branch members I encounter during my visits.

Reviews for Penne with Kale and Onion
"Very good. I used less onion and garlic, but it was still a clever way to make kale enjoyable."
"My husband hates Kale but when another reviewer said her husband who hated Kale, loved this dish, it got my wheels turning. I added, homemade spaghetti sauce, cooked ground turkey and Gorgonzola cheese, his favorite. He wanted to know the name for this dish so I will have to come up with something clever, for future reference. BTW. just the two of us could have eaten the whole casserole, but I saved some for lunch. Thanks so much."
"Added a little Parmesan and yes! It was yummy!!"
"The onion was way too over powering. Maybe half of an onion?? I'm going to add some beans or meat to the leftovers tonight (since I don't want to throw it all away) hoping that bulking it up with something will take away from the onion flavor."
"Wonderful! I made this for a family gathering and everyone loved it! I believe this would be good as a main meal ~ add some Italian sausage and tomatoes...double yum!"

Roche said today it halted development of aleglitazar—including its AleCardio Phase III trial and other trials involving the diabetes drug candidate—at the recommendation of the trial's independent data and safety monitoring board, in the latest late-stage clinical failure for its class of drugs and Roche's Basel-based research effort.
While a Roche announcement stated that the company acted due to "safety signals and lack of efficacy," several news reports quoted a company spokesman as saying the drug caused side effects in some patients that included fractures, kidney failure, and heart failure.
"We are disappointed by this outcome as we hoped that aleglitazar would provide significant benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes who are at risk of cardiovascular disease," Hal Barron M.D., Roche's CMO and head, global product development, said in the statement. "Roche is working with investigators to support the management of patients and their transition from aleglitazar treatment to other blood sugar control therapies."
Roche said data from AleCardio will be further analyzed, and its findings will be made available "at a future medical meeting." The trial was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of aleglitazar in more than 7,000 patients with a recent acute coronary syndrome event and type 2 diabetes.
Aleglitazar's failure is the latest for the dual PPAR agonist class, a category that includes GlaxoSmithKline's Avandia—as well as several failed candidates, including two whose development was halted in 2006 by AstraZeneca (tesaglitazar) and Bristol-Myers Squibb (muraglitazar). Concerns over heart problems linked to Avandia in 2010 prompted FDA to restrict use of the drug—while the European Commission suspended sales of the drug on the continent and placed Avandia on its "Community List of Not Active Medicinal Products for Human Use."
The scuttling of aleglitazar development marks the latest setback for Roche's Basel research operations or pRED, which since the company's 2009 merger with Genentech has lagged behind the Genentech Research and Early Development or gRED when it comes to bringing new drugs to market.
Last year, for example, Roche halted Phase III clinical trials of the pRED-developed experimental heart drug dalcetrapib—a failure that some said may have been behind Roche's subsequent decision to shut down its Nutley, NJ, research site (focused on early-stage research on drugs for cancer and inflammatory and viral diseases) and eliminate its 1,000 jobs. In January, Roche named a new head for pRED, John C. Reed, M.D., Ph.D., previously CEO of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 12 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Delilah Bamboo Cast Iron Teapot Tea drinkers heaven in this little pot! Just add loose tea in the filtered top, pour in the hot water and let it steep for 5 minutes. Easy to use, easy to clean and is an elegant way to serve tea. No fuss, no muss! Enjoy! May 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mommalovestea Great little tea pot This is a beautiful little tea pot.Paired with the tea warmer it keeps the tea piping hot. I bought another one as a gift. If you purchase the tea warmer I use three tea lights and the tea stays very hot. December 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tealightfulteatipper1 Best price ever for an iron pot! I've had this teapot for about 2 years now and absolutely love it. I have also given this pot as a gift. I've seen exact same pots at other specialty tea shops that costs a fortune. I could not believe my good fortune when I found this pot at World Market for such a great price and good looks. Thank you for making my tea drinking such a pleasureable and affordable experience. February 6, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jerey Absolutely meets expectaions Works just as good as the high end cast irons at any other tea store or market. keeps hot for hours, works great with the cast iron warmer. Overall it's fantastic, and I use it nearly everyday! January 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by problem tea drinker Great Pot, learn about cast iron first This is a phonemenal price on a great cast iron tea pot. Folks need to understand that it is cast iron, though. It is not stainless steal, you cannot treat it like ceramic... it will rust. For this reason, it is best to brew the amount you will drink and rinse and dry the pot while it is still warm (personally, I let the pot dry itself while it is still hot). For those that are willing to care for their cast iron pot, this is a great teapot at a truly ridiculous price (a similar teapot from Teavana would retail for $70-170). If you are not up for the maintenance, there are plenty of inexpensive ceramic pots that may better suit your needs. March 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JFK Miniatures LOVE MY CAST IRON TEAPOT!!!! I am thoroughly enjoying this product! Tea is a frequent her on the farm. Especially on cold mornings & evenings...when things quiet down here & its time to settle in. I also purchased the "Warmer" because I was having trouble keeeping the tea "HOT!" Problem solved & back to enjoying my assortments of loose leaf tea! Oh, yes...On, that rusting subject. I have not had any problems. After use, I clean it and set it back on the warmer w/tea candle still lit to completely dry it out...set the lid aside until its cooled down & then place the teapot back on top of the warmer (now unlit & cooled) then atop of my stove for the next use! (If you dont own a warmer as I didn't before...I put in briefly on the stove to warm it to dry) :-) December 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tea Fanatic Greatest Tea Pot Ever!!! I bought this tea pot with the bottom piece that holds the tealight candle last night and have used it twice. It makes the most flavorful tea I've ever had. It's really affordable compared to other cast iron tea pots and would make a great gift. September 17, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by James Great Pot for the Price This pot is a great value for the price, many pots like this say they have a coating on the inside of the pot, as far as i can tell from looking at mine, it has a coating of sorts because i can see visible brush strokes in it Be wary though it is cast iron so it CAN rust on you, i have used mine for a good month and a half (a good dozen different brews) and have avoided rust, i am also very cautious when cleaning it to make sure to completely wipe out the pot or all water and also i leave the top off when stored, so far no problems, but i would do the same with more expensive pots just to be safe anyway to protect my investment I would def recommend it so long as you are willing to clean it well every time you use it September 16, 2011

H.R. 4222 would require the Secretary of the Interior to place 20 acres of land into trust for the benefit of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona. Based on information provided by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), CBO estimates that implementing the bill would have no significant impact on the federal budget. Enacting H.R. 4222 would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply.
Under the bill, BLM would be required to place 10 acres of land that is currently administered by the agency into trust for the benefit of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe. In addition, if the Tucson Unified School District elects to relinquish its interest in 10 acres of land that it acquired from the federal government under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, management of those lands would revert back to BLM, and the Secretary would be required to place them into trust for the tribe.
Based on information provided by BLM and assuming the availability of appropriated funds, CBO estimates that any administrative costs to carry out the bill would be minimal. In addition, because the affected lands do not generate any offsetting receipts for the federal government and are not expected to generate such receipts over the next 10 years, CBO estimates that implementing the legislation would not affect direct spending.
H.R. 4222 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act. Enacting the bill would benefit the tribe.

Judge nixes law on doctor credentials for abortion
July 31, 2013
FARGO (AP) — A judge ruled Wednesday to block a North Dakota law that requires doctors who perform abortions to have hospital admitting privileges, after opponents of the bill argued it would shut......
Sexual Harassment and hes still a judge..
Corwin told investigators that while he hoped to have an affair with the woman, who he kissed at his home after a bicycle ride together two years ago, he didn't intend to start it right away and she misunderstood his intentions, the report says.
What he claimed were his repeated attempts to talk to the woman to clear up the matter – including closed-door meetings in his chambers and one conversation recorded in a courtroom – were characterized by her as an attempt to frighten and intimidate her because she didn't go along with his advances.
Another Bill Clinton slime..

Tom Brady
San Mateo, California
"Don't let other people tell you what you're capable of. As long as you believe in yourself and work hard to achieve whatever you set your mind to, you just keep plugging away. It may not be up to your timetable, but you can get it done."
- Tom Brady
Tom Brady has been the NFL's poster boy since February 3, 2002, when he led the New England Patriots to their first Super Bowl victory in franchise history. He has since guided the Pats to two more titles while establishing new league records for most passing touchdowns in a single quarter, most passing touchdowns in a season, most games with three or more touchdown passes, and most consecutive wins in the postseason. Brady should only add to his impressive list of accomplishments his position as New England's full-time starter. And when he's not on the field, Brady is just as hot a commodity. His recent fashion campaign for UGG went viral -- proof that Brady lives up to his other job as Mr. Gisele Bundchen.
Tom Brady's adonis-like physique has also attracted a long list of fabulous femmes like Nikki Ziering, Tara Reid, Audrey Quock, Layla Roberts, Erin Naas, Maria Menounos, and Bridget Moynahan, with whom he sired a child in August, 2007. "Tom Terrific," has since shacked up with Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen in what may, or may not, be a deliberate attempt to create a genetically flawless race of human beings. The glamorous pair presently lives in Boston with their predictably perfect son, Benjamin.
Tom Brady BiographyTom Brady always knew he would be a professional athlete -- it was just a matter of which sport to choose. A native of San Mateo, California, this 6'4", 225 lb. bruiser was an stand-out baseball and football player at Junipero Serra High, where he used his rocket launcher of an arm to throw for 3,702 yards and 31 touchdowns on the gridiron while also throwing out runners on a regular basis on the baseball diamond.
In fact, scouts were so impressed with Brady's skills as a catcher that the Montreal Expos drafted him in the 18th round of the 1995 Major League draft. Luckily for football fans, Brady decided to pass on the offer and he accepted a football scholarship to the University of Michigan instead, where he lead the Wolverines to a pair of high profile bowl victories, while also setting school records for completions, attempts and yardage.

|1808 West Quoddy Head Light Keepers Cottage
Our reconstruction of the 1808 West Quoddy Head Light Keepers House has been successfully completed. The Keepers Cottage exterior has been built to the original 1808 specifications for materials, construction details and size. The interior, finished in the manner of early 19th Century Downeast Maine, has comfortable accommodations for 4 people, with 2 Queen bedrooms, living/dining room, kitchen and bath.
The initiative of the interior design is to maximize the limited space in which early Light Keepers lived. Appropriate to the Keepers Cottage frugal Downeast heritage, functional shipbuilding techniques and layouts are utilized. The furnishings include antique brass lighting fixtures, chairs, sofa, table, built-in benches, shelves and pegboards. We utilized well-pigmented Early American primary colors of red, blue and yellow plus a pleasing green on the paneled walls, doors and trim. These strong period colors set off the white board ceiling of the main room. The wide board floors are stained dark to support the interior finish details.
The Keepers Cottage is now open for guests. You first view the privately located Cottage by going down its spruce-lined gravel driveway. Approaching, you begin to see great panoramic views over the water to Lubec, Eastport and Campobello. To the east is a glimpse, over mowed fields, of an old red barn, then the circa 1930 U.S.C.G. Boathouse, 2 lighthouses and western views with sunsets over the bay. As with all of the West Quoddy Station complex, there is WI-FI, DirecTV and telephone.

Saucy Skillet Fish RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
5 10 17
The main industry here on Kodiak Island is fishing, so I'm always on the lookout for new seafood recipes. This is my favorite way to fix halibut since it's quick and tasty. I often get recipe requests when I serve this to guests.
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds halibut, haddock or salmon fillets or steaks
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1/3 cup butter, cubed
- 1-1/2 cups (12 ounces) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, salt, paprika and pepper. Add fish and shake to coat (if using fillets, cut into serving-size pieces first).
- In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender; remove and set aside. Add fish to the skillet, cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fish to a serving plate and keep warm.
- Add the sour cream, basil and onion to the skillet; heat through (do not boil). Serve with fish. Garnish with parsley. Yield: 6-8 servings.

Hello Folks,
I'm a newbie to the forum but not to 45"s so thought I would say hello and ask a question or two.
I'm living in Scotland between Edinburgh and Glasgow and have owned my 45" for almost 30 years, although she's been hiding at the back of the garage for the last 10, awaiting an engine rebuild and some cosmetic titillation.
My first question is primarily for the European members. When I was using my Harley as my only form of transport many years ago I used to obtain parts from Tony Bairstow in London, also known as L.A. Transport, and Ian Cottrill on the south coast of England. Does anyone know if these guys are still on the go?, if so does anyone have contact details?.
I stripped the engine last night and it needs a bottom end rebuild by the looks of it, so I'll have to find some oversize rollers for the big ends and perhaps the main bearings. I'll probably have it rebored and fit new pistons, +.030", it's +.020" at the moment.
Hoping I might recognise some names from the past as I used to be a (long distance) member of the 45" club which was based in London a while back. Still got my T Shirt guys!
Many thanks in advance,

Carolina Chocolate Drops, Free Energy, Deer Tick, Trans Am will perform at the Museum this July and August
CLEVELAND (May 24, 2010) – Summer in the City, a FREE live concert series featuring the most buzzed-about bands on the rise, returns this summer at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum beginning on Wednesday, July 14 on the Museum plaza (weather permitting, if necessary it will be moved inside to the Main Stage). Summer in the City is sponsored by Ohio Natural Gas, Kia Motors, Time Warner Cable, KeyBank, Jim Beam and Twisted Tea.
Some of the country and region's most popular up-and-coming bands and artists will perform for the first time at the Rock Hall. Each Summer the City artist or band has been invited to blog on rockhall.com/blog to share their experiences with fans: how they got started, their inspirations, their aspirations for the future and what their thoughts are on performing in Cleveland at the Museum.
Summer Sessions free concert series schedule (Local support will be announced at a later date. Please check rockhall.com/events/summer-sessions for complete concert schedule and updates.):
JULY 14 – 7 p.m.
Carolina Chocolate Drops:
· Rolling Stone Magazine described the Carolina Chocolate Drops' style of music as "dirt-floor-dance electricity." The band, which formed in 2005 in North Carolina, got their initial start on the music festival circuit and soon shared the stage with Taj Mahal. In 2007, they appeared in Denzel Washington's film The Great Debaters and joined Garrison Keiler on Prairie Home Companion. A year later, they received an invitation to play on the Grand Ole Opry as the first black string band to perform on its stage. The release of their latest album Genuine Negro Jig this year has confirmed the group's place in the music pantheon. With its tongue in cheek, multiple-meaning title, the album ranges boldly from Joe Thompson's Cindy Gal to Tom Waits' Trampled Rose and band member Rhiannon Gidden's acoustic hip hop version of R&B artist Blu Cantrell's Hit 'Em Up Style.
JULY 21 – 7 p.m.
Free Energy:
· Philadelphia rock band Free Energy is comprised of ex-Hockey Night band members Paul Sprangers and Scott Wells, as well as Evan Wells, Geoff Bucknam and Nick Shuminksy. The band officially formed in the fall of 2007 and garnered attention with their melodic, hook-laden dance-rock tunes. The group recorded their debut album Stuck On Nothing with producer James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem. Released in March on DFA Records, the same month as their talked about SXSW Music Festival shows, Stuck On You has received critical acclaim from fans and the media: Rolling Stone magazine labeled Free Energy as a band to watch this year and have since appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman.
AUGUST 11 – 7 p.m.
Deer Tick:
· Deer Tick may be called indie rock, but are best known for their infusion of sounds rooted in folk, blues and alt-country music. Nevertheless, in part due to singer John McCauley's voice, which has been likened to a hybrid of Kurt Cobain and Gary Louris from the Jayhawks, the influence of grunge in the band's sound is undeniable. In 2004, McCauley began what would later become Deer Tick at the age of 19 and released the debut album War Elephant in 2007.In May 2009, the band was the first band profiled on BriTunes, the web-only music interview program hosted by NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. The band's third album, the Black Dirt Sessions, will be released on June 8, 2010.
AUGUST 18 – 7 p.m.
Trans Am:
· Nathan Means, Philip Manley, and Sebastian Thomson formed synth-rock band Trans Am in 1990 near Washington, D.C. The band, which started as a side project of a ska collective, signed to Chicago-based independent record label Thrill Jockey. Their self-titled debut album, recorded after only a few rehearsals in 1996, was mainly instrumental and incorporated sounds of bands from the 1970s such as Boston and Yes. Since then, the group has toured with bands like Tool and the Bronx as well as releases seven other albums, solidifying a more rock and roll sound with nods to Kraftwerk, Can and New Order. Their latest album, Thing, was released earlier this year.
Each concert will be held outside on the Museum's plaza. In case of bad weather, the shows will be moved indoors on the Main Stage. Please visit rockhall.com/events/summer-sessions for line-up and schedule updates.

Does the ghost of Francis Bacon haunt The Gatehouse pub?
17:00 07 June 2012
© Nigel Sutton email email@example.com
Ghost hunters in Highgate claim to have made contact with the spirit of the Renaissance philosopher Francis Bacon - in the basement of a pub.
A group of paranormal investigators spent a late night probing the supernatural at the Gatehouse pub, in Hampstead Lane, where he says he made contact with the ghost of the 17th Century scholar.
Mickey Gocool, who led a group of 20 to probe rumoured paranormal activity, said he was in the basement when the group made contact with the spirit.
He said: "There was so much activity in the basement, we felt his presence immediately.
"It was being so active I had to ask the spirit to be quiet. Some of the people I was with asked me how can you say that? But there was so much activity we needed to explore.
"Frances Bacon was a very knowledgeable man, he was aware of spirits through his experiments and I am sure he is aware of what we are doing here, and taking that opportunity to make contact with us."
The scholar has been linked to a ghost in Highgate before.
He died in Highgate in 1626 after conducting a famous experiment in which he stuffed a chicken with snow to try and prove that ice could preserve food in a similar way to salt.
After stuffing the bird with his bare hands in the freezing cold he caught pneumonia and perished.
Not long after, a ghost of a chicken was glimpsed roaming through Pond Square in the first of many sightings of the phantom fowl.
But while punters regularly swap tales of the ghosts in lurking within the village, this is the first time Bacon's own spirit is thought to have been glimpsed.
Kate Wichanski, manager of The Gatehouse pub, was among the group who stayed to investigate the spirits on Friday (May 18).
She said: "I was pretty sceptical, but it was creepy.
"We all went down into the cellar and immediately there was a lot of beeping and we heard a lot of noises even though no one else was down there.
"And when we were in the cellar the orbs seemed to be following me around. It was odd because they didn't seem to be following anyone who didn't work there."
Ms Wichanski said she had experienced odd activity she couldn't explain when in the cellar before.
"There have been times when I have been in the cellar and things have fallen onto the floor that shouldn't have," she said.
It seems Highgate's long history of paranormal activity has taken a new turning.

Nearly 85% of New Zealand's population lives in urban areas (with almost one-third in Auckland alone), where the service and manufacturing industries are growing rapidly. New Zealanders colloquially refer to themselves as "Kiwis," after the country's native bird.
Archaeological evidence indicates that New Zealand was populated by fishing and hunting people of East Polynesian ancestry perhaps 1,000 years before Europeans arrived. Known to some scholars as the Moa-hunters, they may have merged with later waves of Polynesians who, according to Maori tradition, arrived between 952 and 1150. Some of the Maoris called their new homeland "Aotearoa," usually translated as "land of the long white cloud."
In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch navigator, made the first recorded European sighting of New Zealand and sketched sections of the two main islands' west coasts. English Captain James Cook thoroughly explored the coastline during three South Pacific voyages beginning in 1769. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries lumbering, seal hunting, and whaling attracted a few European settlers to New Zealand. In 1840, the United Kingdom established British sovereignty through the Treaty of Waitangi signed that year with Maori chiefs.
In the same year, selected groups from the United Kingdom began the colonization process. Expanding European settlement led to conflict with Maori, most notably in the Maori land wars of the 1860s. British and colonial forces eventually overcame determined Maori resistance. During this period, many Maori died from disease and warfare, much of it intertribal.
Constitutional government began to develop in the 1850s. In 1867, the Maori won the right to a certain number of reserved seats in Parliament. During this period, the livestock industry began to expand, and the foundations of New Zealand's modern economy took shape. By the end of the 19th century, improved transportation facilities made possible a great overseas trade in wool, meat, and dairy products.
By the 1890s, parliamentary government along democratic lines was well-established, and New Zealand's social institutions assumed their present form. Women received the right to vote in national elections in 1893. The turn of the century brought sweeping social reforms that built the foundation for New Zealand's version of the welfare state.
The Maori gradually recovered from population decline and, through interaction and intermarriage with settlers and missionaries, adopted much of European culture. In recent decades, Maori have become increasingly urbanized and have become more politically active and culturally assertive.
New Zealand was declared a dominion by a royal proclamation in 1907. It achieved full internal and external autonomy by the Statute of Westminster Adoption Act in 1947, although this merely formalized a situation that had existed for many years.
New Zealand has a parliamentary system of government closely patterned on that of the United Kingdom and is a fully independent member of the Commonwealth. It has no written constitution.
Executive authority is vested in a Cabinet led by the prime minister, who is the leader of the political party or coalition of parties holding the majority of seats in Parliament. All Cabinet ministers must be members of Parliament and are collectively responsible to it.
The unicameral Parliament (House of Representatives) has 120 seats, six of which currently are reserved for Maori elected on a separate Maori roll. However, Maori also may run for, and have been elected to, nonreserved seats. Parliaments are elected for a maximum term of 3 years, although elections can be called sooner.
The judiciary consists of the Court of Appeals, the High Court, and the District Courts. New Zealand law has three principal sources--English common law, certain statutes of the U.K. Parliament enacted before 1947, and statutes of the New Zealand Parliament. In interpreting common law, the courts have been concerned with preserving uniformity with common law as interpreted in the United Kingdom. This uniformity is ensured by the maintenance of the Privy Council in London as the final court of appeal and by judges' practice of following British decisions, even though, technically, they are not bound by them.
Local government in New Zealand has only the powers conferred upon it by Parliament. The country's 12 regional councils are directly elected, set their own tax rates, and have a chairman elected by their members. Regional council responsibilities include environmental management, regional aspects of civil defense, and transportation planning. The 74 "territorial authorities"--15 city councils, 58 district councils in rural areas, and one county council for the Chatham Islands--are directly elected, raise local taxes at rates they themselves set, and are headed by popularly elected mayors. The territorial authorities may delegate powers to local community boards. These boards, instituted at the behest either local citizens or territorial authorities, advocate community views but cannot levy taxes, appoint staff, or own property.

The conservative National Party and left-leaning Labour Party have dominated New Zealand political life since a Labour government came to power in 1935. During 14 years in office, the Labour Party implemented a broad array of social and economic legislation, including comprehensive social security, a largescale public works program, a 40-hour work week, a minimum basic wage, and compulsory unionism. The National Party won control of the government in 1949 and adopted many welfare measures instituted by the Labour Party. Except for two brief periods of Labour governments in 1957-60 and 1972-75, National held power until 1984. After regaining control in 1984, the Labour government instituted a series of radical market-oriented reforms in response to New Zealand's mounting external debt. It also enacted anti-nuclear legislation that effectively brought about New Zealand's suspension from the ANZUS security alliance with the United States and Australia.
In October 1990, the National Party again formed the government, for the first of three, 3-year terms. In 1996, New Zealand inaugurated a mixed-member proportional (MMP) system to elect its Parliament. The system was designed to increase representation of smaller parties in Parliament and appears to have done so in the MMP elections to date. Since 1996, neither the National nor the Labour Party has had an absolute majority in Parliament, and for all but one of those years, the government has been a minority one. The current Labour government followed its November 1999 election success by outpolling National 41% to 21% in July 2002 elections. Labour formed a coalition, minority government with Jim Anderton's Progressive Coalition, a left-wing party holding two seats in Parliament. The government relies on support from the centrist United Future Party to pass legislation.
New Zealand's economy has been based on a foundation of exports from its very efficient agricultural system. Leading agricultural exports include meat, dairy products, forest products, fruit and vegetables, fish, and wool. New Zealand was a direct beneficiary of many of the reforms achieved under the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations, with agriculture in general and the dairy sector in particular enjoying many new trade opportunities. The country has substantial hydroelectric power and reserves of natural gas. Leading manufacturing sectors are food processing, metal fabrication, and wood and paper products.
Since 1984, government subsidies including for agriculture were eliminated; import regulations liberalized; tariffs unilaterally slashed; exchange rates freely floated; controls on interest rates, wages, and prices removed; and marginal rates of taxation reduced. Tight monetary policy and major efforts to reduce the government budget deficit brought the inflation rate down from an annual rate of more than 18% in 1987. The restructuring and sale of government-owned enterprises in the 1990s reduced government's role in the economy and permitted the retirement of some public debt. As a result, New Zealand is now one of the most open economies in the world.
Economic growth has remained relatively robust in recent years (i.e., around 3%), benefiting from a boost in exports provided by a weak Kiwi dollar, good weather, and favorable international commodity prices. In 2002, consumer spending and housing investment have played a larger role in underpinning this expansion. New Zealand did not experience the slowdown in growth seen in many other countries following the events of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent fall in overseas share markets. The prolonged period of good economic growth led the unemployment rate to drop from 7.8% in 1999 to 5.4% in late 2002. The growth also has helped to substantially narrow the current account deficit, which stood at 8% of GDP in 2000. Forecasters now expect this ratio to be in the 4%-5% range over the next few years.
New Zealand's economy has been helped by strong economic relations with Australia. Australia and New Zealand are partners in "Closer Economic Relations" (CER), which allows for free trade in goods and most services. Since 1990, CER has created a single market of more than 22 million people, and this has provided new opportunities for New Zealand exporters. Australia is now the destination of 20% of New Zealand's exports, compared to 14% in 1983. Both sides also have agreed to consider extending CER to product standardization and taxation policy. New Zealand initialed a free trade agreement with Singapore in September 2000 and is seeking other bilateral/regional trade agreements in the Pacific area.
U.S. goods and services have been competitive in New Zealand, though the strong U.S. dollar has created challenges for U.S. exporters in 2000-01. The market-led economy offers many opportunities for U.S. exporters and investors. Investment opportunities exist in chemicals, food preparation, finance, tourism, and forest products, as well as in franchising. The best sales and investment prospects are for information technology, tourism, food processing and packaging, biotechnology, and medical equipment. On the agricultural side, the best prospects are for fresh fruit, snack foods, specialized grocery items such as organic foods, and soybean meal.
New Zealand welcomes and encourages foreign investment without discrimination. The Overseas Investment Commission (OIC) must give consent to foreign investments that would control 25% of more of businesses or property worth more than NZ$50 million. Restrictions and approval requirements also apply to certain investments in land and in the commercial fishing industry. OIC consent is based on a national interest determination, but no performance requirements are attached to foreign direct investment after consent is given. Full remittance of profits and capital is permitted through normal banking channels.
A number of U.S. companies have subsidiary branches in New Zealand. Many operate through local agents, and some are in association in joint ventures. The American Chamber of Commerce is active in New Zealand, with its main office in Auckland and a branch committee in Wellington.
New Zealand has three defense policy objectives--defend New Zealand against low-level threats, contribute to regional security, and play a part in global security efforts. New Zealand considers its own national defense needs to be modest. Its defense budget provides for selected upgrades in equipment, most of which is devoted to the army. Shortly after winning the 1999 election, the Labour government canceled a lease-to-buy agreement with the United States for 28 F-16 aircraft. In 2001, they contracted to purchase 105 LAVIIIs for U.S.$300 million, with initial delivery in 2003. In 2002, they announced planned upgrades of its P3 and C-130 Hercules aircraft and committed to spend U.S.$250 million to purchase a multirole vessel and several offshore patrol vessels, and U.S.$100 million for two used Boeing 757s.
In May 2001, the government announced it was scrapping its combat air force. New Zealand states it maintains a "credible minimum force," although critics maintain that the country's defense forces have fallen below this standard. With a claimed area of direct strategic concern that extends from Australia to Southeast Asia to the South Pacific, and with defense expenditures that total around 1% of GDP, New Zealand necessarily places substantial reliance on its defense relationship with other countries, in particular Australia.
New Zealand is an active participant in multilateral peacekeeping. It has taken a leading role in trying to bring peace, reconciliation, and reconstruction to the Solomon Islands and the neighboring island of Bougainville. New Zealand maintains a contingent in the Sinai Multinational Force and Observers and has contributed to UN peacekeeping operations in Angola, Cambodia, Somalia, and the former Yugoslavia. It also participated in the Multilateral Interception Force in the Persian Gulf. New Zealand's most recent PKO experience has been in East Timor, where it initially dispatched almost 10% of its entire defense force.
New Zealand participates in sharing training facilities, personnel exchanges, and joint exercises with the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Tonga, and South Pacific states. It also exercises with its Five-Power Defense Arrangement partners--Australia, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, and Singapore. Due to New Zealand's antinuclear policy, defense cooperation with the United States, including training exercises, has been significantly restricted since 1986.
New Zealand's foreign policy is oriented chiefly toward developed democratic nations and emerging Pacific economies. The country's major political parties generally have agreed on the broad outlines of foreign policy, and the current coalition government has been active in multilateral fora on issues of recurring interest to New Zealand--trade liberalization, environment, and arms control. New Zealand values the United Nations and its participation in that organization.
It also values its participation in the World Trade Organization (WTO); World Bank; International Monetary Fund (IMF); Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); International Energy Agency; Asian Development Bank; South Pacific Forum; The Pacific Community; Colombo Plan; Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC); INTELSAT; and the International Whaling Commission. New Zealand also is an active member of the Commonwealth. Despite the 1985 rupture in the ANZUS alliance, New Zealand has maintained good working relations with the United States and Australia on a broad array of international issues.
In the past, New Zealand's geographic isolation and its agricultural economy's general prosperity tended to minimize public interest in world affairs. However, growing global trade and other international economic events have made New Zealanders increasingly aware of their country's dependence on stable overseas markets.
New Zealand's economic involvement with Asia has been increasingly important through expanding trade with the growing economies of Asia. New Zealand is a "dialogue partner" with the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and an active participant in APEC.
As a charter member of the Colombo Plan, New Zealand has provided Asian countries with technical assistance and capital. It also contributes through the Asian Development Bank and through UN programs and is a member of the UN Economic and Social Council for Asia and the Pacific.
New Zealand has focused its bilateral economic assistance resources on projects in the South Pacific island states, especially on Bougainville. The country's long association with Samoa (formerly known as Western Samoa), reflected in a treaty of friendship signed in 1962, and its close association with Tonga have resulted in a flow of immigrants and visitors under work permit schemes from both countries. New Zealand administers the Tokelau Islands and provides foreign policy and economic support when requested for the freely associated self-governing states of the Cook Islands and Niue. Inhabitants of these areas hold New Zealand citizenship.
In 1947, New Zealand joined Australia, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States to form the South Pacific Commission, a regional body to promote the welfare of the Pacific region. New Zealand has been a leader in the organization. In 1971, New Zealand joined the other independent and self-governing states of the South Pacific to establish the South Pacific Forum (now known as the Pacific Islands Forum), which meets annually at the "heads of government" level.
Bilateral relations are excellent. The United States and New Zealand share common elements of history and culture and a commitment to democratic principles. Senior-level officials regularly consult with each on issues of mutual importance.
The United States established consular representation in New Zealand in 1839 to represent and protect American shipping and whaling interests. Since the United Kingdom was responsible for New Zealand's foreign affairs, direct U.S.-New Zealand diplomatic ties were not established until 1942, when the Japanese threat encouraged close U.S.-New Zealand cooperation in the Pacific campaign. During the war, more than 400,000 American military personnel were stationed in New Zealand to prepare for crucial battles such as Tarawa and Guadalcanal.
New Zealand's relationship with the United States in the post-World War II period was closely associated with the Australian, New Zealand, United States (ANZUS) security treaty of 1951, under which signatories agreed to consult in case of an attack in the Pacific and to "act to meet the common danger." During the postwar period, access to New Zealand ports by U.S. vessels contributed to the flexibility and effectiveness of U.S. naval forces in the Pacific.
Growing concern about nuclear testing in the South Pacific and arms control issues contributed to the 1984 election of a Labour government committed to barring nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered warships from New Zealand ports. The government's anti-nuclear policy proved incompatible with longstanding, worldwide U.S. policy of neither confirming nor denying the presence or absence of nuclear weapons onboard U.S. vessels.
Implementation of New Zealand's policy effectively prevented practical alliance cooperation under ANZUS, and after extensive efforts to resolve the issue proved unsuccessful, in August 1986 the United States suspended its ANZUS security obligations to New Zealand. Even after President Bush's 1991 announcement that U.S. surface ships do not normally carry nuclear weapons, New Zealand's legislation prohibiting visits of nuclear-powered ships continues to preclude a bilateral security alliance with the United States. The United States would welcome New Zealand's reassessment of its legislation to permit that country's return to full ANZUS cooperation.
Despite suspension of U.S. security obligations, the New Zealand Government has reaffirmed the importance it attaches to continued close political, economic, and social ties with the United States and Australia. New Zealand is an active member of the global coalition in the war against terrorism, and deployed SAS troops to Afghanistan and naval and air assets to the Persian Gulf. The United States is New Zealand's second-largest trading partner after Australia. Total bilateral trade for 2001 was $4.1 billion--with a $106 million surplus in favor of New Zealand--and U.S. merchandise exports to New Zealand were $2 billion. U.S. direct foreign investment in New Zealand (as of March 2001) totaled $3.1 billion, largely concentrated in manufacturing, forestry, telecommunications services, and finance.
New Zealand has worked closely with the United States to promote free trade in the WTO, the APEC group, and other multilateral fora.
The United States and New Zealand work together closely on scientific research in the Antarctic. Christchurch is the staging area for joint logistical support operations serving U.S. permanent bases at McMurdo Station and South Pole, and New Zealand's Scott base--located just three kilometers from McMurdo Station in the Ross Sea region.

Tob Sanyo Electric, Matsushita Green Innovation Enterprises In Transition – Sanyo Electric,
by ???
Tob Sanyo Electric, Matsushita Green Innovation Enterprises In Transition – Sanyo Electric,
Acquisition, triggered not only failed to calm the signs of the discussion, instead showing a "more hot" trend. Especially after the acquisition of the brand and Sanyo Electric
Coincidence whether to keep such business after the merger will win the maximization of synergies and other issues, the parties have become the focus of controversy.
However, on January 8 in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture at a press conference on
President Fumio Ohtsubo said with full confidence that by 2018 the 100 anniversary of the company's business, the Group operating income compared with March 2010 period (with Sanyo Electric) increase of 1.3 trillion yen to 10 trillion yen. Among them, solar cells, rechargeable batteries, the environment,
Related revenue will exceed the number of goods
Home Appliances
Manufacturing business to reach 3 trillion yen.
Ohtsubo, said: "The most immediate and relevant to people's lives, where to start, Panasonic is committed to creating a green (environmental) revolutionary pioneer."
Previously, the company announced the acquisition announcement, the subtitle is: "target into 2018
Industry, the world No.1 in the "Environmental Innovation Enterprise". " 2018 Panasonic Venture 100 anniversary of the first company to create an environment for global innovation enterprise. 2015 plan is to achieve this target, "an important part."
Have commented that the Panasonic's "completely changed" initiative, in fact, the field strength has greatly increased the number of appliances Korean camp (
, LG as the representative) weakness of means; on the other hand, it is hoped that through acquisition and integration of Sanyo Electric's solar cells, rechargeable batteries and other energy businesses, enhance the technical competitiveness, and thus the positive as much as possible to avoid conflict with opponents to seek a a global leader. However, solar cells and rechargeable batteries though is a new business, however, Japan
, Sony, Samsung, LG, etc., as well as China, the European giants have increased their investment in the context of Panasonic's goal of achieving global No.1 easier said than done?
The other hand, Sanyo among the world's first lithium-ion battery, up to 30% market share. Solar batteries, Sanyo also has called the world's highest level of photoelectric conversion technology. However, lithium-ion batteries, South Korea's Samsung and China's BYD, by the appreciation of the yen and other factors, growth far exceeds the Sanyo; and solar cells, China, Germany giants continue to force, and will yield highest in the world after Sanyo 4-bit out of the top 10, placing 11th.
Panasonic official said: "(environment and energy services) despite bearish market, but compared to more competitive household appliances, the receipts were more worth the wait." "The acquisition of Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. will make the environment and energy industry as a pillar industry strategy into reality. "the person said. He also stressed that Sanyo solar cell, rechargeable battery business in the future will strengthen cooperation with Panasonic and electricians, to play the industry to maximize synergies.
However, Sanyo's white goods business, and the fate of Sanyo brand, either Ohtsubo, Panasonic or other high-level, were not given a clear response. This also makes the Japanese in 2009 called the most influential TOB acquisition, cast a lingering shadow on a layer of the root causes.
Industry analysts said: "No matter how, in March 2009 and the Sanyo Electric of consolidated revenue reached 9.533 trillion yen, the scale of the new Panasonic has now become a national and Hitachi of Japan (in March 2009 on revenue up 10.3 trillion yen) side by side, engaged in home appliance manufacturing giant corporate hegemony. From that point, the new Panasonic 2018 growth environment for innovation in the global No.1 enterprise or non-empty talk. "

A 36-year-old Felton woman is facing DUI and child endangerment charges following a traffic stop in Harrington on Thursday.
Harrington Police Department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode said Helen M. Zerrad appeared to be under the influence of narcotics when officers stopped her vehicle on South Dupont Highway near the Midway Shopping Center.
Officers also found a unrestrained 13-year-old child laying on the floor in back seat of the vehicle, Brode said.
After performing field sobriety tests, Zerrad was taken to Milford Memorial Hospital for a blood test.
She is charged with driving under the influence, endangering the welfare of a child while driving under the influence, failure to provide proof of insurance, failure to obey a traffic device and failure to secure all passengers.
Zerrad later was released on a $1,701 unsecured bond.
