Sushilkumar Shinde inaugurated the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Civil Defence and Home Guards, here on Thursday and appreciated the achievements of the volunteers of these organizations during any kind of disaster whether natural or man made. He also said that the Civil Defence and Home Guards will always be the first responders in the disaster situation and thus required to play a proactive role in disaster management. Shinde said that the government has already brought about the change in the approach to disaster management from a relief centric approach to holistic approach covering the entire cycle from immediate relief to sustainable rehabilitation. "The Ministry of Home Affairs had constituted a Committee last year to carry out an in depth study to analyze the problem areas and suggest measures required to be taken to streamline the Home Guards Organisations." "The recommendations of the Committee have been received and are under consideration," the Home Minister added. Shinde further awarded Distinguished Service Medals to seven Civil Defence personnel and inaugurated the Website of National Disasters Response Force (NDRF) and Civil Defence. The Union Home Minister also launched new Logo of Civil Defence, Monogram of NDRF and a Souvenir of Civil Defence. The Vice Chairman of National Disaster Management Authority, M. Shashidhar Reddy and the Ministers of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Mullapally Ramachandran and RPN Singh also highlighted the role and contributions of Civil Defence and Home Guard on the occasion. Earlier in his Keynote address, Union Home Secretary, R. K. Singh said that Civil Defence is the only force in the world, which is truly democratic in its principle of being a specialized force of the people, by the people and for the people. Singh said that missionary zeal and enthusiasm of the volunteers of Civil Defence has made the government realize its potential and the massive role its members can play in the areas of disaster risk reduction, creating disaster resilient community and disaster response. He pointed out that the Directorate General of National Disaster Response Force and Civil Defence has successfully implemented a Rs. 100 crore scheme for Revamping of the Civil Defence setup in the country. "Encouraged by the response, the Government has also launched a Pilot Project of involving Civil Defence in the Internal Security." Director General, National Disaster Response Force and Civil Defence, P.M. Nair welcomed the guests and outlined the role of 'Brave and Blue' NDRF and Civil Defence personnel in disaster situations across the country.

Nathan Myhrvold's Intellectual Ventures will be laying off five percent of its workforce according to the Seattle Times.
Myhrvold recently implied that the reason pharmaceutical patents are accepted and software patents are not is that pharma patents have been around longer. More recently it has been reported that Intellectual Ventures (IV) is curtailing its patent acquisition program and seeking to raise more capital. Google declined to participate in further funding of the company.
Also in the news recently, large companies have been going toe to toe with IV, willing to expend significant resources when settling may have been easier. As has been widely reported, a dispute between Motorola and Intellectual Ventures just ended in a mistrial. And recently Intellectual Ventures successfully invalidated several Xilinx patents at the Patent Trials and Appeals Board in likely retaliation for Xilinx's preemptive declaratory action which it filed in the Northern District of California in 2011. So in standing toe-to-toe with Intellectual Ventures, Xilinx lost some patents in addition to substantial legal expenditures.
As principled industry legal resistance continues to mount, patent troll investment money dries up and Congress and the Supreme Court step in, IV layoff notices like these might become more frequent.

First look at shield's!!
Here is a sneak peek at some of the styles for the shields coming out for the new dlc, the style's are fresh and exciting and like most of you im looking forward to checking it out as soon as it becomes available.
The Last Laugh is a Player vs. Player (PvP) focused DLC Pack, but one major component is the addition of the all new weapon, Shield, which can be used in all areas of the game. Everyone who gets the DLC Pack (either in the Marketplace or with a Legendary Membership) will get access to Shield's whole new weapon tree and the chance to use these amazing new weapons. Bash your enemies into next week with brutal melee attacks, or throw your shield and knock them out from a distance!
One of the things we're really excited about is how free flowing the Shield weapon combos feel, allowing you to adjust your plan of attack on the fly. With Shield, you can throw down a finishing move at any point in your attack chain, and the number of attacks you've made up until that point determines which finisher you get. This means you can start off with a finisher (or, a melee hold) and hit someone good with a Spinning Backhand, but you can also choose to bash twice (melee tap), then hold, to perform a Leaping Stab. (Don't try that one at home. It's quite painful.)
Of course, tapping more before your finisher means a more powerful move, like the Overhead Plate Smash (four times) or the Handspring Kick (seven times), just to name a few. Stay unpredictable, adapt on the fly, and use your Shield to bring the pain when you're in the thick of the battle!
Now, it just wouldn't be a proper Shield if you couldn't stand back and throw it at the good guys. I mean, bad guys. Of course I meant bad guys. And, you know, you'd be a pretty silly hero if once you threw your Shield, it just bounced away and you lost it. That's why you can always count on your Shield to fly true to your target and then ricochet back to you. For added fun, it will hit anything in its path, too, so use your positioning to your advantage and aim wisely!
If you've been following Shield Week, you've seen quite a few of Shield's many new weapon styles, but just in case you haven't been, here's a few more!
As you can see the weapons tree looks exciting for a few roles especially for tanks and trollers, you can already see the vitalization and the cunning in there. So this is critical for anybody wanting to up their stats.

Cable Franchise - HTML version of PowerPoint presentation
Local Dial-up - HTML version of PowerPoint presentation
Background for Buncombe County Cable TV Franchise Renewal
20 July 2000
Ms. Wanda Green
Dear Wanda:
Thanks for the opportunity to share some thoughts with you about negotiating a strong cable TV franchise renewal. We learned a lot in the City of Asheville and Black Mountain franchise renewals. We are also members of the Alliance for Community Media, a national organization of local governments and PEG access centers based in Washington, D.C.
As Alliance members, we have access to some of the leading cable-franchise renewal experts, such as Joe Van Eaton and Susan Buske. I've also enclosed a recent copy of the ACM magazine, "Community Media Review."
I have divided my concerns and recommendations into three parts: 1. General Observations, 2. Economic Development, and 3. Community Development.
1. General Observations: As you know, cable companies are very adept negotiators, and they can be quite clever in taking advantage of municipalities which, for obvious reasons, cannot afford a resident expert on telecommunications law. As a result, I have too often witnessed local government officials relying on the technical expertise of the cable company staff, as if they were neutral, disinterested parties. Obviously, this gives the cable company a huge negotiating advantage over local governments.
This negotiating tactic is often observed when a cable official uses technical jargon to obfuscate or deflect a question. In the Asheville negotiations, for example, the cable manager often described the wonders of "fiber optics." Everything he said about the potential speed and capacity of fiber was true. What he didn't say, however, is that fiber's performance is based on the quality and capacity of the hardware hooked up to the fiber lines.
Cable companies typically deploy "state of the art" hardware in the flagship (big city) franchises, where they can get the highest return on investment. Meanwhile, they deploy older, lower-capacity hardware in their smaller franchises.
This is why, in the Asheville renewal, Intermedia limited the "state of the art" clause to "similar" Intermedia franchises, while specifically excluding their franchises in Gainesville, Ga. and Nashville, Tenn. (page 15, City Ordinance No. 2500).
The reason? The Nashville and Gainesville systems were re-built to a higher-standard "state of the art" speed and capacity, and Intermedia would not commit to making a similar investment in its Asheville system. Unfortunately, the City of Asheville did not contest this limited definition of "state of the art." This has serious economic development implications for our community (especially the business community), which I will discuss later.
Another general observation has to do with the length of the contract. As you may know, Intermedia originally proposed a 17-year contract with the city of Asheville. After we called attention to problems with the contract, including the contract length, the city re-opened negotiations and the company eventually offered a 12-year contract term.
Our consultants, Joe Van Eaton and Susan Buske, believe that any contract of more than 10 years is too long, given the rapid pace of change in the telecommunications industry. They currently are negotiating contracts in the 5-7 year range.
Another area in which the city caved into the cable company is in the Performance Penalty. Many local governments today are requiring a $1,000-a-day penalty if the operator is not complying with the contract. The city's penalty is only $150-a-day. This sum is simply inadequate given the deep pockets of most cable companies.
2. Economic Development: The cable business is no longer simply delivering TV channels into the home. Cable companies are gearing up to provide digital broadband services, thereby giving local phone monopolies some badly needed competition. As a result, forward-thinking communities are using their cable franchise renewals to ensure that cable companies do indeed compete with the local phone company.
However, cable companies are picking and choosing where to deploy their most advanced infrastructure. Obviously, most of their infrastructure investment will go to densely populated, urban communities, where cable companies can get the highest return on investment. Smaller and mid-size communities are at-risk for prolonged delays in the deployment of broadband infrastructure, unless pressure is applied in the renewal process to ensure that the company intends to serve the local business community.
In a May 1 op-ed in the Philaldephia Inquirer, public-interest telecom advocate Jeff Chester notes that Montgomery County, MD. and Portland, Oregon recently "negotiated franchise agreements with broadband network providers that contain important public-interest concessions. These include setting aside portions of the bandwidth for noncommercial use, securing support for community applications, and installing high-speed connections for civic organizations." (I've enclosed a copy of the op-ed.)
Indeed, we may want to use the Portland contract as a template for negotiations here in Buncombe County. That contract can be found online at <http://www.mhcrc.org/tcifran.htm>.
3. Community Development: Community education and community development are greatly enhanced with public access TV. Our community is home to several hundred non-profit organizations and agencies with important stories to tell.
Public access TV is a powerful resource for the local non-profit community. Public access allows local agencies and organizations to "tell their story," thereby raising public awareness and boosting fundraising and volunteer recruitment, especially among the region's increasingly youthful and active retired citizens.
Most of all, public access allows local non-profits to extend the reach of their community education efforts -- and, most importantly, to communicate with hard-to-reach citizens most in need of public health and social-service information.
Research shows that cable TV, despite its cost, is an "essential" service in many lower-income homes. Public access cable TV, therefore, is a powerful medium for reaching low-income citizens most in need of social services and public health information.
Without public access, local non-profit agencies and organizations would remain largely unknown and invisible to many citizens, especially those who do not read the local newspaper. It's important to remember that the Education Access and Government Access channels are not available to the non-profit community. Only local schools and colleges can use the E-channel, and only government agencies can use the G-channel.
It's true that, on occasion, programming which some viewers may consider controversial could appear on public access. Yet there are three basic mechanisms for protecting local governments and elected officials from complaints about such programming.
First, by granting oversight to a local non-profit agency, local governments can distance themselves from programming decisions.
Second, all producers of programming must sign a contract taking full responsibility and liability for content that may violate local, state or federal laws. (In almost 20 years of operation, public access TV in Austin, Texas had only one instance of a program that resulted in a possible violation. The producer -- not the public-access organization or the local government-- took full responsibility.)
Third, any programming that some viewers might find objectionable can always be scheduled in the middle of the night when most viewers are not watching.
Public access TV can also complement existing efforts to attract and create jobs related to the budding film and video industry in western North Carolina.
First, public access creates superb internship possibilities for film and video students in local schools and colleges. (Public access can also attract experienced volunteers, especially retired video professionals, to support video production programs in local schools.)
Second, public access creates work for local film and video-makers, as some larger non-profit organizations -- such as United Way agencies -- will hire professional videographers to produce their access programming.
Buncombe County has all the ingredients for a first-class public access operation, thereby providing a venue for the wealth of local talent and information resources that reside in our rich and diverse non-profit community. We envision a wide range of programming. Here are just a few of the likely sources:
Obviously, the list of likely contributors to public access programming in Buncombe County is too long to enumerate here. But you get the picture.
Schools, churches, parents, teachers and concerned citizens have long been concerned about the negative influence of violent and sensational TV piped into our homes from Hollywood and Madison Avenue. With public access TV, local citizens and non-profit groups can show our children that another world exists. It's the world of homegrown heroes and high-achievers, right in our own backyard!
In short, Buncombe County is well positioned to finish the job of creating public access TV, which the city began two years ago. If the county can negotiate annual operating funds for public access -- to supplement the $340,000 in equipment money secured by the city in 1998 -- the stage would be set for a countywide, public-access consortium.
Of course, the cable company will vigorously and cleverly resist any attempt to force them to give back money to the local community. Their primary tactic for avoiding these refunds is to create the illusion that any money for public access will be "passed through" in the form of a "tax" on cable TV subscribers.
Years ago, when cable rates were regulated, there was a grain of truth in this argument. But today, cable rates are completely unregulated -- and cable TV is a virtual monopoly. Therefore, cable companies are free to charge whatever the market will bear.
For example, if Buncombe County were to forego its franchise fee payments from the cable company (5 percent of gross revenue), would subscribers see a 5 percent reduction in their bills? Not likely.
Cable companies would simply pocket the additional 5 percent and continue to charge whatever they can get away with. [Note: Cable companies have sophisticated financial models showing how much they can charge before substantial numbers of subscribers start switching to satellite-dish options.]
Franchise fees, therefore, are simply the "cost of doing business." So too are funds negotiated for public access. Indeed, with local governments prohibited by federal law from collecting franchise fees in excess of 5 percent of gross revenues, the only other means of local compensation is funding for public access.
Local governments who do not negotiate substantial contributions to public access are, in effect, giving the cable monopoly a free ride. [see chart of recent franchise renewals.]
SUMMARY: We learned a lot from the City of Asheville's cable renewal negotiations with Intermedia two years ago, and from Black Mountain's franchise transfer last year. Please know that our community has a small but knowledgeable group of concerned citizens willing to help in the county's negotiations with Charter. We look forward to working with you.
From City of Asheville Ordinance #2500, July 1998 defining "State of the Art."
E. Internet Services. In the event that Franchisee elects to provide high speed Internet access services by cable modems in the City, then at such time that Franchisee begins to provide such Internet services to its subscribers on a commercial basis, Franchisee shall provide free Internet access service and a free cable modem to each school and public library located within the Franchise Area and which are passed by the activated feeder cable for as long as Franchisee decides, in its sole discretion, to continue to provide such Internet services to its Subscribers in the Franchise Area. Such Internet access service and modem shall be provided when Internet services to Franchisee's Subscribers become available in the Cable System node in which the school or public library is located and within thirty (30) days of a written request from the school or public library for such Internet access service and modem.
A. Requirements. The Franchisee shall offer Subscribers within the Franchise Area the same broad categories of video programming and similar capacity (including, but not limited to, facilities and equipment) for Cable Services, which are made available to either of the following:
1 . an average of at least three (3) other communities in North Carolina which have a Cable System franchise with the same or a comparable term (within three years, more or less), up to 5,000 Subscribers more or less than the existing number in Asheville, a similar number of cable plant miles, and similar or less stringent local laws, rules and regulations concerning the operation of a Cable System-, or
2. any other communities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and/or Tennessee which are served by a Cable System owned and operated by the Franchisee with the same or a comparable term (within three years, more or less), up to 5,000 Subscribers more or less than the existing number in Asheville, a similar number of cable plant miles, and similar or less stringent local laws, rules and regulations concerning the operation of a Cable System; provided, however, the City acknowledges that the Nashville, Tennessee Area, and Gainesville, Georgia, are served by Cable Systems owned and operated by Franchisee and each has a 750 MHz Cable System as of the effective date of this Franchise and that Franchisee shall not be obligated to rebuild the 550 MHz Cable System as described in Section 10 of the Franchise to a 750 MHz Cable System if those are the only communities which meet the criteria set forth herein above and have a 750 MHz Cable System during the term of this Franchise.
Outcomes of Recent Cable Franchise Renewals
-- Iowa City, Iowa (21,000 subs) receives $1.5 million over 10 years.
-- Mountain View, CA (16,000 subs) receives $2.6 million over 10 years.

Floyd Mayweather's charitable blitz continues. And it's a good bet little Austin York of Gardnerville, Nevada, an 11 month old baby who was born with a severe heart defect, and his family, are mighty glad the skilled boxer has been for the last few months very active in the giving arena.
Mayweather Promotions' David Levi alerted us to the good deed Mayweather did. I give him the floor for a spell.
I am Floyd's assistant. I left Floyd's training camp early to attend a Fight Night charity fundraiser put on by a University of Nevada, Las Vegas organization on March 15, 2012. I was coaching one of the fighters in the main event and was told the event was to raise money for a child's medical bills. The organization informed me that Austin York whom is under a year old has a rare heart abnormality and had a massive hospital bill from major surgeries he had underwent to save his life. I spoke with Floyd on the phone and told him about the child and everything he and his family had been dealing with. He responded: "Let them know I will take care of all the medical bills. I want to help him." The total of the medical bills that have piled up over the 10 months of Austin's life add up to a little more than $49,000.
Levi tells us that both the ventricles of little Austin's heart didn't function when he was born, on May 23, 2011. He had surgery in the first week of his life, and then another six months later. He had another surgery, to total three, not long after that.
Quite a bit of fighting that little guy has had to do. I can only imagine the worry his family has to deal with. Compound that with the panic that can come with crushing medical bills, well, you can bet that the York family, including parents Scott York and Meghan Adams, will be rooting hard for Floyd on May 5, when he meets Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas.
Yeah, that's a big fight, but can we all agree not nearly as big as the fight Austin York and family have been in this last year?
Good for floyd.good tax rewrite off too when you owe the man millions.
Dang! Hehehehe! Deepwater, sometimes it may be best to let the truth be surrounded by a bodyguard of lies. No matter how we spin it and the motive for it happening, Money May did a grand thing. The dude is paradox. No one can put his arse in a box. Much luv to him for his kind dealing outside da hurt bitnezz. Holla!
Regardless of the motivation on Floyds' part, I'm sure the York family is very happy. Good for Floyd and even better for them. Hope the little guy makes out ok.
And the biggest asshole around makes up for it by being super kind, well done MM
just awesome !! love to hear stories like this ....makes up for burning those bills for sure ....good man Floyd !!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

In case if I don't know the probabilities of accessing each element, but I'm sure that some elements will be accessed far more often then the others, I will use Splay tree. What should I use if I already know all the probabilities? I assume that there should be some data structure that is better than splay trees for this case.
I'm trying to imagine all the cases where and when should I use every type of the search trees. Maybe someone can post some links to articles about comparison of all the search trees, and similar structures?
EDIT I'd like to still have
O(log n) as the worst case, but in avarage it should be faster. Splay trees are good example, but I'd like to predefine the configuration of this tree.
For example, I have an array of elements to store
[a1, a2, .. an], and the probabilities for each element
[p1, p2, .. pn], which define how often I will access each element. I can create splay tree, add each element to the splay tree (
O(n log n)), and then access them with given probabilities to make the desired tree. So if I have probabilities
[1/2, 1/4, 1/4], I need to splay the first element, to make it be among the first. So, I need to order elements by probabilities, and splay them in the order from the lowest to the highest access probability. That takes
O(n log n) also. So, overall time of building such tree is
O(n log n) with a big constant. My goal is to lower this number.
I do not mind using something else, but not search tree, but I'd like for the time to be lower then in case of Splay tree. And I want search, insert and delete be in the range of
O(log n) amortized.

retired Wellington accountant Graham McCready state that
between November 2010 and November last year, Mr Brown
accepted a bribe for himself and his wife Shan Inglis when he
received three complimentary hotel rooms and five free room
upgrades from SkyCity and SkyCity Grand Hotels.
The gifts, worth about $4600 in total by Mr McCready's own
calculations, were "in return for favourable consideration"
given by Mr Brown towards SkyCity and parent company SkyCity
Casinos, according to the documents.
"He subsequently voted on matters relating to those entities
without disclosing the fact of the gifts in his register of
interests, or disqualifying himself," the documents say.
An EY (Ernst & Young) report published after revelations
of Mr Brown's two-year affair with aspiring politician Bevan
Chuang found the Mayor failed to declare $39,000 in free
hotel rooms and upgrades in total.
Mr Brown took three free hotel nights and five upgrades at
SkyCity hotels during the time he was championing the
pokies-for-convention-centre deal.
Mr McCready has laid the charges, which each carry a maximum
jail term of seven years, under a section of the Crimes Act
covering corruption and bribery of public officials.
Mr McCready told APNZ he was an independent party. He did not
live in Auckland, was not involved in the city's politics and
had not met Mr Brown.
Although the dollar amount of the alleged corruption was
small, important principles were at stake.
"We almost have a tradition of not charging public officials
high profile people. I'm sure if other people did similar
things they would be charged," he said.
A spokesman from Mr Brown's office said the Mayor was aware
of the matter but had no comment.
Auckland University legal academic Bill Hodge said he had
seen the charging documents and they were not a "not a
foolish endeavour".
Mr McCready appeared to have set out the prosecution under
the appropriate legislation, Associate Professor Hodge said.
Now it would likely head through an administrative stage,
where Mr Brown would be notified by the court and given the
chance to try to have it thrown out.
If the prosecution remained, a judge could then decide if it
was worthwhile proceeding through the courts.
Assoc Prof Hodge said if that happened Mr McCready might hope
a prosecuting agent, such as the Serious Fraud Office, would
take over what could be a costly exercise.
An SFO spokeswoman had no comment yesterday.
Mr McCready is known for his pursuit of public figures
through the courts and has a proven track record in bringing
successful prosecutions where others have failed.
In 2009 Mr McCready laid a prosecution against Labour MP
Trevor Mallard, who was found guilty of fighting in a public
place over a Beehive stoush with National MP Tau Henare.
More recently Mr McCready laid electoral fraud charges
against ACT leader John Banks, a prosecution since taken over
by the Solicitor-General. It will head to trial this year.
Mr McCready has also been in the dock himself, last year
admitting a charge of blackmail.

Thank goodness for this man - the fact is that he pursued
Banks when the authorities were either reluctant to do so, or
had other reasons not to do so. As it turns out Banks
is now facing trial when, if the proper investigative
authorities had their way, he wouldn't be.
Len Brown appears to have been found to have accepted
thousands of dollars worth of goods or services from a
company that wanted support from the Auckland City
Council. The record shows that Brown did not record his
conflict of interest and failed to declare receiving these
gifts. Should he get away with that? Obviously
not, and equally obviously he should be held to
account. If it wasn't for Mr McCready, I
doubt either the Police, the SFO or his own Council
would do anything.
Time after time we now see private citizens pursuing justice
at tremendous cost to themselves. That evil woman,
Helen Milner, nearly got away with murdering her husband but
for the efforts of her sister-in-law, who did the job of the
Police for them.
It is appalling that this should be the case, but until there
is a lot more opacity in the work of the authorities, the
work of the individual whistle-blowers and litigants will
continue to rise.
This man sues people at the drop of a hat, isn't it clogging
up the justice system?? He needs something to occupy
his time. How much tax payer money does he take up being
so litigious when the SFO takes over? Auckland voted in
Len Brown, I don't think they will again. Is this really for
the public good? Personally I think Len Brown should
have stood down if he had even a shred of integrity.
Sometimes the righteousity of some New Zealanders is too much
to bear. It smacks of cruelty. Move on with the
throwing stones.
He deserves those upgrades. He works for the city for a

During a rare sunny day off, Brian decided to take me out to Crescent Beach. Why Crescent Beach? Brian said he used to come here when he was younger – except when we got there, he realized it was the wrong beach or it had changed drastically since he was young. Who knows? Anyway, it was a nice walk, I didn't take any pictures although I brought my camera because it was low tide and I felt uninspired.
He wanted to grab lunch around the area and even researched a place beforehand (aww!) – Beecher Street Cafe.
Beecher's Cafe is a homely little cafe located within a handful of other restaurants on the same street. It's home to Murder Mystery dinners – I've been dying to do one! Maybe I might have to come back and check it out?
There was only one person working during lunch time and she was polite. She sat us near the window.
I ordered the Blackened Salmon Burger ($15.00)which comes with either soup or salad, so I chose the caesar salad. The caesar salad had a great dressing, possibly made in house – and if not, I'd like to know where I can buy me some! They also interestingly put a dash of balsamic vinegar on the top of it to give it a crisp-tartier kind of taste. There was also proscuitto crisped (although I didn't really enjoy it, I like my proscuitto as is though!) and this extremely long cheese stick.
My burger which had the regular lettuce tomato and onion on the bottom and garlic aioli mayo wasn't so bad. I did appreciate the sweet blackened parts of my salmon, but with most burgers, I always find they cook the salmon too much – which means, it becomes too dry. Here, it wasn't so much the dry part of the salmon, but moreso the taste of the salmon itself. It was very fishy for salmon. The garlic aioli and onion disguised most of that fishy taste, so it wasn't too bad.
Brian ordered the Curry Chicken bowl ($15.00) which consists of seven grain rice, apple chutney, snow peas and red and green peppers. Very healthy for someone like him! His dish was delicious, I really like how they used different grains in place of rice and how every grain sealed in the flavour of the curry. There was a LOT of peppers and a generous portion of chicken. I kind of wish I ordered this dish!
Although my burger was a bit fishy for my liking, I did enjoy my salad and the garlic aioli used. My husband's dish was also very delicious.
While this cafe is quaint, it's got this Hamptons kind of charm, being seaside.
While most places you go, you're looking to spend about 12-15 bucks on the same kind of dishes, I don't personally think it's worth it. I think the prices are a bit on the higher side and most likely that way because of Crescent Beach's 'tourist' allure.

I'm currently in the 2010-11 season with FC Utrecht, and I decided to see what sort of effect man city were having on the prem. The answer was: they weren't. 7th in the league and out of the FA Cup.
As the game drags on, do Man City actually buy all the talent in the world and just win everything, or does the game balance it out?

Monique Lhillier's Dolce gown was my dream dress. The perfect mix of romantic and modern, the lace on this dress is to die for and the tulle adds a layer of magic and whimsy. This is an heirloom piece with classic appeal.
Dolce was the first dress I tried on and I searched high and low, to no avail, to find something I loved as much that was less expensive. Monique Lhillier's quality cannot be beat. Now it can be yours for less than half the price!
I wore this dress for a few hours on my wedding day and then changed into a "get-away" gown. The dress is in good condition and was professionally altered from a label size 6 to my approximate street size of 2/4.
I will consider reasonable offers.

Cupcakes were the new cookies, then cake pops were the new cupcakes and now it seems like whoopie pies are the dessert du jour. Don't get us wrong, we love all these tasty trends, but we're running out of space for new gizmos like this Whoopie Pie Maker ($40) in our kitchen!
I bought one of these at Kohl's specifically for my grandma's bday party. We are throwing her a New England theme party (shes from Maine). I made a test batch of these and it works GREAT! The booklet says a teaspoon in the cake area but do more in the scoop, fyi. YUMMY!

Recently, we showed you how to prepare your business for the Florida hurricane season. To see those tips click here. What we didn't mention, however, was the role of window film in helping to prepare your business for storm season.
According to Jeffrey Plummer, senior vice president of Sales, Marketing, and Distribution at Madico – one of the world's leading manufacturers of laminating and coating solutions based in St. Petersburg, Florida – window film can provide an added measure of safety during a powerful storm in several ways. Properly installed, it can:
- Help hold glass in windows together and helping to prevent it from shattering;
- Help prevent potential physical harm to you and your employees;
- Help prevent high, destructive winds from entering your office space;
- Serve as a passive protection in the event hurricane approved shutters or other systems can't be installed prior to a storm.
Window film can provide additional benefits such as anti-intrusion protection. It can also help protect against damage and injury due to accidental glass breakage or shattering. Plus, it can have year-round solar control benefits, potentially cutting your energy costs.
Granted, window film by itself is not a solution for storm protection. Nor can it keep glass from breaking or guarantee that the window unit will remain intact. And it isn't a replacement for other storm protection measures such as shutters. For that reason, insurance companies won't give your business a "hurricane mitigation discount" if you use it.
However, window film is becoming an increasingly popular solution to mitigate the dangers of high-powered winds and one that your green business ought to learn more about.
For more information about the benefits of window film for both your business and your home, visit the Madico website by clicking here. Or call the company at 800-456-4331.

The Effects of Soy Isoflavones on the Breast, Prostate, and Bone
Isoflavones are a major class of plant estrogens, or phytoestrogens, and are found at high levels in soybeans. Extensive research on the potential health benefits of phytoestrogens has suggested a protective action of soy isoflavones against breast and prostate cancer, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and menopausal symptoms.
Despite these health claims, most of the dietary soy products and isoflavones have not undergone adequate human testing. The proposed research project seeks to establish the basic pathways and mechanisms of isoflavone actions that underlie the effects on the breast, prostate, and bone-loss.

Marijuana Coffee Shops in London?
There's no novelty of smoking a soggy joint in a park any more, my teenage years are behind me. Instead I left the park in search of somewhere far more interesting, a place I'd only heard rumors about, London's very own coffee shop.
Brixton Prison is Thunderdome: Prisoners Smoke Out, Guards Reek of Weed
The hooligans and petty thugs residing within the confines of London's Brixton prison are reportedly smoking so much marijuana throughout the facility that it has caused the guards' uniforms to reek of the reefer.

Monday's episode of RAW will be live from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas. With only three RAWs left until WrestleMania 30, the WWE will continue to push the top feuds and shape the rest of the PPV's undercard. This push toward WrestleMania begins with the top storyline of Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker. According to a March 17 report by Wrestlezone.com, The Undertaker is set to appear on RAW and continue his feud with his Brock Lesnar. However, Lesnar is not expected to be at RAW.
Last week on RAW, The Undertaker came out to the ring to cut a promo but was interrupted by Paul Heyman, Lesnar's manager. The WWE is teasing another potential encounter between the two.
Another major storyline advertised for tonight's RAW is how Triple H will address Daniel Bryan's "occupy RAW" movement from last week. Bryan and his followers occupied the ring and wouldn't let the show continue until HHH came out and listened to Bryan's demands. Ultimately, Daniel forced HHH to accept a match at WM 30 with the stipulation that if he won, HHH would put Bryan in the world title match at Mania. HHH promised on Friday's SmackDown that he will deal with Bryan tonight on RAW.
Also on last Friday's SmackDown, The Shield refused to help Kane during his match against The Big Show. For the first time, The Shield refused to do what The Authority has directed them to do. WWE is teasing a reprisal from Kane.
Other storylines expected to be addressed on the March 17 episode of RAW are:
- The feud between John Cena and Bray Wyatt
- The latest entrants into the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal
- What's next for Batista and Randy Orton
- The mounting tension between Cesaro and Jack Swagger
As of now, there are no official matches announced for RAW. The WWE is also expected to announce another inductee into the 2014 HOF class.
Are you readers excited about tonight's episode of RAW?

Sowing Seeds in Trays
Growing crops from seed is simple and economical, and sowing in trays is a good idea since trays are easy to clean and fit into propagators or on bright windowsills.
Step 1: Clean Used Seed Trays
Use hot water and detergent or soak in a sterilizing solution and rinse before you begin sowing. Fill a tray with multipurpose or seed compost, and use a second tray to gently firm it to remove air pockets.
Step 2: Scatter Seeds Evenly Over Compost
Pour seeds straight from the package or sprinkle them from the palm of your hand. Sow thinly to prevent waste and overcrowding, which results in spindly seedlings that are more prone to diseases.
Step 3: Lightly Cover Seeds With Sieved Compost
Label the tray with the plant name and date. Water gently with tap water using a fine rose to avoid disturbing the seeds; avoid stored rainwater which can cause damping off disease.
Step 4: Place Tray in Propagator
Place the tray in a propagator or cover it with clear plastic to create the warmth and humidity needed for germination. Keep in a light place, such as on a windowsill, but not in strong sun. Remove the cover as soon as seedlings emerge.
Step 5: Transplant Seedings
When the seedlings have a few leaves transplant them into seed trays or
small pots. To do this, water the seedlings, then hold a seed leaf and
loosen the roots with a dibber or pencil to gently tease each one from
the compost.
Step 6: Get Trays Or Pots Ready
Have ready seed trays or small pots filled with multipurpose compost,
then water and allow to drain. Dibble a hole in each compartment, insert
a seedling, and gently firm using the dibber. Water and label.
Step 7: Harden Off Seedlings
After a few weeks, harden off the seedlings by gradually exposing them
to the outdoor environment. Place them outside during the day and bring
them in at night, or place them in a cold frame and gradually increase
the ventilation.

WE, WIFE & I, started some of our vegetable seed indoors 2 weeks, I hung a grow light above the table our seedlings are doing great. We have a 3 bedroom home with only the 2 us in it. When we get thing planted we will post pictures. We have a very small yard but use Beds to grow things. We also made deals with neighbors who have bigger yards to help with gardens in their yards.Flag this Comment

Hunting Illustrated Fall 2002: Bombardier Quest 650
This machine takes you to the top of the mountain in a whole new fashion.
The Quest 650 from Bombardier
When you hear the word
"Bombardier" your first thought is probably not towards ATVs. Most people don't
even know how to pronounce it correctly. However, Bombardier (bomb-bar-dee-a) is a word
you will be hearing more about in the ATV industry and a company that many of you are
already familiar with whether you know it or not.
Bombardier has been making ATVs for a few years now, but has been an
industry leader when it comes to Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft, and even Learjet
aircraft. When Bombardier came on the ATV scene, they surprised many by their bold launch
of high-performance, big displacement engines. Early on they released a 500cc utility and
quickly introduced a 650cc utility ATV along with a 650cc sport ATV. Bombardier's growing
ATV lineup is going toe-to-toe with the bigger manufacturers.
We decided to complete our run of the big-bore 650-class utility ATVs
by including the Bombardier Quest 650. We wanted to give our readers the full scoop on all
of the big-bore ATVs. How does the Quest 650 stack up against this very competitive class
of ATVs? We took it through the Hunting Illustrated high country testing grounds to find
First Impressions
One look and you know this is not your conventional ATV. For many
people, you either like the looks or you don't. Bombardier is going a little different
route with some of their utility ATVs by including a semi step-through design. Normally
where the gas tank would reside is now open space. What does Bombardier hope to benefit
from this design? It will be easier to get on and off; it provides a small cargo space to
tie down a small jacket or bag; and has a lower center of gravity. Bombardier placed the
gas tank under the seat for increased stability and to keep all four tires on the ground.
Does this design work? Our test riders were mixed, but most preferred the conventional gas
tank or something similar in its place to use as a leverage for your legs when riding.
Most of the time when riding you don't notice that there is an open spot right in front of
you, but in most instances we didn't see much benefit.
Another design difference is the air-cooling fan. Normally located in
the front of the engine under the fender, the Quest 650 fan resides in the back of the ATV
under the rear rack and fender. This keeps the hot engine air away from the rider and also
frees up some room under the front rack. Due to this extra space up front, a surprisingly
large eight-gallon storage compartment holds quite a bit of stuff.
Sittin' in the saddle
Once you get the
looks out of the way, you wonder, "How does this really ride?" With a 650cc
powerplant, combined with bombardier's proven performance on their Rotax engine, you get
the feeling this machine can move. The looks might be a little deceiving but the engine
really smokes. The power does not come on very strong or overbearing at first, but once
the RPMs kick in, this ATV is fast. The mid and top end are probably the fastest in the
big-bore utility class. One of our test riders made one of the fastest times on our
4,000-foot ascension fire road. He made it to the top in 13 minutes. That's smokin'! He
may have made it from point A to point B in good time, but he quickly found out the rest
of the ATV is not quite up to par with the engine. The engine is powerful and fast, but
the suspension and handling are definitely for slower speeds. Quite a bit slower. The
suspension does not have adequate travel to really handle the 750-pound beast. Being the
heaviest ATV on the market, it shows its limitations on the trail. The rear suspension is
not bad, but the front suspension is too rough and all of the bumps go straight through
the handlebars and into your hands and arms. The front end handling also has a lot of play
in it, especially the faster you go.
After bringing these realities together, one might conclude there is
not much sport in this utility. Bombardier's focus with the Quest 650 is more for the
industrial market. They wanted to make this ATV fill the needs of the rancher and farmer.
By doing this they made a machine that is strong and powerful, yet stable and reliable.
The Quest 650 is great for towing and the front and rear racks are laid out excellent for
cargo. Bombardier also added a huge 5.8 gallon gas tank, the largest in the class, to
ensure you return from your ride in style. Also largest in class is the 400-watt
alternator, which is great for external hookups. The suspension travel is low and wide and
the solid rear axle provides great stability. With the proven Rotax engine, you know this
ATV will last longer than the farm tractor. To get you out of the sticky stuff, the Quest
650 is equipped with full-time all-wheel drive. As soon as there is slippage, the front
tires engage with full lock traction. This setup is nice for those who don't want to worry
about the nasty stuff, but we feel the better setup is to have the choice and to be able
to turn on or off the four-wheel drive. The "always on" setup also prevents you
from having a little fun that only two-wheel drive can offer.
What we think
Can this big-displacement engine compete with the flashy new Grizzly
660, Prairie 650, Sportsman 700 and the new Honda Rincon 650? Did Bombardier make their
Quest 650 too one-dimensional? After spending quite a bit of time in the saddle, in
various types of terrain, all of our testers agreed this ATV needs some definite
improvements if it is going to compete with the big boys. The Quest 650 may be $400 to
$800 less than the competitors, but $6,500 is still a lot to pay for a high-end utility
ATV. The Quest 650 may have some features that make it a great workhorse and there is no
doubt this would be the machine to haul an elk off the mountain, but the smoothness and
ride comfort are lacking. The suspension needs to be softened and the handling improved.
The engine braking is good and strong, but is jerky when letting off the gas. The shift
lever, which is positioned below the seat, needs to be higher for easier convenience and
to see what gear you are in. The lever also needs to be strengthened. It feels like you
could easily break the lever when the gears sometimes stick and is difficult to engage
into another gear.
Bombardier has some innovative and unique ideas. You have to hand it to them
for being bold and trying new things instead of following everyone else. They are
confident in their designs and different way of thinking to carve a niche out of the ATV
market for themselves. Bombardier has a great start in the game because of their engine
and reliability. This can be a good workhorse to use at the ranch at slower speeds, but
until they make improvements to the suspension and handling, the competition has the edge
when it comes to year-round, all terrain access and fun. We are anxious and looking
forward to see what Bombardier will do with this machine in the future.
Rider Notes
wide stance and stiffer suspension do give it a stable ride. The engine braking works well
to hold you back, but it feels like it down shifts when you let off the gas. Having a
selectable 4x4 or 4x2 would be nice. I do wish more machines would give you the storage
options like the Quest has under its front rack. I like how there is no override button to
push to get full power in reverse. I think for a machine this big it needs more low-end
power. I like the big heavy-duty racks.
I liked
the stability and rack capacity of this machine. Sometimes trying to reinvent the wheel
doesn't work and to me it doesn't work here. The big Rotax motor hauls, but it is a rough,
loud motor. There is no low-end to this motor. You could burn up a belt in high range if
the terrain gets too steep. I can race this machine hard and fast, but the ride requires a
visit to your dentist and chiropractor after each ride. Your hands will feel every bump
you hit. Good ideas on some features, but need to keep working on it.
I was
anxious to see for myself just what the Quest was all about. The step-through design
didn't affect me too much. It is a great workhorse and you can really load up the racks,
but I enjoy a little more sport capability when I ride. For the straight utility guy, this
could be a good choice. Add a softer ride and better handling and this ATV could really
shine because the engine likes to be ridden hard.
Quest 650
Good mid and top end, fastest in its class, good rack capacity and storage compartments
Suspension, handling, heavy, rough engine braking

Revised: 1 August 2011, last major update August 2011
Copyright: (c) 2002-2011, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Rare, chronic, papulosquamous dermatosis of unclear etiology
● Salmon-colored scaly patches, affecting elbows/knees or entire body, usually adults > age 40 years
● Accutane
Case reports
● 61 year old man (Dermatol Online J 2003;9:6)
Clinical description
● Salmon-colored scaly patches surrounding normal skin
● Divided into five types: classic adult, atypical adult, classic juvenile, circumscribed or atypical juvenile
Clinical images
Entire body affected except trunk
Various images
Micro description
● Biopsy from non-follicular lesion consists of alternating orthokeratosis and parakeratosis in both vertical and horizontal directions
● Focal or confluent hypergranulosis, thick suprapapillary plate, broad epidermal ridges, narrow dermal papillae and perivascular lymphocytic infiltrate in the superficial dermis
● Small numbers of plasma cells and eosinophils may be present
● Superficial blood vessels may appear slightly dilated
● Occasionally, mild spongiosis with scattered intraepidermal lymphocytes
● In early lesions, parakeratosis is poorly developed and lamellar ortho hyperkeratosis predominates; hypergranulosis is present and rete ridges are broadened and slightly elongated; the suprapapillary plate may be mildly thickened
Differential diagnosis
● Psoriasis: acanthosis is more marked, and often strikingly regular, rete are thin and often fused, supapapillary plate is thinned, parakeratosis is usually confluent and characteristic collections of neutrophils are seen in overlying parakeratotic stratum corneum associated with spongiform degeneration of the underlying superficial epidermis

Fitzgerald v. United States Lines Co.
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
Fitzgerald v. United States Lines Co., 374 U.S. 16 (1963)
Fitzgerald v. United States Lines Co.
No. 463
Argued April 18, 1963
Decided June 10, 1963
Claiming that he had twisted and strained his back while working for respondent on its ship, a seaman sued respondent for damages based on the negligence of respondent and the unseaworthiness of the ship and for a smaller amount based on respondent's failure to provide him with medical attention, maintenance and cure and wages. He demanded a jury trial on all the claims. The trial judge granted a jury trial on the Jones Act and unseaworthiness claims, but he held the question of recovery under maintenance and cure in abeyance to try himself after jury trial of the other issues. The jury returned a verdict for respondent on the negligence and unseaworthiness claims. After hearing testimony in addition to that presented to the jury, the judge awarded the seaman a small amount for maintenance and cure. Sitting en banc, the Court of Appeals affirmed by a divided vote.
Held: a maintenance and cure claim joined with a Jones Act claim must be submitted to the jury when both arise out of one set of facts. In this case, the seaman is entitled to a jury trial as of right on his maintenance and cure claim, even though the Jones Act claim was decided against him and this Court declined to review that claim on certiorari. Pp. 374 U. S. 16-22.
306 F.2d 461, reversed.

[ANNOUNCE] TopGit 0.9
Robin Green <greenrd <at> greenrd.org>
Hello, I'm pleased to announce that TopGit 0.9 was released today. TopGit aims to make handling of large amounts of interdependent topic branches easier. In fact, it is designed especially for the case where you maintain a queue of third-party patches on top of another (perhaps Git-controlled) project and want to easily organize, maintain and submit them - TopGit achieves that by keeping a separate topic branch for each patch and providing some tools to maintain the branches. After a long hiatus, TopGit has a new release, a new maintainer (me), and has moved to GitHub: https://github.com/greenrd/topgit (note that patches are still required to be signed off.) The 0.9 release is tagged and available for download at: https://github.com/greenrd/topgit/tags (Yes, I know GitHub's display of the tag description is terrible, but it shows up fine in git.) Because it's been 3 years since the last release, there are quite a few patches since 0.8, but most of them are quite minor changes. If you are upgrading from the HEAD of the old TopGit repository, all of and only the patches by me, Andrey Borzenkov and Heiko Hund are new compared to that revision. Patches can be submitted either to me, to this list, or to the GitHub issue tracker. There is also an IRC channel, #topgit on irc.freenode.net. Regards, Robin Green

Sunnyvale, Calif. (October 25, 2012) - Leading online game publisher GamesCampus ( www.GamesCampus.com), today unveiled a sneak peek of a huge game overhaul for their veteran title, Shot Online! Mixing professional golf with RPG and competitive mechanics, Shot Online brings the world of competitive sports straight to the user. With over eight years of golf action, Shot Online is receiving a shiny facelift to the user interface. Next week's update will be the biggest change in Shot Online's long history! Register or sign into your GamesCampus account and download the game at http://shotonline.gamescampus.com/
"After eight years, it was time to update even the most favorite, tried-and-true aspects of Shot Online, and that included a full modernization of the user interface," said Hubert Yee, Head of Marketing at GamesCampus. "Players will be amazed when they see how much has changed while still retaining the most important information at their fingertips!"
Shot Online will soon look like a brand new game – without having to re-learn how to play. The new UI tracks stats including Holes-In-One, Albatross, Eagles, Chip-Ins, accuracy, longest drive, and more. As players achieve titles through playing a variety of courses and holes, their portraits will change to reflect their veteran status. Choose the avatar that represents you best!
Course selection has also been streamlined considerably, with making or finding a room to play with friends much easier. Up for a surprise? Choose one of the "random" course selections to be placed on any Easy, Normal, or Hard course – or go for the ultimate lottery and choose the Total Random option for a chance to play ANY current Shot Online course. Options for each room or course have also been overhauled. Choosing a scoring system or whether to allow mulligans has been made quick and simple.
Chat functions have also seen a thorough redecorating. Now players can choose a font size, window size, adjust the window size and transparency, as well as improved copy and paste functions. Players can quickly scroll through the various chat options including public chat, private conversations, guild, students and more using alt and the left/right arrow keys.
All this and plenty more is coming to Shot Online next week; players are already discussing these exciting upcoming changes on both the Shot Online Facebook community at http://www.facebook.com/gcshotonline and on Twitter @ShotOnline, where you can quickly join in the conversation!
Shot Online isn't just an online sports game, but a highly accurate simulation, with deep role-playing elements. These RPG qualities are what make Shot Online the addictive game it is, with community interaction alongside character levels and enhancements. Offering realistic and rare items drawn from the lauded history of the professional sport of golf, practice can only make perfect!

Illegal dumping is the legacy of residents being allowed to contract their own disposal providers. At one time, 30 to 40 haulers operated in Reading, Pa.; today, fewer than 10 do. Photo: City of Reading, Pa.
Within a year, public works staff had analyzed the county's traffic needs for the next two decades, considering potential deficiencies related to new developments.
"We projected a $650 million shortfall over 20 years," says Gary Predoehl, transportation manager for the Pierce County Department of Public Works & Utilities. "That finally got the attention of the council," which, in the summer of 2005, directed the department to resubmit the program.
In February 2006 the county's planning commission unanimously recommended approval of the program, and in October the county council approved it by a 6-1 vote, setting an implementation date of Jan. 1, 2007.
"You need to understand the politics of your community and communicate how and why you are considering traffic impact fees," Predoehl explains. "Make the council your ally instead of constantly fighting with it about the issue."
To date, 46 major road projects totaling about $392 million have been implemented under the program, which is expected to generate $188 million by 2027.
High asphalt prices are making concrete overlays a reasonable alternative for road repairs.
Now that skyrocketing oil prices have nearly equalized the cost of both cement and asphalt, infrastructure managers are rethinking their approach to overlay projects.
The latest edition of the Guide to Concrete Overlay Solutions, published by the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center at Iowa State University, is expected to be released this month. The new edition expands on an edition released in January 2007, which outlines the key elements of six types of concrete overlays (both bonded and unbonded resurfacing of concrete, asphalt, and composite pavements).
The updated guide includes a flow chart of the overlays, which takes readers from the initial visual inspection all the way through construction. It is designed to help infrastructure managers in the process of choosing the best types of pavement for their individual projects.
"We want to show the cost-effectiveness of concrete overlays both in the medium term and long term," says R. Scott Haislip, director of streets and roads for the American Concrete Pavement Association, which distributes hard copies of the guide. "We've always been able to compete with asphalt on a life-cycle cost basis, but only now are we able to compete at first cost."

Printography: Tips for Hanging Pictures
I am honored to be sponsored by Printography today to share with you my Tips for Hanging Pictures. I received a beautiful bamboo mount 8X8 photo of my daughter the other day. I chose this picture because it sums up her age at this moment in time… mismatched clothes because she has to pick out her own, messy hair because she won't let me put it in pig tails anymore, and arms raised with a huge smile so happy for her new found independence. She's such a ham!
The Printography site is so easy to navigate and order. It only took a few minutes for me to place my order. When I received it, I was so excited, because the quality exceeded my expectations. Now until March 2nd, you can receive 15% off of your order by using the PROMO CODE: DIYINSPIRED!
Anyway, I wanted to create a photo gallery way of family photos. I did a black and white photo gallery and my new bamboo mounted photo of Mia is an awesome pop of color.
General Height Guidelines I have learned:
- For hanging photos above a couch, measure 10" above the back of the couch.
- For hanging photos on a hallway wall, measure up from the floor 5-6 feet.
- For hanging photos on a dining room or living room wall, measure up from the floor 4-4.5 feet.
My Tips for Hanging Pictures for a Home Gallery Wall:
- I decided to stick to three types of frames only: black, silver, and wood.
- I used mostly black and white photos because I thought it made it look more modern.
- I used a variety of frame sizes: 8X10, 5X7, 4X6
- I kept one vertical imaginary straight line all the way across the wall and placed the photos above or below the line.
- I used a photo mat for some of the photos which created a little more dimension.
- Social networking sites are a great resource to get family photos if your collection is lacking.
- Photo wall adhesive strips are DEFINITELY the way to go when hanging ANY picture frames. No holes!!! You can get them at several retail stores. It also makes it easier, because you don't have to worry about aligning a nail and frame hook.
- Lastly, arrange all of your photos and take pictures of them to help you choose the right arrangement.
Here is an example of my arrangements. I did this a few times until I was satisfied.
Here is the final one more time.
I hope you enjoyed my tips! Don't forget, you can receive 15% off of your order by using the PROMO CODE: DIYINSPIRED on Printography!
