An increasing number of engaged soap opera fans know that the daytime landscape is transforming day-by-day. Take, for instance, the evolving story-within-a-story on 'The Young and the Restless'. Yes, current and former fans are helping to write an entirely new script.
If it were 1974, YR would be a year into its run on CBS. The 'Big 3' networks, which also included ABC and NBC, would be controlling console televisions across the United States through a stack of afternoon soap operas that followed a slate of AM game shows.
A sizable number of stay-at-home parents, who weren't forced (or chose to) be employed, worked through their household tasks while watching fictional fare on a regular basis. Those were sometimes golden, though not always great, days in an era gone by.
Click ahead to 2014. Societal changes, that can be debated on other digital platforms, have created a different and drastically smaller broadcast television audience. For starters, many can (and do) opt to watch whatever favored show during other time-shifted portion of their day. But, this available high-tech option wasn't the problem modern soap opera formats initially faced.
The ungodly amount of cable channels available on every system served to slice the heart of daytime long before a social media storm formed. YR audience members, in particular, represent a 1970s'-style textbook case of people power taking to the streets. In this instance, most roadways exist in hyperspace.
Michael Muhney's removal from CBS' number 1 show last December created a reaction that no mood ring could survive. The difference between any beloved star's removal from a soap 40, 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, as compared to today, is the uncontrollable dynamic that connected fans are able to self-create. This previously non-existent factor enables viewers to bypass the traditional top-down media power structure if they so choose.
Facebook posts and shares, Tweets and retweets, along with Pinterest pictures, just to name three social media behemoths enable like-minded people to communicate with and naturally influence behavior on a wide scale. The unknowable strength of these rising numbers is being felt.
While many TV shows undergo cast changes, the unexpected loss of a well-liked daytime star often becomes a traumatic event for soap opera devotees. YR staffers were instructed to write beyond 'Adam Newman's' late-January disappearance. Meanwhile, Muhney's fans are jointly creating a parallel script on their social media screens. Their work has become more important, within that strong circle, than a CBS' show they now view as a distraction.
It seems hard to imagine how YR can recapture this media savvy segment of its audience, unless Muhney is somehow rehired for his old role. And all power to the brave actor who might try to replace him. Of course, millions are ready to type, or thumb-in, their treatment of whatever transpires.

Ahead of the UN commissioned International Holocaust Remembrance Day,
Jan 27th 2010, I would like to take the opportunity to highlight some
of Yad Vashem's activities and invite you take an active role in our
worldwide outreach efforts for the Shoah Victims' Names Recovery
Marking 65 years since the liberation of
Auschwitz, a new exhibition, entitled
Architecture of Murder: The
Auschwitz-Birkenau Blueprints will display original architectural
blueprints of Auschwitz-Birkenau, given to Yad Vashem for safekeeping
last summer by the German newspaper Bild. A traveling version of the
exhibition will open at the United Nations in New York in advance of
International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Now is the time to incorporate Names
Recovery efforts into your local Yom Hashoah commemoration events. We
invite you to visit our
community outreach guide for ideas and
resources on how to launch a Names Recovery Campaign in your
community. To order posters and additional promotional materials
please contact:
firstname.lastname@example.com To schedule a phone call with me
to discuss your ideas for implementation, send me an email with
several alternate dates and times that are convenient for you.
Veronica Zer (nee Rudas) last saw her
second cousin Lili Reiter in 1945 when she returned to Hungary after
surviving Auschwitz, where her mother and younger sister perished. The
two cousins, who had lost touch with one another soon after, when they
went their separate ways to rebuild their lives, were recently
reunited thanks to a Page of Testimony. The two cousins had an
emotional reunion in Israel where they visited Yad Vashem's Hall of
Remembrance and Valley of the Communities.
Click here to read the article.
In creating the permanent exhibition for the new Holocaust History
Museum, one of the many elements Yad Vashem sought to introduce was
the emphasis on the fate of the individual during the Holocaust.
Identifying the men, women and children who appear in the photographic
display restores names and identities to unknown faces, thereby
rescuing them from anonymity.
Visit a new online exhibit about
survivors and individuals who have come forward and identified
themselves, their relatives and acquaintances in the photographs on
With warmest regards from Jerusalem,

Next fall, a handful of campuses in Amarillo Independent School District will operate after-school programs.
On Monday, trustees for Amarillo ISD unanimously approved starting the "Extended Day Program" at Eastridge Elementary School, Lawndale Elementary School, Tradewind Elementary School, Wolflin Elementary School and Windsor Elementary School.
The program is only available to students attending those campuses, and principals will send letters home about registration.
The after-school program will be from 3 to 6 p.m. on school days. Each site will have a supervisor and one staff member for every 12 students.
Parents would pay a $50 registration fee and then $175 monthly for the first child and $85 monthly for each additional child. Registration begins this spring.
Many parents work until evening and need a safe place for their children after school, school board president Anette Carlisle said. The school district program would provide another option. At the same time, the program is expected to pay for itself through fees.
"I'm real thrilled about it," Carlisle said. "They work, and they need some quality child care."
Amarillo ISD would follow a number of other school districts throughout Texas that operate after-school programs. In considering an after-school program, a committee observed the "Extended School Day" program operated by Denton Independent School District, north of Dallas.
"Extended School Day" started in 2002 at one campus and has gradually expanded, said Steve Johnson, who oversees the program. Next year, the program will operate in all 18 elementary school campuses that will serve an estimated 950 students after school. The school district also will pilot a similar program for middle school students.
Johnson has to ensure that the program generates enough revenue to cover expenses, he said. The program combines educational activities with recreation. On "Fun Fridays," students might play softball or perform in a talent show.
A number of organizations have provided after-school programs at schools throughout Amarillo ISD, and about two years ago, Superintendent Rod Schroder asked Blanchard to develop standards for after-school care.
As she studied after-school care with a committee that included operators of nonprofit after-school programs, Blanchard learned that other school districts were running after-school programs.
"If we don't own it and we're not running it, we can't guarantee those standards are in place," Blanchard said.
The "Extended Day Program" aims to meet the academic needs of students and provide activities in a safe environment, Blanchard said. "As students are needing after-school help, our after-school staff can communicate with teachers," Blanchard said.
A grant from the Amarillo Area Foundation will provide scholarships for students who qualify for assistance, Blanchard said.
A number of parents at Lawndale Elementary School have expressed interest in an after-school program, especially after a state grant provided a program for a limited number of students considered at risk for dropping out of school, Lawndale principal Shirley Thomas said.
"They need a place for their kids," Thomas said.
About 50 students are signed up for the after-school program at Windsor next fall.
The "Extended Day Program" will create a closer relationship between what happens at school and in after-school care, Wolflin principal Tim White said. The program will allow students to get tutoring or to participate in a club. "It provides some instructional experiences for the kids that they may not get at a typical day care," White said.

Despite its high cost, many parents buy organic meat, produce and milk for their kids, convinced that food grown without pesticides is best. But a report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) concludes it's more important that children need to eat a wide variety of produce, whether organic or conventional. After an extensive analysis of scientific evidence regarding organic dairy products, produce, and meat, the AAP says that there is currently no direct evidence that eating an all-organic diet leads to better health or a lower risk of disease. But the organization also says that no large studies have been done to directly address the issue.
According to the AAP, while organic foods contain the same vitamins, minerals, proteins, antioxidants and other nutrients, they do have lower levels of pesticides. Organically raised animals are less like to be contaminated with drug-resistant bacteria as organic farming rules prohibit the use of antibiotics in many cases. No individual health benefit was found at all from purchasing organic milk, but the AAP emphasizes that all milk should be pasteurized to cut the risk of bacterial infections including salmonella, E. coli, listeria campylobacter and brucella.
The report was released at a news conference on October 22 at the AAP National Conference & Exhibition and was published in the November issue of Pediatrics. The AAP does state that buying meat from organic farms that don't use antibiotics for non-therapeutic uses could potentially reduce antibiotic resistance in bacteria that make people sick. The organization calls for well-designed, larger studies that directly measure environmental exposure to hormones such as estrogen at low levels to evaluate the impact of hormonal exposure of children through meat and milk.
In a news release from the AAP, Janet Silverstein, MD, FAAP, a member of the AAP Committee on Nutrition and one of the lead authors of the report—"Organic Foods: Health and Environmental Advantages and Disadvantages"—said, "What's most important is that children eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat or fat-free dairy products, whether those are conventional or organic foods. This type of diet has proven health benefits."
The AAP report also notes that parents may be motivated to select organic dairy, meat and produce based on larger environmental issues and human health concerns such as pollution and climate change.
In a consumer report on ABC News, Dr. Philip Landrigan, a pediatrician, epidemiologist and professor of preventive medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, said he agreed with the report's findings regarding the likely benefits of feeding kids organic foods. He wrote in an email, "Children who eat a largely organic diet have 90 percent lower levels of pesticides in their bodies than children who eat conventionally grown, or pesticide-treated, food."
According to the World Health Organization, unintentional poisonings kill up to 355,000 people worldwide annually, especially in settings where toxic chemicals may be released directly into air, water and soil from industry and unsustainable forms of agriculture.

Stephanie Kwolek begins the interview with a discussion of her early career at DuPont. She joined DuPont in 1946, the same year she earned her B.S. in chemistry at Carnegie-Mellon University. Kwolek spent much of her time working on polymers, including aliphatic and aromatic polyamides. She discusses her level of independence in the laboratory, as well as her relationship with her supervisors. Kwolek began work with 1,4-B and was able to get a high molecular weight polymer. It was eventually discovered that the polymer spun beautifully and was quite strong. This polymer became Kevlar. Kwolek describes industry competition, the testing and scale-up of Kevlar, and the problems of confidentiality. She further discusses the relationship between Kevlar and Paul Flory's theory of liquid polymer crystals. Kwolek concludes the interview with comments on her love of writing, her decision to leave DuPont, and the future of polymer research.

Bruins to Host No. 22 Bulldogs This Saturday . . .
The No. 11-ranked UCLA women's tennis team (4-2) has just one match scheduled this week, as the Bruins will host No. 22 Fresno State (1-0) this Saturday beginning at Noon. These two teams faced off at the Los Angeles Tennis Center last season, with the Bruins taking a narrow 4-3 victory. UCLA leads the all-time series 7-1. The Bulldogs received some bad news on Feb. 3, when they learned that No. 1 singles player Jelena Pandzic was ruled ineligible by the NCAA for her participation in a German tennis league. Pandzic won her match at No. 1 singles against the Bruins a year ago. Live stats for Saturday's match can be accessed at UCLA's Official Website: http://uclabruins.collegesports.com.
UCLA Returns From USTA/ITA National Team Indoors . . .
UCLA went 1-2 at last week's USTA/ITA National Team Indoors in Madison, Wisc. The Bruins were eliminated from the main draw following a 4-3 loss to No. 12 Miami in the first round. UCLA bounced back a day later however, defeating No. 16 Texas A&M, 4-3 in a consolation match. In their final match of the tournament, the Bruins were defeated by No. 3 Clemson, 4-3. The only Bruins singles player to go undefeated on the weekend was junior Laura Gordon, who won matches against Miami and Clemson. She did not play against Texas A&M.
Bruins Check in at No. 11 Nationally . . .
After suffering two losses at the USTA/ITA National Team Indoors last week, UCLA fell from No. 4 to No. 11 in this week's ITA Team Rankings released on Feb. 8. New team rankings will be released again on Feb. 15. Individually, Riza Zalameda is ranked No. 9 in singles and is followed by No. 20 Daniela Bercek, No. 122 Alex McGoodwin and No. 125 Elizabeth Lumpkin. In doubles, Bercek and Zalameda check in at No. 5. New individual rankings will not be released again until Feb. 22.
Zalameda Among Nation's Elite . . .
Not only does freshman Riza Zalameda lead the Bruins in singles victories with 16, she is one of just five players in the nation who are currently ranked in the top-10 in both the ITA Singles and Doubles Rankings. Ranked No. 9 in singles and No. 5 in doubles (W/Bercek), Zalameda is also one of only two freshmen on that list, joining Northwestern's Audra Cohen.
Briefly Looking Ahead . . .
Fresno State is the last non-conference opponent that the Bruins will face before getting into the heart of Pac-10 Conference play beginning with Arizona State on Feb. 18. The first Pac-10 counting match will not be until the Bruins travel up to Washington the weekend of Mar. 11 and 12. The only two non-conference matches left on the Bruins' schedule after this weekend will be meetings with Texas (Mar. 15) and Pepperdine (Apr. 14).
Head Coach Stella Sampras Webster . . .
Stella Sampras Webster is in her ninth season as head coach at UCLA, owning an overall record of 137-79 (.634). In her eight seasons in Westwood, the Bruins have finished in the top-10 at the NCAA Championships seven times, including a trip to the finals in 2004. As a player, Sampras Webster was a four-time All-American at UCLA from 1988-91, capturing the NCAA Doubles title (w/Allyson Cooper) as a freshman in 1988.

About Elyse:
Elyse Walker is boutique owner and stylist residing in Venice Beach. She enjoys early morning walks to recharge her creativity before heading to work in Pacific Palisades where she is the owner and head stylist of the eponymous Elyse Walker boutique. Elyse and her team have a deep passion for styling women in multi-functional pieces that make them look and feel their most confident.
What's hot right now?
Prints, color and dresses! This season is so bright and happy that the store feels like a candy shop. Whereas previous seasons were neon, this season is full of bold, bright primary colors like yellow, orange and green. There is really no color that doesn't work for spring. In my opinion Peter Pilotto is definitely the trendsetter of the season, his prints and use of color are unparalleled and the fit is perfect. Spring designs by Alexander McQueen and Bottega Veneta are also must haves.
What was the most fashionable thing you last bought?
A big fashion statement Tom Binns necklace, I wore it all over Paris Fashion Week. Any big chunky necklace purchase this season is a good one; plus it will make an old dress look like it's new.
What destination are you most looking forward to traveling to right now?
Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. My family has a home there and I love visiting when I need to relax and recharge. I walk for an hour and a half every morning and get my best inspiration for work and fashion while looking at the water and searching for whales. On my last trip, I came up with my next business venture which is to build my own RTW line of "must have" pieces that I hope will complete the perfect wardrobe.
What's on your style wish list?
A yellow or orange crocodile handbag. I'm still searching though I have my eyes on an orange J.Mendel bag or a neon yellow Proenza Schouler.
What's on heavy rotation in your wardrobe currently?
Anything from Helmut Lang, they do a great job with easy everyday pieces that you can throw on with jeans and still look put together. I also love all of my Isabel Marant booties. Again, easy and comfortable. Comfort always comes first for me when I'm in LA and NY. When I go to Paris though I must admit I often go for fashion over comfort and suffer in high heels.

Paul Brunton
E.P. Dutton & Co. INC
New York
This 1936 book is one of those which has become a classic I have to say that I started to read it a few years ago however I stopped because the author Paul Brunton kept talking about Atlantis so I shied away till know.
So here I have re approached this book in a different light and must say that I am enjoying the first few chapters. The list of characters who put on displays of mysticism or chicanery for the author are a colourful bunch who preform a series of trivial and unnecessary talents.
You never know when you will need to stick hatpins in your face to entertain guests or sacrifice the neighbors pet with your mind, very useful indeed! The book interestingly goes on to an interview on Islam with an Egyptian cleric who gives answers to common misconceptions of the faith.
The author then goes into a comparative study of Islam, Christianity and other faiths which has taken me on a journey I did not see coming. The authors words are well placed in a story that deals with the mystical world without challenging the reader into believing anything other than toleration of different faiths including the often misunderstood deities of Pharaonic Egypt.
Mr. Brunton visits and amply describes beautiful mosques and ancient temples who's walls are covered with images of ancient Pharaohs making offerings to animal headed gods. At the temple of Denderah the author heads to the roof to see the famous zodiac, the original now in the Louvre and in it finds tens of thousands of years in its conception. Then again are the authors "Atlantian's" who he credits for the original seed of this zodiac even claiming the starting date of the alignment of the zodiac was 90 000 years old.
Mr Brunton visits the ruins of Karnak and appears to misinterpret a scene on its walls to fit his beliefs but his night descriptions of the complex at karnak are challenging and fascinating.
The book ends with a message from an Adept(holy man) warning about the opening of ancient tombs and the wrath the spirits who are released from the tomb may have on modern society and modern man.
Mr. Brunton was an obviously colourful character who held a lot of ideas I might otherwise consider to be wacky but I finished this book with a respect for its eloquent author and his eccentric views.
I have felt that this was indeed a very interesting search in secret Egypt.

Cliff-Edge Forest Above Werfen. Near Eisriesenwelt Ice Caves, Austria. July 19, 2013. © Copyright 2013 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Forest trees and grassy meadow at the edge of a cliff above the town of Werfen, Austria
For looking to be such an astonishingly exposed location, this spot was actually quite easy to get to. Sorry if I disappoint anyone! ;-) Above the town of Werfen, Austria, not far from Salzburg, is a feature known as the Eisriesenwelt Ice Cave. It is a well-known and popular tourist destination, and since our "guides" (family members who live in Germany) suggested it, we went and joined the other tourists. Although this post isn't really about the ice cave, I'll at least mention that it is quite a spectacular thing to visit. The cave itself is quite something, but so is the process of getting to it. The cave is located very high up the face of a cliff above the Salzach River valley, in a place that you would hardly imagine would be accessible by normal folks. However, a combination of hiking, taking a ski-lift style tram, and then hiking some more, this time on a well-constructed trail across the face of the cliff, brings you to the entrance to the cave.
After we finished our tour of the cave we emerged into the sunlight to see that it was clouding up. As we hiked down to the upper tram station we began to hear some distant thunder. The moist atmosphere became thick, and although it was still mostly sunny in the valley below, many of the distant valleys and ridges were becoming partially obscured. At one point the trail followed the contour of a small gully and looped back away from the cliff edge, affording a view back across this bit of meadow and forest that ended abruptly at the edge of the void where the cliff dropped to the Salzach Valley below.

Aurora's landmark Paramount Theatre has started the ignition on Route 66 for a 9-week run through June 10, 2012.
The high-octane jukebox review about a gang of rowdy Chicago service station attendants who take an imaginary Chicago-to-L.A. road trip features 34 of the greatest "Rock 'n' Road" hits of the 20th century. You'll hear tunes like "Dead Man's Curve," "King of the Road," "Little Old Lady From Pasadena," "Beep Beep," "Six Days On The Road," "G.T.O"…..and it's all a lot of "Fun Fun Fun."
Four shows per week staged in the intimate 216-seat Copley Theatre at a ticket price of $29 makes Route 66 an accessible theater experience for multi-generational family groups. It's all a Baby Boomer can do not to burst into song along with these guys; let's face it, we remember all the lyrics!
Think Grease meets Pump Boys & Dinettes kickin' back with Forever Plaid and you've got the idea.
The talented cast of singer/musicians includes Dan Beno, Courtney Crouse, Robert Deason, Rusty Koenig, Adam Michaels and Doug Pawlik, directed and choreographed by Stacey Flaster, who's fresh off Paramount's hit run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat earlier this season.
Presentations on the order of Route 66 and Joseph have marked the year-long celebration of the 1888-seat venue's 80th anniversary season. The complex has staged 4 Broadway musicals along with a lineup of family-friendly entertainment, comedians, incredible tribute bands and a new Classic Movie Mondays series.
Located in the heart of downtown Aurora, the Paramount has been named "One of Chicago's Top 10 Attended Theatres" by the League of Chicago Theatres. The painstakingly refurbished Art Deco beauty is renowned for its period splendor and superb acoustics.
The Theatre continues to expand its artistic aspirations and reputation under the guidance of Executive Director Tim Rater, Artistic Director Jim Corti, a dedicated Board of Trustees and a devoted staff of live theater professionals, as well as support from The Paramount Arts Centre Endowment, American Airlines, the hometown Beacon News/Sun Publications and a grant from the Illinois Arts Council.

Judo Competition
This is a level 5 number link activity from the Figure It Out series. It relates to Stage 8 of the Number Framework.
AO elaboration and other teaching resources
add, subtract and multiply integers
Activities One and Two
For students who are not familiar with how negative numbers work, at least for addition and subtraction, a number line could be a good means of helping to develop their understanding.
Integers are also known as "signed" numbers, but notice the convention regarding the use of signs: a negative sign denotes a negative number, but the accepted assumption is that a number without a sign is a positive number.
The number line can help the students to see that:
i. addition usually means go to the right along the number line, for example, 2 + 5 = 7 (begin at 2, add 5, and you end up at 7). The same happens if you start on a negative number, for example, -6 + 9 = 3 (begin at -6, add 9, and you end up at 3).
ii. subtraction usually means to go left along the number line, for example, 7 – 3 = 4 (begin at 7, subtract 3, and you end up at 4). Another example would be 2 – 5 = -3 (begin at 2, subtract 5, and you end up at -3). A third example is -2 – 4 = -6 (begin at -2, subtract 4, and end up at -6).
Dealing with a negative means moving in the opposite direction. For example:
You need to emphasise the "0" point on a number line and the fact that a number and its opposite will always add up to 0. For example, 3 + -3 = 0, so 3 + -5 is 3 + -3 + -2, which is 0 + -2 or -2.
The students may be able to summarise all this along the following lines as a basis for tackling the judo competition tasks:
The other understanding required of students for these activities is what happens when integers are multiplied by other integers. This can be summarised as:
Note that only + x + and + x - are involved in this activity.
Answers to Activities
Activity One
1a. Jason 7, Emily -3, Ruth 8, Ben -6, Kate 7, Tom 11.
b. Strategies will vary. One strategy could be: "I added all the positives together, then added all the negatives together, and found the distance."
2a. Jason's, Emily's, and Kate's scores.
b. 17 points. (Tom has 11, and Ben is on -6).
3. -9
Activity Two
1a. Jason 12, Emily -34, Ruth 24, Ben 6, Kate 14, Tom 40.
b. 74
2a. 62
b. 86
Activity Three
1-3. Responses will vary. Teacher to check. A possible score sheet could be:
Jason: ippon, chui (24); Ruth: yuko, koka (9); Ben: waza-ari, shido (12); Kate: chui, koka (-3);
Tom: ippon, koka (33).
Score for the round: 75.
Total score: 86 + 75 = 161

If funding caps seem out of reach for you right now, make sure to at least pack away enough of your earnings to trigger so-called matching funds. These are free contributions employers make to 401(k) plans on employees' behalf, as long as those workers save a minimum amount. Generally, most companies require individuals to save 6 percent of their salary to receive matching funds, according to Profit Sharing/401(k) Council of America, or PSCA.
Employers are increasingly offering Roth 401(k) plans, a twist on the 401(k). With a Roth 401(k), contributions are made with pay that's already been taxed, so you won't be taxed at a later date. For this reason, experts say they're a good choice for employees with lower salaries or anyone else who expects to pay higher taxes in the future.
Make IRA contributions
When you fund an IRA, whether traditional or Roth, you aren't just putting money aside, you're capitalizing on a chance to let your assets grow without being eroded by taxes. With a traditional IRA, earnings grow tax-deferred, meaning you pay the folks at the IRS only when they're taken out, usually at retirement. Plus, depending on your income, you may also qualify to claim tax deductions for any contributions you made to the plan. A traditional IRA allows an annual contribution of up to $5,000 per person, or $6,000 for those over 50.
With a Roth IRA (contributions already taxed), you do not pay taxes on earnings. Because there's no required date to start taking withdrawals, you can fund a Roth for as long as you like. It can even be passed along to your heirs, untouched. That's not true with a traditional IRA or 401(k). To qualify for a Roth IRA in 2008, a married couple filing a joint return can not have income that exceeds $169,000. For a single person, the limits max out at $116,000.
Don't forget a nonworking spouse
A nonworking spouse is also eligible for an IRA and can add to your retirement bundle. "Opening an IRA for a nonworking spouse is good tax planning as well as retirement planning," says Dee Lee, a Certified Financial Planner. "Money in that IRA will compound tax-deferred."
"If this is in a Roth, it will
all be tax free forever," says Ed Slott, an
IRA expert and author of "Your Complete Retirement
Planning Road Map." For that reason, Slott
says, the Roth IRA wins hands-down when it
comes to picking an IRA for anyone, whether
they work or not.
Do your financial housekeeping each year
Reallocating your assets to stay on track may seem daunting. But if you don't tend to this financial housekeeping at least once a year, retirement funds may inevitably grow out of whack
You'll want to make sure that you own the right mix of stocks, bonds, mutual funds, cash and other assets to help meet your retirement goals. As the economy and your personal situation may very well change each year, you'll want to regularly assess your needs and strategy.

Bing is zinging us.
The Microsoft web search engine is taking full advantage of the calendar – April 1 of course being April Fool's Day.
According to Bing on April 1, if you typically like to peruse the news items and trending internet search phrases scrolling on the bottom of the Bing home page, today, being the day to pull a jokey witticism with complete immunity, you may see the following bits of phony-baloney news.
Under NASA Sun Landing:
Announcing its goal, NASA scientists conceded, "Obviously, it's harder to do in the dark, but it's far too hot during the day."
Under Yankees Moving:
The deal that would move the Yankees to Toronto is complete. "Jeter's retiring. I don't even like crack anymore," said Mayor Rob Ford. "I'll be the new shortstop."
Under I can see Wasilla, we are directed to a bogus news teaser that says Russia has annexed Alaska. For more on that:
April Fool's Day Alaska: Russia annexes Alaska, says April Fool's day news joke
Another bit of Bing News said that President Obama and Republican House Speaker John Boehner, who agree on very little, are being forced to share an office.
All of the above forged news items link to Bing results for April Fool's Day, letting us know we've been had.
This morning, I was making my way through a Tim Hortons, and after ordering my drive-thru coffee, drove up to the window. I had no cash on me, so I presented by credit card. Declined, said the young man working the window.
Speculating as to why but dismissing it as just some issue with their swiper, I handed over a different credit card. Declined again! I asked if something was wrong with their credit card machine.
"No it was working fine. The man before you just used his card in fact," came the reply.
So with equal parts embarrassment and anxiety, I offered my debit card, which also functions as credit. Now I know that there is money in my account. Writers don't get paid too robustly, but I have enough to float me a cup of Joe.
"I'm sorry – this was declined too," and then seconds later, "April Fools!"
Happy to get my coffee and to know that no identity thief has absconded with all my banking and credit card information, I sat down to write this article.
So let's hear from you. Were you taken in by any Bing news results today? Did a friend or coworker nail you with a prank? Leave your story below.

Thanis, a letter is fine, but you dont know if the GM will get it or address it. Call and schedule a meeting, it will make a bigger impact on the mgr and give you the chance to discuss the policy if it is one.
I'm pretty sure they don't have any legal right to ask, but they do have every right to know what is going on their property including someone carrying a weapon. They were likely trying to ensure that you were legal to carry which I believe is well within their right. If you don't like it don't shop there. I'm all for 2A and peoples right to carry, but I'm also for a private property owner / business owner to dictate what will take place on their property.
They can ASK for anything they want. Rather you show it to them or not is up to you. If you choose not to, they have every right to say "Hit the road buster."
For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
They can ask to see ID when you buy something on your credit card, they can ask for ID when you buy ammo, they can set their own policies the way they want, we do not have to like it, and if you do not agree with the policy, you find another place to shop/play.
Locally (five minutes from my work, 20 min from my home) a range makes you take a safety class before using their range, even if you can prove your a certified RSO (I am not but have shot there with one) and can prove it. Then, they give you an option, for $20 you can buy a card that says you went through that class and not have to do it for a year (or if you are a member you do not go through it but once). I do not shoot here, not because I do not agree with the class, but because I do not agree with a fee to buy a card so i can "pass go and collect 200". I go to another range where the range fees are nearly half but nearly an hour away from me.
Point it, complain with your money, if you do not like their policy, go elseware.

Two suggestions.
1. Find a new range that treats you better so you don't get bent out of shape over the questions they ask of you when entering their property with loaded weapons and lots of ammo.
or 2. Go to this range and store more often so that the folks will get to know you more and then the consersation will turn into, ahh heading to the range are you, well have a good day.
Like others have said, it is their property they can ask you anything they want to. No, you don't have to answer, but they don't have to let you enter their store or range either.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Seems like some people get wrapped around the axle over the smallest things.
In regards to the target issue, the range I use has the same policy: No Faces or likenesses. That's to prevent the yahoos from blasting away at Bin Ladens and Obamas and whomever else they think should be the target of the day. Anyone who thinks they need to take shots at Bin Laden are welcome to go take shots at the real thing. It's their policy--deal with it. Is it really that important that your target has a face on it? Really?
Nothing they asked was "intrusive" or a violation of personal privacy. I don't think they care what color your wife's underwear is or are trying to steal her identity via her library card. If I'm CC'ing (and they shouldn't even know) and they ask to see my CWFL, fine, here it is. Look, but don't touch, and no copies allowed. I carry my CWFL as proof to anybody that my weapon is legal.
As far as make, caliber, # of mags, whatever, maybe it's in the best interest of all parties to make sure you're leaving with exactly what you entered with; proof is established for both sides.
One must remember that businesses are private property--not public. County libraries are public, state parks are public; commercial businesses are not. Corporations are legal entities, just as you and I are. Businesses do have "rights." They do have the right to set the conditions of who and what is allowed to enter their properties and the conditions. We, as customers, have the right to enter or go elsewhere.
If you feel you're going to make some major point with Bass Pro or any other large nation-wide business by leaving, make sure you step aside quickly and get out of the way of the 100 people behind you that more than willing to enter. It's your choice to spend money in any business or not, and I can respect that. Exercise your rights to shop when and where you want as you see fit.

Manila Village Passes Unusual Ordinance
by Rathi Manohar on February 25, 2011 at 8:56 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
Ayala Alabang, a village in Manila, the Philippines has passed an unusual regulation in today's world, requiring a prescription to buy condoms and birth control pills.
The reason given by the village authorities was that it was regulation 'providing for the safety and protection of the unborn child.' The advertisement and promotion of contraceptives was also forbidden. Breaking this regulation would result in a fine of $115 and imprisonment of one to six months.
Advertisement'If you want to buy a condom, you need a prescription from a physician with the name of the doctor and the patient on it,' said attorney Luis Sison, village spokesman.
Already there have been questions raised over a proposed law that would enable the government to be responsible for family planning. This has provoked a negative reaction from the Catholic Church that is against any form of artificial contraception and government action to enforce it. This attitude is in spite of the fact that the current population is 94 million, with the growth rate being one of the fastest in this part of the world, at 2 per cent every year.
The village ordinance coming at this point of time would make the matter of family planning more controversial in this populous nation.

Why is the set $\{ x \mid x = x\} $ not defined?
Since, $x=x$ is always true, the set is actually "the set of everything".
But why is it illegal to be defined as a set?

ZFC has no method of set construction that allows us to construct the set of all sets with a given property. If it did, we could define $\{ x | x \notin x\}$, the set of all sets that don't contain themselves, and we would have Russell's paradox; that set would have to both contain and not contain itself.
Instead, ZFC has the axiom schema of restricted comprehension. For any set $S$ and predicate $p$, we can define
$$\{ x \in S \mid p(x)\}$$
the set of all elements of $S$ such that $p$ holds for those elements. We have to restrict the scope to elements of another set; we can't perform a set comprehension over all sets.
While it is quite possibly to prove that this collection is not a set via Russell's paradox, here's an easier conclusion from the axiom of regularity (and pairing).
Suppose $A=\{x\mid x=x\}$ is a set, then in particular $A=A$ so $A\in A$. However this is a contradiction to the axiom of regularity, since now $\{A\}$ is a set and $A\cap\{A\}\neq\varnothing$ contrary to the requirement that $\in$ is well-founded.
Using the axioms of ZFC, you can't prove the existence of it because is a proper class (using the NBG terminology).
Because there is no pre-existing set that it is a subset of. To construct a set from a predicate we require the axiom of comprehension/specfication.
