The U.S. Army disqualifies 588 soldiers in a shocking move and the case highlights the growing need for better monitoring of the reports of sexual assault violations. As reported by USA TODAY on Feb. 26, the 588 soldiers who were disqualified were mostly members in "positions of trust" like counselors and recruiters. TIME reports that the infractions ranged from sexual assault to child abuse to drunken driving.
The news of 588 disqualified soldiers is especially troubling because the number is much higher than previous reports from the Army indicated. The initial number the Army reported last summer after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ordered that troops in sensitive positions be screened for previous criminal or unethical behavior was around 10 times lower.
"The numbers are staggering," Rep. Jackie Speier, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said. "I also want to applaud the leadership in the Department of Defense for scrubbing what has been a cancerous culture."

Last year, the U.S. military suspended 55 soldiers from their duties as directors in matters of sexual assault after discovering they had committed crimes related to alcohol abuse and children also, the Pentagon reported.
The soldiers were identified during a review of the records of the directors in cases of sexual assault ordered by the Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, after a Pentagon report released in May revealed that more than 26 thousand soldiers experienced an episode of "unwanted sexual contact" in 2012.
Although the Army disqualifies 588 soldiers, the Defense Department has stepped up efforts to prosecute those responsible for such crimes, establishing a special victims unit to handle cases and working to improve monitoring and reporting of violations.
According to recent statistics, from Oct. 2012 until June 2013 there have been a recorded 3,553 cases of sexual abuse compared to 2,434 during the same period last year, representing an increase of 46 percent. However, it's not clear if the increase reflects growth in the number of attacks or those who report cases of abuse. Representatives of the Department of Defense suggest that the increasing numbers is a sign that people have lost their fear to report these cases.
"We will continue working to better ensure we select the very best people for these posts, and that the chain of command knows what is expected of them, and how important this work is to the Army," Army spokesman Col. David Patterson expressed.
Although the U.S. Army disqualifies these 588 soldiers for some pretty serious reasons, military officials insist that the Army is making strong efforts to curb sexual assaults in the military.

|Launching a new strategy to support Tutor/Mentor Connection
Within the next 12 months Bassill seeks to
form a new governing board of volunteers and re-incorporate the
Tutor/Mentor Connection as a non-profit organization serving the Chicago
region. At the same time, through the Tutor/Mentor Institute LLC,
Bassill hopes to help other cities form structures similar to the T/MC
to help build a more even distribution of non-school tutor/mentor
programs in those places.

|Mayor Emanuel Shares Chicago 2011 Transition Plan
I wrote about the plan at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicago-2011-and-beyond-are-you.html and invited people in Chicago, the Chicago suburbs and surrounding states to use this week's Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference as a place to meet and begin discussing the plan. We still have space if you'd like to register today or tomorrow. See http://www.tutormentorconference.org
been collecting and sharing information related to the well-being of
youth and families in the Chicago region for many years. The
Tutor/Mentor Connection offers a strategy that might lead to more people
looking at this information, building their own understanding, and
becoming personally involved. While we have very little public
visibility, imagine if the Mayor were creating videos like this one to
invite people to look at his plan, and the ideas we and others share on
our own web sites. See this at
Imagine if several hundred programs in the
Chicago region were connecting youth and volunteers in this same type of
strategy. The ideas we share on our web sites, and at the May and
November conferences, are intended to stimulate the growth of this type
of volunteer involvement. There's still time to send a
representative, even from the Mayor's office.

|Life is a journey. Detours happen.
by Daniel F. Bassill
Since 1975 I've led a volunteer-based tutor/mentor program connecting inner-city youth with adult volunteers. More than 5,000 volunteers have connected with a similar number of Cabrini-Green area youth over those years. I'm still connected to the first boy I mentored and to many other kids and volunteers who have joined this journey. I've been rewarded by all of the things I've learned and all of the love that has been shared.
I never did this on my
own. I've had mentors and people helping me since the beginning.
One of the best advise I ever received was from an executive at the
Montgomery Ward company where the original tutor/mentor program was
created. He said back in 1976, "You obviously don't know much about
leading a tutor/mentor program. Why not find people in the city who lead
programs and invite them to come to lunch so you can learn from them."
There have been some bumps along the road. In 1990 I was given one-day to clean out my office at Montgomery Ward as a new advertising executive decided I was not needed. This led me and the volunteers leading the Montgomery Ward/Cabrini Green Tutoring Program to convert the company program into a non profit Cabrini Green Tutoring Program Inc, which enabled us to raise money so I could continue my 17 years leadership, but in a paid role instead of as a volunteer.
In October 1992 the board of the Cabrini Green Tutoring Program gave me one afternoon to clear out my office since we could not agree on a way to operate the program. (I had recruited these people to form a board in 1990 when I left Wards.) This led to the formation of Cabrini Connections and the Tutor/Mentor Connection with the help of six other volunteers from the original program.
Now change is taking
place again. The Board at Cabrini Connections has decided to no
longer support the Tutor/Mentor Connection strategy for a variety of
reasons, primarily the difficulty in finding money to operate the
organization. Read more
The Tutor/Mentor Connection is part of a two part non-profit. Learn about the T/MC 4-part strategy at http://tinyurl.com/TMC-4-Part-Strategy.
The Tutor/Mentor Connection is now organized by Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, which is not a 501-c-3 non profit, but a social enterprise that seeks to generate revenue from multiple sources including fees and sponsorships for conferences and training events, and an annual Chicagoland Tutor/Mentor Volunteer Recruitment campaign.

As you peruse this forecast, you may notice the lack of any reference to any clouds and precipitation! This is one of the drier predictions for Houston that I have ever made, brought about by an upper air alignment featuring a persistent upper low or trough in New England, and a ridge complex setting up from California into the lower Great Plains. This configuration looks to persist until March 19, when a fairly vigorous trough and storm may bring much needed showers and thunderstorms to Texas and the rest of the eastern two-thirds of the nation. Until that time, a cool and dry air mass will give way to warmer (and eventually) more moist regime this coming weekend.

Where you may find isopods
I wrote about Porcellio spinicornis, an isopod I photographed and collected in my sister's backyard in Montreal last month. S.P. Hatchett (Biology of the Isopoda of Michigan. Ecologocal Monographs, 17: 48-79, 1947.) gave some rather unusual habitats where he had collected this species in Michigan:
P. spinicornis has been collected in places usually not considered desirable situations for isopods. It has been taken in the attics of two abandoned farm houses...[it] was once taken from a concrete window sill on the third story of the Natural Science Building on the campus of the University of Michigan. It has also been collected along the walls of basements and in a store in Ann Arbor.
He ties the occurrence of P. spinicornis on building walls to the preference of the animal for habitats high in calcium carbonate.

Album Summary
- Valentin Erben (Cello)
- Isabel Charisius (Viola)
Notes & Reviews:
The aesthetic and stylistic connections between Brahms and Schoenberg are brought to light on this recording from the Ysaÿe Quartet. Composed in the summer of 1875, Brahms' String Quartet No.3 would be his last. Written 24 years later, Schoenberg's string sextet Verklärte Nacht, inspired by Richard Dehmel's poem of the same name, derives its stylistic lineage from German late-Romanticism. Like his teacher Zemlinsky, Schoenberg was influenced by both Brahms and Wagner and sought to combine the former's structural logic with the latter's harmonic language. For the sextet, the Ysaÿe Quartet is joined by violist Isabel Charisius and cellist Valentin Erben.
American Record Guide, May/June 2013
The Ysaye Quartet is an exceptional group, well equipped to play the Brahms with elan and complete confidence. It is a wonderful and lucid performance. In the Schoenberg they are joined by Isabel Charisius and Valentin Erben, both former members of the Alban Berg Quartet. This performance too has a clarity and lucidity about it. The playing in both pieces, though, is exemplary, and the release easily falls on the recommended list.

Dr. Loren Buck
Associate Professor
Research Interests
Dr. Loren Buck conducts research on the physiological ecology of high-latitude vertebrates. Buck's research group is interested in elucidating impacts of changing environmental conditions on the behavior and physiology (reproductive, metabolic, stress) of both marine and terrestrial organisms.
Current Projects
Research projects in Buck's laboratory address the mechanistic linkages whereby fluctuations in the environment impact the physiology and ultimate fitness of the individual. Although focused on the individual, these data allow for extrapolation to the population. Potential REU student projects could easily link into ongoing research focused on organismal physiology of Arctic ground squirrels and stickleback fish. Projects would likely incorporate a combination of field and laboratory approaches. Projects investigating hibernation in Arctic ground squirrels will primarily be conducted from NSF's Toolik Lake Field Station on Alaska's North Slope.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (AP) — The Washington Transportation Department says road crews expect to reopen the North Cascades Highway this week.
Spokesman Jeff Adamson says the day may be announced later Monday.
Crews started clearing winter snow from the section of Highway 20 on April 11.
The opening is later than usual this year because of the heavy snowpack.
Last year the North Cascades Highway opened on April 16. It was closed by snow on Dec. 1.

Madras Christian College is a wonderful Institution. However, only very little has come from this institution in regards to paintings and drawings for art purposes. Several in the Science programs at MCC learn geometry, light/color theory and draw for their studies, if this can be extended to arts, there exists a great potential with several benefits. This is just a personal opinion and with hope that at least a few interested alumni will pursue fine arts no matter how late in life.

Get ready for a flavor experience you'll never forget. These brownies are incredibly rich, but the tartness that the cranberries bring add an extra dimension that cuts through the sweetness. And wine. Who doesn't love the wine and chocolate combination?
For the Brownies
1/4 cup red wine (I used Cabernet Sauvignon)
4 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup dried cranberries
For the Wine Glaze
2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons red wine
1 teaspoon confectioner's sugar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a small pot over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth.
Add the wine and whisk until fully incorporated and remove the pot from the heat.
Add the eggs and whisk to combine.
Add the sugar until well mixed.
Add the flour and cocoa powder and stir until smooth.
Fold in the cranberries
Transfer the batter into an 8x8 inch tin foil lined baking pan that has been greased and place it into the oven for 25 minutes.
While the brownies are baking, melt together the semi sweet chocolate and butter for the glaze. Once melted, whisk in the wine and sugar and set aside.
When the brownies are done, let them cool.
Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the brownies.

Youngsters in profile
by Stuart Vose
We profile the three new call-ups in Paolo Di Canio's squad this afternoon.
Scott Harrison
Hailing from Middlesbrough, the centre-back was signed from Darlington earlier this season following a successful trial.
He made 10 senior appearances for the Quakers in 2011-12 under the guidance of Craig Liddle, who is now on the Academy staff on Wearside.
Harrison has been a regular in the development squad this season.
Adam Mitchell
The speedy youngster (pictured) can play either on the wing or up front and is a product of Sunderland's Academy system.
After playing for the under-18s while still at school, Mitchell then completed a two-year scholarship and has been a regular in the second string for each of the last two seasons.
David Ferguson
David joined the club in summer 2012, completing a dream move to the team he has supported all his life.
Like team-mate Harrison, he began his career at Darlington, making six senior appearances last season.
The left-back has been a regular in the development side this season.

I need help with project concept
Sorry to post across the userlists. I'm using Subversion, Ant, and Anthill OS to automate my projects. We release many products in different projects. Currently I have set up a property sheet in Anthill for each project's build.xml and everything works fine. However, many of the projects create a .jar file which is used or needed by other projects. I tell my build.xml file in each project where to get the compiled jar files. With so many jar files being copied all over and our projects growing larger and larger daily, I was asked to create my own top parallel project and call all the build files from my master proj and make this project the exchange folder for all the jar files or any other artifact. It's a cleaner way, of course and more contained but it entails more work on my part. I've got my master build file to work, running at the cmnd prompt, however, Anthill does not like it when you tell a build file to check out other top level project files from the repo. Should I create dummy project files in Anthill just to check out the other projects and then let my build file take control? Somebody please give me guidance on the big picture. Is this a good idea to have a master and separate build project aware of all the other projects and but the other projects not being aware of it? How do I bypass the Anthill's shortcoming? By switching to CruiseControl? Are there or do you have any examples I could see please? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

The Asian film market is widely known for their martial arts epics, but every so often they step outside the box to blend something more to this genre and creates something special. When Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame hit in 2010 it brought together the martial arts epic period piece and blended it with the hint of Sherlock Holmes and fantasy to create something great. Now they are returning to the Dee character but this time to see how it all began in the prequel Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon, but does it capture the same magic and awe of the original?
Young Detective Dee: Rise of the Sea Dragon follows Dee's very first case, investigating reports of a sea monster terrorizing the town, reveals a sinister conspiracy of treachery and betrayal, leading to the highest reaches of the Imperial family. At first this one is a bit hard to get into as it just doesn't pack the initial punch as the original film. Thankfully as it moves forward it starts to find its footing and includes a more classic monster tale to the story making for a uniquely different film. There seems to be a slower build to the story than the first one, but the addition of the creature feature story makes it work. The visuals are as amazing as ever, creating a beautifully stunning period look to the time. The film was clearly shot for 3D which makes some of the CGI look a bit off in standard format, but it's only really noticeable in the opening and a few other moments in the film. Beyond these moments the effects are well done and make for a fun film. The lead doesn't have the same command of the screen as previous star Andy Lau, but still manages to bring something great to the character. The story is sometimes slow paced as it tries to keep the mystery building, but most of it is out of necessity. Have no fear as there is plenty of martial arts action to break it up from time to time to keep viewers intrigued. Thankfully for the most part they used practical make-up effects to bring this creature to life. They did a good design that not only works with the story they are telling, but also doesn't come off cheesy.
While this isn't the follow-up some may have wanted, it does offer a fun addition to the legend of Dee and where it all began. Hopefully this will not be the last we see of the character either in this version or the previous because there is so much they could do with this character and franchise.

Erm. . .
Is there any legal way to buy Sam and Max anymore, besides through the adventure volume (72$! AAA!)? I even looked on ebay - only Mac versions and PC version dealers who only sell to the UK!
This is my first time here, please don't hurt me or get mad at me for supporting lucasarts adventure games.
It's available at the company store as part of the adventure collection, which is 30 bucks. If you don't have DOTT or FOA it's a great deal.
And I've seen the U.S. PC version on eBay many times. I just checked and saw a few.
I don't have any of those! (New Adventure Fan) Thanks!:)
Just to save you some time when you realize these games don't work on your computer. You'll most certainly need SCUMMVM to play these game on any relatively new system.
I have another computer running Windows 95. Will they work on it?
It's old - 266 mhz.
yea it will. they used to work on my old computer, very much like that one.
are you using this old computer presently?
Because if you are thats got to be a bit of a pain.
you dont need scummvm for sam and amx
play it the way its meant to be played with the updated .exe :)
Windows 95 will likely run these games fine, but if they don't or if you want to run it on a new computer, SCUMMVM is what you want. Also, as has been pointed out, the new EXE (available at this site) will play Sam & Max flawlessly, and you may end up having to use that since I've had trouble with Sam & Max even with 95. Good luck!

Thanks again for the help Udvarnoky.
I got one but its not working right now so I have to just use scuimmvm which works great anyway.
TheMadDoofer, were you able to order the compilation? LucasArts just took it down from the store and I'm curious as to whether or not you were able to get it.
the link for the bundle with dott just redirects me to their main store :(
I hadn't ordered it yet, but now I know no to. :mad:
Stupid Lucasarts - I have to try ebay.

Chatel Ski Resort
The ResortChatel is a genuine French mountain village that's grown from its farming heritage into a charming, picture postcard ski resort.
The village is full of traditional alpine chalets and surrounded by pine trees, benefiting for being on the south facing slope at the top of the Abondance valley ensuring great views of the surrounding mountains and plenty of winter sunshine. Although not a ski in/out resort this slight drawback is more than made up for by the stunning location and ambiance of the village. Most people agree that the short transfer back to the village is well worth the effort because it enables you get to spend the rest of the day enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The village possesses a top selection of traditional French restaurants, a diverse range of bars with a great après ski atmosphere and live music nights, plus a late night bowling alley.
Of course all of your shopping needs are catered for too, plenty of ski shops, a range of souvenir shops, plus a selection of specialty food shops so you can stock up on Savoyarde sausages & cheese. All within strolling distance of our ski chalet.
If you wish learn more about the traditions and culture of the village there are regular events organized throughout the week by the Chatel tourist office.
The SkiingChatel is positioned on the border of France / Switzerland and surrounded by the Portes du Soleil ski area, one of the largest linked ski domains in Europe. Comprising of 12 resorts on either side of the border, you can ski between the resorts of Avoriaz, Morzine, Les Gets, Morgins, Champéry and more. Check out our Chatel skiing review for a detailed description of the local skiing. All the while taking in the fantastic mountain vistas, from the local ranges of the Dents du Midi & Dents Blanches, views down across to Lake Geneva and further to the south the majestic summit of Mont Blanc.

|Climbed the Weissmies starting from the Almagellerhütte and descending to Weissmieshütte. No visibility on the way up due to snow and wind so did not propably take the most convenient way up and climbed on the rocks instead. Due to same reasons there was no trail down the normal route which cost me a lot of time navigating solo through crevasses of the steeper slopes.
A beautiful mountain when I got to view it from the Lagginhorn the next day!

|An interesting easy glaciar excursion... my first big glaciar crossing in the summer time. (seems about the same as in winter, on skis, except more crevass fall danger) A complete circus. I counted 25 people before us on the summit and more than 50 after... everybody started at exactly the same time so it meant a constant line of leap-frogging all the way up. Not recommended, at least on a weekend. Weekday or offseason - something to avoid the crowds - and would be a great easy peak.

Earlier this year I wrote that Ann Arbor needs grace. So how do we further show grace in 2014? One of the most prolific ways to spread grace is to acknowledge people. In Matthew 9 there is a powerful story of a woman encountering Jesus.
The Gospel is full of stories of Jesus' interaction with women for good measure. According to the culture and partly due to the law, a rabbi, a religious leader, a priest was not to speak with women according to religious matters. Many of the men considered it too hard for a woman to understand, and they would be shunned, even more it was deemed unacceptable for a woman who was created to be second in nature, to lead those who were first made in God's image.
Jesus though continually invests in women as leaders, people like Mary Magadelene (who was not a prostitute according to the Gospel story) but was afflicted was renewed, and able to contribute to the finances of the disciples, and followed Jesus during his preaching tour and was the first to recognize Him alive. Further, in John 4 Jesus uses a Samaritan woman to reach her entire town with the Gospel. These actions are scandalous in the eyes of first century religious and political leaders, and even in some circles today.
But back to the crux of Matthew 9, a woman is deemed unclean because she has been bleeding for years. This woman is unclean which means she may not touch anyone without also making them unclean. Think on that for a moment, this woman has been without touch for most of her adult life for fear of an abstract noun like "unclean." Yet she is searching for Jesus. She wants to see Him. She touches Jesus. When she does she is healed.
In the midst of the crowd clamoring for Jesus' attention a woman grabs hold of the hem of his clothes and finds healing, and then tries to slip away. Jesus, doesn't let it happen, and wants to know who touched Him. For fear the woman does not speak at first, afraid of the law, afraid of Jesus reaction because of course he is as we would call it today "religious." She has been burned, stunned and hurt by these people before, will Jesus be the same? But he does turn around, and looks at her. Jesus tells this woman, "Take heart, your faith has healed you." Jesus does not meet her with critique or distaste. He meets her with love, and care. Ann Arbor asks us will we be the same? Will we be like Jesus, or the religious elite?
This however is the approach that many of us have forgotten. We come to church and go home. We may even bring our children to youth group when there is nothing better going on. We sit back and criticize our church, our leaders, our neighbors and especially the "unclean." But do we we ever turn and acknowledge that they are a person made in the image of God as well? Are we excluding others without ever turning to realize who it is that we have ignored and ostracized?
In our lives it is easy to notice that there are many people looking for a community. People are desperate for friendships, for someone to walk through this life with. Even more many of them may not look like us, act like us, or believe like us. But instead of noticing they are unclean will you turn around this year and help them take heart?
As we face 2014, let's drop the rejection and our self-righteousness. Church is not where people should face rejection and hatred, they should meet God's acceptance and approval through each of us. As Paul says we are Christ's ambassadors, and God is making His appeal through us. Ann Arbor will know God through how we respond. In 2014 I pray the church repents, that is turns around and sees the faces of the many people we have left outside.

To the editor:
As a new resident of Brunswick County (and retired teacher), I can't tell you how dismayed I was to read of the local school board's recent actions against our lawfully elected American president's speech to motivate our children. He is a fine man and good role model.
My grandchildren will be attending these schools and in no way do I want them to learn fear, disrespect of authority, anti-patriotism or racism. What kind of reflection is this kind of attitude on this fine county?
Is Jesus God?
Heb. 4:15 says, "For we do not have a High Priest (Jesus) who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin."
God's word describes man and his spiritual condition in Romans 3:23: "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"; Romans 3:24 "being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus."
What is wrong with this scenario? North Carolina is billions in debt. Gov. Bev Perdue borrows education lottery funds to meet state obligations. Education funding is cut to schools and people are laid off. The state has to pass a tax increase to keep from going bankrupt. North Carolina awards $400,000 to Shallotte to build a park.
If Shallotte gets $400,000, and other municipalities across the state also receive their version of pork, some people are lying about the dire conditions facing the state, don't y'all think?
Carolina Shores encompasses six communities: Carolina Shores proper, The Farm, Village at Calabash, Calabash Lakes, Beacon Townes and Lighthouse Cove. It is a growing town and has needs for more services.
With the upcoming election, we have the ability to improve our town government and move forward with our needs
As a member of the board of directors of Communities in Schools (CIS) of Brunswick County, I am taking this opportunity to share with you the importance of supporting this organization.
CIS believes every young person needs and deserves a one-on-one ongoing relationship with a caring adult, a safe place to learn and grow, a marketable skill to use upon graduating, a chance to give back to their peers and to the community and have a healthy start and a healthy future.
Re: Brunswick Beacon's food columnist Norm Harding's column on "scrapple."
I loved your article on scrapple! I was born in Philly back in 1944 and can remember to this day my Sunday breakfast. Even though my mom and dad moved me to Alexandria, Va., when I was 2 years old, we continued to travel back to Philly for all holidays and the summer months (I got to stay with my Auntie Em) until I was 12 years old.
God bless those who fought for the freedoms I enjoy: freedom of speech, the right to bear arms and freedom of religion.
I am free to choose the politicians I "like" based on the policies they support and how they represent my ideals as a citizen living in a democratic society.
As a mother of two children, I have the right to raise them based on my beliefs and morals. If I believe public education is inadequate, I have the right to enroll my children in private schools or I can choose to home school.
It's almost time. The election at Carolina Shores takes place shortly. The chipmunks, Chip and Dale, are doing their thing, making noise running around and confusing motion with action. They are busy gathering their nuts around them preparing for what I hope will be a long, cold winter.
To the editor: According to another local newspaper, there was an exchange of e-mails pertaining to the recent address given by President Obama to students across our nation.
The content of the e-mails revealed our school board is populated by some narrow-minded, ill-informed ideologues. They also seem ignorant of the rules they are supposed to operate under as elected officials.
Maybe they believe rules aren't meant for them.
To the editor: When we have elected officials who openly say they don't like the president of the United States, even though he has done nothing to them, or making a speech to advise children to stay in school and do their best no matter what happens, I think this person should not be on a public school board that looks out for the good of all schoolchildren, no matter who they are.

Game of Thrones promises a wild rideTV and Radio Box Seat
Game of Thrones: Season Three
If the last season felt like a set-up, then the highly anticipated season three is the payoff we've all been waiting for.PT6M11S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2gy3t 620 349 March 29, 2013
The snowy vistas; the muddy muck. The knights; the whores. The beards; the boobs. The little boy - whoosh! - out the window in episode one. Game of Thrones took my breath away when it arrived in 2011. It was a sprawling million-dollar medieval epic with production values that made Mad Men look like a backyard YouTube video and a cavalier attitude towards its characters that made The Wire look like Sesame Street.
I had no idea who anyone was and it didn't matter. It was riveting. And I soon figured it out. Seven houses, all vying for the Iron Throne and the chance to rule over the seven kingdoms. Quite simple when you boil it down.
Daenerys Targaryen continues to be one of television's most awe-inspiring heroines.
If you haven't seen the show since season two aired on television, I advise you to do some revision before you settle in for season three, which begins on Monday, or you'll be bewildered all over again.
Daddy issues ... Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister is, as ever, a highlight of the show.
Did you remember, for instance, that the treacherous toerag Theon Greyjoy, after sacking the castle of the Starks - the people who had raised him and given him a home - had been captured? I mean, kudos to his captors, but WTF?
There is plenty more in this vein. Why did Catelyn let the Kingslayer go? How did Daenerys get a ship?
Creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss have their work cut out for them adapting George R. R. Martin's lengthy novels into a series of 10 hour-long episodes. This story may be riven with swords and castles and magic and battles but more than anything it is driven by characters and their flaws. Even with the constant deaths (don't get too attached to anyone!), the tapestry of players is always growing. So it's not surprising that Benioff and Weiss have decided to cleave Martin's third book, A Storm of Swords, in two: season three is the first half; season four will be the second.
Beauty and the meek ... Has Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) met his match with Margaery (Natalie Dormer)?
After the thrills of season one, the second seemed a little workmanlike: it had to follow the characters we knew, while putting faces to those that had previously only been talked about. It sometimes felt like the whole season was a mere set-up for the next.
Season three picks up exactly where the second left off: with the sinister White Walkers stalking the Night's Watch in the snowy north. Dumpy old Samwell Tarly (John Bradley-West) is in their sights. Lovely Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) meanwhile, is mingling with giants after Ygritte (Rose Leslie) has taken him to the Wildling camp.
Of the characters introduced in season two, one of the most exciting is Margaery (Natalie Dormer). There is a feeling that in her Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) may have met his match. Part of that is wishful thinking, but it's not so far-fetched: although Joffrey is cruel there has never been any suggestion that he is also smart. There is no doubt at all that Margaery, as well as being ambitious, is a very bright woman.
Game of Thrones season 3
Game of Thrones season 3 screen shot.
In a field of fine actors, Charles Dance continues to run rings around everyone as the ruthless Lannister patriarch Tywin. Peter Dinklage as his son, Tyrion, and Michelle Fairley as Catelyn Stark are not far behind. Catelyn's grief at the news that her young sons are believed to be dead is palpable.
As the strong, beautiful and fair mother of dragons Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) continues to be one of television's most awe-inspiring heroines. Now that she has some literal fire power the odds of her sitting on the Iron Throne suddenly got a lot shorter.
Among the newcomers, Diana Rigg is captivating as Margaery's plain speaking grandmother, Olenna, and Ciarin Hinds is commanding (as ever) as Wildling leader Mance Ryder. Australian Noah Taylor turns up to do some damage as the sadistic Locke.
The show's very first shocking moment came at the end of the first episode of season one. The third makes us wait a little longer but it's no less brutal. The conclusion to episode four is as thrilling as episode three's is chilling. Buckle up; it's going to be a wild ride.
Game of Thrones season 3 premieres on Showcase, express from the US, on 1 April.

This show could have been good if they actually showed the battles rather than sit around and talk about them, but then again with the lame choreography in the sword fights that they did show it was probably best they didn't try and show a major battle, 'Blackwater' was a terrible attempt.

The books don't focus on the battles either, it's all about the characters, their motives, flaws and deceptions. Personally I find it enthralling after the usual blood and guts that's usual for TV, it engages the brain as well as the emotions.
Can't wait for season three!

First of all, showing long battle scenes in a 1 hour long episode would mean that there's not mcuh time for character or story development.
Secondly, extended battle scenes are really expensive to produce, and don't really add much to the story.
Finally, the 'Blackwater' episode was actually one of the best of the season and it was directed by George R.R. Martin (you know, that guy who actually wrote the books).
Oh and the books are not really about the battles, they're more about the politics and character development.
If you want mindless battles with little to no story line or character development, then you're watching the wrong show.

Budget stops the big battles being shown. The really amazing thing about this is that despite operating on a limited budget, they produce a show with "production values that made Mad Men look like a backyard YouTube video"

Troll. Do you actually know how much it would cost to shoot battle scenes? The seasons would last one episode.

Erroneous information on hemorrhagic stroke from The New York Times
The New York Times is a well-respected publication, and its readers expect accurate information from both the publication and its associated web content. So I was stunned to read not only incorrect but potentially dangerous information in the New York Times Hemorrhagic Stroke In-depth Prevention Report, part of the Times Health Guide. A large section of the report was devoted to anti-platelet and anti-coagulant medications, when these drugs do not prevent hemorrhagic strokes – in fact, they have the opposite effect; they increase the risk of death from hemorrhagic stroke. The information on anti-coagulants in the NYT report refer only to ischemic stroke, not hemorrhagic stroke. Anticoagulants should not have been mentioned here, unless as something to avoid. In fact, prior aspirin use has furthermore been cited as a predictor of death from hemorrhagic stroke.[1] Also, any anti-platelet or anti-coagulant medication (not only aspirin) will carry a risk of bleeding, and therefore is not an appropriate preventive measure for hemorrhagic stroke.
The report also failed to communicate the fact that ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke do not share the same risk factors. Although high blood pressure is the foremost risk factor for both ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, other common risk factors for ischemic stroke are not risk factors for hemorrhagic stroke – especially high LDL cholesterol. In fact, studies have found that low saturated fat and animal protein intake and low serum cholesterol, which would reduce risk of heart attacks and ischemic stroke, are associated with increased risk for hemorrhagic stroke.[2] Although the report mentioned that statin use may increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke, it failed to explain that low cholesterol does not protect against hemorrhagic stroke, and may increase one's risk of hemmorhagic stroke, especially in the presence of high blood pressure.
For prevention of hemorrhagic stroke, keeping blood pressure in a safe range is of paramount importance. This is especially important for those who already are eating athero-protective diets, rich in whole plant foods and minimizing animal products and processed foods to reduce risk of heart disease, ischemic stroke and cancer. A health-promoting diet, salt restriction, and exercise – not anti-coagulant medications – should be emphasized, as lifestyle strategies to maintain favorable blood pressure reduce the risk of hemorrhagic stroke.
I hope that my comments will prompt The New York Times to revise and correct its report on hemorrhagic stroke prevention.

Uprooted Iraqis' suffering continues
March 20, 2010 by Kate Adams
"Visit an Iraqi refugee family and they will show you the photos of murdered relatives and recount tales of threats, car bombings, kidnappings and ransoms, and scars on their children. They were attacked because of their religious beliefs or education level or job history or for collaborating with Americans. Their suffering continues."- IRC board member Morton Abramowitz and IRC president George Rupp in an opinion piece published in the Huffington Post this week.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, South Pittsburg, TN's population fell by more than 300 in the most recent census report, and that number has officials with the city eyeing a voluntary recount.
According to the census, the town's population dropped from 3,295 in 2000 to 2,992 in 2010.
Mayor Mike Killian said he recently reviewed the state's census maps for redrawing the four City Commission districts and "it doesn't look like there will be major changes."
However, officials worry the census numbers are incorrect, which could cost the town valuable funding.
In a recent interview with the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Mayor Killian said, "We need to review those census numbers. If we have to, we need to get a volunteer brigade going, and we may need to recount this town. In my mind, I felt like they undercounted us by 200 to 300 people. When you're undercounted by nearly 10 percent, it can affect your funding."
The town gets $104 "per person, per year" in federal and state funding, according to City Administrator Bently Thomas.
Officials say if the count is off by 300 residents, for example, the town would lose $31,200.
Killian says at least one error does exist…the census didn't list any residents on the block across the street from city hall.
"I know at least six people that are living there, and I can name them," he said. "So if there's a difference between six and zero in one block, we could have some variances."
According to officials, the town could ask volunteers to count residents block by block.
"It might not be such a major thing, but I think we owe it to our people, to ourselves, and to this government to maybe make a recount," Killian told the Free Press.

Read Movie Reviews about Grand Illusion (La grande illusion) Write a Movie Review for Grand Illusion (La grande illusion)
Release Date: 2012-05-11 (NY)
Genre: Drama, War
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 54min
Jean Gabin (Marechal), Pierre Fresnay (Capt. de Boeldieu), Erich von Stroheim (Von Rauffenstein), Marcel Dello (Rosenthal), Dita Patio (Elsa), Julien Carette (Car¬tier), Gaston Modot (Surveyor), Georges Peclet (Soldier), Edouard Daste (Teacher), Sylvain Itkine (Demolder), Jacques Becker (English Officer). One of the undeniably great films in the history of cinema, Jean Renoir's GRAND ILLUSION is a comment on the bor¬ders that divide people, classes, armies, and countries. The film opens during WW I, as Marechal (Jean Gabin) and Boeldieu (Pierre Fresnay) are shot down by German ace Von Rauffenstein (Erich von Stroheim). The two survive the crash and are invited to lunch by Rauffenstein before ground troops arrive to cart the French officers off to a POW camp. Although Marechal and Boeldieu are compa¬triots, the latter has more in common with Von Rauffenstein, both of them being members of the white-gloved aristocracy. After lunch the Frenchmen are placed in barracks, where French officer Rosenthal (Marcel Dello), a Jew, befriends them, along with several British officers who have also been taken prisoner. The newcomers join the others in working on an escape tunnel beneath the barracks, but a French victory on the Western Front is a sign that the war is turning against the Germans, and Marechal, Boeldieu, and the rest of the French prisoners are transferred to another prison, where they are reunited with Von Rauffenstein. Now confined to a neck brace after sustaining an injury in combat, the Commandant warmly welcomes the Frenchmen, pointing out that his prison, Wintersbom, is escape-proof. He treats his prisoners with great deference, having them to dinner and extending what meager courtesies he can, talking with Boeildieu about how this war will bring to an end the gentlemanly class of officers, dispensing with the honor and dignity of their rank and bloodlines. Caught someplace in between his loyalty to a member of his class (Von Rauffenstein) and to his country, Boeldieu once again agrees to assist his fellow prisoners in their escape attempts. Directed with patience and care by Renoir, the film was banned in Ger¬many by Nazi Propaganda Minister Josef Goebbels, who labeled it "Cinematographic Enemy No. 1" and compelled his Italian counterpart to have the film banned in that coun¬try, although the 1937 Venice Film Festival gave the film a "Best Artistic Ensemble" award. It was thought that all European prints of the film were destroyed by the Nazis, but American troops uncovered a negative in Munich in 1945 (preserved, strangely, by the Germans themselves), leading to the edited film's reconstruction. Gabin, Fresnay, Dalio, and Stroheim all give impressive performances in this beautifully directed and written film.

Inspirational Poems for New Year's
It's time to find inspiration and make our New Years resolutions…again! I know I need motivation and inspiration to make my resolutions list and then to follow through with my New Years resolutions long enough for them to become a new habit. The New Years poems below are inspirational poems written to help us realize the New Year offers hope and promise, to motivate us to seek that which we desire to achieve.
12 Inspirational Poems for 12 Months of Resolutions
Behaviorists tell us it takes two weeks of consistently practicing a new behavior before it becomes a new habit. For myself, I find it better to make a list of 12 New Years resolutions – one for each month. That way, I have only one resolution to work on at a time. I keep the list flexible, just in case one month's resolution isn't successful. I can try it again the next month if I choose to or try the next one instead. My 12-month New Years resolution list gives me goals throughout the year keeping me focused on what's important for me.
The 12 New Year's inspirational poems can be read over and over to help keep me motivated. I know I can always change it if I need to so I'm not too tough on myself along the way. As with most New Years resolutions, some are successful…and some not. With 12 to work towards, hopefully I'll have one achieved by next January 1!
Inspirational New Years Poems
Here are 12 inspirational poems (one for each month if you'd like) to help motivate you (and me) to achieve this year's New Year's resolutions:
Poem 1: LITTLE NEW YEAR POEM
The New Year lies before you
Like a spotless tract of snow
Be careful how you tread on it
For every mark will show.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 2: RECIPE FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Take twelve whole months.
Clean them thoroughly of all bitterness,
hate, and jealousy.
Make them just as fresh and clean as possible.
Now cut each month into twenty-eight, thirty, or
thirty-one different parts,
but don't make up the whole batch at once.
Prepare it one day at a time out of these ingredients:
Mix well into each day one part of faith,
one part of patience, one part of courage,
and one part of work.
Add to each day one part of hope,
faithfulness, generosity, and kindness.
Blend with one part prayer, one part meditation,
and one good deed.
Season the whole with a dash of good spirits,
a sprinkle of fun, a pinch of play,
and a cupful of good humor.
Pour all of this into a vessel of love.
Cook thoroughly over radiant joy,
garnish with a smile,
and serve with quietness, unselfishness,
and cheerfulness.
You're bound to have a happy new year.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 3: THE UNKNOWN FUTURE
Life is a book in volumes three–
The past, the present, and the yet-to-be.
The past is written and laid away,
The present we're writing every day,
And the last and best of volumes three
Is locked from sight — God keeps the key.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 4: NEW YEAR
At the sound of the tolling midnight bell
a brand new year will begin.
Let's raise our hopes in a confidant toast,
to the promise it ushers in.
May your battles be few, your pleasure many,
your wishes and dreams fulfilled.
May your confidence stand in the face of loss
and give you the strength to rebuild.
May peace of heart fill all your days
may serenity grace your soul.
May tranquil moments bless your life
and keep your spirit whole.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 5: HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU
A new year is beginning to peak through
softly beautiful and different like new falling snow,
each day unique and shaped just for you.
Your life adding something as each day does grow.
My wish for your new year is beauty
and softness with surprises thrown in for delight.
Love for each day bringing happiness to you,
making your life a scene of sparkle and shining sunlight.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 6: LET THE NEW YEAR BE…
Let the new year be a year of freedom from sin,
a year of service, a year of trust in God,
and it will be a happy year from first to last.
It may be the hardest year we have known,
but it will be the happiest.
~ By J. M. Buckley ~
Poem 7: NEW YEAR
To leave the old with a burst of song;
To recall the right and forgive the wrong;
To forget the things that bind you fast
To the vain regrets of the year that's past;
To have the strength to let go your hold
Of the not worth while of the days grown old;
To dare go forth with a purpose true,
To the unknown task of the year that's new;
To help your brother along the road,
To do his work and lift his load;
To add your gift to the world's good cheer,
Is to have and to give a Happy New Year.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 8: SAILING INTO THE NEW YEAR
God built and launched this year for you;
Upon the bridge you stand;
It's your ship, aye, your own ship,
And you are in command.
Just what the twelve months' trip will do
Rests wholly, solely, friend, with you.
Your logbook kept from day to day
My friend, what will it show?
Have you on your appointed way
Made progress, yes or no?
The log will tell, like guiding star,
The sort of captain that you are.
For weal or woe this year is yours;
Your ship is on life's sea
You acts, as captain, must decide
Whichever it shall be;
So now in starting on your trip,
Ask God to help you sail your ship.
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 9: HAPPY NEW YEAR
If it didn't bring you joy
just leave it behind
Let's ring in the new year
with good things in mind
Let every bad memory
that brought heartache and pain
And let's turn a new leaf
with the smell of new rain
Let's forget past mistakes
making amends for this year
Sending you these greetings
to bring you hope and cheer
Happy New Year!
~ Author Unknown ~
Poem 10: MY NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
I will not throw the cat out the window
Or put a frog in my sister's bed
I will not tie my brother's shoelaces together
Nor jump from the roof of Dad's shed
I shall remember my aunt's next birthday
And tidy my room once a week
I'll not moan at Mum's cooking (Ugh! fish fingers again!)
Nor give her any more of my cheek.
I will not pick my nose if I can help it
I shall fold up my clothes, comb my hair,
I will say please and thank you (even when I don't mean it)
And never spit or shout or even swear.
I shall write each day in my diary
Try my hardest to be helpful at school
I shall help old ladies cross roads (even if they don't want to)
And when others are rude I'll stay cool.
I'll go to bed with the owls and be up with the larks
And close every door behind me
I shall squeeze from the bottom of every toothpaste tube
And stay where trouble can't find me.
I shall start again, turn over a new leaf,
leave my bad old ways forever
shall I start them this year, or next year
shall I sometime, or …..?
~ Robert Fisher ~
Poem 11: A NEW YEAR'S PLEA
Lord, let me stand in the thick of the fight,
Let me bear what I must without whining;
Grant me the wisdom to do what is right,
Though a thousand false beacons are shining.
Let me be true as the steel of a blade,
Make me bigger than skillful or clever;
Teach me to cling to my best, unafraid,
And harken to false gospels, never.
Let me be brave when the burden is great,
Faithful when wounded by sorrow;
Teach me, when troubled, with patience to wait
The better and brighter to-morrow.
Spare me from hatred and envy and shame,
Open my eyes to life's beauty;
Let not the glitter of fortune or fame
Blind me to what is my duty.
Let me be true to myself to the end,
Let me stand to my task without whining;
Let me be right as a man, as a friend,
Though a thousand false beacons are shining.
~ Edgar Guest ~
Poem 12: THE UNKNOWN
I do not know what still awaits,
Or what the morrow brings;
But with the glad salute of faith,
I hail its open wings!
For this I know — that in my Lord
Shall all my needs be met;
And I can trust the heart of him
Who has not failed me yet..
~ Author Unknown ~

II.4. Communication
Fundamental to leadership is the chair's ability to maintain transparent and open communication about department matters with faculty, staff, and students. Severed communication between administrators and faculty members can breed distrust in an academic department, which can foster disruptive behavior and suspicion and erode morale. Some personnel matters cannot be discussed openly; however, faculty will respect reasonable confidentiality from a chair who otherwise is open to feedback and is transparent about non-confidential administrative decisions. It is also important that communication from the chair, whether written or verbal, be impeccable as a model of civil discourse, regardless of the tone and/or content of received communication. As its chief academic and administrative officer, the chair is also the official spokesperson for the department. In this position, there is little, if any, private speech when discussing matters related to the department, the college, and the university.

Agricultural Handbook No. (AH-697) 77 pp, June 1992
This handbook is a compilation of weights, measures, and conversion factors used for agricultural commodities and their products.
