As Chicago is hit with its biggest snow storm in a good while, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel has been on vacation – as well as reportedly conducting business – in Asia. Last spring, Chicago's newest mayor in decades was conveniently in abstention when Chicago announced it was closing some-50 Chicago Public Schools last spring.
The question is not "where's Waldo?" The question is "where's Mayor Rahm Emanuel?"
Mayor Rahm Emanuel Shrugs Off his Indonesia Vacation Criticism
It appears as though he is hard to find when the going gets tough. It was no surprise that the issue of the school closing was coming up last spring when Emanuel and his family headed out west on vacation. The reason was that his kids were on spring break. It's difficult for the average Chicagoan to figure out that the kids' spring break would be a reason for taking an out-of-town vacation, because – obviously – most people, these days during the Obama economy, can't afford a vacation. Most are lucky to have a job and better keep working.
Bad Chicago: What Chicago Doesn't Want You to Know about the City
Chicago news has reported that Emanuel has been on a business trip in Asia just days before Christmas, in an effort to promote trade and tourism in China. Of course, there are those who believe Chicago's biggest hurdle to be jumped in getting business to come to Chicago is the incredible tax rate for businesses throughout Illinois. No Illinois mayors need to travel further than Gov. Pat Quinn's Springfield office to deal with that problem – where it initiated. (By the way, where are all of the Dominick's shoppers shopping these days?)
Though unconfirmed, Chicago talk radio via Richard Roeper's discussion on WLS-AM last week suggested that Emanuel's business trip evolved into another family vacation. Naturally, the kids are most likely on break from school again – but the question remains: why take a family vacation in the dead of winter when it's no surprise that, at any time, Mother Nature can start feeling feisty and dump 10 inches of snow on the city – and follow it up with the coldest temperatures the city has seen in 25 years?
Quite sarcastically, WLS-AM's talkers were saying how Emanuel was guiding the snow removal – remotely – from Asia. What?
If a big city mayor thinks he or she can have vacations – at will – because President Barack Obama takes vacations, they're wrong. He's the president – and takes a large amount of staff with him. A big city mayor doesn't have that luxury – so one would hope.
It's tough to criticize Mayor Emanuel because – like President Obama – he can be such a nice guy. (Not only that, but he's going to be around for a good while. He's reportedly got $5 million in his re-election campaign fund, and for some reason, people tend to vote for the guy with the tallest pile of money. Go figure.) So, maybe rather than criticize him, it would be better to simply suggest a new law to lawmakers.
Maybe we need a new law that says a person responsible for running a large city - where millions of people are affected by his or her decisions daily - stays home. No globetrotting – until he or she is voted out of office or reaches the end of his or her term limit, should a city be fortunate enough to have a term-limits law. If the politician experiences "the great divide" while in office and never gets to globetrot again – sorry, that's the breaks. Most regular people don't get to globetrot, so fair is fair.
But seriously, even though the masses only tend to notice a politician is globetrotting again when he or she is away at a bad time for his or her constituents, the entitlement – yes, entitlement - to grand vacations for politicians seems to have gotten way out of control.

Thomas Zemler, the son of Herman and Agnus Bacchler Zemler, was born on April 10, 1937 in rural Fulda, Minnesota the fourth of 11 children. He grew up on a farm west of Fulda and attended St. Gabriel's Catholic School and graduated from Fulda High School in 1955. He worked on the family farm until taking a job with the Minnesota DNR.

He continued farming during his enlistment and after his time with the National Guard was finished he met the love of his life, Geraldine Ramert. They were united in marriage on October 19, 1968 at St. Gabriel's Catholic Church in Fulda.

CERN just posted this article where it informs that it was found an hadron which cannot be classified within the traditional quark model. What other models are there to explain this result? Or is it possible to introduce a correction to the quark model to explain such find?
There are three flavours of quarks in the fundamental $3$ representation of $SU(3)$, the QCD gauge group. Their antiparticles are in the conjugate representation $\bar3$ or $3^\star$.
QCD is confining; the quarks form bound, colorless states, which are singlets in $SU(3)$.
Decomposition of an arbitrary tensor doesn't always contain a singlet e.g. $3\times3=\bar6+3$.
The discovery of a tetra-quark does not require the model of quarks and their interactions to be adjusted.
A tetraquark (and pentaquark) had been previously predicted as extensions of known mesons (and baryons, respectively). There is no reason why they cannot be colour neutral. e.g. in RBG the quarks could be R 255 G 0 B 0 R 0 G 255 B 0 R 0 G 0 B 128 R 0 G 0 B 127

Enhancing a Room with Fabrics
From Dean Dowd on October 27, 2008 in General Remodel
Oh my goodness, the things one can do with fabric for an instant transformation to a room! It might sound crazy, but one of my favorite things to do is to walk through a fabric store and just feel the fabric textures through my fingers. Fabric not only adds color, pattern, and charm to your rooms design, but it adds texture and feel to your style. With budget being the main concern for room makeovers or remodels, using fabric for the change you might be looking for wont break the bank.
With the season of decorating around the corner, fabric can define your theme. Heavy, richly colored, textured fabrics bring a formal, ornate feel to your room, and sheer, soft fabrics can speak romance. Whatever your style may be, you will want to create hospitality and warmth. Fabric can make a dramatic change and yet be perfectly functional. Do some research for some great ideas; look through magazines, decorating books, and the Internet.
Fabrics can be used most anywhere in any room window treatments, upholstery, walls, floors, and accent pieces like pillows are all good places for fabrics. Use the 60/30/10 rule that interior decorators use. That is to say, 60% of design is your primary fabric (I would suggest a solid, neutral tone), 30% is a secondary fabric for color and texture, and 10% is a fabric choice for accent and the rest of your decor. Make sure the colors are compatible and share the main color being used throughout.
Fabrics are great for the quick fix, but when used for upholstery and the like, it is more of a permanent thing. Think of how permanent changes can fit in with seasonal changes. Also, think about what your fabrics have to stay, then work around the permanent.
Use fabrics in unexpected places, like walls. Is there a piece of fabric you just love? It could even be a large remnant that you cant do much with. Why not make it your focal point by stretching it over a frame and hanging it as artwork? Then, use it to blend the rest of your room around those colors and textures. Many items of fabric can truly enhance a wall or design for a room, be it a tapestry, a framed print, or even a time period piece of clothing, say a kimono for Asian Style Decor.
Styles like Victorian, Gothic, or any of the Romantic styles do well with luxury fabrics like velvets, brocades, and sheers touched up or tied back with cords and tassels. With these types of fabrics, its easy to change or spruce up the room for a seasonal change, spring to summer, summer to fall, and fall to winter for the holidays.
Cheer up the room with simple table coverings, pillows, a fabric-covered lamp, or even a simple throw across the back of an armchair. The ideas are endless. If you find some great ideas of your own, send in a comment and let us know what worked for you.

From Life Is Good, hitting July 17th. No I.D. on the beat, let the story begin….
All I have to say is DOPE. It was good that Large Pro didnt rhyme on it cuz Nas killed this ill beat that NO ID laced for Nas. This is some Boom Bap Hip Hop I Love It.
If only Nas would rap over beats like this for a whole album.
But I know he wont, and that fact has put me off buying his albums since 'It was written'
It's a shame Largo Pro didn't actually spit a verse on this too.
This is DOPE. Also as good a time as any to mention that Large Pro's new album is very good.
Yeah, this is fire. I was dissapointed not to hear a Large Pro verse too though. Oh well. Anyway, unless all the good shit has been leaked already this record is shaping up to be pretty dope.
This song is that nasty Nas we long time fans want to hear. I cannot stand when artists claim to be featuring an incredible artist on a song only to find out they just ramble a couple adlibs. False advertising by either the artist and/or the record label to fullest and definitely made this good song a bit of a disappointment. I look forward to this LP and keeping my fingers crossed the LP has a cohesive sound and it sounds like this and Nasty.

Academy Awards 2014: Pink Rocks Ruby-Red Gown for 'Wizard of Oz' Oscars Tribute
Though some viewers may have been expecting to watch Pink (real name Alecia Moore) fly through the air in yet another awards show aerial display, a much more restrained performer stood on the Academy Awards stage Sunday night.
Pink performed "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" for the Dolby Theater audience, which was made up of everyone from Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Matthew McConaughey.

Carlsberg will struggle to close gap with rivals
The little beer-maid
The Danish brewer has scrapped margin targets and given a lean profit outlook. Carlsberg binged less on M&A than rivals, but now looks awkwardly reliant on western Europe and Russia. A costly integration plan could narrow, but not close, the shares' discount to peers.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Service has launched a program that will enable many employers—including coin laundry owners—to resolve past worker classification issues and achieve certainty under the tax law at a low cost by voluntarily reclassifying their workers.
This new program will allow employers the opportunity to get into compliance by making a minimal payment covering past payroll tax obligations rather than waiting for an IRS audit.
"This settlement program provides certainty and relief to employers in an important area," says IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. "This is part of a wider effort to help taxpayers and businesses to help give them a fresh start with their tax obligations."
The new Voluntary Classification Settlement Program (VCSP) is designed to increase tax compliance and reduce burden for employers by providing greater certainty for employers, workers and the government. Under the program, eligible employers can obtain substantial relief from federal payroll taxes they may have owed for the past, if they prospectively treat workers as employees.
The VCSP is available to many businesses that erroneously treat their workers as nonemployees or independent contractors, and now want to correctly treat these workers as employees.
To be eligible, an applicant must:
- Consistently have treated the workers in the past as nonemployees
- Have filed all required Forms 1099 for the workers for the previous three years
- Not currently be under audit by the IRS
- Not currently be under audit by the Department of Labor or a state agency concerning the classification of these workers
Employers accepted into the program will pay an amount effectively equaling just over 1% of the wages paid to the reclassified workers for the past year. No interest or penalties will be due, and the employers will not be audited on payroll taxes related to these workers for prior years. Participating employers will, for the first three years under the program, be subject to a special six-year statute of limitations, rather than the usual three years that generally applies to payroll taxes.

Two days ago, my new test server from OVH was delivered. After the usual tinkering, I tought I would try something new.
I actually never installed a VPN, so this was kind of new to me.
There are different types of VPN protocols, and the one I used (PPTP) is the easiest and fastest to install. On the other hand, it's not as secure as other protocols (like L2PT/IPSec or OpenVPN), but as I don't think I need that much encryption, I'll go with this one.
Installing a PPTP VPN:
1 - Login as root and type in terminal:
apt-get install pptpd
2 - Edit the file:
nano /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
and add a user and a password:
# Secrets for authentication using CHAP # client server secret IP addresses user password *Save and exit 3 - Edit the pptpd config file:
nano /etc/pptpd.conf
and uncomment the two last lines:
Save and exit 4 - Enable IP forwarding:
localip 192.168.0.234-238,192.168.0.245
remoteip 192.168.1.234-238,192.168.1.245
nano /etc/sysctl.conf
and uncomment the line:
#net.ipv4.ip_forward=1Save and exit 5 - Set iptables/MTU rules to allow forwarding. Enter:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -o eth0 -A FORWARD -p tcp --tcp-flags SYN,RST SYN -m tcpmss --mss 800:1536 -j TCPMSS --clamp-mss-to-pmtu
6 - Set pptpd to start on boot:
chmod +x /etc/init.d/pptpd

I have only come to music streaming very recently . I will say from the start that I use and enjoy digital music from CD as my main source and very rarely ever play LP's anymore. To me the sound of CD is more than good enough to transport me in to the music .
Streaming is for my ears much better even than CD and the quality of music I am getting is the best I have heard to date . However this has made me think and given me the itch that if everything I listen to is in the digital domain then some sort of Digital Room Correction would be worth looking in to.
There are two things I am looking at DSpeaker Anitmode unit currently going the rounds looks like something that seems to work but does not require long study in to arcane computer files to implement and enjoy .
The second is I have seen a second hand Tact 2.0 Room Correction Pre for sale. Looking at the detials this is the early model they made and not the current one so will require a pc to aid with set up.
A brief read through of both units seems to indicate that both will do what I am looking for but that the Tact may well be a little more flexible with inputs for analogue and digital sources and the ability to alter the correction wave forms in real time. There is a danger here that giving an obessive like me the chance to fiddle may well mean that I constantly tweak things while the other unit looks more like you measure set and that is it.
I know that a few have recently tried and bought the DSpeaker Dual Core unit and I have read the review in the Euipment review section but is there anyone out there who has used the Tact ?
The Tact could easily replace my Dac and current Pre Amp as it would be possible to have the SBT and my Theta connected directly to the Tact then use that directly in to the Krell . Not sure if the DSpeaker offers the same . Reduction of boxes and so mess is something I like and shortening the signal path and keeping it digital until the last minute is also I think desirable but would appreciate any feedback off people that have used either units.
Just as an aside I have looked at and considered the software options that exist but I do not want a PC in the music room and I do not want to do the hard study needed to get them set up and working .

Filed May 19, 1966 l NVEN TO R Raymond E. Armstrong attorney United States Patent O 3,408,067 SKIING SIMULATOR DEVICE Raymond E. Armstrong, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (62 Crosland Drive, Scarborough, Ontario, Canada) Filed May 19, 1966, Ser. No. 551,450 Claims. (Cl. 272-16) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An apparatus which will simulate snow-skiing to a vents the user from falling and stops the rotational movement of the belts when the user loses his balance.
This invention is directed to a recreational and training device, and in particular to a skiing simulator device.
In learning to ski, or in teaching others to ski, it is common practice to proceed to the beginners slopes and to immediately commence with the basic steps of skiing. While in young people this is generally quite satisfactory and usualy oflers no particular drawbacks, in older people there is often great reluctance to take the initial step of commencing to ski owing to self-consciousness and lack of self-confidence, due no doubt to a general dissimilarity of skiing action to normal modes of locomotion.
An object of the present invention is to provide a skiing simulator by means of which familiarity with certain aspects characteristic of skiing can be obtained without at the same time involving any danger of falling while in motion.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a safe and easily operated training and practice device by which certain essential features of skiing are simulated without the motion normally associated therewith.
What I have provided is a skiing simulator device for use by a skier to simulate skiing action while being substantially stationary, comprising: platform-means to support a skier on skis; a pair of side-by-side endless belts providing individual ski-support surfaces on a platform means; belt driving means to rotate the endless belts; belt drive control means for selectively operating the belt driving means; and ski restraint means mounted on the platform intermediate the ends thereof and attachable to the skis to limit the movement thereof relative to the platform means, whereby rotation of the belts relative to the skis produces sliding of the skis over the upper belt surfaces.
In order to provide entertainment and an association of ideas of the sensation of skiing with the action of skiing, I have also provided cine-projector means actuated FIG. 1 is a side view showing a skier mounted upon a simulator according to the present invention, and facing the cine-projector screen;
- FIG. 2 is a general view of the arrangement shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the ski-securing device illustrated in FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is a scrap view looking downward of an alternative ski-securing device showing ski-centering means; and
FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view showing the skisecuring means together with details of the pivotal mounting arrangement of the platform means.
Referring to FIGS. land 2, the simulator device 10 comprises platform means 11 having a pair of endless belts 12 mounted for rotation thereon, on which the skis 20 are mounted by attachment to a centre pivot post 21. The platform means 11 is mounted for fore and aft pivotal movement upon a support platform frame 30, which in turn is mounted for transverse canting motion and/or horizontal swinging motion upon a transverse gimbal frame 40 carried by simulator support pedestal 38. A cantilever beam member 44 adapted for swinging motion with the simulator platform means 11 carries a viewing screen for portraying a skier in action.
Referring to particulars of FIGS. 1 and 2, the platform means 11 on which the endless belts 12 are mounted comprises a belt support surface 13 secured to side frame members 14 which support a front roller 15 and a back roller 16 over which the belts 12 pass. A suitable drive motor 17, such as an electric motor having a built-in reduction gear,-is mounted on the under surface of the member 13, driving the back roller 16 directly by means of a suitable V-belt. Stop legs 19 restrict fore and aft platform motion.
The skis 20 are secured to the platform means 11 by means of a central pivot post 21 attached to the belt-support surface 13 of the platform. A first embodiment of the ski-attachment means is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 and arsecond embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 4. Referring first to the first embodiment, this comprises a pair of collars 22 mounted on the post 21 in superimposed relation one with the other, and secured-thereon by wing nut 23. Ski-mounting tubes 24 are formed at the outer ends of collars 22 and are adapted for use with tubular frames 25 which are mounted in sliding relation with ski-mountin g tubes 26 attached to the individual skis.
The platform means 11 is supported by a platform support frame 30 extending transversely of the platform means 11, side pedestal members 31 having axles 32 mounted in journalled apertures 33 in the side members i 31 and secured at their inner ends to the side frame mem- 14, and compression springs 36 extending between the by the skiing device and located in front of the person upper and lower stabilizing members 34 and 35 to provide a restoring force to the platform when it is moved from a horizontal position.
The simulatoris mounted clear of the ground by a simulator support pedestal 38 having a vertical recess 38A therethrough receiving a support shaft 39 which carries a transverse gimbal frame 40 at the upper end thereof. It is contemplated that use of a cylinder support shaft 39 will permit swinging of the simulator about its vertical axls.
The transverse member 30 of the support frame is secured to the gimbal frame 40 by means of a fore and aft pivot pin 41. A pair of compression springs 42 on each side of the pivot pin 41 provides restoring force between the gimbal frame 40 and the support frame member 30,
so that side-to-side canting of the platform can be carried out by a user.
A cantilever beam 44 secured to the gimbal frame 40 carries a viewing screen 45 on to which a projector (not shown) can project an action picture of a skier in motion.
A safety harness 46 includes a belt 47 for attachment about the person of a skier, having a leash member 48 secured thereto and depending from a support and cut-out device 49. In the event that the user loses his balance and falls, the leash member 48 becomes taut and prevents him from falling, while at the same time the leash-support member 49 includes an electrical cut-out device which de-activates the motor 17 so that the belts 12 come to a standstill.
By using an electric motor 17 having a built-in reduction gear, the inertia of the rotating masses can be correspondingly reduced, thereby reducing the size of motor required and at the same time reducing the total inertia of moving parts, so that the belts 12 come to a halt more quickly.
Referring to the ski attachment harness illustrated in FIG. 4 the tubular frames 25 are mounted in sliding relation with ski-mounting tubes 26 attached to the individual skis, and compression springs 27 extending over the frame members 25 and compressed between the mounting tube 26 and shoulder stops 28 provide longitudinal centering action for the skis relative to the fixed pivot post 21 to which the collars 22 are secured. The longitudinal relative position of the ski can be adjusted relative to the pivot post 21 by means of adjustable grub screws securing the shoulder stops 28 in sliding relation with the slide frame members 25.
It is contemplated that the control circuit for the cineprojector can be connected with the cut-out device 49, so that in the event of a fall by the user the picture ceases its motion.
It is contemplated that the control circuit for the drive motor 17 can be connected by means of limit switches to the platform means 11, so that the device is not operated until a user adopts an appropriate skiing position which produces forward tilting of the support frame 11, to simulate the effect of going down hill. It is further contemplated that the under-surface of the belts 12 contacting the support surface 13 may be of irregular form to produce characteristic bumping motion similar to that encountered in skiing.
In addition to the brace legs 19 shown attached to the frame, it is contemplated that a permanent platform may be provided to support the after end of the platform means 11, so that a completely stable walk-on to the device is provided.
In addition to providing a safe, substantially tumblefree recreation, training and practice device, it will be seen that many characteristic movements associated with skiing can be readily duplicated by a user of the device, while at the same time a visual encouragement and prompt is provided by means of a suitable film projected onto the viewing screen to be observed by the user for purposes of emulation and entertainment.

'Jerseylicious' star Tracy Dimarco is standing behind her man even though he did something quite stupid. Page Six reported on Monday, Jan. 27, that her new husband, Corey Epstein, was busted in a big drug sting last week for selling prescription drugs on the street.
According to the Richmond County DA's office, he sold an undercover officer three Oxycodone pills outside his home.
The sting operation, dubbed "Operation Silent Hill," was a 16-month operation that spanned Staten Island.
"This long-term investigation uncovered a wide network of criminals who were peddling their narcotics across Staten Island. With no regard for the law-abiding citizens and children they put in danger, these defendants sought to make money dealing illegal drugs," said District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
Tracy has blasted the district attorney for including Corey, whom she maintains was not part of the drug ring, in the press announcement.
"I'm happy Donovan is trying to get everything cleared up and drugs off the street I've never done and never will do any sort of drug I don't even smoke cigarettes or weed . I'm very straight edged & I am supportive of what he's trying to do however I don't think Corey's face and name should be splashed across the magazines tabloids & newspapers just bc he's on a show it makes him look like he ran a cartel or something it's INSANE !!" she wrote on Instagram earlier today.
"we are not part of that ... at least 19 people were indited n were sent to rikers and yet Corey's name n pic is the only one being used and he was let go that day - they're using the jerseylicious name to make this a publicity rant," she added.
While Corey may not have been part of the drug ring, he was still busted selling prescription drugs so perhaps Tracy shouldn't be lashing out at the district attorney too much!

BLOOD — the river of life — flows through a network of channels spread all over the human body called blood vessels, which bring to the doorstep of every cell the right amounts of food and oxygen. The sight of oozing blood, whether it is a mild bruise or a serious injury, is truly distressing, particularly if bleeding occurs non-stop. It could prove fatal in no time if the natural clotting power of the blood is flawed. Millions of victims of a genetic disorder called hemophilia bear the harassment of unstoppable bleeding even for a minor wound, as their blood lacks certain crucial proteins that normally work with special cells in blood — the platelets — till the wound is finally sealed to form a clot.
A child born with hemophilia simply lacks clotting factors that help platelets stick together to plug the cuts at the site of injury to stop bleeding. This happens as the child inherits defective genes for these clotting factors from one or both parents. There are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (classic hemophilia) where there are low levels of clotting factor VIII and hemophilia B (Christmas disease) where victims have abysmally low levels of clotting factor IX. About 9 out of 10 victims suffer from hemophilia A.
Depending on the level of deficiency of these clotting factors, hemophilia is classified as mild, moderate or severe. About 7 out of 10 people who have hemophilia A have the severe form of the disorder. In some persons with hemophilia A, the Factor VIII replacement therapy is identified as a foreign substance by their defence machinery. When this happens, antibodies are made against Factor VIII, which inhibit the ability of the infused Factor VIII to work in the clotting process. This faulty process of raising an immune response against body's own proteins is called autoimmunity. Clotting factor levels are also measured when a patient is suspected of having an acquired condition that is causing excessive bleeding, such as vitamin K deficiency, liver disease or cancer to name a few.

UMWA in Action
Massey's Aracoma Alma #1 mine "set up to be a death trap," UMWA President Roberts says
November 2, 2006
For immediate release?:
The contents of the report of the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training report on the Jan 19, 2006 double fatality at Massey Energy Company's Aracoma Alma #1 mine shows that the mine was "set up to be a death trap in the event of an accident, and that's what it became," United Mine Workers of America Cecil E. Roberts said today.
"Everywhere you turn in this report, there is another safety procedure that was supposed to be followed that wasn't or safety equipment that was supposed to be in place that either wasn't there or didn't work," Roberts said. "There was no water available to fight the fire because it was shut off. The hose couplings didn't fit. Carbon monoxide monitors were not installed. Ventilation plans were not being followed and ventilation controls were not being maintained.
"These are Massey management's responsibilities," Roberts said. "These are things they are supposed to be staying on top of. The report clearly shows that this is a tragedy that didn't have to happen, shouldn't have happened, and only happened because proper and required safety and maintenance procedures were not followed at that mine."
The report indicated, for example, that management had been told nearly a month before the fire occurred that the couplings on the hoses needed to fight a fire in the mine were not compatible with the water system outlets. The report also indicated that management personnel knew that the belt that eventually caught on fire was running out of alignment for several hours before the fire started.
"This is yet another example of what happens when upper management puts pressure on a mine to ˜run coal" before doing anything else," Roberts said, referring to a memo Massey CEO Don Blankenship sent to Massey mines last fall, before the Aracoma disaster. "Proper maintenance isn't done, needed and required safety equipment is not put in place, and effective safety procedures in the event of an emergency are not followed. When you put production ahead of safety, tragedies like this are all too often the result."
Roberts also questioned the effectiveness of the enforcement of federal and state mine safety laws at the mine. "You have to wonder why many of these things were not identified," he said. "Ventilation stoppings were out, carbon monoxide monitors were not installed, the water wasn't turned on to the fire suppression system, and more. Why weren't these clear violations of the law identified?"

College Hockey:North Dakota Sweeps Wisconsin
Late Badger Rally Falls Short
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Although Wisconsin made it interesting in the final minutes of its 3-2 loss to North Dakota Saturday, first-year coach Mike Eaves described his team's effort as "embarrassing."
"The last thing we want our players to do is walk out of here feeling good after that performance," Eaves said after the Sioux outshot the Badgers 42-14. "Even if we would have tied or by some miracle won the game, there would have been huge repercussions for the embarrassing performance we had tonight."
The Sioux led 1-0 at the end of the first period on a power-play goal by sophomore forward James Massen at 3:59. In the second period, North Dakota scored another power-play goal at 11:14 from senior forward Kevin Spiewak. Senior forward Jason Notermann, at 18:34 of the second period, scored the game winner.
At the beginning of the third, North Dakota led 3-0, had outshot Wisconsin 30-6, and appeared to be cruising to an easy victory. But defensive breakdowns enabled the Badgers to claw their way back into the game and cut what once seemed an insurmountable lead to one goal.
Sioux goalie Jake Brandt was denied a third consecutive shutout at 7:35 when Badger freshman defenseman Tom Gilbert picked up a rebound and fired it over the sprawling goaltender. At the 11:38 mark, the Badgers struck again when freshman wing Nick Licari shot the puck in over a prone Brandt.
North Dakota took a timeout to regroup and was helped by two Wisconsin penalties late in the game. Badger goalie Scott Kabotoff, who stopped 39 of 42 shots, was pulled with 47 seconds left, but Wisconsin was unable to generate any quality scoring opportunities.
Were the Badgers that bad or were the Sioux that good? It depends on which coach you ask.
North Dakota coach Dean Blais attributed Sioux dominance of the shot clock to his team's defensive corps of David Hale, Andy Schneider, Matt Jones, Matt Greene, Chris Leinweber and Nick Fuher.
"The defensemen are holding the red line more like it's the blue line," he said. "I think it's demoralizing for the other team to constantly get knocked around and not gain the zone to even shoot the puck in. That gets intimidating to play against."
One-goal wins are becoming a habit for the Fighting Sioux, who have won three of their last five games by that margin. While the team's scoring has dropped off recently, Notermann believe there's no reason to panic.
"We're going to start capitalizing on our chances and I think as the season goes on, we're going to start scoring five or six goals rather than two or three," he said. "We just need to work through it. We have a lot of guys who can shoot the puck and score goals. It's just going to be a matter of time.'
North Dakota, which plays Minnesota State at home next weekend, improves to 11-1-0, 5-1-0 WCHA, and remains undefeated at Engelstad Arena this season. Wisconsin falls to 5-7-0 overall, 1-5-0 WCHA. The Badgers are at home next weekend where they will play Michigan and Michigan State in the College Hockey Showcase.

Churches on th Eastern District
Brawta Prayz
Our District Convention is planned for August 14 - 16, 2015. The venue is Port Antonio Church. Theme is, 'Wesleyans Fulfilling the Mission Mandate'. . here
Genesis of the W.H.C.
Constant Spring Wesleyan Holiness Church
The name "Wesleyan" is in honour of John Wesley, a priest in the Church of England, who was born in 1703 and converted to Christianity in 1738. He became the inspiration behind the Methodist Movement. The name 'Methodist' was a nickname given to Wesley and his friends in ministry in 1735, because of their disciplined routine (or method) of spiritual devotion and social work.
The first Methodists went to America in 1766 and organized the Methodist Episcopal Church
in 1784. In 1843 a group of pastors and local churches left that denomination because of their strong antislavery convictions and their preference for a more democratic form of church government. They adopted the name of the Wesleyan Methodist Connection, later changed to The Wesleyan Methodist Church in America.
The Wesleyan Holiness Church in Western Jamaica, were originally known as Missionary Bands of the World. The Missionary Bands of the World was founded in Indiana, USA in 1885 as the Pentecost Bands. It was then an auxiliary of the Free Methodist Church, but became a separate organization in 1895 to be known as the 'Missionary Bands'. At its 1925 annual conference it changed names and became the
Missionary Bands of the World Incorporated. As time progressed churches were established in the State of Indiana, with mission fields in Central India and Jamaica.
Before the end of the 1800s, an indigenous holiness church known as the Christian Catholic Church was established in Jamaica under the leadership of Rev. I. S. Tate. Tate learned of entire sanctification through the writings of
Rev. A. M. Hills, and corresponded with him. Under Tate's ministry, Ella Ruddock
- a Jamaican from Strawberry Westmoreland was converted at age 12. Miss Ruddock worked in one of his churches before travelling in 1890 to study at Taylor University in Upland Indiana, where she spent 4 years. While at Taylor
University, she was invited to a Camp Meeting sponsored by the Missionary Bands, and an acquaintance developed. She travelled again to the United States in 1910.
In 1912, a tragedy occurred that dominated whatever existed of the written or electronic media across the world. It related graphically
of that fatal Night on April 14 when the then largest and most luxurious ship afloat, travelled from Southampton in England, on her maiden voyage across the North Atlantic, destined for New York City in the USA. At about 11:40
that Sunday night, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg, and about 2 hrs. 40 minutes later at 2:20 a.m. on Monday April 15, amid the cries for mercy from 1,496 people, the 882 feet long 92 feet wide, 45,000 tons vessel, went beneath the frigid waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.
The horror stories of that eventful night swept across the world like wild fire, and impacted on the minds of travellers, that if the Titanic could go down, what couldn't. This however did not deter the indomitable spirit of the woman known as Ella Ruddock, who for the second time returned that very year from the United States to fulfil God's mandate on her life for her island home.

How can I get my family to support my choice of a home birth?
I'm thinking about using a midwife for a home birth. How do I handle disapproval and worry from my friends and relatives?

I ran into this problem and here is how I handled it -- I allowed those closest and most important to me to be a part of as many prenatal visits with my Midwife as they wanted. I wanted them to see her in action and to grow comfortable with the fact that she was highly trained, professional, and damn good at what she did. I then refered them to The Business of Being Born and a few Midwifery and Homebirth sources. I answered any and all questions they had and explained why it was so important to me to have this experience. They finally conceded and agree now in hindsight that it was the perfect choice. Hope this helps...posted 07/21/2010 by AEKoiter
If you're really worried about your family approving then start educating them on the facts of homebirth. I think that a lot of people who are against it are people who don't know the facts. They picture the homebirth as being attended by crazy hippies or witch doctors without any medical experience. If you can find a list of statistics as to what kind of pregnancy you need to have to be ok'ed for a homebirth and what would risk you out of one it would be a good idea. Also research the complications of birth and find out what your midwives can do in those situations. Make a list of tools and equipment they carry with them and ask them how many births they've attended with those specific complications. Give your family the information you get and assure them that you feel you're doing what's best for the baby. Just let them know a homebirth is what you're hoping for but will go to a hospital if the situation demands it.posted 05/13/2010 by JackieHeinze
Before having a home birth one needs to understand that while statistically everything should be okay, when things go wrong in labor, they can go wrong in a deadly way. Mothers need to be prepared for that event, and consider whether or not they can live with the consiquences. Can you, if the unimagineable happens, and your baby dies, live with your decision(again this scenario has a very low probablilty, but none the less a possibility). I write this because as a labor and delivery nurse I have seen a mom come in when something has happened during a home delivery and the baby did not make it and the mother barely made it. I do agree that a homebirth can be a very wonderful experiance, but do not let the desire for that experiance preceed the safety of you and your baby. If you chose a homebirth get very good prenatal care and be completely honest with your caregiver about any problems, no matter how small they may seem to you. It may save you or your babies life.posted 04/17/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
It's something you really have to research and prepare for. Having the best midwife and doula you can find and having a meeting with them and your family/friends would maybe ease some worries. But keep in mind, at home you don't have the technology you may need in a worst case scenario. My sister had her first baby at home successfully, but her 2nd was not breathing at birth and my sisters BP shot up to extreme highs, and they had to be rushed 15 minutes away to the hospital in busy traffic. They didn't think either of them would make it, but luckily they did and they're both healthy now. She was a strong believer in all-natural homebirths, but after that, she decided she would never do it again.posted 11/04/2009 by ohlovely1
I am pregnant with my third child and I plan to deliver at home with a midwife as well. (After two normal hospital births.) I have decided to only tell those that I KNOW will be supportive of my decision to birth at home, because I know I will need some support at the actual birth from these people. Everyone else can come see the baby after it's here. If I even think they may try to fill my head with unecessary doubt, then they don't need to know what my plans are! I'd rather enjoy my pregnancy than have people giving me all their unwanted opinions about what I want to do. Anyhow, home births are safe. There is nothing to fear. Good book: Baby Catcher. Good movie: The Business of Being Born. Have your family read and watch and research to eliminate their fears and doubts, if you chose to tell them. But don't worry about what anyone else says. Follow your heart.posted 08/06/2009 by houstonpalmer
Welcome to Mommyhood. It comes with the territory. Although they mean well your family and friends will offer many opinions over the course of your child's life and your actions or plans for their future but my suggestion to you investigate and decide to do what you feel is best. I was teased for breastfeeding my kids because people are retards and associate breasts with sex. Regardless of what people think I am proud of my decision. My children never spit up, never had yellow milk stains in their t-shirts from milk, and never suffered from constipation or colic. And when I weaned them at a little over a year, they did not cling to bottles or have any of the issues I have witnessed parents who bottle feed do. I think I made the best choice for them. Now that I am on baby #4 I am considering home birthing. I am slightly afraid but when i look over my personal history, my labor's were quick and my ob never made it in time anyway. Think about it and do what is best for you.posted 07/27/2009 by kesha2238
Home birth is a personal decision. It's not their baby, it's yours. And who says you have to tell them in the first place? No one will assume you are having a home birth. Surround yourself with people who support you and keep the others at bay until after the baby is born. ;) And YOU! YOU ignorant, negative, horrible woman. Do your homework. Don't poison the experience for someone else. Home birth is not dangerous. Midwives don't "just call 911" after a problem arises. Go spread your negativity somewhere else. Leave us in peace.posted 06/12/2009 by homebirth_mommy
i delivered in the hospital but if i had to do it again i wouldnt be scared to do it on my own its not as bad as it seems and besides a long time ago we didnt have hospitals we had to do it ourselves do what you feel you want to doposted 02/10/2009 by holly2288
My first was an empowering, natural birth center birth, however I labored mostly at home. I am planning the birth of my second at home. Empower yourself by doing research (online may not be best) READ INA MAY GASKIN's GUIDE TO CHILDBIRTH and SPIRITUAL MIDWIFERY. A planned birth with a qualified midwife who gives good prenatal care is just as safe if not safer than the hospital. One of the best benefits of home or birth center birth is the empowerment you feel as a woman when you trust your body and let your mothering instincts take their natural path.posted 01/11/2009 by lovebirthmomma
Having a home birth is a personal decision. No one should be judged on thier birth plan regardless of where and how the baby is born. The saftey and well being of both mom and baby is important. If mom is confident and comfortable she will be relaxed and more likely to have a positive experience no matter where she is at. In my opinion, anyone who is considering a home birth should do thier research to include the pros and cons. Schedule interviews with several midwives to find a good match. Someone who cares about your concerns and birthplan. Are they licensed? Check out their credentials. How long have they been in practice. Get refferals from other women who have had home births. The bottom line is to feel good about your decision so you will feel good about the birth. I have had two healthy children at home with a third on the way all with the same midwife. Not everyone is suited to have a home birth. Talk to professionals to make the decision that is best for you, baby and daddy.posted 12/29/2008 by tnt4e

Troutbeck was settled in 1765 by an English family named Benton. Because the hills reminded them of England, and the streams were full of trout, they named it Troutbeck, after their home in the Lake District, Troutbeck, England. The Bentons were literary-minded farmers who established relations with Emerson and Thoreau, wrote books and started the local literary and historical societies.
In the Teens and Twenties, the house leaped into prominence with its second owners, Joel and Amy Spingarn, who had great influence among the literati and liberals of the country. Sinclair Lewis was a frequent guest, as were Hemingway, Lewis Mumford, poets and scholars from around the world, and Theodore Roosevelt when he was President. Mr Spingarn, considered to be one of America's five best minds of the period, was a literary critic, and the first Jewish professor at Columbia University.

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Shahs of Sunset are more popular than Bethenny Frankel, at least this week in tv ratings. Shahs of Sunset ratings are in, and the new series from Ryan Seacrest did exceptionally well. On a night in which the Bravo series had to go up against Oprah's Next Chapter with Bobbi Kristina Brown's news interview, Shahs of Sunset almost did as well as Seacrest's Khloe and Lamar, also airing on a competing network.
Cable ratings for the night put Oprah at number two overall with 3.5 million viewers. Seacrest' other produced show that night, Khloe and Lamar, delivered a strong 1.8 million viewers for E! networks. But with its series premiere, Shahs pulled in an impressive 1.1 million viewers, twenty-third overall for the night. On Monday, however, Bethenny Frankel drew only 1.022 million viewers for its latest episode.
The Shahs premiere follows recent good news for Bravo with other shows including RHOC. "The Real Housewives of Orange County" earning a massive 2.3 million views for its premiere. Moreover, Watch What Happens Live has continued to break its own record ratings.
Bravo tells news that Shahs is a "latest docu-series follows a group of friends who are trying to juggle their active social lives and up-and-coming careers while balancing the demands of their families and traditions." The network describes the show as featuring socialites who "are fervent on the dating and party scene, but seeking approval from their families they face pressures to settle down and marry within the community." Reaction to the show has been mixed, with many critics feeling the show is a lackluster reinvention of other reality shows. But Bravo says "From outings on Rodeo Drive to traditional Persian feasts at home, this series celebrates the unique lifestyle of a group of friends who have worked hard for what they have and are not afraid to flaunt it."

'Father's Law' a Reflection of Wright's Masterpieces
In 1940, Chicago-based author Richard Wright published a violent first novel called Native Son. It was a huge success, and he spent the next 20 years blazing trails for other African-American writers.
Wright died of a heart attack in Paris in the autumn of 1960, leaving behind an unfinished novel he called A Father's Law, about a police chief who suspects his son of several murders. That book will finally be published this week by Wright's daughter.

Breast Cancer Survivor Flaunts Her Illness at Beauty Pageant to Raise Awareness Among Young Women
Breast Cancer Survivor Flaunts Her Illness at Beauty Pageant to Raise Awareness Among Young Women
CHARLOTTE, NC - (January 22, 2001)
Charlotte resident Lauren Brower will compete in the 2001 Global America Pageant as the Central Mrs. North Carolina Representative. While Lauren has competed in pageants before, she comes to this pageant with a particular mission beyond winning the crown - raise awareness of the risk of breast cancer in young women.
Her interest in this issue is not solely altruistic. Brower herself was recently diagnosed with the life-threatening illness at the age of 34. To battle her illness, Brower has undergone surgery and is currently on chemotherapy treatments, which will be continuing right up until the pageant date in June.
"Instead of concentrating on new hairstyles, I'll be concentrating on my blood counts," she says. Although, she admits that she is shopping for some "fabulous wigs."
"I plan to participate regardless of my chemotherapy treatments because I believe my presence will have a dramatic and profound impact on those attending the pageant," Brower continues. "I think seeing someone who is continuing to live their life as they fight this disease is the best way to prove that cancer doesn't have to be a death sentence. I plan to drive home the fact that it is not only all right to put the struggle out there for the public to see, but also absolutely necessary if we are to generate greater understanding among young women that they are not immune from this disease."
What's unique about the particular pageant Brower has selected to participate in is that a portion of the proceeds it generates will be donated to (NAME?) Breast Center in South Carolina and the contestants are educated in the proper execution of breast self exams.
"Although breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women ages 35 to 40, mammograms are rarely recommended for women in that age group, like myself," Brower explains. "That's why it's so important for younger women to be familiar with their bodies and conduct regular, monthly breast self exams. Currently, it is the best tool we have to identify a potential cancer before it spreads."
Brower is also becoming active member of the Young Survival Coalition (YSC); the only non-profit organization that focuses on the unique issues and challenges faced by women ages 40 and under that are diagnosed with breast cancer. "They are the one's who've shown me I'm not alone and that this is a real threat to, our young mothers, sisters and daughters and even our work force," explains Brower.
Through action, advocacy and awareness, the YSC seeks to educate and influence the medical, research, breast cancer and legislative communities to address breast cancer in women 40 and under, and to serve as a point of contact for young women living with breast cancer.

I don't understand what does Existentialism really mean, but I thought it was a very pessimistic way to view the world.
Actually, it can be used as a pessimistic mindset, but it's really not that pessimistic. Not nearly as much as Nihilism, at least. I don't know, either way, I've always been way more into Taoism.
About Dali - I not once wondered if I'm completely stupid not to adore him as most of my acquaintance do. I don't feel Dali, even if I admit that he was a fabulous painter.
I'm not as much into Dali as I used to be, but it's true that the paintings aren't quite as vast when it comes to emotion. Everyonce and a while, they give off a delightful air of nightmarish confusion (I'm a fan of darkness, by the way) but Dali uses far too many motifs for that to happen consistently. Still "The Hallucinogenic Toreador" is probably my favorite painting ever.
When it comes to surrealist artists, right now,
Steven Cerio
. Actually I'd consider it more "psychadelic art" than "surreal". Either way, trippy yet freaking brilliant stuff.
How about Magritte? Any of you into him at all?
Well, I didn't think of that much, mostly because it concerns philosophy, which I despise. Along with psychology. Would gladly put both in a sack and drown in the deepest of Marianas Trench. As scientific disciplines, at least. In my experience, they only give you headache (or worse) and bring no profit whatsoever.
....Uhhh....que? I think I'll just stop and say "different strokes". Sometimes I forget that stuff can be subjective since so much of my mindset and life is based on working out the puzzle of the universe, and when I'm not doing that, I'm working out the puzzle of humanity. And when I'm not doing that, I'm watching cartoons.
There's no earthly way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining? Is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of hell a-glowing? Is the grisly reaper mowing? Yes, the danger must be growing 'cause the rowers keep on rowing, and they're certainly not showing any signs that they are slowing. AAAGGHHH!!!
