Woman, 98, left in car for at least five hours as son went into Maryland Live! Casino
HANOVER, Md. - A North Carolina man was charged with neglect for allegedly leaving his 98-year-old mother unattended for at least five hours while he went inside the Maryland Live! Casino, Anne Arundel County police said.
Police said Dwight Ridgeway McGinnis Jr., 67, was charged with vulnerable adult neglect and was served with an outstanding warrant for failing to appear for a driving suspended charge.
Police said at 6:37 p.m. Monday, officers responded to the parking garage at the Maryland Live! Casino for a 911 call to check the well-being of an elderly woman, who was located inside of a truck.
Officers learned that she had been in the truck alone for an extended period of time as the victim arrived inside of the parking garage sometime prior to 1:42 p.m. with her son, who was driving the vehicle. Her son then proceeded into the casino, leaving her alone in the vehicle.
The suspect did not leave the casino until 6:17 p.m., leaving the victim alone and without care for nearly five hours. Police said the woman is confined to a wheelchair and is incapable of providing the basic needs for herself.
The only evidence of food or drink in the vehicle was an empty soda can. The air temperature at the time of the report was 81 degrees, and the victim was found inside the vehicle with one window only partially open.
Police said the victim initially seemed confused and responded incoherently to the officer's questions. As the conversations continued, she became more coherent and was able to assist officers in locating her son. She was provided with water and Anne Arundel County EMS examined her. She was determined not to be in medical distress.
A Maryland Live! spokesperson issued a statement regarding the incident Tuesday night:
Maryland Live! Casino will always make it a top priority to ensure that the most effective security systems are put in place to safeguard against any incidents that might occur. We are thankful that our security team was able to intervene and get the appropriate authorities involved. We will continue to support them through the investigation.
At approximately 7:15 p.m., officers were finally able to reach the son on his cell phone. He returned to the vehicle at 7:25 p.m. where he was placed under arrest.
The Department of Social Services was advised of this incident. Police say the woman is staying with her daughter.
"You should appreciate the days you have left with your mother because you may not have any," said Erica Rivera, who works at Arundel Mills.

In 2012, an anime called Sword Art Online took the world by storm for its phenomenal visual graphics and story. It became an instantaneous success and still holds a significant impact on the fans in the anime community. The story takes place in the near future where a highly anticipated Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) Sword Art Online has been released and allows players to control their avatar's body with their brainwaves using a helmet-like piece of technology called Nerve Gear. After its release, the players within the game find themselves unable to log out, because the game creator is holding all of the participants captive in the game unless they can defeat the hundredth floor of the game. However, if a player dies in the game or if a person in the real world attempts to remove the Nerve Gear helmet, the player will die in real life. This anime follows a young teenager named Kirito and all of the people and adversaries he encounters in the struggle for survival.
The launch of a sequel has been confirmed to air in 2014 following the ending of Sword Art Online: Extra Edition, a special OVA (original Video Animation) episode aired just prior to new years. Titled Sword Art Online II: Phantom Bullet, the series will kick off with a new game Kirito joins called Gun Gale Online (GGO) in which the primary choice of weapons is, of course, guns. In comparison to the swords and magic traditionally used in SAO and ALfeim in combat, GGO serves as a challenge to Kirito and his friends with this new kind of weaponry. The promotional video for Sword Art II provides a short teaser for a new heroine, Asada Shino's avatar. Further information has not yet been released, but fans can rest assured that Sword Art Online II: Phantom Bullet will be aired later this year.

PRESS RELEASE: Direct from South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations
Greenville, S.C. (February 20, 2013) – Together. For Good. This is the title of the 2013 Nonprofit Summit that will take place on March 13th to 15th at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville.
The Summit, hosted by the South Carolina Association of Nonprofit Organizations (SCANPO), will feature keynote speakers, sessions, exhibitors, and pre-summit workshops. It is an annual conference that brings together more than 400 nonprofit volunteers and leaders from across the state.
This year, the leading keynote speaker is Robert Lupton, author of Toxic Charity. Lupton is the founder and president of FCS Urban Ministries, a nonprofit organization that focuses on rebuilding urban neighborhoods. In his book, Toxic Charity, Lupton argues that repeatedly offering charity to the poor can create dependency, rather than breaking the cycle of spiritual and physical poverty. In addition to being the keynote speaker at the 2013 SCANPO Conference, Lupton will also facilitate a pre-summit workshop for grantmakers and human needs providers and related session.
SCANPO has also focused on marketing challenges, including sessions with Kivi Miller, president of the Nonprofit Marketing Guide. Miller teaches a weekly webinar series and writes a leading blog at NonprofitMarketingGuide.com on nonprofit communications. She is also the author of "The Nonprofit Marketing Guide: High-Impact, Low-Cost Ways to Build Support for Your Good Cause." More than 3,000 nonprofits from more than 30 countries have participated in Miller's webinars.
This is SCANPO's second collaboration with the three South Carolina chapters of the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP). This statewide collaboration will culminate in a pre-summit workshop hosted by AFP on March 13th featuring a presentation by fundraising consultant Martha Schumacher followed by breakout sessions with various AFP leaders on topics ranging from "Making the Ask" to "Getting PR for Your Nonprofit" to "Fundraising with No Staff." Founded in 1960, AFP advances philanthropy through its more than 30,000 members in 230 chapters throughout the world.
"We are delighted to bring such stellar speakers and leaders to SCANPO's 2013 Conference," says Madeleine McGee, president of SCANPO. "SCANPO seeks to raise the bar for nonprofit governance and efficacy because that is what ultimately raises quality of life in our South Carolina communities," she adds.
The Summit will kick off on Wednesday, March 13th with a series of three workshops:
· "Moving Your Development Shop from Good to Great" by Martha Schumacher, ACFRE, Hazen Inc.
· "Repositioning Our Work from Crisis & Dependent to Chronic & Developmental" by Robert Lupton, FCS Urban Ministries
· "Why Aren't People Reading My E-Newsletter?" by Anissa Freeman Starnes, Constant Contact
All nonprofit leaders, volunteers, members and those interested in learning more about this vital industry sector are encouraged to attend this year's conference. Registration is now open at www.scanpo.org.

Pennsylvania's House of Representatives passed a proposal that would institute a two year hiatus on a variety of tax incentive programs that are funding economic development. The taxes are being used to fund the state's research and development, creating economic opportunity zones, and spurring job creation.
While the proposal is not a guarantee for enactment, the savings from holding back these programs could equal $180 million. However, the real value in the tax hiatus is in being used as a bargaining item for the upcoming budget battle to help bridge a $1.5 billion shortfall.
The problem with this, according to the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation (LVEDC), these programs--specifically the Job Creation Tax Credit--is the one of main drivers in getting companies to relocate to the Lehigh Valley and crucial in helping existing ones expand.
Don Cunningham, president and CEO of LVEDC, views this tax credit is the focal point for the Valley's competitive advantage and allows them to vie for business against much larger metropolitan areas in the Northeast (i.e. Philadelphia, Boston, New York).
The LVEDC estimates that $592 million in development, over 2,300 jobs being created, and nearly 20 major corporations relocating to the Lehigh Valley can be directly attributed to the state having things like a Job Creation Tax Credit program.
While the tax credits are normally a small part of the larger state grants and low interest loans that are used to finance construction development, they were important in getting development deals done for Bimbo Bakeries, Kraft Food Group, Nestle Waters, B. Braun and Samuel Adams.
Also losing programs like the Keystone Opportunity Zones can keep the Valley's cities from being able to redevelop homes in an effort to beautify and rebuild communities with the hopes of attracting more business.

JWC TO ANNA BROWNELL JAMESON ; 7 October 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18421007-JWC-ABJ-01; CL 15: 118-120
Friday 7th [October 1842]
My dear Mrs Jameson
The five pounds has been more adventurous than we thought—it is off to Nuova Scotia in quest of Marrioti!1 left London on the 13 of August on what one may call a fool's errand! Mariotti huffed at Gambardella's want of Pylades-like2 empressment in writing to him had instructed Count Pepoli to get from the said Gambardella—"every paper for him which should find itself in G's possession and forward them to his new address"— Of course Gambardella gave him Lady Byron's letter3 containing the five pounds, suggesting however that perhaps it were more rational to send it back to Lady Byron direct, than via nuova scotia— But Pepoli, as his wife phrases it, "rides on the rigging"—which means—in case you do not know—would do every thing perfectly and a little more than perfectly—and so he insisted on adhereing literally to Mariotti's directions— All the sense his wife could put into his head about it, was that he should send money thro' a Banker's order that in case of its being no more heard of he might not be suspected of having been trying his hand at a little swindling!
All this was communicated to me this morning before I was out of bed!—to be sure I did not rise till one oclock having got a heavy cold— Gambardella who was here by half after nine (!) to answer in person a note I had sent him last night, did not exactly penetrate to my bedroom, but left a message with my cousin, and Madame Pepoli came soon after to tell me that G. had been there at half after eight, to make Pepoli give him a receipt for the money, to give to me, to give to you, to give to lady Byron!—indeed the whole transaction has gone on thro' out very much on the principle of the house that Jack built!
I am glad however that Gambardella whom I really think well of is exonerated of the charge of—unpunctuality—to speak mildly— The thing wore a very awkward appearance to me, and I take credit to myself for having cleared it up for him without giving any offence—or at least very little—to his pride which is equal to Lucifer's— The Italian school4 at all events may heave a sigh!— Five pounds would have been such a godsend to it struggling as it is at this moment with that horrid thing a deficit! I shall keep the receipt till I see you or am surer of your address5— Perhaps by this time you are sitting beside Harriet at Tynemouth6—tanto meglio per voi [so much the better for you]!
Ever affectionately yours
Jane Carlyle

Well, it has been a long cold lonely winter, so here come the Suns* for 2014 (watchlist players in bold, notables in italics):
* Yes, I've been waiting awhile for the chance to drop that one
|Dixon Anderson
|Wilmer Difo
|Isaac Ballou
|Spencer Kieboom
|Andrew Cooper
|David Masters

|Jake Walsh
Twenty of these 25 are on this site's 2014 Watchlist, so by definition, this is a roster that will bear, um, watching — especially the pitchers. Headlined by Lucas Giolito, who it looks like I was wrong about (and happy for it) and will begin the season on the active roster, it would appear that he'll be joined in the rotation by Jake Johansen, Austin Voth, and Nick Pivetta. Who the #5 guy will be appears to be the biggest mystery, with Hector Silvestre, Matthew Spann, and Dixon Anderson all candidates.
Silvestre will be joined by Wander Suero and Jake Walsh from the 2013 GCL Champs, with Rafael Bautista and Drew Ward bypassing Auburn. That's perhaps not as many as some had hoped, but it's roughly what I thought it would be (especially for Ward).
Busy day… finally, the P-Nats.
One Response to "Hagerstown Announces Its 2014 Opening Day Roster"
Hector Silvestre is the other member of the rotation. He should be interesting to keep an eye on this season.

The inspiring and gritty story of the World's Greatest Athlete Redemption tells the story of Bryan Clay, winner of the 2008 Olympic gold medal and the 2004 Olympic silver medal in the decathlon. By the grace of God, Bryan went from being a fist-fighting, drug-using, presuicidal kid in Hawaii to world champion in the toughest Olympic sport. His secret? A dramatically rediscovered faith and his mother's relentless prayers. Redemption goes beyond standard sports memoirs, giving a clear storyline of an athlete's misspent youth, his desperate Christian conversion at a time of utter personal defeat, and his mother's fervent prayers that helped transform him into a top athlete, family man, and loving father. Bryan's story will inspire mothers, fathers, and young readers alike as they experience the rise of a champion from obscurity and failure to the pinnacle of athletic achievement. The world will be watching Bryan, at the age of 32, defend his gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.

A combination of upper- and lower-division courses in U.S., European, and non-Western history is recommended. Choose from the following: H111 - Global History to 1500 (3 credits) This course is an introduction to world history from the origins of civilization to 1500. The course focuses on the societies and cultures of Eurasia: Southwest Asia (the Middle East), India, Persia, China, Greece and Rome, Europe, and Africa, and the Americas. Major themes include the founding and development of the worldメs great religions; political ideas, institutions and practices; law and legal institutions; society and economy; war, conquest and empire; the encounters between cultures; and the richness and diversity of human experience and aspiration in the foundational eras of the worldメs civilizations.

H112 - Global History since 1500 (3 credits) This course is an introduction to global history since 1500. It focuses on the development of the major societies of Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia and also on the interactions between these societies, including trade, colonization, biological exchange, migration, the spread of technology, world war and genocide. The course also is an introduction to the discipline of history and to the skills of critical reading, critical analysis, and effective communication. H113 - U.S. History to 1865 (3 credits) This course offers an introductory survey of the multi- cultural history of the United States from the earliest human settlement around 13,000 B.C. to the end of the Civil War in 1865. It introduces students to the diversity of peoples that came to inhabit North America, such as Native Americans, early colonizers from a variety of European nations, slaves from Africa, and the various waves of immigrants that enriched the American population prior to the Civil War. It introduces students to the various historical periods historians recognize, such as the pre-Columbian era, the Colonial period, the era of the American Revolution, the Early Republic, antebellum America, and the era of sectional conflict and the Civil War. The course also introduces students to many of the people, voices, ideas, beliefs, events, and larger historical developments that shaped American history. And it emphasizes the tension that has existed throughout American history between, on the one hand, the forces that work to create a single, unified country out this multiplicity of cultures, and, on the other hand, the forces that threaten to undermine and tear apart the great republican experiment that is the United States. H114 - U.S. History since 1865 (3 credits) This course is the second half of the American history survey from the Civil War through the early 21st Century. Lectures, readings and class activities will supply both a broad pattern of change over time as well as specific analyses of significant events and people. In class discussions and writing analysis student will be encouraged to think critically about the history of the United States in terms of nationhood and peoplesメ experiences. H270 - Historical Thinking (3 credits) This is a sophomore level course for students intending to major in history or history/social science, or those interested in exploring these majors. It is also recommended but not required for history minors. The course introduces students to the discipline of history, and in particular to the skills of thinking historically, of collecting and analyzing historical evidence, of critically reading the work of historians. The course also focuses on close readings of one or more major historical works which make large claims about the human experience by integrating approaches from several disciplines, and also on critical evaluation of the debates generated by these works. The course encourages students to broadly synthesize their learning and to deeply reflect on the nature of the historical discipline. There are no Prerequisites for this course, but completion of a college level history course is recommended. H298 - Field Exploration (1-3 credits) This course is a supervised, practical application of historical concepts and techniques at institutions such as historic sites, museums and local and state historical societies. H305 - Colonial and Revolutionary America in the Atlantic World (3 credits) This course is designed to not only give students an overview of the history of Colonial America and the America Revolution, but also to introduce students to the larger historical events in which they took shape: the Atlantic World. The course covers a diversity of social, political, cultural, intellectual, and economic topics such as Native American societies, European empires in the Americas, European settlement in the southern, middle and northern colonies, family and community structure, class issues, the development of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, the events leading to the American Revolution and their relation to other revolutions in the Atlantic World, the Columbian Exchange between Europe, Africa and the Americas, and the subsequent transformation of European, African and American societies around the Atlantic basin. In addition to an understanding of the major topics, students gain insight into both the methods historians use to interpret the past and the historiography of colonial and revolutionary America. H308 - From the Constitution to the Civil War (3 credits) The writing and ratification of the Constitution are among the United Statesメ proudest historical achievements, while the American Civil War was the Constitutionメs greatest test. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the developments and debates that led to the writing and ratification of the Constitution, the developments of the early national and antebellum periods that fostered greater unity among Americans, and the divisive issues and developments of the 1850s and 1860s that tore the nation apart yet ultimately affirmed the national unity envisioned by the Constitution. The course covers a diversity of social, political, cultural, intellectual and economic topics from the period between 1783 and 1865, such as the development of state constitutions, the development and spread of slavery, the market revolution, the growth of democracy, westward expansion and the removal of Native Americans, early reform movements, growing sectional conflict, and the Civil War. In addition to a broad understanding of the major topics of this period, students gain insight into both the methods historians use to interpret the past and the historiography that surrounds this vital period. H311 - U.S. Foreign Relations in the 20th Century (3 credits) A general introduction to the history of American foreign policy in the 20th century, the course seeks to increase studentsメ awareness of the relationship of the U.S. to important issues of war and peace as they unfold in the world. It also pays attention to the linkage between the domestic political environment and its impact on foreign relations. Furthermore, it looks at important events and crises in U.S. foreign relations as well as some theories and practices of U.S. foreign policies. Students acquire a good set of tools to carry on their exploration of the impact of U.S. foreign policy on the rest of the world. H315 - American-East Asian Relations (3 credits) The aim of this course is to do three things: provide a general introduction to the history of relations between the United States and the major countries of the East Asian cultural sphere (China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam); explore the changing images Americans have had of the peoples of these nations, the Chinese and Japanese in particular; and draw connections between both these themes and the experiences of Asian-American during the last century-and-a-half of American history. Special attention is paid to crisis in American-East Asian relations, such as: the Boxer Uprising and the 1900 siege of Beijing, World War II and the Occupation of Japan that followed, the Vietnam War, and contemporary disputes over issues of human rights in China (stemming from the June 4th Massacre of 1989). Through classroom lectures, course readings, and a critical viewing of a variety of visual materials (including excerpts from newsreels, newscasts, and feature films) students look at the process by which crisis involving American interests alter or give new life to enduring Western stereotypes concerning East Asia. A major goal of the course is to provide students with the analytical tools and historical background necessary to put future crises in U.S.-East Asian relations, as well as the American mediaメs coverage of these crises, in perspective. H317 - History of Latin America (3 credits) The History of Latin America provides a historical overview of Latin Americaラbroadly defined to include relevant parts of the Caribbean and French Americaラfrom the Spanish, Portuguese, and French conquests to the present day. The course pays attention to the following: the role of Indians and Africans in shaping Latin American societies; the conquest of Latin America; sugar and slavery; the role of the Catholic Church and other religions in Latin American cultures; Spanish and Portuguese administration; the independence movements of the nineteenth century; the revolutionary movements and military dictatorships of the twentieth century; Latin Americaメs relationship with the United States and other world powers; liberation theology; and soccer, music, literature, and other expressions of Latin American culture. H321 - The Early Middle Ages (3 credits) The first half of a two-semester course that covers the period of history from approximately 100 to approximately 1400, the time of the Middle Ages. This course examines the period from approximately 100 to approximately 800. The purpose of the course is to identify and explore the concept of the Middle Ages by means of both primary and secondary sources. It is a fundamental presupposition that モWestern civilizationヤ came into being during the early Middle Ages out of a unique combination of Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, and Germanic elements. In this sense, then, the Middle Ages represent not a モmiddle,ヤ but the beginning of a new civilization. The essentials of this civilization will be explored. These include the decline of the Roman Empire, the rise of Christianity and monasticism, the Barbarian Invasions, Charlemagne, the Vikings, and the development of a feudal society. H322 - The High Middle Ages (3 credits) The second half of a two-semester course that covers the period of history from approximately 100 to approximately 1400, the time of the Middle Ages. This course examines the period from approximately 1000 to approximately 1400. The purpose of the course is to identify and explore the concept of the Middle Ages by means of both primary and secondary sources. Out of the chaos of the tenth century emerged a mature medieval civilization that is the focus of this course. It reached its apogee in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries with the great conflict between church and state, the Crusades, the revival of learning, feudal monarchy, chivalry, and high medieval Christianity, before experiencing the disasters of the fourteenth century and the breakdown of the medieval synthesis. H332 - The Renaissance (3 credits) This course proceeds from the assumption that the Renaissance refers to a particular and creative cultural movement in Western history from the middle of the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries. Students explore traditional notions of the Renaissance such as: the revival of antiquity, humanism, innovations in art, and the Church. Non-traditional approaches such as the role of women in the Renaissance are also discussed. The reading of primary texts by Petrarch, Castiglione, Machiavelli, Erasmus, and Thomas More is emphasized. Italian history is stressed but the Northern Renaissance is studied as well. H333 - The Reformation (3 credits) In traditional terms the Reformation refers to the sixteenth- century religious movement that culminated in both the reforms of the Church and its division. The course balances a study of the theological issues that defined the magisterial Protestant Reformation and its Catholic counterpart with an exploration of popular religion and the everyday religious experience of sixteenth-century men and women. H335 - American Environmental History (3 credits) The course introduces students to environmental history as an academic discipline and teaches American history through the lens of that discipline. It emphasizes the reciprocal and symbiotic relationship between human beings that historically have occupied North America and their surroundingsラthe natural environment as these human beings encountered and transformed them. As such, the course introduces students to the various strands in environmental thought, environmental science, environmental practices, religious belief as it pertains to the relationship between human beings and the environment, and environmental politics that have shaped the history of North America and the United States. The course also familiarizes students with the practices of historiography and the specific historiography of environmental history. H340-349 - Selected Topics (3 credits) Selected topics in history may be offered depending on student and faculty interest. H355 - U.S. Womenメs History (3 credits) This course is an examination of the image, roles, status, and activities of American women. In addition, gender issues are explored within their socio-political, cultural, and historical contexts. Special emphasis is placed on a comparative approach to the study of womenメs lives as they interact with race, class, and ethnicity.

Through critical analysis of the texts, images, sounds, business practices, and media machinery of rock culture, as well as of rock and rollメs profound impact on television, fashion, race relations, gender relations, advertising, and politics students gain an understanding of the functions of popular art and culture in the political, social, and economic life of the United States. The course challenges students to critically examine primary source materials and secondary readings about topic such as the southern roots of rock music, postwar youth culture, race and racism, class, gender and sexuality, technology and mass media, the culture wars, and rock music as an American export, and thereby come to a greater understanding of the development and interaction of modern and postmodern culture. H365 - Early Modern Europe (3 credits) The early modern period is one of the most tumultuous in Western history. Religious division, state building, war, and intellectual revolution are some distinctive features. Students have an opportunity to investigate selected topics and historical methods including religious wars, witch hunts, the development of absolutism, Revolution, the Scientific Revolution, popular culture, and the Enlightenment. Topics may be added or deleted from time to time. H366 - Modern Europe 1789-1914 (3 credits) This course is an introduction to the history of Europe during its explosive period of modernization, beginning with two concurrent world-changing events ラ the French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. Using a variety of sources, including works by historians but also primary sources ranging from manifestos and letters to plays and novels, students investigate the ideas and movements which emerged from this モdual revolutionヤ to change the world, including imperialism, liberalism, socialism, feminism, and nationalism. H367 - Europe in the Era of World War 1914-1945 (3 credits) This course is an introduction to Europeメs モthirty year crisis,ヤ from the outbreak of World War I in 1914 to the end of World War II in 1945. Europeメs period of progress and optimism was shattered by the モGreat Warヤ in 1914. Four years of violence created the crucible out of which the monster of fascism arose. This led to an even larger war only twenty years later. During WWII, mass slaughter became commonplace, from the Nazi Holocaust to the Alliesメ strategic bombing campaigns, which targeted civilian populations. Using a variety of sources, the course examines the big picture of great power confrontations, but also how the wars were experienced by individuals. H368 - Contemporary Europe (3 credits) This course is an introduction to the history of both Western and Eastern Europe since 1945, starting with the post-war recovery, and ending with the paradox of Europe in recent years, during which Europeans have been moving toward integration (the European Union) while at the same time experiencing inter-ethnic warfare (the Balkan wars). The course studies such major trends as the Cold War, decolonization, and the collapse of communism. Among a variety of primary sources, the course uses some of the popular culture of post-war Europe, especially film and rock music. All upper division history courses (300+) are closed to freshmen except where specific exception is made by the instructor. H370 - Research and Writing (3 credits) This is a junior-level course required for those intending to major in history or history/social science. It is also recommended but not required for those intending to minor in history, and for those who are social science education majors. It serves as an introduction to the critical thinking skills and dispositions used by historians as well as some of the basic research techniques employed by historians in research papers. The course requires students engage in their own research and writing, but focus on a broad topic of the instructorメs choosing that will enable the instructor to introduce students to various source bases, research methods, argument strategies, and theories/epistemologies that may inform their senior theses. Students are encouraged to start developing their senior thesis projects, especially as a way of transferring the knowledge gained from studying the courseメs topic to a topic of their own choosing so it can dovetail with the senior thesis course. Prerequisite: H270. H380 - Imperial Russia (3 credits) This course is an introduction to the political, social, economic and cultural history of the Russian Empire from its origins to the fall of the Romanovs. The course emphasizes the crisis of the old regime between the period of the Great Reforms of the 1860s and the revolution of 1917. In addition to works by historians, this course uses a variety of primary sources, including memoirs, manifestos, letters, and also works of literature by such authors as Aksakov, Turgenev and Tolstoy. The course seeks to lay a basis for understanding the Bolshevik experiment of the 20th century, as well as Russiaメs contemporary struggle to define its identity after the collapse of the Soviet state. H381 - Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary Russia (3 credits) The Soviet Union disintegrated into 15 new states, the largest of which is Russia, in 1991. This event was widely heralded in the West as a turn to democratic capitalism; a decade later this was no longer so clear. This course lays the basis for an informed understanding of todayメs Russia by introducing its history in this century. The course highlights the revolutionary period including the Bolshevik seizure of power and Stalinメs モsecond revolution,ヤ and also the recent past, including the periods dominated by Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. In addition to works by historians, the course uses a variety of primary sources, including speeches, manifestos, eyewitness accounts, novels, and a series of influential Soviet films. H390 - Modern China (3 credits) This is a survey of Chinese history from the rise of the Qing Dynasty in the mid-17th century to the protest and repression of 1989. It discusses some of the main social, economic, cultural, political, and intellectual features of the モtraditionalヤ Chinese world the first Qing emperors ruled. It also covers the way this world changed as China experienced a series of convulsive events, including both threats from abroad and domestic rebellions and revolutions. H391 - Chinese and Chinese-American Films as Cultural Makers (3 credits) This is designed to assist students to gain a general knowledge of Chinese history from the feudal dynasties to the present, to stimulate students in thinking clearly and critically about Chinese cultural values, to provide students with fundamental facts and documents of the development of Chinese society through the eyes of several Chinese movie directors, and to develop studentsメ oral and writing communication skills. Specifically, this course investigates how films by such directors as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, and stars such as Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee and Jet Li have shaped Western perceptions of China as well as encoded Chinese culture and history. Beginning with a comparison of The Emperor and the Assassin and Hero, students study how Chinese history is interpreted from two divergent points of view and representative of key Confucian and Daoism concepts. A study of Ang Leeメs films offer the opportunity to investigate how a Taiwan-born, American director has been able to reshape and recondition both Chinese and American cultural icons. Prerequisite: H390.

To the Editor:
I would like to compare the above resources as to usefulness, cost, and environmental feasibility
First of all, let's look at Atlantic salmon and Land Locked Salmon: Atlantic salmon have been in Maine rivers for over 5,000 years or more. In the past 100 years, dams have been built for the betterment of mankind. These structures, however, prevented the salmon from spawning, causing a dramatic reduction in salmon population. Mankind then spent millions of dollars to build fish ways on these dams in an effort to redeem themselves. However they were not very successful except perhaps for the anointed Visie Dam Fish Way. Water pollution also did its share in the demise of Atlantic salmon.
Land locked salmon on the other hand found themselves land locked in Sebago Lake and other unknown Maine lakes after the glazier receded. 110 years ago, the Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife saw fit to introduce land locked salmon to other Maine lakes. Unfortunately, this destroyed the native togue population. Nevertheless, this was a huge success. Six and seven pound salmon are currently being caught at the Long Lake Ice Fishing Derby but not many togues.
Secondly, let's look at Muskie. Over 30 years ago, Muskie were introduced into the St. John River cold water fishery watershed. The Province of Quebec took credit for this. However, they claimed it was an accident. Thanks to Mother Nature, this Muskie introduction was a major success much to the chagrin of the IFW. We decided to turn these so called lemons into lemonade and the Fort Kent International Muskie Derby was born. This is proof that Muskie can be worth a lot more than lemons at no cost to the state.
Copper, the third asset. Lately, I have seen in the news that some politicians want to rejuvenate the Bald Mountain Copper Mine. I think it has something to do about an election in November. This site is located about 20 miles due west of Portage Lake. They claim it would create 350 jobs. However in 15 years they would leave us with a 150 acre copper tailings pond. This looks pretty economical at first sight. However there is a problem. This tailing pond is right smack dab in the middle of the headwaters of the Fish River Cain Of Lakes and the Aroostook Salmon River. Now copper mining tailings produce all kinds of heavy metals. This is because the copper ore is crushed into fine powder. It is then mixed with highly alkaline slurry causing the copper to float where it is skimmed off the top. This slurry is then recycled treated and returned to the tailing pond. If I remember right, this alkaline can be really destructive to fish life. These tailings are than covered with four feet of dirt and water to hopefully keep it from interacting with the sun and fresh water or leaching out to ground level. We are told not to worry, but erosion has a way of doing that. Nothing can go wrong there! Now this copper ore is located on the surface as compared to most copper mines, which are located underground. Copper deposits like this are surrounded or wrapped in a gold bearing ore called Gossamer. In this case the gossamer ore is ground and sprayed with cyanide liquid. I believe that this is the same good stuff that Hitler used to kill a million people. It is also the same stuff some states use in gas chambers. Nothing to worry about here! I am sure that responsible people can use that stuff safely.
I was propelled into writing this article because of my experience with these three different assets in the past. Not long ago, I volunteered as president of the International Corporation called Salen. [Salmon enhancement] The purpose was to re-introduce Atlantic salmon into the upper St. John River above Grand Falls, New Brunswick. I used reintroduced because geologist tell us that five thousand years ago, the Grand Falls Gorge did not exist, neither did the falls. The project failed because of politics between the two nations. It would have succeeded if Governor Angus King had kept his promise to send a letter of consent as he said he had promised. However, it never happened. At that time, Governor McKernan appointed me to the Board of Environmental Protection. During my 10-year-term, the copper mining companies where pushing the DEP and BEP to finalize the State Of Maine Mining Rules which we did. During this time the SJARCD steering committee had formed the award winning Take Pride In America Fish River Lakes Water Quality Association. As its president, I was concerned about this mining operation in our head water. I therefor volunteered to be the point man for the BEP and the mining engineers. I worked closely with Boliden Mining, the most likely Co. to do the mining at the time. With these people I learned a lot about copper mining and its dangers to the environment. The price of copper dropped and that was the end of the project. It seems that copper can be mined in the Panama Canal Region without any rules to live by according to Boliden Mining who were willing to try it in Maine anyway had the copper prices not gone south.
After comparing the three assets, it's a no-brainer that copper and salmon are great economic assets. However, they have been extremely expensive and damaging to the environment which happens when mankind tries to dictate to Mother Nature how to do her work. Their cost benefit ratios have been dismal. Muskie on the other hand, has become an extremely good economic asset. The best part however is that it has not and will not cost a single copper penny. [Pardon my pun.] How is that for a solid cost benefit ratio.
I cannot believe that some Augusta crony capitalist and politicians still want to mine Bald Mountain. I personally do not believe that it can be done safely. Check out Black Hawk mine [aka Kerramerican mine] located next to Second Pond and Carlton Stream in Blue Hill Maine. They and other companies have been mining copper for 125 years. The 53-acre tailing pond is located adjacent to second pond and is currently emitting heavy metals downstream to First Pond, Salt Pond, Blue Hill Bay, and East Penobscot Bay. This was due to the fact that the tailing pond had caused flooding upstream causing a five foot canal to relief the flooding. This, to this day, is exposing down river waters to heavy dose of sulfuric acid .The State of Maine has sued Black Hawk Mining for environmental damage and won a million dollar settlement. To this day the associate mining companies involved appear to be suing each other. [Info retrieved from http://technology.infomine.com/articles/1/1673/glencairn.diligence.]. In conclusion a copper tailing pond in a tidal watershed is one thing. However, having one in the only cold water fishery watershed in Eastern United States is another matter. I will put my money on the Muskie any time.

Over the next week, we're going to be squaring 32 of the all-time greatest boy band hair cuts—individual members of boy bands that is, with some groups having multiple eligible members (and one or two members having multiple eligible haircuts)—off against one another, with the goal of crowning the greatest boy band haircut of all time. From Davy Jones of The Monkees' Proto-Bieber 'do to Justin Timberlake's stringy Ramen-noodle look from his 'N Sync days to Harry Styles of One Direction's soon-to-be-iconic swoop, haircuts from all eras of boy bands are in play.
Our first round saw a great number of lower-seeded upsets, launching today's biggest stars over classic and cult coiffure role models alike—so much for our strange fascination with Chris Kirkpatrick's skunk nest. A total of two Number One seeds fell to the bracket game floor, just like the strands of their once-fabled hairstyles did many years ago.
Next up: Round Two of the Dye Jobs Region, where all the most rampant abusers of Clairol and L'Oreal in boy band history find themselves, plus the Braids, Dreads and Fades region, where the best haircuts that go every which way but bald duel to the death. Examine the matchups below, and then vote in the polls underneath to decide who you want to advance to the next round. It's the first-ever Great Boy Band Hair-Off—forget all the camaraderie and chemistry that usually defines the boy band experience. This March, there can be only one.
Previous Regions: Pretty/Girly and Too Much Hair
The Band: 'N Sync ("Tearin' Up My Heart," "Bye Bye Bye")
The Era: Late '90s / Early '00s
The Hair: A goldilocks-esque set of peroxide blonde curls, whose similarity to a certain dorm-room food staple has oft been cited. It's a look we haven't such much of from JT—or from anyone else, for that matter—since the millennium turned.
The Band: Big Bang ("Lollipop," "Tell Me Goodbye")
The Era: Late '00s / '10s
The Hair: While everyone else in the boy band world went yellow, Big Bang's G-Dragon went blond, blue, red, or whatever other color necessary to make waves in the K-Pop world. Standing out in that scene is no small order, you know.
The Band: Backstreet Boys ("I Want It That Way," "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)")
The Era: Late '90s / Early '00s
The Hair: Because nearly every boy bander was obligated to go blond around the turn of the century, A.J. decided to give it a go. You may or may not have noticed at the time, however, given his tendency to cover up whatever hairstyle he was currently rocking with a succession of goofy hats.
The Band: 98 Degrees ("Because of You," "Give Me Just One Night (Una Nocha)")
The Era: Late '90s / Early '00s
The Hair: Nick didn't go the full-fledged dye route that Justin adopted, instead preferring to go with just the frosted tips–a look just as iconic of the late '90s in its own way. Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray certainly understands, anyway.
The Band: Us5 ("Maria," "Round & Round")
The Era: '00s
The Hair: Thick and bushy dreads hanging down like an octopus with hairy legs, often decorated by a colorful bandanna across his forehead.
The Band: JLS ("Everybody In Love," "One Shot")
The Era: '10s
The Hair: Swirling waves inscribed on the side of his noggin, opening the door for the tagging of various messages or his own name, should people start getting this British import mixed up with someone else.
The Band: Pretty Ricky ("On The Hotline")
The Era: '00s
The Hair: Borrowing heavily from frontmen of '80s hair bands, the side stripes, plus the height of his pseudo-mohawk, ensured he'd
The Band: B2K ("Bump, Bump, Bump," "Uh Huh")
The Era: Early '00s The Hair: Thin braids so tightly wound, it's as if they served to keep all the musical mastery he was privy to deep inside his beautiful head.

[6] Jenny Duncalf (Eng) 3-1 [14] Camille Serme (Fra)
12/10, 11/6,
8/11, 11/8 (58m)
Duncalf first through to quarters
Jenny Duncalf became the first player to win through to the
Cayman World OPen quarter-finals after a tough four-game win
over Camille Serme, the recent Hong Kong Open finalist currently
ranked just two places behind the English sixth seed.
Duncalf made the better start in the hot, humid conditions, but
an early 4-1 lead was soon pegged back by Serme. The rallies
were generally patient as Duncalf edged out again to 9-5, but
was again pegged back to 9-all and a tin gave Serme game ball.
points in a row gave Duncalf the lead 12/10, and a quick 8/1
advantage in the second was too much for Serme to peg back as
Duncalf took the second 11/6.
The Frenchwoman held a slender lead throughout a close third
game, pulling one back 11/8, but from 4-all in the fourth
Duncalf surged ahead , helped by some French errors, to 8-4.
Although Serme once again pulled back to 8-all, as in the first
the final points were Duncalf's as she made Serme stretch into
the four corners, taking the match 11/8 with a pair of well
worked rallies ending in winning dropshots.
"It was a bit patchy but I played well enough to win," said
Duncalf, runner-up here last year. "Camille's been playing well
so to get her in the second round was tough, she always makes
you work hard, but I feel like I'm playing at the moment better
than I have for most of the year .
"I'm pleased to be back here, pleased to get through, and
pleased to have a rest day now!"
[4] Alison Waters (Eng)
3-0 [15] Samantha Teran (Mex)
11/5, 12/10, 11/3 (29m)
Waters doubles up for England
Waters made it an English double as she powered past Samantha
Teran in straight games in just under half an hour.
Waters was in control for most of the first, moving her opponent
around well with accurate drives and volleys, and continued to
do so as she pulled ahead 8-5 from a level opening to the
second. Teran's a determined character though, and she harried
and chased her way to game ball at 10-9. Like Duncalf before
her, Waters resisted the challenge, doubling her advantage with
three winners for 12-10.
Englishwoman was well in control in the third, her shots proving
too accurate as she quickly sealed the win 11/3.
"Sam's a tough character, and she came back at me well in the
second," said Waters. "Thankfully I managed to see that one out
which was crucial as on this court I knew that at one-all it
could become a real battle.
"Taking the second decided the match really, so it's good to get
through in fairly quick time."
[10] Madeline
Perry (Irl) 3-0
[8] Nour El Sherbini (Egy)
11/2, 11/9, 11/9
Perry powers past Sherbini
Madeline Perry got off to a storming start against Nour El
Sherbini, the Irishwoman totally dominating the first hals of
the match as the world junior champion struggled to get a
foothold in the match.
Perry was quickly up 7-0, converted it 11-2, and she was just as
quickly 7-1 up in the second. The young Egyptian was getting
frustrated at not being able to make an impact, but she started
getting into the match, and drew level at 9-all only to see
Perry reach gameball with an Egyptian-style flick,
followed by a Sherbini tin for 11-9 and two games to nil.
was into the match now, and led by a point or two for most of
the third game . Again though it was the Brit who would take
three points to clinch the game as Perry levelled at 9-all with
a stroke, forced another tin for match ball and another stroke
for a place in the quarter-finals.
"When we played in the British Open the court was really
cold, I knew these conditions would suit me more but I didn't
expect to get a start like that," said Perry. "At 7/0 I had to
try to keep my concentration as I knew she'd be coming back into
"I'm really pleased to get through here, my form has been a bit
up and down but this is the world open and I really like coming
here, so I wanted to be able to perform here."
[1] Nicol David (Mas)
3-0 [9] Annie Au (Hkg)
11/3, 11/2, 11/3
Nicol dominant
if Annie Au had been in good form, which she isn't, it would
have been a daunting task for the diminutive Hong Kong players,
taking on Nicol David who has been dominant in the World Open,
in Cayman, and over Au for the past several years.
With the Malaysian number one in pretty good form herself this
had the makings of a onesided match and so it proved as Nicol
took a grip from the start, never let go, with Annie unable to
make more than the occasional fleeting impression.
"It's great getting back here," said the six-time defending
champion, "I love the court, the setting and the music too, so
it's nice to be playing here again, especially in the World
Open. The last three years here have been memorable for me but
this is the big one and everyone will be going for it and
stepping their game up.
"I'm just happy to be playing well and looking forward to the
quarter-finals, taking it one match at a time and enjoying it

As always, I enjoyed your letter this month. As I am sitting in the Barcelona airport reading your letter, I just had to write to you. Of course, the three-hour layover might have had something to do with that. :)
Throughout my life, I have always appreciated my women friends, their support, encouragement and understanding. We have helped each other during the good times and bad times.
Three years ago we retired and moved two hours away from all my lifelong friends. Wasn't sure I was going to meet new friends that were "a match." You are right on target, in that meeting new friends that can click with my husband and me is not an easy task.
I am so happy to say I have met a whole new group of wonderful women. The gym provided an outlet to meet some like-minded women, along with tennis, which I had not played in 25 years. One of the ladies from the gym told me about a website called Meetup.com. This is a site that offers an avenue to meet new friends by joining up with strangers to hike, bicycle and just have fun. Check it out if you haven't already.
The past three years I have met some great women at More's Miraval event and continue to keep in touch with them. Looking forward to seeing you this year too. :)
I still cherish my old friends and make sure to get together as often as I can. Cannot imagine life without these wonderful friends. So, as you can see, it is not hard to find new friends; you just need to "open yourself up and look around you." Take care!
--Deb Dalke
I could really relate to your recent editorial about friends. They are so important in later years of life. I am drawn to strong, intelligent, independent women—and have a number of good friends who fit this description. They are women who have survived many of life's challenges yet live well in spite of their years. Attitude plays an important part in life and friendships! Thank goodness for friends!
I just received my October issue of MORE magazine. I love Salma Hayek on the cover. I read the article and enjoyed it. Yet my comment is regarding the article written by Jenny Allen (commencing on page 98).
GREAT article! I could really identify with her with respect to the title of the article, "The Cat on My Head." Once you're diagnosed with "the BIG C," it takes a little time to get use to hearing that word and then accepting that you have been diagnosed with it. A million thoughts run through your mind ... Not to be insensitive to anyone who has or has survived Cancer. It really comes down to a state of mind. This may sound harsh, but what I had to decide was one of the following:
1. I'm victimized by Cancer.
2. I'm a Cancer survivor.
I decided I was going to be a survivor. I am one of five members on my paternal side who developed Cancer between the ages of 38 and 48. I am one of two survivors of the five family members. I'm currently declared in remission, which I wear as a badge of honor and courage, and I decided to create awareness through wearing my baldness to family functions to bring about awareness. If anything, I encourage women to create awareness among family, friends, peers and acquaintances. This is a disease that is still killing too many of us. Beauty is not in our hair, whether it's on our heads or our face. Beauty is in our strength as women who can stand up and fight against a formidable enemy. I wore my BIG EARRINGS and went BALD. I received looks of admiration. Now there were days I wore my cotton hats to forgo sunburn (not a good thing when receiving chemo). I also had my rough periods due to the aggressive treatment but looked forward to the good days. Just remember, we are still the beautiful women we were before Cancer, except we have grown stronger and wiser.
Laugh, enjoy companionship. Whether its with family, friends or a support group. I did it all and I found that other woman and men had it worst than I and I found myself lending support to them. That made me feel even better. When life gives you a pile of lemons, go to town and start making lemonade, lemon madeleines, lemon meringue pie, etc. ... Sweeten it up! When you survive Cancer, you feel you can conquer most anything.

Upcoming releases & other miscellanyWednesday, October 17th, 2001
Next week is gonna be huge for new releases. Check it out:
- A Silver Mt. Zion - Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward
- Miles Davis - In a Silent Way: The Complete Sessions [3CD]
- Dismemberment Plan - Change
- Einstürzende Neubauten - Strategies Against Architecture III
- Mogwai - My Father, My King [EP]
The few albums that have been dominating my CD player - mostly Grand Opening and Closing, Rishad Shafi Presents Gunesh, and Mekano - are in the process of getting booted by a few new acquisitions I recently got that are a bit more mainstream. In anticipation of the new Coup album, I got Genocide and Juice, and along a similarly left-wing vein, I also just got Michael Franti's latest one, Stay Human. Both are growing on me; the latter is taking time, as it meshes so many styles, many of which strike me as a bit cheesy. I also got that Lumen album with the absurdly long name that was mentioned on rec.music.progressive - so far it seems pretty mediocre to me. The drums are waaaaay too dominant for this sort of music.
In The Album Leaf's "The Audio Pool", from their latest release, there's this tinny metallic sound that carries really well into adjacent rooms. My suitemate noticed it and mentioned that it's beating out a pretty interesting, rather unconventional rhythm. So it is - I never noticed, but it was the sound that he heard best since it carries so well. Little things… oh, there's an MP3 of this track on the group's website, so listen if you're curious.
What is it with traveling that makes certain types of music seem so appropriate? Why can't I resist listening to stuff like Godspeed You Black Emperor! or A Silver Mt. Zion or similar depressing, sparse post-rock type stuff when I'm riding on the train staring out the window at dusk? Why do I get such strong emotional reactions when I do so, emotions that I can't even really identify? There's just something appropriate about listening to lonely, desolate music while staring out at lonely, desolate stretches of land in the middle of nowhere, I guess…

America's Long Journey Away From the Moon and Mars (Essay)
As a longtime NASA booster, I couldn't help but feel a gut kick when the President's new budget meant the end of Constellation, a program commonly nicknamed "Return to Flight" and "Apollo on Steroids." To many of us, Constellation offered an end to the directionless Space Shuttle era and a return to the glory years of Apollo. As a historian, though, I knew at the program's announcement six years' ago that such an epic undertaking, back to the Moon and then onto Mars, would never happen.
NASA has tried repeatedly to return to its 1960s glory years, an era which ended when, two months after Apollo 11 touched down on the Moon, a White House Space Task Force headed by Spiro Agnew reported that the U.S. could chose from three options for NASA: A Space Shuttle and space station for $4-5.7 billion a year; a manned mission to Mars for around $8 billion; or Mars, Space Shuttle, and both earth and lunar space stations, for $8-10 billion. Nixon chose a fourth option: Space Shuttle, with no space station, save one made from Apollo leftovers to be called Skylab. The president was talked out of shutting down NASA almost entirely by Office of Management and Budget Director Casper Weinberger, who told Nixon that the Administration shouldn't take actions that made it look as though "our best years are behind us."
Project Constellation was initiated by George W. Bush in 2004; his father had proposed the same program — NASA returning "back to the moon, back to the future, and this time to stay," through establishing a lunar base in preparations for sailing to Mars — in a speech at the National Air and Space Museum for Apollo 11's twentieth anniversary on July 20, 1989. Like Constellation, this, too, was never adequately funded.
Though congressmen from Texas, Florida, Alabama and California would like to believe otherwise, space travel today lacks political capital. Lyndon Johnson said that he refused to cut NASA's budget in order to reach John Kennedy's "within this decade" target as part of tending to the slain president's legacy. But Congress and most of the American public in the 1960s fundamentally supported going to the Moon as a crucial element of national defense. Just as Obama's announced budget freeze omits the Pentagon, so did NASA stay fully supported forty years ago, even with federal deficits rising in the wake of Vietnam and the Great Society. At its Apollo peak of funding in 1966, the agency held 5.5% of the federal budget. In 2009, it corralled .55%. In 2008 and 2009, meanwhile, the $200 billion cost of going to the Moon, adjusted for inflation, was spent in 540 days on the Iraq War.
The Space Race was a key element in a contest of wills, culture, science, technology, propaganda, and defense with the Soviet Union, what Dwight Eisenhower termed "Total Cold War." It is almost certain that the future will bring some new competition, whether through national security or commerce, and Americans will once again insist on being at the forefront of manned space travel. They do not insist on it in 2010.
Craig Nelson is the author of "Rocket Men: The Epic Story of the First Men on the Moon"

Thanks :) Brilliant film actually...Delete
Hi Piyush! It is really great to surf on your blog! I would like to thank you for sharing these movies with us.ReplyDelete
You have described most of them very detailed...i can feel that you watched them like 'studies'.
My request is...this blog should be translated into Hindi also, so many fans can read it and watch these movies. I will assure you that your blog will reach to thousands of us!
Thank you so much again!Replies
Pls reply soon!Delete
Hi Deepak! Sorry for the delayed reply- I have been a bit caught up recently. Thank you so much for the appreciation. I am both humbled and encouraged by your praise. I would love to translate all these 'studies' into Hindi and would love it that more people get exposed to all these films.ReplyDelete
Hi, Thank you for your reply!ReplyDelete
I am assure you that the Hindi version will go to more people. I am associated with some Hindi bloggers and Hindi forums, where people are digging for these kind of films.
The only problem is language. Frankly, my English is also not as good as a reader's should be. So I also avoid to read English blogs. Why we don't have articles, blog, websites, fb page on Cinema in Hindi?
Kindly provide us your articles in Hindi too!
See You!Replies
Thank you for wanting me to contribute to your forums. I will definitely get in touch if I manage to do a satisfactory English to Hindi translation of my write-ups. Will try for sure :)Delete

Olympus SP-610UZ

14 megapixels | 3″ screen | 28 – 616 mm (22×)
Ask a question in forums about the Olympus SP-610UZ.
Ask a new question
I realize this is a basic model---but it does ok for me, but I want to view the MP4 720p videos on my bigscreen TV...I can view photos; my TV takes control and uses its own photo viewer. But this is when plugged into the "photo viewer" USB style input on the TV. If I get to a video, it just marks as a unviewable file. There IS a cable (HDMI mini to full size HDMI) that I can order, but I don't know if it will allow viewing of the HD video. Any suggestions??? The only other thing I COULD...

Walmart is bringing a side of daily life to India which many Indians are certain to appreciate due to the low cost for many high quality products which Walmart offers. Fox Business Network reported on April 8, 2014, that Walmart is opening 50 Stores in India. As the world's biggest retailer this expansion in India will change the landscape for shoppers in India.
Walmart presently operates 20 stores in India which sell directly to retailers instead of to consumers. Under India laws full foreign ownership is acceptable in wholesale stores and at this time 51 percent foreign ownership is allowed in supermarkets. IBN reports Walmart plans to open the 50 new wholesale stores in India in 4-5 years.
Walmart Asia President and CEO Scott Price said in a statement, "Walmart is committed to India and we are excited about our growth plans. We will continue to focus on the cash-and-carry format as we are very happy with the way it has shaped up in the last few years." Investigations of violations of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in the Indian arm of Walmart are finished with the firm ensuring they will not be repeated. Price has said the firm is taking a number of important steps to strengthen compliance in order to make certain the firm does the right thing everyday.
Walmart will soon be bringing exciting new shopping opportunities to 1.24 billion Indians in a country which appears to have as much potential growth for retail markets as China. More and more Indians will join tens of millions of American shoppers in seeing it's really worth checking out what Walmart has to offer for as the firm says "Save money, live better!" MandelMall.com offers the opportunity to enjoy shopping at Walmart online.

Federal help for fishermen may get reduced next year. The House Appropriations Committee approved a Commerce, Justice, Science & Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2015 (H.R. 4660) that would slightly increase the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) discretionary funds budget. But the bill would keep it below what the Obama Administration had requested. And it would cut the budget for fishing and related programs.
The Republican-dominated committee reported a bill that would give NOAA's discretionary accounts $5.32512 billion, an increase of only $10.514 million, not enough to keep up with inflation. The administration had requested an increase of $163.615 million.
The committee report became available online on the congressional website on Saturday, May 17, 2014. The bill has been placed on the House Union Calendar so the House can vote on it after it returns from recess. The Senate has not yet written a corresponding appropriations bill.
Of the NOAA budget, $3.22048 billion would go toward its coastal, fisheries, marine, weather, satellite and related programs. The amount includes funding transferred from other funds and amounts to $148.513 million less than what the administration asked for. The National Marine Fisheries Service would get $790.2 million.
The committee report also asks NOAA to provide it with quarterly reports on its stock assessment efforts starting next winter. The reports must describe NOAA's methods for determining stock assessments, the costs of each survey and how the agency incorporates independent data. The committee also ordered NOAA to provide within 90 days of the enactment of the bill a report on how it determines fishing quotas, especially when spikes occur in fishing. The emphasis would be on reported spikes in Atlantic sea bass fishing in 2013.
The bill also would earmark $12 million for cooperative fisheries research. The committee asks NOAA for another report on how it spent its cooperative research funds over the last two years and the uses of the research. The committee criticized NOAA for not using the research fast enough in its stock assessments.

All over the world each country has their own histories that have shaped who their people have come to be, but sadly most of this rich history doesn't reach beyond the shores or into the minds of most people. Thankfully we have places like Ft. Worth's Kimbell Art Museum to keep these important aspects of the world alive and on display for those with an open mind to learn more. Japan is one of those countries that has so much rich and amazing history that it has stepped into the American mindset through martial arts, films, and art.
Of all of their history it is that of the Samurai that seems to intrigue the masses across the board and thanks to the Kimbell Art Museum and the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-Muller Collection you can finally step into the world of these amazing warriors like never before. This collection features over 140 pieces that are beautifully displayed and organized that it will immerse you into their world and if you allow it will take you on a journey throughout the 12th to 19th-entury of Japan. Seeing these pieces in person would be amazing enough, but the attention to detail and respect that was put into this exhibit is second to none. Most of these types of exhibits like to focus more on the weaponry, which is fine, but this one showcases complete armor and the culture that gives it so much more meaning. As you walk through this exhibit you are taken on a journey through time with individual suits of complete armor in glass cases randomly placed throughout the room that allows a 360 degree view and the ability to get close enough to see every single stitch. Other pieces are spread out in larger cases breaking down the undergarments and miscellaneous accessories that accompanied them at any time. While the armor itself is both elegant and beautiful, the real treat comes in the display of helmets that are so creative and well-crafted that it is amazing to imagine the talent of the individuals that made them. There are aspects to the various helmet designs that tell a story and will baffle you on why some choices were made that in turn makes the mystery of this time that much more intriguing.
It's amazing to look at these pieces so closely and to not only see the amount of detail that went into every aspect of each piece, but to think about the way that they would have had to do the work at that time. Knowing that they didn't have the technology to create these helmets and armor is unthinkable when you see the amount of detail they put into them. One of the most impressive displays comes in the form of three life-sized horses that not only feature the fully armored Samurai rider, but also sport their own armor that is like nothing you have likely seen before.
There are a lot of people who just have no interest in history or art, but when an exhibit like this comes along that features both it should be seen by all. It is rare to get to see this many complete pieces of authentic armor outside of books or the silver screen so do not waste this chance to look upon the history of true warriors that put their own history, families, respect, and honor above all else.
Samurai: Armor from the Ann and Gabriel Barbier-‐Mueller Collection runs through August 31st at the Kimbell Art Museum in Ft. Worth.
