Lucky thing people who fly to Aspen are rich
Don't forget to pack your wallet.
Our friends at the Aspen Daily News have been doing some calculating -- and the digits they've come up with are capable of giving a chill to anyone planning a quick ski trip to Aspen this winter. According to writer Andrew Travers, most visitors to the community fly United -- and the majority check three bags. Because United has instituted new fees of $15 for the first bag, $50 for the second and $125 for the third both coming and going, the result is an additional $380 charge per person. That's a big-enough financial bump to give even moneyed Aspen regulars second thoughts, especially considering the sad state of the economy. If word of this gets out, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn may have the slopes to themselves in a few weeks. -- Michael Roberts

Hundreds attend rallies
CTV Saskatoon
Published Friday, December 21, 2012 6:24PM CST
Last Updated Friday, December 21, 2012 7:44PM CST
Several hundred people met in Kiwanis Park in Saskatoon on Friday for an "idle no more" rally.
And several hundred more held up traffic for blocks in Prince Albert, after they joined at the intersection of 15th Street and Central Avenue for a rally in Prince Albert.
Rallies were held across the country – including Regina - over Bill-C45, the government's omnibus bill that among other things removes environmental protection for Canada's waterways – and changes the process of the sale of reserve lands.
Nina Wilson is one of four Saskatoon-area women who launched the movement through Facebook and Twitter. She says it shows the power of social media in engaging people – especially young people.
"They're feeling more empowered than ever before," she told CTV. "Social media is a perfect way to find community all over the world."
Many of those at the rally feel Bill C-45 is about a lot more than just changing some rules.
"We can no longer remain idle," said Dion Tootoosis. "What it does - it begins the groundwork of dismantling the treaties."
Many non-first Nations people also joined the rallies, because they believe the federal legislation goes too far.

Northeastern University School of Law, Boston, MA
by Devon Pryor
Campus life at Northeastern University School of Law is alive with opportunity. The university's law library offers an extensive online catalog, known as NUcat, along with numerous additional resources for conducting research and finding current news and information. The university boasts numerous state-of-the-art recreational facilities offering personal training, group fitness programs, intramural sports programs, club sports programs, and a wide array of exercise equipment. In addition to these more traditional recreational options, students have access to many alternative activities. Stressed students can get pumped up with martial arts classes, including classes in aikido, karate, judo, and tae kwon do. In contrast, they can release tension and foster concentration with tai chi or Vinyasa yoga.
When they feel the need to belong to a group and make a difference in the world of justice and law, students can join any of the school's roughly 25 law student organizations. These include such colorful and dynamic organizations as the Women's Law Caucus, the Queer Caucus, the NUSL Anti-War Society, the International Law Society, the Jewish Law Students Association, the Environmental Law Forum, and the Black Law Students Association. The campus' career services office provides students with counseling, job fairs, recruitment programs, job listings, and a wealth of helpful information to help them make plans for the future. Curriculum requirements include interesting and innovative assignments, such as attorney-supervised cooperative work, a public interest requirement, and a substantial writing project. A variety of clinics, institutes, and special programs are available to students, including the well-known Program on Human Rights and the Global Economy, which held an acoustic music benefit in August of this year. Upon completion of their NUSL educations, students can opt to join the growing Alumni/ae Association to keep in contact with a growing network of successful NUSL graduates.
Even a day out on the town in Boston can be conducive to an NUSL student's education. Prestigious and historic law buildings are found throughout the eastern metropolis, including the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, Massachusetts Superior Court, and other important locales. As well as being a center of history and commerce, Boston features a healthy conglomeration of cultural backgrounds, attracting more than 300,000 students from around the world. Adding to the cultural richness of Boston are a variety of regional and ethnic cuisine restaurants, art museums, Symphony Hall, the Berklee Performance Center, and numerous other venues. Students who have been diligent in keeping up their physical activity may even participate in the nation's longest running marathon, held in Boston.
With its advantageous location and reputation for excellence, Northeastern University School of Law offers the full gamut of educational opportunities to each and every law student admitted, and then sends well-molded legal professionals out into the world to ensure justice and benefit our nation.

Entrepreneurial aspirations for kids remain high, especially among children of business owners
Ravell Call, Deseret News
In today's world and economy, starting a business can be riskier than ever before, but can also come with greater payoff than expected — a entrepreneurial mindset is sinking with children across the country, especially for those with business owners as parents, according to a recent Gallup study.
More than four in 10 fifth- to 12th-grade students in the U.S. say they plan to start a business of their own — 43 percent. The number of kids with entrepreneurial aspirations remained this high throughout 2012, according to Gallup data.
Forty-two percent of the students reported that they "will invent something that changes the world," in 2012, the same percentage that said they would in 2011.
Girls were more likely to say they plan to start their own businesses with 46 percent over 40 percent. However, 45 percent of boys said they will invent something world-changing, in comparison with 40 percent of girls who said the same.
Real-world entrepreneurial experience was a factor leading to more students believing they would open a business — especially those whose parents are business owners, which was about a third of the students.
Of those who were surveyed, 59 percent of kids reported that their school offers classes in how to start and run a business — up from 50 percent in 2011; only 7 percent, however, reported currently interning with local businesses for experience.

Haggis Horns
Authentic James Brown-style 70s style soul-funk with horns and Hammonds a-plenty. Besides their own gigs, they've also been Mark Ronson's horn section. Mr Ronson isn't alone in his high opinion of The Haggis Horns. Over the last few years they have lent their lungs to recordings and live shows for everyone from Corinne Bailey Rae and Amy Winehouse to Nightmares On Wax and Lou Donaldson.

Xie, Yu. "The Socioeconomic Status of Young Male Veterans, 1964-1984." PSC Research Report No. 90-196. November 1990.
From a cohort-aging perspective, this paper assesses the socioeconomic status of young male veterans in comparison to that of young male nonveterans. It is found that veterans gradually come to have higher educational attainment and earn more than nonveterans. The advantages of being a veteran come late and only after the veteran's exit from the military. For socially disadvantaged groups, veteran status has an additional premium either because military experience provides a "bridging environment" or because employers use veteran status as a "screening" device.

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 2-5 The menagerie of this book's title no doubt refers to the animal characters who populate its 12 familiar tales by the most famous authors/collectors of fairy and folk tales. While the powers that many of these animal characters possess could be described as ``magical,'' there is little in either the retelling of the tales or in the accompanying illustrations to warrant such an adjective. The tales found in this collection (``Puss in Boots,'' ``The Ugly Duckling,'' ``The Country Mouse and the Town Mouse,'' and ``The Musicians of Bremen Town,'' among others) already have been included in outstanding story collections and individual picture books, and hardly deserve the insipid retelling they receive here. The mediocre pen-and-ink and gouache illustrations lack a distinct style, falling somewhere uncomfortably between caricature and naturalism. Contributing to the chaos is a blue rule surrounding each tale and crowding the text. With so little to recommend it, this book hardly merits space on any library's shelf. Denise A. Anton, Cornbelt Library System, Normal, Ill.
A Magical Menagerie: Tales from Perrault, Andersen, La Fontaine, and Grimmby Shelia Wainwright, Francis Wainwright

Portland, ORUSA
July 26, 2011
I could live off of fruit, kombucha and hummus! My all-time favorite dishes in Portland are the raw vegan wraps at Proper Eats and the raw pasta at Blossoming Lotus (not sure if they still have it though).
I've been a Vegan for over 4 years now. I stopped eating meat at about age 15 and it took me almost 15 more years to completely stop eating/using all animal products. I've obviously had a lot of relapses but I kept trying. I do it because I think it makes a huge environmental impact, is healthy and because I don't want to participate in exploitation of animals.
Jog, dance, watch films or cartoons, read books and graphic novels, make new friends.
Hi, my name is Anita and I'm a student at PSU and work for the county library. I don't have any Vegan friends yet so I'm really excited to make some!

New York Times bestselling author and social media expert Gary Vaynerchuk shares hard-won advice on how to connect with customers and beat the competition. A mash-up of the best elements of Crush It! and The Thank You Economy with a fresh spin, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook is a blueprint to social media marketing strategies that really works.
When managers and marketers outline their social media strategies, they plan for the "right hook"—their next sale or campaign that's going to knock out the competition. Even companies committed to jabbing—patiently engaging with customers to build the relationships crucial to successful social media campaigns—want to land the punch that will take down their opponent or their customer's resistance in one blow. Right hooks convert traffic to sales and easily show results. Except when they don't.
Thanks to massive change and proliferation in social media platforms, the winning combination of jabs and right hooks is different now. Vaynerchuk shows that while communication is still key, context matters more than ever. It's not just about developing high-quality content, but developing high-quality content perfectly adapted to specific social media platforms and mobile devices—content tailor-made for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, and Tumblr.

Meet the Author
gary vay*ner*chuk has captured attention with his pioneering, multifaceted approach to personal branding and business. After primarily utilizing traditional advertising techniques to build his family's local retail wine business into a national industry leader, Gary rapidly leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine. Gary has always had an early-to-market approach, launching Wine Library's retail website in 1997 and Wine Library TV in February of 2006. His lessons on social media, passion, transparency, and reactionary business are not to be missed!

This book actually DOES live up to the hype. Gary explains the mechanics of the different platforms, which is awesome. I'm more practical and hands-on, so general concepts still leave me confused when it comes time to implement. Thankfully, Gary backs up everything he says with visuals and case studies. But what's really incredible here is that he highlights what TO do and why it works - with examples - but also what NOT to do, along with ads that have made those mistakes. All in all, very solid, practical road map to using the various platforms. I'll be using quite a few of these strategies with my own clients.
Many books hint at what to do, but this book actually shows real world examples of what to do (and what NOT to do, as well). The book was easy to follow, and gave clear examples of what to do to help market in a smart way on today's social media. For some reason B&N won't let me create as pen name, and errors out, so I have to post 'anonymously.' Roland Denzel
Gary did a great job and packed very useful information into a quick read. I learned from it and look forward to implementing some of the lessons.

Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (Kindle Edition)
Once one had got used to the preaching and tract like qualityof parts of this book, it proved an interesting insight into the Vioctorian mind on various issues such as marriage, the solitary woman and how difficult it was for her to make inroads into a life that she was able to dictate.

Netflix's new docu-series tackles a fascinating story of a community college that serves as the final stop for dozens of potential superstars.
A Comic-Con 2016 report from the "Creating Universes" panel, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Len Wein, Bill Prady and Peter S. Beagle.
An opening credit in "A Five Star Life" informs that the film was made "with the support of the Leading Hotels of the World." According to Wikipedia, this is the largest collection of luxury hotels in the world, and they are routinely inspected to ensure they maintain the highest standards. Since this is a film about a hotel inspector, I expected a kids-glove treatment of whatever institution was gracious enough to allow filming. Instead, the inspector in question, Irene (Margherita Buy), never fails to find something wrong at each of the hotels she visited. Yet the hotels are so drop-dead gorgeous that viewers will want to visit them anyway. This proves that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
The stars in "A Five Star Life" refer to the rating system given to hotels across the world. A "five-star" hotel is the height of luxury, an unparalleled travel experience. To test this, Irene shows up as "the mystery guest," inspects the hotel and reports any findings to the hotel manager. If there are too many negative answers to the questions Irene clicks in her laptop, the hotel's rating is in jeopardy.
To guarantee that the best service is provided during the inspection, the hotels try to determine who the inspector is. In an amusing jab at gender expectations, director and co-screenwriter Maria Sole Tognazzi shows a waiter pointing out to Irene the supposed "mystery guest." It's a man with a huge cigar being treated like royalty while Irene has to wait extra time for service. You know what rating Irene's giving this hotel.
"A Five Star Life" shows something not often seen in American cinema, at least in films that aren't police procedurals: It shows an ordinary citizen doing her job. The screenplay nimbly works in other characters, such as when Irene recruits her two nieces to help her test how a hotel treats families. But a large part of "A Five Star Life" is simply Irene doing her job while dealing with the pitfalls of the career lifestyle she has chosen. The geographical and architectural eye-candy, and the constant flow of information on how the job is done, should keep viewers interested. It's a blessing when a movie teaches you something.
There was one lesson "A Five Star Life" seemed in jeopardy of teaching, and the fear that it would be taught speaks to how we as viewers are conditioned by Hollywood movies. Irene's sister Silvia (Fabrizia Sacchi) points out that the fortysomething Irene has no husband and no children. This is not unusual for someone who spends 90% of the year traveling to luxury hotels. Irene loves her job—she's not running from anything nor has she any psychological baggage—but Silvia keeps playing the "no man and no kids" card. As Irene looks at her sister's somewhat dysfunctional family, it appeared that she would "learn" her life was incomplete without a man and some rugrats.
Irene's best friend, Andrea (Stefano Accorsi), looks like the obvious choice for her walk into the sunset at film's end. Their relationship is intriguingly vague for the first half of "A Five Star Life," before it's revealed that he was a former lover. Andrea seeks Irene's advice when he accidentally impregnates Fabiana (Alessia Barela). Fabiana wants to keep the baby, with or without Andrea's assistance. While this development should eliminate an ending where he convinces Irene to quit her job for a more fulfilling life with him, stranger things have happened in movies.
Eventually, "A Five Star Life" has to play out the moment where Irene questions whether Silvia is right about her status. Predictably, it comes after a tragic event shakes her. Not so predictable is how the film gets there. The great Lesley Manville, veteran of several Mike Leigh movies, shows up at a Berlin "Leading Hotel of the World" to engage Irene in friendly banter and discussion. Manville's character, Kate Sherman, has written a book about hypersexuality, gender issues and porn. Sherman's televised book discussion talks about the loss of intimacy, which starts the windmills in Irene's mind turning. This entire subplot is completely out of left field, but Manville is so convincing and interesting that it's less cumbersome than it sounds.
Director Tognazzi gets a great performance out of Buy. She is onscreen for the majority of "A Five Star Life," constantly doing her job even when she's not working. Buy adheres to the compulsiveness of one who lives for the work, and it's fun to watch her notice things that she can't wait to report. There's a feeling of viewer satisfaction when she rips a hotel manager for his hotel's snobbish treatment of a young newlywed couple on their first trip to a luxury hotel. The poor couple's fear of appearing unrefined is so palpable that Irene feels protective of them, a small note of empathy despite her mechanical commitment to the job.
Buy also fares well with her co-stars. She gives off an aunty vibe around her nieces, a sisterly tension around Silvia and a strong urge to keep things platonic around Andrea. The actors complement her nicely, and the film refreshingly allows the viewer to figure details and relationships out as the plot unfolds.
I'll not spoil whether "A Five Star Life" surrenders to a Hollywood "you need a man!" ending, but I will say that Irene is in charge of her big decision, and you may or may not be satisfied. It's a bit cheeky to say "your mileage may vary" in regard to a movie about travel. Your enjoyment will depend on how much you relate to Irene and the job that she does, and whether you like gorgeous hotels and globetrotting from one European city to another. I enjoyed the trip.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

BlackBerry Classic review: Teaching an old dog new tricks
Everyone loves the classics, right?
- Excellent communications hub
- BlackBerry Blend virtualisation software for computers and tablets
- Focus on security
- Awkward form-factor

Physical keyboards are an integral part of BlackBerry's history and now the design trait is back with the Classic. The question remains: is an old-school BlackBerry still relevant today?
When is retro dated?
Parts of the Classic's design feel dated. It borrows an optical trackpad from its ancestry. Five years ago, before capacitive touchscreens were a hallmark of the smartphone, the optical trackpad was a godsend. BlackBerry's implementation of it remains one of the best to date.
There is a 'but' and it's a big one. Touchscreens deem trackpads redundant, and having both of them on the Classic makes little sense. Other parts too feel out of place on a modern smartphone.
A QWERTY keyboard was a big draw for the BlackBerrys of yesteryear. Feature phones asked you to enter text using a keyboard comprised of nine buttons. Having the letters of the alphabet ergonomically arranged made BlackBerry phones the must-have tool for productivity nuts.
All modern smartphones have a virtual QWERTY keyboard. It's there when needed and generously disappears when it's not. The Classic's physical keyboard taxes the multimedia experience because it takes up space that could have been used for a larger screen. Making matters worse is how harsh the keyboard is on fingers. The keys require force and writing anything takes more time than the virtual alternative.
Third party applications shine a light at the Classic's out-of-date form factor. A pop-up warning appears when a non-BlackBerry app is launched for the first time. It warns the application may not support the Classic's QWERTY form factor. Most of them don't.
Application support in general is a sore point for BlackBerry smartphones. The Classic runs BlackBerry's proprietary BB10 operating system, and it belongs to an application ecosystem that is relatively immature. Not finding an application on Google or Apple's replete stores is a rarity nowadays. It happens more often with BlackBerry smartphones.
BlackBerry has partnered with Amazon in an effort to boost the application support for its smartphones, and its support for Android installation files (.apks) helps flesh out the ecosystem.
Unfortunately the frayed application support hurts BlackBerry. Inevitably owners of the Classic — and other devices in the company's ecosystem — will have to search three different app stores before they find the right one.
A tool of productivity
Persevere though and the BlackBerry Classic begins to make a lot of sense for people who have more work than time. BlackBerry's Hub remains a one-stop interface for all notifications. The touchscreen has been implemented well here by making it possible to hide read emails, texts, BBM messages and social network updates, all with the simple pinch of two fingers. An outwards pinch brings the hidden messages back.
Then there's the ace up BlackBerry's sleeve. The Classic makes it possible to reply to all notifications from one work device; not the smartphone, but your work computer.
Firmware called BlackBerry Blend extends the functionality of BlackBerry's Hub to a computer, iPad or Android tablet. Texts can be viewed on a work monitor and replied to with a full sized QWERTY keyboard.
When a work session is finished and it is time to call it a day, simply disconnect the smartphone. The secure virtualisation software will automatically delete any session's history.
Blend is the kind of feature that seals the deal. It is unique to BlackBerry and the ability to seamlessly handle all of your communications from one device is a sure way of being more productive.
A capable mid-range alternative
Anyone considering the Classic should have security and productivity as their primary focus. Otherwise this smartphone will underwhelm.
The screen is a comparatively tiny 3.5-inches. It is in the shape of a square and this means anything in the typical 16:9 widescreen ratio, such as videos and photos, are radically letterboxed.
Photos can be taken at a 1:1 ratio with the rear 8 megapixel camera, and although they will fill the BlackBerry's display, they will look out of place on televisions, tablets and computers. The photos themselves are let down by image noise and a lack of detail in high contrast situations.
Things don't get much better on the inside. A 1.5GHz dual-core CPU is joined by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, although a microSD slot makes it possible to add up to 128GB of memory. The hardware then isn't cutting edge, but it is enough to deliver a smooth experience on the Classic.
Another saving grace is a price significantly less than that or rivalling flagships. Telstra is exclusively selling the BlackBerry Classic in Australia for $504 outright. The only real competition in the low price bracket is from Nokia's Lumia 830.
Outstanding battery life has long been the hallmark of BlackBerry smartphones, and although the Classic is meant to be a throwback to the company's glory days, extraordinary battery performance is missing.
We used the BlackBerry Classic heavily over a three week period, not just for calls and to actively sync with six different accounts, but also for multimedia, such as using the camera, browsing the web, playing music or streaming videos. That's a lot to demand from a 2515 milliamp-hour battery.
Good Gear Guide found the Classic would hold battery for little over 24 hours. This remains a strong result when you consider the smartphone is constantly synchronising a multitude of accounts.
Final Thought
The BlackBerry Classic is both the best and worst of smartphones. It has a serious case of tunnel-vision with only work in mind. People who wake up to a myriad of work emails and texts will find BlackBerry's Hub and Blend software invaluable.
Only one thing costs more than money and that's time, and the Classic may be able to save enough of it to make the investment worthwhile.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What's truly amazing about the nano is that Apple announced it last week, and then rolled out a massive amount of stock into the channel. The Apple store in London was selling them by the bucket load when I bought mine, and I can't see the demand drying up too soon.
Undoubtedly, part of the attraction is the price, at only £139 for the 2GB version (£179 for the 4GB model), Apple has really thrown the cat among the pigeons in the flash based MP3 player market. You'd be hard pushed to find another 2GB flash based player at this price, let alone one with Apple branding and styling, plus a colour LCD screen! My previous favourite flash based player was the Sony NW-E507, which was slim, stylish and sounded great – but the Sony costs more than the nano, and only has half the capacity and doesn't sport a colour screen.
Apple has tweaked the Extras menu on the nano too. There's a world clock now, so if you travel as often as I do, you can quickly find out what the time difference is at your destination. There's also a stopwatch thrown in which is particularly handy, considering that the TrustedReviews office stopwatch has a habit of hiding whenever I need it. There's also a screen lock now, allowing you to secure your nano to stop anyone else using it – this is a great feature for stopping your brother/sister/flatmates grabbing your nano and using it when you're not around!

Exeter hosts gay pride
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
A really good day – at least twice as many people on the march as last year, and great to see such a broad spread of ages among the crowd. It wouldn't surprise me if Exeter Pride outgrows the Phoenix Arts Centre (where the match ended up) next year – it was really packed yesterday after the march.
It's nice to see towns and cities that are not normally associated with the gay scene hosting Gay Pride events. Statistitcally even a modest sized town with 25-30,000 inhabitants will be home to 1,000 LGBT people. Preston in Lancashire will be hosting a gay event as part of it's Guild celebrations later this year. The gay scene in Preston is small with most LGBT people heading off to nearby Manchester and Blackpool to enjoy the scenes there.
Thankfully we dont have one here, we are all liberal and this sort of thing is not welcome.
