text: 620 FXUS63 KEAX 290837 AFDEAX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 337 AM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 .Discussion... Issued at 335 AM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 A MCS pushed into the southern portion of the CWA overnight creating some residual PoPs over the SE portion of the CWA, but is expected to dissipate before sunrise. A weak cold frontal boundary over the IA/MO border will push to the south creating just enough forcing for some isolated showers and non-severe thunderstorms to form over the western CWA. This boundary and associated upper level short wave will move into southern MO by late morning setting the stage for where thunderstorm development will occur Friday afternoon. Most forcing and surface moisture needed for convective development will stay near this boundary leading to the southern counties of the CWA being effected by thunderstorms. There will be weak SBCAPE (700-1000J/kg) and decent 0-6km shear (40-45kts) so there is the possibility of an isolated severe cell developing. A weak upper level short wave and surface trough will push into the NE portion of the CWA Friday afternoon also resulting in a chance for isolated non-severe thunderstorm development. The boundary over southern MO remains stationary for most of Saturday keeping any chance for showers or thunderstorms over the southern counties of the CWA. Overnight Saturday, the boundary begins to lift back towards the NE as a warm frontal boundary with a low level jet developing over SE KS. This boundary will be the best bet for any widespread precipitation as it moves through the CWA. The elevated convection is not expected to be severe, with weak MUCAPE in place over the region as the boundary pushes through. The boundary will continue to push to the NE Sunday afternoon with another round of convection expected over the NE portion of the CWA. Multiple rounds of convection may occur over this region through Tuesday as the boundary stalls in a NW-SE orientation. This may bring some much needed rainfall to the NE region of the CWA. Ridging will start to build into the region Monday on the backside of the frontal boundary increasing heights and temperatures. With a persistent southerly flow Mon-Fri the temperatures increase back into the low to mid 90s with dewpoints in the low 70s. Heat Index values of 100-105F for most of next week are looking more and more likely with little relief until next weekend. && .Aviation...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday Night) Issued at 1202 AM CDT FRI JUL 29 2016 Showers are dying as they move into and through the aviation sites overnight. Expect them to be cleared out of the terminals by the time the forecast takes effect. Short term models hinting at some marginal reduced VSBY at KSTJ, KMCI, and KIXD. There could be a couple hours of 6 to 10 SM VSBY during the sunrise hours, but with lingering clouds and perhaps winds staying up around 5 mph confidence is low in any fog forming. && .EAX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Romanian Cultural Institute's New Mandate Draws Protests in Europe and United StatesBreaking News
Over the past five years or so, the Romanian Cultural Institute has become an important force in global cultural exchanges, promoting writers, artists and especially the critically acclaimed cinema movement known as the Romanian New Wave. But the coalition government that recently came to power in Romania has ordered an end to that international focus as it tightens its political control over the institute, actions that have set off protests among arts groups throughout Europe and the United States.
Under an "emergency decree" handed down on June 14, the institute, a non-partisan entity that formerly reported directly to the president, now responds to a Senate riven by partisanship. Its new mandate: to direct its activities at the Romanian diaspora community. As a result, collaborations with American arts institutions — including Lincoln Center, co-sponsor of an annual Romanian film festival, and publishing houses specializing in translated literature — could be in jeopardy. And in recent days, organizations including the Museum of Modern Art, Film Forum and Melville House have sent letters to the new prime minister and other government authorities, urging them rescind the measure....

A member of the General Services Administration's senior leadership team is set to leave at the end of May for a new job at the White House.
In a May 12 email message to staff, GSA Administrator Dan Tangherlini said Anne Rung, the agency's associate administrator of governmentwide policy, will leave at the end of the month to become a senior adviser at the Office of Management and Budget.
Tangherlini said Rung has been an integral part of the leadership team since her arrival at GSA. She was named associate administrator in June 2013 and had been the agency's chief acquisition officer since May 2012.
Before joining GSA, Rung was senior director of administration at the Commerce Department, where her work earned her an FCW Federal 100 award in 2012.
Christine Harada will replace Rung, Tangherlini said. Harada worked at Lockheed Martin, where she focused on the development and implementation of specialized programs and projects. She also worked at Booz Allen Hamilton and Boston Consulting Group as an expert on data analytics, project management, and business and operational transformation.

text: Consider the video tutorial you just watched. Suppose that we repeat the experiment, but this time we replace the original 56- magnet with a more powerful magnet of the same mass. As you know from experience, the more powerful a magnet is, the more strongly it attracts or repels other magnets or magnetic objects. You have also probably noticed that magnetic forces fall off sharply with distance�two magnets that interact strongly across a distance of millimeters interact more weakly at a distance of a centimeter. (In fact, the strength of the force falls off with the square of the distance.) With the magnet hovering above the base, what will the scale read? The scale has been zeroed (tared) to subtract the weight of the base.

How do I handle asynchronous calls to make sure they do not overlap?
This is my scenario---
I have a loop and within the loop I make a call to a google API and specify a call back function. My callback function processes the results and writes the output to a table.
However I have noticed that the results being written to the table seem to overlap or get mixed up i.e say I call the API at loop counter = 10, the result for loop counter = 10 may appear in the table beside the value for loop counter = 15.
How do I ensure that my callback function does not overlap? My code is written in javascript.
Also can anyone point me to a good and easy to understand documentation on asynchronous calls?

The New York Stock Exchange said its test run of Twitter's initial public offering on Saturday was a success, as the exchange tries to avoid the technical problems that marred Facebook's debut last year.
While the NYSE often does testing on the weekend, this was the first time the exchange conducted a mock IPO. Early Saturday, traders from member firms gathered with NYSE staff to run simulated buy and sell orders, test the flow of those orders and open the stock.
Twitter is expected to go public sometime before the end of November.
"This morning's systems test was successful, and we're grateful to all the firms that chose to participate," NYSE spokeswoman Marissa Arnold said in a statement. "We are being very methodical in our planning for Twitter's IPO, and are working together with the industry to ensure a world-class experience for Twitter, retail investors and all market participants."
Twitter will be the biggest technology IPO since Facebook went public in May 2012. While Nasdaq won Facebook's listing, one of the biggest IPOs in years, the debut was hit with trading delays and order failures. The Securities and Exchange Commission later fined Nasdaq $10 million, the largest sum ever levied against an exchange.
Twitter plans to sell 70 million shares between $17 and $20 each for a possible take of $1.6 billion. Shares will trade under the ticker "TWTR."
This year has been a hot one for IPOs as sharp gains in the stock market have boosted demand for initial public offerings. Over 150 companies have gone public in the U.S. this year, up more than 50 percent from the same period in 2012, according to recent data from IPO tracking firm Renaissance Capital.

Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels appeared last night on The Tonight Show, bringing with them first trailer for Dumb and Dumber To. As you can see, the movie finds pals Lloyd and Harry getting up to their old shenanigans when Harry discovers he has a daughter and Lloyd falls for her after seeing a photograph. Cue the road trip.
Debuting in 1994, Dumb and Dumber helped to propel Carrey's comedic career. The original movie as well as the upcoming sequel were directed by Bobby and Peter Farrelly, who helped usher in the gross-out comedies that became popular at the end of the decade. More recently they've done films like Hall Pass and The Three Stooges.
Dumb and Dumber To, which also stars Kathleen Turner, Laurie Holden and Rob Riggle, opens Nov. 14.
Woah, I haven't seen the original since I was a kid, and never knew Jeff Daniels was in it. My mind is suitably blown.

Let's start this one off with a hearty congratulations to Caitlin Snaring, the 14-year-old from Washington state who last week became the second girl ever to win the National Geographic Bee. Much as I loved the documentary "Spellbound," I think these geography whiz kids are even more impressive than the spelling phenoms.
It was especially great when a reporter asked Caitlin, who didn't miss a single question, if she had guessed on any, and she said, "I knew them all down pat."
So I took this geography quiz online that went with a story on Caitlin (who might become our president one day, save for the fact she might already be overqualified) and I got three of five right -- but totally guessed on two of the correct answers.
Oh, all right. I guessed on all three.
However, I displayed just a little geographic acumen myself last year when someone asked for directions, and I gave them. Which might not sound like much except I was in Sacramento at the time.
How did a Midwesterner do this? Well, it's mostly thanks to all the times I've gone to see the Sacramento Monarchs play, including in the WNBA Finals the past two seasons. I've spent enough time in "Sacto" that it almost seems familiar. At least, I hope the directions were right. I'm probably just setting myself up for getting lost the next time I go.
The Monarchs would like to have us media folks back this postseason. Sacramento -- which has its home opener Saturday -- is led by a new coach in Jenny Boucek but is largely the same group of players that won the WNBA title in 2005 and had a "just missed" runner-up finish to Detroit in 2006.
"We've been close in the past, but I think we're even closer now," said Monarchs post DeMya Walker. "And talentwise, it seems like everybody has really worked on their game and tried to get themselves to a better level. You add that to the fact that we have a team that's very unselfish to the core -- nobody cares who the leading scorer is -- and Jenny is an extension of that. She fits well with the personality of our team."
Yolanda Griffith and Ticha Penicheiro are like those soap-opera matriarchs who just keep showing up on the set. The plot doesn't revolve around them the way it used to -- the "youngsters" carry more of the scenes, er, load -- but they're still the grand dames.
Kara Lawson continues to have the last laugh on anybody who thought she wasn't quick enough to make it in the WNBA. Nicole Powell is still thrilled to be out of Charlotte -- well, especially now, when there's no team there. Rebekkah Brunson is Yo Jr.; Kristin Haynie remains Penicheiro's solid understudy.
Walker is the next most experienced player behind Griffith and Penicheiro, and at 29 is in her prime. We'll get to a lot more on her in just a bit, as she is perhaps the linchpin of the Monarchs' success.
Scholanda Robinson joined the team in 2006 out of LSU. And like the immortal Shakespeare line about a rose by any other name smelling just as sweet, she has played great defense whether her last name has been Dorrell, Hoston or Robinson.
Speaking of names, Adrian Williams used to be "Adrain" but got tired of the misspelling and changed it. She's a veteran but one of the new faces for the Monarchs, who lost restricted free agent Erin Buescher to San Antonio.
Then there's Chelsea Newton, who is not a "new" face but a "renewed" face for Sacramento. She was a rookie starter on the 2005 title team, then was taken by Chicago in the expansion draft.
"When I got the call to say I was leaving, it was heartbreaking at first," Newton said. "Then I started to think about the positive things. It was an opportunity where I could work on my game and be a leader and just try to get better. It was a wonderful experience in Chicago, and I'm glad I went through it."
Just the same, she was even happier when the Sky -- which won five games in 2006 -- traded her back to the Monarchs in March. Newton, being a Rutgers grad, has been known primarily for her defense. She said in her time with Chicago, she worked particularly hard on offense and is a more complete player now for the Monarchs.
"It's a fairy-tale ending almost; you don't see things like this happen often," she said of her return to Sacramento. "Being able to come back and be part of such a great team -- I can't say enough. I smile every day. I'm just grateful to be here."
Walker is also very thankful to be where she is, and believes this could be a key summer in her career. She had her best season statistically in 2005, when she averaged 14.1 points and 5.3 rebounds. But she missed 12 games in the regular season and two in the playoffs with a right knee injury. Then last year, she missed 11 games at the start of the season after giving birth to her daughter.
Walker is one of those players, like Becky Hammon, who didn't get drafted because they were college seniors in 1999, the year all the former ABL players migrated to the WNBA. Walker was assigned to Minnesota, which waived her four days later -- yet another move that Lynx fans can rue in hindsight.
Since then, at Portland and Sacramento, Walker has proven to be a late-bloomer type, which isn't surprising since she really didn't start playing hoops until her freshman year in high school.
At Virginia, she played alongside Boucek but said it's not at all strange or difficult to have her former college teammate as her coach.
"When Jenny and I played together, I was a freshman and she was a senior," Walker said. "And (U.Va. coach) Debbie Ryan fully instilled in us who our captains were, who we had to listen to and who ran the show.
"Now I come into a situation where Jenny again runs the show. It's my job to follow the leader, the same as when I was in school."
(Incidentally, Seattle's Wendy Palmer was also one of the Cavaliers' captains that 1995-96 season but don't expect Walker to show any deference to her on court when the Monarchs face the Storm.)
Walker spent the winter months competing again in Russia, where she'd played in the past. She considers herself more a defensive specialist overseas, but an all-around impact player in the WNBA.
"It's kind of a different role [in Russia], and it allows me to remember where I came from in this league. I came in through the back door as a free agent," she said. "One of the main things I look forward to [in the WNBA] is being in a bigger role, because I worked hard to get there. I'm very comfortable being one of the leaders on this team and being relied on.
"This is a special season for me, and I've really thought about it that way. I can blossom and be the player that I know I can be. I look at 2005 as my standard, because before I got hurt then, I was getting to where I wanted to be. That's my goal: to come out here and work hard and do the little things. Everything else will fall in line."
Of course, we're just getting this season started. It's a long ways down the road, but if everything "falls in line" the way Walker and the Monarchs want it to, I'll be back in Sacramento in a few months. I don't think I'll need a map.

| TheFlowerOfTheCourt chapter 27 . 3/27/2015
*slow clap* thank you. It had me laughing from front to back. It was super cheesy and yet I loved ever bit of it!
| Bakanori chapter 1 . 9/18/2014
Hahaha. Why do wizards ever take the Night Bus, it is bus to beat them up. Kuddos on having Voldemort fall over the railing twice. XD That was amusing.
| MyWayOfLife chapter 17 . 9/4/2013
Most hilarious fanfic I've ever read!
| Ebenezer Edelman chapter 1 . 7/2/2009
Well, to use Ron's words ... Bloody Brilliant!
Laughed my head off (then spent hundreds of dollars on a sewing machine to sew it back on!). Brilliant work, and keep it up.
Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes.
| DictionaryWrites chapter 27 . 4/14/2009
| LilyLunaRose chapter 27 . 3/24/2009
Funny but confusing! HA!HA!HA!
| fanie chapter 5 . 12/21/2008
That story was very very make more! :)
| CrescentSapphire chapter 8 . 10/1/2007
Oh, my various electrical appliances.. This isexactly-I mean, I can't breathe.
Of course it would be easier if I could laugh.
| CrescentSapphire chapter 6 . 10/1/2007
Must... not... laugh
Oh dear lord, it actually hurts.
I am loving all the pointless points!
| Ms. Critic chapter 12 . 9/14/2007
Okay that has to be the funniest chapter! Dumbledore is Santa Claus! Voldemort has a puking problem! The biggest problem is Harry is the stupidest person I have ever read about. Why doesn't Dumbledore do something? Why do the Creevy brothers throw up under Harry's bed? Why do they hide under there in the first place? Why did you steal my line? And it is really, "I feel so pretty I could like just die!" DON'T MESS IT UP AGAIN! Very funny y'all!
| Ms. Critic chapter 11 . 9/14/2007
Okay quite a few mistakes. Definitely, beats, snogging, and too. Very funny! Just as long as Voldemort doesn't send me a Christmas present. I like the Fat Lady even more. Kay, very good, great writers, excellent dialogue, blah blah blah.
| Ms. Critic chapter 10 . 9/14/2007
The funniest part of the chapter was the homework monster. Ew, gross! You should have Harry wrapping his arms around Luna. hee hee. Malfoy is not the brightest...something or other. Yay!
| Ms. Critic chapter 9 . 9/14/2007
Why didn't the killing curse hit Malfoy? That would've saved so much stress in later adventures! FOOD FIGHT! That part was good though. These chapters are short. Go Hagrid. Poor Rooty. Good story!
| Ms. Critic chapter 8 . 9/14/2007
Dumbledore is funny! So is Ron! Why would Mrs. Norris try to eat house-elves? They're too high in fat! She needs to watch herself as she's getting on in years. Oh, and I stopped reading TSG2 because it got lame and boring. This story is better! I mean, I like serious storied, but that one was so boring!
| Ms. Critic chapter 7 . 9/14/2007
Oh that was good. Making Ron curse Malfoy. You need to watch your capitilization. Very funny. But why did Nagi eat Pig? He was my favorite character! I loved it when he almost died eating Owl Treats! Ah, good times. I'm so sad the actual series is over!

17 reviews | 4.9 out of 5
So far I have purchased 10 of these. I own 9 bettas and they all enjoy resting in these little caves. I have yet to have any problem with them, especially because they are far less expensive than most aquarium decor.
I have a 29 gallon tank with 8 African Cichlids in it. I have three of these products (different shapes) in my tank. My fish love them!! They are always hiding in them or swimming through them. This product provides shelter for the fish so they won't become stressed! I only paid $2.17 for each of them. I would recommend this product to anyone with fish!!!
This product is great! I got it about 8 years ago for my sister's corn snake, after the snake died she had no use for it, so into my Betta's tank it went! And let me say, my Betta LOVES it!!! Happy (my Betta) uses it every day and night, when he wants me to turn out his light he goes in it to let me know it's "sleepy-time." Although the picture can be misleading. In the picture it looks like a shiny plastic, when the product is really a ceramic. But luckily the color DOES NOT fade. I would reccomend this to any one with a Betta, and already have.
I wanted something more colorful for my betta fish (his name is Pooppa), and I was so glad when I saw this bargin! I also brought the colorful stones to match, and a new tank (I call it a step up from his old apartment to his new condo), and it really pops out as a show piece. For a couple of days Pooppa had a little hard time adjusting to all the bright colors, but now he loves it!! It's kind of funny because he uses it as his little bedroom...he goes in the little holes at night, and swims around during the day. He is such a happy little camper now! I highly recommend this if you want some color, because like I said, the color really pops!
it looks very nice in the tank
This is just so awesome! I love it. I found mine to be easy to clean and my Goldfish love it. :)
At first my betta fish was scared of it, but now he's always going through it. I think he's sick so this cave makes him comfortable and less stressed. I recommend this to all betta fish owners!
This ornament is really cute and looks great in my fish tank.
P.S. the ornament is ceramic not plastic as how it looks in the picture the ornament does not look exactly as picture but it is good quality
I put this in my betta's 5 gallon fish tank and my betta fish loves it! I recommend this product! It is a nice size and is great for the price.
I have two of these, one for each larger tank, and my bottom feeders love them. I have 2 corys in one tank, and 3 corys and 2 iridescent sharks in the other. They all spend a lot of time in their houses. The only, very minor, complaint I have is that they come in neon colors, but not the colors that I have in the rest of my tank. If they came in different colors they would be even more awesome!!!
After reading the reviews that recommended this product to betta owners I bought one for my betta. It fits perfectly in my 2.5 gallon tank and there is still plenty of room! Although it took my betta a while to explore the new decoration, now he loves it! This product is a fun and eye catching addition to any tank.
I have been using these caves for years. I've had three of them..one for each betta fish I've owned. I will be getting a new fish this summer, and I must say..I will definitely be using this again. The only fish I've used this for is bettas, but they love it.
the structure stays in one place, it does no float
unlike the plastic one i had. My Betta took to it
about 10 minutes after i placed it in the aquarium.
the holes are smooth not rough cut. It has a clay bottom. The one i had before had no bottom.
i bought this product for a fish tank in my daughter's room. wonderful buy. it is very colorful and catches her eye. also great if you have colorful fish. it brightens up the tank and lets them blend in a little better.
My turtles and fish were fasinated by this at first and its was funny to watch. My turtles still climb on it daily.
my fish love it they like to swim in it. It makes my tank look very nice.

PPP's newest North Carolina poll continues to find a close race for Governor, but Pat McCrory has regained a small lead for the first time since the spring. McCrory's at 44% to 41% for Roy Cooper. McCrory has the slight advantage thanks to a 42/33 edge with independents, and because he has a more unified party with 76% of Republicans behind him to 70% of Democrats who support Cooper.
Although McCrory's horse race numbers have improved, he continues to struggle on the approval front. Only 35% of voters are happy with the job he's doing to 47% who disapprove, making it 26 months in a row now that his approval numbers have been in negative territory. Meanwhile 49% of voters say they have no opinion about Cooper one way or the other, with 27% rating him favorably to 24% with a negative opinion. McCrory has a 46/34 lead over the other Democratic candidate, Ken Spaulding.
It's the same old story in the Senate race- Richard Burr continues to have poor approval numbers but leads the potential Democratic candidates who might oppose him. Burr has just a 29% approval rating, with 40% of voters disapproving of him. What really brings his numbers down is how soft he is even with Republicans, who give him only a 47/23 approval spread.
Nevertheless Burr leads the possible Democratic field- it's 42/37 over Heath Shuler, 45/35 over Duane Hall, 45/34 over Deborah Ross, and 46/34 over Chris Rey. Shuler has 35% name recognition, compared to around 20% for the trio of other potential contenders and even if he doesn't run his relative closeness to Burr may indicate the potential for a competitive race once the eventual Democratic nominee does build up some name recognition.
As the General Assembly session dragged on its approval rating got lower and lower. We find just 14% of voters in the state approving of it to 62% who disapprove. Republicans (19/60), independents (13/63), and Democrats (11/63) all give pretty similarly negative reviews to the legislature's work this year. The unhappiness spreads to both parties though with Democrats in the body getting a 34/46 favorability rating, only nominally better than the 32/50 spread for the controlling Republicans. Democrats lead the generic legislative ballot 45/41 which is a decent standing but nowhere close to the double digits leads they were posting toward the end of the 2013 long session. The level of anger just didn't reach the same level this time around.
Only 29% of voters approve of the budget that was passed to 38% who disapprove, although 33% with no opinion one way or the other may be a reality check on how closely voters pay attention to this kind of stuff. Only 22% of voters support the state's move toward partisan judicial elections, with 47% opposed to it. Democrats, Republicans, and independents are all opposed to that change in pretty similar numbers.

ATLANTA -- Stephen Portch, the head of Georgia's university system and a man acknowledged by his peers as perhaps the smartest person in state government, announced Wednesday he's stepping down from his post as chancellor.
In his seven-year tenure, Portch has overseen the advent of the popular HOPE scholarship, increases in admission standards at state universities and the rocky transition to a new semester system.
''This is the month for commencements. It's time for me to graduate, finally,'' Portch told members of the state Board of Regents. ''This will be good for the system. New people have new ideas about old challenges.''
Portch said he was making good on a commitment he made when he was hired in 1994 to serve five to seven years. He said he plans to stay on the job until the board has hired a new chancellor, probably around Nov. 1.
A native of Somerset, England, Portch is responsible for the university system's 34 colleges and universities -- including the flagship University of Georgia, and the system's 200,000 students, 33,000 faculty and staff and $4.3 billion budget.
University officials and members of the General Assembly who worked closely with Portch said he would be missed.
''Steve is not only a professional colleague, but he's become a good friend,'' said UGA President Michael Adams. ''This state is immensely better off because of his work and I'm going to miss having him in this role.''
''You hire a chancellor for leadership,'' added state Sen. Jack Hill, D-Reidsville, chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. ''I think he's more than met our expectations for strong leadership.''
Regents -- with whom Portch exchanged hugs and handshakes after his announcement -- agreed.
''This board ... has done everything in its power to retain Stephen Portch as chancellor of the University System of Georgia,'' said board Chairman Glenn White. ''There are a lot of adjectives I could use to describe my respect for this man ... but all of a sudden they seem inadequate.''
Under Portch, the university system elevated the average SAT score for incoming freshmen from 981 to 1021, introduced the popular HOPE scholarship and developed a wide-ranging strategic plan for the future.
The system also appointed 23 of the state's 34 college or university presidents -- including Adams -- and launched the statewide GALILEO on-line library and secured more than $1 billion in funding for construction.
But some state lawmakers complained about the system's transition to the semester system last year. Portch and other university system officials repeatedly claimed the switch, from the quarter system, would be ''cost neutral.''
It ended up costing the state $47.4 million during the fiscal year that ends June 30, while another $18 million is budgeted for fiscal 2002 to help the system offset the decline in enrollment that accompanied the conversion.
''I think their response is a natural one,'' Adams said of legislative criticism. ''Everybody is striving for the most productivity for the dollar. The people who have raised that issue certainly have a legitimate issue.''
But Adams said the end result -- a better education for Georgia students -- will be worth the costly transition.
''The overall quality for the student has been enhanced,'' said Adams, who said educators believe the semester system allows for better instruction than the quarter system. ''I still think two years from now we will have bounced back.''
Portch, who lives in Newnan with his wife, Barbara, said that despite ''wonderful opportunities'' he's been offered elsewhere, he plans to remain in Georgia and, after taking a one-year educational leave, to continue working to improve education here.
''While I plan to leave the stage as chancellor, I don't intend to walk away from the educational goals of this state,'' he said. ''I have too much invested in the future to do that now.''
That was good news to Gov. Roy Barnes, who has worked with Portch both in his capacity as chancellor and as a member of the governor's Education Reform Commission.
''I don't know that enough people realize all that Stephen Portch has done for Georgia as chancellor,'' Barnes said. ''Our colleges and universities have grown in size, stature and reputation -- drawing students from throughout the state and the nation.
''He has been a great resource to me throughout the education reform process and I'm glad to know that he is willing to continue his relationship with the state of Georgia as we continue to make improvements.''
The state's former governor, Sen. Zell Miller, said Portch ''took higher education to a new and higher level in Georgia. What he is leaving is a system that is the envy of the country.''
Stephen Portch
Age: 50
Born: Sept. 11, 1950; Somerset, England

Occupation: Chancellor of University System of Georgia since 1994
Education: University of Reading, bachelor's degree in English; Penn State, master's and Ph.D. degrees in English

His duties
With 34 public colleges and universities, the University System of Georgia is the fourth-largest in the nation. Here are some of the chancellor's duties:
Develop and present the University System's budget request to the General Assembly.
Manage the system's budget through policies and audit procedures.
Review and approve programs, coordinate faculty and staff development and evaluate institution performance.
Monitor trends in higher education and plan for the system's future.

Comments about ''Stay with us,' new LDS website urges gay Mormons'
- Oldest first
- Newest first
- Most recommended
Warm and fuzzy websites will not repair the damage in the relationship between
Mormons and gay and lesbian Americans. Ending discrimination will.
The Mormons could start by ending their blackmail of the Boy Scouts of America. The Mormons have held the Scouts hostage to their theological beliefs by insisting on the expulsion of gay men and gay teens. At a time of epidemic suicides of gay teens, this borders on criminal.
We are a two-dad family, both former Scouts, and would love to have our son join the BSA. But thanks to Mormon intransigence liberals flee and corporate funding dries up. Soon we will rename it the Boy Scouts of Mormons, Southern Baptists, and the Catholic Hierarchy.
I quote Lord Baden Powell, the gay Englishman who founded the Boy Scouts:
"Buddha has said: 'There is only one way of driving out Hate in the world and that is by bringing in Love.' Scouting's aim is to produce healthy, happy, helpful citizens, of both sexes, to eradicate the prevailing narrow self interest, personal, political, sectarian and national, and to substitute for it a broader spirit of self-sacrifice and service in the cause of humanity."

Can I say that relationships are more than sex. That is just part of it. Everyone who who is in a relationship should know that. I have friends who went back to the Church. One is married. I know that for different reasons, that is what they had to do. They pay a heavy price! There are many ways to deal with it. I was raised in the Church and being honest meant that I shouldn't deceive somebody. There was no way for me to hide and even now, it would not be a good thing for me to do what they want. No, I can honestly say that it would kill me! Being gay is no accident! I have been happy with my partner. It has always felt right! The sadness has come from the loss I feel from losing friends and from having people view me as something less than I am. Before people knew, they openly talked about spiritual things. After, I could see the very moment that they tune me out. What should we expect? Leave room to bend! I don't know if I will ever feel like I once did about the Church.

Off course they want LBGT's to stay with the church, they need to keep collecting their tithing so they can keep financing Luxurious constructions like the City Creek while destroying The Olympic Legacy Plaza.

Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: What It Is
Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 is a collection of 200 recipes, all under 200 calories. Author Lisa Lillien, founder of the popular Hungry Girl web site and newsletter, is a self-described "hungry girl" who loves food but doesn't want to gain weight.
Like her web site and newsletter, this Hungry Girl cookbook is aimed at everyday people who often turn to processed foods for convenience, with advice on how to go about it a little more healthfully. Along with its easy-to-make recipes, Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 features kitschy blurbs, helpful tips, lots of illustrations, and 16 pages of color photos.
Lillien, neither a dietitian nor a chef, has devoted her career to finding tasty reduced-calorie foods and to tasting and creating easy, fun, low-calorie recipes. She launched the "Hungry Girl' web site and newsletter in 2003, and now has an estimated 700,000 subscribers.
Like many women, Lillien has long struggled with her weight. She tried multiple diets until she finally found success with Weight Watchers (she provides Weight Watchers points tallies for all her recipes).
The secrets to Lillien's success are her everywoman style -- and her taste buds. "I can taste something and know if this will be something everyone will love or only 20% of the people," she says.
Although dietitians would generally recommend a more natural, less processed diet, Lillien says that's not always realistic for everyone.
"I wanted Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 to be fun, realistic, and relatable for all the women who are diet-conscious but need to bridge the gap between the ideal healthy diet and the over-the-top junk food diet," Lillien says.
Hungry Girl 200 Under 200 is loaded with references to branded products, but Lillien says she endorses only products that meet her criteria of good taste plus acceptable calorie levels.
Hungry Girl 200 Under 200: The Recipes
This is an easy-to-use cookbook, delivered in a witty, fun style that might help get non-cooks into the kitchen. Most of the recipes are for simple-to-prepare mini-meals or snacks that combine convenience foods available in your neighborhood grocery store.

Discussion and debate with Joe Duffy.
Liveline listeners discuss the plan by Luke Ming Flanagan TD to table a Private Member's Bill in the Dail in April in support of cannabis legalisation.
Jacqui was listening to the interview with Luke Ming on the Marion Finucane show at the weekend. She says it is a disgrace on one hand that the government are putting new health warnings on packets of cigarettes and on the other hand a TD is campaigning to legalise cannabis.
Grainne Kenny, Hon. President of EURAD also wanted to express her dismay at this proposed bill. Surely the hard pressed tax payers are entitled to proper standards in our elected representatives whose salaries are paid from our over taxed incomes. The good people of Roscommon who stood in the snow to protest against the influx of headshops there are ill served by this TD.
We had several callers who supported the legalisation of cannabis, many used it for medicinal purposes.
Luke Ming Flanagan also joined the programme to reiterate his views.

All Rise...
Judge Brett Cullum finds ten movies that make you want to march and wave rainbow flags.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Blu-ray) (published July 4th, 2011), The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert: Extra Frills Edition (published June 18th, 2007), The Birdcage (Blu-ray) (published September 16th, 2014), Boys Don't Cry (published June 26th, 2000), The Children's Hour (1961) (Blu-ray) (published October 9th, 2014), Imagine Me And You (published June 8th, 2006), Kissing Jessica Stein (published September 17th, 2002), La Cage Aux Folles (1978) (Blu-ray) Criterion Collection (published September 10th, 2013), and The Object Of My Affection (published January 24th, 2002) are also available.
The Charge
Ten films to celebrate gay pride!
The Case
The Cinema Pride Collection gathers together ten of the best GLBT films in the MGM library, and packages them all together in a cardboard slip case that sports rainbow colors. Is it worth being proud of? Certainly! It's a solid gathering of important queer films including six comedies, four dramas, and a parade of big stars and Oscar winners as well as quiet indie flicks that caught lots of attention. When viewed as a whole it's a documented journey that shows us how far the movement has come in fifty years. You start off with a black and white film that never even says the word "lesbian" or "gay," and nine movies later wrap it up with a comedy where the lead girl's mother actually approves of her girlfriend encouraging her lifestyle. You see gay go from painful hushed secret to flamboyant celebration, but all along the way are reminders that prejudice is still something we have to fight. These ten films are only available all together at Amazon as of this writing, so let's take a look at why you should show your pride and click the link in the upper right hand corner to buy.
Spoiler Alert! I'll be discussing the endings of the films below.
#1 The Children's Hour (1961)
Technically things are okay. The DVD included is a feature-only edition with the film and no extras, save for a vintage trailer. The black and white picture transfer is just fine with nice contrast levels. Sound is a simple mono and clear enough.
#2 La Cage Aux Folles 1979
Technically we have another simply okay disc, and a VHS-level image. The DVD has only the feature with a vintage trailer, so no supplements. The transfer shows the film's age often looking soft and more than a little grainy. There are specks and scratches on the print, yet it still looks charming enough to feel worth watching since it recalls a more primitive time. Sound options include the original French with English subtitles as well as the English dub for those who wish to not read their films. In an interesting move, most of the original French cast dubbed their own characters for the English language track. It's not quite as dreadful as these things usually are.
#3 My Beautiful Launderette (1985)
Technically it mirrors the previous two offerings. The DVD is a no-frills affair with the film and a vintage trailer. The transfer looks old and faded, rather dingy to say the least. Colors are washed out quite a bit, black levels are not deep, and the grain washes over everything. There is a two channel mono mix for the dialogue, and it is tinny and sometimes muffled. It is need of some polishing, but it's here.
#4 The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994)
This DVD edition only features the film with a good enough transfer and nice soundtrack emulation. It is the bare bones first release, and not the superior, enhanced, deluxe version that hit store shelves more recently. Colors pop appropriately, although it looks overly dark and a bit aged. There are no extras, save for the theatrical trailer. It seems a pity to offer the less fabulous version, but there you are.
#5 The Birdcage (1996)
Technically things are just okay again. The DVD is a flipper disc with a widescreen transfer on one side and a fullscreen on the other. The visual quality is pretty good with nice color saturation and a crisp clear image. Audio is five channel surround which is also well done. There are no extras, save for the predictable trailer.
#6 Bent (1997)
The DVD is a bare bones edition with only the trailer as a supplement. Yet the transfer is nice enough with clear images and saturated colors. Sound is a simple stereo.
#7 The Object of My Affection (1998)
The treatment is actually better on this one. The DVD actually has a making-of featurette! There is a special feature for once, someone pick my jaw up off the floor. It's about three minutes long, but talking heads never looked so good after six bare bones DVDs. The transfer is okay, although it does look a little underwhelming and flat. Sound is a full surround mix, and it makes the film pop audibly.
#8 Boys Don't Cry (1999)
The DVD comes with a making-of featurette, a director's commentary, and a collection of trailers. It's the loaded disc of the collection so far! Actually, this one deserves the most extras as it is probably the most accomplished film in the set when we look at how much it achieves. Visually, the film is dark, but looks good on DVD. Sound is a nice dramatic full surround treatment.
#9 Kissing Jessica Stein (2001)
The DVD is another packed to the rafters one. It includes deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, and two commentaries including a director one and actresses one featuring both the lead and her love interest. The film itself looks good, although the budget limitations show up in the visual presentation. Sound options include a full surround five speaker treatment which does great with the dialogue and music.
#10 Imagine Me & You 2006
This disc is stuffed. It's another loaded DVD with a director's commentary and filmmaker and cast Q&A session. Picture is perfectly fine with a very clean transfer that does well with recreating the film on the small screen.
The Cinema Pride Collection is hardly balanced, when you consider six of the films are about gay guys, three are about lesbians who aren't always committed lesbians, and only one deals with a transgender individual. So the girls get short shrift as do those who question gender identity. Yet we can still say that these DVDs do a certain justice, providing us with a nice history of the celluloid "out of the closet" images on the big screen. We've come a long way, and these films prove it. The only downside is, if you're a member of the GLBT community and a cinema fan, don't you own most of these already? If you do, be proud; you've beaten them to the punch. But for the rest of you pride slackers, here's your chance to catch up and ride our float in the parade.
The Verdict
Not Guilty.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Cinema Pride Collection a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

I should be going to this really shouldn't I, everyone at work is. If we didn't have a birthday bash in London right in the (Saturday night) middle of it I think I would.
Thanks to kentonline.co.uk. Get your tickets here, or remember there might be bargains on ebay

Over to you, discussion about something local, but Please be thoughtful... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask a question, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become.
