Since I was a freshman in high school, it has been my dream to work for a Fortune 500 company. I remember being in a dentist office, picking up a Forbes Magazine and telling my mom it was going to feature me one day. As a first-generation college student coming from a single-parent home, I had no clue what the inside of a corporation looked like, how it worked or how I would get there. All I had was determination to succeed, passion to learn and a desire to get ahead.
I worked hard through high school and was accepted into Georgia Tech where I am heavily involved on campus. I was also accepted into a national program called INROADS which seeks to prepare underserved students for the corporate world by assisting in personal and professional development. The program helps align students with internships to fit their educational background and career goals.
When I first came to the UPS office for my interview, I was blown away. It was lunch time and a Final Four event and a blood drive were going on outside. There were plush-leather chairs, fancy art work, security at every entrance point and beautiful wood paneling everywhere. "This," I thought, "is the corporate world." Everyone was milling around going about his or her day but they were genuinely excited to be here and I could feel it. It was my first experience within a corporate environment and I was hooked. I was with my family when I received the official-offer call from UPS and as excited as we all were, my mother cried.
I still have the honeymoon feeling that started with my first visit and as I near the end of my internship, I realize that it is not leaving. People ask me about my internship experience and without hesitation, I tell them I absolutely love it. I'm learning new things every day and growing both personally and professionally. As an intern for UPS, I feel valued. I'm not making copies and getting coffee; I'm playing an integral role within my team on an important ongoing project and my results are tangible and visible.
I have been given the opportunity to experience many aspects of the company from visiting a hub to riding along with a package car driver as well as an accompanying an account executive. These experiences not only gave me a great perspective on the scope of the company, but also a peek into the spirit of the UPSer. From drivers to senior leadership, the essence of camaraderie and focus on integrity and honesty runs deep through the company. I had no idea that people could actually enjoy their jobs as much as they do here. Not every day is a walk in the park but the attitudes, expectations and actions of everyone here contribute to such a positive environment.
As a UPS intern this summer, I have learned a lot. Being able to apply what I have learned in the classroom to my projects has been incredibly rewarding but I have learned more than just business acumen. If I had to narrow down my experience into a few takeaways, it would have to be the benefit of feedback, the concept of value and the importance of integrity. These lessons seem to permeate through UPS's business strategy and will forever play a huge role in my career and the way I will personally hold myself accountable.
As I sit in my cube inside of UPS headquarters in Atlanta, ranking number 53 on the Fortune 500 list, I no doubt feel incredibly blessed and accomplished. I'm not quite UPS CEO, Scott Davis, yet but this internship is definitely a step in the right direction.

Hello group.
I need advice.
I have this InterJak 200 router, and I have this Linksys Etherfast (supplied
with my ADSL-subscription), what to choose...
The InterJak 200 is propably older than the LinkSys, but I like it. I like
the hardware and the interface, allthough the firmware is outdated.
I am not a hardware/router expert, thats why I am askin..
Is it stupid to reconfigure my home network to evolve around this InterJak
or should I continue use the LinkSys (which seems to be working fine). And
what about security and speed?

|Flux-Pinning of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 High Tc Superconducting Tapes Utilizing (Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41 and Sr2CaAl2O6 Defects
|Date Unknown
|Efforts to improve the magnetic flux-pinning properties of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu208 +δ /Ag (2212/Ag) tape conductors utilizing (Srd1-x^Cax)14Cu24041+δ (014x24) and Srd2^CaA1206 (03A12) defects are described. Precursor powders with composition (2212 + N vol% Sr10Ca4Cu24041+δ ; N = 0,7,15) were prepared by the solid-state method to obtain X-ray diffraction (XRD) subsolidus phase equilibrium at 860 C. Nanophase (10 nm to 20 nm) Al203 was added (1.1 wt%) to N = 0 and 15 fully reacted powders. Brush-on coated tapes (13 m to 17 m 2212 thickness) were processed by a partial-melt growth method in air with variable melting from 865 C to 890 C, and slow-cool recrystallization from 856 C to 847 C. The effect of different melt temperatures and compositions on film properties (phase assemblages, orientations, and compositions, and defect sizes) was studied by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Higher N increased the amount of (Sr1-xCax)Cu02 +δ (01 x 1) and 014 x 24 defects observed in processed films. Addition of 1.1 wt% A120^3^ for N = 0, 15 powders and melt temperatures (870 C to 900 C) tested had two main effects: (1) A1203 reacted within {less than or equal to} 0 min to 4 min after melting to produce defects with primary composition Sr2CaA1206 + δ , as verified by XRD and EDS, and (2) dramatically shifted the phase assemblages toward increasing 014x24 and decreasing 01 x 1 defects. The 03A12 defects increased to 1 m to 5 m size by coarsening with increasing melting temperatures ({approximately equal to} 880 C to 895 C). Magnetic critical current density (Jc) of (N = 15 + alum powder) tapes showed improvement for 1T applied fields in the 20 K to 30 K range. Transport Jc (4.2 K, 0 T) of N = 15 and N = 15+alum composition tapes were {approximately equal to} 30 % and {approximately equal to} 5 %, respectively, of N = 0 tapes.

WASHINGTON — Seeking momentum on the eve of a crucial meeting on health care reform, congressional Democrats on Wednesday seized on evidence that California's largest for-profit health insurer spent tens of millions of dollars on lavish corporate retreats and executive salaries even as it planned dramatic rate hikes for nearly 800,000 customers who buy coverage on their own.
Executives at WellPoint, the parent company of Anthem Blue Cross of California, came under fire at a House hearing after internal e-mails and other documents suggested that the company systematically works to curb how much it spends on medical claims, while prodding sicker patients into stingier plans with greater cost-sharing. The showdown was sparked by Anthem's plan to raise rates for its roughly 800,000 customers in California's individual market by as much as 39 percent, starting in May.
One day before a bipartisan health care summit that could prove critical to the fate of President Barack Obama's health reform plans, Democrats on a House panel took a populist tack, contrasting what they portrayed as the extravagant lifestyles of insurance executives with customers facing ever-rising costs.
"Corporate executives at WellPoint are thriving," said House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, "but its policyholders are paying the price."
WellPoint executives responded that the firm is subject to the whim of larger forces in the health care market, such as higher charges by hospitals and drug companies. The slumping economy has prompted many healthy customers to drop their coverage, they said, leaving the company with little choice but to raise rates for those who remain on the rolls.
"There is so much misinformation about what is driving these premium increases," WellPoint President and CEO Angela Braly told the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.
But the e-mails and documents obtained by the committee gave Democrats ammunition to question the company's motives. One e-mail written by a WellPoint vice president in October stated that a premium increase averaging 23 percent would "return CA to target profit of 7 percent." Others referred to creating slimmed-down policies (called "downgrade options") as a way to retain customers turned off by premium hikes.
WellPoint said it wound up targeting a profit margin of 2 percent, which it described as reasonable. Scaled-back policies, the insurer said, represent an effort to keep coverage affordable.
WellPoint was also put on the defensive by documents showing it paid 39 executives more than $1 million in 2008 and spent more than $27 million on 103 executive retreats in 2007 and 2008. Among the destinations were a Four Seasons Resort in San Diego and a resort in Manele Bay, Hawaii. Braly said the functions were "meetings for our customers," including brokers and agents, and that the company is doing what it can to keep costs in check for subscribers.
"We're fighting every day to make sure we can make their health plans more affordable," she said.
Despite the firestorm of criticism, Anthem representatives said this week they plan to move ahead with the rate increase — averaging 25 percent but as much as 39 percent for some customers — for about 800,000 Californians enrolled in individual plans, as opposed to group plans provided by employers. State Insurance Commissioner and gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner is reviewing the proposed rate hike but is mostly powerless to stop it.
The firm's rate hike proposal has become a political football in the health care debate. Obama this week used it to justify his new plan to give the federal government power to block health care premium increases that are deemed "excessive" — an idea floated a few days earlier by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
Democrats said steep rate hikes in California and other states demonstrate the need for sweeping health care reform. Obama says his plans would keep premiums in check by bringing most Americans into the market — healthy and ill — with a mandate to buy insurance. That would spread costs more widely, he argues.
But the insurance industry remains opposed, saying the requirement to buy coverage isn't strict enough. The industry fears that it will be forced to accept people with pre-existing conditions without any assurance that those costs will be balanced out by healthy subscribers.

Snorkelling in Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park
Made by cybercar4u
Hoi Ha Wan (Chinese: 海下灣) or Jones Cove is a bay at the north of Sai Kung Peninsula. It is a marine park in Hong Kong. The location has a high biological value, as it shows a high degree of biodiversity. That is because the Park is a sheltered bay with pristine water quality, so that it provides a good marine environment for housing a great variety of marine organisms. Numerous kinds of corals can be ascertained under the sea, and it is a hot spot for diving. So as to keep the local ecosystems away from human intervention, fishing, particularly bottom trawling and uses of dynamites or poisons like cyanides, collecting sea products and corals are prohibited by law. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoi_Ha_Wan

All Along the Watchtower
by Bob Dylan
Analysis: Tough-O-Meter
(4) Base Camp
The language in this song couldn't be more simple, with nary an SAT word in sight. On the other hand, the joker and the thief talk in riddles, like a secret code only they can understand. For example, when we hear "the hour is getting late," we don't know whether to run for the nearest fall-out shelter or whether it's just time to look for someplace to sleep. But most importantly, it's a song! If you're tired of thinking about the lyrics, just pay attention to the melody.

Carrie, Vince Sing For Home Team Hockey Fans
Carrie sports her hubby's hockey sweater.
Only in Nashville might a country great like Vince Gill play for fans between periods of an NHL hockey game.
And only in Nashville would a red-hot country superstar like Carrie Underwood join him on stage for a couple, including "Cowboy Cassanova".
Carrie was sporting a Nashville Predators jersey with her hubby's name—Fisher—on the back.
Before the Predators-Ducks playoff game started, Jo Dee Messina sang the anthem.
All that star power wasn't enough to lift the hometown team: The Preds lost, 6-3.
Quipped Preds fan Dan Wilson: "I think Little Jimmy Dickens was in goal for us."

What do foreclosure prevention, civil rights activism, and youth leadership have in common? Residents of Western Massachusetts will have the chance to find out on Monday, January 16, when AFSC hosts its 28th annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day celebration in Northampton, MA.
Among the speakers will be 14 year old Kalimah Dunwell. When Kalimah's parents lost the jobs they'd held for years, they also lost their home to foreclosure last year. After several months of unemployment, they both found work, but it seemed too late. The bank was ready to evict them.
Thanks to the Dunwell family's organizing with the Springfield No One Leaves Coalition, of which AFSC is a founding member, the Dunwell family was able to stay in their home while seeking to either buy it back or remain as rent-paying tenants. More than 80 families in similar circumstances have been helped by coalition efforts in the past year. The coalition was also instrumental in developing some of the strongest foreclosure prevention legislation in the country in Springfield, MA this past year.
Kalimah Dunwell and her family were not just assisted by community actions. They were also part of making them happen. Kalimah started attending No One Leaves meetings with her father nearly a year ago. She is one of several youth leaders who have been stepping up and speaking out in efforts to turn the tide of the foreclosure crisis.
"We are lucky to have Kalimah talk about the bank tenant movement in Springfield – a movement that she is helping to build," says Jeff Napolitano, program coordinator for AFSC of Western Massachusetts. "Her example is why we believe another world is possible."
Dr. King spoke to the ways in which the peace movement, the civil rights movement, and work for economic justice were all part of the same struggle. AFSC, too, works in the understanding that only when root causes of injustice are addressed can peace be sustained, and that violence and war are inherently unjust.
As we celebrate Dr. King's birthday, we'll also be celebrating the youth leadership, nonviolent action, and organizing efforts that keep his spirit alive in our communities today. (See links below for details about MLK events in Northampton, MA and Manchester, NH.) From Kalimah's efforts to help people stay in their homes to the youth leadership in the Occupy movement, that spirit is well represented in Western Massachusetts.

Time to "sell" regulators on your compliance program?
So it has come to this: Effective compliance now depends on marketing your program to regulators, who hopefully will buy that you're doing everything you can possibly do on this front.
Wither fingerprint biometrics already?
Fingerprint authentication hit the mainstream in a big way as part of the latest iPhone launch, but already some are pronouncing it dead as an enterprise tool. The Chaos Computer Club wasted no time in compromising the system, even issuing a press release that touted it "successfully bypassed the biometric security of Apple's TouchID using easy everyday means. A fingerprint of the phone user, photographed from a glass surface, was enough to create a fake finger that could unlock an iPhone 5s secured with TouchID. This demonstrates – again – that fingerprint biometrics is unsuitable as access control method and should be avoided."
XBRL, the solution to Fatca compliance?
When people think about XBRL, they think about the filing of financial statements with the SEC. To be sure, the larger success of XBRL in this vein has been the subject of lots of debate, with more than a few voicing disappointment that the promised benefits to companies and the investor community haven't quite materialized. Many companies regard the filing standard quite cynically, a sham requirement.
Case study: Gulfport's controversial disclosure
Are there times when disclosure is not enough? Of course there are. And for a glimpse of the issues, we can turn to Gulfport Energy, which allowed its former chairman to earn equity stakes in quite a few of the companies that do business with the Oklahoma energy concern. These stakes, worth millions, raised some suspicions, as some, notably Reuters, questioned their propriety.
One tough regulatory and compliance job
If you are brought into an organization as a compliance executive, the expectations will always be high. If you have a big name, the expectations will be even higher. Which means that if you stumble, it will be all the more noteworthy.
A new direction for FierceComplianceIT
Beginning soon, FierceComplianceIT will assume a new identity as FierceCFO, an essential publication for all CFOs and financial professionals.
The compliance big picture at JPMorgan
JPMorgan has announced, via a letter to employees, a massive overhaul in its GRC operations. In 2013 alone, it has hired 3,000 for GRC-oriented purposes. When all is said and done, the bank will have added 4,000 for these critical functions, spanning risk, compliance, legal, finance, technology, oversight and control and audit.
Stronger compliance since Lehman implosion
The 5th anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers has produced a cornucopia of media analyzing every aspect of the historic event and how it has led the financial services industry to where it is now. Much of the GRC-oriented coverage has related to JPMorgan Chase, which (ever media savvy) has sought to make clear to the world that it has turned a new leaf.
The number one IT compliance threat is …
There are plenty of options. You might argue that cloud computing represents the biggest challenge; same goes for BYOD and mobile issues. How about network security or advance persistent threats?
Growing doubts over mobile compliance
We've suggested that the frenzy to embrace a variety of mobile technologies has run ahead of the compliance effort. These programs were often rolled out so fast, to the applause of employees, that in more than a few cases they let compliance and security go lacking.

The Trucker Staff
Members of the Truck Safety Coalition strongly rebutted the American Trucking Associations' release of a study on Feb. 12th that showed 81 percent of crashes were the fault of car drivers compared with 27 percent where truckers were assigned factors.
"We were appalled to see the American Trucking Associations (ATA) renew its fallacious attack on victims of truck crashes," the letter stated regarding the release of multiple studies. "There is no scientific basis for the allegation that passenger vehicle drivers are the major reason for truck-car fatal crashes – there are no data and no studies which have shown this to be true. Nevertheless, the ATA recently issued this so-called report which rehashes and misuses old studies in order to blame the drivers of passenger vehicles for causing most two vehicle crashes between light passenger vehicles and large trucks."
The letter was addressed to Bill Graves, ATA president and chief executive officer, and Dan England, who was listed as chairman, despite Michael Card taking over the post in October 2012. Others "CC-ed" in the letter (indicating it was possibly emailed) included U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representative committee members involving transportation and to Anne Ferro, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Each of the 16 signatures on the letter included a brief synopsis of a relative that had been killed by the negligence of a truck driver. The coalition, which focuses on truck-crash victims and educating lawmakers and the public to make the roadways safer, is a partnership with advocacy groups The Citizens for Reliable and Safe Highways (CRASH) Foundation and Parents Against Tired Truckers (PATT). Members who signed the letter included Daphne Izer, founder of PATT, and Jane Mathis, a board member of PATT and a member of FMCSA's Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee.
ATA's release cited studies from the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute, two studies from FMCSA that cited data from 2007-2009 and a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study from 2003.
An FMCSA study was cited, which included the following data: In 2007, 85 percent of cars were assigned driver factors versus 26 percent of trucks; 2008, 85 percent of cars were at fault versus 26 of trucks; and 2009, 81 percent of cars were at fault versus 22 percent of trucks.
The letter criticized the ATA for the "unscientific rehash and misuse of old studies," claiming the UMTRI report that compared 81 percent of car drivers responsible for crashes versus 26 percent of truckers was from 1998-99. The full study by ATA does cite the reports from the late 1990s, stating it was "one of the most exhaustive studies of U.S. fatal car-truck crashes."
The letter also cites various studies that contradict ATA's findings, ranging from 1986 to 2003.
"As you well know, in 2010, 3,675 people were killed and 80,000 more were injured in truck-related crashes on U.S. highways," the letter stated. "Fatalities in large truck crashes increased in 2010 by nearly nine percent, and then increased once again in 2011, while overall traffic fatalities decreased during both years."
The letter cited current figures from the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) that while large trucks only account for about 4 percent of the national fleet, they are involved in about "13 percent of all passenger vehicle occupant deaths."
"The ATA, however, continues to engage in the 'blame game,' asserting that about seven out of ten deaths resulting from truck-related crashes are the fault of passenger vehicle drivers," the letter stated. "This claim has repeatedly been shown to be false, is based on misuse of past studies and data, and has been openly rejected by DOT and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)."
The letter also added: "It is long past time for the ATA, and the trucking industry as a whole, to stop the cruel public relations game of shifting attention away from the unacceptable death toll caused by big trucks on our nation's roads."
Graves said along with the initial release of the report that "every crash and every fatality and injury suffered on our nation's highways is a tragedy."
"But it is also tragic that carriers and drivers across this country are saddled with guilt and blame for many crashes they could do nothing to prevent," Graves added.

Rasull Soon a.k.a. BlueMonk is a seeker of spirituality and has a keen sense of expressing it through music. When he was in his early teens he bought his first guitar and started strumming and singing his favorite tunes. He is a self taught musician in respect of learning the art of music. Shortly after he studied classical guitar and this helped in furthering his knowledge of music theory and structure.
Spiritual endeavor, music creativity and a broad understanding of electronics has always been a way of life and passion for Rasull and these three competencies have molded and shaped him into the artist he is today. He studied microprocessor electronics after leaving school by attending a technical college and worked as an electronic technician as a career for several years. His enthusiasm in electronics as a hobby led him to experiment and build effects for his guitar, make a simple keyboard synthesizer and drum machine so he could play accompaniments and begin the art of composing and arranging.
In 1984 he was offered the job of keyboardist in a local band and took it without hesitation. This acted as a pivotal turning point in his career and he has not looked back ever since. During his years of performing he has also played as a session musician for many local recording artists in Malaysia. He composed his first composition entitled 'Let there be Light' and it was subsequently selected for the finals of The World Peace Song Kite Festival held in Malaysia in the mid eighties and was nominated as first runner up in the competition. Along the way he has submitted other solo and joint compositions for a local TV station and also national theme anthems. He received a letter of appreciation from Hyatt Regency Saujana Kuala Lumpur for outstanding performance and dedication that contributed as a key factor in them receiving The Millennium Gold Award 2001/2002.
In 1998, he stopped performing live and ventured into music production with a prominent Jingle and recording studio, Betarecs , for three years. During that time his composition abilities developed and improved tremendously. He composed hundreds of TV and radio commercial jingles and numerous songs for a few local artists. He also received the bronze award for best sound design in Malaysian Video Awards in year 2000 and a gold in 2002. During these years at the production house, he had used computer based hard disk recording technology – Digital audio Workstations, worked with samples and loops on his composition works.
In 2005 he ventured into new age and electronic ambient music and showcased them on several promotional websites. In early 2008 his music was heard by John Rawsthorne of Ninewells Music and two meditation music projects were discussed. John had been working with renowned Indian bansuri composer and player Rajendra Teredesai so a collaborative alliance was formed that has produced three albums in 2009… Divine Dimension, Path of The Divine and Enlightened Love. It was a complete break through for him as his inborn spiritual seeking personality finally found a meaningful foundation where he could express actually express his inner passion in creating music that he loved and cherished the most.. Working with John and Rajendra has opened up new dimensions of creating, composing and arranging high quality professional meditation music that is often overlooked or taken for granted in majestically tranquil, calm and beautiful gems of musical composition.
In June, 2011, Rasull signed with Real Music. His first release in the United States is Enlightened Love, a collaboration with late producer John Rawsthorne and renowned flautist Rajendra Teredesai of Pune, India, that has expanded the boundaries of new age, healing meditation and ambient music.
Music, the vibrational force that attunes and harmonizes with your inner and outer universe.

question about spending time in the airportOct 26, 20151I fly in early morning and am meeting some friends 4 hours later to take a cab into the city together. How can I make sure my luggage stays in baggage claim until I pick it up? If I pick it up after my flight, then I'll have to spend these hours in baggage claim waiting for them.MarySun, Oct 25There's nothing you can do. If you wait a few hours it will either be still on the belt (although your flight will no longer be on the monitor, so you'll have to check all 8 belts) or in the airline baggage office. Why don't you just take the CTA Orange Line into town when you arrive? It's faster than a taxi anyway.ZAPMon, Oct 26

Nigel`s speech goes viral... again

When Mr Papandreou got up and used the word 'referendum'... Mr Rehn, you described it as 'a breach of confidence', and your friends here got together like a pack of hyenas, rounded on Papandreou, had him removed and replaced by a puppet Government. What an absolutely disgusting spectacle that was. And not satisfied with that, you decided that Berlesconi had to go. So he was removed and replaced by Mr Monti, a former European Commissioner, a fellow architect of this euro disaster and a man who wasn't even a member of parliament
Farage, 16.11.2011 |
Nigel Farage's recent speech in Strasbourg has gone viral, surpassing 100,000 views in 48 hours on
one Youtube account
The video is being widely distributed, especially across Europe and the United States, reflecting Farage's worldwide support as the crash-landing of the euro unfolds, and the Greek and Italian governments are seized by unelected
puppets with a centralising agenda that is far removed from the democratic aspirations of the people.
• European Parliament, Strasbourg, 16 November 2011
• Speaker: Nigel Farage MEP, UKIP, Co-President of the EFD Group in the European Parliament (Europe of Freedom and Democracy)
• Debate: Economic governance - Statements by the Presidents of the European Council (Herman Van Rompuy), the Commission (José Manuel Barroso) and the Eurogroup (Jean-Claude Juncker). Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Ollie Rehn was also present. [2011/2902(RSP)]
"Here we are on the edge of a financial and social disaster and in the room today we have the four men who are supposed to be responsible. And yet we have listened to the dullest most, technocratic speeches I've ever heard.
You are all in denial. By any objective measure the euro is a failure. And who exactly is responsible, who is in charge out of all you lot? The answer is none of you because none of you have been elected; none of you have any democratic legitimacy for the roles you currently hold within this crisis.
And into this vacuum, albeit reluctantly, has stepped Angela Merkel. And we are now living in a German-dominated Europe - something that the European project was actually supposed to stop. Something that those who went before us actually paid a heavy price in blood to prevent. I don't want to live in a German-dominated Europe and nor do the citizens of Europe.
But you guys have played a role, because when Mr Papandreou got up and used the word 'referendum' - or Mr Rehn, you described it as 'a breach of confidence', and your friends here got together like a pack of hyenas, rounded on Papandreou, had him removed and replaced by a puppet Government. What an absolutely disgusting spectacle that was.
And not satisfied with that, you decided that Berlesconi had to go. So he was removed and replaced by Mr Monti, a former European Commissioner, a fellow architect of this Euro disaster and a man who wasn't even a member of parliament.
It's getting like an Agatha Christie novel, where we're trying to work out who is the next person that's going to be bumped off. The difference is, we know who the villains are. You should all be held accountable for what you've done. You should all be fired.
And I have to say, Mr Van Rompuy. 18 months ago when we first met, I was wrong about you. I said you would be the quiet assassin of nation states' democracy, but not anymore, you are rather noisy about it aren't you. You, an unelected man, went to Italy and said, 'This is not the time for elections but the time for actions'. What in God's name gives you the right to say that to the Italian people.

MoMA Adds @ Symbol to Permanent Collection
New York's Museum of Modern Art said today it is adding the "@" symbol to its permanent art collection.
The museum isn't paying for the privilege since this curly emblem of the digital age is already part of the public domain, but the decision does underscore the museum's increasingly expansive definition of art.
Paola Antonelli, senior curator of MoMA's Department of Architecture and Design, said she got the idea last fall as she began preparing for an upcoming show called "Talk to Me," which will explore people's relationship to their communication tools. Beyond the @ symbol's role as a crucial connector in e-mail messages, Antonelli said she realized its shape is universally recognizable, a design icon all its own.
The symbol even has a storied provenance. Latin speakers were using the coiled symbol as shorthand for "at" as early as the 6th century. Venetian merchants in medieval times often drew it as a stand-in for the amphora, a wide-bellied terracotta pot typically used to convey goods. The sign's modern turn as a commercial condenser —two oranges @40 cents = 80 cents — continued through the age of printing presses and typewriters until 1971. That's when Ray Tomlinson, a pioneer of e-mail programming, began using it as a way to differentiate between names and places so that computers wouldn't get mixed up when routing electronic messages.
Antonelli said the museum's acquisition committee weighed the @ symbol's cultural clout using the same criteria -– quality, relevance and overall excellence -– applied to any potential art acquisitions. Only one person voted against the idea, she said.
The museum will exhibit "@" somewhere on its walls, possibly as a silkscreen and accompanied by a label explaining its history and its influence on design and typography, she said. Its typeface will even be described, just as the label for a chair includes details about its upholstery.
Just don't tell that to the dollar sign or the ampersand. "We're not planning to start a collection of symbols," Antonelli said.

A massage, a manicure, and a mammogram?
Doctors across the country are throwing mammogram parties and taking the fear out of mammogram screenings.
"We would like to see more women come out and participate in screening mammography. It saves lives," Mickey Jester, M.D., Radiologist, Provena St. Joseph's Medical Center
But mammograms may soon become passé when it comes to detection of the disease.
This experimental breakthrough breath test at Georgia Tech measures organic compounds breathed out from the lungs and identifies those associated with breast cancer.
"A patient could be told right away, 'Yes, it looks like something's there.'"
Says immunologist Vincent Tuohy, who hopes to kill breast cancer even before it can be found on a mammogram or in a breath test.
He adds by saying, "I thought the best thing to do is to try and prevent the tumor to appear to begin with."
At the Cleveland Clinic, Tuohy has developed the very first breast cancer vaccine.
"We targeted a self-protein that is expressed in most breast cancers but not in normal breast tissue."
In his research in the lab, the vaccine prevented the disease in 100 percent of the cases. The idea is to give this to women in their forties and fifties when they are most at risk of developing breast cancer.
"It's a giant deficiency in our health care. I think once I point it out, everyone says, 'Yeah, you're right,' but we haven't done a thing about it."
That is until now, the vaccine could change and save the lives of women around the world.
For more information on other series produced by Ivanhoe Broadcast News contact John Cherry at (407) 691-1500, firstname.lastname@example.com.
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Every year, millions of U.S. women have mammograms to determine if they have breast cancer. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, with larger decreases in women younger than 50. These decreases are believed to be the result of earlier detection through screening and increased awareness, as well as improved treatment. Even though breast cancer is primarily a disease of women, almost 1 percent of breast cancers occur in men. (SOURCE: www.cancer.org)
BREAST CANCER BREATH TEST: Investigators at Georgia Tech Research Institute have come up with an experimental test that measures organic compounds expelled from the lungs and identifies the ones linked to breast cancer. A pilot study shows the breast cancer breath test was nearly just as accurate as mammograms in terms of distinguishing cancer. With this test, a patient could find out right away if there is anything abnormal in their cells. The breath test is still experimental. Scientists believe the test could be a reality in the near future but will likely never replace the mammogram. Still, it may open the door for earlier intervention and regular testing for high-risk women, while offering breast cancer screening to women in third world countries.
(SOURCE: Georgia Tech Research Institute)
BREAST CANCER VACCINE: Vincent K. Tuohy, Ph.D., an immunologist and researcher in the department of immunology at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, and his team, supported by the National Cancer Institute, have developed a first-of-its-kind vaccine that they hope could protect women from breast cancer. The vaccine targets women aged 40 and up and those with a high risk of the disease. Most previous attempts at cancer vaccines have targeted viruses or cancers that have already developed, but this approach attacks the tumor before it can develop.
The vaccine is designed to target a protein present in most breast cancers and breast milk and stop tumor formation without damaging healthy breast tissue. Human trials will begin this year, and the goal, if successful, is to vaccinate women over the age of 40 since breast cancer risk increases after 40. The research is happening in the U.S., Europe and Singapore. The vaccine has shown favorable results in animal models.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Eastern Kentucky University's men's basketball team's quest for the program's sixth Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship begins on Thursday against the winner of Wednesday's Southeast Missouri/Eastern Illinois game.
Eastern's game is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. ET. The live radio broadcast of the game is available in the Richmond area on WCYO 100.7 FM, and can be heard worldwide on EKUSports.com. A FREE live video broadcast of the contest is available on OVCDigitalNetwork.com.
The Colonels (23-8, 12-4 OVC) enter the tournament as the No. 3 seed and received a first round bye. No. 6 seed Southeast Missouri and No. 7 seed Eastern Illinois will play tonight at 9 p.m. ET.
The winner of Thursday's game will face No. 2 seed Murray State in the semifinals at 9 p.m. ET on Friday. Eastern Kentucky finished with the second best record in the conference, but the Racers received the No. 2 seed as a result of finishing first in the West Division.
The OVC title game will be Saturday at 7 p.m. ET and will air on ESPN2. A delayed broadcast of Friday's semifinal game will air on ESPNU at 1:30 a.m.
With their win over Tennessee Tech last week, the Colonels set a new school record for wins in a season with 23. The previous record of 22 was set in 2004-05. On Tuesday, Mike DiNunno was named first team All-OVC. Glenn Cosey and Corey Walden were selected to the OVC All-Newcomer team.
Eastern Kentucky has won five tournament titles (1950, 1955, 1979, 2005, 2007) and has finished as the runner-up seven times (1951, 1953, 1954, 1965, 1987, 1990, 1992). EKU has qualified for 37 of the 49 tournaments, including 11 in a row, and has an overall tournament record of 34-32. Eastern is one of only two teams to qualify for each of the last 11 OVC Tournaments.
EKU is tied with Middle Tennessee for the third most tournament championships (5). The Colonels have the third most tournament game victories (34). Eastern is 3-3 all-time as the No. 3 seed. The last time the Colonels were the No. 3 seed was in 1987 when they advanced to the finals.
Southeast Missouri won five of its last seven regular season games and enters the tournament 16-15 on the season. The Redhawks finished 8-8 in conference play. The SEMO offense has put up 82, 84, 96 and 108 points in four of its last five regular season games. Southeast broke the OVC record with 20 three-pointers on its way to scoring 108 points at Austin Peay.
Tyler Stone, a 6-foot-8 junior forward, leads the team in scoring (15.3 ppg) and is second in rebounding (7.8 rpg). Fellow 6-foot-8 forward Nino Johnson is third in scoring (11 ppg) and is second in the OVC in rebounding (9.1 rpg). Corey Wilford, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, contributes 14.8 points per contest.
As a team, Southeast leads the OVC in field goal percentage defense (.401) and 3-point field goal percentage (.407). The Redhawks are second in scoring offense (74.2 ppg) and third in field goal percentage (.470).
Eastern Illinois lost only one of its final five regular season games, and that was to OVC champ Belmont. The Panthers enter the tournament 11-20 overall and finished 6-10 in the league. EIU suffered through a 12-game losing streak in the middle of the season, including a 0-6 start in the OVC. However, after ending the losing skid the Panthers finished the regular season 8-4.
Morris Woods, a 6-foot-3 sophomore guard, leads the team in scoring (10.9 ppg). Sherman Blanford, a 6-foot-6 forward, contributes 10.5 points and a team-best 6.6 rebounds per game.
As a team, Eastern Illinois is last in the conference in scoring (60.2 ppg) but second in scoring defense (63.6 ppg). EIU allows opponents to shoot 39 percent from 3-point range, the highest in the OVC.

Controversy was mounting over Venezuela's political transition last night as the Government of the late president, Hugo Chávez, set the stage for a bitter election battle. Henrique Capriles, the opposition leader who made a strong showing against Chávez in October, questioned the announcement of a election date of April 14, beyond the 30 days required by law after the death of the incumbent.
Mr Capriles has also accused Nicolás Maduro, who was Vice-President under Chávez, of a power grab by having himself, rather than Diosdado Cabello, the head of the National Assembly, sworn in as interim president.

By John Irish and Jeff Mason COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER France (Reuters) - World leaders and veterans paid tribute on the 70th anniversary of the World War Two D-Day landings to soldiers who fell in the liberation of Europe from Nazi German rule, as host France sought to use the event to achieve a thaw in the Ukraine crisis. Flanked by stooped war veterans, some in wheelchairs, U.S. President Barack Obama joined French President Francois Hollande to commemorate victory and reaffirm U.S-French solidarity before the 9,387 white marble headstones of fallen U.S. soldiers at the Normandy American

Post subject: Does age matter
Hi, This is the first time I have posted on this site. Just wanted to ask you ladies out there that are trying to concieve if you think age matters. I have been trying to get pregnant for the 2nd time for 3 years on and off. My first daughter is 6. I have PCOS and can only ovulate on medication. This in itself makes me feel totally rubbish, mood swings, bloated etc. I know my body inside and out and know my ovulation time, however still am not pregnant. I am wondering if it is my age - I am 37. I just wonder if it would be worth me paying to have the test done that tells you how many eggs you have left. My husband has been tested and he is fine and I know that I am ovulating so do not know why every month is a disappointment.

Hi, many thanks for your reply. I fell pregnant with my first child after just 2 months of being on clomid. I had a great pregnancy. This is now the 3rd lot I have had clomid and am having no luck at all. I will look into the test because there has to be a reason why this is happening. Good luck with everything. x

Post subject: PCOS and am 31
Hi there,
My husband and I have been trying for a couple of months now and I have PCOS and am almost 31. I have a huge fear that I might not ever be able to conceive or if I do might have a miscarriage. I know this seems a bit extreme but because I have heard so many stories about woman having problems conceiving and carrying to term because of the PCOS and also my age I'm a bit worried. Might be a bit depressed today because I just got my period. I do know every woman is different but does having PCOS make having a baby more difficult and increase chances of a miscarrige??
Posted: Thu Mar 06, 2008 5:18 pm
Post subject:
i have seen a pcos specialist, consultants midwifes and doctors and they have all told my that pcos is not proven to be connected to miscarriages or any other pregnancy problems, last September i went into premature labor and blamed it on my condition but they all said it is nothing to do with it they say it doesn't cause any problems if you are pregnant, even though i have read that you are more likely to miscarry they say different, apparently pcos is only a problem when you want to conceive there for your doctor can prescribe you fertility drugs, i wouldn't worry!!!! x

Tzanelli, R (2002) Unclaimed colonies: Anglo-Greek identities through the prism of the Dilessi/Marathon Murders (1870). Journal of Historical Sociology, 15 (2). 169 - 191 . ISSN 0952-1909
This paper examines the Anglo-Greek dialogue on Greek and British European identities following the Dilessi/Marathon Murders, a case of kidnapping and murder of three upper class Britons by Greek brigands, which became the European cause célèbre of the 1870s. It focuses on British and Greek narratives of brigandage and uses them to provide some insight into the ways both sides conceptualised modernity. The uses of the Greek, Irish and Scottish past and present in this dialogue formed a discourse in which history, imperialism and romanticism were woven altogether. This paper argues that these intertwined ideas and processes were complicit in the formation of modern British and Greek national identities.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
by Lewis Carroll
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass Wonderland, Chapter 3 Summary
A Caucus-Race and a Long Tale
- Alice and the various animals that fell into the pool of tears get out of the water and gather together. They argue about the best way to get dry.
- Alice has a long argument with the Lory (a kind of bird) about what to do. The Lory says that it's older than she is and knows better, but it won't say exactly how old.
- Finally the Mouse decides what they should do. It calls everyone to order and makes them sit in a circle, then it starts giving a really boring history lecture. The Mouse, you see, is using the wrong definition of "dry." The lecture is "dry" in the sense of "boring," but it isn't dry in the sense of "not wet."
- The still-wet animals get a little restless. The Duck starts arguing with the Mouse about the meaning of the word "it." The Mouse was talking about "it" in a fancy abstract argumentative sense, but the Duck wants it to be something concrete, like a worm or a frog. The Mouse ignores the Duck and keeps going.
- The Mouse asks Alice how she's doing, and she says that she's as wet as she was at the beginning. The Dodo suggests that they do something more energetic and proposes that they have a "Caucus-race."
- What's a "caucus-race," we hear you asking? Well, here's what the animals do: the Dodo marks out a circle for the racecourse, like a track. All the animals begin at different places on the course and start and stop running whenever they want. After about half an hour, the Dodo announces that the race is over.
- OK, now we hear you asking another question: why is the "caucus-race" funny? Well, a caucus is a political event – you know, before an election each party has a caucus, which is just a big convention where it officially chooses candidates. So it's funny to think of a caucus as a totally random race, where everyone's running in circles instead of getting somewhere. Everyone has different advantages and disadvantages (they start at different places), and it's not clear when you're supposed to start campaigning (running). And, of course, it's totally unclear who won, or even how you would really "win."
- Since nobody knows who won, the Dodo announces that everyone won and everyone should get a prize. Who has to give the prizes? Alice, of course.
- Alice finds a little box of comfits (hard candy) in a tin in her pocket. Luckily, they were sealed tight and didn't get wet. She hands them around and has just enough to give one to each animal, but she doesn't have one left over for herself. The Dodo asks what else she has in her pocket, and all she's got is a thimble – a little metal cap that you put over your finger as you sew so that you don't prick yourself with the needle. It's not much of a present, but the Dodo presents it to her with a little speech. Alice stifles her laughter and tries to act serious.
- The animals eat their comfits. If you can imagine feeding a lemon drop or a peppermint to a bird, you can probably guess that this is a pretty chaotic activity.
- Next, the animals sit down in a circle and ask the Mouse to tell them another story. Alice reminds the Mouse that it said it would tell her its life story and explain why it hates cats and dogs.
- Verse Alert: The Mouse tells its story, but Alice confuses the words tale and tail.
- As the Mouse speaks, Alice imagines its tale in rhymed couplets that appear in the pattern of its curving tail. In the book, the story is printed in the tail's shape – a technique called concrete poetry.
- This is only the second of many poems that are interjected in the Alice books (the first was Alice's messed-up recitation of "How doth the little" in Chapter 2), and like the rest it's mostly nonsense. Here's what the poem is about:
- A cat named Fury meets a mouse.
- Fury tells the mouse that he wants to put it on trial. He offers to be the prosecutor.
- The mouse objects that there's no point in having a trial if they don't have a judge or a jury.
- Fury says that he can be judge and jury, too, and condemn the mouse to death!
- The poem stops there, because the Mouse in Wonderland realizes that Alice isn't listening to him. Alice says she knows exactly where he is – the fifth "bend" in his tale.
- This just makes the Mouse angrier and it says it did not do that. Alice thinks it means there is a "knot" in the "tail" and offers to help untangle it.
- Frustrated and offended, the Mouse leaves. Alice and the animals ask it to come back, but it ignores them.
- Alice says that she wishes Dinah, her cat, were there to bring the Mouse back. The other animals ask her about Dinah, and Alice starts describing Dinah's mouse- and bird-catching abilities. This makes the birds uncomfortable, and they make excuses to leave.
- Alice is left alone, wishing that she hadn't mentioned her cat. But she also misses Dinah and starts to cry. Then she hears footsteps in the distance.

Lil Wayne could be losing Young Money's corner of the web.
According to TMZ, Weezy bought the rights to youngmoney.com, a website that helped young business owners in their entrepreneurial endeavors. The original owners of the site allege that it was sold for $600,000 under the pretense that if payments weren't made in a timely fashion, the domain would be turned over back to them.
The suit against Wayne and Young Money claims there is a $250,000 balance left on the deal. The rapper allegedly ducked requests to pay off the bill. Young Money will have to chuck the deuces to their site if

The ballots have been mailed and Los Gatos residents can vote through May 7 on Measure B, the proposed eight-year extension of the Los Gatos Union School District parcel tax. Measure B would renew the $290 annual parcel tax that's levied against property owners.
The current parcel tax expires on June 30, 2014. If the extension is approved by voters, the new eight-year cycle would commence on July 1, 2014.
"This is a straight renewal of the current parcel tax, so there is no tax increase," school board president Tina Orsi-Hartigan said. "It will be used to keep classes small and retain teachers."
Kindergarten through third-grade classes average 24 students, while fourth and fifth grades average 29 students. Orsi-Hartigan said Fisher Middle School class sizes vary, depending on the class.
"It helps our technology program and our core reading, writing, math and science programs," Orsi-Hartigan said. "It also supports our art and music programs."
The parcel tax would not fund any administrators' salaries.
"One of the key issues is this is completely locally controlled funding. This money cannot be used by anyone but LGUSD," Orsi-Hartigan said.
Measure B would establish an independent oversight committee to audit expenditures. That committee would report its findings annually to the school board.
Orsi-Hartigan added that passage of the tax, which has not attracted any organized opposition, is critical. "Approximately 10 percent of our budget comes from the parcel tax. Should this not pass, we will have to make critical cuts to our entire student program," Orsi-Hartigan said.
Residents 65 and over are exempt from paying the parcel tax, but they must fill out a form at the school district's headquarters at 17010 Roberts Road in order to receive the exemption.
The ballots that began arriving in voters' homes on April 11 are actually packets that contain a sample ballot and a postage paid return mail-in ballot. Since this is a mail-in election only, there will be no polling places set up.
Ballots that are received early can be processed and verified, which means counting could go faster on election night.
Ballots must be received by the Registrar of Voters by 8 p.m. on May 7. In addition to snail mail, voters can also drop ballots off at Los Gatos Town Hall, 110 E. Main St., Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The registrar's office at 1555 Berger Drive in San Jose also has a white ballot drop box located in its parking lot that is available 24/7 through 8 p.m. on May 7.

Starting July 1, six area school districts will share a position designed to help manage their energy use.
Through the Kentucky Energy Efficiency Program for Schools, established in 2008, school districts have been required by Kentucky law to take actions to manage their energy use.
Sheriff's Department Arrests
Leslie A. Nichols, failure to appear, arrested by Rick Nelson on 2/8.
Anisa M. Rivera, theft by deception under $10,000, arrested by Rick Nelson on 2/9.
Gary R. Bailey, failure to appear/failure to pay, arrested by Rick Nelson on 2/10.

After helping lead the Henry County girls' golf program to its current top-notch status, Samantha Woods has decided to continue her golf career with Kentucky Wesleyan College next school year.
The Henry County High School senior decided on Kentucky Wesleyan a few months ago but made it official with a signing inside the high school's Media Room last Tuesday at noon. She becomes the first Henry golfer to sign with a college team since April Hayden and Nikki Chilton committed to Georgetown College in 2005.
After a delay in opening the 2010 track season, the Eminence Warriors officially started the season at the Oldham County All-Comers last Thursday night.
Steve Frommeyer, the team's head coach who is also the school's principal and head football coach, said he was pleased with Eminence's performance, especially considering he mostly had middle schoolers competing at the high school-level meet. For most of the Eminence athletes, it was their first-ever meet and just the second time they had been on a track.
The Judy Lea Memorial Henry County Children's Fund would like to thank all who helped make this year's fund raising dinner such a success. John Rothenburger, Sidney Rothenburger and the Henry County and Eminence Food Service for preparing and serving the food. Eminence Baptist Church youth group for busing tables. The Campbellsburg Show Choir, Henry County Middle School Choir, Eastern Elementary Choir, New Castle third and fourth graders, Henry County Jazz Band, for the entertainment, Dave Gray for auctioneering, Ben Coomes, Donnie Tipton and Harold Bratton for hosting.
Earlier this year, Mr. Michael Pollan was nominated for an Oscar on a documentary full of lies. Not every documentary film sticks with the full, straight to the point facts/truth. There isn't a law that states that. For this movie, Food Inc., is filled with lies about America's farmers and food suppliers. How can a topic that can be so strongly focused on, be blown so out of proportion based on these lies? What can we as farmers do with this situation?
I would like to thank the New Castle mayor and members of the City Commission for joining into a contract with Liberty Communications, allowing them to install high speed internet transmitters on the New Castle water tower. This will be a great service to the rural citizens of Henry County, allowing us to get away from slow, slow dial-up at a reasonable cost.
If anyone is interested in high speed internet, please call Liberty Communications at 859-393-8995 or 1-866-505-7332.

After a busy week packed with races, the Henry County track team will now get back to the track to focus on training.
The Cats competed at the Western Hills Middle School All-Comers last Wednesday, the Oldham County All-Comers on Thursday, the Harry Greschel Christian Academy Invitational on Saturday and the Shelby County All-Comers on Tuesday, making for a busy stretch of races. Sedrick Williams, the new head coach, said all the racing has made the training suffer, and now wants to focus his attention on the days between meets.
This side of the story is nothing short of a tragedy. But every story has two sides. David Ethington had family in the court room too that also cried. He also has two sons that are still crying and a daughter too young to know what is going on. Our family has been life long friends of Dago and this has forever changed our lives as well. While I don't agree with the choices that the two of them made on that night, they were just that, their choices. There isn't a day that goes by that David doesn't think about the choice he made.
Henry County's Relay For Life event is scheduled for Friday, June 25 beginning at 7 p.m. Please visit www.relayforlife.org/henryky for more information about the event and the upcoming fundraisers going on in the community.

Thanks a million to Beka Horton for turning Dr. Kent Hovind into the authorities. Hovind was doing a phenomenal job at cutting away the root of much wickedness in our world. I guess she sleeps better at night knowing that Dr. Kent Hovind will no longer be a threat to society.
We are changing home school curriculum because of her foolish involvement in the charges brought against a true patriot. I don't want to pad their pockets any longer. She probably thinks John Bunyan was a menace to society as well.
This is one situation with which I have mixed feelings. Yes, I am uneasy with the fact that the Hortons turned Hovind over to the authorities. The situation, however, is still understandable. Hovind's Dinosaur Adventure Land is very close in proximity to PCC. Because of this, and Hovind's prominent influence, many PCC students would be attracted to working there to pay for college tuition. The only problem with working there is the fact that Hovind was an ardent tax evasionist and actively encouraged his employees to do the same. So here you'd have a mess on your hands: a lot of PCC students learning tax evasion tactics and the blame, as far as prompting federal investigation, could fall on PCC. The Hortons did not allow PCC students to work there for precisely this reason.Originally Posted by PowerProRanger
It's really a sad lose-lose situation. I have seen quite a few of Hovind's materials and appreciate his ministry goals, and have met him. But good or bad, there is a price to pay one way or the other for not following the law.
Check out my new book!
Freedom to Give: The Biblical Truth About Tithing
Quotable quotes:
Jesus Christ is the King James Bible, so your attempt to prove stucky wrong was in vain. -- EZBelieve
This is a serious question; do you really think he is intestinally lying? -- onefaith
I'm not now nor am I ever going to look any word from the Bible up in a greek or hebrew lexicon. -- Vander
Obtuse? I have lost 20 lbs. -- IRONMAN
The only area I disagree with Hovind is on the anatomy of the church. Hovind considered his ministry a church and I do not consider it a New Testament Church. However, he does have the right under the constitution to operate a church in the manner in which he did and the Government and the Hortons have a right to keep their noses out of it.
There is no doubt in my mind, God is angry with the Hortons over their foolish actions. I also stopped my support of the "Christian Law Assocation." David Gibbs brought shame on the name of Christ as well.
I'm no PCC defender, but I did spend six years there. The Hovind's "land" (house) is in the middle of a residential neighborhood that is not owned by the college. It is a large and unnecessary leap to assign that motive to them. There are a lot of other homeowners they would have to speed along to jail before they got their hands on Kent's coveted property.
"At some sub-conscious level America and Europe reacted to the new post-war materialism of the 1950's in different ways. Europeans, realizing that materialism was incompatible with Christianity quietly ditched the religion. American's took the opposite course and changed the Christian message to suit their materialism."

The Lost Sessions
These 17 tracks werenÂt Âlost, exactlyÂmore like tucked away for safe keeping. Along with a few all-new cuts, The Lost Sessions collects songs Garth left incomplete during the years before his retirement, with finishing touches applied recently.
The result is a CD that stands up fine as a Ânew Garth Brooks albumÂthe familiar combination of cowboy anthems, heartbreak laments, common-man philosophy and odes to enduring love is fully intact. A few tracks might best have stayed Âlost, but the best songs here could easily have been hitsÂa couple, ÂGood Ride Cowboy and the Trisha Yearwood duet ÂLove Will Always Win, have now become just that.
That latter track is one of six songs added to The Lost Sessions for its single-disc release, after appearing as one of five CDs in last yearÂs Limited Series box set. And thatÂs what rankles: after using these previously unreleased songs as bait to convince hard-core fans to shell out for several discs worth of music they already owned, those same fans have to buy this new version to get the added Âbonus tracks. Nonetheless, those patiently awaiting GarthÂs return from retirement will be happy to find The Lost Sessions.

We all go to great lengths to keep our skin looking young and beautiful. Ancient healing minerals from the Dead Sea have long been purported to help keep your skin soft and healthy, without the potential toxins often found in skin care.
The Dead Sea, located at the Earth's lowest elevation content, thrives with mineral-rich waters rumored for centuries to have therapeutic healing powers. The water's salt and mud contents are rich with sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium and bromine. To take advantage of these natural skin stimulants, One With Nature used the salts and mud from the Dead Sea to create all-natural soap bars to keep your skin resilient—the high mineral content can stimulate blood circulation, accelerate the natural exfoliation processes, restore the skin to its natural pH balance and deep cleanse and purify your skin cells, according to the company.
One With Nature Dead Sea soaps are developed with 100 percent vegetable base, pure essential oils and all-natural Dead Sea minerals. All packaging incorporates recycled and biodegradable materials. Soap three-packs are available for $10. For more information, visit One With Nature.
