One of the largest enrollments in Rochester's annual business plan contest suggests that entrepreneurship and innovation are alive and well in the greater Rochester area.
The goal of the 2013 Rochester Regional Business Plan Contest is to encourage entrepreneurship among all who enter while recognizing and rewarding the most promising new ventures and start-up companies. With 46 companies entered in this year's contest, it is one of the largest groups in the history of the contest, a more than 50% increase over the 30 companies that entered in 2012. Among the 46, six are repeat competitors. At the end of the two-month process, five companies will be selected to make public presentations to a panel of judges and compete for the prizes.
"While the final presentations and the awards are exciting and dramatic, the behind-the-scenes workshops represent the value-added the experience represents," says Jim Senall, president of High Tech Rochester, which runs the annual event. "Only five companies make it to the finals, yet the others come away with added knowledge and insights and feedback that will help them grow."
Workshops for participants in the 2013 Rochester Regional Business Plan Contest began on Wednesday, February 6; the presentations of the five finalists will be made the morning of April 18 and winners will be announced at the annual Celebration of Entrepreneurship luncheon the same day.
Among the industries represented by this year's crop of business plan contestants are IT services and software, telecommunications, clean technology, biotechnology, marketing and advertising, education, medical devices, nanotechnology, and media and entertainment. In the history of the contest, which ran in 1997 and 1998 and then annually since 2005, the 2013 class is the second largest (2005 saw 50 participating companies). Each company pays $150 to enter.
The winner of the annual Rochester Regional Business Plan Contest receives a $25,000 cash prize and a variety of marketing and business incubator services.
The Rochester Regional Business Plan Contest is a collaborative initiative aimed at stimulating more entrepreneurial activity in the nine-county Finger Lakes region. The planning committee comprises High Tech Rochester, Inc. (www.htr.org), Digital Rochester (www.digitalrochester.com), The Entrepreneurs Network (www.ten-ny.org), Excell Partners (http://www.excellny.com) , Greater Rochester Enterprise (www.RochesterBiz.com), Rochester Institute of Technology (www.rit.edu), Nazareth College School of Management (www.naz.edu/management) and the University of Rochester Simon School of Business (www.simon.rochester.edu).

UK inflation falls to 2.5%
Inflation has fallen slightly to 2.5 per cent in August, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
The consumer prices index figure compares with July's 2.6 per cent, and with a 4.9 per cent inflation rate in August 2011.
The ONS said transport prices - particularly petrol - had increased but this had been offset by falls in prices for furniture, household equipment and maintenance, housing and household services, and clothing and footwear.
The retail prices index (RPI) measure also fell during August to 2.9 per cent, from 3.2 per cent in July. In August 2011 RPI stood at 5.2 per cent.

Andrew Luck emerged from the Stanford locker room late Saturday night, grabbed a box of postgame pizza and greeted his other team.
"Hey guys," Luck said to three security guards wearing Secret Service-style earpieces and waiting for the Heisman Trophy favorite with a golf cart.
The junior quarterback hopped aboard and was whisked out of Stanford Stadium and into the darkness, destination undisclosed -- all while avoiding a throng of autograph-seeking fans camped outside the stadium.
On a campus filled with Nobel laureates and a former Secretary of State, it's rare treatment indeed for an athlete. But it has become a necessity for Luck, the No. 1 college football player in America and the best-known Bay Area college athlete since Jason Kidd attended Cal in the early 1990s.
"It's tough for him, coming back from the stadium," Stanford coach David Shaw said. Stanford provides Luck security after both games and practices -- but not because of the threat of physical harm. Rather, it's a means of managing requests for autographs that can, at times, be overwhelming.
Luck is uncomfortable with the security detail but, ever practical, has come to accept it.
"The older I've gotten, the more I understand that sometimes you have to take extra steps," he said.
It's not an unusual step at the proverbial football factories such as USC, where stars such as Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart attracted hoards of autograph seekers after games and practices.
But in the Bay Area, where professional sports dominate, Luck is believed to be the first collegian to require security since Kidd, who faced long lines of fans after every Cal basketball game.
Luck's refuge -- the place where he can be what he covets most: a regular college student -- is Stanford's campus.
"Stanford kids respect other students," he said. "It's part of the culture."
When Luck puts on his football helmet, his privacy vanishes -- especially on the road.
The first sign of chaos came on a trip to Notre Dame early last season, when Luck was a Heisman Trophy candidate and the projected No. 1 pick in the NFL draft.
Stanford arrived at its hotel in South Bend at 10 p.m. on a Thursday and was greeted by so many autograph seekers that "you couldn't get off the bus," according to Matt Doyle, assistant athletic director for football operations.
The following week, the Cardinal visited Oregon. While attempting to spend a few minutes with family members after the game -- his only chance to see them all weekend -- Luck was mobbed by fans seeking both autographs and pictures.
A few days later, Luck's parents, Oliver and Kathy, broached the topic of security with Doyle, and a plan was implemented: An officer from the Palo Alto Police Department would travel with the team and remain with Luck after games while he spent time with his family; at home, security guards would escort him from the stadium back to the main campus.
"It got progressively tougher for Andrew to talk to his parents for 10 minutes before getting on the bus," said Oliver, the athletic director at West Virginia. "For some of the away games, it was out of control."
Autograph seekers also began approaching Luck before and after practice, with some camping out for an hour. In response, Stanford assigned a member of its guest services staff to accompany Luck on the 50-yard walk between the locker room and the practice field.
"What gets us in trouble is that it's tough for Andrew to say no," Doyle said. "And if he says yes, the floodgates open."
Those floodgates often involve unscrupulous characters. Luck was besieged by autograph seekers at Kennedy Airport last year for the Heisman Trophy ceremony. The same kids were outside the midtown hotel where the finalists were staying.
"It was far too organized to think they were seeking autographs for their own collection," said Jim Young, Stanford's senior assistant athletic director for communications, who accompanied Luck on the Heisman trip. "The profiteers pay kids to be their frontmen."
And that's a problem. The NCAA prohibits athletes or schools from profiting from the sale of autographed memorabilia. (Alabama and Ohio State are currently involved in scandals of that nature.)
Megan Boone, Stanford's assistant athletic director for compliance, spends 10-15 hours per week reviewing appearance and autograph requests and monitoring Internet sites such as eBay for items autographed by Luck and other Stanford athletes. If something is discovered, she sends a cease-and-desist letter.
And if that doesn't work?
"At that point, the school has fulfilled its obligation," said Mike Matthews, the Pac-12 Conference's director of compliance. "The NCAA rules don't apply to third parties."
Luck personalizes autographs ("To Joe ...") in an attempt to devalue his own signature. Either that, or he signs something that has a teammate's autograph on it, as well.
But unless the situation is overwhelming -- after games, for instance -- or shady, Luck will sign autographs anywhere, anytime for as long as possible.
That was evident during a 45-minute team autograph session during training camp. At the end of the allotted time, hundreds of people were still in line for Luck and star linebacker Shayne Skov.
They kept signing.
After 90 minutes, Doyle approached.
"You OK, guys?"
"Yep, no problem," Luck said. "We're good."
After two hours, they were able to walk away.
There was nobody left in line.

US Trade Deal One Year On: Who Are the Winners?
By Joshua Hall
Friday marks the one year anniversary of the implementation of the free trade agreement between South Korea and the US. After years of hard negotiations, the FTA has helped lower prices for Korean consumers of many products and given American exporters a boost, but not everyone has been a winner.
According to a report compiled by the Hyundai Research Institute, South Korea's exports to the U.S. gained 4.1% last year to reach $58.5 billion as the country's overall outbound shipments slipped 1.3% due to the global economic slump.
Imports from the U.S. declined 2.8% to $43.3 billion, weighed on by a downturn in domestic demand, according to the report.
Here's a look at some of the most interesting numbers:
Promises of cheaper wine were used to convince Korean consumers of the benefits of the FTA. Overall, imports of American wines to South Korea increased 73% in dollar value in the ten months after the FTA came into effect, compared with the ten months prior.
Lower priced wines are doing better in supermarkets. Shinsegae, a conglomerate that operates supermarkets, department stores and hotels, recently purchased 27,000 bottles of Oregon wine. Another supermarket chain, Lotte, has doubled the number of US wines in its stores in the last year.
For some wine importers, passing on the saving of the 15% tariff elimination was harder. "California producers put up their export prices 5-10% in 2012. In terms of sales volume we're up 30%, but in terms of profit it was not that good," said Lee In-quen of importer Wine2Ukorea.
Imports of American beef dropped 21% in dollar value in 2012 with the overall imported beef market contracting 17% in value. According to the American government's trade office in Seoul, the industry already had a lot of inventory on hand when the FTA came into effect.
Overall imports of American cars in Korea rose 54% in dollar value during the period April 2012 to Feb 2013. Ford Motors has increased its investment in Korea and plans to open eight more sales and services outlets this year.
Exports of Korean cars to the US rose 26% in value during the same period.
Imports of American tanned and dressed fur skins increased a massive 2,263% during January to December 2012 in dollar value. Fashion conscious consumers are driving demand according to Kim Hye-eun of 3 Stars, a chain of clothing stores in Seoul.
"Fur was a symbol of luxury before but these days it's cheaper. The styles have got more diverse because of the price," she says.

The Chimney Sweeper (Songs of Innocence)
by William Blake
The Chimney Sweeper (Songs of Innocence) Theme of Religion
An angel appears in Tom's dream in the form of a savior who releases the chimney sweepers from their coffins, and tells Tom that if he's a good boy God will love him. It seems like the angel is telling Tom to do his job. Does that mean that, in "The Chimney Sweeper," religion, in a way, participates in the exploitation of children? In a word, yes. Blake uses Tom Dacre's sad, beautiful dream to demonstrate how these boys' religious beliefs keep them contained in their dreadful lifestyle, rather than allow them to rise above it.
Questions About Religion
- What's up with this angel? Is he unquestionably good in this poem? Is he deceiving Tom Dacre by allowing him to believe there's a light at the end of the tunnel?
- Is the angel the only one who can open the coffins? Is there any way the boys could open their own coffins? What would that mean?
- Is the angel serious when he tells Tom how to earn God's love? Does that make you trust the angel? Or is your trust shaken by his words?
- What role does religion play in these chimney sweepers' lives?
Chew on This
"The Chimney Sweeper" suggests that religion sometimes contributes to child suffering, because the angel straight up tells Tom to work hard at his awful job so he can earn God's love. Does that sound fair to you?
The most important religious moment—the angel unlocking the coffins—happens in a dream, which tells us that there's something unreal or totally fantastical about these boys' religious beliefs.

My wife had this terrible disease and was only given 1-2yrs at the max. She was in remission for 4yrs.

I would have to say that these wafers were definitely a part of that extra time. Good luck and god bless. Elvin

A Look at Rails 5
From the start, Rails was praised for being the easiest way to get Ruby on the web. It was the easiest option, and the best. Since then, many other options have arrived, but Rails is still the industry leading framework for Ruby developers.
As is tradition, this April at RailsConf 2015 in Atlanta, the creator of Rails, David Heinemeier Hansson (aka DHH) took the stage to announce what was new in Rails and to mark the release of Rails 5. This fits with the schedule of a major release every two years. And of course, folks were excited to get in early and see what our BDFL had to say about the future of Rails.

After Hours in Tianjin
A Boomtown at Night
For centuries, Tianjin was an important northern port city — the main gateway to Beijing, about 120 kilometers away. By 1900, it was a shipping hub and popular colonial playground, and it was home to the Chinese emperor Puyi in the 1920s and 1930s.
But in the middle of the 20th century, when the Communist Party came to power, the city became an afterthought, overshadowed by the country's nearby capital.
Today, Tianjin—China's third largest city with a population of more than 10 million, according to Encyclopaedia Britannica—is a classic Chinese boomtown. Dozens of international companies have their China headquarters here, and while the city retains a gritty edge, signs of growth are everywhere.
Let's be honest: You're not going to find the same nightlife options here as in Beijing or Shanghai. After all, Tianjin is still finding its place in the new China. But it's having a lot of fun in the process.
A wander through the colonial concessions is the best way to start a night in Tianjin. The city spent the early 20th century under foreign influence, and in the 1.3-square-kilometer European Concession called Wudadao ("Five Big Avenues") just south of the city center, more than 2,000 villas remain. Some have been restored into bars, restaurants and shops.
Tucked down a side street in the concession's former English section is Chateau 35. The restaurant, an Australian-Chinese partnership, was the first of its kind in Tianjin—a sophisticated, moderately priced wine bar and bistro offering tapas, steaks and more, with an extensive collection of wines from Australia, the New World and France. It's proudly not five-star and exudes a vibe of accessibility.
"When I first got here you only had five-star options. Now, you've got places like this, you've got the Italian area, French restaurants, Thai restaurants. The local people are aware of foreign cuisines, and they're willing to try them," says London-raised David Hong, the 37-year-old manager of Chateau 35.
Wudadao is also home to a dinner and drinks option often recommended by the city's expats: YY Beer House. This Thai restaurant with a wide selection of foreign beers is crammed into a basement space off Guangdong Lu, in Wudadao, and offers standard Thai fare—green curry, pineapple chicken—that holds its own.
Dinner spots in the Italian Concession, located outside of the Wudadao district on the opposite side of the Hai River near the train station, have not withstood the onslaught of modernization. The grand architecture and cobblestone streets remain, but bland cafés and restaurants surround Marco Polo Square. Trattoria Italiana is the exception. An Italian chef prepares excellent wood-fired pizzas, pastas and even a Kobe steak dinner (968 yuan for two; about US$147) for those with deeper pockets.
Until recently, decent nightlife options in Tianjin were limited to hotels, and the city still has a number of good cocktail bars in the premier hotels. Across the river from the train station is the Astor Hotel, opened in 1863 and restored last year. The lobby opens to the expansive Victorian Lounge, where on one particular evening, a jazz band played for a crowd of two. With its colonial mystique and attention to detail, the Astor feels like a movie set. Toward the back, O'Hara's English Pub, with brick walls and velvet- and leather-upholstered chairs, is a gem with a large selection of fine whiskey.
Other good nightspot bets include the Raffles' 50th-floor Cityspace Rooftop Bar, which offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding sprawl; and Mi Zu Bar, in the Nikko hotel, which has a good menu of Japanese shochu and sake, whiskey and cigars.
These days, more nightlife options have opened away from hotels, and although the once raucous Jiuba Jie (Bar Street) recently met with a wrecking ball, new establishments are popping up. Tianjin's young expat crowd has migrated to Helen's Café, a lively bar especially popular in the summer, and Alibaba's, a Tianjin exchange-student staple offering cheap vodka. The city's best nonhotel cocktail bar is Pepper, a Korean-inspired joint that's home to a decent gin martini.
Sitong is Tianjin's most popular nightclub, packed with young Chinese and expats alike, sipping bottles of Tsingtao and dancing to a Filipino band. Le Nest — complete with Russian go-go dancers, laser lighting and heavy techno (don't say you weren't warned) — is another popular option.
The boozy Paulaner Brauhaus Richmond Restaurant and Bar, home to an almost exclusively Chinese crowd, is in the Wudadao district, just around the corner from YY Beer House. The wait staff wears Bavarian outfits, but Bavaria this is not. A live band blasts Chinese pop tunes and the German beer and food options are complemented by fruit platters and popcorn, washed down with whiskey and ice tea.
For after-hours eating, Dong Fang Zhi Zhu is Tianjin's best option, with dim sum and other Chinese fare. Here, cold bottles of beer go down until the wee hours of the morning, consumed by a young and rowdy clientele representing a city ready to step out of Beijing's shadow.

MEDIA ADVISORY: Improved Weather, Additional Resources Speed Power Restoration April 17, 2007 - 5 a.m.
Approximately 130,000 customer outages remain in Duke Energys service area in the Carolinas due to Mondays significant wind storm.
More than 217,500 customers experienced power outages at the peak Monday as wind gusts from 40 to 60 miles per hour swept through the Carolinas. Severe damage from the storm resulted in uprooted trees, broken utility poles and downed power lines.
Duke Energy crews from the Carolinas and Midwest, assisted by over 800 additional personnel from outside the companys service area, continue to assess the damage to the electrical system and restore power as quickly and safely as possible. Restoration for outages in some of the harder hit areas will occur by the end of the week.
Weather conditions are expected to improve today, which will assist the restoration process. Estimated times of restoration (ETORS) for all impacted counties will be available mid-day. ETORS will be posted to the Duke Energy Web site and distributed to media in the Carolinas as soon as it is available.
Members of the public should treat any downed line with extreme caution and treat all lines and any object touching them as energized. All downed power lines should be reported to Duke Energy and local emergency management.
If the meter box to a customers home is damaged or pulled away from the building, customers need to contact a licensed electrician for repairs and their local county inspection office for an inspection. Customers should turn off their main breaker until damage is repaired.

If you want your child to go to a different school, you need to get your School of Choice applications in early. Officials say there may be less room this year.
The School of Choice program gives parents the option to request a school transfer for their kids. Every spring, School District 51 takes applications but this year those options may be dwindling because of overcrowding.
The school district says right now they don't know how many spots less there will be and it will depend on next fall's enrollment.
What they do know, is that the way the district has been growing over the last year there will be a lot less spots for transfers than last year.
From October 2007 to October 2008 Mesa County Schools added 900 students to its rolls. In just the last month, it's added 120 students.
It's that kind of growth that has school officials warning parents to get applications for School of Choice in early.
"It's space available so if we have dwindling space in our schools than people choosing to opt to go into those schools may be full there won't be space for them if they don't live inside that boundary," District 51 Spokeswoman Christy McGee told 11 News.
School District 51 says it will start accepting applications Monday, February 9 at 10am and you can pick them up at any school and drop them off at any school.
Officials say they will be time stamped and they're on a first come first serve basis.
Again they'll start accepting applications on Monday morning through March 2 but they say you shouldn't wait until the last minute.
The district also wants to remind parents if they apply for school of choice and get a spot, they have to provide their own transportation to school.

Oakley Tanner Hall Signature Crowbar
great goggles!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Awesome goggles, i have put them to the test and they are truly awesome goggles. They never fog out on me, and have a ton of steez!
love 'em
the crowbars are the best goggles ever, and tanner hall makes them even better by adding the steeziest rasta motive. i also love the fire iridium :D
Epic Beard Man
Chockin' on some pow in The Doors at Breck.
Amazing graphic, they look even better in real life. Had to return the first pair because the lens were scratched when I got them. It had nothing to do with backcountry, there was some sort of glue and scratches between the two lenses. The new pair is on its way, hoping for a fresh lens. Again, sick looking googles. Recommended
Like a Lion
These goggles with fire are what I use for every high light day. As long as there is sun out, it is a solid choice to have some fire iridium in front of your retinas protecting them from the madness. Other than the usual badassery associated with Crowbars, the THalls have a wicked graphic that will grab attention all over the place.
i got to shred in a pair of these the other day and they were sick. The goggle fits the pace super good and hardly fogs. Tanner and oakley drew up real nice graphics for them too
Great Goggles
I don't own the Tanner Hall model Oakley Crowbars, but I do own many pairs of crowbars. There isn't much that I don't like about these goggles. If you want the most optically correct lens on the market. If you want a goggle that will fit almost anyone's face well. If you want a goggle that is as impact resistant ans a pair of safety goggles. If you want a goggle that has great ventilation and rarely fogs. If you want a goggle that comes in many different colorways. Then there are not many reasons to not buy the crowbar!
These things are the best goggles I have ever skied with period! Get them and you'll love em!
Crowbar is the s***!
Love these, got em with the fire iridium lenses, which is great for those sunny days. I also got G30 and clear lenses for overcast/night skiing. And let´s not forget that they look pretty sweet too.

Which goggles would I recieve? The rasta only ones in the main picture or the newer model with the tree camo in the detail pics? Thanks

I just have a general Oakley goggle question, which is the largest (widest) goggle that oakley? I have a giant head
I believe Airbrake and crowbar are the biggest they make..
U should also look at POC Lobes, Electric EG2, Dragon APX which are ginormous....
I know you asked this a while ago, but to answer your question, the Oakley Canopy are truly gigantic. They do have a great field of vision, but are very varge looking.

Well I picked up a pair of these and was super stoked. ...Then I cracked the interior lens on the FIRST day up. I wouldn't think that they would break that easily. (I came into a slide wrong and fell but missed the box and only hit snow.) I looked at the warranty but can't find anything besides scratched lenses aren't under warranty. What should I do? I guess I will call them but the lens seems really weak to break like that and I am quite disappointed.
Read Backcountry's return policy. They are awesome!!

Do these goggles come with lenses. If so which ones?
These goggles do come with lenses. As you can see above, there are two choices of lenses that come with this goggle, fire iridium or persimmon. If you buy these goggles with one of the two lenses and you want another lens for different conditions to go with the first one, you can buy Oakley Crowbar lenses. Hope you get the crowbars cause they are great!

Does anybody have any suggestions on a pair of goggles for ventilation? To me this is way more important than anything else. Any information would be great. Thanks
I have a pair of crowbars and love them...they never fog up and in my opinion the ventilation on the crowbars is great. I would recommend these goggles. Plus the T-Hall graphics is awesome on these.

According to AS, Zubi gave an interview to Spanish television in which he also discussed the three-way La Liga title race.
Regarding Messi, Zubizarreta said there is no concern over his performances, with the reason some observers feel Messi is performing below par because he reached such heights previously.
"There's nothing wrong with Messi, only that we've been spoiled by him," Zubizarreta said.
"He's happy with the club and his teammates, he's training well and he's physically well. He knows football gives you challenges each week.
"(Contract talks) are going reasonably well. I say that to avoid the noise."
Zubizarreta added that he isn't concerned with the team's style under Tata Martino either, but acknowledged that the Copa del Rey had taken on greater significance.
"We want the team to be faithful to its way of playing. But it's clear the Cup is important to us," he confirmed.
"The great player we need [to play as a forward] is Leo. We aren't a team to play with a fixed No. 9. We need a more dynamic player in that position.
"When we had a pure No. 9 we never used him as such. Our style isn't to have a fixed player up there.
"We had 80 per cent of possession [against Granada] and ended up missing out on chances we created. We should have won and by a few goals.
"This team has a great present and a great future, I'm totally convinced."

Happy New Year!
I know better. But my actions speak louder.
In light of the knowledge of my inconsistency, this is my prayer for the New Year. I love the way the Puritans prayed...
O, my Saviour,
Thank you from the depths of my being
for your wondrous grace and love
in bearing my sin in your own body on the tree.
May your cross be to me
as the tree that sweetens my bitter Marahs,
as the rod that blossoms with life and beauty,
as the brazen serpent that calls forth the look of faith.
By your cross crucify my every sin;
Use it to increase my intimacy with yourself;
Make it to the ground of all my comfort,
the liveliness of all my duties,
the sum of all your gospel promises,
the comfort of all my afflictions,
the vigour of my love, thankfulness, graces,
the very essence of my religion.
And by it give me that rest without rest,
the rest of ceaseless praise.
And forgive me for lying about the running thing and the healthy breakfast.

I forgive you. You almost had me. I was thinking I had my sights set way too low. I've never included the 3 mile run, though the healthy breakfast I try to include. I pray this year that my intentions will, in His grace, become realities--even if just a few of those many good ones I made note of this morning.
A blessed and grace filled 2008 to all your precious family and the extended family of the kids in "the hood".

I was sooo on to you, I was momentarily moved by the Puritan prayer, but then it came- the confession!
We didn't even do our annual Christmas day exercise/hurkey contest-- slackers already.
Love you- this will be a great year.

I was just wondering where in the hood you found 3 safe miles to run early in the morning...I can't imaging you trotting along the sidewalks of Singleton infront of the Carnival market...I was on to you too!!!
A blessed 2008 to you!!

HAHAHA oh Lord dear Melissa! This was my thought process as I was just reading this: '*sigh* she is such a perfectly healthy godly woman, why can't I be more like her??*sigh*'. And then I read the last sentence. THANK YOU for being honest you big turd, even if you did wait until the end! haha :)

The very thought of aural, especially in examinations, strikes fear into the heart of many young pianists and instrumentalists. But aural should not be an occasional optional extra, it's something to be developing all the time, because having a good ear will help you to improve as a musician more than any other single musical skill.
Improve your Aural! Is designed to take the fear out of aural. Through fun listening activities, boxes to fill in and practice exercises, this workbook with CD focuses on all the elements of the aural test. And because all aspects of musical training are of course connected, a range of interconnected activities are included to help develop the ear including singing, clapping, playing your instrument, writing music down, improvising and composing.
This new edition of this popular series supports new ABRSM syllabus requirements from 2010, ensuring success in the aural test of graded exams.

Marilyn Manson joins Sons Of Anarchy season 7
Brian Warner, aka singer Marilyn Manson, will have a recurring role in Sons Of Anarchy season 7...
In a move that hopefully won't echo that time they made Bon Jovi play a plumber in Ally MacBeal, singer Marilyn Manson has joined Sons Of Anarchy for a recurring role in its seventh and probably final season.
Manson, aka Brian Warner, will be joining the beautiful people of Samcro in the role of Ron Tully (no relation to Caitlin, we assume), "a white supremacist prison shot-caller whom Jax uses to expand his power base".
Manson, whose recent on-screen appearances have included a part in Eastbound & Down, a voice role in Once Upon A Time, and not forgetting that time he popped up in then-girlfriend Rose McGowan's highschool teen movie Jawbreaker, has declared himself a huge fan of the Kurt Sutter drama. "Sons has been such a big part of my life, as well as my father's," he said, "so I was determined to make him proud by being involved in what will probably be remembered as the most amazing piece of television cinema. After all, the very heart of SOA is about that relationship. So, now all I need is a motorcycle." Not if your character's in prison, you won't, Mr Manson.
Sons Of Anarchy is due to return to FX in late September.

Free/Open-source Digital Audio Editors
,----[ Quote ]
| A digital audio editor is a computer application for audio editing or digital

| and different sound quality levels. Â* Â*
Renoise For Linux
,----[ Quote
| On January 17 of this year the first beta release of Renoise 1.9.1 was
| announced. Along with new features and fixes for its Windows and OSX
| versions, this release includes the first version of Renoise for Linux. This
| is rather significant news: Renoise is a popular program, with an active
| community of developers and users in the Win/Mac music worlds, and a native
| Linux release has been a community priority. The wait is over, so let's see
| (and hear) what Renoise brings to the Linux audio software party. Â* Â* Â*

,----[ Quote ]
| I hope this article has been enlightening with regards to the presence of

"Young people are the future," said Vice President for Academic Affairs William Licht. And by training students to teach, Maranatha plays a unique part in shaping that future—here in the U.S. and around the world.
With the ever-increasing ease of traveling cross culturally, students now have greater access into foreign countries. Opportunities for Maranatha students to teach in schools of Guam, Lebanon, China, Saipan, Peru, Albania, and other countries have opened within the last few years.
"The School of Education exists to train high quality teachers who will positively impact young people for Christ," Licht explained. "This is done by convincing future teachers that teaching both the heart and mind of young people are vitally important." Licht's vision for the School of Education is to prepare "godly educators who are not only superbly trained academically, but are making a radical difference for Christ in the lives of students they encounter."
Each degree program is designed to challenge students on many different levels, including academically, spiritually, and socially, and to expose them to a broad range of instructional methods, learning styles, and ministry options—some of which will affect the direction of their lives.
"One of the ways I fulfilled my fieldwork was through tutoring at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission," shared 2011 graduate Jessica Larson. "Interacting with inner-city students every Thursday night gave me a burden to reach out to the lost with the gospel." Larson currently teaches second grade at Harvest Christian Academy in Guam and is pursuing a Master of Education in Teaching and Learning online degree from Maranatha Baptist University.
"The education I received at Maranatha prepared me to teach every subject from a biblical worldview," Larson remarked. "The teachers I had while at Maranatha clearly desired to glorify God in all they did. I would like to instill in my students the same love for God and a passion for his glory."
Maranatha's education degrees blend traditional classroom instruction with hands-on training in elementary and secondary classrooms across the nation. Sophomores and juniors are required to complete over 100 hours of fieldwork—observing, journaling, participating in classroom work, and teaching in cooperating schools. Seniors work alongside a certified teacher to complete 18 weeks of student teaching. As required by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, student teaching covers the cooperating schools' entire semester.
"Learning how you start and how you finish is always important," said Mr. David Handyside, Director of Field Experiences. "Such a timetable offers more opportunities to experience all aspects of teaching, from the opening of the semester, when classes are initially engaged, to the end of the semester, when classes are closed and assessments are documented."
Maranatha's School of Education holds the distinction of offering regionally accredited degrees, a benefit that helps speed students on their way when considering going on to graduate school, obtaining licensure, teaching nationwide, or serving overseas. "In some states, including Wisconsin, only individuals with a regionally accredited degree can obtain a teaching license beyond a simple substitutive teacher license," Licht commented.
Maranatha graduates teach in over 30 states across the U.S. and in five foreign countries, a true reflection of the reciprocity of a Maranatha degree. Students who complete all of the academic requirements (i.e., fieldwork, student teaching, GPA requirements, Praxis II content testing, etc.) may apply for full licensure to teach in classrooms at home and around the world.
Cooperating teachers consistently recommend Maranatha student teachers, and administrators appreciate the preparation and professionalism of the graduates. "In my 11 years as vice principal, I have worked and networked with as well as helped hire educators from various Christian schools," said Orlando Duarte, 2002 graduate and vice principal at Christian High School in El Cajon, CA. "During this time it has been clear to me that Maranatha prepares teachers to become 'whole' Christian educators."
Students become teachers at MBU—teachers with a passion for education and a willingness to serve wherever God leads, whether in a local community or in a foreign land. "Generations of young people can be either positively or negatively influenced by their teachers," shared Licht. "We're seeking to train teachers who demonstrate a servant's heart, a teachable spirit, an inner drive to constantly improve, and the God-given desire to impact lives '. . . so that the generation to come . . . might set their hope in God' (Psalm 78:6-8)."

I have just one suggestion:To include a "coffee kit" containing at least two coffee paper filters, coffee bags, and sugar. I mean, you have already placed the coffee maker in each apartment and it is not viable nor easy for the customers to purchase it outside the hotel.Thanks.
"Thank you for your hospitality"

"Centrally Located"
3rd May 2011, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Centrally located, close to the ferries, shopping and bus station. Clean room, a little small for 3 people, but we were only there to sleep and change. Good breakfast, waiters were very attentive. Most of the people at reception were friendly. We enjoyed staying there and booked another day on our return to Sao Paulo.

Denis Provencher accepted the nomination and Glen Knowles supported the nomination. M/S/P: The committee unanimously elected Denis Provencher as secretary.
IV. Faculty Senate report from last year
The chair briefly summarized the Faculty Senate Library committee report from 2002-2003. He highlighted a few activities including the Library Committee's role to integrate information literacy into the General-education program, the January 2003 presentation to UWL faculty and administrators on this same topic, and the committee's overall contributions to the UWL strategic plan. Gerber will circulate this report via email and has encouraged members to read it and become acquainted with the prior activities associated with this committee. He also invited members to bring suggestions and ideas about committee activities to the October meeting.
V. Strategic Directions document
Both Anita Evans and Paul Beck spoke to the committee about the activities of the UW-System Library task force. Anita Evans encouraged committee members to read the draft of the 2003-2005 strategic plan. Evans and Beck both spoke about the recent initiative associated with digital collections (UWDC) and the potential of such new technologies for UWL faculty and class instruction. Discussion ensued about several issues including the dissemination of information about new technologies to faculty across the four colleges, the challenges associated with digitization of material in certain disciplines (including digital journals) and the efficacy of such online services as ILLIAD and Odyssey. Both Glen Knowles and Cynthia Berlin expressed their concern about the quality and reliability of digital journals, the access to such information by community members and the desire to maintain hard copies when possible. Anita Evans mentioned the Murphy Library website as a means to disseminate up-to-date information to UWL faculty and encouraged faculty members to make their voices heard about issues related to digital media. Anita Evans also encouraged the committee to send comments to her on the strategic plan document before the CUWL meeting on Monday September 29, 2003.
It was the general consensus that this committee would continue to act as a sounding board for faculty across campus about all of these issues. The chair reminded the committee to think first and foremost about the quality of instruction and access to discipline-specific materials for both students and faculty at UW-L.
VI. Meeting times
The committee discussed meeting times for the fall semester and agreed upon the third Wednesday of every month. The next meeting will take place on Wednesday October 15th at 4:00 pm.
The meeting adjourned at 5:00 pm.
Respectively submitted,
Denis Provencher

During my six year reign as king o' the castle, I have become experienced at a lot of things: changing poopy diapers, saying no to almost everything and repeating commands over and over until they must be yelled to be followed. One thing I am still adapting to is the dizzying speed at which my child goes through trends.
I committed a cardinal error asking, "Why Frisbee golf, as opposed to regular golf or regular Frisbee." It's actually called "Disc Golf" and if you use the word Frisbee in the presence of a serious player you will receive a stern rebuke.
Have you ever caught yourself judging someone by their appearance? It is amazing how prideful we can be while also living in denial about it.
Non-electronic games, whether it be a dice game, a card game, a miniature game or a board game, are more popular than ever. Gone are the days where you could choose between Monopoly, Clue or the Game of Life. Strategy is no longer limited to Battleship, Risk or Stratego.
On just about any given weekend, somewhere in our region, you can find one or more community meal events: fish fries, barbecues, breakfasts (Bloomingdale Ruritan even offers "Breakfast for Supper"), and bean dinners. I have attended several fish fries throughout the region, and plan to give coverage to as many as possible in the future.
The United States recently celebrated the 60th anniversary of "In God We Trust" as our National motto established as a law. This sentiment has been well documented throughout our nation's history as a spiritual acknowledgment of our faith in the God of the Bible.
On April 20th the U.S. Treasury Department announced a tentative plan to replace Andrew Jackson with Harriet Tubman on the $20 dollar bill. First let me say that I have no objection to Harriet Tubman. She rightfully earned her place in history. However, I have mixed feelings about seeing Andy Jackson lose his place.
The 53rd consecutive season of "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," the official outdoor drama of the Commonwealth of Virginia and member of The Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail, continues through Sept. 3.
We can cry out to God when we are experiencing a crisis and that is truly a blessing, but it's also important to thank and praise Him after He comes to our rescue.
I don't like today's computerized voting technology. Maybe it's because I'm just an old doggie. My vote is to bring back heavy metal. Since 2010, no election in the United States has used a mechanical gear-and-lever voting machine, according to Ballotpedia, the online encyclopedia of American politics.
WISE – My lovely bride announced she was going to an evening Sip 'N Paint excursion hosted by a local winery. My initial response was essentially along the lines of, "You're gonna sip whaaaat?" So she explained to the dense one in her life that, no, nobody in their right mind goes to the local winery to sip paint.
Anxiety is associated with fear, and I believe many would agree that our country is feeling a little nervous as this coming presidential election continues to draw closer. Serious problems are causing stress as we try to decide who would be the best person to lead our nation.
BLOUNTVILLE — Volunteers are the heart of any non-profit organization. The Bridge Home No-Kill Animal Rescue is no exception. I recently made a trip over to Bridge Home and spent a little bit of time talking to three volunteers and the shelter's executive director.
God has given us a powerful mind but it is up to our free-will to train and take control of what we think about which is directly associated with how we feel. If we are afraid and worried, we can choose to turn away from the negative influences and meditate on positive thoughts which brings encouragement and hope.
My mother had been saying or a couple of years now that she'd like to go on somewhat of a long trip, "all the way to Greeneville" — but I knew we'd really be going back to 1970. That's the year we lost Mrs. Taylor.

Underdog Undergrads From Jersey City Win Investing Competition
Forget Wichita State. The biggest Cinderella this year was New Jersey City University.
A plucky team of student investors from the small Jersey City, N.J., public university with about 6,000 undergrads went up against an international field of competitors in the University of Dayton's 13th annual investing competition, and came out the winners in the heavily contested growth category. The winners for 2012 were crowned at the RISE forum this past weekend.
Each year, the University of Dayton holds the international student portfolio competition among national and international schools; about 50 schools competed this year. Student investment teams managing actual money are graded on both a total return and risk-adjusted basis. Past winners have included large schools from Rice University to Marquette University.
"We went there as underdogs but by the end, everyone was congratulating us. It felt great to get our name on the map," said Sherifa Abdalla, a 27-year old NJCU student. For the year, the student group, composed of mainly undergrads, returned 17.94%. The S&P 500, by comparison, gained about 13% in 2012.
"The competition is a way they can compare themselves against other kids in a similar environment," said Paul Bobrowski, dean of the University of Dayton's School of Business Administration. "For the kids at New Jersey City University, it gives them a bit of self-confidence that they are now on par with some of the institutions that are maybe better known or have much larger portfolios."
The thing that separated the Jersey City kids from the rest of the pack was one bold decision they made, said Andrew Armanus, president of the NJCU Student Investment Management Team. "The best thing we did is we bought 27 stocks in the dip in October," he said, "and that was the game changer for us."
Armanus, a 23-year old senior originally from Egypt, said the team had been roughly in line with the S&P 500 for much of the year until the October decision. To ensure it kept risk low, the group also made sure not to have more than 5% in any one stock.
In all, six universities took home prizes including California State University, Northridge, in the value category and Elizabethtown College in the core category. Entrants included investment teams managing as little as $4,000 to as much as $11 million.
Among NJCU's big picks was Texas Capital Bancshares Inc., which gained 46% during 2012. The group had wanted a regional bank and pushed into the small Texas firm, hoping it would benefit from a rebound in property prices.
Another smart play was a decision to wait on Facebook. The group wanted to purchase the social media giant around its initial public offering, but thought the price was too high. When Facebook dipped below $19 in October, the group pounced, benefiting from a run above $25 by the end of the year.
That NJCU was even in the competition seemed improbable only a few years ago. The investment group was created after former New Jersey Rep. Frank Guarini donated $100,000 to the student investment management team. The first few years after his donation the returns were fair but the group was disorganized.
That changed with Bernard McSherry, who became an adviser to the team and university faculty member in 2011. Prior to getting his doctorate, McSherry had been a senior vice president of strategic initiatives at New York broker Cuttone & Co., where he chaired several New York Stock Exchange committees and served as an NYSE governor for six terms.
"At my first meeting, someone wanted to buy shares in a Brazilian chicken ranch," said McSherry. "We quickly had to change the thinking."
McSherry and the investment team's leadership decided to reorganize into four "silos," with portfolio managers in charge of each silo and four analysts reporting to each manager. The group meets weekly, rebalances its portfolio twice a year, and has a target of holding roughly 40 stocks at any given time. Today, the investment team manages about $160,000.
"In 2010, I kind of gave up thinking I could do this from NJCU, but having Bernie come in was the light at the end of the tunnel," said Armanus, who is hoping to become a Chartered Financial Analyst and work in equity research following his graduation in May.
(About 50 schools competed in the portfolio challenge this year; an earlier version of this post said more than 200 schools competed. The NJCU's investment returns its first few years were fair, but the group was disorganizes; an earlier version said they weren't "strong.")

Not Far From the Tree: Apples Lead Japan Scientists to New Drug
They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away, and that's the principle behind a new diabetes drug from Japan that has just won approval in the U.S.
The drug, known by the brand name Invokana, will be sold by Johnson & Johnson in the U.S., as the WSJ reports, but its origin lies in the labs of Japan's Tanabe, now part of Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
The Tanabe scientists started with a compound called phlorizin, which was discovered in 1835 in the bark of apple trees and has been studied in connection with diabetes for more than a century. Phlorizin, also found in other fruit trees, is one of the polyphenols, the common plant compounds that are credited for the health benefits of a diet rich in fruit and vegetables.
Studies showed that phlorizin could block reabsorption of glucose in the kidney. That meant more glucose went out in urine, potentially helping diabetics control their blood sugar, as this article in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery explains.
Since phlorizin itself was hard for the body to absorb, a Tanabe team started tweaking the structure and teamed up with J&J in 2000 to test an early compound.
Thirteen years later, after a further tweak to the molecule and tests in thousands of patients, the two have an approved drug in the U.S. Analysts say annual sales could top $500 million, although some doctors have warned about safety in patients with impaired kidneys.
It's the latest example of Japanese scientists drawing on nature to develop drugs. Others include the multiple-sclerosis drug Gilenya from an insect-invading fungus —a product of another predecessor company to today's Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma–and Eisai Co.'s breast-cancer drug Halaven, derived from a sea sponge.

"My kids love dancing. They just dance around the way they like it, they have fun. They have been dancing to latest Bollywood numbers. Even my husband dances good, he can move around on the dance floor. But he has not learned dancing," Madhuri Dixit told PTI in an interview.
Madhuri Dixit danced her way into the hearts of audience with popular numbers like Dhak Dhak Karne Laga, Ek Do Teen, Humko Aaj Kal Hai, Chane Ke Khet Mein, Didi Tera Devar Deewana, Choli Ke Peechhe, Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, Kay Sera Sera and Maar Daala among others.
For all those who are tired of going to the gym and getting on the boring treadmill, the dancing diva will be sharing her secrets of staying in shape through a special 'Dancercise' workout.
She has introduced this new module through her online dance academy. She has come up with an innovative concept called 'Dancercise' which can be accessed on her online academy.
"Dancing is all about the body, mind and soul. It (dancing) itself is a great workout regime to stay fit and I wanted to share the dancercise sessions with people who want to have a fun workout. 'Dancercise' is something where people can enjoy exercising and dancing at the same time," she said.
Madhuri Dixit has incorporated her famous signature steps to make the exercise interesting and not mundane; the regime will assure a great workout and help to tone the entire body.
"As of now we have songs like Tamma Tamma Loge (Thanedaar), Chane Ke Khet Mein (Anjaam) and others. We will have signature steps from these songs with a touch of exercise," she said.

Roasted Eggplant and Garlic Soup
2 (1-pound) eggplants
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
4 heads Roasted Garlic
1 large white onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
6 cups Vegetable or Chicken Stock
1/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
1/4 cup prepared pesto sauce
1/2 cup strained yogurt
Serves 6 to 8
Printable Version
Cut the eggplants in half and score the cut sides, being careful not to cut through the skin. Rub the cut surfaces with the salt. Drain the eggplant halves on paper towels, cut-side-down, for 20 minutes.
Preheat the over to 450 degrees. Dry the cut surfaces of the eggplants and brush them with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Place the eggplants, cut-side-down on the baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for at least 20 minutes.
Using a large spoon, scoop the pulp from the cooked eggplant halves into a bowl, discarding the skin. Squeeze the roasted garlic from the skins into the same bowl. Set aside.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a small stockpot or Dutch oven set on high heat until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, red pepper flakes, cumin, cinnamon, mint and parsley and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the onion is soft. Add the reserved roasted eggplant and garlic and the vegetable or chicken stock, stirring well to mix. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer with the lid slightly ajar for 15-20 minutes.
Process the soup in several batches in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return to the pot and reheat.
To serve, ladel the soup into shallow soup bowls and top with the roasted peppers, pesto and yogurt.

National Poetry Month: 'I'm Charles' By Charles Simic
For National Poetry Month, Speakeasy has chosen to examine the poem "I'm Charles," by Charles Simic, author of the collection "New and Selected Poems, 1962-2012."
"It was written over several years, the original idea being something about being hung by the tongue from the scaffold of language. Then, of course, it got more complicated with God joining the fray," Simic wrote in an email message.
Simic, who emigrated to the U.S. from Yugoslavia in 1954, has been publishing poetry since 1959 and was appointed Poet Laureate in 2007. He is the 1990 recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. A longtime professor at the University of New Hampshire, he still resides there.
"I tinker with poems every day, but write a new one only now and then," he wrote. He writes for the New York Review of Books and reads on a broad range of subjects. "Just the other day I finished a biography of Russian composer [Sergei] Prokofiev and I reread some eighty pages of Emerson's journals."
I'm Charles
Swaying handcuffed
On an invisible scaffold,
Hung by the unsayable
Little something
Night and day take turns
Paring down further.
My Mind's a ghost house
Open to the starlight.
My back's covered with graffiti
Like an elevated train.
Snowflakes swarm
Around my bare head
Choking with laughter
At my last-minute contortions
To write something on my chest
With my already bitten,
Already bleeding tongue.
