SAN RAFAEL, Calif. – Marketing and communications agency Dispatch Communications has hired former Ducati MotoGP press officer and motorcycle journalist Chris Jonnum as powersports director to lead a new, dedicated motorsports practice.
"Over the last two years, Dispatch has consistently added motorsports and powersports-related work," said Dispatch founder Eric Doyne. "The formalization of our experience in this area into a dedicated practice, along with Jonnum's leadership, will enable us to deepen our capabilities for existing clients while offering our expertise to new brands."
Last year, Dispatch helped Bell Helmets relaunch its motorcycle-inspired bicycle division. Additionally, the agency has executed ongoing motorsports-related initiatives for clients Michelin and Red Bull.
"I was immediately impressed with Doyne and the Dispatch team and knew it was the right environment for me," said Jonnum, who will work from his native Long Beach, Calif. "I'm confident that my deep knowledge of the powersports industry and Dispatch's first-rate reputation and long-standing client relationships will make this one of the leading practices in the industry."
A former amateur motorcycle racer, Jonnum worked in various positions for CN Publishing's Cycle News and Personal Watercraft Illustrated titles over a 10-year period before launching Filter Publications' Road Racer X in 2003 and serving as editor for its entire eight-year life.
From 2011 to 2013, he worked as press officer for Ducati's factory MotoGP squad, following the international GP circuit and gaining positive impressions for some of the top racers and one of the motorcycle industry's most iconic brands. Jonnum also has editorial experience at MTB magazine and is still an avid cyclist.

CKI Buys New Zealand's EnviroWaste for $422 Million
Li Ka-shing, Asia's richest man, has been shopping in Australasia again.
Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings – a utility-and-infrastructure company directly controlled by Mr. Li's conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa – has agreed to buy New Zealand waste management business EnviroWaste for 501 million New Zealand dollars (US$422 million).
The acquisition from Australian private equity firm Ironbridge gives Cheung Kong Infrastructure ownership of landfill sites, recycling depots, and technology that captures methane gas for power generation in New Zealand.
Hong Kong-listed Cheung Kong Infrastructure has been rapidly expanding its war chest for acquisitions, including through share placements and issuing fixed-rate callable perpetual securities last year. Some of its more recent deals include the purchase of Northumbrian Water in the U.K., while it was part of a group that acquired gas-distribution company MGN Gas Networks (UK) Ltd. for £645 million (US$1.04 billion) in the middle of last year.
In Australia, Cheung Kong Infrastructure owns a stake in ASX-listed Envestra Ltd. and Spark Infrastructure along with a range of power-utility businesses, including SA Power Networks in South Australia state and CitiPower and Powercor in Victoria state.
Cheung Kong Infrastructure's deal for Envirowaste, which includes the assumption of finance lease obligations, represents a multiple of 10 times fiscal 2012 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda.
Deal Journal Australia reported in May that fiscal 2012 Ebitda was projected between NZ$50 million and NZ$60 million.
Ironbridge acquired EnviroWaste from Fulton Hogan in April 2007 for NZ$259 million and has since made 17 bolt-on acquisitions and more than doubled Ebitda.
Ironbridge founding partner Julian Knights said in a statement that EnviroWaste's management team would continue to lead the business under CKI's ownership.
Ironbridge targets investments in Australian and New Zealand businesses with an enterprise value of between A$50 million and A$250 million, primarily in the outsourced services, financial services and healthcare sectors. A person familiar with the matter said the firm is likely to begin raising its third fund later in 2013.
UBS advised Cheung Kong Infrastructure while Macquarie advised Ironbridge.

The 'Carbon Belch Day' Conundrum
Kevin Grandia | June 2, 2008
By Kevin Grandia • Monday, June 2, 2008 - 11:13
We have received a lot of emails asking our thoughts on the so-called "Carbon Belch Day" being pushed by a right-wing grassroots organizer named Steve Elliot and his website Grassfire.
Normally we try not to stray too far into the left vs. right side of the global warming argument, however in this case it is hard to ignore. To say Elliot is "right-wing" is an understatement - according to his bio, Elliot "has rallied citizens on a host of grassroots issues, including border security, tax reform, abortion, traditional marriage, supporting our troops, exposing media bias and defending the Pledge of Allegiance."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to "Cheat Sheet," ROBOT 6′s guide to the week ahead. It's only Monday, but our contributors have their eyes on Wednesday releases, ranging from Sex Criminals #1 by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky to the fifth volume of A Bride's Story by Kaoru Mori to the Dark Horse collection of Cameron Stewart's acclaimed webcomic Sin Titulo.
To see what we're looking forward to this week, just keep reading.
Conventions | Creators like Neal Adams, Tim Bradstreet, Howard Chaykin, Amanda Conner and Scott Lobdell will headline the Long Beach Comic & Horror Con, held Saturday and Sunday at the Long Beach Convention Center. "I think most of our artists are thrilled to come back each year," said Phil Lawrence, principal sales director for the event. "This is the earliest we sold out our Artists Alley and we have almost 190 tables. By focusing on the artists and giving them their due, they seem to keep coming back and signing up earlier — and they promote the show, which helps us out, too." [Gazettes.com]
Conventions | Tucson Comic-Con may be small, but it puts comics — not other entertainment — front and center. [Arizona Daily Star]
Conventions | Also up this week: Rhode Island Comic Con, which doesn't eschew the other media but boasts RISD alumnus Walt Simonson as the headline guest. [The Providence Phoenix]
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.

If I had $15, I'd line up to get the this year's CBLDF Liberty Annual #5 (Image, $4.99). I'm an anthology junkie, and this hits that perfectly while also benefiting a good cause. The creator list is amazing – even without knowing who's working with whom. After that, I'd get Happy #2 (Image, $2.99). This book's first issue hit me harder than I expected; I was buying it for Grant Morrison to wow me with his writing, but it was Darick Robertson's artwork that hit me square between the eyes. I've read all the issues of Transmetropolitan and most of The Boys, but his art here has graduated up a level and I'm almost salivating at thinking of this second issue. Third this week would be Wolverine and the X-Men #19 (Marvel, $3.99), quietly usurping Uncanny X-Force as my favorite Marvel book on the stands. Last issue's Doop-centric theme was great for me, but I'm excited to see star pupil Nick Bradshaw back on pencils for this issue.
If I had $30, I'd double back and get Higher Earth, Vol. 1 (Boom!, $14.99) Canceled or not, this series looks interesting despite my bailing after Issue 1. It's a complicated concept (from what I gleaned from the first issue), but I'm looking to let Humphries school me on this.
If I could splurge, I'd snatch up EC: Wally Wood – Came the Dawn and Other Stories (Fantagraphics, $28.99). I've been aware of Wally Wood for a almost two decades now, but I tend to go through periods of simply floating around before I consume and learn more about him in short but voracious periods. Last time it was in the bloom of Fear Agent, and seeing this in Previews a few months back got me jonesing to do it again.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. We've each picked the five comics we're most anticipating in order to create a list of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.

Avengers #1 (Marvel): Has Marvel NOW! already gotten enough attention? Maybe so, but that's partly the reason I'm highlighting this specific book. In the rising tide that's pushed all of the Marvel NOW relaun!ches, for me — as a fan and journalist — the marketing has dulled the unique appeal of every book. Flipping through Previews and giving this a deeper critical eye, it made me realize – this is Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña doing Avengers, the de facto flagship book of Marvel since 2004. Opeña really turned a corner with Uncanny X-Force, and I'm interested to see how Hickman brings his meticulous plotting to a biweekly book with a cast larger than Circus of the Stars. And what's interesting is that he's done a version of this when he relaunched the "Ultimate" version of the Avengers in Ultimate Comics: Ultimates. I'm not saying this will be that re-heated over, but it'll be interesting to see how he takes roughly the same characters and bobs instead of weaves.
Hiroaki Samura's Emerald and Other Stories (Dark Horse): Samura's Blade of the Immortal was a major manga when it debuted, but when you have one artist doing a long, drawn-out story it tends to dull in the eyes of fans on the outside looking in. But his short-story collection Ohikkoshi was fun, modern and completely different – a great bite-size snack from the eight-course meal/buffet that is Blade of the Immortal. This collection looks to be like that, centered around Samura's western teen drama Emerald. I've heard of another set of stories called Bradherley's Coach about a family whose business is to ferry orphans to their new home, which I hope is in here as well.
Mara #1 (Image): I've been loving Brian Wood's work since he jumped to AiT-PlanetLar too many years ago, and seeing him branch out with another new series makes me wish for Brian Wood Month all over again. Besides swami Brian, it's the artist he's doing this with that really deserves some attention; Ming Doyle has killed it in her work featured on Project: Rooftop (shameless plug), and when she moved to doing shorts for Marvel in things like Fantastic Four she showed she could really play with the big boys. Seeing Wood and Doyle doing a sports-themed action series set in the future, this is a unique-looking story that'll be at the top of my stack when it comes out on Dec. 26.
Hip Flask: Ourborous (Image): In comics today there's a rare group of artists that are like J.R.R. Tolkien's Ents; an older race who were once masters of the world but now subsist on making rare, but eventful appearances. Alan Moore is this way; so is Art Adams. To that list I'd like to add Ladrönn. This has my money, even if I didn't know how great a story this is.
Orcs, Vol. 1: Forged For War (First Second): Speaking of Tolkien, am I the only one that felt compassion for the Orcs in Lord of the Rings? Well, this reprinted graphic novel by writer Stan Nicholls and artist Joe Flood brings the orc race to the forefront. Orc Stain was great, and this could be too!

Having looked at what women want in superhero comics, let's examine their attitudes toward poop jokes.
Sean Michael Wilson, the editor of the alt-manga anthology AX, didn't do a scientific survey, but he did read the reviews of his book and noticed something interesting:
However, one aspect has surprised both myself and Asakawa, the Japanese editor – quite a few female American reviewers have taken issue with the large amount of scatalogical toilet humour and also the sexual content of the collection. Somehow they seem to find it offensive, or unpleasant, or immature. It was surprising to me to see this kind of reaction, as it never occurred to me at all – as a British person – that these could be seen as negative.
It was surprising to me that Sean would find this surprising, but maybe that's because I'm a female American comics reviewer, and I have always regarded potty humor as the purview of seven-year-old boys. I haven't been to Scotland since I was six years old; now I'm beginning to wonder what I'm missing. Do sophisticated people there stand around at gallery openings sipping Cabernet and cracking fart jokes?

Big L School Days Lyrics
Last updated: 11/17/2009 11:00:00 AM
Ay yo Rookie, is a game that a fool plays
Im sitting here reminiscin bout my school days
Ay yo I used to go mad fresh
Scoop the chick, stupid prick, gettin' digits and the address
Yo they was jockin, cause I was clockin fast cash
I slid a chick everyday after last class
Strictly a sex thang
Let me explain
I hit 'em up, get 'em up, and put 'em on the next train
My trademark was black glasses
I cut the wack classes
Then slide off with some cutie pies with fat (hey)
Yo all the fellas was amazed
By the way I was mackin females in my school days
[Chorus: x4]
Yes yes yall (here we go, here we go)
Ay yo the school always do, A whole bunch rhymes
Thats why it was battles everyday at lunch time
A brother battled me once it was plain wack
I played him so bad he left school and never came back
And in the lunchroom it was a Big L thing
I made so much noise that you could'nt hear the bell ring
One of us closed the do's,to the top I rose
And got props when I rocked the school talent shows
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
My opponents got scarred fast
Thats why everytime they see me they did the hundred yard dash
I left MCs and they whole crew phased
Yea, thats how I did it in my school days
When I first got inside high school, I wasnt known
I rolled alone but I held my own
I was a freshman, in other words a new jack
When you mentioned Big L, brothers was like "Who's that?!"
Then I made the master plan
Know I got a batch of fans
And when you mention my name now- "oh thats my man"
Just see how
Its all about me now
All the girls scream owww
When I drop freestyles
When I roll the whole crews on the scenery
So those who envy me
Cant do a thing to me
I used to move alone now my crews fat
I went from a new jack
To a new mack, thats true black
Who ate rappers like sufflays
I came off like toupees
Yea, thats how I did it in my school days

The 28 Most Fabulous Figure Skating Costumes of All Time
Emma Watson Dior's Mise en Dior single pearl earring Pearl studs might be the preppy girls go-to accessory, but Emma Watson manages to make the piece edgy by going with a single earring. The lone-lobe look paired with her Dior dress-over-pants ensemble says fashion and she doesnt even have to whip out a Confundus Charm to convince us that it works.
This cuff looks classic from afar, but the antique Fred Leighton piece is no plain-Jane bracelet. Worn midway up her forearm, the gold accessory is serpent-shaped with a pointed tail and emerald head that's stunning on its own, but adds extra oomph to her slithery Lanvin dress.

Posição oficial da Parte Russa em relação à situação na Síria
Article by Russian President Vladimir Putin published in the US newspaper New York Times.
Vladimir Putin summed up the results of the G20 Summit and answered journalists' questions.
In light of the aggravation of the situation around Syria, it is especially worrying that any forceful action against this country may touch objects which are sensitive in terms of nuclear security and nuclear non-proliferation.
We continue to receive alarming signals about an approaching military interference in the Syrian conflict without proper sanctions from the UN Security Council. As before, we consider that such a position is absolutely contrary to international law and is therefore unacceptable.
The reaction of the international community and individual states to the use of chemical weapons shall remain within a strict legal framework. At the same time, any reaction must be supported by the results of a thorough independent investigation.
On the eve of the G20 Summit, Vladimir Putin gave an interview to Channel One and the Associated Press news agency. The interview was recorded in Novo-Ogaryovo on September 3.
We draw attention to the mass filling of information space with different materials, the purpose of which is to impose responsibility for the alleged use of chemical weapons in Damascus on the Syrian officials, before the results of the UN investigation are presented. Thus, "the ground is prepared" for forceful action against Syria. In view of this, we deem it possible to share the main conclusions of the Russian analysis of the samples taken in the place of the incident using military poisonous substances in the Aleppo suburb – Khan al-Asal.
Dear colleagues and friends,
I am really glad to acknowledge our regular meeting, which we traditionally have on the Day of Knowledge. I would especially like to welcome first year students, and hope that they join this sort of family, fully mastering its tradition, maintaining the continuity of generations.
First and foremost my trip reflects the importance that Siberia and the Far East hold for Russia.
In general my trip was planned. But of course, after the well-known, difficult events triggered by floods and linked with flood control, we had to modify the agenda a little bit, and spend more time on precisely those issues.
The BRICS Ministers for Foreign Affairs met in New York on September 26th, 2012, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and discussed among other issues the situation in Syria.
They expressed their deep concern with the escalation of violence and the deterioration of the security and humanitarian situation in Syria with reports of growing violations of human rights and of humanitarian international law.
According to the coming information, the escalation of tension in Syria continues. There still are the armed clashes in different districts of the country. Recently came up the facts of massacre against Syrian civilians in Daraa near Damascus, where bodies of more than two hundred people, including women and children, were found after it had been freed by governmental troops. This is another provocative crime, analogous in pattern to those, which took place earlier and provoked the huge international resonance.

Progress in Wall Turbulence: Understanding and Modeling
Volume 14 of the series ERCOFTAC Series pp 377-384
Near-Wall Measurements and Wall Shear Stress
- T. Gunnar JohanssonAffiliated withChalmers University of Technology Email author
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
The near wall region in turbulent boundary layer flows is important for many reasons and is at the focus of many investigations. It is however very difficult to study this region experimentally, partly because of strong demands on spatial resolution, but also because the presence of the wall influences the performance of the measurements. In this contribution we try to detect and quantify problems with very near wall measurements using laser Doppler anemometry, and, in particular, with the determination of the wall shear stress. Several experiments are considered: a wall jet, and smooth and rough boundary layers, both with zero and favorable pressure gradients. Three methods were used to obtain the wall shear stress. Two of them are based only on velocity measurements and are referred to as "the momentum integral method" and "the wall gradient method". The third method, oil film interferometry was used only in the case of the wall jet. In all experiments, problems with spatial resolution were encountered, with the exception of the smooth flat plate at very low speed. This was the only case in which the wall gradient of the mean velocity could be determined with reasonable accuracy. The momentum integral method worked for the boundary layers, but not for the wall jet, where a small secondary motion was present in spite of purely two-dimensional boundary conditions. The momentum integral method was the only one that could be applied to the rough boundary layers. The oil film method worked well in the wall jet, but could naturally not be applied on the rough surfaces.

The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo Chapter 95 Summary
The Father and Daughter
- Back at Danglars's house, Eugénie confronts her dad once and for all. She tells him she doesn't want to marry Andrea Cavalcanti.
- Mr. Danglars tells her that he needs Cavalcanti's three million francs to back him so that he can restore his reputation and his line of credit. Mr. Danglars wants to borrow money to start investing in railroads in America.
- Eugénie agrees then to sign the marriage contract, but she tells her dad not to use an ounce of Andrea's money. She seems to have a secret or some reason for telling her dad this, but Mr. Danglars is just so happy – she's finally agreed to get hitched and he's on his way to make more money – that he doesn't listen to her.

Join the Voices of the Village
The Greater Hyannis Civic Association is inviting everyone with a stake in the future of Hyannis, West Hyannisport, and Hyannisport to attend a Voices of the Village meeting April 26 at 7 p.m. at Hyannis West Elementary School on West Main Street.
"Time will be allocated to discuss the foundations and strengths of Hyannis, the issues that the audience feels are threatening their quality of life, and the benefit that could be gained if the issues can be addressed," the Association stated in a press release.
Besides the general public, invitees include representatives of the town council, town administration, and police department, regulatory services, growth management, DPW, and school department. Others include Housing Assistance Corporation, the Barnstable Housing Authority, the Main Street Initiative, the district attorney's office, Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District, Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce, the Hyannis Area Chamber of Commerce, and realtors and landlords.
Task forces will be formed to address the top five issues, and a follow-up meeting at the school on May 17 will present action plans for each.
Tea time in Barnstable Village
It's not too early to make a reservation for the 12:30 or 2:30 p.m. seatings for the fabled St. Mary's Church daffodil tea on April 30. For tickets ($20), call 508-362-3977 soon, but no later than April 20.
Dollars for scholars
Members of the Osterville Men's Club, resplendent in jackets and ties, had reason for pride at their April 6 meeting in Hyannis at the Radisson Hotel. They learned that the organization had awarded $17,000 in scholarships to five Barnstable High School students, and that an additional $15,000 would be given to members of the Class of 2011.
The club was founded in 1957 to "promote good fellowship and sociability among members and be of good service and credit to the community."

The Centerville Civic Association board will venture out of the Centerville Fire Station for its next two meetings. May's session is set for the Centerville Public Library, and June will likely find the group at the Recreation Building.
Planning is well under way for the Memorial Day Pancake Breakfast, set for 7 to 10:30 a.m. at Our Lady of Victory Parish Center. The price hasn't been raised in a decade, according to Pete Fisher.
At the Association's April 4 meeting, Doug Warren of Four Seas Ice Cream said plans to bring the business community together to discuss mutual interests are proceeding. The Centerville Historical Museum will host a gathering May 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., and there's talk about putting together a map of area businesses and cultural offerings.
Town Manager John Klimm has been asking the village associations what they'd like to see in the coming fiscal year's budget. Centerville President Meg Loughran said she understands the town's budget constraints, but would like to see trash barrels at Craigville Beach into the shoulder season and have public bathrooms there open on weekends.
(At the West Barnstable Civic Association meeting April 5, President Karen McMahon said a priority for her village is work on the community building on Route 149. Klimm planned to tour the building with her this morning (April 8).
Doings in West Barnstable
They were talking about the West Barnstable spaghtetti supper everywhere this week, even at the Centerville Civic Association. The Centerville group, which serves about 375 pancake breakfasts on Memorial Day, noted that its northwest neighbor had plated more than 450 meals April 2.
At the WB Civic Association meeting April 5, Kris Clark had the official number: 489, with a little bit of food left over to donate to the Noah Shelter in Hyannis. It was an event for all ages: Clark said a van of people from a Sandwich nursing home attended, while President Karen McMahon said she saw a lot of younger families with little ones in tow.
The Meetinghouse Farm board remains interested in doing something with the Paine Black House on Route 149 across from the fire station. The town is looking to lease, not sell, the 18th century house, which needs a significant amount of work.
Fran Manzelli invited everyone to join a spring cleanup of routes 149 and 6A April 16 starting at 8:30 a.m. at Meetinghouse Farm. It's planned for an hour, he said, or "more if you're up to it."

Ascension Update - January 2008By Jelaila StarrWritten January 13, 2008
As I sit here drinking my morning coffee and watching the birds feeding at the bird feeders outside my window, it's hard to believe that dramatic, reality changing
planetary events are taking place, but they are, even Bernie and Bea, the retired couple next door are aware that something is going on. Our weather here in the Midwest is no longer
normal. Many of us have ceased to discuss it in those terms. Yep, Mother Earth is moving through her ascension process and its one hell of a ride. So what's happening
now? Where is Earth in her process?
Beginning with last year, we completed a 10 year cycle which saw the awakening of three waves of starseeds, walk-ins, and lightworkers known as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
Waves. These brave and courageous souls all began with work to assist Mother Earth and humanity through the changes involved in the ascension process. Many of the 1st and 2nd Wavers fulfilled
their initial missions and towards the end of 2007 felt that they were done and could go home if so desired. Some did transition either through physical death or the walk-in process.
Those who chose to remain are now being given a new mission. Generally speaking, it is to help further integrate the consciousness of compassion (aka the galactic consciousness) into the 3D
realm. They have the 3rd Wavers to assist by helping them to rewrite their material in order to appeal to a more mainstream audience and/or by using the media to further disseminate their
messages. This is the primary function of the 3rd Wave and their overall mission.
Moving into 2008, we begin a new phase, one that will see us through 2012 and the creation of a new more balanced society. We must put our noses to the grindstone, so to
speak, because we intuitively know that we no longer have time to waste. Changes are occurring that demand we pay attention. For example, there are new stargates opening. Stargates
are interdimensional gateways to others areas of our solar system, galaxy, universe and beyond. They also enable us to move into other dimensions. It's my understanding that these
stargates are opening as part of Earth's physical move upward in concert with humanity's increase in consciousness. Imagine Earth on an upward spiral progressing through
dimensions. As both "ascend" we experience new phenomena. Well, it's not really new but it is new to us. Stargates are natural phenomena of the galaxy. You
could say they are the major interchanges in the galactic super highway system. We have begun to move beyond our limited one dimensional, one life, one reality way of thinking. As Dr.
Wayne Dyer says, "You'll see it when you believe it." Thanks to quantum physics, because we now have a scientific basis for believing they exist, we now are able to see
them. For the record, I am aware of three stargate locations; Upper Michigan around the Glen Arbor area. Keep in mind that stargates are not stationary. They do move a little.
I am told that a radius of 75 miles is not uncommon. Two other locations are Montana and the northern Phoenix, AZ area. Pretty exciting, don't ya think?
Moving up the dimensional spiral in our quest to ascend is becoming more physically challenging. We are now required to dump even more of our emotional baggage (the
deeper more painful stuff) and do it at an even faster rate. Whew! This is due to the fact that as we move higher the pace increases. For those just starting the process it can be
quite daunting with all the physical symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, memory malfunction, a loss of mental acuity, and weight gain. For those who have completed a significant portion of
their clearing, the challenge now less about the physical pain and more about the mental/emotional pain. It seems we are in a near constant battle to keep our thoughts and emotions in a balanced
state. I for one find this to be the case. It seems I have one or two good days where I feel emotionally good and in balance only to be followed the next day by intense sadness.
Sometimes that sadness in accompanied by irrational fear and anxiety that is so extreme that I think I am literally going to lose my mind. Those are the times when is it hard to accept
that the mental and emotional stuff is just the still unresolved emotional portion of physical wounds coming up to be cleared, especially when I end up depressed. And, when the emotions
hit upon waking, it really makes for an emotionally difficult day. For those of you experiencing this, you know what I mean.
People often ask me what they can do to help alleviate some of these symptoms. I will reiterate what I have said in past updates because the solutions are still the
same. The number one thing we can do is stay grounded. Remember, ascension is about ascending our consciousness and transforming our bodies along the way so that they hold more
light. I have found that drinking plenty of water, walking in nature, play and eating dense foods help. They enable me to focus and manifest. When I become ungrounded, I find that
my body aches more and my "ascension symptoms" are more pronounced. Salt baths and massages, especially deep tissue massages really help as well. Finally, for those who
struggle with the mental/emotional aspect, talk to someone, someone who is safe meaning they can listen without trying to fix your or make it better. Talking about the fear and/or the pain
dissolves and dissipates it. I don't know why this works exactly but it does.
In conclusion, the next four years will see massive change on Earth. We are birthing a new world and like any labor, it's gonna be somewhat painful. What keeps me
going is knowing that the end result will be a new world and better future for our children and grandchildren. Has this ascension update been helpful? If so, share the hope. Pass it

WOW The London Evening Standard reports that Andy Murray and about 30 friends celebrated his U.S. Open victory with a $6,500 tab at a Chinese retaurant in Manhattan. While his friends drank high-dollar spirts, Murray had one $6 lemon soda. "The problem was when I arrived everyone was so drunk already," he said the next day. "It would've taken awhile to catch up, so I didn't bother." He left a 20-percent tip, but that's all he paid. The restaurant comped the entire tab.
FUNNY Palo Alto blogger Janice Hough of LeftCoastSportsBabe.com, on Kentucky's new $7 million basketball dorm: "It's almost enough to make the players wish they were staying more than a year."
HARD TO BELIEVE Rookie running back Alfred Morris has the only 1991 Mazda 626 parked among his teammates' much fancier cars in the Redskins' players' lot, and he has no plans to upgrade the ride he calls his "Bentley." "One day, my kids are going to drive that car," he told Redskins.com. "If it breaks down, I'm gettin' it fixed. That's just how I am."
DIGITS "Do the math," wrote Vancouver (B.C.) blogger TC Chong. "NHL players want billions, turned down an offer for millions and are happy playing overseas for thousands?"
COOL As a minority owner of Seattle's team in Major League Soccer, comedian Drew Carey has a novel idea. The Sounders are creating an organization of season ticket-holders that will vote every four years on whether to keep the team's GM.
QUOTE OF THE DAY New York Giants linebacker Mathias Kiawanuka, to Newsday, on life with NFL replacement refs: "I haven't been held this much since I was a baby."
ODDLY Robert Sanfilippo -- who coaches a boys 10-11 baseball team in New York -- has been charged with anonymously sending threatening text messages and photographs to a coaching rival. The name of his team? The Long Island Vengeance.
SHORT SHOTS n Semipro football's Racine Raiders hosted "Replacement Referee Night" at Saturday's playoff game, with fans dressed as officials admitted free and a lucky few got to take part in a "Worst Call of the Night" contest on the field at halftime.
FAIL Lake Tahoe comedy writer Bill Littlejohn, after the University of Minnesota-Crookston mistakenly painted its midfield logo at the 45-yard line: "They must've used replacement painters."
DISS Roberto Mancini was unhappy with Joe Bennett's challenge on Gareth Barry during Manchester City's 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa: "I asked the fourth official if it was a yellow card because I thought the referee had forgotten his yellow cards in the dressing room."
SIGN OF THE TIMES Coming soon: the Bikini Basketball League. ... Chicago Desire, Miami Spice, Los Angeles Ice, New York Knockouts, Hollywood Hotties and Atlanta Fleet Angels. ... The funny part: It's a men's league.
BROUHAHA British heavyweight boxer David Haye doesn't see himself losing to Vitali Klitschko: "I'm too fast, too sexy and too talented to be blown away by a large, slow robot from the Ukraine."
WEB GEM Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes, via Twitter, on the replacement refs: "Can someone please tell these ... zebras Foot Locker called and they're needed back at work!"
STRANGE Vancouver (B.C.) comic Torben Rolfsen, after Falcons RB Michael Turner was charged with DUI just hours after Monday night's win: "He must have been really out of it, because he asked if a replacement official could administer the sobriety test."
NOT GOOD "I just Googled the word 'disingenuous,'" wrote Greg Cote of the Miami Herald, "and up popped Dwight Howard's full-page ad in the Orlando Sentinel thanking the same Magic fans he maneuvered to leave stranded."
MEMORY LANE The FBI kept an 868-page dossier on Joe Paterno, the late Penn State football coach. Wrote Dwight Perry of The Seattle Times, "Filing clerks say they were the easiest files to spot -- plain white folders with no names on the back."
OOPS UFC fighter Jason Miller was arrested -- naked -- inside a church in Mission Viejo, Calif., after allegedly breaking in and spraying a fire extinguisher inside the building. Defense lawyers certainly have their work cut out for them. Miller's nickname is "Mayhem."

There has always been something sad about Jesus ascending to heaven. There the disciples were looking up. Even though the angels told them it was a good thing that Jesus ascended, they still were still confused by the sense of emptiness.
This is true of any serious loss but even more so when the loss is someone you have given your life to care for. I am thinking of those who have cared for significantly impaired children who from early on were physically and/or mentally impaired, those caring for a loved one who is quadriplegic, or a spouse who has dementia. Their days are spent either in caring or enabling their loved one to live the best possible life considering the circumstances and thereby melding their own lives around these needs.
When the beneficiary of their love and care passes on, one would think these caregivers would be so relieved to finally be able to get on to living their own lives. But the void left by these deaths are profound. How can they possibly pick up their lives and go on? What kind of life can they live? Who are they without this person they have cared for morning, noon and night. Who are they if not a caregiver?
Many of us offer condolence but without understanding what kind of loss this is. We think they are free and yet they are confused and lost. They need assistance in knowing they are more than a caregiver. There is more to life than doctors, hospitals and tube feedings. This takes a huge amount of time, even after they address their deep down fatigue. If all bereaved need our understanding and support, these giving souls need all the more. I can only imagine their sense of loss because of the people I have cared for physically for only a short period of time just as I only imagine the apostles' sense of loss as Jesus ascended into heaven.
I pray that as the angels supported the disciples, that there are angels surrounding these caregivers, through their friends and families, to support them in their loss and adjustment to a new kind of life. May they always know they are not alone in their grief.

Monday of this week was Martin Luther King Day, a holiday filled with both pragmatic and intangible significance. Dr. King is without a doubt one of the most revered figures in modern American history. More than most public figures of the 20th Century, King is so intertwined with the times in which he lived that he has transcended his own personality. He has become a legend, but a very human one.
I chose Dr. King as an icon of classic style because more than anyone else I admire, the way in which he chose to present himself every day quite literally changed the world. When I think of Martin Luther King, Jr., I see a man who possessed incredible inner strength and a drive to make a tangible mark on the world. I see a man who forced others to see who he really was by sheer force of personality. And when I think of how he looked – I see him in a suit.
It was usually a simple but elegant suit; dark, sober and professional. It was a Sunday suit; fitting of course as he was a preacher. But it was also his armor during a time in my country's history when bigotry was literally the law. Black citizens had little protection or recourse and even the most heinous act of murder was seen in a different legal light. The presumption was usually that the victim deserved it and all white juries usually concurred.
I bring up these rather depressing images because it is important to put King in the right context. As with his contemporary, Bobby Kennedy, King has become a somewhat remote and perfected image. But the dangers faced by Dr. King and those around him were very real and very personal. Every day he had to get up and accept that his work could – and probably would – lead to his death.
In addition to his landmark non-violent protests, King led another type of war. It was the war of perception. Dr. King presented black America in a way that tore down the flimsy veil of prejudice. Step by step his actions reshaped the image of what made someone an American and a human.
King understood the role of media and of perception. He made a point to always be well turned out, eloquent, knowledgeable and gentlemanly. He was daily fighting the ignorant and small-minded stereotypes that unfortunately persist to this day. By presenting a glaring counter argument in the form of an accomplished and elegant African American leader, King opened a new front in the war for equality.
By being perpetually well dressed King's image, as well as his words, presented an unassailable message of strength, confidence, leadership and intelligence.
He was not the first in civil rights leader to harness the power of dress. Malcolm X, a fellow civil rights activist and leading figure in the Nation of Islam, lead legions of followers impeccably turned out in suits and bow ties.
While clothing does not in and of itself change the world, part of Dr. King's legacy will always be the image of a polished leader and brilliant orator. King's choice of clothing extended his reach and defined a leader.

Got my 3XL jacket today. The sleeve length is perfect for me. I'm 6'3", and the coat breaks right at my waist line; they'd break nearer to the hips on somebody shorter. Perfect spring/fall jacket on its own, and it's roomy enough in the sleeves that in winter one could get away with a hoodie underneath it. The side pockets are fairly deep (enough for gloves or a couple cans of soda, perhaps) and they ride unusually high, just under my ribs. There's an extra pocket on the left sleeve, big enough for a phone or a pack of smokes or something.
There are exterior button adjustments, at the sleeve cuffs, and at the bottom edge on the sides. The lining is quilted nylon, the outside is a rough flat texture that reminds me a lot of canvas.
The fit isn't that great on me personally, though. I wear a lot of 3XLT shirts and those hang about three inches underneath this jacket. The jacket is very loose at the sleeves and shoulders, but when I'm seated it's tight at the stomach.
I'll still wear it, but it's only going to be the "C" jacket in my rotation, not the "B" I was hoping for.
Ah, well. Finally something I can wear with a Strange Famous logo that comes close to fitting! :-)

Last summer my dad made a trip to Northern Vineyards Winery in Stillwater, Minnesota. The heart of Michelle Bachmann country, but worth a trip anyway if you like wine made from the U of MN grape varieties. While he was there he bought an enormously discounted case of red wine that was apparently not up to the usual standards of the brand. A couple of weeks later I went to his house and he gave me a bottle, telling me to try it and let me know what I thought of it. I put it in the back of my '06 Subaru Forester and drove home, 30 miles or so.
By the time I got home I could distinctly smell red wine from inside the car--the wine apparently had some not-yet-halted fermentation going on (or perhaps just had some carbonation; Minnesota wines are often very acidic and vinters will control for that by adding potassion bicarbonate, which adds a little fizz when the wine is still very young) and the cork had burst out of the bottle, dumping wine into the cargo area's rubber liner. Also sitting in that cargo tray: my 3XL SFR jacket, which I had left back there since spring ended and it started being too hot for a quilted jacket. The quilting soaked up most of the wine, which was good news for my car but was the total death of the jacket.
I probably only wore it a dozen times or so, but the quality was top notch. If that wine accident hadn't ruined it, I would have been able to keep wearing the thing for many years.
So, amending my original review:
- Extremely hard wearing.
- Good cool weather jacket, but lets too much wind through to be good in a Minnesota winter.
- Keep away from dodgy discount wine.

Somehow I've managed to do multiple world tours this jacket (on stage and off stage) through some of the worst weather I've ever experienced. It's getting kind of ridiculous how much I put this thing through. Definitely need to wear a hoodie underneath when the temperature is super low though. But, as far as the jacket's durability is concerned, I couldn't give it a higher rating. The fabric actually breaks needles:

Fathers and Sons
by Ivan Turgenev
Fathers and Sons Cunning and Cleverness Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph). We used Rosemary Edmonds's translation.
Quote #7
To Sitnikov the chance to be scathing and express contempt was the most agreeable of sensations; he used to attack women in particular, never suspecting that before many months were over he would be groveling at the feet of his wife merely because she was born a Princess Durdoleosov. (13.44)
Does the narrator seem to be parodying Sitnikov here? What does Sitnikov have in common with Bazarov? In what ways is Sitnikov nothing but a pale imitation of Bazarov?
Quote #8
"You know the saying, 'Happiness is where we are not'?" (18.12)
How does the fact that Bazarov is quoting a well-known quip make it fall flat? Does Bazarov intend for it to fall flat? Does this line come across as cleverness or as a flailing attempt to end a conversation in which he wants to pretend that he has no interest?
Quote #9
"Slander a man as much as we like, and he will still deserve twenty times worse in reality." (21.102)
Bazarov's line here is clever, but there seems to be very little truth to it. We know Bazarov is still in a bad mood after having been rejected by Madame Odintsov. What might he be expressing indirectly through this line even if he doesn't even know it? Try to go beyond the idea that he's upset and is in a dark mood.

There are four hypergraphic links in the photo below.
Detail from a photo (below) of Pompeys Pillar by Brent Phelps.
On the relatively sheltered face of Pompy's Tower where Clark engraved his tag in 1806 are three expressions of official, collective graffiti, dignified in bronze. In 1928, the Billings chapter of Daughters of the American Revolution commemorated the patriotic significance of the Expedition with a plaque. In 1938, members of the Masonic Lodge in Billings acknowledged their own brotherly links with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, both of whom were Freemasons. The third tablet is a memorial to Don Foote, a local real estate developer, farmer, and amateur historian, who purchased the land around it in 1965, to ensure its preservation.
Pompeys Pillar—editor Nicholas Biddle's guess as to what Clark meant; the name-minding federal Board of Geographic Names deletes apostrophes—is now the center of a state park. Surveillance cameras help rangers apprehend a number of would-be graffitists each year, in the act of embellishing the famous rock with memorials to themselves.
A comprehensive study of the markings on Pompeys Pillar has recently been undertaken by Minot State University, so we know there is a total of some 2,500 tags on all surfaces of the rock, not counting those that were on chunks of sandstone that have fallen, face down, on the ground around it.

You could call it "duck hunt in a can." Ducks Unlimited, North Dakota Game and Fish and Avery Outdoors are partnering to make it easier for young people to go on their first hunt. North Dakota families with young hunters can now checkout a trailer in Bismarck full of decoys and blinds to hunt waterfowl.
"We want to encourage kids and their parents or other adults to get out and experience the spectacle of waterfowl hunting for themselves," said Scott Stephens, DU director of conservation programs. "We're trying to eliminate the obstacle of having to purchase large amounts of equipment to try waterfowl hunting."
Families with young hunters can checkout one of three equipment packages, which are located in Bismarck. Calling DU's Bismarck office at 701-355-3500, they can reserve a fully equipped trailer with goose and duck decoys for field hunting or one of two bags of floating ducks decoys and marsh seats for duck hunts in a wetland.
"The equipment needed to hunt waterfowl can sometimes be expensive and may discourage families from trying to hunt," said Pat Lothspeich, outreach biologist with the North Dakota Game and Fish Department.
Money for purchasing the trailer was provided by the Game and Fish Department's Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters special grant program, which was developed to enhance the recruitment of the next generation of hunters.
Avery Outdoors contributed the blinds and marsh seats, along with deeply discounted pricing on the decoys for this project.
"Avery does its best to contribute to conservation, waterfowl and the future of hunting," said Tyson Keller, with Avery Outdoors. "Since youth are a predominant future face of waterfowl hunting, Avery was eager to be involved with this great opportunity."
Avery, DU and Game and Fish have partnered for the last couple of years on a Youth Waterfowl Hunting Clinic held in September.
"I am confident that the State of North Dakota and DU will impact the lives of many young hunters and help further the hunting tradition with the youths involved," Keller said.

From Johnny Depp to Brandon Flowers, these men wear eyeliner really, really well.More
Johnny Depp's an Oscar-nominated, Golden Globe-winning actor. But he's also garnered some other honors, like Hat Person of the Year, and now, he just won an award for embracing on-set makeup, too. Says the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild president, Susan Cabral-Ebert, "Makeup and hair artisans agree that Johnny Depp is a wonderful selection to receive our first Distinguished Artisan Award. He, probably more than any other actor working today, uses the skills of our members to delineate his characters." So with that in mind, we decided to celebrate Johnny, his eyeliner, and five other men that love the stuff, too. From Brandon Flowers to Jared Leto, click through for six more examples of stellar guyliner.

When not on a movie set, Johnny Depp's makeup is much more subtle. But eyeliner still? Yeps.

Dallas jury finds Dr. Joseph Megwa guilty of health care fraud
Arlington physician Dr. Joseph Megwa was found guilty late Monday for his part in a $3 million Medicare fraud conspiracy involving PTM Healthcare Services, an Irving home health care agency. Ferguson Ikhile, PTM's owner, and Ebolose Eghobor, PTM's nursing director, were found guilty as well.
A Dallas jury deliberated for three days before finding Megwa guilty of conspiracy, three counts of health care fraud and four counts of making false statements. Megwa and Eghobor were scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade on Sept. 10. Megwa could face 60 years in prison.
Megwa, Ikhile and Eghobor, all Nigerian-Americans, were arrested in October 2012. The indictment charged Megwa with fraudulently billing Medicare more than $100 million for unnecessary or ineligible home health care services rendered to 2,000 area patients.
More than 230 home health agencies were involved with Megwa, but PTM's Ikhile and Eghobor were the only others indicted in the case. Ikhile, who pleaded guilty, was scheduled for sentencing on May 28.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recently ordered a moratorium on licensing new home health care agencies in Dallas because of fraud concerns

Nataniel is passionate. He's one of a kind, goofy, always smiling. Would never do anything to cause someone harm. He loves to joke around and hang out with his friends. He's the life of the party. Nataniel loves to travel and has probably already seen many parts of the world. He's musically talented and everybody loves him. Everyone wants to be his friend. He attracts everyone around him and gives off a friendly positive aura. The downside is he's very secretive. As friendly as he is, it's very rare for him to open up and tell you what's really going on. The way he can best express himself is through writing and composing music. That's what he depends on. His life would be incomplete without it. He's quite the lover as well. Once you get a Nataniel, don't let him go. Once you're lucky enough to have a Nataniel, he'll love you like there's no tomorrow and you'll love every second of it.
You're walking into a room and you hear cheering and the start of someone playing a song...its gotta be Nataniel playing his guitar.

The squeal of all squeals!
Where in this country can you find a pork barrel project that causes squeals all the way to the pig farms in Iowa?
Where can you find a project that was originally estimated to cost $360 million and has ballooned to over $900 million (2009 dollars) and is sure to nearly double that amount?
Where can you find a director for a billion dollar plus water and engineering project that was enlisted from the ranks of the DA's office without so much as a personnel search?
Where can you find a billion dollar plus project that was not funded by bonds and without voter approval?
Where can you find a billion dollar plus project that was started by spending hundreds of millions even though required government money has never been allocated for the federal share?
Where can you find a billion dollar plus project that has no voter input or oversight and that participating governmental entities claim to have no oversight or control?
Well right here in river city - Trinity River city that is. Panther Island, Trinity Uptown, or Central City development - call it what whatever the Trinity River Vision Authority thinks will give it new life and authenticity.
What is it really? It's a huge pork barrel project that has extraordinary costs, incompetent leadership, and no responsibility to the taxpayers (that's YOU)!
So what's happened? Why is this an issue?
It began as a $360 million project that would, according to proponents, achieve over a billion dollars in increased tax base. Sounds like a winner, no? That was, of course, contingent upon following the recommendations of the planners and assuming the project would be funded and completed on schedule. Of the eight financial milestones established in 2005 (after the cost had been re-estimated to increase to $435 million) six are well past their estimated completion dates and the other two had no estimated completion date. The estimated economic benefit was based on ammenities that are not funded and unlikely to be included in the final project. Environmental cleanup of some sites was originally esitmated to cost $22 million. Those costs are now unknown. The same story persists in other aspects of the project.
One of the highly touted benefits of TRV was the increased flood control. Original planning called for using the West Fork of the Trinity River upstream of Henderson Street as a catchment basin. Unfortunately, the planners failed to anticipate the clout of land owners along the West Fork and even though TRWD Director, Jim Oliver, proclaimed that the land would be taken by eminent domain if necessary, it wasn't and it won't be. Instead that requirement has been diverted to Gateway Park and the cost has escalated over $100 million. So much for the power of eminent domain. In reality the cost of flood control had already been estimated at a mere $10 million. Of course this wasn't really about flood control at all, was it?
The 2005 costs were published as $435 million. $217.5 million from the federal government, $115.9 million from taxes in the project area, $64 million from the Tarrant Regional Water District (the water district had just been given the authority to invest in economic development in a law sponsored by Rep. Charlie Geren, former water board member, and passed by voice vote on the last day of the session), $26.6 million from bonds issued by the city of Fort Worth, and $11 million from Tarrant County. At the time, the S-T reported, "I expect costs will easily reach $700 million before it's done," Councilman Picht said after one briefing. "We always underestimate the costs and overestimate the economic benefits."
Another quote from the S-T: ""But what if the money falls short or doesn't come through on time?" "It might take a little longer to do it," said Oliver, with the Water District. "Any time you're relying on federal funds, you're at the mercy of Congress." "Ultimately, Oliver said, backers might seek more local money: from the city, Tarrant County or the Water District, or by borrowing based on future development potential. Toal (James Toal, urban planner now deceased) is confident the money will be there." "The taxpayers will not be left holding the bag," he said."" Oh Yeah! Right!
So how much are the taxpayers commited to pay so far? How about $350 million (give or take a million)? We voted for $5 million in one bond election and $26.6 million in another. A tax increment finance district (TIF) was created in 2003 and expanded in 2005 and expanded yet again and is destined to repay up to $320 million in loans from TRWD for funding Trinity Uptown. So what about the taxpayers not being left holding the bag? Oh you kid! That'll teach you to bend over.
Now you may have a clue why it is necessary to change the TRWD board and elect people who will demand fiscal accountibility and who will return to the long established mission of the Water District to find and protect water resources and to provide flood control ((that's $10 million flood control, not $1 billion flood control) and get the hell out of economic development)).
And how do we do that? It is so simple that it's stunning! VOTE for BICKLEY and VON LUCKNER for Water Board! That's it - Bickley and Von Luckner, Bickley and Von Luckner, Bickley and Von Luckner. There are two board openings and you can vote for two, so vote for Craig Bickley and Michele Von Luckner.

Google Speaks Up for Wael
By Scott Morrison
Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt said Tuesday the company was 'very proud' of employee Wael Ghonim, a leader in the antigovernment protests that toppled Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak last week.
Ghonim's social-media expertise was credited with helping trigger the protests, an example that Mr. Schmidt said pointed toward a future in which technology will benefit the masses, rather than society's elite classes.
Mr. Ghonim, Google's head of marketing in the Middle East, tapped Facebook to help mobilize discontent with Egypt's regime and organize protests, an effort that landed him in secret detention for more than a week.
Google had to this point tiptoed around Mr. Ghonim's involvement in the protests, expressing concern for his safety but pointing out that he wasn't acting as an agent of the company. Mr. Schmidt chose a big platform for his comments, which he made during a webcast keynote presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a major wireless-industry gathering.
Schmidt spoke optimistically of a future in which technology makes the world a better place for the masses because they will have access to more information than ever before.
