Question: I heard that medical certificates are required for some pilots. What is a medical certificate? Will I need one?
Answer: In order to fly, pilots must meet a certain medical standard based on their type of pilot certificate. Sport pilots can use their current driver's license as their medical certificate. Recreational and private pilots must get a flight physical from an aviation medical examiner in order to receive a medical certificate. Your flight instructor should be able to recommend an aviation medical examiner in your area.

Both Agbeko and Mares are aggressive but versatile boxer-punchers. When Agbeko is focused he's one of the best stick-and-move boxers in the bantamweight division. The 31-year-old Ghanaian has an excellent jab when he remembers to lead with it, a strong and well-timed right hand, and good head- and upper-body movement. Mares is a more consistent boxer than Agbeko, who appears to neglect his skills more often. The 2004 Olympian, who has a good jab, decent head movement and a beautiful hook to the body, possesses slightly tighter technique and punches in combination better than the veteran. However, despite good balance and footwork, the younger man often forgoes boxing on his toes in favor of pressure fighting tactics, which make him an easier target.
Edge: Even
Mares, who has 13 stoppages among his 21 victories, is heavy handed but he usually has to put his shots together or wear his foes down with a body attack to score a KO. Agbeko, who has 22 stoppages among his 28 victories, hasn't scored a KO since his title-winning effort against Luis Perez in 2007, but he was known for his power as he climbed the rankings and it's evident that the Ghanaian can crack with his right hand. The pro seasoning of his last three opponents (William Gonzalez, Darchinyan and Yonnhy Perez) accounts a little bit for what it appears to be a recent power outage. However, it should be noted that he earned respect with his hard single shots, especially his right hand — which badly rocked Mares in the fourth round of their first bout — in each of those fights.
Edge: Agbeko
Mares is a superb all-around boxer with above average athletic ability. The 25-year-old contender is strong, durable with fast hands and fluid footwork, but he does not have possess the hand speed, quick reflexes or explosiveness that Agbeko has exhibited in his fights. Their hand-eye coordination appears equal but the older man has a little more pop in his punches.
Edge: Agbeko
Both fighters avoid punches with head- and upper-body movement. Mares keeps his hands up and blocks more than Agbeko, but Agbeko is better at leaning away from or ducking under incoming shots.
Edge: Even
The older man has only a slight edge in experience. Agbeko has fought 17 more rounds than Mares (174 to 157) and he's faced five titleholders while the younger man has only faced three (although the best beltholders the veteran has faced — Darchinyan and Yonnhy Perez — are the some two the challenger has fought).
Edge: Agbeko
Both men have taken their share of hard shots, including the best of Darchinyan and Perez. Mares suffered a flash knockdown in second round of his fight with Darchinyan. Agbeko suffered a flash knockdown in the 10th round of his first fight with Perez and a questionable fall to the canvas in the first round of his first bout with Mares. Mares was momentarily rocked (but remained upright) in the fourth round of the Agbeko fight. Neither fighter has ever appeared seriously hurt during a fight.
Edge: Even
Both fighters are known for their dedication and their strong work ethics in the gym. Their faced-paced 12-round bouts against Perez, Darchinyan and each other, proves their world-class conditioning.
Edge: Even
Both fighters' toughest bouts came against Perez. Mares also had a tough time with Darchinyan. Apart form those bouts both men have avoided taking too much punishment in their fights. However, Agbeko's age and inactivity make him more susceptible the kind of physical breakdown that fighters who have been in one too many wars experience. And who knows how much those low blows from Mares took out of Agbeko's 31-year-old body during their first fight?
Edge: Mares
Mares has the more accomplished trainer in his corner. Clemente Medina has either trained or co-trained former titleholders Yory Boy Campas, Carlos Hernandez, Edwin Valero, Daniel Ponce de Leon, and Mike Anchondo over the past 15 years and the Southern California-based coach currently trains junior middleweight contender Alfredo Angulo and lightweight prospect Carlos Molina. However, Medina, who trained Mares for the Olympian's first seven pro bouts has only recently been reunited with the fighter (before the Darchinyan bout). Mares has had too many head trainers to mention between his stints with Medina, who is known as an offensive-minded coach. Adama Addy has not trained as many world-class fighters and top prospects as Medina but he appears to be a well rounder coach and he's been with Agbeko since the fighter's amateur days. The rapport the two have built over the past 18 years should not be overlooked.
Edge: Even
A confident Agbeko will take the early rounds of the hotly contested bout with his long-rage jab and straight rights. Mares will land counter right and left hooks but not enough to take control of the match. The young challenger will switch his style to pressure-fighting mode in the middle rounds at the behest of his corner and, being careful not to allow his body shots to stray below Agbeko's beltline, will enjoy more success. Mares will stalk forward with an effective head-and-body attack, but he'll find Agbeko ready and willing to match his stepped-up aggression. The veteran challenger will go toe-to-toe with Mares and even manage to hurt the new titleholder with choice body shots. Mares will suck it up and stay on top of Agbeko until he stuns the veteran with a three-punch combination in the late rounds of the bout. Agbeko's corner will urge him to use his speed and boxing skills down the stretch and the older man will stick and move as best he can. However, fatigue from the face pace of the fight and Mares' sporadic body attack will rob Agbeko of his technique. His jab will not be as sharp as it was in the early rounds and he will telegraph and loop his right hand, enabling Mares to slip in range and back Agbeko up with accurate counter punches to the head. Agbeko will fight as well as he can off the ropes and the two will battle it out until the final bell to the delight of the Southern California crowd.
Prediction: Mares by close unanimous decision.

How to Get Your World Cup Tickets
The Cricket World Cup is just 17 days away, but there's still a chance to get tickets for many of the first round matches, provided you don't mind watching some of the less fancied teams.
Unsurprisingly tickets for India's key games have been snapped up, though the shifting of India vs. England on Feb. 27 from Kolkata's Eden Gardens to Chinnaswamy Stadium might free up a few, since some people won't be able to change plans and travel to Bangalore.
The only India match for which tickets are still available is the Ireland game on March 6, also in Bangalore. It's unlikely to be a classic, but you never know, bearing in mind Ireland dumped Pakistan out of the World Cup in 2007.
If you're looking for tickets, check on the official World Cup Web site. There is a tickets section, which takes users through to a page run by Kyazoonga.com, the official ticketing partner for the World Cup. Hopefully they'll have an easier time handling online traffic than the Commonwealth Games ticketing partner, IRCTC, the state-run railways reservations portal, did.

Reassembled Biosynthetic Pathway for a Large-scale Synthesis of CMP-Neu5Ac
AbstractCMP-Neu5Ac is an important sugar nucleotide for biosynthesis of sialic acid and its conjugates. In this paper, a large-scale production system of CMP-Neu5Ac by a single strain is reported. The co-expression of Neu5Ac aldolase (EC188.8.131.52) and CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase (EC 18.104.22.168) was achieved by constructing individual genes into one plasmid and having a single culture that has both NeuAc aldolase and CMP-Neu5Ac synthetase activities. Overall this system only employed N-acetylmannosamine, excess of pyruvate and CTP to produce CMP-Neu5Ac. This work has demonstrated that a large-scale synthesis of sialic acid-derived oligosaccharides could be achieved economically and efficiently through a single, biosynthetic pathway engineered microorganism.

Ibiza has some of the most magnificent beaches in the Mediterranean. Most people think of Ibiza as a party island. Well, if you take the time to drive around the island, you will discover some excellent and almost deserted beaches.
Most of the quieter beaches can be found in the north of the island. Try visiting Xarracca , Rencli de S'illot or Xuclar. When I visited these beaches at the beginning of the season there were only one or two people on them. Have a look at the Xarracca pictures and you will see what I mean.

The Type Traits Library, Part I
Last updated Jan 1, 2003.
The type trait library, which is included in the recently approved TR1, defines a uniform and portable interface for querying, comparing and modifying type traits. In the first part of this series I explain what type traits are, why they are needed and how they are used.
The Motivation for Type Traits
Theoretically, a generic algorithm should be type agnostic. When you sort a sequence of int or double, the compiler uses the same template mold to synthesize the specializations sort<int> and sort<double>, respectively. However, in certain cases the algorithm needs more information about the types of the objects it operates on. These pieces of information, collectively referred to as type traits, are necessary for ensuring the correctness of the algorithm. In other cases, type traits enable the implementor to optimize the algorithm for certain types. A classic example is a copy algorithm that is optimized for POD types. If the collection being copied contains POD objects, the algorithm can use memcpy() instead of copying individual objects by invoking their copy constructor. Similarly, every algorithm defines the categories of its iterators. Thus, while distance() takes two forward iterators as arguments, nth_element takes random access iterators. Compilers can use iterator traits to ensure that the correct iterator category is used.
Type Traits in the Real World
Generic libraries use traits extensively. However, even in user-written code type traits are sometimes necessary. Consider a template function that explicitly invokes the destructors of objects constructed by placement new. If the objects have a trivial destructor, then the destructor invocation can be safely elided. However, to perform this optimization, the template function needs to know whether the objects' class has a trivial destructor.
The Type Traits Library Design
Type traits are evaluated at compile-time, as are all meta-functions. This property is a major advantage since type traits do not incur runtime overhead. The problem is that unlike ordinary functions that are executed at runtime, type traits have to use artful techniques to compute and report the results at compile time. This constraint led to the design Boost's type traits library. This library served as the basis for TR1 type traits library.
Type traits, e.g., is_pod, is_pointer, has_virtual_destructor etc. are implemented as distinct classes (each class represents a specific type trait). The trait classes share a unified design, whereby each class inherits from the type true_type if the type being queried has the specified property. Otherwise, the trait class inherits from false_type. The use of base classes to mark the existence/absence of a type trait may seem odd if you haven't experienced with metaprogramming before. However, you will shortly see that the type traits library has a simple and consistent interface.
Remember: since all type traits classes are derived from true_type or false_type, these two types can be used in generic programming to determine the properties of a given type and introduce optimizations that are appropriate for that case. For instance, to determine whether the template parameter T is void, you use the is_void type trait which is defined like this:
template <typename T> struct is_void : public false_type{}; template <> struct is_void<void> : public true_type{};
The primary template represents the default case. It inherits from false_type, meaning: T isn't void. For example, if T is int or std::string, the primary template will be selected. If however T is void, the specialization which inherits from true_type will be selected instead.
In addition to querying types, the type-traits library also contains a set of classes that perform a specific transformation on a type. For example, they can remove a top-level const or volatile qualifier from a type. Each class that performs a transformation defines a single typedef-member type that is the result of the transformation. We will get to this later, but for the time being suffice it to say that the type traits library enables you to modify the type traits of a certain type, not just query its properties.
Let's look at a few expressions based on is_pod to observe the interface of trait classes. We already know that is_pod<T> inherits from true_type if T is a POD type; otherwise, is_pod<T> inherits from false_type. For example, is_pod<int> inherits from true_type, whereas is_pod<std::string> inherits from false_type.
To obtain the base class types true_type and false_type, use the expression type_trait<T>::type. For example
is_pod<char*>::type is the type true_type.
is_pod<std::istream>::type is the type false_type.
Sometimes you need an integral expression that evaluates as true or false, instead of using types. The type_trait<T>::value returns an such integral expression. For example, is_pod<int (*)(long)>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to true, whereas is_pod<std::vector<int>>::value is an integral constant expression that evaluates to false.
To obtain the type of the expressions returned by the expression is_pod<T>::value, use is_pod<T>::value_type:
is_pod<int>::value_type is the type bool.
is_pod<myclass>::value_type is the type bool.
In addition to querying types, the type-traits library also contains a set of classes that perform a specific transformation on a type. For example, they can remove a top-level const or volatile qualifier from a type. In the next part of this series we will look at a concrete example of using type traits to optimize an algorithm and see how to perform type transformation.

Pro bono
By Anneli Knight
When Harriet Pratten was 10 years old, she wrote a story about her dream life for a school project. In it, she pictured herself living in Africa working in an elephant orphanage.
Now 34, Pratten might not be nurturing baby elephants, but in the past six years, she has launched a documentary project that brought her in contact with South Africa's most celebrated leaders, and has built a successful digital media advertising agency in Cape Town. Her travels have taken her through the depths of the African continent.
Pratten first travelled to Africa in 2008 for what was meant to be a two-week working holiday with her partner, wildlife photographer Adrian Steirn, to set up a photo gallery in one of Africa's most exclusive game parks, Singita Private Game Reserves, in South Africa.
"What was meant to be a two-week trip has now turned into six years. The whole business has been incredibly organic. In some ways I'm as surprised to find myself here as my friends and family [are]."
When two weeks was extended to a month, the couple decided to make a go of living in South Africa, though at the time they weren't sure what that would mean. Pratten flew into Sydney to pack up her belongings and sell her home in Sydney's Paddington before returning.
The desire to spend time living an adventurous life overseas dates back to her university days (BCom '96). After finishing her degree, where she majored in marketing, accounting and commercial law, Pratten enrolled in short courses as diverse as finance at the Securities Institute of Australia and photography at the National Art School.
It was while studying commerce that she decided to begin her career in marketing as a means to venture into more creative roles. Pratten attributes her time at university as a crucial first step in a chain of events she could never have dreamed possible. "Commerce was a good grounding. I think it has been the stepping stone to everything else."
Once committed to South Africa, Pratten and Steirn "spent the first year in the bush, primarily [taking photographs], and then it kind of grew from there. The next stepping stone was a project we put together called the 21 Icons project, a multimedia project of photography and short films about iconic South African men and women."
21 Icons was a passion project for the couple that they initially funded themselves. It involved the creation of 21 three-minute films, each one featuring a living icon who had been involved in the struggle to set up democracy in South Africa. The first series of 21 films has been aired on television throughout 2013 and includes features on Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and FW de Clerk (see below).
We didn't know a soul when we arrived, but there's something in not knowing the rules of the game and thinking that anything is possible.
Pratten and Steirn have also been working on a second series featuring 21 emerging icons in South Africa, and a third series of youth icons, which will be screened over 2014-15.
As well as a film dedicated to each subject, the couple also created an official portrait shot, a series of behind-the-scenes reportage photographs and an essay about the individual's life.
It was through the contacts and networks established during this project that the couple built the foundations of their Cape Town business, The Ginkgo Agency (named after the Ginkgo Biloba tree, which Pratten says has both a left and right brain, a concept that reflects the creative and strategic aspects of the business).
The agency is a hybrid creative content agency and production house that now employs 20 local photographers, videographers, writers, directors, producers and editors to create narrative-based content for clients, predominantly based in Europe and the US.
There is no typical week for Pratten and Steirn, with their jobs regularly taking them beyond South Africa, including Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Uganda, as well as regular trips to the UK and the US.
Recent projects include a documentary about the endangered Caucasian leopard in the small former Soviet nation of Azerbaijan. "It's stuff you couldn't imagine doing: we were dropped into the Hirkan National Park by the Azerbaijan military and spent two weeks there with the military as our hosts, who basically didn't speak English."
Other work includes a series of short films for a South African national branding project, a job in the US documenting the American prairie, and the final portrait for the first series of the 21 Icons project.
"It's definitely not for the faint-hearted, it hasn't been easy. We didn't know a soul in South Africa when we arrived, but there's something in that naivety of not knowing the rules of the game and thinking that anything was possible. When you're in your home environment you've got preconceived ideas of what is possible, what is not possible, whereas here it was carte blanche," Pratten says.
"When you just go for it, what can happen? It either works or it doesn't."
Meeting Mandela
Harriet Pratten has been deeply affected by the death of Nelson Mandela (LLD '00), who she met on a number of occasions through the creation of the 21 Icons project. "We were there for his 93rd and 94th birthday, and a number of occasions in between when we collected the portraits that he'd signed.
Pratten says she secured the interview with Mandela after establishing the project through interviews with several of his contemporaries. "He's a very charismatic person, incredibly welcoming and he puts you at ease – he made jokes with us. To be in his presence is an incredibly humbling experience and despite yourself even if you tell yourself you're not going to get emotional in front of him, throughout most of the shoot there were tears rolling down my cheeks," Pratten says.
"When you see his eyes light up and he said he never thought they'd release him from jail, and to be sitting with him in his country home, was something I'll never forget."
Pratten says the shoot was one of the most nerve-wracking moments of her life. "He was the initial inspiration [for the 21 Icons project]. It was surreal, we'd been told so many times that it would never happen, he was the most iconic man in the world and to be afforded the opportunity to take a portrait of him was something so many people wanted to do."
Mandela enjoyed seeing the other portraits that had been completed for the project, Pratten says. "All of these people that we have photographed were his comrades and people that he knew personally. Mandela called Yvonne Chaka Chaka the Princess of Africa when her portrait came up and made very fond comments of her, and Tutu was a good friend of his," Pratten says.
"He's always said there were many people involved in the struggle, and part of the idea behind the project was we wanted to showcase the many other men and women of great significance who played a hugely important part in what is the new South Africa today."
By coincidence the final documentary that encapsulated all the interviews of series one of the 21 Icons project was aired in South Africa in the week of Mandela's funeral. "It's just uncanny timing that the first series has come to a close and the driving force for us, his life, has come to an end."

This thread is for anyone, whether you are in the two week wait and want to list your dpo symptoms, just in the tww, or lurking and staying involved.....this thread is for you!
Good luck to those testing and let us know when you get a BFP!
I am finally in the tww!! I think I am 2 or 3 dpo. I am hoping by posting here I will remember better. Whose close to testing? Or also in the tww?

LeeAnn.. I am so sorry you got that text... this is terrible
I am 3 dpo as well...
6dpo and had very light spotting this morning on tissue after bathroom (not heavy enough to be on underwear, only on tissue & was very light in CM on tissue). Bloated, having to pee frequently. Last night went to bed early - felt nauseated, dizzy, tired, bloated. slept for 14 hours and had dream DH lost his arm in a motorcycle accident (random!!!). Then felt okay this morning but very gassy and had some sharp twinges then some spotting. Praying to god this is implantation and not AF showing super early after O. I usually have 12-14 day luteal phase, so this is pretty unusual, but then again I also usually O at day 18 and this month it was day 26 this month! We DTD 4 days prior to O this cycle because O was super late and I had no idea when to time it. So I dont know if it is a weird cycle or implantation. Holding out until wed next week (day 14) to test. I cant take the heartache...trying to put it out of my mind until then.

With all due respect, tell your mom to kiss your butt. I dont know why family thinks it is their business how many kids their brothers, sisters, daughters, etc. have when they are grown. My family is the same way. Dont let it get you down. The heart wants what the heart wants and this is your life, not anyone else's. Best of luck to you!

I am so sorry LeeAnn, that can't be easy at all. I think even if she is negative nowm hopefully after you get pregnant or have the baby, she will come around. ((HUGS))
Alright Laurianne! We are all pretty close here as far as DPO.....
Jacki- that sounds super promising! It sounds like IB. It's in the right time frame! Fingers crossed.
Goodness it`s going to be a long 2ww!

Lowering The Tolls On The Info Superhighway
The cost of the proposed Information Superhighway may not be so daunting after all. Micro Linear Corp., a small semiconductor company in San Jose, Calif., has developed a cheap chip that makes it possible to send high-speed Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) signals, the latest format for sending digitized video, audio, or data over the same lines. If existing phone lines can serve as on- and off-ramps to the infoway, there'll be no need to spend $1,500 on optical-fiber links to each home.
Normally, ATM signals are too fast--at 155 megabits per second--for copper to handle. "Noise" stemming from the metal's electrical resistance contaminates the tightly packed signal, which quickly degrades into a meaningless fuzz. But Micro Linear's chip turns copper's resistance to advantage. By measuring how much strength the signal has lost at the receiving end, the chip can calculate how far the signal has traveled. The chip then adjusts a so-called equalization circuit that filters out the fuzz and restores the original signal. The cost? Just $20 per chip.

Hi everyone, I am new to these forums but I was hoping someone could help. Myself and my husband are TTC we already have a 3 year old girl. I was on the Depo injection from April 2010 to Aug 2011 (last jab was Aug 10th 2011) my periods returned to normal Oct 2012 (cycle - every 28 days). My last period was June 14th, I downloaded a app on my phone which told me when I would be ovulating which was 25th-28th June, we `done the deed` 21st,23rd,24th and 25th June, then on Fri 28th June I went to the toilet to find I was spotting, this lasted for 3 days (it was light red in colour, and not as heavy as a normal period, day one and day three the blood was only there when I wiped), I thought that it could be implantation bleeding as I had implantation bleeding with my first. I didn't find out I was pregnant with my first until I was around 8 weeks, I had remembered starting to bleed (which I just put down to a period starting early) and I was told by the midwife it was implantation bleeding. However this time around we are TTC and I have been feeling very sick and I am also experiencing slight cramps in my lower abdomen and lower back, I am also very tired which is very unlike me. My next period is due this Friday (12th July) I bought a clear blue sensitive pregnancy test and tested first thing this morning it took a while for the result to appear and when it did it was negative, I know I was early testing as you are meant to test day of your missed period but it did say you could test 5 days before missed period. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and gone on to get a positive pregnancy test the day of missed period. Thank you in advance for any advise xx [/quote]

To be honest the bleeding was maybe more likely to be ov bleeding with the timing It's hard to say though as without using OPK's there's no way to be certain when you ov, the apps just go off what is an average for your cycle length and aren't reliable at all ,that one is basically saying you should ov between days 12-15 whereas even with a 28 day cycle it could be anything from day 9 to day 18, in fact looking for your own bodies clues is a more reliable way than an app
If it had been an implant bleed then testing 10 days later should have given you a positive result if you were pregnant.
They say 5 days before the day your period is due for testing(including that day and the day you test) so it actually means 10 days post ovulation as they also base that on a 14 day luteal phase, trouble is implantation can be pretty much anything from 5 dpo to 12 dpo so some women will get a positive at 10 dpo and others wouldn't until maybe 14-16 dpo even if they ovulated on the same day due to these differences in implantation
You're not out yet though, even if it was ov related rather than implant related you could still be pregnant and it is perfectly possible to have a negative test and then a positive one later .
If you're not pregnant though and really want to maximise your chances it might be better to try OPK's for a month rather than an app That way you'll know when you get your pre ov surge and can concentrate on BD on the right days, which should be the day of the surge and about the next 3 days,as sometimes it can be days away from when you think it should be and sperm on average only live for 3-5 days in your body so it can be easy to miss the right time , Good luck xx

The design on the 1994 5 oz Proof Gold Angel from the Isle of Man harks back to the medieval gold coinage of Old England. The Gold Angel is minted as a bullion coin for the Isle of Man by the Pobjoy Mint, and is denominated in "angels." This 1994 proof gold coin was limited to an extremely rare 94 pieces, and contains 5 oz of .9999 pure gold.
Stock photo is for reference only.
The obverse features the Raphael Maklouf portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, encircled by her name, the name of the Isle of Man, and the date 1994.
The reverse features the image of a winged St. Michael, the archangel, armed with a spear and shield, slaying a dragon. The coat of arm of the Isle of Man, three legs joined in a pinwheel, appears above the angel. Below the scene is inscribed the weight and purity of the coin: "Au 999.9 5 Oz," and the name of the coin, "ANGEL".

But there's hell to pay when the ex-boyfriend (Jonathan Bennett) of the clique's menacing leader (Rachel McAdams) shows interest in being Cady's guy. Lacey Chabert and Amanda Seyfried also star in this sharply comic cautionary tale from writer Tina Fey, who also appears as Cady's math teacher.

NEW DELHI: An unusual proposal to reserve 40 per cent of the seats for male students was introduced at the staff meeting of the St Stephen's college today, but was met with vehement disapproval from the teachers who said they were "taken aback" by the "absurd" idea.
College Principal Valson Thampu introduced the proposal before the college staff at a meeting held this morning.
The idea that has earlier been discussed by the Supreme Council of the college proposed a reservation of 40 per cent of the college seats for male students.

CAMP DARBY, Italy -- The doors of the Camp Darby Child Development Center opened to the community children on June 16 after a year-long renovation costing approximately $1 million.
"This renovation was absolutely necessary," said Linda Fornaciari, CDC director. "The building had been the same since 1991; there were many things that needed to be done in order to ensure a more functional environment."
Besides new flooring and lighting that contribute significantly to the appealing look of the environment, some structural changes were made to raise the standards and make children and teachers more comfortable.
"We can count on three bathrooms and five children sinks now," said teacher Grace Bertei. "We also have shades in the window for nap time and the children seem to be more comfortable."
Fornaciari said with a few walls being removed, there now is better observation, especially in the infant room, for staff supervision.
"This room now is open so that we have a better visibility of all the children in the room," said Mariarosa Contadini, a teacher in the infant room. "We are still experiencing the best layout, but everything is working fine."
In the toddler's room, the bathrooms have been moved closer to the playground door.
"It is extremely important for us, this is the age when the children start getting potty trained and having the toilet close to the door makes a difference when the children are playing outside and need to hurry to the bathroom," said teacher Mary Bertei.
Toddler Giorgia Fannelli said she likes the new building and what she likes the most are the new toys and the playground.
An open house was held on June 19 for the community to visit the renovated CDC.
"We had a very positive feedback from all the parents on this renovated facility" said Fornaciari. "It is much more comfortable, the children can take advantage of a nice shady playground. Bottom line, we are very glad to be back at home."

Aquasure Amrit is the perfect non-electrical Water Purifier. Almost.The best part is being able to store 20 Litres at one go! The design is pleasing to look at, and is quite functional as well. There's however one glaring shortcoming of this beauty. The pushback lever for the water outlet results in very less flow if you push it down, so the only way you can fill up your glass of water is by pulling it up. Otherwise this water filter is I would say reasonably priced and the features have been thoughtfully designed. Well, almost.

NEW BEDFORD — Police are searching for two men who robbed a North End convenience store Thursday morning.
The masked men entered the Royal 7 Food and Deli at Summer and Coggeshall streets around 10 a.m., claimed to have a weapon and demanded cash, according to police.
The store clerk told police one of the men was holding an object but she could not make out what it was and, when the men demanded money, she stepped aside from the register, said Detective Capt. Steven Vicente, head of the major crimes unit.
The men were in the store for only a few minutes before they fled with an undetermined amount of cash, Vicente said.
One man was said to be 5 feet, 5 inches tall and the other 5 feet, 8 inches tall.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Kurtis Gonsalves at 508-991-6300, ext. 135

XNY has the kind of chemistry that makes other bands jealous.
The beginning of their story takes place in Boston, in a tiny apartment complex where vocalist Pam Autuori would spend her time practicing and writing songs. Just a wall away next door neighbor Jacob Schreiber would hear Pam singing - and began to mimic her vocal rhythms and melodies on his drumset.
What at first seemed like a battle of who could practice louder, ultimately turned out to be the beginning of rock duo XNY.
Pam was from the East Coast and already working on her solo career, having opened for Ani Difranco, The Hush Sound, Ryan Cabrera, The Cab and more. Jacob, the West Coaster, was studying jazz, romanticizing the life of a starving jazz musician.
On the surface they quite simply combine guitar, vocals and drums. Beneath, there is more. Breaking the boundaries of genres, they combine chaos and simplicity - building a musical aesthetic larger than many ensembles twice the size. They have a fearless, energetic sound, racy lyrics and haunting vocals (not to mention shattering guitar and drums).
Their debut album, Through The Wall, garnered buzz from NYLON and Filter Magazine to name a few. Their sophomore album, ORANGE, produced by Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls, proves how fast this duo is growing. ORANGE is due out August 13th, 2013.

NEW DELHI: No matter which of the potential buyers acquires control of mobile firm Hutch Essar, one man is sitting happy in Hong Kong and watching all the developments. Li Ka-shing, the billionaire chairman of Hutchison, who is revered as "Chiu Yan" (Superman) by millions of Hong Kong people, will reap billions by selling out his group's 67% stake in Hutch Essar, 'Business Week' magazine reported on Wednesday.
The growing number of potential suitors has pushed the expected valuation of Hutch Essar to over $20 billion. This price has taken the company's valuation to nearly $21 billion and represents a huge premium since June last year, when HTIL raised its stake in Hutch Essar by 5.11% for $450 million, while valuing the company at less than $9 billion, the magazine said.

Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL), former federal judge who was impeached in 1988 for perjury and accepting bribes, on Monday asserted that members of Congress are not paid enough. He told the House Rules Committee:
Members deserve to be paid, staff deserves to be paid and the cost of living here is causing serious problems for people who are not wealthy to serve in this institution.
Members deserve to be paid, staff deserves to be paid and the cost of living here is causing serious problems for people who are not wealthy to serve in this institution.
Reaction was immediate. From an article by Lachlan Markay in the Washington Free Beacon:
Just when you think that the House Ethics Committee might actually be doing its job in the form of the Rangel admonition, it reverts to form on the investigation of the now-defunct lobbying firm PMA that was headed by Paul Magliocchetti.
Indeed, PMA may be the biggest cover-up in the history of the Ethics Committee, which today issued a report clearing the late Rep. John Murtha and Reps. Jim Moran (D-VA), Marcy Kaptur (D-OH), Norm Dicks (D-WA) and Bill Young (R-FL).
This action was certainly calculated by Nancy Pelosi to protect the late Murtha. It is the strongest evidence to date that earmarking and corruption are still bipartisan enterprises. Republicans cannot attack Pelosi's toleration of corruption as long as Republican members of the Ethics Committee sign off on a report like this. The Republican members of the Ethics Committee are:
As a pro football fan, I always welcome the late summer, which brings pre-season games. They are great to watch, for about ten minutes, and then they disappoint. The starters play a couple of series and then they are gone. Then you get that sinking realization that it doesn't matter that much, either to you or the teams, who wins. So you go to bed craving the authenticity of the regular season.
