Watch Django Unchained Online Free : The time: two years before the Civil War. The place: the deep south. The person: Django (Jamie Foxx) slave being slow walked across to auction in Texas. Or at least he was until his band his stopped by dentist turned bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christolph Waltz) who needs a man who has seen the vile Brittle Brothers in person and can point them out and help take them down. A man like Django. It can be argued that Quentin Tarantino has already taken on the Spaghetti Western (by his own admission his favorite genre) in "Inglourious Basterds" albeit by a circuitous route as just one part of his strange concoction of war film and revenge. ( Download Django Unchained Movie ) In "Django Unchained," he approaches the Spaghetti Western in a more head on manner and a Quentin Tarantino Spaghetti Western is about exactly what you'd expect one to be. As with most of his films since "Kill Bill" revenge is on the menu, it's served up in a high pressure spray of blood and laughter. Yes laughter, as Tarantino willfully, gleefully casts off the remorse and ponderous gravity of his heavier meditations on revenge and what it does to the soul in favor of unrivaled entertainment. Entertainment fueled by violence, just the way we like it. "Kill Bill" is actually the best comparison to be made of all of Tarantino's films from Robert Richardson's gorgeous cinematography to the high-flying, quick-moving violence albeit with gun fu replacing kung fu. ( Watch Django Unchained Online ) The action (far more sparse than you might think) is aided not just by the typically well-defined Tarantino characterization, but also a rich sense of humor which he has not always displayed. One particularly well-drawn beat of a posse lynchers complaining about not being able to see through the eye holes in their Ku Klux Klan like hoods almost verges on "Blazing Saddles" territory and yet does not feel at all out of place.
Download Django Unchained Movie Free : Django, it turns out, is a natural at the bounty hunter game, sharp with the eye and quick with the lead and able to subsume himself into a role as needed to sidle up to his prey, be it a ridiculously dressed valet or a cold hearted black slaver. He and Schultz quickly take to each other as Schultz teaches him the ropes, so much so that when Django tells him the story of his long lost wife the beautiful Broomhilda Von Shaft (it makes sense in context), Schultz feels honor bound to help him rescue her. Unfortunately rescuing her means traveling into the belly of Candyland, the Mississippi plantation of one Calvin J. Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the king of the mandingo fight rang, where slaves are bought to fight one another to the death with their bare hands. Much has been made of DiCaprio's performance in the film and he does not disappoint, flying between suave and crazed with equal vigor. The performances across the board are high, with Foxx and Waltz enjoying great on screen chemistry. ( Download Django Unchained Movie ) One of the few downsides is Schultz's built-in showmanship often pushing Django to the sidelines, leaving him to shine only when he has the screen to himself. That said, in a nearly three-hour film there's plenty of opportunity for him to get time to himself, particularly in the last act as he faces off against Candie's various henchman, from gunman Billy Crash (Walton Goggins) to head house slave Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson) who truly epitomizes the film and eras' villainy as a black man who accepts slavery as the way things are meant to be and enjoys his place in that hierarchy. Which is about as preachy as "Django Unchained" gets. Tarantino definitely has a point to make about slavery, and it is there, but it is well hidden behind a stout curtain of fun, which is ultimately what you'll get from "Django." If it doesn't reach the heights of some his other films, it's more than worthy of what happened.
Watch Django Unchained Online Free : A German born gun for hire (Christoph Waltz), posturing as a travelling dentist, happens upon a slave transport in a wooded southern nightscape just a few years before the Civil War. Seeking a guide to the plantation residence of his latest targets, he contracts the services of Django (Jamie Foxx), after dispatching the hostile slavers and freeing their chattel. Together, following the completion of their primary task and acting out of sympathy towards his recent acquaintance's tumults (and animosity towards the institution of slavery in general), the bounty hunter spends a winter training his friend in the ways of his craft, and seeks to free his imprisoned wife (Kerry Washington), held by a genial yet malevolent plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). "Django Unchained" is another postcard to film from Quentin Tarantino (perhaps a farewell to it), a tribute to Leone and the Spaghetti Western, and another rollicking, intelligent, revisionist splatterfest that will again leave you feeling bowled over and needing a few days to recover. ( Watch Django Unchained Online ) It features four supreme performances: another great, finely tuned one from Waltz, an over-the-top, very fun performance from Leo, Samuel L. Jackson playing his treacherous, long serving house slave, and a very tricky, wonderfully acted, and somewhat thankless (due to the flash on display around him) role for Foxx. I wish Tarantino would have pulled the rug out, as it appeared he was going to do and which would have given a truer sense of the kinds of horrors endured under the system. Instead he opts for the more conventional kill everything in sight finale he's used so often before, which nonetheless achieves a showstopping effect that leaves a pit in your stomach which, as mentioned before, lingers for some time.
Download Django Unchained Movie Free : Three years after crafting the ultimate revenge fantasia in the bloody revisionist masterpiece Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino tops himself with Django Unchained, a spaghetti western that finds the freed slave Django (Jamie Foxx) wandering the antebellum South alongside German bounty hunter King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) in search of his wife, Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). And while there was no shakier proposition than a bawdy response to the stolid traditions and victimhood of Holocaust dramas, Django immediately feels like a film that's right in Tarantino's wheelhouse. The western genre already has a long history of violent, outré films made by maverick auteurs (a legacy that Django freely references, beginning with naming its protagonist after the archetypical hero of countless spaghetti westerns) and the director has made a career out of examining how codes of justice clash within lawless systems. ( Download Django Unchained Movie ) Still, it's exhilarating to see how easily Tarantino knocks it out of the park while using one of the ugliest eras in American history as a sandbox for his brand of kinetic postmodern filmmaking. Perhaps that's simply the mark of a master storyteller, as Django Unchained is truly the stuff of legend. The film makes its case as a brilliant inversion of the Old South's chivalrous self-mythologizing, featuring an abolitionist outsider mentoring a black hero as he develops the skill and courage to rescue his damsel in distress. Django's quest is further juxtaposed with the odious prejudices and shameful cruelties of southern slaveholding society, witnessed in full force at the plantation of sadistic planter Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio, at his finest). His estate – ironically dubbed "Candyland" – is infiltrated by Django and Schultz when they discover that Broomhilda is a captive there, leading to a shootout that recalls Scarface as much as Sergio Leone.
Watch Django Unchained Online Free : But there's no doubt that Django earns its bloodshed. Tarantino's script builds up to it masterfully and contains about as many verbal confrontations as physical ones – the former courtesy of Waltz, once again displaying his gift for delivering the famously verbose filmmaker's magnificent dialogue. Django Unchained is a testament to the artfulness tucked away inside forbidden pleasures: the thinking person's exploitation film. ( Watch Django Unchained Online ) It suggests that Tarantino, the ultimate fanboy, has continued his maturation into a thoughtful and discriminating professional. Without losing the s***-kicking verve and obsession with repurposing cultural junk that made him famous, he uses the catharsis of fiction in Django to illuminate a bleak historical fact and amortize the emotions that weren't fully captured in the written record. This also allows the film to portray extreme racism and misogyny as part of its historical context, but that's more of an observation than a criticism. As Django comes to realize, revenge itself is the dirtiest business of all – a complex, encompassing hatred directed at the morality-deficient, regardless of color (which includes Samuel L. Jackson as Candie's callous head house slave). As it turns out, Django Unchained is both the most moral film Tarantino has ever made and the most American movie of 2012, a two-fisted tour de force that revels in its destruction and creation of recklessly bold, blustery myths.

Is Skilling's Lack of Remorse a Crutch?
According to reports from the courtroom, Skilling was at his most passionate yesterday when he stood before the court yesterday and vowed to appeal. "I am innocent of every one of these charges," he proclaimed. Mark Zauderer, a criminal defense attorney at Flemming Zulack Williamson Zauderer in New York, passed along to the Law Blog some thoughts about Skilling's lack of contrition:
The reason so commonly cited for a defendant's lack of remorse at sentencing — the pendency of an appeal that he does not want to prejudice — is often not the controlling factor. For many who face the indignity and pain of a long prison sentence, the only crutch they are left with is belief in their innocence. (I was reminded of this over the weekend as I was watching a replay of the Nuremberg trials on the History Channel.) Skilling is a good example of this phenomenon.
Outside the courtroom yesterday, reports the Washington Post, Skilling, wearing a tracking device under his suit, reemphasized that he hadn't broken the law. "In the Inquisition, only about 10 percent of the people held out," Skilling said. "I can tell you it ain't fun."

The Trucker News Services
WASHINGTON — The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has ordered Two Dayes Trucking and Two Dayes Transport of Murfreesboro, N.C., to immediately cease all transportation services because of a pattern of serious safety violations that the agency says pose an imminent hazard to public safety.
The FMCSA said late Thursday that after a thorough review, agency investigators found the companies, which generally transport recycled steel and roofing shingles, and two of its drivers, had demonstrated substantial and flagrant disregard for federal requirements for vehicle maintenance and repair, driver Hours of Service, qualifications of drivers, and controlled substance and alcohol use.
An investigation following a fatal crash involving Two Dayes Trucking in Murfreesboro on Nov. 12, 2012, determined that the company was operating under a revoked Department of Transportation registration and that the company had reincarnated as Two Dayes Transport.
The agency said the accident occurred when a truck operated by Two Dayes Trucking was involved in fatal accident when the driver of a second vehicle collided with, and became wedged underneath, the truck.
"The Two Dayes Trucking CMV was dangerously backing across a hilly section of U.S. 258 at 5:50 p.m. and was attempting to park in Two Dayes Trucking's residential driveway," the imminent hazard order said. "The visibility of the CMV was obscured by the dirt covering its reflective tape. On the date of this fatal crash, Two Dayes Trucking was operating in violation of a FMCSA order that had revoked Two Dayes Trucking's New Entrant registration and had placed the carrier out-of-service for failure to permit a FMCSA safety audit."
The FMCSA said a subsequent FMCSA investigation uncovered another carrier, Two Dayes Transport, operating as an incarnation of Two Dayes Trucking out of the same business location.
The investigation further revealed that Two Dayes Trucking and Two Dayes Transport have amalgamated operations and are operating CMVs in disregard of vital safety regulations and in willful violation of the FMCSA OOS order.
Until it issued the order Thursday, Two Dayes Trucking had continued to operate its CMVs in interstate commerce without BIPD insurance and operating authority, the FMCSA said.
The agency's order did not say when Two Dayes Trucking's new entrant registration was revoked, who signed the OP-1 request for Two Dayes Transport or when the agency granted Two Dayes Transport operating authority, nor did the agency respond immediately to a request for that information.
A check of the FMCSA website showed the DOT number for Two Days Transport listed in Thursday's order to be inactive.

AMONG Santa Claus, tinsel, and presents, Eurobodalla residents found plenty of room for the true meaning of Christmas, with church services well-attended around the shire.
More than 500 people went to the Sacred Heart Catholic Parish's Children's Mass at Moruya on Christmas Eve, which was held this time at the St Mary's Performing Arts Centre due to the threat of rain.
"We had a real live baby Jesus in the Nativity play," parish priest Father Emil Milat said.
There were 100 at the Midnight Mass service, twice as many as last year.
On Christmas Day, 250 turned up to the parish's Moruya service and 150 went to the service at The Pines at Tuross Head.
"It was the biggest Christmas we have had since I have been here," Fr Milat said.
St Bernard's Catholic Church at Batehaven held well-attended services on Christmas Eve (Children's liturgy), Christmas Day and a Croatian service on Christmas Night.
Batemans Bay Anglican Church of the Ascension held its traditional Christmas Eve children's Nativity pageant, except this time it was a chocolate Nativity story, where the story was related with chocolate.
About 130 turned up for this, but only 40 people turned up for the 11pm service, which is down on normal.
However, the 8am service and 10am Holy Communion service on Christmas Day attracted 100 and 120 people respectively.
About 70 people got along to Cross Central (Assemblies of God) at Surfside on Christmas Day to sing carols and hear Pastor Tepa Faletoese preach about the true Christmas story in Luke's gospel and its implications for us today.
Inclement weather didn't help when St John's Anglican Parish at Moruya held carols at Mossy Point on Christmas Eve, but about 60 people got along anyway.
Some churchgoers may have been deterred by the rain which seeped in to the St John's church at Moruya for the 7pm Christmas Eve service, but 50 people still turned up. The church also hosted services at 11pm on Christmas Eve, and of course Christmas Day, to which 95 people came.
About 60 turned up to St Andrew's church at Tuross Head on Christmas Day.
St John's parish priest the Reverend Linda Chapman said numbers were similar to those in recent years.
What Moruya Baptist Church's congregation lacks in size it makes up for in spirit, and 30 people worshipped there on Christmas Day.
"We had people away on holiday, but visitors made up for it," a spokeswoman for the Church said.
Successful services were held at other churches including Batemans Bay and Moruya Uniting Churches, Batemans Bay Baptist Church, Moruya Presbyterian Church and Southland Christian Church.

Dallas County jury gives man 42 years in prison for compelling prostitution of 15-year-old girl
A Dallas County jury sentenced a Dallas man to 42 years in prison Tuesday for making a 15-year-old girl to work as a prostitute, according to the Dallas County District Attorney's office.
Shederick Smith was arrested after Dallas police responded to a Craiglist ad on Christmas Eve 2008 for prostitution.
The girl told police that Smith, 33, was her pimp and she had been living with him and a woman named Princess Moore for a week. Moore also faces compelling prostitution charges.
The girl testified that Smith encouraged her to be a prostitute, bought her a cell phone and helped place ads.
The district attorneys office said that evidence showed that the girl made about $500 and gave Smith all the money. The day police responded to the ad, Smith had told the girl that she could not buy clothes with the money she made. He then told her to continue working as a prostitute.
Prosecutors say Smith had prior convictions for possession of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, endangering a child, DWI, evading arrest, felony theft, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.

Guyana facing deadline over Pakistan Test
ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC):
Guyana has been given a deadline to indicate whether or not it can host a Test match between West Indies and Pakistan in July.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) announced yesterday that a March 7 deadline has been set for the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) to say if the match can take place in that country.
A release from the WICB said the GCB was informed of the deadline on the 16th of last month.
"The West Indies Cricket Board has announced that it had given the Guyana Cricket Board a deadline of March 7th 2013 to advise on its ability to host the West Indies v Pakistan first Test slated for July," the statement said.
The WICB has also announced that Jamaica's Sabina Park has been identified as an alternate venue should the GCB not be in a position to host the Test.
The deadline comes in the face of ongoing controversy in Guyana over disputed elections to elect a new GCB executive in 2011.
The disputed elections had led to the Guyana government dissolving the GCB and replacing it with an Interim Management Committee which the WICB had refused to recognise.
In January, the WICB said it was pleased with the progress being made to resolve the impasse and announced that an international fixture was tentatively set for Guyana.
However, fresh elections to vote in a new GCB executive in January have also been hounded by controversy amid claims that the process was illegal.

Gritty winger Tim Jackman will suit up against the Devils tonight, making his 2013-14 debut. Jackman has been a healthy scratch in the Flames first four games of the season.
While it has been frustrating to be up in the press box, Flames head coach Bob Hartley has appreciated that Jackman has maintained a great attitude and is looking forward to seeing the 6-foot-2, 225-pound winger in action tonight.
"Jacks is a great team guy. He is well-respected by his teammates, by us - the coaching staff - because every game, Jacks will give everything that he's got.
"That's the only Tim Jackman that I know. You watch him practice, you watch in the gym, you watch him play - he shows up. I'm sad for [David Jones] to be injured but at the same time, I'm glad to be able to get Jacks in the lineup."
The 31-year-old will likely play on the left wing on a line with Joe Colborne and Brian McGrattan.
This could very well be 41-year-old Martin Brodeur's last season in the NHL and if that is the case, this is the last time the netminder will be between the pipes in Calgary. Many of the Flames grew up watching Brodeur backstop the New Jersey Devils to three Stanley Cups and they are excited to get another chance to play against him.
"It's a good challenge for us tonight," Lee Stempniak noted. "He's an extremely good goalie and you like to match-up and say you went against one of the best ever. You always look at it as a challenge to play against him and try to score against him."
This also may be 41-year-old Jaromir Jagr's last stop in Calgary as well.
After Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens, Hartley praised Sven Baertschi and said that his play against the Habs was the best he had seen out of the youngster during his time with the organization.
Baertschi concurred with the bench boss' assessment and is looking forward to building off of that performance.
"For me, my goal is to get as good as possible," he said. "To have a really strong offensive game and really strong defensive game."
The Swiss winger scored his first goal of the season on Wednesday, tapping in a pass from linemate Sean Monahan. That also has bolstered his confidence.
"I think all the hockey players know that feeling when you get that first one out of the way. It's weird. It's hard to describe. It just gives you an extra confidence boost and you're much more comfortable out there."
All-time record vs. New Jersey: 58-22-11-1-1

Take a sneak peek at the new NIST.gov and let us know what you think!
(Please note: some content may not be complete on the beta site.).
Our goal is to address the metrology of magnetic effects at the nanoscale level. Nanomagnet arrays form the basis for major data storage technologies, notably magnetoresistive random access memory and bit-patterned media for ultra-high density storage devices. Moreover, the semiconductor industry is looking beyond conventional CMOS processing, where current lithography techniques are expected to fail.Although fabrication methods for post-CMOS circuitry have not been established, it is certain that the magnetic components involved will be in the nanometer range.Although defects are expected to dominate device behavior at this range, the metrology of defect-induced magnetic effects has not been developed at this scale.
We focus primarily on arrays of magnetic nanostructures in order to reveal how defects alter the fundamental physics of magnetization reversal processes in the nanometer regime. We have an integrated approach that consists of four inter-related elements. The first element, film edge metrology, addresses the role of the edge on magnetic behavior uniformity in magnetic nanostructures. The second element, magneto-optical nanostructure spectroscopy, is meant to provide fast and precise individual nanostructure "fingerprints". Another element, microscopy, provides quantitative microstructure and defect information that can be correlated with magnetic behavior. Finally, nanomagnetic modeling element offers an efficient and accurate theoretical predictive tool.

On March 2, 2011, council members (including at-the-time interim Mayor Dwaine Caraway), downtown real-estate execs and preservationists gathered in the shadow of the Statler Hilton to celebrate new owners promising to restore and "respect the property." Three years and almost three months later, the Statler has been sold again to a developer with a "very ambitious" redo in store for the historic hotel. This time, though, there will be no ceremony, only a press release from the company that brokered the deal that became official yesterday.
Henry S. Miller Brokerage sends word that Leobardo Trevino sealed the deal on Monday to sell the 589,457-square-foot hotel and the adjacent once-upon-a-time central library (at 131,800 square feet) to Centurion American, which, since January, has been promising a $175-million makeover that will include residential units, hotel rooms, restaurants, retail and office spaces, a lounge, a live-music venue, a six-screen movie theater and even some new buildings on planted on nearby parking lots.
Just two years ago it looked like Trevino was well on his way to rehabbing the Statler. He built out a model apartment, and discovered a long-thought-lost mural that once adorned the formerly glamorous Empire Room supper club. But Trevino ultimately bowed out, and in stepped Mehrdad Moayedi.
"The Statler is a Dallas icon," says Trevino in a prepared statement. "Out of all the groups that presented us offers, I know that this icon has found its match with Centurion American."
The Dallas City Council certainly feels the same way: Last month it OK'd giving Centurion $46.5 million from the Downtown Connection TIF, of which $43.5 million would come in the form of an economic development TIF grant. "It's going to connect the dots from the Arts District to the Farmers Market and back to downtown," Tennell Atkins said before the council green-lit the deal. "It will be great to have something great on that side of town."
This is certainly a banner week for historic downtown buildings briefly owned by Trevino. As we noted only yesterday, New Orleans-based HRI Properties is holding a "reconstruction ceremony" Thursday at the old LTV Tower at 1600 Pacific Avenue. Five years ago Trevino snapped up the 50-year-old Harwood K. Smith-designed 32-story high-rise and promised its rebirth as The Grand Ricchi Dallas. HRI, which inherited Trevino's $13-million TIF deal with Dallas City Hall, now says half of 1600 Pacific will be a Hilton Garden Inn, and half will be apartment units.
As for the Statler, Henry S. Miller exec vice president Lew Wood vows it's in good hands, as in: "Centurion American was the most viable buyer for the Statler Hilton hotel and Dallas Central Library. Their professionalism, experience and in-depth due diligence throughout the transaction was just a small sampling of what they will potentially create at this site."
For those who missed it the first time around, that potential, presented in the form of reams of renderings, is below. The due date is October 2017, give or take.

Vette Testarossa – $16500 (las vegas)
Found that headline while browsing Craigslist this week and for some reason, I got a kick that out of all places, the car is in Vegas. Now its got to stay there, right? Our black faux-testarossa sits on a 1984 Corvette chassis and the merged kit car looks to be well executed, down to the prancing horse logo on the rear. If you've got $16,500 or a 2000 or newer limousine to trade, the Vette Testarossa could be yours!

USA, 2009, 76 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Documentary, Environmental, Social IssuesLanguage: English
Special Screening Tuesday, March 30 at 7:15pm
Director Stephanie Soechtig and Producer Sarah Olson IN-PERSON
Exchange your water bottles for a reusable bottle before the screening!
Digital presentation - Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right, or a commodity that should be bought and sold like any other article of commerce? Stephanie Soechtig's debut feature is an unflinching examination of the big business of bottled water.
From the producers of Who Killed the Electric Car and I.O.U.S.A., this timely documentary is a behind-the-scenes look into the unregulated and unseen world of an industry that aims to privatize and sell back the one resource that ought never to become a commodity: our water.
From the plastic production to the ocean in which so many of these bottles end up, this inspiring documentary trails the path of the bottled water industry and the communities which were the unwitting chips on the table. A powerful portrait of the lives affected by the bottled water industry, this revelatory film features those caught at the intersection of big business and the public's right to water.

Why "Walking Dead" is dead to me
Posted by Herneith in Uncategorized on April 15, 2015
Excellent article. This is why I don't watch a lot of these shows with 'Black characters'. I prefer this in most instances:
Anyhow, an excellent article by author Stephen Barnes!
SPOILER WARNING: No, screw it.
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
And here, predictable as clockwork, is the balancing essay to my comments about "Focus" just a few days ago. No, my optimism is still high, for the movie, our country, and the human race. But it is important to speak about this because I've watched it for five years, had innumerable conversations about it, and while I often loved the show, at times it felt like watching a slow-motion train wreck.
I'm done with "Walking Dead." And the Upton Sinclair quote needs to be modified to be understood in this context: it is difficult to get someone to understand something if understanding would cost them pleasure, or cause pain, or acknowledge their privilege. It isn't quite "you can't wake up someone who is pretending…

Support Black Businesses
Posted by Herneith in Uncategorized on February 5, 2015
I have purchased some of these products and particularly liked the deodorant. Apparently they no longer ship to Canada as I wanted to try the toothpase! A pity!! Anyways, try to shop as much as you can in your respective communities.
Last year on Black Friday, my blogger buddy suggested that I begin my mission of turning Black Friday, a horrible and painful reminder of our holocaust, into Black Empowerment Day. Then I thought:
Why only that one day? Why not EVERY DAY?
So here I am asking all of you to shop within our communities globally and keep the wealth within our Melanin Family. The process is called Ujamaa(ooo jah ma) and means Collective Economics. Why do I keep asking all of us to do this simple yet daunting task? Because Collective Economics gives way to:
Black Pride
Reliance on each other
Building stronger Black Networks
Building stronger Black Communities
Did you know that the Black dollar leaves us every 15 minutes? A far cry from Black Wall Street when the Black Dollar circulated at least 15-20 times before it left our tiny community. The results were quite…

William Shawcross is right. Charity executive pay should be proportionate and fair. In fact, it already is. Celina Ribeiro argues that the scandal is that this 'scandal' will deter good leaders from the charity sector.
Following claims and counter claims of conflicts of interest at the PFRA and Institute of Fundraising boards, Celina Ribeiro takes a closer look at the trustees of these two fundraising organisations.
Lord Hodgson has released his review into the Charities Act 2006. Celina Ribeiro follows the debate from charities and commentators around the world wide web.
It's two years since Britain voted in the previously unlikely coalition of the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. Celina Ribeiro tracks the main developments of the coalition's first half of government.
The emergence of the fundraising CEO is not new but is here to stay. It's vital for the continued growth of the sector.

Accepting involuntary labour is the last thing that charities should be doing, says Celina Ribeiro. The government's work experience scheme is a threat to public trust and confidence.
If female leaders are too modest to identify themselves how will we ever get more women into top jobs? Celina Ribeiro says top women in charities need to stand up, literally.

President Obama's remarks today outlined an exciting blueprint to achieve a long-term energy security policy for our nation. He highlighted the commitment of the U.S. Air Force to obtain half of its domestic jet fuels from alternative sources by 2016.
The commercial aviation industry is also doing its part to be a responsible environmental steward. The Aerospace Industries Association, a founding member of the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuels Initiative, is also part of an international coalition committed to 1.5 percent per year fuel efficiency gains annually through 2020, carbon neutral growth from 2020 and halving aviation's net CO2 emissions by 2050 compared to 2005 levels.
This will be accomplished on multiple fronts including the development of sustainable aviation biofuels. Incentives to make aviation biofuels commercially viable will help meet today's challenges and save taxpayers money.
Also critical is the timely implementation of the Next Generation Air Transportation System. NextGen system efficiencies will reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions up to 12 percent by 2025 – the equivalent of taking 2.2 million cars off the road for one year.
AIA and its members are committed to fuel efficiency and both biofuels and NextGen are critical to achieving the president's objectives. Innovative airframe and engine design have reduced commercial aviation fuel consumption by 70 percent over the last 40 years. We're looking forward to continuing that record of achievement.

Officials say 99,000 deaths a year from bacterial infection is serious when many of those cases are preventable. One local expert tells us bacteria such as staph can be fatal if not handled properly.
Homer Rice, with the Leon County Health Department said, "Staphlyloccocus is on your skin. When you have a cut on your skin, many times when you get a little infection on your skin, that's because you've opened up an area for the staph on your skin to get into the cut. So you carry staph with you."
A few groups have organized to prevent these infections. They have come up with recommendations to empower patients. First, they recommended that parents to bring their own toys to the pediatrician because the others that are for public use are covered in bacteria.
If you are going into surgery, studies show staying warm helps fight infection. They recommend heating up your car on the way to the hospital and keeping blankets on you.
Also, ask your doctor to wash his or her hands in front of you so you know they're clean. Ask where needles come from as well as medication.
And finally, if you're having surgery, ask your doctor all the things you can possibly do to prevent infection.

These awards are designed to recognize the exemplary academic performance of prospective students without regard to financial need. The merit scholarship will be the first component of any need-based financial aid award. Learn about the scholarships that are available.
Grants (outright gifts) may be made from the college's own endowment, from state or federal sources or from outside agency funds. Most grants are based on demonstrated financial need.
Outside Scholarships
Any student receiving financial aid who also receives scholarships, loans, tuition remission or support from a source other than the college must report the additional aid to the Dickinson Financial Aid Office. Such assistance can affect the student's eligibility for assistance from federal and institutional resources. The total amount of aid received by the student cannot exceed need as computed by federally approved methodology. The college will always reduce or eliminate self-help (loans or work) before reducing grant aid.

Be A Novice Computer Repair Technician Instantly
When in doubt, call a specialist, which is what normal people do. But is that always the right thing to do? For example, if your computer breaks down, do you immediately call in a computer repair technician to fix it for you? Or could you do some tinkering first and try to save your computer by your lonesome? The answer people, is a big yes. Sometimes a computer technician isn't exactly what you need. Sometimes what you need is a screwdriver and a steady hand.
There is always that option to call the IT guy and have your computer repaired instantly if you have $350 to pay up front. But what they do, which you probably still don't know, is simple enough that with a few tutorials online you can be as proficient in computer repair as that IT guy. We are not stating here that you will become an expert, we are only saying that most of the time, those terrible problems you think you have with your computer, are just simple problems with simple solutions.
The trick here is to know what needs expert help and what you can do on your own. If the problem is too extreme for your natural skills to fix, well then call up the technician, but if it's something as mundane as your video card not functioning properly, needless to say you can fix it by yourself. Identify what is the problem and you can find simple solutions for it, this is what you should always remember.
Take for example, if your computer shows only a blinking screen, you have power in your computer tower and your monitor screen also powers up, the only problem is there is no signal between the CPU towards the monitor. Easy enough the problem might be that your monitor adaptor isn't tucked in tight. If that doesn't work, try opening the tower case and remove and replace the video card. This simple steps most of the time will fix your blinking monitor problem, call up a technician and this are the steps they will probably do as well, and you will pay them $300 for that?
The problem with the common average Joe is that, whenever they encounter any problem with their computer, they panic and get crazy. But sometimes being coolheaded can save you a lot of money. If you have a computer most probably you have a Smartphone. Use technology to your advantage and not the other way around. Use your Smartphone and search for a solution to your PC problem. If it can't be solved using the internet then that is the time that you call in expert help. Common sense is a great ally if you can employ its use.

LISTEN: My Husband Attacked Me When I Was Nine-Months Pregnant
Monday 28th July 2014
This incredibly brave woman told LBC about what happened when her husband of eight years hospitalised her when she was nine-months pregnant.
Labour claim that victims of domestic abuse are being failed by the Government because their abusers are escaping justice as Shadow Home Secretary unveiled plans for more prosecutions.
As James O'Brien discussed domestic violence, Sally in Croydon called to tell her story.
She was nine-months pregnant and had been with her husband for 12 years when he attacked her and put her in hospital.
Sally called the police and he was remanded in prison, which meant he lost his job. This meant that she ended up with no support and would have been better off if he was never prosecuted.
Listen to her thought-provoking call above.

Being overweight is associated with a number of health risks and obesity (typically defined as having a body mass index, or BMI, over 30) is even more dangerous. Some of the health risks associated with overweight and obesity include the following: Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance: Insulin resistance means that the pancreas has to produce increasing amount of insulin to allow glucose to enter cells and be used for fuel. Because fat cells are more resistant to insulin than muscle cells, people who are overweight tend to produce more insulin to keep blood glucose levels stable. Once the pancreas can no longer keep up with this increasing demand, blood glucose levels rise, leading to type 2 diabetes. Cancers: Obesity has been associated with an increased risk of developing certain cancers, including colon cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer (cancer of the uterine lining), gallbladder cancer, and breast cancer in postmenopausal women. Heart attack and stroke Hypertension Osteoarthritis Gout Sleep apnea and other breathing problems, including an increased susceptibility to respiratory infection and asthma Heart failure Gallstones Stillbirth and hypertension of pregnancy Stress incontinence Increased risk of postsurgical infection and other complications of surgery Infertility Varicose veins Reflux esophagitis Weight reduction and maintenance of a normal body weight can diminish many of these risks.

Canada Stocks to Watch: RIM and More
By Carolyn King
Listed below are the stocks expected to move during Friday's trading session.
Research In Motion sold its NewBay unit to Synchronoss Technologies for $55.5 million. RIM had acquired Dublin-based NewBay for around $100 million last year.
KEYreit said an Ontario court ruled that KEYreit isn't entitled to any proceeds generated by sales of Priszm Income Fund's restaurant operations. KEYreit said it's reviewing the decision and is considering all options, including a possible appeal.
Element Financial said it plans to buy Nexcap Finance Corp. for about C$20 million plus the assumption of existing debt. Ontario-based Nexcap provides direct financing and vendor financing support to equipment dealers, distributors and manufacturers.
Aeterna Zentaris said it has reached an agreement with the FDA on a Special Protocol Assessment for an upcoming Phase 3 registration trial in endometrial cancer with its doxorubicin peptide conjugate, AEZS-108. The agreement "provides us with a clearly defined development and regulatory pathway for AEZS-108 in endometrial cancer," the company said.

Dates of Program: May 6 - June 15, 2013
During this program, the students will be introduced to the fundamental game-theoretical concepts such as Nash equilibria and evolutionariy stable strategy. They will learn how to use computational tools (such as a freeware program NetLogo), as well as analytical tools (optimization and linear algebra), to identify strategies in real game theoretical models with applications in biology or medicine (such as Asian Carp invasion in Mississippi River, or emergence of invasive tumor cells). The students will further be trained in all aspects of research, starting with the ethics code, going through the workshops on using library and online resources and ending with training in delivering oral presentations as well as in using LaTeX to write mathematical papers. We expect that each student will submit at least one research paper and present the finding during at least two conferences (held in NC during Fall 2013). Also, the program directors intent to write a paper on the NREUP experience and hope that this project will be the beginning of the wider and broader collaboration between UNCG and Bennett College.

Brian O'Driscoll has criticised Ireland's discipline and the failure to keep the scoreboard ticking over when in the ascendancy during the RBS 6 Nations defeat to Scotland on Sunday.
Ireland dominated possession and territory but a failure to convert opportunities after Craig Gilroy's try put them eight points ahead. The concession of key penalties in the second half saw Scotland claw themselves back to grab a victory that even they could hardly believe.
Speaking at the launch for Adidas Boost in Dublin, O'Driscoll told RTÉ Sport: "It's a Test match we should never have lost. In Test rugby if you don't take those chances teams are able to stay with you.
"They grow in confidence, and that's exactly what's happened with Scotland. The indiscipline in the second half killed us. They kicked their goals, and the rest is history unfortunately."
O'Driscoll did not shy away from criticising team-mates for conceding needless penalties after Ireland had failed to turn their dominance into points, referring to the fact that the players are well aware of what to expect from referees.
He said: "It's not as though we are going into games blind. We know what to expect from referees. The stupid ones that you wouldn't see at schoolboy level are unacceptable.
"You just can't have that. I think the guys that were responsible for them know that and feel silly for having given them away."
But Ireland's problems go deeper than their indiscipline.Team captain Jamie Heaslip opted not to go for kicks at goal on two occasions in the first half, and Ireland subsequently failed to score with attempted lineout mauls, allowing Scotland off the hook.
O'Driscoll, who was Ireland captain until last November, said: "You have to keep the scoreboard ticking over when you have momentum and territory. When you have pressure on the opposition, you need to put points on the board."
Asked Ireland's decision making on the field, he added: "I can help Jamie when he needs it, that's what I'm there for. I'm a senior player, albeit not captain any more. But I'll certainly add my tuppence worth in certain situations.
"Ultimately, I have to respect that he is the captain and that he has the final call on those decisions. That's the way we are working it. I don't see how anything is going to change in that regard."
The out-half selection has also been the subject of much comment since Ireland's defeat. And while while Jackson missed three of four attempts at goal, O'Driscoll was quick to praise the impact he and fellow Ulsterman Luke Marshall had in general play.
He said: "Paddy didn't have a brilliant day with his goalkicking but I thought the rest of his game was exceptionally good. He ran it well, he took the ball to the line himself, he put people through gaps.
"Himself and Luke in the centre acquitted themselves really well. Paddy is a lovely footballer. He threatens himself and brings defenders onto him. He had a lot of really good involvements."
O'Driscoll also refused to be drawn on Declan Kidney's future, which has been the subject of much speculation since the defeat.
He said: "We have two games left in this Six Nations. I know Declan is contracted until after the summer tour. If we are looking beyond that now, we are in trouble.
"We have got ourselves in a hole having started so well, and then the last two games have been so disappointed. We need to focus on France next week and not concern ourselves with what is going to happen in future.
"We need to dig in collectively as management and as a squad and start focussing on our next game because beyond that there is not much to worry us if we continue to keep losing games."
He did, however, agree with full-back Rob Kearney that the head coach could not be blamed for Ireland's failure to take opportunities.
He said: "Declan's not responsible for us not being clinical and not taking opportunities. He doesn't have any hand or say in that. From that point of view it has to be put firmly on the players."

New information about the case of a man accused of killing an eastern Kentucky police chief.
Attorneys for Jamie Barnett say they do not plan to try and get his trial moved out of Powell County.
Barnett is accused of shooting Clay City Police Chief Randy Lacy while in the back of his cruiser.
His attorneys state in court records that they do not have sufficient evidence that Barnett can't get a fair trial.

FORT RUCKER -- During a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday afternoon at the Hanchey Army Heliport on Fort Rucker, the lives of CW4 Keith Yoakum and CW2 Jason Defrenn we honored by renaming the AH-64 Maintenance Hangar to the Yoakum-Defrenn Hangar.
A large crowd gathered to pay their respects and watch as the ribbon was cut to announce the dedication. CW4 Yoakum and CW2 Defrenn served the Army as maintenance test pilots and combat aviators. They both received the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for their selfless and brave service.
During a February 2007 combat air patrol in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, their helicopter was shot down by enemy forces. Instead of flying back to safety, they stayed with a wingman. Their helicopter eventually succumbed to battle damages.
Their spouses held their families tight as the Fort Rucker community honored their husbands. They said dedicating a hangar is fitting for the lives of their soldiers.
"For 18 years that I was married to him, I think he spent 16 hours a day, 16 years of those 18 at the hangar, so it's kind of neat," Kelly Yoakum said. "I'm sure Keith would have a big grin on his face but he'd also be quite embarrassed because he wouldn't think that his name should be on a hangar."
The Yoakum-Defrenn Hangar will be used for aircraft maintenance for the AH-64 Apache Fleet at the Hanchey Army Heliport.

Air China, China Southern 1Q earnings plummet
By AviationBrief
Published: April 27, 2012
Air China 737-800. Courtesy, Boeing
Air China (CA) and China Southern Airlines (CZ) saw their first-quarter income plunge due to high fuel prices and the slowing of yuan appreciation, according to carrier statements released by Shanghai Stock Exchange.
CA reported first-quarter net income of CNY239 million ($ 37.8 million), down 85.7% over CNY1.67 billion in the year-ago quarter. Operating revenue increased 7.7% to 22.9 billion against an increase of 16.9% in operating expenses to CNY22.71 billion.
CZ posted a first-quarter net income of CNY319 million, down 74.2% from CNY1.23 billion in the same quarter of last year. Operating revenue climbed 15.5% to CNY23.7 billion while operating expenses jumped 23.8% to CNY23.4 billion.
Neither carrier released first-quarter traffic figures.
Industry analysts also cited market demand slowdown as the main reason for the results.
China Eastern Airlines earlier this week predicted its first-quarter profit will drop by more than half from CNY1.01 billion reported in the year-ago quarter, citing similar reasons (ATW Daily News, April 25).

Atomic Number: 40
Atomic Symbol: Zr
Atomic Weight: 91.224
Melting Point: 3,371 F (1,855 C)
Boiling Point: 7,968 F (4,409 C)
Word origin: The word zirconium derives from the Persian zargun, meaning gold-like. Zircon, the primary gemstone mineral of zirconium, is also known as jargon, hyacinth, jacinth and ligure. Zircon, and its variations, is mentioned in the Bible.
Discovery: It was not known that zircon contained a new element until 1789, when Martin Heinrich Klaproth discovered it while analyzing a jargon from Ceylon. In 1824, Berzelius first isolated the impure metal by heating a mixture of potassium and potassium zirconium fluoride in a small decomposition process.
Properties of zirconium
Zirconium is a transition metal with a grayish-white luster. The solid metal is difficult to ignite, but when it is finely divided it may ignite spontaneously in air, especially at high temperatures. Its compounds have a low inherent toxicity. [See Periodic Table of the Elements]
Zirconium has a low absorption cross section for neutrons and so is used for nuclear energy applications. Zirconium is exceptionally resistant to corrosion by many common acids and alkalis, seawater and other agents. Alloyed with zinc, zirconium becomes magnetic at temperatures below 35 K (minus 238.1 C / minus 396.7 F).
Hafnium is always found in zirconium ores, and it is difficult to separate it out. Commercial-grade zirconium contains 1 to 3 percent hafnium. Reactor-grade zirconium has no hafnium.
Natural zirconium contains five isotopes and fifteen others are known to exist.
Sources of zirconium
Zirconium is produced from the mineral zircon (ZrSiO4). Lunar rocks appear to have a surprisingly high zircon content compared to terrestrial rocks, according to analysis of lunar rock samples from the various Apollo missions. It is found abundantly in S-type stars and has been identified in the sun and meteorites. Zirconium can also be present in at least 30 other recognized mineral species.
Zirconium mineral deposits are found all over the world.
It is produced commercially by reduction of the chloride with magnesium, in addition to other methods.
Uses of zirconium
Zircon (or zirconium oxide) has a high index of refraction and is used as a gemstone — probably zirconium's most well-known use. The impure oxide, zirconia, is used for laboratory crucibles that withstand heat shock, for metallurgical furnace linings, and for refractory materials in glass and ceramics. This use accounts for a large amount of all zirconium use in the world.
Zirconium is used in surgical appliances, in photoflash bulbs, as a getter in vacuum tubes, an alloying agent in steel, explosive primers, lamp filaments, rayon spinnerets, and much more. It is used in poison ivy lotions as a form of carbonate.
Zirconium is superconductive with niobium at low temperatures. In this state it is used to make superconductive magnets, and there is hope that these magnets could contribute to a large-scale generation of electric power.
Zircaloy, a patented alloy, was developed specifically for nuclear applications. Commercial nuclear power generation currently accounts for more than 90 percent of zirconium metal production. Commercial-sized reactors can use as much as a half-million linear feet of zirconium alloy tubing.

Red Rock Merlot 2005, 82 points
Simple would be the word for this wine. Definitely not overbearing. I'm being sarcastic because this is by far a table wine at best. New world, tank feel. The nose has cedar, plum, with some vanilla and hints of strawberry. The palate was short and weak. Not too much fruit but the tannins definitely hit hard. The finish was short and all tannins. About 10 bucks. might be ok for that price but that is not what my blog is about. I just cant endorse this wine. I would love to say give it a few years but I just cant see this wine blooming. There is just not enough complexity for it to thrive and grow.

Clinton Fills Cabinet After Scramble to Diversify
By DAVID E. ROSENBAUM
Published: December 21, 1996
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20— President Clinton filled out his Cabinet for his second term today after a last-minute scramble to give the team more racial and ethnic diversity.
The President's final decision, made in a meeting that lasted until after midnight on Thursday, was to pick Federico F. Pena to be Secretary of Energy. Mr. Pena, who has been Secretary of Transportation for the last four years, had begged out of that job and had expected to leave Washington next month.
To replace Mr. Pena at the Transportation Department, Mr. Clinton chose Rodney E. Slater, the current head of the Federal Highway Administration.
The other Cabinet choices announced today were Alexis M. Herman, a White House staff assistant, to be Secretary of Labor, and Andrew M. Cuomo, a son of former Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, to be Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Andrew Cuomo is now an Assistant Housing Secretary.
Mr. Pena was apparently selected because of the President's concern that without him the 14-member Cabinet would have no Hispanic member. Polls of voters leaving the polling places last month showed that Mr. Clinton won 72 percent of the Hispanic vote, which made up 7 percent of his total vote. Groups representing Hispanic interests in Washington have made that point prominently in recent days.
At a brief news conference at the end of the announcement ceremony, the President was asked today whether he had felt pressure from interest groups to diversify his Cabinet.
''No,'' he replied, ''the pressure was pressure I put on myself. I believe that one of my jobs at this moment in history is to demonstrate by the team I put together that no group of people should be excluded from service to our country and that all people are capable of serving. So I have striven to achieve both excellence and diversity.''
In the 1992 Presidential campaign Mr. Clinton promised to have a Cabinet that looked like America, but he did not emphasize that point in this year's campaign.
Mr. Slater and Ms. Herman are black; Mr. Cuomo is white. The Cabinet now has 10 white members, 3 black ones, 1 Hispanic one. Fourteen of the members are women, three of them white.
The President named his foreign policy and economic teams earlier this month.
Mr. Clinton's new Cabinet consists of familiar faces, almost all of whom were already in the Administration in some capacity. This seemed to indicate that the President was satisfied with the way things have been going and did not anticipate any sharp departures from past practices.
Some top members of the White House staff did not learn of Mr. Pena's selection until they arrived at work this morning, and Mr. Pena himself was said to have been surprised by the turn of events.
When his turn came to speak today, Mr. Pena said, ''I think perhaps the first thing I will be doing is taking down the For Sale sign that is in front of our house.''
But lobbyists for Hispanic interests remained dissatisfied.
''We're not happy,'' said Charles Kamasaki, national vice president of the National Council of La Raza. ''After an election which demonstrated a watershed in terms of Latino turnout and support for the President, we have a reduction in the number of Cabinet members. And the remaining Cabinet member is with an agency, which is energy, which has marginal influence over the key domestic policy issues of importance to us.''
The current Cabinet has a second Hispanic member, Housing Secretary Henry G. Cisneros, who is leaving the Government.
Perhaps sensitive to the criticism, Mr. Clinton made a point today of announcing the nomination of Aida Alvarez to be director of the Small Business Administration, generally a position of secondary importance.
Representative Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who is Hispanic, has been picked to be the United States representative to the United Nations, a top-level post but not technically part of the Cabinet.
By picking Ms. Herman to be Labor Secretary, the President sided with the candidate favored by women's groups and civil rights organizations and against the one preferred by organized labor, former Senator Harris Wofford of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Clinton said he had considered ''a number of superbly qualified people'' for the position and mentioned Mr. Wofford and Representative Esteban Torres of California. Mr. Torres was favored by Hispanic groups.
In addition to his Cabinet choices, Mr. Clinton announced these other selections today:
*Janet Yellen, a member of the Federal Reserve Board, to be chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.
*Thomas F. McClarty, Mr. Clinton's first chief of staff and now counselor to the President, to be a special envoy to Latin America.
*Bruce Reed, a deputy assistant to the President, to be the chief domestic policy adviser.
The announcement ceremony proved a bit awkward at the outset with 26 people lined up on the stage of the auditorium of the Old Executive Office Building across the street from the White House. They included officials who were coming into the Administration, those who were being replaced and several who are staying on in their current jobs, including Attorney General Janet Reno.
They were ushered onto the stage about noon, when the ceremony was scheduled to begin, but Mr. Clinton kept them waiting for nearly half an hour.
The delay was too much for one of Mr. Cuomo's twin daughters, Cara, who will be 2 years old next month, and she began to cry while Mr. Clinton was talking.
''Relax,'' the President said, ''this is a pro-family Administration.''
When his turn came to speak, Mr. Cuomo apologized for his daughter's crying and said, ''I hope that's not an omen.''

Strangely enough the code in question is not compiled in VC-* build...
Basically there is no need for GetModuleHandle("avdapi32") and

present on all WinNT *and* Win9x. On latter they do nothing, but they
are present, so that application won't suffer from startup errors if you
