a syndrome some people have characterized by muscle tics and launguage unconctrollability. people with tourettes could be some of the most annoying people out there. they rant, rant, and rant. they may be sensitive to occurances to them but are extremely insensitive to what others feel. people with tourettes normally talk in circles that lead nowhere and won't allow what others are saying to finish. they tend to drain people because they have to one up what everyone is say at times. other cases of tourettes my be uncontrollable behavior such as lashing out into fights at others for insignificant things. they may never shut up or leave people alone. their mouth is a non stop bullshitting hole constantly trying to argue points to convert people to their side. if they hold their tics back too long they tend to explode in a mass amounts of muscle tics, moving and stretching their muscles all over like a crazy person.
if you have tourettes, stay the fuck away from me!

DeLand, Fla. - The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) honored both the Stetson men's and women's soccer squads as among its national list of Team Academic Award winners. Both Head Coach T. Logan Fleck's men and Head Coach Julie Orlowski's women posted collective team grade point averages of 3.0 or higher for the 2010-11 academic year.
Only 68 out of 300+ NCAA Division I institutions picked up honors for both men's and women's soccer; Stetson was one of four in the Atlantic Sun Conference to do so, joining FGCU, Mercer and USC Upstate. Both the Hatter men and women posted well over the minimum qualifying GPA.
This is the second year in a row that both Stetson soccer squads have been so honored and the third consecutive award for Coach Orlowski's women's soccer program.

Companies like Redbox thrive because massive sections of the country are on the tech equivalent of 56k and streaming is the last thing they'd fathom right now. Other parts of the world are in similar situations where major cities are well fitted for bandwidth but outside of it the support falls by the wayside.Gaming companies have stated that the future will be all digital so there for it is plausible and I for one believe that Nintendo is going to surprise us all and release a Wii U with no disc format and go fully digital.

NEW YORK � �Chicago� has swaggered into the history books again.
Thursday night's performance of the edgy musical was its 6,681, meaning it becomes the third longest-running show in Broadway history. It snatches that title from �Les Miserables.�
The only shows that have run longer are �Cats,� with almost 7,500 shows, and �The Phantom of the Opera,� which is still going after more than 10,300 performances.
It was only last year that �Chicago� took over third place on the list, beating out �A Chorus Line.�
Set in the 1920s, �Chicago� is a scathing satire of how show business and the media make celebrities out of criminals. It has skimpy outfits, a rotating cast of celebrities and killer songs such as �All That Jazz.�

When I was a much younger man – some days, especially lately, it feels like a million years ago – like many of my contemporaries I dreamed of seeing the world and traveling to far away and exotic places; my particular dream had a different sort of wrinkle however. For you see, what I really desired to do was not travel far a field to sit on a beach absorbing the local color – as wonderful as that would be! – but instead, I really longed to go someplace to be of help to those struggling to survive in what we then called the "developing world". At that time, I always looked forward to receiving the wonderful monthly publication put out by the Maryknoll Missionaries, and I read it religiously, looking forward to the incredible stories the wonderful Maryknoll Fathers, Brothers, Sisters and Lay Missionaries that were doing so much to bring needed healthcare, resources, and education to far away places in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, acting in ways that helped alleviate the poverty of the people there and encourage development, making tangible the command that Our Lord gave to us when he delivered his Sermon on the Mount as it is recounted in the 25th Chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew. I was truly in awe of these heroic people, and of the stories they told of the incredible work they did in and among the people that they served.
This desire to help the poor – planted in my soul through my reading Maryknoll Magazine and elsewhere – continued to grow in me as I went on with my studies and progressed towards my still developing adulthood. I recall as I was in college and law school hearing of acquaintances of our family who were going off for summer break or a semester to work in the missions with one of the wonderful youth volunteer organizations like the volunteer corps run by the Jesuits and the Brothers De La Salle. In my heart I always admired these young people who with little thought for their own comfort and personal safety would head off and devote a portion of their lives to helping people in a far distant land that they had never actually met before. To me, this seemed the epitome of Christian love in action. I recall conversations at our dinner table at that time where I would share my admiration of this particular dedication to service of the poor of the developing world with my family. The response I got to this conversation – particularly the one from my Dad- surprised me. My Father – truly one of the most generous men that I have ever met and a native of the Fordham section of the Bronx who is an honest to goodness "small C" conservative – unlike so much of what passes in the current political debate where I think the "C' stands for comedy instead – my Dad went on to remind me that one need not purchase a plane ticket in order to assist the poor, but that a Metrocard – or in this case, given that this particular conversation took place nearly 30 years ago, a subway token – would suffice. To find poverty, he said, one need not travel outside the confines of the United States, or unfortunately or own great city: poverty was literally right here, in front of our faces, sometimes – scandalously – in the midst of plenty; and that if it was my goal in life to try to do something to alleviate poverty I did not have to board a plane to do so, but could also work locally- here – to address it. I believe much of my Father's awareness was born of the fact that – although a businessman and Certified Public Accountant by training – much of his business and practice was devoted to assisting local affiliates of the Catholic Charities movement address the needs of the poor – be it in the areas of housing, or heathcare, immigration services, food or social assistance – here in our own greater Metropolitain area.
The wisdom of my Dad's answer to my question at that time has always remained with me, and in many ways has served as the guide star to my life's choices – certainly as regards my career decisions. And although life has unfolded in such ways that have actually allowed me to travel to places in the developing world such as East Africa to see the wonderful work and dedication of organizations such as Catholic Relief Services to bring needed development and assistance to the populations living there, it is my Father's instance that I not only focus on the poverty far away "out there"in distant lands, but also – equally importantly – that I look to see and work to address the poverty that exist right HERE that stands out in my mind as especially important, particularly at this very difficult moment in our Nation's economic history. In fact – it is this reality of poverty in our midst, and particularly poverty in its most vicious manifestation: hunger – that I wish to raise up for your consideration today.
New York and its surrounding suburbs are perceived by many as places of unprecedented privilege and plenty, but amid this perceived veneer of abundance there is a specter of increasing poverty and hunger that is growing more manifest day by day. It may surprise you, but last year a staggering 6.1 million meals were served at soup kitchens, food pantries and senior centers in New York City and the Hudson Valley through a Federation of over 90 Agencies that are operated and supported by Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York to address growing hunger needs of families in the region, including "newly poor" families who – out of work or now "under-employed – never sought food assistance before. Many of these families include those with children, and tragically in our own Archdiocese, almost 22% of the children who live in the 10 counties – over 325,000 in number – have difficulty obtaining the nutrition they need. Due to a combination of the increased cost of food and considerably less government funding for food assistance, there is now unfortunately even less food available to feed increasing numbers of hungry families. It is because of this extraordinary situation that Catholic Charities has decided to initiate a special food campaign in order to replenish the dwindling stock at all our food pantries. Entitled the Feeding Our Neighbors: A Catholic Response, this campaign begins tomorrow – Sunday January 22nd and runs through the following Sunday January 29th; Catholic Charities is encouraging all people of good will to address this extraordinary food crisis in our midst. There are three simple ways that you can help: the first is to participate in the Archdiocesan Food Drive that is taking place this coming week – over 1,000 donation boxes for canned and dried food stuffs have been distributed to parishes, schools, CYO programs, healthcare organizations and Catholic ministries around the 10 counties of the Archdiocese. Another way is to donate a collection of money to support emergency food programs – you can do this by visiting the Feeding Our Neighbor's webpage at http://www.catholiccharitiesny.org/make-a-donation/feeding-our-neighbors/ . Or, you can resolve to volunteer at a food pantry or soup kitchen; if you want information on how to do that, please contact Carlos Rodriguez at firstname.lastname@example.com .
Hunger has no season. I urge you to open your eyes and see the poverty in our midst, and – just as importantly – open your heart and resolve to do something to solve it. The solution is in all our hands – lets make sure that not one of our hungry neighbors is ever turned away!

Steven Bench wanted to compete for the starting quarterback job all summer and into the fall, but Penn State coach Bill O'Brien broke some bad news to him Tuesday.
Bench's father, also named Steven, said O'Brien told his son "that they were going to go with the other two guys going into the summer."
Hearing that made Bench re-evaluate his situation at Penn State, and Wednesday he decided to transfer.
The Nittany Lions' quarterback competition now will come down to junior college transfer Tyler Ferguson, a sophomore, and incoming prized recruit Christian Hackenberg. Bench and Ferguson competed during spring drills, but Ferguson emerged with one edge.
"Coach O'Brien essentially said it didn't have anything to do with his performance in the spring," Bench's father said by phone from Georgia. "They just felt that the other two guys have a bigger upside."
With Bench's decision, it would appear to be a certainty that Hackenberg will not redshirt this season. That had been floated as a possibility for months given that the Lions already had two quarterbacks competing.
Article Links
Now it's just one, and Hackenberg's chances of winning the starting job have increased dramatically.
"I have been meeting with all the players this week with my evaluation of where they are at related to football and academics and to discuss what they need to work on this summer," O'Brien said in a university statement. "After meeting with Steven, he informed me he wants to play elsewhere.
"We want what is best for Steven. I want to thank him for his contributions to the program. We wish Steven the best in the future and will assist him anyway we can."
Bench, the backup to Matt McGloin last season, posted his decision on his Twitter account.
"I've decided to leave Penn State and go to a school that will give me the opportunity to compete for the QB spot and reach my full potential," he wrote.
Bench later told ESPN.com, "I still love this place, and I wish it didn't come to this, but I have to make the best choice for me."
The quarterback also told The Daily Collegian, "I'm not running away from competition" and reiterated his desire to be a starting quarterback.
"Penn State is not the best place for me to do that right now," he told The Collegian.
"He's disappointed," his father said.
Bench will be eligible to play right away at another Division I school. As part of Penn State's NCAA sanctions, any player who was a member of the team last season has until August to transfer and avoid the usual penalty of sitting out one year.
Bench is from Cairo, Ga., and played for his father in high school.
"If he can land in the South that would be great," the elder Bench said. "I think to him the main thing is he wants to go somewhere he can compete and be the starting quarterback. He wanted to go to the biggest school that would let him play football, and that's how he ended up at Penn State."
Bench and Ferguson both completed 9-of-15 passes in Saturday's Blue White Game. Bench threw for 99 yards and one TD, while Ferguson threw for 90 yards and two scores.
The quarterbacks appeared to be about even, but O'Brien must have felt Ferguson could be better leading the Lions' offense. Ferguson threw for 2,614 yards and 22 TDs last season at College of the Sequoias in California.
Bench played in only two games for PSU last season, completing 2-of-8 passes for 12 yards.
"He wanted to play big-time football, and it doesn't get any bigger than [Penn State]," Bench's father said. "He embraced all that. When he ran into Beaver Stadium on that Halloween weekend and we're playing Ohio State in front of 106,000, that's as good as it gets.
"He embraced Penn State. I feel like the fans and the people there at the school embraced him."

Worker Advocate Launches TV Ad Campaign Reaching Out to Area Healthcare Professionals
National Right to Work Foundation seeks to inform workers of their rights
Pittsburgh, PA (July 30, 2013) – The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation has launched an information campaign focusing on Pittsburgh-area hospital workers.
The Foundation launched the television ad campaign after receiving reports that a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is stepping up pressure on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) to hand over its workers and allow them to be shoved into union ranks.
The ad campaign currently consists of a series of messages featuring healthcare professionals the Foundation has assisted in the past. The Foundation is the nation's premier organization exclusively dedicated to providing free legal assistance to employee victims of forced unionism abuse.

In addition to her historic college career, Maya Moore is now a trailblazer off the court as well. After being selected No. 1 overall in the WNBA draft to the Minnesota Lynx, she recently signed a deal with Michael Jordan's division of Nike. While Moore is certainly not the first female athlete to ever have an endorsement deal, she's the first to have done so with the Jordan brand.
In Nike, there is no bigger face than Jordan. While Tiger and LeBron James have all made a name for themselves in the Nike company, Jordan's brand is the first, the most widely recognizable and clearly the most successful.
Moore joining the family was no small feat.
Now, she just has to live up to it. Not only is she expected to represent the brand well, but she's expected to win in order to help her team and increase profitability of her deal. In the WNBA, the fan attention is scarce, so she'll have to win if she wants to stay relevant at all.
The task is daunting, but Moore prides herself in being a winner. Let the game begin.

On the eve of tonight's 2012 Video Music Awards, MTV News sent questions to members of the Russian agitprop collective, Pussy Riot, asking them to respond to the growing list of artists who have shown solidarity with the wave of international outrage that has followed the two-year sentencing of fellow members Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevichand for "hooliganism."
The group released a 90-second video moments ago showing the remaining members of the collective unfurling a massive banner, thanking Madonna, Bjork, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Green Day for their solidarity while rappelling down a building and defiantly declaring, "The fight for freedom is an endless battle that is bigger than life!" Then — in a loaded political statement — they burn a photo of Vladimir Putin.

MARTINSBURG - A Martinsburg man accused of beating a Bunker Hill store owner unconscious with a crowbar during a robbery in October was arraigned Monday on warrants charging him with robbery and malicious wounding.
As of Tuesday, Dale Curtis Smith, 35, of Thatcher Road, was being held at Eastern Regional Jail on $30,000 bail.
According to court records, at about 9:17 a.m. Oct. 14, Deputy N. Schoppert of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department responded to a call reporting an assault not in progress at the victim's business in Bunker Hill.
The victim told police that at about 7:30 p.m. Oct. 13, he and Smith entered his business, and Smith struck him in the back of the head with a crowbar. The victim said he blacked out and didn't wake up until 7 a.m. the following day. He said he had given Smith some work in the past, and Smith came to him stating he had no money and no place to stay, records show.
The victim said the only people in the store at the time of the incident were himself and Smith. He said he had $700 in cash and a cellphone in his pocket, which were missing when he awoke.
Schoppert observed blood on the floor of the store, a mop with blood on it and cleaning chemicals in the area where the victim said he woke up, records show.
The deputy also observed a cut on the victim's head and a laceration above his right eye, which was swollen shut. Schoppert photographed the scene and the victim's injuries and subsequently obtained a warrant for Smith's arrest.
If convicted, Smith faces no less than 10 years in prison on the robbery charge and two to 10 years in prison on the malicious wounding charge.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
April 10, 2013
Dr. Dawn Edmiston, associate professor of management and marketing at Saint Vincent College's Alex G. McKenna School of Business, Economics and Government, has been named the recipient of the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) Teaching Excellence Award in region 2. ACBSP recognizes individuals annually from each of its 10 regions who exemplify teaching excellence in the classroom. Edmiston will be honored, along with other regional recipients, at the 2013 ACBSP annual conference, June 21-24 in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will receive a medallion and a monetary prize. Two International Teaching Excellence Award recipients will be announced at a special Salute to Regions luncheon, one from a baccalaureate/graduate degree-granting institution and one from an associate degree-granting institution. As a regional recipient, Edmiston is now a candidate for the international award. "Our course evaluation system enables us to compare our faculty scores to 6,700 other school averages, and Edmiston had the highest rank relative to instructor effectiveness. Her teaching evaluation scores are among the best I recall of any McKenna School business faculty member…She is truly a gifted lecturer and professor," commented Dr. Gary M. Quinlivan, dean of the McKenna School. The Associate Degree Commission of ACBSP established the International Teaching Excellence Award in 1995 to recognize outstanding classroom teachers. In 2002, the Baccalaureate/Graduate Degree Commission created a similar award to recognize excellence in teaching at the baccalaureate/graduate degree level. ACBSP is the only specialized accrediting body for business schools that presents an award recognizing excellence in teaching, open to application by the entire membership. "It is more important than ever for business programs to produce graduates who are ready to enter the global marketplace," said Douglas Viehland, ACBSP executive director. "ACBSP has a mission to develop, promote and recognize best practices that contribute to continuous improvement of business education. Recognition of teaching excellence is one way we achieve this goal," he stated. ACBSP currently has more than 1,171 member campuses in 52 countries and 10 regions. At Saint Vincent, Dr. Edmiston teaches internet and global marketing courses. In addition, she serves as a marketing consultant to the Fred Rogers Center. Her research has been featured in the International Journal of Educational Advancement, Journal of Marketing for Higher Education and publications of the American Marketing Association and Marketing Management Association. She received the 2011 Marketing Management Association AxcessCapon Teaching Innovation Award and the 2012 Middle Atlantic Association of Colleges of Business Innovation in Teaching Prize. Prior to joining academia, Dr. Edmiston held marketing management roles with IBM Business Consulting Services, PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting Services, and Discovery Communications (Discovery Channel, TLC, Travel Channel, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel Online). Her educational background includes a doctorate from University of Maryland University College, an MBA from Columbia University and a BS from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. She is also an alumna of the international exchange programme at London Business School.

District may auction off former schools
July 16, 2013
After the Williamsport Area School District permanently closed the doors two elementary schools last month, the district began exploring the possibility of auctioning off the buildings along with......
Could sell the Woodard school to a local hospital or a Geisinger center. That would provide quick response and medical attention to all the crashes on the Rt 200 corridor between Jersey Shore and Williamsport.

Come on now the district has it's hands in it's pockets and there ain't 'nothen there'. Spent it all on the High School~ Roosevelt construction/renovations. Dump the buildings so the tax paying folks might get a break. Ha ha yeah right
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The only other thing I don't really understand about this is, the school district just raised school taxes, shut down these schools, and now is going to sell them, how does ANY of this benefit us?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Does it matter who buys the property? I suppose not but if it is a NG Company we need to be charging a fortune. I'd like to see someone buy the properties that is going to promote something genuinely positive for the community quite frankly.
And yes, don't do what Jersey Shore did, these buildings are worth more than $2,000.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Hope you do better the the Jersey Shore Borough did in selling a parking lot for $2,000.00.
Should start the bidding at fair market value, not what ever floats peoples boats.

So Luey who is gonna pay to maintain the building that the county finally decides to use as the day reporting center?

The whole idea of getting rid of unused buildings which ALL taxpayers have to pay to maintain....is a SMART idea. wwhickok, does it really matter who bids the highest? Sell the buildings and get a new investor(s).

But 2 of the 3 are located outside the city wwhickok. The Sheridan location would be ideal as it is on the bus route and the neighborhood is not R1.

It would make too much sense to use a school for that and he said he didn't want it in the city.

Didn't I read on here that they are looking for locations for a Day Reporting Center for non violent offenders? I think they even mentioned one of the functions would be to provide education and training to these offenders. Hmmm... seems like these schools could be put to good use. But hey, what do I know.

I'm a little curious, is this a strategy to get the 'highest bidding Gas Company' to make a purchase?

While friends suspected Pobre was "The One" and the couple's moms were already talking grandkids, it wasn't until they were en route to Punta Mita, Mexico, for a joint family vacation last week that the couple confessed – they were getting married in just a few days!
"Everyone was screaming and hugging and over the moon," Keibler, 34, tells PEOPLE exclusively about breaking the good news to their parents and immediate family on the plane to Mexico.
Once settled in at the Palmasola luxury villa in Punta Mita, the small group shared "an absolutely magical time," says Keibler, who met Pobre, 39, a tech entrepreneur, five years ago, but whom she didn't start dating until last fall.
"We felt we wanted to put our money, energy and time into our intimate family and [share] this really special bond, special moment and special memory just with them. There's just so much love," Keibler says.
On Saturday, the couple married on the beach at sunset as guests cried tears of joy.
"It was such a celebration of love with the whole family, better than I could have ever dreamed of," says the TV host and actress, who wore a custom-made dress by Monique Lhuillier. "We can't stop smiling."
Neither can their moms.
Steve Erle
"The energy and love they have for each other is amazing. Our family has embraced Stacy and her parents. I feel very lucky to have her as a daughter-in-law."
The bride's mother, Pat Keibler, echoes this sentiment.
"As a parent all you want for your child is to be happy. We see such joy and happiness in both Stacy and Jared's eyes when they are together. There is a true sense of harmony and love in the energy they share," she says.
"We are excited to welcome Jared and his family into ours. We wish them much happiness, love and laughter."

Surviving World War II amounted to a matter of inches for Carmen M. Pariso.
On Utah. Beach, during the Allied invasion on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the 5-foot-2 Pariso realized that being short was a good thing.
Many of his Army buddies were falling victim to the barrage of German gunfire during the landing on the beaches of Normandy.
"I was left standing as the bullets sailed over my head," Pariso says.
That night, once again, his shortness saved him.
"I relieved a tall friend from lookout duty because I could not sleep," Pariso recalls, adding that as soon as he took over, "a bullet sailed over my head."
He had not only been spared, but a friend, a soldier from Texas, was spared, as well.
A member of the 358th Company, Pariso served as a squad leader whose journey across Europe took him through the Battle of the Bulge and several other major encounters with the Germans. His specialty, explosives, often took a heavy toll on the enemy. He destroyed a number of buildings, enemy tanks and bridges. But one bridge – over the Danube River in Dillingen, Germany – proved almost out of reach.
Aboard a boat that came under fire and started to sink, Pariso and a friend managed to survive by shedding their heavy ammunition belts.
"We eventually took down the bridge, as well as an important concrete enemy bunker," Pariso says. "We had to use double the dynamite, and the blast was so strong that the usual 10 seconds that allowed us to clear out after setting the bomb still wasn't enough, and I was blown into the air off my feet."
Years later, Tony Pariso, Carmen's oldest son, visited Germany and saw the site where the bridge once was.
"You couldn't tell much that there had been a war. It was all modern," says the 63-year-old son, who assisted his 94-year-old father in recalling the war stories that have dimmed with the passage of time.
Yet there are memories that Carmen Pariso cannot forget, such as the Nazi death camp at Buchenwald. He says that when he and other soldiers liberated Buchenwald, there were stacks of bodies. And even more troubling, in the middle of those stacks, sometimes they would find captives who were still alive.
"It was awful. The bodies were piled like cordwood," Pariso remembers. "What could you do? This was war."
But amid all the horrors of war, there were a couple of somewhat pleasant moments.
One time, Pariso took some German soldiers prisoner, and one of them paid him a backhanded compliment, saying, "You're small but bad."
Another time when he was transporting POWs back to the American lines, he had not been given the latest password.
"The guy said he was going to open fire. He heard the Germans talking. I started cursing, and the American said it has to be a GI because I never heard the same curse word twice. They let us through," Pariso says.
Only once was he wounded, shot in the buttocks with a wooden bullet; but it was not enough to remove him rom the front lines.
At the end of the war, Pariso's uncanny luck continued. He took his back military pay and started betting against dice players while on the ship returning them to the States. By the time he arrived home, he says, he had won about $30,000 and had to hire another soldier to serve as his bodyguard.
Rather than squander the fortune, he used the money to help start a family business, Pariso Bros., which did excavation and trucking. With his wife, Beverly Bird Pariso, he later founded Carmen M. Pariso in 1970, and to this day many of the company's red dump trucks and tractors can be seen on area roadways going from one job to the next.
When asked if he considers himself a lucky man, Pariso laughs and says, "Oh, yeah, every time I wake up."

Marie is a very kind and trustful host. She welcomed us super friendly and showed us everything we should know. She also gave us some information about shopping, food and nightlife around this area. Marie always helped us when we had questions.
The room we were staying at was very small, but for a short stay absolute enough. To get to the bathroom and kitchen we had to go through the living room where Marie was sleeping, but it was okay because we felt very comfortable and Marie never minded when we had to pass the living room.
My friend and I would always book the accommodation again!
Nice place to stay for visiting Miami Beach
Close to the beach and Art Deco, nearby supermarket
The location of the room is excelent. The room is located in a block of apartments at ground floor. It is just 1 block from Lincoln Road and 5 blocks from Washington Avenue then Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive, very close to all shops, restaurants, clubs, travel agencies where you can book your tours including Key West, Bahamas, Everglades, Orlando, Miami tours and many sport activities. It is It is about 10 minutes walk to the 150 Airport Flyer bus stop, so you can travel to the airport for just $2.65 within 35 minuts. It is 13 minutes walk to the South Beach. From there you can go to Miami Downtown, Bayside, Jungle Island on a bus for just $2.25. The room is in Marie's apartment which she shares with her guest staying in her living room, giving the bedroom for the guest. You share the bathroom and kitchen too. You get shower and beach towels. You feel free to use all kitchen equipment and fridge too. Marie gives you lots of freedom so you can go out and back any time. She is flexible with check in and out hours too. She is also always ready to help and give you usefull information. Thank you, Marie, for plesent stay at your place.
Muy buena ubicación, Marie es muy agradable, perfecto para conocer Miami Beach.
Very good location, Marie is very nice, perfect for exploring Miami Beach
We had a very good welcoming. Marie is very nice, clean and friendly. We could go out and back like we wanted and anytime. Great location, near Lincoln Road and the beach. It was a pleasure!
First of all, my boyfriend and I had an awesome time in South Beach!!!
The location of the apartment is just perfect- the Lincoln Road Mall is right around the corner and the beach is a 15 min walk away!
All in all the apartment was just fine. The room is ok and big enough for two people! Marie was there all the time and you have to walk through the living room in order to go to the restroom.
But my boyfriend and I were out and about all the time-and for that it is great! Marie provided us with towels and beach towels and tried to help us when we had questions.
So if you are looking for a small place where you can leave your things and sleep- Go for it!
Marie was a wonderful amfitrion.
She is so nice and really clean.
And she have towels for bath and for the beaches. How cool was that surprise !!!
The place is on the best location in Miami beach.
Close to the beach, Lincoln rd, and the restaurants street market on Sunday. Definitely perfect

1 JAMIE MCMURRAY, Chevrolet
Team: Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates
WHERE HE STANDS: 15th, 20 points out of the top 10.
ALL-STAR RECORD: One top-10 finish in six starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: McMurray is another driver that needs to finish in the top two in the Sprint Showdown to qualify for the All-Star race. But he also is looking at the Showdown "as a bit of test for our team for the 600 the following week. That's not to say we aren't going to race hard and try to make the transfer to the 'main event.' We just feel we can accomplish a lot of goals in the Showdown."
LOOKING BACK: McMurray rallied in the final 60 laps to finish 16th at Darlington. "We had a tough time with the handling of the car tonight," said McMurray. "I wish we could have seen a few more cautions earlier to make adjustments on the car, but our guys worked hard on this McDonald's Chevy and we caught a few breaks there in the end to get back on the lead lap and bring home a 16th-place finish."
ETC.: McMurray calls this weekend "a real fun one for the fans. The new format for the All-Star race is really going to add to their excitement. It is more of a winner-take-all deal than it has even been with a driver having a chance at winning an extra million dollars if he can sweep all five segments."
17 RICKY STENHOUSEJR., Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 16th, 33 points out of the top 10.
ALL-STAR RECORD: As a rookie on the Sprint Cup Series, Stenhouse will need to finish in the top two in the Sprint Showdown to qualify for the All-Star race or win the fan vote.
LOOKING AHEAD: Stenhouse said, "I feel confident that we can race our number 17 Best Buy Ford into the All-Star race, but if not we have another chance by winning the fan vote. We tested at Charlotte earlier this season so I feel we learned a lot that will be beneficial to our organization the next two weekends."
LOOKING BACK: Stenhouse finished 18th in his first Darlington race. "Well I earned my Darlington stripe," said Stenhouse. "Our Zest Ford was just too tight overall. We couldn't turn in the corner to give us the drive off (the corner) we needed. I'm very proud of the 17 team because we fought all day. We will take a solid 18th-place finish here at the track known as 'Too Tough to Tame'."
ETC.: Stenhouse and Danica Patrick, his girlfriend, are expected to be among the vote getters that will determine the final spot in the All-Star Race. Stenhouse is quick to take every opportunity to ask his fans to boost his chances of winning the last starting position. "If you haven't voted, go vote at BestBuy.com/Racing," said Stenhouse. "You can vote right up to Saturday."
39 RYAN NEWMAN, Chevrolet
Team: Stewart-Haas Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 17th, 39 points out of the top 10.
ALL-STAR RECORD: Won the race in his rookie season (2002). Overall has one win and seven top-10 finishes in 11 starts including two 10th-places finishes in the last two years.
LOOKING AHEAD: Newman said, "When push comes to shove in the All-Star Race, you do what you have to do to win. This race is about the glory and the big prize ($1,000,000). There are no points on the line, so the way I see it, you want to either win it or bring back the steering wheel in your hands, knowing you did everything you could to be the best of the best that night."
LOOKING BACK: As Newman said, "that was a really good comeback by our Quicken Loans team. Our race car was loose pretty much all night until that last run. Matt (Borland, crew chief) and the guys kept working on it. They didn't give up and we ended up with a top-10 finish (tenth). I'm really proud of how hard these guys battled tonight."
ETC.: Newman continues to express his unhappiness with cars becoming airborne, especially at Daytona and Talladega. "My issue has and always has been because I seem to be the reciprocate of what airborne disease we have in NASCAR," said Newman. "Either someone lands on me or I land on somebody. It's happened three times I think in the last eight or nine (restrictor-plate) races. We've proven it's not safe for the fans. I said that in part of my interview (at Talladega earlier this month). It's frustrating and I think I've voiced my frustration very fairly. I took a pretty high road."
78 KURT BUSCH, Chevrolet
Team: Furniture Row Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 18th, 53 points out of the top 10. Gained two spots last week.
ALL-STAR RECORD: One win and six top-10 finishes including an eighth last year.

|Electron-State Hybridization in Heavy-Fermion Systems
Heavy-fermion systems are characterized by electrons with extremely large effective masses. The corresponding heavy-electron "quasiparticle" states are close to the Fermi energy and govern the thermodynamic, transport, and, in part, magnetic properties of these materials. In the case of rare-earth compounds, the quasiparticle states arise from the interactions (hybridization) of valence states with strongly localized 4f states. The question as to whether it is sufficient to treat the f states as localized impurities (single-impurity Anderson model) or whether the periodic crystal symmetry must be considered (periodic Anderson model) has been the subject of extensive debate. An international team of researchers from Germany, Ukraine, India, and the U.S. has performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies of the heavy-fermion system YbIr2Si2. The results show a strong momentum (directional) dependence of the hybridization that clearly rules out the single-impurity model in favor of the lattice model.
The 14 "rare-earth" elements following lanthanum in the periodic table are characterized by the successive filling of inner 4f states with electrons while the number of valence electrons remains almost constant. Since the 4f shell lies relatively close to the atomic core, the f orbitals do not contribute to chemical bonding and tend to retain their atomic-like properties in solids. This holds particularly for their high magnetic moments. As a consequence, a number of rare-earth compounds belong to the strongest hard magnetic species frequently used as permanent magnets and magnetic storage materials. However, at temperatures below a critical temperature (the Kondo temperature, TK), the 4f magnetic moments can be fully screened by the spins of itinerant electrons. This interaction retards the itinerant electrons and greatly increases their effective mass. Within the Anderson model, the phenomenon may be described by electron hopping between the states.
Most direct experimental insight into this problem may be expected from ARPES, which reflects the momentum-resolved response of the electronic system (i.e., electron energy dispersion). Expected features in the spectrum of a heavy-fermion system include a sharp virtual bound state (below TK, called the Kondo resonance) and narrow, 4f-derived quasiparticle bands near the Fermi level (EF). ARPES studies of heavy-fermion narrow-band compounds are only possible, however, under superior conditions with high-photon-flux experimental equipment providing ultrahigh energy (serveral meV) and angle resolution (a few tenths of a degree).
At ALS Beamline 10.0.1, ARPES spectra of YbIr2Si2 were taken at 20 K (below TK ~ 40 K) and 55-eV photon energy for different emission angles (Θ). The results demonstrate for the first time the strong angle (i.e., momentum) dependence of the hopping interactions in a heavy-fermion system. Two valence bands are visible, one of which intersects with the Yb 4f surface emission at 0.6-eV binding energy. In the region of the interaction, the 4f state splits into two components separated by up to 0.25 eV. At the same emission angles, further peaks appear at lower binding energy, including a signal in the region of the Kondo resonance immediately at EF.
Since a proper description of rare-earth systems by means of conventional approximations used in band structure theory is not possible because of strong Coulomb repulsions between the electrons in the relatively compact 4f shells, the data were analyzed within the framework of a simplified periodic Anderson model: starting from valence bands obtained from the calculation of an isostructural La/Ba compound and two Yb 4f states close to EF and at 0.6-eV binding energy, the 4f emission spectra were obtained within the periodic Anderson model assuming momentum conservation upon electron hopping. The calculated 4f ARPES spectra nicely reproduce all 4f characteristic features of the experiment. The results, obtained for the compound YbIr2Si2, can readily be used to understand the properties of other heavy-fermion systems in which momentum-dependent anisotropies may be of primary importance in future electronic and magnetic applications.

filled with bird song, ideal for those who, beside sea, prefer peace as well.
The studio is a part of our family house and it has a living room, bedroom and small kitchen combined into one room + bathroom in another (shower, loo and sink). TV, PC, internet connection,wi-fi, air conditioned.
It is situated on the ground floor. In front of studio there is a small terrace for morning coffee, but you are invited to use it all day long, if want. A free parking space is in shade.
The downtown is about 1,5 km., airport 5km., two small grocery shops in proximity. A few nice beaches are within 2-5 km. Luckily, since Pula is close to the southern peak of the peninsula, just don't go north and you'll end up somewhere at the beach anyway. You can use the city bus which often goes.
In the courtyard there are three cats and the cuddly dog who loves guests very much.
We (just the two of us and most of the time ) live in the same house so we're always available to help you if needed.

They just don't listen.
That must be what Gov. Andrew Cuomo is thinking these days after Erie County Democrats defied him once again last weekend. They elected Jeremy Zellner as new party chairman, and rejected Frank Max – the candidate of top Democrats close to the governor.
Make no mistake about it. For some reason many observers have yet to figure out, Erie County politics proved a top priority for Cuomo's inner circle. For more than a year they have tried to impose some semblance of order on that rambunctious bunch.
So far the Cuomo group has achieved about as much success as all the other governors before him. Zilch.
A bit of recent history underlies the frustration on the Capitol's second floor. Back in 2010, the nine western counties first proved troublesome by rejecting Cuomo – who creamed Republican Carl Paladino in virtually every other area of the state.
But Western New York? Nooooo.
His political operatives then concentrated on driving out then-Chairman Len Lenihan, whom they never considered part of the team. Lenihan in 2011 first said he would go, then said "T'heck with ya'" and stayed.
"Nice" parts of the state don't react that way to Andrew Cuomo.
Then the Cuomo pols suggested former Mayor Tony Masiello as the next Democratic chairman. His role as a lobbyist proved a major complication, and Erie County Dems ignored Albany again.
"How 'bout Cheektowaga Chairman Frank Max?" the Cuomo crew then asked. His supporters included Lt. Gov. Bob Duffy, with whom Max had developed a close relationship.
But last Saturday, Erie County Dems strayed from the Cuomo line once again. They convincingly voted for Zellner – the one-time right-hand man of official nemesis Lenihan. Ouch.
Cuomo recognized Western New York's unique dynamic in a January conversation with the editorial board of The Buffalo News. You could tell it weighs on his mind.
"I think the regional attraction of a candidate in Western New York should not be underestimated at all," he said of the Paladino factor. "Western New York feels it has not yet attracted the attention it deserves. It does not surprise me at all."
So Cuomo has trained lots of attention here. He promised a $1 billion economic development program for the Buffalo area while state agencies like the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority and Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp. prepare to develop the outer harbor.
But where the Cuomo team gets bogged down – where it just can't gain traction – is healing the rifts and factionalism in the Democratic Party. The goal: no weak spots anywhere in New York State for a governor some say is preparing for the national stage.
The consequences, however, include slogging around in the mud of local politics. Albany found itself dealing with things like the next elections commissioner, or how the situation would affect Mayor Byron Brown, or dealing with complaints about lack of local patronage.
In addition, the Cuomo team rallied around a candidate some observers called a "tough sell." Max sports a long history in the party. And history means something in fractious Erie County.
"It's mind-boggling to them that they can't get consensus here," said one observer. "Unlike Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton or anywhere else where the Democratic Party is a united front. They're troubled that's not the case here."
So the governor's politicos came in, muddied up the waters and left with achieving little. Lenihan is gone, but not without winning a string of recent victories and grinning over his shoulder as he leaves Democratic Headquarters.
Beyond that, a fractious and divided party – with Len Jr. at the helm – remains.
The intent was noble. The goal may prove impossible.

Garden & Gun, the Charleston-based lifestyle magazine, introduced its Made in the South competition four years ago. It was a way to "augment, applaud and support Southern artisans and craftsmen," according to Jessica Hundhausen Derrick, the magazine's vice president and brand development director.
If you go
WHAT: Garden & Gun Jubilee 2013
WHEN: Dec. 6-8
WHERE: Charles Towne Landing, 1500 Old Towne Road
COST: $85 for one-day pass; $150 for two-day pass; $225 for three-day pass (includes market preview and breakfast with the editors); $155 for Alabama Chanin workshop
MORE INFO: For tickets and more information, visit http:// gardenandgunjubilee.com.
Made in the South is more than a competition that recognizes a particular artisan. It's also a magazine feature, appearing in each of Garden & Gun's six annual issues and shining a spotlight on people throughout the region who pursue a certain down-home, manual, creative enterprise that results in limited productions of, say, furniture or cheese or knives.
And now Made in the South is a marketplace, too.
Garden & Gun is preparing for a three-day Jubilee event, scheduled for Dec. 6-8 at Charles Towne Landing. Jubilee 2013 is a natural extension of Made in the South, and an idea that first came up a couple of years ago, Derrick said.
It was realized this year thanks to the Charleston Convention and Visitor's Bureau, which wanted to sponsor an event in town that celebrates Southern tastes, culture, sport and crafts.
"We are committed to doing it annually in Charleston, Derrick said. "We hope it will become one of those signature events that people will put on their calendars."
More than 100 vendors will participate in the event, selling their goods, distributing samples and offering various demonstrations on site. Charles Towne Landing will play host to an antiques tent, trunk shows, a pig roast and sports shop.
The retailers, sportsmen and -women, food producers, chefs, musicians and others who will be in attendance were "curated," Derrick said, invited because of their reputations and backstories.
For this is not only about selling merchandise; this is about people and what they do. It's about the history of craft-making, the personal stories that drive artisans to make beautiful things. It is meant to contribute to the Southern narrative, to pay tribute to talent, perseverance and heritage.
"If someone comes and they purchase nothing, I want them to think they have had an incredible day," Derrick said. "Without the narrative, it basically is just about a bunch of stuff."
Natalie Chanin will be there. She runs Alabama Chanin, a "lifestyle company" started in 2006 that specializes in cotton clothing.
Chanin said her boutique store is "having a good moment." It's riding a wave of enthusiasm for artisanal products sourced and made in the region.
"Our company is about community and job revitalization and, on a deeper level, sustaining these crafts, this handiwork," she said.
The making of the textiles and the hand embroidery that decorates them isn't the only part of the process that qualifies as artisan. Producing the organic cotton crop itself requires the same sort of commitment and love, she said.
"Cotton has a long growing season, a lot of time where things can go wrong," Chanin said. "It's a real labor of love. There's an artistry to it."
As awareness is raised and consumers demand quality, sustainably produced goods, stores such as hers likely will grow and multiply, she said.
"We've reached an era of saturation, when we realize what machine manufacturing looks like."
Some of it's good, some of it's ugly, Chanin said. "Very slowly, very methodically, people are looking for a balance. The pendulum is swinging back. ... People are looking for answers. How can you manufacture on global scale but do it responsibly? Big corporations are starting to ask those questions."
At the little shop on Church Street called goat.sheep.cow, Trudi Wagner and Patty Cohen sell artisanal cheeses, charcuterie and a few bottles of small-production wine.
They will set up at the Jubilee and promote a couple of regional cheesemakers, Charleston Cheese House and Sequatchie Cove Creamery, located in Tennessee.
Wagner and Cohen have done some catering for Garden & Gun, and that helped lead to an invitation to join the Jubilee, Wagner said.
"We happily embraced the opportunity," she said.
The fromagerie is a result of a perceived retail void in Charleston, Wagner said. When they arrived from New York in 2009, there were plenty of wine shops and a couple of stores that sold good charcuterie, but quality cheese seemed to be in short supply, especially on the peninsula.
Now they are beating the drum for artisan producers.
"I think it's really catching on," Wagner said. "You see a lot more awareness of Southern cheese."
Because the South is warm, humid and buggy, it can be hard to run an effective creamery, especially one that produces cheese from cow's milk, she said. So Southern cheese tends to be made from goat's and sheep's milk.
Wagner said she's excited about the Jubilee and looks forward to mingling with Charleston producers and tastemakers, such as the Beer Exchange, Croghan's Jewel Box, Jack Rudy Cocktail Co., the Gin Joint and others.
"(Garden & Gun is) going to bring Made in the South to life. We're certainly in good company."
