Israeli Apology Resets Alliance With Turkey
Netanyahu's Contrition on 2010 Raid Offers U.S. Renewed Leverage in Mideast
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu apologized to Turkey's leader for a deadly 2010 raid on a Turkish ship, a leap toward improved ties between two U.S. allies that could strengthen Washington's hand in the Syrian crisis and in the push for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
The apology, in a diplomatic victory for President Barack Obama, paves the way for the restoration of normal relations between the two regional powers.

More on Obama's Mideast Trip
Relations broke apart after Israeli naval commandoes killed nine activists, eight of them Turkish and one Turkish-American, during the bungled raid on the Mavi Marmara as it tried to breach Israel's naval blockade of Gaza in May 2010.
Mr. Netanyahu offered his apology during a phone call to Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the final moments of Mr. Obama's three-day visit to Israel. It was a surprise outcome from a Mideast trip that was expected to yield few tangible accomplishments.
In his 30-minute phone call with Mr. Erdogan, Mr. Netanyahu apologized, pledged to pay compensation to the victims' families and to continue to ease restrictions on the movement of civilian goods into Gaza, according to a statement released by Mr. Netanyahu's office.
"In light of Israel's investigation into the incident, which pointed to a number of operational mistakes, the prime minister expressed Israel's apology to the Turkish people for any mistakes that might have led to the loss of life or injury," the statement said.
The two leaders agreed to normalize ties between the two countries, including the dispatch of ambassadors, according to Turkish and Israeli officials. Turkey agreed to cancel legal actions taken against Israeli soldiers in Turkish courts, according to the officials.
The rapprochement between the two countries could boost Ankara's bid to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, if it results in the pooling of Israel's technology and intelligence capabilities with Turkey's robust military presence on the Syrian border, analysts said.
It also marks the latest sign that Turkey's policy is diverging from Iran. Ankara had courted Tehran as part of a policy to embrace neighbors and project regional power, but the two governments are now at odds over Syria and Iraq.
In addition, any hopes of securing a Mideast peace deal will depend in part on the willingness of Turkey to lend material and political support to the Palestinians and entice Israel into making concessions.
"When the triangle between the U.S., Israel and Turkey is working together, it is something that no one can ignore," said Alon Liel, a former Israeli envoy to Turkey who has been briefed on Israel-Turkey reconciliation talks. "These are the main military and economic powers in the region and the only stable countries."
The final negotiations to seal the apology took place during Mr. Obama's visit to Israel, the president said Friday. "During my visit it appeared the timing was good for that conversation to take place," Mr. Obama said at a news conference in Amman. "I discussed it with Mr. Netanyahu and both of us agreed the moment was right."
Turkey and Israel were long close allies, participating in joint military exercises together, sharing intelligence, and exchanging weapons systems.
Relations between Ankara and Jerusalem started to wither in January 2009 after a public spat between Mr. Erdogan and Israeli President Shimon Peres during a panel at the Davos World Economic Forum in Switzerland. Mr. Erdogan stormed offstage in protest against Israel's December 2008 assault on the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. Mr. Erdogan had been in the middle of trying to broker a peace deal between Israel and Syria.
Ties worsened on May 31, 2010, when Israeli naval commandos staged the deadly raid on the Mavi Marmara in international waters. In response, Turkey expelled Israel's ambassador in Ankara and suspended military ties.
Statement From Netanyahu's Office
Israel long refused to issue the public apology Turkey demanded to restore ties, and numerous efforts to patch up relations fell short.
Last year, Turkish and Israeli representatives met in Geneva and hashed out a formula to end their squabble, according to Israeli officials. But before Mr. Netanyahu put the agreement to a cabinet vote, Turkey put four former Israeli military commanders on trial in absentia for the killings. Mr. Netanyahu never put the proposal to the vote.
U.S., Turkish and Israeli officials said the reconciliation on Friday was the product of weeks of feverish U.S. diplomacy.
"We knew there wasn't going to be a major breakthrough in the Palestinian issue" during Mr. Obama's visit to Israel, a senior U.S. official said. "But we felt this was one potentially achievable goal in this time frame."
Statement From Erdogan's Office
For several weeks, U.S. diplomats shuttled between the Israelis and the Turks with different formulas about what the leaders would say to each other.
An early goodwill gesture came in February when Israel supplied advanced electronic warfare systems to the Turkish Air Force, the first military equipment transfer between the two countries since the botched raid.
Mr. Obama broached the issue with Mr. Netanyahu during their bilateral meeting on Wednesday in Jerusalem, including at dinner that night. Both sides were pleased with the tone of the talks. "That just really seemed to give the prime minister the confidence to step up and do a hard thing," the senior U.S. official said. After the dinner, U.S. diplomats felt confident that Mr. Netanyahu would make the apology.
At several points during the day on Thursday, the sides tinkered with the final language in Mr. Netanyahu's statement, prompting some U.S. officials to question whether the agreement would be executed as planned.
"In the end, once they had both made the strategic decision that this is worth doing, worth taking on whatever political costs come with it, then it's just a question of finding just the right nuanced language to execute it," the U.S. official said.
A final agreement with Mr. Netanyahu was reached late on Thursday.
On Friday, on the tarmac of Israel's Ben Gurion Airport, just before Mr. Obama boarded Air Force One to leave for Jordan, Mr. Netanyahu ducked into a trailer. There he placed the call to Mr. Erdogan, with Mr. Obama present. It was the first call between the two leaders since Mr. Netanyahu came to power in 2009.

Next PSG Manager Betting Odds and Preview
French Champions to turn to AVB?14th June 2013 / Lee A Jackson
Tottenham may have a tough time hanging on to Andre Villas-Boas if the bookmakers are to be listened to. The Portuguese manager has been installed as 2/1 joint favourite with online bookmaker Skybet to be the next manager of French side Paris St Germain. With no official words to back up any of these rumours, Andre Villas-Boas is allegedly on the shortlist that the Paris club have drawn up.
This has all come to light with current manager Carlo Ancelotti looking certain to be leaving the French Champions and going to take over from Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid. Villas-Boas has looked settled in his role at White Hart Lane but his name has been linked with a move across the English Channel. Reports have been made that PSG will be ready to offer £40 million to AVB to take over as new boss.
But Andre Villas-Boas is not the only Premier League manager in the running to make the switch over to the French Capital. What people could be seeing as more value is the fall out at Swansea City leading Michael Laudrup to jump ship and head to continental Europe. Laudrup is in at 2/1 as well to replace Carlo Ancelotti (although the Italian hasn't left yet). An alleged disagreement with the club, a falling out with his agent, it doesn't paint a picture of solidity at the Liberty Stadium.
But moving on to someone who is out of work, former Man City boss Roberto Mancini, who was replaced this week by Manuel Pellegrini, is trading at 3/1 with online bookmaker Skybet to get back into employment. He could take a bit of favouritism for many, as he will be handling a big club with big stars and a lot of spending money. But will his failures in the Champions League be the thing to hold him back from getting the job?
There have been plenty of other big names floating around the Next PSG Manager Betting as well,with Laurent Blanc, Leonardo and Jupp Heynckes all on offer at around 5/1 to open up with, but all of which have drifted. Paris St Germain have been pretty dominant in the market to win the French title next season, being offered at odds on favourites at 1-2 with online bookmaker Skybet.
Next PSG Manager Betting Odds at Online Bookmaker SkyBet
Andre Villas-Boas, Michael Laudrup 2/1, Roberto Mancini 3/1, Laurent Blanc 12/1, Claude Makelele 14/1, Guus Hiddink 20/1, Leonardo 20/1

Thinking of going for your doctorate? Prepare for a balancing act of studies, work and personal life. You can go full-time or part-time, quickly or slowly, starting earlier or later in your career. In a panel at the NASPA 2013 conference in Orlando, current or recent women doctoral students agreed there's no one right way to do it.
• Dr. Sonja Ardoin, moderator, completed a PhD in May at North Carolina State University. In July she became director of student leadership and engagement at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington.
• Vicki Dobiyanski begins parttime doctoral studies for an EdD this summer at Florida State University, where she is the director of student government.
• Amber Garrison Duncan is a doctoral candidate in higher education pursuing a PhD at the University of Oregon.
• Megan Janasiewicz is a part-time PhD student at the University of Georgia while working as director of sorority and fraternity life at Emory University GA.
• Mary Medina is a full-time PhD student at North Carolina State University, where she is a grad assistant in multicultural student affairs.
• Dr. Claudia Mercado completed an EdD at the University of Kansas in August 2012. In April she became associate vice chancellor for enrollment management at the City Colleges of Chicago.
• Jingjing (Kate) Zhang is pursuing a PhD at North Carolina State University and serves as director of research for the National Initiative for Leadership and Institutional Effectiveness.
Two more sent written comments to participate virtually. Melissa Shehane and Daphne Wells are doctoral students at Texas A&M University and Morgan State University respectively.
When to begin
"There's no right time to get a doctoral degree. You have to figure out the best time for you individually," Medina told WIHE. Hearing other women's stories can be helpful, but only you can decide what fits your life and career ambitions.
Some of the panelists took exploratory courses before committing to work toward a degree. One went straight from finishing her master's degree to starting her doctoral studies; for the rest, the gap ranged from two to six years.
"You can work full time and take classes," Dobiyanski told WIHE. She and Janasiewicz chose the part-time path for their doctoral journeys, while the rest decided to study full-time. Ardoin fast-tracked her coursework into a two-year time frame; Garrison Duncan started eight years ago and is finishing this year.
The timing will never be right. Women graduate students— especially those with children and/or partners— face bigger challenges with work-life balance than do their male peers. If you wait for the perfect time, you will never get your doctorate.
One panelist had her "aha!" moment about three years ago: Her work situation gave her a supportive supervisor and the option to take courses tuition-free. Another decided to go ahead while she was still single.
Speaking of babies
For Shehane, the suggestion to pursue a doctorate came from mentors who advised that she would meet a glass ceiling without one. "I knew that I wanted to try to start having children and that balancing numerous courses with an infant would be challenging. I realized, for me, it would be best to begin courses before starting our family," she wrote.
One of her professors told her to give birth to her dissertation before giving birth to a child. She disagrees strongly. "If you want to start a family, do not put the decision to have children on the back burner!" she advises. She wouldn't trade in this time with her child for any career achievement, she said.
When is the best time to start a family relative to getting your doctorate? "There is no best time, only a worst time," one said. Not many full-time women doctoral students start a family during their degree program, despite flexible hours and biological clocks.
Cost is one issue. Fellowships and assistantships don't pay much. Few programs offer doctoral students maternity leave and even fewer provide dependent care for a child.
But the biggest disincentive to childbearing is the fear of being viewed differently by faculty advisors or future employers. Gender bias persists; some people who admire dads as good family men assume that moms are not serious about their careers. It can help if your major professor either has young children herself or did when she was getting a doctorate.
Ultimately you will have to define your priorities, hopes and goals. For too many women who postponed family while they establishing their careers and finishing their degrees, getting pregnant is harder with the approach of menopause. There is never a perfect time to start a program or a family.
Where to get your degree
Choosing the right program depends on many personal as well as educational factors, including:
• Academics. Who are the faculty and what are their research areas? What concentrations does the program offer? Is the research orientation qualitative or quantitative, and which do you prefer? If you have a dissertation topic in mind, be sure the faculty will let you do it. No matter how good a school's reputation, the program needs to match your interests to be a good fit.
Do the places you are considering attending offer a PhD or an EdD, and which degree do you want? Their advice: Get an EdD if you plan to continue as a practitioner and a PhD if you want to do research. If the school you're considering offers both degrees, check out the difference in required coursework; it may be negligible. "I'm going to get a PhD and be a bad-ass adjunct," one quipped. Dr. Sonja Ardoin Not many full-time women doctoral students start a family during their degree program, despite flexible hours and biological clocks.
• Money. Look at the financial package. Can you study tuition-free at the university where you already work, or will your program of choice offer you a fellowship or assistantship? If one school offers the best deal but another suits you better, ask the second place if they will match your first offer.
• Work/school/life. How will your doctoral studies dovetail with the rest of your life? Are you placebound because of job, family or both? Do you want to study part-time or full-time, and which will the program accommodate?
For Wells the other big factor besides money was location. "Having studied and worked in very white cities for the past 12 years where I constantly felt like 'the other,' I was ready to be in an environment where I was affirmed in my identity as a black woman," she wrote of her decision to go to Morgan State, a historically black university (HBCU) in Baltimore MD.
"Not all doctoral programs are created equal. It's important to think about what you want and need in a program and find a program that will match you," Medina said. "The components that are important to you will help you find a program that's your best fit."
Coursework and dissertation
Coursework involves a lot of reading, which eats up time. If you haven't gotten a master's degree, you may need more practice in rigorous writing. "Allnighters do not exist in the doctorate. Do a little each night," one advised. "If you have only an hour to study, that's better than nothing."
Shehane found it much easier to study in large chunks of time. Early mornings were most productive for her. Whatever study schedule fits your life, try to strike a balance between meeting actual program demands and placing unrealistic demands on yourself. So long as you do well enough in classes to move on to the dissertation phase, nobody will care whether or not you earned straight As.
To conserve time and maintain focus, they recommend writing something related to your dissertation topic in every single class. One panelist built the first three chapters of her dissertation that way. If you haven't chosen your topic, use classes to explore various options.
At last it is time to write your dissertation. "Write and write and write. Don't worry whether it's good," one said. Find out what way you write best, in large chunks or 15-minute intervals.
Hang in there
"I am so tired of school! The sooner I get finished with this dissertation, the sooner I can be done with school and get back to doing things school has kept me from," Wells wrote. "Seeing my friends and peers complete their degrees provides constant motivation that I too can do this and will do this!"
Fewer than 60% of all entering PhD students hold a doctorate ten years later, according to a Council of Graduate Schools estimate. Common causes of attrition include lack of preparation (cited most by faculty), personal problems (cited most by students) or a poor fit between the student and the program. It is not a matter of weeding out weaker students; academic measures such as grades or GRE scores are much the same for those who quit and those who persist.
A factor in the high attrition rates of PhD programs compared to business or law degrees is that a PhD generally takes longer to earn. That allows more time for changes in personal life, relationships or career goals to intervene. Minority students leave at a higher rate than white students, and women drop out at a higher rate than men.
You will need to find sources of support, on and off campus. "At some point you will need someone to give you that extra little push," Medina said. Most doctoral students have been tempted to walk away at some point.
• Support: faculty and peers. Research assistants or teaching assistants are more likely to stay in a doctoral program, not just because they have funding but because they interact with peers and faculty. By contrast, students with fellowships have funding but are no more likely than average to complete their degrees.
Retention rates are higher in the sciences, where professors admit individual doctoral students to their lab and work closely with them. Dropout rates are higher in the humanities and social sciences, where many programs start out with large lecture classes and students have little or no faculty contact for the first year or two.
"Find an advocate with the faculty by meeting with faculty members and getting to know them if you are able to," Dobiyanski advised. Get to know your fellow graduate students too, including some a year or two ahead of you who can help you to navigate the system. When you step out of the workforce to pursue a degree full time, you lose your professional support system. Be intentional about creating a new one.
• Support: family and friends. Shehane relied heavily on talks with friends, especially those who were juggling full-time work and families. Her parents were also very supportive; they watched the baby during the weekends of her comprehensive exams and proposal defense.
Still, she found it difficult to relax her high self-expectations. "As a full-time employee and 2/3 through my program— and new mom, I had to let go at times and realize that my work may not be completely perfect, which was difficult to swallow, but something a colleague who was further along shared with me. I really needed to hear that," she wrote.
Hang in there, and invest in building support systems for the times that your interest falters. "Completing a doctoral degree can be challenging; and the sooner you realize you'll need people around you that can be a source of support, the sooner it'll seem more manageable," Medina said.

Wellington: Ross Taylor will be available for selection for New Zealand's first Test against South Africa, starting on March 7 in Dunedin.
Taylor, who has missed the entire South Africa series so far, has fully recovered from a calf injury he suffered during New Zealand's tour of Zimbabwe.
"We are pleased with Ross's improvement and he will have fully recovered from the calf injury in time to lead the team against South Africa," said New Zealand Cricket physiotherapist Paul Close.
But things are not that rosy for middle-order batsman Dean Brownlie, who was impressive in the Tests against Australia a few months back.
"After discussions with Dean and the medical specialists it is clear he will not have recovered in time for him to be considered for the first test," said Close.
Brownlie injured a finger in his left hand while facing Aussie paceman Mitchell Starc.
"With the injured finger being on his left hand he is struggling to grip the bat without pain. He is progressing, and has started hitting balls, but needs more time to fully heal before he's ready for the rigours of international cricket."
New Zeland lost the three-match Twenty20 series 2-1, and are trailing 1-0 in the ongoing one day international series.

Sandy Creek principal: Parents welcome to bring concerns to school administration
Parents, students and community members, as the 2012-13 school year comes to a close and we look forward to the summer, which will bring relaxation and enjoyment with family and friends, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our many supporters and community leaders. We appreciate your commitment and involvement in our school.
As I reflect on our many accomplishments, we continue to have reason to celebrate. Newsweek Magazine named Sandy Creek High School as one of America's Best High Schools in 2013. We were chosen because we have proven to be one of the most effective high schools in turning out college-ready graduates. Sandy Creek is an excellent school, and I am proud of the accomplishments that our staff and students have achieved.
Our 2012 SAT average score increased 28 points from the previous year. Additionally, we were named a 2013 Advanced Placement Honor School and received three awards. We were recognized as a Georgia AP Access and Support School because of the number of minority students earning a score of three or higher on the exam. We were also named an AP STEM School and an AP STEM Achievement School. These awards were issued as a result of our students taking the test in at least two AP math courses and two AP science courses.
Our students have continued to soar in various areas during the 2012-13 school year. For example, multiple students were recognized for their work in Science Olympiad, three students will be participating in the Governors Honors program, and the Mock Trial Team won the region title. Our students have also done well in the Foreign Language Spoken competition, Skills USA and the Auto Skills competition. Our DECA students qualified for national competition, and we have HOSA state officers and regional winners. We also have a Model UN outstanding delegate winner. The students at Sandy Creek are able to effectively compete with students across the state.
Our school is filled with hard-working students who excel in all areas. Like most schools in America today, Sandy Creek is not perfect. Occasionally issues arise and students may not make the best choices. At that point, the teachers and administration work to assist students in making better choices. We encourage students to be responsible and behave appropriately. The administration works diligently to address inappropriate behavior that may occur at school.
The majority of our parents who have concerns bring them to the administration so that they may be addressed. I hope that process will continue as we welcome parents to our school so they may see the great things that are occurring. My door is always open to parents and we also welcome the feedback they provide. Sandy Creek is continuing to thrive and our students have bright futures as they prepare to advance to the next phase of their lives.
All of our success is because of the strong tradition of excellence at Sandy Creek High School. We have a great staff, awesome students, involved parents and a very supportive community.
Thank you,
Darrell Evans, Ed.D., principal
Sandy Creek High School
Tyrone, Ga.

HP Envy Sleekbook 6-1126sa

Reviews for the HP Envy Sleekbook 6-1126sa
Source: Techradar
Overall, despite the obvious performance anxiety that this machine suffers from, the HP Envy Sleekbook 6-1126sa is a system that anyone looking to buy a budget laptop should look at. Its large screen and decent audio subsystem make it great for enjoying music and movies, while the comfortable keyboard and strong battery life make it a joy to use for more mundane tasks. Admittedly we would have preferred more raw power for our money, and the lack of real gaming performance does annoy, but in almost every other respect this is a tempting computer. It's worth considering - or at least it is until Intel upsets the market once again when it release its next-generation processors, and their powerful graphics cores.

On Tuesday, April 28, 2009, the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF) hosted a special information session entitled "Scientific Higher Education in Africa" for African embassy representatives at its headquarters office in Arlington, VA. The briefing highlighted CRDF's successful model for the development of research and education centers and the benefit of a similar program in Africa.
President & CEO Cathleen Campbell delivered opening remarks with a presentation outlining CRDF's capabilities. Senior Technical Advisor Dr. Marilyn Pifer presented an in-depth overview of CRDF's higher education achievements, and the benefits and potential challenges of applying CRDF programs in Africa. In attendance were representatives of several African embassies in Washington, D.C.
After the formal presentations, there was a lively exchange of ideas with the embassy representatives. The general consensus at the end of the briefing was that Africa could greatly benefit from the establishment of integrated research and education centers to address local scientific and technical challenges. CRDF not only hopes to continue the dialogue started by the embassy briefing, but also to form collaborative partnerships in Africa by adapting our scientific higher education programs to fit the specific needs of individual countries.

SALEM - Former Timberlanes owner and general manager Melissa Snively-Pallard faces a seven-count indictment issued by a federal grand jury in Cleveland on Thursday.
According to Steven M. Dettelbach, United States attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, she is charged with failing to report and pay employment taxes owed by the corporation she previously owned.
The indictment alleges that Snively-Pallard, 33, currently of New Springfield, was the owner, president, chief executive officer and general manager of Timberlanes and that for the seven calendar quarters, between 2006 and 2007, she failed to report and pay to the Internal Revenue Service federal income taxes and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes that Timberlanes withheld from its employees' wages, with a combined total of approximately $93,927.
Snively ran the restaurant and motel for several years in the early to mid-2000s. The business, which has been closed for several years, was purchased in a sheriff's auction this past July. Federal tax liens of $33,945, $602,809 and $348,346 were released from the property's record for that transaction.
The case was assigned to Judge Patricia Gaughan in Cleveland. If convicted she faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
An IRS spokesperson said an initial appearance by the defendant is expected soon.
Last March, Snively's father, Wade C. Snively, 58, of Canton, was charged in the Northern District of Ohio federal court with three counts of filing false income tax returns, two counts of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct and impede the due administration of the tax laws, and three counts of bankruptcy-related offenses.
The first three counts allege Snively made and subscribed joint income tax returns for 2005 through 2007 that were false in a number of regards. The fourth count alleges Snively corruptly endeavored to obstruct and impede the tax laws while the fifth count, related to the purchase of Timberlanes from Roy Paparodis by Snively, alleges a separate effort to obstruct and impede the tax laws by filing a false document with the IRS to retaliate against a person who successfully obtained a $330,475.10 monetary judgment against Snively and a trust controlled by Snively.
The indictment refers to the person retaliated against only as "RP" throughout the filing.
It states that RP brought the lawsuit to recover damages from Snively's and the trust's default on a note payable to RP in connection with RP's sale of a restaurant/inn business (Timberlanes Inc.) to the trust.
During RP's lawsuit against Snively and the trust, Snively falsely asserted that RP had indemnified him against RP's claim on the note.
After losing the lawsuit in December 2005, Snively prepared a false IRS Form 1099-C, Cancellation of Debt, falsely claiming that RP had $330,475 in debt forgiveness income in 2005.
The indictment said Snively sent a copy of the form to RP in January 2006, advising that he would be delivering it to the IRS.
After RP successfully collected on the judgment in August 2006, Snively submitted the false Form 1099-C to the IRS in September 2006, thereby seeking to subject RP to potential financial and other costs of an unwarranted IRS examination, investigation, tax assessment, or other adverse action with respect to that purported income.
The three bankruptcy-related counts charge Snively with making a false statement in a personal Chapter 7 bankruptcy he filed in 2006, concealing property from his creditors and bankruptcy trustee in that proceeding, and executing a scheme to defraud the creditors and trustee.
The IRS said Snively was originally indicted on March 28, 2012 but in May a superseding indictment was handed down with two additional counts of making false statements, and providing false information that supported fake documents submitted to the IRS.
Among the creditors he allegedly attempted to defraud was the Timberlanes seller, RP.
A principal aspect of the bankruptcy charges was Snively's effort to conceal his interest in and control over a company known as All American Health Care.

The new law would require all individuals or entities that sell scrap metal to obtain a permit from the city. The permit would include photo identification. The city would also create a website with local scrap sale information that can be monitored by the public, City Attorney Peter Bade said at a news conference today.
"Anyone who wants to review what's going into scrap metal sales will be able to log on," Bade said. "It will afford a level of transparency that hasn't previously existed."
Churches, homes and area businesses have all fallen victim to a rash of scrap metal theft in Flint, prompting a crackdown that led to the city partnering with the Citizens Nuisance Task Force community group in researching ways to prevent the illegal activity.
The Flint ordinance change is part of the task force's recommended reforms. Bade said the group "played a huge role" in the effort to cut down on theft.
City manhole covers, construction equipment and air conditioning units are just some of the materials that have been targeted by thieves, officials have said.
One of the most notable changes would make the sale of aluminum siding in Flint a crime.
Bade noted that outlawing aluminum siding sales would likely create waves in the scrapping community, but said, "The destruction of scrap metal theft in our community is so great it was best" to implement the law.
The target date for the ordinance to go into effect is Dec. 1 in order to give the city time to develop the website and inform scrap dealers of the changes to the law, Bade said.
He said the city is also reaching out to neighboring communities, asking them to pass the same ordinance changes to prevent thieves who steal in Flint from selling their stolen materials across city limits.
"It undermines our efforts to stop this problem," he said.
Scrap sellers would have to purchase a temporary permit or an annual permit from the city, depending on how often they sell scrap material. The amount of the permit fee has not yet been determined, he said.
The ordinance would require Flint scrap yards to match a seller's permit with another form of photo identification before making any exchange, Bade said. Scrap yards would also be required to post information on scrap sales on the new website, which will be accessible to the public.
The website and permit-making equipment will be paid for out of $20,000 in fees donated to the task force and kept in trust at United Way after the Flint City Council authorized enforcement action against two scrap metal dealers accused of accepting stolen materials, Bade said.

Sometimes it's all too easy to listen to the general critical consensus and avoid a movie that has a reputation of being bad or a bit of a misfire. Often times, where there's smoke, there's fire, and the movie lives down to its bad reviews. But occasionally I watch a film and am surprised by the negative reaction. Case in point is Legend of the Lost, a visually sumptuous adventure film that kept me captivated throughout. Despite my lifelong love of John Wayne movies, I had relegated this one, sight unseen, to the Duke's small pile of "duds," along with things like The Conqueror and Jet Pilot. I should have known better.
It was only after recently acquiring the DVD from friend and film scholar, Stuart Galbraith IV, that I decided to give it a "what the hell" spin, and I'm very glad I did. Contrary to what seems to be the generally-held opinion, it's actually quite a good film, and gives Wayne an edgier than usual role, while still allowing him to stay true to the sort of rugged, manly character type he did so well.
Fascinated by the righteous Bonnard, she follows the two men into the desert. Joe wants to send her back to Timbuktu, reckoning she's nothing but trouble and having no wish to drag her along, but Bonnard agrees to take Dita with them, and since he's paying the bills, Joe reluctantly acquiesces. He's skeptical of Bonnard's piety and do-gooder ways (he plans to use the treasure to open a hospital for the poor and needy), but Joe grows to grudgingly respect the man's courage and tenacity. Similarly, he begins to look at Dita in a new light. The rest of the film is taken up with pure desert survival adventure, intermingled with the drama of a burgeoning romantic triangle. The trio eventually do make it to an ancient Roman city, find the promised treasure, and learn the fate of Bonnard's missing father...but will they manage to make it back to civilization alive?
Above all else, Legend of the Lost is stunning to look at. Henry Hathaway, always a sure hand at capturing action and landscape on film, directs with more artistry than usual, and, greatly abetted by famed Technicolor cinematographer Jack Cardiff, brings a painterly eye to the film's use of light, shadow and composition. I enjoy all kinds of adventure films, even ones done on the studio backlot, but nothing does the trick like real, honest-to-goodness, feel the scorching heat on the sand dunes, outdoor filmmaking. Legend of the Lost knocks it out of the park on this score; the production made the most of extensive location filming in Libya, some of it in the real ruined city of Leptis Magna, in Khoms. And the ethereal score, by A.F. Lavagnino, adds an eerie, mystical quality that matches the empty, panoramic desert vistas.
Robert Presnell's original script was reportedly hashed over to such an extent (by many hands, but only Ben Hecht was credited) that the final film bore little resemblance to it; what ended up on screen isn't outstandingly witty or deep, but it gets the job done well enough, and the actors have sufficient skill to paper over any cracks. This is basically a three-hander, and the leads all do fine work. The Italian Brazzi (one year away from a flirtation with Hollywood stardom in South Pacific) manages to make his saintly character sympathetic and interesting. Loren was 23 at the time of filming, and at the peak of her exotic, voluptuous beauty, appropriately earthy and fiery here. At 50, Wayne is weathered but otherwise fit as a fiddle, looking lean and mean and ready to wrestle a lion to the sand. Though he's playing a more jaded and coarse character than normal, his natural decency and strength shine through and his unique brand of brusque charm holds everything together, clearly navigating the film over its occasional bumps into melodramatic territory.
According to Scott Eyman's recent biography, John Wayne: The Life and Legend, the shoot in Libya was hellish. Wayne hinted at some of the difficulties in a letter to the Hollywood Reporter:
"We are working at an oasis in the middle of the Sahara desert, 400 air miles from Tripoli. This little village is completely isolated from the rest of the world; no radio, no telephone; no modern facilities. We bunk in tents. In the day it's sunburn hot, at sundown the temperature drops to around 30 degrees.
We move out of this village each morning at five in four and six wheel vehicles equipped with special desert tires, all flown in, and we move around until Henry Hathaway finds a background he wants and we start to work; finishing with that, we dash off to another location. It's bitter cold when we leave and just as cold when we return to our base of operations around 9 at night...I would not have missed this location for anything, but when I leave it, I'm certain that I would never want to make it again." (1)
Making the film was hard on everybody, including Wayne, who also seriously injured his foot in a fall during the shoot. Legendary himself as one tough SOB, Henry Hathaway was one of those directors fond of screaming at everyone to get his way, though Wayne must have got along with him well enough, as they made plenty of movies together throughout his career. Wayne's company, Batjac, partially financed the film, and he was sure that Sophia Loren's sex appeal would translate to big box office, but:
"...according to Henry Hathaway, Loren was a 'one dimensional actress. It's just the beauty. She has no depth. Never did have, never will have.' Wayne had little to do with her during the shooting. Loren was engaged to Carlo Ponti at the time, but Duke suspected her of having an affair with Rossano Brazzi, a married man. The two were inseparable off camera. Guided by the prevailing double standard, Wayne got along well with Brazzi, but he had little use for two-timing women, and he kept his distance from Loren." (2)
Most of those involved with the picture, including Wayne and Hathaway - the latter dubbed the film "a fiasco" (3) - must have wondered whether all the behind-the-scenes travails were worth it. While it didn't set the box office on fire, or earn much critical praise upon release, time has been kind to Legend of the Lost, and I think it's a fine film, of the kind they couldn't, and wouldn't, make anymore. It's no lost classic, but it's a beautifully-shot, sturdy adventure movie...and hey, it's John Wayne in Indiana Jones mode, discovering a lost city in the African desert! That's something you don't see every day, and it's more than good enough for me.
DVD Note: MGM put Legend of the Lost on DVD back in 2002, and it's a handsome 2:35: 1 transfer. That disc is pretty expensive now, and it's such a good-looking movie that it certainly deserves a proper Blu-Ray release, but its status as a "lesser" Wayne film probably makes that unlikely.

Sometimes I encounter challenges in my Road Warrior travels. Recently, canceled flights moved a group of us toward another form of transportation, reminiscent of the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles. During the ride between cities, everyone in the vehicle shared their occupation, family information, etc. When it was my turn, I wondered, should I admit I am an economist, or should the line be that I am a traveling serial killer? Well, of course, in the company of strangers, I divulged that I was an economist by occupation. Then the group challenged me to be a one-sentence financial and economic advisor. Here is the advice I shared.
What are your best pieces of financial advice?
Well, this is the end of the journey, as we are pulling in to the Teepee, i.e. Denver international Airport, at 4:45 a.m.

It is kind of telescope (like the one in Wind Waker) that you can attach to your bow and arrows so you can use it like a sniper or something. You buy it in Malo's store in Kakariko Village and it costs 50 rupees.
Not sure how far in the game you need to be so it appears in the store, but I think you are far enough =P

DOT to politicians: Signs not welcome on freeways
Small-town politicians don't raise the kind of money to buy broadcast advertisements, so they use signs to get out their names.
But last week the state Department of Transportation warned candidates and their supporters to keep local highways beautiful by keeping their campaign signs away.
And as one political sign maker said, he's noticed candidates spending less on campaign materials, candidates may want to look after the placement.
Campaign signs are prohibited in the right-of-way areas next to highways, and those on private property visible from state roads are regulated. A rule of thumb is signs are prohibited inside the fences and utility poles that run along highways, said Pat O'Leary, outdoor advertising specialist for the department. The intent goes back to the 1950s, the start of the country's interstate system, when leaders believed that because taxpayers were building the roads, they were entitled to view the country's natural beauty without being inundated by advertisements, O'Leary said. States that enforce the federal rules are entitled to a significantly larger share of federal highway money.
"So it's a good deal," he said.
And with last year's presidential and gubernatorial campaign, and the proliferation of signs, the department is pushing a message of highway beautification.
O'Leary said a few here and there can lead to a cluster, and he's been hearing complaints.
"This year, again, we're seeing a lot of signs," he said.
Posting the signs in the right-of-way is a misdemeanor under state law, theoretically punishable with fines and jail time, O'Leary said. He was quick to note no one has been prosecuted for the crime.
"Once informed what they are doing is violating state law they stop doing it," he said.
Most of the time crews simply remove the signs when they have time, but O'Leary said the department doesn't want candidates to lose signs, which can be expensive.
He urges candidates and supporters to ask private property owners beside highways for permission to post them.
Signs on private property that are visible to state highways must be no larger than 32-square feet and must be removed 10 days after election day.
For a couple hundred of them, the basic yard sign costs about $4, said Jerry LaCrosse, operations manager for Thompson Signs in Lacey. Buy up to 1,000 and the price drops to about $3.
"This year has been really, really slow," he said of campaign sign orders, attributing the slack in business to the economy. "They are watching where they are spending money."

Even in the beginning weeks of class, Rose was instinctively drawn to write from fairytales. She knew they were powerful, she was attracted to them, and when she shared her writing with the class we were immediately able to experience the ways these myths, these archetypes, affected her. They beckoned her, they told her story.
As she wrote autobiographical poetry through a common mythic language of fairytales, Rose discovered a profound connection between her own story and some of our oldest stories. She found a relationship between her individual experience and an archetypal human experience. She identified the importance of self-knowledge for understanding who "We" are in a grander sense.
She also came to know that in many ways we are the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. To paraphrase Rose's compelling thesis, sometimes the story is a lie, sometimes it is brutally honest, but it will always change with our shifting perception.

In Brief: Detroit strikes 2nd deal with retirees
Detroit strikes 2nd deal with its other retirees
DETROIT --The city of Detroit reached tentative agreements to preserve pensions for retired police officers and firefighters but cut monthly payments for other former employees, key deals that could accelerate the largest public bankruptcy in U.S. history, officials said Tuesday.
Negotiators for the general pension fund, which pays benefits to retirees who didn't work in public safety, agreed to a 4.5 percent cut and the elimination of cost-of-living payments, fund spokeswoman Tina Bassett said.
Former Rothstein CFO charged in $1.2B fraud
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- The former chief financial officer of convicted Ponzi schemer Scott Rothstein's law firm has been charged with conspiracy in the $1.2 billion fraud.
South Florida federal prosecutors filed a court document Wednesday charging Irene Shannon in the case. The document contends that Shannon oversaw much of the accounting and banking at the Rothstein Rosenfeldt Adler law firm and was well aware of the Ponzi scheme.
Rothstein is serving a 50-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to orchestrating the scam, which involved investments in nonexistent legal settlements.
Legal costs hurt Bank of America this quarter
CHARLOTTE, N.C -- Bank of America says it swung to a loss in the first quarter, hurt by $6 billion in legal expenses.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank reported a loss applicable to common shareholders of $514 million. That's compares with earnings of $1.11 billion a year earlier.
The loss amounted to 5 cents a share. That missed expectations of analysts polled by FactSet, who had expected earnings of 5 cents a share. A year ago, the bank earned 10 cents a share.
UK unemployment keeps falling
LONDON -- Britain's unemployment rate has fallen below 7 percent for the first time in five years, with earnings growth narrowly outstripping inflation for the first time since 2010.
The Office for National Statistics said Wednesday that 2.24 million people were unemployed in December through February, a rate of 6.9 percent. That compares with 7.2 percent in the previous quarter.
Average earnings grew by 1.7 percent in January and February, exceeding the rate of inflation, which was 1.6 percent at last count, in March. Stripping out bonuses, however, earnings growth was a more modest 1.4 percent.
Notable tax case has Germans fessing up
BERLIN -- The high-profile tax evasion trial against former Bayern Munich president Uli Hoeness has prompted a surge in the number of Germans turning themselves in to authorities for failing to properly declare their taxes.
Munich daily Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported Wednesday that some 13,000 sought to escape prosecution by submitting amended tax returns during the first three months of the year. The paper says the figure is three times higher than during the same period in 2013.
Ukraine crisis hurts Russia's economy
MOSCOW -- Russia's economy slowed sharply at the start of the year as the crisis in Ukraine spooked investors into pulling money out of the country. But with Russian President Vladimir Putin still enjoying high popularity ratings, the economic damage is not yet likely to soften his politics in the region.
Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said Wednesday the economy expanded just 0.8 percent in the first quarter from a year earlier.

A very real concern amongst those living in the 21st century is that modern medical technology has given doctors a God-like ability to prolong life. Sadly, the quality of this life can be unacceptable due to mental or physical incapacitation. The Living Will or Advance Directive is a document which addresses these concerns. It is written by a person while mentally competent, and it expresses directions and personal preferences for treatment in the event of incapacitation. It is intended to give patients some measure of control over future medical treatment should they be unable to express treatment preferences at the time. This book is a detailed exploration of the Living Will, emphasising the importance of a consultative process with one's doctor in drawing it up and thereafter regularly monitoring it. The numerous benefits of the Living Will are highlighted and readers are advised about potential pitfalls – and how to guard against them.

The first 28 runs took 76, the next 22 just 23, and after an early cup of tea at 2 p.m., Sachin Tendulkar looked to be on auto pilot. But just when the fans sank deeper into their chairs, there was a snap sound. Tendulkar c Prior b Anderson 76.
A back-foot punch through the covers by Tendulkar gives you the "Aah! The touch is back" feeling. So it did today until that should-I-or-should-I-not drive off a hostile James Anderson resulted in an edge and into the mitt of a diving Matt Prior. The head went down and the feet changed direction towards the dressing room.
The day that began with three-quarters empty Eden Gardens had more buzz by evening in anticipation of a Tendulkar hundred, after the initial grind started taking shape of dominance by tea with Tendulkar on 46*.
It was a composed innings but important in two contexts - rescuing India from a dodgy 136 for 4 and getting the lost confidence back for Tendulkar himself. The composure was evident in the 99 balls he took to reach fifty - Tendulkar's first since the Sydney Test.
But Tendulkar began like a batsman out of sorts. Nervous prods and edges falling short kept everyone on tenterhooks - until that back-foot punch settled nerves. And relief was writ large on the face when that clip off Steven Finn crossed the boundary to bring up his 66th half-century.
With Yuvraj Singh, Tendulkar's level of comfort grew. But Yuvraj frittered away his good start to a soft dismissal against Graeme Swann. A vital partnership broken, Alastair Cook asked Anderson to go after Tendulkar, and he responded by nailing the big fish.
At 76 and 16 overs left in the day, Tendulkar, it seems, got caught between aggression and caution. He has always been better off with the former option, but when iffy, some scratch their head, some bite nails and some edge deliveries. Tendulkar's fate lay in an edge.
But cricket is not just about hundreds. Tendulkar's 76 and Gautam Gambhir's 60 could prove vital in the context of this match. But for Tendulkar it means a bit more, for it tells that the master is not done yet.

The Microsoft Developer Division hires students for a summer internship each year, and these interns were given a special chance last week to test their skills at building applications. It was called the Microsoft Intern Hack-a-thon, and these students formed teams and got the chance to build an application that targeted Windows 8, Windows Phone 7, Kinect, or the Azure platform.
At the end of the 2-day competition, these applications were demoed by the interns, then judged and voted on by those in attendance, including a few Microsoft execs. Competition was pretty intense, as was the eating at an intern barbecue - and in the end there were 4 teams who took winning memories back to school with them.
Let's take a look at what they built.......
Oops, something didn't work.
so... they ate interns at a BBQ and built nothing?
These are the kind of videos from On10 that I've been missing here.
