This international conference, organized to mark the 40th anniversary of the coup d'état which overthrew the Popular Unity government and was followed by seventeen years of military dictatorship in Chile, aims to reappraise September 11, 1973 in its transnational dimension and to measure the impact that this event had beyond the borders of Chile, articulating the short time of the end of 1973, the middle-time of the 1970s and the long time over the last four decades.
A first approach will look at the Popular Unity government itself and its international resonance, which is the first explanation for the huge echo that the coup of September 11 received throughout the world. Why have the coalition formed around the Chilean Socialist Party and Salvador Allende in December 1969, his rise to power in September 1970 and the implementation of the three-year long "Chilean way to socialism" had such a lasting impact on the international left? More generally, to what extent did the Popular Unity government represent one of the key events of the Cold War and help make Chile one of the symbolic nodes of confrontation between East and West?
A second approach will seek to analyze the political reception of September 11, 1973 in Europe and the Americas - and in other parts of the world - and the continuity that this event constitutes in the history of the second half of the 20th century. On the one hand, after the outrage felt at the overthrow of a democratically-elected government, or the satisfaction resulting from the disappearance of the "second Cuba", the tragic end of the Popular Unity government constituted a matrix for a profound reorganisation of leftist movements in the West, which has remained largely disregarded by historiography. On the other hand, the establishment of the Chilean military dictatorship was soon followed by the implementation of neoliberal policies which, in the space of two decades, were to spread throughout the world and put an end to the dominance of the Keynesian model that had prevailed since the end of World War II.
A final line of investigation will be the identification of echoes of September 11, 1973 in the international cultural production of the past forty years. How have cinema, literature, theatre and music contributed to the construction and perpetuation of opposing memories of the coup? What meaning can be attached to the multiple interpretations and appropriations of an event which, in many respects, cannot be regarded as belonging only to Chilean history?
Apart from these three main angles of approach that will structure the conference, another major problematic issue also resides in the identification of the different vectors that allowed the reception and international media treatment of 11 September 1973 over the last four decades. What role should be assigned, in particular, to the diaspora of Chilean exiles, to media coverage of the coup and the various ways in which it has been commemorated?
Proposals (15-20 lines) accompanied by a brief curriculum vitae should be sent by April 30, 2013 to the following address: email@example.com. The organizing committee of the conference will make its decisions known in the second half of May.
The official languages of the conference will be French, Spanish and English.

Music Industry's $675K Judgment Against File-Sharing College Student Reduced as Unconstitutionally Excessive
In a closely-watched federal lawsuit brought by several major recording companies, U.S. District Judge Nancy Gertner has reduced a damage award against a defendant who illegally downloaded 30 songs when he was in college. The case is Sony BMG Music Entertainment v. Tenenbaum, 07cv11446-NG (D. Mass. July 9, 2010).
Judge Gertner's opinion begins: "This copyright case raises the question of whether the Constitution's Due Process Clause is violated by a jury's award of $675,000 in statutory damages against an individual who reaped no pecuniary reward from his infringement and whose individual infringing acts caused the plaintiffs minimal harm. I hold that it is." Here's more from the opinion's introduction:
Joel Tenenbaum ("Tenenbaum"), the defendant in this action, was accused of using filesharing software to download and distribute thirty copyrighted songs belonging to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs are a group of the country's biggest recording companies. Their lawsuit against Tenenbaum is one of thousands that they have brought against file sharers throughout the country. Tenenbaum, like many of the defendants in these suits, was an undergraduate when his file-sharing was detected.
Although the plaintiffs presented evidence that Tenenbaum illegally downloaded and shared thousands of recordings, the trial focused on his infringement of the plaintiffs' copyrights in thirty songs. As to these songs, Tenenbaum's liability for infringement was not seriously in question. . . . The only questions for the jury were whether Tenenbaum's infringements were willful and what amount of damages was appropriate. . . . The jury did find that Tenenbaum willfully infringed the plaintiffs' copyrights and imposed damages of $22,500 per song, yielding a total award of $675,000.
. . .
I conclude that the jury's award of $675,000 in statutory damages for Tenenbaum's infringement of thirty copyrighted works is unconstitutionally excessive. This award is far greater than necessary to serve the government's legitimate interests in compensating copyright owners and deterring infringement. In fact, it bears no meaningful relationship to these objectives. . . . It cannot withstand scrutiny under the Due Process Clause.
For the reasons I discuss below, I reduce the jury's award to $2,250 per infringed work, three times the statutory minimum, for a total award of $67,500. Significantly, this amount is more than I might have awarded in my independent judgment. But the task of determining the appropriate damages award in this case fell to the jury, not the Court. I have merely reduced the award to the greatest amount that the Constitution will permit given the facts of this case.

Rated 4 out of 5�by HubbardGirl8952 Happy Customer I purchased this swimsuit online, ordered a few different sizes, and returned what didn't fit. I ordered the hyper green color and the color is vibrant and stunning! One neat thing about the suit is that it dries quickly, almost as soon as you get out of the pool the water is wicked away. One drawback, the length of the suit feels tight, so maybe I have a longer than average torso, or just not used to a one piece suit. Overall, I use it for lap swim and it works. July 29, 2015

Carroll Dunham Bio
About The Artist
The artist Carroll Dunham began his painting career working on plywood after having discovered its potential in the early 1980s. Coaxing his forms to adapt to the natural textures and designs of each panel, Dunham would continue to paint wildly organic, colorful, and cartoon-like organisms as his career matured. However, his vibrant, animated forms are far from childlike, with such provocative motifs as weapons and sexual organs—sometimes with their distinctions blurred—poised for action.
Dunham has long resisted prevailing stylistic trends and consequently carved out a space for American painters to explore the possibilities of blending both abstraction and figuration. Dunham's recent hybrid of landscape and figuration demonstrate his continued desire to transcend aesthetic categories. The scenarios involving nudes in these recent paintings also reflect his ability to convey bold, perhaps unpleasant truths through superficially clumsy, unlikely subjects.

It's been 294 days since Columbian walked off the field in Fremont, after its season came to an end following a regional semifinal loss to Avon.
That's a long time to wait with a bad taste in your mouth.
Tonight the wait finally comes to an end.
Nearly 10 months of offseason programs, conditioning and practices culminate with tonight's season opener as the Tornadoes welcome Clyde into Frost-Kalnow Stadium.
"You get to this point every year, it's been a long time," Columbian coach Brian Colatruglio said. "The way we run our camp days in July, we go the last couple weeks of July, so we've been going at it here for over a month now. It's time to play a game. I think our guys are getting anxious to get out there and have it count for real."
Columbian has downed Clyde in the last two season openers, and also came away from a 2010 playoff game against the Fliers victorious.
But while the jerseys and helmets lining up across from them may be familiar to the Tornadoes, the team may not be. Clyde coach Marc Gibson left the program in April after eight seasons to take the head coaching job at Maumee - which will be coming to Tiffin in Week 2.
Ryan Carter is the new man in charge of the Fliers, and Colatruglio says he'll bring a whole new style to prepare for.
"Offensively they've completely overhauled what they're doing," Colatruglio said. "They've gone to a no-huddle, up-tempo spread offense. It's about as far from what they've were doing as it possibly could be. Defensively, their defensive coordinator is the same so there's a little more familiarity with what they're doing defensively. But offensively, it's a whole new system.
"The quarterback (Tim Hoppe), looks like he's solid. He can make plays running and throwing. I think they're doing a good job of trying to get their best players the ball and it's not just one tailback, it's a bunch of different guys that are going to get it."
Colatruglio says, though, he expects the ball to be in Hoppe's hands a lot tonight as Clyde's version of the spread likely will keep the ball on the ground.
"It's a little more run [version of the spread]. The quarterback is a really good runner, but they're going to be balanced," Colatruglio said. "They're going to do a little of both, but I think they're going to want to get the ball in his hands, let him make decisions. Sometimes when things break down, that's when he's most dangerous. He's going to take off and scramble. It's got to be a real emphasis of ours, trying to keep him contained and not let him get out of the pocket."
Colatruglio, though, does like what he's seen from his own running game through the team's scrimmages.
"We're physical up front. We're going have success running the ball on just about anybody," he said. "We haven't made a ton of changes. But we also have a bunch of guys that haven't played before. You come out of the scrimmages and you think you have a pretty good feel, but until you see them on Friday night when it's a real game, under the lights, you're never real sure."
Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Trojan on the Android platform. Now, a second Trojan has
made its way to Android.

a media player is very unlikely to need."

They don't say their laws should be imposed on all countries or all continents . Apple just says "in our country , on our cities , there are rules, this is what they are. If you want to live in a place with rules and cops to enforce them then come to our place, if you don't like that set up then there are plenty of alternatives. The choice is for the citizen to make.

After a 20-minute boat ride - on an old-style sternwheeler - two miles down the magnificent Ohio River from Parkersburg, you are transported 200 years back in time. Blennerhassett Island is one of the most famous islands on any river in the country. Owned by the DuPont Corporation, the island is leased to the West Virginia Department of Natural Resources and operated as a Historical State Park.
The focal point of the island is the Blennerhassett Mansion. Built in 1800 by Irish immigrants Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett, the mansion was one of the most beautiful and extravagant of its time. It was the center of the social world in the then Northwest Territory as the young couple used their island paradise to draw guests by the thousands. The mansion was built in the curved, Palladian style similar to Mount Vernon. It comprises three buildings connected by covered walkways, the main two-story house and two outbuildings, a kitchen on one side and Harman's study, laboratory and wine cellar on the other.
In addition to the elegant estate Harman built on the island, the island also holds claim to another place in history because Aaron Burr, a former Vice President, visited the island three times and convinced Blennerhassett to bankroll his ill-fated plan to conquer the Spanish Southwest (now Texas) and form a new country with himself as its head of state. When word of their plan reached President Thomas Jefferson, he had Burr and Blennerhassett arrested in 1806 and charged with treason. After a six-month trial, Burr was acquitted and both men were released. During his incarceration, Blennerhassett's island plantation was occupied by the Virginia Militia. They ransacked the home searching for weapons, ammunition, food and liquor. After his release, Harman never returned to the island. Instead, he and his family moved to Mississippi where he tried his hand at growing cotton. While he was successful for a time, the War of 1812 and a cotton embargo nearly ruined him.

Penny Canfield from the Randolph County Senior Center helps to pilot a sternwheel boat to historic Blennerhassett Island near Parkersburg. Several people from the center recently took a trip to the famed site.
The formal dining room, above, as well as the master bedroom and kitchen in the Blennerhassett mansion near Parkersburg has been reconstructed with period furniture.
The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1911. The island was being used to grow hemp, used in making rope and its believed a large supply, stored in Harman's former wine cellar under his study, caught fire. The original foundation was found by archaeologist in 1973. The current structure was built on that foundation and, through historical and archaeological research, accurately recreates the grandeur that was the Blennerhassett home. Prior to the fire that destroyed the original mansion, many of the furnishings had been sold or given away and have since been donated or purchased for inclusion in the current structure. Along with the original pieces, the interior is furnished with other furnishings of the era.
While touring the mansion, knowledgeable docents dressed in period costumes are on hand to offer a look at the life of the time and answer questions. One of the original furnishings on display was Margaret's pianoforte (an early baby grand piano). The docent related that Margaret was an accomplished musician and frequently entertained her guests by playing it. In the kitchen, the docent gave a description of the many cooking utensils sitting in front of the great fireplace. Reflector ovens for cooking meat and pies, various kettles, even a device for toasting bread are all there. Other rooms in the mansion include the formal dining room where the table is set with fine china, silver and crystal, just waiting for the dinner guests to arrive. Both the master bedroom and guest bedrooms and the children's nursery are also recreated.
While it is the focal point, the mansion is not the only thing the island has to offer. It is a haven for wildlife including whitetail deer, foxes, raccoons and over 200 species of birds. Once gone from the area due to the effects of the pesticide DDT, osprey were successfully re-introduced to the area through the combined efforts of DuPont and state and federal agencies. During the the ride over, the captain of the sternwheeler Island Belle informed us to be on the lookout for the bald eagles that now call the area home.
No visit to the island would be complete without taking the horse drawn wagon ride. During the trip around part of the park, the guide pointed other features, including a grove of black walnut trees with a value of over $1 million, the site of a former broom factory, and the remains of the Neale house, a brick structure named after a former owner of the island. Among its notable guest was Walt Whitman who stayed there in 1849 while traveling to New Orleans for a newspaper job. While there, he wrote a poem about the island, "Isle of La Belle Riviere." Other notable visitors included George Rogers Clark, Henry Clay and Johnny Appleseed.
Also on the island is the Putnam-Houser house, built in 1802 across the river in Belpre, Ohio. In 1986, the house was moved by barge to the island and is now fully restored. The house is open for tours on weekends and while unfurnished, it features "viewing windows" cut into the interior walls to allow visitors to see some of the construction techniques used when it was built.
The island offers many walking trails as well as bicycle rentals and there is a snack bar that offers a selection of sandwiches and beverages. There are picnic tables scattered around the grounds along with amble grassy areas that are perfect for spreading out a blanket or quilt and having a family picnic. While the only access to the island is by river boat, interestingly, there is a massive four-lane bridge that crosses above the island. Carrying U.S. Route 50 traffic across the mighty Ohio, the 4,000-feet span was constructed to be inconspicuous from the mansion site. Even the paint scheme was required to blend into the surrounding area. With the exception of the mansion's second floor, the structures are all handicapped accessible and they even have a golf cart to transport guests to and from the boat landing.
The history of Blennerhassett Island extends back to the Ice Age hunters of 13,000 years ago. Native American tribes occupied the island continuously until the 1780s when white settlers began flocking to the Mid-Ohio Valley. The Blennerhassett Museum of Regional History in Parkersburg has an extensive collection of artifacts and tools of these ancient island residents. They also feature a video that tells the tumultuous story of the Blennerhassetts and their life on the island paradise.
About two hours from Elkins and two hundred years from present day, Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park is a great, family-oriented, destination that's relaxing, fun, and educational. If you have an extra day or two, the Parkersburg area offers a number of other attractions that are rich in the history that makes West Virginia truly Almost Heaven.

Five cyclones, starting with Alex at the end of June and ending with Richard (Belize into extreme northeast Honduras), affected this region, leaving more than $7 billion (USD) in damage and dozens of lives lost. Karl (September) was likely the most damaging wind storm, a tightly wrapped Category 3 hurricane which rolled through Veracruz, México. Rainfall from Alex and Tropical Depression Number 2 likely added up to more than 50 inches in the northern Sierra Madre and foothills which drain into the Rio Grande, causing massive flooding along unprotected portions of the river from Laredo to Rio Grande City and Los Ebanos, and requiring full use of the Lower Rio Grande Flood Control Project for the first time since 1988.
In addition to Alex and Tropical Depression Number 2, fast developing and fast moving Tropical Storm Hermine made a direct hit on Cameron and Willacy Counties, leaving millions of dollars in wind damage behind.
Above: General steering patterns for the peak of the 2010 Hurricane Season.
The following table summarizes the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season.
Orange and bold rows indicate cyclones that directly impacted the Rio Grande Valley. Dates listed indicate the time the cyclone was deemed tropical, including initial depression stage. Total preliminary ACE was 159.6, which is 66.1 points above the 1951 to 2010 average of 93.5.

Denver Broncos Beat the Titans
It is becoming really hard to escape the feeling that the Denver Broncos could be a good team if they could find a running game and return to the kind of offensive line performance that the Broncos were known for during the Shanahan era. Instead, the line was harrassed and bullied for most of the day and I don't remember the last time the Broncos' running attack was quite this bad. When you rush for only 20 yards on 19 carries, you don't exactly deserve the win. If that sounds bad to you (and it should), then consider that the leading rusher for the Broncos was Kyle Orton with his three rushes for 11 yards--more than double the totals of either Laurence Maroney or Correll Buckhalter.
Neither Maroney nor Buckhalter managed to average more than half a yard per carry. The running backs deserve some of the blame for this, but most of it has to go to an offensive line that just isn't doing its job.
And that failure extends beyond the running game, too. Orton was harried by an aggressive Titans team most of the day. Sacked six times, rushed on almost every drop, he still managed to throw for 341 yards and a couple touchdowns. His interception--the Broncos' lone turnover of the day--was a bad decision. Still, when the running game is so completely useless, the Broncos have needed to take some chances in passing downfield to move the sticks.
What had to be most hopeful for Broncos fans, though, was the way the team played in most of the other phases of the game. Orton threw well and racked up yards, continuing to prove that not only is he a better QB than most people expected, but that this receiving corps is tremendously talented. In fact, a few dropped, very catchable balls would have padded those stats significantly.
On defense, the Broncos are playing far better than I expected. Martindale's unit only gave up a few big plays, but held Chris Johnson to just 53 yards, less than three yards per carry, and no plays longer than eight yards. They also managed to keep Vince Young to just 173 yards, although his numbers would have looked significantly better if it weren't for a handful of drops toward the end of the game. When he most needed help, his receivers left him hanging.
The special teams were mostly solid with good kickoffs, punts, and placekicking, but return coverage remains a concern. Marc Mariani's 98 yard return was beautiful, and, boy, does that kid have some speed in those legs; but the coverage team was beat big by the blockers on the return. They can and should do better.
Still, there are reasons to feel some hope for this team. There is a deep pool of talent at some of the skill positions and the defense is showing some toughness. Kyle Orton is earning his contract extension and the passing attack is tremendous. Unless they can figure out the running game and start getting a better performance from the offensive line, they don't have much of a shot at a return to the playoffs.
Brave prediction of the day: the Peyton Hillis trade will haunt McD for a long time. Not only has Hillis been playing really well, but his 322 yards rushing is more than the Broncos have as a team on the year. In a week where Maroney dropped a few catchable balls, at least one of which should have gone for a huge, drive-extending game, it's also worth noting that Hillis has sixteen catches for 94 yards on the season.

Hope Solo has become synonymous with the United States women's soccer team, but in 2012 it will be forward Alex Morgan who leads the show and becomes the face of the team.
One is a goalie, the other a striker.
They're both of equal importance—arguably the two most important positions in the game of soccer.
While Solo defends the goal—blocking shots from the opposition—Morgan is tasked with attacking the net on the other side of the field.
The pair are two of the most beloved members on the squad.
Here's why 2012 will be Morgan's year to headline.

Last week, we discussed how important it is for businesses to grab on to one of the most exciting marketing opportunities in America.
Racing is fast, fun and compelling week to week. Even with NASCAR having a of couple off years, they still put 61,000- to 120,000-plus people in the stands, close to capacity at each track, rivaling every other sport. I would even argue that they have not suffered any real loss in fan base but overbuilt the seating capacity of the major tracks. Millions more tune in on TV.
None of that excitement goes away when you go to local tracks. It's still hard to win a race. You have some outsized egos, a few hard chargers, old veterans and edgy rookies. Asphalt racing can sometimes lead to a certain predictability that goes away when you're on dirt. On dirt, you can lead for 24 laps, miss one mark coming out of a turn and end up getting not much more than tow money.
But what is the driver's responsibility to the sponsors? Unseen to most of us, NASCAR drivers spend one to two days a week doing work for sponsors. Race days and other times at the track they're making appearances at sponsor hospitality tents. Imagine how busy Jimmie Johnson is at Charlotte when Lowe's or Kobalt Tools is on scene.
But now I'll hear about how you're not a full-time driver, you have a day job and kids, you're out in your garage working on the car and more. And still you race. But today is a different world. You can quibble about set-ups, stagger tires and shocks all day, but to get the prize money worth talking about, you need an engine program, unless you're driving for beers and bragging rights in U-Cars. And to a limit, dollars equate into horsepower. And sponsors equate to dollars. Now that's 2 plus 2.
What got you started in racing? Often a relative raced. You hear second- and third-generation drivers announced at the track all the time. But racing isn't like stepping into the family roofing business. Anyone can hump shingles up a ladder or run a nail gun. Racing is desire plus talent. If driving a car was the whole thing, there would be bleachers and concession stands on the side of Interstate 81. Racing is a special talent that many want, but few have. I've said it before, but to quote Tom Hanks in the movie "A League Of Their Own," if it was easy, everyone would do it.
What that means is you and your race car have an aura, and that is what you need to sell to sponsors. And you need to sell what the sponsor sells. It is not enough to wrangle some money out of some store owner and call it a day. There has been enough of that in the past that makes it harder than ever to find sponsors. Yes, it takes time to do, but set up a date with your sponsor, tow your car to the store, put on the fire suit and do a personal appearance. Become conversant with what they sell, and try and direct the parents sticking their heads in the window of the car to the shelves inside the store.
Want another quick way to help your sponsor and yourself? Sure your car will swing by the front stretch 20, 30 or 40 times a race night, but why should people look for your car as opposed to anyone else? Take a few minutes each night and cross the track and go up into the stands and introduce yourself. How hard is it to go up to some young kids sitting with their parents, put on an easy smile and say, "Hi, I'm Tommy Racedriver, and I hope you'll root for my No. 75 Bob's Widgets Limited Late Model." They know who you are, which car you're driving and who your sponsor is. Now that was easy.
As a side note, I feel that has become something of a lost art in racing and why track owners are always looking for back gate money. Whether the track owner has it scheduled or not, maybe you guys and girls in each division should just figure it out amongst yourselves and pick a night and all cross the track and work the stands some. Speedway owners who oppose, please raise your hands. Thought so.
Also, extremely critical, if you have a website or some other portal through Facebook, or other means, keep it updated. Why? Because if it isn't why should fans follow you? Did they miss a race? Now they can catch up and show friends. Have merchandise? No? Time to get some and have it on your site.
Why is doing this important to you as a racer? The fans. Those people in the dark, on nights hot or cold, past the light's glare and catch fence, old or young, knowing and new; fans watching earnestly as 24 supremely confident drivers, like you, in their cars come roaring out of a high horsepower dust storm in Turn 4 almost touching, throttles hammered down, an ungodly roar of fuel scorched screaming pistons exploding through the headers, tires stretching and straining, frames torquing unmercifully, bearing hard for all their worth down the front stretch, green flag in the air. Are they rooting for you?
Remember, if you don't have dirt on ya, it wasn't a race.

"People of the Falklands want to remain British" and they will be defended
UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on Thursday no one should doubt his determination to keep the Falkland Islands British as he dismissed President Cristina Fernández announced complaint to the United Nations.
"The people of the Islands want to stay British and the UK will defend the territory properly to make sure they do so", Cameron told reporters in Stockholm.
Likewise, Cameron warned that "Argentina will find when she goes to the United Nations that it is an absolutely key part of the United Nations Charter to support self determination", and added, "What we've said is absolutely clear and right under the United Nations, as long as the people of the Falkland Islands want to retain that status, we will make sure that they do."
The statements came after Cristina Fernández said on Tuesday that she will lodge a complaint with the UN Security Council over the UK's "militarization" of the southern South Atlantic and the Islands.
The move follows Britain's announcement to send one of its newest destroyers, HMS Dauntless, on the South Atlantic patrol to take over from an older ship HMS Montrose. Prince William is also in the Falklands as helicopter pilot of the Search and Rescue service, a routine rotation of RAF SAR crews.
"We will defend the Falkland Islands properly," Cameron said. "I think that is very simply put, very straightforward and shouldn't leave anybody in any doubt about our support for the Islands, for their people and for the status they themselves want to maintain".
On Wednesday a Foreign Office spokesperson denied any militarization of the South Atlantic arguing that "our defensive posture in the Falklands remains unchanged, though we remain firmly committed to the defence and security of the Falklands".
It added that "the people of the Falkland Islands are British out of choice. They are free to determine their own future, and there will be no negotiations with Argentina on sovereignty unless the Islanders wish it".
Further more the FCO spokesperson underlined that "the UK has no doubt about our sovereignty over the Falklands and the principle of self-determination, as set out in the UN Charter, underlies our position".
Finally, "the UN action is a matter for Argentina. The Falklands is already discussed annually in the C24 Committee".
From the Falklands Dick Sawle, elected member of the Legislative Assembly said he welcomed Argentina's plan to protest to the UN.
"The reason why I welcome that is that the United Nations ought to look at the decisions it has made in the past" which favour self-determination. "I think that the British government is absolutely right to back that fundamental right that we have to self-determination, and this is the cornerstone of the UN of course."
He added that Falkland Islanders "do not wish to be taken over in any way, shape or form by Argentina. That is absolutely fundamental".
MLA Mike Summers also pointed out that Argentina are very welcome to take the "militarization" issue to the UN Security Council and General Assembly but they should be aware that "as guardians of the principle of right to self-determination, this issue would also be raised in the context of any discussion regarding the Falkland Islands".
Finally if Cristina Fernandez would sincerely like to "give peace a chance", a phrase she has used to urge PM Cameron to the negotiation table, "she should consider removing the punitive measures she has put in place in an attempt to force Islanders to bend to the will of her government".

Audrey Hepburn's Hat Fashion2011-09-09 4 Share Tweet
The photos below show Audrey Hepburn wearing some remarkable and glamorous head covering. They were shot by Howell Conant and appeared in the 1950s in Bazaar Magazine.
Audrey Hepburn, Hollywood legend and fashion icon of the fifties and the sixties, especially known for her film role as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's wasn't only fashionable in her films, but also in real life. Audrey Hepburn wore simple but classy dresses and accessories like scarves and headpieces such as large floppy hats, pill box hats and headbands which emphasized her beautiful face.
The following photos were shot by famous photographer Howell Conant, fashion photographer and best known for his picture of Grace Kelly, and were published in 1956 in Bazaar Magazine. They feature Audrey Hepburn wearing some fashionable hats. However, this partly extremely extraordinary head covering can't distract from her wonderful face with the most beautiful eyes like a deer in history, can they?

At the moment, social media is one of the fastest and most effective ways of keeping in touch with friends, organising events and keeping up with all the latest celebrity (and mortal!) gossip. Sites such as Facebook and Twitter have become such an addictive part of everyday life, it is sometimes easy to forget that they can also have a certain educational value.
However, this has not gone unnoticed by www.constructionmanagementsdegree.org, a construction management information site targeted at schools and universities. They have recently composed an extensive list of the most informative Twitter feeds for architecture students, and World Architecture News has topped the list, stealing the number one spot from other online architecture resources News Arch and Architectural Record.

If you have more passengers to haul, you need the capability to get them around. So should you entrust in the Subaru's much-talked about AWD system? Or the Hyundai that supplies more standard horsepower than some of the fiercest competition in its class? Read on to see who wins when it comes down to Subaru vs Hyundai.
Subaru vs Hyundai
The base Subaru Outback is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine which achieves up to 24 MPG HWY. A 6-cylinder engine is available in the top trim 3.6R Limited Outback. Despite having similar fuel economy to the Santa Fe, the Outback only puts forth 173 horsepower.
The tech options are endless inside the new Santa Fe. Hyundai's Blue Link Telematics System is standard on the Santa Fe. In addition to Bluetooth® capabilities, Blue Link also allows you to start your car remotely, locate a gas station or even call for help in a crucial situation.
The Subaru Outback is also equipped with standard Bluetooth®. However, Subaru has no system as comprehensive as Hyundai's Blue Link. In fact, Subaru's technology offerings are somewhat limited for the Outback. A voice-activated GPS navigation system is available, but at an added cost.
Recently redesigned just last model year, the new Santa Fe has received praise from critics regarding its bold new exterior styling. The 2014 Santa Fe features an aggressive front grille, wide athletic stance and smooth, aerodynamic styling which help to improve MPG.
Although exterior styling is subjective, most critics agree that the appearance of the Subaru Outback is an acquired taste. Although the Outback has some nice features like chrome trim and a roof spoiler, it is definitely a wagon and sits lower than the crossover/SUV Santa Fe.
Which ride wins your vote? The Hyundai Santa Fe or the Subaru Outback? Let us know in the comments below:

Disseminated candidiasis has become an important infection, particularly in immunocompromised and postoperative patients. Although serologic tests may, in some settings, facilitate a premortem diagnosis, the disease is usually diagnosed by comprehensive clinical evaluation. Detection of the relatively newly recognized peripheral manifestations of candidemia may be vital to early diagnosis: endophthalmitis, osteomyelitis, arthritis, myocarditis, meningitis, and macronodular skin lesions. Studies in patients with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis and in-vitro manipulations have begun to elucidate normal immune defense mechanisms against Candida, including serum factors, phagocytosis, intracellular killing mechanisms, and lymphocyte function (particularly T cell). The primary drugs for the treatment of disseminated candidiasis are still amphotericin B or amphotericin B plus 5-fluorocytosine; the mainstay of therapy for chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is amphotericin B. Other antifungals and immune system-stimulating modalities (transfer factor, thymosin, thymus epithelial cell transplantation, and levamisol) may be useful for chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis in some settings and deserve further evaluation.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Zoë Saldana
- 1990s
Tiny Dancer
Saldana leaves her native New Jersey for the Dominican Republic with her mother and two sisters. "It takes a lot of courage to start over, especially when you're a kid," Saldana later tells Women's Health of relocating to the Caribbean island, where she trained as a dancer. "Ballet has always been my first passion, but I simply didn't have the feet," she admits to Vanity Fair. "I have way too much pride and ambition to just be in the corps."
- 2000
Acting Out
For her last two years of high school, Saldana moves back to New York City and throws herself into after-school acting classes. "I became an actress to be in great movies, to work with amazing filmmakers," she tells PEOPLE. "And I think that's how I want to leave a mark if I'm ever granted that opportunity." Showing off both her acting and dancing skills, Saldana makes her movie debut as an aspiring ballet dancer in the 2000 film Center Stage.
- 2002
Sailing Away
Saldana follows up her film debut with the Britney Spears vehicle Crossroads and stars opposite Nick Cannon in Drumline. But it's Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, alongside Johnny Depp, where she gets her first taste of box-office success. "You really felt the immensity of it," she says of being part of the 2003 blockbuster.
- 2005
Funny Girl
Saldana tests her comedy chops in Guess Who, in which her character brings Ashton Kutcher home to her racially charged father, played by the late Bernie Mac. Coming from a multicultural family (Saldana is half-Puerto Rican, half-Dominican), the movie allows the actress to explore issues foreign to her. "My family is very, very diverse and very mixed, and it is not an issue in my house," she explains of interracial dating.
- 2009
Paging Zoe
The self-professed geek plays the sultry Lt. Nyota Uhura in the 2009 Star Trek remake. The film, costarring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, earns $72.5 million in its opening weekend. "Zoë's definitely fiery," director J.J. Abrams gushed to Details. "She has the fortitude for you to put her in control. She could really do the job – not just look good in a ridiculously short dress."
Blue Streak
Saldana stars in James Cameron's imaginative 3-D adventure Avatar, playing warrior princess Neytiri. The film, which costars newcomer Sam Worthington, earns three Academy Awards and becomes the highest-grossing movie of all time. Of the megahit success, Saldana says, "It definitely gave me the exposure and the respect of all the people I'd grown up admiring."
- 2010
The Face
Saldana becomes the face of Avon's Eternal Magic perfume and Calvin Klein Underwear. "It means so much to me to be associated with a company that shares my values and believes in empowering women," she says of being an Avon spokesmodel.
The Long & Short of It
Saldana and her longtime boyfriend, fashion website CEO Keith Britton, get engaged. "We've still managed to sustain a relationship in a world where half of the people we know are divorcing or going through problems," she tells Latina magazine. "It's like that song we both love by Frank Sinatra – we did it our way!" In November 2011, after 11 years together, the couple calls it quits.
- 2011
Taking the Lead
Saldana breaks out from supporting roles to headline Colombiana, playing a kick-ass assassin out to avenge her parents' murders. "I just love strong women that are in tune with their bodies – that don't just use their bodies as sex tools," she tells Details magazine of the film, which opens No. 2 at the box office. "I'm very dominant – feisty. I'm not a man-hater, just a very proud woman."
- 2012
Word on the Street
After meeting on the set of The Words, a newly single Saldana is linked to costar Bradley Cooper when the two are spotted sneaking kisses at a Sundance Film Festival party for their movie. "They were like two seventh-graders," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. The couple cools down soon after, but briefly reunites in the fall before ultimately calling it quits again just before 2013.

OECD Ministers Consider How to Make Green Growth Deliver
30 March 2012: Environment Ministers or their representatives from OECD countries and from Brazil, China, Colombia, Indonesia, South Africa, the Russian Federation, as well as representatives from business, NGOs and intergovernmental organizations recently convened in a Policy Committee Ministerial meeting on the theme "Making Green Growth Deliver."
The ministerial discussions, which took place in Paris, France, from 29-30 March 2012, covered five themes: progress made on the environment and what the future holds; connecting environment policy to science; the Environmental Outlook to 2050- an urgent call for green growth policies; adding OECD value to Rio+20; and multi-level governance and the role of Cities.
In their policy statement to Rio+20, ministers welcome the OECD's Environmental Outlook to 2050, which they say contains important findings in the fields of climate, water, biodiversity and human health that should inform deliberations at Rio+20. Ministers also consider that the OECD's Green Growth strategy provides an important policy toolkit, which can be used to address many of the development challenges facing the global community.
The ministers ask the OECD to broaden its green growth analysis, thematically and sectorally, in recognition that green growth should be encouraged across all sectors. In the policy statement, they also stress that the concept of green growth is not a replacement for the broader paradigm of sustainable development. Ministers support efforts to mainstream green growth into economic policy and note that the private sector will play a major role in delivering green growth.
Ministers commit to ensuring that the green growth policy agenda, open trade and investment for sustainable development and the spread of green technologies and innovation are mutually supportive. They stress that green growth should not constitute a means of discrimination or provide a pretext for environmental protectionism. Ministers also consider that work on sustainable development and environment should be a priority in OECD cooperation with enhanced engagement countries (Brazil, China, Indonesia, and South Africa) the Russian Federation and other emerging and developing countries.

On Feb. 18, St. Scholastica Academy students and faculty gathered for a pep rally to show their support for the playoff-bound soccer team.
Led by the cheerleaders, each grade yelled cheers, and the sophomores won the spirit stick. The soccer team was pumped for their state championship semifinal game that night.
The Doves defeated the Mount Carmel Academy Cubs at the SSA athletic complex with a score of 2-1. Emily Descant and Sarah Gaudet scored the goals with Brittany Bosarge and Abby Childress providing assists. Lauren Salles, Lindsay Achary, Natalie Helm, and Ashley Martinez were the top defenders in the game. The winning goalkeepers were Sara Kuebel and Elena Naccari. The team agrees that they were not simply lucky, but they earned the win through much preparation and giving all of their effort. Their win advances the Soccer Doves to the state championship finals.
The SSA indoor track team has also been working incredibly hard. They finished 8th at the State Indoor Championships on Feb. 19. Lauren Salles, Catherine Pereira, Gabby Regard, and Carley Boyce placed second in the 4 x 800 relay race. The Doves were also well represented by Catherine Pereira in the 3200 meter run and Carley Boyce in the 1600 meter run.
Additionally, SSA Cheerleaders and Royalettes dance team both traveled to Disney World this past week to compete at Nationals. The Royalettes won the American All Star junior high jazz championship. The Royalettes also won first in ensemble and placed second in pom. The Cheerleaders took sixth place in their competition.
In academic related achievements, Sophie Giberga and Carly Loveland were selected National Merit Finalists. Sophie was also named the regional Non-Public Student of the Year. She will now compete at the state level for Student of the Year.

Yesterday was the Red Cross Blood Drive. Although I completely forgot about the date Red Cross was suppose to arrive, I was still excited. In my lifetime I've given blood four times so far. Just the thought that the pint of blood I give will save lives makes me feel good inside. As I was walking to sign up desk for my blood to be drawn.
The women at the desk asked "Do you have your blood card".
I said "No."
So she asked "Do you have any government ID or CCBC ID."
As I checked my pockets I recalled that I had forgot my wallet at home. Since I had no ID, I couldn't give blood which made me feel disappointed. You'd think I'd give up but I didn't, instead I rushed to the enrollment services to see if I can get a replacement ID. But unfortunately, I couldn't get the replacement ID without paying $5 and I couldn't pay for it since my wallet being home. It was a lost cause but at least I tried and learned to allows carry a wallet. If your like me and missed giving blood at CCBC yesterday there are other places to donate like:

You were really committed! That's great because giving blood can save a life.

Embracing the school of thought that the best stories come from authors who "write what they know," River Ridge author Renee Garrett's book "The Lost Degas" is a tribute to the city and people of her childhood. "Having grown up in the New Orleans area and working on Magazine Street and St. Charles Avenue, I have met many interesting people that influenced characters in my book," Garrett said.
Garrett said the story is set in the late 20th century and revolves around the beneficiary of a small New Orleans French Quarter estate who is thrust into the lives of a mysterious Creole family and a curse that has followed them generation after generation.
The River Ridge resident relied on her experience in the interior decorating industry to gain inspiration for the book. "I have always enjoyed renovating old homes and restoring them to their former glory," Garrett said. "The home that serves as the central location for the book is based on a house owned by one of my friend's parents in the French Quarter. We used to go to this house when we were in high school and I always loved the feel and look of the place."
The author is also a fan of mystery novels, especially those written by renowned mystery writer Travis McGee. "I have always enjoyed a good mystery and this genre works really well in a New Orleans setting," she said. "The characters in my book are a combination of people in my life and the setting is definitely based on places I know well."
"The Lost Degas" was a labor of love taking about 10 years to complete. "I wrote three chapters at a time, in a short story format. I originally wrote the book on paper in long hand," Garrett said. "I decided to publish it digitally in parts in 2011 through Amazon.
"I relied heavily on my husband, Randy Garrett, and mother, Ayeesha Rees, for emotional support and editing revisions," she said. "Without my family, I could not have written anything. They were so helpful throughout the entire process."
Garrett's book can be purchased through Amazon.com in both digital and paper formats; also locally it can be purchased at the PJ's in River Ridge, Maple Street bookstore and at the Curtain Exchange on Magazine Street.

i think thats actually a decent price. that is HBO type money, certainly. and showtime often goes for the cheaper fights.
it's a great/very good fight for the fans and a risk for both guys.
not a bad showtime championship boxing card.
hbo payed four million for bradley and alexander, going off of memory.
and they've paid berto close to or more than that for fighting somebody who could be called a tomato can next to a WW like ortiz.

The Sounds of the Game video from the win over the Titans is up on Colts.com, and it's a good one. As usual, it's set to dramatic music, with plenty of shots from the sidelines to go along with the game action. Enjoy. But beware, excessive happiness may occur.
Also, if you like these types of highlights, and you have cable/satellite, there will be more on tonight (Wednesday) at 10:00 Eastern on NBC Sports Network's NFL Turning Point, with highlights made by NFL Films. I like this one much better than Inside the NFL, which focuses on "analysis" and almost completely glosses over the NFL Films highlights (which some people enjoy more – that's okay). NFL Turning Point's focus is almost exclusively the awesome dramatic highlights by NFL Films.

TUCSON - Arizona's law barring convicted felons from voting until after they've served their sentences has been upheld in court.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday upheld a trial judge's dismissal of a challenge contending that the law violates various constitutional protections. Those included equal protection under the law and provisions mandating free and equal elections.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor sat as a 9th Circuit judge to hear the case and she wrote the opinion.
It says the 14th Amendment lets states disenfranchise felons. It also says requiring felons to serve sentences before having voting rights restored is related to a legitimate state interest and doesn't violate the Constitution.

That number is nearly 1,000 fewer fatalities than in 2009, a 2.9 percent decrease.
While nationwide, fatal crashes were on the decline, Michigan saw an 8 percent increase in fatal accidents in 2010 from 2009. In 2009, the state had 872 fatal accidents, in 2010 the number was 942, a 70-person, or 8 percent increase.
One in 11 fatal crashes were related to distracted driving, which is what the NHTSA characterized as texting, phoning or answering a call while driving, a total of 3,092 people.
Three-fourths of drivers are willing to answer calls while driving, on all, some or most trips. People also said they would feel unsafe if as a passenger if their driver answered a call while driving.
There were also 5,389,000 non-fatal crashes in 2010, a 1.6 percent decrease in 2009, when there were 5,474,000 non-fatal crashes.

WASHINGTON -- The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted to pass Speaker John Boehner's plan to raise the nation's debt ceiling and implement sweeping cuts in government spending.
The plan now goes to the Democratic-controlled Senate, where Majority Leader Harry Reid has said he has the votes to table the measure, effectively killing it. Reid is planning to spend the weekend pushing what top Democrats insist is a more centrist piece of legislation.
Alabama's delegation voted along party lines, with all six Republicans voting yes, and the lone Democrat, no.
Boehner had scheduled a vote on the bill on Thursday but canceled it after he was unable to line up enough GOP votes. On Friday, Boehner tried to make the plan more appealing to conservatives by including a provision requiring congressional passage of a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution before the debt ceiling is extended through 2012.
The federal government will hit its debt ceiling on Tuesday and without congressional action will be unable to meet some of its financial obligations.
