The Famous Niniby Mary Nethery
In Venice in the 1890s, a café owner takes in a stray cat she names Nini. This is against her better judgment, for the café is modest, and she has nothing to spare. But in no time at all, the cat becomes a celebrity, charming all sorts of important visitors, including Giuseppe Verdi and the pope himself. In the end, Nini's resonant purr and the comfort it brings to a little girl produce a small miracle. Featuring humorous illustrations with a vintage feel, this inspiring story about a real cat assures us that acts of kindness can be rewarded in unexpected ways. Includes an author's note.

Planning a wedding can cause a person to become stressed. The planner has to keep abreast of every detail in the process if the wedding is to be trouble-free. This article contains a wealth of information that will make planning your wedding much simpler. You can turn one of your friends into a "mail-order minister" so that she can officiate the ceremony. Doing so allows for individual customization of your personal ceremony, and it can also save you having to spend money on an officiant. Just be mindful of all legalities in your local area, so check with an official who handles these sorts of issues. kristlig fagforening When making table assignments for your reception, ensure that even numbers of guests will be at each table. Try grouping tables by age groups so that they can talk about similar things.Choose someone who has an interest in photography that you will enjoy working with. They can help to gather up the family for group shots as well.Though the groom is important also, it's well-known that the reception should be as close to the bride's dreams as possible; making this a day she will never forget. If she has to stress about planning, and deal with a under par wedding, it will absolutely ruin her. Be sure the bride is consulted in all things to avoid any unhappy moments.If you don't want to spend a small fortune on flower arrangements on the reception tables, have you considered a display of potted plants instead? Seek out plants in lovely glazed pots, or make a simple stone look elegant with some ribbons and paint. When the wedding is over, the bride and groom can plant them at their new home, or the guests can bring home as wedding favors.Make sure the lighting at your wedding reception venue can be dimmed. This may seem like a minor factor, but many couples like dimming the lights for a first dance, and switching to brighter lights for the remainder of the event. Before giving the venue the thumbs up and your money, ask them about this detail.Instead of traditional floral bouquets, brides can adorn their bouquet with diamonds, rhinestones or other gems.

One of the photo creations that you can make in Elements is a photo collage using a variety of themes, background, frames, graphics, and text effects that come with the program. You can customize all of these items to make your collage unique to you and your photos. I'm going to make a collage from these six photos of carousel horses. The first step is to select the six photos here in the Organizer. I'll click on the first one, hold the Shift key, and click on the last one to select all six. Then I'll go up to the Create tab here in the task pane, click and from the menu of photo creations I'm going to choose Photo Collage.
I'll click there and that launches the Editor with the Projects panel open on the right, along with some other panels down here that are currently collapsed, but that I'll be using in a moment. Here are instructions about how to begin. The first step is to choose a page size for your collage. I always make sure that I choose a size for which I have paper and that fits in my printer. I'm going to leave this set to the default of Letter. The next step is to choose a theme for the collage here. A theme is a combination of background and frame for each of the pictures in the collage.
I'm going to click on this theme, the Broadway theme. When I click on it, I see a preview of the theme up here. When I'm done looking at the Preview, I can click the X, but the theme is still selected here. Next, I'm going to choose a layout for the photos in the collage. I am going to scroll down a little so you can see that better and then I'll scroll down in the Layout section until I see layout that I like. I want one that has room for three photos. So I'll choose this one called 3 Tilted, and that gives me a preview of the collage. I'll close the preview by clicking X here, but I still have the layout selected here in the Choose a Layout area.
I am going to scroll down further to see additional options. I'm going to leave Auto Fill with Project Bin Photos checked, so that Elements automatically fills the spots for photos in the collage with the open images from down here in the Project Bin. These are the six photos that I selected to open from the Organizer. I don't have any captions on these photos, so I'll leave that unchecked and here I can set the number of pages I want in the collage. Since I've six photos, I'll have three and each page with two pages total. Now that I've finish setting this up, I'll click the Done button and that causes Elements to create a collage for me.
It makes the collage and it brings my photos at the correct size into the spots for photos in this template. So this is just one page of the collage. If I go to the bottom of the editing area and I click this arrow, I can see the second page, which is filled with different photos. I could stop here or I can edit the collage, customizing the background and the frames and the size and the position of the photos. To start editing the collage I'll go to the Content panel, which is open here. If your Content panel isn't open, double-click its tab.
I'm going to start in this menu on the right, changing out the background, because I really don't like the red background from the theme. So I'll select Backgrounds and here I have a menu of Graphic Backgrounds. I can scroll down to preview the various backgrounds offered here and when I see one I like, like this one here, I'll select it by clicking on it and then I'll click Apply. And in just a moment Elements will apply the new background instead of the red curtain. I'd also like to change the frames around photos.
So I'm going to select one of the photos by clicking on it in the collage and then I'll go to the menu on the right side of the Content panel and this time I'll choose Frames. Now I could scroll down until I see a frame that I like, click on it, and then click Apply. However, I've done something else. I've chosen a frame that I like in advance, and put it here in my Favorites panel. Once a piece of artwork is in the Favorites panel, I can apply it to other photo collages as well. So I think it's a good idea to pick out your favorites. How did I get these into the Favorites panel? I just clicked on a thumbnail in the Content panel and dragged it down and released my mouse like that.
So I still have this particular photo right here selected in the collage and I'm going to apply this orange frame to it by clicking on the thumbnail of the orange frame in the Favorites panel and then clicking the Apply button at the bottom of that panel. That changes out the frame. I'll do the same on these other two images quickly selecting the image, clicking on the Orange thumbnail, and clicking Apply and selecting this image, clicking on the Orange thumbnail, and clicking Apply. I can also add text to this page. To do that I'm going to click on the background of the collage so that the photo is no longer selected, and then I'm going to go to the Content panel, click on that right-hand menu and I'm going to choose Text.
That brings up these thumbnails of different text effects to choose from. I can scroll down and find the one I want. If I select one, I can then click Apply, but I'm not going to do that because I already chose the text style that I want and dragged that from the Content panel down here into the Favorites panel. So to apply text using this particular text effect I'm going to click on the Text effect in the Favorites panel and then I'm going to click the Apply button at the bottom of the Favorites panel. If you look closely, you'll see a very small box here, which contains the text.
It comes in right in the middle of the collage. The first time that you use text in this way, it will come in very small like this. I'm going to click on that text box and then I'm going to click off of it. Now it appears with the bounding box around it. I am going to move my cursor over one of the corner anchor points of that small bounding box and I'm going to drag to make the text bigger. Then I'm going to move it from behind the photos by clicking in the center of the bounding box and dragging down to this blank area. I think it needs to be a little smaller, so I'll move a mouse over one of the corner anchor points again, and drag toward the center.
I also could rotate this text by moving my mouse under this tiny circle here clicking and dragging, although I'm not going to do that in this case. When I'm done changing the position and size of this text box, I'm going to click this green checkmark to accept those changes. Now I also can change the content of the text, I obviously don't want it to say Your Text Here. So I'm going to double-click inside the text box to select all of the text, and type what I really wanted to say, which is Carousel. Then I'll click off of the text to accept that change.
Another thing that I can do to customize this collage is to reposition any of the photos. So I might take this photo and move it over little by just clicking and dragging. I can also make any of the photos bigger or smaller by moving my mouse over a corner anchor point and dragging, and then if I like the result, I'll click this green checkmark. I can also rotate a photo. So I'll click on this one, and then I'll move my mouse over this little circle, which is the rotate handle, and I'll drag to rotate the photo. And when I'm done, I'll click the green checkmark.
Finally, I can change the content of any one of these photos by clicking inside of the photo- I currently have this photo selected- and then going down to the Project Bin. I'm going to click the menu labeled Show Open Files and change that to Show Files From Elements Organizer, so that I can see all of the files that I opened from the Organizer into the Project Bin. From here I'll select a different image and drag it up and on top of that selected photo and then I'll release my mouse and that changes out the photo there.
I can zoom in or out on that photo using the control that appears here. So I could make that larger, have it just be a picture of the saddle if I wanted, and then I'll click the green checkmark. Remember that all of the changes that I just made are only made to the current page of the collage, which happens to be page 2. If I click the arrow down here at the bottom of the editing area, I'll go back to page 1, which still has the original theme, and I could make similar changes to this page. But for now, I'll just leave things as they are. I am going to save the collage by going up to the File menu at the top of the screen and I'm going to choose Save As.
That takes me into the Pictures folder on my computer. I'll give the file a name, I'll call this carousel, and I'll make sure that the format is set to this special project format .PSE. I need to save it in this format, so that I can reopen the project at any time for more editing, applying different backgrounds, frames, text, or themes. I want to make sure to include the collage in the Organizer. So I'll leave Include in the Elements Organizer checked. Then I'll click Save. So that's not the only way to make a collage.
I could make a collage from scratch dragging one image into another, using the Type tool to add text, applying filters, and effects, and layer styles, and using other skills that I've been teaching you in this course. But it certainly saves time to use the automatic features in the Photo Collage project, and there are so many opportunities to customize this project that it really feels like I've created a unique collage.

By JOHN VARGO
Tribune Chronicle
The bombings at Monday's Boston Marathon changed how to prepare for more than 25,000 runners.
How will it alter the way organizers prepare for one of the area's biggest races, the annual Peace Race on Oct. 13 in Youngstown?
"We've always worked very closely with the Youngstown City Police and the Mill Creek MetroParks Police," Peace Race Board President Gary Sexton said. "They handle a lot of the security for us in the past and that'll be the same way in the future.
''Obviously, we'll adjust in any way they say we need to. We'll let our local police force guide us in any changes they think we need to take," he said.
Ted Rupe, who was one of the nation's best distance runners in the 1970s and 1980s, is the race director for the Peace Race and the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day in Champion. Both events draw more than 2,000 runners each year.
He doesn't want people to shy away from the sport because of what happened Monday.
"I hate running in fear of something like this going to happen," Rupe said. "I think that's what the people who organize terror activities are hoping we do.
"I don't think we have to be concerned about the events around here."
Terry McCluskey, who is a Vienna native and Peace Race Board member, said the event in Boston, which he ran in Monday, stunned him.
"This is an unbelievable change of events for our sport," he said. "I think we were immune to anything like this. Our goal is to enjoy the competition with athletes of all abilities from all over the world. It's supposed to be a celebration of health and wellness and athletics.
"Now we're going to be concerned with not only our personal safety, but the personal safety of the family that accompanies us. This is going to change our lives as we continue to compete everywhere."
The next Peace Race Board meeting is Monday, May 13.
The kids' race runs down Federal Street in downtown Youngstown, while the 2-mile race loops around the blocks of the downtown area before a short stretch down to the finish on Federal. The 6.2-mile race winds through scenic Mill Creek Park and then ends in the downtown area.
"The police are pretty visible downtown," Sexton said. "They're blocking off streets. They're walking the area. I know they're presence is very obvious at the start of the race, at the end of the race and throughout the whole course.
"Everywhere I'm on the course, I see police officers. We're running a point-to-point course, so they're a lot of blocking off a lot of cross streets.
''There's big party at the end of the race. There's a several-block area of downtown Youngstown that remains blocked off after the race. It's a pretty secure environment. Obviously, just like the super large races, we'll be examining this with the police and with our own board."
Peace Race Board Vice President Sarah Flament, who ran in previous races in Boston, said, "What makes Boston so unique is the quality of runners. The city makes you feel like a rock star. It's just amazing, especially coming down Boylston Street (to the finish).
"It's never going to be the same like that again because everybody is going to be scared."
She even fears for the spectators. Flament has a school-age son, a couple years younger than 8-year-old Martin Richard who died in the Boston bombing, watching his father, Bill, finish the race with his mother and sister.
"That boy who died, that could've been my son watching me run," Flament said. "It's easier said than done to not have that apprehensiveness going into large sporting events now. I think it's becoming common and that's the way our world is now.
"You can't help think there's a huge crowd here, something bad can happen."
As for Sexton, who is an avid runner, he won't hesitate to run in events like Boston.
"These races are such a celebration, such a culmination of individual's hard work and support from family members," he said. "When you cross the finish line in some of these big races, it's such a moment of joy and inspiration. We need to work hard at maintaining that.
"I don't see it effecting what races I go to."

Remembering Manny: Photographer recalls virtuoso's love for others, humble presence
Emanuel "Manny" Vardi, who passed away January 29, was a gift to us all: an international legend in music as well as art.
I have had the most amazing experience getting to know this brilliant and gentle man, all the more as I photographed him working happily for those many months on what would be his last painting.
I so respected him. I loved getting him to smile naturally so that his bright eyes twinkled playfully for the camera. We spent hours some days speaking about our respective life experiences as we both cared what the other thought, and respected each other as artists, as human beings. He wasn't about ego, for he truly loved people. His humility was extraordinary. He was "Manny."
I found him to be the most endearing presence, certainly one of the kindest, positive-minded men I have ever known. As we grew to know each other, I was able to bring friends of all ages over to his home to meet with him. He was always thrilled to meet his neighbors.
I was invited to his 95th birthday party this past summer and stood in their home amongst friends as our Manny was celebrated with the most beautiful viola rendition of "Happy Birthday," played by his lovely bride for over thirty years, Lenore. Honored, privileged as I have always felt to be allowed into his world and Lenore's, it is with great sadness that the world says goodbye to our sensational Manny. He was your neighbor here in the Snoqualmie Valley. The most beautiful place in the world to me,visually, made all the more special because of the human experience of its people. He forever will be held in my heart.

LISBON - Columbiana County commissioners wasted little time responding to a letter in Wednesday's Morning Journal suggesting they have taken a selfish approach with money received from the state casino tax.
"We were elected to take care of all the people in the county" and that is what they have tried to do with the casino tax revenue received by the county, said Commissioner Jim Hoppel.
Hoppel's comments were in response to a letter to the editor published in the same day's edition from former county commissioner David Cranmer, who suggested a local committee be created to disburse any money that might flow back to the county from a proposed increase in the state's oil and gas severance tax. He said that such a committee should represent a cross section of the county so everyone has a say.
Cranmer reminded readers that when the county began receiving casino tax revenue in 2012, officials from local communities asked commissioners to share the proceeds, "with the most obstinate response from Commissioner Halleck ... Don't hold your breath ..."
Commissioner Mike Halleck vehemently denied ever saying that, challenging Cranmer to produce the evidence to support his claim. "But I don't think that's going to happen. But it's the political season," said Halleck, who is up for re-election this year.
The Morning Journal reviewed its related stories from that period and found a headline from an Oct. 25, 2012 story about the possibility of sharing casino tax money directly with communities. The headline read "Message on casino cash: Don't hold your breath," which was about Halleck's defense of their decision to keep the money and promise to use it to help communities when possible. Nowhere in the story does Halleck say "don't hold your breath."
Commissioner Tim Weigle said they have done just that and then ticked off more than $500,000 in expenditures made with casino tax money to help other agencies, such as the county fair board, the 4-H program, the Soil and Water Conservation District, and stream-flow monitoring of the Little Beaver Creek.
Commissioners also used casino tax money to beef up law enforcement efforts, providing more than $100,000 to police departments to help pay the salaries of officers assigned to the county drug task force. The county sheriff's office was provided enough casino money to acquire a K-9 unit and add an additional deputy, with another deputy on the way this year.
Hoppel pointed out they used casino money to help Madison Township trustees and the county engineer's office construct salt-storage buildings, while Yellow Creek Township trustees received funding to serve as a match to qualify for a state public works grant to repair storm-damaged Hibbetts-Mill Road.
Casino money has also been used to close a funding gap in the Kensington sewer plant project, to qualify for additional state funding to demolish more abandoned homes, county dog pound improvements and on a number of courthouse repairs and improvements.
"Anytime (Cranmer) wants to come in we have a whole list of things we've spent the casino money on," Hoppel said.
Commissioners received a total of $1.2 million in casino tax money between July 2012 and the end of 2013, and another check in the amount of $323,211 arrived just two weeks ago.
Halleck defended their approach of holding onto the money and spending it as they see fit, while helping specific communities with projects when the need arises.
"I'm proud of what we're doing," he said.

—Dr. Weiss reported "that sickle cell trait is more than twice as common (12.6%) among tuberculous Negroes admitted to a large municipal general hospital than it is among nontuberculous Negroes admitted to the same hospital (5.3%)" and stressed the importance of his control series studied concurrently with the observed cases as well as the negative chest photofluorogram in control series. At Kings County Hospital, where the hematology division has been actively studying sickle cell anemia since 1946, we have repeatedly demonstrated the rather constant incidence of about 8% of persons with sickleable cells. An early report from this hospital is that of Watson, J.; Stahman, A. W., and Bilelle, F. P.: Am. J. M. Sc.215:419, 1949, which included 226 consecutive Negro females with a sickling incidence of 8%. More recently, since the introduction of the filter paper electrophoresis technique, we have screened large numbers

The White House is standing by its view that Fox News is not a news organization, but a mouthpiece for the Republican Party.
Last week, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn said that the administration would treat Fox as "an opponent" and that Fox was not a legitimate news organization. On Sunday, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod stood by Dunn's statement.
"The only argument Anita was making is that they're not really a news station," Axelrod said. "If you watch…it's not just their commentators, but a lot of their news programming. It's really not news. It's pushing a point of view."
Still, Axelrod added that administration officials would continue to appear on Fox. Meanwhile, Fox says it's open to a discussion with the White House.

This is resolved. The necessary development kits are buried on the

3-Day Forecast
At 7 am Palm Beach County Fire Rescue reported reports of a possible tornado touching down in the Loxahatchee area near 130th and Tangerine and also near 76th Rd N.
Crews have reported heavy damage. Fire rescue says several homes have significant roof damage. Fire rescue has begun to do a damage assessment of the area.
Fire Rescue reports a confirmed Trauma Alert patient after a tree fell through the roof of a home.
Tree limbs and power lines are down in The Acreage. At 130th Avenue and Orange Boulevard homes have been damaged.
"I woke up in my room, it sounded like a train coming through and all the trees going everywhere. I ran out the room to get my little sister and my mom already got her and put her in the room with no windows. I mean we've had hurricanes and damage but nothing like this." Kyle Powell said.
Along Temple Boulevard, fences are damaged, pools screens have been ripped apart, and tiles are missing from roofs. Strong winds ripped the tops off some palm trees and power lines are sagging. Windows are shattered in the neighborhood and screen porches have been torn apart.
The National Weather Service has dispatched a survey team from Miami to The Acreage and Belle Glade.
They will be able to tell if or where a tornado occurred or if straight line winds caused damage in the area.
The Red Cross says Disaster Response Teams have been activated across the region. County officials have requested support in Western Palm Beach County because of roof damage reports.
Red Cross Disaster Assessment Teams are on standby.

The premiere episode of this single-camera comedy starts with a flashback to Polly and her daughter Natalie (Rachel Eggleston) showing up, unannounced, on the doorstep of Polly's mother, Elaine (Elizabeth Perkins, "Weeds"), and step-father, Max (Brad Garrett, "Everybody Loves Raymond").
As written by series creator Claudia Lonow ("Accidentally on Purpose"), Elaine and Max are extreme characters, the kind of daffy free spirits who exist somewhere but probably not in the lives of the majority of viewers watching an ABC sitcom.
Actually, Max isn't that bad. He's got his eccentricities but they're pretty acceptable. It's Elaine who seems unreal and likely offensive to large swaths of the viewing public.
Her declarations are unusual ("I'm very proud of my orgasms!") and her lack of attachment to raising her daughter is odd (she doesn't remember if she bathed her daughter as a child). Elaine's self-absorption is less out-there but no more amusing: "What are we going to talk about?" she asks when it's time to babysit her granddaughter. "Kids are boring. We're the fascinating ones."
And that's the biggest problem with this show's execution: It's got a worthy premise that's larded up with unfunny, over-the-top characterizations

This is my 3rd Palm in a row (Vx - PE -TX) and TX seems to be the most

consider myself a die-hard Palm fan and an experienced user, but if
Palm (or Access) doesn't improve the quality of the product, it will

Brazil's oil windfall distribution debate takes off in the streets of Rio do Janeiro
Thousands of people took to the streets in Rio do Janeiro on Monday to urge Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to veto a bill that local officials say could cost Rio state billions of dollars in lost oil revenue, and cripple plans to host the World Cup and Olympics.
For Rousseff, the protest raises the stakes on what may be the most sensitive decision she has faced in her nearly two-year-old government: how to distribute tens of billions of dollars in expected revenue from a massive offshore oil find discovered in 2007.
A bill passed by Congress this month would spread the windfall more evenly between Brazil's 26 states and federal districts. But it would also alter royalties on existing production, angering Rio and other south-eastern states where most of Brazil's oil is located. Rousseff has until Friday to veto the bill.
In recent days, state officials have plastered streets and buildings with banners advertising the protest in large black and white lettering and a command in red for the president: "Veto, Dilma".
Rio is spending tens of billions of dollars building stadiums and other infrastructure for football's World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Summer Olympics, two events expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors.
Rio Governor Sergio Cabral, a key ally of the president, is leading the protest. He has cast the debate in dire language that analysts say may exaggerate the financial stakes but has nonetheless intensified political pressure on Rousseff.
"This bill will cause the financial collapse of the state of Rio de Janeiro," Cabral warned earlier this month. "There would be no Olympics, no World Cup, no payments for retirees and pensioners."
Approving the bill could hurt Rousseff's relations with Cabral's PMDB party, a large flexible movement that is an essential ally of the broad coalition that supports her ruling Workers' Party.
Rousseff has vowed to further Brazil's efforts to reduce poverty, in part by redistributing the windfalls from its growing commodity exports: from oil and iron ore to foodstuffs.
But on Monday police had cordoned off large swathes of Rio's centre, along the river-like bay that gives the city its name. State and municipal officials were facilitating attendance by waiving subway and ferry fees and providing buses from far-flung towns outside the capital.

closed my position @ 4.52 last week, re-entered today @ 4.26separately, just wanted to balance out all that negativity press release @ their website: Top US Government Agency Validates Benefits of Croslite™ Material The CrocsRX™ Custom Cloud Model is First Molded Shoe Approved by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Servicesi'm not saying this is a big positive, but it was nice to know, along w/ confirming that crocslite is proprietary.
seems you're the one that's spinning it, guy. leaving out information, why not say, 1 model for 23 million Americans. like i said, let the readers read the article, and decide; for me, it's a positive.
crox WROTE the press release, so it is THEM that use the word "proprietary" remember it is NOT patented. and yes it is a TRADEMARK, so others cant make foam and call it cross lite..but they can still make closed cell resin foam !
So true and VolksWagon can still make cars, but they can't make a Cadillac
*edit: closed position @ 4.52 last week; had posted update, but Yahoo/ someone flagged it, and it was deleted; re-entered today @ 4.26.
Cut the crap.
ck. the press release yourself; @ their website.

marinated the chicken breasts in the ranch for awhile before cooking them! yummy!!
Quick and easy fix. I mixed in crushed corn flakes with my bread crumbs. Delicious and crunchy. A nice way to get the crunch without having to fry.
The only thing I did differently was half the breasts instead of pounding them flat. Chicken came out moist and delicious. Big hit with picky eaters.

It seems like everywhere you look in movie news this week, it's all about the 83rd annual Academy Awards, which finally arrive Sunday night (Feb. 27). But it's not all about the Oscars.
As has become tradition, on the Saturday before Oscar Sunday, Film Independent's Spirit Awards will celebrate the best of independent cinema from 2010. Consider it a purer version of the Oscars -- but only by a little.
After all, this year four of the Spirit Awards' best-picture contenders will be competing in the same category on Oscar night -- a record.
(For the record, they are "127 Hours," "Black Swan," "The Kids are All Right" and "Winter's Bone.")
In addition, locally linked Spirit Award nominations this year include nods for the locally shot "The Last Exorcism," nominated for best first feature; John C. Reilly, nominated for best lead actor for his performance in "Cyrus," directed by New Orleans sibs Mark and Jay Duplass; and Ashley Bell, nominated for best supporting actress in "Last Exorcism."
You can find out who wins when the Spirit Awards air Saturday (Feb. 26) at 9 p.m. on IFC. (If you miss the show, you can find the results here at Nola.com.)
IndieWire has put together a nice preview of the night's festivities. It heads up our Evening Edition, a nightly collection of Hollywood headlines:
IndieWire: "Spirit Awards 2011: Previewing An Exceptionally Oscar-Friendly Showdown"
Nola.com: "Could 'Treme' star Melissa Leo's self-bought trade ads hurt her Oscar chances?" The very idea that a little self-promotion in Hollywood -- the town that all but invented self-promotion -- could cost Leo her Oscar would be hilariously ironic if it wasn't actually, indeed, possibly happening. Times-Picayune TV hoss Dave Walker -- who covers "Treme" like nobody's business -- does a nice summary of the whole controversy here.
Daily Variety: Jimmi Simpson to play Joshua Speed in the New Orleans-shot "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." Welcome aboard, sir.
The Wrap: Animated "Rango" ignites a smoking controversy. Bad lizard! Bad, bad lizard!
Deadline.com: "MPAA Gives Oscar Fave 'The King's Speech' PG-13 Rating For Removing 2 Swear Words." That's all it (bleep)ing took?
Hollywood Reporter: "Ewan McGregor in talks to join 'Jack the Giant Killer.'" Please say there will be light sabers, please say there will be light sabers, please say there will be light sabers.

First ASU Autonomous Mobile Robot Competition
Friday, May 2, 2014
11 a.m.-1 p.m.
Physical Education East (PEBE) 201 [map], Tempe campus
Panagiotis Artemiadis, assistant professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy, and students from MAE 598: Digital Control: Design and
Implementation, invite you to an autonomous line-following robotic competition.
Eight teams of students from the MAE 598 class have been building their own mobile robots throughout the spring 2014 semester. They will now compete in a race, where the robots need to race at a specifically designed track. The robots are fully autonomous, and equipped with sensors in order to "see" and navigate autonomously through the track in real-time.
The robot development and control is part of the final project assigned to the MAE 598 students. Students will present their project in a separate session. Participation of the MAE 598 students at the competition is optional.
The event is open to faculty, staff and students.
For more details, contact Panos Artemiadis at email@example.com.

Hi! I guess I can help you out on how to solve your problem. But for that I need more details. Can you elaborate about what exactly is the online algebra help check answers problem that you have to work out. I am quite good at solving these kind of things. Plus I have this great software Algebrator that I downloaded from the internet which is soooo good at solving algebra homework. Give me the details and perhaps we can work something out...

Algebrator really helps you out in online algebra help check answers. I have tried every Math software on the net. It is very user-friendly . You just put your problem and it will produce a complete step-by-step report of the solution. This helped me much with syntehtic division, matrices and inverse matrices. It helps you understand Math better. I was distressedof paying a lot of money to Maths Tutors who could not give me the required time and attention. It is a inexpensive tool which could transform your entire attitude towards math. Using Algebrator would be fun. Take it.

I remember having problems with syntehtic division, angle complements and binomial formula. Algebrator is a truly great piece of algebra software. I have used it through several algebra classes - College Algebra, Algebra 1 and College Algebra. I would simply type in the problem from a workbook and by clicking on Solve, step by step solution would appear. The program is highly recommended.
