Am Montag, 27.06.2016 begleiteten zum zweiten Mal seit 2014 Jugendliche, einige Medienschaffende und neu auch Berufsberaterinnen und Berufsberater ein Landetraining von SWISS in Châteauroux. Organisiert und durchgeführt wurde dieser Event von SWISS, Swiss AviationTraining (SAT) und SPHAIR mit dem Ziel, den Teilnehmenden einen Blick hinter die Kulissen zu gewähren und sie für den Pilotenberuf bei SWISS oder dem Militär zu begeistern. Dabei sollten sie viele Informationen über den Berufsalltag, die Karrieremöglichkeiten und die Ausbildung erfahren.
Swiss AviationTraining (SAT) put its new Bombardier C Series full-flight simulator into service at its Zurich Airport training base today. The simulator, which is the first in Europe to be certificated for pilot training, will be primarily used to train the C Series flightdeck crews of Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS). Its entry into service marks a further key step in SAT's development as a skilled and professional provider of comprehensive training solutions for cockpit and cabin personnel.
The flight schools of the Lufthansa Group in Germany, Switzerland, and the United States are combining their activities under the European Flight Academy (EFA) umbrella.
Swiss AviationTraining (SAT) and Lufthansa Flight Training (LFT) today celebrated the re-entry into service of their E-Jet 190 full-flight simulator at LFT's Vienna training base, together with Austrian Airlines. The simulator had been dismantled in its previous Munich location, transported to Vienna and reassembled at its new home, all in just six weeks.
Zürich, 27th January 2016 - The present companies responsible for pilot and cabin crew training within the Lufthansa Group are to be amalgamated into a single organization based at Munich, the Group's second-biggest hub, the Deutsche Lufthansa AG Executive Board decided yesterday.
Decades of expertise in Swiss Airline Training and the practical experience of our instructors enable top-level training for:
Pilot type rating
Cabin crews
Maintenance technicians
Human Factors Training
Providing basic pilot training for the cockpit crew corps of SWISS, Edelweiss and the Swiss Air Force is one of the core duties and tasks of Swiss AviationTraining (SAT).
In aviation, safety and quality are the prerequisites for successful operations. SAT transfers this unique and valuable expertise to other industrial sectors and provides a high-quality offer for companies and private individuals.

The autumn equinox, which marks the start of fall, occurs at 5:45 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 22. (The vernal equinox, marking the start of spring, occurred this year on March 19.)
"Equinox" comes from the Latin phrase for "equal night." On these two days, no matter where you are on earth, the sun rises roughly at 6 a.m. and sets roughly at 6 p.m.
Whether near the equator or the poles, whether in the northern or the southern hemisphere, all places on earth get almost exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night on the equinoxes. The only exceptions are the regions around the poles, where the sun just skims the horizon all day long on the equinoxes.
As we head into winter, this worldwide equality of day and night vanishes. On Dec. 21, the first day of winter, we'll get a pleasant 11 hours of daylight in Honolulu, even on the shortest day of the year. In contrast, our friends in Anchorage will have a little more than five hours of daylight on Dec. 21. The residents of Christchurch, New Zealand, on the other hand, get 15 hours of daylight on Dec. 21, the start of the southern hemisphere summer.
If the Earth were not tilted on its axis, every day would be 12 hours long, and every night would be 12 hours long, all the year round and all over the planet.
Instead, the Earth is titled 23.5 degrees. As we orbit the sun in the course of the year, there are times during the year when the northern hemisphere is tilted in towards the sun (summer) and times when the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun (winter). That said, we have two times during the year when the tilt of the Earth doesn't matter: the first day of spring and the first day of fall. On these two equinoxes neither hemisphere tilts in, and neither hemisphere tilts away from the sun. At these two times of the year we get a glimpse of what our planet would be like if Earth were not tilted at all.
The 17th-century poet John Milton uses this fact to explain paradise and the loss of paradise. In the world of Adam and Eve before the fall of man, the Earth is straight up and down. All days are 12 hours, all nights are 12 hours, and the weather is spring-like all over the planet.
After Adam and Eve bite the apple, God sends the angels to make one change: they tilt the Earth. With that action come the cold days of winter and the blistering days of summer, and farewell to the paradise of eternal spring. The poem, appropriately, is called "Paradise Lost."
The closer you are to the equator, the less the tilt of the Earth matters. In fact, on the equator, in a city like Singapore or Quito, Ecuador, every day is 12 hours and every night is 12 hours.
As you move away from the equator the change in the length of days becomes more and more striking. In Honolulu, a mere 21 degrees north of the equator, the sun is above the horizon for 13 hours on our longest day (June 21), and for just under 11 hours on the shortest day of the year (Dec. 21). By the time we get to Anchorage, the longest day on June 21 is 19 hours long, and the shortest day on Dec. 21 is a little over five hours long. Once you get above the Arctic Circle (66.5 degrees N), you have days in the winter where the sun never rises, and summertime days where the sun never sets. All of this due to the one simple fact that our planet is tilted 23.5 degrees.

Sea Urchins
this wiki
Sea Urchins is the 13b episode of Flapjack. first aired in December 11.
A gang of kids from the bad part of Stormalong pick on Flapjack. And when Flapjack tries to get on their good side, more problems arise.
This is the third time Flapjack sang. The first time was in "Several Leagues Above the Sea!" and the other time was in "Knot Funny."
Apparently, K'nuckles is the god of not doing anything for anybody.
This is probably the first or only time, for a moment, Bubbie talks with her blowhole.
Sea Urchins aired on December 11th.
The episode name, Sea Urchins, is an obvious reference to the marine animal named sea urchin, the sea urchin uses long moveable spikes which are used for moving aorund and for self-defense and cleaning itself.
Bubbie: Baby, how'd you get so shiny?
Flapjack: I drank all this self polish!
Bubbie: That's not self polish, that's shelf polish! I use it to polish my bell collection shelf!
Flapjack: Ra-ling a ding ding!

Guest Editorial: City of Bothell improving transportation challenges every day
from the City of Bothell Transportation Division
The City of Bothell works diligently to improve its transportation challenges by researching opportunities that will focus on progress of the local arterials addressed as a transportation issue considered by Bothell City Council. Recent efforts include:
· Council designation of "Highway of Statewide Significance" for State Route 527 (Bothell-Everett Highway);
· Partnership with Sound Transit to improve State Route 522 Phase I Corridor; and
· Creation of Transportation Division within the Public Works Department consisting of a Transportation Manager, Transportation Engineer and Transportation Planner.
"The City of Bothell is committed to implementing transportation solutions," said City of Bothell Public Works Director Dave Zabell. "Bothell City Council works effortlessly with our Transportation Division to address traffic concerns in our community."
Bothell City Council recently designated State Route 527 as a "Highway of Statewide Significance." This designation will increase the City's opportunities to receive state funding dedicated to improving SR-527.
Bothell City Council authorized City staff to enter into a Sound Transit agreement that begins preliminary design of and environmental work on Phase I of the State Route 522 Multi-Corridor Plan (MCP).
This phase provides a unique partnership opportunity for the City to act as lead agency in constructing an estimated $13.5 million Bothell Way NE improvements. Projected improvements include:
· Adding transit lanes,
· Sidewalks,
· Adding 100 or more parking spaces at the existing Park & Ride located at the southeast side of the Main Street/SR-522/SR-527 intersection, and
· An overhead pedestrian bridge east of Main Street and Bothell Way NE intersection.
With the creation of a Transportation Division within the Public Works Department, it allows full-time staff to address transportation concerns and implement solutions. The Transportation Division works with regional organizations such as Eastside Transportation Partnership (made up of Eastside elected officials), Seashore Transportation Forum, Sound Transit, King and Snohomish Counties and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
For information on additional transportation efforts, call the City of Bothell Transportation Division at (425) 486-2768.

Casual observers of last year's changes in Egypt, Libya, and Tunisia have compared those popular uprisings with the protests that have taken place over the last year in Bahrain. Many have lumped all of these movements into one category, and called them the Arab Spring, indicating hope and resurgence. They have characterized this movement of acceding to the demands of the people in the streets as inevitable, and have suggested that the demonstrations are the final efflorescence of a longing for democracy in the Middle East.
Unfortunately, nothing could be farther from the truth. First, it is an analytical error to confuse public demonstrations with democratic rule. This was a principle well understood by the founders of the United States, who wrote articles encouraging the colonists to adopt self-rule instead of being ruled by the monarchy, and had to address concerns about mob rule.
Second, what we generally call democracy involves far more than simply voting and allowing the majority's voice to determine all policy and even the structure of the government. It is not enough to vote against the current order, as we have seen in the countries mentioned above. There must be an order in place that voters are supporting, or the old order is replaced by a vacuum of power.
The government of Bahrain faces continued protests from several factions, all demanding an increase in rights and political power.
Unfortunately, according to the common view of the situation, protesting groups and the rest of society break down along sectarian lines: Shiite protesters are demanding more political power from Sunni rulers and elites. This perception has hardened into a new reality as regional powers have begun to intervene and are attempting to wage a proxy war between Iran, the mother of Shia ideology and governance, and Saudi Arabia, the mother of Sunni ideology and governance. Until now, Iran has been denied access to the Arabian Peninsula, but if they succeed in penetrating Bahrain, the Saudi Eastern Province cannot be far behind.

Until now, Iran has been denied access to the Arabian Peninsula, but if they succeed in penetrating Bahrain, the Saudi Eastern Province cannot be far behind.
The potential consequences of the outcome in Bahrain are too severe to take chances on a rapid change without consideration for what may come after it. If Bahrain is destabilized, then Iran has an opportunity exert influence – or perhaps seize outright control -- over a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The U.S. would then lose its valuable naval base, which is the headquarters to the 5th Fleet. If residents of the Saudi Eastern Province become restive, the world's greatest oil-producing region will become unstable.
Indeed, the Gulf states consider this such a serious threat that they have reopened the long-tabled notion of the GCC Union. The threat to Bahrain and islands of the United Arab Emirates has breathed new life into the idea. When members of the Iran's Shura Council suggest that Bahrain is part of Iran, the GCC states look for ways to counter the threat to ensure that they will not become fragmented. They want to ensure a stronger hand in international negotiations with all parties, not just with Iran. The smaller states feel a need to ensure that the American security guarantee is honored for the benefit of all member states.
All parties in Bahrain have an opportunity to avoid destabilization by changing the focus from rejection, rebellion, and replacement to reform and restructuring. Before we can have a conversation about reform, however, the opposition must understand that there is a stopping point. They must know the limits of their demands. When the Crown Prince first initiated dialogue with the protesters last year, some elements responded by a call to abolish the monarchy altogether, while others called for the death of the royal family. The hard liners within the government responded immediately, and all of Bahrain is still reeling from the aftermath of that exchange.
The King of Bahrain has since condemned the violence and excesses of that crackdown and pledged to pursue a path of dialogue and reform. There must be some preconditions set before the dialogue can succeed and confidence-building measures on both sides: the Shiites must feel secure in their homes and places of worship, and all Bahrainis must feel confident that public order will not be disturbed by protests or violence. The royal family must feel sure that they are not under attack. Naturalized citizens must feel safe from Shiite attacks based on their ethnicity, religion, or country of origin. All Bahrainis must feel that Bahrain is their home, their country, and feel the loyalty to country that will overcome partisan or sectarian differences.
Most importantly, there must be a rule of law that governs firmly and fairly. There can be no dialogue with a mob on one side, or with hard liners on the other. The government has pledged to guarantee the safety of all citizens, and to follow the prescriptions laid out in the Bassiouni report issued by the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI). The opposition now must guarantee to the government that there will be an end to their demands; that one demand will not lead to a snowball effect, which ends up in calls for the death or banishment of the royal family.
The Al Khalifa family has governed Bahrain for nearly 300 years with justice and stability. In particular, King Hamad steered the country to unprecedented prosperity and liberty, and provided alternative means of generating income, so that when the oil and gas are no longer available, there will still be an independent Bahraini economy. Only by working together to institute the rule of law, to establish a foundation for dialogue, and to preserve the monarchy in the bargain, can Bahrainis avoid the buyer's remorse of Egypt and Libya.
Dr. Khalafalla is the President of the Bahrain American council, a Washington, DC-based bilateral trade council.

I already put together a Storify detailing the first half hour or so of events today in the House. Basically, PM John Key responded to questions about NZ citizens being held on Christmas Island with repeated accusations that the Labour party is supporting rapists. The Speaker held that this was not offensive and did not need to be withdrawn, because the measurement is not whether one member is offended but whether the House is offended. Apparently, the House is not offended by a member accusing the Opposition of supporting sex crimes. This prompted a large number of Labour and Greens MPs to walk out – according to Nathan Simms (@5WinstonSmith5) this was the biggest walk out since Muldoon claimed that Moyle had been stopped by police while gay cruising. That event took place when homosexuality was still illegal, in 1976.
There are some tweets in there regarding a few of the minor crimes detainees were convicted of; here's a story with more detail about a couple of cases.
At the end of Question Time everyone came back in and Chris Hipkins filed a motion for a vote of no confidence in Carter as Speaker. Unfortunately, since you have to file a motion, even a single objection is enough to block it, and of course National did not allow the vote to be held.
Ironically enough, after this MP Tracey Martin called for an urgent debate regarding police inaction on a group of teenager boys posting photos of them committing sex acts on drunk and underaged girls (I don't think I need to get more specific than that), which was also denied. By National. Twitter continued in this vein by listing other reasons Key's accusations were highly hypocritical – defunding of rape crisis centres, for example, or Kelvin Davis' own history of fundraising for victims through sponsored charity walks.
Personally, my position is staunchly that even if all 40 Kiwis being held on Christmas island were criminals of the worst sort, it wouldn't matter. They served their time and have been released from jail. They should not still be held, whether in a Correctional facility (which Christmas Island is not) or a detention centre. It's an abuse of human rights.
And it's an abuse that is still even worse than what refugees there are suffering. What I very much hope is that if anything comes of the Kiwis being held there it's that the media starts to pay more attention to the conditions. It's not that we haven't had serious eye witness evidence to these camps before, but the way the media in almost any country focuses so intently on the local connection to any situation (a hundred people die and we pay attention to the one Kiwi who hasn't lived here in 20 years who was nearby at the time, etc), maybe, just maybe, having Kiwis in these camps will make it more real for people. Because we really have a strong moral obligation to call Australia out on this shit and instead we're pandering to them – partly because they're our bigger neighbour, partly because they're in between us and most refugees. Politics and cowardice.
And then compare John Key's behaviour to that of the actual Kiwis in question, as reported in the Herald of all places. (There's an autoplay video there you'll have to turn off.)
The unrest began with upset refugees asking officials what happened to refugee Fazel Chegeni, whose body was found on Sunday following his escape from the detention centre on Friday. "They just wanted straight-forward answers, and weren't given straight-forward answers," Mr Hohua said.
The hated ERT were sent in, he claimed, and jostled with the refugees. Mr Hohua claims that one ERT member challenged one refugee to a "one on one" fight.
"That's when us 501s [convicted criminals with cancelled visas] got involved," he said. "You can't f***ing do that. Who are you? You know. We didn't get involved, as in, throw any punches, but we made sure that he wasn't going to touch the refugee, or any of them were going to touch the refugee. Refugees don't fight. Refugees just yell and scream and argue and get beaten up for it."
I'm pretty proud of the people who are working in defense of refugees – whether they be NZ citizens with criminal convictions in the camps or people like Kelvin Davis and the ordinary people going to protests and speaking out. It almost makes up for how fucking disappointing the government is.

Ariel Castro, the man who held three women captive in his home for 10 years, was sentenced to life in prison plus 1,000 years Thursday.
Castro, 53, had pleaded guilty to 937 counts, including murder, rape, and kidnapping in a deal that let him avoid the death penalty.
Michelle Knight, one of the three women held captive, was the only victim to make an appearance and testify at his sentencing.
"You took 11 years of my life away and I have got it back," she said. "I spent 11 years in hell and now your hell is just beginning."
Castro sat through the lengthy sentencing as witness after witness depicted the cruelty he inflicted on his victims.
The two other women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, did not make an appearance. Berry chose not to testify at the sentencing because she said she didn't want to speak of the horrors she endured.
Both she and DeJesus had family members representing them during the sentencing.
Prosecutors had released new details ahead of the sentencing. The three victims were chained by their ankles and only given access to plastic toilets that were rarely emptied.
They kept diaries to document their abuse and described being treated like prisoners of war.
"I may have been through hell and back. But I am strong enough to walk through hell with a smile on my face," Knight said.
The women said they are rebuilding their lives and enjoying the simple pleasures of going out and spending time with family.

Quite often, when I'm at trade shows or customer locations, I hear people say "Paper is paper ... it doesn't really matter what I use to print my images." But, according to professional photographers such as Greg Gorman and John Paul Caponigro, and world renowned fine art painters like Peter Max, the choice of media is just as critical as your printer and ink. So, does it pay to invest in premium paper and add to your printing costs? At Epson America, we strongly believe the choice of paper really does matter.
There are hundreds of steps involved in producing premium, high quality media products. But, before running any tests to certify a paper product is perfect in terms of quality and performance, it's imperative that one has an understanding of the demanding requirements of the end user. That said, we have an ongoing collaboration with many creative, industry professionals who help us determine the perfect blend of product attributes, including density, colour gamut, shadow detail, tonal gradations, paper texture, caliper, look, feel, and Dmax, just to name a few.
This collaborative effort to develop the perfect product has taken more than five years. It's been an iterative process where we have developed prototype products and sent them to our team of experts to test and offer suggestions for improvements. Once they've provided their feedback, it's back to the R&D lab to incorporate these improvements into the paper.
A new and improved prototype is then sent to the team of experts for further evaluation. As we go through this process, it is important to note that product attributes are somewhat linked together and can produce a cause-and-effect relationship. Lets say, for example, we increase the caliper or thickness of the paper to give it a better feel. This may have an adverse effect on the paper curl or its ability to lay flat. Also, during this task, we need to be cognizant of the fact that our papers need to be capable of producing stunning prints in both colour and black-and-white.
Once we've identified the perfect blend of product attributes, the qualification process begins. This step can take anywhere from three months, for a "fast track" product that encounters no issues, to a year or longer, for a product that needs additional refinements. The process starts with a "Planning Review", during which specific target markets are identified. Then, a "Trial Sample" is produced and tested to determine if it meets all target specifications. Only a small run is produced because, typically, changes need to be made in the manufacturing process to satisfy the target specifications. Once this step is successfully completed, we produce a large-run "Working Sample." It is during this step that most of the testing occurs. The following things are evaluated: physical attributes, image quality, paper handling, environmental conditions (high and low temperature and humidity), scuff resistance, water resistance, and more. Upon passing this step, the process moves to "Mass Production", which is where we evaluate the final product from three different production runs in order to ensure consistency from lot to lot.
Another important attribute of our portfolio of media products is image permanence. We conduct tests in this area in order to ensure prints will have adequate longevity. With photographs and fine art reproductions that approach a six-figure selling price, it's understandable that the customer has a vested interest in how long the image will last. That said, all of our papers have been tested by third-parties using a known industry standard in lightfast testing.
In conclusion, we believe it is a critical part of your creative workflow to select the appropriate paper. Not all papers are created equal. However, you can be confident all Epson papers are subjected to rigorous and demanding testing processes before the Epson name goes on the box. "You should not accept anything other than Epson media", says Michael Godard, one of the most prolific fine artists of today. "Epson media makes my fine art reproductions just as good as the original!"

NESHANIC STATION — The Somerset County Park Commission has announced a new golf registration program for Somerset County businesses that will allow use of any of the five County-run courses regardless of the place of residence of the players.
"Somerset County Business Registration" will provide each participating business with four transferable County Registration Cards and one Tee-time subscription in the business name. The cards will allow play at any of the five county courses (Neshanic Valley in Neshanic Station, Green Knoll in Bridgewater, Warrenbrook in Warren, and Spooky Brook and Quail Brook in Somerset) for in-county rates. The cards also permit tee-time reservations up to seven days in advance of the day of play.
The "Somerset County Business Registration" fee is $1,200 for the year. The regular Non-Resident Adult Package with Tee Time Subscription registration is $325 per golfer and is non-transferable. Each time a cardholder plays he or she will be charged the appropriate adult in-county rate at the facility.
"This business package allows business owners the flexibility to invite an unlimited number of clients or employees to play the championship county courses without the need for each to register or pay the higher out-of-county rates," said Bob Ransone, deputy director of Golf Management. "The cards are not individual-specific and may be used for any number of golfers throughout the year."
Greens fees at Green Knoll, Spooky Brook, Warrenbrook and Quail Brook range from $16 for seniors and juniors to $24 Mondays to Thursdays and $22 for seniors and juniors to $28 for adults Friday to Sunday and holidays for Somerset County residents. Neshanic Valley rates are $50 Monday to Thursday and $60 Friday to Sunday and holidays. Senior and junior rates are $40 Monday to Thursday and $60 Friday to Sunday. Neshanic Valley rates include a gas cart.
The "Somerset County Business Registration" is available at any of the five county courses: Neshanic Valley, South Branch Road, Neshanic Station; Green Knoll, Garretson Road, Bridgewater, NJ; Spooky Brook at Colonial Park, Somerset; Warrenbrook, Warrenville Road, Warren; Quail Brook, New Brunswick Road, Somerset.
Information of all golf facilities may be obtained by calling the Somerset County Park Commission at 908-369-1458, ext. 428. Information on all Somerset County Park Commission events and activities may be found at www.somersetcountyparks.org.

When 7-months-pregnant Caroline O'Conner was bombarded with gifts of baby clothes, she figured there must be some green-friendly way to deal with the multitude of garments that her child would wear for maybe a month or two. She quickly realized there wasn't. So O'Conner, a fellow at Stanford University's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, founded a site to prevent baby clothing pile-up.
Inspired by Netflix, Plum allows parents to sign up for a monthly delivery service: 2 outfits for $16/month, 4 outfits for $29/month, and 7 outfits for $49/month. Sizes range from 0-3 to 2T, and you can request specific, season-appropriates clothes based on where you live. Clothes are all from boutique brands like Egg Baby, Tea Collection, and Kate Quinn Organics. And like many successful online shops, the package comes with an envelope for free returns (and even an organic muslin laundry bag).
In addition, all clothes are washed with organic Seventh Generation Baby Free & Clear detergent in Plum-only washing machines. The best part is you don't have to worry about permanent stains: anything returned in less-than-perfect condition will simply be donated to foster care. (Clothes not returned at all will be charged a fee of $10 per outfit).
We're not the only ones impressed with this brilliant start-up: only months after launching, there's already a waiting list.
That said, what's missing from the site is an option to either trade in old clothes for new ones or to donate them through the site to charity, in exchange for a tax credit. We're sure there are many parents out there eager to unload used baby clothes in good condition: this would allow them to do so without a hassle (and with the benefit of scoring new items). Another problem, as some Facebook fans pointed out, is that moms want to see the clothing options first before they sign up.
But even without those improvements, Plum has an edge in the growing list of sites that help shoppers avoid piling up limited-use clothing, as it joins the successful Rent the Runway and the recently-launched NewlyMaid (which allows customers to unload bridesmaid dresses).
As a sustainable, green alternative to the waste of baby clothes, Plum has our vote. Now we look forward to seeing how they expand their venture to handle that waitlist.

Betrayed is when someone who you really thought was a great friend that you've known for a while, goes and fucks you over. And by fucking you over i mean he drugs you just to get a good laugh; slips something in your drink when you are already a goner. Then he just leaves you their to fucking rot. You wake up the next morning missing your underwear and not knowing WTF happened, but you know it was all him. This is when you realize that you have been betrayed.

Thomas' answers were just as expected: he's happy his teammate is finally healthy and there's plenty of playing time to go around.
"We're excited to have him back," Thomas said. "He's a great player and he's going to be a great addition to our secondary."
Thomas will be the starter opposite Corey Webster for at least one more game, as Ross will likely play in a limited capacity if he does suit up on Sunday against the Falcons for his season debut. Ross is a former first-round pick who played well in his rookie season before struggling a bit last year. He'll be the starter once healthy, which would bump Thomas back to being the team's third corner. (Unless, of course, either he or Ross make a switch to safety.)
Even if Thomas is demoted, he'll still be a valuable part of the defense as the nickel corner who plays over the slot receiver. At that spot, he's an effective blitzer off the edge. Plus, two of his three interceptions this season have come on coverages underneath a receiver running up the seam.
"He's played well," coach Tom Coughlin said. "He's done a nice job at the nickel spot."
Thomas obviously would like to keep a full-time role, but he knows having Ross back is a bonus for the entire secondary.
"I don't think we've been this deep all season," Thomas said. "We'll be a little more versatile in our coverages and we'll do a lot more things. You'll see that this week."
That wasn't the only time Thomas hinted there could be more aggressive schemes and coverages in the secondary this week. He said something similar when asked about defending Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan, who has thrown a total of 10 interceptions in his last five games.
"We have to pressure him, we have to maybe jump the routes and have him hesitate because obviously he's hesitant right now," Thomas said. "He's not setting up right in the pocket or whatever the reason is. We're just going to put a lot of pressure on him and hopefully keep him in that same slump."
So let's get this straight: the secondary that couldn't communicate on regular calls a few weeks ago is going to get a little tricky now?
According to Thomas, yes, that's exactly what's going to happen. And he believes it's possible because players like safety Aaron Rouse and rookie corner Bruce Johnson are getting adjusted to the system, especially after having the bye week to reset their mental tables a bit.
"Our defense is hard, it's complex. Things change at the last second," Thomas said. "Now, they have a good eight games, a good bye week to get adjusted to the defense and how we play it, too – how we play with each other.
"It's hard to line somebody up and say, 'You're playing the deep half. This is what you have,' Something might happen and you have to adjust to it. We didn't and we were all off. I think we're back on track as a secondary."
Thomas believes the ship began to be righted against the Chargers and that things will continue to progress now that Ross is back in the fold. He also believes Rouse, Johnson and even C.C. Brown will play much better.
"It'll show more. There will be more confidence and we won't be hesitant. That's the main thing," Thomas said. "It wasn't that they didn't know what they were doing. It's just that when you don't know the defense you're a little hesitant."
Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) did not practice for the second straight day and remains a question mark for Sunday, but RB Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to practice for the first time in five weeks.
"You can see that speed and Jerious smile out there, breaking in and out of the huddle," Falcons coach Mike Smith said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
WR Roddy White (knee) and S Erik Coleman (knee) returned after sitting out on Wednesday. Norwood, White and Coleman were all limited. Starting OT Sam Baker (ankle) practiced fully and appears to be on track to return after sitting out Sunday's game against the Panthers.
|The New York Giants are rejuvenated and ready to do battle against the Falcons after the bye week

THE MOMENT FANS STEPPED INSIDE Atlanta's Omni Coliseum on the night of March 5, they could tell that U2, the politically correct band of the '80s, had retooled for the '90s. Gone were the low-tech stage sets of tours past, replaced this time by totems of the new world order. Six boxy East German Trabant cars, their headlights converted into spotlights, hung from the rafters—and symbolized, perhaps, the collapse of European Communism. Onstage, stacks of giant TV screens flashing messages such as CELEBRITY IS JUST A JOB...CALL YOUR MOTHER...WATCH MORE TV as well as live bits from the Home Shopping Network and other shows suggested the worldwide communications revolution. For part of the show, lead singer Bono, 31, performed in wraparound bug-eye sunglasses, which may have been (a) just really cool or (b) a subtle allusion to dangers posed by the Mediterranean fruit fly.
The set wasn't the only thing that has changed about U2; the music was new too (not to mention the idea of selling $1.50 condoms that read ACHTUNG BABY to benefit an AIDS charity). Bono (Paul Hewson), guitarist the Edge (Dave Evans), 30, bassist Adam Clayton, 32, and drummer Larry Mullen Jr., 30, concentrated on music from their latest album, Achtung Baby, which has sold almost 7 million copies, and played only a sampling of past hits, including "Pride (in the Name of Love)" and "Desire." Asked if he worried that the absence of more familiar tunes might alienate fans, Bono told MTV: "We might lose some of the pop kids, but we don't need them."
Bono may be right. In Lakeland, Fla., first stop on the 31-city tour, 6,000 tickets had sold out in four minutes. In Boston the flood of calls to a special toll-free ticket number for a March 17 concert temporarily knocked AT&T's 1-800 phone system out of orbit.
"Bono is just so intelligent," gushed Rebecca Largent, 21, who drove six hours from Mississippi to the Atlanta concert. "This is real music that you'll be able to look back on in 20 years and say, 'Yes, I like this.' "

New Las Vegas Hotels: Red Rock Station
By Courtney May
Another future hotel casino scheduled to open in the Las Vegas area is the Red Rock Casino, Resort and Spa. Scheduled to open in the Spring of 2006 and located at the Intersection of Interstate 215 and Charleston Boulevard in the Northwest Valley section, Red Rock Station claims it is the "Garden of Eden meets Sin City."
This new 70 acre property will feature 414 hotel rooms and 48 suites ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 sq. ft. Additionally, there will be a 3 acre "backyard pool" complex with private cabanas, gardens, and an island. The 20,000 sq. ft. full-service spa will include 25 treatment rooms, a state of the art fitness center, private lap pool and full service salon and barber shop. The casino will be all that you expect in Vegas: 87,00 sq. ft. with 2,800 slots and video poker, 60 table games, state of the art race and sports book, plus a 15 table poker room and 600 seat bingo games. Dining includes 10 full service restaurants, bars and lounges, poolside dining, and a world-class wine cellar. Also on-site is a 16 screen Regal Cinemas, and arcade, childcare facility, and entertainment lounge.
The Resort also boasts a location just minutes from world-class golf courses, desert hiking and horseback riding, the Red Rock Canyon, and cycling-- in addition to the wonderful world of the Las Vegas strip. Thinking of bringing your meetings to Vegas? Red Rock will feature 40,000 sq. ft. of meeting and convention facility space, and offer accommodations for groups from 15 to 1,500. Reservations are currently being accepted for April 22, 2006 through December 30, 2006.
Trumped in Las Vegas
By Courtney May
While in Las Vegas last week for the Luxury Travel Expo, I picked up on a few things that I thought I might share with all those travelers out there who have, will or want to travel to Vegas in the next few years. Between now and 2008, there are a number of new luxury hotels and casinos scheduled to open in Las Vegas. Currently Las Vegas boasts 133,000 hotel rooms and is expected to grow by 2009 to at least 155,000 rooms.
Here is the first example of what is yet to come:
The Trump Las Vegas has already broken ground behind the Fashion Show mall and Frontier Casino. From my room at the Wynn Las Vegas, I could see the starting foundation. The Trump International Hotel & Tower Las Vegas will be 64 gold-plated stories tall, with 1232 hotel condominiums and 50 hotel condominium suites-- ranging from 635 sq. ft. for a studio condo unit up to 3,530 sq. ft. for a three bedroom suite. The rooms feature floor to ceiling windows, euro-style kitchens, Italian marble floored entries and baths, spa tubs, flat screen plasma TVs, and wireless internet. Additional amenities include spa, fitness center, salon, and a heated outdoor pool. But Trump isn't gambling with this one-- parking will be valet only and there will be no casino! Doesn't sound much like the Vegas I know.
Last Minute Holiday Getaways: The Setai, Miami
Let the countdown begin. With Christmas a week away, a few-days escape may be the highest priority on your wishlist. Look no farther than The Setai, the eight-story art deco landmark in South Beach. Set amidst tropical gardens and exquisite pools, The Setai has a spa like no other, with luxury suites to match. Black granite baths, rainwater showers, espresso coffee-makers, and equipped with cutting-edge technology. Christmas rates start at $900, including breakfast.

Stay on the Slopes at Amangani, Jackson Hole
The creme de la creme of ski resorts, Amangani was voted first for its spa programs by Conde Nast Traveler readers, and ranked as the top apres-ski destination in the recent December issue of Men's Health. This place oozes luxury in every detail-- from the Pacific redwood paneling to suites with deep soaking tubs and panoramic views to the gorgeous outdoor swimming pool warm enough to be enjoyed year-round. The setting? The 40-suite resort is set on the cliff of a butte, with a cedar roof that blends in with the surrounding natural outcropping. Conveniently located just below the Teton village's Bridger Gondola, at the base of Rendezvous Mountain, Amangani enjoys sweeping views of the Teton peaks and the Snake River range and provides easy access to some damn good skiing. Amangani's Ski Lounge is staffed with a ski valet to assist with rentals and other details, and provides boot and glove warmers, ski racks, baskets for ski gloves, mittens and goggles to ensure that all equipment stays dry and comfortable. Of course warm and cold drinks are available all day, and a complimentary ski shuttle can whisk you back to Amangani's award-winning facilities at the drop of a hat.

Dispatch from the Luxury Travel Expo in Las Vegas: New Hotel Openings
We've got the skinny on new Vegas hotel openings. There's the hotly-anticipated Las Ramblas, positively aglow with star power, which I've been prone to drool over. The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino will squeeze onto the Strip right next door to the Bellagio, its condos and hotel ready in 2008. Steve Wynn's ambitions get more grandiose with the construction of Encore at Wynn Las Vegas, the 2,000-suite second tower which will be ready for 2008. And what a big year for Sin City! Loews is planning to open its first resort in Nevada; Loews Lake Las Vegas Resort will have 400 rooms, two outdoor pools with cabanas, restaurants galore, and a destination spa. Not to be outdone, the lovely Venetian will be dolled up with the addition of the Palazzo Casino Hotel, a new hotel and retail tower connecting to the classic Vegas hotel. Look out Wynn: Mr. Trump is developing a hotel sin casino right next door, scheduled to open next year. Lastly, W is joining the fray, opening its first hotel with casino in the Harmon Corridor in 2008. Just how big can the sprawling neon funland get?
Valentine's Day at the Library Hotel, New York
Cupid's (or Hallmark's?) big day can't get better than this. The Library Hotel in New York—possibly the single coolest themed hotel on the planet—is organized by the Dewey Decimal System (the archaic library classification system that has boggled more than a few student brains), thus the collection of 6,000 volumes is spread out in uniquely decorated guestrooms by topic. Social Sciences, Literature, Language, The Arts, Technology, you get the idea. The best Valentine's guestroom in the nation? Why room 800.01! Wholly devoted to Erotic Literature, it's packed with intriguing, erotic classics and furnishings. And now for the icing on the cake: The Library Hotel is offering a unique Erotica Package for $650 per night, based upon availability. Special gifts include: champagne on arrival, one dozen red roses, strawberries and whipped cream, Kama Sutra Love Essentials Package, Kama Sutra Massage Therapy Kit, Erotic Dice, a box of Godiva chocolates, Tantric Massage Video, two plush Library Hotel robes (for keeps!), and of course a volume of Erotica to take home with you.
(Thanks Alex!)
Kuwait Plans One-Kilometer Tall Skyscraper
The mind-blowing Burj Dubai project has just been one-upped by a bigger, badder one in Kuwait. This baby will take-- count 'em-- 20 years to build, and will dwarf the Burj Dubai, at twice the height of the world's current tallest building in Taipei. But I can't help but ask: Why stop at a measly kilometer, when you could shoot for two?
Dining in Greece: the Sumptuous Selene Restaurant in Santorini
December 15, 2005
By: Guest Writer
By Kristin
Looking for an ideal spot to pop the question? Or perhaps just an incredible, authentic Greek culinary experience? We were recommended to Selene by some Greek food connosieurs as the best restaurant on the island and we were not disappointed-- but delighted with our favorite meal of the entire trip (in a trip of much good eating). Try the Santorini salad, a twist on the normal Greek. Also try the Grouper - fresh and melts in the mouth. Don't forget the Pastitsio-- very hard to find this traditional dish, famous with the locals (we searched the whole island). To top all of this, you're dining on an amazing patio on the cliff of the city. Try beating that for romance!
Alternative Ski Destinations: the Julian Alps in Slovenia
Sick of the crowds on the slopes? Hop over the Austrian or Italian border to ski what the Alps used to look like. Imposing peaks blanketed in white, bordered by untouched forests and deep river gorges. The former Yugoslav republic is a peaceful gem just waiting to be discovered. Where to go? Kranjska Gora, which hosts an annual World Cup men's downhill competition, is next to a national park. Or Mount Kanin, the highest altitude in Slovenia, boasts the longest season: December-May 1. From Kanin, just 100 miles from the Adriatic, you can ski in three countries! (Austria's and Italy's neighboring resorts are right next door.)
Best New Business Hotels 2005
Get this. According to Forbes.com, the hotel-building biz in the US was lower than low this year, with only four new hotel openings in the luxury market. But hotel construction around the world is booming; thus seven of Forbes.com's top ten list are international. And without further ado, they are: The Intercontinental Financial Street (Beijing, China), Sofitel of Renmin Square (Xian, China), Hotel Fox (Denmark), The Four Seasons, Hong Kong, Shangri-La Hotel (New Delhi, India), Mandarin Oriental Tokyo, Park Hyatt Seoul, The Setai (Miami), The Shoreham (NYC), and the St. Regis Hotel San Francisco.

The Muncy Valley Hospital Auxiliary recently fulfilled a pledge of $200,000 made in 2008 toward the renovation and expansion of the hospital as part of Susquehanna Health's Project 2012.
It was the largest donation the MVH Auxiliary has pledged to date and it was satisfied early through funds raised by various events including the annual Lights of Love, Muncy Valley Hospital Lawn Party, Muncy Valley Hospital Golf Tournament, Crystal Lake Challenge, proceeds from the gift shop, book, uniform and vending machine sales and fundraisers sponsored by Susquehanna Health service partners.
The $200,000 donation to Project 2012 helped to support renovations to the Muncy Valley Hospital's second floor.
"I am overwhelmed by the Muncy Valley Hospital Auxiliary's continued dedication and support as well as the community and employee and physician service partners whose participation in these fundraisers allowed us to achieve these results earlier than anticipated," said Muncy Valley Hospital President Chris Ballard.
Since 2005, the Muncy Valley Hospital Auxiliary has donated more than $223,500 in support of various projects and equipment purchases for the hospital.
"The money that we donated to Project 2012 came from a lot of different places including the community and Susquehanna Health service partners," explained past Muncy Valley Hospital Auxiliary President Vivian Mills. "We live in a very caring community. This was such a community project and we couldn't have done it without them."

UNEP TNA Releases Guidebook on International Funding for Climate Change Mitigation
August 2012: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Project has released a guidebook, titled "Accessing International Financing for Climate Change Mitigation." The guidebook aims to assist developing countries in speeding up the transfer, deployment and diffusion of mitigation technologies, thereby enabling countries to contribute to climate change mitigation and reduce climate change impacts while pursuing national development goals.
The 142-page guidebook analyzes over 100 public and private funding sources, and presents their main features, application requirements and procedures. The guidebook also includes a general guidance section on the preparation of high quality project and programme proposals.
The TNA Project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by UNEP's Division of Technology, Industry and Economics (DTIE) and the UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development. The TNA aims to assist countries in determining their technology priorities regarding mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adaptation to climate change.

So, all in all, the new features are very nice, but do they really justify the development of a whole new game? Probably not. Thankfully, the game has one more trick up its sleeve, and it's a trick that defines the very concept of the game. In Brotherhood, Ezio has reached a legendary status. Among other assassins, he's an idol; a merciless killing machine feared but respected throughout the lands. As a result of his iconic status, Ezio can find and recruit impressionable young assassins to join his cause. At the heart of this feature are some fairly in depth role playing mechanics; Ezio can send the fledgling assassins off on missions where they earn experience and level up. Once they've reached a certain level, they can be called upon in game to do Ezio's dirty work. With a fully functioning brotherhood at his disposal, there's no need for Ezio to lift a finger.
The single-player is just one facet of the overall experience; Brotherhood allows players to plunge a knife into the back of other human controlled assassins. Indeed, for the first time in the series (if you exclude the crappy iPhone game) the main menu plays host to a multiplayer option. Here, the assassins that form the Brotherhood forget their allegiances to one another, and become instruments of multiplayer murder. It's an alluring prospect, but Assassin's Creed wasn't originally designed with multiplayer in mind. Just how effectively does the game bring together multiple players? With a lovely Ubisoft PR person to chaperone me to the front of a very long queue, I decided to find out.
Sitting down with seven other wannabe assassins, I was greeted with a short tutorial for a game mode entitled 'Wanted'. The object here was simple: to assassinate a specific target whilst avoiding being assassinated myself. The problem (and solution, depending on your situation) is that countless AI clones of each character wander about the city, meaning that finding the 'real' target is no easy task. A compass at the bottom of the screen will gradually lead you in the right direction, but if your target has decided to blend in with other characters of his ilk, then it's nigh on impossible to work out who you need to kill. A good assassin will train their eyes for giveaways; running in public, climbing up walls, changing clothes. All of these actions stand out like a sore thumb to any pursuer, and if spotted, they won't think twice before slitting your throat.
Often a target will notice your presence before you deliver the fatal blow, and they'll inevitably make a run for it. Once they start running, the calm and collected style of play maintained up until this point is thrown out of the window. The chase is on, and your target needs to be caught before they slip out of sight. If you're quick enough, all it takes is a quick tap of the assassinate button within range to put some points on the board. Each character has their own unique skills they bring into the game, such as knives, smoke grenades or disguises, but these should all be used as a last resort. If you're good at the game, nobody will even notice you're playing.
Assassin's Creed 2: Brotherhood is a fantastic stop gap on the way to AC3. It might seem like the game is merely a testing ground for multiplayer, but the brand new storyline and extensive Brotherhood features suggest otherwise. The range and quality of the upcoming multiplayer modes will likely play a huge role in how successful the game turns out, but from what I saw at E3, Assassin's Creed fans have every reason to be excited.
Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is out winter 2010, for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
