Quite and central place to stay in Edam, close to Volendam and Amsterdam. Extraordinary house bringing us in the intimacy and history of Annemieke, Onno and Moos!
Great days spend with teanagers.
I am deeply grateful to Annemieke for her warm welcome and practical approach to setting us up for a wonderful stay in her beautiful home. I felt that I had a friend that I could call on if I got into any difficulty during my three week stay with my 84 year old father. We loved the house, the garden and the delightful town of Edam. Everything that we could have needed had been thought of, including help with public transport and wonderful bicycles. I look forward to another visit some time so that I can share this special experience with my husband as well. Lastly, the sight of Onno's enormous wooden clogs by the kitchen door and the little black and white cat waiting impatiently for us when ever we came home completed the feeling that we really were in a lovely welcoming home. Thank-you very much Annemieke and Onno!
My family and I stayed for 2 days in Edam. We were greeted by Annemieke very good. Annemieke is very nice, open, and helpful. The hostess is still late evening even drove us to a Thai restaurant to order something to eat after we arrived in Edam. She showed us everything we need. Very professional, she even any info on restaurants, furthest attraction, etc.. abgehelfet in a folder. We got along very well. We talked on the way to the restaurant a lot and laughed a lot. The apartment is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I can only recommend it. We love to come back next time again.
Meine Familie und ich waren 2 Tage in Edam. Wir wurden von Annemieke sehr gut empfangen. Annemieke ist sehr nett, offen, und hilfbereit. Die Gastgeberin ist noch spät Abend mit uns sogar zu einem Thai-Restaurant gefahren, um etwas zum Essen zu bestellen, nachdem wir in Edam angekommen sind. Sie hat uns alles gezeigt, was wir brauchen. Sehr professionell hat sie sogar alle Infos über Restaurants, Sehenwürdigkeit, usw.. in einem Ordner abgehelfet. Wir haben uns sehr gut verstanden. Wir haben auf dem Weg zum Restaurant viel geredet und viel gelacht.
Die Wohnung ist schön dekoriert und sehr komfortable. Ich kann nur weiter empfehlen. Wir kommen nächstes Mal sehr gerne wieder.
Lovely house with a nostalgic flair, lovingly decorated in detail with all the amenities you need for a successful stay. Just a stone's throw away from the best restaurants in Edam. Romantic garden. Determined suitable for a longer stay. Congenial hostess, extremely courteous and helpful.

on March 17, 2013 - 4:26 PM
ALBANY – Democrats are resisting efforts by Senate Republicans to permit employers to offer a "training wage" to new workers, mostly teenagers and unskilled employees, instead of forcing them to boost the minimum wage for such workers if the wage floor is hiked.
The issue is among those being discussed in closed-door meetings this afternoon at the Capitol as Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and legislative leaders seek to resolve their remaining sticking points before lawmakers return to Albany on Monday.
Senate Republicans have warmed to the idea, after more than a year of opposition, of raising the state's $7.25 minimum wage, but only if it is linked to tax breaks, including possibly raising the dollar amount for dependent deductions on state income tax filings or boosting the child tax credit. They also envision various business tax breaks as part of the deal.
Also on the table is extending the expiration of a higher income tax bracket, which starts at $1 million for single filer taxpayers, that brings the state about $2 billion a year in revenues. That higher tax bracket, approved in December 2011, is due to expire in 2014, when Cuomo and the Legislature are up for re-election.
The governor is in Albany today, even though his public schedule released by his office last night said he was to be in the "New York City area."
Sen. Jeff Klein, the co-leader of the Senate, said there is still no deal on the minimum wage hike. But the Bronx Democrat, upon emerging from a session with Cuomo, said there is "an understanding that we have to do the minimum wage."
Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Manhattan Democrat, said talks are ongoing, but that "a lot of major issues" remain unresolved.
Asked the major sticking point, Silver said, "Time ... We have to conclude, so it's crunch time."
Lawmakers are trying to adopt a 2013 budget by this Thursday or Friday. To do so with Cuomo giving the usual three-day aging process for legislation – a process often ignored during the budget deliberations – bills would have to be printed by Tuesday night for a Friday final passage before lawmakers leave Albany for the religious holidays and a spring break.
The halls of the Capitol this afternoon are seeing a steady stream of legislative and administration fiscal staffs. Gone from most is the usual Albany suit, replaced by jeans, T-shirts, sweaters and sneakers as the prolonged talks make sleep the most sought-after commodity for negotiators in the final days.
On the minimum wage issue, the sides are trying to determine common ground for an amount of any hike, whether to phase it in over a few years, and whether it will be indexed for annual hikes based on the inflation rate.

Negra Modelo
|How Do You Say "Negra Modelo"?
Negra modelo
|Audio Examples and Explanations
|What is "Negra Modelo"?
Negra Modelo is a Mexican lager. 'Negra' is Spanish for 'black', and 'modelo' means 'model'. Unlike most Spanish words, 'modelo' is invariable – which means it ends in '–o' regardless of gender. This explains why 'negra' is feminine (ends in '-a') when 'modelo' seems to be a masculine noun, because it ends in '-o'. For people who know a little Spanish 'Negra Modelo' seems somehow wrong, because you expect the endings to agree.
Edit – please take a look at the comments. The explanation Patrick gives, namely that 'negra' refers to 'cerveza' (beer) makes very good sense to me. You still have an awkward juxtaposition of masculine and feminine endings – but these things are always easier to remember if there is a good reason for them.
I have given the correct pronunciation in Spanish, as well as an anglicized version: – it is up to you to choose how to say Negra Modelo.

Patrick Barnum April 28, 2012
While it's true that "modelo" can be translated as "model", its use in the phrase Negra Modelo is as a brand name. Grupo Modelo is a large Mexican brewery founded in 1925 which brews Negra Modelo, Modelo Especial and Modelo Light, among others. The feminine gender applies to "negra" because it modifies not the brand name but the product "beer" (cerveza). It's common to ask for a Negra Modelo (cerveza) just as we frequently request a Miller Light (beer) or a Cameron's Dark (lager).(reply)

Since the early 1980s, the numbers of Cuckoos has been in decline and this may be because the populations of some key host species, such as Dunnock and Meadow Pipit, have also declined. Consequently, the Cuckoo is now red list species.
Clement is the first of five cuckoos being tracked on their return migration by the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO), and featured in The Independent last week, to leave Europe behind.
Two days ago he crossed over the Mediterranean from south-eastern Spain to Algeria, and is now resting on the northern slopes of the Atlas mountains before the toughest part of his journey – crossing the Sahara desert.
With his fellow cuckoos Martin, Lyster, Kasper and Chris, all caught in East Anglia in May and fitted with ultra-light satellite tracking devices, Clement is part of a fascinating experiment which hopes to solve the last of the cuckoo's mysteries – where exactly the birds go in winter. Their progress can be followed in detail on their blogs on the BTO website, which are constantly updated.
The work is considered vital, because the cuckoo, whose call is one of the best-loved signals of springtime, is rapidly declining in Britain, having tumbled in numbers by 65 per cent between 1984 and 2009.
The birds may be disappearing because of a decline in their insect food in Britain, but it is also possible that they are running into difficulties on their African wintering grounds, or on the various intermediate "staging posts" they use to refuel on their 3,000-mile journeys. Habitat destruction could be to blame.
The satellite photo shows that his current location, a scrub-covered northern slope of the Atlas mountains in the Sidi-bel-Abbes region, is the very last vegetated area before the vast sandy and rocky expanses of the Sahara, the immense barrier which he will probably cross at night to escape the searing heat and lack of food.
Yes this is fascinating. I've been following the cuckoos' progress on the BTO's tracking site, since the project was mentioned on Springwatch.
Two of them are now crossing the Sahara.
Fascinating research, hopefully it will help provide clues to protecting cuckoos!
Very fascinating. I see that the trackers get ever smaller.
Latest news. See BBC
This is being featured on Breakfast on BBC 1 this morning. There was a report around 7.55am.
Wonderful! Signs of spring Doggie. Regardless of the snow and ice, my spirits can't be dampened at this time of year. Yay!
A good read, doggie. The section in The Independent on helping frozen pond creatures was interesting too.
If Kasper reads the long range weather forecast he will be staying for a while in warmer climes before that last push.Great to see the technology is working and helping the BTO gain important data.
Thanks for the link, Alan. It's fantastic what tachnology can do to improve our understanding of animal behaviour and habits. I'm going to be looking out for a Cuckoo this year as I've never seen one before, and seeing one would be great.
Alan - no, I didn't see the one at RVCP, I was too busy searching for the one at Bolton Ings! I'm going to have to check those sighting more often.
The first of the tracked cuckoos - Martin - has reached southern Spain
BTO Tracking cuckoos to Africa...and back again
Interesting topic, was out today at Stour Estuary near Harwich, Essex and just once I thought I heard a Cuckoo call, wasn't repeated so can't be 100%. Were a lot of Wood Pigeon about so can't rule that out but it was enough for me to stop and say that I had heard one.
The mention of cuckoos reminded me of these cuckoos. Are they back yet?
Clement is now unfortunately probably dead was the latest report from a couple of weeks ago

Hi all,
First of all I hope this is the right section of the forum and apologies if not.
Over the weekend I noticed a distinctive green bird that looks to me most like a parakeet. It is flying around the area near my flat and perching in a tree across the road. At first I thought I was going mad but I have seen it a couple of times now.
I suppose this is likely to be an escaped domestic pet. Is there anything that can be done to 'rescue' it?
Hi Mo and welcome to the forum. You have posted in the right place so well done.
Is the bird you saw like this?
If so, it is a Rose-ringed Parakeet which is pretty widespread in and around London particularly to the west and along the Thames Valley. They are an introduced species which has become a self sustaining feral population. Some people are getting concerned that they are becoming too numerous and there are ongoing studies to try to determine what effect they are having on indigenous wildlife.
If it's not one of these then it is most probably an escape from someones collection.
Hi Mo. Teejay is right, it'll be a Rose-ringed (or Ring-necked if you prefer) Parakeet. Their expanding UK population is the most northerly in the world. Their arrival in the UK has been anecdotally connected with the filming of "African Queen" back in 1950 when a number of them reportedly escaped from the Elstree film studios.
Other than occasional escapees the only other parrot species at large in the UK is the Monk Parakeet (Hertfordshire again strangely). Their habit of nesting in large colonies on electricity substations and transmission poles can play havoc with the power grid so the Government would like to ensure that their small local population doesn't expand.
Both species are on the General Licence authorising their lethal control subject to certain conditions.
Thanks both for your replies. TeeJay - it does look very much like the bird you have posted. I will have to see if I can catch a glimpse of the beak. John B - incredible to learn that not only are there feral populations of parakeets in the UK, but that they might possibly be traced back to 1950! You learn something every day.
The first confirmed breeding record (apart from an isolated incident in Norfolk in the 1850's) was in 1969 in Kent, south-east of London. There are all sorts of theories on why the species came to be in the wild in England, including the filmset mentioned by JohnB, and Jimi Hendrix releasing a few of them. The timing and location of the first breeding does discount all these rather intriguing theories, and the boring truth is likely to be that over time enough of them were released or escaped to allow enough of them to survive and to find each other to set up nesting pairs. And once they got started, the rest is history. I gather that Esher Rugby Club are nowadays scaring the birds, but at its peak, the roost at the club was anything up to 3,000 birds, which must have been quite a sight.
Mo, There must be some sporting connection. They started in the area of Esher Rugby Club as above, when I went to Twickenham last month they were the first bird I saw and I am going to Wimbledon tomorrow and know that they will be the main bird flying around Wimbledon park. It will give me something to look at while I spend 4 hours in the queue.
Nice looking bird but I am not sure we truly know their potential impact on our native species.
Unlike some introduced species the parakeets do seem to have predators - see video here of the Peregrine at Charing Cross Hospital making short work of one caught by the tiercel.
I'm moving to Suffolk soon but live currently in Richmond (Surrey). The parakeets around here are a real nuisance. They drown out the sound of songbirds and eat anything and everything. I've noticed too, several times, that they have a tendency to bully smaller birds away from food. Will we have to wait for some indigenous to be put on the danger list before these things are culled in some way?
I do admire their endurance but we've virtually lost Red Squirrels and Crayfish to 'foreign' invaders, Mink are devastating small mammals in some parts and it's all a little depressing.
Perhaps someone could come up with a parakeet-specific sterilising powder/liquid that we could add to bird food. That would be a humane way of protecting 'lesser' birds.

Former official charged in Texas DA slayings
KAUFMAN, Texas -- A former justice of the peace who was convicted of theft carried out a plot with his wife to kill the men who prosecuted him and ended his judicial career, authorities said Thursday.
Eric Lyle Williams, 46, and his wife, Kim Williams, are charged with capital murder in the shooting deaths of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, in March, and assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse in January, Sheriff David Byrnes announced at a news conference.
Authorities allege Williams was the gunman in the slayings. They said his 46-year-old wife was the getaway driver when her husband allegedly accosted Hasse on the street as he walked into work and fatally shot him. They said she was a passenger in late March when her husband drove to the McLelland home east of Dallas.
Eric Williams is being held on $23 million bond, and his wife is being held on $3 million bond. Online jail records do not indicate attorneys representing the couple.
Eric Williams has been jailed since he was arrested Saturday and charged with making a terroristic threat for allegedly e-mailing an anonymous threat to law officers one day after the McLellands were found dead.
Kim Williams was arrested Wednesday and charged with capital murder in the killings. An arrest affidavit contends she confessed to the killings and told investigators her husband was the gunman.
"It was basically a collaborative effort between Eric Williams and his wife," Byrnes said.
The sheriff added that Eric Williams is not speaking with investigators.
McLelland and Hasse had both participated in the prosecution of Eric Williams in 2012 on charges that he stole three computer monitors from an office building. A jury found Williams guilty.

I love potato pancakes topped with sour cream and applesauce.
The combination of sweet with savory is just spectacular to my taste buds. Adding a touch of creamy sour cream smoothness helps all the flavors play nice together- acting like a recess monitor.
So it makes complete sense to stir in a spoonful of applesauce with my potato leek soup and top it with sour cream!
I think potato pancake lovers will agree…

Genius. I've been looking a a bunch of potato leek soup recipes in prep for Thanksgiving, but it seemed they were missing something. I often mentally put the flavors together as I read a recipe, if you know what I mean. With the addition of the applesauce and sour cream it all now adds up. Great.

This article is a bit of a jaw dropper, but I really can't find much reason to disagree with him. I like the 1911, I really do, but I've never owned one, I've never even shot one. I've shot my Grandfather's Luger, that he "picked up off a kraut", but never the 1911. Nevertheless, the 1911 has been embedded in my head as outright Americana, so therefore, awesome....even though it kinda isn't.

Drainage infrastructure and hazards inventory
Elise Moore, P.E., CFM, Flood Control/Traffic Section Chief, Pinal County Department of Public Works, Florence, Arizona; Hernan Aristizabal, P.E., CFM, Director of Water Resources, and Chris Christensen, MAS-GIS, Senior GIS Analyst, Entellus, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona
Over the last several decades, Arizona has experienced tremendous growth, recording the second-highest statewide population growth rate in the nation, second only to Nevada in 2006. The majority of this growth has been concentrated between Prescott in the northwest through the Phoenix Metro area to Tucson in the southeast, an area referred to as the Sun Corridor. Centrally located within the Sun Corridor lies the (until recently) relatively undeveloped Pinal County.
Pinal County is a rural county of approximately 5,000 square miles, and in the year 2000, home to just under 180,000 people. By 2007, the County had surpassed 300,000 residents, an approximate seventy percent increase. This made Pinal County the fastest-growing county in the nation as determined by the U.S. Census Bureau. Much of the population increase can be attributed to development pressure from the Phoenix Metro area in the northwest and Tucson area in the southeast. In the midst of the housing boom, thousands of acres of desert rangeland and agricultural fields were transformed into urban development. This sudden increase in development was difficult for the County to handle, and it became apparent that as the washes and ditches of the desert and agricultural fields gave way to drainage channels and culverts of the new urbanization, it was increasingly critical to inventory the drainage infrastructure to get a better handle on the drainage system before it became unmanageable.
The County needed to know the extent of the existing drainage infrastructure and how this infrastructure affects the drainage patterns of the County. The County was only aware of the structures that they maintain, such as some culverts, bridges, and wet crossings along County roads. However, these County-maintained and owned structures constitute a small fraction of the total existing drainage infrastructure, the larger portion of which are either privately owned, or owned and maintained by other public agencies.
|Schnepf Bridge over Queen Creek Wash, one of the many drainage structures inventoried as part of the Pinal County ADMP, experienced over ten feet of scour during a single storm event.
In order to accomplish this task, the County hired Entellus, Inc. to develop a comprehensive drainage facilities inventory (of particular interest were regionally significant structures) and a countywide Area Drainage Master Plan (ADMP). The goals of the inventory and ADMP were to gather information on both private and public agency structures, acquire a better understanding of current drainage conditions, and identify critical areas where improvement was needed. This would also help the County with enforcing the maintenance of drainage structures.
Given the rural nature and history of Pinal County, the majority of the pre-housing boom drainage structures were constructed in support of the ranching and farming operations. Ranchers constructed stockponds, small- to medium-sized impoundment areas utilized to capture surface runoff to water cattle, and farmers built intricate systems of canals and dikes to both irrigate and protect their crops. The latter has the most significant impact to the drainage system by potentially rerouting historic ephemeral flows. The railroads, mining companies, developers, ADOT and even the County themselves play a role in the history of Pinal drainage. Unfortunately, there is limited information concerning the majority of these drainage structures, and the accuracy of the information available is somewhat questionable.
Since the County was interested in the drainage system and not just the perceived drainage infrastructure, the question arose: What is a drainage structure? Though the answer seems obvious—dams, roadway crossings, drainage channels, etc.—other man-made structures that may not have been intended for drainage purposes often, by their very nature, become drainage structures by intercepting runoff or otherwise changing the course of the natural drainage pattern. Roadway and railroad embankments, irrigation canals, mining pits, fences and others all fall within this category. The ADMP identified all major man-made features that impact the natural drainage system regardless of ownership or original intent of the structure.
Due to the lack of information and questionable accuracy available for the drainage infrastructure, it was decided early on in the project that the drainage facilities inventory would primarily encompass field data collection. Data collection was not limited to type, size and shape of the structure, but incorporated conditions both structurally and of the surrounding area that would help the County prioritize maintenance of the inventoried structures. The facilities inventory consisted of three basic steps:
|Field personnel utilize a tablet PC with GPS and a built-in camera to collect the facility inventory data. The operator records his observations on the GIS forms and takes photographs of the structures.
First, the approximate location of potential structures was identified in the office utilizing ArcMap. Aerial photos, hydrologic data generated utilizing ArcHydro, as-builts, design reports and other information assisted in the identification of these structures. Next, the potential locations were loaded onto the field tablet PC which is equipped with a GPS unit and field camera directly linked to ArcPad. Field personnel then locate the drainage structures, creating a feature in ArcPad and populate preset fields with information about the structure. Field photos were taken and linked directly to each structure. Field personnel are trained to find and identify drainage facilities that may not have been identified in the office. The final step in the facility inventory consists of an office check where an independent operator checked the field data against other available information (i.e., aerial photography, as-built drawings, design reports, etc.). The data is then either accepted or marked for additional field confirmation.
During the first two phases of this four-phase project, several thousand structures were identified, located and entered into the County's GIS system where the information is available to County personnel. Additionally, the data was converted into KLM format which can be viewed in Google Earth and is available to any user with Internet access. The facility inventory provides the County with a tool to schedule maintenance for their own facilities and to enforce maintenance requirements from other entities. However, the inventory of these facilities by itself does not adequately describe the County's drainage system. Additional information is required in order to understand the complete drainage system of the County. The ADMP also identified specific flood hazards and special consideration areas associated with both man-made structures as well as natural drainage conditions. Items of particular interest included ponding areas, areas downstream from embankments, split flow and uncertain flow path areas, sheet flow areas, alluvial fans, earth fissure locations and agricultural areas.
The ponding areas were developed based on physical evidence of ponding, while the areas downstream of embankments were identified to describe areas that would most severely be affected by an embankment structure failure. Sheet flow, split flow, alluvial fans, and fissures identify natural flow patterns and hazards that have unique characteristics and require special attention. Agricultural areas were also identified due to the significant effect that the irrigation infrastructure has on the natural drainage system, the amount of storage that can potentially be provided by these agricultural areas as well as the likelihood of increasing historical flows once these areas are developed and the fields are no longer available for stormwater storage.
Associated with these hazard areas, the ADMP developed a set of "rules of development" to assist the County and municipalities in guiding and regulating new development. These rules of development provide guidelines for analysis that will help protect the new development from the identified drainage hazards and minimize negative impacts to surrounding properties. The County now has a complete package consisting of a facilities inventory, identified drainage hazards and rules of development. These tools will assist the County in minimizing drainage problems, providing and enforcing maintenance on drainage infrastructure, and guiding the integration of future development into the County's drainage system.

Changing Exhibits
Changing galleries feature temporary exhibits. Now featuring:
Legend City
The entire changing exhibition space in the Tempe History Museum will be dedicated to telling the story of Arizona's very own theme park, Legend City, from Nov. 6, 2015 - Oct. 2, 2016.
It's the museum's privilege to display information and hundreds of pieces of memorabilia and photos including portions of actual amusement rides, staff costumes, concert tickets and more. Take a walk on the wild side in a re-creation of the Legend City Dutchman's Shack- the park's famous tilt house, or stare into the eyes of Kurley Q, the ventriloquist dummy used by Legend City performer and Miss America 1965, Vonda Kay Van Dyke.


text: Explore The far north The Nam Ou River Valley Oudomxai Luang Namtha and around Muang Sing and around Houayxai and around Pakbeng and around Share Resting at the foot of a striking red-faced cliff, amid towering blue-green limestone escarpments, the dusty town of NONG KHIAW on the banks of the Nam Ou River lies smack in the middle of some of the most dramatic scenery in Indochina. The relatively slow advent of tourism here has allowed it to retain its village-like charm; it's a great place to lose a few days, preferably watching the river from your own private balcony. Though there's not a great deal to the town itself, Nong Khiaw makes a good base for day-trips in the scenic surrounding countryside, though it's also a lovely place to just do nothing for a few days. The old town is worth a wander – heading left at the T-junction immediately after the bridge will take you along the rather dusty road to the morning market, which is worth a look; the town temple is situated on the street behind. One day-trip that can be done independently is to the Pathok Caves, 2.5km north of town, where villagers hid during the Second Indochina War. The easy walk takes you along quiet Route 1 past wooden village houses as the scenery becomes gradually more dramatic, with limestone karsts rising around you. The caves are indicated by a small blue sign on the right; buy your ticket from the little wooden hut before the bamboo bridge and you're then free to explore the caves by yourself. They are surprisingly extensive and very dark, so bring a torch or hire one from the hut. Mountain bikes can be hired from the northern side of the bridge, next to Vongmany Restaurant, and are well recommended for exploring the area further. There's an excellent herbal sauna and massage place in town, just north of the turning to Sunset Guesthouse. Sabai Sabai, run by the family of Hom at Tiger Trail is the ideal place to unwind, with the fragrant steam bath (using cinnamon, lemongrass, eucalyptus and basil, among other things) leaving you utterly relaxed.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Lou Piniella was offered the job as manager of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on Tuesday and now must decide whether he wants to work at home or merely closer to it.
Details of the deal were not disclosed, but it was believed to be a three- or four-year offer with an average salary that is more than the $2.5 million Piniella was to earn as manager of the Seattle Mariners in 2003.
Piniella lives in Tampa in the off-season and wants to work closer to his family. He is also being pursued by the New York Mets.

Getting to grips with Linux Permissions
From the vault:This article first appeared in issue #1 (October 2000). You'll also find this article on our 10-year anniversary Archive DVD included in issue #120 (November 2010).
With any operating system it is important to ensure that users remain in control of their files and directories and are prevented from tampering with those belonging to other users, or the system. This is what the Linux permissions system is all about, as Jono Bacon explains.
The 10-year anniversary issue hits newsstands starting:
Europe: October 4
North America: October 29
Australia: November 29

Permissions are at the heart of how Linux works. Some operating systems (such as MS-DOS and some variants of Microsoft Windows) treat all files in the same way. This means that any user can change any file. Usually, there is only one kind of user.

Churches in the Czech Republic are celebrating a big victory this week. The country's highest court upheld a government plan to pay billions of dollars to religious groups.
The money is compensation for property the former Communist regime seized from the groups.
The churches have been fighting this battle since the 1989 fall of Communism.
Under the plan, 16 religious groups, including Catholics, Protestants and Jews, will get $3 billion over the next 30 years.
They will also get 56 percent of their property now held by the state.

Ohio's Democrat elections chief has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide if the state must help counties verify voter eligibility.
Secretary of State Jennifer Bronner filed an appeal to the highest court, Thursday, after she was ordered to verity thoursands of new voter registrants.
"If the 6th Circuit's decision is allowed to stand, an untold number of legitimate voters in Ohio will be forced to re-establish the bona fides of their vote before the county boards of elections, or they will stay home out of frustration or confusion," Bronner said.
The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati made the decision in favor of the Ohio Republican Party, Tuesday, saying it would help election officials sort out mismatches and hopefully prevent voter fraud.
This year there were discrepancies with nearly one in three newly registered voters in Ohio.
That's 200,000 voters whose reported information did not match motor vehicle or social security records.

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

COLUMBIA, S.C. - The Department of Social Services director for Richland County is leaving the job amid questions about two children's deaths.
The agency confirmed Thursday that Elizabeth Stroup is stepping down as director to take a new DSS job in York County. DSS says the foster care job is closer to Stroup's home.
A Senate panel investigating the agency has been critical of workers' caseloads, particularly in Richland County.
Four-year-old Robert Guinyard Jr. died last summer, three months after Stroup become director. His parents were sentenced last month to life in prison for murder.
DSS was criticized during the trial. Family members, friends and doctors said they had asked unsuccessfully for DSS to intervene.
State Director Elizabeth Koller resigned earlier this month. She has testified that Richland County DSS has chronic issues.

On Health and Becoming Bionic
February 3, 2013 - Ray Tsuchiyama
On a recent visit to a golf driving range, spouse C. and myself encountered a friend who was looking much fitter and healthier. He explained that he had a hip transplant surgical procedure and while he was in the hospital (and during his recovery), he had lost 30 pounds. My spouse C. commented that if I lost that much I would look like an excellent Public Relations model for the dangers of anorexia.
Although I did not press for details of his surgery, he was excited to tell us that while he felt nothing below his waist and had downed a concoction of mind-altering and pain-numbing drugs, he still heard loud banging, like a plumber with a hammer straightening a pipe to fit into a drainage sink. He realized that his doctor was just forcing the titanium ball and rod into place into the hipbone, and while the strenuous activity did not cause any pain, he was alarmed that such a forceful alignment took place in a sterile, quiet surgical room in a Honolulu hospital.
Luckily, the hip replacement procedure was successful, and he was walking about with a slight limp, without the great pain he was suffering just a month before (the 30-pound weight loss also helped, I am sure).
By coincidence another friend had an identical surgery and flew back to Maui last week. I spoke to him on the day he did not have to drink his medications. He is a rather tall individual, so I did not even wanted to imagine how his lanky frame was moved to a car, then to the airport, and into the plane, then off to the airport and driven back to his Up-Country home. He was beginning Physical Therapy and he was sounding well, and was planning to return to work next mid-week.
Of course, my friend added, since his body contained a ball and rod made of highly-polished light-weight titanium, he was resigned (forever!) to stop and ask for a "pat-down" at the airport security line.
In one surgical operation he had become a bionic man – and was different than me and others.

Social Media Bigwigs Reveal Advertising Tactics
Back in the day, advertising was supposed to be kinda sneaky — yeah, we knew companies were directing ads at us consumers in an effort to get us to buy stuff, but no one talked about it. Now, social media heavies like Twitter, Zynga (makers of Farmville, Mafia Wars and other time leechers) and LinkedIn are being totally open about their efforts.
FTC Makes Twitter Promise Not To Mislead Customers About Privacy
Twitter has settled a Federal Trade Commission investigation, which started after a hacker gained access to a number of Twitter accounts (including President Barack Obama's) and sent out fake tweets from those addresses. Under the terms of the settlement, Twitter "will be barred for 20 years from misleading consumers about the extent to which it maintains and protects the security, privacy and confidentiality of nonpublic consumer information." We don't know what happens in year 21.

Can't say I hate the man without walking a mile in his shoes, but the boxing business was never considered the most moral, ethical, and honorable industry to begin with. He got caught up in some shady dealings of his own doing and paid the price publicly for it. Now everyone knows his past.
He's been the door opener for a lot of fighters' careers, but any big time, publicly known, business man will have his detractors and will be vilified in public by default. Just ask Don Trump and Don King.
He made himself look foolish for trying to defend Margarito, but what promoter wouldn't if the investment in him was solid?
Love him or hate him, it is what it is.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Bob Arum. I wish I had that man energy when I am his age, matter of fact I wish I will be just alive... I think he one of the last real promoters left. And, Bob has always been Bob with his hyperbole **** that never bothered me at all. I do think he is getting old now, I think he is letting his emotions get the best of him now. And, that was the main reason he handled the Pac-Mayweather negotiations horrible. He let his emotions get the best of him. And, what made it worst is that for most of the time he was not even in in charge of the negotiations. But, he just couldn't stay away from the media.

The Company That David Barton Keeps
Later this month, a Religious Right gathering is scheduled to take place in Texas called "San Antonio in Black, White, and Brown" which, as the name suggests, is aimed at unifying the White, Black, and Hispanic communities in order to establish a "Biblical worldview" in the city:
David Barton and Harry Jackson will be among the speakers at this event, sharing the stage with several other figures who played high-profile roles in Gov. Rick Perry's Dominionist-dominated "The Response" prayer rally back in 2011, including Doug Stringer and, more interestingly, Alice Patterson of Justice At The Gates.
Patterson not only has deep ties to Perry (so much so that she was welcomed on stage by him during his prayer rally) but has also been working with Barton for years to find ways to convince Black voters to support the Republican Party ... because the Democratic Party is controlled by demons, as we noted when we wrote about her book a few years back:
In fact, Patterson wrote a whole book about it which I have just finished reading called "Bridging the Racial and Political Divide: How Godly Politics Can Transform a Nation" in which mentions how she went to hear Chuck Pierce speak in Louisiana where he preached on "Saul Structures" at which points she realized that the Democratic Party is "an invisible network of evil comprising an unholy structure" that is, quite literally, controlled by demonic forces:
As Chuck described Saul Structures, my thoughts raced to politics. "Oh my God, Chuck is describing the Democratic Party!" This was the first time I'd ever considered that an evil structure could be connected to and empowered by a political party ... One strong fallen angel cannot wreak havoc on an entire nation by himself. He needs a network of wicked forces to restrain the Church and to deceive the masses. Unlike the Holy Spirit, who is everywhere at once and can speak to millions of people simultaneously, the devil can only be in one place at a time. By himself Satan would be totally ineffective, but in cooperation with other powers of darkness he erects structures to deceive and manipulate entire nations ... At the time I was listening to Chuck Pierce in Louisiana, I hadn't given any thought at all to strongholds in political parties. If I had ever thought about it, of course, it would have made sense, but it was new information. As Chuck's words began to sink in, I asked the "Lord, Father, what is the demonic structure behind the Democratic Party?"
Patterson goes on to explain that "the demonic structure behind the Democratic Party" is in fact "the Jezebel structure" which is rooted in long-ago Democratic support for slavery and which remains today because of the party's support for reproductive and gay rights.

Apple's iMessage Down For Many Today, But Is That Really A Big Deal?Cecily Kellogg
Today a friend's family member had a minor health crisis, so she immediately sent out a text message to our little iMessage group of women (here to support each other in just this sort of crisis).
Unfortunately, the messages of support and jokes and questions got snagged up in Apple's mini melt down today, causing the order to be out of sync and confusing and at times things seemed much worse than they wore.
Obviously it wasn't a life or death situation, (thank goodness) and it's certainly evidence of our over-reliance on technology but it was frustrating nonetheless.
According to Apple Support, iMessage (along with Facetime) was down for about five hours for some people today, resolving around 8:20pm today. Twitter was rife with complaints, because apparently no one was getting the fail whale, and some of the complaints were rather hilarious.
Interestingly, in the report on the issue by The Next Web they closed with this:
If you're wondering why we continue to report on the status of iMessage outages, you can check out this piece from back when Apple was facing the first backlash against its Maps issues. Apple, as a service company, has a responsibility to get this right. If it wants iMessage to be a default communications method, it needs to have near 100% uptime. It's not too bad overall, but there are still regular outages.
I don't know; it seems to me that, in general, companies like Apple manage to keep billions and billions of bits of data flowing nearly all the time. So while it's frustrating that it wasn't working for a while today, I really think instead of complaining maybe we can all back up a bit and spend a bit being amazed at the stuff technology can do today.
Or maybe I'm just feeling zen. What say you?

The most impressive part of Port Richmond's 76-66 PSAL win over Tottenville Friday night is up for debate, whether it be PR's 14 3-pointers or the 26 turnovers the Raiders forced.
But there's no question the suddenly-hot Raiders are playing the best basketball the school has seen in at least a couple of years. After going 2-22 last year and starting 0-4 this season, PR has won six of its last seven. And while the Raiders have several dangerous long-range shooters, coach Frank Guglielmo knows the turnaround is primarily due to the improvements made on the defensive end.
Any defense Guglielmo threw at the Tots worked due to the diligence of the defenders. Especially the half-court trap, which caused much havoc.
"That's as well as we've played (the trap) the entire year," said Guglielmo, whose team is now 3-3 in the PSAL and 6-5 overall. "Things are starting to come together. We're shooting better, and defending better. It's what I was hoping for. I knew that once we had the defensive side squared away, it would help the on the offensive side."
It has aided Guglielmo immensely to have Josh Wahnon and Roberto Alicea move up to varsity this season. Wahnon has proven quite an offensive threat, and he displayed his long-range ability by netting six 3-pointers en route to a team-high 25 points. Alicea found the open man and contributed along with the others on the defensive end.
"Alicea was the point guard and Josh played (shooting guard and small forward) on the JV," said Guglielmo. "Josh gives us size and defense, and he has unlimited range."
After a close first quarter, PR's defensive pressure caused Tottenville to throw the ball away on several possessions in the second stanza. Wahnon connected on two treys while Odira Onwyka scored off a steal and nailed a trey during a 16-7 run as PR went up 29-21.
The Raiders led by eight at halftime, but a 16-0 run early in the third quarter, fueled by more defensive pressure, pretty much put things away. Onwyka (18 points) nailed a trey, Alicea scored off James Revilla's steal and pass, and Wahnon hit consecutive threes before Revilla scored again from downtown off a turnover. When Manny Ogunjemilusi finished the run with a layup off another turnover, it was 51-30 with six minutes left in the quarter.
"I like to get set and let the point guards set me up," said Wahnon, who is averaging a shade under 15 points per game. "We've been talking on defense, and all five guys on the court are doing the job, especially with the press."
PR kept Tottenville at arm's length the rest of the way, and led by 18 before the Pirates scored the last eight points in the final minute.
Meanwhile, Tot center Nakye Sanders scored 27 points and beat smaller PR off the glass. Without a large presence inside, PR must continue to score from deep and employ pressure on defense to remain successful.
"We have good shooters and we won't force it inside when our strength is on the perimeter," said Guglielmo, whose team was 14-for-30 from downtown. "That's who we are."

A program being taught in Tiffin and Fostoria is offering students information in 11 resource areas, such as finances, integrity, motivation and trust.
Sharon George, director of Seneca County Family & Children First Council, is offering "Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World" to students for the first time. It previously had been geared only toward adults.
George said it is a wonderful program because it is solution-based, and the program is designed to reduce judgment. She said she thinks the program offers hope and education.

"It's solution-based because it empowers (them) to build their own resources," she said.
The idea to bring "Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World" to the area started with a mayoral task force and community partners looking at issues Seneca County and Tiffin residents face. They talked about poverty and situational poverty, and their fear of people falling into generational poverty, she said.
George became a certified trainer for the program and said in a perfect world, the program would be introduced at a younger age.
This school year, she started offering the program to students.
George started teaching the pilot program in the fall to 21 students enrolled in Fostoria City Schools' transitional school. The students are divided into two classes.
"I go there once a week in Fostoria," she said.
George said her hope always is to expand and offer the program to other schools, but she wanted to complete the pilot year and didn't approach other schools. A task force member was excited about the program and talked to a Tiffin City Schools official about it, and George met with administrators to discuss starting the program in Tiffin City Schools.
"We landed with their freshman PRIDE group," she said.
George started teaching the program at Columbian last week and teaches the class Wednesday and Thursday.
"We're just happy that Sharon's been able to provide this to our students," said Scott Urban, director of instruction and personnel for Tiffin City Schools.
Urban said students in the People Reaching Individual Dreams in Education intervention program primarily are freshmen. The program provides a team approach toward educating students in which the teachers work collaboratively.
The teachers, in addition to teaching, are understanding what issues students are facing, which could include social, emotional and academic problems. They work toward solving the issues, Urban said.
"Their main focus is for the students to learn responsibility and accountability for their education," he said.
The PRIDE program is housed in the modular unit beside Columbian.
"They bring in community speakers. They take field trips that are somewhat unique. ... They do some outreach. They go to the sharing kitchen, (and) they go to St. Francis," Urban said.
The "Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World" program comes at no cost to the schools because National Machinery Foundation, Tiffin Charitable Foundation, Heidelberg University and Tiffin University donated money to the project. Also, Seneca County was a pilot county for a family and civic engagement grant from the state and received funding.
"This is one of the strategies we wrote into that grant," George said.
In Fostoria, there is a class for adults. All 12 participants have students in Fostoria City Schools, and four of the 12 have children who are freshmen participating in the student program, George said.
The plan in Tiffin, she said, is to offer an adult class for parents of students in the PRIDE program.
"The administration will be getting some information out to them. ... That gives it that holistic approach," she said.
Urban said George has been involved with Tiffin City Schools' family and civic engagement plans, so she helped the staff design plans to help increase the district's graduation and attendance rates.
"She's passionate about helping people toward a better life," he said.

The Rorschach in Practice is presented to the reader as being an example of the British development of the test with a markedly psychoanalytic emphasis. Miss Alcock is a child psychotherapist who is described in the Foreword as ". . . the outstanding British exponent of the Rorschach method." However, if this be true, this volume should reassure those who have questions as to the results of individual variations in the use of the Rorschach. This writer finds a great deal of congruence with American approaches to and uses of the Rorschach method in this well-written and useful book.
There is a brief discourse upon the theoretical foundation of the Rorschach which is followed by an integration of many of the points of information which have formerly either been scattered through the literature or not formally written down. This book contains many of those points of administration and interpretation which previously were

Congratulations to Derek Kilmer, of Kilmer's Farm Market in Inwood, for taking part in the National Virtual Conversation that kicked off the U.S. Department of Agriculture's website highlighting local food systems and regional buying systems "Know Your Food, Know Your Farmer."
Kilmer offers 126 food items to local school systems, the VA Medical Center, nursing homes and the D.C. Central Kitchen. Kilmer has developed a system to deliver quality foods, many locally grown, to provide nutritious meals to children, veterans and others.
Many of our area farmer's markets will be opening soon to give us all a chance to "Know Your Food, Know Your Farmer" where you can buy locally grown products, get to know your local farmer and support our local agriculture industry.
Are you advertising to pet owners? According to the American Pet Products Association, Americans spent $50.96 billion on their pets in 2011. Food and vet costs accounted for 65 percent of the spending. The service category - grooming, boarding, pet sitting and day care - grew 7.9 percent. In 2011, spending on pets was up 5.3 percent from 2010.
According to some media surveys, there has been a decrease of nine minutes a day of television viewing by the younger audiences. It is important to keep on top of media trends to help any business owner spend their advertising dollars wisely. Remember, first you need to identify your targeted customer base, then find the media to help you best reach that base.
The Journal's Design An Ad Contest is a great way for a business to see advertising through a child's eyes and a chance for kids to design ads they think local businesses should use.
May 7 will be the annual VIZZI Awards at the Holiday Inn where our talented local school students show off their graphic-art skills. It's always interesting to see the wide range of talents our local schools are producing that might turn into a business opportunity.

Is Australia's Gift to the Royal NewlyWeds a Sign of the Changing Times?
Australia has announced that it's (i.e. the country's) present to Will and Kate for their Royal Wedding will be a $25,000 donation, in their name, to the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS). (That's a picture of Will boarding a RFDS plane on the left)
Personally, I would have gotten the future boss something slightly bigger for his wedding but asking people to donate to charity in lieu of buying presents is a touching gesture by the soon to be newly-weds.
It should be said, this not something new and reflects a changing trend that I've noticed at Australian weddings, funerals and other poignant occasions.
Instead of the traditional gift giving or flowers, people are more comfortable than ever before asking for money to be directed to a specific cause.
The rationale behind this is simple and probably indicative of our times – less waste, more efficient – even if it calls on a little less creativity from the gift giver than in the past.
Of course the giving of money is nothing new in many cultures around the world, but for most countries that drew on English sensibilities during their formation, the sheer gaucheness of asking for money rather than accepting what your guest has offered as a present, finally seems to be evaporating.
So, what are your thoughts on the topic?
When it comes to presents, is it better to give money for a particular purpose or do you still prefer the personal touch associated with selecting and giving a present?
And what of Australia's $25,000 donation. Do you think the country should have donated more?
