(Update, 7 p.m.: This story has been updated with a response from a city official.)
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's been nearly four months since the Bloomberg administration bowed to public pressure and pulled the plug on its plan to site a waste-to-energy transfer station at the former Fresh Kills landfill.
In the process it bumped back -- to today -- the due date for Requests for Proposals (RFP) from prospective vendors and contractors interested in building a waste station somewhere in the five boroughs, or within an 80-mile radius of the city. Exactly where remains unknown.
But one thing is for sure: It won't be built at Fresh Kills, which continues to be touted by the Bloomberg administration as a future world-class park.
State law closed Fresh Kills for good in 2001 -- something a bi-partisan group of elected officials reminded Mayor Michael Bloomberg of at a face-down, albeit a polite one, at the old dump back in April.
The law -- inked by the late state Sen. John Marchi, a Republican, and now-Federal Judge Eric Vitaliano, then a Democratic Assembly member -- closed Fresh Kills to any form of trash disposal in the future.
City Sanitation Department spokeswoman Kathy Dawkins was unable Thursday to provide information about who has responded to the RFP or where the waste station might be sited.
"Information about an ongoing public procurement process, including the number of proposals received, is not available until the RFP process is completed to ensure the process is completed in accordance with city rules and proprietary information from private companies is not improperly disseminated," said Ms. Dawkins.
"The Fresh Kills site on Staten Island has been rescinded as (an) option for proposals," she added. "In the RFP, the responders are required to propose any other site in New York City or 80 miles within driving distance from the city."
Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island), the foremost critic of the failed plan, did weigh in, saying he is "relieved that nothing is slated for Fresh Kills."
Added Oddo: "My hope is that this emerging technology is first tested in a community gladly willing to house this trial run."

Male-Female Labour Market Participation and Wage Differentials in Greece

University of Melbourne - Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA)
Labour, Vol. 16, pp. 771-801, 2002
This paper is an empirical study of the development of labour market participation and wage differentials between males and females in Greece between 1988 and 1994. There is little known about the position of women in the Greek labour market. This paper uses survey data generated by the Greek National Statistical Service. The decision to engage in paid employment and the resulting remuneration are studied using selectivity-corrected earnings estimations. Oaxaca and Ransom decompositions and counterfactual analysis show that the adverse treatment of female labour market participation is the largest identifiable reason why the wage gap is there and why it increased between 1988 and 1994.

John Mark Hall (born September 14, 1969) is the lead vocalist for the Georgia-based contemporary Christian music group Casting Crowns, a seven-member group composed entirely of youth pastors.
Early childhood[edit]
Hall was diagnosed with learning disablilites as a child, including attention deficit disorder just before third grade .[citation needed][clarification needed] He also was diagnosed with dyslexia.[2][clarification needed] Mark defines himself as "a broken person made whole". He talks about his trials in his book Lifestories.[citation needed]
Early Ministry[edit]
Hall served as youth pastor to the First Baptist Church of Samson, Alabama and other churches while pursuing a music degree at the Baptist College of Florida. Upon earning his degree, Mark and his wife Melanie moved to Loganville, Georgia, where he served as the Minister of Music and Students at Center Hill Baptist Church. In each church he started a youth band as a way to involve students in a ministry that would allow them to use their musical talents and interests. Hall would continue this practice during his tenure at the First Baptist Church of Daytona Beach, Florida.
The Beginning of Casting Crowns[edit]
Casting Crowns began as the student worship band that Hall formed while he was serving at First Baptist Daytona Beach in 1999. As in previous churches, Mark was the lead singer and songwriter; other members would go on to write songs for the group as well. Other members at that time included: Juan DeVevo (guitar), Melodee DeVevo (vocals and violin), Hector Cervantes (guitar), and Darren Hughes (production manager).
Return to Georgia[edit]
After two years of service in Florida, Mark Hall and Casting Crowns moved to Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church in McDonough, Georgia. Almost immediately upon arriving, two others joined the band — Chris Huffman (bass guitar), and Megan Garrett (keyboard, vocals, accordion). A year later, Andy Williams joined, completing Casting Crowns.
The band recorded four studio records and three live records that were mainly distributed in the Atlanta area and received much praise.[citation needed] "There was the temptation to send our CDs to record companies," Hall says, "but we prayed about it and came to the realization we needed to keep doing our music our way."
Casting Crowns[edit]
Mark and the rest of the band say they had no desire to get into the music business. Mark was focused as a youth pastor and felt that that was where God wanted him to be.
In 2003, The Casting Crowns debuted their self-titled album, full of an edgy-pop sound and rich, heart-felt lyrics, with Miller and Chapman serving as co-producers. Their first single, "If We Are The Body," which challenges Christians in the church to truly look at the needs of people around them, took off fast and set the group on a whirlwind of activity. He received e-mails from pastors and their wives telling them of the impact their song was having in their youth group and with their students.
Hall's fundamental message is: "I want to shake people up and help them see that Jesus is not a religion, and God is not a book," Hall says. "You can't pray to a book and you can't draw strength from an idea or standard. If there's no relationship with Jesus as a person to you, you're in trouble. It's about life, not religion. It's about relationships, not books."
Melanie, Mark's wife of 19 years, became the band's tour manager. Mark affectionately refers to her as "the other half of my brain."
Record label[edit]
In 2015, Hall established, along with Mark A. Miller, the M2T Records (Made to Thrive), and the first artist they signed together was Hannah Kerr.[3]
Mark Hall received several Dove Award nominations at the 36th GMA Dove Awards. In 2007, Hall was nominated to a Dove Award for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 38th GMA Dove Awards. The Casting Crowns song "Praise You In This Storm", written by Hall, was also nominated for Song of the Year.
The next year, Hall collected five trophies at the 2008 39th GMA Dove Awards.[4] Hall, who was that night's leading nominee with six, won Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "East to West," which he co-wrote with Kevin Herms.
His participation on the multi-artist worship project Glory Revealed brought Hall individual honors for Special Event Album of the Year for the CD, as well as Inspirational Recorded Song of the Year for "By His Wounds."
His band also had four nominations and won three: Group of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year for The Altar and the Door and Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year for "East to West."

Summerville received a clean opinion in its 2012 audit, Town Council heard Wednesday.
The town ended the year with a $1.8 million surplus in its general fund.
The money was added to the fund balance, the town's savings, which now stands at $15.3 million.
Although the 2012 budget as originally written showed a deficit, council amended it partway through the year to reflect revenues coming in higher than expected and a cut in expenditures.
The hospitality and local accommodations tax fund shrank considerably because council used $3 million to pay off the parking garage debt, Charlotte Allen of WebsterRogers said.
The sanitation fee fund was the only fund to end the year with a deficit, she said. It was short $118,000.
Council will probably begin discussing the 2014 budget at a workshop in August.

The DS doesn't have any internal memory, the save is stored on the cartridge itself, just like the Gameboy.
I just bought a used copy of Elite Beat Agents. When I put it in, and went to the single player mode, all of the levels said "cleared". My question is this....is the memory for the DS games stored on the actual game cartridges, or on the DS? Either way, I looked on the DS startup menu, and on the Elite Beat Agents menu for a place to erase or reset the memory for that game so I could play it like it was new, but I couldn't find a place to do that. Can anyone help me out?
The DS doesn't have any internal memory, the save is stored on the cartridge itself, just like the Gameboy.
So, is there a way to reset this memory?
look in the book, or press a combination of buttons on start up, this usually works with most games, hold L + R A,B,X,Y at same time on start up of game.

PORT AU PRINCE, Hati -- Doctors from around the world are making their way to Haiti to volunteer their time and talent to save lives.
However, the difficult job could be next to impossible if they didn't have the right tools, medicines and supplies.
Growing Needs, Limited Supplies
The thermometer shows the temperature is above 90 degrees and it's even hotter inside the tents that now serve as the Port-au-Prince General Hospital.
In this makeshift setting, Dr. Winston Price cares for the youngest victims of Haiti's earthquake. It is day three for the New York doctor who volunteered to head the pediatric unit.
"It gets better every day," Price said. "We are always hopeful each day that we are going to be doing better. But it's amazing that there are still victims coming down from the mountains for the first look at their injuries."
The children in one tent are being treated for burns, cuts and even lost limbs. In just three days, 22 filled beds have now grown to 80.
"With the limited resources, it hampers our ability to respond effectively," Dr. Price said.
But while the good doctor does the best with what he has, CBN's Operation Blessing International prepared to give him more, filling a truck with medical supplies.
In a little more than 20 minutes, volunteers unloaded the boxes at the hospital's clinic.
"The idea is to put the supplies in the hands of the experts who can use it to save lives, and this is a time critical issue," explained Dr. Liviu Vedrasco of the International Medical Corps.
Dr. Vedrasco was appreciative for each box that rolled off the truck. He was the first and only doctor at the hospital for first 27 hours after the earthquake. During that time, he saw 700 patients.
"It's a huge tragedy," Dr. Vedrasco said. "But it does not mean it cannot be turned into an opportunity a global opportunity to learn lessons to prepare all governments of the world for events like this."
Food and water are two critical supplies necessary to recover from the disaster. Operation Blessing installed a water filtration system at the hospital just days after the earthquake.
Packets of baby food have arrived and just in the nick of time, doctors said.
"God bless you," said a grateful Dr. Price. "Baby formula was few and far between. We had three infants born within a matter of seven minutes yesterday."
For three newborns with no formula, needles and IVs are used to give them the nutrients they need to survive and grow.
A Generation of Amputees
Then there are older children at the hospital who face a life-long problem in learning to deal with the loss of a limb.
"He has got braces now that he was supplied with, but they are too small for him and we really don't have the resources and specialist to come and teach them on a daily basis," Price said of one amputee.
For now, Dr. Price has begun giving lessons on how to walk with crutches. It is another item more children will need as a part of Haiti's new earthquake amputee generation.

Oregon Hospital Bucks Status Quo with VBAC Promotion & Vaginal Breech BirthsCeridwen Morris
The Oregon Health and Science University Hospital (OHSU) is taking serious steps to reduce the number of c-section births.
They not only encourage VBACs (vaginal births after c-section) but they are now one of just a handful of hospitals in America that will allow for a planned vaginal BREECH birth. (Most babies move into a head-down position by about 32-34 weeks, but some stay in a head-up and buttocks or feet-down position known as "breech.") Breech babies in the US are almost always born via c-section.
This started happening after a large randomized controlled trial, the "Term Breech Trial," published in 2000, concluded that in breech births a c-section is safer for the baby. This study made a huge impact; these days the skills for delivering a baby breech have all but disappeared. But the Term Breech Trial has come under serious criticism– here's a thorough breakdown of the issues written by Henci Goer, who concludes,
"Other breech studies contradict the findings of the Hannah study [the Term Breech Trial]. For example, a systematic review reports that most studies conclude that 'vaginal delivery is safe, given a good selection of patients, assistance by qualified staff and careful management during the delivery' (Haheim 2004)…. Despite a stream of articles discrediting the Hannah trial, influential institutions such as the Cochrane collaboration and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have not rescinded their endorsement of planned cesarean surgery for breech."
But things are different in Canada.
In 2009, the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada took these issues seriously and changed their recommendations. An automatic planned c-section for all breech babies is no longer assumed. The Breech Birth Guidelines released in 2009 state that, "In light of recent publications that further clarify the lack of long-term newborn risk of vaginal breech delivery and the many cohort reports noting excellent neonatal outcomes in settings with specific protocols, it is acceptable for hospitals to offer vaginal breech delivery."
While as many as 25% of babies can be breech at 32 weeks, only about 3-5% are breech at the time of birth. There are ways to try and turn a baby including positioning, acupuncture and something called an external version — the midwife or doctor uses his or her hands on mom's belly to manually turn the baby. The results of baby-turning, or spinning, are good but some remain breech and some of those babies could be good candidates for a vaginal delivery.
So I offer three serious cheers to OHSU for taking many steps towards lowering the c-section rates in the US, and for practicing evidence-based medicine even if it's in opposition to the status quo. These are the kinds of changes other care-providers and institutions need to make.

But those I put ranked 7 to 10 ... yes I can see Mae going ahead of Ashley, quite possible. Lots of potential in that one, and a certain charisma that drew me in right away. I like her short program, and am only disappointed she didn't swipe Jason Brown's Prince costume since she's using the same music. Plus, it'll be great for France to have a leading lady in the ladies discipline in the next quad.
Mae can jump!!! She just gets a bit rough around the edges at times but a little more focus on grace and detail and who knows. She was great at Euros!! No one talks much of her here.
Interesting comments.
Remember that Mao is somewhat unpredictable, she never had Yuna's consistency. I would not be shocked if she bombs again. I would not be surprised if she wins gold either.
It will be between four skaters: Mao, Adelina, Yulia and Caro. It's tough to forsee anyone else on the podium... maybe Kanako?
I would love for it to be:
1. Mao
2. Caro
3. Gracie or Yulia
1 Mao
2 Gracie
3 Adelina/Julia
Any chance, Clean Asada breaks World Record??
Of course I would LOVE for Mao to win. But I think her troubles with her 3a haven't gone away. Thrilled to get to see her at worlds, though, for the last time probably.
the front runners for the podium are Mao, Adelina, Caro and Yulia, for sure, with Gracie and Ashley waiting in the wings should disaster strike any of the above. It will be interesting to see how the judges receive Adelina but it will be a good reception, she's Olympic champ. It's just up to her to keep her juices flowing and put in solid programs. Of all the young Olympic gold medalist of years past, however, I think she is the one who truly sees this a fresh start in her career, not the climax. She's seen what she can do and she wants more.
Caro - will her newfound love for and comfort in competition endure for once last go around after such an exhausting season? And will Yulia come determined to get on a world podium or will she just be exhausted and desperate to move on from this season?
Gracie and Ashley - I see them giving it their all. They are still waiting to make their mark and break through the podium ceiling - or at least establish themselves as contenders. Especially Gracie.
What I hope is to see two very clean programs from Gracie, or at least no falls. She really needs that to solidify a rep as a consistent competitor.
Polina - it will be her first world's. I hope she is highly motivated and excited, even if it does come after the Olympics.
1. Mao
2. Julia
3. Caro
Like this? (is Adelina going?)
The following is my dream result.
Mao wins but the other Japanese ladies place so badly (Sorry Akiko and Kanako! Nothing personal.) that they (almost) lose their three spots. The Federation freaks out and basically forces her to keep skating. Mao spends most of June stressing out and Lori decides to take her to a Japanese hot spring resort so they can "talk about what skating means [to Mao]".
While Mao is there, Yuna arrives with her people! Mao and Yuna spend some quality girly time in the hot springs talking about life and starting up a newfound friendship where they left off circa 2007 on that Japanese talk show. Yuna tells Mao all the things she said about their rivalry to the press and says that she truly meant everything. Then she tells Mao to "skate because you love it" but also to "win for old times' sake". Yuna then leaves to receive her crystal globe award at the U.N.
Lori comes to have her talk with Mao, and they decide to go on a long hike. No one knows what they said on that hike, but the next season, Mao appears on the Grand Prix series with a spellbinding program to some high-brow crack-level addicting classical music and no triple axel. She also debuts a new exhibition to Britney Spears's "Piece of Me", which is her subtle way of hitting back at the media. It's not about the winning anymore, but she still wins every competition, through eternity, from then on.
Meanwhile, Carolina wins the silver and decides to stay on and become the Empress Dowager of skating. At the age of 35, she becomes the first woman to land both a clockwise and counterclockwise triple flip within the same program. She debuts some "innovative patterns" in her footwork that are really just the revival of school figures. People around the world bow every time she does a footwork sequence.
In a completely unforeseen event, Adelina and Julia receive the exact same score and exhaust all ISU tie-breakers. They both receive a bronze medal. The media then decides that their rivalry will be the rivalry to end all rivalries and airs Yagudin-Plushenko-esque fluff pieces about them. They watch these fluff pieces from their hotel room and laugh while eating popcorn together. Five years down the road, their friendship hits a real snag when they both fall for Maxim Kovtun. Yikes!

Here's how RW members rated this race (370 votes).
In short: Glorious GreensandIn full: A beautiful autumnal day, fantastic scenery, brilliant water stations, fantastic marshalls and a game of follow, follow, follow the yellow tape. I hugely appreciate the enormous time and effort put in to set up a challenging and complicated race but it is a true classic and leaves me with a huge smile and sense of achievement. Take a bow Rob and all the marsahlls and Trionium team you were fantastic. Thank you for a great day out.Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: Great GreensandsIn full: Another excellent race organised by Dr Rob. Some people had some trouble with navigation however I found it to be at least as good as past years and about average in comparison to most trail races. Will be back next year.Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: A solid race, with tough bits, and others where you can go a at a good gallop. Very well supported.In full: First thing's first: Last year, I banged up my knee on running Beachy Head, the day before I was supposed to run Greensands. The RD actually agreed to my very cheeky completely last minute request to defer my entry! That's how I wound up running this year. I was most impressed by this kind gesture which shows Dr. Rob knows the reality of running these races, that things sometimes don't go according to plan, and was kind enough to accommodate my request. Well done. The race went like clockwork, except my ah-poo-calypse now moment at 10K ish. Oh, I also got lost twice, but that was more because I wasn't paying attention than poor markings. Over all, course marking was very good, bordering on excellent. The aid stations were very frequent. Every time I started to feel a little thirsty, an aid station appeared right on cue. The marshals were extremely friendly and helpful. All major road crossings were marshalled, so you'll be safe even as fatigue kicks in in the later stages. To give you a sense of difficulty, I do a parkrun in 18:22, and this finished this race in 3:48. There was a cooked breakfast afterwards, which was fantastic. But take some extra food if you tend to get hungry post race. I'm too shy to ask for seconds when the food is free! If you were to push me to say something negative, I'd admit I wasn't a fan of the 'eco medal'-a printed plywood cutout. It feels very insubstantial, and frankly sub par. The high quality full sleeve tech top, and the mug to some way towards ameliorating this, but a medal is a medal, and to me at least, they are very important. If costs were the issue, I'd personally preferred a real medal, and no mug in the goody bag. Otherwise, this was just a great race, by a very kind director, who understands the needs of runners, and treats us accordingly. Great job, all round. Special thanks to the marshals!Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: A tough & challenging 26.2 miles of hills, hills & more hills. Great run.In full: A prefect race. Ideal weather for running. Organisation & marshalling top notch. Course is very challenging but achievable. No switching off on this one, a physical & mental race. Pretty much every type of terrain used. Lots of hills (the one in the final mile is pure evil). Highly recommended race, be back in two years.Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: Tough race with beautiful sceneryIn full: A very enjoyable event - well organised and a great atmosphere. Make no mistake though - it is a hard race - a lot of hills some very steep. Great support out on the course.Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: fabulousIn full: lovely day, great race, excellent post race breakfast.Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: Very tough, especially as first marathon!Date of review: October 12, 2015
In short: amazing race...... amazing organisation.... amazing value...TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH!!In full: really well organised race - the scenery is spectacular. It is the hardest half marathon I have ever done. Nothing competes!Can't praise the organiser enough - free tea at the beginning, technical tshirt, medal, momento & really welcome cooked breakfast at the end. Brilliant value...... if you are tough enoughDate of review: October 11, 2015
In short: Fantastic small trail half marathon - a local gem! (Shhhhh)In full: This race was brilliant. No mile markers and lots of jelly babies. Everyone beaming with enthusiasm. Beautiful, challenging course. Lots of bits where I couldn't see anyone! I also am rather fond of the out and back element - you get to see everyone on your way up / down. Great low key event - and lots of goodies too. A medal, a mug, a long sleeve technical tee AND a cooked breakfast at the end!!!! (And more jelly babies) thanks so much trionium! Date of review: October 11, 2015
In short: It's tough, but that only makes it better!!In full: Great race, great scenery and some pretty lumpy bits! First time for this race. Ran the Hermes North Down's Marathon earlier in the year and these are very similar out and back races - both very tough, but very rewarding.Well organised, and liked the free tea at the start, plus the rendition of Jerusalem.Two people were running this as their first marathons - total respect, but it will be hard to top this oneDate of review: October 11, 2015

On a recent very hot Sunday afternoon, a Sherry Cobbler seemed like the thing to drink. The cocktail of sherry, sugar and citrus is ideal for summer sipping, partly because it's low in alcohol, but mostly because it's served over a mound of crushed ice. (Nineteenth-century drinkers were keen to the cobbler's charms: "It was the iconic cocktail of its time, the one that took everyone by storm," New York City bartender Joaquin Simo recently told the Seattle Times. "(It) was the Cosmo of its day - light and refreshing, an accessible drink.") Fortunately, Edmund's Oast serves an excellent rendition.
Early Charlestonians surely drank cobblers, too. In 1839, The Southern Literary Messenger referred to the drink as the period's "greatest liquorary invention." But the sherry drink of greater local renown was the related Sherry Bolo, essentially a cobbler made with limes instead of oranges.
Hugo Ensslin's "Recipes for Mixed Drinks," published in 1916, includes a recipe for a Bolo Cocktail made with Cuban rum, lime juice, lemon juice and powdered sugar, but Bolo had a different meaning in the Lowcountry. "Charleston Receipts" includes a recipe for the drink, reprinted here in its entirety: "3 sherry glasses of sherry; juice of one lime; sugar to taste. Serve with crushed ice."
The Bolo was nearly always paired with benne biscuits, as Eugene Walter noted in "American Cooking: Southern Style," a 1971 entry in the monumental Time-Life Foods of the World series: "Hot biscuits made with toasted benne seeds are enjoyed with a drink called Sherry Bolo, a mixture of sherry, lime juice and sugar."
When food writer Clementine Paddleford visited Charleston in 1952, she was served a Sherry Bolo at Middleton Place.
"Walk and talk, then back to the house to drink Sherry Bolo and eat hot benne biscuits," she wrote. "The Sherry Bolo came in old English wine cups, and made in this manner: three glasses of sherry with the juice of one lime; sugar to taste; pour over crushed ice in six small cups."

Veteran comic Jerry Lewis was resting comfortably Monday after collapsing backstage at a charity show at London's Palladium theater, and he's due to fly home Tuesday, a spokeswoman tells Reuters.
As a precaution, medical personnel were summoned to examine him, "and everything checked out okay," Candi Cazau said. "He didn't even go to the hospital. He's absolutely fine."
She blamed Lewis's rigorous schedule for his collapse.
Stephen Allen Green, the emcee and producer of Sunday's "High on Laughter" fund-raiser for Turning Point Scotland, a drug and alcohol treatment group, told the Associated Press that "I saw him collapse backstage out of the corner of my eye."
"He was watching the screen clips of an earlier show of his behind the stage when he just sat back," said Green, who was forced to tell the audience that Lewis would not be able to participate because he wasn't well.
Early news reports said Lewis, 76, had been treated at the theater and then taken by ambulance to an unidentified hospital. But Green and Lewis's wife said the entertainer had not been hospitalized.
"We are grateful it was not necessary for him to go to hospital and he is currently resting comfortably at his London residence," Green and co-producer Tamsin Hollo said in a statement Monday.
Lewis's wife SanDee (known as Sam), reached by the Associated Press, confirmed the producers' statement. "He has not taken ill," she said "There is no change in his condition."
Lewis has been in failing health of late, some of his symptoms related to pulmonary fibrosis, a lung ailment. He has been treated with steroids, which accounts for his severely bloated condition.
He also reportedly suffers from back pain, diabetes and is still recovering from spinal meningitis, which struck him two years ago.

It took three years and $44 million to bring Star Trek to the big screen. But, as it turns out, the most chilling enemy faced by the stolid crew of the Enterprise, including India-born beauty Persis Khambatta, may not be interstellar gas but critical bile. Ridiculing the most expensive movie ever made as "passive," "soporific," "sluggish" and a sort of dim-bulb Spockalypse Now, the critics would seemingly have dissuaded all but the cult's most ardently oppressive Trekkie fanatics.
Yet Star Trek's box office—unlike the plot—took off at warp speed, grossing an unprecedented $11.9 million its first three days. While its long-term prospects (it has to reap more than $125 million to break even) remain in doubt, the critical hairsplitting certainly has had no effect on the delightfully ingenuous Khambatta, 33, who plays the depilated demoiselle who navigates the starship. "I don't want to spoil my fun by reading negative things," protests Persis, a former Miss India who personally combines a quirky Judy Holliday sense of humor with a background almost as exotic as a Vulcan's. "I think the movie is wonderful."
Offscreen, however, the woman who has been justifiably dubbed India's Sophia Loren suffered seven excruciating months in her bald pate for her art. Pouts the chrome-domed Persis: "If someone kissed me, you know, was really making out with me, he would get five-o'clock-shadow burns."
Persis—perhaps because she and Stephen Collins, as the starship's young commander, are the crew's only newcomers—sometimes brought problems to the set that threatened to cauliflower the ears of the passionless Spock. "I do not hide my feelings," Persis admits, "though sometimes I get carried away. I can't remember what humiliation I had suffered at the hands of one of my boyfriends, but one day I was sitting weeping. Director Robert Wise patted my shoulder and said, 'Come on, Persis, this is costing about $10,000 a minute.' He was joking, but I got the point in a hurry."
Though she became a sensation of the disco set (and was linked to German financier Alex Marcus-Zellermayer), her boyfriend troubles weren't helped by her Hare Krishna hairdo. "I thought I was very pretty without hair," she shrugs. "Naked, more honest somehow. No glamor, just bald old me. I seldom wore wigs or hats. But some people must have thought I was an exhibitionist or a religious fanatic." Now that she has resprouted her once luxuriant mane, she is still having romantic difficulties. "My current boyfriend is French and he doesn't treat me very well," kids Persis about Sunset Strip boutique owner Pasquel Chevillot. "He is very put back—I mean, lay back—about everything. He is like all of Hollywood, light and fluffy. Everybody smiles."
Persis, surely, is different. She belongs (as does conductor Zubin Mehta) to the 85,000-member Parsi sect, followers of Zoroaster whose ancestors originally immigrated to India from Persia. Her father deserted the family when she was 2 and she never saw him again. "It was very hard. Our people stress family," says Persis. "I developed a sense of humor and something of a toughness of skin, but I suffered from being different." She began modeling at 13 while her mother fended off matchmakers. Persis' selection as Miss India of 1965 led to movies in New Delhi, modeling in London and roles in two 1975 films, The Wilby Conspiracy with Sidney Poitier and Conduct Unbecoming with Michael York. She then repeated her modeling success in New York for Air India (among others), acted in the 1977 TV movie Man with the Power, and won the Star Trek role over 100 contenders.
While her pay for trimming her tresses was only an estimated $35,000, the movie has advanced Khambatta's trek to stardom. After a flying trip to London, Paris and Australia, she begins work next week on Sly Stallone's upcoming Attack! She and Pasquel have rented a two-bedroom Hollywood duplex decorated with Indian carvings, rugs and wall hangings, where they socialize quietly with friends from L.A.'s European community. She lets no alcohol pass her lips but chainsmokes. "I really don't know how things could be better," Persis sums up, though, strangely, she sometimes feels a certain nostalgia for her days as a skinhead. "Yes," she sighs. "It felt real sexy when I soaped down in the shower."
Persis Khambatta Suffered the Scrape of Her Locks, but Star Trek Justified the Loss

|Assistant County Attorney Cynthia Johnson-Stacks read the foregoing proposed ordinance into the record. Chairwoman Edmonson said that she put this item on the agenda for discussion because some of the residents in her district had expressed to her major concerns, including security in the public housing developments. She stated that the residents wanted to feel safe and confident that their children could play outside safely. She noted some incidents had occurred regarding the cameras in the Arthur Mays Housing Development, and asked whether the cameras were working properly in this development. Mr. Greg Fortner, Director, Public Housing and Community Development Department (PHCD), noted some of the cameras in Arthur Mays were working and others were not. He indicated that his department was in the process of upgrading this system. He said that the system in Liberty Square was more state-of-the art, and had approximately 24 cameras. He stated that they were trying to put cameras in all of the large family developments. He said that some of the residents at Culmer in Overtown were always trying to remove the cameras, but this was harder to do in Liberty Square, because the cameras had been placed higher. He indicated that his department planned to place the cameras higher in Culmer as well. Mr. Fortner noted his department was moving forward with all camera projects to model those in Liberty Square. Chairwoman Edmonson asked whether the policing in the developments located in the municipalities was carried out by the municipal police, and if so whether it was possible for the County to work with the municipal police to increase security at these public housing developments. Mr. Fortner noted Liberty Square and Culmer were within the Miami City limits. He said that the only possible effective crime prevention program had to include the cooperation of the law enforcement agency responsible in that jurisdiction. Chairwoman Edmonson said that she had a meeting with Miami-Dade Police Department Director J.D. Patterson, and also with the City of Miami Police Department, in reference to the County and City police working together. She also indicated that residents had inquired whether it would be possible to put a gate in Liberty Square. Mr. Fortner noted Liberty Square was the County's property, but it would not be easy to gate this community, which was comprised of 700 units. He said that his department was preparing a community development plan for Liberty Square to replace units, similar to the plan for Scott Carver. Chairwoman Edmonson said that she did not want another Hope 6. She asked whether the PHCD Department was planning to demolish Liberty Square and then rebuild it. Mr. Fortner indicated that the best plan would be to replace this huge community, in which the buildings were antiquated; however, the most cost-effective way to do this would be in phases. Chairwoman Edmonson said she was in favor of doing it in phases, because she did not want people to be relocated all over the County against their will. Mr. Fortner said that he had been involved in five Hope 6 projects, including the one in Miami. He noted people were misinformed about Hope 6; there was a perception that people were living under bridges. He observed that 1100 families were relocated with Section 8 vouchers and 70 percent of these families did not want to return because they received more benefits with a Section 8 voucher. Chairwoman Edmonson stressed that a number of families said they were not able to be relocated back into Scott Carver, and just last week her office staff contacted Mr. Fortner regarding one such family. Mr. Fortner said that this case was the exception, and not the rule. Commissioner Monestime noted the experience of Hope 6 Housing in Liberty City left a bitter taste. However, he said he concurred that Mr. Fortner's experience may have been different, because he was not in Miami when Hope 6 was implemented. He pointed out that it was important to learn from that past experience so that people who wanted better housing did not have to go through such a painful experience in the future. He said this was the reason the commissioners wanted to ensure that it was done in phases, allowing residents to move within their communities, noting it would save the County a great deal of money. Mr. Fortner indicated that his department did not have the funds presently to embark on such a project. Commissioner Monestime noted this location was very valuable, and in the future this property could look like North Park. Commissioner Diaz asked how long it would take for this to become a reality. Mr. Fortner said that his department was depending on the federal government for the funding, but was also exploring the public/private partnerships. Commissioner Diaz said that perhaps the Hope 6 project was not carried out properly, noting sometimes it is not what we do, but how people perceive it. He pointed out that these projects were important to the residents and were very much needed. Therefore, it was crucial to find a better solution moving forward, and to explore public/private partnerships to carry out such projects. Commissioner Diaz said that it was also necessary to explain things properly to the residents, and to work with developers who were able to implement such a project correctly. He asked Mr. Fortner to develop policies for the rehabilitation of public housing developments involving the least amount of disruption to the residents of these facilities. Mr. Fortner indicated that his department already had a blueprint, as it rehabilitated approximately 800 units in the senior housing developments with the $80 million that it received in tax credits. He explained that each of the residents had to move out temporarily before moving back in, and there were no complaints about this process because the residents knew that they were going back to their units. Commissioner Diaz pointed out that the ideal situation would be for such projects to be carried out by a developer who was respectful of the residents and the situation they were in, especially the elderly. He stressed the importance of learning from experience, to avoid repeating the past. Mr. Fortner noted his department had extensive meetings with the residents on every aspect of the project, including relocation. Chairwoman Edmonson said that the City of Miami Police Department officers complained that they could not access the content of the security cameras installed in the public housing developments, because their broadband network did not match the County's. She asked Mr. Fortner how he intended to solve this problem. Mr. Fortner indicated that the main police station for the City and the cameras in Liberty Square needed to be connected. However, the City of Miami Police Department's squad cars had the required wireless technology to view the content of the cameras. Chairwoman Edmonson noted it did not make sense to have cameras if the police officers were unable to view their content, and asked how the County could connect the City of Miami Police Department with the cameras in the public housing developments. Mr. Fortner pointed out that the cameras were not manned 24 hours a day. He explained that the cameras only recorded activity at certain spots, and the police could use that in case a crime was committed in those spots to help with their investigation. Chairwoman Edmonson reiterated that the City of Miami Police Department officers told her that they were unable to view the content of the cameras because of the broadband connection. Chairwoman Edmonson requested a report, possibly within the next 30 days, regarding the measures that the County was taking to ensure that security was being enhanced in its public housing developments, including recommendations or plans to enhance security in the future. Chairwoman Edmonson noted the residents of the public housing developments informed her that they were having problems communicating with the site managers and with the Tenants' Councils. They said that the Tenants' Councils did not invite all residents to their meetings. She asked what the Administration could do to ensure that all residents were informed of the Tenants' Councils meetings. Mr. Fortner noted there were two dozen Tenants' Councils, which were independent bodies, each with its own personality. He said that his department had tasked the site managers to hold community meetings at least quarterly if not monthly. He indicated that they wanted to work cooperatively with the Tenants' Councils, but they reserved the right to call meetings. Chairwoman Edmonson suggested that in the future when they called meetings, they should make sure that all of the residents were invited. The site managers should distribute the flyers and invitations to ensure that every single resident was receiving one, to avoid rumors, recommended Chairwoman Edmonson. Mr. Fortner indicated that his staff had already put this recommendation into practice. Chairwoman Edmonson noted she was informed that there were few recreational programs, and community spaces for the youth and the elderly in the public housing developments, and they had difficulty leasing such facilities. She observed that the County had built a playground in Liberty Square, had put in a fitness trail, and was waiting for the City of Miami manager to finalize the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which they signed; however, the playground was originally included in the MOU, but since it was built by the County instead, the MOU had to be revised. She asked how soon this would be done. Mr. Fortner said that hopefully, the MOU would be signed shortly, as it was approved by the City of Miami manager. Assistant County Attorney Terrence Smith indicated that the legislative item had already been prepared, and the County Attorneys were waiting for the City of Miami manager to give them the revised MOU that would be attached to the resolution before presenting it to the Board. He observed that the County had shouldered one of the City's responsibilities by constructing the playground. Chairwoman Edmonson noted the City of Miami manager had been promising the Liberty Square residents for years that the city would give the children a playground, yet it had never been built. Assistant County Attorney Smith recalled that the Board adopted a previous resolution approving a prior MOU with the City of Miami. At the time, the City said that it had funding for the playground; yet, several years later there was still no executed MOU nor the playground that was promised, noted the Assistant County Attorney. Chairwoman Edmonson stated that was the reason she had the playground built, and was planning to build a fitness trail, as well. She asked Mr. Fortner to accompany her on a tour of Liberty Square to determine how best to build "Tot Lots". Mr. Fortner noted even though Liberty Square had a number of courtyards with young children, there was nothing except grassy fields in these courtyards. Chairwoman Edmonson thanked Mr. Fortner for working with MCI to install the computer lab in the Annie Coleman development. She asked him to give her a report listing the public housing facilities countywide that have a recreational facility, after-school program, or offer special services for the elderly. In addition, Chairwoman Edmonson asked Mr. Fortner to provide her with any options the County could pursue with regard to public-private partnerships to improve the quality of life in the public housing developments. She said, for example, that the department could collaborate with the Miami-Dade Police Department through the Police Athletic League (PAL) program. Mr. Fortner said that the County could offer space and clientele, which was the reason one property may offer one type of service and not another. He clarified that the County offered the space rent free for one dollar a month. Chairwoman Edmonson asked Mr. Fortner to advertise the availability of space at public housing developments for public/private partnerships to offer services to the residents. She said it appeared that the crime rate had increased in the public housing developments, noting the Administration had to be pro-active to combat crime. Mr. Fortner noted he agreed that adding services would help. However, he stressed that his department could only offer space and clientele, but could not pay for these services. Chairwoman Edmonson pointed out that Mr. Fortner's department could develop partnership with some of the community-based organizations, and all they would need was the space. She asked Mr. Fortner to update her on his efforts on a monthly basis.

LANSING, MI – Yes, Michigan's firearm deer hunting season began Thursday.
But the state's Department of Natural Resources would like to remind hunters that deer season isn't necessarily just for deer anymore. Hunters also are encouraged to shoot wild hogs -- often called "feral swine" – if they spot the animals roaming in the woods this season.
DNR officials have called the wild swine the Asian carp of the woods and forests – invasive species that can cause trouble for farmers and carry disease. The DNR has classified certain types of the wild boars as invasive species. State officials say some of the animals are escapees from wild game ranches and farms.
"It's not getting better," Debbie Munson Badini, a DNR spokeswoman, said of the feral swine situation in Michigan. "We're continuing to get the same amount of reports."
The rules for shooting a wild boar: Anyone with a valid hunting license – including a deer-hunting license – can shoot them on public land. People with a concealed pistol permit (CPL) also are allowed to kill wild swine on public land. On private land, a license isn't needed as long as the hunter has the permission of the landowner.
There's no specific season for the wild boar. They can be shot at any time.
The animals have been reported in most of Michigan's counties. Over the years, counties with some of the highest sighting numbers reported include Baraga, Gratiot, Hillsdale, Mecosta, Midland, Saginaw and Washtenaw.
State officials have estimated there could be between 1,000 and 3,000 feral swine overall in the state.

@really, what is the difference between adding costs to abortions and a tax on alcohol and cig's? none I can see, I smoke so I pay a sin tax, you choose to have sex, pay the sin tax on your abortion, if you choose one. now do I agree with the gov'ts involvement? not at all. notice the words choose to have sex, added costs are a sin tax, you know as well as I that the gov't is gonna pillage your bank account if they get the chance.

So are you saying, indycolt, that the only thing this budget does with regard to abortion is eliminate any and all public funding? I agree with you that government should not require the use of public funds for abortion services, however in the same vein Government should not outlaw services or add additional costs to services that a person chooses to use at no cost to the tax paying public. Abortion after all has been declared Constitutional by the SCOTUS. One abuse of government power is no worse than the other. I find it difficult to understand how anyone who believes in a limited government could even argue the point.

I support a budget that taxes its citizens proportionally equally for the costs of salaries, materials, and capital expenditures nessary to provide required services and safety protection to all Ohio citizens.
I reject so much as one dime more in taxes for redistribution of one's earnings to subsidize corporations or for transfers to other individuals.

Chris Lael Larson is an multi-disciplinary artist, musician and graphic designer who lives and works in Portland, Oregon, USA. His current motion work coalesces hand-sequenced digital stills, stop-motion, hand-drawn animation, motion graphics and sound collage -- flowing layers of color, shape and texture together into surreal meditations on physical and emotional landscapes.

Is Natural Gas Boom Obama's Biggest Legacy?
Ron Brownstein, Quartz
In the US, the climate is changing on climate change.
Though President Barack Obama lavished attention on climate change in both his inaugural address and State of the Union speech, he still has little chance of getting Congress to pass a law limiting carbon emissions. But he could achieve the same goal using regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and he is now in a better position to withstand—and even welcome—the confrontation with the energy industry this would entail, thanks to both economic and political shifts.
The key economic change is the surge in domestic production of natural gas spurred by the growing use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. That creates a cheaper alternative to coal-generated electricity and has eased fears that...

This answer was rated:
I have a male miniature poodle, who has been having digestive problems lately (the past 6mo?). He is on an excellent diet with both wet and dry food he's done very well on it for the passed two years now. Every so often he will either regurgitate or vomit, more often regurgitation. Last week while I was away my fiancé was watching him, where he apparently vomited what looked like coffee grounds ( I'm thinking ulcer at this point) I didn't think much of it then but this evening and earlier he has vomited twice. He will often lick his lips repetitively from excess saliva. Tonight he began licking his lips again in the same fashion except this time I fed him some saltine crackers and water which after about 20 minutes seemed to relieve him and he fell back to sleep. Does this sound like an ulcer? No blood in vomit that I saw though this means nothing.

replied 2 years ago.
Welcome! My name isXXXXX am a UC Davis graduate, and currently, a Medical Director of a veterinary hospital.
I am sorry to hear about this concern for Noodle.
Well, anytime there is the suggestion of blood in the vomit, then absolutely, I would be suspicious for a ulcer present.
The licking lips again certainly would also support nausea.
The problem is that with repetitive vomiting episodes I also start to get nervous about pancreatitis as well.
Vomiting causes can include:
- Dietary indiscretion (eating something you do not know about)
- Stomach or intestinal foreign body
- Something that was given to them (new food, new treat, human food)
- Intestinal parasitism (not just the worms, but the microscopic bugs like Giardia and Coccidia). They can cause vomiting also, not just diarrhea
- Toxin exposure would be less likely, unless you have reason to suspect exposure to a chemical.
- Less commonly, endocrine diseases like Addison's
To help settle the stomach you can use of the following, but not as a replacement for veterinary examination include
1.Pepcid A.C. (famotidine) comes in 10mg, 20mg, or 40mg tablets.
You can give it every 12 hours. You can give 0.5mg per pound of body weight. So, a 20 pound dog would get 10mg.
2.Prilosec (omeprazole). It comes in 10mg or 20mg tablets.
You can give in every 24 hours. You give 0.5mg per pound of body weight. So, a 20 pound dog would get 10mg
3.Zantac (Ranitidne). It comes in 75mg, 150mg, or 300mg sizes.
You can give it every 8 to 12 hours. You give 0.25 to 1mg per pound of body weight. So, a 20 pound dog would get roughly 1/3 tablet of the 75mg. Even with bigger pets, it is easiest to get the smallest size tablet. Even a 75 pound dog would only need one 75mg tablet.
4.Pepto-Bismol or Kaopectate
You can give it every 8 hours. The average dose is 1ml per pound of body weight, and that is the TOTAL dose for the day, which should be divided into two or three doses. So, if a pet weighs 30 pounds, they would get a total of 30ml a day divided. This is dosing for regular strength Pepto-Bismol. If you use maximum strength liquid, give half as much.
Vets will often start a medication called carafate (sucralfate) to help esophagus or stomach ulcers. The medication binds to the ulcer to help it heal.
But, whether you see evidence of an ulcer or not is not relevant, since repeat vomiting is enough of a concern.
Here is a bland diet recommendation:
Boiled boneless, skinless chicken breast OR low-fat cottage cheese
Cooked white rice
*Never add on salt, pepper, oils, butter to any of the above
*Ideally, give 1/3 chicken or cottage cheese, and 2/3 white rice
Veterinarians will often prescribe some prescription bland diets as an easy alternative including
Science Diet I/D
*It is important to remember that if improving on a bland diet or prescription food like I/D, when you transition back to the old diet, do so gradually over 3-5 days.

I actually have some extra sucralfate and you just reminded me of this! Fortunately I think I can rule out pancreatitis; I had a schnauzer cross with this very same ailment and it bears no resemblance to Mr. Noodles condition. Can I use the left over sucralfate? It must be almost a year and a half old now.
After those saltine crackers he's sleeping soundly beside me. Prior to his second vomiting episode my fiancé fed him a tomato slice and a piece I whatever chicken junk he was eating at the time which had mayonnaise on it. I was not pleased.
Another note, Noodle was briefly on Prednisone for some environmental allergies in August. I am wondering if this would exacerbate his digestive issues? I cut the dosage in half we try to avoid prednisone.
Would this possibly lead to a gastric ulcer??
Thank you very much for your time Dr. Andy btw
Dr. Andy
replied 2 years ago.
I wouldn't use it that old.
If sleeping him, allow him to rest.
Prednisone can cause gastrointestinal issues, but not from that long ago.
Only if you were still giving the prednisone, even at a half dose, could it be contributing to the digestive problems.
Hope that additional information helps. Definitely, reply to me if there is any other way I may assist you. I hope my responses have been satisfactory?

Good thing the Susquenita baseball team has a short memory.
The Blackhawks shrugged off their first loss of the season, a disappointing 4-3 decision to Trinity two weeks ago, with a major response.
Last week, Susquenita beat, in order, Middletown, Boiling Springs, Waynesboro and Camp Hill. The four-win week puts the Blackhawks at 6-1 for the year.
"I was hoping we could get three wins last week. To get four is great," said 'Hawk skipper Bryon Wilson. "To start the season 6-1 sure isn't a bad thing, but I have to keep telling the kids, we haven't done anything yet. Our league and the schedule in front of us is very tough.'
Wilson's ballclub actually had to rally to get wins in the first two games. With their aces Taylor Nace and Justin Malehorn getting the starts, the 'Hawks trailed both the Blue Raiders and Bubblers early.
Brian Evans came on in relief of Nace to get the 14-4 win against Middletown. Josh Shearer shut down Boiling Springs after Malehorn was charged with five runs and pulled in the second inning down 5-1. Shearer worked 5.1 innings of 2-hit ball and got the win when the Blackhawks scored 10 runs over their final five at-bats.
"(Having to come back) was good for us. It showed we could handle adversity," Wilson said. "Of course, maybe we don't win those games without the way Brian and Josh pitched. They gave us a chance to get our bats going.'
And, once the 'Hawk bats get going, opponents get gone.
As a team, Wilson's crew is bashing the ball at a .381 clip, averaging over 10 runs a game and, top-to-bottom, have dangerous bats to deal with.
Wilson can count on three hitters, Tyler Sinkovitz (.667), Malehorn (.542) and Mike Magaro (.500) who average at least one hit every time at bat. Shearer (.407), who leads off and Bobby Kohl (.400), the cleanup hitter, aren't far off that pace. Plus Nace and Zach Harvey, who hit less than .200 as sophomores, are now over .300. Nace cracked a homer in the win over Middletown. Harvey, installed at the bottom of Wilson's order to recharge the offense and playing right when Nace pitches, had six hits and scored three runs in the final three wins of the week.
"Zach is hitting the ball hard," Wilson said. "And, he made a great (defensive) play in right in the Waynesboro game. It was a line drive that would have fallen in for a hit. Zach has great instincts. He made a full run forward and made the catch.'
Wilson fully expected production from Shearer, Kohl, Malehorn and Magaro. The four 'Hawk vets hit from day one and have continued. Sinkovitz, however, has been a surprise — a wonderful gift that dropped into the No. 2 hole in the lineup and has delivered excellance.
The transfer from Susquehanna Township has 12 hits in 18 at-bats, including five doubles for a slugging percentage of .944, second on the team to Malehorn (1.000). Sinkovitz has also drawn eight walks, giving him a .793 on-base percentage, knocked in six runs and scored a team-high 13.
"Sinko is a very good ballplayer. He's made us a better team," Wilson said. "With him and Josh on base, the other kids are getting fastballs to hit, and we're hitting the ball pretty good.'
Picked up by Evans and Shearer, Malehorn and Nace, Wilson's top two hurlers, rebounded with strong games in their next outings.
Nace stopped Waynesboro, a top MPC-Colonial outfit, on one hit, a first-inning homer. He fanned five and didn't walk a batter, lowering his ERA to 1.24. Malehorn then tossed a 3-hit, 8-K, 5-inning gem at Camp Hill and came away with an 11-1 win.
"Taylor and Justin bounced back from tough games," Wilson said. "I'm feeling pretty good about the pitching right now, certainly better than I felt at the beginning of the year.
"We had a productive week, but we'll be in dog fights ewvery night the rest of the way.'
West Perry
The Mustangs began the week quite nicely, trimming Millersburg 18-4, then flailed through losing efforts to Upper Dauphin and Bishop McDevitt.
Down two starters at UDA, the Mustangs fell 7-6 on a walk-off home run. Down a third starter at McDevitt, Jeff Sanno's ballclub dropped a troubling 13-3 decision in six innings.
"I don't really know what to say," said Sanno as he contemplates a 2-4 record that should have been better. "All I know is, we need to start making better decisions — choices — on and off the field.'
The Mustangs are hitting .303 and average over seven runs a game. But those numbers are illusury. They scored 32 of those runs in just two games. The 10 runs West Perry has scored in its four losses would be sufficient if the pitching and defense were tight operations.
They're not.
With Sanno forced to shuffle players around to cover for key players that haven't been available, the defense has suffered — and dragged a competent, if unspectacular, pitching staff down, as well.
"We've given up 25 unearned runs in six games, that's over four a game," Sanno noted. "It's tough to win games when you start in a hole like that.'
Sanno expects to be at full strength this week. Players like Charlie Dunkelberger, who is batting a team-best .533, Kenny Baum (.529), Jake Weber (.368 with a team-high eight RBI, and Cody Richard, who went 2-for-4 with four RBI against Millersburg, will surely welcome the reinforcements.

22 11/2010Typekit - bring forth the fonts
Not many people realise it but websites have traditionally been bound by the regular fonts installed on the users computer. Hence until recently web designers have been restricted to a rather small list of around 8-10 fonts which can reasonably be expected to be present on most users' machines.
Thankfully most modern browsers support embedded fonts allowing the web designer to attach fonts along with other assets such as stylesheets and images and use them in the website, freeing us from the boredom of forever building websites using the same fonts or as has more often been the case, employing techniques such as Flash Inline Replacement or Image Replacement techniques which although effective, are not particularly accessibility-friendly and certainly don't help with page loading speeds.
There is of course, a catch. Even though fonts CAN be embedded, legally things are less clear, with most fonts being protected by copyright – even those available for freeâ¦
In the past couple of years a lot of work has been done to bring web fonts to the fore and Propeller have just given Typekit a trial run with our latest website launch (left).
Typekit is a subscription-based service for linking to high-quality Open Type fonts from some of the worlds best type foundries.
Typekit have worked with foundries to develop a consistent web-only font linking license and developed a technology platform that lets them host both free and commercial fonts in a way that is incredibly fast, smoothes out differences in how browsers handle type, and offers the level of protection that type designers need without resorting to annoying and ineffective DRM.
If we take Hillman Meat Company as our example – under our Typekit subscription we've been able to access and embed the beautiful Annabelle script font by Veer for the main headings and Angie STD Sans to complement it in the body.
A refreshing change from Georgia, Verdana et al I'm sure you'll agree.
Given the success we've had with Typekit on this project, its almost guaranteed it will be finding its way into many future Propeller projects.

First International Workshop on
Target Audience
Organizing Committee
Program Committee
Workshop Program
Cultural Heritage is gaining a lot of attention lately. On one hand, scientific research is exploring the possibilities for providing appropriate technologies for digital and integrated access to cultural heritage collections. On the other hand, cultural heritage institutions are increasingly eager to collaborate with each other and to provide personalized views, navigation and access to their virtual and physical collections.
Communication and sharing information between cultures is based on meaning, i.e., semantics. We understand each other by sharing a common, underlying semantic conception about the world and culture. Meaning can be expressed in different natural languages and different conventions of representing and publishing information are used in different countries. This creates challenges for representing cultural content and cross-cultural communication.
Most cultural information systems today process data only on the syntactic level without concerning the rich semantic structures underlying the content. It is not easy to create advanced cultural applications, if the computers do not "understand" and share the meaning of the content they are processing. Making content machine understandable and interoperable is a goal of the Semantic Web, and publishing cultural heritage has been an active application area in semantic web research.
Cultural heritage has turned out to be an important application area of the Semantic Web. There are many conferences related to publishing cultural content on the web, such as the Museums and the Web (MW) series. However, there are no conferences focusing on the semantic issues of cultural heritage. A sign of growing interest is that the MW 2007 conference is largest ever this year and includes papers related to semantic web. There are earlier successful symposia arranged in 2006, such as Digital Semantic Content across Cultures (the Louvre), Expedition to European Cultural Heritage (Salzburg), and Virtual Museum (Denmark) that indicate large and multi-disciplinary interest in the topic. Many national research and development programmes are going on related to the topic, such as CATCH in the Netherlands, FinnONTO in Finland, and KMM in Sweden.

A talk-show appearance for Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne to promote the third season of their reality-television series "The Osbournes" turned into an unexpected confessional Friday night, as the couple admitted they had checked daughter Kelly Osbourne into a drug-rehab facility earlier in the day.
Sharon Osbourne, who already had been scheduled to appear with Ozzy on CNN's "Larry King Live" to discuss their show, said an English newspaper had contacted her, requesting a statement about a photograph that apparently showed Kelly purchasing drugs. The couple then confronted their daughter, who eventually admitted to using painkillers.
"The amount of pills I found in her bag was astounding," Ozzy said.
The couple's son, Jack Osbourne, then took Kelly to Promises Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Addiction Center in Malibu, Calif., Reuters reports. Jack had undergone treatment for substance abuse last year.
The entire episode reportedly played out in the hours leading up to "Larry King." "Literally, a couple hours ago, she was admitted to rehab," Sharon said on the show.
The Osbournes have held very little back on their reality series, as the family has undergone seemingly one crisis after another since the show debuted in 2002. During the course of the series, Sharon has waged a public battle with colon cancer, while Ozzy, a recovering addict and alcoholic, relapsed. He was also involved in an accident on an all-terrain vehicle that nearly killed him and left him in a coma for eight days.
Sharon said that the incident with Kelly had left her angry and upset, and that she was beginning to wonder if the family is cursed.
In other Osbourne news, the Associated Press reports that Ozzy filed a complaint with the California state medical board against a Beverly Hills doctor that Osbourne claims is responsible for overmedicating him. Osbourne filed the suit against Dr. David Kipper who the rocker says was hired to help him kick a prescription-drug habit. Instead, the doctor allegedly prescribed excessive quantities of other medications, which led to Osbourne's occasionally disoriented behavior on the family's reality series.
The third season of "The Osbournes" begins Tuesday.

We often hear about someone making such and such amount of money from one particular form of advertising, or from one particular web site. This is all great. However, assuming that publisher does not have another income stream (whether it be a different website or a different method of income), that publisher does run the risk of having that single site / single monetization mechanism taken away from him/her. What if someone outranks you in search engines and you lose half of your traffic? What if the program you have been relying on all of a sudden decide to cancel your account? Or simply disappeared? Do you have a way to react to these types of events?
There are two dimensions to diversification. The first one is the type of income. In the English-speaking world, there are many options. There is contextual advertising like Google Adsense / YPN, there is display advertising, there are affiliate programs, there are even other types of less-traditional programs like ReviewMe, PayPerPost, TextLinkAds, and job boards. To get a flavor of the various types of monetization opportunities, visit a couple of "make money online" blogs, and you'll see what's out there.
The second dimension is the site. Instead of relying primarily on a single site for all, or most, of your income, you should branch out and have multiple sites. This way, if something bad happens to one of your sites (SERP drop, web host going down, etc), it's not catastrophic to your income.
