In order to get published in this book the projects had to fulfill a number of criteria -- be ongoing, innovative and successful, have had high and positive impact on the local community, be cost efficient, easy to replicate and gender sensitive.
The experiences are classified according to the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to serve as an inspiration of practical experiences that work and could be scaled up to achieve the goals everywhere in the world. Thanks to the dedication and commitment of many stakeholders --entrepreneurs, co-operatives and NGOs -- Honduras is transforming and witnessing a new world being created, which offers a better future to thousands of people. An excellent example showing how private initiative can benefit development is the women cooperative "La Sureñita," which started 10 years ago as a small business selling cashew nuts, to become a cooperative employing over 400 women and exporting to 8 countries.
Another successful company with a heart is "Atuto," which started training poor communities in handicrafts-making and is currently exporting thier products employing 180 women and men. Part of the profit still goes to social projects and towards supporting a foundation, which helps children and old people.
Among the most innovative businesses included in the book is "Eco-Tec," which trains municipalities in recycling and waste management and also constructs houses made of recycled plastic bottles in various parts of the country.
Development is never a one-person job. In order to succeed, co-operation and exchange of information between different stakeholders are essential.
The NGO "Red De Desarollo Sostenible" has managed to facilitate, through effective web marketing, the interchange and access to information between public and private sector and educate civil society in Honduras on many topics of sustainable development.
"Project Honduras" is also working towards connecting people involved in development by building a network that has brought more than 500 missions to Honduras, including doctors, educators, small micro-enterprise specialists, etc.
It is unquestionable that volunteering plays a key role in all of these experiences, and a good example is the initiative of the "Instituto Hondureño de Educacion por Radio," which launched the program "El Maestro en Casa." It provides volunteer teachers who visit poor people at their homes in order to offer them a practical solution to get access to formal schooling.
Social entrepreneurs have used their expertise and creativity for many years and managed to offer successful and practical solutions to solve specific problems, thus filling the gaps that are not covered by government and society.
Ideally in the future there should be a government department to support these social entrepreneurs so that their passion and creativity do not get lost and can instead be channeled towards replicating these successful models on a larger scale and help achieving the MDGs.
We believe that the stories of these social entrepreneurs will inspire and encourage many people who seek to construct a better world.
A World Under Construction… a book full of hope!

Association of Art Historians Annual Conference, University of Reading, April 11 - 13, 2013
Deadline: Nov 12, 2012
In their book Remediation: Understanding New Media, Jay David Bolter and Richard Grusin define remediation as 'the formal logic by which new media fashion prior media forms'. Far from a modern construct, however, the authors show that remediation has been an intermittent logic of artistic production from the Middle Ages to the present day. Remediation offers a particularly apt framework for thinking about artistic production in the Middle Ages, and one which eschews the dialectic between originality and reproduction that emerged in later periods.
This session seeks papers that approach medieval art through the lens of remediation, as well as papers that pursue the avenues of inquiry opened up by conceptual intersections between pre- and post-print methodologies of visual expression. How did medieval artists invoke one medium while working in another? What were the motivations behind and the implications of hypermediacy, or, drawing attention to the medium itself? How did the structures or design of one medium come to be cited in another?
Potential topics to be explored include, but are not limited to, architectural reliquaries and canon tables, skeuomorphic objects, incunables that retain or allude to features of manuscripts, as well as wall paintings and sculpture that emulate textiles. Historians of medieval art have been at the forefront of deploying new technology in both research and the classroom. The aim of this session is to further this momentum by forging links between theories inspired by new media and the media of the medieval past.
Please send proposals for 20- to 30-minute papers by 12 November 2012 to:
Proposals should be sent using the paper proposal form at

CONCORD, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. wasn't wearing blue suede shoes Tuesday afternoon, but he did get a chance to channel his inner Elvis.
Earnhardt turned a lap at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the car Elvis Presley drove in the wee hours of the morning the day he died in 1977. The car, a 1973 Stutz Blackhawk, has been preserved at Graceland and had not been driven until this week as it will be on display for the CMS auto fair next week.
"Just to know that he sat in it and to know I got to sit in it myself and put my hands on the wheel and drive it is an amazing feeling," Earnhardt said.
"Knowing the entertainer he was and what he meant to so many people and being a fan myself, it was just really a surreal moment to sit in the car and drive it."
MORE: Earnhardt wants to drive Indy car | Young drivers face long road | What struggling drivers make
Only 3 years old when Presley died, why is Earnhardt such a big Elvis fan? Easy. He used to go to his grandmother's house during race weekends and she was a big fan.
"Her whole house was Elvis from one end to the other — pictures and little figurines and all kinds of stuff," Earnhardt said. "She listened to him on the radio all the time. Every time you went over to her house, she had music in her house playing.
"I grew up around that and became a fan at a real young age."
PHOTOS: Earnhardt drives Elvis car | Latest Earnhardt pics | NASCAR Wives & Girlfriends
Earnhardt's love of Elvis is well-known to his fans, so much so that they send him Elivs memorabilia.
"I had to create an entire room of my house," Earnhardt said. "I have a couple of hundred albums. … I've always been a big fan of his music. The movies are great. My girlfriend loves the movies because of Ann Margret and all that stuff."
What made the moment Tuesday a little unique was that there might come a time when Earnhardt's compound (Dirty Mo' Acres) and his old-West town replica (Whisky River) on the property could become a fan attraction, much like a NASCAR version of Graceland.
"If people want to come take a look at it down the road, I'm sure that would be a pretty cool thing to do," Earnhardt said. "I don't think I'll live there forever. Eventually, especially as my income changes, I'll be downsizing and changing my way of life. But that's probably, hopefully, several years down the road."

Brockway's Derek Buganza is now over 7,000 passing yards for his career. As per D9sports.com, Buganza threw for 310 yards and five touchdowns in the Rovers' 49-21 victory over Sheffield Saturday afternoon.
That gives Buganza 7,057 passing yards and 70 career touchdown passes. He is the 9th quarterback in state history with more than 7,000 passing yards (the first from District 9) and his 70 touchdown passes are good enough for 11th in state history.
Other tidbits/milestones/notables from the past weekend include:
- Wilson Area head coach Bret Comp earned his 100th career victory as the Warriors downed Palmerton, 28-6, Friday night.
- Owen J. Roberts' senior running back Ryan Brumfield surpassed the 6,000-yard mark in rushing yards for his career, following a 26-carry, 246-yard, three-touchdown performance. Brumfield has now run for 6,002 yards and 69 touchdowns in his career – leaving him 555 yards shy of District 1's career rushing standard, set by former St. Pius X back Zach Pierce (6,557 yards).
- Bishop McDevitt's Matt Johnson surpassed the 5,000-yard passing mark Saturday in a 23-0 whitewashing of Gateway.
- Pequea Valley's Ben Meyers surpassed 4,000 career passing yards with a 30-of-37, 389-yard effort against York Tech. Pequea Valley lost the game, 48-46.
- Central Valley won its first game in program history, 35-0, over Pittsburgh City League representative Taylor Allderdice.
- McKeesport was shut out by the Steubenville Big Red Saturday in the "Rally at the Wolvarena" – the first time the Tigers have been kept off the scoreboard in a decade. The shutout was Steubenville's 323rd of its program history.
- Selinsgrove, the defending AAA state champs, was blanked by Mount Carmel, 14-0. It was the third time since 2002 the Red Tornadoes have shut out the Seals (18-0, 2002; 14-0, 2008).

BILBAO, Spain - Vander Blue hasn't been much of a thinker since signing with the 76ers.
"I just play ball," he said. "That's all I know how to do."
The undrafted rookie free agent believes that's the best way for him to remain on the Sixers roster.
So the 6-foot-4 guard, whose team takes on Bilbao Basket here at noon Sunday, doesn't think about the encouraging comments he receives from coach Brett Brown. Nor does he allow himself to reflect on being a reserve wing the Sixers might depend on this season.

I feel like luggage sets are a thing of the past. Its so sad! I have this old old piece of luggage from my grampa and it has lasted nearly 60 years and many many trips all over the world. Meanwhile, my new luggage is falling apart.

Beat the Experts™
The Game Where You Go Head-to-Head
With the Experts
Rules of Play
To be the first player to reach the Final Question space and win the game by winning the Final Question Card.
1. Each player chooses a pawn and places it on the start space.
2. Place the Brain Beater/ Did You Know Cards in a pile to the left of the game board.
3. Place the Expert Cards in a pile to the right of the game board.
4. Place a token on each of the 10 round spaces on the game board numbered 1- 10.
5. Select one Expert Card, and without looking at the card, slide it into the final question Card Sleeve to be used as the Final Question Card for the final round of the game.
6. Follow the instruction below when playing with more than 4 players. Each team acts as one player.
1. The oldest player (Player 1) reads an Expert Card to the player on his/her left (Player 2). Player 1 reads aloud the expert's name and expert category.
2. Player 1 announces how many questions the expert answered correctly. S/he flips over the timer and begins quickly reading aloud the 10 questions on the card.
3. Player 2 answers as many questions on the card as s/he can before the timer runs out.
4. As Player 2 gives each answer, Player 1 announces whether s/he is right or wrong. For each question answered incorrectly, a token is removed from the corresponding number on the game board. (For example, Player 2 answers question 2 and 5 incorrectly, so s/he removes the tokens from the spaces marked with a 2 and a 5.)
5. When the timer runs out, Player 2 determines how many questions s/he answered correctly.
6. If Player 2 beats the expert (answers the same number or more questions correctly), s/he moves tot he next Expert space on the board.
7. If Player 2 does not beat the expert, s/he chooses to move to either the Brain Beater space or the Did You Know space in the next row. (See diagram on the right.)
8. Play then passes to the left and Player 2 becomes the new reader (Player 1).
9. Play through the Expert deck using only one side of the Expert Cards, then play the other side.
1. Expert spaces are marked with the letter E.
2. If a player beats an expert, s/he moves down to the next Expert space on the board.
3. On the player's next turn, s/he will be read an Expert Card.
4. For instructions on Expert Card game play, see numbers 2- 7 under Playing the Game.
1. Brain Beater spaces are marked with a brain icon.

3. Players move one space left, toward the Expert space, for each correct answer they give up to a maximum of 5.
4. If a player gives more than the required number of answers to reach the Expert space, s/he places his/her pawn on the Expert space. (A player cannot move past an Expert space.)
5. If a player reaches the Expert space, on his/her next turn s/he is read an Expert Card.
6. If a player does not give enough correct answers to reach an Expert space, s/he waits until his/her next turn and answers another question from a Brain Beater Card.
7. Players must list enough correct Brain Beater answers to proceed to the Expert space.
8. Play through the entire Brain Beater Card deck using only the top questions on each card. After going through the deck once, read the bottom questions on each card.

5. Players must correctly answer a question from a Did You Know Card in order to proceed to the Expert space for their next turn.
6. Play through the entire Did You Know Card deck using only the top questions on each card. After going through the deck once, read the bottom questions on each card.
1. If a player ends his/her turn on the final Question space, all other players take one more turn. When play comes back to the player on the Expert space, that player becomes the Reader for the Final Question Card.
2. The Reader reads the Final Question Card aloud. (The card remains in the final question Card Sleeve so answers are hidden.)
3. All players (including the Reader) write down the answer to each question.
4. When all question have been answered, the reader reads the correct answers aloud.
5. Players tally the number of questions they answered correctly and announce it to the reader.
Every player must beat the player who is first to reach the final question space. The number of questions each players needs to answer correctly to win the game is determined by how close s/he is to the Final Question space.
2nd Place: 1 more question correctly
3rd Place: 2 more questions correctly
4th Place: 3 more questions correctly
In the event of a tie, the player who was first to the Final Question space is the winner. If the first player to the Final Question space is not involved in the tie, then the player closest to the Final Question space is the winner.

Diane Lane and Josh Brolin, who wed in 2004 and weathered a domestic abuse arrest early in their marriage, are splitting up, their reps tell Usmagazine.com, who cites a source who says, "It's not ugly, it's just over."
Spousal abuse charges were dropped against Brolin in the December 2004 incident, which her rep claimed arose from "a misunderstanding at their home," and that they were "embarrassed the matter went this far." Two more arrests followed for Brolin: one in Shreveport for a bar fight while filming "W.", and one on New Year's Day this year for public intoxication.
The couple didn't have any children together, but Brolin has two children from a former marriage, and Lane has one child from her marriage to actor Christopher Lambert.

The Giant Food Store's "I Care for Kids" Radiothon wrapped up Saturday evening.
Volunteers raised $148,000 for the Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. Radio personalities from the WIOV team worked the phones at Wanner Ford in Ephrata Friday and Saturday.
Their goal was to raise $135,000, which they shattered by about $13,000.
"It's just a wonderful thing. It gives you hope that there are people out there that really do care and help year after year giving money to help kids," said Megan Kennedy, whose son was helped by Children's Miracle Network.
The donations will go towards buying more pediatric equipment at the hospital.

Each year, as the battery manufacturing process is refined and improved, more powerful batteries are created for laptops. This means that if your original
laptop battery was a 14.4 volt, 4000mAh battery, most likely you will be able to find a 4400mAh or 4800mAh battery available. So if you were able to get 3 hours of run time from your battery, you may be able to get 3.5 to 4 hours with a new
Watching a DVD movie on your laptop will significantly decrease the available runtime of your battery.

The same can be said of video games.

Director Kevin Smith knows how to treat his stars. To celebrate the wrap of his romantic comedy Jersey Girl on Nov. 9, Smith gave Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck a full-size video arcade machine, which plays a custom-designed video game called "Jen Saves Ben." Smith commissioned Powerhouse Animation Studios of Austin, Texas, to create the simulation, which begins with animated figures of Lopez and Affleck out on a date. Suddenly, ninjas kidnap Affleck and the Lopez character kicks into high gear, displaying serious martial arts moves. As she sets out to rescue Affleck, Lopez fights a bionic Matt Damon and a ray gun-wielding Smith. The game's soundtrack even features some of J.Lo's music. All in all, it's not your everyday Play-Station 2 title.
Don't mess with Messing. That's the lesson that Harry Connick Jr. learned when he tried to pull a fast one on Will & Grace's Debra Messing. When Con-nick, who's been guest starring on the show as Grace's new boyfriend, learned that Messing had to give away five dozen roses that she had received for her birthday because of allergies, he saw a, shall we say, budding opportunity. Later that day Messing opened her dressing-room door to find a forest of flowers accompanied by a card that read, "Dear Debra, Hope you enjoy them. Love, Harry." Messing, who pondered faking a severe allergic reaction, instead dug up an old photo of Connick all duded up in a fur coat and cowboy hat and had the image enlarged and framed. She then had the picture placed in his dressing room along with a banner that read, "You're too gay to be on this show."
Tennis pros and Hollywood celebs have combined for some memorable love matches: John McEnroe and Tatum O'Neal, Pete Sampras and Bridgette Wilson. Now you can add American ace Andy Roddick and pop singer-actress Mandy Moore to the list. The new couple met last July in Toronto, where Moore was shooting How to Deal and Roddick was playing in an ATP event. The matchmaker? Moore's mom, Stacy, a tennis fan who invited Roddick to the movie's set. I'm told Mandy and Andy hit it off right away and started dating in August, when Moore came to New York City to see Roddick play in the U.S. Open.
Fans of The WB's Angel may be wondering why actress Charisma Carpenter has been getting so many closeups lately, not to mention wearing a lot of overcoats. The answer: She's six months pregnant! The actress tells me she's expecting a boy on March 17. The father is Damian Hardy, a psychology major at Santa Monica College. Hardy and Carpenter were quietly married on Oct. 5 in a small Las Vegas ceremony attended by just their families. They plan on having a larger, more formal wedding ceremony in L.A. after the baby is born.
Ah, the life of a teenage movie star. One minute you're rubbing elbows with glamorous celebrities at the premiere of your new film, the next you're collecting rubbish. Such was the case for young English actor Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. On Nov. 4, the day after attending the London premiere of Chamber—where Grint met up with stars such as Joseph Fiennes, Glenn Close and Eric Idle—the 13-year-old lad arrived at his London school without his gym equipment (or, as they say in England, his "games kit"). As punishment, Grint had to spend a couple of hours cleaning up garbage on the school grounds. Bet that wouldn't have happened at Hogwarts.

For Hospital District, dollars are the driving force behind negotiations with Spohn
When taxpayers make the final debt payment on Memorial hospital next summer, they'll probably know whether Nueces County will allow the Christus Spohn Health System to demolish the hospital ? and the improvements they just finished financing.
The Nueces County Hospital District borrowed money to buy new equipment and overhaul the intensive care unit at county-owned Memorial hospital during 1993, said Hospital District CEO Jonny Hipp, and refinanced the remaining debt a decade later. With the final payment scheduled for July 2015, the county Commissioners Court and Hospital District board have recently weighed Spohn's proposal to demolish Memorial against the prospect of plunging Nueces County back into debt to renovate or replace the hospital.
"On the one hand, I think that Corpus Christi tends to be a city that doesn't preserve its history, like the courthouse and the coliseum. And I don't see Memorial hospital exactly like that, but it does have some significance for the community" said Hospital District board member Irma Caballero. "On the other hand ? and this is my opinion ? I think, financially, that Spohn has a good proposal and that they are trying to be responsive to community needs."
Spohn proposed spending $325 million on three projects: Expanding Shoreline hospital, located just 1.5 miles away on Morgan Avenue; building a new community clinic adjacent to Memorial, which the Hospital District would eventually own; and demolishing the two-building Memorial hospital complex. The Hospital District and the health system have spent nearly three weeks negotiating over the proposal, which wouldn't involve any taxpayer money.
By comparison, any county plan to renovate or replace Memorial would require Nueces County to borrow money and repay the debt gradually over a generation.
"The financial aspects of it, which are obviously driving this deal to a large degree, I think are favorable to us," said attorney Van Huseman, who heads the Hospital District board.
The board recently reviewed a bond analysis prepared by Dallas-based financial adviser Estrada Hinojosa, which looked at various renovation and replacement scenarios ranging from a $150 million bare-bones renovation to a $400 million replacement hospital.
Renovating Memorial, which originally opened without air conditioning and depends on an aging electrical system, probably isn't practical.
Appraisers with Richardson, Texas-based Integra Realty Resources visited Memorial in February and concluded the "remaining economic life for the subject is approximately 10 years," according to the 190-page report. Thoroughly renovating Memorial may actually cost more than simply building a new county-owned hospital.
Perhaps most importantly, County Judge Loyd Neal and the Commissioners Court don't have any appetite for new debt and the accompanying property tax hike, which would range from 4.8 cents to 13 cents per $100 of assessed valuation depending on the scenario. Every penny adds $10 to the annual tax bill for a $100,000 home.
"And it's not easy, because there are concerns and issues," Caballero said. "But again, it's economics that's really a big driving force behind this thing."

Fair Fighter
Stunning, Smart and Single (for Now), Rachel Weisz of the Mummy Returns Has Success All Wrapped Up
Judging by the results—the action sequel grossed $68.1 million its first weekend out—that was one of many good calls Sommers made. It may also serve to transform Weisz. Reprising her role as Evelyn in The Mummy Returns, Weisz plays much more than the staid wife of hero Rick O'Connell (Brendan Fraser) and mother of their 8-year-old child. Adding to her repertoire a scantily clad smarty-pants who helps battle the bad guys, Weisz may find herself becoming a real-life Hollywood babe. The question now is whether the dramatic actress who loves the London stage is truly comfortable with that prospect. "I'm sure there are many days when she would love to be the Movie Superstar," says Sommers. "But most days she's grounded enough to say, 'No, no, what I want is to be a great actress.' "
A goal that for Weisz has meant many things, from playing Catherine in a West End production of Tennessee Williams's Suddenly, Last Summer in 1999 to her turn as a Russian soldier in this year's World War II drama Enemy at the Gates. Neither prepared her for three months spent training for a martial arts combat scene with Velasquez that left both of them bruised. "We kept saying, 'I'm sorry, no, I'm sorry,' " says Velasquez. Adds producer James Jacks: "At first, she didn't quite see [the fighting] as fun. Then, as she got better, she got excited about it."
Weisz has had practice getting used to tough situations. The older child of European Jews who fled the fascism of their homelands for Britain in the '30s, Weisz and her younger sister Minnie grew up in London in what she has called "quite a weird family." Her mother, Ruth, a Viennese-born psychotherapist, insisted that her kids remain silent while she treated patients at home. Having always wanted to act herself, she also encouraged Rachel to try theater-though her father, George, a Hungarian-born inventor, was far less enthusiastic. When at age 13 Weisz was offered a part as Richard Gere's daughter in 1985's King David, he threatened to leave home if she accepted (she didn't). Two years later, he moved out anyway, without revealing his whereabouts. When he came to take the girls for Sunday walks, Weisz told Britain's The Independent, her mother would hide in the bushes to eavesdrop in case he mentioned where he was staying.
Her parents survived their turmoil intact—George remarried and Ruth lives happily alone in Cambridge—but their split took a toll on Rachel. She smoked, cut classes, ran away from home and in general turned into, she told the Daily Telegraph, "a very, very naughty girl." Also a talented one. Studying English at Cambridge University, Weisz formed the Talking Tongues theater company and at 1991's Edinburgh Festival won a student drama award for a play she wrote and acted in. Soon after graduating in 1991 she was cast alongside Ewan McGregor in the BBC miniseries Scarlet & Black—and the roles kept coming. Still, according to Chris Weitz, who is codirecting her in the upcoming Hugh Grant comedy About a Boy, success has not spoiled her: "To use that shopworn phrase, she is very down-to-earth."
Except when she's wearing her Jimmy Choo stilettos. Today, Weisz lives in a $450,000 London apartment, drives a Jaguar and shops at Prada. The only thing she is denying herself: a beau. After a string of failed romances—including one with American Beauty director Sam Mendes—she has opted to give up guys for yoga. But worry not, gents. If the Mummy can return, so can Weisz.

I would go with a cup of Egg Drop or Hot and Sour soup, then either the Chef's Special salmon or crispy duck.
So I have a question...the crispy duck is deep fried so that would be bad right? I was thinking that too but I called ahead and she said it was deep fried.
The link won't make it thru the web filter where I am (lock down! lol) but I like the "pick something from the menu" idea of this thread
by the things kuno1chi suggested, I am also jealous!
I have read in here that Egg Foo Yung is a reasonably primal choice at Chinese places.
They use pretty nasty oils and cornstarch in most prepared Chinese dishes, so they're definitely not primal even if you avoid the rice. However, I've not had a problem asking to get the food just steamed with sauce on the side. A little dab of garlic sauce goes a long way to adding plenty of flavor, I've found.
When I get Chinese food I have one thing I always eat- steamed shrimp with mixed veggies. That's if we're doing take-out, and I can put my own wheat-free tamari on it. Otherwise we go to a sit down buffet where you can put your own raw meat and veg on a plate, with sauce (or not) and have them cook it for you.

New look for bayfront
TOWER, LIBRARY OPEN: Erie's skyline got a boost when the 185-foot Bicentennial Tower opened at the foot of Dobbins Landing on Oct. 10. The $1.9 million structure was financed by the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority as part of a $3.9 million renovation project to Dobbins Landing. In its first few months of operation, more than 17,700 people took the elevator ride or climbed the 210 stairs to the top for a view unlike any other. "To come and see Erie from this point of view, you get a whole different perspective," Erie Mayor Joyce Savocchio told the Erie Daily Times. Countless more perused the 7,100 engraved bricks around the dock, looking for familiar names. Book lovers got an early Christmas present when the 95,000-square-foot Raymond M. Blasco, M.D. Memorial Library opened on Dec. 23. Two trucks made 44 trips over 11 days to transfer the contents from the former main library at Perry Square to the new library. The Blasco Library opened with 250,000 books and 50,000 audio and videotapes. Over 3,000 patrons visited on its first day.

Marshals round up Erie fugitives
Two men accused of committing violent crimes in Erie in November were captured Friday in a sweep for fugitives.
Members of the U.S. Marshals Western Pennsylvania Fugitive Task Force said one of the men turned himself in to Erie police after agents contacted a relative.
Another man and a woman were picked up in the city and turned over to Erie police, they said.
Jamaal Q. Pacley, 19, turned himself in Friday morning and was later arraigned on charges of retaliation against a witness, disorderly conduct, recklessly endangering another person and prohibited offensive weapon.
Erie police filed charges Nov. 6 accusing Pacley of pointing a gun at a victim on East Sixth Street in an incident that police said was related to another criminal investigation.
Tyrone Morrow, 22, was apprehended in the 1000 block of East Seventh Street and was later arraigned on charges of aggravated assault, possessing an instrument of crime and recklessly endangering another person.
Police filed charges on Nov. 15 accusing Morrow of beating another man with a baseball bat in the 500 block of Peach Street on Aug. 19.
Agents on Friday also captured Sonya P. Beard, 42, who was wanted since August 2012 on forgery, theft, receiving stolen property and bad checks charges. Beard awaited arraignment Friday.

FREDERICK — If this is February, the Windsor wrestling team is on a roll.
Make that rockin' and rollin'.
The Wizards, Class 4A two-time defen ding state champions, rolled to the Region 3 title Saturday night at Frederick High School with 284.5 points. Golden finished a distant second with 136 points. Roosevelt was fourth with 125 and Greeley Central eighth (100), Weld Central ninth (89.5), and Northridge 10th (87).
That's the formative look at the Wizards' success story.
The inside look featured an aggressive approach with mindset of pinning.
Throw in a newfound surge of pins for the Wizards, and the conclusion is that they're nowhere ready to surrender their gold trophy and will take 12 wrestlers to this week's state tournament.
Saturday marked the end of their catch-and-release takedown/escape mode that has served them well this season, and the beginning of a bonus-point focus, ultimately resulting in pins.
The Wizards clinched the team title after Saturday afternoon's semifinals and consolation bracket matches, leaving the spotlight for regional champions 113-pounder Joel Salomon, 120-pounder Jonathan Lewis, 152-pounder Keenen Lanteri, 160-pounder Vinny Gonzales, 170-pounder Joseph Keller and 220-pounder Jacob Winter.
The march to the top of the podium for the Wizards started with Salomon, who recorded three pins in the tournament, including one in just 1 minute, 37 seconds over Mead's Sage Budd to run his season record to 48-2.
The Wizards followed suit with six regional champions.
"These guys know that this is the time of the season where you have to peak," Windsor coach Monte Trusty said. "We have a lot of self belief. They also know they're going to be for the biggest fight of their life (for another team title), and they love it.
"We've talked about the past being history though," Trusty added. "We know it's time to crank it up."
Gonzales was tied at 1-1 with 1:15 left in his match against Erie's Ladd Bunker, then turned him for a three-point near fall that made the difference in the 8-5 victory.
"He kind of wrestles funky, and that's the way he's done it all three times this year that I've wrestled him," Gonzales said. "He's slippery, and I knew I had to get going.
"Coach Monte (Trusty) told me that I had to go and that I wasn't pushing the pace, so that got me going," Martinez added. "We're wrestling for bonus points now. That's what's going to make a huge difference."
Keenen Lanteri won his 152-pound title match, going from a 4-4 tie in the second period to a pin in 4:00 over Golden's Devin Rothrock..
"I had a feeling that I'd get ahead of him, and then the pin was there," Lanteri said. "Pins — that's how we're planning on winning."
Windsor's win streak in title matches ended at 182 when Cosme Martinez surrendered a takedown to Mead's Kyle Couch, and then never had much of an opportunity for a solid shot to tie it.
"I didn't set myself up enough for better opportunities," Martinez said. "I hate to lose, but I'm not bummed about it. There's another week."
At 220 pounds, Windsor's Jacob Winter got the Wizards back on the pin track when he made the absolute most of the final 22 seconds of the first period.
Winter scored a takedown on the edge of the mat, then sank a half-nelson in and pinned Mead's Jorge Cortez with 0.1 seconds left in the period.
"Bonus points ... they're so important," Winter said. "I'm really ready to go to state and tear it up."
At heavyweight, Windsor's Robert Bishop-Cotner fell into a couple near falls against Golden's Dakota Gulley, trailing 7-0 after the first period.
"Don't worry about that score right now," Trusty told Bishop-Cotner in between periods. "We need to score and quit giving up points late in the period. There's still a lot of wrestling left."
Bishop-Cotner again struggled late in the period, giving up four points in the final 15 seconds of the second period to trail 12-0 after two.
He persevered to score a third-period takedown, but lost 16-2 to the more physical Gulley.
Bishop-Cotner's struggles hardly dampened the Wizards' horde of accomplishments earlier in the day.
"We know that everything starts over (today)," Trusty said. "We know we're in a slugfest with about 10 different great programs.
"That's what you want though," Trusty added. "This is what we've worked for, and for most of these guys what they've worked a long time for. It's time to really crank it up now."

Hi Chris! This is too funny - I am actually working on a quilt using this exact same pattern. I should finished piecing the topin a day or so, so it will be about a week to sandwich, quilt, bind, and post it on here. Mine will be rainbow colors, and I think it's neat to see different color ways for the same pattern. Yours is so free and fun, and I like how the black makes the pinks just that much brighter. Thanks for sharing, and be on the lookout for my version!

Bondholders think the International Monetary Fund and western governments are forcing them to support a sovereign restructuring process that would violate their interests and those of the international bond market as a whole. Hans Humes propeses a solution that would protect the interests of both debtor and creditor in future sovereign restructurings.
The Argentine crisis has highlighted the split between
private and public sector on how to manage sovereign defaults.
Since November 2001, when Anne Krueger of the International
Monetary Fund made her initial speech on international
bankruptcy to the National Economists' Club, there has been a
barrage of proposed reforms to the current ad hoc system of
external debt restructurings. The focus of many of these
proposals has been to ensure that "rogue creditors," or
minority bondholders who might not agree with the majority's
decision, do not derail future sovereign restructurings.
Bondholders, on the other hand, feel some animosity towards the
international financial institutions after being forced to
suffer reductions in principal in Ecuador and Russia while
public sector creditors took none. The experience in Argentina
so far has not been any better. Not surprisingly, bondholders
have no confidence that the IMF and other multilaterals will
come up with a...

Order Fulfillment: "Kitting" Can Dramatically Slash Your Costs
The term "kitting" is order fulfillment jargon for preassembly of individual items into ready-to-ship kits instead of picking and packing those individual items as orders are received. If you ship similar orders in quantity, the savings potential of fulfillment kitting can be huge.
A Real World Example
Miles operates a web store specializing in nutraceuticals. He ships about 1,000 orders a week and offers a total of 25 different diet and health items. But 80 percent of his orders involve a popular three-for-the-price-of-two offer for his lead product.
Prior to kitting, Miles had his fulfillment house pick and pack all orders as they arrived. The cost was $1.85 per order plus $.40 per item and, in the case of his buy-two-get-one-free orders, his fulfillment cost was therefore $3.05 [$1.85 + (3 x $.40)] per order.
Costs Were Cut Three Ways
At the suggestion of his fulfillment house, Miles switched to preassembly of the buy-two-get-one-free kits and immediately earned three big cost savings.
Reduction of fulfillment fee. The fulfillment fee dropped from $3.05 per order to $2.25 [$1.85 + (1 x $.40)] because all 3-for-2 orders were then processed as prepacked kits thus saving $.80 per order in picking fees. The cost savings offset was the kit assembly labor of $.30 per kit, which was based on a $35 per hour labor fee divided by the 120 kits per hour assembly rate. In spite of the assembly cost, Miles' net pick-and-pack savings was $400.00 per week ($.80 – $.30 = $.50 x 800 orders a week) or $20,800 per year.
Postal savings. The ship weight of the 3-for-2 orders was 14 ounces, which resulted in a Priority Mail delivery cost of $4.95 when shipped in a Priority Mail flat rate box. By kitting the orders using a custom made box, however, the ship weight could be reduced to 13 ounces, which made the entire 800 orders per week eligible for First Class package postage of $3.26 per package. The resulting $1.69 per order postage savings worked out to a $70,306 annual cost reduction.
Expedite weighing and labeling. It was further realized that by accumulating the 3-for-2 orders to twice a week shipping, the fulfillment house could pre-print the first class mail ship labels in 400-order batches, thus eliminating the individual weighing and label printing steps. As such, the base fee per order was cut from $1.85 to $1.30, saving an additional $.55 per order or $22,800 per year.
It is true that not all kitting projects yield savings in all three areas, but in this real life example, the web store merchant was able to use kitting to cut his costs by roughly $114,000 per year.
A Handy Spreadsheet Makes Kitting Easy to Calculate
One reason that fulfillment kitting isn't used more often is the added inventory management problem posed by pulling stock for prepacked kits. Once inventory has been pulled from stock for kitting, it is no longer available to be shipped on its own.
A simple way to manage this is to think of your merchandise or sales literature as "parent" and "child" SKUs (stock keeping units). A child SKU is an individual component and a parent SKU is a collection of child SKU items in a kit ready for sale on its own, as in the above nutraceutical example.
What is needed is a worksheet that lists how many parent and child SKUs are on hand, how many parent SKUs need to be assembled and how many child items will be required. What makes it tricky is one child SKU component may be used for more than one parent SKU kit.
This Template Will Get You Started
Here is an example kitting worksheet that I use, and you can download a copy by clicking here. This one is designed for 25 child SKUs and 5 parent SKUs, but you can easily modify the template to accommodate your unique situation.
In effect, each time you set up a new kitting project you need to enter the parent and child stock-on-hand figures as they are at that time, then enter the estimated number of kits you will need until the next kit assembly session. The spreadsheet reports how many parent kits will need to be assembled and how child items will be left over or need to be ordered for the project. The spreadsheet has redlined reorder points for all child items so that you can control your on-hand stock minimums.
Even though fulfillment kitting is simple, the cost savings potential can be huge. Individual pick-and-pack fees can be reduced, and lower UPS, FedEx or postage charges may be possible by fine-tuning packing materials. And preprinting shipping labels and packing lists in batches could speed up order processing drastically. Kitting does require careful inventory planning and control, but a custom spreadsheet can make that task easy. No matter if you outsource order fulfillment or do it yourself, if kitting is right for you, this could be the cost breakthrough you have been looking for.

Great post John! Wanted to just add a few small thoughts for your opinion and to keep this post active and trending as its a great topic for retailers to pay attention to.
If you are looking for low cost kitting, why not look all the way back to the point of manufacture? Especially if you are manufacturing overseas where hourly/piecemeal work can be extremely low cost. US manufacturers will often similarly be able to handle kitting for less than the cost of order fulfillment/warehouse kitting.
If the merchant is dealing with apparel, there is the "kit of kits" type conversation as well that can get pretty interesting. Two examples are the "Pre-packs" (essentially a kit) typically this is one style one color multiple sizes; or one style, one size, multiple colors. The second are "Musicals (kits of kits)": A bunch of pre-packs assembled into a standard retailer resupply box of sizes and styles that match the retailers' typical apparel buyer patters (Do they sell to large bodies or small?) For musicals you need to understand your end-retailer sales pattern very well and that typically only comes from your retailer telling you what they tend to sell OR working with them for a long time and slowly assembling enough data to understand how to build a musical.

This post helps educate people working smart. Another perspective that I have is:
If you sell "kits" but also many of those products are sold individually, pre-kitting may not be for you. Why? This will require you to have more product on hand (not in kits). It really becomes a balance/analysis of your sales and supply chain.
Another perspective to this would be, if you "kit" on demand – meaning you pull multiple products together as a part of a kit or offer as they are requested or sold. This gives you the flexibility to fulfill single units or kits.

Ecommerce Order Fulfillment for Brands and Manufacturers
I will definitely be passing on this spreadsheet to clients. It's important to demonstrate the math behind the potential savings. I think Eric's point is also an excellent one – ecommerce fulfillment businesses don't necessarily have to offer their clients one option or the other.
I definetly found your article interesting and helpful.
That being said, I am currently writing a thesis regarding a kitting project in a company. Would you by any chance have any recommendation of good litterature regarding this topic?
I'd also like to add if you find the right company, they can become a valuable extension of your business. We are an assembly and kitting company and we monitor the QC of the products we assemble/kit. It's important to us that a quality product goes out because if you loose the customer, we loose too.

"I believe the biggest issue facing youth today is their lack of understanding of how their actions will affect them later. Instead of focusing on their actual improvements of learning, some youth are more focused on the grades that show up on their report card, and overlook the material which they don't understand. These actions lead to confusion as they progress in higher educations, which only slows down their learning careers. Students must find their inner spark and be motivated to challenge themselves intellectually, and not be afraid to learn from their mistakes."

Have you ever thought about the fact that your family has it's own culture? I tend to think of culture in the broad sense…as in Native American culture, Southern culture, Western culture, etc.
One of Webster's definitions of culture is...the characteristic features of everyday existence shared by people in a place or time.
Every family has it's own culture. Some good…some bad…(we're dwelling on the good here)…things like Friday night pizza night, a specific holiday menu, extended family weekend at the lake, cousin sleepovers at the grandparents house and in this case…

Actor joins cast of upcoming Broadway revival
James Earl Jones has nailed down his next Broadway gig, with the thesp set to play a fictional former president of the United States in "Gore Vidal's The Best Man."
Jones currently appears on the Rialto in the revival "Driving Miss Daisy," which ends an extended run April 9. Thesp's name recognition is considered one of the contributing factors to that show's strong sales, in addition to the presence of fellow topliner Vanessa Redgrave and the familiar title.
Jones will play former U.S. prexy Arthur Hockstader in the 1960 play by Vidal. Storyline follows the behind-the-scenes machinations to score a presidential nom at a political party's national convention.
Further casting remains to be set. Michael Wilson ("Dividing the Estate," "The Orphans Home Cycle") helms.
Producer Jeffrey Richards brings the politically themed play back to Broadway a dozen years after an earlier revival of "Best Man" he produced in 2000. Jerry Frankel, Michael B. Rothfeld of Eagle Prods. and Darren Bagert of Infinity Stages, also producers of that staging, are all on board for the new incarnation.
Theater and exact dates for "Best Man" are still to be determined.

RCB innings:
19th over:
A couple of fours by Mohammad Kaif off Steve Smith is good enough to take the Royal Challengers Bangalore into the finals. They now await the winner of the second semi-final between Mumbai Indians and Somerset, which will take place on Saturday.
18th over:
Virat Kohli well and truly comes to the party, hitting a six and two fours off left arm pacer Mitchell Starc. The RCB score progresses to 196/4 as 16 runs come from the over.
16th over:
New South Wales get the wicket of Mayank Agarwal and concede only 12 runs come off the last two overs. The score at the end of the over is 174/4.
14th over:
After 13 runs came of the 13th over, an interesting sequence of events take place in the next one. Gayle's innings comes to an end after he smacks Patrick Cummins for a six and a four on the third and fourth ball. And off the very next ball new man Saurabh Tiwary is yorked by Cummins. Gayle was out after a blistering knock of 92 off 41 balls, an innings which included eight fours and as many sixes.
12th over:
Virat Kohli brings up his fifty as 13 runs come from the over. However, Kohli could have been back in the hut had Cummins not dropped a sitter on the sweeper cover boundary.
11th over:
A six each to Gayle and Kohli as 15 runs come from the over after a bit of a lull in the last few overs.
7th over:
A 16 run over followed by a 17 runs over, the Blues don't seem to have any answers at the moment for the Gayle, Kohli show. It's 88/1 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
5th over:
Cummins is taken to the cleaners by Gayle. The Jamaican smashes two sixes and a four and Kohli also joins in the fun with a boundary. NSW concede 22 runs from the over as RCB take their total to 55/1.
4th over:
Eleven runs come from the over as Stuart Clark is hit for a for and a six by Chris Gayle. It's 33/1 at the end of the over.
3rd over:
Dilshan fails to clear the infield and is out for four as Bangalore lose their first wicket for 22.Henriques takes the catch off the bowling of Cummins.
New South Wales Blues Innings:
20th over:
Six, four, four, six! Warner finishes with an unbeaten 123 as NSW score 23 runs off the last over.
19th over:
Take a bow David Warner! The NSW opener brings up back to back hundreds. After Chennai Super Kings, it's now RCB who feel the heat.
18th over:
Only five runs come from the over, but more importantly for RCB, Aravind knocks over the middle stump of Smith who made 62 off 42 balls.
17th over:
Sixteen runs come from the over, after 25 came off the last two overs. The New South Wales Blues gallop along to 163/1.
15th over:
A couple of sixers, one by Warner and the other by Smith take NSW's total to 137/1 at the end of the over.
12th over:
Wow! What an over. Twenty runs come off it as three fours and a six are hammered by the NSW combination of Warner and Smith. The team from Australia take their score to 106/1.
11th over:
Ten runs come from the over after Smith hits Bhatkal for a six off the very first ball.
8th over: Dilshan finishes with the most economical figures ever by a RCB bowler, 1/10 in his 4 overs. Chris Gayle comes on next, and is smashed for a four by Smith (19*) and a six by Warner (40*). NSW are already 65/1 and Warner's form will be worrying the home side.
6th over: Dilshan has bowled a brilliant spell here, conceding just 6 runs in his 3 overs, besides having picked up Watson. However, skipper Vettori gets the treatment as he comes on in the 6th over, including a huge six by Warner, who has raced away to 30 off 23 balls. Smith is 11*, NSW are 47/1.
4th over: The wicket has made no difference to Warner, though. The Australian, who scored an unbeaten 135 in the previous game against CSK, is displaying similar ominous intent here. Warner (22*) smashes a four and a six, while Daniel Smith (5*) gets off the mark with a boundary, as NSW power on to 33/1. Another expensive over from Nannes, this time costing 16 runs.
3rd over: Dilshan gets the early breakthrough for RCB! Shane Watson's attempted pull is caught by Mohammed Kaif, who is only in the side because of an injury to Syed Mohammad. So Watson goes for 3 and NSW are 17/1.
2nd over: One bowler short, Bangalore begin with the part-time spin of Tillakaratne Dilshan, and he succeeds in keeping the NSW openers quiet, conceding just 2 runs in the first over. David Warner gets two boundaries in the second over though, and 13 runs come off that over from Dirk Nannes, including two wides. NSW are 15/0.
Toss: After a roller-coaster ride into the knockout stages of the Champions League Twenty20 for Royal Challengers Bangalore and New South Wales Blues, the two sides meet in Bangalore on Friday in the first semi-final. And RCB skipper Daniel Vettori has won the toss and elected to bowl first.
After losing their first two Group B matches, RCB came back strongly to first beat Somerset and then South Australia, the last of which was a pulsating win with a six off the last ball of the match. That enabled them to pip Kolkata Knight Riders and the Warriors to the last-four on net run rate, after the three teams ended locked on four points.
For NSW, the tournament began with a loss to Cape Cobras, followed by a win in the Super Over against Trinidad & Tobago. Though the start was least convincing, big wins over Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings were impressive and got them the six points required to move clear into the last-four stage from Group A.
For the all important semi-final, left-arm spinner Syed Mohammad is out with a knee injury, so RCB have replaced him with an additional batsman in Mohammad Kaif.
Meanwhile, NSW captain Simon Katich has kept the same side that comprehensively beat CSK in their last group game, inspired by a blazing hundred by David Warner.
Royal Challengers Bangalore: Chris Gayle, Tillakaratne Dilshan, Virat Kohli, Saurabh Tiwary, Mayank Agarwal, Mohammad Kaif, Daniel Vettori (c), Arun Karthik (wk), Raju Bhatkal, Sreenath Aravind, Dirk Nannes
New South Wales Blues: Shane Watson, David Warner, Daniel Smith (wk), Simon Katich (c), Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, Ben Rohrer, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve O'Keefe, Stuart Clark

Bucatini all'Amatriciana
We arrived to the last course in our journey among the pasta recipes of the Roman cuisine.
I must be honest, even if this recipe is now firmly "planted" in Rome, its origin, as the name implies, is in Amatrice, a town on the border with Abruzzo, being part of it until 1927 when it was transferred to the province of Rieti. There are many variations of this recipe, despite its simplicity, I prefer using lard from the pig's cheek and with no bacon and onion, you do as you please.

Before, it returned a promise in the vat being shutdown, which ignored __whenMoreResolved messages. This should also fix thread-safety bugs in mergeInto, orderlyShutdown and morphInto. I think so, but I'm not ready to approve this yet. Need to spend more time thinking about it and reminding myself of how all this works internally. 4.

Chinese authorities are accusing a Canadian missionary couple of spying.
Kevin and Julie Garratt own a coffee shop in Dandong, a Chinese city near the North Korean border, which they opened in 2008.
Peter's Coffee House, named after their son, made a name for itself in the city for its menu and as a place where locals could practice their English.
Originally from Vancouver, the Garratt's worked as teachers in southern China since 1984 before moving to Dandong and opening the popular coffee shop.
On Monday, Chinese authorities accused them of espionage and stealing state secrets. The couple had been hosting church services in their home and taking food and aid across the border into North Korea, with government permission.
The investigation comes a week after Canada accused a China-sponsored hacker of infiltrating Canada's National Research Council.

SBA Unveils Electronic Loan Application Program
WASHINGTON-The Small Business Administration recently announced that it has developed a new loan application solution for participating lenders. The electronic application system, known as E-Tran, is aimed at saving credit unions and other SBA lenders substantial time and resources when sending a loan application to SBA. In response to requests, SBA has opened up the E-Tran technology to software providers so loans can be submitted directly to SBA or through the software providers for immediate responses. SBA has introduced a number of methods to take advantage of E-Tran including a Web page where lenders can enter loan information for single loans; a secure Web site for multiple simultaneous applications via an XML (Extensible Markup Language) file transfer; and through software intermediaries. Bankers Systems, a leading provider of compliance resource solutions for financial organizations, will be the first provider in the SBA lending marketplace to take advantage of E-Tran through the company's proprietary software, which is being released to participating lenders.
