The Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) said it was promised political dialogue by a Burmese government delegation during talks at the Sino-Burmese border town of Ruili on Tuesday.
Led by KIO politician Sumlut Gam, the KIO did not broach matters relating to a ceasefire between the sides, but instead focused only on calling for a political solution to the ongoing conflict, and fixing a venue for the next round of negotiations, said sources in Ruili.
The government delegation, for its part, felt that the meeting was undermined by the Kachin rebels sending low-ranking representatives to the talks, the sources said.
Speaking to The Irrawaddy on Tuesday, Sumlut Gam said, "War can break out at any time if we only sign a ceasefire without dealing with the political problems by political means—not military means."
He said that President's Office Minister Aung Min promised the KIO that his delegation would discuss items related to political dialogue in the near future. Aung Min also told KIO representatives that he will hold talks with the ethnic bloc United Nationalities Federal Council by December, according to Sumlut Gam.
"The government delegation promised there will be political dialogue," he said. "And they said they wish to hold the next round of talks in Burma—perhaps in Bhamo or in Muse. The KIO can choose the venue."
Sources who spoke to The Irrawaddy said that the KIO representatives sought to verify that political dialogue will be on the forthcoming agenda. The government delegation, on the other hand, urged the KIO to help maintain peace and security along the public highway between Kachin capital Myitkyina and the town of Putao in the far north of Kachin State.
The government delegation also asked the KIO to grant permission to the respective authorities so that work can be restarted on repairing the Taping hydropower dam on the banks of the Taping River in southern Kachin State. They also brought up the issue of the reduction of military forces in the northern region by both the Burmese army and the KIO's military wing, the Kachin Independence Army (KIA).
Meanwhile, sources close to both the KIO and the government delegation said that the latter was "somewhat displeased" that the Kachin rebels had dispatched such a low-ranking delegation to the Ruili meeting while Naypyidaw's team included four ministers.
Sources at the Sino-Burma border said that the government delegation also included high-raking military officials. However, Lt-Gen Myint Soe, the commander of the Bureau of Special Operations (1), who oversees military operations in Kachin State, Mandalay and Sagaing Divisions, opted not to attend the meeting after learning that the KIO had sent what he considered a lowly delegation.
Myint Soe and a handful of other military officials decided not to attend the peace talks when they reached the border town of Muse and were told that Maj-Gen Sumlut Gun Maw, the vice-chief of staff of the KIA, and a few other Kachin military chiefs would not be present at the meeting.
KIO sources, however, maintained that Gun Maw was unable to attend the meeting as he is too busy overseeing military activities in Kachin State.
The KIO is the largest ethnic armed group that has not signed a ceasefire agreement with the new government. It has met with government peace delegations several times this year but without tangible results.
According to Hla Maung Shwe, a government peace broker, the Burmese government is now considering withdrawing some of its troops from KIO territories.
Sources close to the KIO said that the Kachin leadership wants talks to include not only ceasefire details but also political affairs, and that negotiations should include representatives of all ethnic armed groups.
Recently, the UNFC said that it will informally meet the Naypyidaw delegation, probably in Thailand during the first week of November.
The Irrawaddy reporter Nang Thiri Lwin also contributed to this article.
Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises, for never intending to
go beyond promise, it costs nothing.
Remember KIO, the regime is buying time with these fake meetings and promises that they never tend to deliver before they laund full assault on you. So be vigilant and be ready with the media! The world must know that what KIO is doing is a very democratic process and their demands are the wishes of the Kachin people that are the very master and owner of the Kachin State. We will support you along the way so don't give up.
According to Hla Maung Shwe, a government peace broker, the Burmese
government is now considering withdrawing some of its troops from KIO
MAKE IT HAPPEN man for the Kachin people STANDING for THEIR RIGHTS and SOVEREIGNTY and BURMA'S AS WELL no less.
As oft spoken WITHDRAWING ALL BURMESE TROOPS OUT OF KACHIN STATE is the RIGHT REMEDY and NON-NEGOTIABLE for PEACE in Kachin land I say.
The SAME should be APPLIED in ALL ETHNIC STATES as well BEFORE PEACE TALKS – political wise as well – TAKE PLACE in turn would LEAD to NATIONAL RECONCILIATION at this time and juncture when/where BURMA is UNDER THREAT from Bangali Muslims in the WEST and CHINESE COMMUNISTS (UWSA and SHAN rebels) in the NORTH with their HIDDEN AGENDAS to ESTABLISH their ENCLAVES on Burma's soil no less.
I BOW MY HEAD to KIA/Kachins for STANDING TALL – rights, sovereignty and territorial integrity – in this matter since day one until today.
Myitsone Dam Project MUST BE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY as well among other Chinese interests in Kachin State and COPPER MINE PROJECT and others – in the Burmese heartland as well.
Chinese ambassador's BULL TALK – copper mine project would go ahead despite the people showing their opposition citing negative enviromental impact and others and even if the Burmese government opposed as well – certainly THREATENS BURMA'S SOVEREIGNTY, TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY not to mention INSULTING the DESIRE of the PEOPLE of BURMA least of all.
The communists BACKED DOWN in CHINA when the people of China showed their OPPOSITION on Chinese communist government projects in China.
The Chinese communists should HEED the WILL/DESIRE of the PEOPLE of BURMA or THEY WILL RUE the DAY when the PEOPLE of BURMA make their CASE, of course would be VERY DETRIMENTAL to the Chinese projects and interests in Burma.
Hence, WITHDRAWING Min Aung Hlaing's troops out of Kachin land BEFORE the NEXT ROUND of TALKS takes place would certainly PROVE the POINT – Naypidaw is SINCERE – for that matter – ETHNIC PEACE – vital for Burma's PROSPERITY and POSTERITY as well like Thein Sein said lately.
as a kachin….i know that burmese gov't will promise the moon to get what they want……promise, agreement, witness and etc mean nothing to burmese gov't…..kachins must not put any cent of trust in burmese millitary turned gov't unless we witness the implementations of the future agreements.
I would love nothing more than compromise by both sides. But compromise that's not a solution is a waste of time. Let's have compromise that's a solution.
"Naypyidaw Promises Kachins Political Dialogue"
Compromise, if not the spice of life, is its solidity. It is what makes nations great and marriages happy. Compromise- better bend than break.

Welcome to the Coalfields Regeneration Trust
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is the leading regeneration organisation dedicated to improving the quality of life in Britain's former mining communities. We are a charitable company and social enterprise with teams deployed across England, Scotland and Wales.
Since 1999 we have invested hundreds of millions of pounds into projects that make a positive difference to the lives of people in our target communities across Britain and we develop programmes and deliver activities that help people gain new skills, achieve qualifications, find work, set up and grow new businesses and become more active in their communities. Whilst these activities have impacted positively on thousands of people over the years, challenges still remain and we are committed to responding to these.
New Strategy Launched
We launched our new strategy (2016-2019) at Westminster on 1st March 2016. The strategy reaffirms our commitment to the coalfield communities of England, Scotland and Wales, sets out our new objectives in the context of the evidenced problems and reflects on the need for collaboration and partnership to address these. A PDF version can be downloaded through the following link Our Strategy 2016-2019
Study Evidences the Need for Continued Support of Coalfield Communities
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust commissioned the Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research at Sheffield Hallam University to compare economic and social conditions in the former mining areas of England, Scotland and Wales with the rest of the country.
'The State of the Coalfields – economic and social conditions in the former mining communities of England, Scotland and Wales' report identifies there are still significant problems for the majority of Britain's coalfield communities such as; fewer jobs; lower business formation rates; higher unemployment rates; more people with serious health issues; higher numbers in receipt of welfare benefits and a struggling voluntary and community sector than national averages. The report goes on to say that for the 5.5 million people in Great Britain who live in former mining areas, there is still a 'compelling case' for continued support and access to funding.
The full report can be downloaded through the following link: publications
Trustee Recruitment
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust is calling upon its communities to join its Board of Trustees to make a lasting and positive difference for future generations.
Looking to appoint two new members to the Board, for the first time the organisation is putting out a direct appeal to its communities, to encourage those that understand the many and varied challenges faced by the coalfields, to come forward.
Having recently launched a three-year strategy, the organisation is committed to addressing the shortage of skills, lack of jobs and poor health within the coalfields throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Chief Executive of the Coalfields Regeneration Trust, Gary Ellis said: "We have made such an impact over the last 15 years and need to continue with this momentum in order to change the lives of those living in the coalfields. There is still a job to be done, and that is why the appointments to the board are fundamental to our ongoing success.
"We are keen to put in place a board that is reflective of the communities in which we work, and as such want to champion diversity. We would encourage anyone who has a real desire to want to change the future for former mining communities to apply."
For further details, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
Please note that the closing date will be Friday 2 September at 5pm.

The final score was 4-3 Hurricanes in a shootout, but that can't be the big story tonight. The big story is the culmination of a rebuild. It was a sloppy game that wasn't really as close as it looked and really, the Isles didn't deserve to win, but a late, game tying goal gave the Isles an important point and a little help from the Washington Capitals put our New York Islanders into the playoffs for the first time since the 2006-2007 season. A team destruction, a pending relocation and the evolution of the rebuild later, the greatest American hockey dynasty is ready to make some post-season noise. Let's do this. Get your tickets, deafen some opposition and send the NVMC out on a high note!

Allstate (NYSE: ALL ) is insuring that its stockholders continue to receive payouts from the company. The firm has declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.25 per share. This will be distributed on July 1 to shareholders of record as of May 31. That amount matches the insurance provider's previous disbursement, which was handed out at the beginning of April.
True to the nature of its business, Allstate is steady and habitual in the paying of dividends. Since the beginning of 2009, its distribution has grown incrementally, from $0.20 per share to the current level.
The just-declared dividend annualizes to $1.00 per share, which yields 2% at Allstate's most recent closing stock price of $49.08.

William Combe was born in Bristol on 25 March 1741 to Robert Combes, an ironmonger, and Susanna Hill, who died in 1748. He was named after his father's business partner, William Alexander, a London Alderman, who was also Combe's godfather and later his guardian. Combe was educated at Eton College, which he left after his father's death in 1756; it is unclear how Combe spent the next few years. On 22 February 1760 Combe entered the Temple as a bencher, but did not stay long enough to be called to the Bar. When he came of age in 1763, Combe inherited a substantial legacy from his father's and guardian's estates. He used this money to travel to France and to live extravagantly, but appears to have exhausted his funds by 1770.…

Funding Unsuccessful
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 18, 2011.
This project's funding goal was not reached on September 18, 2011.
Bobaloo Films partnering with the writing team of Chris and Kathy Vander Kaay have come up with a sitcom premise based on the life of a new youth pastor. Shot in the style of "The Office" by cinematographer Daniel Trout. Our production team of Kurt deVries, Michael Beazel and Tony Senzamici have already pitched the show to NRB and CTN both Christian broadcasting networks. Both are interested in the project, however, being a non-profit networks there is no money in their budgets for programming. We need to produce a pilot for them to preview. Being broadcast on NRB has the potential to reach 19 million Directv subscribers. The money raised on Kickstarter will go directly to funding the production of the pilot. Once capital is raised and shooting starts we should be able to sell episodes on various outlets such as Worshiphouse Media and Sermonspice. This should allow us to continue shooting an entire 12 episode season. The show will be filled with everyday situations that effect teens and their parents, with a splash of comedy mixed in. Bobaloo Films will be marketing this project to youth groups nationwide along with airing the show on various networks. We firmly believe that this is an incredible project and we look forward to bringing this project to light with your help.

Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson had his reasons for firing defensive coordinator Al Groh midway through the season, and he candidly shared them on Wednesday during the weekly ACC coaches' teleconference.
Johnson wasn't defensive about his decision; rather he took the time to explain it.
"It was apparent to me that our guys were having a hard time doing what we were asking them to do," Johnson said. "I think we had 47 missed assignments in the Clemson game. Some of the stuff we were trying to do was good stuff if you can do it, but we were having a hard time doing it."
Johnson's reasons were all valid, and Groh's firing was hardly unexpected. It was the timing of it that caught many by surprise. The focus during the bye week will be getting back to basics and playing faster on defense, Johnson said. The Jackets aren't going to shy away from Groh's 3-4 scheme -- this year or next season -- but they are going to move away from the two-gap philosophy, which was giving the players fits, and revert to the one-gap. The two-gapping is rare at the collegiate level, but pro teams have stronger, faster athletes who can get it done. It requires a player to fight off a block, and make a tackle to his left or right.
"It became apparent to me we were struggling with it," Johnson said. "We did not have the personnel to do what we were doing. Now do we have the personnel to do something else? We're going to find out."
Johnson said simplifying things will help the players, as will a more conventional approach. Johnson said every facet of the game needs to improve, but that the most glaring problems have been with the defense.
"The weakest link right now had been there and it didn't seem to be getting better," Johnson said. "In fact, it seemed to be going the other way."
Johnson said his decision to fire Groh was about 12 games in the making, and was an "ongoing process" dating back to last season.
"It just came to the fact we weren't playing very well," Johnson said. "We've played football for a long time here at Georgia Tech, and we managed to give up 40 points in three consecutive games for the first time in the history of Georgia Tech football. Statistically we were 107 or 108 in the country on third downs. We were 91st in scoring. Any way you look at it, it wasn't good. If you keep doing the same thing -- and I think Al Groh is a very smart man, he's a good man -- but clearly it wasn't working for us. He has a system and he runs his system. His system was not working for us, so we have to try to change. The definition of futility would be to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. It wasn't working."
"We have to play better than that," Johnson said. "In my opinion, we need to see if we can. Maybe we won't be able to, but I feel like we will. I think we can play better than that. Ultimately, I'm responsible for it, so I have to do what I feel gives us the best chance to win."
Miami coach Al Golden, who spent four seasons (2001-04) at Virginia as defensive coordinator under Groh, said he was surprised by the decision.
"I was shocked," Golden said. "I don't think there's any question. I think everybody knows how I feel about Coach [Groh] and what he's meant to my career, and the opportunities that he afforded me. But I'm not there, I don't know what's transpired. I know Al, if he wants to continue to coach, he'll bounce back. He's an excellent coach."

In much the same way that the LeBron 8 V/2 Low's 'Miami Nights' colorway translated to the Nike LeBron 9 in a much darker manifestation, the same can be said about the Bright Mango edition of both pairs. The 'Bright Mango' LeBron 9 opts for a silver-on-black base layer that's almost identical to the others mentioned above, but this model is a bit closer to its predecessor thanks to the obvious inclusion of its signature orange/red shade. And with the Dunkman on the way with a slightly darker approach to the same basic template, which of these three black/grey designs with high-energy accents gets your vote? Let us know when you click through to see new photos of this March 2nd release and stick with Sneaker News for all the LeBron 9 release dates. via ITSB

TORONTO - To play drunk, Aaron Paul got drunk.
He didn't show up on set soaked in alcohol, mind you, but for Smashed - the compelling, careening indie about a Los Angeles couple wed to each other, and wed to the bottle - there was research to be done. And Paul, a diligent actor who has won two Emmys for playing Jesse Pinkman, the meth-head protégé of Bryan Cranston's Walter White in AMC's Breaking Bad, felt he needed to investigate what being smashed was all about.
"I'll have an occasional beer or two, you know, but never like getting plowed all the time," explains Paul. And so, to play Charlie, an idle rich kid married to Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Kate - a schoolteacher who regularly arrives in class seriously hungover - he took to the booze. But never during the shoot, he wants to make clear. Smashed, which premiered last month at the Toronto International Film Festival, opens Friday at the Ritz Five and Rave Motion Pictures at the Ritz Center/NJ.

Reeves halts Warriors playoff run
Northside Christian's Nicholas Zaunbrecher pulls up for a shot during a recent game. Zaunbrecher scored eight points Tuesday during the Warriors' 51-46 Class C regional playoff loss to Reeves.
CROWLEY – Reeves' Travis Schultz poured in 12 of his game-high 32 points in the fourth quarter Tuesday to lead the Raiders to a 51-46 come-from-behind victory over Northside Christian at Seth Trahan Memorial Gym.

Scott kept the Raiders in the contest in the first half by scoring eight points in each of the first two quarters.
The Raiders cut into the lead in the third quarter by outscoring the Warriors 10-8 behind four points each from Shultz and Israel Richard.
Tracy Wilridge scored eight of his 10 points in the fourth quarter for the Warriors, but Schultz and the Raiders outscored NCS 18-10 to pull out the victory.
Wilson paced the Warriors with 16 points and Trahan had 10. Zaunbrecher finished with eight.

Like most recent broad-scale surveys of the Jewish population in local communities, the recently released Jewish Community Study of New York explores the impact of childhood Jewish education, including "supplemental schooling," on adult Jewish identity.
The conclusion of the report: The old model of Jewish education in which parents dropped children off in a classroom for a few hours of instruction, in isolation from Jewish family engagement and Jewish communal life, yields little to nothing in the life of a child. Who could disagree with the findings of the study?
Not us. We, leaders of local and national organizations committed to transforming yesterday's model, wholeheartedly agree. We know that the largest number of children who will receive a Jewish education in non-Orthodox settings will do so in congregations. Happily, we can say, the transformation the community seeks is not just a wish and prayer, it's a reality. New York is leading the way with a network of congregations, known as The Coalition of Innovating Congregations, that have over the last five years opened doors to meaningful and joyous learning for children and families by replacing classroom-only experience with Jewish learning that lives.
So let's report the news, not the history. The old model doesn't work and in 2012, over 50 congregations with close to 3,600 children and 1,000 Jewish educators are creating a dynamic new landscape of Jewish education.
The changes have been dramatic: more family-based and experiential learning, more attention to making learning life-relevant, a greater emphasis on nurturing relationships and building community, connections to other educational venues like camp and more intensive preparation of educational leaders and teachers. Truly, this is not your father's or mother's "Hebrew school."
Don't take our word for it. Take a closer look at a few of the diverse models created by members of The Coalition.
Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El offers, instead of classroom-only learning, multiple options for children to experience Jewish living within a caring community. Preteens and teens participate in Mitzvah Corps focused on social justice. Each experience, whether at soup kitchens or animal shelters, is grounded in Jewish text. Students also reflect to create meaning, articulate values and build relationships with their peers. This cycle of learning, doing and reflecting ensures meaningful learning that can inform adult choices.
Emanu-El, like all congregations in our coalition, continues to explore new ways to engage families. This year it is launching a "Tribes" model, where children build communities across ages, grouped by shared interests. Teens will lead Jewish rituals for welcoming, celebrating and honoring the highs and lows of children's lives, everything from getting a soccer trophy to experiencing a death in the family. Emanu-El is also participating in the Jewish Journey Project, a pilot project in which synagogues, JCCs and other Jewish institutions, collaborate to provide children with a wide variety of courses from which to choose.
Meanwhile, children at the Community Synagogue of Rye (CSR) in Westchester participate in the Havurah Model. Weekly, children meet in groups of 10 in each other's homes or in other settings that provide the appropriate context for that week's learning (the mall, a yoga studio, Shabbat dinner at their teacher's home). Havurah learning is based on the interests and questions of the children. They are asked: "What is something important you hope to accomplish in the next three months?" or "If you can make a difference to someone what would that be?" Then educators bring a Jewish response to the children's questions.
Families at CSR also celebrate holidays/Shabbat once a month in the temple or in homes. Children participate in weekly Skype Hebrew lessons, and in communal learning or celebrations at the temple (e.g. Shabbat morning family learning) and social activities like movie night. Instead of children learning what someone else tells them is interesting about Judaism, they build their relationships with Jewish study through their own questions.
Another example is Temple Beth Sholom (TBS) of Roslyn, L.I., which offers multiple models for Jewish learning and Jewish living. Its Shabbat Family Model enables families to come together for regular study, prayer and social time. Establishing relevance to real life is a priority. Families also meet once a month to put Torah into action through Tikkun Olam projects. Instead of the children learning about Judaism as if it were a subject to be accessed some time in the future, Judaism becomes part of the fabric of the family.
TBS is also a Camp Connect Congregation. With funding from the Foundation for Jewish Camp, they are building mentoring relationships for every child and family, linking them to nine overnight camps, and infusing year-round experiences with the song and spirit of camp.
These are just a few examples of dynamic models of Jewish learning created by the Coalition of Innovating Congregations that speak to the real lives and real questions of today's families. To learn more, visit innovatingcongregations.org. Hear the voices of children and parents who are being nurtured by powerful Jewish learning. Listen for voices like Emma's, a child in Emanu-El's Mitzvah Corps program, who says, "Before we were sort of just sitting in the classroom and hearing about it and maybe doing an activity or two. Except now we learn about it, we go out and do what we just learned about, and then we reflect upon it … you can relate to what you're talking about." And then click to hear Julian from the Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore say, "It was like school … and now it's like, it's like going to a friend's house …"
These are the voices of today's young people that will be captured in the next Jewish Community Study of New York. Not every child sounds like this … yet. But, we're not stopping until they do. And, if you don't hear these kinds of reflections from your children, then we call on you — parents, clergy, teens and educators — to roll up your sleeves and join the Coalition of Innovating Congregations in creating Jewish education that matters. No one should accept anything less.
Cyd B. Weissman is director of innovation at The Jewish Education Project. Robert Weinberg is national director of the Experiment in Congregational Education at Hebrew Union College's Rhea Hirsch School of Education.
Bravo! My colleagues in Congregational Learning are making incredible strides, and truly changing the face of Jewish education in synagogues across New York.
I hope you'll take a moment to explore the work of the Coalition, and check out videos of some of the models they are creating in their congregations. You can dig in here: http://innovatingcongregations.org/

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Cheats
[Edited by broddersamse, 11/11/2011 2:58:28 AM]
Can anyone bring some light into this matter?
Will using this trainer in Spec Ops (online with a friend)
get u banned for life from MW 3?
Please!! Trainer creator please advise?
[Edited by wullie911, 11/9/2011 1:24:50 PM]
chances are it would result in a ban i think.
[Edited by wullie911, 11/9/2011 1:24:50 PM]
Nope. i have used the trainer on ALL my sec ops Single.
Restistance wave 120 lol already a general! hahahaha completed all hardended SPEC OPS with Trianer.
And i have not been banned.
use Rapid fire-grenade launcher LOLLLLLLL SUPER DESTRUCTION!
Won't! work on anything Multiplayer, thats a chance if you wanna take it... of getting banned! The trainers are not made for us to go online live with. you get banned thats your on fault. best to use only for Offline usage to be safe.
[Edited by Vendeatha, 11/10/2011 9:12:51 PM]
maybe its just staring into it's own reflection - unknown
personally on a top dollar game like mw3 i would avoid the risk since spec ops isn't even hard nor is the single player. these game modes really get you in the mode of thinking also for multi-player so you are somewhat gimping yourself. i still love CH for other games but use it at your own risk.
TL;DR i don't think anyone can know if it's a vac ban for another month or 2.

- Not from the story itself, but one reader's thoughts on what Humanity would say to the Compact is they were still around is too appropriate not to include:
"Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair..."
- Humanity gets a retroactive one just for successfully creating a stable AI. Creating a powerful AI is much easier than making a powerful, friendly AI, and the reason that the superpowers are so paranoid about AI is that they've seen what happens when someone screws up with it. Which is what usually happens: according to the author, civilizations reach the point where they can make an AI well before when they should, and most everyone that makes them gets destroyed by them. Humanity got vengeance from beyond the grave and a nigh-eternal monument instead.
- Chapter 36 increases the awesome here. Even with access to at least one human AI and two millennia, the Compact can't create a countermeasure to Red One that won't turn on them.
- Echo's con-job on Renan. She's led him to believe she's the Compact's only hope of figuring out what Red is up to - true, only a seed AI can keep up with another mentally. She's now convicing him she's the only one who can match Red at electronic warfare - also true, both are seed AI. Too bad for Renan she has no intention of letting the Compact actually beat Red - she's covertly arranged for Red to acquire the task force's access codes, letting Red hack Compact ships from far outside the usual range and forcing Renan to let her work on the computer core.
- Which in turn allows Echo to hijack the Compact Chariot Redemption of Sol.

Miley Cyrus Shows Off a Toned Down New Look on ELLE's October Cover (Forum Buzz)
Miley Cyrus has been absent from the magazine circuit for quite some time and it's hard to believe that her last notable cover appearance was back in 2015 for British ELLE. The American edition of ELLE has brought Miley back into our lives on the cover of its recently unveiled October 2016 issue. After winning us over with Cara Delevingne last month, ELLE hits a home run for the second month in a row. Photographed by Terry Tsiolis, the "Wrecking Ball" singer sports a toned-down look for the light, airy and refreshing cover shoot, looking more at ease than she ever has before.
Members of our forums were loving ELLE's take on Miley. "What a beautiful cover! I love everything about it. She looks so gorgeous… And the layout actually works. They should stick with this," praised MON.
"What a lovely cover!" added Handbag Queen. (more…)

Selected Shorts: Rebel Yiddish Writers
Unusual stories from Yiddish writers, and a contemporary take on Job make up this program.
The first two stories in this program were read at a SELECTED SHORTS live performance called "Rebel Yiddish Writers," which was devoted to writers who rebelled against the traditional description of much of modern Yiddish literature — realistic, sentimental, and nostalgic elegies of the European shtetl and passions of the immigrant-filled Lower East Side.
In contrast, the writer Moishe Nadir, whose story "My First Love," begins this program, was a 1920s Greenwich Village bohemian who wore a French beret and smoked cigarettes in an ivory holder, which set in his teeth at a rakish angle. Some of his modernist tales ventured into the surreal, like "The Man Who Slept Through the End of the World," heard in an earlier SELECTED SHORTS season. "My First Love," is more realistic, but also extravagant and playful, and is read by John Shea, the Irish-American actor who originated the role of the yeshiva boy in Isaac Bashevis Singer's play "Yentl."
The author of our second work is the novelist and story writer Sholem Asch, who earned the disapproval, suspicion, and even scorn of the Yiddish literary establishment by daring to write "The Nazarene," a novel from a Jewish point of view about Jesus of Nazareth. This book, and his subsequent novels "Mary" and "The Apostle," about St. Paul, were forbidden volumes in many American Jewish households. Asch's "A Quiet Garden Spot" deals with nothing so radical, but is a penetrating look at a family and its tensions and sorrows. The reader is Laura Esterman.
Our final story is Aimee Bender's "Job's Jobs." Bender, a contemporary American Jewish writer, uses a biblical reference to frame her tale of an artist's vexing struggles. This story was read at The Getty Museum in Los Angeles by Anjelica Huston.
The musical interlude in this program is "Chassidic Waltz", by Andy Statman, from the album "Between Heaven and Earth." The SELECTED SHORTS theme is Roger Kellaway's "Come to the Meadow."

87% of households wasting £2.2billion a year on energy bills instead of switching gas and electricity providers online. more
Fixed tariff energy deals are declining so consumers should switch now say experts. more

Broadband consumers still being shortchanged by line speeds, says uSwitch.com. more
BT has announced that it will now be offering Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 to its digital TV customers.
Following a ruling by Ofcom which said that Sky had to make its sports channels available to other digital TV providers at regulated prices, in the name of competition, BT is making it available to its customers from today.
On a month-by-month basis, BT Vision customers can get Sky Sports 1 or Sky Sports 2 for £11.99 a month for one, or £16.99 a month for both.
Customers who opt for a broadband and phone bundle for 24 months can save on their sports intake, choosing Sky Sports 1, ESPN and 'on demand' sport for £6.99 a month, or Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2, ESPN and 'on demand' sport for £11.99 a month.
The £11.99 deal will shows that BT is taking on its competitors in a price war – BT says it will save sports fans £205 compared to the equivalent package from Sky, and £281 compared to Virgin Media's prices.
BT said in a statement that it has launched the Sky Sports offerings in time for the kick off of the Premier League football season on 14 August.
Commenting, Gavin Patterson, chief executive of BT Retail, said: "Football fans will be cheering our new prices, which mark an end to paying for basic channels when you only want the sport."
He also said that "A more competitive market will ensure that customers continue to get the best sport for the sharpest prices and this opening of the market will be in the best interests of customers."
Michael Phillips of Digitalchoices.co.uk welcomes the fact that BT has priced its broadband, phone and TV sports bundle so aggressively – "Sky, Virgin Media and BT now all have genuine solutions for sports fans."
"The coming season's pay-TV decision for football fans has just got a lot harder. With first year cost savings of over £100, BT has priced its Sky Sports 1 and 2 with ESPN offering to warrant serious consideration from anyone looking to bundle their TV with broadband and phone."

to Protect Workers from Ergonomic Injuries
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. -- Workers involved in the bakery industry will be safer thanks to a new partnership announced today by the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Pepperidge Farm at its Downingtown, Pa. plant.
"This partnership is a major step forward to ensure the protection of the many workers at Pepperidge Farm," said Richard D. Soltan, regional administrator for OSHA in Philadelphia. "We look forward to helping them continue the important work being done through their ergonomic improvement process."
OSHA's Strategic Partnerships for Worker Safety and Health are part of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao's ongoing efforts to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative relationships with groups including trade associations, labor organizations, and employers.
The primary goal of the three-year partnership is to further the cooperative relationship between OSHA and Pepperidge Farm to help reduce work-related injuries and illnesses associated with ergonomic risk factors. Other goals include: improving the ergonomic safety performance at Pepperidge Farm, Inc.'s Downingtown plant by four percent per year; fostering outreach and communication within the safety profession; and promoting a national dialogue addressing musculoskeletal injuries and illnesses.
For more information, contact the Philadelphia OSHA Area office at (215) 597-4955.
Since its Strategic Partnership Program began in 1998, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has formed more than 300 partnerships, impacting over 13,000 employers and 573,000 employees across the United States.
OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
