At Computex Taipei 2009 trade-show Intel Corp. unveiled its low-power central processing units (CPUs) as well as core-logic sets aimed at ultra-thin laptops designed for consumers. The new chips are priced in accordance with their market positioning.
"With an ultra-thin laptop powered by Intel ultra-low voltage processors, consumers experience a unique balance of performance and power consumption that is incomparable in the market today – all in a slim, sleek package. And at mainstream price points, Intel is proud to deliver ultra thin for all," said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of the mobile platforms group at Intel.
Intel believes that the new mobile processors with moderate pricing will help the company to popularize yet not very popular category: ultra-thin laptops for consumers. In fact, considering how netbooks quickly gained market acceptance in the last two years, Intel may well have chances to promote its so-called consumer ultra-low voltage (CULV) platform.
A lot of mobile PC users are already used to highly-portable netbooks with 11" or even 12" screens. But once Windows 7 launches later this year, netbooks will cease to have netbooks larger than 10.1" and consumers looking for extra mobility will be virtually forced to acquire notebooks with fully-fledged operating systems, but with more affordable microprocessors.
Traditionally ultra low-voltage processors have been used for ultra-portable notebooks aimed at business users who need long battery life amid sufficient performance and functionality. Many of such ultra-portable computers are state-of-the-art pieces of engineering and employ the latest technologies to provide excellent reliability, stability, battery life, security and other qualities that have tremendous value for those on the road. Intel believes that the new processors will finally enable consumer-oriented ultra-thin notebooks.
However, since consumer-oriented platforms have to be affordable, system makers will not implement their state-of-the-art technologies, such as active hard disk drive protection, powerful yet light batteries, high-quality materials and so on, to keep the costs down, which will make the notebooks somewhat less attractive in general compared to existing ultra-thin laptops.
One of the first CULV processor is Intel Pentium SU2700 (1.30GHz, 2MB L2 cache, 800MHz bus, 10W thermal design power). Additionally, Intel will offer its customers Core 2 Solo SU3500, SU9500 and Celeron M 725. In addition to the microprocessors, Intel unveiled the Mobile Intel GS40 core-logic for the new ULV-based laptops. This value chipset enables ULV-based laptops to support features consumers have come to expect from laptops including HD playback, Windows Vista Premium support and native support for integrated HDMI.
According to Intel, the company has over 40 design wins with its CULV-class hardware. Consumer-oriented ultra-thin notebooks will be available from companies like Acer, Asustek Computer, Dell, Dixons, Fujitsu, HP, Lenovo, LG Electronics, Medion, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and so on.

New look coming to Fort Dodge trash collection system
Most Fort Dodge residents will experience a whole new way of taking out the trash and recycling materials later this year.
The days of putting the trash in plastic bags will end. Also, the process of sorting materials for recycling before putting them into a blue bin will conclude.
The bags and bins will be replaced with 96-gallon containers provided by the city. One will be for trash. Recycling materials, which will not have to be sorted, will go in the other one.
Those bins will be picked up by new trucks that will lift and empty them with mechanical arms.
The new sanitation collection system is proposed to begin in seven to eight months, City Manager David Fierke told the City Council Monday.
The proposed 2013-2014 budget for the sanitation division of the Public Works Department includes about $1.3 million for equipment needed to switch to the new collection system.
That total includes $500,000 for two new garbage trucks with the mechanical arms.
It also includes $854,500 to buy the containers that will be given to homeowners.
The City Council examined the spending plan for sanitation and was briefed on the new system as it continued its work on the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.
The total sanitation budget is proposed to be $2,460,443.
The current budget is $1,232,741.
The purchases needed for the new system account for much of the increase.
The city government has cash to pay for the new trucks and the containers thanks to a 2010 rate increase. On July 1 of that year, monthly sanitation bills went from $9.60 per month to $14.50 per month.
The new system follows an ongoing test in the city in which 200 households – 100 on the north side and 100 on the south side – have been allowed to dispose of their recycling materials by putting them unsorted into containers provided by the city. That test began in September.
According to Public Works Director Greg Koch, 65 percent of the the 200 households included in the test are now using curbside recycling.
Prior to the test, he said, 12 percent of them participated.
He attributed the increased participation to the ease of placing all materials in one container without sorting it.
Koch said garbage will continue to be collected every week once the new system in in place.
He said the pickup of recycling material will be done once every two weeks.
The collected recyclables will go to the regional recycling center on Gypsum Hollow Road. From there they will be transported to Greenstar, a materials recovery facility in Des Moines that accepts recyclables that haven't been sorted. Koch said Greenstar will pay the city for the material, but added that he doesn't think the recycling operation will be profitable.
"I don't expect us to make money," he said. "I expect us to break even."
He added that he believes the city will save $30,000 a year in landfill fees as a result of increased participation in curbside recycling.
There are currently nine workers in the sanitation division. Because the new trucks can be operated by one person, the number of workers will gradually be reduced to five. Fierke said no one will be laid off. He said the downsizing will occur through retirements, resignations and the transfer of employees to other duties in the Public Works Department.
The city now has three garbage trucks. Koch said the newest one will be kept, but the two older ones will be sold after the new trucks arrive.
Koch added that once the new system is in place, the number of recycling drop boxes positioned around the city will be gradually reduced. He said a few of the 16 boxes now in place will be kept.

Mr. Speaker, today a special stamp honouring the 100th anniversary of the Sikh community in Canada will be unveiled by the Prime Minister.
The stamp is in honour of the achievements of Sikh Canadians who have made their community such a valuable part of Canada's rich social fabric. As successful professionals, business people and political leaders, their contribution to Canada is an example to all of us.
I am pleased that Canada Post has chosen to honour them in this way in the year that also marks the 300th anniversary of the founding of the Sikh faith. On April 13 Sikhs in Canada and around the world celebrated Vaisakhi which commemorates the most central event in the Sikh faith.
Today, April 19, Canadian Sikhs can celebrate again as they receive this much deserved honour from Canada Post.

Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, finally the Canadian Wheat Board has agreed to an audit of its books by the auditor general.
The Reform Party member for Portage—Lisgar has been calling for an open audit of the Canadian Wheat Board since 1993.
Farmers have a right to know how effectively the Canadian Wheat Board is marketing their grain. The audit will provide an independent and public opinion on the performance of the board.
In addition to examining the primary mandate of the Canadian Wheat Board, which is orderly marketing, the auditor general must also determine if the board is maximizing returns for wheat and barley farmers.
This audit must not be used simply to build a defence of state trading enterprises like the Canadian Wheat Board for the next round of World Trade Organization negotiations.
The Auditor General of Canada must be given the authority to audit the board on a regular basis. The Reform Party will continue to pressure for legislation that will allow this to happen.
Rashpal Dhillon

Reg Alcock Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce Mr. Rashpal Dhillon to the House.
Mr. Dhillon is a resident of Richmond, British Columbia. He was born in 1938 in the Punjab, India and came to Canada in the 1950s. He has a wife, Surinder, three children and three grandchildren.
Mr. Dhillon has a long and distinguished history in law enforcement, initially as the first Indo-Canadian peace officer in Canada. He was a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police stationed in the B.C. interior. He went on to become a prison guard at Oakalla Penitentiary and then a deputy sheriff in Vancouver.
Mr. Dhillon is now the owner of several agri-food companies and a golf centre on the lower mainland. He also serves the community on many boards of directors, including the Farm Credit Corporation and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind. It is for his work as a pioneer and a philanthropist that we honour him today.
On behalf of all members, on the day the Government of Canada officially commemorates the first 100 years of Sikhs in Canada and 300 years of the Khalsa, I would like to recognize Mr. Paul Dhillon as an outstanding member of the Indo-Canadian community.

Mr. Speaker, this week marks National Textiles Week in Canada, which is organized by the Textiles Human Resources Council, to focus and acknowledge the innovation and excellence within the Canadian textile industry.
In my riding of Ahuntsic, there are two dozen textile manufacturing firms, including Silver Textiles, Doubletex and Montreal Fast Print, to name but a few.
Since 1988, exports have tripled, capital investments have reached unprecedented levels and, in the past five years, the number of jobs has increased steadily, from 53,000 in 1993 to 56,000 in 1997.
The programs established by Human Resources Development Canada such as the Canada jobs fund and programs aimed at youth as well as Industry Canada's initiatives focusing on science and technology and the federal guidelines defining professional standards are but another example of the way the government helps the Canadian industrial sector to compete on an international scale.
I would like to congratulate the Canadian textile manufacturers, especially those in my riding, for their important contribution—

Mr. Speaker, on the occasion of national volunteer week, I want to pay tribute to all those who generously give some of their time for the well-being of our society.
While we acknowledge their contribution during this week, our volunteers do not make a contribution for a day or a week, but throughout the year. In an august 1998 study, Statistics Canada indicated that 16.7 million Canadians, or seven people out of ten, are engaged in volunteer work.
These volunteers are involved in every possible area, including health, education, co-ops, the poor, culture, sports, unions and even politics.
This year's theme in Quebec, "Building tomorrow together", accurately reflects what volunteer work means, and it is also fitting, as we are about to enter a new millennium.
On behalf of the Bloc Quebecois, I thank all the Quebec and Canadian volunteers for their invaluable contribution.

Mr. Speaker, like most Canadians, it is with mixed feeling that I pay tribute to Wayne Gretzky today.
Now that he has retired from our national game, it is time to celebrate an amazing talent, an incredible ambassador of hockey and a great Canadian.
Wayne Gretzky rewrote the hockey record book and literally changed the way the game is played. His Canada Cup achievements produced some thrilling moments. His 894 regular season goals and his 1,963 assists will never be touched.
A statue of Wayne Gretzky with the Stanley Cup hoisted proudly above his head adorns the city of Edmonton, which I proudly represent. It serves as a monument of Wayne's contribution to our city, our history and our eternal bragging rights of hockey supremacy in Alberta.
Wayne is retiring the same way he played: with class, humility and appreciation. Today, Canadians across the country are proud to see one of their own get world recognition.
Good luck Wayne, and thank you for the memories.

Rey D. Pagtakhan Winnipeg North—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, 83 years ago today the Alberta Liberal government granted women the right to vote, joining Saskatchewan and my own province of Manitoba, which earlier that same year had that right of suffrage extended to women.
Much of the credit for ensuring that Canada led the world in women's suffrage must go to Nellie McClung, who headed the campaign. She, along with Emily Murphy, Louise McKinney, Irene Parlby and Henrietta Edwards, known as the Famous Five, won legal equality for all Canadian women in the Persons Case of 1929.
May we in this House join today's generation of Canadians in saluting these early activists for their life-long determination to end discrimination in whatever form it takes.
What these visionary activists secured for Canadian women, they secured for democracy; indeed an historic legacy.

Bev Desjarlais Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, in December last year, Manitoba lost a great person. Judy Cook died while awaiting a heart transplant. She had dedicated her life to social justice and to improving the lives of others.
In December a steelworker from Leaf Rapids was given a new lease on life when a friend from Leaf Rapids donated one of her kidneys.
It is well established that the organ donation situation in Canada is serious with our organ donor rate among the lowest in the western world. Currently, there are more than 3,000 Canadians waiting for solid organ transplants, yet less than half of these will get an organ they need before the year's end. Lives are being lost and the costs related to waiting are increasing, and federal regulations are at the heart of the problem.
The need to increase the organ donation rate in Canada is an urgent priority. It will not happen by focusing only on public education and improved hospital systems. It requires innovative and proactive approaches starting with a national registry of organ donors to increase the pool of potential donors and a clear simple mechanism for expressing wishes.
It is important to give Canadians the opportunity to say, "Yes, I want to donate".

Mr. Speaker, at its latest convention, the Bloc Quebecois tried to redefine what a true Quebecker is.
What a discovery it made this past weekend: a Quebecker is a person who lives in Quebec; an Ontarian is someone who lives in Ontario; an Italian is someone who lives in Italy; a Spaniard is someone who lives in Spain.
So, once again the Bloc Quebecois continues with its notion of exclusion.
Fine—vive le Canada.

I wish to draw attention to the open-mindedness and vision of our leader, and to congratulate him for launching this exercise of direction-seeking and debate on the future of Quebec. I also congratulate the members of our four focus groups for the extremely high quality of their work.
The members of the Bloc Quebecois will be involved in this vast undertaking of reflection in the months to come. I also invite all Quebeckers, and all Canadians as well who may wish to look into the matter of partnership, to peruse the documents we released this past weekend, for I am sure they will find in them valuable potential solutions for the political problems being faced by Quebec and Canada.
One thing is becoming increasingly clear in Quebec: the sovereignists are discussing fundamental issues that affect our future: partnership, globalization, citizenship, democratic practices—

Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Wayne Gretzky retired from the National Hockey League marking the end of an amazing era. While redefining the game using his skills to reach new heights, he brought teammates, fans and a nation closer together.
True to his roots, he represented his country in international play and made Canadians proud each time he donned the Maple Leaf. The Great One improved Canada's hockey image and shaped the game's style.
As an ambassador for hockey and for Canada, his class leadership defined a remarkable career.
There is an element of humility to Wayne Gretzky's stardom which sets him apart. His love for the game and commitment to excellence made him a true role model, a responsibility he never shunned. To the end, Gretzky downplayed his endless personal accomplishments and records.
Our hockey cards, the No. 99 and tucked in sweaters provide wonderful warm memories. Our parents had heroes like Joe DiMaggio. We had Wayne Gretzky.
In his last NHL game, the scoresheet will show one final assist, fitting, for he always emphasized team first.
In a complicated world he allowed us to escape for many precious moments.
The hall of fame and new challenges await you. We wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness. Thank you, Wayne Gretzky, for all you have given our country and our game.

Marcie Reynolds-Bain: Pueblo champion touched countless lives
Marcie Reynolds-Bain was a champion for everyone from the homeless and the less fortunate to school children and athletes at Colorado State University-Pueblo.
Whether in her role as director of Cooperative Care Center of Pueblo or as the assistant athletic director at CSU-Pueblo, Reynolds-Bain was a passionate, enthusiastic and vocal supporter for whatever cause came her way.
"I know Marcie spent most of her professional career helping others," said Todd Kelly, president of the CSU-Pueblo Foundation. "Her enthusiasm is going to be missed."
Reynolds-Bain died Thursday.
Reynolds-Bain spent nearly two decades at CSU-Pueblo, where she was an ardent supporter of all athletic programs.
"My memory of Marcie is of the fondness she held for the student-athletes," said Kelly. "She worked hard to make sure the student-athletes had the best experience."
As the director of the Cooperative Care Center, Reynolds-Bain continued her service to the community by helping to provide food, clothing and hygiene products to those in need.
She spearheaded a campaign to relocate the center to its current spot in the expansive Sandy Rawlings building at Eighth Street and Grand Avenue.
"Marcie was a person of vision, filled with energy and compassion for taking care of those in need in Pueblo County," said Jacob Shafer, president of the Cooperative Care board. "She is responsible for where we are now and for maintaining our visibility in the community."
As part of the fundraising campaign, Reynolds-Bain was instrumental in getting Denver Broncos Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway as the keynote speaker of the center's 2009 gala.
In 2009, Reynolds-Bain was honored at the YWCA's Tribute to Women. That same year she also received the Colorado Hunger Award.
Reynolds-Bain is survived by her husband, Don, two children and three grandchildren.

Lower-Cost NYPA Power to Help
Support Pfizer Expansion in New York City
Michael Saltzman
Printer-friendly version
June 25, 2003
NEW YORK—An allocation of lower-cost electricity approved Tuesday by
the New York Power Authority (NYPA) Trustees will help support a major
expansion in New York City by pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, which is
planning to relocate 1,000 jobs to the city by the end of 2004 and
create another 3,300 new jobs over the next 15 years.
"The allocation of the discount-priced electricity is part of an
economic development expansion agreement with New York State and New
York City governments for Pfizer to invest $1 billion in the city over
the next two decades and protect and create thousands of jobs," said
Louis P. Ciminelli, NYPA chairman. "The agreement, reached only last
month, is one measure of the aggressive approach that Governor Pataki,
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other state and local leaders have taken to
support the growth of businesses at every opportunity."
The allocation, for 4,400 kilowatts (kw), is being made through the
New York City Public Utility Service (NYCPUS) from a block of 94,470 kw
reserved for municipal utility service agencies downstate for resale to
eligible businesses.
The allotted power is earmarked for Pfizer facilities in Brooklyn and
will help support the company's overall expansion in the city, where it
currently employs approximately 5,500 workers. Brooklyn is where the
company was founded more than 150 years ago.
Pfizer, which is the world's largest pharmaceutical company, is
planning to purchase and renovate a 31-story building at 685 Third
Avenue in midtown Manhattan, where it leases space. It's one of several
buildings there that make up the company's New York City headquarters.
Pfizer is eligible to apply for up to $1.4 million in grants from
Empire State Development, the state's economic development agency. The
New York City Economic Development Corp. has also offered the company up
to $46 million in incentives, in return for creating a total of more
than 4,300 new jobs by the end of the 15-year term of the economic
development expansion agreement.
The agreement helped persuade Pfizer to choose New York City over
various facilities that it operates out of state for consolidating and
expanding its work force.
In April, Pfizer completed a multibillion dollar acquisition of
Pharmacia Corp., whose facilities include sites in New Jersey and
Michigan. The deal expanded Pfizer's already broad pipeline of
pharmaceutical products and made it possible for the company to achieve
savings through consolidation, even as it continues to grow. It followed
a merger nearly three years earlier between Pfizer and the
Warner-Lambert Co.
More than 400,000 jobs throughout New York State are linked to lower
cost electricity supplied by the New York Power Authority, which is the
largest nonfederal public power organization in the country.

Skip to comments.Doctor 'with her whole future ahead of her' found slain in Philadelphia home
Posted on 01/23/2013 3:13:29 AM PST by rightwingintelligentsia
Philadelphia (CNN) -- Andrew Cattaneo is still in shock.
It's been only a day since his neighbor across the street, Melissa Ketunuti, was found dead in the basement of her row home Monday afternoon, her hands and feet bound, her body set on fire.
Standing in the doorway of his home, Cattaneo watched as police detectives returned to the scene Tuesday while news reporters huddled nearby trying to stay warm on the blustery January afternoon.
"She was very pleasant, very nice, very friendly and quiet," Cattaneo said, looking across the street. "It's very upsetting."
Although authorities were awaiting the final autopsy report, Philadelphia Police Capt. James Clark, homicide commanding officer, said at a news conference Tuesday morning that Ketunuti, a 35-year-old physician, apparently was strangled. There were no immediately obvious signs of sexual assault, Clark said.

To bad she didn't have a handgun for protection.
I'd be going back to college years and guys that she turned down for a date. Someone held a big grudge.
Why would anyone with a future waste it in Philadelphia?
Why would anyone with a future waste it in Afghanistan? Iraq? Viet Nam? Korea? France? Germany? Some gawdaful malarial Pacific Island?
Yes, I know ... I'm calling Philthydelphia a war zone, and some folks might be upset that I'm insulting war zones ...
Drug Deal gone awry
Liberals want all of us to be disarmed, too.
It seems the lady IS a real doctor, and she doesn't appear to live in a "bad" neighborhood.
The death scene is obviously torture and evidence coverup.
The doctor looks Asian and her name is unusual to me.
The "City of Brotherly Love" is a crime-infested sh*t hole on the model of our recently admired and much-praised Kenya.
Wonder what happened in such a climate....
I really never knew anyone who's future was behind them. Just sayin'.
There is true evil in the world.
For this we have a right to self defense, and 6 rounds often isn't enough.
The "Center City" section is very middle/upper-middle class. The term "row house" does not mean "dilapidated slum house". In this context it just means a house that shares common walls with the neighboring house. She was a resident/research fellow, and was likely making good money, but would not be making huge money until after she passed her boards.
Looking at her dad in the picture, I'm guessing Hawaiian or some other flavor of Pacific Islander.
And it came up as strongly western Austria, specifically the region around Landeck, Austria.
My #9
Many of us don't make big money even after passing boards and practicing for 25 years or so
Hmmmm .. that Kontiki really did some travelin' ...
Thank goodness she's not black and living - or used to be - in Chicago or else the media wouldn't care.
Depends how old you are. The ancient Greeks believed that your past - the known - was in front of you. Your future - the unknown and unseen - was behind you.
The name is Hawaiian.
I dunno about that "world name profiler." This is the second time it ran me down to a total wrong Zip Code :o)
Yes. As a parent, these stories about murder of young women and men just bring tears to my eyes. My BIL's brother was murdered many years ago. Pray for her family to have strength to get through this.

True. There are some areas of the city that were once run down, but hae now "trendy" in recent years (Northern Liberties, the Art Museum area.) Row Homes in those areas which sold for about $ 75,000 ten or fifteen years ago are now selling for $ 300,000 - $ 500,000.
time to take that link off your desktop.
And as a parent you are not supposed bury your kids. Your kids are supposed to bury you.
Better ban rope.
Notice the inane nature of our "political leaders". The public doesn't need guns to defend themselves. It's all rainbows and unicorns out there.
Somebody once told me that true happiness is the Grandfather passes, then the Father, then the Child. So true.
America is being, and has been, programmed to think with subliminal devices.
In your case, a program that gives false information .. (class project: input, barack hussein obama .. Irish ?)
and my favorite;
After swiping (hmm, that means stolen in MY neighborhood) your card at the store, the reader asks, "Is $85.32 OK ?", to which you automatically ... get it? ... AUTOMATICALLY .. punch "yes", and your card is debitted.
I always turn it on the clerk (whom is not really paying attention and only the older cashiers look at me and smile knowingly .. )..
"How would I know ?"
'Cause the machine says so
Isn't that how we got the president?
(My wife hates going shopping with me ... I start trouble everywhere I go)
I don't think doctors are compensated nearly enough for what they do, how many years they have to go to school, and the responsibilities they have. If government would just butt out and let the market work, then doctors and patients would be better off.
No, I am not buttering you up just because you are a doctor... unless you live close to me. ;-)
Some of those row houses price at the upper six figures - Society Hill.
Just 'cause she was a doctor doesn't mean she was very wealthy. Hundreds of thousands in student debt, maybe still in residency. The big bucks don't kick in right away and under Obamacare, maybe won't ever.
You ain't kidding. I remember serving arrest warrants in Northern Liberties - Society Hill's poor cousin.
You had to get control of the rooftops first or you're in trouble.
Peffy Plebbo.
Yeah. It'd probably tell me Cyterski is Irish :o)
I know what you mean. Both of our sons were home-schooled: the older one entered the public school system in 10th grade, the younger one in 7th grade.
They can make change as easily as breathing.
Their friends see this as some sort of inexplicable genius. Just because their brains work within what I would call a normal range.
It reads as if she spent her time and energy studying medicine rather than socializing. Her resume is pretty strong.
Probability of being called "islamophobe" too.
About 4 months ago, I was talking with a friend who has "progressed" from being a Republican, when I first met her 20 years ago, to a "progressive." She did it for 2 of her kids, who are lefties.
She'd said something, and I replied, "We ought to be doing something more to defend schools from the jihad."
She turned in her seat, looking at me with surprise in her face:
"Are you an islamophobe?!!!"
I spent the next 20 minutes having to recite all of what was happening in the news, un-reported by the now-"palace media."
I managed to suggest to her, a scenario (Bresland, Russia - Sept. 2004 I think it was), and how I would respond ("I'd shoot the bad guys.")
She of course, finally *thinking* about what would happen here, had to acknowledge that the kids needed to be protected by my taking the fight to the jihadi's.
She wonders, though, after a few invites (T'giving and Christmas), why I don't drop by anymore?
We would all be better off if the government would butt out. What most people don't realize is thanks to Medicare and Medicaid we only collect about 30% of what we bill. Try going into Home Depot and ordering a house full of carpet and telling them you will pay 30% of what they bill. Won't go over so well....
I cannot find among the women I know, even one who realizes her vulnerability that exists, by her mere ignorance of how she is MISSING DETERMINATION in her bearing.
That determination to be alert and defend herself, pronounced because she HAS THE RIGHT and maintains herself in a manner that is ready to change gears and put up a fight.
A determination that comes naturally to those raised and trained to defend themselves and others.
The ladies are aware of it in some men - that is, some of the ladies can see this ... determination ... that is as naturaly as the sky is blue.
It is also what bad people see and steer away from, because their animalism alerts them to the presence of pain and punishment, if they assault a person of such bearing.
This bearing is partly due to disclipine and training, which are efforts in which a lot of people don't wish to be bothered -— I hear this: "I just don't want to have to think about it!"
I reply: "I trained long ago as a youngster; and personal defense, your bearing, become natural - you don't even think about it much, until your own alert system spots 'one of the animals eyeing people, looking for vulnerabilities.'"
On some occasions, I've walked up to a girl/gal/lady and asked them if they are aware of "those three fellows over there who have not left this area of the store ... I'm aware that they are VERY AWARE OF YOU."
To my relief, when these situations occur, I have found that the gals are thankful to find a person who has come to their relief.
On one occasion, I was at a food store, and I certainly spotted the gal, the moment I walked into the store - of course I wanted to ask her out, right then and there. As usual for me, I tossed around inside, trying to get up the courage to go over and start up a conversation.
Yet I had to pick up some food, and so I briefly lost sight of her.
I grabbed some food and looked back, and it was then, that I the three men - two of whom were VERY OBVIOUSLY watching her from a distance, and a third man was working his way around her, also from a distance ... the three men communicating by motion and eye contact.
It was amazing in the sense of, it was like watching wolves circling their prey in some "nature show on TV."
Well, I'm so accustomed to be "scared" to walk up to a gal, that I just made a note to self, that if I saw her again, with the three men "hunting" her, I'd maybe step in and start up a conversation.
I went about my business, picked up groceries, checked out and was half-way to my car, when I decided, "no dice ... I'm going back in there, no matter what." I parked my groceries in the car and walked back to the store.
Upon entering, I found that the gal being hunted was still in the same produce area of the store, and the three animals were still circling from a distance. Wish I could have filmed it all happening.
I ignored the glances from the men who OBVIOUSLY disliked my looking at her, as I walked straight to her.
I introduced myself quietly, explaining that I was a frequent customer (familiar face) to the store, and I was a bit concerned for her safety ... "Young lady, would you like to start walking toward the checkout lanes and the courtesy desk, and I will walk nearby you, sort of escorting you but maintaining a distance from you, while also maintaining myself and those three men, who it does seem to me, intend to grab you."
She was gorgeous, did I mention that?
She looked into my eyes and smiled, and said:
"I have been aware of two of them for some time, and I've not left this more-open area of the store for the last 25 minutes or so BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THEM."
I replied that I was thankful that she was on alert, and that there were actually three of these men who were OBVIOUSLY too interested in her. She looked around and spotted "the outlyer." Oh. Yeah, oh.
At which point, the three wanna-be-perps that evening, realizing that the game was up, then joined together and walked out of the store.
I had done my duty.
She was very thankful. I suggested that she still go to the courtesy counter, to relate her story, and I would be glad to go along to verify the events.
She said no, that would not be necessary.
OK, and we shook hands, wished each other well, and I left the store.
I staying in my car, watching the store, until she left, getting into her car and drove away.
I'd done my duty. I've done this a number of times, just watching over some gal who has been targeted by some creep(s).
I'm relating the story only because, I do wish that the ladies would wake up? Please?
And not be so willing to deny the right we have to defend ourselves.
Only in these instances, do I come across women who *get* that we must defend ourselves.
Otherwise, I encounter way too many times, women who haven't many clues, and mostly, they are suffering from A LOT OF WISHFUL THINKING THAT BAD THINGS ARE ONLY GOING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
I do not think, that the ladies realize, that their vulnerability will skyrocket, in the event we are forced to disarm, satisfying their expressed wishes among those in their social circles, in which the appearance of their liberal-ness/progress-ive-ism is paramount for their vanities ... while in real life, they must be prepared to act in their defense and not be irrational by insisting that only some police officers arriving 18 minutes too late, can assist them.
I wish to inform the ladies, that 18 minutes in real life, is too late.
Yet, as they are mostly liberal ladies, they do not want to hear this.
BTW, the liberal ladies with guns, are completely un-tuned from any issues about the 2nd Amendment -— they live in their own imaginations where the laws do not apply to them, because they are women and they roar: CERTAINLY OBAMA will not deny them their rights?!
I now days wonder, if it is possible for me to come to the aid of any stranger.
ABC News consultant and former FBI agent Brad Garrett said the culprit is likely someone Ketunuti knew.
Good story. I imagine those guys just moved on to other prey. Somewhere there is a sad story as postscript to yours, most likely.
Another Bloomberg follower.
As it turns out, many theories were wrong.
The murderer was a local Philadelphia white guy named Jason Smith who was an exterminator she hired, and she apparently had a dispute with him over the work.
She did not know this guy and his motive was apparently not robbery.
His story is that she insulted him during their argument, he lost his cool and hit her, she fell and hit her head and then he got scared and tried to hide the evidence by trussing her and burning the place.
Which is probably exactly what his attorney told him to say.
One thing I hate is how they keep calling this a "tragedy". I regret the day that word jumped over from Literary Criticism and made it into Journalism.
This is not a "tragedy". This is a crime. A damnable act. A cold-blooded murder.
" Which is probably exactly what his attorney told him to say."
An educated Asian making an insulting remark to a laborer?
That doesn't fit the profile.

Since some days I'm suffering from a slight but annoying throat ache; and since I drink plenty of cups of tea per day (5-6) I think that it could be nice to put some herbs into it to help to calm down the throat soreness.
Would you have any recommendation? Either some herbs to mix to do a herbal tea, or just some to add to ordinary green (or black) tea.
Thanks everybody!

Editor for this issue: Anthony Rodrigues Aristar <aristarunix.tamu.edu>
As many of you know, last month LINGUIST ran its first on-line conference, _Geometric and Thematic Structure in Binding_. For those who did not get an opportunity to participate, the papers and commentary are available at LINGUIST Websites: Sites in the USA: http://linguistlist.org/linconf/ http://www.emich.edu/~linguist/linconf/ http://engserve.tamu.edu/files/linguistics/linguist/linconf/ In Germany: http://www.sfs.nphil.uni-tuebingen.de/linguist/linconf As our report (LINGUIST 7-1704) indicates, we feel that this was a considerable success, and that this kind of conference format offered some advantages over the physical conference format. We had 10 excellent papers, a very large subscription--well in excess of 500 linguists--and much interesting, focused discussion on the issues. Many more people thus had an opportunity to read the conference proceedings than would normally be the case, and in a context which allowed them to consider their responses carefully. The papers and discussion, what is more, will remain available on the Web at our sites; this format thus offers much more opportunity for scholars to make their work available to the linguistic community, and to a much larger group than would normally be the case. We've therefore decided that we're going to make on-line conferences a continuing feature of the LINGUIST List. We're asking here for your input, and for your help. If we are going to continue to support conferences of this kind, we need, minimally, two things: 1. Suggestions for future conference topics 2. Volunteers to serve as their organizers. We're asking that linguists who are willing to serve as organizers send us conference proposals. These proposals can cover any area of linguistics, but they should be on a clearly defined topic so that discussion, in the electronic medium, remains sharply focused. Since on-line conferences make their proceedings immediately available, we suggest that good topics focus on an issue which is of current theoretical importance. All proposals should explain the importance of the topic being proposed. Organizers' responsibilities will be as follows. They will: 1. Define the topic of the conference 2. Put together a review board to read abstracts 3. Put together the final conference program 4. See that conference papers are sent to LINGUIST in an appropriate format. 5. Serve as moderator and prime discussant during the conference. 6. Write a conference report for posting to LINGUIST upon the completion of the conference. LINGUIST will be responsible for the technical side of the conference: it will set up the necessary Web pages, put in place the e-mail list needed, and ensure that the Web site functions appropriately during the conference. We might note that you--not we--will decide what conferences we hold in the future. How many conferences we hold will be decided by the number of volunteers we get to organize them. The only limit we will place on such on-line conferences is a practical one: to ensure that the quality of papers remains high, we will hold only one conference a year in each subdiscipline. In areas where there are competing theoretical positions--e.g. syntax--we will treat each theory as a separate subdiscipline.

State won't reimburse Pueblo for recall election expenses
Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler said Tuesday that his office doesn't have legal authority to reimburse or fund Pueblo County's recall election in September.
Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Gilbert "Bo" Ortiz sent a letter Monday to the governor's and secretary of state's offices, and to state Sen. Pat Steadman, D-Denver, chairman of the Joint Budget Committee, asking for advance payment for the election.
State Sen. Angela Giron, D-Pueblo, is being recalled by gun-rights supporters who say she overreached in supporting gun legislation. If voters decide to recall her, George Rivera, a former Pueblo police deputy chief and Republican, will take her place in the Legislature.
In his response, Gessler said: "This office does not have the legal authority to reimburse your office for the recall election in Senate District 3. Your office should, however, be able to reduce your costs by 25-40 percent based on El Paso County's experience."
El Paso County also has a recall election scheduled, and its expenses are estimated at $150,000.
Pueblo county, worried about its finances, estimates the recall to cost $180,000 and asked for an advance of $200,000, to cover unplanned expenses.
Ortiz said he wrote letters to the three offices because state statute is vague on who actually pays for special elections.
Statute says reimbursement comes from a "political subdivision," the meaning of which differs between Gessler, a Republican, and Ortiz, a Democrat.
"I do believe we should be reimbursed by the state somehow for this election," Ortiz said. "We don't know whose office will reimburse us. The political subdivision is Senate District 3 of the state, so I would believe the state would have to pay. Which part of the state, what part of the state? We don't know the answer so we're sending the letter to everyone."
Steadman said that funds likely won't come from the JBC either because the Legislature is not in session and for statute reasons similar to Gessler's.
"Even if it was legally possible to help Pueblo County, (a funding request) can't start from the county," Steadman said. "But if you have a group of voters in their county that want to throw a temper tantrum and have an election, it will cost."
Eric Brown, a spokesman for Gov. John Hickenlooper, said they received the letter and, "We will review the letter and respond appropriately."
Gessler's letter defines political subdivision as "a governing subdivision of the state, including counties, municipalities, school districts and special districts."
"There's no authority under the law to reimburse for those kind of elections," said Rich Coolidge, a Gessler spokesman. "We've had recalls with district attorneys that have followed similar situations. Some of those were multicounty and we didn't reimburse them either."
Ortiz argues that this recall is unprecedented and eligible for reimbursement.
Ortiz took exception with some of Gessler's remarks in his letter, mentioning the Colorado County Clerks Association's support of HB13-1303, the Colorado Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act, and its position on other state election law.
"I really don't know how to react to this letter. I think what I got back was a political stab at me, which is really interesting, and some cynical statements about the House bill and the county clerks association, which I don't think were warranted in what I was requesting," Ortiz said.

Thankful part IIPosted Friday, November 16, 2012, at 5:11 PM
I'm thankful for the time I was able to spend with my sister, Arlene. In our growing up years, she and I were vastly different. Physically and more. She was ladylike and proper, I was …well, I was not. She was a flaming red head, I was freckle face tow head. She was helpful to my mother, I was..well, I wasn't really. In our teen years, she and I got closer, and by the time we were both out of school, we were fast friends. She had an apartment in Boise, and I loved going and spending a weekend with her, hanging out in the "Big Town of Boise" She helped me pick out my wedding dress…. plan my wedding …. she was one of my Bridesmaids. (My oldest sister was my Maid of Honor) And she was there when I lost my first daughter at birth. Neither of us knew how to handle it,….but we were together, along with my other sister. She was in the hospital when I delivered each of my other children and was always one of the first to hold them. She had the most beautiful babies of her own, and loved them fiercely til she took her last breath. I know she loves them still, and is watching over them, as she watches over my daughter in Heaven. I'm so Thankful for the times we had together, and that I have those cherished memories always.
I'm thankful for my oldest sister, Ardie, who selflessly does whatever needs to be done, and in so doing, took my sister Arlene into her home and cared and nurtured her through that very hard time. No one could have done it better, and we are all as thankful as possible to have this Angel in our family. She floats around making her perfection look easy. All families should have an Angel to take care of them, and I'm sure thankful I have one in my family.
I'm thankful for my brother, who though now, lives far away, let me hang out with him and his oh so cool friends when we were children. I suppose some brothers might have put a stop to it, but he didn't seem to mind, or maybe I just didn't let it phase me? Looking back, I realize that we all are lucky to be alive, and I do mean that literally. I remember rolling rocks down cliffs, just for the joy of seeing it roll and hearing the thunder. Of course, we probably just climbed up that face of rock, …. and had to climb down again. Yep, there was at least one broken leg, not mine…his. But we got him home..me and the Christiansen boys. He wore that cast, not us. I don't even remember the 'story' we must have told to explain it, but I'm sure it veered form the actual events of that day, to save the innocent. (not sure there were any) He managed to get me in trouble a few times, but he also protected me more than a few times. I miss him terribly …. and now that I'm missing a daughter, I realize how my own parents have lived with missing their own children.
I'm thankful for the Aunt and Uncle that took me in to their home over the years and taught me the love of horses and ranch life. I've never strayed far from it, ever. They helped teach me that everyone has to work hard, and then also play hard. No one is 'too good' for a job, right down to the littlest, dirtiest job, and you better never think you are too good. Those times I spent on their ranch are also some of my very most cherished memories, and they gave me a strong base in life itself. I learned a lot about life, and life and death and that both go together. Sometimes hard decisions have to be made, and it's just a fact of life. I'm thankful that when they decided to give me my very own first horse, my parents realized the magnitude of what this would mean to me. I can not for the life of me, imagine my life without horses to this date. It's inconceivable. Thank you Mom and Dad for that.
I'm so thankful for that first horse and the lessons she taught me. She was from the Juniper Mountains in Owyhee County. So, her name was Brandy Juniper. I don't actually remember where the "Brandy" came from….probably just cuz. I was so excited for our life to start together! She was a yearling, and she was not quite as excited for our life to begin together. So, one of my first lessons from her, was patience. patience…..and more patience….. I learned it, and it has been one of the greatest lessons in life. I also learned from her that all creatures want companionship, and to be loved. She and I formed a bond that I don't think I've ever really had with another horse. As a young girl, she was my EVERYTHING. She was always there, and ready to just stand listen to whatever I had to say and think about. My Dad and I built a barn, and yep, we built a bed in there for me. I slept often with that horse…. with her standing breathing her soft warm breath on my cheek into the night. Approximately 15 years later, I worked for my Aunt one summer, cowboying, and for that, she gave me 2 more horses. One was a 1/2 sister to Brandy, and one was not. I didn't keep the one that 'was not' for many years…. just never bonded with her. But the other, Mariah, yes, I had a great bond with her also…. possibly as strong as the first, but I don't know that that first Love of a Girl for her first horse can ever be matched. I've been lucky to have many great relationships with great horses…

Another tear jerker. Thank you for the compliments. I didn't realise that I was "perfect" and an "angel" wowie!
I'm thankful for having a little sister like you. So strong and tough on the outside, but a real softy on the inside. You were a great support for me during the "tough time", probably more so to me than I was to you.
Love you much, Ardie

I am interested in this Community, County, and the beautiful state of Idaho. Most of my photos will be in Idaho, but from time to time, they will be my vacations aay from Idaho. You'll see lots of my Children and Grand children, along with others in my family. Of course there will be horses and horse related things, and things I photo'd horseback.

1,000 Books Before Kindergarten
Do you know that one of the very best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books? Reading to and with your child helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide solid foundations that are key to school success. For that reason, the Bristol Public Library is beginning a new free program called 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten.
Please visit us in the children's department to register your infant, toddler, or preschooler (up to 5 years and not-yet-enrolled in kindergarten) and receive a book bag and logs to help you keep track of your reading. Once you're signed up, check in with us to receive special rewards for every one hundred books read. Upon completion of reading 1,000 books, your child will receive a special book, a reading diploma, a picture on the "Reader's Hall of Fame", a special letter to the principal of his/her new school, and more. This is a great way for your child to begin his/her academic career as a star reader!
This program is possible thanks to the Friends of the Bristol Public Library, who have lovingly sponsored us in our new endeavor.

7-3 +9 Units YTD
TCU -7 over Baylor- 2 Units
TCU returns a ton of players from last year's 11-1 squad. They have hopes to make some noise in the BCS ala Utah a few years back. 34-13 Horned Frogs.
Louisville -22 over Kentucky-3 Units
If this weren't a rivalry game, it would be a 5 unit play. Kentucky 2-9 as road dog of 21.5 or more since 92. The 'Ville 8-1 as fav of 21.5 or more, 12-4 since 92, and 10-1 ATS @ home last 3 years. PLus, my website says the line should be -32. That gets a big green star. I never argue with the big green star. 59-21 The 'Ville

Do I need to be Mennonite to attend EMU?
While EMU has a strong Mennonite student presence on campus, more than half of our student body comes from a variety of other faith traditions. Some come from other Christian denominations, some from other faith traditions, and others with no specific religious affiliation. More than 30 religious groups are represented on campus from all over the world.
Mennonites at EMU and peace-oriented Catholic and Protestant groups have much in common. Mennonites are distinctive among followers of Christ in being among the group of "historic peace churches," along with the Church of the Brethren and Quakers.1
Regardless of faith or heritage, students do normal college things here. This includes intercollegiate and intramural sports, study abroad, student clubs and activities, enjoying the local area and more. Our academic programs, in education, business, digital media and STEM majors like computer science, pre-med, and pre-engineering, boast thriving communities of engaged students.
Do people dress differently?
While you may occasionally see a "plain" dressing Mennonite on campus, you won't be able to tell most Mennonite students by their clothing choices. Since EMU attracts a diverse student body, especially with our Intensive English Program and our world-renowned Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, you may also see people with distinctive clothing from other cultures and parts of the world, including Muslim women in veils.
A bit more on Mennonite plain dress… People in conservative branches of the Mennonite traditions often wear distinctive clothing – for women, head coverings and dresses and, for men, white shirts and dark, loose slacks with special suit coats, especially on Sundays. Some use horse and buggies in order to remain "separate from the world."
EMU, however, is an institution of Mennonite Church USA, whose members generally cannot be identified by their appearance. These church members live in modern homes, drive vehicles, and pursue higher education and careers as do other Americans. Many Mennonites do, however, embrace "simple living" in order to respect God's earth and consume fewer resources. This "more-with-less" lifestyle can include common sense reusing and recycling in addition to growing vegetables to preserve for use year-round, alternative transportation (bicycles!), and thrift shopping.
The general public often considers "Amish" and "Mennonite" in the same category. While the two share a commitment to community living, service to others, non-violent peacemaking and some historical roots, there are also significant differences.
Peace and restorative justice are regular topics of conversation here, in the classroom and out. Peacebuilding and development majors explore the complexities of working for social change, and student groups like Peace Fellowship organize campus activities and regularly invite special speakers to spark meaningful dialogue.
Things you will likely find
While the use of technology is limited in plain Mennonite communities, it's not here. We've all got our iPads and smartphones, and our computer science and digital media programs enjoy a new advanced media lab with top-quality equipment. Among Christian colleges, EMU is one of the few to offer a major in photography.
- Campus worship with music. Mennonites are renowned for their mastery of four-part a cappella singing, but campus also bustles with instrumental music (both classical and contemporary), global music sparked by international travel and students, and contemporary worship events.
- Class discussions on policies and issues pertaining to peace and conflict, service work, sustainability, Godly relationships, care for each other, pledging allegiance to a nation (or not), and ethics in the workplace. EMU is committed to preparing students for life, not just for a job. Exploring your faith and listening respectfully to the viewpoints of others are part of the campus ethos.
- Students working in the field, getting real-life experience. On-the-job experience and internships are required for many majors. Internships in all subject areas are available year-round through EMU's Washington Community Scholars' Center in urban D.C.
- Students having fun! Athletic events (NCAA or intramurals) occur throughout the year. The campus activities council shows movies each weekend, organizes midnight bowling, skiing at nearby Massanutten Resort, hiking/camping in the mountains, and more. You won't want to miss the barn dance in the fall and the semi-formal in the winter!

I'm new to the world of pu'erh, and I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me. I've been reading about pu'erh online for a few months now, and for Christmas I was given some loose-leaf shu (the one here: http://www.davidstea.com/our-teas/pu-erh-tea/organic-golden-pu-erh). This is the only pu'erh DavidsTea sells (besides those with other things added), and though I like it, I'm looking to buy something a bit more authentic.
I've been looking at a few of the teas on Yunnan Sourcing, but there's just so much selection, I don't know where to start. I'd like something that'll be ready for consumption as soon as I get it, so I think I'm looking for some shu pu'erh, assuming most decent sheng that's already aged will be too expensive for me. I'm willing to pay at most around $40 for 357g, but anything of a lower price would be great, as long as the tea's not junk. Raw pu'erh in that price range, ready for consumption, would also be welcome, but I don't know how available that is.
I'd prefer to buy something on the Yunnan Sourcing US site, because I live in Canada, but I'm open to any suggestions. I just want something that will be a good tea to start with, before I start buying more specific pu'erhs to fit my tastes.
Thank you very much for your time, I appreciate it
