CLEARANCE - True Lies in ChessProduct Code: B0025QT
Publisher: Quality Chess
Author: Lluis Febrego
Year of Publication: 2007
Pages: 165
Notation Type: Figurine (FAN)
Book DescriptionVery few chess books are able to make an original contribution about the strategic side of chess, but that is the aim of this remarkable book. The dogmas of chess, which have been established for over a century, are rarely questioned despite the clear evolution in the style of top-class chess. Chess grandmaster Lluis Comas Fabrego takes on the challenging task of separating the truth from the lies in traditional advice on how to play better chess.
By taking an irreverent look at the supposed absolute truths of chess, Comas Fabrego judges the validity of established rules and strategic concepts. Accompanied by many practical examples and good advice, readers learn how to reduce the complexity of chess towards the essential features of each position, and so improve their play.

Twice as many participants as in the previous competition to shape the future of aviation
More than 6,000 students of over 100 nationalities registered for Fly Your Ideas 2013, the global university contest organized by the leading aircraft manufacturer Airbus. Teams of students are challenged to develop and submit ideas for a more sustainable aviation industry in the future. Twice as many students as in the previous competition have registered this time.
The students are looking to secure an invaluable opportunity to work with aviation's top experts to develop their idea further and a chance to win the prize of €30,000
Airbus assessors are currently reviewing entries to select the most innovative ideas to go on to the next round. No more than 100 teams will be chosen to proceed.
This year the teams were asked to submit ideas to address one of the following challenges: "Energy"; "Efficiency"; "Affordable Growth"; "Traffic Growth"; "Passenger Experience"; or "Community Friendliness."
"There has been a remarkable increase in the number of entries and we have maintained a great mix of participants" explained Charles Champion, Airbus Executive Vice President of Engineering and Fly Your Ideas patron. "We are really excited by this as we believe that innovation is driven by diversity in backgrounds, nationalities, as well as gender." he added.
The teams must complete three progressively tougher rounds in order to progress to the final stage when they will present their project in front of a jury of experts with the award to be presented at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris in June 2013.
UNESCO has given patronage to the 2013 edition of the Fly Your Ideas competition.

Paul Simon is coming to New Zealand for two shows in April.
The legendary singer-songwriter is booked to play at Dunedin's Forsyth Barr Stadium on April 6 and Vector Arena in Auckland on April 8.
Enigmatic singer Rufus Wainwright will play support for both concerts.
Simon's performance promises to span all eras of his career: From beginnings in the folk
clubs of early 1960s Greenwich Village, to his famed period with Simon and Garfunkel and his celebrated solo career.
He has experienced a late career revival in recent years, with his 2011 album So Beautiful or So What receiving critical acclaim.
Dunedin Mayor Dave Cull said a concert by an artist of Simon's calibre would inject millions into his city's economy.
"Having a musician of this calibre performing in Dunedin is wonderful news for the city.
"His music takes me back to fond memories of the '60s and every decade since.
Paul Simon will be a huge draw card for thousands of fans, which will also bring millions of dollars into Dunedin."
Tickets go on sale from Ticketdirect for Dunedin and Ticketmaster for Auckland on February 8.

TURING'S CATHEDRAL: The Origins of the Digital Universe. George Dyson. xxii + 401 pp. Pantheon/Vintage Books, 2012. $29.95 cloth, $16.95 paper.
The history of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, involves a MANIAC. This early computer was aptly named—not only for the frenetic pace of activity it underwent 24 hours a day in its heyday, but also for the worldwide havoc in which it unwittingly played a role. Its calculations were key to both the development of nuclear bombs and the transformation of society into one based on digital media.
The MANIAC (for Mathematical and Numerical Integrator and Computer) became operational in 1951. It had five kilobytes of memory, less than what is allocated to displaying a single icon on a computer screen today. As technology historian George Dyson describes in Turing's Cathedral, the MANIAC, which was not the first computer but which was widely emulated, "broke the distinction between numbers that mean things and numbers that do things." He goes on: "Our universe would never be the same."
The story Dyson tells—of the transition from analog to digital in the 20th century—is an unavoidably technical one, but there are plenty of personal stories to keep it moving. John von Neumann, a brilliant mathematical theorist who was the motivating force behind this computer, had a penchant for fast cars and reckless driving. In contrast, his main engineer, Julian Bigelow, had a talent for keeping jalopies going. In fact, although the book is named for Alan Turing, it could be seen as largely a biography about von Neumann and the cult of personality that surrounded him. Turing's theoretical work is cited early on as the basis for all computers, but his personal story isn't mentioned until the last third of the book (and part of the discussion is taken up with a comparison of Turing's personality and von Neumann's).
The Institute for Advanced Study was not the most natural place for a computer revolution to take place. It had been founded for purely theoretical work, and many of the faculty there shunned any tools beyond blackboard and chalk. When von Neumann began importing engineers in droves for his computer project, conflicts over legitimacy ensued, and postwar shortages meant that the resulting arguments extended to building materials and even sugar. Under these conditions, Bigelow and the other engineers' ability to jerry-rig and improvise became essential.
Woven into the story are bitter exchanges about who should have received credit for what inventions. Von Neumann emphasized open content and discouraged the patenting of results in order to most quickly advance the technology. But he had his own lucrative consulting contracts, and an underlying theme of the book is that he did not go to great effort to correctly acknowledge the work of others.
The legacy of the MANIAC and other computers is the breakthrough in both logic architecture and software that they began. But in the background there is also the history of nuclear weapons, the modeling of which was a driving force for building the computers. Indeed, without the pressure during that era to produce nuclear weapons, it's likely that many of these machines would not have been built. Von Neumann was excited about the possibilities of computers for use in everything from meteorology to the life cycles of stars, but he had no compunctions about developing bombs. His view was likely colored by his hatred of the Nazi regime and his desire to prevent the Soviets from developing a similar legacy.
I found it refreshing that Dyson is quick to point out the part women played in the development of computers, both in supportive and key roles. Many of the first coders, who translated queries into language a machine could understand, were women—including von Neumann's wife, Klári. Dyson emphasizes that "the view that early coders, such as Klári, were 'doing the arithmetic' without any understanding of the physics is wrong."
Von Neumann died young, at age 53, of cancer. Without its messiah, the computer project at the Institute of Advanced Study lost support and was terminated. Bigelow had been given a permanent appointment shortly before these events. For reasons left unclear in the book, he decided to turn down several offers from other places in order to stay where he wasn't really wanted any more. It seems likely that he could have done much more to accelerate advances in computing had he moved to an institution that valued his expertise more. By turning its back on computing for the next 20 years, the institute lost its shot to be at the forefront of many fields. Dyson quotes his father, physicist Freeman Dyson, who was at the institute at the time: "When von Neumann tragically died, the snobs took their revenge and got rid of the computing project root and branch. The demise of our computer group was a disaster not only for Princeton but for science as a whole. . . . We had the opportunity to do it, and we threw the opportunity away."
Nonetheless, the legacy of von Neumann and the MANIAC affected fields considered cutting edge today. One of the earliest research projects von Neumann championed was a study by Nils Aall Barricelli on the foundations of artificial intelligence and the evolution of simple "organisms" within a computer. One wonders what von Neumann might have helped happen had he lived longer.
Dyson rarely gives overt personal opinions about the stories he is telling. Instead he orders events within the text to make apparent a certain narrative flow, or an analogy between disparate subjects. Sometimes this classical-historian tendency can be a bit much—an entire chapter on the Colonial history of the area where the Institute was founded seems largely extraneous. And some of the references are rather oblique—for instance, he mentions the security trial of Robert Oppenheimer but does not provide much detail about it. In addition, mathematics-averse readers may find their eyes glazing over at certain segments of technical detail, although the same discussions may appeal to those who like to know how algorithms and the machines that ran them really worked. And there are existential discussions that would sound bizarre out of context, such as whether advanced beings would reproduce digitally, and whether computers were originally created for their benefit. But Dyson is skilled at tying it all together. He hints at where he thinks computer science is headed—namely to machines that can execute multiple commands in parallel, instead of waiting for other pieces of the machine to tell them what to do. There's no real way to predict where the digital universe is going, as Dyson notes—but then, that's what makes it so interesting.

Indian Health Service The Federal Health Program for American Indians and Alaska Natives

- Improving Patient Care
Improving Patient Care (IPC)
IPC Improved: Your Journey Just Got Healthier!
The Indian Health Service (IHS) launched the Improving Patient Care (IPC) program in 2008 to improve the quality of health care and to provide greater access to care for American Indians and Alaska Natives using the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model. Now, seven years after the launch, IPC continues to achieve success in improving patient access to care, implementing clinical quality enhancements and ensuring patient satisfaction.
IPC is making a difference in the health and well-being of American Indians and Alaska Natives. It all began with 13 original sites in 2008; by 2015, 172 facilities (78 federal, 69 Tribal and 25 Urban Indian Programs) have participated in the IPC program, serving approximately 615,000 patients. These sites are changing health care delivery by moving toward a PCMH model — a system of care in which patients receive the care they need when they need it — from their own Indian health care teams.
IPC assesses its work through measures of clinical prevention screenings, management and prevention of chronic conditions, the patient care experience and patient access to care. Since launched, IPC has increased clinical prevention screenings for hypertension and depression, established outreach for victims of domestic/intimate partner violence and developed measures to track patient satisfaction. IPC participants continuously strive to improve the quality of care and use data to drive all improvement activities.
Moreover, the IPC program has been an important contribution to IHS' role in supporting the Affordable Care Act. By training teams in methods to improve the quality of and access to care, the IPC program is directly supporting US Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) goals and objectives and IHS agency priorities to enhance the quality of care for all people served by IHS, Tribal and Urban Indian health facilities.

Reptile and Amphibian Conservation
Project Orianne - The Indigo Snake Initiative
Eastern indigos are North Americas longest snake, reaching more than 8 feet. Adults can be as thick as two fists and weigh upward of 10 pounds. Their color is a striking glossy or bluish black. Their home ranges cover thousands of acres. Their diet is expansive, encompassing almost anything smaller that can be swallowed live, even rattlesnakes.
Federally listed as threatened in 1978, Drymarchon couperi has seen its historic range from South Georgia to the Florida Keys and southwestern Alabama shredded by habitat loss and fragmentation. Populations dwindled as the non-venomous snakes were run over by cars, killed by people and gassed in gopher tortoise burrows, an illegal practice tied to rattlesnake roundups.
Project Orianne: The Indigo Snake Initiative began about two years ago after a member of the projects founding family held an indigo and, moved by the experience, asked her father to save the snake. The result is a growing organization with a simple but far-reaching goal: Conserve eastern indigos and their habitats across the snakes range.
Considered to be one of the largest snake-focused conservation efforts in the world, the project translates into conserving habitat through acquisitions and easements, and establishing programs for land management and restoration, captive breeding and propagation, and for snake inventory and monitoring. Project Orianne will also conduct and support research, including with the universities of Florida and Georgia.
The initiative has bought 900 acres of indigo habitat in Telfair County and is developing computer models with the University of Massachusetts to guide conservation practices such as prescribed fire in Georgia's Altamaha River basin. The organization is also teaming with the Georgia Wildlife Resources Division and other agencies and nonprofits across the region.

HPAC Engineering Webinar Series: Grease Ducts: New Generation
May 28, 2008 @ 2 p.m. ET
Conventional grease ducts are field-welded and require 18-in. clearance to combustibles. In most cases, these ducts are field-wrapped with insulation to reduce clearance to combustibles and provide fire-resistance rating. The new generation of factory-built grease ducts offers a better alternative to conventional and field-wrapped grease ducts. This Webinar examines these new modular grease-duct systems, which offer zero clearance to combustibles and fire-resistance ratings; discusses the certification testing they undergo; covers the standards and codes with which they comply; and describes their features and benefits. Participants will be educated about a new modular, non-field-welded, insulated grease duct and its features and benefits; the fire tests this grease duct undergoes for listing; and the standards and codes with which this grease duct complies...MOREHPAC Engineering Webinar Series Archive

I'm still convinced that he played a part in this. And it goes back to all the reasons he gave for not seeing her face to face. I think initially with the first few contacts online he thought she was real. I give him that. But very shortly after that he knew she wasn't real, but really wanted a girlfriend who was what she described herself as. He convinced himself that she was real even after knowing that she wasn't. He's part fraud and liar, part immature and gullible IMO.

^I know what you're saying. I can get behind that. I don't know that I necessarily agree 100% but I think that's very plausible. Wanting it so bad you just make yourself willfully blind. And pride can play a big part in that as well as his actions after the truth was revealed.

Upon Arrival we have been changed to another appartment, but with the same facilities and also close to the city centre. I was big enough and clean with all the facilities we need. The location was great and we didn't have any Problems.
Me and my family spent one week in this apartment and we had a great time there. It is very well located, with stores nearby where you can get everything you need in case you don´t want to spend so much money eating outside. The rooms are big and confortable and the people who manage the apartments always willing to help or provide anything you need. We will never forget our stay there. Thanks very much!! María
Highly recommended. It's agency with many apartments, very professional and resourceful. Upon arrival we were informed that our apartment had been damaged and were moved to a larger one. Change without paying more. Upon arrival we saw that the TV did not have USB and changed us for another very fast. I recommend it without any doubt, very friendly and professional. They have in the office with a person who speaks Spanish, not met but is very useful.
Right in the centre of town. Easy walk to everything. Big apartment. We (me, wife and 18 year old son) were very comfortable. We parked our hire car out of town for 3 days then caught a tram back to the apartment.
The appartment is located in a very good place because
Is into the old city and near the old square. The problem
With this appartment is the four large floors that we must
Climbed by foot with our bagages and the kitchen has no
Windows and there aré no living room.
We enjoyed our stay in cracow very much!! Th city ia really great and tanks to the apartement we could really enjoy it. The place was perfect for five people. Very big bathroom and it`s location is perfect. It is next to the big market place where all the sightseeing must sees are located! So we can really recommand this apartment!
Effective organisation and flexible arrangements. Absolutely central area and vintage building (what many look forward in Cracow). The apartment itself is in good condition. With few adjustments, it could be super (towels in the bathroom, sink in the kitchen and a couple of other things). The kitchen is small but functional. Still, I can recommend it.
Was very happy with our stay, the apartment was nice and clean, and very spacious. We were very happy with the location, although we did not stay at the location shown on the map or in the pictures (we were still in the old town).
Marike and Nico - Holland
Fine appartment in one of the main streets of the centre. Good services from P&J appartments with the check-in and check-out.
large appartment with more than enough space
with a walk of less than 5 minutes you are at the central market (Rynek Glowny)
Not such a nice bed
Small windows, litte fresh air and a bit dark but you have many lights to turn on
No parking space, but you can park at the 24h parking from hotel Wyspianski (Street: Mikolaja Kopernika), 15euro for a day and 10 minutes walking to appartments Florianska.
The apartment was excellently located - just a few minutes walk from Market Square. The reception were very helpful and friendly. The facilities were good and it was very clean. I thoroughly recommend.
My only reservations were about things that were really beyond the control of these guys - it was unusually hot whilst I was in Krakow and the apartment was very stuffy (they had provided an electric fan) and there were building works outside which meant it was noisy early in the morning.

Every year there has to be one idiot. Charles is a borderline first rounder. Mistakes like even as second rounders can cost 100'000 dollars over the life of a rookie contract. Its really unbelievable
Former Georgia tight end Orson Charles, one of the three best tight end draft prospects in this class, was arrested for DUI on Friday morning.
That news was first reported by the Georgia student newspaper Red & Black. CBSSports.com has since confirmed with theAthens-Clarke County Police that Charles was arrested at 4:31 a.m. ET on Friday morning.
Charles was arrested for DUI and "minimum speed." Per the police office, that means "basically, he was driving too slow."
Reminds me of Black Sheep
Motorcycle Cop (David St. James): "Tell me, officer, do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
Mike: "Well, I got a 426 Hemi in her, Three-quarter cams, nitro boosters, I can get 'er up to as good as 155! Never do, though, of course, unless I'm chasing a cute chick in a Ferrari! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I guess I was goin' about 65, tops."
Motorcycle Cop: "Seven. Seven miles an hour! And normally, when I stop people, they pull onto the shoulder!

Justin Bieber has bared his bottom in a photo posted online.
The music star pulled down his trousers and mooned the camera for the surprising snap, which he shared with millions of fans on his official Instagram blog on Saturday.
The picture, which shows Bieber peering over his shoulder and grinning, was deleted shortly after it was published, but it had already been accessed more than 15,000 times.
It was posted shortly after Bieber won a court victory against Stacey Betts, who was claiming $9 million over hearing damage allegedly suffered at one of his concerts.
The singer's manager Scooter Braun took to Twitter to address the photo, jokingly referring to Bieber as a "crack dealer."
"As a prankster you have to respect another good prank. Only makes sense," Braun tweeted.

[quote user="Ntegrase96"]True but there is a difference between troubled players and players that cause problems within the team.
Not saying one is better than the other. But clearly Bryant isn't disrupting the team like Owens did-- just himself and his possible future. More so like Irvin before he cleaned up his act (a bit at least) rather than Owens.
Owens didn't have off the field issues, just locker room drama that absolutely ruined team chemistry in Valley Ranch.
That's all I'm getting at.
Didn't Dez create a controversy within the team when he refused to carry pads for other guys like all the other rookies were doing? Maybe he's not a cancer on the level of TO, but let's not confuse that with being a good team guy. He's a punk.

March 28, 2014 - Many St. Louisans know Sweetie Pie's as a great place for soul food and a favorite local eatery of TV icon Oprah Winfrey. Nationally, however, Sweetie Pie's is known for family drama and humor through a "docuseries" of the same name on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). The show features restaurant owner Miss Robbie and the triumphs and trials of her life - professionally and personally.
In an episode airing this month, Miss Robbie fulfills a promise to her mother to take care of her younger brother, George, who needs open heart surgery. George is a patient of SLUCare cardiac surgeon Dr. Richard Lee and interventional cardiologist Dr. Michael Lim. Watch the episode trailer here.
Tune in Saturday, March 29, at 7 p.m., to see the how this local family rallies around George before and after his surgery at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital.

This past Saturday, I made an impromptu trip to the Lebanon County Historical Society. I looked through the microfilms to find a photo of Gerald that was taken during his Recruit Training at the Great Lakes Recruit Training Center in Illinois. It was printed in a 1960 issue of the Lebanon Daily News. The result was a better quality, but still grainy, photo. Below, you can see a comparison of the original find, the microfilm copy and a photo of my brother Dan, taken during his time at Parris Island Recruit Depot for Marine Corps Recruit Training. See the family resemblance?
UPDATE: I've found the photo!

OWASP WebGoat 4.0 Released
WebGoat is a deliberately insecure J2EE web application maintained by OWASP designed to teach web application security lessons. In each lesson, users must demonstrate their understanding of a security issue by exploiting a real vulnerability in the WebGoat application. For example, in one of the lessons the user must use SQL injection to steal fake credit card numbers. The application is a realistic teaching environment, providing users with hints and code to further explain the lesson.
Why the name "WebGoat"? Developers should not feel bad about not knowing security. Even the best programmers make security errors. What they need is a scapegoat, right? Just blame it on the 'Goat!

Rated PG
Release Date: July 31, 2013 (in theaters and 3-D)
Directed by Raja Gosnell
Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Brendan Gleeson, Jayma Mays, Sofia Vergara, Hank Azaria
The Smurfs are back! In Sony Pictures Animation's The Smurfs 2, the little blue guys head to Paris, France, after Smurfette (voiced by Katy Perry) is kidnapped by the evil wizard Gargamel (played by Hank Azaria). Gargamel wants to use Smurfette to turn his own Smurf-like creatures, called the Naughties, into real Smurfs. But before taking on the City of Lights to rescue Smurfette, the Smurfs go back to New York City to ask for help from their human friend Patrick Winslow, played by Neil Patrick Harris, and his wife Grace (Jayma Mays). Over email, Harris answered questions from TFK about the Smurfs, filming in Paris and his magical hobby.
In the first movie, Patrick Winslow was reluctant to let the Smurfs into his life. What is his attitude when the Smurfs reunite with him in The Smurfs 2?
Patrick grew to love the Smurfs in the first film, so he was very happy to see them return to the Winslow house. Unfortunately, that happiness is short-lived when he learns that they need his help to recover Smurfette!
What adventures do we have to look forward to?
The Winslow clan heads to Paris, hoping to save Smurfette and foil the now famous Gargamel.
Paris is fantastic—historical, romantic, chic. It was a joy to wander the streets and eat delicious meals. Unfortunately, I was by myself most of the time. I will say that Paris is infinitely better when you have someone there the share it with. And when you speak the language...
Which Smurf do you most identify with?
I'd like to say Papa, but I fear my fiancé would say Vanity!
If you could be a Smurf for a day, how would you spend it?
Gazing at myself lovingly in the mirror. Oh no, I guess I AM like Vanity! I jest. I'd probably be more like Jokey Smurf and wander around holding a wrapped box for people to open and explode.
Which scene was the most fun to film?
The showdown with Gargamel at the Paris Opera House was exciting. The building itself is phenomenal. It's rare that they let U.S. production crews film there. Plus, there was lots of action—leaping, diving, wire work. It's surprisingly technical, but I love that sort of thing.
What is the most challenging part of acting with imaginary characters?
The most challenging thing is having to be so exact with your movements. Every take, every angle, needs to be precise so that they can add the CG Smurfs later. Yet you don't want to seem unnatural or like a robot. So keeping every take (looking) spontaneous yet super specific was most of the job.
Why should kids go see The Smurfs 2?
Kids should see Smurfs 2 because they loved the first film, own it, (have) watched it 50 times and need another fix. It's also, from what I hear, an even stronger film, which is unusual for a sequel. Oh, and there's a talking duck. That's always a draw.
In addition to acting, you have also been performing magic tricks since you were a kid.Can you share any tips?
Magic is a wonderful hobby. There's so much to learn, so much history. It requires patience and discipline. One of my favorite things to do as a kid was work hard and save my allowance so that I could visit the local magic shop and buy two or three new "miracles." I loved knowing the secrets and not telling them to a soul. Then I'd go home, lock myself in my room and work in front of a mirror until I got the tricks down. I'd come out, gather my friends or family and put on a show. Great memories!

Reviews of this property
Everything was perfect, we stayed for 3 weeks in this host, as we had booked a course. The property is centrally located to the center, everything could be reached on foot. Our landlords were very nice and helped with any kind of questions and tips. It was always very clean and the kitchen is very well equipped. We'll definitely be back.
Alles war perfekt, wir wohnten 3 Wochen in diesem Host, da wir einen Sprachkurs gebucht hatten. Die Unterkunft liegt super zentral zum Zentrum, alles konnte fußläufig erreicht werden. Unsere Vermieter waren sehr sehr nett und halfen bei jeder Art von Fragen und Tipps. Es war stets sehr sauber und die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
We loved staying here. The accomodation is cosy and clean, Lili was very helpful and the neighbourhood is very pleasant. There are a lot of restaurants and boutiques in the street and surrounding streets, all very nice. And both the old (city centre) and the new (ciudad de las artes y las ciencias) highlights are a fifteen minutes walk!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Excellent! I agree with the previous comments.
Very friendly and helpful. Lily and Dani gave me great tips. Insiders only!
Rooms, bathroom and kitchen were very clean.
Lili and Dani are two great people and super hosts!
We had a very good time and felt like home in our nice room!
The whole apartment is very clean, modern and welcoming.
Thank you Lili and Dani!!
See you next year!
The stay at Dani's & Lili's apartment was really great! The room was like it is on the pictures and everything was very clean and tidy. They both arranged to be there when we arrived at the apartment. They showed us around and gave us some tipps for Valencia. All in all a very nice stay! Only recommendable!
Amazing!!!everything was perfect!!!Lili and Daniel are so kind and helpfull. The room was clean and with all the confort, close to lot of good restaurant, public transport and everything you need to visit valencia! i'll suggest to everyone this accomodation
Having just arrived home from travelling through the South of Spain for a few weeks, we are all too happy to share here how wonderfully we started that journey with our stay with Lili and Dani. Not only a very patient couple (our arrival was hours late because of our delayed flight, and they waited for us and welcomed us with ease and cordiality) but also such joyous, helpful and warm people. For us, the most memorable thing of our stay in Valencia is having met with Lili & Dani. But we also felt very welcome in our little studio that was decorated and furnished with impeccable taste,designed to make you feel at home! If you love the pictures of the rooms - well, nothing is exaggerated, it is at least as nice as you see in the photo! Also really comfy is the location of their place: near the park, on walking distance to the old city, and in the middle of nice places to eat very Spanish tapas or to have a nice breakfast. We think we will be back one day...
Very friendly staff, room was prettily furitured, hence to the old character of the buildings in that area, the walls and doors were pretty thin, so expect some noises from neighbors:)
The bathroom was shared but very clean.
We would stay again anytime.

OUCH! MI Proponent Issues Reprimand at PAUSD Meeting
Original post made by Andrea, Crescent Park, on Nov 16, 2006
I'm sorry if he's bothered by the opponents taking 3 minutes or so at the board meetings, but the fact is that his group can remain silent because they have an inside track, in that the founder of PACE is in a leadership position in the Feasibility Commitee and has more than enough influence and face time with the school board staff and committees, as well as access to all the data that will be used in the report. Those who oppose MI are not so privileged and are only seeking truth, and to be heard and heeded, even if they can only speak once or twice a month, three minutes at at time. Shushing them by reprimanding them in Open Forum won't make them go away.

Exactly. What still amazes me is the lack of on-the-ground teaching and site administrative staff input on MI, or any other special program. What we have is individual groups starting initiatives, and essentially politicizing education. It's a shame, and it's one of the larger reasons that educational inefficiencies in the classroom occur.
MI is a great idea; so is SI, and so are many of PAUSD's other special programs. That said, PAUSD actually loses the benefit of not making these programs MORE productive and satisfactory to the ENTIRE community, because they often come out of the oven half-baked, and not thougght through in terms of how they actually work at the sites. It's a shame, really, because teachers - who have so much insight to offer on how this stuff works, and doesn't work - are the last ones listened to.

Well, I wasn't going to bring it up, being one of the ones this particularly smug speaker was addressing, but thanks to Andrea, whoever you are. Appreciate the support.
All I could do was laugh at the shameless attempt to frame us as inppropriate, especially given the coverage the PA Weekly has NOT given the opposition, as well as all the advantages the opposition has NOT had within the PAUSD system as stated by Andrea.
Well, my turn to be shameless. Please see page 31 of Wednesday, November 15th, PA Weekly for the Ad we had to pay for in order to get the word out about some of the opposition points. Please mail it in to the Board to let them know how you believe. Also, for more details, go to www.paee.us .
Granted, most of the Board has made it clear they don't vote by poll, and rightfully so given the nature of "polls" in general and these kind in particular. ON the other hand I believe I know the Board members well enough by now to believe that even the strongest proponent on the Board is open minded and willing to reexamine how s/he is thinking about this issue if faced with enough requests to examine concepts that s/he may not have considered when initially favoring going down this path.
But they need to hear from you, asking them to re-examine the whole issue of placing more alternative lottery programs in our District. Ask them if they want to vote for a "lottery" program, which means to limit access of qualified students to a program, and an "alternative" program, which means to deny many kids their choice of a neighborhood school.
I am hoping this opposition will lead us back to approaching the whole concept of foreign language acquisition in a way that matches our community better; one which matches not only the priorities of this intelligent and educated community but the values of this community to provide equal educational opportunities to all qualified students. In other words, the "all for one and one for all" attitude we have been moving toward as exemplified by the increasing commitment to PiE.
Maybe we in opposition have read our town incorrectly, and a lack of input to our Board will reveal that these are not our values, but at this point only you all can determine that.
Thanks for putting up with me...again.

If the district really wants to provide Mandarin instruction in a way that would have the most impact on the most students in the district, the best way to do this would be to start offering the language in the middle schools.
I'm not sure why this hasn't happened yet. Certainly if it were a choice between MI for a very small group of students or middle school Mandarin classes for any child in the district who wanted to take them, the latter would be the best use of funds.

Adobe - this is a very old thread, PAUSD has an MI program at Ohlone. None of the middle schools currently teach Mandarin, but both the high schools do. I think Ohlone is about to "graduate" their first class of MI students, not sure what will happen when they are in middle school.

Excerpt: "After New York Giants rookie defensive tackle Markus Kuhntore his ACL in a 31-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, it was inevitable that he would wind up on season-ending Injured Reserve (IR). On Thursday, the Giants made it official, shutting Kuhn down for the remainder of the year.
Because they're on their bye week, the Giants have not yet made a corresponding roster move, leaving them with only 52 active players. However, with no practice until next week, there's no major rush to fill that void, which would explain why they held a very crowded private workoutearlier this week.Still, Big Blue may not jump at the chance to add another defensive tackle. And although familiar faces like Jimmy Kennedy and Marcus Thomas remain available, the team will likely opt to rely on second-year DT Marvin Austin.
"Hey, it's time now," defensive line coach Robert Nunn said. "He's got to show up, and he's got to strap it on, and be ready to perform and produce, and there's no excuses. So we'll see how that unfolds." Read more...

E3, LOS ANGELES - May 10, 2006 — Capcom®, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced God Hand™, an over-the-top action game with outrageous undertones for the PlayStationâ2 computer entertainment system. With great power comes great responsibility. Play as a drifter bestowed with supernatural-like abilities who must confront the fate and responsibilities inherent with this new found power. Hand-to-hand combat is at its best when gamers unleash the power of the God Hand to deliver righteous punishment onto worthy enemies. A dangerous whirlwind adventure awaits when God Hand is released throughout North American in Q4 2006.
Centuries ago, the world was in imminent doom until a man defeated Satan and sealed away his godly powers into his own arms. People feared and revered this person who would become known as "God Hand". Legend has it that anyone who acquired such hands would possess immense power that could turn them into a deity or demon. Fast forward to a small town overrun with thugs wielding super-human strength. A gruff drifter named Jean finds his way to this troubled region and defends a woman surrounded by a brutal mob. Despite his valiant efforts, Jean is overpowered by these thugs and his right arm is severed before falling unconscious. He later awakens to find his limb whole again and that he is now the possessor of the legendary "God Hand". The burden of being hunted by demonic legions seeking the right hand of God soon begins. embody
In God Hand, it's judgment day as players assume the role of Jean as he tries to ward off the demons that seek to obtain the coveted appendage. Although he may have been granted the strength of the almighty, keeping these foes at bay won't be easy as evil approaches from all directions for the ultimate showdown. Fortunately with a vast repertoire of moves, delivering deadly blows and crushing attacks has never been so satisfying. Disintegrate every enemy into the very dust that blows through the town and exorcise the evil spirits that possess the locals by unleashing the power of the God Hand. With nearly limitless combo possibilities, gamers can juggle enemies in the air and obliterate them with spectacular finishing moves. It's Armageddon time!

Vikings are 4-1 somehow. I hope they come back down to earth and they beat SF. I never thought GB would be this bad.
Hell, moments before the first of those plays, Giants fans on this board were lamenting about how the 49ers were flat out better, etc, etc, and then suddenly Williams drops a late game changing Christmas present... twice.

The Charm and Allure of Ohio Amish Country
Marigold Bed & Breakfast • Chesterland, OH
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two
- Wine Tasting and Tour for Two at M Cellars Winery and Four Wine Glasses
- Included Golf Cart Rental
- Combine Unlimited Vouchers for an Extended Stay
The Destination
The brightest lights in the Amish country of Northeastern Ohio are the stars in the night sky. Cars motor lightly on the county roads more often traveled by buggy, passing pine-topped hills and rolling ryegrass fields dotted by storybook farmhouses. Don't mistake the quiet for drowsiness—Geauga County is a land of barn-raisings, meticulous wood-and-leatherworking, and close-knit families relishing the joys and passions of a life led simply and deliberately.
The Digs
You'll find serenity at Marigold Bed & Breakfast, only 30 minutes from Cleveland, yet worlds away from the hustle and bustle. You and a plus-one will be charmed by the intimate inn situated on 30 acres near Amish Country. Awaken each morning to the smells of a full breakfast served in the dining room or on the patio before spending your day at leisure. Stroll around the property to admire the summertime greenery. Later, curl up with a good book in front of the crackling fire. Take a golf cart rental to the alpacas and explore surrounding trails or Chesterland Historic Village. Relish the peace and quiet with a picnic hike in nearby parks. Or, seek solitude along the slopes of Alpine Valley, only a 10-minute drive from the inn.
"I loved the location. The owners and operators were awesome! I would definitely go there again! My daughter and I pick a place to go together every year, and we were not disappointed! Thank you so much Beverly (the innkeeper)!"-- LivingSocial Member

This guy is actually not that good. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would rather have Blackburn than McClain.
This guy is actually not that good. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would rather have Blackburn than McClain.
Let me pose this question... how does everyone know how good McClain is or isn't?
I find it hard enough to keep up with the NFC East let alone the NFC. I never see the Raiders play nor have the time to watch every team play on Rewind.
I dont see what we have to lose by grabbing the guy? Why not try anyway?
The negative to drafting players out of Alabama: Everyone around them is good, they cover up each others mistakes.
Apparently, he's not half bad against the run when the defense allows him to find the ballcarrier without too much traffic to deal with but he was so bad against the pass that the Raiders pulled him for rookie Miles Burris on obvious passing situations. If he somehow isn't claimed by another team in the waiver process (which I doubt), I'd be all for bringing him onto the team next offseason at a vet min contract to see if he's still a salvageable player.
I'm down. Wouldn't hurt to see if he could contribute. I remember these boards begging for us to draft him.

International law expert to speak at Wayne Law Nov. 12
November 08, 2012
DETROIT — International law expert Julian Mortenson will present a free public lecture at 12:15 p.m. Nov. 12 in the Spencer M. Partrich Auditorium at Wayne State University Law School, 471 W. Palmer St. Lunch will be provided.
A professor of law at the University of Michigan Law School, Mortenson will present "Drafting History and Treaty Interpretation: the Travaux of Travaux."
"Travaux Preparatoires" is a French term for the materials used to prepare an international treaty, materials that offer its legislative history — including reports of discussions, hearings and floor debates produced during the drafting of a treaty or agreement. The materials are recorded in case they're needed to clarify interpretation of a treaty.
Mortenson argues that the standard view that the Travaux Preparatoires of a treaty play only a minor role in its interpretation is a wrong view, and has seriously distorted our understanding of some important international agreements.
The professor, whose scholarly work focuses on public international law, national security law and constitutional law, has served as an arbiter, counselor and expert witness in international commercial and investor-state disputes.
When he was in practice at WilmerHale, he was one of the principal drafters of the merits brief in Boumedience v. Bush, which secured the right of Guantanamo detainees to petition for a writ of habeas corpus, giving prisoners in the detention camp the right to face their accusers in court to determine the legality of their confinement.
Mortenson also has worked at the International Criminal Tribune for the former Yugoslavia and served as a law clerk to Justice David Souter and Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III.
Mortenson's talk will be the last of five fall speaker events sponsored by Wayne Law's Program for International Legal Studies.

'A N*gger in Net': Racism at the World Juniors

The World Junior Hockey Championship has captivated Canadians again this holiday season. But the sight of Team Canada's goalie's skin colour was met with laughter, bemusement, confusion and contempt in Canada and abroad. Thankfully, the long-ignored vestiges of disdain for diversity in hockey have been gaining attention nationwide, in the USA, and across the pond as hockey fans and foes band together to address long-standing pressures that still blight the game.
