Shine on in Sunny Isles Beach
Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort • Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Standard Room with Ocean View
- Daily Breakfast for Two
- $50 Resort Credit
- Nightly Valet Parking
With the bright rays of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, by day, and Miami's neon glow by night, it's easy to see everything in a new light. And the view of the Atlantic Ocean from the Newport Beachside Hotel & Resort isn't shabby either.
Once the hotel's valet whisks your car away upon check-in, set out to discover the Miami area: Admire the Art Deco architecture; search for sexy swimwear or nightclub duds at the Village of Merrick Park, one of the city's hippest new shopping districts; or spend the afternoon snorkeling.
For dinner, settle in under the blue lights at the on-site Kitchen 305, where dishes like tuna tartare Kobe beef sliders with chipotle-mango barbecue sauce and lobster bruschetta are served under the direction of Executive Chef Chris Wong.
After breakfast the next morning, practice the art of relaxation with a hot shell massage, facial, or nail treatment at the Seven Seas Spa & Salon before an afternoon of water sports—whether it involves a Jet Ski or a chartered boat is up to you. Just don't miss the delicious Cuban cuisine or South Beach patio dining (great people-watching) while you're in town—both are extremely eye-opening.
"Love it! Friendly staff and perfect location. Beautiful beach with tiki huts and a busy pool deck, and their restaurant and lounge, Kitchen 305, is great fun!"-- TripAdvisor

UTSA ranks sixth in state in HUB expenditures
By Pamela Bacon
UTSA Associate Vice President for Administration
(Dec. 7, 2007)--The third annual HUB Awards and Recognition Ceremony, hosted Nov. 28 by Kerry Kennedy, UTSA vice president for business affairs, honored the members of the UTSA community who contributed last year to the success of UTSA's Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) program.
At the ceremony, UTSA President Ricardo Romo announced that UTSA ranks sixth among the top 25 historically underutilized business (HUB) programs in the state. Up from a 19th ranking last year, it is the sixth time in seven years that UTSA is among the top 25. Romo presented engraved plaques to UTSA staff members who served as HUB advocates last fiscal year. (See the list of award winners below.)

In fiscal year 2007, UTSA spent more than $17.2 million (35.44 percent of total purchases) with HUB vendors, which are minority- and women-owned businesses certified by the state.
"UTSA continues its support of historically underutilized businesses," said Romo. "I thank everyone at the university for taking part in the HUB program. As one of the fastest growing universities in the state, it is important for UTSA to continue its leadership role in supporting HUBs. Because of this program, many of the university's purchasing dollars stay in our community."
The ranking is according to the Texas Building and Procurement Commission, which lists the top 25 agencies reporting expenditures in excess of $5 million. UTSA's expenditures were $48.6 million (up 3 percent from $37.4 million in fiscal year 2006) with $17.2 million spent with HUBs, a 6.5 percent-of-expenditures increase from fiscal year 2006.
Other University of Texas institutions joining UTSA in the top 25 are UT Tyler (48.46 percent), UT Dallas (33.27 percent ) and UT El Paso (26.48 percent).
The top 5 Texas agencies in HUB utilization for 2007 were Texas A&M International University ($3.6 million, 63.71 percent), University of Texas at Tyler ($8 million, 48.46 percent), Secretary of State ($3.2 million, 36.98 percent), Texas Legislative Council ($3.3 million, 36.61 percent) and University of Houston-Clear Lake ($3 million, 35.82 percent).
UTSA's HUB staff coordinating group meets quarterly to discuss HUB activities and guides the HUB program to achieve the strategic goals and objectives set forth for the university.
Staff coordinating group members for 2007-2008 are:
- Pamela Bacon (chair)
- Dalila Martinelli
- Cassandra Porter
- Terri Vasquez
- Leopoldo Cervantes
- Mansour El-Kikhia
- Orestes Hubbard
- Cindy Colston

Yes, New Zealand are about to play England in a cricket series. But a curious observation will be how the South Africa vs South Africa contest-within-a-contest unfolds.
Of the 25 players named in England's Twenty20, one-day and test squads, seven were born in South Africa.
Four of the 26 players New Zealand had in the Republic were of a similar origin. It continues an immigration trend in recent years for both countries.
Those numbers also make for a hypothetical first XI ... here's the batting order.
Michael Lumb (Eng)
Born: Johannesburg
Age: 32
Squad: T20
Pedigree: 11 T20 internationals
Despite 150 first-class matches, Lumb has fashioned a career as a Twenty20 specialist at international and franchise level. Earned his pedigree contributing to England's World T20 title in 2010 with heavy top order blows. Recently starred for the Sydney Sixers in the Champions League final, hitting an unbeaten 82 off 42 balls to help defeat South Africa's Lions by 10 wickets and finishing as the tournament's top scorer.
Nick Compton (Eng)
Born: Durban
Age: 29
Squad: Test
Pedigree: 4 tests
Broke the ceiling as Denis' grandson last year when threatening the exclusive mark of 1000 first-class runs by the end of May (in the English season). Only eight players have done it. Compton fell 50 runs short on nine not out (which he turned into a century on June 1). He has made a steady test start, averaging 34.66 in four tests against India. His top score is 57 but four other opening knocks yielded between 29 and 37.
Jonathan Trott (Eng)
Born: Cape Town
Age: 31
Squad: Test/ODI
Pedigree: 38 tests, 54 ODIs, 7 T20s
Trott has ensconced himself as England No 3 which included a key role helping retain the Ashes in 2010-11. Nicknamed Booger, (after a resemblance to the Revenge of the Nerds character), Trott is familiar with New Zealand. In 2005-06, then Otago coach Mike Hesson brought him out as their overseas player. His father, Ian, is premier coach at Auckland's Parnell club and sister Gayle is a publisher in the city.
Kevin Pietersen (Eng)
Born: Pietermaritzburg
Age: 32
Squad: Test
Pedigree: 92 tests, 132 ODI, 36 T20s
The polarising Pietersen is only playing the tests but will spin turnstiles as he edges towards his ambition of 10,000 runs at an average of 50 with 30 centuries. Those statistics currently sit at 7414, 49.42 and 22 respectively. After the texting saga which led to a rift within the England team during last year's South African series, perhaps he could offer tactical clues to the South African-born New Zealanders?
BJ Watling (NZ)
Born: Durban
Age: 27
Squad: Test/ODI
Pedigree: 10 tests, 19 ODIs, 3 T20s
Sound efforts with the keeping gloves in South Africa mean Watling - who has been in New Zealand 17 years - can expect to retain his spot against England. Batting in the middle order, he was also second on the test batting averages (42) behind Dean Brownlie (43). Two top-score 63s in the second test tried in vain to edge New Zealand to respectability. Will be wary of the threat posed by Wellington's Luke Ronchi.
Grant Elliott (NZ)
Born: Johannesburg
Age: 33
Squad: ODI
Pedigree: 5 tests, 40 ODIs, 1 T20
In South Africa, Elliott proved that the tactic of selecting players on reputation rather than form can still work. He gave centurion Kane Williamson valuable support in the Kimberley ODI win on his way to 48. He also led the fightback with 54 in the Potchefstroom loss. Before the series, his last ODI was in December 2010 and his form prior to selection was patchy as a batting all-rounder. Go figure.
Matt Prior (Eng)
Born: Johannesburg
Age: 30
Squad: Test
Pedigree: 62 tests, 68 ODIs, 10 T20s
Fits into the category of veteran wicketkeeper and has bolstered England's batting order at No 7, with an average of 43.19. A core part of the juggernaut which ploughed England up the test rankings. Prior also played a key role reintegrating Kevin Pieterson into the dressing room with a candid phone call before the Indian tour. New Zealand could take note re Ross Taylor.
Colin Munro (NZ)
Born: Durban
Age: 25
Squad: Test/ODI/T20
Pedigree: 1 test, 2 ODIs, 3 T20s
Emigrated aged 15 after growing up emulating Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis. Munro's better than a-run-a-ball 269 in the Plunket Shield for the Auckland Aces against the Wellington Firebirds plus two other hundreds and a fifty this season led to selection across all formats in South Africa. Showed signs of promise in the last ODI with 57 off 62 balls. Likely to be persevered with against England.
Neil Wagner (NZ)
Born: Pretoria
Age: 28
Squad: Test/ODI
Pedigree: 3 tests
The leading wicket-taker in the last two Plunket Shields has to convince he's ready to continue at test level. That will continue with his appearance for the New Zealand XI against England in the first T20 warm-up in Whangarei tomorrow. The attacking left-armer replaced Chris Martin for the second test in South Africa but took one wicket for 135. He was also the most expensive bowler, sieving 4.09 runs an over.
Stuart Meaker (Eng)
Born: Pietermaritzburg
Age: 24
Squad: T20
Pedigree: 2 ODIs, 2 T20s
Has earned a reputation as a whippy right-arm quick who can swing the new and old ball both ways. Remains the fastest bowler recorded at England's national cricket performance centre at Loughborough. Meaker was Surrey's leading wicket-taker in the 2012 first-class season with 44 wickets at 22.56 apiece. Pays close attention to his hygiene judging by the foot deodoriser he carries in his kitbag.
Jade Dernbach (Eng)
Born: Johannesburg
Age: 26
Squad: T20
Pedigree: 22 ODIs, 18 T20s
Produces a potpourri of bowling deliveries from slower balls to yorkers touching 150km/h which make him useful in the shortest forms. If you are watching the ball out of the hand, don't be distracted by two arm sleeves of tattoos. Dernbach's anticipating plenty of joie de vivre in New Zealand, judging by a tweet from Mission Bay in reference to the team's arrival: "Some pasty rigs looking for some action."

I dont remember nearly as much of a negative reaction about Lee as I did about Poz. I do remember liking Lee more for a 34 than a 43 though, which got a few people mad at me.
I never thought much of Poz who was quite popular on these boards.
[/quote] Its becasue of Poz that Lee got negative attention LOL People tend to get bad wraps if that positon from that school(like TEXAS and Safetys before my boy Earl thomas put a end to that!) has a few duds in a row I never think like that but quite a few did I actually said of LEE like i did Chad Jones "they remind me of giants draft picks" Obviously we drafted JONES but LEE has that Giant Feel to him as well Anyhow LB's outta Penn St seem to get a bum wrap but hopefully LEE will change that perception
ehh i dunno. I agree with everything your saying up until you say PSU Lbs get a bum wrap. If anything I think its the opposite.

After Arsenal's1-1 draw at Liverpool on Sunday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the match via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @ArsenalDotCom
@benkalcher - Decent performance, hard to get a result at Anfield, but against 10 men we should have won
@vichimaru - It was a fair result. Liverpool played well but I guess a draw is as good as a win for this kind of encounter for both teams
@Noble_V - I think we did well though we could have won the game. But hey, we just got started so big things on the way - thumbs up
@teedonable - A good start for the season, Arsenal showed a good spirit until the end which eventually awarded them the draw
@ar33ka - The Gunners looked sharp at the start but they seemed to lose touch as the match progressed
@philly169 - we played Liverpool out of the park, great possession. Just need to get in the box more and get some shots off
@gagogonzalo - Rosicky was just awesome, he should be Man of the Match. Hoping for him to play more centrally, such a talented playerCopyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

After two decades without sax, I've taken up playing my favorite woodwind again. Anyone familiar with the sound of beginners' band practice is also familiar with the sort of cringing indulgence demanded of supporters during the squawking early phase of lessons. Fortunately for my family and neighbors, relearning the saxophone happens a lot faster than learning how to play it in the first place. In my experience, this is true of many geeky enrichment activities.
Still, there's a valid elephant in the room: Why do geeks ever give up the hobbies we love? Of course, anyone can lose interest in a given activity, but deeply enthusiastic people tend to hang onto the objects of their interest as long as they can. Gamers may stop playing a game for awhile after they've beaten it, but quit gaming altogether? Not likely. Band geeks are like that, too, as are avid knitters, comic book aficionados, and Harry Potter nerds. So what makes a person give up the geek? Continue Reading "Long Time No Geek" »

Profootballtalk.com reporting Welker and Lloyd could be on the way out in NE. I don't know what it is, and I've said it before on this board, but Belichick scares me regarding Cruz. I think he'd give up a 1st rounder in a second to get Cruz there. #-1 he has tons of picks from previous trades. #-2, he'll have a need, if he releases those 2 guys. #-3. I look at what he did with the Ballard B.S last year, and I think he'd just love to stick it to us.
I don't know his cap situation, but I'm concerned.
Any of you guys feel the same, or am I paranoid?

Arriving in Maastricht
Loading Map
Very dear friends of mine met us at the station in Maastricht and as the sun came out and the temperature rose, they treated Linda and I to a driving tour through the province of Limburgh, in which Maastricht resides. This is a Roman walled city, the oldest in The Netherlands, established in the 13th century. The population is approximately 150,000, with dense population in the city and farms and small villages nearby. The city is charming, along the Maas River and has beautiful cobblestone streets, parks and bicycles everywhere
I have special ties to Maastricht having moved here fifteen years ago to work for a Dutch company. I stayed at Frans and Martine, the people we are now with and the reason this trip came to be….to celebrate their 60th birthday party with them. I stayed at their Bed and Breakfast for three weeks when I moved here while waiting for the house I would be renting to be available. I knew no one, didn't speak the language and at times felt quite lonely and lost. By the end of the three weeks at the B&B, Frans was sending me off to work with a thermos of hot coffee in the morning and he and Martine had introduced me to their friends and family and the three of us developed a deep friendship. During the time I was here, they seemed to sense when I needed "family" and always included me in whatever they were doing. I have visited them many times since and always feel as if I'm coming home when I return to Limburgh and Frans and Martine. I have heard that is not usual for Dutch people to take someone into their lives as much as they have with me, so I am indeed blessed with their friendship and love.
They have a lovely house that is about 200-300 years old which they have remodeled and made it and the garden very elegant. It has 3 floors with very steep stairs
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Looks like a wonderful place to explore. Like similar to our tour up the Rhone river not too far from Marsalis (sp), Arles, home of VanGohl had the Roman walls around the inner city, We saw these Roman walls on all the cities on the Rhone.\
You don't want to be in Palm Desert right now. 108 degrees and 110 tomorrow with winds around 15mph with thunderstorms tonight. The dust is blowing and everyone is hunkered down. No cars, nothing outside.
I never did find your wine. Your plants all look good, front and back.

Thruster Fins
The Thruster fins setup is a three fin setup that also happens to be the most common and popular fin configuration out there. Fast, nimble, and full of a plethora of options, the tri-fin is king. You have the drive of three fins, coupled with the hold of a center fin, and the release of smaller outside fins in comparison to a big twin fin. The three fins provide arcing turns and smooth speedy drive, as opposed to other fin setups that can lean towards a more squirrely skate style.

Super Metroid came out in 1994. You'd think that video-game storytelling would have advanced since then. On the basis of Metroid: Other M, the latest iteration in the series for the Wii, it has regressed. The final hour or so of Other M is mostly pre-rendered cutscenes, long on talk and short on action. The final interactive sequence is appalling, nothing more than a pixel hunt.
Like a lot of fans, I feel a sense of ownership of Metroid. In fact, Nintendo owns the franchise, and it's free to do whatever it wants — which in this case means farming out the development to Team Ninja, the folks who brought us the ultra-violent Ninja Gaiden games, not to mention Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball, where the only things that bounce more than the ball are the pendulous breasts of the competitors.
After the uninspired conclusion to the Metroid Prime trilogy, 2007's Corruption, Metroid was due for a shake-up, and some of Team Ninja's ideas work here. Samus has never moved more snappily. You're working mostly with digital, not analog, controls, and the game's responsiveness is almost psychic. Things get hairier when you switch to first-person mode by pointing the Wii remote at the TV. Samus can't move in this viewpoint, and for my entire playtime, I never got comfortable with the transition from holding the controller sideways.
Whether or not it's the beach volleyball talking, Team Ninja's take on Samus Aran isn't satisfying. This is the first time she's had a speaking role, which is fine, but it's also the first time she's seemed helpless, which is not. As part of a team of soldiers, Samus must discover who of her comrades is an assassin. Because she has a personal history with the unit, we're treated to boring flashbacks where she ruminates on her relationship with everybody.
Worse, in-game, it's the commander who authorizes Samus to unlock her suit upgrades, so she suffers through blistering heat until he tells her she can use her Varia Suit, and she lumbers past barricaded doors until he tells her she can use super missiles. I'm not concerned with what this says about Samus Aran as a character as much as what it says about my agency as a player.
Other M has some decent action sequences, like the freakish boss battle against the pterodactyl-like space pirate Ridley, but it never allows you to feel like an explorer. Doors are locked arbitrarily; some upgrades can't even be used on your first play-through. For an adventure game, this is stifling. Metroid or not, it's a problem.

Gallup: Opposition to big government growing rapidly
posted at 11:36 am on September 21, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
To no one's great shock, the nation has reacted to the radical nature of the Democratic agenda by expressing even more suspicion of big-government solutions. Gallup polled adults, not registered or likely voters, and found a sharp increase in belief that government overregulates and tries to assume too much power, usually a result seen more among likely voters. In fact, the last time such sharp reactions got measured, Democrats lost control of Congress:
Americans are more likely today than in the recent past to believe that government is taking on too much responsibility for solving the nation's problems and is over-regulating business. New Gallup data show that 57% of Americans say the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to businesses and individuals, and 45% say there is too much government regulation of business. Both reflect the highest such readings in more than a decade. …
These two measures are based on questions Gallup has asked each September since 2001, and intermittently before that. The 57% level of public concern about big government in this survey is, among other things, coincident with an extensively increased government involvement in the economy, and the extensive focus on a large-scale government effort to reform healthcare that was underway as this survey was being conducted.
The chart shows the sudden jump upward in opposition to heavier regulation:
Interestingly, the peak of the "right amount" sentiment came in 2005, when the economy was sailing well. Despite what the White House and the Democrats think, the notion that government regulates too little has never been popular with the American people, not even in the most liberal sampling method available. At its best, it hit parity with "too much" and "just right" in 2002, after the economic crisis touched off by the 9/11 attacks. It now trails "too much" by almost 2-1.
Why, then, has the Obama administration and the Democratic Congress insisted on following a regulatory path? They appear to have fundamentally misunderstood both their mandate and the historical reasons they came to power. Even in 2006, Americans did not elect Democrats because they yearned for more regulation and government intervention in their lives. "Just right" dropped 10 points in 2006, while "too much" rose to 36% to lead all other options. The country elected Democrats because of the failures of Republicans to act ethically and responsibly, not to put Nancy Pelosi in charge of the agenda. Obama got elected because of widespread discontent with the Bush administration and the failure to select a candidate who represented enough change from it.
In misunderstanding these reasons, Democrats run the risk of squandering their opportunity to lead. Independents now have a majority that say government overregulates, up 12 points since last year. In another question, 57% believe that government is now trying to do too much, up from below a majority earlier in the year, while those who say government should do more has dropped to 38%. Those numbers are actually worse among independents, 63%-33%, the Democrats' key demographic to their 2006 and 2008 victories.
Those two elections gave Democrats an opportunity to show they could lead an essentially center-right nation on a path towards fiscal responsibility and careful use of government power. Instead, they took it to mean that the electorate wanted them to go on an even bigger spending spree than the Republicans did, with more government intervention and more infringement on personal choices than ever before. They're on a high-speed rail trip to electoral disaster, and the only question now is whether Republicans can derail these increasing unpopular agenda items before they become law and before they have a chance to take back control of Congress.

Others say extending the breaks for the wealthiest tax bracket means more economic damage to everyone, including businesses, in the future.
"While extending the tax cuts, albeit deficit-financing them, may have a positive effect on the economy through 2012, the impact is negative in 2013 and beyond because larger budget deficits reduce investment in productive capital, resulting in smaller capital stock," said Sara Imhof, Midwest regional director for the nonpartisan Concord Coalition.
She said extending the full range of tax cuts would equal $2.7 trillion in additional federal debt over the next decade.
A better solution, Imhof said, is tax reform. She said reform could create a broader tax base that "provides sufficient revenues to cover government expenses."

Hello. A couple of days ago, a friend advised me that a local fellow was wanting to sell a "target Hi Power" at a good price and that it was "practically new". I asked if he meant a Competition Model and described it but what it turned out to be was a 1980 Hi Power with adjustable sights, the old round "tin can" looking ones. It came with two holsters and three 13-shot magazines and had the classic checkered walnut grips. The "good price" was not so good as if it has been for a Competition Model, but still wasn't bad so I took a look at the gun.
It wasn't pristine as had initially been described, but it was in very good shape with but a tiny ding here and there but no rust visible anywhere on the bright blue frame or slide.
The pistol had been shot very little and cleaned even less.
I am not a fan of the old factory adjustable sights. In fact, those sights and their inability to hold zero for more than a couple of hundred shots led to my first custom Hi Power.
Still, it was a nice gun at a fair price so I bought it.
I pulled a like-new Mk III slide I happened to have (It had been matte blued but otherwise was stock.), and it fit the older frame very nicely. The bbl that came with the gun and bears the same serial number fit the Mk III slide quite well. Putting it into the slide and then pushing forward on the bbl and then rearward from the muzzle showed no movement that I could feel and the bbl's lugs were fully engaging the recesses in the slide. Checking this with a Blue Marks-a-lot confirmed what I already knew.
With the Hi Power assembled, the is no movement in the bbl-to-slide fit.
The bbl's feed ramp is the old humped version and if it causes any feeding problems, I'll alter it.
I stuck in a Wolff conventional 18.5-lb recoil spring, and knocked out the magazine disconnect. This improved the trigger a bit but not as much as I'd hoped for or experienced on other Hi Powers. I'd estimate this pistol's trigger pull at a clean but heavy 9 or 10-lbs.
Taking a few extra bbls I'd checked for fit in the gun, I grabbed some ammunition and slipped out to the range.
It was quite windy today and the longest distance I shot was 25 yards and did that while seated with my wrists braced. Did the same thing at 15 yards.
I did not bob the hammer spur as is my custom so I did get "bit" a tiny bit today, but I didn't want to alter the hammer if I wasn't going to keep the gun. The magazine "safety" can go right back in, but I cannot make the hammer spur grow so I'd held off.
Here's a picture of the Hi Power with the Mk III slide/bbl assembly in place. When this picture was taken, the magazine disconnect had not yet been removed.
At 15 yards, I blew 2 shots but only called the worst one. With the wind, the light hammer bite, and the heavy trigger, this was just about the best I could do. Others could no doubt do much better. The handload that was shot is not particularly accurate, but will usually do about 2 to 2 1/2" at this distance. I was shooting up the last of this mid-1100 ft/sec load.
At 25-yds, group size increased a bit and I still dropped one shot in the 9-ring. It was a called shot but not marked. The ammo used was Federal 124-gr. FMJ.
This Hi Power has the standard 32-lb mainspring and was used with the Wolff 18.5-lb recoil spring. These two standard pressure pressure loads worked fine although the handload didn't have quite enough "oomph" to lock the slide back once. The Federal ball as well as 115-gr. Fiocchi FMJ worked fine in all aspects as did a 124-gr. cast truncated cone handload, also over 6.9-gr. Blue Dot.
I am satisfied that the factory fixed sights are "on" so it looks like I'll be bobbing the hammer spur on this one. I think it is capable of much better grouping, but I'll need to work on the trigger pull to find that out for sure.
One of my other Mk III's has a bright blue slide with a matte frame. This one is just the opposite: bright blue frame and matte slide. For now, I'll leave the small factory single-sided safety in place as this one is a spare. When I get the trigger pull where it needs to be, I will take a look at fitting a slightly extended single-side thumb safety to the gun.
The way that bbls made during quite a span of years fit the Mk III slide and 1980 frame speaks pretty highly of FN's manufacturing in my opinion. Everything fit and only one bbl showed even a trace of "looseness" in the slide.
So, nothing real special, but sort of a neat way to get another Mk III and get to piddle around now and again to get where I hope to with this gun.
Besides, I just find it a heck of a lot of fun to shoot and mess around with Hi Powers.

Ever since Darwin proposed an evolutionary tree to describe the descent of species, linguists have sought to apply the concept in their own field. But languages can behave in quirky ways, lending to one another, changing in parallel, sometimes even converging. Now historical linguists may stand to benefit by borrowing a second idea from evolutionary biology.
Peter Forster, a geneticist at the University of Cambridge, was attracted by the riddle of Celtic, which developed on the continent as Gaulish in ancient France and northern Italy. It's known that the language jumped to the British Isles, where it evolved into Scots Gaelic, Irish, Welsh and the Breton language of northern France. But did that historic jump occur in one wave or two? And when did it happen?
These are difficult questions to answer, because the Gaulish language and its records were largely eradicated during the Roman conquest. Historical linguists commonly study how words in a language have changed over time, and the paucity of data left open many questions about the history of Celtic's modern descendants on the British Isles.
Forster and his colleague Alfred Toth of the University of Zurich realized that the problem might yield to network analysis, a technique used to trace the evolutionary relationships among genes. By examining the linguistic meanings and functions in Gaulish and comparing them systematically with their known counterparts in other languages, they could infer an evolutionary history for the whole family. Their results, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, provide some intriguing insights into the spread of language in Western Europe, and offer a new tool to linguistic historians.
This is not the first time that linguists have borrowed techniques from other disciplines. If a document has been copied repeatedly—an ancient manuscript, say, or a chain letter—researchers can trace its evolution by identifying "mutations" between generations. Last year, researchers at Rome's La Sapienza University compiled 52 translations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and computed their relative entropy to produce a fairly accurate family tree of Eurasian languages. Forster's phylogenetic technique was valuable because it could reflect "untreelike" reticulations—and could permit time estimates as well.
In order to minimize any bias arising from their own familiarity with the various languages, Forster and Toth began with Gaulish, for which a significant number of bilingual inscriptions have fortunately survived. These could provide valuable contemporary translations, forming a sort of Rosetta stone for understanding the origins of the Celtic languages spoken in Britain.
Starting with these inscriptions, the researchers compiled a list of 35 Indo-European items in 13 languages and applied the phylogenetic technique to analyze their characteristics systematically. Among the first things they noticed, for example, was that verbs precede subjects in the insular Celtic languages under study, but follow them in all the others. They amended the network to reflect this fact, and it grew in complexity as further observations were made.
The finished network displayed branches for English, Greek, Latin and the Romance languages, as expected, and it shed some interesting light on Gaulish and its descendants. Forster and Toth's results suggest that a common Celtic branch emerged early within Indo-European, and that Gaulish (continental Celtic) then divided from insular Celtic, which subsequently split up into Brythonic (Welsh and Breton) and Goidelic (Irish and Scots Gaelic). The "jump" to Britain had occurred in one wave, not two.
The researchers estimated dates for these events by comparing the accumulated differences between modern languages and their ancient ancestors, calibrating with known historical events. This produced an average rate of language change, in this case one lexeme "mutation" every 1,350 years. This would mean that ancestral Indo-European arose in 8100 b.c., plus or minus 1,900 years, considerably earlier than previous estimates of about 4000 b.c. It also suggests that Celtic arrived in Britain in 3200 b.c., plus or minus 1,500 years, before differentiating into the languages of the British Isles.
Forster cautions that future finds of bilingual texts could change the picture, but these results demonstrate the utility of his technique. Among other things, they lend support to the hypothesis that Indo-European languages were spread by early farmers, since agriculture is thought to have arrived in Europe around 6000 b.c. It's not yet clear, though, whether movements of language signify movements of people. "Did the Celtic languages spread by contact, or did the speakers themselves spread, or did both mechanisms happen?" Forster wonders. "This might be answered one day by genetics."—Greg Ross

Where I stayed
Phi Phi Cabana
We arrived on the small island of Phi Phi and checked into our hotel. The room was crappy, so we tried to get another one. Luckily, mother was insistent and we finally got a nice room where the air conditioning worked and it didn't smell like mildew. Our first night we went to Lindsey's favorite restaurant in the world, Papaya. She thinks it by far the best Thai food she's ever had, and after sampling the dishes, Mom and Sarah had to agree.Papaya isn't much to look at- it is a tin roofed shack with plastic tables
Lindsey and Sarah signed up for a SCUBA trip to "Hin Daeng" for their first day on Phi Phi. Hin Daeng is located about an hour and a half by speedboat off of Phi Phi and is the spot that has the most manta ray and whale shark spottings. We did two dives that day, and sadly did not see either. We did see a beautiful collection of tropical fish, and Moray Eels with heads larger than ours. The dive was also exciting because it was the first that Sarah did after her advanced open water certification.The water was rocky, and we both got a little seasick.
That evening we went to Tonsai Bay and got a seafood sampler with lobster, red snapper, and baked mussels. Then we decided to try out the nightlife. We sat down at a bar and Sarah and Mom witnessed their first fire show, which involves talented Thai men spinning poi (chains with fireballs on the ends of them) and flaming batons at astounding speed. Mother, who had baton twirled in high school, was unimpressed and claimed she could do that too. This got an idea into her head...
After Mom went to bed, and Sarah and Lindsey headed over to Reggae Bar, where most nights on Phi Phi begin. This is the bar with two for one bucket deals (okay, every bar on Phi Phi has two for one bucket deals) and a Thai boxing ring. In addition to real Thai boxing, anyone from the crowd can get up and fight their friend (or enemy). Hilarity is sure to ensue. Here we met our new friends Tom and Abby. They are from England and are also siblings traveling together. Afterwards we went to the two beach bars, Slinky's and Apache, where we met up with our New Zealand friends Ash, Rob, Phil, and a new addition Tommy. The two bars are located next to each other, use the beach as their dance floor and give away buckets from 12:10 and 12:50 to 1 am. Lindsey found a tin of black light paint and painted us all green. The next morning at breakfast we were wondering when mom was going to ask about our green fingernails.
The next day we spent the way we spent most of our days on Phi Phi- "chillaxing" by the pool. Our hotel was located on the most narrow part of the island, with one side facing tosonsai bay and the other facing a beautiful beach. From the lounge chairs at our pool we had the most beautiful view. To complement the view there were also realistically rendered statues of dolphins spitting water adorning the pool.
We had lunch at our other favorite restaurant on the island, Unni's. This is a Scandinavian restaurant that serves delicious sandwiches and salads. Papaya is not open for lunch, so we ate basically all of our lunches here. That afternoon Sarah and Lindsey took a nap, because mother does not tolerate sleeping in! That evening we ate at a french-Thai fusion restaurant, and Lindsey and Sarah went out on the town again. This time mother woke up to find our dripping clothes hanging in the bathroom, because we had all gotten thrown into the ocean at around 4 in the morning.
The next day was pretty much the same- sunbathing, relaxing, swimming. Mom had already come down with her cold, and Lindsey developed a sinus infection, so Sarah signed up to dive alone on Christmas eve. She and Mom headed off to bed early, while Lindsey met up with Tom and Abby and the New Zealanders again. Everyone was tired from all of the nightlife, and the rest of our friends were traveling the next day, so it was an early night.
The next morning Sarah went to the two local dive sites Bida Nok and Bida Noi. She had two great dives, and saw her first two sharks! There was a huge leopard shark sleeping by a reef, and a black tipped reef shark swimming around. That evening we prepared for the "Phi Phi Cabana Christmas Eve Extravaganza" the mandatory Christmas eve party our hotel put on.
The extravaganza involved a huge buffet and a live entertainment show including door prizes. When entering we also got noisemakers, poppers, Christmas hats and a tiny drum
Earlier in the night we had gotten a flyer for the "Pimps and Ho Ho Hos" party at Apache Club (the trashier version of Apache Beach Bar). We had to check it out. When we arrived, they were giving away free buckets! So we decided it was time for mother to have her first bucket. For someone drinking buckets for the first time, she managed to contain herself. After about 10 minutes at the party, when we could say we had been there, we headed back to our hotel and eagerly awaited Santa Claus.
Even though we didn't have a real Christmas tree (only the beautiful arrangement of flowers that Jon had sent Lindsey decorated with ornaments mom bought in Cambodia) Santa still managed to find us. We opened our gifts under the tree and had a nice Christmas breakfast together. Sarah's best Christmas gift wasn't brought by Santa- Patrick was flying into Phuket at 8:30 PM so she left on the 2 pm ferry to go pick him up. Lindsey and Mom took a break from "chillaxing" and rented a kayak. They paddled all around the island to different beaches and hidden coves.
Mom and Lindsey spent Christmas night at a fireshow, and mom decided to test her skillz. (Can you believe she tried it the night Sarah wasn't there?!?) She went up to the firedancers and asked for the baton. They made her try it without fire first to prove she could twirl it. Then they lit it up and off she went. She put on a fantastic show, and thinks she found her new calling in life. We think it's time to get her off this island!

Was looking around at the competitors websites and came across the following regarding package bees:
BeeWeaver Packages are the only packages hauled by the producer directly to customer pick up locations.
see the link: http://www.beeweaver.com/buy_beeweaver/packages
Is this really true? I know we haul our own. I thought others like OHBees did the same. I am sure there are others out there. Does anyone have any info to refute this claim. I'm not sure its purely accurate.
As per their claim that they have not used any mite treatments in over a decade I was wondering if there are any of their long time queen customers that will certifiably verify they have been able to do the same?

Celebrate in the clubhouse or in the dugout....... but not at home plate as though you just won a one game playoff for a trip to the playoffs!
Being a professional athlete means more than being on a major league club, it also means that you understand how to act appropriately when you're a bad team, squeezing out a victory in a meaningless game, that does nothing to advance you in the standings.....or make your horrible season any easier to stomach.
That over the top, pie in the face celebration was just as immature and unprofessional as anything Jordany Valdespin has been criticized by his teammates for doing!
A team that allowes 2 runs to score on multiple errors off the same infield hit, has no right to celebrate the way they did, or act insulted by anyone criticizing them for it.
And on a side note.....when are they going to STOP calling Home Runs "walk off "Home Runs??? There is no such thing as a "walk off" Home run because you don't WALK OFF after you hit it!

The Badass Bucket List: Air
<p>Playboy TV's Badass girls are kicking ass and taking names and knocking some pretty daredevilish things off their bucket list along the way. </p>
Last week we reviewed how the term bucket list came into existence; it was a lengthy and likely derogatory definition that included an eclectic bibliography of citations from such notable names as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Shakespeare and Arthur C. Clarke just to name a few. It used more than its fair share a few big words and it kind of dragged on.
But not this week.
No, this week I do believe we will be getting right to the action with the second installment of Playboy TV's Badass Bucket List. It's pretty much like any other bucket list: skydiving, surfing, sandboarding. All the jazz but with one noteworthy exception: our girls do it nude.
So whether you're afraid of heights or sharks or whatever, we're guessing you could probably overcome that fear in a hurry if the Badass beauties asked you to tag along while they kicked things off their Bucket List.

Music Review: Drake's Take Care
Drake's new album Take Care shows us a new side of the rapper we're happy to meet.
Not to date myself, but when told back in 2006, that Jimmy from Degrassi had a rap album coming out I believe my words were, "This makes me feel embarrassed and sad." I now admit this is one of those rare times I may have been wrong.
The track record of television personas turned musician is a morbidly hilarious list of celebrities hoping their records were just awful enough to be forgotten. Instead, Drake rose above, took all of the hesitant music enthusiasts by surprise and released one of the best albums of that year. Years later with a few award wins under his belt, Drake is releasing his highly anticipated album 'Take Care' today in stores. If you're expecting Drake's sophomore album to soundtrack nights you spend driving around downtown LA in luxurious cars or spraying models with 10,000 dollar champagne, you're sorely mistaken.
This album is best listened to on more low key nights at home, say, crying over an ex while drinking her favorite white wine or laying on a couch reflecting on a life full of expensive commodities and little else. Drake's album is grim, it's bare and it's beautiful. In the spoken word intro to 'Crew Love' Drake pretty much spells out exactly what this album is about when he says, "Make this an open letter about family and struggle/About it taking forever/About hearts that you've broken and ties that you've severed."
I have to commend Drake on a couple of things. One, for opening doors on behalf of the impending 'emo-rap' takeover our pop culture will face when his album hits. And two, for not relying on the quirks which made his album Thank Me Later. Take Care is a new kind of post fame album that shies away from the idea that once you have something that works, don't try to push further. Drake's openness to trying new things musically and being okay with refining his rapping while adding depth and intelligence to his rhymes, will hit a chord with listeners. It takes a young artist to break the mold of a music genre and this talented rapper was ready to take the plunge.
Best Tracks
Over my Dead Body, Headlines, Take Care, Lord Knows, Make Me Proud
Skip These
Cameras/Good Ones Go, Marvin's Room (We like the Jo Jo remix better.), The Real Her (Andre3000 could've saved this track, but his rap starts 4 minutes in which is way after you hit skip.), The Ride
Best Feature:
I know it sound obvious, but it's definitely Rihanna and Jamie XX on the feature track Take Care.
Best Shout Out:
Weezy & Stunna my only role models / Hef and Jordan my only role models / that's why I walk around with all this gold on - Lord Knows ft. Rick Ross
Be sure to check out Drake Official for any upcoming tour dates.

Analysis assistance requested
I am currently trying out Amahi Home server as a home server (obviously) included is a vpn server, and they suggest their own, easy to use client software for windows.
download HERE: http://dl.amahi.org/HDAConnect3.exe
Now, when I downloaded the software I scanned it with MSE (clean) and submitted it to Virus total. The file had last been submitted in 2010 with 2 alerts. I reanalyzed the file and the report came back clean 100%. On a whim, i threw the MD5 into google and received one result
http://xml.ssdsandbox.net/index.php/4a7 ... b78f1180ca
It looks like an analysis of the file with a different exe name. IAC, the review indicated what to my untrained eyes appears to be suspicious and concerning.
http://xml.ssdsandbox.net/index.php/files424 shows trojan files I suppose in the exe. In addition the exe appears to add some flags to itself, "Security anonymous" I havent looked this up yet but it seems suspicious. I was wondering if anyone wanted to take a look before I present this to the Amahi community.
In the meantime, i'll likely look elsewhere for a free vpn client.

Don't "tough out" heart attack symptoms for more than five minutes. Call 911 or other emergency medical services for help.
If you don't have access to emergency medical services, have someone drive you to the nearest hospital. Drive yourself only as a last resort, if there are absolutely no other options.
Heart attack symptoms vary widely. For instance, you may have only minor chest discomfort while someone else has excruciating pain. One thing applies to everyone, though: If you suspect you're having a heart attack, call for emergency medical help immediately.
