Taylor Dent called it "definitely, without question, the worst tennis experience of my entire life", and it's hard to know whether the fact his Friday night thrashing by Andy Roddick lasted only 72 minutes is a good or a bad thing.
There is plenty Dent could have done with that hour and 12 minutes. He could have flown to Sydney or Adelaide. He could have driven to Trentham or watched "everyone's favourite cat-and-mouse team race from one exciting adventure to another" in the Tom and Jerry: Whiskers Away DVD (the only movie we could find with an exact run time of 72 minutes).
He could even have done a Google search, trying to find enough things to do in 72 minutes to fill this column item (like I did).
A Dent in the shopping plans
There is also plenty Dent could not have done or, rather, kept doing instead of enduring the "absolutely embarrassing" 6-2, 6-0, 6-2 rout. Researchers in Britain surveyed 2000 couples last September in order to better understand the "primeval instincts" that guide people's shopping habits, and found men can trawl the stores for precisely 72 minutes before throwing in the towel. The average woman, for the record, can last 28 more minutes.
A-Rod digs C-Street
Roddick, who will give Sjeng Schalken his first taste of a fourth-round grand slam match tomorrow, conceded he was "probably sleeping" when the Dutchman won through earlier on Friday afternoon. But he has not spent all his spare time on a hotel couch.
While Roddick went shopping in Melbourne two years ago and left with just a Best Aussie Barbecue Mix CD, he has become a bit more cultured of late. "One of the great things about Australia is the number of different cultures you can find," he wrote in a recent journal for USA Today. "You can probably have a different type of food every day for two weeks."
Despite his run-in with the "barbecue mix", Roddick has also headed back to the CD stores. "There's a great shopping district called Chapel Street nearby that has some pretty cool shops for music and vintage T-shirts," wrote the Dave Matthews Band and John Mayer fan.
Venus on the tourist orbit
Yesterday's straight-sets loss to Lisa Raymond completed Venus Williams's worst performance at this tournament in six attempts. Williams's next event, the Toray Pan Pacific Open, does not start in Tokyo until February 2, so it was no wonder the American entered her media conference pondering life as a "tennis tourist", for the next little while, anyway. "I'll go see the 12 Apostles now," Venus said. "Who knows: Ayers Rock, all those good things."
Somebody loves Raymond
Williams's departure from the round of 32 still left her with another $46,000 to jingle around in her pockets. But if she needs someone to shout her that trip to Uluru, she should track down the punter who yesterday morning put $70 on Raymond to knock her out in straight sets and collected a handy $2800. Williams was a $3 second favourite with TAB Sportsbet to win the championships before the match. Raymond's odds were $301.
A hard line to call
The phones at Australian Open HQ ran hot with customer queries even before the tournament's first balls were hit last Monday, and there have been some quite confused callers. One, ringing before the Open began, said they had tickets for January 28 and wondered "which players will be playing that day?" Another simply said: "We're from Adelaide and have no idea about tennis. Can you help?"
Kath and HG, perhaps
The 3AW lines have been buzzing, too. The station broadcast yesterday's Sports Saturday program from Melbourne Park and posed a straw poll - should Roy and HG have been allowed behind the microphone this week? - that had the audience split. One caller, though, had a reasonable suggestion, saying the pair should be able to call the men's doubles only if Kath and Kim were let loose on the women's event.
Dirty dreads, not dirt cheap
One player the foxy ladies from Fountain Gate might term a great big hunk of spunk, James Blake, yesterday took his turn in the Fan Fest tent, signing T-shirts, tennis balls and various body parts and answering questions from the crowd. Blakes' freshly shaved head was again the subject of many questions, which led us to wonder whether anyone had actually bid any money for the dreadlocks he put up for auction on eBay last week.
The answer: yep, one person is $660 poorer, and another minus $635 (if now, admittedly, in possession of a matted piece of hair that hasn't been washed in several years).
The good news is that 10 fresh dreads (with autograph cards) have been released and are still going cheap. Proceeds from the auction are going to a girls' basketball team coached by one of Blake's friends in Connecticut.

Ready Rockaway To Host Hurricane Planning Event
Ready Rockaway, a community based emergency preparedness organization, invites you to their National Emergency Preparedness Month event; Hurricane Irene – Then and Now.
Ready Rockaway will host the event in partnership with the Rockaway Youth Task Force, a youth organization which strives for social change in the Rockaways through youth leadership.
The guest speaker will be New York City Council member James Sanders Jr., but other elected officials, community leaders, local first responders, and community members are invited as well.
Ready Rockaway is a group of trained Emergency Preparedness professionals and community leaders in the Rockaway area, understanding the need to plan and galvanize their community for emergencies. They are getting Rockaway ready by sharing important information for effective emergency preparedness.
"We come together to study our hazard possibilities unique to Rockaway and calculate our resources already in the community and those having to come from outside the community," said Executive Director Zandra Myers. "We pledge to work together to educate residents on what to do in various kinds of emergencies and we will bring the resources we need from outside the community to assist us so that we can best assist Rockaway."
According to Myers, in order to prepare for an emergency, you must first know the hazards that you face. "Once you determine what you are up against, prepare a plan for surviving the disaster, test the plan, and have an emergency kit available with life-supporting items that are easily accessible or can be taken along if you must leave your home for an extended period of time," said Myers.
At this year's local National Emergency Preparedness event, each elected official will be given time on the program to speak briefly. This event will be held in our community at Knights of Columbus, 333 Beach 92 Street.
Those interested in attending should RSVP to 800-283-4818. Parking is available!

Los Angeles, which had drafted Spencer late in the second round in 2007, traded the 6'3 sharpshooter to New York for its 2010 first round draft pick. The Sparks then sent the pick and Raffaella Masciadri to the Minnesota Lynx in exchange for Noelle Quinn, a former UCLA guard and native of Los Angeles.
By surrendering its future first-round pick the Liberty signaled that it wanted Spencer in the fold this summer. Spencer felt the acceptance as soon as she arrived.
"I really have," Spencer said. "I've really enjoyed getting to know the team and the staff. They really care about the players. They care about the well being personally on and off the court. It's been an amazing experience and very welcoming. It's been quite a transition, and they've made it really easy."
Spencer had finished her season with Maxima Broker Kosice in Slovakia – she hit 49.1 percent of her threes (26-53) and averaged 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game – on April 26 and had returned home to Alabama for a week before departing for the Dominican Republic with Shanna Crossley, also a former Lady Vol, in early May.
Spencer had just finished a basketball clinic and was getting ready to go to dinner with Crossley and the other missionary participants, when the lead organizer of the trip got a call on his cell phone from Spencer's agent, who wanted to let her know firsthand about the May 5 swap.
The way Spencer saw it she was in the perfect place to learn about career-changing news.
"I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else but where I was," Spencer said. "The whole reason why I was there was to share the message about Jesus to the people and so my perspective was just totally on wherever God would have me, and I knew that he was in total control and if he wanted me in New York that was fine. I was around people that could pray for me and encourage me. I wouldn't have wanted to find out any other way."
Spencer returned to Alabama and instead of packing for a trip to the West Coast to be reunited with the Sparks and former Lady Vol teammates Candace Parker and Shannon Bobbitt, she prepared to go to New York to join Loree Moore, another former Tennessee teammate.
Spencer had mentioned last summer that one drawback of Los Angeles – the beach was a big draw – was the lack of a nearby Wal-mart. The closest one required a lengthy trip on southern California's clogged freeways. So, she was delighted to find one close to the team's training facility in White Plains, N.Y.
"The hotel shuttle can take me right to it, if I needed," said Spencer, who is staying in a hotel since she just arrived in the city.
Her personal greeting came from Moore, who welcomed her former teammate to the Liberty. Spencer and Moore overlapped for two years at Tennessee – she was a freshman when Moore was a junior.
"It's so nice," Spencer said. "She totally understands what's going through my mind. She knows how I think. We have that connection at the basketball level, just that knowledge because we come from the same program. It's been nice to have her on the team."
Spencer has been with her new team for less than a week – she played 14 minutes in the exhibition opener against Washington on Thursday and was 1-2 from the field with one rebound – with another exhibition game scheduled for tonight at Connecticut. The Liberty has 14 players on the roster, and 12 logged minutes Thursday with Moore and first round draft pick Kia Vaughn sitting out. The regular season for the Liberty opens June 7 in Madison Square Garden against Connecticut, and rosters must be trimmed to 11 with no injured reserve.
"There is not a whole lot of job security, especially this year with the spots being dropped to 11," Spencer said. "You've just got to keep doing what you do and hopefully you'll be here."
The players did have a brief break between overseas and WNBA seasons, unlike a year ago when training camps were moved up, so as to start the season sooner to accommodate the break for the Olympics in Beijing. Spencer and Crossley made the trip to the Dominican Republic, excursions they had done in the past when both were in college.
"Fortunately the season got pushed back by two or three weeks so we actually had a window of time and it worked out perfectly," Spencer said. "The overseas season and the beginning of the WNBA season they (often) overlap so once you finish overseas you have to go right to your team to begin camp or your season. Fortunately, because there's a little bit of a time gap hopefully we can go back to doing it every year. That's the goal."
Spencer won't be able to practice next fall with the Tennessee team, as she had occasionally done in the past, because she has less than two weeks between the end of the 2009 WNBA season and when she is due back in Slovakia.
"That was my first year overseas," Spencer said of the just-completed season. "I had a blast. It was a challenge, especially being so far from home with the time difference. I had to get adjusted to international play and how they do things. I enjoyed it. I lived in the center of a small city so I could walk everywhere if I wanted to. I met some great American people there and I had a great (rapport) with my teammates. It was cool. I don't have any complaints."
Spencer used the Internet and a Slingbox – a device that allows the user to remotely watch their home television – to keep up with the Lady Vols this past season.
"I have a Slingbox on my computer so I tried to record the games and watch them," Spencer said. "I talked to all the coaches here and there. I came back in March (on a brief trip home) and went up and visited with them for a little bit. I tried my best to keep up with them and to read about them."
Tennessee lost in the first round in the NCAA tourney for the first time in program history, and Spencer said her reaction was one of sympathy for the entire team.
"I felt for the girls; I felt for the coaching staff," Spencer said. "I know that they have put in a lot of hard work. Sometimes that's just the way that things go, and you just learn from it and you move on. Everyone is going to bring their 'A' game when they come to play Tennessee. That's just how it is. That's just the legacy that Coach has created and what her teams in the past have.
"I think they're going to grow from it and hopefully go through these growing pains, move forward and they'll be a better team because of it."
Spencer has landed on a team that is expected to contend for a WNBA championship this season. The Liberty made it to the Eastern Conference finals last season and fell to Detroit after having the Shock on the ropes. The intro into the team's website – New York Liberty – has the slogan, "The March To The Playoffs."
"They're this close," Spencer said. "They're a step from being in the final."
For Spencer that means learning the playbook and carving out a role on a new team in a new division in a short amount of time.
"I have been completely overwhelmed since I got here," Spencer said. "I have been trying to learn the new philosophy and system behind the Liberty and the coaching staff and what they expect so I need to kind of find my role, but I definitely want to win a championship."
Spencer won the last game she ever played in an orange-and-white uniform for Tennessee. She was a starter and key contributor on the 2007 national title team that beat North Carolina and then Rutgers in Cleveland in the Final Four. There are familiar faces from those teams on the Liberty roster in Erlana Larkins of North Carolina and Essence Carson and Vaughn of Rutgers.
Spencer's versatility was key in college – she could play inside and outside and hit the three-ball – but the WNBA presents taller and stronger players inside, so Spencer usually plays on the perimeter. She is listed as a guard by the WNBA, but she can also slide to the small forward position because of her ability to shoot the ball. Spencer hit 54 three-pointers in 34 games in her rookie year with the Sparks. With the shortened rosters this season Spencer's first priority is to earn a uniform.
"My goal is to make the team and from there move forward and contribute any way I can," Spencer said.
Spencer will line up against her best friend – Crossley plays for the San Antonio Silver Stars – in the third and fourth games of the regular season, one on the road and the next one in New York. The fifth game is at Atlanta, where former Lady Vol Chamique Holdsclaw plays. Holdsclaw took a hiatus from the league and just competed overseas but she now makes her home in the Atlanta area and wanted to return.
"You can always learn so much from players like her, so I am excited she's back," Spencer said. "I think she just needed a little bit of time off, a little rest, and now she's back and ready to go. I think she'll do well in Atlanta and hopefully they'll have a better season this year."
Spencer will face her old team in the Garden on July 9 when Los Angeles comes to New York. Parker, who gave birth to a baby girl earlier this month, could be back by then for the Sparks.
"I was so happy for her," Spencer said. "She absolutely loves kids. I think she will be an amazing mom. She's surrounded by a lot of great people in Los Angeles, too."
Spencer uses "social media" to connect with fans and sincerely seeks contact and input. She has her own website at Sidney Spencer and also writes a blog at yardbarker.com.
"That reminds me I have to send a blog in," Spencer said. "I do like to keep up with my fans and let them know where I am and what's going on. I can respond to fans. They find out you're a real person. Some people see me to be some kind of hero or something, and we're just normal people and our job is to play basketball. I like people to see the other side of me and basketball is not my identity. It's something I do."
When Spencer's playing days are over – something she is honestly not giving much thought to at the moment, especially with a new WNBA season about to begin and with her overseas team beckoning again next season – she wants to continue her missionary work. She also could consider coaching.
"I would like to go into missionary work using basketball and I would like to go into coaching possibly, but I don't know," Spencer said.
She also intends to use her time in New York to explore the city and that will include shopping, restaurants, museums and the literary arts.
"I'll go see plays on Broadway or go shopping or maybe go to a poetry thing," Spencer said. "I am willing to explore all areas and atmospheres. Why not? I am in one of the greatest cities in the world, so I am definitely going to take advantage of it. I will not be stuck in my apartment, that's for sure."
Spencer said she could either use a car to get to the Garden for games – it's about an hour drive – or hop on the train, which takes about 30 minutes. The players reside near the train station in White Plains.
It's already been quite a journey for a humble player from a bedroom suburb of Birmingham, Ala., who earned the nickname "Sidville" in college because of her tendency to drift into her own stream-of-consciousness world. Her professional career has taken her to Los Angeles and Slovakia and now New York.
"I've been across the country and around the world," Spencer said. "I'm growing up, aren't I?"

Walnuts are so much smoother and creamier if you soak them, and when you drain the water off, you'll also be washing away the anti-nutrients, making them better for you and easier to digest! I tried whizzing them up into a milk and was amazed at this their creamy deliciousness. Add a really ripe banana for some sweetness, vanilla for a touch of softness and crisp green lettuce for all the goodies it contains and you've got a fun, thick, delicious and nutritious smoothie that really hits the spot.
2/3 cup walnuts, soaked (preferably for 24 hours to make them really soft)
1 ripe banana
1/3 tsp vanilla seeds
1 1/2 cups water
6-10 romaine lettuce leaves
· Drain the walnuts and rinse them well.
· Add the walnuts to the blender, along with the roughly broken up banana, vanilla seeds and water.
· Blend until smooth, using the pulse button if you have one to help break up the walnuts.
· Break up the lettuce leaves with your hands and add to the liquid in the blender. Re-blend until really smooth.

Congressional Budget Resolutions Shoot for the Sky; Miss Low-Hanging Fruit
The House Budget Committee and the Senate Budget Committee have passed budget resolutions that shoot for the sky with respect to health reform. Their proposals recommit the Republican majorities to patient-centered health reform and show a path forward for the next president. However, they do not harvest some low-hanging fruit offered by President Obama. Failure to do so might doom patient-centered health reform to the forever future.

No. Must be new. They are vin locked. Once a vin is programmed it cannot be changed.
There may be after-market add-in modules available for the base radio if you're just after XM, Bluetooth audio or a line-in. The OEM Nav is a long-way around to get that. While it may be the easiest way to get Nav, full functionality may not be a practical (cost effective) goal. Members advising trading for another STS to get desired features are making a valid point.
I'd say the way to start is to be sure what's most important to you and then evaluate the alternatives. Unfortunately, the STS wasn't sold/produced in large enough numbers for a lot of aftermarket solutions but members have found several. If all you want is XM, there are several ways to get there: (it was available on base & nav OEM's and then aftermatket options). If your heart is set on a full-blown system, I remember reading a post from a member who found a module that would let him store the base car settings without keeping the radio. (That may not help owners that want to replace their OEM nav but it solves that concern for you.)
Good luck!
Then it's just a matter of getting plugs wiring it up as having the module added to the can bus system via tech 2.
There is also the matter of the xm aerial which I believe is in the shark fin, which may or may not be there. I'm guessing not. The shark fin also houses the Onstar aerial.
I think all STS came with the rooftop antenna; which style is a different story. This car is the opposite of an easy mod.
I should have made my response clearer. They all have the shark fin, whether or not both aerials are in there, is what I meant.
Agreed. If the XM antenna isn't there, it's no small task.

Dreadnaught Fire Company shows its colors once again
On Sunday, a small group of Bristol's fire and rescue department, their friends, family and a few elected officials gathered on the corner of Church Street and High Street to celebrate a simple, yet significant act that the members of Dreadnaught Fire Company haven't been able to do for quite a long time. While the notes of "Reveille," as played by trumpeter Justin Teixeira, pierced the quiet neighborhood, Dreadnaught firefighter Water "Rocky" Monrue had the honor of raising the American flag above the town's fire station, an act that reflects the honor of duty that all first responders share.
"We have been without a flagpole and have been unable to fly our nation's flag for at least eight years," Captain A.J. Medeiros, commanding officer of Dreadnaught Company, said as part of the ceremony.
In 2004, he said, the original, wooden flagpole that held the country's banner from 1900 became rotted and could no longer be used. Because the company could not afford to replace the pole, the flag was not displayed on the station.
To help get the American flag back up over the Dreadnaught Company, J-Boats of Newport donated a sailing mast as suitable substitute. Mr. Monrue took on the project of converting the mast into a flagpole, a project that took "countless hours" of re-design, preparation and fabrication. On top of the new pole, Mr. Monrue secured the sculptured eagle that was salvaged from the original flagpole, effectively linking the past with the present.
Recognizing the hours of painstaking work that Mr. Monrue volunteered to construct the flagpole, Capt. Medeiros graciously thanked him, along with Mrs. Monrue "for allowing him to work on it in the garage."
Capt. Medeiros remarked that the flag is more than "a piece of cloth varying in size, shape, color and design." It's "also a symbol of hope, freedom, strength and courage," he said. "The flag is not just a symbol, but a feeling and a personality."
Calling the American flag a symbol of sacrifice made by those past and present, Capt. Medeiros said he wants the Dreadnaught's flagpole to be an extension of that symbolism, in memory of the company's past members.
"May we look up and be reminded of their sacrifices and be grateful for what we have," he said.
With the flag billowing in the breeze overhead, those present saluted or stood with their hands over their hearts, listening as Victoria Carroll sang the National Anthem.
After the ceremony, guests toured the historical fire station and viewed the artifacts inside that depict over a century of the fire company's history and traditions. Dreadnaught Fire station is home to Ladder One and Truck Six. It also houses Engine Four and Marine One.
"Our past members are never forgotten," said Capt. Medeiros.
Among those the company pays homage to are Michael Andrade, the first Rhode Islander to die in battle fighting in Iraq. A photo of Mr. Andrade is displayed on a table alongside a framed American flag. On a nearby wall, the company charter is draped in a black cloth in memory of Fred Serbst, a former member of the company who recently died after battling cancer.

Longtime MN State Sen. Claire Robling (R-Jordan) is stepping down. The first paragraph of the following references the infamous meeting at which then Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch was abruptly hustled away and "confronted" over her relationship with Michael Brodkorb:
Of the four senators who met with Koch, (Geoff) Michel, (Chris) Gerlach and now Robling have announced their retirements. Koch will also retire at the end of this session.
By all accounts, Robling is a very pleasant person who is responsive to her constituents, regardless of their political leanings. On her own Facebook wall, Star Tribune columnist Lori posted:
Sen. Claire Robling put herself on the Legislature's retirement list Friday, to the regret of fans of her reasonable brand of Republicanism…
I highly recommend the linked article (click on "stepping down") from Bluestem, which also includes good analysis of the borderline-inchoate mess that is the Minnesota Senate Republican caucus, and the inability of its current leadership to do anything about it.

Ascent Journey 2016 is a unique and comprehensive document where Atos' Scientific Community presents its predictions and vision for the technology that will shape business through to 2016.
It builds on Journey 2014 – Simplicity with Control and is enriched by the new challenges which have now emerged in reshaping both society and business alike.
Our research suggests that the convergence of key issues affecting Demographics, Globalization and Economic Sustainability, underpinned by Trust, will see a new way of working emerge in which traditional barriers no longer exist, but where security and privacy are more important than ever.
We refer to this new paradigm as "Enterprise without Boundaries" – the enterprise is still there but the old boundaries have moved or disappeared altogether.
The journey to a world of enterprises without boundaries will require further openness in how we live, work and interact. There are clear examples of how new relationships built on trust are changing how we behave both in and out of work:
- The growth in trust between organisations that lead to Open Innovation will outdate the patent wars of 2012 and mean that companies learn to share skills to counter rising research costs and shorter product life-cycles. The growth of Generation-Y in the workforce will speed the adoption as they have grown up sharing across social networks.
- The trust of consumers to divulge ever more personal information in the digital world, the increase in sensor data and the strong push to store all generated digital or digitized data, will lead to a Total Data economy where Pattern Recognition Strategies and Data Analytics will enable organisations of all sizes to improve their services and better predict future needs and opportunities.
- The trust between consumers and business to share information in return for better services will lead to the emergence of an Economy of Internet Applications based on products being available without cash payment benefitting both parties.
- The growing trust of consumers to make payments for books, games and magazines over mobiles and tablets evolving into a total acceptance of cashless payments in traditional stores and retail outlets bringing the Zero Cash Society ever closer.
A digital world based on trust and mutually beneficial relationships will create the new services and business models needed to climb out of recession but will require careful brokering and management.

text: Yesterday one of my Twitter followers alerted me to the fact that the League of Women Voters Florida Chapter was visiting Cuba this week. While I had heard that they had indeed visited Cuba in the past, I figured it was a one-time thing they did as some sort of civics outreach project. I was wrong. So I decided to go ahead and dig a little deeper into their activities, and what I found was downright shocking and outrageous. Apparently, the League of Women Voters, which fancies itself a voting rights group, among other things, has organized multiple "delegation trips" to the Communist island since 2011 after Obama legalized so-called "person-to-person" travel. Traveling to Cuba under this system involves arrangements with U.S. and Cuban government-authorized operators and strict schedules of "educational" and "cultural" activities that are organized and led by Cuban government-approved tour guides. This is evident by the very videos, online brochures and other information that the League of Women Voters Florida has put out to promote these trips. A promo video released just three days ago by the League's official YouTube account includes pictures of beautiful Cuban scenery, happy natives, impressive old buildings (built before Castro, of course), classic cars (American, and before Castro, of course) various tourist spots, smiling children in communist pioneer uniforms, and several images glorifying Communist butcher Che Guevara. Missing were pictures of dilapidated buildings, gulags, empty grocery store shelves, beaten dissidents, ration cards and food lines. I guess the tour guides didn't take them to where the regular natives live. Oh, but the video does end with a web link to instructions on how to visit Cuba. Here's the promo video: Continue reading

Comment on: London PRS landlord fined thousands of pounds
For the sake of clarity, what CL is trying to say, the VSC of £15 is not an award to the tenant(s). it is a standard charge to all those found guilty of any non custodial sentence. Just a red herring in this case.
Comment on: British housing is 'cramped and poorly planned'
Affordable Housing in all its gusies where it attracts HCA funding, has to meet the required space standards, which are quite good. Not quite Parker Morris but still a world away from the private sale standards.
The issue here is what people are prepared to accept and buy. Developing is a demand lead industry, if poeple refused to buy the shoe boxes that are on sale then the developers would be left with no option that to build properties that people will buy.
*If I buy a flat with no storage, I can not complain when the vacum I later buy has no where to live.
My personal views are that all housing including private sale housing should have to meet the minimum standards for design, quality, space and sustainablility that affordable housing has to meet, including Lifetime Homes. However as the post above comments this will all cost money which will add to the cost od the end product.
Comment on: Council approves 2,000 home development
It would be good to see what the Councils standard affordable housing requirement is via S106. I believe the usual is around the 30% mark with London assuming a 50% level.
If this is the case it would be interesting to know how Ballymore's managed to negotiate their requirment down from 991 affordable homes under the Mayor's 50% requirement, or even from 595 being the average LA requirement of 30%. We should note that affordable includes 'social' rent, affordable rent and various forms of shared ownership.
I am sure the LA is getting its due level out of the S106 in other areas, but surely affordable housing (not affordable rent) should be given the highest priority.
Just a thought...

Tweaking the Mayor's Control of the Schools
Teachers union president Randi Weingarten now favors keeping the mayor in charge of the school system's Panel for Educational Policy (which replaced the old Board of Education). This is a significant, because Weingarten formerly supported a proposal that would have seriously weakened the mayor's role by giving him a minority of the panel members.
In an editorial today in the 'New York Post,' which has been unabashedly in favor of keeping the mayor in charge of the schools, Weingarten acknowledges her proposal to dilute Bloomberg's power was going nowhere. Senate Majority Leader Malcolm Smith and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver both want to keep Bloomberg in charge of the Panel. So, she writes, 'why not consider other possibilities?' to give the public more input through other channels.
Weingarten calls for giving the mayor's appointees to the panel fixed terms, so they can't be fired at will if they disagree with him (which happened in 2004 when some wanted to vote against his plan to stop promoting third graders who fail their state exams). And she asks legislators to bolster the community education councils. Parents on these councils complain they get little advance notice when schools close or new schools open.
Weingarten calls this Mayoral Control 2.0. But there are still some lawmakers shooting for more dramatic changes, or what you might call version 3.0. Brooklyn Senator Kevin Parker and Bronx Assemblyman Carl Heastie introduced a bill to take away the mayor's majority on the Panel, which they call a "rubber stamp" because it's controlled by Bloomberg. They also want more oversight of the Department of Education's budget and contracting.
The State Senate's Education Committee held a hearing on the matter today at Bronx Community College. Only two lawmakers attended: Pedro Espada, of the Bronx, and Education Committee chair Suzi Oppenheimer of Mamaroneck. As usual with these hearings, supporters and opponents of the current system packed the auditorium. Learn NY and churches from the Industrial Areas Foundation brought passionate school principals and parents who said mayoral control has led to higher test scores and more equity. Parents who oppose mayoral control also testified about how they feel alienated by the current system. At one point, members of the Campaign for Better Schools urged Oppenheimer and Espada to support the legislation introduced by Heastie and Parker to weaken Bloomberg's hand.
"We are seriously looking at much, much more public participation, much more transparency, much more checks and balances," Oppenheimer replied. She went on to mention possibly giving the Independent Budget Office some oversight. The parents from the Campaign for Better Schools seemed pleasantly surprised. But neither Oppenheimer or Espada would go as far as to support their legislation. Instead, Oppenheimer said lawmakers from the Assembly and Senate would get together and debate a number of bills next week and try to hammer out a consensus. Espada said he preferred to get something the Democratic majority could agree on without needing the help of Republicans. With a razor thin majority, Espada has become a powerbroker in the Senate. And he supports keeping the mayor in charge of the Panel with more checks and balances like the ones Weingarten mentioned in her editorial.
Looks like Weingarten saw the writing on the wall and decided to throw her union's support behind the most likely outcome. Or - as cynics might say - she supported the more extreme proposal as a bargaining chip.

On a slightly related point, on my last trip to the range, the guy in the station next to me had a NIB Taurus snubbie. Looked like the 817.
It was apparent that this was his first gun, and he got close to sweeping me a few times. Not so close I had to say something, but close enough I had to watch him. New shooters are prone to this sort of thing.

When Tom made the comment no it's not loaded but you treat every gun as if it is loaded,One point I'm gonna make is unless he actually inspected the firearm and it never left his sight,he is assuming it ain't loaded.

The chief executives of Harrods, Fortnum and Mason, Marks and Spencer and the Royal Albert Hall are among a group of prestige "consumer-facing" businesses who've written to Boris Johnson urging him to speed up and step up his marketing support for them as they struggle with the effects of the recession. The letter was co-ordinated by London First, which represents business interests in the capital. PR Week has seen it, and quotes London First's Jo Valentine remarking that, "We first raised this issue in December and hoped to have seen greater progress thus far."
Oh dear. London First haven't released the full text of the leaked letter, but confirmed that it urges the mayor to get his finger out, albeit not in so many words. The letter is supportive too, noting Boris's contribution to efforts to secure more government backing for Britain's tourism industry's wooing of the Euro and Dollar zones. Its impatience is with the mayor's attention to markets closer to home. A GLA campaign with these in mind is planned for April, but the letter's signatories fear it is going to be too little, too late. Discounts and deals are being offered everywhere, they point out: Boris should be urging Londoners and the good people of the Home Counties to take advantage of them right away.
There's a bit of history here. I'll be getting back to that.

Scaramouche HTML version
obscure, although the village of Gavrillac had long since dispelled
the cloud of mystery that hung about it. Those simple Brittany folk
were not so simple as to be deceived by a pret ended relationship
which did not even possess the virtue of originality. When a
nobleman, for no apparent reas on, announces himself the godfather of
an infant fetched no man knew whence, and thereafter cares for the
lad's rearing and education, the most unsophisticated of country
folk perfectly understand the situation. And so the good people of
Gavrillac permitted themselves no illusions on the score of the real
relationship between Andre-Louis Moreau - as the lad had been named
- and Quintin de Kercadiou, Lord of Gavrillac, who dwelt in the
big grey hous e that dominated from its eminence the village
clustering below.
Andre-Louis had learnt his letters at the village school, lodged
the while with old Rabouillet, the attorney, who in the capacity of
fiscal intendant, looked after the affairs of M. de Kercadiou.
Thereafter, at the age of fifteen, he had been packed off to Paris,
to the Lycee of Louis Le Grand, to study the law which he was now
returned to practise in conjunction with Rabouillet. All this at
the charges of his godfat her, M. de Kercadiou, who by placing him
once more under the tutelage of Rabouillet would seem thereby quite
clearly to be making provision for his future.
Andre-Louis, on his side, had made the most of his opportunities.
You behold him at the age of four -and-t wenty stuffed with learning
enough to produce an intellectual indigestion in an ordinary mind.
Out of his zestful study of Man, from Thucydides to the
Encyclopaedists, from Seneca to Rousseau, he had confirmed into an
unassailable conviction his earliest conscious impressions of the
general insanity of his own species. Nor can I discover that
anything in his eventful life ever afterwards caused him to waver
in that opinion.
In body he was a slight wisp of a fellow, scarcely above middle
height, with a lean, astute countenance, prominent of nos e and
cheek-bones, and with lank, black hair that reached almost to his
shoulders. His mouth was long, thin-lipped, and humorous. He was
only just redeemed from ugliness by the splendour of a pair of
ever-questing, luminous eyes, so dark as to be almost black. Of
the whimsical quality of his mind and his rare gift of graceful
expression, his writings - unfortunately but too scanty - and
particularly his Confessions, afford us very ample evidence. Of
his gift of oratory he was hardly conscious yet, although he had
already achieved a certain fame for it in the Literary Chamber of
Rennes - one of those clubs by now ubiquit ous in the land, in
which the int ellectual youth of France foregathered to study and
discuss the new philosophies that were permeating social life.
But the fame he had acquired there was hardly enviable. He was
too impish, too caustic, too much disposed - so thought his
colleagues - to ridicule their sublime theories for the regeneration
of mankind. himself he prot ested that he merely held them up to the
mirror of truth, and that it was not his fault if when reflected
there they looked ridiculous.
All that he achieved by this was to exasperate; and his expulsion
from a society grown mistrustful of him must already have followed
but for his friend, Philippe de Vilmorin, a divinity student of
Rennes, who, himself, was one of the most popular members of the

How to Peel Your Instax Film2013-06-03 5 37 Share Tweet
You know that neat, rough looking border you can get on your pack film photos when you peel them apart? You can get the same effect with your Instax photos! Here's how.
Recently, while scanning my pack film negatives I discovered that I really liked the borders that were left on the negatives.
This led me to wonder if you could somehow achieve the same look with your Instax Mini photos. After doing some research, I found out you can! I found a video showing this process, and I decided to create my own photo tutorial to accompany it for those who prefer photo tuts/text to videos. It's so easy to do, and you probably have all the materials at home already.
I used a photo I didn't care if I destroyed in the process (I was using it for the "deface a photo" page in my Wreck This Journal), so if you're doing this for the first time you might not want to use your favorite photo. That being said, this process is so simple, you'd be hard-pressed to damage anything too terribly.
Here's what you'll need
- Scissors and/or an X-acto knife
- An instax photo
- A self-healing cutting board (This one's optional, of course. It's just for protecting the surface you're working on.)
- Step One: Cut a tiny little strip off the top part (or the little side) of your photo.
- Step Two: Cut off a sliver of the bottom part (the larger section) of your photo.
- Step Three: Turn to the back of your photo and peel the little section on the bottom off.
- Step Four: Take your X-acto knife and start picking at the tiny black strips on both the left and right side of the picture. Your goal is to peel those black strips off.
- Step Five: Now separate the plastic from the image, and peel whatever is left of the black strips off.
- Step Six: Looking at the front of your photo, peel up the white border.
And you're done!
The result is a rough, black border at the top and bottom of your photo. I used double stick tape on the back of my photo to preserve the look of the border but you can use decorative tape, labels, or whatever floats your boat!

It appears southern areas and mid Ulster are the worst hit.
There have been hundreds of call-outs for pest controllers in the area stretching from Dungannon in County Tyrone to Newry in County Down.
They are so busy, callers are having to wait up to a week to have nests destroyed.
Pest control officers say they are being rushed off their feet - wiping them out.
Pest controller Francie Gilleece said: "We have been quite busy over the past number of weeks.
"In the last week we would have been attending to about 10 wasps' nests a day... we have seven calls in today so far."
Councils have been inundated with calls from homes and businesses across the west.
Robert Forde of Fermanagh District Council said: "Certainly this year, to date, we would have had more wasps' nests than we would have had for the whole of last year.
"We would still be expecting to have quite a few nests treated coming into the end of August and September."
There has also been an increase in the number of people needing hospital treatment for stings.
Dr Samuel McBride of the Erne Hospital said: "The worst we have had - not so much multiple stings - are people drinking soft drinks from cups and a wasp being in a cup and being stung on the tongue or the lip.
"They are in danger and they need to be admitted for observation and given appropriate drug treatment."

Another busy week has gone by and the weather allowed us to become a bit spoilt as we considered packing away the warmer clothes. A few very warm days really got the expectations up! However, the weather forecast this week ahead looks slightly greyer and moist despite finally having June on the door step.
Today it has started of cloudy with patchy rain at first, but the sun is out and looks to be leaving a mainly dry and bright day with more sunny spells developing. Winds remain fairly light.
Tonight it looks to be clouding over again with another band of rain moving in from the west this turning heavy over most of Argyll towards Monday morning. Winds coming from the southeast will also become stronger.
Monday: a cloudy start with outbreaks of rain these still heavy at times over Argyll. Becoming drier and brighter in the afternoon but with showers following on behind. Strong winds.
Tuesday: looks to be brighter than the Monday with some isolated showers.
Wednesday: will become cloudier than the start of the week with mainly light rain during the day.
Thursday: looks to be very much like Wednesday - generally cloudy with patchy rain throughout the day.
Friday: will be cloudy with patches of rain, and the sun will peak through during the day.
Saturday: will be ever so slightly warmer than the rest of the week but will continue to change between being cloudy with sun spells and light rain.
If you are coming up to stay with us at the hotel this week, Monday will be very windy, so bring warmer clothes, for the rest of the week you can use light protective wear and enjoy the nice views that the weather might bring about. The picture on the right was taken very recently, showing the beautiful views that the not so summery weather brings with it to the West Coast of Scotland.

all manga reviews >>
all manga features >>
all manga news >>
If there's a manga release bigger this week than Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon… you know, it's not even worth speculating. There isn't. Fans have been dying to get their hands on this series again, and Kodansha provides one heck of a product for 'em—uncut, unflipped and fitted with a fresh translation.
Those weaned on the TV series—and let's face it, that accounts for a huge chunk of today's anime fans—are in for a real treat with the manga. Reading it might even be a strange experience for some. At this point Sailor Moon has kind of transcended the notion that it all started with this humble little shojo comic, serialized from 1992-1997 and collected across 18 volumes, and a lot of that ultimately has to do with the fact that it's been out of print for so long in North America. I still remember the floppy releases hitting comic store shelves, but that seems like an eternity ago.
So this will no doubt be the first experience reading Takeuchi's work for a large portion of the population, and while it naturally has a lot in common with the Junichi Sato-directed anime adaptation it spawned, the manga is still a different beast. The pacing, for instance, is much more brisk, and a lot happens across the six acts featured in volume one. Over the course of about 240 pages, clumsy, chronically-late protagonist Usagi Tsukino stumbles into her predestined role as the guardian Sailor Moon, and meets three fellow guardians—Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars and Sailor Jupiter—meant to complete this harrowing quest alongside her.
That quest involves discovering the location of a mysterious princess, as well as finding the Legendary Silver Crystal before their adversaries can get their evil hands on it and send our world into ruin. It's a lot of responsibility for one girl to bear—especially when that girl happens to be more interested in spending her time at a local game center and choosing between a couple potential love interests.
One of those could-be romances comes in the form of the blunt, occasionally downright rude Mamoru Chiba, a tall-dark-and-handsome who moonlights as the enigmatic Tuxedo Mask. Usagi definitely has a Clark Kent/Superman crush on him from the get-go, but she's also kinda into that bro at the game center, so what's a girl to do?
Takeuchi's style of storytelling is really playful, so it's clear early on why Sailor Moon became such a huge phenomenon. It's classic shojo manga—almost every panel is loaded with flowery adornments that serve no other purpose than to make the page that much prettier. Her characters, especially Usagi, have very distinct personalities, and most don't hesitate to let their thoughts be known, if not to everyone else, then at least to the reader.
Kodansha's release of Sailor Moon is a great overall package, and even the most hardened Sailor scholar should find very little to complain about. Complete with translation notes and a brief preview of volume two, well, odds are anyone reading up to this point either already has it, has plans to pick it up, or they left their computer spinning in a mad, Tasmanian Devil dash to the nearest comic shop. You won't be disappointed.

You never saw Craig R. Barrett sweat. Three years ago, when Intel (INTC ) Corp. began pouring some $28 billion into new plant construction and research, the CEO had no idea when the semiconductor industry's longest slump would end. Weak demand could have meant doom as many of those new factories began ramping up production. But Barrett plowed ahead. "The only question was when overall business would begin to pick up. A three-year recession in our industry is about two times longer than the worst that I can remember," he says.
Turns out the 64-year-old Barrett put his chips in the right place. Intel is working hard to satisfy booming demand for its Centrino notebook package, which includes the Pentium M processor and a Wi-Fi chip. Barrett's push to build highly efficient factories means that Intel can churn out chips at costs way below those of competitors. Intel is enjoying juicy 62% gross margins. Earnings jumped about 60% in 2003, to $5.4 billion.
Just 18 months before Barrett is expected to step down as CEO, he has become his industry's Master and Commander. Intel is truly global, earning about 70% of revenues outside America. After expanding into graphics chips, motherboards, and other PC-related fields, it plans to incorporate wireless routers directly into desktop computers. Intel is also pushing into consumer electronics, set-top boxes, and cell phones. Barrett wants to go out with a bang.
Key Accomplishments
-- Boosted corporate PC sales with initiative to convince companies of the productivity gains from upgrading.
-- Company became the first to manufacture chips at line sizes of 65 nanometers, just a fraction of the width of a human hair.

Just in passing, the economic loss to Queensland from flooded mines and damaged infrastucture is expected to be more than $500 million. The biggest environmental consequences are ocurring off Burnett Heads adjacent to the Mon Repos turtle rookery and the Great Barrier Reef just 85km offshore (Lady Elliot Island one of only three tourist islands on GBR).

Re: How to force numeric output
If you captitalize the functions ***AND*** remove the point after the
x everything should work fine. No need for Assuming or whatsoever.
What you are refering to as a similar problem has absolutely nothing
to do with your case.

I'm running out of ideas here....
So last summer when it got real hot I started to smell a raw gas inside of the car, it came and went and i was never really able to pinpoint it. I'm sure most of us are well aware of the faulty fuel line located under the intake manifold, considering my stock fuel rails have been gone a long time and this problem usually appears when it is cold not hot that can be ruled out. Once the weather cooled down the problem disappeared.
Now at the beginning of this summer the smell started coming back this time i started throwing a "loose gas cap code" the exact code number escapes me right now, so i check the gas cap, it's fine, ECU reset. a few days later bam! it pops again. So one day after filling up I get back in the car and it smells heavy of gas, i open the trunk and that is where it was the strongest. I get home pull the fuel pump, replace the gasket between the cover and the gas tank, pull off the charcoal box inspect that check all the Evap hoses under the car and everything checks out. Put it all back together and the smell is still coming and going. I plug my netbook into my car and also notice that my adv. Dyn. is dipping in and out of the negatives (light knocking?) Son of a......! Fuel pressure leak = tune thrown out of wack?
Basically I'm running out of ideas here, A smog shop could pressure test my tank but that will only tell me what i already know. Smoke test? Anyone know if it has to be a specialty shop that does that? Any other ideas short of dropping the whole tank and removing all hoses? My car is slowly dying while I sit here stumped.
P.S. Why and when did my post count reset to 4? WTF?

Sometimes these techniques can be used instead of surgery. X-rays and other imaging tests, like ultrasound, can help doctors see inside the body. When small tools, such as tubes and wires, are used with imaging exams, some conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. It may take only a few small cuts to reach areas inside the body that need treatment or repair. Often, no cuts are needed at all. That can mean a shorter stay in the hospital and faster recovery.
The interventional radiology clinic is where you or your child will meet the interventional radiologist and discuss your situation in detail. Care is provided in the clinic before and after your procedure. Depending on your needs, your child's images are reviewed, your child will be examined or will have an ultrasound performed, all in one visit. You also can discuss and arrange treatment at this time.

'Pretty Little Liars' Exclusive: Tyler Blackburn On Tonight's Shower Scene, Plus Caleb & Hanna's Future!
Tyler says Hanna & Caleb are 'both happy' being friends with benefits. What do YOU think of this budding couple?
I hope you all like Caleb (Tyler Blackburn) on Pretty Little Liars, because you're about to see a lot more of him — literally. Tonight's episode features a steamy (pardon the pun) shower scene between a fully-clothed Hanna (Ashley Benson) and her not-so-clothed secret house guest. So will Caleb get his eye-full of Hanna anytime soon? "Maybe eventually…" Tyler teases to HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "Kind of a 'You show me yours, I'll show you mine' kind of deal."
And who better than Tyler, himself, to explain what makes Hanna and Caleb (Haleb?) work so well:
- Lindsey Shaw on the future for Paige & Emily. Click to read!
- Chad Lowe on the Ezra, Aria, Ella love triangle. Click to read!
- Ian Harding on Aria & Ezra's "other-wordly" connection. Click to read!
- Chuck Hittinger on Sean & Hanna's "roller coaster" relationship: Click to read!
"Caleb has a hard exterior, but he's a good guy," Tyler tells us. "Hanna has qualities that caleb has. They're witty and can keep up with each other, and that keeps it exciting. Plus, there's this mystery between them. Even though he's now living in her basement, they still don't know each other that well. It's an unspoken thing. They want to know more about each other, but there's still tension. Whether that's sexual tension, or whatever, it's there. It's refreshing for her and Caleb."
But don't expect Hanna and Caleb to put a label on their relationship anytime soon.
"It just is what it is," Tyler says. "They're both happy, I can tell you that. They don't have a real label — not yet, anyway."
You also shouldn't keep hoping for a glimpse into Caleb's bedroom. And by "bedroom" I mean the one crappy couch in the Marins' basement.
"You never get to see my dwelling. It sucks. But at the Marins' house, it's probably a really nice couch."
OK, now let's get back to discussing that shower scene. Tyler swears he's never done something like that with 50 people watching (I guess I believe him) but he did enjoy it.
"Ashley made it so fun; we were cracking up," he says. "The water kept going from freezing cold to burning hot. And it was a 1 a.m. shoot, so we were pretty slap-happy. [Ashley] and I both are a little like our characters, in that we have a little of that witty playfulness. We get a long and have good chemistry because we can keep up with each other."
As for whether or not Caleb will help the girls crack the big "A" mystery, Tyler says he definitely will — even if he isn't aware he's doing it.
"He's kind of unknowing as to all of that, so anything that's asked of him is done on the fly. There's a little bit, but he never really understands."

The Old Colony Mennonite congregation in Moorefield, ON began services at this location in 1991. The first building was occupied in 1991. The congregation originated through immigration from Mexico.
