NASA's Phoenix spacecraft successfully touched down on the surface of Mars Sunday night, the first time in 32 years that the space agency has landed a probe on the Red Planet using retrorockets.
GALLERY: This week in space
Jubilant officials at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, Calif., burst into cheers when Phoenix's radio signal came in as scheduled at 7:53 p.m. ET, indicating that the $457 million lander is in position near Mar's northern polar cap.
About two hours later, the mission controllers got word that the craft's solar arrays had successfully deployed. The twin 6-foot circular disks are the power source. If they hadn't deployed, Phoenix would only have had about three hours of battery power.
And immediately after that, images began to arrive — the scientists' best-case scenario. "What we're looking at is a surface of Mars that we've never seen before," said Dan McCleese, JPL's chief scientist. The "crystal clear" images showed a flat surface with very few rocks.
The images released at a midnight press conference looked much like illustrations of the surface prepared by NASA, the brown terrain dotted with troughs and small rocks.
"I know it looks like a parking lot, but that's a safe place to land, by gosh," joked Peter Smith, Phoenix's principal investigator, at the press briefing. Smith, a planetary sciences professor at the University of Arizona, proposed and helped develop the mission.
"This was just perfect. It didn't seem real," said Smith. "I'm on Cloud 9."
JPL's Barry Goldstein, the project manager, noted that one image shows that the planet surface was not greatly damaged by the rocket thrusters. Edward Sedivy, Phoenix program manager at Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, which built the probe, described the landing as fairly gentle at 5 mph.
Sedivy said the priority for the next few days will be assessing the craft's power requirements and regeneration. He said the team must see how much power the lander needs at night and how quickly the solar arrays are able to recharge the batteries during the day.
NASA administrator Michael Griffin and Ed Weiler, NASA's associate administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, praised the precise execution achieved by the mission team at the gathering of an international corps of reporters.
"If I did my math right, doing something like this is like trying to hit a hole-in-one if you're tee-ing off in Washington, D.C., and the hole is in Sydney, Australia," said Weiler.
Earlier, Robert Shotwell, the mission's project systems engineer, described the landing as "almost exactly perfect — flat and aligned where we wanted it to be."
He said the parachute deployed seven seconds later than anticipated, which had a "slight" effect on the landing site. Otherwise, he said, "Everything looked as good as could possibly be expected. Everyone is thrilled."
"As icing on the cake, we've found that the lander is tilted only one quarter of a degree, which means we've landed nearly perfectly level," blogged Brent Shockley on NASA's Phoenix website (www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix).
"Engineers in Mission Control are saying that our actual landing went far smoother than any simulation or test that was ever done," said Shockley, the mission's configuration and information management Engineer.
It takes 15 minutes for Phoenix's radio signal to reach Earth, which meant a long, suspenseful wait in the home stretch for members of the mission staff assembled in the JPL's mission control room.
As the mission team awaited word of the craft's fate, the early stages of its entry into the Martian atmosphere appeared to go well. As the news arrived that each challenge had been met — that the cruise-stage hardware had been jettisoned and the craft had pivoted to turn its heat shield towards the planet's surface; that the parachute had deployed and the radar had been activated — the control room filled with applause.
This happy ending to Phoenix's 423-million-mile, nine-month journey was far from a safe bet. Of the 11 missions that have tried to land probes on Mars since 1971 — by the United States, Russia and Great Britain — only five have succeeded.
Adding to the risk of failure is the fact that every successful Mars landing since 1976 has involved huge air bags that let the craft bounce to a soft landing. But the air bags don't allow for precise landings and NASA scientists want to hit the targeted landing site.
So Phoenix was equipped with retrograde rockets, set to fire less than a minute before touchdown to decelerate the craft. The last mission to land this way was the Viking 2 lander, on Sept. 3, 1976. A later mission, the Mars Polar Lander, was using retro rockets when it crashed in 1999.
And there was another danger: rocks.
Phoenix has three legs. If one of them had come down on a large rock, the craft could have been knocked over or become unstable, ending the mission. NASA surveyed the 60-by-12-mile landing area by satellite, looking for spots with as few rocks as possible.
There were six "trajectory correction maneuvers" (carefully calculated rocket blasts) planned for Phoenix but not all proved necessary. A May 17 maneuver, when the craft was 6 million miles from Mars, was just a nudge, moving the landing point 11 miles to a slightly better location.
Early Sunday, mission controllers decided there was no need to use their last chance to tweak the flight path, leaving them with nothing to do but wait for Phoenix to carry out the landing on its own.
The lander is beaming back images of a Martian landscape never before seen by humans — one near the north polar cap, where scientists believe there is abundant water, if frozen and buried.
Finding evidence of water has long been the goal of NASA's Mars program. Water is essential to all known life. The Mars missions are aimed at giving scientists more information about where, when and in what form water existed there.
The Phoenix lander is designed to collect and examine ice and rock samples for evidence of microscopic life. NASA scientists hope that if a rudimentary form of life existed there millions of years ago, traces of it might remain.
There's a reason this Mars mission is named Phoenix, after the mythical bird that rises from the ashes of its own funeral pyre. The spacecraft originally was scheduled to launch in 2001 as the Mars Surveyor, but it was grounded because of the Mars Polar Lander crash.
Phoenix's equipment includes a robotic arm that will dig up soil samples and a portable laboratory that will test the soil. The Martian soil is expected to be a frozen matrix of rocks, gravel, sand and ice as hard as concrete.
The samples will be viewed by an onboard microscope, and high-resolution images will be beamed to scientists on Earth.
Phoenix also is a weather station with a mast that will rise 4 feet, allowing scientists to calculate the extent of water vapor and cloud cover.
Phoenix isn't alone on Mars. NASA has had the golf cart-sized rovers, mobile geology labs called Spirit and Opportunity, on the surface since January 2004. Overhead are the Mars Odyssey, which began its orbit on Oct. 24, 2001, and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which reached Mars in March 2006. The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter also has been circling the planet since 2003.
The orbiters will be playing a key role in this mission, assisting in the transmission of data from Phoenix and capturing images of the 904-pound craft on the planet's surface
The mission is being led by scientists at the University of Arizona. When NASA put out a call in 2002 for Mars mission proposals, the one chosen came from Smith, who proposed using the mothballed Surveyor.
Smith's team designed the science experiments and worked with JPL and Lockheed Martin to recondition the spacecraft, which launched on Aug. 4, 2007 from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
About two days after the landing, the mission's center of operations is scheduled to shift to the University of Arizona's Science Operations Center in Tucson.
The mission is expected to last 90 days. In three months, winter will come to the Martian north pole and the sun won't rise again for 100 days. The solar-powered craft is not expected to survive the frigid temperature.

Mumbai, Mar 30: In a move to ensure safety of dance bar girls, Maharashtra Government in its new draft dance bar regulation bill has proposed some stringent measures.
The draft has proposed that making indecent behaviour, touching, showering money or coins on dancers will be a punishable offence.
As per reports, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, decided in a meeting at Vidhan Bhavan that such an act would be considered a cognisable and non-bailable offence. A provision for six-months imprisonment and/or a penalty of Rs 50,000 would be imposed on offenders.
(Maha govt to bring in legislation against dance bars: Fadnavis)
According to the Government's draft, all dance bars will be allowed to stay open only till 11:30 pm and violators will be liable to imprisonment up to 5 years and a fine of up to Rs 25 lakh.
The dance bars are bound to install CCTV cameras both inside and outside the bar.
Earlier on March 16, in the wake of Supreme Court order on resumption of dance bars in Maharashtra, the state government granted licences to owners of four such bars.
The licences were granted the other day in view of the recent apex court order directing the state government to issue licences to dance bars, complying with the modified conditions.
The Supreme Court had on March 2 rejected certain suggestions like providing live CCTV footage to police of performances in the dance bars and asked the state government to grant licences to owners within 10 days after they comply with the modified guidelines.
The state government had in 2005 banned dance bars in Mumbai and elsewhere in Maharashtra. Nearly 1500 bars across the state had employed more than 75,000 women dancers.

The Medical College of Wisconsin and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Research Institute received a two-year, $150,000 award from the National Institutes of Health's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The award will fund an investigation into the use of a compound to protect the lungs of newborns against damage from exposure to excessive levels of oxygen.
Ru-Jeng Teng, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics in the division of neonatology and a researcher at the Research Institute, is the principal investigator for the grant. Dr. Teng also is a neonatologist at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin.
Newborn babies, particularly those born prematurely, who are put on breathing machines and receive high levels of oxygen, are likely to develop a condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD can impair the proper growth of blood vessels and cells in the lung. Babies with BPD are susceptible to lung infection and can develop chronic damage to lung tissue.
Dr. Teng will explore the use of a compound, tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), in rats, to evaluate its efficacy in protecting premature lungs from this type of lung injury. The results may lead to the use of a BH4 substitute in treating bronchopulmonary dysplasia.

I still have significant swelling and redness of my lower right breast, which is visbly larger, 8 weeks postop. Additionally, my right nipple is a cm higher than the left. the nipples in general are mismatched in shape and point in different directions. My PS discussed a possible correction @ 3 months when I saw him 4 weeks ago, I see him again next week. Does the cause of the swelling need to be investigated first (cysts)? when should a revision take place? Can the nipples be improved?
Persistent Assymetry 8 Weeks After Breast Reduction on Cystic Breasts - when is Revision Advisable?
Doctor Answers 4
Breast reduction asymmetry can be corrected.
Wait another three months and then consider a revision. Get another consultation. Redness needs to be investigated.
Would wait at least six months after breast reduction for revision.
Because of the nipple asymmetry it sounds as though you are facing a revision. I would even consider before six months and possibly as long as a year to allow for final resolution of swelling in the asymmetries associated with that.

Breast asymmetry
Without knowing what you looked like before or after surgery, it is very hard to answer. If you are unhappy and you surgeon feels modifications to improve the asymmetry can be done, then it is best to wait several months to heal first.

It is important that you allow the breast tissue and surgical scars ample time to mature before considering any revision surgery; your breast will continue to evolve in shape for months after a breast reduction surgery. It is important that you discuss all of your concerns with you plastic surgeon at your next follow up visit.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Father lived in another state.I don't think wife had a will.
Not sure exactly who is who in your question but, generally, if you are named in a persons Will and you survive that person then you are entitled to your inheritance. Someone may have to open an estate on your behalf to receive the funds and then distribute the funds to your heirs.
I think that answers your question.
Legal Disclaimer: Paul A. Smolinski is licensed to practice law in the State of Illinois only, and as such, his answers to AVVO inquiries are based on his understanding of Illinois law only. His answers are for general information about perceived legal issues within this question only and no response to any posted inquiry should be deemed to extend any right of confidentiality between you and Mr. Smolinski, to constitute legal advice, or create an attorney/client or other contractual relationship.

We try to insure the accuracy of this information, but we cannot guarantee its accuracy. The reader should never assume that this information applies to his or her specific situation or constitutes legal advice. Therefore, please consult competent counsel that practices in the subject area in your jurisdiction and who is familiar with your specific facts and all of the circumstances.Ask a similar question
I take back my answer. As I read your question again I misunderstood. If dad had a Will then his Will should state who is entitled to his estate if his daughter predeceased him. If dad did not have a Will then his estate passes under the laws of the state in which he resided. Generally, if he is not married and now his daughter passes, it would go to her children, if any. If no children, then to dad's brothers and sisters and or nieces and nephews. That's better, I think!
It depends on the terms of the father's Will and the laws of the state where the father resided. Generally, however, for a person to take under a Will or the laws of intestacy (without a Will) that person must survive the decedent. It is unlikely, therefore, that you would inherit property from your wife's father through her, although you could inherit directly if named as a beneficiary. It is more probable, though not definite, that your wife's children would inherit through her. Bottom line – you need an attorney to review the Will and to obtain a few facts from you to answer this question.
I am licensed in California only and my answers on Avvo assume California law. Answers provided by me are for general information only. They are not legal advice. Answers must not be relied upon. Legal advice must be based on the interplay between specific exact facts and the law. This forum does not allow for the discussion of that interplay. My answer to any specific question would likely be different if that interplay were explored during an attorney-client relationship. I provide legal advice during the course of an attorney-client relationship only. The exchange of information through this forum does not establish such a relationship. That relationship is established only by personal and direct consultation with me followed by the execution of a written attorney-client agreement signed by each of us. The communications on this website are not privileged or confidential and I assume no duty to anyone by my participation on Avvo or because I have answered or commented on a question. All legal proceedings involve deadlines and time limiting statutes. So that legal rights are not lost for failure to timely take appropriate action and because I do not provide legal advice in answer to any question, if you are an interested party you should promptly and personally consult with an attorney for legal advice. Also, see Avvo's terms and conditions of use, specifically item 9, incorporated by this referenceAsk a similar question
The father's will controls. It depends on what it says. If everyone named in the will is deceased, the laws of intestacy likely control. That would be family of the father, parents, siblings, nieces and nephews, etc. Unless you were named in the will, since you are not a direct relative, you will not inherit.Ask a similar question
As noted, it depends on her Fathers will. Most wills include a condition that would say "I give to Wife, if she survives me, [property]. If she fails to survive me, the gift to her shall lapse and the property will go to ....." You need to see the will to determine what is provided. If the will does not say, then you may have an intestacy.
The response to this question does NOT create an attorney client relationship and is an effort to provide a gratuitous general response without ability to determine accurate facts. An attorney client relationship can be implemented only be a formal engagement letter accepting representation. Do not rely on the response provided herein as advice to you.Ask a similar question
If there are no other named beneficiaries in father's will, the laws of intestacy of the state where the father died will control. Without knowing more, including the father's state of residence, its too hard to tell or advise you.

When we split up I left the Gym quickly..... not quickly enough to excape Alec. "Wait up!" He shouts running up to walk next to me.
My steps are short but quick and his long ones match my speed. "Go away, I dont want to be seen with you it brings me nothing but trouble" I hiss glaring at him.
He shrugs. "I don't get why you hate me Fey?" He says looking across at me.
"Well, besides from the fact that everyone seems to think that me being the other Natural makes us suddenly a couple and that every girl in this school seems to hate me for that, I dont hate you for anything" I turn and glare at him so he gets the point.
Alec looks at me eyebrows raised. "Would that be a bad thing if the tradition of Natural's staying in there pairs continued?" he asks and his attitude is serious.
I look away blushing and I hear him sigh. "I have to go and sort something out. Ronnie is a good fighter but she needs more training and I think I know the right person" He says.
"I really thought she was going to beat you at first. I was looking forward to it" I say pouting.
Alec laughs. "Maybe one day even though back there I wasnt fighting at my top level..... but its very rude to beat a girl to bad"
"Its rude to beat a girl at all but you still seem to be doing it" I say. He smiles.
"Not in the real world. I need to go and talk to this trainer about Ronnie.... But I'll make sure to see you at dinner"
Before I can protest he takes my hand and kisses the knuckle lightly. I yank it away. "You're a jerk" I hiss.
"I'm not trying to annoy you Fey, I'm being quite seirous" With that he walks off down the hall leaving me shocked and annoyed.
I wander around for a while finding myself thinking about Alec. Later on I find Larissa a few minute before lunch. We have a small discussion about the tension between me and Alec which makes me think about him again.
Uh, why the hell am I thinking about him anyway?

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Suba International Mumbai (Bombay)
Clearly this isn't usually somewhere a backpacker would stay but my partner treated us to it for her last night in India. It's really convenient for the airport too and they offer a free shuttle service. The staff are lovely and polite, breakfast was included and fantastic. WiFi is free and is worked well. The room was lovely and clean. The lights are controlled by iPod which is awesome. The only complaint I would have is that we clearly booked a double room, it stated double room in writing on our booking, and they put us in a twin. Unfortunately, we're a lesbian couple so it's not like we could kick up a fuss :/
Oh, and I only put this in because it amused us... We ordered the cheese platter off the room service and were delivered 10 slices of still-wrapped processed cheese. Classic :)

Manic Mumbai
Arriving in mumbai following a night flight and so far the best food on the plane giving us good hope for the Indian Cuisine.
We were then met by our lovely taxi drivers, which actually happened to be 'helpful' porters that lied and just wanted a tip for showing us where the taxi was - without even carrying our bags! We soon sent them off and went on the craziest drive ever ito central Mumbai. 90 minutes and costing 6.50 - bargain!

It's on the third floor of a kind of modern tenement building and none of its windows overlook the harbour but it's location is perfect. It's like an Indian version of Travel Lodge. Tiny but spotless, rooms with soft beds and fluffy pillows. It's bliss.

Inhibition of acetyl cholinesterase by solanaceous glycoalkaloids and alkaloids

Seven solanaceous glycoalkaloids (α-chaconine, β2-chaconine, α-solanine, dehydrocommersonine, commersonine, demissine and tomatine) and three alkaloids (solanidine, tomatidine and demissidine) were tested for their ability to inhibit acetyl cholinesterase in anin vitro system. Glycoalkaloids at concentrations of 33–41 parts per million (ppm) gave cholinesterase inhibition ranging from 4.2 to 26.8%. All three alkaloids had lower anticholinesterase (4.2 to 15.4%) than the seven glycoalkaloids, except for tomatine. Two well-known cholinesterase inhibitors, carbaryl, a carbamate insecticide and Guthion, an organophosphate insecticide, were also tested for comparison. It required only 1 to 2 ppm of the insecticides to give the same average percent inhibition as was observed with the glycoalkaloids at concentrations of 33–35 ppm.

The Central Asia Prospect Kyrgyzstan Macroeconomic Indicators Show Steadiness
For Further Information:
Gary Roseman / groseman@
For Release 5:30 PM EDT, April 16, 2014
St. Simons Island, GA - Data from Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Economics and from its National Bank (central bank) continue to show a macroeconomic environment that is positive for investors.
The four variables used to calculate the Central Asia Prospect Index of Kyrgyzstan Macroeconomic Indicators (CAP KMI Index) are 1.) monthly GDP growth rate, 2.) changes in deposits at commercial banks, 3.) changes in international reserves at the National Bank (central bank), and 4.) the stability of the som/dollar exchange rate. A composite of these variables showed an improving business environment in Kyrgyzstan at their latest readings, which for April 2014 come from February 2014. The current reading of the Index is 111.0, down from 111.7 in March (October 2013 = 100). One variable – GDP growth – positively affected the Index and the other three had slight negative effects.
The February 2014 GDP growth rate continued to accelerate, according to the Ministry of Economics. Major contributions to growth come from continued construction growth and strong industrial production, with the service sector also growing.
Deposits at commercial banks in the country in February dropped slightly from the levels in January 2014, but both foreign currency and domestic currency deposits were still higher than in February of last year, with deposits in the national currency, the som, up 26.55% and those in foreign currency up 44.80% from their levels on February 2013, for an increase in aggregate deposits of 35.50% over the level a year ago. Deposits in February 2014 were 0.5% lower than the level reported in January 2014, slightly negatively impacting the Index. This small decrease of a half percent does not reflect a lack of confidence in the banking system but is a reaction to the recent devaluation of the currency of the largest economy in Central Asia, the Kazakh tenge. Indeed, confidence in the banking system is evident in the increased share of time deposits as a share of total deposits, even though a smaller percentage of these time deposits had maturities of three years or greater than in January 2014.
International reserves of $2.096 billion at the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic at the end of February 2014 were 8.44%% higher than in the previous February but 1.17% lower than in the previous month, January 2014, following a previously observed seasonal pattern of reduced reserves in the winter months. The central bank's reserves amount to a large percentage of the country's level of imports and remain nearly four times that year's estimated current account deficit.
For the month of February 2014, the exchange rate of the som was slightly lower against the dollar, trading at an average of 51.42 soms to the US dollar (1 som = 1.945 US cents) for the month, compared to 49.87 soms (1 som = 2.005 US cents) for January 2014, with a standard deviation in February of soms per dollar of 0.6446 som. This level of volatility negatively impacted the Index. The devaluation of the tenge in neighboring Kazakhstan in February, and the recent changes in currency markets around the world in expectation of the US Federal Reserve's actions affected the som's exchange rate and its volatility. This reduction in value is not a cause for concern, given that it is not unique to Kyrgyzstan and the Kyrgyz central bank still has a strong reserve position.
CAP KMI Index
Overall, the CAP KMI Index suggests a continued positive outlook for business conditions in Kyrgyzstan.

I had a good season personally but I know there are things I can work on.
On playing inside some:
I can play pretty much both. It doesn't matter to me. Being inside, I played it my sophomore season. It's a little pressure but I'll be ready. It's something they suggested.
On spring starting:
Overall, the feeling is great. I've been here four years now. Young guys, I take them under my wing. When I came in, Sean (Spence) took me under his wing and now I'm trying to do the same.
On Raphael Kirby:
When he first came in, I took him under me. Now he knows the playbook. Last year was motivation for him to get on the field more. As long as he shows he can be on the field there should be no problem.
On the first 2 practices:
The first days guys are flying around. Guys will jump around and make tackles. It was fun, got the little rush out the way.
On Dallas Crawford moving to safety:
The first thing he told me was that you can't hit me anymore. Overall, he played it in high school so he'll be good.

Polanski questioned over U.S. extradition request: prosecutors
By Wojciech Zurawski
KRAKOW, Poland (Reuters) - Polish prosecutors questioned filmmaker Roman Polanski on Wednesday following a U.S. request for his extradition over a 1977 child sex crime conviction, a spokeswoman said.
Boguslawa Marcinkowska said Polanski was questioned in Krakow where he is making a film.
"In the near future we are planning to forward the (extradition) request to a court."
Polanski was born to Polish parents but lives in France.
Now 81, he is viewed by many Poles as one of their greatest living cultural figures. Internationally renowned for such films as "Chinatown" and "The Pianist", Polanski is now in Poland to make a film about the Dreyfus affair, a political scandal that shook France more than a century ago.
Polanski has said he will co-operate with Polish authorities; but a source familiar with the matter said he would fight any extradition proceedings.
According to Polish law, if the court decides that the U.S. request should proceed further, the justice minister will then make the decision on whether to extradite Polanski.
The filmmaker pleaded guilty in 1977 to having unlawful sex with 13-year-old Samantha Geimer during a photoshoot in Los Angeles, fueled by champagne and drugs. Continued...

Functional analysis of disease-causing mutations in human galactokinase
Enzymes: galactokinase (EC 220.127.116.11).
R. J. Reece, School of Biological Sciences, University of Manchester, 2.205 Stopford Building, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PT. United Kingdom. Fax: + 44 161 275 5317, Tel.: + 44 161 275 5317, E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Galactokinase (EC 126.96.36.199) catalyzes the first committed step in the catabolism of galactose. The sugar is phosphorylated at position 1 at the expense of ATP. Lack of fully functional galactokinase is one cause of the inherited disease galactosemia, the main clinical manifestation of which is early onset cataracts. Human galactokinase (GALK1) was expressed in and purified from Escherichia coli. The recombinant enzyme was both soluble and active. Product inhibition studies showed that the most likely kinetic mechanism of the enzyme was an ordered ternary complex one in which ATP is the first substrate to bind. The lack of a solvent kinetic isotope effect suggests that proton transfer is unlikely to be involved in the rate determining step of catalysis. Ten mutations that are known to cause galactosemia were constructed and expressed in E. coli. Of these, five (P28T, V32M, G36R, T288M and A384P) were insoluble following induction and could not be studied further. Four of the remainder (H44Y, R68C, G346S and G349S) were all less active than the wild-type enzyme. One mutant (A198V) had kinetic properties that were essentially wild-type. These results are discussed both in terms of galactokinase structure-function relationships and how these functional changes may relate to the causes of galactosemia.

Voice Of The Beehive
Adding guitarist Mike Jones as well as Madness alumni Mark Bedford on bass and Daniel Woodgate on drums, the band recorded its initial demos, releasing their first singles "Just a City," "I Say Nothing" and "I Walk the Earth" and earning favorable comparisons to Blondie and the Bangles. After Bedford exited to form Butterfield 8, Voice of the Beehive recruited Martin Brett to record their debut Let It Bee, which scored U.K. hits with "Don't Call Me Baby" and "The Man in the Moon." 1991's Honey Lingers also proved successful, notching the hits "Monsters and Angels," "I Think I Love You" and "Perfect Place."
A long hiatus followed, however, as the band began to fragment; soon, only the Belland sisters remained, and Voice of the Beehive was dropped by its label. After a series of personal traumas, they returned to California to begin writing new material, resurfacing in 1996 with the cathartic Sex & Misery (original title: Disastrous Relationships, Disillusionment, Depression & Death). The album's first single, "Scary Kisses," earned Voice of the Beehive their biggest American hit to date. ~ Jason Ankeny

J Keats read by Classic Poetry Aloud: http://www.classicpoetryaloud.com/ Giving voice to the poetry of the past. --------------------------------------------------- On first looking into Chapman's Homer by John Keats (1795 – 1821) Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-brow'd Homer ruled as his demesne; Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific—and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise— Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

The Holmes Inspection: Everything You Need To Know Before You Buy Or Sell Your Home : Canada's most trusted contractor offers his expertise and passion for excellence to anyone with plans to sell or buy a home. In The Holmes Inspection, Mike shows us how to sell smart and buy smart so there'll be no surprises when it comes to the single largest investment most of us will ever make. Homebuyers today are in a bind. Before signing on the dotted line and handing over their hard-earned cash, they need advice about the product itself: the house they've got their eye on. But to get that good advice, says Holmes, it often takes more than a single call to a "professional" home inspector. He tells readers what a home inspector can and can't do, and what options are open to prospective homebuyers who need to know what they're getting. Holmes deconstructs the often mystifying and downright scary process of buying and selling a house, walking readers through, into and around the average house so they can see past the tasteful, neutral decorating scheme. Using real case studies, "red flag" sidebars and hundreds of photographs, The Holmes Inspection shows readers how to spot problems that could be expensive or even catastrophic, giving them the information they need to judge a house wisely. From the mechanicals (furnace, electrical and plumbing) to the "envelope" (floors, walls, doors and windows) to issues of location and siting, this book alerts readers to the ugly realities behind the "lipstick and mascara" that many vendors use to cover up problems when selling their homes.

The House
The slums on the south side of the river were called the House, not be the authorities, but by the people that lived there. The authorities refused to believe that anything even existed to the south of the river, and they only ventured into the House when they absolutely had to.
It was named as such because of the way people lived there - as one big family. Of course there were opposing parts of the entire area, but for the most part, people worked together, and wherever you went, it felt as though you were home.
As Nero jogged, slowly drying as their air rushed past him, he looked around for the familiar areas of the House: the large pillar of smoke from the permanent bonfire that people just loaded with things they didn't want and let burn; the structure that stood at two levels tall, higher than anything else in the area; and the masses of gangsters that hung around outside a building that was built primarily underground, where they could hide out in relative safety from any enemies that may have had.
Nero had run afoul of several of these different gangs that roamed the House, but none as eager for his blood as Fraser was. He hoped that the police force in the city would hold him and a few of his gang there for as long as possible - Nero relished the safety.

The Hole
"Erm... apparently... she's here..." Gary says looking around the spot they are around the trees.
"What do you mean?" Karen asks frustrated.
"It stops here"
"She might......" they all look towards the ground. "Be under the ground" Gary leans towards the ground... he pulls some of the ground away, and the group of them are looking down at the girl. "Got her" Karen smiles. She flies up.
"No!" she screams. The guards grab her, pin her wings behind her back so that she is unable to fly, pin her to the ground, and shoot her in the neck with a tranquiliser gun. Karen watches in glee. She has the girl. Back in her hands. And this time, she won't escape.
"She's mine again, great work Gary, the drinks are on me tonight" Karen says and pats him on the shoulder.
"All in a good days work Karen" he smiles. The girl is placed onto a stretcher board. She is tied to it and they walk back to the helicopter. Karen smiles to herself again, knowing that she has the girl back.

New Words Added To Dictionary
BBC NEWS - Yolo, an acronym for 'you only live once', is among the latest new words added to the Oxford online dictionary.
The phrase, along with 'adorbs' - meaning cute or adorable, and 'binge-watch' - which means to avidly watch something - has been added to oxforddictionaries.com.
The website is a catalogue of current definitions of English words as they are used today.
Other new inclusions include "tech-savvy" and "clickbait".
The words have been revealed as part of the latest quarterly update of the online dictionary, and give an insight for linguists into current language usage trends.
The words will not, for now, appear in the paper-version of the Oxford English Dictionary, which is a more historical account of words, but they could do in the foreseeable future if they continue to be frequently used for years to come.
According to the online dictionary's language monitoring programme, use of the word 'binge-watch' increased fourfold in February and tripled in June, based on its average use over the last two years.
There were notable spikes in its usage recorded around the latest releases of political drama House Of Cards in February and the US comedy Orange Is The New Black in June 2014.
Changes in media consumption habits have also seen the word 'hate-watch' - which means watching a programme for the sake of the enjoyment derived from mocking or criticising it - and 'listicle' - an online article presented in the form of a numbered or bullet-pointed list - added to the web dictionary.
Technology has continued to enter everyday vernacular with words such as 'clickbait' - used to describe an eye-catching word on a website - and 'tech-savy' also making the list.
All new words, senses, and phrases are added to oxforddictionaries.com once enough independent evidence from a range of sources has been gathered to prove their widespread use in English.
Other words added include 'side-boob' - which describes the side part of a woman's breast, 'neckbeard" - meaning male facial hair growing on the neck, and 'humblebrag' - an ostensibly modest or self-deprecating statement, the actual purpose of which is to draw attention to something of which one is proud.
Oxford Dictionaries editor Katherine Connor Martin said one of the main advantages of its language monitoring programme was "to explore how English language evolves differently across the world".
She said: "Naturally, many words are used in similar frequencies in the UK and US, for instance the informal additions 'amazeballs' and 'neckbeard'.
"However, some new slang and informal words catch on much more quickly in a particular variety of English - for instance, in our monitoring sample, side-boob is more than 10 times more common in the UK than in the US whereas 'adorbs' is used about four times more often in the US as in the UK."

At last there's good news on the economy: we seem to be moving from rescue to recovery rather quickly now, with the national economy picking up. But while the governor of the Bank of England asserts that the upturn has "taken hold" there is still the real challenge of sustaining growth into the long term. A prosperous economy is one not only where growth has returned but one where everyone has the opportunity to benefit from it.
The challenge for public sector organisations in all our cities is therefore to create a platform for growth.
Our own analysis shows just how real the squeeze is on living standards, with about a third of average disposable income now taken up by the basics of food, housing and utilities.
For some time we have taken the view that good growth is not just about conventional measures of Gross Domestic Produce, but that it should take account of broader measures of economic wellbeing. These include jobs, income, health and skills which we have found in our research with Demos are the factors which are most important to the public in the work and money side of their lives and fundamental to living standards.
Housing, transport, work-life balance, income distribution, sector balance and the environment are also of importance. These are the factors that matter most to the public when it comes to the economy.
With Demos we have created an index using these measures which assesses the relative performance of the UK's cities. The list shows regional cities in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are outshining the UK's largest cities when ranked by both economic success and the factors which the public hold dear to them.
For the second year in a row, some of the UK's medium-sized regional cities, including Reading, Aberdeen, Preston, Southampton and Belfast, rank higher than they would be in tables based on economic size alone – usually dominated by London, Birmingham, Leeds and Manchester. The largest cities face major challenges with transport congestion, housing, income inequality and other quality of life indicators.
Cities which rank lower down in our index score relatively less well for jobs and income as well as skills. The lowest ranking cities were actually spread across the UK, including Middlesbrough and Stockton, Swansea Bay and London.
London's performance stands out, with the popularity of the city as a leading international business centre causing its own challenges. Despite the highest income levels in the country, when measured against the wider range of publicly defined good growth criteria such as affordable housing and working hours, it slips below the overall UK average.
The importance of employment, where changes underlay where cities rose or fell in our 2013 index, highlights the importance of innovation to drive productivity and new job creation. Better skills are also important as the foundation for both getting people into work and earning a living, as well as enabling businesses to expand and create wealth.
Cities such as Edinburgh, Belfast, Oxford and Cambridge all score well on this indicator. In addition, better infrastructure is needed with which to connect and house people in the places where jobs are located. An integrated programme of infrastructure investments is essential to enhance quality of life and city competitiveness.
Public sector organisations must encourage growth by focusing on skills, infrastructure and innovation, all the while balancing this with a necessary internal focus on efficiency, cost-cutting and reform.
As the ranking of Belfast and Preston shows, it's not the case that success can only be achieved in the south east.
The key to success lies with councils working across administrative boundaries and with businesses, universities, the third sector and the public to define the vision and brand for a place based on analysis of the city's strengths. Councils (and local enterprise partnerships in England) need both investor ready opportunities to present to the market, built on a clear vision for a place, but also a growth plan that's grounded in distinctive local assets, not just the standard menu of priorities of green jobs and digital hubs.

TPG, Fosun in the lead to acquire Cirque du Soleil -sources
By Liana B. Baker and Greg Roumeliotis
April 15 (Reuters) - A consortium of private equity firm TPG Capital LP and Chinese conglomerate Fosun International Ltd is in the final stages of negotiations to acquire Cirque du Soleil, according to people familiar with the matter.
TPG and Fosun have prevailed in an auction for the world's largest theatrical production company over a rival private equity consortium comprising CVC Capital Partners Ltd and Providence Equity LLC, the people said on Wednesday, confirming an earlier report in Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail.
A deal is not yet final and could fall apart, the sources said. Reuters had reported last week that the two consortia were in final negotiations with the company's owner and founder Guy Laliberté.
The price that TPG and Fosun were negotiating with Laliberté could not be learned, but sources close to the process had previously stated a deal would likely value Cirque du Soleil near $1.5 billion.
Laliberté is expected to keep at least a 10 percent stake in Cirque du Soleil and continue to play a significant role in the company, one of the people said. Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, Canada's second-largest pension fund, plans to be minority investor in Cirque du Soleil, according to the sources.
The sources asked not to be identified because the negotiations are confidential. TPG and Providence Equity declined to comment, while Fosun, CVC, Caisse and Cirque du Soleil did not respond to requests for comment.
Best known for its acrobatic spectacles and Las Vegas shows, Cirque du Soleil has been working with investment bank Goldman Sachs Group since last year to find a strategic partner.
Founded by Laliberté and street performers in Quebec in 1984, Cirque du Soleil has become one of Canada's most famous exports. Laliberté currently owns 90 percent of the Montreal-based company. Continued...
