Forecasters Cite Uncertainty in Trying to Predict U.S. Weather
Computer weather models are inconsistent in predicting how long warmth will linger in the U.S. Midwest and cold will remain in the northeastern region, forecasters said.
The central U.S. may be 3 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit (1.7 to 2.8 Celsius) above normal from April 2 to April 6, according to the 6- to 10-day forecast from Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland.
Parts of the upper Great Plains may be as much as 8 degrees above normal while the Northeast remains seasonably cool.
"The various weather models fail to maintain consistency," Rogers said. "This damages model credibility and increases the odds for forecast changeability in the coming days."
Commodities traders watch temperature predictions to gauge energy use and demand. About 51 percent of U.S. households use natural gas for heating, according to the Energy Department.
The pattern driving the weather next week is "highly variable," according to MDA EarthSat Weather's 6- to 10-day forecast for the same time period. That may mean a chill in the Northeast.
"The South could stay warmer through the period," said MDA, based in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
In his 6- to 10-day forecast, Weather Derivatives owner David Salmon predicts the South will be 6 degrees above normal, while most of the Midwest and Northeast won't be as warm.
The coolest weather will be in the western U.S., according to Salmon, in Belton, Missouri.
In New York, the normal average temperature for April 3 is 48, according to MDA. It's 44 in Boston, 45 in Chicago, 53 in St. Louis, 59 in Atlanta, 62 in Dallas, 67 in Houston, 49 in Seattle and 60 in Burbank, California.

Student on A-level ICT: "I don't want to learn about floppy disks anymore"
Following the A-level results announcement today, student David Couch has been in touch with Computer Weekly about his experience of IT A-levels.
Jargon-buster guide to GDPR
The 10 most important things you need to know about GDPR, and a jargon-buster explanation for some of the key terminology.

Currently studying at the University of Kent, David recently won a GlaxoSmithKline-sponsored 'Intern of the Year' award following a year-long placement at Intel.
But his A-level ICT included designing a brochure for an animal park and learning about out-dated floppy disks. David says IT courses aren't keeping up with industry developments and advancements in technology – let alone the kids.
David said:
"I'm not too sure how far A-level prepared me for working in IT. I took the ICT A-level and noticed it was more about how to make attractive presentations or fancy fliers. I think it would have been more of a kick-start if it had included more useful topics for computer students.
Instead of making a brochure for an animal park, we could have started looking at the internals of a computer, or the basics of programming.
I was working on the school's website in year 12 and I feel that helped me a lot more than the official classes.
I would say that IT has been made too general and there's not enough in-depth information to keep those seriously looking into a computing job interested. At the same time, the courses don't move fast enough to stay up-to-date with the technology.
That may be because they're refreshed every four years or so, but is that really the best idea in a constantly moving industry? I don't want to learn about floppy disks anymore.
Just look at the IT Crowd on TV. I love the show, but it's all too often you encounter people who believe that's actually the job of someone in IT.
I expected the same from [my placement at] Intel, working in a basement with everyone around me wearing big glasses and with fuzzy hair – but was very happily surprised. If an average person were to meet them outside of work, I doubt they'd expect them to be in IT. Maybe if more people got the chance to see the 'less-geeky' side of computing it may attract more young people."

As black smoke swirled across the Thai capital, the city's stock exchange, a TV station and one of South-East Asia's biggest shopping malls were among the buildings set ablaze.
At least five people were reported to have been killed as clashes continued between the demonstrators and the Thai troops who stormed the barricades of sharpened bamboo stakes and petrol-filled tyres. Other people were trapped inside blazing buildings as the city degenerated into full-scale urban warfare.
The government announced a curfew starting tonight, in place across 21 provinces, and stores throughout the city started pulling down shutters.
Troops in armoured vehicles and firing semi-automatic weapons advanced at dawn on an area in central Bangkok that has been occupied for more than six weeks by thousands of Red Shirts. Troops methodically picked their way through the camp, securing hand grenades.
As the soldiers surrounded the camp, the leaders offered to surrender, despite supporters urging them to fight, screaming and crying as gunfire rang out nearby.
Moments later, live television showed four Red Shirt leaders in police custody with an army spokesman claiming that the protest site was under army control and that the military had halted operations. The announcement only provoked more violence and a wave of arson.
There were also reports of journalists, who the Red Shirts blame for their defeat, being attacked. Staff at the Nation and Bangkok Post newspapers were evacuated after protesters accused them of biased reporting in favour of the government. In the district of Samrong, where some of the Red Shirts are now gathering, British schoolteacher Richard Barrow said: "Every time the TV showed pictures of burning buildings they cheered. The biggest cheer was for Channel 3 building on fire."
In the Din Daeng area, the office of the Narcotics Control Board was set alight, as was a government savings bank. In the centre of the city attacks were made on the Paragon and Central World shopping malls. In Siam Square a cinema was burned down. Shops were looted.
Two bodies were found in Ratchadamri Road, which leads to the main protest site, after troops followed an armoured car into the camp, a witness from the Reuters news agency said. They appeared to have been shot.
Three grenades exploded outside the camp, badly wounding two soldiers and a foreign journalist, believed to be Canadian. Among the dead was an Italian photo-journalist, who was shot in the stomach and died before he could reach hospital.
British journalist Andrew Chant said: "We came under attack from M79 grenades. The first one exploded in front of me but another one 100 yards away took down a solder and the Canadian. The Canadian was moaning a lot. There was a lot of blood."
Rioting was seen in at least five areas of the city as protesters lit fires and burned tyres. Some hotels set up wooden barricades to prevent attacks. Similar violence was reported in the provincial town of Udon Thani, a Red Shirt stronghold near the Laos border.
The attacks happened hours after the protesters' figurehead, deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, warned that if the government attacked in Bangkok there would be a "nationwide" guerrilla war.
At lunchtime, Red Shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan appeared on the camp's stage, pleading for the protest to stop.
"Please understand and I know you all know I will never abandon you, but it is now time to avoid more lives lost, because it is our Red Shirts who got killed," he said.
The Red Shirts' demands are the resignation of prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who they say gained power illegally in a 2006 coup, and new elections. The government said yesterday that it would no longer negotiate with them.
It has accused Mr Thaksin, who was convicted of corruption after his removal from office, of funding the Red Shirts and has ordered more than 100 bank accounts belonging to his family and his supporters to be frozen.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - April 4, 1995, New Braunfels, Texas 5 ■ Herald-Zeitung ■ Tuesday, April 4,1995Parade entryMichael Krause, great-great-grandson of Johann Adam Wuest, inspects the cart he will use in the Comal County Genealogy Society parade entry, as his "real life" wife, Connie (Publications secretary of the society) looks on. Michael is hoping that some fellow Wuest descendants will Join him by representing Philippine, Emma, August, Gustav and Herman. The society parade entry will depict the "First Founders" of New Braunfels and all descendants are encouraged to participate. Please contact the Comal County Genealogical Society at the Sophienburg Archives, located at 200 N. Seguin St., or call 629-1900 to pick up a form so you can represent your ancestor. Homestead exemption lowers tax bills Homeowners can reduce their property tax bills in 1995 by taking advantage of exemptions. Application forms are available at the Comal Appraisal District office. Chief Appraiser, Lynn Rodgers, informs homeowners that Texas law allows them to file a one-time application for home exemptions. These exemptions reduce the appraised value of the home. Property owners who have never received exemptions on their homes in which they were living on Jan. 1, 1995, and those who became 65 or disabled during 1994, must apply this year to receive exemptions for 1995. Homeowners must file signed, completed applications at the appraisal office by May I. A homeowner's principal residence and yard are considered the residence homestead. It can include up to 20 acres of land and improvements (buildings), such as a swimming pool, greenhouse or other structure, as long as the owner uses them for residential purposes. Rodgers said that a property mustStammtisch meet four tests set by law to qualify for the residence homestead exemption. The person or persons claiming the exemption must own the property on Jan. I ;,the property must be designed or adapted for human residence; the owner must use the property as a residence; and the property must be the principal residence of an owner who qualifies for the exemption. A mobile home, even on leased land, can qualify for the exemption if it meets the four tests. "A property owner can still qualify for the homestead exemption if part of the residence is rented out or used for other purposes, such as a home business," Rodgers said. "And the home will not lose its exemption if the owner moves away temporarily, so long as he or she intends to return and doesn't claim another homestead exemption elsewhere." Texas law provides several types of exemptions for homeowners. For school tax purposes, there is a $5,000 general homestead exemption for all homeowners and an additional $10,000 exemption for those 65 or older or dis abled. The school tax exemption for those 65 or older provides a special property tax "ceiling" for school taxes. While the market value of an elderly person's home may fluctuate with the market, the school taxes cannot increase above the tax amount in the first year that person qualified for the exemption. The ceiling can increase, however, if the owner adds an improvement, other than normal maintenance or repair. When that happens, the new improvement is taxed at its current market value and the current tax rates. The new taxes are added to the previous tax ceiling to create a new ceiling. If an elderly homeowner dies, the surviving spouse may apply to keep the tax ceiling if the spouse was at least 55 years of age when the older spouse died. "The ceiling does not apply to taxes levied by the county, city or other taxing units. An elderly homeowner who has not previously received the over-65 exemption must apply for it before May I," Rodgers said. "To qualify, the homeowner must be 65 or older on Jan. I, 1995." Counties must offer a $3,000 general homestead exemption on the portion of the county tax levied for farm-to-mar-ket roads or flood control. Any taxing unit's governing body may grant an additional optional exemption on the homesteads of disabled or elderly residents, or both. Taxing units may also offer a local-option homestead exemption based on a percentage of a home's appraised value. In 1994, any taxing unit can exempt up to 20 percent of the value of each qualified homestead. No matter what percentage the taxing unit adopts, the dollar amount for any homestead exemption must be at least $5,000. Percentage homestead exemptions are granted by Comal Independent School District at 20 percent, Comal County at 20 percent, and the City of New Braunfels at 20 percent.

Mill St., Ste. 101, New Braunfels, TX 78130, 210-625-8597.Postal cancellation available A special hand-cancellation commemorating the Sesquicentennial celebration will be available starting Good Friday, April 14 in the lobby of the New Braunfels Post Office.

Interferon (show IFNA Proteins) regulatory factor (IRF (show TRIM63 Proteins))10 inhibits the expression of IFN1 and IFN3 to avoid an excessive immune response, a unique regulation mechanism of the IFN responses in lower vertebrates.
Hepatitis A virus protein 2B suppresses beta interferon (show IFNA Proteins) (IFN) gene transcription by interfering with IFN regulatory factor 3 activation.
MyD88 (show MYD88 Proteins) interacts with interferon (show IFNA Proteins) regulatory factor (IRF) 3 and IRF7 (show IRF7 Proteins) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
down-regulation of IRF3 inhibited the proliferation and extracellular matrix expression in keloid fibroblasts.
rotavirus NSP1 (show SH2D3A Proteins) (nonstructural protein 1) employs a pLxIS motif to target IRF-3 for degradation, but phosphorylation of NSP1 (show SH2D3A Proteins) is not required for its activity. These results suggest a concerted mechanism for the recruitment and activation of IRF-3 that can be subverted by viral proteins to evade innate immune responses.
Highly pathogenic Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus modulates Interferon-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) expression mainly through attenuating IRF-3 phosphorylation.
Data suggest that molecular chaperone (show HSP90AA1 Proteins) GRP78 (show HSPA5 Proteins) contributes to toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3 (show TLR3 Proteins))-mediated, interferon regulatory factor 3 protein (IRF3)-dependent innate immune response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hepatocytes.
Findings suggest a common and conserved mechanism through which highly pathogenic MERS-CoV and SARS (show SARS Proteins)-CoV harness their M proteins to suppress type I IFN expression at the level of TBK1 (show TBK1 Proteins)-dependent phosphorylation and activation of IRF3 resulting in evasion of the host innate antiviral response.
observations suggest IRF3 may function as a novel regulator to modulate TGF-beta1 (show TGFB1 Proteins)-induced LX-2 proliferation, at least in part, via AKT (show AKT1 Proteins) signaling pathway
FAF1 (show FAF1 Proteins) plays a novel role in negatively regulating virus-induced IFN-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) production and the antiviral response by inhibiting the translocation of active, phosphorylated IRF3 from the cytosol to the nucleus
the LxxLL motifs of IRF3 binds within the hydrophobic pocket of E6, precluding Ser (show SIGLEC1 Proteins)-patch phosphorylation, necessary for IRF3 activation and interferon (show IFNA Proteins) induction.
the suppression of type I IFN production by HTLV-1 Tax (show CNTN2 Proteins) through interaction with and inhibition of TBK1 (show TBK1 Proteins) kinase that phosphorylates IRF3
The authors found that Ca(2 (show CA2 Proteins)+) signaling associated with membrane perturbation and recognition of incoming viral genomes by cytosolic nucleic acid receptors are required to activate IRF3 in response to Sendai virus and human cytomegalovirus.
Amino acid residues in the N-terminal domain of Npro are involved in the stability of Npro, in interaction of Npro with IRF-3 and subsequent degradation of IRF-3, leading to downregulation of IFN-alpha (show IFNA Proteins)/beta production.
The obtained results showed that PRRSV nsp1 could inhibit Poly(I:C)-induced IFN-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) promoter activity in MARC (show CCL7 Proteins)-145 cells by down-regulating the protein level of IRF-3 and inhibiting the phosphorylation of IRF-3.
proteasomal degradation of IRF3 is induced by a direct or indirect interaction with N(pro).
this study shows that regulation of the IRF3 pathway can affect multiple cell types and contribute to ameliorate pathogenesis of infection-triggered exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Data show that the formation of a tripartite ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 (S6K1 (show RPS6KB1 Proteins))-STING membrane protein-TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1 (show TBK1 Proteins)) complex was necessary for the activation of interferon regulatory factor-3 (IRF3).

results revealed a new paradigm in which the antiviral host factor, IRF3, plays a cell-intrinsic pro-parasitic role.
Irf3/IFN activation in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells expands multipotent progenitors fractions but inhibits HSC (show FUT1 Proteins) mobilization
find that IRF3 versus ISGF3 (show IRF9 Proteins) specificity may be critical to limiting IFN-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) production and ISGF3 (show IRF9 Proteins) activation, temporally and spatially, but that partial overlap in their specificity is tolerable and may enhance the effectiveness of the innate-immune response
Bipartite nuclear localization signal controls nuclear import and DNA-binding activity of IRF3.
Our findings delineate a novel mechanism for the termination of IRF3 activation in nucleus through TRIM26 (show TRIM26 Proteins)-mediated IRF3 ubiquitination and degradation.
PP1 (show PPP1CC Proteins) directly interacts with IRF3 and dephosphorylates IRF3 at Ser385 and Ser396, resulting in the suppression of TLR- and RLR (show DHX58 Proteins)-triggered IFN-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) production.
The authors demonstrate that bovine herpesvirus 1 bICP0 effectively inhibits bovine IFN-beta (show IFNB1 Proteins) promoter activity and induces IRF3 degradation.
cpBVDV infection causes a marked loss of interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF-3), a cellular transcription factor that controls interferon (show IFNA Proteins) synthesis.
This gene encodes a member of the interferon regulatory transcription factor (IRF) family. The encoded protein is found in an inactive cytoplasmic form that upon serine/threonine phosphorylation forms a complex with CREBBP. This complex translocates to the nucleus and activates the transcription of interferons alpha and beta, as well as other interferon-induced genes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Despite the current violent unrest in Israel that is not yet a third intifada, I came away thinking that as hopeless as it too often seems, against all odds, there's still a solution to be had, still time for the sides to sit down at the table and make a deal. But not much.

Jordan may be a small country but it is jam-packed with amazing sites.

An optional part of the tour -- but one well worth seeing -- is a feast of sight and sound in the Hippodrome in which 45 Roman "legionnaires" in full combat gear show off their battle tactics.
I visited Jordan last month, my 10th trip in 15 years, and experienced not only the absence of tourists but also a wealth of new things to see and experience.
With all of the political upheaval in the Middle East, it's not surprising that quite a few people questioned my decision to travel to Jordan this spring.

Driver killed in fiery crash in Chico's Bidwell Park
CHICO, Calif. - A man was killed early Wednesday morning after his vehicle slammed into a tree and burst into flames along Chico's Bidwell Park.
The collision happened at 3:11 a.m. on Vallombrosa Avenue near Lilac Lane. Police found a dark green Mini Cooper on fire. Firefighters extinguished the fire, trying to get the driver out. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the driver was a 27-year-old man, from Paradise. His name was not released pending notification of his family.
Investigators said the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed, east on Vallombrosa Avenue. As the vehicle passed with Lilac Lane, it left the south side of the road and struck a tree head-on. This is a residential area along Bidwell Park.
It is unknown why the vehicle left the road or if alcohol was a factor. The Chico Police Department MAIT (Major Accident Investigation Team) is leading the investigation.
Anyone who may have witnessed this collision is asked to contact the Chico Police Department at (530) 897-4900.

There must surely be something admirable about a public figure able to use public transport without affectation. The England football manager's decision to travel by Tube to Arsenal's Champions League match against Olympiakos is, therefore, to be applauded.
But, if it is difficult to imagine Roy Hodgson's patrician predecessor, Fabio Capello, sullying himself with anything so plebeian, it is trickier still to avoid the obvious downside of mixing with Joe and Josephine Public quite so freely. Indeed, just one unguarded remark to a commuter – plus pictures captured on a mobile phone – led to front-page headlines to the effect that the international career of Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United defender and one-time England captain) was over.
Perhaps, Mr Hodgson must have thought, there are advantages to the chauffeur-driven limo, after all.

Generic Inderal La Information
Common useInderal la acts blocking beta-adrenergic substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine), a key agent in the "sympathetic" portion of the autonomic (involuntary) nervous system which is responsible for work of the heart. The medication is used to treat tremors, chest pain, hypertension, heart rhythm disorders, ischemic heart disease, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, myocardiodystrophy and other conditions.
Dosage and directionTake orally disregarding time of your meal. Take Inderal la with a full glass of water at the same time every day. Do not chew, crush, break, or open a Inderal la capsule. Swallow the tab whole. Do not stop to take the medication suddenly as it may cause problems to your heart.
PrecautionsDo not use this drug if you suffer from asthma or certain heart conditions, especially second or third degree heart block, liver or kidney failure. Avoid drinking alcohol. Do not stop taking the medication even if you feel better as hypertension may have no symptoms.
ContraindicationsSinus bradycardia, incomplete or complete atrioventricular block (problems with conduction of excitation in the excitation-conduction system of the heart), severe right and left ventricular failure, bronchial asthma and a tendency to bronchospasm, pregnancy, disorders of peripheral arterial blood flow. In patients with spastic colitis (inflammation of the colon, characterized by its contraction) administration of Inderal la is not recommended.
Possible side effectNausea, vomit, diarrhea, bradycardia (a slow heartbeat), dizziness allergy itchy skin, bronchospasm (contraction of bronchus). Depression is possible.
Drug interactionAlcohol and aluminum reduce the absorption of propranolol. Inderal la increases the blood levels of theophylline and lidocaine. Phenytoin, phenobarbital, and rifampin reduce level of Inderal la in blood. Cimetidine and chlorpromazine on the contrary increase the blood levels of Inderal la.
Missed doseIf you missed a dose of short acting Inderal la take the missed dose as soon as you remember but not if only about four hours remained till next dose. If so skip the missed dose and return to your schedule. If extended release Inderal la dose is missed then take the missed dose the soonest but not if less than eight hours remained till next dose.

Talk is cheap. It's easy to discuss video and how it works online, but what about producing it? Yes, money makes it easier. But a lot of money has been wasted on the medium for lack of a little knowledge.
Much of the online video revolution occurred at either end of the execution spectrum. The range is almost pure formula: super-duper epic budgets with top talent and expensive post-production at one end; some teenager with a camcorder lighting a bottle rocket off from his delicate orifice at the other end. (Yes, it's on YouTube. But I'm not including the link.) No matter what money is spent, it ends up online. Anyone can see it for free.
So where do you fit in, and how do you get it done? Whether you're a local business owner who's cranking up the video camera and iMovie or a marketing professional trying to figure out which agency, off- or online, should run your next video project, you've got a big decision to make.
A major factor is media cost, whether it's local cable, online video placement, or something else. You've got to scale production dollars and time to your media budget.
I'm biased, of course, but you should always engage a professional. The do-it-yourself approach can be charming, but often you're only fooling yourself. Not that I'm one to inhibit the inner Kubrick or Spielberg in all of us, but let's crawl before we sprint.
The right venue for your ad is important, and at a local level things have changed. Local and regional online publishers have opened their doors to online video. Though it may seem somewhat expensive, it's a great opportunity for a local merchant to stand out from the competition. Whether it's a full-on media buy or an introductory offer from the publisher, you should always make the most of it and take a measured approach.
If you're thinking of doing it alone, here's a quick video spec so you know what to deliver to your online publisher or local production studio:
- Uncompressed (define)
- De-interlaced (define)
- Square pixel (define), not 0.9
- Full resolution (define): 720 pixels
- Full audio tracks embedded in the .mov file (define)
- No titles
This may seem a little technical, but just knowing this is a good start. You might be turned away if you show up with a camcorder tape, a script, and a bad copy of your logo.
If you're a marketing professional with a new project, and you pick up the phone to call your agency but hesitate about which one to call, you're not alone. Independent production companies are working with Internet agencies to add a layer of polish often not readily available to them.
Full-service agencies (including interactive) are a good bet. Most internal production departments know the Internet is the way a lot of work is going to go. They don't want to be left out of the party.
You're likely to get a great result from a great agency. And you should always judge the depth of your relationship with your partners before you start the advertising Armageddon.
It also helps to know what to expect. This column explains what makes a great rich ad.
The big reason you should be smarter about the whos and whats of online advertising is because none of this is going to get any easier. As complexity increases, developing the most rudimentary knowledge of how to make an online video paves the way for solid, effective use of it in the coming years.
The new online video dilemma is a formidable one when you're spending relatively big money to place the ad. The days of cheap Internet advertising are over. Whether you're stumping to sell local goods or working on an international campaign, video is great, but a great video is better.

The RunawayMature
In most stories, there has to be something that leaves you hanging and thirsty for more. Not this one. The Runaway is about a young girl that leaves her home to find her place in this world. She finds her place amoung a group of fearless wanted drug dealers. Right when she thought she was completely happy, she finds herself in a huge mess. Tell the cops what she knows or lie her way back to the streets.
"Haylee! Your going to be late school!" Mom mom hissed walking past my open bedroom door.
I mummbled something I dragged myself out of my warm bed. I walked to my bathroom and slammed the door shut. Twenty minutes later I walked into the kitchen. Dad sat at the table drinking his coffee and reading the paper.
"This city has do something about those dirty drug dealers." Dad said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Dad, they're human like we are. Just pretend they're not there and get on with life." I sighed.
"Haylee, their trash. Scum. Someone needs to do something before our city becomes trashed." Dad replied.
"No one knows how to mind their business. People are so stuck up and selfish." I sighed.
"Haylee, since when do you care about other people? You don't sound like yourself." Mom said.
"I'm not hungry. I think I'll walk to school." I hissed.
I grabbed my backpack and walked out the kitchen. I walked out the front door and walked down the sidewalk. My parents raised me to think that everyone that didn't have as much money as we do are trash. I walked past an homeless man. I stopped and turned around. As I walked back to him I pulled a few dollars out of my wallet.
"Here. You need it more than I do." I said.
He thanked me and I walked to school.
My high school is like most high schools. You have your clicks and your bullies and evil teachers and other "wonderful" things. My day consists of arguing with my least favorite teachers ( all of them), beating up the annoying flirting boys and pranking the cheerleaders and making them run away screaming. And as a result I end the school day sitting in the principles office trying to talk that woman into not telling my parents anything. At 3:10 I go home and argue about life with my parents and go to bed and start over again. I hear kids my age say that school is their ticket out of their life at home. For me, school is just another hell. The walk between home and school is my freedom. It's a short walk but it gets things off my mind. When I go home, it's a bowl of judgment soup every night. It's either "why can't you be like your cousin Ellie?" or "why can't you be what we raised you to be?". Do you know that saying "Life is like a box of chocolates...". Well, whoever came up with that, they lied.

Cliff Jones, 6-3, 296 pound offensive guard from Memphis-University School (Tenn.) said, "My first thought was wow, did we just win? I was in utter disbelief. Last year at halftime we were up and they came out and put up a lot of points on us. I was real proud of my teammates. I think the seniors came together and pushed everyone through that game. We were so elated about winning and teamwork is what won it for us."
In a ball game where Memphis-University School only had 199 total yards compared to Olive Branch (Miss.) 346 yards. Jones explained the team's ability to win by saying, "I attribute that to special teams definitely and our defense. I think our punter's longest punt was 67 yards. He was incredible. We never once had to drive more than forty yards to get a touchdown. We pinned them back inside their twenty or thirty almost every time."
Jones went on to list the schools showing the most interest as, "Probably Memphis, Auburn, and Alabama." He added, "Memphis sends something weekly. I just got something that said to come to their games, so with a home town team I will be able to go."
Right now the Tigers seem to be consistently coming after Jones. He commented on the positives of the Tigers, "I like the offensive line coach. He is a great guy. The coaching staff is good and it's my hometown so I know the area and tradition that goes with that."
He talked a little bit about having both Alabama and Auburn recruiting him. He said of the rivals, "I have a bunch of friends that are either Auburn or Alabama and they are always bickering."Jones said, "What I like about Auburn is the coaching staff and facilities. I have had a chance to talk to Coach Nall and I like him. I also like the tradition because I walk around town and I will be wearing an Auburn shirt and someone will 'War Eagle' me and I like that."
The Memphis-University School (Tenn.) team that Jones plays for runs an offense similar to Auburn. His school runs the Tony Franklin system and is seeing great success as they move their way up into one of the top teams in the Memphis area. Jones commented on the system, "There is quite a bit of similarities because it is his system. We probably run the ball a little more and we run a lot of screen plays. I like the system and I think it makes it simpler."
The in state rival Alabama has been sending a few letters and staying in touch. He said of the Crimson Tide, "Alabama, their facilities are mind blowing. Coach Saban is going to put his team on his shoulders and he really has them going in the right direction."
From this point on Jones plans to get out some film to let schools see his progress. He commented on his next move, "I'm going to wait until I send out game film of the first three games and I will kind of see from there and try to go to a couple of schools. I will have to go from there."

Owning property abroad is a dream for many who are tempted by the promise of warm weather and houses at bargain prices. But financial experts are warning prospective buyers to be careful about the potential tax liability of their overseas property.
Many people buy holiday homes off-plan from developers, particularly in Spain and Portugal. They are often advised to buy through an offshore company, but doing so could land them in hot water with the Inland Revenue and increase their UK tax liabilities by thousands of pounds.
'Depending on your individual circumstances, setting up an offshore company could end up costing you a lot more than you expected,' says Ben Melling, a tax partner at business and financial adviser Grant Thornton. 'Prospective purchasers should be wary of local agents and developers who recommend the use of such companies, as they may only be taking the local tax position into account.'
The Inland Revenue may seek to charge income tax on what it regards as a benefit in kind, namely your rent-free occupation of the holiday home. This is not an issue where the property is owned personally, but it could be where the legal owner is a company controlled by you.
For overseas properties, the measure of the 'benefit' is the property's annual rental value in the local market. If you own a house worth £200,000, which has an annual rental value of £10,000, the Inland Revenue could seek tax on £10,000 at your marginal rate of tax. So a higher-rate taxpayer could face a liability of £4,000 a year, which would increase with every subsequent rise in the rental value. Eventually he or she might end up paying more in tax than the property's original cost.
'Although many people use a company as a convenient holding structure it can present a significant tax problem,' says Melling. 'The tax liability will be reduced if the property is available for letting to third parties for most of the year, but not where it is at the disposal of the company owner at all times.' In other words, even if you only use your holiday home for a few weeks in the summer, the Inland Revenue will tax you as though you were there all the time unless you rent it out.
One of the other reasons UK residents have used the holding company structure for their homes is to avoid the forced inheritance rules that are in place in several European countries, including France. These can require the estate to be divided equally among your children on your death, even if your will expressly says otherwise.
Until recently, foreign buyers in Portugal were often advised to make their purchase via an offshore tax haven company to mitigate local taxation. However, punitive new tax rules in Portugal are designed to discourage such arrangements, by subjecting them to an annual municipal tax (similar to our council tax) of 5 per cent - compared to the normal 0.8 per cent. They also have to pay a tax on transfers of ownership of 15 per cent, compared with the usual 6 per cent.
Melling says: 'In Portugal the goalposts have moved a lot recently and anyone purchasing there should think long and hard before going down the offshore company route.'
The complexity of the issues means buyers can't always rely on information provided by local agents, who may not understand the tax implications for UK residents. 'In practice, if you own shares in a company whose sole investment is a holiday home abroad, then you may be increasing your tax liabilities in the UK. Deciding on the best ownership structure is difficult because you have to weigh up the local issues and the implications in the UK. Often the simplest is best. In many cases for clients we have concluded that straightforward direct per sonal ownership is the least of all evils. However, for clients who have already got a company structure there can be a cost involved in making the change.'
There is some good news: in France the authorities have recently reduced the burden of capital gains on second residences. The longer you hold your French home, the lower the rate of potential tax if you sell it. 'You need a good local lawyer and someone to advise on tax issues,' says Melling. This is particularly important in certain areas of Spain, such as Valencia, where urbanisation projects mean building laws are often flouted or manipulated. Your idyllic holiday home might have a view of the sea one year, but when you return you find it has been obscured by a huge new housing estate. Having someone with local knowledge and their ear to the ground can be an enormous help in avoiding such nightmares.

THE CONTROVERSIAL Project Pinewood plans have been rejected by South Bucks District Council.
At a meeting held on Wednesday, October 21, SBDC's planning committee turned down the studio's bid to build 1,700 new homes in the form of permanent film sets on green belt land.
The studios, in Pinewood Road, Iver Heath, had claimed that the building of the sets, which would take the form of a number of different cities, including New York, New Orleans and Paris, was vital to the future of the studios and to the UK film industry.
However, SBDC's planning committee ruled that the sets could not be built because they would be going against Green Belt Land policy if they were to do so.
A huge crowd of residents descended on the council's offices to make their feelings on the issue known, and were supported by a number of parish councillors from Iver.
Julian Wilson, parish council chairman,told the planning committee: "This is nothing more than a cynical attempt to build 1,400 houses on Green Belt land. I urge you to refuse it."
The committee eventually ruled to reject the plans unanimously, with committee member Jacquetta Lowen-Cooper saying: "We are not here to beat Pinewood and we are proud of having them in South Bucks. However, allowing these plans would set a dangerous precedent as far as the Green Belt issue is concerned."
The meeting was broadcast to the crowd gathered outside the council's offices.
Afterwards, residents and members of the Stop Project Pinewood group were overjoyed with the decision.
Sylvie Lowe, of the group, said: "This is a fantastic decision and I am over the moon. We know that Pinewood are likely to appeal and that this is just the beginning of the battle, but for now we will enjoy this."

Barclays has reported a fall in profits as it set aside more funds to cover potential fines for misconduct.
Statutory pre-tax profits fell 21% to £2.26bn in 2014. The bank increased its provision to cover any fallout from a probe into currency market manipulation by £750m to £1.25bn.
Stripping out this and other provisions and charges, adjusted profits rose 12% to £5.5bn.
Boss Antony Jenkins was awarded a £1.1m bonus - his first as chief executive.
This pushed his total pay package to £5.5m for 2014.
But the bank reduced the overall pool of money allocated for bonuses by 22% to £1.86bn.
Provision for payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation was increased by £200m for the last three months of 2014, the bank said, taking the year's total to £1.1bn.

Cane Creek 40 Series Mixed Tapered ZS44 EC49/40 Headset
A fork with a tapered steerer adds stiffness to the front end of the bike to improve tracking and steering control through rough terrain. It's a real benefit for long travel trail bikes bridging that gap between cross country light and all mountain capable. This Cane Creek 40 Series Mixed Tapered ZS44 EC4940 Headset is a great choice to mate your tapered fork to a tapered head tube since it's nearly as high tech as their 110 Series headsets, but it costs a good bit less. Money for more parts You bet. Where the 110 headset has cups machined from 7075 T6 aluminum, this 40 Series Headset is crafted from 6061 T6 alloy. The functional difference is one of a few grams, with the higher tech alloy of the 110 headset allowing a lighter overall part. This 40 Series Headset spins on Cane Creek's black oxide bearings. The races and balls start out as 52100 steel and are then given an acid bath to make them more corrosion resistant, while still being porous enough to retain grease. They are angular contact bearings ACB, which resist both axial and radial loads equally well. The cartridges are sealed with what Cane Creek likes to call a Split Lip Seal, which has two contact seals per side to better keep out contaminants and hold in grease. To augment the seals on the cartridge bearings, Cane Creek adds face seals to the crown race and top assembly. So what if the bearings aren't stainless grease kept in and muddy goop kept out keeps 'em running like new for a long time. In the event that you might wreck the bearings through normal use or abuse, you should know that all the internal parts in this 40 Series Headset are compatible with their top of the line 110 Series Headset. So you could always upgrade to the 110 headset's stainless steel bearings. The Clip Seal in the upper assembly holds all the parts together, including the compression ring. This makes assembly a cinch, since there are no loose parts to misplace or install backwards.The Cane Creek 40 Series...

Reading, Writing, And George W. Bush
Once there was a Republican who promised to be "the Education President." After a fitful experiment with national goal-setting, he shifted to other priorities and was expelled after a single term in office.
Now, another prominent GOP pol is making public education his top priority. He's streamlining his state's education bureaucracy, returning power to local school districts, stiffening standards, and demanding more accountability. His efforts have vaulted him to national prominence and helped spark talk of a run for the White House.
If education was a dead end for his dad, it's proving to be a bonanza for Texas Governor George W. Bush. The younger Bush has embarked on an ambitious program to move Texas from a state in which 42,000 third-graders couldn't read in 1997--and 38,000 of them were promoted anyway--to one in which every third-grader will be reading by 2002. Unlike Washington conservatives, Bush isn't bashing teachers' unions and school bureaucrats. He has committed billions in new spending to turn Texas into a national pacesetter, and with a $3 billion budget surplus this year, he doesn't have to play Scrooge to pay the bills.
In Texas, Bush has been "a lifesaver for school reform," says Sandy Kress, ex-president of Dallas' school board and a onetime Democratic county chair. Adds Chester E. Finn Jr. of the conservative Manhattan Institute: "Texas probably leads the country at the moment in setting academic standards, testing, and accountability."
On a national level, the success of Bush's education initiatives is crucial to recasting the Republican Party in his "compassionate conservative" image. Just as Bill Clinton co-opted the GOP issues of welfare, crime, and deficit reduction in 1992, George W. is intent on seizing education from the Democrats.
BIG TENT. Bush's conciliatory approach has endeared him to many Democrats--and even to some teachers' union leaders. "He has done an outstanding job," says state Representative Paul Sadler, Democratic chair of the Public Education Committee. "I'm sure he wouldn't like me saying this," adds Texas Federation of Teachers President John Cole, "but he is a Texas Democrat." Says Bush: "I unite people as a management style. If you divide people into groups and pit one group against another to achieve educational excellence, it's inevitably going to fail."
But Bush's big-tent approach has made enemies on his party's right. Conservative critics accuse him of selling out to the education bureaucracy and secular humanists. "His approach has been to play it safe and work with Democrats," says ex-Texas GOP Chairman Tom Pauken.
Hard-liners already have clashed with Bush over his attempts to modernize the state school curriculum and his reversal of a 1994 campaign pledge to eliminate the state education agency's regulatory powers. "He has a mentality that says big government is O.K. as long as we're in control of it," says Stephanie Cecil, top education lobbyist for the Texas Eagle Forum, a group of social conservatives. Bush acknowledges the tension: "All I ask is, judge me on our record of results not on conspiracy theories."
What is that record? When he came to power in 1995, Bush inherited a school system marked by stark inequalities between wealthy and poor districts. Texas lagged behind national averages in pupil achievement and teacher pay despite reforms initiated by Democratic Governors Mark White and Ann W. Richards.
PRIVATE FLOPS. Bush's first major education reform--an overhaul of the state education code--reduced red tape. Under Bush, the Texas Education Agency cut its staff by 27% and erased 55% of state regulations.
Now, the state's accountability system grades more than 6,600 Texas schools annually. Texas rewards schools based on test performance (and improvement), while reserving the right to remove principals and seize control of failing schools. In 1998, six school districts were deemed "academically unacceptable" because of low test scores or high dropout rates. The Texas Education Agency intervened in two Dallas and San Antonio area districts during Bush's first term but restored local control after the schools made gains.
Some of Bush's other innovations haven't been as successful. Privately run charter schools have had mixed results despite strong support from business, which has anted up $4 million to help fund them. Says one top Bush adviser: "Some entrepreneurs, while well-intentioned, haven't honed their management abilities."
But the bottom line for Bush is student achievement. Already, test results are better. Texas and North Carolina have shown the greatest improvement in national test results of any states in the country since 1992, according to a 1998 study issued by the National Education Goals Panel. Bush boasts that every ethnic group improved in the Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) tests--and minority students showed the greatest gains.
LONG HAUL. Despite these successes and $10 billion in state spending on education in 1997-98 alone, Texas remains in the middle of the pack in national tests. Teacher salaries and per-pupil expenses are still below the national average. And some 25% of Texas teachers aren't certified in the subject they're teaching. "We're pleased with the progress but not satisfied with where we are," says John Stevens, executive director of the Texas Business & Education Coalition.
Furthermore, the tests remain a lightning rod for criticism. A study commissioned by the Tax Research Assn., a Houston watchdog group, concluded that TAAS tests have been made easier in recent years. Hispanic activists argue that standardized tests discriminate against Latinos.
Bush is undeterred by the protests. In his 1999 State of the State address, he asked for an additional $1 billion over two years for local school districts. The centerpiece: a ban on social promotions and more remedial aid for failing students. And just a day after his education bill breezed through the state senate on Feb. 18, the governor was musing about a future project. "I anticipate virtual-reality reading laboratories where a child will interface with a voice-activated computer system," he told BUSINESS WEEK in a Feb. 19 interview. He also dreams of virtual-reality school districts and laptops for every pupil.
Certainly, Bush will have to make good on his ambitions before his Texas successes translate into a compelling national platform. But right now, dreams may be enough for a party longing for both "the vision thing" and strong leadership.

Many thick, goopy foundations make us feel about as unnatural-looking as the Joker. Not so funny. We prefer a makeup look that's a little more inconspicuous, so naturally, we gravitated toward Alison Raffaele's Reality Base Foundation. Its weightless, oil-free formula is designed to look completely natural on skin, providing medium coverage and leaving your face silky-smooth. The foundation contains the protective and restorative Frutta di VitaTM antioxidant complex, a brand signature ingredient.
This foundation goes on light and smooth to a beautiful finish. It feels amazing on my skin but the only bummer is that it doesn't have any sun protection in it. This is definitely a light weight foundation - most similar to a BB cream or tinted moisturizer - and it looks beautiful on.4
I received this product as a sample in my birchbox. I tried it and wasn't hot on it at first but the more I wore it and put it on the more I fell in love with it. I took the top off and scooped the last remains out with a q-tip! It's probably one of the best foundations I've tried in a long time. I love how light it is and and how it goes on, not creamy or oily. I like that a lot. The reason I didn't like it at first was because it felt dry going on, but after using it that is the reason I fell in love with it!! So...now I'm buying the full size.5
This I thought was a little too light of coverage until I used it over a cc cream. This is the only brand that is the closest to my skin shade . I usually have to mix a few shades to get it it somewhat right. But this is right out of the bottle matching. I like that you can build coverage too. Love it.
