FOUR games, four defeats and 14 goals conceded.
No wonder Nigel Adkins admitted after Southampton's 6-1 thrashing at Arsenal
on Saturday: "This is a ruthless division."
On top of that, the Saints boss has the shadow of the currently unemployed
Harry Redknapp looming over his shoulder from just down the South Coast.
Adkins, 47, guided Saints back to the Premier League after a seven-year
absence with consecutive promotions.
In August, there was the belief another successful season could see him
rewarded — like Paul Lambert and Brendan Rodgers before him — with a move to
a bigger club.
Not that there is much wrong with Southampton.
After the financial difficulties of a few years ago, they have re-established
themselves as the epitome of how a club should be run.
They have a solid fan base at the 32,000-capacity St Mary's, one of the best
youth systems and a scouting network that has unearthed real talent like
Gareth Bale, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
They also have in Adkins a man who came through the ranks the right way via
Bangor City and Scunthorpe, one of the brightest managers around.
But as soon as the fixture-list pitched Southampton in against both Manchester
clubs and Arsenal in the first four games you feared the worst. You also
feel the same about Reading after their pitiful surrender to Spurs
As Adkins conceded at the Emirates, the Premier League is ruthless. A brutal,
unforgiving arena in which new clubs on a certain budget need a break or two
in their opening games.
Southampton have had precious few.
They led champions Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad only to be beaten with
two goals in the last 22 minutes. They were then just five minutes or so
away from a famous victory over Manchester United at St Mary's only for
Robin van Persie to dig Alex Ferguson's side out of an enormous hole.
But it was the manner of their defeat at Arsenal which showed that once you
are down, it's extremely hard to get back on your feet.
Yes, they fell behind following a mistake by goalkeeper Kelvin Davis though it
still needed an own goal from Jos Hooiveld to give Arsenal the lead.
Hooiveld then limped off and we had a sublime Lukas Podolski free-kick, a goal
against anyone from the moment it left his foot.
This was followed by summer signing Maya Yoshida, Hooiveld's replacement,
losing Gervinho for the third.
A second own goal from Nat Clyne made it 4-0 before half-time.
Yes, there was a certain naivety about Southampton but it's not often so much
can go wrong on the same day.
Adkins said afterwards that points now have to be put on the board.
Yet there should have been some there already only for Southampton to waste
chances in their opening home game of the season against Wigan and end up
losing 2-0.
Now Saints entertain a revived Aston Villa before a trip to Everton. That is
followed by Fulham (h), West Ham (a), Spurs (h), WBA (a), Swansea (h), QPR
(a), Newcastle (h) and Norwich (h).
Not the most difficult run on paper. But unless they get it right soon — or
get the rub of the green — they could turn into one of those clubs that are
almost cut adrift by Christmas.
How long then before chairman Nicola Cortese's loyalty is tested and he's on
the blower to 'Arry?
Shake up the rules
AS far as the Premier League is concerned, it would seem that there is no such
thing as bad publicity.
As long as the 'product' continues to get free air-space.
Hence their absurd decision to stick with the pre-match handshake.
At Loftus Road this Saturday, football was once again made to look totally
Someone at the PL obviously felt at the time that the handshake was a good
Now, though, most people agree with QPR manager Mark Hughes — among others —
that it's more trouble than it's worth.
Yet Richard Scudamore and his highly-paid pals continue to ignore the obvious.
It's getting to the stage where they, rather than the players, should be
charged with bringing the game into disrepute.
Kean to reach sweet 16
VENKY'S apparently told Steve Kean he needed a 'minimum' 16 points from his
opening seven games to keep his job.
Nothing like piling on the pressure.
Well, the Blackburn boss is having a real go at the challenge laid down to him
before a ball was even kicked in anger.
Rovers' spectacular 5-3 win away at Bristol City on Saturday put them top of
the Championship with 11 points from five games. Yet the Indian owners are
nothing if not perverse.
Having stuck with Kean on the way down from the Premier League, who's to say
they won't sack him on the way back up?
Powell has wow factor
HE was only on the pitch for 19 minutes.
But there was something a little special about the confidence and technique
with which Nick Powell scored his first goal for Manchester United against
Wigan. Powell, 18, cost just £4million from Crewe. And he's English.
Yes, it's early days but, on occasions like these, you can't lose all faith in
the motherland.
AFC in the Brown stuff
AFC WIMBLEDON made a glorious entry into the Football League last season.
Now — in their 10th season in existence — they are just three places off the
foot of League Two with 17 goals conceded in six games.
Manager Terry Brown admits: "If the results don't improve, I'll have to move
You said it, mate.
THE Premier League top four currently reads: Chelsea, then Manchester United,
Arsenal and Manchester City.
Well, that's the Champions League places sorted out after just four games.

First Look at Woody Allen's Next Movie 'Wonder Wheel'
Posted on Tuesday, February 21st, 2017 by Jack Giroux
Another period piece is coming our way from writer-director Woody Allen. We know little about his latest movie, titled Wonder Wheel, which is typical of Allen's movies. Rarely are character and plot details shared early on. But we do know his latest film stars Justin Timberlake, Kate Winslet, and Juno Temple and it takes place in the 1950s.
Below, check out the first photo from Woody Allen's next movie.

I have 17,400 miles on my 2011 highlander and I'm still getting close to 28.5 mpg all highway (doing 70mph or less) & 24-25 mixed cty/hy driving. I'm not sure why the EPA for 2011 & newer models has their highway ratings dropped from 27 to 25Report it
on 04/20/13 05:50 AM (PDT)
I, too, purchased the 2012 Inline 4 2.7L model. I absolutely love it. It averages about 23/24 around town. It has averaged 26mpg/highway going around 75-80mph. Agreed, the power is enough. Of course the V-6 engine has quicker acceleration (good if you live in mountainous/snowy areas, etc.), but I live in FL where everything is flat and I'm not looking to race anyone. This is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've had mine for nearly two years and have 27,500 miles on it and it's doing GREAT. LOVE IT.Report it
on 08/03/12 05:59 AM (PDT)
Updated. After three months of ownership, I like my car more. It has good power, good gas mileage. Like someone mention before. It give me gas mileage similar to hybrid model. 27-28 miles/gallon.Report it

The Beijing-Tibet expressway slowed to a crawl on August 14 due to a spike in traffic by cargo-bearing heavy trucks heading to the capital, and compounded by road maintenance work that began five days later, the Global Times said.

Chapter V
For two days, the castle was shrouded in a fog of silence. Servants moved about on tiptoe, jumping at the slightest noise, and conversations were held in whispers. There seemed to be an unspoken agreement to be as quiet as possible, although what benefit anyone was expected to gain was beyond Beatrix's powers of reasoning.
Her favourite place in the whole castle was its extensive library. A large, roughly circular room in the East Tower, the library smelt of age and secrets, but always managed to be strangely comforting. A windowseat, hidden by two large red curtains that she could draw to lock herself away, looked over the court gardens, and it was here that Beatrix would go when she had nothing else pressing, and would spend an hour or two reading a book of poetry, or writing her diary. Here, she could be sure of being undisturbed.
The only other two people ever to be found there were Carla, her maid, and Quigley, the young librarian.
Quigley's whole life was books – he even looked slightly like one. He had an unassuming, slightly nervous air about him that pleased Beatrix, as she didn't like people who treated her as inferior. He was also tall and gangly, with a small, sharp nose, on which perched precariously a pair of spindly glasses, magnifying his eyes to gargantuan proportions. His skin had the slightly sallow tone of a scholar, and his long, curly, almost furrily frizzy hair was the colour of the parchment he so loved. He was one of the few people Beatrix felt she could trust, even be herself around – although, of course, even with him she showed as little emotion as possible.
Sometimes, she wondered if she was right to lock herself away in such a way. She wondered what people would think of her if she allowed herself to be a human being rather than a strong Lady. But she'd had to become like this to be taken seriously. A young woman, acting as part of the government? Surely not! This was the stigma she'd had to overcome. And this was how she'd done it. That was just how it was.

Once we consumed these delightful things we continued on back to our apartment. After we dropped everything off and my dad did some work we walked to San Marco. From here we then caught a vaporeto along the grand canal to the Accademia bridge. ...

... taking it all in one last time. By this stage Colleen wasn't feeling all that great, so we went back to the hotel to rest some more. We spent the remainder of the evening in our room, we grabbed a quick pizza for dinner. As we had our earliest start to our holiday the following day, a 6am start, we ensured our bags were packed and ready to go. Tomorrow we say goodbye to Venice and Italy, and hello ...
So much to see and so little time!
... Back into the Piazza we see cruise ships sail up the Grand Canal and it reminds us of our earlier adventures. We see all the gondolas and catch the echoes of gondolier singers. So lovely and so romantic. This is a very controlled business with only 450 licences issued.
With the time running out we pass on revisiting the Rialto Bridge and head to our hotel to eat locally. Pizza, pasta and nice wine saw the end of a full day in Venice.
... we explored the streets on the island and went in and out of several glass shop - each time taking years of our lives as the boys were told to "walk carefully" and "don't swing your arms" and "watch where you're going".....all too stressful really. We landed on a nice trattoria called Ai Vetrai where James and Geoff had a two course menu of pasta and main and Hamish and I had a single course. It was a lovely setting right on the small canal and surrounded by glass ...
My stay in Venice

Second Meeting
It seems to be a long day today.
One hour of sleep does not work well when you are a slave. . . .
Especially when you can't sleep due to stress.
I am sorry, Jenna, but if I am out of sorts when you confront me, It's not my fault.. . . .
For the third time this morning in the kitchens, being yelled at for my clumsiness. I am not usually this clumsy to begin with, but still. . .
This time, the subordinate watching me just leaves me alone when I dropped the frying pans. I feel tears coming to my eyes, fatigue begging to overtake me.
No! I refuse. I am not going to fall, not today. I have never been taken to the sick rooms since I became a slave, and I do not plan on it now.
I let the tears fall, more sensing then seeing the figure coming up next to me.
"Paige." a young male voice whispers.
It's the boy! The one I met before, the one with the light colored hair. So it wasn't a dream after all. . . I had given up on him. . .
"You should go to the sick rooms for the day." he whispered as he placed the frying pan away.
"No!" I whisper back, surprised at the fierceness in my voice, but too tired to care. "I'll be fine. I just need an early night's rest."
"You're on the brink of exhaustion, Paige. i know about what happened on the ship, I was there watching. At least promise me that I will not have to save you like this again. Even if I get to see you."
He wanted to see me?
All I see is black . . . . .

Aligning Historic Preservation and Sustainable Design
In a recent debate at the National Building Museum, architect Maria Casarella, Brendan Owens of LEED, and Eleni Reed at the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) explored the "historic preservation vs. sustainable building" battle and emphasized that it sets up a false choice.
There is still tension between these two goals. LEED doesn't yet incorporate historic building criteria, and developers sometimes need to juggle competing priorities. But in some cases historic buildings are actually outperforming new ones (as in energy use), which many developers haven't realized, and a few key building elements (like new windows or geothermal heating) could make old buildings even greener.

To review epidemiologic studies on risk of pancreatic cancer and occupational exposure to diesel exhaust.
A literature search was conducted, and data were abstracted in a systematic fashion. Comparable results were combined using a random-effects meta-analysis.
Twenty-six studies were included in the review, including five studies based on routine statistics, 11 case–control studies [meta-relative risk (RR) of three estimates for diesel exhaust exposure 0.9; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.5, 1.6] and ten cohort studies (meta-RR of their results: 1.03; 95 % CI 0.93, 1.13). Few studies reported results according to duration of exposure or other quantitative measures; no consistent pattern emerged.
The overall evidence from studies on occupational exposure to diesel exhaust and risk of pancreatic cancer leads to the conclusion of the absence of such association.

when driving over 35 mph, a loud noise (humming like) seems to be coming from the front end.
loud noise coming from front end. on 1999 Mercury Sable
(1) Answer
When noise is there and you are not in heavy traffic you can move the steering wheel a little to the left and right and see if noise gets louder. Turn to left will load the right bearing with more vehicle weight and vice versa. That will pinpoint what bearing may be causing noise. Pay attention to change in pitch of noise.

The story as to why a particular boy or girl grabs a gun and enters a school where he/she proceeds to engage in a killing spree is always the same. It NEVER occurs in an urban school. It NEVER is committed by a poor inner city black or Hispanic student. It is always in a suburban school, the school has mainly middle class boys and girls, and the shooter has a mother and father who provide love and support, and the shooter does NOT have a black skin. Of course, where are police located–in schools with black students in urban areas!!
On October 21, 2013, Jose Reyes, a seventh grader was dropped off at school by his mother and within an hour he had killed a teacher and wounded several students. The boy has been studied by psychiatrists who have uncovered hard evidence:
1. Jose was continually bullied in school.
2. He was mocked, accused of being gay and someone who would pee in his pants.
3. His days at school consisted of teasing, humiliation and a growing sense of being inadequate as a person.
4. He did have a speech impediment, and this led to comments about being a "retard" or "stupid."
The real issue is why didn't at least one teacher pick up on this treatment? The real issue is whether the school engages in discussions with students concerning issues of human relations. The real issue is that our schools, our teachers, and our administrators spend their time making students take idiotic tests where they simply recite what has been taught.
School is a place which should provide young people opportunities to explore their minds, to discover new ideas and forge close personal relationships with other people. That is not something one can be tested on!!

Taken for Granted (pt 3)
As Namjoon closed the door behind him, he stood by the entrance, snickering to himself. "Her? Liking me? Wahh" he said silently to himself. He wasn't sure what it was he was feeling now, but he couldn't stop smiling. "As if I'd like her?" he said again to himself.
"Hyung what are you doing by yourself there?" Jungkook asked curiously.
"Huh? Oh nothing" Namjoon said, flustered.
(One week later)
"Hey guys, Y/N isn't coming today! Looks like it's just us tonight" Jin said, filling his voice through the dorm.
"Awh, whyyy" Taehyung asked, coming out of the living room.
"She said she's sick" Jin said with a frown.
"Let's go there then! We can bring her food" Taehyung said, excitedly.
"Yah, if she's sick she should just rest. She can't be taking care of you guys too" Jin scolded.
Taehyung walked back to the living room with his head held down. He was looking forward to watching the movie you two had discussed a few weeks ago, but it looks like it would have to wait another week.
Namjoon meanwhile, listened to everything silently from the dining table. "That's weird, she never falls sick…" he said to himself.
"What's that? Couldn't hear you" Hoseok said, sitting across from him,
"oh, no it's nothing" Namjoon said.

Married couple killed crossing Memorial Drive
ATLANTA - Police say a married couple was killed early Saturday in northeast Atlanta while crossing Memorial Drive.
The victims, Danya Crumbley, 31, and William Crumbley, 33, were crossing Memorial Drive at Hill Street at about 2 a.m. when they were hit by a vehicle.
A family friend spoke to Channel 2's Carl Willis about the family's tragic loss.
"I think that the family wants to have some personal connection to what happened; to be there, to understand to help them deal with what took place," said Dale Preiser.
Atlanta police said the couple was on their way home from a BP gas station when 20-year-old Bryan Butler, of Chicago, crashed into them in the crosswalk. Drugs and alcohol might have been a factor in the accident, police said.
"I think one of the things that impacted the family is the severity of what happened happened last night," Preiser said.
Witnesses said the aftermath of the crash is a sight they won't soon forget. The scene stretches an entire block, Willis said.
Police said Butler was speeding eastbound on Memorial Drive and kept going after hitting the couple.
He lost control at Memorial and Grant Street, where police caught up to him. He and two passengers were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with minor injuries. Witnesses said Butler appeared to be racing another car, a statement that police could not confirm.
Butler, who remains in the Fulton County jail, has been charged with hit and run, homicide by vehicle and reckless driving.
Family friends expressed their sympathy to both the victims and the suspect in the case.
"These are very good families, so my heart just goes out to both of the families and even the young man at this point. I don't know anything about him but if he's a good person this is going to impact him for the rest of his life, too."

Bradford & Bingley, Britain's fifth largest building society, gave the first clue yesterday of how much its planned pounds 50m loyalty bonus to members is likely to cut into earnings, as it announced annual pre-tax profits of pounds 165.6m.
The announcement is the first among societies offering mortgage rate cuts and savings increases to members as part of their defence of mutuality.
Last week, Nationwide Building Society said it was handing back pounds 200m of future earnings to members by cutting mortgage rates to 6.99 per cent.
The decision put rivals - including Halifax, Alliance & Leicester and Woolwich, all of which are planning to float on the stockmarket next year - on the defensive.
But it also means that societies intending to remain mutual, such as Bradford & Bingley, may be forced to go back to the drawing board and give away a further slice of their profits in order to remain competitive.
Last year, Bradford & Bingley's after-tax profits rose by more than 10 per cent to pounds 111.8m - compared with pounds 101.3m in the previous year. Pre- tax profits were up pounds 6m compared to 1994
Geoff Lister, chief executive at Bradford & Bingley, said that the performance underlined the society's financial and strategic strength. Despite difficulties in the housing market, the society increased the amount of its residential mortgage advances by 21 per cent to pounds 1.8bn.
His comments came as another society, Skipton, announced yesterday that its own 1995 pre-tax profits rose by 56 per cent to pounds 27m. Skipton said it has succeeded in cutting the percentage of its borrowers in arrears of 12 months or more to 0.17 of all mortgages, compared to an industry average of 0.81 per cent.
The society, which pioneered free unemployment insurance for borrowers, also added a further 30,000 savers, a 9 per cent increase on 1994.
John Goodfellow, chief executive at Skipton, said his society's results came despite a decision to write off all its mortgage incentives and discounts as already incurred, rather than amortise them over the period of the loan.
Skipton is also preparing its own loyalty bonuses to members. Mr Goodfellow said: "If we were to follow the example of Nationwide we would be handing back profits of pounds 10m in a full year."

Shutting DownMature
Rori dropped her keys among the counter top. Sifting through the mail as Luther took a seat at the bar, shedding her jacket, seconds after she took a seat just across from him. "I suppose you want me start from?"
Luther trailed back...what was the last thing he remembered?
"THEN DO IT!" Kori screamed back at him, rage streaming through her blood. "But I can't get out of you! And you can't get rid of me!"
"The institution, I remember waking up there the night following the day you asked for my painting."
Rori gave him a peculiar look, glancing down at the granite; she folded her hands and drew in a sharp breath. "There is just no way I can tell you all that has happened over the course of six years. I can tell you this; no one knew what happened to Luther Arik. You disappeared off the map for three years. Your mother wouldn't even tell me where you were." Rori swallowed hard, blinking back the tears.
"After our senior graduation you tracked me down, or at least that's what you said. I was a fool for you in high school, so immediately; I dropped everything and married you. Losing you for three years was hard, I admit now, you were my only friend. Like every other love-starved girl in the world...I was head-over-heels for you again." The lump hung in her throat.
"You changed, simply that. You took away everything I thought I knew about you. You were unhappy. But, most rushed marriages don't last so...that was my excuse. I pushed it, I was in love with you...but you know that don't you." Sniveling, Rori wiped a tear from the bridge of her nose. Never had she looked up from the counter top. "Somehow I knew you never wanted to be with me." She raised her head suddenly, shattering his dignity with those heart-broken irises.
"And then, you started to have dreams...nightmares of some sort...and so did I. It began with Kori, and it never ended. She continued to eat away at you. Depression forced me to research demons, devils, fiends...whatever you call them. And Luther," Rori took his hands in hers. "I know you're haunted by her, but we can stop this. With God's help and..."
Luther tore from her grasp. "No, something tells me all these years you weren't following me Rori. Did I tell you nothing about Heaven....Hades?"
"Luther? What are you talking about?"
Luther rose from his seat, whipping around to face her once again, placing his palms flat on the counter. "I saw him Rori, both of them. God, he calls himself Omega, and I'm not sure what Lucifer goes by. It was amazing. But I know in my heart, Omega is not biding in our favor."
"Now you're just being crazy if you really think I'm going to believe you had an out of body experience. I'm not a stupid teenage girl anymore, ok." Rori rose also, taking her dignity with her.
"No, Rori," Luther caught her forearm, winding her around to face him. "You have got to believe me. I know I'm not crazy, it happened."
Rori scolded him with her eyes, her tearing from his grasp. "Then explain to me, just how long were you gone, Luther?"
Swallowing hard Luther took in the sudden insanity. "...A day, maybe."
"Uh huh, and I'm not buying it." Rori turned on her heel and wafted to the living room.
Luther followed her anxiously and leaned over the back of the couch as she fell into the ashen cushions. Without warning, something clicked in his mind. Luther took her neck into his hands, staring dead on into her heeding eyes.
"Chemistry, the day we were watching that video. It wasn't even about chemistry Ror. Don't you remember? Mr. Hartzler was so angry with us because no one could tell him what the c stood for in E=mc squared. Don't you see it Rori, anything that travels the speed of light is not aging at all. Time is standing still."
"And as for Kori, she pulled me into that dominion. I was meant to have her, to be there, at any cost to me. Six years, you were without me. In six years my mother went crazy." Tears formed in his eyes and Luther was no longer looking into Rori's but past them. "Six years in one day."

BeschreibungThe third volume of Dr Shackleton Bailey's edition of the Atticus letters contains a revised version of the text first published in the Oxford Classical Texts in 1961. Like its predecessors, this volume contains a text and selective apparatus, a translation facing each page of text, a full commentary, and indexes.
InhaltsverzeichnisForeword; Abbreviations; Text and translation; Commentary; Appendices; Indices; Maps.
Pressestimmen'Shackleton Bailey's translation is, one need hardly say, extremely accurate. It serves as a most valuable aid to the understanding of the text and as a complement to the commentary in many passages of particular difficulty ... Shackleton Bailey's commentary may claim a place in the great tradition of commentaries on the Latin prose writers ...

(Nasdaq: WWIN) ("Winner Medical" or the "Company"), a leading China-based exporter and retailer of high-quality medical dressings and consumer products made from 100% cotton, today reported that its board of directors (the "Board of Directors") has received a preliminary, non-binding proposal from its chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Jianquan Li ("Mr. Li"). Mr. Li proposes to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock not currently owned by him and his wife, Ms. Ping Tse, at a proposed price of $4.30 per share in cash as part of a going private transaction. Mr. and Mrs. Li currently beneficially own approximately 73.95% of the Company's common stock. A copy of the text of the proposal letter to the Board of Directors is set forth below. In response, the Board of Directors formed a special committee of independent directors, consisting of Messrs.

But there was properly no note of triumphalism in the prime minister's press conference yesterday, or in President Clinton's. This is anyway not a triumph. It is the right and just outcome to the cause on which the allies embarked 11 weeks ago. But it has taken far more time, eliminated many thousands more lives, and inflicted far more dreadful damage than they could have expected when they began it. And the process of reconstruction which follows could have its desperate moments too.
Much, as is always the case on such occasions, has been left for subsequent resolution. Though Russia has assented to the settlement, influential figures there still dispute it. The division of Kosovo into five sectors, as set out in yesterday's Guardian, and the tangled network of command designed to ensure that the Russians take no direct orders from Nato, are full of potential for further tension. There is always the worry here that the lines on this map might solidify into a form of partition: an outcome which Milosevic may now see as his best available bet, and certainly as one worth plotting for.
There is also the danger, graphically described in yesterday's Guardian by Daniel Williams of the Washington Post, of whole new movements of people: of an exodus, as the ethnic Albanians return, of Serbs seeking safety. The danger there is likely to be less of revenge on the part of the Kosovo Liberation Army - whose leaders, hoping to make their case for eventual independence, can be expected to call for restraint - than of the freelance operations which are hard to prevent in such conditions of turmoil, especially in the light of what the ethnic Albanians, returning to ruined homes and ruined communities, are likely to feel.
And then there is Milosevic, the architect of this historic calamity, and now an indicted war criminal. His subject media have been hailing the resolution of the war as a triumph for him and his people. It is too soon to say how many will be fooled. However obedient his media, the truth is likely to spread that he could have had terms not substantially unlike these by settling at Rambouillet. Certainly the devastation brought on themselves and their country can hardly be sold as a price worth paying for such minor concessions as he has now extracted. Clearly the ideal outcome is for his fate to be settled, in the first instance, by the Serbs, but that leaves open the question as to whether pressure can be applied by the allies to make that outcome more likely. It is a delicate choice. To deny them help in the huge and as yet largely unplanned work of repairing the economic and structural damage sustained in this war would seem inhumane and likely to feed the inevitable legacy of bitterness. Yet, as the prime minister continues to argue, the threat of withholding aid is perhaps the most potent device the west can use to engineer his removal.
There is also the certainty that the allied presence will be needed for many years, and will pile expense on expense on a scale which may in time tax the patience of western electorates. Any peace is better than any war. This peace, such as it is, is far better than continuing war. But no one should underestimate the difficulties and dangers of the process which starts today.

It's hard to believe it was 70 years ago.
It was 1944. WWII was in full swing, but battle fronts were far from U.S. shores.
Along with my parents and younger brother Walter, I lived in the safety and tranquility of suburban Long Island.
But tranquility is not the stuff of nine-year-old play.
Without TVs, computer games or smart phones, we amused ourselves outdoors—seeking adventure in fields, woods, ponds and treetops—coming home mainly for lunch and dinner.
Our serenity was interrupted from time to time by the Civil Defense air raid drills and blackouts which began in 1942 and continued until the War's end.
We nine-year-olds considered ourselves pros in the arena of Civil Defense.
The morning after a nighttime air raid drill, details of the drill were recounted—or, more often, made up—by our group of friends.
One-upsmanship was a vital ingredient during these morning debriefings.
Because I was a worry wart, my parents assured me that these were simply drills—not the real thing—so I soaked in details as though I were investigating a crime scene in a Nancy Drew novel.
I love the stealthy look of the wartime dark shades that hung in our upstairs windows—just waiting to be yanked down in case of enemy attack.
I carefully inspected the half-moons of black paint on our car's headlights—meant to minimize car headlights during an attack.
One air raid drill stands out in my mind. My younger brother had used the bathroom in the middle of the night and left the light on.
Being sound sleepers, none of us heard the 3 a.m. knock on the door by the local Air Raid Warden.
The next morning my parents received a stern scolding from the Warden who pointed out that ours was the only house in his ward with light glowing from a window.
We felt we'd shirked our duty in the war effort.
As I look back on the innocence of my life in 1944 and the horror of what was going on in the rest of the world, I am humbled.
Now, 70 years later, news on TV brings scenes of bloodshed, suffering and destruction into our living rooms.
Air raid drills have become the real thing—no longer an exercise to be talked over the next morning.
When will we ever make the world a safe place for children?

Hollywood Dirt For May 13
The video seen 'round the world. Security footage surfaced yesterday of Jay Z, Beyonce and her sister Solange getting into an elevator after the Met Gala in New York. Solange than starts the beat down. Punching, kicking, even dropping her purse and letting everything spill with no care. (That's how you know it's serious) Reps for all involved are staying quiet but Aisha Tyler showed up on "Watch What Happens Live' and thinks she knows why it happened:
And if for some reason you haven't seen the video:
Miley Cyrus goes off again and this time she's targeting an ex?! At a recent gig she introduced a song saying, ""So I'm gonna tell those mother[effers] that broke my heart, particularly one, to suck my big d and to enjoy hearing this song for the rest of your life. This song is called 'Wrecking Ball'." Is that particular one Mr. Liam Hemsworth?

Hawaii News — Mobile App Developer Coding for Context Epimethean Software Group
You might say that Darren Schmidt, like many living on Hawai'i Island, wears a variety of hats — metaphorically speaking. Besides his tried and true favorites as musician, farmer, and teacher, his latest goes by the lofty title: software developer. More accurately, his recent publication of an educational mobile app has most definitely been informed by his cultivation of music, gardens, and students.
Shortly after obtaining an education degree at UH Hilo, Schmidt began a four year stint as an English teacher at the prestigious Seiko Gakuin High School in Yokohama. This was the beginning of what has now been a twenty year career in teaching English as a Second Language. These days he teaches ESL at United Hawaii College in Hilo, Hawaii. "At UHC we teach students from a school in Saitama prefecture named Urawajitsugyo High School. UJHS is a large private high school and one of the unique attributes of the school is that it operates a school in Hilo as a very unique and special supplement to the students' education. During their third year in high school, the students come to Hawaii Island to stay in Hilo for nearly two weeks as part of an English language/Hawaiian cultural immersion. It's a rather profound experience for these young people and sharing in their energy and enthusiasm is a real benefit of the job."
Fostering enthusiastic participation and promoting meaningful expression is a big part of Schmidt's work as an instructor at UHC. "I try to provide a very creative space for the students to express themselves within. With small class sizes and being situated on a gorgeous property above Hilo Bay, we all benefit from this lovely environment" says Schmidt with a sort of whimsical look. A big part of Schmidt's pedagogical tools is his ever-present ukulele. Although diminutive in size, the ukulele is, in his estimation, one of the best tools available for teaching many aspects of expression. "Besides the pretty music that an ukulele can make, it also seems to succeed as such an unassuming instrument" Schmidt says smiling. "I tend to get the students singing through some subtle and not so subtle techniques. The song's key, it's melody, and a bunch of other less obvious details are required to get the typical seventeen year old student to chime in with their sometimes unsure voices." "When I show up with this tiny concert-sized ukulele that I play, they seem to not really know if I'm just kidding or what. That really helps in establishing the attitude that we are all onto something new so we might as well go for it!" "I'm sure the vibe would be different if my chosen instrument were, say, the Hammond organ" laughs Schmidt.
According to Schmidt, the unifying quality that is necessary to his students learning, or anyone for that matter, can be summed up in one word: context. Without it, he says, you are fighting a losing battle. "Contextual learning — and by that I mean learning within our living, local, historical, and planetary context — without context, we introduce more and more fragmentation into our lives." "In the past five years alone, it's abundantly clear that the advent of smartphones and tablets is a profound change in how we transmit all sorts of information. It doesn't show any signs of receding regardless of how we might regard it. From my experiences with better and worse approaches to curriculum, I definitely had a concept for an application that I felt was appropriate to the task of teaching context. However, I had quite a learning curve to scale in order to fulfill my vision. A lot of traditional programming is rather abstract. What influenced my workflow was the maturation of the Android OS devices which are inherently a little more open-source. But what really helped me was the emergence of a software development kit (SDK) that was initially supported by Google and is now hosted by the Center for Mobile Computing at MIT. It's called App Inventor and it uses a drag-and-drop graphical interface that seemed to be a good match for my skills and approach to software coding."
The end result of his effort is now for sale on the Google Play Store, Amazon App Store,Samsung Apps, as well as at several other stores that sell Android apps. It's calledTopicMatch, as in TopicMatch: the text phrase matching game about people, places, nature, arts, and science, to borrow its promotional line. Schmidt's happy with how it turned out overall. "I had to learn how to invent this thing that I envisioned as a sort of springboard for actual human discussion, or at least to promote thought beyond crushing candy or killing zombies or what not. Basically, how TopicMatch works is, you select one of 36 onboard topics. Then you study the seven pairs of matched phrases, and when you tap the GAME button all of the 14 phrases are shuffled and you choose a number from a grid of 14 numbers that hide the phrases. Then you try to choose the number of the matching phrase. Obviously, phrases need to be constructed so as to unambiguously match just one other phrase. Yes/no questions need to be used sparingly. So it's a memory game — like so many of the match games that match pictures or words. However, matching phrases up to 60 characters long means that you can actually study and memorize a lot of meaningful content."
"TopicMatch is meant to require some dialogic thinking. As the educator Paulo Freire expressed so well: without dialogue, you simply don't have critical-thinking. It's key to our hope, our love, our humanity — an 'existential necessity' as he put it. To this end, TopicMatch is probably never going to garner the popularity of the latest high-tech mesmerizing game. TopicMatch is maybe sort of a quixotic effort to promote conversation. An app with such an intention is perhaps a paradox, but if we're gonna buy into these devices as the new textbooks, we'd better consider critical-thinking, and that means discussion. I've recently set up an online server for the game, and now users of TopicMatch can create their original TopicSets of seven pairs of matched phrases — in whatever language they want to — and then store them in the cloud using unique ID tags. This means that groups of learners can download, edit, upload, and collaborate on topics that are relevant to the context of their unique and diverse learning environments."
"Beyond these aims, it also seems to me that folks interested in so-called cognitive memory training might want to check it out. I've played it a bunch in testing and it's sort of interesting to observe how one's memory works…or doesn't. One curious example is that, while I might often go through with selecting a certain number, there seems to be a quicker 'hunch-awareness' that realizes the incorrectness of my choice even though my 'monkey-hand' goes through with the motion. It's kind of weird that way."
TopicMatch Free is the free version of TopicMatch. Schmidt admits that TopicMatch is downloaded considerably less than the free version. "Of the several thousand downloads of the free version, something like 3/4 of the downloads are to places where English is not the primary language. In some ways TopicMatch Free has its own unique qualities. It has 10 onboard topics that I sort of tailored to some of the context of the students' lives and my life here in Hawaii. It's got some basic English conversation study, stuff about Hawai'i including ukulele, and it even has a topic meant to explain about how the app was created. Most recently, I added a feature that allows for downloading of any available topic from the cloud including any of the 36 topics from the paid version. I tried to really take some time and effort to craft topics with rich context and plenty of room for expansion in a study setting. The limitation with the free version is that you can not edit nor publish topics to the cloud. However, one teacher could buy the $1.50 version, and students could all download the teacher's topics on their free versions. I'm not necessarily the shrewdest businessman, but to me, it seems like a real open-ended learning tool that doesn't cost very much. I'm also quite adamant about keeping in-app purchases or ads entirely out of TopicMatch",says Schmidt.
TopicMatch requires some thought and reading by the user — and leadership by a teacher when using it in the classroom. ("I bought a 7′ Android tablet with an HDMI-output for $130. When you hook TopicMatch up to a large TV screen, you've got a learning tool that can be a lot of fun AND completely customizable depending on the subject-matter you want to explore with it." adds Schmidt.) However, like some of the go-to textbooks he's used over the years, a certain flexibility and adaptability to varying contexts makes for a learning tool well worth having as an option for promoting contextual learning.
TopicMatch and TopicMatch Free are educational apps for mobile devices using the Android OS. The Google Play Apps Editorial Board has approved TopicMatch for inclusion in the Google Play for Education program.

If you're taking pictures on your digital camera and just leaving them on your computer, you're missing out on a great new internet trends: picture sharing. Instead of keeping albums on your hard disk, you send them to a website where family, friends and even the world can see your shots.
There are a few excellent sites, and the big players are all in evidence. Hewlett Packard has its own site, Snapfish and last year Yahoo bought Flickr. This month, Etribes, a British weblog and personal website company, is launching a photo album website. "We have identified a potential market of 5 million users in the UK by 2008," says its founder, Simon Grice.
"Photosharing is the tip of the iceberg and we think in the next two to three years the majority of internet users will have a personal website. But for now it's all about simplifying that idea -we've spent more time stripping out unnecessary features rather than putting stuff in." You can sign up now for the service, which starts on 19 July.
There are a swathe of benefits from getting involved with photo sharing sites; for instance, security. Ten years ago, if your house was burgled, you could be sure that the thief wouldn't weigh himself down with the photo albums that were priceless to you, but worthless to him. Now, though, if digital snaps are saved on your laptop's hard drive, you can bet they're vulnerable. Sending your pictures to a website's servers solves this problem. Be warned, though: some sites eventually delete these pictures, or at least the accounts that access them, if you don't visit frequently enough, so it's worth keeping a backup on CDs as well.
As for convenience, if you're tired of having to drag pictures of your newborn into countless e-mails, clogging inboxes everywhere, how much simpler it is to set up a album online and just paste the address into one mass message. Relatives who prefer actual photos can often order prints directly from the site. Should you choose to let anyone see your pictures, you become part of an online community who can give you feedback, like an amateur photography club.
And if you think some of your pictures are worthy of publication, put it to the test by sending them to one of the sites that offer to sell them for you, and give you a share of the cash. Sites like www. scoopt.com, for instance, ask you to send in photos so they can be sold to print media. If they get a sale, you get half the cash. Other sites to help you make money from your David Bailey skills include www.foto libra.com and www.istockphoto.com, which claims to be "the world's largest collection of member-generated royalty-free images at the world's best prices".
Photo sharing sites have another function, too. A year ago, in the hours after the 7 July bombings, many people turned to such web pages to get their first images of the day. If you've taken an image of something topical, it's a way of getting it out there quickly.
Bear in mind though, that space is never infinite so if you the site you opt for has limits it may be worth resizing the images. The highest-resolution shots can take up 2MB of space or more, but if you're not planning to print from the images on site, you're safe reducing them using the site's software to a much smaller size - onscreen the difference won't be noticed.
If you need one final incentive, you could enter Flickr's Blink of an Eye competition - five winners will have their photographs exhibited in a New York gallery next month. But you'll have to hurry - the competition ends today.
