recommend this hotel
This hotel had great comfort and features. It is close to the venues we were going to Fenway Park and the Boston Marathon.
The only down side on our stay was when the restaurant got busy there was not enough help.
I would not let that determine your stay. Staff was courteous and extremely attentive.

"The Wire" is the sixth episode of the first season of the HBO original series, The Wire, the titular episode of the series. The episode was written by David Simon from a story by David Simon & Ed Burns and was directed by Ed Bianchi. It originally aired on July 7, 2002.
Plot summary[edit]
The street[edit]
The episode opens on the bloody mutilated corpse of Brandon (Omar Little's boyfriend and partner in crime) atop a car. Wallace wakes up nearby in his squatter apartment and goes through his routine of readying several children in his charge for school. The police arrive in the neighborhood and as Poot Carr and Wallace leave the house they recognize Brandon's body. Across town, D'Angelo Barksdale dresses at home while Shardene makes him breakfast. They discuss their blossoming relationship and D'Angelo reveals that he believes that all women come with a cost, particularly his other girl Donette.
Wallace expresses his anguish at seeing Brandon's corpse to D'Angelo. D'Angelo unsympathetically reminds Wallace that he knew what would happen to Brandon, and reminds him that killing is part of "the game" of drug dealing in Baltimore. Stringer tells D'Angelo they are bringing Bodie home following his recent arrests. At a court hearing, Maurice Levy lies to defend Bodie's actions and the judge allows Bodie to go free with the condition of twice-weekly phone calls to a probation officer. Herc and Carver later pick up Bodie, believing him to have absconded from custody a second time and are surprised that he managed to get released with a home supervision order.
Avon, Stringer, and Stinkum visit the low rises and deliver reward money to D'Angelo and Wallace for their part in finding Brandon; Avon also tells D'Angelo that Wee-Bey and Bird killed Brandon. D'Angelo assures Stringer that there are no snitches in his crew. Avon tells D'Angelo that if he keeps working well he will receive "points on the package" soon.
D'Angelo, still withholding payment from the low-rise crew, finds his lookout, a girl named Cassandra, with groceries. She reveals she has been conspiring with Sterling to steal small amounts of drugs and sell them on the side. In order to protect them from punishment, he reassigns them elsewhere and tells nobody, save Wallace.
With Johnny released from medical care, Bubbles returns to the streets. The pair runs a short con to steal copper pipes, which they sell to a contractor at "30 cents a foot" to make their next drug purchase. Bubbles and Johnny then plan to steal the same copper pipes back from the site the contractor is working on. When Johnny goes out to buy more drugs, he is arrested. Bubbles remarks upon Johnny's bad luck.
The police[edit]
Detective Jimmy McNulty meets with Major William Rawls and Sergeant Jay Landsman. Rawls tells McNulty he expects him to finish up the detail and be back in the homicide division in a week's time, which McNulty has no intention of doing. Rawls goes through the ballistics link to the old cases McNulty and Bunk had been investigating. Pressured by Rawls, Landsman orders Bunk to charge the cases. McNulty, Greggs and Freamon meet with Bunk to discuss the impact on the Barksdale investigation. They expect issuing charges will prompt Avon Barksdale to change his operations structure and negate all their work. Rawls refuses to shift his position even when Daniels asks him to do it as a favor, but Daniels convinces Deputy Commissioner Burrell to overrule Rawls. Rawls responds by asking Detective Santangelo to keep him informed of anything that McNulty does that might be used against him.
In the detail office, Lester Freamon notes the high level of pager activity the previous night. The new wire taps on the project pay phones legally require officers to monitor them; Thomas "Herc" Hauk is dismayed that this will mean long hours of surveillance work. Freamon is angry at his co-workers' laziness and asks what they expected when they joined the detail. After Stinkum chastises Bodie for using his name on the phone, Freamon explains to Prez that the call should be marked "pertinent" because it is evidence of conspiracy, even without providing hard evidence of drugs. Polk stumbles in, drunk at 9AM, and Daniels berates him for his poor performance, ordering him to either get to work or check into medical for alcohol abuse. To Daniels' dismay, Polk chooses the latter.
Detectives Vernon Holley and Ed Norris are working Brandon's murder. McNulty discusses the potential link to the Barksdale organization. The detectives complain about waiting for the crime lab because both available units are investigating the theft of patio furniture from a politically influential city council president. McNulty gets a call from Omar while minding his sons - he is forced to bring them along to the station with Omar. The two play with a soccer ball and a handheld video game while McNulty takes Omar downstairs to see Brandon's body. On seeing his lover's body, Omar screams, which the boys hear. Omar comes with Greggs and McNulty to the detail. Greggs points out that Brandon was tortured before his death. Freamon fits the pattern of pager activity to Omar's description of Brandon's movements. McNulty is angry that they were unable to use the information, complaining that they are continually one step behind. Freamon and McNulty interview the arcade owner and Freamon matches the nearby pay phone to the one used the night before. Greggs continues to interview Omar and he offers to act as a witness in the Gant murder case. The episode ends with the police photographs of Brandon's mutilated corpse on Daniels' desk.[1][2][3]
Title reference[edit]
The title repeats the show's own title, indicating that the series has truly begun, and refers to the wiretap devices used to monitor phone calls made by the Barksdale organization.
... and all the pieces matter.— Freamon
Freamon uses this phrase to describe the importance of the individual calls recorded by their wiretap device to Prez. Simon has also described it as referring to the need for the viewer to concentrate on all aspects of the show to follow the plot.[4] Additionally, this can be connected to the continuing theme of the chess board used throughout the show, signifying that even the most insignificant people can change everything. The phrase was later used as the title of the program's official soundtrack, And All the Pieces Matter.
Starring cast[edit]
Although credited, Deirdre Lovejoy does not appear in this episode.
This episode is one of the few in which the soundtrack features non-diegetic music. In a slow motion sequence (also a rarity) featuring Avon, Stringer and Stinkum in the low-rises, a piece called "Wax Box Music" by Florian Mosleh is played.[5] Usually only season finales feature music not emanating from an on-screen source.
The selection playing during the final scene, where Daniels advises McNulty that he has managed to buy them some time, is 'Fleurette Africaine' performed by Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and Max Roach, which appears on their album Money Jungle recorded in 1962.
First appearances[edit]
This episode marks the first appearance of homicide Detectives Ed Norris and Vernon Holley, seen investigating the death of Brandon. Ed Norris is played by former Baltimore Police Commissioner Ed Norris; the character's personality is based on the real Norris, but his history is entirely different from his portrayor's. According to Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets, there was actually an African-American detective in the Baltimore Police Department homicide division named Vernon Holley.
Also seen for the first time is Sean McNulty, the oldest son of Jimmy and Elena McNulty.

Removing Screws With Stripped Heads
You did it...you stripped out the Phillips screw that holds your taillight on, and now you're kinda screwed. Here's a simple solution: Grab your favorite rotary tool and turn that Phillips head into a flat head. I use the standard grinding disc that most rotary tools come with. I suppose a cutoff tool with a thin profile would work as well.
The existing hole in the screw acts as a guide. Once you get the slot started, make sure to move the tool back and forth—you don't want a slot with a curved bottom. Also, try to hold the tool as perpendicular to the head as possible. If you grind the slot at an angle, you'll end up with another stripped-out screw head.
As always, let the tool do the work: Don't push too hard or the grinding wheel will want to jump out of the slot, or you'll break the bit. And don't overgrind—on one occasion, I ground too deep and the screw head split in half when I tried to loosen it.
There's no guarantee that you won't need to resort to more drastic methods of screw extraction, but this simple trick has saved me a dozen times.

Jagan: Women...
I unlocked the front door and walked in. I sighed as I tossed my coat to the side, "Stupid garage door opener." I muttered to myself, "It just had to blow up with the car, didn't it?"
I fell on my bed and sighed, Bethany West... I thought.
Suddenly, I shuttered, Wait, was I just thinking about women?! Yeah right! I don't have time to get into a relationship, not now. Not again.
I thought back to the time I had a wife, Then that piece of crap left me. Grabbed as much of my money as she could, and took off.
Women...so complicated.
I stood up and stripped down to my underwear, I better get some sleep.
I got in bed and started to sleep.
Bethany West. The name zipped back into my head. I lifted my head, "Why did she have to be so pretty?" I said, almost shouting.
I laid my head back down and started to sleep.
Luckily, I got Bethany out of my mind and began to sleep.
Unfortunately, my thoughts of Bethany weren't over. I had a dream:
Bethany and me were at a restaurant, eating some spaghetti. Suddenly, this four hundred pound guy walks up and tries to grab her, I flip out my gun and shoot him.
Next thing I know I'm in jail. Just my luck.
I woke up, it was 12:00 P.M. "Just my luck."

Tasty But Frugal School Lunches
The season has come to start planning school lunches again, and whether last year's ideas have grown boring or your budget has had to downsize, it's time to look for school lunches that are as tasty and new as they are cheap.
Here are some of the best, and matched with coupons from Ebates, your budget is in good hands.
Chicken and Cheese Kabobs – The brilliance of kabobs is that they allow you to mix and match different foods, and products bought in bulk can be minimized into great meals. Purchase a block of cheese and dice it into squares, then fry up a chicken breast and chop it into small portions, and all you need now is to skewer them on a stick. Both chicken and cheese store well, so you can make several kabobs from a single purchase, making the cost of each individual meal as little as $2.
Peanut Butter and Banana Wraps – Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches can be boring, and those extra sugary jams your kids like aren't necessarily healthy. Upgrade your child's meal to something more tasty and healthy without upgrading the price by lathering a tortilla with peanut butter, slicing a banana in half, and then wrapping one of the slices in the tasty wrap. The other half can be used in the next lunch, and altogether, you can make each meal for as little as a dollar, with the supplies lasting longer. Your child will get more protein and potassium, and lunch will be more unique.
Soup Thermoses – Campbell's theme is "possibilities" for a reason, and some good old soup never goes out of fashion. With options ranging from chicken noodle to mushroom to tomato, you can pick the perfect flavor to suit your child's tastes and eating habits, put it in a thermos, and have a super easy lunch your child can eat anywhere. Canned soup can store forever and be bought for almost pennies, making it hugely frugal, especially at stores such as Walmart, which offers Cash Back. Include crackers in the lunchbox for dipping options or cheese slices to add some extra taste to the meal.
Cucumber and Cream Cheese Sandwiches – It may not sound like much, but cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches are simple to make, low in cost, and depending on your flavor choices, can taste amazing. All that's needed is to chop up some slices of cucumbers, add them to your child's favorite kind of bread, and then lather each piece with some flavored cream cheese. If you include a cookie cutter in the lunchbox, your kid can then trim away the crust and dip the sandwich it in the thermos of soup for a well-balanced and easy lunch.
Egg and Sausage Kabobs – What's wrong with breakfast for lunch? The morning's breakfast can be lunchtime's money saver. Dice up parts of a hardy omelet, slice up some pieces of sausage, and skewer them on a stirring stick with a few chunks of pineapple, fresh strawberries, pieces of banana, olives, or all of the above. Now you have a nutritional meal that is well balanced and extremely cost effective.
Impromptu Mini Pizzas – When you hear pizza, you probably don't think "frugal." However, this recipe allows your child to have a tasty slice of Italy, custom made by them, and custom made to fit your budget. All you need are some crackers or pita bread, tomato sauce (you can even use ketchup for extra savings), some cheese sticks, and a few slices of pepperoni. If your child likes extra punch to their pizza, olives or pineapple slices are super cheap when bought canned, and all in all, these ingredients can stretch over multiple meals while giving your child the freedom (and you the free time) to build their own lunches. When you purchase these supplies in bulk from Sam's Club with coupons from Ebates and Cash Back, you can save even more.
Pro Tip: Don't Be Afraid to Use Leftovers! Frugal and tasty lunches are about being creative, and since you already have the food in the house and the meal was definitely tasty enough to enjoy once, why not enjoy it twice? Recycle leftovers from last night's dinner to make your child's school lunch basically for free! Pack up some extra pasta in a Tupperware and pair it with fresh fruit, or chop up some pieces of meat patties with a side of strawberries for a sweet and cheap meal.

Lace: On the docks
After Odael made plans with a captain of another ship, I sat on the docks thinking to myself looking at the Medallion that appeared on me last night. The voice echoing through my brain as if it hollow and capable of one though, "Piece by piece you remember important bits of you life leading to how very different you are."
"If I am different, then why do I look the same? Maybe I should be doing something different. Maybe I am not supposed to be fighting with my current comrades? No, that I am sure is right, but what makes me different?" I ask out loud sitting on the dock my legs hanging over the water. I look at my right hand which held the medallion as if it were turning into a demon's arm.
"Huh your old man die around your house?" An older man says looking like he is on his last few days of life sitting beside me.
"No, this is mine." I say.
"No way can that be yours , that things a tradition abandoned at least 50 years ago." He says angry at me.
"Well I'm different. I woke up a few days ago to a new world, with a voice in my hand that sounds like a curse." I explain.
"Ai, in my time magic was pretty plentiful lots of good soldiers that seemed to defy death,went missing most of them appeared in later years there minds broken. We just figured they couldn't handle the pressure, that they seemed to shrug off so easily."
"I see." I said wishing I could name the place I had been when the shadows engulfed me in my dream.
"Let me see that Medallion." The man grumbles taking it off my hand.
"Yeah just the basic garbage about duty, and then something I can't read," he flips it over, a face of shock on his face.
"That division! This can't exist she! Sh, e she she, Killed everyone and crushed everything to ash!" He says like he had seen a ghost he gets up trying to get far away from me but I cut him off.
"How long ago was this?"
"When I was a kid, boy. If I where you I would toss that medallion away its linked to her the one who vowed on bringing sorrow and darkness upon us!"
"What happened to her?"
"Defeated, but of course as soon as she was defeated Uakor showed up."
"What's her name?" I pleaded like my life was on the line.
" I can't remember no one can, because they don't want to." He brushes past me. I dare not trouble the older man anymore. I looked at the medallion.
"Am I evil?" I ask myself, I replied with a no but I still felt unsure of myself. I walk back to the others the unease clearly showing on my face as I sat down, Jevin however didn't notice because he seemed quite irritated by something, probably something Valour did, but Alexican quickly noticed as she walked over.
"You don't usually wear a face like that. What troubles you?"
"My dreams, and this." I say showing her the Medallion.
"Why do they trouble you?" She presses on.
"They seem to link me to something or someone evil." I say bitterly getting up," An old man saw this and said it was linked to a division that was crushed to nothingness, and he got scared saying something about this evil woman, or something that was a female. He could not remember her name, he said no one can because they don't want to."
"So I ask myself am I evil? Because she was in my dream, she said she was going to change me." I say feeling better I told someone else but my confidence still wavered.
"Well you don't strike me as evil, or dark. I think you should put aside your fears, besides if you fear being evil that means you're good. That is seems to make sense anyways." Alexican says as a crowd surrounds Valour, Guessing he did something incredibly stupid again, I investigate still feeling the unease in my stomach but keeping it off my face.
"Why thank you, you people are the only true people who can see me for what I am actually." Valour says sounding smug when usually he would be cowering.
"Yes this man has done many noble things in the name of the people." A burly man says. I find Jevin quickly.
"Has this town gone insane?"
"You won't believe what started this, he saved a cat a while back. Simple minded fools." He mumbled.
"Ha ha well its probably better than making a soldier hero. You seem pretty angry. What happened while I was gone?"

Investigators Looking for Suspect in Sacramento Homicide
Sacramento police detectives are working on solving a homicide that happened yesterday just before noon on Pebblewood Drive.
They say officers went to a reported shooting and found a victim who'd been shot several times.
The Sacramento Fire Department rushed the 39-year-old victim to the hospital where he later died from the bullet wounds.
The suspect is believed to have run off moments after the shooting, and investigators say they don't have a motive for this shooting.
They'd like you to call Crime Alert if you have any tips for police at 916-443-HELP.

Moderate exercise leads to decreased expression of β1 and β2 integrins on leucocytes
DOI: 10.1007/s004210050234
- Cite this article as:
- Jordan, J., Beneke, R., Hütler, M. et al. Eur J Appl Physiol (1997) 76: 192. doi:10.1007/s004210050234
Intravascular adhesion of leucocytes plays a role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic vascular disease. Regular aerobic exercise seems to protect against vascular disease. Since leucocyte adhesion is mediated by integrins, we tested the hypothesis that surface expression of the integrin adhesive receptors LFA-1 (cd11a/cd18), MAC-1 (cd11b/cd18), gp 150/95 (cd11c/cd18), and VLA-4 (cd29/cd49) is decreased by moderate endurance exercise. Surface expression of integrins was measured by FACS analysis in 19 healthy subjects (16 males, 3 females, 36.6 ± 8.7 years, 177.1 ± 7.5 cm, 70.3 ± 8.1 kg) before and after submaximal exercise (3 h run) using monoclonal antibodies against cd11a, cd11b, cd11c, cd18, cd29 and cd49. In addition, we compared resting integrin expression in this group with a group of sedentary subjects (19 males, 6 females, 29.3 ± 5.3 years). White blood cell count increased from 5300 ml–1 to 9740 ml–1 during exercise (P<0.001). Nevertheless, the expression (indicated by the mean log fluorescence) of cd11a (94 ± 24 vs. 78 ± 14) and cd18 (128 ± 31 vs. 102 ± 21) on lymphocytes and of cd11a (104 ± 25 vs. 85 ± 16), cd11c (497 ± 171 vs. 408 ± 126) cd29 (109 ± 16 vs. 89 ± 16), cd49 (69± 8 vs. 54 ± 11) on monocytes was decreased after exercise (all P<0.05). In contrast, integrin expression on granulocytes was not altered by exercise. Comparison of exercising and sedentary subjects showed a significantly decreased expression of integrins in exercising subjects. Our results demonstrate that moderate exercise leads to decreased expression of integrin receptors on leucocytes. This decreased expression of adhesion molecules may result in decreased adhesion and infiltration of leucocytes into the vessel wall. This phenomenon may play a role in the beneficial effect of moderate exercise in prevention of acute and chronic vascular disease.

Let Go - Poem by Brandon Shutter
Stop looking back my friend
instead look ahead -
Look forward to the future
and let go of the past.
Let old memories go –
empty your mind and you will see
that with time new ones will grow
your mind a ship at sea.
Look to the future -
and love like it'll last
Dream like they'll last forever
a never ending chance.
Look to the future -
and look up at the stars.
For where you are right now,
is just another test.
This world has zero limits
and nothing is stopping you.
Be proud of who you are,
and own those battle scars.
Say no more lies my friend,
no more disguised truths.
For this is a new life
and the only limit is you.
Look only to the future
the world is your crystal ball.
Let go of the past my friend,
and see the world in awe.

Konami released the first screens and a bit of the musical score for its upcoming game Silent Hill: Downpour on Monday afternoon.
The screens show the game's main character Murphy Pendleton, a convict whose prison bus has the good fortune to run off the road and crash… in the nothing-bad-ever-happens-there town of Silent Hill. The screens take place in The Diner and The Devil's Pit. I'm assuming we can tell which environment is in each screen, although I have been in some pretty seedy diners, personally.
The Silent Hill series has always been famous for its music, and to that end, Konami has released a 90-second snippet of the game's soundtrack to whet fans' appetites. The music is composed by Daniel Licht, who wrote the music for the TV series Dexter.
Downpour will be available in fall 2011 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Blue sky on a dull day
Today is dull, there's a glimpse of blue out, it's cold, there's a chilly wind blowing.
Blue sky and fluffy clouds in Kerry while on holiday. Great memories.

November 22, 2007
Very nice Donncha, I like the vast sky and the diagonal line of grass through the bottom part. It would have been extra nice if those clouds had move away from the lifebelt holder a little more, but that's a minor point.
Seen in your Kerry set. (?)
November 22, 2007
Thanks Pete! Good point about the cloud. I find myself rushing through photography these days however. My wife, Jacinta and our son in his buggy were waiting patiently for me and I do the best I can with the time I have.
TBH, I never had the patience to wait more than a few minutes for a shot to compose itself. Too much rushing about I guess!

Infinity Coil(2015)
(The second book in the Ehrich Weisz Chronicles series)
A novel by Marty Chan
Ehrich Weisz, Demon Hunter was introduced to steampunk fans in Demon Gate. Now, he is continuing his increasingly desperate quest to rescue his brother in an alternate universe in the sequel, Infinity Coil. Now a fugitive from Demon Watch, young Ehrich Weisz hides in the underbelly of an alternate New York where immigrants from other dimensions mingle among Americans. Amid growing racial tensions, Ehrich searches for Kifo, the man who stole his brother's mind and locked it inside an ancient medallion. He poses as a stage magician to draw out Kifo's next target - the commissioner of Demon Watch. In the wings, an army awaits Kifo to accomplish his mission so inter-dimensional soldiers can invade New York. Ehrich is willing to risk the outbreak of war to save his brother, but he must decide whether or not he can betray his friends.

Junk science was one of your bugbears? You are concerned about the quality of evidence and experts?
I think its essential that people who bring their problems to the court go away, particularly if they lose, confident that the court has understood what the problem is and therefore have reached a rational conclusion, however much they might disagree with it.
In scientific matters, I did a lot of work in intellectual property when there was scientific evidence led – sometimes in easy and sometimes in difficult issues of science. In some cases, the science was unsettled, but the judge has to make a decision. Where scientists fear to tread, the judge has to say, as far as I'm concerned, this is the answer.
I think it's important that the courts appreciate that the adversarial system may not be the best way of getting at scientific proof by having two experts stand up, a month apart, and give totally contradictory views of what the science says. It puts the judge in an extremely difficult position.
There was a great case in England where the judge was confronted with, I think, tranquillizers. Two great fat reports were written in algebra. A judge who had spent his entire life doing car crashes came down on one side and was denounced by the entire scientific community, including Lancet, the medical journal, for having totally messed up. Well, was it the judge's fault? I don't think so. I don't think it was presented to the judge in a way the judge could digest and reach a reasoned conclusion.
But I think its the responsibility of the judges to say: 'Look, if you're not spontaneously going to come up with a way of presenting this information in digestible form, then we are going to have a pre-trial seminar; we are going to have the experts in the room and I'm going to get the lawyers out of the room, and we're going to have a discussion about what the science is all about. Then, you are going to tell me what is the narrow range of disagreement. Where is the real problem here?' And then we will go into court and argue about it. We'll put all the defendants experts and all the plaintiffs experts in the box at the same time, and they can have a giant argument in front of me. I guarantee you that the experts will be much more circumspect when they have Dr. So-and-so with an opposing point of view sitting next to them, rather than if they know that Dr. So-and-so isn't going to come to the trial for another month.
In other words, you have to bring about this collision of perspectives in a way that is clear to the judge that's clear what the problem is, and then the judge can resolve us.
As it is now, in some of these patent cases like ones I was involved in, the judge said: 'Well, I believed such and such an expert because he gave his answers in a straightforward way and he wasn't shifty-eyed.' That's the way you might describe a witness to a car crash, but it has absolutely nothing to do with whether the expert was talking rubbish or not.
At the court, we had a very interesting day a while ago – a day on nanoscience. This was arranged through somebody, a physicist. A number of nanoscientists got together to describe what they are doing, including a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. It just blew us away what these people are doing. This had nothing to do with a particular case.
We ought to open up our horizons and learn what the rest of the world is up to. We had a Nobel Prize-winning physicist talking about quantum mechanics and quantum computers and how you can actually construct subatomic particles to facilitate, for example, medical procedures to prevent scar tissue from forming using nano technology.
I think all of us were stunned at the contrast between the complexity of what they do and what we do. Here we are, wheeling around in mortgage remedies, yet these guys are holed up in laboratories at the absolute frontiers of human knowledge. There are going to be patents on nano technology that are going to be in dispute and come before the court, and the contending parties will want to believe that the judges understand what their issue is.Report Typo/Error

Restaurant Workers and Bartenders Working to Repeal Glove Law
Restaurant workers and bartenders will be gathering at a local establishment this morning. But they're not there to talk food or libations; they're working to repeal a law.
Assembly Heath Committtee Chair Dr. Richard Pan is meeting with restaurant industry leaders as they work to urge the Senate to pass a bill that will repeal California's ban on hand-to-food contact.
It's called the Glove Law, and it has barred chefs, bartenders and other restaurant employees from handling ready-to-eat foods with their bare hands.
Many say the gloves create a false sense of security for workers who normally would wash their hands between different tasks, but continue to wear the same gloves.
Kimio Bassett is co-owner of Hook and Ladder and The Golden Bear and says of the bill:
"It doesn't work. Any chef that's actually worked hands on in the kitchen that gloves are kind of gross. At the end of the day, people don't change them enough, they run out, all sorts of things can happen inside the gloves, they tear," he said.
The Senate votes on the Assemblyman Pan's bill tomorrow.

Multi-scale effects of habitat loss and fragmentation on lesser prairie-chicken populations of the US Southern Great Plains

Large-scale patterns of land use and fragmentation have been associatedwith the decline of many imperiled wildlife populations. Lesserprairie-chickens(Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) are restricted to thesouthernGreat Plains of North America, and their population and range have declined by> 90% over the past 100 years. Our objective was to examine scale-dependentrelationships between landscape structure and change and long-term populationtrends for lesser prairie-chicken populations in the southern Great Plains. Weused a geographic information system (GIS) to quantify landscape composition,pattern and change at multiple scales (extents) for fragmented agriculturallandscapes surrounding 10 lesser prairie-chicken leks. Trend analysis oflong-term population data was used to classify each population and landscape(declined, sustained). We analyzed metrics of landscape structure and changeusing a repeated measures analysis of variance to determine significant effects(α = 0.10) between declining and sustained landscapes across multiplescales. Four metrics of landscape structure and change (landscape change index,percent cropland, increases in tree-dominated cover types, and changes in edgedensity) contained significant interactions between population status andscale,indicating different scaling effects on landscapes with declining and stablepopulations. Any single spatial scale that was evaluated would not have givencomplete results of the influences of landscape structure and change on lesserprairie-chicken populations. The smallest spatial scales (452, 905, and 1,810ha) predicted that changes in edge density and largest patch sizewere the only important variables, while large-scale analysis (7,238ha) suggested that the amount of cropland, increase in trees(mostly Juniperus virginiana), and general landscapechanges were most important. Changes in landscape structure over the pastseveral decades had stronger relationships with dynamics of lesserprairie-chicken populations than current landscape structure. Observed changessuggest that these local populations may be appropriately viewed from ametapopulation perspective and future conservation efforts should evaluateeffects of fragmentation on dispersal, colonization, and extinction patterns.

MANCHESTER UNITED have announced record financial results - but they are still in debt to the tune of £389.2m.
With new deals being announced on almost a weekly basis, it is no surprise commercial revenues have risen a staggering 29.7% to £152.5m for the year ended June 30, 2013.
It is the most significant rise in an overall 13.4% increase in turnover to a club record of £363.2m.
The club's debt has fallen by 10.9% to £389.2million.

Gretel and Hansel - Page 5
It took them a few hours to get home. They had no problem getting a ride home from a friendly trucker, who they rewarded handsomely. Their reception when they finally reached home was, to say the least, grateful. Their father scooped them up into a huge hug, which was, surprisingly, followed by an even larger one from their stepmother.
They sold their home and moved into a veritable mansion in the country, where they lived carefree, long lives, happily ever after.


text: Prior to entering priviate practice in 2012 I was an Assistant Public Defender (APD) for almost six years. I began my carrer as an APD in Indian River County and after a year moved home to become an APD in Brevard County. I was, and always have been, dedicated to helping those accused of criminal offenses. During all but five months of my time as an APD I was in the felony division handeling everything from murder cases, captial sexual battery, trafficing in illegal substances, gun crimes, and a whole range of other serious felony cases. I have handled numerous Habitual Felony Offender (HFO), Habitual Violent Felony Offender (HVFO), and Prision Releasee Reoffender (PRR) cases. Additionally, I have tried over twenty-five cases and handeld thousands upon thousands of cases during my career. Since my move to private practice and the formation of Wagner & Wagner, P.A., things haven't slowed down much. In fact now in addition to criminal cases I now practice in the area of family law. Even though we stay busy, I find that in private practice I am able to have fewer clients and devote more of my time and attention to each of them. I find that this creates a more effective and meaningful relationship with those I represent.

We want our people to strive to do their best, so we are strengthening our leadership capabilities and building common ground for open minds - and bigger, more courageous hearts.
Our ongoing executive and staff development plan includes a joint vision for everyone at METRO GROUP. We are constantly looking for new ways, concepts and tools to help develop talent and leaders through our courses around the world. For example, our Development Centres help people identify individual strengths and new areas of learning, provide recommendations for further development and foster an open feedback culture. They are just one example of the ways in which we're supporting our people to set new goals and then achieve them.
METRO GROUP believes that our employees have the potential to become leaders. That's why we invest in your future and nurture a sustainable leadership culture.
We want to ensure that professionals within METRO GROUP stay up to date with the latest business management approaches and methods. We therefore offer the retail group's current and future executives additional training and development opportunities.
We offer a range of workshops to strengthen every manager and every employee to be an authentic leader, a person with absolute personal responsibility. In this way, we support individuals and teams in gaining self-confidence as well as a sense of connection and closeness, in order to cultivate mutual appreciation and trust. We also encourage peer coaching as well as open communication through giving and receiving feedback.
METRO GROUP executives profit from a specially developed training: our International Induction Programme "Connect". It provides managers right from the start with fundamental information about our corporate strategy and the Group companies' concepts. In addition, the programme serves as a platform to exchange knowledge and to build international networks among colleagues.

We can be a solitary lot, us doctoral researchers. We burrow ourselves away because we're passionate or intellectually enthused about our research, and then wonder why we feel a bit lonely and long to be part of a wider community. We exist in a peculiarly solitary sphere; one that is changing.
The romanticised notion of researchers beavering away in small book-stuffed rooms emerging only to attend conferences or launch publications is all but dead. The Research Evaluation Framework's (REF) focus on the "impact" of research, means that any academics still clinging to that myth are in for a nasty shock. Today it is all about getting out of the office to promote research, work with others to develop new research and communicate it. Collaboration is king.
So how do we encourage such behaviour and build research communities? Here at the University of Sussex we identified several issues limiting collaboration in doctoral and early career researchers. High on the list was having no dedicated space for researchers from across campus and disciplines to work together, or even simply to meet each other. The benefits of such interdisciplinarity are many, and yet as doctoral and early career researchers it can be difficult to establish yourself in the identity of a researcher because you don't yet belong and you're not sure who even constitutes your community.
The Sussex Research Hive is one means of tackling this. It's a dedicated study space and locus of activity for doctoral researchers and research staff, located centrally in the University Library. Partly funded by SAGE, the academic publishers, it opened in November 2010 and provides a study area, bookable meeting rooms and space for informal discussion and collaborative work. To promote and develop the space, three current doctoral researchers from the University of Sussex – Jill Kirby, Chris Kempshall and Craig Haslop (that's us) were appointed as Hive Scholars.
Key to our role is publicising the Research Hive, encouraging researchers to use the space and to build a stronger research community, partly through finding out what that actually means for researchers. So far, activities have ranged from organising round table discussions on topics such as being an associate tutor; to hosting SAGE publisher Patrick Brindle's recent workshop on getting published; or simply being available in the Hive to answer any researcher questions.
As well as being a "virtual" community, thanks to a blog and Twitter, the Hive is a place that can only be accessed by doctoral researchers, research staff, and faculty who are engaged in research. It's a research sanctuary, but remains connected to library resources.
Feedback so far has been positive. The Hive is already popular and events are well-attended. We've already heard from users how helpful they're finding the chance to make connections with their fellow researchers. What's also proved useful is the informal nature of some of the events organised by us, such as sessions about writing up your research. These are relaxed get-togethers which address common problems and issues, and allow researchers to share tips and hints freely.
The chance to step away from your own work for a short time to learn and discuss something useful, and to get the chance to socialise too, is a real draw. The Hive is now hosting many other doctoral researcher-focused resources, such as careers events and researcher development training, creating further buzz, as well a good social and work mix.
Researchers are also generating their own Hive-based events such as book groups and, looking to the future, the latest intake of the University's Junior Research Associates – second year undergraduates undertaking summer vacation research – will be joining in briefly to get a taste of life as a researcher. Hopefully, what they will find is that even at this early stage in their careers, the Hive can help them feel part of a wider research community and get them used to working collaboratively, which can only bode well for their futures.
Craig Haslop; Chris Kempshall and Jill Kirby are the inaugural Research Hive Scholars at the University of Sussex

Scales (1 of 3) by Kerry Shook
This content is part of a series.Scales (1 of 3)
Series: The Biggest Loser
Pastor Kerry Shook
This sermon includes the sermon outline and the full sermon transcript. Below you will see a preview of the outline and a portion of the full sermon.
"For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will find it."Matt. 16:25 (NIV)
The Results of Guilt
• Shame
"Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves." Gen. 3:7 (NIV)
• Fear
"He answered, 'I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.'" Gen. 3:10 (NIV)
We have a love/hate relationship with scales. We're always stepping up on the scale, but we usually don't like what it tells us. Scales are no respecter of persons. It doesn't care if you are the president or a peasant; it just tells you the truth. It cracks me up how what it tells us usually comes as a total surprise to us, especially after the holidays. A bad sign is when you step onto the scale and you are out of breath. I mean it's okay if you're on a Stairmaster for 30 minutes, but if you step onto the scale that's just one step. That's a really bad sign if you are out of breath. Usually after the holidays when we step onto the scale we're stunned, we can't believe what it's telling us. How did this happen? It couldn't have been the three dozen Christmas cookies or the five pumpkin pies, could it? I mean, I thought I walked that off at the mall returning gifts. We're always shocked at what the scale tells us. Now I don't know about you, but I've become a fan of this new hit reality show The Biggest Loser. How many of you have seen that? Raise your hand. Yeah. It gets you. It's really moving. If you haven't seen it there are these overweight contestants who try to win the game by losing big. It reminds me a little bit of life because the climactic moment every week in the show is the weekly weigh in when the contestant has to step up to the scale to see how much they've lost. You can just see the fear and anxiety of their faces right before they step onto the scale. In fact last week in the season kickoff, one of the women before she stepped onto the scale begin to cry. She just lost it and the host said, "What's wrong?" She said, "I'm just afraid of what the scale is going to show, that I haven't lost enough and I'm going to get sent home." You see, the winner is the one who eventually becomes the biggest loser. We're starting a new series today that I'm calling The Biggest Loser because in life there are some things you have to lose in order to win. Everybody wants to be a winner. A lot of the best-selling books today are how to be a winner in life, but sometimes we forget that God says in order to be a winner you have to become the biggest loser. I want you to open your Bibles to Matthew, Chapter 16.

Realisation 2. Universal Man 3. Ancestral Dance 4. The Poet's Embrace 5. Eboness 6. Consequence 7. Offering Nathan returns to his acoustic jazz roots with 'The Poet's Embrace', a quartet album of largely self-penned originals. It was recorded completely analog, straight to vintage Ampex two-track tape with no mixing or overdubs -- exactly how jazz records were made before the invention of multi-track recording. 'The Poet's Embrace' features one of the country's most esteemed pianists, Kevin Field (who also contributed a track), plus younger Auckland University graduates Alain Koetsier (drums) and Thomas Botting (acoustic bass). With producer Mike Patto at the helm, 'The Poet's Embrace' exudes warmth and authenticity, and was recorded over just two days at Auckland's York St studios in December 2011. The album features an array of vintage Neumann microphones, vintage Neve EMI desk, a Steinway-D 12 foot grand piano (hired in especially for pianist Kevin Field), with performances captured as the band played them live in the same room. After 25 years in the game, which has seen Haines master an incredible number of genres including drum and bass, broken beat, house and jazz electronic, what emerges from the tunes on 'The Poet's Embrace' is a sense of a musician who's gained his wings.
