The Big East Outdoor Track & Field Championships takes place Friday through Sunday at the Bauer Track & Field Complex on the campus of Rutgers University. USF made program history last spring when the men's squad finished second and the women's team finished third in Tampa. The Bulls' men's team took third place and the women finished fourth at the Big East Indoor Track & Field Championships Feb. 17 in Geneva, Ohio. "The coaches and the student-athletes have been working hard all semester. We want to build off what we started last year as well as what we did at the indoor championships," head coach Warren Bye said. "We'll be keeping a close eye on the field events. For us to be successful I think we've got to step up in those events." Here is a look at key events to keep an eye on and what USF has to offer during competition: FRIDAY Field Events Women's Hammer Throw, Noon: Senior Atasha Warren has the league's eighth-best mark of 172-8 this season. SATURDAY Field Events Men's Shot Put, 11 a.m.: Sophomore Justin Osking ranks sixth in the Big East with a mark of 53-9.25 this season. Women's Long Jump, 11:30 a.m.: Senior Monique Williams is tops in the Big East this season with a mark of 20-3.5 in the event. "She's done a great job this year winning the Big East Indoor Championships in the long jump and the triple jump," Bye said. Miriam Skipper, Samantha Specht and Natasha Stewart also will compete in the event. Women's Javelin, Noon: Graduate student Casey Wagner is a three-time NCAA qualifier and holds the school record in the event with a mark of 160-4. Women's Pole Vault, Noon: Sophomore Britanny London ranks fifth in the Big East with a mark of 12-9.5. Senior Nicole Smith finished second at last season's outdoor meet. Men's Long Jump, 2 p.m.: Senior Neamen Wise won the event last season and grabbed the league's top mark of 25 feet earlier this spring at the Texas Relays. Juniors Kevin Bell and Bryan Kilts also will be competing. Men's High Jump, 4:30 p.m.: Sophomore Chase Meyers is the defending indoor champion and his mark of 7-1 is the best in the league this spring. "When you hit the 7-foot mark in the high jump, that's a great mark," Bye said. Bryan Kilts and sophomore Giscard Petion also will be competing in the event. Running Events Women's 1,500, 1:30 p.m.: Graduate student Yasmin Smith and sophomore Kelli Williams will compete in the event. Women's 110 Hurdles, 2 p.m.: Senior Ena Johnson and sophomore Narricka Williams rank in the league's top 20 in the event. Men's 110 hurdles, 2:15 p.m.: Junior Landon Hargrove ranks eighth in the league with a time of 14.37 seconds. Freshman Nick Friel also will be competing.

Women's 200, 4:40 p.m.: Aireonna Bailey, Dariel Jackson, Kadeidra Jackson, Rachael James and Melissa Teape will be competing. "It looks like another event that bodes well for us.

Scientology Costa Rica Mobilizes for Human Rights
Volunteers from the Church of Scientology Mission of Costa Rica promote human rights awareness
It was an all-day affair with volunteers from the Church of Scientology Mission of Costa Rica celebrating Human Rights Day 2013 with a human rights petition drive.
To help raise awareness of human rights, the volunteers use educational booklets and posters created by Youth for Human Rights, a human rights education initiative supported by the Church of Scientology.
This year's Human Rights Day marked the 65th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Volunteers set up a booth and helped visitors gain an understanding of their 30 basic rights, and how these rights apply to them and their friends and families.
Scientologists on five continents engage in collaborative efforts with government agencies and nongovernmental organizations to bring about broad-scale awareness and implementation of the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the world's premier human rights document.
The Church of Scientology has published a brochure, Scientology: How We Help—United for Human Rights, Making Human Rights a Global Reality, to meet requests for more information about the human rights education and awareness initiative the Church supports. To learn more, visit www.Scientology.org/humanrights [14].
Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote, "Human rights must be made a fact, not an idealistic dream," and the Scientology religion is based on the principles of human rights. The Code of a Scientologist calls on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves "to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights."

Any Rally Racers in the Ohio area??
I've always wanted to do Rally racing and I'm seriously thinking about building a rally car and I just want to talk to someone whos already into rallying.
I"m getting into it hardcore this year, and i'm from detroit, but i'm at school right now, don't know if that counts!! What class are you thinking of doing and are you thinking rally cross or a circuit?
I'm thinking Rally Cross and I'm not sure what class yet.... but it more than likely wont be stock.
I was a member of the SCCA committee that developed the Rallycross program in 2000. The very first SCCA sanctioned rallycrosses were held in the Denver area (SCCA National Headquarters were located here at the time and they wanted to keep a close eye on this new program). It went national in 2003 or so.
Rallycross was based on the solo (autocross) program but with the difference being it would be in the dirt. Our hope was that drivers would get hooked and move on to full performance rally. There are no special build standards for rally cross just some minimal safety standards like those found in autocross (sound car, stock seatbelt, Dot or Snell helmet, decent tires, etc.). The full goal was to allow normal street driven cars to participate. Naturally, car preparation is allowed, but not required, and may put you in another competition class just like in autocross. So, based on that, find out where you closest events are, show up and participate. Its really (pretty much) that simple.
I'm going to start the car build later this year so I can be ready for the SCCA events next year.
I plan on building an air cooled VW Baja bug (I've built several over the years) and put a rather "healthy" motor in it... along with a roll cage a nd a few other odds and ends.
Have you checked for a used one? Safety gear is expensive.
I've been looking, there just arent alot of them around in my current price range.
Right now the plan is get one by fall and take all winter to build it for next year.

Let's get this out of the way: I don't like Bootstrap.
Now, as an author, I wonder if you need to base your admin template on Bootstrap if you want people to buy it.
I've been hunting for a Dribbble invite for a long while now, haha. Would greatly appreciate it if anyone is able to send me one.
Why is this inappropriate?
bramjetten [attt] gmail [ddottt] com
I'm the creator of Spina Admin Control Panel which can be found in the Admin Templates section of ThemeForest.
Spina is my third template which I think is pretty awesome. I was thinking about creating a new template but a new idea crossed my mind. I'd like to create a "Pro"-version of Spina, which is equipped with advanced CSS3 -animations, Pictos-server compatibility and lots of awesome widgets & plugins among other things.
Would anyone be interested in such a template? I'd like to offer a Basic (current) and Pro version.
Thanks for your feedback! Do you use any tools for your support system?
We've released three themes so far which have sold reasonably well. We receive lots of emails and phone calls about our services and are grateful for that. We try helping everyone as quickly as possible, which usually happens on a per-user basis.
For our latest theme we've released a few small updates fairly quickly after launching which address some bugfixes and small requests. Apparently some people still come across issues. The thing is, we're really busy answering emails and phone calls and don't have the time to fully concentrate on bugfixing.
What hurts us is that people start posting comments about how we're just "running away with the money", while we're really doing the best we can. We think people shouldn't buy our themes in the first place if the state in which they're sold doesn't suit them.
How do you guys handle this?
edcousins said
Congrats, but looks like your host is down atm mate - Ed
Is it? Not for me at least.
Thanks everyone! Because of you guys, who featured my latest theme, I was able to reach 1000 sales.
Really grateful!

We have had our two right at a year....
This is for both dogs!
Food - $210 a month that is both combined with treats.
Toys/puzzles - $450 for the year
Supply's - leads, long lines, collars, backpacks, water bowls, paw pad cream, seat covers, brushes, nail clippers, grinder for nails, soaps $700
Vet - we found a great vet office visits are only $55 half of our old vet that had nothing good to say about shepherds and told us we were crazy if we brought one in the house with all the kids we have in and out. He had many horror story's to tell us! The new vet loves and adores them. Always brags on them, and can't believe how loving and gentle they are. She says dogs twice their age don't behave as well as they do. She also is great about meds and rechecks being discounted. Find a vet that loves animals and keeps cost within reason. All of the shots, test and preventive meds are only a couple of dollars difference in her office compared to the humane society. Here is the key! MILES has been to the vet twice...once of his puppy check, and once for his 1 year check. So he has cost 110$ for the year. His shots are all 7-18$ and were done by the vet tech, the office does not charge office visit if tech does shots. MILLIE is a bit different!!! She is adventurous, jumps before she thinks...and has been to the vet 7-8 times! She flew over the sofa (4 months...she jumped the love seat...cleared it!!!) as a pup, we thought she hit way to hard. Nothing was wrong but had her checked. She rammed a stick in her mouth/throat....had her checked and rechecked a few times to make sure healing was going okay. Meds were steroid and antibiotics. She climbed a tree, not with out permission (6months old) paw pads were a little sore so walked funny....vet told her to stop climbing trees, but simple visit as the fix was paw pad cream and ice pack. Anther time she was running so hard, slammed into the fence, had a swollen eye...nothing wrong other than a bruise that can cause swelling...:-/
Needless to say, Millie is more costly in vet bills but with all of her antics we have managed to stay well under $1000 for the year with all shots, preventive checks and screenings, meds, visits and rechecks...
Kennels/bedding - $500
Puppy classes -$800
Real dog classes - $100 a month but that is a discount and the guy does not do it for money, he does it for the love of the breed....so that is not a realistic price for normal working line dog training. Especially for two dogs!
Hope that helps... That is all I can think of off the top if my head. Ours are only 1 year old. They are extremely healthy. If Millie was not the basket case she is...we would have no vets bills....:-/

I'm enjoying my newly finished 7.1 setup and am in the process of choosing a new subwoofer, however I also need to get a new center channel. As you can see in my info I have an Infinity Reference based setup, the correct center channel is a CC3 but the only one on e-Bay will be $165 with shipping, my question is this, if I was to take a Dayton Audio BS36 sound bar, wire it to my Denon AVR2805 using the B front speaker outputs and the center channel and than run that and the A Infinity Reference 2000.6 towers I have for mains at the same time would it sound terrible? Or give me a bit more sound? I'm VERY new at this whole home theater thing so I don't have the knowledge to answer this myself. On paper it sounds cool, but I'm sure some of you more seasoned guys can give me some input as far as if it's a terrible idea. Thanks!
Mirage Omni 60 Side Surrounds| Mirage Omni 60 Rear Surrounds| SVS SB1000
Interesting question. I'm not going to pretend to say I know the definitive answer to it but it seems to me this won't work. Reading the material on this AVR it says:
Dual-room/dual-source output lets you enjoy 7.1 home theater surround in your main room while housemates enjoy another music or video source (in stereo) in a second room. You'll need a separate amplifier for your second listening room — or, if you step to 5.1 audio in your main room, the AVR-2805 can also power a pair of second-room speakers!
It seems to say if you are going to listen to 7.1 then your second set of speakers will be stereo and will require a separate amp for power.
Like I said, I'm not saying I'm right. I'm just taking a stab at answering your question for you. There are probably people here who can answer it more accurately than me.
Subwoofers: dual PSA V3600's with a PSA XV15se nearfield
Speakers: PSA MTM-210T L/R - PSA MTM-210 Center- PSA 110sr Surrounds
Denon X4200 - Sony BDP-S5200 - Panamax M4300 - Direct TV - Apple TV - Xbox360
I've seen the CC3 sell for a lot cheaper then $165 on ebay and craigskist. Keep looking.
Speaker B works a bit differently then Zone 2. I believe the Speaker A and the Speaker B terminals would produce the same signal so it would sound kind of strange. You're better off sticking with the Infinity Video 1 connected to the proper Center speaker terminal.
I've seen the CC3 sell for a lot cheaper then $165 on ebay and craigskist. Keep looking.
Yep, I agree. Its far far better to find a good center channel and just do it right the first time. It can cost a bit more but the results are what you care about.

Will Lewis, hero of Expensesgate, editor of 2009 on any likely awards count, returns from a term at Harvard Business School and heads to an unprepossessing office block in Euston. His chair on the daily goes to Tony Gallagher, another expenses crusader. Will fills a slot that didn't exist until last Friday – group master of entrepreneurial digital revels (as well as keeping his editor-in-chief eyeshade). Promotion, demotion, commotion? Something entirely new in any case.
Forget the familiar struggle to make news websites pay; the Lewis switch is different. It doesn't pull back from any of the newsroom integration that came three years ago with the move to Victoria. The daily, Sunday and telegraph.co.uk you see is the sum of all such efforts. It is a triumph of now familiar co-ordination and amalgamation, of using the same staff to sing and dance in many assorted venues, or an idea whose time has come – and begun to go a little.
Euston, with 50 or so pairs of hands to tap Lewis's keyboards, tackles another role. Come up with two or 200 bright ideas that can make money. Maybe some will be Telegraph-centred, part of the brand and blended with Victoria's web output. But that's not essential. The key is to bring a relatively small number of clever young people together and set them buzzing.
What emerges may have nothing to do with newspapers, except that its profits will help to sustain them. The Lewis wheeze says that papers have learned to change and change again. It says that change is the essence of internet life, where nothing is forever. It says that some of that talent for change can be helped by a newspaper platform, but can't naturally be buried inside a big organisation which has to get a paper out every day.
George Kalofolias, the Greek internet pioneer, put the basic dilemma well recently. Internet news, he reported dolefully, was losing out badly in a Greece where working patterns (and union agreements) were simply too rigid. "It's the survival of the fastest," he said: the survival of the lateral notion, the flexible team, the technical wizard who wants to carry his own emotional garage with him.
In one sense, the formula is standard issue. Newspapers have been starting or buying businesses for years to help sustain their core role. The Guardian did it with Auto Trader, the Mail makes profitable hay with Euromoney. Branding doesn't matter here; indeed, it might be a distinct disadvantage. So why should net life be different? Why should a single Telegraph brand cover all bases?
Of course, Lewis is taking a gamble. Zippy inventions can't be ordered like sandwiches at a deli counter. Profitability can't be ordained. The chemistry involved may be entirely wrong. But the change of direction is signal – and worth watching with rapt attention.

A window into health in California.

Mon, Nov 2, 2009
It's not uncommon for foster children to grow up anxious or depressed. Public health agencies are obligated to help these kids, but the "revolving door" nature of the treatment creates more problems. In the second part of our series looking at foster care, we report on a non-profit group with a different approach. Its motto: "One child, one therapist, for as long as it takes."

It's small and potent -- and it won't be coming to the U.S. -- but get a load of this new little firecracker from Ford, the Fiesta ST.
The production version is being shown this week at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It's being launched in Europe next year.
Ford says it had a Fiesta ST in Europe as recently as 2008. Americans didn't get the regular Fiesta until a couple of years later.

The new one will have a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and be capable of zero to 62 miles per hour in under seven seconds, according to Ford. It also gets ride and handling improvements.
"We believe Ford customers will be blown away by the new Fiesta ST, and not only by the exhilarating performance but by the styling and specification, too. This dynamic new hot-hatch is undoubtedly our best Fiesta ST to date," said Jost Capito, Ford's director of Global Performance Vehicles.

Religiosity and war always gravitate toward each other in varying form and degree. Both are cut from the same mental cloth - "Our beliefs are right and their beliefs are wrong"...generally used as justification for domination and annihilation. Colonization, subjugation, and erasure are an unacknowledged, unstated purpose of both war and religion.
Its not surprising to see these religious messages on weapons that tear people into bloody bits. War is frequently a tool of religion and vise versa, covertly or overtly...covertly on both sides in the current "police action". They are a snug fit. Shining a strong light on the covert religiosity that in part drives this war on both sides can only be a good thing.
Imagine a post-religious era...there'd be a whole lot less war.

Rutgers University in Newark and birds: Perfect together
Dr. Claus Holzapfel, an ecologist with the Rutgers Department of Biological Sciences, knows where the wild things are, at least on his Newark campus. According to Holzapfel, the campus is the transient home to more than 100 species of wild birds, and this spring he is leading free birding walks to introduce them to the human inhabitants of the area. The professor will lead the campus walks every Wednesday morning in May, from 7:45 a.m. – 8:30 a.m., beginning May 7 and ending May 28. The walks are open to the public, as well as faculty, students and staff; the only equipment needed is a pair of binoculars (Some will be available for loan).
Exactly what brings wild winged creatures to this urban center?
Although the campus is located in an urban environment where there aren't many trees, explains Holzapfel, the campus itself offers many green spots covered with trees, bushes and shrubs , so the campus stands out to watchful birds. "They see the green spots, and they zoom in and land here… birds are sneaking around the trees and shrubs in desperate search of food… that allows a good chance of seeing them here."

Those who join him on the walks will have a chance to observe some 100 species of birds, perhaps even rare ones, "such as the red-tailed hawk, a large raptor which hunts our local squirrels and quails," according to Holzapfel.
Bird-watchers will meet on the Norman Samuels Plaza at the entrance to Boyden Hall, 195 University Ave. (Norman Samuels Plaza is located between University Avenue on the west, Martin Luther King Boulevard on the east, Warren Street on the south and Bleeker Street on the north; for further assistance go to http://www.newark.rutgers.edu/maps/.)

Judge Rules No ID Required to Ride NYC Subway
(Daisy Rosario, WNYC) Subway riders in New York City can not be required to carry identification. A federal judge has ruled that it an NY MTA requirement unconstitutional.
The case stems from two train enthusiasts, Ernest Steve Barry and Michael Burkhart, who were arrested while photographing subway cars at a Queens station in 2010. Both men were cited for taking pictures. Barry received an additional summons when he gave an officer his full name but did not produce a photo ID.
The charges were later dismissed. Photography in the transit system is already legal, providing the equipment used is not excessive. The men filed a civil suit challenging the ID rule in 2011.
The judge held that the ID rule as written was unconstitutionally vague, lacking guidance for either the public or law enforcement as to what was meant by ID.
A spokesman for the MTA declined to comment.

The Evolution of Jonah Hill
Jonah Hill has long been a staple in popular comedies. From Superbad and Knocked Up to Funny People, Hill has gained acclaim in these funny-yet-raunchy films. But recently, he's expanded his repertoire to include dramatic roles in Cyrus and Moneyball, the latter of which is garnering him award buzz for the first time in his career. We sat down with Hill to discuss Moneyball, why he's choosing more grown-up roles and how he avoids becoming cynical.
You've done two dramatic roles in the last year. Is there more intentionality to how you're shaping your career now?
Yeah, I'm intentionally doing movies that are diversifying who I am. I think it's easy to put someone in a box. My first big intro into the world was Superbad, and it really made a big splash when it came out. From then on, I've been regarded as that character, and that's who I am [to people]. That's not who I am. It wasn't even who I was when I made that movie. It was more ripping on people I knew when I was 16 or 17 years old.
But I've grown up in front of everybody, and I'm just hoping people are going to allow me to. I have matured, and I want to make dramas and comedies. So yeah, I'm making an intentional effort to do both.
Do you have any specific film goals or directors you'd like to work with in the future?
It's the usual suspects—the ones you would obviously pick: Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, Spike Jonze, David O. Russell, Quentin Tarantino. Their films are just original. When I got involved with Judd Apatow and all those guys, I was really young and lucky. But I felt like what we did with those movies was really punk-rock and different. Comedies weren't like the ones we were making. [Ours] were more emotional and grounded in humanity. I felt at that time what we were doing was really different and interesting. But now that we've made a lot of them and everyone's copied them so much, they're no longer different. It's now become like the norm. So for me, it's like: "Alright, done that. Cool." I've always loved comedy and still want to make comedies, but I'm just trying to do something different.

Building research capacity in the nursing workforce : the design and evaluation of the nurse researcher role
Chan, Raymond, Gardner, Glenn E., Webster, Joan, & Geary, Alanna (2010) Building research capacity in the nursing workforce : the design and evaluation of the nurse researcher role. Australian Journal of Advanced Nursing, 27(4), pp. 62-69.
Published Version
(PDF 318kB)
Objectives: The Nurse Researcher Project (NRP) was initiated to support development of a nursing research and evidence based practice culture in Cancer Care Services (CCS) in a large tertiary hospital in Australia. The position was established and evaluated to inform future directions in the organisation.----------
Background: The demand for quality cancer care has been expanding over the past decades. Nurses are well placed to make an impact on improving health outcomes of people affected by cancer. At the same time, there is a robust body of literature documenting the barriers to undertaking and utilising research by and for nurses and nursing. A number of strategies have been implemented to address these barriers including a range of staff researcher positions but there is scant attention to evaluating the outcomes of these strategies. The role of nurse researcher has been documented in the literature with the aim to provide support to nurses in the clinical setting. There is, to date, little information in relation to the design, implementation and evaluation of this role.----------
Design: The Donabedian's model of program evaluation was used to implement and evaluate this initiative.----------
Methods: The 'NRP' outlined the steps needed to implement the nurse researcher role in a clinical setting. The steps involved the design of the role, planning for the support system for the role, and evaluation of outcomes of the role over two years.----------
Discussion: This paper proposes an innovative and feasible model to support clinical nursing research which would be relevant to a range of service areas.----------
Conclusion: Nurse researchers are able to play a crucial role in advancing nursing knowledge and facilitating evidence based practice, especially when placed to support a specialised team of nurses at a service level. This role can be implemented through appropriate planning of the position, building a support system and incorporating an evaluation plan.

Book Talk: Deep below Manhattan with the Sandhogs
By Nick Zieminski
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - New Yorkers use some 1.5 billion gallons (3.78 billion liters) of water a day.
That water reaches the city through two huge underground pipes that have not been repaired for nearly a century. Before they can be taken offline, a third water tunnel needs to be fully operational, and that won't happen for several years.
The task of digging what's known as Water Tunnel No. 3 began in 1970 and falls to a group of men called Sandhogs -- urban miners working deep below the city.
Their tough, dirty job is the subject of "Sandhogs," a new book by photographer Gina LeVay. She spoke with Reuters about the men she met, the landscape deep below Manhattan, and the advantage of shooting with a traditional film camera.
Q: We're in Times Square, one of the most photographed places in the world. You found a place that had almost never been photographed -- only about a mile away. How did you pick this subject?
A: After the 2003 blackout in New York, I was starting my final year of graduate school. I began thinking about how the city works, its infrastructure, thinking I should explore my style of portraiture with city workers. My friend who works at the Department of Environmental Protection, which runs the water system, said you should check out the Sandhogs. I said who, what?
I knew the water comes from upstate (New York) but had no idea this mammoth excavation was happening 800 feet below us. I became fascinated by the simultaneity of city life and this subterranean environment. Nobody knew about it. I had to find a way to get down there.
Q: You're deep below ground in a confined space. Did it feel claustrophobic? Continued...

Oct 8, 2013 – BankNews Media is pleased to announce the rebranding of its Financial Placements division to Community Banking Recruiters. This rebranding better distinguishes the division as a leader in community bank employee recruitment. Launched in 1967 by BankNews Media, the executive search and recruitment service has a proven track record in both areas: helping banks recruit experienced, successful, quality senior and mid-level executives, and assisting banking professionals to obtain new employment opportunities that provide career advancement.
Search Results: BANKworkforce
The tagline on the cover of this issue of BankNews says it all: "The Magazine for Community Bank Management Teams." In fact, that describes this publication's mission for more than 100 years, during which time it has earned respect as a privately owned, independent voice for community bankers, primarily in the Midwest and Southwest.
"Any change, even for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts." — Arnold Bennett, English Novelist
For the past 40 years bankers from Northwest Missouri and Southwest Iowa have played golf to determine who has bragging rights to a much-revered traveling trophy. This year, after finishing a round in Missouri and a round in Iowa, Iowa bested Missouri and retained the trophy.
Where do you fit? Are you a little fish in a big pond or a big fish in a little pond? Whether you are a large market candidate considering a rural town position or a rural town banker needing quality candidates, consider carefully what each has to offer.
Innovation. We can't afford to stop it, even in the middle of a recession. Survival demands it, whether you're a community bank or BankNews Media. Clients and stakeholders deserve no less, be they depositors, borrowers and investors, or readers and advertisers.
Abraham Lincoln once said, "Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." The banking industry has certainly had to look inward to find the strength and resolution to weather the current economic downturn. But what Lincoln didn't mention was that part of the recipe for success also includes being informed about competitors' strengths — or as the case may be, their weaknesses.

US President Barack Obama and his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rohani spoke by phone Friday in a historic and first direct contact between leaders of their estranged nations since the 1979.
The stunning 15-minute call was the fruit of a diplomatic opening forged by Rohani's election in June on a mandate to ease confrontation with the West and lift nuclear sanctions that have pulverized the Iranian economy.
"Just now, I spoke on the phone with President Rohani of the Islamic Republic of Iran," Obama said in a televised statement, revealing the most intriguing turn yet in relations between the two nations
"The two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran's nuclear program."
Iranian newspapers Saturday hailed the contact between presidents Rohani and Obama but warned that opponents like arch-foe Israel would seek to torpedo the historic opening to Washington.
The impetus for the call came from Iranian officials, who US officials said told them hours earlier in New York that Rohani wanted to speak to Obama before leaving the United Nations General Assembly.
The White House had indicated to Tehran earlier this week that it was open to an informal encounter between the leaders at the United Nations.
The leaders' momentous conversation took place when Rohani was on his way to the airport in his official limousine, the Iranian side said.
Obama spoke in English and Rohani spoke Farsi as they chatted through interpreters, according to US officials.
But before hanging up, in an exchange that would have been thought impossible only days ago, Obama bade Rohani "khodahafez" – Farsi for "goodbye."
Rohani replied "have a good day, Mr President" in English, according to tweets by the Iranian leader's office and a US official.
"It's the end of a 35-year taboo," trumpeted reformist daily Arman, referring to the rupture of diplomatic relations following the hostage-taking at the US embassy in the wake of the 1979 Islamic revolution.
"The world caught unawares," it crowed.
"International media in shock over the telephone call," it said, referring to the timing of the call as Rohani headed to the airport after a visit to the United Nations where the media focus had been on the lack of a historic meeting.
The Etemad newspaper carried a photomontage of Rohani and Obama side by side. "Historic contact on way home," read a banner headline taking up the whole front page.
But in an opinion piece international relations professor Mohammad Ali Bassiri warned that rapprochement between Tehran and Washington would face huge resistance both from Israel and from domestic opponents.
"These contacts and meetings between Iran and the United States have extremist opponents and both sides must be very careful," Bassiri wrote.
"Alongside domestic extremists hostile to an improvement in Iran-US relations, there are also opponents in the region.
"Many countries, notably the Zionist regime, believe their interests will be jeopardized by a normalization of relations between Iran and the United States and will seek to stop it."
Several newspapers carried the reaction of former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, widely seen as Rohani's mentor, who hailed the incumbent's decision to speak to, but not meet, his US counterpart.
"Rohani's success in New York is the mark of the divine victory," Rafsanjani said.
"The fact that Obama asked our president to meet him but the latter said it's too early and we must prepare the ground is the very triumph that God promised us," he added.
A number of newspapers also carried the response of the commander of the Qods Force of the elite Revolutionary Guards.
"The respect shown by the world to President Rohani is the fruit of the nation's resistance," General Ghassem Soleimani said.
Many newspapers carried front-page photographs of a smiling Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Sharif and Secretary of State John Kerry at a meeting between Iran and the major powers on its controversial nuclear program.
It was left to the ultra-conservative Kayhan newspaper to sound a negative note, criticizing Washington for its comments that the new tone from Iran did not go far enough and that its words needed to be matched by deeds.
The call took place after pathbreaking bilateral talks Thursday between Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif at the UN, on the sidelines of wider discussions on the nuclear program between Iran and major world powers.
Obama said that, despite the unprecedented nature of the call with Rohani and hopes for a lasting diplomatic breakthrough, he was mindful of obstacles ahead.
"The very fact that this was the first communication between an American and Iranian president since 1979 underscores the deep mistrust between our countries, but it also indicates the prospect of moving beyond that difficult history."
Obama said he told Rohani that he believed a "resolution" was possible to the dispute over Iran's uranium enrichment program, which the West believes is a covert effort to produce nuclear weapons – a charge Tehran denies.
Obama noted that Rohani had said that Iran would never develop nuclear arms and that Washington respected the right of Iranians to access peaceful nuclear energy.
"So the test will be meaningful, transparent, and verifiable actions, which can also bring relief from the comprehensive international sanctions that are currently in place," the US president added.
The Iranian presidency confirmed the telephone call between Obama and Rohani.
"The two insisted on political will for quick resolution to the nuclear issue, as well as paving the ground for resolving other issues and cooperation in regional issues," it said on its website.

Big 12 Tournament 2014 Schedule: Start Times, Live Stream and TV InfoMarch 12, 2014
While Kansas won its 10th consecutive Big 12 regular-season title this year, the conference tournament is wide open.
The Big 12 has been arguably the toughest conference in college basketball throughout the year thanks to its overall depth to give teams a serious battle almost every game. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports agrees:
Seven of the league's 10 teams are likely to get a bid to the NCAA tournament, while West Virginia could realistically make a run this weekend to make it eight.
As a result, fans should be ready for anything to happen in Kansas City. To make sure you do not miss a second of the action, here is a full look at the tournament's schedule and a preview for the top teams to watch.

Teams to Watch
No. 1 Kansas
One of the top storylines in college basketball heading into the weekend is the injury of freshman center Joel Embiid. According to Gary Parrish of CBS Sports, the big-time interior defender will miss the entire Big 12 tournament and possibly some time in the NCAA tournament.
Interestingly, ESPN's Andy Katz reports that the NCAA selection committee will be monitoring the center's progress to decide a seed. Committee chair Ron Wellman explained:
I can assure you it will be a detailed discussion as to when he is going to be available, and we will be monitoring and communicating with Kansas throughout the week as to what his availability will be going forward.
Then again, Kansas can remove any debate over its seed by going out and having success without him in the conference tournament. Tarik Black will try to fill in alongside Perry Ellis, who has had some good games but is inconsistent.
Andrew Wiggins is the team's leading scorer and possible first overall pick in the upcoming NBA draft. He has a unique offensive skill set with off-the-charts athleticism that allowed him to score 41 points in his latest game against West Virginia.
On the other hand, David Ubben of Fox Sports Southwest points out that this shows how much the Jayhawks missed Embiid:
The draw to the finals is tough, but Kansas has as much talent as anyone in the country and remains the favorite to take home another conference title.
No. 4 Iowa State
Oklahoma has had a great season behind the tandem of Buddy Hield and Cameron Clark to get the No. 2 seed in the tournament, while Texas has utilized a strong defense to stand at No. 3 in the conference. Still, neither of these teams are as exciting to watch as Iowa State.
The Cyclones have one of the best scoring trios in the country with DeAndre Kane, Melvin Ejim and Georges Niang averaging 51.5 points per game. All three of them can score from the perimeter or in the paint and it makes it almost impossible for opponents to guard.
Ejim was named the conference's Player of the Year, something that was a surprise to Rothstein:
The fact remains that any of these three players can go off and help outscore virtually any team in the postseason. Although defense might be a problem, there are not too many opponents that will keep up on the scoreboard.
This alone will put Iowa State in contention for a Big 12 title as long as the shots continue to fall.
No. 8 Oklahoma State
This tournament features so many top teams that you almost expect the eventual winner to come from the bottom half of the standings. While Baylor is one of the squads that could make a run (and could use a win to ensure a spot in the Big Dance), Oklahoma State remains the most dangerous.
The Cowboys have had quite an adventurous season, starting 16-3 before dropping seven games in a row to fall out of the NCAA tournament picture. The worst part of the year featured leading scorer Marcus Smart shoving a fan in a loss against Texas Tech.
However, he returned to action after a suspension and helped Oklahoma State win four of its last five games. After his team's victory over then-No. 5 Kansas, the media seemed to have nothing by good things to say about Smart:
When composed, the point guard is one of the most complete players in the country who contributes on both ends of the court. With Markel Brown, Le'Bryan Nash and Phil Forte all performing at their peak ability, this is one of the best teams in the nation.
Even as a No. 8 seed in this tournament, the Pokes have the talent to run the table.

(OTCBB:NANI),- (The Company) an educational software Company in the People's Republic of China, announces plans to develop Chinese language models for its "Naniya World" website to satisfy growing global demand for language training. Mandarin, the national language of China, is the most widely spoken language in the world. With over one billion people who speak a form of Chinese as their native language, the worldwide demand for Chinese speakers far exceeds the number of Westerners who are able to speak the language. "As China continues to rapidly cement its position as a global economic power; opening its doors to foreign investment, goods and services, trade and cultural exchange, the demand for competent Mandarin speakers in the West has intensified," said President and CEO Hongxiao Zhang. "The global demand for Mandarin instruction is way outpacing the supply of available content and trained teachers. Only technology can create the scalability to reach learners and train teachers to meet that need. That is where 'Naniya World' comes in." The learning modules are scheduled to be launched in July 2013, with estimates of 100,000 new users per year. In order for the modules to be considered important and sustainable, students must feel engaged and motivated over the long term. "Naniya World" focusses on teaching students that learning can be fun. About Neologic Animation Inc. (the "Company") The Company is an educational software development and marketing company; currently developing a website to be marketed as "Naniya World" for primary school students in China. The website's goal is to educate children how to develop and hone their creative skills through interactive educational games that incorporate Adobe Flash. The games incorporate a curriculum that has been developed by some of China's top professors and child psychology experts. It sets itself apart from other after school programs in China because it deviates from the traditional methods of Chinese education. The Company's mission is to inspire every child in China to become the best student they can possibly be by showing them that learning is fun.

All numbers match on these all original SKS.
I want to buy something else and so am putting these up for sale.
$300 for the chinese
$500 for the russian
Any more info or pictures?
What year is your Russian? How's the bore?
Pics would be helpful.
docnyt $500 unless it is a 1949 you are not buying it anyway
I have an all origianl matching numbers Russian SKS dated 1952 (arrow inside star stamp) that I'd like $500 for to roll into another purchase
It is the center rifle pictured here.
I'd sell the chinese SKS pictured for $300 each. One has all matching numbers with the 26 in triangle stamp, the other is not all matching.
If you have any more questions let me know.

Trades considered too. Let me know what you have to swap.
no one?
Mike your a bit high on the prices and that is why your not attracting some interest. Perhaps a reduction will spur some activity.

"Tulta munille!"
"Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example. But inevitably they fail, either because men are not afraid to die for a life worth living, or because the terrorists themselves came to realize that free men cannot be frightened by threats, and that aggression would meet its own response. And it is in the light of that history that every nation today should know, be he friend or foe, that the United States has both the will and the weapons to join free men in standing up to their responsibilities."

Thank you Jesus the voice of reason
Thabnks Vic. I am just looking to get what I paid out of them. For a face to face sale I can knock $25 off each. You can't touch a Russian with matching numbers for $475 in NY. Even the Yuogos bring $300 here and you can't find a chinese that hasn't been buggered up with after market mismatch. But I do appreciate the advice, but if I can't break even on them now, I'll just hold them until the next gun ban raises their value again.
here's some detailed pics of the Russian by request:
I'm afraid the next 'gun ban' will include a 'turn-in' clause....
All sold at the asking price. Reason has prevailed.

It's been a while since my last sale of these and I've come across 4 in that time. These have both fully accurate seams. These are very rare. All shelters have the one seam but I have to fold and sew in the second and in the time I've been doing these and the over 150 capes I've sold I've come across a scant handful. All that said price is $100 each shipped.

Amazon Gives In; Higher e-Book Prices Expected
Amazon appears to have blinked first in its stand-off with publishing giant Macmillan over the pricing of Kindle books. The online retailer had even briefly stopped selling printed Macmillan books over the dispute.
The disagreement centered on Amazon's policy of charging a flat rate of $9.99 for the electronic edition of virtually all new titles it stocks. Macmillan demanded that it be able to set its own pricing, with most major books priced between $12.99 and $14.99.
Royalties Replace Fixed Fees
At the moment, Amazon pays publishers a fixed fee for each digital sale worth roughly half the list price of the book's hardback edition. In many cases, that meant Amazon wound up making a loss with the $9.99 fee, a price it considered worth paying to establish the market.
Macmillan joined other publishers in pushing an alternative system by which the publisher sets the digital price and the online retailer, such as Amazon, takes a 30% commission. Ironically, that means publishers wind up with slightly smaller profits on most books, while Amazon is guaranteed to make money for each sale. (Source: nytimes.com)
However, Amazon felt strongly that variable pricing would leave both sides worse off. Why? It believes $9.99 is a psychological price point above which sales will drop off rapidly. The firm appeared willing to switch to the royalty system but insisted prices remain as they were.
Amazon Gives In; Higher Prices Expected
At one point over the weekend, Amazon switched off the ability for users to buy either digital or print editions of major Macmillan titles. (The listings stayed in place and it was still possible to buy the books through the third-party seller Amazon Marketplace scheme.)
Now, Amazon has given up the fight. It appears that's largely down to the still-fresh hype over Apple's forthcoming iPad device and the confirmation that Apple will run its own electronic book store. That will likely have caused Amazon to realize that it can't afford to have any major publishers missing from its own service, even if that means compromising on terms.
Prices "Needlessly High for E-Books"
Although it has given in, Amazon certainly hasn't done so graciously. In a note to customers it said "we will have to capitulate and accept Macmillan's terms because Macmillan has a monopoly over their own titles, and we will want to offer them to you even at prices we believe are needlessly high for e-books."

Vehicle2007 Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Limited 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
ReviewJust got rid of a Mercedes, and what a difference! The Subaru is sooo much faster. The build quality is excellent - almost Lexus-like and the Subie is very comfortable too. This car holds the road like it was glued there and the clutch is really smooth. The turbo is really fun and Consumer Reports has given the Legacy great reliability ratings. I test drove the MazdaSpeed6 and there was no comparison. Edmunds compared them also and preferred the Mazda, but if you're looking for fun AND great reliability and build quality go for the Legacy. It beats the Mazda hands down in the quality department.
Best FeaturesVery attractive exterior and interior. Great turbo motor and clutch. Overall everything is great; there are a few annoying details. This car is also supposed to be reliable and I hope it will be!
Worst FeaturesStereo. I wish that Subaru would offer a factory upgraded sound system; every other car company does. (In this category the Mazda wins because of its great Bose sound system). Also, the car makes an annoying sound when you're not buckled up, even when the car is in neutral. Otherwise, an amazing car!

Now Mr Ho is famous for their pork, so it was their signature pork knuckle that we tried along with roast pork aka "siu yuk" which was served with rice or spaghetti. True to his words, the siu yuk was shiny and it was as if i was hallucinating and hearing it call to me. Just looking at the plate of siu yuk fan, which featured rice as a side dish rather then a main dish; i couldnt imagine how my pork knuckle would turned out. While i was busily fantasizing, i noticed a strong protective aura over the plate and true enough, i didnt get an offer to try a piece. What luck!
Now apparently when one speaks of fusion; they mean east meets west and one day decides to copulate resulting in a mixed offspring. So Mr Ho did just that and mixed spaghetti with siu yuk and it turned out to be a in-demand kid with lots of attention. Now i wonder if i can make things work with steam fish with ginger and soya sauce accompanied with some ravioli perhaps? By now, i was getting abit agitated with all the pork surrounding me. They all seem to be taunting me that i am still carrying my big fat camera; being to see but unable to eat. Then my dish came..
Lot LG-060A, Lower Ground Floor
Mid Valley Megamall, Lingkaran Syed Putra
59200 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia
Tel: 03-22841330
Verdict: Because it is one of my favourite animals; this has got to be at least a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. Pricing aint cheap with set lunches going for around RM20++ and the single pork knuckle lunch set for almost RM30++.

Hitohira Redux: Episode One
Finally fell in the mood to rewatch Hitohira, now with Starlight's subs. Even though I managed to watch it raw, I pretty much didn't get many of the subtle nuances and some of the technical parts of the show, of which I only managed to understand thanks to hashihime's blogging of it at the same time.
For a first episode, aside from the usual exposition of the show, Hitohira definitely had many hints and foreshadowing to past and future events. I'd rather not go in to too much detail, as that's not really my style.
That being said, what really attracted me to Hitohira in the first episode is Nono-senpai, with Kawasumi Ayako providing yet another sterling performance that just increases my respect count for her to higher and higher levels. There is just something with her portrayal of Nono and one can actually feel Nono's charm and personality oozing out from the screen, thanks to Ayako's professional passion which she puts in all her serious work. Definitely, Nono was the show stealer of this episode.
Also, not to forget is also Satsuki Yukino's role as Sakaki Mirei, the president of the official drama club. While I am a fan of her performances, her work for Sakaki definitely increased my respect count for her a lot more. Even as short as a scene she got in this first episode, it was truly a heart-wrenching one, one that can only be appreciated through a rewatch of the show.

Bangkok (The Nation/ANN) - Well-known regional financial expert Paul Gambles expects the world economy to fall into another "Great Depression" any time between now and 2014, and that it will last for five to 10 years.
The MBMG International managing partner who appears frequently on CNBC and other media and at financial events said: "Our best case is that stocks will fall 30-40 per cent from where we are now. The worst is hard to predict, but during the Great Depression in 1930s, US stocks dropped by over 90 per cent." MBMG is a global financial advisory service.
Speaking to The Nation in an exclusive interview, Gambles said it was not possible to predict the exact time of the global economic collapse, as it would depend on what financial event triggers it, which would be very much a political decision.
Nonetheless, he said, "There are two economists who are the most influential on my economic thinking: One is Adam Smith, and [the other is] Nouriel Roubini or 'Dr Doom' ...he believes 2012 or 2014 is the maximum point we can get to without some event" triggering a major crash.
"Unless you are prepared to lose 40 per cent of your assets, which you might not ever be able to recover, you should completely avoid equity exposure right now," Gambles said.
A professor at New York University and chairman of a consulting firm that bears his name, Roubini earned the nickname "Dr Doom" for correctly predicting the financial crisis in 2008.
Gambles said MBMG had predicted since last year that "the four horsemen" comprising the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan and the euro zone were getting close to the "apocalypse" or "the end of the world". Governments are repeating the mistakes they made in the 1920s that led to the first Great Depression, such as accumulating huge public debt, distributing wealth poorly, and tolerating low productivity. Therefore, he said, no central banks would be able to stop a recurrence of the Depression.
"Now we have changed that view slightly. We think it will happen for sure. And China is now exactly in the same situation," he said.
China reported last Friday that its exports grew by just 1 per cent in July from a year earlier, raising deeper concerns on the possibility of an economic hard landing in the world's second-largest economy, after years of rapid growth.
To protect their wealth from the expected economic crash, Gambles said investors with medium-term risk profiles and medium-term time horizons (five years or more) should allocate half of their portfolios in cash, 20-25 per cent of in gold, 10-15 per cent in government bonds, 10 per cent in selected types of hedge funds such as long-short equity and managed-future funds, and about 5 per cent in "tactical investments" such as "shorting" Australian property.
"One of the best opportunities to make money right now is to exploit the most overvalued asset in the world, Australian property. Some of our managers are just now starting to 'short' Australian property. In real terms, it must fall by 60-70 per cent."
He said investors at any risk profile should now overweight on cash, which currently can offer an expected annual return of 3-4 per cent for yen, and 6-7 per cent for baht, Singapore dollars and US dollars. After the expected financial crisis, gold is predicted to rise to US$2,500-$3,000 an ounce, from about $1,600 at present. When the crisis starts, the US dollar is expected to shoot up to 35-36 baht, though the long-term trend is for the greenback to fall to 25 baht eventually.
Gambles said Asia would not be immune to the coming global economic collapse, though some economies with low debt levels will bounce back faster. Thailand is still in a good position, and it would be better for the country if the global depression occurred now rather than later, as the Kingdom is piling up debt and weakening its economy, he said.
The upcoming US presidential election or the political handover in China could be the catalyst for the next global crisis, but as evidence throughout history shows, it's usually not the big-headlines event or the expected thing that triggers a major crisis, said the MBMG executive.

Google's Southern California Farm Team
Google's acquisition yesterday of Neven Vision is the latest in a string of acquisitions by Google of Southern California firms. Southern California has a steady history of acquisitions by search engine leaders. A timeline of Google's purchases below:
April 2003: Google purchases Santa Monica-based Applied Semantics for its Applied Semantics AdSense product, which eventually became Google AdSense. The deal was worth $41.5 million and 2,382,800 shares of Google stock, and established Google's Southern California product development office. (Those 2,382,800 shares of Google stock would be worth $907.8M at yesterday's closing price of $380.97).
July 2004: Google buys Pasadena-based Picasa, for its photo management software. Picasa was an Idealab company. Terms were not disclosed, but closed shortly after its IPO filing.
August 2004: Google debuts on the NASDAQ as GOOG in its initial public offering.
March 2005: Google buys Urchin Software, a San Diego-based provider of web analytics software. Google has incorporated Urchin into its advertising and publishing products to provide web analytics to customers. Terms were not disclosed.
January 2006: Google buys Newport Beach-based dMarc Broadcasting, in a deal worth potentially $1.1B (yes, billion) dollars. The initial deal was worth $102M in cash plus contingent payments. Google said it would incorporate dMarc's technology into Google's AdWords platform.
August 2006: Google acquires Santa Monica-based Neven Vision.
Competitor Yahoo also has been active in Southern California, though not as recently, with the following acquisitions in the area:
January 1999: Yahoo acquires Santa Monica-based Geocities, a provider of personal home pages, during the Internet boom. The deal was worth (in 1999 dollars) $3.56B and $1B in options.
June 2001: Yahoo acquired Santa Monica-based Launch Media for $12M, which later becomes part of Yahoo Music.
July 2003: Yahoo acquires Pasadena-based Overture Services, formerly Goto.com, a web advertising firm incubated by Idealab. The deal was worth $1.63B.
September 2004: Yahoo acquires San Diego-based MusicMatch for $160M.
January 2005: Yahoo sets up shop in Hollywood to oversee its media properties.
