text: Employment Read guidance for autistic adults about the world of work on bullying in the workplace and careers services. People with autism have some very valuable skills which can be applied in the workplace. They might have very good attention to detail, or be really good at sticking to routines and timetables. Therefore, are likely to be very punctual and reliable. Everyone has different skills but there will always be something. Job seeker on the autism spectrum Tips for interacting and coping at work It can be really helpful for you to have a workplace mentor, or a named person at work that you feel you can talk to about issues at work. You will be able to talk to this person about the unwritten office rules, and they will be able to check whether you are confused over instructions that you have been given. Sometimes, it might just be useful to have someone to talk to about any other issues you have in your place of work. You could ask your manager or HR team about finding a workplace mentor for you. It needs to be someone you can trust, so think of some people at work who you would feel comfortable talking to and tell your manager or HR team about them. It does not necessarily have to be someone in your team. It is useful to have regular scheduled meetings with your mentor, so that if any incidents do occur you can talk about them as they happen and deal with them early, rather than letting things build up over time. There are often a number of unspoken office rules and it is helpful to go through these with your mentor. These rules vary greatly between organisations, and sometimes even different teams in the same organisation, so it is important to talk them through with someone. Examples of these rules could be: offering to make everyone a drink when you make one for yourself (depending on the size of the team) using your own mug and washing up anything that you use finding out the arrangements with tea bags/coffee/milk - is there a collection you need to contribute to if you use it? What do you need to do if you use up the last of the milk? finding out about lunchtime arrangements - does someone have to be in the office at all times over the lunch period? If so, is there a rota for when people take their lunchbreaks? You could talk to your mentor about the different levels of relationship that exist at work. At work, relationships are generally more formal than those that we have with close friends and family members. Some things that we say to our close friends and family are not appropriate to talk about at work, and some topics are not appropriate to discuss at work. The things that people talk about and the way they talk at work is sometimes called workplace banter, and this is another topic you could talk with your mentor about. Workplace banter is a form of conversation that takes place between work colleagues, particularly those who work in an open plan office. The National Autistic Society has published a book called Body Language and Communication, which suggests how to participate in this banter, giving you tips and advice. Workplace banter is not usually an ongoing conversation, it's more a series of short bursts of conversation throughout the day. It can be quite usual for people not to stop what they are doing - to join in the banter, often people will remain at their desks and continue working while still chatting. It is usually a good idea to show awareness that the conversation is going on - if you show no reaction, people may think that you are not interested, or that you are being rude. While workplace banter can have little consequence, it is a great way to develop good working relationships with colleagues and feeling one of the team. (Perks, 2007). You may feel like you want to start some workplace banter. If so, some appropriate topics of conversation could be: the weather recent television programmes or films recent sporting events. Some inappropriate topics of conversation are: money (eg how much people earn in your team) critical comments about how people look (eg what they are wearing) personal comments about colleagues. If you have decided to declare your disability you may find it helpful to pass on information about Asperger syndrome to your team. If you do not feel comfortable doing this you could get your manager or your mentor to pass on the information. Included in this information could be general information about Asperger syndrome (available from our Autism Helpline or at our website at www.autism.org.uk/asperger) and information about reasonable adjustments that could help you at work. Examples of these could be: writing down instructions and tasks giving short, clear instructions breaking down large tasks into smaller components having a regular timetable of tasks to add structure to your working day asking that people make it clear if you are talking too long about a subject, which is your particular special interest. You may also like to talk to your manager or HR team about seeing if they will arrange autism/Asperger syndrome awareness training for all staff. Training is offered by external companies and could be something that will help your team understand your needs more, and in turn lead to a more supportive workplace for you. Support for employees in the workplace Finding work toolkit Finding Work is a job searching and work preparation handbook for employment professionals and people with autism, including Asperger syndrome. The handbook includes a series of worksheets, information sheets and templates for job seekers with autism. The handbook also includes access to a Network Autism group where you can download additional electronic resources. Finding Work is a great resource for professionals who provide employment support to job seekers with autism. It can also be used by the individual job seeker or by anyone supporting a job seeker with autism including parents and relatives. The handbook contains nine practical modules: good working practice for professionals understanding autism choosing a suitable role applying for roles interviews finding work experience communication and social skills managing anxiety preparing for the workplace.

Bullying in the workplace This section explains what bullying is, how to recognise if you are being bullied, ways to help you if you are being bullied and where you can go for support. It also aims to help you at work, with tips on how to interact and cope in the workplace. What is bullying? Bullying is similar to harassment. It is when one person, or a group of people, intentionally cause harm to someone else and behave in a way that is deliberately offensive and unkind towards them. For example, a bully might make jokes about an individual's disability, or make rude remarks about someone's sexual orientation. A person could be bullying in the way they speak to you, in their words and their manner (for example, verbal harassment) and the things that they do to you (for example, physical assault). They may also be a bully in other more subtle ways, such as forcing or manipulating you to do things, leaving you out of activities, or saying unkind words about you when you are not there. No-one should have to put up with being bullied at work. Everyone should instead be treated with dignity and respect. Bullying or harassment should not be tolerated. Your employer is responsible for preventing bullying and harassing behaviour. They should have measures in place to prevent bullying, and have grievance procedures to give help and support if you are being bullied. People tend to describe bullying in two ways: direct bullying and indirect bullying. Sometimes it can be easier to recognise if a person is bullying you directly, but even direct bullying can be hard to interpret. Examples of direct bullying could be: rude remarks jokes or remarks about your disability insulting you in what they are saying to you or the way they are behaving towards you overbearing supervision or other misuse of power or position unwelcome sexual advances - this could be touching you, or standing too close to you while showing or displaying something that you find offensive humiliating you in front of other colleagues physical abuse. It can be more difficult to tell if you are being bullied if the bullying is indirect or underhand. Examples of indirect bullying can be: not being put forward for training or promotion persistently criticising your performance setting you tasks or deadlines that you are never going to be able to meet leaving you out or not inviting you to team social events spreading malicious rumours about you making uncalled for comments about your job security when you have been working perfectly satisfactorily; for example, saying that the last person who did your job was fired for not doing the job correctly. Bullying might not just be done face-to-face - it could happen in emails or other written documents to you, over the phone, or by being unfairly monitored for something when none of your colleagues are being singled out for the same kind of treatment. This means you are being supervised in a way that no-one else is, so you are being treated differently. What the law says about the role of your employer Although there is no legal offence of letting an employee be bullied, employers do have a duty of care to you while you are at work. Also, you can make complaints under laws covering discrimination and harassment. One of the main laws we'll look at here is the Equality Act 2010. However, it's important to remember that you could be bullied for reasons other than your disability; for example, because of your race or sex, or just because someone doesn't like you. The employer's duty of care means taking action to deal with the problem if there is bullying at work. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 employers have a duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees and if they do not keep to this they are in breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act. Equality Act 2010 If you decide to tell your employer about your diagnosis, it means that you are protected by the Equality Act 2010. The Equality Act requires public bodies to promote equality of opportunity for disabled people, and there is a whole section of the Equality Act on employment. Being protected by the Equality Act means you should be treated equally and fairly in the workplace, and should not be discriminated against on the grounds of your disability. It also means that your employer should make reasonable adjustments to help you at work. Jobs in the armed forces are not covered by the Equality Act. It is up to you if you decide to tell your employer about your diagnosis. However, there can be other benefits, as well as being protected by the Equality Act, in telling your employer about your diagnosis. By making more people aware of your condition this should help them to understand the possible support you might need. This should create a more supportive work environment for you, in which bullying is less likely to occur. It may be that you do not want your whole team to know, so you could just tell your line manager and/or the human resources team. There is more information on reasonable adjustments in the information packs we produced with the support of our specialist employment consultancy. The information has been written for employers and managers, and gives examples of reasonable adjustments they could make for staff members on the autism spectrum. You can also download the information from our website, at the following link: www.autism.org.uk/employers. What should I do if I think I'm being bullied? If you think you are being bullied, try to talk to someone about what has been happening. This could be someone you trust at work, or someone you see outside work. Sometimes, it can be hard to tell if someone is being kind or if someone is being cruel. Behaviour that seems like bullying might not be, so it would be a good idea to talk it through and give examples to someone else in order to get their opinion. One good place to be able to talk about this could be at a social group for people with an ASD. If you would like to know if there are any social groups near you, please get in touch with our Autism Helpline or search on our Autism Services Directory. Marc Segar wrote a survival guide for people with Asperger syndrome - it's a guide to help with understanding social rules and situations and talks about things like appropriate behaviour, understanding when someone is being a true friend and understanding body language. You can read Marc Segar's book online at the following link. There are a number of specialist employment organisations who have helplines you can speak to if you think you are being bullied, and their details are listed at the end of this information. If you feel comfortable doing so, talk to other colleagues at work to see if anyone else feels they are being bullied or if they have seen you being bullied. It may be that the bully is targeting other people too. It is important that you do not try to cope on your own - there are other people who will be able to help you and offer support. You should keep a diary with a clear description of what happened with the bullying. Sometimes events in isolation may look trivial, but looking at them all together shows the true effect of them. Having recorded evidence will always be helpful if you need to take things further. Good things to note in this diary would be: what happened when it happened who else was there if anybody else did or said anything how it made you feel. If you are a member of a union and there is a union safety representative where you work, you could arrange a meeting to tell them what is happening. You can talk to your union representative in complete confidence and they can offer you advice and support. This support could mean they talk to the bully themselves to try and resolve the problem, or they might provide you with support if you decide to make a formal complaint. This support should continue throughout the procedure.

YouTube starts running full-length CBS shows
By Yinka Adegoke
NEW YORK (Reuters) - YouTube, the largest video-sharing Website, has started to run full-length TV shows from CBS Corp's archive, in its latest step to boost advertising revenue by adding professional programing.
The site, owned by Google Inc, said on Friday it was talking to other TV networks to sign similar deals to CBS. Many TV networks already run short clips on YouTube, which also offers millions of home videos uploaded by users.
A mix of archive CBS shows, including "Star Trek," "Young and the Restless" and "Beverly Hills 90210," will now be available in full-length episodes of 20 minutes to 48 minutes.
The shows will have a full-length badge to distinguish them from shorter clips, and will be available in a new 'theater' mode to improve the viewing experience, YouTube said.
Until now, YouTube videos were predominantly short clips of 10 minutes or less. The company has been experimenting with full-length shows for some months with Time Warner Inc's HBO and CBS's Showtime cable networks.
The new partnership will put YouTube in more direct competition with Hulu, the online video site owned by News Corp and General Electric's NBC Universal.
Hulu features up-to-date full-length shows from News Corp's Fox networks, NBC and CBS. It also has a YouTube channel which features short-clip versions of its shows.
YouTube's audience size dwarfs Hulu. YouTube is the world's largest online video site with more than 330 million users in August, according to Web audience measurement firm comScore. Hulu by comparison had just 3.3 million users. Continued...

That leaves UPS to handle it :-\
Final post for me on this subject:Shaux and I heard from Rossman that our bee package was sent this past Monday. We received the girls on Friday morning. I assume they stuck the bees on a truck from Georgia and they arrived in Aurora, Colorado Friday morning. Quite a scene at the P.O. picking them up according to Shaux, but that is another story. The bees seemed to be in very good shape, feeder can was near empty and we installed them. They were bringing pollen in yesterday roughly 24 hours after being installed. So, they are doing well and apparently I was worrying a bit too much. :)

Durban, Nov 15: Former South African great, Graeme Pollock on Tuesday hailed Virender Sehwag as someone who can change the course of a match single-handedly.
"Sehwag certainly is the most dangerous batsman. He can be instrumental in turning a game around completely and give enough time to his team to go for victory," said Pollock.
Sehwag is often criticised for lack of footwork but Pollock felt the opener doesn't have to rely too much on feet movement.
"You do not need to have so much of footwork. The kind of player he is, he can set his own rules. You have to set your own rules and follow them," insisted Pollock.
Pollock, who himself had limited footwork during his playing days, felt that the concept of footwork is an over emphasised these days.
"Yes, footwork is overrated. You just need to get into a position, balance yourself and take advantage of a delivery.
Despite the fact that footwork is given a lot of importance by coaches these days, Pollock said that "the coaching techniques have improved a lot over the years".
The 67 year old, who averaged 60.87 from 23 Tests, said that his brand of cricket would have suited the Twenty20 version of the game.
"Yes, I think I could have played Twenty20 cricket well.
In fact, if you get your basics rights, you can actually play in any format of the game. All Test players, according to me, can play well in both one-dayers and Twenty20."
Pollock, however, said that it was not a very good sign that Test cricket is being ignored because of the increasing popularity of T20.
"I think 20 overs game is being overplayed and we are not playing enough Test matches. But it has all become so commercial and Test cricket is not making enough money. And I think players are also happy making money from T20," he explained.
Pollock, along with Gary Sobers, was once described by Sir Don Bradman as the "best left-handed batsman he has ever seen", and the South African said that it was no less than an honour to be complimented by the legend himself.
"It was incredible. You do not expect him to say such a thing when he was himself the greatest batsman in the world. I am honoured that he said that."
Admitting that he could have had an extremely successful international cricketing career had South Africa not being banned from playing cricket because of apartheid, Pollock said that to maintain top form over the years is a tough job.
"Cricket is a funny game and you need to maintain your performance over a period of time. But it was very unfortunate what happened," he concluded.

The flagship Conran Shop store was opened in 1987 in the historic Michelin House building on Fulham Road and heralded the revival of the area now known as Brompton Cross. The building was originally commissioned in 1909 by the Michelin Tyre Company as their first permanent British headquarters.
Today The Conran Shop offers everything from contemporary furnishings, famous design classics, vintage "one-off" pieces of furniture, to practical and fun accessories.
It also houses the critically acclaimed Bibendum Restaurant, named after Michelin's iconic figure, Monsieur Bibendum, or, more commonly, "The Michelin Man".

The golf course being planned for the 2016 Rio Olympics will feature Zeon Zoysia on its tees, fairways and roughs. The new course will be designed by Gil Hanse, who was selected over several big-name architects last year.
The announcement of the turf was made during the recent Golf Industry Show in San Diego and confirmed by Dr. Frank Rossi, associate professor in the Department of Horticulture at Cornell University. Rossi is serving as a consulting agronomist on the project.
The selection of Zeon Zoysia was due to the organizing committee's mandate to build a sustainable course for the first Olympic golf competition since 1904 in St. Louis.
Zeon Zoysia has very low requirements for maintenance and inputs, according to David Doguet, president of Bladerunner Farms, the company that bred the grass strain.
"Everything approaching the greens, 88 percent of the grassed area, will be Zeon Zoysia," Rossi told Golf Course Industry magazine.
It's still to be determined what type of turf will be used on the greens and surrounds. "The decision on the greens and green surrounds hinges on the quality of the water," Rossi told Golf Course Industry.
"If the water is good, the greens will be an ultradwarf bermudagrass," added Rossi. "The surrounds will be another type of bermudagrass. If the water is not good, the greens and surrounds will be some type of paspalum because the bermudagrass may not hold up to poor-quality water."

my best was 13 days
Hi Radu3329,
I understand that you are frustrated, however, our review queues fluctuate depending on the amount of files coming in. Reviewers have to deal with many, many files each day and because of this, a 3 day wait over a weekend is not unreasonable. We are hiring new reviewers to deal with our queues and speed up the process long term. For now we ask that you do your best to be patient as a 3 day wait on an item review does not mean we don't respect or value you as a member of our community.
Thank you for your feedback and if have any other issues you can always contact Support.

Okay, after a couple of days I wasn't impressed with the Juvederm. The swelling went down and then I looked in the mirror and I could tell that one lip seemed just a tad higher than the other ( a nice bells palsy look). Well I called the doctor and the nurse said that sometimes that happens and that the doctor fixes one side and then they use that as a measure. OKAY?!!! I have not heard of this... So I went back to the doctor for him to fix the lines...again. He seemed to put a lot to fix the lines but again when the swelling went down I wasn't impressed. The lines have not completely gone away and when I had Restylane they were gone. I went back to my original doctor and he said that he simply didn't use enough and that Juvederm is not as thick as Restylane. I will never make that mistake again. I am severly dissapointed. I know I spent only $300 but I would rather spend 450 and have the entire syringe used and get everything done including my lips. The only positive thing I can say is that I don't feel any bumps whatsoever.
At the End and Disspointed.
Okay, after a couple of days I wasn't impressed...

Pastors buy a ton of books, according to a new survey by the Barna Group. On average pastors purchase about forty-five titles a year, considerably more than the general population. How many books are we talking about? Protestant congregations number about 315,000 in this country, Catholic and Orthodox another 25,000. That means pastors buy about 15 million books a year, more or less.As a publishing professional, let me just pause and say thank you to all the pastors out there. My family … [Read more...]

How I learned to love Mary, mother of Jesus
The first time I really got Mary was on Good Friday a few years ago.In a very solemn service the night of Great and Holy Friday, as the day is called in the Orthodox Church, a series of funeral dirges are sung, one after another. I stood there in a dark church, a bier with an embroidered icon of the crucified Christ in the middle of the room, as the chanters and congregation expressed the mystery of the Lord's Passion in somber melodies. How could the Lord of Life die? And to what end? … [Read more...]
Mary said yes. What about us?
Many modern Christians have misgivings about Mary, but what if we checked those misgivings for a moment? There's a powerful lesson for us in the life and example of this woman, a lesson about humility, obedience, and putting faith into action. And it all starts with a yes.As the evangelist Luke gives the account, the angel Gabriel wings into view and tells Mary, then an unwed teenager, that she will conceive a child. And not just any child. This would be Jesus, the son of David, the "Son of … [Read more...]
Defending absolutes
In our culture today, to believe in -- much less confess and defend -- absolutes is deemed arrogant. To insist that something is one way and not another provokes charges of egotism, presumption, and superiority. That's tricky for Christians because we absolutely believe in absolutes. … [Read more...]
No progress without resistance
"Lot of things can get in the way when you're tryin' to do what's right." —Bob DylanNobody enjoys difficulty. No one likes opposition. No one appreciates pain. But they are necessary to progress. You can see it in business; competition and problem-solving drive innovation. You can see it in history; the great creeds of the Christian faith developed to refute heretics. The truth is that if you're paying attention, you can see just about anywhere you look.I recently heard a sermon by Fr. Patri … [Read more...]
Following Jesus in the Psalms
Jesus tells us to pick up our cross and follow him, and he makes a striking provision for us in the Psalms to do so. The Psalter—in its own way as much as the Gospels—sums up Christ's life and work while also making that life and work something with which we can identify in a powerful way. … [Read more...]

Cowell has started filming for the new season of X Factor USA and the boss is pretty hopeful about the forthcoming series.
Ratings for last year's run were poor and in December, the two-hour finale in which Tate Stevens was crowned winner was loaded with big named stars and celebrities but only attracted 9.6 million viewers, down 18 percent from its first season finale in which Melanie Amaro won the $5 million record deal.
Cowell had famously admitted that he'd hoped the show to be pulling an an average of 20 million per week so the drop was a huge disappointment to him, however he thinks things will be better in 2013.
First of all the music mogul has changed up his panel. Gone are Britney Spears and L.A. Reid and joining he and Demi Lovato instead are Latin singer Paulina Rubio and former Destiny's Child star Kelly Rowland.
After a few rounds of auditions, Simon thinks she's gotten the mix right and admitted:
"Something has definitely changed this year, I don't know what it is. The first two years we were learning to make the show but we never really made the show I wanted to make."
Speaking to Fox News he added:
"This year something has clicked, something has changed. I am feeling more confident. I am definitely not going to predict any numbers [but] I've got a good feeling."
Tweeting about the tryouts recently, Simon revealed that viewers can expect some very weird footage when the show returns and posted:
"Some of the auditions in New Orleans were just great. Some were horrendous. But we had a great time."
He added:
"I thought X factor would be fun this year with me and three girls on the panel. Be careful what you wish for! It's different……And I love it. A very different show this year. I'd does feel time for a change."

Touch-Sensitive Dress Adds High-Tech Flair To Barbie's Wardrobe [Pics]
The popular doll gets a wearable technology update with an LED infused LBD.
Being no stranger to the fashion world, Barbie has also been wearing the latest in runway couture. Keeping up with Barbie's insatiable fashion appetite, Mattel recently designed a new digital dress that uses LED and touch-screen technology. The technology embedded into the Barbie doll allows for customizable designs. With a simple tap, Kids can turn on the LEDs and change the dress color.
The ingenuity lies Barbie's little black dress, which uses a 4.5 square inch resistive touch panel and 114 tri-color LEDS. Built-in memory can store up to 40 different designs, giving Barbie one versatile outfit.
The Barbie Digital Dress Doll can be purchased here for $49.99. Seeing as how Christmas is just a few months away, maybe it is time to stock up on these tech-enhanced dolls.

Bathing houses at Muizenberg © Glassbottle
A historical beach-side suburb on the False Bay coast, Muizenberg is popular with families for its long, gentle-sloping beach, warm water (by Cape Town standards), beautiful views, and activities such as mini-golf and waterslides. The beach is famous for its row of colourful changing houses and is a photo favourite from the mountain road far above. Muizenberg beach has also long been the best place in Cape Town for beginner surfers to learn and enjoy the waves on a long friendly beach break which is less daunting and competitive than Cape Town's other surf spots. Several popular surf schools have been established at Surfers Corner at Muizenberg and there are a few fun cafes and restaurants in the corner to replenish surfers. False Bay is known for its Great White Shark population, but a shark watch service is in operation to give warning to bathers and surfers; visitors should take note of the flag and siren system which is clearly explained on signposts. A scenic walkway below the railway line links Muizenberg to the next seaside village of St James which has a lovely tidal pool. The delightful fishing village of Kalk Bay is a few minutes' drive away with its protected harbour, and its main street lined with fascinating antique and art shops, as well as cafes and restaurants.

UFO Fest brought thousands
Julia Bergman
Record Staff Writer
Alien believers, cohorts, fanatics and skeptics alike have now returned to their respective homelands, leaving behind a successful commemoration of the 65th anniversary of the 1947 incident, one of the most debated events in history.
This year, attendees soaked up the UFO madness through two simultaneous festivals: The UFO Festival Roswell 2012, sponsored by the city and MainStreet Roswell, and the 2012 Galaxy Fest, sponsored by the International UFO Museum & Research Center.
As for an economic indicator of this year's success, the dual festivals put a significant number of heads in beds, with five of the city's hotels sold out of rooms on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Many of the other hotels had fewer than 10 rooms available on Friday and Saturday.
The only complaint echoed over the weekend was about the stifling heat.
On Monday, the UFO museum hosted the final stretch of its four-day Galaxy Fest celebration. The museum brought in actress Denise Crosby, best known for her role as Lt. Tasha Yar on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," as its celebrity guest for the weekend. "She was so kind and gracious, 'take my picture. I'll stand with you all day,' very approachable and she loved the city," said Mark Briscoe, interim director for the UFO museum. "She wants to come back about four days early (next year) just so she can go all over the city and go to the other [auth] museums. She's going to bring her family."
Benjamin Hicks, 10, of Albuquerque, who arrived to Roswell on Monday, said "I like it how they've tried to make all the things for younger children to understand, and see for themselves." Hicks said he was learning a lot, as he didn't know much about aliens before his visit to the museum.
Lectures continued Monday at the museum, featuring researchers and authors with an array of backgrounds and interest relating to the phenomena.
Pennsylvania resident Doreen Carey, whose husband Tom, author of the book "Witness to Roswell," has come to the festival every year, said, "The people have been very enthusiastic. We've been asking people what they've thought about the event and they just love the museum, the kids are thrilled with this exhibit."
Tom and co-author Don Schmitt talked in-depth about deathbed confessions, those who didn't speak about the Roswell incident until they were in their final moments, and generals who were involved in the incident. Carey said their talks were very well attended.
"Ninety-eight percent of the people came to talk to the researchers and the authors and the experts. That's what brings them," Briscoe said.
A former police officer and a licensed private investigator in the state of Texas, Derrel Sims, whose work is "in the physical evidence of the alleged human-alien contact," gave six presentations throughout the Galaxy Fest. He said his first presentation was so packed that he had to turn people away.
Sims has spoken in countries all over the world. In addition to the UFO museum, his work is featured in museums in Japan and Slovakia. Sims is the founder of Saber Enterprises, an organization dedicated to the research of hard, physical evidence of human-alien interactions. Saber has a medical/scientific team, which provides him with expertise to explore such individual cases. The organization has performed 24 surgeries thus far on alleged abductees. All of the surgeries have been free to the patient, and were paid for by either Sims or medical professionals who have volunteered their help.
"The most interesting has been people walking up here, looking around to make sure no one's around, and they start telling me about all the medical evidence," Sims said.
While attendance was slightly down from last year, the UFO museum experienced a solid flow of visitors from all over the world. "I think it's due to the heat, the fires and people are watching their money," Briscoe said, reasoning why the numbers were lower than in the past. On Thursday, 850 individuals visited the museum, with 1,530 visitors on Saturday and 1,162 on Sunday. Briscoe said he expected the total number of visitors on Monday to reach 1,000.
An employee of the museum's gift shop said sales throughout the festival have been good, with Saturday being the busiest day. The most popular item was the shop's 72-inch inflatable alien.
"We had a lot of people from the city's festival who came over here and vice versa. That was great. I know they sent people down here so I really appreciate what everyone has done," Briscoe said.
The UFO Festival Roswell 2012 wrapped up on Sunday, following Saturday's successful costume and pet contests, which featured 46 registrants for the alien human contest and 14 pets, respectively.
Sienna Fleming, of Roswell, and Paloma Dooley, of New York, captured first place in Adult Most Creative, and went on to capture first overall.
"(They) were really phenomenal—truly handmade," said Laurie Rufe, director of the Roswell Museum and Art Center, of the duo's costumes, which were made out of glass pieces from three full-length mirrors.
The Goddard Planetarium continued to feature a day's worth of dynamic light shows Sunday, closing with a laser Metallica show. The lecture series at the RMAC ended with four diverse talks: Foster Ranch Debris Field; Before the UFOs Landed: A History of Roswell; Underground Bases and Tunnels; and UFO Secrecy and the Fall of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
Director of MainStreet Roswell Dusty Huckabee said the UFO festival was a huge success. "There were huge crowds at the Civic Center. When they came out of there we were able to draw them in to the courthouse lawn. Our vendors all did really well," he said.

This new video from Ubisoft gives a look at the multiplayer action for the game coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 in March 2012.
Creative director Tommy Jacob notes that when a player is under attack in cover "the camera shakes and pushes into your character affecting your field of view, focus and aim, limiting your ability to effectively return fire. There's equipment available like smoke grenades to help you get out of these situations but the best tool is having a teammate take out the enemy suppressing you."

Commentary: The Big Four: Too Few to Fail?
The Securities & Exchange Commission is finally getting around to disciplining the auditors who played supporting roles in some of the biggest corporate disasters in modern time. In mid-August, it banned two PricewaterhouseCoopers accountants from auditing public companies after they failed to follow audit rules in reviewing the books of software company Micro-Strategy Inc. and conglomerate Tyco International (TYC ).
But in both cases, key players appear to have dodged the SEC hammer. The agency didn't pursue other senior partners who signed off on the audits. And it hasn't brought charges against PwC itself, despite citing the firm or one of its auditors for improper conduct three times in the past three months. Moreover, a PwC spokesman says the firm continues to employ the Tyco accountant and stands behind the audits he oversaw from 1997 to 2001.
The mild punishment raises a troubling question that has lurked ever since last year's collapse of Arthur Andersen: Are the surviving Big Four accounting firms now too few to be allowed to fail -- and effectively beyond regulators' reach? Any severe, firmwide sanction, such as a one-year ban on auditing public companies, could put an accounting firm out of business. That would only strengthen the ever-growing concentration of the Big Four. Already, their market dominance threatens to make unworkable an idea the SEC is studying to boost auditor independence -- requiring companies to rotate audit firms every five years.
Regulators face a conundrum. They must carry a big stick but not use it to drive any of the remaining big players out of business. The SEC and the new Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), which shares accounting enforcement with the SEC, must foster competition, even if it means asking Congress to open the federal purse to subsidize small firms' expansion.
This doesn't mean SEC officials don't want to be tough. "We can't expect audit firms to correct deficiencies if there's no firmwide penalty after a string of failures," says a top agency official. Yet Andersen's failure shows how carefully they must tread. All but a handful of Andersen clients took their business to one of the remaining four: PwC, Deloitte & Touche, Ernst & Young, and KPMG. A July 30 General Accounting Office report says that businesses audited by the Big Four now account for an astounding 99% of all public-company sales. "It's a national problem," admits SEC Chairman William H. Donaldson. "We're concerned about the long-term implications."
SEC Enforcement Director Stephen M. Cutler won't say what's next in the PwC case but insists he's "determined to pursue firmwide sanctions." If so, he'll need to be creative. Already, the agency is experimenting in a case against Ernst & Young for allegedly violating rules preventing audit firms from going into business with the companies they audit. SEC lawyers are seeking to prevent E&Y from accepting new clients for six months. E&Y is fighting what it considers a draconian punishment. Beyond such temporary suspensions, the agency is also going to have to impose hefty financial penalties for the auditors to feel pain.
Fostering competition will be harder. The Big Four dwarf the rest of the profession: Annual revenues of the 20 next-largest firms combined don't equal the $3.2 billion in U.S. sales of KPMG, the smallest of the Big Four. It could take a decade for one of the second-tier firms to graduate to the bulge bracket by merging, opening new branches, and hiring the staff needed to attract a large corporate client.
To boost competition, the federal government could subsidize overseas expansion of the non-Big Four by awarding them audit contracts at, say, Defense Dept. installations. At the same time, the SEC could encourage large foreign accounting firms to compete for U.S. business, a step that Donaldson says "should be a great opportunity" for them. The sooner he sends out the invitations the better.

Truth and Confidence: Being a Life-long Learner
Dr. Everett PiperEverett Piper's Blog
- 2007 Feb 16
College for me was a starting point - an intellectual and spiritual awakening to a life of asking questions, looking for answers, and seeking direction. It was through the portal of higher education - this "wardrobe" if you will - that I entered a world of adventure, whereby, I began to turn over every stone in the pursuit of something trustworthy and immutable; something true and absolute; something worthy of my commitment and my allegiance.
Along the way I discovered that a classical liberal arts education is one that, in its purest form, pursues all questions with a paradoxical balance of confidence and humility.
Our confidence is in the truth. It is bigger than any one person, one group, or one government. It is an objective and attainable reality. It is permanent and enduring. It is not subject to the ebb and flow of personal opinion or political power . . .
To read the full article on the importance of God's objective revelation as the only foundation for life long learning go to: Truth and Confidence.

ACLU Seeks Answers Regarding the Due Process Free Killings of American Citizens
In the wake of targeted drone strikes that killed three American citizens in Yemen a few weeks back, the ACLU filed a Freedom of Information Act request seeking to compel the federal government to turn over its information regarding the legal and factual basis authorizing the killings. At the ACLU's blog, Nathan Freed Wessler writes:
The killing of three American citizens raises serious and troubling questions about whether the U.S. government was acting lawfully when it placed Anwar al-Awlaki's name on a "kill list" and when it ordered the deadly drone strikes. But the government is hiding behind a veil of secrecy and is refusing to publicly release information about its justifications for killing U.S. citizens far from any active battlefield. We know from reports in the press that the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) produced a memorandum providing legal justifications for killing al-Awlaki and that he was placed on a so-called "kill list" by a secret group of government officials. The government refuses to release the OLC memo or any other information about the legal and factual bases for killing Anwar and Abdulrahman al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, however.
Before the public can determine whether the targeted killings of these U.S. citizens were lawful, the government must come clean and release the OLC memo and other records. Indeed, commentators and legal experts from across the political spectrum, from John Bellinger III, a former legal adviser to the State Department in the Bush administration, to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein and Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, have made forceful appeals for the release of these documents. Jack Goldsmith, who ran the Office of Legal Counsel under President Bush in 2003 and 2004, wrote that the OLC memo must be released because "legal accountability for the practice of targeted killings depends on a thorough public legal explanation by the administration." Benjamin Wittes of the Brookings Institution echoed Goldsmith's call. Even John Yoo, author of the Bush administration's infamous "torture memos," has pointed out the hypocrisy of the Obama administration's refusal to release the targeted killing memo.
I've written previously about these drone strikes here and here.

"Hops and Horses", a celebration to benefit Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement, is set for April 10 in Lexington.
Old Friends, West Sixth Brewing, and Southern States are partnering in the event, which will feature Jean Cruguet, jockey of 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew; and Racing Hall of Fame nominated jockey Craig Perret.
The three-hour special event gets under way at 6 p.m. EDT on Thursday, April 10 at West Sixth Brewing, located on the corner of West Sixth Street and Jefferson Street.
Southern States is sponsoring commemorative glasses celebrating Old Friends retiree Bull Inthe Heather, winner of the 1993 Florida Derby (gr. I), with a special drawing by Anjelica Huston, along with copies of the Old Friends/Daily Racing Form magazine suitable for autographing. Guests will also receive free selections and analysis of the "late double" for the Friday, April 11 races at Keeneland.
"We cannot thank Southern States enough for their long-term support of Old Friends and helping to feed our horses. And, we'd like to salute our newest partner, and everyone at West Sixth Brewery, for their support of all these great retired athletes," said Old Friends president, Michael Blowen. "Bull Inthe Heather loves their beer and so do we."

4. In-Application Photo Editing in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Publisher
Much like the Screenshot Capture feature found in Word, the ability to edit and manipulate images from within any given application saves a lot of messing around with third party applications. Your options are surprisingly numerous, too, including the ability to make corrections (sharpen, soften and contrast), adjust colour (saturation, tone etc.), remove backgrounds, add artistic effects, crop, apply picture styles and plenty more besides.You get fast live previews of all these effects, too, making it easy to quickly integrate images into any document, presentation and so forth.
5. Embedded Videos in PowerPoint
With video increasingly the medium of choice for demonstrating anything, it's great to see it implemented in PowerPoint. Here you can embed both locally stored videos, which can be manipulated using many of the photo editing tools, as well as embed videos from online services such as YouTube and Vimeo. With locally stored videos you can even edit what part of a video you actually use, discarding what you don't need.
6. Drag & Drop Navigation Pane in Word
If you work with particularly large documents, such as manuals or thesis', Word's new Drag & Drop Navigation Pane will be a welcome relief. Provided you use the Styles dialog to create headings and sub-headings, these will appear in the Navigation Pane, from which you can navigate between and move around entire sections of your document in an instant through the universal medium of dragging and dropping. Also incorporated is a much more powerful search tool, which spits out results just like a web search engine and just as fast – faster in fact.

Good one God Bless them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that is how we do that. Kudos to them for being able to stop what could easily have turned into a blood bath. May the mayor, local DA and others see fit to give credit where due and avoid (for once) the condemnation and legal wranglings against "vigilante" behavior. The police weren't right there; they were, and lives were at stake. It really is that simple.
Strange - I'm sure someone will be along shortly to take Memphis PD to task for not giving the obligatory statement:
"Of course they were brave, but they could have been hurt. We never advocate a civilian stepping in on their own, they should wait for the police"
Seriously, I'm glad that there was finally a PD who gave credit where credit was due without couching it in the standard "don't be the hero" clause.
If this trend will be use every were a lot of bad guys will think twice about doing bad things since they know that people will be looking for this type of action specially if it gets recognize by the state..
Cubsmurf you beat me to it. You sent this to me because I missed it in today's paper and I was going to post it here. But, you were faster than me.
I think those two deserve some type of commendation. They did a great job and "good job" from the Memphis PD would surely be in order.
Can anyone local to this story find the names or emails for the local PD? Maybe a few letters would help push them into giving the brothers recognition for their actions.
Good for them
Excellent result and kudos in abundance to the brothers.
On the front page of todays paper is a large picture of the two brothers holding their guns. William Webber is holding a 2 tone Kahr .40 cal and Paul Webber is holding a Keltec P3AT, which he has his finger on the trigger of....
But, there is a much more detailed write up of the incident in the paper today.
Turns out, the man they stopped and held at gun point for 5 minutes until police showed up was also a permit holder. That doesn't sound so good for our side. Also, Paul is quoted as saying that this is the 3rd time he has pulled his .380. Once was while in a drive through when a pan handler grabbed his arm. They had to throw that in there to make him sound like a gun nut I guess.
But these two did a great job in this instance. The police seem to be pretty supportive of what they did and how they did it. They ought to considering it took the cops 5 minutes to get to a busy part of the city . Perkins road is heavily traveled and I wouldn't have expected it to take 5 minutes for an officer to get there.
Turns out too that William (The one who carries the Kahr) works at a Lennys Sub Shop in Arlington, the town I live in. So, I will be sure to go by there this weekend and buy a sub and congratulate him.
Here's the online article....and he actually DOESN'T have his finger on the trigger. On the front page, you can clearly see it's BEHIND the trigger. Looks bad, but still safe.
Brothers in arms??? Nice article, thanks for posting it.
Wow, that is some article! The brothers were given a fantastic (and fantastically rare) chance to speak good about CCW, and they did okay!
It's funny how the article worded the part about it being William's first "opportunity" to pull his Kahr. Makes it sound like he was hoping for a chance! :laughing: Between that and the use of "take security into their own hands," I can't tell if the article is supposed to be pro or disparaging about CCW. (I'm thinking pro, but perhaps in a clumsy or reckless way.)

Burundi lawmakers passed a media law on Monday that restricts journalistic freedom by limiting topics that can be reported on and reducing the protection afforded to sources. The bill prohibits stories [HRW report] that could affect Burundi's "national unity; public order and security; morality and good conduct; honor and human dignity; national sovereignty; the privacy of individuals; the presumption of innocence" or issues involving "propaganda of the enemy of the Burudian nation in times of peace as of war" and "information that could affect the credit of the state and the national economy." The law requires journalists to have a university degree in journalism or a minimum of two years of professional journalistic experience to report. Violators face fines ranging between USD $2,000 and $6,000.
Human rights organizations such as Human Rights Watch and Reporters Without Borders (RSF) [advocacy websites] have criticized the bill saying it violates Burundian journalists' freedom of speech. RSF said [RSF report] "the new law restricts journalists' ability to do investigate reporting," and "the country has gone backwards more than 20 years." In May, the National Communication Council (CNC) suspended for 30 days [Guardian report] a Burudian newspaper's online forum. The council said the reader's comments violated the law, specifically "endangering national unity, public order and security." The newspaper has responded by suspending its entire website until July 1. In May 2011 journalist Jean Claude Kavumbagu was acquitted of treason charges [HRW report] after being arrested in July 2010 for questioning the Burundian army and their capability to defend in an article. He was found guilty of being likely to "discredit the state or economy."

Where would I find the eagle footprint for this?
I've ordered this and it fits my CR1220 fine. CR1220s are 12.5 x 2.0mm. Would the CR1225 that you sell also fit even thought is a little thicker at 12.5 x 2.5 mm?
