Bryan Adams sees independence as future of music
By Michelle Nichols
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Canadian rocker Bryan Adams has some advice for his younger counterparts as he prepares for the self-funded release of his 11th studio album in America -- take control of your music.
Best known for hits like "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" and "Summer of '69" over a career of nearly 30 years, Adams said he has not been signed to a record label in the United States for more than four years and loves the freedom.
"I really recommend it to most artists to take control of their music if they can," the rocker-turned-photographer said in an interview for "Hear the World" -- www.hear-the-world.com -- an exhibition of his celebrity photos to promote awareness of hearing loss that opened in New York on Friday.
"It's really time for artists to take control of what they're doing and appreciate what it takes to move forward," said Adams. "I really didn't understand how much went on behind the scenes in promoting a record."
With several new artists having hits without the backing of a major record label, Adams says he believes independence "is what the music business is coming to."
Adams is signed to Universal Music Group internationally and, according to his Web site www.bryanadams.com, his new album "11" debuted in the top 10 in 11 countries -- including No. 6 in Britain -- when it was released in March.
In the United States, the album will be released exclusively through retail giant Wal-Mart on May 13.
"I know already that we're better off here doing it myself than when I was with a label," he said. "There's four times the interest just by doing it ourselves because we're creating our own buzz." Continued...

GUTAI: SPLENDID PLAYGROUND to Open 2/15 at the Guggenheim Museum
During the group's lifetime, Gutai artists showed on four continents and distributed their magazine, the Gutai journal, to contacts around the world. In 1962, Yoshihara established the Gutai Pinacotheca, which became the center of the group's activities, functioning as an exhibition space and a site for international engagement. In 1958, the Gutai group was featured in their first exhibition in the United States, at the legendary Martha Jackson Gallery in New York. It was not until 1965, however, when Gutai was included in a show at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam on the Nul and Zero movements that Gutai's role as a pioneer of intermedia experimental art was fully recognized. Long misunderstood abroad as a painting movement by virtue of the group's 1957-65 collaborations with French Informel critic Michel Tapié, the full spectrum and historic contexts of Gutai's highly innovative cross-genre approaches to art making within an international context have remained understudied.
The exhibition is accompanied by a fully illustrated, 316-page catalogue with essays by Alexandra Munroe and Ming Tiampo and texts by Pedro Erber, Hirai Shoichi, Kato Mizuho, Judith Rodenbeck, Reiko Tomii, and Midori Yoshimoto. The book is designed by Miko McGinty, Inc.

A short 18-day turnaround proved to be no problem for the speedy Mani Bhavan, who became a grade I winner in her third start with a front-running 1 1/4-length victory in the $250,000 Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga Race Course Aug. 31 (VIDEO).
The prohibitive 7-10 choice, unbeaten Mani Bhavan is yet to be headed at any call. She repelled a challenge from Jardin near mid-stretch and edged away under brisk handling from jockey Alan Garcia in the final furlong. The daughter of Storm Boot completed the seven-furlong test, Saratoga's signature race for 2-year-old fillies, in 1:25.23 on a fast track.
Delaware-based Steve Klesaris trains Mani Bhavan for owners Puglisi Racing and TYB Stable. The dark bay or brown filly won Saratoga's Adirondack Stakes (gr. II) 18 days earlier by seven lengths.
Mani Bahvan sprinted away to an early 2 1/4-length lead while posting an opening quarter-mile in :22.18. With Casanova Move and Jardin prompting her, Mani Bhavan continued to dictate the pace with a half-mile in :45.46. Jardin, racing along the inside, angled out entering the stretch and nearly reached even terms. But after Garcia got busy on her, Mani Bhavan increased her advantage over Jardin, who drifted in late, to two lengths and held sway in the final stages to post a comfortable win.
"It was a gutsy performance," Klesaris said. "The runner-up ran a great race, and Mani Bhavan dug in to fight her off. Midway down the stretch, I was concerned. Jardin was coming relentlessly. My filly was digging down and (had) enough to hold her off. I don't know what's next. Today was a good test. We'll go back to the drawing board and evaluate and see what's next."
Garcia said Mani Bhavan was restless in the starting gate but came away swiftly.
"I wasn't nervous when I saw Jardin coming at us," he said. "I knew I still a lot of horse to keep going. When she was coming closer to us, my filly was trying hard. I didn't want to be too hard on her because I wanted to save her for the next race."
Jardin, ridden by Robby Albarado, settled for second, 5 1/4 lengths in front of the show horse Collegiate, the 3-1 second favorite ridden by Edgar Prado. Casanova Move, Winning Brew and August Rush, who stumbled at the start, completed the order.
A $30,000 Keeneland yearling purchase in September 2007, Mani Bhavan, at odds of 7-1, broke in with a 9 1/4-length win over maiden allowance company going five furlongs at Delaware Park July 12. She came back a month later to coast to victory in the 6 1/2-furlong Adirondack, where she was ridden for the first time by Garcia at odds of 17-2. She earned $150,000 for the victory and has banked $264,000 in her brief career.
Hermitage Farm in Kentucky bred Mani Bhavan, who is out of Rehear, by Coronado's Quest.
She paid $3.40, $2.50 and $2.10 while topping a $2 exacta worth $12.20.
Jardin, winner of the opening day Schuylerville Stakes (gr. III) on a sloppy Saratoga strip July 23 for trainer Steve Asmussen, returned $4 and $2.70.
"I thought she ran a beautiful race," said Asmussen a day after 2007 Horse of the Year Curlin's big win in the Woodward Stakes (gr. I). "Robby (Albarado) gave her a dream trip and finished second. It looked like Robby had a shot to get (Mani Bhavan), but she was getting tired."
Collegiate, an impressive first-out maiden winner at Belmont Park prior to a fourth-place finish in the Schuylerville, was $2.60 to show for trainer Mark Hennig.

About TheCommunity.com
A news and content site helmed by a man who has dedicated his life to peace and democracy, brought two countries out of conflict, saved a people from annihilation, and won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work.
TheCommunity.com was born of a unique synergy between a Nobel Peace Prize winner, José Ramos-Horta, and a California web developer, Mary Wald.
Mary brought 14 years of PR and editorial experience to the partnership, and more than 10 years in web development and social media. Ramos-Horta brought an uncanny intelligence and wisdom, born of 24 years as a human rights leader and highly skilled diplomat, working to save the people of Timor-Leste (formerly East Timor) from annihilation at the hands of occupiers.
His work had culminated in winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1996. This was followed by Timor-Leste throwing off the occupation and achieving independence, and the birth of Timor-Leste as the millennium's newest democracy.
Ramos-Horta's service to Timor-Leste took him on a path from freedom fighter to diplomat and human rights activist to Foreign Minister then Prime Minister, and finally President and "founding father" of the fledging democracy. From there he would be asked to be a Special Representative of the UN Secretary General to Guinea Bissau, a small unstable democracy in Africa that had suffered under a military coup.
In April 2014 José Ramos-Horta took Guinea Bissau through peaceful elections, putting the country back on the democratic track and peacefully transferring power back into the hands of the citizenry.
In the course of his work, Ramos-Horta has established a growing network of world leaders, fellow Nobel laureates, and leaders in thought that became a foundation for TheCommunity.com in its early days, and today becomes the base for the site's next phase as an international news and content site .
Simultaneously, Mary and a small team have utilized this network and worked with Ramos-Horta to launch actions on key human rights and peace building issues, and bring the stories of those who have changed the world for the better to light. The impassioned team of five have repeatedly brought the artist community and other creative leaders to the table in support of the messages of the Nobel Peace Prize laureates.
Today this "passion project"of a small inspired handful of people, underfunded and squeezed in between other "real" jobs, has had the participation of 27 Nobel Peace Prize winners, and some of the world's most recognizable artists , including Paul McCartney, Robert De Niro, Harrison Ford, Gwyneth Paltrow, Christie Turlington, Ron Howard and others. Bono, Michael Douglas and Paul Simon each shot episodes for a web series, the What's so hard about Peace? series, to be released in 2014. Notables including Kathy Calvin, President of the UN Foundation, and Martha Nelson, former Editor of People Magazine and Editor in Chief of Time, Inc. have been friends and advisors to the site. The site's content has been covered by the Associated Press, the New York Times, LA Times, People.com, CNN, Washington Post, USA Today, Malaysia New Straits Times, Hong Kong Morning Post, ABC Evening News, Entertainment Tonight, and other media around the world.
In a world where the news is quickly being reduced to celebrity gossip and grisly and bizarre stories with "click through potential", we believe that voices of peacemakers, activists, Nobel Peace Prize laureates and other leaders who are effectively making our world a better place to live are sorely needed. TheCommunity.com is in a prime position to deliver these voices to the world.
We strongly believe that TheCommunity.com will be a significant new force for news and content on the web, going beyond the US-centric view of world news and speaking to the vast audience of people who want to hear the voices of sanity amid the chaos.

The UNC Policy Manual
Adopted 04/09/10
Repealed 10/24/14
The University of North Carolina General Administration

I. Purpose
The Tuition Waiver Program provides an opportunity for eligible employees to have the tuition waived for up to two courses at any of the constituent institutions of The University of North Carolina per academic year. Participation is voluntary and courses may be taken for career development or for personal interest. The waiver of tuition for UNC General Administration employees is approved by the Board of Governors, as authorized by NC G.S. 116-143.

C. Tuition – the Tuition charged for credit instruction, regardless of when the instruction occurs or by what means it is delivered. Campus policy must specify under what circumstances, if any, an Employee may receive a waiver for receipts-supported courses. Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute § 116-143.1(m), a full-time employee of the University of North Carolina who is a legal resident of North Carolina qualifies as a resident for tuition purposes irrespective of the length of legal residency in the State.
D. Fees – student fees required for attendance at an institution related to credit instruction, regardless of when the instruction occurs or by what means it is delivered. Fees such as travel, laboratory, books, materials, registration fees, athletic services and parking fees are not covered under this policy. Not all institutions offer a fee waiver.
E. Period of normal employment — the period of time from the start of employment within the University of North Carolina and ending with the satisfaction or discontinuation of the assignment or contract for full-time employment.
F. Normal employment obligations — those services that the faculty or staff member is obligated by written or oral contract or agreement to perform for the employing institution.
G. Academic Year — a fall semester, spring semester, and the summer semesters that follow, or courses taken as distance education.
II. Eligibility
In order to participate, an employee must meet the following criteria:
· Maintain permanent employment status at 75% time (30 hours per work week) or more for the entire semester during which the course is taken.
· Meet the academic requirements for admission to the course/program at the enrolling institution.
· Register for courses in accordance with instructions for the program under which the employee is admitted. Space must be available in the course.
Loss of Eligibility - If an employee's work schedule changes to less than 30 hours per week during the period of attendance, or if the employee separates from permanent employment during the period of attendance, the employee will be billed for all or part of the tuition for the entire semester even if s/he officially withdraws from the course, as provided in the policies and procedures established by the Cashier's Office of the enrolling institution. However, this payment requirement shall not apply to an employee who is eligible under this policy at the time of enrollment in a course and is later reduced in force (SPA) or discontinued for budgetary reasons (EPA) prior to the completion of the course. This exception does not apply to the end of a time-limited or term (appointed) position.
III. Program Overview
Tuition will be waived for any eligible employee wishing to enroll in up to two (2) courses within the UNC system within an academic year. Certain fees may also be waived, but shall be limited according to the institutional policy determined by the Board of Trustees at each university.
Tuition may be waived for more than one course in the same academic term. Tuition waiver may cover such courses as regular undergraduate- and graduate-level courses, online courses, self-paced courses, and independent studies courses.
Departments are encouraged to offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate employee participation. Courses may be taken during the employee's work day as long as it does not interfere with normal employment obligations. Course attendance including lectures, meetings, labs or other activities associated with courses funded through the Tuition Waiver Program is not counted as work time.
IV. Procedures
Prior to the approval, commencement of a course for which Tuition and/or Fee waiver is requested:
· The employee needs to follow the process of applying and being admitted to a program of study that is separate and apart from the Tuition Waiver process outlined herein. Each admissions office has its own deadlines to which the employee must adhere.

The forms are available on the HR website at the following link http://www.northcarolina.edu/hr/ga/benefits/educational/Tuition_Waiver_Applicaiton.pdf or from the Benefits Office at 910 Raleigh Road.
· The employee shall obtain manager/supervisor approval then submit the Tuition Waiver request to the UNC General Administration Benefits Specialist for approval prior to the Tuition Waiver deadline.
Please note: Tuition waiver deadlines may vary from institution to institution. Employees are responsible for knowing the deadline applicable to the institution at which they are enrolled. Tuition waiver applications must be processed and approved by Human Resources then forwarded to the enrolling institution by that institutions deadline.
· The Benefits Specialist will verify the employee's eligibility and will return the completed copy to the employee for delivery to the Enrolling Institution.

My wife just received a letter from our congresswoman, Shelley Moore Capito. It reads, in part:
I have always been a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights throughout my time in Congress. The right of law abiding citizens to keep and bear arms is enshrined in both our federal constitution and in West Virginia's state constitution. Responsible gun ownership is part of our heritage in West Virginia and I have heard from thousands of West Virginians who have expressed their opposition to a new federal ban on certain firearms. I believe that the legislation proposed by Senator Feinstein represents poor public policy. Should the bill come before the House of Representatives, I will oppose it.
I believe that Congress must instead take steps to improve our mental health system, address the spread of violence on television and in video games, and ensure that our existing gun laws are enforced in order to prevent felons and those with serious mental conditions from owning and possessing a gun. Mental illness has been a common denominator in a number of recent mass killings, and government has a role to play in making sure that treatment is available and accessible before a violent act occurs. I will work in support of legislation that improves the safety of our communities and protects our children by addressing the causes of violence.
Again, thank you for contacting me with your views on this issue. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. It is an honor to serve you in Congress.
Shelley Moore Capito, M.C.
I was glad to see her address the issue of mental illness. And I know the issue of violence in movies, television and video games is debatable, but she is at least looking for real answers and is working outside the usual "guns cause crime" mentality. Overall it was a positive response. We were pleased to learn of Rep Capito's gun-positive views.
I can live with that.

Good letter. Looks like is is 100% on our side.
Only way it could of been any better is if she referred to Feinstein as that Bat Feces Crazy legislator from California
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

Refreshing to see a Congress person finally say what they will or will not do and what they believe in...(other than keep your comments in mind)....
We got the same letter from her. She's a great representative and I hope and pray she wins the Senate race for Rockefellers seat. She's all ready declared her candidacy. She has the guts that Manchin lacks. He's turned out to be a boot licker for Obama.

At least his office responds. Rockefeller's office rarely even bother's to send out a form letter.

GE purchase of Alstom energy firm not finalized
By Jonathan Fahey, AP Tuesday, May 6, 2014, 12:02 am TWN
NEW YORK--General Electric inched closer to buying the energy-related businesses of France's Alstom by making a US$16.9 billion bid, but rival offers and the concerns of French politicians may hold up or scuttle the deal.
GE's bid, announced Wednesday, has been endorsed by Alstom's board, but the board will wait up to a month to formally accept or reject it. GE would obtain the parts of Alstom that make and service electric power generation and transmission equipment. Alstom would keep its transportation division, which makes high-speed trains.
GE values the acquisition at US$13.5 billion because it will acquire US$3.4 billion of Alstom's cash if the deal closes.
But the deal is far from done. France's government, which regularly intervenes in corporate decision making, has questioned whether selling Alstom to Fairfield, Connecticut-based GE threatens the country's energy independence and jobs. Alstom has formed a committee of independent board members to examine GE's proposal.
Officials in France had pressed for a delay to allow GE's German rival, Siemens, time to form its own bid. Siemens said in a statement Tuesday that it would make an offer if Alstom allowed it access to company data and allowed it to perform due diligence.
Alstom's board said it unanimously recognized the GE deal's strategic and industrial merits, and Alstom called the deal "practically perfect."
GE CEO Jeff Immelt said in a conference call with investors Wednesday that Alstom first contacted GE about a deal in mid-February. He said the French company questioned whether it was large enough and geographically spread out enough to remain profitable over the long term in the global energy business.
The deal would put GE back into businesses it has abandoned, including equipment that generates electricity in hydroelectric plants and with steam in coal-fired and nuclear plants. That business is not expected to grow at all in Europe, but it could help GE grow in developing markets.
Heymann questioned whether Siemens has the cash to make a good offer to Alstom. It is already in talks to buy the power generation assets of Rolls-Royce, and credit agencies have suggested Siemens is at risk of a downgrade if its cash balance dips much further.
Siemens could offer Alstom a swap, though, sending its railroad division to Alstom in exchange for Alstom's energy business. That would likely be welcomed in France because it would bolster Alstom.
If GE prevails, though, finance chief Jeff Bornstein said GE would use US$9.5 billion of its own cash and borrow US$4 billion, to be paid back over five years, for the rest. The deal is expected to immediately begin adding to GE's earnings per share after it closes. GE said it would continue to pay and grow its dividend, but cut back on share buybacks and likely refrain from other acquisitions through next year.
GE expects to cut US$1.2 billion in annual costs after the deal closes. That usually involves closing factories and cutting jobs, just the kind of thing French politicians are concerned about.

FreeBSD is not particularly difficult to use, and its integrated documentation is adequate, but it can take a long time to figure out which packages you need to install in order to get certain services running, and how to configure them once installed. Even if you're familiar with the programs you need to use, learning how they work with FreeBSD can be a challenge.
If you are totally new to Unix-like operating environments, this guide could be a little over your head in some places, but if you read it from start to finish and stick with it when things get difficult, you'll end up with a functional and useful operating system. If you already have some experience with any Unix-like operating system, you'll probably feel right at home with FreeBSD and may want to skip ahead to the sections that apply to you.
While there are some suggestions and system administration tips sprinkled throughout The FreeBSD Crash Course, it is not designed to teach you how to administer a server. It's impossible to anticipate each reader's hardware configuration and goals for working with FreeBSD, so instead of telling you how to set up your machine to perform specific tasks, this guide will show you how to install and configure various services and programs.
This Short Cut is organized into two sections: desktop and server. From those two starting points, you can customize FreeBSD to meet nearly any need. If you're new to FreeBSD, start at the beginning and skip ahead when you hit a section that isn't relevant to what you need to do.

Compact and filled with good tips, Index would be appreciated

Comments about oreilly The FreeBSD 6.2 Crash Course:
With ONLY roughly 80 pages this shortcut contains quite a few Tips and Tricks. It is so full of them that the only 2 minor points I found where1) A index would be appreciated2) Some topics could have been explained a bit more detailed.Anything other than that I would say its a worthwhile shortcut, especially if you just need a quickly brushup on FressBSD. Newcomers will find it a good jumpstart but will naturally require other documentation to follow up.

Here's the question: Is there any "good" location for a lot of structures that don't have a radius displayed? (especially all the various rewards and other buildings you unlock)
For example, the Disease Research Center. Will it function the same whether its in the center of the city, isolated in some mountain, in the middle of a huge section of dirty industry, etc?
Same for others, like Radio Station, Farmer's Market, University, and pretty much other thing, including non-rewards like City College and Museum.
Secondly, exactly what effect do the following things have:
-Radio/TV Station (minor boost to C? Only certain types?)
-Farmer's Market (boost to I-Ag, useless if no I-Ag in city?)
-State Fair (bigger boost to I-Ag?)
-House of Worship+Cemetary?
-Private Schools (do they actually function like a "free" school for your city?)
and so on.
Also, it's obvious the toxic waste dump is negative to the surrounding area (since it falls under Radiation), but does the Army Base, Federal Prison, and Missile Range have any negative effects? Besides the missiles randomly hitting your city, that is.
Thanks in advance for answers.

Video/Notebook: Green Bay Volleyball Clicking on Offense, Defense
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Green Bay (3-4) played some of its best volleyball of the young season over the weekend at the UND Classic, leaving Grand Forks, N.D., with two wins and a high level of confidence about both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
The Phoenix started the tournament with an exciting five-set victory over Stephen F. Austin on Friday night and ended it with a dominant 3-0 sweep of South Dakota on Saturday. The team's lone defeat was a hard-fought loss to tournament champ North Dakota, which also had a 2-1 record but won the title based on set winning percentage.
Offensively, Green Bay out-hit its opponents .237 to .176 at the UND Classic, finishing with the edge in kills, assists and service aces. Junior Lyndsay Zabkowicz (Oak Creek, Wis.) - who had a career-high 22 kills against SFA - led the Phoenix with 44 kills, and five Green Bay players had at least 19 kills in the three matches. Junior Leah Poel (Jenison, Mich.) managed the Phoenix attack with 115 assists, averaging more than 10 per set.
Senior Brittany Groth (Oak Creek, Wis.) led the Green Bay defense with 61 digs at the UND Classic, helping her earn All-Tournament honors. Poel also had a solid tournament on the defensive end, picking up 44 digs and three blocks, while junior Katie Mroczenski (New Berlin, Wis.) posted a team-high 12 blocks to help the Phoenix win the block battle 21-18.
Green Bay looks to continue its well-balanced play this weekend at the South Dakota State Jackrabbit Invitational when it plays host SDSU on Friday at 7 p.m. and Bradley on Saturday at 1 p.m.
Phoenix head coach Debbie Kirch joined host Ryan Hartwig on Wednesday for this week's episode of Match Point. The two recapped Green Bay's successful trip to North Dakota, talked about some standout individual performances and previewed the upcoming Jackrabbit Invitational. To watch this week's show, click here.
The Phoenix has demonstrated strong defensive play to start the 2012 campaign, leading the Horizon League in two of the major statistical categories. Green Bay is tops in blocks (2.12) and digs (18.54) per set, registering 51 total blocks and 445 digs in 24 sets played.
Groth currently leads all Horizon League players with 5.96 per set. Her league-best 143 digs in 24 sets played is 14 ahead of Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Taylor Root from Valpo, who has 129 in 27 sets (4.78). The senior registered 61 digs in the UND Classic over the weekend and was named to the all-tournament team, and earlier this year broke Green Bay's record for digs in a three-set match (29, Aug. 25 vs. Auburn). For her efforts, she was named Horizon League Defensive Player of the Week for the fourth time in her career on Aug. 27.
Groth now has 1,314 career digs, good for fifth on Green Bay's all-time list, and will need 476 more to pass Megan Elfering (2005-08) as the school's career leader. As a junior in 2011 she set the school record for digs in a season with 659 - 82 more than Elfering's 577 in 2008 - and her 5.78 digs per set average ranked ninth among all NCAA Division I players.
Zabkowicz knocked home a career-high 22 kills in Green Bay's 3-2 win over Stephen F. Austin in the opening match of the UND Classic last Friday. The total broke her previous career-best of 18, which she achieved her freshman season in a contest at Milwaukee. The junior leads the Phoenix with 78 kills - a figure that ranks fifth among Horizon League players.
Senior Carmen Leitermann (Schofield, Wis.) is in the top 10 in the Horizon League in two categories, ranking fifth (.324) in hitting percentage and eighth (0.79) in blocks per set. She recorded the league's top individual hitting percentage effort against Auburn (Aug. 25) when she hit .545, registering 13 kills on 22 swings. With nine so far in 2012, Leitermann has moved into second on Green Bay's all-time solo blocks list with 85 (97, Marie Kaland, 1992-95), and also ranks eighth on the school's total blocks list (292).
Poel has recorded five straight double-doubles (assists and digs), averaging nearly 10 assists per set and 3.67 digs per set in the last five matches. She notched season highs in both categories in Friday's win over Stephen F. Austin, totaling 51 assists and 18 digs. She then celebrated her 20th birthday on Saturday by totaling 64 assists and 26 digs in the final two contests (six sets) of the UND Classic.
The Phoenix is in the midst of its longest road stretch of the season, playing nine straight away from home after opening the season with the Green Bay/Country Inn & Suites Tournament at the Kress Center Aug. 24-25. The team's next home match is set for Sept. 21 when it hosts Cleveland State to open Horizon League competition.

Six Spanish women on holiday in Mexico were raped by an armed gang who broke into their rented beach bungalow in Acapulco as they slept.
Five masked men attacked the women after tying up their partners with telephone cords and elastic from their swimwear.
The rapists spared a Mexican woman who was staying with the group.
Acapulco's mayor Luis Walton condemned the crime and promised that those responsible would be caught.
The attack happened in the early hours yesterday at Playa Bonfil just south of the city centre.
The gang fled with their victims' valuables including cash, credit cards and mobile phones. The women, aged between 30 and 32, are receiving counselling.
Acapulco is one of Mexico's oldest beach resorts and attracted Hollywood stars including Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra and Brigitte Bardot in the Fifties.
Ten Hollywood actors, led by John Wayne and former Tarzan actor Johnny Weissmuller, bought a local hotel and helped to turn Acapulco into one of the most fashionable resorts of the era.
Packed crowds have gathered on its cliff tops since the Thirties to watch professional divers plunge 130 feet into the shallow waters of the Pacific.
Thousands of American teenagers still travel to Acapulco for spring breaks every year. However, its glamorous reputation has been tarnished in recent years by the rival drugs cartels that have turned parts of the city into no-go areas.
Two Mexican tourists were injured on Saturday after trying to drive through a roadblock set up by locals who have formed self-defence groups to combat drug-related violence.
British tourists now favour alternative resorts including Cancun on Mexico's Pacific coast, despite recent official figures pointing to a fall in violence in Acapulco and a rise in the number of holidaymakers there last summer, following year-on-year falls.

The Earth's thin shell was quaking and cracking millions of years before human sinners evolved, and it will still be wrenched and convulsed long after we are gone. These geological dislocations have no human-behavioral cause. The believers should relax; no educated person is going to ask their numerous gods "why" such disasters occur. A fault is not the same as a sin.

We have so much that needs to be done to elevate our kids in math and science, the focus of education should be right there.
Richard Ray, Tennessee Board of Education member, on new state guidelines allowing "nonsectarian, nonreligious academic study of the bible"
Associated Press, 2-1-10
What is different is that today's atheists are not hiding behind other labels, such as agnosticism, in order to placate religious sensibilities. It is this lack of deference, more than anything else, that has outraged religious believers — particularly those on the right — in America. Most have confused their constitutional right to believe whatever they want with the idea that the beliefs themselves must be inherently worthy of respect.
Author Susan Jacoby
The Washington Post, 2-2-10
We are religious people. But we were offended when Mr. Freshwater burned a cross onto the arm of our child. . . . We are Christians who practice our faith where it belongs, at church and in our home and, most importantly, outside the public classroom, where the law requires a separation of church and state.
Jennifer Dennis, Mount Vernon, Ohio, whose son's eighth-grade science teacher faces termination for proselytizing
New York Times, 1-19-10
They say there are no atheists in foxholes. But as we sat in those holes, praying that God would save us, I thought about the fact that the other side was doing the same thing. And then I wondered if God is just playing some kind of game with us. Pretty much I decided at that point there was no God.

You took her from us, Matt, you discarded her like she was yesterday's trash . . . and you left so many other victims. What you did was horrific, and I believe you are capable of much more evil. But love triumphs evil. Do you hear me, Matt? Love triumphs evil.
Linda Dulin, to Rev. Matt Baker after his conviction for the murder of Dulin's daughter Kari Lynn, who was Baker's wife

We know what caused the catastrophe in Haiti. It was the bumping and grinding of the Caribbean Plate rubbing up against the North American Plate: a force of nature, sin-free and indifferent to sin, unpremeditated, unmotivated, supremely unconcerned with human affairs or human misery.

You have to blog every day. And he's an 80-something-year-old guy, so maybe he's not always going to want to blog. He should have some favorite YouTube videos that he can just slap up there when he's feeling kind of tired. Like the parade scene from Ferris Bueller. Slap that up there and that's a day's blogging.

I was wondering if anybody could help me out. I am looking for some land to hunt geese in the RP zone of Pennsylvania.

If anybody knows of anywhere within striking distance of the Lehigh Valley please let me know and I would gladly reciprocate.

water ruining my facia
So who ever put my roof on didnt leave enough over hang on the shingles. The water just curls around and runs down the facia.I just put new facia boards on the back of my house and I want to divert the water away.I bought some galvinized metal flashing that comes in a roll. It is 8" wide. I have done a small section of my roof by shoving the flashing up under the first course of shingles and using the black roofing cement that comes in a caulking tube to tack it down.Two questions. Is this a bad thing to do? seems like it will work but Im worried about the adhesive sticking to the flashing. Is there a better adhesive than what I have used? Thanks in advance.:)
I'm no a roofer---but I believe you are reinventing the wheel---
There is a metal drip edge available that is designed to do exactly what you want----
A roofer will be along to explain more-----
You maybe able to get away with screwing the back of the gutter to the facia, thus sealing the gap. You maybe able to lift the drip edge(if there) away from the gutter a little so the water goes to the gutter, instead of behind. You maybe able to install a leaf relief type gutter screen that acts as a drip edge, not my favorite. I will let a roofer explain the proper way.
Soulds as ugly as a bucket of boogers to me.
Got a picture?
Galvinized is just going to rust out at some point.
Where the drip edge?
What you are doing sounds OK, but roofing, maybe more than any other trade is a sequential operation, wherein one operation must follow another in the proper order. In your case, the drip edge should be properly enveloped with ice dams protection membrane, and the way you are doing it you will not have much defense against ice damming.
Just catching up on the most recent posts right before i go get dinner. I think dinner will have to wait now, i can't get that image of a bucket of buggers out of my head. thx Joe.
thanks guys. thanks for the link Joe!

Arlee Augments Back-to-School Business
September 29, 2008,
New York —The back-to-school and back-to-college season is proving a highlight on the selling calendar of Arlee Home Fashions.
He added that some of Arlee's deep-discount retail accounts who had never offered back-to-school products entered the category for the first time this year, "and had much success."
Another point of emphasis is the new Living Easy collection of weather-resistant outdoor cushions, dec pillows, placemats and chair pads; these goods answer not only to spring and summer periods but in some cases year-round use, he said.
In dec pillows, Arlee is still keeping its prices in the range of $9.99 to $12.99, said Frankel, while breathing new life into longtime solid-colored favorites. New offerings include updated two-pack sets that for the first time include fashion looks like textured and multi size sets, vs. the earlier solid colored two-pillow packs.
The open line has been refreshed with embroideries, quilted and stitching detailing, trims and pleating to subtly dress up popular solid-colored styles while maintaining contemporary trends.
In other news, Arlee recently hired Lisa Battaglia as its new director of product development, reporting to Frankel. She replaces Robert Panko, who left the company earlier this year to study interior design.
Battaglia comes most recently from Sunham, where she served as design director for three years. Prior to that, she held the same post at Ellery for one-and-a-half years.

Subaru Viziv Evolution Concept looks strangely familiar....
The Tokyo Motor Show has proven to be far deeper and more interesting in 2013 than it has been in recent years, surely a trailing indicator of the revived auto industry in Japan and throughout the world. Still, we have seen a few concept cars that have been nearly 'recycled' from shows earlier in the season.
This Subaru Viziv Evolution concept is a case in point it looks not unlike the Viziv Concept that the company hauled over to the Geneva Motor Show in March of this year. What gives?
Well, the original Viziv wrapped its sexy crossover-coupe bodywork around a powertrain composed of a 2.0-liter diesel engine and three electric motors, two of which powered the two rear wheels (another trendy hybrid setup). This new "Evolution" of the Viziv is not dissimilar from its progenitor, swapping in a small displacement gasoline-powered engine for the diesel unit. All of this is based on reports out of Tokyo, mind you, as official information on the car is scarce at the moment.
Visually, the Subaru design team has left well enough alone, swapping in a few black trim pieces on the exterior to show that changes under the hood have taken place. That's not bad, as the Viziv was pretty handsome to begin with.

Great eye doctor!
Dr. Sullivan is helping me get my sight back. He's a great doctor and is so kind to me!
They are the best!
We have seen two doctor's at Animal Eye Clinic - Dr. Smeades (who moved to a sunnier climate :) and Dr. Sullivan (clinic owner)...both have been nothing but loving and tender towards me. They are trying to keep me from the inevitable (going blind) but they really are trying everything to allow me to keep my sight as long as possible. They are so nice to me and always give me treat and tell me how cute I am :)
Excellent eye doctors!
Jackson had surgery on both eyes at Animal Eye Clinic and we were very impressed with the care he received. We especially appreciated Dr. Stephanie Smedes, his surgeon. She has a wonderful dogside manner and went out of her way to make sure Jackson would be comfortable for the long trip home after the surgery. Jackson is doing very well and we owe it to Animal Eye.

I was on my way home from work obeying the speed limit when I see a car coming up on my ass really fast. I couldnt get over right away so he flashed his brights a couple times. I got over and as I did, another car came flying up on my opposite side. We pulled up to the light and on my left was a newer V6 Accord that looked pretty nice and on my right was a nice WRX. I realized they must have been racing each other and now I was caught in the middle, oh well. We were all glancing at each other and I am thinking "you gotta be kidding me". The Accord jumped the light a second early and the WRX got a slight jump on me as my wheels spun for a split second since I hit the gas a little too hard. I got traction and passed both of them like they were standing still and had at least a 4 car lead when I eased up at 80mph. We pull to the next light and the guy in the Accord is looking at me like and the guy in the WRX is laughing and nods his head in approval. The lane merged up ahead so I motioned to him to go ahead of me because I wanted to let the two of them have fun. The light went green and the WRX got a good jump but the Accord was around his rear bumper and actually started to pull on him but then I could see the WRX pulling on him up ahead and it looked like he won by a little more than a length when I saw brake lights.
I have never seen a WRX (non STi) up close and I must say I was impressed at how fast they are. I could tell the guy probably had a few mods as did the Accord and I was surpised how fast that was too. Driving the Chevelle is addictive but it has its drawbacks. It attracts ALOT of attention and people want to race alot which I TRY not to do. Cops always stare me down and I have to drive like grandma around them and hope I dont accelerate too hard. I have to shut the engine off at drive thrus so they can hear my order and it makes almost every car alarm go off when I drive by in a parking lot even at a very slow speed Its still too much fun though.

Seattle Dominates Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII Win
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The Denver Broncos came into Super Bowl 48 touting the top-ranked offense in the league, but they were shut down at every turn by Seattle's dominant defense, as the Seahawks won in a rout 43-8 on Sunday night.
In a season in which Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning threw 55 touchdown passes during the regular season, the NFL MVP threw just one in the game, and also threw two interceptions, including a pick 6 that put the Seahawks up 22-0.
The Seahawks got off to the best start possible, as they picked up a safety on the first play from scrimmage to take an immediate 2-0 start, and it just got better from there.
By halftime, the Seahawks led 22-0, and after Percy Harvin returned the opening kickoff of the second half back for a touchdown, the rout was on.
The Super Bowl title is the first in Seahawks franchise history (1-1), and the Broncos fall to 2-5 in the big game.

His former employer might be struggling but Charles Wilson's Booker is flying at the moment.
The one-time right-hand man of Sir Stuart Rose at Marks & Spencer is presiding over a particularly fine year for the cash-and-carry wholesaler. Booker's share price has already risen nearly 25% in 2012 and the recent deal to snap up the UK business of rival Makro has been applauded across the board.
Yet today some more level-headed voices were urging the Square Mile not to get too carried away.
According to analysts' calculations at Shore Capital, only a handful of consumer stocks in the world have a higher earnings rating than Booker, including such giants as Coca-Cola and Guinness-owner Diageo. Calling it a "an excellent company" and "a market leader in its field", they nonetheless added that they "struggle to justify a premium" to blue-chip consumer giants Unilever, steady at 2127p, and Reckitt Benckiser, 10p up at 3523p.
As a result, the scribes announced they were recommending selling Booker's shares, which prompted it to lose 3.05p to 88.23p and made it the worst performer on the FTSE 250.
Still, they certainly weren't talking down Wilson, saying they "hold [him] in the highest regard in British food retailing", arguing he "may in time enter a hall of fame that contains the likes of Sir Kenneth Morrison, Sir Terry Leahy, Lord Sainsbury and Archie Norman".
With the latest GDP data from China proving no worse than feared, while still being weak enough to give a fillip to those who are hoping that the Chinese government will galvanised into boosting the economy, the FTSE 100 climbed 37.01 points to 5645.26.
Stocks particularly responsive to news from the Far East were mainly on the rise — luxury brand Burberry shifted 39p higher to 1197p as heavyweight diggers Eurasian Natural Resources and BHP Billiton advanced 8.3p to 402.1p and 29.5p to 1780.75p respectively.
ITV was in the gold medal position, advancing 2.85p to 75.13p, as broker Berenberg reiterated its "overweight" advice. At the same time, traders highlighted — and were simultaneously dismissive of — that the broadcaster is always a favourite of the rumour-mill, with the group last month the subject of reheated rumours claiming private equity could be interested in a possible move. Meanwhile, they also pointed out that ITV has been weak in the run-up to its interim results late this month.
Amid the handful of fallers, its inability to provide enough staff for the Olympics was continuing to hurt G4S: the security company's drop of 9.9p to 273.1p means that it has now shed 6% in two days.

Thread: What to do with crab....
What to do with crab....
Hi all,
I was wondering if you have any ideas how to use canned crab or lump imitation crab meat? I got a deal on the cans last week, and my local grocery store has the lump imitation for $1 per package. I thought it would be a nice and frugal alternative to other expensive meats. Recipes would be appreciated!

Crab Cake Sandwiches
1 lb lump crabmeat or imitation crab
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tbsp tartar sauce
2 slices white sandwich bread torn into small pieces
6 tbsp bread crumbs or crushed croutons
Cook the onion and 1/2 tsp of kosher salt in 1 tbsp of butter in a skillet, over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, beat the eggs. Add Worcestershire sauce, the remaining 1/2 tsp kosher salt, paprika, pepper, tartar sauce, and cooked onions. Add crab meat and torn bread. Line a baking tray with wax paper and sprinkle with 1/2 of the bread crumbs. Form the mixture into six cakes onto the wax paper. Sprinkle tops of cakes with the remaining half of the bread crumbs. Cover the crab cakes loosely with another sheet of wax paper and chill for 1-2 hours. This is a very important step, as your crab cakes will fall apart if you don't chill first. Melt the remaining 3 tbsp of in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the crab cakes until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve on rolls with cocktail sauce and tartar sauce.08-30-2007, 09:19 AM #10

Make a big pot of good Maryland Crab Soup. I made a batch and froze it. Got it out in the winter, and it really hit the spot. There is a recipe on the back of the Old Bay canister that is pretty good.

I make these for the holidays using canned crab. They freeze well.
Cheesy crab Rolls never last long, look fancy, are easy to make and taste great. I always have to make these for get togethers. What's nice is that you can make them ahead of time and just take out how many you want to serve.
Cheesy Crab Rolls
20 slices of bread ~remove crusts & flatten with rolling pin and stack off to the side.
In saucepan melt~4T margarine & 6 oz. american cheese
add~2T milk or white wine & 2 cans (6oz. each) crabmeat, drained. May need to add a bit more liquid to make it spreadable.
Spread crab mix onto bread slices and roll up jelly roll style and place on parchment(or waxed paper) lined pan that you can put in freezer.
Melt 1/3 c. margarine add 1/2 tsp paprika and brush on rolls. Place seam side down. Freeze 1 hour then transfer to freezer bags & freeze.
To serve, let stand flat at room temp 10 min. Slice each roll into 4 slices. Arrange on greased baking sheet. Bake 375º for 12 min or until golden.
Makes 80

The problems began in the first minute when Ayew, who scored against the USA at the World Cup, collided with Montpellier keeper Geoffrey Jourdren, suffering a head wound. He not only needed to have his head bandaged in order to continue, he needed to change his bloody shirt.
Ayew's wound reopened early in the second half, so the equipment staff pulled out another jersey -- but with a different number. Since he began playing the game as No. 10, he'd have to finish wearing No. 10. The equipment staff tried unsuccessfully to sew a No. 10 on a No. 33 jersey, forcing Bielsa, the former Argentina and Chile national team coach, to bring on Dimitri Payet for Ayew in the 52nd minute.
That prompted the question, wasn't anyone in the crowd of 50,774 wearing a Ayew replica jersey they could give him?

In crowded Rio slum, residents fly kites in cemetery
RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - As dusk descends on a cemetery in one of Rio de Janeiro's northern slums, four young men stand on top of a wall vault of tombs and watch their kites flutter in the breeze.
Across the graveyard's dusty expanse, some 20 others are doing the same in hopes of catching the wind.
Some 40 billion reais ($12.3 billion) has been spent on projects for Rio to host South America's first Olympic Games, which kick off on Aug. 5. But for those who live in the slums of the sprawling metropolis of roughly 12 million people, there are few public spaces for sports or recreation.
The cemetery lies in the midst of the Vila Operaria slum, where tightly packed red-brick buildings cascade down the hillside.
"We can't fly kites where we live because the buildings are too high," said 28-year-old Fernando. "The only place we have, the only recreational ground, is this cemetery.
"Flying my kite is everything to me, after God and after my children."
One attraction of the cemetery is that it is far from the streets, where gunfights can break out among the city's rival drug gangs and police, said Felipe, 27.
A spike in violent crime in Rio has raised concern ahead of the Games, despite police efforts to pacify the slums. Homicides in Rio de Janeiro state rose by 14 percent to 2,083 in the first five months of 2016 from a year earlier, according to its Institute of Public Safety.
"We're not afraid because we believe in our Lord Jesus Christ," said Felipe. "When there is wind for the kites, we all come here." Continued...

90 Years Young and Skydiving to Celebrate It
So to celebrate his 90th birthday he decided to something a little more exciting than a party.
are a lot of people who skydive when they reach a birthday whether it's 60, 70,
80 or 90," says Kathie Sides, co-owner of
Myers decided to take to the skies to celebrate hitting his 90's.
"I wasn't really surprised, he's in very good shape for 90 years-old," says Jeff Myers, Jack's son. "He plays tennis and golf; I hope to follow in his footsteps."
Jack says his biggest goal in life is to never be afraid of anything so he took that mantra to 14,000 feet and didn't think twice before jumping out of a plane.
"That's probably the biggest rush right there I mean you know right before you go that's awesome," says Jack Myers, skydiver. "The wind is rushing the noise and the airplane and 14,000 feet."
What's his secret to staying young? He calls it the three A's. First is a good attitude in life, then staying active and lastly associating with the right people who you can trust. A secret that helped him make it through his latest stunt.
"The professional I went with made me feel very comfortable and he told me everything to do," says Jack. "I'm good at taking orders I've been married for 69 years."
Jack says he's thankful for having such a great support system, a family that fittingly looks up to him even on days when he's not plummeting from the sky.
"If I could be half the man he is I'd be happy," says Jeff.
Taking a birthday milestone to new heights!!
Jack says he's now hooked on skydiving and hopes to be able to do it every year on his birthday. His son, Jeff, plans on joining him one day.

David J. Stafko has been elected Master Councilor of the Lodi DeMolay Chapter. Stafko is to be installed by Eliseo Paniagua, Master Councilor of Northern California DeMolay Association. This will be the 164th semi-annual installation of officers, and will be held on Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at the Woodbridge Masonic Center, 1040 Augusta St.
In his position as master councilor, Stafko is the presiding officer and the head of the DeMolay chapter. The title of "master councilor" instead of "president" reflects the Masonic/DeMolay tradition of using ceremonies and titles from the stonemasons of the Middle Ages. When the great cathedrals of Europe were being built, the mason in charge of a building site was referred to as the master of the work.
The DeMolay fraternity is the premier and most widely prestigious youth organization in the world dedicated to teaching young men between 12 to 21 years of age to be better persons and better leaders. DeMolay members learn leadership skills, public speaking, time management and financial management. In addition to these skills, DeMolay also offers an expansive social and athletic program with the opportunity for civic awareness, responsibility and character development through a variety of self-directed, real-world applications and activities.
Numerous young men in the United States actively participate in DeMolay chapters today, and well over 1 million men have benefited from DeMolay program and experience since it was founded in 1919. Senior DeMolays have achieved greatness and fame as astronauts, presidents, U.S. senators, governors, business leaders and successful, community-minded citizens.
The Lodi community has an active DeMolay chapter with more than 40 members who work with the officers and members of the Masonic Lodge/families and others in Lodi and Woodbridge to build a better and promising future for mankind.

Medical Marijuana Ads Set To Air In Florida
It won't be just politicians filling our TV and radio airwaves in the months leading up to the November election.
Both supporters and opponents of the medical marijuana amendment are ready to roll out campaigns.
United for Care says it have 10,000 patients, doctors and nurses ready to tell their stories about how medicinal pot is helping.
However Vote No on 2 claims loopholes in the amendment would cause abuses.
Amendment 2, which "allows the medical use of marijuana for individuals with debilitating diseases as determined by a licensed Florida physician."
A more limited alternative was approved by the Republican-run Legislature and signed by Gov. Rick Scott in June. It legalizes development and distribution of a non-euphoric strain of cannabis — dubbed Charlotte's Web — to help Florida residents who have cancer and other debilitating diseases.
Early polls indicate overwhelming public support for medical marijuana — by 88 percent in a statewide Quinnipiac University poll — but analysts expect a close vote on Amendment 2, which requires 60 percent approval to become law.

The feature film Crooked Arrows will have a major presence during this year's NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships over Memorial Day weekend (May 28-30) in Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Producers J. Todd Harris and Mitchell Peck announced that Reebok will sponsor the movie's Mid-Atlantic Regional Open Casting Tour looking for 14-25 year old lacrosse athletes to be featured in the movie being shot this summer in a location being finalized this month. The Baltimore event is the first of several in the movie's casting efforts.
The movie, written by Virginia native Todd Baird, tells the story of a Native American high school team's unlikely ascent to the prep league championship game. Veteran Hollywood director Steve Rash (The Buddy Holly Story, Can't Buy Me Love, Bring It On 3and 4) will helm the picture set for nationwide theatrical release during the spring of 2012 at the peak of lacrosse season.

Athletic drills will be run by Sports Studio's Coach Mark Ellis on neighboring Rash Field in the Inner Harbor. Ellis is best known for casting the athletes and choreographing the action in Miracle, Invincible, The Longest Yard, and Game Plan, among other sports movies classics. Although the movie is not casting kids under the age of 14, boys and girls under 14 will have a chance to hear Coach Ellis talk about Hollywood sports movies and participate in a lacrosse skills clinic with Reebok Lacrosse star Zack Greer. Boys and girls 14-17 will be seen on both days from noon-2 p.m., while male lacrosse players will be seen both days 2-4 p.m.
"We are thrilled to be working with Reebok, Sports Studio and Baltimore Lacrosse Festival as partners in this first-ever lacrosse movie," said producer Peck. "We're all well aware of the fact that there's a passionate, loyal and enormous audience who's hungry for a great lacrosse movie right now."
The film has received support from leaders in the lacrosse community, including: Inside Lacrosse; U.S. Lacrosse; National Lacrosse League; Major League Lacrosse; MetroLacrosse; and the Tewaaraton Committee. In addition, the movie has been endorsed by many of the sport's best-known coaches and players at every level.

I take direction very well, and I'm easy to work with.
For more of my work, see http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/JessicaAmanda/176944402345157?v=wall
I will take another model, or an escort with me to meet you and possibly to the shoot, unless I know you personally or we have worked together before.
If you would like to work with me, send a message!
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little better!

You are probably entitled to a COPY of your records , there may be a modest cost, upon WRITTEN request for same --thats the required step, I think --IF the therapist is one that falls withing the description of the law---
I'm not sure what your point is --but follow the rles to get your records and if the therapist fails to provide them --whynot go after her professional license.
I think some of her conduct at least as your describe it, it way out of line but I'm not sure what legal lines in the sand it crosses.
Your therapists discussions with hospital staff about your childbearing issues w/o your consent if thats what it was , might be actionable items as to her professional license and professional conduct --but don't hold your breath about any license agency taking up the issues.
