Anyone that loves random blockbuster trades, this one is for you: The Browns have dealt Trent Richardson, a top-5 pick in 2012, to the Colts for a 2014 No. 1 pick. Let that sink in for a second..
Fantasy Analysis:
The ramifications of this deal are not totally clear at the moment - same goes for Cleveland's motivation - but obviously the Colts have seriously upgraded their running game. Adding a talent like Richardson to QB Andrew Luck and passing game weapons Reggie Wayne, T.Y. Hilton and Coby Fleener gives Indy a potential dynamic offense from all angles. This certainly cuts into Ahmad Bradshaw 's overall fantasy value, though the veteran likely keeps a role on passing downs. As for Week 3, expect a timeshare scenario as the Colts get their new RB prepared for a different playbook. Eventually, T-Rich takes over.
Meanwhile the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports the Browns are bringing in veteran running back Willis McGahee in for a physical. If signed, McGahee would become the Browns top fantasy RB option and therefore a worthy waiver wire pickup. However, tred lightly with those auction dollars; he's on the wrong side of 20 and entering a terrible situation. For those in need of RB this week, Bobby Rainey is worth looking at since we have no clue if McGahee is in game shape.
More on all of this soon once we catch our breath.

Type 1 LC 1948
The Type 1 LC 1948 bicycle takes design cues from the allure and glamour of the golden era of motor racing. Blending sophisticated, high quality materials with precise attention to details and superb craftsmanship.
Founded in Great Britain in 1948 both Condor and Lotus are equally renowned within their respective industries for their attention to detail and lightweight performance products; both are steeped in heritage and racing history, shaped by medals, honours and World Championship titles.
Lotus is no stranger to cycling - the results include a gold win in 1992 in Barcelona and victory at the 1994 Tour de France.
Condor build performance racing cycles by hand. Their experience lies in being able to create race proven products for professional athletes and famous riders.
now twenty years on, after gold medal success in Barcelona and on the eve of both companies' 65 year anniversaries, a partnership has emerged; Lotus and Condor are working together to push the future of performance further.
The Design
Fashion and trends come and go; Condor believes there is always place and value in artisan craftsmanship. The pailer understated of cream with racing green is a faithful reproduction of bygone racing, but that doesn't mean it is a frame that is stuck in the past! Retro is an oft-used term where perhaps "dated" would be more appropriate, but the bike takes the best parts of 20th century bike design and combines them with the best of 21st century technology to deliver a ride unequalled for quality and elegance.
The MeThOD
The Type 1 LC 1948 is constructed from steel with manganese, molybdenum and niobium this special chemical composition allows the walls of the tubes to be made super light but incredibly strong. The tubes are joined by lugs elegantly handcut and etched.
The bicycle is finished with a leather saddle and handlebar tape - made in England and reflects the leather interior of Lotus cars of Colin Chapmans' era and the trim of the Lotus range of today.
The frame is then built to the exact customer size profile as measured by Condor bike - fitters and the components expertly fitted by workshop engineers.
Type 1 LC 1948
Equally at home spinning through town to the café as it is making a break for the village pub in the countryside.
The Type 1 LC 1948 will have the heads of discerning bike fanciers everywhere.
With a racing green paint finish, matching steel fork, Lotus heritage details, Brooks swift Tan Leather saddle and matching bar tape in front of a polished handlebar, the bike is period '50s perfection on the style front.
Condor triple-butted steel, cut and welded by hand in italy by Condor, using traditional skills, before being heat treated for extra tensile strength. The Condor name stamped into the flanges of the bottom bracket, at the top of the seatstays and in the head tube is a fitting reminder of these framebuilding traditions.
Condor Legacy highly polished CnC machined chainring. single speed alloy chainset with fluted details.
Condor supremacy highly polished alloy handlebar and seatpost. Brooks swift Tan Leather saddle, leather honey bar tape, back pedal brake. Front brake, brake lever option is available as an upgrade.
handbuilt Condor alloy lightweight rims with polish Condor uno hubs.

Portugal Breaks American Hearts, Earns Draw With U.S.
It's not a loss but the United States' World Cup result against Portugal is still a heartbreaker. Cristiano Ronaldo fed a cross to the head of Silvestre Varela for a goal with seconds to spare in extra time as Portugal secured a 2-2 draw with the U.S. The U.S. had been given the lead off a goal from Clint Dempsey in the 81st minute. Jermaine Jones scored the equalizer for the United States in the 64th minute after Portugal's Nani scored early in the match.
The U.S. is now tied atop Group G with Germany with four points. The teams meet Thursday in the final match of the group round, while Ghana and Portugal play at the same time. A win or draw for the Americans would be enough to advance to the knockout round.

Exclusive Interview With Next Food Network Star Winner Aarti Sequeira
Meet the host of her very own Food Network show, Aarti!
-Sarah Polonsky
For the past two months as season six of Next Food Network Star has run its course, we were physically unable to peel our eyes away from the screen as culinary charmer Aarti Sequeira craftily infused curry flavors into pizza and many other everyday foods week after week. With a big tropical flower pinned in her hair and a contagious smile plastered across her face, Aarti's lovability and cooking savvy was palpable from the start.
It's no surprise that she took home the winning title and will continue to grace our televisions every Sunday afternoon with her new cooking show, Aarti Party.
Read Exclusive! Next Food Network Star Interview and a Foodie Giveaway
What was your immediate reaction when you heard you had won?
I think I was in a slight state of disbelief. I was just so shocked. That very moment was sort of bittersweet because I was so happy that I had won, but I had also grown so close to the final two contestants Herb and Tom, and I was really sad because we all wanted it so badly. I know that something really good is going to happen for them both.
In most competition-based reality shows there's usually a lot of backstabbing and animosity between contestants, but you all seemed so close. How was it really behind the scenes?
We really were very close. I was so blessed. This year everyone had each other's backs. Even in winning I knew that they would be as happy for me as if they had won. And that's what they told me when we went out for dinner afterwards. I said, "You guys, if you if you're feeling sad you don't have to put on a brave face for me." And they said, "No. We're so happy for you and you deserved to win." That was just great.
What was the toughest challenge for you?
The challenge that really got to me was when we had to compete after I saw my husband. I was really torn up from seeing him earlier. I just realized I want to go home where it's easy and I can take my time cooking. And in that state having to deal with "fear" was tough. I had to creatively and "culinarily" make a dish to represent the emotion "fear." I was just so tired at that point. The great thing about the show is you can look back at things that you've done with an outside eye. I had no idea that when I'm scared it shows on my face. Not many people have the opportunity to learn about themselves the way I did. Plus, I'm a very visual learner so it's been very powerful for me watching.
How do you manage to find such comfort in front of the camera?
There's definitely some natural gifting there. I also went to school to be a journalist. I wanted to be a reporter, so I had to become comfortable in front of the camera very quickly. I practiced and practiced and had my own online cooking show for the past year that my husband and I did called Aarti Party. Every week for a year I was shooting a cooking show. I can see how much I've grown when I go and watch early videos. I am much more comfortable in front of the camera, which was very useful while shooting my new Food Network show!

With so many options available in the world today, buying a guitar that perfectly represents your own style, tastes, and attitude has never been easier. Whether you're a classical guitarist looking for that perfectly balanced nylon flamenco, or a hard rock enthusiast who needs Pete Townshend crunch combined with Jack White power, there is simply no shortage of axes to choose from.
Certain guitar brands are renowned and respected worldwide, and you don't have to be a player to be aware of them. Companies like Fender, Gibson, Epiphone, Ibanez, Yamaha and many others have built a solid reputation for providing exceptionally crafted guitars. In fact, these names are consistently endorsed by the greatest players of all time. However, you'll find more than enough guitar brands from lesser known manufacturers as well; these smaller companies take enormous pride in offering models of equally extraordinary playability, tone and construction.
With the massive range of options available, you'd have to spend the whole day here to go through every one. There are six-strings, twelve-strings, models specifically made for beginners, limited edition double necks; you name it, you'll find it! For a real classic, strap on a Rickenbacker 330 electric guitar. A staple in 60's mod culture, the unique hollowbody construction, slim neck and contoured body make the Rickenbacker 330 so easy to play that it has held the status as one of the all-time greatest guitars for decades. If you're a fan of the Grateful Dead, check out our limited edition Alvarez Grateful Dead Acoustic Guitar. For budding female guitarists, the Daisy Rock Candy electric guitar in atomic pink plays sweetly with its Duncan designed humbuckers, sycamore body, and rock maple neck. In the acoustic department, the Alvarez Artist Series AD60 dreadnought acoustic guitar comes highly rated, thanks to its hand-selected spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and powerful tone.
For experienced players, you already know what kind of questions need to be brought up when purchasing a guitar. For beginners, a great starting point is to look at what your favorite guitarists play. By taking your own musical tastes into consideration, you can narrow down your choices to models that will provide the tone and sound you already know and love. But whatever you're looking for, you can be certain that the perfect guitar for you can easily be found, right here. Just take a look around and see for yourself.

One thing you can say about Jim Dabakis, is he never misses a chance to raise his voice and wit to defend his Democratic Party and skewer Republicans when he feels they deserve it.
Dabakis, newly elected by his peers to be the next state senator for District 2, will keep his job as chairman of the Utah Democratic Party. It's not without precedent. Democrat Dave Jones served in the Utah House and as party boss in the 1990s, and Republican Craig Moody did the same in the '80s.
Given Dabakis' history talk show host, art collector and seller, businessman, co-founder of the Utah Pride Center and Equality Utah and fervent opponent of California's anti-gay-marriage Proposition 8 he has proven himself to be a savvy multitasker who'll do just fine on Capitol Hill.
Before his election Saturday, he described himself as a "peacemaker, not a bomb thrower." That may be true, but he certainly knows how to fling a zinger when so inclined. Last year, for instance, he asked House Speaker Becky Lockhart what she and her fellow Republicans were doing in closed caucus during the fraught political redistricting session.
Were you in there singing Broadway songs? he asked.
Dabakis brings a shrewd political mind to his work, publicly and privately. He's a negotiator, able to bring together disparate people in a common cause. That's what he did with LGBT activists and LDS Church representatives, who came to agree on the worth of Salt Lake City ordinances protecting gay people from workplace and housing discrimination. Since then, a number of Utah cities and counties have adopted such ordinances.
This year, Dabakis launched a new Democratic caucus, LDS Dems, to help his party chip away at the hold the GOP has on Utah Mormons. The group even made something of a splash at this year's Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C. Dabakis had been an LDS convert who no longer affiliates with the faith but understands it deeply.
Still, the line Dabakis will walk as party boss and state senator could be tricky.
"There will be an interesting tension between trying to be an honest broker between some of the different wings and factions of the party … and making judgments in voting on legislation," says Kelly Patterson, a political scientist at Brigham Young University.
That's true. But Dabakis has the personality and skills to wear two political hats, says Joe Hatch, a former Salt Lake County councilman and county Democratic chairman (although he didn't do both jobs at the same time).
For starters, Dabakis will be one of only five Democrats in the 29-member Senate, where Republicans "can do anything they want," Hatch says. Dabakis will be "in the penalty box the moment he's sworn in. Once he's accepted that lot, he can appropriately represent his district."
Dabakis already has excoriated the idea of raising food taxes, by any measure a regressive tax that hurts the poor far more than the well-off.
That's the kind of conviction he'll will bring to the Senate and to his sprawling and diverse District 2. And I have no doubt that when the Republicans throw their weight around, he'll be among the first to fight back.

Chicago -- Vibes, a mobile marketing and technology company, announced the results of a successful mobile campaign aimed at engaging and increasing Build-A-Bear Workshop's customer base through their mobile phones.
This first-to-market Passbook solution from Vibes, which leveraged Passbook's location-enabled push notification feature, drove Build-A-Bear Workshop shoppers to the stores to claim a promotional offer via coupon code or pass. The initiative resulted in a 58.7% pass install rate among iOS 6 users and an overall click-through rate of 5.3%.
"Vibes quickly built an easy-to-use, dynamic solution, leveraging the latest technology, to offer our brand a new and relevant way to engage with our loyal subscriber base," said Teresa Kroll, Build-A-Bear Workshop chief marketing officer. "At Build-A-Bear Workshop, the experience our guests have while in one of our stores is one of the things that makes us unique, so having the ability to leverage the location-based feature in Passbook was ideal for a mobile campaign. This added relevance and immediacy to the offer and provided real value to our loyal Guests, which is extremely important to us."
The campaign, which ran from Oct. 27 through Oct. 31, sought to achieve a few goals: notify the existing subscriber base of a new short code, re-engage loyal Build-A-Bear Workshop Guests and drive traffic to one of its 288 stores in North America. To achieve these goals, Vibes and Build-A-Bear Workshop sent an alert via SMS to the existing subscriber base notifying them of the new short code and expressing appreciation through a timely offer. The promotion was available to both iOS 6 and non-iOS 6 users, and led to either a location-enabled pass for Passbook or a mobile Web-based offer. Vibes both designed and executed the Passbook offer via its Catapult mobile marketing platform.
The campaign had a 58.7% pass download rate among iOS 6 users and overall click-through rate of 5.3%. In addition to engaging its loyal customers, Build-A-Bear Workshop experienced a consistent stream of foot traffic from those customers who received the offer; more than 5% of non-iOS 6 users and 4% of iOS 6 users redeemed the offer in-store.

"Rem is like a great journalist of architecture," said Ricardo Bofill Jr., sitting downstairs in Venice's Palazzo Bembo on the third day of the 2014 Architecture Biennale. Two flights up, the peripheral exhibition "Time Space Existence" included a sampling of recent work from Bofill's (and his famous father's) eponymous office in Barcelona, Spain, alongside a surprisingly vast array of installations from firms around the world. The Bofills have seen more than their fair share of Biennales—including the seminal 1980 "Strada Novissima" show, in which the elder designer played an important role—and for Bofill the Younger, the 2014 installment seemed like it could mark yet another key inflection point for the field, a credit to curator Rem Koolhaas, Hon. FAIA, and his ability to weave history and design into a compelling narrative—ostensibly unified by his title, "Fundamentals." "For Rem, it all comes back to telling a story," Bofill says.
But what exactly Koolhaas thinks the next chapter in that story is meant to be was difficult to discern, at least judging from his particular contributions to the current Biennale. The Bembo show (organized by the independent Global Art Affairs Foundation) was altogether a more comprehensive view of contemporary practice than either Koolhaas's technically minded "Elements of Architecture" exhibition at the Central Pavilion or his "Monditalia" show at the Arsenale. In many ways, the leading man in the Biennale drama appeared to have departed from his own script. The emerging consensus during the preview (consensuses during the Biennale having a tendency to fade in and out somewhat) was that the real action was taking place in the national pavilions. Clogging the paths and courtyards of the Giardini, Prosecco-tippling design fans flocked to see the opening the Belgian Pavilion (a spare, cerebral investigation of interior space), the Israeli Pavilion (an offbeat examination of the country's urbanism using sand-sifting digital fabricators), and the Austrian Pavilion (wall-mounted models of the national capitol buildings of over 200 countries). For the first time at an Architecture Biennale, the chief curator had tasked all of the national pavilions with a single overarching theme: "Absorbing Modernity: 1914–2014." Far from being a limiting agent, this guideline seemed to inspire many participants to reach further and think deeper.
It's surprising, in fact, that the Architecture Biennale had to wait till the arrival of Koolhaas for someone to impose some sense of conceptual order on the unruly Giardini. As an exhibition environment, the rambling walkways and waterways at Venice's eastern end remain a curious place—one part public space, one part artsy theme park—with the feeling that sometimes it is a necropolis populated by unusually extravagant tombs. "I like some of the older pavilion buildings, just for what they are," says architect John Denton of Denton Corker Marshall, an Australian firm tasked with the daunting commission of creating a new space for their native country. When it's completed later this year, the new Australian Pavilion—a simple, black granite volume with what Denton describes as a "very Melbourne" character—will not only be the latest addition to the Biennale fairgrounds, but perhaps the last: Preservationist-minded Venetians are staunchly opposed to any further construction, and only a bureaucratic loophole allowed the Australians to move forward with this project.
In the meantime, "Absorbing Modernity" did seem to breathe some new and much-needed life into the faintly funereal exhibition grounds—a sharp contrast with Koolhaas's own shows, in which the organizing theme was conspicuous in its absence. The Arsenale show was especially perplexing. In room after room of the vast complex, Koolhaas's assorted collaborators investigated built culture in the home country of the Biennale, using media as varied as film, dance, and archival material to uncover the assorted complexities and contradictions of Italy today. There was much to like in the show, not the least of which was the documents and public programming of Beatriz Colomina's "Radical Pedagogies: Action-Reaction-Interaction" installation, as well as the 82 movie clips on display throughout the space showing how Hollywood has taken on the Italian landscape. But if there was a thesis at work, it was difficult to make out, and the Italian Pavilion just around the corner covered much the same material with greater concision and curatorial flare, especially with its full-scale model of Milan complete with digital projections showing urban networks and planning proposals over the centuries.
Koolhaas's "Elements" only threw the thematic center of gravity even further off-kilter, with the Central Pavilion given over to a strangely rote presentation of building components like elevators, stairs, and fireplaces. "It was like an industry expo," snarked one visitor.
On the other hand, the Biennale's overlords did not err when it came time to dole out the honorary Lions. Winning the gold was the Korean Pavilion, which showcased a riveting series of videos and images exploring the vexed relationship between North and South, in particular the quasi-hidden history of urbanism and building in the autocratic Hermit Kingdom. And the Chilean Pavilion walked away with a well-deserved silver: For a look back at the country's troubled past, the organizers carted in a thick concrete wall, originally built as part of a Soviet-backed social housing program created by the socialist Allende government. Production team member José Hernandez showed where the "o" was still visible from the signature Salvador Allende had scrawled on it more than 40 years ago, and explained the challenges in moving the massive hunk from Chile to Italy. "We got a very nice grant from a marine transport company," he said.
Only slightly less daunting maritime logistics faced attendees leaving the Biennale on Sunday, as a boat race shut down the Grand Canal. The night before, as word of the impending closure started making the rounds of a launch party for design journal Clog (their new issue devoted, naturally, to Koolhaas), attendees discussed possible alternative routes to the airport. "We could always swim across the lagoon," said one wag. "Yeah," said another, "but if we were Rem, we could just walk on it."
Sarcasm aside, this Biennale did seem to confirm one of the peculiar aspects of the Koolhaas Effect in architecture today: The Dutch dynamo was less important for what he built himself than for how his ideas forced every other designer in attendance to react. When this Biennale is viewed in years to come, however, its signal lesson may be just this: Do as Koolhaas says, designers, but perhaps not as he does.

Healthy Tea with O2
Oxygen (O2) plays an important role throughout tea processing as early as in tea fermentation and later in making a good cup of tea with water (H2O) because it helps to release the best flavors. Tea's health benefits are largely due to its high content of antioxidants. TeaO2 health tea is classified based on the degree or period of "fermentation" the leaves have undergone.

Really great carer, extremely professional and experienced and left us feeling very confident to leave both our girls in her care for the evening. One of our girls woke up and Ngisti was sat chatting with her when we came back (she never goes straight back to sleep!)...our daughter was really sad when she had to go home!! She absolutely loved her and still talks about 'Mary Poppins' two weeks later. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her. Thankyou so much Ngisti!
Really lovely lady, great first impression, made an effort with the boys especially my 28 month old. We will be booking Heather soon, thank you.
I just wanted to say how fabulous Jacqueline was on Saturday. She had never sat for us before but the children were all immediately comfortable and settled with her. She played lots of games with Lucy as well as reading to her before bed. The older 2 both commented the next day on how good she was. Not only that but she cleared all the glasses and plates in my kitchen from a small party we had had before going out and put the leftover food back in the fridge - above and beyond what she needed to do but very much appreciated. I would be grateful if you pass this on to her. Many thanks. Catriona Emmett.

I would say honestly you could just boot the live CD and reformat/repartition w/qtparted, install Vista and reinstall BT thereafter....
I know this may be categorized as a windows forums type of question but since I installed bt I cannot install vista. I formatted 50 gigs nfts and tried installing vista on it but it said it could not install on any partitions. I tried formatting it with the actual vista live install cd and it still would not install. Suggestions?
I would say honestly you could just boot the live CD and reformat/repartition w/qtparted, install Vista and reinstall BT thereafter....
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Any way I could create like a backup of my current bt install?
Could you possibly link me. I am horrible at searching. I searched for backup and found no threads for doing what I wanted to do. -_-
I was thinking there was a specific way to do it for bt. Sorry...
Just for reference it is called dd, but if you read up on it, you will find it is very confusing, plus you will read many many horror stories about it's incorrect use, even by people who use it all the time scattered around the net.
I am sure that some people here have stories about it, if they are brave enough to admit it in a post.
But there are some methods people have used, on the forums if you search hard enough.
dd if=/dev/swc666 of=/dev/wyze
Yea, I suppose. But I think it would be easier to just backup the data and restore it after installing vista instead. It would take a bit of time to reinstall everything I have already done on my current bt installation seeing how it is my main os on my laptop. In have updated almost all of the programs on there and install new programs and it would be just too much of a hassle to redo everything if I do not have to.

It consists of a native blackfellow driving his wife and the other ladies of his family and children in his own American waggon.
They are all dressed in European clothes of quite as good quality as the labouring men in the bush usually wear. The waggon is a very good one, and the horse,though not of much value, is in fair condition, and the harness is in good repair and well looked after.
The owner of the turnout is a middle-aged man known throughout the country side as Tommy M'Crae, an expert fisherman, who, by the exercise of his calling, has saved sufficient money to purchase the horse and vehicle, and live in a somewhat civilised fashion.
The only thing that speaks of the Australian aboriginal is the pack of mongrel curs that follow the vehicle.
This instance shows that the native blacks are not incapable of civilisation,for this man has become an owner of property by his own unaided exertions.
The secret of his success is that he never drinks intoxicating liquors,
The M'Crae family are all singularly adept at card playing, and it is said that few Europeans are a match for them at cribbage and euchre. They dearly love to have a small stake on the game, playing for love being, in their opinion a mere waste of time.
Like other business men, Mr. M'Crae receive
letters, to which he sends replies, a white friend acting as his secretary, for he can 'neither read nor write.
He is somewhat of an artist, and the sketch books which he fills in his moments of leisure are much sought after, and their sale forms no inconsiderable portion of his income.
' It may not be generally known, but it nevertheless is the fact," says the Warrambool Guardian. "that some months ago an offer was made by a resident in this district to go in search of the Kellys, and had that offer been accepted, it might have been un- necessary to have broutht black trackers all the way from Queensland to amuse them- selves about Benalla at the expense of the Victorian public. About five months or so past, and shortly after the first ineffectual attempts of the police to discover the where- abouts of the Mansfield murderers, Mr M William Goodall, the superintendent of the aboriginal station at Framlingham, wrote to the Acting Chief Secretary, offering to take four of tlie blacks under his charge and three or four others from Coranderrk who were acquainted with the country around Mansfield and Greta, and track out the fugitives, supposing them to be then concealed in the ranges. It was Mr Goodall's inten- tion to have used his men merely to discover the vvhereabouts of the Kellys, to get on their track in fact, and then leave the police to follow it up and that, he maintains, is only to be done by going to look for them, and not waiting outside until the outlaws chose to show themselves again. The offer was, however, declined by Sir Bryan O'Loghlen - the answer returned to Mr Goodall being that his services were not required at present."
Place Names.--Their Origin.
A correspondent inquires as to the meaning of the name
"Koriella," and suggests the publication of a list of place names, to
gether with their origin and mean ing.
According to R. B. Smyth in volume 2 of "The Aborigines of Victoria," page 105, "Koriella"
is the native name of the Goulburn River. The origin of a number of
place names in the Alexandra district have been recorded by Mr. J.
G. Saxton, who for many years was in charge of original plans at
the Lands Department. He issued a small book about twenty years
ago, giving a list of Victorian place names and their origin. From Mr.
Saxton's book, and other publica tions which we have consulted, we
take the following particulars :
Alexandra.-Named in honor of
Alexandra, Princess of Wales.
Thornton.--D. Thornton, 1848.
Eildon.-Eildon Hills, Scotland.
Enoch's Point. - After Enoch
Hall, an early digger.
Tiggerty. - Native, Taggarty.
Natives used to gather a blue pig
ment or clay on its banks, with
which to stain their bodies.
Rnffy.-Wm. Jas. Ruffy, pioneer.
Molesworth. - Named by Suveyor Pinniger, after Sir Wm.
Moleswortlh, M. P. Enigland.
Cathkin.-After Cathkin Braes,
near Carinnunuctk, Lanarkshire,Scotland.
Koriella.---Native name of Coulburn River.
Kanumbra.--'the name of a local
pastoral station or run owned by
late I). L. Stoddlart.
Yarck.-Name of an old cattle
station, which at one time occupied
that locality. There is a native word
"Yaruk"meaning the long river.
Yea,-After Colonel Lacy Yea,who distinguished himself in Crimean war.
Darlingford.-Sir Charles Darling, Covernor of Victoria.
Jamieson.-Archibald and Robert Jamieson, pioneers.
U,T. Creek. - Ultima Thule,Latin for boundary.
Acheron.-Classical name. The river of woe, one of the rivers of hades.
Rubicon. - This name is mentioned in ancient geography.
It was a small river which separated Italy from Cisalpine Gaul.
By leading an army across this river,contrary to the prohibition of the
civil government at Rome, Caesar precipitated the civil war which
made him supreme ; hence to pass,or cross, the Rubicon is to take the
irrevocable decisive step by which one is committed to a hazardous enterprise

First Time Mum
Hello everyone!
I am a first time mum taking care of my 4 month old son. I quit my job when I got pregnant and since then I am loving every minute of my new title.
I am exclusively breastfeeding my bub and I enjoy those bonding moments with him.
Soon I will be introducing him solid foods. I hope we won't be having a difficult time with that.
I am also dreading the day that he self weans from me. I hope it's not too soon!
Hoping to get helpful tips from the experts and experienced mum I am very excited to post some of my questions!

So glad that you are here....
Congrads on your little one.
It is a awesome feeling to be able to stay home with your baby.
Typically a exclusively breastfed baby doesn't need solid foods till after 6 months of age, most of those babies tend to not catch on to solids till about 9 to 12 months of age. If your baby is only 4 months old you have quite some time before introducing solids.
Im glad that you have found this forum and do hope that we see more posts and communication from you.
Please let us know if you have any advice for us as well as when you need more advice on a particular subject.

HHS Releases Funding Announcement for Home Visiting Program
Jun 17, 2010
By Tiffany Conway Perrin
On June 10, 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released a funding opportunity announcement for the early childhood home visiting program included as part of health care reform. The announcement provides the timeline for additional information to be released over the summer that will be critical to states as they apply for and implement the new program.
For more information on the program, see this Detailed Summary of Home Visitation Program in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Importantly, the new announcement makes clear that the home visiting program is a formula-based grant program and that all states with approved applications will receive funds. Appendix B provides a breakdown of the approximate funding level for each state.
States should note that though funds are made available to all states, they still must complete the required needs assessment and the initial application is due July 9, 2010. Additionally their final applications, which will be due in early FY 2011, will have to be approved by the Secretary as meeting the criteria of effectiveness for home visiting models.

Results - FourResults - Eight
BOSTON, Mass. - Sam Shaw, Roman Schuster, Parker Lange, Jacques David and Alex Weinrich lifted the trophy for the University of Pennsylvania lightweights at one of the world's most prestigious regattas on Sunday. The quintet finished first at the 49th annual Head of the Charles in the lightweight four.
It was the first win in 47 years for the Penn lightweights at the Head of the Charles. The Quakers won the the lightweight eight in 1966 and had never before won the lightweight four event.
Shaw (stroke), Schuster, Lange, David (bow) and Weinrich (cox) got off to a great start and were solid through the middle 1,000 before a strong finish stopped the clock at 17:33.142. When the times were announced, Penn had topped Yale by two seconds. The rest of the field was no where near the Quakers. Only one of the other 15 boats were within 20 seconds and the majority finished more than a half minute off Penn's pace.
"It was a really good, aggressive performance and they deserved to lift the trophy at the end," said head coach Nick Baker. "We knew coming in that they had an opportunity to win, but it takes a lot more than that. They had to execute. There were rough waters and strong headwinds for the majority of the course and they handled the conditions really well. I was really excited for them."
Penn also had a boat in the lightweight eight. An all-freshmen crew competed well against the experience competition. The Quakers finished in 15:58.607 to place 13th among the 17 boats. Princeton won the race with a time of 15:03.554.
Next weekend, the Quakers will wrap up their Fall schedule with a pair of regattas. On Saturday, Penn will compete in the Head of the Schuylkill and on Sunday, the Red and Blue will be in Princeton, N.J., for the Princeton Chase.

Mariah Carey to release new album on May 6th
Listen to Mariah Carey on iHeartRadio
Mariah Carey has finally put a new release date on her next studio album. The singer revealed the news on Monday with a YouTube video, announcing that the next single titled "You're Mine" is arriving on Wednesday with the album to follow on May 6th.
The album was initially due out last summer, but Mariah put a delay on its release telling fans she needed more time with the new material. At the time she had put out a track called "Beautiful" featuring Miguel and later released the ballad "The Art Of Letting Go."
Her next single will become available to purchase on iTunes starting Wednesday, and fans can also watch Mariah performing it at the BET Honors ceremony airing later this month on February 24th.

Harvard Evacuates Buildings On Reports Of Explosives
UPDATE: Cambridge Police Give All Clear In Bomb Scare
(Cambridge, MA) -- The all-clear is being given at Harvard University following a bomb scare. The campus was evacuated today on reports of possible explosive devices. Nothing was found.
(Cambridge, MA) -- Four buildings on the campus of Harvard University are evacuated following a bomb threat. The Ivy League School near Boston has evacuated the Science Center, Thayer, Sever and Emerson Halls. Harvard student Matt Wardrop says there were between 800-900 students in the Science Center at 9 a.m. to take exams.
The buildings were emptied out after unconfirmed reports came in that explosives had been planted on campus. Harvard is home to about 21,000 students, and many of them are taking final exams beginning today. There have been no reports of explosions. Harvard and Cambridge police are on the scene.

Our Own Olympian
While the 24-year-old business administration major from Parkton, Md., competed in swimming, fencing, equestrian, running and shooting events for the U.S. Modern Pentathlon team, her McDaniel swim coach, Jeff Hiestand, was in London, thanks to funds raised by the Olympian's parents, Willie and Avis Stettinius.
"If it wasn't for the swim team at McDaniel, Suzanne wouldn't be at the Olympics," said Willie Stettinius.
Stettinius trained and competed with the Green Terror swim team and, since graduating, she focused 100-percent on training in the five sports. She said competing in front of a crowd of 25,000 in the stadium at Greenwich Park was "pretty incredible," according to the U.S.A. Modern Pentathlon website.
"Every time you entered the stadium the crowd was just roaring," said Stettinius. "I've never competed before a crowd that large."
Over the past year, Hiestand volunteered his time to help Stettinius qualify as one of only three pentathletes representing the U.S., as have most of her other coaches, who will also be rooting for her in London.
Hiestand wrote a blog about the experience. In one entry, he explained why McDaniel is a winning formula for many athletes.
"When a high school senior is making the decision where to attend school, I think the final question comes down to, 'What can this college do for me?'
"Likewise, when a college is making the decision to admit a student, the final question comes down to, 'What can this student do for the college?'
"Here at McDaniel, I think we are progressive with that final question. The question we like to ask is, 'What can we accomplish together?'"
Also, he joked, "We keep magic water in our pool."

Yes We Can: Investigate 9/11!
by Sojourner Truth and VeilLifter
October 16, 2009
Although it is very doubtful the Obama Administration will ever seriously look into 9/11- he has stated that he believes the official cover-up version of the 9/11 as presented by the 9/11 Commission. Thus, activists used the opportunity to participate in 9/11 outreach to visitors from all over the world who come to see this beautiful city. Passed out were the very popular Deception Dollars, which have over 20 websites on them that people can peruse for 9/11 Truth information, and a 9/11 Fact Sheet that explains some of the lies and anomalies with the official story.
9/11 activists believe that the "war on terror" can be halted in its tracks by exposing the event that launched the war. Today there is ample evidence that we've been lied to and the perpetrator of 9/11 were not 19 hijackers. For instance, evidence of nanothermite have been discovered in all samples of the World Trade Center dust. This is a highly explosive incendiary that is only made in military labs in the West. For more information regarding the destruction of the WTC Towers 1, 2, and 7, see http://AE911Truth.org
9/11 Truth is the Key to Peace.

Republicans should say no to Jeb 2016
With Chris Christie in deep trouble, Republican poobahs are reportedly looking to Jeb Bush to save their party in 2016. The former two-term governor of Florida speaks fluent Spanish, is a convert to Catholicism, and has high name recognition. Jeb could raise millions of dollars over night by just saying "yes" to running.
Despite all this, there are strong reasons Republicans should say no to him.
1. His last name is poison.
Let's face it, if Jeb Bush had the last name of Something Else he would have already run for president in 2008 or 2012. According to a recent Washington Post/ABC News poll registered voters were asked if they would definitely NOT vote for Jeb Bush and 50 percent said they would not. Among Independents the results were 49 percent and even 18 percent of Republicans said the same.
These poll results prove that the legacy of George W. Bush continues to have a negative effect on his brother's political future.
2. Jeb would split the party
Conservative activists/Tea Party Republicans who are the majority of GOP primary voters are not lining up for Jeb 2016 due to his support for "Common Core" academic standards and his support for "amnesty" immigration legislation. Jeb, although he considers himself a "practicing conservative" is also viewed as a "moderate" establishment Republican in the mold of Mitt Romney.
The good news is that means he does not scare independent voters and is capable of raising millions from the "country-club" Republicans. The bad news is Jeb reinforces and epitomizes the "Establishment verses Tea Party" divide currently raging within the party.
3. Jeb's isn't ready for the new era of campaigns
Jeb was elected in 1998 and then reelected with 56 percent of the vote in 2002. In terms of political campaigns Jeb ran in the Stone Age before social media, hidden cameras (e.g. Romney's "47 percent"), and super PACs. Will Jeb be ready-to-rumble in this mean and harsh Republican primary environment?

Expedited Rate Case Related Links: Power Rate Adjustments > Safety Net (SN) CRAC
(updated on May 11, 2004)
On June 30, 2003, the Administrator of the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) signed the Final Record of Decision (ROD) concluding the SN CRAC rates hearing process. This process began in February 2003 when the Administrator determined that there was a greater than 50 percent probability of missing BPA's next payment to Treasury or other creditor. Under BPA's General Rate Schedule Provisions (GRSPs), the triggering of the SN CRAC process initiated a formal expedited 7(i) rates process, which was completed with the signing of the ROD in June 2003.
BPA received interim approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on October 1, 2003 and final approval on May 10, 2004. BPA will conduct a process each August to set the final rates, consistent with the SN CRAC formula decided in the 7(i) hearing process, for the FB and SN CRACs, with rates taking effect on October 1 of each year of the rate period. Additional information regarding the SN and FB CRAC will be posted on BPA's FB CRAC and SN CRAC web pages as it becomes available.

Funds from privatising Victoria's rural finance lender and the Port of Melbourne will be spent on infrastructure, the state government says on the eve of its budget.
The government is selling its agribusiness lender Rural Finance Corporation (RFC) to Bendigo and Adelaide Bank for $1.78 billion.
It will also push ahead with a 40-year lease of the Port of Melbourne.
The privatisations will feature in Tuesday's 2014/15 budget, which is expected to show Victoria will remain in the black and a focus on major infrastructure projects six months out from the state election.
The proceeds of the two asset sales will be spent on infrastructure, including extending the rail line from Mildura to Geelong.
The government also expects to reap a further 15 per cent from each sale under the federal asset recycling program, an incentive for states that sell assets to fund infrastructure.
Money from the RFC sale, which is expected to deliver the state net proceeds of about $400 million, will go towards building infrastructure in country Victoria.
"This is going to be a very good outcome for the people of rural and regional Victoria," Treasurer Michael O'Brien said on Monday.
The 40-year port lease will also go to the market early next year but the government will not reveal how much it expects to receive.
Mr O'Brien said the government had accepted advice that a 99-year port lease was a bad idea.
Ports Minister David Hodgett said funds raised would go towards the $110 million development of a container port at Hastings on the Mornington peninsula.
Tuesday's budget is also expected to feature more funds for Melbourne's East West Link tunnel and to shed light on plans for an airport rail link.
Mr O'Brien said Victoria was the only state with a surplus and all budget announcements would be fully funded.
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews bagged the asset sales, saying the RFC should have gone to tender.
"Who sells a $400 million asset without even going to tender?" he asked.
"We have very significant concerns about the Rural Finance Corporation deal."
Mr Andrews would not be drawn on whether Labor would support a 40-year Port of Melbourne lease, after originally calling for a long-term contract.
"We have always said what guides us fundamentally is the best value for Victorian taxpayers," he said.

When a shinobi leaves their village and starts operating for or under another, they're considered missing-nin. Given that he's never seen in the manga post-chumin exams and his story has him working for Orochimaru along with the fact that Konoha is the only village we've ever known him to be from: I'm assuming that's why he'd be listed as a missing-nin.--Cerez365™ 16:32, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

For Long Beach City College graduate Lynn Zabala, nursing is about more than tending to the sick. It's also about compassion and caring.
"I think a lot of nurses can lose sight of the emotional side of nursing," she said. "I want to help bring that back."
Zabala, who graduated from LBCC on Monday with a degree in vocational nursing, was this year's outstanding graduate from the school of nursing. This week she joins more than 1,500 LBCC students graduating with degrees or certificates.
The official commencement kicks off on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at Veterans Stadium. OC Weekly editor Gustavo Arrellano will give the commencement speech. Arrellano is an author and syndicated columnists best known for his "Ask a Mexican" column.
New graduates will likely have trouble finding work in a tough economy, but graduates like Zabala in the school of nursing typically have better prospects, said nursing program director Judy Wisenbaker.
"Nursing continues to be a high-demand field with good job opportunities," she said.
LBCC's vocational nursing program is a one-year program that prepares students for careers as licensed vocational nurses in doctor's offices, assisted living facilities, nursing homes and other settings.
The demand for licensed vocational nurses was expected to grow 22 percent between 2010 and 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average salary was $40,380 in 2010.
Wisenbaker said about 70 percent of nursing students who graduated from LBCC last year found jobs within the year.
"I think it might be a little lower this year because of the economy but it's still a growing field," she said.
Students who graduate from the vocational nursing program have the option of staying at LBCC for a second year to earned a degree in registered nursing.
Zabala, 26, plans to become a registered nurse and work in a hospital. She hopes to eventually work in an assisted living facing caring for the elderly.
As the president of the Student Nursing Association on campus, Zabala was chosen as this year's outstanding nursing graduate because of her hard work and dedication to the program, Wisenbaker said.
"She's done great work with fundraisers and community outreach," Wisenbaker said.
Zabala didn't always want to become a nurse. As a teen growing up in Long Beach, she faced hardship when her parents divorced and her dad moved back to the Philippines, leaving her mother to care for her and three siblings.
"I saw how much my mom struggled," she said.
After graduating from high school, Zabala worked as an assistant buyer for a clothing company, but became discouraged when she saw colleagues losing their jobs in the recession."
"I realized I didn't want to see people lose their jobs, I wanted to help people," she said.
Zabala decided to take an introductory nursing course at LBCC and never looked back. Her mother, she said, is especially proud.
"My mom always wanted me to become a nurse," she said. "This is her dream."

One of the most frustrating things for reporters is not being allowed to talk to the breakout players, the game-changers, the ones making the electric passes, catches, runs or tackles that made the difference in the game.
Recently for Alabama, the two stars have been true freshmen wide receiver Amari Cooper and running back T.J. Yeldon. They combined for 291 yards and four touchdowns on 22 touches against Tennessee and have been wowing fans and media alike all season. Cooper leads the team in receiving yards (425) and Yeldon is just six yards short of passing Eddie Lacy to lead the team in rushing (565).
But per head coach Nick Saban's policy, reporters aren't allowed to talk to freshmen. Several coaches have similar rules, but Monday morning, Saban was asked why he implemented these media restrictions.
A question like that could easily lead to an outburst, but instead, Saban laughed and told a story about Plaxico Burress trash talking when he was a freshman at Michigan State of all things.
"I guess I can tell you the story," Saban said, smiling. "We were at Michigan State and Plaxico Burress was a freshman and I love Plaxico, don't get me wrong. He was a great player for us. We were going to play Michigan at Michigan, which is the biggest game of the year. I let freshmen talk to the media. He says, "Yeah, going down there will be like taking candy from a baby.'
"So, he just about got killed. They tried to kill him down there for 60 minutes in the game. We didn't win the game."
And that was that. Saban learned a lesson that day and said no more freshmen for reporters.
Saban said Alabama has a public relations program the players have to go through starting on the first day of fall camp every year where Sports Information Director Jeff Purinton teaches them how to represent themselves positively while being interviewed, etc.
"We're not trying to hold them back from anything," Saban said. "We want to help them develop the skills necessary that they need to represent themselves in a first-class way.
"I think it takes a little pressure off them when they don't have to talk to the media. Because they worry about it…especially if they're not prepared for it.
"I know in some cases when you have a guy that has a lot of success as a freshman, the media would like to have the opportunity to talk to him. But I'm for protecting our players and helping them develop. We eventually want that guy to be able to talk to the media and do a good job with it."

IF RUPERT MURDOCH rules his vast media empire with a firm hand, it is perhaps because he learnt from the best.
Paying tribute to his late mother, Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, at a state memorial service at St Paul's Cathedral in Melbourne on Tuesday, the chairman and chief executive of News Corp said she had taken on the role of disciplinarian in the family because her husband was ''of uncertain health'', much older and given to indulging his children.
''Just let me say that mum pursued that role with none of the angst or self-doubt that consumes so many modern parents,'' he said to laughter from the congregation.
''I still remember vividly a good smack I got for pulling my big sister Helen's pigtails.''
He reminded the congregation that his mother had once described the rose named in her honour as being ''tough as old boots, just like me''.
''For mum, love wasn't soft or mushy,'' he said. ''It was strong and reliable.''
Dame Elisabeth died at her home, Cruden Farm, on the Mornington Peninsula, on December 5, surrounded by members of her extensive family. She was 103.
The much-awarded matriarch of the Murdoch clan was a noted philanthropist who supported more than 100 charities, medical foundations and arts and educational organisations, many of which were represented among the 1200 guests invited to the service by the family.
Also in attendance were former prime ministers Malcolm Fraser and John Howard, former treasurer Peter Costello, former premiers Joan Kirner, John Brumby and Jeff Kennett, and the Victorian Premier, Ted Baillieu.
There were state governors and governors-general. And there were figures from the worlds of entertainment and the media including singer Kamahl, comedian Barry Humphries, the managing director of Channel Nine, Jeffrey Browne, casino and media boss James Packer and, of course, grandson Lachlan Murdoch, the chairman of Ten, with his wife, Sarah.
Despite Dame Elisabeth's well-publicised vow to never meet the woman she blamed for the break-up of her son's second marriage, Rupert Murdoch's third wife, Wendi Deng Murdoch, accompanied him to the service.
As the gathering highlighted the place the Murdoch family holds within Australian society, so the accounts of Dame Elisabeth's life offered a reflection of the noblesse oblige she felt that place conferred.
''From a very young age, we knew mum's sense of obligation would mean we were not the only ones who made demands on her,'' her 81-year-old only son said.
Besides the public work she did, there were many instances of quiet giving that largely went unnoticed, he said.
''That was mum's way: doing good by stealth.''
Mr Murdoch said that every night his mother would retire to bed with a pile of papers and letters from people seeking her help.
''Come morning, she would sit with her fountain pen at the kitchen table and write personal letters to all those who had written to her,'' he said.
The Right Reverend Andrew St John, rector of the Church of the Transfiguration in New York, said Dame Elisabeth's philanthropy ''was intelligent, informed and wholehearted''.
''St Paul wrote that God loves a cheerful giver,'' he said, ''and she was certainly that.''
Mr Kennett spoke of the woman he first met when he was just ''four or five'' and who had become a close friend. Just two weeks before she broke her leg in a fall at her home, she had him and his wife, Felicity, to lunch.
Mr Kennett spoke of their shared love of gardening, saying she enjoyed ''actually putting your hands in the soil, staying connected to Mother Earth''.
Her approach to giving was much the same, he said - hands-on and deeply connected.
''I'm not comfortable with the word that's so often used about Dame Elisabeth, that she was a 'wonderful philanthropist','' Mr Kennett said. ''Of course she was. But to me philanthropy is so often just giving money. She was very generous but Dame Elisabeth gave more than that. She gave of herself, to every organisation that she became part of.''
She had, he said, ''a generosity of spirit rarely seen … Her example for living will be something that we can only aspire to achieve and I suspect none of us will do so''.
For all the talk of gardening and giving, Rupert Murdoch said no one could say they truly knew his mother if they did not understand one fact above all others.
It was, he said, ''the truth she repeated constantly through her long life - 'The most satisfying thing I ever did was to marry my husband'''.
Elisabeth Greene was just 19 when she wed the war journalist turned media boss Keith Murdoch. He was 42. They were married 24 years before he died, age 67, 60 years ago. She never remarried.
''Mum lived entirely for him,'' Mr Murdoch said. ''To her last breath, this beautiful woman never considered herself as anything but absolutely in love with my father. We children were part of that love.''
She is survived by Rupert and daughters Anne Kantor and Janet Calvert-Jones. Her eldest daughter, Helen, died in 2004.

Is London set for a new HIV epidemic?
Will a cut in the HIV prevention budget lead to a rise in infections?
Latest figures suggest that one in every 200 people in London is living with HIV. For gay men in the capital, that figure rises to one in ten.So it's rather alarming to discover that funding for HIV prevention in London has just been cut by a whopping 42 per cent.
A spokesperson for NHS North West London confirmed this, saying, 'In planning for 2011/12 eight PCTs [Primary Care Trusts] decided to reduce their financial input and ten PCTs withdrew funding completely. The impact of this was the reduction of the pan-London HIV prevention financial funding envelope by 42 per cent from that of 2010/11.'
Time Out has previously raised questions about the effectiveness of some prevention campaigns. But a cut of 42 per cent will have a massive impact on efforts to reduce the number of people testing positive for HIV, and could well lead to a rise in infections. We asked people working in the HIV sector for their reaction.
Deborah Jack chief executive of National Aids Trust
'Targeted HIV-prevention strategies are vital, especially for those most at risk, such as gay men, and without them it could lead to infection rates going up and awareness of HIV going down. HIV prevention should not be regarded as an easy target for short-term cost cutting.Any savings made now are likely to result in increased costs in treatment and care in the longer term.'
Ben Tunstall head of health improvement for the Terrence Higgins Trust
'Prevention initiatives are vital in educating people about HIV and keeping infection rates down, so we're worried about the potential effects of any cuts to this area of funding. Our priority at THT is to continue to support people with HIV and those at risk across London so we're concentrating on making the most of the prevention funding that is currently available and trying to maximise its impact across the capital. We're also working to make the strongest possible case, to local and national government, for prevention services to be maintained. It would be a dangerous mistake to reduce the funding which supports these vital services.'
Matthew Hodson of gay men's health charity GMFA
'Every year HIV prevention work is given less funding and expected to deliver more. Just in economic terms, prevention is far cheaper than treatment. If these cuts result in even a handful of men becoming infected with HIV, then the cost of treatment would mean that PCTs won't have saved the taxpayer a single penny. And the human cost of these cuts is that fewer men are able to access information and, as a result, more men become infected and have to live with the virus.London has the largest gay population in the UK and the highest number of people living with HIV. This round of cuts is just the latest in a long series in HIV-prevention funding. Best estimates suggest £19.2 million was spent on HIV prevention in London in 2001. By 2008 that had been cut to around £4 million and now it looks likely that the funding will be cut almost in half again. The HIV-prevention budget isn't slowly being eroded, it's being swept away.'
Peter Scott of new HIV prevention group Status
'At a time when new HIV infection among gay men is far too high and rising it would be a costly mistake to cut HIV-prevention funding. However, much of what passes for HIV prevention is irrelevant, ineffective and a waste of public money. That is why 42 per cent cutsacross the boardmake no sense: they punish some prevention projects that are efficient and effective and reward those that have wasted precious funds. This should act as a wake-up call. The cash envelope needs to be preserved but it needs to be spent more wisely. There is an opportunity in this funding dispute to thoroughly review HIV prevention in London and develop a truly effective programme. It's no bad thing if money is taken away from the failing organisations, so long as that money is spent on HIV prevention that actually works. From now on there has to be proper accountability for how the money is spent and what exactly it has achieved.'

Kaavya Viswanathan,
college student, admitted in April that she copied several passages from two books by Megan McCafferty, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, for her own novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life. The Harvard sophomore received wide attention when she was paid $500,000 in a two-book deal with publisher Little, Brown. But her star dimmed quickly, and Little, Brown recalled all copies of the book. Viswanathan, who said she had read McCafferty's books as a high school student, said the plagiarism was "unintentional and unconscious."

First Person
Letter from Coney IslandBy Mark McPherson
I spent the night in Coney Island and there are no mermaids on Mermaid Avenue right now, but the machinery of New York's recovery from Hurricane Sandy is everywhere to be seen. The streets teem with Con Edison and Verizon workers fixing overhead wires. One out of three buildings has some kind of light—from either portable generators or power lines. Relief workers, professional and volunteer, hand out goods to needy residents. A FEMA distribution center in a church parking lot includes a bank of Chase ATMs that shine like blue and white corporate beacons. Police cars sit, blue and red lights flashing, at almost every intersection, on the look out for looters and other bad actors. The weather remains on everyone's mind—another storm is predicted today, less severe than Sandy but not insignificant, with a four- or five-foot swell. Ordinarily, that would not breach the seawall, but the fear is that the damage from Sandy has left this neighborhood much more vulnerable to another flood. In fact, the FEMA center and the temporary police headquarters packed up and moved in anticipation.
Coney Island, the sharp southwestern corner of Brooklyn, was hit hard by Sandy. Read More

What about torrents? Have you tried them?
Hey all,
Just wondering if there is a working mirror for the BackTrack 4 Final Release VMWare Image?
Looks to me theres a pool of two links, one doesn't work at all and the other runs at such a slow speed it then times out after 1mb or so.
What about torrents? Have you tried them?
I've got no access to torrent usage or else I'd have tried it.
Just tired it again and it seems to have connected to a different mirror now and is now downloading at +600K\s.
I had the same problem. I used the Torrents, and got the file downloaded in no time.

Channels inside the cushion ensure the gel is evenly dispersed for consistent cooling. The gel cushion also relieves pressure points and converts a bleacher or bench into a comfortable seat. The cushion fits in any office chair, car seat, or airplane seat and folds for ease of transport. 14" W x 18" D x 1/2" H. (6 lbs.)

This cushion is cool
By lorraine
from san jose ca
Effective cooling with this cushion, for long periods of time. Cushion is fairly thin, so doesn't add too much height to the seat. I use on my computer chair, very comfortable, not too firm.
not really a soft seat
By sore bith
from white plains, ny
I just wanted a softer, more cushiony computer chair; but the cushion was hard and the materials became like clay. I took it off the chair, and the chair's own cushion was better and more comfortable. A disappointment!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Waste of money
By hbrigiii
from Rockport, Texas
This certainly not the cool cushion to use in South Texas. It is cool for about 10 minutes and then starts to warm up. Very shortly you are left with a pair of sweat soaked pants and look like you just sat in a bucket of water. There is no where for the air to blow through and keep your pants dry. Might work well in Maine but not down here
It Works!
By KN
from Parma, ID
My husband has a lower back pinched nerve; this gel cushion eased his pain. The fact that the cushion does not need to be placed in the freezer was a big plus for travel. Simply putting the cushion in an ice chest with ice or other frozen items was enough to reset the gel for reuse. Works great.
Helps with hot flashes!
By Minnow
from Weatherford, Texas
I tried this gel cushion hoping it would help with the unfortunate "hot flashes" that have come over me. Guess the menopause has come to stay. I use it to sit on as I drive, in the chair at my computer, and on the leather sofa to watch tv. It really does work! Keeps you cool all over. I am so glad I tried this! And it seems to last more than the 2 hours that is advertised. When you first pick it up, it feels weighty due to the crystals inside; then as you sit on it, the crystals turn to gel, and then to liquid. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting to stay cool!
Exactly what I wanted
By Cool Lady
from Tamarac, FL
This product is exactly what I wanted and didn't believe existed - and it works just as described! I use it on my desk chair, my couch while watching TV, and anyplace I want to stay comfortable. I live in a warm climate, so keeping cool is a priority for me. The "con" I indicated about refrigeration is not really so bad, since the cushion is effective for several hours before it needs to be refreshed in the fridge. I am very pleased with it.

Lotus Sport UK opened their 2012 Avon Tyres British GT Championship account with three podium finishes from two races at the picturesque Oulton Park circuit.
In challenging weather conditions Sailesh Bolisetti took to the wheel of the #48 Lotus Evora for the first stint in race one despite only having driven the car briefly in the wet. Promising lap times kept the car in the running for a good finish in GT4 before Phil Glew took over. Setting a stunning pace he reeled in the Ginetta of Hughes and Fannin who had a 1m37s gap at the start of his stint, by the end of the race he had closed that gap down to 37 seconds.
Marco Attard started in the #49 Lotus and following a great start kept 3rd place. With a solid pace throughout the race and improving lap times Alistair MacKinnion took over to keep the car in a podium scoring position.
Race two saw the #48 car star from pole position with Glew leading the way throughout his stint, he matched the pace of Hughes in the Ginetta and would pull out a 6 second lead by the time he came in for the driver change. Unfortunately for Bolisseti the pace of Jody Fannin in the Ginetta would prove too strong and would lose a place; despite this he would keep his head as others slid off the circuit and bring home the car in a brilliant second place.
Alistair Mackinnon started in the #49 car from third place but would lose out as the back end of the Lotus stepped out and dropped him down to fourth place. Attard would put in a solid drive to bring the car home in one piece finishing fourth in class.
Sailesh Bolisetti #48: "I had a great weekend with Lotus Sport UK; a big learning curve, and horrible conditions that I am not used too! My team-mate Phil helped me no end so that was great. Two second places is a great start to my British GT experience so I'm really happy!"
Phil Glew #48: "It's great to be back with the Lotus Sport UK guys, they do a great job. It was really enjoyable this weekend racing alongside the likes of Warren Hughes and Jody Fannin in such tricky conditions. Sailesh did a great job, lots for him to take on, and in these very wet conditions, he did a great job."

Rams running back Steven Jackson is known for having a high pain threshold. What is not known is if he will play Sunday versus the Bears, and confirmation won't come until about 90 minutes prior to kickoff. Jackson missed all three days of practice this week due to a groin injury and is listed as questionable on the injury report. That groin injury also kept Jackson off the field for most of the second half during St. Louis' Week 2 win over the Redskins.
Fantasy Analysis:
Many people, myself included, scoffed at the groin injury angle; we thought Jackson was kept off the field as punishment for drawing a 15-yard penalty around the goal line. But it's obviously not a cover. If Jackson is inactive, Daryl Richardson should get the majority of the carries against the Bears, who are not an easy team to run on. Isaiah Pead is also expected to get some playing time, making this backfield kind of murky.
But I am not going to lose twice on the same principle. Prior to last night, I said that I was not sure about Andre Brown against the Panthers. I thought that he would share carries with David Wilson, and things might go differently for Brown this week since there is some tape on him, and defenses are able to prepare for him. Look what happened. So yes, if Jackson is out, I think Richardson is a fine flex play. Pead is the much higher draft pick, but we have seen just about nothing out of him this season while Richardson displayed tremendous speed against Washington. I think he deserves at least 15 touches and can turn them into some goodness against Chicago. It's all predicated on Jackson being ruled out, but I'm upbeat about Richardson.

However, thanks to those drops of videos, I was able to get basic models done without any hesitation, but up until the most recent drops on UV mapping and texturing, I was almost ready to pick up UV Layout or UV Mapper Pro. Glad they released drops 7 and 8 just in time. However, my primary modeling tools have been Hexagon 184.108.40.206 and Carrara 8.1.1 Pro for the past few months, and while I am trying to make more sense of Blender's quirky interface, I still keep turning to DAZ for an easy way out.
