Crown Princess Mary attend activities in New York these days with the UN's General Assembly Special Session on International Conference on Population and Development - ICPD.
- 10:00 am. Crown Princess Mary attended a meeting with the High Level Task Force (HLTF) on the International Conference on Population and Development. HLTF aims to promote and ensure women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights in the new 2030 agenda for Sustainable Development.
On the second day in New York Mary participated in a meeting with the High-Level Task Force (abbreviated to HLTF,) on the International Conference on Population and Development that lasted all day. Mary joined High Level Task Force at the establishment back in 2012. HLTF aims to promote and ensure women's and girls' sexual and reproductive health and rights in the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which also was the agenda on September 28th in New York during the conference. Besides this, I have only been able to find very little from her day with HLTF instead I decided to talk a little about her role as a task force member and humanitarian fieldwork general.
As I just told you Mary became a member of High-Level Task Force for the International Conference o Population and Development in 2012 when the organization was established. The last seven years she has active in creating awareness on maternal health such as child mortality and girls' and women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. Her passionated work has led her to become an important spokeswoman on health, empowerment and rights issues. Besides being a task force member she serves as patron of several international organizations and foundations such as World Health Organization (WHO)- Regional Office for Europe, Maternal Worldwide and United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). She is also selected as one of the Young Global Leaders in 2012 by the World Economic Forum. She frequently specks at national and international conferences like she did yesterday. This beautifully is Mary represented on the High-Level Task Force for ICPD.
Posted by High-Level Task Force for ICPD on 30. januar 2013
At the day meeting with HLTF Mary was dressed in a plain white peplum featuring 3/4 sleeves paired with black trousers and what I think is her black SAND Copenhagen pumps. I was finally able to identify the new peplum which features leather details in the waist! It is from HUGO by Hugo Boss. Stylish but relaxed, a perfect outfit to a women on the go. I'm pretty sure she might have worn a few more accessories than her Orit Elhanati necklace maybe a pair of earrings or so but by looking at one two photo from a long distance it's hard to tell which.
Blouse: Hugo Boss Cherri Strech Cotton Blend Vegan Leather Blouse $255
Necklace: Orit Elhanati The Abyss Necklace DKK 10,300
Shoes: SAND Copenhagen?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/8/2012 (1802 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An ongoing power struggle between a splintered Winnipeg street gang is being linked to another spike in violence.
Police and justice sources tell the Free Press the M.O.B. has broken into two factions that have been targeting each other for several weeks. And while police have made a handful of arrests, there are many more gang members still out on the streets and posing a serious public safety risk.
The most serious incident connected to the M.O.B. infighting occurred on July 17, according to sources. A 15-year-old boy was shot in the stomach outside a Burrows Avenue gang hangout just after 5:30 a.m. and suffered life-threatening injuries. He remains in hospital but is now expected to survive.
Police began an investigation which was complicated by several reluctant witnesses, sources said. They arrested an alleged M.O.B. gang leader on Aug. 9 and charged him with several offences including aggravated assault.
But the accused, Jonathan Catcheway, is back on the streets after being granted bail earlier this week. The Crown was opposed to his release, but provincial court Judge Robert Heinrichs agreed to free him on several conditions including a nightly 8 p.m. curfew and $10,000 surety posted by family members. He is also barred from having any contact with fellow gang members.
A court-ordered ban prevents specific details of the case against Catcheway, 23, from being published at this time. None of the allegations is proven, and he is presumed innocent.
Police are searching for links between the feuding gang and two other recent shootings. A 25-year-old man was seriously injured outside an Alexander Avenue home on Aug. 4 and remains in hospital. Police arrested 24-year-old Thomas Halpin this week and laid numerous charges including aggravated assault. He is being held in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre.
Another Winnipeg teen was hit with gunfire on Thursday night during a home invasion in the 800 block of Aberdeen Avenue. Police said several people forced entry into the home about 8:40 p.m. and fired a gun at the fleeing group, striking the boy. The victim's age was not released Friday, and police are asking anyone with information to call 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-8477.
Sources told the Free Press there are believed to be other M.O.B-related attacks which haven't even been reported to them as gang members prefer to try to settle scores among themselves rather than involve the authorities.
Internal strife in a street gang is not new to Winnipeg. Other outfits, such as the Mad Cowz, have periodically turned on each other as they deal with issues such as drug profits and leadership structure. And Winnipeg police have certainly had their hands full in recent years dealing with gang tensions of all kinds.
At least five shootings and firebombings earlier this year were blamed on renewed hostilities between members of the Mad Cowz and their long-time rivals, the Manitoba Warriors. The main issue between them was drug turf and the lucrative profits that come from selling their product. Sources say tensions between the Mad Cowz — a predominantly African gang — and the Manitoba Warriors — a predominantly native gang — began to rise following an unsolved shooting death late last October in the parking lot of a McPhillips Street hotel.
Associates of the Hells Angels and Rock Machine have also been trading bullets and firebombs, with more than a dozen incidents last summer and fall. Police and justice officials publicly declared a biker war was brewing and warned citizens to be vigilant. Officers took the unusual step of going door to door in some neighbourhoods, warning people of the potential for violence.

A masculine hipster sub-genre explicably defined by a combination of finely manicured beard hair (possibly accented by a waxed mustache), flannel clothing, skinny jeans, a preference for the great outdoors, and a pronounced interest in manual labor, do-it-yourself craft making and handiwork. They typically enjoy hearty ales as well as farm-to-table food that they have probably harvested themselves. A heritage bro often identifies as a libertarian and wields an axe.

In romance, the dominating and powerful Alpha Male Hero is as beloved to readers as the misogynist and abusive Cave Man Hero is despised. The Alpha Male is overprotective, take-charge, and possessive. The Cave Man hero is, well, also overprotective, take-charge, and possessive.
There's a surprisingly thin line between the Alpha Male and the Cave Man, since they possess, at heart, the same general qualities. So what makes the possessiveness of an Alpha Male endearing and romantic, but the possessiveness of a Cave Man intimidating and controlling? Why do readers love the Alpha Male who throws the heroine over his shoulder while carrying her from a burning building, but will throw a book at the wall when the Cave Man does the same thing? Where does the line start? What is the ultimate difference between them?
The answer: The heroine.
Think of the characters of a romance novel as the opponents in a prize fight. When you have two fighters who, despite a seeming disparity in size and strength, are equally matched, you have one hell of a fight ahead of you. The crowd roars, the excitement crackles in the air, and all the spectators are interested and invested in watching the intimate give-and-take of the opponents—no one's sure who'll come out on top.
Now imagine the fight is between a heavyweight champion and some skinny dude who barely tops 90 pounds soaking wet. No one wants to watch a fight like that—it's too overmatched. No one wants to see a weakling get his butt handed to him, and no one roots for the hulking meathead willing to mop the floor with an opponent one-third his size.
It's the same in romance. Honestly, it all comes down to power balance. Readers can fall in love with brooding Highlanders, reckless pirates, ruthless businessmen, and lustful werewolves—provided they come with a strong heroine, and by strong, I don't't necessarily mean physically. Since most Alpha Male heroes tend to be physically more powerful, the best romance authors compensate by matching them up with heroines who are stronger intellectually, who use words and wit and cunning. Either way, when paired with a strong-willed heroine who is capable of defending and maintaining herself, the hero's forceful personality and aggression come across as challenges rather than threats.
One of the absolute best examples of this is Loretta Chase's timeless Lord of Scoundrels. Before he meets the heroine, the Marquis of Dain is about as repulsive as a man, much less a romantic hero, can get. He's callous, he's cruel, he objectifies women, and he has no qualms with throwing his pregnant mistress out on the street.
When he meets the heroine Jessica Trent, there's a wonderful scene where he tries to seduce her in public, slowly removing her glove and murmuring in Italian, using physical force and his dominating presence. But, to his horror, he realizes the canny Jessica has made him look like a devoted, adoring suitor instead, causing near-irreparable damage to his Take No Prisoners reputation. At first he's disgusted—outraged!—at being outmatched by a mere woman, but the more he pushes, the more Jessica pushes back. And it's because Jessica pushes back that the readers come to appreciate and care for Dain.
If an Alpha Male hero is paired with a passive, shallow, or weak-willed heroine, however, his flaws are only magnified. For a specific and literal example of how ugly a romance can become with unequally matched protagonists, I recently read a romance by Bonnie Vanak where a Big Bad Hero lusts after the Perfect Virgin Heroine. His solution? He drugs her, strips her, and hogties her to a bed in a brothel in order to force her to marry him. In this case, the heroine literally has no power to refuse him and the hero has all the power in the world to do whatever he wants.
Far from seeming dangerous and erotic, the hero's actions become despicable and exploitative, and the deeply uncomfortable love scene afterward comes across as sexual coercion if not outright rape. In this scene, the heroine responds with a passive decision to lie back and enjoy herself instead of an active decision to fight or defy or confront the hero directly. This isn't a Clash of the Titans—it's a punching bag taking a fist. And throughout this novel I never wanted anything so much as to dip the hero in honey and fling him naked into a room full of starving bears.
There's nothing wrong with the idea of the Alpha Male in itself. I think we all think and dream of men who are confident, protective, and determined, but a strong hero requires an equally strong heroine. It's not rocket science, just physics.

The Book: The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible by Robert J. Hutchinson
:10 — The Gist: Religious writer Robert Hutchinson defends the Bible against " mockers, skeptics, and deniers" and argues that it is "the source for the Western ideas of justice, science, and democracy."
:20 — The Quote: "The notion that you can read an encyclopedia of ancient wisdom like the Bible–written over the course of 1,000 years, in the three difficult ancient languages, by many different human authors spread across the breadth of the Middle East–the same way you read a newspaper article only reveals an astonishing comic book (for lack of a better term) understanding of the ancient world." (p. 6)
:30 — The Good: Provides a useful introduction to the reliability and influence of the Bible…
:40 — The Not-So Good: …but does so–not always but too often–in a manner that is politically strident and off-putting.
:50 — The Verdict: The latest entry in Regnery's popular P.I.G. series probably won't convince hardcore skeptics or atheists that the Bible is the Word of God. But Hutchinson, who holds an M.A. in biblical studies, from Fuller Theological seminary, ably defends the Scriptures against typical lame attacks (i.e., it's full of discrepancies; there is more than one Gospel account) and shows how the book has impacted and influenced Western civilization. The breadth of scholarship that is covered is surprisingly broad for such a general level book, though most of the material will be familiar to students of the Bible. Regrettably, the P.I.G. format requires that the subject be framed in the language of the culture war, which grows tiresome after a few chapters.
:60 — The Recommendation: A handy book for Christians who listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and need an introductory-level defense of the Bible.

Collinson FX market Commentary: April 29, 2014
Geo-Political developments worried markets, with tensions just below boiling point in the Ukraine. The Russians seem intent on destabilising the Ukraine, thus the unelected Government, in the lead up to elections. It is hard to these proceeding with the uncertainty engulfing the nation.
The US continues to talk and increase individual sanctions with little impact. All bark and no bite! This only serves to encourage US antagonists globally. Equities were mixed in a week of economic data releases highlighted by Growth and Jobs. The EUR pushed to 1.3850 and the GBP held 1.6800. Pending Homes Sales rose 3.4% for the month but remain heavily negative for the year.
Housing has been a major disappointment this year, considering the record low interest rates, thus the status of a leading indicator to the economy. The Dallas Fed Manufacturing Activity reported continued improvement in this sector emerging after the long hard winter.
The AUD traded steadily around 0,9250 in the lead up to the new Governments first budget. The KIWI was mixed, around 0.8520, with important trade data released today. This has been positive to date, in the rock star economy, but rising interest rates and currency will impact.

text: LOL at the "fans" who bash their own QB more then their rivals. It seems like you need some glasses bud, that "loser" you're talking about is the ONLY reason this putrid team has been competitive. Give Romo half a defense of the Seahawks and we'd have multiple championships. Also, that "loser" could've thrown 5+ interceptions and they still would've won the game. The amazing Russel Wilson had like 90 yards passing at half time, yet the Seahawks were leading 22-0. D-E-F-E-N-S-E ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Russel is just a game manager QB who's very mobile, and that's about it. He's the QB you want if you have a top 5 RB and the best defense in the NFL, which Seattle has. It's easy to win games when on average your defense only gives up 14 points, and are creating 2.5 turnovers a game. Oh, did I mention their defense only allows a 63.4 passer rating on average? Meanwhile our defense has a measly defensive passer rating of 96, I wonder if that extra 30 QB RTG has any affect? Nah, probably not.

Fantastically awesome, imho.Thanks for the support Rex. But is there really nobody else who is interested in this or has any comments? Either way? From either EPEL or other repos? I won't be offended if everyone thinks it's a waste of time and energy, but I was hoping that it might offer a positive way forward and any constructive comments are welcome.I'm actually a bit unsure myself about that and was watching what comments show up before commenting myself. My biggest concern: I think a "Repository Community Collaboration Statement" nothing that should be specific to EPEL. On the Fedora-site it should be signed by Fedora itself, to cover both Fedora repos and EPEL. Thus FESCo or the Board is likely the better place to go. As Rex is in both Committee's he's maybe a good person to poke ;-)
Yep. Individual maintainers shouldn't be asked to sign on a document like this. We have to make a project wide policy on this. It is just common sense guidelines. There is nothing inherently EPEL specific about third party repository collaboration.
On Fedora excluding EPEL most of the active maintainers of third party repository are already working with the project (atrpms, freshrpms, kde-redhat etc) and there is a separate effort to have rest of the packages that don't fit into Fedora's legal requirements into a single third party repository too.
A similar situation for third party repositories for EL would be very good for both contributors and end users. If third party repos have very different policies, it should be transparent to end users what the target audience and level of collaboration is.

The problem of how to make useful forecasts at lead times between a week and a month is a challenging and often neglected one. Forecast information on these time scales is in great demand from users. This is an area that NOAA has traditionally not focused on in the past. CDC researchers have been addressing the problem on two fronts; 1) by trying to extract the maximum information from ensemble NWP model forecasts, and 2) by investigating statistical forecast methods that complement the NWP ensembles by exploiting predictable signals not well represented in current models. Our research thus far suggests that the NWP and statistical approaches are complementary, and provide information that is independent to some degree. The challenge is to combine the two in an optimal manner, yielding forecasts that are superior to either individually. Due to the low-frequency nature of the phenomena at these forecast ranges, determining the optimal combination would require generating a long (20+ year) dataset of ensemble forecasts with a fixed model to estimate the forecast error statistics with the necessary accuracy. Work is currently underway at CDC to create such a dataset, which will also be useful in several other applications not discussed here.

Is this the end for gold? Is a gold bull the bravest person you know right now? More importantly, is that gold bull shrewder than
It was only in April, that Peter Wells compellingly disproved Spandau Ballet's tribute to the precious metal and one of the worst songs pop music has ever gifted us. (In 1983, when the Gold single was released, the price of the metal had plunged 65 per cent from a peak level of $US850 an ounce in January 1980).
Back in April, when gold had its biggest two-day plunge in 30 years, everyone was still freaking out about Cyprus and whether central banks would have to sell their gold reserves, whether inflation would ever happen, I don't think there was a singular reason to pin it on, but that was one big sell signal.
This time we have an answer: tapering. The market thinks that the Federal Reserve's almost-guaranteed exit from quantitative easing in 2014 will kill any chance of stimulating inflation, thus wiping out the appeal of the world's best-known inflation hedge – gold.
Gold is fetching September 2010 prices, trading at $US1291.80 an ounce on Friday. It's also on track for its first annual loss since 2000.
We saw US inflation on Tuesday night was benign, a fitting prelude to the FOMC meeting, in hindsight. But let's go trans-Atlantic for a moment and note that in the United Kingdom, inflation has been above the Bank of England target rate of 2 per cent, coming in at 2.7 per cent.
Japan's QE continues
While Japan is still stuck with deflation, there's no talk of tapering for the Bank of Japan, so that ¥7 trillion a month of QE continues unrestrained (and potentially ineffectual). So maybe this adds up to a case for gold. But how much of this is new? None of it. This was true when gold was more expensive than it is now.
The smartest thing I have ever read about gold is from bath-time thinker Buffett. This is a bit old – from his 2011 newsletter – but Buffett's wisdom is eternal and he's finally right about gold after a few years in the wilderness, but that's OK. He said gold has two shortcomings, "being neither of much use nor procreative" and "if you own one ounce of gold for an eternity, you will still own one ounce at its end." He means eternity's end.
Here's the best part: "Today [2011] the world's gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $US1750 per ounce, gold's price as I write this, its value would be $US9.6 trillion. Call this cube pile A.
"Let's now create a pile B costing an equal amount. For that, we could buy all US cropland (400 million acres with output of about $US200 billion annually), plus 16 Exxon Mobils (the world's most profitable company, one earning more than $US40 billion annually). After these purchases, we would have about $US1 trillion left over for walking-around money (no sense feeling strapped after this buying binge). Can you imagine an investor with $US9.6 trillion selecting pile A over pile B?"

Thanks to the fact that it delivers better handling while towing, at highway speeds, and in various parking lot tangos, GM's four-wheel-steering system is the most useful technological advance in the pickup market in decades.
Despite that reality, pickup buyers haven't really taken to the Delphi-designed system, which is called Quadrasteer.
That probably had more to do with what Quadrasteer cost, however, than what consumers thought of it; on top of the price of the truck itself, the system added about $5,600 to the sticker price.
GM insiders won't discuss the sales record of Quadrasteer to date, but the company's decision to more than halve the retail price of the technology on 2004 models of its pickups and SUVs suggests things have not gone as well as they'd hoped.
This is all good news for people looking at the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models, since Quadrasteer moves the full-size pickup experience to a whole other level of utility and ease.
Before we get to that, however, a look at those new prices and some packaging changes that make it less expensive.
For the 2004 model year, GM has indeed reduced the price of Quadrasteer -- from $4,495 to $1,995.
On top of that, Silverado and Sierra buyer no longer have to add the 5.7-litre V8 and the heavy-duty trailer package to get Quadrasteer, which saves another $1,100. They must, however, add the Autotrac Active Transfer Case, for $375.
Two-wheel drive Quadrasteer equipped trucks can be ordered with an optional traction assist system for $225.
All told, it now costs about $3,225 less to get Quadrasteer in a Chevrolet or GMC pickup, which means it now costs $2,370 to add to a new pickup.
the roof marker lamps, limited slip diff, ride control suspension and
a 145 amp alternator -- which had been bundled with Quadrasteer at additional
cost -- are now included in the package at no extra cost.
Leaving price aside, Quadrasteer still works essentially the same way -- for now, and more on that in a moment.
At high speeds, Quadrasteer allows the rear wheels to turn slightly in the same direction as the front wheels, which greatly improves tracking with or without a trailer. That was the primary goal of the engineers at GM when they started working on four-wheel-steer (at the time, Delphi was a part of GM), and it was reached.
But it's at low speeds that any four-wheel-steering system has its most dramatic affect, since it enables the rear wheels to turn 12 degrees in the opposite direction of the front wheels. That lets the vehicle make tighter turns, such as when cornering or getting into a tight parking space. The turning diameter of 2500 models with Quadrasteer is reduced 21 percent, from 49.6 feet to 37.4 feet, which is in the same range as a small car like the Saturn coupe.

Recruiting: Nicholson the next great at Gateway
The hottest prospect in the WPIAL has gone from backup to BCS offers in just a few months.
Meet Montae Nicholson.
If this month is any indication, Nicholson will be the next five-star recruit to come out of Gateway.
"There's no question," Gateway coach Terry Smith said. "Height, weight, speed, athleticism, ball skills, body control, intelligence — he's got the full package."
A 6-foot-2, 195-pound free safety who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds, Nicholson has so impressed coaches at camps that he has received scholarship offers from Bowling Green, Toledo, Pitt, Penn State and, on Tuesday, Michigan.
"It's amazing, actually," he said. "I figure if I go out there to these camps and show what I have, they'll be interested in me so I put it all on the line at these camps."
Nicholson was no slouch as a sophomore, just stuck behind Brian Jones, who received a full scholarship to Robert Morris.
Not that Nicholson allowed it to affect him, thanks to his no-nonsense mom, Jackie Crawford.
"He has a terrific mother who is keeping him grounded," Smith said. "She requires in her household for him to keep a 3.0 grade-point average to play. She doesn't care what the school rules are. He has that embedded in his foundation."
Adds Nicholson: "My mom is a stickler for grades, but I appreciate it. I look around at some kids, and that's the only thing that they're missing. I'm very thankful that I have a mom that presses me about my grades. If she didn't, I wouldn't have the opportunities that I do."
She's not all that keeps him humble. Gateway is a regular stop on the recruiting trail, but Nicholson sat out the spring with a separated shoulder. So, he knew he needed to compete on the camp circuit.
Nicholson is flattered to be mentioned in the same sentence as another Gators great now in the NFL, Justin King. Not that Nicholson welcomes the inevitable comparisons sure to follow.
"Don't get me wrong, Justin's a great player, and I'd like to be where he is, but I'd like people to follow in my footsteps; I'd like to make my own name," Nicholson said.
"I'll be honest. It is a lot to live up to, but I try not to let it faze me. People say, 'You're going to be the next Justin King,' but I'm just going to play football. I'm not going to let this go to my head."

|Home > National News > Issues > Bali Terror > Article
A simulated counter-terrorism operation in Sydney has revealed that New South Wales may not be as well prepared for a terrorist attack as it would like.
Premier Bob Carr yesterday conceded that the exercise, while successful, had identified the need for improvement in some areas. But he would not reveal the state's weak points.
"I'm not going to spell that out," he said. "It would be silly to indicate possible vulnerabilities in this exercise, but the good thing is we know what to work on."
In the exercise, state emergency services and specialist units responded to a a gun-wielding "terrorist" who had taken a "hostage" in a high-rise building in the Sydney suburb of Alexandria.
Negotiations between police and the terrorist ensued before the release of the hostage, who had been doused in petrol.
After meeting emergency personnel involved, Mr Carr said the exercise simulated the conditions they would face in the event of such a threat in Australia.

Body Discovered Along 8 Mile Road in Southfield
The mom and her sons, ages 5 and 7, were rushed to the hospital but are expected to survive. They are in stable condition.
Macio Allen ran to help. "I pulled the driver out of the SUV but the other young man wasn't moving, it was terrible," said Allen. He said his friend ran to the red car to help.
It is reported the two young men who died are cousins. The third teen who was in the SUV is expected to recover.
Detroit Police from the fatal squad are investigating.

BROOKINGS, S.D. – Aug 31, 2010 – Daktronics Inc. (NASDAQ-DAKT) of Brookings, S.D., today announced its latest LED video project for the Modell's Sporting Goods flagship retail store in Times Square. Located at 234 West 42nd Street in New York City, the new Daktronics-manufactured LED board officially fired up in mid-August.
"When researching potential suppliers for the board, we first looked to the HD screen at Yankee Stadium as a model," said Amanda Grossman, Director of Programming and Events in New York for Modell's Sporting Goods. "We quickly learned of Daktronics' capabilities through their work within that and other stadiums. The company came highly recommended from those familiar with the work of Daktronics."
The display utilizes Daktronics' cutting-edge 20 mm DVX LED video technology and measures approximately 10 feet high by 34 feet wide. Engineered and tested to perform under even the harshest conditions, Daktronics' DVX LED display line's advanced environmental protection and revolutionary cooling system combine with Daktronics' world-class image processing to bring stunning HD-quality video to any location.
"We will feature in-house content as well as highlight some of the great brands and product lines from key vendor partners including Adidas, Champion, Nike, Reebok and UnderArmour," said Grossman. "We also have the ability to broadcast press-conferences and other events occurring inside the store, such as pro player appearances, live to crowds on 42nd street."
Modell's also plans on running a Sports Network ticker along the bottom of the display while video content is displayed above.
"Daktronics is proud to offer Modell's the most reliable LED product in the market today," says Josh Henslin, Daktronics' project manager. "This DVX product is the first of its kind to be completely designed and tested using data from our in-house Product Reliability Lab. In the lab, we subjected the LED modules to extreme conditions, including hurricane-force winds, total submersion in water, and severe temperature fluctuations."
Daktronics' first Times Square project was the well-known Dow Jones Zipper display in 1986. Since that time, Daktronics has added more than 20 major projects to the world-famous area of New York City, more than any other LED display manufacturer. Some of the most well-known Daktronics projects in Times Square include the Coca-Cola® display, the Anheuser-Busch sign, and the new Sony Corporation of American and News Corporation display on One Times Square Tower installed in July 2010.

BROOKSVILLE — Before Hernando began its quest for a third consecutive trip to the region finals, coach Tim Sims knew what to expect from his seniors. He knew what to expect from some role players.
He just didn't know what would come from the junior star who helped launch his team to tonight's Class 5A region semifinal at Tavares (15-12).
Right-hander Brandon Lawson was a talented wild card. He starred at Springstead as a freshman but sat out last season after transferring to Hernando.
"You really didn't know how he was going to react when the lights were on," Sims said. "Every game, he's reacted more maturely than you expect a junior."
That's because the USF commit has grown up around the game. His dad was a pro prospect. His older brother, Dave, coached in college.
Lawson was one of Hernando County's top players as a freshman, racking up a team-high 46 strikeouts and posting a 1.97 ERA for the Eagles during an honorable-mention all-North Suncoast season.
He had to take on a different role last spring: cheerleader. A late transfer to Hernando forced him to sit out his sophomore season during the Leopards' run to the final four.
"It's very hard to watch," Lawson said. "I was heartbroken."
But he learned from his time in the stands. He rested his arm, which helped his fastball velocity reach the low 90s. He watched seniors lead, which taught him how to be a team player in the dugout.
"If there's a mental makeup that can handle it, it was Brandon's," Sims said. "He plays a lot of baseball. He eats and sleeps it."
Lawson's missing sophomore season didn't deter scouts. He was an honorable mention selection for Perfect Game's preseason underclassman All-America team. Missouri, Virginia Tech, UCF and others offered him a scholarship before he committed to USF in early January.
His presence is undeniable and extends beyond his 1.86 ERA and team-best 91 strikeouts. The Leopards are 9-3 in games with Lawson on the mound, including a 3-2 win over Tavares in March. He scattered four hits and two walks over a 10-strikeout complete game last week in Hernando's 5-1 win over Ridgewood last week in the region quarterfinals.
The Leopards' 8-7 record in games Lawson didn't pitch features an 11-9 loss to the Bulldogs in the district title game.
Lawson's bat has also been a welcome surprise for Hernando (17-10). Sims expected players like Brandon Gemmiti, UF commit Christian Arroyo and Jake Johnson to hit well, but Lawson has answered with 19 RBIs and a team-leading three home runs — including a monster two-run shot against Ridgewood.
"That's why we're here," Sims said. "He's a main contributor to that."
Lawson's bat might his biggest contribution tonight against Tavares in a rematch of the district title game. Sims said he wasn't sure whether Lawson or junior Trae Ratliff would start on the mound.
Regardless, Lawson said he's happy to be in a position to help his club in its playoff push this time.
"A lot of expectations are on us from the past two years," Lawson said. "We're just trying to show everyone that we can do it."

Admission is $7
5A: Hernando at Tavares, 7 p.m. Tuesday

Missing Brisbane author and journalist Andrew Stafford has made contact with a friend and has indicated he will return home.
Musician Tim Steward, of the Brisbane band Screamfeeder, called the author and journalist's phone about 12.30pm Tuesday and spoke briefly with him, he told Fairfax Media.
Mr Stafford "sounded bruised", Mr Steward said, but told him he would return to his home in the inner west suburb of St Lucia.
Thank you to all those who have looked out for me and sent messages of support today. I am safe and secure, and will return when well again.— Andrew Stafford (@staffo_sez) February 23, 2016
Mr Steward said he was unaware of the 44-year-old's location.
His phone had been detected in the early hours of Tuesday on the Cunningham Highway near Warwick and there were unconfirmed reports it had later been detected at Gin Gin, near Bundaberg.
Friends launched a campaign to find him after he made a series of concerning social media posts on Monday before deactivating his accounts.
The 44-year-old chronicled Brisbane's music scene in the 2004 book Pig City.
He freelances for a number of publications and is also a Brisbane-based AFL contributor for both the Brisbane Times and The Age.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
I have been seeing someone for 2 months and it was brilliant, I know he really likes me. We have spent every weekend together, and he's the first person I have seen for 3 years. We have even had a sexual relationship as I felt ready to do this. We have the same interests and outlook on life and enjoy each others company. We are both 30 and have our own flats and important jobs. Then hes been told he has to move 200 miles away and has said his head is not in the right place to see me anymore. I am devastated, I know he really likes me and he was so nervous the last time we met.
He never contacted me oover christmas and said its better we split now than down the line when its more painful, I was prepared to wait for him, or even see how we feel in a few months time
do I give him some space and then see how he feels? I have told him how much I care and we have decided to have a break for a few months I really feel its worth working at though
You have made your decision if you think it is worth working through. I would wait and see how he feels since his conflict may be temporary. You have nothing to lose. He may think very highly of you by sticking this out. Sometimes when people are going through something emotional they tend to push people away. When they get a clearer head later they will reach out for that person knowing they were supportive if only to have faith in them. It is up to you whether you choose to be in contact. If you really are able to wait, I would stay in contact for a few months to see if this passes. You may find that he returns your contact or that he knows what he want later when the crisis has passed. If months go by with no improvement then move on. The time frame is up to you.
Please press accept; this is the only way I am compensated
He's been very cool with me and I picked up my stuff from his on Saturday, I asked him if he actually cared about me, or was I just a quick shag. he said I wasn't but circumstances change, thats why he finished it. He has totally finished with me now
Yet i know he's still on the dating website we met on, looking for other girls
I feel so stupid, did he actually care, do you think his head is totally messed up
I know I'm better off without him, but I can't help thinking he's just messed up at the moment, I really did think he was the one

I am getting driver reinstalls very often on startups.
The drivers that get reinstalled are my hidef audio device, my external hard drives, and sometimes my ethernet cards.
There is actually no problem after they reinstall, the devices work fine. This just slows down startup a lot.
How can i fix this?

Most likely because it's originally a Windows program, VMWare also needs to translate the OpenGL function calls from the Windows API based OpenGL. Unlike Java, which is compiled into byte-code when it is compiled (an intermediate machine language, so to speak), C/C++ (which most games are written with) based OpenGL is compiled into whatever binary format the compiler is set to. If it's the Windows API, then those OpenGL calls are trying to find some dll file in the Windows directory and interface with it, something that OSX isn't going to have.

This graphic novel tells the story of Ismael "Izzy" Nazario and the time he spent as a teen in solitary confinement in New York City's Rikers Island jail.
California prison doctor linked to hundreds of inmate sterilizations has a history of malpractice settlements and patient complaints.
Our documentary with The Young Turks investigates why more than 100 women were sterilized in California state prisons from 2006 to 2010, even though elective sterilizations have been restricted in state prisons since 1994.
California lawmakers called today for an investigation of the physicians involved in the sterilization of women inmates and raised questions about a federal prison overseer's role in handling the matter. Former inmates say doctors pressured women into getting sterilized and targeted those deemed likely to commit future crimes.
For some families, seeing an image of their incarcerated relative for the first time in years has sparked renewed hope and revived dormant family connections. For others, the photographs are a shocking reminder of the length of time some inmates have been held in isolation.
For years, inmates held in security housing units at four California prisons were not allowed to have their picture taken. See what they look like now that the ban has been lifted.
Doctors with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation sterilized nearly 150 female inmates from 2006 to 2010 without required state approvals. Critics say officials targeted women deemed likely to return to prison.
America has embraced tough-on-crime policies since the 1990s. But this November, California voters will consider a ballot measure to reform the state's strict three strikes law.
Psychological, substance abuse and education profiles of California inmates reveal high numbers of addicts, but fewer at high risk for violent crimes.
The state Assembly is expected to vote before the end of the month on a bill that would give inmates in California's county jails who are dying or physically incapacitated a break.

AttributesLevels: 2 Number of car stalls: 4 Foundation:
- Den
- Deck
- Children's Retreat
- Formal Dining
- Vaulted Ceiling
- Abundant Glazing
A covered porch area with three arched openings spans a good portion of the front of the house. As you pass through the front door you enter a foyer with a dramatic 19' ceiling. Double doors on your left open to a den that could also be used as a study, guest room, or home office, and the formal dining room is on your right. Straight ahead, after passing beneath a narrow area with a 9' ceiling that supports the hallway on the upper level, the ceiling again rises to 19' in the spacious living room. A curved wall of stacked windows that extend almost to the ceiling looks out to the covered deck and the views beyond, and a large fireplace provides another focal point to this grand space.
The kitchen is perfectly positioned to access all of the living spaces in the house. It features an island with a double sink on top and a dishwasher below, lots of counter space, a small desk, and a walk–in pantry in the corner. A long countertop with cabinets below separates the kitchen from a casual dining area that is filled with sunlight during the day. A door in this area leads to both the covered and open deck at the rear of the house. Also open to the kitchen are a casual living space with a corner fireplace that can also be seen from the kitchen area, and the formal dining room. Between the kitchen and the 4–car garage is a large combination mudroom and laundry.
The other side of the house is devoted to the master bedroom suite and bedroom 2. The master bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, three large side–by–side windows for natural light and views, and doors leading to both the aforementioned covered deck and another covered private deck. Double doors open to the master bath. It features a large soaking tub framed by windows in two directions, an extra large shower, two separate sinks, and a private toilet. A door in the bathroom opens to a truly enormous walk–in closet.
Bedrooms 3 and 4 are located on the upper level, and each has its own full bathroom. The remainder of the upper floor was used by the original homeowners as a play area for their children. A portion of the ceilings in Bedroom 3 and Children's Retreat have sloping ceilings that are opened up with dormers.
Should you choose to construct the basement, you can add up to 2,000 sf of living space. As designed, it includes a 5th bedroom with a full bath, a home office, a library, and a large entertainment area with a full bar and a lounge. Most of the lower level has a ceiling height of 9'9" but some rooms, such as the closet, bathrooms, hallway, bar, and part of the recreation room and library have a ceiling height of 8&39;9". The lounge space has a ceiling height of 8'2".

"I Wanna Be A Star!"
Written by Mark Moore
Author's note: This story is based on the "Sailor Moon: Songs from the Hit TV Series" soundtrack album. It occurs after the English-dubbed episode, "Sibling Rivalry" (Japanese episode 72).
Some anime purists that are reading this may hate that I'm Americanizing the series, but I have to. I don't know enough about Japanese culture or geography to set it in Japan. Also, I prefer the North American character names over the Japanese character names. The girls live in San Fernando, California, thus explaining Serena's accent and dialect. I've also given the characters American last names, which I had discovered at the Internet Movie Database a while ago (they've since been removed). I've updated the time frame as well.
I prefer to think of the characters as inhabiting an anime world and appearing as they do in the TV series. However, if you wish to picture them as being live-action, go right ahead. As for the voices, I'm picking the voice actors that I like best: Serena = Terri Hawkes, Amy = Karen Bernstein, Raye = Katie Griffin, Lita = Susan Roman, Mina = Stephanie Morgenstern, Darien = Toby Proctor, Rini = Stephanie Beard, and Julie Lemieux = Sammy. Luna has a young, American-sounding voice.
I wrote this story from Friday, November 8, 2002, 5:30 PM to Sunday, December 8, 2002, 1:14 PM and from Wednesday, August 13, 2003, 9:00 PM to Thursday, August 14, 2003, 12:25 AM. I updated it on Thursday, August 14, 2003, from 11:00 PM to 11:06 PM. Reviews of all kinds are welcome. Enjoy the story!

In the last few years there has been a new method developed called "string gardens." The nice thing about these hanging plants is that anything goes. They come in a multitude of sizes – tiny little things wrapped in colorful fabric and tied with embroidery thread or very large specimens in burlap, hung with a chain. They can be pottery, glass containers, or as natural as a moss-wrapped root ball. These are plants that have been wrapped in a variety of materials and hung from windows, beams, or ceilings.>> read "Some Strings Attached" #Containers #How to #New Trends
If it's a crime to plant loads of color, then I plead guilty. Color just feels good. Or does it?
The last few years during my morning walks around my neighborhood, I began to notice that my eyes were continually seeking out green-on-green gardens, landscapes that relied on nothing for their beauty other than year-round evergreens and perhaps a lawn area and some especially bright green summer additions.
You've finally tracked down that plant your local nurseries don't carry, and at a great price to boot! But the description says, "Ships bare root." Not sure what that means? Or are you afraid of getting a bunch of dead-looking roots that won't grow?>> read "Bare Root Basics"
Tall, multicolored 'Granny's Bouquet' zinnias flourish in the sunny border. We've been clipping them regularly for the table, which encourages new flowering. Heritage garden roses are into their second or third flush. Landscape roses continue strong and brighter than ever. Grape, patio and large luscious tomatoes are at peak production. Yellow and green summer squash are so prolific that neighbors walk the other way when they see you carrying yet another vegetable.
July and August also can bring out the worst in marginally healthy plants. Plants are a collection of living cells, just like us. We're more susceptible to going downhill fast when stressed, underfed, dehydrated, injured, too hot or too cold.
This is the time of year when we go from just harvesting to harvesting in earnest. You actually have to have a plan. What you can't eat, freeze or can now, you need to give away and give away fast. Here are some great ways to make the most of your bounty.>> read "You Can't Have Too Much of a Good Thing" #Edibles #Recipes #Vegetables
The most admired image of a garden bridge is the one at Giverny in France, immortalized in paintings by Claude Monet and photographed by scores of visitors intent on capturing Monet's vision. Gently arching over a narrow part of the lily pond, this Japanese-style bridge has green railings and an arbor that rises above it, entwined with trailing wisteria vines. Looking across the glistening pond filled with waterlilies, the bridge creates a romantic and dreamy background in harmony with the graceful weeping willows and the green lushness of the garden.
Garden bridges can be both purposeful and enchanting. They not only provide access across a pond, a small stream, a ravine or a swale, but can also create a dramatic focal point. Bridges are a symbol of transition and passage, and are often considered a metaphor for life. Crossing a bridge and looking down into a swiftly flowing stream or still pond opens up vistas into and across the water. It also gives you a new perspective as you view the garden from such a vantage point.
New beginnings are easily born on thresholds. Whether it's in the garden or in life, this point of transition symbolizes a new beginning. For brides, being carried across the threshold of a new home marks the start of a new phase of life. For my own wedding in 1988, my husband and I were married on the banks of the Elizabeth River in Portsmouth, Va., on a dock that served as the threshold of our new life together.
A threshold is where one moves from one space to the next – an arbor, a bridge, a gate, a break in the hedge, a set of dramatic steps leading to a level change or even a pair of columns – made of either shrubs or trees, or hardscape materials. They punctuate a space, alerting visitors they are about to experience a change in scenery.
The hardscape of a landscape provides the "bones" of an overall design. Typical hardscape features are patios, pathways, stairways and various garden structures.
Concrete is often used for paved areas, and the number of options available to homeowners is only limited by one's imagination. The bright white of new concrete is highly reflective and sometimes isn't the first choice of a finish. Given a little bit of time, any concrete will begin to age and the bright-white tones will mute to a tan, earthen color simply through normal weathering.
Whether for entertaining guests, enjoying the view or finding solitude, a garden gazebo adds a focal point to the landscape that draws the eye and invites a visit. The placement of the gazebo, materials used and the selection of surrounding plants are all elements that determine the style and personality of the gazebo and help tie it in with the existing home and landscape.>> read "The Allure of a Gazebo" #Misc
Tap the Southern mind and I promise you, a swirl of porch-swing memories will pour out. For me, the gentle wind of a summer rain transports me back to Grandma's veranda swing as she sat with her Burpee Seed catalogin hand anda cold Coke nearby on the porch rail … the two-note song of the back and forth swing harmonizing with rain hitting the tin roof and the far-off sound of rolling thunder. In To Kill a Mockingbird,iconic Atticus, immaculate in his linen suit, sways with Scout on the front-porch swing, teaching her about compromise on that stressful first day of school. Eli Wallach in Baby Dollpreys on sultry Carrol Baker in her front-yard swing. In Deliverance,the deep-country banjo player settles on the porch swing as he duels with the city guitarist, his effortless fingers a blur on the strings, making the city guy sweat.
We can sway on the porch as fireflies flicker at dusk and enjoy the garden perfume of peonies and roses, tea olive, magnolia, gardenia, phlox and on and on. Mosquitoes are kept at bay by our personal breeze and we enjoy being outside even as the great heat rises from the earth to engulf us. We inhale the aroma of supper cooking inside, laugh with our cousins, cry alone, and sleep easy on the screened-in porch swing with our pillow, quilt and favorite little mutt ...
For me, a garden is decidedly manmade, a deliberately arranged space. After all, no matter how natural or realistic a garden is designed to be, it is, by its very nature, contrived. Furthermore, a garden (along with its plantings) is meant to activate one or more of the five senses. In other words, it sets a specific mood and engages the visitor; and so it is with indoor spaces and plantings as well. So, why should designing for the attractive and effective use of office plants be so different from doing the same thing outside in the garden? With this in mind, I decided to use my own office as a testing ground for learning more about this living form of decoration. I hope the results will stimulate and inspire you to grow your own success story by adding a little stylish green to your workspace.>> read "Growing Success" #Containers #Design #Environment
One of the most common topics of conversation between gardeners is the weather. Rain, heat, cold and drought all present challenges to maintaining a good-looking garden and landscape. Together, these environmental factors are referred to as the "climate" for a particular area or region. Since these areas can be rather large, we can call these environmental factors the macroclimate for a given area. The USDA Hardiness Zone map is a resource we use to determine growing conditions over wide areas and regions.
Within the larger macroclimates are smaller areas that have different or modified conditions. These pockets may be warmer or cooler, or wetter or drier than surrounding areas. These areas are termed "microclimates" and can be influenced by buildings, trees, bodies of water or elevation changes.

Helena Bonham Carter Promises Her Oscar Outfit Will Be "A Catastrophe"
"I promise you, I'll wear the same colors shoes … I have no idea [what I'm wearing] … As my boyfriend knows, it's right up to the last minute… Can go wrong at any time. It's probably going to be a catastrophe."
