Like Batfat saya, Glass Bottom Boat is the prettiest pale green with subtle sky blue flash that is sadly SHEER. Worn on its own it goes on unevenly then blends away to almost nothing leaving barely there baby blue sparkles that seem to migrate to anywhere and everywhere. The way I get it to stay put on my lids is to press it on with a damp nearly wet Q-Tip (cotton bud). It doesn't work for,me any other way - not with primers, brushes, buffers, fingers, eyeliner sealers, nothing. I'm glad I found how to work it as it is very pretty for the summer and I somehow ended up with 2 jars I'll never use up as they seem to last forever.
Two colors I think look similar that are easier to work with are Pure Luxe's loose mineral shadow "Cabana", is almost an exact match (even though it seems brighter in the jar it applies lighter). Also Mac's "Warm Chill" from the 2008 Cool Heat collection is similar but more frosty/pigmented.

I normally wouldnt wear a color like this but I'm so glad I tried it. This is a beautiful pale green with this amazing blue shimmer in it. I changes colors depending on how your looking at it. I did have to wet it for it to really show up but once I did I loved it! I used w/ UDPP and it lasted all day.

I don't know why the website calls this a tropical shade...it's a verrrrry pale green with a sky blue flash.
I don't really know how to use this...it hardly shows up on my skintone...perhaps i should just pat it over a blue or green shadow to create some effects.
would not repurchase.

This color is a nice color. It is a very light green with some shimmer. It is a nice color to pair with other colors but it doesn't do much for me all alone.

This is a very pretty pale turqoise green shade. Its got lovely shimmer of the same color that really makes this color - if it were matte it certainly wouldnt hold the same appeal. As lovely as it appears on its own it is a tricky color to wear and I'd suggest anyone who is interested try a sample size first to make sure you can find a use for it. I cant wear it very well alone - on my yellow undertones it doesnt work very well but overtop of my darker purple or brown eyeshadows it just looks absolutely stunning as a wash of greenish sparkle. If you are planning on wearing it alone - it is not a deeply pigmented shade and even foiled will not make a dramatic eye by any means. I would definitely but it again for the use I listed above - it is really such a pretty color when you find a way to use it that works for you.

KinderCorner Instructional Components
Click here for activities and ideas KinderCorner
Greetings, Readings, & Writings (15 Minutes)
Each day begins with Greetings, Readings, & Writings. The children are warmly welcomed into your inviting classroom and then become actively involved in meaningful activities after they enter the classroom.
Let's Get Together (15 Minutes)
The Let's Get Together component begins with a sharing time called Let's Talk. The children pass around the Speaking Stone and take truns talking about what is important to them. This builds a feeling of community in the class. Spotlight On introduces the thematic concepts for the day, beginning with the Daily Message.
Rhyme Time (10 Minutes)
The next component, Rhyme Time, promotes phonemic awareness and increases them-related vocabulary through rhymes, songs, and games.
Story Tree (20 Minutes)
Story Tree engages the children in wonderful, age-appropriate literature as they make predictions, recall events, and learn new, theme-related vocabulary. The children often recall and act out the story and learn story elements through high level questioning.
Learning Labs (40 Minutes)
The Learning Labs foster thematic exploration through concrete, hands-on activities. The children engage in problem solving, exploring materials, experimenting, observing, and recording. They interact together, enhancing their interpersonal and oral language skills.
15 Minute Math (15 Minutes)
15 Minute Math is a brief, daily routine of mathematics activities that are connected to everyday situations. All of the activities center around an interactive bulletin board that includes both hands-on and visual materials. The children use a calendar, look at patterns, create graphs, count the number of days they have been in school, and do many other "thinking tasks". The activities are often related to teh theme or time of year.
Snack Time (10 Minutes)
Snack Time enhances interpersonal and self-help skills through peer and adult-child interaction. The focus at Snack Time is on teaching children the mealtime social conventions: making conversation, sharing, serving themselves, using good manners.
Outside/Gross Motor Play (20 Minutes)
Outside/Gross Motor Play promotes physical and social development through theme-related movement activities. Locomotr, balance, and manipulation activities provide opportunities for the children to get exercise and to internalize thematic concepts through kinesthetic experiences.
Stepping Stones (25 Minutes)
Stepping Stones is the structured reading instruction component of the day. It is designed to expose children to letter-sound connections, blending, segmenting, and concepts of print. The activites are brief and engaging. The children are then introduced to the KinderRoots Shared Stories with simple phonetically regular text. Even if some children do not grasp decoding, the focused instruction will provide an awareness and foundation for the Reading Roots program in first grade.
Eat & Run (40 Minutes)
There is a time in the schedule called Eat & Run. There are no set activities for this time of the day so it is not included in the Theme Guides. It is a placeholder to remind us that all young children need time to recharge their batteries. The KinderCorner program emphasizes the importance of nutrition and exercise in helping children grow into strong, accomplished individuals.
Math Mysteries (20 Minutes)
Math Mysteries is a hands-on, languag-based, problem-solving approach to learning mathematics. It consists of a series of clearly structured mathematical concepts and skills emphasizing concept development. Students are actively engaged in constructing their own understanding of mathematics.
Let's Daydream (25 Minutes)
Children also need time to rest. Many children will not sleep at this time. But we all, including you, need down time to relax and unwind. During the rest period, Let's Daydream, we offer a suggested reading, often a poem or piece of beautiful prose filled with imagery, which may provide something for the children to think about while they are resting.
Write Away (20 Minutes)
The suggested reading for Let's Daydream may also provide a topic for the children to write about during Write Away, the emergent writing component that follows rest time. Write Away is an emergent writing process that focuses on what the children are writing about rather than on handwriting.
Let's Think About It (10 Minutes)
At the end of the day is a reflection time, Let's Think About It, which reinforces skills and concepts that the children have learned during the day. It helps them recall and summarize the day's events through discussion and closure activities, such as compiling a book of the day's activities or themes or graphing experiences.
Home Links
Just before the children leave for home, they receive a Home Link activity that promotes family involvement in the children's education. It is a type of "homework", a simple activity that links what the chilren are learning at school with their life outside of school. It might be finding something at home that begins with the sound they learned that day in school, or bringing in something that smells nice, when the focus that day has been the sense of smell. They often take home the children's versions of the SFA Big Books and the KinderRoots Shared Stories, as well as Math Home Links. They should spend about 20 minutes a day reading with an adult or older sibling.

Telefonica O2 R&D Lecture
16 May 2009
Dr Mike Short, Vice-President of Research and Development
at Telefónica O2, outlined the latest challenges in digital communications in a lecture at UCL on 16 March 2009.
Developing UCL Relationship with O2 Telefonica
Prof. Bernard Buxton, UCL Dean of Engineering Sciences and Prof. Alwyn Seeds, Head of UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering, hosted an important Business Partnership lecture on Monday 16th March 2009. This was given by Dr Mike Short, VP of Group Research and Development at Telefonica O2, recent Chairman and current Honorary President of the Mobile Data Association and current Chairman of the UKTI ICT Sector Advisory Board, and Vice President of IET.
Attended by UCL staff, students and alumni, as well as IET
members, the lecture is another positive development in the relationship
with Telefonica O2, initiated by Dr Anna Clark, UCL Director of Corporate Partnerships.
Mike Short's lecture focused on Third Generation Mobile, Mobile Data
Applications, and New Trends in Bridging Digital Divides, including
greater connectivity in transport, assisted healthcare, machine to
machine (M2M) and consumer-oriented connected appliances.
Mike Short considered that the global mobile communications industry was one of the most robust sectors in the world economy, with rapid growth in India, Latin America and China. With more than 4 billion handsets worldwide (predicted to be 5 billion by 2011), and with massive growth in data usage (texting), it will be one of the 'catalysts for recovery' in the current market downturn.
With one of the largest European research and development budgets and with one of the market's most rapid growth rates, Telefonica O2 is continuing to place emphasis on innovation and partnerships. It is not anticipating a reduction in graduate internships.

School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. Supports Half Hollow Hills Invitational Postseason Robotics Event - Half Hollow Hills High School West
November 16, 2013 - Dix Hills
School-Business Partnerships of Long Island, Inc. (SBPLI) is highlighting the importance of middle school and high school robotics programs with its support of the Half Hollow Hills Invitational. School robotics programs immerse youngsters in the science of physics and the field of engineering. They provide an enjoyable, engaging learning environment and they enhance problem solving skills, cooperation and teamwork.
The Invitational is designed to showcase the benefits of robotics programs on students, schools and their communities. Residents, teachers and administrators from the Half Hollow Hills School District and other Long Island school districts are invited to attend.
"The competition is not just about the design and building of sophisticated robots. These students also develop maturity, professionalism, teamwork and mentoring skills that enrich their lives," said Joani Madarash, Executive Director, SBPLI. "Many of our students develop an affinity for their science and math courses, and go on to study engineering, technology or science in college."
Participating teams will be using the robots they built for the 2013 Long Island Regional FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competition, which was held at Hofstra University in April. At the event, students will program their robots, some weighing as much as 120 pounds, to compete on a 27-by-54-foot playing field with pyramids, attempting to earn points by shooting as many flying discs into their goals as possible during the two-minute, 15-second match. Discs thrown into higher goals scores Alliances more points. Matches will end with robots attempting to climb up pyramids located near the middle of the field.
The following teams are scheduled to compete so far: Baldwin, Bay Shore, Central Islip, Center Moriches, Cold Spring Harbor, Comsewogue, Connetquot, Gill St. Bernard's School (Gladstone, NJ), Great Neck South, Hauppauge, Half Hollow Hills, Hicksville, Island Trees, Long Island City, Malverne, Miller Place, North Shore, Patchogue-Medford, Plainview-Old Bethpage, Port Washington, Sachem North, and Seaford. Registration is still ongoing.
"We also would like to invite other potential rookie teams to join us, work with veteran teams, and have the opportunity to drive a robot to give them a feel for the program which they would not otherwise have," Ms. Madarash said.
For more information on the Half Hollow Hills Invitational, or to find out how to register a team for the competition, call Julian Aptowitz or Christian Mirchel of Half Hollow Hills High School at (631) 592-3200. For more information about SBPLI, visit www.sbpli.org.

A roundup of trading on major world markets:
NEW YORK - US stocks rose amid solid reports on housing and consumer confidence and as a large bond offering by Apple cheered investors.
At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 16.82 (0.11 per cent) to 14,835.57
The broad-based S&P 500 picked up 3.66 (0.23 per cent) at 1,597.27, a new all-time closing high. The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index added 21.77 (0.66 per cent) at 3,328.79.
The monthly Case-Shiller index of city housing prices showed that prices rose a seasonally adjusted 1.2 per cent in the 20 biggest urban markets, a fresh sign of recovery in the housing market.
Investors were also heartened by a rise in April consumer confidence to 68.1 points from a revised 61.9 in March.
LONDON - European stock markets closed with mixed results as investors balanced mostly gloomy eurozone economic data against growing hopes of an interest rate cut from the European Central Bank, dealers say.
London's FTSE 100 index of top companies gave up 0.43 per cent to 6,430.12 points, the Paris CAC 40 slid 0.31 per cent to 3,856.75 and Madrid's IBEX 35 slipped 0.38 per cent to 8,419.
On the upside, Frankfurt's DAX 30 gained 0.51 per cent to 7,913.71 points, boosted by resilient German labour market and consumer confidence figures.
The euro hit a two-week peak at $1.3186 before settling back to $1.3171, which was still a gain from $1.3097 late on Monday in New York.
HONG KONG - Asian markets mostly rose after another record close on Wall Street, while sentiment was also boosted by news that a new government had finally been formed in Italy after months of deadlock.
Japan's Nikkei, which was closed on Monday for a holiday, was stuck in negative territory on Tuesday, however, as a stronger yen outweighed data pointing to a tentative recovery in the world's No. 3 economy.
Tokyo fell 0.17 per cent, or 23.27 points, to 13,860.86 and Seoul rose 1.20 per cent, or 23.25 points, to 1,963.95, while Sydney jumped 1.28 per cent, or 65.4 points, to 5,191.2. Hong Kong added 0.69 per cent, or 156.24 points, to 22,737.01.

11:45 Tuesday - Thursday
Michael R. Leming, Professor
Spring 1999
Class Related Links
On Common Ground
I. Introduction to Course:
As a level two course, this course in the sociology of religion is based on the assumption that members of this class are very familiar with the sociological perspective. Consequently, the instructor will assume that every member of the class will have taken a sociology course. (If this is not the case, please consult the professor regarding appropriate supplementary reading.)
II. Purposes of the Course:
The Classroom:
The class will consist of discussions, lectures, and tests. Your attendance is requested at the times the class meets. Attendance will be taken and grades will be lowered one letter grade for each absence above three (eg., If you earned an A in the course and were absent 4 times, you would receive an A-.).
This class, unlike a level one course, will be taught as a seminar. Each class session will be devoted to the discussion of assigned reading and student papers. Ideas, comments, questions, and disagreements are welcomed in class, during lectures, and in discussions. Student participation in class is expected and therefore will be evaluated.
Grading and Student Evaluation:
Each student will write two short term papers on approved topics dealing with religious phenomena. The papers will not exceed seven pages and not be shorter than five pages in length. All papers will be double-spaced and typed on a computer and in the American Sociological Review footnoting format. Each paper will be preceded by a 50-100 word typed abstract (typed on a separate sheet of paper). These abstracts will serve as a basis for class discussion. Each paper will be worth 100 points.
The final grade for the course will be also influenced by three exam scores. The examinations will be worth 100 points each. Since this class is a seminar, your presence and active participation is very important and therefore will also have an effect upon your grade. The instructor will evaluate the quality of the student's participation using 100 points as a maximum. The final grade will be assigned in the following manner:
Papers 200 Points Mid-Term Exam 200 Points Discussion 100 Points Final Exam 100 Points TOTAL POINTS POSSIBLE 600 POINTS GRADES A = 91% A-= 90% B+= 89% B = 81% B-= 80% C+= 79% C = 71% C-= 70% D+= 69% D = 61% D-= 60% F = 59%

In "Blood Alley", the string of camera stores on and around Elizabeth Street in the city, they are still trying to come to terms with the repercussions of the most disruptive year in a century-and-a-half of photographic retailing.
Consumers may be celebrating the increasing resolution and features and decreasing prices of digital cameras that marked 2003 but while sales of digital still cameras are around 125 per cent higher than in 2002, the industry has been losing revenue from processing, suffering increased competition from the big-advertising Harvey Norman chain and discounters such as JB Hi-Fi.
The price of 3-megapixel and 4-megapixel cameras, which last year were
bringing $900 to $1400, this year dropped to between $300 and $600. Consumers'
expectations have risen to the point where, according to Gwenno Hopkin, imaging
analyst with GfK Marketing Services, they are now demanding zoom lenses and more
megapixels, and getting them for less. Last year, 40 per cent of sales were of
2- and 3-megapixel models and 39 per cent had no zoom lens. This year, 48 per
cent of sales were 3- to 4-megapixel cameras, and 56 per cent had 3x optical
zoom. At the same time, the average price dropped from $661 to $573 in the 12
months to October.
There has also been competition for photo processing. The price of a digital 6x4 print has fallen from $1.50 two years ago to 50 cents, and because digital camera owners tend to print less - or to use their own inkjet printers - revenue from the $300-$400 million annual film and processing market dropped by 10 to 15 per cent.
Even with sales of around 900,000 digital still cameras, choosing what to stock has become increasingly difficult. By the end of the year there were something like 200 different models on the market, compared to around half that in 2002, and the product cycle time was as little as four months - compared to as much as four or five years for analog cameras.
Terry Rimmer, executive director of the retailers' body, the Photo Marketing Association of Australia, says: "The consumer wants the latest at any time, so it's very important to run with the hot product of the day. And when a small percentage of the stock produces most of the profits, you will have periods where the gun products will be difficult to get hold of."
Canon had a suite of "gun products" during the year, trumping the high-end consumer market with the release of the first sub-$2000 digital SLR (Single-Lens Reflex) camera - the EOS 300D. In October alone, Canon sold 2000 of them, and by the beginning of December they were in back order.
Canon's consumer imaging products group marketing manager, Stuart Poignand, says: "We could have sold twice as many."
Canon is in back order on practically all of its popular recent models. Retailers say they have managed to create the equivalent of a just-in-time delivery system that saves them the cost of warehousing their stock.
Olympus also had an important release with its E1 SLR ($3499 plus $999 for 14-54 zoom lens), which uses a new "4/3" image sensor. But some observers believe it may suffer from the bargain mentality of the marketplace, falling into a no-man's land between the EOS 300D (at $2000 less) and the roughly comparable Canon EOS 10D ($500 less).
Canon has yielded nothing to Olympus as that company has been seeking to buy market share, and concentrating its efforts on Harvey Norman and the bigger specialist camera stores, while excluding smaller camera stores.
The battle for market share is expected to become even more intense next year, with the amalgamation of Konica and Minolta and the focusing of the merged camera lines under the Minolta brand.
Nikon survived 2003 largely on its reputation, and the popularity of models such as the Coolpix 4300, despite a relatively tired product line. But with the announcement of a new consumer digital SLR camera, the D70, for the first quarter of next year, it is also signalling a willingness to join the fight.

Prices can vary widely for similar mobile homes. Shop around for a deal.
Mobile home prices for both used and new mobile homes will be found to vary very considerably based on where you aere located and the competition between dealerships there. As a rule,if you are in a larger city with a considerable number of mobile home dealers the competition for business will tend to hold prices down to lower levels.
In the case of smaller cities and towns with only a few mobile home dealerships the going prices will usually be higher. It is definitely a good idea to go online to procure price lists from several dealers, within your area, for the kind of home you are in the market for. Inform them of course that you are contacting several dealerships and that you want the best deal available. This will make certain that you get a competitive price quotation, and you will nearly always get follow up phone calls or emails from salesmen looking to get your business.
The quotes that you receive will of course be on different makes and models, and you should compare them to obtain the best match for the things you want to have in your new mobile home. The dealers always have floor plans of the homes they sell which you should study carefully to find which of the homes is best suited your needs.You should also check the features which are present in each of them and what options they have available.
It is now time to visit the various dealerships to tour the units which seem best fitted to your requirements. The dealer can give you price quotations on the homes you are most interested in. Be sure to tell him that you are not buying immediately but are shopping around for the best deal you can get. You should then get a good competitive quotation and after narrowing the field down tp just one or two models the time has come for some hard negotiation to get the best possible price.
As in buying a car every item is negotiable.The final price, financing and interest rates, the down payment to be made, the options which will be included etc. Nothing is ever set in stone and non negotiable. Never make a snap decision, and make as many calls or visits to the dealership as is necessary to get a final price which is satisfactory to you.

Just two days after the rig explosion, Mix emailed a projection to a supervisor estimating the runaway well could be leaking from 62,000 barrels per day to 146,000 barrels per day. Two days later, BP executives told the Coast Guard their best estimate for the leak was 1,000 barrels per day. A federal scientific group concluded after the well was capped that the flow was 62,000 barrels per day at the beginning of the disaster.

The first postseason in Freedom softball history has been extended. First by the weather, and now by some timely offense.
Caroline Whiteside's bases-loaded walk in the second stood up as the winning RBI for the Patriots, who struck early and held on for a 4-2 win against reigning state champ Chamberlain (21-8) in the Class 7A region semifinals.
The contest, which began Tuesday evening, concluded Thursday afternoon after previously being stopped twice by rain and lightning. The Patriots (20-3) travel to Sarasota for Saturday's 2 p.m. region final.
"We are definitely super excited," Patriots coach Autum Hernandez said. "Chamberlain's a great team, they have a great tradition, they played us great all three days. We were just excited to be able to pull that off."
The first postponement came Tuesday at the end of the first inning, but not before Katlin Hall hit a two-out home run to left-center. When action resumed Wednesday, Whiteside drew her walk to put Freedom ahead, 3-0.
"Getting on the board in the first inning against Chamberlain, that was huge for us," Hernandez said.
Chamberlain added two runs in the third before action was stopped again. On Thursday, No. 9 hitter Rachel Carlson provided a sixth-inning insurance run with a double that scored Ashley Wilson, who also had doubled.
Bradenton Bayshore 8, Blake 7: The weather delays that stretched this 5A region semifinal over three days not only snatched Blake's momentum, but a shot at the program's first region final berth.
Bayshore rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh to end the Yellow Jackets' improbable playoff run. The Jackets (12-11) scored six first-inning runs when the game started Tuesday evening.
Thursday afternoon, they loaded the bases twice — in the fourth and sixth — but failed to score.
"I think if we would've played them solid on one day, we would've beaten them," Jackets coach Jean Smith. "But it was just one of those dogfights and unfortunately it didn't work out the way we wanted."
Trailing 7-6, Bayshore's Marina Clark led off the seventh with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt, and scored on Taylor Izatt's suicide squeeze. Kassidy Clifford's ensuing grounder was misplayed, allowing Izatt to score.

In high school located in a modern-day Southern California neighborhood, Brendan Frye's piercing intelligence spares no one. Brendan is not afraid to back up his words with actions, and knows all the angles; yet he prefers to stay an outsider, and does--until the day that his ex-girlfriend, Emily, reaches out to him unexpectedly and then vanishes. Brendan's feelings for her still run deep; so much so, that he becomes consumed with finding his troubled inamorata. To find her, Brendan enlists the aid of his only true peer, The Brain, while keeping the assistant vice principal only occasionally informed of what quickly becomes a dangerous investigation. Brendan's single-minded unearthing of students' secrets thrusts him headlong into the colliding social orbits of rich-girl sophisticate Laura, intimidating Tugger, substance-abusing Dode, seductive Kara, jock Brad and--most ominously--non-student The Pin. It is only by gaining acceptance into The Pin's closely guarded inner circle of crime and punishment that Brendan will be able to uncover hard truths about himself, Emily and the suspects to whom he is getting closer.

PITTSBURGH -- The strongest indication of how badly the Steelers wanted rookie Le'Veon Bell to seize the job of feature back and run with it came this morning when the team traded for Felix Jones.
The Steelers were clearly not comfortable with Isaac Redman or Jonathan Dwyer -- or a combination of the two -- handling the bulk of the carries while Bell is sidelined with a mid-foot sprain.
Enter Jones, who underachieved in Dallas for five seasons before signing with Philadelphia in the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.
Jones showed flashes in Dallas but the 5-foot-10, 215-pounder never became the kind of back the Cowboys envisioned when they took him with the 22nd pick of the 2008 NFL draft -- one selection ahead of former Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall.
Jones never had a 1,000-yard season with the Cowboys, and his best year came in 2010 when he rushed for 800 yards on 185 carries. DeMarco Murray's emergence made Jones expendable, and the former Arkansas star apparently didn't fit into the Eagles' plans either.
Jones has the kind of speed that neither Redman nor Dwyer possesses. The Steelers could pair him with one of those two power backs to anchor the running game until Bell returns.
For all of the optimism coach Mike Tomlin expressed about the progress Bell has already made the reality is that the former Michigan State could be sidelined for a significant part of the regular season.
The Steelers will err on the side of caution when it comes to Bell, their second-round pick last April, and he will presumably be eased back into action even after he is cleared to return.
It is certainly worth the Steelers taking a long look at Jones, especially since they didn't give up much to get him. Outside linebacker Adrian Robinson appeared in 12 games last season after making the team as an undrafted free agent and played on special teams.
Robinson was not a lock to make the 53-man roster this year so the Steelers don't lose much even if Jones doesn't contribute much or even stick with the team.

Southern Police accepts IPCA findings into historic crash
Southern Police accepts IPCA findings into historic crash
Southern District Police accepts the findings of an IPCA report on its investigations into a vehicle crash involving a former police officer and a civilian that occurred nine years ago on a rural road near Alexandra.
The report relates to a collision involving a police utility driven by former senior constable, Neil Ford, and a car driven by 17-year-old Shane Cribb on 14 July 2005 on Earnscleugh Road, Central Otago.
The IPCA found that there were multiple failings in the way the crash scene was initially managed by Police and in its ongoing investigations, which enabled the criminal conduct of two former police officers to go undetected. However, the authority found no evidence of a conspiracy among officers overseeing the investigation.
Southern District Commander Superintendent Andrew Coster says police acknowledge that there were several levels of failure at the time in the way the crash was initially managed and during the investigations that followed, which led to the wrongful conviction of Mr Cribb.
"The Police failures led to serious consequences for Mr Cribb, who was wrongly blamed and then convicted for causing the crash. Police let Mr Cribb down badly, and to go some way to resolving this, we have apologised to him and provided compensation.
"Police accept that without the persistence of those members of the public who supported Mr Cribb, Police would not have reinvestigated the case to uncover the truth about how the crash occurred.
"We also acknowledge that a number of poor decisions were made and that there was inadequate supervision and leadership in relation to this event. This was further compounded by an unacceptable lack of action over time," Superintendent Coster said. "It goes without saying that staff involved could have done many things better, and lessons have been learnt since then."
However, he says the events occurred nine years ago and there have been many changes in local policing since that time.
"Police staff in the community where this incident occurred have worked hard to repair and strengthen relationships. Today, nine years later, we have many excellent and dedicated staff based in Alexandra who serve their community every day with professionalism and integrity."
The Authority also noted that Police has improved its supervision and peer review processes since the incident.

The office, located at 39 Olcott Square, is participating in the Somerset region's Horse Play in the Hills fundraiser, with proceed s from their portion of the fundraiser going to Gilda's Club, a cancer support organization. The office raised money to have Hoboken artist Serena Bocchinno decorate a life-size fiberglass model of a thoroughbred horse, named Blue Note. The horse, which is decorated in an abstract style depicting jazz music, is being displayed in front of the office through November 1. It will be auctioned later, during a fundraiser at Merck Pharmaceuticals headquarters in Whitehouse Station, on November 9. A preview of the horse, along with other horses available during the auction, will be held prior to the fundraiser. Proceeds from the sale of Blue Note will be presented to Gilda's Club.
"We are always looking for ways to give back to the community, and we proudly support Gilda's Club, which provides an unparalleled level of support to people living with cancer," said Kathy Ullman, manager of the office.
Gilda's Club is a support center where people with cancer and their families and friends can join with others to build social and emotional support, as a supplement to medical care. Anyone who is living with cancer can take classes at the club, such as yoga and painting, or simply talk with staff or family members in one of the comfortable meeting rooms.
"What strikes you the most about Gilda's Club the first time you visit is how comfortable the facility makes you feel," said Ullman. "You immediately feel at home, thanks to the friendly staff members and warm decor, which is important f or visitors to the club."
Horse Play in the Hills is a concept similar to the Cow Parade fundraisers held in the New York Metro area, which auctioned off sculptures of cows in support of charities.

Santiago Journal; Graves Without a Name Yielding Their Secrets
By NATHANIEL C. NASH,
Published: September 19, 1991
SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 13— They were buried, unidentified, in a remote corner of this capital city's sprawling General Cemetery. And now, under court order, the Chilean Government is exhuming and trying to identify the remains of more than 120 people who died in 1973 in the first three months of military rule by Gen. Augusto Pinochet.
While other common graves and clandestine cemeteries have been found and excavated in the last 18 months, the number of unidentified bodies in Yard No. 29 is by far the largest.
The court's decision to order the exhumations represents one of the few times that relatives have been able to use the Chilean legal system to determine the whereabouts of family members who have vanished and to recover their remains.
The opening of the mass grave again focuses attention and promises to provide details on the summary executions that took place after the coup. A report issued by a special commission in March documented that more than 2,000 people were abducted and killed by the Pinochet forces. The bodies of more than 900 have never been found.
"We all have the sense of profound pain," said Rosemarie Bornand, a lawyer for the human rights branch of Chile's Roman Catholic Church. "The families of the missing cannot be appeased until they know what happened to their loved ones. This gives us hope that some will know." Pinochet's Long Rule
General Pinochet ruled Chile from September 1973, when he overthrew the elected Marxist Government of President Salvador Allende Gossens, until March 1990. Since stepping down, he has offended many here by references to the exhumation that many of his critics condemn as callous.
When it was mentioned to him recently that most of the crudely built coffins contain two bodies, he replied, "What a great saving." And when informed that the digging had uncovered the remains of Juan Bautista van Schouwen, the founder of a radical party, the Revolutionary Movement of the Left, the general said, "I congratulate the diggers."
The statements heightened tensions between the Chilean Army, of which General Pinochet is still Commander in Chief, and the elected Government of President Patricio Aylwin.
"The Government is shocked by the cruel remarks of General Pinochet," Enrique Correa, the Government's chief spokesman, said. "These cruel remarks offend the feelings of the relatives and of the country as a whole."
All the sets of remains recovered have bullet holes in skulls and clothing. Many arms and legs have been broken, implying torture. One victim was shot 35 times.
Though General Pinochet has recently said he was not aware of the large number of "disappeared persons," as these victims are referred to in this country and elsewhere in Latin America, family members still place most of the blame on him.
"He wants you to believe he is a fine man, a good guy, while we all know he was the No. 1 assassin in the country," said Sola Sierra, president of an association of families of those missing or arrested.
Daily, family members -- almost all women -- come to the cemetery. They weave dozens of carnations into the fence put up to keep the public away from the digging site, and hold quiet vigils. Many say they have been searching for almost 18 years.
What is extraordinary is that the digging has been going on at all. Under an amnesty law approved during General Pinochet's rule, which the Aylwin Government accepted as a condition for the general's turnover of power, violations of human rights between 1973 and 1978 cannot be prosecuted. Those were days of internal warfare, so the logic goes, times when abuses were inevitable and should be forgotten.
Yard No. 29, where black crosses over the graves bear the initials N. N. -- no name -- had been known for years as a place where unidentified victims of the coup were buried.
In 1978, the church human rights group tried to persuade a court to authorize digging, but a military tribunal ruled that such a matter was beyond the court's jurisdiction. Getting Hard Information
A year ago, however, after President Aylwin took power, the Interior Minister began investigating. The first step was to get autopsy information from the cemetery, especially fingerprints.
Those were matched with fingerprint records from the country's Civil Registration Office. This was a delicate maneuver because, Government officials say, that agency had so many Pinochet loyalists that there were only 14 employees considered trustworthy for the task.
At the same time, the church used a legal technicality to win a court order. It asserted that the corpses were interred illegally, as many graves contained more than one corpse. Based on that, Judge Andres Contreras ordered the graves opened.
"I only investigate if the people have been buried illegally," Judge Contreras said, admitting that he found himself in the middle of a volatile political struggle.
"When it becomes an issue of who killed them," he said, "then I have nothing to do with the case. I don't want to get in the middle of that."

HIV and AIDS
Ask HIV and AIDS Experts. Get Answers to Your HIV and AIDS Questions
Doc, told you I tested neg using the FDA approved oral rapid HIV test after 4+ months from last exposure....still have oral thrush (3 days of magic mouth wash no affect)...
#1 any suggestions?
#2 they say test accuracy is 99.8% for negative results and the error comes in for folks under the 3 months from last exposure...sound right to you?
#1 your doctor can prescribe oral diflucan.
2.yes, that is correct.
best of luck!
dr. sciberras
Dear Doctor Sciberras,
Very sorry for bothering you again, but it seems events are not allowing me to put this issue to rest. I am losing sleep over something my Primary Care physician told me last Thurs. I had blood drawn on last week and the test ordered was the RNA PCR test, early detection of antobodies since I thought I was going through ARS. Next day Friday, GF tested neg.....so, now I thought I had advanced HIV or AIDS due to case of Thrush and other symptoms I have gotten over past month. I went in Sat and had FDA approved OralQuick Rapid HIV 1 & 2 test......I told you my reults were negative.....I looked at calendar and it was 22 weeks plus a day or two since my last possible exposure from old GF. And we were not that active last month or two of our relationship.
Everything I read says Thrush is good indicator of HIV or AIDS in adults.
Here are my questions:
1. Have you ever dealt with patients who had symptoms of HIV (Thrush etc) and were HIV negative?
2. If my Thrush was caused by HIV or AIDS wouldn't the test have been positive at 5 months?
3. The lab has had my blood for 3 days now, wouldn't they be able to run the RNA PCR test by now? my Dr's words keep echoing in my head...the longer it takes to get results, the worse it maybe..
4. Finally, would you consider 5 month HIV test being negaitive, a definitive answer that a person is HIV free?
Again, I am sorry for coming back to you, but have lost sleep last few days over these lingering issues.
thank you
1. yes there are plenty of cases of thrush that are not hiv related. i see it all the time,
2. your test would have been positive by then yes.
3. the RNA PCR takes 2 weeks to run, it is a very comples test.
4. yes, negative antibody at 5months means hiv-free. there is no need to worry.
i am still on vacation so please be patient with my replies, i am not always near an internet cafe.
OK Doctor, I lied, one more paranoid question
Since I started symtoms four months after last exposure, is it possible it is/was delayed ARS and this would throw off my 5 month HIV test with false-neg since antibodies may not have devolped at 5 month point? last one I promise
No not possible.
Dr. S.
Most important question I never asked....have you in your professional life known of any cases where individual seroconverted after 5 months other than the HCWs who had needle stick injury and were co-infected with HCV and HIV (AIDs patients)?
Dr. S.,
Education questions:
Regardless of Symptoms before or after a 90 day HIV antibody test (FDA approved Oral Quick HIV 1 & 2 Test), a negative test at 90 days would be conclusive a person is HIV negative? Correct?
Thank you once again!
Yes, a negative test at 90 days is conclusive and means you are HIV negative.
I would try and seek professional help for your anxiety relating to this matter, as I can see it still continues to bother you greatly.
Dr. Sciberras
Lab screwed up my RNA PCR test..not enough sample to test after they did all the other tests...well it was 5 months after last exposure anyways, so not the best test anyways..so I went and got another OralQuick Rapid HIV test 1 & 2 (FDA test)...it was negative at day 165......question, no matter what my risk may have been,
I would have shown up at 90 days regardless of RISK on test if I was pos, right? this should end for me

Just a small clue that might help. In my search in Allegheny
County, I have come across an Aaron Highgate in the 1820 census
in Pine Township. Unfortunately only Aaron is shown as
"head of household" but no entries are given in the age groups.
Best of luck.

Stupid hippie environmentalists... The electricity in Greenpeace offices are powered by dirty energy, as are their computers and the ISP that they use to check their email and send out these stupid, hollier than thou reports with! And I doubt they all ride their bikes to work in their pressed suits.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Yes, the could invent the iCar that runs on iGas and make the iPlant that spits out iLectricity...
But then we'd have to call it Green Apple.
And nobody likes them apples.
Greenpeace is a pimple on the anus of the whole environmental (bowel) movement.
Waaaaa waaaaa Apple isn't being earth friendly or whatever. Go cry about something else and go hug some trees.
So to make greeenpeace happy lets all stop sending emails and SMSs and start sending letters made out of paper so more trees will be needed to get cut down to support the overwhelming amount of messages we send each other.
If there is something really stupid to protest about you can bet greenpeace is behind it.
honestly, WHO GIVES A DAMN. greenpeace, stfu & gtfo
Well if that's how green peace feel then we should help them!!!! Yes instead of burning coal we should burn green peace!!

President Obama's closely watched budget proposal for 2012 is being delayed by more than a week until mid-February -- because of two other delays:
While all this means a waiting game for Obama's budget, the more important issue is -- what will be in it. Obama talked last week about new investments in education, innovation, and research and development.
But Republicans, led by incoming House speaker John Boehner, want to cut spending. And Obama's own bipartisan fiscal commission has recommended that attention turn to deficit and debt reduction, which could mean cuts in programs and benefits as well as higher taxes.
Watch this space early next year for budget news. And keep your checkbooks balanced.

WHEN a village fete committee decided to budget for this year's summer gathering because of the recession, few in the community realised how far they'd go.
Keen to keep costs down, the committee has ditched the bunting this year and will be lining the streets of Langton Herring with... pairs of pants.
What started as a joke at a meeting has turned into reality with assorted piles of underwear strung up on string to decorate the village in the run-up to the fete on Saturday.
Committee members admitted there were a few raised eyebrows at first. But villagers have now taken the idea to heart and have inundated the organisers with their undies.
It's all part of keeping with a credit crunch theme for this year's fete, which incorporates a dog show.
Committee member Amanda King suggested the pants as a bunting idea as a joke at a committee meeting after hearing bunting used at previous events had broken or perished and there wasn't enough money to buy replacement material.
To her surprise, the committee liked the idea and chairman Anne Kerins even volunteered her home as an official 'pants collection point.' It was hoped to decorate the streets around the village green where the fete will be held. But so many pairs have turned up that underwear looks set to dangle over other streets too.
"Ann has run with the idea and the village has been very supportive. We even hope to have some holy pants from the vicar," Amanda said.
She added: "The credit crunch is the theme for our fete this year. We're keeping all the prices as low as possible and will be selling credit crunch biscuits which are delicious and cheap and also don't cost the Earth to make.
"In the current economic climate we appreciate the impact it can have on people, particularly young families.
"I think visitors to our fete who see the pants will take it in the way that it's meant – a bit of fun. Hopefully, it will make them smile and I think these days we all need something to smile about."
Anne Kerins said: "We all thought that life is a bit of pants these days so how appropriate to fly pants instead of bunting. It's given people a bit of a chuckle although I don't think everyone approves.
"We must have over 100 pairs. People have been very generous."
She said the aim was to make the fete as affordable as possible with no charges for parking or admission. The village fete and dog show on the village green will be opened on Saturday by the vicar, the Rev Ada Whittock, at 12.30pm (dog registration is from 11.30am). Town crier Doris Eastwood will also be on hand.
Entertainment will be provided by Brass Tacks concert band and there will be displays by the majorettes and police dogs (subject to availability). There will be plenty to keep the children occupied including the toss the wellie and splat the rat games, and Captain Stupid will be adding some madness and mayhem.
There will also be stalls selling books, plants bric-a-brac and local produce, skittles, a barbecue, Pimm's tent, and a beer tent. Proceeds will be divided between the village hall and St Peter's Church.

Morning! java-oh wow, that is too bad about the yoga studio, especially since its so much work to get a new business off the ground. that is great she has a new plan though, hopefully it works out! new carpet will be great. how is winston doing?mia-i drive to the gym and then run from there/get ready before work. even though i only live 4.5 miles from work, it takes over 20 minutes to drive during rush hour (so dumb). i beat the rush at 6 am when there is no traffic, then only have to drive a mile from the gym to my parking lot and saves me a lot of time. saw mtn pics on fb, that looked awesome! seattle-glad you are feeling better. yay for finally being in the house! is dbf living there alone?RR: 6 rainy miles this morning, just light rain, so not uncomfortable. stretched and foam rolled a lot afterward. NRR: nothing too much going on, catching up on tv with dbf tonight since its raining probably. glad its already thursday. seem to be having some phantom girl issues, stomach is cramping as is my back, but no show for a real ttom. FR: need groceries, but kind of avoiding it...bc its raining. haha. i'm sure i can find something in the freezer....
RR: Probably taking a break today, it's another rainy day and thunderstorms are rolling through.
NRR: beautiful day yesterday up on the mountain. Down at home it was cloudy, gray and overcast. Woken up by boomers this morning. Orderd a couple of pair of jeans from Eddie Bauer, thought I needed to go up a size but they are swimming on me, so now I have to deal with returning them. Oh well, feel better that I haven't gained that much weight, I'm just feeling it. Think I may hit up an Eddie Bauer store today and see if I can exchange there.
FR: Make some gnocchi primavera for dinner last night. Pretty good. DD came over and ate with me, she has been at her dog sitting/ house sitting gig. I did get some ice cream yesterday and it kind a won last night.
Seattle: Ugh sorry about you being sick! Not fun! Did you still do Whole30 while sick? Cool that DBF is all moved into the house. I bet it looks great.
SJP: I am having the same thing going on, keep having monthly symptoms but then a no show. I was attributing it to my age. It's really annoying.
RR- Rest day today, will probably do 3 or 4 over lunch tomorrow. My lungs are still not feeling perky but definitely better than they have been for the last week and a half or so!
NRR - Had a nice relaxing night with DBF yesterday, just watched Mean Girls and fell asleep early. Woke up to a thunder and lightning storm this morning, which was kinda cool - we've been having some crazy bipolar weather lately. Cooking dinner for my mom and my brother tonight, so that should be fun - it's a great day to stay cozy in the kitchen it looks like!
FR - Making bacon wrapped dates, parmesan sage pork chops and roasted potatoes and veggies for dinner, hope it turns out well!
sjp - DBF is living there alone at the moment (HOORAY HOORAY!!!) and I will probably move in sometime in the next few months or so I hate the phantom girl issues... hope they go away soon! Sounds like we are cozy rainy day twins today!
Mia - I mostly did Whole30 while I was sick, which wasn't too bad because I didn't have much of an appetite and didn't want to eat much of anything anyways! I hadn't been sick like that in over a year, ugh. Mmm, gnocchi sounds so delicious! And perfect after a day of hiking/being outdoors. Sometimes I feel like the best part of that is coming home to a hot shower, big meal and a cold beer!

Willie Randolph said it was good to get the first workout of the spring out of the way. Of course, he was asked if anybody stood out, which is the traditional dumb question. Afterall, who stands out playing catch?
Randolph spoke to the young guys about not overthrowing trying to make a good first impression.
Among other things, Randolph said:
* He doesn't plan on naming a captain, but said if his team were to take a vote it would be Tom Glavine. "He knows how to lead," he said.
* He was glad to see David Wright and Jose Reyes show up early. "They are part of the core foundation of our team," Randolph said. "It's nice they not have to be told what to do."
* The team didn't have an interest in Bernie Williams. "He's a free agent," he said. "He has a decision to make. I hope it works out."

Smart digital investment transforms local economies
23 July 2014
For immediate release
Smart digital investment transforms local economies
Digital investment can have a significant impact on a community, but funds need to be used in a targeted way through smart investment to deliver economic results.
Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) held an in-depth master class session on how local economies are transformed by smart digital investment, as part of its conference at Nelson.
The session highlighted the way in which investment in digital infrastructure can stimulate economic growth and enhance community life.
Speakers included Wellington City Council Chief Executive Dr Kevin Lavery, Intergen Chief Technology Officer Chris Auld and Whangarei District Council Mayor Sheryl Mai, with Crown Fibre Holdings Stakeholder Relations Manager Anna Verboeket joining the panel discussion.
The master class session covered case studies from international and New Zealand examples including the experience of Wellington City and Whangarei District.
"Smart digital investment is not just 'pipes and boxes' but also inspiration that propels cities, towns and regions into the new digital age," LGNZ President Lawrence Yule says.
"The discussion at the master class helped participants to understand the potential of the digital revolution to improve services and outcomes for communities, with a panel discussion that captured issues and ideas for future consideration."
At the session, participants discussed how smart digital investment is about transforming the whole economy and it is also about local leadership doing something extraordinary with the new technology available.
"Putting in the infrastructure is only the beginning," Mr Yule says. "The community needs to be made aware of the potential and how they can utilise infrastructure for better economic outcomes such as businesses utilising cloud technology to its potential, exporting knowledge and ideas to market, and improving the utilisation of data by building data skills and culture."
The session was kindly sponsored by Microsoft.
The 2014 LGNZ Conference took place 20-22 July at Nelson, with more than 550 local government delegates attending to take part in master class sessions, hear presentations from high profile speakers about significant issues and opportunities facing the sector. The theme of the conference was Powering Local Economies, Building Vibrant Communities.
