7 Reasons to Love Living in Calgary, Alberta
Calgary has definitely earned its spot as one of the best places to live in the world for five consecutive years in a row (2010-2014), according to the Economist Magazine's Liveability Survey. It's true; Calgary has lots to offer its residents and more than ever before as the city continues to grow at an astounding rate.
There are many quality characteristics Calgary has that set it apart from the rest, making it an easy choice for people to call it their home. Here are seven of those:
Economically Strong
Calgary is one of Canada's Economic Strengths. Over the past decade, the city has remained as one of the best, if not THE best performing urban centres in Canada and is expected to continue to do so for a while yet.
One of the main driving forces behind the strong economy is the large number of major corporations who have chosen to set up their office headquarters in Calgary. The city has the highest concentration of head offices per capita in Canada, which has given way to countless job opportunities in a wide diversity of industries.
Calgary also has the second lowest unemployment rate, sitting at 4.5% in February 2013. And with a predicted employment growth in Alberta's oil sands from 75,000 to more than 900,000 jobs over the next 25 years, there will be lots of opportunity to go around. What's not to love about that?!
Heart of the West
Calgary is becoming a major hub of tourism in Western Canada. Calgary saw the best Tourism Growth in Canada in 2012, where visitors spent a staggering $1.4 billion dollars on activities, events, restaurants, hotels, shops and more. As a matter of fact, in 2012 there were 12.8 million passengers who traveled to or from Calgary's YYC international airport!
Calgary's lovable location less than an hour from the Rocky Mountains makes it a hot spot not only for travelers, but for people looking to stay for the long-term as well. Having the ability to experience some of the best outdoor recreation around is hard to look past for those who love the mountains and what they have to offer.
Beautiful National Parks
Calgary is in very close proximity to multiple Canadian National Parks where you will discover majestic scenery, beautiful wildlife and countless opportunities for some outdoor fun. It doesn't take long to hit the slopes from the city limits of Calgary as there are more than five world-class ski resorts located less than 3 hours away.
In the summer; hiking, biking, rock climbing, camping and fishing are but only a few of the outdoor activities in Banff National Park, Glacier National Park, Jasper National Park and Kananaskis Country, as well as countless other wildlife reserves and natural areas.
Calgary is the ultimate gateway to the Rocky Mountains and beyond where the spoils of a spectacular Western Canadian coast await.
Great Weather
Did you know that Calgary has the most days of sunshine per year out of all the major Canadian cities? A 30 year study done by Environment Canada shows that Calgary received on average 2405 hours of bright sunshine over 333 days. Now that's a lot of sun!
Apart from tons of sunshine, Calgary's is located in a prime spot for experiencing a weather phenomenon called Chinooks that have the ability to warm up a cold winter's day by several degrees Celsius. Spring in the middle of winter? Yes please!
On the other hand, Calgary can get very cold, even down to minus 40 degrees Celsius if unlucky, but since humidity is low there isn't much "sting" from the cold winter wind in comparison to other more humid places such as Toronto.
Urban Meets Nature
Urban living meets nature seamlessly in the City of Calgary. Its network of river parks and pathways is one of its most acclaimed characteristics, spanning along the Bow and Elbow River embankments to the furthest reaches of the city.
Calgary is proud to boast the most extensive network of paved pathways found in an urban centre in North America with over 700km of paved pathways, and with over 42km of these pathways cleared during winter, they are great for year round use.
Let's not forget about how many open green spaces, parks and interconnecting pathway areas we have here in Calgary. Calgary Parks take care of more than 7500 hectares of land at more than 3400 sites. This is an astounding number of green spaces to be found in an urban centre! Just another beneficial feature of the City of Calgary that makes it hard not to love living here!
Just when you think it's too cold to walk around downtown, think again! Ingenuity has given way to the +15 network in downtown Calgary, the largest indoor walkway system in the world! Hustle and bustle in downtown carries on fluently through the use of the +15's that connect adjacent buildings. Stay warm in the winter and stay inside!
Calgary's continued population growth has led government to build more key infrastructure needed in the city. The Stoney Trail ring road and the new West LRT are a few examples while LRT stations, parks and pathways are always well-kept and in some instances completely renovated, just like Prince's Island Park and Bowness Park, where complete overhauls were done to improve the parks accessibility and features.
Consistent infrastructure improvements will only make Calgary more and more appealing to live in as the years pass, that's for sure!
Culturally Rich and Diverse
One of the best things about Calgary is how culturally rich and diverse its population is. It is the Cultural Capital of Canada, with approximately 25% of Calgarians being foreign born! These are the people that have brought their culture and traditions with them and can be accredited with the large diversity of delicious foods, fun cultural activities and events found in the city.
While foreign culture is in abundance, so is our own home grown western culture. Look at the Calgary Stampede for example, an annual event that celebrates and commemorates our western heritage. It is just one of many fun and exciting things to do every year in Calgary that contribute to an enjoyable living experience filled with tons of local fun and happiness. Yeeee-haw!
Why do you love living in Calgary? Please leave us a comment below and let us know! Here are 20 Reasons Why I Love Calgary!
Thanks for stopping in at Best Calgary Homes, hope to have you back soon for more Calgary and everything to do with! Until then, be sure to check out our Do What the Locals Do in Calgary for more great local activities and events!

Why UK banks are appointing more US firms to their rosters
Barclays and HSBC have something in common: they both introduced sub-panels of US firms in their latest big legal adviser reviews. Barclays added Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Shearman & Sterling and Sullivan & Cromwell to its general advisory panel, while HSBC gave new places to Cleary, Latham & Watkins and Mayer Brown on its global roster.
White & Case, meanwhile, is the only firm to emerge so far as a successful applicant for re-admission to the Deutsche Bank worldwide panel.
Some partners at UK firms deny there is a shift towards US rivals winning places on financial institutions' panels, but the latest reviews suggest big clearing banks are turning to the London arms of US firms more and more.
One factor is the volume of assets Barclays has in the US, where it bought Lehman Brothers' core business following the latter's collapses. HSBC, similarly, has a sizeable US business.
Second, there is increased interest in the bond markets from clearers. The high-yield bond market is in the hands of the magic circle and US firms.
Third, the US firms' push to expand and recruit partners – and their client relationships – in London could now be paying off, with the trend continuing: Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy and Shearman & Sterling have all hired finance partners laterally in the City since May.
Finally, the relative quietness of investment banks has forced US firms to lobby for places on clearing banks' panels, despite the fact that these traditionally produce smaller deals, with poorer fee potential. The likes of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group and RBS give fees far lower than those required by US firms who feed off Citibank and JP Morgan.
RBS is set to conclude its panel review shortly, while Lloyds is also assessing its roster options. Expect one or both of the banking juggernauts to unveil a greater number of US firms on their panels than in previous rounds.

Hi! In my opinion, you can try to change the shape of the handle. Also, try to establish a visual connection between the handle and the magnifier. Greetings!
Type looks stretched vertically/shorten horizontally(could be wrong) Try a different typeface
And I think it should be 'Slogan goes here' and not 'does' here

Di Canio: Win is for volunteers
Paolo Di Canio thanked the Swindon supporters who helped to clear snow from the County Ground pitch on Saturday.
Last Updated: 19/01/13 6:58pm
Paolo Di Canio thanked the Swindon supporters who helped to clear snow from the County Ground pitch on Saturday.
Di Canio worked until midnight on Friday with 200 fans who gave up their evening to ensure the match went ahead.
The Italian ordered pizzas to feed the volunteers and was rewarded with Swindon's fourth successive home win, 2-0 against Shrewsbury in League One.
After a lifeless first half, the hosts scored twice soon after the break with a penalty from Chris Martin and another goal from Andy Williams four minutes later.
Disappointing Shrewsbury offered little as an attacking force but missed a penalty in the 83rd minute after Alan McCormack had fouled Jon Taylor.
"It was emotional to see kids and their dads helping on a cold night and for what they have done I am thankful," said Town boss Di Canio.
"It was incredible what those supporters did for us but it shows the common feeling. They wanted to come to the game and they wanted us to win. The fact that we won is a present to them."
He added: "This was our worst performance since we lost in the FA Cup to Macclesfield.
"At half-time I said to the players you will be at the training ground on Sunday morning at five o'clock, and they improved straight away.
"We have to keep working hard to stay near the top of the table, but to be in third place is no accident."

Past Reviews
Off Broadway Reviews
It is, after all, about the constant warring between corporations who want to control everyone, a government that wants to control everyone, and innocent souls caught in the middle. Every act unleashed by any power player is always determined by how it benefits them first, with all others affected considered later (if they're lucky). Occurrences in this so-called world are so politicized, in fact, that much of the first act focuses on the exact impact a wedding will have on the two warring factionslove is only called into question once all other matters are settled.
Should this sound Shakespearean, that's no accident. Composer-lyricist Matt Sax and librettist-lyricist-director Eric Rosen originally conceived the show as a rigorous updating of Othello. But if vestiges of that concept remaina love triangle, a handful of undertones driving some characters, some Iago-like wheeling and dealing, and a woman named EmiliaSax and Rosen have upended the original into unrecognizability. And they've done so with such verve and commitment that not a shred of anything left could be considered dated or boring.
The complex, often violent, interplay between the central figures is as delightfully acidic as what you'd find in the tartest prime-time soap operas. Theodore Westbrook (Jonathan-David) is heir to his father's tentacular business, which rose in influence after an uprising 20 years ago crippled the government and is now in charge of the city of Venice's military occupation. The appropriately named Venice Monroe (Haaz Sleiman), a white man who grew up in the ravaged metropolis, wants to overthrow Westbrook Enterprises and return the city to the control of the people. His black half-brother, Markos (Leslie Odom, Jr.), is a high-placed peacekeeping general within his own designs on rule. And Willow Turner (Jennifer Damiano), the one-time friend of Venice who's still in love with him, is now engaged to Theodore.
A few others factor in as wellMichael Victor (Claybourne Elder) is Venice's repressed chief of staff and longtime friend, Emilia (Victoria Platt) is Markos's wife and the daughter of Willow's parents' servants, and Hailey Daisy (Angela Polk) is a pulpy chanteuse whose strings are pulled by the military occupiersbut the chief conflict is how the members of the foundational quartet address, and perhaps exorcise, the ghosts of their pasts. Most of these are figurative, as the choices of their elders loom large over their troubled presents, but Venice and Markos's peace-minded mother Anna appears from the grave (in the person of Uzo Aduba) to echo concerns to her sons of the ideals both have, in their own ways, abandoned.
Rosen's smooth staging, which adroitly balances the swooping sweep of change with the intimacy of the quieter scenes, further ensures you don't get lost as you follow the group on their journey. Beowulf Boritt's industrial unit set, Clint Ramos's riches-meet-rags costumes, Jason Lyons's lights, and Jason H. Thompson's projections are rarely much more than standard rock-concert issue, but they're always in tune with their surroundings. (Chase Brock's heavily angular, music-video choreography, is somewhat better than that, especially in the violent group numbers that dissect cultural opinion about events as they unfold.)
The cast is full of performers possessing the lithe bodies, fearless voices, and fiery attitudes the material demands. Sleiman is particularly magnetic as the titular reluctant rebel, convincing you he's been drawn into a fight he would not have chosen on his own. But Odom (most recently seen in the just-wrapped TV series Smash) is nearly his equal as the scheming Markos, always layering his sneer with a smile, and Damiano is an alluring embodiment of the freedom aesthetic given feminine form. Though everyone else is up to the challenge, too, special mention should be made of Sax, who's secured for himself the largestyet least-importantrole, of the spunky-cynical narrator Clown MC, who presides over the action with the swiveling hips and cocked eyebrows of history not approving of the judgment it has to make.
For all of Venice's ambitious scope and intrigue, it must be noted that the musical never quite lives up to the theatricality or the storytelling gusto of its opening number. An electric 15-minute prologue that reads the rules, sets up the board, and arranges all the pieces at the speed of light, it promises an airtight evening of searing drama, killer music, and whiplash-inducing surprises that emerges only in fits and starts thereafter. The middle sections of both acts also get mired in the details of their plot machinations, with an overly maudlin ending that's a bit of a stretch given all that comes before.
What's both inescapable and irresistible is the urgency that courses through the show's veins. Sax and Rosen have captured the piercing spirit of all who fight for real, lasting freedom, and struggle against their worst selves to improve the lives around them. This makes Venice a jolting, contemporary reminder that the most important of life's battles must be continuously fought. But if the show in its current form proves that Sax and Rosen don't win every skirmish they initiate, their creation leaves no doubt that they're already on the winning side.

Company buys Irwin Jacobs' non-marine businessPosted on
Liquidity Services, which provides online marketplaces for surplus assets, announced it is acquiring the consumer goods remarketing business of Jacobs Trading Co., owned by Irwin Jacobs.
Liquidity Services is paying $140 million, plus potential performance-based consideration, for the company. The purchase will be financed with a combination of cash, a seller note and Liquidity Services common stock, the company announced.
It is expected to close in the first quarter of Liquidity Services 2012 fiscal year.
The acquisition of Jacobs Trading is perfectly aligned with our strategy of creating a diversified $1 billion growth business and further penetrating the $60 billion U.S. retail market opportunity for our services. We believe that Jacobs Trading is a natural complement to our organization and a winning proposition for Liquidity Services and Jacobs Tradings growing network of Fortune 500 clients and buying customers, Bill Angrick, chairman and CEO of Liquidity Services, said in a statement.

LA PUENTE - Bishop Amat High School, despite its slow start, has held the belief it's still a very good baseball team.
The Lancers are beginning to live up to that billing.
Adam Alcantara had the game-tying RBI and Daryl Daniels scored the winning run in the seventh on a throwing error and Bishop Amat rallied for a 5-4 victory over visiting Alemany in a nonleague game Wednesday.
The Lancers scored their second consecutive win to improve to 3-5. Ruben Cardenas had three hits for Alemany, now 7-3.
"When you play the teams we've played, the margin for error lessens," said Bishop Amat coach Andy Nieto, whose Lancers have faced arguably one of the toughest schedules in Southern California. "You have to play a baseball game as clean as possible and that's what we were suffering. We weren't able to finish the fight, finish the game.
"But these guys rally around each other. They were up, they weren't going to be frontrunners. Win or lose, they were going to take their best swings. That's an Amat trademark."
The Lancers, who fell behind 4-0 in the sixth, made it 4-3 in their half of the sixth and then tied it at 4 on a single by Christian Moya, a walk to Anthony Walters and a two-out, RBI single by Alcantara.
Daniels, who reached on a fielder's choice, then scored the winning run on a throwing error by shortstop Ryan Alvarez.
"(Bishop Amat) did a good of battling," Alemany coach Randy Thompson said.
"(Rene DeLeon) has been our closer. He hadn't given up a run all year. Yes, their hitters battled to put the ball in play but we could have prevented those by taking care of the first batter each inning. That's baseball."
The Warriors looked like they might add to the Lancers' troubles after taking a 4-0 lead in the sixth. Alemany took advantage of a two-base fielding error and went ahead 2-0 on singles by Christian Mercado and Ruben Cardenas.
Paul Banyi then hit into a bases-loaded double play to score Mercado for a 3-0 lead before Alex McKenna singled home Cardenas to make it 4-0.
"We knew we didn't want to lose another one like that," Alcantara said.
"You can't give up. You can't put your head down when you're down 4-0. You just have to keep going."
Bishop Amat showed it in the sixth. The Lancers cut it to 4-3 on a RBI triple by Hurst, a sacrifice fly by Daniels and a RBI single by Evan Claproth.
Alcantara then followed with his RBI single in the seventh before the Lancers won it on a throwing error.
"Win or lose, we made a commitment to not pout, get down on ourselves," Nieto said. "We had to trust one another, trust the coaches, our work ethic and our training.
"We had to play with confidence."

a recording i did inside a restaurant in the hamilton area. used my trusty zoom h4, brought into live cut off some low end. 16, 441.
Nice! I like this sound because it describes half-EMPTY area!
Thanks for the sample. Very useful and much appreciated.
yeah, it isn't the most ideal recording, can bring it up, but obviously that has its negatives...still was getting used to when and how i should use the lo/med/hi settings on db input.
Alomost what I´m looking for... Nice sound but on another hand too low... But It´s nothing that we can improve... tks a lot.

Congress missed a midnight deadline to agree on a spending bill, resulting in a partial government shutdown. After the shutdown is resolved, the focus will be on the debt ceiling. In such a volatile political climate, it is amazing how well stocks have reacted to the negative pressures.
Perhaps investors are becoming more aware of history, as the 17 government shutdowns since 1970 were all settled in several weeks, and the market averaged a gain of 0.7% one month later, according to SentimenTrader. Or perhaps the public is just out of the market and the professionals know the score.
Whatever the reason for the market's refusal to collapse, there are some stocks that should be sold merely because they are poor investments. For example, the yields on royalty trusts are doomed to dwindle. And there are companies, like those in the coal industry, that are bucking political headwinds that cannot be overcome.
Here is our list of stocks to sell in October:

THE story behind a gateway to Basingstoke has been recorded in a new history book.
The Basingstoke Triumphal Gateway was launched at an event in The Willis Museum, attended by Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane, Councillor Martin Biermann, and his wife Chansopha.
The book tells the story of how the Gateway, at Top of The Town, in London Street, was commissioned, designed and constructed.
It also explains how the 16 bronze panels which decorate the Gateway represent the history of the town.
The book has been published by the Friends of The Willis Museum, supported by a 'Promotion of the Heritage of the Borough' grant from Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.
It includes working drawings from designer Peter Parkinson, and information from workers at the Morris Singer Foundry. The bronze panels were cast in the world-famous foundry in Basingstoke, before it moved to Lasham Airfield.
The Gateway was the largest public work of art in the town, and was met with mixed reaction before it was officially unveiled in February 1992.
Objectors criticised its size, modernity and cost, and queried its suitability for a conservation area, with one councillor describing it as a "monster."
Mr Parkinson, who was commissioned to design the Gateway, said: "All I was told was that they wanted a triumphant gateway. I asked 'what's the triumph?', and everyone laughed."
John Hollands, a volunteer at the museum, who wrote the book, said: "It's intended both for visitors to the town and local people, and I'm hoping it will be of interest to schools.
"The first part is about the making of the Gateway from location to design and the way it was constructed, and some of the initial reactions to it. The second part is about the historical and cultural references made by the bronze panels."
Richard Quinnell, who made the steelwork for the Gateway, said it was the most "controversial piece of public art" he had ever worked on, and it received a "torrent of abuse." But he added that the public grew to love the Gateway, which he said has become a "symbol for their community."

last night at Eyebeam... a revelation...
sex, yes... and death, yes... are inextricably entangled...
am i the first to notice this, Agave? they're both
hard to swallow, and yes, surely i'm the first to call
orgasm the 'little death' which only grows with a thud
into the big One? every point i make is broken with delight
against the corpse of sex, the messy spew of death. wait
a minute, there's more, all sorts of things of bones
growing after the brain stops, what sort of ugly repeating
shatters geometries into the semblance of Becoming?

Kelly Osbourne Covers Cosmopolitan Body January 2013
She loves showing off her sense of style on "Fashion Police" and now Kelly Osbourne is soaking up the spotlight by covering the January 2013 issue of Cosmopolitan Body magazine.
The 28-year-old starlet revealed her newly fit beach bod in an orange and white bikini for the Nicky Johnston shot front page while opening up about everything from fitness to nutrition.
Highlights from Miss Osbourne's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to Cosmopolitan Body magazine.!
On losing the weight:
"People think I lost weight and that's what made me happier. That's not true; I had to learn to love myself first. Losing weight was just one benefit of putting the hard work in and sorting myself out on the inside first through therapy. That was one of the scariest times of my life. I swear I've never felt more naked, because I had to actually be me and couldn't mask it."
On respecting herself:
"I'll never be the kind of person who thinks, 'I'm so hot.' I don't want to be. But I learnt to respect and love myself – something I didn't think I would ever be capable of."
On working out:
Working out is not fun, I'm not going to lie and say it is. I sweat my arse off and I'm miserable for the hour I'm doing it but when I'm done, I feel amazing. There's no quick fix and it does take a long time. It drives you mad when you see someone eating chips when you can't have any, but it's so worth it."
On indulgence:
"I still eat chocolate and cake and always will. Everything in moderation."

It's been said you discover real friends when times are the toughest. Any human card rack on a monster run can attract a rail full of gawking well-wishers. But go without cashing for months at a time and keep missing final tables and wins by the smallest of margins, and you gradually come to the realization that support and encouragement are priceless commodities that mean far more than what can be measured in a prize pool. While 57 gold bracelet winners are born out of this year's World Series of Poker, the aspirations of tens of thousands more evaporate like teardrops out in the Las Vegas summer heat.
A year ago, Chris Bell was running bad. Really bad. He admits he was broke. Try carrying that burden and playing tournament poker full-time. Bell began questioning himself and even began to contemplate his future in the game. The married father of two children had to make some brutally tough decisions about his prospects for success in a game that has clearly become more challenging in recent years. Not just his future, but the futures of those around him depended on his decision.
When Bell needed the support of a friend the most – he got it. In fact, he got it in the ace spades. It came from none other than Erick Lindgren who has quietly become something like the pied piper of tournament poker. Lindgren gave Bell not only the financial backing he desperately needed to bridge the tournament poker playing psyche-wrecker called variance, he also provided Bell with something far more meaningful and everlasting. Lindgren gave Bell self-confidence.
Fast forward one year later. Chris Bell was the winner of the $5,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split championship at the 2010 World Series of Poker. Was it karma? Was it justice? Was it just the mathematics of poker finally kicking in, that if you somehow try hard enough and play long enough you will eventually reach the promised land? This marked Bell's first career WSOP gold bracelet victory, following several noteworthy wins and cashes in other major tournaments – as well as brutally disappointing stretches of failure. Bell earned a well-deserved and long overdue victory, for which he collected $327,040 in prize money.
"I want to thank Erick Lindgren. I would not be in Las Vegas right now if it weren't for Erick," Bell stated afterward. "A lot of people had given up on me the last year or so. But Erick didn't. He's never told me 'no.' He will beg and borrow for his friends. I appreciate him giving me this opportunity. Without a friend like him, I would not be here right now."
The $5,000 buy-in Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split champion (Event #46) is Chris Bell, from Raleigh, NC.
Bell is married. They have twin girls. Bell and his wife had three children, but sadly lost their boy about a year ago.
Bell graduated from North Carolina State University with a Business Degree, in 1994.
Bell invested and sold real estate for a number of years.
Bell collected $327,040 for first place. He was presented with his first WSOP gold bracelet.
According to official records, Bell now has one win, four final table appearances, and 14 cashes at the WSOP. His career WSOP earnings now total $759,183.
With this win, Bell now has in excess of $2.5 million in overall tournament career winnings.
On (close friend) Gavin Smith's win, which took place the previous day: "I wanted Gavin to win more than anybody. This is something we can talk about the rest of our lives. We will always be friends. When I was playing the other day, I almost could not concentrate because I was paying attention to what Gavin was doing. I know how bad he wanted it. He is such a good guy."
On experiencing some tough times in poker: "Last year, I was broke. That was a pretty low moment. That's another thing Gavin and I had in common. We stayed broke together for the last year."
On the challenge of making it as a tournament pro: "Tournaments are very tough. Everybody plays good now."
On his feelings coming into this tournament: "I was excited about the WSOP. I play a lot of Pot-Limit Omaha back home."
On playing heads-up versus Daniel Shak: "When you gets heads up and you are playing this high, a lot of it just depends on who runs better. I think I just ran better. When the limits got higher, I just ran better than he did. When we were heads up I ran better than him and I got lucky on one hand. But Dan Shak will get here."
On the impact of his win: "I think this will give a lot of poker players hope out there. (Laughing) If Gavin won one and I won one, then they can win one, too."
On the people who helped him win: "I want to thank Erick Lindgren. I would not be in Las Vegas right now, if it weren't for Erick. A lot of people had given up on me the last year or so. But Erick didn't. He's never told me 'no.' He will beg and borrow for his friends. I appreciate him giving me this opportunity. Without a friend like him, I would not be here right now."
The final table included four former WSOP gold bracelet winners – including Erik Seidel (8 wins), Perry Green (3 wins), Rob Hollink (1 win), and David "Devilfish" Ulliott (1 win).
The final table began nine-handed.
The final table included players from three different nations – Great Britain (1 player), The Netherlands (1 player), and the United States (7 players).
The runner up was Dan Shak, from Bryn Mawr, PA. He has been playing poker seriously for about six years. He has 34 overall cashes in major poker tournaments, which includes three victories. Shak's biggest victory took place earlier this year when he won the Aussie Millions Championship. Shak is also fondly remembered as the co-winner of the inaugural Ante-Up for Africa charity tournament. In 2007, Shak and his co-champ Brandon Moran collectively donated the entire cash prize for first and second place to the international relief effort in Darfur. The contribution amounted to a whopping $386,738. As the runner up, Shak pocketed a nice consolation prize amounting to $202,142.
The third-place finisher was English poker star Dave "Devilfish" Ulliott, from Hull, England. This was Devilfish's best finish in three years. He now has 30 WSOP cashes. His win took place back in 1997. Devilfish was one of the first bona fide poker celebrities in Great Britain. His finish in this tournament was worth $150,925.
The fourth-place finisher was Joe Ritze, from Hamilton, OH. This was his second time to cash at the WSOP and was his best showing to date, which paid $113,444.
The fifth-place finisher was eight-time gold bracelet winner Erik Seidel, from Las Vegas, NV. His bid for career victory number 9 fell short by four spots. Seidel now has more than $4.3 million in WSOP earnings after collecting $85,800 in this tournament.
The sixth-place finisher was Leif Force, from Tallahassee, FL. This marked his seventh time to cash at the WSOP. Force had one of the more impressive back-to-back years in the history of the WSOP Main Event when he finished 11th in 2006 (with 8,773 players) and then finished 392nd in 2007 (with 6,358 players). Force pocketed $65,311 in this tournament, which now gives him in excess of $1.2 million in WSOP earnings.
The seventh-place finisher was former gold bracelet winner Rob Hollink, from Groningen, Holland. Hollink won the $10,000 buy-in Limit Hold'em World Championship in 2008. In doing so, he became the first player from Holland ever to win a WSOP gold bracelet. Hollink put forth another fine effort in this tournament, going out in seventh place, which paid $50,014.
The eighth-place finisher was Perry Green, from Anchorage, AK. A little extra time and space is justified in order to give Green his proper due. This was Green's first time to cash at the WSOP in four years. It was his first final table appearance in 13 years. The three-time WSOP gold bracelet winner earned his titles in 1976, 1977, and 1979. Had Green somehow won this tournament, he would have shattered the record for longest gap between WSOP wins – at 31 years. Green is a retired fur trapper who is a poker pioneer in his home state of Alaska. He finished second to poker legend Stu Ungar in the 1981 WSOP Main Event. Many poker fans were happy to see Green's name back on the cash out list. His win in this tournament amounted to $38,549.
The ninth-place finisher was Jeremy Harkin, from Troutdale, OR. This was his third time to cash at the WSOP and marked his first final table appearance. Ninth place paid $29,886.
The final table began at 8:45 pm and ended at 5:45 am, a duration of about nine hours.
The top 27 finishers collected prize money. Aside from those who made the final table, former WSOP gold bracelet finishers who cashed in this event included – "Miami" John Cernuto (12th), Dan Heimiller (19th), and Barry Greenstein (24th).
Erik Seidel now has 60 career cashes. This currently ranks fifth on the all-time WSOP cashes list.
Dan Heimiller cashed for the sixth time this year.
Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler cashed for the seventh time at this year's WSOP. He is now in serious contention to challenge Nikolay Evdakov's record set in 2008 for most cashes in a single year – at 10. Nine more open events remain on the schedule, with five more gold bracelet events scheduled for WSOP Europe (which count towards all WSOP records).
The defending champion was Roland de Wolfe, from London, England. De Wolfe entered this year's tournament but did not finish in-the-money.
This is the 874th gold bracelet event in World Series of Poker history. Note: This figure includes every official WSOP event played, including tournaments during the early years when there were no actual gold bracelets awarded. It also includes the 11 gold bracelets awarded to date at WSOP Europe.
The official WSOP gold bracelet ceremony takes place on the day following the winner's victory (or some hours later when the tournament runs past midnight). The ceremony takes place inside The Pavilion, which is the expansive main tournament room hosting all noon starts this year. The ceremony begins at the conclusion of the first break of the noon tournament, usually around 2:20 pm. The national anthem of the winner's nation is played. The entire presentation is open to public and media. Video and photography are permitted by both public and members of the media.
Bell requested that the national anthem of the United States be played at his WSOP gold bracelet ceremony, held Tuesday June 30th, 2010.
Omaha High-Low Split has predominantly been a limit game since it was first introduced into cardrooms in the early 1980s. However, about five years ago some online poker sites began offering Pot-Limit Omaha High-Low Split, which fueled greater interest in the game. Pot-Limit Omaha High-Slow Split made its debut at the 2007 WSOP.
During the first two years, the Pot-Limit Omaha High-Slow Split tournament had a buy-in of $1,500. A $5,000 buy-in level tournament was added to last year's schedule for the first time and was played for the second time in 2010.
There are two Pot-Limit Omaha High-Slow Split tournaments on the 2010 WSOP schedule – one at the $1,500 buy-in level and this event, which had a $5,000 buy-in.
The previous Pot-Limit Omaha High-Slow Split tournament (Event #41) was won by Steve Jelinek, from Birmingham, England.
The tournament was played over three consecutive days, from June 25-27, 2010.
There were 284 entries. The total prize pool amounted to $1,334,800. The top 27 finishers collected prize money.
Attendance increased significantly – about 50 percent – over last year, when there were 198 entrants. This indicates a bright future ahead for Pot-Limit Omaha High-Slow Split tournaments.
Bell overcame a 2.5-to-1 chip deficit when he was heads-up against Dan Shak. The final duel lasted about 90 minutes.
Tournament attendance is up significantly from this same point last year. Last year, through 46 events, there were 43,749 entries. Thus far this year, there have been 51,329 total entries, an increase of 17.3 percent.
Prize money is also up from last year's figures. Last year, through 46 events, the total prize money paid was $88,428,594. This year's prize money currently stands at $89,844,665.

Men In KKK Costumes Disrupt Sessions Confirmation Hearing
WASHINGTON (REPORT) — Protesters disrupted Sen. Jeff Sessions' confirmation hearing for attorney general on Tuesday, including two men wearing Ku Klux Klan costumes and a woman wearing a pink crown.
The conservative Alabama senator, who is Donald Trump's pick for the nation's top law enforcement official, faces concerns over how committed he would be to civil rights.
The disruptions occurred during the morning session of his hearing. As Capitol Police took the men wearing white hoods and sheets out of the Senate hearing room, they yelled, "you can't arrest me, I am white!" and "white people own this government!" They held up hand signs saying, "Go Jeffie Boy!" and "KKK."
Also removed was at least one protester from the liberal group Code Pink, who held a sign that said, "Support civil rights, stop Sessions." Wearing a pink crown modeled on the Statue of Liberty, she shouted, "his voting record is evil."
Civil liberties advocates have expressed concerns about Sessions' voting record and his appearances before groups that espouse harsh views on Muslims and immigrants. The Alabama Republican was rejected for a federal judgeship by the Senate Judiciary Committee 30 years ago amid accusations of racial insensitivity.
Seeking to address those concerns, Sessions said in a prepared opening statement that he "understands the history of civil rights and the horrendous impact that relentless and systemic discrimination and the denial of voting rights has had on our African-American brothers and sisters."

Published: January 29, 2010 at 12:48 PMI think this is probably just being far too much looked into.
Commercials are always exaggerate themes of what you really experience or ride on in the park.
Remember the Surrender ads? They don't let you ride with Captain America on the ATVs and you don't run and shoot aliens on the streets of New York in Men in Black.
It would also be like saying you stand in tower of terror while a bellhop operates the drops.
Published: January 29, 2010 at 1:19 PMI'm voting sticks on the Dragon, too. Mostly because I've heard that the Hogwarts ride is built around the Floo Network and the image capture shows the exterior of the castle (which would be consistent with the position of the Dragon Challenge).
It makes sense, too, since Harry rode his broomstick in the challenge.
I agree with the anonymous poster, though, in that putting a little broomstick decoration on each seat won't overcome the fact that you're still sitting in that bulky suspended coaster train. It won't look anything like that picture, folks. (Nor will riders be issued Gryffindor Quidditch kit before riding, I assume.)
Published: January 29, 2010 at 2:25 PMi dont see them adding broom sticks to any attraction. What they should do is build a ride around quidditch where riders compete in a virtual quidditch match.
side note, does anyone know if they will be selling maggie smith posters????
MOTHER TO YOUR WORD.... strike that, reverse it
Published: January 30, 2010 at 12:40 PMthey will not put it on dragon challenge because like duelling dragons its still going to be two dragons battling each other so, if they did convert the seating to broomsticks it would ruin the theme. and it wont be on the new ride either that would be too complicated with a kuka arm system, its either just false advertisement or they are building another ride that they did not want aynone knowing about??
Published: January 30, 2010 at 8:52 PMAre they gonna give free tickets again this year? sure doesn't seem like they need to with all the publicity HP land is getting. But still giving away tickets like last year was awesome.(especially now since the prices have gone up)
Published: February 3, 2010 at 3:01 PMThe broomsticks will not be on the dragon coaster, because careful examination of the ad reveals the car design. the roller coaster is meant to represent the dragon chasing the two children.

Hector2 - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkThose who know even a little about technology know that Intel won't be a player in hand-helds until they get the power down substantially and are as easy to use as today's units.
I think it's pretty clear from the presentations today and the Haswell data shown that Intel is well on the way to getting there. I don't think even Intel is saying it'll be there next year, but it's coming. 22nm units will be pretty close. The 14nm units after that ought to pretty amazing. Reply
hechacker1 - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkInteresting to see Microsoft focusing heavily on ARM with Windows 8, and now Intel targeting Android. Presumably they will be competitive soon with ARM's power usage, but have X86 and support all the older Windows software.
I wonder if Microsoft will target X86 based tablets.
Too bad about MeeGo, it had some potential as another Linux based alternative.
Guess we have Windows 8 (phones), Android, and iOS for the foreseeable future. Reply

danjw - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkIntel, is trying to dig themselves out of the mobile hole they dug themselves into. So, they paid Google to a bunch of money to make sure Android will run on x86 architecture. It isn't a problem, the more diversity in Android, the better. But don't fool yourself, Intel realizes it screwed up by not going more aggressively after the mobile market.
Gondalf - Tuesday, September 13, 2011 - linkThe new roadmap is impressive and even upcoming Medfield seems decent. If intel can execute well and the brand new architecture in fast development is good (bye bye Atom), Intel can fill the gap in two years.

Massage? Flowers? How about some cheap electricity?
Groupon is getting into the solar-power game, announcing on Wednesday that it was teaming up with SolarCity to offer discounted volts. Customers looking to lease solar panels can pay $1 to Groupon and get $400 off their power bills.
The extra incentive should mean more demand for SolarCity's panels. But the Groupon deal is really aimed at something else: bringing down the cost of acquiring customers.
While hard numbers are hard to come by and can vary widely, Pavel Molchanov of Raymond James estimates the cost of landing a client for solar panels using a direct sales force can be between $6,000 and $8,000. Against that, piquing a potential customer's interest for $400 looks cheap.
Partnering with Groupon is also of a piece with SolarCity's other experiments in marketing, such as selling through Home Depot and Best Buy stores. When you have no profits to speak of and a stock price predicated on stratospheric growth, it pays to woo customers any way you can.

Public Meeting on the Rehabilitation of the Sausalito Public Fishing Pier
The City is engaged in a process to rehabilitate a damaged public pier near the Trident Restaurant to restore public access and fishing opportunities. The pier has been a part of the City as early as 1936 and has been historically used as a fishing pier. The exact date of when the pier was installed is not known, although historical photographs show the pier in existence as early as 1936. The pier was closed to public access in 2001 due to damage caused by the storm of January 11, 2001. Currently, the only remnants of the pier which remain are twenty-one pilings and the pier framing. The City received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to repair the public pier. A condition of the grant is that the construction be completed by the end of January 2014, but the City is seeking an extension of that deadline.
The OMIT (Outreach, MLK, IT, Transportation) Committee will hold a public hearing on Thursday, December 12 at 6:00pm in the Council Chambers at City Hall to discuss the community's desire for a public pier at the existing pier location, and what it should look like, given code constraints (which require the portion of the rebuilt pier over water to be elevated, and access to the higher level provided).
How to get involved, ask questions or view the plans: Come to the OMIT meeting on December 12! You can also e-mail Lilly Schinsing, Administrative Analyst or call her at: (415) 289-4134. You can also hand deliver a letter to the Administration Department, 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, CA 94965, prior to the meeting.

This can vastly accelerate bringing novel therapies that address global health issues to market,"
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) June 19, 2014
OTB Solutions delivers more innovation by releasing their new electronic data capture (EDC) module for their highly flexible Adaptive Clinical Trial Management System (CTMS). This new module enables data collection on any device, anywhere, at any time. "This can vastly accelerate bringing novel therapies that address global health issues to market," says OTB Solutions' Kristin von Hahn. "By using this EDC, the right data is collected at the right time." Ms. von Hahn elaborated. "Even if a visit is missed or the clinical trial protocol is modified mid-study, the quality control happens at the time of the visit and not after when errors are difficult to rectify and the results may need to be excluded." The EDC module extends the Visit Scheduler module which was launched in April.
Customer Needs
One of OTB Solutions customers', a large cancer research center, has already hugely benefited from deploying the Visit Scheduling Module for their vaccine trials group. They pointed out they were struggling to keep track of the data when visits were missed or there was a change in the protocol design. To address this, OTB Solutions developed its EDC module which appears as a tab when data for a specific visit needs to be collected. This highly flexible configurable module can be customized for a specific protocol in minutes without code. The data collected is visible everywhere as soon as it is collected.

Western Australia's domestic gas reservation policy has helped secure local gas supplies that would otherwise be exported, a report by a group of major gas buyers claims.
DomGas Alliance spokesman Gavin Goh said the report found that local customers did not automatically benefit from the development of new gas projects.
He said it could be more attractive for producers to export to a handful of overseas customers than negotiate with local buyers and build local processing plants, unless prompted by reservation policies.
"You can't presume capacity equals supply," Mr Goh said. "It's not just a question of price, it's about [export] volume."
The Domgas report said that:
• More than half of new domestic gas processing capacity under construction was the direct result of domestic gas reservation.
• The reservation policy had not discouraged new domestic gas-only projects, like Devil Creek or Macedon.
In WA, gas projects must set aside 15 per cent of supplies for domestic purposes. The report by the Domgas Alliance, which counts Verve Energy, Synergy, Alco and ERM Power among its members, said that Chevron's massive Gorgon and Wheatstone liquified natural gas projects - in development - would probably not have supplied the local market without compulsion.
The release of the report coincides with a push by the Australian Workers' Union to revive talk of a nation-wide domestic gas reservation policy.
Designed to protect local supplies, reservation policies have been criticised for stifling competition.
A spokesman for the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association said on Tuesday that open markets were the best way to attract investment in energy supply.
"Domestic gas reservations jeopardise investment in energy supply, reduce supply diversity leading to upwards pressure on energy prices," the spokesman said.
"Given the unprecedented supply response now occurring in WA and the potential of onshore reserves, the review of domestic gas reservation policy planned for 2014-15 should only have one outcome."
The head of Shell in Australia, Ann Pickard, said last week that reservation policies acted as a barrier to new investment in the sector.

Thanks heaps QSilver! I did try looking for a video which was like mine.
Funny thing:
Car hasnt done it since. Tried to replicate a few times since and nothing. Been running fine. From what i hear the CCV can intermittently work depending on where it has failed: hoses or the separator itself etc etc. Is this true?
I have ordered a CCV kit from the states (im in Aus) so i was going to replace it either way just to be safe as i hear they start failing at the KMs my car has. Ill test to see if anything is wrong with the current CCV and i'll post back here with the results. Thanks again all, great forum!

Endicott College
Financial Aid Office
376 Hale Street, Beverly, MA 01915
Phone: 978-232-2070
Fax: 978-232-2085
Loan FAQ's
Q. I am a new student and my parents will be taking care of applying
for financial aid. Is it OK if they complete the Direct Stafford Loan Master
Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling for me? No, because you are the borrower, you must complete the MPN and Entrance
Counseling yourself. It is important to know your rights and responsibilities
as a loan borrower as this is a legal binding commitment between you and the
federal government.
Q. I am a current student and I have previously completed a
Master Promissory Note (MPN) and Entrance Counseling when I borrowed a Federal
Direct Stafford Loan for my attendance at Endicott last year. Do I have to
complete them again this year? No, if you have previously completed a Master Promissory Note (MPN) and
Entrance Counseling for the Federal Direct Stafford Loan program, you will not
be required to complete them again.
Q. I am a current student. Will I have to repay both my Federal
Stafford Loan that I borrowed through a private lender in a prior year (Key Bank
as an example) and my Federal Direct Stafford Loan at the same time?
Yes, unless you choose to consolidate the loans. We would recommend that
you consider the benefits of consolidating your Stafford Loans when you
graduate - those through a private lender (Key Bank as an example) with your
Federal Direct Stafford Loans - in order to make repayment easier and more
convenient. Most of the repayment terms of the two loans are the same.
Q. When do I have to start repaying my loan? Parent PLUS Loan borrowers must begin repaying their Federal Direct PLUS
Loan within 60 days after the full amount that you have borrowed for the year
has been disbursed unless you apply and qualify for a deferment or forbearance.
Student Direct Stafford Loan borrowers must begin repaying their federal loans
six months after they are no longer enrolled or drop below half-time, although
interest on unsubsidized Stafford Loans begins accruing upon disbursement of the
loan. We recommend that both student and parent borrowers consider paying the
interest even when the principal payment is deferred.
Q. Can I transfer a Federal Direct PLUS Loan to my child so that it
becomes their responsibility to repay? No. A PLUS Loan made to the parent cannot be transferred to a student. You
are responsible for repaying the PLUS loan.
Q. Are there any repayment benefits available to student or parent
borrowers? Yes, you will be eligible for a .25% interest rate reduction if you have
your loan payments automatically taken out of your bank account through the
Electronic Debit Account (EDA) program.
Q. I am considering cancelling my Federal Stafford Loan or a part of the Federal PLUS Loan. What are the steps I need to take? You have a right to cancel all or a portion of any of the Federal Direct Loans within fourteen days of the disbursement notice that is sent to you by Endicott College. Your written request specifying the loan type and amount to be cancelled must be received via email or mail within fourteen days of the notice of disbursement.
Q. Can I consolidate my loan repayment into one payment? You may be eligible to consolidate your Federal Stafford and Perkins Loans through the Federal Direct Consolidation Loan Program. For additional information, you should contact your current loan servicer. Information about who currently services your loans is answered in the following question.
Q. Who is my loan servicer, and how do I make payments on my Stafford loans? To learn who your loan servicer is, please visit www.nslds.ed.gov and login using your FSA user ID. You will need to make payments directly to your servicer. Each servicer has its own payment process and can work with you if you need help making payments.

Slayton: Sydney Lea's Poetry
04/12/12 7:55AM By Tom Slayton
| Download MP3
Vermont Poet Laureate Sydney Lea is now touring Vermont, giving
readings at local libraries throughout the state. Commentator Tom
Slayton - long time journalist and observer of all things Vermont -
attended a recent reading by the poet at the Vermont State House in
(Slayton) The best Vermont poetry speaks with a characteristic voice that is clear, crisp, and as invigorating as a sunny April morning. Sometimes lyrical, sometimes plain, it bridges many individual styles, but can be heard in poets as different as Robert Frost, Galway Kinnell, Ruth Stone and David Budbill.
Most recently, that open, direct voice can be heard in the work of the current Vermont Poet Laureate, Sydney Lea of Newbury, who gave a reading at the State House earlier this month, to open Montpelier's celebration of National Poetry Month.
Lea's poetry is almost conversational in tone, and very accessible: you don't have to struggle or ponder to get the meaning of his words. But that directness can be misleading, because his poems are also very subtle, often slyly humorous, and, sometimes surprising. They work on more than just their explicit, surface level of meaning. Like any good Vermonter, Lea is adept at saying things without saying them, so his poems resonate in your mind long after you've heard them or read them.
In his poem, "To A Young Father," for example, Sydney Lea urges a younger man to take the time to absorb the beauty of a nearby river in fall by crossing a one-lane iron bridge and taking in the reflection, of "the back of the furniture mill/ in upside down detail on the river...":
At his State House reading, Lea held his audience of about 100 quietly spellbound as each poem, a slice of a deeply felt inner life, plainly stated in all its beautiful complexity, unfolded.
The final poem was entitled, "I was Thinking of Beauty," which is, of course, a major part of every poet's job. It somehow managed to combine Lea's own affection for the music of Charles Mingus, with a long-smoldering mental argument that the poet had with an overbearing, doctrine-bound professor, along with a neighbor's precise description of cedar waxwings, John Keats' famous one-liner: "beauty is Truth; truth Beauty," Maori tattoos, Jamaican steel-drum band music, and more - all of which led Sydney Lea to his wonderful conclusion: that beauty eludes all our definitions and simply exists, eternally: :I was thinking,: he says, " that it never had gone."
And so, without stating it directly, the poet makes us think about beauty: as an idea, as a memory, and, in this case, as a lovely poem by the poet himself: Vermont's Poet laureate, Sydney Lea.
I Was Thinking of Beauty
-- for Gregory Wolfe
I've surrendered myself to Mingus's Tijuana Moods
on my obsolete record machine, sitting quiet as I sat last night.
I was thinking of beauty then, how it's faced grief since the day
that somebody named it. Plato; Aquinas; the grim rock tablets
that were handed down to Moses by Yahweh, with His famous stricture
on the graven image. Last evening, I was there when some noted professor
in a campus town to southward addressed what he called, precisely,
The Issue of Beauty. Here was a person who seemed to believe
his learned jargon might help the poor because his lecture
would help to end the exploitations of capitalism -
which pays his wage at the ivied college through which he leads
the impressionable young, soon to be managers, brokers, bankers.
He was hard above all on poems, though after a brief
poetry seemed to vanish. It was gone before I knew it.
The professor quoted, Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty, then chuckled.
He explained that such a claim led to loathsome politics.
I'm afraid he lost me. Outside, the incandescent snow
of February sifted through the quad's tall elm trees,
hypnotic. Tonight as I sit alone and listen, the trumpet
on Tijuana Gift Shop lurches my heart with its syncopations.
That's the rare Clarence Shaw, who vanished one day, though Mingus heard
he was teaching hypnosis somewhere. But back again to last evening:
I got thinking of Keats composing and coughing, of Abby Lincoln,
of Lorrain and Petrarch, of Callas and Isaac Stern. I was lost
in memory and delight, terms without doubt nostalgic.
I summoned a dead logger friend's description of cedar waxwings
on the bright mountain ash outside his door come middle autumn.
I remembered how Earl at ninety had called those verdigris birds
well groomed little folks. Which wasn't eloquent, no,
but passion showed in the way Earl waved his work-worn hands
as he thought of beauty, which, according to our guest,
was opiate. Perhaps. And yet I went on for no reason
to consider Maori tattoos: elaborate and splendid,
Jamaicans shaping Big Oil's rusty abandoned barrels
to play on with makeshift mallets, toxic junk turning tuneful.
The poor you have always with you, said an even more famous speaker,
supreme narcotic dealer no doubt in our speaker's eyes -
eyes that must never once have paused to behold a bird,
ears that deafened themselves to the song of that bird or any.
Beauty's a drug, he insisted, from which we must wean the poor,
indeed must wean ourselves. But I was thinking of beauty
as something that will return -- here's Curtis Porter's sweet horn -
outlasting our disputations. I was thinking it never had gone.
a Young Father
riverbend must have always been lovely.
Take the one-lane iron bridge shortcut across
the town's west end and look downstream
to where the water backs up by the falls.
Boys once fished there with butterball bait
because the creamery churned by hydro
and the trout were so rich, says my ancient neighbor,
they tasted like heaven, but better. Try to
stop on the bridge if no one's coming
to see the back of the furniture mill
upside-down detail on the river,
assuming the day is clear and still.
I've lived here and driven this road forever.
Strange therefore that I've never taken
the same advice I'm offering you.
I've lived here, but I've too often been racing
to get to work or else back home
to my wife and our younger school-age children,
the fifth and last of whom will be headed
away to college starting this autumn.
hope I paid enough attention
to her and the others, in spite of the lawn,
the plowing, the bills, the urgent concerns
of career and upkeep. Soon she'll be gone.
Try to stop on the bridge in fall:
that is, when hardwood trees by the river
drop carmine and amber onto the surface;
or in spring, when the foliage has gotten no bigger
than any newborn infant's ear
such that the light from sky to stream
the world, as I've said -- or at
least this corner --
complete, in fact double. I'd never have dreamed
a household entirely empty of children.
It'll be the first time in some decades,
which may mean depression, and if so indifference
to the river's reflections, to leaves and shades,
but more likely -- like you, if you shrug off my counsel
or even take it -- it'll be through tears
that I witness each of these things, so lovely.
They must have been lovely all these years.

Retired City Planning Director Returns To Department
Mayor Stothert has named Acting Planning Director James Thele to be the new director. She says retired Planning Director Steve Jensen will return as a consultant to the department.
Jensen spent three decades in the office and retired in 2009. Thele has been acting planning director since June after since the departure of Rick Cunningham as director.
"I am excited to have Steve back in our Planning Department," Stothert said, in a news release Monday afternoon. "He is well-known and respected in the development community. Together, James and Steve will make a great team to move our Planning Department and city forward in a positive direction."
Thele has served in a number of positions in Omaha city government, including director of the Mayor's Office of Economic Development in 1979 and later, as assistant planning director.
Stothert says under Jensen's contract, which must be approved by the City Council, he will be paid up to $100-thousand a year. Since he will not be a full time employee, Jensen will be continue to receive his pension of $114,000 a year.

The Partnership for Appalachian Girls' Education (PAGE)
For more than ten years, Deborah Hicks-Rogoff has been running PAGE, an amazing program to promote self confidence in girls in Appalachia. Every year, she has had to raise money to keep the program going. In fall 2015, she was invited to submit a proposal to the Kenan Charitable Trusts. She reached out to Beth Eastlick in Foundation Relations for advice and assistance.
Hicks-Rogoff drafted a proposal and then she and Beth worked together to refine it, to answer questions that Beth thought Kenan might ask, to build in a required match for the funding, and to make sure the budget aligned with Duke accounting practices. In January 2016, the PAGE program received an award of $210,000 that will carry PAGE forward for two years.
"It was a great experience to work with Beth," Hicks-Rogoff says. "She helped me sharpen my narrative and build a successful relationship with a wonderful North Carolina foundation."
Summer Seminars in Neuroscience and Philosophy
Felipe De Brigard, assistant professor of philosophy, and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, the Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics, wanted to create a series of seminars. They brought a proposal draft to Vera Luck in Foundation Relations, who helped review the draft and prepare it for submission to the John Templeton Foundation.
Templeton awarded the two professors a $1.8 million grant to conduct yearly seminars bringing their two fields together starting in 2016. Each 15 day-long seminar will allow neuroscientists and philosophers to learn about each other's discipline, and then work together on new research.
Vera also provided support when the grant agreement was being finalized. Since then, De Brigard, Sinnott-Armstrong, and Vera have continued dialogue with Templeton about their interests. We look forward to exploring new ideas for future partnerships.

Property Acquisition
Property Control, Alejandra Estevez, 970-351-2389
Capital equipment may be acquired through purchase, donation, trade-in or construction. Regardless of the way the equipment is acquired, if it meets the definition of capital equipment, it must be added to the property records and tagged with a University of Northern Colorado property tag. Capital equipment is defined as equipment having a useful life of more than one year and a cost of $5,000 or more.
Property tags are to be placed on the front of the equipment in a conspicuous place, so that they can be easily read during the annual inventory process.
Title to the property rests with the University, not the Organization, regardless of whether the equipment may have been donated or purchased from Organization budget allocations or from special appropriations or allocations. Organizations are assigned property for custody through the property tagging process and are responsible for such property. Organizations are responsible for completing transfer forms when equipment is moved or otherwise disposed of, in order to transfer that responsibility.
An Organization is designated as the "Responsible Organization" when property is acquired by the Organization through purchase, gift or transfer. The responsible Organization is carried on the property and inventory records of the University and will be relieved of responsibility only if the property is transferred to another Organization, donated to a non-profit agency, declared surplus, traded in on a new acquisition, or reported as lost or stolen to the University Police. In these cases, the responsible Organization must fill out the appropriate form and forward it to Property Control so that adjustments can be made to inventory records.
All items will be carried on the accounting records at cost or purchase price. This will include shipping, installation and training costs. Where the actual purchase price cannot be established, as in the case of a gift, fair market value may be used.
Equipment can be acquired utilizing the trade-in value of a similar asset. Purchase of items where the purchase price is reduced by the value of a similar asset traded in will be recorded on the property records at the actual list/invoice price of the item purchased. The cost, therefore, for the new piece of equipment will equal the cash paid for the equipment plus the trade-in allowance documented by the seller. A gain or loss on disposal of the asset traded in will be calculated as the difference between the book value of the asset traded in and the trade-in value provided by the seller.
Equipment can be acquired through a lease purchase. The principal amount of the item is the capitalized value adjusted for any trade-in value provided by the seller on equipment traded in upon purchase and calculated as noted above.
Equipment can also be acquired through component building. Occasionally someone will build a piece of equipment from components. Property Control will assist in determining a fair market value for the item. If the value is $5,000 or greater, the equipment will be assigned a property tag.
Reconditioned items will be recorded at the total purchase price plus all reconditioning costs. Reconditioning of already owned items normally will be charged to expense, and the initial property records will remain unchanged, unless the amount is $5,000 or more and reconditioning will prolong the life of the asset more than an additional year. In this case, the reconditioning will be considered an improvement, and a separate property record will be kept for the improvement.
Property Control will initiate equipment tags in one of several ways. All purchase orders will be reviewed. When a purchase order meets the capital equipment requirements, Property Control will prepare a property record and create a property tag after the purchase order has been paid. The property record will contain the following information:
- Description of equipment
- "In-service" date or purchase date
- Original cost
- Depreciable life
- Serial number of equipment
- Vendor or manufacturer
- Building and room number where equipment is located
- Source of funds used for the purchase
- Responsible Organization
- Purchase order, voucher or EIO used to pay for equipment
- Asset type
The property tag and a tag notice will be sent to the individual who requested the purchase order. That individual is responsible for attaching the property tag.

Yate is a town and civil parish in South Gloucestershire, England, at the southwest extremity of the Cotswold Hills, 11 miles (17.7 km) northeast of Bristol city centre. Yate developed from a village into a sizable town from the 1960s onwards, partly as an overspill or commuter town for the city of Bristol. Although not a New Town in the official sense, Yate took on many of the characteristics of one. At the 2011 census the population was 21,603. The town of Chipping Sodbury (population 5,045) is contiguous with Yate to the east. In addition, a large southern section of the built-up area spills over into the parish of Dodington (population 8,206), and so the total population of Yate's urban area is now approaching 35,000.

Might I get you interested in another one? It is not a symbol but a digraph
which would fit nicely into the few empty spaces of the U+0180 page. This
page contains (among other things) digraphs, such as dz, lj, nj.
My native language, Slovak, uses the digraph "ch", yet I cannot find it
anywhere in the Unicode standard. Ch, as used in Slovak (and, I believe, in
Czech), is not just two characters typed after each other. It is a separate
character. It is pronounced similar to Greek chi, or the Cyrillic character
that looks like Roman x.
It is also lexicographically distinct. In Slovak dictionaries, the letter
ch follows the letter h, and precedes the letter i. So, for example, if a
computer program sorted a list of Slovak words working on the assumption
that any occurence of "ch" is just a "c" followed by an "h", it would sort
it incorrectly.
Do I have any samples of its use? No, not here in the US. But a look into
any Slovak dictionary will clearly indicate that "ch" is a separate letter
and a separate lexicographic unit.
Slovak is the official language of the five million people living in the
country of Slovakia. It is also spoken by about 2-3 million Slovaks living
outside of Slovakia.
It is capitalized as CH, and the title version is Ch. It would fit in the
positions of U+01F6 - U+01F8, which are currently unassigned, at least
according to http://charts.unicode.org/Unicode.charts/normal/U0180.html .
