Tom Jomby Into Singles Quarterfinal at ITA Regional's
Oct. 21, 2012
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Behind a 6-4, 6-2 win over David O'Hare of Memphis, University of Kentucky men's tennis junior Tom Jomby advanced to the singles quarterfinals at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Ohio Valley Regional Championships on Sunday afternoon.
"Tom is playing very good tennis," UK head coach Cedric Kauffmann said. "I am excited to see how he will finish the tournament."
Jomby will take on Connor Glennon of the Memphis Tigers on Monday afternoon, at 12 Noon ET. The Wildcats junior will then play at 3:30 p.m. ET if he were to advance to the singles semifinals.
In addition to the singles final, Jomby and doubles partner Kevin Lai won their semifinal doubles match over David O'Leary and Joe Salisbury of Memphis by a score of 8-2. The duo will play for the ITA doubles final on Monday against the No. 1 overall seed of the draw, Tennessee's John Collins and Mikelis Lieibtis.
"Tom (Jomby) and Kevin (Lai) are playing great. It will be a tough battle tomorrow for the title, but I know they will be up for the challenge." Kauffmann said.
"With work and mental toughness, I know this team can be one of the best in the country by the year's end." Kauffmann said.
Senior Anthony Rossi suffered a tough defeat Sunday, falling in a tight three-set match 6-3, 6-7, 6-4 to Ryan Lipman of Vanderbilt. Rossi was the No. 1 overall seed in the singles draw, and had an admirable appearance, progressing to the singles round of 16.
"Rossi lost a heartbreaker today. He had some chances to close out the match but his opponent played well. The credit goes to Ryan Lipman and the Vanderbilt coaching staff." Kauffmann said.

| Dear Sirs,
I am really fed up with all the drug advertising I see on TV and in magazines lately. Years ago, I used to buy and read "Woman's Day" faithfully every week. Now, there are so many drug ads that I am disgusted even looking at it.
On TV, the drug ads just roll on and on and on. What's worse is that the average TV viewer has no clue as to whether or not they need the drug. They have no idea how harmful the drugs can be. They then go and demand that their doctor give them these drugs and because the doctors get most of their drug education from the drug companies, they don't necessarily know any more than the patient, so they give in to the patient's demands.
The worst of these drugs are, of course, the psychotropic drugs. I don't know of one which has been shown to cause any improvement in a majority of cases. I do know of many which have been proven to be harmful to so many people that they've been banned in some countries (but not the US!). It is well-documented that US drug companies have covered up significant studies on certain psychotropic drugs which have proven that these drugs are harmful. It is much cheaper for them to pay out a few million dollars in lawsuit settlements than to lose a few billion dollars profits. Who cares about a few thousand dead, robotic or crazy kids? Only their friends and families -- and they don't have enough influence to matter anyhow.
Tobacco companies are not allowed to advertise and yet their product is far less harmful than psychotropic drugs, which at best just cover up physical pain and at worst are the direct cause of most suicides and many murders. It definitely is time to stop the TV advertising.

Il Punto, Hell's Kitchen, New York CityMarch 8, 2013
There are some restaurant you immediately feel at home as you walk through the door, wishing it were located in your neighborhood. That's what happened at Il Punto (Hell's Kitchen) where I dined recently before seeing the now-closed show FoodActs at the Lion Theatre.
Fabio, our waiter, and I bonded as he gave me a sample of the Vicolo Montepulciano D'Abruzzo 2008, served by the glass. I had asked him to hold the bottle so I could capture the label with Vivino, the wine app a sommelier at Eleven Madison had shared with me that I've been using it ever since. Fabio was intrigued how after I took my photo, it recognized the wine. He jotted down the name.
We began with the delicate Polipo Scottato Su Letto Di Fave, skewered rounds of seared octopus over fava beans puree with crispy walnuts and lemon-flavored olive oil ($14). And the disappointment of the evening, the Sapore di una Pamigiana de Melanzane ($14), a decomposition of an eggplant parmigiana with some buffalo mozzarella that was not attractively presented, nor very flavorful.
We were planning to order a pasta dish, but Fabio recommended the Risotto al Parmigiano e broccoli ($20) with perfectly cooked Arborio rice made creamier with lots of Parmigiano Reggiano topped with sauteed broccoli rape seasoned with hot pepper, to make it spicy. I'd highly recommend.
While we were finishing those dishes, the adorable young Italian born and bred executive chef Antonio Mermolia stopped by the table to chat, offering us suggestions for another dish. He left, saying he'd send out something. What arrived were two incredible dishes: Branzino with crispy skin, with a salad made with carrots, mushroom and arugula in a lemon dressing atop a mushroom puree. Exquisite! But even more unusually tasty (and the chef's favorite dish) is the onion gelato salad. It's an appetizer with red onion gelato (That isn't a typo… It truly was a refreshing onion gelato!) along with shrimp, arugula, shaved fennel and caramelized onions in a balsamic lemon dressing. The chef suggested getting some of each ingredients in each bit. Ethereal.
We had no time for dessert, as the curtain was going up!
I consider this a great find! A place I'd highly recommend before theatre or to spend the evening!

About the Moon Phase Calculator
The Moon Phase Calculator calculates moon, or lunar, phases for any year between 1 and 2100. Any location available through the World Clock may be selected, and the calculator will adjust for local time. If the selected location observes daylight saving time during parts of the year, the times shown will reflect that.
Please note: This tool provides the exact times and dates of the moon phases irrespective of the moon's actual visibility. For example, a full moon may occur before moonrise or after moonset.
Find out times for moonrise and moonset in your location
See where the moon is currently over the horizon
LunationThe lunation number represents the number of times the Moon has cycled the Earth since January 1923 (based on a series described by Ernest W. Brown in Planetary Theory, 1933). One cycle, or lunation, starts at new moon and lasts until the next new moon.
DurationDuration is the number of days (d), hours (h), and minutes (m) between one new moon and the following one. The average value is 29 days 12 hours 44 minutes and is called a synodic month. The duration varies from one lunation to another, most importantly because the orbit of the Earth and Moon are ellipses rather than circles, where the orbit speed depends on how close the orbiting object is to the mass center. For example, the Moon moves faster when it is closest to the Earth. Some years, such as 2004, have relatively small duration differences throughout the year (five hours difference between minimum and maximum duration), while the year 2008 will have larger differences (more than twelve hours).
Moon PhasesThe moon phases depend on the position of both the Sun and Moon with respect to the Earth. The Moon Phase Calculator shows only the four primary phases of the Moon: new, first quarter, full and third quarter. However, the intermediate phases between the primary phases―waxing crescent, waxing gibbous, waning gibbous, and waning crescent―will also be described below.
New Moon―Positions of the Sun (left), the Moon (middle), and the Earth (right) at new moon, as seen from the northern direction of the solar system. The arrows show the direction of the sun's rays, and the bright part of the Moon and Earth shows the part illuminated by the sun. Note that the true distance between the Sun, Earth, and Moon is much larger than showed in these illustrations.
New MoonIn the Moon Phase Calculator, new moon is the moment when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, meaning that the Sun and Earth are on the opposite sides of the Moon. New moon cannot normally be seen from the Earth, however, since only the dark side of the Moon faces the Earth. Sometimes, if the Moon lies directly between the Earth and the Sun during the new moon phase, a solar eclipse occurs as the Earth enters the Moon's shadow. In most locations on Earth, only a fraction of the Sun will be obscured, in a partial solar eclipse. Locations where the center of the shadow passes over experience a total eclipse in which the Moon completely obscures the Sun, or an annular or ring eclipse, in which the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than the Sun.
Waxing Crescent MoonA few days after the new moon phase, the Moon will be visible again in a phase that lasts until the first quarter, called waxing crescent moon. The initial period, just after the Moon becomes visible, is sometimes called new moon, although it has another definition here. Although only a small part of the Moon may be illuminated by the Sun, the rest of the Moon may also be faintly visible, due to a reflection from the Earth to the Moon, called earthshine. The waxing crescent moon is most visible after sunset. The first visual sight of the waxing crescent moon determines the beginnings of months in the Muslim calendar.
First Quarter Moon―The Moon has now moved 90 degrees from the SunEarth axis, in a counter-clockwise direction (as seen from the northern part of the solar system).
First Quarter MoonDuring the first quarter, half of the Moon is illuminated, as seen from the Earth. The Moon rises near the middle of the day and sets near the middle of the night. In northern regions of the world, the right part will be visible, while the left part will be visible in the southern regions. Near the equator, the upper part is bright after moonrise, and the lower part is bright before moonset (the bright part appears and disappears first).
Waxing Gibbous MoonThe waxing gibbous moon occurs between the first quarter and the full moon. The sun illuminates more than half of the Moon's surface during this period.
Full Moon―The Moon has completed 180 degrees of its path around the Earth, and the bright part of it faces the Earth.
Full MoonFull moon appears when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth. As seen from Earth, all of the Moon's surface will be visible. The full moon is visible approximately from sunset to sunrise. When observed from Earth, the Moon can appear to be full for a couple of days, since more than 98 percent of the Moon's disc is illuminated a day before or after the full moon. During full moon, the Moon may pass through Earth's shadow causing a lunar eclipse. If the whole moon is in the Earth's shadow, or umbra, a total lunar eclipse occurs. If only a part of the Moon enters the umbra, we see a partial lunar eclipse.
Waning Gibbous MoonThe period between full moon and third quarter is called waning gibbous moon. The portion of the visible half of the Moon illuminated goes down from 100 percent to 50 percent during this period.
Third Quarter Moon―The Moon is now in a position 270 degrees from the original, as observed from the Earth.
Third Quarter MoonThe third quarter moon occurs when the other half of the Moon is illuminated compared to the first quarter. On the day of third quarter, the Moon rises approximately in the middle of the night and sets in the middle of the day.
Waning Crescent MoonThe waning crescent moon is the period between the third quarter moon and the next new moon. It is most visible before sunrise. The Sun illuminates less than half the Moon during this period. When only a small part of the Moon is visible, it may be possible to see earthshine on the dark side of the Moon.
Local Time ConversionThe moon phase calculator automatically takes into account daylight saving time at the selected location, except for UTC/GMT. To display the moon phases for a location within this timezone (e.g. London) please select the city - not UTC/GMT. If you select a future year, the results may be wrong due to future changes in a country's daylight saving time rules. For years before the introduction of standard time zones, the calculator may display "local mean solar time", which is an average yearly value based on the moment when the sun passes a location's meridian. In reality, this moment may differ by up to 17 minutes from the average passing time.
Calculation AccuracyFor years between 1600 and 2100, the accuracy of the times calculated should be within one minute of the real time. Times for 2007 have been compared to those listed in The Astronomical Almanac for the Year 2007, and the same time is listed in 47 of 50 phases with a one-minute difference in the remaining three phases, so it should be accurate enough for most purposes. For years before 1600, accuracy will be less as we calculate back in time up to a probable error of 15 minutes in year 1.

Auto theft in Texas has been declining in the past few years. Better car security technology and awareness among car owners have led to this decline. With declining auto thefts, car owners can hope for lower insurance premiums. The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles keeps track of vehicle thefts. Here are the 2010 numbers…
In the Lone Star State, there were 68,219 stolen vehicles in 2010. The economic loss from stolen vehicles was close to $635,570,078. The state saw a total of 263,479 motor vehicle burglaries (for car parts), where the economic loss from burglaries of motor vehicles was $219,274,501.
The motor vehicle theft rate of 271.3 per 100,000 people has lessened as compared to previous years, but auto theft is still prevalent in the state. Usually the stolen vehicles are taken onto freight ships that are heading overseas or they are taken to a warehouse to be dismantled and sold on the black market for parts.
Cars most stolen in Texas
• Ford pickups
• Chevy pickups
• Dodge pickups
• Honda Civic and Honda Accord
These numbers give you the present scenario of auto theft in Texas – with the silver lining being the decline in the rate of thefts as compared to previous years.
Get the right insurance coverage
For vehicle owners in the state, the one thing that can double the pain of automobile theft – is finding out that your car insurance policy falls short of covering your costs associated with the theft. That is why you need to be vigilant enough to stop your vehicle from being stolen.
The first step to protecting your vehicle is to not to rely wholly on the factory installed theft protection device. Most thieves are pros in disabling such systems and can easily override theft prevention. The smart option is to secure your vehicles with additional security devices that are more sophisticated and installed by professionals.
The other most common mistake people commit, and end up having their cars stolen, is thinking that their 'older' model cars are safer. You must never feel secure that your old car is not worth much – and be lax in its security. Older vehicles are in demand as there is a big market for their parts because they are no longer being manufactured. That is why you should never make the mistake of not getting adequate insurance coverage for your older car – as you may end up having it stolen – and you having no means of compensation for your loss.
Be prepared
Another practice that can keep you safe in the event of a car theft is to keep a copy of your car's original papers. Having the entire set of documents will allow you to get the police complaint processed faster – and with the proof of insurance you can process your claim more quickly.
To protect yourself against auto theft and dealing with financial loss, you must ensure you get adequate coverage for your vehicle. Get a car insurance policy that covers the cost of damages in the event of your vehicle being stolen. The cost of a replacement rental vehicle must also be covered in your policy. So to be safe from auto theft in Texas, get a car insurance policy that covers theft and keeps your car secured with advance security systems.
InTexasAutoInsurance.com is a leading expert on Texas car insurance. We provide a free online auto insurance quote portal – that helps you compare quotes from up to 8 carriers – saving you up to 50% on auto insurance. Help reduce your losses in the event of an auto theft in Texas with the right insurance coverage.

NEW YORK, Sept 8 (Reuters) - Olympic champion Andy Murray moved one step closer to joining tennis royalty on Saturday by reaching the U.S. Open final and was hailed afterwards by some popular Scottish nobility during his news conference.
Actor Sir Sean Connery interrupted the question and answer session following Murray's 5-7 6-2 6-1 7-6 victory over Czech Tomas Berdych and waved in Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson as the stunned player broke into a wide smile at the sight of Scotland's most famous ambassadors.
"Scotland invented the wind!" proclaimed Ferguson, referring to the blustery conditions in which Murray prevailed to put himself in position to be the first British player to win a grand slam singles title since Fred Perry in 1936.
"Very good. Fantastic."
Connery also called up Murray's mother Judy, the former Scottish national coach and current British Fed Cup captain to join the Scottish celebration.
The third-seeded Murray walked off the dais to join the group and shook hands with his surprise visitors.
"I hope you'll be with me at the final as well," said Murray.
Murray will face either defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia or Spaniard David Ferrer, who led the other semi-final 5-2 when their match was suspended until Sunday because of the approach of a severe storm.
The 25-year-old Murray said it was a thrill to have Connery and Ferguson come out to support him.
"It's great," he said. "That's the first time I've met Sir Alex and first time I met Sir Sean, as well. That's obviously nice, to have their support."

Target: Colombian Government
Goal: Protect abused, displaced women and girls in Colombia through more effective implementation of laws
Colombia's laws and policies regarding violence against women are not sufficiently protecting displaced women and girls, as is their intended purpose. Women who are victims of civil war and violence in the area have greater odds of being attacked violently or sexually, and holes in the criminal code do not adequately defend these women.
According to a report by the Human Rights Watch, there are two million displaced women and girls that are vulnerable to rapes, sexual assault and domestic violence. Although Colombian laws specifically address violence against women, there is a disconnect between the intended purpose of these laws and actual implementation of them. There is growing concern that these policies must more effectively allow displaced victims to obtain justice, adequate healthcare and protection.
"For many displaced women and girls, the hardships of displacement are compounded by the trauma of rape and domestic violence," explained Amanda Klasing of Human Rights Watch, "And despite good laws and policies that have been enacted in recent years, they still face enormous difficulty in getting the medical attention they're entitled to. And, they rarely see their abusers brought to justice."
Women who are assaulted or abused, more often than not, must overcome numerous obstacles in order to get the care they need. To obtain necessary medical treatment after a sexual or violent attack, often women are forced to wait weeks before given an exam or any medical care.
A 2011 survey conducted by the Colombian government identified nearly 48 percent of displaced women had experienced domestic assault, and 9 percent reported being raped. These numbers are higher than the national averages, displaying the increased vulnerability of displaced women and the need for more effective protection for these women.
In order to protect displaced women, the government of Colombia must actively make changes to its current laws concerning violence against women to address the displaced female population. There is a bill currently up for consideration that would facilitate access to healthcare and proper prosecution for victims of violence, with an emphasis on women displaced by conflict.
The bill would amend the criminal code, updating policies regarding domestic and sexual violence and aligning them with global standards and human rights laws. Sign below to encourage the Colombian government to protect displaced women and girls by passing this bill.
Dear Government of Colombia,
Current legislation protecting women and girls from acts of sexual violence and domestic abuse is encouraging. However, data shows there is a significant drop-off between the ideals outlined in the laws and policies, and the application of these laws.
More specifically, females who have been displaced due to war and civil unrest experience higher rates of rape, sexual assault and domestic violence. Despite these higher rates of violence, there is a lesser chance of obtaining justice or healthcare in the event of an attack.
This is why the bill up for consideration is so imperative. Amanda Klasing of Human Rights Watch "The bill is crucially important as it would address major gaps in the existing law – gaps that enable humiliation of victims and impunity for perpetrators," said .
Please pass this bill and take a stand for Colombian women.

Looking forward to cooler weather, while getting a little ahead of myself, I made a banner to celebrate my favorite season-Autumn.
I made the design template using my psp7 program.
I printed the template using light-weight card stock, cut them out then I laminated each and cut around the pattern. I could have laminated the whole sheet after I printed, but I didn't want to waste laminate-it is so expensive. Of course, lamination is optional.
If you like this idea, I have the templates for download. It is in a .pdf format. You can download it here or click on the instructions below. You will need Adobe Reader to view and to download these templates.
If you don't have Adobe Reader you can download it here for free.
Enjoy and Happy-early-Autumn!

Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you identify the language, and do you know where it's spoken?
Here's a recording in a mystery language.
Can you identify the language, and do you know where it's spoken?
Not Arabic or Turkic sounds like Tajik or similar Persic tongue, almost a hint of slavic influence.
The only thing I understand are the greetings in the beginning. I can't even tell if it's a Semitic language or just influenced by one. I tried googling for some of the words, but when I don't know how they are spelt, it's quite difficult.
Would like to know what the [pʰistuʃ] means just after the middle of the file. It's so separate from its surroundings.
To my (totally untrained) ears, it sounds like a Slavic language, with several elements of Arab. The greeting suggests one of the Muslim countries that formerly belonged to the USSR.
The Russian accent here suggests a language socially and politically subordinated to Russian for a lomg period of time. It sounds vaguely Turkic with the high central/high back voewl (I can't tell without another careful listen). The words are too short for Turkic languages though, and I hear none of the typical pile-ups of grammatical affixes accompanied by vowel harmony. As well, I don't seem to hear signs of what would sound like the (nearly) exclusively word-final stress typical of Turkic languages. No ejectives, no pharyngeals or long consonant clusters typical of Caucasian-family languages. So that basically, as far as I can see, leaves a language of the formerly Soviet Caucasus north of Armenia and Azerbaijan that is neither Caucasian nor Turkic. Which as far as I know leaves Ossetic or perhaps some other Indo-Iranian language I haven't thought of.
Thanks to Simon's help it's clear that it's one of the 30something languages spoken in the Daghestan region of Russia, but I don't know which one
Just a guess: Lezgi.
Avar? Or Dargwa or Lak?
The Caucasian region: one of the world's bingo ball bowls of languages! 🙂
Imagine living there. Gotta love Dagestan.

During a radio interview this morning Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi revealed that Roy Halladay is not interesting in signing a long-term extension and plans to hit the open market once his contract expires after next season, which helps explain why the Blue Jays are shopping their ace.
"What's changed is Roy has told us that he's going to test the free-agent market," Ricciardi said, adding that the Blue Jays' public, self-imposed July 28 deadline to trade Halladay "can fluctuate ... if we're down the road with something" but "if we're not down the road by the 28th, nothing's going to happen."
Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports that the Phillies remain the front-runners for Halladay and the Blue Jays sent assistant general manager Tony LaCava to scout 21-year-old pitching prospect Kyle Drabek's latest start at Double-A despite previous speculation that Philadelphia is unwilling to include him a deal.
Bastian also notes that the Yankees, White Sox, Brewers, Dodgers, Cardinals, Rangers, and Red Sox "have been tied to Halladay in various reports." However, according to Ricciardi "only a few teams have approached him with serious interest" in Halladay. "Some are serious and some I would say are delirious," Ricciardi said.

What is the relationship between direct, indirect and induced components of the multiplier effect?
Indirect: Increase in expenditure/income as a result of construction or event (eg. Income received by suppliers and employees of construction company or event organisers)
Induced: Increase in expenditure/income received by suppliers/employees of company supplying the construction suppliers or event organisers
Use Value: Value placed on actual or intended use of the investment (ticket purchase, consumer surplus – the amount greater than ticket price willing to pay)
Non-Use Value: Relates to the value placed on the "existence" of the investment (identify teams as "civic totems", beneficial to teams even if they don't use).
Sport investment is foreign and lacks structural linkages to local economy required for economic growth. Tie in clauses with suppliers that restrict spillover. Compounded if athletes live elsewhere. If local expenditure transfer not linked to activities locally articulated then can have negative effect. Money goes into these sports teams and stars (injection) however the athletes can leave and spend the money elsewhere (leakage)
Why is gambling important to state government revenues in Australia?
Gambling taxation revenue nearly doubled in ten years (just over 10% average of state/territory government tax revenue). Governments are promoters of gambling in the fact that they provide injections into the government, allowing them to spend the money in other areas of the economy. However the trade-off may come in the form of leakages caused by funding spent to help problem gamblers.
How is technology impacting on sport gambling?
Rapid impact on delivery and nature of gambling services; internet and interactive TV allow delivery of wide range of gambling opportunities into the home and stadium. People at risk of gambling problem more likely to use technology for purchases or use mobile phone technology. Technology makes it easier to gamble, meaning it could create new problem gamblers as there is the potential to put an electronic gaming terminal in everybody's pockets and living rooms.
How does a lack of integrity in sport wagering potentially impact on sports?
Negative external costs on sports industry – loss of confidence in integrity will make sport less attractive, lower attendance demand and value of media rights and sponsorship. Essentially it will lower the overall demand in sports if the integrity in sports betting is compromised, meaning large economic losses and costs for those individuals and organisations which rely on sports to get by.

|Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) / Jade or Jadeite
What is the difference between jade and jadeite?
What was traditionally called jade is in fact two separate and distinct minerals; jadeite and nephrite. These two materials have different chemical compositions, levels of hardness and densities. They even have different crystal structures. Most of the classic jade from China is nephrite; jadeite comes mainly from Burma. The rarest and most valuable jadeite is called imperial jade, and is colored green by traces of chromium. It has a color and transparency that rivals fine emerald, though imperial jade is slightly more yellow in tone. Jadeite is generally very expensive, while nephrite is still quite affordable.

Woah, that's one of the laziest GS sprites ever. - Ferret 06:40, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
The article says that Bikes use mainly Fighting and Poison typed Pokémon. However, in the lists of their appearances, they are only shown to have Fire and Poison Pokémon. I agree that Fighting fits them better, but should this article be changed to reflect this discrepancy? Goldenpoke111 03:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Wartime Letters
Wartime letters have always had a special poignancy to them. Individually, they are candid snapshots of a fleeting moment in time. When gathered in a collection, though, they have all the qualities of a good diary, or even a novel. For collectors, the attraction of wartime letters is even greater when the sender, recipient, or context (e.g., a famous battle) is noteworthy.

Talk Back: Victories for Sharks and Bulls
Last Friday, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation banning the sale and possession of shark fins in the Golden State, brushing aside a well-financed lobbying campaign by the finning industry and a segment of the Chinese-American community who argued that the measure was racist. (Brown also signed six other bills backed by HSUS, but vetoed two bills we had urged him to sign. See the details here.) The defenders of shark finning said that only Chinese-Americans consumed this soup, and that the legislation amounted to an attack on their tradition and their heritage.
Anybody who follows The HSUS knows that our anti-cruelty work is culture- and color-blind. We take on cockfighting, even though some Latinos, Cajuns, Filipinos, Thais, Vietnamese, and others embrace it as part of their cultures. We do the same with dogfighting, whether the people involved are rural whites or urban-based African-Americans. We fight sealing in Newfoundland, even though these sealers in Atlantic Canada identify sealing as part of their tradition and a centuries-old practice. We take on cruelty wherever we see it, and we don't suspend our scrutiny because of the color of the skin of the perpetrator; we are more concerned with the bright-red blood on the skin or fur of the animal victims.
A couple of weeks back, I celebrated the news that Catalonia, a province in Spain, had outlawed bullfighting, putting to rest the notion that Spaniards are not opposed to this sort of barbaric spectacle. Compassion for animals is a universal value and a measure of heart and wisdom, not ethnicity or heritage. And this is what defines the broad community that is The HSUS—such as, to name just one, the thousands of Chinese-Americans who took the side of sharks, not soup, in California.
Readers of this blog had plenty to say on the bullfighting ban, and here are a few of your reactions.
Thank God this horrendous sport has finally come to an end in Catalonia. I hope this nightmare will end in the rest of Spain and all other countries which permit this cruelty to take place. —Patricia D. Brodie
I was elated to hear about Catalonia's new law going into effect to ban the cruel industry of bull"fighting." This sadly misnamed brutality actually involved no fighting, no sport, nor anything resembling ethical behavior; just plain, inhumane torture of innocent animals for entertainment. I say good riddance to it wherever it still exists, and may it be relegated to History's Great Dumpster of Really Bad Ideas, along with slavery, gladiator fights, and witch burning. —David Bernazani
Slowly...but surely...man's humanity dispels his inhumanity. "Culture" cannot be a barrier to compassion and reform. —Joanne Hedge
As a child I saw a romantic movie about bullfighter heroics. My mother, no stranger to plucking and cleaning chickens while I watched, explained to me how the bulls were killed. That haunted me until I grew to realize what a hideous act of cowardice bullfighting is. The sooner the practice is banished from planet Earth the better. —Arden Allen
Great. Let's keep going into the other regions of Spain. And Puerto Rico, didn't the president swear to uphold the laws of the country? —Bob Howarth
I'm Catalan and I'm very proud right now! —Pepa Bagaria
Fabulous news. There is no more blatant display of wretched human barbarity than bullfighting. Finally, an end to it in one Spanish province. —Marc Paulhus

Akron police are investigating the stabbing deaths of two men found in an apartment on South Rose Boulevard.
The men, ages 53 and 20, were found with fatal stab wounds after officers were called to the apartment building at 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Later Wednesday, police issued aggravated murder warrants for Robert Pitts Jr., 19, who reportedly had been living on the same street for the past couple of weeks.
Police say he should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone knowing his whereabouts is asked to call 330-375-2490. Callers can remain anonymous.
Akron police said they went to the apartment in response to a request to check on the welfare of the residents. They entered an unlocked door and found the bodies inside.
One of the victim's vehicles, a black 2006 Jeep Liberty, was missing. It later was located in Ashtabula.
The identities of the victims have not been released pending notification of relatives.
Autopsies were to be conducted Wednesday at the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office.
The incident is the third reported multiple homicide in Summit County in 2013. A couple was murdered in their New Franklin home in early April and four people were found shot to death in the Chapel Hill Mall area in Akron in late April.

" Munster Hotel, Thurles Co. Tipperary. "
Pheobies was one of the best clubs in Munster when it was open. The place was massive. They use to get big name djs to play there. 2fm sessions use to play there quite often. They use to do the all drinks £1, every Thursday. Thats has stopped anyway due to new legislation coming into play with regard the use of happy hour and drink promotions. This was all part of the governments big clamp down on binge drinking that never worked and never will work. The only way to prevent binge drinking is to replace the drinking with something else, i.e. binge eating or binge drug taking.
Anyway people still talk about those days when drinks were so cheap. I never bought so many drinks for other people as I did those nights. hey can I buy you a drink and all your friends and still end up with change from a tener.
Sadly the place doesnt exist anymore. It is now a storeroom for everything thats broken or needs fixing in the Anner or Hayes. Its lights and sound systems have been uprooted and put into Hayes. But as a storeroom I would give it four out of five due to it being too large. oh ya and the hotel was so badly designed that the whole basement is now flooded. That is what happens when you get a Kerryman to design a hotel. also the let all the leaks go unattended to so the water has to go some where. that hotel was some waste of money. it is mainly closed 2/3 of the year. Sure when do you see tourist in Thurles except when they are lost?

From product announcements to guacamole contests, welcome to the wonderful world of Everplans.
On May 29, 2013, an event that many in the funeral industry had been anticipating for years finally came to fruition: Service Corporation International (SCI), America's largest provider of funeral, cremation and cemetery services, acquired the second largest, Stewart Enterprises.
In the New York Times this week there was a piece on the importance of talking with your parents about their financial affairs. We couldn't agree more.
Judy MacDonald Johnston, creator of Good [End Of] Life, gave a powerful talk at the TED conference this year. It inspired us; we hope it inspires you.
How much planning have you done? How does it compare to the amount of planning done on average in this country?
How does a funeral home advertise its services without being crass, creepy, or morbid? A Japanese funeral home, Nishinihon Tenrei, has tried (and succeeded, we think) by creating a beautiful ad featuring a skeleton made from pressed flowers.
This Sunday, as is tradition in the United States on the second Sunday in May, children will celebrate their mothers with cards and flowers and drugstore chocolates—the single day of the year when mothers are supposed to be pampered and recognized for all that they do.
An obituary that ran in a Portland, Oregon newspaper last week featured some unmistakably familiar names...
We know it's not the most fun-times subject, but organizing and sharing your online assets (aka your digital assets, aka your digital estate, aka your digital afterlife) is a hugely important, never-before-faced issue that all of us who live on the Internet are going to have to deal with. (If you're reading this blog post, there's a pretty good chance you spend quite a bit of your life online, like we do.)
Everplans is on a mission to make planning easier for you and your family, and digital estate planning and account info organization is a big part of that. The blog TechHive thinks so too, and has included Everplans in an article on "how to get your online assets in order for when you die," along with our friends at Personal.com.
We like Personal because they have a simple system for online storage that allows you to give access to different pieces of information to different people in your family. Plus, it's also available as an iPhone app, which just makes everything easier. Everplans and Personal have created a special page where you can store all the information and documents that are especially relevant to end-of-life planning. Click here to check it out and get started managing your digital estate.
Gretchen Rubin, author of the mega-bestselling book The Happiness Project, gave Everplans a lovely shout-out on her blog this weekend.


text: Plan Sponsor Guide Participant Guide Stool Pitching Helping workers understand the full picture Much has been written about the growing instability of the vaunted three-legged stool of retirement savings security. Social Security remains in what seems to be a perpetual precarious state, pension plans are not as common as they once were (or as we once believed they were), and the parsimonious national savings rate is routinely reported. For a growing number of workers, their plan for retirement income is nothing more than what they think they can afford to save in their workplace retirement plan—and hope. This month, KnowHow takes a look at the components of that three-legged stool—Social Security, personal savings, and workplace retirement programs—in an effort to help your participants gain a better understanding of the multifaceted approach to building true retirement income security that is available. There are things you can do to help participants with this exercise. If you offer a pension plan, you can refer them to the best place to find that annual benefit approximation, whether on an annual benefit statement or online. Similarly, if you offer access to a retirement needs projector, that can offer a valuable—and certainly more precise—perspective than the relatively simplistic approaches outlined here. You also might want to reference KnowHow from July 2008 ("Quick Check") for a quick "back of a napkin" way to calculate retirement income needs. Thanks again for your continued support of this feature. I look forward to your feedback! —Nevin E. Adams, JD email@example.com Back to KnowHow Archives

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/8/2013 (1428 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
MANITOBA prosecutors have won a rarely needed court order barring a man charged with sex-related and child pornography offences from personally challenging testimony given by his alleged victims at an upcoming hearing.
As a January preliminary inquiry looms for Darrell Ackman, 43, senior Crown attorney Jennifer Mann went to court Wednesday and was granted an order requiring the state to appoint a lawyer for the purpose of cross-examining select witnesses in his widely publicized case.
The Crown brought the application out of concern Ackman -- who has already parted ways with one lawyer -- won't have counsel and would be in a position to directly question the several young women and teen girls involved in his case when they testify.
Ackman was arrested last year for allegedly recruiting teen runaways for porn videos.
He's also facing several child prostitution-related charges.
Mann said the "exploitive" relationship between Ackman and the victims creates a situation where there's "real concern" they wouldn't provide a "full and candid account" to the court when testifying. "Not having legal counsel... quite frankly, would be a recipe for disaster," Mann told provincial court Judge Anne Krahn.
Krahn's order allows Legal Aid to appoint a lawyer to challenge the testimony of eight witnesses in the case at the preliminary hearing.
Ackman is currently represented by lawyer Zilla Jones, so the order could be moot.
But Mann pursued it anyway in the event the lawyer-client relationship doesn't last.
Ackman has signalled in the past he wanted to represent himself and did so at a May bail hearing where he was denied another shot at pretrial freedom.
Ackman was rearrested that month after several witnesses contacted police stating he was putting up posters near Grant Park High School and the U of W Collegiate recruiting attractive people for a movie about his life.
He denies he breached his bail and plans to apply to the Court of Queen's Bench later this month for a review.

National Australia Bank could not say when the payment troubles, potentially affecting thousands of its customers, will be resolved, nearly a day after the problems surfaced.
The bank said it will open 100 banks today to assist any it has failed to credit.
NAB released a statement on Friday evening which said it would have additional staff in its Customer Contact Centre over the weekend to answer customer queries.
''For affected business bank customers, our bankers will be available over the weekend to respond to customer inquiries,'' the spokesman said.
''Business bankers will be available in NAB branches which are opening extended hours. Our contact centres will also open over the weekend.''
Customers said they did not receive their usual pay transfers on Thursday morning. ANZ Bank, the Commonwealth Bank and Westpac customers whose employers bank with NAB reported similar delays.
''NAB is currently experiencing some delays, some transactions may not be appearing in customer accounts and some account balances may not be up to date,'' the bank said on its website yesterday morning. The bank said it would continue to update the public as more information became available.
''We are working to rectify the situation and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause,'' the bank said.
The issue for NAB came just months after a failure prevented thousands of people from receiving their funds last year.
NAB's rivals moved quickly to address their customers' concerns in light of the issue.
The Commonwealth Bank and Westpac said they would refund late payment fees charged to their customers' accounts as a result of the NAB system problem. ANZ was not available for comment.
One Hobart customer said he did not receive $8000 in payments, the first part of which was due early on Thursday.
"I suspect [the problems] started yesterday morning as payroll and deposits have failed [on] Thursday and Friday," an NAB customer, Dylan Parrant, said.
A St George Bank customer in Sydney, Yasmin Border, said she had not received her pay because her employer banked with NAB.
''It's pretty annoying that my rent is going to be late because of NAB, [which] I am purposely not with because of all the issues that they have,'' she said.
Customers at Citi, HSBC, St George and Macquarie Bank were also hit by the NAB-related payment glitch.
An employee of a Melbourne payroll company said $400,000 in payments were not made yesterday morning because of the problems.
He said NAB advised the company that account totals on the business banking site, NAB Connect, should not be taken as ''100 per cent correct''.
''We processed it from our end; we've only found out this morning that NAB systems went down and that it didn't go through to people who were expected to get those payments,'' he said.
The glitch has also hit NAB-owned UBank, which posted on Twitter that ''some account balances may not be up to date''.
Payments to NAB customers and those with other banks were thrown into chaos at the end of last year after a failure of the bank's computer payment system. The problem forced NAB to take out newspaper advertisements to apologise and open branches at the weekend to accommodate customers.
Before posting the update on the bank's current troubles, NAB had warned customers of a delay on payments and bills made through the Easter weekend.
The bank said any fund transfers or bill payments made after Thursday, April 21, would not be processed until Wednesday, April 27.
The bank has warned customers needing funds in accounts before Good Friday, April 22, to transfer their funds before Wednesday, April 20.

Interleukin-1 beta (IL1 beta or IL1B) also known as catabolin, is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. IL1 is a pleiotropic cytokine. It is involved in the inflammatory response, cell growth, and tissue repair in the cortex. The IL1 superfamily consists of three members, IL1A (IL1 alpha), IL1B (IL1 beta), and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1Ra). In clinical, it has been reported that Interleukin (IL)-1 may influence Th1 / Th2 immune responsiveness and has been implicated in the establishment of successful pregnancy. Proinflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 gene polymorphisms associated with high levels of IL-1beta activity increase the risk for hypochlorhydria and distal gastric carcinoma. IL1B polymorphisms may be involved in susceptibility to SSc. Moreover, the IL2-384-G allele may be a marker for the limited phenotype of systemic sclerosis (SSc).

Savannah has many historic locations that arouse your fascination and curiosity. Here are the top ten historic sites in Savannah. We recommend that you check it if you're touring the area, or just looking to learn something new:
#10 Telfair Museum of Art
The oldest art museum in the South, on Telfair square, was once home to the prominent patron of the arts Mary Telfair. Since 1875, the mansion has served as an art museum and academy of art and science offering classes, events, and numerous collections and exhibits.
#9 Tomo-chi-chi Gravesite
The second monument erected in honor of Chief Tomo-chi-chi can be found in Wright Square, just feet away from the original grave mound, which was destroyed to build the Gordon Monument. Visitors can learn about the integral role he played in the founding of Savannah. It is the only memorial built for a Native American by descendants of European settlers.
#8 Factors Walk / Bay Street / River Street
What was once a prominent center of commerce for Savannah is now simply a collection of historic buildings turned into an eclectic array of shops, inns, and restaurants. Tourists often come to the area to relish the old world architecture and cobblestone paved streets while enjoying their evening meal.
#7 Historic Beach Institute
First serving as an educational facility for newly freed slaves, the Beach Institute became a free public school for African-American children in 1875. It now houses an African-American Cultural Center and collection of wood carvings by Ulysses Davis.
#6 Mickve Israel Synagogue
Founded in 1733, this active Jewish Congregation is the third oldest in America. The temple on Monterey Square is the only synagogue in America with Gothic style architecture. Touring is welcomed, but because this is an active temple be aware of services, Jewish and federal holidays, and other events which may take place. A calendar of events is available on their website.
#5 Scarbrough House
This elegant mansion built in 1819 once served as home to William Scarbrough, then the president of the Savannah Steamship Company. It now houses the Ships of the Sea Maritime Museum, which features ship models, paintings, and maritime antiques. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday and offers extra activities for large groups.
#4 Davenport House
Threatened with demolition in the mid 1950's, the Davenport House was a run-down building with little historical significance. Luckily, the Historic Savannah Foundation secured the building as their first act to preserve Savannah's historic buildings. All three floors of the home on Columbia Square underwent an authentic restoration in the early 1990's and are open for public viewing.
#3 Cotton Exchange
The Old Savannah Cotton Exchange building is a remarkable reminder of Savannah's heyday as the leading cotton seaport on the Atlantic. While the building had not been open for public viewing since it closed in the 1920's, the Old Savannah Cotton Exchange now homes the Savannah Chamber of Commerce, which invites you to stop by anytime.
#2 Andrew Low House
Another of Savannah's historic homes, this Italian Villa style home on Lafayette Square offers a rich history of housing prominent historical figures such as William Thackery and Robert E. Lee. Guided tours are available by calling ahead.
#1 Historic Savannah Squares
Perhaps the key focal point of Historic Savannah, these twenty-two remaining squares define the downtown Historic District. As part of the original design of the city, the squares provide Savannah with an unequaled presence of beauty, and offer visitors a look back into the rich history of the city.
If you're looking to visit Savannah, we'd be happy to make your reservation.
Enjoy your time in Savannah as you visit these different locations! You can find our Top 10 Romantic Places in Savannah post here.

Birmingham-Southern College Habitat for Humanity chapter receives State Farm grant
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The student chapter of Habitat for Humanity at Birmingham-Southern College has been selected to receive a 2010-11 State Farm Insurance $2,000 matching grant for its outstanding work in building safe, decent, and affordable homes.
With this matching grant, State Farm challenges the recipients to raise an amount equal to the grant before May 15, 2011, and to donate it to their affiliate chapter to receive the matching funds. BSC is partnered with the local affiliate, Habitat Birmingham.
The Birmingham-Southern Habitat for Humanity chapter is led by Swaroop Vitta, a junior economics major from Hoover. He says scheduled fundraising activities for the grant will include selling T-shirts and a letter writing campaign.
"We are grateful to have been selected as one of the matching grant recipients," said Vitta. "The grant will help us to continue to make a difference in the lives of people in need of affordable housing."
The Habitat chapter at BSC is one of 29 campus chapters nationwide to be awarded a matching grant from State Farm, the national corporate sponsor of Habitat for Humanity's youth programs.
Since the BSC chapter of Habitat for Humanity was re-established on campus in April 2009, the organization has helped build several homes around the Birmingham area.

Chicago (AFP) April 7, 2008
Chinese- and English-speaking dyslexics have different neurological deficits, according to a study released Monday which suggests that dyslexia may be different brain disorders in the two cultures.
English speakers with the reading disability typically have functional abnormalities in posterior parts of the brain associated with reading and possibly less gray matter in these areas also.
In Chinese dyslexics, on the other hand, the functional and structural brain abnormalities related to reading correspond with the left middle frontal region of the brain, according to new research.
The new research is based on brain scans performed on 16 dyslexic Chinese speakers and 16 of their peers with normal reading ability during the course of a couple of tests.
Researchers first asked the 32 Beijing primary school students to look at two Chinese characters in different size font to see if they could identify the difference in size.
Having used this question to establish which part of their brains was involved with reading, the investigators then presented the students with two more Chinese characters and asked them if the two characters rhymed.
The second question was designed to test the students' phonological awareness, their sensitivity to the sound structure of language, which is considered an important and reliable predictor of reading ability.
The scans revealed that the students with the reading disability had less activity in the left middle frontal gyrus on the second task than the children without the disability.
They also had less gray matter in this brain region than the children with normal reading skills.
Further, the Chinese dyslexic children did not have any abnormalities in the parts of the brain that have been shown to be problematic in alphabetic-language dyslexics.
While surprising, the contrast can be explained by the fact that the Chinese language uses characters, while English uses a letter alphabet, one of the researchers said.
"At the functional level, it's easy to understand why Chinese and English speakers use different parts of the brain to read language," said Li-Hai Tan, a professor of linguistics and neuroscience at the University of Hong Kong, and author on the paper.
"The different brain networks accommodate the different features of English and Chinese. The two systems are dramatically different. Chinese is pictographic and English is more phonological, or sound-based."
However, he said that it was striking that the Chinese dyslexic children had less gray matter in the middle frontal gyrus, and that was probably a function of genetics, since this phenomenon is thought to be largely genetic.
This would suggest that the genetic makeup of Chinese speaking dyslexics is different from that of English speakers with the same disorder since they have reductions of gray matter in different sites of the brain.
The study involved researchers from the University of Hong Kong, the Beijing Institute of Technology, and the University of Pittsburgh and appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Scientists Reshape Y Chromosome Haplogroup Tree Gaining New Insights Into Human Ancestry
Cold Spring Harbor NY (SPX) Apr 04, 2008
The Y chromosome retains a remarkable record of human ancestry, since it is passed directly from father to son. In an article published in Genome Research, scientists have utilized recently described genetic variations on the part of the Y chromosome that does not undergo recombination to significantly update and refine the Y chromosome haplogroup tree.
