This entire month is being dedicated to getting organized. Of course! It's when people make resolutions that they absolutely want to keep. Getting organized is one of them.
In order for you to take ownership of this resolution, here are some tips that will help you get started. Take the entire month to do this, in one or two-hour sessions, at most.
In your home, start organizing with the kitchen. Generally, the kitchen is the place that usually gets the most cluttered and looks the messiest. Follow the steps below:
1. Pick one upper cabinet and remove items that you are not using, have never used and probably never will use. Put those items in a box and put the box in a room where you will not trip over it, and where it will not be an eyesore the minute you walk into the house. Do not do anything else with this cabinet right now. The room you have freed up may come in handy once you've gone through all the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen.
2. Pick one drawer in the kitchen and do the same process you did for the cabinet. If there is room in the box that you used for the upper cabinet, then put all the unused items in that box also. If there is no room, grab another box (any kind of box will do, or even a heavy-duty shopping or tote bag).
3. Both of the above items together may take you up to one or two hours, so stop for the day.
4. The next day, go through a lower cabinet and just remove unused or unwanted or broken items. Put in a box (throw away the broken item unless you can really fix it!).
5. If you have time after doing the lower cabinet, pick another drawer to go through.
6. Continue with this regimen until you have gone through all the cabinets and drawers in the kitchen. Remember, you have the remainder of the month to do this.
I will give you further instructions for the kitchen next time!
'Til then . . . Coach Sheila of clutter STOP®

You know in my opinion the best way to handle this is for each company to
include a statement in the "Welcome to the company" letters most companies
have that states that there is a surname project for your surname... click
here if you would like to join it..
That gives the person ordering the test, full control of their results but
makes the customer aware that there is a surname project.
It is simple and does not force anyone into anything.. it also helps each
surname project recruit members..

Subject: Re: [DNA] Surname Challenges - FTDNA on the Case
Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:06:59 -0600
I know I said let's table things for a bit to see what comes from
FTDNA, but I feel I need to answer this one...
First, something I have to make very clear... I am for
participants. That is where my allegiance lies. Not to a specific lab,
not to a specific project, but participants regardless of the surname.
My job as project administrator, as I see it, is to mediate between the
participant and the rest of the world, to guide, to teach, to empower.
When that person pays their money to test, they are saying "I am
dedicated to finding all the information I can about my ancestry" and
they are looking to me to help get that information for them. That is
why I am pushing so much on this issue. I feel deeply that this issue
lies at the heart of every participants best interest.
Next, no FTDNA is not planning on forcing the participants into a
surname project. There are clearly still too many issues about
"control" for folks to look at the simple thought that if a person signs
the release form, they are giving at a minimum some level of implied
consent to share their information. Heck, it may be just as simple as
modifying the wording of the release to say something to the effect of
"if a project exists for your surname, your results will be shared with
that project to determine if a genetic match exists". What is so dog
gone evil about that?? I feel like this is heading for a Ludlumesque
ending of who knows what, who's entitled to know what and who gets to
pull the strings, the end game being the collapse of genetic genealogy
because there was not enough sharing of information.
---> It is difficult enough to
interest people in genetic genealogy without those who feel entitled to
others information taking even the slightest bit of control away from them.
I am not sure where this entire sense of "admin entitlement" came
from...isn't it supposed to be that the participant is entitled to all
of the information possible?? And do you think it's helping relieve the
difficulty by saying, "well, I can only compare you against SOME of the
other <enter surname here> testers because, well, not everybody
shares." And, I think there is WAY too much credibility given to this
notion of participant control. Sure, a given number of participants
understand things well enough to know how to choose which projects they
want to be a part of. But, I firmly believe that by and large, a lot of
folks are "guessing". How do I come to this? Simple...I asked. I did
a little poll of folks who came into the project after they had tested
and asked them why they didn't join the project right off...the answer
every time was "I didn't know there was just a Williams project..."
---> It is none of your business what others do with their individual
results or
how they manage their projects.
I think not only are we entitled but we are also responsible to give
input to the way projects are being run. I am not omnipotent, I know
this and have ALWAYS asked both participants and peers for feedback on
how to improve the project I run. I think it's everyone's business how
we run our projects for two reasons. First, we have a greater
responsibility to the people taking the tests than we have to our own
pride. We admins are charged with the very difficult task of guiding
people thru the maze. Some admins are stronger than others and if we
stop helping each other out, including giving suggestions for
improvement, then we do so at our own demise. Because the 2nd reason is
that bad news is the most effective kind of marketing on the planet. The
livelihood of genetic genealogy rest squarely on our shoulders. It's up
to us to make sense of the complex information and guide the
participants. In the end they control the success/failure of our
projects and how we manage those projects determines how the
participants react.
Kind regards,
Adrian Williams

Priority Themes And Issues In International Research In Mathematics Education
English, Lyn D. (2002) Priority Themes And Issues In International Research In Mathematics Education. In English, Lyn D. (Ed.) Handbook of international research in mathematics education: Directions for the 21st century. Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Mahwah, N.J., pp. 3-15.
This introductory chapter has provided the background and context for the chapters that follow. In closing, it is worth returning to the overall goal of this Handbook, namely, to advance the discipline of mathematics education in both theory and practice. In achieving this goal, it is imperative that we rethink the nature of the mathematics and the mathematical experiences we are providing our young generation of learners, the future of our nations. We cannot simply transport the mathematics of the last century into today's curricula and assume that we are equipping learners with the mathematical power needed for their success in the 21st century. We must give careful thought to what aspects of 20th century mathematics should be discarded, what should be retained, what should be modified, and what new ideas and experiences should be incorporated. Importantly, these curriculum decisions need to be informed by sound research.

Alleged assassination plot spurs moves to isolate Iran
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration launched a campaign on Wednesday to further isolate Iran following the disclosure of a foiled assassination plot on U.S. soil alleged to have been backed by the Iranian government.
Vice President Biden said the U.S. would be taking its case against Iran to allies in an attempt to restrict the Iranian government's global commercial and political activities after the administration accused Iran of supporting a plan to kill the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S., Adel Al-Jubeir, by bombing a Washington restaurant.
Iran has denied the allegations.
"Our whole attempt here is to make sure that there is accountability for Iran and that there's a further isolation of Iran in terms of their ability to operate around the world," Biden said on NBC's Today show.
Separately, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called the attack plan "a violation of international law and a dangerous escalation of the Iranian government's use of political violence.''
Adel Al-Jubeir, Saudi Ambassador to the U.S.
The administration officials' comments were quickly followed Wednesday by a condemnation of the alleged plot from a coalition of Persian Gulf nations: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
Abdul Latif al-Zayani, the Gulf Cooperation Council's secretary-general, called the planned attack a "flagrant violation" of law and other international agreements.
The U.S. Treasury Department also announced sanctions against Mahan Air, an Iranian commercial airline, for assisting the secret operations of the Quds Force of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which U.S. prosecutors have linked to the plan.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who was briefed on the investigation, said she did not believe a U.S. military response was appropriate. She said the U.S. needs to "explore whether there are other plots going on in other countries.''
Meanwhile, the attack plan highlights a concern of U.S. counterterrorism officials: that terrorists could exploit the U.S.-Mexican border to launch assaults against the United States.
The plan to assassinate Al-Jubeir actively sought to enlist associates of Mexico's violent cartel networks to carry out the assault in Washington, according to federal court documents.
"There is always a concern when you have the chaotic situation that now exists" in Mexico, said Ali Soufan, a former FBI agent who oversaw numerous federal terrorism investigations.
According to court documents, Manssor Arbabsiar, the U.S. citizen charged in the plot, was directed by a cousin in Iran to "find someone in the narcotics business" to carry out the plot because of Arbabsiar's proximity to Mexico. At the time, he was working as a used-car salesman in South Texas.
The cousin was described by prosecutors as "a high-ranking member of the Iranian Quds Force.''
Arbabsiar was later directed to a Mexican drug contact, who was actually an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and who ultimately foiled the plot, authorities said.
Arbabsiar found the Mexican contact through the informant's aunt, who had developed a friendship with the Arbabsiar while he worked in Corpus Christi, Texas, said a federal law enforcement official who has been briefed on the matter. The official declined to be identified because he was not authorized to comment publicly about the case.
In subsequent meetings in Mexico, Arbabsiar came to believe that the informant was a member of the violent Zetas drug-trafficking organization who would assist in executing the attack plan, the official said.
Former White House drug czar Barry McCaffrey said the $1.5 million murder-for-hire plan, although flawed, offers "unsettling insight into one of the most powerful secret organizations in Iran.''
McCaffrey said it also should serve as a warning of the threat posed by instability in Mexico.
"We've got to wake up,'' he said.

Work to turn the last single carriageway stretch of the A11 through Suffolk and Norfolk into a dual carriageway has been brought forward.
The work between Fiveways at Barton Mills, Suffolk, and Thetford, Norfolk, will be brought forward from 2012/13.
Subject to the consideration of any objections, the project is now scheduled to start in autumn 2010.
This would enable the stretch to open to traffic in early 2013, 18 months ahead of the previous timetable.
Transport Secretary Geoff Hoon said: "I have asked the Highways Agency to work towards delivering this much needed scheme to dual the last single carriageway stretch of the A11 at the earliest opportunity."
Ease congestion
He said the work was a top priority which would mean "increased capacity, improved journey times and safety, and provide a big boost to the region's economy".
"It will also provide better value for money, costing around £8m less than it would to start work in 2012/13," said Mr Hoon.
Barbara Follett, Regional Minister for the East of England, described it as great news for the region and would "boost the economy during these difficult times".
Roger Hawkins, project manager for the Highways Agency, said: "Completing the dualing of the A11 between the M11 and Norwich will significantly contribute to improving journey time reliability and ease congestion.
'End of lethal stretch'
"The scheme includes a bypass that will take traffic away from Elveden, bringing substantial benefits to the village which has Conservation Area status."
Daniel Cox, leader of Norfolk County Council, said: "I am absolutely delighted with the news because of the very positive benefits this will bring to the Norfolk economy.
"This victory could not have been achieved without the tremendous backing the campaign has received from the public, in Norfolk, Suffolk and further afield.
"Achieving a 2010 start date was always an ambitious target, but I am highly ambitious for Norfolk - and thrilled to have hit the target in such style."
Norwich City Council leader Steve Morphew said: "This is terrific news for Norwich.
"Apart from being a big boost to business confidence just when we need it, the end of that lethal stretch of road will be a relief to everybody who travels along the A11."

And now we have 18 players bearing the franchise tag.
Buccaneers K Connor Barth earned the designation Monday, making him the third kicker today and fifth overall. He made his last 15 FGs in 2011 and converted 26 of 28 attempts for a team single-season record accuracy rate of 92.9%.
Tampa Bay also announced that it had re-signed G Jeremy Zuttah to a four-year deal.
"(GM) Mark (Dominik) and I agreed keeping Jeremy on our football team was one of our priorities this offseason. He is a young, talented player, who we both know very well. We are pleased we could get this deal done and secure Jeremy for years to come," said new HC Greg Schiano in a statement.

This was Hall of Famer Gale Sayers like you've never seen him and like you've never heard him before.
The legendary Chicago Bears running back was so emotional, expressing both rage and sadness, he did everything he could to hold back tears.
The scene happened Wednesday night while filming a TV interview with Comcast SportsNet Chicago's David Kaplan, who brought up the suspensions related to the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal.
That was all it took to set off Sayers.
"Those fools should never get a chance to play or coach in the game again -- never!" Sayers said, leaning forward and literally pointing fingers. "How can you do that? I have never had anyone say, 'I'm going to break your arm.'
"They should never go out and play this game again, go out and coach this game again."
Kaplan then mentioned that there are people out there who believe the Saints' offenders should be jailed for their actions.
"Damn right they should," Sayers said. "Yes, they should."
It's not too difficult to understand why Sayers feels so passionately about this issue. After all, his career was limited to just seven years because of knee injuries, so it's understandable that a man like him would advocate for more player safety.
Nobody could ever imagine watching him express it like this, though.

|Lady Panthers ready for state meet
|Bobby "Butch" Burney | News-Telegram Sports Editor
May 10, 2006 - BIRTHRIGHT - Going to state is never old hat, but four North Hopkins girls certainly know what to expect because they've all been there before.
Sprinter/jumper Ebbonye Johnson and distance runner Sabra Thomas are both competing in their third state track meet this weekend in Austin, while senior thrower Katy Williams is in her second. Sophomore distance runner Jessi Mannis will be running in her first state track event, but like the other girls has been to state numerous times in cross country.
"We've got some experience, so hopefully we won't be wide-eyed when we get there," said NH coach Tim Menke. "We've tried taking them to a lot of big meets, plus these kids have a lot of big meet experience and big game experience in cross country, basketball, volleyball and track."
Johnson, a junior who has already had a sensational high school career with three state medals, will be competing in four events - the 200-meter dash, 400, long jump and high jump. Mannis and Thomas are both in the 3,200 and 1,600 runs, and Williams is throwing both the shot put and discus.
With all of the girls in multiple events, Menke is hoping the Lady Panthers can break into the top three in the team standings. North Hopkins scored 19 points last year - Johnson may score more than that herself this time around.
She has the top qualifying high jump in Class A - having cleared 5-6 four times this year - the second-best 400-meter time (60.48), the third-best long jump (18-1 1/2), and the sixth-best 200 time (26.43).
Last year, she participated in five events at state, but did not qualify in the 100 this year. That may actually work out for the best. Because of the track schedule, the 100 takes place immediately after the high jump, then there is only 30 minutes before the 400 and another 40 minutes until the 200.
"I am hoping that it will be easier," Johnson said of the fewer events. "It should work out better for me."
Menke pointed out that last year she was in a time bind.
"That 100 is right after the high jump, and last year we asked if she could check in at the track, but things got confused," Menke said. "They had her go up a flight of stairs up behind the stadium, and she had to do that about three times, and it really messed her up in the high jump. I think it will be less stress on her this year."
Johnson said there already is less pressure in Austin than at the Class A, Region III meet.
"Actually for me, regional is the hardest meet," she explained. "I'm very nervous at regional, and once you get to state some of the pressure is off because you're there. The pressure is to get to state."
For Williams, who has been part of the state championship cross country team and is a three-time All-State center in basketball, getting to state is expected.
"I think we kind of take going to state for granted," she said because North Hopkins seemingly always takes a healthy number of participants. "But, I guess it's just that goal that I have to make it to state."
She goes into the competition with the fifth-best qualifying mark in the shot put (37 feet, 3 inches) and the seventh-best discus throw (109-6). She is within reach of getting on the medal stand in both events.
"I'm at the point that it's almost here, and it's too late to worry about how you'll do. I've just got to go out there and do it," she said. "I just want to place, get some points.
"If I can get a 39 or a 38, then I'll be in the running for a place in the shot. Then, in the discus, I just want to get my best throw which hopefully will be something over 115. I might have a chance with that. It's tough competition this year."
Mannis and Thomas know going into the meet that it may take their best run of the year to get on the medal stand. But, that's what they are planning for.
"I'm going to have to run faster to keep up with them," Mannis said of the competition. "I'm going to run my race. I'm going to have to run with the fastest girl out there, and I think it will actually make me run faster."
She timed a 12:10.01 in the 3,200 to win the regional meet, but she has dipped under 12 minutes this year. She has a goal of 11:45. Thomas ran a 12:23.06 at regional and she also wants to get into the 11's.
In the 1,600, Mannis goes into the race with the second-best qualifying time of 5:29.57, while Thomas has the fifth-fastest mark of 5:36.98.
For Thomas, the key will be to envision herself among the leaders, she said.
"I'm going to have to have a positive attitude. Coach Menke has been drilling me on staying positive," she explained. "I need to go into the race thinking I'm as good as everyone else and not get myself beat before the race even starts.
"Really, all the training we do is geared to get us to state and do good there."
And, train they do. The distance girls put in about 49 miles per week including a seven-mile run on Mondays and two interval sessions per week.
"Coach Menke talks about state every day," Mannis said. "That's what we train for.
"It's worth it in the end."

Web debris: Cruise, "Sin City," Leary and Loy on Eastwood and "Closer"
So, here are a few pieces I stumbled across today...A mind-boggling update on director Todd Haynes' spectacularly weird concept for a movie about Bob Dylan. I cannot wait to see this. Haynes said he wanted to capture the many aspects of Dylan's character, and his solution was a "multiple refracted biopic" in which Dylan would be played, among others, by an 11-year-old black boy and a young white woman. I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan, now going ahead via Paramount, … [Read more...]

The rainbow that struck Greg Sedgwick when he signed up to run
I'm not one to complain about how much a managing director, or any senior manager, makes from running a company well, especially if it was achieved over an extended tenure. But that is not something we can accuse Sedgwick of doing. When he took over the reins of the group back in January 1, 2004, the share price was sitting at $8.82. Before Fletcher Building came to the rescue with its takeover bid late in 2010, the share price was bumping along at $7.71, suffering from a series of earnings downgrades. The capital loss for shareholders over the period was 12.5 per cent. In comparison the benchmark All Ordinaries Index managed to post a return of about 46 per cent.
From a profit point of view, the situation doesn't look any better. Crane Group delivered a profit of $38.6 million in its first full year under Sedgwick, and this had fallen to $31.9 million in 2010, his last year at the company. While there are many swings and roundabouts regarding a business over a seven-year period, the one fact that cannot be ignored is the staggering amount Sedgwick and some members of his team were paid during this period. In 2010 the board attempted to pay Sedgwick $4.35 million, only to have the remuneration report voted down at the AGM. This would have amounted to 13.6 per cent of the net profit after tax. If the same process was used at BHP, Marius Kloppers would have been entitled to a pay packet of $1.7 billion on a profit of $12.4 billion for the 2010 financial year. Instead, Kloppers managed to receive a pay packet of $4.4 million, only just pipping Sedgwick. While this example shouldn't be taken on face value, it does make a point.
Should Sedgwick be pilloried for his bulging pay packet? To some extent, but the blame must lay with the Crane board that agreed to pay him this amount over time. To agree to a five-year deal upfront, including a sign-on bonus of $500,000, is just too generous for any managing director. A managing director is the major decision-maker in a company and deserves to be well paid, but he should not have an insurance policy if things don't work out. The downside of not making the right decisions and not doing a good job for the company is that you lose your job.
Sedgwick's pay packet was made up of a base pay, superannuation, short-term performance incentives and longer term bonus incentives. In the early years, Sedgwick was granted shares as bonuses in a bid to align his interest with shareholders. As time passed, the bonuses changed composition to a mixture of shares and cash on the back of a couple of strong performance years in the middle of his tenure. All this sounds like good, textbook remuneration of a managing director, but it obviously went horribly wrong for the Crane directors. Luckily for all involved, Fletcher Building has sailed across the Tasman and lobbed a bid that looks like succeeding, following a revision upwards in value.

Capote y Toros gets full marks for ambience and impromptu Spanish dancing, but the food on our visit couldn't keep pace. The venue specialises in sherry and tapas, but you'd be better off sipping a manzanilla and listening to Spanish guitar with the singing chef, than ordering a full dinner. It's a shame, as the other two restaurants in the neighbouring trilogy (Cambio de Tercio and Tendido Cero) both execute their tapas with more refinement.
That said, there's still some innovation on the menu; reinvented patatas bravas arrived as small new potatoes hollowed out and filled with smooth tomato sauce. Pork cheeks are slow-cooked so the leaner muscles hold all the flavour; ours were just on the point of collapsing, but the oloroso sherry sauce was too sweet. A similar sauce was served with the pork meatballs. Nor did the garlic chicken bring any surprises or depth of flavour, being little more than strips of breast in garlic oil.
The sherry list does make its mark, however, containing over 100 varieties covering finos and manzanillas, amontillados and moscatels. Ask the barman for his recommendations.

UK Property Law
Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
Thanks for your question. Please kindly RATE my answer when you are satisfied
Has the agent offered to fix any of the items or have they told you along the lines of "tough" please?
Thank you for your answer,The agent offered to ring the landlord to see what he says but never got back to me. It looks like i'm going to have to pay it for the 6 months until the break clause kicks in.I can not see a way out of it.
thank you. Unfortunately, if you have signed an agreement and paid a deposit due under the agreement or rent due under the agreement, this is sufficient for the landlord to claim and enforce the contract against you. I cannot see basis you can unilaterally withdraw from the contract without the landlords consent. However, this does not mean you have no rights whatsoever…
It is possible to escape early from the tenancy by asking the landlord to remarket the same. The landlord has a common law duty to mitigate his costs and as such must do his best to remarket the property. You would be liable for reasonable marketing costs together with any reasonable agency fees. However your liability would end on the earlier of the end of your existing term or a new tenant being sourced to replace you. Alternatively you could agree the fixed compensation proposal if this is preferable to you and agreeable to the landlord. The landlord cannot refuse to do anything at all or he will find that he is limited in the amount of continuing rent he can attempt to recover.
I told the agent that we will not be moving into the property and it will stand vacant for the duration of the tenancy, it will stand unoccupied. As long as I pay it should be ok shouldn't it? I just wont live there
Notwithstanding the above, in terms of the issues you have noticed; the starting point is that you are responsible for inspecting the property before you agree to a contract and cannot subsequently withdraw from a contract on the basis of items you failed to notice. For this reason, it is very important that you satisfy yourself as to the state and condition and suitability of a property before you sign the tenancy agreement. However, the landlord has duties under statutory legislation. The Environmental Protection Act 1990 provides that the Landlord has a duty of care to provide adequate and safe conditions in his properties and the Housing Act 2004 introduced the Housing Health and Safety Rating System which shifted assessment towards health and safety impact. Each council is responsible for developing its own policy but most have a substantive list of requirements that address mould, damp and so on. There is a useful guide to the same here:
Landlords can therefore be held liable if they have failed to provide a safe and healthy environment for their tenants. You can use or threaten to use the HHSRS (as above) and ask the environmental department to carry out a health and safety assessment of the property. They have the power to serve improvement notices on the landlord to remedy any areas which do not come up to standard. The service is free so you have little to lose. If the property is declared uninhabitable the tenancy can be terminated unilaterally but only in these circumstances can the tenancy be unilaterally ended early. In these circumstances and indeed even if it is not declared uninhabitable but issues are identified you can potentially claim compensation by way of a rent reduction for the period since the issues were first notified.
Is there anything above I can clarify for you?
that's fine. The gentleman doing the inventory said the house was safe just dirty and "shoddy" as he said. I guess I am stuck with the tenancy until March. Thank you for your help, I appreciate your advice
A pleasure. Do not be afraid to exercise your rights under the above legislation however. The environment protection department at the council will be very willing to assist you in is no charge. if the house was dirty and so on, to ensure that the inventory reflects this. Despite any clause that they say to the contrary in your tenancy agreement, you cannot be required by the landlord to return the property in a state that is better than that which was provided to you unless you are very specifically negotiated and agreed such a provision which I assume would not be the case
Does the above answer all your questions or is there anything I can clarify or help you with any further?
that is all I needed to know, thank you.
A pleasure. If you have no further questions for now I should be very grateful if you would kindly take a moment to rate my service to you today. Your feedback is important to me. If there is anything else I can help with please reply back to me though.
Hello again and thank you for your help,
I have had time to think about this matter and I understand that I am responsible for the rent of this property until they get another tenant in however, do I have to pay the full amount or am I able to put it to them in writing that to pay two lots of £650 for 6 months is not financially doable and offer to pay it at a lower rate for a longer period perhaps 12 months of £325. Am I legally allowed to make this kind of offer, they get their money and no court has to be involved as I am not refusing to pay. Surely I am within some sort of rights to make the payment affordable and not live financially crippled for 6 month and not be able to afford anything else. Do I need to go see a solicitor. I was going to return the keys today, is this a good idea?
thank you.

The Capetian monarchy was saved on its eastern front at Bouvines, in that same territory.
He is little less than the second founder of the Capetian dynasty.
He had become a great officer under the Carolingians, and he grew still greater under the Capetian sovereigns.
Then, at the end of the tenth century, began the feudal monarchy under the Capetian dynasty.
The chancellor in fact became so great that the Capetian kings, who did not forget the mayor of the palace, grew afraid of him.
The Capetian domain was, for the first time, the chief among the great feudal states of France, both in wealth and extent.
The kingdom of France is usually dated from the accession of the first of the Capetian kings, late in the tenth century, 987.
Charles turned so that his big Capetian nose was outlined against the iron-gray sky.
Not to be confounded with the Royal Provost, a king's officer, who in 1160 replaced the Capetian viscounts.
Among all the families of the king's secretaries, no person will be found to dispute the throne with this Capetian princess.

A full frontal picture of naked Robert Pattinson from his upcoming drama movie, 'Little Ashes', has been found.
A picture of "Twilight" hunk Robert Pattinson in nothing but his birthday suit has made its round. Displaying the 22-year-old while he stands naked in front of a mirror, the image was posted by Perez Hilton and is taken from his forthcoming indie movie, "Little Ashes", in which the British actor portrays young Salvador Dali.
Previously, Pattinson has shared that he struggled for the naked stuff he was required to do in the movie and even got to "a nervous breakdown" after filming "extremely hard-core sex scene". "I was kind of crossing lines of what I thought I was comfortable doing," he explained as quoted in the April issue of GQ magazine. "I had to do all this naked stuff."
"Little Ashes" is set against the backdrop of Fascist Spain in 1922. It follows the love affair between Salvador Dali and poet Federico Garcia Lorcathree. Taking its title from Salvador Dali's 1927-28 painting Cenicitas, it stars Robert Pattinson as Dali, Javier Beltran as Federico Garcia Lorca and Matthew McNulty as Luis Bunuel.
This drama film comes from director Paul Morrison. It has been premiered at the 16th annual Raindance film festival in London back in October and will get its limited U.S. release on May 8. The picture of naked Robert Pattinson can be seen via Perez Hilton.

It's long been de rigueur, when reviewing soundtracks, to say that the music works without the film. I haven't seen 3:19 but am willing to bet that on this occasion, at least, Robin Guthrie's music works better with images. Guthrie has been around long enough to be underestimated or taken for granted. It's even easier when he puts out records like this one: the audio equivalent of a very sweet pill requiring no effort at all to swallow. The glistening soundscape (mainly composed of treated guitar, with piano and strings) is impressive and at times warm and emotional but lacks edge or surprise. I greatly respect Robin Guthrie; not only for the music he's created in the past decades with the Cocteau Twins and (to a lesser extent) with Harold Budd, but for his openness in demystifying the way he creates music, laying out every step and name-checking every piece of equipment. His blog is extremely entertaining and full of unpretentious wit. 3:19 is a richly layered album available in a limited edition of 3,000. In some ways it's a total success: people who see the film will seek out the soundtrack, and vice versa. This won't be Guthrie's last soundtrack commission.

John Fund's anonymously sourced voter fraud innuendo
In the third sentence of his 1,220-word innuendo-filled column [1] warning of voter fraud in the New Jersey gubernatorial election, The Wall Street Journal's John Fund writes that "if serious allegations of fraud emerge, you can also expect less-than-vigorous investigation by the Obama Justice Department."
The key word there is "if." Fund was obviously unable to come up with any actual "serious allegations" of voter fraud, so Fund -- as he does almost every [2] cycle [3] -- makes a series unserious fraud insinuations that are unconstrained by actual facts. In one passage, Fund writes:
Authorities in nearby Philadelphia know about such scams. In one infamous case, a key 1993 race that determined which party would control the Pennsylvania state senate was thrown out by a federal judge after massive evidence that hundreds of voters had been pressured into casting improper absentee ballots. Voters were told by "bearers" that it was all part of "la nueva forma de votar" -- the new way to vote. Local politicos tell me Philly operatives associated in the past with Acorn may now be advising their Jersey cousins on how to perform such vote harvesting.
That last sentence is a bit hard to follow. Let's break it down into more manageable pieces to fully appreciate what Fund is doing here.
"Local politicos tell me": Fund claims to have spoken to anonymous people who live in New Jersey and who apparently have some involvement in politics.
"Philly operatives associated in the past with Acorn": Fund's anonymous sources are purportedly telling him that unnamed people from Philadelphia who are apparently also involved in politics have -- at some point in the past -- had some undefined connection to ACORN, which by implication makes them inherently corrupt.
"may now be advising their Jersey cousins": Fund's anonymous sources purportedly tell him that the unnamed, allegedly once-ACORN-associated "operatives" from Philadelphia might be advising people apparently involved in New Jersey politics, but really, who can say for sure?
"on how to perform such vote harvesting": The advice that the unnamed allegedly once-ACORN-associated "operatives" from Philadelphia might be giving to the politically involved New Jerseyans centers around encouraging voters to vote by mail -- an activity that appears to be perfectly legal [4] in New Jersey.
So just to recap: In a single sentence, Fund claims to have spoken to anonymous New Jerseyans somehow involved in politics who purportedly told him that unnamed Philadelphians, who are also involved in politics and who once had unspecified ties to ACORN, "may" (or may not) be giving New Jersey political operatives advice on how to do something that is apparently legal in New Jersey.
No wonder Fund apparently was so unconvinced by his own column that he felt the need to lie to Glenn Beck [4] about is contents.

Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd says a leadership spill is "not in prospect" and he is getting on with his job.
Cabinet minister Simon Crean has called on Mr Rudd and Prime Minister Julia Gillard to settle their differences, describing Mr Rudd as "clearly not playing as part of the team".
"(And) if he can't be part of the team he should exit the team or challenge," Mr Crean said.
Mr Rudd told reporters in Mexico, where he is attending the G20 foreign ministers' meeting, that he was "disappointed" by Mr Crean's remarks because they were "based on an untruth".
Asked whether he would challenge Ms Gillard, Mr Rudd said: "That is not in prospect, because we have a prime minister and I am the foreign minister."
The former prime minister also dismissed reports he had canvassed the backing of independent MP Andrew Wilkie at a meeting in November 2011.
"Mr Wilkie raised other matters concerning the leadership," Mr Rudd said.
"Can I say with absolute clarity, at no stage during that conversation — or any other conversation — have I sought anyone's support for any concern on that matter as far as the leadership is concerned.
"Furthermore I am the foreign minister — we have a prime minister."

The Mesoamerica societies were settled by people migrating from the land bridge that connected Siberia across the Bering Straits to Alaska. The earliest known people to settle in the America were the Olmecs. They settled in Guatemala, Belize on the Caribbean coast. They eventually learned Neolithic techniques and became a modest farming society. Little is known about their society except that statutes indicate they worshipped nature Gods. However, this early society was followed by the Mayans in the same regions of Mesoamerica.
Early Mayans developed a farming society that adapted to their environment in the rain forests of Guatemala. The planting consisted of their most important crop, maize or corn. They also cultivated beans, squash, peppers, avocados and papayas in this hot, tropical climate. The classical Maya society flourished from 300- 600 AD.
How were the Mayas so successful at farming in their environment? They developed a system of clearing the dense rain forests (slash and burn) and then built raised fields that caught and held rainwater. Accompanying the raised fields, were channels that could be opened to drain excess water. This allowed for further crop expansion to meet the needs of the population growth in the cities.
Who could protect these crops and farmers from the elements of the environment? The religion that surfaced was of nature Gods like the God of the Sun. The Mayans sculpted figurines of these Gods that are found to resemble the Gods of the Olmecs. http://mysteriousplaces.com/mayan/TourEntrance.html
The Mayas had build high temples stairs to conduct ceremonies that included human sacrifice to keep the crops plentiful. Why did the Mayans build such a pyramid like structure? http://www.historylink 101.com/mayan/ancient
city of
The Aztecs were a later society rooted in the Valley of Mexico. They established a major city in Tenochtitlan on a swampy island in Lake Texcoco from about 1325-1340 AD. The Aztecs relied on tribute including food from conquered peoples. Agriculture, however, was the basis of Aztec society and maize was the main source of the Aztec diet. They were able to cultivate around the Lake Texcoco a unique system of irrigation agriculture by building Chinampas that formed artificial floating islands. On these floating gardens, they raised squash, corn and beans. They also gradually filled in parts of the lake and created canals to transport goods to and from the capital City.
The Aztecs, too, built great temples to honor the nature Gods and believed that the Sun God, Huitzilopochtli, had to battle forces of darkness each night and then was reborn each morning. Why did the Aztecs perform human sacrifices conducted by the priests at the temples for all to see?
www.amigo.Mexican art and culture
Much farther to the South, in the area of Peru, the Incas built an empire, which was conquered by 1475 AD. The Incas settled in Peru however, about 1075. at the same period of time that the Aztecs conquered most of Mexico. The Incas had need of a farming system that adapted to their environment. The Incas were originally fishermen that learned some farming and moved inland. They began to use the steep slopes of the Andes To gain additional farmland, the Incas used additional farmland and developed walls to hold terraces for growing crops. All land of the Inca farm belonged to the community. Farmers grew crops in different fields. (i.e. a filed for the sun God, used for priests, a field used for the state, a filed of the sick orphans, widows and those away on government service in the sprawling empire of the western shores of South America or a filed assigned tot he needs of the individual families.
www.phschool.com link to Macchu Picchu,Peru
The terraced farms of course, deserved the support of the Gods and high temples were also built to honor the many Gods that were nature gods, like all the Mesoamerican societies. The architecture of the Incas temples was similar to the Aztecs.
You are going to report on the experimental ways that these populations are trying to improve their agricultural needs for the growing populations of each society of Mesoamerica. As part of that effort, there needs to be a presentation that must include a role for each member of the group. One member will write a 2 to 3 page report that will describe the unique farming methods to be used by that society. Another will present some pictures or illustrations with captions describing the pictures. Another role involves a cartoon about the cultural achievements of the agricultural society. The cartoon is meant to be a snapshot of their society that relates to better crop output including farming methods, religious support and even the temples (architecture) needed to honor and appease the Gods that will help your crops.
1: In groups of three that represent one of each of the different Mesoamerican civilizations (Mayas, Aztecs, or Incas) you will be trying to persuade the ruler that basic farming can be improved by better farming methods, support from the nature Gods so as to allow for more crops and any temples constructed to appease the Gods.
2: You will use the resources given below and your text material to complete the six step GLOBAL PUBLIC POLCIY ANANLYST
3: Your group will present the report, the pictures with captions and a cartoon together on a poster board or display board. This project should show your research and exemplify persuasiveness.
Use the following steps to help you complete your task: Show each of the following on your project
1- Define and describe the problem (How do you improve farming methods?)
2- Gather the evidence for this problem (use internet documents)
3- Identify cause of the problem (growing population)
4- Describe existing farming policy (reflected in religion based on nature gods
Develop solutions and/or policies to improve crop output (Why did religion become more complex, sacrifices more frequent or temples constructed higher to the sky?
5: Do a comparative analysis with another early Mesoamerican society regarding adaptation to the environment.
Step 1) Use worksheet #1 to identify the problem.
Step 2) Use worksheet #2 to gather the evidence.
Step 3) Use worksheet #3 to determine the causes of your problem.
Step 4) Use worksheet #4 to evaluate the public the policies of each society towards agricultural needs.
Step 5) Use worksheet #5
to do a comparative analysis of another policy in
The information on these worksheets will be the resource you use to complete your poster and presentation. Your poster and presentation must include information about ALL the steps above.
Further Questions that should be addressed:
How were the needs of farming reflected in religion, art and architecture?
How were the religions similar or dissimilar?
How was the architecture an extension of the need for crops and food for the society?
How were religious practices changed to improve farming output?
Can the society undergo a transformation without human sacrifices?

AUDIO: Cleveland Police supervisors disciplined
(Cleveland) — Cleveland Police say a dozen supervisors are being disciplined after a chase in which officers fired 137 shots and killed a fleeing driver and his passenger.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and the police chief detailed the results of the disciplinary review at a news conference Wednesday. One supervisor was fire, two others were demoted and nine others were suspended.
Click here for the entire list of those being disciplined.
Chief Michael McGrath has said supervisors failed to take control of the 19-mile chase that wound through neighborhoods before ending in a barrage of gunfire.
The county prosecutor is conducting a separate grand jury investigation into possible criminal wrongdoing in the chase last November.
The police union said the shootings were justified because the driver tried to ram an officer. Fraternal Order of Police President Brian Betly says grievances will be filed by all 12 supervisors.

Couple Battles VELCO's Plans For Tower On Mountaintop
01/04/11 7:50AM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
View a video of the Kniazev's property »
(Host) A remote mountaintop in southwest Vermont is the center of a fight between a pair of immigrant artists and Vermont's electric transmission utility.
The Vermont Electric Power Company wants to build an 80-foot radio tower on the site as part of a statewide communications network. But the artists say that the tower will ruin their plans for an art school on the property.
VPR's John Dillon has more:
(Felix Kniazev) "This is our little drawing room here, where we do little sketches and draw."
(Dillon) Ascending the circular stairs of this mountaintop home is a bit like climbing up the inside of a lighthouse. You go up and around and then emerge to a 360 degree view. But instead of waves crashing below, you see mountain ridges stretching to the horizon.
(Kniazev) Every hour or every minute is different because of the clouds and sun reflecting on the clouds. It gives you different shadows of the mountains and the trees.
(Dillon) Felix Kniazev is originally from Russia. He and his wife Olga Julinska are painters and ceramic artists based in Boston.
But their work allows them to live anywhere and three years ago they found this home on top of a 2,000-foot mountain in the tiny town of Wells southwest of Rutland. The house on Northeast Mountain was built by the son of a local businessman who included a six-story observation tower shaped like a silo. Olga says they fell in love with the place the first time they saw it.
(Julinska) "It looks a lot like Russia, for one thing. The forests, and just the weather, somehow it's just very close."
(Dillon) They first planned to use it as a summer residence, then establish an art school on the property.
The place needs some work. The observation room at the top of the tower is still unfinished. But to say the home is one of a kind is an understatement. How many living rooms let you look eye to eye with hawks soaring past in the open air?
(Kniazev) "Of course we live with the birds. You can see the eagle right there, circling around."
(Dillon) The couple hoped this literal bird's eye view would be inspiring for other artists as well. But their plans for an art school are on hold while they wage a legal fight with the Vermont Electric Power Company.
VELCO wants to upgrade an existing low-power commercial radio station's tower on the site that was used by the previous owner. The site is 60 feet from their home. But Felix and Olga say the taller tower, plus the nearby generator that would run 24 hours a day, would shatter the tranquility of their mountaintop retreat.
They say the noise would be intrusive. And they don't like the idea of VELCO's more powerful microwave antennas transmitting close to their young children and potential students.
(Julinska) "There are many, many things wrong with this project but that one's at the top of our list. So if the tower is built we would basically have to abandon this place. But the problem is this place is basically irreplaceable."
(Dillon) VELCO says the microwave radiation emitted by the facility would be well within safety limits. Yet the company didn't make a good first impression this fall when a drilling rig overturned near the artists' home. VELCO had dispatched the rig to bore test wells on the site. But as it neared the summit, the drive shaft broke and the rig hurtled down the mountain backwards. Felix was following behind with other workers and captured the horrifying moment on videotape.
(Rig Accident) "Oh! Go! Go back! No! Oh Please! No! What happened? Oh man. Call emergency, 'cause he is lying down. Call emergency!"(Dillon) Miraculously, no one was seriously injured. A small spill of coolant and oil was quickly contained.
But the incident became a public relations black eye after the video aired on the local TV news. VELCO Vice President Kerrick Johnson said the company regrets the accident.
(Johnson) "Do I wish that had not happened? Yes. But there again I will tell you, that which was not on tape, was that we tried to make every accommodation to the landowners about what time of day we were going to do that, exactly what equipment was going to go on the property."
(Dillon) VELCO says the tower is needed for a statewide radio network that would be used by utility crews to respond to power outages around Vermont.
Johnson says VELCO needs to build the new emergency communications network because the federal government has re-assigned the existing frequencies.
(Johnson) "So we have to come up with a new system by 2013. Our criteria - what we felt was important to do in constructing this system - was to the degree possible make it available to all the utilities. Secondly, we thought it made the most sense to let's use wherever possible use existing sites."
(Dillon) Felix and Olga believe VELCO has not been completely forthcoming about the project. They say the tower is also a key piece of smart grid technology. Among its many uses, a smart grid electric distribution system can instantly respond to changes in customer demand.
The couple has dug into VELCO documents and say they've learned that the smart grid will rely on a wireless communication network. That network in turn, will need towers like the one in Wells. The couple believes VELCO is trying to build the smart grid in a piecemeal fashion through projects like the one in Wells. They argue that the entire smart grid network should be reviewed by regulators.
(Julinska) "The way VELCO represents this piece of this is under the umbrella of the statewide radio project. And it's probably part of the project, but it's not the entire story."
(Dillon) VELCO executive Kerrick Johnson says the facility in Wells could be used for the smart grid network, but he says that's not the main focus of the project.
(Johnson) "Are there other uses, either piecemeal or in a more general way that might be used? Maybe. Is that any plan that exists anywhere that has a grand scheme that says how this might be used beyond a radio network? Absolutely not."
(Dillon) The dispute has ended up in court. Felix Kniazev and Olga Julinska say the VELCO proposal violates an easement that allows an existing low-power radio tower on their property.
Johnson says VELCO is trying to work out a financial settlement. But he says the company will abandon the project if necessary.For VPR News, I'm John Dillon.
