The Regions of Virginia
Print this activity sheet to do as you investigate the regions of Virginia. Use this page and your textbook to help you.
Look at the land around your house or school. Is the land flat or hilly? Is there a river or lake nearby? When we study the land, we are learning geography.
A large area where the land does not change much and the weather is often the same is called a physical region. Virginia has five physical regions.
Virginia's five physical regions are called Virginia's Coastal Plain (Tidewater), the Piedmont, the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Valley and Ridge and the Appalachian Plateau regions.
Virginia's Coastal Plain (Tidewater) Region is part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. A coastal plain is a large area of flat or gently rolling land that is bordered by a large area of water. Virginia's Coastal Plain extends inland as far as the Fall Line, a narrow zone of small waterfalls and rapids that occurs at the point where the major rivers pass over ancient rocks of the Piedmont to the eroded sands, clays, and shales of the Coastal Plain. Wide areas of Virginia's Coastal Plain are flat and low-lying. Tidal swamps and marshes border the rivers as far as the Fall Line.
The Piedmont Region is mostly rolling hills country, which rises from about 300 ft. above sea level along the Fall Line to about 1000 ft. and in places to 2000 feet at the eastern foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A small wedged-shaped area between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers has an average elevation of about 400 feet and has more fertile soils.
The Blue Ridge Mountains Region is located between the Piedmont and Valley and Ridge regions. This region is part of the Appalachian Mountain system. The Blue Ridge Mountains Region consists of a long narrow string of thickly forested mountains, which form a ridge that runs from Harpers Ferry in West Virginia southwestward across Virginia to the Carolinas. The Blue Ridge Mountains Region of Virginia reaches an average elevation of about 3000 feet above sea level in the northern sections to more than 4000 feet in the southern sections.
The Valley and Ridge is the most rugged area of the state. This region has many rocky peaks. It consists of parallel ridges and knobs that run in a northeast-to-southwest direction. These ridges are separated by lowlands and river valleys.
The Appalachian Plateau Region is located in Virginia's southwest corner and is known for its coal deposits. Most of the Appalachian Plateau Region if about 3000 feet above sea level.

5 Financials Ready to Cut You a Bigger Check - views
BALTIMORE (Stockpickr) -- It's been a pretty tepid year for the financial sector: in the last 12 months, financials have returned 6.75%, only around half the gains that the broad market has turned out over that same period. But that looks like it's changing as 2013 approaches.
>>Outwit the S&P in 2013 With 5 Hated Stocks
Investors don't much like financials right now, and I don't blame them. The combination of prolonged low interest rates and shell shock from how fast and far the financial sector fell in 2008 has kept investors from being completely comfortable seeing financials as the next hot sector -- but believe it or not, financial stocks are strengthening right now.
In spite of the fiscal cliff concerns circling Wall Street, one of the biggest places we're seeing that is in dividends. That's why we're trying to step in front of the next set of financial sector dividend hikes this week.
In other words, these five firms are getting ready to boost dividends; they just don't know it yet.
In the past few months we've had some stellar success in finding future dividend hikes just by zeroing in on a few key factors. Now we'll look at our crystal ball and try to do it again.
>>5 "Magic Formula" Stocks for 2013
For our purposes, that "crystal ball" is composed of a few factors: namely a solid balance sheet, a low payout ratio, and a history of dividend hikes. While those items don't guarantee dividend announcements in the next month or three, they do dramatically increase the odds that management will hike their cash payouts, especially as investors start to get antsy about the New Year.
Without further ado, here's a look at five stocks that could be about to increase their dividend payments in the next quarter.
JPMorgan Chase
One of the best examples of the rising relative strength of the financial sector is JPMorgan Chase (JPM). The $163-billion bank has seen its share price rally close to 30% so far in 2012, buoyed by strong fundamental performance spread over the year. It's important to remember that those gains come in spite of some conspicuous negatives such as the bank's multi-billion-dollar trading loss announcement from the spring.
JPMorgan is one of the biggest banks in the world, with more than $2 trillion in assets, and a hand in every corner of the banking business from retail to commercial to investment banking. The firm has been one of the fastest big banks to see its financial wherewithal snap back, and it's used that cash to finance big buybacks of its own deeply discounted shares. That's good policy for JPM -- and a major contributor to the bank's shareholder yield besides just dividends. That said, JPMorgan's size presents some problems. Investors shouldn't ignore the possibility for inconspicuous sinkholes in the firm's mammoth balance sheet; the firm's trading loss is a good example of one of those sinkholes.
Increased regulation means that JPM needs to get the thumbs up from Uncle Sam if it wants to buy shares or pay bigger dividends. While that hurdle does restrict JPM's ability to pay shareholders, the firm has a good track record of getting approval for cutting bigger dividend checks. Right now, JPM pays a 30-cent quarterly dividend for a 2.8% yield. With profits mounting for the firm, a dividend hike looks like a likely outcome in the next quarter.
U.S. Bancorp
One of the most attractive banks on the market right now is $59 billion "regional" name U.S. Bancorp (USB). While USB doesn't qualify to be in the big four banks, its scale warrants putting this bank in a category all its own. Based in Minneapolis, U.S. Bancorp operates in 25 states as a conventional retail and commercial bank -- but it's the firm's unconventional approach to revenues that makes it especially attractive right now.
USB has spent the last few years focusing on fee-based revenues rather than the more volatile banking revenues that peers collect. It's done that by building out its burgeoning wealth management, credit card servicing, and trustee businesses, three units that have contributed double-digit growth rates to USB's income statement. Fee-based revenues are generally recurring, and they tend to court stickier customers than traditional banking operations could hope to. That's a knock out combination given the low interest rates that are guaranteed for a while to come.
Where other banks spent cash acquiring more cheap deposits, USB has been acquiring more fee generators instead. Cross-selling opportunities between the firm's banking customers and fee business customers should still have the duel effect of drawing more deposits to its customer accounts. Currently, the firm pays out a 19.5-cent quarterly dividend for a 2.48% yield. I think we'll see that number climb higher next quarter.
130 years after its founding, property-casualty insurer Chubb (CB) has grown to become one of the biggest names in commercial and personal insurance. Size comes with some challenges for insurers, and the tradeoff between attractive business lines and scale is one of them. In the years leading up to the Great Recession, Chubb was more concerned with the latter, building an insurance book rife with boring, low margin policies. But in the years since, that's changed.
Margins have become a key consideration for Chubb in recent years, with the firm leveraging its scale to write more bespoke policies for more unique situations like those of high net worth clients or corporate executives seeking liability coverage. In an industry that's become extremely commoditized in the last two decades, Chubb's lines give it much deeper underwriting margins. And while more traditional insurers are forced to match prices and underwrite in volume, Chubb is in an enviable position since it's able to walk away from business based on price.
Financially, Chubb's balance sheet leverage is reasonable and the firm has ample wherewithal to handle any unexpected challenges. While Hurricane Sandy won't be a cheap event for the insurance industry, much of it will be covered through the National Flood Insurance program, which is administered by the government rather than private insurers. That should cut the cost to investors in half.
Chubb currently pays a 41-cent dividend each quarter. With deeper profitability and ample cash generation, that number looks likely to get boosted.
Allstate (ALL) is on the more mainstream side of the insurance spectrum. The $17 billion firm is the second-largest personal lines insurer, focusing on home, auto, and life insurance with a network of 13,000 company agents and an army of independent agents. That network effect is a big deal for Allstate, and the high-touch customer relationship is one feature that the firm markets heavily as an advantage of being an Allstate customer.
Allstate is using technology to give it an advantage over rivals in the hugely commoditized insurance business. One way it's done that is by offering a program that uses a small in-car device that tracks customers' driving habits -- the device lets Allstate make better risk assumptions, and it lets customers cut their insurance costs by up to a third. Better data means that ALL can charge less and pull volume from rivals who don't have the same underwriting prowess.
With a solid balance sheet and ample cash generation Allstate looks like it's in a good position to hike its dividend payout in the near-term. Currently, the firm pays a 22-cent quarterly dividend that works out to a 2.19% yield at current price levels.
Another company that spends a lot of effort measuring consumers' risk is Equifax (EFX). As one of the big three credit ratings bureaus, Equifax is in the business of selling individuals' credit scores to the lenders who are sizing up their prospective loan book. Because those credit risks mean the difference between sizable profits and massive losses for banks, they're willing to pay dearly to get their hands on the data.
Better still, there's little competition among the big three bureaus right now. That's because most financial institutions subscribe to multiple databases in order to get a more complete picture of a borrower's credit. Even though Equifax is much better known for its credit product, the firm has been expanding other data-driven services such as fraud detection, and analytical and database services. The services that EFX provides to financial institutions are relatively low overhead (banks report delinquencies to them, after all), and they generate considerable cash.
International markets have become an increasingly important piece of Equifax's revenue pie, especially given the push towards Western lending standards in emerging markets. As burgeoning middle class populations start demanding cheaper credit, EFX should be first in line to grow its top line substantially. Right now, the firm pays an 18-cent dividend that works out to a 1.56% yield. The firm's cash position has more than doubled in the last year -- I think that we'll likely see some of it go to investors as a bigger payout.

Conference champion Franklin Regional ready for postseason play
Franklin Regional football coach Greg Botta picked up one piece of hardware from his team's season Monday night.
Now his squad will focus on earning some more.
After earning a share of the Greater Allegheny Conference championship last week, Franklin Regional (8-1) will begin the WPIAL Class AAA playoffs with a home game at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Montour. The Panthers earned the No. 4 seed in Class AAA, the best of any team in the Greater Allegheny.
Botta, who had concerns about the inexperience of his team coming into the season, now believes the Panthers are ready for postseason play.
"You gradually want to get better," he said. "It's week-to-week improvement — that's what makes a good football team, to work on our mistakes. Right now, we are. We're trying to find out where we're going to be after this game and before this game."
The Panthers enter the playoffs Friday in the midst of a six-game winning streak dating back to September. In that span, Franklin Regional outscored its opponents, 247-39 — including 205-19 over the past five weeks.
Franklin Regional ended the regular season last week with a 55-0 victory over last-place Derry. Senior Paul Emanuele rushed for 200 yards and three touchdowns in that game as Franklin Regional piled up 471 yards of total offense — including 405 on the ground. Sophomore Dom Giannangeli, junior Brett Zanotto and senior Charan Singh also rushed for touchdowns, and Singh tossed two touchdown passes to Colin Jonov.
"I saw the guys doing what they needed to do," Botta said of the game. "You never worry about the opponent, you worry about what you do. We were trying to work for perfection that week, as far as our skill work and our playing. We didn't want to commit a lot of turnovers, which we didn't do, and just tried to maintain possession of the ball (on offense) and get as many three-and-outs as we could (on defense). For the most part, we did that."
Montour, the WPIAL Class AAA champion in 2011, comes into Friday's matchup with a 5-4 overall record. The Spartans qualified for the playoffs as the fifth-place team from the Parkway Conference.
The Spartans are led by a dual threat quarterback in Tynen Greer, who passed for 1,047 yards and nine touchdowns and rushed for 590 yards and nine scores. Running back Cole Macek rushed for 567 yards and six touchdowns, and receiver Donald Payne caught 20 passes for 390 yards and four touchdowns.
"I really don't know much about them," Botta said after the brackets were announced Monday evening in Green Tree. "I haven't seen them on film at all, but I know (coach Lou Cerro) does a great job with those kids. They're a very physical football team, and capable of putting points on the board. So we've just got to wait until we break them down to see how good they really are and how we match up against them."
Because the identity of their opponent was a mystery Monday afternoon, Botta said the Panthers worked on skill improvement and special teams work at practice.
"(I just want the players) to maintain the same attitude they've had all year long and try to limit mistakes and take advantage of opportunities when they come up," Botta said. "In the playoffs, those opportunities come very rarely. You've got to take advantage."

When adding or changing the power steering fluid, use Dexron III ®Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF).
See Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
The power steering hydraulic fluid level is checked with a dipstick inserted into the pump reservoir cap. The level can be checked with the fluid either warm or cold. The vehicle should be parked on a level surface. Check the fluid level every 12 months or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- With the engine OFF , unscrew the dipstick and check the level. If the engine is warm, the level should be within the proper range on the HOT scale. If the engine is cold, the level should be within the proper range on the COLD scale.
- If the level is low, add Dexron III®Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF), or a superceding compatible ATF its until correct. Be careful not to overfill, which will cause fluid loss and seal damage.

The Baume & Mercier is one of the oldest and finest watch making companies.
In 1592 Native of Franche Comté, the Baume family settled in the Les Bois village in the Swiss Jura Mountains from 1542. Carrying out watch-manufacturing work (name given to subcontracting in watch-making at the time), the Baume's passed on their knowledge of watch mechanisms from father to son.
In 1834, at the heart of a century marked by extraordinary scientific and industrial progress, brothers Louis Victor and Pierre-Joseph-Célestin Baume founded the house of the same name and registered it as an agency in the Les Bois village, in the Swiss Jura Mountains. There was only one slogan: "Accept only perfection, only manufacture watches of the highest quality". To this day, that slogan still stands as the company's hallmark and ongoing mission. They continue to make watches to this day of the highest quality that are both the envy and the admiration of the timepiece world.
By 1918 the Baume family joined together with the Mercier family, whose watch designs and artistic abilities were exceptional, and this merger began the Baume et Mercier watch company. It was not long before the Baume & Mercier (guess that "&" was put in there for us Americans , the "original" name "Baume et Mercier.") watch company became prominent for their chronographs and precise watch timekeeping mechanisms.
Today, Baume & Mercier continues to produce their branded classic and sporty watch styles in quality timepieces to distinguish itself and surprise with a successful combination of watch making expertise and technological innovation.

Peachey takes reins with a century in sight
Page Tools
CRONULLA v PARRAMATTA
Toyota Park, today 5.35pm
Eels fullback Wade McKinnon remains in doubt with a shoulder injury, while David Peachey - who needs two tries for 100 in first grade - will captain the Sharks in the absence of Brett Kimmorley. Fighting for a top-eight position, Cronulla will take confidence from their 18-14 golden-point win over Parramatta in round seven. Stuart Raper's side has a 4-6 record at home this season. Brian Smith's Eels are 3-7 away.
NORTH QUEENSLAND v SOUTH SYDNEY
Dairy Farmers Stadium, tonight 7.35
Winger Neil Sweeney, dropped last week for being late to training, has won back his spot in the Cowboys team from Brenton Bowen. Bowen will play for the Young Guns in tonight's curtain-raiser against Toowoomba. Michael Luck has been added to the North Queensland bench and may supplant David Faiumu, while withdrawal-hit South Sydney have taken Glenn Hall as their emergency reserve.
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA v WARRIORS
WIN Stadium, tonight 7.35
Dragons officials are confident fullback Ben Hornby will overcome a dose of the flu. It's a game St George Illawarra must win to keep the pressure on Penrith for a top-four spot. The Warriors haven't won in Wollongong since 1996 and were defeated 16-10 at home by a depleted Dragons this year. The Auckland franchise's halfback, Stacey Jones, needs five more points to be the club's first player to reach 500.
CANBERRA v MELBOURNE
Canberra Stadium, tomorrow 2.35pm
Melbourne captain Stephen Kearney (hamstring), winger Matt King (quadriceps) and reserves Glen Turner (groin) and Dustin Cooper (infected leg) will all have fitness tests this morning before the team leaves for the national capital. "We've had to keep just about all our players back from travelling to play for [feeder team] Brisbane Norths," said coach Craig Bellamy. "I've also brought Jeremy Smith down from Brisbane ..." Michael Robertson drops off the Canberra bench.
BRISBANE v BULLDOGS
Suncorp Stadium, tomorrow 3.05pm
A crowd of up to 50,000 is expected for this top-of-the-table clash; the Broncos attracted 46,347 for the re-opening of Suncorp Stadium against Newcastle last year. Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett is yet to finalise his bench while the Bulldogs are unchanged from last week's comfortable win against North Queensland aside from the forced replacement of injured centre Jamaal Lolesi with Ben Harris. These sides have played at tomorrow's venue three times - and the Bulldogs have won each time. In fact, Brisbane have won just one from their past six games against Steve Folkes's side.
MANLY v NEWCASTLE
Brookvale Oval, tomorrow 3.05pm
The Knights yesterday signed former Manly and Northern Eagles prop Grant Wooden and Bathurst St Patrick's back-rower Kurt Hancock. Prop Josh Perry (hip) remains in doubt for tomorrow's game, while Daniel Abraham's inclusion on the bench in place of Reegan Tanner was confirmed yesterday. Manly fullback Brett Stewart (hip) and second-rower Sam Harris (back) have been given until this morning to prove their fitness. "Their chances are good, they both want to play," said coach Des Hasler.

Subject : Increasing the centrifugal pump performance by modifying the impeller.12-6
The following information will apply to closed, semi-open and open impellers unless noted otherwise:
What happens when you reduce the impeller vane diameter? Several things :
Although both the vanes and shrouds are often cut in end suction, volute type centrifugal pumps; it is not a good idea to do this in double suction designs. With these types of pumps you can reduce the vane diameters, but the shrouds should remain untouched.
Under filing the exit vanes is usually a good idea. Please look at the following diagram :

We heard that Alan Pardew was a good motivator when he first arrived on Tyneside, to replace the very well liked Chris Hughton, and everything Alan's done since then suggests he already has his players firmly behind him.
Fab Coloccini – has done very well since his return
Tomorrow's game against Wigan is important, and with the young Andy Carroll missing that game, Alan Pardew will have to use all his motivational skills to ensure Newcastle put in a top performance.
And with Newcastle conceding 15 goals in their last 6 games, since the 0-0 draw at home to Fulham, there is concern that Newcastle leak far too many goals this season.
In their 19 league games so far this season, Newcastle have conceded 31 goals, and three more than they have scored.
But it seems that Alan Pardew has quickly become a fan of Argentine center-back Fabricio Coloccini, who of course is a big favorite on Tyneside.
Pardew has been pleased with Coloccini's impact on the defense since he came in against Man City, after serving his three game ban for being sent off in the disaster at Bolton Wanderers.
This is what Alan said today about the 34 times capped Argentine:
"He's a top player and the back four did very, very well at Tottenham," "They were a bit unfortunate – it was a deflection for the first goal."
"We gifted two goals against Manchester City when we put the ball at risk, but that's something we talked about when I arrived,"
"There are elements we have to cut out of our game but, as far as Fabricio is concerned, I think he's done very well."
Certainly both Coloccini and Steven Taylor have looked good in the last two games for Newcastle, and the defense has generally looked well organized.
But for some pundits, Coloccini still has to prove he is real PL class player, and he should get plenty of chances to do just that this season.
And let's not forget Mike Williamson, who is currently on the sidelines but is also a good player, and we would expect Mike to get back into the side at some stage this season.
Comments welcome.

Muslim Beauty Pageant Contestant Katya Koren Stoned To Death
Katya Koren, a 19-year-old contestant in the Miss Ukraine beauty pageant, was found stoned to death in a forest this week. Police are not clear on who killed her, but the main suspect is a mentally unstable 16-year-old boy who confessed to killing Koren, a Muslim, for violating sharia law by participating in pageants. The boy was possibly a "stalker" who was "obsessed" with Katya Koren and may have raped her before killing her. Other reports say that Katya Koren was stoned to death by a whole group of Muslims enacting sharia law. According to the UK's Telegraph newspaper, enacting sharia law in that part of the Ukraine is rare.
It's incredibly sad in either case. But as someone who is extremely critical and unsupportive of beauty pageants, I just wanted to note that something I scoff at in America is, in other parts of the world, a freedom that I take for granted.

Days of Our Knights!
Sir Knights Wally and Rudy doing what they do best at St. Anne's Food Pantry!
St. Anne's Food Bank
The Knights of Columbus Council #2329 substantially oversees the operations of the Saint Anne�s Food Pantry in Porterville, Ca. The food pantry is a ministry of Saint Anne�s Parish established to serve the communities of Porterville and Springville by feeding the hungry, regardless of their religious affiliation. It accomplishes the objective by providing supplemental grocery food commodities to individuals and families in need of emergency food assistance. Distribution of food is conducted each Wednesday and Thursday morning.
During the 12 month period ending June 30, 2013, 30 members of Council #2329 volunteered 4,000 hours assisting 500 households per month through Saint Anne�s Food Pantry. More than 2,000 additional volunteer hours are provided by other caring members of the community, most notably members of Catholic Daughters #1521. The monetary requirements of the food pantry are mostly met by gracious contributions made by members of Saint Anne�s Parish.
Activities of the food pantry are ongoing 7 days a week in order to be prepared for the twice weekly food distribution. All members of Knights Council #2329 are encouraged to examine their skills and abilities with a goal of committing their time and effort to further enhance the food pantry ministry. Substantial assistance can be provided by volunteering an hour or two a week or a four hour block of time once or more a month. Skill set opportunities during morning, evening, or weekend hours include: greeting and interpretation; computer database and spreadsheet input; sorting and shelving; loading and delivery of commodities with a pickup; and minor building maintenance.
Knights are sincerely thanked for their personal financial support, but are also encouraged to examine their capabilities to further become involved with the ministry of feeding the hungry. To discuss how you might get involved come by the food pantry at 271 S. Wallace on Wednesday or Thursday morning, call George Martinez at Saint Anne�s Parish on 784-2800, or call SK Jim Perrine on 783-3035.

The chief executive of Japan's Mt. Gox, once the world's leading Bitcoin exchange, was ordered to the United States to answer questions related to its US bankruptcy case, filed after the company lost $US400 million ($432 million) of customers' digital currency.
US bankruptcy judge Stacey Jernigan on Tuesday ordered Mark Karpeles to appear in Dallas on April 17 at the offices of Baker & McKenzie, the law firm that represents Mt. Gox.
Mt. Gox customers want its chief executive and majority owner, Mark Karpeles, to explain why the exchange shut down in February and what happened to their 750,000 Bitcoins, which the company said were stolen in a computer hacking attack.
Customers have alleged that insiders, including Mr Karpeles, may have stolen the money, and employees told Reuters they were worried as early as 2012 that customers' money was being diverted for operating expenses.
Mt. Gox filed bankruptcy in February in Tokyo. Last month, Mr Karpeles asked a Dallas court to grant Mt. Gox Chapter 15 bankruptcy protection, in part to put a stop to a class action that had been filed by US customers in Chicago federal court.
Under Chapter 15, protection from creditors is not automatic. Mt. Gox must prove at a hearing on May 20 that it should be granted such protection.
"If he avails himself of this court, my God, he is going to get himself over here," Judge Jernigan said at the Bankruptcy Court hearing in Dallas at which she ordered Mr Karpeles to appear.
John Mitchell, a Baker & McKenzie attorney, said the company may replace Mr Karpeles as the "foreign representative" of Mt. Gox in the US bankruptcy court, a suggestion that did not sit well with the judge.
"He filed this case," she responded curtly.
Mr Karpeles' testimony could help solve the mystery of what happened to money and Bitcoins that were entrusted to Mt. Gox by its clients, most of them from the United States.
Mr Karpeles controlled the company's financial records and may be the only person who knows where the company's assets and money might be, Steven Woodrow, an attorney for U.S. customers, told the Dallas hearing.
Judge Jernigan limited the deposition questioning of Mr Karpeles to issues pertaining to whether the court should grant permanent bankruptcy protection to Mt. Gox.

For legal purposes reality was to be found in this ideal, perfect, natural law, and its organ was juristic reason.
Three of these are not heard of thereafter in Roman juristic writing.
The tribunate was untouched; but the legislature was divided into three sections, juristic, administrative, and financial.
Once more law and morals were identified in juristic thinking.
In the past the Unions have very largely taken what might be termed a juristic view of their functions.
There it is also shown that these formulæ were due to Tertullian's juristic bias.
At Bologna, the centre of juristic studies, Aurispa had but little success.
Later these natural rights came to be the bane of juristic thinking.
This is a juristic possession, a conception both of fact and of law.
The classics then supplied the starting-point for juristic and medical disquisitions.

Bryson's Bar
About Bryson's Bar:
As well as music and food, Bryson's has always had a firm reputation for supporting local sport, playing host to many successful darts teams, and sponsoring a successful, but sadly short-lived local football team, Crescent Villa in the 1980s.
A history of supporting the local rugby club, Rainey Old Boys, and Gaelic Athletic Club, Magherafelt O'Donovan Rossa, has ensured that sportsmen and sports enthusiasts of every discipline are a common sight in the bar, and guarantees that the atmosphere for live sporting events is truly second to none.
But in a changing market-place, the Bryson's brand had begun to outgrow its humble 100 capacity home, and so, with the assurance of the family's support, and the commitment of eldest son Niall full-time to the project, the decision was made to undergo a radical refurbishment to bring Bryson's firmly into its 3rd century, and 3rd generation.
The traditional Bryson's lunch is now available 7 days a week, and with the addition of a more contemporary evening menu, the already sterling reputation for food which has been garnered over nearly 30 years can only continue to grow.
Add to this the vibrant live music scene which continues to frequent the bar, and the top local and international DJs who are making Bryson's a new must play venue, and it is clear that the Bryson's legacy is in good hands.

Gimli store yanks 'Gay Away' gag gift
A Gimli dollar store pulled a gag gift called Gay Away off its shelves Wednesday after local parents called to complain it was offensive.
The gag product is a candy in a tablet form that purports to cure homosexuality. Part of a product line called Mighty Meds, Gay Away is marketed by a company with the website laughrat.com.
Leann, the manager at Deals for Dollars, said the shop pulled the item from shelves Wednesday morning after the first call.
Leann, who wouldn't give her last name, said store staff hadn't ordered the item; it made its way to the shelves when a supply rep for the store added it to the stock.
"We usually order but what happened this time is we let the rep order. We hadn't even known it was there," she said.
Once calls of complaint came into the store, the staff plucked that item from the shelves along with some other items the same rep had also ordered. The store manager described the other offensive items as adult sex gags.
Suspended union director retires
THE province's largest union announced late Wednesday one of two senior staffers it suspended in September has retired.
Bob Dewar, a one-time chief of staff to former premier Gary Doer, had worked for the Manitoba Government and General Employees Union for 23 years. He had served as the union's director of operations since 2003.
The MGEU has posted a four-sentence statement announcing the retirement on its website.
In a brief telephone interview, union president Michelle Gawronsky refused to say whether Dewar had received a buyout, citing privacy concerns.
Local union activists were surprised and shocked when they heard this fall that Dewar and Bruce Buckley, another union staffer, had been suspended without pay. The union has never stated its reasons for taking the disciplinary actions, and neither man has spoken to the media.
Buckley also chairs the Manitoba Taxicab Board, which regulates the taxi industry in Winnipeg.
Copies of a grievance Buckley filed over his suspension and a letter of protest he wrote to the union's board of directors were recently leaked to the Free Press.
In the documents, Buckley wrote he had an unblemished record of employment over 23 years with the union and he was suspended without cause.
His future with the union remains unresolved.
Gawronsky said Wednesday evening the matter with respect to Buckley "remains a human resources issue."
Further study for report on $21-M job
COUNCILLORS frustrated with a report that carried a $21-million price tag added to a council agenda at the last minute sent the project back for further study.
The issue involves a long-term joint partnership between the city and development company Genstar to develop a large parcel of vacant land in Transcona.
The project depends on Genstar building a westward extension of Kildare Avenue through the city's former works yard in Transcona, which was the subject of the last-minute addition to council's agenda.
But councillors said the report lacked details and many were concerned when public works chairman Justin Swandel said he didn't understand it and wouldn't remain in council to debate it.

One such person is an Australian yachtsman who, adrift in the Pacific with his wife and two daughters, was saved by one of the Tampa's sister ships of the Wilhemsen Lines. A Mayday call, says this survivor, is a simple matter of humanity. In sending a message to ships' captains that they will take on a great deal of trouble if they rescue refugees in the waters around Australia, the government has descended to the level of the Indonesian people-smugglers who so outrage Prime Minister Howard.
Even the governor-general, a former Anglican archbishop, told Canberra schoolchildren that Australia "must be a just and caring country as well, and the task of making it that, of welcoming those who come across the seas, lies in all our hands".
In Melbourne a solicitor joined forces with the Victorian Council for Civil Liberties with an application to the federal court to let the Afghan refugees be brought to shore and processed in Australia. The govern ment's lawyers came to an agreement with these parties to allow a federal court injunction to be lifted and the refugees to be moved to a troop landing ship, HMAS Manoora, for shipment to Port Moresby and the island of Nauru. The deal was forged to allow the refugees, living in containers and on the Tampa's open deck, to be removed to the far healthier, better appointed troop carrier.
Whatever the judgment on the legality of what Howard has done, the decision is likely to be appealed to the Australian high court. Unaccustomed levels of passion have been evoked. For Labor's opposition to the government's reckless legislation, rejected at the senate, its leader, Kim Beazley, has received packages including detonators and bullets. So have two senators. A court decision will not decrease the frenzy, but if it is finally decided that Howard's actions violate law and the constitution, I shall feel vindicated by my faith in Australian institutions. But I know that I will be a member of a minority.
At the time of the Olympics we were trumpeting with some pride the success of immigration, the rich diversity of our community. There are signs that we have repented of that diversity. The shenanigans over the Tampa come after a great deal of tabloid publicity has been directed at the Lebanese Muslim community in Sydney. Youths from this community have been depicted as having a special malice against Caucasian Australian women, and one girl who suffered violation by Muslim youths said she was told they were raping her specifically because she was an Australian. So successful has been the hysteria that a friend of mine asked me whether abuse of women was inherent in Islam. In the minds of those hysterical over the Tampa, here we have some 500 further unreliable souls of the same religion.
On top of all else, for some months Australian detention centres, located in desert regions or on the edge of cities and run by the euphoniously named Wackenhut Corporation of California, have been the scenes of riots, purportedly over the slowness of Australian processing. There has been pressure on the government to hold an inquiry into the way the camps and the process are run, many asking why it is necessary to detain refugee applicants. But the government, backed by polls, has been holding a firm line.
It is in this context that Howard and his ministers have steeled their hearts against the supposed invasion by the powerless of the Tampa. There is an irony in the fact that the only people on the Tampa brought ashore in Australia were the four Indonesian people-smugglers in command of the endangered vessel from which the Tampa rescued the refugees.
The Tampa, I believe, will be remembered as a low point for the much-publicised Australian virtue of standing up for the underdog. These people are depicted as having come with no further objective than to incommode Australia's sense of composure. That they might be genuine escapees from the Taliban's massacring of such Afghan groups as the Hazaras and Tajiks cuts little ice. Philip Ruddock, the immigration minister, a former member of Amnesty International, refers to all such refugees as "queue jumpers". National pride, justly enhanced by the deployment of troops in East Timor last year, does not seem to have been shocked by the image of elite troops in battle fatigues putting the Tampa's captain and his refugees in their place.
On top of that, a Pacific phosphate island named Nauru, threatened by poverty and global warming, dependent for survival on Australian aid, has been persuaded to receive, at Australian expense, the more potentially turbulent members of this 433-strong squad of invaders for processing. Commentators say that many of the folk processed will end up being received by Australia. But by then the federal election later this year will be over, and fevers will have cooled.
It seems such a minor, infamous success Howard has achieved, though greeted by some as part of the continuum of Australian triumphalism involving the Olympics, the Wallabies' success against the Lions and the slaughter of English hope by Steve Waugh's men. Go, Aussie, go!
When we are happy with ourselves, we depict Australian identity as a rock-jawed Glen McGrath or Pat Rafter figure. Or as a person like one of the genuinely tough boat crews who pluck bathers from rips and deliver them back to the sand with casual grace. Here, we think, are incarnations of the true, matey, muscular character of the Australian ethos.
But when faced with a few boatloads of refugees, we tend to see Australian culture as a maidenly figure likely to face cultural violation as a result of the smallest injection of strangeness. This uncertainty causes us to cheer a venal government and avoid asking obvious questions. Is this exercise worth the expense? To what extent is it a gesture to Howard's re-election? What will be the real cost of Australia's decreased international credit?
It could be amusing to outsiders that we are so fussed over this boatload of asylum seekers, since we are a nation whose European history began with boatloads of undesirables. One day soon it might be worth making the point. This does not seem to be a season to which the normal whimsy of Australians belongs. We hope for a saner day when this craziness is celebrated in ridicule.

Justice will not be served
The Israeli government, meanwhile, has revived the practice of punitive home demolitions, razing the homes of two suspects. This follows a massive raid on the West Bank and airstrikes on Gaza that have killed around 12 Palestinians over the past two weeks.
In a statement, Amnesty International urged Israel to halt its crackdown, saying: "Justice will not be served by Israel seeking revenge by imposing collective punishment, or committing other violations of Palestinians' rights." Next week will mark the 10th anniversary of the International Court of Justice advisory ruling that said Israel's separation wall and settlements in the occupied West Bank are illegal.
"An eye for an eye" has always been the motto of those who live under the Mosaic Law--injury for injury, injustice for injustice, death for deathThere was love and mercy and forgiveness even under the Mosaic Law, but those who practice it today have focused on justice and judgment rather than mercy and forgiveness, and their justice has become injustice and their judgment has become the slaughter of the innocent and the butchery of the helpless.
Such is the situation in the Mideast today, where the Palestinians suffer at the hands of the Israelis. Though neither side is blameless and some on both sides have shed innocent blood. Those who have sown violence and death will also reap it, for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. This is spiritual law, applicable both to those who sow good and those who sow evil.

Batara Bayu
Body Size: 66 cm
This gorgeous Batara Bayu is really big and is painted with beautiful colors, from pink to deep purple. It has two sticks of buffalo horn, the central one made of wood, few old restorations on a wrist, the neck and the belly. Small parts of the garment are detached. All those minor damages testify its authenticity as an antique, and tell about its glorious past.
Bayu in the Hindu religion is a main God, the God of Wind. Air (Vayu) or wind (Pavana) is one element in the Panca Maha Bhuta, the five basic elements in the Hindu religion. At the time of Treta Yuga, Batara Bayu became the teacher of ape Hanuman, giving him all the powers that made him a protagonist in Ramayana story. Batara Bayu is the God of wind. Has the Javanese Wayang, or scenic representations, got its name from this personage, as the figures shown on the screen have no reality, but are only shadows, and for that reason compared to the air or the wind?

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has opened a criminal investigation after the rapper The Game tweeted the number for the sheriff's Compton station, prompting hundreds of calls and overwhelming the emergency phone system.
Sheriff's Lt. Suzan Young says "the phones started ringing like crazy" at around 5:20 p.m. Friday.
Sheriff's Capt. Mike Parker tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/oGFHO1) that The Game told his 580,000 followers that if they wanted an internship with him, they should call the number. Parker says all of the phone lines were jammed for more than two hours.
He says sheriff's investigators are documenting the actions in a criminal complaint and plan to forward to the district attorney's office for possible criminal charges.

Crisis-hit Gaza gets 450,000 litres of fuel (AFP) AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE) 03/23/12)

Some 450,000 litres of fuel were delivered to the crisis-hit Gaza Strip early on Friday through Israel´s Kerem Shalom border crossing, Israeli and Palestinian sources said.
An Israeli military official confirmed that the Kerem Shalom terminal had opened at 7:30 am (0530 GMT), to allow 450,000 litres of fuel to be transferred into the Hamas-run territory.
"450,000 litres of fuel are being delivered to Gaza today," said Guy Inbar, a spokesman for COGAT, the military division in charge of coordinating access to and from Gaza.
And a source within Gaza´s government said that 13 tankers, "each with a capacity of 45,000 litres," were at the border crossing. The delivery was made just hours after Egyptian officials reached an agreement with Israel to permit the transfer of fuel to enable Gaza´s sole power plant to function.
"Thanks to efforts by Egypt, in coordination with Hamas, prime minister Salam Fayyad and due to a decision by president Mahmud Abbas, an agreement was reached to resume the supply of diesel, via Israel, to Gaza´s power plant through the Kerem Shalom terminal," a senior Egyptian official told AFP overnight.
The agreement with Israel was to involve the delivery of 900,000 litres of fuel, he said. It was not immediately clear when the second delivery would be made.
Fayyad´s office in a statement spoke of the delivery of "437,000 litres of fuel for the Gaza Strip today," but warned that this was merely a "provisional solution."
"A permanent solution will depend on a series of measures," he added, calling for "rational and serious management reforms" in the Gaza Electricity Company.
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said the Islamist movement had been informed by Egypt about Friday´s delivery, and was ""pursuing efforts to find a permanent solution to this crisis." He did not mention Israel´s involvement.
Last week, Gaza´s energy authority said it had paid Egypt $2 million towards fuel for its crippled power station, but had yet to receive anything in return.
Gaza is experiencing a major electricity crisis because of a shortage of fuel for the power plant.
The facility, which supplies nearly a third of Gaza´s electricity, stopped generating power on March 10, for the third time in four weeks, causing power cuts of up to 18 hours per day, according to the UN humanitarian agency, OCHA.
"Since 10 March, the majority of the Gaza population has been experiencing power cuts of up to 18 hours per day after the Gaza power plant was forced to shut down due to a lack of fuel," OCHA said in its weekly report.
"These power cuts have severe humanitarian consequences on Palestinian households. The fuel and electricity shortages also disrupt the delivery of public services, including hospitals and water and waste water treatment plants."
Gaza has long suffered outages because of shortages at its power plant, which has a maximum capacity of 140 megawatts but for some years has been able to generate only around half of that when operational.
In recent months, the situation has worsened because of a shortage of fuel, most of which is smuggled through cross-border tunnels from Egypt. (Copyright © 2012 Agence France Presse. 03/23/12)

'Judo' Jim Wallhead Claims His First World Title At Clash of Warriors
Top European Welterweight "Judo" Jimmy Wallhead claimed his first World Title this past Weekend after defeating the former Lithuanian K-1 tournament winner Marius Buzinskas in round 1 of their World Welterweight Title bout at Clash of Warriors 7: No Way Out.
Wallhead who is managed by Warrior Promotions Fighter Management and trains out of Team Rough House/Leicester Shootfighters, is currently regarded by many observers as the UK's best unsigned fighter due in part to his wins against UFC veterans Jason Tan and Steve Lynch. Whilst Wallhead has also impressed against top European based talent such as Fabricio Nascimento, John Phillips and Igor Araujo.
Despite only stepping into the cage for the second time this year, Wallhead was able to extend his professional MMA record to an impressive 17-6-0 (with 13 wins coming inside the distance) in style, by taking Buzinskas apart in double quick time at the Victoria Sports Centre in Nottingham.
Wallhead raced off the blocks and looked in red hot form as he took the Lithuanian down early on with a quick double leg, before bundling his opponent against the fence. From there Wallhead showed great composure as he worked through Buzinskas' ground defence, before getting his back and eventually sinking in a crank to end the contest after just 68 seconds of the first round.
This win came on the back of a challenging 24 hours for the Leicester based star, who found out at the weigh-ins that his original opponent Manuel 'Manu' Garcia failed to catch his flight and announced his retirement to the promotional team when questioned on why he missed his flight. However the Clash of Warriors promoter Freddy Naghizadeh was able to offer Wallhead a new opponent within the hour in the form of the former K-1 East Europe Tournament winner.
This lighting quick victory was Wallhead's seventeenth professional win and saw him claim his first World Title, which he can add to his already impressive resume, which has seen him claim both the Cage Gladiators and House of Pain British Titles and the 2006 'Road to Japan' under 83kg Tournament Title.
Wallhead is now enjoying a well earned break but a spokesman from his management team hopes to see the Team Rough House fighter back in action at least twice before the year's end.

1. 'Bad Habits'
'Bad Habits' Lyrics
Make me crazy, don't speak no sound
I want you to prove it to me in the nude,
Addicted to the way you move
Honey if anything ever should change in you,
Don't worry I'm standing still
I'll move in with the right of will
This is the highest cost, take you and make you off
Love you and leave you lost, will you forgive me
Assed out all over town, drags you and keeps you down
Two times in a day around, will you forgive me
I can't control the feeling, girl cause I know you're here
I feel you from the floor to the ceiling; I wanna give it to you over there
Lady when we lock it low, we get together it's an overdose
I'm slipping, I'm here, I'm on my knees I feels my heart's about to explode
Baby to tell the truth, when I'm sober I jones for you
When it's over I'm overdue, girl there's no-one as bad, no-one as bad as you
You got me slippin' around with it, around with it, oh why
You got me sick with this love baby, I'm so I'm so in love I can't come down
You're my bad habit baby, you're my
You're takin' my soul down to the letter O
Can't escape the way you got me locked out baby
I gotta break from you, break from you, break from you
Will you forgive me
Will you forgive me
Will you forgive me
Will you forgive me
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
I can't control the feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling

Who/What Are You Rooting For in This Year's Golden Globes?
There are the actors and movies and TV shows that you predict will win (and if you fill out my ballot, your predictions might just win you an Apple TV!) and then there are those you just really, really want to win. The best is when these two things overlap and the winners are the people/movies/shows you think are most deserving. But for now let's just talk wish lists: Who/what do you hope takes home those golden statues on Sunday night?
Should The Curious Case of Benjamin Button win Best Motion Picture, Drama over The Reader or Frost/Nixon? Should Anne Hathaway take home the award for Best Dramatic Actress over heavyweights Meryl Streep and Kate Winslet? Then there are the TV categories: Steve Carell or Alec Baldwin? Mad Men or House?
To see a full list of the nominees, click here. Then let us know who and what would be your picks if you were in charge.

Dulac on Golf: Stellar performance just in time for local pro
Funny thing about Steve Wheatcroft, a Washington, Pa., native who keeps bouncing between the PGA Tour and the Web.com Tour: He prefers to play in tournaments in which the winning score is around par, yet he has won two tournaments in which his combined score is 53 under.
That's right. Fifty-three under par.
"For a guy that enjoys playing courses where even par is a good score, I've got two wins and 53 under for those wins," Wheatcroft said. "I don't know what goes on for those two weeks."
Wheatcroft, 36, won for the second time in four years on the Web.com Tour when he captured the Albertsons Boise Open last week with a 10-foot birdie on the first playoff hole after shooting a tournament-record 24-under 260.
Combine that with the tour-record 29-under 255 he shot to win the Melwood Prince George's County Open by a record 12 shots in 2011 and it is easy to assume Wheatcroft is not out of his comfort zone when the scores start to go low.
"It came out of nowhere," said Wheatcroft, a Trinity High School graduate. "I still like when par means something. I guess I get hot every now and then on a birdie-fest."
The victory moved Wheatcroft to No. 11 on the Web.com Tour's money list and guarantees him a spot on the PGA Tour -- the third time in the past five years he has earned a battlefield promotion to the big tour.
Problem is, Wheatcroft has never played well enough on the PGA Tour to stay there for more than one season.
Nonetheless, the win couldn't have come at a better time for him. After missing eight cuts and not having a top-10 finish in 15 starts this season, he was beginning to doubt his ability. And, with his first child due in less than a month, Wheatcroft started thinking it might be time to find a different profession. He even started doing some course reporter work for the Golf Channel.
"It's been a terrible year," Wheatcroft said. "It's been by far my worst year I've ever had out here as a touring professional. I've had so many finishes down near the bottom. I actually started looking elsewhere for jobs and tried to figure out what my next venture was going to be because golf wasn't providing the way it had been in the past.
"I've got a baby on the way in less than four weeks. It's made me re-think everything and where's the money going to come from if I keep playing this poorly."
"Luckily, now I don't have to do that. It's more than special. It was a blessing the way it worked out."
Not so fast on McIlroy ...
After winning the British Open for his third different major title, Rory McIlroy is starting on a path that could make him one of the greatest golfers of all time.
But before anyone wants to start comparing this 25-year-old wunderkind from Northern Ireland to Tiger Woods, remember this:
* McIlroy has 13 worldwide wins in his career. When he was 23, Woods won 13 times in a 13-month period from August 1999 to August 2000.
* McIlroy has been ranked No. 1 in the world for 39 weeks. When he was 25, Woods had been No. 1 for more than 140 weeks.
* After winning his first major, Woods went nine years before missing the cut at a major. McIlroy went four tournaments.
* In his first 24 majors, Woods won six times, or 25 percent of the time. In his first 24 majors, Mclroy won three times.
With his fluid swing, awesome power and ability to get tremendous height on his long irons, McIlroy has the talent to win more majors than Phil Mickelson, Nick Faldo, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson. If he wins just one every two years for the next 10 years -- a modest pace for a dominant player -- he will have eight majors by the time he is 35. That will still leave him behind Walter Hagen (11), Ben Hogan (9) and Gary Player (9).
And, don't forget, Woods might not be done winning majors, either. Sure, he hasn't won one in six years and hasn't won the Masters in nine years. But I think he still has one, and possibly two, left in him, provided his body doesn't continue to break down. Let's hold off on the Tiger comparisons.
Milestone anniversary
The summer-long Kings Tri-State PGA Junior Golf Series remains very popular, with sold-out fields for most, if not all, of the 15 tournaments.
But one junior tournament seems to stand above the rest.
Monday, Green Oaks Country Club in Verona will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Dr. Charles Cuden Memorial Junior Tournament.
The event not only honors the memory of Cuden, a Squirrel Hill dentist and one of the founding members of Green Oaks who died in 1978; it continues to honor a family tradition of feeding the players and providing prizes.
The tournament is actually older than the Kings junior series, which is in its 25th year. But the event was so popular the Tri-State PGA incorporated the tournament into its rotation.
The tournament was unique because Cuden's family would provide lunch to the field of junior golfers -- a tradition that was started by Cuden's sister, the late Maxine Goldman. That practice has been continued by Cuden's sons and Goldman's daughters.
Dissa and data
* Twin brothers Ron and Dave DeNunzio of Jeannette won the 39th Baltusrol Invitational with a record best-ball score of 5-under 277. One week later, Ron DeNunzio shot 7-under 137 and was low qualifier to gain one of two spots into the U.S. Amateur. The other spot went to Sean Knapp (139), who, at age 52, qualified for the U.S. Amateur for the 14th time.
* ESPN anchor Jay Harris, who once worked in Pittsburgh, picked a good time to get his first hole in one. Playing in the Coach Michael Woodson Las Vegas Invitational, Harris aced the 190-yard 17th hole at Southern Highlands Golf Club using a 6-iron and won a 2015 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque SUV. Here's the best part: Harris' shot bounced off a hill to the left of the green, rolled onto the putting surface and into the cup. Harris formerly worked as a news reporter at WPGH-TV and morning news anchor at WAMO-FM.

Web Site
This web site is being maintained by two Boy Scout volunteers in an effort to facilitate the distribution of the Peace Light from Bethlehem throughout the North American continent. This web site has not been officially endorsed by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America. However, our goal is to work with individual local BSA Councils, Scouting volunteers, the Asociación de Scouts de México and PLAST (Ukrainian Scouting) to bring the continuous flame Peace Light from Bethlehem project to the North American continent.
Peace Light
Each year, a child from Upper Austria fetches the light from the grotto in Bethlehem where Jesus was born. The light is carried in two blast proof miners lamps on an Austrian Airlines jet from Tel Aviv Israel to Vienna Austria from where it is distributed at a Service of Dedication to delegations from across Europe who take it back, with a message of Peace, to their own countries. Austrian Airlines then flies the miners lamps containing the Peace Light from Bethlehem to New York City. The goal of this web site is help the light spread like the branches of a huge tree rooted in New York and spreading across the continent.

Are we sure he's a minister and not a priest?--Tricksterson 08:33, 9 November 2006 (PST)
- The article name should reflect the name of the character as it is officially listed in the acting credits. -- Contrib¯ _Santa_ ¯ Talk 02:39, 3 February 2007 (PST)
Don't know who proposed the raname but I disagree. --Princess Dharma (banned) 06:17, 4 February 2007 (PST)
- Disagree The Press Release says "Mark Stitham as minister", therefore the page name is accurate, and besides, no one has suggested what the new name should be. Triptolemus 11:39, 19 February 2007 (PST)
- Disagree The rename banner suggests the new title as Minister (I do). I feel strongly that until Kate meets another minister in flashback, the page is much easier to find as-is. This way, all you need to know about this minister is who he interacted with. Making a person track down precisely which episode this extremely minor character appeared BEFORE they can read his profile is just sadistic. I say keep it the way it is. -BearDog 11:49, 19 February 2007 (PST)
- Agree - I agree with the rename since this is how we are naming the ambiguous characters now. Someone else could create a disambig page for minister that helps determine which minister they are looking for. Jabberwock talk contribs email - 15:32, 24 February 2007 (PST)
