(Jan. 12, 2016) The Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging is accepting proposals for pilot research projects in the area of aging research. A total of $150,000 is available to fund 3-6 projects. The goals of the fund are to support an increase in external federal funding in aging and/or age-related diseases, advance DU's strength in areas of aging research, support development of new areas of aging/longevity research, and promote interdisciplinary partnerships. Special emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary proposals, proposals involving a partnership with other institutions and/or companies, as well as research areas involving investigators new to the area of aging research. Pilot projects funded under this mechanism are expected to result in applications for funding for large, multi-year research projects.

Denver Law named among best schools for students entering public service careers
(Jan. 12, 2016) A new study by National Jurist recognized DU's Sturm College of Law for its excellence in preparing lawyers for careers as public defenders and prosecutors. The achievement is due to Denver Law's unique experiential advantage curriculum, which combines live client clinics, semester in practice externships and legal simulation courses and offers students a full year of experiential practice.
Lexi Freeman, director of public interest law and Eric Bono, assistant dean of career opportunities and the office of career services, continue to provide students with hands-on learning–creating practice-ready lawyers that excel, locally and nationally, in public service law.
"This recognition tracks well with both the law school's strategic plan and the DU IMPACT 2025 Plan," says Dean Martin Katz. "It acknowledges the role of both experiential learning and career development for our students and highlights partnerships with the community—all core elements of DU's new strategic plan."

Federal Treasurer
The economy grew at a clip of 0.2 per cent in the September quarter, the slowest pace in nearly two years. Excluding the farm sector, the economy actually contracted by 0.2 per cent.
Export volumes tumbled 2.4 per cent as demand from China for iron ore and coal hit a soft patch, while consumer spending remained weak.
But Mr Swan said Australians should remain "confident" in the economy's growth prospects.
"In a volatile global environment there will be some bumps in the road for our economy, but Australia's economic fundamentals and growth outlook remains very strong," he said.
Weaker growth will make it harder for the government to achieve its budget deficit reduction targets, and puts into doubt official forecasts pointing to a substantial pick-up in the economy. It also raises questions about whether what Treasury secretary Ken Henry calls Australia's "three-speed economy" is being poorly managed
Shadow treasurer
The dollar slid to a 10-week low after the release of the Australian Bureau of Statistics gross domestic product data, as investors pushed out expectations of when the Reserve Bank of Australia will next raise interest rates.
Swaps traders have ruled out any chance of the RBA increasing rates at its meeting next Tuesday.
While most economists agreed that the September-quarter weakness was likely to be only temporary, some warned that the extent of the slowdown could make it more difficult to reach the RBA's 2010 GDP growth forecast of 3.5 per cent.
Mr Swan said the government remained committed to its fiscal consolidation strategy.
"Australia's prospects are underpinned by a huge pipeline of business investment, job creation the envy of the developed world and a rapid fiscal consolidation that will see the budget return to surplus in 2012-13 – ahead of every major advanced economy," he said.
Mr Swan also attacked Mr Hockey for claiming in a statement that Labor was not doing enough to invest in infrastructure while at the same time urging the government to rein in spending to reduce its deficit and take pressure off interest rates.
"For months and months Joe Hockey has bellowed from the rooftops that he would rip up vital public investment in infrastructure, and in the same breath today says we need to spend more," Mr Swan said.
The 0.2 per cent quarterly GDP increase was only half the 0.4 per cent expected by economists and well down on the 1.1 per cent recorded in the June quarter. Annual growth slid to 2.7 per cent, a lot lower than the long-term trend rate of around 3.25 per cent.
Growth in household consumption more than halved to 0.6 per cent, from 1.4 per cent in quarterly terms.
"The economy is very patchy," CommSec economist Savanth Sebastian said.
"The data is certainly a wake-up call to those focusing unduly on the mining boom and neglecting the other 90 per cent of the economy."
RBA governor
It was the seventh increase in the official cash rate since October 2009, although the RBA made no changes at meetings in June, July, August, September and October.
But the increase in interest rates to 4.75 per cent, from 3 per cent in October last year, is hurting some parts of the economy, as is the appreciation of the currency stoked by the biggest mining boom in more than a century.
The ABS figures showed 11 of 19 industry sectors contracted in the September quarter, with construction dropping 0.9 per cent and mining activity down 0.7 per cent.
Agriculture, forestry and fishing surged 18.5 per cent in the quarter, with farm GDP rising 21 per cent, the fastest quarterly gain in 17 years.
The household savings ratio jumped to 10.2 per cent, while productivity fell by 0.1 per cent in the quarter.
Inflation looked to be under control in the quarter, with the household price deflator up just 0.3 per cent in the three-month period and 2 per cent over the full year.
The RBA and the Treasury are now talking about a "three-speed" economy, made up of fast-growing mining and mining-related sectors, other trade-exposed sectors like manufacturing that are expanding more slowly, and non-traded sectors growing at a rate somewhere in between.
NSW was the fastest-growing state in the September quarter, with state final demand increasing 1.4 per cent. Western Australia expanded 0.4 per cent, while Victoria posted a contraction of 0.1 per cent and Queensland retreated 0.5 per cent.
Mr Swan cited the uneven growth to rebuff calls by Business Council of Australia president
"They wanted more spending on education and skills, they wanted a lower company tax rate and they wanted us to come back to surplus at the same time," Mr Swan said of the BCA comments.
"We can't have everything at once if we actually do want to run a tight fiscal policy."
Australia has performed better than most other developed economies over the past year, benefiting from surging demand from China, India and other Asian countries for iron ore, coal and liquefied natural gas.
"China should remain Australia's most important export market while trade links with India and the emerging markets more generally will deepen," said Sukhy Ubhi, an economist at Capital Economics.
The latest statistics show no let-up in the performance of either the Chinese or the Indian economies.
China's manufacturing grew at a faster pace in November, while India's economy expanded 8.9 per cent for a second straight quarter in the three months to September 30.
While Australia's mining sector and mining-related industries will benefit from continued demand from the world's two most populous nations, other industries continue to do it tough as they struggle with higher interest rates.
Some sectors of the economy appear to have remained weak in the December quarter, with an index of manufacturing released yesterday showing the sector contracted in November for a third straight month.
The performance of manufacturing index compiled by the Australian Industry Group fell 1.8 points to 47.6, below the 50-point level separating expansion from contraction.
Retail sales and trade data for October, due to be released today, will also show how the economy is faring in the December quarter.

A diplomat is a person who specializes in facilitating peaceful relations between different factions, often by serving as a negotiator or a neutral mediator of disputes. A diplomat who is a citizen of one power may be hired or appointed to professionally serve the interests of another power. (TNG: "The Price")
The Dominion genetically engineered the Vorta to serve as their diplomats, scientists, and military commanders. After drinking a glass of Kanar containing voraxna poison, Weyoun remarked that his Vorta resistance to poison, "comes in handy when you're a diplomat". (DS9: "Ties of Blood and Water")
Federation, and before that United Earth, Starfleet starship commanders were sometimes called upon to serve as diplomats, whether by specific assignment or by emergent necessity. (ENT: "United"; TNG: "The Ensigns of Command", "Captain's Holiday", "The Outrageous Okona") First contact and the official establishment of relations with an alien race was an important diplomatic responsibility entrusted to starship commanders. (TNG: "The Big Goodbye", "Tin Man", "Darmok"; Star Trek: Insurrection)
While in command of the USS Enterprise-A following the arrest of James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy on suspicion of assassinating Klingon Chancellor Gorkon, Spock ordered the crew to "piece together what happened here tonight." When Pavel Chekov asked what would happen if the crew could not properly reconstruct those events, Spock replied, "Then Mr. Chekov, it resides in the hands of the diplomats." Ironically, it was Spock's own diplomatic efforts that led to the meeting of Kirk and Gorkon in the first place. (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)
Feeling responsible for Kirk and McCoy's arrest and show trial at the hands of the Khitomer conspiracy, Spock sought to avoid prematurely vouching for Federation approval when he began to secretly work toward Vulcan reunification with the Romulans. However, by acting without official sanction, Captain Jean-Luc Picard accused Spock of engaging in "cowboy diplomacy." (TNG: "Unification II")

P.S. I also swapped out the MAF sensor with a spare one i had laying around so that is eliminated from the list of possible causes.
Any help is greatly appreciated as always.

The big girl bed
We do have one problem though. We perhaps didn't realise at the time how easy Harry's transition to a bed was. Well, he wasn't a great sleeper anyway, and he certainly didn't sleep any worse in the bed. When he woke up he would just lie there screaming, and it took him months to get out of bed by himself. Mia worked it out immediately, and putting her in bed and closing the door is followed immediately by pattering footsteps across the room and whimpering at the door.
We haven't worked out a strategy yet. We are just going back in and returning her to bed and after a few tries she is staying there and going to sleep. I'm a bit worried as to where we are heading though - I have visions of evenings ahead where we spend the entire evening returning her to bed before collapsing exhausted into bed ourselves. Then even worse, repeating this throughout the night.
I'd love to hear any tips that you might have about persuading young toddlers to stay in bed once you put them there!

Emily's Big Girl Bed is being put up this weekend - she is very excited! Need to go and get some bedding tomorrow though. I have no advice on keeping children in bed I'm afraid as until a year or so ago Laura wouldn't even get out of bed in the morning, she'd just lie there shouting until someone came and got her. And Emily won't be able to climb out of her bed. Here's hoping she doesn't fall out (but her cot is definitely getting too small).ReplyDeleteReplies
Good luck! Harry wouldn't get out of bed himself either, he would just lie there shouting Mummy. I think it was when he was tall enough to open the door himself that he used to jump out and come running into our room.Delete
Nowadays I have trouble getting Laura out of bed at all. Yesterday she said 'But Mummy, I'm TIRED in the mornings.' Aren't we all, dear.Delete
I love Mia's sheets BTW. Emily is getting Peppa Pig.
I LOVE that bedding, cuteness! :) xReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, it's lovely isn't it!Delete
It took us a week to convince our daughter to stay in bed. On the first night she got up 18 times between 2am and 4am! All we did was silently take her back to bed and leave her. No talking, no kisses, no cuddles, no attention. It took her a week to realise it wasn't much fun and stayed in bed. In the morning a groclock helped. When she knew what time she was allowed to come in to our room it helped her stay in hers until a sensible hour.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow, I don't think that even our worst nights have been that bad! We have a Groclock for Harry and it's wonderful, he used to get up at 5am and it really changed our lives. In fact we've just ordered a second one for Mia, although I think we'll hold off for a few months yet until she's old enough to get the hang of it.Delete
I think that is perfect advice, it probably won't take long for her to get the message.Delete

Vanessa Hudgens Hits the Gym with Sister Stella
With her hat pulled down over her eyes, Vanessa Hudgens and her sister, Stella, headed to the gym in Studio City, California on Saturday (January 12).
The "Spring Breakers" star looked cute in a black zip-up sweatshirt, midriff-baring black top, and navy pants with her white headphones hanging on her neck.
In her upcoming spring break flick, the 24-year-old actress plays one of four college girls who land in jail after robbing a restaurant in order to fund their vacation, but find themselves bailed out by a drug and arms dealer who wants them to do some dirty work.
Joining Ms. Hudgens in the young cast are Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, James Franco, and Heather Morris.

NEW YORK - Of the four openly gay members of Congress, the two longest-serving stalwarts are vacating their seats. Instead of fretting, their activist admirers are excited about a record number of gays vying to win seats in the next Congress - and to make history in the process.
When the oaths of office are taken in January, Congress could have its first openly gay Asian-American, Mark Takano of California; its first openly bisexual member, Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona; and its first openly gay senator, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
In all, eight openly gay candidates are running as major-party nominees for the House of Representatives, the most ever, including the two incumbents who are favored in their races - Democrats Jared Polis of Colorado and David Cicilline of Rhode Island. There's one gay Republican in the group, Richard Tisei, who is waging a competitive campaign for a House seat from Massachusetts.
A common denominator in all the races: Neither the gay candidates nor their rivals are stressing sexual orientation, and the oft-heard refrain is, "It's not an issue." If anti-gay innuendo does surface from lower echelons of a campaign, there are swift disavowals - even conservative candidates these days think twice about being depicted as biased against gays and lesbians.
"People know that bigotry is bad politics," said Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton who is trying to oust one-term Republican Nan Hayworth from New York's 18th District in the Hudson Valley.
Maloney, who'd be the first openly gay member of Congress from New York, has assailed Hayworth for not supporting federal recognition of same-sex marriage, but says voters are focused on economic and health care issues, not gay rights.
"The voters in my district care more about why my opponent wants to end Medicare and defund Planned Parenthood than about who I love," said Maloney, who is raising three children with his partner of 20 years.
The veterans departing from the House are Barney Frank, D-Mass., perhaps the most powerful gay in elective office who is retiring after 16 terms, and Baldwin, who is vacating her House seat after seven terms to run for the Senate. Recent polls show her running slightly ahead of her GOP opponent, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson.
Thompson has not made an issue of Baldwin's sexual orientation, and said it was "a mistake" for his political director to have sent emails with a link to a video of Baldwin dancing at a 2010 gay pride festival.
Chuck Wolfe of the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, which recruits and supports gay political candidates, said Thompson's response epitomized the changed atmosphere in which Republicans are less inclined to use sexual orientation as a wedge issue and anti-gay attacks are becoming taboo.
Baldwin's decision to run for the Senate prompted another openly gay Democrat, state legislator Mark Pocan, to enter the race to fill her seat from the 2nd District based in Madison. Pocan is a heavy favorite.
In Arizona, Sinema and Republican Vernon Parker are squaring off in a newly reconfigured district in the Phoenix area that both parties view as winnable. Sinema, 36, has been a staunch gay-rights advocate during eight years in the Legislature and is at ease acknowledging her bisexuality.
Like Sinema, Mark Takano is considered a strong candidate in a newly redrawn and competitive district - the 41st District that includes Riverside. The GOP nominee, John Tavaglione, hasn't made an issue of Takano's sexuality
Takano, a 51-year-old high school teacher, ran losing races for Congress in 1992 and again in 1994, when he was routed by a GOP rival who sent anti-Takano mailers in shades of pink after Takano's sexual orientation became an issue.
"That became front-page news," Takano said. "Today, it's just an interesting part of my background as opposed to being a sensational story... People look back at what happened 18 years ago and say, `I can't believe we ever did those things."'

Classy Gilchrist leads Kings XI to vital victory
Javinder Singh | cricket20
The Kings XI Punjab kept their IPL play offs hopes alive thanks to a six wicket victory over the Chennai Super Kings at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
Fit again Adam Gilchrist (64) lead the way with a well play half century as he help side chase down the Super Kings victory target of 121 with 22 balls to spare.
The victory keeps alive the Kings XI play off hopes but they will need to win their final match against the Delhi DareDevils on Saturday and hope other matches go their way.
The Super Kings meanwhile face the prospect of being knocked out of the race for a place in the play offs if the Royal Challengers Bangalore win both of their remaining matches.
It proved to be a disappointing day for the visitors after they were restricted to a total of just 120-7 after being put into bat by fight again Kings XI skipper Adam Gilchrist.
Dwayne Bravo offered some hope with a top score of 48 but with wickets falling at regular intervals the Super Kings never really got the innings going as the Kings XI took control of the match.

Another Voice: E-cigarettes need to be regulated, quickly
By Frank J. Dinan
One day when I was a chemistry graduate student, an emergency toxicology team suddenly arrived at our laboratory. A student had spilled nicotine and if it was absorbed through his skin, he would probably die. Fortunately, he was protected by extensive safety equipment and he lived, but it was a frightening moment for us all.
Today, anyone can buy nicotine-containing "e-juice" for electronic cigarettes from kiosks in malls and "vapor" stores everywhere, and it is a safe bet that they are not wearing safety equipment. The nicotine comes in "flavors," such as Key Lime pie, cotton candy, honey tobacco and many others that are designed to appeal to potential young users seeking to be cool by "vaping." E-cigarette sales and usage are not regulated by state or federal law. There is also no quality control protection for consumers; it's strictly the Wild West.
E-cigarettes use a tiny rechargeable battery to power a heater that evaporates the e-juice, which then mixes with organic chemicals used in antifreezes to form their opaque "vapors." Research at Roswell Park Cancer Institute has shown these vapors to contain several carcinogenic chemicals and nicotine that may be inhaled by both users and bystanders.
The exhaled vapors condense on surfaces, endangering the health of anyone touching them. This is particularly a threat to children, since their small size makes exposure much more hazardous than the equivalent exposure is to an adult. Clearly, this situation should be controlled under clean air legislation.
A recent report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that the percentage of high school students using e-cigarettes more than doubled from 4.7 percent in 2011 to 10 percent in 2012. Amazingly, the report also indicates that 1.78 million middle and high school students used e-cigarettes in 2012 and confirms the success of the cunning e-cigarette marketing strategy.
This troubling information suggests that this rapidly growing group of young people is being exposed to nicotine, which is well-established as powerfully addictive. The experimentation of these youngsters may be dooming them to a lifetime of e-cigarette or conventional cigarette usage. Every effort should be made to inform parents and children of the hazards of e-cigarettes.
The current situation cries out for rapid and effective regulation. It took many years to reduce smoking to its present lower level and to minimize the exposure of the non-smoking public to cigarette smoke. The good news is that we now know how to do this. We should each urge our legislators to act immediately, using this hard-won knowledge to bring e-cigarette sales and use under responsible control.
Frank J. Dinan, Ph.D., is professor emeritus in the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department at Canisius College.

I've just got back from a project in Tanzania - can't believe how quickly it went, the whole experience was amazing and I'm gutted to be home already. I'm already missing the crew out there loads, everyone got on so well and I'll definitely be meeting up with some of them for a night out soon. The place itself is like something out of a film- unbelievably beautiful and the weather is bloody amazing - which meant the beach parties were very cool! I went from being an absolute beginner at diving to passing my PADI open water and I am hooked for life, it's totally addictive and seeing seven whale sharks in one day was a once in a lifetime experience. Even working at the school which I thought would be boring was an unexpectedly mindblowing experience- the culture is so different from what any of us were used to but the people were legendary- really friendly and so appreciative of our work. The beach clean ups were knackering but spending time threre makes you want to help with environmental work. Would definitely recommend Frontier- staff were nice and no problems in terms of organization.

I have been reading about the mandate Obama has to raise taxes. Everyone has an opinion.
Article 1, Section 7 starts out like this:
"All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills."
So how does Obama figure HE has the right to raise revenue taxes, if, essentially, the same House of Representative was re-elected?
Go ahead and take the tax hike plan out for a spin Mr. President.
Nobody will mind.
But if you want to know what your Obama-voter mandate really was, here it is:
Your mandate was to give stuff away to people - so they would vote for you.
That is the balance of power we have here in America.
As citizens in failed states move to more Red States the House of Representatives should be a bit more enthusiastic about who they are and what their job is.
Or they will be voted out.
2014 will be a referendum on them.

Spring Pea Purée with Preserved LemonMay 20, 2013 | By | COMMENTS
Spring peas require patience. You have to take the time to go to the farmer's market to find them and then you have to remove them from their pods. If you have a lazy afternoon ahead and you want to sit on your front porch rocking in a chair and chatting with neighbors, by all means, shell a bunch of peas. Me? When a recipe calls for fresh peas vs. frozen peas, I always opt for frozen peas. Because they're always so good and sweet. And because I don't have a porch. And because I'm lazy. Stop judging me.
So last Thursday, when my friend Zach was coming over for dinner, I recalled a Spring Pea Puree (actually called a "Lemony Pea Mash") from The Canal House by way of Bon Appetit. Though the recipe asks you to make it with 2 pounds of shelled peas, I said "HELL NO" and chose the frozen pea option. I have no regrets.
Look how simple this is: in a pot? Throw in a garlic clove that you quarter, 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves (don't bother to stem), 1 tablespoon olive oil (I used more than that), a pinch of salt, and 1/2 cup of water….
Add 2 cups of peas and simmer 5 minutes for fresh peas and 2 minutes for frozen peas.
Drain and save the cooking liquid.
Place the peas in a food processor and process until smooth.
Now scrape that puree into a bowl and adjust it with lots of stuff. Start by adding a tablespoon of chopped preserved lemon peel (I used some of the flesh too, and more than a tablespoon), a squeeze of lemon juice, Aleppo pepper if you have it (crushed red pepper flakes if you don't), salt, and more olive oil.
Once you mix, if it's really stiff, you can use some of that reserved cooking liquid to lighten it up (like you do with hummus). I didn't have to do that, though, because I was very happy with my puree. Wouldn't you be happy with this?
It was sweet from the peas, acidic from the lemon, and slightly spicy from the pepper.
To serve, cut thick slices of sourdough bread and heat a cast iron skillet on high heat until very hot. Add the bread to the skillet and press down so more bread touches the hot surface.
When you flip, you should have some nice color on it.
Notice I didn't add any oil to the skillet. This is my new indoor grilling technique, something I'll write about tomorrow, wherein I really try to replicate the effects of the grill rather than simply frying something in hot oil. Because there's no oil in the skillet, the bread really takes on a "grilled" flavor. Actually let's take "grilled" out of quotes: grilled flavor.
At that point, I rubbed the bread with garlic and brushed it with olive oil.
I topped it with the spring pea puree and sprinkled everything with more Aleppo pepper.
This is a great way to start a spring/early summer dinner party whether you use fresh peas or frozen peas or both. If you can't find preserved lemon, just skip it. Cook your peas with garlic and parsley in water, blend up with olive oil and lemon juice, and serve on grilled bread. Voila: easy peasy.

Sinatra said, "If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere" about New York City in his timeless ode to the Big Apple, entitled New York, New York. He's absolutely right, with New York City seen as the mecca, the big time, and at times considered the world's capital. When it comes to making capital in any field, New York City tends to be in the top 3 or the number one city to live in to "make it" in an industry whether it's music, media, and even art.
New York City's art scene has traveled through all 5 of New York City's boroughs and through many forms – subway train and building graffiti, sculptures, and purchased paintings that show in galleries. As much as starving artists struggle to make it in New York City, whether they be painters, musicians, dancers or actors, there are a number of cities where they can make substantial strides without having to work two jobs and donate blood and sperm just to make it to their audition.
Policy Mic lists 5 cities in the United States that are booming in television, music, technology, and art and are much cheaper to live in than New York City. Check out the full list from Policy Mic here.

Milwaukee ranks in Top 10 U.S. cities for urban forests
The non-profit conservation group American Forests reports that Milwaukee is on of the top 10 U.S. cities for urban forests.
The list was determined by a judging panel consisting of leading urban forest experts, combined with an in-depth survey and independent data.
"Many cities across the U.S. are doing great work to care for their urban forests," says Scott Steen, American Forests CEO and member of the judging panel.
"Milwaukee first developed an urban forest plan a century ago, and since then, the city has continually altered its activities and practices to address various threats to its forest over the decades. Today, the city boasts a well-maintained, healthy forest thanks to its government, neighborhood groups, nonprofits and others."
American Forests defines urban forests as "ecosystems of trees and other vegetation in and around communities that may consist of street and yard trees, vegetation within parks and along public rights of way and water systems."
The group reports that Milwaukee has more than 3.3 million trees that provide $15 million in stormwater savings and remove 496 tons of pollution annually. In addition, the city has 25 acres of parks for every 1,000 residents.
The judges chose the top 10 cities based on varied criteria that included the government's involvement with developing green spaces and urban forests and the accessibility to the public of those spaces.
The other cities identified to be in the top 10 were Austin, Charlotte, Denver, Minneapolis, New York, Portland, Sacramento, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Or maybe, like another notorious politician who served only two years in office, Grayson can star in his own reality show?
But Grayson has put his finger on the logic of the conservative approach to the issue.
Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD) is another anti-war freshman joining Grayson on the barricades.
"In the past two years the Fed has completely upended the manner in which it's done business," Grayson said.
"I have nothing to complain about," Grayson told me cheerfully.
"And it's lucky for me that 'King' Plummer is my friend," said Mr. Grayson, sincerely.
She introduced the stranger as Mr. Grayson and called him Tim.
The stranger shook hands with Mr. and Mrs. Grayson, and expressed vocally the pleasure that his eyes also conveyed.
Oh aye, you were in the first ten," said Suton; "Mr Grayson told me so.
The Grayson girls, whose dance Chèrie had refused at the beginning of the month, came to see her.

Repair a dim headlight
If your car has a headlight that puts out about as much light as a flashlight with weak batteries, we've got two simple fixes for you.
Most DIYers think they've got a bad headlight switch or a bad connection in the power feed. But most dim headlights are caused by a corroded ground wire. Just trace the wiring harness from the back of each headlight assembly and see where it connects to the vehicle body. Clean it as described in the photo.
Another possibility is that as headlight filaments age, they deposit a gray/brown film on the inside of the bulb (See Photo). Over time, that coating can reduce visibility by almost 300 ft. If your headlights aren't as bright as they used to be, yank one of the bulbs and look for gray or brown residue on the glass. If you find any, replace both bulbs now and get back to seeing more of the road.

YES, The Lord JESUS CHRIST is Coming Again!!! He will come in two stages: The first will occur at "The Rapture", the "Taking Up" of the True Church, which includes all the Believers who have died in the past and all the believers who are alive when it happens! This is THE GREAT HOPE OF THE TRUE CHURCH!!! As He tells us in: *I Thes4:16-17
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
He shall not come down to earth, we will meet Him "in the Air", we will become immortal as we receive our new "Resurection" Bodies which will be raised incorruptible. We are to remain Faithful and continue to "Preach The Gospel to every Creature" as we look forward to His IMMINENT RETURN for His own as He says in: *Titus2:13-14
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works."
After this comes the seven years of "The Great Tribulation" in which the AntiChrist will reign on earth and bring terrible death and destruction. Then comes the Final Stage of our Lord JESUS CHRIST's return to earth to Reign for A Thousand years, The Millennium Kingdom! The AntiChrist is destroyed by The Lord JESUS CHRIST at Armageddon along with everything and all the unsaved, except the 144,000 Israelites Saved from the 12 Tribes of Israel and the Multitude of people Saved by their Witnessing. As The Lord tell us:*Mat24:29-31
"And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His Angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other."
Here is our Lord's advice and comfort for us today: *John10:27,28
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
*I Thes5:21
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."
And, regarding His Coming: *Mt24:36
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh."
* Bible Verses = KJV

South Africa go 2-1 up in one-day series
Page Tools
Herschelle Gibbs hit his 14th one-day international century to set up an emphatic 108-run win for South Africa in the pivotal fourth limited overs cricket international against England at Newlands today.
South Africa hammered 5-291 after being sent in on a good batting pitch.
It proved far too many for England which was bowled out for 183 in 41.2 overs.
Kevin Pietersen played a virtual lone hand for England, hitting 75 off 85 balls.
The win put South Africa 2-1 up in the seven-match series.
Gibbs and Jacques Kallis (71) shared a third wicket stand of 143 off 189 balls.
It set up a savage assault in the last 10 overs by Justin Kemp, who pounded 57 off 35 balls with four sixes and four fours before being run out off the last ball of the innings.
Gibbs, who batted at No.4, played his third successive innings of 50 or more since he moved into the middle of the order.
All his previous one-day international tons were made as an opener.
"Batting at No.4 is a new experience for me," said Gibbs.
"I'm enjoying it. It's a different mindset. I've got to try to be consistent. I'd like to make the position my own."
The stand between Kallis and Gibbs started slowly against some steady bowling from Darren Gough, Kabir Ali and Paul Collingwood after South Africa lost its first two wickets for 50 runs.
The pair needed 85 balls to put on their first 50 runs but Gibbs picked up the pace after making a half-century off 73 deliveries.
On 71 Gibbs skied a drive against Ali and Gough at long-off leapt to hold a good catch but fell over the boundary in taking it.
It was the first of three sixes by Gibbs, who raced through his second 50 off only 41 balls.
But he was out off the next ball he faced, slogging Steve Harmison to long-off.
His 115-ball innings included eight fours and three sixes.
Kemp played a spectacular innings, with Ali taking the heaviest punishment, conceding 36 runs off his last two overs.
Harmison was included in place of Matthew Hoggard but he proved inaccurate and expensive, conceding 65 runs and sending down five wides.
Michael Vaughan returned as England captain after missing the third match in Port Elizabeth because of a stomach virus.
Vikram Solanki, who top-scored for England in Port Elizabeth, was left out.
South Africa, who won the third match by three wickets, were unchanged.
"We weren't quite on our game in all three departments," Vaughan said.
"It has been a tough schedule with four games in a week but there are no excuses. South Africa played a better game than us today."
Pietersen played another hard-hitting innings but the highest partnership in the innings was his fourth wicket stand of 38 with Andrew Strauss.
Ntini took 3-29.

Terrorists´ remains en route to PA (YNetNews.Com -Yedioth Internet) Yoav Zitun, Elior Levy Published: 05.31.12, 07:43)

Bodies of 91 terrorists responsible for dozens of attacks which claimed hundreds of Israeli lives to be transported to West Bank, Gaza Strip
Israel began transporting the remains of 91 terrorists to the Palestinian Authority Thursday morning, as part of a good will gesture by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Operation "Crossing Jordan" will see the remains of 91 terrorists, responsible for murdering hundreds of Israelis, transferred to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A convoy of six trucks will transfer the remains of 79 terrorists to Ramallah, while two additional trucks will travel to Erez crossing, with the remains of 12 terrorists.
GOC Central Command´s Chief Rabbi Lt.-Colonel Yoav Oknin will oversee the operation.
The operation was launched in early May, when the IDF Rabbinate began exhuming and verifying the identities of the remains, buried in the enemy combatants´ cemetery in the Jordan Valley.
The IDF Rabbinate drafted dozens of its reserve soldiers to assist in the operation, which was conducted under a closed military zone order, as well as a media embargo.
The Palestinian Authority is planning an official ceremony to mark the remains "homecoming" at the Mukataa in Ramallah, with President Abbas and top Palestinian officials in attendance.
Following the service, the remains will be shuttled to the various Palestinian cities for burial.
Hamas government in Gaza is planning a full military service for the remains. Members of all Palestinian factions are expected to attend. The remains of each terrorist will receive a 21-gun solute.
The Almagor Terror Victims Association, which objected to the move, said it will petition the High Court to order the government to release the full list of terrorists included in the deal.
"The victims´ families and the Israeli public deserve to be made aware of facts that the Palestinian public already knows," the group said in a statement. (Copyright 2012 © Yedioth Internet 05/31/12)

This year, three Native American tribes will have the power to prosecute non-natives for a limited set of crimes. Soon Judge Melvin R. Stoof, who graduated from the UNM School of Law in 1984, will be the first tribal judge in the country to hear a tribal criminal case against a non-Indian in 36 years. Stoof is an associate judge on the Pascua Yaqui Trial Court, located near Tucson, Arizona.
In the 1978 Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe case, the Supreme Court decided that Indian tribal courts do not have inherent criminal jurisdiction to try and to punish non-Indians. In the decision, the Supreme Court noted, "we are not unaware of the prevalence of non-Indian crime on today's reservations which the tribes forcefully argue requires the ability to try non-Indians."
For decades, domestic violence crimes were committed by non-Indians against Native women on tribal lands and perpetrators were rarely brought to justice. According to recent data collected by the Justice Department, the U.S. Census Bureau and advocacy organizations, Native American women suffer from domestic violence at rates more than double national averages. Most sexual assaults on tribal lands are never reported and of those reported, 75% are not prosecuted.
In 2013, the Violence Against Women Act was expanded, giving tribes the authority to prosecute non-Indians crimes for a limited set of crimes. The changes to tribal jurisdiction resulted from the high rate of domestic violence on reservations and in order to give tribes more authority over crime, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
The opportunity to bring justice to victims of domestic violence crimes committed by non-Indians is an exciting one for Stoof and the Pascua Yaqui court staff. "Although I cannot comment on pending cases, I know that the alleged perpetrators have protections through their licensed attorneys at the public defender's office, and the prosecutors are also law trained and state licensed," says Stoof.
Stoof hopes that this experience will assist him in fairly deciding domestic violence cases. "I am also hopeful that the new federal law will increase funding to promote more training on domestic violence, especially for tribal court judges, who often do not have the same training resources or funds to access such training as their better financed state counterparts," says Stoof.
For the past twenty years, he has personally been involved in the enhancement of law training for tribal court judge's skills, particularly in the area of domestic violence. "I served three terms as a Commissioner with the American Bar Association's Commission on Domestic Violence, and I recently completed a two year term on Eric Holder's National Advisory Committee on Violence Against Women," he says.
Stoof was interviewed by Washington Post writer Sari Horwitz for an article titled, "A change in justice on Indian reservations." The article has received comments hundreds of likes, comments, and shares on the Washington Post Facebook page and attention from other media outlets.

Indeed, throughout the 40-minute presser, Frank seemed almost jolly.
Ktoropin: Amanpour just questioned Ahmadinejad at his presser.
A presser bar is now brought down to close or press all the points of the needle beards into the eye in the shank.
"And I, for my part, don't see what wisdom there is to it," said the presser with a shrug.
The idlers, or presser rollers, should not fit tight enough to bind, but must fit closely enough to hold the film securely.
Stitching can be done more easily on the right of the presser foot with the bulk of the material lying to the left.
presser feet are made solid for ordinary purposes, although alternating feet can be fitted when desired.
The chain is held taut, and weights applied to the presser on the beam while the latter is rotated.
The presser keeps this in motion with his left hand, whilst with the right he guides the polisher.
Then you must have two pieces of smooth board, to put the papers between, and a box full of stones for a presser.

By Judy Keen, USA TODAY
States and localities across the nation are taking novel steps to crack down on suspected welfare cheats, including mandatory home visits, sophisticated database searches and even DNA tests.
Some people suspected of welfare fraud in Minnesota's Anoka County are being ordered to be swabbed for DNA samples. The county has prosecuted eight criminal cases in the past three years after using DNA to identify a supposedly absent parent. To get illegal benefits, applicants for public aid lied about whether their children's father lived in the home. Only single-parent families are eligible for some aid.
WELFARE '09: More enroll in assistance programs
Jack Heacock of the United Council on Welfare Fraud, a professional group, says tight budgets have resulted in layoffs of investigators and increased emphasis on technology to catch cheaters. How other communities are tracking public aid fraud:
•San Diego County, Calif., investigators visit the homes of public aid applicants to verify occupancy of an eligible child, check assets and make sure an "absent" parent doesn't live in the home. The practice has been upheld in court. "We have zero tolerance toward welfare fraud," says John Haley, commander of the financial crimes division for the district attorney. In 2009, inconsistencies were found in 24% of 23,671 applications, saving $4.5 million.
•Pennsylvania's Department of Public Welfare saved taxpayers $75 million in the 2009-10 fiscal year with sophisticated anti-fraud and abuse-detection software that analyzes 27 million medical assistance claims each year "in ways never before anticipated," spokesman Michael Race says. Applicants also are checked against 14 databases, including out-of-state employment and federal deceased-persons records.
•In Michigan, some legislators want to crack down on college students' use of debit cards that replaced food stamps, along with the trading of benefits for drugs and alcohol. State Rep. Dave Agema, a Republican, wants random drug tests for welfare recipients, photos on food cards and sting operations on campuses. "We've got to tighten things up," he says.
•In Anoka County, Minn., as the recession increases the need for assistance, it's vital to ensure recipients really qualify, says Bryan Lindberg, chief of the property and drug crime division for the county attorney. "One thing we battle is this sense of entitlement some people have: 'I'm entitled to that money, and I can do what I want to get it,' " he says.
Chuck Samuelson, executive director of the ACLU of Minnesota, calls Anoka County's use of DNA tests "a civil liberties minefield." The ACLU hasn't challenged the policy, he says, but "obviously this is the sort of Big Brother thing the ACLU has been preaching about forever."
In a 2009 Anoka County case, a woman who said she didn't know the identities of her children's father had received $222,704 in public assistance since 1992. DNA tests identified the man who fathered a minor child still living in the home. The woman pleaded guilty and will be sentenced Sept. 22.
A judge must approve search warrants for the DNA tests. Penalties for welfare fraud can include up to 10 years in prison.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0021 Friday, 18 January 2013
Date: January 17, 2013 8:24:51 PM EST
Subject: Size of Touring Troupe in Gdansk, 1654
Not always up on my Continental touring data, I was surprised to read, in a handsomely produced pamphlet from the Gdanski Teatr Szekspirowski , a troupe's 1654 petition for permission to play in the purpose-built playhouse designed to accommodate touring English actors, a building known as the Gdansk Fencing School.
In translation it reads:
"Herr Bergomaster // High, Honourable, Stern, Noble, Praiseworthy, Most Wise and Especially Respected Lords, // Since the time approaches when the St Dominic's Fair will be held again, of which time all manner of amusements are permitted, we have come here in a rather large company of 24 persons in the hope that it may be permitted us to present sundry religious and secular plays to be watched and listened to, both comedies and tragedies, most of which are new and ingenious and yet noble at the same time. This is what we have humbly and appropriately seen fit to beg Your Magnificences, namely to show us grace not only by granting us permission to play, but by assigning the Fencing School to us, as being a very suitable place. We for our part will gladly make an appropriate payment. Besides this, we will behave in such a way that everyone will take pleasure in watching us. In expectation of your gracious and favorable response, we remain // Your True Humble // I, William Roe in the name of // the whole company."
Though many theories have been offered concerning the size of troupes of traveling players, my admittedly partial memory of those arguments does not recall any hard evidence for just how many players, boys, assistants, wranglers, teamsters or porters may have been on the road together. The "rather large company of 24 persons" seems not have been customary at any time. And it may well have been especially large in 1654, after the closing of the theaters in London. Nevertheless 24 is at least a pretty definite and pretty big number. One ought not generalize from a sample of one, but this one documented touring troupe had lots of players available. And it seems to go against this one hard nugget of evidence just to assume that a script like Romeo and Juliet Q1 (1597) Or Henry V Q1 (1600) must have been cut down for a touring troupe. Or that touring companies before the closings would have been accustomed to playing scripts reduced to be managed by small groups of only ten or a dozen.
Time for me to get back to reading more of Susan Cerasano, Roslyn Knutson, and others who have written about acting companies on the roads.

Free Computer Recycling by Dell and GoodwillApril 17, 2010 1 Comment
Since last April 6, 2010, Dell and Goodwill Industries International extended its free computer recycling program in Canada. Drop-off points for unused computers and even computer accessories and parts are at Renaissance and Goodwill Great Lakes.
As a part of Dell and Goodwill Industries International's Reconnect partnership, this expansion is a great move for Dell's campaign to help consumers recycle computers and even help the environment as well by providing free service and reusing computer materials.
With this act for nature and the computer industry, more and more people are being aware of how to dispose properly and how such companies promote the recycling or remanufacturing of computer accessories such as toner cartridges.

Feature Interactions in Telecommunications and Software Systems V
K. Kimbler and L.G. Bouma
160x240mm pp.361 Yen13500 1998
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Feature Interactions in Telecommunications and Software System held in Lund, Sweden from September 29 to October 1, 1998. A feature interaction occurs when different service features influence each other, especially in an unforeseen or undesired way. The term originates from telecommunications, but is not restricted to it. The phenomena of feature interactions can occur in any large and distributed software.
Undesired interactions can be observed quite often when new features are added to an existing system. Telecom market puts more pressure on service providers to rapidly introduce new services. Finding effective and efficient means to manage feature interactions is vital for telecommunications and other software systems.

I've been searching for this topic and have found some answers, but not quite what I need. I have 16 pages out of all the pages in my site in which I need to place an image (a different one for each of the 16 pages) in the sidebar area. I have already created a pgmpage page type for these pages to differentiate them from the regular pages. I've tried creating a "sidebar" page and typing "
$Page(SidebarPage).Content
 in my Page.ss code and it works, but it places the same image in every page. Close, but not really. I seem to not know enough about the coding to make the sidebar only appear on certain pages, then assign different images to each sidebar on each page. Would someone know how to do this? Thanks.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) gadget guru Steve Jobs recently told Bloomberg that he has no plan to squander the companies $43 billion cash horde on something as paltry as dividends or buybacks. Nor do Apple Inc. and Jobs want to go the way of Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG), which makes a habit of a few dozen buyouts and acquisitions for a few billion each year – with 25 total deals for Google in 2010, and 6 already in 2011.
In the words of Jobs, Apple is content to sit on its hoard and wait for "bold" investment opportunities for buyout targets or acquisitions. And until the perfect scenario arises, that war chest — $10.7 billion in cash & equivalents, $16.2 billion in short-term investments, $10.8 billion in receivables and $5.1 billion in "other" assets as of the end of 2010 – is quite a mammoth horde for Apple to mull over.
Just how mammoth is Apple's cash? Take a look:
Apple's Cash vs. Blue Chip Stocks
As Big As: There's much ado about how Apple was closing in on Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM) for the largest stock by market cap on Wall Street. At least, before the oil surge sent Exxon out of reach, anyway. But consider that the $43 billion bigger than the market size of Nike (NYSE: NKE). iPods in your workout shoes, anyone? Also, it's bigger than Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) – in case the creative minds at Apple feel like making crazy investment schemes instead of creative consumer gadgets. Other companies under the $43 billion threshold include auctioneer eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), media stock Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) and agri giant Monsanto (NYSE: MON).
2x Bigger Than: Why stop at one company though, when Apple's cash is worth a pair of big-name blue chips? If Apple wanted to get into retail, the combo of TJX Cos. (NYSE: TJX) and Kohl's (NYSE: KSS) is under the $43 billion limit. Want to play the gold rush? $43 billion is larger than the market caps of both Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC) and Anglogold Ashanti (NYSE: AU) combined. Feel like a bigger push into media? Apple could scoop up Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) and Discovery Communications (NYSE: DISCA).
3x Bigger Than: If Apple was looking for a trifecta, it could mix and match with three of these companies – which are all less than a third the AAPL cash and assets on hand: PPG Industries (NYSE: PPG), Western Union (NYSE: WU), Marriott (NYSE: MAR), Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ: ATVI), Symantec (NASDAQ: SYMC), Progressive (NYSE: PGR), ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) and The Gap (NYSE: GPS).
Apple's Cash vs. the World
iPads for All of Germany: The new entry-level, WiFi only iPad 2 starts at $499. If Apple felt like giving back, it could pay full price for nearly 86,200,000 of the next-gen gadgets. That's enough for each resident in Germany.
Kindles For All Americans: If it felt like juicing rival Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple could purchase nearly 309,400,000 entry-level Kindles at $139 a pop. That's enough for almost every single person in the United States.
That'll Keep the Doctor Away: Right Now, gala apples (my favorite) are on sale at the store down the street for $1.99 a pound. If Apple wanted to, it could buy almost 11 million pounds of the apples. Yum.
