The mulish vehicular display does not end the tale of Denry's splendour.
I was just mulish, I guess, because you were trying to stampede me.
"I tell you I'm as young as I ever was," this from Mr. Langton, in tones of mulish obstinacy.
He had a will of his own; and he was obstinate, mulish, pig-headed.
But let us mount, old Surefoot—mulish in nought but an inveterate aversion to all stumbling.
But here, to my horror, that young man's mulish obstinacy came in.
They were actually the most obstinate, headstrong, mulish people that you could ever imagine.
Powell mounted The Rabbit, a plain bay country-bred much like Corks, but with mulish ears.
Some of the fruits of the delay in holding the Blackfoot council, caused by the mulish and incapable Cumming, were now apparent.
I am not mulish enough to adhere to a resolution when better counsels are given against it.

The olive tree (alternatively: olive leave, olive fruit) is one of the most powerful symbols in the Hebrew Scriptures. The olive is such an essential part of Hebrew life and thought that many of the blessings, prophesies and even curses in Scriptures are connected with this fruit. Significantly, the word "olive" occurs exactly 40 times in the Pre Messianic Scriptures - according to the majority of translations. In many of the references to the olive tree in Scriptures it is quite clear that some or other symbolic or deeper meaning (that is: a meaning that goes beyond the literal meaning of words) is attached to the words "olive" or "olive tree" or "olive oil" or "olive branches". In this study we shall try to learn more about the symbolism of the olive tree - especially with regards to Yahweh's end-time plan with Yisrael - by looking at some of these verses. Let's start off by looking at the meaning of the word "zayit" which is the Hebrew word for "olive" or "olive tree".
All Hebrew words may be traced back to at least one root word which may help to understand the true meaning of that particular word. The word "zayit" is one of those Hebrew words which may have developed from (or may be connected to) more than one root words and therefore it is a word that may carry a number of (hidden) meanings - all of which may lead to a better understanding of the symbolism attached to this word. One source indicates that "zayit" may have come from the root word "zahah" which means "to be bright, to be fresh, to be luxuriant". This makes perfect sense, as the main purpose of olive oil was that it was used as "fuel" for the lamps - especially those used in the house of Yahweh. Yisrael is often compared to the olive tree, because she was called to reflect the light and the brightness of Yahweh in this world.
The word "zayit" also seems to be connected to the word "zuah" which means "to tremble" or "to shake". This is what was done to an olive tree to cause the ripe (and spoiled) olives to fall from the tree. In YeshaYahu 24:13 we read about the remnant being sieved from the rest of the people like a "shaking of the olive tree". This is how Yahweh will select and test and purify his called ones - especially in the end-times - when all kinds of calamities will come upon this earth as a result of its disobedience and transgression of Yahweh's commandments.
Another word with a possible connection with the word "zayit" is the Aramaic word "zuh" which means "to put aside" or "to put away" or "to draw together". Although not much is known about this word, it is not impossible that comparing Yisrael with an olive tree may be intended to indicate that she was supposed to be set-apart from other nations and their customs. Her being put aside was the result of Yahweh being the set-apart One, calling Yisrael to be set-apart as He is set-apart (Wayyikra 11:44-45, see also 1 Kepha / 1 Peter 1:13-16).
There is one more word with a possible connection with "zayit" and that is the well known Hebrew word "zeh" which is usually translated with words like "this", "these", "here", "now" and "thus". These words are called "demonstrative pronouns" and are frequently used in the answer given to questions containing the question-words "which?", "where?", "when?" and "how?". It seems that the symbolism of the olive tree was given, at least partly, to open our eyes to Yahweh's answer to the countless questions we normally ask concerning his end-time plan for this world. Our day and our time is filled with questions like "Which are the called ones of Yahweh?" and "Where should we look for the true Yisrael?" and "When will the end come?" and "How will the set-apart ones be saved?" Our faithful Father has given us the symbol of the olive tree so that our troubled minds and our searching hearts may find rest. The symbol of the olive tree may not provide all the specific answers that we may have wanted. But once the Spirit of Yahweh has removed the veil from our eyes and our ears, we shall begin to see the depths of what the Father has purposed for us from the very beginning. In this regard the symbol of the olive tree should be of great help. Let us look at some of the hidden meanings of the olive tree, together with its fruit and branches.
Bereshiet 8:11 The dove came back to him at evening, and, behold, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
Shemot 23:10-12 For six years you shall sow your land, and shall gather in its increase, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave the animal of the field shall eat. In like manner you shall deal with your vineyard and with your olive grove. Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may have rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the alien may be refreshed.
Shemot 27:20-21 You shall command the children of Yisrael, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aharon and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on behalf of the children of Yisrael.
Devarim 6:10-13 It shall be, when Yahweh your Elohim shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Avraham, to Yitschaq, and to Ja'acov, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you didn't build, and houses full of all good things, which you didn't fill, and cisterns dug out, which you didn't dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you didn't plant, and you shall eat and be full; then beware lest you forget Yahweh, who brought you forth out of the land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage. You shall fear Yahweh your Elohim and Him shall you serve, and shall swear by his name.
Devarim 24:19-22 When you reap your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to get it: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow; that Yahweh your Elohim may bless you in all the work of your hands. When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the foreigner, for the fatherless, and for the widow. When you gather

AAAE Presents Leadership Award to Former Transportation Committee Chairman James L. Oberstar
Alexandria, Va. --The American Association of Airport Executives recently honored the Honorable James L. Oberstar with an association Leadership Award in recognition of "his decades of faithful public service and unparalleled leadership on airport and aviation policy issues."
"The role that Jim Oberstar has played in making our nation's air transportation system the safest and most efficient in the world cannot be overstated," AAAE President Chip Barclay said. "Over the course of his distinguished, four-decade plus career in the House of Representatives as a staff member and as an elected official, Jim played a key role in shaping virtually every policy and statute that governs the U.S. aviation system. His leadership will be missed, but his legacy lives on to the benefit of airports, the aviation industry, and the American public."
Oberstar represented Minnesota's 8th Congressional District for 36 years. He was a long-serving member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which he chaired from 2007 through 2010. Much of his work on that committee and its aviation subcommittee was dedicated to improving aviation safety and infrastructure.
In accepting the award from AAAE, Oberstar said he was "deeply moved and humbled" and referred to the airport community as "family."
Founded in 1928, AAAE (www.aaae.org) is the world's largest professional organization representing the men and women who work at public-use commercial and general aviation airports. AAAE's 5,000-plus members represent some 850 airports and hundreds of companies and organizations that support the airport industry. Headquartered in Alexandria, Va., AAAE serves its membership through results-oriented representation in Washington, D.C., and delivers a wide range of industry services and professional development opportunities, including training, conferences, and a highly respected accreditation program.

In overnight Asian trade, a pound was worth $1.705, although it slipped back below $1.7 in the European afternoon.
The dollar's weakness reflected worries over the US' ability to finance its trade deficit - currently equivalent to about 5% of annual economic output.
The rise in the value of the pound spells trouble for those UK companies that depend on the US for a high proportion of their sales.
Some of the UK's biggest companies - including BP, Vodafoneand Unilever - are heavily exposed to the US.
Greenback weakens
The dollar began its current slide two months ago when investors took the view that the US Government had relaxed its traditional "strong dollar" policy in an effort to stimulate exports.
The decline has accelerated since then amid evidence that foreign investors may be losing their appetite for US financial assets, making it more difficult for the US to finance its trade deficit with the rest of the world.
The US depends on strong sales of shares and government bonds to foreign investors in order to pay for imported goods whose value far outstrips the country's export earnings.
But sales of these assets to investors outside the US have fallen sharply in recent weeks.
The dollar has also lost ground against other world currencies, hitting its lowest value ever against the euro last week.
The dollar's weakness against the single currency has stirred fears that a tentative export-led recovery in Europe after a long period of stagnation could come unstuck.

The Master of Arts Degree Program in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies offers training to graduate students preparing for academic and professional careers with a focus on the region of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. The enhancement of language ability to the level of professional competence and the acquisition of on-site experience and analytical skills appropriate for an area expert are goals of the M.A. program. Students may focus their programs on one or more countries of the region, but are expected to achieve a wide range of area knowledge as well as disciplinary and professional skills.
Applicants to the REES M.A. program must have completed a bachelor's degree. The admissions committee does not focus on one criterion to the exclusion of others, nor do we have minimum requirements for any criterion, though successful applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.25, and a verbal score of at least 160 and quantitative score of at least 150 on the GRE revised General Test. (Applicants to the Business Administration or Law dual degree programs may substitute GMAT or LSAT scores.)
REES M.A. Requirements
REES M.A. Worksheet
REES M.A./M.P.P. Worksheet
The normal program of study for the REES M.A. takes two years and includes the following requirements:
- Minimum Credit Requirement. Students must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours: 15 of these must be in REES-approved courses at the 500-level and above, and 9 more credits must be in REES-approved courses at the 400-level and above.
- Introductory Proseminar. REEES 600, Introduction to Graduate Study in REES. First-year M.A. students must take REEES 600, a course on academic reading and writing in different disciplines. (1 credit)
- Core Colloquium. REEES 601, REES Graduate Core Colloquium. Required every semester for all REES M.A. students, usually for one credit each term. For dual-degree students, only required during first year (both fall and winter).This ongoing course will draw on and discuss area-related issues, including programs (Noon Lectures and Center events); Center "gateway" and other course lectures; visiting speakers; with occasional separate meetings on development and current state of REES. All students are expected to attend CREES Noon Lectures.
- Course Distribution. For examples of REES-approved classes, see CREES courses.
- Geographic Distribution. At least one 3-credit course in two of the CREES regions (Russia, Eastern Europe, Central Eurasia). With permission, students may fulfill this requirement with a graduate independent study/directed reading course to accompany a Center "gateway." (9 credits)
- Disciplinary Distribution. At least one 3-credit course in each core field (arts/culture, history, social science). (9 credits)
Note: courses may count for both geographic and disciplinary distributions. Students may "place out" of either disciplinary or geographic distribution requirements if their previous training includes a substantial concentration in the relevant area or discipline (e.g., a student who focused intensively on Russia, and now at UM wants to focus on Eastern Europe or Central Eurasia; or a history major who now wishes to focus on literature). Students may not "place out" with a single course from a previous undergraduate institution; prior "substantial concentrations" require grades of B or better in at least three clearly relevant university-level courses.
- Language Proficiency. All students in a REES M.A. or dual-degree program must either attain a level of proficiency in one REE-area language one year beyond that required for the REES B.A. (i.e., fourth-year Russian or Polish with a grade of B- or better; third-year for other languages) or achieve the level required for a B.A. plus an additional year in a second REE language. All M.A. students will complete CREES-approved language tests upon matriculation and at graduation.
- Language Training. M.A. students who are not enrolled in a dual-degree program are expected to enroll in a 3- (or more) credit language class (for a grade) every semester. Dual-degree students are strongly encouraged to do so. In case of necessity, students may substitute an intensive summer course for one semester. Students may satisfy this requirement by taking advanced language classes (e.g. 5th-year Russian or Russian 499). For native speakers and those already possessing advanced-to-superior proficiency in one area language, this requirement also enables the acquisition of a second language, usually from the REE area (Russian, East European, or Central Eurasian), to be pursued for the duration of the program. In cases with compelling intellectual or professional rationales, and with permission of the director, this training may involve other languages (e.g., Persian, Turkish, German, Greek). Effective Fall 2013: A maximum of eight credits of upper-level language training can be applied to the 30-credit minimum.
- Research Seminar. Participation in a REES-approved upper-level graduate seminar. (3 credits)
- Master's Project. A thesis or final project/practicum integrating area expertise with disciplinary or professional work must be submitted and approved by two CREES faculty associates. This project should be tailored to a student's own interests and academic or career goals.
M.A. students should meet with the CREES Advisor at least three times throughout the course of their degree: once at orientation, again near the end of their first year to discuss plans for the thesis and for guidance in selecting a thesis advisor, and early in their final semester to conduct a degree audit. Additional appointments can be scheduled as necessary.
Individuals may apply online through the Rackham School of Graduate Studies. Online applications with the statement of purpose will go directly to Rackham and CREES. GRE scores are sent to Rackham, code 1839.
- All applicants are required to mail a complete set of official academic records/transcripts from undergraduate and postgraduate institutions to Rackham:
Rackham Graduate School
Attn: Transcripts/U-M ID# (if known) or Date of Birth (mm/dd/yyyy)
915 E. Washington Street
Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1070
- Official documents must be provided by the institution awarding the degree. Academic records certified by notary publics are not official.
- Submit your application before sending your academic records/transcripts to Rackham. This will to allow your documents to be processed more quickly.
- If you do not obtain a U-M ID number before mailing your academic records/transcripts to Rackham it is important that you inform us of any name changes. This includes Former Last Name and Former First Name that appear on your academic records/transcripts. This information will enable Rackham to match your records to your application quickly.

Application Requirements
Prospective students must submit an online application, which will go directly to Rackham and CREES. Official transcripts must be mailed to Rackham and CREES. GRE scores are sent to Rackham, code 1839.
Your completed online application and supporting documents (including academic records/transcripts, test scores, and letters of recommendation, etc.) should be submitted early enough to arrive two to three weeks prior to the deadline.
Financial Aid
Applicants to the REES M.A. program who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents are encouraged to apply for Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) Fellowships. For information about additional funding opportunities, see Student Funding.

Ask Mac Questions and Get Answers from Experts ASAP
Hello Eric, my name is Dan.
Can you tell me what type of map you are using? The MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac?
You've changed out the mouse and keyboard from what to what?
mac mini
another mac keeeyboard and a none apple wireless moouse
Okay, the first thing to do to solve this problem is to reset the PRAM. Restart then press and hold these 4 keys down, 'Option', 'Command(Apple)', 'R' and 'P' keys, keep them down until you hear 4 startup chimes then let go.
This resets all of the system busses, USB, Optical drive, Firewire, display etc. please make sure that you hear 4 start up chimes.
If that doesn't do the job then we will do something else.
Ahh I reemeberr doing this before. I have to go to wwwwwork now. please contact me by email.
I will try this when I get back home!
Hi Daniel,
I tried resetting the pram wwwwwhen I got hoome from wwork tto no avail. What is the next step?
As you can see we had an issue with Chat yesterday.
The next thing we're going to do is called a SafeBoot.
For a Safe Boot restart, and before the first chime press and hold the 'Shift' key, until you see the Apple logo and the spinning gear appear, then let go.
When you reach the login screen, it will say in red on the login window SafeBoot, login and give it a few more minutes to finish loading.
This will take much longer than usual to boot or load up. So please be patient, I have seen it takes up to 20 minutes for this to work.
Once it has finished try opening files like you want to. And let me know the results.
I checked the disk and found some problems so I started it up with the Mac X disc and repaired it but still no go. I'll now try the soft boot

A LEADING Labour borough councillor endured an unwelcome spot of election day drama after she was bitten by a dog.
Group leader Councillor Laura James spent four hours at Basingstoke hospital after a dog bit her left hand as she pushed an election leaflet through a post box in Novello Close, Brighton Hill.
The incident occurred at 11.30am on election day as the Labour group were drumming up support for their county council election candidate David Eyre, who was standing in the Basingstoke South East division. The dog, believed to be a Jack Russell, sank its teeth into her middle, ring, and index fingers.
Cllr James, who needed a tetanus jab, and was given antibiotics by doctors, said: "I was quite scared. It felt like a Rottweiler – I thought it was Jaws.
"It has never happened to me in my political career, although it has happened to my mother once before [former Popley East borough councillor Mary Brian]."
In the 2012 borough council elections, former Buckskin ward member Stephen Reid was bitten by a dog delivering leaflets.
When told of Cllr James' ordeal, the Conservative, who retained his Basing-stoke county seat, said: "Been there, done that, got the bandage. She has my sympathy."

The Pittsburgh Penguins very quietly placed Dustin Jeffrey on waivers yesterday and almost as quietly the Dallas Stars picked him up. It's like no one wants to take create for having him on their roster. But Jeffrey's exit from the Pens organization is something Ray Shero should have pulled the trigger on a long time ago. Jeffrey squandered every opportunity the Penguins gave him to showcase that offensive firepower he displayed in the minors. They place him on lines with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin and still Jeffrey could not find the stats-sheet. In 100 NHL games, Dustin Jeffrey has only 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists). After ten games of sporting a single assist and a minus-2 rating, the Penguins finally had enough. The patience they showed with him ran drier than the ink on the Declaration of Independence. Just like with Eric Tangradi, the promise of productive did not merit the roster spot.
Good bye, Dustin Jeffrey. It's been swell. We'll miss seeing your name in the healthy scratches.
Now what do the Penguins do with the bottom six forwards? Deryk Engelland might see a return to the fourth line as Robert Bortuzzo is too darn good to sit. Plus, Engelland brings a edge to the forward units with his physicalness and net crashing (something desperately needed right now). Deryk may not want to admit it, but he better serves the team up front than at the blueline. Dumping Jeffrey's salary means the Pens can keep both Matt D'Agostini (one assist in six games) and Chuck Kobasew (two goals in twelve games). When Kobasew's ready to come back, he'll stabilize the third or fourth line. His numbers are small, but he plays a role for the Pens as a grinder with hockey smarts. D'Agostini's stats are little more disappointing and if someone from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton comes up and turns it on, he can easily replace Jeffrey on the inactive list.
Speaking of those AHL guys, the Penguins did call up Brian Gibbons. He's another in a strong looking group of young American forwards the Pens are developing (i.e. Jayson Megna and Beau Bennett). Tonight against the Anaheim Ducks might be Gibbons's NHL debut. The 25-year old native of Massachusetts has twenty-two points in fifteen games with the Baby Penguins and leads the squad with fifteen assists. His plus-thirteen rating is tied with Simon Despres (remember him?) for the team lead in that category. In 155 AHL games he has respectable career totals of 26 goals and 56 assists. Hopefully, Gibbons will spark something for the current offensively lacking Penguins.
So welcome to the NHL Brian Gibbons and, Mr. Jeffrey, he hope you enjoy Dallas. Say hello to other Penguins-bust Alex Goligoski for us will you?

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hello and thanks for your question. Are you available to chat?
This sounds very characteristic for allergic dermatitis. The swelling of the eyelids, alone, can be causing the vision to be slightly blurry as can some allergy inflammation in the eye itself.
In order to treat this, there a few things you can do.
I would also suggest getting some 1% hydrocortisone ointment (also OTC) and rubbing that on the affected skin areas (not in the eyes) twice daily. Also, cold compresses done several times/day can and will help the itching sensation and suppress the inflammation. If these measures aren't enough, then I would recommend using an allergy eye drop; a couple of over-the-counter brand names include Alaway or Zaditor and they both work fairly well. If you try these and it helps but is not quite enough, then you may do better with a prescription allergy drop called Pataday which works very well. Lastly, if all of these measures are still not enough, then I would recommend trying to control the body's overall response to allergens and this would include taking an oral antihistamine such as claritin or zyrtec which you can buy over-the-counter. Does this make sense?
Do you have any other questions about this?
Good luck with treating this. I hope you do better.
Please help me get credit for my efforts in answering your questions and press the ACCEPT button for this encounter; this allows part of the funds that you have deposited to the website to be released for my efforts to assist you. This does not end our conversation, however-we can continue to discuss any of your concerns without further charges until you are satisfied.
Any positive feedback and/or bonus you may feel prompted to provide would be welcomed and is appreciated. There will be an opportunity to provide either or both of these after you press the ACCEPT button. Thanks for your inquiry!
My opinion is solely informative and does not constitute a formal medical opinion or recommendation. For a formal medical opinion and/or recommendation you must see an eye doctor.
thank you
My pleasure.

text: I saw a note in our Sunday paper that the "Sporting News" will cease the ink-on-paper version of the magazine/newspaper next month– electing to do just a digital version. They'll still do 6 "annuals" for various topics. Kinda sad. Another part of my youth disappearing. I subscribed to "TSN" for several years. For baseball news you couldn't top it.

Elizabeth Banks might be an actress but she looks more like a model in a photo shoot and cover for Marie Claire's May 2013 issue.
The actress admitted to the magazine that it can be tough being a working actress and a mom. She explained, "First of all, I have a home office," the 39-year-old actress explained. "I have two kids, and it means I get to put them down for their naps and be the person they wake up to."
She continued, "When I'm actressing, which is my day job, and which I'm doing right now, I leave the house at 4:30 in the morning five days a week and I get home at 6, and hope to get two hours with them [her children] before they go to bed. So I'm slightly miserable about that."
Banks also discussed how she chooses her roles. "I try not to repeat myself too often. Because it's a gamble. 'Fred Claus' had three Oscar winners in it. No business – it was a bad movie. So people ask, 'How do you plan it?' Nobody is planning anything. People make decisions on where they are right then. Sometimes you make a decision because the character just speaks to you in a way."

Kabuki Quantum Fighter
Review by Lethargy
"Incredibly stupid & Unbeatably hard -- a winning combination"
As I remember it, Kabuki Quantum Fighter
was good for only one thing: the two bucks
I sold it for. KQF is really one of those
games whose names generally describe all of the
in-game action. Yes, you are a kabuki (one of
those Japanese, painted face, theatre guys), yes
you do fight, and yes some stuff could be described
as kind of quantum (I think, I really am unsure of
the description of quantum).
Allow me to break it down into its +s and -s
+ You are a kabuki, which is pretty cool
+ You whip enemies with your flaming red hair as your standard attack
- Horrible graphics
- Repetitive enemies
- Incredible difficulty. This is one of those old impossible NES games. In the third stage, I don't care how good you are, you will die as a result of improper jumping/being burnt to death by some flaming thing.
-/+ Ridiculous Plot. You work for a government agency of some kind. Some criminal has turned himself into a computer program and is in a computer somewhere. You are downloaded into the computer in the form of a kabuki and you have to kill various 'viruses' before killing the real bad guy. Neither plus or a minus, really, it's just stupid.
Don't buy this game. Don't download the rom. Tell your friends you played it when discussing awful games. When it comes to games like this, it doesn't hurt to lie.

Watch Children Battle With Giant Dildos In A Hilarious PSA For Gun Control
I never thought I'd see a funny public service announcement for gun control, but today was the day, my friends. "Playthings" warns adults of the dangers that come with leaving certain things out in the open—and in this case, it's dildos. As two embarrassed moms look on while their sons sword fight with their sex toys, they suddenly learn the value of locks. And the same goes for guns, you guys! Get it? Anyway, watch the video for yourselves and learn a little something while you laugh.

For Glaze:
Sift the flour and add the yeast, the sugar and the salt.
Then add the oil, the water and the milk to it.
Knead it to a smooth and soft dough and leave it covered in a warm place for two hours ( or until dubble the volume).
When the dough has risen, knead it a little more, form a ball and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
Each part knead a little bit and shape it into a ball.
Flatten each ball to 5mm thickness. Make sure you follow the order of making balls.
Make a mixture of two tablespoons melted margarine and one egg yolk.
Take four flattened dough pieces and divide the mixture on top of them. Spread it, but not all the way to the border, just over middle part.
Take the rest of the dough flattened pieces and use it to cover the previously covered with the mixture flattened pieces.
Flatten again, divide into eight triangles and place one teaspoon of nutella on top of each one.
Lay baking paper on a baking dish.
Mix one egg yolk and half a tablespoon of oil and paint the Kiflice with it, then sprinkle them with brown sugar.
Place a tiny piece of margarine between the Kiflice on the baking dish.

Groundbreaking research has found alarming numbers of Victorian children are starting school with speech and language problems.
It's hoped world-first brain scanning technology will help unlock the secrets to why some kids are falling behind.
A landmark study tracking two thousand children by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) has discovered a "hidden epidemic": One in five starting prep has poor language skills.
"It is worrying. Worrying to many parents and worrying to teachers" said Professor Sheena Reilly of the MCRI.
And yet Victorian schools have one speech pathologist for every 3700 children. That's one for every 700 kids who desperately need it.
Researchers are examining genetic factors and sophisticated imaging technology to track differences in brain patterns that could explain why some kids struggle.
They even want to eventually test babies in the womb, according to Dr Angela Morgan from the MCRI.
"We want to find early brain markers of those children most at risk of going on to have a language impairment," she said.
"One of the reasons this is so important is that latest research shows that one in two children in the juvenile justice system has a speech or communication disorder."
Speech Pathology Australia is calling for one therapist for every school.
Speech Pathologist Robyn Stephen believes responsibility shouldn't be squarely placed on the shoulders of teachers, who "deserve the support of speech pathologists".

COBPATH and COBDIR environment variables
Flash (Alert)
COBPATH and COBDIR environment variable settings
CICS® enables your COBOL programs to use the CALL statement to call other programs. With the CALL statement you can invoke a separate COBOL program.
On CICS for Windows®:
Dynamically called COBOL subprograms should be built as dlls and have the file suffix ".dll". A dynamically called COBOL program must reside in a directory that is included in the following environment variables:
For IBM® COBOL programs:
For Micro Focus Server Express COBOL and Net Express programs:
Ensure that the environment variable is in the System environment for use in CICS.
COBPATH and COBDIR are defined by the compilers at installation time.
For Micro Focus Net Express COBOL programs, all COBOL calls check for the program in the PD database the first time the program is called. If no PD entry exists, the run time looks for the program in the COBDIR directory. After the first call to this program, disabling the program has no effect.
On CICS on Open Systems:
A COBOL program must reside on one of the following directories:
The CICS bin directory: $CICS/bin
Note: $CICS indicates the full path name of the location in which the CICS product is installed; for example, /usr/lpp/cics on AIX. If the CICS environment variable is set to the product path name, you can use the examples exactly as shown in the topic; otherwise, you must replace all instances of $CICS with the CICS product path name.
If it is specified as a file name or a base name in a CALL statement, it can reside in a directory that is included in the following environment variables:
For IBM® COBOL programs(Only on AIX) :
For Micro Focus Server Express COBOL:
If it is specified as a file name or a base name in a CALL statement, it can also reside in:

     Hello, Jean-François,

 I don't have an apartment to offer you, but I wanted to welcome you to San Francisco and to Noisebridge.

 Looks like you've been way busy doing cool projects! I'd love to see what you're up to in person after you get to town for your internshpip. I think a lot of people here will be interested in learning from your experience, if you have any time to share.

 Did you know that San Francisco is only 7 miles across? That's 11km. So, if you live just about anywhere in town, that'll be within your 10km bike ride. Biking here is really nice, too (though, in winter you'll want fenders, since it rains every day till March). And some places you could live would require some really nice hills to climb.

 If it's an option for you: Noisebridge is in The Mission, which is a really nice, lively, diverse neighborhood, and close to Pennsylvania Ave (and you can avoid Potrero Hill if you add a couple km to your bike ride).

 Best,
 Mitch.

Subject: [Noisebridge-discuss] [Unusual request] Quebecer looking for an room in SF

Hello fellow hackers!

I'm a 22 years old engineering student from Quebec, Canada.  I will be doing an internship in San Francisco from January 4 to the end of April. As I will be new in town, I am looking for a place with nice roommates. As I am involved in robotics, electronics and DIY, I tough that contacting the local hackerspace could be a great way of finding an apartment.

I am looking for a place not too far from Pennsylvania Ave (a less than 10km bike ride is ok!).

If you need someone for that period, please let me know! Feel free to ask any questions about me.

Important: someone from my job will pay the deposit (so don't worry about renting the room to an outsider!)

Bonus: I can teach you French! ;)

Have a good day,

--

I kid you not. While we've been busting a gut pushing old-fashioned wheelbarrows, the folks in Europe have been strolling across the jobsite behind these. What gives? Where were these things when I was a carpenter?
Here's one they sell in the U.K.
Here's a different one in use in Italy – check out how easily it goes up stairs and ramps.
And finally, a new model that has just been developed in Slovenia. Be sure to check out the comparison between going up the hill with a standard wheelbarrow and going up with the battery-powered unit.
Archived Comments
Why the hell isn't this sold in the US? Excellent product!
Well, since the U.S. is well on its way to becoming a third world country, we should see these things coming here pretty soon.
it is because we use things much bigger. I am a 1-man show and have a small stand on skid steer to do the heavy lifting. Now I could have used it many times. I have seen many muck trucks here in the US. Dave next time you stop at Milwaukee tools just drive up the road to Neus Hardware.
Check with DR out of Vermont , they have one.
I have the DR Power Wagon. It is awesome. Hauls 700 pounds up steep slopes, takes a beating and keeps working. Engine mounts are the week point. Bought it used for $250. List price is steeper than the slopes it climbs.
The DR Power Wagon looks great but it's not as small and maneuverable as a three-wheel conventional wheelbarrow or the euro power wheelbarrows shown. (I noticed that the rechargeable battery shown in the video of the British wheelbarrow appears to be the same as the battery used by DR in its "Neuton" cordless electric lawn mowers.)

Clitheroe bowler Eric Wallace lifted the pairs trophy for the second consecutive year in the vets section at the Newton Hall Indoor Bowling club Blackpool.
Partnered by retired police officer David Almond from Fleetwood the pair secured the title after beating Derek Mills from Blackpool and Preston's John Mease – but only after the tightest of finishes as they came from behind on the final end.
Going into the final end, after two hours of a very close encounter, Eric and David found themselves two shots down at 11-13 but managed to score two shots and level the score at 13-13 which took the game into an extra end decider.
With only one ball of the extra end remaining their opponents held two scoring shots but with an accurate strike Eric killed the end which meant that the deciding end had to be replayed.
With nerves jangling, and spectators on the edge of their seats, Eric and David held themselves together and, counting a two, retained the title for the second year.

This is a preview of a article written and published for ASAE, in collaboration with Jackie Eder-Van Hook and Mary Logan. You can read the full post here (paywall).
The biggest mistake most people make in negotiating executive search firm contracts is focusing solely on the outcome instead of the hiring process. In hiring, your goal is not to merely hire someone qualified; your goal is to hire a top performer, so your contracts need to reflect that.
In small organizations, it's fairly common to have 2 or even 3 open positions in the same department at the same time. This occurs for a variety of reasons: sometimes a bad manager causes team members to leave, or one disgruntled employee makes everyone's life miserable, or a failed business approach causes everyone on the team to feel like a failure, or sometimes it's just the bad timing of unrelated factors.
Great hiring practices bring hidden issues to light, and provide insight into questions you had not even thought to ask. But most typical hiring practices do the opposite, ignoring more information than they gather, and leaving your hiring decision up to chance. The "insight gap" is what makes an executive search firm worth their fee. It's what justifies the cost of any professional services firm.
The Fed's most recent economic report shows the U.S. economy continuing to expand, and that extends to the Washington DC economy. Only about 11% of the Washington region is employed by the Federal government. The popular perception is that the Washington DC job market is a government town. But just this year, professional and business services employers replaced government as the largest employing industry in the region.
Replacing an underperforming executive is one of the most challenging situations that an association leader must confront.
If you work in an association, it's risky to think of recruiting as an HR function. It's not.
By telling HR to "Post a job ad, get some resumes, and then I'll starting interviewing," you are making a career-limiting mistake, one that puts your personal reputation at risk.
Whether you are the hiring manager or the candidate being interviewed, hiring is personal, now more than ever. Candidate behavior has changed more in the past 5 years than at any time in the past 30 years, but few employers have updated their hiring practices. This creates some real challenges on both sides of the interview desk, and more than a few opportunities to gain a real competitive advantage.

State Superintendent Seeks Court Intervention For Approval of Bridge Academy Charter School
(Santa Fe, NM)- District Court Judge Art Encinias has ordered the Las Vegas City Board of Education to approve the charter application for Bridge Academy Charter School "forthwith and without delay" or appear in his court on Friday, May 24, at 4:00 p.m., on the second floor of the Judge Steve Herrera Judicial Complex, located at Grant and Catron Streets in Santa Fe, to explain its actions in not approving the charter. The judge's order, issued yesterday, was in response to a petition filed on Monday, by State Superintendent of Public Instruction Michael J. Davis, acting on behalf of the New Mexico State Board of Education (SBE), requesting the court to order the local board to approve the charter.
The SBE voted on March 1 to remand the charter school to the local board for approval. The state Charter Schools Act requires local school boards to approve charters when directed to do so by the SBE. The local board voted on March 19 not to accept the remand.
"The Las Vegas City Schools Board of Education has defied a proper order of the State Board of Education. At the State Board's direction, I have sought legal relief to get the order expeditiously enforced," said State Superintendent Davis.
Dr. Carol Winkel, the principal organizer of the charter school, applied to the local board on September 28, 2001, for a charter to operate the Bridge Academy Charter School. On November 20, the board voted unanimously to deny the charter. Dr. Winkel then appealed to the SBE on December 4 regarding the denial of the charter application.
At its regular meeting on January 14, 2002, the SBE heard presentations regarding the charter application from New Mexico State Department of Education staff, Dr. Winkel and local board representatives and decided to seek additional input from the West Las Vegas Public Schools board before making a final decision. The SBE heard the views of the West Las Vegas Public Schools on March 1, before acting by majority vote to reverse the local board's decision.
"The local school board has not articulated any legal reason for refusing to approve the charter as required by the Charter Schools Act and it has actively refused, without just cause or excuse, to perform its duty by granting the charter," said State Superintendent Davis. "Charter schools offer choices and alternatives for parents and students and represent new ways to improve outcomes for public school children. The charter of the Bridge Academy Charter School is legitimate, the State Board approved it in March and it is our intention that the charter school will be approved to serve children in the fall of 2002," he said.

Kate Middleton Makes Her First Official Appearance Since Giving Birth To Prince George
Look out, London! It's official: Kate Middleton is back in the red carpet game, making her first formal appearance since Prince George's birth in late July. The Duchess accompanied Prince William to the Tusk Conservation Awards at the Royal Society in London this evening wearing a, um, scintillating floor-length gown by royal favorite Jenny Packham. The girl loves herself some sparkles, and who could blame her? She looks beautiful, and she also looks really, really happy. It almost brings a tear to this jaded American eye. Could it have a tiny bit to do with the fact that Wills has departed his Royal Air Force duty after eight years in favor of remaining in London with his new family? Perhaps! In any case… yay Kate!

Always quick with some great advice, Adrienne Bailon is featured on the front of the August 2015 issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas.
It's never a good idea to mess with the Kardashian Family, and Adrienne Bailon is finding out first-hand what a sister's scorn feels like.
The "Cheetah Girls" starlet took shots at the E! reality television clan, slamming Rob Kardashian and blaming her career woes on her association with his high-profile kin.
She was a mainstay on the early days of "Keeping up with the Kardashians," but Adrienne Bailon reveals that the reality family actually hurt her career.
She's always held family in close regard, so when Kim Kardashian read Adrienne Bailon's scathing words about her kin in the new issue of Latina magazine, she was furious.
It's a day of celebration and remembrance in the USA and today (May 26) even celebrities are giving it up for our troops for the Memorial Day holiday.
The Twitterverse is chock full of encouraging messages from various famous folks, giving thanks for freedom as well as the men and women who have fought to keep us safe.
Showing attendees of New York Fashion Week 2014 just how fashionable she is, Adrienne Bailon took the Big Apple by storm in order to get to the En 1 Noir Show on Tuesday (February 11).
Sporting a long black leather coat, the former Cheetah Girl flashed her pearly whites at friends and cameras, wearing a cute white blouse and gray skinnies.
Making the most of their Tuesday evening, Kate Bosworth and Michael Polish showed up at the Guess New York Fashion Week Celebration last night (February 11).
The "Blue Crush" babe was all decked out in denim as she hammed it up with her black leather-clad husband as part of the Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week festivities.
Showcasing outstanding artists and individuals in the Latino community, the 2013 ALMA Awards took place at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on Friday (September 27).
Co-hosted by Eva Longoria and Mario Lopez, the event sponsored by the National Council of La Raza hopes to show how diversity strengthens our country and how inclusion strengthens the American entertainment industry.

Get glowing skin with good skincare

Kozlowski's fall from grace
By Kevin McCoy, USA TODAY
NEW YORK New Hampshire's St. Anselm College Class
of 2002 listened respectfully last month as then-Tyco CEO Dennis Kozlowski warned
about life's challenges outside academia.
"You will be confronted with questions every day that test
your morals," he told the 441 graduating seniors of the Manchester, N.H., school.
"Think carefully, and for your sake, do the right thing, not the easy thing."
Less than three weeks later, the business world is wondering
whether Kozlowski ignored his own advice.
The police officer's son built Tyco into a $38 billion
conglomerate and became a nationally celebrated dealmaker along the way. Now
he stands accused of evading more than $1 million in sales taxes on purchases
of artworks by Monet, Renoir and other masters. The charges, filed Tuesday in
New York, forced Kozlowski's resignation.
The indictment has business analysts, executives and others
asking why despite megamillions in salary and stock options that bought
him luxury homes and perks and made him one of the nation's most lavishly compensated
executives Kozlowski might have risked all on a small-time scheme of
The case has also sent shivers through the rarefied world
of fine art collectors. In a widening investigation, Manhattan District Attorney
Robert Morgenthau is examining the records of art dealers for evidence of others
who may have used widely whispered but seldom-detected tax evasion ploys.
At the same time, Morgenthau and Tyco are exploring whether
Kozlowski used company funds for personal expenses, including an $18 million
co-op apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue. The Securities and Exchange Commission
has also opened a preliminary review of evidence that Kozlowski used a company
loan to buy the art, according to an investigator who spoke on condition of
Tyco shares fell $2.70 to $14.60 Thursday, wiping out $5.4
billion in market value. Since the stock peaked on Jan. 29, 2001, $81.6 billion
of Tyco's market value has vanished.
"I certainly hope he's exonerated and U.S. business isn't
tarnished once again," says Judith Fischer, managing director of Executive Compensation
Advisory Services, a Virginia-based research firm.
But, Fischer adds, "It doesn't look good."
Kozlowski, who pleaded not guilty in New York State Supreme
Court, declined to comment. His attorney, Stephen Kaufman, called the charges
"unsubstantiated and not proven."
Building a megacompany
It has been a fall from grace for an executive who gained
Wall Street praise by gobbling up at least 700 companies over the past three
years and folding them into a fast-growing Tyco conglomerate.
Leo Dennis Kozlowski, 55, has long been a man of constant
motion. Raised in Newark, N.J., he helped pay his way through Seton Hall University
in nearby South Orange by playing guitar for a band that performed at everything
from Polish weddings to clubs. After majoring in accounting, he graduated in
1968 with thoughts of pursuing a career as an airline pilot.
He landed in the business world instead, starting as an
auditor in the mergers and acquisitions department of SCM Corp, then a growing
conglomerate. In 1975, a headhunter recruited him to Tyco, a New Hampshire-based
company that at the time had less than $20 million in sales. Kozlowski rose
through the ranks and became CEO in 1992.
He quickly embarked on a building spree, acquiring hundreds
of firms in recession-resistant sectors, ranging from medical supplies to fire
alarms and even plastic trash bags. The acquisitions gained him the nickname
"Deal-a-Month Dennis."
Kozlowski cut jobs and costs as each company came under
the Tyco flag. While keeping the New Hampshire operating base, he shifted the
company's official headquarters to Bermuda in a tax-saving move. He formed a
nucleus of top managers to run various divisions of the firm. His instructions
to them were simple: Deliver 15% growth annually, or else.
The fearful leader
Robert Kennedy, a Harvard University School of Business
professor who studied Tyco as a successful business model, recalls the account
of a Kozlowski lieutenant who feared he would not meet the goal. He phoned the
boss to arrange a one-on-one meeting, at which he planned to say he could guarantee
only 5%. Kozlowski offered little sympathy, the executive told Kennedy.
"You don't want to come down here and meet with me and
tell me that," he quoted the CEO as saying. "It would be an ugly meeting."
For several years, the acquisition strategy paid off for
Tyco and its investors. Revenue increased twelvefold. The company stock price
at one point was up roughly 1,200% for Kozlowski's tenure. Yet he had even grander
"Hopefully, we can become the next General Electric," he
told Business Week last year. Kozlowski also told the magazine he wanted
to be remembered as "some combination of what Jack Welch put together at GE
... and Warren Buffett's very practical ideas on how you can go about creating
return for shareholders."
But even before he pondered the future and his legacy,
troubling questions had started surfacing.
In 1999, short-seller and accounting analyst David Tice
of the Prudent Bear fund questioned whether Tyco's fat bottom line was the partial
product of accounting magic. The Securities and Exchange Commission investigated
but took no action before ending the review in 2000.
At the same time, some critics and analysts questioned
the controversial move to Bermuda. They also focused on another tempting target:
Kozlowski's compensation package. Tyco paid him $19 million in cash and about
$80 million in stock over the last three years, the company's SEC filings show.
Kozlowski sold more than $300 million in shares back to
the firm since 1999. Choosing to take a fee that many other CEOs forgo, he collected
$75,000 for his service on Tyco's board of directors. He also negotiated a retention
deal that could have guaranteed $100 million, including a lifetime consulting
agreement after his retirement.
The CEO's sudden resignation on Monday voided that deal,
setting the stage for potentially difficult negotiations on a new severance
Homes, bikes and a yacht
Kozlowski lived large on his corporate income. He acquired
luxury homes in New Hampshire, Nantucket and Florida, along with his 13-room
Manhattan duplex with its four fireplaces and picture-window views of Central
Park. He also bought a minority stake in the group that owns basketball's New
Jersey Nets and hockey's New Jersey Devils.
A veteran pilot, he often flew helicopters and the Tyco
company plane. During stays at his home in Boca Raton, Fla., he tooled around
on Harley-Davidsons. When not on land or in the air, he could often be found
offshore at the helm of Endeavour, a 130-foot, J-Class racing yacht that he
skippered at last August's America's Cup Jubilee regatta off the coast of England.
Kozlowski's marriage to Angeles, the mother of his two
daughters, broke up amid the constant motion and dealmaking. He then married
Karen Mayo, 40, and put up a stake to help her and two partners open Zemi, a
trendy restaurant in Boca Raton.
"My sense is he's very much of a work-hard, play-hard guy,"
Kennedy says of Kozlowski. "When he took up sailing, he didn't just buy a small
boat he bought a historic yacht."
Others, even some early boosters, became less admiring
as Kozlowski's pay and perks ballooned as company stock started to fall. Tyco
shares took a beating in January when Kozlowski announced, then canceled, plans
to break the company into smaller units. The Enron meltdown also battered Tyco,
as some analysts and investors wondered if Kozlowski had approved some of the
same accounting tactics as those allegedly used by the Texas energy-trading
By then, Kozlowski had been a target of Manhattan prosecutors
for months. According to the indictment, he and unnamed conspirators evaded
New York's 8.25% sales tax on Fleurs et Fruits by Renoir, Pres Monte
Carlo by Monet and works by other artists.
District Attorney Morgenthau said the alleged scheme was
simple. Working with unnamed art dealers and Tyco employees, Kozlowski used
false invoices to make it appear the art was shipped not to his Manhattan duplex
but out of state, thereby exempting the purchases from New York sales taxes.
An art consultant employee in December instructed a trucker
to "de-install" one painting from Kozlowski's Manhattan apartment and drive
it to Tyco's New Hampshire office base, the indictment charges. After a company
employee signed for the shipment, the painting was immediately trucked back
to Manhattan and rehung in the Fifth Avenue apartment, prosecutors say. At a
news conference this week, Morgenthau produced a memo in which one consultant
wrote to an art dealer: "Here are the five paintings to go to New Hampshire
(wink, wink)."
Morgenthau said he did not know the motive for Kozlowski's
alleged actions. But one investigator said Manhattan prosecutors are examining
records of art dealers to determine whether other collectors similarly evaded
millions in sales tax. The evidence gathered will keep prosecutors "busy for
months," said one investigator, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Separately, Tyco officials are examining records to determine
whether Kozlowski improperly used company funds for the art or other personal
expenses. The indictment and widening investigation shocked officials at St.
Anselm, who chose Kozlowski as this year's commencement speaker based on his
record of success as an outstanding New Hampshire businessman.
"He was chosen long before all this happened," said college
spokeswoman Tracy Manforte Sweet. "It's very difficult to hear the news."

Comments about Jonathan Maldonado
Love At First Sight:
Happiness sweeps like an unsuspected burst of wind.
Love creeps like the undetected eye in the crowd,
So eager to be seen.
A shy flexing of the lips Whenever our glances intersect.
An unsure walk across the room.
The sounds of my forced stride like the sweeping of a broom.
The hair on my neck stands as I dry the sweat from my hands.
A look up to the eye, belonging to the girl in the crowd,
With a shakey 'hi' followed by a cough to clear my voice.
This moment is bliss... The parts of a fairytale that most of us miss.
The moment our eyes meet and our souls...

BenQ W7000 Home Theater Projector Review
The Very Bottom Line on the BenQ W7000 projector:
Having been playing with the finished W7000 firmware (2/18/2012) for a dozen+ hours, I'm prepared to finally position the BenQ in terms of quality, and value.
The W7000 is a light canon, when it comes to 2D viewing. If you run its "best" mode, with Brilliant Color On, this projector is about twice as bright as most of the competition, and even with BC turned off, none of the projectors near its price can beat it for sheer brightness when calibrated. This makes the W7000 a first class choice for all of you who are into large screens. Even a 140″ screen, with say, a typical 1.3 gain, isn't a challenge for the W7000 after calibration. By comparison, the Epsons and Panasonic can't get close. Even the LCoS and other DLP competitors, come up very short in terms of brightness when calibrated.
But, you aren't just considering the BenQ W7000 projector as a 2D movie projector only. For the rest of 2D viewing, it's hard to beat, not only the brightness, but also the sharpness. Note, please, BenQ's Clarity control (default is 7) is way over the top. If you want some dynamic sharpening, you really need to drop that setting to 2, or maybe 3. At 7, everything is oversharp, and color edges are standing out and shifting white. No worries, just turn it down. The BenQ 2 setting, is still a bit more than Super-Resolution set for 3 on the Epson. Purists, will not use either projectors' dynamic sharpening.
3D could still be a bit brighter, for my tastes, this projector is not going to fill that 140″ screen adequately in 3D, even if it can do so without effort in 2D. On the other hand, like the Epson, Panasonic, Acer, the BenQ has enough lumens to do a 100″ diagonal screen in 3D without making you think "dim" on a lot of content.
Value and Quality: First, if DLP is your thing and $2500 your general price range, the BenQ would seem to be your best choice. Note – first timers – that many folks that have owned DLP models, then switched to LCoS or 3LCD, "miss" the DLP "look and feel." I tend to be one of those people. Still, that DLP feel is only one aspect of the image quality. For those of you who tend to be rainbow sensitive, the W7000 is about as clean as they come. I have to work to spot a rainbow with this projector, and I'm definitely "rainbow sensitive".
If DLP isn't your specific thing, this W7000 is still going to be one of the best choices out there. Assuming its merely "good" placement flexibility doesn't pose any problems in your room, the W7000 has to be thought of as right up there with the Epson, the Panasonic, and the much more expensive JVC RS45 overall, and not one of them can challenge the W7000's brightness.
I'm glad BenQ finally got the firmware finished. That they started selling W7000's with firmware that still needed some improvement, does raise a question or two, but that sort of thing happens all the time, especially with companies expected to have a new projector lineup to offer, every 12 months. The important thing, though, is that BenQ has promised to get everyone upgraded to the new firmware. BenQ's rep for following up, is one of the best, as I've described in other reviews.
Meantime, if you're shopping now, the finished "firmware" is what's out in dealer hands. I learned, for example, that one of the dealers who is a heavy advertiser on our site, has already had BenQ send out replacements for the earlier projectors in their inventory. They now have W7000s with the same firmware as I'm working with now, as of mid-February.
Ultimately, I'm loving the pop, and wow factor of the BenQ W7000. That DLP look on those darker scenes where DLP projectors already tend to excel, really works for me. Even the projector or two out there, that can just slightly best the W7000 in dark shadow detail, really do not, on those all dark scenes, manage to have more pop, than the BenQ. That pop, folks, is s a key reason to want great blacks – dark scenes "pop", while projectors with so-so blacks tend to look flat and dull.
Not this BenQ. Put it on your short list, start it near the top. And if you are a really big screen person, start it at the top of your list of projectors in this price range. Then, goo ood luck in finding something to knock it off.
A Hot Product Award goes to the W7000 for simply being an excellent overall projector in 2D and 3D, but one that has all the competition beat for viewing movies with calibrated color on a really large screen.
I plan to be switching back and forth between the W7000 and the Epson Home Cinema 5010,until the next projector arrives for review. (That should help me sort things out when it comes to issuing the Best In Class awards. All considered, I'm impressed with the W7000. This finished W7000 is truly a major improvement over the engineering sample, and a top projector overall.

A Gallipoli veteran who became a decorated 'ace' of the Australian Flying Corps; a controversial chief of the RAAF who was only the second Australian to fill this post; the last chief of any Allied military service in the Second World War to pass from the scene. These are elements of the life of Air Marshal Sir George Jones.
Although Jones left a personal memoir, it provided little insight into the private man. In this new book, Peter Helson seeks to highlight elements of Jones' background, personality and character, against which to assess his record as a commander.
Jones' tenure of the RAAF's top job was unique in the annals of the Air Force. Plucked from obscurity in mid-1942, he was an Air Vice-Marshal when the heads of the other Services were all two grades higher. He oversaw a doubling in the size of the RAAF, although he was not promoted to Air Marshal until 1948.
Helson's account of Jones' performance also examines his wartime feud with his senior operational commander, Air Vice-Marshal Bostock. The issue of divided command epitomised by this rift is just as relevant today as it was during the Second World War.

The media and events company offered 10,000 viewers the ability to stream the first four episodes of Love Child on Sunday, which launches on free-to-air television next week.
The limit on streaming was lifted to 20,000 viewers, which was exhausted on Monday afternoon.
"This is just the beginning of where the industry is headed in terms of Australians consuming content on any device," said Mark Britt, chief executive of Nine's digital arm Mi9. "We will be accelerating our plans in this space."
Last year, Nine bought out its former joint-venture partner in Mi9, Microsoft, giving the network full control over its digital assets, such as ninemsn.com.au, and both short and long-form video.
"What we have done with Love Child is one example of what we are going to be doing to bring together the digital assets of Mi9 and the television platform of Nine," Mr Britt said.
He said the screening of Love Child had sparked interest on social media services such as Facebook and Twitter.
Nine will also launch a subscription-based video-on-demand service this year in what is expected to be a key theme in 2014 for the free-to-air and pay-television industries.
Online video services such as Netflix and Hulu have become increasingly popular in the United States, capitalising on booming online viewership.
Informa forecasts global revenues from such "over-the-top" video services will grow from $US10.6 billion ($12 billion) in 2012 to $U37.2 billion in 2017, with providers generating revenue from advertising, subscriptions and transactions.

Mitchell-Linden Community Library and its environs have an interesting history. On estates owned by Ernest Mitchell (called Breezy Hill) and his father (called Linden Hill), builders envisioned a cooperative project which would provide middle-income housing to veterans of World War II and Korea. Under Section 213 of the Federal Housing Act of 1950 and at a cost of $15 million the project was enacted, providing homes for about 1400 residents.
During that time, the Queens Borough Public Library served the reading community with a bookmobile. As a result of extensive lobbying by community civic leaders, the Mitchell-Linden branch officially opened its doors on May 16, 1962. Situated in a storefront on Union St. near the intersection of Bayside Ave. in Flushing, the branch initially housed 25,000 volumes on two levels.
Surrounded by Mitchell Gardens, Linden Towers, Embassy Arms, and Linden Hills, the library name was conjoined from the above list of apartment dwellings and became the 51st member of the Queens Borough Public Library family.
With the ongoing expansion of families into the area, the Mitchell-Linden branch required expansion as well. Over a five-month period in 1988, the branch was renovated with a new circulation desk, new shelving, and new lighting structures and fixtures.
Over the years, the branch has reflected ethnic changes in the community structure. With an influx of Asians and Hispanics emigrating to Flushing, families are moving into Co-Operative apartments or Tudor-style private homes on neighboring streets. Over time, our collection has also greatly changed – to serve our customers better, we're constantly purchasing new materials. These include Videos, DVDs, CDs, Chinese VCD's, books and periodicals.
