There are at least two very important things that I learned from literary theory, especially the sometimes infamous deconstructionist variety. The first is the value of very close readings. There is nothing like a close reading to bring out the richest and fullest range of possibilities in a text. It is really only a means to an end, however, even though it is often assumed, wrongly, by deconstructive readers that a close reading that merely complicates an oversimplified interpretation of a text … [Read more...]

Nearing Fifty
I guess it must be the approaching milestone of turning fifty, but I am in a meditative mood these days about life.Well, the truth is, I think I have always been a meditative type. I used to write bad poems when I was a teenager that were ridiculous attempts at philosophizing about life (no, I won't share them) and later in my twenties and my thirties I dabbled in journal writing but it was usually the kind of stuff that now provides almost no window at all into my life. They are really only … [Read more...]
Waiting on the Lord
The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. Lamentations 3:25For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am in, therewith to be content. I know how to be abased and I know how to abound: everywhere and in everything I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and suffer need. Philippians 4: 11-12There is scarcely a moment in life when we cannot identify something that needs to change. I don't imagine that we … [Read more...]
The Blessings of Service: Lessons from Guatemala
Service opens the world to us. That, anyway, is what I have experienced in Guatemala where for the past 17 years I have joined a team of eye surgeons about every other year to work in a remote hospital in the highlands among people who are among some of the most underserved by modern healthcare in our hemisphere. I have no medical expertise, although I grew up wanting to become a doctor, but I do have Spanish language abilities that have allowed me to be of service as an interpreter and as an … [Read more...]
Anger, Forgiveness, and Community
I have been blogging here for two years, and throughout this time, I have been chiefly interested in the quest for community. I understand community to be something that is achieved when we find "unity with" (as the word implies) others, be they family and friends, strangers and foreigners or even enemies, as well as unity, or at least harmony, with place and within our ecological context. Unity is achieved when we overcome selfishness and enmity, when anger is replaced with love in our … [Read more...]
Agreeing to Disagree: Political Differences in a Community of Faith
Can people of faith be one even or especially if we aren't in agreement on politics? In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul exhorts us to be worthy of our vocation as Christians. We do this, he says, by "endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." This unity comes with work, "with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love." For Paul, at least, it is not only possible, but requisite as Christians, to find unity despite those differenc … [Read more...]

In it faith leaders from a variety of communities in Utah answered the question from their particular perspective.This is what the LDS church said:"While LDS Church leaders have not spoken specifically to issues of air quality in Utah, the church teaches that all humankind are stewards over the Earth and should gratefully use what God has given, avoid wasting life and resources and u … [Read more...]
Chile Journal #5: The Hope of Nature
Pablo Neruda once said that if you didn't know southern Chile and the Chilean forest, you didn't know this planet. He wasn't the first great poet to be guilty of bioregional chauvinism, of that kind of local pride that tends toward exaggeration and overstatement. But then again, having been here a few times and explored the area, I am not about to tell you he is wrong. As I have written before, I believe every place, just like every person, deserves a lover given to rapturous praise.The novel … [Read more...]

Where most "old-timey" ice cream parlors seem like self-conscious simulacra of some Norman Rockwell fantasy, Jerry's Soda Shoppe at the De Soto Pharmacy feels unspoiled by kitsch. Tucked between a wall of vintage Life magazines and rows of blunt yet evocative ointments like Corn Husker's Lotion, everything at Jerry's — the sundaes, the shakes, the banana splits, the ice cream sodas — looks gorgeous and tastes even better. Frosty glass mugs are hand-dipped in warm chocolate, which hardens into a delicious, edible carapace. Jerry's uses high-grade ice cream: Fosselman's, Cascade or Lappert's (including the signature flavor, Kauai Pie, a blend of chocolate and coffee). Fizzy soda water, the perfect amount of chocolate syrup and a hearty stir transform the egg cream into a frothy dream. The floats and sodas can be gussied up with half a dozen Torani syrups, though the purist's version with plain seltzer needs no improvement, especially when it's crowned with a mountain of whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles and a maraschino cherry. Even from the Mexican border, this tiny pocket of Canoga Park is worth the drive. 20914 Roscoe Blvd., Canoga Park. (818) 341-9515.

Augustus Gloop would never make it out alive. What makes Pasadena's Langham Huntington Hotel the best choice for afternoon tea can be summed up in one word: chocolate. On Sundays from noon to 5 p.m., the hotel's regular tea service, smashing in itself, is replaced by an all-chocolate afternoon tea. The selection of savory tea sandwiches, scones with Devonshire cream, fruit tarts, mousse torts and crème brûlées all contain different chocolate essences. A chocolate fountain is the focal point of the afternoon ritual, with surrounding chocolate sculptural art. Beverage choices include three selections of pure liquid chocolate, Champagne and a variety of the finest teas. Among the offerings are a foie gras mousse profiterole sprinkled with chocolate dust and a white chocolate–and-avocado mousse with vanilla-marinated shrimp sandwich. An epic 16 choices are offered in the "pastry presentation," including a cocoa-nib macaroon with Earl Grey butter cream; milk-chocolate orange gateau; and a white-chocolate green tea panna cotta. Dipping choices for the chocolate fountain include peppermint and lemon marshmallows, nougats, fruits and cakes. It feels a bit incongruous to gorge on so much chocolatey goodness in such a refined, elegant setting as the Langham. Just remember to daintily dab the corners of your mouth with your fine linen napkin lest you emerge with an unsightly chocolate ring around your lips. That would be gauche. 1401 S. Oak Knoll Ave., Pasadena. (626) 585-6218, pasadena.langhamhotels.com.

If you like life on the dark side, you'll love pizza from Lucifers, a tiny storefront that could be easily overlooked if it weren't for the orange flames painted on the façade. There, you can customize the heat/spice intensity of your pizza by specifying zero, medium, fiery or blazing. But watch out: Blazing necessitates keeping a pitcher of ice water at the ready should you require emergency cool-down procedures — which you will. The idea for this "damned good pizza," as their slogan goes, comes from New Zealanders, cousins Adam and Milan Borch. "It's dark in our country, and we like the dark side of things," says Milan. "The idea of hell goes hand in hand with our concept." Even without what he calls their "secret sauce," all the pizzas are devilishly unique, such as Roast Pumpkin & Prosciutto; the Zucha, with pumpkin, olives, feta and spinach; and gluten-free and vegan cheese options. To die for: The R.I.P. club entitles you to one free pizza after your 10th. 1958 Hillhurst Ave., Los Feliz. (323) 906-8603, luciferspizza.com.

Without the kick to qualify as hot sauce, the tomato-based, sugary-yet-smoky topping that is the staple flavor of this decades-old gringo taco joint is simply "taco sauce," given in generous handfuls of packets with every order and even sold separately for the condiment's numerous cult followers. Taco Lita, the retro stand, is a slice of Americana: bright colors, cheerful servers, a no-frills menu with greasy combo burritos, and rumors of a ghost that haunts the men's restroom. This spot isn't for al Past whores, so don't try ordering it — refried beans and shredded cheddar can be found in virtually all menu items, which can and should be doused with their signature sauce, so addictive you will find yourself hoarding the packets in a jar at home, and returning for more on your next calorie binge. 120 E.

A great pizza is a work of art. And a great pizza for under $20? A masterpiece. The Pizza a la Andro at Caruso's is a masterpiece. Named after one of the owner's sons (son Lucas also has his own), the Pizza a la Andro comes only in "giant" size: 16 inches across, producing 12 decent-size slices. Its chewy, medium-thick crust bears generous amounts of pepperoni, sausage, fresh tomatoes, garlic and basil, in addition to deliciously gooey cheese (romano and mozzarella). The best part? It costs just $18.95. Caruso's has a full menu of delicious Italian food, including pastas, calzones and meat dishes; it also offers a full bar, a lunch buffet and even live music.

A whitetail deer's sense of hearing is one of its strongest defenses against predators and for communication within its herd. While every hunter has heard stories about deer hearing the "tink" of a bow or gun against a stand, some research suggests a deer's hearing actually is not much greater than a human's. That's difficult to imagine on a crisp morning, though, when that buck perks his ears and looks at you on the stand!

This time, Spencer Juergens came out on the winning side.
Juergens, who threw seven shutout innings for the Washington Post 218 Seniors (7-3, 5-3) against West in a 1-0 loss last Friday, picked up a 3-0 victory over Daniel Boone Wednesday at Rotary Recreational Complex - Ronsick Field.
"Spencer came out looking strong and looked to get stronger throughout the game," Coach Ben Cassat said. "The other coaches and I had every intention of letting him finish the game, but a prolonged eighth inning set him over the pitch limit that we had in mind for him."
Washington's Thursday game at Warrenton was rained out.
Tournament Action
On Wednesday, Post 218 recorded a 3-0 victory over Daniel Boone at Rotary Recreational Complex - Ronsick Field.
It's tournament time for the Post 218 Seniors. Washington plays this weekend in the Festus Tournament with these scheduled games:
• Friday versus Mid-Illinois Bears at West City Park, 8 p.m.;
• Saturday at noon against Festus at West City Park;
• Saturday at 2:30 p.m. against Fairview Heights, Ill., at 2:30 p.m.; and
• Sunday at 10 a.m. at Jefferson College in Hillsboro against Gonzales.
Washington then is idle until starting play in its own tournament Wednesday.
Pool games are against:
• Thoman Boothe Wednesday at Ronsick Field at 9:30 a.m.;
• Farmington Thursday at Borgia at 11 a.m.; and
• Mayfield, Ky., Friday at Ronsick Field at 7:30 p.m.
Playoff games will run Saturday and Sunday. Washington will have at least one additional game depending upon where it finishes in the pool.
Daniel Boone
The story of the game was Juergens, who went eight innings. He allowed four hits and two walks while fanning seven Daniel Boone batters.
"Tanner (Kulpa) threw well for us, and normally when we hold an opponent to three runs I really like our chances to put up a W," Post 262 Manager Scott Horace said. "In this case, we just have to tip our cap to Spencer. He was very effective getting ahead in the count and not allowing the one hit that we needed that would have made a difference for us."
Juergens needed 119 pitches with 80 of them in the strike zone. He threw 14 groundouts with only one flyout. He was able to get his first pitch over for a strike against 25 of the 31 batters he faced.
Justin Schuler came in to finish out the game, allowing a walk, but striking out two.
"Justin Schuler came in and got the save, walking one and striking out two," Cassat said.
Washington needed every bit of that pitching domination as Post 218 only managed five hits against Daniel Boone pitchers.
"We only had five hits, but they had four," Cassat said. "Our five were enough."
Tanner Kulpa went 5.2 innings for Post 262, allowing three runs on four hits and four walks. He struck out six, but was over 100 pitches when he was pulled.
Austin Forney pitched the final 2.1 innings, allowing one hit and three walks. He struck out two.
"Both pitchers for Boone brought it pretty good," Cassat said. "It seemed like they had some control issues from the stretch, which helped us get base runners around."
The game was the second meeting in three days between the two teams and this game had been postponed from a previous rainout. Monday's game was a 7-4 Daniel Boone win and was ended in the top of the sixth due to rain.
Daniel Boone threatened in the opening inning, but Washington held firm.
"We loaded the bases in the top of the first with one out and didn't score," Horace said. "That set a tone that carried through the next seven innings as we had chances but just couldn't get that one hit that we needed to break the seal and get things rolling."
Washington scored the only run it needed in the bottom of the first and added two insurance runs in the third. From there, both teams posted goose eggs on the scoreboard.
Seth Bollmann scored two of Washington's three runs.
"Seth was impressive in the leadoff spot," Cassat said. "He did not have a hit, but walked three times. That's what you ask of your leadoff man. He also had a couple stolen bases that put the pressure on the Daniel Boone defense."
Austin Finder posted two hits from the third spot in the lineup and scored the other run. He also had an RBI and a stolen base.
Washington's other hits, all singles, came from Sam Katzung, Noah Borgerding and Aaron Meyer.
Katzung drove in a run and Borgerding added a walk. Meyer was the team's designated hitter after arm soreness earlier in the week.
"Aaron Meyer had one hit in the DH spot after tweaking his elbow/shoulder on Monday night," said Cassat. "That allowed some other guys to step up defensively."
Mitch Hammack went into the lineup at first base and contributed two walks.
John Himmelberg added a walk.
"It was a total team effort and a great win for us," Cassat said. "All in all, the highlight of the game was Spencer. If we can get outings like that from him all summer, we should be in good shape."
Andrew Curran doubled for Daniel Boone. Forney, Kulpa and Eric Huenke singled. Curran also sacrificed.
Huenke and Tyler Horace reached on errors. Washington made the only two fielding miscues in the game.
"It should be a fun summer," Scott Horace said about the Ninth District. "Any one of four or five teams could end up coming out on top of the standings. Whoever does will have earned it this year, that's for sure."

Asian Americans overall obtain high levels of formal education, but an analysis of recent census data reveals large disparities between Asian American ethnic groups.
The percentage of high school graduates is as high as 96 percent among Taiwanese Americans and as low as 61 percent among Hmong Americans, according to a report [PDF] released last week by the Asian American Center for Advancing Justice. The rate of bachelor's degrees ranges from 12 percent among Laotians to 73 percent among Taiwanese.
These lower rates of educational attainment put some Asian American ethnic groups on par with Latinos and African Americans, the report found. Sixty-one percent of Latinos and 81 percent of African Americans have high school diplomas; 13 percent of Latinos and 18 percent of African Americans have bachelor's degrees.
Help us do more.
All together, 86 percent of Asian Americans have high school diplomas, and 49 percent have bachelor's degrees, the center's analysis of data from the 2007-09 American Community Survey found. Compared with other racial groups, Asian Americans have the highest rate of bachelor's degrees, but their high school graduation rate is second to that of whites (90 percent).
Even though the data include both American-born and immigrant Asians, they reflect the various pathways Asian immigrants take to the United States, said Daniel Ichinose, director of the Demographic Research Project and Census Information Center at the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, which co-authored the report.
The majority of Asian immigrants who became legal permanent residents in 2010 – 62 percent – entered as immediate relatives of U.S. citizens or under family-sponsored preferences. Twenty-three percent immigrated under employment-based preferences.
"Educational attainment among Asian Americans in this country is really sculpted and shaped by immigration policies," Ichinose said.
For example, 52 percent of South Korean immigrants came to the U.S. under employment-based preferences. According to census data, 92 percent of Koreans hold high school diplomas and 52 percent have bachelor's degrees. On the other hand, just 1 percent of Vietnamese immigrants came to the U.S. under employment-based preferences. Vietnamese educational attainment was among the lowest of Asian Americans: 72 percent graduate from high school, and 27 percent finish college.
The report also notes that many Asian Americans face language barriers. Nearly three out of four speak a language other than English at home, and about one-third are limited-English proficient.
The report's findings are particularly significant in California, which has more Asian Americans and more English learners than any other state. Tens of thousands of students who speak Asian languages – the most common are Vietnamese, Filipino, Cantonese, Hmong, Korean and Mandarin – attend California public schools.
Nationwide, 16 percent of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students are English learners.
The diversity of Asian languages "certainly creates challenges in terms of educating youth," Ichinose said. "Language access … does play out in our schools. We certainly want education policymakers to address that."
The report calls for including Asian Americans, particularly underrepresented groups such as Southeast Asians, in affirmative action programs in education. It also says that government, corporations, foundations and other stakeholders need to invest in bilingual K-12 education and that more funding is needed to provide English-language programs for adults.

Hey guys! I'm Nicole and I'm a sophomore studying Public Relations at Penn State University. I'm so excited to be back for my third semester as a Style Guru and first as an Editor. The opportunities I've been given through CollegeFashionista have been so great and I can't wait to see where I go from here. Although, it hasn't been great for my bank account since I want to buy every single thing every Style Guru gives a link to. But hey, if clothing is my vice, so be it. My style can be described in two words: Free People. Seriously though, I want to live in that store. I mean, I kind of already do, and my debit card is begging me to move out. The boho look really works for me because I'm constantly running around and don't have time to raid my closet every morning for a perfectly polished look. Fashion isn't about always looking "perfect" anyway. Now when it comes time to get ready to go out, you're better off keeping a good distance from my room because there is such a thing as a perfect going out outfit. State College is the perfect place to spot Fashionista/os because every frat party is literally a fashion show. So read my articles every Monday to get you through the rest of the week!

Lupus antibodies related to persistent disease activity and heart disease
Resource Content
What is the topic?
People with lupus are at increased risk for developing heart disease. It is known that lupus patients make antibodies (immune proteins) that could interfere with some of the proteins that control cholesterol. Since unregulated cholesterol is a risk factor for heart disease, it is possible that these particular antibodies might increase the risk for this in lupus patients.
What did the researchers hope to learn?
The researchers hoped to learn whether antibodies to cholesterol regulators are associated with disease activity or heart disease in people with lupus. The antibodies studied are called anti-apolipoprotein A-I (anti-Apo A-I), anti-high-density lipoprotein (anti-HDL), and anti-C-reactive protein (anti-CRP).
Who was studied?
81 people with lupus volunteered for this study at University College, London. 34 people without lupus were also studied.
How was the study conducted?
The following information was looked at: whether the patients had mostly high or low disease activity over a two-year period, whether or not they had a flare, whether they developed lupus nephritis (inflammation of the kidney), and whether they had evidence of heart disease within the past year.
What did the researchers find?
Levels of anti-Apo A-I and anti-HDL were highest in people with mostly high lupus disease activity compared to those with persistently low disease activity. These antibodies were even lower in healthy people.
One antibody, anti-Apo A-I, seemed to be significantly increased after a flare.
Among those with newly diagnosed nephritis, levels of anti-dsDNA seemed to be associated with those of anti-HDL and anti-Apo A-I.
Levels of anti-Apo A-I, anti-HDL, and anti-CRP were significantly higher in people with lupus who had heart disease within the past year as compared to healthy people.
What were the limitations of the study?
Most of the patients included in the part of the study in which anti-HDL was looked at before and after a flare started out with high levels of this antibody, which may have made it harder to see changes caused by a flare. Disease activity measurements were only available for half of the people with lupus who had heart disease within the past year, thus limiting the amount of information that could be used. Lastly, many of the people with lupus who had heart disease within the past year either smoked or had high blood pressure, which may have unknown effects on the outcome of this study.
What do the results mean for you?
Persistently high lupus disease activity may lead to increased levels of antibodies that interfere with control of cholesterol levels, possibly increasing the risk for heart disease in people with lupus. Details of these relationships need further study.
Antibodies to apolipoprotein A-I, high-density lipoprotein, and C-reactive protein are associated with disease activity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.

It is a fact now, Keravnos Strovolou is the new champion of the Cyprus league after seven years (last title was during the period 2000-2001)
Keravnos Strovolou beat Aspis Apoel Nicosia in a game which finished just some minutes ago, with 71-66 and won the title!! The Cypriot captain, Giorgos Anastasiadis (194-G/F-77) was the MVP of the game and proved once more why he considered all these years being the top Cypriot player the last decade, even though some people doubted in many occasions this season, eurobasket.com, was always on the site of the captain of Strovolos and Cyprus NT and many times criticize the 'basketball experts' who doubted the jewel of Cyprus Basketball.
In regards to the game now, the game was a real derby, as expected and as all the games between these two teams, the last two decades.
Keravnos Strovolou took an early lead and never lost it until the end. The two teams under the pressure of the game and its importance started the game quite nervously, during the first quarter, Keravnos took a lead of 10 points 17-7 to lost it immediately with Aspis Apoel Nicosia's top performer Jo-Jo Garcia (who was very good exactly like all the games against Keravnos all the years of his presentation with Apoel's jersey) cut the deficit to 5, with a small series of 0-5. Top player in this first quarter was Bryant Smith with 6 points. During the second half, Keravnos had some serious problems as two of the basic players and important tools, Aleksandar Radojevic (220-C-76, college: Barton County CC) and Hart were called their third personal foul just 14 and 16 minutes after the beginning of the game, that was when Apoel made its comeback (especially after Aleksandar Radojevic's third foul, as he was amazing in his defending duties up until that minute), the score became 27-25 to finish with 38-31, when Giorgos Anastasiadis took over. In the third quarter there was only one team in the court and that was Keravnos Strovolou, the Strovolos team with very strong defence and very good peripheral game took the initiatives and driven the score to its maximum of 11 points, 47-36, 3.23'' before the end of the game. Aspis Apoel Nicosia reacted and made the score 51-43 by the end of the third quarter.
The fourth and most crucial quarter, Aspis Apoel Nicosia tried to take the control of the game, the yellow players of Yiangoullis, manage to do so and cut the deficit even to the two points but.... Giorgos Anastasiadis took his gun and with his passion and spirit like a real captain in the difficulties showed his gats, and like all the games in Strovolos against Apoel, lead his team to a great victory 71-66 and the title to Strovolos and Paris Papaellinas 's team.
The points for the two teams were as follows:
Keravnos Strovolou: Yiannas 3, Anastasiadis 13, Smith 17, Hart 7, Damjanovic 10, Radojevic 4, Trisokkas 14, kosanovic 3.
Aspis Apoel: Van Dorpe 3, Pantouris 13, Garcia 20, Radunovic 4, Hansen 5, Miseta 3, Jones 7, Wheller 11
At the end of the game the MVP of the game, Giorgos Anastasiadis stated that the Cypriot players were the key of the success and won the title, as Keravnos during the seazon had many difficulties with the foreigners and especially the American players, due to injuries.
Eurobasket.com, congratulates the winning team of Keravnos Strovolou and wishes all the best to the European games of the coming seazon.

Nikola Pekovic (210-C-86) of Partizan Igokea Beograd (SRB) was voted Euroleague Player of the Year by Eurobasket correspondents. It was a very close vote with Jeremiah Massey (202-F-82) of Aris Thessaloniki (GRE).
Massey had slightly better stats. He had only 0.6 ppg, 1.5 rpg and 1.4 index rate per game more than Pekovic but he played 3 games less than Pekovic because of Euroleague quarter finals. Massey spent 33 minutes per game on the court while Pekovic had 27 mpg. Guard of the Year goes to Will Solomon. He had strong competition coming from Papaloukas, McIntyre and Diamantidis. But he posted better final stats. But there was no doubt who gets the award of the best defensive player. It goes to Terence Morris of Maccabi Elite who was top blocker and grabbed most of the rebounds. We had some problems with selecting top 5 import players. Tau's Tiago Splitter should make that list. But he has also Spanish passport, so is already counted as domestic player.
Player of the Year: Nikola Pekovic of Partizan Igokea

Thursday night in FEB eredivisie play, Upstairs Weert, needing a win to stay in the hunt for the last playoff spot, got the job done on the rod vs. Landstede Basketball, while a strong 2nd half effort by Eiffel Towers helped them win convincingly over Hanzevast Capitals, and Den Helder Seals played a spoiler role and beating Rotterdam Challengers.
In the ZBC-hal, with Landstede leading 76-70 with 59.1 secs. remaining, Upstairs did not give up, thanks to big plays by both Ashley Champion (198-F-81, college: Chattanooga), Trey McDowell (188-G-85, college: Louisiana Tech) and Maarten Esveldt (200-F-84), wiping the Landstede lead away with a 10-0 run, going on to win 80-76. McDowell gave Landstede fits throughout the entire game, with Landstede failing to come up with a way to shut him down. McDowell scored a game-high 29 pts. Champion was a warrior, after an Esveldt three-pointer that tied the game up at 76-76, he came up with a big steal at halfcourt and was fouled on a layup attempt. Champion calmly made both free throws that gave Upstairs the lead for good. Despite coughing up the ball three times in crunch time, Landstede still had a chance to win the game in te last seconds, but a Gerad Punch (193-G/F, college: Furman) three-point attempt with 2.9 seconds remaining rimmed out. Esveldt was fouled on the rebound and iced the win for Upstairs with making two free throws. The win put Upstairs in a position to shake up the bottom half of the FEB playoff race.
In the Maaspoort on Thursday night, Eiffel Towers overcame a 31-15 deficit to over take Hanzevast Capitals in the second half, going on to win convincingly 88-76.
Travis Young (184-G-79, agency: Interperformances, college: Marshall) was unstopable, scoring a game-high 26 pts., with 5 assists and 4 steals to lead Eiffel. A 36-22 3rd quarter made a big difference for Eiffel. With the win, Eiffel moves into 3rd place ahead of Matrixx Magixx with still a chance to catch West-Brabant Giants for 2nd place.
In Den Helder, the Den Helder Seals kept Rotterdam Challengers from advancing upwards in the FEB standings with a 92-90 win, snapping a nine-game losing streak. Both J.R. Duffey (201-F/G-84, agency: Court Side, college: Niagara) and Tjoe de Paula (183-G-81, agency: Court Side) led Den Helder Seals in scoring.

Mitar Trivunovic, player of Kraski zidar Jadran, achieved 42 points on the Wednesday's game of UPC Telemach League For The Existence against Alpos from Sentjur. This is the second highest achievement in The UPC Telemach League this season and is only one point behind Gil Goodrich's (178-G-82, Zagorje) record of scoring 43 points against Polzela on March 15th. We asked Trivunovic what was going on in his head during the game, as we were curious how someone can achieve something like this.
Trivunovic answers: 'Before coming to Kraski zidar Jadran, I had a lot of problems with my heart and was not able to play basketball for three months. It was a big challenge for me to come back and it still is, as I believe I can do even much more than that, when I bring my game to the level, on which it once already was. Now, I am determined to help Kraski zidar Jadran to achieve the goals that we set. This is the highest priority and all the players in the team work for that. For this game, my friend helped me to get extremely motivated and it seems like the players were able to recognize I have this special energy inside of me today. I appreciate them more than you can imagine. They are so smart, they know I have a lot of experiences and skills and they let me play the role that I like the most. I would like to thank them for that from the depth of my hearth! I really enjoyed this game and I hope this step on our way will bring us to our final destination.'
Michel Morandais (198-G/F-79, college: Colorado) has been waived by MMT Estudiantes today, as the club announced to media. He started the season with ACA Barcelona, replacing injured player Alex Acker, but when Acker went back. Michel Morandais was cut by Barca and signed by MMT Estudiantes. In the last games his role had low relevance and his adding was not enough to keep him in the roster. The club from Madrid wll try to avoid relegation with one less man in the roster.

Despite debate about how Native American casinos impact Tribal members, a new study has found that casinos have improved both health and health care of Native Americans.
The study, The Income and Health Effects of Tribal Casino Gaming on American Indians, was conducted by a group from the Institute for Research on Poverty. Approximately 24,000 Native Americans were included, with data drawn from 1988 to 2003.
The researchers found that casinos raised household income by an average of 5.3%. Health benefits included:
9.6% decrease in smoking
7.3% decrease in anxiety
Probability of heavy drinking reduced by about 5.2%, and
Probability of being obese or overweight, having hypertension or diabetes by between 2% and 4%.

The betting was brisk and with such luminaries as Damian Fewster, John Longley, Skip Lissiman, Andy Fethers, Ben Durham, Peter Gilmour, Scott McAllister and Chris Sutherland, the race was loaded with talent. Then there was the addition of the Keogh's who had started the SB20's in Fremantle and featured so prominently in the Harbour race last year. Anything could happen.
Sailing windward / leeward races, the wind pressure did not get above 10 knots, but the gusts gave advantages to those who could pick them and whilst all the crews were improving, it was a matter of learning the boat and sailing it to your advantage.
Given that the crews were loaded with talent, it was up to the abilities of the crews to mesh. The only family on the water was the Gilmour gang and it was clear that they had the advantage from the go. With all the experience on the water, the betting was hard on the family and they did not fail the punters.
A close finish in the first race and then two bullets in the next two races had them as clear winners of the Legends race and as Skip Lissiman said in an email thanking the club the next day.
'Well done to FSC and all the team! I can't speak on behalf of all of the old AC guys out sailing yesterday - but from the feedback I had in bar after the racing - all had a great day! I certainly did! So well done for the idea and making it happen.
Can we make it an annual event??

Modelling Mortality with Common Stochastic Long-Run Trends
Modelling mortality and longevity risk is critical to assessing risk for insurers issuing longevity risk products. It has challenged practitioners and academics alike because of first the existence of common stochastic trends and second the unpredictability of an eventual mortality improvement in some age groups. When considering cause-of-death mortality rates, both aforementioned trends are additionally affected by the cause of death. Longevity trends are usually forecasted using a Lee-Carter model with a single stochastic time series for period improvements, or using an age-based parametric model with univariate time series for the parameters. We assess a multivariate time series model for the parameters of the Heligman-Pollard function, through Vector Error Correction Models which include the common stochastic long-run trends. The model is applied to circulatory disease deaths in U.S. over a 50-year period and is shown to be an improvement over both the Lee-Carter model and the stochastic parameter ARIMA Heligman-Pollard model.

Description: A feast for lovers of American literature-the work of our greatest poet, redesigned and relaunched for a new generation of readers No poet is more emblematically American than Robert Frost. From "The Road Not Taken" to "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," he refined and even defined our sense of what poetry is and what it can do. T. S. Eliot judged him "the most eminent, the most distinguished Anglo-American poet now living," and he is the only writer in history to have been awarded four Pulitzer Prizes. Henry Holt is proud to announce the republication of four editions of Frost's most beloved work for a new generation of poets and readers. You Come Too A collection of poems selected by Frost himself to be read and enjoyed by all readers, young and old.

Robert Frost, the quintessential poet of New England, was born in San Francisco in 1874. He was educated at Dartmouth College and Harvard University. Although he managed to support himself working solely as a poet for most of his life and holding various posts with a number of universities, as a young man he was employed as a bobbin boy in a mill, a cobbler, a schoolteacher, and a farmer. Frost, whose poetry focuses on natural images of New England, received the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry four times for: New Hampshire, Collected Poems, A Further Range, and A Witness Tree. His works are noted for combining characteristics of both romanticism and modernism. He also wrote A Boy's Will, North of Boston, Mountain Interval, and The Gift Outright, among others. Frost married Elinor Miriam White in 1895, and they had six children--Elliott, Lesley, Carol, Irma, Marjorie, and Elinor Bettina. He died in Boston in 1963.

Get PAID for Surfing the Net !
|General Info : Earn points for surfing, 1 point equates to 1 minute of surfing, Lots of ways to earn money with this bar, potentially you could earn more than $300 from your own usage alone, but this would require substantial work. Apart from using the bar you can earn :- Instant Cash for signing up to websites, Games, Shopping - get points for buying, receiving emails, entering points sweepstakes. The value of a point is determined at the end of each month. Statistics are updated at the website in real-time.
|Bar Usage Requirements : You must be actively surfing to earn with this bar, i.e. You must be surfing the Internet. Using a browser AND change your urls on a regular basis, i.e. Visit different websites minute by minute, else the bar will stop recording time, also you must move your mouse at least once every 10 seconds. Thus it is highly unlikely if not impossible for you to get the 1 point per minute stated, more likely points will accrue at the rate of 0.4 points per minute for active surfing, though this is offset to some degree by spending a few minutes signing up to some of the various websites on offer for an average of 70 points.
|Hints / Tips : This bar does not require you to click ads, but apparently if you do click a few ads a day, your points will accrue faster. If you actively surf more than 2 hours a day for more than 20 days a month, and sign up for more than 20 instant cash programs, then you will get a 25% bonus. A star will be added to your account page each day that qualifies towards the bonus requirement, so you can see if you are on target or not.
|Special Notes : Copy the downloaded program to the directory you wish to install to, note it will delete the downloaded file during installation. A service charge is made when requesting cheques $1.50 for US and $4.50 international.
|Latest News : New bar released automatic update, needs a lot of system resources so do not run other programs when updating . Members are required to update their profiles else likely points will stop accruing. Pay rate is stable and now extremely high when compared against most other get paid companies. As things now stand this bar is by far the highest payer !
|General Info : The Mini-Portal is a tiny ad bar that can be moved anywhere on your screen and makes you money. As long as you're on the Internet, you can run the Mini-Portal while using any other software at the same time. Therefore, you can Get Paid every minute that you're emailing friends, typing papers, playing games, surfing, or just using your computer. The bar also includes the following useful features - Search engine, free software, email, voicemail tools. And is one of the smallest downloads at just 150k. On balance even though the pay rate is low and referrals only go 3 deep, it is a very easy bar to earn with and clock up the 40 hours.
|Bar Usage Requirements : Does not require active surfing, does require a mouse movement once every 5 minutes, which is quite lengthy by most standards.
|Hints / Tips : The bar must be fully visible, if its covered it will cease earning until it is visible, so don't attempt to place other bars over this one. Regular contests and money prizes based on number of hours surfed between two dates, log into your account for details of the current contest.
|Special Notes : If you are inactive for more than 60days your account will be deleted and you will lose all your accrued balance and referrals. Download and use the instant messenger and get twice the payrate (note you will be using 2 programs), which allows you to send messages to other messenger users, includes auto translation between 12 languages.
|Latest News : None - Continued stability and reliability of bar and earnings.
|Bar Usage Requirements : No bar, Log into the account and start playing the game. This game works great with bars like Spedia, i.e.they stay active whilst you play this game ! a perfect way to stay active for such bars !
Hints / Tips : - The key is to attack other players basis, and steal some of their money on successful attacks.To find bases you'll need to travel around the planet's surface. You'll also need to have the weapons to accomplish the task and the fortifications and security to protect your own base. You can buy such items at Trading Posts which are scattered throughout the world. By drilling for oil in Fields you'll be able to afford improvements. You start with 5 Azkar dollars ($1.75 US), the best initial strategy is :-
1. Map out your surrounding area, work outwards from your base in a spiral pattern, Excel or other spreadsheets are very useful for this task.
2. Join a MDN (Mutual Defense Network), you should be able to get in on the ones ranked 100, this will help you defend your base against attacks.
3. Drill for oil, with your goal being to purchase the medium drill as your first item, that will increase the amount of oil you have
4. Attack all bases, you don't have much money to lose and you could get lucky on a winning assault on a rich base.
5. Purchase the Oil Rig, which will allow you to drill for even more oil.
|Special Notes : Once you have $15 or $20 you can request a cheque, during a cashout period, usually at the end of the month and you have 5 days to request payment in, thus allows time to make up for any lost monies, this is to ensure that the strong players don't have time to steel all the money from the less strong players.

|Latest News : Pay rate continues to tumble, now effective pay rate is just 5 cents per hour !, Also new bar released, though the old bar continues to work okay and will likely do so for many more months. The bar is also less reliable than in the past
General Info : This is a bar from a British company, shows stats in real-time on the bar itself !, they recently cut the pay rate which means a lower rating for this excellent bar. The bar is very stable and feature rich. The company has recently expanded to include other European Countries and also includes Canada, so please check availability, pays in 3 currencies, £'s sterling US $'s and the Euro. Of particular interest is the relatively high payment rate for level 1 referrals at 10cents per hour, most companies equate to 5cents or less. So a good one to get referrals signed up to. You can also earn from making their page your start page and get paybacks on good purchased through them. This bar is a must for anyone living in the EU !
|Bar Usage Requirements : This bar requires mouse movement and an advert click through once every 45 minutes. The bar does not require active surfing.
|Hints / Tips : - Other bars can be placed on top or behind this bar, without effecting earnings.
|Special Notes : Referrals - You will only get paid for 10 hour surf time for each referral and NOT the 40 hour maximum. Also you may have to wait for the download, depending on which country you reside in. If you do not use the program in any one month for more than 60 mins, then expect a large charge to be made to your account i.e. Approx. $15 ! to be taken off your account ! This rule will supposedly end in December. NOTE - New pay rate structure, the more you surf the higher the payrate, i.e. 6 cents for 40 hours, 12 cents for 80 hours, though only 40 hours in total will be deemed payable, this profit related structure could extend to 50cents per hour depending on level and type of activity.
|Latest News : Moving more towards a performance based bar rather than flat rate, profit related pay estimated at 50 cents per hour flat rate at just 6 cents, CHEATING EXCUSE - The company has drastically reduced earnings from referrals, they indicate it is temporary and we will keep you informed if this is the case.
|General Info : The 8 levels give this bar a lot of potential to earn through referrals. Does not require any download,just go to the website and log in using your user name and password, then a small window will pop-up, after which you can continue to surf as normal, thus you can use this bar near instantly wherever you are. Statistics are updated at the website in real time.
|Bar Usage Requirements : Does NOT require active surfing. Every 12-18 minutes you will be asked to click on a number, i.e. The bar will show one large number, and you have to click The corresponding one from a list of 8 numbers. If you fail to click The number within 30seconds The session will time out and you will not be credited with any time since the last validation prompt.
|Hints / Tips : It is very important to complete The first validation (number prompt), if you do not then you will not get credited for any surftime if you close the session yourself or it times out, subsequent sessions do credit time if you close them before the next validation prompt. Also be on alert when using other applications, the bar may not pop-up, thus you may miss the validation prompt and be timed out, making this now a much harder bar to earn with.
|Special Notes : They have recently introduced a non pop-up permanent on top bar , which requires a third party download (turbo top), though this requires greater validation. Complete the member survey and receive a 'guaranteed minimum 20 cents' per hour pay rate, otherwise your pay rate will be just 2 cents per hour. Pay rate is 12 cents for the first 2 hours per day, excess hours are just 2 cents per hour.
|Latest News : Taken over by Moveabout, promise to increase pay rate.
|General Info : With the release of the new bar this program has improved significantly from a browser based pop-up to a standalone view bar that can be docked at the top or bottom or even made to float on the screen. You are paid to watch adverts upto a limit of 15,000 per month at 180 adverts per hour, this equates to a monthly maximum of 83 hours. Has the potential for a great bar, only thing lacking is that it only pays to 2 referral levels.
|Bar Usage Requirements : Does not require active surfing, does require a mouse movement once every 3 minutes. A window pops up every 30-45 mins asking you to enter a number into a text box.
|Hints / Tips : Other bars can be placed over this bar, is very stable and works well with all bars.
|Special Notes : Also pays for reading / sending emails and signing up to offers on their site.
|Latest News : Recently released a new bar (version 4-Update) this release enables easy account access, as well as more services on offer to earn bonus points. The bar requires much more system resources thus harder on less advanced systems.
|General Info : Personal hours capped at 10 (US) results in low personal surf time income. One of the first programs and still one of the most reliable, well established with payments in local currencies i.e. £'s sterling. Maximum number of hours are country dependent Sign-up to this one because Alladvantage IS the number one company with the most experience, thus you can expect greater reliability / long-term commitment. Statistics are updated at the website in real time.
|Bar Usage Requirements : This bar Does require active surfing, you have to be using your browser. Mouse movement every couple of minutes, and click an advert once per hour.
|Hints / Tips : Set the bar so as its only visible when your using a browser, undocked, rather than permanently occupying screen space. Use this bar with other active surf bars such as Spedia, easy to use up the low hourly limits.
|Special Notes : Have a tendency to negate some of your income from referrals to help balance there books, i.e. Cover for their mistakes and mis-management. Eventhough same people from the same household can sign-up, the bar may only be installed on 1 computer for each user !, i.e. Two users cannot share the same computer, if they do then alladvantage will stop paying for referrals. Sign up 20 referrals either direct or indirect and become an A+ member, with increased payouts. Referrals - You only need to surf upto your countries maximum hours to get 100% income from your referrals i.e. In the US the maximum payable hours is 15, and in the UK it is 18, a US citizen only needs to surf for 15 hours to get 100% (18 hours) of any UK referrals surf time.
|Latest News : The once King of Get Paid continues to tumble ! Now with 9,000,000 members, the largest number by far, which means you can expect less referrals than from other bars. As with all surf companies the pay rates have tumbled, current pay rate is just 1/5th that of what was being paid at its peak, hours have also tumbled to just 10 for most countries, also the bar is more crash prone that before.
|General Info : The CashSurfer Navigator is a banner window along the top or bottom of your screen. You are rewarded for banners displayed, clicking on the banners, reading email, each search, and for referrals. They also offer free email, web pages, greeting cards and other similar web-stuff. Best of all, this program is available world-wide. The pay rate equates to approx. 5cents per hour, but tends to fluctuate a lot.
|Bar Usage Requirements : This bar does not require active surfing, but you do need to move your mouse to stay active, when the LED on the bar is GREEN you are earning when red not, though sometimes it goes red anyway regardless of whether or not your moving your mouse. Also requires an advert click through once every 45 mins, otherwise a window will pop up reminding you to click on some adverts. A recent update has introduced a check box to prevent annoying pop-ups, otherwise levee it checked to receive offers for extra points.
|Hints / Tips : The bar is processor intensive, i.e. If your PC specs or on the low end, it could slow it down significantly. There is a live technical support page at their website.
|Special Notes : Auditing is now only a problem with referral income i.e. In detecting cheaters, for most users auditing will now make little difference as the hours have been changed from unlimited to 120.
|Latest News : Change in hours to a maximum of 4 per day, 120 per month, though note any hours in excess of 4 for any single day do not count, the account stats page reflects this change and shows daily hourly stats. Another bar where the pay rate has tumbled, to just 5 cents an hour !
|Bar Usage Requirements : Does not require active surfing, does require mouse movement at least once every 2 minutes, a status bar on the left of the bar turns red if you are inactive, green if you are active.
|Hints / Tips : The bar is in beta release and is buggy, if it works fine than use it, if it does not then check back after a few weeks to see if the bugs have been fixed that prevented it from operating properly, more than one user can use the bar on the same computer i.e. Log in (not at the same time).
|Special Notes : As a special incentive to sign up and use the bar, beta users will get a 10% increase in commission percentages on each level.
|Latest News : Due to the viewbar being buggy, the company has recently released the quick bar, which is similar in operation to ClickDough, i.e. Can be used anywhere and requires user validation to be credited with surf time, this occurs every 12-15 minutes, if you fail to cash in your surf-time you will be logged off. Pay outs are a question, the company is not proving reliable when it comes to paying peoples !
Your now well on your way to making tons of cash 4 surfing!, the best strategy involves getting comfortable with having the view bars on your screen, start with 2, then 4, then 6 bars !, once you start getting a decent income from surfing, invest in a large monitor and go for 8 or 10 bars !

-Could you explain your situation a little more?Did you have some problems with this judge during his or her representation of you?
If this is a consented name change why would there be a conflict of interest?
Dear Customer - You can file a motion for the judge to recuse himself based on this. Whether that will happen I cannot say but this should be a very simple name change if no one is contesting the action. You can also file a complaint for judicial bias with the state supreme court as well as the Bar Association. If a local attorney has checked the form for any flaws and found none then this sounds like the judge has a ax to grind with you and that would be bias if the judge is also ruling on a current case.

It sounds like you either changed the MAC address of your wireless device and therefore cannot connect which you can then add new MAC address to your friend's router/AP or you are hacking and you were blocked because of truly unauthorised access.
Nice to meet everybody here and thank you for all your assistance in previous post which I have used. I have hit a problem though and I don't seem to be able to find a solution (I am probably looking in the wrong place.)
I share a network with some friends of mine which I can connect to fine using windows but I have a problem with BT3, I am use the usb iso version.
The only form of security on the network is mac address filtering, when the feature is turned off I can connect with BT3 but when it is enabled I can connect to the network but the network refuses to issue me with an IP address when I use dhclient or dhcpd.
I am using a Realtek rtl8187b wifi card with modified realtek drivers posted by Johnny Cuervo which work fine without the mac filtering enabled.
Any assistance on the matter would be greatly appreciated
Many Thanks
It sounds like you either changed the MAC address of your wireless device and therefore cannot connect which you can then add new MAC address to your friend's router/AP or you are hacking and you were blocked because of truly unauthorised access.
Thanks for your suggestion however with the modified drivers it is not possible for me to change my mac address when I try the kernel gets very angry with me I get lots of error messages and the system locks up. I have not changed or modified the mac in any way and it is correctly entered into my friends router as when I boot with windows I log on to the system with no problem.
Comparing the Ipconfig /all output in windows and the ifconfig output in BT3 I get exactly the same mac address.
If you have any more constructive suggestion I would be very grateful if you would share them with me.
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
Thank you guys for your suggestions and you have helped me find the problem. Even though I have changed nothing in my mac configuration it appears that windows has changed one digit of my mac address which is why I could not log on.
Thank You

"Where can I get an old bathtub I can fill with custard?" - that is a genuine question fielded by reception staff at Sutton Council.
The odd enquiry has been revealed alongside a range of other unusual requests made to staff at reception front desks around the country.
The bathtub hunter is thought to have been taking part in a charity event involving someone bathing in custard.
The strange request was revealed alongside a range of others by the Local Government Association (LGA) in an effort to raise awareness of the work front-line council staff do.
Among the peculiar calls in the LGA's top 10 was one made to Reigate and Banstead Borough Council by a man who wanted to know the regulations on keeping a crocodile in his back garden.
The same council also took a call from someone who wanted to know how long to leave an egg under a lamp for in order for it to hatch. A caller to Surrey Council complained they had been trying to phone a library on 0900 1800 but was not getting an answer only to be told they had been dialling using the library's opening hours.
Councillor Peter Fleming, chairman of the LGA's improvement and innovation board, said: "These light-hearted examples show the wide range of issues council staff deal with each day. Councils literally have to be ready for anything from the serious to the mundane and sometimes even mind-boggling.
"Councils try to help callers with support and advice as much as they possibly can. While the vast majority of calls fall within the bounds of councils' usual responsibilities, there are occasions when call handlers are left baffled.
"The fact that councils are so often the first port of call for residents who are seeking a solution to their problems shows just how central a role councils play in the lives of their communities. While councils offer more than 800 local services, some requests really are beyond them."

For 8,000 sailors, Cowes Week means a gruelling 100 different races over eight days. The prestigious regatta, which started this weekend off the Isle of Wight, draws 80,000 spectators. And with nearly all of them hankering after rented accommodation on an island just 23 miles by 13, the week is almost as strenuous for local letting agents as it is for seafarers.
It is, therefore, little surprise that the Isle of Wight has a rather unusual property market, where sales prices lag behind the rest of southern England but lettings are booming. While the island's lower incomes and slow links to the mainland are blamed for the comparatively weak sales market, there is huge potential for renting out during the yachting season.
For modest-sized homes rent is traditionally charged during this season on a "per person per night" basis. The lettings agency Marvins (01983 811313) handles 150 houses during Cowes Week and says basic properties fetch £25 per person per night, rising to £45 for the best located homes - about three times the normal island holiday lettings charge. Typically, up to eight people from a crew may stay in a four-bedroom house - so if they each rent for all eight nights of the event, some landlords could bag £2,880.
The rewards can be even greater. When the America's Cup races took place off the island last year rental prices soared 30 per cent above even those charged for Cowes Week, and local agents say the sales market jumped because of a surge in second-home buyers. But landlords should beware: sailors are robust tenants. "In one week a house here will get the wear and tear you would expect in six months," cautions Marvins' Sharon Chambers.
The lettings market does not stop at the waterfront. Some landlords come to the island attracted by big summer rents, but then realise there is a culture of year-round renting by local people too. Some of the island's rental market is Monday-to-Friday, for those who work on the island but live elsewhere.
Nick Taylor, a director of the London estate agents John D. Wood, bought a two-bedroom apartment on a Barrett development at East Cowes last year, "to let out for major sailing events". Taylor paid £100,000 for the flat and now admits he is getting "quite extraordinary rental income" - £1,200 for Cowes Week. "As a result, I've bought a number of properties, mostly along the sea front but let out permanently to local residents. There's a strong buy-to-let market here, moving almost in the opposite direction to the rest of the UK.
"Prices of homes have historically been quite low, making it attractive for investment buyers. Capital growth is good, too - I bought a house seven months ago for £84,000 and it's now worth £120,000," Taylor says.
Investment properties are relatively cheap. Land Registry figures put a typical flat at £71,000 (compared with £98,000 in Hampshire); a semi reaches £97,900 (£140,000 in Hampshire) and detached homes reach £163,300 (compared with £247,000).
The most popular locations for renters and owners alike are, to the east, the upmarket Bembridge peninsula and the Victorian town of Ryde; and Cowes on the north coast. All are close to the ferries.
Fox estate agency is selling two period properties with investment potential: an end-of-terrace three-bedroom cottage in need of modernisation, close to Ryde town centre, for £77,500 (01983 811811); and a three-bedroom terrace house in Cowes with sea views for £89,000 (01983 292929).
You get even better value on the less popular south coast. Napoleon's Landing is a new apartment block being constructed on the seafront at Sandown. Prices range from £99,950 for a one-bedroom apartment to £295,000 for a three-bedroom penthouse on the eighth and ninth floors (from The Wright Agency, 01983 866822).
This summer's star house, and one of the most expensive ever to be sold on the island, is Egypt House. Just half a mile from the official starting cannon for Cowes Week, it is now for sale priced at £2m (Knight Frank, 01962 850333).
The 10-bedroom Grade II house dates back to the mid-18th century but was refurbished in the mid-1990s and, unusually for the island, has three acres of land.
"It's rare to get anything this large on the island. There's probably no better-known property there apart from the Royal Yacht Squadron itself. It also costs perhaps 30 per cent less than if it was on the coast across the Solent," says Knight Frank's Andrew Rome. In recent years, the owner, John Ward, has let the house to the media mogul Ted Turner and his then-wife Jane Fonda, as well as the US America's Cup yachting team.
Transport links from the island are frequent, but too slow to make daily commuting to London a possibility for any but the hardiest. Car ferries from Portsmouth, Southampton and Lymington take up to an hour. Pedestrian-only services are 23 minutes, but rail links to London add another 75 minutes. Ferry fares are expensive, too. Pedestrian season tickets cost more than £1,400, while a set of 50 return car journeys is £2,300.
The solution, of course, is to travel by yacht - although this week, mind the traffic.

Range: 91-93 Points"
Tardieu-Laurent Chateaneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes 2011
Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
The fruit is ripe, the palate is rich, fleshy and powerful, with good density. Mourvedre was hugely successful, harmonizing the blend to produce a beautifully balanced Chateauneuf du Pape.
Blend: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "A blend of 75% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and 5% Syrah from the oldest vines is the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes. It exhibits a deeper color than its two siblings along with copious notes of new saddle leather, roasted herbs, black pepper, lavender, raspberry and black cherry fruit. This medium to full-bodied 2011 should drink nicely for a decade.
International Wine Cellar - "Deep ruby. Candied dark berries, pipe tobacco, cola and licorice on the deeply perfumed nose. The palate offers lush, weighty blueberry and blackcurrant flavors that expand with air and pick up a peppery, spicy nuance. The clinging finish is firmed by youthful, chewy tannins."
Wine Spectator - "Offers a singed anise frame, with hints of wood spice and licorice root carrying the core of fleshy plum, blackberry and black currant fruit. A ganache note hangs on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2022."

Tardieu-Laurent Winery
Domaine Tardieu-Laurent was established in 1994. It is a partnership between Dominique Laurent, a former pattisier (and with the girth to go with it) and one of the hottest names in Burgundy, and Michel Tardieu, a dynamic young winemaker. Tardieu-Laurent is an extremely unusual operation in that they are a négociant only, buying young wines from growers all over the Rhône, which they mature and blend before bottling. They own no vineyards and don't buy grapes, only wine.
Tardieu-Laurent is very much an "artisan" producer, making between half a dozen and 20 or so barrels of each wine. The majority of the wines are from the southern Rhône although superb cuvees of Cote Rôtie and Hermitage are also produced. The wines are all aged in small oak casks (often 100% new) and bottled with no fining nor filtration. Michel Tardieu proclaims himself as a confirmed terroirist, insisting that his aim with each appellation is to express powerfully the fruit and sense of place, never masking these factors with wood.

About Chateauneuf-du-PapeView a map of Chateauneuf-du-Pape wineries (shah-too-NUHF due Pahp)Southern Rhone's landmark region, Chateauneuf du Pape, was the first region to gain AC status in France. That was the 1920s – it's history goes much further back than that. As the name suggests, the wine region was named after the "new papal home," referring to the period of time in the 1300's when the pope resided in Avignon instead of Rome.
Photo of galets covering the soil at Chateau de Beaucastel
Notable FactsThere are 13 allowed varieties in Chateauneuf du Pape (14 if you count Grenache Blanc separately from Grenache Noir). Grenache is the primary variety, followed by Syrah and Mourvedre as well as Cinsault. About 97% of the wines here are red, although many chateaux are producing whites ranging from quaffable to decadent and ageworthy. Reds from the best estates emit wonderful flavors of gamey spice, blackberries and currant, as well as the herbs and spices that are known to grow in the region.
Note on the soil: The grapes grow on soils covered in rounded, smooth stones called galets (gah-lay). The stones naturally cover most of the soils throughout Chateauneuf du Pape and are two fold in their duties. First, they are able to reflect and absorb the heat, to quicken the ripening of the grapes. They also help to hold in moisture so that the soils are not dried out by the hot Southern French sun.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

When I bought the Enter Tech Magic Sing Tagalog Song Chip, I became
famous with my friends. I'm famous in a sense that they always consider me
especially when there are gatherings. They would always ask me to bring
my Magic Karaoke Mic along with the Chip every time we meet. Most of
the time, they would also prefer to stay at home just to sing our
favorite Tagalog songs.
This product is really great. The songs in this chip are exceptionally
within our generation. It even helped us minimize our expenses from
going to other expensive gimmick places. Now, we enjoy singing all day
long without worrying it's getting late at night.
Well Millet, you have done it again
Well Millet, you have done it again!!! You have demonstrated exemplary customer service like nothing I have experienced before!!! I received my R&B...

Vanessa Hudgens & Her Miu Miu Vitello Lux Purse
|By: Erin D.
Why let a nude photo scandal keep you down when you can get a photo op with your hot designer handbag? Vanessa Hudgens of "High School Musical" fame may have questionable judgment when it comes to cameras, but she definitely knows a good purse when she sees one. Her Miu Miu Vitello Lux Satchel in soft gray leather is a roomy, slouchy-chic (emphasis on chic) purse that's totally casual-cool. It's nice to see a teen star bypassing disposable, youthful trends in favor of something more mature and sophisticated, even though the bag looks like it might be a wee too big for Vanessa's tiny frame. Photo from People.com. The Miu Miu Vitello Lux Satchel is $1,150 at Saks Fifth Avenue

A floating carbon price could be deferred indefinitely, depending on the state of the international carbon market and climate change negotiations, its potential impact on the Australian economy and households and what other countries are doing.
Under the scheme announced yesterday, a fixed price on carbon would exist for the first three to five years of the scheme, increasing annually at a fixed rate each year. While the agreement between the Greens, the independent MPs and the government states it is "the clear intent" for the scheme to convert to a flexible price emissions trading scheme, a review would occur 12 months before the scheduled start to decide whether it should be deferred. This review would set a target for emissions reductions by 2020, unless there was a deferral.
"We intend going to emissions trading but we think it prudent that 12 months out from the commencement of emissions trading . . . we have a look at the state of the international carbon market, we look at issues in the economies of our trading partners and the extent to which carbon pricing is taking place," Climate Change Minister
"Obviously that is relevant for the competitiveness in our economy. If there are sound reasons once we have had a look at all of that we have kept the capacity to defer the commencement of emission trading and keep a fixed price approach."
Under the scheme, during the fixed price period, those covered by the scheme will not be able to buy carbon credits from other countries to meet domestic liabilities. But no decision has been made about whether international credits could be purchased and used to hedge against price rises under a market-based system.
The agreed mechanism reflects the scheme first proposed by
The initial fixed price and the annual rate at which it increased are yet to be agreed by the Multi-Party Climate Change Committee. But Mr Combet said a decision would take into account international carbon markets and ensuring a smooth transition to a floating price.
"Obviously we want to mitigate the potential for a major price movement once we move from a fixed to a floating price," Mr Combet said.
"Business will look at the futures market for the period they expect there to be international linking and start to make price projections on that basis. And we will be mindful of that – the futures market – when we are setting the initial fixed price."
Greens deputy leader
As yet no mechanism has been agreed by the climate change committee about how the decision to transition to a floating price and setting of the emissions reduction target would occur; whether it is a decision by Parliament or the government.
But Mr Combet said: "I would anticipate that the government of the day would articulate what its obligations internationally are, what its unconditional target may be and set the target at that point of time. "We would also have three years at least experience of the economy responding to a price signal under the fixed price, all the information about the extent of abatement that has been achieved . . . and how we are tracking to meet at least our unconditional 5 per cent cut to 2020 and be informed by all of that." Origin executive general manager corporate affairs Carl McCamish said the fact that the default position was that it would transition to a floating price was positive. However, "the switch to transition is one of the issues that needs to be resolved", he said.
