I thought it's caused by DNS Changing virus, so I tried to configure static DNS setting in my network connection's properties. It didn't help. I tried to flush my DNS cach using the command IPCONFIG/FlushDNS, it didn't help either.
The next step, I tried to scan the PC with MalwareBytes and Symantec EndPoint. Those applications only found some bad cookies. They couldn't help me to resolve the problem.
I even tried to configure the PC to point to my internal proxy server, but it looks like the connection was not established, even to the proxy server. It sounds like a Windows problem, not a virus problem. Usually, when the computer is infected with virus, you still can use a local proxy server to access legitimate websites such as microsoft.com or virustotal.com.
Finally, I looked around the internet and found this solution from a user named Pahari, his method helped to me resolve the problem.
Open CMD and type the following command
Even the command asked me to restart my PC, I didn't, but it works. My Internet Explorer could load websites again.

Aug 30, 2007"Message of a disciple" This book is the discoveries of a man who has one intent: to display the root causes of social dismay and disarray in his country as well as a few nations in Western Africa and a good, logical, common-sense based plan to remedy the problems facing African nations today. I enjoyed what I've read and hope to hear more from this future African leader.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Tarpon Springs started hitting almost as soon as it got off the bus Thursday night in the Class 6A, District 10 final against Land O'Lakes at River Ridge.
The Spongers pounded out 12 hits against three pitchers in a 7-1 win.
Caleb Koulianos, Brenden Overton, Marco Karay and Kyle Johnson each had multi-hit games to lead Tarpon Springs. Pitcher Anthony Bariso held Land O'Lakes to two hits, both in the first inning, and struck out six.
"It's nice to win the district championship, it really is," Tarpon Springs coach Dickie Hart said. "But what we really want is another trophy with different writing on it."
The Spongers gave up a run in the first inning when an Alex Reynolds groundout scored Patrick Soril from third base with one out. They tied the score in the bottom of the first on a Tommy Grill groundout that scored David Miklavcic.
Bariso settled down after the shaky first and his teammates' bats remained hot. Tarpon Springs loaded the bases on three straight singles, and Shane Ludlow followed with a single that scored Overton.
An error on a Miklavcic groundball plated another run. Two outs later, Koulianos came up with the big blow when he hit a two-run double that made the score 6-1. Leftfielder Connor Stephens was knocked out of the game when he cut his chin trying to make the catch against the fence.
"It was huge that we got those runs in the second," Bariso said. "It calmed me down a lot."
Ryan Wall started for the Gators but was removed with two outs in the second. Phillip Borroni and Jake Rawls pitched the rest of the way for Land O'Lakes (18-9).
The Gators did put a runner on third base in the third inning but couldn't score. They did not get a runner past second after the inning.
"When you only get two hits you're not going to win the game," Gators coach Calvin Baisley said. "That's a good team over there. They've got pitching and they can hit. We didn't lose this game, they just beat us."
2A-9: Canterbury tripped up by archrival
ST. PETERSBURG — Canterbury has done some impressive things this season. The Crusaders won 15 games and earned the No. 1 seed in Class 2A, District 9.
But they cannot beat Sarasota Christian in the postseason.
Since 2006, the Blazers have knocked Canterbury out of the playoffs four times, including last season in the region quarterfinals.
The teams are now in the same district and assured of making the playoffs. So Thursday's championship game was more to establish homefield advantage.
Still, it was frustrating for the Crusaders to fall 7-4 to their biggest nemesis.
Even tougher was that Canterbury was done in by one bad inning.
With the game scoreless heading into the third, Sarasota Christian broke open the game by scoring five runs. The first came off a ball that ricocheted off first base. Canterbury committed two more errors after that.
"It was really just one inning where we had a bad hop and booted the ball around a bit," Crusaders coach Dave Smith said. "Take away that and we probably win the game."
Canterbury (17-11) responded by scoring three in the bottom of the third but could not get any closer. The Crusaders had trouble adjusting to Blazers starter Zack Quillan, who allowed four hits, all singles.
DaSean Thomas had one of Canterbury's four hits and scored once. Harrison Hall, who took the loss, allowed nine hits.
"Their pitcher did a good job keeping us off balance and staying ahead in the count," Smith said. "We hung around, but we just couldn't get the big hit with runners in scoring position the rest of the game."
The Crusaders have to travel in the region tournament and could meet Sarasota Christian in the region semifinals. The Blazers have won two of three against Canterbury this season.
"I fully expect to see each other again," Smith said. "We were both already in the playoffs, so there wasn't a whole lot at stake in this one. The next one will mean a whole lot more if we can get that far."
8A-8: Back-to-back titles for East Lake
East Lake's Nate Montano scattered four hits over five innings and Tyler Neuhaus had three hits to help lead the Eagles to a 6-1 win over Sarasota Riverview. East Lake won consecutive district championships for the first time.
Tyler Ramsey pitched two scoreless innings to close out the game. Keegan Maronpot and Justin DiSanto each had two hits, and Matt Reker made two big defensive plays at second base to stop Riverview rallies.
"Our pitching was outstanding," Eagles coach Dan Genna said. "They were as good as it gets. And we're hitting the ball much better."
East Lake will play at home Thursday in the region quarterfinals.

Richards, 42, is a part-time tutor at the Byam Shaw School of Art, London, and has his own studio in Bow.
He says: "International and national opens are the only available showcases for artists who are not represented by galleries. But reluctance by gallery owners and curators to recognise their importance perpetuates the incestuous dominance of commercial over cultural values. This is short-termism - as history will prove".
The paradox of references triggered by his Full Circle, with strips of beech wood upholstered on top with black studded vinyl, not unlike a giant computer mouse, gave one of the five Osaka judges a sleepless night. Yaguchi Kunio, chief curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, admitted to Richards: "At first, I thought it was a piece of Swedish furniture and rejected it. But that night I could not get it out of my mind and could not sleep. I looked at it again and had to accept it."
Richards says: "I enjoy perversity and humour. That is the point of access to my sculptures. They all have the feeling that they could be furniture, that they could exist in a domestic setting - and they all have to do with the way we want to possess things. I come from a poor background; we did not have a computer, but we did have furniture."
His prize money of pounds 22,000 has been used, in accordance with the tradition in Osaka, to purchase his sculpture, which is now in the permanent collection of Osaka's Contemporary Art and Culture Centre.
Richards' other sculptures include the 7ft-long Rocker, in wood and ceramic tiles, resembling an outsize electrical switch, and the 8ft-long Prototype 02, in wood and fibreglass, which could be mistaken for a not very handy TV remote. Prices from pounds 2,000.

Adriana Caselotti (May 6, 1916 – January 18, 1997)[1] was an American voice actress and singer. Caselotti was the voice of the title character of the first Walt Disney animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, for which she was named as a Disney Legend in 1994, making her the first female voice actor so named.
Early life[edit]
Adriana Caselotti was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut to an Italian American family. Her father, Guido Caselotti (1884-1978),[2] was an immigrant from Udine, and worked as a teacher of music and a vocal coach. Her mother, Maria Orefice (1893-1961), from Naples, was a singer in the Royal Opera Theatre of Rome. Her older sister, Louise, sang opera and gave voice lessons (for example, to Maria Callas, from 1946 to 1947). When Caselotti was seven years old, her family left Connecticut for Italy while her mother toured with an opera company. Caselotti was educated at an Italian convent, San Getulio, near Rome, while her mother performed in the opera. When her family returned to New York three years later, Caselotti relearned English and studied singing with her father.
In 1935, after a brief stint as a chorus girl at MGM, Walt Disney hired Caselotti as the voice of his heroine Snow White. She was paid a total of $970 for working on the film (equivalent to $16,160 in 2016).[3] She was under contract with Disney, and Disney prevented her from appearing in further film and other media, even for Disney, after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.[4] Jack Benny specifically mentioned that he had asked Disney for permission to use her on his radio show and was told, "I'm sorry, but that voice can't be used anywhere. I don't want to spoil the illusion of Snow White."[5] The only other work Caselotti did following her premiere was an uncredited role in MGM's The Wizard of Oz (1939); she provided the voice of Juliet during the Tin Man's song, "If I Only Had a Heart", speaking the line, "Wherefore art thou Romeo?"[1] In 1946, she had an uncredited role in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, singing in Martini's bar as James Stewart was praying.
Adriana Caselotti appeared in several promotional spots for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, signing memorabilia. On November 22, 1972 (Thanksgiving Day), she guest-starred on an episode of The Julie Andrews Hour saluting the music of Walt Disney, singing "I'm Wishing" and "Someday My Prince Will Come" with Julie Andrews.[6] She also made a guest appearance on the syndicated The Mike Douglas Show. Caselotti later wrote a how-to book, Do You Like to Sing?.[7]
Later in life, she sold autographs and also made an attempt at an opera career (for example, Rigoletto). In the early 1990s, when the Snow White Grotto at Disneyland was refurbished, Caselotti re-recorded "I'm Wishing" for the Snow White Wishing Well at the age of 75. In 1994, she was named a Disney Legend.[7]
Personal life and death[edit]
Caselotti was married four times. Her first husband was Robert Chard, a local theater ticket broker[8] whom she married in 1945. The marriage ended in divorce. She later met bit actor Norval Mitchell, whom she married in 1952. He retired after marrying her, and died in 1972. The same year, she was married to a podiatrist, Dr. Joseph Dana Costigan,[9] who later died in 1982. Caselotti married her last husband, Florian St. Pierre, a retired postal employee, in 1989 and later divorced.[1] On January 18, 1997, Caselotti died of respiratory failure from lung cancer at her Los Angeles home.[3] She was cremated and her ashes were scattered at Newport Beach, California.

The article "Treasury targets super tax breaks" (AFR, November 29) points out the inadequacy of the compulsory super system.
It was originally poorly designed by former prime ministers
The Australian government provides a financial safety net for any person above a certain age who meets some other qualifying factors, in the form of the basic age pension. It means tests this for both income and assets.
Yet it provides very generous tax concessions for people of considerable assets or income, concessions which now equal the cost of the age pension.
Would it not be more sensible and fairer for the government to abolish the means test of the age pension and abolish the tax concessions for super? As mentioned in the Select Committee on Superannuation report of 2003, Australia is the only OECD country which has a means test for the basic pension, and that is mean.

The Kevin Bacon of the Nineteenth Century?
Robert Haywood Morrison Associate Professor of History Suzanne Cooper Guasco takes on antislavery activist Edward Coles in a new biography that traces his connections and influence.
You may not have heard of him, but Dr. Suzanne Cooper Guasco likes to joke that antislavery activist Edward Coles was the Kevin Bacon of 19th-century America.
Think of a famous person of the era, and Coles likely knew him, was at the same place, or did something very similar, the associate history professor says. But it wasn't only his connections to people such as neighbor Thomas Jefferson or boss James Madison that interested her.
Her newly published book, Confronting Slavery: Edward Coles and the Rise of Antislavery Politics in Nineteenth-Century America, focuses on Coles' unpopular decision to free his family's slaves, and his fight against slavery as Illinois' second governor.
What makes the work most unique though, is her focus on Coles' "anti-slavery nationalism," built on the ideas that Americans share an anti-slavery past (in Jeffersonian principles), free labor is economically productive, and emancipation of blacks should coincide with American colonization. Cooper Guasco argues in the book that Coles was someone who saw politics as "a very useful way of ending slavery."
The book is also a biography. It is, in fact, the biography she wanted to write in graduate school but didn't. She was told writing biographies was career suicide, and she did not yet have a rich enough understanding of historical context to do biography well.
Now tenured faculty at Queens, Cooper Guasco admits she may be "going up against conventional wisdom," but today she's confident enough to take the chance.
The book is "an amazing accomplishment," said Dr. Lynn Morton, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Having a book published with an academic press "is the gold standard for scholarship in history."
Writing the book gave Cooper Guasco plenty of insight to bring to the classroom. "I tell my students that studying history is a nice combination of science and art," she says. "You have to have evidence to support the conclusion you are offering," but also have to be "creative and artistic in that you are telling a story."With the Coles project now (ahem) history, the newly self-affirmed biographer must only decide whose story to tell next.

Hey guys I'm currently doing music at GSCE and am thinking about going on to do music at A level and then a uni degree in music composition. I was wondering what the differences of music and music technology are at a level and what they both entail. Any help would be appreviated

I'm currently doing AS Music and planning to carry on with it next year. I know a few people who study both Music and Music Tech, so I'll try my best to give you an overview of both.
- Music seems to be more geared towards the academic side of music - you have to do a lot of theory and you study classical and jazz pieces for the exam. For OCR Music, the weightings are 40% for performance, 30% for coursework (composition and harmony exercises) and 30% for the written exam (listening and answering questions on the works you study throughout the year)
- I don't know much about the content of Music Tech, but I've been told that it's much more geared towards the 'computer' side of music. I don't think you have to do a performance, but you do have to be able to read music for the exam. I know a major part of it is coursework, where you have to try and replicate a popular song as accurately as possible using effects etc. on the computer.
- If you're interested in doing composition at uni, I'd recommend doing Music at A-level rather than Music Tech - the theory side of Music will be essential for a composition degree, and I think the emphasis of Music Tech is more on manipulation than creation of music.
Hope this helps!

Music Tech is about using technology (mostly the computer) to create, arrange and record music. If you are into composition, it is VERY useful. At AS you replicate an existing song, learning to control computer generated sounds to make them sound like a musical performance, record an existing song to learn the skills of recording and mixing and arrange a given song in a different given style e.g. Hallelujah in Reggae style. At A2 the copying and recording tasks are extended and the third task is composing an original piece to a choice of three briefs.
My most successful students (and two of them now work in film and TV music) are the ones who did both although many University Music Dept.s don't take much notice of Music Tech.

I suppose it depends what kind of composing you want to do. If it's classical stuff you're after, go for Music which will provide you with the harmonic knowledge needed. If it's more popular stuff you're after, go for Music Tech. It should be noted though, like the previous poster has stated, that a lot of Universities frown upon Music Tech unless your course is specifically music technology based.

I'm currently doing AS Music and AS Music Technology this year (well, just about to finish them).
Music is a much wider timeline, mostly starting with classical music, and many different genres, expanding into world music. The most modern song we had to study was A Day in the Life, by the Beatles. It also focuses more on theory and performance, with some composition thrown in. I can't say much about it in general, since different exam boards do different things, but for Edexcel, in AS, you must:
- Do a performance of 5-6 minutes, all recorded in one take (it can be multiple pieces, however, with literally a second's breather in between).
- Compose a piece under 1 of 4 briefs (2 instrumental, 2 vocal) in any style, unless the question states otherwise. Typically, brief #3 (first of the vocal briefs) is the most pop-song friendly (it's what I based mine on).
The briefs this year were, broadly:
1) Compose a piece under the title 'Passing Storm'
2) Compose a set of variations
3) Compose a song based on 'parting' or 'goodbye'
4) Compose a 3-vocal-part song based on a ceremony, be it religious, social, whatever
- Sit a 2 hour exam that covers about 9 set works, about 4 instrumental and about 5 vocal. They change every year. The exam also has a section on chords and lines (harmony) and writing 4-part harmony for SATB choir.
Music Tech is much more coursework based, although there is an exam. While reading music isn't a necessity for the course, you would struggle without it. It's about using studio software creatively. Edexcel are the only board who do Music Tech, so I can confidently tell you the three tasks for AS:
- Recreate a given song using only MIDI (this year we had AMTV by Ladytron, but previously it's been Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Colourless Colour by La Roux and Shopping by The Pet Shop Boys). The song must sound as exact to the original recording as possible, taking into account effects (panning, etc...), instrument timbres, pitch and rhythm, and everything else. You are given a skeleton score to work from (that is, one that outlines basic parts and notable points in the music); however, the score is notorious for being wrong in places every year, so it's as much of an aural task as a visual task.
- Record and mix a commercially-available song of your choosing, using only live instruments (No drum machines or MIDI). Includes recording it to a click, making sure there's no background noise, and balancing.
- From 2 given songs and 2 given genres, you must pick one song and recreate it using MIDI in one genre. (this year our songs were 'A Whiter Shade of Pale' and 'Can't Get You Out of My Head', and the genres were 'Trip-Hop' and '50s Rock and Roll'. I chose to do CGYOOMH in Rock and Roll). You're given a leadsheet to work from (that is, any lead melody lines, with the names of chords given above. Unfrequently more than a page or two.)
Then there is a listening exam at the end, where you hear unfamiliar pieces and answer questions on them (however, they're all western popular songs from about the 1940s onwards - stuff that's come up before is Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi, Frozen by Madonna, Wow by Kylie Minogue and Human by The Killers). Then, you must answer 2 sections based on 2 Focus Styles you study throughout the year (ours this year were 'Punk & New Wave' and 'Club Dance', but they change every year. I think Rock and Roll is one of the two for 2013.)
Might be a bit tl;dr, but I hope you find this helpful

Hello ThatSB, do you mind possibly sending me your CYGOOMH composition so I can have a listen? I'm the only one who chose the Rock'N'Roll style in my class, and although the Trip Hop versions have been great, it'd be nice to hear someone else's Rock'N'Roll one.
I chose Rock'N'Roll because at the time, I wasn't familiar enough with Trip Hop, and Rock'N'Roll has a very 'definite' style. You just know exactly what it is, when you hear it, which is what drove me towards it. Now, I know a lot more about Trip Hop and I actually have some Massive Attack and Portishead on my iPod now.
I can send you mine if you want :P I just wanted to see what someone else's approach would be like.

Unfortunately, I don't have the file with me. Mine was basically drums, bass, guitar and brass. Swung the rhythm, sped it up and put in solos, basically.

Origin on Friday reported production of 97.2 petajoules equivalent (PJe) for the nine months to March 31, up from 73.4 PJe in the previous corresponding period.
Sales revenue for the year so far was $627.5 million.
Revenue for the March quarter of 2010-11 was also higher at $203.2 million than for the March quarter last year.
March quarter production was 21 per cent higher than for the same period of the previous year at 28.9 PJe, but down 8 per cent when compared with the December quarter of 2010-11.
Origin finance and strategy director
"The strong performance was driven by increased contributions from the Kupe Gas Project, Origin's increased interest in the Otway Gas Project and BassGas, reflecting the extended shutdown at the facility in the prior year," Ms Moses said in a statement.
"Australia Pacific LNG also made a significant contribution, delivering a 42 per cent increase in production on the prior corresponding period."

WATCH: 'SNL' takes a jab at EDM culture in digital short
"Saturday Night Live" is taking a jab at EDM and EDM Culture with a new digital short, "When Will The Bass Drop?"
The clip features a DJ by the name of "Davvincii" - whose logo is similar in fashion to Avicii's logo - and takes stabs at everything from what DJs are really doing behind the decks to the sometimes outrageous prices many fans to pay to see their favorite artists.
In the video, Davvincii is seen playing Snood on this computer, cooking eggs, taking bags of money including fans' credit cards, all while teasing to "drop the bass."
Check out what happens when Davvincii finally drops the bass:

Imagine you are driving down the winding road, miles from traffic lights, miles from the office, miles from the hassles of everyday life. As you pass through the gates of T-Lea Farm, you are entering Seventy-three acres of country paradise. NOTE: THIS IS NOT A GATED COMMUNITY! It is a private cabin nestled between the mountain on the property.
Usually there is Apple Pie with Ice Cream in the Freezers, as well as All the ingredients for S'mores to have at fire.... Adults, there is brandy on the counter for a warm fire evening.
Soothing Views from deck that wraps around the cabin overlook mountains and our pastures. The sunset is breathtaking as you prepare a meal on the grill.The horses graze while you take it all in. Serenity Awaits as you pass through our hay fields where a graveyard sits from the settlers of the 1800's. As you continue on, you will see our five-stall horse barn and pastures that hold Sterling, Silver, Sapphire, Ruby, Rizon and Scarlet, our precious horses. They love carrots and apples; you can stroll down from the cabin and visit them as often as you want.
Luxury is what you will find as you enter our three-bedroom cabin. The master guestroom is on the highest level, with a king bed, and a private restroom. The other guest rooms consist of Queen beds and a main bath on the same floor; one with a down comforter, the other with a feather bed. Cozy and comforting.
Please note that in addition to our regular rates, there is a $100 cleaning fee, a pet fee if applicable and a 14.25% TN tax
Keywords: Cabin, Motel, Hostel, Farm, Rental, Home, House,
Toby and I bought this farm as a place to go and have dreams come true. We live in Fort Lauderdale, FL and each of us operate a family owned business, Bobcat dealership and a sport fishing charter company. We love to visit our farm every few months and escape this crazy city life. We live our dream while visiting this amazing slice of heaven.
Please call me on my cell phone to schedule a visit or become a guest.
Tammi Molinet
Tammi Molinet purchased this cabin in 2004
When we visited some of the local towns of Southeast Tennessee, we were directed to Tellico Plains, where we stumbled on to this property. Once we drove through the gates, all we needed was a pen. There was no doubt that this is where we wanted to visit and share with others for many years to come.
While staying at T Lea farm, you will hear practically nothing, just some beautiful wildlife and great views. It is so serene and romantic. There are lots of mountains and trails to explore. There are streams around the property and fun to watch them flow. While sitting on the deck of the cabin, the horses will roam the pastures in front of you, watching them run is a special treat when they feel the need. There is also a cemetery from the 1800's where some of the first settlers lived.
There was everything at the cabin you would need and more. Everything was where you would think it should be. We loved being greeted and escorted out by the horses. Thank you for another memorable trip to the Mountains.
From the moment we could see "our" cabin, beautifully decorated in Christmas lights, tucked into the side of a mountain, our family screamed with excitement. As we drove up the winding driveway, with horses on both sides, we could hardly take it all in! As we entered the cabin, our children raced from top to bottom claiming their rooms. Our oldest teenager took the downstairs suite with her own bathroom. The other children divided themselves up between the two rooms on the main level and my husband and I shared the master suite upstairs. Per our welcome letter, we called Angie and she delivered us fresh eggs within minutes! We even tagged along to church with her the next morning. The peach cobbler she made for us was the best I have ever eaten! Our children loved exploring while walking on the mountain trail, just behind the cabin. My favorite part was snuggling into my blanket in front of the fireplace. My husband enjoyed the views from the front porch. The cabin was fully stocked and made preparing meals a breeze. The owners were very kind. Booking was fast and easy. We only wished we would have booked for a longer stay, we did not want to leave! This cabin far surpassed our expectations.

Thank you for another memorable trip to the Mountains.
We had the best time ever. This was my families first vacation. The house was beautiful and we never had so much fun in our lives. We relax for the the first time in a very long time. It felt like home! I have never seen anything more beautiful. Thank you beyond belief to allowing us to stay in your home for the week, We are already booking next years trip!!!!
My wife and I stayed at your lovely cabin last week and could not have enjoyed it more. Our two dogs loved the extra room to run in front of the cabin. The cabin is well stocked and is surrounded by trees and mountains so you do not want to leave. It is very peaceful and quiet but only about 15 minutes away from Tellico Plains and the Skyway. We plan on going back next year as well!
I almost forgot too mention the wonderful 4 wheeler trails that are around the property. Bring your own or rent the owners.
The log cabin was nestled on the edge of the Cherokee National Forrest. It was surrounded my majestic mountains and flowing streams. Plenty of Bedrooms with plush pillows and hand made quilted comforters. The fire pit was massive with loads of cut fire wood for our campfires. Long winding driveway for our truck and trailer. ATV rides through the logging trails to the top of the mountain provided magnificent views of the farm and surrounding country side. You can see for miles in every direction from the view at the top.
The farm was clean and well stocked. The care taker Jennifer provided fresh eggs from her roost. Toby and Tammi provided us with a full stocked fridge and mini bar all included. Plenty of towels and stocked snacks, sodas and icecream for us and our kids.
I would definately reccommend this place to my family and friends.
We loved to grill on the stainless grill on the deck and visited the Tellico Grains Bakery for delicious treats.
White water rafting was a blast too.
Thanks for sharing your slice of heaven with us. We;ll be back
My family and I stayed here for Christmas 2013 due to a recent devistating loss and we needed to be away for Christmas. The land is beautiful. The house itself was not what I expected. The cabin is very small. The downstairs couch was broken and would not pull out into a bed; therefore 2 people had to sleep on a couch and a loveseat upstairs. We also rented the 3 4-wheelers. Only 2 of them actually ran...one of them was hooked up to a battery charger when we went to get them on Christmas morning. If any family members have allergies to pet hair, be careful, this house was full of dog hair. Again, the land and horses are very beautiful, but the cabin itself was very disappointing.
Serene 73 acres for your relaxation and fun for all, great time, private and close and far enough for everything. Great place for a perfect wedding, family reunion camping, ;and bikers welcome!
Lots of museums and theme park withing a hew hours, like Ruby Falls, Dollywood, Aquariums and MORE!
Please call us at our home or my cell to make a reservation.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized and directed to immediately cause to be surveyed all of the lands embraced within the limits of the abandoned Fort Assinniboine Military Reservation, in the State of Montana.
That before said lands are opened to entry the Secretary of the Interior shall have said lands classified by an inspector or special agent of the Department of the Interior into four classes-first, agricultural lands; second, timber lands; third, coal lands; and fourth, mineral lands-and in making such classification all lands susceptible of cultivation that do not contain in excess of fifty thousand feet of merchantable timber to the forty-acre tract shall be classified as agricultural lands, and all lands containing in excess of fifty thousand feet of merchantable timber to the forty-acre tract shall be classified as timber lands.
That when so classified, all of said lands classed as agricultural land shall be opened to settlement and entry under the homestead laws of the United States, but not to entry or location under sections twenty-three hundred and six and twenty-three hundred and seven of the Revised Statutes: Provided, however, That the enlarged homestead Act, approved February nineteenth, nineteen hundred and nine, shall not apply until six months after said land has been opened to settlement and entry as aforesaid: And provided further, That any rights which may have attached to any of said lands under any of the public-land laws of the United States prior to the passage of this Act may be perfected and the lands so affected may be patented upon proof of compliance with the laws under which such rights so attached : Provided further, That lands classified as timber lands shall be disposed of under rulea and regulations to be provided by the Secretary of the Interior with the authority to dispose of the timber and land separately when deemed advisable: Provided further, That the lands classified as coal lands shall be subject to disposition under the homestead laws, as herein provided for lands classified as agricultural, but those making entry of such lands must agree to a reservation to the United States of the coal deposits therein and of the right in the United States, or those claiming through the United States, to prospect for, mine and remove the same, and such coal deposits shall be disposed of as provided by section three of the Act of June twenty-second, nineteen hundred and ten (Thirty-sixth Statutes, page five hundred and eighty-three), but no purchase of the coal deposits shall confer any right to the surface of the lands excepting such as is necessary to the mining and removal of the coal deposits: Provided further, That lands classified as mineral shall be disposed of under the mining laws.
That entrymen upon said lands shall, in addition to the regular land office fees, pay the sum of $1.25 per acre for said land, such payments to be made as follows: Twenty-five cents per acre at
Page 41
the time of making entry and 25 cents per acre each and every year thereafter until the full sum of $1.25 per acre shall have been paid: Provided, That for a period of six months subsequent to the date on which the lands are opened to settlement entrymen upon said lands shall, in addition to the regular land office fees, pay the sum of $2.50 per acre for said land, such payments to be made as follows: Fifty cents per acre at the time of making entry and 50 cents per acre each and every year thereafter until the full sum of $2.50 per acre shall have been paid. In case any entryman fails to make annual payments, or any of them when due, all right in and to the lands covered by his entry shall cease; and any payments theretofore made shall be forfeited and the entry canceled, and the land shall be again subject to entry under the provisions of the homestead law at the price fixed therefor by the former entry; but in all cases the full amount of purchase money must be paid on or before the offer of final proof. Provided, however, That the commutation provision of the general homestead law shall be applicable to all persons making homestead entry on said land under the provisions of this Act, save and excepting entries made hereunder in accordance with the provisions of the enlarged homestead Act, approved February nineteenth, nineteen hundred and nine, which shall not be subject to commutation, but in instances where commutation is permissible hereunder, the entryman shall pay, in addition to the price fixed for entry, the sum of $1.25 per acre, as consideration for the privilege.
That this Act shall not apply to an area of two thousand acres embracing the Government buildings at Fort Assinniboine.
That the Thirteenth Legislative Assembly of the State of Montana having enacted a law for the purpose of establishing an agricultural, manual training, or other educational or public institution upon the present site of Fort Assinniboine, Montana, duly approved by the governor of Montana and to be in full force and effect after the fourth day of July, nineteen hundred and thirteen, and upon the transfer to the State of Montana by the President of the United States of two thousand acres of land, situate in said abandoned Fort Assinniboine Reservation and embracing the military buildings at said abandoned fort, except the guardhouse at said post; the President of the United States is hereby authorized and directed to transfer, grant, and set over to the State of Montana all right, title, and interest of, in, and to the said two thousand acres of land hereby reserved, embracing the buildings at Fort Assinniboine, except the guardhouse at said post, upon payment therefor by the State of Montana to the United States of the sum of $2.50 per acre: Provided, That the State of Montana shall be required to make its selection of two thousand acres within one year from the date of the passage of this Act.
That sections sixteen and thirty-six of the land in each township within said abandoned Fort Assinniboine Military Reservation, except those portions thereof classified as coal or mineral lands, shall be reserved for the use of the common schools of the State of Montana, and are hereby granted to the State of Montana: Provided, That the State may, if it so elects within one year from the date of the passage of this Act, accept subject to the reservation in the United States of the coal deposits therein the portion of said sections sixteen and thirty-six classified as coal lands, in full satisfaction of the grant herein made for common schools: Provided, That for all lands lost to the State because classified as coal or mineral indemnity may be taken as provided for in sections twenty-two hundred and seventy-five and twenty-two hundred and seventy-six of the Revised Statutes: And provided, That there is hereby reserved for homestead entry by Mary A. Herron, or her heirs, subject to the
Page 42
terms of this Act, the following described land upon said reservations: Northwest quarter of northeast quarter of section twenty-eight; west half of southeast quarter, northeast quarter of southeast quarter, section twenty-one, township thirty-two, range fifteen east: Provided, further, That in case of failure of Mary A.

Herron and her heirs.
That the lands shall be opened to settlement and entry by proclamation of the President, which proclamation shall prescribe the manner in which the lands may be settled upon, occupied, and entered by persons entitled to make entry thereon; and no person shall be permitted to settle upon, occupy, or enter any of said land except as prescribed in said proclamation.
That there is hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $20,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, for the survey and classification of said lands and for the expenses incident to their opening to settlement and entry, and for the care of said buildings.

Task force to scrutinize tax-exempt nonprofits
Pittsburgh has recruited 33 people to serve on a task force that will decide whether tax-exempt charities are paying their fair share for city services.
"Hopefully, they'll come up with a formula that's fair and understandable for everybody," said Dana Yealy, who chairs Pittsburgh's Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority, one of the city's two state-appointed financial overseers.
Assistant Finance Director Cathy Qureshi picked task force members, selecting representatives from the city's neighborhoods, nonprofit organizations, corporate community and other sectors such as the mayor's office and City Council. She said the first public meeting will be this month.
The ICA approved Pittsburgh's 2013 budget under the condition that the city assemble the task force to determine how much in voluntary contributions it should receive from nonprofits each year.
The problem is nonprofits such as UPMC and the University of Pittsburgh aren't obligated to give the city anything, although the mayor's office credits them with driving Pittsburgh's "meds and eds" economy. Rich Stanizzo, business manager for the Pittsburgh Regional Building Trades Council, who confirmed he is a member of the task force, said he believes contributions will come only through forceful means.
He said the task force should determine how much property charities own and then lobby Harrisburg for a change in law that would allow cities to somehow extract money from them.
"I think no matter what (we) come up with, it has to be done legislatively," he said.
City officials have complained for years that tax-exempt institutions, which include government entities, occupy about 40 percent of city real estate but contribute little monetarily for services. Charities make voluntary contributions known as payments in lieu of taxes through an umbrella group, the Pittsburgh Public Service Fund. The group is expected to contribute $5.2 million total in 2012 and 2013. The city's budget this year is about $470 million.
Yealy said he hopes the task force will offer a forum for all sides and use their views to develop a fair and defined formula for nonprofits' contributions. He believes they would rather cooperate than have government challenge their tax-exempt status. If they don't cooperate, he said, the city can "let the enforcement people get more aggressive and go that way."
Reynolds Clark, who chairs the Service Fund's board, said the group's members contribute greatly to quality of life in the Pittsburgh region and hope to highlight that for the task force. He said he hopes the task force determines how much property charities own in Pittsburgh. Clark thinks it's much less than 40 percent.
"I think a lot of this is developing partnerships and understandings, and an understanding that it's a two-way street," he said.
Council president Darlene Harris confirmed that she, councilman Ricky Burgess and council budget director Bill Urbanic are members of the task force. Qureshi confirmed that Nick Lyons, who works in the city's finance department, belongs. She refused to divulge other members' names until releasing the full list to the task force first.

We caught a bunch of shows in Austin in March, none more rawkus then the Small Stone Records showcase, which brought some power rock that would match anything from the early 70's.
Check out this live performance by Austin's own Dixie Witch. Dixie Witch is, and has always been, a band whose true majesty can only be grasped in the live setting. For whatever reason, the band's brand of classic, power-trio, heavy rock seems to spring into a further dimension when the three members step onto a stage.

text: When the Dallas Cowboys traded down in April's NFL draft and selected center Travis Frederick from Wisconsin, they did so for two reasons. The first being the hole at center that has handicapped the team for some years. But the second reason why the Cowboys decided to draft a center in the first round is because of the relatively safety of the position. First round centers have a very low bust rate in the NFL. In the last eight NFL Drafts, there have only been six centers drafted in the first round. But those six players are as followed: 2006 – New York Jets' Nick Mangold – 29th overall selection 2009 – Cleveland Browns' Alex Mack – 21st overall selection 2009 – Buffalo Bills' Eric Wood – 28th overall selection 2010 - Pittsburgh Steelers' Maurkice Pouncey – 18th overall selection 2011 – Miami Dolphins' Mike Pouncey – 15th overall selection 2013- Dallas Cowboys' Travis Frederick – 31st overall selection The first five on that list have all been productive, solid players in the NFL. None of them have busted. Nick Mangold and Maurkice Pouncey have both been All-Pro players, while Alex Mack and Mike Pouncey have both made it to the Pro Bowl. So does this mean that Travis Frederick will have an All-Pro career like these other centers? No. But what it does mean is that highly thought of centers like Frederick seem to fare well in the NFL. There is a sense that in the NFL community that drafting a center in the first round is a "safe" decision. And with the amount of early round picks that haven't panned out for Dallas (Felix Jones, Mike Jenkins, Bobby Carpenter, Martellus Bennett, etc) the team decided to swing for a double instead of a home run. Too often teams decide to "swing for the fences" in the draft by selecting players with enormous upside instead of solid, unspectacular football players. Far too often the Cowboys are guilty of doing this. Read the rest at: http://thelandryhat.com/2013/08/18/scouting-report-dallas-cowboys-travis-frederick/

From Santa AnitaDean Kutz is the winner of the 2001 George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award. Kutz becomes the 52nd winner of the award that has been presented annually since 1950 and honors the memory of one of the greatest Thoroughbred jockeys in history. Kutz, 44, will receive the award in a winner's circle ceremony on Sunday, March 25.A native of Harvey, N.D., Kutz has won 2,773 races from 21,354 mounts for $32,552,529 in earnings. He was born with only one kidney (which failed in 1984) and underwent a transplant procedure that year, receiving a kidney donated by his sister. Kutz resumed riding in 1985 and had a career year in 1998, as he earned the Turfway Park winter/spring riding title with 62 wins for earnings of $1,501,363. The Woolf Award honors riders whose careers and personal character reflect positively on themselves and the sport of Thoroughbred racing and is prized as one of racing's most prestigious accolades. Since 1985, jockeys nationwide have voted to determine the winner.Kutz was nominated for the Woolf Award along with riders Anthony Black, David Flores and Edgar Prado by the Jockeys' Guild and Santa Anita Park."I'm thrilled to have been voted as the Woolf Award winner by my fellow jockeys," said Kutz from his farm in Versailles, Ky., where he resides with fiancé Nancy Baker. "To be recognized by my peers like this is truly an honor.
"It's been a tough couple of years but I'm hopeful to return to riding again soon," Kutz said through his mechanical voicebox, adding, "I'm too young to quit."Kutz underwent surgery in March of 1999 to remove a cancerous tumor in his throat and lost his larynx during the procedure. Woolf died as a result of the running of the fourth race at Santa Anita on Jan. 3, 1946. Known as "The Iceman," Woolf fell off W.W.

The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) moved to reassure pupils after it emerged that the pass mark for the Higher would be lowered.
An SQA spokesman said the level at which a pass grade could be achieved had been lowered but only because this year's exam was harder.
He rejected newspaper reports which said the SQA was facing its worst crisis since the results fiasco of 2000.
The spokesman said: "We are trying to achieve consistency but clearly it's a very complicated thing to do."
'Not easier'
The oral test and the folio of writing have been cut from the Higher amid concerns of excessive workloads.
The spokesman conceded that some observers might assume exam chiefs were making it easier to pass the Higher.
"That's an easy conclusion to draw but it's wrong because the exams are not easier and the level of attainment is the same this year as last year," he said.
Pass rates for students taking Higher exams dropped by more than two percentage points in 2002.

St. Francis Borgia Regional High School has developed a new five-year strategic plan.
The comprehensive plan will guide the Catholic co-ed high school through the year 2017.
Some key elements in the plan call for transitioning the school board from an advisory board to a governing board and enhancing facilities, specifically building a multipurpose and upgrading the existing gym.
School President George Wingbermuehle said restructuring the school board is a push of the Archdiocese, but it's a move he supports.
"I think it makes sense," he said, especially because it will give officials more direction, and include representation in all areas of the Borgia community.
The board would have reps from specific regions and members would be elected.
Wingbermuehle said the plans calls for the new board to be in place by August 2013, but he said that may be a little ambitious.
Construction of a new multipurpose building is not a new idea, the president said.
"When we built our new athletic complex, the multipurpose building was phase two of that project," he explained.
The strategic plan calls for a cost analysis for the proposed new building and enhancements to the current gym, as well as a feasibility study to determine the level of support for these projects.
"Our gym is in high demand with us being a co-ed school with many sports teams, plus dance, cheer, drum line, flag corps and other groups needing space," Wingbermuehle said.
Other goals in the plan include increasing enrollment from Borgia's partner schools and PSR students through visits to the high school, surveys and other programs, and maximizing the availability of tuition assistance.
Wingbermuehle said Borgia is very fortunate to have a strong athletic association, a healthy endowment fund and support from other organizations. He estimates the athletic association alone provides about $200,000 to $250,000 in support each year.
"We don't have to put money toward our athletics which allows us to keep our costs down," he said. "We've also been averaging about $100,000 from the endowment fund. All of this helps with the bottom line."
The top two objectives in the strategic plan are to increase evangelization and Catholic identity within the community and the continued pursuit of academic excellence.
"We want our students to be strong Catholics and service-oriented," Wingber-muehle said.
The plan calls for increasing facilty knowledge of the teachings of the Catholic church and continued fostering of faith development with students.
Curriculum upgrades also are planned to match the state common core standards.
"We are strong academically, but you can always improve and that's what we want to do," said Wingbermuehle, who feels the switch to all students and staff being on iPads next year will only enhance learning.
How the Plan Was Developed
Work on the plan began in the fall of 2011 at the direction of Wingbermuehle.
Volunteers were sought for the committee, he said, and a faculty representative from each deanery also was identified.
At the first meeting, the team began discussing, in general, the major areas that Borgia needed to address over the next five years.
A subteam was established for each of these areas, and members were assigned dbased upon their responsibilities and/or interests.
Teams were charged with developing specific goals for their assigned area, along with establishing measurable and achievable supporting objectives.
In addition, the subteams were asked to provide strategic actions that outline specific steps toward accomplishing the objective and identifying target completion dates and responsible persons.
Wingbermuehle said the final version of the strategic plan was approved by the administration and the full strategic plan team in March.
"It was then forwarded for approval by all members of our faculty and by the advisory board at their meetings April 18," he said.
"This final Strategic Plan is the result of a collaborative effort of the team members representing core leadership groups and community stakeholders of St. Francis Borgia Regional High School," he said. "Going forward, Borgia's administration, in collaboration with the school board, will be responsible for implementing and revising this plan."

Text me the bad news
Students would prefer to receive their exam results in the form of a text message on their mobile phone, claims a survey.
The poll, published by mobile phone company Orange, says that teenagers would rather get the news straight onto their phone, rather than depend on the postman.
This would allow them to get their results while on holiday and would not mean having to come back to open the ominous brown envelopes.
Text messaging has already been used to help students to revise for GCSEs this year, in a scheme run by Knowsley local authority.
And in anti-truancy drives in London and Leicester, parents have been sent text messages if their children are missing from school.
Sending text messages has become the favoured means of communication for many teenagers, with its rise accompanying the rapid spread in mobile phone ownership.
The increase in use of mobile phones by young people has also brought another type of exchange - in the form of customised ring tones, based on pop songs or a television theme.
But anyone who has suffered from teenagers' "amusing" ring tones might take pleasure from the development of software designed to block the downloading of ring tones.
Educational computer company, Research Machines, has developed a filter that stops school computers being used by pupils to download ring tones.

1 April 1991
2,000 words
A panel of medical writers explained how pharmaceutical companies pay them $300 to $700 a day ghostwriting articles bylined by doctors and published in "throwaway" medical publications.
They also explained how they did it, and how they broke in, with nothing more than intelligence, writing skill, and the ability to understand scientific subjects, but without scientific degrees.
One effective strategy is to start out by writing freelance journalism for the low-paid tabloids, use that to get expertise on pharmaceutical subjects, and use your clips to market yourself to the PR agencies.
Larry Husten, Laurie Lewis, and Joan Reisman comprised the panel, "Ghost Writers in the Sky, or Salvation through Writing for Docs," moderated by Walter Alexander, on 15 January 1991 at the Medical Writers Affinity Group of the Editorial Freelancers Association.
A typical job, explained Husten, would be 2,000 words on the topic of "How to choose a thrombolytic agent" for a publication like Primary Cardiology, Family Practice, Diagnosis, or Cardio. It would be based on 20 to 25 references, and a half-hour phone interview with the doctor bylining the article. It might or might not include citations. The writer might or might not be responsible for the library research or the figures and charts. It would take a week and pay typically $2,000, with a range of $1,200-2,500.
"I pride myself on being expensive," said Reisman, who charges $700 a day--a top rate. Reisman can get it because she has contacts and experience from major PR firms, and a specialty in cardiology drugs. Others charge $60-75 an hour.
But Lewis is a bargain at $40-50 an hour. And when she works for a doctor, rather than for a PR agency or pharmaceutical house, she might charge as little as $30 an hour.
The rates are high, and the market is strong. The panel passed around a Wall Street Journal story, "Budget Cuts at Agencies Mean Free-Lancers Face Lean Times," by Joann S. Lublin, Jan. 2, 1991. "That hasn't been my experience," said one writer. "Nor mine," said another. Freelancers in fields like business and finance do report slacking demand, however.
What's the catch? The ethical problems that come up when the pharmaceutical company insists that you slant the article to favor their product. Can you follow your conscience--nullius in verba, as they say? The writers who do this work say that they can usually convince the client that a more objective article would have more credibility. But some journalists said that they avoid PR, because they would have to compromise too much.
Husten stumbled into medical publishing 8 years ago as a freelance proofreader. He got his experience writing news stories for low-paid medical tabloids like the McMahon Group, which pay about $100 for a quick rewrite of a medical journal article and an interview with the doctor.
Like many of these writers, Husten broke into this work by direct mail marketing. He had friends who knew key people in PR agencies, and sent out an initial mailing of 50-60 letters. Most of them didn't respond. "I only got one or two replies--but they were great clients," he said.
Alexander got 25 names from O'Dwyer's PR Directory in the library, with similar results.
Reisman described how she worked. "I almost never have any contact with the doctor," she said. "They provide me with a pile of data so I don't have to do any research. They tell me what points they want to make in the article." She takes the data home and translates it into an article.
"I don't understand much of the statistics," said Lewis, "but I do know what's important and what I need to question." Sometimes she will prepare tables for review and completion by the statistician.
A review article, said Alexander, would involve reading 30 or 40 journal articles, and coming up with a point of view to suggest to the doctor. "Many of these review articles are pasteups of other articles," he noted. "There's about one new article a year," said Husten.
"You have to know your target publication," said Lewis. For example, requirements differ for footnotes. "If you're doing an 8-page newsletter, you don't have the room. But if you're writing an article which is called a review article, you'd better reference everything." And if you have contact with the author, find out what the author is comfortable with, she said.
Dealing with the doc. Dealing with the doctor is an important skill. "If you do an article for American Health, they take it or not, and it's a very simple relationship," said Husten. "Here, you have to deal with the doctor, the publication, and the pharmaceutical company that hired you. You have to balance all that and make them happy. And know that you can live with it."
Doctors will often spend lots of time with journalists, but PR jobs are different. "Very often they're being done this way because the doctor doesn't want to spend the time," said Reisman. "So if you come up with hours of interviews and thousands of questions the doctor is likely to come back and say, 'You people are driving me crazy and I don't want to deal with you any more.'" Often a tape recorder is appropriate.
Another problem is doctors who can't admit that they can't write. There is the doctor who was "frightened by his 8th grade English teacher who told him that every noun has to have 3 adjectives," said Lewis. These issues can be negotiated. "But if they insist on keeping control, just give them control."
Richard Bergman suggested a solution from the audience. "If the doctor insists on doing it all himself, I say, 'Fine, send it in. When will you send it to me?'" He can hear them flipping through their calendars over the phone, and when they realize how much work it is, they give in.
"I never let not knowing the material stop me," said Reisman. More important is cutting through to the essential points that the agency is trying to get across.
"After a while you get to be very efficient with learning the code," said Bergman. "Every topic has an inherent logic, and you have to find it."
Doctors respect you when you've at least learned the basic terminology, said Alexander. You can get around being ignorant, but you can't get away with refusing to admit your ignorance. Husten's humble approach is, "You know I'm not a doctor."
"You also have to know when to cut bait," said Bergman. "When a doctor is truly impossible to work with. "
Work is bid on a project basis. "You have got to be able to estimate," said Husten. Most people estimate by comparing the proposed job to work they've done in the past.
"There is the possibility of suffering," and the possibility of doing very well, said Husten. A friend took a job for $2,000, thinking it would take a week, "and it winds up taking them a month, and they're crying."
"I have earned as much as $100 an hour on a project rate," said Lewis. However, one job several years ago worked out to only $16 an hour.
"I tell them it's going to cost them so much based on $700 a day," said Reisman. "If I can do it in a quarter of the time, I'm going to dance around my living room." A lot of times she does the work in half her estimated time, but it doesn't matter to the client. Like many writers who work on a project basis, Reisman argues that she works faster than other people, and the benefit of her efficiency should accrue to the writer, not to the client. "However, sometimes it takes me twice as long as my estimate, and then I use that as a hard lesson for pricing future jobs," she said.
In the standard arrangement, Reisman offers one revision of her work. "Revision" means revising it to the original specifications. If the client decides he wants it done another way, that's a new job, not a revision. The revision has to be done "within a short time after I turn it in," said Reisman. It's much more difficult to revise something 6 months after you've finished the job and forgotten it.
Bergman himself had just done that. He asked the panel for an estimate: A monograph, 16 printed pages, from a verbatim transcript of a presentation and photocopies of the slides, with responsibility for verifying every reference in every article.
$10,000, the panel agreed. "It's a huge project," said Husten, although he found it very easy to work from a meeting presentation with slides.
Generally, you can work faster, and make more money, in a field that you've covered before, but there are times when a writer will take on a job that will pay less. Alexander noted that he just took on a project involving arterial wall metabolism. He had to invest more time into it, because he wasn't familiar with it, but this is where the research is going, and he gambled that he would be positioning himself well in the long run.
Ghosting directly for doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, for scholarly articles, theses and books, is much more pleasant, most people agreed, but it pays less, and there is less work. Doctors are often shocked at pharmaceutical company rates, and $30-$50 is about as much as they are willing to pay.
nullius addictus iurare in verba magistri,
quo me cumque rapit tempestas, deferor hospes
(Epistles I.i 14-15)
(My words are not owned by any master,
where the winds [of reason] lead me, there I find home.)
By this they mean that writers should be free to follow the scientific evidence and state the truth. Is it possible to write PR and still write nullius in verba? Opinions differ. What do you do if the client wants you to slant the truth?
Alexander recently found himself with a PR agency that wanted him to write a piece in a way that would claim advantages for their drug that it didn't have. He knew from his reporting that the bylined doctor wouldn't go along with it, so he persuaded the agency to make the article more balanced. Generally, though, the PR agency knows what the doctors are going to say before they get them to write the article.
Another writer described a job interview she had with a PR firm. "You come from a reporter background," the interviewer said.
"She kept hinting, but I made her come out and say it," said the writer. Finally the interviewer came out and said it: "Would you mind highlighting the favorable opinion?" The writer did mind, and didn't take the job.

Two University of Utah researchers have discovered proof that I'm supposed to look the way I do. So do my friends. And probably you as well.
Check out the photo of an early human guy. It looks a little like Sonny, a lot like me, and is almost identical to Killer.
David Carrier and Michael Morgan studied ancient skulls of hominins (like hobbits but way older) and found that their blunt features developed through violence.
According to a paper they wrote - which I haven't read - I got the appearance I have thanks to a million years of my ancestors being punched in the face. Who knew our family problem went that far back?
This paper quoted Carrier saying, "Turns out when humans fight, the primary target is the face."
Correspondingly, human faces became more robust from being treated like an anvil. Our foreheads and the bones around our noses got thicker, and so did our jaws.
Not everyone agrees with Carrier and Morgan, including many Christians who don't even believe in evolution.
Christian women say God created Adam, who instantly looked exactly like Brad Pitt wearing a few strategically placed leaves, a nice smile, and a soulful look.
Meanwhile, Christian men believe Eve looked like any stark naked female hominin.
But even other scientists don't agree about early human beings as accomplished face breakers. For one thing, beer hadn't been invented yet. Neither had sports, politics, or any other chest bumping behavior.
Finally, I don't agree entirely with the hammer face research either. I don't have the level of education of Carrier and Morgan, but I am a guy.
Every guy knows that a handy secondary target prominently resides a lot lower on the anatomy, is immediately available, and hasn't developed one single bit of natural protection in a billion years.
Why haven't we learned to retract this target in potentially violent situations? A turtle can do it. Why can't human males close up shop, so to speak when things get tense?
Never mind. Let's stick to actual science, or the seeming lack thereof.
If the human head had evolved according to a millennia of target selection, the back of the male skull would be five inches thick and constructed of a naturally occurring titanium. And maybe with an eye in the middle of it.
It's general knowledge that virtually everything the human male required in order to be domesticated he learned through the back of his head courtesy of the little woman.
I descended through several million other males, during which at some point they were trained to eat with cutlery, wipe their feet before coming inside, and not eat any of the children.
Being male, we were no doubt slow to domesticate. It probably took more than a couple million years to develop anything even remotely resembling manners.
Archaeologists have discovered that early brooms, rolling pins, and anything else handily swung by a weaker gender were made entirely of stone. The backs of our heads should be completely flat or even concave.
Fortunately, we're all continuing to evolve. The human face is a lot less robust than it used to be. We no longer have a supraorbital brow like the bumper on a Ford. Our faces have been getting punched less and the rest of our bodies shot more.
As for male domestication, there may come a time when nature grows a reboot button on the back of our heads.

Healthy Families Alaska (HFAK) is a well-established child abuse prevention program targeted to at-risk families. HFAK is based on the Healthy Families America initiative promoted by Prevent Child Abuse America. The State Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) administers the HFAK program.
In 1998, the Alaska State Legislature requested a controlled study of HFAK to determine its effectiveness in preventing child maltreatment, promoting healthy family functioning, and promoting child health and development. DHSS awarded the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine a contract to conduct the study from July 1999 through June 2004.
The study is a randomized trial of six HFAK sites throughout Alaska. It aims to compare services actually provided to HFAK standards, assess program success in achieving intended outcomes, and relate program impact to service delivery.
Families are enrolled over 21 months beginning in January 2000. Families are randomized to either the HFAk group or the control group. Baseline data on family attributes are collected from HFAK files and maternal interviews. HFAK service data are collected from the program's management information system, record reviews, surveys of staff, and staff focus groups. Outcome data are collected when the children were two years old through maternal interview, home-based observations, child developmental testing, review of medical records, and review of OCS child welfare records.

Can relationships truly last a lifetime?
You and your partner might feel more just like friends than a couple. Being a couple goes beyond friendship. It is about building a deep intimacy and connectedness that helps you get through all of the great and difficult transitions in life. When you made a commitment to each other, you might not have considered how life would change both of you. But that does not mean the relationship has to be over.
More often than not, the couples I see just need help with a few simple communication skills to help them reconnect. It doesn't have to be a long drawn out process to learn how to be together again. When I work with couples, I get an understanding of what they each are bringing to the relationship and how they are currently communicating. From there, I help each person understand the perspective of their partner and how to communicate with them in a way creates intimacy and trust.
Did you know that even if there is betrayal, your relationship can heal?
Some people fear that after an affair or breach in trust, they can never be with their partner again. However, with guidance and support you can learn to trust again. Couples counseling can help you communicate about the pain you have experienced and to develop skills for rebuilding your relationship.
If you want a change in your relationship or you want to solidify the foundation for a lifetime of love, then contact me here to set up your first session.

It was sunny and warm inside Oak Meadow Elementary's gymnasium Friday afternoon, despite the dismal weather outside, where 300 people packed the house for the first Heritage Festival.
Event organizer and Oak Meadow parent Cigdem Askin envisioned holding such an event since her fifth-grader first started school back in kindergarten, but with three younger children and a busy life her dream didn't come into fruition until this spring.
A native of Turkey, Askin has lived in America for more than 20 years. And upon learning that Oak Meadow has the highest percentage of "English Learner" students in the Buckeye Union School District, Askin thought the festival would be the perfect opportunity to celebrate the various cultures that make up the school population. With help from parent volunteers a free event aimed to promote friendship among students and families was the goal, said Askin.
For its inaugural year, nine countries were represented at the festival — India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Korea, Mexico, Poland and Turkey — with more countries planned for next year. Each cultural booth had impressive, museum-like displays completely run by parents and students. There were food samples, clothes, musical instruments and artifacts specific to each country.
A student mural made of more than 300 individual paintings with the theme "Families around the world dancing in El Dorado Hills" was the backdrop to the stage.
And if visitors weren't watching the continuous entertainment, which included performances by members of El Dorado Hills Taekwondo, global dances and student magic tricks, they made crafts or visited each of the nine cultural exhibits around the perimeter of the room.
Student visitors were granted a passport upon entry to the gym. A visit to each of the exhibits allowed students to fill in their passports with factual information specific to each country, including its capital, population, name of currency and official language. Prizes were awarded to those who got stamps from every country in their passports and larger prizes from various community sponsors were given to 13 lucky winners.
Oak Meadow Vice Principal Paul Stewart said he's proud Oak Meadow is the first school in the district to have a heritage festival at this scale, and he welcomed neighbors who came to get ideas for their own schools. Instead of the regular Friday school spirit wear, Stewart said students were encouraged to wear clothes representing their country of origin.
Parent Marcin Makarewicz manned the cultural booth for Poland with his two daughters, Oak Meadow third-grader Anna and first-grader Isabella. He said he enjoyed sharing facts with his daughters about his homeland; he moved to America at age 9. He pointed out the amber and woodwork, which is prevalent in Poland and described the sweet Polish treats on hand that he ate as a young boy.
Cigdem Askin credits the 50 parent volunteers and community sponsors for making the event possible. "Because of them this was a free event, truly a community endeavor."

The NYT writes that telephone companies and other utilities are pouring money into the congressional campaign of Becky Armendariz Klein, a Texas Republican who is widely expected to lose.
Why all the money? If Bush wins re-election, apparently she's on the short list of candidates to replace Michael Powell as head of the FCC. Failing that, a seat on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission may be in the works.
Klein, who recently stepped down as chair of the Texas Public Utility Commission, dismisses this interpretation. "I don't think that's the reason at all," she told the Times. "The reason they've told me that they support me is that they appreciated that I had integrity."
I too firmly believe that all this corporate money aimed at becoming "Friends of Becky" (as the NYT puts it) is being spent in good faith. I am sure they are not trying to buy influence, or exert any unseemly pressure on the political system. That never happens, not in the lily-pure environs of Washington D.C or Texas.
