Uploaded by Mike L. on Sep 26, 2011
This group was established for cyclists of all levels and disciplines (road and mountain). You'll see that we're pretty focused on road for the time being but perhaps enough interest will actually form a group to tackle some local trails!
Some folks get a little confused by the title "Grind & Grub" - not terribly creative I'm afraid. "Grind" because of the bikes. "Grub" because I like to think most people work best on the reward-system. You break a sweat, burn your quads a bit and then enjoy some food/drinks, and in the process become friends.
We will try to schedule our rides with a social element to follow. A 20 to 40 mile ride with a drink or two at a local pub - what could be better?
Nervous about your ability to keep up with the group? Look, we all come in different shapes and sizes and that goes for our bikes too. If you are nervous, I would say give it a try on a Bike Path Ride. Also, please read the entire Write-Up. I try to explain what you can expect on a Ride. FYI: I am not a Fast Rider. 12-13 mph, but it's completely natural for the group to organically divide itself up depending on speed. Just know thyself and your own threshold :-)
We just ask that you come with a good attitude and an open-mind. And at least one spare tube, CO2 Cartridge, a Helmet, if you wear one, ( Yes, Helmets are Optional ), Snacks, and Water.
Just use your good judgement !

Hyper reality experience launches at Trinity Leeds
Published: 19 April, 2017
Land Securities' Trinity Leeds is first UK centre in host VR-powered attraction
Land Securities' Trinity Leeds has become the first UK shopping centre to provide its customers with a virtual reality-powered hyper reality experience with the launch of Tick Tock Unlock. The immersive virtual reality experience will occupy a new 665-sq ft unit on the centre's first floor adjacent to River Island.
Developed by former JP Morgan executive Ali Khan, Tick Tock Unlock combines video game, virtual reality, real-world and theatrical production. The six immersive storylines allow players to experience a free-roaming, live action challenge that has to be physically completed, but takes place in the playground of a virtual world.
Rob Jewell, portfolio director at Land Securities said: "Signing Tick Tock Unlock is more than extending Trinity's well-established leisure, entertainment and innovation offer, it's adding a new dimension for Leeds and the whole of the UK that has never existed in a shopping centre environment before. Trinity Leeds is fulfilling Land Securities' commitment to providing our customers with leading brands, latest technology and truly unforgettable experiences."
JLL acted for Land Securities.

Irene May Rake the East Coast ~
After a busy but undramatic start, the 2011 hurricane season is threatening to get serious. Hurricane Irene, the ninth named storm of the season, but only its first Atlantic hurricane, formed early on Monday near Puerto Rico. The Washington Post had this report on Monday at noon (" Hurricane Irene heads toward Hispaniola and US as it threatens to gain strength," by Associated Press). Hurricane expert Dr. Jeff Masters says that an unpredictable low pressure area moving over the U.S. makes Irene's future track something of a guessing game (" Hurricane Irene pounds Puerto Rico, heads for Hispaniola," by Jeff Masters). "A trough of low pressure is expected to move across the Eastern U.S. on Wednesday and Thursday, turning Irene more to the northwest by Wednesday," writes Masters. "The timing and strength of this trough varies considerably from model to model, and will be critical in determining where and when Irene will turn to the north. Irene's strength will also matter--a stronger Irene is more likely to turn northward earlier. The most popular solution among the models is to take Irene to the northwest through the Bahamas on Wednesday and Thursday, then into the Southeast U.S. coast in South Carolina or North Carolina on Saturday. Irene would then travel up the mid-Atlantic coast, arriving near Long Island, New York on Monday morning as a strong tropical storm or Category 1 hurricane. One of the models proposing this solution is our best model, the ECMWF. However, we have two other of our very good models suggesting a landfall near Miami on Thursday night is likely (the GFDL and UKMET models.)" As of Monday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center's best guess had Irene slamming into Charleston, S.C. at 9 AM on Saturday, August 27. "Officials in Charleston, South Carolina, warned residents to monitor Irene closely," the Washington Post reported. But with forecast models varying by the hour, that forecast is highly uncertain. Washington itself might be looking at a 5-inch deluge from Irene — or it might not, the Post reported (" Will Hurricane Irene generate a Washington, D.C. deluge?" by Jason Samenow). "Last night's GFS model showed the entire metro region through the Northeast getting upwards of 5" of rain. Today it simulates just some showers, with the heavy rain pushed off to the east and north from the North Carolina Outer Banks to New England." Time, of course, will tell — and amateur hurricane watchers have plenty of ways to watch events unfold. If you're following along at home, here are links to a couple of the storm-tracking websites with good graphics: IbisEye and Stormpulse

Hmm, are the clients on your wireless interface using m0n0wall's DNS
forwarder by chance? If so, then yes, the behavior has changed with pb19
(we switched from ng_bridge to BRIDGE): access to services on m0n0wall
itself from bridged interfaces is now not explicitly permitted anymore,
even though traffic may pass to the target interface without filtering.
BRIDGE handles things differently, that's why you have to add a rule to
permit traffic from WLAN to at least m0n0wall itself. The manual should
probably explain this when it's finally written. ;)

A federal court panel has ruled that the Texas Legislature's redistricting maps discriminate against minority voters.
The three maps, for new districts for the U.S. House and the Texas Senate and House, violated the Voting Rights Act because they "have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race or color, or language minority group," the three-judge panel of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia said in its 154-page opinion.
As the Austin Statesman notes, Texas had bypassed the Department of Justice to ask the court to approve the maps. The process, called "preclearance," applies to states or jurisdictions with a history of voter discrimination. Currently, Texas is one of 16 mostly southern states needing such approval.
The Republican-controlled state Legislature approved the maps last year. The judges ruled that Texas prosecutors had failed to show that lawmakers did not draw the maps "without discriminatory purposes."
"This is absolutely a victory for Texas and for minority voters to elect a candidate of their choice," Trey Martinez Fischer with the Mexican American Legislative Caucus, told the Houston Chronicle.
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said he would appeal immediately to the U.S. Supreme Court. He had argued that the redistricting plans were drawn up to consolidate Republican power, not to discriminate against Latinos, African Americans or other minority voters.

Auto Shows
1951 Ferrari 212 Export Vignale Spyder
2002 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance
This is the first Ferrari ever road-tested by an English magazine (the Autocar), and was built for Count Marzotto, who sat down with Enzo Ferrari to spec out a car that could be used both in competition and as a grand tourer. This explains the "lusso" (luxury) interior in the lightweight, low-windscreen bodywork. It is a one-of-a-kind. The chrome accent line and two-tone paint were signature elements of Vignale, and may have helped this car win its class.

Kat Von D & Jesse James Engaged Again (Read: Never Broke Up In The First Place)
Where do I begin?
Earlier today, Kat Von D's show LA Ink was shitcanned by TLC which was interesting because she conveniently "broke-up" with Jesse James five days before this season's premiere which we now know proves the show was desperate for publicity. I say all that, plus the sarcastic quotes back there, because not even two hours after she heard the news, it was announced she and Jesse got "re-engaged" under the guise of him realizing she's the greatest thing that ever happened to him since Sandra Bullock and a bike shop full of Nazi poon. People reports:
In an interview with PEOPLE, James made it official. The engagement is back on, and Von D is once again wearing her ring.
"Sometimes you are only given one chance in life," he says. "It was up to me to open my eyes and see it. That girl is my chance. I will never stop fighting and striving to hold on to her. Showing her how special she is, and how much I love her."
On top of this conveniently joyous "reunion," Kat is already starting to spin the cancellation of her show to make it sound like it was all her idea and something about protecting honesty. I'm not gonna lie, I zoned out:
"In an effort to capitalize on my recent breakup, the network has decided to focus their energy on re-editing events that didn't happen while filming," she tells PEOPLE. "I have no regrets and am very proud of the original footage. In my opinion, any attempt to compromise the honesty of that would be an insult to my fans and viewers."
Von D adds, "As grateful as I am to have been a part of a show like LA Ink, I'm ready to end this chapter and want to focus on other projects now."
"Blah blah blah my noonerhole qualifies as an inkwell." That's how I read that.
Now here's where it gets interesting (because I'm 11), if you take anything away from this post, it's that Jesse James just posted the above pic of Kat and him "back together" on his Tumblr. The name of that Tumblr? Butt Pee. Jesse James has a Tumblr named Butt Pee. How I didn't make that the headline will haunt me until the day I die.
UPDATE: "Butt Pee." Butt. Pee…

A famous scholar of American Jewish life once observed that we "earn like Episcopalians and vote like Puerto Ricans". We are committed to building a just and compassionate society and want our nation to provide a safety net with basic social services, even if we might not personally benefit from such programs.
We also know that on women's issues, on gay rights, on Medicare, and on making sound investments in our economic future there is simply no comparison between the parties. Between President Obama's humane values and the Republican dog-eat-dog vision for society.
The Republicans know that they cannot hope to appeal to Jewish voters when domestic issues are what's on the table. Rather than offering a sensible domestic program that our community might support, they have therefore courted our votes the only way they know how: on foreign policy. But try as they might, the GOP cannot obliterate the fact that President Obama has spent four years making our ally Israel stronger than ever before.

"I found the presser not horrible, which is about as much praise as I can muster right now.'' This was the best that the conservative writer Daniel Foster could muster on Mitt Romney's press conference earlier this week.
Mr Romney had popped up late on Tuesday night to put a positive spin on the leak of a recording of him telling a room full of wealthy donors that he believed 47 per cent of American voters were dependent on government handouts and would never vote for him.
''So my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them that they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives,'' he had said.
Foster's faint praise was part of a chorus of bad media for the Republican candidate, noteworthy only because he writes for the National Review Online, a leading conservative journal.
Republicans have winced through three bad weeks for Mr Romney - first there was his failure to secure a ''bounce'' from the Republican Convention, then he bungled a response to attacks on American diplomatic posts, then the recordings appeared.
Now the damage to the campaign is echoing through the polls, and unrest in Republican ranks is growing.
Had an election been held on Thursday Mr Obama would have trounced Mr Romney with 317 electoral college votes to 191 with 126 undecided according to The Huffington Post's Pollster prediction. Its average of 453 polls had Obama with a slight but growing lead of 48.3 per cent to 45 per cent.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed Obama leading Romney 48-43 among likely voters.
But the real concern for Mr Romney is he had failed to take the lead in the swing states (see box) despite the sluggish economy and high unemployment.
This is why the electoral map looks so grim for Mr Romney despite Mr Obama's narrow lead, and it is why the frustration with the campaign among the Republican faithful has grown so obvious.
Perhaps the commentator and former Republican congressman Joe Scarborough put it best: ''[Republicans] are so depressed this morning, they just can't believe that Mitt Romney is blowing a race against a president who they believe has mismanaged the economy terribly over the past four years … It is too much for many Republicans to handle … I'm going to go put a bag over my head now.''
Cracks in the party have started to show. On Thursday morning the former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty quit as the campaign's co-chairman for a job lobbying for Wall Street.
Mr Pawlenty had been on the shortlist of candidates to be Mr Romney's running mate and was presumed to be headed for a cabinet post in a Romney administration.
And a handful of vulnerable congressional candidates publicly distanced themselves from their leader's controversial fundraiser comments.
''I disagree with Governor Romney's insinuation that 47 per cent of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care,'' Linda McMahon, a Connecticut Senate candidate, said in a statement.
Mr Romney's campaign is unsettled and has twice this week discussed reboots with reporters - once on Monday when a senior advisor, Ed Gillespie, said in a conference call it would begin to emphasise more detailed policy, and again on Thursday, when it was said that Mr Romney would spend more time on the hustings rather than at fundraisers or in debate preparation.
This accelerated pace appears to be in response to criticism - again from Republicans - that Mr Romney has not been on the hustings enough, taking days off the campaign trail for fundraising and debate preparation.
''President Obama has been here so much he's probably paying property taxes at this point,'' the president of the Independence Institute, Jon Caldara, told Fox News. ''I can't even remember the last time Mitt Romney's been here.''
Having spent much of this week off the road Mr Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, will both spend three days on the ''Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class'' bus tour of Ohio next week. No Republican has ever won a presidential election without winning Ohio. It has also been reported Mr Romney will visit Colorado tomorrow and Monday.
The problem for Mr Romney is, now that he is trailing, debate preparation has become even more crucial. With just 44 days left in the campaign a sharp performance in the three debates could be the best chance Republicans have of turning the tide.
Mr Romney is considered an effective debater, when he is well prepared. As he said in the press conference explaining his ill-chosen words regarding the 47 per cent: ''I was speaking off the cuff in response to a question.''

WATCH: Taylor STILL LOVES This Video!
We were mentioning earlier how TAYLOR SWIFT was the BIG winner last night at the "Billboard Music Awards" with EIGHT awards...
Well nice to see that with all the continued success she hasn't lost her sense of humor! "Billboard" recently asked her if she had a favorite viral video. She does . . . and it's that goat screaming one that still makes me laugh!
She said, quote, "I thought the goat video for 'I Knew You Were Trouble' was brilliant . . . I showed it to everyone on my tour."
Remember this? :-)

In October, the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles launched "Anne: A Premier Experiential Exhibit" to commemorate the life of Anne Frank, who would have turned 85 on Thursday, for a 10-year stay. I had the opportunity to visit the exhibit Sunday as a kind of introduction to a performance of "About Anne: A Diary in Dance" by the Helios Dance Theater company. A second performance will take place Thursday.
I think most of us have read or know about The Diary of Anne Frank (or Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl), first published in 1947 by her father, Otto Frank, in Dutch. The book has been translated into at least 67 languages, including into English in the United States in 1952, and has sold 30 million copies. Numerous films based on the diary as well as interpretations for television and stage have been produced since Otto Frank discovered the red plaid diary in his family's hiding place after he was liberated from Auschwitz. Anne and her sister, Margot, died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp just weeks before liberation.
Anne received the diary for her 13th birthday and named it Kitty after her imaginary friend. In it, Anne writes letters to Kitty and recounts the daily life of eight people hidden in a secret annex in Amsterdam for just over two years during the Nazi occupation: Anne, Margot and their parents; the van Pels family, consisting of mother, father and son; and a dentist, Fritz Pfeffer.
Anne does more than recount daily life in the hiding place Otto prepared in the building where his business was located. She explores the meaning of life and love and the beginnings of a romance. The diary reveals that the young adolescent Anne was close to her father but not to her mother.
It takes a good hour to walk through and experience the exhibit. There are a few films to watch -- some very short, others a few minutes long -- and many photographs, facsimiles of documents, and replicas and artifacts on display. In one tiny theater, the screen is covered in wallpaper copied from the attic's. The docent opens a bookcase door to the theater, a replica of the very bookcase that allowed food and other necessities to be given to those in hiding in the attic. On at least two occasions, this door saved them from being captured by Nazis hunting for Jews. The Franks and the others were eventually betrayed, and to this day, no one knows who reported them to the Nazis.
I enjoyed listening to Otto Frank talk about his daughter in some of the film clips. He admits that the Anne in the diary is not the outgoing daughter that he knew; he is convinced, he says, that parents never really know their children.
It's fascinating to me that Otto Frank and others were able to gather so many photographs of the Frank family. By the end of this contemporary exhibit about a very brief life, I really felt like I knew Anne Frank much better. I still wonder if I would have been so gracious and optimistic about humanity had I been in her place. I would like to hope so.
"About Anne: A Diary in Dance" was first performed 14 years ago, according to artistic director and choreographer Laura Gorenstein Miller. Miller excerpted several dance sequences into six scenes for the event at the Museum of Tolerance, beginning with the Frank and van Pels families going into hiding.
The modern dance is energetic and strong, pulsating with life, with Anne at its center. It begins with the dancers removing layers of clothing they wear into hiding, all marked with the yellow Star of David, and Anne pushing away the Nazi salute, the sign of Nazi oppression. But even in hiding, Anne is an adolescent and struggles with her relationship with her mother. All of a sudden, after we get to know the characters and follow the narrative, the family is captured, and Otto Frank is left alone to find his daughter's diary. The enormity of his loss, which stands for the injury to the world from the loss of millions of people killed by Hitler and the Nazis, and the sound of Marlene Dietrich singing "Das Lied Ist Aus (Frag' Nicht Warum Ich Gehe)" -- well, it breaks your heart. Even though the Franks were not religious, the dance finishes with Anne, from the next life, singing the Shema, a declaration of Jewish faith.
When I arrived at the museum on Sunday, I first went to listen to a Holocaust survivor, Elane Geller, speak about her experience in Auschwitz. She was 4 years old when she entered the camps and a little over 8 years old when liberated. She is not able to explain how she survived, but she did, even though children were usually sent to the gas chambers immediately. This is the fourth Holocaust survivor lecture I have heard, and should you visit the Museum of Tolerance, be sure to plan to hear a survivor speak (usually at 1 p.m., but call ahead or check at the desk when you buy your ticket).

Discussion in 'Community' started by wild_karrde, Jul 10, 2001.
Why do you think The Rock was brought in?
ROCK was probably the last truly GREAT gimmick in wrestling...
After WCW was purchased and Kurt Angle slowed down wrestling hit the wall.
I think the ending was booked all wrong. If they wanted Rock/Cena what I would have done is still go with lights out, but it's Punk that's laid out instead of Rock. Punk revives before the three, but Rock finishes a weak Punk a short time after with a Rock Bottom or People's Elbow. As Rock's celebrating you cut to Vince watching on the monitor with the Shield, revealing that it was him behind
group all along. Then you have either two options: A Punk/Rock rematch at Elimination Chamber as Rock disavows all knowledge of the Sheild once it's revealed that Vince was behind it (and Punk's other troubles last year), and offer's Punk the rematch, or Vince circumvents Punk's rematch clause and it leads to Punk/Vince with Triple H interfering as Punk tries to get a GTS on Vince leading to a Triple H/Punk rematch at WM.

Well the HOF has just been stratisfied
Well the HOF has just been stratisfied
I guess we can pencil in Lesnar-Triple H II for Wrestlemania also. That's another one that wasn't that good the first time and I don't really care to see again.
I still haven't actually seen the match yet so...
The problem with Vince screwing Punk is that it makes Punk into a face which is what Rock is supposed to be.
True enough, Vince & WWE only seem to put effort in when they have challengers or face serious ratings issues. Unless TNA steps up and becomes more of a WCW type of threat then WWE will carry on being mediocre so long as they can make money that way.
The popular theory of "competition breeds better products," is definitely true in this instance...
WWE was had some of their best years during the Monday night wars. I remember being younger and watching this stuff with my friends, thinking It was awesome. Characters seem very lame now, even their names suck, lol...
Regardless, id still like to have seen the Rock match at the Rumble.
Turn Cena heel before he faces off with the Rock and make Rock clueless as to what Vince was doing (yeah, I'm not a fan of making the babyface dumb like that, but with Rock and his fanbase you could probably pull it off better than say, using Cena in this instance), problem solved. If their so gung - ho to do Cena/Rock II at 'Mania, then now's the perfect time to go full on heel with John. Because honestly, Cena will get booed whether he goes up against Punk or Rock.
And Monday was probably the worst and weirdest promo I ever seen Cena give. Good job John on giving away the Elimination Chamber rematch before Punk actually invoked his rematch clause.
And TNA won't become a threat so long as Hogan has creative control over that company.
Hell just froze over.
Well that's good. What was the hold up?
Sammartino wanting nothing to do with Vince McMahon or his version of the WWE for the longest time. Apparently Triple H was the icebreaker here.
Were the Mayans just a few months late about the end of the world? Because I'm pretty sure this is one of the signs of the Apocalypse.
As a matter of fact, I keep looking out my window to see if Pigs are flying...
Sammartino's HOF vid that was leaked on YouTube yesterday. Note this is not the one that aired on RAW last night. I'll post that one when either WWE puts it up or I find it on my own.
So Hulk Hogan was on Football Focus today making predictions of the Premier League results over the weekend, despite admitting he knows nothing about European sport.
He predicted Chelsea to beat Wigan 40-1
I heard that he was on there making predictions, not the prediction itself (I'm not a big soccer fan and even I know that's off by a BIG margin). I'll have to hunt down the interview on YouTube for laughs.
On a more serious note, Miz's current push is likely to be very short - lived since apparently, Miz dropped Punk on his head last night at a houseshow in a botched move gone wrong. By most legit source accounts, it looks like Punk was just shaken up but still.... There's a reason I still cannot watch that SummerSlam match where Owen tombstone's Austin.
Oh and Undertaker's in Nashville where RAW's taking place tomorrow. Take that for what you will.
Punk called the Pope a Nazi on Twitter this morning so the Miz might not be the only one in hot water.
you mean the same pope that helped relocate all the child molesting priests... He should be in jail.
I won't disagree and when he was young he actually was a Nazi but it being true doesn't mean Punk won't get in trouble for saying it.
really??? there was a time in WWE that a guy like Stone Cold could've done and said anything...
He might've been the only guy who was more "OVER" with the crowd than Hogan...
Considering how many other people in the world have called the current Pope a Nazi, I think the only way Punk gets in trouble over it, would be if it caused some sort of media attention, which probably isn't likely, given as stated, Punk's not the first to say that towards the current Pope.
Edit: If he had gone all full - on Ted Nugent about it, that might be a different story.
Indeed, I use that insult against the Pope all the time.

CLEVELAND: Human remains have been found in a renewed search in Cleveland for a woman who was pregnant and 18 when she disappeared in 1995.
The medical examiner's office confirmed the remains found Friday were human. There was no additional information on the remains.
Identification could take several weeks.
FBI spokeswoman Vicki Anderson says the search was part of a multi-agency investigation in the missing Christina Adkins case. She vanished Jan. 10, 1995.
The remains were found in a grassy, wooded area near an Interstate 90 ramp south of downtown Cleveland.
The FBI said earlier that the escape to freedom in May of three women held captive and raped in a Cleveland house over a decade prompted new tips in the case of Adkins and another missing woman.

CA2002: Do not lock on objects with weak identity
Visual Studio 2010
Breaking Change
An object is said to have a weak identity when it can be directly accessed across application domain boundaries. A thread that tries to acquire a lock on an object that has a weak identity can be blocked by a second thread in a different application domain that has a lock on the same object. The following types have a weak identity and are flagged by the rule:
The following example shows some object locks that violate the rule.
using System; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; using System.Threading; namespace ReliabilityLibrary { class WeakIdentities { void LockOnWeakId1() { lock(typeof(WeakIdentities)) {} } void LockOnWeakId2() { MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(); lock(stream) {} } void LockOnWeakId3() { lock("string") {} } void LockOnWeakId4() { MemberInfo member = this.GetType().GetMember("LockOnWeakId1")[0]; lock(member) {} } void LockOnWeakId5() { OutOfMemoryException outOfMemory = new OutOfMemoryException(); lock(outOfMemory) {} } } }

PARIS (Feb. 3)
The war crimes case against accused Nazi collaborator Maurice Papon appeared open and shut at the start of his trial.
But what once seemed simple has become complex, making the verdict increasingly unpredictable with each day of proceedings.
The 4-month-old trial has visibly exasperated the media — and some lawyers fear it could have the same effect on the jurors.
"I am afraid that public opinion may change," said lawyer Gerard Boulanger, who launched the first suit against Papon in 1981. "The exasperation could become so great that it would cause the jury to revolt. That would be catastrophic."
The numerous postponements sought by the 87-year-old Papon because of complaints of ill health have contributed to the slow pace of the trial.
These delays were so frequent at the start of the trial that lawyers for Holocaust victims and their families accused Papon last November of using his health as an excuse to delay the trial.
The trial encountered another difficulty last week, when a prosecution lawyer dropped a bombshell that could have derailed the proceedings entirely.
Arno Klarsfeld, son of famed Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld, called for the presiding judge to remove himself because of a conflict of interest, saying he was related to Jews whom Papon allegedly had deported from the southwestern city of Bordeaux during the wartime Vichy regime and later perished at Auschwitz.
Part of the reason behind Klarsfeld's call was the fear that if he had not revealed the family link, the defense would do so to discredit a conviction.
But Klarsfeld himself admitted that the move was also motivated by a personal vendetta against Judge Jean-Louis Castagnede, who has allowed Papon to go free for the duration of the trial instead of keeping him in prison, as is customary in France, or under surveillance in a hospital.
The public prosecutor, as well as the other lawyers for the civil plaintiffs, denounced Klarsfeld's motion and France's umbrella group for Jewish secular groups, the CRIF, asked him to back off.
In a sharp turnaround Monday, Klarsfeld withdrew his motion calling for the judge to step down — a move that brought evident relief to those who did not want to see the already drawn-out trial thrown into further disarray.
But beyond Papon's health claims and the abortive move by Klarsfeld, the proceedings — which opened Oct. 8 and initially were scheduled to end Dec. 23 — have also been extended by lengthy testimony from historians and witnesses, as well as by a painstaking analysis of the hierarchy of the Bordeaux prefect's office, where Papon was the second-highest-ranking official and acted as supervisor of the Office for Jewish Questions during the Nazi occupation.
A Paris police chief and budget minister after the war, Papon went on trial on accusations that he ordered the arrest of 1,560 Jews, 223 of them children, for deportation to death camps between 1942 and 1944.
Papon denies the charges against him, saying he was a powerless underling who spent the war saving Jewish lives.
Now, even those who had been fervently in favor of the trial have voiced their disappointment.
"Poorly prepared, poorly organized and above all, poorly explained, the Papon trial is in danger of becoming a disaster," Jewish writer Marek Halter recently wrote in an opinion piece in the French daily Liberation.
The worst blow came from the widely read news magazine l'Express, which described the trial in an article last week as rambling and aimless.
"This artificial dragging out not only creates boredom, but it stresses the shortcomings and irregularities of the proceedings," the article said, blaming the delay on the exhaustive and "repetitive" cross-examinations of the 18 lawyers representing the civil plaintiffs.
The day after the l'Express article appeared, Castagnede summoned the lawyers from both sides to a meeting and ordered them to speed up the proceedings, saying he would also require witnesses to be more concise.
Many observers blame the delays on Castagnede himself for allowing witnesses to ramble endlessly and failing to impose discipline on the proceedings.
While Castagnede's directive to the lawyers may help create order and accelerate the daily arguments, much of the damage may have already been done.
Boulanger, the lawyer who launched the 1981 trial against Papon, voiced the fear that the evidence against Papon — documents from the prefect's office concerning the roundup and transport of Jews — has become lost amid the months of interrogation and testimony by some 50 witnesses.
Another 50 are expected to take the stand.
"The arguments have been diluted. We have gone too far off the track. The main obstacle we must imperatively surmount is the slow pace of the debates," he said.
One critic said that the trial was destroying all the soul-searching France had done to come to terms with its collaborationist past.
"All the historical, pedagogical and cultural work accomplished during the last 20 years is being smashed to pieces," said Maurice Szafran, editor of the weekly magazine Marianne.
Papon is the highest, and undoubtedly the last, French official to go on trial for crimes against humanity.
Legal action was first taken against him 16 years ago, but was repeatedly obstructed by the administration of late President Francois Mitterrand, who was reluctant to see the painful aspects of France's past dragged out for re- examination.

Ravita Receives NCAA Tournament At-Large Bid
May 2, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Continuing her historic freshman season, Nadia Ravita received a singles at-large bid for the 2013 NCAA Division 1 Women's Tennis Championships, one of 48 players nationally to be selected by the NCAA Division 1 Women's Tennis Subcommittee.
"The whole team is excited to see that Nadia will have a chance to gain valuable experience and accomplish some amazing things in the national individual tournament," UK head coach Carlos Drada said. "The fact that Nadia had such a remarkable season as a freshman is a testament to her hard work and competitive spirit."
Posting a 20-4 singles record, including 10-3 in Southeastern Conference matches, Ravita was named Second Team All-SEC and All-Freshman, the first Kentucky player to be named All-SEC since Christine Johnson in 2010 and the first UK freshman to be named All-SEC since Megan Broderick in 2008.
Ravita's bid makes her the first UK player to compete in the singles competition at the NCAA Championships since Kim Coventry received an at-large bid in 2006. Coventry defeated Georgia Tech's Lyndsay Shosho in the first round of competition but ultimately fell in the Round of 32.
Currently ranked 24th nationally, the freshman has ranked as high as 22nd nationally, the highest singles ranking for a UK player since 2006 when Kim Coventry opened the season ranked 15th.
Ravita's singles record ties the best record for a member of the program since 2008, when Christine Johnson finished the year 20-4.
The Jakarta, Indonesia, native's signature win came early in conference play when she knocked off fourth-ranked Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar of Texas A&M. After dropping the first set 6-2, Ravita stormed back to take the second set 6-4 and claim the match with a 6-2 win in the third set.
"This is the beginning of great things to come not only for Nadia but also for the rest of the team next season," Drada said.
The singles competition will be held May 22-27 following the conclusion of the team championship at the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex/Atkins Tennis Center in Urbana, Ill.

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1)
Virtually anyone who has any Christian upbringing at all has heard the very first verse of the Bible. And anyone who claims to be a Christian accepts the truth it teaches, that God created us! But how many of you have ever sat down to think just how that fact affects how you live and act every day?
Anytime a person creates something, he has a purpose for that creation. For example, your mom never just goes into the kitchen and starts throwing together some flour, sugar, and milk without having something very specific in mind that she plans to create with those ingredients. A potter never begins spinning her wheel until she knows what she wants to mold that clay into. And a carpenter never begins cutting up a new shipment of lumber into an odd assortment of shapes and sizes until he has some idea of the type of furniture he plans to build. God did not just create you on a whim with no design for you. Instead, when God created you, He had a very specific purpose in mind for you.
Since God created you for a purpose, He has a right to demand that you fulfill that purpose. Back to the illustration of the potter: If you were the one who purchased the clay, took the time and effort to spin the wheel, and used your skill to carefully shape the clay into a ceramic bowl, you would then be the owner of that bowl. You would have every right to decide whether it ought to be used for your morning cereal, or to hold a potted plant! Because God created you, He owns you and has every right to decide your purpose. But you do not have to wonder what that purpose is. Scripture identifies that purpose for you: God called you to salvation even before He created you. Why did He? "That we should be to the praise of His glory." (Ephesians 1:12)
God owns me and has the right to demand that I act in a way that brings glory to Him.
My Response: » Have I been acting today in a way that gives God the glory He deserves as my Creator and Owner?
"Don't rely too much on labels, for too often they are fables."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, often called "C.H." Spurgeon, is known as the most famous British Baptist preacher in Christian history. Born on June 19, 1834, he has often been called "the Apostle Paul of his generation." Remarkably, he was never taught to preach, yet he became the most popular preacher in all of London.
At age 15, he was walking home, when the sky above him suddenly opened into a terrible snowstorm. Looking for somewhere to stay warm until the storm passed, he ducked into a church building where a service was taking place. The preacher was reading Isaiah 45:22 about looking to Jesus as the substitute Lamb slain for our sins, and the simple message of it changed Charles Spurgeon's whole worldview. God opened Spurgeon's spiritual eyes so he could look to Jesus that day for salvation.
He began preaching at age 16. Soon, he was preaching to crowds of 10,000 at a time – and this was before microphones were invented! From the very beginning, Charles Spurgeon was a gifted speaker and a powerful preacher. By age 20 he had already preached over 600 times. At age 25, he built the famous Metropolitan Tabernacle which seated 5,000 for each service. Even that was not enough room, since usually 1,000 or so more people would have to stand outside the Tabernacle to listen.
People began to call Spurgeon "the Prince of Preachers," and his sermons were published in written form like a newsletter each week. By the end of his life, he had preached more than 3,600 sermons and published over 49 books and commentaries.
He married Susannah and raised twin sons. With his family, he helped start the Pastor's College and the Stockwell Orphanage. He often said, "I'd rather be poor in His service than rich in my own."
What would you prefer? What would you like to be rich in – God's service or man's wealth?
Isaiah 45:22 – "Look to Me, and be saved, all you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other."
He That Filleth All in All
Ephesians 1:23 "Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all."
God saves us to show the world what a wonderful God He is. Isa 43:25 -- I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.
The word "trinity" is not in the Bible. "Tri" means three. The Persons of the Trinity exist as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Each person is fully God and has all the characteristics and qualities of God. In the book of Genesis, there is a verse which verifies that God was not alone in the world's creation. Genesis 1:26 reads, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." In the book of John, Jesus tells how important it was that He go to the Father so the "Comforter" (the Holy Spirit) could come into the world.

Partner lock-ins normally come at a time of turmoil or change for a firm – following a merger (27 January 2014), or to stem a slew of partner departures (4 April 2005).
Bonelli Erede Pappalardo's three-year 'loyalty' lock-in (8 April 2014) is slightly different. Yes, the firm has lost a couple of partners recently, but two out of a partnership of almost 60 does not amount to a flood. And it is 15 years since the three-way merger which formed the firm.
Instead, Bonelli wants to make sure that all its partners are fully supportive of its radical strategy overhaul, kicked off last year when new managing partners Stefano Simontacchi and Marcello Giustiniani took over from Alberto Saravalle (22 May 2013).
The lock-in, and the strategy rethink, is all part of Bonelli's attempts to turn itself into a more institutional firm. It is not alone in Europe in trying to do this – most of the larger independents have realised that their survival is closely linked to making sure that client relationships are with the firm, not an individual, and that new generations feel engaged and valued.
In Italy, Gianni Origoni Grippo Cappelli & Partners found it had to accelerate its succession planning due to two key events – its break from ally Linklaters in 2004 (15 March 2004), and the 2007 split which saw over 100 lawyers led by managing partner Giovanni Nardulli to set up Legance (5 November 2007).
As a result, Gianni Origoni institutionalised earlier than many of its local rivals, although senior partner Francesco Gianni has previously said that the firm wanted to be an institution from day one (17 July 2011).
Elsewhere, several firms – notably Spanish firms Garrigues (31 October 2011), Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira (26 March 2012) and Gómez-Acebo & Pombo (2 February 2011) have rejigged their partnership structures to try and engage the younger generation more.
Gómez-Acebo (6 March 2014) has been pretty successful at this. It has several office or practice area managing partners who are not yet 40, gaining management experience early in the expectation of leading the firm in the future.
In Portuguese firm Vieira de Almeida name partner João Vieira de Almeida is managing partner at present. But the firm is already preparing for the end of his office in a couple of years, with plans in place to ensure a smooth succession to the next managing partner.
Interestingly, several firms in Europe have chosen to move to an all-equity, or largely equity, partnership structure as part of their efforts to engage younger lawyers. A full third of the top 100 European firms by revenue are all-equity partnerships, a far greater proportion than most Anglo-Saxon-led international firms.
Nevertheless, one has to question how effective European succession planning has been. In the past couple of years a number of senior associates or partners from independent firms have decided to go their own way and launch or join boutiques, with departures coming from Darrois Villey Maillot Brochier (4 February 2013), Gide Loyrette Nouel (8 March 2013) and Stibbe (9 April 2014) among others.
Bonelli's lock-in prevents that happening to the Italian outfit – at least for the moment. But it will be interesting to see how different the firm is in 2017 when the lock-in comes to an end, and how loyal its partners really are.

Subject: [htdig] odd little bug in htdig 3.1.4
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: Thu Feb 03 2000 - 02:07:12 PST
I have found that if a page contains keywords with just a space in the
contents, like so:
<META name=keywords content=" ">
<META name=description content=" ">
then the page is indexed ok, but no excerpt is shown by htsearch with
Just changing that to:
<META name=keywords content="">
<META name=description content="">
clears the problem.
How did I find this, and why does it matter?
Well I'm working on an external conversion script which tries to extract
the keywords and summary from WordPerfect documents. In real life such
documents often have no summary or keywords and I was using a space as
the default.
I can work around this, so its no great deal, but the bug may have other
consequences I havn't found yet.
By the way, my script is based on conv_doc.pl and can be used in its
place. I hope to send it in when I've finished polishing it.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Red velvet is the best kind of cake ever—and not because of the 1989 appearance of the armadillo-shaped groom's cake in the film Steel Magnolias. There's something about the cacao-tinged flavor and the rich sweetness of the creamy frosting that's absolutely irreplaceable. Which is why you'd expect a high-quality red velvet cupcake at a high-quality cupcakery like Sprinkles. The bakers there—with their fancy-schmancy designs and pretty accoutrements—know just how to do the Southern specialty right. The taste of their delicious, deep red confections is tough to put into words, but suffice it to say that the Steel Magnolia set would certainly approve.
Long before tapas, small plates and shared plates became trendy, the Spanish grabbed simple bites at the bar to tide them over until 10 or 11 p.m., when dinner is served. Cava's piquillo peppers appetizer is like an homage to that simple tradition. They merely sauté the peppers in olive oil (a lot of olive oil) with some garlic. That's it—nothing fancy, but the flavors roil from earthy, bitter and herbaceous to piquant, even sweet. In a city where chefs put a lot of time and effort into starters, Cava's basic dish stands out.
For decades Dwight Harvey held down a real, corporate-type job, cooking barbecue on the weekends. He and his son eventually turned this into a casual catering venture and, finally, a full-fledged barbecue joint. The Harveys are particular about their wood, using pecan to slow-cook brisket, ribs and the other usual suspects. Their rub lends a strong, sweet-spicy character to the meats. If there's a downside, it's the cramped space. A set of tables out front provide seating, but you must force your way to the counter to place orders, especially during the lunch rush. There's a large contingent of downtown cubicle dwellers who frequent the place. For those who want to run the south-side-after-dark risk, Off the Bone stays open late—as in 2 a.m. late—on weekends.
Generally, when you see two restroom doors in a restaurant, they lead into two different restrooms—you know, boys and girls, cowpokes and cowgirls, damas y caballeros, etc. Not so at Cowboy Chow, however, where both doors lead into the same communal restroom. Sure, everyone gets their own individual walled-off stall with a full door, but it's still awkward when you run into your date at the communal sink. And considering all the delicious Navajo fry bread, red pepper brisket, homemade chocolate chip ice cream and (especially) sweet watermelon tea you'll be consuming, there's no way you'll be able to avoid it.
First the chefs at AVA, one of whom worked at the Green Room, brought back that long-lost restaurant's mussels recipe. Then the man himself announced his return. Years ago Marc Cassel guided the little Deep Ellum bar/restaurant to greatness. His style? Collision cuisine—the happy smashing of contrasting flavors and techniques into something that worked, and magically so. In July, Dallas' prodigal chef returned, opening Park on Henderson Avenue to almost instant success. The Dallas Morning News reported guests raising toasts to Cassel's chicken-fried steak. That's big news.
Phil and Janet Cobb you know from the Black-Eyed Pea chain (Phil's doing) and Mi Piaci (Janet), as well as some other once-famous stops. The name Chris Andrews is associated with Holy Smokes, a once well-regarded barbecue place. And then there's Dotty Griffith, former restaurant critic for The Dallas Morning News. All of these familiar names have come back to life and converged, like culinary zombies, on a small bit of real estate in Carrollton. The meat's pretty good. The names behind it are impressive as hell.

Great mythconceptions
Page Tools
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
Photo: File
After years of being questioned on whether the moon landing was a fake, whether tampons contain asbestos and why chocolate gives you zits, Dr Karl Kruszelnicki wants to set some urban myths straight.
As a celebrity scientist, with regular weekly radio and television slots, he says there are always reoccurring questions on many of the same "mythconceptions".
"Did we really go to the moon? Yes, of course we did. Why do lemmings jump over cliffs? They don't. Why does chocolate give you zits? It doesn't. How do camels deal with all the water in their hump? They haven't got water in their hump," Dr Karl explains.
"There is all this total crap that we believe that is totally wrong."
In an attempt to correct it, Dr Karl has written Great Myth Conceptions, his 23rd book, which is aimed at debunking some of the most common urban myths.
So why do people believe this stuff?
"Unfortunately people have got this thing where they tend to believe things told them to by somebody in authority," he said.
"And authority can be the guy who is really drunk next to you in a pub, or your mother or your schoolteacher."
Other myths addressed in the book include whether the soul weighs 21 grams and whether by applying a mathematical code to the Bible, you can predict future events.
"The Bible Code falls into people's need to want to know about the future. It is really easy to come up with a bit of crap and say, 'Look I've got the truth, just trust me'. Marrying it into the Bible, a book of some authority, was a really clever trick."
There are some answers Dr Karl just doesn't have, like why the moon appears bigger on the horizon: "The straight answer is, we just don't know."
And then there are the myths he cannot believe people fall for - the most amazing to him is that the moon landing was staged.
"You couldn't fake that," he said.
"Unless the roughly 200,000 people involved in it were lying, which is not impossible, but it would be pretty hard to pull off.
"But then there are ordained priests who don't believe in God, there are physicists who reckon that Einstein is wrong in his theory of relativity, there is going to be somebody who is going to believe anything."

McClay congratulates App4IR winners
Revenue Minister Todd McClay has congratulated Matt Innes and Josh Lee on winning the App4IR Challenge.
"Matt and Josh's proposal includes adapting the existing myIR platform for use on mobile devices by incorporating fingerprint technology for security. The App is also designed as a one-stop-shop where a customer can access multiple accounts at the same time, which will be of major benefit to small business owners," says Mr McClay.
Matt and Josh will receive $10 000 and be
given the opportunity to further develop the app with Inland
"The App4IR Challenge, launched on 6 March, was designed to help Inland Revenue develop a mobile app to make interacting with our tax system easier and faster."
"The process has been extremely successful; by using crowdsourcing, Inland Revenue was able to connect directly with designers, software developers and ICT organisations to find the best ideas."
"The challenge attracted 311 registrations of interest, 53 were developed into complete submissions and six were selected as finalists."
"Today the finalists presented their ideas to a Dragons Den-style panel of judges, including the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, who chose Matt and Josh as the winner."
"Inland Revenue is committed to developing services that ensure that businesses and individuals can meet their tax requirements quicker, easier and cheaper, Matt and Josh's winning proposal does exactly that."
"The focus is on improving Inland Revenue's digital channels and online services so that customers can interact with us 24 hours a day, seven days a week."
"App4IR is an important step in achieving
that and I offer my congratulations to Matt and Josh on
developing such an outstanding winning entry," says Mr

The 5th Annual Ms. Hopkins County Senior Classic is in danger of being canceled. So far, the pageant organizer has received no applications for contestants for the June 7 event. No contestants equals no contest.
"I need you to call me as soon as you can if you are interested," said Karon Weatherman, coordinator for the annual senior contest. "Step out of your comfort zone and get involved. It is a fun event."
There is no fee to enter the June 7 contest, and any woman age 60 or older who resides in Hopkins County is eligible to compete.
Simply contact Weatherman at 903-885-1661 to sign up. The winner of the annual pageant is eligible to compete in Ms. Texas Senior Classic Aug. 22-25, at South Fork Hotel in Plano.
"Ladies, please do not let the Ms. Hopkins County Senior contest be canceled for lack of participation. Encourage your friends to join you as a contestant. It is so much fun that in other counties the same women enter the contest every year! They don't care if they win or not—they just enjoy participation and the camaraderie, not to mention making life-long friends," urges Ms. Texas Senior Classic 2012 Nancy Bolton, who advanced to the Texas Ms. Senior Classic as the first runner up in the 2011 Ms. Hopkins County Senior Classic Pageant.
In 2010, Bolton was awarded a sash and certificate for "best evening gown" at the county pageant.
Weatherman noted the annual pageant features judging in four categories, interview with the judges, philosophy of life, evening gown and talent. And, although one category is labeled "evening gown," sparking evening gown attire is not required. For that matter, amazing talent isn't required either — just a willingness of women age 60 years or older to step up and show their stuff at the county event.
"You just need a nice church dress and have a fun talent. It can be reading a poem, telling a funny story, lip syncing to a song or anything else you can think of," Weatherman said.
"It is not a beauty contest and you don't have to have a spectacular talent. One lady displayed her knitting and croquet items, one completed decorating a cake on stage, making a flower arrangement – the possibilities are endless," Bolton noted.
"So what if you're out of your comfort zone — participating will increase your self confidence," Bolton added. "As Ms. Texas Senior, I had opportunities that I never would have experienced had it not been for my participation. Don't let Karon down. She works so hard for the seniors of Hopkins county."
Contestants will be asked one interview question they draw out of a container.
"The interview with the judges is just a random question that you will pull out of a fishbowl and answer the question. You could even just say the old stand-by 'world peace' if appropriate," Weatherman said.
The 2013 Ms. Hopkins County Senior Classic, Sonja K. Baker-Norton of Yantis was named Miss Congeniality and won the award for best interview. Her question was "If you had the whole day to do anything you wanted, what would you do?" She described a spa day complete with massage, micro-derma abrasion, pedicure and manicure.
Each contestant will also be asked to give a short 50-word statement detailing their philosophy of life, which is read during another phase of the contest: the evening gown category.
The 2013 best philosophy of life winner Hannah Easdon said she believes in making lemonade out of lemons. She follows Philippians 4:11 to the best of her ability, being content whatever the circumstance. In her spare time, she likes writing and doing needlework. In fact, for the talent contest, she read a cowboy poem she wrote shortly after her husband died, which reflects her life philosophy.
Unless interest is shown among local women soon, the pageant, scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, June 7 at the Church of the Nazarene, will be canceled.

The pantheon revisited
The Pantheon is one of the most celebrated and most carefully
studied buildings of Western architecture. In the modern age, as it
had been in the Renaissance, the Pantheon is a crucible of critical
thinking. Preservation of the Pantheon had been undertaken in the
seventeenth century and continued in the eighteenth during the
pontificate of Clement XI.

If you are preparing your tax return manually, consider using the simplest form(s) for your needs. This will save you time in preparing your return, and the IRS will be able to process your tax return more quickly.

U.S. citizens and resident aliens can choose among three types of forms for filing their federal income tax:

Form 1040 (the standard tax form)

Form 1040A (contain a smaller set of lines for reporting income and deductions)

Form 1040EZ (shortest form and fastest filing time)

Form 1040EZ

You can use Form 1040EZ, the shortest and easiest federal tax form, if:

Your taxable income is under $100,000

Your interest income is under $1,500

Your only income is from wages, interest, unemployment compensation, and Alaska Permanent Fund dividends

You and your spouse are under 65 years old

Your filing status is single or married filing jointly.

You do not have any adjustments to income

You are claiming only the standard deduction

You may claim the Earned Income Credit

You are not claiming any other tax credits

More Form 1040EZ resources:

 Download Form 1040EZ (PDF)

Find IRS Instructions for Form 1040EZ

Form 1040A (the short form)

Most taxpayers qualify to use Form 1040A, often called the "short form." This form allows you to claim the most common adjustments to income. You cannot use Form 1040A if you want to itemize your deductions.

Your taxable income is under $100,000

Any age, any filing status

You have income from wages, interest, dividends, capital gain distributions, IRA or pension distributions, unemployment compensation, Social Security benefits, scholarships or fellowships, or Alaska Permanent Fund dividends

You can claim the following adjustments to income: IRA contributions, student loan interest, tuition and fees deduction, and classroom expenses

You claim the standard deduction

You can claim the following tax credits: Child and dependent care credit, Credit for the elderly and disabled, American Opportunity credit, Lifetime Learning credit, Retirement savings contributions credit, Child tax credit and additional child tax credit, and the Earned income credit

You did not exercise any incentive stock options.

Parents of college students may want to consider filing Form 1040A instead of Form 1040 in an effort to help their college student qualify for a larger financial aid package under the simplified needs test.

More Form 1040A resources:

 Download Form 1040A (PDF)

Find IRS Instructions for Form 1040A

Form 1040 (the long form)

Any taxpayer can use Form 1040. Even though it takes longer to fill out, Form 1040 can handle any tax situation no matter how complex. You must use Form 1040 if:

You have taxable income of $100,000 or more

You are itemizing your deductions (such as mortgage interest or charity)

You have income from a rental, business, farm, S-corporation, partnership, or trust

You have foreign wages, paid foreign taxes, or are claiming tax treaty benefits

You sold stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or property

You are claiming adjustments to income for the penalty on early withdrawal of savings, moving expenses, or health savings accounts

You need to calculate surtaxes, such as Social Security and Medicare taxes on unreported tips, household employment taxes, or the 10% tax on early distributions from a retirement plan.

If you have any doubt whatsoever, please use Form 1040. You can never go wrong by using this tax form.

Other IRS Forms You Might Need

In addition to filing your annual tax form, you also may need to file other documents with the IRS or Treasury Department.

Gift Tax

You'll need to file Form 709, United States Gift Tax Return, if you gave more than $14,000 during the year to an individual. Links to Form 709 (PDF), IRS Instructions, and Publication 950, Introduction to Estate and Gift Taxes. The gift tax return is due on the same day as your Form 1040. Usually this is April 15, or October 15 if you request an automatic 6-month extension.

Foreign Bank Accounts
You must file FinCEN Form 114, Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts, if you have more than $10,000 in foreign banks, brokerage accounts, or other financial institutions located outside the United States. See the overview of Reporting Foreign Bank Accounts for more details. The foreign bank account report is filed directly with the US Treasury Department and is due June 30.

We live in a world where technological innovation and global competition are increasing at a pace never before seen. Now is the time to invest in our children to make sure they are prepared to succeed in the 21st century. - U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings. Key Things Parents Can Do To Make Sure Their Children Are Prepared For The 21st Century.
Make sure your child understands the importance of math in elementary school, and encourage your child to take more math, science and critical language courses in high school.
In the increasingly competitive global economy, it is crucial for American students to be well-trained in math, science and critical languages (such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian).
U.S. students are currently performing below their international peers in math and science.
In 1983, the landmark education report, A Nation at Risk, recommended that high school students take a minimum of three years of math and three years of science. Yet today, only 22 States and the District of Columbia require at least this amount.
Currently, only 44% of American high school students are enrolled in a foreign language class. And less than 1% of American high school students study critical foreign languages.
Take Action:
Encourage your elementary school child in his/her math homework. Remind him/her of the importance of learning math for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Learn your State"s math and science requirements for high school graduation.
Encourage your child to take four years of math and four years of science in high school, even if it is not required.
Find out what kind of critical language courses your child"s school offers. Encourage your child"s school to offer them and encourage your child to take them.
Encourage your child to take more Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school.
Nearly 75% of high school graduates enter college, but only 12% of these students have completed a significant college-prep curriculum. Research shows that students who take rigorous courses in high school stand a far greater chance of succeeding in college.
AP students are much more likely than their peers to graduate from college in four years or less. The four-year college graduation rate for students who take two or more AP courses is 32 percentage points higher than for those who don"t take any AP courses. And the rate for students who take just one AP course is 16 percentage points higher than for those who don"t take any.
Take Action:
Find out what AP courses your child"s high school offers. Make sure they meet the true definition of Advanced Placement and are not simply honors courses. If the school does not offer any, encourage it to do so.
Encourage your child to take AP courses.
Encourage your child"s teacher to take advantage of the Department of Education"s Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative.
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) requires teachers of core academic subjects to be deemed highly qualified by their State. This means that they have a bachelor"s degree, full State certification, and demonstrated competency in each core academic subject they teach.
The Department"s Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative supports educators" professional development by engaging the nation"s best teachers and principals to share strategies for raising student achievement.
Take Action:
Find out if your child"s teacher is highly qualified. Find out if your child"s middle school or high school math and science teachers have degrees in their field.
If your child"s teacher is not highly qualified, make sure the district and school have a plan in place to help him/her become highly qualified.
Encourage your child"s teacher to take advantage of the U.S. Department of Education"s Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative. Through the Teacher-to-Teacher website, http://www.ed.gov/teacherinitiative, your child"s teacher can participate in free eLearning professional development courses, sign up for regular email updates on teacher-related issues, and learn about what the Department is doing to support teachers.
Your State may allow the Department"s free eLearning courses to count toward a teacher"s professional development credit and toward meeting the highly qualified requirements. Find out at: http://www.ed.gov/teacherinitiative.
Find out if your child"s school has a program that allows well-qualified individuals outside the public education system to teach courses in high-need areas as adjunct teachers. If they do, and if you have skills in math, science, or critical languages, consider teaching a course.
When a school is identified for improvement, meaning it has not made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for at least two consecutive years, school officials are required to work with parents, school staff, the local educational agency, and outside experts to develop a plan to improve the school.
If a school does not make AYP for five years, it moves into the restructuring phase. The district must initiate plans to restructure the school in the sixth year. Options include reopening the school as a charter school, replacing the school staff, or turning over school operations to the State or a private education company with a demonstrated record of effectiveness.
The Department of Education has numerous resources to help students and their schools improve academic performance, including Early Reading First and Reading First grants, Teaching American History grants, Improving Literacy Through School Libraries grants, and many others.
Take Action:
Find out if your child"s school is in need of improvement. If it is, ask if there is a plan in place to help your child"s school improve.
Find out if the school is in the restructuring phase. If so, ask if there is a plan for turning the school around.
Find out if your child"s school district is receiving any competitive NCLB grants. Encourage your child"s school district to apply for all the NCLB grants for which it is eligible. A list of discretionary grants is available at: http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/grantapps.
Take advantage of the new opportunities NCLB may provide for your child.
NCLB requires States and school districts to give parents easy-to-read, detailed report cards on schools and districts, telling them which ones are succeeding and why.
NCLB gives students in schools in need of improvement the opportunity to transfer to another public school or public charter school in the district. If a school is in need of improvement for at least two years, low-income students then become eligible to receive Supplemental Educational Services (SES), such as free tutoring.
Take Action:
Make sure you receive a report card on your child"s school and that it is easy to understand. If you don"t receive a school report card or if it is hard to decipher, contact your child"s school district.
Do you know whether or not your child is eligible to transfer to another public schoo
We live in a world where technological innovation and global competition are increasing at a pace never before seen. Now is the time to invest in our children to make sure they are prepared to succeed

JUNE 2010 Chef Feature
This entry was posted on June 4, 2010.
Chef Gabriel Diaz is amazing. Why? He works harder than anyone I know, he's incredibly humble, and his food is insanely good. Not to mention he plans to take on an even heavier work load in the coming weeks and he doesn't plan on slowing down anytime soon. "When I'm at home my time is spent with my family, but when I'm at work my time is spent figuring out what I can do next. I'm always experimenting, and teaching, and implementing."
Just recently when the chefs of The Lion & Rose were asked who was interested in heading the new catering program Chef Diaz jumped at the opportunity. He told us that the best part of his job is being a part of the growth. "The more the company grows, the more I grow. By taking on the new catering program, I had a chance to develop my cooking skills even more." The Lion & Rose doesn't plan on taking baby steps either. With five successful stores opened in two different cities in just five short years there's no reason to hold back. The Lion & Rose concept was one the first of its kind in San Antonio, which paved the way for immediate expansion and a huge fan base.
In the coming months, Chef Diaz and his team plan to take on a number of different projects to ensure a solid presence in San Antonio and beyond. "We have five restaurants, a catering program, a brand new tea-time menu, we provide room service to a local hotel, we make deliveries, and we host events. On top of that we have a community that supports us because we have an owner that believes in supporting the community. He's very generous," Diaz told us.
The Lion & Rose supports a long list of organizations by giving charitable donations, hosting quarterly dinners for the Wounded Warriors of San Antonio, participating the yearly Renaissance Festival for St. Francis Church, supporting the Race for the Cure, and getting involved with sports teams across the state. It really is quite amazing how such a small team of dedicated foodservice professionals can take on so much. According to Chef Diaz, "You have to just get out of your comfort zone, step into the fire, and empower yourself. I personally kind of like the fire - it excites me. It works for me and for this business."
If you would like to visit The Lion & Rose British Restaurant & Pub or learn more about the venue, please visit their site at: http://www.thelionandrose.com/ or call 210.878.0034.
Thank you to Chef Diaz and his amazing team for their time and efforts.
If you know of a chef that you would like to see featured, please contact us at: email@example.com (210) 354-0690 ext. 243
One thought on "JUNE 2010 Chef Feature"
Its amazing the number of services that the Lion and Rose are performing. It sounds like a great way to leverage your resources and experience. I love the idea of providing room-service to a hotel. If you are already running a restaurant and can tag team this, you must gain some advantage from the volume, etc. Awesome.↓

Did you notice that this year's conference is having an online Family Finder? Instead of receiving a printed book when you register at the conference, we have put all the Family Finder data online.
What does that mean? It means you can search the Family Finder well in advance of the conference, contact the people you want to contact, and even arrange to meet them at the conference. No more need to scrounge through the material the night before the conference and then scramble all week to find someone you might be related to.
So if you're registered, go ahead and search for matches. If you're not registered, now is a good time to do so. If you didn't enter your family names, get on that so people can find you. And if you made any spelling errors, you can fix them now. (There are a few in there.) The Family Finder will be updated a couple more times before the conference begins, once more during or just after the conference (to be sure we include late registrations), and then not again until next year's conference is ready to replace the data with their attendees.
Only registered attendees can log in to the Family Finder and send messages to other attendees. You should have recently received an email with your login password again; it's the same one as your registration.
So head on over to the conference Family Finder and maybe find some potential cousins.
