text: John Travolta says Luton Airport is one of his favourite places The A-list actor reckons Luton is one of the best airports, as he flies to the UK for his birthday Comments Written By Radio Times Staff 11:28 AM, 17 February 2014 Qualified pilot John Travolta has travelled around the world to exotic places during his movie career, but it's a Bedfordshire airfield that gets the Hollywood star's heart racing. To celebrate his 60th birthday tomorrow, the Pulp Fiction star flew himself to Britain this week to attend a stage event being held tonight. "I like Luton, I do like Luton. Last time I was there [in Britain] I went to Luton – that's a good airport." Travolta got his wings 12 years ago, and now owns five planes including a large Boeing 707, which was formerly owned by Qantas. He had an interest in flying from a very young age, but claims it was the British who inspired him to learn how to fly. "It was the British who really inspired me," he said in interview with the Sunday People. "I felt they had aviation supremacy." "I just think the British have a real love, like I do, of aviation and transportation," he said to BBC Radio 2.

Interacting Effectively with International Students (LPC)
DePaul Teaching Commons
Friday, April 25, 2014 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (CDT)
International students bring unique and valuable perspectives to their university classrooms, but there may be barriers that prevent them from fully engaging in class. Faculty assume that the students are well prepared and familiar with U.S. academic culture, but may be surprised to find some students having difficulty with participating in class discussions, group work, presentations, written assignments or other common features of the U.S. classroom. International students may assume that a TOEFL score and an admission letter are sufficient gateways to success, and they often come from educational systems that are quite different in many ways from those in the United States.
This interactive workshop will address these questions: What assumptions do we make about international students and what they know about academic culture in the United States? What assumptions and expectations do international students bring with them? What linguistic, cultural and social challenges do international students face in and out of the classroom? What resources andsupport are available for international students? What are effective strategies that teachers can use to engage all students effectively?
Presented by Kevin Stevens (Business), Patrick Murphy (Business), Christina Gamino (Business), Hui Lin (Business), and Kathy Larson (English Language Academy).
Lunch will be provided.

Getting it Right – The Controversy, the Choice, the Results
It's a signal of a changing market when analysts and those reporting on key metrics utilize different definitions. Have you read the news of the death of the PC? How should one define a personal computer? I personally compute with the following systems: a personal laptop, a corporate-owned Ultrabook, a tablet, a smartphone and, occasionally, even through my TV and gaming system. And I'm not alone – 53% of global information workers use 3 or more devices for work. And I look forward to computing in the near future with compute capabilities that I will wear through glasses, bands, or my clothing.
Businesses have been struggling with how to implement corporate computing securely for a user base that is accustomed to personal computing. I make a distinction here, because I know of several companies, CIOs, and IT managers that would like to limit their users from installing new applications and personalizing their work systems. They say these actions add overhead to security management and compliance and increase risk. However, corporate end-users now expect to have the same privileges on a work system as they do their own personal systems. The corporate compute conundrum gets even more complex when you throw in BYOD, or wearable computers in the future.
But what is puzzling is that many of these same IT leaders and decision makers lump their servers into the count of total endpoints when they consider security solutions. Many utilize their end-user security solution to secure their servers. Yet servers provide so much more to an organization. Weigh the cost of lost business if one PC became corrupted against the loss if a server became unavailable for the same time period.
We have plenty of computing choices – from user-facing systems to the infrastructure-creating cloud and datacenter services. There is no post-PC era, there's only a multi-device, 'right tool for the job' era, as quoted by Ted Schadler, Forrester Research, for Forbes.com.
With its unique datacenter security solutions, McAfee secures a wide range of data center computing servers, including web servers, application servers, database servers, mail servers, and SharePoint servers. Review the results from SANS on this suite of products.
This year, McAfee will continue to simplify security and give IT the flexibility to provide the right fit for the right type of user-facing device. We will ensure that all your compute form factors will be reliably protected—and centrally managed.
It no longer matters how anyone defines a personal computer. Since corporate compute is happening on all types of personal computing devices, we are making it easy to protect all types of devices. McAfee will help you protect your business, regardless of the type of computer your business chooses to wear.

(from Hollywood Park notes)
Hollywood Turf Cup (gr. IT) winner Boboman, a disappointing fourth in the Californian (gr. II) in his last start June 2, came out of the race with an ankle injury and will undergo surgery this week, trainer Richard Mandella confirmed Wednesday.
"He will have a chip taken out here in a few days," said Mandella. "We found it last weekend."
Mandella estimated the 6-year-old horse would be sidelined for several months.
Boboman, a Wertheimer and Frere homebred by Kingmambo, has won four of 14 starts and earned more than $400,000. He finished third in both the Santa Anita Handicap (gr. I) and Oaklawn Handicap (gr. II) this year.
Ainamaa, scratched from the Honeymoon Breeders' Cup Handicap (gr. IIT) Saturday because of an ankle injury, also will undergo surgery for removal of a chip, according to trainer Ben Cecil.
"Dr. Ted Simpson and Dr. Joe Dowd will take a small chip out of her right front ankle today," said Cecil.
Ainamaa, a 3-year-old daughter of Lemon Drop Kid , won her last two starts on turf impressively.

Hampton school budget plan calls for small tax rate hike
Hampton Township School District school officials approved the proposed budget for the 2013-14 school year last week with an adjusted tax rate and slight millage increase.
School districts across the county are required to "reset" their tax rate to a revenue neutral millage to avoid a windfall of revenue from the county-wide reassessment, which for Hampton Township means a decrease from 21.35 mills to 17.27 mills.
The school district's $43.9 million budget currently includes a $661,675 deficit, which school board members voted to close by using $418,000 of the Public School Employees' Retirement System (PSERS) stabilization fund and a 0.16 mill increase over the adjusted 17.27 millage.
The proposed tax rate of 17.43 mills would equal a tax bill of $1,743 for a resident with a home assessed at $100,000, and $3,486 for a resident with a home assessed at $200,000.
"More people's taxes will increase or decrease because of the assessment and not our increase," said Jeff Kline, director of administrative services, of the less than 1 percent tax rate increase.
The school district would have had an overall budget decrease of $34,600 in part due to 19 employees taking advantage of an early retirement incentive and salary freezes in several of the district's collective bargaining agreements.
However, several costs increased, including the PSERS contribution rate, which increased by $960,000, an increase from 12.36 percent of payroll to 16.93 percent, and an anticipated 52 percent decrease in special education ACCESS funds, equal to $260,000, which the district now will have to fund.
School board president David Gurwin said district officials still have time to adjust the budgetary numbers before the board is required to vote on the final budget in June, which might be necessary because there still are 282 residential and commercial assessment appeals pending in Hampton Township that would affect the district's "revenue neutral" millage adjustment.
"The number may change slightly from this month to next month, but it's ball park," Gurwin said.

Johnny "Magic" Dadzie
The Harlem Rockets were very fortunate in signing Johnny "Magic" Dadzie, who looked quite impressive while trying out for the Connecticut Pride CBA team. This sensational, flamboyant and exciting young player is exactly what The Rockets were looking for to fill their point guard position.
Brig. Gen. George Mitchell, President/General Manager of The Rockets, was responsible for signing this outstanding blue chipper. In fact, The Harlem Globetrotters also expressed an interest in this electrifying player.
Dadzie is an outstanding dribbler, passer, penetrator, rebounder and an excellent scorer. In fact, this all-around player can do anything with the basketball, but make it talk.
Johnny Dadzie, at the age of 17, was selected to be a member of the Zimbabwe National Basketball Team. Two years later, he received a scholarship to attend Milligan, a small Christian college in northern Tennessee. At Milligen, he excelled in basketball and academics, and after two years transferred to Southern Illinois University, a Division One school where he started as point guard in his senior year. There, he averaged 10 points, five assists and five rebounds per game.
After graduating from Southern Illinois, he toured the Ukraine, New Zealand and South Africa with the Athletes in Action Basketball Team. He later played professionally in Israel, averaging 20 points, nine steals, and eight assists per game. His last tour with the team took him to Korea and New Zealand during the 1998-1999 season.
Johnny Dadzie, a born again Christian, is an outstanding student of the Bible, and has even had some experience delivering sermons. After his basketball days are over, Johnny plans to be a full-time minister.
Don't miss your next opportunity to attend a Harlem Rockets game – Johnny "Magic" Dadzie is worth the price of admission!

IT'S known as the most senior post in the town but Verwood's new mayor is just 23 years old.
Councillor Simon Gibson is thought to be the youngest ever mayor in Dorset and he says he aims to bring some "fun" throughout his next year in post. He took over the reins from Cllr Toni Coombs on Monday and has had a busy week visiting all the local schools to hand out mugs to commemorate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Speaking of his new role, Cllr Gibson said: "I was the youngest councillor for Verwood and now the youngest mayor.
"We believe I am the youngest mayor in Dorset.
"There are a lot of young people involved in the community with sports clubs or groups and this is just my way of getting involved in what is going on."
Cllr Gibson, who represents Stephen's Castle ward, joined Verwood Town Council in May 2007 when he was 18 to gain experience for his political studies. In recent years he has served on the Active Games for All steering committee and has taken a keen interest in Verwood becoming a Fairtrade town. In 2011 he was elected on to East Dorset District Council where he sits on the community committee and ethical governance committee.
Cllr Gibson says he has a number of personal aims during his time as Mayor.
"I would like to engage with those parts of the community that don't normally get reached as well as supporting my charities Julia's House and Woofability.
"I also want to make sure it is fun."
Cllr Gibson was born in Belfast but moved to Verwood with his parents Mark and Heather and identical twin brother Carl when he was 11.
The Emmanuel Middle School and QE school pupil studied politics at A-level, which gave him a passion for local and national government.
He later went to Loughborough University to study politics but stopped to pursue his council work.
He hopes to complete the degree some time in the future.
When he is not serving his parishioners, Cllr Gibson works behind the bar and in the restaurant at Crane Valley Golf Club in Verwood.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study investigates new non-invasive imaging techniques for the evaluation of skin lesions, as well as normal skin. Our primary goal is to collect and study these images of different skin lesions along with matching biopsy specimens. The long-term goal is to develop a technique that will improve the early detection of skin cancer and eliminate the need for many skin biopsies.
The integrated handheld CSLM-OCT device will provide the first truly co-registered images of en face "optical section" planes (confocal) with orthogonal "optical section" planes (OCT).
The imaging with a polarization-sensitive hyper-spectral dermoscope (SkinSpect) will add to the interpretation of CLSM images. SkinSpect will produce tissue-level functional data (i. e., skin chromophore maps of melanin and hemoglobin) in larger fields of view, which will be combined with the cellular-level detail from CLSM imaging. The combined approach will be tested for more accurate detection of skin morphologic characteristics.

Ratings for Dr. Sean MacKey
Excellent doctor. Knows his subject and material and is always willing to help. He recognizes the pain and suffering his patients are going through and tries to help them best manage their pain. Highly recommend!
Over 2 hours late, waiting for a complete idiotic excuse of a physician. I might as well go to disneyland & wait 2 hours in line, at least I would get something out of it. Arrogant, annoying & pathetic. It is clear how insecure he is, because I waited 2 hours to listen to this idiot compliment himself repeatedly & talk about things that had no relevance in the appointment. He is a waste of time. I wouldn't take my son's hamster to him.
At the Stanford Pain Clinic the patient is seen first by an intern, then the resident. Dr. Mackey gracefully reversed the decision of his intern giving me access to treatment that has eliminated the headaches I'd suffered for 30 years. I first saw him in 2002. He extends every effort to make clinic visits easier. He listens closely and responds with practical solutions. Mackey is also positive and friendly--unnecessary attributes in a physician.
Mackey is a completely arrogant and rude person. He just does not give you the right gut feeling the second you meet him. I have no respect for him and would rather be treated by the spine center there than the pain clinic. Stay away from him
I second the previous patient's opinion. Mackey is extremely arrogant. He was 3 hours late to see me. He is extremely demeaning to patients and I experienced it first hand. He does not seem to know anything about pain interventions and just wants to sell his psycho babble. My father is a psychiatrist and he was in the room with me and sat quiet the whole time and when we left he was just floored at how arrogant a doctor can be. He does indeed focus more on showing off in front of the fellow that was in the room examining me and he is consumed with himself. He is single handedly the most arrogant doctor that I or my father is in his 25 years of psychiatry have seen. DO NOT SEE HIM. That Stanford Pain clinic is run by Mackey and if he is a representation of what a compassionate pain management doctor is, I would rather suffer.

Why is the term applied to anchises and to his son neas, but never to Priam, or to his son Hector, or to any of his family?
When he reached home the first person whom he saw was anchises his father.
The cases of anchises and neas may indeed be treated on grounds of their own.
The sacrifice done, I joyfully tell anchises, and relate all in order.
That ally was his father anchises, and the part which Aeneas performed in the alliance was to carry his ally upon his back.'
Zeus was required to bring about the adventure with anchises.
There was one anchises, a twice five-fingered Trojan, that (as old stories say) used to thrum her jacket.
The wanderings and adventures of neas, son of anchises, were fashioned into a lordly epic by Virgil for the Romans.
It is usual to fix the finishing of the temple of Hercules at Tyre on this day, and the death of anchises, 183 years earlier.
She vanishes: day dawns: and Æneas, with anchises and the surviving Trojans, flees to the hills (901-972).

WSJ Takes Gold Bashing to Unseen Heights- Calls Gold 'TOXIC'
Apparently Jon Nadler changed his name to Jack Hough over the weekend.
We're placing this one directly into the Hall of Shame.
The WSJ has elevated its gold bashing rhetoric to new unseen heights. We must be closer to collapse that even we believed.
Quotes from the MOPE piece bashing gold:
Gold defies efforts to calculate its worth—or even to describe how it behaves as an investment. That means there isn't a clear reason to invest in it.
If you must own some gold to sleep better, stick with a multivitamin approach: A little bit won't hurt. A lot can prove toxic.
Gold lost money for 20 years
Treasury bonds are the real safe haven
Gold suffers from a multiple personality disorder
How much is gold really worth? Gold doesn't generate any cash, it costs something to store it!
For investors who have to have some gold exposure, forget Krugerrands, buy your wife some expensive jewelry
Berkshire's Charlie Munger: 'Gold is for 1930's Jews, Civilized People Don't Buy Gold'
Somewhere, Warren Buffett's father Howard Buffett, the 4-term Congressman from Nebraska who was a strong proponent of gold and silver as constitutional money, is rolling in his grave.
Charlie Munger, the Vice Chairman for his son Warren's Berkshire Hathaway, delivered this beaut today in an interview with CNBC regarding his thoughts on gold:
"I think gold is a great thing to sew onto your garments if your a Jewish family in Vienna in 1939 but I think CIVILIZED people don't buy gold"
Forget the traditional 'barbaric relic' and 'you can't eat gold' bashing, the anti-gold rhetoric has now reached its moral nadir.
Munger's CNBC interview below:
Paul Krugman Says Quantitative Easing is Austerity
And now we have seen it all.
After being embarrassed earlier in the week in his live debate with Ron Paul, Paul Krugman has gone a step further and fallen off the deep end.
In an interview with CNN Money, Krugman argues that Bernanke and his friends at the Fed have not been goosing the economy with funny money STIMULUS also known as quantitative easing…they have been conducting AUSTERITY.
"It's a funny thing, what we've actually done is not stimulus, but austerity..The heart of it is that we really need to reverse this misguided austerity of the past couple of years"
Krugman actually lets the D word slip during the interview, and argues that the US needs to reverse austerity measures and massively stimulate the economy to pull it out of depression. But…but…Paul! Timmah has already welcomed us to the recovery!!
Somewhere, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are nearing 9,000 RPM's in their graves. Full idiocy below:
Barron's Releases Massive Silver Propaganda Hit Piece
Barron's, the financial magazine infamous among gold bugs for its incessant bashing of the metal, has changed tactics, and decided to release an all-out hit piece on silver, which is by far the most intentionally misleading
article propaganda on silver we have ever seen.
The piece contains phrases such as 'silver bites people, it's nasty', 'don't be seduced into thinking that silver is about to shine again anytime soon', 'Silver's charms are fading–and so are chances of a quick silver comeback', and comes with a headline intended to keep the Average Joe away: 'Beware: Silver Can Bite!'
Lest investors remain unsure of Barron's bias, they are informed that 'signs abound that silver's best days are behind it', and then fed a bevy of misleading data intending to steer investors clear of silver.
Frankly, this is a bullish sign, as it reeks of desperation among the banksters and elite.
Got silver!?!
MSM Epic Fail: Restaurant Owner Gladly Accepts Gold for 3 Lobster Rolls
MSM attempts to demonstrate that gold is not a currency, hilarity ensues.
ReutersTV blogger Felix Salmon set out to duplicate Mark Dice's famous video attempting to purchase a taco with an ounce of gold- with the intention of 'proving' that gold is not a currency.
After successfully being turned down by a beer delivery guy (since when do beer delivery guys sell a 24 pack to a stranger who walks up while they're unloading their truck??), Walgreens, and ToysRUs, the experiment suddenly goes horribly wrong at a local food vendor, when the owner gladly accepts the gram of gold as payment for 3 lobster rolls.
Reuters pretends the embarrassment never occurred, titling the vid: Will a gold bar buy a case of beer?

Home > World News > Article
Malaysia's Prime Minister, Abdullah Badawi, appealed for a landslide victory to endorse his reformist leadership as millions of Malaysians voted in national and state elections yesterday.
Mr Abdullah, who succeeded the veteran prime minister Mahathir Mohamad five months ago, said the ruling Barisan National coalition needed a strong mandate to back his campaign to fight corruption.
"I'm quite confident. I expect a bigger majority, God willing," he said after voting with his wife in his home state of Penang.
The United Malays National Organisation, which dominates the coalition, is considered certain to maintain the unbroken grip on power it has held since Malaysia achieved its independence from Britain in 1957.
But analysts said Mr Abdullah needed to reverse big gains made by Pan Islam SeMalaysia (PAS) in the last election, in 1999.
More than 10 million registered voters are contesting 202 national parliamentary seats and 493 seats in 12 state assemblies. Voting began at 8 am yesterday. The election commissioner, Abdul Rashid, said voter turnout was estimated at about 80 per cent and no reports of electoral offences had been received by mid- afternoon. Voting is not compulsory.
The ruling coalition, which holds two-thirds of seats in the national parliament despite a strong swing against its candidates in 1999, has already secured 17 national and 12 state seats that were not contested by the opposition when nominations closed.
PAS - which wants an Islamic state despite Malaysia's multi-ethnic constitution - is seeking to expand its control of the northern states of Kelantan and Terengganu and extend its representation in the federal assembly.

Learning Disabilities Association of Kentucky
The Learning Disabilities Association of Kentucky, Inc.(LDA) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization that has been in existence for over 45 years. It was established in 1966 and has had a charter under four different names. The current name has been in effect since 1990.
The organization was originally brought about to provide counseling and support for families that needed advice about their children's different learning styles. Our extensive lending library and a video/audio rental service has been the standard for information in this area for years. However, the advent of the information age has made it so that LDA has had to branch out into tutoring and seminars in order to maintain service and visibility for this area. However, we still maintain a large inventory of materials on learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia and related subjects.
LDA provides many of its services at no charge to families, children, adults, and professionals who work with learning differences, such as attention deficit disorder and hyperactivity. It provides educational programs and services such as monthly support groups, self-esteem training, and academic enrichment programs. LDA has a lending library, information on learning differences, and video rental. LDA also offers Professional Development Seminars . It is an affiliate of LDA of America.
The mission of LDA is to bring individuals together and work to improve conditions for those with learning differences, to share knowledge, disseminate information, provide programs, and seek to affect policies related to learning differences.
LDA maintains a large inventory of materials on learning disabilities, including a lending library and a video/audio rental service. In addition, information on our website and support groups are available.

Since journalists constantly mix-up his name with Dean McDermott's, the 'Dark Blue' star often got concerned calls from relatives regarding what should be Dean's issues.
TV star Dylan McDermott has been fielding concerned phone calls from friends and family since Tori Spelling married fellow actor Dean McDermott - because journalists constantly mix-up their names. The "Dark Blue" star was first mistaken for the Canadian actor when Dean eloped with Spelling to the Fiji Islands in 2006 - and Dylan's pals were calling non-stop to ask if he had been seeing her in secret.
The issue came up again in June when Dean was hospitalized with a punctured and collapsed lung after a horrific dirt biking accident in Los Angeles. Now whenever Spelling's husband makes the news, Dylan prays reporters get their facts straight so he doesn't have to deal with worried relatives.
He says, "That (the dirt bike accident) was Dean McDermott. They confuse me sometimes with Dean McDermott. I got concerned calls when they got married and they thought it was me. It was concern, there were concerned calls."

Should you limit your cups of coffee?
There seems to be a constant stream of health rules we're supposed to follow, but how many do we really need to abide by? Amy Brightfield of Better Homes and Gardens and Dr. Steven Lamm of NYU Medical Center quiz the TODAY anchors on which rules are true and which have a little wiggle room.

My hair always feels so much healthier after switching to a new shampoo, even if it's just a different formula from the same company. I've long enjoyed the clean, fresh scent of Nature's Gate Moisturizing Aloe Vera Shampoo. However, that favorite is looking to be replaced by their Awapuhi Volumizing Shampoo. It's simply delicious… the sweetest smelling shampoo I've come across.
Nature's Gate is "committed to using pure, sustainably harvested herbs, fruits and essential oils, without animal-derived ingredients, to enhance the overall health and wellbeing of our customers and our planet."
I've been a fan of their products for years. The only hesitation I've ever had was in the price, so now I buy in bulk when it's on sale. This is generally every 6 weeks or so at my local Sprouts and I can usually find it for a significant price reduction.
One of the main reasons why I choose Nature's Gate is their use of Certified Organic botanicals in their formulas. All farmed without using harmful pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and others synthetic chemicals. They even minimize their use of fossil fuels in transportation by using a local organic farm in Biggs, California, Bayliss Ranch. This local ranch uses water from runoff and rain in its operations from the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains.
From Nature's Gate
Nature's Gate Awapuhi Shampoo gently cleanses while helping add fullness to fine, limp hair. An array of stimulating and nourishing botanicals including Awapuhi, also known as Hawaiian White Ginger, is combined with our 7 Healthy Hair Nutrients to revive and volumize hair. Gentle enough for everyday use, this invigorating shampoo leaves hair full of body and bounce.
Exclusive healthy hair blend includes Panthenol, Soy Proteins, Vegetable Proteins, Jojoba Oil, Borage Flower Seed Oil, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
Awapuhi, Horsetail and Hops help add body to hair
- Soap Bark delivers gentle cleansing benefits
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5) and Soy Proteins strengthen hair
- Vegetable Proteins condition and moisturize, helping to reduce the appearance of split ends
Why Buy Organic Skin Care?
The skin is the largest organ of the body. Although it's used as a protective layer it has the potential for absorbing many toxins and chemicals. This is why I choose to buy organic, or at least natural, skin care products whenever possible. This includes lotions and sunscreens. Take a look at the labels on your skin care products to learn what you are using.
Awapuhi Shampoo Smells Amazing
After this first wash I am definitely thinking about switching to the Awapuhi Shampoo and Awapuhi Conditioner. It smells delicious. It's a refreshingly sweet smelling shampoo that makes you hungry. It's similar to the smell of a Jolly Rancher. Since I've only just begun using this new combination I'll need to do further testing before making my decision. Stick around for my full review of the Nature's Gate Awapuhi Shampoo and Conditioner.

The curve that is already present would have lent itself to, or may even explain, the appearance of reflexed horse bows on the Great Plains. Just a though I had today.

sar·casm (sär'kăz'əm)
1-A cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound.
2-A form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic
3-language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule.
4-The use of sarcasm. See synonyms at wit1.
[Late Latin sarcasmus, from Greek sarkasmos, from sarkazein, to bite the lips in rage, from sarx, sark-, flesh.]
note number one, intended to wound, I read somewhere it originally meant stripping the flesh.
I guess I'll think twice before I employ this again!

The analysis suggests that over the next 50 years, the geographical centre of trade will continue to shift from OECD to non-OECD regions reflecting faster growth in non-OECD countries.
Structural transformation towards a more knowledge-based economy will strengthen Spain's medium-term growth prospects. To deal with long standing impediments to higher growth the government has a substantial structural reform programme touching on education, the labour market and the business environment.
Policy efforts to revitalise entrepreneurship and investment in Spain are key to generating growth and new jobs. The government has a substantial reform program to make it easier to do business in Spain, which should in some cases be deepened. Boosting economic growth requires a new generation of high-growth companies and that resources flow towards the most productive firms.
Many studies on household energy efficiency investments suggest that a wide range of seemingly profitable investments are not taken up. This paper provides novel evidence on the main factors behind consumer choices using the OECD Survey on Household Environmental Behaviour and Attitudes.
Despite large and growing investments in knowledge and innovation, productivity growth in many countries has slowed in recent years. At the same time, the urgent need for more rapid innovation (including its uptake and diffusion) in several key areas, such as in environment. This joint OECD-NBER workshop on 25-26 September 2014 will bring together academic experts to consider these challenges.
Turkey's business sector dynamism has underpinned broad-based and inclusive growth in the 2000s. However, the business sector is highly segmented, with a relatively small core of modern high-productivity corporations, and myriad small, less formal and low-productivity entities.
The Korean government has made fostering a "creative economy" a top priority. The goal is to shift Korea's economic paradigm to one based on innovation in which new start-ups and venture businesses play a key role.
This paper presents a productivity growth measure that explicitly accounts for natural capital as an input factor and for undesirable goods, or "bads", as an output of the production process.
A creative economy requires innovation-friendly conditions. Korea's innovation system should be improved by upgrading universities and expanding their role in business R&D, while increasing international collaboration in R&D from its current low level.
Income and earning inequality has been on the rise in most of the OECD and in many emerging economies since the 1980s. This paper estimates a model of earnings inequality across OECD countries that incorporates determinants of relative demand and supply of more and less-skilled labour.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has just released three new contract documents that reflect the evolving roles and responsibilities of all parties working to bring design and construction projects to completion.
To help create a collaborative relationship among the parties involved in a design and construction project using the integrated project delivery (IPD) model, the AIA has developed C191-2009, Standard Form Multi-Party Agreement for Integrated Project Delivery. C191-2009 is designed to assist in the execution of one coordinated and integrated agreement that clearly identifies each party's role and responsibilities under the IPD model by providing a framework in which the parties are not required to form an LLC.
According to the AIA, C191-2009 was developed to support new collaborative project delivery methods that many architects, owners, and contractors are practicing. Under the multi-party agreement, each individual's success is tied directly to the project's success, establishing a collaborative management structure and encouraging parties to work in the best interests of the project and resolve issues and disputes as they arise.
AIA's new B108-2009, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for a Federally Funded or Federally Insured Project was developed in partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to more effectively address these agencies' needs by including provisions for cost estimating, compensation, and other issues specific to these types of projects. B108-2009 is an update to AIA's B181-1994, Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Architect for Housing Services.
Also, the AIA has released B202-2009, Standard Form of Architect's Services: Programming, setting out an architect's scope of programming services. The document is a standard form that can be modified as necessary by the owner and architect; it is not a stand-alone document, however, and must be incorporated into an owner-architect agreement.
These new contract documents became available November 3 and will be included in the latest AIA Contract Documents software update to current AIA Contract Documents customers. Visit www.aia.org/contractdocs for details.

Beautiful resortPosted Mar 1, 2017
Our trip was very nice. Hotel small but lots of activity. All staff very helpful. Food was fabulous. Our one complaint being that we had paid additional money to upgrade to an ocean view room when we booked. VERY disappointed when we were told the room we were in was an ocean view room when all we had was a view of pool, snack hut & palm trees. All the ocean visible from our balcony was between the palm trees

Had a great stay and would go back in a hearbeatPosted Mar 30, 2015
We loved our time here. The staff was better than any other place we have ever stayed. Refreshing our drinks and bringing new ones before we even asked. The beach is beautiful although the swimming area is not the best, but for sitting on the beach and enjoying the ocean it can't be beat. Not too much activity at night or over all for that matter, but if you are looking to relax and be taken care of, this is the place to go

My brother's wedding was gorgeous!Posted Apr 13, 2011
Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet, right on the ocean!, i could live here!
My younger brother got married on the beach here. The wedding couldn't have been more beautiful and peaceful. We even had onlookers tell us after the ceremony that it was "the best weddingof the entire week!" Also, the carribean setting provided a great opportunity for amazing photos! The staff was pleasant, accomidating, and respectful of our privacy. This was my first trip to Mexico, and I would love to return someday! Thank you!

Amazing in every way!Posted May 17, 2010
This place was amazing! I am a young adult and went with my family. When we first got there our travel reservations were messed up no fault of the palace and they were quick to fix the problem. They treated us with respect and kindness from the minute we stepped into the hotel. The rooms were well kept everyday and the dining was excellent. They had buffets throughout the day as well as room service with at no extra charge. Each nice they had something to do for the kids and some form of entertainment. They are located on end of the island and you have to travel about 10 min to get into town but the privacy and quiet is nice after a long day of excitement. There was a specific younger employee that was in charge of the activites for the day and was specifically there to help entertain the kids and he was a joy to play beach volleyball and water polo with! The view of the beach was beautiful and even though I didnt pay for our family trip we all thought it was worth the money. We are planning on going back to the palace resorts and considering going back specifically to Isla Mujeres Palace!!

Sait ElsewherePosted Feb 21, 2010
Rooms are great, beach is ok, the night life is na. Then there is the service I have had far better at any other resort that was cheaper. Dinner were good if you excluded service but the breakfast and lunch food was substandard when compared
by A traveler
Look CarefullyPosted Jan 17, 2010
My girlfriend and I just came back from this hotel 1/14/2010. The staff was superb in ALL respects. It was mostly quiet except we specifically booked the "concierge" level which was adults only and was of course more money. The first morning we were there,we were awoken by screams of little kids in the next room and when I mentioned this to the front dest they said they were sorry but did nothing to remedy the situation.This continued for the whole time we were there.There is not a lot to do here but thats the way we wanted it. We ordered fish a couple of times and both times it was grossly over cooked ,so stay with the steak. The buffets at breakfast and lunch were just fair. Go with room service ,you get freshly cooked food and more variety as well. I do not think its worth the money to stay there again.

Excellent experiencePosted Oct 4, 2009
My wife and I have traveled extensively in Mexico and have never expierienced the quality of this resort! The staff were very attentive with only 14 guests staying the week we were there. The food was excellent the entertainment staff went out of theyre way to make sure we had a good time, the rooms were clean and had great views of the ocean. We brought our children with us one is fifteen and one is seven they said that it was the best vacation they had ever taken. The trip from the airport to the resort is actually quite enjoyable if you plan it correctly, We used a tour company that picked us up at the airport and drove us to the ferry terminal,crossed on the ferry and grabbed a cab at the terminal to the hotel all of wich you can book online and total time from airport to hotel was only about 35 minutes. We have stayed at other resorts in Mexico and the Carribean and we have never been treated so nice the staff at this resort are very proffesional and courteous we all decided that we are definately going back!!!

Planned Well, Awesome TripPosted Dec 7, 2008
I studied this resort well before booking, I read about the Island too. I have to say if you are looking for a typical get away and just relax resort this is a perfect one!! Awesome staff, good food, clean, resort right on the ocean. Not much entertainment at night, so if you are looking for lots of partying and going wild maybe Cancun would be a better option for you. Its a pretty brand new resort so its developing! I was excited because being there I learned we had a complimentary 2 free day activities from the resort, 1 was snorkling (which was unbelievable, just fantastic,) and the 2nd one was 2 hour tour around the island on the boat and we get to swim in the ocean, very nicely organized both trips. If you choose Isla Mujeres make sure you do take care of your transportation details, that is very important, because once you land in Cancun a bus should take you to the Marinas and from there a ferry to the island and from there a taxi to the resort. But that can all be arranged for you through the resort. I had it taken care of through Elite Tours.

- Wed Oct 15, 2014, 4:11 AM GMT
The teen-skewing network is developing a period drama set in New York based on the 2006 film.READ MORE
A supernatural mystery that combines romance, politics and magic, "The Illusionist" is the latest film from the producers of the Oscar winners "Crash" and "Sideways." The film stars Academy Award nominees Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti as two men pitted against each other in a battle of wits: Norton as mysterious stage magician Eisenheim, and Giamatti as Vienna's shrewd Chief Inspector Uhl, with Jessica Biel sharing the screen as the beautiful Sophie von Teschen.
When word of Eisenheim's astounding illusions reaches the powerful and pragmatic Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell), the ruler attends one of the magician's shows in order to debunk Eisenheim during the performance. But when the Prince's intended, Sophie von Teschen, assists the magician onstage, Eisenheim and Sophie recognize each other from their childhoods--and a dormant love affair is rekindled. As the clandestine romance continues, Uhl is charged by Leopold to intensify his efforts to expose Eisenheim, even while the magician gains a devoted and vocal public following. With Uhl doggedly searching for the reasons and the man behind the trickery, Eisenheim prepares to execute his greatest illusion yet.
"The Illusionist" is written and directed by Neil Burger, and features top-notch production values, including a haunting score by master contemporary composer Philip Glass.

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is a Council of Governments (COG) that serves as the regional agency for the metropolitan Phoenix area.
MAG is the regional air quality planning agency and Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for transportation for all jurisdictions in Maricopa County, including the Phoenix urbanized area and the contiguous urbanized area in Pinal County, including the Town of Florence and City of Maricopa.
MAG provides regional planning and policy decisions in areas of transportation, air quality, water quality, and human services. When MAG was formed in 1967, local elected officials recognized the need for long range planning and policy development on a regional scale. They realized that many issues such as transportation and air quality affected residents beyond the borders of their individual jurisdictions.
MAG was founded in the spirit of cooperation. MAG members believe that by uniting, they can solve common problems, take an active role in long range regional issues and address concerns that affect all of the communities.

Educational Programs
No single major is exclusively appropriate for pre-law students. Students should choose a single major that interests them and requires intensive reading, critical thinking, and writing. Traditionally, majors in English and the various Social sciences have been the choices of a majority of pre-law students. However, in increased numbers students in Philosophy, Languages, Mathematics and Natural Sciences have chosen to pursue advanced studies in the Law, Following the guidelines of the American Association of Law Schools (AALS) the Moravian Pre-Law program does not recommend a particular major to students who wish to go to law school or pursue law as a career. However, the College has identified certain areas of study and course work to assist students in their preparation for future legal studies and help students focus his or her thoughts about the future. Students considering law school are encouraged to take the following courses if they wish to improve their chances of success in obtaining entrance to law school and becoming productive members of the legal profession. Some of these courses may also be used to fulfill the Learning in Common requirements.
|English 211
|Creative Nonfiction (or equivalent course)
|Philosophy 211
|Symbolic Logic
|A minimum of three courses from the following set:
|Accounting 157
|Financial Accounting
|Economics 152
|Principles of Economics
|Economics 330
|Public Finance
|History 243
|The U.S. 1815-1877
| Management/
Sociology 226
|The Legal Environment of Business
|Political Science 130
|The First Amendment
| Political Science/
Sociology 220
|American Constitutional Law
| Political Science/
Sociology 221
|Congress and the Presidency
|Political Science 225
|Congress and the Presidency
|Sociology 216
|The Legal System
It also is suggested that pre-law students choose Latin to fulfill the foreign language requirement (LinC F3), though it is recognized that not all students will find it possible or practicable to do so.
A student interested in the pre-law program should speak with the pre-law advisor, James J. Ravelle, as soon as possible. The pre-law advisor will be glad to answer any questions about the program or general preparation for law school.

How To Choke Down a Dog
I know that by posting on this subject I open myself up for some grief, but I feel some important information needs to be shared. People need to know what to do when a dog attacks and has a grip. It does no good to try to pry the jaws apart. If the dog is wearing a collar, jam a stick through it and twist the stick to choke the dog until it becomes unconscious. If there is no stick use your hand, you may break one or two fingers but keep pressure on until you feel the dog release its grip.
If there is no collar, pull off your belt or a woman can use her bra and quickly tie it around the dog's neck.
Now this part is important too - you must kill the dog or it will attack again the moment it regains it's breath. I do not recommend using a gun in a place of turmoil, bullets can ricochet, the shooter can be jostled. Use a tire iron or hammer and crush the dog's skull.
No question it is far better to prevent attacks in the first place.

Great stats, Brian. Wow, you spend alot of time with this, thank you!!
My vote is Louuuuuuuuuuuuuu has a great 2nd, we will be atleast the 5th seed. If Lou does not, .......
I expect Miller to be himself and Ivy continue to perform which both seem consistent. But we need Lou to take over the shooting.
If Lou can get his 3pt% back up to 35-36% he could have a monster second half. Keep your fingers crossed.
Oh, forgot, I would like to see Rush and Green be twins on the bench in suits with a new face on the bench.
I'd love to see Green on someone else's bench, ideally. :)
I still think the best long term move is to move Miller - but right now I'd have to say they won't unless the reintegration of Brand is a disaster of the scale of 'holy crap we signed him but now we have to trade him for 50 cents on the dollar'
At this point, it would take an absolutely horrible stretch between now and the trade deadline to get the Sixers to move Miller in a deal that didn't get them a legit replacement back. Probably something like 4-8 in the 12 games, maybe worse. They have 9 games at home and only 3 on the road over that stretch.
Combine that with the fact that I don't think Sam would net more than Diop did for the Mavs and I"m kind of sad...
Sam's a much better player than Diop. Even when you take the contracts into account, Sam's more valuable. And he's actually playing well enough now to raise his stock, so stop talking smack about him (just in case there's a GM from another team reading this). :)
I think Lou can and already has begun to improve from his poor start. He had a hell of a game against Dallas. Miller - I expect more of the same, which is solid but not quite excellent. Ivey needs to continue to earn more playing time. Any others are irrelevant.
They're only irrelevant if their minutes get cut. Willie's playing at least twice as many minutes as he should be on an NBA team, that needs to be rectified.
Well technically you can't double zero
Just heard Lou Williams on WIP (8:30pmish). He stated that both him and Iggy (in so many words) were trying to hard at first due to their contracts and wanting to earn them. He further stated that they are excited in the lockerroom and are all hoping for a year or so to just play together w/out any big trades. I have mixed feelings as I was hoping Sammy and Willie would be gone, otherwise I was upbeat after hearing him talk. Any thoughts....
Well - Lou Williams isn't going to call anyone out on the air - it just creates derision and discord in the locker room I would think. Plus - I've always found 'player input' on trades is usually a bad idea for most GMs
Actually, it's refreshing to hear a guy admit the contract was an issue. Usually, they'll deny that to the grave.
I wouldn't put any weight at all into the play together w/out any big trades talk. I doubt any players have any input into trades. I mean, Lou could be the one to go if they make a deal.
Fyi, I realize that the players don't determine the team. Was just trying to put in writing what I recall him saying. He seemed upbeat, team was excited and feel that they will continue to improve. I think his point was about no trades was that since he has been there it has been major changes and think, in his opinion, would help them continue to improve quicker. That was his opinion, not necessarily mine. As I stated, I think Sammy and Willie need to go......
Yep. Good to hear him being upbeat. I even heard an upbeat comment from Sammy last week, something along the lines of, "If I'm only going to be playing 20 minutes/game, I need to do the most possible in those 20 minutes." Which isn't something I ever expected to hear come out of his mouth.
Brian, thanks for taking the time to outline the stats. As a whole, I think the Sixers team played a shade below expectations but have not been the monumental bust some make them out to be. Have you seen the espn.com article on biggest disappointmnets this year? Many of the so-called experts picked the Sixers for that distinction. I wrote my take on it here: http://heardinthecheapseats.com/ but would be curious to hear your thoughts.
Last year the sixers were under estimated - a lot - and all the experts had them as one of the worst teams in the league - and of course they considered last seasons sub 500 playoff appearance a 'success' and 'over achievement' (except for one david berri)...this year they went to the other extreme - i figure if someone works for ESPN it automatically disqualifies them from being an expert
Not one mention of Toronto in that disappointment article. Surprising.
That's a good point Brian, that one completely slipped my mind. A team that finished at .500 last year, has a premier player in the frontcourt with Chris Bosh and added Jermaine O'Neal to the mix surely should be thought of as a disappointment with a 19-27 record.
That presumes you thought o'neal and bosh would work - many didn't -and o'neals injury history made it worrisome as well - i thought the raptors would be 2nd ahead of the sixers
But did anyone really think they'd be worse w/ JO instead of TJ Ford? I mean, it's not like Ford was exactly durable, so even if you assume J.O. played the same number of games as Ford last year, you still have to consider that an upgrade for the team, right?
I don't get why people think JO was great/is average. He is a very bad NBA player at this point in his career and has been for a long time.
Ford on the other hand is average or above average.
They miss Delfino and Rasho more than anyone thinks I would argue. They lack depth so much it is embarrassing.
By any standard, he was very good two seasons ago. When he's played this season, he's been above average. The problem w/ him is that he's never healthy.
T.J. Ford was above average the past two seasons, barely above average so far this season, but he's also injury prone. Given equal time on the court for each, O'Neal fills more of a void for the Raptors. Although, they probably wish they had Ford right about now, considering the injuries Calderon (which I think is the main reason for their terrible record, and my fantasy team's plummet as well).

Bacon, Thomas Honored by COBRA Magazine
Liberty's Karyl Bacon and Loren Thomas were recognized by COBRA Magazine, a publication that celebrates the success of volleyball players of African descent.
Bacon, a senior outside hitter, was named to the All-East Region team, while Thomas, a sophomore middle blocker, earned an honorable mention.
Bacon recently wrapped a successful collegiate career as the first player in program history to be a part of four Big South regular-season championship teams. The 2010 all-conference first team honoree also became the ninth player in Liberty history to join the 1,000/1,000 Club, as she concluded her career with 1,155 kills and 1,472 digs.
The 5-6 Temecula, Calif. native was also a member of the 2010 Big South All-Academic team, the 2010 Big South Championship all-tournament team and the ESPN Academic All-District second team in her final season as a Lady Flame.
Thomas, a 2010 all-conference second team honoree, ended her sophomore campaign leading the team and ranking No. 4 in the Big South with a .309 attack percentage. She also ranked third in the conference with a .360 hitting percentage against conference opponents.
The 2010 COBRA awards mark the first time members of the Liberty volleyball program have been honored by the magazine.

In a lot of ways, megapixels aren't that important. You'll never be able to detect the difference between an 8-megapixel and a 12-megapixel photo when looking at the picture on a computer screen, for example, because your monitor only shows about 1 or 2 megapixels of information anyway. So unless you're making poster-sized prints or doing a lot of deep zooming and cropping, who cares how many pixels there are?
The Value of Pixels
If you take a high-resolution photo, there's a lot of detail locked away in your image. You can zoom in and get a good look at minutiae in the background, for example. It's fun to see how much you can enlarge the image and still see somewhat sharp, meaningful visuals that you never noticed when you took the photo to begin with.
Unfortunately, few people ever get to see those subtle details. When you share a photo in e-mail or online, you generally need to shrink the image down to a manageable size, throwing away most of those pixels in the process. What might have been a few thousand pixels of unexamined action way in the background gets reduced to a dozen indistinct pixels. Even if you print the photo, it's still too small to really appreciate all the detail that's locked into the original photo.
Closr Unlocks Your Details
Recently, though, I stumbled across a free Web site that helps to address this problem. Closr lets you upload your photos in all their original, full-resolution glory. 8 megapixels? 10? 20? No problem--the only limit is that the file must be under 100MB, which isn't a problem since even a 12-megapixel photo is typically only about 3MB or 4MB.
Because you can upload such large photos, Closr is also a great way to show off enormous panoramic photos made by stitching together several high-megapixel images. I have panoramas that are 20 and 30 megabytes in size, and Closr accepted them without a hiccup.
To use Closr, you'll need to register with a screen name, e-mail, and password. Then upload a photo, and you'll see something like the screen shown on the left.
Once uploaded, your photo appears in a "widget" on the Web site, which you can use to pan around and zoom in to see some of the details that your many-megapixel camera captured. The real magic happens when you go full screen. Click the icon in the very upper right corner of the widget (with the plus sign) and the photo will go full screen, where you can zoom in and pan around without the somewhat claustrophobic frame of the small gadget. This is an especially great mode for viewing panoramas, in fact.
Sharing Closr Photos
You can share your uploaded photos by sending the URL in e-mail. If you have a Web site or blog, you can embed the widget. Copy the script at the bottom of the page and you'll get something like what you see on the right.
That's not a static image; the widget is interactive, so you can click in the picture and drag it around or use the zoom buttons for a better view. You can see it in action by visiting my blog and playing with it yourself.
I could complain that Closr doesn't really take full advantage of the resolution in your photos. You can only zoom in a bit, which is disappointing when I know there's a lot more detail locked away in the photo. But it's free, and it's a good start.

A ROSS-on-Wye councillor has been chosen as the Conservative parliamentary candidate for Wrexham.
Andrew Atkinson said he will remain as a Ross councillor up until the election in May, but he could not pass the opportunity of representing his home town.
"Wrexham is my home town and I want to stand for it," said Cllr Atkinson.
"It has a lot going for it, but there are also a lot of issues as well.
"I was asked to stand and I have gone through the process."
Cllr Atkinson moved to Ross five years ago and settled with his wife Anwen and children Jacob, five, and Noah, three.
He said that he is proud of what he has achieved in the town.

Under a heady ride from Javier Castellano, Hard Not to Like pulled a 13-1 upset in the $300,000 Jenny Wiley Stakes (gr. IT) and earned her first win at the top level April 12 at Keeneland (VIDEO).
Entering the stretch in seventh, the 5-year-old Hard Spun mare was gamely angled over to inside, where she stormed up the rail. Overtaking battling front-runners Discreet Marq and Centre Court in the closing strides, she scored by a half length. In a tight photo for places, Discreet Marq outfinished Abaco by a nose for second. Emotional Kitten was a head back back in fourth, with defending Jenny Wiley winner Centre Court another head behind in the 10-horse field.
Hard Not to Like was jostled at the start but was settled in fifth in the early running after Cloud Scapes, who was bumped at the start, sprinted to the lead under Alan Garcia. Clipping off fractions of 23.77, :48.51 and 1:13.78 for six furlongs, Cloud Scapes was tracked by Discreet Marq no more than a length back while Centre Point stalked from fourth and then third.
Discreet Marq made a bid on the turn and led into the stretch where she was soon joined by Centre Court, who edged to a narrow lead to her outside. The two dueled toward the finish line as Hard Not to Like found another gear for Castellano and powered up the rail for the victory.
"(The finish) really was (tight)," Castellano said. "I was concerned a little bit turning for home. But I kept track of the pacemaker (Cloud Scapes) and tried to find the best spot. It was a little tight but this horse has good heart. She came through on the rail, and I squeezed a little bit and she gave me good run at the end. I said when I got through 'I got it!' She's really nice and gave me a good run today."
"She didn't get a great trip," trainer Chad Brown said. "The inside post worked to her disadvantage today. She just didn't have much running room. We'll just draw a line through it and get her back to New York."
Hard Not to Like covered 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.38 on firm turf for her third stakes victory and second in a graded stakes. Trained by Michael Matz, Hard Not to Like came into the Jenny Wiley off a 2 3/4-length victory in a 1 1/16-mile optional claiming race Feb. 28 on the Gulfstream Park grass.
She has a 6-2-1 record from 16 career starts that include a triumph in the 2013 Marshua's River Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Gulfstream and a runner-up finish at Keeneland in the 2012 Central Bank Ashland Stakes (gr. I) on Polytrack.
Campaigned by breeder Garland Williamson, Ontario-bred Hard Not to Like is the first foal out of the Canadian classic winner Like a Gem, by Tactical Cat.
Hard Not to Like returned $29, $12.20 and $7.20 and Discreet Mark paid $5.40 and $4. The 9-3 exacta was worth $191. Abaco brought $11.40.
Cloud Scapes faded to sixth and was followed by Kitten's Point, Stephanie's Kitten, Fitful Skies, and Class Included.
Hard Not to Like is the second grade I winner in a week for Darley sire Hard Spun, who is standing in Japan for the first time this season. On April 5, his son Wicked Strong won the Twinspires.com Wood Memorial Stakes (gr. I).
