US space agency Nasa has announced it will send four astronauts to the Moon by the year 2020.
The project is set to cost £58bn ($104bn) and will use rocket technology already used on the space shuttle to cut the costs of developing a new ship.
"We will return to the Moon no later than 2020 and extend human presence across the Solar System and beyond," Dr Griffin said on Monday.
The last time people travelled to the Moon was 33 years ago.
On 20 July 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the Moon, when he travelled there on the Apollo 11.
Nasa continued to send manned crews to the Moon until 1972, and a total of 12 men walked on the lunar surface.
Experts said the new rocket would be "very Apollo-like, with updated technology. Think of it as Apollo on steroids."
One stop to Mars?
Scientists now plan to use the Moon as a stop-off on a manned mission to Mars.
Unmanned American space crafts, including the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, are already exploring Mars.
But scientists are yet to send a person to the fiery planet.

'Pretty Little Liars' Star Sasha Pieterse on Allison's Unknown Relationships: 'The Stuff That She's Hiding Is Amazing' (VIDEO)
"The stuff that she's hiding is amazing," Pieterse told Celebuzz at TV Guide Magazine's Hot List party. "There are so many big surprises. One in particular that I think will shock everyone — we can't say anything, it's so hard for us to say anything about anything — but there's a lot of relationships that she's had with people that no one knew about or would ever expect. So, it's very interesting."
Vague, but intriguing is the name of the game when it comes to the stars of PLL teasing what's to come on the future episodes. But when we last saw Pieterse's character in the show's Halloween episode, it was revealed that she had some kind of history with Byron Montgomery (Chad Lowe), Aria's (Lucy Hale) dad. Crazy!
Ali on the next 13 episodes. As for the reveal of Toby (Keegan Allen) as "A" to the characters on the show, she said, "There's a lot of conspiracy theories going on if he's really on the A team or not."
She continued, "There are possibly a lot of 'As.' Some we don't know. We don't know if there's a ruler or not. There's a lot of mysteries going on."
Pretty Little Liars returns Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 8 PM on ABC Family.

THE 2014 HOLLYWOOD FRINGE FESTIVAL PRESENTS The World Premiere of That's What She Didn't Say: A True Story of Taboo, Redemption, & Musical Theatre, written and performed by Bonnie Joy Sludikoff, directed by Jessica Lynn Johnson.
Opening June 10th and running through June 26th, 2014.
In Musical Theatre, "When emotions are too big to speak, you sing." But what happens when you don't think you're allowed to have emotions in the first place? This one-woman play (with music) shares the journey of a girl with too many secrets to carry in her backpack, a desire to be free, and the tendency to say too much. Will she find the courage to say what matters? Find out in the world-premiere of Bonnie Sludikoff's one-woman show, That's What She Didn't Say: A True Story of Taboo, Redemption, & Musical Theatre.
About That's What She Didn't Say:
TWSDS is a highly up-close-and-personal story that presents a brutally honest, sometimes funny, sometimes awkward, and often irreverent look at the most important things everyone sees, but no one talks about. Join the conversation in the first run of this important show!
Biography: Bonnie Joy Sludikoff (writer, performer) Bonnie was the 2012 winner of Hollywood's Cabaret Idol, and performed her solo cabaret show Bonnie Sludikoff: In My Own Words for a packed audience for a 2-night engagement. She is a parody-writer, an improviser, and incredibly prone to embarrassment. You know how most people have one pretty good embarrassing story? HAH! Bonnie accumulates embarrassing experiences the way the Duggar family has children: regularly and publicly.

TODAY we reveal the 10 north Hampshire stars in the frame for the 2013 Gazette Sports Personality of the Year award.
The winner will be picked from the shortlist below by a judging panel – but you can play your part in the process by putting the case for your favourite in the comment box below this article.
Alternatively, send a Tweet to @BasGazette, using #GSPOTY.
The final result will be announced at the Basingstoke and Deane Sports Awards 2013, which will be held at the Apollo Hotel, in Basingstoke, on Friday, February 28.
The judges will make their final decision on February 20, so you need to have your say by then to strengthen the case for your choice.
There is plenty of competition, from a wide range of local stars and the shortlisted sportspeople, in alphabetical order, are:
Footballer Argent had an exceptional year with Whitchurch United and Hartley Wintney.
His goals fired Whitchurch to promotion to the Wessex League Premier Division in the spring – and he was then a key figure as Hartley reached the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup.
Cricket star Coombs enjoyed a memorable year with Basingstoke and North Hants, captaining the club to the Southern League Division Two title at the first attempt.
He averaged 45.05 with the bat, making four 50s and one century, and also took 13 wickets with his medium pace bowling.
Hockey ace Danson followed up her bronze medal at the London Olympics by helping club side Reading to an unprecedented treble.
The 28-year-old also excelled on international duty, scoring the winning penalty flick as England beat the Netherlands to reach the EuroHockey final for the first time in 22 years.
Basingstoke RFC fly-half Davies was his side's key player as they won promotion to National League Three London last season.
The 22-year-old, who is also studying to become a doctor, starred as Basingstoke produced some excellent rugby to finish second in London One South before winning a promotion play-off.
Odiham boxer Goddard maintained his unbeaten record in 2013, winning all three of his fights.
The 23-year-old lightweight was especially impressive in his final bout of the year, knocking out Slovakian Julius Rasael in the opening round to make it six wins out of six in his fledgling career.
Whitchurch United manager Macey had an exceptional year, leading his team to promotion to the Wessex League Premier Division.
The Jam Boys have excelled at the higher level, while they knocked Eastleigh out of the Hampshire Senior Cup on route to the quarter-finals of the competition.
Powerlifer Maton recovered from the disappointment of missing out on a gold medal at the British Championships by dominating at European and world level.
The 50-year-old won four gold medals at the European Champion-ships, a feat she equalled at the Worlds later in the year.
The Hook runner sat out much of 2013 through injury but came back with a bang, finishing third at the Great South Run.
She went on to finish second at the British trials before claiming a bronze medal in the under-23 race at the European Cross Country Championships.
2013 was a career-defining year for Hook golfer Rose, who climbed to new heights by winning his first major championship, the US Open.
The 33-year-old was incredibly consistent all season, reaching a career-high third in the world rankings, finishing 10th on the American tour and third on the European Tour.
The Basingstoke-born netminder returned to his hometown club in the summer.
He put in a string of fine displays for the Basingstoke Bison at the end of the year, recording three shut-outs and going more than 130 minutes without conceding a goal in December.

ASK A QUESTION What is agradesco?
I want to know what the word agradesco means
3 Answers
Do you mean agradezco? It is the first person singular of "to be grateful, to thank"
Please, look up dictionary for word "agradezco" not "agradesco"...
Agradezco. Yet another example of the usefulness of the spanish "lisp." If you hear a spaniard say "agradezco" you immediately know how to spell it, but when listening to latin american pronunciation, one can easily confuse "s" with "z" or "c" followed by "i" or "e."
Just a side note.

FORENSIC Science students at Birkenhead Sixth Form College were given lessons in gun and knife crime during a visit by police firearms experts.
The presentation included a firearms role play which included information on how officers make weapons safe before forensically recovering the weapon.
The officers also drove an Armed Response Vehicle to the college campus to enable students to see at first hand the equipment they carried.
It was the second initiative delivered by police to the students in the last sixth months.
In November, they were invited to carry out a practical investigation of a car crime scene, during which students had to collect and forensically examine evidence acquired from a vehicle set up in the College's car park.
Forensic science teacher Joanne Hartley-Metcalfe organised the initiatives with Merseyside Police to offer students a practical insight into the world of forensic science.
She said: "Forensic science is a fantastic course encompassing biology, chemistry and physics.
"However, the course we offer at the Sixth Form College also helps students to develop an understanding on the roles played by technicians and other professionals who work in the scientific world.
"The visit by Merseyside Police enabled our students to develop an understanding of how forensic science helps to beat crime in our area and may inspire students to follow a career within the police service."
The college is also celebrating the national success of a former forensic science student.
Chloe Walsh, 21, recently secured a first class degree in forensic science and criminal investigation from the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), beat off tough competition from forensic scientists all over the country at the WorldSkills UK Skills finals at the NEC in Birmingham.

"A Nationally Accredited 9-1-1 Center"
The mission of the Division of Emergency Services and Communications, Bureau of Emergency Communications is "to serve as the communications link between the public and public safety agencies." We shall work daily to exceed all standards of excellence by providing state of the art E9-1-1 and other communication services. In doing so, we envision a day when every person in the State of New Hampshire will know and use 9-1-1 with the utmost confidence that a high level of assistance will follow; furthering the ideal of "One Nation, One Number." Additionally, we will provide any other emergency support services as directed by the Commissioner of the Department of Safety.
Lakes Region General Healthcare produces a 9-1-1 public service announcement.
The location of an emergency is very important. When calling 9-1-1, please pay attention to your surroundings and provide the 9-1-1 call taker with street names and house numbers, route numbers or interstate mile markers.
Text-to-9-1-1 Governor Announcement
On January 12, 2015, the Governor announced, "Public safety is state government's most important responsibility, and
Text-to-9-1-1 is an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to ensure the
safety of our people and communities. Making traditional
9-1-1 emergency services available through text messaging is a common-sense
initiative that will help save lives as we work to modernize how we provide
critical state services, allowing Granite Staters to access emergency services
when they are unable to place a call in a dangerous situation."
Text to 9-1-1 Information
Text-to-9-1-1 allows residents in dangerous situations who are unable to risk the noise of a call to send a text for help. This will help save lives and must be used responsibly. Texting should only be used when a voice call is not possible, as voice calls provide an advantage by allowing the 9-1-1 operator to more quickly assess the type of emergency and the location of the emergency.
How to text 9-1-1:
A text or data plan is required to place a Text-to-9-1-1. Currently, Text-to-9-1-1 is offered via Sprint, AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Text messages may not go through if a cell signal is not available. If a text message does not go through, the sender will receive the following message; 'There is no text service to 9-1-1 available at this time.'
Text-to-9-1-1 messages cannot be received if there are multiple message recipients or if pictures, videos or emoticons are used.
Text-to-9-1-1 is FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY!

Happy campers. An appropriate phase as we're entering the summer season.
As you look at the people in your world any time of year, though, I'll bet you likely group them into categories like "Mary Sunshine" or "Debbie Downer."
They can immediately lift the energy in a room — or suck the living daylights out of it.
Do you ever stop to wonder whether they've always been like this? Maybe they were born this way.
Then again, life experiences could have shaped their outlooks. Although we all have qualities of both Mary and Debbie, chances are you naturally lean one way more than the other.
That's not to say you're forever destined to stay that way, though.
The title of this column, Live Life Fully, along with my license plate, LIVE, serve as reminders to me that this life is not a dress rehearsal. And there are times when I definitely need those reminders!
Of course, we all have our bad moments — and bad days. We wouldn't be human if we didn't.
And it's healthy to feel those emotions and move through them.
Then there's the balance between authentically processing a scenario and wallowing in it ad nauseam — replaying the situation over and over.
Which brings to mind a concept I find very intriguing.
Scientists have found that we each have a "happiness set point," the genetic and learned tendency to remain at a certain level of happiness — similar to a thermostat setting on a furnace.
Like a weight set point, which keeps the bathroom scale hovering around the same number, our happiness set point remains the same unless we make a concerted effort to change it, according to Marci Shimoff, author of the book "Happiness for No Reason."
Two of our greatest barriers to happiness — fear and anxiety — have been hardwired into us to ensure survival as a species.
In today's world, however, that old wiring has become somewhat obsolete and more harmful than helpful.
Consider these barometers of happiness developed by Shimoff:
Life is a bummer, filled with anxiety, fatigue and sadness. This isn't the same as clinical depression, characterized by hopelessness that interferes with the ability to live a normal life, and which requires professional help.
Happy for bad reason
Attempting to feel better by indulging in addictions that feel good in the moment but are ultimately detrimental — drugs, alcohol, excessive sex, compulsive gambling, overeating, spending hours on end on the computer, retail therapy and too much television.
This kind of happiness is only a temporary way to numb out or escape unhappiness through fleeting experiences of pleasure.
Happy for good reason
Good relationships with family and friends, fulfilling careers, financial security, nice houses and cars and using talents well.
While these things can definitely have a positive impact on us, they depend on the external conditions of our lives.
If these conditions change, our happiness usually goes, too. True happiness doesn't come from merely collecting an assortment of happy — and fleeting — experiences.
At your core, you know there's something more.
Happy for no reason
True happiness: a neurophysiological state of peace and well-being that isn't dependent on external circumstances.
This isn't euphoria that doesn't last. In fact, when we're happy for no reason, we can have any emotion — sadness, fear, anger or hurt — and still experience that underlying state of peace and well-being.
When we're happy for no reason, according to Shimoff, we bring happiness to our outer experiences, rather than trying to extract happiness from them.
We don't need to manipulate the world around us to make ourselves happy. We live from happiness, rather than for happiness.
People with high happiness set points don't have special powers. They just have different habits.
Psychologists say at least 90 percent of all behavior is habitual. So, to become happier, we need to look to our habits.
Some books and programs tell us we can simply decide to be happy. Just make up our minds to be happy, and we will be.
While that's a good start, it's too simplistic — and not realistic.
All of our habitual thoughts and behaviors in the past have created specific neural pathways in the wiring of our brains — like grooves in a record. When we think or behave in a certain way over and over, those neural pathways are strengthened and the grooves become deeper.
Unhappy people tend to have more negative neural pathways. That's why we can't ignore the realities of our brain's wiring and just decide to be happy.
To raise our happiness set point, we need to create new grooves.
Scientists used to think that once a person reached adulthood, the brain was fairly well set in stone and there wasn't much we could do to change it. But new research says that when we think, feel and act in different ways, the brain changes and actually rewires itself.
Brain researcher Dr. Richard Davidson says, "Based on what we know of the plasticity of the brain, we can think of things like happiness and compassion as skills that are no different from learning to play a musical instrument or tennis. It's possible to train our brains to be happier."
As this witticism (often attributed to Benjamin Franklin) says: "The Constitution only gives people the right to pursue happiness. You have to catch it yourself."

Washington: A four-year-old boy from Colorado is alive after falling out of a three-storey apartment window, and miraculously landing on his feet.
Dylan Hayes fell out the window of his Aurora apartment while his mother was shampooing her carpets, CBS Denver affiliate KCNC reports.
She had moved her couch to the wall when Dylan climbed on it to talk through the windows to the downstairs neighbors.
"I fall ... really, really far," Dylan told CBS reporter Evrod Cassimy.
His mother, Jessica Hayes, said that she was terrified and didn't know what she was going to see when she got down to the ground floor, CBS News reported.
Dylan fell out of the third story window, did two somersaults in the air, and landed on the rock below on his feet.
The screen he broke through suffered more damage than he did. Dylan was hospitalized for just 20 hours. He wore a neck brace as a precaution but was released with barely a scratch.
Hayes has since moved out of the apartment complex and is living with a relative. She is looking for a new place on the first floor.

The Return of the Tumblebugs
Buy Now...
The Koala Bear, Kangaroo, Dingo, Platypus, Wombat, Wallaroo and Tasmanian Devil are just some of the animals that are native to
This Zuma/Lexor/Chameleon type game is, of course, the follow up to the company's popular Tumblebugs title. As with the original offering, Tumble is the central character charged with the task of rescuing her beetle buddies who have a strong lemmings-like tendency to play follow-the-leader into the lair of the Black Bug King. Played out against a series of backyard environments, Tumble generally takes up a central position and can swivel through a full 360 degrees in order to release beetles by creating groups of three or more of the same colour. However there are times when she can switch between locations to target different areas of the meandering bugs as they make their way to their destination of doom
Tumble is aided in her rescue mission by some of her garden friends. At various times she can call on the frog, butterfly and rhino beetle for help. While the frog and rhino beetle tend to stick around in various locations, the butterfly is more flighty and makes fleeting appearance. As well as her friends, Tumble is occasionally granted special skills which allow her to toss her beetle releasing missiles over objects and automatically target a specific colour.
The main game takes place over 12 levels divided into different outdoor locations with bonus rounds at the end of each level. Extra lives can be gained by the collection of 25 gold rings plus letters that spell the word "EXTRA". This game can be played in either normal or expert mode. Having played the original Tumblebugs, it was immediately noticeable that the number of bugs that needed to be released had increased significantly so reducing the possibility of gaining a time bonus.
There is also an Endless mode which lives up to its name by playing the same round with increasing difficulty until you run out of lives. In addition Wildfire has added a new game mode with Tumblebugs 2. This is Rescue mode. You are challenged to complete 27 rounds within a time period of one hour. Fortunately all the various types of games can be suspended and returned to at a later date.
Tumblebugs 2 is certainly addictive with bright and colourful graphics and appropriate sound effects. If you played and enjoyed the original game then you should love this new title. I certainly am enjoying playing the game as I work through the 90 different levels. For those not familiar with the attraction of Tumblebugs then there is a trial version of the game that can be downloaded and this will give you one hour of playing time before you need to purchase the unrestricted version at a cost of $19.99. System requirements are a reasonable 1GHz processor, 256MB RAM, 30MB hard disk space and support for DirectX 7 running Windows 98 or later.

At one point last night, Yahoo! Japan was up more than 9% in Tokyo trading. It closed up 6%, well ahead of the Nikkei's 2% gain.
The reason for the strong move was that Goldman Sachs upgraded it to its conviction list from a Neutral rating before.
Yahoo! Japan is extremely important to Yahoo! (YHOO), even though it gets forgotten about when people discuss Yahoo!'s investment in Alibaba.
Yahoo! Japan has a market cap as of today of $29.6 billion. Yahoo! owns 35% of it, or $10.4 billion.
Most Wall Street analysts discount that price for taxes Yahoo would have to pay if it ever sold its stake (plus probably a liquidity discount assuming you wouldn't be able to sell it exactly at its current market price). So, most discount it down to something like $7 billion. That means it's worth about 18% of Yahoo!'s current stock price. It's still meaningful.
And now, with this upgrade to Yahoo! Japan, Goldman is saying it's worth a lot more that its current price. Plus, you have many, including me, who believe that the Japanese yen is going a lot lower. If yen trades to 1.20 vs. its current 1.03 levels against the U.S. dollar, Yahoo!'s stake in YJ would be worth $12.1 billion instead of $10.4 billion (pre-tax). If YJ is worth more on a fundamental basis -- let's say 25% higher than current levels -- then Yahoo's stake next year (with a weakened yen) would be worth more than $15 billion instead of the $10 billion currently.
I still continue to believe that Yahoo! and Softbank will figure out a way to do some kind of cash-rich split in the next six months. It's a no-brainer for both. If Yahoo!'s stake is worth $10 billion, do a deal at $9 billion whereby Yahoo! gets 2/3 of that in cash and the rest in other assets, like AOL (AOL), for example. Yahoo! Japan would buy AOL and then hand it over to Yahoo as part of the deal.
Yahoo! gets $6 billion cash and AOL from selling its stake in YJ. And there's no tax bill. That's obviously a lot higher than current Wall Street estimates.
And the deal is good for YJ and Softbank (which is the biggest owner of YJ). Why? Because they immediately get to retire 35% of the shares of their company post-deal. Guess what happens then? The value of the remaining YJ shares skyrockets, along with their projected EPS.
This is why I'm bullish on Yahoo, AOL, YJ, as well as Softbank in the near term.

Crock Pot Adobo Chicken
Recipe by Southern Sugar Dump
Don't be put off by the ingredients, and use exactly what it calls for. The flavor of this is amazing! For those of you that like dark meat, this recipe is really tailor made for it. I like it best when using only thighs and legs.
Top Review by LeahBurgoon
I made this a day ahead of time, because I was leaving hubby to put it on while I was at work. Since he was off. There's only two of us, so I cut up and only used half of a chicken. The breasts cut in half and no wings. So not an entire half I guess. I put the chicken pieces in flour, salt, and pepper before frying them in olive oil. I'll let you know how we like it tomorrow. Edit: Loved it. Hubby kept texting me about how good it smelled. He'll definitely be in charge of crock pot cooking on his days off from now on.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/3/2009 (3088 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
TORONTO - It seems that even in baseball, you can't take the hockey out of a Canadian.
Like all good Canadian boys, most of the players on Team Canada's entry at the World Baseball Classic spent a fair amount of time playing hockey in their youth.
And while the two sports would seem to have very little in common, Team Canada's baseball players cite some of their hockey DNA as the reason why the team has a disproportionate number of left-handed hitters.
Nine of the team's 15 positional players hit left. But what's even more unusual - some might even say freakish - is that almost all of those players throw right-handed.
Generally, most left-handed hitters in baseball are truly left-handed, meaning they throw with their left hand. And most right-handed players - those who throw with their right hand - are also right-handed hitters.
Not so on Team Canada. There are eight hitters who are natural right-handers but bat from the left side - Stubby Clapp, Corey Koskie, Pete Orr, Mark Teahen, Adam Stern, Matt Stairs, Joey Votto and Justin Morneau, last season's American League MVP runner-up.
By comparison, the U.S. team has just two, which is about the normal ratio for most teams.
This Canadian righty-lefty phenomenon is more than a statistical anomaly - it gives Team Canada a competitive edge. That's because there are advantages to being a left-handed hitter in baseball.
The majority of pitchers in the game are right-handed, meaning left-handed hitters are not as susceptible to curve balls and other breaking pitches. A left-handed hitter also stands in the batter's box closest to first base, meaning he has to cover a shorter distance for an infield hit.
But what does any of this have to do with hockey?
The "hockey theory" goes like this: most hockey players shoot left; most Canadians play hockey before baseball; when hockey players play baseball, they transfer their hockey stick hand placement to a baseball bat, meaning the right hand is at the bottom, near the knob, and the left hand is on the top.
(The same "hockey theory" has been applied to golf to explain why Canada produces more southpaws, the most famous being Mike Weir.)
Members of Team Canada aren't really sure if they buy the hockey connection, but they can't offer a better explanation.
"I have no theory," says Larry Walker, Team Canada's hitting coach who is also a right-handed thrower who bats left.
"I've thought about it. Everybody seems to go back to something to do with hockey, but I've got no idea. It's just a Canadian thing. It just seems to go with the territory. Something in the water?"
One of the reasons Walker is dubious about the hockey theory is that he was a goalie, meaning he never developed a wrist shot or a slapshot. But when he cleared the puck as a goalie, he shot left-handed.
Koskie played hockey for many years before finally turning to baseball seriously as a 20-year-old. He thinks habits he formed on the ice came with him to the diamond.
"I think hockey might have something to do with it. A lot of guys are left-handed shots."
Jake Epstein had never heard of the Canadian hockey theory when it comes to hitting a baseball, but he says it makes "a ton of sense."
"Being comfortable is definitely going to play a major factor in hitting and the fact that their natural hockey hand position is left-handed, most of the players are probably more comfortable swinging that way," Epstein said in an interview from Greenwood Village, Colo., where he runs a hitting camp for amateur players along with his father, former major-leaguer Mike Epstein.
Epstein says there's another reason why hitting left-handed is an advantage.
"I believe 77 per cent the population is right-eye dominant. As a hitter, it is advantageous to have your front eye - the one closest to the pitcher-to be your dominant eye. Therefore, left-handed hitters typically set up better in the vision department."
As Epstein explains, having the dominant eye facing the pitcher really helps a left-hander pick up off-speed pitchers.
"This is advantageous because now all breaking pitches are coming into the batter instead of away from them .This advantage also helps players pick up the ball easier from the pitcher since they don't have to turn the head as far to get their back eye in line."
If it all sounds too complicated, that's probably why the Canadian players don't think about what makes so many of them lefty hitters. They just go up there and hit.
"I got no idea, I got no rhyme or reason," says Clapp, who points out that he kicks a soccer ball with his left foot, shoots pool left-handed, yet throws, writes and eats with his right hand.
"It's just one of those odd things. It's a phenomenon, but it seems to be a pretty good one. We need some mad scientist to come down here and test us."

Did you really think that invitation was because they liked you?
I can't even get worked up about the rumored six-figure advance. Anyone who believes that had HarperCollins not given a lot of money to Bush for her book, they would be putting it into more (equally unproven) "real" writers, hasn't looked at the HarperCollins catalog lately, nor at that of any other large publicly-held publisher. They are giving that money to Jenna Bush in hopes that it will return threefold, in some form or another (whether from sales or other business opportunities the book and/or author may generate or suggest).
Any librarian or bookseller or reviewer who has ever accepted free food from a publisher should really think first about his or her own place in the publishing economy.

Are you alluding to the book preview parties that have been blogged elsewhere? I never knew there was such a thing until recently. Have they been around for a while? It seems that some bloggers think it's perfectly fine to attend and blog the books that are fete-d (is that a word?) simply because they are upfront about their introduction to the books, but it all seems so...cheap. Blow a little smoke, get a little smoked salmon. Maybe I'm just naive.

That's one kind, yes, although I've never attended one of those (they're mostly in New York). I was thinking more about the way publishers make it possible for award-committee members to get three square (and usually very fine) meals a day at conventions. I've gone to plenty of these; less often now that I've grown more anti-social and teetotaling, and while I can say that I've never been pressured, subtly or otherwise, to throw my support behind a book in exchange for the victuals, I know that the corporate purpose behind such events is to make the attendees feel kindly toward the sponsor. This is a big topic with a lot of sides, though--the system also makes attendance at ALA more possible for librarians who have to pay their own way, thus allowing for more diversity on the award committees. And those preview parties allow librarians to see and handle books they might not otherwise have the opportunity to do so. You can also argue that such contact with librarians also teaches the publishers more about what we are looking for in books. But, but, but--well, there are a lot of buts.

For those of you who may be listening at home, Roger and I go back a long way, to when he wrote a column for SLJ and I was his editor. I had one of those epiphanic moments this week when I assigned my YA literature graduate students to Read Roger (or a handful of his editorials) as an assignment.

Interesting. Actually, I was pleased to see that Jenna will be donating proceeds from the book to UNICEF. I'm all for that! And her book is coming from firsthand experience, even better. Now let's hope she can do justice to the subject.
Though I am a little itsy bitsy bit jealous that she gets to work with Kate Jackson right off the bat. Just a little.

I've never met Kate Jackson, in either her Harper or Charlie's Angels incarnation. But I love that she (if I have this right) is Maeve Binchy's niece. (And I love me some Maeve Binchy, too.)
Jenna's announced donation is interesting, particularly as she has said she will be donating ALL of her profits to UNICEF. But if this is so, why was she (allegedly) holding out for a big advance? In any event, it's nice that she's charitable, I guess. Kind of a low-road way to sell books, though: I always feel morally blackmailed by books that would have you save the world by buying them.
I have more issues with authors announcing what they intend to do with "a portion" of a book's proceeds. I don't think you get bragging rights for charity if you're being cagey about what you're giving.

I've got a love-hate relationship with celebrity books. Right now I'm in the camp that (perhaps naively) hopes that some of the cash those celeb books may bring in will go to support worthy books that otherwise may never see daylight.
But then the snarky side of me says grow up.

"I always feel morally blackmailed by books that would have you save the world by buying them."
Oh so you weren't one of those people who bought that 1972 issue of National Lampoon with the picture of the cute dog on the cover and a pistol pointed at his head, the caption reading, "If You Don't Buy This Magazine We'll Shoot This Dog."?

consider the possibility that it was Jenna's agent who pushed for the advance (not an excessive one for HC) and may indeed have suggested the charity donation. publishers frequently get proposals from all sorts of writers, promising "IF you take the book I will donate etc etc." afamiliar gimmick

The aims of this study are to establish the mathematical model and the robust control technique for an Antilock Braking System (ABS). The ABS have been developed to reduce tendency of wheel lock up and to improve vehicle control during sudden braking. The ABS work by maintaining the wheel slip to a desired level so that maximum tractive force and maximum vehicle deceleration is obtained, thus reducing the vehicle stopping distance. A quarter vehicle model undergoing straightline braking maneuver, tire dynamics and hydraulic brake dynamics mathematical model are developed to represent the ABS model. The established mathematical model shows the ABS dynamics exhibits strong nonlinear characteristics. Thus, Sliding Mode Control which is a robust control technique is proposed in this study to regulate the wheel slip at the desired value depending on the road surface. The mathematical derivations proved the designed controller satisfy the stability requirement. Extensive simulation study is performed to verify the effectiveness of the designed controller and the result shows the designed controller able to maintain the wheel slip at the desired value and reducing the stopping distance

The pieces, which are in any of six categories, will be judged at IWF 2008, to be held Aug. 20-23 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.
The contest was open to any student enrolled in an accredited college or university and in an undergraduate furniture design course. Categories include Seating, Ready to Assemble, Contract, Case Goods, Occasional and Design Creativity. Entries will be judged on design (40 percent); manufacturing capabilities (25 percent); marketability (20 percent); and workmanship (15 percent)
While dozens of schools across the nation had students who entered, Georgia Tech dominated with 17 pieces selected for the finalist round. Alan Harp, furniture design instructor at Georgia Tech, says it's the school's strongest showing to date. The school's Industrial Design department, which has furniture design classes within, began offering the contest to students about six years ago. Participating in the contest has had a tremendous impact on attracting more students to the program, says Harp.
But while having students make the finalist list helps promote any school, Harp agrees the students are the ones whose careers will ultimately benefit.
"It helps them bulk up their resume and their portfolio," says Harp. "It gives them exposure to a greater audience and gets them to where they can see how they stack up against the other really good furniture designers that are also graduating at the same time. They get to examine themselves against their peers in the furniture design arena. It helps them understand what the industry wants to see."
There are some distinguished commonalities between many of this year's finalists. For starters, as emerging designers, they're adamant about not being limited to one particular design style. And naturally, they're determined. Those interviewed for this story say even if they don't win, they're still going to design with the same drive to succeed. Still, all certainly hope judges will take to their creativity like bait.
Robert Wylie
Rockingham Community College,
Wentworth, N.C.
Wylie was selected as a finalist in the Case category. He entered the contest in hopes of gaining more experience in terms of going to trade shows and networking with other woodworkers.
"In the long term, I want to teach high school woodworking. For the short term, I'm looking at building more furniture to get more experience before I go into teaching," says Wylie.
Last year, Wylie was a finalist at the AWFS Fair in Las Vegas, which sponsors another student design competition called Fresh Wood.
His piece for this year's IWF is a modification of a traditional Hepplewhite-style sideboard made of solid mahogany. It is about 6' long with four doors and one drawer. He incorporated modern joinery techniques, such as loose tenon construction, because it was faster.
"I really enjoy working with hand tools, and I knew this would give me the opportunity to do a lot of hand shaping and intricate details; there's a lot of stringing and inlay on the piece. I also wanted the challenge of working with the curves," says Wylie.
"With this piece, I spent more time in the design phase more than anything else. I probably put in 80 hours of drawing and CAD. I knew that I wanted to build a Federal period style sideboard, so I did a lot of research, pulled together a lot of different design styles that I like, then began drawing my piece and doing all the paperwork involved, including estimates on my labor, lumber and all of the other materials."
The most challenging part, he says, was building the coopered doors. He glued about five boards together to form each curve and then smoothed them with hand tools. The piece also features holly and ebony accents, and a good amount of mahogany and sapele.

I have a table structure with queries that work on website, but would like to export some content out directly from the database. (So its a bit more complicated as it doesn't have a revision details page already pulling through a single record's details.
The table structure is:
Table: Revision
1, Delete Museum, 2 etc
Table: Profiles
1, Museums, Places of Interest, 2 etc
Interlinking Table: revisionProfiles
1, 1
What I'm looking for in my query is all the fields from the Revision table plus the Profile field from the Profiles table, e.g.
1, Delete Museum, Museums
WHERE Revision.Status = 2 AND Category_Order = 2
There are a few Profile_Categories but for this category there will only ever be one Profile for any given Revision, e.g. Museums.
I've been playing around with it, but not sure of the syntax as there will be joins, and WHERE criteria from two of the tables involved.
Hope that makes sense.
SELECT r.RevisionID
, r.Revision
, r.Status
, r.etc
, p.Profile
FROM Revisions AS r
JOIN revisionProfiles AS rp
ON rp.RevisionID = r.RevisionID
JOIN Profiles AS p
ON p.ProfileID = rp.ProfileID
AND p.Category_Order = 2
WHERE r.Status = 2
Thank you - that's perfect!

HOW solemn, as one by one,
As the ranks returning, all worn and sweatyas the men file by where I stand;
As the faces, the masks appearas I glance at the faces, studying the masks;
(As I glance upward out of this page, studying you, dear friend, whoever you are;)
How solemn the thought of my whispering soul, to each in the ranks, and to you;
I see behind each mask, that wonder, a kindred soul;
O the bullet could never kill what you really are, dear friend,
Nor the bayonet stab what you really are:
... The soul! yourself I see, great as any, good as the best,
Waiting, secure and content, which the bullet could never kill,
Nor the bayonet stab, O friend!

Sarah Palin Got Some Pretty Sweet Gifts When She Was Guv
Sarah Palin has some crafty supporters. Now that she's out of the governor's mansion, Palin is required to disclose a list of any gifts she received since December 1, 2008, worth more than $250. Some of the highlights:
- A gun case with her name embroidered on it from a woman in Tennessee.
- A painted plate of Sarah's noggin from a stoneware studio in Kansas.
- Two handmade army flags from a woman in New Jersey.
- A glass elephant pendant from a woman in California.
- A blanket with the words "The Special Child" cross-stitched into it from a woman in Texas.
- A handmade Bible with a goatskin case.
Uh, is it just me, or does none of this stuff sound like it could possibly be valued at more than $20? [CNN Political Ticker]

Koreas Super Fast 1Gbps Broadband Proposal
In early 2009 the Korean Communications Commission announced plans to establish a 1gbps broadband network by 2012 as well as a 10Mbps mobile broadband network. Most Koreans already have access to a super fast 100Mbps fibre optic network that is as fast as the network proposed by the Australian Governments National Broadband Network to be constructed over the next 8 years.
The densely populated Korean Peninsula has a high number of broadband users in a relatively small area, allowing such fast networks to be built for a relatively low cost. Considering the relative size of Korea and Australia it is easy to see why the construction of such a fast broadband network that could cover the entire Australian population is a difficult task.
Broadband is gaining popularity in Australia with the introduction of cheap ADSL, ADSL2+ Cable and mobile broadband plans from an increasingly competitive number of broadband providers. Demand for Mobile Broadband alone has soared with over 1.4 million subscribers at the beginning of 2009. However it is unlikely Australia will have anything close to the super fast network proposed by Korea for some time due to the relative cost of providing such high speeds over such a vast area. A lower population means the $23.6 billion investment by the Korean Government would not go anywhere near as far in the building of a fast Australian broadband network. For example the Australian government National Broadband Network will replace copper line with fibre optic cabling to provide 100Mbps broadband speeds to Australian home and businesses. This will cost the government $43 billion over 8 years.
Because of the vast land mass in Australia most mobile broadband providers concentrate their broadband networks around metropolitan centres to remain cost effective. The roll of out ADSL2+ infrastructure is one example of this cost limitation. While many providers such as TPG and Exetel have a wide roll out of ADSl2+ infrastructure, there are still large areas of the Australian population who do not have access to ADSL2+. As their networks gain popularity, Australian Broadband providers will extend their coverage as they invest more money in infrastructure. This will result in steady increase in speed and coverage of fast broadband plans available in Australia.
The National Broadband Network promises speeds up to 100mbps in Australia and will certainly revolutionise the broadband market in Australia. Unfortunately 1gbps speeds proposed in Korea are a long way for Australian broadband users.
The Korean The closest mobile broadband network to the 10Mbps speeds proposed by the Korean government is Telstra Next G network that already covers 99% of the Australian population with speeds up to 3000kbos, depending on location. Telstra also has plans to increase the speed of its Next G network to over 5000kbps in metropolitan centres to remain completive with other mobile broadband networks that offer cheap, fast mobile broadband services.
You can compare mobile broadband plans from Australian broadband providers like 3, Exetel, Bigpond, Optus, Vodafone, Dodo and iPrimus at Compare Broadband. Don't forget to check the coverage in your area before signing up to a mobile broadband plan.

I attended the Florham Park Council meeting on the evening of Tuesday, March 19, and listened to the discussion (regarding the rezoning of the 485-acre former Exxon tract in Florham Park for office and hotel development).
A number of reasonable suggestions and questions were raised about the possible deleterious effects of the proposed development of the former Exxon property on the traffic and water resources in neighboring communities. Yet, rather than postpone any decision in order to digest the comments of those who took the time to come to the meeting and raise their concerns, the Florham Park Council listened with minds made up and went ahead and voted for the ordinance.
At the end of the meeting, after listening to all of the comments, I am convinced that the ordinance does not regulate the proposed development in a way that minimizes the negative impact of the development on traffic in Madison, the water that is used by all of our communities, the historical attributes of our communities, and generally the quality of life in our communities.
Obviously, I am not a voter in Florham Park. However, in the past, I have done a great deal of shopping in Florham Park. I was so appalled at the complete disregard of so many well-thought-out comments and reasonable questions, that I am going to vote on the Florham Park Council's actions with my buying power. I will not shop in Florham Park and intend to encourage my neighbors in Madison to do the same.

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz: Stop Political Contributions (For Now)
In what some believe is a revolutionary idea or a marketing ploy, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is calling on major corporations to halt political contributions until the U.S. government can solve the budget deficit.
Warren Buffett is not the only billionaire making controversial news in the last few days. Howard Shultz, CEO of Starbucks, is seeking a moratorium on political campaign contributions, at least until the U.S. government can overcome gridlock and solve the budget crisis.
Bloomberg obtained an email from Schultz to business leaders that reads, "I am asking that all of us forego political contributions until the Congress and the President return to Washington and deliver a fiscally disciplined long-term debt and deficit plan to the American people."
One has to wonder if Schultz really cares about Americans considering the price of a Starbucks espresso drink and the sugar overload that is the Starbucks Cafe Mocha.
All joking aside, Schultz is on to something, but a moratorium will not change the dynamic in this country. If it were observed and the budget deficit and debt handled responsibly, things would certainly revert to the usual corporatocracy (or oligarchy, if you prefer) of exorbitant campaign donations (bribes), bills written by lobbyists, access to political officials, etc.
Maybe Schultz is thinking of things in baby steps, since he himself has donated extensively to Democratic campaigns.
It should be noted that Schultz's email implies (as if we already didn't know) that campaign contributions from rich individuals and corporations are far too influential and tend to lead to gridlock, as politicians are afraid to lose campaign dollars on controversial votes.
And isn't it rather absurd, then, for Schultz to ask corporations and business leaders to halt campaign donations for now until the budget crisis is truly averted, when we all know if such a thing were to happen the status quo would very quickly revert?
No. It's in Wall Street's business interest for the U.S. government's budget situation to be made well again, otherwise Wall Street's profits are at risk.
Schultz is just as self-interested as the rest of them—only he's cloaking it in popular semiotics.

Cooperation Of Galician Companies As Competitive Survival. The Case Of Cenor
The current economic difficulties are helping what years ago professionals considered impossible: galician SME are collaborating in a competitive environment. In this work, the authors have analysed the strategic integration process of the company Hermanos Pena S.L. in the group CENOR. The authors have developed a previous diagnosis of the sectorial cooperation and the organizational tendency to collaborate of the company. They have also proposed a new methodology aimed to promote cooperation and professionalization of SMEs.

"I would recommend this site to anyone! Their site was easy to navigate and find the perfect Save the Date for us and their costumer service was extremely helpful in creating a unique product."
"Recently purchased in Cream. I really love it! The only thing that is disappointing is the gold part is not metallic but just printed gold. Still looks good but would be better with actual foil. But Overall we love it!"
"After ordering these as (we thought) postcards, but receiving magnets instead, we were so happy with what we got. The design, layout, font, and colors were perfect. The feedback we have been getting as friends and family recieve them has been so great- "best save the date ever!""
"Exactly as expected - no surprises! Would recommend to anyone! I've already started receiving compliments on the save the dates."

.22 conversion accuracy question
Can someone give me an 'educated / from experience' answer regarding
the accuracy of the .22 drop-in conversion kits? I obviously know
they aren't going to be as accurate as a dedicated.
My friends and I are going to have a friendly .22 shoot-out contest and
I would like to use my AR with the conversion. But if that is going to be
putting me at a sizable disadvantage, I'd rather use my Marlin 60 or possibly
buy a dedicated upper.
Why not buy a dedicated rifle?
Try these guys:
CDNN Sports, Inc.
OFFERS EXPIRES MONDAY APRIL 18th @ 6pm CST
Colt M16 22lr 21" Barrel Quad Rail Hand Guard Fixed A2 Style Stock 1-25rd Mag
Flip Sights Bird Cage
FREE Target Sports 30mm Red Dot #TAR93
You'll spend that much on the 22lr upper!
My daughter has the M4 OPS and WE love it. (Well maybe everything but the pink Ergo grip!)
This shoots better than me!
It eats anything we feed it and you can shoot all day for $15. And its http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/v...ns/notup50.jpg all metal.
Unless you have an old m16 surplus barrel like I have with a 1in12 twist the modern ar15 barrels at 1in9 are too fast for 22lr ammo for pin point accuracy. The newer barrels are fine with the drop in kits if your talking man sized practice targets but you really need a dedicated upper or a complete gun to get target grade accuracy if your wanting to shoot rings around peeps who are using dedicated rifles.
CDNN 2011-1 Catalog
its in their catalog at 369. this version of a dedicated 22lr is not made by colt it is actually made by a company called umarex for colt and colt puts their stamp on it.
gander mountain over in kenosha had a umarex/colt and a m&p22 i got to compaire em side by side and while i am a huge colt fan and dont care for a single S&W product i have to admit the m&p22 seemed to be a better product.
ive never personally fired either.
The Colt .22s, which are made by Walther not Umarex, are excellent. I've had the same experience as Cane except that Remington Golden Bullet doesn't feed well. But it doesn't feed well in the S&W either.
Seems to be a lot of negative talk online about these Colts but most from people who've never fired them. I love mine and chose it over the S&W, which no doubt works well too.
CDNN does not sell firearms on their web site. They do from their catalog via phone orders. This company is known as CDNN Investments.
Doubting Thomas
Here we set for several years with an M4 Bushmaster legal short barrel, a Ceiner .22LR conversion, 1 in 9 twist barrel and that thing is an absolute fly killer and tack driver....actually just plinking and having a great time popping cans, small rocks, paper targets and whatever.
It would be nice to have one of those .22LR uppers to stick on the M4 but I can buy a lot of bricks of .22 ammo for a long time with that much money and my grandkids love that M4....I am glad mine isn't F/A....

I'll also be able to change the pixel colors and maintain UV tracking over time and between hat poweroffs. I thought this would take ages, but with all the starter code from you guys it was a snap, thanks 😀

This Sunday is the Super Bowl and people are looking forward to some great football and some great ads.
With a price of about $4 million for a 30 second spot, the ads are looking to hit a big-time audience. But will they be big-time memorable?
I've already seen some advance ads for this year's game - the Budweiser puppy love, Anna Kendrick's Newcastle spot and the Muppets Toyota Highlander commercial.
I'm not going to go into a diatribe about whether these are good commercials or not, but I don't think any of them will be as memorable as the Dodge Ram Trucks commercial that was run last year.
Titled "Farmer", the simple slideshow of pictures scored by a Paul Harvey speech given over three decades ago to the Future Farmers of America (FFA), just sticks with you.
The video is presented here. Will a more memorable ad be presented during the 2014 Super Bowl? We'll see.
