Vista is more known for all of its visual appeal than it is for the "under the hood" types of features. One such feature is the new file management options in Windows Vista that allow you to sort, group, filter, and stack your files. It's simply a new approach to organizing all of your files in Windows Explorer, and something I think you'll find convenient. Of course there's still the option to sort files just as you always have in XP, but there's so much more to file management in Vista than just sorting. Today we'll go through how to group, filter, and stack your files in Windows Explorer.
Step 1:
Open up Windows Explorer (Windows Key + E), and open a folder that you'd like to view. Notice at the top that there are column headings, and drop-down menus will appear when you hover over one of those headings. The four column headings you'll probably see see are name, date modified, type, and size. These are always there, no matter which view you're in (list, icon view, etc.).
Step 2 – Grouping and Filtering
I like to think of the grouping feature like a file cabinet. When you have a file cabinet, all of the papers aren't just thrown in the drawer. Instead, they're nicely organized into folders and then placed in the drawer either in alphabetical order, or some other form or organization. Grouping allows us to place files and folders into groups whether it be a group based upon the name in which case it would be in alphabetical order, or the type of file in which case they would be grouped by whether it's a PDF, a word document, or any other type. The screenshot below shows what I clicked to group my files by files type. First I clicked the drop-down menu besides "Type", then I clicked "Group."
Once I clicked "Group," my files were then grouped by type. Instead of a list of files sorted by name, I had a list of files grouped by the type of file it was. The first screenshot on the left shows what it looks like before grouping, and the second shows what it looks like after grouping. You'll notice that I have 5 different groups – one for my GIF Image, another for my JPEG Image, one for Microsoft Excel Files, etc.
Isn't it nice how everything is grouped? You can also collapse groups by clicking the arrow at the end of every dividing line for each group. If you were to select group under the column heading "Name," files would be placed in alphabetical order. If you were to select group under Date Modified, it would divide files into groups based upon the various dates they were modified. I think you get the idea of how this works.
So where does the filtering come into play? Well, under each column header will be a list of different filtering options. The image below shows me my options for the "Name" column. By checking the A-H option, it will show only the A-H files.
Step 3 – Stacks
Another new feature in Windows Vista is the option to Stack. If I were to stack files by name, they would appear almost like they would with a group, except none of the file names are actually shown. Instead you'd double click on the stack that you want and it will open up all of the corresponding files. The more files that correspond with a particular stack, the larger the "stack icon" will be. This is essentially just using Vista's built-in search engine to find matching files, so this means that it's able to dive into sub-folders to grab additional matching files as well.
The image below shows what happened when I stacked files based upon file type.
Wrapping it up
The new file management options in Windows Vista moves away from the hierarchical folder structure that we were previously used to and can help you find what you're looking for faster. Gone are the days when your only options were to sort the files in a window in chronological or alphabetical order, and in are the days when you have tons of options to keep all of your files neatly organized.
Thanks for the tip OldManDeath!

The Juno Company, which specialises in the creation of innovative and musical education products, this week launched a really delightful-looking app called Juno's Piano, which provides children of all ages with a unique and fun way to learn the real-life basics of playing piano.
The universal iOS app, ideally suited to the iPad's larger screen, of course, features Juno, the main character of the award-winning series Juno Baby and Juno Jr. It has three modes (Free Play, Learn a Song and Play with a Parent) and aims to break down some of the traditional barriers facing children who are trying to learn how to play the piano. Juno's Piano lights up the on-screen keys, guiding children to press the correct keys and play with different colours representing the note, ensuring a fun and enjoyable learning experience. Your child's progress will also be encouraged by cheers and praise from Juno, and he or she can sing along with the piano playing to their favourite Juno Baby songs.
The Juno Company was founded by mother, composer and Ph.D. Belinda Takahashi, and is dedicated to inspiring a lifelong love of, and appreciation for, music in children. It's probably best known for its Emmy-award winning Juno Baby line of products and the Juno Jr. line. With the strong belief that beautiful music enriches lives, The Juno Company, in partnership with the National Head Start Association, donates a music education DVD to a child in need for every Juno product that is purchased.

TUESDAY HOMILY: Reaching Out to Touch Jesus with Faith

Keywords: year of faith, Fr. Roger J. Landry, daily homily, Jesus, gospels, Jairus
FALL RIVER, MA (Catholic Online). The dramatic healing of the woman with the hemorrhage in today's Gospel is one of the literally most touching of all Jesus' miracles.
Jesus was on his way with Jairus, the synagogue leader, to raise his daughter from the dead. St. Mark tells us that a large crowd was following Jesus and pressing in on him. As happens in almost any big crowd, people were bumping into him left and right.
Yet in the midst of all of that commotion on the move, Jesus is touched in a different way by this anonymous woman - and Jesus immediately knew he was touched in a different way. The woman believed that if she could just touch the tassel of his garments, she would be cured. And she was not to be disappointed.
Jesus, upon feeling his healing power go out in response to her faith, asked, somewhat remarkably, "Who touched my clothes?" It shows how big the crowd must have been banging into him that he didn't even see the woman approach him to touch the edge of his garments.
But Jesus was never interested in merely working miracles of bodily healing. Those were always a prelude to the greater miracle of healing souls, and that healing happened and happens through a personal relationship with him. That's why he never worked "mass miracles of healing," but always cured people one-by-one, because he wanted to have that personal bond. So Jesus wanted to meet and enter into a relationship with the person he had just physically cured.
After Jesus' question, the woman approached with fear and trembling, fell down before him and told him everything, including how she had sought to pick-pocket a healing miracle from him without his even knowing.
She was afraid not just because the stop she had caused Jesus to make was going to prove fatal for the daughter of the obviously impatient, powerful synagogue leader, but because by her touching Jesus with her effusion of blood, she was making him ritually impure according to the Jewish law and incapable without ablutions of entering the synagogue. She may have thought that Jesus and everyone else with whom she would have come into contact trying to get to Jesus would be outraged against her.
Her ritual impurity meant that she had been suffering not only physically for twelve years, but also socially and religiously: because of her bleeding, she couldn't touch anyone and was basically cut off from human contact; she was even, in a sense, cut off from God by not being able to enter the synagogue.
Jesus would address all those problems. He spoke to her tenderly, called her "Daughter," and said, "Your faith has made you well. Go in peace and be healed of your disease." He made the miracle public so that she could be restored totally to the community, to the worship of God, and to a relationship with God-in-the-flesh.
The miracle of the healing of Jairus' daughter later in the Gospel passage likewise began with a touch.
Jairus, the leader of the Capernaum synagogue where Jesus was already becoming controversial, didn't care if the rabbis and the members of the community would criticize him for reaching out to someone who was highly suspect in their eyes, but, out of love for his daughter, ran up to him, threw himself at his feet, doubtless grabbed onto them, and, as St. Mark says, begged Jesus repeatedly to come and lay his hands on his daughter that she might get well and live.
Jairus knew that there was a power to Jesus' hands, to his healing touch, and he wanted his daughter to feel that touch. And at the end of the scene, after she had died and everyone was mourning her death the way anyone would mourn the death of a child, Jairus would see that Jesus' healing touch was even more powerful than he had imagined.
"Do not fear," Jesus told Jairus, "only believe," and Jairus did both.
When he arrived at the house after the little girl had died, Jesus took her by the hand, touched her, and said, "Little girl, Arise!" In Greek, the verb is the same word used to describe Jesus' resurrection.
Like in Michelangelo's famous scene of the creation of Adam on the vault of the Sistine Chapel when God stretches out his hand and instills life into Adam, so Jesus' touch brings life back into this little girl "I am the resurrection and the life," Jesus said elsewhere, and his touch contains within it that resurrection, with that life, with that total restorative power.
The question for you and me is whether in our lives we humbly reach out to touch Jesus with the faith of Jairus and the woman with the 12 year hemorrhage - or do we just "bump into him," like all those following in the crowd, who, even though they were coming into physical contact with him, were receiving none of his healing and transformative power.
There's obviously a great Eucharistic application to this, when we have the unbelievable privilege not only to touch the hem of Jesus' clothes, but receive his whole body, blood, soul and divinity within. We receive the same Jesus whose feet Jairus grasped!
For many Catholics, however, receiving Jesus in Holy Communion has unfortunately, tragically, become routine. Some of us, including priests, can fail to approach Jesus with the awe, reverence, humility and thanksgiving that should characterize any of us when we recognize we're about to touch God.
Some don't even approach with faith, thinking rather that the Eucharist is just some type of special bread rather than the eternal Son of God. It's no wonder that they can begin to take the Eucharist for granted, to begin to treat Sunday Mass as less important than sleep, or sports, or work, or even cartoons, because even though in the past they've touched Jesus in Holy Communion, they touched him like so many in the crowd bumped into him, rather than with the faith and trust, reverence and gratitude, that we see in Jairus and the woman with the hemorrhage.
Today, whether we can get to Mass to touch Jesus or whether we need to reach out to him in prayer and in spiritual communion , let us beg his help so that we may touch him with true faith, to touch him with the same desperation, the same recognition of our need for him, as we see in Jairus and the woman.
At the same time that we reach out to touch Jesus, we have to recognize that Jesus wants to reach out and touch us, too. He's not just passive, waiting for us to establish contact, but he is very active, extending himself with love to us. Like he did with Jairus' little girl, so he wants to lay his hands on us.
He does it through the priest on the day we're baptized. He does it in silence in the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. He does it routinely through the raised hands of a priest giving God's forgiveness in the Sacrament of Penance, whereby he who is the resurrection and the life wants us to share in his resurrection and life, so that he may be able to say of us with joy what was said by the Father of the Prodigal Son, "My Son, my daughter, was dead, but has come to life again."
Every reconciliation is meant to be a resurrection. That's the power of Jesus' touch in that great sacrament he instituted on Easter Sunday evening. What Jesus does in the Sacrament of Confession, St. John Vianney, the patron saint of priests, used to say, is greater than the raising of Lazarus, or the son of the widow of Nain, or the daughter of Jairus, from the dead, because the healing of the soul in the Sacrament of Confession has eternal consequences.
The question for us is whether we allow Jesus to lay his hands on us in this way to heal in us whatever is dead, whatever has been killed by the fatal spiritual blow of mortal sin. The question is whether we try to imitate Jairus' love for his daughter by bringing those we love to receive that same healing, reconciling touch. Today's Gospel reading inspires us to try to do both.
Today tells us what he told Jairus: "Do not fear, just believe." He wants us to reach out to him who is reaching out for us.
That's what the "great cloud of witnesses," the saints, about whom we read in today's first reading did in their life. And that's what they are praying for us to do now.

AN Ashley bookworm, who attracted global attention for her incredible reading feat, has surpassed herself by ploughing through 880 books in a year.
Ten-year-old Faith Jackson, from Hough Green, first hit headlines in January for reading an impressive 272 books in just six months.
The Mobberley CofE Primary student didn't stop at the six month mark though and continued to keep a tally of the books she was reading.
When mum Laura totted up the numbers on July 1, Faith got a shock. She discovered she had read a total of 880 books in 365 days – an average of 2 and a half books a day.
"I was surprised, it sounds like a lot, like too many, but it's quite exciting knowing I read so many," she said.
"It's just what I like doing best – I take books with me everywhere. I didn't read so many books in a year because I was trying to, it was just by reading whenever I felt like it.
"My mum and one of my teachers, Miss Brunt, are really encouraging though."
Since Faith's appearance in the Guardian, she has become somewhat of a celebrity in the world of literature – she has been interviewed on Daybreak, met How to Train Your Dragon author Cressida Cowell and was featured on national and international news sites.
"I've been so lucky, being sent books by publishing companies and by some amazing authors," she said. "I was really excited to get a signed book by Holly Webb, I've read loads of her books."
Faith has also been named North West winner of the Read For My School competition, written a guest blog for an American site, and been interviewed for a Manchester University radio show.
Mum Laura is also running a twitter account for Faith and she has amassed over 850 followers in a matter of months.
"I think it's great to see that this kind of achievement can gain attention, when so much of what kids see in the media is so superficial," said Laura.
"Faith found all the attention she got quite bewildering but I was very proud of the way she coped with it."

Best Bank Account Interest Rates - Summary for Week Ending March 30, 2014
When will interest rates rise? A lot depends on the economy. Many economists including those at the Fed expect that the economy will strengthen over the next couple of years. That will allow the Fed to hike rates as soon as 2015. In fact, Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen suggested after the 19th FOMC meeting that rate hikes could happen as soon as the first half of 2015. That's probably the best case scenario. As new economics reports come out (like next Friday's March jobs report), we'll see if the economy is strengthening. Over the last five years, we have yet to see a long period of sustained and strong economic growth. The Fed has used this fact to justify its Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP). There is a chance that this might not change anytime soon. This WaPo opinion piece reviews the possibility that we are in a permanent economic slowdown:
Since the Great Recession, the bland (often unstated) premise has been that the economy would ultimately recover in full. Now, some economists question this and argue that the economic crisis created — or exposed — enduring weaknesses.
If there is a permanent economic slowdown, higher interest rates could be a very long way off. Let's hope we see better economic news starting this week.
The change in Treasury yields and Fed funds futures in the last week are shown below. The following numbers are based on Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates and the CME Group FedWatch.
Treasury Yields:
- 1-month: 0.03% down from 0.05% last week
- 6-month: 0.06% down from 0.08% last week
- 2--year: 0.45% same as last week
- 5--year: 1.74% up from 1.73% last week
- 10-year: 2.73% down from 2.75% last week
- 30-year: 3.55% down from 3.61% last week
Fed funds futures' probability of rate hike by:
- Jan 2015: 18% down from 25% last week
- Apr 2015: 49% down from 52% last week
- Jul 2015: 82% up from 81% last week
- Oct 2015: 97% up from 96% last week
Savings & Checking Account Rates
Last week was another quiet week in the savings and money market accounts that I track below. There were no rate changes.
The number of institutions offering a non-promo 1% savings or money market account continues to be five. SFGI Direct is the latest one in this club with its 1.01% APY savings account. Three of those five are MySavingsDirect savings account, the iGObanking.com money market account and the SmartyPig savings account. All of these are offering a 1.00% APY. The highest rate continues to be at Connexus Y.E.S. Money Market Account which has a top-tier APY of 1.15% for a $100K minimum balance. An important downside of this account is that it requires an active checking account and direct deposit. Note, I exclude EverBank and Salem Five Direct. Only new customers can earn over 1% at these banks.
Out of the above five, the accounts at Connexus Credit Union and SmartyPig have the longest history of top rates.
Reward Checking Accounts
The only rate change this week for the nationally available reward checking accounts was at First American Bank. It lowered the top rate of its Everyday Rewards Checking account from 2.00% to 1.50% APY for balances up to $15,000. This is a fairly new account. My first post on this account was in February. This is one example when it pays not to jump quickly on new competitive reward checking accounts.
After this change at First American Bank, there is now only six banks and credit unions in my table below offering reward checking yields of 2.00% or above for balances of at least $15,000.
To find the highest reward checking rates and balance caps in your state or nationwide, please refer to our reward checking rate table. If you're new to these tables, my rate table guide should be useful. If you're new to reward checking, please refer to my blog post, 10 Common Traits of High-Yield Reward Checking.

From 1909 to 1918, he served in the Imperial Russian Army at Kaunas Fortress. He fought in the First World War and the Russian Civil War. In 1921 he returned to Lithuania and was mobilized into the Lithuanian Armed Forces, where he attained the rank of colonel (1927) and served until 1940. Acus graduated from Vytautas Magnus University in 1930. He lectured on chemistry and commodity science at Vytautas Magnus University (1934–1940), Vilnius University (1940–1950), and Lithuanian University of Agriculture (1951–1957). He wrote textbooks on foundations of commodity science (1949) and a short course in physical chemistry (1957). Acus was awarded the Commander's Crosses of the Order of Vytautas the Great (1938) and the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas (1928). His ancestor Tomasz Oziewicz-Asiewicz has signed the General Confederation of Grand Lithuanian Principality in 1764. Family's coat of arms is Lubicz. Family's tree on geni.com.

PLANS to demolish a Wirral pub to make way for an affordable housing scheme have been submitted to the local authority.
If approved, Warrington-based GallifordTry's scheme will see The Millhouse in Millhouse Lane, Moreton, demolished and 40 apartments for the over 55s built in its place.
The application is to be considered by Wirral planning committee, although no date has been set yet.
A public exhibition to discuss the plans will be held at Moreton Community Centre in Maryland Way, Moreton on Friday, June 20 from 4-7pm.
The scheme has raised concerns from councillors, who fear the proposed buildings are too high for the area. They also believe it could worsen parking problems.
In a letter supporting GallifordTry's application to the council, Euan Kelly Property Solutions wrote: "Galliford Try is a top five UK house-building company and Top 10 UK contracting business with annual revenues in excess of £1.5bn.
"The development proposals make specific provision for older persons, (over 55s), residential accommodation and comprise 40 residential apartments, of which 15 units will be one-bed units and the remaining 25 will be two-bed apartments.
"All of these units will be made available for affordable rent and will, accordingly, respond to local housing needs."
Conservative councillor for Moreton West and Saughall Massie, Chris Blakeley, said: "While I am not opposed to development in this area, I am not sure that this application is right for this location.
"Millhouse Lane is made up of two-storey houses, detached, semi-detached and town houses. This proposal is for a complex of 40 units for the over-55s and is two and three storeys in height. It does not appear to fit in with the existing residences.
"I am also disappointed that the applicant appears to have ignored the advice of planning officers who raised concerns about a three-storey building on this site.
"I have some concerns over the parking arrangements with only 22 spaces for a block containing 40 units, does the applicant think if you're over-55, you don't drive?
"Millhouse Lane and the roads off already suffer with some on street parking problems. This development, if approved, would seem to only exacerbate those problems.
"However it's not really about what I think, it's about what local people who live near to this proposed development think and that's why I, and my colleagues Cllr Steve Williams and Bruce Berry, are leafleting the area.
"We are very keen to hear what local people think, we are here to represent their views and we will do that to the very best of our ability."
Darren Leary, develppment director for GallifordTry, told the Globe: "Through the pre-application process with the local authority planning department we have worked to try to deliver a residential solution to the proposed site that addresses the local character and respects the proximity of nearby buildings in accordance with planning guidance.
"We feel our submission achieves this, however we can fully appreciate any concerns local residents may have.
"To try and allay any concerns we have arranged a public consultation meeting for June 20. We hope, with all the plans on display and members of the design team and GallifordTry present, we can address any concerns of local residents in respect of the proposal."

Press Releases of Wednesday, 13 July 2011
Source: Federation of Universities Senior Staff Association
It may be recalled that the Single Spine Salary Structure was introduced by Government as a measure to mitigate unfair disparities and relativities in salaries and wages of public sector workers in Ghana not excluding the Senior Staff of Public Universities of Ghana.
Though the implementation of the new pay policy has been protracted, slow, haphazard and or arbitrary, the Senior Staff of the Public Universities of Ghana have remained resolute in their commitment towards providing middle level manpower services necessary for training the requisite personnel to meet the needs of both public and private sectors of this country.
It appears however, that the good will, commitment and unalloyed desire of the Senior Staff of the Public Universities of Ghana to dialogue and negotiation have been misread, misinterpreted and ultimately, the Senior Staff of the Public Universities of Ghana taken for granted by the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) the leadership of the Federation of Universities Senior Staff Association of Ghana (FUSSAG)) and above all the Government of His Excellency President J. E. Atta Mills, a retired University Associate Professor.
It is no doubt, that the Senior Staff of the Public Universities of Ghana constitute the most over-worked, under resourced, relatively less paid and never motivated and non-remunerated working class within the Public Universities in Ghana. The plight of the Senior Staff of the Public Universities with regards to salaries and remunerations can easily be appreciated by anybody with a month long acquaintance with the Public Universities, not the least stakeholders such as the FWSC, Leadership of FUSSAG, and a Government led by a retired University don.
Therefore, we the Concerned Members of FUSSAG demand that the FWSC overcome its inertia and inability to have a workable timetable and migrate the Senior Staff of the Public Universities onto the Single Spine Salary Structure not later than 31st July, 2011.
We also demand that the FWSC and the Leadership of FUSSAG come clear on when the salaries arrears accruing from the Single Spine Pay Policy will be paid and how. We will not hesitate to remind all stakeholders that, this time around a piece meal approach to the payment of salaries arrears shall be met with the resistance that it deserves.
The Concerned Members of FUSSAG also wish to remind the Leadership of FUSSAG that the Members of FUSSAG have given them (Leadership of FUSSAG) the mandate to work toe and nail and without fear or favour towards the enhancement of their social and economic wellbeing. In this regard, the aims, aspirations and interests of the rank and file of FUSSAG should forever remain the top most priority of Leadership and not that of those they meet in the air-conditioned halls, negotiation tables and board rooms.
May the Leadership of FUSSAG and the FWSC be thus reminded that they are gradually but surely losing their legitimacy and touch with their constituents? What is the value of salt that loses its taste?
The time to migrate the Senior Staff of the Public Universities in Ghana onto the Single Spine Salary Structure is 31st July, 2011 and not any other month. A stitch in time, it is said saves nine.
Concerned Members of FUSSAG, UDS

Pekiti-Tirsia Kali (PTK) is trained and executed in combat and survival by military operators, law enforcement officers, and citizens across the free world. It's one of the last true systems that has been tested and proven through generations of combat – and is still tested today.
Radius Factor is an affiliate of the Pekiti-Tirsia Kali System Global Organization (PTKGO). Under the leadership of Tuhon Tim Waid, PTKGO/SMF is the largest professional organization of Pekiti-Tirsia Certified Instructors worldwide. PTK-SMF™ Instructors set the standard for technical knowledge, instructional skill and combat execution.
Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is an authentic Filipino Martial Art and is the most complete, advanced, and effective system of Filipino Martial Arts in existence. A true combat blade fighting system of authentic Filipino Martial Arts, it employs all edged and impact weaponry, empty-hands combat, and integrates seamlessly with the use of modern firearms – with instant validation. As a close-quarters, in-fighting combat system based upon the use of the blade, it provides protection from all strikes and attacks, neutralization of opponent's weapons, and domination of any combat or self defense encounter.
Today, PTK is trained and executed in combat and survival by military operators, law enforcement officers, and citizens across the free world. It is the official martial arts combat system of the Philippine Marine Corps and is the only Filipino Martial Arts system instructed to all Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is also the official martial arts system of the elite Special Action Force (SAF) of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
Training Benefits of PTK-SMF
Self-Defense and Close-Quarter Combatives Training
Pekiti-Tirsia Kali (PTK-SMF) offers a comprehensive, effective, and versatile training system for self-defense and combat against both empty hand and weapon attacks. Common empty hand attacks, for example, grabs, pushes, punches, kicks, locks, holds and takedown attempts are all quickly prevented or countered using very efficient, practical and proven methods. The system utilizes open-hand strikes, elbows, knees, kicks, joint manipulations, chokes, submission hold, off-balancing techniques, and fast, dynamic footwork to counter attacks – standing and from the ground – in a very practical way.
Edged/Impact Weapons and Self-Defense Tools
This is the core mindset of the system and what makes Pekiti-Tirsia so effective. The weapon system is so versatile that once you understand the principles of the system, you can use any edged or impact weapon – as well as transition to empty hands. You will also understand the advantages and disadvantages of different types of weaponry.
The most practical weapons in Pekiti-Tirsia consists of close-quarters training of long bladed weapons (ginunting/machete/survival knife); short bladed weapons (fixed blade or folding knife); Impact weapons such as a rattan stick, baton, or tactical flashlight, (or something from your immediate environment). Specialized weapons training is also available, including combat or survival knife, flexible weapons, and firearms.
Practical Empty Hands
Pangamut (striking) in conjunction with Dumog (off-balancing, grappling, throws, "joint, muscle and tendon destruction") combatives are used to unbalance and strike all vital areas of the body, as well as destroy an opponent's own natural weapons with destruction techniques to the fingers, hands, arms, knees, legs, feet, etc. The system utilizes open-hand strikes, elbows, knees, low-line kicks, joint manipulations, chokes, and off-balancing techniques in conjunction with dynamic and evasive footwork.
Dynamic Footwork & Maneuvering
The dynamic footwork system in Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is second to none. It offers superior evasiveness, agility, and speed to evade attacks while quartering and overtaking your opponent like no other system. Many self-defense and combat situations can be countered/evaded with the footwork alone.
Extreme Conditioning
Pekiti-Tirsia will bring your functional strength, endurance, speed, and mobility to a new level. Training methods are created for explosiveness, agility, and speed – all very functional for combat as well as for day-to-day life. Since the system is based on the experience of real combat – life or death situations – conditioning is a vital part of the system. Train in Pekiti-Tirsia and you'll understand quickly why it's important to have endurance.
Offensive & Counter-Offensive Methodology
Pekiti-Tirsia centers on utilizing a strong offensive and counter-offensive methodology as well as how to not get hit. Tactics are executed from all angles and positions – Firearm and edged weapon disarms and retention included. The Offensive/counter-offensive allows the practitioner to move more dynamically than a "defensive" mentality. With this mindset, practitioners are able to overtake and overwhelm an opponent much more effectively.
Proven Methods
Tested and proven through generations of combat, Pekiti-Tirsia and the Military PTK-CQC System continues to be applied on the modern battlefield by the elite Philippine Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance Battalion, Philippine Marine Corps and Philippine Army combat units, the elite Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police, as well as other Special Forces around the world.
A Strong, Strategic Foundation
The foundation strategy of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali is:
1. Protection from all attacks.
2. Neutralization of opponent(s) weapons and strikes.
Combat Blade fighting tactics are executed according to this strategy. Tactics and training must provide skills for protection, evasion against opponents' strikes, and the ability never to be hit. The live blade provides instant realization of this principle. Protection from strikes and attacks are accomplished by footwork mobility and maneuver, counter-offensive strikes, and by striking the opponent first. Opponent weapons are destroyed by direct strikes to the weapon hand or incapacitation by striking vital areas off-time of opponent's strikes. Domination of close-quarters combat is executed by attacking, quartering, controlling, and neutralizing the threat regardless of terrain, environment, or multiple adversaries.

Decompression surgery has a significant improvement in both the symptoms and quality of life of CSM patients at all levels of severity
In a world-first, decompression surgery has been shown to be an effective procedure to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) – a common progressive, degenerative disease of the spine that can lead to paralysis – according to the results of a multi-centre clinical trial published today.
The study, with its use of multiple outcome measures to determine patient improvement, is the first research of its kind to show that decompression surgery has a significant improvement in both the symptoms and quality of life of CSM patients at all levels of severity.
The study, "Efficacy and Safety of Surgical Decompression in Patients with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Results of the AOSpine North America Prospective Multi-Center Study," published in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, found that patients with mild, moderate and severe CSM show significant recovery after undergoing decompression surgery – a procedure that alleviates pressure on the nerves of the spinal cord.
"The results of this trial support the use of decompression surgery as a viable treatment for Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy and could lead to a change in practice to treat this condition," said Dr. Michael Fehlings, neurosurgeon and Medical Director of the Krembil Neuroscience Centre, Toronto Western Hospital and the study's lead author. "With few existing interventions available for these patients, it is encouraging to have data showing improvements in quality of life as a result of surgery, in some cases, even reversing serious neurological damage that could have resulted in paralysis."
To date, the limited research and mixed reports have concluded that there was no added benefit from surgical intervention for CSM patients, and that the best approach was to monitor the progression of their condition and, in some cases, treat conservatively with non-surgical approaches. However, in 30 to 50 per cent of CSM cases, it has been observed that the condition gets progressively worse, impairing patients' ability to walk and perform daily tasks such as dressing themselves and performing their own personal hygiene. This study clearly shows that many more patients with CSM could benefit from surgery than previously thought.
CSM is the leading cause of spinal cord dysfunction in the world, mostly affects people over the age of 50 and is very common in people of Asian and South Asian descent. Over time, the normal process of aging can sometimes lead to the narrowing of the spinal canal creating pressure on the spinal cord. As CSM progresses, it can cause neck stiffness, arm pain, numbness in the hands and, in severe cases, inhibits movement in limbs, impairs walking and can eventually lead to paralysis.
An unrecognized condition that is often misdiagnosed, CSM incidence and prevalence remain undetermined in Canada but, based on clinical caseloads and statistics from the U.S., is estimated to occur among 20 per cent of Canadians with approximately 10 per cent of them requiring surgery to treat the spinal cord dysfunction.
Other than medication to alleviate pain caused by the condition, there are no treatments available for CSM patients and surgery was usually only considered for the most severe cases in an attempt to stop further neurological deterioration.
From 2005 to 2007, researchers at 12 trial centres across North America, including Toronto Western Hospital, recruited patients with symptoms of CSM whose x-rays showed evidence of spinal cord compression. Patients were then categorized as having mild, moderate or severe CSM. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of decompression surgery on functional, quality of life and disability outcomes one year after patients had undergone surgery. The study also set out to determine, if the degree of improvement depended on the severity of CSM in patients before surgery.
Using a variety of outcome indices that measure the severity of functional and neurological impairment, such as the Nurick Grade and Neck Disability Index (NDI), researchers evaluated patients before and after surgery to determine the effect of the surgical intervention on the patients' CSM.
At the one year follow up after decompression surgery, researchers found that the majority of study participants experienced statistically significant improvements in their condition. They also noted that for functional, disability and quality of life measures, the degree of improvement did not depend on the severity of preoperative symptoms, indicating that even cases of mild and moderate CSM benefit from surgical intervention.

Dial Vodafone for revival
Expected to be announced on Monday, the deal may generate synergies valued at about €2.8 billion, said one of the sources, who asked not to be named. Pre-empting a planned initial public offering approved by Ono's investors last week, the transaction will likely receive regulatory approval before summer.
Vodafone, which acquired Germany's Kabel Deutschland last year, is adding landline services to compensate for declining wireless revenue. As Europe's cable assets become more attractive, Numericable of France last week won a bid to combine with Vivendi's SFR mobile-phone unit, beating a rival offer from Bouygues, which owns a wireless carrier.
Spokesmen for Ono and Vodafone, the world's second-largest wireless carrier, declined to comment.
Vodafone chief executive
Rival Spanish deals likely
Ono, which competes with Telefonica and Orange, added 9000 internet customers and 183,000 mobile subscriptions in the fourth quarter while it lost 17,000 TV customers. Vodafone fell 1 per cent to 222.15 pence in London on March 14, giving the company a market value of £58.7 billion ($108 billion).
To win Ono, Mr Colao had to convince the company's private-equity investors that he could offer them a better deal than the IPO, without overpaying. The share sale was expected to fetch between €7 billion and €8 billion.
Vodafone had raised its offer to about €7 billion from about €6 billion on March 5, people familiar with the negotiations said. "We are clearly interested in broadband in Spain; we are clearly interested in offering our own solutions," Mr Colao told reporters in Barcelona last month.
Vodafone bought Kabel Deutschland for more than $US10 billion and is working on integrating the German cable operator. After a $US130 billion sale of Vodafone's stake in United States mobile company Verizon Wireless, Mr Colao has said that he has $US30 billion ($33 billion) to $US40 billion in "spending power", and Vodafone has committed to £19 billion in network spending in the next two years.
The purchase of Ono could lead to further deals in the Spanish market.
Orange of France has intensified its search for acquisition targets in Spain to avoid being left out of consolidation, people familiar with the matter said last month. France's biggest carrier is discussing its options with investment banks, with possible targets including Jazztel and TeliaSonera's Yoigo unit.

Also On: PS4
Publisher: Capcom
Developer: Capcom
Medium: Digital/Disc
Players: Multi
Online: Yes
Desperate times call for lazy decisions. No wait, that's wrong. Actually, in the case of Resident Evil 6 for PS4 and Xbox One, it's a valid statement. Released not even four years ago, Capcom felt, despite its mixed reception, the game sold well enough to become their 2nd best selling title as of Sept 2015, and in turn, justified a remaster. That's a lot to take in. For me, RE6 is the weakest link in the dying franchise and that's being nice. In the hopes of Capcom putting a better effort in 2016 to celebrate the series' 20th Anniversary, I was eager to see if they fixed or improved some of the flaws with the game. You know what they say, paint rust whatever color you want, it's still rust.
I can report this release is essentially the same release from 2012 with the addition of the multiplayer maps and costume DLC that I could care less about. The only saving grace this time around is that all the campaign chapters including Ada's is unlocked from the start. This means you can play through Leon's campaign (easily the highlight of the game) and skip over Chris'. Trust me, you aren't missing anything good. I won't be digging deep into the game since it's identical other than visuals to its last gen counterpart. Here is our original review.
Keep in mind this is the first of a trilogy of "RE-masters" this year with Resident Evil 5 and 4 next on the list. Let's hope that at least Resident Evil 4 isn't the same HD release that has been pumped out time and time again. I think it's safe to say that's wishful thinking. So who is this game for? Gluttons for punishment? Die Hard Fans of the series? Dare I say, me? Clearly, something has me still playing through the game despite completing it when it was first released. I'm not sure I will ever have the answer for you. Maybe it's the hope that the 2nd time around, I could find love for it.
It may simply be that I have been a hardcore fan of the series since even before the launch of the original. I had a preorder at Electronics Boutique back in the day, months before the release and have played just about every release to date. This includes the original Resident Evil Survivor which dare I say, is more enjoyable than Resident Evil 6. At the end of the day, if you didn't play RE6 when it first released, I don't see why you would jump in now, other than the fact that it looks better.
Personally, I enjoyed Resident Evil 5 way more and even that game was a step in the wrong direction. I will check that release out as well and let you know my thoughts when it releases at the end of June. If you are hell bent on grabbing RE6, wait for a price drop. $20 is even too steep in my opinion.

NEW YORK (Jun. 22)
Resistance to anti-Semitism as a movement threatening American democracy and organized religion has been urged by the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and by the Church Peace Union.
The Federal Council's weekly Information Service, in an issue devoted to "Current Manifestations of Organized Anti-Semitism," warns that "we have here and now among us a group of skillful propagandists and fanatics who are a potential threat to democracy and to religion." A four-point program is urged, including (1) revealing the relation of anti-Semitic propaganda to Nazi methods, (2) "careful, positive education," (3) promotion of economic justice and (4) action by Christian churches to influence the attitudes of their members against anti-Semitism.
The Peace Union, in its June News Letter, publishes a resolution adopted earlier in the month in Atlantic City opposing anti-Semitism as "contrary to our American institutions" and threatening "the basic ideals of all religions." It urges "all religious leaders and the people of their respective congregations to take active steps toward the development of that understanding, cooperation and goodwill which will unite them more deeply in overcoming this evil with good."

Tollywood is ruled by four to five powerful familes and they include Mega Star, Nanadamuris, Akkinenis, Daggubatis. Of all the families Mega Star and Nandamuri families are facing internal bickerings and though they sport smile when ever media flashes snaps of them, one can not deny the hard fact.
While Mega Star Chiranjeevi family has differences with Power Star Pawan Kalyan, Nagababu himself is having differences with other members on his son Varun Tej debut. As if this is not enough Ram Charan gets into tangle trying to take on Tollywood big wigs.
Nandamuri family's differences are well known with Harikrishna and Chandra Babu being at loggerheads and Babu pulling Natasimha Balakrishna towards his side. This will pit Young Tiger on the side of Harikrishna, his father and against Balakrishna. Already his rivalry with Balakrishna in Vijayawada is in open and one has to see where it will end.
Now the question is which top tollywood family will break up first.

(CBS News) CINCINNATI - In the run up to the last election, dozens of new political organizations tried to get tax-exempt status from the IRS by claiming that they were really social welfare groups. The IRS had to investigate whether each organization was actually spending most of its time on social welfare or politics.
The IRS has admitted it targeted conservative groups -- but what about liberals?
When Jeff Cohen's left-leaning Action for a Progressive Future applied for an IRS tax exemption, the process was too long and too slow, he says. But it was much easier for him than it was for tea party groups.
Acting IRS commissioner steps down, Obama announces
The IRS targeting controversy: A timeline
Source: Two IRS employees disciplined in wake of targeting scandal
Cohen answered nine IRS questions, many of them about the politics of his website, but he was approved after 18 months.
By contrast, tea party groups faced dozens of questions and many are still waiting for approval after two-and-a-half years.
"I'm for the IRS toughly probing all groups applying for tax exempt status. But they shouldn't scrutinize certain groups because they're on the left or the right," Cohen said.
According to the Treasury Inspector General's report, IRS scrutiny of the tea party began in 2010, in the tax exemption unit based in Cincinnati.
Specialists in charge of denying tax exemptions to groups whose mission is primarily political began screening applications using three search terms: "tea party," "9/12" and "patriot." In fact, the report says the words, "tea party" became the "shorthand term for all potential political cases." Jeff Cohen calls the targeting of anyone's politics appalling.
"Because remember, if groups who have the name 'tea party' in their name, those words, can be targeted now. In a few years groups with the word 'progressive' in their name could be targeted by the IRS. It's wrong in either case."
While the report calls the search terms "inappropriate" it still concludes the Cincinnati office was "not politically biased." Of the 298 organizations the office reviewed, only a third was triggered by conservative search terms. Two thirds were not. However, every tea party group was reviewed.
What's missing in the Inspector General's report is the question of why the searches lacked political balance. The investigators call the use of the search terms wrong---but Scott--they don't report asking why all the terms specifically targeted the right.

Minister misled Parliament on housing
Housing spokesperson
18 March 2014 MEDIA STATEMENT
Minister misled Parliament on housing
Housing Minister Nick Smith has deliberately misled Parliament by claiming that house prices rose by 26 per cent over the last five years, says Housing spokesperson Phil Twyford.
"The truth is that the rise is 40 per cent according to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand's published figures.
"The REINZ figures actually show a $170,500 increase in the median between February 2009 and February 2014 which is a 40 per cent increase from $421,500 to $592,000.
"Nick Smith has chosen a bizarre method of calculating the increase in order to hide the true increase and mislead Parliament.
"He also claimed the figures were obtained from the Real Estate Institute but they have denied this.
"When Labour contacted REINZ to ask about Smith's figures, they responded: 'The data was not prepared by REINZ for the Minister's office and it is not a report we release.'
"On top of Nick Smith's cynical approach to calculating the change in his data tabled he made such basic mistakes as getting the date wrong, reporting it was an average when it is a median,
and putting in the wrong figures house prices for Canterbury/Westland.
"Nick Smith has made it up and deliberately misled the House, the media and the public to cover up for his failed housing policy that is driving up house prices and rents.
"His housing policy is also shutting out first home buyers and handing the market to speculators to make a killing.
"Interest rates will be driven up beyond 8 per cent which will place a massive burden on homeowners struggling to pay huge mortgages on stagnant wages.
"Is he so appalled and embarrassed at his own government's track record on housing that he feels the need to make up numbers, just to make it look better.
How many photo-ops will it take to make it look like his housing policies are actually helping New Zealanders rather than hurting them and killing off their aspirations and dreams?"

Facebook is the most popular social network site up to date. It is a place where you can connect to old friends and make new friends online.
Sometimes, for some reasons, you might not want to "friend" with your facebook friends anymore. Here you will learn TWO ways to unfriend your Facebook friends.
Method 1: Sidebar link
- Visit the facebook profile page of the person you want to unfriend (example: http://www.facebook.com/theirname).
- Scroll down to the bottom of left sidebar and you should see a couple text links like the screenshot below:
- Click on the "Unfriend" link.
- A popup will appear to ask you for confirmation. Click "Remove from Friends" button to confirm.
- Done. He/She is now your Facebook ex-friend.
Method 2: Friends list
If you want to unfriend many facebook friends, it is faster to do it in Facebook Friends list.
- Goto Facebook "edit friends"
- Click on the button under "Friends" title to change it to "All Friends".
- Now you get a list of all your Facebook friends sorted in alphabet order. Click on the "X" button at the right end of each row to unfriend.
- A popup will appear to ask for unfriend confirmation. Click "Remove from Friends" button to confirm.
- Done. He/She is now your Facebook ex-friend.
My two cents
As you see, it is very easy to unfriend facebook friends. Surprisingly, many of my friends do not know to unfriend. Hope this tip will help them.
Maybe you think it is unharmed to friend with random people on Facebook… but you might not know how much information you are sharing to the strangers once you friend them. Check out Facebook privacy guide to set your privacy level.

Washington, D.C. -- Spring apparel and candy are predicted to push Easter sales past the $16 billion mark this year, according to a new survey released Tuesday by the National Retail Federation.
The Easter spending survey, conducted by BIGinsight, found that Americans will shell out an average of $145.28 on everything from apparel and candy to food and decorations this year, up 11% from $131.04 last year. Total spending is expected to reach $16.8 billion.
"Though the price of gas is on everyone's mind, Easter is one of the few holidays some consumers are willing to stretch their budgets, especially because many children look forward to treats and new outfits on Easter morning," said NRF president and CEO Matthew Shay. "Retailers will make sure to offer plenty of promotions on candy, apparel, food and decorations in the coming weeks for eager holiday shoppers."
According to the survey, 48.5% of those surveyed plan to take advantage of retailers' spring sales on colorful fashions and accessories, with total spending on those items expected to reach $3 billion. Most though, will head straight to the candy aisle (89.3%), shelling out more than $2 billion on traditional favorites such as chocolate eggs and jelly beans. The average person will spend more on these items as well: $26.11 on apparel, up from $21.51 last year, and $20.35 on candy, up from $18.55 last year.
Americans are also set to fork over more on their Easter meals with the average person expected to spend $44.34, up from $40.05 last year for a total $5.1 billion. Additionally, consumers will spend an average of $20.57 on gifts for their friends and family, $10.50 on flowers and $9.07 on decorations for their home and office. Half (53.6%) will buy greeting cards, spending an average of $7.04.
Though most people will shop at their local discount store (63.5%), the survey found that four in 10 (42.6%) – and the highest percent in the survey's history – will shop at a department store for gifts and other holiday merchandise. Online retailers will see the biggest jump in traffic this year, however. Nearly two in five (18.7%) will shop online, up from 14.8% last year and just 11.1% in 2008. Others will shop at specialty stores (25.4%) such as a jeweler, electronic store or florist, or a specialty clothing store (9.7%).
More than half (52.3%) of tablet owners celebrating Easter will use their device to research products and purchase gifts and other merchandise. Specifically, 25.7% said they will purchase something and 36.6% plan to research products and compare prices. More than one-quarter (26.3%) will look up company and store information, such as store hours and location, and 15.3% will use apps to research and purchase products. Additionally, 43.3% of smartphone owners celebrating Easter will use their mobile device to research and/or purchase items.

These commodity traders who are hoarding produce would not do so if there was no money involved. There was no mention of this during the programme. As is all too
common none of the commentaters put their foot over the line.
The impending takeover of Graincorp is another nail in the coffin of independant government in Australia.Abbot ofcourse has no compunction about allowing this to happen. Shame on him and all his like who will sell this country to those corporate sharks.

EPA Settles Asbestos Case Against Redbank Valley School District
Release Date: 8/10/1999
Contact Information: David Sternberg (215) 814-5548
NEW BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has settled a complaint against the Redbank Valley School District alleging violations of federal asbestos regulations at the Redbank Valley Junior and Senior High School, Clarion County.
In its February 9, 1999 complaint, EPA alleged that former school Superintendent R. David Farley directed school employees and volunteers, including students, to remove asbestos-containing floor tiles damaged in an August 1996 flood. Mr. Farley allegedly violated federal asbestos regulations by failing to advise the clean-up crew that the materials contained asbestos, and by not providing protective gear or air monitoring, not containing the asbestos removal area, and not notifying EPA of the removal operation. Last year, Mr. Farley was convicted by a federal jury for criminal violations of federal asbestos removal and disposal regulations.
EPA also cited the school district for record-keeping and inspection violations of federal regulations on the management of asbestos in schools.
Under the settlement agreement, the district agreed to pay a civil penalty of $51,800, including a $21,150 cash payment, with the balance credited for school funds already spent or committed for compliance with asbestos regulations. The school district neither admitted nor denied liability.
The school district cooperated in EPA's investigation of this matter, and in the negotiated settlement of this administrative complaint.

4 Tales of Winter Olympics Almost-Glory
The 2014 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. They're sure to offer plenty of triumphs, but for every Brian Boitano, there's a Tonya Harding. Here are some other spectacular Olympic duds.
The 2014 Winter Olympics are just around the corner. They're sure to offer plenty of triumphs, but for every Brian Boitano, there's a Tonya Harding. Here are some other spectacular Olympic duds.
Stuff you didn't know about the world's most famous basketball team.
• In late 1926, Abe Saperstein took over as coach of a touring African-American team in Chicago called the Savoy Big Five (they played their games at the Savoy Ballroom). Saperstein renamed them the Harlem Globetrotters because all the players were African-American (Harlem being a predominantly African-American neighborhood).
• The original lineup for the team's first game in January 1927: "Toots" Wright, "Fat" Long, "Kid" Oliver, "Runt" Pullins, and Andy Washington.
• The team played hundreds of games a year and got so good that they played in a national championship in 1939 against another independent team, the New York Renaissance. The Globetrotters lost, but that same year they discovered that the crowd liked it when they did ball tricks and comic routines. Saperstein told them to do as much of that as possible…provided they'd already established a comfortable lead.
• Over the years, a few famous athletes have played for the Globetrotters. Wilt Chamberlain played for one year, between college and joining the NBA. Future Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Gibson played in the 1950s, before his baseball career. And NBA great Magic Johnson played in a single game.
More sports statistical anomalies, this time for football.
Tallest: Being taller than 7'0" is routine in the NBA. In the NFL, there's only been one man. Seven-foot-tall defensive tackle Richard Sligh was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in 1967. He wasn't put to much use, playing in just eight games and sitting on the bench during Super Bowl II.
Shortest: In the early days of the NFL—when it was essentially a regional, semiprofessional league, a 5'0"-tall guy named Jack Shapiro played in just one game in 1929, as a back, for the now defunct Staten Island Stapletons.
The new NBA season has begun, so here's a statistical survey of sports sizes.
Tallest: Romanian-born Gheorghe Muresan center, at 7'7". He came to the NBA after playing professionally in France. Drafted by the Washington Bullets in 1993, he averaged a respectable 9.8 points over his seven-year NBA career, as well as 1.5 blocks. However, Muresan is probably best known for his of-court activities—he starred in the 1998 movie My Giant with Billy Crystal (Muresan played the giant).
Shortest: Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues played in the NBA from 1987 to 2001, despite being just 5'3" tall. Being small in the NBA means being fast, and Bogues was adept at assists and steals—he's the Charlotte Hornets' all-time leader in both categories.
Biggest: Featuring players who are routinely more than seven feet tall, the NBA is naturally going to have players who weigh a lot. However, only 12 players in league history have ever weighed more than 300 pounds. Among that group are Jerome "Big Snacks" James, Robert "Tractor" Traylor, and Charles Barkley. The heaviest player in NBA history: Oliver Miller, who played for five teams in the 1990s and weighed 375 pounds.
Sometimes creative accounting pays off. Here are a few examples of
weird sports contracts throughout history.
Heir Jordan
Unlike their counterparts in the big leagues, the average first-year minor league baseball players is paid about $1,100 a month. But not Michael Jordan. After retiring from a spectacular basketball career in 1993 to give pro baseball a try, Jordan signed with the farm system of the Chicago White Sox. At the time, the White Sox organization was owned by Jerry Reinsdorf, who also owned Jordan's old basketball team, the Chicago Bulls. Sensing that Jordan might come back to the NBA some day if baseball didn't work out (it didn't), Reinsdorf paid Jordan $4 million in 1994 and 1995 to play minor league baseball, the same he would've been paid had he stayed in the NBA.
