About The Author
ANNA MARY SEWELL (1789-1884) was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England to Isaac Phillip Sewell and Mary Wright Sewell. Educated at home until age twelve, Sewell attended school for the first time after her family moved to Stoke Newington. At fourteen, she slipped while walking home from school and severely injured both of her ankles. Most likely due to inappropriate treatment of her injuries, Sewell remained disabled for the rest of her life and could not walk or stand without a crutch. Her need for horse-drawn carriages and her constant close proximity to horses lead to her increased awareness and concern for their humane treatment. Sewell wrote BLACK BEAUTY, her only published work, from 1871 to 1877 amid declining health. Her goal was to encourage the kind treatment of horses, though the work has remained popular as a children's classic. Sewell died on April 25, 1878, five months after BLACK BEAUTY's publication. JANE SMILEY (foreword) is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A THOUSAND ACRES and more than ten other works of fiction, as well as three works of nonfiction, including a critically acclaimed biography of Charles Dickens. In 2001 she was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. She lives in northern California.

TOKYO - Some buyers will have to wait until April next year for deliveries of the latest Toyota Prius because of shortages of a new battery that's adding to production delays from the March earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The launch Friday of the more spacious "Prius a," or "Prius alpha," a revamp of Toyota's popular gasoline-electric hybrid, had been initially set for April. But the March 11 magnitude-9.0 earthquake in northeastern Japan destroyed key parts suppliers and forced a delay.
Toyota's U.S. sales and marketing headquarters is in Torrance.
The parts shortage has disrupted production at Toyota's Japanese plants and the automaker has said production won't be completely back to pre-disaster levels until late this year. The battery shortage was an issue even before the earthquake.
The new Prius model, which looks like a station wagon or a tiny minivan, comes in two versions - one seating five people, set to go on sale in North America later this year as the "Prius V," and one with three rows seating seven people, being offered in Europe mid-2012 called "Prius +."
The one with three rows of seats, which starts at 3 million yen ($37,000) in Japan, is equipped with a new kind of battery called lithium-ion for the first time in a Toyota hybrid.
The one seating five people, which starts at 2.35 million yen ($29,000), and earlier Prius models have nickel-metal hydride batteries. The lithium-ion battery takes up less space, allowing for more cabin room.
Toyota executive Satoru Mouri said only 1,000 of the Prius with the lithium-ion batteries could be produced a month. Toyota is planning to produce 2,000 of the other model a month, and is trying to increase production, he said.
Toyota is aiming to sell 2,000 of the new Prius a month in North America, and another 2,000 a month in Europe.
Buyers have had long waits for previous Prius models. But the wait this time for some could be especially long, lasting until April next year, according to Toyota.

Adverse selection, competition, and linear self-insurance
A two-class insurance model is analysed. In addition to a competitive insurance market, the households can use a simple linear self-insurance technology. Using the recently proposed Coalition Proof Equilibrium with Private Information due to Kahn and Mookherjee (1995) the insurance market equilibrium is found to be either separating or pooling. There may be profits in equilibrium. The self-insurance option can, but does not necessarily, promote more efficient allocation of consumption; self-insurance may be dysfunctional, lowering welfare. The model is applied to a competitive private pension market where the households in addition can save in a bequeathable asset.

|This character exists primarily within the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog continuity.
Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The High Voltage Flimflammer, also known as Robot Carney, is a character that appears in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog television series. It is a croupier Badnik who operated a shell game on behalf of Smiley. He has a gold tooth and a small mustache.
The robot was used to get a group of Sheep to gamble away their freedom and have to work for Robotnik the rest of their lives.
Initially, the robot played fairly, but moved its hands at speeds too fast for the Sheep to follow. However, Sonic's eyes were even faster and managed to correctly identify which shell the pea was hidden under. When the robot resorted to cheating, Sonic realized this and upturned the other two shells. Not able to deal with defeat, the robot exploded.[1]
- The robot was unnamed during the episode, but Sonic referred to it as a "High Voltage Flimflammer."

完美做旧效果,纯正美式风范。We The Free是独家自营品牌。
Adorable and comfy
I got this top to wear to a show and it won't work with what I had planned, but it's so cool and I'll definitely get some good wear out of it. Now, others have said that once you wash it, it starts to come apart, I haven't washed it yet, so I can't speak to that. I did get my normal size, L and it fits loose like it does on the model. I hope I can find it in my size in another color because I love the cut. It's also very forgiving, I have a little pudge around the waist and I can wear it and it doesn't show through.
Easy summer casual
I love the ease of this top. The beautiful worn cotton is soft on the skin, the lovely faux-wrap style of the front is universally flattering. I have no issue with the fit. I've had the green one for a while and it's held up so well that I recently purchased the white and black as well. I think this is a must have shirt for the summer
Ordered this in Ivory - it is close to warm white. Beautiful drape - it could be considered boxy but it hangs nicely. Also can be tucked in on one side if you prefer a more asymmetrical look. Buying it the blue also! Thank you FP!
Good causual top
I love the way this top looks when I hold it back from the back, making it thinner, but just hanging natural, its really boxy. So I am going to have it taken in a bit on the side (it'll still be loose, just look more like it does on the model) and then it will be perfect. a shame tho as its got a good looking rough stitch. I'm 5'6, 130lbs and I got the XS and like I said, I'm going to have it taken in.
Great Staple
I bought this in blue grey color. Its just like it looks online. great fit. I sized down cause i didn't want my chest hanging out. And its not. I plan on getting a lot of use out of it. Contemplating on getting a second one. It's a little pricey for a tank top but worth it :)
Love it
it's a great casual shirt to own, i ended up making a stitch in the shirt so it didn't come open. Im 5 feet talk and quite petite and the XS was pretty big on me. I'd size down if i could. overall really love it. buying in more colours
Beautiful !
I really love this top, exactly what i was expecting from the photos shown, and exactly what i was wanting : ) The 100% cotton is really nice as its spring in Australia so its perfect weather for this top coming into summer ! I bought a size S as I'm usually a 8-10, in Australian sizing, and this is the perfect fit for me ! Absolutely stoked!

The 200th Falcon 7X rolled off the production line at Dassault's Bordeaux-Merignac production facility in southern France on July 9, and the aircraft has since entered the final cabin completion process. "We are especially proud of this milestone," said Dassault Falcon president and CEO John Rosanvallon. "The 7X is clearly the best seller in the current Falcon family and remains one of the most sought-after jets in itscategory."
To date, Dassault Falcon has delivered more than 150 fully outfitted Falcon 7Xs, while another 80 are in various stages of production or cabin completion. The Falcon 7X fleet has logged more than 130,000 flight hours since the first aircraft entered service in 2007 and is in operation in 32 countries.
Rosanvallon said that in the five years since the business jet entered service, Dassault has developed dozens of new options that give customers a "wide range of desirable features." In particular, the company has focused on developing features that increase cabin comfort, including a recently added option for a shower aboard the trijet. A BMW-designed interior option, launched in 2009, introduced subtle curves throughout the interior, creating better flow and visually expanding thecabin.
Dassault has also incorporated new features as standard equipment since entry into service, such as a Rockwell Collins cabin entertainment system equipped with an interactive 3-D moving map and an audio-video on demand system that was first installed on a customer 7X inMay.

The cable guy, the pizza boy, the ditzy model—porn conventions are wonderfully spoofed in the sexy (and genuinely funny) indie flick, Not Another Porn Movie. Determined Joanna Angel's directing an adult movie, but models don't show up, locations are wrong and anti-porn crusaders are on her back. For relaxation, her secretary treats Joanna to some wild dildo action in both openings. Joanna films a hung stud and bad girl brunette in a scorching anal number. Looks like this film will sizzle after all!

How do you check on your arm?
Do you just put the clear cap on instead of the regular one. And then assessment like normal? Or is there more to it?
Answers: yes, but the results arent other the same as in your finger, you might find it seems average in your arm when infact, you could be going low/high.
Pharyngitis(clinical scenario)?yeah, you just put that little clear arm poker cap on top and next check on your arm =] its probably in the instrustions that came with the glucometer too...

A promissory note is a contract between two parties. One party is obtaining a loan from the other, promising to repay the money within a designated period of time. For the loan, the lending party may receive interest on the amount owed until repayment of the loan. Making a promissory note legal requires properly defining the parties, the amount loaned and any interest or collateral due as part of the agreement. As a mutually agreed upon contract, both parties must agree to the terms.
1. Establish the date at the top of the page. The terms and conditions of the promissory note will become effective as of this date unless otherwise specified in the agreement.
2. Define who the two parties are in the promissory note agreement and include contact information. The promisor, also known as an obligor, is the person getting the loan and promising to repay it under the contract terms. The promisee, otherwise known as an olbigee, provides the principal loan value.
3. Establish the "consideration" of the contract. This means that the promisee will get something such as interest in return ("in consideration of") for lending the money to the promisor. Maximum interest rates are defined by state securities boards; contact your local state board to ensure the consideration falls within legal guidelines.
4. Write the duration of the promissory note. Establish when the loan starts, when it should be repaid in full and the frequency of interest.
5. Create signature lines at the bottom of the promissory note, one for each party to sign.
6. Print two copies of the promissory note. Have both parties sign both copies and retain one for each respective set of records.
Things Needed
- Word processing program
- Printer
- Paper
- Pen
- The State of Texas Securities Board states that if no interest rate is agreed upon, the promisee may charge up to 6 percent per year of interest on the principal amount starting on the 30th day after the amount was due. This means late payments may accrue interest even if not indicated in the contract.
- Although a witness is not required in most jurisdictions, you may want to finalize signatures in front of a neutral third party. The witness serves to verify that both parties indeed signed the document. You can have a witness sign the document as "Witness" below both party's signatures.

May 29, 2014 - By Alejandra Silva, Staff WriterRetiring engineering technician Clyde Anderson with the City of Riverton's Community Development Department was celebrated for his 12 years of service during the Riverton City Council meeting May 20.
Community development director Sandy Luers presented Anderson with a watch showing a bucking horse and his dates of service of Oct. 7, 2002, to May 16, 2014.
Anderson was first employed in the public services department, and Luers said he has offered the city "very diverse" abilities.
"We all agree he's been great to work with ... always tried to do what was asked of him," she said. "I know he loved working for the city, and he was a very dedicated employee."
Anderson performed several duties, including utility inspections; curb and gutter and side walk inspections; and mapping for utilities, zoning, plats and replats, annexations and city limit boundaries.
"He answered many questions by residents, developers and contractors about sewer and water locations and storm water locations," she said. "He also printed posters of the council goals each year and made maps of the ward boundaries for campaign and voting purposes."
Luers said he also helped decorate and drive a float to represent the city for the fair parade last year and also helped coordinate the sewer lateral protection program for the city.
"It takes a special kind of person to watch those videos and then to deal with customers and contractors usually on an emergency basis," Luers said. "When people's toilets won't flush, they tend to get a little bit cranky, but Clyde did what needed to be done and usually with a smile."
Anderson gave a humble thank you and accepted his gift. Mayor Ron Warpness praised him for his work and wished him a pleasant retirement.

Frank Stoltze Correspondent
Frank Stoltze is an award-winning correspondent who currently covers criminal justice and public safety issues for KPCC.
Frank reports on racial bias, community policing, gangs, the use of force, technology, and generally what works and what doesn't at law enforcement agencies in the region.
Over more than two decades in Southern California, Frank has covered L.A. City Hall, national political conventions and all manner of breaking news – from the Rodney King riots to wildfires, earthquakes and the death of Michael Jackson. His awards include Golden Mikes for coverage of Skid Row and a documentary on the historic recall of California Governor Gray Davis.
Frank was named a Distinguished Journalist by the L.A. Society of Professional Journalists and was twice awarded Radio Journalist of the Year by the L.A. Press Club. He was a Guggenheim Fellow at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Center on Media, Crime and Justice and USC's Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism.
After graduating from Southern Methodist University, Frank first reported for radio in San Luis Obispo, covering the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. He is a contributor to NPR, the BBC, The Takeaway and The California Report. Frank is based at KPCC's downtown bureau, a stone's throw from Central Market tortas.
Stories by Frank Stoltze
Governor, Assembly Speaker Promote Dueling Redistricting Measures
Governor Schwarzenegger on Tuesday helped hand in more than enough signatures to place a redistricting initiative on the November ballot. He did so on the same day outgoing Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez introduced his own measure. Nunez wants the legislature to place his idea on the ballot this fall too. KPCC's Frank Stoltze says both measures are designed to end the practice of state legislators drawing the boundaries of their own districts.
Thousands March in L.A. for Immigration Reform
A mostly Latino crowd of thousands took part in several marches in Los Angeles on Thursday. The protesters called for immigration reform, amnesty, and an end to workplace raids by federal immigration agents. The protest took place a year to the day after much larger protests in L.A. ended in violence. KPCC's Adolfo Guzman-Lopez and Frank Stoltze followed this year's demonstrations.
May Day Victim Returns to Park, Recounts Last Year's Rally
As thousands of protesters planned to gather in downtown L.A., Juan Carlos Bautista's thoughts were on last year. He's from Mexico and has lived in Los Angeles for five years. Bautista overcame painful memories to return to MacArthur Park Thursday. Last year, the 33-year-old construction worker and his four-year-old son had a harrowing encounter with riot police as they marched for immigration reform. He spoke with KPCC's Frank Stoltze. Attorney Jorge Gonzalez translated.
LAPD Says Training Has Improved Treatment of Crowds, Media
Thursday is May Day, and thousands are expected to turn out in Los Angeles for immigrant rights marches. Last year, a day of peaceful protests ended at L.A.'s MacArthur Park in what's become known as the May Day Melee. L.A. police officers in riot gear clubbed and fired rubber bullets at marchers and journalists. As KPCC's Frank Stoltze reports, the LAPD has been working to prevent a similar incident.
Ridley-Thomas and Parks Debate
Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard Parks and State Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas engaged in a feisty debate last night. Parks and Ridley-Thomas are the two leading candidates to replace retiring County Supervisor Yvonne Burke. Her district includes Culver City, Inglewood, South LA, Compton and Carson. KPCC's Frank Stoltze has more on last night's exchange.
Candidates for LA County Supervisor Hold First Televised Debate
Los Angeles City Councilman Bernard Parks and State Senator Mark Ridley-Thomas traded barbs in their one and only televised debate last night. They're campaigning to replace retiring County Supervisor Yvonne Burke. Her district includes Culver City, Inglewood, South LA, Compton and Carson. KPCC Morning Edition host Steve Julian spoke with Frank Stoltze, who covered Thursday night's debate.
L.A. City and County Release Proposed Budgets for Fiscal 2008-2009

State Panel Raises Concerns About Legal Representation for Indigent Defendants
A state panel is raising concerns about the way California provides legal representation to criminal defendants who can't afford attorneys. KPCC's Frank Stoltze says the panel found the quality of representation is uneven across the state and that sometimes it falls short of the constitutional minimum.
Mayor Outlines Plan to Fight Gang Violence in State of the City Address
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on Monday delivered his annual State of the City Address at police headquarters. Villaraigosa focused many of his comments on his plan to improve gang prevention programs. KPCC's Frank Stoltze was there.
L.A. Mayor Releases Details of Gang Plan
Los Angeles city leaders say they're making a historic shift in the way they try to remove kids -- and keep them -- from the reach of gangs. Instead of spreading programs across the city, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says he'll focus resources on a dozen of the city's most gang- infested areas. His decision follows a series of high profile gang shootings. KPCC's Frank Stoltze has more.
L.A. Mayor Villaraigosa to Talk Gangs, Deficit in State of the City Address
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa delivers his State of the City address tonight. Most at City Hall agree that the big problem L.A. faces now is a $400 million budget deficit. KPCC's Frank Stoltze has a preview of the speech.
L.A. Mayor Delivers State of the City Address
Transportation, education, gang violence, and a huge budget deficit. All were on the agenda as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa gave his third State of the City speech Monday night. KPCC's Frank Stoltze was there, and joined Shirley Jahad with a recap.
High Gas Prices Raise Concern; Airline Industry Faces Turbulence; Live Nation Expands
KPCC business analyst Mark Lacter talks about a recent poll which suggested that high gas prices are the biggest economic concern for many people; the airline industry faces a bumpy ride as some airlines go out of business; and the Beverly Hills company Live Nation is betting on some superstars to expand its business.

John Grady
Professor of Sociology, Emeritus
I am interested in using a wide array of information -- testimony, material culture, numerical information and images -- to understand how our institutions developed, are organized and what their study tells us about the kinds of people we are becoming. Are cities livable? How should health care be improved? How important is technology for addressing our environmental problems? What makes work rewarding and can it be balanced with our other obligations to our families and communities? How familiar do we have to be with statistics to make sense of how the world is structured and where it is headed? It is questions like these that inform and infuse my teaching and research.
Ph.D., Brandeis University (Sociology)
A.M., Yale University (Anthropology)
A.B., Boston College (English, Asian Studies)
Research Interests
Professor Grady's research focuses on the impact and significance that the material world of nature and human artifacts has on social organization and daily life; the use of visual imagery in social research and analysis; and making documentary films.

The drug is Food and Drug Administration-approved to treat opioid-induced constipation in adults with chronic, non-cancer pain.
Salix Pharmaceuticals and Progenics Pharmaceuticals announced that the Food and Drug Administration approved Relistor (methylnaltrexone bromide) subcutaneous injection in 12-mg dosage strength to treat constipation in patients taking opioids for chronic, non-cancer pain.
At 42 years old, Gina Libby has lived with chronic pain for more than 20 years. Yet, it hasn't stopped her from making an impact; she's on the front lines of pain advocacy, using her experience to influence healthcare policy and teach others.
Galena Biopharma has purchased rights to a treatment for breakthrough cancer pain from a Swedish drug maker, Galena said Monday.

Hurray? 'Savvy Fiat Scooped Up Chrysler (From Obama) For A Song'
In Friday's USA Today, columnist James Healey celebrated how "Savvy Fiat scooped up Chrysler for a song." There was no effort to explain why Team Obama would sink billions into a Chrysler bailout so it could help an Italian carmaker prosper.
"Fiat's agreement to buy the remaining 41.5% to own all of Chrysler reeks of financial savvy," wrote Healey. "Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has engineered 'a bit of a coup,' said Max Warburton, industry analyst at Bernstein Research." A coup of the president and the TARP managers?
"He's being called 'Maestro,'" noted Bernard Swiecki, Industry analyst at the not-for-profit Center for Automotive Research.
The deal for Fiat North America to buy the rest of Chrysler for $4.35 billion from the United Auto Workers retiree health trust was disclosed in an announcement Wednesday. Triggering the praise for Marchionne:
-- Fiat will have bought an entire car company — a healthy, profitable one now — for about $6.3 billion, including money it's already paid. That's relative peanuts. Daimler-Benz paid $37 billion for Chrysler in 1998. Cerberus Capital and a group of investors paid Daimler $7.4 billion for 80% of Chrysler in 2007.
-- Among the Chrysler assets Fiat acquires is $12 billion cash.
-- By using Chrysler's own cash for some of the purchase price, Fiat avoids borrowing.
At Human Events, John Berlau offered the conservative point of view missing in USA Today:
"Much of Chrysler's profits from its overhauled line are going to prop up Fiat's failing, money-losing Italian business, rather than to expanding production and jobs in the U.S. Moody's had downgraded Fiat's credit rating to "junk" even before the Obama administration arranged for it to acquire a Chrysler stake, and in Autumn 2012 Moody's gave Fiat another downgrade that the Financial Times described as even "further into 'junk' territory."
...In the 2009 deal overseen by the Obama administration's auto task force, Fiat paid no money to acquire its initial 20 percent stake in Chrysler — only contributing some of its intellectual property, instead. Fiat would later pay $2.2 billion to raise its stake in the company to 58.5 percent.
Continuing the bailout shell game, Fiat will now pay fellow bailout recipient UAW $4.4 billion for its stake in Chrysler. All the while, the U.S. government has pitched in more than $12 billion in taxpayer infusions.
In "saving" the American auto industry, Obama gave an American company away. And he gave it away at the expense of pension funds and other secured creditors, which were given a much smaller stake in the new company than they would have been given under traditional bankruptcy proceedings.

Submitted to: Springer Verlag

Publication Acceptance Date: 1/1/2011

Citation: Johnston, C.A., Foreyt, J.P. 2011. Obesity management. In: Grundy, S.M., editor. Atlas of Atherosclerosis and Metabolic Syndrome. Philadelphia: Current Medicine, Springer. p. 207-225. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Rates of obesity in the United States have increased dramatically over the past 30 years. Approximately 35% of children and 66% of adults are currently considered overweight or obese. Although obesity is seen in all ethnicities and economic classes, ethnic minorities and those of lower socioeconomic status disproportionately have obesity and its related morbidities. Not only are the rates of obesity high, the increase in prevalence continues to steadily climb. Although overweight and obesity have become public health risks in the United States, it has become clear that obesity is a global issue affecting both developed and developing countries. Overweight and obesity correspond with higher rates of related disease. Health consequences include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory issues, and some types of cancer (e.g., breast, prostate, colon). Higher body mass indices also are associated with an increase in all-cause mortality. Although the health consequences of obesity are most severe in adults, children are experiencing what were previously though of as adult morbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. The causes of obesity are clearly multifactorial. Although the major determinants of obesity are highly debated, most agree that this disease is a combination of genetic, physiological, social, environmental, and behavioral factors. The multiple determinants of obesity increase the difficulty of treating this disease. However, given its high prevalence and incidence, the need to identify effective prevention and treatment strategies is clear. Initial treatment goals are typically 10% weigh loss, as this amount has been shown to have significant health improvements. A reasonable timeframe for this amount of weight loss is about 6 months. Multiple efforts have been made to address the obesity epidemic in terms of both treatment and prevention, including advances in diet and physical activity; interventions involving families, schools, and communities; pharmacotherapy; and surgery. Despite such efforts, the increasing prevalence and degree of overweight continues to increase.

The official dance remix will be released right after Adam Lambert's performance on 'American Idol'.
An official revamped version of Adam Lambert's "Aftermath" was remixed by Billboard, and it has made its radio debut on Ryan Seacrest's radio show. "Billboard turns the song into a fresh new dance pop anthem to blast on the radio and in the clubs!" Adam excitedly stated.
"[The song] was written about finding the courage to be honest with yourself and the people who love you," he added. "It's about facing adversity and taking risks in the name of personal liberation. The song takes on different meanings to different listeners. I hope this song inspires people to be who they truly want to be... and dance!"
Adam Lambert will perform an acoustic version of the song on "American Idol" this coming Thursday, March 10. Immediately after his "Idol" performance, the Billboard remix will be made available for download with part of the proceeds going to support The Trevor Project, an organization which focuses on crisis intervention and suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth.

Teaming up to promote their movie in Toronto, Canada on the weekend, Weisz opted for a long dress while Hiddleston looked dapper in a formal suit.
Toronto International Film Festival is still underway and Rachel Weisz has become another star who showed up at the TIFF BELL Lightbox venue to promote "The Deep Blue Sea". Coming without the companion of hubby Daniel Craig, the "Mummy" beauty was joined by co-star Tom Hiddleston at the event which took place on Sunday, September 11.
Donning a long dress, Weisz was all smiles when being pictured alongside Hiddleston who put his arm on her waist. The actor, meanwhile, looked sharp in a black and white outfit while tagging along his wife to the special screening. Director Terence Davies was also present to support the event.
Earlier in the same day, Weisz and Hiddleston who play a couple in the movie hit the Variety Studio At Holt Renfrew where they had interviews with reporters. The 41-year-old British actress wore a Giambattista Valli dress for the occasion while the "Thor" actor opted for a casual shirt.
"The Deep Blue Sea" is set in the 1950s London where Weisz's Hester Collyer leads a privileged life as the beautiful wife of high court judge Sir William Collyer. To the shock of those around her, she walks out on her marriage to move in with young ex-RAF pilot, Hiddleston's Freddie Page, with whom she has fallen passionately in love.
Starring also Simon Russell Beale as Weisz's on-screen husband, this period drama still has no U.S. release date.

A wonderful and cost-effective family holiday: Carnival Spirit Cruise Review by jobanje
Overall Member Rating
A wonderful and cost-effective family holiday
Destination: South Pacific
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Embarkation took a little while as our check-in lady seemed to be having multiple computer challenges or perhaps she was inexperienced but we got there in the end. It wasn't hard to find our cabin and although a little squishy for the four of us (kids are eight and 11 years old), we found we did ok. There was certainly adequate cupboard and drawer space for all our stuff and room under the beds for the empty suitcases. All the amenities in our cabin were perfectly adequate for us and the cabin was clean, as was the adjoining bathroom. The pull-out clothes line in the bathroom could have been a bit longer - it was only the width of the shower and therefore only good for drying one or two bathing suit items at a time - I have More previously travelled on P&O and their clothes line was twice the length, but really it was only a small fault.
Our cabin steward Made, from Indonesia, was very friendly and helpful and made a point of remembering all our names from Day One. He did not intrude at inappropriate times and also had our cabin looking great. The kids especially loved the towel animal creations he left for them during the nightly turn-down service.
We were very impressed with the Empire dining room, especially the quality and presentation of the food but the best thing was the level of service. We tended to eat early and our waitress Mariola and drinks waiter Dewa learned and remembered our names from Day One also. They went out of their way to make each dining experience wonderful, including Mariola's riddles for us to solve, involving toothpick configurations etc which had us puzzling away and passed the time waiting for our food, which arrived quickly anyway. Also each evening there was some form of entertainment for us to involve ourselves in if we wished, the Nutbush, the Macarena, Gangnam style dance and the longest conga line I have ever participated in. We sometimes ate lunch in the Empire dining room also, the service being a little slower but no less friendly.
For breakfast and snacks we availed ourselves of the La Playa Grill on the Lido deck which had an abundance of food choices, all free. Some of the numerous buffet counters remained the same but others changed cuisine throughout the cruise. You could have coffee made by a barista if you wanted to pay for it but the self-serve coffee was fine. Out by the pool was another buffet serving hamburgers, chips etc and there was 24 hour soft serve icecream. All of the above mentioned food was also free. I believe the pizza was also 24 hours - I didn't try it but my friend and children did and were not overly impressed with it. Drink prices were very reasonable, we found.
There was an enormous variety of activites to participate in day and night and we enjoyed the shows. The dancers were kind of Solid Gold, if anyone remembers back to those days, but it is probably hard to do anything too technical on a floor that can shift under your feet. There was a hypnotist who was very funny and we had great fun with family karaoke on our first night.
The smaller island ports (Isle of Pines and Lifou) were beautiful and I highly recommend snorkelling at the Natural Aquarium on Isle of Pines. Noumea was a bit ordinary and I found the tour I did - 3 hours of Noumea highlights which included 90 minutes of free time at a shopping precinct - was not worth the money. There was no way you needed 90 minutes to look at those shops so most people picked an eating venue and passed the time that way. Later on we went to the shopping area in the main street of Noumea and again found that the variety of items for sale was a bit limited and tacky.
Tendering out to the smaller islands was trouble free and we never had to wait for a tender. The islanders were lovely and friendly.
On board ship, there were plenty of games to be played on the very top deck including basketball, soccer, dodge ball, mini golf, ping pong etc. I went to the adults-only Serenity area a couple of times - I think you have to get there early to bags a spot on one of the hammocks or dome couches and I didn't find this area particularly special to be honest - there were plenty of other quiet places on board to relax with a book or drink.
Both kids went to Kids Club activities and enjoyed themselves. We asked for our 11.5 year old to be allowed up to the 12-14 year age group and they let her do this after a successful trial on the first day. The only issue was that the 12-14 age group activities did not start until noon whereas the 6-8 group went from 9am to 11.45. Then the younger child could not go back again in the afternoon until 2pm and had to be picked up again by 3.45 most days. This meant that apart from that hour and three quarters in the afternoon, we always had at least one child with us. After dinner the younger kids could go back at 6.30pm but the older ones not until 8.30pm by which time we had to pick up the younger one because she was tired then go back later and pick up the older one as we were disinclined to allow her to roam the ship alone. So it was really only that short period in the afternoon in which their mother was child-free. I think Carnival could change this to align the kids groups times better - at least put something on in the morning for the 12-14 year olds as well and allow them to commence night activities earlier than 8.30pm.
I hope I've covered everything here. We could find little fault with Carnival and their staff and the cruise. Disembarkation was very quick indeed. For value, we could not go past this holiday - it cost a shade over $3000 for the four of us, all food and entertainment included (not drinks or the fancy Nouveau restaurant). We couldn't have taken the kids to the Gold Coast, for example, for 8 nights for anything like this price once you factored in air fares, accommodation and constant food purchases as youngsters are perpetually hungry. The shore excursions are extra, of course, but they are optional and there's plenty to do on the islands without going on excursions. We found them, mostly, good value for money anyway. I highly recommend this kind of holiday to pretty much anyone and I will certainly be cruising with Carnival again. Less

Cabin review: 5A1120
We were underneath Club Cool which had loud music every night and this kept us adults awake. Next time I think we would be more choosy with the location of our cabin and get one away from the public rooms. We had plenty of cupboard space, not a lot of floor space. We tended to get on top of each other a little bit but you get that with two boisterous kids in a confined space.

Matthew E. Goldman
Tacoma Campus
Investigates the history and forms of Islam, the predominant religion of the Middle East. Particular attention devoted to understanding values, views, and assumptions that are often quite different from those familiar in the secular societies of the West.
Class description
This class will provide an introduction to Islam, its history and beliefs, with a focus on contemporary issues and debates. Since the beginnings of the faith, Muslims have put forward the claim that Islam offers not only a path to salvation in the next world, but also an ideal model for organizing social and political life in this life as well. However, since the passing of the prophet, Muslims have been divided over what, exactly, Islam prescribes for its adherents and the best way to carry out its message. Through examining the debates Muslims have engaged in over the relationships between Islam, the state, society, and the good, this course will enable us to better understand and appreciate the sources of diversity and disagreement within Islamic communities and between Muslims and non-Muslims today.

I tried to change my running style from usaual heelstriking to complete forefoot with only the ball of the foot touching the ground.
Before I started, my average week-km were 90-100 and I was used to ran roughly 25% of that barefoot (for half a year or so).
At first I integrated comlete forefoot striking while running without shoes, and it is the way I like it the most. Altough it works with shoes, the feeling is much better without.
I leveled out at doing 3h per week on forefoot, raising from zero in 6 months.
In the seventh month I was struck with my first metatarsaglia in the left, the weaker foot. It lasted about 3 1/2 weeks and the injury also was in connection with wrong shoes (now I know when you run barefoot or FF you put more pressure on the great toe ball, in shoes significant more on the little (outer) toe ball).
I recovered, started training again, not to fast, a month later my right foot began to hurt in the same way. This is now going on since 6 1/2 weeks, it is decreasing, I guess soon I can start training again, but I am anxious about the right intensity.
Obviously 3h a week are too much for a heathly transition, I am thinking about not more than 2h maybe split in 4x30min (before I did 2x 1,5h).
And taking every fourth week complety off (from forefootstriking), which I also not attented before.
If it would be possible, I would like to run as long as it gets, but I am uncertain about my current level. What can my feet endure, at this stage?
I have to add, there were no warnings signs before, no small pain in which I "ran into", only muscle loading, but that was easy to handle. So I had no clue, "hey, now you´re taking it too far". Both overloadings came all of a sudden.
Which transition rythm would you recommend, maybe taken from other injuries?

CLASSICAL guitar virtuoso Milos Karadaglic may have the world at his fingertips now, playing in some of the world's best-known venues, but he will never forget the transformative power of music during the brutal conflict that tore at the Balkans in the early 1990s. ''Guitar allowed me to live in a beautiful world, no matter what the world outside was.''
Milos, as he's happy to be known, took up the guitar when he was eight in his native Montenegro, despite the tiny country having little tradition of classical guitar. ''The aim initially had been to have fun with music … and as every little boy, yes, I wanted to be popular and be a rock star.
''I was really rubbish at sports, and this is a very important part of your upbringing in a country like Montenegro. I was good at music so I wanted to make up for a lack of sports skills.''
Despite being selected for state-run music school, he grew bored with its traditional style of teaching. His always supportive father dusted off an old LP to show him what classical guitar music was really like.
''Among the Beatles and Bee Gees and Rolling Stones, there was a record of Segovia,'' he says, referring to Spanish classical guitarist Andres Segovia, who died in 1987.
''When I heard Asturias it completely changed my mind, completely changed my world, and I felt it was the most exciting thing I'd heard.''
Milos threw himself into his studies, touring Montenegro, featuring on TV and radio, and eventually moving to London and launching a career that culminated in 2011's award-winning album The Guitar.
His unique renditions of compositions by Tarrega, Albeniz, Granados, Domeniconi and even Bach have made him a superstar in the classical world, winning Young Artist of the Year and Specialist Classical Chart awards at the 2011 Gramophone Awards, as well as Breakthrough Artist of 2012 at the Classical BRIT Awards. He's played at the Royal Albert Hall in London and Carnegie Hall in New York.
But he's passionate about taking the instrument to a broader audience. ''I made a conscious decision to open up to the world that I live in and play this guitar for everybody, not just for a select few classical guitar connoisseurs,'' he said.
He cites his experience playing music during the conflict in the Balkans as evidence of its transformative power.
''Montenegro was in the war, but the war was not on our streets,'' he says. ''But you could actually feel it and hear it, you could feel that things were bad, you could sense that something horrible was going on.''
He says his audiences get an intimate show, even when he plays larger venues.
''Every hall, every city, every country has a different energy and you pick that energy up, you process it through your music, yourself and your guitar, and you push it back,'' he says. ''It's a wonderful exchange of emotion.''
Milos Karadaglic plays at the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, on Saturday, December 1 from 8pm.

2008Q1 Reports: EACL
EACL Report, January 2008
Alex Lascarides, Chair Giorgio Satta, Chair-elect Anette Frank, Secretary Mike Rosner, treasuer
1. ACL 2007 in Prague
ACL 2007 was jointly hosted by EACL and ACL. EACL were thrilled at the record number of participants, and we are very grateful to everyone who worked hard to make this a successful conference. We are waiting to hear from the ACL treasurer what the financial results were, as they affect the EACL accounts.
This will take place in Athens from March 30th--April 3rd. The chairs for EACL 2009 have now been chosen:
Local Organising Chair: Vangelis Karkaletsis Programme Chairs Claire Gardent Joakim Nivre Sponsorship Chairs Josef van Genabith Philipp Koehn Tutorials Chairs Emiel Krahmer David Weir Workshop Chairs Steve Clark Miriam Butt Demos Chairs Jorn Kreutel Publications Chairs David Schlangen Kemal Oflazer
We're still waiting to hear from ACL and NAACL who the Asian and US members of the sponsorship team will be. Under the new arrangements for conference sponsorship, Philipp and Josef are also sponsorship chairs for ACL 2009 and NAACL 2009.
While the original Athens bid was to host the conference at a large 4* hotel in a central location (Divani Caravel), Vangelis and his team have managed to negotiate a fantastic deal at Megaron Mousikis (www.megaron.gr), the premier conference venue in Athens. This site is also the cultural centre, housing the main concert hall in Athens and a number of smaller theatres and galleries. It is extremely well located: very central with excellent metro connections to all parts of Athens, and many hotels of varied class and price all within a 5 minute walk. I'm confident that this will be a fantastic venue for EACL 2009.
3. EACL Sponsorships
EACL sponsored students attending ESSLLI 2007 in Dublin, valuing 3000 Euros in total.
4. Financial report:
31/12/2005 8,832
INCOME Income from ACL ($5000) 3,869
3,869 3,869 EXPENSES EACL Foundation -102 Sponsorships -5,627 EACL06 Expenses Tutor -2,440 Inv Spk -2,627 PC Mtg -4,390
tot -9,457 -9,457
tot expenses -15,186 -15,186
31/12/2006 -2,485
The above figures are not yet finalised. We are still waiting on the final outcome of ACL 2004, which made a loss. The above report also only records transactions to 31st December 2006. Thus it takes into account some expenditure for EACL 2006, but none of its income. Initial financial reports show that EACL 2006 made a profit (of around 17K euros); so our rough current balance is a surplus, rather than a deficit as shown above, of around 12K euros. The updated finanical report, including all activity in 2007, will be presented in May.
5. EACL Officers
There are no personnel changes on the EACL board this year. The next big changes will be in January 2008.
6. EACL Student Board
Nuria Bertomeu has finished her PhD unexpectedly early, and will leave Saarland in January. Her tenure on the student board, however, was due to last until June. The EACL board have asked her to stay on the student board until June, to give us time to elect another member, and she has agreed to stay on until June as originally planned. We are currently exploring the ways in which procedures for electing members of the student board might be changed so as to avoid this situation in future. And we are currently actively seeking a replacement for Nuria.
Alex Lascarides, Anette Frank, Giorgio Satta and Mike Rosner represent EACL on the ACL 2010 committee. The deadline for bids to host ACL 2010 is on February 15th 2008. We look forward to working with other members of the committee to choose the venue.

Melissa Jenkins Teacher
March 27, 2012 by staff
Melissa Jenkins Teacher, Vermont police believe they have found the body of a 33-year-old school teacher who had been reported missing. Melissa Jenkins, a single mom, hadn't been seen since Sunday night.
