Back in my late teens and early 20's, I was well aware of street harassment. I understood that walking past a construction crew could very well lead to some lewd and inappropriate comments. I had a patented side-eye to send to any man who whistled or cat-called. If they got angry that I didn't respond to their cheap come-ons favorably, well then I had some words for them to go with my side-eye.
I have always believed that street harassment, the sexual comments that get hurled at women when they're in public, were inappropriate and abusive. There is nothing "complimentary" about having a stranger jeer at you, as if your body exists simply for them to enjoy and admire.
But I have to admit that since I became a mother, I really stopped worrying about street harassment. When you're carrying a child, the only comments you get used to are coos from random women over cuteness. It had never even crossed my mind that I would have to deal with street harassment when my daughter was with me. And for five years, I've never had to.
Then, I was walking through the grocery store with my little girl sitting in the cart in front of me. We were pushing our way towards the check-out, chatting about her day at school. Suddenly, a middle-aged man came up over my should and said, loud enough for those nearby to hear and understand, "Damn girl, you workin' that ass." He grinned and winked, before skipping off to join a friend at the front of the store. I stood there, momentarily stunned.
I was wearing flats, jeans, a t-shirt and a long knit vest. My hair was in a messy bun and there wasn't a stitch of make-up on my face. I am not saying this because a girl who wears stilettos and a mini-skirt somehow "deserves" to get harassed. Not at all! I'm simply stating this to explain that mentally, I wasn't even considering the idea that a man would be trying to hit on me, or even notice me. I was relaxed, with my hair up and my attention focused squarely on whether or not I grabbed low-fat vanilla yogurt.
More than anything, I was with my daughter. I wasn't just some girl on the street. I was a mom, with a young child sitting in front of me. For some reason, I felt like that little girl was a shield. I felt like being a mother put me above all of that cat-calling. Who would make a comment about my ass in front of my young child?
I wish I could say that I turned around and told that man off. I wish I could say that I grabbed his picture to post on Hollaback, so that the world could see this man who felt it appropriate to harass me in front of my child. I wish I had shown my daughter, a little girl who I want to grow up knowing that she deserves respect from those around her, how to shut down a guy who thinks that a loud, public comment about a woman's ass is somehow a compliment.
More than anything, I wish that we didn't live in a culture where I'm upset and shaken by this event, but the man who harassed me probably never gave it a second thought. He has no idea just how offended I am. He never even thought about the little girl I had with me and how she would perceive a man loudly makes comments about her mother's appearance.
That night, I had a talk with my daughter. I had to sit down and explain to a child who still didn't understand what harassment, or sex for that matter, even was, that commenting about another person's body like was not okay. The words that man used when he spoke to us were not okay. And when my little girl asked why he would say such a thing, why he would use bad words with us, I had to explain that some people don't respect others like they should. Unfortunately, I fear that this will be the first of many talks about bodily respect that I'll have to have with my daughter.
It turns out, motherhood is not a protective bubble. My child does not protect me from the harassment that millions of women experience as they're simply trying to go about their day, running errands or walking to work. Just like it doesn't matter what you're wearing or where you're at, children will not stop men who have no respect for the women they cat-call and jeer at.
I guess I'll just have to consider this a wake-up call. And next time, I'll be much more prepared to tell some guy exactly what he can do with those comments about me and my ass.

A&O power chip firm to buy Oregon fab
4 comments
LONDON Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Ltd., a power semiconductor IC vendor with strong connections in China, has said it intends to buy a 200-mm wafer fab owned by Integrated Device Technology Inc. and located in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Under a foundry supply agreement with IDT (San Jose, Calif.) Alpha and Omega (AOS) has the option to acquire the fab for $26 million if it exercises the option between Sept. 1 and Nov. 15, 2011. AOS is officially based in Hamilton, Bermuda, but has a main office in Sunnyvale, Calif.
AOS has hitherto been a fabless vendor of power semiconductors and reportedly has used Hua Hong NEC in China to manufacture its chips, which are distributed in Asia and sold extensively into the notebook, netbook and mobile phone sectors. In the financial year to June 30, 2011 AOS made a net income of $37.8 million on sales revenue of $361.3 million.
"The expected acquisition of this wafer fabrication facility will enable us to transition from our current fabless business model to a fab-lite model to support our expected growth beyond the current level," said Mike Chang, chairman and CEO of AOS, in statement. "Other benefits that we expect include quicker response to customer demands and enhanced relationships with strategic customers."
"We initiated our relationship with IDT under a foundry service arrangement, and through close collaboration, we were able to transfer certain products to, as well as develop new technologies at, the IDT facility. Accordingly, we believe that the production ramp-up period following the acquisition would be shortened as we are already receiving production wafers in low volume from IDT," said Ephraim Kwok, CFO of AOS.
"This announcement marks an important phase in IDT's transition to a fabless semiconductor company. Our system solution strategy requires access to a wide variety of process technologies and an ecosystem of outsourced manufacturing partners. Two years ago, IDT entered into a product fabrication agreement with TSMC and we are nearing completion of the transfer of our products and process technologies to their fabs." said Ted Tewksbury, president and chief executive officer at IDT, in a separate statement issued by IDT. "The transformation to a fabless model will enable IDT to focus our resources and investments on innovative new product definition and development, while outsourcing manufacturing to industry leading foundry partners."AOS and IDT said they expect to close the transaction prior to Jan. 31, 2012.

Ahead of World Cup, Cape Town Shack Dwellers Relocated
"The housing unit, known as "Blikkiesdorp", is a "temporary relocation area" (TRA). Rules are strict - no building, no cooking outside, no leaving your shack after 10pm. Except for the fact that the residents are human, the unit is hardly any different from that of sci-fi film District 9.
While the government says that the shantytown residents of Symphony Way were moved because they required "emergency housing", one of our Observers who's been to the Blikkiesdorp tells us tells us that the conditions they now live under are much more urgent than the ones they were in before."
More than 15,000 people have been moved here ahead of the World Cup. Photographer Gareth Kingdon lived in the area for a few weeks, and has documented the living conditions there.

Comment on Guilty Crown Bikini Anime by Satonaka:
It's basically "Code Geass-Lite"
What CG managed to do in ONE episode (actually HOOK a majority of the audience)
GC barely managed that around episode 4-5, the one with "The Matrix Bubbles" gotta admit that was some pretty cool shit.
Aside from that one moment tho not much else good to say about the show. The creators or whatnot were recently interviewed and got jumpy when the question got asked to them about "How do you feel about your show being compared to Code Geass?"
I laughed at that moment, as if they didn't fucking know, pff XD

2008 Liquid Force Cab
When we set out to make this boot, we had one thing in mind weight or lack thereof. We wanted to make the lightest binding possible. The Cab was an idea brought to us from several of our riders that tend to poke tricks out more or hit rails more than the average rider. They were less concerned about high end support and more concerned about having a boot that was a featherweight that would let them pop up on the highest rails with ease. By using a thin sidewall, a closed toe overlay, an EVA outsole and reducing overall structure, we created a lightweight jibbing gem of a boot.

Most comfy bindings I have ever ridden with. If you need tons of support/stiff walls, these are NOT for you. These let you grab your board in insane postions. Holds your heel down and foot don't "slide". Very true to their size (my foot is US 9, first bindings were 10-11 and they were too big. 9-10 were right size). Easy to get in and out. On long sessions, if you fall very often, you need to tight them up few times but thats no biggie. Also funny looking.

Janet Jackson's Bangin' Bangs
I don't know who's dressing poor Janet Jackson these days but gosh, she looked horrible last night in her red carpet and performance outfits. What's with the Village Of The Damned bangs? Or the suit as a dress? The cuffs?? Not flattering. At all.
Janet performed a medley of "Pleasure Principle" and "So Excited" in the aforementioned (and very unfortunate) wig. The choreo was hot. The dancing was hot. But did anyone notice the possibly drawn on abs? Did Janet pull a Mariah Carey or what? Watch the video of her performance below!
The 2006 Billboard Music Awards Show was held last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

WASHINGTON (Nov. 8)
Israel and Saudi Arabia came under fire from a senior State Department official this week, who criticized them for "destabilizing" the Middle East by acquiring advanced missile capabilities.
But the official, Richard Clarke, told Congress that it would be wrong for the United States to require either country to destroy missiles as a condition for receiving U.S. arms shipments.
Clarke, who is assistant secretary of state for politico-military affairs, was asked about such linkage during a hearing on the Bush administration's proposed $3.1 billion sale of 315 M1-A2 Abrams tanks to Saudi Arabia, which would also receive support equipment and training services.
Clarke said that Saudi acquisition of Chinese CSS-2 missiles last year was "destabilizing," but added, "It would be more destabilizing to the Middle East if the United States terminated its military relationship with Saudi Arabia."
He said that any U.S. conditioning of the sale would lead the Saudis to "simply go else-where" for weapons.
Clarke did not directly comment on media reports that Israel has supplied South Africa with advanced missile technology, in exchange for a steady supply of South African uranium. But he noted Israel's procurement of Jericho I and Jericho II missiles.
He argued that if the United States curtailed arms sales to Israel until it destroyed the missiles, then "I am afraid we would be reducing the very military edge that we would want to keep" for Israel.
While lawmakers grilled Clarke and other U.S. officials about the proposed sale to Saudi Arabia, none said he would try to block it.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee has not yet decided whether to fight the sale, said a source at the pro-Israel lobby.
But it is not expected to campaign actively against the sale, in order to save its muscle for a possible fight against an anticipated U.S. proposal to sell F-18 or F-16 fighter planes to Saudi Arabia in 1990.
Clarke tried to reassure lawmakers that Israel's military edge over its Arab neighbors is not being eroded, and that "there is not a major weapons system which the Israelis have had in their five-year (procurement) plan that they have been unable to procure."
He said that the administration would seek money from Congress for any Israeli weapons system that the United States felt was necessary, if Israel could not fund it.
"We think they are adequately funded today," he added.

Lower molar and ear pain
I have had severe pain in my lower jaw which spreads into my ear. As far as I know I don`t have any cavities, but chiped my molar some time ago with a toungue piercing. Could this be related and should I go to the ER?
As long as you have no swelling, no fever, no vomiting and no other major health problems, you do not need to go to the ER. You should have your local dentist check your teeth, gums and jaw.

No middle ground in this dispute
I don't write much about the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians.
Mainly, I think, it's because writing about the Palestinians and Israelis is an exercise without profit. There's no way to try to take a reasonable stand on the issues involved and escape vilification.
You're either branded as a stooge for "the Israel lobby" or you're Adolph Hitler. There's no middle ground.
A while back I made the mistake of suggesting that Israel's settlement policy was inching them closer to becoming "the creature of their nightmares."
I suppose I was guilty of fancy writing -- I really liked that phrase -- but from the mail I got you would have thought I'd suggested we go out and break the windows of Jewish shopkeepers.
I don't remember all the names I was called but surely neo-Nazi was one of them, and I was grateful for the "neo-."
Let me be clear about this: I am not a Nazi, neo or otherwise. I am a pro-Semite, a supporter of Israel if not always of its policies. I don't know why people have such a hard time understanding that. After all, I'm a loyal American and half the time I disagree with what this country does.
So I approached President Barack Obama's recent speech on Middle-Eastern politics with sympathy. In it, he suggested that Israel accept the pre-1967 borders -- basically, the ones negotiated in 1949 -- as a basis for restarting negotiations with Palestinians.
Many who know what they're talking about in this field think that's a no-brainer, that any "two-state solution" will have to begin with adjusted pre-1967 borders.
But remember what I said about trying to be reasonable about this subject? It doesn't work. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, dismissed the suggestion as "peace based on illusions." Many of his colleagues were similarly enraged, and Newt Gingrich said it was the worst speech in the history of the world and the end of civilization as we know it. (He says that about something every third day.) No level heads here.
And never mind that Obama also said that Hamas would have to abandon its implacable hatred of Israel before negotiations could go ahead.
"How can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling to recognize your right to exist?" the president asked. "In the weeks and months to come Palestinian leaders will have to provide a credible answer to that question."
To which one can only say: "Good luck with that, Chief."
The real problem is that both adversaries are convinced, with considerable justification, that the conflict between them is existential and that to give ground is to take the first step toward annihilation. It's hard to compromise issues like that.
To the people who still think I'm accusing Israelis of becoming Nazis, let me again deny it.
They're not Nazis and they're not going to be. They're more like the settlers of America. They came onto this continent, faced with people of a different culture. They killed their warriors, appropriated their land, and fenced them off in unpromising areas that no one else wanted. That's basically what the Israelis are trying to do with the Palestinians.
It worked out OK for the settlers, I guess, though not for Native Americans. But times change. I'm not sure it will work out as well for Israel.

Lesson Plan
A Guide to Teaching and Talking About War With Books for Children and Teens
1–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12
Quick links to lesson materials:
War has existed since the beginning of recorded history. Countless histories, novels, plays, and movies have dealt with war. Young people cannot avoid finding out about war, either through these and other sources or, in some cases, from direct experience.
The challenge for parents and teachers is to introduce the topic of war to children and teens in a way that is responsible, honest, and appropriate to their age and level of understanding. Many young people absorb only a few dates and facts with little understanding of the causes of war, the realities of the battlefield, or the devastating consequences for the lives of civilians in war-torn nations. They may need help understanding or dealing with the impact of war on family members whose loved ones leave for long periods of deployment and sometimes never return.
The books on this list — fiction, fact, or fantasy — can help young readers explore these many difficult issues according to their age and level of understanding. Whether you're studying a particular historical period in the classroom, or sitting at the kitchen table with your family, we hope this guide will provide useful ideas for learning, discussion, and understanding.
The discussion questions in this guide support teaching to the following Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. For more guidance, see after each question the specific Standards to which the question correlates.

Hermeto Pascoal | SFJAZZ
Hermeto Pascoal
Even in the creative hothouse of Brazilian music, Hermeto Pascoal stands out as a particularly distinctive character. Affectionately known as "O Bruxo" (The Sorcerer), the ingenius composer and multi-instrumentalist has cultivated a dazzlingly rich musical universe that draws on folkloric styles like frevo, xaxado and forro, with elements of jazz, rock and other musics. On stage, Pascoal cuts a fantastical figure, with his translucent albino skin and flowing white hair. Rushing from instrument to instrument, he creates intricate tapestries of sound that hold together with a powerful internal logic. A prodigy on flute and accordion, Hermeto started performing professionally before his teens, playing dances and festivals around his hometown of Arapiraca. By the mid '60s, Pascoal had formed a series of influential groups with percussionist Airto Moreira, including Sambrasa Trio and Quarteto Novo, which sought to reinterpret the styles of northeastern Brazil through a jazz sensibility. By the end of the decade he was performing and recording with Miles Davis and winning a cult following among luminaries like Gil Evans and Lyle Mays. Meanwhile, Airto became a legend as part of Chick Corea's original Return to Forever in 1972. Pascoal appears in the Bay Area on rare occasion, and this performance is an opportunity to hear one of the major figures in the crossover of Brazilian music and jazz.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/2/2013 (1642 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
IT withstood 1950, 1997 and 2011 floods and every other flood in between.
But it was last year's dry summer that finally did in the grand old bridge spanning the Red River at St. Jean Baptiste.
It took about two seconds to implode the bridge, built in 1947, into rubble Saturday.
"It's devastating. That bridge has been there 65 years," said Paul Sabourin, who farms and runs an aerial spraying business on the east side of the bridge.
"It's a very sad day, there's no doubt about it. No one was smiling here."
Dynamite was used to bring down the bridge. The blast "was quite a bang. She echoed quite a bit up and down the river," said Brent Manning, part of a six-person local committee lobbying to have the bridge replaced.
About 200 local people turned up for the event, parking their snowmobiles and 4x4s, and witnessing the implosion from viewing areas set up to the north and south of the bridge. The blasting and cleanup of the bridge, which began immediately, was handled by Rakowski Cartage and Wrecking.
The dry weather last summer caused the banks to contract, and then a rain storm in the fall caused the banks to slide. The riverbank soil slid into the piers and destabilized them, said Manning, who lives about 15 kilometres east of St. Jean Baptiste and used the bridge regularly. The bridge closed last October.
The town of St. Jean Baptiste is now cut off on the east side. People have received no word from the province on whether a new bridge will be built.
Sabourin said it will be an extraordinary disruption to life in the francophone community.
Everything from the school to the rink, the church, the grocery store and other merchants in St. Jean Baptiste will be hurt by the lack of a bridge, he said. An extra hour will be tacked on to the time kids spend on the school bus to get to school -- a half hour each way. Ditto for everyone else wanting to get to town.
"It's a social and cultural factor, as well as economic factor," said Manning. There are also safety issues. Emergency services will have to travel farther to go east of the bridge, from Morris or Dominion City instead of St. Jean Baptiste, he said.
Manning said the town is now the only community between Winnipeg and the Canada-U.S. border without a bridge spanning the Red.
The community has been told it will hear in April at the earliest if the province plans to replace the bridge. They are also hoping for some federal help from their MP, Vic Toews (Provencher).
The NDP government should have done more to maintain the bridge before it became unstable, said Conservative MLA Cliff Graydon (Emerson) in a press release.

Whitehall Program Uses Seniors To Check On Seniors During Bad Weather
The cold weather and snow are good reminders to check up on your elderly neighbors to make sure they are okay in these conditions.
This is the first winter for a phone program in Whitehall using seniors to help seniors.
The program is not only providing help but is also taking pressure off the police and fire departments.
"I know that if I was in a predicament, somebody would come and get me," said Whitehall resident Neva Richardson.
Richardson is signed up for the phone tree through a group at the Whitehall Senior Center.
"We have a lot of people who live alone that are elderly," said Mayellen Fowler of the Whitehall Senior Citizens Club. "We want to make sure that they are safe and warm."
Fowler says she calls about ten of her members, who in turn contact 10 others on the tree.
If a senior citizen does not respond to the initial call and a follow-up call, then a police officer or a firefighter is sent to do a check.
Those firefighters and police officers carry cards to report if a senior citizen needs food, clothing or heat among other necessities.
"This has helped a lot," said Capt. Allen Scott of the Whitehall Fire Department.
Whitehall police and fire officials say they rely on the phone tree because they do not have the resources or time to personally check on every senior.
"One of the best things this group could do would be contact the other senior citizens and then let us know which ones needed help," Scott said.
Richardson says she has not needed the help yet, but she appreciates getting a call.
"It really made me feel like somebody cares, somebody's looking out for me," Richardson said.

Serves 1. Recipe is from James Jacobs Jr. of Magpie Cafe, Baton Rouge.
Vanilla syrup
Heavy cream
1. In a 2-ounce shot glass, fill a third of the glass with vanilla syrup. Add heavy cream until 2?3 of the shot glass is filled.
2. With the back side of a teaspoon facing upward, pull a shot of espresso into the shot glass so that the espresso rolls over the backside of the spoon into the shot glass. This will allow the espresso to "suspend" onto the vanilla and cream layers. Drink immediately after adding the espresso.

Turn your love of gardening into a career with NIC's new Landscape Horticulture programs starting this February.
Whether you want to work toward your Interprovincial (Red Seal) in Vancouver Island's only Level 1 apprenticeship training in landscape horticulture, or grow your hobby, you can train while you work this winter and graduate in May, just in time for peak gardening season.
The Landscape Horticulture Apprenticeship Training – Level 1 Enhanced program is designed for people employed at landscape companies, municipal parks, golf courses, garden centres, nurseries, and other related horticulture businesses. Study Industry Training Authority-approved curriculum developed by the horticulture industry, while learning the skills to work industry-wide. Courses are offered evenings and weekends in horticulture equipment, plant ID, plant science, plant health, understanding soil, and maintenance skills. NIC's enriched curriculum also includes landscape maintenance and design, giving you extra skills attractive to employers. Up until now, students starting an apprenticeship program have had to go to the mainland to get their training. "Having a part-time apprenticeship program on the Island is a wonderful opportunity for those who want to study horticulture locally", says Anne Kadwell , CEO of HortEducation BC. "It makes it much more affordable and means that they do not have to be away from work or family."
The program gives local landscape companies and apprentices access to industry-recognized skills close to home.
"Landscape Horticulture became a Red Seal Trade in Canada in 2008 and now has provincial certification in BC," says Jim Pelton, Director of Training Delivery at the Industry Training Authority. "Horticulture apprenticeship links learning and employment: participants complete four levels of technical training at an educational institution while accumulating work-based training hours with a sponsor. Apprenticeship benefits the apprentice, the local business sponsor, industry and the community."
Not sure you want to go the apprenticeship route? NIC also offers a part-time Landscape Horticulture Fundamentals certificate this winter.
"We wanted to provide an option for the recreational gardener who wants to increase their knowledge or turn a hobby into a career," says Cheryl O'Connell, NIC's Dean of the School of Continuing Education and Training. "This program is also a good starting point for someone who wants to test the waters before going onto further, or more specialized horticulture training."
Three free information sessions will be held at NIC's Comox Valley campus for prospective employers and students:
- Learn How to Sponsor a Landscape Horticulture Apprentice with HortEducation BC (for employers).
- Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2:30-4:30 pm at the NIC's Trades Training Centre, Rm. 101.
- Landscape Horticulture Programs Information Session (for prospective students & apprentices).
Registration required, see www.nic.bc.ca/continuingeducation to sign up.
- Saturday, Nov. 24, 4-5:30 p.m.
- Thursday, Dec. 6, 6:30-8 p.m.
Contact Julia Peters at 250-923-9724 or email@example.com for further information or visit www.nic.bc.ca.

text: Page Content 1 Closing the G.A.P. Between Ambition and Action Hanson Grant '16 / Saratoga Springs, New York "When I was 18, I left my home in upstate New York and drove across the country to California. I spent four months there, first as a room keeper at Yosemite National Park and then as a ski and snowboard instructor at Squaw Valley Ski Resort in Lake Tahoe. "My G.A.P. semester was an opportunity to broaden my horizons and get a taste of the real world, which helped me enter Babson really motivated and confident." "It wasn't a random decision though—I was taking advantage of Babson's G.A.P. (Grow. Achieve. Prepare.) program. G.A.P. allowed me to start classes in January while staying on track to graduate in four years. "My G.A.P. semester was an opportunity to broaden my horizons and get a taste of the real world, which helped me enter Babson really motivated and confident. That time spent away, free from any expectations, helped me define my sense of self and learn how to exert self-discipline. By the time I started as a first-year in January, I had already been a leader and a teacher out West, and I was ready to take advantage of everything Babson had to offer. "The biggest reason Babson appealed to me was its reputation as a top school for entrepreneurs. I ran my own custom T-shirt company in high school, and I loved the idea of being my own boss. However, when I was the co-CEO of my Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship business, EyeCare for Boston, I also learned to work in a team and adapt to the different personalities involved, delegating responsibility when I understood that it was best for our company. Watch Video "I used the lessons learned from my previous businesses when I was developing my latest venture Think Board, a removable and reusable clear vinyl film that turns any surface into a dry erase board. As the founder and CEO of a rapidly growing business that encourages creative work while saving paper and money, I have a huge opportunity to impact many lives locally and globally, especially in schools and developing countries. "Babson for me is a combination of adventure and business, so when I'm not working on Think Board I'm traveling. Through Babson's BRIC program, I was able to learn about the history, culture, and business environment of Russia, China, and India while visiting local companies and important sites in each country. I also took advantage of Babson's Elective Abroad in Argentina and Uruguay. Every travel experience is eye opening in its own way, showing me the many opportunities entrepreneurs have to add value around the world. Making Connections Jack and Hanson have both started their own businesses » "Before I first came to campus, I wasn't sure what to expect as someone starting college a semester later, but at Babson I've found a home filled with the resources I need to develop as an entrepreneur and person. Just like being on my own during my G.A.P. semester helped me understand myself, being a Babson student on campus and abroad has given me insight into what inspires and motivates others."

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Most of the business left unsettled from this week's Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff will be taken care of on the field in the next few months.

But as the three days of meetings and press conferences wrapped up Tuesday morning, the league's commissioner promised to clear up a few issues before the Holidays.
John Swofford said he expects to name a host site for the conference's championship game "before or shortly after" the start of the season, which begins Aug. 28 with Virginia Tech facing Southern California.
The first ACC title game will be played in December of 2005. Among those cities that have expressed interest in hosting the game are Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C.
Swofford said the proposals from the perspective hosts "exceeded expectations."
"It's a case of making the best decision because we can't make a bad decision based on the proposals," he said.
The league's coaches have their favorites but refused to name them directly. Florida State's Bobby Bowden voiced his preference for a site with a warm, December climate.
Georgia Tech coach Chan Gailey was even more specific.
"Is it in the state below Georgia? Yes," he said. "And it's about four hours from Atlanta."
Assuming he means Jacksonville, the game would be played at Alltel Stadium. The facility is home to one of the ACC's bowl partners, the Gator Bowl, and is within easy driving distance of the league's two biggest football powers, Florida State and Miami.
The ACC will make a two-year commitment to the title game site once it is determined, with an option for two more years. Swofford said he preferred a permanent home for the game to moving it around every couple of years.
"Our thinking is more toward having a home for it," he said, pointing toward the success the Southeastern Conference has had with its game in Atlanta. "It's up to us to find a venue and a city that will truly wrap its arms around it."
Swofford also hopes to help fans wrap their minds around the league's divisional concept, which will also take effect for the 2005 season. The ACC divided its 11 teams plus Boston College, which joins the league in 2005, into two six-team divisions.
The conference drew up the divisions last year, breaking up the teams based on maintaining traditional rivalries and not geography like other leagues such as the SEC and Big 12. The SEC has an East Division and a West Division while the Big 12 is split north and south.
The four North Carolina schools would make for a tough geographic split anyway. The ACC put Florida State, Boston College, Clemson, Maryland, North Carolina State and Wake Forest in one division and Georgia Tech, Miami, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Duke and Virginia on the other.
The ACC has yet to give the divisions names, only adding to the confusion.
"We're trying to be more creative than division A and division B," he said.
But even clever names won't help fans keep the divisions straight, Swofford admitted.

Faisal Al Qassem shocked over brother's expulsion from Egypt
Faisal Qasem, the anchor for Qatar based news network, Al Jazeerah, said that he feels sorry that his brother/singer Majd El Qassem was forced out of Egypt, due to a rift between Jazeerah and Egypt Television.
Faisal said that he would like to know what wrong his brother committed in order to instigate such an action against him; especially since Majd considers Egypt his homeland.
According to Al Bayan newspaper, Al Jazeerah had defamed Egyptian symbols during one of its programs.
Faisal who hosts the popular political series, Al Wajh El Mu'akes (The Opposite View), said to Al Bayan newspaper, "even if I made a mistake, why was my brother involved in what happened?!"
Meanwhile, the brothers, who are originally Syrian, have both been very successful in their work; one political and the other entertaining. – Albawaba.com.

JEREZ, Spain (Reuters) - Formula One tail-enders Marussia put themselves on a more level playing field with rivals Caterham on Tuesday while staying silent on their final driver line-up.
The Russian-licensed team, who for cost reasons have competed since their debut in 2010 without the KERS energy recovery systems that every other team had last year, finally took the technological plunge with their new MR02 car.
Principal John Booth said, after the Cosworth-powered challenger's unveiling in the Jerez pit lane ahead of the first test of the year, that it was a big moment and a 'massive step forward" for a team that has yet to score a point.
"I think it is our first real baby," the Briton told reporters.
"It was said many times during 2012 that...KERS - or the lack of it - was the defining factor in determining our position relative to our immediate competitors," he declared in a statement.
"KERS was however a 'strategic omission' from our package until now; we opted to place the emphasis on aerodynamics, so that when we were in a position to bring the system to the car, we already had the strongest possible basis and its integration would be relatively straightforward."
The car has also been designed with the use of a wind tunnel after the team's previous reliance on computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
British rookie Max Chilton will be one of the team's drivers but there was no confirmation of the second, despite reports in Brazil that Luiz Razia had secured the seat.
Experienced German Timo Glock would have been the other but he left the team last month by mutual agreement to allow the team to bring in more funds.
Malaysian-owned Caterham, who pipped Marussia to the lucrative 10th place in the championship last season, also revealed their new CT03 car in the Jerez pitlane with French driver Charles Pic and Dutchman Giedo van der Garde.
The car, an evolution of last year's, is the first they have built since the move to a new factory in central England and first under the leadership of team principal Cyril Abiteboul.
Technical director Mark Smith said the most obvious changes could be seen around the lower chassis where the sidepods have been undercut to improve airflow to the rear of the car.
"The team has produced a car that is an evolution of the 2012 car, building on that platform to give us a chance of continuing to make progress towards the teams ahead, whilst also dedicating enough resource to start work as early as possible on the 2014 car," said co-chairman and founder Tony Fernandes.
"For me this is going to be the story of the 2013 season...resources and budgets dictate that there will have to be a cut-off point in the development of the current season cars so focus can be switched to 2014."
Formula One is introducing significant rule changes next year with a new V6 hybrid turbo engine that represents a major challenge. Teams will have to develop their 2013 car while simultaneously working on next year's.

Above, the French Cartomancy Lenormand deck, border removed and cards glittered.
So you want to learn how to read the Lenormand Deck? If you have searched for how-to books, you may have found that it can be difficult to find resources in English.
HERE is a blog explaining some of the differences between Tarot and the Lenormand.
Below is a list to get you started on your Lenormand-learning journey. I'll update this page as resources continue to become available, and as I continue to discover them myself. Feel free to contact me with your suggestions if you've found good resources I've not listed here.
Do note that many books and resources have different card reading systems. Take what you like, leave what doesn't fit you. I tend to like to stick to the traditional system as much as possible (as I continue to learn), which is quite different than how a tarot card is read. You need to pick what fits you.
BOOKS on how to read The Lenormand
If you want to give the Lenormand a go, but you don't have any cards and aren't sure about buying, here are some decks you can download and print.
At Tarot Tribe: Beyond Worlds, we are bringing you lessons on the Lenormand to get you on your feet and beyond. Click below to access the free audio podcasts. The first two aired on May 19 and 20, 2012. Links below:
1) Beginner's Lenormand Class with Melissa Hill - Handout here
2) Advanced Lenormand Class with Rana George - Handout here

Dearest Donnaleigh,
Thank you so much. I have been wanting to learn how to read Lenormand Cards since 2009. The future Beyond Worlds on Lenormand Cards will help me a lot. Wishing you all the best.

Dear Donnaleigh,
Very resourceful post. It was fun watching the group enthusiasm around the Lenormand cards at RS12. Can't wait to see what you do with these.
Anastasia says...
What a great list! Yesterday, I discovered another site that offers free lessons and has a forum. I don't know if you want to add it to your list, but the site is www.learnlenormand.com and it's forum can be reached directly at forum.learnlenormand.com
Pearl Annie says...
Such a wonderful deck...cant wait to receive it. I love the fact you have added so many references (shortcuts)...It will help someone new to the Lenormand, save so much time! Thank you. I am waiting in anticipation for the new books to come out next year....
Diane Jarecki says...
Thank you, Donnaleigh, for all you do to help others learn. Your Lenormand tutorials are great, and are helping me learn Lenormand while I await my first deck (apparently it's on a slow boat from the UK).
Veronica P says...
Dear Donnaleigh,
Thank you for all your work with Lenormand. I just started reading the literature accompanying Ciro Marchetti's beautiful deck. You make this an easier transition from Tarot than I imagined. Would you by any chance be working with Kipper Cards and publishing a guide for them in the near future? I inherited a deck and am really lost. Thank you! V
Ginny says...
What a great list! It's so clear and easy to understand. I can't wait to explore everything. One really great site I've been following lately that you might be interested in is www.CafeLenormand.com

text: After achieving significant energy efficiency and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions over the last five years, Cummins (NYSE: CMI) is now raising the bar on its efforts by becoming a Partner in the Better Buildings, Better Plants Challenge. President Obama announced the Challenge today. The criteria for being a Challenge Partner in the U.S. Department of Energy's program include reducing energy use by at least 25 percent per dollar revenue from 2005-2015, committing to complete a larger-scale energy efficiency project, and reporting details on energy use and progress. Cummins joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Climate Leaders Program in 2006 and set the goal of a 25 percent reduction of GHG emissions per dollar revenue from 2005 to 2010. In May 2011, the Company announced that it had exceeded the goal with a 28 percent reduction. In becoming a Partner in the Better Buildings, Better Plants Challenge, Cummins will be building on this effort as approximately half of that 28 percent GHG reduction came as a result of energy efficiency improvements. The Company's new 25 percent energy efficiency goal over the 2005 to 2015 timeframe is equivalent to about a 40 percent GHG reduction. "Cummins strongly believes in the business case for energy efficiency," said Tom Linebarger, Cummins President and Chief Operating Officer. "It is good business, good for our business, and it is the right thing to do. By being a Challenge Partner, Cummins commits to aggressively pursue energy efficiency which will continue to move our work forward. The Challenge also provides a forum to both share our knowledge and learn from fellow Partners that can encourage other companies to pursue energy efficiency actions." The Company's wide-ranging energy savings actions have included projects such as high-efficiency lighting upgrades, power management systems, energy efficient motors, pumps and fans, compressed air optimization, heating and cooling equipment upgrades, and energy recovery from engine test cells. Energy efficiency is also incorporated in the Company's global environmental management system – which is implemented at 69 sites around the world and the key mechanism for driving environmental improvements at Cummins facilities.

Click below for a Mtume sample:
A former jazz percussionist who ended up gaining recognition as a producer for Stephanie Mills, Phyllis Hyman, and his self-titled r&b band, James Mtume was representative of the career trajectory many jazzers took in the 70s as they responded to the reduced opportunities for sustained success by turning to r&b.
The son of the saxophone
player Jimmy Heath, in the early 70s Mtume was a featured performer with
the likes of Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and Sonny Rollins, in addition
to having led a session for the seminal spiritual soul jazz label Strata
At some point during the
mid 70s, he decided to turn his focus to soul music, and he formed a band
with Reggie Lucas (guitar), Howard King (drums), Tawatha Agee (vocals),
Basil Fearington (bass), and Hubert Eaves III (keys). They began recording for Epic in
1978, and these early albums were highlighted by jazzy dancers like "Love
Lock" and "Give It On Up."
Mtume and Lucas also established themselves as dependable producers
with their hits for Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway ("The Closer I Get To
You"), Phyllis Hyman ("You
Know How To Love Me"), Sadane ("One Way Love Affair"), and Stephanie Mills
("Sweet Sensation," "Never Knew Love Like This Before"). Lucas would go on
to produce Madonna's first album, and Eaves also worked with
Mtume revamped the band's lineup in 1983 to keyboardist Philip Field, guitarist Ed Moore, drummer Leslie Ming and bassist Raymond Jackson, retaining Tawatha as the singer. This lineup scored one of the most memorable jams of the decade with the sumptuous "Juicy Fruit" in 1983. Its slinky beat, icy keyboard riff and the memorable line "You can lick me everywhere" ensured the song would reach classic status, having been sampled and appropriated many times by rappers and modern r&b acts.
"Juicy Fruit" was the zenith of Mtume's popularity, although they had other hits in "You, Me, and He" and "Breathless." After the group broke up, Mtume continued producing and scoring for television shows such as New York Undercover.

A NETHERTON woman with a passion pugs is preparing to deliver her verdict at the world's biggest canine convention.
Lynda Bissell has been invited to judge the pug section at Crufts 2014 where 300 hounds will come under her expert gaze.
Mrs Bissell began breeding pugs as a schoolgirl in 1958 and has won 13 championships and although she is an experienced dog show judge, being invited to choose the winner at Crufts is a major honour.
She said: "It is like being awarded an Olympic medal, I can die happy now. You don't get a penny for being a judge at Crufts but it is very prestigious."
Being a Crufts judge is a high point for breeders but it is also a high-pressure position with the eyes of the dog world focused upon every decision where winners can be sold for four-figure sums.
Lynda Bissell said: "There is only one judge and you can feel the knives in your back when you are judging, it is very cut-throat.
"I never give favours, people know they are getting what I truly feel, not who is on the other end of the lead.
"It is very rare for pugs to be sold - they are pets, I once got an offer from a man who said 'here is an open cheque book, name your price'."
Crufts 2014 will take place at Birmingham's NEC from Thursday March 6 to Sunday March 9 and Mrs Bissell will be scrutinising every pug in the show to ensure they meet Kennel Club standards.
She said: "You have got to know the dog inside out as a breed, it is open to how you interpret the standards, everybody has their own ideas."
Pugs are regarded as one of the oldest breeds of dog and their history can be traced back to China in 700BC.
The breed is believed to have arrived in Europe during the 16th century and became highly popular, Napoleon's wife Josephine had a pug and refused to sleep in their bed on her wedding night unless the dog was also in the bed.
Pugs were introduced into the UK in the 1860s and Queen Victoria's love of the breed helped establish the Kennel Club.
Mrs Bissell said: "They were bred as a companion dog, they have a fantastic temperament, they are fun loving and affectionate - a little dog with a big personality."
