David Cage's interview with Norwegian publication Dagbladet. Sadly, Mr. Cage's answers were not in Norwegian, meaning we wasted $8,000 and what our instructor Jokkum Frantzberg called "a very good ear for Norwegian." The entire project was not in vain, though, as we managed to find this quote from Cage regarding his upcoming Heavy Rain.
"If you are talking about Motion Control, this is something we initially considered for Heavy Rain. The very first version of the game design was based on motion control, but it was not feasible at the time," he said. Dagbladet later helped us confirm via one of Cage's reps that he had hoped to design the game for the PlayStation Motion Controller originally, but felt the tech simply wasn't far enough along.
Cage went on to add, "I have a lot of interest in Sony's motion device and there is a good chance that we announce something about it in the coming weeks." We don't know what he'll announce, but we certainly hope that it'll be in Norwegian.

I've just completed the same task using apt-get on karmic. I recommend you attempt to "stop" couchdb using /etc/init.d/couchdb stop.... then browse to it. It will report "stopped" and then not stop, and then proceed to try to fill your /var/log/couch.... with restart errors until you reboot your machine. The couch repos are just not working well at the moment... so that's not really an option either. I reinstalled firefox after the uninstall and no issues at the moment...but did I break something else, or was that req just for building couch?

Denver Children's Theatre's RUMPELSTILTSKIN Now Playing Through 4/27
Families and school groups will marvel at the magic of the live theatre production of "Rumpelstiltskin". This show takes the stage in the Elaine Wolf Theatre at the Mizel Arts & Culture Center (MACC) at 1 p.m. on Sundays from March 9 through April 27 (no performance April 20). Tickets: $10/general admission; $9/children, students & seniors. For tickets or more information, call 303-316-6360. MACC is located at 350 S. Dahlia St., Denver, CO 80246.
"Rumpelstiltskin" centers around an overprotective Miller who refuses to let his young daughter help with any work. Despite her rare beauty, she is helpless when it comes to the mundane chores of everyday life. In an attempt to defend his daughter's uselessness, the Miller makes the mistake of falsely proclaiming that his daughter can spin straw into gold. Meanwhile, the Kingdom is in a predicament when the King suddenly dies leaving the young price to inherit the throne. As the years progress, the wealth of the kingdom is squandered on frivolous expenses, and the young prince quickly turned king, finds himself at odds with his subjects. All that remains in the treasure rooms of the palace are piles upon piles of straw. The King, in dire need of wealth, seeks the assistance of the Miller's daughter. He believes her to be capable of returning him to his affluent state by turning his piles of straw into gold. The story concludes with the characters facing life-altering decisions, broken promises, and an array of mysterious events. Themes include the power of friendship, the destructive nature of vanity and greed, and the value of forgiveness
Billie McBride has directed previous plays at MACC, Arvada Center, Denver Center for the Performing Arts and Colorado Springs Conservatory and works her magic again on this production, using Mike Kenny's Kenny's inventive and creative dramatization of the world famous Grimm's fairy tale. Mc Bride brings Denver's most accomplished adult actors Adrian Egoff (Daughter), Lindsey Pierce (Queen Mother), Rachel Graham (Rumpelstiltskin), Brian Landis Folkins (Miller/Chancellor), Damon Guerrasio (King), Missy Moore (Mess), to the stage.
The award-winning Denver Children's Theatre has been producing quality theatre for young audiences for 17 years, presenting a fully mounted mainstage production featuring some of the finest adult professional actors in the region. DCT was awarded the 2009 Henry Award for Outstanding Children's Theatre, the Colorado equivalent of a Tony Award.

Centre to states: appoint permanent staff in gram panchayats
The Centre has suggested to the states to appoint permanent staff in gram panchayats for the implementation of rural development schemes like NREGA, promising that it will provide them funds to meet initial expenditure on salaries for eight years.
"We have sent the concept to the states," he said, adding a meeting with the state Panchayati Raj secretaries is scheduled tomorrow to discuss the matter.
Joshi said there is no structure of "dedicated" staff in a large number of panchayats across the country.
"There is lack of staff in about 70,000 gram panchayts," he said.
About two lakh people, engaged in the implementation of NREGA, are working on contract basis in different states. "This will not do. There should be a structure of dedicated staff in panchayats for better implementation of the schemes," he said.
There are about 2.44 lakh panchayats across the country and each of these panchayats should have at least four dedicated staff including one panchayat development officer who is an MBA and well-versed with the knowledge of computer operations, Joshi said.
The minister suggested that states can phase out the staff working on contract basis and create a dedicated structure by recruiting people through their state selection committees.
"Whichever state will agree to our proposal, Government of India will provide funds for eight years to the state government concerned to establish such structure of dedicated staff in gram panchayats," he said.
80 per cent of the part of the salaries of these staffs will be given by Centre in first year and it will gradually be reduced and finally the responsibility for payment will totally be left on the states after 8 years, he said.
States, interested in the proposal of his ministry, will have to sign an MoU with the Centre, he added.

Sharon, whose rightwing Likud party has formed a government coalition with two extreme-right parties, has made several defiant remarks this week on the thorny issue of Jewish settlements built on occupied Palestinian land.
The roadmap calls for a complete freeze on the expansion of settlements.
Arafat was speaking from his office in the West Bank city of Ramallah on the 55th anniversary of the creation of the state of Israel, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians fled or were forced out of their homes.
What Israelis celebrate as their independence day is referred to by Palestinians as "Al-Naqba" - or the catastrophe in Arabic.
Those who stayed in their villages when Israel was created are now described as Israeli Arabs, but scores of them became refugees in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and neighbouring Arab countries.
They still hold on to their title deeds.

Steeton manager Roy Mason says his team have a big carrot in their West Riding County FA Challenge Cup semi-final tonight (7.30).
The Chevrons face Goole United at county headquarters at Fleet Lane, Woodlesford – but the cherry on the cake would be the chance to run out at Leeds United's Elland Road ground in the final against West Yorkshire Association League side Field on Monday, May 19.
"We have one or two United fans in our squad but the chance to play there is a massive incentive for us all anyway," admitted Mason.
Thursday night may be a typical end-of-season choice for football matches but it isn't normal at any other time in the campaign.
However, Mason says that his squad will be at full strength as they bid to reach the final for the first time in the club's history.
He added: "We have had a while to prepare for this, with people ensuring they can get time off work if needed, but it helps that the kick-off is at 7.30pm rather than earlier."
While the expanse of the Woodlesford pitch may be new to most of the Steeton squad, it won't be to teenager Josh Ferguson.
Mason explained: "He was there last Saturday for Keighley Under-17s in the West Riding County FA Minor Cup final.
"The size of the pitch should suit our passing style and, although it is used a lot at this time of year, it will still be better than most of the surfaces that we regularly play on."
Goole United are currently sixth in the Humber Premier Division and Mason said: "We have had them watched – Damien Whiteoak has done that while he has been injured – and they are a big, physical side. They have also watched us."
Thanks to Pete Spencer, of locally-based company The Band Bus, Steeton are set to travel to Woodlesford on the Leeds Rhinos team coach.
And whatever the outcome tonight, the Chevrons will not lack for support. Mason explained: "We have already filled two coaches – we would probably have had three if it had been a Friday and people didn't have to go to work the following day – and there are a lot going by car.
"We hope to have about 200 backing us and Goole will also have plenty of fans."
In a busy time of year, Steeton have also had a couple of off-field issues to sort out.
Firstly they have had to change their headquarters from the Old Star pub to the Goat's Head, after the former one closed.
Secondly, reserve-team coach Scott Turkington has had to quit due to work commitments. Mason said: "Scott has done a great job for a couple of years but is having to work abroad.
"We will bring in John Mortimer, who works with the youngsters anyway, to help reserve-team manager Clark O'Dwyer, and will probably make a more permanent announcement in the summer."

NEW YORK, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pfizer Inc today issued the following statement in response to a report in Canada's National Post newspaper concerning the cardiovascular safety of Celebrex:
The news report, based on voluntary spontaneous event reporting to Canadian Health authorities, is misleading. The story is not supported by any clinical or epidemiological studies and has the potential to cause undue confusion among patients and physicians.
The safety profile for Celebrex is well-established and is supported by extensive clinical studies in Canada and around the world.
Voluntary spontaneous event reporting to health authorities is not designed and cannot be used to determine cause and effect. It is essential to remember that the information provided is uncontrolled and may be second-hand or incomplete.
Health Canada has acknowledged these limitations, noting "there hasn't been a causal link established". The agency has also noted that these data contain no information about patients' underlying medical conditions.
Millions of patients have been prescribed Celebrex since its first approval in 1998 and large-scale clinical studies of up to four years showed no increased cardiovascular safety risk.

Will Rihanna ever find love? Life & Style Magazine reports that Leonardo DiCaprio have have gotten cozy with the Diamonds singer in recent weeks, but his wandering eye has spotted someone new — Fifty Shades of Grey star Dakota Johnson! Is the legendary ladies man moving on from RiRi and replacing her with this month's 'it' girl, or is he simply playing the field like he's famously known for doing?
Rihanna had just been spotted "swapping spit" with the famed actor at a nightclub not even a month ago. The two appeared to spend Valentine's Day together, which may have led Rih to post a photo of a cherub on her Instagram account the next day. Before their Valentine's Day activities they were spotted making out at a party at the Playboy Mansion. Gossip rags and fans have gone wild with speculation that the two could be getting serious, but other reports have indicated otherwise. For instance, Leo was spotted kissing a pretty blonde in between sightings with Rihanna, and now rumor has it that he's interested in the Fifty Shades of Grey star.
According to witnesses who attended a party after the SNL 40 Year Anniversary special, Leonardo DiCaprio paid absolutely no attention to Rihanna, who was also in attendance. Instead, he was immediately glued to the side of Dakota Johnson, who is still riding the high of fame with the new release of Fifty Shades of Grey. The source that told Life & Style of the incident seems to think that DiCaprio may be Dakota's real-life Christian Grey.
"Dakota looked like she was trying to play it cool, but you could tell she was thrilled to have his attention."
The same witness claimed that DiCaprio appeared to be more happy that night in the presence of Dakota Johnson, than with any of the other celebrities that mingled with him. If that's true, then there is certainly reason for Rihanna to put up her guard. If she and DiCaprio are getting close at all, then she may want to keep an eye on any possible friendship budding between he and Dakota.
Classicalite reports that DiCaprio had also just attended Rihanna's star-studded birthday bash, an event where everyone had accepted the idea that the two were dating. However, the rag claims that DiCaprio may be planning on dumping the R&B singer. Judging by gossip about him and Dakota Johnson, Classicalite may be right. On the other hand, nobody really knows what's going on between these three high profile celebs.

Illinois Supreme Court Denies Rehearing of Philip Morris Suit
Altria Group Inc. unit was accused of defrauding consumers into thinking "light" cigarettes were safer than regular smokes.
CHICAGO--The Illinois Supreme Court denied a plaintiff's petition to rehear a case in which it threw out a $10.1 billion verdict against Philip Morris USA over the marketing of certain cigarettes, reported Reuters.
The initial $10.1 billion judgment in the class action case, in which the Altria Group Inc. unit was accused of defrauding consumers into thinking "light" cigarettes were safer than regular smokes, was handed down against Philip Morris by a trial court judge in March 2003, according to the report.
The court overturned the verdict in December and ordered a lower court to dismiss the case. A divided Supreme Court at that time ruled that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission had authorized tobacco companies to characterize their products as "light" or "low tar nicotine." The court said a section in the Illinois Consumer Fraud Act exempts a company from being punished for behavior allowed by a specific regulatory body, according to the report.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case argued that the FTC was never asked specifically whether that was its universal policy on the issue.
In his dissenting opinion, Justice Freeman wrote he believes "that this court's judgment may have been erroneous."
"The court's denial of the petition for rehearing does not speak well of this court. It is disappointing and will ultimately prove to be embarrassing. History will be the judge," Freeman wrote.
Analysts have said in the past it was unlikely the Illinois Supreme Court would rehear the case. But filing for a rehearing in state court is a standard step before trying to bring a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, reported Reuters.

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck Pictures
Jennifer Garner Has Sidekick Violet Along For Saturday Errands
Jennifer Garner and her daughter Violet Affleck ran all sorts of errands together in LA on Saturday. Violet was decked out in a pink track suit and peace sign boots while Jennifer toted a classic Chanel. Jennifer's new release Arthur came in second at the box office this week as Russell Brand's other film, Hop once again scored the top spot. Jennifer had both Violet and Seraphina along to spend the afternoon with good friend Victor Garber on Friday and Ben Affleck missed out on that as well since he's currently scouting movie locations in Turkey. Ben is also reportedly close to signing on for a role in the upcoming Great Gatsby remake alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan, though the directorial effort he's working in in Istanbul may get in the way.

Disney World vs. Disneyland -- Dark Rides
One of the signature attractions at both Disney resorts are the dark rides, or those rides where you get in a little car and are whisked away on a storytelling adventure. Disneyland has always had more than Magic Kingdom, and still does when you combine Disneyland Resorts two parks with Walt Disney World's four parks. More important, two of the rides that used to be at Magic Kingdom -- Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Scary Adventures of Snow White -- still live on at Disneyland.

Our client basically does a GET against the view to determine what objects are in for a key. It has a local cache, and currently it then HEADs every object returned by that view to see if the objects need to be reloaded. If the rev was included in the row that would be unnecessary. Currently we are intending to return { "rev" : doc._rev } out of the mapping function, but the seems a bit clumsy. Jan suggested in irc that maybe the correct thing to do is to remove the "_id" from the roes by default and add both "_rev" and "_id" with an option (include_meta=true). This approach seems good to me, since I suspect people who are using views to manipulate the data in interesting ways generally don't need the object ids, and people who are using views primarily to organize objects almost always need the rev in addition to the object id. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

text: General Cable Corporation (NYSE: BGC) (the Company) announced today that it has agreed to acquire Alcan Cable, the wire and cable business of Rio Tinto plc (Rio Tinto) (LSE: RIO). The purchase price is $185 million in cash, subject to customary adjustments primarily related to working capital levels at closing as provided in the definitive purchase agreement. The Company expects to use its Asset Based Revolving Credit Facility to principally fund the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2012, subject to receipt of regulatory approval. Alcan Cable employs approximately 1,050 associates in its aluminum cable manufacturing and distribution facilities servicing the energy and construction markets in the United States, Canada, Mexico, and China. In 2011, Alcan Cable reported operating margins in the low single digit range. On an annual basis, the Company estimates the acquisition will contribute approximately $650-700 million in revenues at current metal prices. Over a cycle, Alcan Cable's operating margin profile is expected to be consistent with the Company's existing North American businesses as manufacturing, logistics, and purchasing synergies are realized. With these synergies, an improving North American market and an accelerating greenfield operation in China, the transaction is expected to create shareholder value in the near term. "I have long admired Alcan Cable and their singular and long standing focus on being superb at their craft. Alcan Cable's STABILOY ® and NUAL ® brand names are the gold standard for quality, packaging, and service in the North American aluminum cable industry. In addition, they are highly skilled in aluminum rod manufacturing and have built a state of the art facility in China that is successfully penetrating the domestic construction cable market. Alcan Cable's rich history, like General Cable's, exceeds 100 years. We look forward to sharing best practices and creating fresh career opportunities for the very dedicated and professional Alcan Cable team," said Gregory B. Kenny, President and Chief Executive Officer of General Cable. Gregory J. Lampert, President and Chief Executive Officer, General Cable North America, noted that, "The addition of aluminum construction cables further expands the range of products we offer to distributors serving electrical and industrial contractors and increases our capacity to efficiently serve our electric utility customers with transmission and distribution products."

The goal is to make Fedora a distribution that the FSF can positively endorse. I think we're really close. Any reason to not try to go all the way?a) do we know of anything that doesn't fit this? b) will they require us to change everything to say GNU/Linux? :)
This is actually one of my concerns as well - that by doing this we're putting a stake in the ground and that we're setting ourselves up to fall in the eyes of FSF followers. I'm sure that at some point in the future we'll do something that bothers them and then we'll be the bad guys.
So yeah, as long as this is done on _our_ terms and we're endorsing ourselves it's fine.

I hoping for sub-3 in the fall. For Boston, I still have no clue maybe sub-3:10..
StacyI make no apologies for my liberal use of smiley icons. http://www.BlakeHillHouse.com
I ran a tune up half-marathon
So for Boston I think I'll follow the same plan but just extend it. Go 160 for 5-6 miles, 162 for the next 6, 163-164 until top of Heartbreak and then see how I feel the last 10k. If I feel good maybe let it go up to 166/167 for the next 5k, then the last 5k who knows.....

Nice tune-up, DCV. You definitely have your poo-poo together.
Many words of advice:
Have a great marathon. I hope it's fun for you.
blog, training log
Way to persevere, Jesse. Too bad they didn't run the race today. It was 68 at 6am yesterday! I ran at 3:30 and it felt terrible -- 74 degrees, dp of 56. This morning, it was a perfect 55 degrees. Springtime in DC.

Ain't Wastin' Time No More !
Wow...another amazing report, Jesse. I'm not sure whether reading your ultra race reports inspire me, or scare the daylights out of me when/if I get into them.
Why not train with s-caps? (or salt sticks, etc) I use salt stick tablets, and man I've had great luck with them, even when doing 20+ mile runs in very hot temps.
Of course, I'm just now breaking them out. I used them a bit too early in cooler temps on an easy 21 miler last weekend, and was retaining too much water. Bleh. Such a delicate line we walk, huh?
Good luck to all of you running Boston next weekend. (well, Monday) And a huge grats out to Ryan Hall who ran 2:06:17 at London today. Not bad for a one year marathon anniversary run. I hope he medals in Beijing.
I'll be in Boston next year. Can't wait.

Newspaper competition was furious at times in the old days. At one time Hall County had three weekly newspapers.
The Gainesville Eagle and the Georgia Cracker, which later became the Gainesville News, were particularly at odds with one another from time to time. And neither would mince words when they disagreed in their commentaries.
The Eagle in an 1897 edition took the Cracker to task after the Cracker wrote there was "more malicious, slandering liars to the square mile in Gainesville than any like area in the now known world."
The Eagle in turn retorted, "This is a slander on the people of Gainesville. There are liars everywhere in every town and city, but no more in Gainesville than in any other city of 4,000 inhabitants."
Conceding the town wasn't 100 percent pure, the Eagle gave an example: "... a man who sells a post-oak cow for a 4-gallon Jersey — 4 years old with 11 wrinkles and a button on her horns ... We have a few scattering specimens of other kinds of liars, but not an unreasonable number. The people of Gainesville are truthful, orderly, moral, peace-loving and enterprising. They don't all do to suit us, and don't all take our advice, but perhaps that is nothing to their discredit."
So there.
The Cracker actually was founded in 1888 as the Gainesville Industrial News by James I. Toner, who moved to Gainesville from Wisconsin. H.W.J. Ham, who became nationally known as "Snollygaster" on the Chautauqua speaking circuit, changed the name to the Georgia Cracker when he bought it. A.S. Hardy renamed it the Gainesville News when he and his brother B.H. Hardy bought it in 1897.
A.S. Hardy became a civic, national press and political leader during his more than half century with the newspaper, even serving 16 years as Gainesville postmaster in addition to his editorial duties with the weekly newspaper.
One of the more colorful and more quoted editors in these parts was W.B. Townsend of the Dahlonega Nugget. He entertained and outraged readers for more than four decades. An example of his writings: "The only present we received during Christmas was a pair of socks from U.M. England of Atlanta. And ye heretofore soxless editor is all right till these give out."
Though controversial and despised by some, Townsend was popular enough to win several elective offices, including mayor and ordinary, over the years. Rising at 2 a.m., he worked daily up until a day or two before he died in 1934. The last lines he hand-set for his paper were, "Ye editor is sick." Then he went home, went to bed and died.
It is well known that Dr. E.M. Ham is credited with buying the first car in Gainesville, a Locomobile. But how about the miles per gallon? About 10, or 50 miles on 5 gallons. That's not much worse than some SUV's get today. Dr. Ham first drove the car in June 1902, and that first ride was for eight miles. The car cost $850, not a paltry sum for those days.
In the early days of Boy Scouting in Hall County, Dan Ashford was looking for a few good boys - very good boys. In an appeal for recruits, he sought only "wide-awake, full-blooded American boys ... no cursing, chewing, smoking or any bad habit will be allowed in the troop."
Ashford was seeking 60 boys, enticing them with a hike in Nacoochee Valley. The item in the local newspaper at the time didn't say how many answered the call.
Carter Grocery Co. was the first business in Hall County to have merchandise delivered to it by airplane. Wrigley's chewing gum plant in Chicago shipped some of its product to the company in March 1920. Now Wrigley's is just a few miles down Interstate 985 from Gainesville, where the grocery company operated for years.
It was 1941 before a Gainesville bank could boast of being in the million-dollar class. Including deposits and other assets, First National, Citizens and Gainesville National banks reported total worth of $3.3 million. Deposits of the three banks totaled $2.9 million.

The United States will pursue the death penalty against Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, dpa reported.
"After consideration of the relevant facts, the applicable regulations and the submissions made by the defendant's counsel, I have determined that the United States will seek the death penalty in this matter," Attorney General Eric Holder said. "The nature of the conduct at issue and the resultant harm compel this decision."
Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty to charges that he carried out the bombings along with his brother on April 15 at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, killing three people and wounding more than 250.
Tsarnaev's older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed in a chase by police in the days afterward. After being wounded by police, the brother was run over by the car in which Dzhokhar was trying to flee the shootout.
In their flight from police, the two brothers also allegedly killed a police officer.

A LEADING brain doctor has confirmed that former Weymouth striker Jeff Astle died of brain injuries as a result of consistently heading heavy leather footballs.
Dr Willie Stewart, a neuropathologist at Glasgow Southern General Hospital, was granted permission by Astle's family to re-examine the centre forward's brain and yesterday confirmed his death was as a result of a condition called CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
The disease, more commonly found in boxers and American footballers, is a progressive degenerative disease which can only be definitively diagnosed post-mortem in individuals with a history of multiple concussions and other forms of head injury.
Astle died aged 59 in 2002 and the coroner ruled that successive mental traumas – caused by heading heavy leather footballs when he was a player – caused the damage.
Dr Stewart also told the family that Astle's brain resembled that of an 89-year-old, and not that of a 59-year-old.
Dr Stewart found traces of proteins in Astle's brain consistent with CTE, making him the first professional footballer to be diagnosed with the disease.
Astle's widow, Laraine Astle, said: "When I spoke to Dr Stewart he confirmed that Jeff had CTE.
"I asked him several things about Jeff's brain and it was deeply upsetting to understand just how badly damaged it was.
"He said to me had he not known that Jeff was only 59 when he died he would have thought his brain was that of someone at least 89 years old. I think that says it all.
"It was very badly damaged and it showed that Jeff had been misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's when he was alive when in fact he had CTE.
"I wonder how many other footballers there are out there in the same position."
Astle, who played for Weymouth in the 1975-1976 season, was a popular member of the team with both players and fans, bagging 35 goals in 50 appearances.
Following his death, Astle's family were promised a long-term study into the link between head injuries and dementia by the FA and PFA in 2002 but so far no such study has been carried out.
As reported in the Echo last month, his family have now launched the Justice for Jeff campaign to try and pressurise the FA into holding this enquiry, and are calling on fans of Astle's former clubs, including Weymouth, to back the campaign and to lobby the FA.
At the launch of the campaign, Dawn Astle, Jeff Astle's daughter, said: "We can't describe how let down we feel, it's a real kick in the teeth. The delay is not fair for us, or for dad.
"The FA said they would conduct the research and publish the information, but they never have."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/11/2009 (2821 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
One of my most favorite parts of one of my most favorite movies - Reservoir Dogs - comes when almost all of the major characters gun each other down at the end. There is a Shakespearean flare to the mutual assured self-destruction that unfolds. In a way, it helps make a complex story all neat and tidy at the end when all of the major characters are dead. Perhaps it's just me.
I had opportunity to recall the ending of Reservoir Dogs while reading this morning about how Prime Minister Stephen Harper has decided to introduce legislation enabling the Harmonized Sales Tax in Ontario and British Columbia. The HST has become the elephant in the room, a federal initiative that has so far manifested in significant provincial political controversy.
Both the Ontario and B.C. governments have seen political opponents score points by opposing the HST. Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty in particular has seen a precipitous rise in support for the Ontario Tories on the back of this issue.
The federal Conservatives have not, to date, suffered a direct hit of their own. As a result, Harper continues to push the HST agenda, hoping that it will weaken his opponents more than it will his own government.
In the Conservative play book, introducing HST legislation will put Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff in a tough spot. Ignatieff and most of his caucus have supported the HST; in fact, it was a Liberal government that first introduced the concept in Atlantic Canada in the mid 1990s. Ignatieff swore earlier this fall that he would stop supporting the government on anything that was a confidence matter. Harper is calling that bluff with a wager that Ignatieff won't flip flop on his own support for the HST, and that he won't risk pissing off Liberal premiers in B.C. and Ontario to score political points in Ottawa.
It is a dilemma for Ignatieff, a leader who has been eviscerated by Tory attack ads and hobbled by his own horrible lack of direction. But the Liberals are not alone in facing peril; the Conservatives as well may seem some self-inflicted pain out of this equation.
A briefing document that outlines talking points for the HST bill, obtained and published in The Globe and Mail, tries to frame the HST bill as a simple black and white, yes or no issue. Either the opposition supports this bill, and thus the HST in principle, or they don't. If the opposition bands together and defeats the bill, the briefing notes states the Tories will drop the issue and not revisit it.
This is where Ignatieff is supposed to fall into the bear trap. Oppose the HST bill, and you will have infuriated McGuinty and B.C. premier Gordon Campbell, who have both endured a robust political attack over plans to implement the HST.
I'll suggest that may not be a problem, or at least not the problem that Harper thinks it is. In B.C., it has never been clear that Campbell has been a big supporter of the federal party. And the HST is becoming so unpopular in B.C. that it might make more sense for the federal Grits to oppose the bill.
It is more problematic for Ignatieff in Ontario, but only if Ignatieff rejects the HST outright. The federal Tories seem to forget that the opposition could oppose this bill but still support a harmonized tax. In Manitoba, for example, Premier Greg Selinger supports the notion of an HST, but opposes the terms of the deal being offered by Ottawa. In particular, Selinger does not think Ottawa is offering enough compensation for provinces, who not only lose millions of dollars in tax rebates to businesses but also have to spend millions more on exemptions and tax cuts to soften the blow for consumers.
Ignatieff could tell Harper to reconfigure the HST offer, and sweeten the pot. In this scenario, he could keep the support of HST fans, especially the business lobby, and curry support from consumers, who fear it is just a tax grab.
One must also wonder what this bill, introduced now, is doing to Tory opposition parties. In Ontario, the Progressive Conservatives are faring very well in polls by attacking McGuinty on the HST. How do the federal Tories reconcile that trend with their own increasingly desperate needs to get the HST implemented from coast to coast?
With each new development in this story, it seems that we're getting closer and closer to a Reservoir Dogs ending where all the major players are lying bloody and motionless, dead and dying at their own hands. And then there will be only one thing left to do.
Let's get a taco.

Texas Independence Day honored at Alamo
Updated 8:04 pm, Sunday, March 2, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — With fiddle music thinned by a late-winter rush of wind, a procession led by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas on Sunday commemorated a similarly cold day in 1836, when the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed.
"The weather was very cold; the building was cold and barely adequate. But the delegates persevered to complete the document which declared freedom for Texas," said Martha Fleitas, president of the Alamo Couriers chapter of the DRT.
The declaration was signed by 59 delegates at Washington-on-the-Brazos, now a 293-acre historic site 30 miles south of College Station. At the time, the Alamo already was under what would be a 13-day siege by the Mexican Army.
"The 192 men of the Alamo who made the ultimate sacrifice died without knowing that independence had been declared," Fleitas said. "Standing in front of the Alamo on this momentous occasion reminds us of the great cost of freedom, both then and today."
Texas Independence Day is now a state holiday celebrated each March 2.

after falsehood (cf. Ps. 4:2). That is why, like a fool who walks in darkness,
he no longer attends to his own sins but lets his imagination dwell on the sins

Practice Areas
Scott Felder and Nicole Owren-Wiest Present a Bloomberg BNA Webinar on Protecting Intellectual Property in an Open Systems Architecture Environment
In recent years, likely in light of fiscal constraints, the Government has become more focused on its rights in contractor technical data and computer software. This enhanced focus often manifests itself as an aggressive demand for both data deliverables and rights in a contractor's intellectual property. This trend will only continue as agencies move towards an Open Systems Architecture (OSA) approach.
The same fiscal constraints that have caused the Government to focus on data and data rights are also forcing contractors to explore new markets and new customer bases in order to ensure that they can recapture their investments in technology. Without an understanding of the shifting data rights environment, contractors may jeopardize their ability to monetize their innovations.
Wiley Rein partners Scott Felder and Nicole Owren-Wiest will provide practical information to individuals working on a Government contract or sub-contract where they will use, develop, and/or develop information that they consider proprietary to the Government, in the webinar, "Protecting Your Intellectual Property in an Open Systems Architecture Environment" hosted by Bloomberg BNA on Wednesday, August 26, 2015 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM (ET). The program will cover:
- How to recognize an OSA approach to procurement.
- How to best protect intellectual property vis-à-vis the Government, whether the Government is adopting an OSA approach or not.
- How to handle over-reaching on data deliverables or data rights.
CLE credit will be available. Clients and friends of Wiley Rein will receive 25% off the registration cost by using the promo code FIRMDISC25 when registering. For more information and to register click here.

Home » News & Information » Press Releases » USAID Project Signs Sub-Grants for Water Treatment and Bio-diversity Conservation in the South Atlantic Autonomous Region of Nicaragua
For Immediate Release
Thursday, October 4, 2012
Jordi Icaza
(505) 2252-7100 ext. 7416
The municipality of Pearl Lagoon served as the backdrop for the signing of two sub-grants under USAID's Conservation and Sustainable Tourism Program (CSTP), implemented by FHI 360. The sub-grants will finance the implementation of projects related to water and sanitation and bio-diversity conservation activities in Bluefields and Pearl Lagoon.
CSTP signed one sub-grant with BlueEnergy for the "The Right to Clean Water and a Healthy Environment Project," to be implemented in Bluefields. The second sub-grant was signed with Wildlife Conservation Society, which will implement the project "Sustainable Use of Bio-diversity Resources in the Wildlife Refuge of Cayos Perla" in Pearl Lagoon. At the event, CSTP also announced a new alliance with Noble Energy, a private sector organization that will contribute funds to support the project implemented by BlueEnergy.
Mr. Arthur W. Brown, Mission Director for USAID/Nicaragua said, "for USAID, development goes hand in hand with the rational use of natural resources. With this support, we hope we can contribute to the improvement of the standard of living of the citizens of Bluefields and the community of Kahkabila, as well as with the conservation of bio-diversity in the Wildlife Refuge of Cayos Perla. In line with our gender equality initiatives, both projects involve women in the implementation of their activities, providing them with access, not only to the decision-making processes, but also to self-development activities."
David Nock, representative of Noble Energy in Nicaragua commented, "The collaboration between Noble Energy and USAID, FHI 360 and the Municipality of Bluefields in the project to purify water and solid waste management reflects our corporate message: 'Energizing the World, Bettering People's Lives.' In Noble Energy we believe that our business goes beyond just exploring and producing. Besides improved income and other benefits that our involvement in Nicaragua can produce, we are trying to improve people's living conditions by supporting the development of those communities we work in, grown in and prosper. This project, as well as our other social investments in the Autonomous Regions, show our long-term commitment with these communities and with Nicaragua."
The implementation of these two sub-grants will start in October 2012 and is expected to end by August 2013.

On a foggy November day, our client was driving a semi for his employer on a Minnesota highway. As he proceeded through an intersection with no traffic control device, the driver of an intersecting semi ignored his stop sign. Despite the foggy conditions, he chose to "go for it" and hope for the best.
The resulting impact between the two trucks was cataclysmic. Our client sustained serious shoulder and facial injuries, requiring multiple surgeries and extended medical treatment. Attorney Timothy Schelwat settled the case at mediation for $1,200,000.

It's pretty clear from the get go that 80's Child is all about going back to the future. As the door of his Delorean opens upwards and the billowing smoke clears, we see that he has brought back four 80s dancefloor wonders which he sensitively retweaks with contemporary flair. "Keep On Lovin Me" is that kind of lazy electro-boogie jam that's all about that crisp snare drop, "Tryin' To Get Over" is more your upbeat brassy funk number, "Serious" is Donna Allen's 1986 snarling New Jack beast of a tune and "Plane Love" end things with a soul-meets-Latino funkout.

Threw a little curve ball at ya here.. You were expecting Gisele. Anyway, if you quickly mentally scan through the NFL prominent WAGs don't particularly come to mind. If you're a quarterback you should be all set right? Well, a lot of the QBs are family guys. Go figure. Fortunately, there are some other guys.
Take a look at the NFL's biggest players……..when it comes to WAGs
Reggie Bush, although he looked like a chump with the Kardashian situation, still gets it in. After it's all said and done, Kardashian isn't a huge conquest, but have you seen Mayra Veronica and all the other chicks. He's doing fine.
Having a dating show didn't disqualify Chad, it only added some more to his resume. Hell the guy tweets he's getting action. Chad is a busy man off the field.
I know Archuleta isn't currently on a squad, but he's not retired. He also has pulled some heavy tail in his day. I didn't think you needed a picture of him, here is his fiance Playmate Jennifer Walcott
I don't like Sanchise, but damn is he on a torrid pace for only being in the league a few years. Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Lindsay McCormick, and model Katarina Ivanovska. The dude is killing it.
Surprise Surprise… Bridget Moynahan and Gisele that'll be good enough for the victory. Touchdown Tommy is the man. Look at that hair cut, such versatility.

Just wait, a huge swine flu epidemic will break out this week, and the Record will never live it down. However, it still seems to us that the suggestion that the swine barn at the Minnesota State Fair be shut down was a bit overblown.
Michael Osterholm, renowned epidemiologist and head of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, recommended that all 900 state fair hogs be sent home.
Osterholm said that his concern is long-term because a new variant of the swine flu, H3N2, has been appearing around the country. This flu can be spread from hog to hog or from hog to human. Osterholm says the longer it stays alive, the more likely that the virus will become increasingly virulent, meaning that its symptoms will become more severe and more contagious.
Furthermore, one child for sure and possibly two came down with the swine flu after attending a live animal market in Dakota County earlier this summer.
However, a live animal market is different from the state fair. The biggest difference is that almost all of the hogs at the state fair got there after first winning a competition at a county fair. Every county fair that shows livestock in the state has a veterinarian to check that the animals are healthy. Second, the animals are rechecked at the state fair.
Richard Danila, assistant state epidemiologist at the Minnesota Department of Health, disagreed with Osterholm, and said the danger of swine flu needs to be kept in perspective. So far this year, some 80 million Americans have interacted with hogs at fairs and shows, and 230 cases of swine flu have resulted. That's not quite 3 per million.
Public health officials are doing what we pay them to do, part of which is to warn us of dangers to our health from environmental factors. But like anything else, they need to pick their battles carefully.
If they don't say anything and a bunch of people die, the public will accuse them of being derelict in their duty. But if they warn us too often and nothing happens, something worse will happen — the public will start tuning them out.
Our guess is that the chances are a lot greater than 3 in a million that somebody will get sick eating fair food than they will get sick by strolling through the state fair swine barn. With that in mind, we're fine with the decision to keep the swine barn open.

Miley Cyrus cares deeply about her employees
After the tour bus accident that left a man dead this morning and injured others in her crew, you'd assume Miley Cyrus would postpone Sunday's show out of respect for her employees. Unfortunately, you'd be out of your goddamn mind because everyone knows The Jailbait Express waits for no man. TMZ reports:
TMZ spoke with an employee at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, NC who tells us they've been flooded with calls asking about Miley's concert. At this point, the employee tells us, "The show is going on as scheduled."
Of course, I'm sure this is all just some elaborate scheme to get Miley Twittering again. Think about it: Where else could she instantly offer her sympathies then talk about how gay Twilight is moments later? Sure, a man died, but if it ends with the world receiving the 140 character thoughts of an over-religious teenage cash cow, are we not better for it? Sometimes you can't make an omelet without breaking some of the little people who can't even drive a bus without dying. Gawd.

BPOL Ordinance
Section 4-7.2-11. Appeals on assessments; rulings.
A. Any person assessed with a license tax or fee as a result of an audit may apply within ninety days from the date of such assessment to the Director for a correction of the assessment. The application must be filed in good faith and sufficiently identify the taxpayer, audit period, remedy sought, each alleged error in the assessment, the grounds upon which the taxpayer relies, and any other facts relevant to the taxpayer's contention. The Director may hold a conference with the taxpayer if requested by the taxpayer, or require submission of additional information and documents, a further audit, or other evidence deemed necessary for a proper and equitable determination of the application. The assessment shall be deemed prima facie correct. The Director shall undertake a full review of the taxpayer's claims and issue a determination to the taxpayer setting forth its position. Every assessment pursuant to an audit shall be accompanied by a written explanation of the taxpayer's right to seek correction and the specific procedure to be followed in the County (e.g., the name and address to which an application should be directed).
B. Provided a timely and complete application is made, collection activity shall be suspended until a final determination is issued by the Director, unless the Director determines that collection would be jeopardized by delay or that the taxpayer has not responded to a request for relevant information after a reasonable time. Interest shall accrue in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-7.2-9, but no further penalty shall be imposed while collection action is suspended. The term "jeopardized by delay" includes a finding that the application is frivolous, or that a taxpayer desires to (i) depart quickly from the locality, (ii) remove his property therefrom, (iii) conceal himself or his property therein, or (iv) do any other act tending to prejudice, or to render wholly or partially ineffectual, proceedings to collect the tax for the period in question.
C. Any person assessed with a local license tax as a result of an audit may apply within ninety days of the determination by the Director on an application pursuant to Subsection A of this Section to the Virginia Tax Commissioner for a correction of such assessment. The Tax Commissioner shall issue a determination to the taxpayer within ninety days of receipt of the taxpayer's application, unless the taxpayer and the Director are notified that a longer period will be required. The application shall be treated as an application pursuant to Va. Code § 58.1-1821, and the Tax Commissioner may issue an order correcting such assessment pursuant to Va. Code § 58.1-1822. Following such an order, either the taxpayer or the Director may apply to the appropriate circuit court pursuant to Va. Code § 58.1-3984. However, the burden shall be on the party making the application to show that the ruling of the Tax Commissioner is erroneous. Neither the Tax Commissioner nor the Virginia Department of Taxation shall be made a party to an application to correct an assessment merely because the Tax Commissioner has ruled on it.
D. On receipt of a notice of intent to file an appeal to the Tax Commissioner under Subsection C of this Section, the Director shall further suspend collection activity until a final determination is issued by the Tax Commissioner, unless the Director determines that collection would be jeopardized by delay or that the taxpayer has not responded to a request for relevant information after a reasonable time. Interest shall accrue in accordance with the provisions of Section 4-7.2-9, but no further penalty shall be imposed while collection action is suspended. The term "jeopardized by delay" shall have the same meaning as set forth in Subsection B of this Section.
E. Any taxpayer may request a written ruling regarding the application of a license tax to a specific situation from the Director. Any person requesting such a ruling must provide all the relevant facts for the situation and may present a rationale for the basis of an interpretation of the law most favorable to the taxpayer. Any misrepresentation or change in the applicable law or the factual situation as presented in the ruling request shall invalidate any such ruling issued. A written ruling may be revoked or amended prospectively if (i) there is a change in the law, a court decision, or the guidelines issued by the Virginia Department of Taxation upon which the ruling was based or (ii) the Director notifies the taxpayer of a change in the policy or interpretation upon which the ruling was based. However, any person who acts on a written ruling which later becomes invalid shall be deemed to have acted in good faith during the period in which such ruling was in effect.

Like many other businesses today, textile manufacturers compete against imports from countries with low labor costs. To remain economically viable, companies constantly invest in technology. At B & S Machine Tool (Aiken, South Carolina), a shop that specializes in producing complicated replacement parts for textile machinery, modernization begins on the shop floor.
Located in the heart of the American textile industry, B & S aims to convert what has been a cottage industry—making replacement parts for the machinery used by nearby manufacturers—into a growing business. Bart Blackwell, owner and general manager, purchased the 20-person firm late in 2003 and installed two additional CNC machine tools.
"I invest in technology so my customers don't have to," says Mr. Blackwell.
Recently, the company was able to accomplish one of its premier contract jobs—namely its governor alignment guides for textile machines—by incorporating the use of EdgeCam Advanced Turning and Solid Machinist modules from Pathtrace Systems Inc. (Southfield, Michigan) and wiper inserts from Sandvik Coromant (Fair Lawn, New Jersey). The company also enlisted the help of a mid-sized turning center from Daewoo Machine Tools (West Caldwell, New Jersey).
The company's governor alignment guides are about 2 inches in diameter and 1 3/4 inches in length. Each guide has two different tapers with four rounded edges and diameters ranging from about 1 3/8 inch to 3/4 inch. A 5/8 inch diameter bored and counterbored hole runs axially through the part. The turning and boring are performed on a Daewoo lathe.
There are also two holes in the face of the larger end for extractor screws, drilled parallel to the axis. Two additional holes are drilled in the side for steel setscrews that keep the brass guide in place. Using the same lathe, these holes are drilled radially and tapped with the C-axis spindle.
The critical alignment-guide specification is an RMS-32 finish on the OD tapered surface. This specification is crucial to how the guides align the winding machine components, maximizing productivity. In an effort to maximize productivity at the company, Mr. Goman machines each guide surface to finish specs, including shiny RMS-32s for which several finishing passes are needed.
The stock material is AISI-grade 304 stainless steel. Commonly used in textile machinery wear parts, the material is resistant to abrasion from fabrics and chlorine-based dye chemicals. As the metal is cut, the steel tends to stick to the inserts.
To address this, Mr. Goman evaluated Sandvik's wiper inserts, which have two cutting surfaces, or radii, on each insert edge. "As the part is turned, the radii work together in tandem to cut and smooth the surface," he says. "That wiping effect eliminates the 'scallops' that cutters usually leave in machined metal surfaces. This is precisely how we can meet the RMS-32 without secondary finishing.
"Without EdgeCam, we couldn't use the inserts effectively because of the difficulty in keeping their two radii in contact with the steel at all times," Mr. Goman points out.
Instead of a full radius at the nose, the insert has small flats at the tangent contact surface, which is where the surface finish on the component will be achieved in turning. The intended effect of a wiper insert's custom geometry is to give the insert a flatter nose. According to the manufacturer, the flatter shape enables the insert to remove more material with the back of the profile. Therefore, the insert "wipes" the material. As a result of this effect, the scallops between passes are said to be smaller, and thus the surface finish is improved.
When the company turned the horizontal and vertical faces, the inserts worked correctly. However, turning the tapered surfaces of these conical parts proved to be problematic.
"When we cut the tapers and the shoulders between them, one of the wiper radii would lose contact with the surface," notes Mr. Goman. "That yielded a finish that was smeared rather than cut. With an RMS-32 spec, that was not acceptable. There were two potential solutions, neither of which was appealing."
One course of action would entail inserting feed rate changes one line at a time to the G-code generated by the software. The goal would be to slow the feed rate as the cutter approached any tapered or rounded surface.
"To apply this method, I would need to find each instance where a horizontal surface or a vertical face changed to a taper," explains Mr. Goman. "I would have to decrease the feed rate by about 40 percent to 50 percent for the overall job."
Because each of these parts has tapered and rounded surfaces, eight feed rate changes are necessary. Changing the feed rates manually involves searching through a minimum of 500 lines of code in each program.
"In addition to being tedious and time-consuming, this would offer opportunity for error," notes Mr. Goman. "Moreover, the eight feed rate changes are needed in each of several roughing and finishing passes. If the programmer misplaces a decimal point, the workpiece is scrap."
Released this year, EdgeCam's Version 9.5 features direct support for Sandvik's wiper inserts. This eliminates the programmer's task of having to insert code to manually decrease feed rates on tapered and rounded surfaces. The program automatically varies the feed rate values as recommended by Sandvik cutting data. The tool path also reflects the custom form of the wiper inserts, which, according to the manufacturer, reduces potential accuracy errors that are caused by assuming a single radius on the insert.
The wiper technology incorporates five radii to "build" the nose radius of the insert. The main cutting radius is situated at the point of the insert. Behind this radius on either side is the wiper radius itself. It is blended into the main cutting radius by using a blending radius. This reduces tool pressure by eliminating the need to use a flat as the wiper.
As the insert enters the material, its main cutting radius cuts in the same manner as a standard nose radius. The cutting action produces feed lines that are equal to the feed rate being programmed. These feed lines have peaks and valleys (also called "scallops") that can be measured using a profilometer. The trailing wiper radius removes the scallops as it passes. As a result, improved surface finishes and high feed rates are possible, the company says.
The governor alignment guides are cut on a Daewoo Puma 230-MB, a turning center with a 12-inch swing, a 22-inch Z travel, a C axis and a Fanuc 18i-T CNC. Useful for collets for small diameter work, the machine has a 4-foot bar feeder and a programmable tailstock.
"The combination of using the CAM software and the cutting tools exceeded our expectations," says Mr. Goman. "We originally expected the inserts to increase the feed rates on tapered surfaces 0.012 ipr to 0.006 ipr, which would represent a 5 percent or 10 percent time savings," he explains. "Improving the surface finish was an unexpected bonus."
The actual results the B & S experienced were better than the company had anticipated. Of the two jobs that were executed, the depth of cut was increased from 0.080 ipr to 0.125 ipr per side. Machining speeds were increased from 425 sfm to 900 sfm. Results also included a programming time reduction of as much as 20 minutes per program on repetitive jobs and a reduction in consumables costs by as much as 50 percent. Each lot of 50 guides is run with two wiper inserts, one for the ODs and one for the bored through-holes. The number of machining passes was reduced by 50 percent, a savings of several minutes of machining for each part. According to the company, this yielded better surface finishes.
"We stay viable in the marketplace by continuing to upgrade our equipment, using the best tooling available and optimizing the tooling and equipment's performance with applications like EdgeCam," Mr. Gorman adds. "We will continue to leverage the latest technologies to grow this business."

This paper examines whether John Milton was a misogynist by analyzing his epic poem "Paradise Lost". It discusses how his experiences with women, such as the fiasco of his marriage to Mary Powell, must have had some impact on him. The writer also looks at the time in which Milton lived, the 17th century, which was a time of enormous sexism, and analyzes his hatred for women in this context. The writer concludes that although Milton's Eve is a pathetic, slave-like creature, there is not enough evidence to conclude that Milton was a misogynist and suggests that perhaps Milton was no more (or less) than a man of his time.
From the Paper:"John Milton's Paradise Lost is one of the greatest works of English literature. Many people have commented on it, and argued about it. One of the aspects that people have been interested in, is how Milton portrays women. Does Milton hate women, or look down on them? Is Milton a misogynist? This essay examines the evidence, and finds that Milton did look down on women - but this was normal for a man of his time. In short, he was not so much a misogynist, as a man of his time."

RIP Crappy School Lunches, or: Six Legendary Cafeteria Menu Items
It's the end of an era.
I Miss Chalupa Day in the School Cafeteria
Oh, the chalupa. The only redeeming thing about Chalupa Day was saying the word "chalupa." The one I remember looks a lot like the photo--a scary slab of dry-as-dirt refried beans, crumbly mystery meat, some rubbery cheese, all plastered on a massive amorphous tortilla chip. At least 20 people disagree with me on this one, according to the I Miss Chalupa Day In The School Cafeteria Facebook Page, but I still believe that the thing had more value as a Frisbee.
Team Taco Boat or Team Chicken Patty Facebook Page
Chicken Patty Day was always met with an in-unison groan. There was nothing exciting about a dry patty atop an even drier bun. However, this dish helped me learn the value of the ketchup packet.
Right-angled pizza and cafeteria trays just make good geometric sense. As for the pizza itself--well, you know what they say about pizza. When it's good, it's really good. And when it's bad? Hey, it's still pretty good!
Team Taco Boat or Team Chicken Patty Facebook Page
I loved taco boats. It was pretty much a tostada with meat, cheese, lettuce and taco sauce, but it was called a boat. Boats are cool.

Yantai Travel Guide
In 2004, China Central Television (CCTV) recognized Yantai as the most "Charming City of China." The city is located in the northeast of the Shandong Province. It is bordered by both the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, and lies across from South Korea and Japan. The city includes four districts - Zhifu, Fushan, Mouping and Laishan, and Changdao County, and administers seven county-level cities - Penglai, Laiyang, Haiyang and Longkou, Laizhou, Zhaoyuan and Qixia. Of these, Zhifu is the central district. Although Yantai is not a metropolis like Beijing and Shanghai, it has its own unique charm.
Evidence suggests Yantai existed as a city as long as 10,000 years ago. It was visited three times by the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, Qinshihuang (259BC-210BC). During the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) a fire platform, called Langyantai Platform, was constructed on the northernmost city hill, as a means of defense against pirates. General Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty fought against pirates using this platform, and developed Penglai Water City, a navy base which remains well-preserved to this day.
Although located in North China, monsoons regulate the climate, keeping the area warm and humid. The average annual temperature is 11.8C (53.24F). Fruits and vegetables are plentiful, and the long coastline and over 60 islands make the area ideal for any seafood connoisseur - sea-cucumbers, abalones, scallops, crabs and prawns, are all easily available. The earth here is rich with resources as well - its gold reserve, in particular, has the highest output in China.
Adding to the draw of local natural resources, the picturesque scenery in and around the city has earned the area acclaim by the United Nations, which lists it as one of the most habitable places in the world. Undulating hills rise above the area's many rivers, and are framed by beaches and neighboring islands.
Local food here is well-known all around China. Local cooks take advantage of area's abundant sea food, vegetables and fruits, creatively crafting tasty dishes. Yantai is also the cradle of wine production in China, housing the largest wine production base in Asia. With its high quality and more than 100-years of history, Zhangyu Red Wine produced here is a widely known brand in China and abroad. In 1987, the International Grape and Wine Bureau dubbed the city the "International Grape and Wine City." Nowadays, the Changyu Wine Culture Museum in the city records the wine's history and culture.
Today, with the city's rapid economic development, facilities here are improving, and transportation is becoming more and more convenient. Ships, trains, airplanes, buses and taxis have modernized daily life and attract tourists to Yantai.
