I've practiced law in Columbus, Ohio for nearly eleven years. I don't know if I've learned all that much over that time, but I have learned a couple of things. First, even if your office has a casual policy, always keep a suit hanging on the back of the door, because you never know when you're going to get called down to court. Second, bring extra copies of everything with you when you go to court, because clerks and bailiffs have way more important things to do than to make copies for you, and they will hurt you in insidious ways if you're not nice to them. Third, when you appear before judges in smaller counties, do not, under any circumstances, act as though their orders are not as important as the orders from big city courts, because they really, really don't like that:
An Ohio judge has ordered the N.C.A.A. to appear in court later this month to explain why it has apparently not followed an order that invalidated the organization's ban on the use of lawyers by baseball players during negotiations with professional teams.
In a ruling issued Tuesday, Erie County Judge Tygh M. Tone found that the N.C.A.A. is most likely in "indirect civil and criminal contempt" of a February court order that found the ban was illegal because it interfered with an athlete's right to legal representation. In April, an Ohio appellate court ruled that an N.C.A.A. appeal of the order was premature because the case had not yet concluded.
The problem, basically, is that despite Judge Tone telling the NCAA otherwise, the NCAA is still out there telling high school baseball players that they'll lose eligibility if they hire a lawyer to negotiate with Major League teams who draft them. Ignoring a judge's order like that is just the sort of thing that really makes a judge mad.
It's also the sort of thing that shows you just how arrogant and oblivious to reality the NCAA is.

Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac gets U.S. release dates; will be split into two films
For those fearing (hoping?) they'd never see Lars Von Trier's sex epic NYMPHOMANIAC on the big screen, you can now rest...uncomfortably. The film has been split into two parts, NYMPHOMANIAC: PART ONE and NYMPHOMANIAC: PART TWO, which will hit U.S. theaters and VOD early next year. PART ONE will debut on VOD March 6, 2014, then bow in theaters on March 21, 2014. PART TWO will hit VOD on April 3, 2014 and then theaters on April 18, 2014. Set your calendars accordingly.
From THR:
Together, the 4 ½ hour cinema event tracks the life story of Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who, badly beaten, is taken in by the older bachelor Seligmann (Stellan Skarsgard). She proceeds to tell him the erotic story of her life. Nymphomaniac: Part One also stars Stacy Martin as the younger Joe, Shia LaBeouf, Christian Slater, Uma Thurman, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Connie Nielsen and Udo Kier.
Nymphomaniac: Part Two, which traces Joe's adulthood, co-stars Jamie Bell, Willem Dafoe, Mia Goth and Jean-Marc Barr.
According to producer Louise Vesth, the film(s) will debut theatrically with graphic depictions of sexuality "right up against the censorship limits, maybe just over them," although there is also talk of "blurring" images for some international audiences. A longer, five-and-a-half hour cut is expected to make the festival circuit next year.
The whole thing feels excessive in every aspect. It's hard to justify any movie over two hours, but four-and-a-half hours of porn art is a bit much, even by internet standards. That said, I consider KILL BILL vol. 1 & 2 to be the same movie, so there's that.
Will you be checking out NYMPHOMANIAC (part one, two, or both) out of morbid curiosity, genuine interest, or are you steering clear?

With all three stages of the 28th annual Tucson Bicycle Classic completed, San Diego native Janel Holcomb sported the yellow jersey and championship trophy in the pro women's category.
She had company. Five of the top seven finishers, including Holcomb, are members of Team Optum.
"It was wonderful to be able to race with one another and get the season rolling in Tucson," said Holcomb, who edged the field by 39 seconds; teammate and last year's winner, Leah Kirchmann, took fourth. "It was a great race to be able to do that at."
In the men's pro category, Team Jamis/Hagens Berman saw similar success as substitute Gregory Brenes and teammate Ben Jacques-Maynes took first and second, with their overall times separated by less than a tenth of a second.
Holcomb, who won her only other TBC race in 2009, captured pole position after her first-place effort in Saturday's road race in Sahuarita, the second of three stage races in Tucson's own "mini Tour de France."
The 36-year-old and teammate Denise Ramsden, from Vancouver, British Columbia, controlled the final three laps of the seven-lap, 5.6-mile circuit on Sunday, with Ramsden taking the first-place time bonus. Yet, she couldn't catch Holcomb.
The two teammates were neck-and-neck at the end, both timing in at 1:42:47, but Holcomb said they missed out on the drama and celebration of a photo finish because they caught up and crossed the line with a previous group still on the circuit.
"At the end of the day, what matters is that the yellow jersey stays within the team," Holcomb said. "It doesn't matter who has it."
Nearly 580 competitors made it out to Sunday's final stage, a 5.6-mile loop starting and finishing next to the Pima Community College West Campus on Greasewood Road.
With 28 categories separating riders into different age, gender and skill categories, the field spanned from 11-year-olds to a biker who just entered his 80s.
Yet, it was the 25-year-old Brenes, from Costa Rica, who captured the men's title. Brenes gained the slight advantage over Jacques-Maynes in the TBC's first stage, a 3.2-mile time trial on the Old Tucson/McCain Loop, and never let up.
On Sunday, Brenes stayed tightly in the pack of racers, finishing 10th in the circuit race. The group of racers was so tight, though, that Brenes didn't lose any ground to his closest competition, with a huge chunk of the men clocking in at 1:50:23.
Tucson's Travis McCabe, last year's runner-up, made a slight jump with his time bonus on Sunday, but still finished fourth overall.
Third-place finisher Mac Cassin, a 22-year-old student at the University of Colorado, said the final lap of the men's nine-lap, 50-mile circuit was "really hectic" as 70-plus riders were amped up for a sprint finish, jostling for position.
Cassin said he was able to avoid several crashes during the lap, and his teammates from GS CIAO, Josh Yeaton and Emerson Oronte, "rocketed" into a first- and second-place finishes. Neither, though, could make enough of a dent in Brenes' lead.
"It is frustrating and I've had it happen before," Cassin said about finishing less than 2 seconds behind Brenes. "I've been on both ends of it. You just learn to take it in stride."

Another Dr M diversion, who they vote for not the issue
YOURSAY 'Giving unqualified immigrants citizenship and the right to vote was wrong then and is still wrong today. Period.'
Dr M: Immigrants given ICs don't necessarily vote BN
Boiling Mud: The crux of the matter is not whether those immigrants who were given ICs voted for BN.
The issue is the act of granting them the right to vote for BN to stay in power. In so doing, the perpetrator had not only divided the country further, but he had also committed high treason.
In the long run, those who will suffer the repercussion worst would probably be a divided Malay community that comprises people from different ethnic origins with different agendas and ideologies.
These newly-minted citizens are here with the main objective of seeking and building a fortune for themselves. And where they came from, there are no special privileges and no protected position accorded to them.
They will probably rely on their true grit to carve a living in this country that unwittingly opens the floodgate to their influx. Who stands a better chance to advance? Them, or our pampered, dependent lot?
Faz: Former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad is throwing another red herring. Please do not get diverted from the core issue.
Giving unqualified immigrants citizenship and the right to vote was wrong then and is still wrong today. Period. Who they voted for is not the issue.
Spinnot: The main issue is whether these foreigners were given Malaysian citizenship in accordance to the law. Some witnesses at the Sabah RCI (royal commission of inquiry) did testify that they were told to vote for the BN in return for instant citizenship.
Whether in the end they voted for BN or the opposition, or did not vote, is another issue.
Tholu: Like a man caught red-handed for his wrongdoings, Mahathir keeps twisting and changing his stories about the citizenship-for-vote scandal in Sabah.
He ought to realise that the people are not naive and gullible - as he may wish they are - to believe his interpretation that Perkasa chief Ibrahim Ali did not mean what he said, i.e. to literally burn the Malay Bible.
Mushiro: First, he answered that the immigrants were qualified as they could speak Bahasa Malaysia.
Second, he justified that Tunku Abdul Rahman also did the same in 1957. Third, he blamed the then deputy PM Anwar Ibrahim of being directly involved. Now he is saying that this benefitted the opposition.
Mahathir will give 101 reasons but with none blaming himself. This is our wannabe hypocrite and treasonous "statesman" who has stolen billions from the nation for himself and his children and left Malaysia with a chronic culture of mega-corruption, sub-standard education, subservient judiciary, clueless civil service, corrupt police force and other government institutions.
My advice to him is to return all the stolen money, apologise to Malaysians and submit himself to investigation.
Save Our Currency: They would definitely have been threatened that their citizenship will be taken back if they don't vote BN. After all, serial numbers on the ballot paper are recorded.
They must have been told that the authorities can double check. Moreover, why give citizenship if not for votes.
Also this could be the reason the indelible ink was withdrawn at the very last minute in the 2008 elections - to allow these instant citizens to vote.
I hope with the indelible ink this time, there will be no recording of serial numbers in the ballot paper. NGOs, please make sure of that.
Ferdtan: This is Mahathir's reasoning to downplay Ibrahim Ali's call to burn the copies of the Bible with 'Allah' on them: "He was commenting on standard government procedures to dispose of publications that contravene laws, that is by burning. I don't think he meant to insult the Bible."
Imagine him talking stupid like that - our PM for 22 years. This is very insulting to us, as if we have no brains to understand what Ibrahim was really saying.
Datos: From producing ICs (identity cards) at his former political secretary Aziz Shamsuddin's backyard, then blaming Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim for this, and now justifying the act by stating that these instant citizens may have voted for the opposition.
Does he think we are all kindergarten dropouts?
Anonymous #49297474: I'm expecting more evil things from BN if it is able to retain Putrajaya. There is no room to remain politically neutral now, when it is so clear that the wrongdoing in BN is so deliberate.
OMG!!: This is the treacherous act of the highest order and it is the mother of all scandals committed by Dr M during his 22 years of iron-fist rule - far worst than the corruption, cronyism and nepotism that he is often associated with.
This issue alone should be enough for all right-minded voters to overthrow this corrupt and treacherous government come GE13.
Oscar Kilo: Indeed, it will be most unfortunate if Mahathir stays silent only after he has passed away.
Mahathir turns logic on its head over Project IC

I. More.
I have this image in my head of us as a society, as this gaping maw of hunger that chants its war-cry into the night as it devours its way forwards. 'More. More. More.' it says as it chews its way through forest and ocean and pristine wilderness. 'More!' it chants as it gnaws through black rhino and ice cap. 'MORE!' it cries as it gnashes at spirit and joy and free will, leaving a wake of emptiness in its shadow. We beat our resources into submission, be it the planet, our employees, our own bodies, demanding more: productivity, energy, youth, attention. And rarely, if ever, do we stop to ask if what we are and what we have is actually enough.
During classes about crofts and the Highland clearances (a good Scottish education for you) when I was young, we learned about crop rotation. It was all perfectly logical: nutrients are being sucked up from the land into the plants and if you don't rotate the crops and leave one field fallow each cycle then the land has nothing to give and eventually the crops fail. At some point, this changed. People discovered that you could keep pouring chemical nutrients onto the soil and spray chemicals to kill the insects that have taken advantage of the plants' weakness. On the surface the crop still looks the same: big and plump and ripe for the picking. But underneath the surface, the crop is a sad replica of what it could have been. Continue reading

U.S. WNT Arrives in Chengdu in Advance of Their First Match of the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup
2007 FIFA Women's World Cup
Chengdu, China
Sept. 6, 2007
U.S. TEAM TOUCHES DOWN IN CHENGDU: The U.S. Women's World Cup Team landed in Chengdu on the afternoon of September 6 to begin final preparations for its opening match, taking place at the Chengdu Sports Center Stadium on Sept. 11 at 5 p.m. local time (5 a.m. ET). The match will be broadcast live on ESPN2. The U.S. team traveled from Shanghai, where it spent eight days training, but will now lock in their focus as the beginning of FIFA's fifth Women's World Cup is just five days away. While the U.S. team did not train on its travel day, it will practice almost every day in Chengdu leading up to the game, including a session at the stadium on Sunday, September 9. The U.S. players got their first real taste of Women's World Cup excitement at the Chengdu airport, as they were met by quite a few photographers and cameramen, all in a frenzy to get a glimpse of the world's top-ranked team. The 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup officially kicks off the day before the U.S. match, on Sept. 10, as defending champion Germany takes on Argentina to get things rolling at the 34,000-seat Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium at 8 p.m. local time (8 a.m. ET) in the only match on that day. FIFA president Sepp Blatter will attend the Germany-Argentina match, and then will travel to Chengdu to watch the USA vs. North Korea game as well as the second half of that doubleheader, featuring Nigeria and Sweden. Blatter will also attend China's opening game against Denmark in Wuhan on September 12.
OPENING CERMONIES KICKOFF TOURNAMENT IN SHANGHAI: Prior to the Germany-Argentina match, there will be a 30-minute opening ceremony that will include a total of 1,800 people, of which 1,600 will be women. "Visitors will see many soccer balls and roses during the ceremony, which reflects the combination of strength and beauty," said Teng Junjie, organizer of the Opening Ceremony. China's Women's National Team is nicknamed "the Steel Roses."

STUDIO 90: CHINA '07 ON FOX SOCCER CHANNEL: "Studio 90: China '07," a special 30-minute show previewing the U.S. Women's National Team's participation in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China, debuts on Fox Soccer Channel on Monday, Sept. 10 at 8 p.m. ET. It will be shown again that night at 11 p.m. ET and re-aired four more times during the week. The second show on the WNT produced for FSC by the U.S. Soccer Communications Department, "Studio 90: China'07" has several special features. The show includes a behind-the-scenes look at a "Day in the Life" of star forward Abby Wambach, highlights of the team's Send-OffSeries matches in advance of the Women's World Cup, and an introduction of the U.S. Women's World Cup Team by position. In addition, join young forward Heather O'Reilly for a feature taped last January in China at the Four Nations Tournament. And finally, you don't want to miss the full glory of "Jim Mike, PR Man" as he shares his "revolutionary" ideas with the U.S. players (whether they like it or not) to help promote women's soccer in America.
GOALKEEPERS (3): 21-Nicole Barnhart (Gilbertsville, Pa.), 1-Briana Scurry (Dayton, Minn.), 18-Hope Solo (Richland, Wash.);
DEFENDERS (6): 2-Marian Dalmy (Lakewood, Colo.), 8-Tina Ellertson (Vancouver, Wash.), 14-Stephanie Lopez (Elk Grove, Calif.), 15-Kate Markgraf (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), 3-Christie Rampone (Point Pleasant, N.J.), 4-Cat Whitehill (Birmingham, Ala.);
MIDFIELDERS (7): 7-Shannon Boxx (Redondo Beach, Calif.), 17-Lori Chalupny (St. Louis, Mo.), 16-Angela Hucles (Virginia Beach, Va.), 19-Marci Jobson (St. Charles, Ill.), 11-Carli Lloyd (Delran, N.J.), 12-Leslie Osborne (Brookfield, Wis.), 10-Aly Wagner (San Jose, Calif.);
FORWARDS (5): 6-Natasha Kai (Kahuku, Hawaii), 13-Kristine Lilly (Wilton, Conn.), 9-Heather O'Reilly (East Brunswick, N.J.), 5-Lindsay Tarpley (Kalamazoo, Mich.), 20-Abby Wambach (Rochester, N.Y.).
CLUB OF ONE: Add another milestone to her sterling resume. As it turns out, Kristine Lilly is the only player in the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup that will be playing in her fifth World Cup tournament. The U.S. captain is one of just four players in China '07 who were at the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup when it was first held in China, but she is the only player who played in the next three tournaments as well. Only two men can match Lilly's record of five World Cups: Mexico's Antonio Carbajal from 1950 to 1966 and Germany's Lothar Matthäus from 1982 to 1998. The most capped player in the history of international soccer (331), Lilly has started in every Women's World Cup game the USA has ever played. Norwegian goalkeeper Bente Nordby, Brazil's Pretinha and New Zealand's Wendi Henderson also took part in the 1991 Women's World Cup, although Nordby did not play in any of her nation's matches. Pretinha missed the 2003 WWC, while Henderson has helped New Zealand return to the WWC after a 16-year absence.
EXPERIENCE ON THE SIDE: While only nine of the players on the USA's 21-player roster have played in a Women's World Cup at the senior level before, an additional five players have played in the Olympics and/or a FIFA youth tournament, meaning only seven have never played in a FIFA championship at any level. Heather O'Reilly and Lindsay Tarpley were members of the 2004 Olympic Team, and along with Leslie Osborne and Lori Chalupny, played on the U.S. team that won the FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in 2002. Stephanie Lopez played for the USA at the 2004 FIFA U-19 WWC and the 2006 U-20 FIFA WWC.
I'D LIKE THE BLOG, PLEASE?: The U.S. Women's National Team is very close to "go time" at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup, but it's not all shots, headers and tackles in China. The American team is a fun group and you can get some insight into the zaniness via the WNT Blog. Want to know who is teaching Hip-Hop classes to the U.S. team? Who is buying the most pearls?

LLOYD HAVE MERCY: When the USA opens the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup against North Korea on Sept. 11 in Chengdu (ESPN2 at 4:55 a.m. ET), it could have as many as five players in the starting lineup who have never played in a Women's World Cup before. One of them could be midfielder Carli Lloyd, who has developed into an impact player this year, scoring seven goals, good for third best on the team. During some down time in China (there is a lot of it), Carli sat down with ussoccer.com's Center Circle and answered 11 questions, ranging from her canon shot, to her thoughts on her World Cup debut match, to the quality of pearls in China.
THE WOMEN'S WORLD CUP – IT'S GLOBAL: The fifth FIFA Women's World Cup, returning to its birthplace of China, is expected to reach new heights in global TV viewership. More than 200 countries/territories covered by the TV rights holders across all confederations will be able to watch the 2007 Women's World Cup. This represents not only an increase of 25 percent in terms of transmission to territories compared to 2003, but also significant growth in the number of broadcasters in the various regions with sometimes up to three TV stations in the same country covering the competition live. Only eight years ago, the FIFA Women's World Cup 1999 was broadcast in 67 countries. By 2003, the TV audience had grown to 144 territories worldwide, covering nearly 3,000 hours of tournament play with a total cumulative TV audience of 526 million viewers worldwide.
OF COURSE, IN THE USA, IT'S ON ESPN: Of those 200 countries/territories, the most important to the U.S. team is the United States of America, where fans can watch all the games live on ESPN or ESPN2. The USA's 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup opener will be broadcast on ESPN2 on Sept. 11 at 4:55 a.m. ET, with a re-air at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN Classic and at 11 p.m. on ESPN2.

About 7,500 people applied to be volunteers for the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup and only 630 were accepted. Now that's a tough screening process for a non-paying position, just another sign of China's dedication to putting on a world class tournament.

Thanks to the Internet, African musicians have been getting a growing amount of attention from outside their own borders. Blogs such as Awesome Tapes from Africa have been working to get artists known overseas, while some bands, such as Pasichigare Mbiras, continue to rely on cultural organizations for help.
At the end of the month, African embassies will help bring some acts to Japan. From March 30 to April 1, the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse will host the 2012 African Festival, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary.
The weekend kicks off Friday with Ghana-based drum troupe Akwaaba, which fittingly means "welcome" in the Akan language spoken in that country. The band will perform at 12:30 p.m. and 5 p.m.
On Saturday, you can catch a performance by Pasichigare Mbiras, which consists of both Zimbabwean and Japanese members. They play a traditional African instrument called the mbira.
Guinean singer Nyama Kante will round out the festival Sunday afternoon, performing a set with drum troupe Jelidon that hopes to send you home dancing.
For the entire weekend there will also be photo exhibitions, a game area, an African market and workshops. You can even visit an embassy area, where representatives from Lesotho, Kenya and Ghana will be more than happy to tell you about their countries and culture.
African Festival Yokohama takes place at Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse from March 30-April 1. Entry is free of charge. For more information, visit www.africanfestyokohama.com.

this is so fucking sick.
This is a lie. It's all a joke there's no snow in the northwest it sucks dont come
All that snow is done in after effects. All it does is rain here and cause huge avalanches. I mean fucking massive man. Stay away.
All the 'artsy' editing and filming ruined a good half of the tricks in this movie. Good shit otherwise though.
This was tight when I could tell what was happening. i'm stoked on forest at the end
that was a lot of snowboarding.
WOW! so fucking sick, thank you for that
Probably the best thing I've seen in a while.

Almost right :-)
Under my scheme there is not a predefined and top-down limit on who can give a copy of a file to whom: this would be, in my view, unenforceable and not flexible enough. Instead, it's the mechanism itself that encourages those who paid for a book to give a copy of it only to people who they trust will never share it with anyone else: in fact, if they keep doing otherwise they will almost certainly get some fines on the long run. Nothing
except not wanting to put the original buyer into trouble
prohibits "second-level" sharing.
According to my proposal the work of preventing illegal distribution of content is left to
distributed trust bonds between people
, not to the fear of (extremely unlikely though terrible) punishment as it is today. The reward for doing such prevention is the freedom for everyone of us to do with our media all the things (or most of them) that we would like to do, and are presently prohibited, illegal or unnecessarily difficult.
BTW, thanks to you and everyone else participating in this discussion for your effort to delve into this (now more than a bit on the tl;dr side...). I find this kind of collective brainstorming very interesting and useful to refine ideas.

Meeting with Government members
Meeting with Government members
March 5, 2014, 15:40 Novo-Ogaryovo, Moscow Region
Vladimir Putin held a planned meeting with Government members to discuss implementing the Finance Ministry's programme of work for 2013-2018, the situation on the stock and currency markets, and other current issues.
PRESIDENT OF RUSSIA VLADIMIR PUTIN: Good afternoon, colleagues,
We are here to discuss the situation on the financial and currency markets, but before turning to that question, I would like to hear some updates on a couple of matters.
I know that the Prime Minister has already instructed the Finance Ministry to coordinate with our partners in Ukraine on possible provision of additional aid, as well as assistance for some Ukrainian regions that have come to us with such requests. What is the situation now? Could you update us?
FINANCE MINISTER ANTON SILUANOV: Mr President, overall, Ukraine is indeed facing a difficult situation. Budget spending is falling. Estimates show that only around 15 percent of planned budget spending is actually taking place at the moment.
Naturally, this affects the regions, including Crimea, and so we have organised cooperation now between our Finance Ministry and the Crimean Finance Ministry.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: First, I wanted to hear about Ukraine as a whole.
ANTON SILUANOV: What we are looking at for Ukraine as a whole is falling revenue, which will result in budget spending being revised downward by 15 percent.
In response, our foreign partners are offering aid, primarily through the International Monetary Fund. The United States and the European Union countries have also said they could provide support, and we think that we too should examine the various possibilities for providing assistance if the general situation worsens.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Regarding the regions, do you propose that we work at regional level, work through the Russian regions?
ANTON SILUANOV: I know that Russian regions on the border with Ukraine have put forward proposals for financial aid, seeing as they have already concluded the relevant agreements with their neighbours on mutual cooperation and provision of financial support. These agreements could be implemented now.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Good, thank you.
Mr Miller, you already briefed [Prime Minister] Mr Medvedev on the situation on the Ukrainian energy market. I am aware of the situation and know the details in principle. Has there been any change of late?
GAZPROM CEO ALEXEI MILLER: Mr President, of a total debt of $1.529 billion, Ukraine has paid off $10 million to date, but on March 7, the day after tomorrow, Ukraine's debt commitments will increase by another $440 million in payments for February gas supplies.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: Are they going to pay?
ALEXEI MILLER: Our Ukrainian colleagues have informed us that they cannot pay in full for the gas supplies in February.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: So what will this bring their total debt to?
ALEXEI MILLER: It will increase it substantially, bringing it up to around $2 billion.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: I see. Keep the Prime Minister updated on developments in the situation.
Yes, go ahead.
DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER DMITRY ROGOZIN: Mr President, I just want to add a couple of words on the electricity issue. You know that there are 15 nuclear power plant units currently in operation in Ukraine, as well as the four sealed units at the Chernobyl NPP.
This matter concerns us of course because the reactors are Russian-built. The plants are operating normally and everything is ok there, but external security at the facilities is the responsibility of private security firms and troops from Ukraine's Interior Ministry and Security Service.
There is also the issue of transit of nuclear fuel via Ukrainian territory to our partners in Eastern Europe, and the issue of fuel supplies for the nuclear power plants in Ukraine itself.
Ukraine's power stations have enough fuel reserves to get them through March and April, but that is it. A ban on fuel transit through Ukrainian territory is in place at the moment because of the unstable situation in the country.
We plan to go through [State Atomic Energy Corporation] Rosatom to request that the IAEA conducts an additional inspection of external security at Ukraine's nuclear power plants.
VLADIMIR PUTIN: I have a request to you and your colleagues working in energy and finance. We are aware of the tense political situation, but it should not affect our on-going economic cooperation. We should not add difficulties to an already complicated situation. We need to keep working with all of our established partners. Of course we need to look after our interests too. No one ever gets anything for free, and this is still the rule today. But we should not exacerbate the situation and should not let our economic cooperation become hostage to the political situation.
To be continued.

My little Jiya turned three this week! It's hard to believe that three years have passed since that incredible day that she came into our lives.
Jiya, you are the most amazing, sweet girl that has brightened our lives and filled up our hearts with so much love. I never knew how much love my heart was capable of holding until I met you. Now, I see the inquisitive, talkative three-year-old you've become and it makes me so proud to be your mommy. You have the sweetest voice, especially when you speak in Hindi. I think you have a gift for singing, and can't wait to develop that as you grow up. You are completely fluent in Hindi and English and can transition between the two languages with ease. You can even translate for your daddy! We are always amazed at your outstanding memory. When I was cleaning out and old bag a few days ago, I found some funky candles. Right away, you said "Oh! Those were the candles from Nani's birthday!" -- I was shocked that you remembered that because it was several months prior, and I had forgotten too. You have become such a loving, doting big sister. I love watching you hug and kiss Leela, and continue to constantly talk to her even though she can't answer you. It's so cute to watch you hold both sides of the conversation, "Leela, want me to brush your hair? Yes? Ok!" Although, you are still working on sharing your toys with her, especially because she likes to put everything in her mouth!
You are the funniest person I know. A couple of months ago, we walked into our building elevator where a friendly lady was telling us that she had gone shopping for her husband. Right away you said, "I have two husbands!" The lady, shocked and awed, said "Really? Two husbands?!" and you specified, "Yes, Daddy & Ba (the nanny)"... needless to say, we were all laughing and I knew she was smitten with you, just as all strangers always are. On the bus to school, you and your friends have an adoring, engaged audience when you tell them your names are "Dora, Ariel and Belle" or when you sing (too loudly!) "The Wheels on the Bus." You always chat with people around you, making new friends, asking questions, and you're so perceptive. I can already see how intelligent you are, especially when I watch you problem solve -- whether it be with a puzzle, or with negotiations (related to sharing, asking for chocolate, or for "one more sad story!"), we can see how witty and clever you are. You have such a charisma and charming personality -- and I hope those qualities stay with you forever.
You love playing princess dress up (you always want to be Princess Belle), building with your magnetiles, doing arts & crafts (or, as you used to call it, "obbs and cobbs") riding around your red tricycle, and reading books while cuddling up "in the bushes" (your pillows on the bed). Right now, you love to play doctor, always asking us if we have a boo -boo that needs a bandaid, or if we need any injections? Luckily, you always offer a lollipop or treat to make your patients feel better afterward! You are enamored with Dora, cherishing every Dora sticker, band aid, cell phone, tattoo, etc. that you come across. You love watching Dora episodes and Daniel Tiger (whom you refer to as "Daniel Little Tiger") on the iPad. You love helping with cooking (especially mixing and pouring!), and can even make a perfectly round roti... even better than your mom can! Your best buddies, Big Bo and Baby Bo, are still your favorite cuddly creatures, although you've acquired many other furry friends as part of your bed time routine!
So much has changed since when you turned two. You've had such a big year this year -- from moving to a big girl bed in your big girl room, to becoming a big sister, from starting school, to potty training -- there have been lots of milestones for you. We're so glad (and relieved) that you've adjusted to all of it remarkably well! We love watching you learn, love seeing that sparkle in your eye when you're excited, and it's amazing to see the friendships you are making, and the love that is growing between you and all your grandparents, aunts & uncles, and extended family. We enjoy watching you be social, chatty and engaging with all those around you. We hope that never changes. We wish that you'll always be surrounded by love and support, that you'll continue to learn, grow and flourish, that you and your sister build a beautiful friendship, and that you are blessed with health and happiness for your life. Thank you for blessing me with the gift of motherhood. I could not have asked for more.
Jiya, you really have a sparkling personality that lights up a room. We're so proud of the beautiful little lady you're becoming. Happy 3rd birthday, baby girl!!

Bronson Town Council members and opponents of a recently discussed annexation proposal may have been in disharmony at Monday night's meeting, but one chord rang true throughout the discussion: Most in attendance were not fans of George Stephens.
Stephens, according to Council Member Berlon Weeks, is the largest property-owning resident of Lake Johnson Estates—the subdivision Weeks would like to see annexed—and is responsible for clogging a drainage ditch dug in the 1930s that partially cuts through the subdivision.
The Levy County Jail's video visiting system installed in 2006 has not worked perfectly since it was installed and now replacements for the pieces-parts that were cobbled together to create it are scarce, making repairs difficult, if not impossible.

The menu includes salad, bread, and homemade pies for dessert. All are welcome.
The cost? A bag of groceries for the Society's food shelf. Canned goods, peanut butter, cereal and soups are always needed. If that is difficult or inconvenient, a cash donation is always appreciated.
Last week the green and white converted horse trailers that Levy County uses for its recycling collection program started disappearing from around the county and folks began wondering where they could take their old newspapers, plastic and glass bottles, and cardboard and plastic packaging.
Back by popular demand, the Florida Master Naturalist Program (FMNP) will be returning to Cedar Key this winter. John Lohde, former National Park Ranger, who has worked in every ecosystems in Florida and others across the country will be teaching the Coastal Unit. The sponsoring agency, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, Lower Suwannee and Cedar Keys National Wildlife Refuges will also be the beneficiary of the class.
All it took was a little rain to encourage the trees, shrubs and plants with buds waiting to awaken from their winter sleep. Although Chiefland only got 0.12 inches of rain on Monday, the forecast calls for more precipitation this weekend.

We both looked he just happened to find the girl. And he cleared it with me before approaching the girl. As for tips I was mostly wondering if the nervousness is normal.
Make sure you have an incredibly open dialogue with your partner at all times and I would suggest that you call the shots during your encounter. Good luck, these situations can either be really fun or completely disasterous. Communication and making sure your needs are met are key.
I was part of a threesome once way back in my teens, long before I met DH. Mine was horrible, but it was mostly because of the circumstances surrounding it. One of the biggest mistakes I've ever made.
I guess the only thing I have to offer you from my experience is make sure it's known ahead of time what the expectations are for the night. In mine, me and the other girl thought we were just going to take turns with the guy. But then at one point the guy looked at me and said "now suck her tit". The girl and I looked at each other and were like "hell no".
Not that there is anything wrong with that, just that we weren't expecting that and it took us by surprise.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/11/2012 (1749 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
CTV hits bull's-eye with scheduling move
It took a few weeks, a short-term experiment and some favourable ratings reports to convince them, but CTV programmers have finally decided to move one of the best U.S.-network acquisitions of the new season onto its main network. Arrow, a stylish comic-book adaptation, began the fall on CTV Two, the cluster of stations formerly known as A-Channel (which does not have a presence in Manitoba), but CTV decided to give the series a tryout run on the main channel and audiences clearly approved. Next week (Wednesday, Nov. 14, at 10 p.m.), Arrow's promotion becomes permanent.
Supercut: 101 Greatest Movie Villains
Halloween might be over, but film lovers know that the greatest villains of all time weren't just in horror movies. Released last week, this six-minute supercut -- bit.ly/villain_supercut -- stitches together everyone from Patrick Bateman in American Psycho and the mobsters in Goodfellas to Jason from the Friday the 13th series and Jack Nicholson in The Shining (right).
There's always the e-book
If you want to buy this year's Giller Prize winner, 419 by Calgary author Will Ferguson, you'll have to pay the full freight for the hardcover edition. Even though the novel first came out last spring, Penguin Canada is holding to its original plan to issue the less expensive trade paperback version in March 2013. A year's lag between hardcover and trade paper is standard, but some publishers try to strike while the awards iron is hot.
Christmas comes but once a year
Eleven Pipers Piping, the second in C.C. Benison's series of 12 cosy mysteries featuring vicar Tom Christmas, will be launched at 7 p.m. Nov. 8 at McNally Robinson Booksellers. The Winnipeg-based Benison started his countdown through The Twelve Days of Christmas carol last year with the well-received Twelve Drummers Drumming. This time one of the pipers ends up dead in a tower of an apparent heart attack and Christmas is coming to investigate.
Better watch out
The movie Silent Night, a remake of the notorious '80s slasher Silent Night, Deadly Night, was shot in Winnipeg and Selkirk this past spring with stars Malcolm McDowell and Jaime King as cops hunting for a psycho Santa. At the time, it was intended for a theatrical release this Christmas and while it may play in a few theatres somewhere, it is actually scheduled to hit DVD on Dec. 4. Just look for "Silent Night Official Trailer" on YouTube.

Peetie Wheatstraw
0 Shouts - 100,840 Scrobbles
Peetie Wheatstraw (December 21, 1902 – December 21, 1941) was the name adopted by singer William Bunch, a greatly influential figure among 1930s blues singers. Although the only known picture of Bunch shows him holding a National brand tricone resonator guitar, his primary instrument was the piano.Read More...
Wheatstraw was born William Bunch in Ripley, Tennessee but grew up in Cotton Plant, Arkansas, where his family relocated soon after his birth. Little is known of his early life, other than that he took up playing both the piano and guitar at a young age.
Bunch left Cotton Plant in 1927 and began living the life of an itinerant musician traveling throughout the Deep South. Like many African Americans of this time period, the great migration eventually drew his attention to the cities of the North. Places such as Chicago, Indianapolis and Detroit were favoured destinations, due to the wealth of employment in the factories located in these cities. St. Louis was another city that drew its share of uprooted individuals who sought a better life than that offered by the toil of sharecropping. It was in St. Louis that Bunch landed in 1929.
Having honed his musical talents while travelling, and influenced by the popularity of the Blues duet of pianist Leroy Carr and guitar player Scrapper Blackwell, Bunch found easy work in the clubs of both St. Louis and East St. Louis on the other side of the Mississippi River.
It was around this time Bunch decided to change his name to Peetie Wheatstraw. He also called himself "The Devil's Son-in-Law" and this title is under his name starting with his earliest recordings.
Wheatstraw's self-promotion swiftly paid off as he became a popular performer in East St. Louis, to the extent that he was asked to Chicago in 1930 to partake in recording sessions. He first entered the Vocalion Studios on August 13, 1930, and recorded a handful of numbers which included "Four O'Clock In The Morning" and "Tennessee Peaches Blues". Over the following decade, he would make several such treks, recording over 160 sides for the Vocalion, Decca and Bluebird labels.
Wheatstraw was known for his laid-back approach and adept singing and songwriting, though his instrumental talents were average at best. His songwriting appealed to working class minorities, due to their nature of the content—he often wrote about social issues such as unemployment and public assistance. There were also pieces about the immoral ways of loose women, and true to his own self-publicity, death and the supernatural. Almost all of his songs included his trademark "Ooh, well well", usually accentuated in the third verse, and this has been carried on by many subsequent Bluesmen, most noteworthy today being R.L. Burnside.
On his records Wheatstraw is occasionally heard playing guitar, but he usually took to the piano and required a guitarist to play with him—among his collaborators were Kokomo Arnold, Lonnie Johnson, Charlie Jordan, Charlie McCoy and Teddy Bunn, in addition to pianist Champion Jack Dupree. On some of his last dates, Peetie Wheatstraw recorded within a jazz inspired framework, collaborating with Lil Armstrong and trumpeter Jonah Jones.
Wheatstraw's influence was enormous during the 1930s. Perhaps the most obvious example of Wheatstraw's impact can be seen in the writings of Robert Johnson, often considered the most important Blues figure of the era. Many of Johnson's own recordings were actually re-workings of other popular artists of the time, and he drew heavily from Wheatstraw's repertoire.

Court Rules Yukos to Pay $1.34 Billion
Tax bills could drive company into bankruptcy unless compromises are reached.
MOSCOW -- The Moscow Arbitration Court ruled Monday that the embattled oil giant Yukos must pay $1.34 billion in fines and penalties as part of a $4.1 billion back-tax claim for 2001, Russian news agencies reported.
The decision was the latest of many to go against Yukos during a more than year-long legal campaign against the company and its former CEO, Mikhail Khodorkovsky.
Khodorkovsky's ongoing trial on separate tax and fraud charges is expected to drag on for months, and analysts expect more claims against the company he built to follow -- eventually pushing the final bill to well beyond $10 billion for 2000-03.
Yukos officials have repeatedly warned that the vast tax bills could drive the company into bankruptcy unless compromises are reached, such as allowing it an extended payment schedule for the arrears. Yukos produces about 2 percent of the world's oil and the legal assault has raised fears of supply interruptions, one of the factors contributing to recent high global oil prices.
Adding to the company's woes, its main subsidiary Yuganskneftegaz was last week handed a separate tax claim for 2002 of nearly $1 billion. The unit, which is being evaluated for sale against the company's debts, pumps 60 percent of Yukos's oil.
Yukos is struggling to pay a $3.4 billion tax bill for 2000 by the end of October.
The 2001 bill -- of which the core amount of $2.7 billion was already payable before Monday's widely expected ruling -- raises the company's total liabilities to some $7.5 billion. Although the court reduced the bill to $1.34 billion instead of the original $1.39 billion, Yukos lawyers said they would recommend that the company dispute its decision.

'The Ninth' deepens regard for Beethoven's masterpiece
Summer for classical music lovers in Pittsburgh need not be the cruelest season, despite the almost complete evaporation of concerts.
For real music lovers, there's always more than simply going out to concerts. Listening to recordings at home is a wonderful way not only to enjoy music but also to deepen appreciation.
Reading books on music also can take our love of the art to another level. A well-conceived and well-written book on music can help us understand the context in which a composer created as well as take us more closely into specifics that flow by during a performance.
Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 was the first of two climaxes at the end of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra's 2010-11 season. However controversial music director Manfred Honeck's interpretation of Beethoven's Ninth was -- some people loved it; others hated it -- the piece itself is so transporting that the desire to experience it again and know it better is almost irresistible.
That desire is particularly well served by a new book by one of the finest writers on classical music working today. "The Ninth" by Harvey Sachs (Random House, $26) is a slender volume, just 200 pages of text, written with personal passion and drawing on broad-ranging research. Unlike many wonderful books on music, it is written for general readers and requires no knowledge of music's technical aspects or the ability to read music. Owning a recording of Beethoven's Ninth will be a useful supplement.
Sachs' book is in four sections, each a marvel of brevity despite fascinating side journeys. He begins at the apartment house in Vienna where Beethoven wrote the Ninth, grounding his narrative in the realities of life for the aging and completely deaf composer. Along with judicious reporting on the circumstance of the premiere, he provides astute comments on classical style and its internal contrasts. For all Sach's enthusiasm for his subject, he is a remarkably clear-sighted and balanced guide. He paints no idealized portrait of the composer, but ends the section by calling Beethoven "a modern man" for his questioning nature that took nothing at face value.
Beethoven's Ninth is famous as the first symphony to use words, the "Ode to Joy" by Friedrich Schiller. Sach's second section explores the significance of Beethoven's need to use Schiller's words in 1824, although he had first contemplated using them a quarter century earlier.
This chapter, "1824, or How Artists Internalize Revolution," looks at the reaction of other artists -- such as writers Lord Byron (George Gordon Byron), Heinrich Heine and Alexander Pushkin -- to the defeat and suppression of the ideas of the French Revolution. The excesses of the revolution itself, the further betrayal by Napoleon when he made himself emperor, and the re-establishment of authoritarian aristocracy after Napoleon's defeat were profoundly depressing to people who believed liberty, equality and brotherhood would be the basis of a better world.
Beethoven's choice of the "Ode to Joy," with its exaltation of brotherhood, for his Ninth Symphony was a brave and defiant statement. It also has proven to be timeless.
Sachs makes the shrewd observation that the restoration of the aristocracy and suppression of personal liberty led many artists to turn inward, which contributed to the emotional characteristics of the romantic age that followed Beethoven.
As fascinating as Sach's narrative has been to this point, his writing about the Ninth itself in the book's third section will be most valuable for anyone wanting to understand the music itself in a more detailed and deeper way. This section is full of fascinating observations and presents a persuasive interpretation of the work as a whole.
Finally, in the fourth section, Sachs looks at the aftermath of a genius such as Beethoven and how composers had to begin anew because no one could see a way to go further than Beethoven.
"The Ninth" is Sach's ninth book and perhaps his most valuable. Easily read in a single day or a couple of evenings, it is an inspiring examination of one of music's supreme masterpieces. It will be years before the Pittsburgh Symphony performs the Ninth again. In the meantime, music lovers can use Sachs' book and a recording to deepen their appreciation and enjoyment of this masterpiece. Then, hearing it in concert will be a different kind of experience.Additional Information:

It's hard to say you're a fan of horror movies these days without people looking at you like you're some drooling feeb in need of institutional help. The genre is so degraded and depraved, it's hard to say what's worse: the numbing repetition of the slasher franchises, or the sick sadism of "Saw" et al., which want you to enjoy the torturer's thrills.
So let's forget about "horror" and just say we like films that scare us. Yes, these do exist, and the absolute best in recent years is Juan Antonio Bayona's debut, "The Orphanage" (titled "Eien no Kodomotachi" in Japan). If this flick doesn't scare the living shizzbit out of you, check your pulse.
"The Orphanage" was the biggest hit in Spain since 2001's "The Others," and it actually resembles that film a bit: There's a mother who moves with her sick child into an eerie old house that seems to be haunted. Yet while "The Others" never managed to be more than slightly spooky, "The Orphanage" conjures up a spell of pure terror.
Set in present-day Spain, "The Orphanage" follows adoptive mother Laura (Belen Rueda, "The Sea Inside"), with her husband, Carlos (Fernando Cayo), and son, Simon (Roger Princep), as she moves back to the remote orphanage where she grew up as a child. Laura plans to turn the old, labyrinthine building into a home for special-needs children, but she hasn't been there long when Simon starts talking about his imaginary friend Tomas. Disturbingly, physical signs of Tomas' presence start to appear, and Laura's fears increase when a strange, threatening social worker (Mabel Rivera) suddenly turns up.

On the day of the orphanage's re-opening party, Simon disappears, and in an absolutely delirious scene, Laura runs around the garden, tearing the masks off the partygoers, to see if any of them are Simon. It's perfectly executed terror by Bayona, with the camera veering left and right, jump-cutting between the masked kids — who suddenly seem threatening in their anonymity — before finally showing us a glimpse of someone who shouldn't be there: Tomas.
Bayona shapes his film along two strands: One, a mother's grief and the strength and determination she finds to do anything to find her child; the other, a classic haunting story in which dark secrets refuse to remain buried.
It's the strength of the performances, though — particularly by Rueda, and Geraldine Chaplin as a psychic who speaks with the dead — and Bayona's sheer skill in using insinuating sound, well-planned camera-work, and escalating tension to scare the bejeezus out of you, that really set this film apart from the pack. Notably, Bayona eschews gore, but for one quick shocker.
Expertly combining the psychological realism of, "Don't Look Now" (the 1973 classic), for example, with the dread and paranoia of "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), "The Orphanage" resurrects the tactics of vintage horror to great effect.
My No. 1 film of 2006 was Turkish-German director Fatih Akin's "Head On," a ferocious, punk love story that veered wildly between hope and despair. After a diversion into Istanbul's music scene with last year's documentary "Crossing The Bridge," Akin again picks up his themes of doomed love and shifting cultural identity in his excellent new film, "The Edge Of Heaven" (titled "Soshite, Watashitachi wa Ai ni Kaeru" in Japan).
Akin employs the currently trendy trope of using disparate characters and storylines and finding the almost coincidental points of connection between them. This is getting a bit overused these days ("Babel," "Crash," etc.), but Akin deftly uses it to explore generations in flux between Istanbul and Germany. Whether running from something, or desperately seeking someone, Akin's characters never just travel, they are driven.
"The Edge Of Heaven" starts in Bremen, where retiree expat Ali (Tuncel Kurtiz) visits a Turkish prostitute, Yeter (Nursel Kose). When Yeter is threatened by Muslim fundamentalists in her neighborhood, she accepts Ali's offer to move in with him. Ali's son, a professor named Nejat (Aki Davrak), disapproves, but he becomes close to her when Ali is hospitalized. Ali senses this, and when he returns, he gets drunk and violent one night, and tragedy ensues.
In another strand, we see Yeter's estranged daughter, Ayten (Nurgul Yesilcay), who's a member of a banned Kurdish political group. When her friends are arrested, she flees to Hamburg, where she's befriended by a college student, Lotte (Patrycia Ziolkowska), who soon becomes her lover. When Ayten is deported, Lotte goes to Istanbul to find her and bumps into Nejat, who is also looking for Ayten . . .
Politics, passion, generational conflict, migration, loss and redemption . . . Akin, who also penned the script, loads his film with almost more weight than it can bear, but he touches on each subject lightly. As in "Head On," death's shadow looms over the entire film. A couple of the main characters buy it before the last reel; one dies for love, another dies from it.
"The Edge of Heaven" lives up to its title, an elegiac film that reminds us we should make peace with parents and lovers well before we get to the edge where it will be too late for regrets.

MS1018781410 JUL, 2015This was very yummy and refreshing. I think I'd double the cucumber juice volume, however.Reply
shorsechic30 JUN, 2013Great recipe. I would recommend using a blender instead of a food processor for this recipe. The food processors don't handle the liquid well. We really enjoyed it!Reply
Flo Werner4 JUN, 2013I cannot express how great this is; and not just because of the booze! The watermelon and cucumber flavors have a great affinity for each other, and I am interested in using cukes in ways other than simply pickling. This drink was incredibly refreshing on a very, very hot summer evening in New Jersey. Highly recommended!Reply

Words by Justine McNamara.
If you only learn one lesson from Days Are Gone, it's got to be this: Don't fuck with the HAIM girls. This album goes through huge emotions and takes us through some breakups and difficult situations. But the best part is, they do it without sounding miserable.
The Californian sisters have created some waves of late, and Days Are Gone really shows the hype surrounding them is justified. 'Falling', 'Forever' and 'Don't Save Me' have been out for awhile now, but the new material they've put on the album is more than enough for them to show their talent. Latest single 'The Wire' has a catchy as hell guitar riff, and a bass line that makes you think of Este's bassface while you're listening to it. It's up there as one of the early standouts of the album but it's the darkness of 'My Song 5' that really grabs my attention.
"I've been lied to, so what's the truth?" is such a powerful line. Combined with an edgy guitar riff and distorted vocals, it's one of the most strikingly different tracks on the album. I love the contrast this track provides. Even though their usually upbeat-sounding songs are done to perfection, this shows some real diversity in their style. Delving into the dark side even more, 'Go Slow' is a great track that explores a slower tempo and a stripped-back sound. "Oh I just wanna go back hold on to the way that I was/ Cuz you took away all my young life. And I hate who I've become from your heat now," are also powerful lyrics that show their songwriting maturity.
The album finishes on another powerful track with 'Let Me Go'. The harmonies and riffs on this track are engaging and somewhat haunting. It's so refreshing and satisfying to listen to a consistent album that doesn't give up towards the end, or include tracks just for the sake of it. Every single track is strong and powerful, and it makes for a very pleasurable listen. It's definitely an album that gets even better the more you listen to it, and one that you'll want to repeat over and over after your first listen.
HAIM's debut Days Are Gone really is worth what it's cracked up to be.
Rating: ★★★★☆
Here is their latest catchy-as-hell single is 'The Wire'
Followed by their long-time much loved single 'Falling'

While the Federal Reserve has given stress tests to the nation's banks since the financial crisis, the Fed chair's semi-annual testimony before both houses amounts to Congress' own version of stress testing the nation's top central banker.
But in her first of two days of appearances on Capital Hill, Fed Chair Janet Yellen's so-called Humphrey-Hawkins testimony looked more like an edition of "Dancing With The Stars" than a stress test. One of the key gauges of that is her ability to avoid roiling the financial markets which have been on a roll lately.
She publicly voiced what had been indicated in minutes of the June meeting released last week, that asset purchases are likely to end after the October Federal Open Market Committee. Yellen noted that while progress is being made to improve the economy, "the recovery is not yet complete."
Most Americans and members of the Senate Banking Committee facing her in the wood-paneled room of the Dirksen Senate Office Building would agree the economy hasn't returned to something approaching normal.
On a more positive note, she said that payroll gains have averaged 230,000 jobs per month over the past six months. But she said the economy has flashed deceiving signals before. She called them "false dawns" where the Fed has been "unfortunately optimistic."
She said the surprising decline in first-quarter gross domestic product was "mostly from transitory factors," and the housing market "has shown little recent progress."
The unemployment rate remains high and "labor force participation appears weaker than one would expect," Yellen said. " These and other indications that significant slack remains in labor markets are corroborated by the continued slow pace of growth in most measures of hourly compensation."
One of the most vocal opponents of FOMC policy, Sen. Mike Crapo, R-Idaho, urged President Obama to appoint a community banker to the Federal Reserve Board. Yellen said she supports the notion of having a colleague with community banking experience but said she'd oppose any effort to use legislation to mandate any such requirement.
Yellen has spoken increasingly about the possibility of using the Fed's tools to knock the air out of financial bubbles. Among those she's watching include low-rated corporate debt and the leveraged loan market. She said low rates can provide "dangerous" incentives for some investors to reach for yield. She said broad-based risks are not being seen and are "more isolated."
So, Yellen's latest dance with Congress appears to have gone smoothly. Corporate economist Alan MacEachin said he heard nothing new in the testimony.
One lesson we know from history: The economy will present unforeseen challenges for Yellen and her central bank colleagues. Whether they can remain poised is something history, financial markets and Americans will all judge.
In her blog, Mesirow Financial chief economist Diane Swonk said that Yellen's testimony was "clear, concise and sure to confuse Congress."

Intellectual Property
Legal Textbooks students will inevitably study Intellectual Property, and in doing so need to obtain Intellectual Property textbooks. But students of Intellectual Property often spend far too much money every semester purchasing Intellectual Property textbooks. Intellectual Property books can be very expensive when you buy new textbooks, while a rented textbook can be half the price or less. For example, a rental copy of either Modern Intellectual Property, United States Code, Title 44, Public Printing and Documents: and Miscellaneous Statutes Identifying the Authority of the Joint Committee on Printing, 1997 Edition (S. prt), or The Development Agenda: Global Intellectual Property and Developing Countries can be 75% less than what you might pay in a college bookstore.
Textbook rentals are easy (and even cheaper than buying used textbooks! And there are a number of ways to find the rentals themselves. If you wanted to rent Developing Countries in the WTO Legal System, the best way would be to find the ISBN number (in this case, ISBN9780131102897) from your Intellectual Property class guide and search for it on BookRenter.com. Whether you're studying Communications, Entertainment, or any other subject within Intellectual Property, renting textbooks is the way to go.

I couldn't agree more. I voted 1 because I want the ability to sideload apps, tho I don't think there will be much need for that as more apps get approved for the Fire. The UI is very functional as is, so no need to install Cyanogen or other mods. Loving this device.

Employers Track Social Media Usage Of Potential Employees
In the offices of the Language Access Network, the focus is on communication.
The video remote interpreting company uses a device known as MARTI. It's not just a catchy name but an acronym for My Accessible Real Time Trusted Interpreter
"A caregiver or doctor uses this device to access interpreters remotely from the video platform we have on this," said Andrew Panos, Language Access Network Chief Operating Officer.
Panos said more than 300 hospitals nationwide, including in Central Ohio, use MARTI to break language barriers between doctor and patient.
Employees at Language Access Network must have excellent language skills, comfort with diverse cultures, and their social media use should not raise any red flags.
"We certainly want to be sure there isn't anything that's offensive, that really would be difficult to have them in our culture," said Panos.
Panos says they turned to social media in their hiring process five years ago.
Human resources experts say job seekers should expect that whatever they post online, tweet on Twitter, or Like on Facebook is all up for scrutiny.
Experts say it doesn't matter what it is about, it's no different than standing in the corner and shouting it to everyone.
"There's so much competition, you want to do everything to come across as the most professional," said Carole Robinson.
Robinson, who runs her own project management firm, says job seekers should never assume your posts or page is private.
"Even if you have it private, it doesn't mean someone's not going to take your information or repost and share it with another group," added Robinson.
More than 40 percent of hiring managers in a recent Career Builder survey say they're using social media to research candidates and cutting them from consideration, depending on what they discover.
Inappropriate or provocative pictures sink applicants. That includes sharing information about drinking or drug use, and it never helps to bad mouth a former employer
Competition for work is fierce at all levels, and your post or status update could knock you from getting an interview.
"If you're looking at two people with identical skills, with identical backgrounds and you've got one pictured on the curb passed out - who are you going to pick?" said Robinson.

The Rays just got through with their second workout of the spring.
There was one slight setback as RHP Jeremy Hellickson, who is expected to replace RHP Matt Garza in the rotation, felt tightness in his right hamstring during stretching but threw his bullpen session with no issues.
"I just didn't stretch it good enough,'' Hellickson said. "I threw a bullpen and everything felt fine. ... I'm fine it just tightened up.''
3B Evan Longoria and 2B Sean Rodriguez were among the position players who reported early, and Longoria said he was optimistic about the season despite all the changes.
"I'm excited, I think we all are,'' he said. Longoria said he was "a little" surprised to see the Rays trade SS Jason Bartlett and RHP Matt Garza but expected the free-agent losses. He still feels the Rays have a chance to win again.
Longoria said he "had a good time" working out with Manny Ramirez this off-season and, he deflected back the compliments Ramirez paid him: "Manny's the man.''
Longoria said he would like Ramirez to hit behind him, but knew manager Joe Maddon would put a lot of thought into the lineup. Longoria said he plans to follow Ramirez around and learn what he can from him about hitting.
Longoria added about 10 pounds - up to 225 - because he felt he lost too much weight last season.
