Chairman Connolly Receives Trail Champion Award
Dec. 22, 2008
News Highlights
- Award presented by the Potomac Heritage Trail Association.
- Connolly cited for "dedication, support and enthusiasm for trails throughout his career."
- Connolly championed the National Scenic Trail and the Cross County Trail.
More Information
The Potomac Heritage Trail Association presented Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Gerald E. Connolly with its inaugural Trail Champion Award during a ceremony at the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club in Vienna on Saturday, Dec. 20.The trail association presents annual awards to individuals, volunteer groups and government agencies whose work has been instrumental in fulfilling the vision for connecting the more than 830 miles of existing and planned trails that have been recognized as segments of the National Scenic Trail.
"Chairman Connolly's dedication, support and enthusiasm for trails throughout his career has been extraordinary and unmatched in our area," said Bill Niedringhaus, president of the Potomac Heritage Trail Association. "He has led the charge for the best and most scenic solutions for the National Scenic Trail, even in the face of stiff objections." The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail was designated a unit of the National Park System by an act of Congress in 1983.
The Potomac Heritage Trail Association is a partnership to develop a network of locally managed trails in a corridor between the mouth of the Potomac River and the Allegheny Highlands, touching Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and the District of Columbia.Key connections of the trail that were recently completed through Fairfax County include stretches along the Pohick Bay, across the property of Fairfax County's Noman M. Cole Jr. Pollution Control Plant and another segment in Great Falls. The Fairfax County Park Authority was instrumental in the effort to connect the trail in the county.
"Chairman Connolly has set ambitious goals for Fairfax County in terms of new off-road trail mileage and new parkland acreage and taken steps to achieve them," Niedringhaus said. "There would not be a Cross County Trail in Fairfax County were it not for Chairman Connolly's efforts."
The Cross County Trail was a 10-year effort spearheaded by Connolly, Niedringhaus and other trail enthusiasts to create a seamless 40-mile connection from one end of the county to the other for walking, hiking or bicycling. It was completed in the spring of 2006.

"It may be, Ananda, that to some among you the thought will come: 'Ended is the word of the Master; we have a Master no longer.'
But it should not, Ananda, be so considered.
For that which I have proclaimed and made known as the Dhamma and the Discipline, that shall be your Master when I am gone.

The Hebrew School
As we have already described, the Hebrew co-educational elementary school was founded during the German occupation at the end of the First World War with the assets of the Tsairei Tsion without almost any outside help.
[p. 155]
A few 'evenings' were organized for the benefit of the planned school. Comrades contributed their last penny to the cause and all this was used to repair an abandoned apartment where the school could be set up, relates Ephraim Ben Ephraim (Efrimzon). This is how we acquired desks and tools. We had no teaching experience but we were determined to carry out the work. The shtetl was impoverished because of the war but our young teachers approached this task as divine service and spared no efforts to perfect themselves.
in the Yiddish elementary school
Orthodox circles incited against us saying that we 'heretics' led the children off the Jewish way and that parents should not send their children to our school. But many cheders were closed so the children transferred to our school and we soon had 300 pupils. The Yiddishist circles also plotted against us. But we were not scared and we soon introduced a tuition fee to ensure at least the survival of the institution, and to avoid begging. Thus already in the first one and a half years, we had an income amounting to 30 to 40 percent of our budget.
We lived through a horrible time when the town was occupied by the Red Army in the summer of 1920 and the Bolsheviks started to uproot the national Hebrew education completely. But we resisted by all means at our disposal. When the Poles returned to the town, they set upon our school and tried to discover some shortcomings, which would allow them to get rid of it and have the Jewish children transfer into the Polish state school. We had to start fighting again but in the end we won and managed to legalize our school as well.
The senior class graduated in 1922 and we also opened a Hebrew high school. Our enthusiastic supporter and Hebrew educational activist, Avrom Yehuda Eynshteyn, harnessed himself and tracked down and brought us graduate teachers all the way from Galicia.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Heineken USA announced that it has brought Indio, a dark beer that has been sold in Mexico since 1893 to the United States. The beer is now available in 6-pack and 12-packs at locations throughout Chicago,Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio.
"Not only does the launch of Indio in the U.S. strengthen Heineken USA's portfolio and strategic innovation platform, but it supports our ambition of becoming the leading beer company in the U.S.," said Felix Palau, VP marketing for Indio. "Market segmentation continues to have a major impact on the industry and Indio will use this trend to create a very specific campaign that speaks directly to the niche audiences' interests and passions in life."

Click here, or on the image above, for a brief clip from Get Yourself A College Girl.
And while we're on the subject of 60s California pop, here's a truly amazing film which has just been released on archival DVD — no masterpiece, this, but a wildly disparate cast in a completely nonsensical plot — featuring a truly amazing group of recording artists of the period, all shot in 6 days in glorious Metrocolor.
Get Yourself A College Girl was produced by the legendary "speed artist" Sam Katzman, who had an iron clad rule that no film he produced would take longer than six days to get in the can — until he lengthened his schedules in the late 60s to a lavish 15 days for some of Elvis Presley's later films — and directed by former child actor Sidney Miller, whose other credits include directing episodes of Get Smart, The Addams Family, The Smothers Brothers Show, My Favorite Martian and even The Mickey Mouse Club.
Mixed into this cinematic stew are Nancy Sinatra, Chad Everett, Hortense Petra (Katzman's wife, a "good luck" charm in all of his later films), plus musical guests The Standells, The Animals, The Dave Clark Five, jazz organist Jimmy Smith, jazz sax player Stan Getz with vocalist Astrud Gilberto, and a whole lot more, none of it making any sense at all, but featuring that slick, candy-colored sheen that typified California pop music of the era.
As critic Mel Neuhaus noted on the TCM Website, "A curious 1964 hybrid of teen movie musical with pre-feminist overtones as well as a parody of moralistic anti-rock message films, Get Yourself a College Girl is a must-see due to its strange guest-star cast, who help elevate the formula narrative into a near-surreal '60s happening. The basic plot follows Mary Ann Mobley's transition from songwriter to a controversial figure in the music industry who's wooed by a song publisher (Chad Everett) and a politician seeking the youth vote [. . .]
The choice of music guest stars is one of the most freakish conglomerations in any movie musical. Let's face it – any picture featuring rockers The Dave Clark 5 (Thinking of You Baby, Whenever You're Around), The Animals (Blue Feeling, Around and Around), and The Standells (Bony Moronie, The Swim) alongside the Jimmy Smith Trio (The Sermon, Comin' Home Johnny), plus jazz greats Stan Getz and velvet-throated vocalist Astrud Gilberto (doing their cornerstone of '60s cool, The Girl from Ipanema) has got to be seen (and heard) to be believed."
It's a fascinating time capsule of a time long vanished, and worth savoring for the sheer explosion of musical talent on the screen. And, of course, everyone looks like they're having a lot of fun.

Dear members,
Have you ever read the story about Maha-Brahma superdeva named "Sanankumara"?
Sanankumara: Forever Young [ http://www.wisdomlib.org]
A Maha Brahma-deva. In the Nikayas he is mentioned as the author of a famous verse, there quoted:
Khattiyo settho jane tasmim ye gottapatisarino Vijjacaranasampanno so settho devamanuse.
In one place the verse is attributed to the Buddha, thus endowing it with the authoritativeness of a pronouncement by the Buddha himself. Sanankumara is represented as a very devout follower of the Buddha.
In a sutta of the Samyutta, he is spoken of as visiting the Buddha on the banks of the Sappini, and it was during this visit that the above verse was spoken. Sanankumara was present at the preaching of the Mahasamaya Sutta.
In the Janavasabha Sutta, Janavasabha describes to the Buddha an occasion on which Sanankumara attended an assembly of the Devas, presided over by Sakka and the Four Regent Gods. There was suddenly a vast radiance, and the devas knew of the approach of Sanankumara. As the usual appearance of the Brahma is not sufficiently materialized for him to be perceived by the Devas of Tavatimsa, he is forced to appear as a relatively gross personality which he specially creates. As he arrives, the Devas sit in their places with clasped hands waiting for him to choose his seat. Then Sanankumara takes on the form of Pancasikha (because all devas like Pancasikha, says the Commentary, DA.ii.640) and sits, above the assembly, cross legged, in the air. So seated, he expresses his satisfaction that Sakka and all the Tavatimsa Devas should honour and follow the Buddha. His voice has all the eight characteristics of a Brahmas voice. (These are given at D.ii.211). He then proceeds to create thirty three shaper, of himself, each sitting on the divan of a Tavatimsa Deva, and addresses the Devas, speaking of the advantages of taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha.
Each deva fancies that only the shape sitting on his own divan has spoken and that the others are silent. Then Sanankumara goes to the end of the Hall, and, seated on Sakkas throne, addresses the whole assembly on the four ways of iddhi; on the three avenues leading to Bliss, as manifested by the Buddha; on the four satipatthanas, and the seven samadhiparikkhara. He declares that more than twenty four lakhs of Magadha disciples, having followed the teachings of the Buddha, have been born in the deva worlds. When Sanankumara has finished his address, Vessavana wonders if there have been Buddhas in the past and will be in the future. The Brahma reads his thoughts and says there certainly were and will be.
Sanankumara means forever young. Buddhaghosa says that, in his former birth, he practised jhanas while yet a boy with his hair tied in five knots (pancaculakakumarakale), and was reborn in the Brahma world with the thana intact.
Love Buddha's dhamma,

Warm growing weather has brought on a surge of broccoli and cauliflower volumes and a corresponding slump in markets, but shippers say that could change quickly with cooler weather and holiday demand.
Broccoli and cauliflower crops were running a week to two weeks ahead of schedule in early December because of abnormally warm growing weather, said Steve Church, chief executive officer of Church Bros. LLC, Salinas, Calif.
"Coming into (Thanksgiving), we had good demand and normal supplies of broccoli," Church said. "Now we have more than normal supplies."
Cauliflower supplies, meanwhile, were lower than usual at the end of November but were picking back up in early December, Church said.
So much so, that by the weeks of Dec. 10 and Dec. 17, Church's cauliflower supplies will likely be 175% of normal, said Jeff Crook, a salesman for the company.
"It's been Chamber of Commerce growing weather," he said.
Movement was sluggish on both broccoli and cauliflower the week of Dec. 3 because of the unexpectedly heavy volumes, said John Chobanian, broccoli commodity manager for Castroville, Calif.-based Ocean Mist Farms.
"The market's very depressed right now," he said.
But that could change as early as the week of Dec. 10, as holiday demand kicks in, Chobanian said.
"We expect it to change with the Christmas pull."
On Dec. 4, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported prices of $6-6.50 for cartons of bunched 14s broccoli from California, down from $10 last year at the same time.
Cartons of film-wrapped white 12s cauliflower were $12.50-13.50, down from $13-$14.55 last year.
Volumes will likely to return to more normal levels about the week of Dec. 17, Chobanian said.
Weaker demand, combined with the higher volumes, were combining to depress markets in early December, said Jacob Abramson, broccoli, lettuce and leaf product manager for Salinas-based Markon Cooperative.
But that could change very quickly, he said. Cooler temperatures were forecast for the desert early the week of Dec. 10, and if there's a hard cold snap, combined with Christmas demand, markets should strengthen quickly.
"It could be a real tight market," he said.
A cold snap could also lead to a "pretty big" supply gap in the coming weeks, Abramson said.
With broccoli and cauliflower volumes so high in early December, Crook agreed that it was likely to be followed by gap — possibly in early January, though Mother Nature will have the final say on that, Church said.
The week of Dec. 3, Crook said demand was strong on broccoli, "just ok" on cauliflower.
"I'm a little concerned" about the large cauliflower volumes in the first half of the month, Crook said.
That said, broccoli and cauliflower traditionally do well in the run-up to the holidays, Crook said. Even though Church Bros. does not ship product for party trays, that demand tends to lift all boats.
"There's a huge uptick in heads consumed for the holidays," he said.

If the town could swing it, local high school student Jehan Godrej would like Los Altos Hills to build public tennis courts.
"Since LAH is such a wonderful town, we should have more public facilities," said Godrej, a Los Altos High School sophomore who aspires to play tennis professionally. "It would be nice to have something in the Hills that's not private or a country club."
Godrej, who said his drive to see more local youth play tennis inspired the request, approached City Clerk Deborah Padovan and scheduled a PowerPoint presentation during the Jan. 24 Los Altos Hills City Council meeting to outline his proposal. Like any member of the community, he was allocated two minutes to address the council.
Godrej argued that an affluent town like Los Altos Hills should be able to provide lighted tennis courts as a public amenity for residents. The town's only public tennis courts are at Foothill College, where he explained that parking fees, lack of lights and traffic on and around campus make the facility challenging to access. Residential tennis courts and country clubs meet some of the demand, he noted, but they come with steep price tags.
Godrej, whose parents cited the cost and an environmental easement on their property as reasons they couldn't build a tennis court at their home, takes lessons at Stanford University and Fremont Hills Country Club. The latter is an invitation-only club in Los Altos Hills with 10 courts. Godrej added that many of his friends and other local youth are unable to afford to play where he does.
A community survey conducted by the town's Parks and Recreation Committee in 2006-2007 revealed that 4 percent of respondents were interested in the construction of tennis courts. A community park, a soccer field and aquatic facilities received significantly more support.
Although he did not receive an immediate response from the council regarding his proposal, Godrej remains undeterred. He insisted that there is a demand for public tennis courts and that they could lead to a resident's turning pro in the sport – just as former Los Altos Hills resident Nick Saviano did. Godrej cited Saviano, who ranked among the top 50 pro players worldwide for nine years, as a role model for local youth.
Godrej plans to volunteer with the Parks and Recreation Committee and hopes to encourage more people to explore the sport he loves.
"It's a very intricate sport," he said. "While it seems really easy when you first pick up a racket and hit the ball, it gets more intricate and complicated as you go along."

Some Philly coffee drinkers are in for a surprise
On Wednesday afternoon at the Clay Studio in Philadelphia's Old City, seven large folding tables were crammed with 500 hand-made coffee mugs.
On Thursday morning, each will be put into the hand of an unsuspecting Philadelphia pedestrian, at five undisclosed locations in Center City.
The mugs represent an array of ceramic techniques, shapes, textures, and decorative whimsy. There are bulbous salt-fired cups; red-clay demitasse with subtle gradations of white slip glaze; and big, chunky mugs with cartoon characters scratched into the finish.
All of them were crafted with patience and intention.
"Hand-made objects really enrich individual's lives. They carry the spirit of the maker," said Jeff Guido, artistic director of the Clay Studio. "I don't know if that is terminology that most people would readily embrace, or understand, or believe."
Guido does not really know how everyday people will feel when they hold a hand-made mug in their hands, warmed by coffee. That's why he launched the "Guerrilla Mug Assault." For three hours on Thursday morning, volunteers in Center City will approach people drinking from paper cups and offer each an artisanal cup.
It's a gift to take, and to use. And then report back.
Each cup has an email address written on a tag, and the new owners are encouraged to send comments and photos about their relationship with their newly adopted dishware. Those comments will be added to the Clay Studio's blog.
"It's an intimate act to drink out of a mug, if you really think about it," said Guido. "These hand-made objects — they truly do add to that experience."
The mugs are crafted by the eye and hand of fine artists to serve a functional purpose: deliver hot liquid to your mouth. Learning from the end user how each objet d'art is used is critical.
"If you're a potter and you're not talking to people using them, your not getting the right information," said ceramist Daniel Ricardo Teran. "How does this feel in your hand? How does a person hold it? How does a man hold it, as opposed to a woman? Because those things matter when you're making pots."
Holding patterns
Men and women tend to hold their cups differently, according to Teran. A man might grip the handle with three or four fingers, and sip with his elbow jutting out. A woman might hold a cup with just two fingers while cradling the vessel with the other hand, holding it close to her chest.
Or, maybe not. The blog will tell.
These questions, and the bigger question about the relevance of hand-made objects in a disposable manufacturing economy, are interesting to the Knight Foundation, whose Knight Art Challenge funded the Mug Assault with a $15,000 matching grant.

January was a somewhat dull month. On this last day of the month, the avgerage temperature at the Lexington official reporting station is 35.6F so far, which is a couple of degrees warmer than where we should be. Rainfall is 4.39" for the month, which is above average. Snowfall is only 0.5" which is well below average. So it looks like January is going to go down as a mild and wet month.

First-year manager Weiss expects to have 'butterflies'
MILWAUKEE -- Walt Weiss says he slept well Sunday night. He needed the rest.
Last year's head coach at Regis Jesuit High School is a first-year manager with the Rockies this year. While Weiss admitted things were moving fast Monday morning, he kept it in perspective.
"Managing is going to be tough because I've never done it before, but I still believe the challenge is tougher as a player," Weiss said. "As a player, the challenges are physical and mental. The manager, it's just mental. But in the end it's competition, and competition should bring out some emotion in you. I'm sure I'll have butterflies and I'll be excited."
Weiss wrote out many lineups before Spring Training and experimented throughout camp, but in the end, he came up with the lineup that was expected. There will be some play within the lineup; it's something he learned from his mentor, Tony La Russa (who called him to wish him luck). On Monday against the Brewers, Michael Cuddyer batted fifth, followed by Todd Helton and Wilin Rosario. That could change, especially if Rosario keeps up the power he displayed while hitting 28 home runs last season.
Two of this year's biggest challenges will be managing the playing time of Helton, 39, who's in the last year of his contract and likely the final year of his career, and shortstop and cleanup man Troy Tulowitzki, who played only 47 games last year due to a left groin injury that required surgery, but is considered by many to be the game's best two-way player at his position when healthy.
Weiss is the sixth manager in Rockies history and is the first former Colorado player to manage the club.

I'm not sure what I like best about this salad – the taste or the presentation! This makes a great dish for a light lunch or a special brunch, served in colorful radicchio "bowls." The combination of textures (think soft, chewy barley combined and the crunch of the cucumber) and flavors (the sharpness of the radicchio with the smoothness of the avocado and the citrus flavors) are perfect partners!
This recipe is easy, pretty and delicious!
Barley Salad in Radicchio Bowls with Champagne-Orange Vinaigrette
Serves 4-6
- 1 cup Bob's Red Mill Pearl Barley, cooked according to package directions, then chilled
- 1 head Radicchio, gently separated to use whole leaves as individual serving "bowls" (wash and dry them thoroughly)
- 1 Cucumber, seeded and diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1-2 Avocados, diced into 1/4-inch pieces
- 1-2 Oranges peeled with pith removed, and sectioned
- 3 Tbsp Parsley, torn or cut into small pieces
For the dressing:
- 1/4 cup Orange Juice
- 1/4 cup Champagne Vinaigrette
- 1/3 cup Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 tsp Honey
- 1/2 tsp Salt, or to taste
- 1/8 tsp Black Pepper, or to taste
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk together until smooth. Taste and adjust the ingredients slightly, to taste. Chill until ready to use.
After you've cooked the barley (it takes between 50-60 minutes to cook), chill it until it's cool.
Mix the diced cucumber and parsley into the barley. Gently fold in the orange sections and avocado. Add the Champagne-orange dressing, a few tablespoons at a time, and gently toss until all the ingredients are lightly coated.
Scoop the mixture into individual radicchio "bowls" and serve on individual place settings.

"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I don't blame Zeller at all for coming out early and maximizing that payday. It's the right decision every time without the benefit of retrospect. But damn, did that kid need another year or two of college ball to be pro-ready. And probably with someone besides Crean...
Is Crean gone? No? Bye then.
Any early thoughts on what to expect from IU football this year? I have to think there is no way in hell the defense can be any worse, but I thought that heading into 2013 and voila! At least Mallory is gone.
I expect a dynamic offense again. Just wonder how many PPG they'll have to score to win. I'll miss watching Cody Latimer play, but if there is one positive consistency for the IU football program, it's WR play. They're always deep and always have guys who can step up.
I think the defense will improve from being around the 120th best (i.e., one of the worst) defenses in college football to being somewhere in the 70s-80s range. The switch to the 3-4 will be an adjustment, but we have more talent on that side of the ball and are more experienced. Oh yeah, the Mallory poltergeist has departed.
I think the offense will be, well, like it has been, maybe even better. Tevin Coleman is a legit threat as a running back and Sudfeld/Roberson will only get better now with two years of experience under both of them. I hope they stay healthy so we can redshirt this QB we signed from California (Alexander Diamont). The receiving corps won't be as strong, but I'm not overly concerned about that.
The schedule is tougher, but that is to be expected after we lined everything up for a bowl appearance last year only to watch Mallory let opposing offenses set school records on us each week.
vs Indiana State (Should be a fairly easy win)
at Bowling Green (We handled them last year, but they were still a damn solid football team. Lost their HC to Wake though. I'll call it a win.)
at Missouri (Loss)
vs Maryland (Welcome to the Big Ten Maryland!! Here's the conference's worst program in history so you guys can feel good about yourselves! 50/50)
vs North Texas (Should be a win)
at Iowa (Most likely a loss, but a winnable game. Iowa never really scares me all that much.)
vs Michigan State (Almost certainly a loss)
at Michigan (Probably a loss, but I think it's a winnable game.)
vs Penn State (50/50. Beat them last year, but I think James Franklin>Bill O'Brien; at least in the college game.)
at Rutgers (50/50. Leaning towards a loss.)
at Ohio State (*** pounding.)
vs Purdue (Probably a win, unless they show serious, serious signs of growth in Year 2 of the Hazell regime)
So I think we will be right in bowl contention this season. I could see anywhere from 4-8 wins, although I expect us to fall right in the middle of that at 6-6.
Tom Crean on the Seth Davis show will be on demand later.
"The coach has to do better at getting him the ball" Speaking on Vonleh
Tom knows he's the coach right?
lol yes.
http://campusinsiders.com/videos/BrO...OzIIyNXrSNi-gI link to the show
Was a really good listen. Said he probably wouldn't have taken the job if he knew how bad the academics were before he got here. Some great wisdom in there.
Really am excited to see what Tevin Coleman can do this year. Most IU RBs I've seen have either been "gimmicky" (Marcus Thigpen) or moreso a product of the overall offense than an individual talent (Stephen Houston). Coleman is, IMO, the rare IU RB who would be terrific no matter which offense he was in. Love the kid's vision and burst. Not so much straight-line 40 speed as an ability to shift gears quickly and hit his top-end speed by the time he hits second level. Give him a crease, and it's over with. Still needs to develop as a receiver, though not bad there, but I can absolutely see Coleman in the NFL. And I don't really say that about IU RBs.
I'm seriously not trying to be a dick, ok, maybe a little, I just can't believe it's February and you guys are talking IU football.
You've seen our basketball team, right?
Frankly im shocked theres not more Baseball or Soccer discussion
IU baseball now 2-5 after getting dominated again today. It took them 30 games to reach 5 losses last season.
looks like they won't be repeating the success of last season this time around. unfortunately, iu athletics has been crap all over this year. football,soccer,basketball and now baseball isn't looking too encouraging either.
So you get a DWI and only get suspended two games? That's pretty ****ing weak.
29-19 lead at halftime in the Kohl Center against a red hot Badger team. umwut
Of course we collapsed.
The better team, fueled by its home crowd, asserted itself at halftime and controlled the rest of the game.
Nothing to see here.
You guys know the baseball season hasn't actually started yet right?
If IU wins the next 3 home games against Iowa, OSU, and Neb, can they make the tourney?
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Maybe. But I just don't see it happening. This team is so wildly inconsistent.
How the hell do you give up 50 points in a half to a bo ryan team

Considering Wis. averages 73pts per game this year, I'd say pretty easily. They've been held under 50 once this season, and that was against the best defensive team in the nation.

Budget of the EU
The annual EU budget is one of the three components of the EU budgetary system. The other two are:
The annual budget lays down all the European Union's expenditure and revenue for one year. It ensures the financing of EU programmes and actions in all EU policy areas, for example, agriculture, research, regional policy, and other.
The annual budget also ensures that the EU receives the revenue necessary to finance its expenditure. The annual EU budget - expenditure and revenue - must be in balance.
Expenditure in the annual EU budget is divided into commitments and payments.
Commitments (the full term is 'commitment appropriations') cover the total cost of legal obligations that could be signed in a given financial year. Legal obligations can be contracts, grant agreements and decisions.
Payments (the full term is 'payment appropriations') cover expenditure due in the current year, arising from legal commitments entered into in the current year and/or earlier years.
The amounts of commitments and payments usually differ for multiannual projects, for example the building of a bridge. The commitment appropriations in such a case would be made in one year, and the payment appropriations would be divided into smaller amounts to be paid over several years.
Commitments and payments are identical for expenditure which must be made in the same year, for instance, direct financial support to farmers.
The amount committed but not yet paid out to beneficiaries is called 'outstanding commitments' or 'RAL', which is an acronym for 'reste à liquider' in French.
The expenditure side of the annual EU budget has to remain within the expenditure limits ('ceilings') set in the multiannual financial framework. The EU usually sets its annual budget at a lower level than the expenditure ceilings established in the MFF regulation - to be able to meet unforeseen expenditure, if necessary.
The annual budget also indicates the sources of revenue. Currently, these are:
- traditional own resources, which are mainly customs duties and sugar levies
- the own resource based on value added tax (VAT)
- the own resource based on gross national income (GNI), which covers expenditure that is not financed by the other types of revenue
- other sources of revenue, such as taxes on EU staff salaries, contributions from non-EU countries to certain programmes, and fines
Revenue from own resources has to remain within the limit ('ceiling') set by the rules on own resources.
Budget of the Council of the EU and the European Council
The EU annual budget contains a specific section (Section II) dedicated for the shared budget of the Council of the EU and the European Council.
The Council and the European Council budget is managed by the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU.
Role of the Council
The Council of the EU:
- adopts the annual EU budget together with the European Parliament according to a special legislative procedure, on the basis of a proposal by the Commission
- can amend the adopted annual budget, together with the European Parliament, on the basis of a proposal by the Commission
- makes a recommendation to the European Parliament on whether discharge should be granted to the Commission in respect of the implementation of the annual EU budget.

An Opportunity in Crisis
When faced with a binary event such as the fiscal cliff, discretion is often the better part of valor. There is no need to gamble on an unpredictable outcome. In a world where the market could crash or skyrocket on a moment's notice, based on either a potential resolution or failure to find common ground, it makes little sense to commit too heavily to either the long or short side while awaiting an outcome.
Instead, the safer trade might be to assume that whatever the result of the negotiations in Washington, markets will overreact. Even if a deal is reached and the fiscal cliff is averted, it is unlikely that the root causes that led us to the cliff will be addressed. On the other hand, if a resolution can't be reached, that's bad news, but it doesn't mean that all efforts to correct the problem will terminate at that point. The initial reaction will likely be one of great relief or despair, followed by the realization that the result is inconclusive....360 more words left in this article.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla - Did you know that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of all Americans? In fact, someone dies from cardiovascular disease every 39 seconds. Sometimes, a little knowledge can go a long way in preventing it, and could save your life.
That's why Channel 4 is partnering with the American Heart Association to bring you the HeartChat during the 5 to 7 p.m. newscasts on Thursday.
Doctors from the Mayo Clinic and Florida Blue will join us on set and will answer your questions through our website, Twitter and Facebook. During this chat you will have the chance to ask questions regarding your heart health.
"We know that social media is an important part of how people communicate. Education and prevention are vital to our mission to build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke," Katie Seay, communications director of the Jacksonville Chapter of the American Heart Association said.
We will also be interviewing the doctors about different, specific heart health related issues like warning signs, new technologies, and how you can prevent heart disease during our newscast.
"In 2011, more than 3,000 First Coast residents, or 3,000 friends, family members and neighbors died due to heart disease and/or stroke. How many of the 3,000 deaths could have been prevented if the victim or a concerned partner was armed with the necessary knowledge to save their life?" Seay said. "Prevention and education are must haves in order to end these senseless deaths. We are here as a valuable resource and trusted partner as people work through their cardiovascular disease or stroke diagnosis."
If you want to participate in our HeartChat, you can do so in one of three ways: We will have a link to the online chat on our homepage, you can tweet your questions using #Talking4Heart, or you can post your questions to Channel 4's Facebook wall. You can also post questions to the American Heart Association's Facebook page.
Stay tuned. Once the chat page is live, you will be able to sign up for an email reminder to participate in the online chat. We'll share that link on our social media pages when it's live.

I found the opposite...That is wasn't as fast as those discs but glided better (which is why it's not great in the wind). I never thought Orcs glided much, which is why they so overstable when underpowered yet understable over a certain speed. I feel similar about the old mold Beast, though I think it glides a touch more.

Solar flares ate my GPS
Worse to come in 2011?
Posted in Science, 5th April 2007 09:33 GMT
Did you get lost while out driving in December? If you did, blame the solar flare that zapped signals sent out by the GPS satellite network to keep travellers travelling in the right direction.
According to researchers at New York's Cornell University, two major solar flares observed on 5 and 6 December emitted blasts of radio noise that were ten times more intense than than the worst burst then on record, Reuters reports.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology measured the radio activity and found the flares generated 20,000 times more noise than that emitted by the rest of the sun's surface.
When the radio waves reached the Earth they disrupted connections between GPS satellites and receivers.
Details of the GPS-busting event were revealed at the Space Weather Enterprise Forum conference currently being held in Washington.
The concern is the timing of the event. December's radio blasts took place during one of the sun's regular, 11-year quiet times. Equally, the sun experiences peaks of solar flare and sunspot activity during the so-called 'solar maxima', which likewise occur every 11 years.
The next minimum is due mid-2007, after which solar activity will rise before reaching the next maximum in 2011.

"Nightsisters," all-new episode debuts this Friday in an all-new time slot...
Asajj Ventress returns to Dathomir, a place she once called home, in Nightsisters"

Troubled by Asajj Ventress' growing prowess with the dark side of the Force, Darth Sidious commands Count Dooku to eliminate her. But Ventress survives Dookus assassination attempt, and the jilted former apprentice vows to take revenge, enlisting the aid of her kinswomen - the mystical Nightsisters of Dathomir - in her sinister scheme. Evil clashes with evil and sparks fly - igniting the fuse for the launch of the explosive second half of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season Three. Darkness falls and the end begins with "Nightsisters," an all-new episode debuting at an ALL-NEW TIME - 8:30 p.m. ET/PT Friday, January 7 on Cartoon Network.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfTYKazqZJI"]CLONE WARS[/ame]
The first of a three-part story arc, "Nightsisters" pulls back the curtain to reveal bitter rivalries, seething resentments, shattered alliances and more - including the revelation of a dark sorcery as mystical and powerful as the Force itself. Wielded by the witches of far-off Dathomir, this sinister magic poses a threat to both the Jedi and the Sith, and a challenge to the delicate balance of the Force.
"We've still only seen a small sliver of what's possible," says Dave Filoni, supervising director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. "Not only are we seeing stories from different points of view, but we are constantly learning about new perspectives that shift the paradigm entirely."
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nNdaeMj6L4g"]CLONE WARS[/ame]
One of those new perspectives comes from Ventress herself. Previously represented primarily as Dooku's grim shadow and an agent of evil, her secret history is revealed when she is forced to re-examine her allegiances. The hunter becomes the hunted, but she is quick to demonstrate that she is no ordinary prey. She strikes back with a vengeance, returning to the offensive as she responds to the insult and injury of her former masters betrayal.
"Things are changing in The Clone Wars - permanent changes that will affect the whole Star Wars universe," says Filoni. "We are about to start seeing some significant shifts, starting with the power structure of the Separatists and the Sith. We're shaking things up for them, and you'll see that our bad guys are going to react strongly to that. They don't take it too well. What we're seeing is the start of a chain reaction. Things are really about to pick up - and this is just the beginning."

ALBANY -- Empire State Develop ment's Board of Directors has approved funding totaling $24,928,640, including money for two Capital Region projects.
The board approved a $1 million Regional Council Capital Fund grant for The Research Foundation for The State University of New York. The project includes the establishment of the Biotechnology Training Program at University of Albany's East Campus in Rensselaer.
The program will develop a pipeline of trained individuals with technical competences and certifications in the operation of sophisticated calibration equipment used by biotech and other technology-oriented companies.
The grant will be used to purchase state-of-the-art equipment and machinery, with all equipment to be rolled-out by June to engage and inform biotechnology companies and research institutions throughout the region and statewide. Training will begin in the fall semester. Last year, the Capital Region Economic Development Council identified this as a priority project.
The board also approved an Innovation Economy Matching Grant totaling $997,688 for the GE Global Research Center in Schenectady County.
GE Global Research is working to develop a new high-density energy storage system that combines the best properties of a fuel cell and a flow battery. The project includes research at the General Electric led Department of Energy Center for Electrocatalysis, Transport Phenomena, and Materials for Innovative Energy Storage to establish the scientific basis to enable a safe and practical electrical energy storage and delivery system using the electro(de)hydrogenation of organic liquid carriers. The concept will reduce system weight, volume and complexity and will be significantly safer because it will not involve any gaseous hydrogen at any stage.
GE will use the grant to offset project costs incurred to execute the project. The main objective of the research and work is to evaluate the use of organic compounds with the heteroatom-hydrogen bond in the proposed fuel cell/flow batter combination for electrochemical energy storage. Total cost of this project is $13,477,688.

Co-pilot lands plane at PDX after pilot loses consciousness
PORTLAND, Ore. - An Alaska Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Portland on Thursday night after the pilot apparently suffered food poisoning or had the flu and briefly lost consciousness.
Passengers on board Alaska flight 473 said the pilot regained consciousness before the plane landed, although by that point the first officer had taken over control of the plane.
The pilot "came out of the cockpit and collapsed on the aisle. He hit his head on something," said passenger Hylan Slobodkin. "Fortunately a young woman who was a 4th year medical student ran to his aid."
"The flight attendant was going up and down the aisle saying 'are there any paramedics, doctors, nurses - someone who can come help?'" said Rita Slobodkin.
Spokeswoman Bobbi Egan with Alaska Airlines said the pilot suffered from either food poisoning or the flu.
The co-pilot landed safely and the pilot was taken to the hospital, according to Steve Johnson with the Port of Portland.
Egan said his condition on Friday morning was "greatly improved."
Paul McElroy, another Alaska spokesman, said the jet left Los Angeles International Airport shortly after 6:30 p.m. for a flight to Seattle. The plane was a Boeing 737.
McElroy said the pilot lost consciousness "somewhere over Oregon," forcing the flight's first officer to make an emergency landing in Portland.
"They made no announcement until the end," Hylan Slobodkin said. "That's the scary part. But the plane didn't lunge and everything seemed fine so we were ok."
The pilot has been flying for Alaska for 28 years and the first officer for 11 years, McElroy said.
There were 116 passengers and five crew members onboard the plane. Some of the passengers were booked on a Horizon shuttle bound for Sea-Tac. It left at 9:30 p.m.
A flight crew is being flown in to PDX, and the remaining passengers were flown on the same plane.
"I'm really glad to be on planet Earth and have my feet on the ground," said Rita Slobodkin when she arrived in Seattle.
McElroy said the pilot has been flying for Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc. for 28 years and was current on his six-month medical evaluation. The co-pilot is an 11-year Alaska Air veteran.
On Jan. 22, the co-pilot on an Alaska Airlines flight from Seattle to Las Vegas fainted briefly, and the pilot requested emergency landing priority to get prompt medical assistance for him.
"At this point we do not believe there was a connection between the two incidents," McElroy said.
He said pilots are highly encouraged to report if they're not feeling well, but he in both of the recent cases, the "pilots felt fine when they reported for duty." Their dizziness and fainting came very suddenly, he said.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

The remains of an individual found in the ocean near Gualala have been identified as Stephen Pease, 57, of Roseville. Pease was reported missing to the Roseville Police Department Oct. 23. Their missing person's investigation determined Pease had checked out of a Fort Bragg motel on Nov. 3.
On Saturday, Nov. 23, recreational divers discovered a man's body floating near the shore near milepost marker 3.89 South Highway 1, Gualala, according to a Mendocino County Sheriff's Office press release. The divers called the MCSO.
Pease's body was recovered by a Sonoma County Sheriff helicopter, members of the South Coast Volunteer Fire Department, a California Highway Patrol officer and a California Department of Fish and Wildlife warden.
According to MCSO, the warden donned a wetsuit, swam out to Pease and pulled him to the shore. However, it was not possible for responders to carry the body up to the road because of the height and steepness of the cliff.
A Sonoma County deputy sheriff and a South Coast firefighter were lowered by the helicopter, placed the body in a litter and lifted it to an open field near the roadway.
Pease appeared to have been in the water for more than a few days and no identification was located, MCSO reports said.
A forensic autopsy conducted Tuesday, Nov. 26, on the remains revealed hip replacement implants. A check of the serial numbers confirmed Pease's identity, the press release stated.
Pease was last known to be driving a rented silver 2014 Chevrolet Captiva with Oregon license plate 500GKN. At this time, the vehicle has not been located.
The cause of Pease's death remains under investigation.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Bruce Bochy is lauded for the way he handles a bullpen, but there's little he can do right now to control the workload of his closer.
A day after throwing 26 pitches, Sergio Romo pitched the ninth inning of Mexico's 5-2 World Baseball Classic victory Friday over the United States. There was nothing wrong with his stuff; Romo set down Team USA in order on just 13 pitches to clinch a win that kept Mexico alive. But the Giants are concerned with Romo's workload.
Earlier Friday, Bochy had called Romo to see how he was holding up after a blown save against Italy. Romo's 26-pitch outing Thursday was longer than all but two of his appearances in 2012.
"He's doing fine -- he says his arm feels fine," Bochy said Friday morning. "His pride has been hurt a little bit. He's a competitor and is pitching for his country, so that bothered him."
The extensive use of Romo bothered the Giants a bit and was a topic of discussion at a morning meeting of coaches. Bochy was receiving text message updates after every pitch of Romo's WBC debut and said he would have been OK with Romo throwing four more pitches. WBC rules prohibit a relief pitcher from coming back to pitch the next day if he reaches 30 pitches in an outing.
"To be honest, yeah, I wouldn't have minded him throwing four more," Bochy said. "You go that many, you're better off with him throwing four more."
Bochy asked Romo to check with trainer Dave Groeschner before Friday night's game and said the Giants would have stepped in and called Mexico's staff if Romo reported any fatigue.
The Giants have eight players participating in the WBC, and, while they could have blocked participation before the tournament, they have little recourse now that it has started. To prepare for possibilities like Romo's long debut, the Giants spent extra time this spring preparing those who were leaving. Bochy said Romo was prepared to throw two games in a row.
Bochy knows Mexico manager Rick Renteria, the Padres bench coach, from his time in San Diego. Bochy said he wasn't worried about a manager from a rival team being reckless with one of his players.
"There's a lot at stake," he said. "They're going to do all they can not to go home. But they do care about these players. So they're somewhat in a box."
"We can control his pitches and everything, and keep things under control," Bochy said of the simulated game.
Lincecum is now scheduled to start Tuesday night's game.
Reliever Javier Lopez (bruised hand) had originally been slated to make his spring debut Friday, but the Giants' game against the Los Angeles Dodgers was canceled because of steady rain. Lopez is expected to take the mound Saturday.
"My timing was off a little bit," he said. "I was just missing out over the plate a little bit. They were all kind of small misses. (The Dodgers) capitalized, they were swinging the bat aggressively."
The second delay, lasting 26 minutes, was the strangest. After Hunter Pence's double in the bottom of the first inning, players sprinted to the dugouts to avoid a driving hailstorm. The umpires stood still for a moment, and Bochy joked that the decision to bring the tarp out was made by Buster Posey, who was digging into the batter's box when the hail started.
"Buster was the one that left," Bochy said, smiling. "He said, 'I'm done.' He didn't give them a choice."

Updated from 5:35 p.m. ET to include commentary from High Frequency Economics on the Tuesday's economic data and latest after-hours share prices. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Earnings season is finally here and it looks like the Federal Reserve-inspired momentum stocks have enjoyed of late is going to be tested. According to the latest data from Thomson Reuters, analysts are expecting a 2.3% profit decline from the S&P 500 in the third quarter, down from 8.4% year-over-year growth in earnings in the second quarter. Back in July, the consensus was calling for a 3.1% improvement in the third quarter, so expectations were coming down even as the broad market rallied in the latter part of the summer in anticipation of QE3. What's possibly more worrying is the level of warnings we've seen so far. To date, more than 20% of S&P 500 companies have pre-announced results and the vast majority of those have offered up negative outlooks. Out of 123 forecasts, 91 were warnings of shortfalls, while only 21 were giving a heads-up on better than expected results and 11 were in-line. The 4.3-to-1 ratio of negative to positive outlooks exceeds both last year's 2.7-to-1 figure and the 3.2-to-1 comparison in the second quarter. Bank of America Merrill Lynch was fairly downbeat about the third quarter in its earnings preview, noting this will be the first year-over-year decline since the third quarter of 2009 when the United States was stuck in the thick of the financial crisis and that expectations still need to come down further. "While guidance is not at extreme levels, we do expect trends to remain negative as 4Q expectations remain too high, in our view," the firm said. "Our cautious outlook on equities in the near term is based in part on continued downward revisions, in addition to risks surrounding the fiscal cliff and slowing global growth." Stagnation on the top line is part of the problem this quarter, B of A said, as corporate America has generally trimmed expenses down to the bone and demand from Europe and China has slowed. "With cost structures already lean, sales growth is increasingly important for companies' ability to grow earnings," the firm said. "Sales were flat last quarter, and this quarter analysts expect -2% YoY growth, or -1% ex. Financials. We expect the combination of lower commodity costs vs. a year ago, negative operating leverage and a deceleration in buybacks has caused Non-Financials EPS growth to decline more than sales growth."

Let's try this again:
1. Fred Jones is now the starting SG replacing Mo Pete.
2. Parker has started at the F position since game 2:
3. He is #1 at the SF position on the depth charts:
4. He is noted as a guard forward in the story from the Raptors' web site when he signed in July:
"The Toronto Raptors announced Thursday they have signed free agent guard-forward Anthony Parker to a multi-year contract. Per team policy, financial details were not disclosed.
5. Listed as a guard forward on the team roster:
6. rcarey's comments from the ABA vote thread:
I watched 3-4 of the Raptors preseason games, and here is the deal. Mo Pete is technically listed as the starter at SF and Parker at SG, but when they play it's Mo Pete who acts as the shooting guard and vice versa. Parker is the guy who is covering the opponent's SF in a lot of instances.
Remember, he's 6-6. When Freddie comes into the game as well, and they decide to keep Parker on it's Fred who goes to the 2 spot unquestionably with Parker or Mo Pete at the 3 spot. It all depends on rotations and who is in the game.
I see him as being worthy of having that GF status.
I've read as much Raptors related stuff as I care to right now. I can't find a story where Mitchell says, "Parker is our starting small forward." If all os this curcumstantial evidence is not enough, no problem. I would appriciate your vote either way and maybe feedback on what else would make a stringer case. As you can see, I tried to add some humor to my choices. My teams dominance should in no way affect your voting. ;)

That's great news, Rick!!
Very glad you were approved, Rick!
Yes, I am aware of the amount you can earn. However, I am also weary of trying to work in the first year, and triggering a review. There are work at home forums, and many disabled are members, these are the stories I hear of trying to better their situation by working small jobs, and end up loosing their disability over a few hundred per month. There are companies that will take the ticket to work, and try their hardest to get you to work more hours than allowed. Its just a mess to try and deal with.
I want to work, don't get me wrong, however, my digestive system, does not allow me to be out of the house for more than a few hours at a time. We are working on this, with some enzymes, and progress is being made!
Update: I was approved for SSDI but told that I must wait 6 months before I start getting paid. I asked the clerk about that and stated that I was under the impression for this illness that there was no waiting period and she responded that the only illness without a waiting period was A.L.S.
Can any of you share your experience? Was there a waiting period? If not, do you know how you managed to avoid the waiting period and what the policy that was used was?
This is a bit of a bummer for me. I was hoping that this was immediate (after all I am NOT working!). Any help would be appreciated.
Yes Rick there is a waiting period. My last day of work was Sept 6, and they ruled out that entire month. My first payment was in April. That was for the month of March. Did they rule out getting SSI in the meantime for you? I did not qualify for that, they use household income for those guidelines.

It's yet another win for yogurt lovers after a new study found that those who regularly consume the popular dairy product were getting more nutrients and maintained a better over-all diet than those who aren't yogurt fans.
The study, which was published in the journal Nutrition Research, looked at nutritional data collected from more than 6,500 adults between the ages of 19 and 89. Study participants were asked to fill out a 126-item questionnaire.
More than half of the participants ate yogurt, though women were more likely than men to eat it. An average of two and one-quarter cups of yogurt were consumed weekly.
After analyzing the data, researchers found that regular consumption of yogurt had a better diet and higher potassium intakes. There were also "48 percent less likely to have inadequate levels of calcium; 38 percent less likely to be deficient in magnesium; and 55 percent less apt to have shortfalls of vitamin B12, a nutrient lacking in some older people's diets."
"We found that yogurt consumers had higher intakes of just about every nutrient we measured," study author Paul Jacques of Tufts University told Fox News. "If people substitute yogurt for less healthy foods in the diet, it may help eliminate the inadequate intake of shortfall nutrients."
Read, "Yogurt lovers have better diets."
This isn't the first time that yogurt has been hailed as a nutritional super food. Other research has tied the popular dairy product to weight loss, immune system booster and a way to fight stress. Last year, a study also found that yogurt helped mice lose weight while improving their love life. Read more here.

Spa Valley Railway » Visitor Information » Accessibility
The Spa Valley Railway is pleased to offer all passengers a range of facilities to enable them to enjoy their day out with us. Most areas can be accessed from the level or by wheelchair-friendly ramps.
Tunbridge Wells West
West Station has level access by footpath from Sainsbury's car park. Visitors can be dropped off nearby, and the ticket office, shop and toilets are all on the same level. There is a unisex disabled toilet.
Although it is not possible to offer wheelchair access to our static buffet car, our friendly staff are always on hand to bring refreshments to you at one of the concourse picnic tables, and assist in any way possible.
High Rocks
Access to the station is down a series of ramps from the car park and road, but please note that the path is made from small shingle. Passengers alighting at High Rocks can gain access to the pub garden by crossing a mown grass area.
There is level access to all areas of Groombridge station. The entrance is alongside the old station building, but please note parking in front of the building is not permitted as it is now in private ownership. Passengers can however be dropped off near the entrance and there is a small parking area alongside the station approach road under the horse chestnuts. The Spa Valley station building has two wheelchair-accessible toilets and a refreshment kiosk.
Due to the fact that Eridge is an original country station dating from the 1880s, the platforms are regrettably only accessible via five steps up from the car park, or down a flight of stairs from Southern's booking hall. However, should passengers wish to alight from the train at Eridge, this can be done via the purpose-built ramp carried in the Guard's van, and our staff will be pleased to assist.
Travelling on the train
We have adapted a passenger saloon carriage to accommodate three wheelchairs in the same format as seats. There are two spaces positioned at a table for four and facing two conventional seats, and a third across an open bay facing two further seats. Access to this carriage is by means of a purpose-built ramp which is carried on the train. The Guard or one of his assistants will be pleased to put this in position and provide whatever help you may require.
Converted with wheelchair users in mind, this coach has a wider corridor and doors, and seats have been removed to allow wheelchairs to be turned and positioned at a table if required. Once aboard, passengers can sit with family and friends, admire the passing scenery and enjoy refreshments from the adjacent Buffet Car.
Although this carriage is in service on most days, it is strongly advised that disabled visitors telephone the Railway in advance, as occasionally it is taken out of traffic for maintenance. Also, if party organisers could contact us beforehand, we can ensure sufficient staff are on hand to give assistance if required.
The Good Access Guide lists various attractions which have improved access for disabled people, including the Spa Valley Railway. This includes shops, businesses and visitor attractions.

Stammen to receive degree from University of Dayton
PHILADELPHIA -- Nationals reliever Craig Stammen will receive his bachelor's degree from the University of Dayton this week. Graduation day is Sunday, but he will not attend because he will be with the Nationals, who are playing the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park that afternoon.
Stammen majored in entrepreneurship and he hopes to put that degree into good use after his playing career is over. He had thoughts of working for his father, who sells farm equipment in Ohio. But baseball made him take a different direction.
"It feels good. It's a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm pretty excited that it's over with," Stammen said about graduating. "I accomplished a goal that I set out to accomplish. I can only thank everybody that helped me get to that point -- all the professors, the people at Dayton that helped me get it done."

TALENTED artists are showcasing their work at Russells Hall Hospital next week to raise awareness of National Carers Week.
The artists, who are all carers themselves, have spent the last five weeks at Artspace, the Netherton based community arts project, producing work to exhibit at the hospital.
During the event, which will run in the reception area from June 18 to 23, representatives from caring service groups will be on hand to provide information and support to visitors from 9am until 7pm each day.
Some of the groups set to take part include Cancer Support, Dementia Gateway, Carers Forum, Dudley Carers Network and Children and Family Services.
Sharon McGlynn, carers co-ordinator at Russell's Hall Hospital, who has organised the event, said: "The theme for Carers Week this year is 'Health and Wellbeing' and it's great that so many organisations have come together to raise awareness about people who become carers in a health setting.
"The art project has been particularly important because it allowed people to come together to talk about their experiences.
"Many carers do not identify themselves as such because they see themselves as a relative or friend, so do not realise that they can receive information and support. We hope that our event will encourage even more people to come forward."

Philadelphia's Eltro recorded their debut in 1997 with Brian McTear at his Miner Street Studio. Information Changer was released in 1998 by Miner Street's brief record label venture. The band and most of the copies of the CD didn't make it outside of Philadelphia, but a copy was given to Absolutely Kosher by Quentin Stoltzfus (then of the Azusa Plain and soon after his own band Mazarin). Since another label was already attached, Absolutely Kosher merely kept the disc in rotation for the next two or three years.
Meanwhile, Eltro had attracted the attention of Simple Machines, the Arlington, VA label run by Tsunami's Kristin Thomson and Jenny Toomey. Simple Machines closed its doors in April 1998. Eltro then attracted the attention of Neil Young's Vapor Records. Vapor asked the band to tour for six months. Eltro declined. Finally, Dave Allen of Gang of Four, now working with the internet music site eMusic, becomes enamored with the band. This was the era of the internet bubble and eMusic was paying large advances for digital rights. Allen surmised that if so much money was being paid only for digital rights, eMusic might as well start their own label.
At last, Eltro's long-awaited third album, Past and Present Futurists. The album is unbelievable, a warp ten progression from their first two albums, Information Changer and Velodrome. The album was beautifully recorded by Brian McTear (Bitter Bitter Weeks, Mazarin, Burning Brides) and is the first to feature second vocalist Jenny P. Eltro has evolved their command of a delicate groove to the realm of the uncanny, channeling irresistible hooks with a gentle yet unrelenting bounce. This is the zenith of the band?s journey to fuse the electronic with the organic, the ocean with the dancefloor.
