?8 oar readers hove observed, the
allegations made in this jouro.u.1, with
respect to tbe City Oounoil and their
operations, has not been disputed. It
now romains for the whole transaction
io bu thoroughly investigated and ex?
posed. Let the citizens of Columbia
look to tho welfare of the oity. A ring
has fastened upon the city. Let it be
broken. The Board of Trade have very
properly taken the matter up. Let
their investigations be thorough and
searching. Tho eyes of all good citizens,
without respect to party, are upon this
investigation. Let this entiro transac?
tion bo exposed, Justice demands it,
and the interests of Columbia require it.
It ought not to surprise any ono to
learn that the friends of Napoleon III
are secretly organizing and plotting iii
Paris to restore him to the throne of
Prance. No one supposed thut he
would remain a privuto citizen. ntCuisci
hurst, or that his friends would bo idle
in his behalf .so long us there was one
chance left to nguiu proclaim him Empe?
ror. His whole life was full of trick and
plot; in fact, he soldom took a direct
path'to auy end, prefetriug ruttier to
reach it by devious courses. If he can
mount tho throne again ho will, the only
question being, has ho tho power to do
it? All present circumstances would be
favorable to the attempt, wore he quite
? certain of the people. Just now, the
people of Franco are an authority, which
is more than eau be* Baid of that hybrid
growth called a government. Tho dis?
armament of the National Guard is in
his favor, for the Guard hated Napoleon
and would fight against his restoration
to power. It is doubtful if tho regular
army would not support him were he
again to place himself at its head. It is
well known that many of the leading
generals of France are still ardent sup?
porters of tho Empire, and thnt they
would be able to control the army in
great degree. Tho strength of tho re?
public appears to be exaatly nothing;
the Assembly is arrayed against the
Chief Execrative, and the Chief Execu?
tive against the Assembly, and the peo?
ple have little confidence in either. It
is this condition of affairs which gives
the friends of Napoleon III a chance to
plot, aud even a chance to plot success?
If Connecticut does not speedily make
a marked improvement upou her wooden
nutmegs, it is to be feared that the in?
ventive geniuB of California will carry
that State aheud of her. At a recent
election for assessor in San Francisco,
the Radicule made a good many votes by
surroptitiounly applying nitrato of silver
to the name of tho opposing candidate.
As the application produced no immedi?
ate effect on the ballots, they were depo?
sited in the box without suspicion on
the part of the voters. But when the
vote came to be counted the chemical
aotion of the nitrate of silver had per?
formed its mission and the name had
disappeared from the ballots. A man
who would be guilty of snob conduct as
that couldn't be trusted with a five dil
lar bill a hundred yards from home by
his own cherished mother-in-law.

FIENDISH OOTHAQES ny NEGROES -A
report from Oreeubrier County, Wost
Virginia, gives the details of a most dia?
bolical ont rugo which occurred in tho
township of Palestine. It seems that ti
mau iu tho employ of Mr. Georgo V.
Purry hud a difficulty with Mr. Lewis F.
Watts, in which Watts was whipped.
Watts thou employed two negroes and ii
whim muu to go to Perry's ut night time
for the purpo^o of beating Iiis antagonist.
Thu whito mun retnuiued in the rond and
the negroes knocked at tho door ami
were admitted by Mr. Perry. Tho man
they were af tor stepped behind Ibo door
as it was oponed, und tho negroes, not
seeing him in tho room, wont up stairH
in search of him. As soon ns they start?
ed np stairs he sprang out und ran to tho
railroad for assistance. The negrous,
after searching in vain for bim up stairs,
came down and fell upon Mr. Perry and
his young sou and beat thom fearfully.
They thou seized Mrs. Perry, threw her
on the bcd aud tied her by the hair to
the bed, after which they brutally out?
raged her person. The fiends then at?
tempted to outrage a little girl only
twelve years of age, doiug her tho most
serious injury iu their hellish efforts.
Mrs. Perry, in ber struggles to escupe,
had nearly all her hair pulled from lier
head by the roots, but she finally suc?
ceeded and fled to a neighbor's in her
night clothos for protection. Tho man
who had gone for assistance returned
with others and captured the offenders.
They thou went to Watt's aud arrested
him and his son, and kept them secure
until next day. Tho news spread rapidly,
aud tito people flocked in with guns, de?
termined on lyuching nil the guilty
partios. Those, however, were secured
in a strongly built house, so that they
were not reached, although desperate
efforts were made. They were tried and
Beut to tho Monroe Jail, where they re?
main securely guarded.
i'he Times says: "All the prisoners cou
fiucd iu our jail made their encape last
Thursday moruing. Sheriff Easterliu
went up into the jail for the purpose of
role ising one of the pri.souers whose
time of confinement bud expired. As he
entered the door leading into the pass
age, one of the prisoners threw him vio?
lently against the iron bur fastening thc
door aud stunued him. While he WIIH
iu this condition, John ll. McQouge,
confined for the killing of Robert J.
Breeden, at Clio, last July, York McCall,
imprisoned for larceny, and a boy named
David -, passed ont. The sheriff's
j sou met the last mimed on tho steps and
stopped him, but the other two made
good their escape. On examining the
jail, tho sheriff discovered that during
the nigbt the lock on the cell in which
the prisoners were confined had becu
broken by means of nu iron bar which
they had procured in someway. Know?
ing that heywould enter the jail early in
the morning for the purpose of releasing
one of their number, they gathered in
tho passage and prepared for him, with
the above rosult. Owing to the beauti?
ful jury law that we now have, there was
no oourt held for Marlboro at the regu
lar time in September, and therefore
these mon could not be tried. They
tried themselves, and tigreod upon a ver?
dict of 'not guilty,' and have loft for
parts unknown."
We regret to nnuonnce tho death,
from chronic dysentery, at the residenco
of Mr. M. Pollitzer, of Mr. Chas S. Kuli,

ON THINGS OP THE PAST.-Lomax Smitb,
a barber in the Exohango Hotel, Rich
mond, i? a relie of tho palmy days of
Virginia. A- writer in the Petersburg
Progresa satin tho old gentleman's ohair,
to whom Smith gossiped about old times:
"A nico collection of gentlemen, sir,"
said Lomax, "this oonvention at Assem?
bly Hull; mauy very genteel and nble
persons there, sir. It does me good to
see again in Virginia tho best people j
coming forward to take part iu politics.
Aud yet, sir, there aro some great men

Aud Lomax re-strapped his razor,
turned our hoad gently and began again:
"And how did they como hero, sir?
Omnibuses, hucks? Not they! Private

ono brandy aud houey-pouch and honey,

Those were days! Why, nothing now is

The woman was shot in the arm and will recover. Her name was not released.
Investigators were interviewing the 48-year-old suspect Friday morning and did not release his name.
The shooting happened about 1:30 a.m. inside the man's room at the Starlite Motel, 10000 MacArthur Boulevard. Police said he had been staying at the motel since last month.
The woman had also been staying at the motel in another room for about a week, police said.
The woman went to the man's room where an argument ensued and she was shot, Sgt. Todd Mork said. She ran from the room seeking help and police, who also were alerted by Shotspotter technology, responded.
The man was arrested, and a gun recovered. Police were trying to establish what the argument was about and how well the two knew each other.

Fourteen Rescue Union School District teachers will not lose their jobs and every teacher in the district will receive a cash bonus.
Superintendent David Swart released a statement last week, stating: "On Tuesday, April 23, the Board of Trustees of the Rescue Union School District held a special meeting to consider approval of a Tentative Agreement with the Rescue Federation of Teachers.
This agreement consisted of two articles. The first article was an Early Retirement Incentive that was contingent upon receiving seven retirements in order for the district to demonstrate cost savings, as required by the State Teachers Retirement System. Since less than seven retirements were submitted, this portion of the agreement was automatically nullified. In the second article of the agreement, I am pleased to report that the board approved a 3 percent one-time salary bonus for teachers. I believe that this action by the board demonstrates their recognition of the hard work and dedication of our teaching staff.
I am also extremely pleased to announce that we have been able to rescind all of the 14 preliminary teacher lay-off notices that were issued in March. This means that these highly valued employees will be returning to our classrooms in the fall to continue to serve our students."
Despite these apparent concessions — at last month's school board meeting parents and teachers implored board members to save jobs and give overdue raises — some call the new agreement between the district and the Rescue Union Federation of Teachers far from ideal.
Third-grade teacher and RUFT president Donna DeLaurentis is one who isn't pleased.
"Although it appears from Mr. Swart's recent letters to parents that the district has done everything in their power to reward teachers for their hard work, we have been upset by several of the things they have done this year during our negotiations process," she said.
"Although we are happy that all of the lay off notices were rescinded, we question whether they were ever necessary in the first place."
And as for the teachers who offered their early retirement under the plan, which has since been nullified, DeLaurentis said, "We have encouraged those teachers to withdraw their retirement unless the board decides to offer a package commensurate with the original offer."
Swart called the layoff notices and eventual rescinding of those notices an administrative process that the board doesn't control. He also said registration for the 2013-14 school year is up from what was expected, allowing the district to keep more teachers.
The 3 percent cash bonus is also a point of contention. Teachers want ongoing pay raises, arguing that the salary schedule hasn't changed in seven years yet class sizes have risen along with insurance premiums.
"Most people I talk to assume that all teachers have great benefit packages, but are shocked when they hear the insurance premiums we pay," said DeLaurentis. "And the district has such a large reserve, in part, because of the fact that teachers and other staff have made salary concessions for the past five years in addition to increased class sizes and workloads."
Another teacher, who wanted to speak anonymously, said, "I never scoff at money, but a 3 percent bonus after taxes works out to be $25 a month … and that's only for the past few years out of the seven we haven't had a raise."
Negotiations are closed for the year but DeLaurentis said teachers are encouraged to show unity by wearing blue on Tuesdays and attend board meetings to see what spending future decisions are made.
Both the district and the union will be submitting their sunshine items (things that each side wants to bring to the negotiating table next year) at the June board meeting.
"The most important item for RUFT will be salary and benefits," said DeLaurentis. "And then in August we will return to the negotiating table and see what the district is willing to do. At this point we are hearing that the state budget will be coming in higher than originally thought back in January and that education will be getting 40 percent of that. With that news we are hopeful that the district will see fit to give us a raise and possibly reduce class sizes if the state provides funding for that."

Glasgow contract for Gillies
Finlay Gillies has been rewarded for his fine form at Glasgow Warriors in the first part of the RaboDirect PRO12 season with a full professional contract until next summer.
The 22-year-old hooker has been with the club since the summer of 2010 as a Scottish Rugby Elite Development player, and has this term provided stiff competition for Dougie Hall and Pat MacArthur.
Gillies, a product of the Haddington and Heriot's clubs, played a leading role in the historic away win over reigning European champions Leinster in September, and has also had a say in the victories against Cardiff Blues, Dragons and Aironi.
He came off the bench at Rodney Parade on Sunday as the Warriors extended their unbeaten run in the league to six games with a 14-14 draw against the Dragons.
Commenting on his new deal, the Scotland Under-20 told the club's website: "I'm really pleased to have been given a professional contract and I'm determined to make the most of this great opportunity.
"I've learned a massive amount from working alongside Dougie and Pat and under the guidance of [forwards coach] Shade Munro, and I've enjoyed contributing to some positive results in the opening months of the campaign."
Head coach Sean Lineen congratulated Gillies, adding: "Finlay thoroughly deserves this contract.
"He's worked extremely hard in his time here and has developed significantly as a player.
"He listens to advice, reads the game terrifically well and is another talented young guy who wants to help take this club forward."


text: I bought a 21" Honda Harmony a couple months ago and at the time it cut great. After the blades dulled a little, the quality of cut got worse, to the point where there would be rows of partially-cut grass leftover from overlapping the mowing path. I bought new blades and a bench grinder and sharpened them all. The cut didn't improve- even with very sharp blades (I did dip the blades in water often while grinding to keep the blade temper), and overlapping a lot while mowing (so the deck goes over the wheel tracks), and with dry St. Augustine grass, not only are there errant blades that are untouched after going under the deck, but around the edges of each mowing path, there are semi-cut paths of grass, whole ROWS of uncut grass! In other words, the mower is cutting the grass in these rows but it's a noticeable inch or so higher than the rest of the cut grass. The underside of the deck is clean, deck height set as usual, and I'm mowing properties poorly now that I've mowed when the Honda was brand-new that looked great then. I'm dumbfounded.. searching the forums didn't turn up much info. Has anyone experienced this or have a suggestion? The grass that is cut well looks like it was cut with a scissors, so I know the blades are sharp.. but something is very wrong. I'm not going to change mowers anytime soon since this is a small business I'm running while in college and the Honda was $500.. and it used to cut perfectly!

Nestled among the gentle hills of County Down in Northern Ireland, lies the little city of Killyleagh. With a colourful past and real pride in its heritage, the city boasts some vital and fascinating moments in history. Though tiny in size, Killyleagh is the ultimate location for a vacation or an overnight stay for families or couples alike.
One of the most important reasons why Killyleagh is a preferred holiday location is actually because it is in a county that's abounding with activities and things worth doing. Sailing, trekking, fishing and golfing are to name just a few of many things that Killyleagh and its surrounding areas have on offer. Sailing is favored by many visitors and the city has 3 sailing clubs alone, without mentioning others which are scattered along the coast of Strangford Lough. It's also hard not to use the gorgeous country which Killyleagh is encircled by. For people that enjoy a good walk, there are lots of country lanes to stroll which are crammed with a superb collection of animal life including badgers, red squirrels, kingfishers and more lately a resurge in the superb Buzzards. For the more heavy hikers and hill trekkers there's the Mountains of Mourne which offer astounding views and a relaxed and relaxing environment.
Delamont Country Park is an excellent place to visit for all the family, particularly if you have babies in your company. Visitors can book ship trips out on to Strangford Lough and with the chance to perhaps catch a glance of a seal, or if you are even luckier, a lazing shark, it turns out to be a top hit with all visitors. The park has a Thomas the tank engine and carriages and even travels thru a tunnel where it sounds its horn, this is a brilliant experience for the small ones.
Delamont Country Park is also the home of the Strangford Stone, the tallest megalith in the English Isles at ten metres high. It has got a heavy purpose in Delamont as it was raised in 1999 by one thousand younger people from all parts of Northern Ireland to mark the start of the millennium. With other activities like an out of doors gymnasium, canoe trails and many walks Delamont Park is an exciting and fun experience for any person of any age.
As the chestnut goes, nice things come in tiny packages and for Killyleagh this really is true. With lovely environment, traditional castles, buildings and action-packed attractions, Killyleagh is unquestionably a place not to be missed out on.
Outside the towns the terrain of Northern Ireland will beguile you with its variety and rough style. Southern of the Derry the Mountains Sperrin rise in delicate features in the landscape. You may enjoy the amazing wonder of Ness Timber, the location where the Burntollet Stream cascades thirty feet over the Northern Ireland's maximum waterfall.
The Coast Causeway among Larne and also the Giant Causeway follows 60 miles of impressive shore carved with impressive lush forests, bluffs, and also the calm Antrim glens. In the southwest area of the country, the Fermanagh Lakeland is a relaxed place for fishing and dramatic drives. Here you are able to discover a brief history with the Gaelic Maguire chieftains inside the Enniskillen Fortress and also museums with the area. The scenery of the nation is filled with countless ruins, historic sites, churches and castles to find out.

Beijing backs troubled HK leader
By Damian Grammaticas in Hong Kong
In a highly unusual move the authorities in Beijing have delivered a public rebuke to the second most senior figure in Hong Kong's government and to its entire civil service.
They were told they must give better support to the territory's unpopular Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa.
Beijing's message is a sign it is troubled by how unpopular Hong Kong's leader has become in the three years since the territory was handed back to China and by suggestions his administration is deeply divided.
Mr Tung was hand picked by China's leaders to rule Hong Kong following the handover and they now appear to be sticking by their choice.
His deputy, Anson Chan who heads the civil service was told on a visit to Beijing that they must give him better support.
Troubled times
His civil servants, in particular, are unhappy.
In surveys two thirds have said they don't approve his leadership and the prospect of a ruler who doesn't have the backing of his people or his administration is worrying for Beijing.
Mr Tung is viewed by many as autocratic, out of touch and prone to political blunders.
He has instituted unpopular reforms in the civil service and elsewhere.
Anson Chang meanwhile has remained popular and there have been many reports suggesting she disagrees with his leadership.
China, it appears, is trying to patch up the problems in Hong Kong's government.

Today's crochet quote is comes from the section on Hairpin Lace crochet in the Crochet Master Classbook edited by Jean Leinhauser and Rita Weiss, which I reviewed here on the blog earlier today. The crochet master for this section is Jennifer Hansen, aka Stitch Diva. I just love the imagery in the quote, which is part of a larger section on the history of hairpin lace.
"In the early nineteenth century, young women spent hours creating miles and miles of laces to decorate the large quantities of household linens and delicate personal undergarments that would fill their hope chests."
Have you tried hairpin lace?

As soon as Klara Soderberg produced some Irn-Bru to drink onstage, she and her sister Johanna could have called it a night and still received a fond reaction.
For all that the duo's success has come from projecting a lyrical style of world-weary folk, this was a performance that bounced with playful energy.
The guitar-playing Klara switched to drinking water later on, but there was fizz to the youthful twosome's manner. The sisters plugged the deluxe edition of their second album The Lion's Roar with sarcastic infomercialesque banter, dedicated numbers to Richard Dawkins and Pussy Riot and, at noisier moments, embarked on headbanging with some ferocity.
Loading article content
It's somewhat different from their actual music, often focused heavily around harmonies. They were impressive, with both vocals sounding crisp and soaring when required. Success this year has been rapid for the Swedish siblings, here supplemented by a drummer, but they adapted well to larger surroundings, with the snappy country pop of In The Morning and Blue a fine start. There was enjoyment in both quiet and loud moments, with the breezy Emmylou prompting a sing-along and a defiant I Met Up With The King dovetailing classic Americana with surprising aggression.
Covers of Fever Ray's When I Grow Up and America by Simon and Garfunkel were perfunctory, and a few songs ticked boxes efficiently without ever offering melodic inspiration. But the duo are still young, and when they beautifully performed Ghost Town with no microphones it was easy to believe they will someday match their obvious inspirations.

I've tried the faithful Google search and it came up dry but I'm trying to figure out what wires are all landed on the POSITIVE side of the solenoid. What I have on it so far is the typical body harness wires also the battery wire the starter wire since I have a hi torque mini starter now I know I have to put my 3g alternator output post wire on there as well. My problem is that I have almost topped out my solenoid post hahaha. My solution is could I take the starter wire off of there and attach it and the alternator output post wire directly onto the battery + side? I mean I'm just moving it off of the solenoid to the battery could someone shed some light as to if this is a possible solution or another way if there is one???

A spokesman for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says use of the word "retarded" by a consultant to Texas Gov. Rick Perry was disrespectful.
Perry consultant Dave Carney reportedly used the word several times during a conference call about the first Republican gubernatorial debate.
The campaign manager for rival Kay Bailey Hutchison spread the word about the remark.
Palin has demanded that President Barack Obama's chief of staff be fired for using the word.
Palin aide Meg Stapleton didn't say Carney should lose his job, but Stapleton called the language "disrespectful."
Palin, who has a son with Down syndrome, is campaigning with Perry on Sunday. She says the word "retarded" is a slur.
Perry campaign spokesman Mark Miner said Thursday: "It was an unfortunate choice of words and the governor is extremely disappointed."
Accounts of Carney's alleged use of the word made it into a few blogs last month but didn't get much attention until the incident involving Rahm Emanuel came to light.
Palin is scheduled to join Perry at a Republican rally in Cypress near Houston on Sunday.
Rock musician Ted Nugent is slated to perform at the rally. Like Carney, he's also familiar with the word "retarded." He recently told Royal Flush Magazine that hunting is "the last pure perfect function of mankind."
"It's untouchable on all levels. Unless you're retarded," he said.

Daniel Radcliffe Calls Hollywood Racism 'Undeniable'
'...we have been lagging behind in all kinds of areas,' Radcliffe told the BBC.
'...we have been lagging behind in all kinds of areas,' Radcliffe told the BBC.
Daniel Radcliffe found clerical work way more difficult than acting when he covered reception at the Nylon offices.
Daniel Radcliffe's name may be forever synonymous with 'Harry Potter,' but the British actor has already proven that his talents extend far beyond playing the boy wizard on the big screen. He can do the Broadway thing! He's got a nifty fake American accent! He can rap! Wait...what?
Listen up, 'Harry Potter' nerds. Your chance to ride Daniel Radcliffe's (broom)stick is nigh -- seems Radcliffe and girlfriend Rosie Coker have officially called it quits.
Now that the 'Harry Potter' film series has ended after an eight movie run, Daniel Radcliffe is a boy wizard no more. And while the 22-year old does have a fairly successful dramatic stage career to fall back on, the world will get to see if he can also do comedy when he hosts 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend.
Booze didn't turn out to be a magic elixir for Daniel Radcliffe.
In an interview with GQ, the 'Harry Potter' star admitted he developed a dangerous drinking problem as a way to deal with his fame.

For the first time since the sequester budget cuts kicked in in March, the White House will be open for public tours starting next month.
Tours of the East Wing and Executive Residence will begin again on a limited basis -- three days per week, instead of five -- on November 5, the administration said in a statement Friday. The grounds and gardens will be open to the public beginning October 26 and 27.
The cancelation of public tours was one of the most visible effects of the across-the-board cuts implemented after a group of members of Congress failed to come to an agreement on more specific reductions. The Administration decided to cut the tours in order to reassign Secret Service officers to other posts in the White House, enabling it to reduce overtime and minimize furlough days.
"Last year's sequestration came midway through the fiscal year, and we were unable to adjust or re-allocate remaining funding to continue tours while still ensuring enough funding remained to meet all operational needs and avoid furloughing our employees," said Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary. "In light of the new fiscal year, the Secret Service is confident that through the continuing resolution tours can operate at a reduced level while still meeting operational requirements.
But because the agreement this week to fund the government only lasts through January 15, the fate of the White House tours will once again be up in the air come next year.

"The threat is general and stretches over the whole of Afghanistan. The state of readiness has been raised and is now at a significantly higher level than it was just a few weeks ago," lieutenant-colonel Peter Nilsson told the Göteborgs-Posten (GP) newspaper via telephone from Mazar-i-Sharif.
According to Nilsson, there have yet to be any incidents near the northern Afghan city which serves as the headquarters for about 600 Swedish soldiers deployed to take part in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission in Afghanistan.
However, he added that there have been suicide-bomber attacks along the border to Pakistan and in Kabul.
Taliban spokesperson Zabihullah Mujahid announced the offensive on Sunday in connection with a suicide bombing that killed four people and injured twelve.
The same day, Swedish troops were called in to support an Afghan military unit outside of Mazar-i-Sharif.
The Swedish soldiers faced small-caliber arms fire and rocket launchers in what became an intense firefight, according to GP.
On Tuesday, a Taliban commander referred to Rasiullah in Jowzjan province, where members of a Swedish Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) are stationed, and told the Expressen newspaper that while his comrades mourn the recent death of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda leader's passing wouldn't stop the Taliban from continuing its fight.
"It doesn't matter if he's dead. We're going to continue to fight until the intruders have left Afghanistan," he told the newspaper.
Sweden lost its fifth soldier in October 2010 since it first deployed troops in Afghanistan at the start of 2002.
In December, the Riksdag, voted to extend the country's military mission in Afghanistan until the end of 2011.

Amal Hijazi considers Haifa Wahbi a hot item for attracting hotel customers
Late last week, Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi was a guest on the ART satellite channel show "Studio Al Mushahedeen" (Viewers Studio) hosted by Jumana Bou Obeid. The program which usually hosts some of the biggest names in the music industry, witnessed an unusual interview with Amal that left viewers and the presenter in utter shock.
According to the London based Elaph, Amal went overboard with her comments and answers to most the questions asked by Jumana. The singer had in fact insulted many of her colleagues in the music industry not paying attention to what she was saying.
Jumana had asked Amal if she owned her own hotel who among the singer would she invite to hold a live performance, the singer simply answered Lebanese singer Haifa Wahbi for she would surely bring in a lot of customers. Her insinuation that Haifa's looks would attract customers shocked the presenter whose face went pale after hearing the answer. Amal realizing what she had said was completely out of place, tried hard to change the words around to make it seem as if her intentions were pure, but in fact it was too late to make any alteration for the point had been sent across.
Amal had also said that her competition in the music world is internationally well-known singer Celion Dion, saying that the pitch of her voice is very similar and matches that of Dion. None the less, it is an understatement to compare Celion, whose voice is considered to be legendary, to such an amateur as Amal.
It appeared that Jumana had realized that the interview was a total loss of time and in some ways an insult for her to present such a guest, who does not know when to stop talking and think before saying anything, on her show. But it was revealed that the program has a previous contract with the record production company Rotana, which is Amal's production company, stating that only members of Rotana can be guest on the program. This in turn limits the presenter to whom she may invite as a guest on her show.
Algerian singer Fuedel revealed that he is the main reason behind the success of Lebanese singer Amal Hijazi. Fuedel commented that before his duet with Amal "Einak" (Your Eye), she was not well known in around the Arab world and even in Lebanon.
Fuedel added that Amal benefited in a major way from their duet by being able to double her popularity. Fuedel expressed that he hopes Amal does not find offense in his remarks, but he was simply saying the truth and that the credit of her popularity is owed to him.
Her album "Zaman" has gone beyond expectations in the number of breaking figures in the music market all over the world. The twelve-song album, produced by Universal Company in Paris, held two major surprises, the first, her duet with Fuedel, written by Fuedel and Tony Abi Karam, and the second with the duo Omar and Rafi.
Hijazi is currently preparing for the filming of her new music video "Id'eeli" (Pray For Me). All necessary arrangement concerning time, place, and scenario for the new clip have been complete and are underway.
Amal Hijazi is an architecture Engineer, but never worked in this field, saying that she is "dedicating all my time to music, for it needs lots of time and hard work." – Albawaba.com

Cancer survivor is honorary chair of 2007 Relay for Life
Joyce Oberg is proof that a cancer diagnosis does not equal a death sentence.
Oberg has been cancer-free for 33 years. She was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy in 1974.
Oberg is this year's honorary chairwoman of the Beltrami County Relay for Life, an annual event that brings together cancer survivors, family members, friends and community members to raise money and awareness for the American Cancer Society.
The 11th annual Beltrami County Relay for Life will run 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday at Bemidji High School.
At the event, Oberg will deliver a speech, lead the survivors' walk and light the first luminary.
"To just see that that many people are survivors is impressive," she said.
With many different teams at the event, each team tries to have at least one member walking around the track throughout the night and into the next morning. Teams may also have booths, where they may sell refreshments or products to raise money for the American Cancer Society.
"Every year it just gets bigger," Oberg said. "It's wonderful; all (the money raised) goes to the cancer society."
One of the highlights of the event, Oberg said, is that cancer survivors meet one another. And, you might discover that someone you know is a survivor.
"There's a camaraderie there," she said. "You've both been through it."
Oberg's friends and family also will support her this Friday. Her loved ones have helped decorate luminaries - paper bags that usually display a name of a cancer survivor or victim -- which house votive candles, which are lit in honor of the people to which they are dedicated.
Oberg and her husband, Gordon, have three children and one granddaughter.
Oberg has been involved in the Relay for Life for several years, having taken part on a team organized around the North Country Regional Hospital gift shop, where she volunteers.
She is a member of First Lutheran Church and volunteers at the Bemidji Community Food Shelf. Oberg also is active in the Bemidji Area Church Musicians.

Step 1: Run your DARS (Degree Audit) online
Your DARS provides up-to-date details such as transfer credits, waivers, substitutions, and grade changes. Only this document should be used in determining the classes you need for degree completion. Do not rely solely upon the FIT college website or the departmental checklist to make registration choices. Only the DARS is personalized for you and reflects your individual situation.
Set up an appointment with your advisor and remember to bring a printed copy of your most recent DARS to all advisement meetings.
Step 2: View the master list of upcoming semester course offerings.
Select the Semester/year. The column labeled RESTRICTIONS indicates who is able to enroll in that specific section. If your major code is 7820, only you may enroll in courses with a 7820 restriction. Any student can enroll in a section with no restrictions, provided they have met the pre- or co-requisite criteria. (These courses are typically offered through Liberal Arts or may be your Related Area courses.)
Major Codes
7510 Fashion Design AAS
7620 Communication Design AAS
7820 Fashion Merchandising Management 2 year AAS
7821 Fashion Merchandising Management 1 year AAS
7830 Advertising and Marketing Communication 2 year AAS
7831 Advertising and Marketing Communication 1 year AAS
9500 Graphic Design BFA
9540 Illustration BFA
9810 Fashion Merchandising Management BS
9830 Advertising and Marketing Communications BS
9840 International Trade and Marketing BS
Step 3: Plan.
Prior to notification of your Time Ticket Invitation you should meet with your departmental advisor for course recommendations, resolve any holds on your account that may prevent you from gaining registration access, such as unpaid bills, library holds, etc.. and prepare your finances so payments can be made in a timely fashion and de-registration wont be an issue.
Step 4: Keep an eye out for your time ticket invitation!
During the middle of your current semester, you will receive your TIME TICKET INVITATION to register through your FIT email account. This tells you when registration begins for YOU. Plan to register on or shortly following this date so you get all of the classes you need. Please be advised that Registration for evening and weekend classes open to the public, which means all non-restricted evening and weekend sections are available to anyone, so you may get closed-out of sections if you don't act quickly.
Step 5: Double Check your DARS.
When you have completed your registration, print a newly updated copy of your DARS! Make sure all of the courses you've enrolled in apply to your degree requirements, as per the report. Resolve any course conflicts before courses begin.
If you believe your DARS is incorrect, contact the Registrars Office at 212 217.3820.
If you encounter technical issues, don't know who to speak to, or cannot locate an office on campus for assistance, simply contact our office at 212 217.4634 or e-mail: email@example.com.

ISSJ - N° 176 - Sustainable Mobility
June 2003
Mobility, and the transport technologies and networks on which it relies, are among the most characteristic features of modern societies. By their use of resources (from fossil fuels to physical space), their direct and indirect effects on the environment and social organisation (from pollution to lifestyles), and their powerful cultural significance, they lie along the fault-lines of major contemporary tensions, dynamics and inequalities. The ability of democratic systems to produce informed collective choices about specific rules and infrastructures, or about transport systems as a whole, is a test case for democracy in general as it struggles with the conflicting requirements of expertise, openness and inclusion in the face of complex social systems riddled with technical constraints and unintended consequences.
Yet, curiously, the social sciences have devoted comparatively little attention to transport. This issue is a preliminary attempt to redress the balance by considering what "sustainability" means for societies in which "mobility" and "flexibility" are central to contemporary self-understandings. The balance of costs and benefits in the transport sector has long been loaded in favour on moving more things further and faster, and the bias has been built into the very procedures used to assess competing choices. "Sustainable mobility" offers a framework for redressing the balance. It marks a shift away from the traditional transport planning approach, which conceptualised transport as a derivative requirement of economic growth that required infrastructural support, towards a policy approach that is informed by evidence, risk assessment and democratic concerns, and recognises the pitfalls of unconstrained growth.

You might know a lot about games, but your collection of obscure facts pales in comparison to Google Now.
Google's search service, which answers users' inquiries with a digitized human-sound voice just like Apple's Siri, is one of Earth's largest repositories of information. Naturally, a good chunk of those useless tidbits relates to games. We decided to put the service to the test, so we asked it questions that only a real gaming geek would know.
Here are five searches that prove just how big of a nerd Google Now really is:
What exactly did President Johnson do to Raiden in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty?
The Metal Gear Solid franchise has tons of lore and odd moments. Few fans dedicate enough of themselves to memorizing everything about the convoluted plot, but if you mention President Johnson and Raiden, most gamers are going to immediately think of one moment: The presidential crotch grab in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.
Google Now is just like a gamer in that respect:
What is Master Chief's name?
The Halo series, like Metal Gear, has a big story, but you can expect any decent fan to know the Chief's real name. Everyone might call him by his military title, but a human is really behind that mask. Maybe Google Now is, too:
What is the Year of Luigi?
We just finished a whole year honoring the green guy with a 'stache, and Google Now didn't forget. Google Now will never forget you, Luigi.
What was the first game to use the Konami code?
Every chump knows the Konami code. Hell, entering up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, and A on a few dozen websites will unlock all kinds of hidden Easter eggs. If you ask the average person what the first game to feature the infamous cheat is, he'll probably say something like Contra. That's wrong, but Google Now isn't:
Who is Sonic the Hedgehog's girlfriend?
Here is the final test. The toughest of them all. Only a truly masochistic fan would follow the adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog so closely to know the name of his love interest. Google Now is that kind of fan:

Micron-sized bacteria represent the smallest and most abundant life form on Earth. Strikingly, bacteria are motile despite their small size and understanding their swimming mechanics is both intriguing and important. Although bacterial motility has been studied for half a century, we recently discovered a new mechanism of reorientation, used broadly among marine bacteria, which all (95% of swimming species) have only a single flagellum, in contrast for example to E. coli. By combining video microscopy at up to 2000 frames/s, image analysis, and mechanical stability theory, we visualized the dynamics of the cell and its flagellum as it changes swimming direction and discovered that the mechanism that allows them to reorient is a buckling instability of their flagellum. This project revealed an unexpected role of flexibility in the locomotion of prokaryotes, whose flagella are typically assumed to be rigid. Intriguingly, it shows how structural failure can be turned into biological function, a dramatic and elegant adaptation by the smallest organisms on the planet.
Now working on this theme: Kwangmin Son, Jeff Guasto.

Lack shelving bench
Anette found a discarded Ikea Lack shelving unit and hacked it into a bench.
She says, "I added chrome legs from the local hardware store. The upholstering was the biggest challenge as I had never tried it before, but I bought thin foam and some sturdy fabric and got to work with my friends' staple gun. I stapled the foam down first and then added the fabric. I didn't sew the fabric at all, but just made sure to carefully fold in the edges of the fabric before putting in each staple.
18 Responses to Lack shelving bench
I once asked at Ikea about putting castors on a certain item and they said it couldn't be done because it was made of something like cardboard (not their words, but when I asked, they confirmed).
Great idea to staple the cushion to a board and then mount it on the bookcase. I love the look! Good one!
and there was me going to get rid of mine down the tip, cracking idea!!
great job! now i want to make one.
How are those legs attahced? I've been told that the LACK shelves are honeycomb/hollow construction.
So is there a solid portion on those shelves to which the legs are attached?
I have a LACK shelf in the living room, with only 4 casters on it, and about a 1/2 inch bow in the middle from my TV, and that wasn't even centered on it. Definitely put something in the middle.
i love this idea!–on casters great idea too. like others i was wondering about the weight bearing thing to. i want to make this for my son's room. he's about 230 lbs 6'3 (and growing?) do you think it will hold him? thanks!
Nice idea! I love those lack shelves, so many uses.
just saw this via ohdeedoh – THANK YOU! i have a naked lack shelf sitting in my living room that i have been wanting to create a cushion for. i am NO seamstress though and this is a FANTASTIC alternative. great work. for the skeptics (or engineers): i too have my lack unit sitting on only four CASTERS and just about everyone who enters our LR takes a seat… it's just fine.
This is really nice, i might try something like it for my studio space : )
Great choice of fabric, and good job keeping those stripes straight while stapling. Well done.
This totally rocks!!! Would be so awesome in a mudroom or just around the coffee table with mags and books underneath..I am sooo making one!
This is awesome. I've been waiting to find a Lack shelf on Craigslist for just this purpose.
Very cool! Nice job on upholstring it. I need a bencj about this size…hmmmmm.
I use the capita legs on this lack shelf as my tv bench with 6 legs. I can tell you, its perfectly capable of bearing weight.
Just an addition to my previous comment — make sure the legs have a wide, sturdy base to attach to the shelf. A smaller, more narrow base could actually punch a hole in the bench over time.
If the bench only has four legs you're absolutely right. I recommend a third pair of legs under the center of the bench. Otherwise there's too much stress on the middle. I've used six of Ikea's Capita legs to make a bench and also several together as a bed platform and it supports weight very well.
Pretty cool- but maybe you should have upholstered the foam and fabric to a piece of wood cut to the size of the seat and then placed that on the bookshelf. I guess you could go either was on that. nice hack.
that doesn't seem like it would be weight bearing…

With Harry Osborn ("Chronicle's' Dane DeHaan) already cast in Marc Webb's "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", it was inevitable that Norman Osborn, father of Harry, would be joining him.
"American Beauty's" Chris Cooper has now officially joined the cast of comic book sequel, and is set to play Norman Osborn, the industrialist who Peter Parker befriends. In the comics, Osborn eventually turns psycho and becomes a regular Spidey villain named The Green Goblin. Willem Dafoe played the character in the first "Spider-Man" movie directed by Sam Raimi (with James Franco as his son, Harry).
With Electro (Jamie Foxx) and The Rhino (Paul Giamatti) already scheduled to battle Spidey in the sequel, it's unlikely Osborn Sr. will be going baddie during his introduction in the upcoming movie. Or at least, he shouldn't. I mean, three villains? In only the second movie? Even Raimi waited until the third movie to start shoving the villains in there.
Chances are, Cooper's transformation into the Green Goblin will be saved for the third movie. Or heck, if Marc Webb and company really want to do something drastically different (as they've been promising us), they'll skip a generation and turn Norman into the villain instead and leave ol Harry alone. I know, totally radical thinking there, actually doing something different with characters instead of just treading the same ground over and over again.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" will also star Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, and Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson. In case you missed them, we posted set images from the in-production film here.
Spidey swings back into theaters next May 2, 2014.

Education Ministry Web Site Draws Fire for Discussing Homosexuality
Online remarks about homosexuality cause controversy amongst teachers.
"The flamboyance of the homosexuals borders on the disgusting. It's an issue not only of aesthetics, but of decency. They propagandize minors in order to increase their own political clout. To glorify a disability and turn it into an ideal is a distortion of morality and human nature." The remarks were posted recently on an Internet forum for civics teachers, in response to a Web site of supplementary educational materials on various topics, including homosexuality, that is supported by the Ministry of Education.
The teacher, Yair Becker of Beit Shemesh, wrote that the site serves as a "mouthpiece and stage for a blatantly one-sided position on the legitimacy of a different, not to say perverted, sexuality."
His comments were met with both support and criticism on the forum. "It's frightening to imagine the encounter between teachers with such opinions and students with questions about their sexual identity," another civics teacher wrote.
"It is human nature to be attracted to the opposite sex," Becker argued in another message. "True, there are thousands of teens whose nature endowed them with the opposite inclination. But this is no cause for celebration or for pride, just as to be proud, just as it is no cause for discrimination against them .... It is a fraud to think that the purpose here is just to protect these thousands of teens in distress. There is a political, extra-parliamentary system aimed at delegitimizing the institution of the traditional family in favor of immediate, available sexual gratification. Many naive [individuals] have surrendered to the verbal brutality of the [gay] 'community,' and in exchange for the protection of thousands of teens, tens of thousands more have ended up confused," Becker continued.
Speaking to Haaretz last night, Becker said: "I don't have a problem with the Web sites that deal with education and homosexuality, but rather with the fact that a religious student who is directed to the site by a teacher could be exposed to material that goes beyond what the teacher intended."
In the forum, Becker also said he did not want his students to talk to him about their sexual identity."They shouldn't report to anyone (except their homeroom teacher/psychologist/guidance counselor ), and they shouldn't expect me to react calmly when they share information I don't want to be exposed to," he wrote. " Just as I'm not supposed to tell my students what I like in bed, no student of mine should tell me about his sexual orientation."

Which _may_ make it incompatible with GPL. For instance, if a hypotetical PHP module (distributed under the PHP license which is incompatible with GPL - thus it breaks the GPL terms) links against libreadline, then it breaks the GPL.

If you blinked, you probably missed the tenure of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who took the helm of the software group March 24, then resigned less than two weeks later. The quick ouster was prompted by protests from several company staffers, as well as dating site OKCupid, over the fact that Eich had made a $1,000 donation to support California's Proposition 8 a few years ago.
[1]For those who don't remember, Prop 8 was the state's controversial ballot initiative to banned same-sex marriage.
However, rather than get into the topic of gay marriage, I'm actually more interested in what this case and others say about the politics of senior management of various companies, public and private.
We've seen enough examples at this point — publicly, Whole Foods Market (WFM[2]); privately, Barilla and Chick-fil-A — that it raises important questions about free speech and the role of senior management at a company.
Whole Foods Market founder and co-CEO John Mackey came out in support of Prop 8[3], yet received little backlash. Barilla's CEO took heat for comments — which some say were taken out of context — on the subject of gay parents and adoption[4] that didn't sit well with some. Chick-fil-A faced similar controversy.[5]
Free speech is a sacred right of this country, and was one of its founding principles. There's nothing — short of a corporation's own rules — that prevents a CEO or anyone else from expressing their views on any topic they deem fit.
However, the CEO of a company (particularly a public one) does have a superseding obligation to shareholders. It's the price you might have to pay if you want to lead a company.
And as individual donations are part of the public record, it means that if a CEO does want to support a cause financially … well, as far as I'm concerned, he or she had better do it through a political action committee or just remain quiet.
As a shareholder, you should want your CEO to keep a low profile as far as any political issues are concerned. The CEO should be focused on growing the company and improving the stock price.
The only possible exception is if a CEO's personal values directly influence the corporate culture and/or dictate strategic initiatives that directly affect shareholders.
Let's play out the OKCupid-Mozilla conflict from the shareholder perspective.
OKCupid, an online dating service, announces that since Mozilla's CEO once donated to support Prop 8 — a state ballot proposition seeking to preserve traditional marriage — that OKCupid website's could no longer be accessed via Mozilla's Firefox browser.
This is ludicrous on OKCupid's end. It served no business purpose. It wasn't a growth initiative. It wasn't designed to generate revenue. It was an unnecessary distraction away from OKCupid's core business. Worse, it opens up OKCupid management to criticism from First Amendment supporters, permits others to criticize them as being bullies, and also turns out to be hypocritical[6]. This is a potential self-inflicted public relations fiasco.
OKCupid is owned by InterActiveCorp (IACI[7]), so if I'm an IACI shareholder, I'm angry.
As for Mozilla … the fact that it's privately held also permits management to be more active in what it says and does. That's the advantage of not having a stock to pay attention to. It does have to mind the business, and if it felt Eich was that much of a burden, that's its right.
But I have no issue with the fact that the CEO had a stance and donated — he has a right to free speech, and he's not rattling public shareholders.
For what it's worth, I think several publicly traded companies are way too involved in politics. Google (GOOG[8]) and Facebook (FB[9]) lean left. News Corp (NWSA[10]) leans right. NBC is a major subsidiary of Comcast (CMCSA[11]) and its news division leans left.
Of course, when it comes to things like news, it's difficult to separate politics, so you have to live with it. As a shareholder of companies like NWSA and CMCSA, at least I know what I'm getting into.
In general, if you are in the publicly traded spotlight, do your shareholders a favor: Stay quiet and tend to your knitting.
