Macy's to Close Stores
The dire news in the retail sector just keeps coming and coming. Macy's, one of the largest department stores in the country, announced that it will shut down at least 11 underperforming stores across nine states. Up to 960 employees might lose their jobs, though some will be considered for open positions at other locations. Stores in Los Angeles, West Palm Beach, Fla., Nashville, Tenn., and St. Louis are slated to shut down soon.
Macy's December sales were 4 percent lower than a year ago, and down 7.5 percent during the combined November/December holiday period, leading to company officials lowering the expected per-share earnings of Macy's stock for the 4th quarter.
I've never been a big fan of Macy's, but started shopping there a bit more after they took over for Marshall Field's in the Chicago area. I hate to see them closing stores, as it's just another indication of how bad the economy is right now. I'm tired of all the gloom and doom these days… how about some good news for once?

The Brief
Sony Pictures was launching the first Smurfs movie in 35 years and needed a truly newsworthy event which would deliver media interest, guarantee press coverage and communicate to the world that The Smurfs 3D was launching in theatres worldwide.
The Solution
To mark the launch The Smurfs 3D Sony Pictures created Global Smurfs Day on the birthday of Smurfs creator Peyo. To enable Sony Pictures to make Global Smurfs Day an attractive news story, Guinness World Records created a new title for the Most people dressed as Smurfs globally. With thousands of people across four continents joining official Sony Pictures celebrations to don blue face paint with iconic white hat and trousers, the world's media was captivated by the eye-catching imagery. As such Global Smurfs Day, and the worldwide release of The Smurfs 3D, became a global news sensation.
Thank you - this event was a huge success for us!

Intel showed off two notebooks based on its low-cost reference design today at its Developer Forum in Taipei. The PCs are aimed at poor countries as part of a five-year $1bn (about £535m) global initiative designed to ensure nobody is left behind in the digital age.
The latest reference design is aimed at Taiwan, which is an emerging but by no means poor economy. The device is orange, comes with a shoulder strap and is meant for school-age children.
Earlier this year, Intel showed off the first model based on its low-cost reference design. The computer, in the company's signature blue, is aimed at India, Africa, Brazil and other areas. It's already being used as part of a pilot programme in a school in Nigeria, and coincides with the company's WiMax initiative for wireless broadband.
"How do you connect the next billion people to the internet? Not with fibre, not with wires – it's going to be WiMax," said John Antone, Intel's sales and marketing manager for Asia.
A number of developing countries have found that building wireless networks is much easier than digging trenches for wire lines, or hanging them on poles. Mobile phones are one example. In China, people with mobile phones already outnumber those with landlines.
The low-cost laptop design is part of Intel's World Ahead Program, which aims to create affordable hardware, train teachers so they can educate their students, and build wireless internet capability in developing and emerging countries.
The initiative appears to compete with the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project, which is led by Nicholas Negroponte, chairman of OLPC and co-founder of the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Media Laboratory. The project has developed a prototype for a $100 (£54) laptop for use by students in developing countries.
The goal is to offer the laptops in bulk to governments and other education-oriented organisations. The laptop is being manufactured by Taiwan's Quanta Computer, the world's largest contract notebook PC maker.
Intel's low-cost laptops, known as 'Classmate PCs', will be sold by vendors in developing nations from the first quarter of 2007. Intel's reference design should ensure the price is below $400 (£215).

Just recently I watched a movie called "Happy", a documentary about how people around the world define happiness. It was a reminder that happiness is not just about achieving all my goals and acquiring all the money and material possessions.
There are so many people around the world who have far less than we do, but are so much happier. Why is that?
Many people in other countries are happy because they have their family, neighbors, and a supportive, loving community around them. It's not about having that fancy sports car or a million dollars in the bank. Watch any "Real Housewives" episode and you'll witness the unhappiness that exists among the rich and famous. That mansion will only give you a fleeting moment of happiness. Then you'll want and strive for more, more, more.
Happiness is something that resides within you.
This may sound a little "woo woo" for some of you, but it's true. You have the power within you right now to decide that you are going to be happy. Someone could distract you from that happiness momentarily by their actions, but ultimately it's up to you whether or not to be happy.
Happiness is something I want to experience every moment of my life. As much as I think I am happy and live a joyous life, I do admit there are days when I slip into negativity. I tend to experience negativity when I feel that people haven't acted the way I want them to act. It upsets me when they are not happy and joyous about life. Sometimes I take it personal and then I overcompensate by trying everything to "make" them happy.
This is an area of my life that I'd like to personally work on in the upcoming year. What people do cannot dictate my emotions. Instead of being reactive to their negativity, I can choose to be proactive and find a way to turn it into a positive.
Happiness is connecting with Source.
For me, happiness is connecting with and being in the flow of "Source", "God", "The Universe", or whatever you want to call The Omnipresent Energy that surrounds us and is within us. I am able to be in the moment and feel gratitude for everything I have.
What does happiness mean to you?

What are eprints?
Eprints are electronic versions of academic papers. For IR@NAL repository you may submit:
You may submit
We provide here step-by-step instructions to deposit your publications to the IR@NAL repository.
1. by e-mail or
A. Deposit by E-Mail
Use text format file (notepad - *.txt) to enter the information and send it by e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are able to supply electronic copies of your publications in PDF or Word format please send these as attachments. Please note that we can only use the publisher PDF version if this is permitted by the publisher. If you do not have an electronic copy of the full text it may be possible for us to download it via our subscription to the journal (again depending on whether the publisher permits this). If you have only sent bibliographic details and we cannot source a copy of the electronic version we will contact you to ask if you are able to supply this.
Personal web site: Some publishers will permit authors to make copies of their publications available on a personal web site, but not in an institutional repository. If this is the case we can link to copies held on your personal web site. The details of your publication will be made publicly available in the same way as if it was held in our repository. Ideally this option should only be used where deposit in a repository is not permitted.
Bibliographic details only: Where it is not possible for the full text to be made available in the repository or on a personal web site we will only make the bibliographic details available. If possible we will provide a link to an alternative location, e.g. on a publisher?s site. In this case only subscribers to the journal in question will be able to follow the link and access the full text. This means that people searching the repository will be able to find out about your publication, although they will not all be able to access it.
B. Deposit yourself (self-archiving) using the I online submission system
Step 1 : Determine if the publication is eligible for deposit
At least one author must be from NAL
Acceptable document types include:
Conformance to Publisher's Copyright Policy:
Interpreting copyright agreements
Please note: this document can only provide guidelines and should not be relied on for legal advice.
Step 2 :Convert publication to acceptable electronic format
Converting from MS Word to PDF:
If you have access to the full Acrobat product (not just Acrobat Reader) then use Distiller or PDFMaker to "print" from your Word document (or any other application) and produce a PDF file. If your PC does not have Adobe Distiller or PDFMaker, it may be available on some of your department machines.
Step 3 : Deposit the publication
The IR@NAL system will display a confirming message, and send an email to your email account requesting confirmation of your registration.
Checking if the publication is already available in IR@NAL
Before proceeding to deposit your publication to IR@NAL, first check if it already exists. This can be easily done using the search and browse features of IR@NAL. If the publication already exists, you should not submit the publication again.
Deposit your publication

Entering the information:
The information requested includes:
Deposit type (mandatory)
Select the most appropriate type for your deposit. (e.g. preprint, journal article, conference paper, Technical report, etc.)
If the publication you are depositing should be linked to any eprints that have already been deposited in IR@NAL, provide the ID number. This could be where you are depositing a postprint version and you would like it to be linked to the preprint version that is already in the repository. It could also be where the eprint being deposited is a commentary on, or critique of, another publication that has also been deposited in IR@NAL. The ID number is displayed in the brief record of each eprint. Search by author or keyword to find the record. If the publication is not linked to any other eprint, leave these fields blank.
Core Bibliographic Information
After entering all the required information, press the >Next button.
Add document
Upload your document to the IR@NAL server by clicking on the Upload button. For PDF files, select File Upload and click on the Upload button. Browse to find your file. Then click on Upload. For HTML files, select Capture from URL. Provide the URL where this file can be found. This ensures that all hypertext links in the document will work. Use the Security Level field to indicate how widely it should be made available. Select Anyone unless there are reasons to restrict access. Click >Next .
Review your submission details
The Deposit Verification screen displays the brief record for your eprints. Check the record carefully for errors. Pay particular attention to the reference that the system will create for your document from the information your have entered. The reference will be displayed above the PDF link to your document. Check that the reference contains all the appropriate elements (e.g. author, year, title, journal name or book title etc).
Your submission will be checked by the IR@NAL administrator and, after a few days, it will appear in the public repository.

SALT LAKE CITY — While it might be easy for Utah to look past Montana State and ahead to matchups with USC and BYU, the Utes insist they won't.
It's simply a matter of first things first.
"You just take them as they come," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham, who credited the captains for keeping the team's focus on the season opener.
The Utes' short-term goal, he added, is always the next opponent.
Is it something that's easier said than done?
"I think it depends on the maturity level of your team and your leadership. We have very good leadership this year, at least all indications are that we have very good leadership," Whittingham said. "The coaches can preach and preach, but the bottom line is the players have got to buy into it and then it's got to be re-enforced throughout the team by the players themselves. I think our guys have done a very good job of doing that."
Utah elected six captains this year, providing a balance on two fronts. Besides having three seniors and three juniors, the leaders are divided equally from the offense (Tony Bergstrom, Luke Matthews and Jordan Wynn) and defense (Star Lotulelei, Matt Martinez and Chaz Walker).
Whittingham said they've done a great job of keeping everyone on the same page.
"Montana State is the main focus right now and coach emphasizes that in practice and in meetings. Focus on Montana State and don't look forward," Wynn noted. "We have long-term goals and short-terms goals and right now, as Coach Whit said, Montana State is the goal."
It's all about the Bobcats.
Wynn, however, acknowledged it isn't easy.
"It's tough. All this talk about not looking ahead almost puts you looking ahead because it's talked about so much," he said. "But I think we do a good job here of truly not looking ahead."
Montana State, he noted, is a good football team.
"We expect them to come out and play hard and we're going to have to play a pretty good game to win," Wynn continued.
Defensive tackle Dave Kruger said the coaching staff has kept the team focused on the task at hand.
"You've got to win one game at a time. That's all you can do," Kruger explained. "So you might as well focus on that week."
Montana State, though, is a departure from recent season-openers. The last time Utah kicked things off against a team currently in the Football Championship Subdivision was 1988 against Idaho State.
Since then, the Utes have opened against teams like Arizona State, Fresno State, Nebraska, Oregon, Texas A&M and Washington State. In Whittingham's tenure as head coach, they've started seasons against Arizona, UCLA, Oregon State, Michigan, Utah State and Pittsburgh.
"A team gets excited about an opener regardless of who it is. We don't really care who it is," Whittingham said. "That's just the anticipation and just so many months of looking forward to getting the chance to play again. So we're not really concerned with who we open with, we'd just like to get the season started."
Montana State, though, has Utah's respect.
"The Bobcats were one of the best teams in all of the FCS last year and they have our full attention," Whittingham said in this week's media release. "We feel good about the progress we made in fall camp and we are ready for the season to get under way.
"Opening at home in Rice-Ecles Stadium in front of a standing-room only crowd is something that both our players and coaches are looking forward to," he added.
There are several storylines for Utah fans to follow in the opener, such as:
How will Wynn's shoulder and Norm Chow's offensive scheme hold up?
Can John White IV get the job done at running back?
What about Utah's new starting secondary?
Will the focus really be on Montana State and not next week's Pac-12 opener at USC?
After months of anticipation, the answers will soon be revealed.

Last year I completed my first Kickstarter campaign to help get The Hero Code published.
Originally set out as a way of getting an off-set print run of the book completed, when I lost my day job, it became a means of helping finish the last few pages of production and still get a good sized print run of the book done.
Always ready to share experiences and offer advice on these matters, I wanted to write up a kind of overview of the process, and perhaps offer up some ideas for people thinking of doing a campaign, and sounding out some future ideas if I decide to do another one.
I will make something clear here and now. I am by no means an expert on this subject. The only difference between me and someone who either hasn't started a campaign, or whose campaign didn't meet it's goal, is that mine did. I do not know how or why (aside from the obvious generosity of it's backers!) and think that there is a danger in thinking that there is some magic technique to all of this. I can offer advice as to what I think will help, but cannot guarantee anything! In fact, for a large chunk of the time I was running the campaign, I genuinely thought it didn't stand a chance of meeting it's goal.
A lot of this article will be talking about the area that I have experience in, namely a campaign for a comic book. It may translate over to other areas, but quite possibly not.
First, I think it needs to be clear exactly what it is that you are campaigning to kickstart.
Before you even get to applying to Kickstarter (it's an application process, which can take a few days) you need to be clear with yourself what the end result of the campaign is working towards.
If it is for a single issue of a book - focus on that. A trade, again focus on that. Is it the production or publication?
Know this before you start, and you have a better chance of knowing what amount you are actually campaigning towards.
If it's for a single issue of a book, are you looking to do a large off-set print or a small print run? Knowing this will allow you to get a fuller quote as to what something like this will cost.
Is it colour or black and white? How many pages? What stock paper?
Plan as much about what the end product will actually be as you can. Know the result, and then get a number of quotes so that you know what the target is that you are aiming for.
Once you know this, you can start to get an idea of what figure you will need to raise to run a successful campaign.
Some things to factor in:
* Kickstarter and Amazon (who process the payments for Kickstarter) both take a cut. It roughly works out to be 10%
* Shipping and handling. You will need to send out the rewards to backers. Think about what you'll be sending them in, and what method you'll be using. Bulk buying sturdy envelopes can save a lot of money, as can using on-line postage services (ie paying and printing out the postage before going to the post office). Also, registered post is a lot cheaper when bought online than at a postoffice - and having a tracking number for a package can save you down the line.
*Overseas shipping will cost more. A lot of people factor this into the campaign, by either asking for a higher backing or offering an overseas option to backers.
*Production costs of rewards. Not just the book (for example) but sundry items. T-shirts cost a lot to produce, and add to shipping costs. An action figure may sound great, but remember, this is a campaign for a comic book!
*Getting more than 200 backers and a high (from memory, but please correct me if wrong, $8,000) figure in a campaign can mean that you are responsible to declare the campaign as taxable earnings.
Make it easy
One thing I have noticed as a backer of lots of campaigns, I like an easy in. That is, there should be a very clear and obvious reward bracket which offers the item, and just the item, at an appealing amount.
Numerically speaking, the majority of backers will be at the $25 and less levels of rewards. You may make more money elsewhere with more bespoke options, but to keep it simple, try to encourage casual backers to get onboard with a nice entry level rewards.
A low cost digital edition is also a great idea as a low cost, low risk reward.
Also, too many rewards, or too complex a series of rewards, or too many variations on the same value of rewards can be off-putting. They should progress naturally, the more you back, the more you get.
In the house
Something to consider, if there is a way of keeping the production of the rewards as "in house" as possible, aim for that. Keeping your costs down means more money towards the campaign itself.
If you have a button maker, fantastic! Silk-screen t-shirts? Marvelous!
Every little helps.
Your reward structure and amount to be raised should be mutually beneficial to a degree. A good idea is to set up (mentally) a two-tiered reward structure. The first tier, the lower side, should make your target reachable - if you wanted to run a campaign with just these rewards, you could.
The second tier should be more bespoke, inventive and look to bring in large chunks of the target amount from less people.
For example, with comics you can offer some of the following:
* Original artwork.
* Likenesses in current or future issues (this is a pretty great reward, as it is special to the backer, and cost effective to create)
* Sketch covers or character sketches.
One idea I have been toying with for either a future campaign, or even as a possible offer from the Monkey Pipe Studios store, is to have a unique cover - a one off cover, appearing on that one copy of that issue only. You could include the original artwork along with the issue too.
Some people don't feel comfortable with the idea of running a Kickstarter campaign. I have seen some comments which question the validity of the service.
On the other hand, I have seen a few people use the service as almost a pre-order service.
One criticism of this is that it doesn't take into account the added cost of running a Kickstarter campaign.
By the same token, Kickstarter provides a brand awareness that perhaps you alone do not have, and a reach you might lack individually. Ask yourself is that worth the cost of the campaign? Can you consider it almost like an advertisement cost?
Some final things to consider:
With Kickstarter you will only receive funding if the campaign is a success. Does that mean it is best to aim lower to ensure success, and then push higher?
Running a campaign can be a lot of work. You will need to push hard to get the campaign out there. I had a lot of success with twitter, and with a few small-press news sites - the later really pushed me over the finish line at the end of the campaign.
If you are looking to put out a book, consider that the campaign may see you reach a limit as to how many readers your book will reach. You may find yourself in the same boat for future issues.
Are you comfortable shilling? It will feel like you are spending a couple of months spamming people, and some people may feel that is the case.
For the duration of the campaign make it as easy as possible for people to get to the page. If you mention it on a social network, link back to the campaign. Any profiles should be altered to include that link. I have seen a couple of people mention that they are running a campaign, but with no clear link to it. The update service should be used as a process blog. I perhaps went a little overboard with posts, but a good amount will keep interest up, and keep the campaign feeling alive.
Finally, be ready to get the rewards out in a reasonable time frame, and if you can't let people know why and what changes in time frame should be expected.
Would I do it again? I would. I found it to be an easy as a service. I'm not totally confident of success, which is a good thing, surely - complacency would be terrible.

Westover Police released security camera photos in connection with a bank robbery that occurred January 3.
It happened at the WesBanco on Commerce Drive around 1 p.m.
Police described the robber as a light-skinned male, about 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, wearing a faded blue "West Virginia" sweatshirt and jeans.
It was the third armed bank robbery in Westover during the month of January in three years.
If you have any information, contact Westover Police at 304-296-6576.
Westover Police said they are looking at possible connections between Thursday's armed bank robbery and others in the city within the past two years.
Thursday's incident occurred at the WesBanco on Commerce Drive shortly before 1 p.m. It was the first at the WesBanco, but armed robberies have occurred at the United Bank in Westover during the first week of January each of the previous two years.
Police described Thursday's robber as being a male standing 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 10 inches, a similar description as the robbers in 2011 and 2012.
Police said Thursday's robber was light skinned, wearing a faded blue "West Virginia" sweatshirt and jeans, and got away with an undisclosed amount of money.
Police used the State Police's K-9 unit to follow leads based on witness accounts and made several traffic stops, but no arrests.
WesBanco has since reopened.
Original Story

I'm thinking of doing a weeks riding there has anyone been biking in this area? If so is it worth going over say the alps or Lake Garda which I'm also considering. Both Saddle Skedaddle and Cycleactive seem to do good trips to Spain and Italy. Might do both!
Bike Forum
Picos - Northern Spain
Often go there on family holidays, taken the bikes 3 out of 5 times now. When we went we found there to be a lot of great trails, only problem was actually finding them, and once you have found them, you could be going along fine, then all of a sudden the path would end. Which did get quite annoying at times. We found the bikes very useful for just going around the lanes to the beach, shops etc... I know there is some amazing trails, but it is just finding them, going with Saddle Skedaddle would make it very worth while. I'd do that!
Don't know how you were going over, but we took the ferry and car, from Plymouth to Santandair. That proved to be very sucessfull!
Been several times. There's plenty of trails in the area. Don't know how it compares with Alps but I'll tell you when I get back from Chamonix in a month's time.
Here's a link to a Spanish website in English with lots of trails in that neck of the woods, including a couple of long 'uns in the Picos....
Fantastic area, I loved it there in general. The biking is low-ish on singletrack compared with the Alps, I went with Skedaddle. They really look after you, great accomodation and food. The riding is a little on the tame side to be honest but, overall one of the best trips I've been on - depends what you want I guess. I did the trans-picos trip btw.
Have done the skedaddle trip staying in a farmhouse near Potes for a week - like wooodsman said the riding was not extreme (esp compared to somewhere like Morzine)but a good mix including some climbing but I enjoyed the holiday more - accomodation, guides and food were great and fantastic scenery - much more unspoilt than the Alps, and very relaxing.
Riding may have changed a bit as its about 6 years since I went.
We added a week at the coast on the end of our trip which was really nice too.
we are going without bikes in june/july,
try the link
which we looked at, looks good
Years ago when a bike was a bike we went through touring
We did a monster day ride right across the midde. Not technical but brilliant day.
A few days later my mate and I went for an evening road ride. We ended up getting the cable car to the top, my only ever up lift. The descent we did was just a track (but very hard work in those days of rigid forks) but its all very beautiful. I can't imagine that a guiding company wouldn't have found some great stuff
Climate wise I would say its cooler than Italy, its close to the Atlantic. A good bet mid summer if you don't like it too hot
A good mate from here has just returned from the Picos. He said it was great and the trails were fantastic. They were guided by a local while they were there. He rides and likes the harder stuff that we have here which is full-on tricky singletrack e.g. so I guess he's been riding similar stuff there, I haven't spoken to him in depth about it yet. He won't have routes or anything but if you want I could ask him for some general info about what the riding's like, mail me if you want.
I'm probably leaning more towards the Picos especially as its a relatively unspoilt area compared to Lake Garda. The Saddle Skedaddle Trans Picos trip is what I'm considering although I don't want the riding to be too tame..ish! I guess I'll give Saddle a call for more info. Doug those pics in the link are stunning Thanks all for your info.

Put away those cleats and break out the ice skates.
A major winter storm dumped several inches of snow in Philadelphia on Saturday, forcing hundreds of stadium workers into duty to clear out Lincoln Financial Field before today's NFC championship game between the Eagles and Atlanta Falcons.
Across the state, just a few inches of snow fell in Pittsburgh one day before the Steelers hosted the New England Patriots in the AFC title game at Heinz Field.
Workers clear snow from the the Philadelphia Eagles' home field during a winter storm Saturday, Jan. 22, 2005, in preparation for Sunday's NFC championship between the Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons.
The Falcons arrived in Philadelphia early Saturday afternoon after moving their flight up 41/2 hours to avoid travel delays. The Patriots averted any problems by leaving Friday night.
"I think when it's all said and done, it comes down to playing the game," Eagles coach Andy Reid said.
However, slippery field conditions could work in Philadelphia's favor against Atlanta's strong running attack, neutralizing quarterback Michael Vick's speed and elusiveness and slowing speedy running back Warrick Dunn.
"I think he'll have more of an advantage if it's good footing out there," Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse said of Vick. "Hopefully, it'll be bad footing for someone like Vick."
Steelers running back Jerome Bettis welcomed a wet surface in Pittsburgh, though he wasn't expected to get his wish.
"I'm a mudder," he said. "A fast track doesn't do much for me. The worse the field, the better for me."
About one foot snow was expected to fall in Philadelphia before today's 3 p.m. kickoff, but city officials said the field and stadium should be completely cleared out. More than 750 workers were on standby with 975 shovels and 65 tons of ice-melt. The field at the Linc was covered by a tarp and heated to 70 degrees.
As many as 200 workers stayed busy at Heinz Field cleaning snow off seats and ramps. The field, also covered with a tarp, was not likely to be affected.
Once the snow clears out, a game-time temperature of 18 with a minus-7 wind chill factor is predicted in Philadelphia. Forecasters are calling for 16-degree temperatures and a wind chill around 10 for the early evening game in Pittsburgh.
The cold weather is nothing out of the ordinary for late January and three of the teams are accustomed to dealing with harsh elements. The Falcons, however, play in a dome.
"I think that both teams have to go out and handle the environment, no matter what that environment is," Atlanta rookie coach Jim Mora said. "When you're a good football team, and I think that these are two good football teams, the environment is a factor that other people worry about more than the players on the field and the coaches on the sideline. I think that to be great, you have to be able to play in any conditions."

From Tweets to the Streets: #YesAllWomen Actions Planned in Major Cities
In the recent days after the Isla Vista shootings, women have used various social media tactics to raise public consciousness around systematic misogyny — ultimately illustrating that the violence inflicted by Elliot Rodger was not simply the act of a lone madman, but part of the societal oppression they face on a daily basis.
Created to show that while 'not all men' commit violent acts toward women, all women have experienced violent acts by men, #YesAllWomen has garnered the most attention with more than one million people using the hashtag to share their thoughts and experiences with gendered violence. In addition to #YesAllWomen, a new tumblr page was formed to collect stories of violence inflicted on women who reject sexual advances. Called When Women Refuse, the page shares photos and links to news stories of these women — many of whom are no longer alive to speak for themselves.
While this online activism shows no signs of slowing, some organizers believe this is a pivotal moment to let women's voices be heard out loud in the streets. That's why organizers in five cities — New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, Portland and Seattle — have quickly organized #YesAllWomen actions to be held Friday and Saturday.
"What's being tapped into is really a deep, profound well of fury and pain, and I think this is very important to have come out on the Internet — the hashtag #YesAllWomen has given voice to that," said Sunsara Taylor of Stop Patriarchy, a national movement against all forms of degradation of women, and the group behind the NYC and SF events. "But it's also extremely important that people manifest in the streets. That this feeling is not allowed to be defused. That this actually becomes the motivation for people to look at the nature of the society we live in to confront the fact that there is a war on women. And to find each other and to find our voices and find our outrage and find new community and resistance actually in the streets. So we have the feeling that it's time to go from the social media and the tweets and into the street and make this felt."
Taylor said that because society frequently tells women who experience violence that they put themselves in that position, women often understand what happened to them as an individual problem and remain silent. But as the recent activism has inspired women to speak out, it is illustrating that the problem is a structural one.
"A lot of women who have buried or tried to contain the trauma and the pain and the horrors that they have been through and that those who they know have been through — a lot of that is erupting and coming to the surface," Taylor said. "And it's absolutely important that that be given vocal, visual expression and that that be a way to challenge and wake others up that they should no longer go along either and they should join in."
Stop Patriarchy is focused on simply getting people out to the actions to meet and engage with one another. Signs and statements are also welcomed. The crowd can then determine if they want to have a moment of silence, have a space to speak out and/or take to the streets.
While violence against women is deeply ingrained in our society, Taylor said, it is by no means permanent — and taking to the streets is one of the most important steps in organizing for change.
"There are a lot of horrors that women face, but it is profoundly liberating, profoundly uplifting to be part of standing up together with others who refuse to accept this," Taylor said. "Until people call this out and say, 'this has to stop,' it's going to keep happening."

The first Boeing 787 permitted to fly since Jan. 16 landed at Everett's Paine Field this morning after a "ferry flight" from Fort Worth, Texas, where it was being painted in advance of a planned delivery to China Southern Airlines. The Federal Aviation Administration authorized the plane to make a single, direct flight from Fort Worth Meacham International Airport to Everett, on condition Boeing took specified safety measures and the plane only carried the necessary crew. Neither test flights nor regular passenger flights have been allowed since two battery malfunctions last month led the FAA to order the planes grounded.

Since 2001, Hamas has fired over 10,000 rockets and mortar rounds at Israel. Last week, to protect its citizens from these indiscriminate attacks, the Israeli launched extensive military operations to root out the Hamas launching sites and military stores. These events have resulted in a destructive, protracted conflict. If Israel had an effective way to shoot down the incoming rockets and mortars, it might have felt less obligated to take extensive measures in defense of its citizens and territory. Likewise, Hamas would have seen the value of its military force greatly diminished.
Directed-energy weapons (such as lasers) provide a proven capacity to interdict rockets, artillery, and mortars. Together the United States and Israel have the technologies necessary to field these weapons. Fielding defenses now would lessen the potential for future armed conflicts. The Pentagon should aggressively press forward in deploying prototype systems that can protect populations and devalue and deter threats such as those posed by Hamas.
War Again!
Since violently seizing power in Gaza two years ago, Hamas has escalated its confrontation with Israel by building more sophisticated military infrastructure, smuggling in longer-range Katyusha-style rockets (similar to those used by Hezbollah during its border war with Israel in 2006), and routinely violating a truce negotiated in June 2008. Israeli officials estimated that 12 percent of their population--over 800,000 civilians--were in range of indiscriminate Hamas rocket or mortar attacks. In response, last week Israel felt compelled to undertake military operations to significantly degrade the threat posed by the Hamas weapons.
Israel's military response was necessary, appropriate, and focused specifically on Hamas military capabilities as well as associated personnel and facilities used in planning and conducting attacks on Israeli civilians. Despite cautions taken to limit damage, civilian casualties were inevitable. Gaza is a densely populated area not much bigger than a mid-sized American city, and Hamas has interwoven its political and military infrastructure throughout the city and surrounding villages. The Israeli military response, however, was prompted in part by the lack of any other practical alternative to deal with the rocket threat.
Defenses Wanting
For years the United States and Israel have been testing directed-energy defenses capable of shooting down short range rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds in mid-air before they could strike their targets. Two such systems have undergone research and evaluation: chemical lasers and solid-state, adapting commercial lasers. Chemical lasers are a proven 30-year-old technology, though the systems required to generate power for the laser are bulky, complicated, and not terribly mobile. More recently, the U.S. has tested military applications for solid-state, adapting commercial lasers for battlefield use. Currently, these solid-state lasers are effective only at low power. Both technologies, however, are mature enough that prototypes could be fielded in short order and would be effective in providing static defenses of areas such as population centers. In addition, the current generation of potential directed energy defenses:
- Come with an almost infinite magazine--as long as the weapons have power, they can be recharged and fired again;
- Can be aimed effectively using existing target acquisition systems (such as radars and optics like night-vision goggles); and
- Can be employed with a minimum of risk toward surrounding civilians, buildings, or vehicles (such as aircraft, cars, and ships).
The Pentagon, however, has been agonizingly slow in fielding operational prototypes. This must change. There are real-world missions, such as the defense of Israeli population centers, for which laser weapons are needed right now. Additionally, fielding prototypes is essential for developing the appropriate tactics, techniques, and procedures for employing these new capabilities. Unless the military gets these new technologies in the field, it is doubtful the full potential of such weapons will ever be realized. Additionally, further delays make it unlikely that a constituency will develop within the military to strongly advocate for developing and fielding directed-energy weapons.
Opportunity for New Administration
The new Administration has opportunity to introduce a "game changer" in the current Middle East conflict by helping speed the fielding of prototype defenses that can devalue the threat of terrorist missile and artillery arsenals. The Department of Defense should stand up a task force to spearhead the acquisition and deployment of operational prototypes for use by all the military services as well as friendly and allied nations such as Israel. Congress should fully fund this effort. Building these new weapons may be one of the most powerful contributions to peace in the Middle East that the United States could make in the near future.

"Eventually Santa Monica has to grow out towards this way, it has to expand out eventually. And I'm not too far from the main activity, so I took a chance."
"We know that Santa Monica had been in contact with Pasadena to see how the task force came back. And there has been some interest from Council member (Bobby) Shriver in bringing something similar to Santa Monica."
"[First, Monica.] What I had done with Monica Lewinsky was immoral and foolish, ... I was deeply ashamed of it and I didn't want it to come out. In the deposition, I was trying to protect my family and myself from my selfish stupidity. I believed that the contorted definition of 'sexual relation' enabled me to do so."
"If they're gong to call Monica Lewinsky, it makes sense that they know what in fact she's going to be testifying about,"
"If they're gong to call Monica Lewinsky, it makes sense that they know what in fact she's going to be testifying about."

In his first training camp as Jaguars general manager, Gene Smith has had two weeks to evaluate the players he assembled. As the Jaguars prepare to open the preseason Monday night in Miami, Smith offered his assessment of what he's seen at camp in a Q&A with the Times-Union's Vito Stellino.
What are your overall impressions of the first two weeks of camp?
The one thing that caught my eye is the detail to discipline, the eagerness out of all of the players, not just the young players. A lot of that has to do with competitiveness we have on this roster right now. There are a lot of positions that are still wide open in terms of who's competing for certain spots.
Which battles have caught your eye?
Certainly, we're trying to get your best offensive linemen on the field, trying to get your four best defensive linemen on the field. I know on offense, the question mark has been the receiver group. We have some guys who can be capable starters. Torry [Holt] for one has done a lot of things the younger players can emulate.
Is rookie Eben Britton pushing Tony Pashos at tackle?
Eben has improved. But we have not seen him in the games. He'll get that opportunity. I think Tony has done some good things. I know as a group with the injuries occurring early and often, we didn't perform to the level we would like to have up front last year. I feel the group this year will be an asset to us.
Will Vince Manuwai be back at full strength?
I think he's on schedule. He's been cleared 100 percent medically. We've limited him to one a day to ensure that he's ready for the regular season.
Before Eugene Monroe ended his holdout, how was Tra Thomas looking?
Tra Thomas has performed like a starter. We do have tackle depth. Even Jordan Black who missed a year, you've seen a guy getting back to who he was a couple of years ago. We've got a nice competitive group at offensive tackle.
How has Derrick Harvey looked?
To me, he's looked good. If you were to say last week who played the best of that group on the edge, that would have been him and Reggie Hayward. He's got a better feel for what we're doing scheme-wise up front [after holding out last year]. One thing he had coming out of college was excellent snap anticipation. Obviously he arrived late last year and you didn't see the snap anticipation. And then I think he's stronger. He's a guy who's 280 pounds and is moving like he did in college.
Is John Henderson coming along?
I'd say coming along is a good way to put it. He's had some practices where he's shown the ability to be who he was in 2007. Obviously, last year was a disappointing season for him. I think he has higher expectations for himself [this year].
Jack Del Rio has said he would like Rob Meier to be a swing player at tackle. Is anybody emerging as a possible starter?
I think the one guy that has emerged is Atiyyah Ellison, but again, we've got to get him into games. He's at a point in his career where he needs to make a step up. He's a talented guy. Why he didn't ascend earlier, I don't know. At some point in their careers, they either do or they don't. We hope this is a do year for him.
Mike Walker has been out a week with an ankle injury. What's his status?
We hope it doesn't linger on. It's not a severe ankle injury.
Is Walker favored to win the starting job when he's healthy?
Right now we have three guys [Holt, Walker and Troy Williamson] who have sustained it.
Are you worried about Jarett Dillard's drops?
That's not something I'm overly concerned about. There's nobody who is more prideful than him. He's one of those guys, like Tiquan Underwood, who comes in early and stays late.
David Garrard has thrown a few interceptions. How do you evaluate his camp?
He's had some practices that are as good as he's ever had. Now, he is going to have some bad days. If you have a bad day, you want to see him rebound and I think he did. What you're looking for is consistency. He's having a very good camp.
What about the secondary?
It's been a bright spot. Rashean [Mathis] has looked good. Brian Williams has looked good at the right corner and nickel spot. Derek Cox has been nursing a groin, but he's looked good. Tyron Brackenridge has had his hands on some balls. We've got a nice group of corners.
You're set a linebacker. Are they performing up to expectations?
I think the one guy who's taken the next step is Clint Ingram. Justin Durant feels like home at the Mike [middle linebacker spot]. And Daryl [Smith] is Daryl. He might be our most complete linebacker.
So how would you sum up your feelings about the team?
Cautiously optimistic. For the most part, you see a lot of positives out there.

An image intensifier amplifies light and increases the brightness of an image. This device converts X-ray images formed at the fluorescent coating on the larger end of the tube into a pattern of electrons. The electrons are accelerated and reproduce the image on another smaller fluorescent screen at the other end of the tube. The effect makes the final image over 10,000 times brighter than the original.

Active Learning Classrooms (ALCs) are designed to foster interactive, flexible, student-centered learning experiences, and operate using central teaching stations and student-provided laptops.
Active Learning Classrooms on the Twin Cities Campus
Over the last few years, substantial energy and research has been invested in ALCs on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, including a building comprised of many ALCs. The Twin Cities campus ALC is a modification of the "SCALE-UP" (Student Centered Activities for Large Enrollment Undergraduate Program) concept that originated at North Carolina State University and the TEAL (Technology Enhanced Active Learning) concept at MIT, and uses an adaptation of the Projection Capable Classrooms (PCC) technology system.
A full description of ALC rooms and research findings showing a positive impact on student outcomes can be found at:
Active Learning Classrooms on the UMD Campus

Really good litter posted on 02/12/2012 by Freya
Ive been using this for ages and will definitely keep using it I have 2 large cats and a deep litter box I often find that one bag of normal cat litter is not big enough for the litter box So I put a layer of this litter in and a full bag of normal silicone cat litter on top The wood litter is great because its all natural smells clean and fresh and Ive noticed that its very effective at mopping up any er liquid that manages to seep through the silicone layer which means that my cats stay comfortable and the litter is more hygienic
Great value posted on 16/07/2012 by John
From now on I'll be ordering from Pet Planet Amazing value for money
