1.35 Newmarket
Afandem, fourth in a hot Doncaster event, and Ayr Listed winner Clem Fandango both arrive in excellent form, while Naas scorer Courage Under Fire is respected given the might of his connections. However, MRS DANVERS (Best price 2-1) has enjoyed an extraordinary season and can complete a wonderful nap hand of victories. Jonathan Portman's filly is versatile ground wise and displays an admirable attitude which was again on show at Newbury in Listed company last time when proving too strong for Equimou. She has been given time to recover from those exertions and can win the opener.£10 Free Credit and a £500 Deposit Bonus
2.05 Newmarket
Andre Fabre is always to be respected on his forays across the Channel so, given that he won this race three years ago with Miss France, DOUBLE LADY (Best price 3-1) could prove the answer to a compelling race. Fabre's daughter of Stormy Place looked a classy juvenile in the making when scoring smoothly at Maisons-laffitte and, given that form has begun to work out well, she should go close especially as she seem likely to enjoy a good tow into the race courtesy of impressive Salisbury scorer Poet's Vanity. The last-named shouldn't be underestimated as she blitzed her rivals last time and could be a dangerous rival to afford a lengthy early lead.
2.40 Newmarket
Last year's winner Cable Bay boasted many of the characteristics displayed by JALLOTA (Best price 9-1) prior to winning this, so trainer Charlie Hills looks likely to have targeted the ultra-consistent five-year-old at this race for a while. As well as Cable Bay, Hills has also sent out a couple of placed horses in this event in recent years so Jallota appears the type to keep on side providing recent trips to France and Italy haven't taken the edge off him. Today's conditions look perfect and he seems likely to have a good pace to run at late on.
3.10 Newmarket
This race poses a scenario which may seem familiar for punters; are we seduced by an exciting Godophin youngster or do we stick with the tough-as-teak Ballydoyle battalions to deliver yet again at the highest level. SOBETSU (Best price 5-2) just gains the nod as she routed her field in a truly-run course and distance maiden last time and looks a high-class filly in the making. She faces stiff competition though from the Aidan O'Brien-duo Rhododendron and Hydrangea who are closely matched on their running at the Curragh last time. Spatial also looks a major player as she was runner-up on debut to Sunday's Group 1 winner Wuheida in a race which is working out well (Sobetsu backward in 3rd) before duly winning in style next time so looks a chief threat.
3.45 Newmarket
This race is arguably one of the best handicaps of its type this season with a host of multiple winners in opposition. Therefore, NEW CALEDONIA (Best price 12-1) can only be a tentative selection in a race chock full of progressive types. The selection won an Ascot handicap in a strong time from DANEHILL KODIAC (Best price 12-1) before finding the soft ground against him last time when third to Southdown Lad. He could be a typical Mark Johnston handicapper who bounces back to winning ways today. Given his proximity to the selection at Ascot, it would be folly to overlook the claims of the consistent Danehill Kodiac who should also have conditions to suit and is worthy of an investment given the form of his last race is working out well.
2.20 York
Raising Sand has struck form since being united with George Baker and Jamie Osborne's charge will rightly be popular for this fiercely-contested handicap following his Ascot win. However, but HOME CUMMINS (Best price 16-1) often saves her best for this track and could be ready to bounce back to form after one or two subdued efforts. Her defeat of Cambridgeshire-fifth Celestial Path on the Knavesmire in July was achieved in a rapid speed figure and she could be a spot of value to regain her best form. Fort Bastion is becoming very well treated again and is respected along with course specialist ONE WORD MORE (Best price ) who was third to Home Cummins over course and distance in that July handicap. The latter is also worth a small wager with confidence tempered by his wide draw.
3.25 York
Newmarket and York host a couple of belting staying handicaps today and CAPE COVA (Best price 8-1) is fancied to maintain his progression by landing the one held on the Knavesmire. A good winner of a Doncaster handicap which is working out well, the selection looks just the type his handler excels with and the handicapper may not have his measure given the horse he beat on Town Moor has won since. Both of his career wins have been achieved in strong speed figures and his yard continue to churn out the winners.

I AM supporting a charity called The Eve Appeal.
This great charity was launched in 2005 and raises funds to support gynaecological cancer research.
This March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month – and The Eve Appeal is asking women all over the UK to 'Make Time for TEA' (TEA standing for The Eve Appeal), have a great time with close friends and raise much-needed funds at the same time.
The campaign really is that straightforward.
People like me and all readers are being encouraged to pop the kettle on and organise their very own 'Make Time for TEA' party, any day of the week in March.
The charity has put together a great fundraising pack full of inspiring ideas on how to hold your own TEA party.
Now in its seventh year, the campaign has a Vintage theme, so we are asking readers to dust down their porcelain tea set, pop on a pretty tea-dress and have a fun afternoon with the girls.
I will be hosting my own 'Make Time for TEA' party too and very much look forward to having a good old natter with my friends whilst raising funds at the same time.
On a more serious note, awareness and fundraising are paramount if we are to fight this deadly disease.
Together, though, we can make a difference.
This great charity has already contributed £4.7m to research since it launched.
And nothing would please me more if your readers took part in this campaign to help them beat their target of 500 UK tea parties to reach their financial goal of £150,000.
So what do readers need to do to get involved? Just call The Eve Appeal on (020) 7299 4430 or visit www.eveappeal.org.uk/maketimefortea for your very own fundraising pack.
And who knows, I might get to meet a reader because I am offering a VIP prize for this campaign.
Three lucky party holders with a guest will visit the filming of Lorraine at the ITV Studios in London followed by brunch at a top hotel in the capital.
If I can have one final word it is this: please go online today to download your pack because you really can make an impact.

A year ago, I would have been hard pressed to decide whether I thought the Yahoo! board or the HP board was more hopeless. A year later, both have managed to appoint excellent CEOs–finally. And both happen to be women–finally. Yahoo!'s board gets extra style points for, at least publicly, not giving a hoot that Marissa is expecting this fall (see New CEO's Pregnancy Was Not an Issue for Yahoo Board – Kara Swisher – News – AllThingsD). It just shouldn't matter. There was a rough three months when I was both a tech company CEO and hospitalized for a bone infection (wisdom teeth are evil). After spending more time in Stanford University Hospital than most healthy mothers do during and after childbirth, I ended up distracted with antibiotics and IVs for three months. Other than politely checking in on my health, my board could not have cared less–and certainly they didn't question my fit for the job because of it. Why should it be any different for a woman expecting a baby? At least she has the benefit of being able to plan in advance! This qualifies as a pleasant turn of events in the all-too-often male-dominated tech world.
It's About Damn Time (Pregnancy, CEOs, etc.)

Description of the condition
In 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that more than 161 million people worldwide were visually impaired, with 124 million classified as having low vision and 37 million classified as blind (defined as visual acuity less than 3/60 in the better-seeing eye (World Health Organization 2004). In children, prevalence of blindness varies from 0.3/1000 in high-income countries to over 1.0/1000 in low- and middle-income countries, equating to around 1.4 million blind children worldwide (Gilbert 2001; World Health Organization 2000). Low vision is about twice as common as childhood blindness, and might affect almost 3 million children worldwide (Gilbert 2008a; Gilbert 2008b).
The leading causes of low vision in children worldwide are retinal conditions, corneal scarring (vitamin A deficiency, measles, harmful traditional practices), globe anomalies, cataract, optic nerve anomalies, glaucoma, and central nervous system disorders (Gilbert 2001). A recent study in Nepal identified corneal disease as the leading cause of visual impairment followed by retinal disease and lens pathology. In 46% of children, however, the cause of visual loss could not be identified (Shrestha 2012). In high-income countries, brain damage sustained around the time of birth has become the leading cause of severe visual impairment (Bodeau-Livinec 2007; Mitry 2013; Rahi 2003). In England and Wales, the commonest conditions in children with impaired, but not severely impaired sight, are hereditary retinal conditions or congenital globe abnormalities (Mitry 2013).
In the UK, there are an estimated 25,000 children with vision impairment (VI) or severe vision impairment/blindness (SVI/BL) (Morris 2008). The cumulative incidence of SVI/BL by 16 years of age is 5.9, and that of VI around 7 per 10,000 live births (Bodeau-Livinec 2007; Rahi 2003). About 950 new cases of VI or SVI/BL are diagnosed each year (Bodeau-Livinec 2007).
Children are considered to have 'low vision' when the corrected visual acuity (VA) is between less than 6/18 and light perception in their better eye, or their visual field is less than 10 degrees from the point of fixation, but they use, or are potentially able to use, vision for the planning or execution, or both, of a task (World Health Organization 1992). There is an overlap with the definitions of VI and SVI/BL. The exact definition of childhood blindness is variable, but usually ranges between a best-corrected visual acuity of less than 6/60 to 3/60 in the better-seeing eye in a young person age under the age of 15 years (Gilbert 2001; World Health Organization 2004).
Visual impairment can result in developmental delay by reducing the range of experiences to which the child is exposed. Early assessment with provision and training of low vision aids (LVAs) is essential to improve functional vision and adaptation to visual impairment, so allowing most children to enter and remain in mainstream schools (Ducrey 1998; Massof 1998; Silver 1976a). In the UK, approximately 70% of children with VI are educated in mainstream schools where the use of LVAs to enable use of printed educational materials is essential (Morris 2008). In the developing world, access to enlarged print, or methods to enlarge text (i.e. computers or photocopiers) is more spartan, and magnifiers can be provided as a cheaper and more transportable option for children with low vision. Epidemiological studies in Pakistan have demonstrated that provision of basic magnification aids would permit at least 11% of children currently educated in schools for the blind to be moved to mainstream schooling (Sight Savers International 2003). This estimate, however, was based on a sample of 1000 children in schools for the blind and was subject to selection bias due to the small percentage of children with low vision currently being educated in special schools in low- and middle-income countries; the overall potential for improvement is significantly higher. In Nepal, optical intervention provided a significant improvement to the vision of 48.2% of children in schools for the blind, enabling those learning braille to learn to read visually, or visually in conjunction with braille (Gnyawali 2012). Despite this improvement however, only 34.8% of children were still using their LVA one year later. Damage or loss was the most common reason reported for cessation of use; however, inadequate instruction and inappropriate setting/lighting were also reported, both of which highlight the vital importance of maintenance of equipment - however basic - and instruction to enable its use (Gnyawali 2012).
Description of the intervention
LVAs can be defined as any device that enables a person with low vision to improve visual performance. LVAs can be classified into optical aids (magnifiers) and electronic 'assistive technologies' (AT). Non-optical aids (filters, tinted lenses and coloured overlays) are also sometimes used to enhance vision, but are less frequently used in children with visual impairment and will, therefore, not be included in this review.
Commonly used optical aids include:
magnifiers: hand and stand magnifiers, with and without illumination; in general, the higher the magnification the greater the restriction of visual field
high dioptric power reading glasses or near adds in bifocal glasses (above +4.00 DS and up to +20.00 DS)
distance telescopes or binoculars: a hand-held or spectacle-mounted lens system that provides magnification at greater distance
electronic magnification: the longest established form of electronic magnification uses closed-circuit television (CCTV).
Other devices increasingly used in educational settings include screen-magnifying and screen-reading software operated on computers (desktops, laptops, tablets). For the purpose of this review, we will exclude devices that include monitors to display enlarged text. The present review will focus on optical LVAs; assistive technologies including CCTV will be the topic of a second review. No review is planned on non-optical visual aids.
A different magnification strategy used in educational settings is the enlargement of hardcopy printed material. Decisions about which strategy is superior, i.e. LVAs or text modification, depends on the outcomes selected for evaluation. Any form of visual support, i.e. LVAs or enlarged print, can be expected to facilitate access to the educational curriculum and to enable a child to develop better reading and literacy skills. Compared with text enlargement, LVAs may have the additional advantage of providing children and young people with greater independence of access to printed material (Corn 2002; Douglas 2011). However, peer pressure and the fear of 'standing out' may reduce usage of LVAs by children and young people (Mason 1999).
Why it is important to do this review
Improving functional vision in children with vision impairment is important for enabling education and personal development, and for improving vision-related quality of life. The previously held belief that children with low vision should be treated as children with no vision may in the past have hampered the study and use of LVAs. The WHO identified and highlighted the provision, education and use of LVAs in children as a priority in managing children with vision impairment (World Health Organization 1992).
The use and benefit of LVAs in adults is well documented, although the need for further research into the comparative benefits of different types of visual aids was highlighted by a previous Cochrane review (Margrain 2000; Virgili 2013). Multiple studies document the use and subjective benefit of LVAs in children (de Carvalho 1998; Haddad 2006; Haddad 2009), and training in the use of magnifiers has been shown to improve the beneficial effects of their use (Cox 2009). There appears to be, however, a lack of agreement and comparative data on relevant outcomes and benefits of LVAs in children and young people.
LVA users, i.e. children, their families and carers, as well as healthcare providers or commissioners, require high quality evidence to make informed choices about allocation of personal, institutional and public resources. Facilitating reading and literacy in children and young people not only optimises individuals' access to education and employment, but also benefits society. The rationale for this review is, therefore, to provide critical evaluation of information that is already available from high-quality trials, and to delineate a framework for future research and practice policies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries.

Take a drive and enjoy. And come away with your own impression of the city's elegant new Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge.
Art is like that, and the bridge is squarely at the intersection where art and function meet. Come to it in one frame of mind and leave in another.
At once, it's a bridge and also something else — a giant harp. A loom, or a spindle for a Titan's yarn. An alien spider web. The rigging of some oversize circus canopy or oilfield contraption. A child's invention of string and tubes that mutated to the clouds.
Does it even seem right to put this sculpture to work?
That dimension of the bridge's life began Thursday, when its first lanes of traffic opened over the Trinity River.
In that respect, the rain-delayed opening was fitting, coming, as it did, weeks after the bridge's coming-out party. The speeches and fireworks were a distant memory, the VIPs long gone.
Waiting at the barricades for the bridge's opening were everyday people who craved sheer experience.
That was their reason for crossing. Ahead, we look forward to the bridge making good on its promise in a different realm: to usher along countless other reasons for crossing.
The span's opening brings together two parts of Dallas that have been separated by more than the river and its broad levees. West Dallas may be a mile west of downtown, but it's a distant world economically.
West Dallas now has a new gateway, and City Hall has block after block of opportunity to be just as creative in nurturing development as architect Santiago Calatrava was in designing the bridge.
Downriver, we look forward to the Trinity River project blossoming as a grand city park beckoning downtown and Oak Cliff with a chain of lakes. Within five years, a second bridge with Calatrava's flair should open across the Trinity, carrying pedestrian and bicycle traffic along new Interstate 30 spans.
The Calatrava arcs will have plenty of competition for attention, especially since downtown's lights have a sudden Vegas vibe.
Picture barreling west on Woodall Rodgers Freeway. To your left is the arresting architecture of the Dallas Arts District, with the lipstick-red Winspear Opera House. You plunge beneath the deck park covering the freeway and emerge to see a building off to your right that's melting back toward Earth. That's the Perot Museum of Nature & Science, still a year away from opening.
Straight ahead now is the Margaret Hunt Hill's 446-foot arch, which would tower over even Cowboys Stadium, had Jerry Jones decided to build it in these parts.
So we don't exactly agree that the new Calatrava bridge is destined to be the icon of Dallas. There are plenty of contenders, and that's a good thing. A city can't have too many icons.

Spring is teasing us this year with its elusiveness.
One day of milder temperatures, followed by many days of wind, cold, freezing rain, and clouds. Those of us who live in the north are one hardy bunch. We know the warmer days will come. We try to be patient.
Meanwhile . . . we plot, plan, dream, and fantasize about how beautiful our gardens will be this summer.
We bundle up, pull up our hoods, and do our daily garden inspection for some sign of life. Look closely. Bend down. Squint. Nope. Move a few feet. Bend. Squint. Bend further. Yes! There it is! A little green shoot, barely visible, but boldly making its appearance in the garden!
Very soon now, green shoots will be everywhere. And, once again, the promise of flowers and warmer days will come true.

Posted 17 May 2006, 1:06 PM
ocPortal 3.0 has a heavily reworked theme. We've gone through the main changes visible from the Admin Zone, but now for the first time we will reveal the rest of the website.
As you'll see, this looks significantly different to previous versions of ocPortal. Our goal was to create:
- a theme that was attractive
- a theme that provided first class navigation
- a theme that met accessibility requirements perfectly
- a theme that was completely CSS driven (i.e. a tableless layout)
- a theme that provided good contrast for the most important areas
- a theme that did not make too many assumptions about future placement and uses
From the logo to the footer, we've touched just about everything in a positive way. The original ocPortal was too "blocky", so we've crunched a lot of margins (everything is now flush against the edges of the screen), and restructured a lot of things. One immediately obvious aspect of the new theme is that the 'pretty tables' have a lot more variety. For example, some of them are curved, and others (like the ones on the left menu) are interlocking. We've actually done away with the original 'pretty tables' altogether now, and instead use a series of enhanced 'standard boxes', some of which are visible in this screenshot.
Obviously, this is simply the default theme we are packaging with ocPortal. You still have the option of completly changing the look of your website, as I've done with my website: http://www.allenellis.com/.
Tomorrow we will be going into more detail on the technical aspects of the new theme.
There are too many online users to list.

Melbourne Australia-based animator Peter Lowey made this bizarre little delight in two weeks as his entry in the Graphic Sydney Competition. That explains it.
Mr. James
Can we give Alfred Skimmy his own talk show, PLEASE?!! I'll support any kickstarter project he comes up with! Love it. No idea why it's funny but it just is. I laughed several times, especially the part where he introduces himself to the homeless dude and then zips away.
Wonderful animation, but why can't some animators get the sound editing right? It's not that difficult and it's like an injustice to your own work when you've spent that much time on such awesome animation to throw away that experience.
Peter Lowey
I was putting the sound together on After Effects only minutes away from the deadline, i only had one chance to render, thats how fast it was all put together. After the competition i plan to fix the sound errors. Im just glad a made the competition.
Gotcha'! Either way, your animations astound me. Really fantastic stuff.
Mr. James
Personally Peter I kind of liked the sound the way it was. The animation was lo-fi and the sound had the same quality which I felt added to my personal experience and initial reaction to the animation. Don't change a thing!
Alfred Skimmy you're my hero :')
Awesome character, great job Peter.

Rajamouli To Throw Special Party
Director Rajamouli doesn't like to throw parties or celebrating it in a glitzy way unlike other filmmakers in Tollywood.
He is a private person and he celebrates mostly with his family and the joke in the industry is that if all his family members come together it turns out to be as big as wedding party. Most of his family members work on his films too.
But Rajamouli and his family is said to be planning a big party for hero Prabhas. The star will be ringing in his birthday on 23rd October. Since Prabhas will be relieved of "Baahubali" movie series from December, Rajamouli is planning to throw a big party for him.
On the other hand, Prabhas is also planning to hold a big birthday bash for his friends and film personalities.
Prabhas recently got an honor of having a wax statue at Madam Tussads in Bangkok. So it is a celebrations time for Prabhas.

Romance novels get the bad rap of setting unrealistic expectations for women. They cause us to think that men have to be perfect, that they all are... well-endowed... that biker bars are where we will find our true love and hope that time travel is a possibility so we can travel back to the 1700s' Scotland and find a Jamie for our own.
Mostly, I think these assumptions and arguments of "unrealistic expectations" don't allow for women to have a fantasy life, which is pretty vital for living a happy and healthy life. However, do you think there's some truth to the stereotype? Where did you ever have an unrealistic expectation due to a romance? Do you still think it's unrealistic? What do you say to people who spout this rhetoric?
Tell me about it in the comments!

A task force headed by former Quebec Premier Jean Charest will look at moving the rail yards out of Winnipeg.
"Moving rail lines out of the city of Winnipeg is a historic opportunity to reshape our capital city for the future," said Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger, after announcing the creation of the task force on Thursday at The Forks — the city's most famous redevelopment of a former rail yard.
The province will invest $400,000 towards the task force's work, he added.
"While work has been underway for many years, today we are taking significant concrete steps forward in efforts to reduce traffic congestion, enhance public safety and create new opportunities for jobs and economic development," Selinger said.
But rail relocation is only part of a mix of a number of infrastructure projects, Selinger said.
"We are looking at the future of the Arlington Bridge, looking at what can happen with Marion Street … We are looking at the Waverley underpass, Jubilee," he said.
Overall, those projects and the work on rail lines create an opportunity to reinvent the city, according to Selinger.
He and Charest were joined at Thursday's announcement by Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman and CentrePort Canada CEO Diane Gray.
Bowman said he feels encouraged after watching what he calls the province's "renewed focus on rail revitalization."
"I want the City of Winnipeg to continue to be an involved partner in these discussions," he said, noting he was pleased to see Charest in the city.
Gray said the team remains convinced that rail is an important mode of transportation, particularly in the context of Canada's future.
"But we also need to make sure that we're planning for how our city grows and anticipating what that's going to look like when our city is a million people," she said on Thursday morning.
The terms of reference for the task force and a more detailed framework will be developed in consultation between Charest and key stakeholders, a press release from the province said.
No timeline has been identified for the task force's work, or ultimately, the relocation of the rail yards. If and when that happens, though, "the end result will be new jobs and economic development, reduced traffic congestion and a bold new vision for Manitoba's capital city," Charest said.
He added that he was "delighted" to be in Winnipeg, noting he has great respect for Selinger.
"There is a working group that has started the ground work here," he said.
"We are not starting from scratch. I will be assembling the players … [defining] the terms of reference and [launching] the baseline study."
Long debate
The massive Canadian Pacific Railway yards, which separate the North End from central Winnipeg, have been the subject of relocation discussion for many years.
The non-profit Social Planning Council of Winnipeg has called for those yards to be moved to allow redevelopment in the inner city — new housing, green space, commercial space, recreational facilities and other urban infrastructure.
The CP yards occupy about 110 hectares (280 acres) south of Jarvis Avenue, with another 39 hectares (96 acres) used for the Weston Shops west of McPhillips Street.
According to the Social Planning Council, discussions on relocating the CP Rail yard have gone on since the 1960s. And in the late 1970s, alternative land was identified for a change but the option was not exercised by the City of Winnipeg.
The new task force won't just look at the CP yards, however, but the whole picture in Winnipeg, including the BNSF operation in River Heights. That small yard drew a lot of residents' anger when eight tall metal silos were built in 2012.
CentrePort, northwest of Winnipeg's James Richardson International Airport, has been mentioned as a possible new location for the rail yards. It is an 8,000-hectare inland distribution and warehousing depot that links air, ground and rail transport.
However, that option is still just speculation. No firm discussions have taken place, CentrePort spokeswoman Riva Harrison said in November.
CentrePort is building what is known as a common-use rail facility, to allow multiple rail lines (CN, CP, BNSF) to serve businesses in the area, but "our project is a stand-alone, separate initiative that is about increasing rail-serviced industrial space and attracting new companies to the CentrePort area," Harrison said.

Glaucoma is a degenerative optic neuropathy, the second most common cause of blindness worldwide [1]. Visual loss from glaucoma occurs as a result of structural and functional damage of the optic nerve [2]. Posterior segment imaging techniques such as scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, polarimetry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) are now widely used for the assessment of glaucomatous optic neuropathy. However, to understand the underlying etiology of glaucoma, clinical assessment of the anterior chamber angle remains an integral part of any diagnostic or follow-up examination of patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. The gold standard for examination of the anterior chamber angle is gonioscopy, which requires topical anesthesia and application of a contact lens to the corneal surface [3]. In recent years, there has been rapid expansion of the available methods of anterior segment imaging for glaucoma [4]. These include infrared gonioscopy [5], the scanning peripheral anterior chamber analyzer [6,7], Scheimpflug photography [8,9], and a contact-lens mounted retinal camera adapted for use in the anterior chamber [10,11]. In this review article, we will focus on the practical application of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and anterior segment OCT (AS-OCT) imaging for the diagnosis and management of glaucoma patients.

In case you're curious, The Mecklenburg Times is reporting adult clubs are faring just fine in the Great Recession.
It started with a little dive bar on South Boulevard.
David Baucom, then working for the City of Charlotte supervising tree maintenance crews, bought the neighborhood watering hole near Dilworth in the early 1980s. Over the years, he experimented with different themes: For a while it was a biker bar. Next, he jumped on the country music bandwagon. Then he turned it into a rock club, packing in the big-hair, Spandex-clad crowd.
In 1987, he decided to go in another direction, this one involving scantily clad women dancing on stage for money. He called it Leather and Lace.
Things just clicked, said Baucom, who quit his job with the city to focus full-time on the strip club, doing everything from serving drinks to working the door. His wife, Jackie, worked as a waitress and dancer.
Today, Baucom owns a dozen adult nightclubs in the region including Baby Dolls, The Gold Club and six others in Charlotte and a club in Panama City, Panama.
While most Charlotte boosters may not acknowledge it, these types of establishments there are about 20 in Charlotte play a vital role in the local economy, employing hundreds and helping infuse the area with cash, even if it is mostly in $1 denominations.
According to Angelina Spencer, the U.S. has close to 4,000 strip clubs with an economic impact of $15 billion annually. Spencer, herself a former dancer and club owner, is managing director of the Association of Club Executives (ACE), a Washington, D.C.-based industry trade group with more than 1,400 members.

A proposed piece of legislation in Puerto Rico that would have banned surfing in larger waves would have been comical if it had not been close to a reality at the end of February. Surfers were blindsided and taken aback by the proposed House Bill 20, which would have given law enforcement the right to fine, evict and even possibly arrest anyone surfing in conditions deemed "dangerous" by the government.
RELATED: One of Puerto Rico's top surfers weighs in on the country's proposed surfing ban
But on Friday it was turned down, according to El Nuevo Día.
A meeting between House representative Carlos "Johnny" Méndez (who proposed the bill), Ernie Álvarez, executive director of the Federation of Surfing of Puerto Rico, José "Che" Pérez, President of the Chamber Recreation and Sports Commission, José Olmo Terrasa, President of the Board of Directors of the FSPR, Waldemar Volmar Méndez, Secretary of the Recreation and Sports Department, and Ruperto Chaparro, Director of Sea Grant, took place on Friday to discuss House Bill 20.
According to the above post by Álvarez, House Bill 20 was a measure that intended to amend Law Number 430 (Law of Navigation and Aquatic Safety of Puerto Rico). It was decided in the meeting that it would be scrapped for Resolution 227, which will "investigate further the delimitations, regulations and Safety measures established by the State in areas where water sports are practiced."
RELATED: Puerto Rico in battle to save premier surf breaks from development
Álvarez pointed out that 227 will hopefully secure the coasts of Puerto Rico from the dangers of big surf where 40 drownings a year are said to occur — despite the number of surfers having drowned in Puerto Rico in recent years being a mere fraction of that number.
Puerto Rican surfing legend Otto Flores had this to say to GrindTV about the ban being shot down:
"There are many ways to deal with the issue of people losing lives out in the water. Banning surfers from going out in solid conditions is not the way. It would not even relate to the issue according to statistics. Putting a lifeguard program and educating the public on ocean currents and conditions could help the fact. As for the surfing ban law not passing, that was to be expected — just enforcing that law would become an issue in itself. At the end of the day Puerto Rico dodged a stray bullet … we are happy about that."
Hopefully Resolution 227 can be a vehicle for helping curb the drownings of tourists and unskilled/uninformed swimmers when the surf kicks up. Removing surfers from the equation (who most times saves the lives of swimmers because there are no lifeguards around) was never the answer.

Grand Theft Auto V Will Be Absent From E3 2013 Says 2K Games
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
2K Games is a publishing partner with Rockstar games and according to 2K Games big upcoming titles like Grand Theft Auto V and The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will not be unveiled at E3 2013 this June.
Out of those two GTA V is clearly the most anticipated and millions of cross-platform Gamers are eagerly awaiting its release. 2K Games has reiterated its message about not attending E3 2013 confirming it will not be bringing any high profile titles – although this does not mean they won't be released.
E3 attendees should not expect to play GTA V or The Bureau: XCOM Declassified but 2K Games will focus their marketing efforts "elsewhere" in order to promote these two games. In essence this means 2K Games are ditching E3 2013 as a marketing platform and will probably choose to "go at it alone" by creating their own media events for these particular games.
We don't know whether this E3 withdrawal has any implications for the release date of these two games but as far as we can see it doesn't, it is just an experimentation with different ways to market a game launch.
So if you are going/were going to go to E3 for GTA V, you will be disappointed.
What are your thoughts on this news?

When Ice Cream Flavors Die ...
Where do ice cream flavors go to die? You may think this question is funny, but there is a cemetery for ice cream flavors, in Vermont, USA (美国佛蒙特州).
There are new ice cream flavors every year, and the old flavors will "die." So Ben&Jerry's built a cemetery for them.
The cemetery is on a hill behind the ice cream factory. There are many tombstones for the "dead" ice cream flavors. Now, there are about 200 tombstones in the cemetery.

Getting the Most Out of Your Fifties
Let's do some math: If you were in your fifties in the late seventies, then you were born in the 1920s. I am guessing that most of that crowd has moved on. Very few of my relatives from that era are still kicking. As a person turning 55 in a few weeks, I am having a difficult time relating to war memories and the big band era. My group of 50 somethings is about Woodstock, Brady Bunch and for a brief time, disco. Groovy times, baby.
On the upside, this book says that you can have fun in your fifties and have lots of sex and spend all your money ('cuz your savings account was earning around 7%, and by 1980 it was almost 10%.) Best of all, ladies, you can have fun with money and sex too! Sounds fabulous! Sign me up.
This was still on a shelf in an un-named library as of this writing and I think we can all agree it needs to go. Weed it and don't look back.
More Senior Stuff:
Turn on the Charm! (Potentially disturbing for work since there is a masked woman in girdle. Really. I promise.)
Weed it! Generally books for older people have a short life span, because of the whole mortality thing. Though it would be interesting to see what a book like this would look like when I'm fifty. I swear, if it mentions Justin Bieber, 9/11 and The Great Recession, I think I'll pass. (I'm twenty.)
We didn't go on a cruise when we cashed in my husband's bonds – we had to use them to pay off some of our daughter's indebtedness….
Yes Kathy, I am familiar with that situation. the one that are "Getting the Most Out Fifties" are our kids.
Keep it. Everyone should have something they find offensive in the collection. This is it for me.
I'm assuming you're being facetious?
A fascinating time capsule. The quotes from people are very revealing. You can see some were very excited by the new possibilities in the social changes of the Sixties and Seventies, and some were confused and very sad. I'm a bit disturbed by the guy who found the presence of Stalin on the planet reassuring, though!
I had to laugh…I am turning 50 this year. I find this easier than turning 30. I suppose it comes from having two hippie older brothers who kept telling me that no one over 30 could be trusted. However, I was a small child when they were telling me. They are 15 and 20 years older than I am.
I had to check, sure enough my local library has this in stock. They have every book on this list!
"…the usual loss of 50% or more" of one's income at retirement?? How could people afford to retire, then? Or was a lot more of what one spent back then discretionary and easy to do without?

"Police from the area. Longview, Tyler, and even as far away as Tulsa Oklahoma came here to Longview to take part in Hostage negotiations in the building behind me" - Kevin Boyce,
Specifically, they're learning how to communicate with a suspect holding someone hostage, how to anticipate what their actions will be, and determine what move to make next.
Howard is a former FBI Special Agent and he's dealt with this before.
He says it all boils down to protecting people's lives in a dangerous situation.
"How to respond to a hostage situation, and how to deploy the most non-violent means to resolve that situation"- Max Howard
For students like Amy Cave, it's part of the job of protecting the people of East Texas, a job she's proud to do.

McCann to step down as Wireless chief executive
John McCann is to step down as chief executive of Wireless, only days after the company completed the sale of its television business.
In a stock exchange announcement, the owner of a network of radio stations, including TalkSport, FM104 and Q102, said Mr McCann, above, will retire at the company's annual general meeting in May.
Non-executive chairman Richard Huntingford will replace him.
Mr McCann (62) had been expected to retire this year. He has been with the company since 1983 and had been chief executive for the past 16 years.
Analysts universally praised Mr McCann for the job he did as CEO. One of his last acts was to sell the UTV Ireland TV business he launched to great fanfare last year.
The new channel struggled to gain traction however and the company issued four profit warnings as a result.
Before its January 2015 launch, the station was expected to lose £3m (€3.9m) by the end of last year, mostly related to startup costs.
In March the loss estimate increased to £6m before rising further to £8.5m in May and then £11.5m at the end of June. By November however that number had ballooned to €18m.
Mr McCann though engineered a sale its TV assets, which also includes UTV Northern Ireland, to ITV for €136m - a move strongly praised by analysts. Goodbody Stockbrokers' Gavin Kelleher said Mr McCann had "transformed" the business.
With Mr Huntingford taking over, Wireless will unusually have one person in the role of chairman and chief executive. It is understood that the company believes splitting the positions is not neccesary given the size of the business.
Mr Huntingford previously headed Chrysalis Group.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Normans brought with them when they conquered England in 1066. The name Arvin came from the Breton personal name Aeruiu or Haerviu. It is composed of the elements haer, which means battle or carnage, and vy, which means worthy. The name was commonly introduced to England in its Gallic form Herve.
Arvin Early Origins
Norfolk where they held a family seat from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege Lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Arvin Spelling Variations
Arvin Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Arvin are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Arvin include Harvey, Hervey, Hervie, Harvie and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Arvin, or a variant listed above: William Harvey settled in New England in 1630; Nicholas Hervey settled in Maryland in 1634; Alexander Harvie settled in Virginia in 1635; Anne Harview settled in Virginia in 1635.

Time:10:20am - 9pm
Credit Cards Accepted
English Service Available
There was a lot of hype around town before Fortune House opened. It's connected with the same people behind Grandma's Kitchen. Of course there would be hype. Grandma's Kitchen is everywhere now, and customers can't get in before 7:30 without waiting in long lines – and most people wouldn't dare begin dinner as late as 7:30. Ninety-nine times out of one hundred, it's either 6:30 for regular dinner or past midnight for late dinner. Take note to this because in Fortune House and many other restaurants around town, tables are only available for booking at 6:30 or earlier. A 7pm reservation cannot be made. Those who can't make the early reservation have to wait in line and eat in the main dining area. The lines are especially long at both Grandma's Kitchen and Fortune House.
That's just the way it goes because like Grandma's Kitchen, Fortune House serves up food that is very reasonable considering the price (50-60RMB/person). That said, our first review team didn't have the most stellar experience. Their sashimi was frozen and a few dishes were unavailable. Our second group of eaters went after all the New Year mayhem, and they had a much more pleasurable time.
The location on Tianmushan road is not big. Unlike many giants, it's good to go with only a table of four. It feels intimate, but beware if you've got a lot of people because there are only three private rooms big enough for parties over twelve. None can hold more than fifteen. The only thing that our two groups could agree on in entirety was that the bathrooms were very far away. It happens. Right now we have two Fortune House locations around town. If our second trip there was any indication, there will be many more in the near future. Picture menu available.

Gaurav Johri, Senior Vice President and Head, Platform Solutions at Mindtree draws attention towards the analysis of the survey conducted by them with shoppers as well as sales associates from varied retail segments to derive the how-to of a successful omnichannel strategy
In the age of the customer, shoppers use the retail channel that is most convenient to them at the time (online, in-store, mobile) and expect a seamless, consistent experience. One of the benefits of shopping in-store is to seek out a helpful, friendly sales associate who can help them understand a product better. This was recently proven in a study by Mindtree, which revealed the major influence associates have on in-store purchases. While technology allows customers to be more informed, most still feel the need to interact with an expert before making a purchase.

Running Smartblend with PTGui Natively on OS X

Here we are going to discuss how to configure PTGui to run Smartblend natively on OS X

About Smartblend and PTGui

Smartblend is a panoramic image blending application designed to be used as a plug-in for panorama stitching applications. It is capable of dealing with moving objects and parallax better than other blending solutions.

For example, when you photograph a bridge with heavy traffic, in most cases you are going to end up with ghosts of partially rendered cars. In other situations, you might end up with people's hands or legs cut off in your panorama. Smartblend was designed to keep objects together, or entirely remove them from the picture.

PTGui is an advanced photo stitching software, which can be configured to use Smartblend as a blending application.

Smartblend on OS X

Smartblend is currently only available for the Windows platform. The general consensus is that it cannot be run natively on OS X.

However, there is a workaround. It does not require you to install Windows or run any virtual machine. The solution is based on the 100% free and open-source Wine.

Note: My solution is for Intel Macs only. It does not work on PowerPC hardware.

Wine is a community-developed application for running Windows applications on Unix-like computers with Intel x86 processor. It was developed completely independently from Microsoft, and contains no code from Windows. Wine implements a very thin compatibility layer on top of Linux, BSD, or OS X, which allows Smartblend to execute natively on an Intel Mac.

Note that Wine is completely legal and has nothing to do with Microsoft. It does not require that you purchase Microsoft Windows. Wine is a very small and lightweight package. It is not an operating system, just a thin interface that translates Windows operations into OS X. It is a lot faster than VMWare or Parallels, and costs no money at all.

Installation

The following instructions come with no warranty of any kind. Use it at your own risk. I shall not be responsible for any damages that may occur while following these steps.

Here are the steps to install Smartblend on OS X with the purpose of using it from PTGui.

Download Darwine, a special build of Wine designed for Mac OS X. (The regular version of Wine was built for Linux).

Open the Darwine-x86-1.0.1.dmg disk image, and drag and drop the Darwine folder into Applications. That is all you need to install this distribution of Wine.

Download Smartblend from http://wiki.panotools.org/SmartBlend.

Double click on the Smartblend_1_2_5.zip file to uncompress it.

Optionally, rename "Smartblend_1_2_5.zip Folder" to something simpler, such as Smartblend, and move it to a convenient location where you are going to find it. For example, /Users/yourname/Smartblend. This is not necessary, as you can have it anywhere on your hard drive, as long as you know its location.

Congratulations, you have installed Smartblend on OS X!

Note that you could use other Wine distributions. However, Darwine is so easy to install that it does not require any Linux expertise. If you use a different version of Wine, you know who you are and what you are doing.

Configure PTGui

The next step is to let PTGui know where Smartblend is located. Note that you should use the OS X version of PTGui.

Run PTGui. From the menu bar, select PTGui -> Preferences...

Switch to the Plugins tab, scroll down to the bottom, and specify the following settings:

 Smartblend application: /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine

 Command line parameters: /Users/yourname/Smartblend/smartblend.exe

 (Note: in the second line you must specify the actual path where smartblend.exe is located. Ignore the red warning that tells you it only works on Windows.)

Close the preferences dialog, and switch PTGui into advanced mode by clicking the "Advanced >>" button in the main window.

Before you create your panorama, switch to the Create Panorama tab, and select Blend using: Smartblend plugin.

You can do all this with the evaluation version of PTGui, just to make sure it works for you before you purchase. Smartblend and Darwine are free of charge.

What About Hugin?

Hugin is a free panorama stitching program. It is much slower than PTGui, but produces very good images. However, it is currently not compatible with Smartblend, as far as I know.

I have attempted to get it to work. The first hurdle was that Hugin passes parameters that Smartblend does not understand. Therefore I wrote a shell script to filter them out:

#!/bin/bash
 #
 SMARTBLEND=/Users/tamas/Smartblend/smartblend.exe
 SMARTBLENDARGS=`echo $* \
 | sed "s/--compression NONE //" \
 | sed "s/--compression PACKBITS //" \
 | sed "s/--compression LZW //" \
 | sed "s/--compression DEFLATE //" \
 | sed "s/-f *[0-9][0-9]*x[0-9][0-9]* //" \
 | sed "s/-l *[0-9][0-9]* //"`
 /Applications/Darwine/Wine.bundle/Contents/bin/wine $SMARTBLEND $SMARTBLENDARGS
 exit 0

(Credit: Bob Bright)

I saved this to a file called smartblend, and made it executable by running "chmod +x smartblend" from the terminal.

This way Hugin was successfully executing Smartblend. However, this did not work out, because the latest version of Smartblend requires the -xofs -yofs parameters, otherwise the output is complete garbage. I was unable to convince Hugin to generate the offsets. Smartblend currently only works with applications that support it. Someone else might have better luck, or Hugin might include Smartblend support in the future. I'm not saying it's impossible to get Hugin to work with Smartblend, I just couldn't do it myself.

- for future use, this utility can at best convert results of internal fields to Foam.
I also thought about compuating the case in OpenFoam and then get the BC profile via Paraview, then I can use mapFields. But computing the case on my own machine takes too long time and dont know how to get BC profile in paraview from a cutting plane.

It is a 3D mesh.
if the numbering rule of Foam and CFX is the same, i think it will be simpler to code by interpolating the BC values roughly, say, from a 2500 faceCell plane to a 5000 faceCell plane.
am i right?
