Reporters Without Borders is worried about poet Saw Wai's transfer to the notorious Insein prison on 26 January, four days after his arrest for criticising the head of the military government, Gen. Than Shwe, in a coded message in a poem published in the weekly Achit Journal.
An enormous detention centre built by the British near Rangoon, Insein has become the symbol of the military regime's repressive apparatus. It is known for appalling conditions and the frequent use of physical and psychological torture.
24.01.2008 - Imprisoned journalist U Win Tin is hospitalized, while poet is arrested
U Win Tin, a well-known journalist who has been imprisoned since July 1989, was taken to a guarded room at Rangoon general hospital on 22 January suffering from a painful hernia. A hospital source said he would undergo an operation in the next few days, after a series of tests. His relatives and friends have been able to visit him in the hospital, although they are checked by the policemen stationed outside his room.
At the same time, Saw Wai, a leading poet known for his love poems, was arrested by soldiers on 22 January for writing a Valentine's Day poem that contained a coded criticism of the head of the military government, Gen. Than Shwe.
"In both cases, these men just peacefully expressed their views and we call for their immediate release," Reporters Without Borders and the Burma Media Association said. "In U Win Tin's case, the military government's treatment of a sick old man is criminal. We are very worried about this operation. In Saw Wai's case, we fear he will be mistreated while in detention. His only crime is to have circumvented censorship in order to say what most Burmese think of the regime."
U Win Tin, who is serving a 20-year sentence for "anti-government propaganda" and other offences, has not received any visits from representatives of the International Committee of the Red Cross since the start of 2006. Although he is now held in a special cell in Insein prison, his health has slowly deteriorated. He has high blood pressure and a chronic heart condition. According to the Burmese prison rules, U Win Tin should have been released since July 2005.
Saw Wai was arrested the day after his poem, entitled "14 February" was published in the popular weekly Achit Journal (Love Journal). Read vertically, the first words of each line formed the phrase: "Power crazy Senior General Than Shwe."
Both the poet and members of the magazine's staff were interrogated by military censors about the poem, which circulated widely in Rangoon and boosted the magazine's sales until it was withdrawn from news stands. Editor Myat Khine was asked to explain how it came to be published.
A similar cryptogam was used in an advertisement in the Myanmar Times for a non-existent Swedish travel agency in July 2007. Read backwards, the travel agency's name said: "Killer Than Shwe."

Mr Bickell, the finance director, will replace Jonathan Lane, who has been chief executive for the last 25 years at Shaftesbury, which owns swathes of Carnaby Street and Covent Garden.
"He went through four gruelling interviews with the non-executives," said Mr Lane, who will become deputy chairman from October 1. "What he brings is what shareholders want, which is the same strategy."
The appointment was confirmed as Shaftesbury's interim results highlighted the prosperity of London's economy.
The value of the company's property grew by 3.2pc in the six months to March 31 with rents up 6pc on a like-for-like basis. However, pre-tax profits fell to £101m from £123m in 2010, when property values recovered sharply following the recession.
John Manser, chairman, said: "The UK's traditions and heritage provide London with unrivalled attractions, which encourage large numbers of domestic and overseas visitors and support the West End economy."
Shaftesbury shares fell 6½, or 1pc, to 517p.
Meanwhile, Quintain Estates and Development said it has made "strong progress" with its major regeneration schemes at Wembley City and Greenwich Peninsula.
Quintain has won planning permission for a 280,000 sq ft designer outlet at Wembley and has 22m sq ft of consented development.
On Wednesday, the company posted a pre-tax loss of £48m for the year to March 31, compared to £10.2m last year, as the value of its Corsham Street student accommodation scheme in London and Emersons Green housing development in Bristol were written down.

This is my first year growing seeds indoors. I was tempted to begin this new venture with an elaborate set-up but decided to starts slowly and cheaply. That way, if my plants fail, I won't be quite so upset.
I purchased a shop light and 2 fluorescent light tubes (1 warm and 1 cool). I also bought adjustable shelving, leaving the top of the unit shelf-less so the shop light could be perched there, since I didn't feel like hanging it from the ceiling. That's it! Now let's hope it's warm enough in my basement. I know I could buy a heated pad for the seedlings, but I want to try a minimal set-up first and adjust as needed next year.
It's still too early to start most of my seeds. However, I plan to grow several herbs indoors, so I decided to start with the notoriously slow-germinating ones: rosemary and sage. My sage has not yet germinated, and I've read that sometimes it takes well over a month.
As for rosemary, most sources (online and print) suggest that you start it from cuttings. I nevertheless decided to try growing it from seed, and purchased a packet of Franchi seeds (rosemary seeds are not that easy to find). Since I don't have my seed starting mix yet, I filled three pots with organic potting soil. I planted several seeds in each pot, which I loosely covered with plastic to keep everything moist. The seeds went in on Jan. 16, and last night (13 days later), I noticed the first signs of life -- all three of my pots had one germinated seed! Today, I moved them into my grow light set-up, which is pretty sparse at this early stage. Here's hoping they make it!
(I used a box to raise the tray of pots closer to the light.)

Vegetable stock - deep, dark, and rich
Since my last post about veggie stock, I've perfected my technique quite a bit. Although I never make it quite the same way twice, I do follow a few consistent steps: I always slightly brown my base vegetables (onions, celery, and carrots), and I always add herbs and spices (see my suggestion in #3 below).
My directions are for a (preferably large) pressure cooker (which, imho, makes all the difference). I actually use a pressure canner since it's huge and can handle a lot of stock. If you don't have one, just simmer all of your ingredients in a large stock pot for about 45 minutes to an hour.
It's a good idea to start saving your vegetable scraps in a freezer bag. My freezer bag tends to include scraps of leeks, onions, random herbs, sweet peppers, and mushrooms. Once the freezer bag is full, I start a new batch of stock.
Rich and Deep Vegetable Stock
yields up to 10 pints, depending on how many vegetables you use
1. Coarsely chop 1 onion, 3-4 carrots, 3-4 celery stalks, and 1 leek (the last is optional, but oh-so-yummy). In a large pressure cooker or pressure canner, saute the veggies over 2 TBS of olive oil for about 5 minutes or until some have lightly browned.
2. If you've been saving veggies in a freezer bag, dump them in now. If you haven't, add coarsely chopped vegetables of your choice (but avoid brasiccas or add only tiny amounts). I typically add a handful of mushrooms, a sweet pepper, a handful of chives and/or green onions, and a tomato (either fresh, if in season, or canned).
3. Add water just to cover the whole lot. Then throw in 4-5 whole peeled garlic cloves, a dash of soy sauce, about a tablespoon of nutritional yeast (a trick I learned from Deborah Madison), about 2 teaspoons of peppercorns, 2-3 dried bay leaves, and several sprigs of fresh herbs (I've used various combinations of thyme, parsley, oregano, rosemary, and sage).
4. Pressure cook for 20 minutes.
5. Pour the stock through a strainer. Allow the stock to cool completely and pour into freezer-safe containers (I use wide-mouth Mason jars), leaving some headspace for expansion.
6. Freeze the stock.
7. You can discard (or compost!) the vegetables, although sometimes I puree them and throw them into a soup or stew recipe. My mom taught me this trick, and it works well for a number of soups. Plus, you don't waste the veggies that way.
8. Thaw stock as needed for recipe, and eat your heart out.

No games machines, no music, no pool table and no cordon bleu food menu to distract the taste buds - but The Star Inn still shines on in Bath. The 16th century pub on the Paragon is one of only two pubs in the city to make the main listings in the 2004 Good Pub Guide. The judges all agreed that "this old pub gives a strong sense of the past. With no machines or music, chat's the thing here - or perhaps cribbage, dominoes and shove halfpenny."
The pub, first licensed in 1759, is the brewery tap of Bath's only brewery, Abbey Ales Ltd, who took it under their wing just under four years ago. At that time owners Punch Taverns were looking for - someone to take over the running of the Star and there had been grave concerns that the pub might have to close, but publicity over the plight of the historic watering hole located in the listed building attracted Alan Morgan, Managing Director of Abbey Ales.
"It had always been one of my favourite pubs and although trade as very quiet et when we first took over, I knew it had potential and the pub has gone from strength to strength. We now have a loyal band of regulars from locals to tourists, and many students who come for the draught Bass and our own Bellringer," he commented.
The pub is described by CAMRA (The Campaign of Real Ale) as a "rare and unspoiled pub interior of outstanding historic interest" and it is listed on the National Inventory of Heritage Pubs. There are four different drinking areas - the smaller bar, still used by many of the regulars, features a long single bench known as "death row" where a complimentary pinch of snuff can still be found in the tins on the ledge above the wall panelling.
There is always a selection of fresh rolls and on Sunday the pub has gained a reputation for its free bar snacks ranging from quail eggs sausage rolls and a selection of cheeses.
Set amongst the splendour of Baths Georgian architecture, the Star provides a welcome escape from the bustle of city life, with conversation flowing free of the challenge of background music, and other electronic distractions.

Dismissing a senior executive who has significant incentives, such as restricted shares and stock options, can be a minefield.
Can an employer forfeit an employee's incentives on the basis that it has grounds to summarily dismiss the employee but chose not to terminate on that basis and give him notice instead? The short answer is yes, but this must be supported by the facts and the rules of the incentive scheme, and, if litigated, arguments must be articulated properly. Otherwise, it can backfire on the employer (as shown in a recent Hong Kong case)!
The China Gas case
The facts
The China Gas case concerned two senior executives who brought a claim against their former employer, as it refused to honour the exercise of their stock options.
The senior executives, Li and Xu, both PRC nationals, were the chairman and vice chairman of China Gas. Between January 2004 and October 2005, China Gas granted these two senior executives stock options for 10 million shares and 95 million shares respectively.
In early March 2011, the Board of Directors of China Gas resolved to remove Li and Xu from their positions as company directors and it did so without terminating their employment contracts. Both senior executives, seeing the writings on the wall, then gave notice to China Gas to exercise their stock options. A few days later, China Gas terminated Li and Xu's employment by payment in lieu of notice.
Arguing they were no longer eligible to exercise their rights under the scheme rules, China Gas refused to honour their requests to issue the shares. Consequently, the two executives took China Gas to court for an order compelling the company to allot and issue the shares to them, or pay them damages in lieu of those shares.
The Judgment: The Court of Appeal was unanimous in finding in favour of the senior executives and they were awarded HK$25 Million and HK$254 Million respectively.
What Went Wrong?
- At the time the senior executives exercised their stock options, they were still employees of the company.
- The company argued (unsuccessfully) that the senior executives' stock options had lapsed under the stock options scheme because the company "would be entitled" to summarily dismiss them.
- However, neither the key facts nor the grounds for forfeiture were properly articulated in the company's defence.
- The company failed to explicitly state that it was as a matter of fact entitled to summarily dismiss the senior executives.
- The grounds on which the board of directors had made the determination that it was entitled to dismiss the executives were also not explained.
- The company also argued (unsuccessfully) that the executives did not comply with the PRC exchange control regulations in exercising their stock options and therefore should not be allowed to exercise those options. However, the Court of Appeal disagreed with this because the company should be responsible for obtaining any required governmental approval to permit the grant or exercise of the options. As such, it should not take advantage of its own wrong.
Key Takeaways
- Incentive plan drafting: Check that the company's rights and remedies are properly reserved under the incentive scheme rules.
- Have proper record of the decision: There should be a proper paper trail to show there was a determination by the company to forfeit the incentives and that there are valid grounds to do so and the basis for the decision to terminate the executives.
- Planning is key: Having a coordinated and well-thought out approach is key to implementing any company decision.
- Articulate your defence: If it comes to litigation and if there is proper basis and supporting facts to forfeit the incentives, articulate the case properly. Don't ask the Court to infer the basis of forfeiture and don't sit on the fence!

BOX IN Glass Reinforced Plastic
INTRODUCING OUR NEW LONGLIFE SWIFT COLONY NEST BOX carrying a guarantee of 25 years.
Swift (Apus apus) Photo courtesy of ©Billy Lindblom.
Each nest box is hand laid up in Glass Reinforced Plastic here in Wales by craftsmen with many years experience to a finish second to none.
There is no need for maintenance because these nest boxes are impervious to all extremes of weather. The materials are Ultra Violet resistant and will not crack in very cold weather. Once a tree is cut down it begins to decompose, so why make a nest box from a decomposing material? You know it will have a very limited lifespan. When one of our nest boxes goes up on a building, it stays there! We took advice on the basic design of this nest box from Edward Mayer in order that we got the volumetrics correct and the entrance hole dimensions spot on etc. Latterly we have received good advice from Dick Newell of Action for Swifts on the question of concave nesting trays and so we offer both elliptical nest trays or 10cm round ones which he has proven to be successful. We do listen! Also we are developing a GRP canopy for use in very hot countries such as Israel and other Mediterranean countries. The basic dimensions are 300 mm long x 200mm high x 200mm deep for each nesting apartment. The elliptical entrance hole into the vestibule is 60mm long by 28mm deep and is made of 14 hardwood ply and emulates a natural tree ring hole. The primordial attraction as it were. The entrance hole has a 30 degree down angle to facilitate the Swifts upward flight approach to it's nest site.
It is well known that installing nest boxes high on a wall can require circus training for the balancing act to be performed to the expectations and delight of onlookers! When they are heavy nest boxes (not mentioning any names) the problem is amplified. Our nest boxes are considerably lighter than others but even so the four, six and eight apartment versions start to weigh somewhat. We had to have a fresh look at the problem and think a little outside the box as it were. The solution is very simple. We supply a pair of very rugged stainless steel hanging
brackets which are screwed right into the masonry before the nest box even goes up a ladder!
NO balancing act required as you attempt to line up screw holes. Then you simply carry the colony nest box up the ladder and HANG it onto the two stainless brackets positioned in alignment at either end. To lock the nest box in place there are two stainless steel securing brackets underneath the nest box to ensure it cannot ride upwards and off the two hanging brackets.
What could be more simple or safe? The pulling down of the nest box onto the hanging brackets and the tightening of the securing brackets exerts a pressure onto the rubber seal which circumscribes the entire rear of the colony nest box, thereby weatherproofing it.
The cost of a single nest box is £50, there are cheaper wooden ones but the longevity we offer makes economic sense. A double nest box is £90. A quadruple colony nest box (as in the picture) is £160. A six apartment colony nest box is £220 and the eight apartment version is £250. Real value for money when you consider the cost of these materials and the craftsmen hours applied. Whatever your wall area available, you can tailor make whichever length of Colony length best fits. A 20% deposit with your order is appreciated and carriage costs are extra.We are also at your service for the colour of nest boxes that best blend in with your property ie,Brick red or Off White for rendered walls.

After Thanksgiving-gate, things are looking rosy on the often stormy horizons of R-Patz and KStew's 'relationship'.
Entertainment Wise has reported that Rob and Kristen are doing a bit of sneaky forward planning for a fairytale Parisian Christmas together. Oh là là!
An unidentified source has let slip that and have been plotting to spend Christmas with their respective families and then jetting off for a rendezvous in Paris. Not content with slurping up the sights of the city of romance, they plan to ride the the love train to the charming countryside and castles of the Loire Valley.
While I can't help but be dubious that such a picturesque scenario might be a work of fiction, lets all keep our fingers crossed that love's young dream can endure for the holiday season!

So far we have had a bit of a history lesson about this area, an opportunity to learn something about handwriting analysis, civil war sharpshooters and a "There is no such thing as a dumb jock," presentation. Music, art, stand-up comedy, hobbies, sharing ideas on a particular topic…we welcome it all. The purpose is to have a good time and get to know each other. So if you, or a group of you, have something to share contact me in room 310 in the Library or at email@example.com or ext. 5510. I also have a mailbox on the wall outside of the room if you want to leave a note and I'm not there. Students can earn up to $45 in vouchers at the bookstore depending on how many show up for their presentation so be sure to invite your friends. Faculty and staff are also compensated. Also, it is possible for faculty to earn professional development credit for attending or presenting.
Click here to let me know what you would like to see presented and anyone you would like to see do something!

NYPD Tapes to Begin Soon
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Monday that he expects a New York Police Department program that calls for the full videotaping of interrogations in major crimes to be implemented while he is still in office.
Mr. Bloomberg said he supports the practice that is gaining traction nationally and has been endorsed by civil liberties groups, defense attorneys and members of law enforcement.
Last week, Police Commissioner Raymond...

The number of water mains bursting in Montgomery and Prince George's counties due to plunging temperatures continued to grow Wednesday, as utility crews worked to repair 48 broken mains, a jump from the 38 pipes that required repairs Tuesday.
Crews for the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) are working 16-hour shifts around the clock to keep up with the spike, officials said. However, repairs that usually take four to six hours are taking longer because workers must rotate into and out of their vehicles to get relief from the bitter cold, WSSC officials said.
Crews have repaired 16 broken mains since Tuesday morning, officials said.
On a typical January day, the WSSC has about eight broken mains, officials said.

Kanu adds style to Hawthorns but Defoe provides substance
West Bromwich Albion 1 Tottenham Hotspur 1
SOMETHING was stirring in the West Midlands last night. West Bromwich Albion looked like a side who might not be stranded up the proverbial creek now they have a Kanu, and Tottenham Hotspur suggested they may be building something other than a North London inferiority complex.
Jacques Santini's new-look team had the opportunities to win a rollicking match and gained marks for artistic impression. "In France we say the glass is half full," Santini said. "They are a good side and I am happy with a point."
That Michael Carrick did not even make the bench and Robbie Keane did shows there is depth to the squad. Pedro Mendes and Sean Davis have quickly forged a midfield alliance, while Jermain Defoe and Frédéric Kanouté form…

Very excited to be welcoming Ayize Jama-Everett to City Lights Bookstore this Wednesday. Ayize is celebrating two new publications from Small Beer Press (out of Easthampton, MA), both staff favorites at City Lights. He answered our 5 questions below.
Event: Wednesday, September 16, 7:00PM at City Lights Bookstore, 261 Columbus Ave., San Francisco, CA 94133.
Ayize Jama-Everett celebrating the release of two new books, The Entropy of Bones & The Liminal War: A Novel both from Small Beer Press.
About the Books: Entropy of Bones is a Liminal People novel. A young martial artist finds there is more to the world than she can kick, more than she can see. Chabi doesn't realize her martial arts master may not be on the side of the gods. She does know he's changed her from being an almost invisible kid to one that anyone—or at least anyone smart—should pay attention to. But attention from the wrong people can mean more trouble than even she can handle. Chabi might be emotionally stunted. She might have no physical voice. She doesn't communicate well with words, but her body is poetry.
The Liminal War is a propulsive novel that starts with a kidnapping in London and takes off running. Taggert is a man with a questionable past and the ability to hurt or heal with his thoughts alone. When his adopted daughter goes missing, he immediately suspects the hand of an old enemy. In order to find her, Taggert assembles a team of friends, family, and new allies who don't quite trust he has left his violent times behind. But their search leads them to an unexpected place: the past.
"It's been a long wait since Jama-Everett's 2009 debut, The Liminal People, but the same raw wattage that lit up healer/killer Taggert's epic introduction to his daughter, Tamara, and his split with his sociopathic mentor, Nordeen, is at work in this rich, dense sequel. This episode opens with a characteristic blast of pure psychic chaos from Tamara, who's discovered that Prentis, a child Taggert calls 'mine by choice,' has disappeared from the sensory realm commanded by superpowered liminals like Taggert's family. Taggert's sure that Prentis isn't dead, but beyond that he's stumped. His lover, Samantha, guides him to the Rasta-tinged commune of London's Eel Pie Island, where he encounters the avatar of a four-billion-year-old vegetable god who allies with him in the search. And that's just the first 30 pages. Jama-Everett writes with such cyclonic energy and verbal legerdemain that occasionally the plot has to be taken on faith, but the noir-infused verve of the telling makes it all work."
—Publishers Weekly
About the Author: Ayize Jama-Everett was born in 1974 and raised in Harlem, New York. Since then he has traveled extensively in Northern Africa, New Hampshire, and Northern California. He holds a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Divinity. He teaches religion and psychology at Starr King School for the Ministry when he's not working as a school therapist at the College Preparatory School. He is the author of three novels, The Liminal People, The Liminal War, and The Entropy of Bones, as well as an upcoming graphic novel with illustrator John Jennings entitled Box of Bones. When not educating, studying, or beating himself up for not writing enough, he's usually enjoying aged rums and practicing his aim.
City Lights: If you've been to City Lights before, what's your memory of the visit?
Ayize Jama-Everett: First time I came to City lights I was sixteen years old and had just finished reading "America" by Ginsberg. I was visiting California from the East Coast for the summer and was guided, almost by voices, to City lights. The near history of North Beach, Ferlinghetti, and the streets of San Francisco infected me to such a degree that I would move to the West Coast not a full three years later.
CL: If your book had a soundtrack, what would it be?
AJE: For The Liminal War, check this site. In terms of Entropy of Bones, let's say it would be a lot of Ol' Dirty Bastard starting with "Brooklyn Zoo," more for the sentiment than for the actual location. Carolina Chocolate Drops "Hit 'Em Up Style," "Tical" from Method man, Mavis Staples "The Weight" and Mahalia Jackson's "Trouble of the World," rounded out with this dynamic and amazing duo Ibeyi.
CL: What's the first book you actually finished reading?
AJE: Not sure about the first, but some early Sherlock Holmes got to me as a whippersnapper.
CL: If you weren't a writer, what might you do?
AJE: Make money.
CL: Name a few things you'd require if stranded on a desert island for an undefined period of time (and, yes, no wifi).
AJE: The ability to think, laugh, eat, you know those homeostatic things. If I'm on an island I'm hoping I can score some fish and coconuts. After that, I'm good. I'm a simple man who focuses on simple pleasures.
Ayize Jama-Everett will be celebrating both The Liminal War and The Entropy of Bones at City Lights this Wednesday at 7PM. Find his books at City Lights, from Small Beer Press, or at your local independent bookseller.

All Or Nothing At All Lyrics
Artist: Barry Manilow
Album: Singin' With the Big Bands
All, or nothing at all
half a love, never appeal to me
if your heart never could heal to me
then I rather have nothing at all
all, or nothing at all
if it's love, there is no in between
why begin then cry for
something that might have been
no I rather have nothing at all
so please don't bring your lips
so close to my cheek
so don't smile or I'll be lost
beyone recall
the kiss in your eyes
the touch of your hand makes me weak
and my heart may go dizzy and fall
and if I fell under the spell
of your call
I would be caught in the undertoe
so you'll see
I've got to say no no
all or nothing at all
all or nothing at all

It's no secret that Medicare provides senior and disabled Americans with affordable health care. Every year, millions of people across the United States sign up for Medicare during the Open Enrollment Period. Open Enrollment for Medicare plans for 2016 starts tomorrow.
There are four different components of Medicare, all available during Open Enrollment. Part A covers hospital insurance, and is free if you have worked and paid Social Security taxes. Part B covers medical insurance, and requires a monthly premium. Part A and Part B are collectively known as "Original Medicare."
Part C, or Medicare Advantage, is a provision that allows private insurance companies to provide Medicare benefits. Enrollees have the option to receive Medicare coverage through a Medicare Advantage plan instead of Original Medicare. Part D covers prescription medications. A relatively new feature, it's skyrocketed to popularity in the 10 years since it went into effect. A recent study found that 72% of all Medicare enrollees subscribe to Part D.
To help people through the Open Enrollment process, I've created the following guide:
Am I Eligible for Medicare?
To qualify for standard hospital and medical coverage (also known as Original Medicare), you must be 65 or older, permanently disabled or diagnosed with either End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). This generally covers all inpatient and outpatient care at hospitals, doctor's offices and other related treatments.
Which Parts Do I Need?
Original Medicare (Parts A and B) or Medicare Advantage (Part C) are the two ways to get covered. Some people choose to get additional coverage, like Part D. Part D makes it easy for people to access the medicines they need. To enroll, you must also have either Original Medicare or an Advantage plan that covers prescriptions.
If you fall into any of these categories, take note: You can register for 2016 coverage beginning Thursday.
Here's how you can make sure you're enrolled:
Review your options or existing plan
If you're new to Medicare, take some time to learn what portions of the program make sense for you. If you're already enrolled, look out for notices regarding changes to your plan. These will help you make the best decisions regarding your coverage.
October 15th - Open Enrollment begins
Current Medicare users can change health and/or prescription drug plans for 2016. New subscribers can request to enroll as early as three months before their 65th birthday. You can submit applications here.
December 7th - Open Enrollment ends
This is the final day to submit requests to change or enroll in plans for 2016.
January 1st, 2016 - New coverage takes effect
The first day of the new year, and the first day of your new coverage!
October 15th is just a day away, so I encourage you to review your Medicare options beforehand. I'll write more blogs throughout the Open Enrollment Period and beyond, so be sure to check in over the next few months. To discover more about Medicare and its Prescription Drug Benefit, visit our Part D section.

Social Question
If you know any, do you find Mormons to be different or happier than non-Mormons?
Asked by Aster (18313) February 1st, 2013
A family member and I have become acquainted with Mormons and found them to be somehow different than other people we know. The teens especially seem to us to be peaceful and well mannered. Have you found this to be the case if you know any Mormons? I am not nor will ever be Latter Day Saint but I was just wondering about this.
Many years ago my family and I went to Colorado to a park. The small town in which we picnicked had a large Mormon membership and the children were so quiet you hardly knew they were there in the park near us. It was quite odd.

Out of many, one. Only four short years ago, each of us arrived in Boston on our own, bringing with us our unique backgrounds, experiences and expectations.

Upon my return from England, I began my third clinical rotation at a private practice in New Jersey.

As the head of the ophthalmoscope pops out of place, I return the two pieces of the instrument back into their holder.

It has been three weeks since my arrival at Aston University, England, the site of my second clinical rotation.

Confirmation of stylized facts and dimension reduction are key first steps in the subsequent development of specific high-frequency trading rules. This article demonstrates the application of these techniques using high-frequency foreign exchange (FX) data as a case study. The FX spot markets are well suited to high-frequency speculative trading. They are highly liquid, leveraged, and trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. This article describes the processes to follow for determining the applicability and robustness of known or suspected stylized facts to speculative trading; it also formalizes the technique of dimension reduction in high-frequency financial datasets.

For the second year in a row, I am participating in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo for short. Basically, I will be attempting to write a 50,000 word novel in just a month, starting on November first. I tried doing this last year, but I never really got into it. I have a specific plot idea this year, however, and I hope that I'll be able to finish this year!
Bloomington's notorious for its massive NaNoWriMo participant population. I'm getting together with a bunch of local NaNoWriMo people tonight for food, and I'm hoping that it will be fun! I'm looking forward to meeting countless amounts of other people who will be spending their Novembers hunched over their computer/paper notebook/etc scribbling a novel. Fun times, I say.

Being able to completely skip AROMA is definitely something I'd like to do, but it won't happen it the next release for sure. I would have to go and modify AROMA's source code, which might or might not take a while. We'll see, but I agree with those that think that AROMA is unnecessary when using ILWT.txt. The issue is that most people seem to find it confusing to configure, and I have to look out for everybody

I think I know what you're trying to get across...or at least a pretty good guess: while your physical appearance may be imposing, it's ultimately what lies "behind the mask", your spiritual essence that determines how imposing you truly are.

It is a Rum old tale of derring do that has been kept secret for nearly eight decades, but now a poacher who staged a raid on one of Scotland's most notorious estates has made a posthumous confession.
In what reads like a Hebridean Boy's Own adventure, the story of Robert Atkinson's adventures on the island of Rum has been published 20 years after his death. The memoir traces his journey to the isle in the summer of 1938, then owned by the secretive and eccentric Sir George Bullough, to shoot a stag as a dare.
Although he and two friends from the University of Cambridge were successful in their mission, Mr Atkinson, a fruit grower from Oxfordshire, seldom spoke of his exploits for fear of prosecution. But after committing his deeds to paper, his son, Ed, has given his blessing to the publication of the manuscript.
At the time, Rum was known as the Forbidden Isle, a refuge where Sir George – the scion to an industrialist's fortune – would entertain wealthy guests while a host of gamekeepers warded off intruders.
Inspired by John Buchan's 1925 novel, John Macnab, an account of three respected friends who turn to poaching, Mr Atkinson and his fellow graduates – John Naish and Hugh Le Lacheur – resolved to render fiction into reality.
After hiring a hunting rifle and a motorboat, they set sail and landed on a beach at the opposite side of Kinloch Castle on 15 August. For the next 24 hours they crawled through ditches and hid in bushes before finally alighting on a stag.
With the animal's head as their trophy, they made good their escape during a storm. Ever since, it has been stored out of sight in Mr Atkinson's Henley-on-Thames home.
His son explained: "It was all very amateur. None of them had a clue what they were doing, other than knowing to stay upwind of an animal so their scent wouldn't be picked up.
"The book would have been a confession.
"We loved hearing the story as teenagers and it also explained the scary old head that he kept in the attic."

There's something to be said for vinyl — its warm sound, its tactility, the awesome sleeve art. (Jack White would agree.)
The Long Play (LP) record, made of grooved polyvinyl plastic, became a household staple during the 1950s but faded away with the invention of the cassette tape and the portable Sony Walkman. Compact discs later rendered both mediums obsolete, only to be replaced by MP3s.
As one technology races to outdo another, some audiophiles have rebelled and returned to music's roots. Digital download sales continue to climb, reaching 1.3 billion in 2012, but consumers also bought more than 4.6 million records in the same year — that's a 17.7% increase from 2011.
The Music Bed has created a handy infographic charting the evolution of audio and the resurgence of vinyl nostalgia.

Parent educators from across the U.S. gathered in Ferguson, Mo., Monday to share experiences and provide trauma-informed parenting support. The national forum, "Beyond Fergeson: A Journey Towards Trauma-Informed Home Visiting", kicked off the three-day Parents as Teachers 2016 national conference held in St. Louis. Parents as Teachers designed the forum for program supervisors and parent educators who serve families in communities experiencing violent crime, gang and drug activity, and other forms of historic trauma.
Ivette Morales, program supervisor at El Nido Family Centers in Los Angeles, was one of more than 60 parent educators who took part in Monday's forum. Morales said she has seen the effect that daily toxic stress has on families with young children.
"Children are not speaking at a certain age. They already know when a car drives by, they're already looking out. If a policeman comes by, there's already that untrust, they'll hide behind their moms," said Morales. "Being able to provide them that support, that guidance, 'yes you've been through something traumatic' and we're trying to better your life and better your child's life, break the cycles and move forward."
Kate McGruder is director of Early Beginnings, which serves four counties in west central Illinois. McGruder said there are similarities between urban and rural communities when it comes to toxic stress affecting families and young children.
"Even though I come from a rural area, our families struggle with similar issues that families in an urban area do: lack of resources, not consistent stable support systems, mental health issues," said McGruder. "If I can help families see that this trauma has happened to you, but it doesn't define you, and that we can work together to help you deal with these issues and be more resilient later, to be able to handle things that come their way."
Part of the discussion was building trust with parents.
"Many promises have been made to families and communities that didn't come through in a way that families need and so building trust with those families so that you can engage with them is a challenge because they don't want strangers into the home," said Cheryle Dyle-Palmer, executive vice president and chief diversity officer for Parents as Teachers National Center in St. Louis. " Every parent loves their child, that's where we start. They love their children and want the best for their children so when you start by building that trust, perhaps it'll be easier to engage them."
Morales also addressed the trust issue.
"I think for us, if we're able to build that trust where more families are enrolling in our programs and more families are staying in our program, the retention, I think for me, that's success."

When Dr. Shannon Dowler interviewed for the position of chief medical officer at Blue Ridge Community Health Services two and a half years ago, a new clinical building was just a dream.
But about four weeks ago, the dream came true, and on Tuesday, BRCHS introduced members of the community to the new facility during a private grand opening.
"I've always worked with nonprofits since finishing my residency, and normally the buildings are not this beautiful," Dowler said of the facility, where the medical staff began treating patients Sept. 26.
The staff also boasts of the number of services packed into the $7 million, 27,000-square-foot building. There is space for 15 medical providers, 24 exam rooms and two procedure rooms for family practice and pediatrics. Electronic health records eliminate paper waste and will deliver a high quality of care to the nearly 17,000 patients who visit BRCHS annually, Dowler said.
The building also houses a pharmacy, laboratory and radiology services provided in partnership with Pardee Hospital, a behavioral health wing and a community education room.
"The entire capital campaign, we've stressed the importance of the medical home," Dowler said.
Dr. MaryShell Zaffino, a family physician with BRCHS, called the new building "head and shoulders above the old buildings."
"We can take care of our patients better," Zaffino said.
"We can do procedures in the procedure room. We didn't have that before. We have our own space."
"It's certainly much more integrated, which was our goal and mission," added Dr. Ilona Csapo, a psychiatrist.
The public is invited to tour the new building from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday. The BRCHS campus is at the corner of U.S. Highway 64 East and Howard Gap Road.
For more information, visit www.brchs.com.

Michael and the busker
IT'S becoming a very minor internet sensation and was a topic of discussion on radio stations from Kerry to the midlands.
But just exactly what happened between Michael D Higgins and the busker in Killarney, the Irish Independent can now reveal. The clip on YouTube shows the presidential hopeful on a canvass of Killarney on Thursday walking up Main Street where he spots a busker. Michael D takes a €5 note from his pocket and places it in the musician's open violin case but then stoops down and appears to pick up some change.
But rest assured, the scholar did no such thing. He's the thoughtful kind.
It was a windy day in the Co Kerry town and fearful that his donation would be carried away, Michael D simply weighed it down with change.
Shame on you for thinking otherwise.

After Consumer Reports announced that the redesigned 2012 Honda Civic failed to achieve the high scores for it to get a recommendation, it now says that it has noticed a decline in the competitiveness of Honda's designs in recent years. Consumer Reports explained that Honda still produces well-rounded vehicles that are reliable and have high fuel efficiency.
In fact, several of Honda's models such as the Fit, Odyssey, and Ridgeline, as well as the Acura MDX, are ranked close to or at the top of their respective categories. However, its Top Picks list is no longer dominated by Honda.
This is just disappointing since Honda produced five of the 10 Top Picks in 2006. And if you look at their current best products (like the Fit, Ridgeline, MDX), you'd notice that these are older designs.
Honda's all-new models and the redesigned models of their key products are not quite up to par. While Honda asserts that its cars continue to be reliable, economic, and could boast of having a strong resale value, it faces fierce competition. This means that these qualities are not enough.
Consumer Reports believes that Honda's new designs are aiming to only be good enough (and not great). It says that it's partly because old assumptions have become blurry. It states that when compared to the Accord, the Ford Fusion is more reliable, quieter, and is more enjoyable to drive. Hyundai and Kia have been offering cars that are fuel-efficient and feature advanced equipment at lower prices.
On the other hand, Honda vehicles are typically priced at the upper end of the segments they're in. Consumer Reports believes that the problem could be that Honda is cutting costs to be more competitive but this hasn't been reflected on their price tags. Consumer Reports added that it hopes Honda will go back to achieving excellence in its cars.
