Seniors who care for spouses who have been hospitalized for certain serious illnesses face an increased risk of premature death, particularly in the first few months after the hospitalization, according to a study in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study, which researchers believe to be the most comprehensive to date on the health risks of caring for an aging spouse, examined nine years of medical records beginning in 1993 for 518,240 married couples enrolled in Medicare. Most of the participants were over age 70.
The researchers found that:
- Seniors whose spouses die have a 20 percent increased risk of dying prematurely.
- During the first year after the death, the risk increases from 5.6 to 6.7 percent for men who lose a spouse and from 2.6 to 3.1 percent for women who lose a spouse.
- Caring for a spouse who has been hospitalized increases the risk of premature death by about one-quarter as much as being widowed does, according to the researchers.
The diseases in seniors that most increase the risk for their spouses are psychiatric disorders and dementia:
- Men whose wives are hospitalized for psychiatric illnesses face a 20 percent increased risk of dying -- about the same as being widowed.
- Women caring for men with psychiatric illnesses face a higher risk of dying than women whose husbands die.
Conditions that have the least impact on spouses' risk include fatal illnesses such as terminal cancer, possibly because such diseases are well defined, often predictable and tend not to rob people of their lucidity until the very end, the New York Times reports.The risk of premature death is highest within 30 days of a spouse entering the hospital or dying and remains elevated for up to two years, according to the researchers.

This review is specifically written for travelers who would like to stay in a 4-star hotel in Paris but have a less stellar budget. It's a review of a hotel that has seen better days but that still displays enough of its grandeur at an address that shouts "location, location, location" to warrant looking into when in the search for a central hotel at a 3-star price.
In April, I accepted to be a France Revisited guinea pig and test the Normandy Hotel for a weekend in Paris, where I was rendez-vousing with two cousins from America. My assignment: Have a good time, meet Gary (editor of France Revisited) for lunch, send an honest hotel report.
The hotel has a must-be Right Bank location, especially if it's your first time in Paris. You're within a few blocks of the Louvre, Place Vendome, Opera Garnier, the Tuileries Garden, window shopping galore, many restaurants (naturally tourist-leaning), and several convenient metro lines. I'd been to Paris a number of times before but this was a first for the cousins. But no matter how many times you've been in Paris, you can't go wrong when you're staying in a hotel where there are about six gourmet chocolate shops within a five minute's walk, including the famed hot-chocolate venue Angelina. So the fun part was assured, as was lunch with Gary (a Japanese restaurant on rue Sainte-Anne, see the 2-Minute-Radius Guide that follows below this review). Now for the honest hotel report.
The Normandy Hotel is a former grand hotel that has clearly seen better days and that is biding its time while awaiting the corporate go-ahead for a thorough refreshing. So I'll begin with the conclusion: if you're looking for a good price on a central-as-can-be hotel that clearly has history and don't mind a haphazard, somewhat worn décor then you've come to the right place. The cousins and I felt that we'd come to the right place.
The Normandy Hotel, like the other large hotels near the Louvre and the Tuileries Garden (Meurice, Ritz, Louvre, Westin, etc.), was built to cater to the British clientele who would arrive in Paris after debarking in Normandy. It opened its doors in 1877. The overwhelmingly British clientele of the period also explains why this is called the Normandy Hotel rather than the French name and spelling Hotel Normandie.
We were able to check in early, which is another advantage of choosing recession-era travel since hotels are less likely to glower at you for arriving even a minute before check-in time. However, oddity number one, we checked in at the reception, but then we received our key at the concierge's desk on the opposite side of the lobby, as though following some 19th-century logic. Not a problem per se; it just seemed strange. The concierge was always helpful and best of all there was a distinct lack of snobbery in his attitude. Same goes for other members of the staff. In general, service was fine.
Though in need of refreshing, the Normandy really is quite appealing in a 19th-century sort of way, a welcome change from the modern minimalist hotels that have you trying to figure out what some Philippe Stark-like contraption is doing in your bathroom or wondering where they hid the TV and the mini-bar.
The décor throughout the hotel is a comely mix of French styles, with a clear longing for the Belle Epoque of the late 19th century. I didn't notice the styles at first because I was immediately struck upon entering the lobby by two chandeliers, a mix of art deco boldness and Florida resort opulence, looking for all the world like big, ungainly slabs of cut glass stuck into wood. They were undoubtedly once a sign of elegance, but now they mostly look like suicide tools for spurned lovers. Gary commented that sometimes the point of decoration in a hotel (or a resort) is simply to be noticed and to let you know that someone had to be awfully careful hanging the damn thing. I did, however, like the circular marble staircase at the back of the lobby, leading to the room; it reminded me of European museums that you visit as much for the space as for the art.
The part of the hotel that truly exudes luxury is the breakfast room. That's in part because it's the one area of the hotel that has been restored since it recently made an attempt at being a chic Italian restaurant. It didn't quite have the right sauce for that, so the restaurant closed, but it makes for a stunning breakfast room with its high ceiling decorated with the gilded initials of the hotel, NH. The breakfast buffet served there was typical and plentiful, including eggs, bacon and sausages for the Americans, cheese and sliced deli meats for the Germans and wonderful croissants, pastries and cereals for the French.
Though the hotel is no longer defined by its British travelers, the bar still leans stiffly to England with its dark wood and stuffed leather chairs. As with many English-style bars it comes off as a rather masculine place. Unfortunately, the cousins and I didn't find any men there, by which I mean barmen, since it was always closed when we rolled in after midnight with thoughts of a nightcap. That may be the natural result of staffing shortage in a delightfully faded hotel, or perhaps just someone's way of telling us that we'd had enough and should go straight to bed.
We had modest rooms that were ideal for our needs and budget. The bedding in our rooms was superb and everything was clean. Bizarrely, all rooms come with two heaters; the real heat comes from the heater/ac floor unit that, quite frankly, is not pretty and takes up valuable floor space in the more modest rooms. What were the vents in walls near the ceilings for, I wondered? Bizarre point number 2: my room came with a whirlpool bath, but there was no way to turn it on. Someone had sealed up the controls. Now, I did not ask for a whirlpool bath when reserving the room, and I was simply excited at the prospect of having a bath—my apartment in Nice only has a shower—but I was a bit disappointed to find that the whirlpool bit did not work. The bath though was heavenly. A white, fluffy robe completed the bliss.
On a tour of the hotel with Gary and the hotel's assistant director, I also visited three different junior suites, all spacious, airy and decorated in 19th century British or French style and colors; the ceilings were tall and had the original cornices. We sometimes had our doubts about the details but didn't mind the old-fashion atmosphere. The décor in some rooms is a bit threadbare and faded; not in a way that put me off, but it was obvious that the hotel group that operates the Normandy had also sealed up the knobs that control the flow of refurbishment money. Though the assistant director assured us that funds were on their way, she just couldn't say when.
The rack room prices posted on the back of bedroom doors run about 300-500 euros but that's just someone being hopeful. Gary and I decided that as the hotel now stands (spring 2009) the Normandy Hotel is a worthwhile choice for travelers if you can get a room for under, say, 180 euros (under $250 at the current exchange rate), and a very good chose at under 160 euros for the standard room, perhaps up to 190 euros more for those worn yet spacious junior suites.
For travelers not on a 4-star budget, let's hope that the funds don't flow anytime soon so as to take advantage of current pricing as found on the hotel's website and further discounted on sites such as Expedia. Breakfast may or may not be noted as being included in the indicated price, but when contacting a hotel directly, there's never any harm in asking them to include breakfast in that indicated price.
Allow me to repeat my conclusion mentioned above: if you're looking for a good price on a central-as-can-be hotel that clearly has history and don't mind a haphazard, somewhat worn décor then you've come to the right place. We did.

Your Normandy Hotel Two-Minute-Radius Guide
By Gary Lee Kraut
Half your guidebook is filled with sights and museums within a mile radius of the Normandy Hotel, so plenty to discover on foot from here. The quarter might be defined by tourism and luxury but that doesn't make it any less a neighborhood. Here is the two-minute-radius guide for the neighborhood.
Places to keep in mind for:
Your morning jog: Tuileries Garden. See Paris on the Run, an article joggable garden and parks in Paris.
You introduction to the business of operating a café-brasserie: Le Musset Café, 5 rue de l'Echelle. There's no better introduction to witnessing how things operate in a large café-brasserie in Paris then sitting at any time of day at the copper counter across the street from the hotel.
Your gas station if you forgot to fill the rental car before entering Paris: Esso, 342 rue Saint Honoré
Your grand view: Standing on Avenue de l'Opéra with a view of the Garnier Opera, the Comédie Française, the Hotel du Louvre, the Louvre, and the metro entrance circa 2000.
Eating and Drinking
Polished bistro: L'Absinthe, 24 place du Marché St Honoré. Tel 01 49 26 90 04.
Old-fashion wine bar: Le Rubis, 10 rue du Marché St Honoré. Tel 01 42 61 03 34.
Japanese restaurants: Rue Sainte-Anne, on the opposite side of Avenue de l'Opéra, is full of Japanese restaurants since food-wise it is Paris's Little Japan.
Charming little café terrace: Le Passage Saint Roch, 15 rue des Pyramides.
Chocolate: Michel Cluizel, 201 rue St. Honoré. As mentioned in the review above, there's more chocolate beyond the 2-minute radius, including hot chocolate at Angelina, the famous tea room.
Fine hotel bar, when yours is lifeless or closed: Hotel du Louvre, Place André Malraux. The Hotel du Louvre was the first luxury hotel of Paris when it opened in 1855 at what is now the Louvre des Antiquaires, across the square from the current location, which opened in 1887. The hotel is mentioned in several of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. Sigmund Freud stayed here in 1910 while trying to figure out the relationship between Mona Lisa's smile and Leonardo de Vinci's childhood.
Also in the 'hood
Unique boutique: Le Comptoir de l'Aviation, 3 rue d'Argenteuil. Articles for aviation enthusiasts. Tel. 01 42 60 26 66.
Oh la la!: L'Abys, a swinger's club at 13 rue d'Argenteuil.
Museum: Musée des Arts Décoratifs, 107 rue de Rivoli. Click here for museum site. Click here for article about its permanent collection on France Revisited.
Historical notes
Famous Frenchmen entombed nearby: Pierre Corneille (1606-1684), playwright; André Le Notre (1613-1700), father of French gardens; Charles de l'Epee (1712-1789), abbot who codified sign language; Comte de Grasse (1722-1788), count who fought in the American Revolution, notably the Battle of Yorktown, and who is honored by a plaque placed by the Cincinnati Club of France in 1931. The tombs of these men are found in Eglise Saint-Roch, corner rue St. Honoré and rue St. Roch. St. Roch is a handsome parish church whose first stone was laid in the presence of young Louis XIV in 1653 and that was completed 70 years later early in the reign of Louis XV.
Famous Frenchwoman who lived nearby: Olympe de Gouges had a pied à terre at 270 rue St. Honoré. Born 1748, widowed at 18, she was ahead of her time as a female combatant for social equality under the monarchy and then during the Revolution. She made her voice known as an abolitionist deploring black slavery and as a feminist who drafted the "Declaration of the Rights of Woman and of the Citizen" (1789) at a time when the men expanding the Revolution were touting "Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citzen" (1791). She famously declared that if a woman has a right to climb the scaffold (i.e. go to the guillotine) she has the right to climb the rostrum (i.e. to speak out). During the Terror she spoke out against the dictatorship of those who had taken power and of the need for greater democracy, which led to a cursory trial where she wasn't allowed to be represented by a lawyer, and the "right to climb the scaffold" in November 1973.

Every job comes with an honest estimate....and anytime the job requires a different look, part or approach, Bill calls to explain the differences, the money saved or added, and gets the customer's approval BEFORE committing to anything over the estimate. If the vehicle is not correctly repaired and must return for the same or very similar problem, Bill adjusts the fees accordingly. Bill offers his advice on rebuilt vs OEM parts & equipment, and leaves the decision to the customer. I've recommended this auto repair shop to several friends, and they have passed on similar experiences/support.
Jan 29, 1999
I take all my cars to Bill. He keeps a complete history of all work and repairs on every vehicle in his little computer. If I come in and say I think I need a tune-up; he checks his computer and often says: "You don't need a tune up you just had one six months ago". He will not work on your car unless he can duplicate the problem. If it is intermittant and he cannot diagnose he will tell you to drive it until he can replicate. He keeps all replaced parts for your personal review. He now has started taking pictures with a digital camera of anything he finds. His crew has been with him for over 10 years; which tells me he treats his people right; and they treat the customer right. He's located next to Randolph Air Force Base on the Northeast part of San Antonio. Try him you won't regret it.

I admit it . . . I'm a baised customer, but not related and don't own stock . . . Bill & Pat & Company are grrrrrrreat!! Have been doing buiness with them since about 1987 or so. Their work is top drawer and their prices are fair. I, my wife, and son have all bought autos through Pyramid over the years and have been super pleased with the sales and the service. One auto I bought through him had a significant problem, but he didn't hide form it he fixed it!! He stands behind his product. I agree completely with the two 1999 comments. He not only saves the parts for your review; he insists you see them whether you know what they are or not! Good naturedly, of course!! We do keep going back. I guess we'll keep them!!

Being a new Texan ( 7 months moved in ), I asked my fellow vet pals at the Converse American Legion for a reputable mech shop. I was highly disatisfied with Gunn GMC about repairs done on my 2000 GMC Sierra. The reccomendation of this shop was a most pleasurable experience in honesty, service and professionalism. Bill, his wife, and the mechanics at this shop are "TOP NOTCH" !! I would reccomend Bill's shop to anyone for general service, major repairs and if you need a used vehicle I'm sure you would get a real deal at a fair price. I'm glad I found this place - my wife's Honda Pilot and trusty old gal (GMC) will be in the care of this shop from here on out. Jim & Claire Ogilvie
Jun 26, 2003
Absolutely the best, most honest shop I've ever encountered!
Jul 09, 2009
As I wrote almost 3 years before, there is not a better, honest, professional place then here to bring your vehicles. Bill's shop takes care of my Toyota now and my wife's Pilot. The mechanics are excellent, and the owners are great - it's a happy house at this business.
Mar 21, 2005
This is a top notch shop. 100% honest. They stand behind their repairs. They never over charge or do work that is not needed. I trust them.
Aug 02, 2005
Bill and company are definitely top notch. I can't find anything the other reviewers said on which I disagree. He is honest & professional--what else can you ask for? He does call prior to doing the work so the customer can say yes or no; and if you have a computer, he'll send pics of the problem. Sometimes I think about pinching myself as he doesn't fit the negative stereotype of a mechanic.
Jul 15, 2006
My wife and I have used Bill and his company almost exclusively ( a couple of times we dealt with dealers) and we highly recommend them to anyone who needs a highly trustworthy and competent auto repair company. Randy & Cindy Hinds, San Antonio

Along with Akron/Family's "Everyone Is Guilty" I cannot stop listening to "Ladies" by Lee Fields & Expressions. Jesus—when it takes that step up to the chorus where the usually restrained Lee's voice begins to burn and the horns pop... A shaker if there ever was one. Dancing around the house, wearing grooves in the hardwood floors... The track comes from this summer's My World. Listen now and listen loud:

You can learn more about Fields, who is enjoying a sort of renaissance from his early days of the 70's the Stones Throw site. You can also grab the MP3, which of course, I recommend you do immediately. Then you'll need a low light, some soft sheets, and sex appeal, but the rest are up to you.

School History
In 1984, the Rector, Assistant Minister and Rector's Warden at St Paul's Anglican Church Bankstown decided to start an Anglican primary school, the purpose of which was to train boys for the church choir as well as provide an education. The School was called "St Paul's Choir School" as it was a school for the St Paul's Choir. The School was located in the Church Rectory and hall, the day beginning with a Chapel Service, followed by normal lessons and concluding with choir practice at the end of each day. Girls were allowed to enrol in the School from 1988.
In 1986, some of the students were approaching high school age, so the need for a secondary school arose. As the church site was fully occupied, a new building needed to be found. The Anglican and Uniting Churches in Bankstown together started Bankstown Grammar School as a joint venture; the first site being the old Methodist Church on the Hume Highway at North Bankstown. In addition to choir members, enrolments were opened to the public. In 1988 the Uniting Church withdrew from the partnership and Bankstown Grammar became an independent co-educational Anglican high school. Always looking for a permanent site with little available land in Bankstown, an opportunity arose to place the high school on land at Bankstown Airport.
This required a lot of planning with several conditions, one of which was the School would have a new name so that neither of the original Schools would seem to be taken over by the other. In 2006, the School received advice from the Commonwealth Government that the process of combining would be easier if first one School absorbed the other and then have the name change follow. This kept intact the current funding levels and stopped the School being reclassified as a new school, with the extra restrictions regarding curriculum and government financial assistance.
Accordingly, the high school name was taken for both Schools in January 2008 and St Paul's Choir School ceased to exist. The issue regarding a new name needed to be resolved and after surveying students, staff and parents in both late 2009 and early 2010, the decision to use the name "Georges River Grammar School" was taken and the school will be known by this name from January 2011. The School has been founded to provide an education with a strong Christian emphasis for the local community. The School has small numbers and will remain as small as possible to maintain a close, caring, family-type atmosphere.
Academically, the School strives to offer a wide range of traditional subjects to allow the maximum development of each individual student. A balance of Science and Humanities based subjects will be complemented by Languages, Visual Arts and Music. The School will, however, emphasise the development of each student's personal skills, in the belief that these are central to academic attainment. Although the intake of the school is academically non-selective and comprehensive in nature, the curriculum will be structured to stretch the abilities of each student in as non-stressful a manner as possible.

CopyPress only assigns work to certified creatives and creatives who have been hired for a specific campaign.
Completing a certification does not guarantee that a writer/editor will receive work from CopyPress. Certified writers/editors are added to our roster of working creatives and will be offered projects only when we have a campaign that matches their skill level. Only high-quality creatives who continually provide awesome copy (that requires little editing) will be offered consistent projects.
What Impacts a Creative's Workload?
The number of assignments that writers and editors receive relies on a few factors.
The Creative's Skill Level
Writers/editors who consistently do the best work are given priority in assigning. Consistently submitting quality work improves a writer's/editor's score. Conversely, writers/editors can decrease that score by consistently submitting sub-par work.
Writer/editor skill level is based on the following categories:
- Mechanics/Sentence Writing
- Grammar/Spelling
- Editing/Feedback
- This includes communicating in a constructive way. Tone is important.
- Client Requirements from Style guide
If the writer and editor ensure these categories are all up to high standards, they will be given the most work.
Failure to produce in even one of these categories can significantly reduce chances of work.
The Creative's Status with CopyPress
New writers/editors may receive a very limited number of assignments until the writer/editor is comfortable with our process, system, and requirements. Once a writer/editor has proved that they can work in our system, they will receive more work.
The Creative's Availability
CopyPress asks certified writers/editors for their desired workload. There is no minimum or maximum number of articles you must complete in a week.
- For Blog Writers: How many 500-word articles they would like in any given week.
- For Copy Writers: How many 100-word articles they would like in any given week.
- For Editors: How many hours they would like to work in any given month.
- For Specialty Campaigns (anything that is not general Blog Content or Copy): How many 500-word articles they would like in a given week.
Those numbers help us determine how much work we can assign to each writer/editor, but as stated above, we always assign our highest level contractors their desired workload first. Please notify firstname.lastname@example.com with any changes to your requested workload.
The Creative's Community Profile and Portfolio
When CopyPress brings on new campaigns and we need writers with experience in a specific niche market or industry, we search our member directory. Writers who have samples that match our needs will be offered assignments first. So it is extremely important to have a developed Community profile that lists your experience and a complete portfolio that displays your past work.
CopyPress' Workload
Our workload is heavily influenced by our client orders, so our available workload for writers can fluctuate from week to week.
How To Get More Assignments
All of these factors determine how much work our creatives receive. If you would like to increase the odds of getting assignments you can:
- Submit another practical test if you received a B or lower on your certification. Writers who receive A's on their tests will receive the most assignments (unless their scores decrease due to poor performance).
- Send a request to increase your availability to email@example.com via the instructions above.
- If you have a blog, apply for more opportunities by going to copypresswriters.com.
- Apply for more opportunities. Use our job board to find out how to get involved with more CopyPress campaigns.
- Complete your Community profile so that all of your experience is listed and all of your writing samples are available. CopyPress often uses the Community network to find writers for special campaigns.
- Follow directions. Submit your work on time. Do awesome work.
How a writer/editor performs and manages work directly impacts the number of assignments they receive. Submitting work late, failing to following directions, using a rude tone when communicating, and submitting low quality work will decrease the chances that writers/editors will be assigned.
Do not email editors or project managers requesting more work.

There's really no way to answer this because it all depends upon your girlfriend. If she is the type who likes the romance and wants the show and pomp of a royal wedding, you better make it good ;)
If, on the other hand, she is someone who is very down to earth and doesn't like a lot of attention and "hooha" then just keep it simple. Personally, I would be really ticked if my boyfriend did what seems to be all the rage right now and propose to me in front of a zillion people - I would be very ticked AND embarassed!
Having said all of that, whatever you do, you better make it sincere and not seem like an afterthought - although some women may not even care about that!

Ethereal art is always lovely, but I think also that your own thoughts on the piece really nails down just what it is about fantasy that is so captivating, that it's always just in the corners of your eyes, in reflections, just outside of your grasp.
Прекрасно *-*
wow great moon lady
Congrats on DD!
Lovely ! ... really amazing drawing and beautiful composition !

I really really love your style, it reminds me a little of art nouveau with your heavy outline and mix of solids and gradients.
Thank you! On my opinion art nouveau is one of the most elegant sculpturesque and romantic styles ever. So it's so nice you can see it in my artworks.

Teachers' Eligibility Test exam cancelled in Maharashtra after paper leak
Lakhs of students who appeared for the Teachers' Eligibility Test (TET) on Saturday at different centres across Maharashtra were in for a rude shock after Paper I was over. The said paper was leaked and so is declared cancelled now. It will be rescheduled in near future.
While the paper was scheduled for Saturday from 10.30am to 1pm, the question paper was seen on Whatsapp in Pune while the list of answers were seen on Whatsapp in Beed. A candidate was caught with a video of question answers in Dhule. All this transpired during the first one hour of the examination schedule.
Police complaints have been made at respective places for further investigation while principal secretary of the education department has been asked to submit an investigation report in next 48 hours. While Paper I was cancelled, there were no changes in Paper II as it was conducted smoothly.
Mahavir Mane, Director of Maharashtra State Council of Examination (MSCE), which conduct the examination, said, "This is shocking. After knowing of these incidents, within one hour from the start of the paper, the decision was taken to cancel the paper. Police complaints have been filed for further investigation while departmental inquiry continues. The leak was observed in Beed, Dhule and Pune but in other parts of the state the test was conducted smoothly. However, the paper stands cancelled for entire state and we will soon reschedule it." Mane told mid-day that, in total 1,74,163, candidates appeared for Paper I on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Education Minister Vinod Tawde stated through a tweet, "TET paper leak is a serious issue! Principal Secretary Nandkumar is instructed to take action and submit an investigative report in 48 hours. Even top officials involved in TET paper leak will have to face grave repercussions and strict actions will be taken against the offenders."
When contacted, Principal Secretary for Education Department, Nand Kumar, confirmed the leak. "The investigation is on, and further decision about rescheduling of the paper will be taken in due course of time."

'True Blood' Recap: Burning Down The House
S4E10: Man, maybe I've just gone stir-crazy from being trapped in the apartment all weekend (thanks, Irene!), but that was a pretty good episode. And a surprisingly emotional one. I've maintained before that True Blood is a show that works best as a comedy, but there are certain relationships at its heart that are capable of bearing dramatic weight – Eric and Pam, or Sookie and Jason, for instance. This episode did a good job of passing a lot of the work of the plot to these emotional connections, and I think it made it a more successful episode than one based solely on advancing the plot.
"You've been gone a long time, Antonia. I don't think you remember what people are really like." – Marnie
For instance, let's look at the finale of the episode, where Jesus goes into the Magic shop in order to communicate with Mantonia. It ends up being a very tense scene, tenser than True Blood is usually capable of, for two reasons. First, because of the earlier conversation between Marnie and Antonia where Marnie reveals that she's the real driving force behind the vengeance kick, we know that Jesus' attempts to talk appeal to her are bound to fail. Second, because Lafayette, whose relationship adorability with Jesus was reaffirmed last episode, was right there behind the truck watching the entire event unfold. And, because Jesus is a minor enough character to be disposed of in a Tommy-like manner, there's a distinct possibility that he could get killed that you don't get when, for example, Sookie gets shot.
And well, Tommy does die this episode. I've been running out of patience with the kid, but I guess of all the Mickenses he was the least terrible. And he certainly had a backstory that was pathetic enough to make you feel bad for him, even if you didn't like him. And unlike some guest stars, he was only insufferable part of the time. Which is not the best epigraph, but sometimes you've got to make due. I have to wonder if obliquely resulting in Tommy's death is enough to give Sam shapeshifter powers, but I hope not. Sam's got enough on his plate, what with the upcoming revenge that he's going to exact on Marcus's face. Alcide's abrupt shift (heh) to helping Sam seems sudden, since I'm pretty sure they've never met. It might be a good move, since Sam and Alcide both have that beleaguered good-guy thing going for them. Maybe they could just run off together to New Orleans.
Speaking of bromance, the saga of Jason and Hoyt continues when Jason tries to convince Jessica to glamour him after their truck-based romp. I'd have more sympathy for Jason if he hadn't made so many terrible love-life decisions in the past. If Jessica reverses his memory every time he's made a mistake, how is he ever going to learn not to be so goddamn irresponsible? I can feel for Jessica's desire for a murder-spree, her life is complicated. Further compounding Jason's guilt, Hoyt shows up at his doorstep looking for a place to stay. Where I Hoyt, I might be more concerned about the baby kidnapping that went on there and the buried woman in the backyard, but Hoyt's still focused on Jessica. While this is the kind of angst I usually dread from the show, the relationship dynamic between the three is a strong enough one to make this all watchable.
"If it's got anything to do with vampires, no thank you. I'll just sleep in my truck." – Jason
Now, just because some of the emotional stuff worked, doesn't mean all of it did. Old Eric seems to have returned, but retained Amnesia Eric's propensity for terrible dialogue. This meant that there was an adorable reunion between Eric and Pam, and an interesting scene where Pam realizes that she might not be the most important woman in Eric's life anyone. But it also means that Sookie has suddenly decided that she wants to be with Bill again, (despite all the lying and manipulating) which leads Eric to snark at him all through his King-speech. The Eric and Bill fight at the start of the episode makes it abundantly clear that the only real solution to this dull love triangle is for the two of them to duke it out. Perhaps with oil. Bill is significantly more interesting when he's spending time with Jessica, or Nan (who he tries to oust out of vampire politics) than when he's moping around Sookie. Can you imagine the Bill of season two leading a black-ops vampire team to Shreveport? I don't think so. And man, am I excited to see that next episode.
Best Moments:
I didn't talk about the scenes with Terry's gun therapy, but there were a pretty not-terrible conclusion to a terrible subplot. And man, do I really like Terry.
– "No drugs for me! Except for the anti-psychotics."
– "You were too old for booties!" "I wasn't too old for socks!"
"I don't care what happens as long as I get to kill shit!"
Oh man, if someone was able to harness the power of Tara's bitchiness, we could solve global warming indefinitely.
"If she would've god-damned let her parakeet rest in peace…"
I loved the silvered Nan handing out death sentences like they were candy.
"Glad to know that I'm not just chicken-shit."
"We've got our very own vampires in the ladies room."

As this post goes live, we will be merely days away from returning 'home'. Prior to our move and shortly after we arrived, we were prepared by our organisation for the initial challenges of change and cultural adjustment. Repatriating, we have found a gaping hole. There is very little support in preparing us for the transition 'home'.
Repatriation is difficult to understand if you've never experienced it. Many people perceive returning expats (repats) as being overly nostalgic, affected, resentful and difficult to relate to at times. I mean, repats are returning 'home', so what's so hard about it? Well, for us 'home' is where we have lived for the past few years. We have carved out lives here, we work here, have friends here and here is where our normal and familiar is.
Researching repatriation, I have discovered that the process of returning is extremely challenging for most. Most repats experience depression, anxiety, grief, isolation and reverse culture shock that may last for up to 12 months. Friends and family just wish you'd stop talking about your old life and get back to normal, back to reality. But what you really need will be their support, patience and understanding.
Friends and family have changed since we moved away due to life experiences, as have we. I am acutely aware that some friendships won't last the test of reconnecting and that has to be ok. That's life. Another stressor however, is how this next phase will affect and test our relationship as we move from being a single income family with pressures of life abroad to a double income family with the additional pressures of the everyday plus transitioning back to a Western culture. Relationship breakdowns are common within repat communities.
Having worked for only a short while during our posting, additional anxiety is emerging for me about returning to work. Have I lost my knowledge and skills and have I still 'got it'? Will I cope with the long hours and a job that is mentally and emotionally demanding? How will I establish a work/life balance and not burn out? Will colleagues understand if I have a mini meltdown due to stress or anxiety about settling back into Australia (reverse culture shock)?
So. with all of this in mind, we cross our fingers and hope for a relatively smooth transition into our previous lives. I'll keep you posted..

HTC has said it has fixed a security flaw that exposes its users' Wi-Fi credentials on its Android handsets.
The flaw had been discovered in September by two researchers, who claimed it could allow hackers to send all stored Wi-Fi network credentials, including usernames, passwords and SSID information, to a separate server.
On a note on its website, HTC said it had developed an update to fix the issue. It said: 'Most phones have received this fix already through regular updates and upgrades. However, some phones will need to have the fix manually loaded. Please check back next week for more information about this fix and a manual download if you need to update your phone.'
The researchers who discovered the flaw praised HTC for its action and said the manufacturer was 'very responsive and good to work with'.
In a separate statement, HTC said it had not disclosed the flaw for several months because it did not want to draw attention to the vulnerability. A spokesman said: 'HTC takes customer data security very seriously. If there is a known breach of sensitive customer data, our priority is customer notification along with corrective actions... For this specific Wi-Fi bug issue, we worked closely with Google and the security researchers from the date of notification and throughout this process to ensure that the majority of affected HTC phones had already received the fix prior to the vulnerability being made public.'

Friends, what they're Waiting On, is for MOSUL to be secure....... AND OIL to move upward out of the 30's. These (2) things simultaneously.....That's All there is.

wmawhite Quote: "under Article VIII of the IMF's Articles of Agreement will send a positive signal to the investment community that Iraq is committed to maintain an exchange system that is free of restrictions and MCPs for current international transactions and thus facilitate creation of a favorable business climate."
As the CBI moves from the MCP [multiple currency practice] ...the IQD will take it true position somewhere on this list of currency value... where, I do not know.
1 Egyptian Pound = $0.13
1 Jordanian Dinar = $1.41
1 Qatar Riyal = $0.27
1 Bahraini Dinar $2.65
1 Israeli Shekel = $0.26
1 Saudi Riyal = $0.27
1 United Arab Emirates Dirham = $0.27
1 Omani Riyal = $2.59
1 Kuwaiti Dinar = $3.31
1 Iraqi Dinar $0.00085
Because of all of the discussion we are seeing about the auctions...IMO, we are about to see this final move away from the MCP.

Dear Dr. Clarke

Well, good for you Dr. Clarke!! You are interpreting the Intel properly. Ignore the rate, it will look after itself. The date is the key and will not be arrived at until the security reaches international acceptability. Mosul is the next big challenge. If they can clean out Mosul the other pockets will disappear rapidly. However theses pockets are the ones rocking Bagdad with suicide bombs. Once Mosul is looked after and no disturbances in the capital, a period of peace must elapse as a guarantee of security acceptable internationally

Bluetooth Audio and Video Streaming on the Java ME Platform
This paper investigates the feasibility of Bluetooth as a protocol for audio and video streaming between mobile phones using the Java ME platform. A comparison is made between Radio Frequency COMMunications (RFCOMM) protocol and the Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol (L2CAP) to determine which protocol can support the fastest transfer speed between two mobile devices. The L2CAP protocol is shown to be the most suitable, providing average transfer rates of 136.17 KBps. Using this protocol a second experiment is undertaken to determine the most suitable media format for streaming in terms of: file size, bandwidth usage, quality, and ease of implementation.

The Broad Residency Class of 2010-2012
Director of Excellence in Programming, Choice Foundation
I want to live in a New Orleans where the school system is reflective of the diverse and culturally rich city we live in. We're not quite there yet, but that's the vision.
In graduate school, Naressa Cofield published several papers on the topic of "phytoremediation" of soil contaminated by petroleum products and other pollutants. In phytoremediation, plants are used to absorb and metabolize unsafe chemicals, optimizing the environment so living things can thrive.
As the director of excellence in programming for Choice Foundation public charter schools in New Orleans, Naressa now uses data to remove bureaucratic barriers in schools so educators can focus on teaching and learning. One might say she is still working to improve environments. She's just dedicating her efforts to a different kind of environment.
Growing up in rural Alabama, educators helped Naressa develop a lifelong love of learning. "Our teachers used basic things, items you would find around your house, to teach us science principles," she said. "Because of those experiences, I love science. I want to provide those same experiences for all kids."
In college, Naressa studied ecotoxicology at Alabama A&M University, focusing on how humans are affected by environmental changes. She continued in the field at Purdue University, earning her master's and doctorate degrees. Later, she was accepted into Johnson & Johnson's Engineering Leadership Development Program, where, among other things, she helped the company develop its global environmental compliance goals.
Throughout, Naressa also volunteered in her local schools. But, as she puts it, "There wasn't a direct mechanism to have broader, systemic impact. I did things like tutoring and volunteering, but I don't think schools and systems were equipped to leverage the expertise and skills that someone like me has to offer."
While working at Johnson & Johnson as an operations engineer, Naressa received an email about The Broad Residency. "They asked if I was interested in a career where I could shape the future of education and
our nation," she said. "My heart stopped beating. I thought, 'This is exactly what I want to do.'"
Naressa was accepted into the Residency and worked as a consultant with the Superintendent's Delivery Unit, where she developed strategic targets linked to priority reform efforts and partnered with key agency leaders, stakeholders, senior app
ointed and elected officials to ensure educational priorities and plans were translated into student outcomes. Now, she oversees strategic initiatives for the New Orleans-based Choice Foundation, using data to help schools work well for educators and students.
Naressa recently introduced a shared information system across Choice Foundation to track student performance. Before the system was in place, if a student was absent, for example, teachers had to notify several people. Unsurprisingly, sometimes that happened and sometimes it didn't. The lack of shared knowledge allowed proverbial cracks to form and the students who needed the most help were the ones who were most likely to fall through them.
"I hate inefficiencies," she said. "It makes me really happy to streamline and automate school processes so educators can focus on helping students achieve."
Thanks to Naressa's efforts, each person responsible for providing student support can act on information immediately. That means they don't have to wait to start working with students and their families to make sure kids are coming to school and getting the support they need as soon as they need it.
Additionally, Naressa's work allows parents to get more involved with their children's studies. Choice recently rolled out a portal allowing parents to see information on their children's grades and attendance.
There isn't a day that goes by that Naressa isn't grateful she made the switch from engineering to public education. Every day, the students for whom she works show her that she is appreciated, too. "Whether I'm walking into schools or running around town, kids recognize me. They may not know what I do, but they know I work to help their teachers get better and they want to introduce me to their parents and families. I really enjoy that."

Finding Terrorist Needles: The Automated Targeting System
|International & National Security Law Practice Group
On any given day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in charge of the nation's borders, processes almost a quarter-million people seeking to enter the United States through international airports like JFK in New York. Most are like us—people going about their business, seeking to enter the country legally, living ordinary lives. They are U.S. citizens, lawful permanent resident aliens, aliens possessing non-immigrant visas (such as student or work visas), or individuals traveling under the Visa Waiver Program. Some are refugees or asylum seekers. But regardless of their legal status, most mean no harm, and bring significant benefits to our country. Indeed, this massive flow of people across international boundaries—not just the U.S. border—is perhaps the essential lifeblood of the U.S. and global economy. Our prosperity, and the global integration of economies and societies, depends on the unhindered ability of people to move and conduct business around the world, and access, deploy, and nurture talent anywhere....

Family fed up, suing after home floods multiple times during nearby road project
ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (WJBK) - Phillip and Mary Penberthy and their 16-year-old son have been forced to live in a hotel room for the last four months after a project to widen Hamlin Road in Rochester Hills went terrible wrong.
"Water was flooding in the basement from the first floor. So we ran down there; sewage was dropping all over," Phillip remembers.
According to the city attorney, Consumers Energy decided to take advantage of the project and hired a contractor to replace a pipeline. By mistake, workers pierced the Penberthy's private sewage pipe, causing massive amounts of waste to flow into their bathroom, kitchen, several bedrooms and the basement.
"They could have hit a gas main, but they hit our sewer. Nothing was marked out there. They had been asking the city for days to mark the stuff and the city would not do it and this is what happened," Mary says.
The crew repaired the line and the family did their best to clean up the mess, moving much of the stuff they could salvage into the gararge. One month later, though, they say another sub contractor pierced a water main that ended up flooding the garage.
"Non stop! It's unbelievable," Mary says.
But it didn't end there.
They say the repair job to the sewage line didn't hold, sending more sewage flowing into their house -- the very next day.
"At that point, I just felt like we were under attack," Phillip says.
Their four bedroom farmhouse that has been in the family since 1967 is now unlivable, a shell of what it use to be and covered in mold. With the help of their attorney Adam Cohen, the Penberthys are going after the city of Rochester Hills.
"This is the city's fault. What you have to understand is that the city took the Penberthy's property without their consent by imminent domain to widen Hamlin Road. None of this disaster would have happened absent that taken," Cohen says.
He tells us the battle has now moved to the courtroom. The Penberthys are asking for $250,000 dollars in damages. A judge will consider the motion next week.
The Penberthys say they have lost thousands of dollars in belongings and in clean up costs. They just want to find a way to save their house.
The city attorney told FOX 2's Taryn Asher the city is not accepting liability. Although it is a city project, the attorney says the blame lies with the separate sub-contractors who pierced the watermain and sewer line. The attorney added that the city is paying to put the Penberthys in a hotel room and to store their remaining items, but the rest needs to be taken care of by the contractors.
We'll see how this one plays out in court.
