Yesterday was the Feast of St. Mark, the Evangelist, who was also known as John Mark. His narrative of the life of Jesus was the first to be written, and was chosen by the Church to take its place among only three other Gospel accounts considered accurate and genuinely God-inspired.
It was the home of Mark and his mother where Peter went after being released
from jail by an angel (Acts 12:12). Church tradition claims that Jesus appeared
to His disciples in Mark's house after His Resurrection, and its large upper
room was where the Holy Spirit was poured out upon believers gathered on the
Day of Pentecost.
Nineteen years after Christ's ascension, Mark traveled to Africa and founded
the Church at Alexandria. The pagans in Alexandria resented his efforts to turn
the populace from their traditional gods. In 68 AD, they captured John Mark,
put a rope around his neck, and dragged him through the streets until he was
dead. He is honored by the Coptic Church as the founder of Christianity in
Africa, and his symbol is the lion.
What a courageous witness for the Lord…so courageous that the Church chose a
lion to symbolize Mark's ministry!
But Mark's first attempt at ministry ended in disaster. In fact, he made
such a mess of things that Paul refused to have anything to do with him! Mark
was considered unpredictable, unreliable, and a liability to the Church. A lion?
Mark and his family played prominent in the early church. They were closely
acquainted and worked side by side with the Apostles, even hosting meetings in
their home. Therefore, it seemed normal for Paul to choose Mark as his promising
new assistant for his first missionary journey.
However, something went wrong along the way. We're not told exactly what
happened, but when planning a second trip, Paul adamantly refused to add Mark
to the roster (Acts 15: 36-41). In verse 38, Paul uses a strong word, stating
Mark "departed from them in Pamphylia,
and went not with them to the work."
Many translations use the word deserted,
but a look at the original Greek word gives us insight into how seriously Paul
perceived the abandonment. It comes from the same root as "apostasy". He
considered Mark a total write off in terms of serving God.
Arguing on behalf of giving Mark a second chance was his uncle, Barnabas. His
name means "Son of Comfort, Encouragement." Forget the fact that he was a relative.
His name denotes the prevailing motive behind his words and actions: He was an
encourager. On the other hand, Paul was a "get with the program or get out" apostle.
Although he tempered in his later years, he was known to run a tight ship and
had little patience for floundering.
All sorts of people have weighed in over the years as to why Mark dropped out
on the adventure of a lifetime. The Scriptures show Barnabas taking a back seat
to the converted Paul once he arrived on the scene. Initially, Barnabas headed
up several mercy and evangelistic tours. He was the one who introduced Paul to
the Apostles in Jerusalem. Barnabas was one of the first teachers of the church
at Antioch. When the work grew greater than one person could manage, Barnabas
chose Paul to be his assistant for a year. Some scholars suggest Mark was troubled
over Paul's rise to prominence over his uncle. Other people believe he simply
got homesick. I tend to favor the notion that Mark was just not ready for
the hardships he encountered.
It's one thing to say you are prepared to face persecution and troubles; quite
another to encounter them. The area they traveled was riddled with bandits, and
Paul's message attracted both political and religious enemies. Dangers lay at
every turn with no promise of a decent meal or lodging along the way. Mark was
probably overwhelmed. As the journey progressed, fears and self-doubts
Let's return to the intense argument between Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15.
Verse 39 records that the contention was so sharp between the two of them that
they "departed asunder one from the
other". (Again, there's the English word departed. However, it is a different word altogether in the Greek, meaning "to part
company". As a result, Paul chose Silas as his ministry companion and headed
toward Syria and Cilcia; Barnabas and Mark went to Cyprus.
We hear nothing else from the Bible about the outcome of the Cyprus mission. Apparently,
it went well. Barnabas is traditionally identified as the founder of the
Cypriot Church. He is also mentioned briefly by Paul in 1 Corinthians 9:6 as a
fellow laborer for the Lord. It is generally believed that upon Barnabas' death
by stoning in 61 AD, Mark privately interred his body.
Church tradition states that Mark became
Peter's scribe and interpreter. (How appropriate for Mark to sit at the feet of
another man well acquainted with failure AND redemption!) Many historians agree
that the Apostle was the source of information for Mark's Gospel account, which was penned right before his own martyrdom in 68 AD.
Are you a ministry reject? Has a church, denomination, or Christian organization
disqualified you because of a failed mission? Do you believe the Lord has
written you off, as well?
You didn't commit adultery; you didn't steal from the coffers or misrepresent
the Faith…you were in over your head. Perhaps you grew afraid. The battlefield was
very different from the classroom. Maybe your resolve wasn't as tough as you confessed
for such an assignment.
After thirty years in ministry, I've seen so many Christian men and women
resign themselves to the pews. They refuse to take noble risks. They are
convinced that extraordinary adventures are for well-equipped, more spiritually
mature Christians.
I truly believe Mark's ministry blunder occurred because he just wasn't ready
to undertake such an arduous and extended assignment. Barnabas accurately
discerned there was nothing wrong with Mark's character or his calling.
Three years after his first attempt, Mark took a smaller mission to Cyprus with
Barnabas and helped start a successful church in that region.
Beloved, there is nothing wrong with your character or calling,
either. But maybe you can't hear this truth because of the stinging, blatant
rejection of that "Paul"—that church, denomination, or organization. The
solution is simple: Pray for God to send you a Barnabas, a "Son of Comfort, of
Encouragement" to take you under his or her ministry wing.
I know how deeply this type of rejection hurts. When we moved into a new
Communion, my previous ordination was considered invalid, but the leaders were
willing to examine me for a new commission. I took a battery of tests along
with four other candidates.
I'll never forget the day I received the call from the bishop stating that my
test results sent up some "red flags" among the committee members. They concluded
that I could not be commissioned in good conscience for ministry at that time.
However, the other four candidates were cleared.
I'm not happy when I say this because it hurts to see fellow Christians falter
and go through hard times; but none of those four are in the ministry today!
It took me a long time to work through the embarrassment (I had already sent
out my recommendation letters to friends and family) and the ever-present
temptations toward seething in anger and bitterness. Yet, I NEVER questioned
God's call upon my life. That was settled years ago. I had navigated many shark-infested
waters as a woman minister, and as one who grew up in the ultra-conservative
Bible Belt!
I remained a member of that Communion, but realized that I did not need them to
validate or commission me to serve God and His people with my ministry gifts.
Instead of attacking their Paul-like approach, I remained positive and looked
for people with a Barnabas heart. Barnabases seem to know when you're ready to
try again; and they'll have your back when you do—even if it costs them their
reputation or a friendship.
You see, many churches and ministries run predominately on man-made rules.
Unfortunately, they measure a Christian's success by how quickly they get their
act together and enter some sort of service. Otherwise, you are not worth much to
God or to them (or so it is subtlety implied).
You quickly volunteer for all sorts of things that you either don't like or don't
feel equipped to handle because it pleases the leadership. They continue to
expect more from you—more meetings, more training sessions, more "spiritual"
activities—until one day you've had enough. You find the courage to finally be
yourself, but lack the courage to face the stern jury.
Or perhaps YOU initiated all that volunteering. You signed up to be in charge
of something big, and you misjudged the demands and complexities required. You found
yourself over your head and beyond your abilities. You blew it—big time.
Regardless of what happened and how, you retreated into a cave. While offering
some security, its walls always remind you of how you got there. God forbid, but maybe even the Pauls in your
life prefer you to remain a cave dweller—as long as you continue to tithe and
such. But know this: God doesn't like for His people to dwell in caves. Just
ask Elijah. (1 Kings 19:1-18)
Again, let me say: There is nothing wrong with your character or your calling!
God wants to partner with you in exploits that will greatly further His Kingdom
here on earth—yes, YOU! Ask for a Barnabas that will provide the right environment
for you to blossom and release your gifts to the world.
Will you spend the rest of your life thinking you failed God? Will you forever
sit in the corner of the Church-at-large wearing a dunce hat that reads "Been
there, done that, blew it"?
Make Mark your patron saint and example. Forgive and get past the estimations
of man. Acknowledge that some people, like Timothy, flourish under the
leadership of a Paul. Others do better under a Barnabas. There are diverse
styles of leadership and ministries available to men and women called from all
walks of life and temperaments. We're in this together!
The goal is to see Christ's redemptive work spread throughout the world. Who
knows? Those who earlier disqualified you may one day recognize the value of
your ministry. It happened to Mark.
Toward the end of his life, Paul was imprisoned in Rome, forsaken by many of
his fellow ministers. He wrote to Timothy, asking him to bring Mark as soon as
possible for "…he is profitable (in
the Greek-"very useful") to me for the ministry." (2 Timothy 4:11).

Display Position Oddities - Ubuntu 16.04
Initially, I had no extra display at all, however after switching back to the nouveau drivers, the extra display worked (after a computer reboot).
The problem is that if I want to change the display order (which screen is on which side), I get odd results.
Sometimes when I change the position of the displays, my laptop screen stops displaying anything, and the built in screenshot tool shows only a single screen if I press print screen.
Sometimes when I change the position of the displays, the external monitor shows half of was was previously on each display (half of one, half of the other). Similarly the screenshot tool shows only a single display.
In both cases, the Screen Display control panel still shows both monitors. I can switch back to the original configuration. Frequently this gives me 2 functional screens again, but in one case it did not.
I have not been able to find a specific pattern or set of circumstances that cause this problem, but I am able to repeatedly cause this problem, though sometimes it takes a few iterations of swapping the screen positions.
TLDR; Odd things are happening that I can't explain and are a bit irritating, but it sorta kinda works.
Edit: After a reboot, either one of the two odd display problems can come back, fiddling with the positions a couple of times has resolved the problem everytime (so far).

Navigating choppier waters
12 December 2017
After 2017's stellar performance, how will Emerging Markets (EM) fare in 2018? We remain positive on the cyclical outlook as EM economies are supported by strong external demand from the G3 economies and improving domestic demand. However, this will only be part of the EM story in 2018. While 2017 was characterised by strong demand out of China, rising commodity prices, and broadly improving global trade, EM specifics will play a larger role in 2018. Similarly, unlike 2017, the EM political calendar is heavy (see Table 1) adding a higher level of uncertainty over the policy and growth outlook.
Starting with India and China – we are in line with the consensus for 2018 Indian growth at 7.0%, but slightly below consensus on China expecting 6.2% growth in 2018. After the twin disruptions in India of demonetization and the sales tax, growth is set to improve in 2018. Consumption should remain strong and may even improve on pent-up demand following the disruptions, fiscal spending could get a boost ahead of the 2019 general elections and investment will improve marginally. That said, we remain cautious due to still-low capacity utilisation levels and uncertainty around a rebound in private investment. Additionally, we still have questions around India's data in that there are very few underlying indicators that corroborate official growth rates. Among electricity consumption, PMIs, industrial production, imports, or corporate revenues, there are very few data points that point to growth running as high as the official rates (see Chart 11). Nonetheless, we believe the Indian economy is moving in the right direction and that the recently implemented reforms and bank recapitalisation announcement will eventually pay off. In China, we are forecasting 6.2% growth in 2018, slightly below consensus. Our below consensus forecast assumes policy efforts to tighten local government financing, curb consumer loans, and enhance financial regulatory tightening will cause growth to decelerate. However, these can be partially offset by stable external demand, a healthier housing backdrop after destocking efforts, and capital controls that will limit outflows amidst Fed tightening. That said, imbalances have continued to grow and there are significant risks to our somewhat benign (albeit below consensus) view.
In Russia and Brazil, we are slightly below consensus. In Russia we are forecasting 1.7% growth, marking a slight deceleration from this year as Russian growth falls back towards potential. Household consumption should remain robust, but investment growth is likely to be lower next year – corporate profits will likely weaken and destocking will largely be absent. Fiscal spending is also likely to be tighter for 2018, though some pick-up is expected ahead of elections in March. Long-standing structural weaknesses, including rigidities in the labour market, are likely to restrict potential growth in the medium-term. In Brazil, we are expecting growth near 2.2%, slightly below consensus. Household consumption is clearly recovering due to lower interest rates and labour market stabilisation, but we expect a slow recovery in business investment due to low levels of capacity utilisation and high levels of political uncertainty leading up to the presidential election in October. Furthermore, fiscal imbalances remain a serious risk, as public debt is unlikely to stabilise in the absence of structural reforms.

The taxonomic status of Thamnobryum maderense (Kindb.) Hedenas (Bryopsida) as inferred from molecular data
Stech, Michael; Ros, Rosa Maria; Werner, Olaf
Nova Hedwigia Band 72 Heft 1-2 (2001), p. 251 - 257
21 references
published: Feb 1, 2001
CpDNA trnLUAA intron and nrDNA ITS2 sequences of six specimens of Thamnobryum alopecurum (three from the Iberian Peninsula, each one from Morocco, Tenerife and Germany) and four specimens of T. maderense (two from the Iberian Peninsula and two from Morocco) are completely identical, except for one substitution in the trnL intron of T. alopecurum from Germany and one substitution in the ITS2 of T. alopecurum from Morocco and Tenerife. In contrast, Thamnobryum pandum from New Zealand differs in 7 substitutions in the trnL intron and in 3 substitutions and one indel in the ITS2. In the single most parsimonious tree inferred from a combined data set of both molecular markers, the genus Thamnobryum is monophyletic and separated from species of two other genera of the Thamnobryaceae (Porothamnium stipitatum, Porotrichum usagarum). The T. alopecurum/T. maderense specimens form a polytomous branch separated from T. pandum. It is concluded from the molecular similarity that Thamnobryum maderense should not be regarded as a distinct species, but should rather be included in T. alopecurum. A new taxonomic combination is proposed: Thamnobryum alopecurum var. maderense comb. nov.
Thamnobryum alopecurum var. maderense comb. nov. • T. maderense • T. alopecurum • cpDNA trnLUAA intron • nrDNA ITS2 • sequence similarity

Q. We see in the grant overview and instructions that you do not fund religious institutions. We are interested in undertaking a project that addresses a significant need in our community. Would you consider a grant application from us?
A. We have funded churches who are involved with a project that would benefit the entire community. An example of this is a church that undertook a project to supply a backpack and school supplies to all students in the school in their community. The church had many other partners in the community who support this project with dollars and volunteer hours.
Q. We are an organization that does not have a 501c3, 5 or 6 or 170b federal income tax designation, but we have an idea for a project that would benefit our community. What does it mean to affiliate with another entity that has this designation? Who might that be?
A. To affiliate with another organization that has a federal tax designation as a 501c 3, 5 or 6 or 170b means to ask this organization if they are willing to receive the funds and pay the bills for your project. Many times there are foundations that would agree to manage your funds for you. Units of government such as city and county governments and schools have a 170b designation. Often these entities are willing to act as a fiscal agent, if they see that your project will benefit their community.
Q. We are a new organization and have just received confirmation that we have been designated as a 501c3 charitable organization. We need funds to hire someone to help us get organized and develop a website . Would you fund this?
A. No. We do not approve grants for organization start ups or for salaries or wages of individuals. We also do not fund items consumable items such as food or diapers. We do not fund stipends, lodging or travel.

Over the weekend, USA Today reported that the EPA had been inundated with requests for Great Lakes Restoration Initiative funding. The paper reports:
The Environmental Protection Agency recently noted on its website that it had received 266 applications seeking a total of $124 million in funding, more than three times the $40 million that the agency had available under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
In the article, Tim Eder, executive director of the Great Lakes Commission, puts forward a compelling case that restoration funding needs to be restored to tackle the suite of threats facing the Lakes:
Eder said the massive request for money underscores a need to fully fund the entire Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at $475 million, the amount President Barack Obama requested and Congress approved in his budget for fiscal year 2010.
The article underscores why Congress needs to step up to the plate and fund the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at $475 million in its fiscal year 2012 budget.
Nevertheless, Skelding and Eder agree that unless funding is restored to $475 million in future years, the cost to finish the Great Lakes cleanup and restoration will become greater.
"Our position is we need at least $475 million every year to make the kind of progress that can keep pace with the need," Skelding said.
The bottom line: Great Lakes restoration programs produce results. Fully funding the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at $475 million is an investment that's good for our Lakes, our public health, our economy and our way of life.

Every offseason the guys at Baseball Think Factory do ZIPS projections for every baseball team. I won't go through all the details on where they get these projections from; you can check that out at their website here.
I tried copy-pasting the projections from their website for our likely starting lineup as it stands right now, but it didn't work so well. Instead, just link to that page right here.
Here are my comments on a few players:
Wow, Hunter Pence!! Those are pretty sweet projections for both Luke Scott
and Hunter Pence; maybe Carlos Lee is unnecessary after all. Seriously, a 841 OPS (Scott)
and an 845 OPS (Pence) from the corner OF spots is pretty decent AND it wouldn't cost very
much. I seriously doubt the Astros will do that; I have a hard time seeing them
going into 2007 with a Scott / Taveras / Pence outfield. More likely we sign a FA
and platoon 2 of Scott / Pence / Lane. I'm pretty excited about Hunter Pence, though.
Morgan Ensberg is a better choice than Aubrey Huff (373 OBP vs. 348 OBP). His defense is better, he draws a lot of walks in front of Berkman, and he might not be as expensive.
I hope Craig Biggio can beat that projection (.255/.311/.419), and if not, I hope he gets to 3000 hits quickly so Chris Burke can step in.
Ugh...two guys at the bottom with a sub-700 OPS (Guess who? Everett and Ausmus again). Giving Quintero more playing time (.269/.311/.395) or signing / trading for a new catcher would be sweet, 'cause Ausmus is BAD.
Nice projection for Lamb. Not a bad projection for Brooks Conrad, either -
almost as high an OPS as Burke or Biggio. Palmeiro and Bruntlett, meh.
Starting Pitchers:
Man, we need to sign Pettitte. ZIPS actually likes Buchholz (4.43 ERA) and Sampson (4.32 ERA) a lot; more than Hirsh (4.47) or Nieve (4.78, nice strikeout rate). Clemens would be a nice boost, huh? Wandy is terrible. Buchholz and Sampson! Kinda surprising to me.
Bullpen: ZIPS likes Lidge a LOT! (3.51 ERA, 106 K in 75 IP) Look at that strikeout rate. In fact, look at the strikeout rate for all of those guys (Wheeler, Lidge, Qualls, Miller, Springer, Paul Estrada?). We'll almost certainly put one of our extra starters in here as well - probably Nieve, darn. Hey, I gotta run, but look over these stats, they're pretty darn cool.

Pyrometamorphic formation of phosphorus-rich olivines in partially molten metapelitic gneisses from a prehistoric sacrificial burning site (Otz Valley, Tyrol, Austria)
Tropper, Peter; Recheis, Arno; Konzett, Jürgen
European Journal of Mineralogy Volume 16 Number 4 (2004), p. 631 - 640
published: Jul 15, 2004
ArtNo. ESP147051604007, Price: 29.00 €
Phosphorus-rich olivine with up to 8.8 wt.% P2 O5 was observed in partially molten biotite-plagioclase gneisses recovered from a presumably La-T`ene (450 15 B. C.) age sacrificial place in the ötz Valley, Northen Tyrol, Austria, where immolation of ritual offerings took place. The formation of this unusually P-rich olivine is thought to be due to incongruent melting of biotite through a reaction such as biotite + quartz = olivine + Ti-magnetite + K-rich melt. D uring partial melting, foamy patches of dark glassy material formed at the surface of the rocks and also as layers within the rocks. Phosphorus was supplied as apatite from animal bones which also led to the formation of whitlockite in the foamy, glassy surface layer. In this layer, microdomains with the assemblages olivine + plagioclase + whitlockite + glass and clinopyroxene + plagioclase + whitlockite + glass were found. Away from the contact area in the residual rock, the assemblage o livine + Ti-bearing magnetite + clinopyroxene + plagioclase + glass occurs. Phosphorus-rich olivine associated with whitlockite shows a wide range in composition with 0 8.8 wt.% P2O5 and XMg ranging from 0.48 to 0.74. The heterogeneity in olivine compositions is thought to be due to disequilibrium and/or local variations in phosphorus concentration. The systematics of Mg, Fe, Si, and P concentrations in olivine indicates that phosphorus is incorporated into o livine via the coupled substitution 2P + ()M1,2 ⇔2Si + (Mg, Fe)M 1,2 and that phosphorus contamination through whitlockite or glass inclusions can be excluded. A slight negative correlation between the Fe contents and the P contents was also observed. The high chemical variability of the newly formed phases (melt and crystals), dendritic textures and the coexistence of forsterite-rich olivine with a SiO2 -rich melt (>62 wt.% SiO2) strongly indicate r apid, non-equilibrium growth of the phosphorus-rich olivines in agreement with previous natural observations from meteorites and terrestrial occurrences. These data show that mineralogical constraints such as phosphorus-rich olivine and whitlockite can provide evidence for the burning of bone material and thus be very helpful in the identification of prehistoric burning sites in cases where clear archeological evidence is lacking.

THE world heavyweight title rematch between Lennox Lewis and Hasim Rahman is booked for the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas, on Nov 17.
Rahman dethroned Lewis with a shock fifth-round knockout in April and was forced by a decision in a New York courtroom to honour a rematch clause in the contract for the first fight.
Rahman, his new promoter, Don King, and Lewis agreed a deal in principle last month and now appear to have accommodated the requirements of Lewis's long-term American promoters, Main Events.
"It's no longer a rumour," said Rahman's manager, Stan Hoffman. "It's all set."
Home Box Office have also made King a $5 million (£3.5 million) offer for the World Boxing Association heavyweight title fight between John Ruiz and Evander Holyfield in Beijing on Nov 25 (Nov 24 in the United States).
The WBA version was taken away from Lewis in court in April 2000 when he refused to honour a written commitment to defend the unified title against the WBA's No 1 contender, Holyfield, preferring to box Michael Grant.
Lewis had already proved his superiority over Holyfield in two fights in 1999, so Rahman is considered the genuine champion.
However, if HBO show Ruiz versus Holyfield on Nov 24, Naseem Hamed, may not box again until next year.
Hamed declined a Sept 8 date for his return following his April defeat by Marco Antonio Barrera, of Mexico, and HBO were then holding Nov 24 for him. If that goes to Holyfield-Ruiz, with presumably a side-by-side re-run of Rahman-Lewis, that would squeeze out Hamed.
Meanwhile, Mike Tyson will not face rape charges in California, leaving him free to box Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen on Sept 8. There was insufficient evidence to pursue the case following accusations by a waitress in Big Bear.
In Las Vegas, Michigan heavyweight Chris Byrd put himself in the world title picture by outpointing David Tua over 12 rounds.

HFD extinguishes fire at the Hawthorne Apartments at Yupon
Updated 1:33 pm, Sunday, August 2, 2015
The Houston Fire Department was able to quickly extinguish a fire at the Hawthorne Apartments at Yupon last night.
HFD Deputy Chief Blake White said HFD got the call around 9:20.
"Firefighters arrived, they found heavy fire on the exterior wall, rear of the apartment complex. It was making its way into the wall, so they made entry into several units to stop the fire."
Blake said approximately 9 apartment units had fire, smoke, and or water damage.
According to Blake, HFD and tenants removed some animals from the building. One dog died from the smoke, a number of cats and dogs were treated with oxygen, and a male and female resident were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene.
In to addition to HFD calling the Red Cross out, its arson division is investigating the cause of the fire.

I've just enjoyed reading this article titled What you know about Information Architecture, might not be true.
I especially love this quote, which rings true. We do tend to hold on to old adages without reexamining them with any frequency.
[SIZE=15px]The problem with common knowledge is that it gets corrupted overtime. Misinformation creeps in and certain myths grow up. We see this all the time, such as the idea content needs to be above the fold because [/SIZE][users don't scroll](http://uxmyths.com/post/654047943/myth-people-dont-scroll)[SIZE=15px].[/SIZE]
I'm going to say something here that I'd never comment on that post, because well, you know me here.
I found this article insanely shallow and really, really old knowledge. I hardly ever hear these myths even suggested any more - even clients are mostly beyond '3 clicks'. I was just 'duh'...
That's true, and Paul Boag is capable of much more insightful commentary, but I suspect he was writing for an audience who is new to IA/UX/IxD. I haven't heard many of my peers perpetuating those myths for the last few years either, but I still do come across the occasional client who suggests that 'users don't scroll' or that '3 clicks or less is what we should aim for'. I would hope UX beginners these days aren't reading the same websites or design books those clients are/were, but how are they to know?
I'll put my hand up as once propagating those ideas. Looking back at those rules now I can laugh at myself for taking them seriously, but I was sincere at the time. Perhaps it was a desire to try and see patterns in user behaviour, to establish some formal guidelines, and perhaps there was some relevance in the myths once upon a time when web design was sometimes little more than plonking a few thousand words of content into a design and before touch screens were a thing.
But I appreciate how far we've come from relying on conventions and 'common knowledge' and instead following a more robust design process that doesn't make those assumptions - one that instead relies on balancing user feedback with the business intent.
Not to say we've got it all right yet either. I'll have more of a think about that, and in the meantime will "be careful what theories and rules we believe. Instead we need to research the hearsay and prove it for ourself."
I do too - In my experience it's usually a senior exec or a high ranking stakeholder that just doesn't have that understanding.

Book cover design virtuoso Jim Tierney redesigned four classic Jules Verne novels, not for some reissue campaign for a big time publisher, but for his senior project.
Jim employs all sorts of whimsical, rarely-used cover design methods like die cut half jackets, spin wheels and translucent film.
The best part about these covers is you need only glance at them to get a potent taste of the adventure that lies within.
The worst part about them is that they are one of a kind. Hey Penguin! Get off your ass and mass produce these.

COLUMBIA — Perry Clark felt something he didn't count on as he mapped out his next college basketball season – boredom.
Clark, a successful head coach with four NCAA appearances at Tulane and Miami, had easily moved into an analyst's chair after leaving the Hurricanes in 2004. He returned to that role again after four struggling seasons at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi from 2007 through 2011.
Clark is back on the bench again, this time as assistant to South Carolina coach Frank Martin. It's his first assistant's role since 1988, when he finished a stretch helping Bobby Cremins assemble an Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse at Georgia Tech.
The 61-year-old Clark was content assembling TV and radio broadcast jobs, but confided to Martin that he missed the daily contact with college players and high school prospects eager to improve.
"It was like when I was in Catholic school and I had a holiday, but everybody else was in (public) school," he said. "So you wind up sitting at home not doing anything."
That changed when Florida coach Billy Donovan told Clark about a potential opening on the staff of Alabama coach Anthony Grant. Clark called Martin, Grant's close friend, for some background on Grant. A short time after, Martin convinced Clark to join the Gamecocks and take over for top assistant Brad Underwood, who took the Stephen F. Austin head coaching position this spring.
"With Frank, I was very much impressed with his staff chemistry and his vision for this place and what they needed to go to the next level," Clark said.
Clark didn't worry about the perception of stepping down to an assistant after 19 years as a head coach. "For me personally, I love coaching and I still felt I had things to offer," he said. "I'm a big believer in being a contributor."
Clark led Tulane to three NCAA Tournament appearances in 11 seasons in what Clark acknowledged was a situation that would've satisfied him even longer. But changes to the university president and athletic director led Clark to panic, he said, and jump at the Miami job when it came open after the 2000 season.
Two seasons in, Clark's Hurricanes went 24-8 and reached the NCAA Tournament. "But that was with juniors and seniors who we knew we'd be good," Clark said. "The next two years we had a lot of freshmen and sophomores and didn't have time."
Clark was fired after the 2004 season. He received several assistant offers after the dismissal, but wasn't sure he wanted to move down a rung.
It took him three years before getting the job at Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, which had just come off a Southland Conference title and an NCAA Tournament trip the season before. Clark did not have any consistency in the program or the department — "I had four ADs in four years," Clark says with a chuckle — and walked away from the job after four seasons with a 54-71 record.
Two years away, though, showed Clark he was ready for more. He's talked extensively with Cremins, who played at South Carolina and once famously accepted the job here before returning to the Yellow Jackets.
"Bobby thinks it's great that I'm here and is excited about what we can do," Clark said.
Could South Carolina success lead Clark back to the bench as a head coach? He's not sure.
"If I don't call another time out, it won't bother me at all," he said. "I'm just happy to be back and do what I can to help Frank."
Clark did have one request for Martin during negotiations.
"I told him I'd never made a Final Four," Clark said. "But I don't want to put too much pressure on the boss."

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!The Bill has passed the Senate and the House with only one nay vote. It went to the Governor and he signed it. So, now it is official; as of August 1, 2012 waterproofing contractors will not need a plumber's license to install a sump pump and discharge system, as long as they have a contractor's license. This will save the industry a lot of time and headaches not to mention the cost savings for homeowners.Standard Water would like to thank everybody who helped move this through the legislative process.This is a great day! – mike

New Bill Passes MN House & SenateA new bill regulating the installation of sump pumps and discharge systems passed in both the Minnesota Senate (63-0) and Minnesota House (130-1). We think the one no vote was a mistake. Be that as it may, this is great news for the entire basement waterproofing industry and a huge win for homeowners.As it stood, sump pumps and discharge pipes were regulated under the plumbing code that required a licensed plumber to install. This adds significant expense to a project that's pretty big already. And to make matters worse, the added expense offered zero improvements in fit or function of the water control system; for all the extra expense the homeowner would see no benefit.For these reasons the State Plumbing Board chose not to enforce the regulation which is their right. However, at any time the Board could change it's mind affecting thousands and thousands of homeowners negatively.The plumbing board supported the change, the unions supported it, the industry supported it and now Minnesota's Congress has supported it. The bill goes next to the Governor's desk for signing and we expect he will.Here's what it means for you, the homeowner. You will continue to get great service at a fair price and will not be charged a significant premium for something that would do you no good whatsoever.Standard Water Control led the charge on this bill, recruited other basement waterproofing companies and the national Basement Health Association to help. We are grateful for everything everyone has done.

EPA Map of Radon ZonesThe purpose of this map is to assist National, State, and local organizations to target their resources and to implement radon-resistant building codes. This map is not intended to be used to determine if a home in a given zone should be tested for radon. Homes with elevated levels of radon have been found in all three zones. All homes should be tested regardless of geographic location. Important points to note:
– All homes should test for radon, regardless of geographic location or zone designation. How do I test my home?
– There are many thousands of individual homes with elevated radon levels in Zone 2 and 3. Elevated levels can be found in Zone 2 and Zone 3 counties.
– EPA also recommends that this map be supplemented with any available local data in order to further understand and predict the radon potential of a specific area. For more information, contact your state radon coordinator. Click Here for a US map (where you can select your state) to see if your state has more detailed information available.
– The map should not be used in lieu of testing during real estate transactions.The Map was developed using five factors to determine radon potential: 1) indoor radon measurements; 2) geology; 3) aerial radioactivity; 4) soil permeability; and 5) foundation type. Radon potential assessment is based on geologic provinces. Radon Index Matrix is the quantitative assessment of radon potential. Confidence Index Matrix shows the quantity and quality of the data used to assess radon potential. Geologic Provinces were adapted to county boundaries for the Map of Radon Zones.
About the Map
Sections 307 and 309 of the Indoor Radon Abatement Act of 1988 (IRAA) directed EPA to list and identify areas of the U.S. with the potential for elevated indoor radon levels. EPA's Map of Radon Zones assigns each of the 3,141 counties in the U.S. to one of three zones based on radon potential.What do the colors mean?
Zone 1 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level greater than 4 pCi/L (picocuries per liter) (red zones) Highest Potential Zone 2 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level between 2 and 4 pCi/L(orange zones) Moderate Potential Zone 3 counties have a predicted average indoor radon screening level less than 2 pCi/L (yellow zones) Low Potential

Dealing With A Wet Basement Might Require An Expert"A wet basement is something thousands of homeowners contend with but none look forward to fixing. A wet basement can decrease a home's value. Standing water in a basement can also pose health hazards, such as mold and mildew growth, and can prove a breeding ground for insects that like moist conditions.There are a number of techniques used to combat basement water issues, but waterproofing a basement is generally not a do-it-yourself job. A waterproofing company can help homeowners ascertain what method will be best for the type of water issue they have." More>>>

MP Franklin Meyers: "Sadly, often people's lives are reduced to statistics"POSTED: 08/30/16 9:11 AM
St.maarten– "Sadly, often people's lives are reduced to mere statistics, and the human aspects of these statistics are not taken into account. Often there are lots of pain, frustration, anger and pure desperation hiding behind these statistics, United People's party faction leader Franklin Meyers stated in a press release. "When we are talking about 'the numbers are down' in reference to cruise ship arrivals, passenger and crew spending, stay-over tourists and time share sales, we tend to forget the human tragedy that is unfolding behind these numbers."
This means an increase in costs followed by a huge reduction in your income, while expenditures like mortgages, rent, Gebe, food, clothing and school fees still have to be paid, Meyers noted, adding that the same goes for (small) business owners that often don't have a large profit margins, and are feeling the direct hit of the decreasing numbers.
"Large businesses often contribute more to the government's income. Not only via the taxes, but also via taxes paid by the employees that work for these businesses," MP Meyers stated. "Less income for government will result in a less able government to execute projects and programs that are beneficial to the population of St. Maarten, and might lead into a faster downward spiraling economy."
"The jobs that are lost due to companies needing to reduce their payroll expenses to stay in business, are also reflected in numbers. But as stated before, the human suffering behind these numbers is not shown. The cold fact is that this government has not only shown to be not capable to maintain our economy, but it has even shown to be damaging to our economy. The numbers don't lie. It is my top priority to change the numbers around, and ensure that the people of St. Maarten can provide for themselves. It's time that we once again show the world why we are the number one destination in the Caribbean", MP Meyers stated.

I was working in Las Cruces for a few days as part of a project with New Mexico State University. I was looking to find good pizza for dinner one night. I had heard from my colleagues that this place was among the best options in this city, so decided to try it. The service was swift and pleasant, the pizza delicious (I ordered the rather unusual red onion, lemon, and asparagus pizza). The complimentary bread (which they make and bake fresh) was yummy along with the provided garlic/olive oil mixture.

The upcoming World War II drama "Red Tails" tells many stories. First and foremost, it's the story of the heroic Tuskegee Airmen, the country's first African American air regimen. Within that story are tales of social injustice and a historical wartime drama. It's also a big-budget action movie produced by George Lucas.
With so much to accomplish, "Red Tails" has a lot on its plate dramatically speaking. One of the stars of the film, Cuba Gooding Jr., told MTV News recently that the film manages to find the right balance.
"I think it strikes it in the subject matter," Gooding said. "It didn't hurt that George Lucas spent the last quarter of a decade trying to get this story onto the big screen.
"The fact that you have the story of these warriors, whose story has been suppressed up until this date — except for smaller instances — are finally getting their due, educating the audience of what African Americans did in the war effort in World War II ... told by George Lucas, 'Star Wars,' " Gooding said. "You're going to see an amusement park ride."
Gooding concluded that all of those elements came together for a proper telling of the story. "I think that's how you get the balance," he added. "You get a filmmaker who is so passionate he's putting his own dough up to the tune of $100 million-plus. You see it on the screen."
Gooding's co-star, Nate Parker, tried to chime in with a comment of his own, but the Academy Award-winning actor stopped Parker jokingly. "No, no, no, no. That was enough," Gooding said. "I'm just kidding. Speak your mind, brother."
For Parker, the answer to the film's success is simple. "Risk and reward," he said. "He took a risk, and now I think he's being rewarded in a major way because I think the film is fantastic."
Check out everything we've got on "Red Tails."

Tips for choosing the best annual soccer academy
The experience boys or girls undergo at a soccer summer camp is the best of their lives. They learn other cultures, practice their favorite sport and can even learn a new language in order to have more opportunities in the future. For those looking for an intense training and to improve their soccer level with different training methodologies, can find that a few weeks of summer are not enough. An annual soccer academy exists for them where they can spend one year training and receiving an education so they can improve their quality and level of play.
We guarantee that long camps are the perfect option for these types of clients who wish to get the most out of this experience based on the success the two-week soccer camps offer. For those who are interested in a soccer academy, they can find below what Ertheo offers as well as some suggestions on how to choose the right camp for their needs. In our web they can find programs in Spain, England and the United States with several destinations and different characteristics.
Sevilla Soccer Academy (Spain)
Sevilla´s soccer academy is for young players above the age of 15 who need a closer training professional soccer relationship. From the first day, they are introduced to the semi professional federated team discipline, the AD Nervion, the third best soccer city team in Sevilla FC and the Real Betis Soccer team. Once they are part of the team they have the option to compete in the Spanish schedule. All the training sessions are performed by endorsed technicians of the UEFA and with experience in the Spanish League.
The players can also use the best health center and gymnasium, O2 Wellness located near the academy. The Sevilla academy organizes different programs:
- Youth Program (annual, quarterly or semi-annually): For boys and girls from 15 to 19 years of age and includes training, education, lodging in student housing, activities and field trips.
- Pro Program (annual, semi-annually): This other option is for those over the age of 18. This program is different than the Youth program since it offers training and competition in a semi-professional club, lodging in student housing, 10 hours of Spanish class a week, activities and field trips. In order to access this Pro program, participants need to be competing in a club in their city of residence.
The other soccer academy located in Spain is in Barcelona, offering programs for boys and girls from 8 to 22 years of age. The training sessions at this academy are high in intensity in order to achieve the student´s potential. The facilities used for the programs belong to the UD Cornella, one of the most important teams in Cataluña and has an extensive technical staff. The High Intensity Barcelona Academy offers players a diverse training in order to achieve a better individual technique to soccer players so they establish their own intelligent strategies.
And all of this takes place in Barcelona, one of the most important soccer cities in the world. The soccer academy in Barcelona offers three programs to the players:
- Full time player: Includes training, full board and lodging and academic studies. This option is the best in order to immerse completely in the academy.
- External player: This program offers training, half board and academic studies.
- Just soccer: Only soccer training is offered here.
IMG Academy Florida (Estados Unidos)
The IMG academy has trained athletes for 40 years and the academy has become one of the best in the world, known for its facilities and training. Among all the annual programs, they have time for soccer, a sport that is becoming quite popular in the United States. IMG has their own campus for students enrolled in their program and is located in Bradenton, Florida, with 20 soccer fields, 50 tennis courts and a stadium for 5,000 people. Here is a video of the IMG Florida academy facilities:
The academy is specialized in combining high intensity training with an excellent academic program to educate first level students-athletes. Soccer training at IMG is quite intense and focuses on technique and physical, mental and strategy training. The philosophy of this academy is self-discipline, commitment, passion and dedication. IMG offers two different programs, although you can choose different types of training for both. These are the options:
- 6 month program: Soccer training, education and optional language classes.
- Full academic year program: The same as the above program but this one lasts one year.
Our last soccer academy is Manchester, one of the most traditional soccer cities around. This academy offers an 8 hours a week training program combining soccer exercises, a high intensity physical program, and games on the weekend to practice all that is learned during the training sessions.
The optimal level to participate in the Manchester academy must be intermediate or advanced, which basically means that you must practice soccer often. The famous Berlitz academy is in charge of the English classes, a very important part of all the programs. The Berlitz professors offer 15 hours of English classes a week and provide students with a complete language immersion that can be added to staying with English families or at the housing with many international students. With regards to soccer, the academy has one dozen fields of different sizes and huge facilities.
Each academy offers a different level of experience and education and all of them work hard to make sure your child receives a complete physical and educational development during the year. The academy not only has great training facilities, it also offers recreational activities and other learning opportunities in addition to the sport, so clients enjoy some of the best training and educational facilities in the world.
Choosing the right academy is difficult since distance, facilities or training are key factors. In order to help you, here are some suggestions to choose the right one for you.
What type of soccer academy are you looking for?
We offer a huge variety to choose from. Deciding which one best adapts to your child´s interests depends on a series of important factors that can make the experience fun and varied. As we have previously explained, we offer four different academies, each one of them focused on different levels of play and located in different parts of the world. All of them have excellent sports facilities, and in some cases, they also offer private schools for their students. To choose between one or the other can be difficult and that is why we offer some important factors to consider.
The location of the academy is one of the most important factors. Our academies are located in destinations with a long history of soccer such as Spain, United Kingdom and the United States. Each location offers an attractive appeal thanks to the language and culture. So, any option is a good one if what you are looking for is a new and fun experience. They only thing to consider here is whether you prefer Spanish or English.
The smaller academies offer housing and living with a local family, with the advantage here to completely immerse in the culture and the language and to learn about all types of customs and way of thinking. All the families that participate in this type of housing are put through a thorough evaluation and undergo a series of tests by the academy. The largest academies, such as IMG Florida, offer as a main option, the courses with housing included in their facilities. This type of housing provides students with the opportunity to live in the camp with their colleagues 24 hours a day.
Soccer and fitness training
The levels of training intensity and frequency are different in each facility. The smaller academies tend to focus more on team formation and working as a group, while the larger ones offer intensive training programs to help train youngsters who want to become elite. Other academies offer the possibility to create specific groups for youngsters who are beginners in the sport or even adapt the level of the teams requisite for the participants.
Soccer and fitness training
In addition to the soccer and physical training, at Ertheo we believe the academic formation is as important as the language development. One of the greatest benefits of having academies in different parts of the world is the possibility of learning new languages in order to improve your child´s English. The academies have diverse programs and offer a great learning and academic progression environment in general, and offer different types of enrollments in local public schools or in private schools located inside the soccer academies.
For example, the Sevilla academy offers enrollment in a public school, perfect for those who look for complete culture integration, white the IMG Florida academy has a private school with outstanding professors and coaches. That is why our team considers equally important the time spent inside and out of the field providing a complete experience all year long.
The full year courses for these academies vary in price from 15.000€ to 70.000€ a year. There are many factors that apply to the evaluation of each academy, such as the location, the academy´s reputation, the coaching experience and the type of housing you choose. Without a doubt, the prices for our courses are quite competitive.
With all this information, we are sure you will sign up for one of our academies. For any doubts or questions please feel free to contact us by email or by calling us at (+34) 952 222 998.

In my house, bookmarks are always at a premium. Perhaps that's because Raileigh is in the middle of at least thirty books at any given time. The crazy thing is that she can keep every last plot straight!
Lately, she's been using old receipts and other things to keep her place in books. While those things work, seeing a receipt for our latest trip to the grocery store poking out of a book isn't exactly appealing.
So, I decided to whip her up a new set of bookmarks!
These bookmarks are especially made for Halloween, one of our favorite holidays! Of course, I thought it would be the perfect Halloween treat to share them with you as well!
Download the Printable Halloween Bookmarks
Here's how to make use of them:
- Download the bookmarks
- Print designs onto cardstock
- Cut out around the edges of the bookmark
- OPTIONAL: Hole punch the small hole at the top and string a ribbon through
That's it! Your bookmarks are complete and ready to hold your spot in your current reading material!

Here we go! The NFL Playoffs! As the Niners lick their wounds, in complete comfort, it can't be a better way to start —The Run towards the Super Bowl. Because, stage one is here, today —Are you ready?!
In some ways, as I anxiously await the New Orleans Saints, Detroit Lions game, I really hope the Saints win, only because of my over-sympathetic nature. It's because of Coach Harbaugh, and his sometimes over-zealous Attaboys. It's now been documented: Jim Harbaugh is an Attaboy-Type-Coach (Refer to earlier post: "Alex Smith, Pro Bowler").
Remember? It was a classic NFL Sunday. Then, the Lions were undefeated, and the Niners were searching for respectability. But it happened, right there at Candlestick Park, respect plus credibility instantly, leaving the Niners 5-1.
It was Alex Smith taking the snap on fourth down. He dropped back and found Delanie Walker for a Touchdown. After, the Lions were left holding the empty sack with only 1:56 remaining. And when the final ticks were finally surrendered, Coach Harbaugh put a little twist on the post-game Head Coach Handshake. His Attaboy came viciously, from nowhere,
…Jim Schwartz, the Lions Head Coach, almost became another deadly NFL statistic? Could Coach Schwartz have one of those deadly NFL serious head-Injuries? I don't know. I do believe Coach Harbaugh was apologetic, but Coach Schwartz, was left mumbling something about proper NFL ethics.
Nonetheless, none of this matters. The New Orleans Saints are going to win. The Lions Roar will be decimated to a domesticated little house cat. The pride will be broken.
These two teams mirror each other in so many ways. They're 'trend-followers' to the letter. They've unflinchingly jumped aboard the recent theme of the NFL —'The Year of the Quarterback'. And the outcome of this game will mirror, exactly, the accomplishments of the team's quarterbacks.
Drew Brees has had a huge year! He broke Dan Marino's record that sat, comfortably, for decades, passing for 5,476 yards. Matthew Stafford, the Lions quarterback, passed for 5,038 yards, falling several football fields short of Drew Brees.
So …this continuing theme of Matthew Stafford—'falling several football fields short' will follow him, plus his pride, into what will be (hopefully, at least an entertaining game) —The Shoot-Out at the Superdome.
The End

{ Friday Favorites - #3 }Friday, January 20, 2012
If you have something special you would like to show, if you have a trinket which has a special meaning for you or maybe something you have just found and own or would like to have. It could be anything, a trinket, a book, a new cookware set, a necklace, a photograph, a project you're working on or finished....anything that you love and would like to show us all.
Take a photo, or two, or three...post it on your blog and come back and link up using Mr Linky.
Please only include links directly to your post and only those pertaining to Friday Favorites. Anything not related WILL be removed.
I love candles. All shapes and sizes, colors, scents etc. I use them almost daily whether to release a wonderful scent through the house or just to give it a beautiful glow, but you'll always find a bunch sitting around.
Something else I love is the Renaissance Fair that we go to every year, so last year while walking around and looking at all the little stalls/shops, we came across a candlemaker. I usually get candles from the Fair but they are from another little store, this one....oh my.
These were all hand crafted candles and at first I thought, there is NO way that is a candle, just no way.
Let me show you the stunning candle I picked up, I have burned it ONCE that's it, but I think I'll pick up another when we go back next month :)
I honestly thought it was a plastic container FOR the candle, I didn't know that it was the candle itself.
The intricate design was definitely one of the most eye catching I've seen, and to think that it was all done by hand
As you can see, I've burned it but once, I just didn't want to see it all burn down, but that was also when I thought we would be out of this base this year and not able to return and get another candle.....hopefully the candle maker is still there so I can get at least one more :)
Beautiful handcrafted candle. I just can't wrap my mind around the amount of work it took to get it made, it looks so perfect doesn't it?
So anyway, that is one of my favorite things to share with you this Friday. Can't wait to see what you all have to share too :)

I also LOVE candles! When I get one like this that I don't want to burn down all the way, I burn it down just enough to put a tea light in. You still get the glow from the candle but the candle itself stays beautiful! I love your blog and so glad you are back to blogging everyday!ReplyDelete
Such a beautiful candle!ReplyDelete
Hi Sandra, and thank you for hosting. We have a Bavarian-themed village in the north GA mountains that has a candle shop that makes these. It is amazing to watch how the candle is dipped many times and then cut and molded while the wax is warm. Your choice is really lovely. Have a great weekend.ReplyDelete
I love these types of candles! My great-grandmother had a large green one sitting on top of her tv in her later years. I was always amazed by the detail, and the patters the wax made. I was very excited to find a white/silver candle of similar makings to use as the unity candle in my wedding. You should definitely buy another if you have the chance. :)ReplyDelete

Hi Sandra, I was all excited I had an idea for your candle and the anoymous writer beat me to it, I was going to say burn it down a bit then put a tealight in it and just replace the tealight.. then it saves the candle.. great idea right lol... have a great weekend with the familia.. SueReplyDelete
OMG!!! What a gorgeous candle!! We want to go to a Renaissance Fair sometime soon. I should look to see if there is one in our area!ReplyDelete

It is almost the end of my visit to the Philippines today.
Tomorrow, Friday, I will go to my family in-law, north Luzon. It will be a trip of 5 to 6 hours by bus, so I decided to leave here from the hotel at 11 am. On Sunday I will fly back to Thailand, so again 5-6 hours, but I will ask my brother in law to bring me to the airport with our car, a van that we bought early this year.
Just because it is the last day with the IT team on the plant, I have invited them for a lunch meal in a Filipino restaurant in Sta. Rosa. It is called the Kanin Club. My Tagalog language knowledge is very limited, but I believe Kanin is a brand of rice, perhaps it has more meanings, if so let me know by posting a comment.
Let me introduce the team, from left to right around the table:
Jhay, Lolo, Dennis, Tetet, Ida, Nonie, James.
The restaurant is usually very busy during lunch time. You have to book or be in before 12 am. Business people are coming for lunch from many places, as the business population in the direct environment is not too large as it seems.

New Delhi, July 21 – The All India Newspaper Editor's Conference (AINEC) has condemned the undeclared censorship on press in the Kashmir Valley.
The apex body of editors in a resolution passed on Wednesday, criticised the ruling PDP-BJP alliance in the valley, and added that the ban on publications and raids on the newspaper offices and printing presses is a direct attack on the freedom of the press.
This new method, of undeclared censorship adopted by the PDP-BJP government has set a new precedent of censorship, and it is totally unacceptable, AINEC said here. It urged the Jammu and Kashmir government to refrain from restrictive and undemocratic methods to gag the press in the Kashmir Valley.
The newspapers, whether they are in Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat or Tamil Nadu, or any other state, must be allowed to carry out their duty to the readers, freely and fairly. No government in the Centre or states can preserve democratic traditions of our great country without supporting the freedom of the press, in spirit and reality, said Vishwa Bandhu Gupta, president, AIENC.

Formation Capital Endorses Lemhi County Commissioners Establishment of Industrial Development CorporationVancouver, B.C., February 27, 2009 - Formation Capital Corporation ("Formation", FCO-TSX) has been advised by its 100% owned subsidiary, Formation Capital Corporation, U.S. (the Company) that the local County Commissioners have established a public corporation known as "The Industrial Development Corporation of Lemhi County, Idaho" (the Corporation) for the purpose of supporting the development of local industrial facilities, such as the Idaho Cobalt Project (ICP), which is located in Lemhi County.
In a legal notice placed in the local newspaper yesterday, the Lemhi County Corporation announced that it was created for the purpose of "promoting higher employment, encouraging the development of new jobs, maintaining and supplementing the capital investments in industry that currently exist within the state of Idaho, encouraging future employment by ensuring future capital investment, attracting environmentally sound industry within the corporate boundaries of the Municipality and to the State of Idaho, protecting and enhancing the quality of natural resources and the environment, and promoting the production and conservation of energy."
The Corporation, whose Board of Directors is composed of three Lemhi County residents, will have the power to issue tax exempt non-recourse revenue bonds that may serve as a potential future source of financing to assist in the development of local industrial facilities.
We are very pleased to see the County Commissioners initiate the creation of a corporation that is dedicated to the development of local businesses like the ICP", commented Guy Jeske, General Manager for the ICP. "In these turbulent economic times, it's initiatives like this that can help create decent paying jobs and sustainable tax revenues for the County."
Formation Capital Corporation is dedicated to the principles of environmentally sound mining and refining practices, and believes that environmental stewardship and mining can co-exist. Once in production, Formation's Idaho Cobalt Project will provide the United States with high purity super alloy grade cobalt metal required for critical applications such as the construction of jet airplane engines, land based turbines, catalysts for coal and gas to liquid technology, and batteries used in hybrid and electric cars. The Company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol FCO.

Parliament evacuated after fire alert just FIVE DAYS before gunpowder plot anniversary
MEMBERS of Parliament have been forced to evacuate the House of Commons as emergency services investigate a fire alert.
Reports on social media revealed the authorities were evacuating the building to investigate.
The alert came just five days before the November 5, which marks the anniversary of the Guy Fawkes gunpowder plot of 1605.
A long line of the building's staff waited outside the House of Commons.
BBC News journalist Vicki Young tweeted reporting that staff were ordered to leave the estate.

Hundreds of staff were forced to leave the parliamentary estate shortly before 10.30am.
Parliament was evacuated last month after fears that the historic building was on fire.
Young later tweeted that Police said that it was a fire drill.

She wrote: "Excitement over. Staff allowed back into Commons - policeman says it was a drill to check how quickly they could get everyone out."
It is believed that Portcullis House, which is adjacent to the Parliament buildings, remained open during the incident.

With Valentine's day around the corner, you are either frantically trying to get an 8 o'clock dinner reservation at Dorsia or finding an excuse to talk your partner out of making you watch Fifty Shades of Grey. However, if you are single, you do not have to worry about buying her Daisies then remembering she is allergic to pollen or getting yelled at for not using a Low-Fi filter for your relationship post on Instagram.
If this Saturday causes you to enter a state of depression, you can rest easy in the fact that I have made a list of 15 rock songs that will help the single and broken-hearted survive Valentine's day.
- Modest Mouse-Float OnIsaac Brock, lead singer and guitarist of Modest Mouse, stated that the purpose of this song was to make a positive record. This makes Float On by Modest Mouse the perfect pick me up song to start your day off.
- Fleetwood Mac- Go Your Own Way
- The Offspring- Self Esteem Hometown heroes from where I grew up, this was the go to break up song while in high school making it a must to add to this list.
- Imagine Dragons- Demons
- Haddaway- What is Love I understand this isnt a rock song, but have you seen anyone upset while listening to this song? Rhetorical question; the answer is no.
- The All-American Rejects- Give You Hell If you are listening to this song, they must have done a number on you.
- Sublime- Santeria
- Rusted Root- Send Me On My Way One of the best songs to play when you are down. If this doesn't get you in a better mood, nothing will.
- Florence + The Machine- Dog Days Are Over
- Fountains Of Wayne- Stacy's Mom Pretty self-explanatory as to why this song is on this list.
- Sum 41- In Too Deep
- Lily Allen- Smile See fig.6
- Hannah Gill- I Feel Awake
- Imagine Dragons- It's Time Valentines day is on a Saturday this year, it's time to take advantage of your weekend. You are single, no one can stop you.
- Queen- Don't Stop Me Now
Remember, it's only 24 hours of you having to pretend you care about your friends relationship status on Facebook.

Giusseppe. E.G.A. Emporio Armani ripoff Rockville Maryland
He proceeded to show me jackets and two suits. They looked authentic to my untrained eye. As I offered to get someone else to see if they would buy from him because I did not have any money he said not to. He asked how much money I had on me. I told him I only had $20 and that I was not planning on spending any money on clothing. He said if I bought one suit valued at $800 he would give me two jackets for free. I told him again I did not have any money. He asked if I spoke from my heart. I said yes. Then he proceed to put six jackets in two separate bags in my hands and he said he would give them to me since I spoke from my heart. He asked again how much money I could come up with, I said $300. I figured Giusseppe was really a nice guy and that if he could give those jackets then I could come up with the money. I got into my car and he followed me to the bank. We both parked in front of the ATM, so a picture may have been recorded of him and the Jeep Cherokee, which he said was a rental.
Before he left I gave him my card with my number and e-mail address on it. He asked for the other $20 I said I had in my pocket and I figured if I had given him $300 so easily, what the heck, what was $20 more! He said he would be back in September and that he would call me then.

Nashville is creating a TV drama VR experience that will elevate the way people watch shows from here on out. Although it marks one of the first times -- if not the first time -- that people will be able to truly immerse themselves in their favorite show, its one that will surely catch on sooner rather than later.
Of course, this TV drama VR experience will start on a smaller scale for now. In Nashville, viewers will be able to feel as though they are sitting right in the midst of a live performance. It will specifically take place in the Bluebird Cafe and feature Layla (Aubrey Peeples) and Avery (Jonathan Jackson). It will also involve "a very telling moment" according to ABC.
