NEW YORK (AP) — Move over, you adorable scamps in "Annie." Settle down, weird girls in "Matilda." Broadway has a new unlikely heroine, a frail widow who hums hymns and has a bad heart.
A first-rate revival of Horton Foote's "The Trip to Bountiful" opened Tuesday at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre determined to demonstrate that insight isn't the sole domain of the young.
A sublime Cicely Tyson returns to Broadway for the first time in 30 years to play Carrie Watts, the widow who shares a cramped two-room apartment in Houston in 1953 with her devoted son and overbearing daughter-in-law. Watts is always looking back, while her son and his wife look forward.
Watts' only desire is to revisit her old home in Bountiful and recapture the vitality and purpose she seemed to lose when she left for the big city decades ago.
"I've turned into a hateful, quarrelsome old woman. And before I leave this earth, I'd like to recover some of the dignity," she says. "The peace I used to know. For I'm going to die."
The casting here is splendid. Not only is Tyson feisty and funny and glowing with inner light, but her co-stars prove more than compelling: Vanessa Williams is politely savage as her preening daughter-in-law, icy without becoming a dragon. Cuba Gooding Jr., making his Broadway debut as her son, nails the kind man unfortunately caught in the middle of these two women. And the rising talent Condola Rashad, as a soldier's wife, turns a small role into a star turn.
Michael Wilson, a noted director of Foote and Tennessee Williams, lets the words and action flow with a genuine gentleness and respect that allows each eye roll, shuffle and sigh to have its maximum impact. The care and love all the creators have for this play pours out from the stage.
The widow Watts is not someone we must feel pity for — quite the opposite, we cheer her on. When her family is out, she strips off her pajamas to reveal a dress underneath and makes a mad escape to the bus station, and we're with her, clapping. Ditto when she persuades the sheriff (a sweet Tom Wopat) to not only release her from custody but also drive her to Bountiful.
Yes, spoiler alert, she makes it to Bountiful. Mainly because no one can deny her. In Tyson's hands, this old woman is tough, firm and hopeful. She's the kind of woman who dances with strangers at bus stations, remembers details from years ago and seems to lose decades from her face when finally in Bountiful.
That's also in large part to Jeff Cowie, whose sets absolutely sing. His cramped Houston apartment gets the point across by having no wall between the young couple and the widow, and his cross-section of a bus in front of a starry sky is visually clever.
But his biggest challenge is the ramshackle home in Bountiful — it has to be something worth the trip. Cowie does exactly that with a comforting, if rotting, Victorian complete with flowers and overgrown grass. Rui Rita's lighting gives it a heavenly glow.
Foote's plays are often deceptively simple, cherishing the common, small-town man, and "The Trip to Bountiful" is no exception. It's about the buried desire to go back home, about finding grace and about keeping a connection to your roots, universal themes proved by the fact that a predominantly black cast has slipped into a play originally played by whites.
With so many noisy kids on Broadway these days dreaming of running away from their horrible lives, it's funny to be talking about a woman nearing the end of her life doing the same. In this case, though, Watts wants to return to the past, and your heart may sing like she does when she finally reaches her goal: "I'm home, I'm home. I'm home."

More than a year-and-a-half after the tsunami and resulting nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japanese policymakers are trying to figure out what to do about Japan's power-generation future. In September, the government released a document titled "Revolutionary Energy and Environment Strategy," which proposes to eliminate all nuclear generation in Japan by 2040. While the general public continues to support a transition away from nuclear power in Japan, business leaders have argued that such a change would increase energy costs, thereby making Japanese companies less competitive in an already increasingly competitive East Asian market.
Japan's annual LNG imports increased by 12.5 percent in 2011, largely a result of the Fukushima disaster in March 2011.
Close to one-third of Japan's power generation came from nuclear prior to Fukushima, and before the tsunami, there had even been discussion of increasing the share of nuclear to 50 percent with hope that this would help the country reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Now that much of the population wants to phase-out nuclear by 2040, Japan faces an interesting question of what to do with its power sector in the future.
One solution, and what Japan has largely done in the short-term, is to rely more heavily on fossil fuels. After Fukushima, Japan began importing more natural gas and oil to make up for its loss of nuclear generation, and the share of fossil fuel generation in its electricity mix rose to 73 percent (a level not seen in decades) by early 2012. The problems with this increase, however, are numerous.
First, Japan already had high electricity tariffs before Fukushima, and now that it is importing greater quantities of expensive oil and natural gas, energy prices are rising. While Japan may have had little choice but to rely on oil and natural gas in the short-term due to its lack of domestic fossil fuel resources, a long-term energy plan based on these fuels would lock Japan into an expensive energy future.
Second, Japan's nuclear generation produced relatively few associated greenhouse gas emissions. A transition from nuclear to oil and natural gas has and will continue to make it more difficult for the country to meet its greenhouse gas reduction targets. This is not only bad for the climate, but could also potentially put Japan in an economically disadvantageous position in the future. If a legally binding international carbon market is implemented over the next couple of decades, Japan and its economy will struggle to adapt since it will have recently constructed an expensive fossil fuel-based system.
Third, there is the problem of energy security and a lack of energy independence. While Japan has always imported a majority of its fuel for power generation, much of that fuel was uranium, which has relatively little impact on generation costs since most of the costs associated with nuclear generation stem from initial construction of the power plant itself. Now that Japan is relying more heavily on imported oil and natural gas for power generation, its power market is becoming increasingly vulnerable to high prices and price volatility. One example of this is the price that Japan currently pays for natural gas. During the summer, Japan paid more than US $18 per million BTU for liquefied natural gas, more than five times what generators in the U.S. pay. This not only requires Japan to expend a lot of money outside its borders – which it could otherwise invest domestically – but it also puts a major economic strain on Japanese citizens and businesses. Clearly, these problems signal that Japan is ready for an energy transition.
Japan's electricity system faces significant challenges, and for many, these challenges represent an opportunity for renewable energies. In fact, just this past July, Japan initiated a feed-in-tariff for renewable generation. Considering that Japan already pays very high electricity tariff rates, wants to continue to be a leader in combating climate change, and is home to significant renewable energy potential, an energy policy that relies heavily on renewable development is a plausible solution to a complicated problem. Japan's focus now should be on addressing the barriers to renewable energy development, and the Fukushima tragedy could be the necessary catalyst to make Japan a leader in renewable energy.

(Reuters) - Logitech, the No. 1 maker of computer mice, swung to a third-quarter loss from a year earlier and said it would divest non-strategic products, as it continues to be hit hard by weakness in the global PC market.
Struggling to adapt to a market increasingly dominated by touch-screen tablets and smartphones which do not need mice, it posted a net loss of $195 million, or $1.24 per share in the third quarter.
That compares with a net profit of $55 million, or $0.32 per share in the same period a year earlier. Quarterly sales fell 14 percent to $615 million.
"Continued weakness in the global PC market was the primary factor in our disappointing Q3 results," Chief Executive Bracken Darrell said in a statement.
Darrell said the company has started divesting its remote controls and digital video security businesses and plans to discontinue other non-strategic products, such as speaker docks and console gaming peripherals, by the end of 2013.
It took a $211 million charge on its underperforming video conferencing unit. Excluding the impairment charge, third-quarter non-GAAP operating income would have been $31 million and non-GAAP net income would have been $16 million, Logitech said.

Green Flora of Australia
Australia is host to a vast variety of plant life. It is estimated that over 34,000 species of plants and 253,000 species of fungi and lichens make Australia their home. It is theorized that much of the flora evolved from ancient species originating on the supercontinent of Gondwana before continental drift formed the Australia continent of today. Australian flora is noted for its adaptability to arid climates and fire through scleromorphy, plants with hardy leaves, and serotiny, plants that release seeds in response to harsh environmental triggers. These traits are apparent in some of Australia's most notable species in the plant kingdom, such as the Banksia, Eucalyptus, and Acacia. The green flora of Australia has been affected through history by indigenous Australians 60,000 years ago and by Europeans from just over 200 years ago. Agricultural and urban development over the past two centuries has played the largest role in the alteration of the native ecosystem and the role played in it by the green flora of Australia.
Ancient Green Flora of Australia
It is theorized that Australia was part of the ancient supercontinent of Gondwana that included Antarctica, India, Africa, and South America. Most of the flora of modern Australia derived from this time dating back 140 million years. As Australia broke off from the supercontinent and was set adrift in isolation, local climate change had a major impact on the evolution of green flora. The isolation and northward movement of the continent led to the development of a diverse ecology. From the Eocene period, much of today's staple green flora of Australia developed. Not only the aforementioned species, but legumes, open forests, and grasslands came into being.
The arid climate and poor soil led to very unique adaptations in the green flora of Australia. Hard leaves, resistant to the elements developed, reducing moisture loss. The frequency of fires due to the arid climate led to the development of fire-adapted species in the Pleistocene era. Even as soon as 38,000 years ago, indigenous Australians were found to have changed the flora of the continent through fire-stick farming.
Types of Green Flora
The green flora of Australia has been classified according to vegetation groups based on the characteristics of the flora. The most defining characteristics are based on the climate: rainfall and temperature. The third-largest factor is the availability of water, which is more of an environmental factor.
Although several schemes have been created in the classification of Australian flora, the most recent is that of the Natural Heritage Trust. This scheme classifies Australia's entire flora into 30 vegetation groups and 67 subgroups. According to the scheme, the most common flora is the hummock grasslands of the most arid regions. They can be found in the Northern Territory, South Australia, and Western Australia. These grasses are estimated to be 23 percent of the total green flora of Australia. The most common genus is Triodia followed by Zygochloa.
According to the Natural Heritage Trust scheme, the following types of vegetation comprise the next 39 percent of green flora:
- Eucalyptus forest – These occur mainly in areas between the grasslands and the tropical rainforests. Tree growth is limited here, but Eucalyptus thrives among the grasses and shrubs on the ground. The largest area of Eucalyptus is in Queensland.
- Acacia forest – These forests are predominant in semi-arid regions. The largest of such regions is in Western Australia. Specific species include brigalow, gidgee, lancewood, mulga, and bendee.
- Shrub lands – These areas are in both semi-arid and arid regions. They include Acacia trees, most often mulga, and are most notable in Western Australia.
- Tussock grasslands – These lands are in semi-arid and temperate zones. The largest tussock grasslands are in Queensland. The lands are composed of a wide variety of up to 10 genera of grasses.
- Shrub and forblands – These are predominant in arid and semi-arid areas. The species here are notable for their tolerance to salt and drought. Western Australia and South Australia are abundant in these species.
- Restricted areas – These are areas of 70,000 km square or less of rainforest. They include thickets, eucalyptus forest, Casuarina forest, and Heathlands.
Vascular Flora
The vascular green flora of Australia includes over 20,000 species. Of these, 89 percent are native and 11 percent are naturalised. Vascular flora of the continent has been extensively categorized and catalogued. The categories include angiosperms, non-angiosperms, and spore-bearing flora.
Among angiosperms in Australia, the dicots have the most diversity. The most popular of flora species in Australia are dicots. These include flora of the Fabaceae, Myrtaceae, and Proteaceae families. Among the woody species of the Myrtaceae family are the following:
- Eucalyptus
- Corymbia
- Angophora
- Syzgium
- Melaleuca
- Bottlebrush
- Darwinia
- Leptospermum
- Geraldton wax
The Proteaceae are represented by such genera as Hakea, Dryandra, Banksia, and Grevilea.
Another most abundant floral type is the legume subfamilies. These consist most notably of the Caesalpinioideae such as the Cassia tree. Also notable are the pea-flowered legumes of Faboideae that include golden peas and Sturt's desert peas.
The Mimosoideae consists of the large genus of Acacia, such as the golden wattle.
Seasonal rains bring out notable floral displays among many Australian families of flora. The diverse group of Australian daisies is the most predominant. Flowering shrubs of note include many fragrant varieties such as Boronia, Eriostemon, Rutaceae, Eremophila, and the floral emblem of Victoria, the Epacris impressa.
Other notable angiosperms are ancient flowering hardwoods that include several varieties of oak. Fig trees and sandalwood are also quite abundant. In the salt marshes, species tolerant of drought exist such as saltbushes and bluebushes. Succulents exist in these areas.
This group of seed-bearing green Australia flora is mostly composed of conifers and cycads. The groups are very diverse with over 69 cycad species and native pine trees of 43 species.
Also included in the non-angiosperm green flora of Australia are spore-bearing plants. Ferns are easily found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the continent. Over 390 species of ferns have been catalogued to date.

A Pie for Mikey
Posted: August 13, 2011 | Author: Johanna | Filed under: Johanna | Tags: a pie for mikey, baking, love, Pie | 2 Comments »
This post was hard to write. I don't really have any idea how to encapsulate all the things I'm feeling. Just know that readers, family, everybody….I love you and I'm glad you're in my life. And since today is all we are sure of, today especially, you are important to me.
Right now, I am sitting on my couch, with two people that I love very much. They are playing a video game called 'Splosion Man, and laughing like lunatics. The windows are open, the fan is on.
I will be making Mikey Perillo's favorite PeanutButter Pie tonight, for these guys that I love. And we'll share it, and we'll probably eat it all. A friend has instituted "family dinner", where her friend family gets together and makes/eats dinner together at a scheduled time. The inaugural event will be at our house on Monday, and I will probably make another one for us to share then.
Mike Perillo, father, husband, and friend, died last Sunday suddenly, shockingly and heartbreakingly. Jennie lost her husband. Their two beautiful daughters lost their father. Judging by the crowd of people at the memorial service, I can only assume that hundreds of people lost a dear, good friend. I never met Mikey, and the first time I saw Jennie in person was yesterday morning, at the memorial. But she said "Josie" with such joy when I told her who I was, and hugged me like a friend. There was love everywhere yesterday, and support, and smiles, and food and, as Jennie memorably announced, "Eat up! And there are 10 different kinds of wine!"
Food can heal. And it can celebrate. And it can bring people together, which is what we've all been talking about for as long as there have been bloggers.
Maybe the most affecting part about the hundreds and hundreds of people who answered Jennie's request and made Mikey's favorite peanut butter pie and wrote about it (check it out on Food Network, Food52 and Facebook) is that people are taking this time to remember how precious life is, and share this pie and the words and feelings that come with it. Every single post that I read talks about making today special, and spreading the love and making sure that the people you love the most are aware of your love.
My pie will probably have some tears stirred in. And it might get a little misty when I serve it, even if I don't or can't tell people why. But salted peanuts are the best. And nobody minds a weepy baker if the result is something like this:
I love you. I am happy to know you. I am blessed and lucky that you are in my life. All of you.
Have a slice of pie.

LISBON, Portugal (AP) — Portugal's minister for parliamentary affairs has resigned after months of allegations he received favorable treatment to obtain a university degree in the space of one year.
The prime minister's office said Miguel Relvas presented his resignation Thursday and it was accepted.
Relvas is the first member of the center-right coalition government to quit since it took office almost two years ago. He has been a close adviser to Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho.
Relvas said in a statement that he was resigning because he didn't have the "emotional strength" to continue.
Relvas, 51, graduated with a degree in political science from Lisbon's Universidade Lusofona in 2007. He started the course the previous year.
After media investigations questioned his qualifications, the Education Ministry began investigating. Findings are expected this month.

Manchester man arrested after allegedly firing a gun during an argument
June 21. 2014 1:48PM
MANCHESTER — A 24-year-old city man was arrested on a felony charge after allegedly firing a gun during an argument early Saturday morning.
Michael McClain was charged with reckless conduct and was being held Saturday at Valley Street jail, according to police.
Capt. Jon Hopkins said the incident was unrelated to a recent string of gang-related shooting incidents on Maple Street.
Hopkins said police were called to the area of 844 Clay St. shortly before 3 a.m. Saturday. Witnesses reported seeing a man involved in an argument point a gun in the air and discharge one round before leaving in a gold Nissan Altima. They described the shooter as a "light-skinned black man" wearing a white T-shirt and jeans, Hopkins said.
Shortly after, police officers saw a man matching that description walking in the area and arrested McClain.

The Professional Practice Model of Nursing at University Hospitals Portage Medical Center is patient-centered and is based on our core values of respect, integrity, compassion and excellence. The Registered Nurse, as the coordinator of the delivery of care, utilizes the nursing process and collaborates with all disciplines to make professional nursing practice decisions within their scope of practice that are essential to the care of the patient.
The foundation of our Professional Practice Model is evidence-based practice, which supports the framework within which nurses make decisions about the delivery of care in order to provide high quality care and services reflecting the best standards of health care. Evidence-based practice is the incorporation of best evidence from research, clinical expertise, patient's values and other recognized sources of nursing knowledge. Nursing Practice at UH Portage Medical Center incorporates the nursing theory of Self-Care Deficit by Dorthea Orem. This theoretical framework provides the conceptual model for nursing practice and represents a caring approach that uses experiential and specialized nursing knowledge to design and provide nursing care.
The basic premise of the theory of Self-Care Deficit is the ability to care for self and/or others to maintain a balance of health and well-being. Within Orem's theory, a deficit occurs when situations arise that limits an individual's efforts to meet their own needs and perform self-care. The Registered Nurse uses the nursing process to identify these deficits and develop an individualized plan of care. A therapeutic relationship is established between nurses, patients, their families, and other members of the health care team to accomplish those nursing care interventions and to maximize collaborative, interdisciplinary practice.
The Professional Practice Model encompasses five nursing councils that are integrated, interlinked and interactive to meet the primary goal of optimal patient outcomes. The councils serve to facilitate leadership, communications, information sharing and decision-making processes, all of which guide and support the nurses in the practice of nursing.
The Leadership Council, consisting of nurse leaders, develops and approves leadership strategies, provides oversight, direction and support for the delivery of professional nursing care and practice at UH Portage Medical Center.
The Professional Practice Council, consisting of staff nurses, clinical nurse specialists, patient care services directors, managers, and ad-hoc non-nursing members, promotes evidence-based nursing care and provides oversight and review of the development of Patient Care Services, standards, protocols, policies, procedures and guidelines.
The Nursing Research & Scholarly Activities Council provides oversight for nursing research efforts and scholarly activities within the Patient Care Services
department. Membership consists of staff nurses and nurse leaders.
The Performance Improvement Council develops, implements and monitors strategies for improving outcomes and serves as a resource for unit-specific performance improvement opportunities. The Performance Improvement Council also serves as the medication accuracy subcommittee. Membership consists of staff nurses, clinical nurse specialists, Patient Care Services directors, managers and ad-hoc members.
The RN Advisory Council is a forum for the staff nurse to meet with the vice president, Patient Care Services on a bimonthly basis and participate in an advisory capacity as a representative of their department to provide input, share information and ideas, and discuss priorities about work-related or practice-related issues. Membership consists of the Patient Care Services vice president and staff nurses from all Patient Care Services departments.
Our Patient-Centered Professional Practice Model supports the following concepts of Professional Nursing Practice:

The first estimate of U.S. peanut production for 2003 shows a considerable increase over last year's crop in addition to a record-breaking yield. Production is forecast at 3.96 billion pounds or 19 percent more than the 2002 crop.
Yields are expected to average a record-high 3,102 pounds per acre or 5444 pounds per acre above 2002 levels. Planted acres, at 1.32 million, are 5 percent above earlier estimates but 3 percent below 2002.
Southwest peanut production — New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas — is expected to total 976 million pounds, down 10 percent from 2002. Yields for the region are expected to average 3,307 pounds per acre or 260 pounds above the 2002 level. Record yields are forecast for Oklahoma and Texas as peanut acreage continues to move out of dryland production, leaving a greater percentage of higher yielding irrigated acres.
The region's acreage for harvest, at 295,000 acres, is down 2 percent from earlier estimates and 17 percent below the 2002 level. Acres planted to peanuts in the region are down 2 percent from June and down 19 percent from 2002. Peanuts pegging in Oklahoma, at 96 percent on July 27, were eight percentage points ahead of the five-year average. Texas peanuts pegging, at 80 percent, exceeded the five-year average by one percentage point.
Southeast states
Production in the Southeast states — Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina — is expected to total 2.61 billion pounds, up 37 percent from last year's level. Yields in the four-state area are expected to average 3,070 pounds per acre or 637 pounds more than in 2002.
Expected acreage for harvest, at 849,000 acres, is up 6 percent from the June estimate and up 8 percent from the previous year. Planted acres, at 864,000, are up 6 percent from the June estimate and up 8 percent from 2002. As of July 27, peanuts pegging in Alabama were at 87 percent, exceeding the five-year average by 11 percentage points. Florida peanuts pegging, at 90 percent, were ahead of average by five percentage points. Georgia peanuts pegging, at 88 percent, lagged the five-year average by four percentage points.
Virginia-North Carolina production is forecast at 379 million pounds, up 15 percent from 2002. Yield is forecast at 2,850 pounds per acre, up 750 pounds from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 133,000 acres, up 11 percent from June but down 15 percent from the previous year.
Planted acres in Virginia-North Carolina are up 12 percent from June estimates but down 16 percent from 2002. As of July 27, the North Carolina peanut crop had reached 85 percent pegging or 5 percentage points behind the five-year average. Virginia peanuts pegging, at 50 percent, lagged the five-year average by 32 percentage points. Heavy spring moisture with few drying days during planting season delayed the Virginia peanut crop.

Vampire Weekend Brush Up On Their Italian, Cover Andrea Bocelli's 'Con Te Partiro'
While other artists are busy premiering new tracks and LPs, Vampire Weekend have kicked off 2014 with a modern twist on an old classic. Dusting off their Italian skills, the guys have decided to tackle 'Con Te Partiro' ('Time To Say Goodbye'), originally sung by Andrea Bocelli.
If Bocelli were to perform the song on some Caribbean island, this is exactly the sound he'd go for. The reggae-fied melody -- something of a signature for the guys of Vampire Weekend -- makes the otherwise traditional and conservative song a bit more approachable, especially for those yet to tiptoe into the opera realm.
The track will be featured on the 'Sweetheart' compilation, which arrives digitally -- and on Starbucks store shelves -- on Feb. 4. Fiona Apple, Jim James and Beck are among the other artists who cover famous love songs for the album -- just in time for Valentine's Day.

Veronica W. "Ronne" Hackett has joined Brookfield Office Properties (NYSE, TSX: BPO) as senior vice president of development for U.S. commercial operations. In this role, she will oversee the company's 9.6 million sq. ft. development pipeline that includes properties in New York, Washington, D.C., Houston, Los Angeles and Denver. Hackett also will pursue new development opportunities in the company's core U.S. markets.
New York-based Brookfield Office Properties owns, develops and manages premier office properties in the United States, Canada and Australia. Its portfolio includes interests in 109 properties totaling more than 78 million sq. ft. in the downtown cores of several major cities.
"Ronne Hackett is a noted leader in both the New York City and national real estate community with an impressive history of developing Class-A properties," says Dennis Friedrich, president and CEO of U.S. commercial operations for Brookfield Office Properties. "Her talent and experience will be an important asset to advancing our development efforts."
Hackett has more than 25 years of experience in various executive-level positions in commercial real estate. Most recently, she was the co-founder and managing partner of The Clarett Group, a New York-based real estate company that develops mixed-use properties in urban areas. Founded in 2000, the Clarett Group completed nine high-rise buildings in New York.
Prior to founding the Clarett Group, Hackett spent 10 years as executive vice president of Park Tower Realty, a New York office building development company. She was a key executive in developing signature iconic office buildings including headquarter buildings for J.P. Morgan and IBM Corp.
In addition to Hackett's work as a private sector developer, she has been a leading corporate real estate executive in the U.S. and Europe, a real estate pension fund asset manager, a real estate lender, and a senior vice president of a major money center bank.
Crain's New York Business listed Hackett as one of the city's 100 most influential women in business. The New York Observer named Hackett one of the 100 most important people in real estate.
Hackett received her MBA in finance from New York University and a bachelor's degree in history and economics from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland.
Brookfield's stock price closed Friday, March 4 at $17.50 per share, up from $14.06 a year earlier on the New York Stock Exchange.


text: Ok. I got the game Operation FlashPoint about a year ago and I was wondering about the fade features in the game and how it works. I checked it out and it says that it wears out the quality of the game everytime someone tries burning it. I also have problems with it. When I put the disk in it's tray I sometimes need to re-open the CD-Drive because the first scan doesn't open the AUTO.EXE on its first scan. If I just hit the icon rather than wait for the AUTO.EXE to load the program it says there isn't a disk in the tray and it stays that way intil I re-install the program. My CD-Drive is working fine with other programs except this one and since this is the only thing I own with a Fade Feature then I can only assume that this may be to blame. I beleave that this 'Fade"feature' has code at the begining of the disk that messes up the scan when disk try copying it and I think this may be what is causeing the problems when I try loading the game. I heard sony made disk like this is it the same thing?

This article describes the first Civilian Conservation Corps camps in Franklin County. The CCC (1933-1942) was an especially popular program of the early New Deal. The CCC was a work relief program that employed teenagers and young men, often from cities, in national forests and rural areas. The program attempted to deal with the twin problems of unemployment and environmental destruction. CCC workers, living in military-style camps administered by the War Department, battled forest fires, fought soil erosion and protected wildlife habitats. The early CCC camps in Franklin county were located in state forests, although a number were later constructed on other public lands.

The Student Experience
Recognizing that the skills and previous educational experiences of students vary widely, faculty at Virginia Wesleyan are committed to guiding students and helping them advance their skills, from the time they enter until they graduate. To get the most from their experience, students will need to possess the following general academic skills and personal qualities:
1.Organizational and time management skills. The 4x4 curriculum demands that students prioritize their academic work over jobs, sports, and other activities. The time commitment required for success is a major change for many students who are new to the University. The papers, independent projects, and other enhancements in many courses require students to devote significant time outside of class to course-related activities, working independently or in small groups. First-semester students need to recognize and adapt quickly to this increase in their academic responsibilities.
2. The ability to persist. The 4x4 curriculum requires that students enter the University with well-established study habits and the willingness to spend countless hours strengthening their academic skills to accomplish the intense intellectual work typical of the 4-semester hour courses. Writing an original research paper or completing a significant hands-on project requires students to tackle a series of complex problems over an extended period of time. They must be willing and able to work through multiple stages and multiple revisions, assisted by professors who provide mentoring and encouragement.
3. Effective communication with faculty, staff, and other students. Many of the course enhancements in the 4x4 curriculum require students to be proactive and articulate as they seek information and assistance from other students, faculty, librarians, and professionals at institutions and organizations outside the University. This is a change for many students, compared to their high school experience. They must be willing to seek out support and encouragement from faculty members and advisors as they learn to articulate their needs clearly and diplomatically.
4. The ability to read and respond to complex texts. The 4x4 curriculum requires entering students to possess strong general reading skills. During their years at the University, they will be expected to draw on a broad educational background to interpret texts according to their cultural and rhetorical contexts, and to recognize structural elements, analyze arguments, and detect implicit assumptions and agendas.
5. The ability to develop questions, synthesize and respond to ideas, and apply theory to practice. The 4x4 curriculum requires students to respond thoughtfully and critically to the ideas they encounter in their courses. It is designed to counteract the common assumption that learning means simply collecting information. It encourages students to grapple independently with ideas, questioning what they read and hear, and to develop their own interpretations, arguments, and applications, resulting in greater cognitive development and deeper insight than they would gain from a curriculum that requires only memorization and basic comprehension.
6. The ability to present their ideas effectively. The 4x4 curriculum demands strong writing and oral communication skills. Major papers and projects usually require students to articulate and support complex ideas, sustained over the course of many pages or in presentations with multiple components. Thus entering students should possess strong general language skills and be prepared to master the discipline-specific rhetorical and stylistic conventions appropriate for presenting their work to an academic community.

KTM continues to be the harlot of the motorcycle industry, as the Austrian company has again spread its legs open for our ever-growing two-wheeled lust — this time in the form of the 2013 KTM 1190 Super Duke. Some more "spy photo" nonsense, the KTM 1190 Super Duke is seen here in its unfinished prototype form, though we certainly won't have to wait long before the bike's official unveiling in a few weeks at INTERMOT.
Expected to get a de-tuned version of the KTM 1190 RC8 R motor, one can likely expect that KTM 1190 Super Duke to share its engine with the already leaked and debuted KTM 1190 Adventure. If that is the case, expect a torquey 147hp machine that should slot in nicely with competitors like the Ducati Streetfighter and Aprilia Tuono V4 R.

London rioters should 'loose all benefits'
Angry e-petition demands serious, if misspelled, action
Amid angry calls for UK rioters to face plastic bullets, water cannon, the Army, a spell in the Army, jail or all of the above, comes this e-petition demanding that the feral youth of Britain be stripped of their state hand-outs.
Or rather, it insists that convicted public disorder offenders "loose all benefits", which we imagine is some kind of welfare state equivalent of letting slip the dogs of war.
The text clarifies: "Any persons convicted of criminal acts during the current London riots should have all financial benefits removed. No tax payer should have to contribute to those who have destroyed property, stolen from their community and shown a disregard for the country that provides for them."
The Department for Work and Pensions is going to have to take this particular e-petition seriously, since it had already clocked up just under 71,000 signatures, as we publish this from the Vulture Central insurrection-proof London bunker complex.
We have no doubt that when the government agrees to the taxpayers' demands it will instruct the DWP as to how exactly rioters' benefits are to be "loosed", while the Metropolitan Police will certainly need guidelines on protecting law-abiding citizens' lunchboxes from packs of penniless and starving hoodies. ®

Hall of Primitive Mammals
The Hall of Primitive Mammals, one of two halls in the Lila Acheson Wallace Wing of Mammals and Their Extinct Relatives, traces the lower branches of the evolutionary tree of mammals, including monotremes, marsupials, sloths, and armadillos.
The roots of the mammalian line reach back almost 300 million years. Some of the very early mammal relatives dominated the landscape millions of years before dinosaurs appeared, and most of these species became extinct. During the age of dinosaurs, most mammals were not much bigger than small rodents. It was after the extinction of the large dinosaurs that the great diversity of mammals arose.
This hall highlights the development of such key mammalian physical features as the synapsid opening in the skull, a large hole behind the eye socket for muscles that extend to the jaw; three middle ear bones; and the placenta. These traits correspond to eating, hearing, and reproduction, and each trait represents the splitting off of an evolutionary branch. Animal groups represented in this hall include monotremes, multituberculates, triconodonts, edentates, and extinct relatives of mammals, such as the Dimetrodon and glyptodonts. Some living animals from these groups, such as the egg-laying mammal platypus, a monotreme, are called "living fossils."
Dimetrodon was one of the earliest relatives of mammals. The large "sail" on its back may have been used for temperature regulation, to attract mates, or to frighten off other animals.
For millions of years, enormous, plant-eating glyptodonts lumbered across the Americas. Some species were as large as cars: up to 10 feet long. They were covered with thick armor, made from bone that grew from within their skin.
Giant ground sloths such as Lestodon lived in South America and became extinct 30,000 years ago. There is evidence that ground sloths and early humans used the same caves, but not necessarily at the same time.
Mammals have evolved to live on land, in the sea, and in the air. They move through their environments in many different ways: by hopping, running, flying, swimming, gliding, walking, climbing, and swinging from tree limb to tree limb.
Numerous remains of the Smilodon, or saber-toothed cat, have been found at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles. Scientists are unsure why this site attracted so many saber-toothed cats, but some suggest these cats may have been scavengers rather than hunters.

Job interviews are stressful for most, but the process can be unbearable for people with social anxiety. As a result, social anxiety sufferers often wind up unemployed or in jobs below their training level. Ethan Moitra, a clinical psychologist at Brown University, decided to quantify this problem by comparing unemployment rates across similar disorders. His results were surprising: individuals with social anxiety were more than twice as likely to be unemployed as those with depression and generalized anxiety, which had minimal effects on employment. Psychotherapy can help reduce social anxiety, Moitra says, but early detection is key.

DOVER, Del. (AP) — The DuPont Co. says lower prices for titanium dioxide and volume declines in some business segments contributed to a drop in second-quarter earnings.
The company also says it is exploring possible sale or spinoff of its performance chemicals business.
The Wilmington, Del.-based company said net income totaled just over $1 billion, or $1.11 per share for the quarter ending June 30, compared to $1.16 billion, or $1.23 per share, for the same period last year.
Revenue fell 1 percent to $9.8 billion as lower selling prices and currency effect offset a 1 percent volume gain.
Wall Street analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting income of $1.27 per share on revenue of $10.04 billion.
Last week, DuPont's share price soared to its highest point in more than 13 years after a report that activist investor Nelson Peltz had taken a significant stake in the company.

La FAO y la CELAC unen esfuerzos para avanzar hacia la erradicación del hambre
27 de enero de 2013, Santiago de Chile - The FAO Director General gave his full support and offered FAO's technical cooperation and experience in agricultural development and food security to Raul Castro, President of the Council of State and Ministers of Cuba, a nation that assumes the Pro-tempore Presidency of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, CELAC.
During the CELAC-European Union Summit, which was held in Santiago de Chile, José Graziano da Silva, Director-General of FAO, met with the President of Cuba to discuss joint actions between FAO and CELAC to move towards the eradication of hunger in the region.
"Cuba is a country that has extensive experience in the fight against hunger, and is one of the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean that has already achieved the first Millennium Development Goal, related to the eradication of hunger," said Graziano, emphasizing the full eradication of hunger in the Caribbean country.
During the occasion, the President of Cuba accepted the offer made by FAO to support the Pro-tempore presidency of CELAC in developing a regional plan for the eradication of hunger.
Graziano stressed that CELAC should continue emphasizing food security in its agenda because, "there can be no sustainable development while there are 49 million hungry people in Latin America and the Caribbean".
This is particularly complex in Central America, where the incidence of poverty affects 51% of the population, significantly higher than the rate in Latin America and the Caribbean as a whole (33%). Malnutrition, in turn, affects 15% of Central Americans, well above the average for Latin America and the Caribbean, of only 8%. According to FAO, child malnutrition rates are also higher than the continental average, and a total of 6 million people suffer from hunger in Central America.
South-South Cooperation and emphasis on Central America and the Caribbean
Graziano called on the President of Cuba for both CELAC and Cuba to maintain and expand their South-South cooperation, with special emphasis on the nations of the Caribbean and Central America, sub-regions where hunger affects a large proportion of the population.
"It's time for Latin America and the Caribbean to become its own best development partner, helping less fortunate countries, using their accumulated knowledge as well as technical and professional resources to support each other," said the FAO Director-General.
Graziano highlighted the actions that Cuba has undertaken to support other developing countries, making it one of the major players in this field, both in Latin America and the Caribbean as well as in countries in Africa, on topics such as health, education and agriculture, among others.
In this context, President Castro stressed the importance of continuing to support the development process in Haiti, noting that, "the food situation in Haiti is a continent-wide problem, for which all countries should support the solution.
"Cuba was one of the first countries to join the South-South Cooperation program of FAO. Through actions in countries such as Cape Verde, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Venezuela and the Caribbean countries, Cuba has become an example that we hope other nations will imitate, especially in higher level entities, such as CELAC " said Graziano da Silva.

Havre, Helena teachers are finalists
When Mary Wren teaches math, she exudes so much enthusiasm about the subject that it becomes contagious with her students. "You can almost see the light bulbs going on in their heads," says Great Falls parent Debby Plath, whose two children had Wren as a math teacher.
"Caring, compassionate, innovative, a problem solver, a leader who is highly respected by her peers, a master teacher" is how Principal Shelly Fagenstrom of Paris Gibson Middle School describes Wren.
Wren's enthusiasm, leadership, and successful teaching recently earned her the distinguished title of Montana Teacher of the Year 2005. An interview committee comprised of 2004 Montana Teacher of the Year Alyson Mike of East Helena, other professional educators, an Office of Public Instruction representative, a parent/school board member, and a high school student chose Wren from among three finalists.
Montana's Teacher of the Year program annually honors a teacher who exemplifies excellence in the teaching profession. The program is sponsored and administered by the Montana Professional Teaching Foundation, a nonprofit organization.
To be chosen Montana Teacher of the Year is the highest honor a Montana teacher can earn. It's an honor that took Wren by surprise. "It hasn't hit me yet," she says.
Wren is in her 16th year with Great Falls public schools. She just started this fall at Great Falls High after 11 years at Paris Gibson Middle School. She and her husband, special education teacher Craig Wren, have three boys.
Wren demands that her students do their best in math, no matter what their ability level. "Math opens a lot of doors," she says. "It follows us through our whole lives. One of my priorities in the classroom is to help students overcome any lack of confidence they may have in math and also to present the material in such a way that students learn it and have fun doing it."
In her quest to share her passion for math and make it fun, Wren has created several innovative projects, including a school-wide celebration of "Pi Day." For this three-week unit, students brought cans of food to school. They measured the circumference and diameter of the cans and found the quotient of the two, thus discovering pi. They created pi posters to decorate the school. Teachers of all subjects were encouraged to include pi in their lessons. Math teachers sang pi songs on the morning announcements leading up to Pi Day.
Pi Day culminated with a spirited school-wide assembly in which the counselors and associate principal received a "pi in the face." Students later donated the cans of food, over 300 of them, to the Community Food Bank.
Wren holds a bachelors degree in mathematics from the University of Montana-Missoula and a masters in education from Lesley University in Cambridge, Mass.
She previously won three Great Falls Public Schools Good Apple Awards. She was selected as a Great Falls Tribune Teacher of the Week in March 2004, and she won the Presidential Award for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching in March 2004.
As Montana's Teacher of the Year for 2005, Wren will represent Montana at the National Teacher of the Year event, sponsored by the Council of Chief State School Officers. She will also serve as a spokesperson for the teaching profession throughout the year. Along with other state teachers of the year, she will meet the president of the United States at a private Rose Garden ceremony at the White House in spring 2005 and attend International Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. next summer.
Along with Wren, finalists in this year's Montana Teacher of the Year event are Dana West, English/social studies teacher and counselor at Sunnyside Intermediate and Lincoln McKinley schools in Havre, and Margaret Belisle, English teacher at Helena High School. Congratulations to all three!
The Montana Professional Teaching Foundation was created in 1996 by MEA-MFT, Montana's teachers' and public employees' association, to promote and recognize excellent teaching.
The foundation's board of directors includes professional Montana teachers plus representatives from private business, the Office of Public Instruction, School Administrators of Montana, Montana Parent Teacher Association, Montana School Boards Association, and MEA-MFT.

Chay's Lake Hollywood Kitchen
The first thing I noticed about this Lake Hollywood kitchen is the tremendous copper hood above the stove. Come to find out it looks so lovely because its owner, Chay, scrubbed the old ugly varnish off herself to reveal the gorgeous natural color beneath. The rest of the kitchen is warm and woody, with butcher block countertops, dishes from Heath Ceramics (her biggest indulgence), and polished concrete floors.

Watch Another Preview for the Selena Gomez 'Come + Get It' Video
Selena Gomez initially appeared not to do much other than her now-signature Bollywood style dancing in her video for 'Come + Get It' -- at least based on the first trailer. But a second teaser actually hints that the much-hyped, highly anticipated video may be a little sexier than anyone first thought.
Gomez has a co-star! And they get pretty cozy together, if only very, very briefly. And for those of you wondering, no, the gentleman is not Justin Bieber ... not even close! Tune in to see just how hot she'll get on May 7 when the video drops.

Here at MindMyHouse we've provided all the tools for home owners and house sitters to find each from around the globe (or around the corner). And it works!
Home owners join for free. House sitter memberships are the cheapest on the web at only US$20 or equivalent per year. Dual memberships are perfectly respectable.
Membership has its privileges! Members get their own password-protected account area. From here they can instantly create and update their advert, save a shortlist of favourite adverts, search the database, devour our FAQs, set up email alerts…the list goes on.
Once home owners and house sitters have contacted each other, the process of selection and negotiating the terms of the house sitting assignment begins. By using our legal forms and templates the whole process becomes a lot more organised. Happy house sitting!
The internet has made many new kinds of human interaction possible. In the past, home owners who wanted their pets and property maintained in their absence could either pay a large sum of money to an agency for the service or cast around among friends and family for an obliging (but often unreliable) person.
Here at MindMyHouse we've provided an online matching service to bring home owners and house sitters together for the free exchange of goods (accommodation) for services (house and pet sitting). And it works! House sitting worldwide is a fast growing phenomenon.
For a small annual fee (US$20/£11/E16/AU$27), house sitters create and update a personal sitter available advert which features on our site. Home owners can login and search our database of house sitters' ads for free. After making a shortlist of candidates, home owners can then contact house sitters by email or phone to discuss their house sitting assignment.
Some home owners (although not many) choose to advertise their house sitting assignment. Only house sitters registered with MindMyHouse will be able to see home owners' contact details. House sitters can then contact a home owner and try to sell themselves as the right candidate for the job. The rest, as they say, is up to you.
At MindMyHouse we provide as much information and advice as we can to help both parties negotiate a pleasant and mutually agreeable house sitting experience. Download, print and use our range of PDF files to help make the whole process much more organised and secure. These document templates can function as house sitting agreements, security deposit lodgement forms and property condition reports. It's best to spell out exactly what each party's obligations and expectations are of the other before beginning the house sitting assignment. Happy house sitting!

I hope all the people that think that was Dengar are huge EU fans. That's quite a stretch in my opinion. I didn't see Bossk either, but I don't see how you could identify him versus several billion other trandoshans that might be there.
I never did see Bossk though have seen photos of him there (and even some of the trading cards as well). Where was he shown?

WASHINGTON -- House Republicans spent hours behind closed doors on Saturday crafting a government-funding bill stuffed with unrelated provisions on Obamacare and contraception. In the meantime, Democrats whiled away the time by doing something far more entertaining: watching "The Daily Show" TV host Jon Stewart make fun of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
House Democratic caucus chairman Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.) opened a caucus meeting with a clip of Stewart reacting in disbelief to the fact that Cruz read aloud the Dr. Seuss classic Green Eggs and Ham during his 21-hour talk-a-thon on the Senate floor earlier this week in protest of Obamacare.
In the segment, Stewart wonders aloud why Cruz chose that particular Dr. Seuss book to trash Obamacare given its moral. "To express your opposition to Obamacare, you go with a book about a stubborn jerk who decides he hates something before he's tried it?" Stewart said to laughter. "And when he finally does get a taste, he has to admit after tasting it, 'this is pretty f*cking good.'"
Stewart then read aloud from what he called his favorite Dr. Seuss book, "the slightly lesser known tale of 'The Bore-Ax.'" It's not actually a Dr. Seuss book, but a "Daily Show" creation. Stewart held up the book, which featured a cartoonish image of Cruz on the cover, and began reading the tale of Cruz's disdain for Obamacare:
"In the land of D.C., in the Senate of snooze,
lived the showboat-iest blab whose name was Ted Cruz.
Ted talked about health care, compared it to Nazis
As comparisons go, he was off by a lot-sy.
Health care, he said, would end this great nation
A point made after hours of mouth masturbation.
Repeal it! Defund it! Erase it! Deny it!
Murder it! Skull f*ck it! Bread and deep-fry it!
Cruz claimed freedom and liberty, but it was all a big show
Because he could have spent time making sure the law didn't blow."
The segment helped lighten the mood amid tensions over a potential government shutdown, according to Democrats who were in the room.
"It was so funny," said one aide. "A lot of laughter."
"The most useful part of the meeting," said one Democratic lawmaker. Another congresswoman said she missed the meeting, but heard it was "hysterical."
Becerra told The Huffington Post he decided to play the clip because when he saw it on the Comedy Central network earlier in the week, he couldn't think of a better way to sum up the current mess in Congress.
"It illustrates best the absurdity of the tea party dysfunction," Beccera said. "Jon Stewart was spot on, talking about how absurd and contradictory Sen. Cruz was in his presentation. In less than 10 minutes, Jon Stewart laid it out as good as I've seen it in terms of what we're facing with this obstruction and dysfunction."
