Cameron Holds First Meeting With Hollande
David Cameron has said his first face-to-face meeting with the French President was "very good", as world leaders start arriving at the G8 summit in the US.
Speaking at a joint news conference with the newly-elected Francois Hollande, the Prime Minister said: "President Hollande and I have had a very good meeting - we have reaffirmed the importance of the strong relationship between Britain and France."
Earlier this year, Mr Cameron snubbed the socialist presidential candidate when he visited London - but today said he had invited Mr Hollande to visit the UK "soon, to discuss all of the issues that are very much on our joint agenda."
Topics discussed at the meeting included defence, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and the economy, Mr Cameron said.
"We've discussed the economic challenges that we face and we both want to see stability in international markets," he said.
"We both want to see countries deal with their deficits and we both want to see economic growth, and I know we'll be having many more discussions about this, obviously at the G8 and in the meetings that we have in the European union next week and in subsequent meetings."
Speaking ahead of the talks with Mr Hollande, who swept to power on a promise of putting growth before austerity, the Prime Minister insisted the pair would find common ground.
"There is no conflict between austerity and growth - you need to have a strong deficit reduction programme in order to get growth," Mr Cameron told Sky's Adam Boulton.
"President Hollande believes that and I believe that."
Mr Cameron said the tresident was not proposing extra spending and actually wanted to balance the books quicker than the UK Government was planning.
"Indeed the French plan to balance their budget actually happens faster than the British plan," he said, adding: "I am sure we will find many common agendas."
One issue over which the two leaders were likely to disagree, however, is a Europe-wide financial transaction tax, supported by Mr Hollande.
The Prime Minister issued a blunt warning about the measure, which he said would not be supported by Britain.
"On the financial transaction tax I'm very clear: we're not going to get growth in Europe or in Britain by introducing a new tax that would actually hit people as well as financial institutions," Mr Cameron said.
"I don't think it's a sensible measure, I will not support it."
The G8 talks are expected to be dominated by the eurozone crisis and the threat posed to world economies, international currencies and markets by the financial collapse and political vacuum in Greece.
Before the summit began, Mr Cameron insisted Britain is in a good economic position.
"In Britain we have the advantage of having our own currency, our own central bank, a strong Government with a strong plan to get the deficit down, and taking strong action across the board to encourage growth," he said.
The Prime Minister has insisted he will do "whatever it takes" to protect the UK from the fallout from the Greek crisis - but said the coalition's deficit reduction plans would stay.
After the G8 gathering at the US President Barack Obama's country retreat at Camp David, Mr Cameron will attend a Nato summit in Chicago.

Comments about CobraCo Vintage Copper Fire Pit:
One of the screws used to attach the rings to the legs was totally devoid of threads, and no extra pieces were provided. I assembled it anyways and will see if it stays put. The defective part is the reason for 4 stars vs. 5.

The problem with the 50th ret-conning isn't that the Doctor's emotional integrity re: his post-Time War angst disappears. Obviously, he really believes he sacrificed Gallifrey, believes all those people burned, etc. He'll still feel really, really bad about it.
The problems are that:
A) OUR response as the audience to the first seven seasons of NuWho has been compromised because WE know that it's all a lie. The emotional resonance of those scenes is irrevocably altered because instead of feeling the weight of that choice and empathizing with and/or shuddering at the Doctor's actions, we become sympathetic — the poor dear just doesn't know the truth. Don't worry, though, he'll find out in time that it was all a lie, the wee lamb.
B) It has fundamentally changed the nature of the Doctor's character. Before he was actually capable of causing that much destruction. Now he is not. That detracts hugely from the character because it erases one of his flaws — that in the right (wrong) circumstances, the Doctor could be terrible, fearsome; he has the capacity for that inside him. That he chooses to be otherwise, as much as he is able, is what makes him heroic.
Think about the conversation in Boom Town between the Doctor and Margaret the Slitheen. He has her number, absolutely understands her motivation, calls her on all her bullshit, and what does she say? "Only a killer would know that." The truth of that moment was brilliant, powerful, and a little disturbing — we are meant to fear him a little because of it. Now we know we don't need to, we never need to, because the Doctor?
Oh, he'd never do a thing like that.

BASALT - There will be no Town to Town Tour this weekend, but organizers of the former nordic tour from Aspen to Basalt have settled on a new and hopefully enticing idea that involves locals and their favorite trails. And weather won't be a factor.
Basalt-based Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers will launch Climb For Trails this summer. The fundraiser will run from Memorial Day through Labor Day, giving participants a chance to raise money for the organization while they're doing what they presumably do anyway - hiking or biking up their usual workout route.
Every community has the classic climb that many residents do regularly for exercise, noted Suzanne Wolff, a member of the board of directors for Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers. In Aspen, it's the hike up Smuggler Mountain; in the Basalt area, it's the Arbaney-Kittle Trail; in Carbondale, it's the Red Hill/Mushroom Rock hike and so on.
Climb For Trails challenges participants to log their outings on these trails throughout the summer and raise money with each and every climb. Proceeds will support Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers in its efforts to create and maintain trails and other public-lands projects.
Climb For Trails takes the place of the Town to Town Tour, a nordic event that debuted in 2008 and would have been scheduled this weekend on the Rio Grande Trail had its hosts not given up trying to hold a snow-dependent activity. A lack of snow forced postponement of the tour in 2011, and it was canceled altogether last year.
"Of course, this year, there's snow on the trail, but we're OK not having to go through that headache - will there be snow, won't there be snow?" Wolff said. "We're done with the weather thing."
After last year's cancellation, the organization turned to its volunteers, putting out the call for suggestions to replace the tour with some other sort of event.
"We had 40 different ideas of what we should do," said David Hamilton, executive director of the nonprofit. Climb For Trails was suggested by someone familiar with Climb the King, an annual fundraiser in Jackson, Wyo., that challenges locals to log their trips up Snow King, the ski area on the edge of town. It's a popular workout route for its vertical rise of about 1,500 feet. The 2012 Climb the King website tallied 840 participants, 58 teams and 9,001 climbs.
Climb For Trails will take a similar approach, allowing individuals and teams to log their climbs up the classic routes in each community: Smuggler, the Rim Trail in Snowmass Village, Arbaney-Kittle, Red Hill in Carbondale, Red Mountain/Jeanne Golay Trail in Glenwood Springs and Colorow Trail in New Castle.
The event is appealing for many reasons, Hamilton said. Participation should be broader, it requires less staff time for Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers, and it presents less risk than taking on the expense and arrangement of a weather-dependent nordic tour.
It also happens to showcase trails that Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers has actually worked on, though in the case of Smuggler Mountain, the organization's recent efforts have centered on the Smuggler Mountain Open Space that is just beyond the typical turnaround point for many who hike or bike the dirt road for exercise. Volunteers did help replace the viewing platform on Smuggler a few years back, though, and create a new spur trail to reach it.
In the case of Colorow Trail, a 3.5-mile loop on Bureau of Land Management property just north of New Castle, volunteers spent three years actually building the route.
Climb For Trails is far more in keeping with the mission of Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers than was the Town to Town Tour, Wolff said.
"Yeah, it's cool to ski the Rio Grande Trail, but it's not a trail we ever worked on," she said.
A website for the new event - www.climbfortrails.org - went live this week, though it is still a work in progress. Registrants need an email address to sign up and, once registration is under way, will be asked to pay a $15 entry fee, for which they'll receive a Climb For Trails cap. Participants can then pledge any amount they wish to Roaring Fork Outdoor Volunteers for each climb they make and seek others to sponsor them, as well. There will be opportunities for team participation and sponsorships. Employers can pledge on behalf of their employees as a wellness initiative, Wolff said.
Swag and prizes are envisioned for top climbers and fundraisers. The website will track participation.
This year will feature just the six community hikes, but there is the potential to add others in future years or make it a winter event, as well, Hamilton said.
"We really hope the community agrees with us - thinks this is a great idea and gets on board with it," he said.

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
With a mostly clear sky, temperatures will drop below zero over much of Southern Colorado. In fact, the coming night will likely be the coldest of the season. Given how cold it will be, roads won't be able to recover much by Wednesday morning. That said, prepare for another slow commute...along with bitter cold temperatures. Ample sunshine should allow for roads to gradually improve throughout the course of the day on Wednesday.
Gradually warmer weather will arrive later this week, with the warmest weather expected this weekend.

Banks hurt by shift to electronic currency trading
- Greg Edwards
- Reporter- St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook
Electronic trading is taking a bite out of currency trading revenue at banks, The Wall Street Journal reports today.
"The pain is being felt across the industry. Banks reported sharp drops in currency-trading revenue last quarter, in many cases deepening a slump that began early this year. Even Deutsche Bank AG, the world's biggest foreign-exchange bank, reported revenue 'significantly lower than the prior year' even as the volume of transactions it handled hit a record high in the third quarter," the paper reported.
"The FX market has gone through a transition to being much more automated, and an obvious conclusion of automation is it becomes much more competitive," Fabian Eliasson, head of currency sales at Mizuho Corp. Bank in New York, told the paper. "It's the same thing that happened with stocks 20 years ago," when trading moved to electronic exchanges, eroding profits for traditional brokerages, according to the Journal.

The dark spirits are strong in this Weekend Web. The devil has sent us a horrific forum full of sad emo kids who can't stop posting on the Internet. They get boners for posing for pictures in graveyards while normal people try to visit the graves of their loved ones. Gothic.net is where they congregate and think of new graveyards to pose in. Let's take a look at the dark secrets in their hearts that pulsate like the fiery depths of hell.

If you're planning on moving to Houston, TX, you'll find there are many options available for 1 bedroom apartments. Searching for an apartment online can help expedite the process. There are many comprehensive listings available for apartments in Houston that include things like floor plans, pictures and detailed descriptions of amenities.
Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest city in the United States. Nicknamed "Space City," for being home to the Johnson Space Center, Houston has benefited from the economic boom that has been prevalent throughout Texas recently.
Apartment living in many parts of Houston offers the convenience of living near where you work and being close to parks, public transportation and major attractions. No matter what neighborhood you wish to live in, you'll find there are many desirable options when it comes to choosing a 1 bedroom apartment.
Your search for an apartment can be made easier by paying close attention to the names of neighborhoods and districts and finding apartments for rent that are located close to where you will be working or where your friends or family may live. Some neighborhoods within the city where you might find one bedroom apartments include Downtown, Acres Home, Clear Lake, Galleria, Medical Center, Midtown and Montrose.
1 bedroom, or single room apartments are typically comprised of a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Square footage and amenities will vary depending on the apartment you choose to rent and other factors like the neighborhood you are interested in living in.
In addition to 1 bedroom apartments, you will also find studio apartments and condo rentals available. Studios tend to be smaller than 1 bedroom apartments and the bedroom is not separated from the rest of the house. Condos are similar to apartments, but are generally available to own and typically located within high-rise developments. Duplexes are two-unit structures as opposed to high-rises.
It's easier to find your own little corner of space in Houston when you narrow your online apartment hunting strategy to fall within certain parameters regarding size, location and amenities desired. Once you decide what's important to you, use an online apartment locator to find the perfect 1 bedroom apartment for your needs.

Brian Doan wonders if Mark Cousins' "The Story of Film," showing over 15 weeks on TCM this fall, deserves all the praise it has received.
Arthur Penn's "Night Moves" (1975) is one of the great movies of the '70s. As a detective picture about a private eye with flawed vision -- in this case, a small-time independent dick and former football player named Harry Moseby (Gene Hackman), who'd like to think he's Sam Spade -- it would make a great double bill with "Chinatown," released the previous year. Yesterday, when the news came of French director Eric Rohmer's death, a lot of people who apparently hadn't even seen "Night Moves" (or, perhaps, a Rohmer movie) were freely quoting Moseby's famous wisecrack in pieces about Rohmer without providing any context for it:
"I saw a Rohmer film once. It was kind of like watching paint dry."
It wasn't long before it even became a Twitter meme: #nightmoves. (See examples below, after jump.)
What some (not all) of the quoters didn't seem to realize or remember is that Harry's remark, as scripted by Alan Sharp, is a brittle homophobic jab at a gay friend of his wife's. (Watch the clip above.) Ellen (Susan Clark) invites Harry to join her and Charles (Ben Archibek -- that's him at the end of the clip) for a movie: Eric Rohmer's classic "My Night at Maud's" (1970), about an engaged man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who spends a long, memorable night in conversation with a divorcee (Françoise Fabian). Moseby is asserting his macho credentials, and ends the scene by teasing Charles about going bowling again sometime. "You seem to get some weird kind of satisfaction from this sort of thing, don't you?" Charles replies. Later that night, Harry drives by the theater as the movie is letting out and sees something indicating that his wife may be having an affair.

The Kingdom of Coleraine, or Ríocht na hUlaidh Thair Nhua in Irish, is a Tánist state in North America.
Contents |
Brief History
The origins of the Ríocht can be found in Ulster in the North of Ireland. In AD 875 when Cathalán mac Indrechtaig was crowned King of Ulster. His direct descendants would become known as the House of Ó Catháin, which still rules the successors states of Cathalán's Kingdom. In the succeeding centuries the Uí Catháin, as they became known, were soon made the Ua Rígh or Under Kings of Ulster. They would hold this throne until 1628. The following is a list of the Ó Catháin Under Kings from the 12th century AD to their fall in 1628.
- King Turlough (1096 - 1103)
- Information Lost due to the Cromwellian sack of Dungiven Castle AD 1658
- King Conchobur (1171 - 1178)
- King Gilla Crist (1178 - 1182)
- King Fearal (1182 - 1213)
- King Eachmarcac (1213 - 1247)
- King Maghnus Cat Duin (1247 - 1260)
- King Cúmhaí I (1260 - 1303)
- King Diarmuid I (1303)
- King Rurarí I (1303 - 1349)
- King Cooey the Foreigner (1349 - 1385)
- King Diarmuid II (1385 - 1428)
- King Godfrey (1428 - 1433)
- King Manus I (1433 - 1468)
- King Rurarí II (1468 - 1472)
- King Seán I (1472 - 1498)
- King Donough (1450 - 1523)
- King Manus II (1523 - 1548)
- King Rurarí III (1548 - 1598)
- King Domhnáill I (1598 - 1628)
After the death of King Domhnáill I in 1628 the royal house went into exile. It was not until 2009 that his heir Tómás Ó Catháin was named the King of the new realm Ulaidh Thair Nhua (New West Ulster). His son Seán is the current Monarch. Seán III is the 9th Great Grandson of Domhnáill I. By estimation when Seán III succeeds his father as King of the Ó Catháin he shall be the 38th man to hold said title.
The Monarch
The Monarchy is the traditional head of state. The monarch must be a member of the House of Ó Catháin. In all normal circumstances the monarch will be a man, yet only if there is no male heir, or the male heir is under the age of sixteen years may a woman take the throne, either as Regent or full Queen. The present monarch is Seán III. He directly rules over the Ríocht, taking the place of his father Tómás II who has retained the position of head of the House of Ó Catháin along with all Irish titles held by the Head of the House.
The Archduke of Noamh Séamus
The title of Archduke of Noamh Séamus is given to the heir to the throne upon his sixteenth birthday. It is the highest ducal title that can be given within the Ríocht. The last Archduke was Seán mac Tómás Micháel Pádraig II Diarmuid Ó Catháin, now King Seán III, who also holds the title of Ard Tánsaite (High Prince) of Clan Ó Catháin. The Archduke is the ruler of the Archduchy of Noamh Séamus, the location of a number of major royal ministries and palaces. He rules from the Ard Tánsaitry, at present a set of apartments within the grounds of the Eastát Rígh na hCluain Sharoise (Royal Estate of Cluain Sharoise.)
The Clans
The Nobility of the Ríocht is made of a number of Clans. Each clan is led by a Taoiseach (Clan Chief) who may sit in the Teach na dTiarnaí as one of the Lords Temporal. Depending on the status of the clan it's Taoiseach may hold any title from Barún (Baron) of a Village or Borough, to Cúnt (Count) of one of the Counties, to Diúc (Duke) of a Duchy. In a number of clans there may be numerous Clan leaders sitting within the Tiarnaí. In this case the Taoiseach would hold the title of Diúc, with lesser Clan nobles being referred to by lesser titles and having lesser lands.
The Clan Conchobhair has held the crown since the foundation of the modern Kingdom of Coleraine. It's ruling house, the House of Ó Catháin, was also the reigning house of Coleraine until the Edict of Clonrise, when King Seán Amádeus created the House of Amádeus-Ó Catháin.
The Parliament is divided into three chambers. The uppermost chamber is the Teach na dTiarnaí, House of Lords. This chamber is comprised of those Clan Chiefs which rule the Ríocht and the Catholic Bishops who preside over dioceses in the Ríocht. The middle chamber is the Teach na dUaslathaí, the House of Landsmen. This chamber is comprised of those elected land owners who dwell within the Ríocht. It is akin to the American Senate. The lowest house is the Teach na dDáil, House of Commons. This chamber is comprised of those of the working classes who are elected by the citizenry from the differing lands within the Ríocht. This chamber is divided into Members Urban and Members Rural.
The Tiarnaí is led by the Lord High Chancellor, who also serves as Prime Minister and the voice of the Tiarnaí to the King. The Uaslathaí is headed by the High Chancellor of the Landowners, who serves as voice of the Uaslathaí to the King. The Dáil is headed by the High Chancellor of the Commons, who serves as the voice of the Dáil to the King. Parliament is led by HRH the Archduke of Noamh Séamus.
The Parliament is modelled off of the British Parliament and the Estates General of Frances. It uses the Westminster system to an extent.
Little has changed in the political structure of the Ríocht since it's predecessor realms in Ireland fell. The current language of the state is Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge). Gaeilge is currently spoken by a mere 40% of the population. An up and coming language, Úndömïnflëúr is the official language of common legal procedure. Úndömïnflëúr is used rather than Irish because of it's close nature to English. The third language is Latin, spoken by a mere 20% of the population is the official language of all religious proceedings. It is the official language of the Roman Catholic Church, which is at present the officially supported State Religion. English itself has no state recognition. Despite this it is the most common language, being spoken by 100% of the population in some form.
As of 23rd March 2009, due to a number of citizens speaking French as their first language, French shall be recognised as an official language of the realm. It shall have the same position as Úndömïnflëúr when it comes to state affairs.
The Monarch is officially known by his name in the various tongues of the realm:
- Seán Amádeus (Gaeilge)
- Sëán Ämádëús (Úndömïnflëúr)
- Ioannes Amadeus (Latina)
- Jean-Amadieu (Français)
- Ioan Amâdeus (Cymraeg)
- Seán Amadeus (English)
The Roman Catholic Church
There is no divide between Church and State. The Roman Catholic Church is the official state religion. The Bishops of those dioceses within the realm also hold seats in the Tiarnaí. The Colerain Kings are anointed under God.
Order of Precedence of Bishops
I. The Cardinal Archbishop of Armagh, Primate of All Ireland (Since 439)
II. The Cardinal Archbishop of Chicago (Since 1914)
III. The Archbishop of Kansas City in Kansas (Since 2007)
IV. The Bishop of Kansas City-St Joseph (Since 1999)
The Dukes of Coleraine are the highest ranking sub-regal officials. The highest ranking Duke is the Archduke of Noamh Séamus. Dukes are heads of their constituency installed by the King. Duchies have laws and governments of their own but they cannot act as their own independent nation. The Duke acts alongside the Bishop of the Diocese whose boundaries are equal to that of said Duchy. They both hod seats in the House of Lords as representatives of their Duchy/Diocese.
The Duchies are constitutional governments, having their own parliaments, and sub-constituencies. Each duchy is divided into Baronies, each barony making up of a village if in a rural or suburban area or borough if in an urban area. The baronies themselves are co-governed by a Baron and a local Parish Priest. The individual Baronies are themselves divided into estates, each run by a Knight of the realm. Beneath these Knights are the common citizens.
Those territories controlled by Coleraine that are not a part of any Duchy are run directly by the Monarchy, ruled by one of the princes of the realm or else by the King himself. Territories occupied in times of war are ruled by the military.

The Counts of Coleraine are the second-highest ranking sub-regal officials. Counts are heads of their constituency installed by the King. Counties have laws and governments of their own but they cannot act as their own independent nation. The Count acts alongside the Vicar of the collection of parishes of the local Vicarage whose boundaries are equal to that of said County. They both hold seats in the House of Lords as representatives of their County/Vicarage.
The Counties are constitutional governments, having their own parliaments, and sub-constituencies. Each County is divided into Baronies, each barony making up of a village if in a rural or suburban area or borough if in an urban area. The baronies themselves are co-governed by a Baron and a local Parish Priest. The individual Baronies are themselves divided into manours, each run by a Knight of the realm. Beneath these Knights are the common citizens.
Those territories controlled by Coleraine that are not a part of any County are run directly by the Monarchy, ruled by one of the princes of the realm or else by the King himself. Territories occupied in times of war are ruled by the military.
List of those Counties Organised which are a part of the Kingdom of Coleraine

The Royal Post is the main postal carrier of the realm. It is a department of the Home Office, which manages all domestic affairs, in contrast to the Foreign Office which manages all foreign affairs. The post is also responsible for the creation of the Post Code system.
Post Code System
The Post Code system is an alphanumerical system created for sorting mail. It was modelled after the British postcode system. The post code is between six to seven characters in length, representing the County, Village, and Clochán of the address to which the letter is being sent. The county is represented by the first three letters, or outward section of the code an example being:
NSA for Noushea
The Clochán, a subdistrict of the village, is then represented by a number at the head of the inward section of the code. This is followed by two letters denoting the village itself, an example being:
1TT for Nousheamus, Termontrinity
The entire code therefore would be NSA 1TT for Nousheamus, Termontrinity, Noushea.
The Royal Post prefers for letters to be addressed as such, with the village or borough and county captilised:
Name of Addressee
Building (If applicable)
Post Code
When filled in it would look as such:
Archduke of Noamh Séamus
Ioannes Amadeus Straid
The main subdivisions within the realm are as follows:
Duchies are the equalivient to Provinces. Co-ruled by a Duke and a Catholic Bishop.
- Counties are a group of villages combined under the rule of a Count and a Priest appointed by the Bishop.
- Baronies are the villages (rural) or Boroughs (Urban), ruled by a Baron and the local Parish Priest.
NOTE to be named a village, a settlement must have a Catholic Parish within it's boundaries.- Manours are the districts of the village, ruled by a Knight of the Realm.
- Baronies are the villages (rural) or Boroughs (Urban), ruled by a Baron and the local Parish Priest.
The addresses of major locations within the Government and Church are as follows:
The Palace of Cluain Sharoise
Royal Straid
The Ecclesiastical Palace
Royal Straid
The Ardtainstry
Ioannes Amadeus Straid
The Houses of Parliament
Palace of Saint Thomas More

The Michigan State football team received a verbal commitment from a top Ohio offensive lineman in the class of 2012 on Saturday and are looking to add a running from the same school in the class of 2013.
The Spartans secured a commitment from one of the top guards in the state of Ohio in Zach Higgins of Marlington, Ohio, a suburb of Akron.
Higgins stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 305 pounds. Higgins runs a 5.4 40-yard dash and has a 365-pound bench press to his credit. Higgins chose the Spartans over offers from Northwestern, Iowa State, West Virginia and Cincinnati.
Michigan State is not done recruiting in Marlington as the Spartans have offered Marlington sophomore running back Dymonte Thomas. Thomas (6-1, 175) is one of the top sophomore running backs in the state of Ohio and is also a punishing hitter on defense.

Hackerman gives $2M for family center at Anne Arundel Medical
- Sarah Gantz
- Reporter- Baltimore Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Families of critical care patients at Anne Arundel Medical Center will no longer have to choose between a few winks of sleep in a hotel bed or being within reach of their ailing relatives.
The medical center broke ground in early April on the most recent lodging center for patients' families to spring up on Baltimore-area hospital campuses with financial support from Whiting-Turner Co. President Willard Hackerman. He has helped fund similar centers at four other Baltimore-area hospitals, including one set to open at Saint Agnes Hospital in October.
The facility will serve as an alternative to hotels for families of very ill patients, allowing them to leave the hospital for some rest while still being within walking distance to their relative's bedside. The service is a valuable one for families of patients whose health is in such jeopardy that the relatives fear the worst will happen while they are away.
"You're just not sure what's going to happen," said Carolyn Core, the medical center's vice president for corporate services. "Even going to a hotel that's reasonably close — you just don't want to leave the hospital."
Families supporting patients of the hospital's oncology, cancer and neonatal intensive care departments could benefit the most from the lodging center, Core said. For that reason, the center will be located across the street from the medical center buildings that house those departments.
The $3 million, 21,000-square-foot facility will feature 20 rooms — each with two beds and a pullout couch — three multipurpose rooms and a basic kitchen with a microwave and refrigerator. The center is expected to open early next year.
The facility will be named the Hackerman-Patz House at AAMC, in honor of Hackerman, who donated $2 million for the project. The centers at Saint Agnes, St. Joseph Medical Center, Sinai Hospital and Johns Hopkins also bear his name.
AAMC will pay for the remainder of the cost through its capital budget.
Elsewhere on the medical center campus, construction is under way for rooms to house 30 beds for acute care patients. One of the hospital's newer buildings, the South Tower, included a shell for 30 additional beds, which is now being completed. The extra beds are necessary to accommodate a growing patient base.
Construction began this year and should be completed by Labor Day, Core said.

The wake-up call comes about 6:30 a.m. for Daakarr Bellfield and 14 basketball teammates at Central Lakes College in Brainerd.
Three weeks into the fall semester, a month before practice starts.
They have everything but time to lose. They'd much rather win.
Bellfield drags his 6-foot, 5-inch torso from bed. With a grimace, his first stretch of the day signals the shaping of success. It's a small indicator blending with new indicators every morning as young muscles redefine the formation of a better-built body.
"We're getting there," he says to emerging biceps.
Thirty minutes later, in the college weight room, he's feeding those biceps a breakfast of tension, compressing ounces of mental concentration into waiting sinews of blood and rivets of energy. He's investing in newfound strength for long-term gain.
He looks like he might be enjoying the makeover. Time -- and the scoreboard and the grade book -- will tell.
Two years ago Bellfield and four fellow Raiders got a wake-up call, when they were declared ineligible as the second semester began. The news dashed Coach Jim Russell's hopes for a potential championship season. Raw talent there was; academic discipline there wasn't.
"This year our theme is, 'We're taking care of business'," said Russell ahead of his sixth season as men's basketball coach. "It means we're focused on retention to stay eligible and keep our athletes in school."
Time management is essential, Russell stressed. "From the first day of fall classes (Aug. 26) our guys are lifting weights and doing other conditioning from 7 to 8 a.m., Monday through Thursday. Each night from six to eight they're in a study group. From nine to 10 they're usually playing ball in the gym."
Basketballs bounced at CLC even before the academic year began, as team candidates took advantage of an open gym nicely warmed to facilitate sweat-drenched workouts. They organized themselves, knowing from letters Russell had sent early in the summer that his expectations could be a challenge.
"It's up to them," Russell said. "They'll develop a chemistry without any coaching. Leaders will emerge and help others get going, to make each other work out and share in the work ethic."
Russell said that in successful basketball programs -- including those like CLC that don't offer athletic scholarships -- developing a "family" relationship is paramount. Beyond the short-term gain of outscoring opponents and passing college exams, the members of this family are likely to gain lifelong qualities that otherwise elude the unworthy.
The athletic program has fostered study groups, but staff didn't always monitor the athletes. They'd be in different classrooms. Team captains were responsible. "We needed more consistency," said Russell.
The only designated 2002-2003 captain so far has set an example for academic success. Despite not being able to work out with the team, Justin Heitkamp of Brainerd "takes care of business off the court," said his coach, noting the sophomore's 3.8 grade-point average.
In the fall honor student Heitkamp lofts a much different ball toward its own distinct destination.
"He's our top golfer," said Russell, who coaches men's and women's golf. "He understands the game of basketball so well," he won't miss a beat come Oct. 15 when basketball practice officially begins.
The stepped-up retention effort gets a boost from two assistant basketball coaches, Chris Costello and Nate Hanson, both volunteers.
Costello is employed in the Academic Center for Enrichment, a college support service providing tutors, study groups and computer help. He has coached Amateur Athletic Union basketball teams and is earning a master's degree from St. Cloud State University en route to a head coaching position. Hanson is an elementary teacher in Brainerd.
Until Oct. 15 only four players are allowed to interact with a coach when basketballs are present and that interaction can't exceed eight hours per week. "We have been more focused on providing conditioning tips and coaching them academically," Russell said.
"We are all here to help, and that means everyone on this campus," he said. "The people in Registration, Financial Aid, Admissions, they make sure the paperwork gets done. In the ACE students know they can get help."
Student athletes such as Bellfield of Minneapolis, Daryl Burch of St. Paul and Tony Monson of White Bear Lake face many of the same hurdles as other non-commuting CLC students. They must find a place to live. Russell said community contacts from the Brainerd Sports Boosters and other friends of the college create comfort out of chaos when they assist with the hunt for housing.
"If these students are comfortable they'll stay," Russell said. "In the last few years we've had lots of feedback from the little things we do as a team, such as giving basketball clinics, going to elementary schools, reading to kids, doing things at the Confidence Learning Center."
Such community service tells the public something about priorities and realities. "We're providing these athletes the opportunity," Russell said. "If they use it they'll succeed."

I was born in Brooklyn and grew up in Great Neck on Long Island. I studied math at college and worked mainly in education before turning to fiction writing, though I always wrote stories since I was a kid and all through college and beyond. I have helped to run an elementary afterschool, tutored students who couldn't attend school, and developed curricula for a nonprofit in Chicago that helps city kids attend college. I also spent a year as a volunteer teacher in Haiti. I love to travel and hike, and have spent a lot of time in East Asia and India. In the States, I've traveled a lot too, and lived over the years on both coasts plus New Orleans and Chicago. I love seeing animals in the wild and once saw a wild elephant swim across a lake! Nowadays I live in the third district of Vienna, Austria, with my wife who is Austrian. I'm at work on my third and fourth novels for children ages 8 and up. I also do storytime for younger kids at the local library and occasionally I run a workshop with four or five kids who are very interested in writing stories. I'm happy if kids enjoy my books and was thrilled when my first book, The Witch's Guide to Cooking with Children, was named a 2010 ALA Notable Children's Recording, a 2011 Texas Bluebonnet book, and was nominated by Hawai'i librarians for the 2012 Nēnē Award. In 2010, I had the incredible luck to be picked for the Thurber House residency, given to one children's book author each year in honor of American author and humorist James Thurber. I got to spend a month in James Thurber's boyhood home and wrote the Valentine's card part of my second children's novel, The Witch's Curse, while there. Thanks Thurber House! When I was there I did a thirty minute interview which aired on Ohio NPR and on local cable. You can watch it here (skip to 11 minutes into the interview for a discussion of The Witch's Guide to Cooking with Children). Thanks so much for visiting my website. I hope it has all the info you're looking for. You can write me anytime or put yourself on my list for news on my new books and similar by emailing readers (at) keithbooks.com. |

I would say that it's mostly design and good coding (compliant with WP standards). Numbers 2,3 and 4 can help sales, but they are not mandatory for theme approval. And yes, new authors are still showing every day.
Good luck!
Here's a list of the previous bundles: http://envatobundles.com/
I don't agree with everything that has been said here. I released a file 4 weeks ago and the exposure was good. I think that on the last 6 weeks exposure was really good when compared to the last 6 months.
Nevertheless, this week booom!!! A lot of files have been approved and I would be really frustrated if my file was accepted yesterday for instance. I also agree that there are some files that maybe should not have been accepted, but it is surely hard to filter everything. This applies specially when subjective matters like design are the only things that prevent a theme from being approved…
I also agree that there's room for improvement on various aspects like homepage layout/options, recent popular items list, etc… But, honestly, from what I see on Themeforest, the only disrespect for authors is when a file gets disabled without prior notice and even without testing what some buyer stated.
All in all, it's up to us to deal with the current market state and make our files stand out from the crowd. Fingers crossed anyway for eventual marketplace improvements
I don't have any, but I know someone who's really happy with Vanilla: http://vanillaforums.org/
I'm not sure if this is just a "regular" ticket system…
imangm saidThese things sometimes happen just because your file was featured/advertised elsewhere. There are actually some websites that bring good traffic to us

I'm here on themeforest 2 years with total >1200 sales. I can tell you there is difference between summer and autumn, between you are featured or no… and bundle period or regular week.You man just one of the luckiest here – that's it I think only some few authors maybe so lucky having 1 item and already featured.
Anyways, this month is the best so farNo doubt that I'm one of the luckiest authors around
One thing that I've learnt yesterday was that you are able to sell good on ThemeForest if you are not on the front page and the bundles are running too. I was surprised to see after being on the front page for 4 weeks, my best selling day was yesterday that I was out of it…
Anyway I have to learn so much other things yet
ChapterThemes saidNo, no… He was just congratulating him for knowing how to open a thread
themewaves saidLOL have you read his question? He's not already getting featured you know. This smells like a no-brainer GLWS comment haha
uouapps said318… One of them it's you
HI Everyone, curious to get an idea of how many followers do you have on Envato ?
Tsoy saidIt wasn't me, but let me just add this: if this thread is removed again you should contact Envato support about this instead of opening another thread. If you are good with this thread like you said, Envato staff will unflag your original post.
Okay thats happens again. Can flagmaker write reason why hes made a report?
Ok, so no one is going to flag your post and this will be the your last thread. Good luck with it
I'm sorry, but this is becoming annoying. You open this thread every single day… Don't take this personally, but is this even allowed?
