While official tracking events around Charlotte focused on the TV, this presidential watch party was more like a, well, party. The Historic Excelsior Club on Tuesday night lived up to its reputation as a social and political meeting place for African Americans.
The televisions (tuned to MSNBC) acted as background noise, with some in the standing-room crowd leaning in close to hear results slowly trickle in but most heading to the dance floor or moving in place as Fly Ty of 105.3 played the classics. When the Al Green staple "Let's Stay Together" filled the air, some of the patrons tried to sing a few notes, though none matched President Obama's own sampling of a few bars.
Four years ago, election night at the Excelsior was a scene of exhilaration and excitement. America elected its first black president, and the club's owner, civil rights attorney James Ferguson II, paid tribute to pioneering politicians — from Harvey Gantt to Congressman Mel Watt - who had come to share the moment.
This time around, the club watched early results with anxious confidence. Vindication spread over the crowd when the president's second-term victory was called. "That's the beauty of it," Ferguson told me. "Before long, a lot of the haters are going to come around and admit that an African-American president can serve two terms and do a great job."
There was a feeling in the room that President Barack Obama might finally get the respect he has earned.
"It's a great thing to celebrate for the second time," Fly Ty said during a break. "As much as we advance, racism is still out there," he said, citing the obstruction that met Obama's attempts at bipartisanship. "It's very sad in this day and time." He predicted a "no-holds-barred" second term. The president, he said, "is going to go all out and make an impact."
Francis Pendergrass, 57, of Charlotte, called Obama "a man of character. He cares about people." He dismissed the talk before the election that the president's support of same-sex marriage would cost him the votes of black religious conservatives. "I don't want to tell people what they can do."
Local and state officials who won their races stopped in, and Mayor Pro Tem and city councilman Pat Cannon gave regular updates to the crowd. While he celebrated Obama's win, N.C. Rep. Rodney Moore lamented the "trifecta" that put Republican Pat McCrory in the governor's seat and retained GOP majorities in both houses of the General Assembly. Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue vetoed a bill passed last session that would enact voter-ID legislation in North Carolina, and Moore said if Republicans resurrect it, "We're going to block it, even if we have to go to court to do it."
But before the political fights begin, Tuesday night at the Excelsior was a chance to, as the Kool & the Gang song rang out, "Celebrate." Earnestine Kasey of Charlotte said, "I am feeling so much joy." Kasey, 55, who lost her job, said she plans to go back to school and open up her own business in interior design and insurance ("I can decorate your home and insure it"). She's positive, though, and "so glad to be in his history."
That's Obama's history.

The monolithic support President Obama enjoys from the black community indicates that there is virtually no dialog going on about how his economic policies are really affecting them. The National Bureau of Economic Research reports show that the socio-economic stats for many blacks are worse now than 4 years ago. President Obama's Keynesian demand side policies have failed utterly and he admitted it half jokingly when he said, "I guess those shovel ready jobs weren't so shovel ready." This president's "rob Peter to pay Paul" economic policies have weakened the country's economic viability and 4 more years of the same do not bode well for plight of some his most loyal admirers, notwithstanding the rest of us.
At some point the black community should judge the president on his record...not on personal regard. Sorry...it isn't racist in the least to point that out.
I have to hand it to Tony. When life gives you sour grapes make whine.
African Americans support the President's economic policies because they benefit from those policies, as do all Americans. Obama's policies have been successful, as the rescue of GM clearly shows. Congressional Budget Office reports show that the stimulus increased both GDP and employment.
The President's stimulus plan averted a far greater economic catastrophe - a catastrophe brought on by Conservative policy which favors tax cuts for the wealthiest sector who do not contribute to economic growth and massive deregulation of a reckless and criminal financial industry which drove the economy over the cliff. Obama's stimulus plan would have been even more effective if had been larger, but such a plan was continuously rebuffed by an obstructionist Republican controlled House of Representatives.
Moving forward to the fiscal cliff, which is actually a slope because the expiration of the Bush tax cuts as well as spending cuts that include the military roll out over time, all the President has to do is offer a sensible economic plan that includes tax increases and spending cuts. He has already made similar proposals that have been shot down by Congress, so there's no reason to believe that the Republicans will not block him again.
If that's the case, the President can use the bully pulpit to paint the Republicans into a corner. House Conservatives can either play ball, or face a drubbing in 2014. Obama holds all the cards. Sure, Republicans can claim that the President needs to move to the center, but Obama is the center, as the last election clearly proves.
With all due respect Pat, whining? More like lament for irony and the end of the country. On the other hand your comments sound like the opinions of someone who has spent too much time in Obama's Choom Room.
Obama's grandiloquence about "freedom," "fairness," and "opportunity" sound nice but his actions reveal a very strong streak of antipathy for those terms, the private sector and for democracy itself when it proves inconvenient. His economic policies are hardly grounded in empirical economic theory, let alone to be defended with strong empirical facts and the last 4 years prove it. It can only be said that a puddle is a lake by looking at it through the end of a narrow tube.
If you are a racketeer and a thief you might appreciate the political values behind the auto bailouts. Without Congressional approval or proper debate Obama just "took" 85 billion dollars of the taxpayer's money, that's 1 million a day, every day for 232 years. He took money that was legislatively earmarked for financial companies at risk under TARP and gave it to Chrysler and GM. Then he gave them massive tax credits that allow them to avoid paying their "fair share" of taxes for years to come. What company wouldn't look successful 3 years later in the state of Ohio after that kind of windfall? And you point fingers at Republican tax cuts? That's what you call 24k hypocrisy.
To date the American people have lost 30 percent or about 25 billion on the investment. Shareholders, creditors, and non-union retirees lost all their assets. Tens of thousands of non-unionized salespeople, mechanics, managers, etc., lost their jobs when hundreds of showrooms were forced to close…but the sweetheart deal took very good care of Obama's politically favored cronies in the UAW. All-in-all, it was a small price to pay to be able to campaign in Ohio on "saving" the auto industry. Était-ce pas ?
President Obama bought an election by means of the most egregious violation of contract law and property rights in American history and he subverted democracy doing it by using taxpayer money. Apparently, a lot of people are ok with that and they will get the government they deserve.
Even though there is immense pride in the black community over the first black president, and rightly so, his policies haven't staunched their disproportionate loss of income, employment, or net worth. Four more years of constitutional lawlessness and graft gift wrapped in moralizing language to justify it won't improve the plight of the underprivileged but it will eventually make us all indigents at the hands of the state. The seeds of first financial collapse took 30 years to come to fruition because liberals in government decreed everyone should have a house…the next collapse will come quick, sudden and will be worse.
"their disproportionate loss of income, employment, or net worth"
But the other team was promising to turn Medicare into a voucher system, dump Medicaid back onto the states, and change future Social Security benefits, which they like to call "entitlements" because it sounds more derogatory.
If you were struggling to live paycheck to paycheck, which team would get your vote?

Militant labor group withdraws support for troubled left-wing party
The head of Korea's militant trade union said Tuesday his union has withdrawn support from a left-wing political party mired in infighting over alleged primary fraud.
"It is impossible for the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions to continue to support the Unified Progressive Party," Kim Young-hoon, president of the labor umbrella group, in an interview on local radio. The trade union forged an alliance with the UPP and its predecessor in previous elections in an apparent bid to boost their chances of winning elections. Kim said recent violent clashes between the party's rival factions at the UPP's central committee conference have raised a fundamental question over whether the party plays its political role. However, he suggested his union members would not bolt from the party en masse. The trade union is a key backbone of the five-month-old party as some 35,000 union members have voting rights in the party, accounting for 46 percent of party officials who are eligible to vote in the party's internal elections. The union boasts about 700,000 members who work in vehicle plants, shipyards, subways and other public transportation systems, according to union spokesman Park Song-shik. Kim's comment came a day after a non-mainstream faction set up an interim emergency committee to reform the minor party torn apart by the primary fraud. The move triggered a strong protest from a mainstream faction loyal to the East Gyeonggi Coalition, an alleged pro-North Korean bloc that some say was dissolved a decade ago. The factional division has deepened since earlier this month when the party announced after an internal investigation that its primary to select the party's proportional representation candidates for the April 11 elections had been rigged. Seven UPP candidates were elected through direct elections and six others won parliamentary seats under the proportional representation system, which allocates seats to parties according to the numbers of votes they receive. The UPP, which was created just five months ago, has become the third-largest party in the 300-seat National Assembly. (Yonhap) |

The Sun Devils have been doing exceptionally well this summer, especially with Team USA.
What was the best game? What was the biggest surprise? Who is our Player of the Year? Find out here.
The Sun Devil ace is headed for a career in the big leagues.
Ryan Kellogg put forth a valiant effort, but the Sun Devil bats failed to pick him up.
Excellent defensive plays and James McDonald's two-run homer guided ASU to a win 4-3 over New Mexico.
Your full preview of Arizona State's weekend regional in Fullerton, California.
The Arizona State Sun Devils were selected to play in the Cal State Fullerton regional as the No. 2 seed. Arizona State opens up against New Mexico on Friday.
The Sun Devils could use a Pac-12 series win before NCAA play begins with a good chance to host the NCAA Regionals.
There were few words to be found from ASU fans following Sunday's devastating series-sealing defeat to the Wildcats. So since sentences are hard to come by, we decided to play the numbers game.
Whichever team, ASU or UofA, takes two of the three games on the diamond this weekend will claim the prized trophy.
Kasey Coffman had a phenomenal night at the plate and James McDonald secured the victory for the maroon and gold.
With the Sun Devils bats #EnFuego, it's time for the pitching to turn things around against Cal.
The Sun Devils pitching did not perform nearly as well as they are used to, but should fans begin to panic about the remainder of this season?
Mark Appel was the star of the night as he tossed 7.2 innings and 13 strikeouts in route to his eighth win on the year.
The Stanford Cardinal head to Tempe this weekend in an attempt to slow down the red hot Sun Devils.
The good: Trevor Williams made the Golden Spikes Award Watch List Thursday. The bad: Ryan Kellogg somehow did not.
Two of the top pitchers in the country will take the hill on Friday night at Packard Stadium as Mark Appel and Trevor Williams face off.
Drew Stankiewicz has been a Sun Devil a lot longer than the two years he has been on campus. The Gilbert High School product has gone from Sun Devil bat boy to Sun Devil starting shortstop.
The Sun Devil bullpen does not have any favors as ASU loses 10-9.
Arizona State has won five of their six mid-week games and the Sun Devils will look to continue their success against a red-hot Wildcats team.
Arizona State needs to figure out its weekend rotation quickly before things get out of hand. McCreery has not been the answer to Sun Devils' prayers thus far this season.
Get to know Arizona State shortstop Drew Stankiewicz
The Sun Devils were able to hold off an Oregon rally to defeat the Ducks for the second straight night.
The Sun Devils beat the first place Oregon Ducks on a walk-off base bit by freshman R.J. Ybarra.
The Sun Devils face one of the best teams in the Pac-12 in the Oregon Ducks this weekend at Packard.

- Cuisines: Mediterranean
NileGuide Expert Says:
Relaxed but sophisticated atmosphere, modern menu in unsurpassed seaside location; if there's only two of you, wait until a small oval table becomes vacant (they all have prime position) and bask in what Sydney does best.
- At lunchtime, on a good weather day, sitting at a front table, perhaps sipping a glass of Pink Claw rose, after ordering fillets of school whiting and salt cod brandade, and the tangy sea breeze wafts off Middle Harbor through the full-length louver windows, you can see out across the sand, past families frolicking in the Balmoral shallows and through the frayed shark proof netting all the way to New Zealand. Well, almost.
The Bathers' Pavilion Cafe (not to be confused with it's more grown-up 'restaurant' sibling next door) inspires such wistful, relaxing, laid-back longing. Just rinse the salt water off at the outdoor showers, slip on your casual gear and sit right down; at a cute oval table, on a padded wooden bench, in a sumptuous leather booth, or in the Red Room (more later).
Service is brisk (but you really don't mind if it's not), the Mediterranean inspired food is fresh and changes regularly with the seasons, and it's open from 7am every day. It's especially kid-friendly too; there's even a children's rest room where everything is miniature (like stepping into a doll's house).
But for something different, find space in the Red Room at the far end of the cafe. A bench full of Kilm cushions, cane/leather furniture, little round pressed-metal tables, and bright rugs give the space a real Moroccan feel; perfect for afternoon coffee or after dinner desserts.
To be sure, with one of world's glorious harbors in the heart of your city, there are heaps of waterside eateries to choose from. But this is still one of the best. - © NileGuide2013

Part of the Lenovo G-Series line, the Lenovo G570 is a budget-priced 15.6-inch notebook made for consumer general use. Check out our full review to see how this notebook has improved from the last generation and if it can land a spot in your household.
Our Lenovo G570 review unit has the following specifications:
Our review unit is built for general use computing, but the Intel Core i5 dual-core processor and 4GB of system memory should work well with multitasking. This system will not, however, be able to run most major 3D games without flaw because of the Intel integrated graphics card, the HD graphics 3000. Other upgrade options upon first customization include 750GB capacity hard drive at 5400rpm, 8GB RAM (1333MHz), and a Blu-ray/DVD combo.
Build and Design
The G570's outer build does not differ that much from its prior model, the G560. The G570 has a simplistic design, glossy plastics on the display lid with molded plastics throughout, and brushed aluminum across the entire top of the chassis around the keyboard. With the Li-ion battery, this unit weighs in at just under 6 pounds and measures in at about 1.5" thick, making it doable for light travel.
Even though it is made almost entirely of plastic material, the overall build quality feels very good and considerably solid. There is minimal flex when pushing down on the palmrests, but due to the brushed aluminum it is not significant; the aluminum also helps to keep this area where your palms and hands will rest stay cool even when the notebook is under exertion. The notebook is not, however, as durable as it could be thanks to the plastic build. The bottom plastic panels will hold up fine on your desk if you aren't a frequent traveler.
The chassis itself is solid; when a lot tension is applied to the keyboard there is only minimal flex. Typing with heavy pressure should not cause any problems as far as chassis flex or "bounce" is concerned.
Because of its glossiness, the dark lid will inherently collect fingerprints, dust, grime, and so forth, so be aware that this notebook may be high maintenance. The glossy lid does add a touch of style, however, to an otherwise simple design. The lid also flexes easily when any amount of pressure is applied and when bending it inward at the corners, so much so that ripples did appear on the LCD display. Overall, the build quality is good; my only complaint is the average build quality of the glossy lid.
Ports and Features
The port selection has not changed much since the G560. There is no longer an ExpressCard/34 slot, and there are two more USB 2.0 ports. The overall selection is very good for an entry-level/general use notebook. Notably, there is an HDMI port for hooking the system up to an HDTV, plenty of USB ports (although no USB 3.0), a media card reader, and VGA.
Front: wireless on/off switch, status lights, media card reader (MMC/MS/MS Pro/SD/xD)
Left: Kensington lock slot, exhaust vent, VGA, Ethernet, HDMI, USB/eSATA, USB 2.0 x2
Right: headphone and microphone jacks, DVD multi/CD RW optical drive, USB 2.0, A/C adapter slot

Department of Employment and Labor Relations
The ELR Department is currently recruiting students for the IUP campus in Monroeville, Pa.
Informational sessions will be held at the Monroeville campus for interested applicants.
IUP's highly successful graduate program in Employment and Labor Relations (ELR) is offered at the Monroeville campus. This program has a 30-plus-year history of preparing professionals for careers in employment relations in various settings, including but not limited to public and private management settings, union organizations, government agencies, and neutral and service organizations. The Master of Arts (M.A.) degree is a 36-credit program offered in a cohort format specifically designed for working professionals who desire to upgrade their employment skills, seek career changes, or enhance their promotion possibilities. This degree is highly useful to participants because it combines theoretical preparation with practical field application.
The 36-credit cohort format is structured in a way that allows students to complete the program in two years by taking two courses per semester. Coursework will be offered one evening per week (typically Mondays or Wednesdays) from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. during the Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters, with the second section offered online. (Note: Generous summer and winter vacation periods are scheduled into the program.) This program utilizes a cohort format, meaning that students begin the program as a restricted group and complete all of the required coursework together as a restricted group. This educational model encourages networking and enhances learning opportunities for participants.
Course offerings include: Employee Rights under Law, Theories of the Labor Movement, Dispute Settlement, Research Methods in ELR, Discrimination in Employment, Processes of Collective Bargaining, Compensation and Benefits Administration, Conflict Resolution, and other selected electives.
Applicants must meet the minimum requirements for admission to the IUP School of Graduate Study and Research.
The 24 students of Cohort I who began in January 1997 completed their program at the Monroeville Graduate and Professional Center and graduated in December 1998. Cohort II began in January 1999 at Monroeville and graduated in December 2000. Cohort III began in January 2001 at Monroeville and graduated in December 2002. Cohort IV began in January 2005 and completed the program at IUP's Northpointe campus, located at the Slate Lick exit of Route 28, thirty miles north of Pittsburgh. Cohort V moved back to Monroeville and graduated in August 2009.
*Required and elective course descriptions can be viewed in the Graduate Catalog.
For information about the cohort program, including scheduled informational sessions, contact ELR Chair Dr. David Piper at 724-357-4471 and email@example.com, or Cohort Recruitment Coordinator Dr. Michael Korns at 724-357-4424 and email@example.com.

A first-round pick out of Illinois in 2003, Cook played for the Lakers from 2003-08. He returned to L.A. in 2010 and played two season for the Clippers.

There were a few hecklers as he checked into Tuesday night's preseason game against his old team. Then the veteran big man took advantage of the homecoming.
"I always love playing in this place," he said after scoring a team-high 18 points. "I played most of my career here. With the Lakers, they've always got a target on their back."
The Jazz are carrying 19 players right now but will have to cut that down to at least 15 before the end of the month. Cook made it all the way to Oct. 31 last year with the Wizards before being waived.
"I'm just trying to stay even keeled right now and show that I can still play at 32," he said.
It's a little unusual for the Jazz to still be carrying so many players at this point in the preseason. But the Jazz are dealing with injuries and are still working to figure out a young team.
Coach Ty Corbin said there are positions still up for grabs.
"As a player, if I'm still in a place I always think there's time to impress or hurt what I've built up," he said Wednesday morning at shootaround. "So guys have to stay focused on playing and playing effectively for us because we do have spots."
Cook, who had previously had a preseason high of 5 points, said the extra minutes he got Wednesday helped him find a rhythm and not worry about missing shots. He fired up nine 3-pointers, hitting three of them over 20 minutes last night.
The Jazz have used big men with range in the past and Cook sees a fit in Utah.
"This is a great offense for that," he said. "They runt he splits on the offensive end and we've got good guards that take a lot of attention away. … We'll have to see."

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. — Sensa Products on Wednesday announced the expansion of its product line with Sensa For Men exclusively through GNC.
According to the company, studies have shown that women have a stronger sense of smell and taste than men. As the Sensa weight-loss system is based entirely on the senses of smell and taste, the Tastant technology has been customized to improve the efficacy for men and fit the needs of men's senses. Utilizing the patent-pending blend of Tastants, Sensa For Men contains slight variations in potency, allowing men the ability to achieve maximum results.
The product is used as a spice that should be spread evenly over the surface of a meal, using the labeled "salty" or "sweet" sides of the shaker to feel more satisfied and full faster when eating meals. "Scents have a profound impact on weight loss," stated Alan Hirsch, director of the Smell and Taste Research Center. "Since men and women smell differently, it was only natural to develop a Sensa weight-loss product specifically formulated for men."
In one of the largest clinical studies ever conducted with a nonprescription weight-loss product, 1,436 participants lost an average of 30.5 lbs. in six months without changing their existing diet or exercise program, the company stated.

- Indian Grand Prix - FP1
Vettel on top as Alonso has problem
Sebastian Vettel topped the opening practice session at the Indian Grand Prix as he set about his attempt to secure his fourth consecutive title this weekend.
The Red Bull driver was 0.118s clear of team-mate Mark Webber, with Nico Rosberg's Mercedes third fastest and 0.216s off the pace. Vettel's only remaining - and very distant - challenger for the title, Fernando Alonso, ended his session after six laps due to a gearbox problem. The issue occurred on the long straight to Turn 4 and he returned to the pits without changing gear again. The gearbox can be changed without penalty ahead of FP2 but it was another set-back Ferrari could have done without.
Romain Grosjean was fourth fastest and could be in the running again this weekend after his impressive display at Suzuka two weeks ago. He was 0.307s off Vettel and the highest-placed Lotus as Kimi Raikkonen appeared to be on a different running programme, two seconds off the pace.
Lewis Hamilton had a slow start to the session, completing the majority of his 21 laps in the final 20 minutes of the session. He also took a while to set a competitive time and locked his front brakes heading into Turn 1 on one attempt, forcing him to run wide and over the gravel. When he did set a representative lap time it was 0.544s off the pace.
McLaren's improved form continued on Friday morning, with Jenson Button just 0.652s off the pace in sixth palce and Sergio Perez 0.733s off the Red Bull. However, it will still be tough for either to break into the top six on race day without retirements ahead.
After a very quiet first 30 minutes, Perez was one of the first cars on track and had the circuit all to himself as other drivers waited for the dusty track conditions to improve. The action started to pick up in the final 40 minutes but conditions remained tricky, with Pastor Maldonado losing the rear of his Williams at Turn 5 and several drivers skipping the apex at the Turn 6 and 7 chicane.
James Calado, who was standing in for Paul di Resta in first practice, also had a spin and finished the session 18th and 2.5s off the pace. Di Resta, who was feeling unwell on Thursday according to the team, looked fully fit on Friday and will return to the cockpit for the second session.

To find the missing hiker, begin two miles west of the square?s southeastern corner and follow the route shown in the illustration at right. The total length of the route is about 29.31 miles, so the search party will detect the hiker?s signal in about 293 minutes.
This solution, proposed by Robert Dawson, is extremely clever. It is a variant of a 299.99-minute solution proposed by Erik and Martin Demaine of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. I asked them for help after I couldn't find a solution that was much better than 350 minutes.

"In the past minority discriminaton was real but those days are pretty much gone. Now most all employers understand only one color and that is green."
You are wrong. VERY WRONG in your assertion that racial discrimination towards blacks and other minorities is nonexistent.
Just ask the EEOC how many lawsuits they give the go ahead to proceed for racial discrimination in the South. It is MANY.
As a matter of fact, there has been an increase in racial discrimination towards blacks in corporate america since the President was elected.
In Corporate America, I have come to find, many white men are very arrogant and very cocky. They know that the power dynamics are greatly skewed in their favor. They know that the behavior which will not be tolerated in the streets is tolerated in corporate America.
Overt racism may be lower than previous but there is still overt racism. A black man was dragged in Texas just a few years ago and beheaded by white men. Several companies in Texas were sued for racial discrimination where they had nooses hanging up and swastikas all over everything.
A black man in Mississippi was run over two years ago by a group of white teens screaming "Let's go Kill a "N"! And they did.
There have been several suspicious deaths of blacks in Mississippi and even in Tennessee white skinheads were arrested by the Feds for plotting to murder blacks.
The list goes on and on and on and on.
As a matter of fact, racism is alive and well. It is just more systemic now than ever before.
I honestly can't believe you stated racism does not exist. Wow.
The sooner you come to grips with the fact that you cannot legislate how people think or feel the sooner you will realize the world as it actually exists.
You cannot force differing people into a mass and tell them to "get along" as history is replete with examples of this failing.
The biggest fallacy of the great melting pot is thinking oil and water can mix.
He11, look at the African continent, everybody is the same race yet they find reason to rape, pillage, and maim. Real important reasons like which village you're from or what well your water comes from.
Makes us look right civilized by comparison; we only don't promote or hire those we differ from. I suppose not getting promoted trumps losing an arm any day of the week...

New York is a paradise for walkers. Whether it is a guided walking tour or a walking tour of your own it is important to know the layout and the basic geography of the City.
Possible the most unique aspect of New York is that it exists as a series of five boroughs - Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. Each borough has its own specific set of cultural and social attractions, as well as its own history and conglomeration of diverse peoples, neighborhoods, and events.
Fifth Avenue divides the City between East and West. Street numbers begin at Fifth Avenue, as Two W. 57th Street is just a few steps to the west of Fifth Avenue while Two E.57th Street is just to the east.
Most streets in Manhattan are one-way. With a few exceptions, traffic on even-numbered streets travels east, and traffic on odd-numbered streets travel west. Traffic on major crosstown streets, including Canal, Houston, 14th, 23rd, 34th,42nd, 57th, 72nd, 79th and 86th streets travels in both directions.
To New Yorkers, "downtown" does not connote to the city center. Rather, "downtown" simply means "south" and "uptown" means "north".
One more word in favor of walking in New York is that streets are jammed and parking is scarce and astronomically expensive. So, if you have an idea to rent a car in New York City leave it. Otherwise, you have a wish to find yourself in a trap in one of the Streets and Avenues of the City.
I guess I have convinced you to give your preference to walking tour in New York City whether it is organized and guided or not. Among guided tours you may as paid ones as well as free.
Big Apple Greeter offers a two-to-four hour visit (group of six or less) with a real New Yorker. Greeters are real New Yorkers who provide an informal, exciting walking tour of New York as a free public service to travelers. You will learn ins and outs of the five boroughs. Travelers with disabilities and all languages welcome.
You may take the Grand Tour. Explore the architecture and social history of East 42nd Street with urban detective and historian Justin Ferate. Find out why Pershing Square is not a square; why The Chrysler Building is spiked; where Mercury, Hercules, and Minerva hang out; and where you can circle the globe in seconds. Discover the Bowery Savings Bank's bronze doors, the Chanin Building's Art Deco grilles, and the Mobil building's self-scouring skin. See familiar places through new eyes. Join in often; no two tours are exactly alike. Free walking tours leave from the Whitney Museum at Phillip Morris, 42nd Street at Park Avenue, on Fridays' afternoons.
Take a walk through history. Learn Stories behind the buildings and the buildings behind the stories. Discover why the Empire State Building is the perfect symbol for New Architecture and why luxury hotel was sacrificed for its construction. Learn the alleged military significance behind Mary Murray's tea party, and see McKim, Mead and White's designs helped define turn of the century New York. Learn the connection between Andy Warhol and Con Edison substation, and hear how the owner of the world's largest department store drowned on the Titanic.
Architectural historian, Francis Morrone and Architect Alan Neumann alternate as guided on free 90 minute tours of the 34th Street area. Meet at the 5th Avenue entrance of the Empire state Building, every Thursday. Repeaters are welcome as no two tours are alike.
Every Sunday there is a Walking Tour of Hasidic Crown Heights. Four hour round-trip bus and walking tour affords you the opportunity to experience the sounds of a Hasidic synagogue, see an actual Torah scroll being written, explore the history of a Hasidic library, savor a delectable kosher deli lunch, and enjoy other seasonal highlights.
Gangland Tours. Manhattan and Brooklyn on 2 separate tours. You will be offered a full city tour. Come and see the very places where the mob's history occurred. Join Gangland Tours on an incredible journey through New York's crime history. This tour is one of the ways to see the city that never sleeps.
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden: on any weekend wander over to New York City's premier plant kingdom. Free guided tours featuring seasonal highlights on the grounds or in the Conservatory are offered every Saturday and Sunday (except major holiday weekends).
Walk through The Bronx Zoo. It is operated by the Wildlife Conservation Society, the Zoo offers 265 wooded acres, 560 different species (including those endangered or threatened), and over 6000 animals. As the largest metropolitan wildlife park in the U.S., the Zoo has continued to combine nature, recreation, and education like no other city cultural institution.
Be sure being in New York City you will find a walking tour that will give your pleasure and zest. Or choose a walking tour of your own, go and enjoy!

Recipe here; Tips on the flour here
All of the ingredients are easy to find in grocery stores except for the flours joshinko (non-glutinous white rice flour) and mochiko (glutinous white rice flour). These you should find at a Japanese market. Chinese and Korean markets always sell mochiko. I'm not sure about the regular rice flour but it must be under their Chinese or Korean names, so just ask someone.

Iku Mama is laying out something I always call traditional Japanese "American" breakfast XD. In fact, there is even a wikipedia entry on it. Of course, the real joke is that Usagi doesn't eat anything because she's always late but, anyhow….
1. Carb: Toast with butter.
If you want to be very accurate, you need Japanese style white bread (aka shokupan 食パン). This is not quite the same as regular white bread but very thick, slightly sweet, and extremely soft bread that is sold in Japan and Korea.
A recipe and loving description is here if you do not live near an Asian bakery.
2. Protein: 1 fried egg, sunny side up. Usually, you eat the egg on top of the bread. and have veggies on the side
3. Cup of coffee or black tea in an adorable rabbit mug (see yesterday's post!).

Whose Stuff? Aino Minako
From? Anime: Sailor Moon R
Season Episode 32: Series Episode 78 -「ヴィーナス美奈子のナース大騒動」 or "Venus Minako's Nurse Mayhem"
What? Nurse Aino Minako's special okayu (rice porridge, aka congee)! Ahahaha one of the funniest episodes ever. Rice porridge is bland, easy to swallow and hot so people often serve it for sick people who have a hard time eating. However, this episode takes place around Christmas time and right now summer is creeping in….so, it might be too hot for this season.
1. Short grained rice (aka Japanese, Korean rice)
2. Water
3. Salt
4. Random toppings (green onion, umeboshi, chicken, etc)
5. Your ability to follow directions here
*I swear it is impossible to screw up. This is why it is so funny that Minako cannot get it right.

Whose stuff? Everyone's stuff!
Season Episode 20/ Series Episode 66 - 「うさぎの親心?カレーな三角関係」 or "Usagi's Parental Love? A Curry Triangle Relationship"
What? Curry Rice! If "kid food" in the US is mac n'cheese or chicken nuggets, then the equivalent in Japan is definitely curry. Chibi-Usa has a curry-making day at her elementary school and Usagi has to help her make it (after Makoto teaches her). Ami proposes making the curry powder from scratch (too hard) while Rei advocates the instant version (lazy haha).
1. chopped carrots (2), onions (1), potato (1)
2. bit of chopped meat (red meat, chicken, pork)
3. cooking oil
4. curry blocks - I usually get Vermont House Curry

Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Mystery of the Year, City of Glass inaugurates an intriguing New York Trilogy of novels that The Washington Post Book World has classified as "post-existentialist private eye...It's as if Kafka has gotten hooked on the gumshoe game and penned his own ever-spiraling version." As a result of a strange phone call in the middle of the night, Quinn, a writer of detective stories, becomes enmeshed in a case more puzzling than any he might have written. Written with hallucinatory clarity, City of Glass combines dark humor with Hitchcock-like suspense.

This essay was written by Kate Watters, Volunteer Program Director for the Trust. It originally appeared in FlagLive on May 17, 2012.
River Time: Where will we be in 50 years?
"Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away." ~ Marcus Aurelius
In early May I sat by the San Juan River with my colleagues at the Grand Canyon Trust. We gathered to consider the future of conservation across the Colorado Plateau. When you sit by the river long enough, you can't help but think about time. What will this place look like in 50 years? We speculated that it will be more arid with a scarcity of water. There will be more demand for domestic oil and gas exploration, more weeds, and less forest. Is there hope for prospering human and natural communities on the plateau in the future? I fear that people do not see the importance of preserving a place that is not just special, but essential to me personally and to life as we know it. How can we inspire people to care, to take a stand, to act?
The remnants of previous attempts at human settlement are all around us. Sandstone walls with images pecked into stone: bighorn sheep, spirals, and serpents. There are rows of tall, anthropomorphic figures with oversized hands and feet wearing elaborate headdresses. On the same wall, Navajo and Ute residents depicted images of horses and human figures with guns. Nearby, names and dates mark the arrival of Mormon settlers. Hand and toe-hole trails that traverse along sloping sandstone lead to rock granaries. There is no straightforward translation for these messages left by our predecessors—the mystery persists leaving more questions than answers. No one knows how close we are to retreating into the cliffs to defend our meager food stashes. Hopefully we have enough time to get our act together.
I will be 91 years old in 50 years. I'll probably be dead. Or maybe I'll have enough spunk to still be cultivating a small garden. It's hard to imagine the losses I might witness in the intervening years—of people and places I love and, likely, even species from the planet.
Fifteen years ago my best friend Karla rented a crumbling room at Saint Christopher's Catholic Mission on the outskirts of Bluff, Utah waiting out her 20-something life crisis with odd jobs between seasons on trail crew. On my visits we combated the uncertainty of our young lives by feeling the solid purchase of our feet on the sweeping sandstone expanse of Comb Ridge. The beauty and emptiness of the land absorbed the lack of purpose we felt. The open setting invited freedom and ignited the search for meaning in our lives.
Now I climb up high above the San Juan River to enjoy a 360-degree view. Chinle Wash is a green ribbon twisting through a sea of sandstone, flowing some 75 miles from its source at Canyon de Chelly, the place I began my journey on the plateau twenty years ago. Bright green explosions of native cottonwood trees rise from a sea of silvery exotic Russian olive foliage. Originally planted in the early 1900's for erosion control, today their thorny branches dominate the riverbanks. At my feet, smooth river cobbles tell a story of a distant time when the river flowed here. In the fading daylight, I stand at the foot of a big sand dune littered with pale evening primrose and sand verbena blossoms. Their perfume beckons insects from far and wide. Bees and moths move between the blooms, collecting energy to carry on, and pollinating the plants in the process, a relationship that has evolved over millions of years.
Back in camp my co-worker, Roger, retrieves his family time capsule and reads the notes from decades of river journeys. He has floated the San Juan countless times, first as a river guide, then on his honeymoon and dozens of times with his kids. His children are grown, and some of his friends and family have passed. We write messages on a new piece of paper, marking our own passage.
I marvel at how our human brains struggle to comprehend the next 50 years while plants and rocks embody deep time. My life feels small in the face of the forces of change. The sandstone beneath my feet is solid and familiar, as are the questions of how to live with purpose. I hear the echoes of the past and feel gratitude for this necessary work to conserve and restore these places that have defined who I am today.

Bacterial infection of the cornea is a rare, but sight-threatening, complication of contact lens wear that was first reported shortly after soft lenses were introduced onto the market in the 1970s. During the past 3 decades, various attempts to solve the problem with new lens types and lens care products have failed to make a significant impact on its incidence. Eliminating contact lens-related infections will likely require a better understanding of the ocular defense system, microbial virulence strategies, how they affect one another, and the effects of contact lens wear on both. Each of these topics is complex. Although research in this area is therefore challenging and necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, what we are learning along the way has significance beyond contact lens-related infection and could ultimately lead to the development of new strategies to prevent this and a range of other sight- and life-threatening diseases.

By: Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha
Last week saw what might be termed the most significant transformation in political thought in recent years. Under the able guidance of Sagarica Delgoda, head of the Friedrich Naumann Stiftung in Sri Lanka, Ranil Wickremesinghe declared himself an adherent of the particularly liberal doctrine of individual freedom.
COLOMBO: The death of "Brigadier" Balraj, one of the Special Commanders of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of a heart attack somewhere in the Wanni on Tuesday was a major blow to the rebel group already short of top commanders.
Sri Lanka was one of 34 UN Member states that co-sponsored a draft UN resolution calling upon States to ensure the realization of the right to food as an essential human rights objective, and to consider the review of any policy or measure which could have a negative impact on the realization of that right.
Maheswary Velautham was killed in a hail of bullets fired at point blank range by LTTE gunmen when she was caring for her bedridden ailing mother in her home village in Navundil in northern Jaffna in the presence of her family members. Writ all over this cruel episode of murder, and the manner and circumstances in which it was carried is not an iota of the self-proclaimed heroism of the LTTE, but its unrivalled depravity and cowardice.

A Boy and a Bear in a Boat
Grades 1-4
A boy, looking to go to the other side, hops into a bear's boat for what he is assured will not be too long of a journey. Hours later, the bear continues to assure the boy that They. Are. Not. Lost. Sometimes unforseen anomalies arise, you know.
Days later the two have run out of sandwiches.
A simple, quiet adventure story perfectly tailored for a bedtime read-aloud, A Boy and a Bear in a Boat recalls cozy, character-rich classics with plenty to think about, yet is one of a kind and quite quirky.
Chloe and the Lion
Grades K-3
A truly original, silly, funny, and downright cool picture book about a girl named Chloe, a loose-change finder who ends up lost in the woods after a dizzyingly long merry-go-round ride... where she meets a huge lion. (The lion is really a dragon, not a lion. Illustrator Adam Rex has been fired for replacing the lion with a "cooler" dragon. Sorry. The remainder of the book will be handled by a true illustrator who can follow directions. Apologies for this interruption.)
Question Boy Meets Little Miss Know-It-All
Reading Level: Ages 3 - 8
Young superhero, Question Boy, asks non-stop questions to poor unsuspecting everyday superheroes like Garbage Man until he meets Little Miss Know-It-All in the park. Has he finally met his match?
My Rhinoceros
Reading Level: Ages 4 - 6
Rhinoceros isn't a very fun pet - he doesn't really do much. The rhinoceros expert says that rhinos only really do two things: pop balloons, and poke holes in kites.
Not very good activities for a boy and a rhinoceros who want to go to the park... where there is a balloon man (rhino doesn't pay him a glance) and a bunch of kids flying kites (rhino doesn't care).
On the way home from the park, the boy and the rhino see two bank robbers getting away... in a hot air balloon and by kite!
Reading Level: Ages 3 and up
Floyd's kite gets stuck in a tree and he does everything he can think of to get it out. Unfortunately, what he can't do is think of an intelligent solution in this ridiculously absurd story that will appeal to the truly silly child in your life (or in you).
Snake and Lizard
Reading Level: Grades K-3
Though Snake and Lizard have their differences, friendship prevails and the two are best of friends, going on short adventures from story to story.
Snake and Lizard is a charming and hilarious episodic entry into the chapter book world not to be missed by animal and humor lovers of all ages. A step up (in every way) from classics like Frog and Toad, this short chapter book is great for independent readers or as a bedtime serial. This book is not to be missed.
Because of Mr. Terupt
Reading Level: 3rd-6th
New teacher Mr. Terupt has a handful this year in his fifth grade class - but his abnormal teaching methods are a good fit for helping the students grow and work together. The school year is going great, until the accident. Then everything changes.
A heartwarming book about the profound influence of Mr. Terupt, this is a tale for students of all ages.
Melvin and the Boy
Reading Level: PreK- Grade 2
When a young boy sees a turtle basking at the park one day, he knows it will be the PERFECT pet.
But when he gets Melvin home, the turtle doesn't seem to be enjoying himself at all.
How can Melvin be the perfect pet if he isn't happy?
The Abandoned Lighthouse
Grades K-2
When a bear falls asleep in a rowboat and the tide comes in, the boat floats out to sea, landing at a lighthouse.
A boy loses his ball in the same rowboat, and floats out to sea with his little dog, landing at the lighthouse - where the lonely bear is happy to see them.
The three new friends go fishing to catch their diner - but then a storm comes and the little dog, boy, and bear are frightened; they turn on the lighthouse light and stop a ship from crashing into the lighthouse island.

About BMW 323i
The 3 series is BMW's best selling line of cars. Ever since its introduction over three decades ago it has been a steady seller, and a favorite among many enthusiasts. The 3 series offered consumers a more affordable entry level into the luxury car market, and was designed to give drivers the ultimate driving experience. BMWs are now well known for being luxurious and classy, highly engineered performance oriented vehicles, and the 3 series without a doubt helped to further shape that image over the years into what it is today. The BMW 323i is a 3 series that was produced as a part of the E46 generation. The vehicle was available to the United States market from the 1998 model year until 2000 when it was replaced by the 325i for the 2001 model year. The 323i featured the M52TUB25 which is a 2.5L inline 6 cylinder engine that produces 168 horsepower and 181 ft-lb of torque.

I have a year old filly that has been peeing a little bit at a time, but often, sometimes every couple minutes. Could she have a bladder infection, or is it nothing to worry about?She seems healthy otherwise, she has gained a bit of weight after the winter and she doesn't seem peevish. She has always been less energetic than the other two.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

I don't know about horses but that's exactly how our cats have acted when they had a urinary tract infection.
-- Cindy in NY (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 22, 2002.
A yearling will come into heat. Have you noticed any "winking"? If it continues for more then a few days I would have a vet check her.
-- tracy (email@example.com), April 22, 2002.
I have noticed "winking", I didn't know that that was a sign of heat. I'll keep an eye out to see if it continues. I guess it is the right time of year for horses.
-- Chenoa (email@example.com), April 22, 2002.
Could she be in season?Just a thought!
-- Susan in MN (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 22, 2002.
If she is in heat make sure she's not in with any stallions. If she gets pregnant this young you'll have a lot of complications. Good luck.
-- Erika (email@example.com), April 22, 2002.
All my mares will wink after they urinate whether thay are in heat or not. It's winking without having pee'd first that would be an indication of heat. Also, is the urine normal in color? When mares are in heat they will sometimes sort of squat and "pee" but the fluid is more milky whitish than clear & yellow. This is more of a lubrication substance than real urine. We call this "squirting" for lack of a better term. A yearling can indeed become pregnant so do be careful of any stallions. I would say if her temp is normal & she is eating & acting OK she is more than likely having a first heat. Of course, it's always best to consult your vet if the condition lasts more than a couple days or the filly acts ill in any way.
-- ellie (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 23, 2002.
Thanks for all the info, don't worry though, there are no stallions around. The pee is not clear, just a bit milky, and I think it is tapering off - I haven't seen her do it in one or two days now.Thanks again,
-- Chenoa (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 24, 2002.

That is a very, very short dress. My mom wouldn't let me out in that… then again my mom wouldn't wear that black, netty/furry thing either.

Using taxpayer dollars to build the project and then asking to not pay property taxes for 10 years or so, they should be taxed double.
These people always use tactics such as we have to get the abatement and by a certain time or we will build somewhere else.

The Renaissance strategic support fund is the final programme strand of Renaissance to be developed. It aims to address the priorities set out in Culture, knowledge and understanding: great museums and libraries for everyone and complements our Major partner museum and Museum development investment.
It focuses on any gaps (geographical or otherwise) or development opportunities across the sector recognising that excellence and the potential for excellence can be found in museums of all sizes.
We have committed over £36 million as a result of the first and second funding rounds of the strategic support fund. This includes the negotiation of transitional funds to those museums exiting from a long term funding relationship with Renaissance.
A further £6.1 million is available in the third round for activity that takes place in 2014/15. This is in addition to the £6.4 million already committed for 2014-15 in rounds one and two of the fund. For 2014-15, we expect to see awards of £30,000 to £300,000.
Funding rounds
Round one
94 projects were commissioned for the 2012/13 grants. Activity for these projects largely finished in March 2013.
Round two
For round two of the Strategic support fund we made 87 awards for activity starting in April 2013. Funds were awarded to a wide range of projects across the country. Thirty of these awards were for activity across the two years 2013/14 and 2014/15.
Download a list of projects awarded Round two funding.
Round three
The third round of the Strategic support fund opens on 3 October 2013, for activity that takes place between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015. In this round, we are anticipating ambitious projects that build on innovation, resilience and sustainability in the museums sector.
Further information
The fund will cover areas of work set out in our Guidance for applicants and will support innovation, develop resilience and sustainability, and encourage collaboration within the museums sector in England.
