Day 9 in Ukraine
13 comments:
I know exactly how you feel!! I was that way on Thursday, but it does get better!! We hope to have court this next week and then home!
It is like living in a dream, feels like it is not real life :)
So happy your visits are going so well :)
she is such a beautiful little girl.
Still praying for good news tomorrow :)The sunlight looks so nice on Zoyas beautiful face. It seems like GOD shows you his presence again and again with HIS light. (Like on your very first meeting in the orphanage when you met your little angel....)
The LORD is the LIGHT! HE may "warm" you up, as you are far from home and you experience feelings never know before.
I wish you GODs peace for every single moment.
Praying! ChristinaHi you two, Seth was a handful so we had to come home from church! I couldn't wait to see if you posted! WOW! She is so beautiful and so are you both!The joy and excitement that shows on all of your faces is priceless. Praying for good news tomorrow for the judge and court date along with all your other concerns. God knows every little detail and will supply it. Hugs from all of us. Kathy S.
ReplyDeleteI remember thinking about the movie Groundhog Day as well! Try and enjoy it while you're there...it does pass quickly, and we were there a month! I really got to know and love the country that our little boy is from, and I will always relate that fondness we felt in Ukraine, with him, through out his life. It's wonderful to have a positive connection between your child and where they came from.
She looks so happy and at ease with you. Like she's always been with you. And vise versa :)
Adoption is beautiful.Sarah and Shawn,
Thank you so much for keeping everyone updated on your journey to adopt your daughter. I have to tell you...reading this is so emotional...I can't even imagine what it is like for the two of you actually living it. It is so awesome seeing the pictures and videos and seeing how Zoya is really connecting with you. I'm thinking of you daily!- Aunt JaniceMarch 21, 2010 at 1:01 PM
Sarah and Shawn,
I just finished showing the last weeks worth of pictures and blog writing to Grandma Pulley. She was so happy to see Zoya and you guys. She said to tell you that she can't wait til you bring Zoya home so she can give her a great big hug and kisses. She also said that you are going to have a very difficult time if you have to leave her for the 10 days. We are all praying that you get a compassionate and loving judge.
Love, Aunt Janice Sarah, Shawn and Zoya, So excited to see this little one with a book in her hand...you go girl! I can not imagine how tough it is to face this everyday, but remember, I have seen you in action. You are an amazing person, and we know Shawn is too because you two are such a special couple. Sarah, as a young teacher, you encountered many obstacles as you set up a new classroom in a new building. You have always been child centered and what is best for the child. You hang in there girl, if anyone can get through these obstacles, it is YOU. Just pretend you are camping!!!Keep the updates coming. Zoya is a beautiful little angel. Love and prayers to all of you. May the judge realize you are an amazing couple and fully deserve to be a united family. Take care, Debbie N.

Referees must register with the U.S. Soccer Federation every year to be eligible to work affiliated competitions in the United States.
The cost, process and deadlines for registration vary depending on the State Referee Association where the new or existing referee resides. Contact information and a complete list of the 55 State Referee Associations can be found by clicking here.
These associations support the U.S. Soccer Federation Referee Program at the local level and should be the first point of contact for all new and existing referees looking for specific information and details on the registration process.
When registering directly with a State Referee Association, information is sent to U.S. Soccer at some point after the registration and certification process has been completed. Some State Referee Associations may require referees to register directly with U.S. Soccer, and in these cases, all registration procedures and deadlines will be communicated directly by the U.S. Soccer Registration Department when appropriate.
Registration Cards and Badges
In collaboration with each State Referee Association, U.S. Soccer confirms all completed registrations by sending each referee an official referee registration card and referee badge.
The distribution of these materials can vary so new and existing referees should contact their State Referee Administrator or State Youth Referee Administrator with any specific questions related to the process.
Replacement Badges
Registered referees who have received their current registration card can purchase a replacement or additional badges online at by clicking here.
Badges are $3.50 each and the referee must also pay tax, plus shipping and handling. A maximum of two replacement badges can be ordered per USSF ID Number.
Lapses in Registration
All referees are required to be registered for the current year prior to officiating in any U.S. Soccer Federation affiliated match.
Any official who misses a registration year may be certified at the grade previously held by completing all the established criteria related to testing and assessments for the grade in question.
The following policy applies to referees who were previously certified and registered with U.S. Soccer and wants to return:
- Grade 8 referees who miss 1-2 consecutive years of registration can be re-registered as a grade 8 after completing a Referee Re-certification clinic.
- Grade 8 referees who miss 3-4 consecutive years of registration can be re-registered after taking the Referee Bridge (Grade 9 to Grade 8) Course or the entire Entry Level Referee Training Course.
- Grade 8 referees who miss 5 or more consecutive years must re-take the entire Entry Level Referee Training Course.
- Grade 7 Referees and Higher - Referees can only be registered at the grade they qualify for. Referees who were Grade 7 or higher should be downgraded a minimum of one (1) grade, as per current policy (as long as they have met the criteria for that grade). Once they retake the appropriate course as listed above for grade 8 referees and have completed all the requirements for the previously held grade, they may be upgraded.
- Grade 9 Referees who miss one or two years of registration may be re-certified after fulfilling all re-certification requirements for that grade. A Grade 9 Referee who misses two years of registration can be eligible to take the Bridge Course (9-8) after he or she has met the requirements to be re-certified as Grade 9.
- U.S. Soccer Federation Referee Instructors who wish to re-certify as a referee after a lapse in referee registration may be registered as a grade 8 referee upon meeting current re-certification requirements, no matter how long it has been since they last registered as a referee, if they are currently registered as a U.S. Soccer instructor and have taught, at a minimum, one entry-level referee training course in the last two years.
Cross-certification is available to referees of AYSO and the U.S. Soccer Federation who have been certified as referees for six months or more and who are not certified with both organizations.
All games officiated for AYSO or the U.S. Soccer Federation may be applied toward the certification requirements of either AYSO or the U.S. Soccer Federation.
More information on this process can be found by clicking here.

Lindsay Lohan sent a belated "thank you" card and flowers to casa de Charlie Sheen for that $100k check he gave her -- this just days after he called her out for being ungrateful.
You'll recall ... Charlie did an interview this week and put LiLo's manners on blast, claiming the actress never actually thanked him for the money he gave her. Not a text, not a phone call ... nothing.
Now sources close to Lindsay tell TMZ ... LiLo didn't mean to be rude and the reason she never got around to thanking Charlie personally is because her phone broke and she lost all her contacts -- including the actor's number.
Besides that, we're told Lindsay got distracted trying to deal with her slew of legal problems -- like getting arrested in NYC and the new criminal charges filed against her stemming from her PCH crash -- and she simply lost track of time.
But she made up for it ... we're told LiLo saw Charlie's comments and immediately fired off a "thank you" letter and a bouquet of flowers to his house ... as both an apology and show of gratitude.
Usually the best way to thank Charlie is with hookers, but flowers are nice too.
I'm sure she thanked him well in advance, maybe a lil limp wristed I mean that literally, I'm sure at the next afterparty she will spank I mean thank him again.
This girl is the lowest in all aspects of life how do you not say thank you for $100,000 do you know how many "party girls" that gets you
She is a ungratefully skank, it was 100,000 damn dollars how can you be to busy for that??? And she uses the money he gave her to thank him sure use the money he gave you to buy some $hitty flowers. She needs to get on her knees and beg forgiveness then he should throw "it" in her face again this time around the lips. Yea baby!
Oh come on, her phone broke, she lost all her contacts. And no one else knew anything about Charlie Sheen and could help her out. Add that to her long list of excuses.
- Selena Gomez -- Fashion FAIL!
- Check Out Lilo's Teenage Boy Toy
- Man Gets Plastic Surgery to Look Like Justin Bieber
- Miranda Kerr Suffers Double Nip Slip

Mel Brooks awes Marc Maron and How Was Your Week turns 100 in style
To listen to these and other podcasts, visit Podmass Central, our podcast hub.
Podmass comments and suggestions for future coverage can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
"The thing about Ruth Pointer is, she knows how to party. You know what she keeps in her shoulder pads? Seven grams of cocaine." —Randy Sklar discussing the Pointer Sisters, The Fogelnest Files
"And you're like, 'When is the end?' And it's Ray Romano. That is the end of the line, is he's in a meeting with the guy, and we still don't know who the guy is." —Julian McCullough on the entertainment industry's mysterious power structure, You Made It Weird
"A baby will toss you into hell." —Mel Brooks, WTF With Marc Maron
"Are you friendly with him?"
"No, nobody is." —Marc Maron asking Mel Brooks about Woody Allen, WTF With Marc Maron"We used to be together. We were together for four years. But there was something a little off."
"I couldn't put my finger on it."
"I wouldn't let him put his finger on it. Folks, I still got it. I thought all my punchlines were in my tits." —Tig Notaro and Kyle Dunnigan on their platonic relationship, Professor Blastoff"That's what the experiment for me was: find out what exactly these people were like."
"They laugh during the movie Philadelphia, I think." —Jeffrey Ross and Ron Sexsmith discuss Ross roasting the Westboro Baptist Church, Comedy Bang! Bang!"I'm not a marriage expert, clearly. But I would say murder is not a good foundation for marriage." —Garry Marshall (Paul F. Tompkins), Comedy Bang! Bang!
Put Your Hands Together, which takes a cue from former host Scott Aukerman in offering a podcast version of the show, has a basic premise like any other showcase: a series of openers, a feature, and a headliner all perform five-to-10 minute sets in front of a live audience (some of whom are leftover from Doug Loves Movies). The caliber of comedians in the four episodes to date is clearly what sets the new show apart; a majority of the performers should be familiar to Podmass readers and even casual comedy fans. Kyle Kinane and Steve Agee kick off and headline the première episode with some hilariously blue material, and later installments feature sets from Bobcat Goldthwait, James Adomian, and A.V. Club pal/Podmass contributor Dan Telfer, plus cameos from Aziz Ansari, Jimmy Pardo, and an impersonation from Bob Odenkirk. Esposito's easy charm glues it all together, whether she's sharing anecdotal tidbits about hanging out with Kinane's mom, interviewing performers backstage (a boon to the podcast version), or quieting a noisy audience member by riffing on the idea of handing out microphones at random. Given its pedigree, Put Your Hands Together would probably succeed just by its very nature; having Esposito's relentless positivity bouncing around the room each week—and having it all available in podcast form—is a welcome bonus.

The Best Show On WFMU
By attempting to create his own script for the Entourage movie, Tom Scharpling lays down a great topic for this week's episode. Unfortunately, the callers just can't match his wit, making this one of the less memorable episodes in Best Show's recent winning streak. [AF]
The Bugle #222: Halfrica
Due to technical difficulties, the first 20 minutes of Issue 222 were lost in an ether of corrupted files. Andy Zaltzman nervously recaps the lost material, transitioning into a truncated episode that never fully jibes. [MK]
Comedy Bang! Bang! #198: Aren't You Glad: Jeffrey Ross, Ron Sexsmith, Amy Phillips, Neil Campbell
Celebrity impressions are exaggerations, and in the hands of Amy Phillips—a skilled impressionist who's appeared on CBB as Gwyneth Paltrow, Liza Minnelli, and Jennifer Tilly—Sarah Silverman is constantly shrieking about bodily functions and vaginas. While it kills Scott Aukerman and Jeffrey Ross, it's grating for an hour. Jeffrey Ross is funny, and singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith is droll, but Neil Campbell's Cam Billmoth (an close anagram of Mitch Albom) barely registers. [KR]
Doug Loves Movies: Burning Love
Although Jerry O' Connell and Adam Scott make valiant efforts, not much can save this non-starter of an episode featuring too many members of the cast of the web series Burning Love. [MS]
The Mental Illness Happy Hour #99: Jess
Jess seems remarkably strong for someone who suffered a lifetime's worth of tragedy in her childhood, but the conversation suffers a bit as friend Paul Gilmartin tries to neatly categorize the messier parts of her story. [TC]
Mohr Stories #129: David Koechner
Anchorman's Champ Kind revisits his true-life stand-up story, about his family's experience with a surrogate mother, in a surprisingly serious conversation that he and Mohr punctuate with irreverent zingers. [DXF]
Mohr Stories #130: Chris Byrd
Those who aren't hardcore boxing fans should still be able to follow Mohr's long conversation with former WBO-IBF heavyweight champion Chris Byrd, who discusses Don King, unanswerable boxing debates, and what it's like to fight Evander Holyfield. [DXF]
The Moth: Faye Lane: Fireworks From Above
Faye Lane's story about being a flight attendant is touching in the end, but her delivery is too giggly and gaudy to suit the feel of The Moth. [SG]
My Brother, My Brother And Me #139: Minority Groundhog Report
Most of the goofs this week are mildly amusing, but the McElroy brothers can do much, much better. [CG]
Nerdist #318: SF Sketchfest 2013
With guest Pete Holmes in tow, this live episode starts strong before faltering around the midway point. It never effectively recovers, and aside from a few great moments in the "quemments" section, the second half is largely devoid of substance. [DA]
Never Not Funny #1205: Coming Down The Mountain With Jon Dore
Hypothetical death scenarios and Jon Dore's dark sense of humor are oddly paired with favorite comedy movies and stories of awkward encounters in airports, making for an imbalanced episode that never hits its stride. [SM]
The Smartest Man in the World: Greg Proops Film Club: Gilda
It's another episode of Greg Proops Film Club, which means only those who've recently seen this week's movie, Charles' Vidor's Gilda, will get much out of this episode. [NC]
The Todd Glass Show #88: Live From Washington D.C.!
Unfortunately, Todd Glass and Daniel Kinno's energy and enthusiasm don't translate to a particularly cohesive or memorable live show. [MS]

Trapped in Kansas
When a group of university students decide to combine forces and make music, the move is quite often inspired by cheap booze and the need for an alternative to daytime television. Not so, it appears, in the case of Ayr's Trapped In Kansas. Guitarist Gregor Fair explains that the quartet's intricate, tuneful brand of indie rock was borne out of inter-band conversations on space, time travel, the Hadron Collider and other assorted quandaries of physics. "We genuinely have some intense scientific brain meltdowns whilst traversing the M8 in Chris [Ward]'s trusty Citroen Picasso."
Ward, the band's bass player and vocalist elaborates: "I would certainly say our biggest influence is science. We get into crazy chats about dark matter, parallel universes and Stephen Hawking."
It's a refreshing approach to songwriting, and one which has paid dividends this year. Though only formed in June 2008, Trapped in Kansas already have debut performances at RockNess and a headlining set in the T Break tent at T in the Park under their belt, having also featured in a filmed session for The Skinny and Off The Beaten Tracks at the latter.
Whilst Fair is loathe to define the band's sound, he describes its intricacies as "thoughtful and sometimes challenging, without being complicated for the sake of it." He is sure, however, that Trapped in Kansas have found a distinct identity. "I think we're instantly recognisable against other Scottish bands. Finn [Le Marinel]'s vocals are very unique which helps us stand out. The rhythms and tempos are constantly shifting in our songs, which keeps people interested."
It's a reasonable summation, according to the few tracks the band have released. There's a palpable element of math-rock, but the tracks are consistently melodic. Their palette owes much to the wildly varied tastes of the band's members: drummer Iain Symes enjoys dubstep and drum & bass, whereas Le Marinel is, according to Fair, "a purveyor of anything devoid of time signatures." Fair's own background is playing in punk bands, whilst Ward mainly follows indie bands like Belle & Sebastian, Stapleton and The Smiths. Collectively, the band enjoy more than the mere mysteries of the universe, sharing a love of Frightened Rabbit and American Football.
Having just completed a tour of Scotland with Bronto Skylift and Lions.Chase.Tigers., Ward is confident that another EP release from the band is forthcoming in the near future, though the process of formalising an agreement with the right label hasn't been without its complications. "We've had chats with some Scottish labels about doing a single deal, though thus far nothing has been right for us. But we're excited about the EP, it will be like the end of our first chapter and we can move away from those tracks and onto new material."
With another round of Scottish gigs scheduled between now and the festive season, the opportunities to catch the dextrously talented Trapped In Kansas are plentiful. Be sure and see them now before they turn the page.

The station hall was thoroughly renovated in the late 1990s and early 2000s, merging the two formerly separated passenger tunnels into a single concourse. The station's platforms, however, were only partially renovated, but are expected to be refurbished from 2008 on for € 12.6 million.
The station is connected to the Bremen tramway network operated by BSAG by a large, six-track tram station in front of the main hall.
The sculptures on the façade, among other railway-related symbolisms, depict the coats of arms of the cities of Bremen and Hanover, the original destinations of the line.
There is a large mural inside the station's main hall, dating back to the 1950s and showing city scenes. It went into oblivion when it was drywalled off and station announcement boards were put over it in the 1970s, but has been carefully renovated at the station's most recent interior overhaul and is now viewable to the public again.

So we pretty much have our practice every Friday night, and it still surprises me how much we get accomplished in each session. "Waiting" is pretty much done and done. "No Complications" and the-other-song-whose-codename-I'm-not-allowed-to-say-or-Collins-will-never-forgive-me are still both very fluid and change with each time we run through them, but they're solidifying nicely - I even catch myself whistling them once in a while.
We've started to work on a few covers, but we're going to keep those to a minimum (despite the fact that the list of covers we'd like to perform keeps growing!). Elden has an entire catalog of tunes he's written over the past few years that we're starting to go through and decide which of them would work out best for the band since we're not neccessarily a metal band (despite the fact that each song we play keeps getting harder and faster).
It's my hopes that in the next couple weeks we'll be able to get a recording rig for the drums and upload a few clean copies of the songs we're working on. We've got a few mixdowns made already that Elden has thrown together, but it's not the same as the live song, of course.

LATEST RELEASE: The next update for Sony's PlayStation3 will let users simulate amyloid-beta, the protein implicated in Alzheimer's disease.

The newest release for the PlayStation3 (PS3) will not give you a sore thumb, but it may help researchers come up with drugs for Alzheimer's. Sony announced today that beginning March 23, PS3 users will be able to take part in simulations to study how proteins fold into the clumps that litter the brains of Alzheimer's patients, speeding up those simulations dramatically—if enough gamers join in.
Cells build proteins by linking amino acids into a chain, which spontaneously folds into a three-dimensional shape that lets the protein do its various jobs. Researchers suspect that diseases such as Mad Cow, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's result from proteins that fold improperly and get tangled together, thereby gumming up the brain. But simulating that process—to understand it and come up with drugs that interfere with it—is difficult even for the fastest computers.
The PS3 will let gamers join a project called Folding@Home (FAH), which breaks up complex simulations of proteins into manageable pieces and sends them to home computers that crunch the numbers in their spare time—similar to a screen saver. As the home machines finish their individual simulations, FAH computers assemble them into a complete picture of how a protein morphs from one shape into another.
Right now FAH includes about 2,000,000 computers and has slashed simulation times from 30 years for a mid-size protein to two or three years, says biophysicist Vijay Pande of Stanford University, who began the project in 2000. But "there's a certain point where adding more computers doesn't help anymore," he says, because some parts of the simulation cannot be broken down any further.
That's where the PS3 comes in: its highly touted Cell Broadband Engine Architecture (Cell) microprocessor can solve crucial parts of the simulation 20 times faster than standard computers, Pande says. "We can do a lot even with 10,000 processors," he says—out of two million PS3s sold so far. "It's really dramatic. It turns two years into two months."
Pande says that he will concentrate on simulating amyloid-beta, deposits of which are found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. His goal, he adds, is to identify a drug candidate for Alzheimer's disease that pharmaceutical companies will want to evaluate. "I would really love to say a year or two from now [that] we've made a fundamental advance in Alzheimer's," he says.
He notes that he expects PS3 owners to get involved for the same reasons that others have: "people are interested in the science, in the competition, in the possibilities that we can make an impact on disease," he says.
Users will be able to run the FAH software whenever they like, or set it to switch on when the system is idle and in-between games, says Richard Marks, a senior researcher at Sony. He says Sony designers tried to make the simulation resemble other online games: The protein folds on the screen in real time, and users can zoom in or out, or rotate their view as well as monitor the number of simulations they have completed and see where around the world other PS3s are running simulations. "I think they will feel compelled to do it," he says, "just because it resonates with what they know."
The speedup that Pande envisions would allow computers to simulate many proteins at once, or much more rapidly study the effects of different chemicals or mutations on proteins, says biological physicist José Onuchic of the University of California, San Diego, who was not involved in the project. Faster computers will not answer every question, "but I think it's an important ingredient," he says. "It opens a new frontier."


text: Students' Union poll in Jamia: One year struggle yields positive result?OT, July 25, 2012 19:37 IST Okhla Times Campus Reporter/JMI Long at last central university Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has promised to make `fresh' attempt to hold student poll as an experiment on the campus that was banned six years ago. Informing the Delhi High Court recently, the university through an affidavit said: "The committee was mindful of the fact that, despite the prevailing situation in the campus, considering that the Jamia Students' Union was dissolved six years ago, a renewed attempt should be made to provide a representative body to the students by way of an experiment." The U-turn by JMI on the issue has come as a surprise to many alumni who a few days ago on Yahoo forum had sided with the authorities after publication of an article in a national daily: No students' union election on our campus: Jamia V-C Advocate Sitab Ali Chaudhary, who represented petitioner Hamidur Rehman, a JMI student, termed the recent development victory for democracy. He told OKHLA TIMES that for more than a year we fought for this. "It is good for the university and a democratic process has begun. And from day one we were hopeful that the university will agree to hold election." The development has elicited mixed reactions on the campus with majority of the students still careful to air their views in the open. But those who were at the forefront of the agitation a few months ago and had even gone to the court have welcomed the development. Now it is to be seen when the elections date is going to be announced. Post a comment |

Today, IBM announced some exciting Expert Integrated Systems news on how IBM is simplifying Big Data and Cloud Computing Adoption with New IBM PureSystems Offerings.
These announcements and client stories will be covered in today's February 5 webcast, "Smarter Computing: What's Next. Ready Now" and at the IBM PureSystems Executive Summit in Huntington Beach, California this week–which you can watch live on Livestream.
Today's announcements go beyond IBM PureSystems and include IBM Power Systems and Smarter Storage, but the focus at the PureSystems Summit and at other events around the globe is heavily focused on the new news with PureSystems. Let's jump right to what was announced about our expert integrated systems:
- We added higher performance Power-based models and entry x86-based models of the IBM PureApplication System. They are designed for deploying applications quickly on a cloud-ready platform.
- We introduced a new PureData System for Analytics that improves performance for complex analytics and has greater data capacity per rack.
- We also announced new PureFlex and Flex System Managed Service Provider Editions, specifically designed to address the fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) segment.
We continue to reinforce that clients are looking for simplicity and speed to market. They want to spend more time managing their business as opposed to managing their infrastructure. The PureSystems announcements support the value that expert integrated systems deliver to clients and reinforces Smarter Computing—the IT infrastructure that fuels a smarter planet. This set of announcements further delivers on how clients can:
- Leverage cloud to speed time to market and improve efficiency
- Unlock the power of big data to deliver more actionable insight
- Secure critical information to reduce risk and improve management of compliance
One segment of the market in particular that will benefit from these announcements is MSPs. MSPs are helping midmarket companies solve complex challenges. However, to grow their businesses, MSPs need to expand their IT infrastructure and service delivery capabilities while minimizing the disruption and risk that often comes with growth. Today, IBM brings to market new offerings for PureSystems designed specifically for MSPs including new MSP editions, flexible "pay as you grow" financing options, and enhanced marketing and sales support. These offerings are all designed to help MSPs deliver a robust cloud infrastructure that will enable them to drive new revenue streams.
Overall, IBM is introducing new cloud options tailor-made for the data center that allow businesses of all sizes to free up time and money to focus on innovation. Those offerings include:
- Smaller PureApplication System: This new "mini" model offers organizations with limited budgets and resources a "cloud in a box." It provides all of the infrastructure and management software necessary to quickly develop and deploy new applications in the cloud or on-premise, while removing complex, time- and labor-intensive processes. With smaller configurations, this model opens up new opportunities for MSPs and within growth markets without sacrificing performance.
- PureApplication System on POWER7+: This system provides larger enterprises, particularly those in financial services and insurance, the ability to better manage and maintain compute and transaction-intensive applications across environments, including the cloud, where up-time and performance are mission critical. In growth markets where large enterprises are already running many high performance applications on POWER systems, this new offering helps them get to the cloud quickly and run those applications more efficiently.
- Expanded Software Patterns Catalogue: Accessible through the PureSystems Centre, patterns are an innovative approach that automates software management – dramatically reducing the time it takes to install, manage and maintain applications. In addition to third-party ISV patterns, new patterns for IBM software include those for mobile application management, application integration, asset management and social business including IBM Web Experience Patterns for WebSphere Portal Server and Web Content Manager; IBM Connections Hypervisor Edition; and IBM Mixed Language Application Modernization Pattern.
- Managed Service Provider Editions for PureFlex and Flex Systems: IBM has created "MSP Editions" for IBM PureFlex and IBM Flex System that provide an accelerated cloud deployment platform that is faster to implement, easier to manage, and more cost effective than the MSP having to build the platform themselves, allowing them to cut operating expenses, such as systems administration and setup, by up to 50 percent.
- New Systems Tuned to Big Data: IBM's new PureData System for Analytics, powered by Netezza technology, features 50 percent greater data capacity per rack and is able to crunch data 3x faster, making this system a top performer, while also addressing the challenges of big data better than any other solution on the market. With this new offering, organizations will be able to manage more data while maintaining efficiency in the data center – a major concern for clients of all sizes.

Still, the development offers great promise for treating corneal damage and, more broadly, damage to other epithelial tissues, such as the the lung and the gastrointestinal tract. "The really exciting thing is where this can take us," Schwab enthuses. "Replacing diseased tissues and organs with bioengineered tissue is rapidly moving from the realm of science fiction to reality."

We came here for a late breakfast. The staff were truly Taos but still very friendly and efficient. Very bare-bones decor and seating, but excellent comfort food with huge portions. Worth a visit if you come to Taos!
Stopped by for a quick Sunday brunch before departing Taos. The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. Arrived at 10:30 and did not have any trouble finding a table.
just north of town heading to ski country, is the Taos Diner... great green chile breakfast burrito, waffles, bacon and good coffee... if you're looking for the best deal in Taos you found it here... expect it to be crowded but you'll get in/out quick... its a great stop for anyone on any budget
The first morning we were in Taos we went looking for a place for breakfast. It was Sunday morning and driving along we saw a lot of cars outside of the Taos Diner. Always a good sign. We went in and seated ourselves. Great menu. Hard to decide what to eat. My husband had huevos rancheros but I opted for... More
We had a little trouble finding the Taos Diner on our drive from Albuquerque, thanks to Apple maps. It originally directed us to an address across from the Taos Diner II and then someplace near the Pueblo. We turned to Google maps and headed in the right direction, but couldn't see the place. A phone call help us find the... More
We always have well done food... The service can be a little slow but they are always nice. The breakfast burrito is big enough for two.
My family have eaten at this establishment multiple times ,the service and food were exceptional till today . The food was great but the service was the worst I have ever seen .
Has to be where the locals go for breakfast - our first morning in Taos made us repeat the experience for each morning of our visit. North side is the original location - great food. Must try the biscuit!
Went there for lunch. Garlic Shrimp Caesar was great. DH liked his sandwich. It is a funky place. Might be better for breakfast than lunch.
There are now two different locations for Taos Diner, but I remain loyal to the location on the North side of town. The Taos Diner is a diner, and they do it better than 99.999% of the spots you will find. They also deserve to be rated much higher overall in Taos. This is a great spot for homemade food.... More

"Today's review is on Crash: A Mother, a Son, and the Journey from Grief to Gratitude by Dr. Carolyn Roy-Bornstein
First and foremost, I have to say that this is the most heart wrenching and heart warming book that I have had the pleasure of reading in a very long time.
A memoir of her son's tragic accident that left his girlfriend dead and him suffering from a traumatic brain injury, Crash takes the reader step by step on Bornstein's and her families grueling road through loss, recovery and acceptance.
Written so well and with such clarity, I could not help but be touched in some way or another from each and every page. Be it the description of Bornstein gasping for breath as she raced to the scene of the accident, the way she explained the fixed and dilated state of Trista's eyes, or the joy she felt when hearing Neil tell her that he "jumped", I was right there emoting along beside her.
Tragedy can happen in anyone's life at any given point, a concept many teens do not understand. It's something that we, as their parents don't want to think about either, but it is something that does need to be addressed. No one is indestructible. The alarming number of teen deaths due to drinking and driving, drugs, or suicide should be proof enough of that, but many times it just isn't. I wish that someone like Neil or his family could have spoken at my high school. Perhaps then, three of my classmates would still be alive today, all taken to early because of someone driving under the influence of alcohol.
An AMAZING Book that should be a part of any teen's library. I know I'll have my own two read it.
5 of 5 stars
Available at Amazon"
"In 2003, when Roy-Bornstein's son Neil was 17 years old, he and his girlfriend Trista were run over by a drunk driver and left for dead. Trista died from her injuries, while Neil sustained a severely broken leg and a fractured skull.

Rodeo Cowboys Ride into Hebron
Rodeo cowboys have been riding into Hebron for Harold Brooks' first-ever Redneck Rodeo this weekend.
Brooks is holding the Redneck Rodeo in the same gravel pit that was the venue for the Redneck Olympics last August — an event that provoked the U.S. Olympic Commission, which told Brooks to change the name in the future or face a lawsuit.
Brooks told the Bangor Daily News that the Redneck Rodeo is selling more tickets than he did before the Redneck Olympics. The rodeo is sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the largest and oldest rodeo-sanctioning body.
Brooks expects six to ten bareback riders and eight to ten bull riders.

The Puffin Show
Two high-definition cameras are streaming live video of Atlantic puffins waddling and bringing fish to their babies on remote Seal Island.
Anyone with an internet connection can watch the action from the Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge, thanks to the joint project of the National Audubon Society and explore.org teamed up to stream video from the Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge to anyone with an Internet connection. About 20 miles offshore, Seal Island has the largest puffin colony in the U.S.
One camera is trained on Puffin Loafing Ledge. The other is in a burrow, where an adult can be seen with a fluffy black baby. Occasionally, another adult brings a beak-full of fish for the youngster to eat.

Air Force One Lands in Bangor
Air Force One, the official plane of the President of the United States, landed in Bangor for the night after dropping the president off in New Hampshire. Once President Obama is finished making appearances in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, the plane will pick him up and return to Washington.
Bangor International Airport has an 11,44 foot runway capable of handling any aircraft, including space shuttles, making it a popular stop for military planes as well as diverted international flights.

Celtics Take Greater Control of Red Claws
Danny Ainge, the Boston Celtics Basketball Operations President, announced that his team will begin a hybrid partnership with the Developmental League team, the Maine Red Claws. The Celtics were one of three teams with the ability to send and call up players that could use more development, but under this new partnership they take control of all on-court related decisions, making the relationship more similar to that of the Red Sox and Sea Dogs.
Ainge cited the incredible fan enthusiasm in Portland telling NESN "As much as how much sense it makes for us for on the basketball side, another exciting thing is the fans and the environment here," Ainge said. "I go to a lot of D-League games around the country over the last decade and there's no better place to watch a D-League game than in Maine that I've seen yet. "I think that atmosphere creates a better opportunity for development when you have real fans cheering, capacity crowds, I think that enhances the development among players."

King Seeks to Discourage Super-PACs
Former governor and current independent candidate for senate Angus King announced he would discourage spending by Super-PACs and other outside groups in the upcoming election if his opponents agree to do the same. King says the wave of anonymous campaign expenditures entering politics as a result of the controversial Citizens United case distorts the campaign process.
The other candidates have not committed, and King would not say for sure he will follow through, should his opponents not agree. Republican nominee and current Maine Secretary of State Charles Summers said his concern is focused on the economy right now while Democrat Cynthia Dill agreed it's an important issue but felt King's proposal lacked any details or substance.

L.L.Bean Getting Closer to $1 Million
At the beginning of the year L.L.Bean announced an ambitious project known as the "Million Moment Mission" designed to increase outdoor recreation among families and get children to become more familiar with their park system. The company seeks to collect one million photos, stories, and ideas of outdoor experiences from people across America. For every moment given, up to one million, L.L.Bean will donate one dollar to the National Park Foundation's "America's Best Idea" program.
Yesterday, L.L.Bean announced reaching a milestone of collecting 350,000 moments. The announcement came in conjunction with a visit by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar who was there for a discussion on the President's America's Great Outdoors Initiative taking place at the Discovery Park in Freeport.

Great Works Dam Removal Begins
The Great Works Dam between Old Town and Bradley is being removed as part of a thirteen year construction project aimed to open up nearly 1,000 miles of habitat to eleven species of fish on the Penobscot River. The rationale is that granting access to these forms of wildlife for the first time in two hundred years will open the river to outdoor recreational opportunities, economic growth, more jobs, and energy production. U.S. Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar said $2.5 million of federal funds will go to the project, with an additional one million from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. It is being called the largest river restoration project in the eastern United States.

Portland Sculpture is 'Yarn-bombed'
Under cover of darkness, some stealth knitters adorned a Portland art installation in a colorful knit ensemble Thursday night. Today passersby admired the knitted and crocheted swatches draping "Michael," a large metal sculpture at One City Center.
The act may be a prelude to Saturday's International Yarn Bombing Day, which encourages knitters from around the world to attempt a yarn bomb on the same night.
Last year, a group of "guerrilla knitters" left their mark in Freeport, where they decked out fences, lamp posts, trees, tabletops, and handrails with colorful knitted designs and crocheted critters.

Manure Power
An Exeter dairy farm is using a new system that converts cow manure and food waste into heat and electricity.
Stonyvale Farm in Exeter, which has about 1,000 cows, is unveiling the anaerobic digestion system Thursday, according to the Associated Press. Stonyvale is selling the electricity to the region's power grid, and it has formed a new company, called Exeter Agri-Energy, to run the operation.

But you got to call and join right now! The imange of the woman who join Obama in placing the wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier comes immediately to mind. She no longer had the legs she was born with and I can't come up with a good reason why.
By Winston Warfield, November 12, 2008 at 2:17 pm Link to this comment Mr. Fish captures with savage brilliance the bleak, black-humor of the situation. This Vietnam veteran relates. This is soldiers' humor; oh, please know that after the shock of taking in this cartoon, I do relate. You can almost smell the bitterness, that so many of us feel after returning to this "nation of overfed clowns" (Kunstler), from which we've been forever alienated on some level. We now have been so "disappeared" culturally, that even Veterans Day glorifications are quaint and hollow, impossible to relate to by the public. Certainly there is little genuine emotion. Now expand Mr. Fish's cartoon encapsulation of one life's freakish suffering, and think about MILLIONS like this, of us, but mostly The Other whom we bomb, who must also learn to live as cripples (those who survive at all). Can you cry, or at least feel that lump in the chest? Because if you can't, you need to ask what we've lost as humans.
By John E. Smith, November 12, 2008 at 12:42 pm Link to this comment Yes, this cartoon is strong stuff and politically incorrect. I grieve for all the young men of my generation (Vietnam) and this generation whose lives were painfully altered by unnecessary wars. All our talk about "smart bombs" and the success of "the surge" attempts to sanitize the barbarism caused by the Bush Administration. This cartoon cuts to the reality of the mess we made of Iraq. Therefore, I consider it appropriate.
By Apple, November 12, 2008 at 10:55 am Link to this comment This is deeply painful. I hope it's passed all over the web.
By faith, November 11, 2008 at 7:52 pm Link to this comment Mr. Fish's cartoon is gut ripping. Would that it could be front and center on every newspaper in America. Why did McCain/Palin receive one vote this election? The republican party seems to be unable to grasp the reality of just what Mr. Bush's war has cost and I do not mean the trilliion dollars. I mean the 40,000 young people who must live the rest of their lives missing limbs and eyes. The 4500 that have lost their lives, and the half a million Iraqi citizens that have died because of Mr. Bush' and the White House administration policies to attack Iraq without cause. Tragic. Tragic. Unconscionable. |

Although I decorated for Easter a few weeks ago I am just now getting around to showing off pictures of our mantle.
As you will see in the pictures below I have some Longaberger baskets I bring out this time of year, along with some bunny figurines to set around. I also have a swag with pastel colored berries I use on the back part of my mantle as well. Feel free to look around at our decorations.
Then for my dining room table I have a white linen table cloth with a scalloped edge and embroidered pink flowers. In each of the corners of the table cloth there is an embroidered Easter basket with flowers and eggs. For a centerpiece I used a purple glass basket with a chocolate bunny inside. A gold garland and candlestick holders. Obviously I haven't set my table yet, so you will just have to use your imagination as to what it will look like with place settings and food.

I don't think people are entitled to a subjective, personal feeling of safety guaranteed by another body. People are entitled to be left alone if they're not hurting anybody. Chris and I have our differences but open carry is not one of them.
Can anybody tell me what the nature of the ban on applause is? Ordinance, procedural rule, or what?

Steps to Go Green1. ENGINES OFFIt's a popular misconception that leaving your car's engine idle a few minutes saves more energy than turning it off and on when you need it. Turn your car's engine off even if you are thinking about leaving it idle for over 30 seconds waiting to pick up kids from school or other short stops. By idling your car 10 minutes LESS per day, you can keep 550 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air every year. 2. ONE CUP A DAYEvery morning, each member of your family should start out with one cup, which they use all day. This helps them cut down on dirty dishes and reduces the number of times they need to run the dishwasher each week. 3. ONE NAPKIN CAN SAVE BILLIONS OF PAPER WASTEElizabeth Rogers is a working mother who is passionate about our environment. She transformed that passion into The Green Book, a collection of 500 "little things that make a big difference" in changing the environment, Elizabeth says. (Coming June 2007.) One of the simple things that you can do is to reduce your use of paper napkins…by just one a day! "Napkins make a huge difference," Elizabeth says. "We use 2,200 of them a year, per person on average. Six a day. So if we all gave up one napkin a day, we could save a billion pounds of paper waste … from going to landfills a year." 4. ATM RECEIPTSElizabeth says there's an important way you can go green when you're getting the green. Receipts from 8 billion ATM transactions every year are one of the biggest sources of litter on the planet. "If everyone left their receipts in the machine, it would save a roll of paper more than 2 billion feet long—enough to circle the equator more than 15 times," she says.* 5. PLANT A TREEThe average person is responsible for emitting 94 pounds of carbon dioxide every day. It takes four trees, which act as natural air filters, to offset the carbon dioxide each person generates in a month. Check with local nurseries and plant trees where you can here in Stockton. You can also donate online and for each dollar donated, AmericanForests.org plants a tree.* 6. PAPER OR PLASTIC?More than 380 million plastic bags are thrown away in the United States every year, and those plastic bags can take up to 1,000 years to biodegrade in landfills. And while paper bags do eventually biodegrade, an estimated 14 million trees a year have to be cut down to make 10 billion paper bags. The solution? Bring your own 100% cotton tote bags to the store. 7. VAMPIRE ELECTRICITY DRAINMost people don't know that plugged-in appliances and electronics use energy even if they're turned off. Simran Sehti hosts The Green on the Sundance Channel and says, "We're spending all this money to power things that are in the off position. We call it vampire standby power." To cut your electricity costs, Simran suggests plugging in your electronics to the Smart Power Strip, which retails for $32.95. Then, when you turn off the power strip, all the items plugged into it will also power down. Over time, you'll see your monthly electricity bill and your energy usage decrease. 8. BUYING ONE LITER OF WATER USES FIVE LITERS TO PRODUCEWhen you buy one liter of water at the store, you're actually buying about six liters of water, Simran says. That's because when manufacturers make plastic bottles, it takes five liters of water to cool the plastic. To save the resources used in creating all those bottles, get a water filter and a reusable aluminum or plastic bottle and refill your own. One thing to consider if you buy a plastic bottle is its grade. Look on the bottom of the bottle for a small plastic triangle with a number in the middle. If you see a number 2, 4 or 5, the bottle is safe. If it has some other number, don't use it as a water bottle. Those other plastics can make your water taste like plastic and leach harmful chemicals into your body. 9. LIGHTING THE WAY EFFICIENTLYNot so long ago, Americans lit their homes with candles. Thanks to modern technology, you can be almost as environmentally friendly without burning down the house. If every family replaced one bulb with a CFL, Simran says it would be like reducing carbon emissions from 800,000 cars. "I'm asking [America] to have a lightbulb moment and change out one lightbulb!" she says. Replacing regular, inefficient lightbulbs with compact florescent lighbulbs (CFLs) can make a big difference. "Most of the energy in the United States comes from coal-fired plants," she says. "What we're doing when we run inefficient products is we're burning a lot more coal, and we're putting a lot more carbon into the environment." A CFL is 70 to 75 percent more efficient than other bulbs, she says. Florescent bulbs will cost a little more up front, but Simran says you should save money on your electricity bill over time. Plus, these bulbs can last 8 to 10 years! 10. DONATE (RECYCLE) ITEMS TO LOCAL CHARITIESWhy fill our landfills with items that others can use. For example, some have said that it takes 50 years to break down old leather shoes in a landfill. Wouldn't those shoes be put to better use by sharing them with those in need? You bet. The same goes for furniture and other household items that you are no longer using. The Goodwill, Salvation Army, American Cancer Society and others all accept "recycled" items. |
Helpful checklist...Clip this list and put on your refrigerator as a friendly reminder of easy ideas that you and your family can do to make a big difference. |

Jump Rope Girls
Twenty-five years ago, reporting for
The New York Times
, Susan Hartman wrote about a group of girls, who lived on her Brooklyn block. Athletic and graceful, they were expert Double Dutch jumpers, and often performed a rapping, clapping game they called 'cheers'. No matter what was going on in their lives, or on the block -- which became increasingly dangerous as crack hit the city -- they showed up for their games.
A generation later, Hartman did a follow-up cover story, "Jump Rope Girls, 20 Years On," about the amazing young women they'd become.
She has been working on a multi-media project about three of them: Peachie Navarro, who heads a four generation household of women; GeeGee Goodwin, who cares for her three young children; and Elbe Vasquez, who ran away from home at 13, gave birth at 15, and is raising her teenage daughter and young son by herself.
Their Brooklyn neighborhoods - Prospect Lefferts Gardens and Sunset Park - are very much a part of the story. Six award winning photographers and filmmakers have contributed to the project: Nancy Kaye, Peter van Agtmael, Rebecca Norris Webb, Christian Hansen, Carola Mamberto, and Andre Lambertson.
The Jump Rope Girls project has been presented at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, and at the Brooklyn Public Library [
view New York Times article
]. In 2014, it will be exhibited at galleries in New York and abroad.
