Shaun MacDonald insists the Cherries must remain positive ahead of this weekend's game at Reading.
Former Poole Town striker Charlie Austin was on the scoresheet as the Cherries were beaten 3-0 by Queens Park Rangers.
Jason Tindall says a positive result at Loftus Road will help erase some of the memories from the injury nightmare that ended his playing career.

Alaska State Museum Review
This is one of Alaska's finest museums. Those interested in Native cultures will enjoy examining the 38-foot walrus-hide umiak (an open, skin-covered Inupiaq boat). Natural-history exhibits include preserved brown bears and a two-story-high eagle-nesting tree. Russian-American and gold-rush displays and contemporary art complete the collection. Be sure to visit the gift shop (run by the Friends of the Alaska State Museum) and its extraordinary selection of Native art, including baskets, carvings, and masks.

The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker isn't so far off the truth when it comes to our client base. Everyone loves a re-usable bag so we're never too surprised anymore who buys them. The link with food and drink retail is an obvious one. Supermarkets now offer incentives when you bring your own bag for life, even high fashion designer are taking the homble shopper to the next level in the guise of the tote. But you may be surprised to learn that our customers span more than just the food and drinks sectors:
We've found that most of our clients can be grouped into sectors. Each sector has its own priorities, its own reasons to buy jute or cotton bags and even its own kind of bag. See below to find relevant advice and information for your sector. Don't worry if your organisation isn't in any of these categories -- we can still help you!
Our first bags for life customer was a delicatessen. Now no fine food outlet or farm shop is complete without its own jute or cotton bags
The wholesome appearance, hygienic lining and strength of jute bags make them a natural choice for delis and farm shops across the nation. Recently, our washable cotton bags – especially 10oz heavy canvas shoppers - have become very popular too.
Is there a museum without a shop? And is any visitor attraction complete without a bag? Britain's leading heritage sites are increasingly choosing us to supply them with memorable bags for visitors.
The answer to all these questions is No. But let's not be negative! a great visitor attraction or heritage site deserves a great bag. And these days, with so many jute bags in use, that means a bag of exceptional quality and outstanding design.
Our ethically-sourced jute and cotton bags are wildly popular in colleges, universities and schools. Students, staff and visitors all find them useful!
There are so many ways bags can be used in education. From biodegradable school satchels to smart conference document holders, we can help you create high- performance merchandise that fills every need.
Librarians need bags that publicise the library and protect their stock. Jute, juco and cotton bags fit the bill perfectly – and can even help raise funds for your library.
Bags for books – a great combination. Every issue desk in every library gets asked for them, and many still supply free plastic bags. Can this be right?
Charities today have to find ever more ingenious ways to raise funds and publicise their cause. From mega-appeals like Comic Relief to sponsored walks to Saturday cake sales, they all play their part in helping the needy.
Our ethical, green bags have played a vital role in helping non-profit organisations reach their targets.
In the quest for sustainability, the public sector needs to lead the way. It's essential to replace plastic with carbon neutral, biodegradable bags – and it sends out the right message.

How much self-regulation should the supplier and user industries exercise regarding bioplastics, particularly claims of "compostable" and "biodegradable?" There is wiggle room---if one is so inclined---to use those claims self-servingly. At what point, however, do such liberties engender consumer mistrust and regulatory tightening?

Just one line in the guest book at Hotel Thrisangu Haven by noted actor Mammootty says it all. "True to its name" he had written when he stayed here during a visit to Kuttikanam a few months ago.Indeed, the place is totally embraced by nature. "Here there is nothing between you and nature…" says a colorful and beckoning brochure. In fact, so it was for Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, who spent 45 days here at a stretch during a film shoot and "fell in love awesomely with the place." Set at an altitude of 3,850 feet with temperatures that rarely shoot beyond 25 degrees C or dip below 10 degree C during winter, you are always lost in the mist here.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'bcci' tag.
As they say, age does not a wise person make.
Sachin Tendulkar had famously said a couple of days back that Mumbai is for all Indians (or was it a Mumbai Indians pun ?). Bal Thackeray goes for the easy bait :
"There was no need for him to take a cheeky single by making such remarks," Sena mouthpiece Sammana quoted Thackeray as saying.
"By making these remarks, you have got run-out on the pitch of Marathi psyche. You were not even born when the 'Marathi Manoos' got Mumbai and 105 Marathi people sacrificed their lives to get Mumbai," he said.
Anyone wants to take a guess who got run-out here ? You have one chance.
All the Sena had to do was keep quiet about the issue — didn't 50 years of the Congress teach everyone this one small thing ?
It also says :
Thackeray expressed displeasure that Sachin "left the crease" and moved to the pitch of politics by making these remarks which have hurt Marathi sentiment.
If an average person should not talk about politics, who do you think votes leaders into power ? As much as this attitude irks me, I cannot help but admire how politicians want the average person to stay away from politics, except of course during elections.
And now an open letter to all kinds of Sainiks :
Listen up Sainiks, and I mean to say this in the sweetest way possible – You don't mess with Tendulkar. You go around hitting everyone in Mumbai, but you don't mess with Tendulkar. You comply (allegedly) with rioters, but you don't mess with Tendulkar. You dig up pitches, but you don't mess with Tendulkar. You do all the nonsense in the world, but you DON'T mess with Tendulkar.
A minor statistic – you have around 5 million voters. The guy has a billion die-hard fans — and that's only just Indians.
So if it comes down to choosing between you and Tendulkar for Maharashtrians, you stand as much a chance as Warne stands with Tendulkar. As irrational as it sounds, it is true.
So what did you get — you don't mess with Tendulkar.
Yours sincerely,
P.S. : Oh and you also don't mess with the BCCI. Recall the last person who messed with them and isn't messed up now.
Onkar W writes about his experience while attempting to attend the Ranji trophy final at Hyderabad :
We have always heard what a nightmarish experience watching cricket in India is. The whole experience I had today, just reiterated the fact that the most important stakeholder of the game in India – the cricket crazy audience – is the most ignored as well.
The setting was for the Ranji Trophy finals between Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Uppal, Hyderabad. I am currently working in the Hitech city area, that's near Kondapur, a good 30 km from the stadium. During my whole trip to India, I have been trying to catch a cricket match of some sort live at the stadium …..

Watching it on television is no fairytale experience either. For a glimpse of Mandira Bedi you have to stare helplessly at a rapidly balding Charu Sharma. For a Harsha Bhogle you have to bear with the utterly incomprehensible commentary of Arun Lal and Yashpal Sharma who always hunt in a pair to leave no room for escape. And we don't even have anything to compensate for the king of cliches Ravi Shastri and Navjyot Singh Sidhu, whose metaphors at times are like an elephant studying algorithms.
Well, life is tough being a cricket fan in India.

If it's true that you haven't had an authentic post-GFC London experience until you've been in the midst of a student protest, then I have finally qualified.
What started, on the evening of 7th June 2011, as "The Arts in Britain", a conversation at Foyles book store about the state of arts and humanities funding in light of current and impending government cuts…
(Above, L – R: Mick Gordon, A. C. Grayling, Al Senter. Below, far right: Christopher Frayling)
…rapidly descended into a morass of orchestrated heckling from certain vocal members of the audience, before ending with this:
Admittedly, this was mild as student protests go.
A. C. Grayling, as Master and figurehead of The New College of the Humanities, copped an earful from angry students as he tried valiantly to stick to the advertised topic of discussion. To a lesser extent, theatre director Mick Gordon and former Arts Council chairman Christopher Frayling were also under attack, although Frayling did his best to steer the conversation when protesters' insults and interjections made it impossible for the beleaguered Grayling to speak freely. Arts journalist Al Senter, chair of the discussion, largely failed to control the situation.
The recently unveiled New College of the Humanities has been accused of plagiarism of course materials, as well as a general charge of elitism over its £18,000 p.a. tuition fees. Doubts have also been raised about the amount of time big name lecturers will devote to students.
I am a big fan of A. C. Grayling, and whatever the pros and cons of this new higher education venture, I couldn't help feeling sorry for the man. He did attempt to get the event back on track, offering to speak to protesters afterwards and address their concerns. However, a cannister of red smoke caused the evacuation of the venue as soon as the formal discussion ended.
Protesters lingered outside, hoping for a glimpse of their quarry, but he was most likely spirited away by security. They instead busied themselves with media interviews, and heated arguments over the effectiveness of their disruptive intervention.
Will the New College of the Humanities be over before it has even begun?

maybe i woulda been something you'd be good at…
..now we'll never know.
hooray for employment!
i finally got a job. it's just at at a coffee shop but i'm pretty excited. after being jobless for 2 months i'd have quite literally taken anything.
but of course today is also the day I got approved for unemplyment.
of course.
i had to go to my old job today (a daycare) to get something. as i was walking up the road i see a buggy full of kids coming toward me. before i can even see who they are i hear "TRINA!!!"
cue my heart breaking into a million pieces.

URGENT - UN-Netanyahu-Iran-Sanctions
Published 12:38 PM EDT Oct 01, 2013
(CNN) -- "The international community has Iran on the ropes," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday. He called for international sanctions to remain in place to force Iran to halt its nuclear aspirations. "We all want to give diplomacy with Iran a chance to succeed," he said. "But when it comes to Iran, the greater the pressure, the greater the chance."

> If you are on your tod with your project and you refuse to larn new
Well it's lucky then that I'm not driven by numbers isn't it?
I always feel that half the purpose of these crusades to make Linux
more user-friendly, more appealing to the mass-market, desktop-ready,
etc, etc, is to stamp out the small projects created by hobbyists.
They're too untidy when image is everything, and that's the real
reason you don't like Stallman, he has zero mass appeal, and is
passionate about freedom, and the freedoms are what allows the
hobbyists to exist and thrive (to some extent) within the Linux eco
system. Anyway that's just my suspicious feelings.
>>>> Do you think usability architects focus on just usability? No, they
Sorry I was responding like-with-like (a bad habit of mine). I suppose
if I had a greater mental capacity for study I'd find the idea of
studying "everything that is even remotely related to human beings and
the world around us" more plausible, but as it goes, you make it sound
far too heroic... Either that or they're a jack of all trades master
of none. I could try not taking your word for it and find out for
myself what usability studies are all about.
But I can't be bothered.
>> Perhaps you should come up with some usable ideas.
You don't know the half of it.
>>>>> Such activities are much better suited to people with big strong forceful
I'm sure we'll both do our best in both cases :-)

does listening to Radio 4 make you more intelligent?
I've been listening to Radio 4 a lot recently and I swear I've upped my smarts.
I told Mr P that I was definitely getting cleverer via the medium of Woman's Hour and he coughmuttered something along the lines of 'feminist claptrap' and said it wasn't possible to be made smarter just by listening to intelligent people speak.
Yeah, well I disagree.
Studies have found that listening to Mozart makes you cleverer so why not listening to the dulcet tones of John Humphries first thing in the morning? Especially Mr Humphries because he questions everything and we are (I am) so often lulled into a state of, fairly happy, inertia that is in direct opposition to challenging everything we are told.
Perhaps it won't be long before the so called 'Mozart Effect' is attributed to other forms of media as well because lets face it, we are surrounded by noise now more than ever before and the choices we make about what/who we listen too must influence our brain's ability to store or learn new things?
Mr P says that it won't make you more intelligent but it will possibly make you better informed. I agree but being better informed surely equals a short-term boost in the smarts? And surely if you do this every day then you will eventually be turned into a smart arse? Maybe. Maybe not.
This article details eleven ways to boost your IQ although I have to say I'm not keen on IQ as a measure of intelligence and I'm also not keen on some of these measures (erm, drugs people?) but it does say that whatever you do, you must do it often so Radio 4 every day it is then. I am also claiming the title of head brain in this house because item number five clearly states that vegetarians have higher IQs - ha! Beat that thicky meat eaters.
So that is the sum of my argument! I reckon listening to Radio 4 does make you more intelligent and my husband thinks it doesn't.
I do hope you weren't expecting some cleverly constructed debate for and against the subject. Come on loves, I'm a forty-something stay at home mum whose brains were all sucked out by pregnancy and anything left up there gets pickled by my weekly catch-up with the Kardashians!
See ya.

I have always listened to Radio 4, I was an odd teen/student and now I am in late 40s I probably finally fit the demographics! Resenting that it is now very little listening time as family hate it and make it difficult to listen, it's always been a guilty pleasures when alone. I know that pretty much anything I know comes from Radio 4!! FIona x

Pitoniak: Triche Stumbles for SU
SYRACUSE - This is hardly the final chapter Brandon Triche was hoping to author. Never in a million years did Syracuse University's senior guard imagine that he and his teammates would save their worst for last.
But that's the way it's unfolding and time is running out for them to halt this skid. After an 18-1 start, the Orange men have lost six of their last 10, including three straight with Saturday's 58-53 loss to Louisville in front of 31,173 in the Carrier Dome and a national television audience.

Early Civilzation
The word civilization means something beyond "human life" or even "human society." Certain basic elements are necessary to support human life: a source of fresh water, the ability to procure food, and a habitable climate. A civilization is the next step toward social organization. All civilizations have certain common factors.
First and perhaps most important, civilization requires a surplus of food. That means that the people have learned not just to hunt food and gather it but also to plant and grow it. The surplus of food naturally leads to a rise in population and the existence of wealth and disposable income. Society grows more complicated: it organizes itself into classes and begins to build cities. It also becomes literate; all early civilizations had classes of people who could read and write. Advanced human civilizations are also noted for their scientific and artistic achievements. In the field of science, the first sophisticated societies invented the wheel, established the 365-day calendar, and plotted the stars, while their artists created paintings, statues, and jewelry at whose charm and beauty we continue to marvel to this day. The Great Pyramids of Egypt, which still stand after four thousand years, are universally agreed to be one of the great architectural achievements of history.
The first human civilizations all appeared in the same region, which is known as the Fertile Crescent. This area includes present-day Egypt, Pakistan, and Iraq. The presence of rivers, fertile soil, and hot climates combined in this region to make the beginning of human civilization possible.

MARY NOLAN, a freshman at Mount St. Mary College in Newburgh, N.Y., was hanging out in her cramped dormitory room on a recent Wednesday, typing intently on her laptop. She was exchanging instant messages with an online buddy in Chicago when the phone rang. The caller was a friend down the hall, asking Ms. Nolan to come by and talk.
In most places, Ms. Nolan would have had to make a choice: She could quit her online chat or tell her friend she would visit later. But on this tiny campus, just west of the Hudson River, Ms. Nolan did not even think about choosing her friend over her laptop. ''I just took it with me down the hall,'' she said.
As she walked, the computer was still on, her Internet connection was still intact, and messages from her online buddy continued to appear. When she reached her friend's room, she sat on a couch, put the computer on a table and resumed her two conversations.

NGCP tower bombing culprit still anonymous
SAN MIGUEL, Bohol – It's almost a week, authorities remain clueless on who were responsible in the bombing of a power tower of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in barangay Camanaga of this town on early morning of June 24, said information officer Deng Pesquira in an interview. In his text message, Mayor Claudio Bonior yesterday said that he has not received yet any report relative to the incident, neither any lead who were responsible in the blasting of the tower. Police and local officials are still assessing the situation but could not yet pinpoint who are responsible for and what was the motive of the blasting. This is the second time around that a tower of the NGCP is being tried to be toppled. The first one occurred last year when still unidentified perpetrators tried to bring down a tower in hinterland barangay Sta. Catalina, Sagbayan town.
Pesquira said that based on what he learned from neighboring homes that a big bang was heard from the said spot where the tower is located even up to two kilometers away at the dawn of June 24. He said that the tower is now leaning but not totally collapsed due to impact of the explosion. The bomb fragments were brought to PNP laboratory and still being evaluated to determine the kind of the bomb used, he said. Pesquira said that the municipal peace and order council presided over by Mayor Claudio Bonior met last week a day after the bombed detonated to assess the situation. Gov. Edgar Chatto also called on a meeting Monday attended by Mayor Bonior, PNP provincial director Constantino Barot, Jr. and other officials to make assessment on the bombing incident. Pesquira said that authorities concerned are now looking the possibilities, such as handiwork of the rebels or disgruntled persons or lot owners or relatives who are not yet paid of their lots being traversed by the tower powerline, as the motive of the blast. Sketchy report indicated that "disagreements" ensued between the contractors and sub-contractors could be the motive of the detonation. But this could not be independently confirmed by authorities concerned.

CO gets closer to essential health benefit benchmark
Kaiser Health News / Colorado Public Radio, September 17, 2012
Colorado is working harder than most states to meet deadlines under the Affordable Care Act. At the same time, it insists on as much independence as possible in implementing the law. Seeking "Colorado-specific solutions" is actually codified in the bipartisan bill passed last year to establish a state health insurance exchange. To pick its benchmark plan, Colorado formed a working group that included Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, members of the state health exchange board, and its insurance commissioner. The working group now looks ready to submit its choice to the federal Department of Health and Human Services without taking any kind of formal vote.

The modern pentathlon was a men's Olympic sport which started in 1912. In 2000, there was for the first time a Modern Pentathlon competition for women.
Included in the competition are five individual disciplines; shooting, fencing, swimming, riding and running. It is this extraordinary combination that makes the competition so interesting. Since the Olympics in 1996 in Atlanta, these five completely different disciplines have to be held over a single day. At all previous Olympic Games, the competition was usually held over four to six days.
At shooting the athletes have to fire 20 shots on targets that lie 10 metres away within 40 seconds. They have to fence against each other in rounds that run for no longer than 1 minute. If nobody scores within this time frame, then both will be deemed to have lost. At the swimming competition, the athletes have to do 200m in freestyle. However, the greatest surprises await the athletes is the riding competition, due to the fact that the horses are assigned to each athlete by drawing lots. Thus the athletes cannot prepare themselves for one specific horse, but they have instead only 20 minutes to 'become friends' with the horse, in order to manage the subsequent 350-450m long riding course, including 12 obstacles. After this, the athletes have finally still to run 3000m.
Until recently, the Chinese athletes were overall not very successful in Modern Pentathlon at the Olympic Games. Nevertheless, in August 2005 a sensation happened: an Asian athlete won for the first time World championship in Modern Pentathlon. Twenty-six year old Chinese Qian Zhenhua obtained the title in Warsaw in Poland to the surprise of all sports experts. The silver and bronze medals were awarded to two Russian athletes.
After, the Chinese continued successfully in the World Championship and in September 2006 in Cairo they achieved another a title: Cao Zhongrong, Qian Zhenhua, Liu Yang and Liu Yanli won in Team competition.
However, the Chinese athletes could not repeat the previous successes in 2007. Instead, three 'Non-Asians' were awarded medals at the world championship on 14 April 2007: Gabor Balogh from Hungary, Dmyto Kirpulyanskyy from Ukraine and Edvinas Krungolcas from Lithuania.
Thus it remains a case of uncertainty whether China will be successful in the Modern Pentathlon at the next Olympic Games. Although, since the Chinese athletes have previously without any success, even a bronze medal would be enthusiastically received.

HUMBOLDT TOWNSHIP -- The Extremely Low Frequency, or ELF, site has been turned over to Humboldt Township.
The site opened up in the 1980s and served the Navy as a way to communicate with submarines around the world. The Navy vacated the building in 2005 and now the township has taken over. The facility still has showers, electricity and a host of technological equipment.
"We're hitting the ground running. We're really looking forward to it. We've been doing the groundwork on cleanup...when a building sits for seven years, it needs a little tlc, so we're currently in that phase right now so we're getting it up to speed," said Humboldt Township Supervisor Joe Derocha.
The township is still deciding how best to use the site. Options include a community center or disaster relief site. The township plans to have a grand opening ceremony on August 17. US Senator Carl Levin is scheduled to be there for the ribbon cutting.

The writing is on the wall. There is no room for moderates in our current political landscape.
In the House, the moderate Blue Dog Democrats are on the brink of extinction after suffering two major electoral defeats in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary on April 24. In the Senate, two senior Republicans, Dick Lugar (Indiana) and Orrin Hatch (Utah) face credible challenges from the right.
Conventional wisdom says that the polarization of our politics is bad for governing. Pundits and journalists pine for the days when compromises were made across party lines and backroom deals were common.
The 24-hour news cycle and the rise of new media makes an easy scapegoat, but the fact is, our country is finding itself at a critical point in history where compromises are no longer sufficient to address the challenges we face.

Katya sent me this fantastic video produced by Network for Good yesterday:
What a fun video! It clearly demonstrates the need for a changed relationship between donors and orgs, it also demonstrates how easy and inexpensive it is for nonprofits to use videos to make their point very inexpensively and convincingly.
I then saw this interesting post from Niels Teunis who rightly reminds us that email continues to be the killer app (well, technically, it continues to be the killer app only for people over 30, but his point is important.) Niels closes his post with this great advice for communicating with donors via email:
- Ask the recipient to do one thing that day
- Show what that will accomplish
- Tell them what will happen next.
Online donors are not simply donors. They are part of a movement. They want to have a stake in the outcome and that is where the real challenge lies.
Let's extend Niels model a bit further. The goal of using media for social change efforts isn't to use latest gadgetry whenever possible, but to select the best tools available to us that fits the need. Niels' point is that we can't forget to use the tools that most people are comfortable with to connect with them in meaningful ways for social change. So, I'd throw the telephone into the mix, also.
When's the last time your organization picked up the phone to thank your donors, not with an ask in mind, just a thanks for being a part of our community? A few years ago, an organization I was on the board of did just that. Every board member took the names of ten donors and called them. The response was astounding. People were so happy to hear from us, to hear about the work that was going on, and most of all, they were delighted to know that we cared about them as people and not just ATM machines. And many of them, without being asked, wrote checks. Particularly for smaller agencies, now's the time to pick up the phone and call your donors, tell them about the wonderful things you're doing, make sure they're OK, and remind each other that times are tough but the purpose of our work is to build strong relationships with people over time to support our communities.

Type of Document Thesis Author Chandrabalan, Clement Jones Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-08212004-165458 Title Design and Construction of 1 D.O.F Haptic Interface Degree Master of Science Department Mechanical Engineering, Department of Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title CARL A. MOORE Committee Member PATRICK HOLLIS Committee Member RODNEY ROBERTS Committee Member Keywords
- Haptic Interface
Date of Defense 2004-08-17 Availability unrestricted Abstract A haptic interface is a device that accepts as input the motion or force of a humanoperator, and outputs force or motion to the operator based on a computer simulated
(virtual) environment. This thesis describes the design and construction of a one D.O.F
haptic interface. The purpose of the interface would be to study virtual reality simulations,
time delay in telerobotics communication, and virtual surface stability. Three designs
were considered to determine the best choice. The design criteria included specifications
such as low system inertia, imperceptible backlash, high dynamic range, and user comfort.
The detailed parts drawings of the design selected were completed using the Solidworks
Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) package. The parts were machined and assembled in-house
and virtual environments were developed to test the effectiveness of the haptic interface.
Descriptions of the virtual environments and user reactions to them are included along with
possible improvements for the interface design.

Wow, they are sticking with the hard edges? A brave choice, I like it.
It'll be very interesting to see if they can compete with the very high quality and features of present high end models, particulaly Canon's 1D III.
So they're going for the Pro market only, huh?
Where's the built-in flash? Sony is making a mistake by not including one and making a solid Consumer-friendly model of one of these.
The first one has a pop-up flash.
The first one does? Really? OK....
Very good but how musch wil it cost
K: who uses internal flash anyway? I mean, that's not the best option if you can afford DSL you should find some 350-400$ for external flash, imho.

You are here: » Home » Our history » Spirits in Norway » Prohibition
In 1919 a referendum banned the sale of spirits, but wines and fortified wine could still be sold. Norway, however, remained a nation of private stills – the illicit spirit trading flourished; smuggling was rife. Suddenly, a new phenomenon appeared, the so-called "spirits doctors". It was, in fact, quite permissible to buy spirits, but only for medical purposes and when prescribed by a doctor. In 1923 a staggering 1.8 million prescriptions were issued.
In addition, production from home stills soared and distillation apparatus bubbled in both urban and rural districts.
Norway encountered trade policy problems with the wine-producing nations – spirit producers in France, Spain and Italy lost market potential. The authorities eventually recognised that the prohibition created so many major problems that a remedy had to be found. As a compromise measure, it was agreed to establish a state-run monopoly designed to regulate the sale of alcohol. Accordingly, the State Wine Monopoly was established in 1922. The prohibition of spirits lasted right up to 1927, when a new referendum called for it to be abolished.

Quigley to fill open seat
on L.S. Council
Coleman & Hartwell selected as Council
President & Vice President
The Council also tabbed Heather Coleman as the 2007 President and Tom Hartwell for the Vice President position.
A seat on the Council opened up when Little was appointed to fill the remainder of Walty's term on Nov. 6. After considering six applicants and conducting a public interview process, the Council selected Quigley to fill the remainder of Little's elected Council term.
Both are up for re-election next fall, and both have indicated a desire to run.
Next fall's election also played heavily into the decision to appoint Coleman to Council President.
Councilman Neal Dooley, an increasingly persuasive force on the council, questioned the logic of appointing a Council President who was considering running for office in the Fall.
"A concern of mine is this year we have an election for Mayor. If the new council president would like to run for mayor it would be difficult to fulfill that position." Dooley said.
Karen Alessi nominated Coleman, who stated she was not interested in running for mayor. Steve Brooks also indicated that he was not interested in running for mayor
"I do not have any aspirations of being mayor this year. I am very happy being on the Council." Coleman said, a former police officer who currently works at the Snohomish County Planning Department. Steve Brooks, 2006 Council President, was also nominated and was the sole councilmember not to vote for Coleman.
"I am not going to run for Mayor this. Year. I have said that numerous times. My council seat is open for reelection this coming year. I am seriously thinking about rerunning for my council seat I feel it is important to be building teams. I think that campaigning should be an outside activity," Brooks stated.
"I see that there will be many pressures this year. A lot of our elections were uncontested. Being council president during an election year is a lot to ask of someone," Coleman added.
Coleman will head up a Council facing many pending issues, including the updating of the city's Critical Area's Ordinance, the development of the proposed civic center off Grade Road and the continuing annexation push.
The City Council delayed filling the open seat in order to consider candidates from the n ewly annexed Frontier Village area, which joined the City on Dec. 21
Quigley, 46, lives in the Frontier Village annex and is married to former State Senator Kevin Quigley.
She is very interested in projects that are "good for families, good for the environment and good for the community".
I'm very committed to Lake Stevens and am looking forward to help build a strong community", Suzanne said.
Hartwell said the City Council was pleased by the quality of all the applicants.
"We had six outstanding candidates that performed very well. We had a very tough decision to make. I've never seen such a great group of candidates," Hartwell stated.
Hartwell also asked other candidates to continue to support the community on other committees and look into running again at the next election.

The NYPD has confirmed they received a phone call between 4 and 5 am concerning Breezy and Drake's entourages getting into a physical altercation where five were injured. TMZ has the scoop:
Drake & Rihanna Coupled Up in Miami [PICS]
A witness who was inside the club tells TMZ … Chris Brown did NOT send any bottles over to Drake's table, despite several reports to the contrary.
We're told both Brown and Drake had been hanging out in the VIP section … when Drake began pointing and yelling at Brown.
Brown began yelling back … and that's when members of both entourages rushed in and began shoving each other.
With tensions running high, someone threw a bottle — which set the whole thing off … and the shoving turned to punches.
We're told club security rushed in to break up the fight … and called police for backup. Brown and Drake left the scene by the time cops showed up … but several members of their entourages remained at the club. Multiple members of both crews required medical assistance.
We're told the club suffered some serious damage in the fight — including busted up tables, broken mirrors, shattered lighting and glass scratches all over the floors.
Chris Brown and Drizzy were long gone once the cops arrived. Chris later tweeted a pic of his wounded chin with the following tweet:
"How u party wit rich n**** that hate? Lol… Throwing bottles like girls? #shameonya!."
Do we smell a diss track?

Finding a happy parenting medium helps raise happy kids
Parents are inundated with advice from the time the second blue line appears on the pregnancy test, but even with all this knowledge, we don't seem to be raising the happy, independent children one would expect from so much expert attention.
Madeline Levine, a twenty-five-year veteran of clinical work with children, has observed that the most motivated and confident children appear to be the result of the "authoritative" parenting style.
For example:
In a typical experiment, Dr. [Carol] Dweck [of Stanford University] takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle. Most do so with little difficulty. But then Dr. Dweck tells some, but not all, of the kids how very bright and capable they are. As it turns out, the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to tackle increasingly difficult puzzles. They also exhibit higher levels of confidence and show greater overall progress in puzzle-solving.
This may seem counterintuitive, but praising children's talents and abilities seems to rattle their confidence. Tackling more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as "smart" and deprives kids of the thrill of choosing to work simply for its own sake, regardless of outcomes. Dr. Dweck's work aligns nicely with that of Dr. [Diana] Baumrind [of the University of California, Berkeley], who also found that reasonably supporting a child's autonomy and limiting interference results in better academic and emotional outcomes.
We know this just adds more fuel to the fire, so to speak, but it is food for thought.
Just think how nice it would be not to have to write college essays, again.

Does Jenny Craig Work Well?
Without breaking a sweat, without feeling guilty I can answer this question with a simple no. However, it may be a good idea for me to clarify that in my own experience, I can honestly say that the question "does Jenny Craig work well" merits a huge no as an answer.
Does Jenny Craig work well? The How's
So how so I know that it does not work well at all? Well, I am one of the many people who have tried and failed at this program. I followed the plan strictly and religiously. I bought everything that my weight counselor told me to buy even if in the deepest corners of my heart I knew she probably knows zip about fitness and health (which we will talk about later). But I still ended up losing half the weight promised and it left me with a red credit card bill nagging me to pay up.
I also know it does not work because on top of that experience, I just became acquainted with someone who used to be a Jenny Craig employee. I wish I had known my Jenny Craig friend before I signed up, but she came to my life 4 months later. And she told me all the horror stories she had as a "personal fitness coach."
Does Jenny Craig work well?
So what happened in the 5 months I was under the plan? Well, aside from bleeding my wallet dry, I had to follow this diet plan and eat only the prepackaged foods and some fruits. Some items were palatable, like the sandwich (at $6 a pop, they should be) and the muffin. But most of them, like the beef and potato that was all potato and the soups that seemed watered down to me were a hell to eat.
Then I had to eat these meals that came in servings fit only for an ant queen as the serving sizes were so small, after an hour of walking around (I am a supermarket store manager so I walk around lots in a day), I end up craving for food and calories.
Then when I turn to my "personal fitness coach," she would only end up pitching me to buy more Jenny Craig food items! And later, I found out through my friend who was a former Jenny Craig employee that they did undergo this training abut health and fitness and about motivating the customers to lose weight, but they end up forgetting about it because they are really more geared to selling their items. And to further "motivate" them to sell, they get fired if they do not meet the quota. Truly a terrible "motivation" for someone who is geared to "motivate" us to lose weight and be healthy.
Does Jenny Craig work well? Let's find out…
If someone answers the question "does Jenny Craig wok well?" with a yes, I would say good for you and enjoy spending $100 a week for the rest of your life and eating rabbit servings forever. Because the only plan that worked for me is the Fat Loss 4 Idiots plan and it made me lose a whopping "11 pounds in 9 days."

Need to make good decisions: Kirsten
Colombo, Oct 1: South Africa are yet to open their account in the Super Eights and will be keen to register a win when they take on India later today. With the likes of Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, JP Duminy, Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel in their line-up, Gary Kirsten's wards were touted to be one of the best-equipped sides to make it to the 2012 ICC World Twenty20 final. However, the de Villiers-led team has not been able to live up to expectations.
Ahead of their last game in the Super Eights, coach Gary Kirsten assessed South Africa's performance while speaking to the media.
Excerpts from Kirsten's press conference:
On South Africa's performance so far in the series
We need to make good decisions. In both the games – against Pakistan and Australia – we were trying to win the games and then we let it slip. We haven't played well enough in the key moments of the game. We had Pakistan at 76 for seven; we should've won that game. It has been disappointing. We had tough batting situations in which we lost three wickets very early, but in both those games we batted deep and well to get to a good competitive total. I thought in the second game, against Pakistan, 150 was a par score and we got 146. But it is a bit disappointing that we had opportunities to close a game out and we didn't do that.
On whether his prior knowledge of the Indian team could be put to use in the upcoming game
There is enough information out there for every player to be analysed at length. There is enough on television, and there is the IPL. I don't think we have something unique to offer these South African players; they play with these players a lot. The focus of our attention is not on them, it is on what we need to do in the next game.
On South Africa's top three batsmen not being among runs in the Super Eights
If something doesn't click in your team, it is a cause for concern. But you have to trust players, you got to back them and believe in them. We have enough skill in our batting line-up and we have seven batsmen on this tour. They have shown that they are capable of playing quality innings in big games and we've got to believe in them that they can do it. There is no reason why they can't; they are all high quality players. They have produced runs in different situations around the world.
On whether they have problems dealing with left-arm spinners given that Raza Hasan and Xavier Doherty both bowled successfully against them
I wouldn't say so. We are used to playing left-arm spinners. Just because we lost a few wickets, it doesn't mean that. The first six overs have been tough to plan at the Premadasa Stadium with the odd one gripping. It is about really about understanding the conditions and decoding them.
On the in-form Virat Kohli
He is a great player and we have always known that. He is probably one of the standout batsmen in the world at the moment and we all know what he is capable of doing. He is one of those X factor cricketers that other teams want to get out because he is not going to get out himself. He doesn't throw his wicket away. I am pleased for Virat. He has worked hard on his game and he is showing that he is one of the premier batsmen in the world at the moment.

Iwasaki received her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and Physics in 1994 and her doctoral degree in Immunology in 1998, both at University of Toronto, Canada. She joined the laboratory of Brian Kelsall at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, where she studied dendritic cells in the mucosal immune system. In 2000, Iwasaki started her own independent laboratory as an assistant professor at Yale University. Now a professor in the Department of Immunobiology, she also holds a secondary appointment in the Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology.
Iwasaki's main interest is understanding the mechanisms by which viruses are recognized by the host innate immune system, and how such recognition pathways lead to the generation of adaptive immunity. Her research has identified the mechanisms by which Toll-like receptors (TLR) recognize DNA and RNA viruses within the endosomes. Flavell explains that "Iwasaki's group was first to demonstrate that DNA viruses are detected by TLR9, which was the first demonstration of in vivo function of TLR9 and the first demonstration of viral recognition by TLRs in plasmcytoid dendritic cells." Her research program has also provided key molecular insights into the intracellular mechanisms involved in TLR-mediated viral recognition, by identifying the role of autophagy and adaptor proteins in trafficking of viral ligand and receptors to the appropriate endosomes. Her research has also led to the identification of tissue dendritic subsets that orchestrate various aspects of adaptive immune responses to viruses, including herpes simplex virus and influenza. "Within the field of herpesvirus-immunology, Iwasaki's work is notable for its quality and completeness. Her research work is original, high impact, and innovative," says Herbert Virgin, Washington University School of Medicine. Iwasaki's research has also shed light on the role of NOD-like receptors (NLR) in linking innate viral recognition to adaptive immune response against influenza virus infection. This process is aided by endogenous bacteria, which trigger priming signals for NLR-dependent cytokine responses.
Iwasaki's work has been widely recognized. In 2000, she received the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award in Biomedical Sciences, which supported her transition from a postdoc to an independent scientist. In 2003, she was awarded the Wyeth Lederle Young Investigator Award from the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the Women's Health Program Investigator Award from the Ethel Donaghue Foundation for her work on genital herpes infection. She was named the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Investigator in Pathogenesis in Infectious Diseases in 2005, and received the BD Biosciences Investigator Award from the American Associations of Immunologists in 2011.
"Iwasaki is highly accomplished, imaginative, and is already an intellectual driving force in the area of viral immunology and the role of autophagy in virus infection," summarizes Virgin. "She is an outstanding scientist and colleague."

"I'm very excited to have Andrew Short on board and riding for our team" says BTO Sports owner Vince Arimitsu. "This brings the BTO Sports KTM team to another level with two solid riders in the top ten"
Andrew Short will begin racing with the BTO Sports next week at the Atlanta Supercross.

The Conversation
5 bucks says he doesn't ask to ride the 350
Wow. good luck Shorty. i think its pretty damn obvious that the ktm and yamaha are just not up to par this year. I guess when your owed hundreds of thousands of dollars you will take whatever support you can.
Yeah that KTM sucks all right. Winning races and being 2nd in points isn't a place anyone wants to be in.
Ill bet just about anything , he finishes about the same place he has been.... Six thru tenth....
Thank you BTO Sports! Shorty will give you his all and will make a great spokesperson for your company.
The 2013 KTM 450 may be the best production 450 this year, according to all the magazine tests. I hope Shorty does well in it. But Honda sure lost a great opportunity. They should have paid him a ton of money to continue to get good results in an almost box stock Honda.
Twotwo Motorsports had an awesome oppurtunity to sign Short but who knows why they didn't. He's beating Reed in points and was already on the factory Honda. BTO's gain I say, they get a well spoken rider and he get's to practice with K-Roc again.
Clarifacation: When Short had Chapperal sponsorship, he was on the factory Honda this year.
@rjstreets are you all right.Reed has 20 more points than Short.Reed never tried to sign Short.Your comments make no sense.
wesmx what an ignorant comment. Good luck on the new Ride Shorty, you will have an awesome machine with great support!
Short will be good on the Katoom, that is what we used to call them a long time ago. He is a good spokesman for any team also! KTM is flooding the show just like Yamaha is trying to do.
Money and resources are in short supply for everything right now. Unless your a politician in the Federal Government.
No pun intended
I've always loved Shorty. Props to BTO/KTM for signing him. At the same time, pretty disappointed in Honda. Shorty was always great on a Honda, and he seemed very loyal to them. It looks like they just flat ignored his existence. Not sure why.
+1, big props to BTO for putting this together mid-season. My next order will be with BTO just to show some support. :)
Goerke's been killing it too!
That is great news to hear BTO stepped up to team up with Andrew. Hopefully this will lead to something more down the road. Stay healthy Andrew and we wish you all the best for the remainder of the series, and maybe for the summer too.
Whoops: So, this (is) for the outdoors as well. And I forgot to add thanks to KTM also.
"Oh Happy Day!!!"
Glad to see him back on a KTM, especially since the 450 is totally different from the one he chose the 350 over. He did, however, finish 6th on the 350 in one of the most stacked seasons ever in 2011. What happened to Geico Honda's vacant KW14 slot? That would've been a great fit for him, too, and made a lot of sense.
Bang your dead MOFO !
great to see Shorty on a good ride.
Good luck
wesmx, surely you jest!! KTM is 2nd in the 450 class and leads the 250 west class. I will say this. I am a huge Shorty fan (who isn't?) but his results will stay the same. I am just glad he has a way to pay the bills and get to the races. Would love to see him break into the top 5 at some point though.
Great news to hear Shorty can continue racing through out the year, thanks to BTO!
I see they dropped the BBR name, is Forrest Butler still with the team? I see no mention of him on their website.He built that team.
Stoked to see Shorty get a ride, he deserves it for sure! Hope he can get comfy on the KTM quickly!
It's real disappointing that L&MC; and JWR hired riders when they did not have the budgett to make it to the end of the season. In saying that props to Pro Circuit and BTO for saving the year for Wilson and Short.
Shorty gets to ride with K-Roc AND Dungy!!!! And Don't forget Shorty was top 3 every week in ( what was it ) 08? ( before Honda neglected to sign him then, he went to KTM)
Honda didn't sign Shorty solely because of Tomac riding the big bikes next year. ( IMO ) I think you're going to hear about a bidding war over that kid between GEICO and factory Honda. ( won't that be a stacked team! )
But, on the other hand, KTM will have Dungy, K-Roc, and Shorty. I think they are sending Musquin home next year.
Yamaha seems to be the odd team out.....again!
smiph: You asked, " What happened to Geico Honda's vacant KW14 slot?"
I can answer that question with 2 letters: E T
Fired up about this! How can you not root for a guy like Short? Best wishes and I hope that bike fits...
This is great news - hoping for many good rides from Shorty. As for the KTM 350, it is obvious by now that KTM was detuning that engine for 2011 and 2012. What made it to the production line wasn't a good indicator of what bike can do. The 2013 is finally uncorked and makes more HP than the CRF450. So the bike is capable, but you still have to wring the snot out of it.

Surprise! Guess what I did? Last month... I got my first ever tattoo!
I was home in New York visiting my family, and on a whim, my cousin Amanda and I went to the tattoo shop my mom and uncle. I needed my mom for moral support, and my Uncle Bob (dad's brother, Amanda's dad) has the most tattoos in the family. So I definitely wanted him there!
I've always wanted a wrist tattoo. I know it's a bit taboo for some, but I've always loved them and thought them to be so dainty. I wanted a word, but it had to be meaningful. So what better a word than grace? Not only is it a family name, my middle name, and my business name... it's also a word, with a whole lot of meaning.
I chose to get it in the font that I selected for my business logo (and upcoming new blog design)! I love this font to death, and I didn't just pick it out of a book. I researched it for months, then carefully chose it for all of my stationery and correspondence. Yay!
Amanda also got her 4th tattoo, the word breathe on her wrist. I was with her for her first tattoo on her 18th birthday a few years ago, so it was only fair that she was there with me for mine. Husband even understood, and wasn't at all upset he wasn't with me. Such a great guy!
