The Adena Local Board of Education agreed Tuesday to form a committee in an attempt to resolve an issue about bus maintenance services for the district.
Currently, the district has two vendors that do maintenance work, but board members said the issue primarily stems from keeping track of costs. They noted that more documentation is needed from Shawn Harper, of Harper's Garage, to be more accountable with the district's money. The second vendor the district uses is Edwin Davis & Sons.
Superintendent Dave Warren also expressed concern that Harper wasn't returning phone calls, but Harper ...

(The following press release from Nokia Siemens Networks was received by e-mail. It was not confirmed by the sender.) Press Release Santiago de Chile, Chile – February 21, 2013 Movistar Chile selects Nokia Siemens Networks for LTE and 3G expansion #MWC13 Customers in key areas will benefit from higher speed and increased capacity Nokia Siemens Networks is implementing the 4G, LTE (Long Term Evolution)* (http://www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/portfolio/products/mobile-broadband/long-te rm-evolution-lte/lte-references) network for Movistar Chile operating in the 2.6 GHz frequency band. The contract covers the capital area, Greater Santiago, with close to six million inhabitants, as well as other cities such as Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. Nokia Siemens Networks is also expanding Movistar's 3G network to meet the ever-increasing capacity needs of its mobile broadband customers. The contract with Movistar is a continuation of Nokia Siemens Networks' successful work with Telefónica around the world. In 2011, the company signed an LTE contract with Telefónica (O2) in Germany (http://www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/news-events/press-room/press-releases/telef onica-o2-germany-selects-nokia-siemens-networks-as-a-network-technology-partner-for-l), and in 2012 for Telefónica (O2) in the United Kingdom (http://www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/news-events/press-room/press-releases/nokia -siemens-networks-prepares-o2-s-network-for-lte-in-the-uk). "Introducing the LTE network will give the best possible mobile broadband experience to our customers" said Gustavo Marambio, CTO at Movistar Chile. "Nokia Siemens Networks has been our trusted mobile broadband technology vendor for a decade and we are excited to continue our successful collaboration with this new LTE contract and the expansion of our 3G contract." "Enabling high-speed mobile broadband for customers while increasing network capacity and controlling costs is at the heart of the solution we are delivering to Movistar Chile", said Angelo Guerra, Country Director for Chile at Nokia Siemens Networks. "Movistar will be able to deliver superior customer experience in main areas of Chile." Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks is implementing its high-capacity and award-winning Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station** (http://www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/portfolio/products/mobile-broadband/single-ran-advanced/flexi-multiradio-10-base-station), Node B base station capacity expansions and, in addition, Radio Network Controller (RNC) expansion. By using Flexi Multiradio 10 Base Station, Movistar Chile can upgrade its site to 2.6 GHz LTE while saving time, space and power consumption – all translating to a lower total cost of ownership. To enable consolidated configuration, monitoring, and network optimization across technologies, the contract includes an upgrade of the Operations Support System (OSS) and NetAct (http://www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com/portfolio/products/operations-support-syste ms/netact) network management system. To ensure a smooth rollout as well as optimal network operation, the agreement also includes network optimization and care services.

To share your thoughts on the topic, join the discussion with @NokiaSiemensNet (http://twitter.com/NokiaSiemensNet) on Twitter using #mobilebroadband and #LTE. About Movistar Chile Telefónica Chile markets its products and services in Chile through a single brand, Movistar, and operates with its subsidiaries Telefónica Chile SA (fixed broadband, digital TV and fixed telephony) and Telefónica Móviles Chile SA (mobile telephony and mobile broadband). Movistar counts today with the largest community of users in Chile. Recently Movistar Chile was awarded with the fourth place of a "Great Place to Work" and also won the first place in the ranking of "Business for working mothers and fathers".

Type-based logos, also known as logotypes and wordmarks, are a powerful way to define the style of your brand. Creating your own custom lettering (instead of using a pre-built font) is your opportunity to make something truly unique.
Whether you need to design custom lettering for a company logo, a t-shirt, advertising, or your own personal brand, I'll show you how to find inspiration, sketch out your rough ideas, refine your design and bring it into the computer. From there, you will learn how to create color options and add in some shading and texture.
In the class, I'll walk you through how to start from (chicken) scratch to create this logo. After that, it's your turn to find your own style and show the world what you can make!
There are two ways to enroll in this class:
1) Typographic Logos on Udemy (50% off with this link)
*Only if you enroll in Typographic Logos hosted by Udemy, will you have access to these Bonus Downloads:
• 26 Bitmap Textures to use in Illustrator
• 26 Photoshop Brushes to add texture to your own designs
• A collection of Vector Halftone Gradients
• The finished "Typographic Logos" design in vector format
• Banners 02 (36 Vector Banners)
• Distressed Borders (30 Vector Borders)
• Fabric Textures & Brushes (25 Bitmap Fabric Textures & Photoshop Brushes)
• Page Rules (25 Ornamental Vector Dividers)
• Time Machine Textures (40 Bitmap Textures & Photoshop Brushes)
• Vector Textures (25 Vector Textures)
Please note: all the free downloads come with an Extended License which means you can use them in personal AND professional design projects. (These free downloads would cost over $400 if purchased separately.)
2) Typographic Logos on Skillshare
Enrolling in Typographic Logos on Skillshare does not include the Bonus Download files mentioned above. But when you sign up for a Skillshare membership, you have access to their whole catalog of classes in design, entrepreneurship, etc. (My favorites so far are Jeff Staple's class on building a fashion business and Aaron Draplin's class on designing a family crest.)

Her answer to the dilemma? Roast rack of lamb with pomegranate sauce and potato cauliflower gratin with Gruyere cheese.
"This is an opportunity of a lifetime to meet and serve some of the most powerful women in the world," said Zov. "I am up for the task and look forward to the opportunity."

Denard Span assessed the situation and decided to roll the dice.
With the Nationals locked in a tie game and doing their best to give away the contest, Span knocked an obvious single into right field and had one thought: get to second base. He did, taking the Chicago Cubs by surprise and — after a replay review to see if Span had really made it past a sweep tag — teammate Ryan Zimmerman eventually drove him in with a sharp base hit to left field in a 2-1 Washington victory.
"I knew it was going to take a perfect throw to throw me out," Span said. "I just trusted my instincts and just went for it. A little risky."
And so on an afternoon when the Nats played anything but crisp baseball — runners left stranded, bunt attempts missed, outs made on the base paths, a rare shaky effort from the bullpen — they found a way to win anyway. Starting pitcher Jordan Zimmermann helped, gritting his way through six innings when he didn't think he'd even make it to the fifth after a rough start. Chicago had at least one single in every inning against Zimmermann, but none went for extra bases and he only walked one batter. And so he left the game with Washington ahead 1-0.
"I think [Zimmermann has] found his slider, and it gives him another weapon," Nats manager Matt Williams said. "He didn't throw it great today. He used fastballs today. But I think since he's found the feel for it, he's been able to locate with it, get down in the zone with it. Certainly get some early outs with it."
The Nats (48-39) are a season-high nine games over .500 now after taking two of three games from the Cubs at Nationals Park this weekend. They also finally gained a game in the standings on the streaking Atlanta Braves (49-39), who remain a half-game ahead in the NL East after a 3-1 loss to Arizona on Sunday afternoon.
"We have to worry about our own games," Williams added. "We can't do anything about what [Atlanta is] doing or how they're playing or any of that. We just need to make sure we play our games until we get a chance to face them. We can't have any impact on what they do. All we can do is try and win ours."
But there's no question Washington wants to win games in a more convincing manner than they did against the Cubs. Zimmermann gave his teammates a chance by working out of trouble.
"Fastball command wasn't there really the whole game," Zimmermann said. "I feel behind hitters early and wasn't able to throw first-pitch strikes. Guys got on base and I had to work out of a few jams. Other than that I threw the ball well. Pitch count got up a little high on me and I had to try to get some quick outs the last couple innings."
But his batters grounded into two double plays and left six other runners stranded on base. Reliever Drew Storen was charged with just his second blown save of the season after allowing a Chicago run in the seventh to tie the game at 1-1.
The Nats had manufactured their lone run in the first inning after Span doubled, went to third on a ground out and scored on another infield grounder by Jayson Werth. That was it for the offense until Zimmerman's go-ahead single in the eighth. Chicago starter Jake Arrieta gave up just four hits in six innings, though he did walk three batters. He's in the midst of a career year at age 28 with a 1.78 ERA.
"[Arrieta is] really tough on right handers. He's right on the third-base side of the rubber. It seems like the ball starts behind you," Zimmerman said. "He's really starting to command that cutter a lot better than he has in the past. He's always had good stuff, but I think being able to throw that cutter the way he throws it for strikes and then you can't really not look for the fastball. He's got a 95 mile-per-hour fastball. If you're not looking for that there's no way you can touch it."
So the offense was shackled for most of the day. But even on Washington's go-ahead run, there was a misplay. Adam LaRoche cost the team an opportunity for an insurance run when he tried to take third base on Zimmerman's hit. Span was headed home easily; there was no need to try to protect him by drawing a throw. Instead, the Cubs conceded the run and took the easy out with LaRoche caught between second and third. Bryce Harper would have batted with runners at first and second.
Even Zimmermann was not immune when he couldn't get runners at first and second over with a bunt attempt in the fifth inning. Worried about Cubs first baseman Antony Rizzo playing so close, Zimmermann was trying too hard to put a perfect bunt down the line at third. Instead, he fouled out. Two batters later Arrieta had escaped the jam and the lead was still just 1-0.
On a day where Washington wanted to feel good about a victory, it was another sign that there is still work left to do to become the team the Nats want. And yet they are 5-1 during this homestand. That's how high expectations are this season.

A captivating history of one of the world's most iconic and mysterious flowers Bewitched by a lotus which flowered from three-thousandyear- old seeds in his English garden, Mark Griffiths set out to track the origins and significance of this sublime plant in this beautifully-illustrated book. The Lotus Quest takes Griffiths from the headquarters of the Linnaean Society in London to a mountain top in northern Japan. As he travels in search of this ancient flower, Griffiths looks at the lotus's significance in ancient Egypt and India, the plant's medicinal uses and the inspiration it has provided to Western artists. As he tracks the plant, its story unveils a stunning vision of Japan's feudal era with visits to shrines, ruins, gardens and wild landscapes as well as meetings with priests and archaeologists, philosophers and anthropologists, gardeners and botanists, poets and artists. He even dines on the lotus in a Tokyo cafe. By the end of Griffiths' journey, when he reaches the hauntingly beautiful Japanese temple of Chuson-ji, readers will finally understand why the lotus has obsessed people throughout the ages.

I used these to file out some countersunk slots in a plate of Ti-6Al-4V. The slots were originally for #4 screws and I needed them to fit #6 screws.These files did the job handily and Titanium is very difficult to work with (especially grade 5). Highly recommended.The case isn't too fancy, but serves its purpose.

I don't know which was more embarrassing: Barack Obama trying to bully the Supreme Court - again - or The Washington Post trying to clean up after him.
Warning the court not to rule against Obamacare, Mr. Obama said it would be an "unprecedented, extraordinary step" of judicial activism. He chided conservatives for long complaining about judicial activism, "that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law."
Because this hasn't ever happened at the Supreme Court, according to the man who lectured about constitutional law at the University of Chicago, court watchers must have been smoking something since 1803, when Chief Justice John Marshall established judicial review in Marbury v. Madison.
Mr. Obama knows all about judicial activism. He's fine with the court's Roe v. Wade (1973) decision creating a "right" to abortion and overturning all abortion laws, a ruling Justice Byron White called "an exercise of raw judicial power." Mr. Obama's Justice Department is working to have a court overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, which passed in 1996 with overwhelming, bipartisan majorities.
His warning to the court was a shocker, and The Washington Times and Wall Street Journal ran it on their front pages above the fold. Not so The Washington Post, which relegated this mighty clash of the federal branches to Page A5. Writer David Nakamura noted that "Obama made his argument in unusually blunt language that was rare for a sitting president." Indeed. Even Franklin D. Roosevelt, who threatened to "pack the court" when it wouldn't rubber-stamp his New Deal, didn't dare explicitly claim the court could not overturn legislation that it found unconstitutional. Or maybe he did and Mr. Obama is channeling him.
The next day, Mr. Obama did some damage control with help from his friends. In an editorial headlined "A more judicious view," The Post summarized Mr. Obama's clarification: "He made clear that he was not questioning the court's power to strike down a statute, just that exercising it in this situation, involving Congress' ability to regulate commerce, would be remarkable."
Oh, that's what he meant. The Post then gently chided Mr. Obama like a rambunctious child, advising him, "Given the power of the bully pulpit, presidents are wise to be, well, more judicious in commenting about the high court."
Yes, sounding like a president instead of a frustrated Caesar would be better.
In 2010, Mr. Obama bullied the court in front of the nation during his State of the Union address, brazenly mischaracterizing the justices' Citizens United ruling. He had Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius bully pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies that wouldn't knuckle under to Obamacare. He has made a sport of bullying Israel. He is bullying the oil companies and crushing the coal industry. Recently, he sent Hillary Rodham Clinton around the world to bully nations that won't buy the homosexual political agenda.
The other day, he even bullied journalists at his fawnathon press conference, telling them how to report. Face it, folks. America elected a bully in 2008, and he shows no sign of mellowing.
Mr. Obama has stepped on the Constitution six ways from Sunday since the day he took power. Speaking of Sunday, Mr. Obama once again made Christians suspicious of his professions of faith when he told a group of clergy on Wednesday, according to CNS News, that Easter reminds us of "all that Christ endured - not just as a Son of God, but as a human being."
"A Son of God," not "the Son of God." It could have been a slip of the tongue, or perhaps it revealed more than he intended. The New Testament says God has only one Son, and it's Jesus Christ, through Whom "all things were made" (John: 1:3).
I'd be inclined to give Mr. Obama the benefit of the doubt, because everyone misspeaks, but he has let slip other clues before and after gaining the bully pulpit.
On Sept. 5, 2008, on ABC television, Mr. Obama answered a question from former Clinton press secretary George Stephanopoulos with the line, "You're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith." Mr. Stephanopoulos quickly saved Mr. Obama by noting that he meant to say his "Christian" faith.
Three times in 2010, Mr. Obama omitted the words "by their Creator" when reciting the passage about unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence. In November 2010, he said the national motto was "E pluribus unum" (out of many, one) instead of "In God We Trust."

Federal law (45 C.F.R. part 46) governs human subject research, including any research in which stem cells would be tested on patients as well as any research in which patients would donate embryos for the derivation of stem cell lines. That means that IRBs must approve any stem cell research involving human subjects, including the consent documents used to derive the lines and the methods employed to conduct the research, to ensure that the scientific goals are ethical and beneficial.
2. Additional layers of oversight are present in all federally funded research universities such as the University of Michigan.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research Oversight Committees (ESCRO committees) were created at research institutions, under guidance from the National Academy of Sciences, to oversee all aspects of pluripotent stem cell research, including all research conducted in laboratory dishes, and all research conducted in patients. This also provides an additional layer of oversight, beyond that provided by IRBs as noted above, over the derivation of stem cell lines. ESCRO committee approval is therefore required for all experiments performed with embryonic stem cells. These oversight committees (IRB and ESCRO) are composed of scientists, physicians, ethicists, lawyers, and members of the community.
3. Private research in companies is also regulated.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates research done at
private companies toward the development and testing of any medical
product, and imposes similar regulations to ensure that such research is
performed ethically. For this reason, companies generally establish their
own in-house IRB c

AFRICAN dancers and rock, reggae and marching bands arrived in East Oxford yesterday for the Cowley Road Carnival.
Last year more than 35,000 people joined in the carnival and this year tens of thousands of people enjoyed the party in the sunshine.
More than 730 primary school children, brass band players, religious and political groups danced and chanted in a parade from The Plain roundabout to St Mary and St John Church, from 2pm to 3pm.
Leading the way were children from Pegasus Youth Theatre and their life-like Mini robot puppet inspired by Oxford's Mini plant – the carnival's main sponsor.
At their head was nine-year-old Elsie Tyrrell who had said she had never led a procession before and was "very excited".
As she joined the parade with her students, Pegasus Theatre manager Yasmin Sidhwa said: "It is an amazing experience, so many young people walking, being watched and enjoying all the fun. The theme this year is faces of Oxford, and we are the face of Oxford."
Al-Amin grocery store manager Nazim Uddin and his assistant Samad Ali made a killing selling tropical jack fruit.
Mr Uddin, 31, said: "It's been fantastic – a great day.

"The carnival brings everyone together. Oxford is a multicultural city anyway, but this shows off different culture, different vibes, different music _ things you wouldn't normally see."
- Al-Amin grocers manager Nazim Uddin and assistant Samad Ali sell jack fruit
More than 35 street traders helped fund the carnival organising committee Cowley Road Works, which raised a total of £100,000 to ensure the carnival went ahead.
The road was closed from 8am and bands performed at the Corridor club, the City Arms, The Cape of Good Hope and other stages from midday.
George Hopkinson, 28, travelled from London to see the carnival for the first time with friends from Oxford.
Mr Hopkinson, who works in marketing, said: "It's so nice to see loads of new stuff you wouldn't normally see and everyone get together."
Oxford City Council donated £30,000 to the carnival.
Council leader Bob Price, who watched the parade with wife Joanna and daughter Isabelle, 13, said: "The quality of the parade and all the bands is the best it has ever been.
"We always get good weather by not doing it the same weekend as Glastonbury."
Among the parade's dancers was 19-year-old student Sandra Dipate, from Oxford, who was inspired by last year's carnival to organise her own All Around Africa troupe.
- All Around Africa dancers Cynthia Wangwe, Sandra Dipate and Anesu Wazara
Miss Dipate, originally from Botswana, said: "The carnival is all about embracing cultural diversity, but last year I realised there weren't actually that many groups from Africa so I made a dance group."
Performers from the East Oxford Culturevators project made polar bear heads to wear in the parade and carried a life-size polar bear model, inspired by Oxford author Philip Pullman's Northern Lights trilogy.
Helen Jacobs, 35, said: "We wouldn't miss this for the world."
Procession organiser Anya Fox said: "I love the carnival because there are so many kinds of people.
- Anya Fox
"It's all about the heart and soul of this area, more than any other show I do."
The carnival was first held in 2001 when it attracted just 500 people.
It was cancelled in 2006 and in 2011 was held in South Park.

On June 28, 2012, the Supreme Court issued its decision in a trio of cases which challenged the constitutionality of certain provisions in the Affordable Care Act. Ultimately, a majority of the justices concluded that the Act's "individual mandate" was not authorized by the Commerce Clause. At the same time, though, a different majority of the justices concluded that the provision was within Congress' power to "lay and collect taxes." Art. I, §8, cl. 1. The Affordable Care Act therefore has survived its primary constitutional challenges.
In its decision, the Court was careful to withhold comment on the wisdom of the means Congress selected to pursue its goal of increasing the number of Americans covered by health insurance. In fact, each of the justices joined in an opinion which professed in some way that such policy questions were not for the Court to decide. To be sure, the public remains divided in its support for the legislation, and the national election in November 2012 is likely to spark further debate about whether to expand, contract or otherwise substantively change the Affordable Care Act. In the meantime, the Affordable Care Act still promises to have a profound impact on health insurers, employers and virtually every American citizen.
An understanding of the Affordable Care Act's main provisions and the key changes for which they call therefore is essential to the advice we can provide to our clients.

Swimmer and movie star Esther Williams dead at 91
FILE - This May 1950 file publicity photo originally released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer shows Esther Williams on location for the film "Pagan Love Song. According to a press representative, Williams died in her sleep on Thursday, June 6, 2013, in Beverly Hills, Calif. She was 91. (AP Photo/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, file)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — As a teenager, Esther Williams dreamed of Olympic glory on the U.S. swim team.
She had to settle instead for becoming a movie star.
The self-described "Million Dollar Mermaid," whose wholesome beauty, shapely figure and aquatic skills launched an entire genre of movies — the Technicolor "aqua musicals" — died Thursday at 91. She was remembered for her Hollywood fame but also her influence on fashion and on synchronized swimming, the Olympic sport inspired by her cinematic water ballet.
Williams followed in the footsteps of Sonja Henie — who went from skating champion to movie star — and became one of Hollywood's biggest moneymakers after she lost the chance to compete in the Olympics when they were canceled due to the onset of World War II. She appeared in glittering swimsuit numbers that featured towering fountains, waterfalls, pools, lakes, slides, water skis and anything else that involved water.
"The girl you will dream about!" raved the 1944 trailer for "Bathing Beauty," the first big aqua musical. It showed a smiling Williams posing in a bright pink one-piece suit with the pointy chest popular at the time, a matching pink bow in her hair.
Co-starring Red Skelton, the show was first called "Mr. Coed." But MGM executives changed the title when they realized how big the actress was going to be during filming, according to a biography on Williams' website.
"No one had ever done a swimming movie before," Williams said later. "So we just made it up as we went along. I ad-libbed all my own underwater movements."
That film was followed by many more. "It appeared as if I had invited the audience into the water with me," Williams said, "and it conveyed the sensation that being in there was absolutely delicious."
Such films as "Easy to Wed," ''Neptune's Daughter" and "Dangerous When Wet" all followed the same formula: romance, music, a bit of comedy and a flimsy plot that provided excuses to get Williams in the water.
"They were the ultimate example of Hollywood escapism," says film historian Leonard Maltin. "To their endless credit, the studio seized upon this asset — a beautiful, graceful woman — and figured out a way to make her a movie star."
Williams' film extravaganzas dazzled a second generation via television and the compilation film "That's Entertainment." Her co-stars included the pick of the MGM contract list, including Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Skelton, Ricardo Montalban and Howard Keel.
She also was a favorite swimsuit pinup for GI's in World War II, and a refreshing presence among MGM's stellar gallery — warm, breezy, with a frankness and self-deprecating humor that delighted interviewers.

Gentleman was so helpful he changed our booking to double room (only had twin when I booked earlier) and ensured we were not near any wedding noise.
He gave a great impression of the hotel, in which we enjoyed staying.

somewhat disappointed
Sadly the rooms are not noise proof you hear your neighbours talking clearly and also when they use their toilets.
the staff were happy to move us from our first room but the same happened on our second night at 4.47am when our neighbours decided to have a very loud shouting match waking us up so sorry will not be coming back. can I also say that the pub was in awful condition seating with sticky tape over holes in cushions and food not very good.

We booked a superior room but were allocated a shabby and dated standard.
Staff and duty manager argued with us and I had to be quite forceful and quote sale of goods act to get my money back. Hotel was loud and has seen better days. Avoid.

I have used Village hotels before and always found them to be pleasant.
We had both good and bad in our stay. The pub and the restaurant experience was nice and our evening mean want above our expectations in both food and service. However the room was clean but small unfortunately had paper thin walls, so eat plugs maybe required even for those just holding conversations in the next room. Breakfast stopped serving at 10.30 even though room brochure stated 11am. We did eventually get breakfast after some negotiation.

great place, excellent service
From the moment we arrived until the day we left we were looked after.
Breakfast was great, something for everyone and service with a smile. Dinner was lovely, well presented and our waiters looked after us completely. Drinks in the bar and we were greeted with a warm and freindly welcome. The spa complex has something for all ages and we swam every day. All in all we were sorry to leave. Can't wait to return soon.

In terms of scheduling they did indeed say it was going out at 8:30pm. Also, itll be on BBC1, a first for Room 101.
Its not scheduled to air until January so speculating a day is pure guess work at this stage, but Id be surprised if it wasnt on Friday nights. But as we are talking several months away I think even the 8:30pm time slot could change.
And to the poster who asked if Opinionated is coming back it is, back on BBC2 in November.
Thanks for clearing that up, i think Room 101 is perfect for a Friday night slot, especially as BBC see Fridays as the main comedy night, as it's not airing until the New Year then i'd put it at 9pm on Fridays, with maybe an extended edition over the Weekend.

GOOD MORNING CAMPERS. I feel like I've stepped into a new phase of my masters, which is just pure panic. After completing the "first half" (I say that in quotations because all I've done so far is get the first half of my marks for the degree), my thesis looms. The deadline is approaching far too quickly, and that terrifies me. I'm not very good at open-ended, and right now I'm waiting for a lot of loose end to tie together so I can get my project moving but it's not happening quick enough, for my liking anyway.
I've also realised how close that leaves me to the end of my educational plan. I mean, after this, I need a job. I'm done with working in retail now, I've been in it since I was 16. I'm ready to make real career progress, but after applying for a bunch of jobs and hearing back from one (which you know, was a rejection), it doesn't fill you with confidence. I have a plan if all else fails, but hopefully I can get a relevant job.
Work has also been hectic. There's been some changes in the system which means things haven't really altered for the better for me, but I can't discuss it further. We've also been massively busy with the release of Jurassic World and in the next couple of days Minions will also be out. Why do they busy films wreck my schedule?!
Did I mention that my thesis is 50% of my mark? Bricking it.

White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told a group of high school students last June that former Chinese communist dictator Mao Zedong was one of her two favorite political philosophers, and you could tell she was speaking from the heart. Her earnest appeal to the teenagers to fight their own wars, as Mao had counseled when challenged within his own party, was clearly meant as a call to activism. "You fight your war and I'll fight mine," she quoted Mao as saying, because apparently Mao was all about personal choice.
Of course, Mao's usual response to those who questioned his authority was to have them killed, but mentioning that inconvenient truth might detract from Miss Dunn anointing him a philosopher.
Miss Dunn's quotation of Chairman Mao as one of the two people she "most turns to" has created a media sensation. A bewildered Miss Dunn, discovering that not everyone reveres mass murderers as sources of valuable life lessons, claimed she was only quoting late Republican political operative Lee Atwater's views on the Chinese Communist Party chairman. But there is a significant difference between uberconservative Mr. Atwater making a joke about Mao and reverential views coming from one of President Obama's mouthpieces.
"What would Mao do?" seems to be the guiding question in White House communications strategy. Miss Dunn bragged that during the 2008 presidential campaign, "very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control." The Obama White House continues this drive for control using the tools of government, seeking to harness all means of communication and organize a Cultural Revolution Lite.
A push for control is revealed in attempts to organize Hollywood to help convey party messages and to use the National Endowment for the Arts to promote Obama policy initiatives. The Federal Communications Commission is considering content regulations on radio stations under the guise of promoting "diversity." The White House convinced television networks to embed themes of "service and volunteering" all this week, and tried to rebrand Sept. 11 as a Day of Service. This reminds us of Mao's admiration for the Soviet "subbotnik," or voluntary (actually forced) labor program. The fact that the White House communications director finds inspiration in the words of the man who gave the world brainwashing is cause for concern.
The current war with Fox News - which Miss Dunn called "opinion journalism masquerading as news" - shows the White House commitment to controlling the press. Among Fox News' crimes was when Chris Wallace fact-checked controversial statements made on his program by Assistant Secretary of Veterans Affairs Tammy Duckworth. Yet to Miss Dunn, the media should serve as what Vladimir Lenin called "transmission belts," simple purveyors of whatever the White House dishes out, uncritically and unthinkingly. How dare Fox News check facts. No one fact-checked Mao.
On "This Week" on Sunday, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod lectured George Stephanopoulos on how ABC should treat Fox. Any news shop that follows the White House line will be seen as an extension of Miss Dunn's information machine. Meanwhile Fox's ratings continue to go up.

Sydney Suburbs, Sydney

Favorite thing:
You can follow the walk around down below on your way to or from Clifton Gardens or, if you want to chack out some lovely real estate, you can climb the stairs and walk along Iluka Road. We chose to go to the upper part of Iluka Road as it's split into twol
These shots were taken on that walk.
Favorite thing:
Redfern, where 41.6% of people live in public housing, has a poor reputation among those who haven't been there, yet it has a repository of interesting architecture, some galleries and an interesting park or two.
Fondest memory: It was named after the renowned surgeon William Redfern, who certainly came a long way after being sentenced to death for his part in the mutiny of the Nore in 1797. After serving four years he was transported to Sydney and gained a conditional pardon in 1803 followed by a full pardon in 1804, the year he was strongly advocating smallpox vaccination.
Such was his success that Governor Lachlan Macquarie gave him over 100 acres of land where the suburb now stands.

Favorite thing:
Hire a car and do a tour of the coastline, culminating in a walk to Barrenjoey Lighthouse in Palm Beach.
Fondest memory: Any sunny day, be it summer or winter, the drive is magnificent. It is, of course, most enjoyable if you are not driving yourself, so the view can be fully appreciated.
Once you get past Mona Vale, the road offers stunning views, the ocean to the east and Pittwater to the west.
Favorite thing:
If you like girls, night clubs, or you just want to use cheap internet you deffenetly have to go this place. You will enjoy that. You can use the Internet for $3AUD unlimited. The connection is fast.
Fondest memory: The place is a little bit scarry, but know worry. Don't give an attencion for the people on the streets, and you will have no problem.
Favorite thing:
Go outdoor bowling in Coogee. Its free, its by the sea, you can booze whilst you bowl, there are old women dressed in their whites passing the days simply...bowling. There's a lot to be said for it.
Fondest memory: Staring at the big blue skies that go on and on and on and on (get the picture?)
Favorite thing: Hang out in the beer garden of the Watsons Bay Hotel on a sunny weekend. This place gets packed. WHY? the atmosphere is fantastic, it is a great place to eat fish and chips/seafood/BBQ steaks with a beer/wine with friends, against postcard views of Sydney Harbour. You cannot beat that combination! TIPS: parking is a nightmare on weekends. So perhaps catch the ferry over from Circular Quay. Arrive there before lunch in order to get a table with the best vantage point over the water. And after you finish eating, take a walk (5 mins away) to 'The Gap', which has panoramic views over Sydney. A word of warning: You could get caught around here for hours!
Favorite thing:
Visit it all. Take the time to venture to every nook and cranny. There are little delights everywhere. I lived just outside Sydney - Bondi Beach for 8 months. Amazing. Go there. About a 30minutes train ride from Sydney. Darlinghurst and Paddington are amazing areas for shopping. The Rocks is cool for a night drinking hole. Or there is Kings Cross which is a seedy area, but where the best people watching occurs. Especially after dark.
Fondest memory: Taking a boat ride in Sydney Harbour. Seeing Ayers Rock. The main reason I went there. Spectacualar. Just don't walk across it. It's a scared area for ther local people. Take the base tour, its even better.
Favorite thing:
There are so many things to choose from, but one that I always recommend is a visit to the Paddington Market on Oxford Street(not to be confused with Paddy's Market). The market is on Saturdays (between 10am and 4pm)and is filled with locally made clothing, jewellery, furniture, just all sorts of stuff. Nothing cheesy! There was also live entertainment and great food (try the 'glory rolls').
Fondest memory: The friendly and laid back nature of the Australian people and the cleanliness and excitement of Sydney.
Favorite thing:
Take a day trip to the Blue Mountains - you can catch a train there and its extremely beautiful. There's excellent treks and the air is so fresh!
Fondest memory: Little Bay - South of Maroubra / off Anzac Parade - you have to walk through the hospital or golf course to get to it but its well worth it - a deserted beach in Sydney - unbelievable!
Favorite thing:
I stayed at a beautiful woman's house in Mosman, a wealthy suburb of Sydney. It's the only way to go unless you meet a gifted (in a variety of ways) flight attendant from San Diego named Diane and she invites you to stay with her at the hotel during her layover.
You have to eat Thai at any one of several great Thai restaurants in Sydney. You have to visit the Italian section of the city and sip huge cups of espresso at a place on the middle of the block in the heart of the section. I can't remember it's name, but that's ok, it's the only one there.
You have to visit the only Italian restaurant in Mosman (I think it's called La Trattoria) and tell them Peter Fusco from New York sent you. They will play 'New York, New York' by Frank Sinatra in that event. Make you feel right at home if you're a New Yorker. If they ask, 'who?' Just tell them, 'the guy who tipped you people so much of that play money you guys have in Australia.' (My Mosman hostess told me no one tips in Aussieland. I told her no one doesn't tip in New York.)
You have to visit the opera house, but I wouldn't attend the opera unless you are an afficionado. It is not very comfortable and the acoustics aren't that great.
Check out the Sydney zoo (from which I was ousted for trying to get a Wallaby to hop).
Go to the Bonaventure hotel in Mosman and drink Jack Daniels. They love that.
Have your shoes fixed by the old Korean guy whose shop is kitty corner from the Bonaventure.
Go to Old Town and check out the bars.
Check out Manly Beach. I think that's what it's called.
You have to go to the wine country. It's beautiful and the people are fantastic.
And you have to keep telling yourself that its not good to fall in love with an entire country so fast.
Fondest memory: A woman named Janice. She was a kind and decent hostess whom I will never forget.
Favorite thing:
The must do when in Sydney, is a Sydney Harbour cruise . The natural harbour is beautiful and gives you not only a panoramic view of the city, but also brings you out of the CBD to charming 'burbs like Manly and Balmain.
Also, as a first time visitor there are heaps of things to see, and taking day trips to the western mountains or northern vinyards are recommended, as are the beaches of course and the nightlife.
Fondest memory: My favourite thing about Sydney is its multiculturalism. Its diversity, friendliness and openess is what I always long for when I've been overseas for a while whether for leisure or business.
Favorite thing:
Visit THE AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE PARK at WONDERLAND SYDNEY.
Fondest memory: Something I am told:
Nice and enjoyable to view the cute and shy Koalas. You can have a photo taken with one but REMEMBER that recent Australian regulations do not allow the carrying/cuddling of the Koalas.
Koalas don't live in families, but are solitary animals.
Koalas sleep as long as 18 hours a day and have a low-energy diet of eucalyptus leaves.
Koalas are not 'drunk' or otherwise intoxicated by their leaves.
Although koalas obtain most of their water from leaves -- the name koala is thought to mean 'no drink' in the native Aborginal tongues -- they do occasionally drink water at the edges of streams.
Favorite thing:
Visit THE AUSTRALIAN WILDLIFE PARK at WONDERLAND SYDNEY.
Fondest memory: At The Australian Wildlife Park is the Outback Woolshed - a depiction of an authentic Aussie woolshed from the early days, complete with the character and activities of years gone bye. You are taken back to the atmosphere of the outback. The woolshed is, without doubt, the centrepiece of any outback sheep station, and no different here.
Favorite thing:
Sydney has many uptions but it's harbour is unique. Catch all the ferries to everywhere. but for a singular memorable day take a trip on Aquatic Airways to fly over Sydney's coastline. Catch the seaplane at Rose Bay. Fly to Palm Beach and have lunch at Jonahs...stay overnight there and surf Palm Beach.Fly back and have a drink at Watson's bay while watching the sun set.
Fondest memory: Sun rise over Newport beach after an all night barbecue and the first swim of the day

text: ". . . caring for the least among us each and every day." Thus said Michelle Obama, halfway through her speech. Her husband likes to quote this passage (from Matthew 25). Who are "the least" in Obama's world? Lots and lots of people, including widows and orphans and, generally, those who are poor. But not the child in utero (or even, to judge by his opposition to the Illinois legislation designed to protect babies that survive abortion, actual infants). Obama needs to be asked why the unborn fail to qualify as one of his "least of these." Maybe in one of the debates?

Capping a long and at times bitter takeover battle, Sprint shareholders meeting in Overland Park, Kan., overwhelmingly approved a $21.6 billion takeover bid from SoftBank, rejecting a competing offer from rival Dish Network and moving the Japan-based SoftBank one step closer to owning 78 percent of America's third-largest wireless carrier.
SoftBank now just needs approval from the Federal Communications Commission to finalize the Sprint merger, which would give Sprint the cash to compete with rivals AT&T and Verizon Wireless while giving SoftBank a foothold in the U.S. wireless market. The acquisition would be the largest ever by a Japan-based company of an overseas corporation. SoftBank's founder Masayoshi Son has said he wants the company to expand beyond the mature Japanese cellphone market.
Sprint Nextel Corp. CEO Dan Hesse thanked shareholders Tuesday for approving the merger, which both companies expect to be concluded by early July. Sprint's stock closed Tuesday essentially flat at $6.88.
"Today is a historic day for our company," Mr. Hesse said in a statement. "The transaction with SoftBank should enhance Sprint's long-term value and competitive position by creating a company with greater financial flexibility."
The Tuesday vote ended the eight-month battle for control of Sprint. SoftBank first offered to buy a 70 percent stake of Sprint in October with an initial $20.1 billion bid. But satellite TV provider Dish Network countered in April with an unsolicited $25.5 billion offer for full ownership of Sprint.
As part of its campaign, Dish ran full-page newspaper ads and created an anti-SoftBank website in May warning of cybersecurity and national security threats of SoftBank, which has ties to Chinese manufacturer Huawei Technologies. Later that month, SoftBank, cleared a major hurdle when the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. found no national security threat in the SoftBank-Sprint deal.
SoftBank sweetened its offer June 10, boosting its initial bid by $1.5 billion to $21.6 billion for a 78 percent share of Sprint. Dish withdrew its bid for Sprint several days later, deciding not to submit a revised offer.
Instead, Dish is now battling Sprint for ownership of Clearwire, which cites Sprint as its largest shareholder at 51 percent. Sprint is seeking to buy out the rest of the satellite broadcaster to build competitive high-speed network upgrades while Dish would use Clearwire to expand from its traditional pay-TV services into the wireless industry.
Last week, Sprint offered $5 a share for Clearwire Corp., a 14 percent jump from Dish's offer, which would increase Clearwire's value to $14 billion. The Sprint-Clearwire deal awaits a shareholder vote July 8.

All Failed Backups Template
I am trying to customize the All Failed Backups report to show all failed backups for a full backups of our Exchange databases and have them emailed to my nightly so I have verry fast notification to any failed backups. I have the report narrowed down fine and the schedule set, however as the report has job directory in its list of properties, each job failure has multiple rows in the report and it makes it quite hard to read. I have tried to remove theis property but the rows are still there. Does anyone know how to further modify this to get one row for one failed job, or a custom SQL report to do the same thing?

Spiritual People
Speech. | iMusic.
As the front man for Arrested Development, Speech became a '90s hip hop sensation with hits like "Tennessee" and "People Everyday." Though his solo work hasn't had the same commercial impact, Speech continues to blend rich '70s soul grooves with thoughtful lyrics. Gliding easily between Marley-influenced crooning and mellow raps, Speech chastises relentless commercialism on "Brought to You By (Music & Life)" and mocks ostentatious hip hoppers on "Ghetto Fabulous." A natural preacher, Speech occasionally lets the rhetoric overwhelm the music, but even at its most didactic, the passion of Spiritual People still invigorates.

Russia rainy-day fund to last longer than expected
MOSCOW - MOSCOW (AP) - Russia's finances are looking up as oil prices promise to sustain the country's rainy-day fund longer than expected, the finance minister said Friday.
Alexei Kudrin said higher oil prices will extend the life of the fund, which currently holds 1.9 trillion rubles ($63 billion), into 2011, state news agencies reported.
The improvement comes despite the government spending $11.6 billion last month alone to plug the budget deficit, which currently stands at 3.4 percent.
Kudrin was also quoted as saying the deficit is expected to be under 5.4 percent of gross domestic product this year, much lower than earlier anticipated. Russia in April made moves to rein in the deficit, selling bonds worth $5.5 billion as it tapped foreign debt markets for the first time in 12 years.
The brighter macroeconomic outlook means the country now plans to borrow from abroad significantly less than the $17.8 billion approved earlier this year.
Russia's GDP dropped by 7.9 percent last year, but has been on the rise since the third quarter.
The economic ministry on Friday revised down its estimate for economic growth in the first quarter of 2010, saying the economy expanded by 2.9 percent during that period, less than previously calculated.

The researchers had to develop special methods to extract the Neanderthal DNA and ensure that it was not contaminated with human DNA. They used new sequencing technology to obtain sequence data directly from the extracted DNA without amplifying it first. Although genome scientists like to sequence a genome at least four or five times to ensure accuracy, most of the Neanderthal genome has been covered only one to two times so far.
The draft Neanderthal sequence is probably riddled with errors, Green said, but having the human and chimpanzee genomes for comparison makes it extremely useful despite its limitations. Places where humans differ from chimps, while Neanderthals still have the ancestral chimp sequence, may represent uniquely human genetic traits. Such comparisons enabled the researchers to catalog the genetic changes that have become fixed or have risen to high frequency in modern humans during the past few hundred thousand years.
"It sheds light on a critical time in human evolution since we diverged from Neanderthals," Green said. "What adaptive changes occurred in the past 300,000 years as we were becoming fully modern humans? That's what I find most exciting. Right now we are still in the realm of identifying candidates for further study."
The ancestral lineages of humans and chimpanzees are thought to have diverged about 5 or 6 million years ago. By analyzing the Neanderthal genome and genomes of present-day humans, Green and his colleagues estimated that the ancestral populations of Neanderthals and modern humans separated between 270,000 and 440,000 years
