|Elliotts new STS exchange program representatives
|Written by Jes-c Brandt
Ten years ago, the Elliott family hosted their first foreign exchange student from Slovakia. "The experience was so good," said Thom, "we decided to take on more." Since then, they have hosted another student from Slovakia, and individuals from Italy, Japan and their most recent visitor Vanessa Nishi from Brazil.
The experience of being a host family has been so rewarding, Thom and Julie are taking their involvement to the next level by becoming the STS area representatives. The position was formerly held by Diane Webster, and after working with the Elliotts as host parents, she approached them about taking the role.
The STS Foundation is the program most of the area's exchange students come through. The program places students from around the world with families in America.
Since March, when they became representatives, the couple has enjoyed speaking with people around the community about hosting exchange students and arranging for their own student from Switzerland. In addition to helping find host families in Holyoke and surrounding areas, as representatives they will work with the students and families throughout the year to make sure things continue to go smoothly.
At this point, there is only one student who has made arrangements to stay in Holyoke for the next school year. In recent years, the school has been fortunate to have several students from abroad, and it is the Elliotts' hope that this year will be similar.
Having been host parents before, Thom and Julie sincerely recommend it to others. "One of the biggest benefits, especially if you have kids, is a broader view of the world," noted Thom. Camille, a freshman at HHS, agreed she has learned a lot about Brazil—and the metric system—while Nishi lived with them.
Visitors to St. Patrick Catholic Church Maurizzio Bietrolungo of Italy and Cesar Quinones of the Dominican Republic have also become close family friends with the Elliotts this year. The family members all speak very highly of the opportunity to look beyond the United States and learn about other fascinating countries.
From the other perspective, Nishi pointed out studying in Holyoke has been a great experience for her. She hopes many others will have the chance to spend a year here. You learn so much more as a student than if you come for vacation, said Nishi.
Having spoken to many about hosting a student already, Julie observed several of the same concerns from person to person. People are afraid that hosting will be expensive and difficult, added Thom. It's really not though, they both assured. As Thom put it, you basically go on as usual, and add an extra plate at the dinner table.
Hosts are not expected to provide a United States sightseeing trip or anything of the sort. They just need to provide a safe, caring environment for students. They will be kept busy enough just being in a new country and meeting new people.
In her experience, Julie said the students are very smart, independent and easy to get along with. That, combined with the extensive application process, makes it highly likely that the student and the family will be a good match, with similar interests.
Although Julie and Thom are based in Holyoke, they can help families from any of the surrounding towns who wish to host an exchange student.
Anyone interested in hosting a student for the 2009-10 school year can contact Thom or Julie Elliott at 970-854-5294. Arrangements should be made by Aug. 1 to give families and students time to prepare for the school year.

II recently went to a bike show and bought an old version Blackburn Flea for $5. The guy at the booth assured me it would work. I got it home and found out it wouldn't. I contacted Blackburn and they sent me a new, new version Flea for free.
How nice of them.
I really like this light and I think it is every bit as good as my Cygolight Hotshot, and it is much easier to charge. I think I prefer it for that reason alone.
It is also easier to mount.
That is all.

Madonna won't eat MarmiteMadonna's worst nightmare would be to eat a Marmite sandwich.
The 53-year-old star is not a fan of the salty yeast spread - which has a very acquired taste and is popular in Britain - and even though 14-year-old daughter Lourdes is trying to get her to try one, Madonna is standingfirm.
Speaking at the premiere of her new movie 'W.E.' at the Toronto Film Festival, Madonna is quoted by the MailOnline as saying: "I would do anything for my children. For sure. Except have a Marmite sandwich. My daughter's insistent that I eat one, but I won't! Vile!"
Lourdes is thought to have developed a taste for Marmite - which has the slogan, 'You either love it or hate it' - while she was living in the UK during Madonna's marriage to British film director Guy Ritchie, which ended in 2008.
While Madonna - who has three other children, Rocco, 11, Mercy, six, and five-year-old David - isn't a fan of Marmite Elizabeth Hurley recently revealed she can't get enough of the dark savoury spread
The model-and-actress had been in New York with her nine-year-old son Damian to film her scenes for TV show 'Gossip Girl' but because of the threat of Hurricane Irene, they were confined to their hotel home where they gorged on Marmite toast.
She tweeted: "Still confined to barracks, so eating marmite on toast while learning GG lines."

Tom Mullen transcends the non-existent paradigm perpetuated by the mainstream media and the two party system to address a serious issue that both left and right should come together on. What the establishment possibly fears most is a coalition of sorts against the Fed between the Tea Party with the Occupy Movement. OCCUPY and END THE FED.
This spreadsheet from the Fed's own website tracks the "inflation rate" from 1800-2008. The last column (added) tracks the price movements of a basket of goods and services that cost $100.00 in 1800. As you can see, prices dropped dramatically over time throughout the 19th century. That same basket of goods that cost $100.00 in 1800 cost only $56.74 in 1912...
...Now, look at the same basket of goods from 1913 (the year the Fed was created) through 2008. You see exactly the opposite trend. The same basket of goods that cost $56.74 in 1912 now costs $1,265.14. Obviously, even the more dramatic increase in wages during this period has not kept up with the increase in prices. This makes the average worker poorer.

via Neighbors lose fight against proposed Islamic cemetery – www.ktnv.com.
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) — Neighbors have lost their fight against a proposed Islamic cemetery not far from McCarran International Airport.
On Wednesday, Clark County commissioners allowed plans for the project to move forward, despite widespread opposition from people who live nearby.
The empty plot near Warm Springs and Bermuda roads is partially surrounded by homes, one of the big reasons why neighbors say the space should not become an Islamic funeral home and cemetery.
"The main concern has always been that a cemetery doesn't fit in our neighborhood," said one resident.
Plans call for up to 1,200 plots to serve the area's Muslim community. Signs are posted throughout the neighborhood opposing the project.
"I have no prejudice against any religion or any denomination but I just don't feel this residential area is a proper location," said neighbor Tim O'Reilly.
The site is not far from an Islamic school and mosque. The county's planning commission already approved the project but neighbors lined up to appeal the decision. They expressed concerns about property values, contaminated water and possible flooding.
"It would be appalling and gruesome to have any bodies washed away and this would be devastating to their families," said neighbor Michelle Almassy.
Commissioners unanimously denied the appeal, allowing the project to move forward.
"I don't have a justifiable reason to say no, other than the fact that obviously a lot of neighbors would prefer it be put in a different and separate area," said commissioner Steve Sisolak.
Sisolak said the land's current zoning allows for a cemetery.
The applicant said Muslims have few burial options in the valley that meet the needs of their faith.
"I will build them a cemetery that will improve the value of houses and land in that neighborhood," said Dr. Osama Haikal.
Dr. Haikal said he'll agree to conditions to address traffic and parking. He said a lack of understanding is fueling neighbors' fears, "I have done everything imaginable to make sure that none of them will hurt."
Commissioners approved the plans with roughly two dozen conditions. Organizers hope to have the project completed in about a year.
More and quite a different tone:
According to Dr Aslam Abdullah, director of the Islamic Society of Nevada, the opposition by the residents was a result of a theological problem. "We don't have a place. We need a place. But we don't want a place at the expense of our neighbors," Abdullah said.
Abdullah also said that an earlier effort by a different group to build a Muslim cemetery in the northeast valley in 2012 ended with a fire at the construction site, which he believes was intentionally set and considers it as a hate crime since the cause of the fire was never determined.
We know that more often than not such purported "hate crimes" are committed by Muslims.
While it might be zoned for a cemetery, it's a very residential area.
If the Islamic society in Vegas is anything like the one in Kansas City, and follows the Koran, it won't be pretty. Read the account of one woman and how even Muslim women are treated right here in the good ole USA: Islamic Society of Kansas City Leaders Yell and Force Hijab on Non-Muslim Women.

The Sub Committee of the Financial Stability and Development Council (FSDC), headed by RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan, today expressed concern over the rising bad loans of banks.
The Reserve Bank will shortly bring out draft guidelines to address issues relating to asset quality, the central bank said after the 11th meeting of the FSDC Sub Committee.
"Other major issues taken up in the meeting included concerns relating to the deteriorating asset quality of banks," an RBI statement said.
The Sub Committee discussed the recent trends in the current account deficit and relative stability in the foreign exchange markets on account of measures initiated by the regulators and the government and also the improvement in the external environment, it added.
The FSDC was set up to strengthen and institutionalise the mechanism of financial stability and development.
Top 30 loan defaulters of public sector banks (PSBs) account for more than one-third of total gross non-performing assets of state-run lenders. The gross non-performing assets (GNPA) amount these accounts of public sector banks (PSBs) stood at Rs 72,174 crore, while for all banks it was Rs 91,667 crore at the end of September, 2013.
To improve the health of the financial sector and to improve asset quality of banks, besides preventing slippages, RBI from time to time issues instructions of banks.
The RBI statement further said the Sub Committee decided on a coordinated approach to the implementation of some non-legislative recommendations of the Financial Sector Legislative Reforms Council (FSLRC) within a defined timeframe.
Also, the desirability of developing a common repository of information on financial assets was discussed.
The RBI further said it was decided that the Inter Regulatory Technical Group, among other issues, would also explore implementation of such a repository in a progressive manner.

This article is currently available online and will be published in the November 15, 2009 issue. Based on the authors' experience with human health and ecological risk assessment, this paper offers a perspective on the relative importance of the principles outlined in U.S. EPA's Framework for Metals Risk Assessment for assessing metals exposure and risk.The authors' collective expertise on the fate, transport, toxicology, and risk assessment of metals and other chemicals in products, foods, and the environment provides broad insight on the potential for and consequences of chemical exposure. Dr. Charles A. Menzie, the Director of Exponent's Ecological Sciences practice, is the lead author. Dr. Menzie chaired the external working group that assisted U.S. EPA in developing the principles discussed in this paper, and he was awarded the Outstanding Practitioner Award for risk analysis practice by the Society for Risk Analysis.

Some of the most extraordinary research resources anywhere are made possible because of the contributions of our supporters. One of the realities that organizations like Texas Biomed face is that we are only as successful as the resources we can provide to support the research our scientists conduct. The most modern equipment, laboratory facilities and technologies have been funded by donations from our supporters.
A few examples include:
Endowment funding enables Texas Biomed to sustain excellence in scientific staff and provide for the continuous improvement of programs, facilities, and operations. To strengthen our claim on the future, we must invest in strategies that assure the financial strength of this unique institution devoted exclusively to biomedical research.
One way of ensuring the long-term security of Texas Biomed is to earmark a donation for endowment, which provides resources capable of generating ongoing support for operations, administration, and maintenance. Revenue generated by a healthy endowment helps free up valuable resources that can be dedicated to research and program support.
A named endowment can provide a perpetual form of funding and recognition to the donor. An endowment can enable the Institute to fund the creative spark in innovative research … to support a great mind that toils every day … to sponsor a financial investment in technology and facility … all aimed at empowering man to answer scientific questions earlier generations thought unanswerable.

Florida residents will enjoy a little financial relief each year with lower vehicle registration rates, and the Pinellas County Tax Collector began mailing out renewal notices to its populace Monday.
The adjusted rates take effect for registration renewals beginning Sept. 1.
The Legislature voted earlier this yeat to essentially roll back a rate hike it approved in 2009.
The 2009 increase led to Floridans' average one-time annual vehicle registration and tag renewal going up about $25, to $71 from $46.
"From day one of the 2014 Legislative Session, Governor Scott and the Florida Legislature committed to making a reduction in vehicle fees the centerpiece of meaningful tax relief for Florida's families," wrote Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, after the rate-rollback bill was approved.
According to a Pinellas County Tax Collector press release, Florida vehicle owners collectivley will save roughly $400 million per year.
The reason Pinellas County is mailing September renewals later than normal is to reduce confusion and help residents take advantage of the new, lower fee, said Pinellas Tax Collector Diane Nelson. "I would be disheartened if someone with a September renewal accidentally renewed their vehicle registration before the first and missed out on the opportunity to save money because they were not informed of the new fee structure."
The renewal notices sent out Monday included an informational insert about the reduced fee structure.
Although newer rates become available online on Sept. 1, they will not be accepted in branch offices until Sept. 2, because of the Labor Day holiday.
Pinellas County residents are encouraged to renew online at www.taxcollect.com.

When it comes to plants, climbers are an obvious first choice. They soften lines and create a multi-tiered effect. Clematis, jasmine or honeysuckle can be trellised up a wall, through an arbour or along a fence, and can be pruned to fit a small space. Annual vines such as sweet peas, black-eyed Susan, Spanish flag (Ipomoea lobata syn. Mina lobata) and nasturtiums grow particularly well in containers. (Check the mature size of any vine to ensure your structure provides enough support.) Also, think carefully about planting vines near eating areas. Some, like Virginia creeper and hops, are susceptible to white fly; you won't want to spray if there's dining nearby.
Shrubs with loose, open habits, such as firethorn (Pyracantha), camellia and euonymus, can be espaliered for dramatic impact in small gardens, and White says plants grown as standards (bay, rosemary and waxed-leaf privet, for example) are a fabulous way to get a hit of vertical interest, especially when planted in narrow pots 90 centimetres to 1.2 metres tall by 30 to 60 centimetres wide. "People aren't brave enough with scale," she says. "There are tall buildings all around us, and obviously we have to be aware of wind. But my best advice if you want vertical interest is to be daring." A grand impact, White adds, doesn't necessarily require a big footprint.
Finally, gardeners sometimes think vertical when it comes to disguising an eyesore, an unappealing view, hydro poles, wires or an unsightly structure in a neighbour's yard. While this can sometimes work, de Jong encourages people to be imaginative. "Create something beautiful on the opposite side of what you're trying to hide," he says. "And direct attention to that instead of the sore spot."
Plant picks for a small space
Jeffry de Jong, instructor of horticulture:
Calgary Castor bean (Ricinus communis) for its beautiful red flowers; lax-stemmed roses such as 'John Cabot' treated as a climber; morning glory (Ipomoea) woven through a colourfully painted (try red or purple) metal trellis.
Lalieth White, garden designer, Vancouver
Five-leaf akebia (Akebia quinata) for its distinctive foliage and unusual brownish purple flowers; evergreen clematis (Clematis armandii) for year-round interest (but it's a vigorous grower, so keep it in check); rosemary pruned into a topiary tree form and grown in a pot on a patio.

FreeBSD 7 (or I suppose 70 :). That attached patch expands the test to
7 though 19 which should be enough for a while. Hopefully by the time
FreeBSD 19 is out everything will have sctp support in libc or have
dropped it. :)

ATLANTA -- Here are some great tips for parents whose children are preparing to take the CRCT.
Be sure your children eat well all weekend and every morning of the test.
Feed your children red grapes. Research has shown that grapes and grape juice help memory and increase oxygen in the blood.
A wet brain is a smart brain. Make sure your kids drink plenty of water, and even take a water bottle to school if they're allowed. Hydration helps the brain's cognitive functions; studies show that drinking water reduces anxiety by forcing the brain to take a short break when you take a sip.
Feed your children protein, not carbs or sugar. A consulting company called BrainSmart says eating protein stimulates dopamine, which raises alertness levels. Sugar and carbs will force kids to get a sugar high, then crash later.

text: Pollution warning for sewage vandals 27 Jan 2013 Northern Ireland Water has warned that vandals who have carried out 24 attacks on a Co Down wastewater treatment plant in the past year could end up causing a major environmental incident. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Control panels, computers and other equipment have been targeted at the facility in Annsborough, where raw sewage from 2,100 homes in the area is treated.NI Water said almost £100,000 has already been spent repairing damage. The most recent attack took place on 13 January and there are fears that broken equipment could affect processes and potentially lead up to a major pollution incident.Alec McQuillan, Head of Wastewater at NI Water, said: "These incidents have been going on for about a year and have resulted in considerable expense and disruption."Almost £100,000 has been spent repairing damaged equipment, introducing increased security and installing new equipment at the site."This area has a well-deserved reputation for the beauty of the waterways and coastline and we, as a company, view the protection of that environment as a major priority."It is for this reason that we are particularly concerned about the potential that these attacks have to cause a significant incident."The company said it has been working closely with the PSNI over the attacks.A statement from Chief Inspector Deirdre Bones said: "Those carrying out these senseless acts of vandalism are putting themselves in danger and putting the whole community at risk of a potentially serious pollution incident. I would appeal to whoever is responsible for these attacks to stop now before even more serious damage is caused."Anyone with more information can call Newcastle Police Station on 0845 600 8000.Meanwhile local MP Margaret Ritchie condemned those responsible."Those people who are causing damage at the plant are also putting the wider community at risk of a serious pollution incident and they should stop to consider the ramifications of their mindless vandalism," she said."I would urge anyone who may have seen anything suspicious at the plant over the weekend to come forward and help the police with their enquiries." © UTV Share Share Share

Playing or watching?
In sports, as in life: You can't do both
Sports as a metaphor of life is often noted, but I never saw it till last Saturday at YMCA roller-hockey: No. 4 is swept off his skates in a tangle of sticks. Rather than springing up immediately, this fallen 10-year-old-in whom I have more than a passing interest-for three split seconds indulges (I cannot think of a better word for it) in a mental shift that is fatal for hockey and maybe for life.
I'm speaking of what philosophers describe as self-consciousness, and I read it all over his face. During this brief interlude the boy has left his fellow players, left the game. Meanwhile, for the swirl of blue and red shirts around him, there is but one truth: the puck, the net. Self is dissolved into something bigger, subject absorbed into object.
One little hockey player needs to learn: At any given moment in life, you can either play the game or watch yourself playing the game. The two are mutually exclusive. When you pass into the one, the clock stops ticking on the other, and for that period at least you are doing something other than true living: You are cannibalizing life. You have slipped into that inferior mode of existence called nostalgia or romanticism. Sit on your laurels after a good play, or stay down too long after a bad play, and while you're lamenting the ship that's left you'll be missing the one that's here.
I have noted with interest that the Apostle Paul is, in this sense, the most unself-conscious of men. Not only does he not dwell on his past sins (Philippians 3:13-14), but he seems utterly devoid of a certain kind of self-awareness. Maybe he has made some bad calls since the Damascus road and maybe he hasn't, but apart from a regular salubrious spiritual inventory to see that he is walking in the faith (2 Corinthians 13:5), he wastes precious little time in second guessing. "I do not even judge myself. My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes" (1 Corinthians 4:3-5).
When in 2 Corinthians 11 Paul feels compelled to catalog his living martyrdom, it feels totally out of character for him; he himself even calls it foolishness. All these things-frequent imprisonments, floggings, stonings, exposure to the elements, shipwreck, danger from bandits, toil, and sleeplessness-are things he has strained to dredge up to memory for the occasion, things he doesn't dwell on normally. They are rubbish compared to the grace that saved him-though they are glorious works.
The film Blazing Saddles by Mel Brooks captured with a one-minute sight gag the self-consciousness that is perhaps the defining characteristic of this generation (clowns are the philosophers of their age). There is a cowboy scene, a macho stampede of horsemen, and as the camera lens pans the desert landscape, on the periphery a full orchestra comes into view, the violins and wind instruments supplying the background music we were only half conscious of before. It is the music we carry around in our heads all day, in the two-ton steel karaoke booths our cars have become.
Surveillance tapes have shown that the Philadelphia Mafia are big fans of The Godfather and religiously tune in to HBO for The Sopranos, which, presumably, they go out and emulate the rest of the week, their lives now transposed to an epic plane, out of the common and into the rare. We may imagine them wistfully dreaming of casting off the sterling dialogue that David Chase hacks out for their ersatz counterparts on his PC.
So what have we here in this contrast between Paul and Nicodemo Scarfo's gang? There are people who are something and imagine they are nothing, and people who are nothing and imagine they are something. Jesus, on the mount, divided all men into two categories: those who take their reward now, and those who take it later (Luke 6:20-36). He who watches himself live rather than living has received his reward in full. He has basked in the warm wash of a thousand standing ovations; he has been the tragic hero of his own great drama. He has enjoyed himself-even his misery.
What is the sanctified man conscious of? He is "conscious of God," says 1 Peter 2:19. He is the servant who puts in a full day's work, and then when evening comes, it never crosses his mind to do anything but serve his master's dinner and say to himself, "I am an unworthy servant; I have only done my duty" (Luke 17).
Jesus died on a cross. He did not watch himself dying on a cross. As I recall, he was looking at Mary and John, making arrangements for the care of his mother. He was straining to see the thief by his side, to proffer the words of life one final time before he gave up his spirit. And he did it all conscious of one thing, that he is no fool who passes up the illusory violins of earth for the celestial choruses of heaven.

Important Information

Mar 4 2008, 08:33 PM
We posted a number of hands on previews last week from some of the biggest gaming sites on the net and they featured plenty of new information about the game and what we can expect. Our website sponsor UGO also received a hands on preview, and although you wont really learn anything you haven't already heard before, it's worth a read for another point of view on what the actual game looks and feels like.
The article's pretty short, so if you've got a spare five minutes and want to build up your hype level even more, check it out.
You'll find the preview over at
Mar 4 2008, 10:14 PM
Hmm. Why can they not wait for April 31st?
Mar 4 2008, 10:36 PM
Well they are this sites sponsors, so I don't want to be too harsh, but I thought the article was a bit poor, and made to look ridiculously un-professional by mentioning a date that 1. has nothing to do with gta4, and 2. doesn't even exist
Mar 4 2008, 10:47 PM
Lol, Psy. Delete some posts... this review is meh... really meh.
Mar 4 2008, 10:49 PM
I wouldn't even give it a meh.
To be honest. I mean...good lord.
But it makes me think...people get paid to write like that....
Mar 4 2008, 10:50 PM
Sorry for the quad post. Server is messing around as usual
Anyway to be honest I didn't want to post that article. It's embarassing for me posting it as news knowing it offers nothing to the millions of people who view the site... But they are going to link back to us as a thank you, so we'll get a bit more traffic. Not as if we need it seeing as the server can't handle what we're already getting...
Mar 4 2008, 10:59 PM
Why can't we be put on a decent server, like SoccerGaming =/ They get loads of traffic and they barely ever go down.
Mar 4 2008, 11:46 PM
Just reading the news on the front page I was about to post "SPONSOR WHORE!@!!!!!!1" but now reading the comments, I guess I dont have to.

I was let go by my company, I did not leave. I was given notice two weeks ago that HR was reviewing my expenses and that they were doing an investigation.

The things I expensed, I was told was okay by future managers, but my former company is saying otherwise.

Marshall's 4 TD catches lifts AFC in Pro Bowl
HONOLULU Brandon Marshall caught six passes for 176 yards and a Pro Bowl-record four touchdowns, and the AFC used a second-half surge to beat the NFC 59-41 on Sunday.
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver had a touchdown catch in each quarter, including an early 74-yarder and a 3-yarder in the fourth, in a game filled with highlight-reel catches. He was selected the game's MVP and his four TD catches set a Pro Bowl record.
The 59 points by the AFC set a Pro Bowl mark, and the 100 points scored by the two teams combined was the second highest, a touchdown shy of the 107 scored in 2004.
But it was clear from the start it was Marshall's day. He hauled in a deflected, go-ahead 47-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton, while on his back, to give the AFC a 38-35 lead late in the third quarter. It was Marshall's third TD catch of the game, tying Jimmy Smith's Pro Bowl record set in 2004.
Marshall, making his third Pro Bowl appearance, then nabbed a 3-yard TD pass from Dalton that gave the AFC a 52-35 lead with 8:25 left and put the game away.
The game featured 36 first-timers, including rookie quarterbacks Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers and Dalton of the Cincinnati Bengals, who replaced Super Bowl quarterbacks Eli Manning and Tom Brady. Their selection made this Pro Bowl the first to feature two rookie signal callers.
While Dalton looked composed, Newton played horribly - struggling to move the ball, stay in the pocket and find his targets, which drew some boos from the sun-splashed, sellout crowd of 48,423.
Newton finished 9 of 27 for 186 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Dalton, meanwhile, was 7 of 9 for 99 yards and two TDs.
On his first series, Newton overthrew a wide-open Tony Gonzalez over the middle, with the ball sailing into Eric Weddle's hands. The San Diego Chargers safety popped up to his feet and returned it 63 yards to the NFC 23, leading to a 37-yard FG by Sebastian Janikowski, which gave the AFC its first lead of the game at 31-28.
Newton recovered on the next series, airing out a 55-yard go-ahead touchdown pass to Panthers teammate Steve Smith, making it 34-31. But he was intercepted again on the next series.
With the Pro Bowlers unable to get out of third gear - particularly on the offensive and defensive lines - and hitting each other as though they were having a pillow fight, the Pro Bowl featured some good, bad and real ugly - sometimes on the same play. For example, Aaron Rodgers caught a pass from himself. His throw was deflected at the line and he leaped to catch the ball and backpedaled for a 15-yard loss.
Rodgers was 13 of 17 for 141 yards and two TDs, giving him a quarterback rating of 139.6, higher than his NFL record 122.5 rating during the season. But he was watching late in the game as Newton struggled.
The NFC had three players with 100-yard yard receiving: Gonzalez (seven for 114), Larry Fitzgerald (6 for 111) and Smith (5 for 118).
The AFC and NFC traded score after score, and turnover after turnover in the first half.
Rodgers and Fitzgerald connected for a pair of scores on back-to-back plays to put the NFC up 14-0 early in the game.
After stopping the AFC on fourth down at midfield, Rodgers drove the NFC down the field and threw a 10-yard TD toss to Fitzgerald. Six seconds later, Rodgers aired a 44-yard rainbow in the end zone to Fitzgerald for another score after the NFC got the ball back with a surprise onside kick.

Did you have a home inspection completed before you purchased? Most home inspectors will take readings from vents when testing out the HVAC to see what the output is. If your furnace is three or four levels down in the basement, most likely there is just no heat left by the time it reaches the third bedroom. I lived in a townhome where the four bedrooms on the third level got only a small amount of heat because the vents were at "the end of the line" so to speak. The only solution for us was to close vents we didn't need on the levels below, thus to increase heat upstairs.
The first thing you should do is call the city inspection office and see if proper permits were pulled on the attic space when it was finished. If no permits were pulled, then you could have a legal case, according to Cook County rules regarding bedrooms. If proper permits were pulled and the bedroom is legal, then you might not have a case. When it comes to misrepresentation, you will have to prove that the parties were misleading you, something that is fairly hard to prove, especially when it comes to the real estate agent that sold the house and thier brokerage.
Before you threaten to sue, do some homework on the finished attic space first...then seek the advice of an attorney.
As for the temperature problems, are you using a space heater or something to make the room usable for the time being? i would hate to see you incur damage because it just gets too cold up there.
Good luck, Ann!
Yes, I did have an inspection done.
No concerns about the heat were raised at the time.
The sellers are very unreasonable and were hostile during our closing. If I pursue the issue, I will have to be prepared for a legal battle :( I wouldn't expect the seller's agent to know about the heat issue, but certianly after decades of living in the house, the sellers knew.
Is there a legal definition of what is considered a "bedroom"? This third one is simply not livable.
Thanks for all your help!
Litigation issues are best responded to by attorneys. Your question is one that real estate professionals have no business commenting on.
You will need to talk to an attorney about whether or not you can sue someone.
Your possible targets are:
The MLS probably has something that claims "information is reliable but not guaranteed"
The Seller - possibly but in most areas you will be splitting hairs over the legal definition of a bedroom.
The Listing Broker - your best target but still will be splitting hairs.
Before we get sue happy though - try the reasonable person approach. Call your agent and have them call the listing agent and simply explain the situation (they will probably them call the seller). Give them the estimates that you received and try to work on this as a reasonable person talking to a reasonable person. Don't use threats or tell them that you are angry simply tell them that you relied on their information and it turns out that it wasn't accurate. If they don't budge or blow you off then try the courts but starting at "I am going to sue you" will get you nowhere.

The East London Mosque. I wonder what else we can find out about it. Check each word linked above.
H/T EDL Buck
From The Telegraph:
I was offered the "Muslim patrol" story in Tower Hamlets, where self-proclaimed "Muslim vigilantes" filmed themselves verbally abusing and intimidating a gay man. Perhaps wrongly, I didn't use it because I wasn't sure whether a few kids on YouTube had national importance. I am glad, however, that the local police appear to be taking it seriously for once – in contrast to their lamentable attempts to ignore, downplay and cover up previous acts of "Islamic enforcement" and bigotry in the East End.
One Tower Hamlets organisation of undoubted national importance that continues to laugh up its sleeve at us is the East London Mosque, the capital's largest. The mosque's PR machine lost no time cranking out a statement condemning the "vigilantes" and claiming that the mosque was "committed to building co-operation and harmony between all communities in this borough. The actions of this tiny minority have no place in our faith." This claim has been trustingly repeated by various journalists in the coverage this week. But, as the most cursory investigation would show, it is a brazen lie.
There is no evidence that the East London Mosque is directly involved in the latest attacks. But at least one activist in the Islamic Forum of Europe, the Islamic supremacist group that runs the mosque, has previously threatened and intimidated people for violating "Islamic norms," using the IFE's name.

What a gorgeous apartment in a central location. Perfect for exploring Athens. I could see it eoukd nit be to everyones taste, however it was to mine.
The apartment is located on a street surrounded by wonderfully decaying other buildings, covered with vibrant street art. The apartment itself is cool and bright. The bedroom is small and could get a little stuffy, however there was aircon.
The apartment is very well presented and is filled with greenery and street art which gives it a an edgy modernist feeling.
2 minutes walk and you have a good selection of bars and restaurants. 5 minutes walk and you are in the middle of Athens. What more could you ask for. I only needed to use the metro twice and one of those was to get to the airport.
Yannis bize çok yardımcı oldu, harita üzerinde nereleri gezebileceğimizi işaretledi. Evden de genel olarak memnun kaldık.
Schönes Appartement in dem kreativen Stadtteil Psirri. Gute Ausstattung, alles sehr sauber. Etwas zum Wohlfühlen mit ausreichend Platz.
Beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Athen werden wir sicher wieder eine dieser Wohnungen buchen. Freundliche Mitarbeiter, problemlose Abwicklung und alles sauber und ok.
Ha sido una estancia maravillosa. Hemos estado 4 personas, matrimonio y dos hijos ya adultos. El apartamento esta muy bien ubicado para conocer Atenas a pie. Las camas, almohadas, toallas son de hotel de 5 estrellas. Costas fue muy amable y simpatico. Asi mismo el taxista que nos recogio y llevo al aeropuerto, puntual y profesional. Sin duda alguna repetiríamos
The apartment is centrally located.
It is well equipped, clean and quiet.
Modern furniture. The living room is really spacious.
It is better than an hotel.
Very nice apartment, clean and fully equiped with all the necessary things. The location is a privilege.
I strongly recommend it.
Great apartments and a terrific roof terrace.
The apartment is in very good conditions.
Position couldn't be better: only 5 minutes walk from metro Akropolis, 3 minutes walk to Acropolis Museum.

There are leaders and there are followers.
We strive to be leaders by respecting and listening to our customers and consumers about what is important
During the Spring of 1989 we set out to create a company with a spirit, enthusiasm, and mindset that would allow us to venture into new territories for the furniture business. Comfort was made paramount. Costs of doing business would be minimized to ensure price points that would represent a recognizably outstanding value to customers. Applying rigorous standards for quality materials and quality control check points would help us achieve virtually no returns and, consequently, real consumer satisfaction. Sincerely treating all customers, as we ourselves would want to be treated became our principle for customer service.
And styling…styling had to be what we would want in our homes. We did not want to be silly with avant garde just to be different…rather, we wanted styling that at once would look inviting, it would make a consumer feel that with this purchase their house would better become a home…warm, welcoming…an oasis of quiet and calm.
And, our products had to be manufactured in a manner that is simpatico with preserving our rich environment for future generations.
All of these points are not idealistic gibberish, nor are they part of a phony marketing plan to get customers. Instead, they are sincere components of the way we want to run our business.
What has followed since our beginning has been a joyous exploration. A search for perfection, which has challenged the "old ways of the furniture business", has repeatedly led to new ways of thinking for us…and for the many dedicated people who are part of our work force.
To you, our valued customer who had the confidence in us to give us a chance, we are, humbly, most appreciative of the opportunity to present our collection. If we ever do not live up to our "mission" or, more importantly, to your expectations, we would sincerely appreciate your calling or writing to us at your earliest convenience.

Blackmun sidebar
During the Monica Lewinsky scandal, President Clinton struggled with the meaning of the word is. Now it seems a three-judge panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals is struggling with the meanings of all and must.
The U.S. Supreme Court used those words emphatically last year when it handed down a ringing reversal of a federal racketeering judgment against pro-life activists in National Organization for Women (NOW) vs. Joseph Scheidler. The feminist group had charged that a series of abortion protests organized by Pro-Life Action League head Joseph Scheidler, activist Timothy Murphy, and other abortion protesters constituted racketeering and extortion under RICO, the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
In 1998, a jury found the defendants guilty, and liable for an estimated $1.2 million in damages and legal fees. In addition, District Judge David Coar imposed a nationwide injunction that has since chilled peaceful protest outside abortion clinics.
But in February 2003, the Supreme Court ordered that judgment reversed. In a decisive 8-1 ruling, the court held that "even when [pro-life activists'] acts of interference and disruption achieved their ultimate goal of 'shutting down' a clinic that performed abortions, such acts did not constitute extortion," wrote Chief Justice William Rehnquist. "Because all of the ... acts supporting the jury's finding of a RICO violation must be reversed, the judgment that [the defendants] violated RICO must be reversed. Without an underlying RICO violation, the injunction issued by the district court must necessarily be vacated."
The court sent the case back to the 7th Circuit to carry out the decision, but that didn't happen. Instead, last month, acquiescing to arguments mounted by NOW attorney Fay Clayton, a three-judge panel shunted the case back down to the district court to decide whether the injunction and other penalties might be appropriate after all.
"Nobody could quite comprehend how any lawyer could ask a lower court to overturn a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court," said Scheidler attorney Thomas Brejcha.
The 7th Circuit panel included Diane Wood, a professed admirer and former law clerk for Roe vs. Wade architect Supreme Justice Harry Blackmun. Fay Clayton had argued-and prevailed-before Judge Wood earlier in Scheidler's nearly 19-year history. At the core of Ms. Clayton's latest brief: Four alleged acts of violence.
NOW had charged that defendants were liable for 117 "extortionate" acts; the jury found that only four of the alleged acts involved violence. And though the high court's February 2003 reversal required that "all" of the acts the jury found "must be reversed," Ms. Clayton argued in the 7th Circuit that "all" didn't include the four allegedly violent acts. Those, she claimed, should be separately considered as a basis for keeping in force the district court's nationwide injunction.
Meanwhile, NOW's reliance on alleged acts of violence dredges up other problems in Scheidler: According to news footage, videotape by eyewitnesses, photographs, and court documents uncovered after the 1998 trial, some crucial "witnesses" to those acts appear to have lied.
Since the 1998 Scheidler jury was not required to reveal which acts it found were violent, defense attorneys may never get an opportunity to present evidence of false testimony. Where does that leave the case? First, the $1.2 million in damages and legal fees is still hanging over Mssrs. Scheidler and Murphy, and other defendants. Second, Scheidler attorneys on March 11 filed a petition for a rehearing of the case before all 11 judges on the 7th Circuit.
The full court could enforce the Supreme Court's ruling, reversing the RICO judgment, vacating the injunction and damages. (That would leave NOW to pay an estimated $1 million in legal fees.) Or it could affirm the panel's decision and send the case back to the district court.
"Once they open that Pandora's Box," said attorney Brejcha, "a lot of bad things could come out, including a new trial. If we go around a second time, things could get even worse."
Depending on what the meaning of the word worse is.

int main(int argc, char **argv){

int previous_state = 0;
int state = 0;
int i = 0;
int j;
state_p st;
//here i want to have 20 structs st.
st = (state_p) malloc(sizeof(state_t) * 20);
previous_state = state;
scanf("%d", &state);
printf("%d, %d\n", state, previous_state);
if (previous_state != state){
printf("state changed %d %d\n", previous_state, state);
// here i got compile error:

save_state(st[i],previous_state, state);
return 0;
I suppose i have to change that
st[i] to smth like
st+ptr ? where pointer is incermeting in each loop iteration ? Or am I wrong ? When i change code: initialization into
state_p st[20] and in each loop iteration i put
st[i] = (state_p)malloc(sizeof(state_t)) everything works fine, but i want to dynammicly change number of elemets in that table.
Thx in advance for any help

The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness: Five Steps to Help Kids Create and…
by Edward M. Hallowell
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is one of the best books I've read for overall parenting, and I've read tons of parenting books. If your idea of parenting success is to raise a balanced, happy, child who feels loved, and at home in his/her skin, then read this book. Even if you are lacking in these attributes yourself, you can still make sure your child gets them. Hallowell himself overcame childhood traumas of a step parent's alcoholism and being shipped off to boarding school. This is a book that will give you hope and the strength to do what's best for your child.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345442334, Paperback)Here, at last, is a book brimming with the good news of raising children—the basic reassuring news about happiness and unconditional love, about enduring family connections and kids who grow up right. Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., father of three and a clinical psychiatrist, has thought long and hard about what makes children feel good about themselves and the world they live in. Now, in The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness, Dr. Hallowell shares his findings with all of us who care about children.
As Dr. Hallowell argues, we don't need statistical studies or complicated expert opinions to raise children. What we do need is love, wonder, and the confidence to trust our instincts. This inspiring book outlines a 5-step plan that all parents can use in giving their children the gift of happiness that will last a lifetime. Connection, play, practice, mastery, and recognition: as fundamental as these five concepts are, they hold the key to raising children with healthy self-esteem, moral awareness, and spiritual values. Dr. Hallowell explores each step in depth and shows how they work together to foster trust, respect, and joy.
Privilege, wealth, and expensive "extras" are not necessary for happiness—there are many stories here of children who have overcome poverty, abandonment, and shocking deprivation to find true fulfillment. Dr. Hallowell encourages us as parents to reconnect with the moments in our own childhoods that made a difference; he explores the impact of genetics and environmental factors on the inner workings of a child's mind; and he discusses how activities like team sports, community service, religious observance, and household chores can foster a child's sense of mastery.
Like the works of T. Berry Brazelton and Benjamin Spock, The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness is infused with the wisdom and humanity of a doctor who truly loves and understands children. Writing with the warmth of a friend and the authority of an expert, Dr. Hallowell gives us a book at once practical and exuberant, joyous and informative, eye-opening and reassuring. Ultimately, this book is a celebration of childhood and of the magic that happens between parents and the children they love.
