Meeting for their first debate Thursday, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi clashed on tax cuts for the wealthy, the health-care overhaul and whether gays should openly serve in the military.
SPOKANE — Meeting for their first debate Thursday, Democratic Sen. Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi clashed on tax cuts for the wealthy, the health-care overhaul and whether gays should openly serve in the military.
But above all, the rivals offered starkly different views of whether Murray's 18 years of experience in the U.S. Senate are beneficial for the state.
Murray said she listens every day to the concerns of ordinary Washingtonians and uses her clout to solve their problems in the Capitol.

"Washington state is my family, and my family is hurting," she said.
She blamed the economic morass facing families on "mistakes and greed on Wall Street" and said she'd "take on even the most powerful to make sure you have a voice at the table" as decisions on getting the country back to work are made.
But Rossi, the former state senator and two-time GOP contender for governor, accused Murray of being part of an entrenched power structure in Washington, D.C. He said Murray had been changed by her years in office and questioned which Washington she now represents.
"You have a senator who says one thing in Washington state and does another in Washington, D.C.," Rossi said, citing her votes on the health-care and financial overhauls and other measures he said are jacking up the federal debt.
Rossi attacked Murray for voting to adjourn the Senate in its recent session without acting on whether to extend President Bush's tax cuts of 2001 and 2003.
He said she was leaving great uncertainty to business owners about the taxes and regulations they'll face in the future.
Murray said she supports keeping the tax cuts for the middle class and accused Rossi of backing cuts for the wealthiest Americans that would increase the federal debt and make it hard to pay for important services.
Rossi repeatedly attacked the health-care overhaul supported by Murray, calling it a partisan bill that was hastily rammed through the Senate.
He said the law amounted to a $500 billion tax increase and would cost "tens of thousands" of jobs in Washington state. Rossi, who wants to repeal the law, said he'd back other changes like limiting medical-malpractice lawsuits and cutting regulations on insurers.
Murray defended the law, saying it was a step toward freeing Americans from the whims of insurance companies that were routinely raising premiums and denying coverage to sick people.
However, she acknowledged the law was "not perfect" and said after the debate she'd heard from business owners worried about new paperwork requirements that may be too onerous. She said she'd work to fix such problems.
Throughout the one-hour debate, Murray repeatedly accused Rossi of failing to answer specific questions beyond a few talking points.
For example, when asked about whether federal budget cuts could jeopardize Hanford cleanup, Rossi started talking about his experience cutting the state budget in 2003 without raising taxes. He said he'd take a similar approach in the U.S. Senate, cutting spending by ending the stimulus program and slowing federal hiring.
Murray pounced, saying Rossi didn't answer the Hanford question, and noted that thousands of workers at Hanford are now employed due to federal stimulus money. "He'd give them a pink slip," she said, and allow nuclear waste to seep toward water supplies.
In a rebuttal, Rossi said the biggest problem for Hanford is that Murray's Democratic allies, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, have taken Nevada's Yucca Mountain off the table as a nuclear-waste site. Murray, he suggested, had gone soft on Reid out of concern for his re-election chances.
"Our nuclear waste is going to be all dressed up with nowhere to go," Rossi said.
In a night where both candidates largely stuck to their standard talking points, Murray gave one of her most impassioned answers when asked about the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that bars gays from serving openly in the military.
A federal judge in Tacoma recently ruled that a decorated Air Force Reserve nurse, Major Margaret Witt, who was discharged for being a lesbian, should get her job back.
Murray called Witt "a hero" and talked about meeting an 18-year-old woman who said she feared she couldn't serve in the military as a lesbian because of the policy. "She should be able to pursue her dream," Murray said, adding that "don't ask, don't tell" should be ended.
Rossi didn't say where he stood on the policy, saying he wanted to wait for a report due from the military on the ramifications of ending "don't ask, don't tell."
"All this has to be done in a rational way," he said.
Before Thursday's debate, Spokane police arrested a 50-year-old man for menacing Murray supporters after he drove by them three times, waving a meat cleaver and yelling profanities. The man was booked into Spokane County Jail.
The only other scheduled debate for Murray and Rossi is set for Sunday in Seattle, hosted by KOMO-TV. Rossi asked for additional debates but Murray refused.
The competitive race has put Washington on the national midterm election map, bringing millions of dollars in TV advertising from national political committees and groups.
Murray, the fourth-ranking Democrat in the Senate, is also bringing a steady stream of Democratic stars to the state to fire up her political base.
President Obama will headline a rally next week at the University of Washington — his second recent visit on Murray's behalf.
Meanwhile, Republican Sen. John Thune of South Dakota was expected to appear at a campaign event with Rossi on Friday in Spokane to talk about veterans' issues.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said quarterback Derek Anderson will be given the chance to compete with Matt Leinart for the starting job, but he also made it clear that for now it's Leinart's job to lose.
"Certainly Matt has earned the right to be the guy and that's the way we're going forward as we proceed," Whisenhunt said Wednesday, after the Cardinals announced they had signed Anderson to a two-year contract.
A free agent released last week by the Browns, Anderson, 26, agreed to a deal worth $7.25 million, of which $3.25 million will be guaranteed. If he reaches maximum performance bonuses, the deal could be worth in excess of $18 million.
Speaking to Arizona reporters on a conference call, Anderson said he's looking forward to a fresh start in Arizona after four up-and-down seasons in Cleveland.
He made the Pro Bowl in 2007 during a breakout season in which he passed for 3,787 yards and 29 touchdowns. But Anderson, 6 feet 6 and 230 pounds, struggled the past two years and fell out of favor with the coaching staff. He also switched back and forth as the starter with Brady Quinn, who was traded to the Broncos earlier this week.
As for competing with Leinart for the starter's job here, Anderson was diplomatic when asked about the possibility.
"I've gone into every training camp I've been involved in thinking I'm going to play and get better," he said, "and my job will be to push Matt and make him better, too."
"My understanding was I'm coming there to be the No. 2 and compete and do what I've done over my career."
The Cardinals are still looking to add a third quarterback and will turn to free agency or the draft to find one. Whisenhunt said that may include re-signing a former player, presumably Brian St. Pierre.
As for Leinart, Whisenhunt's comments Wednesday were among his stronger endorsements for the quarterback since Kurt Warner announced his retirement earlier this year.
"Derek will get opportunities, especially with our first unit like we've done in the past," Whisenhunt said, referring to training camp. "But I'm also excited about Matt and seeing how he handles this situation he's in right now."
Whisenhunt said Leinart sent him a text Wednesday morning after reports surfaced that the Cardinals were on the verge of signing Anderson and the coach liked what Leinart had to say.
"He's fired up about where he is and about getting in here for the off-season program and working with the guys," Whisenhunt said, adding Leinart didn't overreact to other reports that suggested Whisenhunt had yet to fully endorse him as the starter.
"Rather than cringe from that, he said he was excited about the opportunity," Whisenhunt said. "He knew there as going to be competition but he was going to show he was ready to play and that, to me, indicated he was in a good place with it."
Asked whether Leinart would have to fail miserably in camp to lose the No. 1 job to Anderson, Whisenhunt said it's too early to even discuss such a thing.
"A lot of things can happen at the quarterback position," he said. "Right now, with us being 4� months from training camp, it would be premature to talk about that."
Anderson said the Browns ran a similar offense to that of the Cardinals, and he likes the players on Arizona's roster, namely wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
"It's pretty cool," he said. "Larry's one of the guys I've watched on tape and over the years. He's a phenomenal player and obviously, I look forward to getting to work him and the rest of the guys. They've got a very sturdy receiving corps."
Whisenhunt said the Cardinals remain in discussion with numerous free agents, but wasn't prepared to say whether any signings were imminent. It's believed the Cardinals have made an offer to Joey Porter, a free agent from the Dolphins who visited last week, but no team official could immediately confirm that.

Jom Makan!
Do you know much about Malaysian food? If not, head to Jom Makan … literal translation, 'Let's Go Eat'.
Opened very recently in Westfield Stratford, Jom Makan offers menus packed full with Malaysian family recipes, Kuala Lumpur street food and a whole host of dishes produced as a result of Western fusion.
Popular so far are Nasi Lemak Ayam, (a mixed plate of coconut rice and chicken rendang with a hard boiled egg and sprinkled with crispy fried anchovies, peanuts and spring onions, £8.90) and Roti Canai (traditional Malaysian griddled flat bread, £2.00).
But there's much more than just that to try. There are overwhelmingly large sharing menus for £22 and the addictive Kek Choklat (chocolate brownie with fresh lychee and grapes, £3.60) for those looking to indulge in pudding.
Give it a go. And if Westfield Stratford is too far for you .. Jom Makan can also be found at the other Westfield … and in Soho, too.

Small crit here, roads look too much like rivers, quickly at first I thought the roadway was running totally east to west? (needs a compass rose). Change to something dirt like. I'm not too keen on the lime green grass / vegetation areas, but both of these are just my personal opinions Very good job with what you have, you should have a long and fruitful journey here.

Agencies involved with the Smarter Choices Community Coalition Monday talked about ways to prevent underage drinking.
Tim Rutledge, director of training for the Regional Counterdrug Training Academy, said there are things parents can do at home. He says parents and their friends are sometimes guilty of providing alcohol.
Officials say people who start drinking before age 15 are five times more likely to have alcohol problems as adults.
"Everything begins with parents, what we see in the drug world," said Tim Rutledge, director of training at the regional Counterdrug training Academy. "When parents get involved, we see much less drug use with teenagers, particularly with alcohol. When teenagers see their parents consuming alcohol there is a likely chance that teenagers will drink alcohol more. And it's certainly the same as for drug use."
"We have law enforcement, the Alcohol Beverage Control commission, educators, members of the community, schools, and a lot of social service agencies. What that tells us is there's broad interest in this problem, and in addressing it," said Pace Emmons of Weems Community Mental Health.
The Smarter Choices Coalition has just completed its first year in existence. Officials say in 2005, Lauderdale County was third in the state in underage

Here is a direct quote from the late Peter Michael, Certified Master Chef \ Certified Culinary Educator \ Certified Master Chef Exam Judge: "My wife & I always get invited over to friends' homes for after dinner drinks. Guess why that is? But, I like a burger off the grill just as much as the next guy."
Well, everyone knew the answer...this man wasn't "just" a chef; his credentials were impressively intimidating. However, we ran into him and his wife one day at local fair and he was munching on a hot dog. Yet, his friends were too intimidated to cook for him. Kinda funny, isn't it. The man is happy with a fair food hotdog. Think the hot dog guy knew he was one of the most highly decorated chefs of the late 20th century?? I'd bet Chef Michael couldn't have cared less.
So, what is this all about?For me, culinary words & wisdom to live by. Chef Michael didn't just teach the culinary arts; he taught life. He was by far the most influential instructor I had at the CIA....and he taught us how to dice onions and make stock :) And the above quote has a far deeper connotation. I only had one friend who would cook for me when I graduated from the CIA. She knew that I was there to enjoy, not to critique. My mother who had cooked for me all my life, even felt intimidated. Why? I don't know. I don't pass judgement in those cases. It is all about enjoyment and appreciation. And you have to let your friends & family know that. Conversely, I also tell them not to ask for my professional opinion. I'm at your home enjoying food, wine, company, etc. I don't want to "work". I don't want to critique. I don't want to take a chance at hurting someone's feelings because something may not be technically correct and then cause an awkward situation. If I enjoyed it, I say so, much like anyone else would. But you never hear me say negative (because I'm sure it would be taken wrong) or overly positive (because once again, it may sound like I'm critiquing) because I feel either extreme would make me sound judgemental. Now, even if (insert the name of the best chef in the world in your opinion here) made a cauliflower-pea-sweetbread salad with pickled beet dressing, I wouldn't eat it. Four things I do not like. However, it doesn't mean I'm not eating it because it sucks: it is because I hate the main ingredients & nothing to do with anyone's cooking ability. God, I just want to relax and enjoy just like anyone else!!!! Believe me, critiquing is the last thing I want to do!
At restaurants it is the same thing. I ask if I'm not familiar with something. If the menu doesn't specify how a particular fish is cooked, I will ask as I'm not that big of a "fried fish in Peoria" fan (I've seen fish come out that looked entombed in crust; I prefer a "just barely breaded" fried fish). But after that, it is expectation and enjoyment. If I go to Captian Rons, I have certain expectations. I don't expect to have elaborate table settings, heavily reduced sauces and Art Culinare designed food. At French Toast, I do. I enjoy both for what they are and the experience they are trying to create. I pick the place to enhance the mood. Casual bite to eat with friends; Captain Ron's. Romantic evening out; French Toast. I seriously doubt the type of tomato is going to change those things much. So, when I post about restaurants here, I write about how they faired to my expectations. I will be a little more critical about the upscale white tablecloth places versus the mom & pop sandwich joint.
As the main thing is enjoyment, when I do my little reviews, I don't try to get too in depth. What I enjoyed, and didn't, and why. And yes, I do use a little "restaurant knowledge" when I write them, but not to sound like I'm from Zagats. Which brings me to a point: I've never understood those "star" ratings anyway. Two stars...is that two stars in comparison to what you expected, two stars compared to all the other meals you've ever eaten in your life or two stars compared to all of the exact same items you've eaten elsewhere? It may be the best meatloaf a critic has ever eaten and gives it 5 stars, but is it better than a perfectly prepared 10 oz. USDA Prime filet mignon from St. Elmo's in Indianapolis (it's probably CHEAPER)? I just don't get "stars".
Unfortunately, as Chef Michael suggested, we are in a profession that is vital to sustain life. People need to eat. Granted, not everyone needs or has to eat in a restaurant, etc. But as it is our profession, people sometimes rely on us for varied information about the betterment a life sustaining necessity. It is our obligation to provide them, to the best of our ability, with that information. (Doesn't mean I have to give you my secret BBQ sauce recipe, though....nice try :))
I think if you become a culinary militant on either side of the kitchen, you are going to have a hard life. In the kitchen, people won't want to work with you. At the table, people won't want to dine with you.
Eat and dine well, my friends. And don't forget to have your favorite Chef over for a burger.
See you around the table.....

Has Kourtney Kardashian Finally Had Enough Of Creepy Scott Disick?
September 03, 2012 04:00 PM by Lisa Princ
Scott Disick has never proven to be a great beau to Kourtney Kardashian, but most fans have been wondering when she would rid herself of the creep. Now, rumor has it that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star may have finally had enough, but did she give him the boot?
When you have two small children at home, and your beau is constantly out partying, you are obviously going to get fed up eventually, right? Many fans have been wondering this about Kourtney Kardashian, and it looks like she may finally be seeing the light, that is, according to friends of the reality star.
As Kourtney, Kim, and the clan will begin taping for Kourtney and Kim Take Miami this fall, In Touch magazine now claims that Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick will be living in separate apartments while filming, because Kourtney is fed up with her
professional creeper of a beau boyfriend.
While an insider revealed that Kourtney is fed up with Scott's partying ways, they went on to add that living separately may not be the best idea either. "Scott's friends in Miami are partiers, and they're all in the club scene — so he'll be worse than ever. With his own apartment, he'll have the privacy to do whatever he wants without Kourtney knowing," the pal told In Touch.
While the above will likely prove true, it will certainly bring one thing to the table for the show: drama, and lots of it! "She'll still have to film with Scott every day and hear about all the bad things he's done, without being able to do anything about it," the source went on to add, noting that there will be a ton of drama unfolding for us to see.
But, this leaves us wondering – is Kourtney going to live separately from Scott because she is fed up with him, or is this all a ploy for drama, because drama = ratings? Could this be exactly what Kourtney needs to rid herself of him? What do you think of this story? Comment and share your thoughts with us below!

Wow these personal attacks are getting, well personal. If you're going to keep attacking me then why not have something a little more tasteful and believable.

I like Scott, yes hes a little over the top sometimes but maybe hes more misunderstood? He adds alot of reality to the Kardashian life other than fancy things and living the high life cuz face it, everyone in America has a Scott in their life…. Scott I will say this though, there is always a place and time for partying and it should include your love…

Hey, I'm 75 yrs old and I think Scott is Hot! He is good looking, has a great sense of humor, and is a classy dresser. He's also good to his kids and puts up with the rest of that goofy family.
Kourtney acts like she's got a cob up her ass, always uptight. She needs to lighten up.
Nikki Says:

I like Scott. I think he's a good father..I like Kourt too but she can be….a little harsh sometimes. lol Scott deserves a little more credit than what anyone gives him, in my opinion.

Since this thread over four years old was resurrected, I thought about asking another question to Pam and Linda: Does it look like either of you will be grandmothers anytime soon? Since all of your kids are grown (or almost grown, I'm not sure about Pam's youngest), I wondered if any of your children are in a position where they'll likely to have kids of their own in the near future or not.

It' s not imminent but I'm sure will be a lot of fun if and when it happens! I'm not sure I'll be allowed to give naming advice, though.Pam Satran

We have been working on this network for quite a while, but since much of our team moved quite a distance things have been slowing to roll out. We have much to introduce you to, but for now we want to get started with connecting and promoting those in our network. Â
What makes this network and directory different from others?
There are blog directories that rank your blog based on the amount of times a person clicks on a button on your side bar. This will then require that your readers would click each time they visit your blog. I find this to be an inaccurate way to share the value of your blog with others.
Then there are directories that will list your blog with a requirement to link back. I feel that is fair since they are listing your blog for free, however many do not promote your blog and it gets lost in a sea of alphabetical listings. It simply serves the purpose of getting your main URL on one site and that is all well and good, but it really doesn't make a big difference in the long run. You would need to get your link on hundreds of sites for the link to your blog to have a powerful impact through Google's search engines.
Another style of directory lists the blog, it's URL and a short description and a small graphic or photo of you. But on a site that has a directory of 10 pages with 20 blogs each page you have to search for a long time to find one you might have something in common with. Another problem is that some bloggers drop out of blogging and you may click through 10 blogs before you find one that is current.
The hit count style of blog listing is one that has a computer generated authority that informs the listing site which blogs have the most hits. Do you think your blog has what it takes to compete with bloggers who have been at it for 5 or more years? Will your blog ever be seen in the top ten? As long as those bloggers stay at it, your blog will need to be quite an outstanding blog in order to get to their position in the directory. This doesn't give readers a chance to be introduced to fresh new bloggers with unique styles and perspectives.
Some networks allow your friends to find your blog listing and get connected as a follower. This is good for those who want to befriend your friends and find similar blogs in your niche. After an initial introduction to the network and following a handful of people, they surf away to another site and rarely return. How often do you go back to a blog directory to read the new listings? How long does it take to search through the site to find what you're looking for? How often do you think people are doing this in order to find you and how easy is it for them to discover you?
I'm not saying you should stop listing your blogs and doing all you can to network, but the Family Blog Network is designed to not only:
- get your blog listed,
- get featured,
- be promoted,
- get connected with others,
- be encouraged to blog relationally,
- but also to have actual people read and review your blog and highlight what makes your blog unique.
We aim to see your blog be introduced to other readers and bloggers. We want to get you connected with people whose topics compliments yours and vice versa. On a color wheel you will find that one color compliments another to bring the décor of a room into balance and beauty, but a monochrome room might become bland for to regular visitors. Blogging can become the same way. Yes, you can become an expert in your topic, but a good blogger will introduce their readers to guest bloggers who specialize in other topics. Let us help you get connected with bloggers who compliment you.
How do we accomplish this?
First of all we invite you to get listed for free with a reciprocating link back. Copy and paste this code into your blog's side bar or footer.Â
When we have confirmed the link back is on your site, we will put your blog in the queue to be listed. Let us know which categories you want to be listed in. (details below)
Include the following information:
- Name:
- Blog Name:
- Blog URL:
- Email:
- Twitter:
- Facebook page:
- Short description:
- Location (optional): (Locations will be listed in our state listings)
- Categories desired:
A word about categories:
We'll start with a few of the popular categories and add more as needed. Blogs that contain a variety of categories may add their blog to the Variety listing as well as the individual categories provided that your blog has at least 30% of it's articles in that category. For example if your blog is 30% recipes 30% gardening 30% homemaking 10% photography, then you cannot list your blog under photography, but you can get listed in the other categories.
Code to your 125×125 blog button {optional}Â If you do not have a button, we will use a pre-made generic button.
Include up to 10 keywords for your blog:
Please allow 2-3 weeks for your listing to be published. You will be contacted once your listing is available. This time frame may be lengthened as the demand increases.
Your listing will then be put into the reviewer's cue for future Blog Feature publication. All Featured Blogs are promoted on our Twitter and Facebook page.
This is just the beginning! We have so much to share, but don't want to overwhelm you. Â This is a good start and if you get in now, it will make it easier to get involved with the other fun stuff as it is introduced.
Here are the qualifications {This is important to keep our network family friendly}
- Join the network, it's free.
- Upload a profile photo.
- Blogs must be family friendly. A general rule of thumb is that the content and photos be G or PG rated. Some PG-13 topics are permitted(but not PG-13 photos), but remain under the sole discretion of our network to decide before listing your blog. We don't want to censor your blog, so please use your best judgment, honesty, and integrity in joining our network.
You can copy the above information about your blog AND your Pix-O-Sphere profile link (go join for free!) and paste it into the submission page here.
Do not miss the updates! Be sure to subscribe here to get all future updates which will be posted on this blog. Once the directory pages launch, we'll be announcing it here, on Facebook, and on Twitter.
You can link up with our public link up to any of our categories in the mean time.
Can't wait to hear from you!

I have a function that works fine:
z x y =show(x)++show(y)++show(x*y)
It's really just a function that convert some numbers into a string. Then I quicksort the string with my quick sort function.
quicksort.z 2 3
but here I get the error
Couldn't match expected type `a0 -> [a1]' with actual type `[Char]'
In the return type of a call of `z'
In the second argument of `(.)', namely `z 2 3'
In the expression: flagskib . z 2 3
I tried fixes like parentheses and use of the $ function, but no help.
I appreciate any words on it. The problem is already fixed so the whole meaning of this post is to learn.

By Vanessa Manko
Copyright 2003 Vanessa Manko
NEW YORK -- The Living
Dance Studio's "Report on the Body," seen earlier this month at
Dance Theater Workshop, begins while the audience mills around the
lobby of the Bessie Schonberg Theater. A group of six women move
en masse through the pre-performance hustle and bustle, emerging
from the crowd and silencing the spectators they leave in their
wake. As the audience moves into the theater, so too do these six
women, forging onward toward the stage where images of live audience
members in their seats are projected onto a backdrop screen. The
dancers then trace the shape of a man's balding head, run their
fingers over a woman's eyes, and smooth out another woman's hair.
All the while giggles and nervous laughter can be heard from the
audience. Some audience members play with the dancers, moving away
just as hands come too close to a man or woman's projected image.
Thus, "Report on the Body" plunges one right into the performance,
making the audience an immediate part of what is about to unfold.
The prelude is just
one of the many vivid stagings created by the collaboration between
choreographer Wen Hui and filmmaker Wu Wenguang for this China-based
company. This multi-media work, combining film, dance, and text,
paints a striking portrait of contemporary Chinese society by presenting
a series of images dealing with the female body. Yet, these images
are abstracted and disjointed, resulting in a collage effect which
borders on the chaotic and absurd. The influence of Bauschian dance-theatre
is quite strong in "Report on the Body." This is no surprise given
Wen Hui has studied with the dance-theatre pioneer along with other
postmodern choreographers like Trisha Brown. But the Bauschian preoccupation
with sex roles and woman's place in society is particularly apparent
in "Report on the Body."
Yet this brand of dance-theatre
focuses on China at the dawn of a new century and evokes the excesses
of consumerism and the new market economy. This is perhaps best
represented through the costumes that are such a fundamental part
of this work. Clothes in disarray, clothes thrown in bags onto the
stage or scattered across the floor, or even swept into a square
make up a great deal of the action in this piece. The garments,
while representing excess, also comment on the role of women in
Chinese society. Female dancers sweep, carry, fold and frolic among
the plethora of attire. The weight and drudgery of household duties
and everyday chores is invoked through the repetitive task of moving
clothes from one area of the stage to another.
In a particularly striking
moment, performers clad in elongated silk dresses of neon blue,
red, and lime green raise their hands above their heads. Their bodies
literally disappear within the fabric and the result is larger-than-life
dancing dresses; the female body evoked, yet eerily absent. All
the while, images of every-day life in China are projected onto
the screen: laundry spinning in the washing machine, a Microsoft
Word document upon which is written stories of a person's humble
life. Later, a traveling businesswoman, with wheeling suitcase in
tow, presents an incessant diatribe on the market economy in a smattering
of French and English. She is then swept into a heap of clothing
and another woman affixes her to her travel suitcase with duct tape.
As absurd as these vignettes
are, they all have an intensity and desperation to them -- an underlying
anxiety that seems to bespeak the state of contemporary China, or
at least the modern China that Hui and Wenguang want us to see.
The flailing limbs of the dancers as they slide and run through
discarded clothing, or the sensuous duet a dancer performs with
a folding chair, elicit a visceral and intimate interpretation of
not only contemporary China in general, but the place of women in
that society -- present, yet in the background, perhaps screaming
to be heard. A particularly compelling moment in this piece occurs
when a woman is enfolded into the white expanse of a cloth that
is draped across the back of the stage. Her body floats eerily amid
the film images that are projected onto her body. In another instance,
the draped cloth is lifted to reveal a long line of folding chairs,
upon which four dancers sit and march out rhythms. This soon leads
to a game of jump-rope. Dancers are now clad in costumes with distended
bellies and sagging breasts; the female body, representative of
China, is weary and weighed down by modernity.
While "Report on the
Body" is filled with graphic, startling images, it also contains
fleeting moments of beauty. When a woman sits and gabs on her cell
phone, a man pulls on her red silk dress which stretches in one
bold band of color across the stage like a path leading to somewhere.
She is then gone in a flash, dragged off the stage in one swift
tug. The energy and sheer rawness of the dancers is what makes this
piece such a strong statement on the modern condition, and though
it deals primarily with the state of China, the images and meanings
speak across cultures. In addition to Wen Hui and Wu Wenguang, the
other fine dancers included Zheng Fuming, Feng Dehua, Wang Yanan,
Wang Mei, and Estelle Zheng.

Delmarva Christian High School presents first full musical, 'Fiddler on the Roof'
Delmarva Christian High School performed its first full musical, "Fiddler on the Roof," to rave audience reviews this spring.
More than 40 DCHS students were directly involved in the school's production, and many others helped make the play a tremendous success. Students, parents, teachers and members of the surrounding community joined the effort.
"I've attended many other high school performances over the years, and I thought Delmarva Christian's performance of 'Fiddler on the Roof' surpassed all the others. It was a stellar performance! Job well done," said Paula Swenkowski after watching the school's rendition of the renowned classic.
Pam Parker said, "The performance was awesome. The cast and the crew did an excellent job and Mr. Douglas did an outstanding job casting the play. The students were absolutely awesome."
"Wow! I did not have any anticipation when we started this school year that the growing arts department at DCHS would have the energy, ambition and resources to pull together our first full musical," said Principal Mike Vonhof.
More than three years ago, W. Scott Kemerling, the founding principal of DCHS, desired to see the school's arts program grow to include performing arts in addition to the already established visual arts class. After finding the right individual to lead the charge and with the support of the DCHS Board, Jonathan Douglas was hired. Since then, Douglas has taken Kemerling's original vision and shaped it into a program. This year, the DCHS arts program has expanded with the addition of Linda Perry, who is directing the choral program, and Patti McCallum, who has begun an instrumental program.

Plato's Allegory of the Cave is one of the most famous pieces of philosophical literature. This edition was translated by Benjamin Jowett and has been completely revised and updated. Proofreader's Note: There are some punctuation errors that were left intact because they were present in the print copy.
The Collected Dialogues of Platoby Plato Edith Hamilton Huntington Cairns Lane Cooper
All the writings of Plato generally considered to be authentic are here presented in the only complete one-volume Plato available in English. The editors set out to choose the contents of this collected edition from the work of the best British and American translators of the last 100 years, ranging from Jowett (1871) to scholars of the present day. The volume contains prefatory notes to each dialogue, by Edith Hamilton; an introductory essay on Plato's philosophy and writings, by Huntington Cairns; and a comprehensive index which seeks, by means of cross references, to assist the reader with the philosophical vocabulary of the different translators.
The Dialogues of Platoby Plato
This is an EXACT reproduction of a book published before 1923. This IS NOT an OCR'd book with strange characters, introduced typographical errors, and jumbled words. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process.

Four Texts on Socrates: Plato's Euthyphro, Apology and Crito, and Aristophanes' Clouds (Revised Edition)by Plato Aristophanes Thomas G. West Grace S. West
Widely adopted for classroom use, this book offers translations of four major works of ancient Greek literature which treat the life and thought of Socrates, focusing particularly on his trial and defense (the platonic dialogues Euthyphro, Apology of Socrates, and Crito) and on the charges against Socrates (Aristophanes' comedy Clouds). This is the only collection of the three Platonic dialogues that also includes Clouds, a work that is fundamental for understanding the thought of Socrates in relation to the Athenian political community and to Greek poetry. Thomas G. West's introduction provides an overview of the principal themes and arguments of the four works. There are extensive explanatory notes to the translations. For this new edition, Thomas West has revised the introduction and updated the annotated bibliography, which includes the best of the secondary literature on Socrates and on the texts included in this book. In their translations, the Wests capture successfully the simplicity and vigor of straightforward Greek diction. They strive for as high a degree of accuracy as possible, subordinating concerns for elegance and smoothness to the goal of producing the most faithful and most reliable English versions of these texts.
Gorgiasby Plato Donald J. Zeyl
"This is an excellent translation. It achieves a very high standard of accuracy and readability, two goals very difficult to attain in combination when it comes to such a master of prose and philosophical argument as Plato. Because of this the book is suitable for courses at all levels in philosophy, from introductory courses on Plato, or problems in Philosophy, to graduate seminars.

Heart of Stone
by M. L. Welsh
No current Talk conversations about this book.
In this, her second tale, Verity Gallant lives up to her name again. She is truly brave and good, but she is not perfect, she makes mistakes, and this is what makes her a strong and admirable character. With her friends, Henry Twogood and Martha Platt, she enjoys their beautiful, quiet harbor town of Wellow (I love that name; it sounds like a wonderful place), walking on the downs, sailing Henry's dinghy, "Poor Honesty," and cozying up in the library. All is well until an insiduous white sand begins worming its way into Wellow, and into the library in particular. All the villagers start having horrible dreams. Verity realizes the sand has something to do with the "Original Stories" known by her Gentry Grandfather and the kind, but mysterious librarian, Miss Cameron. She discovers that the sand is scouring away the happy original stories, trying to make the world a sad place. The sand is the Earth Witch, who is trying to return to seek revenge on her sister, the Mistress of the Storm (from the first book in the tales), who stole her true love. Miss Cameron and the children start re-inking the damaged stories in an effort to stop the destruction. It is exhausting, endless work. Verity learns that the odd, rather pitiable new chemistry teacher is not what he seems, but the servant of the Earth Witch. She puts herself in grave danger to thwart him. Verity and her friends struggle with exhaustion, but press on, knowing that to stop will bring chaos. I pictured looming, grey skies during these dark parts of the story. The myths, though a bit confusing at times, bring depth and mystery to the plot, but it is the well-drawn characters and the setting that drive the story. I look forward to more Verity Gallant Tales!
After I finished the novel, I searched the web for the author and found www.veritygallant.co.uk. Melanie Welsh grew up on the Isle of Wight, south of England, in a small fishing village. She was an avid reader like Verity. Wellow is a combination of the town of Ventnor on Wight and elements of Southwold, where she lives now. One reader said that Wellow was a character in itself. I agree! When a setting seems like a place I'd like to visit, even live, it has come alive for me. The library in the story is based on the Southwold Sailors' Reading Room, which was established in 1864 as a rest and recreation site for sailors. Today it is a recreation room and museum. All of these facts contribute to my love of the stories.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0385752431, Hardcover)After a wonderful summer of sailing, Verity Gallant just wants life to stay the same forever. But as she should know by now, not everything in life turns out as we would like. The land is shifting beneath the ancient harbour town of Wellow, causing mysterious caves to appear in cliff faces, terrifying rock falls, and dangerous landslides. And the earth isn't the only thing crumbling . . . Verity is thrilled that Jeb has returned, but their feelings for each other threaten her friendship with Henry and Martha.
Verity and her friends are embroiled in a tale of evil, intrigue, and lost love, as a powerful force works its way towards Wellow, hell-bent on putting an end to all happiness. The Heart of Stone is the key, and the race is on to find it.

When a strange white sand invades the harbor town of Wellow and land begins shifting, Verity Gallant finds clues in ancient books and, with her friends, tries to stop the Earth Witch's evil plan to deprive the world of happiness as she was once robbed of her true love .… (more)

Huskies force decisive 3rd game
Published: Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 2:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, May 25, 2014 at 2:40 p.m.
Florida finally lost a Super Regional game and will face visiting Washington at 3:10 p.m. today with a Women's College World Series berth on the line.
The No. 8 Huskies forced the third game with a 4-3 win over the No. 6 Gators on Sunday, snapping Florida's 11-game Super Regional winning streak.
Washington starting pitcher Kaitlin Inglesby gave up a two-run homer in the top of the fifth to UF's Lauren Haeger that gave Florida a 3-2 lead. Haeger fouled off five straight pitches with a 3-2 count before launching her 20th homer of the season.
But in the bottom of the inning, she returned the favor, giving up a two-run homer to Inglesby with two outs.
Florida is now 49-12 and Washington is 37-14.
The 12th-seeded Huskies used a pair of well-placed hits to put Florida behind for the first time this postseason.
Florida scored to start the game on a Stephanie Tofft double after Kelsey Stewart had walked and stolen second.
But Washington ended Florida's streak of 24⅔ scoreless innings pitched when Kelli Seguro blooped a single to center to score Whitney Jones, who had reached on a two-base error by Tofft.
In the fourth inning, Dani Brown's grounder off the glove of first baseman Taylor Schwarz brought home Jones, who had doubled to give the Huskies a 2-1 lead.
Tofft led off the top of the seventh with her fourth hit of the game but Haeger tapped weakly into a double play. Briana Little reached on an error by third baseman Jennie McNeill before Bailey Castro flew out to left field.

No. 25 Baylor Defeats Iowa State
WACO, Texas - Cyclone Erica Miller collected her 18th multi-hit game of the season on Friday night, going 2-for-3 at the plate, as Iowa State (14-34, 2-17 Big 12) dropped a 7-0 decision at No. 25 Baylor (31-19, 8-13 Big 12).
In her 13th complete game of the season, Bears starter Courtney Repka (16-11) allowed just three hits and struck out four of the 24 Cyclones she faced.
Cyclone freshman Lexi Slater led off the game with a bloop hit to right field but was stranded at third base after a sacrifice bunt from Sara Davison, a fly out from Miller and a pop up from Tori Torrescano to end the threat.
A sac fly from Kaitlyn Thumann plated Baylor's first run in the bottom of the first, followed by a two-out RBI double from Megan Turk to put the Bears up 2-0 after six outs.
Thumann struck again in the third with a single back to Torrescano to bring home Kathy Sheldon who reached on an error to lead off the inning, and another Cyclone error plated Kayce Walker for the 4-0 Baylor lead.
The Cyclones' recorded their second hit on a Miller single to right field with one out in the fourth but Miller would get no future after a line out by Torrescano and a Dalyn Varela strike out.
Walker crossed home again in the fifth frame on a throwing error by Iowa State to extend Baylor's lead to 5-0.
Miller collected her second hit of the game with a two-out double to left in the sixth before a swinging strike out by Torrescano sent the game into the bottom of the frame.
Baylor's final runs came home in the sixth on a fielder's choice and the Cyclones' fourth error of the game.
Torrescano (8-24) was charged with two earned runs on 10 Baylor hits, walking one and fanning two.
Saturday's game two begins at 2 p.m. CST at Getterman Stadium.

Business Law
Ask a Business Lawyer. Get Business Law Questions Answered ASAP.
Hello, I will try to help you. Please remember I just report or interpret the law, so the outcome may not be what you hoped for. Is the owner buying assets or is it a stock transaction? Do you have a sales agreement? Are you personally guaranteeing any of the company's debts?
The owner is buying assets. We have a sales agreement and No, I'm not personally guaranteeing any of the company's debts.
You should include as part of the contract of sale an agreement on your running the company. The way ownership of the assets is transferred is by a bill of sale for transferring personal property. If their are vehicles you would transfer title to the vehicles. With respect to intellectual property, you would do an assignment of the license to software on an exclusive basis. Real property you have to transfer by deed. The transfer should take place at the time set forth in the agreement. Once the assets are transferred you are no longer responsible for losses or profits as those belong to the new owner. You are just an employee. If there are licenses such as sales tax licenses or business licenses, the appropriate authorities have to be notified and new licenses issued in the name of the new company which should have its own tax ID number. If the new owner wants you to operate the business, that should be reflected in the employment contract I first mentioned. You should open a new bank account in the name of the new business using their tax ID number not your current tax ID number. If I have answered your question please rate my answer excellent as that is how I am compensated. If you have more questions let me know. Finally, if the answer was especially helpful you can provide a bonus. If I can be of further assistance or you have other questions in the future you can ask for me and reach me at this site.

The Bachelor: ABC Releases Official Details on Brad Womack's New Season on The Bachelor
December 09, 2010 11:00 AM by Shayla Perry
We've already gotten a rundown of the new season of The Bachelor from Reality Steve, but now, ABC has released official details on Brad Womack's return, giving fans a preview of what to expect when the show premieres in January. The slap in the face, the return of DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft, the "vampire lady," the dates–it's all here…
Here is the official press release from ABC:
Brad [Womack] returns to the Malibu mansion, but is caught completely off guard when Chris Harrison escorts in two surprise guests – DeAnna [Pappas] and Jenni [Croft]! As if he weren't anxious enough, Brad must face the two women he scorned three years ago. He attempts to sincerely apologize to them, but will they accept his heartfelt mea culpa?
(Note: This is obviously a pre-taped segment, since we know that both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft have since moved on, and probably would've preferred it if they were the ones that got to slap Brad in the face–on camera–rather than listen to his "sincere" apology. Okay–we probably would've preferred it too.)
The 30 women are not sure whom they're going to meet — and there is no telling how they'll react when they find out who the controversial man is. Brad knows he has a lot to prove, and his worst fears are confirmed when the first bachelorette greets him with a slap to the face. Many of the women question Brad's intentions, but things lighten up when one emotional bachelorette jumps into his arms, and then a fun-loving nanny playfully grabs his rear end.
Inside the mansion, the women are bowled over by Brad's good looks but continue to express concerns about this past. Brad immediately assures them that he's a changed man, asking them to please give him a chance to show it. They respond by asking him some tough questions, putting the nervous Bachelor on the spot. But Brad does hit it off with a sweet Southern girl who doesn't care about his past.
The competition heats up with the arrival of the 'first impression' rose. As the women begin to believe in Brad, they fight for his attention. One woman with a 'rip-roaring' career leaves Brad speechless as he samples her work, while a dancer from a famed troupe tries to teach Brad a few dance moves, and a mysterious model literally shows him her fangs, leading Brad to question this enigmatic woman's motives. But one shy blonde is ready to fall in love, even if she's not ready to tell Brad about her tragic past.
The Bachelor awards the 'first impression' rose to the woman who turned his night around. Finally, after a sincere thank you to the women for giving him a second chance, he regretfully must eliminate 10 bachelorettes, confident that his future wife is among the 20 women left.
Romantic and adventurous dates will reach new heights this season, testing the ladies' perseverance in pursuing their romantic objective, along with fun, exciting and exotic dates that will elicit real and raw passions.
One lucky bachelorette receives an extravagant makeover and then is escorted by Brad to share a private concert by the hit band Train at the Hollywood Bowl. Brad takes another woman to the famed Capitol Records studios for a recording session, where superstar Seal steps in to serenade the couple as only he can.
A group of the women meet up with the Bachelor to shoot public service announcements for the American Red Cross, trying to show him another side of their personalities. Nine bachelorettes join Brad in the radio studio of the popular 'Loveline' show, where they reveal their hopes and fears about love to celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Drew.
The air crackles with passion and fireworks when Brad takes 11 bachelorettes on a wild trip to Las Vegas, including a visit to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for a very competitive NASCAR date and a behind-the scenes visit to Cirque du Soleil's 'Viva Elvis' show to learn aerial ballet routines.
And then the remaining women fly from the bright lights of the Vegas strip to the exotic jungles of Costa Rica, where Brad takes one lucky lady zip-lining over the treetops, and a group rappels down a treacherous waterfall. The tropical island paradise of Anguilla is the next stop for an exciting Caribbean adventure.
The final three women are treated to a thrilling trip to South Africa, which serves as a romantic background as passions ignite. Who will win Brad's heart? Will he be able to finally overcome his fear of commitment and perhaps propose to his future wife? Or will he end up disappointed?
As in the past, women will continue to be eliminated each week, but if at any point along the way a woman should decide that she's no longer interested in the Bachelor, she can reject his invitation to continue dating. Some lucky women will meet his family, and he will visit their hometowns for a slice of their lives in an effort to determine the woman with whom he is most compatible.

People seem to confuse the two. Lets see if I can confuse you a little bit more. All Realtors are licensed real estate agents but not all real estate agents are Realtors. All cleared up?
Let me explain. In order to sell real estate in any state you must be licensed by a state licensing authority. You have to take so many hours of classroom and then pass an exam. You are now a licensed real estate agent. In order to become a licensed real estate broker you will have to serve an apprenticeship, take some more classroom hours and then pass another test.
How do you become a Realtor? You apply to your local board for membership. You then attend an orientation class. You are taught how the little R means big things. The ethics training is so important and vital to being a Realtor. Realtors are the largest trade organization in the world. We have over 1 million members in the National Association of Realtors - NAR. Realtors are provided with continuing educational courses to keep them current with local, state and national events and issues.
I am biased but my recommendation to anyone wanting to sell their real estate - hire a Realtor.

Right and wrong ways to set up a remote office
Setting up a remote office presents a set of challenges whether you're accommodating a new branch location or a telecommuter's home office. To smooth the process, take a look at recommendations offered by Michael Rosenbaum, founder and CEO of Catalyst IT Services.
The first step is getting the timing right, Rosenbaum says in an article by CIO magazine's Rich Hein. Carefully assess whether a new location will bring a positive return on the investment before committing to the launch.
Next, be sure that the remote office consistently reflects the company mission and does not become a disparate body. Replicate the culture of the main office by detailing a team of employees from the original office to set up the new one. If there's an IT glitch at the new location, send someone to fix it in person rather than trying to do it from afar.
"The team will generally always chime in with other things they need, but that they wouldn't normally bring up because, 'we wouldn't want to bother you.' It's just basic human nature that we don't want to inconvenience someone with a laundry list. By showing a willingness to support, in person, our remote office, we continue to build that camaraderie and company culture," Rosenbaum said.
Communication, of course, is always vital. Establish a plan to prevent remote workers from feeling isolated. A regularly scheduled phone call, perhaps weekly, is a good idea, even if it has to be canceled at times. It gives everyone a chance to talk about things that aren't necessarily urgent. In-person meetings from time to time are very helpful as well. Figure out what collaboration tools will work best in your situation and make the most of them. A platform for sharing ideas among offices in different time zones helps everyone feel more connected.

WHEELING - Citing an increased cost of doing business and also additional costs related to the cleanup of two major storms in 2012, Appalachian Power and Wheeling Power, both subsidiaries of American Electric Power, on Monday filed a request with the Public Service Commission of West Virginia for a $226 million revenue increase.
If approved, the request would raise rates in West Virginia by approximately 17 percent, the company said. The exact amount of the increase will vary by customer class and usage.
For example, a residential customer using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month would see a 23 percent rate increase, while a residential customer using 2,000 kilowatt-hours per month would yield a more than 25 percent increase.
Appalachian Power spokeswoman Carmen Prati-Miller said historically, commercial and industrial customers have subsidized residential rates. The new rate structure more closely reflects the cost of service for each customer class, she said.
"This is a base rate case the commission required us to file in which we present our costs of doing business," said Charles Patton, Appalachian Power president and chief operating officer. "It includes things like storm restoration costs from the Derecho and Sandy, implementation of a right-of-way maintenance program to improve reliability, and a return that is sufficient to attract capital. Ultimately, the commission will determine the outcome of the request."
The utility said the revenue bump is needed to recover the increased cost of maintaining and improving distribution and transmission lines as well as generating plants.
Fact Box
If approved, how Appalachian Power's rate increase would affect resident's pocketbooks:
- For a homeowner who uses 1,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, the bill would go from its current $94 to $115.77, an increase of $21.77, or slightly more than 23 percent
- For a homeowner who uses 2,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity per month, the bill would go from its current $176.95 to $221.54, an increase of $44.59, or slightly more than 25 percent
Electricity rates in West Virginia have remained steady since 2011.
"Keeping the lights on is our customers' number one requirement," Patton said. "It's up to us to balance that requirement with the need to keep prices as low as possible. To ensure that service remains reliable, we need to make investments to maintain our infrastructure."
The requested increase includes costs for major storm restoration efforts and a new vegetation management program. The company is seeking recovery of restoration costs from the two major storms that struck West Virginia in 2012, the Derecho on June 29 and Superstorm Sandy on Oct. 29. The company proposes to spread those costs over a five-year period to reduce the impact on rates.
The filing also includes costs for the recently-approved cycle-trimming vegetation management program.
While cycle trimming won't eliminate outages from major events like the Derecho and Sandy, it will help improve reliability, reduce power restoration times and minimize some restoration and ongoing maintenance costs.
Appalachian Power also is seeking to be more efficient as a company. The utility utilizes an efficiency program called "Lean" throughout its service territory, which is designed to engage employees in finding ways to eliminate waste and add value to customers. Plus, the company has implemented two major budget-cutting initiatives and reduced its workforce by more than 10 percent in the last five years.
The filing with the PSC also requests a 10.62 percent return on equity.
"The rates the commission approves for our company are established to allow us to provide safe, clean, reliable electric service while keeping prices as affordable as possible and earning a fair return on investment," Patton said.

Trajectory Tracking for Systems with Pointwise and Distributed Delays with Input Constraint

This paper deals with the control of linear systems with delays and constrained input. The control law aims at forcing the output of the system to follow a reference trajectory compatible with the input constraint while preserving the closed loop stability. Thus, a control law including the constraint is designed using the pole placement technique with pseudo-polynomials to take the delays into account. Using tools from the input-output approach, conditions are given on the closed loop poles such that the control law solves the reference tracking problem.

Space enthusiasts get brief glimpse of the transit of Venus
FLEETVILLE - It was brief. It was fleeting.
But for a few moments, a little black dot was visible against the orange glow of the sun.
Just after 8 p.m., the clouds broke and the transit of Venus made the day of a group of space enthusiasts at the Thomas G. Cupillari Observatory in Fleetville on Tuesday night.
People scrambled to adjust their eyepieces and clambered for their cameras to snap a shot of the black outline of the planet slowly traversing in front of the sun, a phenomenon that won't occur again for at least another 100 years.
"It'll be my grandkids or great-grandkids watching the next one," said Carbondale resident Mary Sinkovich, who was perched on a stool, calling out excitedly for the 20 or so seconds her scope landed on Venus.
From the U.S. to South Korea, people around the world turned their attention to the daytime sky on Tuesday and early today in Asia to make sure they caught the once-in-a-lifetime sight of the transit of Venus, according to The Associated Press.
The last transit happened in 2004, and the next one is expected to be visible in 2117, said Jeremy Sepinsky, Ph.D., an assistant professor of physics with specialty in astrophysics at the University of Scranton.
Venus, which is extremely hot, is one of Earth's two neighbors and is so close in size to our planet that scientists at times call them near-twins. During the transit, it appears as a small dot, according to The Associated Press.
Both members of the public and from the Lackawanna Astronomical Society were camped out for about two hours with coffee and jackets, praying that the ominous gray sky would clear for even a few minutes.
Jo-Ann Kamichitis, vice president of Lackawanna Astronomical Society, saw the last transit in 2004.
"Seeing one of the two in the century isn't bad," she said before the clouds broke, wondering if she'd have the chance to see the second.
When the sun peeked through and she saw the transit, she was beyond pleased, snapping photos through her telescope.
