Board of Directors Appoints CEO Kabat to Vice Chair; COO Carmichael Promoted to Bancorp President
Fifth Third Bancorp's (Nasdaq: FITB) Board of Directors today announced that it has given Kevin T. Kabat the additional title of vice chairman, effective immediately. Kabat will continue to serve as chief executive officer, a position he has held since 2007, and as a board member.
"The Board is pleased that Kevin will add the additional title of vice chairman, given his outstanding leadership and performance during the most challenging time in our industry's history," said William Isaac, chairman of the Fifth Third Bancorp Board of Directors. "The Board has the utmost confidence in Kevin and in his ability to lead our Company now and in the future and this new title reflects that confidence."
Isaac added that the structure of the Board of Directors will remain the same, with a non-executive chairman and an independent lead director.
Also today Kevin Kabat announced that the Board of Directors has promoted Greg Carmichael to president and COO, effective immediately.
Carmichael has served as chief operating officer since 2006. In 2008 he assumed responsibility for Fifth Third Mortgage Company, Consumer Finance and Dealer Finance and in 2009 his responsibilities were expanded to include the Retail Bank, Investment Advisors, Business Banking and all affiliates and markets. With his promotion to president, Carmichael will now have additional responsibility for the National Commercial Line of Business.

After the 10-3 Dome season, the Tigers finished 6-5 in 2007, good for another playoff spot, but with an earlier exit than they were used to — the first round.
With a younger team and new players expected to fill the holes left by top-tier players, Commerce looks to re-create the powerhouse that once graced the Georgia Dome.
The offense that averaged 30 points a game last year must deal with the graduation of 2007 leading rusher and passer Reuben Haynes. Even without a scrambling quarterback, Tigers coach Steve Savage will continue to use his triple option scheme this year, using halfbacks Jon Cash and Javon Womack as his primary rushers and Chase Bowen as a fullback. Seniors Cameron Billings and Austin Hanley lead the offensive line.
"We've always been a running team," Savage said.
Despite allowing 32 points per game last year, the Commerce defense won't change much, relying more on a year of added experience from last year's starters. The Tigers will utilize an eight-man front, the same as last year, keeping the line of scrimmage busy.
Junior Josh Streetman, the Tigers' leading tackler in 2007, will anchor the defense at middle linebacker. He is joined by fellow inside linebacker Travaris Glasper and outside linebackers Thomas Sears and Doug Maloch.
Bowen leads Commerce's defensive line, along with senior defensive end Matt Adams.
"I think we'll be better defensively," Savage said.
While the Tigers may not be a Georgia Dome contender once again just yet, they could surprise region 8-A with a more experienced defense and Savage's effective triple option offense.
"The region will be tough this year," Savage said. "We just want to win as many as we can."

As its lawsuit to keep her products out of J.C. Penney Co. suggests, Macy's, Inc. is not done with Martha Stewart, and, now, the retailer is placing upon her shoulders the mantle of American icon. As such, Martha Stewart and her products will be a major part of a new promotion Macy's has announced for this spring and summer.
The promotion, dubbed American Icons, is a multi-part marketing initiative the retailer bills as a cross-country tribute to the beloved traditions, people and landscapes of America.
"Macy's is America's department store and through this campaign, we're celebrating the unique people, places and things that make our country great," said Martine Reardon, the retailer's chief marketing officer. "In addition to collections from incredible brands including Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors, we're embarking on a nationwide tribute that will feature some of America's most beloved and nostalgic pastimes including the drive-in, baseball and grilling, along with a program to support and celebrate America's veterans."
The company said it has worked with popular brands to curate American Icons merchandise that brings together exclusive fashion and accessories as well as distinctive home product. Included are special collections not only from Lauren, Klein and Kors but also from Tommy Hilfiger, Levi and Nike, all of which evoke American style and design from coast-to-coast, the retailer asserted.
The Martha Stewart Collection is another brand Macy's is using to boost its promotion, in this case via a sweepstakes designed to draw attention to favorite customer regional dishes. On May 17 at Macy's Herald Square in New York City, Martha Stewart herself and Everyday Food editor-in-chief Sarah Carey will kick off the sweepstakes as they discuss and demonstrate recipes from Martha's American Food, a book featuring Martha's favorite national dishes as well as the stories and traditions behind them.
Other elements in the promotion include:
- Macy's Great American Grilling Guru. Macy's is challenging what it calls "grilling gurus" to submit their prized recipes on Macy's Facebook page from April 9 through April 27. The retailer said it would select six finalists to compete in a Sizzle Showdown on June 8 in Atlanta, judged by chefs from Macy's Culinary Council, with one winner receiving the grand prize of $10,000 and a trip to Macy's 4th of July Fireworks.
- Macy's Great American Road Trip. Macy's iHeartRadio Rising Star contest winners Megan and Liz will take a cross-country road trip in a new Ford Mustang convertible to explore the vast musical history of the United States. Beginning May 14, fans can follow the pop duo's journey online at macys.com/icons, as they work on a definitive road trip song and ultimately arrive at their last destination, Macy's 4th of July Fireworks in New York City.
- Macy's Great American Drive-In. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the drive-in theatre, and Macy's said it would pay homage to the traditional entertainment destination with movie projections on 20 Macy's store exteriors and on-screen at 10 local drive-ins nationwide. The events also will feature concessions and family activities.
- Macy's Day at the Ballpark. In a celebration of Father's Day, Macy's will offer in-store ticket giveaways in select stores and special activations at the baseball field. Between June 3 and 16, fans will experience Macy's through scoreboard features, live announcements and game day giveaways at 10 major league and 35 minor league baseball games.
In addition, Macy's is using the promotion to support veterans group Got Your 6, which focuses on six pillars of reintegration from military life: jobs, education, health, housing, family and leadership. To help, Macy's is introducing a special savings pass with the goal of raising $3 million. Beginning May 12, customers can give $3 at any register and get a 15% to 20% savings pass for a day they choose. Customers also can wear their support by purchasing a Got Your 6 pin for $6, which also qualifies them to receive the discount. All of the purchase price goes to Got Your 6 and its non-profit partners to empower returning veterans and military families, up to $3 million, Macy's stated.

Free Security Software
For seamless security protection that doesn't demand too much from you, I always suggest installing a full security suite. But suites tend to be expensive, and not every user can afford that yearly subscription payment. Users with more experience may reject the one-size-fits-all suite approach and build a best-of-breed collection. Combine a free antivirus/antispyware with a free firewall and you've got the start of a free suite. Even if you're fully protected with a powerful suite, you may occasionally want to run a free virus/spyware scanner for a second opinion.
You may be surprised at how much protection you can get at no cost. The latest versions of the popular free antivirus products from avast! and AVG both now include spyware protection as well, and they're quite effective. ThreatFire 3.5, from PC Tools, eliminates malware by monitoring its behavior: It doesn't need any advance knowledge to stop a threat from harming your computer. You do have to pony up cash for the paid version to use these products in a commercial setting, but you can get a very good idea of their power by running the free versions at home first. Of course, not every free app is a huge success, so read our reviews carefully before deciding which one's right for you.
As always, click the links to read the full reviews. And note that this isn't every free app on the marketjust a selection of our recent reviews. Rest assured, we'll be doing more. Want to suggest one not listed here? Let us know in the discussion forum for this article.
avast! antivirus 4.8 Home Edition
This latest version of avast!'s free antivirus adds spyware protection, which does its job well. The independent labs rate avast! excellent for virus detection, okay for cleanup. My tests agree: It's more effective at blocking malware installations than at cleaning up already infested systems. When it does clean up, it often leaves piles of nonexecutable detritus behind. And if its shiny media-player user interface doesn't suit your taste, you can choose from dozens of "skins" available online.
AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0
Like avast!, AVG has added spyware protection to the latest version of its free antivirus. AVG Anti-Virus gets slightly better ratings from the independent antivirus testing labs than avast! does, but it scored almost the same on my own antispyware tests. It, too, can leave behind piles of nonexecutable files after cleanup. As a bonus, the new Search-Shield feature uses AVG's LinkScanner technology to flag dangerous Web sites in search results.
Spybot Search & Destroy 1.5
Back in the day, Spybot raised public awareness of the budding spyware problem and wiped out early threats. Unfortunately it hasn't kept up with modern malware. It didn't clean up my test systems thoroughly, and its real-time protection was almost completely ineffective. In fact, it interfered with the on-demand scanner's attempts to remove malware. I salute Spybot's pioneer spirit, but I wouldn't use it in the modern world.
Spyware Terminator 2.0
Spyware Terminator doesn't handle virus scanning itself, though it offers to install and integrate the free ClamAV. Despite its tough-guy name, it didn't terminate many malware samples in testing, and it didn't protect a clean system from attack. Given the quality of the free competition, there's no reason to use this product.
ThreatFire 3.5
Most antivirus and antispyware products rely on a database of "signatures" to identify malware. That means a brand-new threat can run rampant until a signature has been developed. ThreatFire eschews the signature approach: It detects malware strictly by monitoring how processes behave. Only after identifying a suspicious process does it check a database of known threats. In my testing it made a clean sweep, preventing permanent installation of every single malware sample. It wasn't so effective at cleaning up an infested system, but that's not its main focus. Just use one of the other products for that initial cleanup.

I am just starting out in the world of python. I have basic knowledge of coding in vb.net and java. I understand logic, but struggle with syntax.
I am trying to play around with my first program and struggle with verification methods within the program.
- Code: Select all
# This program will take the input of a users name
# and greet them with a hello!
name = raw_input('What is your name?\n')
print "Hello, " + name
response = raw_input('How are you today?\n')
print "I am glad that you are " + response
favnum = raw_input('What is your favorite number?\n')
print "Do you know what " + favnum + " times 5 is?"
mathinput = int(favnum) * int(5)
print mathinput
I am looking for what I believe is going to be if, then, else structures. I want to verify that when a user inputs a "name" when asked that it is a string, not an numeric value.
I also want to verify that when they enter their favorite number it is a int, not a float. This isnt complete yet, but essentially I would want the user to enter their favorite number, then the question be asked what that number is * 5 then allow for input, then do a if, then, else statement again to verify their answer is correct.
Can someone give me some guidance?

Nokia has a lot riding on its new Lumia 920 smartphone, designed to be the most powerful platform running Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 operating system. But investors were unimpressed with the roll out this morning. Nokia's stock is -10% after the company and Microsoft introduced what the companies say is "the world's most innovative smartphone." The electronics company has struggled to keep up with Apple's iPhones and mobile devices running Google's Android system. Nokia and Microsoft seemed to have an opening to gain market share after Apple became embroiled in patent infringement battles with Samsung, especially over its Android phones. Nokia shares appreciated more than 11% over the last month. Much of that evaporated today: While the Lumia 920 has several potentially impressive features, it doesn't seem to be enough to lure many consumers away from the more popular Apple and Android platforms. Nokia says that its camera has a stabilizing feature that improves the ability to take photos in low light, and smooths video shots. Its map and navigation system will also work when users are not connected to the Web. The Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor should make the phone's battery 30% more efficient than its rivals. The phone also comes with built-in wireless charging; the battery can be powered-up by placing it on a pad that's connected to a power source. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer called the phone "a very important milestone" for his company's effort to become more potent in the mobile market. Apple's expected to introduce its iPhone 5 next week.
Nokia Shares Fall After Company Unveils Flagship Smartphone With Microsoft
8 Comments
I can't believe that Nokia thinks anyone in their right mind would switch from Apple to Microsoft. Do they not understand that almost everyone on Apple is there after leaving Microsoft and vowing never to go back?
Android I can understand (I upgraded to it myself, after owning an iPhone 3GS). But no matter how dissatisfied with Apple I became, I'd go without a phone before buying another Microsoft product. I assume most people feel similarly.
And yet, MS still has the lion's share of the computing market. I wouldn't be so quick to count Windows Phone out. Clearly, with Android so huge, people are looking for alternatives to Apple in the mobile market. (Though, technically, Apple is the alternative to Android now.)
The Lion's share of people using Office isn't impressive at all, I must say. Microsoft hasn't been cutting edge in so many years I don't care to count.
read history and you will learn !
in past , Microsoft was dominating the industry while others including Apples was fighting to have only 5% share market ?
it was mission impossible , but now Apple is in the top rank !
There is nothing impossible friend
The archived Lumia webcast on the Nokia site won't play on my Macbook. I have to install Silverlight. So much for getting the message out to everyone.
You need Silverlight to watch Netflix as well, so it's not like it's some niche addon that no one has.
Just install the stupid thing and quit looking for things to gripe about. Yeesh.
wow two apple nerds who have never touched a windows phone say it sucks…and they just said so on the internet
happily traded an iphone for a windows phone two years ago, would not dream of switching back to the boring grid of icons
I'm not seeing what about this phone was disappointing to Wall Street. Other than the S4 Snapdragon processor, this thing is top of the line and very impressive specs wise. Windows Phone is a reliable, easy to use, and attractive alternative to iOS, so what are people complaining about? Competition is good, as it keeps companies on their toes. When Apple get's lazy or complacent, we wind up with the 4S, which, woo… not much to write home about if you already own a 4.

It was crystal clear for the first day of October, when the Beltzville Boating Association unveiled a new bench installed by park workers, in memory of charter member Jackson Shellhammer, who passed away in 2007.
The benches at the Pine Run boat launch are very popular with visitors in the summertime, and the new one will offer prime seating near the dock.
Dan Petrecca, BBA President, removed the flag which covered the cast brass plaque, and spoke about Jackson's efforts on behalf of the Association over the years.
Present for the ceremony were Beltzville State Park Manager Tony Willoughby, and BBA members Dan and Monica Petrecca, Joe Karpinski, Joe Farrell, and Russ Jeffries. Trevor Shellhammer, son of Jackson Shellhammer, was present at the dedication.

Pittsburgh positives: Walkability, low crime and home prices
Pittsburgh might be slightly fatter and more cigarette-addicted than many urban areas, but the Steel City earns high marks for comparatively low crime, reasonable home prices and walkability, an annual report shows.
To Justin Monro-Neely, it's also a looker.
"Absolutely more beautiful than it was 20, 25 years ago," said Monro-Neely, 40, of Ben Avon, who came to Pittsburgh for school in 1991, planned to leave but never did. "Stick around long enough, and everything came around."
The 2014 Pittsburgh Today & Tomorrow analysis released Friday agrees, detailing a slow but studied rebound across the region. New demographics show Pittsburgh starting to shed its elderly profile, too.
"We still have, demographically, a much higher percentage of older residents. But the people who are moving in are disproportionately younger. The area is getting younger," said Douglas Heuck, director of the review issued through the University of Pittsburgh.
The report from Pitt's University Center for Social and Urban Research compares the seven-county region with 14 other metropolitan areas in 10 categories, including economic, environmental and safety concerns. Other metropolitan areas in the study include Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston. Heuck said the idea is to give the public — and public officials in Western Pennsylvania — a regular scorecard to help set priorities and evaluate programs and policies.
Results this year are mixed but illustrate a fourth consecutive year of sluggish population growth helped by an influx of international immigrants. The number of residents in the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Statistical Area grew by about 6,000 in the past three to four years, a slight bump after decades of outward migration in a region of 2.36 million people, Heuck said.
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald believes more newcomers are arriving from overseas, though the regional proportion of foreign-born residents — about 3.3 percent — trails the national average of 12.9 percent. International migration now outpaces domestic migration as a source of local population growth, according to Pittsburgh Today projections.
"If we can continue to grow the international, immigrant, foreign-born population here in Pittsburgh, we are contributing to the job creation here in the region," said Vibrant Pittsburgh CEO Melanie Harrington. The economic development group encourages diversity in the regional workforce.
It also cites a Fiscal Policy Institute estimate that foreign-born residents account for roughly 4 percent of regional economic output. They are more likely than other groups to start new businesses and to be highly educated, Vibrant Pittsburgh organizers said.
While the higher education and medical sectors temper unemployment, the area lags the other areas in the study in the percentage of residents with bachelor's degrees, the Pitt research shows. The region ranks 12th among peers, with about 30 percent of residents having a bachelor's or higher degree. It's second for high school completion, with about 92 percent of residents holding a diploma, behind only Minneapolis.
A shortage of skilled labor likely will limit local economic growth during the next several years, said Gus Faucher, a senior economist with the PNC Financial Services Group. PNC forecasts 1.1 percent total job growth in the area over the next three years, shy of a national forecast increase of 1.5 percent.
"Businesses would like to locate here, but they need the skilled workers to do that," Faucher said.
Other figures in the Pitt report cast the region in a brighter light. While about 35.5 percent of adults were overweight and 23.3 percent smoked, 90.1 percent had health insurance. Only Boston had a higher rate of insured residents.
The Pittsburgh area also had the lowest rate of car thefts in the study, with 76.4 thefts per 100,000 residents. Its homicide rate was about 20 percent below the average for the other areas.
Researchers scored the region well for walkability, too, placing it fourth because Pittsburghers often accomplish their errands on foot.
"My No. 1 would be the cost of buying a house. I think there are great houses here at a great cost," said Jason Price, 40, of the Mexican War Streets, a Pittsburgh resident since 2008.
Homes in the area had the second-highest value-appreciation rates over the last five years, according to the Pitt report. Denver was the only other city in the analysis to see appreciation rates rise.
R. Dennis McClelland credited "the inherent stability" of hard-working Pittsburghers for that even keel.
"We haven't followed the rest of the world. We've done our own thing, and we'll continue to do that," said McClelland, executive vice president of the Realtors Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh. "We take care of our own."

Why not use MFC and use a renderer DLL to render the view window?
Nothing shows up (no pictures).
Perty. In order to rotate/move stuff, do you have to use those buttons, or can you use the mouse/keyboard?
>>Why not use MFC and use a renderer DLL to render the view window?
I've considered using MFC, but I wan't to keep it cross-platform. And yes, I already know there isn't that much point, since basically everyone uses windows anyway. However, I may switch to GTK+ eventually. I like GLUI though, since it's interface is rendered with OpenGL, and has 3d rotation and translation controls.
>>Perty. In order to rotate/move stuff, do you have to use those buttons, or can you use the mouse/keyboard?
At the moment you have to use those buttons. I'm working on allowing the user to just use the mouse. IMO, you get more control using the translation/rotation buttons though.
>>Nothing shows up (no pictures).
I'm not sure what's going on there. I just went to the site then, and everything seems to be working.
Nice! Reminds me of my GTKRadiant mapping days
And now Microsoft is making changes to Vista so it only runs on Intel x86's/AMD's and NOT Intel Mac's. I believe cross-platform is soon to be a moot point, which is bad for the consumer, but really good for technology. Shooting for one platform and one system allows a common standard to develop. We all know what a pain in the arse it is to develop for several systems with all different configs.Quote:

>>Nice! Reminds me of my GTKRadiant mapping days
Thanks. Actually, the level in that screenshot uses an imported Q3Radiant map. (I haven't written my own BSP compiler yet)
>>Shooting for one platform and one system allows a common standard to develop.
Very true. Getting everyone to agree on one platform will be quite a challenge though.
huh? The fact that all Macs will run MacOS or linux makes cross platform software even more important. Otherwise companies could just say "run windows on your mac." As long as there is more than one common place OS, there will be the issue of cross platform software, and I don't necessarily mean linux/mac. You'll see the issues with XP/Vista after the first year or two of its release.Quote:

* I say Vista flop based on an article I read from MS. They describe the catastrophe known as Vista and talk about how poor software development practices broke down this time, despite their success in the past. I'll post a link if I can find it.
I would love to switch to another OS, but so far none of them have the support I want. If and when the gaming industry makes the switch to another OS, that's when things will change.
Games is why we are where we are in computers. They pushed the envelope then and now and will continue to do so. They are the forefront of computer technology.
So when games begin to make the switch to another platform, that platform will rock.
I love that software. I fire it up and create some mess about maps to this day (for Q2).Quote:

So consolitis developer can take their crappy copy-cat games with pre-set save points, completely scripted campaigns/missions, eye-candy that doesn't cover up the glaring flaws in their game, and lackluster performance to the grave as they die a horrible hardware induced death. And I hope the practice of porting those crappy games to the PC as-is does not continue.
C'mon PC developers...........do something original that a damned console cannot do. We have more memory, more storage, more power, more devices, and more hardware at our disposal. I'm tired of buying the SOS (same old ....) and would like to see something original - much like the upcoming Spore. Most modern games are power gone to waste.
But to get back on track, I like the editor. :)

The U.S. Postal Service doesn't have any plans to move its Green Street branch — a longtime traffic hot spot that is being revisited in Gainesville's transportation master plan.
"Given the current financial state of the Postal Service, moving the post office is not something we are considering at this time," said Michael Miles, spokesman for the agency's Atlanta district.
However, "we always are open to discussing ... possible solutions that would improve the customer experience at the current location," Miles said.
Green Street has been a focal point in Gainesville's traffic study, an effort involving city officials, Norcross-based consultant Pond & Co. and public input through a transportation focus group and open-house meetings.
The busy road is a major artery moving traffic from downtown to North Hall via Ga. 60/Thompson Bridge Road and U.S. 129/Cleveland Highway. Running through a historic district, it has long been a source of backups and other troubles, such as flooding during torrential rains.
Motorists often sit idling on Green, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass before turning into the parking lot at the post office, which sits off Green near E.E. Butler Parkway and Academy Street. Or patrons will enter the parking lot, then stop, waiting for a parking space to open, blocking the entrance and creating another backup on Green.
The post office location has been a longtime thorny issue for Gainesville.
Mayor Danny Dunagan recalls the issue being discussed when Gov. Nathan Deal served in Congress as the 9th District representative.
Dunagan said there was talk about a joint venture to build a retail location in Midtown Gainesville. The Postal Service "wouldn't hear of it, at all," he said.
Later, the city talked with the agency about closing the front entrance in exchange for the city doing road improvements on Academy Street "so the traffic could flow a little better and let that be the (new) entrance to the post office."
"And (postal officials) turned that down," Dunagan said. "We've done everything we can to either try to get them to relocate or do something to help the traffic on Green Street, and they have not been very accommodating."
He said talks on the issue also have involved the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and Hall County government.
Miles said, "This goes back so long and there are other folks who would know more about this than I do, but my impression is it just seems what (local officials) were offering, what that they thought was a reasonable idea, we didn't see as a reasonable idea."
Discussions, including the possibility of the acquisition and donation of a site that could be used to relocate the facility, "never progressed to the point that any action was taken," he said.
City officials have talked among themselves recently about "going back to the post office and see if they would close the parking in front ... and just (have) a drop-off lane at the mailboxes," Dunagan said.
As part of that effort, some improvements could be done in the back of the facility for customers interested in parking and then going into the post office, he said.
Loree Anne Thompson, spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Gainesville, said as a member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, Collins has been very involved in discussions to reform the Postal Service.
"And part of that debate has involved moving retail postal offices to new locations."
Collins believes the agency "should have the flexibility to operate effectively, while moving toward fiscal and efficient reforms that have the potential to save millions in government spending," Thompson said.
"It's always the preferable option to use local control and community input, and that remains the congressman's stance in regards to the location change of the downtown Gainesville facility."
Collins "has been to this post office many times, and he understands the significance this building brings to (the) downtown area," Thompson said. "Our office will continue to monitor this issue closely."
Ironically, a nationwide trend of declining post office visits might end up easing traffic woes, at least some.
"We don't build new post offices any more, for a variety of reasons — finances being one, but also, the fact is people visit post offices far less than they once did," Miles said. "Just as they mail less, they go to the post office less.
"I would think that (traffic in front of the Green Street post office) would be better today than it was a few years ago, but I don't have any hard numbers on that."
Earlier this month, the city released a list of preliminary recommendations addressing traffic issues citywide. Among its "mid-term" suggestions for Green was to add a northbound right-turn lane and a southbound left-turn lane at the post office entrance.
Possible short-term fixes to Green Street traffic — ones that don't "affect the existing curbs — include banning left-turns onto side streets along the corridor, at least during peak hours, or restriping to "unbalanced lanes."
Green now has four lanes — two for southbound traffic and two for northbound. Unbalanced calls for one lane for southbound traffic, two lanes for northbound traffic and a center turn lane.
A proposed long-term fix is converting Green Street to a boulevard between Academy Street and Riverside Drive, featuring a 20-foot-wide landscaped median and "streetscape" elements, such as pedestrian lighting and trees on both sides of the road.
Final recommendations ultimately will be considered for inclusion in the Gainesville-Hall Metropolitan Planning Organization's short-term Transportation Improvement Program and long-term Metropolitan Transportation Plan.
The MPO is Hall County's lead transportation planning agency.

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said President Barack Obama's pledge that "if you like your insurance plan you can keep it – no one will be able to take it away from you" was not true.
"It was a lie," Labrador said at an event Tuesday at The Heritage Foundation. "And they continue to lie again and again and again."
CNSNews.com asked Labrador and other Republicans at the "Conversations with Conservatives" event if Obama's statement in April 2010 shortly after he had signed the Affordable Care Act into law was true or false.
Obama said: "If you like your insurance plan, you will keep it. No one will be able to take that away from you."
"It was a lie," Labrador said. "And they continue to lie again and again and again.
"Now there's a list of what every Democrat who has said that 'If you want your health care you can keep it' and today's there's an article that came out that says the next big issue is going to be – they also made the promise that if you wanted to keep your doctor you could keep it," he said.
"And that's going to be the next big issue come January when people start realizing that they're trying to make appointments with the doctors and the doctors say 'Actually we're not supported by – we're not part of this network,'" Labrador said.
"There's going to be millions of Americans that are going to lose their doctors," Labrador said. "And that once again is going to be proven to be a lie."
On April 1, 2010, a week after he signed the Affordable Care Act, Obama repeated the pledge he had frequently made during the national debate over the bill – vowing not only that people could keep their plan if they liked it, but that no one would be able to take it away from them in the future.
"So now that this bill is finally law, and all the folks who've been playing politics will finally have to confront the reality of what this reform is, they're also going to have to confront the reality of what it isn't," Obama said in a speech.
"They'll have to finally acknowledge that this isn't a government takeover of our health-care system," he said. "They'll see that if Americans like their doctor, they will keep their doctor.

Freestly Cruising...a New Experience!: Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by clip1957
Overall Member Rating
Freestly Cruising...a New Experience!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Sunday it was an easy 2 blocks from the pier and parking and baggage handling were a breeze. Just drive into the parking garage and the porters will take your bags before you park. We tipped $1 per bag. Embarkation could not have been any smoother. No long lines and no waiting to board. We arrived at the ship around noon and went to Windows dining room for lunch. It was almost More empty...everyone else headed for the buffet line, I guess.
We explored the ship and thought it was very nice...clean and well maintained, very pleasantly decorated with an Asian theme. Also they had decorated for Christmas. Not seen on every cruise line.
My husband, my son and I were in one cabin and my daughter and her friend were in another. We had received a free upgrade after I had read on our CC Roll Call that the price of the cruise had dropped and it might be possible to get an upgrade. We were upgraded to an outside cabin on the 8th deck. When we arrived in our room there was a bottle of wine from NCL and our travel agent and a $50 onboard credit. Nice surprise! The cabin was an adequate size and we liked that the NCL Spirit had a shower door unlike other cruise lines we had been on. The beds were comfortable (not as much as Carnival's), the TV was tiny.
The food on the ship was good in the main dining rooms. We loved the little bar Blue Lagoon where you could get fish n'chips, salads, wings, burgers, etc. Small space but good food. We were not crazy about the desserts...the cookies and ice cream were good. There was a grill overlooking the pool with hot dogs, burgers and bratz, potato salad, fries...all pretty good. The buffet was not as good as we have had on other cruise lines with the exception of breakfast. We enjoyed breakfast at the dining room three days so my husband could have his eggs benedict, but otherwise we liked the buffet just fine. We missed the free sushi and the 24 hour pizzeria that we've enjoyed on other ships...not offered on the Spirit. There were several restaurants which required a fee between $10 and $25pp. The only one we tried was Shogun and it was well worth the $15pp fee. We chose to eat at the Asian Restaurant and we were allowed to have as much sushi and however many items off the menu as we wanted. The service was impeccable and the food fantastic....highly recommended.
The service although different from other cruise lines was good. Our cabin stewards were invisible to us most of the time but did a fine job. We kind of missed the rapport gained from having the same wait persons every night, but everyone that waited on us was friendly and professional.
The entertainment was good. We especially enjoyed the comedy team, the acrobats and the last show Elements. We didn't especially enjoy the Broadway show. One criticism is the game shows were held in a lounge and they were hard to see. Also the parties were not that great. But our kids enjoyed the casino nightclub and the karaoke. I missed having a lounge with our kind of music and dancing. The line dancing classes were fun but crowded.
The ports of call were great...we had a blast on the Jungle Beach tour through the ship in Costa Maya. Free drinks all day, beautiful beach and facilities. We were able to get a great deal on Para-sailing...$25pp. The kids started playing volleyball and soon others joined them. In Guatemala we went on the waterfalls tour through Happy Fish. Our guide Carla was wonderful and we had a small group of 7 people. We learned about the plants that grow in the rain forest and their uses, we saw gorgeous scenery and we got about 45 minutes to swim in the unbelievable pond at the waterfalls. Belize we went on a snorkel/beach tour with Ecotours. Our guides were great but we were not thrilled with the snorkeling and didn't have hardly anytime on the beach...but Belize is gorgeous...do something. Cozumel my husband went diving with Blue Angel and he said it was fantastic. The kids and I went shopping, spent some time at Senor' Frogs (fun, fun, fun...but not for underage kids)and then went snorkeling at Chankanaab park. We had a great time. There were tons of fish and the water was clear and almost no one else there. For $36pp the kids got entrance to the park, snorkeling gear and t-shirts. Really nice park. One of the best things about NCL Spirit was we had more time in the ports than other ships we have been on.
Debarkation went smooth for us. At the information desk there are color coded tags for your luggage that coordinate with the time you want to leave the ship. We chose 9:30 a.m. and promptly at 9:30 our color was called. Our luggage was waiting for us and there were no long lines at customs. The whole process took about 30 minutes. Probably the best debarkation experience of the 6 cruises I've been on.
Our adult kids loved the cruise. It was my 23 year old sons first cruise and he says freestylin' is the only way to go. We enjoyed it enough to put a deposit on another NCL cruise sometime in the future. Less

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML On one level, Unite leader Len McCluskey's threat to disrupt the Olympics is unsurprising. If you oppose all of the cuts (as McCluskey does), why not strike at the moment of maximum inconvenience? The trade union head tells the Guardian: The attacks that are being launched on public-sector workers at the moment are so deep and ideological that the idea the world should arrive in London and have these wonderful Olympic Games as though everything is nice and rosy in the garden is unthinkable. It's important to note, as few have, that this was not an unprompted intervention. McCluskey was asked by the paper if he had "talked about" the possibility of strike action during the Olympics and it's unsurprising, at this stage, that he's not willing to take any options off the table. That is standard negotiating practice. What make his intervention significant is his standing in the labour movement. As general secretary of Unite he leads the country's biggest trade union and Labour's biggest donor, responsible for a quarter of all donations to the party. And, lest we forget, had it not been for his union, among others, David Miliband, not Ed, would now be wearing the crown. Nick Clegg, a long-standing critic of the unions, has already called on Ed Miliband to "rein in" McCluskey, something that is neither possible nor desirable for the Labour leader to do. As the democratically-elected head of a trade union, McCluskey should answer to no one but his members. What Miliband can and should do is simply condemn the Unite leader. Unlike Tony Blair, Miliband has never sought to define himself by picking fights with his own party. But that doesn't mean that he shouldn't respond when union leaders speak out. Tessa Jowell, Labour's shadow Olympics minister, has already issued an unambiguous statement: No one in our country looking forward to the Olympics, no athlete preparing, and none of our thousands of potential visitors, would understand or sympathise with any disruption to the Olympic Games. If this is a negotiation it should take place in private. Unions and employers should get together and sort it out without threats or disruption to Britain's Olympics. Those who say that Miliband cannot afford to alienate Unite, his party's biggest paymaster, should remember that, even at the height of Blairism, the unions continued to pay the bills. › Morning Call: pick of the papers George Eaton is political editor of the New Statesman.

We finally got a Nikon Coolpix 880 digital camera, for just about the worst reason/excuse ever. I had made an adapter for my Handspring Visor PDA to let me plug CompactFlash cards into the Visor, for more program storage space. One of the CompactFlash cards that I bought, a 48 megabyte Lexar, was incompatibile with the adapter design. Well, I hated seeing that $60 CF card go to waste. So I looked for digital cameras that used CF media. Nikon sounded good, so I plunked down another $550 for the Coolpix 880 and now I've put that lonely CF card to good use.
Silly, huh?
Anyway, I signed up for a FREE website with NBCi and they give you unlimited web space (well, only as long as they stay in business) [N.B. they didn't, thats why this site is at 0catch now]. I'm going to upload the photos we take to this location. All of the originals photos are much higher resolution, and if you drop me a line, I will get prints made for you of any of the photos. Or, you can order prints yourself from www.dotphoto.com (wallet to poster sizes available).
Here's the first batch of photos. Sorry about the lousy photography, I'm still learning how to use the camera.

Type of Document Master's Thesis Author Bhale, Sandeep Dattatraya Author's Email Address email@example.com URN etd-03022004-132725 Title Effect of Ohmic Heating on Color, Rehydration and Textural Characteristics of Fresh Carrot Cubes Degree Master of Science in Biological & Agricultural Engineering (M.S.B.A.E.) Department Biological & Agricultural Engineering Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Marybeth Lima Committee Chair Steven G. Hall Committee Member Witoon Prinyawiwatkul Committee Member Keywords
- relative humidity environments
- ohmic heating
- texture profile analysis
Date of Defense 2003-12-15 Availability unrestricted AbstractCarrot cubes were ohmically heated with 2 different frequencies 1 Hz and 60 Hz to evaluate change in color, texture and rehydration properties. Carrot samples were stored under 4 different relative humidity (RH) conditions 11.1 %, 32.7%, 55.7 % and 75.3 %. Experiments were conducted to monitor the textural parameters of hardness, fracturability, adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness and color changes in terms of CIE color values. Results showed that the hardness, fracturability and adhesiveness of 1- Hz samples stored at 75.3 % RH were different from those at 55.7 % RH. The adhesiveness, cohesiveness and chewiness of 1-Hz samples were different from the control at 55.7 % RH. There was significant correlation between cohesiveness and chewiness and moisture content of the rehydrated samples. For the moisture content after ohmic heating a negative correlation was observed with properties of chewiness, hardness and adhesiveness. Color lightness (L*) values of rehydrated carrots decreased (i.e. became darker) with the increase in storage time. At both 1-Hz and 60-Hz the difference in the L values of fresh and rehydrated carrots was significantly different from that of the control. The degree of redness (a*) of 1-Hz rehydrated samples after 1 Hz treatment were different from the control stored at 55.7 % RH. The water absorption capacity values decreased throughout the six-day storage period for both the treated and control carrot samples. Thus there exists a great potential to enhance mass and heat transfer properties in food process engineering using ohmic heating, particularly because ohmic treatment has been shown to significantly alter rehydration, texture and color efficiencies. This study demonstrated that ohmic treatment significantly affects color, texture and rehydration properties of carrots stored under different RH environments. Files

JERUSALEM (Apr. 24)
Premier Menachem Begin added his voice to the growing demands for the death penalty for terrorists in the aftermath of Sunday's outrage at Nahariya. He told the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee today that he supports capital punishment for terrorists in cases of " extreme, cruel behavior" and said he would ask the government to propose such legislation when the Cabinet convenes Sunday. Deputy Premier Yigael Yadin was also reported today to support the death penalty, not only for terrorist acts but for any aggression Involving extreme violence.
Begin attended the funeral services at Tivon yesterday for three of the Nahariya victims — Danny Aran, 28, and his daughters Einat, 4, and Yael, 2.. Quoting Israel's national poet, Chaim Nachman Bialik who once wrote that" Saton has not yet invented the revenge for the blood of a child, " Begin declared what whoever raises a hand against a Jewish child in Israel will suffer only one punishment." The one who Kills a Jewish child shall pay with his life," he said.

Tuthill: Grassroots feminists embrace vouchers
We've heard it argued that vouchers are a civil rights issue. But over at the redefinED blog, Doug Tuthill, the former Pinellas teachers union president who now heads Florida's tax-credit voucher program, says they're a feminist issue too:
Women at the grassroots across the country are fighting for the power to create more diverse learning options for children and to match their children with the learning options that best meet their needs, but unfortunately national feminist leaders seem to be ignoring their struggles. Perhaps their silence is a reflection of race and class differences within the women's movement. Much of Florida's school choice movement is being led by low-income women of color.

The College Football Hall of Fame announced its 2014 nominees Thursday, and they included Stanford running back Darrin Nelson, Cal linebacker Ron Rivera and former San Jose State and Cal State Hayward coach Darryl Rogers.
In 1981, Nelson became the first college player to rush for at least 1,000 yards and catch 50 passes in a season.
Rivera, now the coach of the Carolina Panthers, was Cal's leading tackler from 1981-83. In 1983, he set a school record that still stands today with 26.5 tackles for loss.
Rogers coached the Spartans from 1973-75. He also coached Fresno State, Michigan State and Arizona State.
Others among the 81 nominees include Lincoln Kennedy (Washington), Steve Wisniewski (Penn State), Ken Norton Jr. (UCLA), Kirk Gibson (Michigan State), Eric Dickerson (SMU), Ricky Williams (Texas), Warren Sapp (Miami) and Ray Lewis (Miami).
The 2014 inductees will be announced in May.
Tyler Messerschmidt, Ryan Murphy, Tony Cox and Seth Stubblefield won the 200-yard freestyle to give the Bears 271 points after six swimming events, ahead of Stanford's 243. Stanford's David Nolan won the 200 IM.
Santa Clara (6-8) rallied for three runs in the seventh inning but fell to visiting Washington 6-4. Casey Munoz had two hits for the Broncos.

7th Annual Empty Bowls event serves up homemade soup for a great cause
January 16, 2009
PINAL COUNTY, Ariz. – Students from both the art club and the culinary arts program are teaming up to fill more than 300 bowls with soup during the 7th Annual Central Arizona College Empty Bowls event on Tuesday, Feb. 24, at the Signal Peak Campus.
The soup luncheon will run from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. on the patio of the Bradley Sizer, Jr., Center for Business Studies (Building N).
For a minimum $10 donation, guests will receive a stoneware bowl of their choice filled with soup. Instead of leaving the bowl for service attendants to clear, guests can just take the bowl home.
The event is open to the public.
All net proceeds from the event will benefit two local food banks – the St. Vincent de Paul in Casa Grande and the Coolidge Resource Center in Coolidge.
"Empty Bowls is a worldwide grassroots initiative that started in 1990 in Michigan to help fight hunger," Susan Ramos, professor of art, explained. "Traditionally these events are held around the holidays to help raise money for food banks."
This marks the seventh straight year the event has been held at Central's Signal Peak Campus. The entire project is a joint effort between the Central Arizona College Art Club and the institution's culinary arts department. Student cooks will make the soup, which includes a highly-anticipated taco serving and a vegetarian offering.
"Since we have a limited number of advanced ceramics students, we hold the event a little later in the year so we can build our inventory of bowls," Ramos said.
The inventory is definitely up with more than 300 bowls being put on display for guests.
Ceramists at Central Arizona College create food-safe, stoneware bowls by donating their material and time. The clay is being donated this year by Marjon Ceramics, Inc., located in Phoenix.
Professional potters as well as students contribute their handmade artwork, which may be priced around $35 if sold retail.
"Student cooks prepare the soups," Carol Bennett, CAC's professor of culinary arts and resident chef, said. "The meal is served very simply to demonstrate solidarity with folks who are served in a soup kitchen."
The bowls are more than just a kitchen amenity, according to Ramos.
"Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world."
In the past, the CAC Art Club has produced about 100 bowls to sell at the event. But in 2008, production increased exponentially, with another 300 listed again this year.
"Again this year, thanks to a lot of hard work, we have more than 300 new bowls ready for the soup line," Ramos said. "We do not pre-sell bowls or tickets in order to give everyone a fair chance to choose their favorite bowl."
The sale begins promptly at 11 a.m. Once purchased, the bowls are washed and filled with the vegetarian offering or the Southwest Taco Soup. The participants may eat in the culinary arts dining room or on the East Garden Patio. Bowls will be rinsed following the event so guests may take them home.
For more information about the Empty Bowls event, please contact Susan Ramos by phone at 520-494-5084, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Gary Brown (three), Bryce Williams, Felipe Contepomi, Denis Hickie, Rob Kearney, John Hepworth and replacement Niall Ronan all got touchdowns.
Argentine fly-half Contepomi landed seven conversions and a penalty for a personal haul of 22 points.
Borders had little to offer and could only count on two second quarter tries from winger Nikki Walker by the finish.
Contepomi put Kiwi lock Williams over for the opening try on two minutes.
Contepomi then converted, kicked a penalty and threw a neat dummy on 18 minutes to grab a try of his own.
The Scots then made their presence felt by scoring a breakaway try from Walker which Charlie Hore converted for a 17-7 deficit.
Walker was sent in again by the efforts of Calum MacRae and Garry Law after Contepomi had been intercepted on 39 minutes.
Leinster still led 36-14 at the break with winger Brown (25, 28 minutes) and axed Ireland star Hickie (33) having touched down.
Hickie danced past Walker on 50 minutes to put Brown over for his third try.
As Borders' heads dropped, tries followed for Kearney, Ronan and centre Hepworth, the former Leeds and Castleford rugby league player registering his first try for Leinster.

Hi everyone.
I started playing Touhoumon since 2 weeks. And when I wondered how to get the Final Meiling form, heh... I found that the Touhoudex (isn't it actually called "Ayanote" ingame?) here was very inaccurate. So I started to dig in the ROM hacking, downloaded a shitload of tools, and finally found out everything I need to get all the info I need about the Touhous with these hacking tools. The only thing I can't get with my tools, are the Egg Moves. Maybe I'll get them soon, but who cares about these moves?
Therefore, I started to update quite some Touhoudex pages, so that everything is quite clearer.
I have to mention that I play with an English v1.53 version of the game, "Merry's version" (that's the first one I've been able to find with Google, as I don't see any DL link on the wikia), with the title screen that is a bit bugged. If I refer to the main characters, their info is identical to my data, so I'm assuming that the version I'm using hasn't been edited too much (appart from the title screen and the location of the Touhous, for my part I have CSuwako and CKanako at Route 1 right after Palette Town), and that some info found in the Touhoudex was wrong.
Anyway, I think that the most important was to get the Touhoudex info for some Dark touhous and all the information of the evolutions, like "how to get this last word / final?"
Hope I helped a bit.

- Great to see someone working on those pages. When I played Touhoumon it was a pretty big struggle trying to find information. You should really check out Aichiya Sanae's webpage. She's the one who creates these wonderful ROMhacks of the Pokemon games. There are many more than just Merry Version, but that was the first one I played as well. Some follow the general story and area of Pokemon, but some are COMPLETELY different. For example, Touhoumon Another World takes place IN Gensokyo and is friggin' amazing. I strongly suggest it.
- Anyway, just thought I'd mention that. Thanks for the good work~ --Hakurou Tengu (talk) 00:16, October 22, 2012 (UTC)

Customer Reviews
Pretty darn good.
I have been using this for years now. I guess you could call it thoroughly enough tested that I can present my opinion. This is pretty much the best. I have about eight other to do apps I have tried, and two to do websites. The simple ability to say I do these things every day, and I want to check them off, as I do them, every day - why is this so revolutionary? If you want a to do you have to enter it for every day you're going to do it on most of these to do apps. It is like they're trying to reinvent the wheel and the fact that it needs to be round most of the time is really hard for them to grasp. Yes, I need to be reminded to take my pills every day. And a reminder that I meant to strip the beds and wash the sheets every week (dust allergies) would be helpful too, and if I only have to enter it once, instead of one time for every week that I intend to strip the sheets off the bed, that would be marvelous. You understand me, and the nature of my life. If there was one thing I could imagine adding, it would be a toggle for winter versus summer, so that I could have one list of to dos for when the snow is on the ground, like shoveling and scattering sand and salt, and another for when the lawn and garden need attention, like mow once a week, get out in the garden and weed for 15 minutes every day, check the week to see what needs planting this week, you know the drill. But I get by switching out weeding for shoveling manually.
Love it! Well done!
I just downloaded this app and got it all set up. I transferred my manual index card system to it, and I love it so far. If your familiar with Fly lady, this app works perfectly with her system. I like this so much better than the Cozy app I have been using, because I can customize it much better to my own preferences. So far I've come across no glitches.
One thing I don't see is how to mark tasks in a zone as occurring weekly, monthly or seasonally by zone. If this feature is there, I don't see it. It would be nice to keep a task within a zone but make it a weekly, monthly or seasonal occurrence. For example, I'd like to wash windows in a zone monthly, and clean the gutters seasonally. This feature would be so handy. Overall, I'm really loving this app and highly recommend it. It includes most everything I've been looking for in a home organization app. Well done!
No Historical Completion Dates
At first I was very excited about this app, it looked like a great way to manage my household cleaning. But I quickly realized there is no historical tracking of when you completed a task, and that is apparently on purpose. If I cleaned every area of my house already once a month, I wouldn't need an app to help me. I wanted something that would tell me how many weeks it had been since I finished a task so I could evaluate the priority of doing it again, and this app just doesn't do that. Also, I contacted the company two times after purchasing the app to ask them how to track historical calendar information, and never got a response. The only way I discovered the app was designed to NOT track historical completion dates was by searching their FAQ. Other apps that I have paid for have always responded to customer questions in a matter of a few days, so I am very disappointed I never got any sort of response. I wish I could get my money back!!

First Time On Carnival Ecstasy: Carnival Ecstasy Cruise Review by wee-haggis
Overall Member Rating
First Time On Carnival Ecstasy
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
We sailed out of Port Canaveral on Nov 29th for a 5 night cruise with stops in Key West, Nassau and Freeport.
The check in process and security check was no problem 9even with long snaking line in temporary terminal, it only took about 30 minutes.
The cabins were ready at 1-30pm so we timed it perfectly.The cabin was on the Riviera , Deck 4 ,Forward.
It was actually the last full sized window, Oceanview on this level , forward.
The cabin was clean but the window has an annoying bar in the middle and it was quite badly rusted. (we had been spoiled the past 4 cruise with balconies....but decided to try an Oceanview,,,,,,regretted it later).
The cabin itself was quite nice as was the washroom and shower. the flat screen TV was pretty and good and I was amazed to see that you could get all major networks (NBC,CBS and ABC as well as FOX and TNT).
This surprised More me because when I have asked about TV networks on cruises in the past, I was told that the Cruiselines cannot show them because of legalities and costs. the strange thing is, the networks occasionally would show the networks via Buffalo channels and in many case it was Canadian channels (that happened to show US network shows). I tested the in room Wireless network with my laptop and was amazed how fast it was (compared to all the other cruises I have done.....where it was impossible to do from the cabin and very slow from the Internet Lounge).
We are very casual cruisers and prefer the option to dine casually. If it has a buffet....that is where we go.
Sit down,set time dining is not our cup of tea.
The first night sleeping was not so good. We kept hearing this hammering and grinding noises off and on all night.
We still got some sleep but it wasn't bad enough to complain. The second and third night was even worse.(in retrospect, I should never have waited so long to complain.).
I finally went down to the Customer Relations and the Supervisor explained that the Captain had authorized emergency work. The strange thing is this"emergency work" had been going on since the previous week and was scheduled to continue for our full cruise.
She acknowledged that there were other complaints. I asked to be moved but they only had one Inside Cain left. I didn't like that idea so, she gave me a 20% refund for the cruise and a 15% off future cruise voucher. I wasn't completely happy but I took it. That night the noise was worse than ever . So, I went to see her again and she moved us to Deck 11 where it was much quieter.
Generally I have to say that the noise in both of the two cabins was quite loud (doors slamming, footsteps above, voices outside). Something we've noticed before on other cruises but not to this extent.
The food in general was OK (nothing spectacular). the number of serving areas in the Buffet was always insufficient (each night they would keep one side closed to serve children in the Kids Club. Why they wouldn'nt do this at 5-30 pm instead of waiting to 6pm (when the adults showed up, is beyond me).
The breakfast and lunch selection was quite good with the pastries ,cakes and sweets being the most impressive. I can't fault the staff as they were both friendly and helpful at all times.
The ports of call were hit and miss.
Key West was nice but very congested and too busy.
Nassau. the Straw Market has been closed and knocked down with a new on to open soon. In the meantime ,the stalls are temporarily located at the side of the port side main road making for major congestion. The main street in Nassau is getting resurfaced which also caused a lot of traffic issues.
Freeport was also nice but we decided not to venture any further than the little stalls around the port.
Something we noticed at all ports of call, there is always drunken idiots who do not get back to the ship by the assigned time which means delayed leaving times. These people who we watched boarding the ship simply do not care or are completly oblivious to the time of day due their merry making.
As for the ship itself, its quite old and dated with lots of painted over hull rust. The Atrium was quite nice although the color scheme is really gaudy (they seem to use every color available within the same small space). As with most older ships, the pool area is totally inadequate in size. The recently added water slides for the kids and a good feature.
The disembarking was a bit of a bore since we had to go to the Sapphire Lounge at a ridiculously early hour only to sit and wait for about 45 minutes for US Customs officials to arrive to check the non US arrivals. After that was over and we had our final breakfast ,leaving the ship was easy and swift.
Final thoughts. Good value for money.....but never again. Less

The Choir that Turned England a Bit Bulgarian
And instead of sending it off into obscurity, the idiosyncratic style of traditional Bulgarian singing sometimes causes it to end up in the most unlikely of places. One example is the inclusion of the song "Izel e Delyo Haydutin," sung by Valya Balkanska, which was included in the Voyager Golden Record, a selection of sounds and images sent in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The selection was aimed at portraying the diversity of life and culture on Earth in the off-chance it reached any extraterrestrial life form.
Another, more recent but also unlikely appearance of traditional Bulgarian singing is on the soundtrack of the BBC mini-series The Virgin Queen, a drama based on the life of Queen Elizabeth I. Surprisingly, in addition to the pieces performed by the Mediæval Bæbes, the album also features four songs performed by the London Bulgarian Choir.
The amateur choir, led by Dessislava Stefanova, who is a former member of the one of the most iconic and influential Bulgarian folk ensembles - Philip Koutev, is based in London.
Although the 35-member formation, with singers not just from Bulgaria, but from around the world, has only one recorded album, Alyana Galyana, it has a wide array of live and recorded performances both in the UK and internationally.
Awarded BBC Radio 3's Choir of the Year in 2006, the musical group has taken part in London-based events such as the Exhibition Road Music Day, the Streatham Festival, and the London Jazz Festival. Composer and animateur Orlando Gough has used the choir in central roles for the performances Singing River at the re-opening of the Royal Festival Hall and Shouting Gallery in the National Portrait Gallery. Outside of London, the choir has taken part in the Rye Arts Festival, the Swaledale Festival, and the Nadder Music Café.
According to the its official website, which also has audio samples, membership of the choir is open to anyone who enjoys this unique kind of music and style of singing. Rehearsals take place once a week at the Bulgarian Embassy in South Kensington and Stefanova teaches new people the repertoire on another day of the week.

Fiscal Deficit Reduction: An Evaluation of Alternatives
In this paper we consider a number of alternative policies aimed at reducing the U.S. fiscal deficit over the course of the 1990s. We offer a quantitative evaluation of these policies that incorporates a number of usually overlooked aspects. One is the role of forward looking asset markets in the adjustment to a credible deficit reduction package. The second is the international impacts ofthe policy and how these spill overs effect the outcome in the United States through changes in exchange rates, trade and capital flows. Third, we explicitly deal with the supply side implications of the alternative proposals as well as the conventional effects on aggregate demand. As a starting point, we consider the Clinton program as announced in February 1993. We find that this program is a credible deficit reduction strategy which should have a short run stimulative effect on the economy in 1993 but during 1994and 1995 the program will tend to slow economic growth unless accompanied by some accommodating monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. Sustained benefits to the U.S. economy emerge by 1998.

Contained Places
Fenton Charter Township is a charter township of Genesee County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 15,552 at the 2010 census.
The township land was initially a part of Grand Blanc Township and then of Argentine Township until the spring of 1838 when it was separately organized. Clark Dibble, a pioneer from New York, was the first white settler to purchase land in the township, in March 1834. Other settlers followed and in 1837, William M. Fenton and Robert LeRoy bought land, a sawmill and water rights from Dibble, who moved elsewhere. Fenton and LeRoy had the settlement, then known as Dibbleville, platted. According to local legend, Fenton and LeRoy decided who would name the town in a game of poker. The town would be named after the winner and the main street after the loser. Fenton won and the town was known as Fentonville. The town was incorporated as the Village of Fenton in 1863. In 1871, Village of Linden was incorporated from area in the center of the township. The Township became a Charter Township in 1980.

Add PR to give marketing content reach.
You have great content, but is anyone is reading it? The Content Marketing Institute recommends that marketers add a PR component to content in order to expand sales, brand reach and thought leadership. In other words, create your own hoopla instead of hoping for it.
PR does not just mean press releases. In addition to pumping out these documents, your organization should focus on:
- Articles
- Blogs
- Websites
- YouTube
The Content Marketing Institute presents excellent ideas for the use of PR in marketing.
- Use PR to engage: Basically, engagement refers to how users interact with content. Are they asking questions, leaving comments? A good way to get interaction (engagement) is to encourage users to get in touch with your organization through social media channels.
- Use PR as Integration strategy: Integration of PR, social media, content marketing and any other marketing is crucial. This begins with knowing who your audience is, what they want from the content, and where they want to get it.

Brittany Received The Mother's Day Treatment [PICS]
Although the baby isn't due for a few months, Brittany is deserving of the Mother's Day treatment.
So, that's what we did… we started off the day with a delicious lunch at Texas Roadhouse, one of Brittany's favorite places, for obvious reasons. While we were at Roadhouse, the manager walked over to us and handed a coupon for Cold Stone Creamery… another one of Brittany's favorites (things are looking pretty good). That's where we headed for dessert, later in the day, Texas Roadhouse is filling.
After lunch and dessert, we made our way to the mall… oh crap. Things turned out pretty good though. Brittany had already registered for a diaper bag she kind of liked, but while at the mall she found the one below and LOVED it. Who am I to say no, it's Mother's Day. The diaper bag (below) was priced at $50, but the lady checking us out, she said some stuff (I really don't remember what she said, she spoke extremely fast) but whatever she said, we said thank you cause we ended up paying only $30. Nice lady.
Also, while still at the mall, we decided to look for dresses. One for my niece, who will be a flower girl in our wedding and one for our daughter who will also be part of our wedding.
I can't believe how much one little dress costs, especially since both girls will probably wear it once, but it's alright… we found the dress that our daughter will wear for the wedding (below) and then we have to narrow down which one will my niece will wear as our flower girl.
Below are the dresses that we have to choose from for my niece to wear. The colors of our wedding are grey and blue, that's why we are having a tough time deciding on her dress.
What do you think? Which dress do you like? Make our decision easier by picking out a dress you like… bridesmaids are wearing blue, Brittany will be in white, guys will be in grey tux with blue vests.
