Vatican City — Surprising pilgrims at Blessed John Paul II's tomb, Pope Francis made an early morning visit to St. Peter's Basilica and celebrated Mass with the mostly Polish pilgrims.
More than 100 priests and pilgrims were gathered Thursday at the basilica's Chapel of St. Sebastian for a morning Mass near Blessed John Paul's tomb. Pope Francis arrived unannounced to preside at the liturgy and prayed for the late pope's intercession to help today's Christians be strong, not weak in their faith.
Being Christian means putting God at the center of one's life and drawing strength from his boundless love in order to persevere in hard times, Pope Francis said in his homily.
"Without Christ's love, without living this love, recognizing it and being nourished by it, you can't be Christian," he said, according to a full transcript of the homily released by Vatican Radio.
Christians are people who "feel watched over by the Lord -- with that gaze that's so beautiful, loved by the Lord and loved until the very end," he said.
Pope Francis focused his brief homily on the day's Gospel readings, which looked at St. Paul's assurance that nothing "will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ," and St. Luke's account of Jesus' sadness when Jerusalem rejected his love.
St. Paul, who feels weak and sinful, finds strength in God's love in order to bear tremendous difficulties, the pope said. Jerusalem, on the other hand, is unfaithful and unwilling to be loved by God, he said.
The pope said Jesus tells the city's people, "You have put your trust in many idols that promise you everything, they say they'll give you everything, then they have abandoned you."
Jesus, who yearns to gather the children of God together, like a hen gathering "her brood under her wings," suffers when people reject his love, the pope said.
Even worse, Pope Francis said, is when people acknowledge that God's love exists, but think of it only as "something abstract, it's something that doesn't touch my heart and I make do as much as I can in life."
These people live God's love just halfway: "a little bit, yes, a little bit, no, depending on what's convenient," he said.
Instead, the best way to fall fully in love with God is by encountering the Lord and experiencing the life-changing event of salvation, he said.
"Christians feel that their life was saved by the blood of Christ. This relationship of love creates love," he said.
What kept that love and trust strong in St. Paul's life, even during times of illness, persecution and betrayal, was keeping his life centered on Christ's love, the pope said.

I just found this discussion board and I'm hoping to hear some feedback. I am 42 and had my first seizure when I was 17. I've been on dilantin ever since, with a brief trial (that was miserable) on tegratol, during pregnancy. I am contemplating going off dilantin due to osteopenia in my hip and spine. I've had it monitored for several years and despite taking supplements and doing weight bearing exercise, it is still progressing. Additionally, my mother has osteoperosis so the genetics are against me. Therefore, the dilantin depleting the calcuim is really not helping the situation. I'm really nervous about a switch.... anyone have any advice?
Thanks, in advance, for any help you may have to offer!

Lindbergh 'bullied' its way through approval process for Long expansion, Ruzicka contends
Crestwood followed codes, laws, city attorney says
Kari Williams
Staff Reporter
November 20, 2013 -
Crestwood resident Frank Ruzicka claimed last week that Lindbergh Schools bullied its way through the approval process for the expansion of Long Elementary School into the adjacent Doercrest Manor subdivision.
Ruzicka said one of Lindbergh Schools' points of contention during that process was that it was limited in the types of curb cuts it could have because of St. Louis County requirements.
"Clearly Lindbergh School District understands it has to sit and listen to St. Louis County, but when it comes to Crestwood, we don't rate," Ruzicka told the Crestwood Board of Aldermen. "It has been our contention that the Lindbergh School District has bullied and intimidated its way through this approval process."
A Lindbergh Schools administrator, according to Ruzicka, told Doercrest residents "that the bar was lower for them" as far as planning and zoning requirements.
"When this issue came to you, they brought in a pinch hitter, John King, and he threatened us with eminent domain," Ruzicka said.
Beth Johnston, Lindbergh Schools community relations director, told the Call "Lindbergh Schools would never consider using eminent domain toward its neighbors."
In response to Ruzicka's other comments about the district, Johnston said Lindbergh stands behind its previous statements and the district "look(s) forward to traffic improvements at Long Elementary School that will result in a safer environment for thousands of student and families for several generations."
City Attorney Lisa Stump told the board that after reviewing files and speaking with City Administrator Mark Sime, it was determined that Crestwood followed the appropriate codes and "all its applicable laws" in relation to the Long Elementary School expansion. The issue at the beginning of process, according to Stump, was whether the district should have submitted a site plan. There were two reasons that did not occur, according Stump, and the city "was in compliance" with its handling of the situation.
"First of all, the code itself under the language provides that there doesn't have to be site plan for (an) R-1 area, which is what this involved," Stump said, "and secondly there is significant case law that says a government entity, a separate political subdivision, is not subject to zoning code or zoning regulations of a city under all circumstances "
But Ruzicka contends that, according to Missouri Revised Statute 177.021, Lindbergh — or any school district — "has no lower bar or different set of review and approval criteria than any other entity."
The statute states, "All real estate owned by any school district of this state is subject to the provisions of all orders, resolutions or ordinances of any county, city, town or village or other political subdivision or public corporation of this state, which relate to the erection, construction and maintenance of sewers and sewer systems, and of sidewalks, guttering, curbing and paving of the streets and alleys adjoining and abutting the real estate of the school districts and to the assessment of the costs thereof, to the same extent as that of private citizens of this state." Though Lindbergh Schools is a "separate political subdivision," Ruzicka said it is still required to abide by state statutes.
"One could argue that they should be held to a higher standard because we're dealing with (the) safety and welfare of children," Ruzicka said. "This is the basis of our argument from day one "
Ruzicka said "misinformation, misunderstanding and intimidation" are at the "root of the issue" with the Long Elementary School expansion and asked Stump to issue a stop-work order until the issues he raised can be "fully researched."
"It's clear to me that we have situation of an outgoing city attorney, a newly installed city administrator, a vacancy in public works and a Board of Aldermen that were confused, misdirected, intimidated, whatever the case may be," Ruzicka said. "We need to review the current municipal code in light of (Missouri Revised Statute 177.021) and make sure the Lindbergh School District is in complete compliance with the code."
While Stump said that particular statute is "a little more limiting," she is not aware of "any specific provision" that is not being complied with.
Several residents Doercrest Manor residents, including Ruzicka, have said that while they support the expansion and improvement of the school's campus, they oppose the district's traffic plan. That plan calls for a gated exit at Doercrest Drive that five buses will use twice a day to access Eddie & Park Road.
District officials, however, say the plan will improve safety by separating car and bus traffic, which is "the gold standard" for elementary campuses. Lindbergh officials met twice with nearby residents and based on residents' comments, modified the plan.
The Long Elementary improvements include expansion of the existing parking lot, creation of a new entrance to the parking facility opposite Banyan Tree Court, removal of the existing exit to Sappington Road and creation of the gated-drive connection between the parking lot and Doercrest Drive.
In addition, the expansion will feature two multipurpose athletic fields and a nature trail.

Web 2.0 lessons-learned over the Summer
JohnFeller 110000RUW6 Tags:  ibm mashups web2.0 searchengines communitybuilding apple iphone mobiledevices youtube google 4,435 Views
1. Mobile Search with related advertising opportunities remains the investment rage amongst Google, Yahoo,
and Microsoft. Apple's iPhone campaign fueling this fire (stock up 80% since announcement in Feb. 2007).
2. How to get started, not Why is the theme of the customer discussion. A shift from the spring due to notable
F500 investments such as News Corp acquisition of Dow Jones (parent of the Wall Street Journal) and Microsoft
offering $300mm for just 5% of Facebook. Agreement that there is something to this notion of Community Building
or Social Networking. Starting inside the enterprise to harness collective wisdom of employees, with a goal
of improved innovation, is compelling. Existing business processes and right mix of staff are inhibitors to taking
advantage. Is the benefit in early adoption or fast-following?!
3. Not much of a wow factor in related tools: blogs, wikis, feeds etc as judged to be the basics but not project justifiers.
4. Positive reception to IBM's own related experiences: Jams, Think Place, Technology Adoption Program, and
quantity of internal blogs, wikis etc. A concerted offering would be valued by marketplace.
5. Mash-ups of enterprise data could be a big winner; need cohabitation story with portal capabilities.
6. Appear Bigger than You Are via Web 2.0 (YouTube, Community Building) is an attraction to mid-market customers.
7. Mid-sized firms attracted, increasingly so, to hosted apps by likes of Google (e.g. Google Pack, NetBooks)
8. Web 2.0, as the friendly face of service-enabled architectures (SOA), is not yet obvious to customers and to sellers.
Remains a tough, internal sell from IT to its business sponsors.
9. Information Security is top of mind, well beyond a traditional IT control point: 'If I move outside of enterprise
with Web 2.0, how would I handle InfoSec and legal hurdles?'
10. Not much Web 2.0 budget in '07 and being budgeted for TBD projects in '08.

Detectives are warning females to be extra careful when out alone in the dark after a woman was sexually assaulted in the early hours of this morning.
The attack, described as serious, took place in the Eskdale Drive area of Dalton-in-Furness at around 1am.
Although uninjured police said the victim was left distressed after being approached near to the junction of Langdale Avenue, and subjected to the assault.
The offender was described as being 5ft 7, of medium build, with curly cropped hair and facial stubble. He ran off in the direction of Langdale Crescent.
Barrow officers have advised that members of the public be extra vigilant, especially young women walking around after dark.
They encourage people to let someone know where they are going, and to be accompanied if at all possible.
Anyone with information on the incident should contact DC Kerry Harris at Barrow CID on non-emergency 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/7/2011 (2231 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Shaw Performing Arts Centre (Venue 9), to Saturday
Good news first: you'll leave Bedlam knowing how to give a lobotomy by sticking a probe through an eye socket.
Bad news: sitting through this plodding piece makes you feel like you've had one.
All snark aside, Bedlam is simply not ready for the stage. After the fringe guide went to press, Edmonton's Alexander Forsyth swapped his original entry, Pretty Bird, for his one-man monologue about the doctor who popularized transorbital lobotomies.
It's disappointing that Forsyth — who is sober and likable onstage — didn't have something more polished in his catalogue. Bedlam feels like a too-early script rehearsal: it's monotonous, broken by long pauses that could be pregnant but are more likely forgotten lines. A good chunk of time is spent tediously reciting patients' medical records.
By the time the play strikes actual emotion and character development, it's too late: the audience has already checked out.
— Melissa Martin
From the official Fringe Festival program:
NOTE THIS IS A DIFFERENT PLAY THAN LISTED IN PRINTED PROGRAM: "December 7, 1952. This is Dr. Walter Freeman. The procedures I have performed have changed the world, not certainly for the better, but perhaps neither for the worse." A journey of loss and regret in the most desperate of circumstances, this is the tragic true story of the father of modern lobotomy and his horrific quest to end mental illness.

Top Review by sbera007
This was so quick and easy! We used hot salsa and the blackened spice from my recipe#216281. We only had a 15 oz. can corn and we used the whole thing. We served this over minute brown rice. Next time, I may go ahead and heat the pork with the rice and bean salsa. This is a great go to weeknight meal. Thanks! Reviewed for My-3-chefs November 2009.

A "revenue bubble" will benefit Australia after 2020 as major gas projects come online, and it is viewed as a future fund by at least one senior Labor figure.
"We are long on gas. That's a business we are seeing a lot of growth in," Mr Sargent said.
"We are going to see another wave of revenue come to us, another bubble of revenue come to the country in the early 2020s after these large projects get producing."
He said money ought to be set aside to invest for the future.
Former resources minister and senior Labor figure
"We have a huge amount of capital investment under way. The LNG sector is a key example of that. By 2016-17 we are going to have huge returns to the community. By 2025 we will start reaping in revenue which I actually regard as our future fund."
Mr Ferguson sounded an alarm on future major projects.
"We are a high-wage economy. We have to start paying attention to our cost structure. We cannot have in some sections of the economy huge wage increases, and LNG is an example at the moment. The costs of building projects and delivering the outcome are starting to price us out of the market."
Several major companies have seen the cost of big gas projects blow out.
Recently, Woodside Petroleum announced it would cancel its multibillion-dollar Browse gas project.
The Australian Financial Review event was presented in partnership with Shell. Its vice-president for the global business environment,
In one, economic growth was slower and natural gas dominated. In the other, faster growth and higher energy prices made longer use of coal more profitable so coal and oil remained dominant.
Mr Bentham said it was vital that business, government and civil society worked effectively together. "At the moment that seems to be a real struggle. Partners keep tripping over each other's feet," he said.
Australia's chief scientist,
He called for investment in engineering talent in Australia and said 457 visas would not fill the gap.
"In order to prepare ourselves, we need to ask whether 18 per cent of our graduating class from our universities should be in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, when in countries to our north it is 45 per cent." The government should provide grants to encourage people to study engineering and maths, Professor Chubb said.

Only 2 Days Away! Join us for the 3rd Annual Green Families Celebration!
This Wednesday the Green Alliance is celebrating the 2nd birthday of the Green Alliance Green Families Club. Join us this Wednesday, August 27, from 4 – 7 p.m. as the GA hosts a Green Families Celebration and Farmer's Market. The bash is free and open to the public.
The Green Families Club (GFC) was created in July 2012 in response to market research which revealed the GA's membership was largely made up of families with young children. The GFC set out with the goal to inspire a young generation of environmentalists, or "future environmentalists" (as the GFC t-shirts proudly boast). The GA now has over 4,000 regular members, and nearly 500 GFC members, with over 115 local business partners.
"After looking more closely at who our members were, we realized that many of them were moms and dads - people who had a very real vested interest in safer, greener, more local products and services," said GA Director Sarah Brown. "We realized pretty quickly that bringing families together – helping them learn from one another – would be a great way to help bring more attention to the green-certified businesses in the Green Alliance."

Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England Facility Tour
I visited the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England (CCNNE) where I received a tour of their distribution facility in Seabrook, New Hampshire. Walking the premises with CCNNE's Director of Capabilities, Mike Elmer, and Sustainability Manager, Ray Dube, I was given a comprehensive insider look into the company's great recycling initiatives.
CCNNE is the fourth largest, independent Coca-Cola bottler; a franchise authorized by CCNNE's parent company, but owned individually carrying Coca-Cola's iconic name and branding while remaining a locally operated New Hampshire business. The business' employees, from those at their desks to the drivers of the CCNNE's distribution trucks, care about the environment and consider working for CCNNE more than just a job; to them it's a lifestyle choice. The employees are aware of the impact CCNNE has on the environment and the state.
In 2012 6,000 truckloads of recyclable materials were brought to the Londonderry production facility, emptying the center's dumpster nine times. That equates to over 60 trailer loads of materials recycled in 2012. They explained that during the summer months. A large truck gets filled in the Seabrook facility with empty bottles to recycle about every two weeks. However, it is not only the cans and plastic bottles that Coca Cola recycles. Other materials include: shrink film, cardboard, syrup barrels, cooler gliders, water and more.
Green Alliance Hosts Roundtable Discussion on Transportation
On August 20, the Green Alliance hosted a round table discussion with New Hampshire First District Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter to discuss the future of alternative transportation in the state including, rail systems, additional commuter transport, bicycle and walking routes and lower gas taxes.
"New Hampshire is moving forward, but there is still work to be done," said Shea Porter.
Congresswoman Shea Porter was joined by Congressman Earl Blumeneur of Oregon's Third District as well as many local businesses and companies such as: COAST, Gus' Bicycles, N.H. Bike-Walk Alliance, East Coast Greenway Alliance, Portsmouth Public Works, C&J Trailways, Memorial Bridge Designer HNTB, Pike Industries, Rockingham Planning Committee, N.H. DOT, Portsmouth Planning Department, Southern N.H. Planning Committee and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) N.H. Division.
Though the discussion ranged from building a bike trail from the northern corner of Maine to the Florida Keys, to the poor infastructure of the state's roadways and transportation, it also broached topics like keeping New Hampshire's recent graduates to live and work in New Hampshire by providing them the opportunities for less expensive and alternative commuting options.
The roundtable format gave representatives of each attending business the chance to voice their concerns regarding the state's approach to improve roadways, reducing emissions and connecting different parts of the state with alternative transportation options. From business leaders to the workers on the job site, the day's discussion covered nearly every point of view. Congressman Blumeneur shared his experience working with the city of Portland, Oregon and how, by adding rail cars for local commuters, the city has blossomed economically and creatively.

Author James Browning Reads from his Novel "The Fracking King."
On Wednesday, August 20, author James Browning will read from his novel "The Fracking King" at the Rice Public Library in Kittery, Maine starting at 6 p.m. The public is welcome and can register through the library's website.
Fracking, while a debated and hotly contested issue throughout the country, is also point of contention here in New England. Hydraulic fracturing (fracking) is the process of injecting pressured liquid, composed of water and sand with added chemicals, into the ground to break up shale rocks in order to release oil and natural gases. The idea behind fracking is to open untapped fossil fuel resevoirs with the potential to boost the economy in states where it is approved. Debate surrounds fracking's negative effects on the environment - such as contaminating natural water sources - and its impact on human health.
James Browning lives in Pennsylvania and is the co-author of "Deep Drilling, Deep Pockets," a series of exposés about the political expenditures of the fracking industry. "The Fracking King" is his first novel and explores boarding school, hardcore Scrabble fanatics and fracking.
Publishers Weekly says, "Browning effortlessly translates his passion for environmental change into a rousing, witty, and enlightening tale about outsiders and Scrabble."

EZ Bikes & Scooters an Easier Way to Get Around
Hate spending so much money on gas? Why not save money and arrive in style on a scooter or an electric bike from EZ Bikes and Scooters. They have a wide variety of bikes and scooters at great prices!
Tom Hemenway started EZ Bikes and Scooters many years ago after he had a health scare. He knew that it was time to get back into shape and decided bike riding would be a good idea. Hemenway soon remembered that some of the terrain that he encountered was more difficult to navigate on and made his rides less enjoyable. Hemenway later came across a style of bike known as the EZ Electric Bike. This model of bike had a motor that the operator could switch on that would power the bike through tough hills and climbs. Hemenway loved this bike so much that he decided to add on to his already existing car audio business and start EZ Bike and Scooters.
EZ Bike and Scooters has grown over the years and they now offer over 50 different scooters and electric bikes to choose from! No matter what option you choose, you are doing your part to help the environment. Their bikes are able to charge quickly and efficiency using a minimum amount of electricity and have long battery lives. Their gas-powered scooters get amazing mileage and cut down on the amount of emissions being released. Choosing to ride a scooter or a bike helps keep more cars off the road and keeps their harmful emissions out of the environment.
Cornerstone Tree Care Works For The Trees
Micum Davis of Cornerstone Tree Care is truly a tree's best friend. When he says that he "speaks for the trees" he really means it and it shows in his work. It may seem odd to someone looking in from the outside when Davis suggests leaving some of the trees that a costumer wanted 100% removed but that is why Cornerstone Tree Service is special. Davis understands that trees are valuable to the costumer's yards and even more valuable to the environment as a whole.
Identifying trees that Davis believes could remain healthily and provide an important service to the environment is far from the only step that Cornerstone Tree Care has taken to become greener. Davis has implemented a no spike policy to his tree care. This means that his workers will not wear spikes to help them climb trees. Spiking the tree can leave wounds that are permanent and could eventually lead to the death of the tree. Davis comments that many other companies also do this but there are still a few that use spikes and he thought it was important to make sure his company was spike less. Cornerstone has also implemented policies to limit the harms of fuel emissions on the environment. They have a no idling policy on all of their vehicles, all of their diesel has been switched to a friendlier bio diesel and Davis has started driving a Prius! Cornerstone also makes their own homemade mulch from recycled trees and other recycled lawn and yard products.

Hold the Spam!
RAM Printing is sponsoring the (mostly) live Monty Python reunion broadcast at The Music Hall in downtown Portsmouth on August 14 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $18. The reunion show is the first time the comedy troupe known the world over has performed together live since 1980.
RAM Printing was the first printer in New Hampshire to receive Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Certification. The company completed the required "chain of custody"—indicating that at every point from pulp to paper mill to distributor to printer - to receive the FSC Certification. RAM also responsibly sources its raw materials from the Rainforest Alliance's "SmartWood" Program and prints with soy-based inks. RAM has followed sustainable printing practices since 1989; well in advance of the current green trend. As "early adopters," RAM has set the standard in New England and perhaps even nationally, for the greening of the print industry. RAM feels it is important to raise the company standard to provide the consumer with a better product, while minimizing their footprint and succeeding financially.

Same potent lineup. Brashear still nicked, apparently. Kotalik still prucha'd. Vinny L is playing for Tampa, not NY.

It was the Rangers' first 3-on-4 goal since Adam Graves scored one against Florida, Oct. 25, 1996. You wouldn't think it would be that rare, would you?

Willie Nelson: A Man for All Americans
He's recorded thirty-six albums, appeared in twenty-nine films, written four books, married four women, and fathered nine children. He's been a Simpsons character, an ice-cream flavor, and a Baywatch guest star. He pretty much always seems to be in a good mood, except when he's singing, and then he'll break your poor Yankee heart.
Sometimes he seems more myth than man. He turns corn into diesel. Grown men cry in his midst. The unthinkable merger of beard and braid becomes something almost... elegant.
Then there's his record of activism, which makes Tim Robbins look like a dabbler. In addition to Farm Aid, UNICEF, fair treatment of horses (you heard me), and First Amendment rights advocacy, Nelson has his other great pet project: marijuana legalization. And if that last one may not be entirely altruistic, we don't think that will stop a certain constituency from bestowing appreciative, if somewhat meandering, thoughts on Willie this fine April day.
All that's great, but it's not why we love him. We love the guy for his nearly fifty years of great music, and for something even better: still being here to play it.

TinyMCE advanced not working wordpress 3.0
I have installed and activated the advance tiny mce plugin but I cannot see the toolbar in the editor. I have changed the settings, cleared the browser cache (and waited for a night), restarted the system couple of times, tested in IE9 and Firefox 5, but it still does not seem to be working.
Moreover, with the plugin activated, the text in the HTML editor and Visual editor remains the same (i.e. in HTML format).
I have seen similar posts on the forum before but none contain the solution to the problem. I am using wordpress 3.0 and have installed corresponding version of TinyMCE advanced plugin.
Please suggest.

Woman faces DUI charge in fatal accident
A 28-year-old Clearwater woman is accused of driving drunk when she turned in front of a motorcyclist, causing an accident that killed the man in July, authorities said. Lacy Smithson of 2275 Beverly Lane was arrested Thursday on a charge of DUI manslaughter. Clearwater police said toxicology tests revealed Smithson had a blood-alcohol level of 0.15, nearly twice the threshold at which Florida law presumes that someone is unable to safely drive a motor vehicle. Bobby Joseph Paonessa of Pinellas Park was pronounced dead at the scene of the July 10 accident on Missouri Avenue. According to police, Paonessa, 26, was headed south on Missouri when Smithson, who was northbound, turned in front of him. Smithson turned herself in Thursday at the Pinellas County Jail. She was released Thursday night after posting bail. In addition to the manslaughter charge, she was cited for failure to yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn.
New boutique opens downtown
A new business in downtown Clearwater held its grand opening Friday night. The Blue Dahlia, a boutique at 409 Cleveland St. next door to the Capitol Theatre, specializes in vintage and new apparel and interiors. "We have clothing, furniture, gift items, candles, bags and pillows," owner Paula Cadman said. "Think of it as a mini-Anthropologie." Its hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Call (727) 239-7858 for more information.
Yet more bad luck for tree trimmer
Tree trimmer Ralph St. Peter can't catch a break. Africanized honeybees stung him as many as 150 times Aug. 7 as he tried to cut dead oaks at a Safety Harbor home. St. Peter returned to the scene Monday to finish the job, but took out a power pole and live electrical wires. He learned Tuesday that Progress Energy may bill his employer for the repairs. Now, Pinellas County is conducting an investigation to determine if it will assess a financial penalty of its own. "A permit would have been required and a permit was not pulled, so staff is reviewing the situation," county spokesman Tim Closterman said. The county learned of the discrepancy when "someone from Safety Harbor" alerted them. "Ultimately, the property owner is responsible for pulling the permit," Closterman said. He said he didn't know when the county would wrap up its review and render a verdict.

A Bendigo nightclub that organised a "jelly-wrestling" competition between female school students has bowed to public pressure and cancelled its event.
The Universal on McCrae nightclub made national headlines yesterday for a muck-up day party it planned to host tonight, featuring a jelly-wrestling competition between Catholic College Bendigo and Bendigo Senior Secondary School girls.
But last night The Bendigo Weekly reported that the venue's manager Toby Gray cancelled the party and would consider taking legal action against media outlets for publishing "certain untruths" and damaging his nightclub's reputation.
"We are bitterly disappointed with the negative response from individuals and the media about our major event," Mr Gray told the paper's website.
"We have cancelled our special event, which included special guest Dan Ewing from Home and Away."
Mr Gray could not be contacted for comment by The Age last night.
Yesterday afternoon, the nightclub used social media to delete all references to the Bendigo schools after media attention.
Mr Gray said he had posted on Facebook and made it clear Catholic College Bendigo and Bendigo Senior Secondary College had nothing to do with the muck-up day promotion.
Mr Gray said there were sexual connotations linked with jelly-wrestling but the reality was the girls would be wearing shorts and singlets.
"Some girls these days get around in a lot less when they're out and about," he said.
"And they're all consenting adults."
Both Catholic College Bendigo and Bendigo Senior Secondary College slammed Universal for attempting to "cash-in" on muck-up day.
"This is appalling," Bendigo Senior Secondary College principal Dale Pearce said.
"For each of the past three or four years at least one of the local licensed premises have sought to take financial advantage of students ending their school year ... if this is not a breach of their licensing conditions it should be."
Catholic College Bendigo deputy principal Michael Chalkley said to advertise the activities as if the schools had given their consent was "most disappointing".
A father of an 18-year-old student phoned the Bendigo Advertiser yesterday and labelled the promotion as "absolutely disgusting".
"It's misogynist, sexist and close to what a strip club do," he said.
Mr Gray said he had been fielding phone calls from media outlets around the country throughout the day.
"It's all been taken out of context," he said.
"We're not doing anything wrong."
Year 12 students across the Bendigo region will celebrate their final day of school today before exams begin in November.

The Gillard government's proposed change to Fair Work Australia's name ignores the wishes of an independent review of the national workplace laws and the tribunal's president Justice Iain Ross.
Workplace Relations Minister
The three-member review of the Fair Work Act recommended the new name should include the word "commission" and not the words "Fair Work". The act, which governs the industrial relations system, is closely associated with the federal Labor government.
The review argued there were too many bodies with Fair Work in their titles – such as Fair Work Australia, the Fair Work Ombudsman and the Fair Work division of the Federal Court – and it was confusing.
It said Fair Work Australia's title should be changed to clearly separate the workplace tribunal functions from its administrative arm which oversees the regulation of unions and employer bodies.
In March, Justice Ross told The Australian Financial Review that changing the name would help depoliticise the tribunal's role.
"My starting position is it needs to move away from that sort of badging: Fair Work Australia, Fair Work Ombudsman," Justice Ross said.
"I've got in mind appending the word 'commission' to whatever it is. I think that's certainly the minimum step.
"I think it would be better if it was the Australian Employment Commission or the Australian Workplace Commission."
A spokesman for Mr Shorten would not say why the recommendations were ignored but said: "As the minister indicated yesterday, the government intends, as part of this tranche of legislation, to change Fair Work Australia's name to the Fair Work Commission."
While in opposition, Labor named its workplace policy "Fair Work" before the 2007 federal election in a move that was seen as a counter to the Howard government's Work Choices law.
Labor was criticised at the time for taking the same Orwellian approach to public policy as the Coalition but the name Fair Work was personally approved by Labor's then workplace spokeswoman,
Justice Ross reiterated his support for a name change in the foreword to Fair Work Australia's annual report this week and said a distinction should be made between its tribunal and administrative functions.
He acknowledged criticism of the conduct of Health Services Union inquiries by Fair Work Australia's administrative arm and said it had to keep improving its performance.

Hollywood Park promotes officer to chief
Updated 1:51 pm, Tuesday, November 26, 2013
Shad Prichard, a veteran of the U.S. Army and the Kendall County Sheriff's Office, is Hollywood Park's new police chief.
City Council Nov. 19 approved the appointment of Prichard, who succeeds Steve Kwiecien, who retired Aug. 30 following a 25-year tenure.
Prichard joined the Army in 1997, and served with the Military Intelligence Corps as a special agent.
During that time Prichard served in Bosnia, Kuwait and Afghanistan, receiving 25 ribbons and citations.
In 2005, Prichard left the Army and joined Kendall County law enforcement as a patrol corporal. He rose through the ranks to lieutenant over patrol and criminal Investigations.
News Channel
While in Kendall County, Prichard was active in the community, including being a Salvation Army board member. He also had an unsuccessful bid for sheriff.
In 2012 Prichard joined the Hollywood Park police as a patrol sergeant. He holds a degree in criminal justice and is pursuing a degree in public administration.
The city received 15 applications when the vacant chief's position was advertised publicly.
Mayor David Ortega set up a panel consisting of tenured law enforcement professionals to review applications and interview candidates.
The panel used a scoring method to cull the applicant pool to seven individuals, from which Prichard was named a finalist.
Prichard thanked fellow officers for their service and commitment to the city.
He pledged to boost the presence of uniform patrol in neighborhoods, and to "instill a renewed sense of pride and professionalism in the police department."
"At the end of the day, we'll be less top heavy (in the department) and have more (police) hitting the streets," Ortega said.
Prichard also vowed to establish official social media web pages to keep the residents informed, as well as attend public events to be as accessible as possible.
"I thank the mayor and City Council for the opportunity to be a leader in the great city of Hollywood Park," he added.
Ortega told a reporter Prichard's dedication to the job and city, and his experience all stood out during the interviewing process.
"I think he'll be an exciting boost of energy for the town of Hollywood Park," Ortega said at the council meeting.
Joe Quintero, who was acting chief since Kwiecien's retirement, applied for the permanent position. Ortega said Quintero is staying with the department in a supervisory capacity.
In other action, economic development corporation President Brent Lane briefed council on the results of a city branding campaign.
EDC board members worked with city staff and area public relations firm Dublin and Associates to form a set of goals and strategies.
"Hollywood Park is at a tipping point in terms of revenue and infrastructure. I think we owe it to ourselves to create a self-sustaining future," Lane said.
"Let's raise values instead of tax rates."
Some top goals include preserving the city's character, and attracting others who appreciate it, and boosting the city's revenues by raising property values and sales while keeping taxes low.
Lane said a new logo, such as one of a silhouette of a buck near an oak tree above the city's name, would provide a greater awareness of what Hollywood Park represents.
Strategies would include new street and entry signs, landscaping, LED street lights, a new city website, improving frontage property and obtaining a "Tree City USA" designation under the National Arbor Day Foundation.
Council members lauded the EDC's rebranding ideas.
"The capability on your board is phenomenal. It's a team effort. Your work is impressive," Councilman Matt Amerman told Lane.
Ortega also read a proclamation creating the Hollywood Park Bicycle Club.
Resident Justin Moore, a certified bicycle instructor, has been volunteering to teach fellow residents about bike safety.
He also has suggested the development of bike lanes as consultants work to build a long-range road improvement plan for the city.

Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's only daughter, whose defection to the West during the Cold War embarrassed the ruling communists and made her a best-selling author, has died. She was 85.
Lana Peters - who was known internationally by her previous name, Svetlana Alliluyeva - died of colon cancer November 22 in Wisconsin, a state where she lived off and on after becoming a US citizen, Coroner Mary Turner said.
Her defection in 1967 - which she said was partly motivated by the poor treatment of her late husband, Brijesh Singh, by Soviet authorities - caused an international furor and was a public relations coup for the US.
Peters, who left behind two children, carried with her a memoir she had written in 1963 about her life in Russia. Twenty Letters to a Friend was published within months of her arrival in the US and became a best-seller.
Raised by a nanny with whom she grew close after her mother's death in 1932, Peters was Stalin's only daughter.
She had two brothers, Vasili and Jacob. Jacob was captured by the Nazis in 1941 and died in a concentration camp. Vasili died an alcoholic at age 40.
Peters graduated from Moscow University in 1949, worked as a teacher and translator and travelled in Moscow's literary circles before leaving the Soviet Union.
She was married four times - the last time to William Wesley Peters, after she came to the US, and she took the name Lana Peters.
The couple had a daughter, Olga, before divorcing in 1973.
Peters wrote three more books, including Only One Year, an autobiography published in 1969.
Her father's legacy appeared to haunt her throughout her life. She denounced his policies, which included sending millions into labour camps, but often said other Communist Party leaders shared the blame.
"Over me my father's shadow hovers, no matter what I do or say," she lamented in a 1983 interview with the Chicago Tribune.
After living in Britain for two years, Peters returned to the Soviet Union with Olga in 1984 at age 58, saying she wanted to be reunited with her children.
Her Soviet citizenship was restored, and she denounced her time in the US and Britain, saying she never really had freedom.
But more than a year later, she asked for and was given permission to leave after feuding with relatives. She returned to the US and vowed never to go back to Russia.
She went into seclusion in the last decades of her life.
Her survivors include her daughter Olga, who now goes by Chrese Evans and lives in Portland, Oregon.
A son, Josef, died in 2008 at age 63 in Moscow, according to media reports in Russia.
Yekaterina (born in 1950), who goes by Katya, is a scientist who studies an active volcano in eastern Siberia.

'Don't Let Me Die', a single from Brown's new album, is the singer's ode for his ex-wife who died in February of drowning.
Bobby Brown, who has been doing some press appearances on television in the past few weeks, performed for the first time a single about ex-wife Whitney Houston. "Don't Let Me Die" was debuted live on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Wednesday, May 16, three months after Houston died.
In the song Brown spoke of how much love he got for her when they were married. "I didn't realize that every breath I took was from you/You were my air," he sang. Brown also admitted to his faults, singing "I guess I (messed) up pretty bad/I didn't know who you were/I didn't know what we had ...Now I'm stuck living in the past/Trying to get the pieces back/But I guess now you're gone."
Brown and Houston were married from 1992 to 2007 and had one daughter together. Brown is going to marry his longtime fiancee and mother of his young son Alicia Etheridge in Hawaii next month.
While talking to Ellen DeGeneres on her show earlier this week, Brown revealed what he will miss from Houston most. "Her voice," he told DeGeneres. "I mean, we get to hear it everyday but just to see her sing was amazing. Where she came from with it, was amazing. That's what I'm going to miss."
"Don't Let Me Die" is included in his new album "The Masterpiece" which is due June 5.

Profit margins for beef packers eased lower last week, and losses for cattle feeders were slightly less, but it's clear that packers hold the market leverage at this point.
Cattle feeding margins improved $5.80 per head for the week, leaving losses at an average $109 per head, according to the Sterling Beef Profit Tracker. Beef packers saw their margins decline $7 per head, with average profits now exceeding $89 per head.

Negotiated cash hog prices gained $2.22 per hundredweight last week to $93.79. Pork packer margins declined $3.51 per head for the week, resulting in losses of $6.56 per head.
A year ago cattle feeders sold cash cattle at $120.92 per hundredweight, resulting in losses of $74.02 per head. Last year cash hogs fetched $85.14 per hundredweight, resulting in losses of $9.26 per head.
The Sterling Beef and Pork Profit Trackers are calculated using actual weekly prices for both cattle and hogs, feed costs, beef and pork cutout prices, drop credits and other factors that influence profit margins.

That's a lot of features, you could probably get away with much less though I'm sure they wouldn't go to waste if you've bigger plans for it in the future. What price is it?
If it's that whole development board from your link I think that's pretty good value. Plenty of scope for experimenting on there.

My favourite place to read is really anywhere so long as I can spread myself out. Couch, rug, bed, whatever feels best. This is because I'm a fidgeter. I flip-flop around a book like it's the only thing I have to hold onto in a storm.
I wish I could tell you that I read in my favourite café with my legs neatly crossed, sitting next to a peppermint tea atop a dainty saucer, all in a beam of morning light. But I can't, because I'm lying on my belly, ignoring the fact that leaning on my arms is making them fall asleep. When they do, no problem. I just plop around onto my back and hold the book above my head, or maybe curl around the book on my side in some unnatural fashion, or sit up and balance it on my knees.
Did you just step on something? Oh, that was me. I was rolled up in a blanket on the floor. Don't worry about it.
When I was a teenager, I even threw sitting awkwardly upside down into the mix, legs thrown up and over the back of an armchair, but had to give that up when I became a Lady because no gentleman worth his salt takes an upside-down person to the altar. Not that I'm fishing for husbands when I'm halfway through the latest George R.R. Martin, but you have to draw a general conduct line somewhere, don't you think?

There is a saying "you can kill more flies with honey than with vinegar" and while I try to abide by this whenever I am confronted with something unpleasant, I can't say I am always successful. Sometimes you just can't be sweet when you are angry.
But if you are a person who is fed up with the unrealistic standards of beauty that the media places on women to entice us to buy more products (best case scenario) and loathe our bodies (worst case scenario), I found an organization that is combating this with sweetness instead of bitterness.
Love your Body is an organization that is finding all kinds of creative and educational ways to get women to love their bodies. They have an entire page on their website full of ideas and links to other websites on "what you can do to love your body". They sponsor a poster contest every year for creating positive self image messages for women (some of which are in this blog posting)
One of my favorite pages on their site is The ABC's and D's of commercial images of women which is a slide show of various ways advertisers promote unrealistic standards of sex and beauty to sell products. Seeing all the images one after the other is quite disturbing.
The reason I am so passionate about this organization and their campaign to help women love their body is because I work with mannequins. Mannequins are all about unrealistic standards of beauty. 90% of the mannequins on the market are tall, thin, young and Anglo. How I long for more diversity in mannequins!

Surviving Typhoon Haiyan: "Things Are Starting to Get Better."
Condora Acosta, a resident of Tacloban, rocks her 20-month-old nephew, Lestor Yen, as she waits to receive a hygiene kit from Action Against Hunger's emergency response teams. Condora is one of many survivors who sought refuge at her local church after Typhoon Haiyan devastated her community.
The urgent need for safe sanitation
Condora explains that she lost her home in the floods, as well as her shop, which was her main source of income:
"Before the typhoon, I had a little shop. But I lost all my stock in the storm, so I have no source of income. It will take time to rebuild my store, and my home. One of my family members is starting to build a shelter in the ruins of our house. I hope we can go back soon. For now, we'll stay at the church. It will take time for us to get back on our feet. For the moment, we are totally dependent on humanitarian aid."
- Condora Acosta, Typhoon Haiyan survivor, Tacloban
She worries about Lestor, who's suffering from diarrhea. He's not the only one who has fallen ill—all around Tacloban, cases of waterborne diseases are increasing because displaced families lack access to clean water and proper hygiene solutions. That's why we're distributing hygiene kits that contain essential sanitary materials such as soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, a bucket, laundry detergent, and water purification tablets.
A team effort to provide essentials
This hygiene kit distribution is truly a team effort. We worked with the church's priest and other community leaders to make a list of nearly 300 families—including Condora's family—that were staying at the church and needed hygiene kits. The kits themselves were supplied by UNICEF and brought in on trucks provided by the Philippine government. And while our first responders ran the distribution of supplies, volunteers from the community kept the lines orderly and made sure all families were well-informed. Thanks to everyone's resourcefulness and collaboration, this hygiene kit distribution was a huge success.
Condora returns to her family's spot in the church after receiving her bucket of hygiene supplies. There, Yen plays with his cousins on a toy xylophone recovered from the rubble of their home. As she listens to the children playing, Condora smiles and says happily:
"This is the first time I have seen him play since the typhoon hit. This is great! Things are starting to get better. Life is getting back to normal."
- Condora Acosta, Typhoon Haiyan survivor, Tacloban
Our teams are scaling up hygiene kit distributions in Condora's hometown of Tacloban so that more families like hers can have access to basic necessities. Our goal is to reach 650,000 families in the first phase of emergency relief. Your ongoing support can help these vulnerable families stay healthy so they can begin to rebuild their lives.

LABOUR councillors in Tendring fear the district's finances are being left unsupervised following the resignation of the council leader.
Peter Halliday quit last month after a rant at a cabinet meeting in which he described Tory colleagues as deceiving, lying individuals.
He was also the councillor responsible for finance. Paul Honeywood has taken on Mr Halliday's role on an interim basis.
Tendring Council's Labour group says it is worried the council's administration has been left paralysed in the runup to the annual budget.
Ivan Henderson, leader, said: "This shambles results exclusively from infighting among Conservative councillors and it is about time they remembered why they sought election in the first place."
Mr Henderson said the announcement of an intention to cut council tax by 0.5 per cent by Mr Halliday before his resignation must be reviewed.
He said: "It is hard to believe the local Conservatives could create such a mess.
"If it wasn't so serious for the residents of Tendring then it would be laughable."
Mr Honeywood worked closely with Mr Halliday as his deputy and was aware of the council's financial situation.
He said: "We are proposing a balanced budget that will see savings of about £2million, a 0.5 per cent cut in council tax, and the retention of the free parking cuts, without cutting any frontline services."
He added it would be reckless to appoint someone new to the post before the budget meeting. The Tories are expected to elect a new leader later this month.

Nokia missed the boat with early prototypes that hinted at the Apple iPhone and Apple iPad
0. phoneArena posted on 19 Jul 2012, 00:38
More than 7 years ago, Nokia displayed a mobile phone with a color handset and was shown finding a restaurant, playing a video game and ordering lipstick; additionally, the company also developed a prototype for a tablet computer...

That's what happens when you spend on real R&D. Sad but true. Garbage makers from Korea and China will slavishly copy all your sh*t and sell those for a lower price. Apple will tweak it a bit and their marketing will take care of the rest.
Yet Nokia could get away as they were only the OEM who could produce top-notch in-house OS (not crap like BADA or whatever Samsung is gonna call it later). Elop ruined that too.

'Garbage makers from Korea and China'?
yea i agree with the 'China' part but Korea as well?
Samsung used to copy until the SGS1, the SGS2 and the GT10.1 and the later devices are not copies, its funny how iSheeps (not calling you one) never called the SGS2 and the GT10.1 copies until the lawsuits, after that all iSheeps are going CRAZy about how its a copy just because Apple said so, now even the Galaxy Nexus and the SGS3 is al copy too now...
Just look at the comments on the announcements and the reviews of the SGS2 and the GT10.1 before the lawsuits.
And back to the point, Koreans (LG and Samsung) is now way a head of their Japanese rivals when it comes to consumer technology and Samsung deserves to be the top mobile phone maker.

Yet again, bureaucracies stifle cutting-edge development and technology in an attempt to cover their own rears and satisfy investors, rather than focusing on making products. It's what nearly killed a lot of the auto industry, as well as other industries. To quote OddTodd, "Do what you love, and the money will follow". Let the nerds in R&D push the envelope, give them the money and the engineers to make it work, test it until it passes the high standards the company is known for but within a reasonable amount of time, sell it, then repeat the process for the next model. Sure, Nokia has fumbled past opportunities, but if they make plenty of Windows Phone 8s, and make them the best options for the respective price range (low, medium, high), giving them the legendary reception, quality, battery life, screens, connectivity options, and camera quality (especially PureView) that Nokia is known for, and keep the Asha line going for the basic phones (for now), their recovery is in the bag, and they won't need to fall back to Android. Will they go back to 40% market share? Not immediately, but as other companies (including apple) have demonstrated, it is possible to come back from near desolation and have a strong recovery

You have seen what Android was supposed to look like right?
Its one thing to hate Apple but completely another to blatantly lie like that. I'm referring to the info you claimed about Google.
Nokia truly deserves to do well.
Given a chance, i would get a Nokia with Belle.

well if they could make a phone advance of five years, they should do the same again!! they should really consider the nokia air project!
i really love symbian!!! but the problem with it is that nokia wont support it now and no more ecosystem!
i wish they could at least put symbian on low end market instead of the S40! s40 really sucks!! it cant compete on the range of galaxy y price!

If you understand the basic structure of economic and market dynamics in relation to the world and general perception of technology, you would know that Nokia would achieve nothing but a big FLOP if they released this smartphone concept at that time. That's why it stayed only a concept. They did the right thing back then by not releasing it (it's another story with doing right things now).
It's never about technological concept and material product. It's allways about how society understands its need.

OK every time someone mentions nokia sales in the US
the world doesn't revolve around the US is only 4% of the smartphone market in the world doesn't matter of nokia got 100% sales in the US but non else where whats the use they should concentrate a bit on Europe where most of their loyal fans are and markets like india and china where the population is big

New 'Click It or Ticket' Campaign Commercial is a Wake-up Call [Video]
The 'Click It or Ticket' campaign kicks off today across New York State. Law enforcement agencies are cracking down on drivers who are not wearing their seat belts and The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is stepping up their efforts to encourage safe driving. They released a brand new commercial that will definitely make you think twice before leaving your seatbelt off.
