text: By Tina Snell, Staff Writer Little Falls Supt. Stephen Jones has scheduled several facilities meetings at the five schools in the district. He is asking residents to voice their opinions on what each building needs. The newest building in the district (the high school) is 42 years old, built in 1972. The first two meetings were held at the Little Falls Community High School and Lincoln Elementary this past week. The next three will be held Tuesday, Aug. 26, at the Little Falls Community Middle School; Tuesday, Sept. 2, at Dr. S.G. Knight Elementary School in Randall and Thursday, Sept. 4, at Lindbergh Elementary School. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will begin with a PowerPoint presentation, starting the conversation. It originates from the 2008 Johnson Controls presentations to the district. "This will just be a discussion with the people of Little Falls," said Jones at the Little Falls School Board meeting Monday. "Then everyone present will get a tour of the building." Jones would like to send out a request for proposals for architectural services, the sooner the better. "Maybe by October we can begin to see drawings," he said. "The windows, roofs, doors and more are not up to code." However, Jones does not want to just replace the roofs, doors, windows, but eliminate the issues caused by them. Board Member Brad Laager said, "If you're not going to build new, you have to take care of what you have." Another issue Jones brought up is that Little Falls Schools are almost at capacity for students. "The schools have changed since the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s when they were built," he said. Laager agreed, and said that when he started teaching in Little Falls, there was one room for special education. Today there are 14-15 rooms. Little Falls School Board Briefs Little Falls School Board business Tuesday night included: •Voting to hire Tanya Bridges, paraprofessional at Lindbergh Elementary School; Josh Gamage, custodian at the Little Falls Community High School; Joni Gilder-Rone, paraprofessional at Lindbergh Elementary School; Amanda Holstrom, language arts teacher at the Little Falls Community Middle School; Chad Salber, paraprofessional at Lindbergh Elementary School and Whitney Thune, second grade teacher at Lindbergh Elementary School; •Accepting the resignations of Gamage as a cleaner at Lindbergh Elementary School; and Thune as a long-term substitute kindergarten teacher at Lindbergh Elementary School; •Accepting $3,800 from Little Falls Township for the Youth Recreation Program; $175 each from Pine Country Bank and Robert LeMieur Snow Service Inc. for Community Services; U.S. and POW/MIA flags from the American Legion to the Community High School; and $500 from Melvin and Brenda VanHeel, $250 from Riitters, Thompson and Olson PA, $100 from Gregory and Gail Holtz, $250 from Adam and Heather Klever, $250 from Tim and Bridget Corbett, $25 from Larry and Cynthia Skuza, $100 from Robert Jr. and Colleen Walquist, $250 from Cecil Foote, $250 from Andrea Byers Foote and $250 from Allison Zak DC, LLC, all for the Swim Club; • Learning from Supt. Stephen Jones that the newly established registration week was a huge success with increased numbers of families participating over last year; • Hearing that the district received 78 bicycles from the city which will possibly be used for physical education opportunities; • Learning the district is harvesting lots of produce from the gardens at St. Fracis Center and that the high tunnel will soon be ready for planting; •Hearing that about 100 students have signed up for football, almost double that of several years ago; •Learning a second-chance breakfast will be served to students between first and second hour from a "Grab 'n Go" cart with the goal of increasing breakfast opportunities; • Voting to accept the handbooks for the 2014-15 school year; •Voting to accept an increase in rates for classified substitute workers that range from $9 per hour to $18.10 per hour; • Voting to pay substitute teachers $110 per day for short-term positions, thus making Little Falls competitive with other districts; •Voting to approve updated policies for the district; •Learning the three-year contract with custodians has been agreed upon and the group will receive a 9.17 percent increase in wages and benefits; • Learning the three-year contract with cleaners and groundskeepers has been agreed upon at a 9.09 percent increase for wages and benefits; •Passing the resolution stating the district will hold an election Nov. 4 with the purpose of electing three school board members for terms of four years each. The incumbent board members up for re-election are Sharon Ballou, Mark Gerbi and Brad Laager. Each will have their name on the ballot along with Sandi Stalmer; •Learning that if there will be a candidate forum for those wanting a seat on the School Board, it will be set up by the Little Falls Chamber of Commerce; and •Setting the Truth in Taxation meeting for Monday, Dec. 15, beginning at 6 p.m. It will be held in the commissioners board room at the Morrison County Government Center. The next School Board meeting will be held at the Morrison County Government Center Monday, Sept. 15, beginning at 5 p.m.

I had used Mageia 3 through Cauldron ( Mageia development version ) around a year ago, and I was optimistic that this distro would achieve something really good. A year later, I don't think that Mageia earned the popularity that their development team was expecting. Mageia is one of the most advertised distros, and it has a very active community, but I am not sure if they can compete distros like Arch and Ubuntu.
I barely know to use urpmi ( Mageia Updating Tool ), I am not using Mageia to know how good is, so I just go with some screenshots.
Mageia doesn't give the best first sight GNOME Experience, but you can tweak it anyway. It is supposed to be a good distro. It's free & easy to install, so if you have a spare disk, you can give it a shot!
Before you try it, check on release notes, and if you decide to download it consider to use the Torrent!

Mark Flood: Gratest Hits
On View: April 30 – August 7, 2016
Opening Reception: Friday, April 29, 2016 | 6:30-9PM
For most of his artistic career, Houston-based artist Mark Flood has created collages, paintings, and sculptures, and has altered found ephemera that serve to critique exuberantly the perverse ethics of the art world. The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston is pleased to present Mark Flood: Gratest Hits, the first survey of his work with pieces dating from the 1980s to 2015. Gratest Hits shows the deep wisdom and humor of three decades of Flood's work while ultimately revealing the true achievement of an artist who has produced many highly praised works and has an active career despite remaining barely visible at the museum level.

The office of Gauteng Premier Nomvula Mokonyane refused to comment on Monday on a report that she would have dismissed housing MEC Humphrey Mmemezi had she not been called out of the country on government business.
The Star reported that Mmemezi was to have been fired before the end of month and that Mokonyane wanted to be in the country when it happened.
"That decision is for the premier to make. I cannot respond to speculation. The decision on MEC Mmemezi is the premier's decision. I am not in a position to firm up what The Star has reported," said Mokonyane's spokesman Xoli Mngambi.
The premier reportedly had the full support of Gauteng ANC chairman Paul Mashatile and the party's provincial secretary David Makhura, who is Mmemezi's deputy.
Mmemezi recently made headlines for his alleged misuse of government funds, including a claim that he used his department-issued credit card to buy a R10 000 painting from a fast food restaurant in Pretoria.
West Rand teenager Thomas Ferreira was hit by a VIP vehicle linked to Mmemezi in November 2011, and apparently suffered permanent physical damage. The matter is currently in court. - Sapa

Thanks for the great class. You will be happy to know that I have already started applying information from this class to our organization. The information about putting together a brochure was very timely for me. We also are setting goals and reviewing our positioning. I learned a lot and printed the material for future use.
If anyone says that the learning experience can't be "fun", I strongly recommend that they take a course with Linda Kissam. Material coverage was excellent, presentation was in an easily understood language and just all around fantastic.
I have learned so much from your lessons. I think the most important thing I learned was I cannot and should not create the marketing plan alone. So my first step will be to organize a Marketing Committee to create the marketing plan we need to move our organization forward. Your step by step lessons will be so helpful in making this Committee successful. I can't wait to get started. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the class. One thing I'm taking with me is the different advertising techniques. There were many listed that I hadn't thought of and even some that were free. They will become very useful. Thank again.
I feel so much more centered on what needs to be done and how to start from square one. I really appreciated the examples of the two makrketing plans. I can copy them today and get started.
This course is very helpful to beginning nonprofit businesess, such as the one I am working on. I hope this course continues to be available. I plan to direct and highly encourage any present and future volunteers, employees, members, etc. to take this course as it can be beneficial for them as well as for my organization.
I have enjoyed this class and learned a great deal. I feel I am now able to sit down with my board and develop a very thorough marketing plan as well as setting reachable goals for our Chamber of Commerce. Thanks to my instructor, Linda Kissam, for a fantastic class.
This was my first online course and I thought it was excellent!
This was a good class. I gained information that will assist me in promoting the nonprofit in my community.
I found this course to be very helpful at just the right time in my career. I saw real benefits from the knowledge I gained before I'd even completed the course.

Making Waves With Shay Dempsey
Monday, 22 September 2008
The ultimate guide to waving your hair. Gone are the poker straight locks of the early noughties, 2008 is more about a relaxed elegance more akin to bed-head than dead straight! We're here today with a guide to perfect waves, no matter what type or length of hair you have.
In a series of hair items, we've been looking at topical hair issues for busy ladies on the go. We've looked at the hot scarlet trend of dying your tresses red, now it's time to get our locks in style with suggestions on waving.
Particularly as most of us can own up to at least one pair of straightening irons, we need to put these expensive and now redundant tools to use once more. Wavy hair is where we're at in '08!
Shay Dempsey- Hairstylist to the stars!
Multi award winning stylist Shay Dempsey has worked across the international hairdressing industry for the past twenty years and has become among the best in the business. With his unique and original style Shay is fast becoming the most sought after of hair professionals. From individual clients, The Ryder Cup, The MTV Awards, numerous fashion shows, right through to creating new looks for next season, Shay's charismatic personality and vision has given him the edge on all his peers.
Shay's clients are and have been the cream of A-list celebrities throughout the world:
Alicia Silverstone, Gabriel Byrne, Kenneth Brannagh, Jerry Hall, Helena Christiansen, Alison Doody, Heidi Klum, Samantha Mumba, Amanda Byron, Brian O'Driscoll, Ronan O'Gara and Padraig Harrington to name but a few!
Shay is proprietor of Zoo hair salon in Dublin's city centre. He's happiest when working saying that his moments of greatness occur " because I love what I do, so whether I'm on a photoshoot or the salon floor, I'm at my best"
Shay has huge admiration for Vidal Sassoon, who he says is "Iconic".
Models:- Roisin, Danni, Dervla
Model 1:- Danni has long straight hair, ideal for making waves.
A very soft, light wave can be created using the ghd IV salon styler which gives volume and movement to any style.
Celeb trendsetter: - Cheryl Cole
Take random, different sized sections of hair, to give a more natural feel to the finished look.
Begin by taking section and, holding sraightener to root of hair, start turning iron in alternate directions to tip of hair. The bigger the distance between turns, the looser the wave.
Finish with styling spray to hold.
Model 2:- Roisin has shorter hair. Many people think that because their hair is shorter, it can't be curled/ waved. Shay will demo how to achieve a wave in shorter hair using a hot styling Wand.
Celeb trendsetter - Katherine Hiegl
Again, taking, random, different sized sections of hair, simply wind section round wand and hold for a few seconds and release. Move on to the next section, the bigger the section, the looser/softer the wave. The wand is ideal for shorter hair as its width is graduated and so different ends can be used for different sections of hair.
Model 3:- Dervla has curly hair. Shay will demonstrate how to take your hair from curly to wavy using a large barrelled curling tongs.
Celebs trendsetter:- Leona Lewis
It is essential to use heat protector product here as hair will be dealing with a lot of heat.
Begin by blast drying your hair, making it as straight as possible.
Hair will be frizzy but, section it off, again in different sized sections to keep it natural. Holding large barrelled tongs to root of section begin to draw tongs down hair slowly, turning gradually as you go. This action will smooth frizzy hair as it gently waves.
Use styling spray to fix in place.
Shay's 3 top tips for creating perfect waves:-
1. Use heat protector spray when using hot styling tools to prevent unnecessary damage.
2. Don't overuse hot styling tools as this will lead to breakage and long term hair damage.
3. Trial and error is key- different strokes for different folks as they say so what works for one person's hair may not work for yours. Decide on the look you want to achieve and choose tool most suited to that look. It's always best to try hair out in advance of a major event so that it's not a disaster on the day.

Luke Evans may have missed our radar in his earlier career, but now that he'll be entering the big screen with the roles of Amaris in 'The Three Musketeers' and Zeus in 'The Immortals,' we cannot help but spread the word.
It's all about the smile with this British hottie. Yes, he's got a nice build; yes, he knows how to handle a sword; yes, he kind of looks like a Greek god. But when this actor spreads that white smile of his, everything around him melts.

TAMPA — Richard Crook says he harbors no ill will toward a drunken driver who left him paralyzed following a hit-and-run accident along Bruce B. Downs Boulevard a month after his wedding.
Crook said Thursday he doesn't want to pass judgment.
"I leave that in your hands," Crook, 51, told Hillsborough Circuit Judge Robert Foster.
Crook was unconscious for more than a month following the Oct. 26 accident. He awoke to find his left leg amputated and that he was paralyzed from the waist down. His hospital bills have climbed to $785,000. He said he has no way to pay them or future medical expenses.
Crook said he recently rolled over in his sleep and broke his right leg — which was brittle from his injuries.
Gerald Selke II, 24, of Tampa has pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of a crash with injuries and driving under the influence with serious bodily injury. Crook, who previously was sentenced to 10 years in prison for burglary and trafficking in stolen property, was bicycling to do community service as part of his probation when he was hit. He has a lawsuit pending against Selke.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Woburn, MA, United States, 2014/08/28 - Four new data centers meet customers data privacy and security concerns - Acronis.com.
Acronis, the global leader in new generation data protection, announced it has opened four new data centers in Asia and Europe in addition to already working datacenters in the US and France. The new data centers, located in in Germany; Japan; Russia and Singapore, bring secure, localized data protection to Asian and European businesses that are concerned about the privacy and security of their data.
Today, businesses feel apprehensive about storing their data in regions far from their own, said Stanislav Protassov, Acronis co-founder and senior VP of engineering and R&D. Following the recent NSA scandal, the concerns associated with storing data have become more pronounced, as businesses and consumers alike look for more local and secure data protection services. Due to these demands, we have made the logical step to open an entire network of data centers in Asia and Europe, giving businesses in those areas exactly what they want the ability to store their data in their own region.
In May 2014, Acronis and research firm IDC conducted a worldwide, cross-industry survey of small and medium-sized businesses (<1,000 employees) concerning their data protection and disaster recovery needs. The survey revealed that the majority (76 percent) of businesses prefer their data to be stored no more than 150 miles from their location. This finding, coupled with concerns resulting from recent data security breaches, highlights the need for data protection solutions offering cloud storage close to home.
Additional Acronis/IDC research findings include:
Asian businesses prefer data in-country, while the US and Europe want it within 150 miles: 50% of SMBs in Singapore and 46% in Japan prefer to have their data stored in-country, while 26% of German SMBs and 25% in the US prefer to have their data stored in a cloud within country. Meanwhile, 48% of German SMBs and 64% of US SMBs prefer to have their data stored in a cloud within 150 miles, while 34% of SMBs in Singapore and 24% of Japanese SMBs have the same preference.
Storing data offsite has become ubiquitous: 94% of respondents say they back up a portion of their data to a remote datacenters.
Cloud is becoming more prevalent: 42% of respondents have at least some of their data in cloud.
Acronis new data centers are held to the same high level of security requirements that Acronis demands of its entire global network of data centers, including in its established centers in the US and France. All Acronis data centers feature a Tier 3 rating by the Uptime Institute, redundant network connections and are powered by multiple sources of electricity. Furthermore, they have been built with hardware from the leading hardware vendors to ensure the highest level of reliability.
The new centers allow Asian and European channel partners and customers deploying any of Acronis cloud services to fully or partially back up their data to the Acronis cloud without compromising security or risking downtime. By storing data close to home, customers attain the geographic security of a localized storage service, latency reduction and the ability to meet the latest regional compliance regulations.
Acronis channel partners and customers in the Asian and European regions now have the ability to store locally data from all of the companys cloud solutions:
Acronis True Image offers consumers reliable image backup and recovery of their entire system email, music, photos, videos, documents, personal settings, bookmarks, and all applications.
Acronis Backup, the companys a disk-based backup and disaster recovery solution for business desktops and laptops, takes a 'snapshot' of the disk using Acronis' patented disk imaging technologies, minimizing impact on end users and eliminating the need to take servers, workstations or laptops offline for a backup.
With Acronis Backup as a Service, channel partners can compete with global cloud companies by delivering to their customers a comprehensive cloud backup and recovery solution.
Acronis Backup Advanced for vCloudis the most comprehensive and powerful multi-tier, multi-tenant backup and DR solution for VMware vCloud Director.

Sarge's Reloading Factory
Back in 1968, and just after Sarge finished his first hitch in the Army, he caught the competition bug. The guys he worked with in his new civilian job had a Wednesday night Trap League. (a shooting sport where a clay disk, called a clay pigeon, was launched by a rotating machine and the competitors would shoot at it in an attempt to break the clay disk into pieces. It was definately a challenging sport as the clay pigeon flew fast and in ettatic angles.
Sarge had no idea what a Trap Shotgun should be as the only shotgun he had ever shot was his Dad's Mossberg 16 ga. bolt action. So when he got a chance to buy a inexpensive single shot 16 ga. shotgun, he grabbed it. After shooting a couple of Wednesday nights he soon found out that the cheapest part of Trap Shooting was buying the shotgun. The shotgun shells soon added up to a princely sum every week as not only was there Team Shoots, Individual Shoots, but team practices too. Most Trap shooters loaded their own shot shells to allow more shooting at less cost.
Back in the days before box stores and malls there were few companies that sold a full line of sporting goods. Guns, ammunition, clothes, reloading supplies, and reloading tools. The biggest and most famous company was Herters of Waseca, Minnesota. And they did it all with a catalog that rivaled the Famous Sears Catalog. How was it the most famous? All you had to do was sit down a hot cup of java and I can guarantee you would soon so engross in the descriptions of items and the bravado of Leonard Herter and his "Herters Perfect reloading tools, guns,hunting clothes and hunting accessories that you would soon find yourself drinking stone cold coffee and wondering how it got that way? Whoever the advertising team was, they figured a way to say "deluxe" at least eight different ways. This catalog should be required reading for every novice Politician. (Maybe it is,how else can they tell us how wonderful their programs will be without running out of adjectives)
So, I was hooked, by the prices at least, not with standing the hyperbole. I dropped my pen, fumbled my check book but finally wrote a check for $10.67 plus shipping. For the next 10 days I was as jumpy as a room full of 12 year olds a week before Christmas. Then Santa Claus in the Brown suit stopped at my house. With my wife leaning against the sink, arms crossed and with that look on her face that universally says "What is he up to now?" I feverishly tore the wrapping off the package. Even though I had seen the picture in the catalog, what lay in the box looked like a pipe with a cap on it and a couple of steel dowelsin separate compartments. But happily there was a sheet of instructions. While twiddling his thumbs in anticipation of his "Herters Most Perfect Shot Shell Loader", Sarge had bought all the supplies, primers, powder, shot, wads etc. that was needed to remanufacture shot shells. His wife was getting curious and began to ask questions as each article was placed on the kitchen table. Thatis until he brought out a pound of Hercules Red Dot Gun Powder.
"GUN POWDER?! She shrilled and disappeared out the back door.
"That worked out well," mused Sarge and now with no interruptions he put the first empty, used shot shell in the "Most Perfecr Shot Shell Loader." Taking his newly purchased decapping tool (hammer) he gave the steel dowel with it's protruding pin a good whack on the top and out popped the used burnt primer. Next the instruction sheet explained how to seat the new primer, with the "Warning" that primers contain a explosive compound and should not be forced, handled roughly or subjected to heat. (the primer is the little round cup like item in the bottom of the shot shells and when the firing pin hits it, it explodes hot fire and sparks into the gun powder contained in the shot shell and causes the powder to burn up instantly) With that warning of dire consequences in his mind, Sarge set the empty 16 ga. shot shell down on top of the live primer and putting the primer punch inside the empty case, gently tapped the punch with the hammer. Picking up the shell the primer was still protruded almost it's entire length. Again "Tap, Tap, Tap", 3rd time, same as above, 4th time, 5th time, still no seated primer.
"Heck!" (or words to that effect) said Sarge and he whacked the punch a good one! (mentally crossing his fingers and hunching his shoulders anticipating the explosion). No BOOM, No Explosion, No shattered hand or windows. Peeking under the shell he saw the primer was nice and flush with the bottom of the shell base.
"WHEEWWWW" Now that was over there was still the explosive powder, (said right on the can) "EXPLOSIVE" HANDLE WITH CARE!" The "Herters MOst Perfect Shot Shell Loader" came with a little plastic dipper and a list of gun powders the user could load. Luckily Hercules Red Dot was on the list. So measure powder, dump it in he case. No explosions that time either) And then the wads (in those days they were card board and they helped seal the hot powder gases behind the lead shot along with some felt ones that coushened the shot and pushed it out the barrel) The wads were pushed in and then another larger dipper graduated in ounces was filled with lead shot and that dumped in on top of the wads. The almost loaded shot shell went back into the tool and another punch went in the top and was smacked down with the hammer. That was supposed to crimp the shell.
The completed shot shell with a crimp that did not look like any crimp Sarge had ever seen before was now loaded.
Now Sarge had loaded his first shot shell, but would it work? How embarrassing it would be to have a box full of duds at the next trap shoot. "I just gotta know for sure" mumbled Sarge to himself, and with that in mind he put the shotgun in the car and took off for the back country roads. Searching for a place to discharge his first round, Sarge spots a tree on the side of the road ahead. It's long limbs hang menacingly over the road. The wind comes up and the branches dip and jump at Sarge, reaching down with thorny spikes to impale him. Sarge quickly loads his new shot shell in the chamber. A shouted warning to the dangerous tree is ignored and Sarge cocks the hammer, touches the trigger and fires. One branch flies into the air and the other cracks and hangs down,...dead...
Sarge removes the smoking shell, tucks it into his pocket and grins ear to ear. NOW HE IS A RELOADER! And there is one less evil, menacing, thorny, locust tree endangering American Citizens.
The end.
Great story Sarge. I love reading them....
A great story and one less evil tree branch. :D
And countless lives were saved because of the actions of this brave man :eek:Nice story Sir
So far I have been very lucky or very dilligent. I have only had one reloading accident since I started reloading back in the 60's. I was loading some 25-06 loads for my heavy barrel varmit rifle that I had made in Gunsmithing School. I had the bullets and powder laid out and the reloading manual on the bench beside me. I turned to set the powder scale and looked back at the manual for the amount. Now I am aware that some powders shoot best with a compressed load. So it didn't surprise me too much when the powder spilled over the top of my case. I just tapped and shook it until the spilled powder could be crowded in. Which is what I had to do with every load.
Later out in the field I set up my shooting spot, with bipod and a piece of canvass to lay on. I saw a two little eyes and a woodchuck head peeking over a dirt mound at me and I sighted in and touched off the trigger. My GOD that rifle had never kicked me like that before. It smacked my nose on the bolt and I was dripping blood. Then I tried to open the bolt. NO WAY. That was it, I packed up all my gear and took it home. There with the help of a lead hammer I managed to get the bolt on my rifle open. The case was just about welded into the chamber and the extractor had pulled through the rim. I managed to get the case out with lots of penetrating oil to help it let loose of the chamber. And I just stared at that piece of brass. The primer hole was just about as big as the case itself and the brass had flowed into the extractor slot of the barrel. I just couldn't believe what had happened. So I got my reloading manual out and checked the load that was listed for that bullet and that cartridge. I wrote that down. Then I pulled all the bullets from the box that were unfired. Every cartridge was overloaded by at least 10 gr. How in the world did I do that, I thought scratching my head. As I set dazed and trying to come up with an answer the page on the reloading manual flipped over one page. And there under the heading of Weatherby .257 Magnum was the exact weight that I had stuffed into my cases. It was for the same bullet and on the page in the same general location.
From now on I check and recheck every load and I lay a bar of lead on my reloading manual to keep it from turning it's own pages. The rifle??? Well I was lucky. I had picked for my project one of the strongest actions available. A Model of 1917 Enfield and part of my training was polishing in the bolt lugs to 100% contact with the barrel lugs. And I bought a heavy varmint size barrel with almost no taper. The stock was made out of a laminated thumb hole blank and I got an A on the whole project. It was a good thing my instructor wasn't grading my reloading because I would have failed that for sure.
Great stuff Sarge. If you think the Herter's catalog was cool, the store in Waseca was amazing. My Dad and I went down there a few times for stuff and you could spend hours looking at all the cool stuff...

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Twitter (TWTR) has been drawing attention by moving closer to $60 a share, but some other big tech names have also been moving higher.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said: "Well, Twitter's great but when you look at long-term investing you've got to say, what company are people going to need five years, 10 years from now? And so for me, when I look at the Nasdaq, I look at names that have underperformed. So one of the ones I was looking at today is Cisco (CSCO), down near $20." Calling Cisco "the railroad of the Internet," Kelly said he thinks this is the time to buy it.
Stuart Frankel's Steve Grasso he's "long on Hewlett-Packard (HP). It's had an incredible move. It's up over 85% year to date." He added that it is not just a traditional PC company but is also a 3-D printing company.
Guy Adami, managing director of stockMONSTER.com and head of Advantage Point, said: "I think the landscape still sets up very well for Micron (MU). I think the stock goes higher from here."
Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management and founder of EmergingMoney.com, said: "Qualcomm (QCOM) was in the news today because they replaced their CEO. A lot of people think this is very good news." But because of the company's dependence on royalties from handsets, Seymour said he would proceed cautiously on Qualcomm.
Both Sprint (S) and T-Mobile (TMUS) surged Friday on a news report from Dow Jones Newswires that Sprint was working toward a bid for T-Mobile. Sprint had no comment on the report, but the panel members certainly did.
Grasso said, "I'm long Sprint and I got long T-Mobile on that news today." He added that both companies have coverage gaps they need to address if they want to compete with AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ). He doesn't see an antitrust problem because combined the companies would still be smaller than AT&T and Verizon.
Adami thinks the play is AT&T, which just raised its dividend modestly.
Noting that the discussion was all speculation, Grasso said Dish Network (DISH) could make the situation interesting if it decided to get into a bidding war for T-Mobile.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Twitter (TWTR) has been drawing attention by moving closer to $60 a share, but some other big tech names have also been moving higher.

- 71 percent report they would have spent less and saved more
- 65 percent report they would have lived within their means
- 60 percent report they would have taken more personal responsibility for managing their money
The current economic climate has curbed many investors' appetites for risk, according to a recent survey released by TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (NYSE: AMTD). When asked what, if any, changes they made to the way they've invested in the markets over the past six months, 34 percent of investors surveyed said they had taken on less risk. That's compared to 22 percent who answered the same just three months ago. Looking ahead to the next three months, 47 percent of investors said their outlook for investing conditions in the U.S. stock market is "optimistic," compared to 66 percent who said the same back in April. As investors pause, they reflect back on the things they wish they would have done differently. If they could go back to a time before the recession of 2008-2009, many investors would have changed the way they managed their money. Specifically:

Going into day four we've seen most of the swimming super stars in action, with the exception of one. Tomorrow in the heats of the men's 100 freestyle it will be our first look at Brazil's Cesar Cielo. Unlike most of the top competitors in the 100 freestyle, Cielo wasn't part of the 4×100 free relay. The Brazilian team failed to make the final and he was not a part of the prelim team. Some say that's a huge error by the coaches, but it could be argued that it's worked out for the best if medals are the end goal. Cesar sat back and watched everyone show their hand while he avoided the draining emotional and physical experience that comes with being part of a marquee race at the Olympics.
James Magnussen is a prime example of the toll that experience can take, and now that he's vulnerable Cielo seems to have improved his odds by not swimming at all. There is, however, a different 20-year-old standing between Cielo and gold in the 100 freestyle. No one is swimming more confidently than Yannick Agnel, but assuming he makes it into the final he'll have swum 7 times including what should be another epic relay in the 800 free tomorrow. In his prelim heat tomorrow, Cielo will be right next to Nathan Adrian who has to be confident after a terrific leadoff leg in the 400 free relay, but I think he'll have to be faster than 47.89 if he is aiming for the top spot on the podium.
So here's what we know going into the heats of the 100 free: We know Magnussen is vulnerable, we know Agnel is on fire, we know there's a few other guys in contention, and we wish that Michael Phelps was part of it. But the 2012 Olympic canvas is clean for the World Record holder. How will Cesar's 2012 story turn out?

Q. I have been hearing that something called CRP may be more important than cholesterol when it comes to heart disease. I don't know much about it. What are normal CRP values?
My doctor says everything's fine and that he does not have time to "chat." But there was an opportunity to have blood work done at my college recently and my CRP was 6.7 mg/L. Isn't that high? Is there any way to lower CRP other than taking Crestor?
A. Recent research showed that the statin-type cholesterol-lowering drug Crestor lowered CRP and reduced cardiovascular events even in people who started with normal cholesterol (New England Journal of Medicine, Nov. 20, 2008). Before this hit the headlines, many people had never heard of CRP or C-reactive protein. This marker of inflammation should ideally be at or below 1, so yours is elevated. Many cardiologists believe that CRP above 2 calls for treatment.
Crestor can lower CRP, but it is expensive and some people experience side effects. You may be able to fight inflammation with exercise and weight loss. Supplements such as fish oil and Coenzyme Q10 may also help. Your doctor should monitor your CRP level to keep track of your progress. We are sending you our new Guide to Cholesterol Control and Heart Health, in which we discuss CRP and offer a list of anti-inflammatory foods and non-drug approaches for heart health.

I want to RELAX on my vacation. Sometimes, I relax by playing video games. Even if I get frustrated, they are usually fun. GTA:SA is not being fun, right now.
I am on the "flying school" missions. I have to complete ten flying tests, which are not fun. They are difficult, and I know that I am not going to need many of the skills they are trying to give me. Meanwhile, all my other available missions are locked off. I can't do more missions for other people until these are done... except for the RC Zero mission with the miniature planes, which also sucks. I finally had to stop playing, because I didn't want to destroy my controller.
I guess it's time to do some coding.
I also found it distrubing that I would go to the virtual gym, but have trouble doing it in real life lately.
Fuck you very much Grand Theft Auto, I beat you in a very real way by going cold turkey and passed your curse on to someone less fortunate! <Insert Evil Laugh Sound [adelphia.net]
I you have a PS/2 I'd suggest Katamari Damacy [perl.org]. Simple controls. Simple yet challenging gameplay. The goals are set fairly low so its hard to get stuck on a mission, let there's lots to do beyond your goal so you can continue along. Best of all, nothing you do can hurt you! Its all just timing.

Nextant Aerospace of Cleveland, Ohio, will hand over the keys to the first of its remanufactured 400XTs at the NBAA 2011 Convention in Las Vegas at 2 p.m. on Monday. The company received supplemental type certificate (STC) approval from the FAA last week for its $3.795 million twinjet, which incorporates new Williams International FJ44-3AP turbofan engines and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics.
Nextant said today that it is developing winglets for the jet that will extend its range 7 to 8 percent beyond the current maximum of 2,050 nm and is evaluating "three to four" other legacy aircraft models for its next refurbishment project. But an announcement on that is at least 12 months off, said Jay Heublein, company vice president .
Nextant currently holds orders from fractional provider Flight Options for forty 400XTs and orders for 12 more aircraft from retail customers. However, since receiving the STC last week, Heublein said customer inquiries had increased substantially. Nextant president James Miller estimates there is a market for between 200 and 250 Beechjet 400A/Hawker 400XP jets for 400XT conversions and that the company will ramp up to three per month by the end of 2013. The modified jet comes with a two-year, 800-hour warranty on the airframe, paint and systems.
Nextant has appointed 10 authorized service centers in the U.S. and Europe. CAE will provide flight training in a level-D simulator.

Following Bussum, Brussels and London, from 1 April 2010, Zanders will also have an office in Zürich, Switzerland. Sander van Tol, the Zanders partner overseeing the opening of the office, is already very enthusiastic.
"Our Swiss office will provide the powerful combination of local treasury expertise and the typical Zanders approach of working from ideas to implementation."
Opening a fourth European office is entirely in line with Zanders' strategy. "We've always had a strong ambition to grow," says Sander van Tol. "We've achieved a lot nationally in the 16 years of our existence.
All treasuries in The Netherlands now definitely know Zanders. It's not such a big world. If you want to do still more, you automatically enter the international circuit. We've been speaking for many years at conferences and congresses in Europe and the United States and frequently provide training sessions there as well. The number of contracts from other countries is increasing too.
'We want to be present in the countries where treasury is practiced at a high level and Switzerland is certainly one of those countries'
Roger Disch (35) comes from Switzerland's German-speaking region and is equally proficient in his country's other national languages. He holds an Executive Masters degree in Corporate Finance (University of Lucerne) and a Bachelor in Economics and Business Administration (University of Applied Science St-Gall).
After almost eight years in management and business consulting, Roger also spent four years with PwC advising corporate clients and banks on the whole treasury value chain, financial and operating risk management as well as corporate-finance related topics.
In his leisure time he enjoys various kinds of sport (tennis, soccer, skiing, cross country skiing and ski touring) as well as cooking.
Roger joins Zanders as responsible managing director for the Zürich office.
Liam Ò Caoimh (33), an Irish citizen, has been living and working in Zürich for five years. He previously spent five years at Bank of Ireland as an FX Dealer before moving to Switzerland where he worked in the European treasury center of Avery Dennison, responsible for risk management.
For the past two years he has worked with PwC's treasury consultancy. He holds a B.Sc. in Finance, Computers and Enterprise from Dublin City University and is currently completing the ACT's MCT program in London. He is married to Yvette and lives just outside Zürich city.
An avid sportsman, Liam plays 'hurling' (Ireland's national game – a cross between field-hockey and rugby), golf, soccer and wants to do another marathon this year.
Sebastian Bodemer (29), originally from Germany, has lived and worked in Zürich for several years. That's good news for Zanders, which plans to serve clients in Austria and Southern Germany from its Zürich office.
He holds a degree in finance from Cooperative State University Karlsruhe and is a certified Financial Risk Manager (GARP). Sebastian has been working as a treasury & financial risk management consultant for six years, advising banks, energy firms and corporates across Europe.
He specialized in asset-liability management as well as measuring and managing liquidity, market and credit risk. Apart from that, he also studies quantitative finance at the University of London.
In his spare time, he enjoys playing the guitar, soccer and reading.
"The major multinationals in particular never confine their reference framework to their national frontiers. They want to know what's happening worldwide in the treasury field. So do we. Indeed, it's something we must know given our status, in my opinion. Our international offices also offer terrific opportunities for the personal development of our staff ."
"We don't want to be a Dutch company with a few international customers, but rather an international company with global clients." Under this banner Zanders took its first cross-border step about five years ago by opening an office in Brussels.
It proved a success: the team in the Belgian capital has grown in size from three to twelve members. Two years ago a branch office followed in London and shortly there will be another in Zürich.
"We want to be present in the countries where treasury is practiced at a high level and Switzerland is certainly one ofexplains Sander van Tol. He points to the leading Swiss companies and other multinationals that – for fiscal reasons – have offices and sometimes head offices in the Alpine country. "There are companies such as Nestlé, Philip Morris International and Ahold. And don't forget international organizations such as the United Nations, the International Committee of the Red Cross and a variety of international associations."
The opportunities for Zanders in Switzerland came into even sharper focus in 2009 when the firm won different pitches in the country within a short space of time. "It's obviously great that we got those contracts, but it immediately increased the need to get to know the Swiss market better. That's definitely a must if you want to cast yourself in the role of specialist," explains Sander.
'First and foremost these men understand the business, they speak the languages and they know the market.'
"We had already set up Project Alps to gain that know-how when we were suddenly approached by three treasury consultants from Zürich: Roger Disch, Liam Ò Caoimh and Sebastian Bodemer (see profiles). It hadn't escaped their attention that our company had secured those jobs from The Netherlands and they asked whether they could work for us as a cooperating trio.
They even renamed their business plan Project Tulip," smiles Sander. "A short time later I was sitting with them at Zürich airport exchanging ideas and it clicked between us. It was apparently meant to be."
Sander van Tol has a great deal of confidence in the three new Zanders consultants who will staff the Swiss office. "First and foremost they understand the business, they speak the languages and they know the market. But they also have the kind of hands-on mentality that we like at Zanders. They are solution-focused, creative and bursting with entrepreneurship.
Now we must make sure that they get the real Zanders identity." For that reason, Sander van Tol will initially spend two days a week in Zürich to supervise the trio intensively and familiarize them with the Zanders working methods, means of communication,
history and customs.
Roger, Liam and Sebastian will also regularly travel to Bussum and will be deployed there alternately in different teams. "It's about finding the right balance between growth and control," says Sander. "It's also important for Zürich to become a solid office. As much as we might want to grow, it has to be done in a controlled way."

Formento & FormentoMay 07, 2014
In the photographic works of husband and wife team Formento & Formento, it's easy to see their inspiration and love for theatrical narratives. Echoing the dramatic lighting of Hithcock, the depictions of solitude by Edward Hopper, and the versatile female roles portrayed by Cindy Sherman, each image is it's own story belonging to each character depicted in the photographs. With their use of derelict backdrops including run down diners, neon signed motels, and remote desert locales, each scene is cinematically sinister. Each photograph seems to show a moment just before or just after a dramatic event where the character is about to make an impacting decision. What has just happened or will happen is left for the viewer to decide. A collection of their work will be exhibited in the Robert Klein Gallery in Boston until June 21.

My wife forwarded me this video of one of my favorite actors, Patrick Stewart ("Jean-Luc Picard" of Star Trek: The Next Generation's fame). Stewart, speaking at an event in Texas, was asked about violence against women. Speaking from his own experience of growing up in a home where a "shell-shocked" father abused his mother, Stewart said:
The people who could do most to improve the situation of so many women and children are, in fact, men. It's in our hands to stop violence toward women.
Amen! My favorite part of the video is his genuine concern for the questioner, earnestly asking, "My dear, are you okay?" He clearly and passionately dispels the myth that women are somehow to blame for the violence they suffer. I applaud Stewart's work on behalf of women and on behalf of veterans who have experienced the trauma of war.
I admired Stewart as one of my favorite Star Trek captains. Now I genuinely admire him more for serving this cause. Here's the video:
Here is Stewart telling his own story at a 2009 Amnesty International meeting. It's emotionally gripping and necessary watching for everyone who cares about women.
Let's pray and work for an end to violence against women and children. It's ours to end, brothers.

Is Producer Rick Rubin the Most Interesting Man in the World? Maybe.
With apologies to the Dos Equis guy, UPROXX nominates Rick Rubin.
If you saw the Jay-Z/Samsung promo that ran during the NBA Finals last night, you saw what appeared to be a bare-footed, aging white hippie with a ZZ Top-esque beard kicking it in a studio with the likes of Pharrell, Timbaland, Swizz Beatz and, of course, Jay-Z. The visual contrast between the men was, well, striking, as the aforementioned aging white hippie dude, let's face it, didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the crew. However, he definitely belonged there: that man was legendary producer Rick Rubin.
I've found myself sort of fascinated with Rubin of late. It started when I saw Dave Grohl's documentary Sound City back in February, a documentary Rubin was featured prominently in. At the time I knew Rick Rubin by name and knew that he was a music producer of significant note, but I didn't know much about him beyond that. (For some random reason, I also knew that he was once in a punk band called The Pricks and got kicked out of CBGB's for getting into a fight with audience members, but that's neither here nor there.)
I did not know, for instance, that the reach of this "guru" extended far beyond hip-hop, which is where he made his name early in career as the co-founder (along with Russell Simmons) of Def Jam records, and had touched virtually every modern genre of music imaginable. I also had no idea what he looked like and didn't really expect him to look like at all an aging white hippie with a ZZ Top-esque beard.

Health experts advise that establishing a solid relationship with your physician is vital to maintaining your health. So I treat my doctor to dinner.
Young, good-looking, and possessed of a dry sense of humor, Dr. B is an excellent date, and I'm not just saying that because he writes me prescriptions for Zantac (the restaurant critic's antacid of choice). When he was taking down my medical history at our first consultation, I discovered something wonderful about him A he's a gourmet. A restaurant-lovin' fool. And (the biggest compliment I can bestow on anyone) a good eater.
Since that momentous meeting, I've had appointments with him by phone (he calls me from the Rascal House while chowing down on a pastrami sandwich) as well as in his office, where we spend most of the visit discussing our latest finds on Miami's ever-evolving restaurant front. As far as doctoring goes, I've never been in better health. In return, I occasionally diagnose a problem of his, such as his insatiable craving for fine French food, which had been brought on by the departure of his favorite haunt, Didier's, from its locale (now occupied by the Austrian eatery Mozart Stube) on Alcazar Avenue in Coral Gables. I also prescribe the treatment: Dinner at the restaurant's larger Ponce de Leon Boulevard reincarnation.
The successful but sometimes lonely Dr. B, who tells me he is actively seeking a wife, felt an immediate affinity for the new Didier's. Dressed like a bride, the restaurant's white stucco ceiling and walls, virginal eyelet draperies over latticed windows, and crisp, bleached linens exude a certain sweet charm, reflecting the management's welcoming attitude and overcoming any loss of intimacy brought on by an increase of 70 seats. Indeed, a family atmosphere pervades, thanks to the three brothers Collognette who run the place -- namesake Didier, host Olivier, and Thierry, whose country cooking has earned him a deserved reputation as one of Miami's most respected chefs.
Our server was friendly, bringing us each a small plate of crudites complemented by a pungent gorgonzola dip, even before bread and water. He described the evening's specials so enthusiastically that we were disappointed when he later informed us that the kitchen had run out of one entree, the loin of venison. He also uncorked a Clos du Bois merlot (the wine list omits vintages; we were presented with a 1991) but didn't pour, leaving it instead on the table to breathe and hustling back to admonish us when we took matters into our own hands.
We shared the snails appetizer, a half-dozen supple mollusks served in individual clay pots. The curled escargots, in bubbling golden butter and potent garlic, were sealed in their compartments with flat rounds of toasted bread. Crab cake with mustard sauce, another hot hors d'oeuvre, was dense with crab meat but overdone and dry with breadcrumbs, shrunken and nearly burnt. A swirl of sticky, honey-darkened dijon mustard was tangy but added scant moisture. A third appetizer, a scoop of warm Long Island duck salad, was hardly better: The multicolored bed of pale endive spears, leafy chopped romaine, and whole radicchio leaves, was fresh and beautiful; the duck was delicate and not at all stringy. But the dressing was flat, making the dish taste of oil and egg, lacking punch.
Pasta at Didier's can be ordered as a large appetizer portion or as a main course. Tempted by more enticing entrees, we sampled angel hair pasta with spinach, wild mushrooms, and pancetta as a first plate. Swirled together and nicely coated with a rich cream sauce, the thin strands of pasta drew just enough musk from the sauteed vegetables and smoky-salty flavor from the ham to offset the sweetness of the cream. The slivers of pancetta, however, were fatty and gristled, the unpleasant chewiness marring what was otherwise a surprisingly tasty dish.
A mound of squid-ink fettuccine alfredo, centered on the plate of sea scallops I ordered as a main course, was unexpected, not having been included in the menu description. The wide, al dente noodles were an odd but well-prepared accompaniment to the outer ring of meaty scallops, which had been touched with sherry but seared just a little too long. A decidedly mediocre flash-fried comfit of leek embraced the shellfish in untidy arms, dominating the dish with its onion-family flavor.
In contrast to the slightly overdone scallops, the swordfish steak, a seasonal special, was a stunning example of good fish cookery. Juicy and fragrant fresh California figs, the cut and colors of which resembled tiny slices of watermelon and the taste of which reminded us of kiwis, garnished a matchless piece of fish. Some of the kitchen's best attention had been directed here, the fish flaking deliciously to the fork. A semicircle of zucchini, carrots, and snow peas added more hues reminiscent of this green growing season, turning the plate into a palette.

Thierry Collongette isn't merely a summer artist; he's also capable of preparing fabulous meats often associated with the spring and winter. Rack of lamb, for instance, may have been our second choice to the venison, but it placed first on our table. Four double chops were encrusted with herbs and a touch of flour and roasted to medium-rare rightness, the centers pink and shiny with juice, the edges browned to an appealing crust. Served with the steamed vegetables and an oozing, creamy, scalloped potato side dish, this plate was almost unfathomably generous.
Likewise, a grilled veal chop, nearly three inches thick and perfectly cooked, was a filling masterpiece. Flambeed with Calvados, the chop was presented with sliced pommes reinettes and topped with chopped chives and sauteed mushrooms. The sweet, meaty apples, combined with the sharp and pungent apple brandy, were a wonderful complement to the succulent veal. In contrast to such richness, the seafood and pasta dishes -- even the expertly prepared swordfish -- paled.
Dessert, however, was competition. A fabulous apple tarte tatin was an open-face delight, featuring cinnamon-scented halves of fruit layered over smooth caramel and a soft, barely resistant pastry crust. Not having had enough cholesterol for one evening, Dr. B ordered his all-time favorite, strawberries in sabayon, a simple sauce composed of eggs, sugar, and wine he likes to make at home (he cooks, he cleans; he's a Jewish doctor up for grabs). The fat ruby berries were an appropriate contrast to the shell-white veil of sabayon, a finale that, we all agreed, would indeed be tasteful at his (eventual) wedding.

Street children, or children who live and/or spend time on the streets, are a vulnerable group of considerable concern to the global public health community. This paper describes the results of two linked qualitative studies conducted with children living or spending time on the street and in orphanages in and around urban areas in the Republic of Georgia between 2005 and 2006. The studies examined perceived causes of children going to the street, as well as indicators of healthy functioning and psychosocial problems among these children. Results on causes indicated a range of "push" factors leading children to the street and "pull" factors that keep children living on the street. Findings also showed a range of internalizing and externalizing mental health symptoms among children on the street and within orphanages. Some differences in responses were found between children living on the street and in institutions. It is important to understand the perspectives of these vulnerable populations to guide decisions on appropriate interventions that address their primary problems.

Senator Lavalle to Co-Chair Task Force on Lyme & Tick-Borne Diseases
Senate Majority Coalition Co-Leaders Dean Skelos and Jeffrey Klein today announced the creation of the Senate Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases to examine state and federal efforts to combat the continued spread of these diseases and make recommendations for a plan to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
The task force will be co-chaired by Senator Kemp Hannon (R-C-I, Garden City), Chairman of the Senate Health Committee, Senator David Carlucci (D, Rockland/Westchester), Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-C-I, Port Jefferson) and Senator Elizabeth Little (R-C-I, Queensbury).
The panel will work on recommendations for a state action plan to address Lyme and other tick-borne diseases modeled after the "2001 West Nile Virus Response Plan." That plan was developed by the New York State Department of Health in response to the West Nile Virus outbreak in 1999, and New York needs a comparable plan to move the state forward in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.
"I have, for many years, worked with the East End towns in my district to seek ways to control ticks and the spread of tick borne diseases, including securing funds for four-poster feeding stations. Tick-borne diseases and, specifically, Lyme disease are debilitating and must be controlled and stopped. I thank Senator Skelos for appointing me to this task force and look forward to getting to work on this issue," Senator LaValle said.
The Centers for Disease Control recently estimated that about 300,000 individuals are diagnosed with Lyme each year nationally. Lyme is the most commonly reported of all tick-borne illness in the United States. There are 13 states that account for almost all of those cases; many of the cases are in New York.
There are also fears that Lyme disease may, in fact, have broader consequences than the symptoms we generally associate with the illness. According to recent news analysis of state Health Department records, over the past 13 years, Lyme disease was listed as the cause of deaths for nine New Yorkers, outside of New York City. Five of the victims lived in the mid-Hudson Valley. Given the number of cases and severe effects that Lyme and other tick-borne diseases can cause, New York must take action.
Other members of the Senate Task Force on Lyme and Tick-borne Diseases include: Senator Mark Grisanti (R, North Buffalo), Senator Kathleen Marchione (R-C, Halfmoon), Senator Greg Ball (R-C-I, Patterson), and Senator Bill Larkin (R-C, Cornwall-on-Hudson).
The task force will explore innovative ways of addressing tick densities, such as the "Four- poster" deer tick program that uses deer feeding stations designed in such a way that the animal must put its neck, where most of the ticks congregate, through two gentle rollers that contain an insecticide to kills ticks. Studies of the four-poster system, including one by Cornell, have shown a remarkable reduction in the tick population.
The Task Force will review research, consult with experts, hear from the public and work with the appropriate State and Federal agencies in developing recommendations for a New York State Action Plan on Lyme and tick-borne diseases which can serve as a comprehensive roadmap for the state to improve diagnosis and treatment to prevent future tragedies.
