WEST (ABP)—At times, citizens of West glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel in their recovery from the April explosion that cratered their Central Texas town and altered their lives.
Slowly, homes are being repaired and rebuilt. Neighbors are coming back together through acts of kindness—large and small.
Recently, Texas boot maker Justin donated 548 pairs of boots to the West Volunteer Fire Department, which in turn gave 300 remaining pairs to First Baptist Church.
Pastor John Crowder put a simple note on Facebook offering the boots to any West resident who needed them.
"And the thing went viral," Crowder said. "We had 64 direct shares … and over 6,000 views."
It didn't stop there, though.
"I got phone calls and emails, and people were hitting me up on Facebook and Twitter, … and in about two hours, we were out."
Two hours to give away 300 pairs of boots, he said, shows just how much need remains in the town where the fertilizer plant explosion killed 15, including a dozen firefighters, and injured hundreds more.
The blast left scores of homes destroyed or damaged so badly they were uninhabitable.
Crowder, whose church has been the hub of recovery efforts, estimates it will take $35 million to get everyone back home. So far, less than $4 million has been collected.
"That makes it very difficult, because we can't give everybody what they need," he said.
West wouldn't even be that far without help from others, he said.
Loving West
In June, the Baptist General Convention of Texas coordinated "Loving West," a weeklong volunteer effort aimed at clearing debris and taking on other tasks to make rebuilding possible. About 650 members of churches from around the state participated.
Recently, Habitat for Humanity committed to build three homes in West, while the Mennonite group Christian Aid Ministries plans 15.
And there are others, but the pressing need continues to be money, which can be donated to West Long-Term Recovery or to First Baptist Church, Crowder said.
"We are going through a very difficult time emotionally, and experts have told us this is the natural course," he said. "That includes a time of anger and depression, and we're just about to come out of that."
Christians should continue to pray for the city, Crowder added.
"Early on, I told how I wasn't sleeping and eating and I was exhausted every day, yet I had the strength to continue," he added. "I think that's because folks were praying for us."

text: I agree. I wouldn't wear a suit with my Alden chukka's. Well, maybe if I had an old shabby linen suit, without tie. Makes sense, Manton. I liked this as an experiment. I might wear it again to the opening of a an art exhibition, or something like that. After this time, I've only worn lighter shirts with it. (It's an old pic.) Can you "handle" chukka's with a suit? Thanks, Stitch. I like to keep it simple.

THE now wound up Hereford Futures (HF) helped Hereford United identify potential development partners for the club's Edgar Street ground.
An HF business plan from 2011 reveals the role of the "arm's length" company set up by Herefordshire Council also played in advising the council over the future for the ground and to lead negotiations with development partners.
The report - confirming a direct link between the council, the club and HF - refers to the ground as "generally in a state of considerable disrepair" with the club constantly facing the challenge of maintenance to a standard required by the Football League and other statutory authorities.
Then, the new owners of the club - David Keyte and Tim Russon - were pitched to the council as "ambitious to realise the club's fullest potential".
That acquisition of the club in 2010 and subsequent buying of debt is said to have "cleared the way" for HF to lead negotiations with the club on the council's behalf over redevelopment.
The report says the club had appointed "professional advisers" with HF supporting the club's work in identifying potential development partners and "suitable uses" for the ground.
As reported by the Hereford Times earlier this year, Herefordshire Council has paid out nearly £3 million in financial support to HF over years.
The council has denied that the sum shows HF as having been "exclusively funded" by the public sector, either directly or indirectly, throughout its existence.
However, the council has conceded the appearance of having "wholly funded" HF since 2012.
HF was set up by the council in 2010 as an "arm's length" company to drive redevelopment in the city.
It was a successor to Edgar Street Grid (Hereford) Ltd.
In May last year, the council confirmed HF was being wound up.
The company – with the council acting as guarantor – was not subject to audit and accountancy obligations that apply to regulated local authority companies, nor was it covered by Freedom of Information regulations.
Figures produced for a council scrutiny report show the council's total contribution to HF from 2004-05 to 2014-15 to be £2,891,556, with a peak annual contribution of £409,405 in 2012-13.
Support over the last financial year is shown as £355,322, reducing to £130,628 in 2014-15.
The council funded a five-figure pension contribution to the chief executive of HF.
In the year ending March 2013, HF made a contribution of £31,392 to chief executive Jonathan Bretherton, compared to £12,667 in the previous financial year.
The council has conceded that as the sole funder, to all intents, of HF since 2012 it had, in effect, funded the payment.
But the payment, the council said, was a decision for HF recommended by the remuneration committee and sanctioned by the HF board.
The council says it was for the HF board to determine how to reward its chief executive, and he had advised officers he exercised a contractual option to waive salary and to take payment as an additional pension contribution instead.
Concerns were raised over any "residual liabilities" in relation to this pension with HF wound up.
Councillors and the council's former chief executive attended HF board meetings, with the council saying that any councillor who attended an HF board meeting would have done so only "in their capacity as a director of the company".
In March, the council effectively ruled out further scrutiny investigations into issues around HF with a tacit acceptance that "things could have been done better."
The council is now under increasing pressure to "come clean" on what it knew about Hereford United's finances ahead of the leases relating to development at Edgar Street being re-assigned five years ago.
As landlord to the ground, the council has ruled out an immediate scrutiny inquiry into the handling of the re-assignment.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Patriots quarterback Tom Brady doesn't like to take a day off, and that's as true for a practice as it is for a preseason game.
Brady, who was in uniform on the sideline, probably wasn't ecstatic when Bill Belichick informed him that he'd miss Thursday's preseason opener against the Jaguars, but the decision makes sense.
The Patriots didn't have a pair of starting offensive linemen, left tackle Matt Light (physically-unable-to-perform list) and right guard Dan Connolly (injured elbow). Without Light, the Patriots turned to rookie left tackle Nate Solder, who is on the field for the first time of his NFL life, and third-string right guard Rich Ohrnberger.
So Belichick's decision likely started there. The Patriots' 2011 fate rests on Brady's shoulders, and there's no need to jeopardize that by trotting him out for a series or two in the preseason opener.
Plus, the Patriots' first practice of training camp happened exactly two weeks before Thursday's game. They've had 15 total practices, and they've only been in full pads seven times, with the last instance Monday.
Brady and the offense haven't exactly been masterful throughout camp, so it's also risky to throw a work in progress onto the field against a live defense that revamped its front seven in the offseason and would like to test its mettle against the Patriots. With so many moving parts on New England's end, it was easy to see why Belichick chose to err on the side of caution.
Of course, the live reps against Jacksonville's defense would have been a good test for a Brady-led offense that needs to measure itself. But with three preseason games left on the docket and four and a half weeks until the regular-season opener in Miami, the Patriots have plenty of time to sort through their issues.
The veteran offense has the luxury of progressing slowly through the preseason. It might not be to Brady's liking, but the decision to keep him on the sideline has a lot of reasonable backing.

Living in the Shadows
Another study of Balay, this time in collaboration with the International Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) has been published. The study looks at the phenomenon of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and armed conflict in NPA areas. You can download the research using the link at the end of this page. Below is a brief description of the research.
In recent years, much of the attention paid to internal displacement in Mindanao has focused on central and Western Mindanao. This displacement is primarily the result of prolonged conflict between Muslim rebels groups – in particular the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) – and the government. The conflict, often described as a contestation between groups of indigenous people, known as the Bangsamoro, and non-native newcomers to the region, has claimed the lives of an estimated 150,000 people in the last four decades and displaced millions. Progress towards a final resolution of this conflict appears on track.
However, no comparable progress has been made towards ending the 46-year old conflict between the government and the New People's Army (NPA) the military wing of the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP). Peace talks continue to be mired by half-hearted efforts on both sides and a perception that neither party is willing to make concessions. The government's security forces and the NPA continue to clash regularly, in particular in Eastern and Northern Mindanao where the conflict exacts a heavy toll on the mainly indigenous civilian population. Unlike the Bangsamoro conflict, the NPA insurgency attracts little attention, despite being one of the longest running conflicts in the world and despite its ongoing impact on the civilian population. This is partly due to the fact that most of the violence and most of the suffering caused to civilians, including regular displacements, take place in remote areas and remain under-reported. The armed conflict is not the only displacement threat indigenous people in Mindanao – commonly referred to as Lumad – are exposed to. Their land and human rights are also under attack as outsiders seek to exploit their abundant natural resources: Mindanao is thought to hold the country's largest reserves of nickel, copper and gold.Resistance to natural resource extraction projects is sometimes met with violence. Many indigenous people are forcibly evicted, particularly those who lack ancestral land titles or other proof of ownership of land and resources. Tension and conflict over land access and management add another dimension to the violence and may be fuelling the armed conflict and increasing NPA recruitments.
Natural disasters, in particular flooding, are another major and frequent cause of displacement in the region. On 4 December 2012, Typhoon Bopha (locally referred to as Pablo) struck Mindanao, forcing close to a million of the 6.2 million people impacted to evacuate their homes. The typhoon's high wind speed and flooding caused extensive damage, with over 235,000 homes destroyed or damaged and further destruction of public infrastructure. The eastern part of the island bore the brunt of the casualties and damage, with indigenous communities particularly affected. As elsewhere in Mindanao, deforestation due to logging, mining, and the extensive cultivation of banana plantations in mountainous areas increased poor communities' vulnerability to flash floods and landslides. Even before their displacement most Lumad people, including former IDPs studied in this report, lived in remote,poor and marginalised areas where the unstable security situation has been hampering development efforts. As a result many Lumad communities struggle to cope with the economic and social consequences of their repeated displacement. They are unable to build up any assets that would sustain them in times of crisis and remain in a constant state of alarm and uncertainty about their futures.
The right of indigenous people not to be displaced from their land is guaranteed by Filipino law, in particular the 1997 Indigenous People Rights Act (IPRA), and also by the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHRIHL), an accord signed by the government and the NPA in 1998. As long as counter-insurgency operations continue to target indigenous communities and IPRA and CARHRIHL are not effectively enforced, these communities will continue to be locked in a cycle of regular displacement to escape conflict and violence.
In this report IDMC aims to assess the impact of multiple displacements caused by the government-NPA conflict on Lumad communities in eastern Mindanao, identify the main obstacles to sustainable return and recovery and make policy recommendations to address these. The study also sought to assess the extent to which communities previously affected by the conflict are more vulnerable to the effects of the disaster as a result of previous loss of assets and physical isolation and socio- economic marginalisation.

Five pristine Roman shipwrecks found
Published on July 24th, 2009 | by Admin1
Five pristine ancient Roman shipwrecks have been discovered off the small Italian island of Ventotene using sonar technology.
The trading vessels, dating from the first century BC to the fifth century AD, lie more than 100 meters underwater and are amongst the deepest wrecks discovered in the Mediterranean in recent years, the researchers said on Thursday.
Part of an archipelago situated halfway between Rome and Naples on Italy's west coast, Ventotene historically served as a place of shelter during rough weather in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
One Response to Five pristine Roman shipwrecks found
Wow, they'll learn a lot from those shipwrecks. I can't wait until they pick through the cargo & tell us what they found.

Framed Art Print
Aerial Perspectiveby Chris Phillips
Choose from a variety of frame styles, colors and sizes to complement your favorite Society6 gallery, or fine art print - made ready to hang. Fine-crafted from solid woods, premium shatterproof acrylic protects the face of the art print, while an acid free dust cover on the back provides a custom finish. All framed art prints include wall hanging hardware.
This design was initially created for a friend of mine who is a photographer and he liked my flying penguin design so he thought it would work well as a shirt design. The concept is simply a flying rooster getting some aerial perspective for his latest pictures.

Kiev – Thousands of English football fans descended on the Ukrainian capital Kiev on Friday ahead of a Euro 2012 match against Sweden, but city officials said supporters of the Three Lions were behaving themselves and there had been no reports of violence.
"We have taken absolutely no additional security steps to deal with the English fans, we are treating this game just like any other Euro match," said Kiev mayor Oleksandr Popov.
"It is my impression after speaking with fan representatives in England that the ones that would visit us are going to be absolutely fine, normal people," he said. "I am quite sure this will be the case."
The Euro 2012 fan zone in Kiev in the hours before the match pitting the English against the Swedes was thronged with thousands of fans of both teams. Many had begun drinking beer well before midday.
"It's just a great holiday and good fun," said Graham Smith, a Leicester factory worker visiting Ukraine for the first time with two of his mates. "Everyone's been friendly, the police, the Ukrainians, the Swedes. No complaints at all."
A holiday atmosphere was prevailing in the fan zone, with some Swedish and English fans drinking or taking photographs together.
Kiev police reportedly positioned extra riot control vehicles near
the Olympic stadium on Friday morning, but Mayor Popov said the measure was precautionary and not connected to the upcoming match.
"That is not something we asked the police to do, in our opinion the situation is wholly peaceful," he said.
Workmen were seen erecting security barriers along streets in the vicinity of the stadium to control crowds and prevent the approach of most vehicles. Similar measures were put into effect for a Monday Ukraine-Sweden match as well.
Police presence throughout the Kiev city centre was moderate, and light in areas frequented by fans.
The English Football Association has cracked down on hooliganism in recent years, blacklisting known troublemakers and preventing them from travelling abroad.
The English fans present in Ukraine said they had been favourably impressed by Euro 2012 tournament preparations. Some complained of distant or outrageously-priced lodging, but many said they had not expected the former Soviet republic to manage service standards common at major football matches in Europe.
"I was expecting much worse, but to be honest everything we need is right here and I have to say the local people are just lovely," said Len Parker, a Derby tax adviser. "And you can't beat the price of beer."
The Ukrainian capital will see an influx of half a million additional tourists during the Euro 2012 championship, Popov said, citing preliminary estimates.– Sapa-dpa

It is highly probable that the 2012 session of the Minnesota Legislature will adjourn before the month of April has ended.
If so, this will mark the first time the Legislature has not adjourned in May for some time.
In today's column, we are going to take a look at some Minnesota legislative history and we will also look at the comprehensive data bases available for perusal on the web.
Three provisions of the constitution regulate the length of the regular session.
• The session is limited to 120 legislative days, as that term is defined by law.
The law defines a legislative day as a day on which either house is called to order—that is, meets in a "floor session" in its chamber in the Capitol.
Legislative committees may meet without consuming a legislative day, as long as neither house meets on the floor that day.
• The Legislature normally must use at least two legislative days each week.
The constitution does not allow either house to adjourn for more than three calendar days (excepting Sunday) without the consent of the other house.
Although the two houses could agree to frequent long adjournments, in practice they do not.
Both routinely comply with the constitutional requirement by scheduling a minimum of two floor sessions each week, even when there is little floor business to conduct.
• The Legislature may not meet in regular session after a specified day in May.
The constitution forbids the Legislature to meet in regular session after the first Monday following the third Saturday in May in any year.
This provision confines regular sessions to the first five months of any year.
If you love to follow state government, one of the first things you should do is bookmark the Minnesota Legislature website.
It is at http://www.leg.state.mn.us/
On the Minnesota Legislature website, you will find links to helpful information for the House and Senate.
Information on other legislative offices includes Revisor of Statutes; Legislative Reference Library; Legislative Auditor and other legislative offices.

Another outstanding legislative website to bookmark is the one on the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library.
Go to http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/
The Reference Library updates biographies in the Minnesota Legislators Past & Present database, as it collects new information about members who have served in the Legislature back to statehood.
Sometimes there are great improvements to the database, like the recent addition of photos for legislators for five earlier sessions, scanned with a grant from the Minnesota Digital Library (MDL).
We added photos for members who served in years close to the two world wars: 1915, 1917, 1919, 1941 and 1943.
MDL grants have funded the addition of legislator photos from nine early sessions in the 1900s.
With the newest round, some early legislators even have more than one photo, including Hannah Kempfer.
She was one of the first four women elected to the Legislature in 1923.
She was also the first woman to serve as honorary House "Speaker of the Day," on Jan. 28, 1925.
Since the photos are included in the MDL Reflections database, many more people will discover the legislator biographies.
The legislator database is a statewide resource, with biographical information on many of the most prominent politicians since statehood.
If looking for trivial information but fun stuff, go to the Library's "House and Senate Seating Charts" page that leads to a substantial archive.
The reference Library website points out the interest in seating charts: Legislators frequently refer to their seatmates on the floor of the House or Senate.
When first elected, a neophyte legislator has built-in tutors in surrounding chairs.
Seatmates can be valuable allies for seasoned legislators.
A 2007 profile of former Sen. Don Betzold, Fridley, in the Legal Ledger noted that he was a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat who could be trusted to toe the party line on key issues.
The Ledger writes: "But that's not the primary reason the last four DFL Senate leaders have made him their seat mate – the person they trust to monitor floor proceedings when they are distracted by other business.
"The primary reason is that Betzold is acutely attuned to detail."
Former Sen. Gene Merriam, Coon Rapids, was a seat mate for many years of former Senate Majority Leader Roger Moe.
Former U.S. Rep. Tim Penny was also a seat mate of Merriam.
Merriam served 22 years in the Senate and is also a former commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources.
Look up Wikipedia's take on Minnesota legislative history.
Minnesota has one of the largest legislatures in the nation: 134 House members and 67 members of the Senate.
Let's read from Wikipedia: "Early on in the state's history, the Legislature had direct control over the city charters that set the groundwork for governments in municipalities across the state.
"In the early period, many laws were written for specific cities.
"The practice was outlawed in 1881, though attempts were still made.

Asheville, N.C. — "Downton Abbey" fans should consider a trip to the Biltmore next month. The sprawling Asheville estate will host the exhibit "Dressing Downton: Changing Fashion for Changing Times" from Feb. 5 - May 25.
The exhibit will feature more than 40 costumes from the popular PBS series in groupings throughout the Biltmore. The costumes, some inspired by old photographs, were created by renowned London costume house Cosprop Ltd. Some outfits are original pieces from the time period.
The exhibit will allow the house to delve further into its own history. New stories will be shared about George Vanderbilt, his wife Edith, and their daughter Cornelia, who lived in the 250-room Biltmore House.
The Vanderbilts' home bears striking visual resemblance Highclere Castle, where the show is set, Biltmore's Director of Museum Services Ellen Rickman said.
"The day-to-day running of the house was surprisingly similar to that of Downton Abbey," Rickman said. "Just like Downton has Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes, Biltmore had its own cast of fascinating characters. Displaying these fabulous costumes from the show gives us an unparalleled opportunity to delve into Biltmore's stories."
The exhibition is included in the regular ticket price for Biltmore Estate admission.

People on Papua New Guinea's remote Manam Island and Madang Province are rebuilding after a disastrous volcanic eruption thanks to better banking solutions.
Manam Island, Papua New Guinea - Following devastating volcanic eruptions in October 2004 on remote Manam Island, and the subsequent complete evacuation to the mainland of the island's 10,000 inhabitants, many of the islanders including the Baliau people have returned home and are trying to rebuild their lives.
Remnants of the eruptions are clearly visible in the threatening brown and infertile lava plains that mar the island. What cash-generating crop could possibly be grown here? What product produced? Peter Muriki thinks he's got the answer. "Devastated as it is, Manam can still sell copra, some cocoa and fish as a means of survival," said Muriki.
A Manam Islander himself, Muriki is also the executive director of the Bogia Cooperative Society (BCS) which has been canvassing for community saving schemes in isolated and rural places like Manam. BCS calls these saving groups community development centers (CDCs).
In houses made of woven coconut leaves, with support from BCS, men and women from Baliau village formed themselves into cash saving groups. In July 2010, there were five groups altogether, each comprising 70 to 100 members.
"At the end of each week, or 2 weeks, or 1 month, members will come together in their respective groups to deposit their savings with the group's teller," explained Michael Rupunae, a member of the savings scheme on Manam Island. "It will then be the teller's job to deposit the savings with the bank at Madang on the mainland."
Rupunae makes it sound simple, but banking at Madang town requires an hour of open boat travel from Manam Island to Bogia on what is usually a rough sea channel. Then the teller will take a 3-hour mini-bus ride to Madang, 200 kilometers of road that used to be paved but is now dotted with pot holes.
According to Rupunae, it is worth it. "No more should we rely on others," he said. "This is one way we can help ourselves."
Enterprise and Employment
Twelve months since BCS received financial assistance from the ADB and AusAID-supported Microfinance and Employment Project, it has been able to establish 52 CDCs with over 5,000 members across the province of Madang. BCS trainers traveled to rural communities to provide advice on saving, budgeting, debt management and microfinance services. Over 2,000 people underwent financial literacy training - organized by Muriki and funded and supported by the project - to help them make more informed banking choices.
Soon after their financial literacy training, Manam Islanders went into saving mode. All five CDCs from Baliau saved between Kina (K) 10,000 to K20,000 (about US$3700-US$7400) by July 2010.
Rupunae and his members admit that finding money to save was a struggle. "It is hard to save here on the island, but after what we have gone through over the past 5 or 6 years, we know that this savings scheme could offer us some economic independence," said Rupunae.
The development of good financial services is a key component of the Government of Papua New Guinea's medium-term strategic framework.The strategy emphasizes the importance of financial services for economic and social development in the country, and recognizes the need to improve access to financial services particularly in rural areas.
"Better access to financial services will assist the poor to create microenterprises and generate broad-based income," says Eugenue Zhukov, regional director of ADB's office in Australia. "This will lead to new employment opportunities, a key development objective of PNG."
Creative Credit
However, saving is only part of the solution. "Very limited access to credit continues to be a serious impediment to private sector development and sustainable growth in PNG," says Eugenue Zhukov.
BCS is planning to make the transition from savings to lending, according to Muriki. "We would really like to get into microloans. Some people are giving up savings because they are not seeing the other side of microfinance." The next step will be finding a lending partner, or, failing that, going into lending on its own.
Muriki is already working out some ideas on how this could be done. "These are some ideas we are working on, activities in which a bank, or anyone else, can start something and then let people run it," he said.
Savers on Manam agree that lending would help boost their economic revival. "Cash flow is our biggest challenge," says Andrew Roana, chairman of one of five CDCs in Baliau village on Manam Island. "Sometimes our copra buyer runs out of cash, and with the high cost of the dinghy (open boat), there's no way we could afford to ship our produce to the mainland."
Roana's CDC wants to go into small business enterprises once their savings could sustain microloans. Topping their list of potential activities are to start small poultry farms and piggeries and buy a dinghy of their own.
Once they are able to take out loans, other CDCs on the island are considering income generating ideas like running a small guesthouse, acquiring fishing gear, or starting a second-hand clothing outlet on the island.
Once the Bogia Cooperative Society moves from savings to lending, the opportunity private enterprise offers to economically-deprived areas like Manam Island could be substantial. Managed well, it could even lead to a small economic revolution in the development of small but viable cottage industries in Madang's rural and remote communities.Stay up to date Subscribe to our newsletter and get the latest issues, news, events, jobs and data in your e-mail inbox.

Silver Alert canceled for missing Dunn woman
Posted March 15, 2013
Dunn, N.C. — Dunn police suspended their search Friday evening for a missing 50-year-old woman.
Felicita Perez was reported missing from a gas station on Cumberland Street Friday afternoon, but the North Carolina Center for Missing Persons canceled its Silver Alert for her about 8:30 p.m.
It wasn't clear why the alert was canceled.
Developed in 2007, Silver Alert is a system to quickly notify the public about missing endangered adults who suffer from dementia or other cognitive impairments, such as Alzheimer's disease.
It also allows caregivers and nursing homes to report a person missing. In the past, only a family member could report an adult missing.

Downtown Life's a Beach
Why not build a sandy riverfront beach in downtown Windsor?
It was one of the crazy "next big thing" suggestions then-Windsor West MPP and cabinet minister Sandra Pupatello threw out at a luncheon gathering of hundreds of local civic and business leaders in June, on the eve of her surprise announcement that she was leaving behind her years of jet-setting power politics.
Absurd, many in the crowd of mucky-mucks no doubt thought. The Warrior Princess nevertheless got a standing ovation.
Five months later, what do we have?
A downtown beach!
As the riverfront trail was reopened to through-traffic last week for the first time in two years, lo and behold, comes the discovery of a football-field-sized beach. That Sandra could sure deliver! Or else the 16 years of Queen's Park water clearly turned her clairvoyant.
It's not a sandy beach, but strewn with smooth stones, similar in appearance to such French beaches as Dieppe or Nice.
And I wouldn't recommend taking the kids there for a summer swim … the strong Detroit River current would have them quickly transported to Amherstburg.
But it's a beach in the core, something not there before, something to tell people this city has more.
In her trademark 1,000-watt style, Sandra urged Windsorites to have big ideas and then act on them for the betterment of Windsor. She lamented the rejection of the "fabulous idea" of a downtown canal, but said Windsor could draw attention if the entire city went Wi-Fi or if the city, due to its great Great Lakes location, turned itself into a water capital.
At least one of Sandra's big ideas struck me as perhaps a little too big or dreamy — why doesn't Windsor consider pursuing its own NHL team?
Let's hear your big ideas.

Dean Johnson Signs Committee of Bar Examiners' Brief in Undocumented Immigrant's Bar Admission Case
Dean Kevin R. Johnson was among the attorneys representing the Committee of Bar Examiners in the case of Sergio Garcia, an undocumented immigrant who has applied for a license to practice law in California. Also on the brief were Professor Emeritus Bill Ong Hing and attorneys from the State Bar of California and the law firms of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Minami Tamaki LLP.
Garcia, who was brought to the United States by his undocumented immigrant parents when he was 17 months old, has earned a law degree and passed the California State Bar Examination and moral character check. His application was certified to the California Supreme Court for review. The Court issued an order asking for clarification of several issues related to the practice of law by undocumented immigrants. The Committee of Bar Examiners' brief argues that state and federal laws permit Sergio Garcia to be licensed as an attorney in California.
Kevin R. Johnson is Dean and Mabie-Apallas Professor of Public Interest Law and Chicana/o studies at UC Davis School of Law. He is an internationally recognized scholar in the fields of immigration law and policy, refugee law, and civil rights.

With one more tense political day setting for dusk, political circuits are getting heated with interesting updates, making Congress seniors feel the heat. The big discussion is about the first Chief Minister of Telangana state once the Cabinet approves the formation of Telangana no sooner.
Political observers from Delhi are saying that KCR has already sent his terms and conditions regarding merger of TRS into Congress party. KCR has promised earlier that he will make a Dalit person as CM of Telangana, if at all TRS clean sweeps the election in 2014. But now he wants Congress to take front seat and make his son as CM of new state. KCR wants his son, Sircilla MLA K T Ramarao to become the first CM of Telangana such that power will vest with KCR family even after the merger.
And anyway, Congress will win with thumping majority in 2014 in Telangana region and KCR will enjoy fruits for a while like the way Chiru is enjoying after merging PRP into Congress.

We highly recommend it if you're installing your own Ford Galaxie top.
- Shop with confidence: 5 year manufacturer warranty.
- Hydraulic Components: Hydraulic cylinders, motor pumps and hose sets all available and in stock.
Preview our Convertible Top Installation Guide
Our Ford Galaxie tops are made using patterns taken from original dealer tops. The vinyl is Haartz pinpoint vinyl which is identical to the original topping. Haartz Stayfast canvas tops are also available. You can read detailed fabric descriptions via the 'Help' link at the top of this page.
We can provide Galaxie tops with either a plastic or a glass rear window.
You can read how this classic two part top installs via the link below. This link is to a summary of our top installation manual. The full manual is listed with accessories, and is included with our top restoration packages.
About half our customers perform their own installation. Confidence with a staple gun or tack hammer and the use of contact cement are required. There is no sewing.
Hold Down Cables:
A cable is threaded through the side hem of the top on each side. The cables hold the top to the top frame in the front and in the rear. Cables are not visible after installation. We recommend changing cables with each new top.
Tack Strips:
Tacking strips are embedded in the header bow and the rear top bow. They receive the installation staples or tacks. Tack strips should last through at least two tops.
Pads build out the top from underneath. The padding can last through two tops.
The boot is an optional storage bag which covers the top when it is lowered. A boot is generally selected in one of the modern leather grained boot vinyl colors.
Please select a boot fabric from the link to the swatches. You can specify it in the checkout message box.
Well Liners:
The rear well lining is available configured to original shape. A well liner can last through several tops.
Main Top and Curtain Available Separately:
The "curtain" is the trade name for the rear window section. The main top is the rest of the top. (Read the installation link below for further information.) The main top and the curtain are available separately in the event that one is damaged while the other section on your car is in good condition.
If you desire a complete top, and you are not ordering a full restoration package, then you should order the main top and either the glass or the plastic rear window section.
We now stock hydraulic cylinders, motor-pumps, and hoses for your convertible tops. All are made to OEM specifications. Each can be ordered separately; however, when ordering hydraulic cylinders we recommend replacing both. The chances are that both hydraulic cylinders were manufactured at the same time: if one is on its way out the other may follow. If the top is raised and one hydraulic cylinder is working harder than the other the result over time can lead to a slightly bent convertible top frame. The replacement of both hydraulic cylinders will ensure that the top raises and lowers symmetrically.
Systems for this car take Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) and have a 5 year warranty when used with this fluid. Brake fluid should not be used as it voids the warranty. We also offer an installation manual when ordered.
The 12 volt motor-pumps include a mounting bracket with rubber grommets to reduce vibration.
We also offer a rebuilding service for motor-pumps. Not all are repairable, but it is less expensive to have one rebuilt than to buy a new one. The motor-pump would need to be sent to us for evaluation. Hoses come with all new fittings and are made specifically to fit your car.
Parts in this category (Ford Galaxie) fit cars for years: 1965 and 1966.
We a now pleased to offer hydraulic cylinders, hydraulic motor pumps, and hydraulic hose sets for many different convertibles, they will be listed on your cars page if available. Also, checkout our newly added roof rail weatherstripping seals, front header weatherstripping seals, door weatherstripping seals, trunk weatherstripping seals. Look for extra savings on weatherstripping seals kits.
We are continuing to grow our convertible related products: These include convertible top latches, tonneau covers, relays, switches, rear tacking rails (trimsticks), seat covers, car covers, and carpeting.

Is Botox Right For Me and My Migraine?
*Treatment results may vary
Ever wonder if the wrinkle-eraser will also work for pain?
Those who suffer from chronic migraines know that staving off headache pain is no small project. Pain prevention often involves a process of trial-and-error to settle on the right mix of medication and lifestyle change (like less stress and more sleep). And even with those things in place, there's still no guarantee that you'll be 100% headache free. Migraines are notoriously tricky to treat.
But, this is where Botox comes into the picture. It's FDA-approved for prevention of chronic migraine, and many insurance carriers cover it if other migraine meds aren't working.
So, we wanted to drill down and get a few facts straight before you submit to those injections. How does Botox work to prevent pain? Exactly how does it stack up against other migraine meds? And, since it's an extra added bonus, will it do anything for the worry lines snaking across your forehead?
Read on for more insight into this migraine-mitigating injectable:
How did physicians find that Botox could assist your aging (and aching) head?
A "serendipitous discovery" was made in the 1990s when LA-based cosmetic surgeon, Dr. William Binder, started noticing patients who de-wrinkled with Botox were also walking away with less headache pain. Botox was officially FDA-approved for chronic migraine (i.e., headaches that occur more than 15 days monthly) in 2010.
"Who would have thought that it turned out to be our best migraine prevention treatment with probably the least amount of side effects and the highest rate of effectiveness?" says Chicago-based headache expert Dr. Larry Robbins,"It works in about 60% of people -- which doesn't sound great, but in comparison to other headache drugs, it's twice as effective."
"After the FDA approval of Botox for chronic migraine in 2010, I went from treating three patients a year to three patients a day," adds Dr. Emily Rubenstein Engel, Associate Director of the Dalessio Headache Center at Scripps in San Diego. "It's really a great treatment."
What is Botox and is it safe?
Botox is made from a toxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. It's the same toxin that causes botulism, a rare food borne illness that causes paralysis. The drug works by dampening signals from the nerves to the muscles – so the injected muscle relaxes and is unable to contract.
"If you had a can of peas and left it out in the heat and botulinum toxin accumulated in the can for a few days – it would be 25,000 stronger that what Botox is. It's the same toxin – but it's an incredibly tiny amount of the toxin. Used in low doses – it's generally safe," says Dr. Robbins.
But, for those who feel that injecting a paralyzing toxin directly into your forehead still doesn't sound exactly, well, risk-free...Dr. Robbins further elaborates that, "The negative side effects of Botox [a purified and diluted form of botulinum toxin A] have been extremely tiny and much lower than any of the medications that are usually used for headache."
So, what about those side effects?
Now that we've hit highlights, what are the downsides? Likely, it's a bit of bleeding or bruising around the injection site. Occasionally, consequences such as droopy eyelid or other facial weakness can occur, sometimes due to incorrectly placed injections, but this is always reversible and wears off within a couple of months.
This (fairly) spotless side effect profile also explains why 5 million people worldwide have used Botox for migraine in the last 16 years. Especially if you consider the slew of side effects that may occur with commonly used migraine medications, see below for a more detailed comparison.
Says Dr. Engel, "Botox serves as a terrific preventative medication for migraines without having systemic side effects, and it's shown to be safe. As far as has been documented, there's never been a serious outcome from Botox in all the people who have gotten it for migraine or cosmetic use. This is reassuring in comparison to the other preventive headache meds which not infrequently, have at least minor side effects – and occasionally, severe side effects."
Exactly how does Botox work for migraines?
Many theories abound in regards to how Botox vanquishes migraine misery -– but it's thought the "muscle relaxing" benefit is only a minor player. The leading hypothesis is that Botox quiets down chemicals that cause inflammation and migraine pain – although researchers are still trying to pin down precisely how this works.
Says Dr. Engel, "They did an interesting study where they pre-treated with Botox on one side of the forehead – and not on the other. Then, they gave the patients capsaicin injections, a chemical extracted from peppers which can cause skin inflammation.
And, what they found was really significant — patients only got wheals (or red bumps) on the side that was not treated with Botox. This may be further proof that Botox can inhibit inflammation and the chemicals that cause pain."
What is the procedure like?
First off, you need a formal diagnosis of chronic migraine (more than 15 migraines a month) from a neurologist or headache specialist. And, if you want your insurance to cover the treatment – you have to have already tried and "failed" two to three migraine-preventing drugs like Elavil (amitriptyline), Topamax (topiramate), Inderal (propanolol) or Depakote (valproic acid).
"Failing" means that your headaches are still sidelining you on Saturdays or you can't tolerate the medication's side effects (e.g., Topamax is causing cognitive problems, anxiety or intolerable tingling in your hands and feet).
So, an "F" on your medication scorecard means you're a likely candidate for the FDA–approved protocol for Botox -- which is a series of 31 injections (which are speedy and might sting a little) in the forehead, temples, back of the head, neck and shoulders.
What sort of result should I expect?
Dr. Engel says it may take up to two weeks to kick in, although some patients may notice a difference after a few days. "Overall, it has a cumulative effect," she says, "with each treatment patients do better but it tends to wear off around three months."
And, what happens when you're due for you next dose? "Expect to see a re-emergence of more frequent headaches," says Dr. Engel, "It tends to be a consistent pattern where many patients get wear off before their next dosage – so some insurance companies are allowing us to reinject at 10 weeks instead of 12."
All that said, Dr. Robbins (who has injected Botox over 6,000 times in an estimated 1,600 patients) cautions that there's a chance a patient will respond beautifully to Botox-- but then the drug will loose its steam.
"In 60% of people who respond really well to the drug— about 20% of the time the drug will stop working. So, we'll do something else for awhile and often come back to the Botox."
Will I see any cosmetic benefit?
Although your neurologist's intention is not to erase evidence of sunscreen-free summers (and migraine injection sites are not chosen for aesthetic effect) – you still may see some forehead smoothing and the disappearance of those angry 11's between your eyebrows.
Conversely, Dr. Robbins often has headache patients who do not want any hint of cosmetic effect -- "Some people do not want to look "Botoxed" or artificial in any way, so we just avoid the forehead completely," he says.
Can I go to a plastic surgeon to get this done?
Despite the fact is nothing inherently wrong about a trained physician (i.e., a plastic surgeon) injecting Botox for headache – Robbins says, overall, it's probably better to see a headache specialist or neurologist for your Botox and migraine management.
"Botox is really only 10% of what we deal with in treating headache patients – just because a patient is on Botox doesn't mean they don't need [another drug] for daily prevention of migraines. There's also the non-medical aspect of treatment like lifestyle changes [like decreasing stress, eating healthy, getting exercise like yoga] that we talk about. It helps to see someone who deals with that all day long."
"The expectation of Botox is not that it will make your migraines go away – but that it will decrease your headache days from twenty to two. You still need someone with experience in migraine to help you with the occasional headache and to monitor your progress," says Dr. Engel.

Streaming Audio
Buy Now...
Several manufacturers have come up with a variety of solutions that give the user the ability to open up the audio output to a wider audience. In some cases the solution is device specific with the iPod being the clear favourite, but there are some solutions that cover the whole range. Falling into this agnostic category is the i2i Stream product from Aerielle Inc., a Mountain View, CA based company with offices in Hong Kong.
Basically this product allows you to stream and receive audio content from your music player using wireless signals over a range of up to 30 feet. The kit consists of two Stream units plus various accessories. You get two 12-inch audio cables, two 28-inch audio cables, two USB charging cables, two pocket clips, two neck lanyards and a concertina-style User Guide.
The Stream units are wireless digital devices that can broadcast and receive audio data on the 2.4GHz frequency. Predominately black in colour and small in size (63 x 32 x17mm), the Stream draws its power from a built-in battery that can give up to seven hours of use from a single charge. The initial charge takes between five and seven hours with a flashing red LED that indicates when charging is taking place. Charging can be carried out via the supplied USB lead when connected to a computer or mains if you possess an appropriate adapter plug – this latter method does help reduce the recharging time.
One of the Stream devices needs to be connected to an audio player that has a 3.5mm jack output socket – generally available for headphone connection. For this purpose you have the choice of the 12 or 28-inch audio cable depending upon which is the most suitable. The input connection on the Stream device is located on the base of the unit. An output socket for attaching headphones is positioned on top of the unit next to the on/off volume level switch. Decorating the front of each Stream unit are buttons to send and receive data separated by a large channel selector button.
There is support for seven different frequencies and these are colour coded to help with identification. The colours used are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, cyan and purple. By setting both the send and receive units to the same coloured channel, the audio signal will then be transmitted. The unit chosen for receiving could be attached to an external speaker system or personal headphones. You also have the option to attach headphones to the first stream unit.
In my tests the 30 feet limit was definitely the maximum range with signal transmission beginning to break up as you approached this limit especially if walls or other obstructions got in the way. However keeping below this figure (I would suggest 25 feet or less) would ensure a good clear signal. The use of the provided lanyard and pocket clip accessories does give a choice of how to wear these devices if you intend to move around. My preference was for the pocket clip.
According to Aerielle you can connect as many Stream devices as you like (or budget allows) without any audio quality degradation. However my tests were limited to the two units that form the standard package which is priced as £68.51. The i2i Stream device is expected to be the first in line of planned accessories for the iPod and MP3 players. I look forward to seeing what the company offers next.

Fall 2010 Magazine
Reverend Leo
Sometimes a guy just can't catch a break. Leo is a beautiful brindle-colored pit bull mix who had a difficult time finding a permanent home. In June, a volunteer at Animal Humane New Mexico (AHANM) sent out a plea for his adoption. He'd been at AHANM since December 2009 and he needed a home soon. He'd been adopted twice and each time he came back through no fault of his own.
The first adopter brought him back because he was too high energy for her to handle. The second adoption seemed perfect. Leo was happy and his people were happy. Then the neighbor took a dislike to Leo and threatened to shoot him and his people if he stayed. With great sadness they returned him to AHANM, too.
While he was at the shelter, the staff worked with him. Susan Reaber, the AHANM Behavior Specialist, said, "He really caught the hearts of the staff and volunteers here because he was such a great, friendly dog. He is very sweet with high energy."
One of the veterinarians noticed Leo became reactive to skateboards. "One of the staff brought in a skateboard and we used it to train Leo to relax around skateboards," Reaber said. "We use the clicker training method. We worked with him every day and made a lot of good associations between the skateboard and his treats. After he started feeling comfortable with the board, he began putting his feet on it. With clicker training, we reinforced any behavior Leo did pushing the skateboard. It got to the point where he had three legs on the board and was pushing with the fourth foot."
Leo was on television with the AHANM volunteers and trainers. "We wanted to showcase what we do with dogs who need a little extra attention," Reaber said.
Bill Hutchison and Mary Martin from the Santa Fe Humane Society and Animal Shelter (SFHSAS), were giving a class at AHANM. Brandon, the kennel tech who was fostering Leo, was in their training class. He told them Leo's story and mentioned someone was interested in adopting Leo. "We promised Brandon if Leo didn't get adopted, we would take him and commit to finding him a home. For this one special skateboarding dog, there's a bright future," Hutchison said.
Meanwhile Sam Tri, a medical resident at UNM as a family practice doctor, was meeting with Leo. "My girlfriend, Erin FitzGerald, was in medical school in Maine. We knew we wanted to adopt a dog but we were going to wait until she got here. She started looking at the AHANM website and found the picture and bio of a dog called Leo. She was pretty insistent that I meet him. I had to go to several shelters to find him since he was being protected by the Enchantmutts organization," Tri said.
Tri met Leo at a park with two volunteers from Enchantmutts. "He warmed up to me right away and I had a great feeling about him. I knew Erin would, too," Tri said.
Leo met FitzGerald at the airport. "He seemed so excited to meet me. He was wagging, shaking and kissing me in the car. Later I learned he is really excited to meet most everybody," FitzGerald said.
"I knew he was the one for us. We made it a point to create our lives in Albuquerque around the idea of having a dog. We only looked at rental houses that would allow pets and that had big, fenced yards. After a hike in the Sandias, we went straight to AHA to seal the deal and officially become Leo's parents," FitzGerald said.
"Leo is very calm inside and simply wants to be where we are." Tri said. "He loves going for walks and really enjoys hiking. He has an old dog bed we deemed "the girlfriend" because he likes to drag her around the house and yard. We discovered he loves swimming, too. But mostly Leo loves to be loved and needed," FitzGerald added.
Leo's days are filled with walks, an occasional run with Tri or exploring and hiking with both his people. "Leo is an extremely affectionate dog. He's playful when we're playful and calm when we're calm. He loves to be petted, hugged, brushed and touched. He is a patient dog but he makes us laugh every day. There is something so comforting about coming home after long days at the hospital to find Leo so incredibly happy to see us," FitzGerald said.
One thing has changed. Leo has become Reverend Leo. "We thought Leo was a small name for a big personality but he really responded to that name. For our distinguished pup we added a distinguished title: Reverend Leo. I think that it really suits him," FitzGerald said. "We are so thankful for the persistence of the kind volunteers of Enchantmutts and AHANM for keeping Reverend Leo safe for so long and for making it easy for us to become his parents."
Hopefully all the dogs waiting at the shelters for people to love and a permanent home will find the same happy ending Reverend Leo did.

Both AB 131 by Assemblymember Das Williams (D-Santa Barbara) and SB 111 Senator Jim Beall (D-San Jose) seeking to make it easier for citizens to vote have cleared both houses and are headed to the governor's office to be signed.
AB 131 authorizes county officials to deem affidavits of registration to be complete even if the affidavit does not contain a place of birth. CTA supports the bill because the voter registration process should be open and encourage as many citizens as possible to register to vote.
SB 111 authorizes certain registered voters to use a signature stamp if the voter submits an affidavit or registration electronically utilizing a signature stamp that has been approved by the Dept. of Motor Vehicles and transmitted to the Secretary of State. Educators believe the voting process is an important freedom, should be easy, and accommodate the needs of voters.

I have been using Ubuntu exclusively now for almost two months. On August 31, 2007, a kernel update for the standard 2.6.20-16-generic Ubuntu version was migrated from version 29 to 31. The kernel update included several bug fixes and minor changes, a side-effect of which has caused major problems for users. For many, the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) sub-system completely stopped working after this update was applied. This meant not only no sound, but also many of the tools that require sound system to play their multi-media, for example, did not function either.
It took me several days to find the workaround for version 31. The immediate remedy was to boot into the older 2.6.20-15-generic kernel, which comes with Ubuntu as a type of failsafe backup. It's available via the GRUB loader at boot-time by selecting the down-arrow a couple times and pressing enter. The 2.6.20-15 version of the kernel still worked with the sound. However, I use a proprietary NVIDIA driver (which is one that doesn't come with Ubuntu), and it requires a specific compile with the current kernel version. As such, when I would revert to this older 15 kernel, my NVIDIA driver wouldn't work. I had to set it up to use the built-in Ubuntu driver, but that one has many fewer features, such as the lack of screen rotation. I prefer my 1920 x 1200 video mode to be rotated 90 degrees for a 1200 x 1920 page-like view. It makes reading PDFs and Web pages much more robust.
In any event, the solution was finally found. The latest ALSA source code had to be downloaded, recompiled against the new kernel, and then installed. Once that was done, the sound system was back up and everything's working like normal.
Everyone should be fully aware of what they're doing when they upgrade their system in Ubuntu. While I have seen dozens of upgrades come through without issue, this particular upgrade caused me a major problem for four days. I ended up posting a message on the Ubuntu forums, which was then echoed into the Ubuntu bug tracker system, and the solution was finally found. You can read about it on the Ubuntu forums.
Moving to Ubuntu was the best thing I've done for my PC. I have not had a single notable issue since I started, except for this one. And had I known a little more about Linux, it also would not have been an issue. But as it was, and as is true with so many things in Linux, a small lack of knowledge can often require many days to find the solution. In my case, I tried many things, but nothing worked. Only through the Ubuntu community posting on the Ubuntu forums, and through the knowledge someone else had already gained regarding this type of issue, was the problem found.
The Ubuntu community is what makes this Linux distribution so desirable. I will not be turning back from Ubuntu despite this several day annoyance of having no sound. It is a small price to pay for all I have gained, and one that will not affect me again, because the more I learn about Linux, the more distance I put between myself and Redmond, Washington.

Forget about Hermes for a minute. LVMH just a bought a company whose family actually wanted to sell.
The French conglomerate has acquired a 51% stake in Bulgari SpA, whose founding family owned a majority of the firm's shares up until yesterday. That stake translates to about $3.4 billion. While this gives the family less control over what happens at the company, they have gained two seats on the LVMH board of directors. What's more, Bulgari's CEO, Francesco Trapani, will take over management of LVMH's entire jewelry and watch division in the second half of 2011.
"The alliance between my Group and the Bulgari Family is a perfect combination from all points of view as we share the same culture in terms of respect for identity and roots of the brands, quest for excellence, creativity and innovation," said LVMH head Bernard Arnault in a statement. "As is the case with LVMH, the Bulgari Family shareholders are directly involved in managing the company, they are entrepreneurs that know and excel in all aspects of the business, from the creation of the product to after sales service. It is for these reasons that we immediately understood each other and agreed on the way we would work together. I am certain that our partnership will be greatly beneficial to Bulgari as well as to the LVMH Group."

Spain gets first glimpse of PM's goth daughters
- By Bobby PierceBobby Pierce is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
The United States State Department got a crash course in the perils of social networking over the weekend.
Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Zapatero and his family posed for a picture with Barack and Michelle Obama at the U.N. What the Zapateros didn't know was that the picture would be posted online to the State Department's Flickr page. This wouldn't normally be a problem, except that the people of Spain have never seen any pictures of the prime minister's daughters before.
Spanish Goths/Punks approve of the picture because, well, let's say the girls appear to shop at Hot Topic. (Asunto Caliente?)
Spanish media was conflicted over the photo, many of them published it on the front page; however the state-owned news agency, EFE, did not run the photo. EFE said, "They should not have their personal rights prejudiced by the prime minister's decision to take them to New York."
The prime minister's office was trying to get all of the photos down, claiming he tries to keep his children out of the public eye. A noble cause, it seems there should be some middle ground between the Spanish case and this.

First of all, I apologize for the lack of posts over the past 2-3 weeks. As I had mentioned before, I was going back home to Canada for the holidays.
The vacation was great, and since it had been about two years since my last visit I had a lot of people to see 🙂 My wife also had a good time despite the language barrier (since she does not speak French). Probably the worst for her was the cold as she had never dealt with temperature in the low teens!
My mother was doing well despite her cancer and was really happy to see me which is a great thing! Since our time together is limited, I am planning on going back in a few weeks to spend a few more days with her before she gets too sick.
I did get back on Dec 30th, however it seems that both me and my wife caught something either in Canada or on the plane back. We have both been sick for almost three weeks now with the worst flu we've ever seen. Had to take a full week of sick days last week as i had no energy and was severely short of breath. I still feel fairly ill this week but had to go back to work as things do need to get done. We are both on a second wave on anti-biotic treatment and both had chest x-rays yesterday. Hopefully the doctor will be able to figure out what is going on and get us on the way to recovery.
Oh, and finally! My green card was approved last Friday! The best part is that i don't have to deal with the CIS anymore for a whole two years!!!

Contained Places
Ewelme is a village and civil parish in the Chiltern Hills in South Oxfordshire District, 2.5 miles (4 km) north-east of the market town of Wallingford. The 2011 UK census recorded the parish's population as 1,048.
To the east of the village is Cow Common and to the west, Benson Airfield, the northeastern corner of which is within the parish boundary.
William de la Pole, 1st Duke of Suffolk (1) (1396-1450) and his wife Alice de la Pole (1385-1475) established the school and cloistered almshouses from their profits from the East Anglian wool trade in 1437. Alice was the daughter of Thomas Chaucer, Speaker of the House of Commons and granddaughter of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer. As lords of the manor, she and her father had both lived at Ewelme Palace which once stood in the village.
Ewelme School is said to be the oldest school building in the UK still in use as a local authority school.
The almshouses are officially called "The Two Chaplains and Thirteen Poor Men of Ewelme in the County of Oxford". The thirteen almsmen have now been reduced to eight, but the building is still run as a charity by the Ewelme Trust.
Under James I the original purpose of the position of Master of Ewelme Hospital was diverted in 1617 to support the Regius Professorship of Physic at the University of Oxford; this was confirmed in 1628 by the attachment of the stipend to the chair. At the same time the rectorship of Ewelme was made to support the same university's Regius Professor of Divinity, who then served as Rector of the parish.
Parish church
Thomas Chaucer and Alice de la Pole are buried in the Church of England parish church of Saint Mary the Virgin adjoining the almshouses. Thomas, who died in 1434, was the son of Geoffrey the Poet and Phillipa Roet, whose sister Katherine de Roët married John of Gaunt, son of Edward III. The tomb chest of Thomas and that of his wife Matilda or Maud de Burghersh are topped with memorial brasses showing him in plate armour and her in mantle, veil and wimple with their respective crests (his a unicorn and hers a lion) at their feet.
Alice's alabaster tomb, almost undamaged by time, consists of a canopy of panelled stone, below which is the recumbent effigy of the Duchess on top of the tomb chest which contains her remains; the space beneath the chest encloses her sculpted cadaver, which is viewed through elaborate reticulated arches. Her effigy was examined by Queen Victoria's commissioners in order to discover how a lady should wear the insignia of the Order of the Garter.
William de la Pole was Alice's third husband. Alice's first and second husbands were John Philip (died 1415) and Thomas Montagu, 4th Earl of Salisbury (1388-1428). Her six-year-old step-great-granddaughter, Anne Beauchamp, 15th Countess of Warwick (1440-1447), also died at Ewelme, but was buried at Reading Abbey.
Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927), author of Three Men In A Boat, lived at Gould's Grove just southeast of Ewelme. He and his wife Ettie (died 1938) are buried in St. Mary's churchyard; their tombstone reads "For we are labourers together with God".

Proper marketing strategies are the key to App Store success and there are now a number of excellent resources available to help seasoned or first-time developers achieve App Store success. Here are my personal favorite app marketing books—ones that should be on any developer's bookshelf! (Note: All are available at Amazon.com and other sources. )
Get Rich with Apps! Your Guide to Reaching More Customers and Making Money Now
List price: $19.95, Kindle price: $9.95, author: Jesse Feiler
This book is a general overview on how to make money with iPhone, iPad and Facebook apps. This is a great book if you're thinking about getting into the app business but want a better understanding of the basics and how everything works. It's very easy read; more of an introduction to the app world at large. Seasoned developers might pass on this one, unless they're thinking about creating a Facebook version of your iPhone or iPad app. (Beginner)
Starting an iPhone Application Business For Dummies
List: $24.99, Kindle: $14.84, authors: Aaron Nicholson, Joel Elad, and Damien Stolarz
The three authors integrate their varied expertise into one concise book, covering every facet of app business and marketing in digestible chunks. The book helps you understand the iPhone platform, come up with a home-run app idea, staff your app creation team, price and market your app, and provides a host of other relevant business and marketing strategies and resources. You can think of this as a complete iPhone App Business manual. (Beginner/Intermediate/Expert)
The Business of iPhone App Development: Making and Marketing Apps that Succeed
List: $29.99, Kindle: $16.49, authors: Dave Wooldridge and Michael Schneider
This book brings together the authors' complimentary skills and knowledge to provide a wealth of useful information. In addition to layout and organization, the main difference between this title and the Dummies book is that this one provides many invaluable examples of code. (Make sure you pass this on to your development team.) The book covers a wide variety of topics, including how to set up in-app user reviews and how to create a sniffer inside your html code that points your user to your app's main website or its mobile version. In addition, the information in this book will help you analyze the competition, protect your intellectual property, explain the free-versus-paid app argument, test and insure the usability of your app, create buzz for your app, market your app once it is approved by Apple, and much more. I was very impressed with this title.
iPhone and iPad Apps Marketing: Secrets to Selling Your iPhone and iPad Apps
List: $24.99, Kindle: $9.99, author: Jeffrey F. Hughes
This book focuses entirely on marketing strategies for your app(s). The author, a marketing guru, breaks down the marketing process and provides multiple examples on key topics, including how to make a best-selling app, the four questions you need to ask to determine your app's unique value, how to craft and deliver your app's total message, how to craft your marketing plan, how to create electronic buzz for your app, pricing strategies, and multiple marketing strategies. I loved the section on how to get into the coveted App Store's Top 100 and his list of the top 25 essential iPhone/iPad marketing activities that every app needs in order to be successful. This is a very accessible book—you don't need an MBA to understand his ideas and strategies. (Intermediate/Expert)
Required reading!
I'd like to thank the publishers for providing me with review copies of these excellent books. Think of them as your required reading list for your "Intro to Starting an App Development Business" and "App Marketing Strategies" classes. If you want to pick one book to start with, I'd suggest The Business of iPhone App Development:… But remember—one book alone is not going to cover everything. If you're on a budget, start with at least two from this list.
These books will give you a solid foundation of knowledge, but you'll need to apply that foundation to your projects and business to gain practical wisdom. Remember that marketing your app is an ongoing process—it's a marathon, not a sprint! So good luck—believe in your app(s) and in yourself!
