Why do we need to Turn off the Screens?
Time spent watching TV and videos games takes away from opportunities for children to engage in physical
activity, social interaction, learning to read and being creative. Spending excessive amounts of time
watching television has been linked to childhood obesity which in turn increases a child's chances of
experiencing health problems such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.
Canadian children and youth watch up to 26 hours of TV per week.1 By the time they have graduated from high
school they will have spent more time on the couch watching TV than they have spent learning in class.2

What kinds of activities are involved in Turn off the Screens Week?
Most schools start off the week with a kick-off assembly. Students pledge to turn off the screens for the week
and receive an activity log on which to record the activities they choose to do in place of "screen" time.
Peel Health provides curriculum support materials for each grade so that teachers can plan in class activities
to support the message of the week.

For the first time in their 11 years, the Tampa Bay Rays are talking playoffs. Ticket sales are up 25 percent. Television ratings are growing even faster.
So why, in the middle of this surprising surge, are the Rays seeking a new stadium?
What's wrong with Tropicana Field?
In a word: money. The Rays say only a new stadium will generate enough revenue to pay higher salaries and field a consistently competitive team.
A St. Petersburg Times review of baseball finances supports the Rays notion that modern, more intimate ballparks make huge sums of new money. Attendance, ticket prices and team value all increase, often dramatically.
But the link between new stadiums and more wins is tenuous at best. Over the past decade, teams in new ballparks averaged only 2.2 additional wins. Five of the nine teams got worse.
A committee of civic leaders is examining whether the Rays need a new stadium, where it might be located and whether local governments should renew taxes to keep baseball in St. Petersburg.
In the end, it's not about indoor vs. outdoor.
It's not about downtown vs. Gateway.
It's about the bottom line.
The Rays and other major league clubs will not open their books to scrutiny. But a St. Petersburg Times examination of nine of the newest ballparks, all opened since 1999, reveals two trends:
• Attendance soared, even after the honeymoon glow of a new park wore off. In eight of the nine parks, attendance grew three times faster than the major league average.
• Average ticket prices grew twice as fast as the major league average. San Francisco Giants' tickets doubled in the first five years, from $11.08 to $21.72. Tickets in Detroit rose at a similar rate.
Combined, higher attendance and pricier seats produce staggering new revenues.
Giants average ticket sales rose from $18.5-million at Candlestick Park to $71.2-million at AT&T Park. Philadelphia's new ballpark brought in an extra $51-million a year, San Diego's $28-million.
And that doesn't include increased parking revenue. Or concessions. Or merchandise sales.
Higher revenues, in turn, enabled teams to invest some of that new money in players, the Times analysis shows.
The Giants spent $44.5-million more a year on players in their new park. Philadelphia increased its payroll $42-million; even small-market Pittsburgh added almost $27-million a year to salaries.
In fact, all teams with new ballparks, except for the Milwaukee Brewers, raised player salaries faster than the major league average.
Dollars and cents
It's a cool, breezy May night in Washington, D.C., as the Milwaukee Brewers take on the hometown Nationals.
The Nats are in last place, and hopes for a winning season already are dim. But the team's new 41,888-seat ballpark is three-quarters full of fans milling about the stands and beer stalls.
What's happening on the field doesn't matter much.
Inside the Lexus Presidents Club, pictures of presidents throwing out ceremonial first pitches line the dark-wood bar and restaurant, right behind home plate. Fans nibble on chocolate cupcakes, sink into leather chairs and watch through a private window as players take swings at the stadium's indoor batting cage.
It's a luxurious diversion, if you can afford it. A single ticket costs $325.
Welcome to the lucrative new world of modern ballparks.
"The focus used to be the seats have to be good, there has to be a place to buy a beer and a hot dog, and there has to be a place to use the john," said Joe Spear, whose firm, HOK Sport, has designed 10 of the past 14 new ballparks. "Now it's a lot richer experience. There has to be a lot more things to do. What you learn is that people don't want just hot dogs, they want crab cakes, premium sandwiches, imported beer."
Dave St. Peter knows the drill all too well. St. Peter, who went from managing a Minnesota Twins retail store to running the entire franchise, is scheduled to open a new publicly financed ballpark in 2010.
The stadium will feature a 102-foot-long high-definition scoreboard, 3,400 club seats and warming shelters for cold days. Most importantly, it will generate $40-million to $50-million more in revenue a year, St. Peter said.
"It's critical to ensuring a competitive team for the long term."
The Nationals won't discuss cash flow at their new ballpark, but the Washington Post estimates ticket revenues could double this year — and that's for a team that may finish with the worst record in baseball.
How does this all happen? How does a stadium so dramatically increase a team's revenues?
Prepare to open your wallet.
How they make money
The best seats at the New Yorks Mets' new ballpark next year will cost $495 a game, up from the $276 at Shea Stadium this season, according to the New York Times. Ticket revenues overall for the Mets could increase $100-million a year, even though Citi Field will have 15,000 fewer seats.
It's a common thread through all new ballpark construction:
Fewer seats. More demand. Higher prices. Bigger takes.
"You are creating demand, all the teams are doing it, realizing that poor people watch games on TV and rich people go to the game and show off," said J.C. Bradbury, sports economist at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. "The real money is in making sure you can get sushi and fine wine and sit 40 feet from home plate or in a luxury box."
Rays executives acknowledge a new ballpark would lead to higher ticket prices overall. But the increases would mostly hit premium seats, they say.
"You want to create the ability to monetize the small number of customers who can create the biggest revenue bang," said Rays senior vice president Michael Kalt. "What that does is it allows you to keep prices fairly constant for the great mass of average people."
It's not only tickets, though. New stadiums suck in money in other ways.
• Teams are turning the facing of their upper decks into LED image boards that can display electronic advertisements throughout the game. The Trop's facing is too small for that.
• Areas of a stadium are being built for private pre- and postgame parties. During the game, these serve as congregating points where fans can view the game. The Trop's design doesn't allow such flexibility.
• Luxury suites and VIP club areas are being sponsored by high-end businesses such as Lexus. A kids area in San Francisco is sponsored by Coca-Cola. Luxury suites at the Trop are relatively spartan and poorly designed. An overhang blocks fans from tracking high fly balls. The Trop's kids area is tucked into a dark corner of the outfield, where parents waiting with their children cannot watch the game.
Tropicana Field, opened in 1990 to lure baseball, was the last true multipurpose sports venue in America.
St. Petersburg officials thought the flexibility would beef up revenues. For a while, it worked.
Hockey's Tampa Bay Lightning and arena football's Tampa Bay Storm played in the dome and broke national attendance records. Rock icons Kiss drew 15,000 fans one night and singer-songwriter Alanis Morissette drew 20,000 the next.
But when the Lightning and Storm departed in 1996 for a smaller arena in downtown Tampa, the Trop lost its side business and was left with a cavernous design suitable for football but mediocre for baseball.
Renovation potential
Some seats are too far from the field, the Rays say. Many in the upper deck and along the baselines face into the outfield instead of angling toward home plate. You can't walk around the dome on the same level or watch the game while waiting for a hot dog.
"The Tropicana dome is the worst stadium in baseball," said Andrew Zimbalist, a respected critic of new stadiums and an economist at Smith College. "It's an unappealing place that doesn't have a lot of revenue-generating accoutrements that a lot of new stadiums have."
The Rays say even with gains in advertising and marketing, the Trop never will generate ticket revenues that other teams enjoy.
The seats are just not worth enough. Short of gutting the stadium and starting over, there is not much that can change that, the Rays say.
The stadium's roof design also presents a problem. After the Twins move into their new park, the Rays will be the only team in baseball to play in a fully enclosed dome. Seattle, Houston, Arizona, Milwaukee and Toronto play in domes that open when the weather is nice.
Retrofitting the Trop with a retractable roof would require tearing down the existing roof and installing new structural supports, Kalt said. In addition, the stands and playing fields would need elaborate new drainage systems to deal with Florida downpours.
"You're literally talking a couple hundred-million dollars," Kalt said.
Without dramatic change, the Rays are at a financial disadvantage.
According to an estimate produced by Forbes, the Rays took in an estimated $138-million in revenues in 2007, the third-least in baseball. The Detroit Tigers, who ranked 15th in revenues, by comparison, earned $173-million in a new ballpark.
Rays' officials, who typically discredit the Forbes estimates, say relative to other teams the magazine is correct. The Rays say they rank at or near the bottom in every category of revenue — from ticket sales to advertising to luxury suites.
Attendance gains at the Trop this year should add about $6-million to ticket revenues. Concessions and parking could add $4-million to $5-million. But that won't cover the $35-million gap between the Rays and Tigers, who are near the mid-point in revenues.
And the Rays wouldn't even pocket all of those increases. As part of Major League Baseball revenue sharing rules, the Rays must turn over about $0.31 of every additional $1 they make at Tropicana Field this year.
If they don't get a new stadium, the Rays say, they will keep falling further behind.
Only three teams in Major League Baseball are waiting on new ballparks and the revenue they bring — Oakland, Florida and Tampa Bay.
Behemoths like the Yankees and Mets are opening new stadiums in 2009, and Minnesota's new ballpark opens a year later. Icons like Wrigley and Fenway are finding new ways to pull in all sorts of money. Major renovations are planned or under way for Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City.
Collectively, these stadiums represent billions of dollars in new money for baseball, and renewed hope for the cities that build them.
"I don't think anybody made a mistake in building a ballpark they shouldn't have built," said Jim Grinstead, editor of the trade publication Revenues from Sports Venues.
But, Grinstead said, wins and losses is another story.
Coming next week
Will building a new stadium bring more victories for the Rays?
"You are creating demand, all the teams are doing it, realizing that poor people watch games on TV and rich people go to the game and show off."
J.C. Bradbury, sports economist at Kennesaw State University in Georgia
"There has to be a lot more things to do. What you learn is that people don't want just hot dogs, they want crab cakes, premium sandwiches, imported beer."
Joe Spear, of the design firm HOK Sport

San Lorenzo Valley High alum Adam Carr made his return from the disabled list Monday and threw for the first time this season, getting the win for the Gulf Coast League Nationals.
Carr -- selected out of Oklahoma State in the 18th round of the 2006 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Washington Nationals -- threw two shutout innings in relief of starter Adalberto Mieses in a 6-1 win over the GCL Marlins in the teams' season-opening game.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound right-handed pitcher didn't allow a walk or hit and struck out one batter.
Carr was sidelined most of the 2011, throwing 19 innings for Triple-A Syracuse. He was released at the end of the season and re-signed with the organization after undergoing offseason surgery on his throwing hand.
Aptos High alum Bobby Crocker, who competes for the Oakland A's Single-A affiliate Burlington Bees, was named the Midwest League's Offensive Player of the Week.
The 22-year-old former Cal Poly San Luis Obispo outfielder hit .391 [9-for-23] with two doubles, three home runs and 10 RBIs. He also walked seven times and scored seven runs.
A trio of local baseball players made the preliminary list for Cal-Hi Sports' all-state team. Nominations are still being gathered by the publication.
Aptos High seniors John Evans, an outfielder, and pitcher/first baseman Jordan Talbot have been nominated, and so has Monterey Bay League MVP Sam Thorne, a pitcher and catcher out of Monte Vista Christian School in Watsonville.
Santa Cruz's Ellie Loustalot shot 17-over 89, missing the cut at the U.S. Girls Junior Amateur qualifying at Mira Vista Country Club in El Cerrito.
Livermore's Casie Cathrea shot 1-under-par 71 for medalist honors.
Pleasanton's Alexandra Sborov and San Diego's Minjia Luo tied for second at 2-over-par 74.
Fullerton's Stephanie Lau and Daly City's Felicia Paulina Medalla each shot 76 to qualify.
Five players shot 78 and competed in a playoff for the final three qualifying berths, which were taken by Cupertino's Grace Park, San Diego's Hee Wook Choi and Sunnyvale's Nancy Xu.
The U.S. Girls Junior Amateur -- a United States Golf Association championship -- will be held at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City from July 16-21.

Contained Places
Eureka Springs is a city in Carroll County, Arkansas, United States, and one of two county seats for the county. It is located in the Ozark Mountains of northwest Arkansas. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 2,073.[1]
The entire city is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Eureka Springs Historic District, and a popular tourist destination. Eureka Springs is a unique Victorian resort village. The city has steep winding streets filled with Victorian-style cottages and manors. The old commercial section of the city has an alpine character, with an extensive streetscape of well-preserved Victorian buildings. The buildings are primarily constructed of local stone and lie along streets that curve around the hills and rise and fall with the topography in a five-mile long loop. Some buildings have street-level entrances on more than one floor. Eureka Springs has been selected as one of America's Distinctive Destinations by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Eureka Springs has historically been called "The Little Switzerland of America" and "The Stairstep Town" because of its mountainous terrain and the winding, up-and-down paths of its streets and walkways. The streets wind around the town, and no two intersect at a 90 degree angle; there are no traffic lights.
Native American legends tell of a Great Healing Spring in the Eureka Springs area, and various cultures visited the springs for this sacred purpose.
The European Americans were another culture to consider the springs to have healing powers. After the Europeans arrived, they described the waters of the springs as having magical powers. Within a short time in the late nineteenth century, Eureka Springs was transformed into a flourishing city, spa, and tourist destination. Dr. Alvah Jackson was credited in American history with locating the spring and in 1856 claimed that the waters of Basin Spring had cured his eye ailments. Dr. Jackson established a hospital in a local cave during the Civil War and used the waters from Basin Spring to treat his patients. After the war, Jackson marketed the spring waters as "Dr. Jackson's Eye Water". The Ozarka Water Company was later formed in Eureka Springs in 1905.
In 1879 Judge J.B. Saunders, a friend of Jackson, claimed that his crippling disease was cured by the spring waters. Saunders started promoting Eureka Springs to friends and family members across the state and created a boomtown. Within a period of little more than one year, the city grew from a rural spa village to a major city.
On February 14, 1880, Eureka Springs was incorporated as a city. Thousands of visitors came to the springs based on Saunders' promotion and covered the area with tents and shanties. In 1881, Eureka Springs enjoyed the status of Arkansas's fourth largest city, and in 1889 it was the second largest city, behind Little Rock.
After his term as a Reconstruction governor, Powell Clayton moved to the heavily Unionist Eureka Springs and began promoting the city and its commercial interests. Clayton promoted the town as a retirement community for the wealthy. Eureka Springs soon became known for gracious living and a wealthy lifestyle.
Carrie Nation moved here towards the end of her life and founded Hatchet Hall on Steele Street, later operated as a museum, but now closed.
The only bank robbery to occur in Eureka Springs was on September 27, 1922, when five outlaws from Oklahoma tried to rob the First National Bank. Three of the men were killed and two others wounded.
In 1967, the famous 7-story Christ of the Ozarks Statue was built, and a year later, The Great Passion Play began. The play became America's #1 attended outdoor drama bringing in at least 7.6 million tourists to the area since its inception.
In 1980, the architect E. Fay Jones designed Thorncrown Chapel. It won design awards at the time and in 2006 was selected for the "Twenty-five Year Award" by the American Institute of Architects, which recognizes structures that have had significant influence on the profession. Because of the special nature and quality of its architecture, the chapel was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
Victorian era architecture
In 1882, the Eureka Improvement Company was formed to attract a railroad to the city. With the completion of the railroad, Eureka Springs established itself as a vacation resort. In only two years, thousands of homes and commercial enterprises were constructed. The Crescent Hotel was built in 1886 and the Basin Park Hotel in 1905. These many Victorian buildings have been well preserved, forming a coherent streetscape that has been recognized for its quality.
In 1891, the Queen Anne Mansion was built in Carthage, Missouri, by Curtis Wright, a Union veteran of the Civil War.[2] Wright came to the area in 1888 to mine the lead and zinc deposits, before eventually starting the Carthage Stone Company to gather limestone from a local quarry. Wright was the owner of a large furniture factory in Indiana, and came to Carthage as part of a six-month tour of the Midwest to find a place to relocate his family. When Wright saw the wealth potential in the area, he wrote to his wife, promising to build her "the biggest house in Carthage" if she would agree to the move.[3] The 29-room mansion is an example of Queen Anne architecture. Curtis Wright eventually lost his fortune and gave up the home to pay taxes. The mansion passed through several owners before being dismantled piece by piece and moved to Eureka Springs by Ron and Mary Evans of Kansas City, Missouri, in 1984.[4] The Evanses made extensive renovations and ran the property as a bed and breakfast until 2005, when they sold the property to Steve and Lata Lovell of Chicago. The Lovells turned the mansion into a museum in May 2010, and in November 2012 they announced that the mansion would be sold as a fractional ownership private residence club.[5]

Why do DHS and their international counterparts buy body bags in bulk?Because when you have XX,XXX number of known terrorists you know you should be keeping eye on - but only enough people to actually watch XXX of them - you know body bags are mostly how you´ll be responding to any of them popping up on your radar.

I also have a Virus TI, V-Synth XT, and Machinedrum each running off their own USB midi ports. So I have roughly a total of 35 midi ports I need access to. My DAW is Sonar 8.5 in Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3. In Sonar some of my MIDI ports are no longer showing now that I've added the extra MTP. Have I reached the limit of XP's capabilities? Are there any work arounds to increase the number of ports available? Do I need to upgrade my OS? I really hope not. Please help.

Our Showrooms are continiously updating our range of tiles and bathrooms. This site only
offers a small selection of the huge range of tiles in stock.
Tiles are one of the best materials
for repelling water. This makes it the perfect choice for bathrooms and kitchens. The strength and
durability of tiles is far greater than linoleum or carpet, so it is the perfect choice for flooring.
If you tile a room that gets sun exposure, it will actually absorb heat and release
it slowly at night, which cannot be said for carpet or linoleum. No other
material has the presence and timeless beauty of tile. A well picked tile can be the perfect
accent to existing decor and add value and classic style to any home.
What kind of tile should I use?
There are many different formats avaialble to suit different situtations, e.g.
As well as supplying tiles and a fitting service to
the domestic retail customer, we also offer an established
service to apartments and housing developments, offices,
shops, bar, restaurants and factories etc. Our helpful
and courteous staff will do their best to help and guide
you to the best tile for your application.

About the hotel
Have you ever felt the beauty of the seasons changing from one to another? Have you ever been wonder-struck by an inexpressible feeling, when looking through the window you saw trees in their golden gowns suddenly vestured with fluffy white snow? And later when, with a wave of sunny spring, gently babbling streamlets take away the melting winter blanket and here and there appear the green shoots of spring…, carried by a song of the returned lark to the summer, full of colours and sough of greenery… The top class hotel "Palanga" in Birutes Alley in the founded by earls Tiskevicius park, just fifty meters away from the sea, will bring you these experiences and feelings. The unusual ship like, five-story hotel (the best architectural work of Lithuania in 2003; architect D. Rakauskas) is hidden among the trees of a forest, filled with a fragrance of pine.
From the windows of the top floors of the hotel besides the view of stately pines you will also be captivated by the sea panorama with luring waves of the Baltic Sea, breaking on the shore. Windows, prevailing in the facade, are only a transparent screen, separating the guests of the hotel from the nearness of lightsome nature. It creates the unique aura of "Palanga", altering every season and enabling comfortable rest all the year round. "Palanga" enchants with its tranquillity and warm hospitality. Here predominate elegance and cosiness, minimalistic simplicity with elements of the modern. The authentic spirit of the resort and the present harmonize perfectly in the hotel.

In this passage, we find out what it means to be the ideal woman. As with men, too often, this world has a warped view of what a woman should be. Much of it is focused on her appearance. Being slim, beautiful, and sexy. But Lemuel's mother makes a key point in this passage.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. (30)
Women, to be a woman means simply this above all things: fear the Lord. Spending time developing your charm and your beauty is worth nothing compared to cultivating your relationship with your Lord.
Men, if you are pursuing a wife, don't be deceived by her charms or her looks. Look instead for a real woman. Someone who loves her Lord above all else.
If you want to wrap up the whole of this passage, that's it. But there's also a lot more Lemuel's mother said of the kind of woman her son should pursue.
She should be someone of noble character (10). Physical beauty fades. A noble character only grows more beautiful. What is a woman of noble character? It goes back to the first point. It's a woman who pursues her Lord above all things. A woman who does this will grow more and more like her Lord as each day passes.
She is trustworthy (11). She's a person you can trust to be faithful to you. A person you can trust to be faithful in your finances. A person you can trust to be honest with you at all times.
She looks to bless her husband (12). Put another way, she honors her husband above herself.
She is not lazy, but hardworking to support her family's needs (13-15, 21-22, 27). This is primarily talking about her role as a housewife.
She is wise with her finances, making good choices (16).
Though not neglecting her family (13-15), she works to support her family financially (17-19, 24). This is a tough balance to achieve for both men and women. I, of course, think it's fine for wives to work, and in this day and age, it's often necessary. But for husbands and wives, we need to be careful that in trying to achieve financial security, we don't neglect our marriages nor our children.
She is generous (20).
Because of the type of wife she is, she brings dignity to her husband in front of others (23). In contrast with other women who tear down their husbands in front of others, constantly complaining about them.
She has strength and a dignity about her (25a). So not only can people respect her husband, they can respect her.
She is confident about her future because she fears the Lord (25b). She has utterly put her trust in Him.
She is wise, and her from her mouth pours out wisdom (26). To her husband, to her children, and to those around her.
She has the respect of her husband and children (28-29).
That is a woman, and more namely a wife, by God's definition.
Women, what kind of woman are you?
Single men, what kind of woman are you pursuing?

Dan Jellinek of UK Authority recently wrote, "A two-year project using 'big data' computing techniques to link records of Parliamentary debates with other social data could be 'transformative' for political research, the UK academic leading the project has said. 'Digging into Linked Parliamentary Data' is one of 14 international projects to win a share of a £3m Digging into Data Award, an international competition to develop new ways of handling 'big data' in humanities and social science research. It will develop semantic search tools to analyse databases of political debates in the UK, Canada and the Netherlands from 1800 to the present, enhancing the study of issues such as the history of left-right ideological polarisation in powerful ways, according to its leaders."
Jellinek continues, "The project is headed by the Institute of Historical Research at the School of Advanced Study, University of London with partners including King's College London, the History of Parliament Trust, and the universities of Amsterdam and Toronto. Dr Jane Winters, reader in digital humanities at the Institute of Historical Research, told UKAuthority.com that UK work will focus on digital versions of the Hansard official record of House of Commons debates and related data such as 'division lists' – how MPs have voted. Applications could include analysis of key terms to study how left-right ideological polarisation has developed over time in UK politics, and what factors influence this, Winters said."

Genetic Screening and Price Discrimination in Insurance Markets
Basing insurance prices on the results of an imperfect screening test to identify risk types can reduce or increase aggregate discrimination across insureds. We present a powerful and general new framework of analysis to examine this issue, rawing upon recent work which uses decomposable inequality indices to measure vertical and horizontal inequity in taxation. We find that, whilst improved test performance inevitably reduces vertical discrimination (in the average prices faced by different risk types), even very accurate tests can lead to substantial horizontal discrimination (within risk types) and enhanced overall discrimination. These conclusions are shown to be robust to a range of different value judgements about how to aggregate individual discriminatory effects and to be particularly relevant to the case of genetic screening

On the stump and in an interview with ABC News' Charlie Gibson today, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., upped the ante in the attacks his campaign is making on the character of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., personally invoking Obama's relationship with education professor William Ayers, a former member of the violent, radical '70s group, the Weather Underground.
McCain's comments came on the seventh straight day of Wall Street losses, with the Dow plunging 679 points to trade below 9,000 points for the first time in five years.
But McCain sought to refocus attention from that to Obama's relationship with Ayers, who hosted a coffee get-together for Obama in 1995 and served on two boards with him, including one that the McCain campaign misleadingly called a "radical education foundation" in a Web video released today. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was funded by Walter Annenberg, a former ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Nixon.
It's not as if the notion that Republicans would use Ayers to attack Obama is new.
In February, I asked Obama about four items Republicans would use to attack him on the theme of patriotism. Obama answered three of them, but skipped the one about Ayers.
During a Democratic primary debate in April, George Stephanopoulos noted Obama's relationship with Ayers and pointed out that the Weather Underground bombed the Pentagon, the Capitol and other buildings, but that Ayers had "never apologized for that. And, in fact, on 9/11, he was quoted in the New York Times saying, 'I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough.'"
Obama said of Ayers, 'This is a guy who lives in my neighborhood, who's a professor of English in Chicago who I know, and who I have not received some official endorsement from. He's not somebody who I exchange ideas from on a regular basis. And the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense."
Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., then pointed out that "Sen. Obama served on a board with Mr. Ayers for a period of time, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid directorship position. And, if I'm not mistaken, that relationship with Mr. Ayers on this board continued after 9/11 and after his reported comments, which were deeply hurtful to people in New York and, I would hope, to every American, because they were published on 9/11, and he said that he was just sorry they hadn't done more. And what they did was set bombs. And in some instances, people died. So it is-- I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about."
Clinton said, "I know Sen. Obama's a good man and I respect him greatly, but I think that this is an issue that certainly the Republicans will be raising."
And raise it they are. But Republican officials not connected to the McCain campaign fret that given the economic turmoil going on, these attacks will only serve to alienate voters from McCain.
It's not as if these officials don't think it's legitimate issue. And it's certainly true that Obama and his campaign have been less-than-forthcoming about the Ayers relationship.
But Republicans worry that few swing voters will find this issue more compelling than the economy, and many think it will only paint McCain as nasty and out of touch.
Taking only part of Obama's quote from that April debate, McCain today told Charlie Gibson that Obama was obfuscating.
Ayers "wasn't a guy in the neighborhood. [Obama] launched his political career in his living room, in Mr. Ayers' living room," McCain said. "And I don't care about two washed-up old terrorists that are unrepentant about trying to destroy America. But I do care, and Americans should care, about his relationship with him and whether he's being truthful and candid about it.
"I think it's a factor about Sen. Obama's candor and truthfulness with the American people," McCain said, before adding, "I don't care about Mr. Ayers, who on Sept. 11, 2001, said he wished he'd have bombed more. I don't care about that. I care about [Obama] being truthful about his relationship with him. And Americans will care."
Obama told Gibson yesterday, "I'll repeat again what I've said many times. This is a guy who engaged in some despicable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old. By the time I met him, 10 or 15 years ago, he was a college professor of education at the University of Illinois. ... And the notion that somehow he has been involved in my campaign, that he is an adviser of mine, that ... I've 'palled around with a terrorist,' all these statements are made simply to try to score cheap political points."
In a Republican joint town hall meeting in Wisconsin that seemed to evoke a lot of anger against the Democratic presidential nominee today, McCain and running mate Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska leveled many charges against Obama.
"Welcome to Wisconsin," said one man, according to ABC News Bret Hovell. "Thanks for coming. I'm mad! I'm really mad! And what's gonna surprise you, it's not the economy. It's the socialists taking over our country.
"Sit down, I'm not done," he told the applauding crowd. "I think it's so important, in today's country, what we're really missing and what's going on. When you have an Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the hooligans up there gonna run this country, we've got to have our head examined. It's time that you two are representing us, and we are mad. So go get them!"
The crowd began chanting: "U-S-A! U-S-A!"
"Well, I think I got the message," McCain said. "Could I just say: The gentleman is right. The Democrats have been in the majority for the last two years. Have you seen any improvement?"
Said another man, "We're all wondering why that Obama is where he's at, How he got here. I mean everybody in this room is stunned that we're in this position. ... We are all a product of our associations. Is there not a way to get around this media and line up the people that he has hung with?"
"Well, sir, with your help," McCain said. "With your help and the people in this room, we will find out -- just as Sen. Clinton said in the primary that we should find out about this association. Look, we don't care about an old washed up terrorist and his wife who still, at least on Sept. 11, 2001, said he still wanted to bomb more."
The audience disagreed with this line, as one might expect.
"That's not the point here," McCain insisted. "The point is Sen. Obama said he was just a guy in the neighborhood. We know that's not true. We need to know the full extent of the relationship because of whether Sen. Obama is telling the truth to the American people or not. That's the question."
As I type this on Thursday evening, the Asian markets are open and they're down. The Seoul composite is down nearly 9 percent and the Nikkei is down about 5 percent.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Big Sky Huckleberry Angus/Bison Burgers (with caramelized onions, rainbow Swiss chard and goat's cheese)
The beauty of Montana always contains an element of the wild. There is restlessness in the landscape and the people. This burger represents the spirit of Montana by using huckleberries. Huckleberries grow wild in the mountains of the west and can't be domesticated, much like the untamed landscape of Montana. Huckleberries grow on steep mountainsides and are only obtained through rigorous hiking and knowledge of the land. The bison that once roamed free in the west used to be a staple for both Native Americans and early settlers. The caramelized onions on this burger compliment the sweetness of the huckleberries and the goat's cheese tops the burger with a tangy decadence. Additionally, rainbow Swiss chard adds a dash of color and a fresh crunch to this burger.
Caramelized Onion Huckleberry Topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 medium yellow onions cut in 1/4 inch slices
- 5 teaspoons huckleberry syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Honey Huckleberry Glaze:
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 6 teaspoons huckleberry syrup
-1 1/2 pounds Angus Ground Beef, 80% lean
- 1/2 pound ground Bison
-3 medium shallots, minced
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-3 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
-3 teaspoons sea salt
-4 teaspoons Teriyaki sauce
-4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
-8 teaspoons huckleberry syrup
-7 ounces goat's cheese
-6 high-quality hamburger buns
-12 leaves of rainbow Swiss chard
Preheat a gas grill to low heat.
To assemble the caramelized onion topping melt 4 tablespoons of butter over low heat in a medium sauté pan. Slice 3 yellow onions in 1/4 inch slices and add to sauce pan. Continue cooking over low heat until the onions are caramelized (approximately 45 minutes). Once the onions are caramelized drain the excess butter into a small bowl and set aside. In another small bowl combine the caramelized onions with 5 teaspoons of huckleberry syrup, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and stir. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
To assemble the glaze, combine 4 tablespoons of honey with 6 teaspoons of huckleberry syrup and whisk together. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
Raise the grill heat to medium-high heat.
To make the patties combine the Angus ground beef and the ground bison in a medium bowl. Add the minced shallots, minced garlic, fresh ground pepper, sea salt, Teriyaki sauce, Worcestershire sauce and Huckleberry syrup. Mix thoroughly and form into 6 patties.
When the grill is ready, brush the rack with the excess butter from the caramelized onions and place the patties on the rack. Cook for 5 minutes and flip the patties. After flipping the patties brush the top side with the honey huckleberry glaze and cover the grill. Place the caramelized onion topping and goat's cheese on the patties during the last 3 minutes of grilling. Place the buns cut side down on the outer edge of the rack and lightly toast during the last 2 minutes of grilling.
To assemble the burger place two rainbow Swiss chard leaves on each bun bottom. Place one cheese and onion topping covered patty on each bun bottom. Add the bun tops and serve.
Makes 6 burgers
If huckleberry syrup is not locally available to you, you can obtain it at this website, http://montanatreasures.com or use blueberry syrup as an adequate substitute.

Tanja Poutiainen wins Altenmarkt slalom; two Americans in top 10
Tanja Poutiainen wins Altenmarkt slalom; two Americans in top 10Tanja Poutiainen of Finland won the women's slalom today in Altenmarkt, Austria, regaining the overall World Cup lead. Poutiainen, who also leads the slalom World Cup standings, completed the Kaelberloch course in a combined time of 1 minute, 39.88 seconds, edging out Austria's Marlies Schild by just 0.03 seconds.
Croatia's Janica Kostelic was third in 1:40.53, followed by Anja Paerson of Sweden (1:40.94). Two Americans were in the top 10 at the Austrian ski area, just up the road from the Atomic ski factory.
The 24-year-old Poutiainen celebrated her second straight slalom win, following a third and a first place in the double-header slaloms in Aspen at the end of November. It was the fifth top-three finish for Poutiainen this season.
"Everything is easy going. Thanks to my recent success, I have a lot of self-confidence and I can trust my skill," the Finn said.
Slalom specialist Schild set the fastest time in the second run to record her first podium finish this season. "The pressure on me was enormous after the disappointing slaloms in America. However, I decided to attack fully regardless," said Schild, who crashed in both slaloms in Aspen.
Schild said she was not annoyed having lost by such a narrow margin. "I am happy about my result, particularly looking at my physical condition," said the Austrian, who had only slept for a couple of hours the night before because of an upset stomach.
While Poutiainen and Schild were happy with their rankings, Kostelic, who trailed the winner by 0.65 seconds, appeared disappointed. The Croat, who prefers to ski in icy conditions, lashed out at the slope saying: "The piste was too easy. Too easy for everyone."
Kostelic, who is Poutiainen's biggest challenger — together with last year's dominant slalom skier Paerson –said slalom was the discipline "I hate most, although it's the discipline I am best at."
Paerson briefly moved to the top of the overall standings on Saturday after finishing better than Poutiainen in the super G event. But Poutiainen's victory on Sunday allowed her to wrest back the lead. The Finn has 441 points, compared to Paerson's 393, with Kostelic third on 383. -The Associated Press

SHARE and Web Services in Boston (August 21 - 26)
Kelvin_Lawrence 0600007PGE Tags:  xml web_services conferences standards 2,240 Views
One of the activities I do in my "spare time" is to act as a SHARE volunteer. If you are not familiar with SHARE, it is a large user group, that has its foundations and traditions in the world of mainframe computing but these days their members cover a very broad spectrum of diciplines that include many of the more contemporary computing environments. SHARE holds two large conference events each year. The next one is just few weeks away (starting on August 21st) in Boston. As a SHARE volunteer, I help coordinate the speakers/agenda for and help run the WEBS Project. I am also a regular speaker myself. The WEBS project tends to focus on the new and emerging technology areas that have grown from the Web. In the past we have covered Java and XML topics extensively. These days we cover open standards, Web Services, SOA, Portals and even Grid Computing. If you are interested in the agenda for the WEBS project for Boston you will find it here. Also, if you are not familiar with SHARE I would encourage you to look at the full conference agenda.

|Top five post players
|Shareka Maner, Sr., Nature Coast
|Averaged 11.6 ppg and 9.7 rpg and is a force in the frontcourt.
|Jazmin Armstrong, Jr., Springstead
|The 6-footer raised eyebrows last summer.
|Kianna Mills, Jr., Gulf
|Possesses size (5 feet 11) and enormous promise.
|Hanna Bernard, Sr., Mitchell
|Had 7.0 ppg, 7.4 rpg on 15-win team.
|Janelle Mills, Sr., Wesley Chapel
|Wildcats' top player off the bench last season; will be key starter.
|Top five perimeter players
|Meghan Keough, So., Land O'Lakes
|Could lead any North Suncoast team; averaged 13.3 ppg and 2.2 apg.
|Nicole Adams, So., Gulf.
|Dropped 40 on Mitchell in a preseason game.
|Crystal Anthony, Sr., Nature Coast
|Sharp-shooting guard with grit.
|Jasmere Brown, Jr., Hernando
|Will be the Leopards' top scoring threat.
|Shannon Zasloff, Jr., Hudson
|Plays like a 5-11 guard; shot 40 percent from 3-point range as sophomore.
Top five teams
1. Gulf
The high-low tandem of Nicole Adams and Kianna Mills should propel the Bucs to another championship season.
2. Nature Coast
The Sharks lost a lot of talent from last season's team, but expect Shareka Maner, Crystal Anthony and Alyssa Joens to play key roles.
3. Land O'Lakes
The Gators must replace all-Suncoast, all-state first-team selection Kayli Keough. Good news: Her sister Meghan is a sophomore, and pretty talented at that.
4. Wesley Chapel
The Wildcats are coming off their best record to date and their first trip to a region final. They have five new starters and new coach in Karim Nohra, a proven veteran.
5. Mitchell
New coach Jake Tavo inherits a veteran nucleus featuring twins Latrel and Lashe Kirkland.
Compiled by Times staff writers Joey Knight and Izzy Gould.
New coaches
Previous coach in parentheses
1. Jake Tavo, Mitchell (Stephanie Koslin). Ex-Mustangs assistant replaces Koslin, who gave birth during last season's district tournament.
2. Trey Crawford, Hernando Christian (Jim Bragg). Went 49-37 in three seasons as Hernando High boys coach.
3. Karim Nohra, Wesley Chapel (Warren Jones). Ex-Tampa Catholic, Cambridge coach owns 340-131 career mark.
4. Donna Masterson, River Ridge (Al Sorrentino). Springfield (Mass.) College's No. 3 all-time scorer.
5. Pete Lahey, Hernando (JoSandra Maner). Led Leopards to a pair of region finals in previous stint.
6. Randy Johnson, Bishop McLaughlin (David Cassreino). Hired roughly 10 days before start of preseason practice.
NEW PORT RICHEY — He knows the undercurrent of animosity directed at him has strengthened, again. Happens every time his roster is reinforced by transfers.
Gulf's Mike Quarto, most successful and least popular girls basketball coach in Pasco County over the last half-decade, has a clear, concise response to those who might suggest he's building his program the wrong way.
"Let's put it this way," Quarto said. "Coaches don't transfer kids. Kids don't transfer schools. Parents transfer their kids into the schools."
The local rumblings regained their intensity earlier this year when two Ridgewood players — 5-foot-11 junior forward Kianna Mills and senior guard Brittany Brosnan — enrolled at Gulf in the offseason. The two combined to average more than 12 points and nearly nine rebounds last season.
When asked about the pair's move, Rams coach Greg Bollinger was diplomatic. "I'm trying to do things the way they're supposed to be done. I can only control what happens in my little school," he said. "I have no ill feeling toward the girls."
Quarto insists the girls arrived at Gulf like most of the transfers before them: Their parents contacted athletic director Paul Girardi and filled out the necessary forms. Quarto added he had no idea they were coming to Gulf until they had enrolled.
"It's life," Quarto said, "and it's not the first transfer we've had."
Hardly. By Quarto's count, 10 players have transferred to Gulf since the start of the 2004 season. And he's not about to apologize for it. Girardi adds during Quarto's tenure, entering its sixth season, he never has been penalized or even investigated by the Florida High School Athletic Association for a recruiting infraction.
Quarto suggests the year-round program he has established, and college exposure spawned by it, recruit themselves. Four of his players have signed college scholarships.
Then there is the unprecedented success the Bucs have enjoyed on the court. This year's team, anchored by Mills down low and sophomore Nicole Adams (14.3 ppg, 5.5 apg) on the perimeter, appears poised to capture the third district title and fourth playoff berth of Quarto's tenure.
"(The rumblings) don't bother me because parents want the best for their kids," Quarto said.
"Our program runs 12 months a year. We play, including the regular season, close to 80-90 games between spring league and fall league. … Parents want the best for their kids and they want to put their kids in the best situation."

SAN MARCOS ---- A knife-wielding man robbed a cellphone store Sunday night and fled on foot with cash in a plastic shopping bag, a sheriff's lieutenant said.
About 8 p.m., a man walked into the Boost Mobile store in the 120 block of South Rancho Santa Fe Road and held an employee at knifepoint, demanding cash, said Lt. J.T. Faulkner of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department.
The man put an undisclosed amount of cash into a plastic Boost Mobile bag and fled on foot. He was described as white or Latino, in his mid-20s, about 5 feet tall with a medium build, weighing 160 pounds.
He was wearing a gray baseball cap, a red-and-blue scarf, a large gray jacket, jeans and black Nike shoes.
No one was injured in the robbery, Faulkner said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — One hundred and twenty-four middle school, high school and college-level students from across the country will participate in a History of Women in Soul Music educational program at the White House on Thursday, March 6. In conjunction with the PBS music special "Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House," First Lady Michelle Obama will host "I'm Every Woman: The History of Women in Soul," a student workshop that will take place in the State Dining Room.
The event will be produced by The GRAMMY Museum® and led by Robert Santelli, the museum's executive director. A leading musicologist and music educator, Santelli will give the participating students an overview of the origins of soul music, inform them of important artists, discuss the social climate of the United States in the 1950s and 1960s as it pertains to women's rights, and dissect the elements of soul that helped contribute to the genre's unique sound. Santelli will be joined by special music guests Patti LaBelle, Melissa Etheridge and Janelle Monáe, who will also appear in the concert later that evening under the musical direction of Greg Phillinganes. During the workshop, these artists will share their experiences and answer student questions. The White House "I'm Every Woman: The History of Women in Soul" workshop will be streamed live Thursday, March 6 at 11 a.m. ET at www.whitehouse.gov/live.
Participating students are from the following schools or programs from eleven communities: Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi; Eddyville Charter School in Eddyville, Oregon; Youth Villages in Memphis, Tennessee; YMCA of the Greater Twin Cities in Minneapolis, Minnesota; All Hallows High School in New York, New York; Youth UpRising in Oakland, California; Olney Charter High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, Maryland; Sherwood High School in Sandy Spring, Maryland; Nanakuli High and Intermediate School in Waiʻanae, Hawaiʻi; and Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D.C.
This is the seventh educational workshop at the White House that The GRAMMY Museum® has organized in cooperation with the "In Performance at the White House" concert series. Previous workshops include 2011's "The Sound of Young America: The History of Motown," 2012's "At the Crossroads: A History of the Blues in America," and 2013's "Soulsville, USA: The History of Memphis Soul." The White House "I'm Every Woman: The History of Women in Soul" workshop will be accompanied by a broader educational program, also developed by The GRAMMY Museum®, consisting of visits to Greater Washington-area institutions and a special student press conference where student journalists will be able to question production staff for articles in their school or local newspaper. The workshop will also be supplemented with a curriculum and additional educational materials from The GRAMMY Museum's education department, and the White House's live stream will be available for students from around the country to watch in their classrooms. A downloadable curriculum and educational materials for middle and high school teachers will be available at www.grammymuseum.org.
"Women of Soul: In Performance at the White House," the PBS music special in the East Room of the White House, will be taped the same day the workshop takes place. The program will be a celebration of American women artists whose work has left an indelible and profound impact on our national musical culture, across Blues, Jazz, Soul, Rhythm and Blues and Rock and Roll. The evening will pay homage to trailblazing female artists and their memorable songs.
President and Mrs. Obama will host the concert on Thursday, March 6. The all-star event will include performances by Tessanne Chin, Melissa Etheridge, Aretha Franklin, Ariana Grande, Patti LaBelle, Janelle Monáe and Jill Scott, with Greg Phillinganes as music director.

As the Digital Media Manager for TerraCycle I have come to realize a very important truth. This truth is that social media is a reflection of one's social skills. Whether your social media is for a company, a non-profit, or for personal use, the way it's delivered is in direct proportion to ones social skills or what I like to call "Social IQ".
Have you noticed that there are certain people who are brilliant and may be able to answer complicated math problems in their head, but cannot understand how to relate to a friend, co-worker, or family member. Why does this happen? It's because ones intellect does not develop ones social intelligence. Just like anything else this skill must be developed not inherited. A great quote from the book, "Why Smart People Do Dumb Things" states "While having knowledge is a valuable asset not having social attributes many times leads smart people to do stupid things."
A person's social intelligence in their actual social life will directly mirror their success on social media. Socializing is not new; just the platforms we are using to socialize on are new. The companies, brands, and individuals that recognize that they must apply real life social skills to their social networks will be the most successful.
Those who try to apply completely technical based efforts will be creating a sphere of bots instead of an interactive online community. Social Media is comprised of people and people have real human needs. According to a study conducted by the Michael Education Foundation there are nine Basic Human needs. They are Security, adventure, freedom, exchange, power, acceptance, community, and expression. Of these nine needs 3 of these needs are commonly fulfilled through social networks: exchange, community, and expression.
If a person that understands the mechanics of human social needs mixed with the ability to relate to others they will be more effective in the social media realm. Those on social networks like Facebook and Twitter want to be treated as people not just an audience to be marketed to. So applying the habits of real life social skills will help one avoid the strictly promotional tone.
Those that understand the dynamics of people and general social skills will see that echoed on their social media networks. For example when I am having a face to face conversation with someone the first thing I do is introduce myself and tell them its nice to meet you. On a social network this same principle should apply if someone on Twitter becomes a fan they should be instantly greeted or receive a welcome.
On the Twitter account that I manage every single person that becomes a follower on our Twitter page is greeted and welcomed for becoming one of our followers. (Showing the mechanics of how this is done would be an entire new blog post) When someone asks a question on our Facebook page the first thing I do is greet them with a salutation and responding back to them with their name. Next I proceed to answer their question or comment. These sound like simple things everyone should know but not everybody pays attention to their social IQ on social networks. Sometimes we can be so concerned about getting what we want and neglect listening for the needs of others. Remember that most people come to social networks for their needs (Exchange, Community, and Expression) not ours but as we take care of their needs they will take care of ours.

Jesús Villa-Rojo is one of Spain's most impressive contemporary composers, and writes masterfully for the cello. The taut, meditative Oración serena, with its expressive depth, is dedicated to the victims of the terrorist attacks in Madrid in 2004. From the same year comes the seven-movement suite Expresiones for solo cello, a work that charts a narrative course between confl ict and aching lyricism. Lamento is music of timbre-conscious colour, employing fl amenco song forms in the subtlest ways, whilst the Cello Sonata moves through an intense emotional landscape ranging from a chorale to deep introspection. Cellist Asier Polo is closely identified with this music and is "as authoritative as could be".
