Katy Perry's parents want her to date Tim Tebow
BANG Showbiz
Published Friday, January 13, 2012 2:00PM EST
Katy Perry's parents want her to date religious NFL star Tim Tebow.
The 'Firework' singer only split from husband Russell Brand in December, but her Christian pastor parents, Mary and Keith Hudson, believe the Denver Broncos player can help heal her broken heart.
A source told the New York Daily Post newspaper: "Katy's mentioned on more than one occasion how much she likes Tim.
"Katy's mom firmly believes the best cure for heartache is to quickly fall in love again. In her mind, Tebow is the perfect guy for her daughter. He's handsome, charming, intelligent and above all, a good Christian."
Russell, 36, filed for divorce on Dec. 30 after just 14 months of marriage, and it has been speculated one of the reasons for their split could be because he is not Christian and kept making jokes about the family's faith.
Last year, Katy said: "Russell has made very blasphemous jokes in the past, but he's making fewer all the time because he knows that I am very sensitive about this subject."
Russell - who has been treated for sex addiction and drug abuse - is a practising Buddhist and has said it helped him overcome his wild past.
He said: "I'm quite a neurotic thinker, quite an adrenalized person. But after meditation, I felt this beautiful serenity and selfless connection. My tendency towards selfishness, I felt that exposed as a superficial and pointless perspective to have."

The nights 12-round main event will be an IBF Super Featherweight Championship fight between champion Argenis Mendez (21-2-1, 11 KOs) of Brooklyn, New York via San Juan, Dominican Republic vs. #1-ranked undefeated challenger Rances Kid Blast Barthelemy (19-0, 12 KOs) from Miami, via Cuba.
And in the 10-round televised semi-final, USBA Middleweight Champion Caleb Golden Truax (23-1, 4 KOs) of Osseo, Minnesota, will face former USBA Champion Derek Pooh Ennis (23-4-1, 13 KOs) of Philadelphia in a 10-round non-title bout.

27-year-old Mendez will be making the second defense of his IBF title he won in March of this year with a KO 4 over Juan Carlos Salgado. The victory over Salgado also avenged one of only two defeats Mendez has suffered in his distinguished career. He was last seen in the ring fighting to a majority draw against Arash Usmanee in August. Mendez was a 2004 Olympian and previously held the USBA Super Featherweight (2010) and WBA Fedelatin Super Featherweight (2008) Titles.
27-year-old Barthelemy earned his #1 ranking with a KO 2 over Thailands Fahsai Sakkreerin last June. Before that, he took a unanimous decision over Arash Usmanee in January.

30-year-old Truax has had a sensational 2013. Fighting out of the Convention Center in Minneapolis, Truax has vanquished two local rivals (UD 10 over Matt Vanda and TKO 4 over Ceresso Fort) and scored a nationally televised TKO 6 over world-rated Donovan George. The victory over Fort garnered him the USBA and Minnesota State Championships. Truaxs only career loss was to world champion Jermain Taylor and Truax had Taylor down in round nine.
33-year-old Ennis is a former USBA and Pennsylvania State Champion. He won the USBA Jr. Middleweight title in October 2009 by unanimous decision in an unforgettable war against Eromosele Albert and defended it successfully via 12-round majority decision over the formidable Gabriel Rosado in 2010 He most recently fought to a close majority decision loss to world-rated contender Jonathan Gonzalez. Enniss brother, Farah, is a well-regarded super middleweight contender and his father, Derrick Bozy Ennis, was also a pro fighter.

Here's a surprise: Idaho Governor Dirk Kempthorne, President Bush's nominee to succeed Gale Norton as Interior secretary, likely will face questions about the ongoing rewrite of the National Park Service's Management Policies.
Representative Norman Dicks of Washington touched on that expectation during a discussion of the National Park Service's budget woes. The Democrat took a moment away from the budget discussions Wednesday to quiz NPS Director Fran Mainella on the state of the revisions.
"What is going on here?" he asked after citing a Denver Post editorial that called on Mr. Kempthorne to scrap the rewrite. "I think this is going to be a major issue in Governor Kempthorne's confirmation hearing."
Director Mainella, though, reiterated her long-standing belief that the uproar over the rewrite is nothing but a media manifestation and that nothing in the rewrite will open the parks to adverse impacts.
The NPS director added that during the coming weeks the proposed revisions, and public comment about them, will be digested by the Park Service's Career Leadership Team, which will craft yet another version that will be reviewed by NPS employees and the National Park Service Advisory Board. That review will lead to a final version ready for NPS and Interior Department approval, said Ms. Mainella.
While Congressman Dicks pressed the director to hold another public comment period on that final version before it's approved, she maintained that the Management Policies are an internal document. While she never directly answered his question about another public comment period, Director Mainella did say the agency would go over the evolving document with groups such as the National Parks Conservation Association.

Product Description
Harrison Ellenshaw "The River Indre Near Regnac" is a fine art limted editon of only 195 giclee on canvas. 18x20 Harrison Ellenshaw's foray into the art world began at age four, in England, when he sat at the foot of the easel of his famous father, renowned artist Peter Ellenshaw. Harrison, even at this very early age, showed an incredible enthusiasm, aptitude and talent for oil painting. By the time he was a teenager he had become an accomplished artist often imitating his father's seascapes, reflecting the deft touch needed to recreate, as realistically as possible, the power and solemnity of nature. After a stint in the Navy, where he made extensive tours of Asia and the Pacific, Harrison Ellenshaw added photography to his array of skills, leading him to work at the Disney studios learning the craft of visual effects. It was there as a matte painter, that Harrison Ellenshaw, once again following in his father's footsteps, further refined his sensibilities as an artist. With significant work on major motion pictures including: STAR WARS, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK and TRON,Harrison Ellenshaw helped blaze new trails in the looks of futuristic and fantastical worlds. Even so, his gallery artwork remained grounded in a lyrical reflection of the real world. It was Harrison Ellenshaw's visual effects work on the 1990 release of DICK TRACY that firmly established him as a leader and innovator par excellence in the field. One of the commonalities between film and painting is the necessity to establish a third dimension in a two dimensions medium; Harrison Ellenshaw has accomplished this illusion deftly and impressively. He brings to his paintings a facile and dynamic use of color reminiscent of the Fauves and Expressionists. With a diverse subject matter and high-key palette, his landscapes, cityscapes and riverscapes create a new approach to realism. His works have a resonance, and inner radiance fashioned with a brush alive to new possibilities and horizons. Lifelong travels abroad in Europe and throughout the Southwest of America have continually expanded Harrison Ellenshaw's visual horizons—leading him to the colorful and dynamic works we see today. Harrison Ellenshaw's work has been exhibited at the prestigious Hammer Galleries in New York as well as galleries in London and San Francisco. Harrison Ellenshaw "The river Indre Near Regnac"

A town councillor who drew up a business plan for loss-making Keighley Civic Centre has criticised proposals to spend thousands of pounds on a consultant to review the document.
Councillor Peter Corkindale, chairman of the civic centre committee, argued the cash would be better spent elsewhere.
But Coun Gary Pedley, vice-chairman of the council's finance and audit committee, responded: "Councillor Corkindale did produce a business plan, but there are some gross inaccuracies in terms of income generated from the [civic centre] cafe.
"We thought that bringing in a business consultant with a business mind would enable us to get a better idea of how we could reduce the burden on the taxpayer over the coming years."
Coun Corkindale said he had been asked to produce the business plan about six months ago, to help ensure the town council-run premises could be a viable venture.
As of May 2013, the civic centre was £162,000 in the red, which had prompted a record 72.6 per cent hike in the council tax precept to cover the bill.
The town council's 2012-13 accounts are currently subject to an investigation by London-based accountancy firm PKF Littlejohn.
Commenting at last Thursday's town council meeting, he said: "I notice we are securing the services of a business consultant to look at the business plan – this is going to cost us £7,500 for something I did free of charge."
He pointed out that 12 months ago, the civic centre committee had been tasked with generating £37,000 from the North Street-based centre for the coming civic year. He noted that with only a month to go, he and his colleagues were just £1,400 short of this target.
"Why has the finance committee taken it upon themselves to do this without one word of consultation with either myself or members of my committee?" he asked.
Coun Pedley said he understood the civic centre committee had been made aware of the finance and audit committee's intention to bring in a consultant.
He added that the £7,500 to pay the consultant mentioned by Coun Corkindale was just one quote, which had not yet been accepted.
Coun Graham Mitchell successfully recommended the chairmen of the civic centre and finance and audit committees meet with each other to discuss the issue before reporting back to the full council.

On a GAAP basis, noninterest income of $91.8 million declined $10.4 million from the prior quarter. Prior quarter results included a $5.3 million gain recognized on the sale of $3.1 billion in CMOs in the second quarter.Noninterest Expense Fourth quarter non-GAAP operating noninterest expenses were $235.1 million, decreasing $2.0 million, or 1%, compared to the third quarter, driven by the initial impact of the company's workforce optimization initiative in the third quarter. The benefit of the resulting $4.5 million decrease in salaries and benefits was minimized by seasonal increases in occupancy expenses. Excluding the additional $3.4 million in additional premium amortization recognized in the fourth quarter, the efficiency ratio of 64.6% was comparable to 64.7% in the prior quarter. On a GAAP basis, noninterest expense for the fourth quarter was $238.8 million, including $3.7 million in restructuring charges. Capital At December 31, 2012, the company's estimated consolidated Total Risk Based capital and Tier 1 Common Risk Based capital ratios were 11.2% and 7.5% respectively.

3 years ago I had Juvederm injections with no problems. Last year I tried Perlane in the tear troughs and had a reaction 3 months later. It swelled up and my doctor used hyaluronidase injections to dissolve it. I had 2 Juverderm skin tests on my arm without reaction so I decided to try it again. I developed hives almost immediately after she put the numbing cream on my face. Do you think it's safe to try the Juvederm without topical lidocaine? Thank you!
Is It Safe to Try Juvederm if I Have an Allergy to Topical Lidocaine and Possibly Perlane?
Doctor Answers 1
Is It Safe to Try Juvederm if I Have an Allergy to Topical Lidocaine and Possibly Perlane
My gut reaction is that you are allergic to all lidocaine - whether it's in a topical format or a suspended format, like the XC or L versions of injectables. Both Juvederm and Perlane are available in formats that don't have lidocaine with them at all so they are just hyaluronic acid. I have seen one other person in my office with this problem and she had no problems when we used the injectable without the lidocaine premixed in, avoided any topicals, and used Marcaine instead of lidocaine to do a dental block. So, it's going to be your call as to what you wish to do, but I would suggest you steer clear of any topical lidocaine or suspended lidocaine products.

Shotgun chamber recess??
I have a 410 shotgun and it has a "recessed" 3" chamber--What I mean is the chamber is larger than the bore. None of my other 12 ga have this feature.
What is this type of chamber called?
Why is it made that way?
How does it affect performance?
Thanks for any help
Willing to bet you that ALL your shotguns have that- but in the .410, the size makes the difference more apparent to the eye.
The diameter of the chamber is larger than the diameter of the bore. In front of the chamber is a tapered section, known as the forcing cone. When a shotshell fires, it opens OUT into the bore. The space with the forcing cone gives room for that to happen- otherwise you get one hell of a pressure spike- bad ju-ju.
Think about it for a second- shot sits in a shot cup inside the shell. Inside of the shell HAS to be smaller than outside- thickness of the shell wall on each side. The bore will be diameter that the shot cup will fit. CHAMBER has to be larger for shell to fit.
Got it-- is there any real differences if one fired a 2 3/4 shell in a 3 inch chamber? It would seem that the shot would have to "jump" over a gap.
Maybe I'm over thinking something that only a minor issue
No problems using the 2 3/4" shells. Shoot all you like..
In shotguns, it never hurts anything when you fire a shorter shell in a longer chamber. The only thing is if it's an semi-auto it may not function in the case of firing a light 2 3/4" (2 1/2" in 410) shell in a 3 1/2" chamber (3" in 410). The listed length of shotgun shells is measured AFTER firing-not before. This is what gives the shell room in the chamber to open up upon firing along with the larger chamber diameter.
Thanks to all for the replies

She had 365 days to turn into a perfect newborn, and came out like a whistling torpedo.
One of Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's bottlenose dolphins, Bella, birthed her first calf just before noon on Jan. 9 -- the second female dolphin born at the park in the past nine years. Initially, the calf's gender was unclear, but officials have made a positive visual confirmation in recent days.
Documentation of the mother and daughter's special communication habits has caused something of a stir for the park,.
"The calf (Mirabella) came out talking," said park reproductive physiologist Holley Muraco during a special media viewing of the newborn Friday at the Vallejo theme park. "Their bond has developed nice and strongly."
Of particular note was that Bella was vocalizing a "signature whistle" dolphins use to greet newcomers or communicate with offspring. Only , she was doing it alone in her tank, with only unborn baby Mirabella to hear, Muraco said.
Park officials say Bella is the first dolphin to be recorded and observed communicating to her unborn fetus. Muraco said that this could be standard dolphin behavior, but the precocious Bella was whistling above water, where humans could hear and take note of the unusual "conversation" she was having with herself.
Ever since, an underwater recording device -- a hydrophone -- has been capturing the dolphins' communications. A speaker amplifying the chatter served as a backdrop to Friday's viewing.
More a badge of honor than a duty, park Marine Mammal Supervisor Sara Wielandt settled into her shift of front-row underwater viewing of the pair's activities Friday.
Bella continuously circled her tank at a quick clip, Mirabella caught in an invisible "slip stream" that held her tightly at her side with little effort on the calf's part. The two showed off for visitors, regularly surfacing near cameras and displaying their dorsal fins on their route.
Every breath of air, every squeaky baby whistle, every moment spent nursing or wandering off from mom -- Wielandt documented it all on a small electronic tablet. The mother-and-daughter duo have been under continuous surveillance since a week before the birth, and likely will be for up to a week more, officials said.
Park visitors will have an opportunity to view the dolphins beginning Jan. 25 and 26.
Data from their activities is compared with other facilities housing dolphins, in order to check for normalcy in behavior.
"We're excited. She's (Bella's) just the coolest dolphin," Muraco, nearby, praised the older mammal, calling the calf "vocal" and "tough." "Just being able to see how she is as a mom and comparing her with the data ..."
The dolphin calf's name emerged from group consensus within park staff, and translates to "lovely and wondrous" in Italian, said park spokeswoman Nancy Chan.

To Columnist Joseph Kraft, "President Nixon is risking almost everything to gain practically nothing" because the best the Administration can achieve is a "fig leaf for defeat." On the same day's Washington Post op-edit page, Rowland Evans and Robert Novak called the President's latest move "dangerously high-risk poker," but speculated that the pot could be rewarding in two ways: by thwarting a fresh Communist offensive in the fall while keeping the Russians far enough below the boiling point to save a Moscow-Washington agreement on nuclear-arms limitations. The Washington Star, meanwhile, declared that "the Rubicon is crossed"; therefore, "the place of this...

In regard to waterlily...well, everyone's hair reacts differently - and you know the old saying, those who can't do, teach! ROFL! That aside, she does have lovely hair and good tips. It is true the Sally's Conditioning balm has no protein. I tried the actual Matrix one and was unimpressed - it did nothing for me, personally, but many curlies do swear by the balm.
I coloured my hair once with semi-permanent colour (Garnier brand) and it damned near killed my hair. It's taken three months to recover and I am never doing it again! Long live grey!
ETA I intended no harm to waterlily with the above line, I was just joking. I love her vids and I think I have watched every single one of them, just because I think she is sweet and she has rocking awesome hair
She cheers me up!
Finer, mixed with coarser strands, low-porosity, wavy curly whirly hair...3A, 2C hair. Medium thickness, medium elasticity.
S-shaped hair with corkscrew ends. My hair is even more confused than me ;p
My hair officially hates protein
Once a month is enough!
Currently a fan of TiGi products, (rock on, TiGi Curlesque styling creme!) but that will soon change - I am a self-avowed product junkie! Yay!
BIG fan of supersoaker method - thanks Rudeechick!

Seward Named Ncoil President
ONEONTA, 11/28/2008 -- State Senator James Seward has been named the new president of the National Conference of Insurance Legislators (NCOIL).
NCOIL is a bipartisan organization of state legislators whose main area of public policy interest is insurance legislation and regulation. Most legislators active in NCOIL either chair or are members of the committees responsible for insurance legislation in their respective state houses across the country.
Senator Seward said, "There is no question that as we go through the next year, the financial meltdown is overshadowing just about everything in our personal lives, our financial lives, the priorities of NCOIL, and, of course, our states."
He stated, "We have to look out for our constituents—the insurance consumers of our various states—as well as our insurance markets and the companies that provide insurance products to our consumers and provide employment for our constituents."
In commenting further on his upcoming tenure, Seward pledged to continue educating Members of Congress regarding the strengths of the state-based regulatory system. He said that NCOIL would continue to promote state-based modernization efforts regarding speed-to-market, market conduct, and producer licensing, among other things. He also noted that he looked forward to new NCOIL investigations into the use of education and occupation in underwriting personal lines insurance; credit default swap regulation; crop insurance adjustor licensing; and healthcare reform strategies.
Seward added, "As president of NCOIL, I will continue the fight for affordable health insurance, as well as making sure the insurance industry remains a competitive player in the employment market."
As his first duty as president, Senator Seward announced 2009 committee chair appointments which include fellow New York legislators Senator Neil Breslin as chairman of NCOIL-NAIC Liason, and Assemblyman Joseph Morelle as chairman of Financial Services & Investment Products

Lord God! A 10th Anniversary Edition
It have been 10 years since the original publication of the award-winning book, The Race to Save the Lord God Bird. Much has happened since including… "[Gene] Sparling was puzzled. Why would anyone look for Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in Arkansas? Ivory-bills were birds of Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana—the Deep South. For the first time, now a full week after his sighting, Sparling cracked open his old field guide and discovered that Arkansas was part of the Ivory-bill's historic range. "That hit me hard," he recalled. "It was then that I realized I actually had seen an Ivory-bill."...Read More
Hoose Books for Adults or Young Adults?
This Q&A was excerpted from Jeannette Larson's interview with author Phillip Hoose for BookLinks. Within the interview, Phil answers the frequently asked question of who his audience is, adult or young adult. BookLinks: Most of your books are published for young people, but the information is so extensive that they're also perfect for most adults. What makes your books, like Moonbird, for example, a book for children? Phillip Hoose: Well, I don't write for children. I write for myself; I write for my inner Phil, and that person has no age. I try to write good books for good...Read More
Moonbird Honored with Green Earth Award
Phillip Hoose has been once again honored with a Green Earth Book Award. The award is the nation's first environmental stewardship book award for children and young adult books. Over 80 winning and honor books have been honored since 2005 including Hoose's Hey, Little Ant and The Race to Save the Lord God Bird.

Lord God Bird Named "Exemplar" in Common Core
The upcoming Common Core standards have created a healthy debate amongst educators about the role of non-fiction in the classroom. The Common Core English Language Arts standards, now adopted in 45 states, are calling for elementary students to be reading 50% non-fiction with that percentage building to 70% by the conclusion of high school. On one side English teachers justifiably fear that the new standards will mean cutting back on fiction, poetry, and drama. On the other side teachers of all disciplines are welcoming the new attention payed to the renaissance of excellent non-fiction...Read More

Hard disk drive (HDD) vendor Maxtor will whisk its partners and customers away from the hustle and bustle of the GITEX exhibition floor this year. The company plans to use the relative calm of an executive suite at Emirates Tower Hotel as the location where it will explain its transition into a 'market-focused company'.
Maxtor's 'market-focused' ethos is founded on the belief that the storage industry has reached a critical inflection point and is no longer just about the technology. Maxtor has instead committed its time, efforts and R&D money to the development of 'market driven' products, services and programmes. Maxtor will also officially open its regional office at Dubai Internet City on October 5th.
Maxtor is pushing hard to expand outside the traditional HDD vendor customer base consisting of PC assemblers. External HDD devices are opening up retail channels for vendors such as Maxtor and the emergence of digital entertainment devices is also creating a new market to sell into.

More Maps of Rio De Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro :
Rio de Janeiro, also referred as Rio, is Brazil's second biggest city and is the capital of the state with the same name. UNESCO designated a part of this city as a World Heritage Site on July 2012.
Rio has been Brazil's capital for about two centuries. The country's second largest and world's 30th largest GDP is generated by Rio.
Rio's harbour has an exceptional ocean entry which appears like the river's mouth. It is located on the strip of Atlantic Coast of Brazil. Additionally, the marina is encircled by splendid rocky mountains and hills of Sugar Loaf, Corcovado Peak and Tijuca hills. These features collectively contribute in making this natural beauty as one of world's seven natural wonders.
The city's population is around 11 million to 13.5 million and is spread in an area of approximately 1,183 sq km. The people living in the city are called cariocas.
How to visit :
Rio, being one of the biggest transportation hubs of the country, is well connected from various countries and cities.
Galeão - Antônio Carlos Jobim International Airport, referred as Galeão International Airport connects both domestic as well as international flights. The airport is located 20 kilometres away from Rio and the prime hotels. Another airport is Santos Dumont Airport is located near Guanabara Bay. One can get air-conditioned buses from the airport's arrival section between 5:30am and 10pm every 30 minutes.
Reaching the city by train is a little unlikely. The Central do Brasil (Central Station) serves the local commuters mostly. One can prefer the long-distance bus services for the journey. Apart from these, one can get the car facility on rent as the city is well connected by roads. The city has ferries, called as barcas, which connects the cities nearby like Niteroi.
When to visit :
The city is welcoming year round. Anytime that suits an individual can turn out to be the best time of the year to visit Rio. The city has a moderate temperature all around the year. However, some seasons are better suited.
The summers begin from December and go up till mid-March, where December and January are the hottest (40º C). One can experience the summer showers every afternoon. This is considered as the best vacation time as the Carnival and New Years Eve comes around this time.
The winters last for three months – July, August and September. The temperature ranges between 24ºC and 15ºC. The spring lasts for only two months – September and October – with the temperature ranging around 26ºC. The autumn stays from April to May and June (26ºC).
Culture (Fairs and Festivals) and Traditions :
Rio is Brazil's cultural hub. The city has a number of architectural significances like churches and structures around 16th and 19th centuries old. These buildings blend very well with all the newly-made structures. The imperial family of Portuguese are said to have stayed in the city and hence the architecture is greatly influenced by Portuguese, French and English.
The city is well known for several cultural landmarks such as National Museum of Brazil, Theatro do Rio, Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden, National Museum of Fine Arts, Natural History Museum, Brazilian Academy of Letters, Imperial Square and many more. It also has the world's seven largest library Biblioteca Nacional with more than 9 million items.
Every year on the New Years' Eve, a huge gathering takes place at the Copacabana Beach. The crowd of around 2.5 million people are seen dressed in pearl white clothes and celebrating with chilled champagne with along the beach. However, Rio is mostly visited by people to attend the Carnaval. The party goes on for around two weeks at a stretch. Around 100 samba schools are seen parading on the Sambadrome and streets in every neighbourhood.
Rio has very good road connectivity. One can move around the city in a cab. The cabs have a yellow base colour with blue stripe on sides. The fare per kilometre is not very expensive, but the distance can be a lot. One car can accommodate four people. The cabs can provide city tours too for a fixed price. The taxi companies are Yellow Taxi, Central de Taxi and Ouro Taxi.
One can also rent cars to cover the closer distances in the city. Maps would prove to be extremely helpful in this case. The other options for transportation are buses. The buses have a good frequency and are also high in number. The journey in buses is shorter as most roads have proper designated lanes for buses. Rio's south zone has the best bus service.
One can also use the metro for a pleasant travel. Conga is one mode of transport which has a proper and affordable transport option in Rio.
Places to Visit :
The beaches are the best about this city. The clean water and sand can make any person feel peaceful. Some oceanic beaches are Leme, Vermelha, Copacabana, Arpoador, Ipanema, Leblon, Barra da Tijuca, São Conrado, Recreio dos Bandeirantes, Abricó and Grumari, and the bay beaches are Ramos, Flamengo, Botafogo and Urca.
Rio's official nudist beach is Abricó near Grumari beach. One can also visit the Praia da Moreninha beach on Guanabara Bay. One can also go see the world's biggest stadium Maracanã stadium.
A couple of places worth watching are Christ the Redeemer Statue, Corcovado, Pão de Açúcar, Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas, Sugar Loaf Maracanã, Parque Lage, Jardim Botanico, etc. One can enjoy the paragliding, hang gliding, trekking, hiking, etc in this city too. One can also go for the panoramic flights in the helicopters.
Accommodation :
One can get the fanciest accommodation and a variety of hotels in Zona Sul which are along Ipanema beach and Copacabana beach. However, a number of cheap and economical hotels can also be found in and around Catete and Flamengo.
Moreover, getting a cheap accommodation in the city is unlikely. However, one can see a huge difference in prices during the Carnaval and New Year. One can also look at cheap motels options at the outskirts of the city.

As we reported in June this year the UK government announced its plans to invest in alternative funding. Their reason for doing this was because of the continuing issues around start-ups and small businesses accessing funding from the banks and other traditional sources. In June the government talked about funding invoice factoring through websites like Market Invoice and funding peer to peer lending through websites like Funding Circle. They have now decided where the money is actually going to go.
Since June it appears the government has fallen out of love with invoice factoring and is now going to concentrate its funding on peer to peer websites and boutique funding houses. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills announced yesterday that they are splitting £55 million in funding between four companies. £30 million will be split between peer 2 peer lending sites Funding Circle and Zopa while the remaining £25 million will go to boutique lenders Boost&co and Credit Asset Management.
It is unclear at the moment how much help this funding will be to start-ups. Funding Circle currently deal mainly with established SMEs while Zopa currently specialise in personal loans. Credit Asset Management, as their name suggests mainly deal with financing based on a business's assets while Boost&co are an unknown quantity. The £55 million in funding the government are offering is therefore likely to benefit established SMEs to start with.
Although Peer 2 Peer lending has the government's seal of approval it is not really regulated. In theory some of the activities the crowdfunding and Peer 2 Peer lending sites engage in fall under the remit of the FSA but most websites are not FSA approved or registered. Rather they word their terms and conditions in such a way as to fly under the radar. Currently the only crowdfunding or Peer 2 Peer lending site that is FSA regulated is Seedrs. However plans have been leaked this week for the new Financial Conduct Authority, which will replace the FSA, to regulate Peer 2 Peer and crowdfunding sites from mid-2014. There are no details yet on what this regulation will look like or what impact it will have on the availability of funds to start-ups and small businesses.

Girls' Night Out
Teedra Moses grew up studying her mother, a successful gospel singer on the church revival circuit. She grew up listening to gospel on the radio in her mother's car and jamming to Luther Vandross. Later, she graduated to every young girl's first love: Prince. Moses studied Prince songs like calculus problems, writing her own lyrics over his music. She was also a student of Rakim, the legendary hip-hop MC. She practiced his flow and memorized his raps. Then she dropped verbal bombs at family get-togethers in her hometown of New Orleans.
Moses moved with her mother and siblings to Los Angeles as a teenager and eventually took a job as a stylist. L.A. revealed the glamorous side of the music business, which attracted Moses. She had been contemplating entering the biz when the hand of fate pushed a little. While working on the set of Crazy Town's "Butterfly" video, Moses fell down a steep hill and shattered her femur. "I took it as a sign," Moses laughs, "that I shouldn't be so complacent."
It's hard to believe that Moses didn't consider herself a singer until two years ago. "I sang, but I never thought I was any good at it," she says. She began working with producer Pauli Pol (best-known for his work with Black Eyed Peas) to incorporate the many musical lessons she received. It's this medley of gospel, hip-hop, and '80s R&B that sounds so sweet on Moses' debut album, Complex Simplicity.

Released in August on TVT Records (home to Miami's Pitbull and human car alarm Lil' Jon), Simplicity is a lyrically honest platter of songs about love, love, lust, love, and loss. And a little more love. The single "Be Your Girl" is a midtempo jam about the beginnings of a "silly crush" that leaves a girl "Holding my pillow tight/Sometimes I even touch myself." The song "Caution" is a rollicking, Prince-tinged classic that warns "When I see something I want, then I just take it and make it mine/I lick my lips, and then I think about how sweet it is to be me/So to date me must be hot."

When asked about her straight-forward and unabashedly sexual approach to writing, Moses is thankful she can be free without being labeled the next this or that or subscribing to a certain image of divaness. "I hooked up with TVT because they were about me being Teedra," she says. "I can only be Teedra."
One of the standout tracks on Simplicity is "You Better Tell Her," a Lil' Jon-produced, girls-night-out shit-starter about standing up to a no-good Lothario: "If I'm believing what I hear is true/Then there's a broad 'round town that's claiming you/And listen, daddy, I'm too cute to fight/You better get that bitch told tonight."
"I had a woman come up to me after a show, and she said, 'That song is the new anthem for women,'" Teedra says with pride. "It's really just about coming to the realization that your man, your boyfriend, you know... he's not always going to be truthful. And sometimes, you don't get out of [the relationship] when you should. I didn't. I didn't 20 times around. So I'm just being honest, ya know? If I'm in the street and it gets back to me, I don't want to hear about it again."
The last song on the album, "I Think of You," is Moses' tribute to her late mother, Shirley. At the beginning of the song, Moses admits that she was supposed to sing this song at her mother's funeral but was too broken up. She then testifies Southern gospel-style, tearing into a vertebrae-tingling, goose-bump-wrangling moment of witness that would make baby Jesus cry.
The title of her album couldn't be more right. Moses combines gut-busting Southern feeling with slinky R&B that won't be relegated to MTV's 15 minutes of TRL fame. Her education has served her well.

Biologist Leads Group That Mapped Crocodilian Genomes
Understanding these reptiles' genome can help scientists better understand birds.
A Texas Tech University biologist led a team of more than 50 scientists who mapped the genomes of three crocodilians.
By mapping these genomes, scientists may better understand the evolution of birds, which are the toothy predators' closest living relatives, said David Ray, an associate professor of biology. The team completed genomes of a crocodile, an alligator and a true gharial to complete the genomic family portrait.
Their research, largely funded by the National Science Foundation, will appear Friday (Dec. 12) in the peer-reviewed journal, Science.
"One of the major finds in our case was that crocodilian genomes change very slowly when compared to birds," Ray said. "We compared both birds and crocodilians to turtles, which are the closest living relatives of the group that includes both birds and crocodilians. We found that they evolved slowly also. The best explanation for this is that the common ancestor of all three was a 'slow evolver,' which in turn suggests that rapid evolution is something that evolved independently in birds."

Kids get tons of candy and toys at Kirksville's Easter egg hunt
Sun, 08 Apr 2012 01:00:09 GMT —
It was a mad dash for free candy at Kirksville's 34th annual Easter egg hunt. Within ten minutes, the kids collected all of their eggs and were onto taking pictures with the Easter bunny.
Organizers said they unloaded six 60 gallon totes full of plastic eggs onto Truman State's quad. The eggs were filled with candy, and this year, special toys such as bouncy balls, silly bands, and stickers.
"This is the first year that I've ever seen it rain on the Easter egg hunt but we still had a good turn out; we still had fun," said Robin Harden, a recreation specialist for the City of Kirksville.
"We had a lot of great volunteers this year, almost more than ever before."
Harden said Truman State's Women of Cardinal Key helped out with the event.

Sometimes the stock market talks to us but we don't listen.
Years ago a grizzled, old stockbroker — my Dad — put it this way to me: There is always a message in the market, but most people don't hear it. So now when writing about big moves in the market, my first question to analysts often is simply: What's the message of the market today?
Admittedly, some analysts are better than others at discerning the message of the market. Some never get it right; others rarely get it wrong. I mention this because I think the market has been trying to tell us something for at least a year now, but many people refuse to hear.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index soared 16 percent last year and is up another 14 percent this year — this after being basically flat in 2011. Hardly a day passes that I don't hear one or more of the so-called Wall Street savants on CNBC attributing much of this advance to the massive liquidity injections from the Federal Reserve.
It's true that these cash infusions into the banking system have pushed interest rates down — and that helps stock prices — but the market is trying to tell us something more important than that.
I would submit that the message of this market is that investor confidence and some semblance of emotional health is finally returning.
James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis, said that after the 2008 financial collapse investors became "obsessed with unrealistic, calamity scenarios and had symptoms of Armageddon psychosis."
They recoiled from the market because they were afraid of another bank failure, the collapse of the European Union, dimwits in Congress, massive municipal bond defaults or whatever.
"In 2008, the market was priced for the end of the world, but that didn't happen," Paulsen said. "The driving force behind the stock market since 2011 has been a slow but steady recovery from the psychological depths of investors' despair."
Can I get an amen to that? Stocks were priced as if Armageddon were at hand, but what we got instead was just some sluggish economic growth of about 2 percent annually — not that good but considerably better than the end of the world.
Evidence of growing investor confidence can be seen at every turn. Let's start with the most recent report from the Conference Board's survey of consumer confidence. It rose from 69 in April to 76.2 in May, its highest level in five years. Earlier in this recovery, consumer confidence was at its lowest level since World War II.
Also, the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index, released Friday, rose to its highest level since July 2007.
These are not just esoteric economic statistics. They are important because consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of the nation's economic activity.
Increased confidence has apparently spurred people to spend more on housing, for example. Home prices jumped 10.9 percent for the year that ended in March, which was the biggest rise in seven years.
Paulsen listed a litany of other economic and financial issues that all reflect increased confidence. The unemployment rate is slowly, but assuredly, coming down; banks are lending more; and money flows into stock mutual funds finally turned positive this year after almost two years of outflows.
Also, bond yields are finally starting to move higher as fear subsides and investor demand for fixed-income assets decreases. Just since May 3, the yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond has jumped from 1.63 percent to 2.12 percent. As yields rise, bond prices drop and that hasn't happened in years.
It's interesting to note that throughout this bull market, corporate earnings growth has been robust. Earnings have never been the problem. Confidence has.
Stock prices are a function of both earnings and what investors are willing to pay for those earnings. In 2011, when stock prices hardly budged, earnings were fine, but investors were cowed by all the perceived bad news. They refused to pay for those earnings in the form of higher stock prices.
The most common measure of stock valuation — stock price-to-earnings ratio — eroded throughout all of 2011. The p/e of the S&P 500 dropped that year from about 16 times earnings to below 12 times.
It's a much different picture now as p/e levels have been steadily rising over the past year and currently reside at about 15. In other words, as investors have become more confident, they are willing to pay more for corporate earnings.
Even though confidence is improving, it still has a long way to go before it reaches the level of cockiness that often ushers in recessions. As long as inflation remains quiescent, the long-term prospects for the stock market are positive.
That's the message of the market.

text: Overview By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Vision with macular degenerationVision with macular degenerationAs macular degeneration develops, clear, normal vision (shown left) becomes impaired by a general haziness. With advanced macular degeneration, a blind spot typically forms at the center of your visual field (shown right). Dry macular degeneration is a common eye disorder among people over 65. It causes blurred or reduced central vision, due to thinning of the macula (MAK-u-luh). The macula is the part of the retina responsible for clear vision in your direct line of sight. Dry macular degeneration may first develop in one eye and then affect both. Over time your vision worsens, which may affect your ability to do things such as read, drive and recognize faces. But this doesn't mean you'll lose all of your sight. Early detection and self-care measures may delay vision loss due to dry macular degeneration.

Disappointing hotel with a great view
the room we were allocated was large, but smelt of damp from the bathroom and showed signs of damp near the windows.
The room had a great view of lake Windermere. The decor around the hotel was dated it was clear that there was a lack of cleaning. Changing areas at the pool showed more signs of damp, and the shower cubical was poor. In general, the hotel needs a complete freshen up, and treated for mould.

50th birthday break with my wife.
Hotel was in a lovely setting overlooking the lake.
The room was large and spacious (bigger than average), the bathroom how ever was really small with a shortie bath fitted and was really cramped in side. This seemed daft as the room was so big taking an extra couple of feet for the bathroom would have solved the issue. "THE VIEW" this was the best bit on offer, our room had the best vista I have seen from a hotel window. Our room had no phone and the TV remote was hidden behind the chest of draws. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. One last point the pool is nice but changing rooms again pointlessly cramped no working lockers and very poorly designed. You have to brush past a urinal to get in the shower cubical . To summarise if the designer had decided after uni to become a plumber then this hotel may have scored higher. :-) we did enjoy our stay here.

Great staff but hotel is a bit worn out.
The first impressions of the hotel are that it is a bit worn out, a lot of the furnishings and carpets could do with being renewed.
The hotel staff are really helpful and the hotel is in a great spot overlooking Windermere. The Bed was comfortable but the room was on the small side. The carpet in the room was full of stains but bed and bathroom were clean. The food from the restaurant was good but on the expensive side, I feel there could have been a bit more choice on the basic menu at the hotel. The morning breakfast is great.

Place you'd love to return to.
Great service, 24 hours check-in helps a lot when you spend hours on the road.
Really enjoyed quiet atmosphere of launch and reception area, modern rooms, and helpful staff 5-star out of 5 for restaurant. Excellent. Highly recommended place I'd definitely return to.

Great location & food
I booked the Ruskin suite as a suprise for my partners birthday being promised on the phone that it was luxurious and had great views & it did not disappoint.
Beautiful view of the lake & the room wad very spacious with a large queen size bed which was extremely comfy. On arrival in our room was a bottle of champagne too which had been left by the staff after I informed them of my partners birthday too. The food was faultless. We ate in the restaurant both nights & thoroughly enjoyed both our meals incl starters & pudding. Having preordered a table prior to our stay we were offered 5 courses for the price of 3 too. Lovely views again overlooking the lake.

Great people..... dated Accommodation
The service and people were great.
I was disappointed in the room although the views were wonderful and the bed itself very comfy. However there was a damp patch and the furniture was second class. There were four flights of stairs from the room to the bar and restaurant.

The Board of Supervisors recently heard heated concerns from residents about hazardous waste, such as syringes, being found in parks, beaches, etc. What is the Board doing to respond to these complaints?
First, some background on this issue is important. By 1995, the Centers for Disease Control reported that nearly three-fourths of all new HIV infections were linked to injection drug use, transmitted by sharing contaminated syringes. That same year, only seven California counties had a higher prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS than Santa Cruz, and an increasing number of these cases stemmed from injection drug use. At that time, our Health Services Agency reported that the percentage of AIDS cases not attributable to male/male sex had more than doubled from a mean of 12 percent in the years 1983-1990 to a mean of 27 percent in 1991-1993, and that 43 percent of female AIDS cases in the county were injection drug users.
In an effort to help curb the spread of disease, the Santa Cruz Needle Exchange Project was developed and soon partnered with the Santa Cruz AIDS Project (SCAP). Today in Santa Cruz County, as a result of an effective needle exchange program operating for more than 25 years, injection drug users make up only 12.5 percent of the HIV cases compared to the statewide average of 20 percent. The efficacy of syringe exchange programs is well documented and supported by research carried out by the American Medical Association, the National Institute of Health, the Journal of Public Health, and others.
In 2009, SCAP's budget for education and prevention programs was cut by more than $300,000 by the state, and the agency was no longer able to support the needle exchange program. In an effort to maintain this critical prevention program, community volunteers organized themselves and raised their own funds to continue this vital service.
Under the leadership of our new Public Health Officer, the county is currently working to provide comprehensive oversight of the program. A new advisory board has been created and includes public health professionals, law enforcement, community-based organizations, pharmacists, and the state Office of AIDS. We will be establishing new sites for needle exchange at county Health Department buildings in both Watsonville and Santa Cruz. Additional sites will be identified to ensure access, and the program will be run by county health staff with additional support from community volunteers. New disposal kiosks will also be installed in various locations to provide places where needles can be safely discarded.
It is also important to include pharmacies in any strategy addressing safe disposal of needles. SB 41, which went into effect in 2012, permits pharmacists to sell up to 30 syringes without a prescription. Pharmacies are also required to provide written information or verbal counseling to customers on how to access drug treatment, access testing and treatment for HIV and HEP C, and safely dispose of sharps waste. Unfortunately, many pharmacies are not fulfilling their responsibilities. County Health Services has been working with pharmacies to distribute free sharps disposal containers, and while some have been willing to work with the county, others have chosen not to participate.
Research shows that syringe exchange programs do not increase drug use and in fact contribute to helping connect people to treatment. The history of the fight against AIDS has always involved working with marginalized communities and developing strategies that promote effective public health. It has been proven that communicable diseases do not stay within their original host communities but spread into the general population. We must maintain our vigilance against the spread of HIV and other blood-borne disease among the injection drug using community. Preventing the spread of disease and ensuring the safety of our community will only be achieved through a combination of a well-supported needle exchange program, providing safe disposal of used syringes, and expanding drug treatment availability. I will continue to work together with county staff and our community to improve public health and safety.
