Terrebonne Parish jurors found a woman guilty as charged Friday for pimping out a 12-year-old girl.
Terrebonne Parish jurors found a woman guilty as charged Friday for pimping out a 12-year-old girl.
Sheryl Lee Martin, 36, of Chauvin, was found guilty of aggravated rape, which requires her to be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The then 12-year-old was friends with Martin's niece, according to testimony. The niece lived with Martin, and the other girl would often spend time at Martin's home. The Daily Comet and The Courier do not name rape victims.
Martin told the 12-year-old she wanted her to perform a sex act on a man. "Don't be a (expletive)," Martin testified she told the girl.
She eventually brought her to the Montegut man, Terry Leboeuf, who is in his 60s, both Martin and Leboeuf testified.
In August 2011, Leboeuf paid Martin and her daughter Brittany Martin, 19, $100 to have sex with the child, Terrebonne sheriff's deputies said. Police were alerted of the allegations via an anonymous call.
The Martins and Leboeuf, who admitted having sex with the girl, were indicted on aggravated rape charges a year-and-a-half ago; Leboeuf and Brittany Martin have not yet gone to trial.
Sheryl Martin testified she did not know the girl was 12 years old. Leboeuf testified that he thought she was 18.
"Well, she didn't look 18," Assistant District Attorney Chris Erny said in his closing argument.
Erny pointed out that Martin's niece was in the same grade as the victim.
"Sheryl had complete disregard for this girl's age," Erny said. "All she knew is that this girl could do the deed, and she would get some portion of this deal."
No one testified Martin had done anything like this in the past, Erny said. People speculated she might have sold herself for sex in the past, but it wasn't how she made her living. Sheryl Martin testified that at the time she sold the girl for sex, she was addicted to crack cocaine and pills.
Besides the fact that Sheryl Martin would get a cut of the money Leboeuf paid them, Erny told jurors Friday he didn't know why she sold the girl for sex, he said.
Jurors deliberated for under an hour before returning a unanimous guilty verdict, Erny said.
"All elements of the crime were admitted to on the stand," Martin's attorney Bob Pastor said. But he said he wished the jury would have decided she didn't deserve life in prison and find her guilty of a less severe charge.
The prosecution strongly urged the jury not to do this.
"I find it ironic she asks you for sympathy, but denies it to the child. ... She's asking for what the law says you can't give," Assistant District Attorney Bud Barnes told jurors in his closing argument. "This isn't a court of sympathy, it's a court of justice."
In their instructions to juries, district judges always tell jurors "not to be influenced by sympathy."
But jurors "can have mercy because the DA had none whatsoever," Pastor said outside the courtroom before the jury deliberated.
"I live in the real world," Pastor told jurors before they began deliberating. "I don't expect anyone to come back with anything but a guilty verdict. ... If somebody's going to be sentenced to life in prison, they have a right to get their side of the story out in front of a jury."
Some post-trial proceedings for Sheryl Martin are scheduled in May, Erny said. After that, Judge Randy Bethancourt will sentence her.

A native of Wallace, N.C., Carlton was a two-time first team All-ACC and two-time honorable mention All-America running back for the Blue Devils in 1957 and 1958. A three-year letterman on the gridiron, he helped Duke to an overall record of 16-12-3, including an ACC ledger of 12-4-1, along with two final top-20 finishes and an Orange Bowl appearance following the 1957 campaign.
For his career, Carlton rushed 381 times for 1,774 yards and 17 touchdowns and, as a junior, set a school single-season record with four 100-yard rushing games. Finishing with 2,798 career all-purpose yards, he also scored a total of 148 points - including a career-high 26 versus Virginia in 1957, a total which ranks tied for second on Duke's single-game chart. Defensively, Carlton registered five career interceptions.
In an eight-year professional career with the Buffalo Bills of the American Football League, Carlton rushed for 3,368 yards and 29 touchdowns while catching 110 passes for 1,329 yards and five scores. He led the AFL in rushing yards per attempt in 1962 and in rushing touchdowns in 1965. In addition to appearing in two Pro Bowls (1965-66), Carlton was a two-time second team All-AFL selection in 1960 and 1966.
Carlton is joined in the class by Wilt Browning, M. L. Carr, Sam Esposito, Dr. Jerry McGee, Kristi Overton Johnson, Lennie Rosenbluth and Henry Trevathan.
"The achievements of this year's class of inductees enrich our state's remarkable sports heritage, and they certainly earned the honor of joining the 281 men and women previously enshrined," said Dr. Janie Brown, president of the Hall.
Banquet ticket information is available at www.ncsportshalloffame.org or by calling (919) 845-3455.
The North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame was established in 1962. The permanent exhibit is located on the third floor of the North Carolina Museum of History on Jones Street in downtown Raleigh. The exhibit features significant artifacts donated by all the inductees. The museum is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

This post contains spoilers so be sure to have watched our new 3D printed stop-motion short, SHeLvEd, before reading: SHeLvEd: GoEngineer YouTube
When I was first approached about creating a stop-motion film using 3D printed characters I immediately accepted. "It would be fun," I thought "…and it will be easy."
Well the very first thing I learned about filmmaking is that it is not easy. Before I even made it to the technically difficult parts, I was confronted with the surprisingly tough artistic challenges:
- What is the storyline?
- Who are the characters and what do they look like?
- How many explosions should we add?
- Is the ending happy, sad, confusing, a cliffhanger or all of the above?

A Storage Solution Is in the Air
The New York Times
October 1, 2012
Renewable energy sources like wind and solar have a problem: When the wind stops or it is night, they stop generating power. That drawback has focused minds on the question of how to store electricity generated by intermittent sources...
...In an ideal storage system, all the energy put in can be extracted later. When air is compressed, however, the work that goes into compression produces heat as a side effect. In early compression storage systems — technically known as diabatic — this heat has been lost into their surroundings, making them less efficient.
Current experimental systems aim to be more efficient by retaining or recovering the heat. Some, known as isothermal, use a coolant to absorb it, keeping the air at a near constant temperature. The coolant, stored separately, is tapped later to give back the energy through a heat exchange system. Others, known as adiabatic, allow the temperature of the compressed air to rise and fall, using the air, when hot, to warm heat storage units that retain energy within the system.
SustainX, [founded in 2007 by Professor Charles Hutchinson and engineering students Dax Kepshire Th'06, '09, Ben Bollinger '04 Th'04, '08, and Troy McBride Th'01] based in Seabrook, New Hampshire, is set to build a pilot isothermal plant capable of storing and releasing up to two megawatts of power, making it the largest demonstration of the technology to date.

27-year-old alliterative hacker James Jeffery, of the West Midlands Jefferys, admitted to hacking the British Pregnancy Advisory Service website after his arrest on Thursday. Jeffery, thought to be a member of the hacking group Anonymous, boasted on Twitter about stealing close to 10,000 database files containing details of women who'd registered on the site, a move that, in retrospect, doesn't seem very anonymous at all.
Cowed by the long arm (and funny wigs) of British justice, Jeffery has so far cooperated fully with authorities, revealing his motive (he disagreed with a relative's decision to terminate her pregnancy), his sundry other "computer misuse crimes," and his humble hacking opinion that several important-sounding websites such as those of the FBI, CIA, and House of Parliament, are vulnerable to cyber attacks. Thanks, Jimmy — I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I feel way better about the hacking stuff now that you've told us how vulnerable to a computer whiz's whims we are.

Brian Hart netted the game-winner for the Crimson Friday at Thompson Arena (Gil Talbot).
Video: Highlights From Game 1 vs. Dartmouth
HANOVER, N.H. – With the game tied at 1-1 late into the third period, freshman Brian Hart made a great play at the opposing blue line and buried his own rebound to power the 12th-seeded Harvard men's hockey team to a 2-1 victory over fifth-seeded Dartmouth in Game 1 of a first round series in the ECAC Hockey Championship. It marks the first time in six games between the Crimson and Big Green that the team to score the game's first goal has gone on to win the contest.
The class of 2016 was immense for the Crimson on the evening as Hart and Desmond Bergin were the goal-scorers. Bergin was playing in his first game since sustaining a leg injury in the Jan. 12 showdown between the Crimson and Big Green. Goalie Raphael Girard was excellent in goal, turning aside 39 shots in the victory, including 18 saves in the third period alone.
With less than three minutes to play in the contest, the Big Green collected the puck in its own zone and looked to get an offensive rush towards the Harvard net. The attempt got hung up right in front of the penalty boxes, however, where Kyle Criscuolo jarred the puck free and tipped it to Marshall Everson going the other way. Everson looked up and saw Hart waiting at the blue line and the rookie deftly lifted the Dartmouth defender's stick in order to receive the pass. Hart charged towards the net and fired a shot towards the far upper corner that Cab Morris blocked, but Hart jumped on the rebound and fired it home before Morris could collect himself.
The goal lit a fire under the Big Green and the hosts were able to pull their goalie for a six-on-five advantage for over a minute. A slew of short-range chances ensued in front of the Crimson net, but Girard stood his ground, flinging pucks away from his crease and securing the 2-1 victory for Harvard.
The Crimson took a 1-0 lead into the final period, but it was Dartmouth that had the better looks throughout most of the frame. Just 2:07 into the stanza, Eric Neiley found some space atop the left faceoff circle and wristed a shot past Girard that clanged off the far post and up the far boards. The Big Green found frame again at the 11:30 mark when Taylor Boldt's rip from the blue line evaded Girard stick-side and banged off the cage before Girard was able to smother the loose puck.
Dartmouth's goal finally came just 13 seconds before the halfway point of the third when Jesse Beamish, who netted the game-winner in Dartmouth's 3-2 victory over the Crimson Jan. 12, stuffed home a puck out of a scrum in front of the Harvard net.
After an uneventful first period, where the teams combined for just 13 shots, the action picked up in the second and the Crimson took advantage. Greg Gozzo gained possession off an offensive-zone faceoff and flicked the puck back to Danny Fick, who was camped out at the blue line along the boards. Fick whipped a pass cross-ice to Desmond Bergin and the rookie blasted a shot through traffic that evaded Morris' glove and found the back of the net at 9:53 of the second.
The Crimson and Big Green will face off again tomorrow night in Game 2 beginning at 7 p.m. In five career first-round playoff series, Harvard is undefeated (4-0) when capturing the first game.

Americans live longer base from the statistics, thus making the population age and as it ages the need for home care workers will grow significantly. According to the Bureau of Labor Standards, the Home Care Workforce will grow from 1.7 Million to 2.6 million in 2018, but the people caring for seniors in their homes earn on average less than 10 dollars an hour and many do not get benefits. A number of those workers assembled at the Food and Medicine Headquarters in Brewer Thursday to encourage their Senators to make it a priority to improve pay, benefits and training for this growing workforce.
Helen Hanson stood at a podium from her huddling under the tent and shared her financial struggles during her work as a home care worker.
"My bills are paid but when the oil tank is down do I pay the mortgage or do I spend 350 dollars to put 100 gallons in the oil tank," she said.
Although Hanson loves going into peoples' homes to care for them she couldn't make the ends meet. So instead, she went to work at a rehab facility as a certified nurse and she got better pay and benefits. This kind of problem is one example of a nationwide concern.
"We have 3 million direct care health workers in the country right now and we're projecting 27 million seniors by 2050," Pointed out Reverend Mark Doty, one of those gathered at the Food and Medicine Rally. The pro workers group had a stage demonstration where they showed how hard their work is. The demonstration is even complete with a juggler to show how complicated it is for home care workers to juggle their responsibilities. Everything is happening while caring for a growing number of seniors and finding an easy solution may be a juggling act too. The issue becomes how to pay for a better wage for them after all agree that home care workers should be paid well.
Vickie Purgavie, executive director of the Home Care and Hospice Alliance of Maine, which advocate for home care businesses, says home care companies couldn't afford to pay workers more because they depend on federal funding for most of their revenue, and their reimbursement rates are fixed. Simply put if the businesses give their workers a raise, they can't charge the government more money to provide those raises
"So any additional requirements if you will around wages or benefits which this group of workers is so deserving of would put the home care agency at a significant deficit," Purgavie said.
Organizers with Food and Medicine say because many home caregivers are mothers, they submitted Mothers Day cards to Senators King and Collins today, urging them to support a resolution in the Senate urging congress to address the issue of better wages and benefits for Home Care workers. A spokesperson for Senator King said he is still reviewing the legislation.

Although the Internet is crowded and making a buck in affiliate marketing may seem a daunting task, it's still every bit as possible today as it was a decade ago.
The key is working SMARTER not harder.
It may sound a little trite, but sometimes we need to give ourselves a self-audit just to keep things like this at the front of our minds. It's all about using your valuable time efficiently. But I digress…
The Internet is also very competitive. Millions of sites, blogs and social media tangents vie for the eyes of your visitors, moment-by-moment. But there's an upside…
There's MORE demand for affiliate products now than ever before. Purchasing good products and services on the Internet is now a ubiquitous part of life. People are comfortable shopping on the Web for literally ANYTHING.
Your potential market is expanding every day!
So are your options for success. But don't get caught up in the administrative tasks that can delay turning a profit.
Keep PRODUCING content. Whatever you do, keep growing your content base.
The fact is, you can labor over things like…
- Signing up for newsletters
- Setting up social media accounts
- Keyword selection and other minutiae
…and waste months of prime time. That's time when Google could have been finding and indexing your web pages. Ignore the distractions and get to content-building as quickly as possible by following this list of priorities…
This is pretty self-explanatory. Don't pick a niche that isn't "nichey" – make sure your niche is small enough to dominate yet large enough to keep you supplied with traffic.
IMPORTANT: Choosing a niche you know and care about will help to keep you motivated.
2. Choose your target keywords
In keeping with the theme of this article, don't get caught up in the little stuff. Pick 20 of your best, most dominatable keywords and get started…
3. Write! Write! Write!
After getting your site or blog set up, get to writing those first 20 pages. And when you've finished those pages, keep going! Whether you're developing content for direct use on your site or for directory articles that point back to your site, the more content, the better!
When your aim is to work smarter not harder, those are the big 3 in affiliate marketing. Everything else is secondary to feeding the search engines. THEN you can start…
- Placing affiliate links
- Social media marketing
- Setting up your subscriber list
- Inbound link campaigns
Organization and time-management skills are important too. And picking the right tools (and setting) for the job can help streamline your working time…
1) Pay attention to your "high focus" time
Work within your normal body clock as much as possible. If you're a night person, make time to work on your business in the evening. Early bird? Rise early and crank out a few hours before interruptions of the day begin.
2) Your work area – avoid clutter
The only equipment you need is a computer, Internet connection and maybe a phone. You may want to work at a desk and have a few extras like a printer and file cabinet but try to avoid cluttering up your work area with unnecessary items and equipment. They'll just be a distraction.
If you can use a laptop, all the better. Laptops allow you to minimize the need to have any other work supplies and be completely mobile.
3) Your business
Always take steps to work efficiently especially when you're first starting out. Begin by researching and choosing the best platform to use for your business.
Piecing together hosting, template creation, keyword research tools, page building, a shopping cart (if you're selling your own product), stats tracking and so on can be really time-consuming, adding to the cycle of working harder, not smarter.
IMPORTANT: Using an all-in-one platform where everything you need is at your fingertips can save you hours and hours of time.
Look for well-organized "how to" info that covers all of e-business building, the right software for your type of business, good customer support, and a business-minded community where you can exchange ideas and talk to other online marketers.
Avoid getting pulled into using "free" tools. Before long you'll be paying for upgrades, add ons and the next "best thing".
Building your business "smart" is what will help to bring in targeted traffic, critical to your affiliate marketing success.
Working more efficiently in any number of areas helps reduce those long hours and provides flexibility to do other things.
Bottom line?
Reduce your distractions and stick to what's important…
Build a content-based website about something you care about using a platform that offers state-of-the-art tools and support with a process that is proven to work.
Then, keep your work plan simple and efficient.
That's what working smarter not harder is all about.
All-in-one platform ticks all the boxes
There's an all-in-one tool that is exactly what you're looking for.
It used to be called "Site Build It", but it's MUCH more than a website-building tool. So these days it's simply known as SBI. It's a complete suite of tools, with a step-by-step Action Guide and videos for researching a valuable niche, building a profitable online business, attracting targeted visitors, and making sales.
Web hosting, domain name, stats tracking, keyword research, blogging, Facebook integration, etc. are all included.
Ken Evoy, who created SBI, says that all you have to do is add your own brains and motivation. If you don't have much of either, don't despair. You'll receive a LOT of help from really generous, caring SBI coaches and owners on the private forum.
What's more, Ken guarantees your success. He'll give you your money back if you decide you can't do it (for any reason). So you really do have nothing to lose.
I've been recommending SBI for years. I've got family members using it now, and they love it.
If you want to learn how to build a successful online business, SBI gives you your best chance of success.
Here's something to think about...
Most people who choose SBI spend three months researching, comparing, and thinking about it before they eventually decide to get SBI.
To help speed up your "working smarter not harder" decision, I strongly recommend you carefully study these two pages…
1.) See the overwhelming proof. No other company on the Internet can provide the comprehensive proof of success that SBI provides. No one. It's a simple as that. No one.
2.) Compare the overwhelming value. SBI is so much MORE than mere site-building or web hosting. (If you're just starting, don't worry. You don't need to understand all those tools. You don't need to understand all the techie stuff to use SBI. The step-by-step Action Guide explains everything and leads you gently through everything you need to know.)
When you study those pages, you'll understand why tens of thousands of people have chosen SBI as their online business-building tool. It's perfect for businesses and affiliate businesses.

After seeing the video I agree with Collision Detection that this robotic proboscis is not entriely convincing as a dog tail. This is despite the presence of a black lab in the video. And anyway - as a sign there are problems with a wagging tail, given the ambiguity.
That wonderful tail can say; "I am interested in that, I am challenging that, I will dominate that, I feel very confident right now, I am relaxing now, I am scared right now and feel threatened, I am confused right now and don't know what you want me to do, or, I will protect you now and I will be aggressive...source
I remember Doug wagging his saying I will dominate that as he encountered another male dog in the park -a preliminary to dog rage. Perhaps the car could have a set of hackles to switch into unequivocal aggro mode.
And Bronte is a dog that has the submissive tail wag that in traffic wouldn't be saying 'thanks' as much as 'help'.
I want to enter this pack so please don't hurt me. I am willing to be submissive to the Alpha tanks.

So one final thought…something I have been wrestling with for some time now is how many venture firms can reliably, predictably and on their terms raise a new fund in this environment? Tough question to answer but the data may shed some light.
According to the NVCA Yearbook 2012 there were 842 VC firms in the US at the end of 2011 which have raised capital in the past eight years; of that cohort, 526 firms were deemed "active" - which means they made investments totaling $5 million that year (frankly, a pretty low bar). Interestingly, at the end of 2011, there was approximately $197 billion under management in the US venture industry. Also of note there were 1,012 firms in 2006 so the industry lost 170 firms (or 17%) over the past five years; that same year there was $288 billion under management, which means from a capital managed perspective the industry shrunk by 32% over that same five-year period.
So this is what is so potentially daunting. This past quarter there were 10 firms which raised funds larger than $100 million, which I would deem as a threshold to be material to the overall industry. If this past quarter is representative of the new reality then, and firms raise new funds every four to five years, might one conclude that there is only room for only 160 - 200 firms? Are we looking at an industry that may contract by another 50% - 75% in terms of number of firms?
More numbers. The median fund size of those top 10 funds raised last quarter was approximately $350 million; across those same 160 - 200 firms that would be $56 - $70 billion raised over the next four to five years. Does that start to suggest where we are heading and how large the VC industry will be? The last time the VC industry was less than $100 billion was in 1998 ($91 billion managed).
Undoubtedly this is too dark a picture. We are investing in a time of unprecedented innovation which will drive superior investment performance. As returns and liquidity come back, LP's will be drawn back to the VC asset class - but the analysis is thought provoking nonetheless.
What do you think? What percentage of firms today can raise a fund on their terms? 5%? 10% 25%?

With smoky, sooty, black rimmed eyes, red-stained lips and her natural hair slicked back off her face, Gaga strikes a post (there's nothing to it, Vogue!) for the men's mag. She also flashes a red-painted nipple.
Notice that Gaga's 'ARTPOP' tattoo on her forearm is prominently featured, so she's promoting her album even when she's not.
It's a seductive shot.
We've censored it, but Ma Monster's scarlet lipstick matches her red-dipped nip! She has shown this look before, but on the front cover of a major magazine? Um, no. She covered up somewhat strategically on V.
Here's Ma Monster is letting it all hang out.
She really has spent much of the 'ARTPOP' promo cycle going topless and even bottomless in some cases. She even went full- frontal her Marina Abramovic video.
Shirts, bras, panties, clothes be damned. Actually, we take that last part back. Gaga is a clotheshorse but she's not above wearing her birthday suit as if it were the latest fashion (baby).

Vanilla Extract Recipe
1/2-pint Vodka
4 Vanilla beans recommended (Madagascar)
Seal tight bottles
Glass mason jar
Cut vanilla beans length wise with a scissors so the bean stays intact.
Pour vodka into a glass capped container like a mason jar so you can see how its coming along.
Add vanilla beans to container all the way to the bottom of the jar and store in a dark place covered . It will take 2 months for the vanilla extract to mature. After the 2 month cycle has finished, strain the liquid through coffee filter, or strainer and place in capped bottle. Makes eight ounces or( one cup.) You can now store in a decorator bottle. When giving as gifts, putting a whole bean inside the bottle gives it continued flavor and looks great!
Brandy Vanilla
1 cup Brandy
1 whole vanilla bean
Place Brandy into a glass capped tight bottle.
Add one vanilla bean.
Wait. It will take 3-weeks for vanilla to cure properly.
Pour into a bottle that has a cap on it.
Stronger Extract: Use a high proof of alcohol and scrape the seeds from the bean.
Weaker Extract: Use a lesser proof of alcohol and soak beans intact.
To strain for future storage use a coffee filter.
Vodka usually gives the highest alcohol content. Brandy adds additional flavor which is my favorite but not the traditional vanilla.
Using a variety of vanilla pods you can find some from (Madagascar, Indonesia, Tahitian, Mexican) these will produce an extract with a much more stronger flavor and wonderful aroma.
Shake vanilla bottle before each use.

European Commission
László ANDOR
European Commissioner responsible for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion
Youth Employment Package
Press conference / Brussels
5 December 2012
7.5 million young Europeans between 15 and 24 are not employed, not in education and not in training.
More than one in five young Europeans on the labour market cannot find a job; in Greece and Spain it is one in two.
And in the last four years, the overall employment rates for young people fell three times as much as for adults.
The situation is clearly unacceptable: we must take action.
This is why the European Commission has adopted a Youth Employment Package outlining measures to be taken by the Member States and social partners.
The Package we adopted today comprises four initiatives to be taken forward by the Member States and the social partners:
Firstly, we urge Member States to implement the Youth Guarantee by establishing a scheme to ensure that all young people up to the age of 25 receive either a quality job offer, continued education, an apprenticeship or a traineeship within four months of leaving formal education or becoming unemployed.
The proposed Recommendation gives Member States a clear benchmark and precise guidelines for establishing their own Youth Guarantee scheme.
Let me insist on three of those guidelines which are cordnerstones of any Youth Guarantee:
First, the Youth Guarantee requires Member States to establish strong partnerships with the world of education, training providers, public employment services, youth associations, to ensure early intervention and action.
Second, Member States should implement a comprehensive set of measures to support labour integration.
Third, Member States must make full use of the European Social Fund and other EU structural funds.
Indeed, a Youth Guarantee has of course a fiscal cost for Member State Governments. However, the costs of NOT acting are far higher.
Make no mistake, youth unemployment is expensive: it costs Member States 153 billion euros a year in terms of benefits paid out and lost tax revenue and earnings, according to Eurofound.
This is in addition to the long-term costs of unemployment to the economy, to society and to the individuals concerned, such as increased risk of future unemployment and poverty.
The cost of doing nothing is therefore very high. Let's be clear Youth Guarantee schemes are investments.
On the one hand, the Commission is ready and willing to make available substantial financial contributions from the European Social Fund and other EU structural funds. The precise amounts will depend on the outcome of the negotiations on the Multiannual Financial Framework.
On the other hand, the Commission confirmed in the Annual Growth Survey adopted last week that Youth Guarantee schemes are key measures that should be prioritised within growth-friendly fiscal consolidation. For the Commission, investment in Youth Guarantee schemes is crucial expenditure if we want to preserve our future growth potential.
The second initiative proposed today is on traineeships.
Traineeships need to be of good quality in terms of learning content and with adequate working conditions.
In order to achieve this, the Commission has launched a consultation of social partners and we hope that the social partners will enter into negotiations. If not, the Commission will reflect on making a related proposal in summer 2013.
The third initiative is on company-based apprenticeship schemes which enable young people to gain work experience and acquire theoretical knowledge at the same time.
This is why we wish to improve the quality and the supply of apprenticeships in the EU by a 'European Alliance for Apprenticeships' in 2013.
The fourth measure is on mobility.
As I announced at the end of November, the EURES job-search network will be improved. It will not only include targeted mobility schemes for young people but also cover work-related apprenticeships and traineeships. The Commission also intends to develop the 'Your first EURES Job' programme further.
This gives young people more possibilities to work and train in another EU Member State which will increase their employment opportunities.
To conclude, given the massive youth employment crisis, we have to invest in Europe's young people now.
We cannot afford to leave young people on the scrapheap – instead we have to give them the skills and experience they need to help them to get a job.

Logic of House GOP intransigence
The unruly House Republicans who spurned Speaker John Boehner as the country flirts with fiscal havoc might've seemed like they were doing their best "Lord of the Flies" rendition.
But last week's mayhem had a certain logic — the logic of politicians wanting to keep their jobs.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Longer the fiscal cliff dive, harder the economic hit)
In the staunchly conservative districts that most House Republicans inhabit, playing ball with President Barack Obama on taxes and the debt means tempting a primary opponent in the next election. The threat of a challenge from the left that might come from digging in, on the other hand, is almost nonexistent for most members.
As a matter of pure political self-interest, the post-election debate within the GOP about how to broaden the party's appeal and avoid another Romney-esque debacle in four years is irrelevant in this quarter of GOP politics. For the overwhelming majority of House Republicans, the largely white, resolutely conservative electorate that Mitt Romney relied on — excessively, as it turned out — is all they need to ensure reelection.
( Also on POLITICO: Behind Boehner's fiscal cliff strategy)
That inescapable fact could be the single biggest obstacle to Obama's second-term agenda. The same dynamic will undoubtedly apply when it comes to immigration reform, guns or energy. Forget breaking filibusters in the Senate; the House Republican Conference is what will keep Obama awake at night at least for the next two years.
The numbers tell the story. According to the Cook Political Report, the widely respected political handicapper, just six Republicans – around 3 percent of the House GOP Conference — will occupy districts whose overall voter makeup favors Democrats. That figure is down from 22 Republicans that resided in such Democrat-friendly districts in 2012.
That unusually high number of House Republicans occupying deeply red districts has intensified the fear of a primary — not general — election threat. And that means no deals with a president, who in most cases, lost those members' districts resoundingly.
The phenomenon isn't new. For decades, many Republicans — and for that matter Democrats — have found themselves locked into districts where they're beholden to their party's electorate. But it will be heightened in 2014.
( Also on POLITICO: Cliff chaos: Congress braces for fallout)
One of the Republicans in a deeply conservative district, South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan, said he has no doubt the voters he represents want him to oppose higher taxes as part of any fiscal cliff deal.
"I believe if you do what you said you were going to do, if you vote with integrity, if you do what you told voters you were going to do, reelection will take care of itself," he said. "People who have contacted me are asking me to stand firm on what really matters, which is the spending side of the equation."
The polarization was exacerbated by the just completed, once-a-decade redistricting process. Both parties — but particularly Republicans, who swept control of statehouses across the country in the 2010 conservative wave — redrew district lines to shore up House members politically.

I've been participating in Advent Calendar hosted by Thomas at Destination: Austin Family. Today's topic was memories of Christmas at school. I came up blank. Reading what others wrote brought some memories back. It's amazing how a picture can jog our memories but when I was growing up film was expensive and we just didn't document things the way we do today.
Friday was the kindergarten concert at school. I had to take my secondary kids home at that time so I missed it but John was there and got some pictures of one of our favorite kindergarteners as did her parents. Will these pictures help jog Liz's memory at some time in the future? Will she remember why she had her arms crossed like this 40 years from now? I'm betting when I ask her tomorrow she will have already forgotten! LOL
There would be a whole series of pictures here but many of my other students were also in the pictures. There will be dozens of pictures for her to look back on someday.

Memories in the Making
2 comments:
Hi Martha,ReplyDelete
John was out earlier with the snowblower to get rid of the sleet, about 5". He just came in and thinks there's another 3-4" of snow that he'll work on later so I can get out in the morning if we don't get a lot overnight. My son says the roads are still terrible and he's got 18-24" drifts in his driveway over in Hastings.
I hope you didn't get anymore than we did!

It is possible to travel by bus from most of Thailand's neighbors
From Malaysia, one can cross north by bus to Thailand at various border checkpoints in Songkhla, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, although most busses will head to the hub of bus travel into, out of, and around southern Thailand, Hat Yai.
Busses from Laos originate in Vientiane and cross the Mekong River to the Thai border town of Nong Khai, where they continue for a two hour ride to Udon Thani, from which visitors can arrange other busses or air travel to other parts of Thailand.
The primary route an a Cambodian bus to Thailand is at the border at the towns of Poipet-Aranyaprathet. This is the border for those leaving Siem Reap or Battambang via land, though they must cross the border on foot and arrange onward travel from Aranyaprathet to other Thai destinations from the bus station on the Thailand side of the border.
Travel by bus from Myanmar to Thailand is not practical or convenient for visitors.

The penumbral eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 34 minutes. Maximum eclipse was at 05:53:37 UT.
During this eclipse the Moon was just 4 days before perigee, making it relatively large. At maximum eclipse it was 0.536° in apparent diameter, which is 1.0% larger than average. The statistics page has information on the ranges of the sizes of the Sun and Moon.
This map shows the visibility of the eclipse at maximum eclipse, when it was visible within the bright area on the map. Note that the map is approximate, and if you were near the edge of the area of visibility, the moon was very close to the horizon and may not have been practically visible.
You can use the zoom controls to zoom in and out, and pan to see areas of interest. The green marker in the centre shows where the Moon will be directly overhead at maximum eclipse.

text: I appologize if this has been posted before but i have searched and probably missed it. I have my name servers all through dnsexit.com and everything points to my external IP, and my router forwards all web/ftp/dns/mail/etc to the one debian server I have setup that hosts 5 domains for me. And it works perfectly. All thinks to the tutorials and the support you guys give here. Recently I am expanding my programming knowledge and I am trying to learn some ASP.NET programming and working with server 2008. So I have set up a 2008 server and i got a new domain (not a sub-domain) and want it to be hosted on the 2008 server. So what I am looking for is a very simple way of putting in a ip address of the 2008 on my local network (192.168.x.x) into the dns server on my main debian machine (ISPConfig 3) so that if forwards the requests to it. Maybe this isnt easily accomplished like I think it is. I was thinking that maybe i need just edit the hosts file. thoughts?

How adorable is this water coloring rendering of the Hermes La Maison home line?
I discovered the new Hermes La Maison home line when our wonderful Dedar rep came to our showroom and offices at the end of last year, sharing with us the most amazing textiles and wall coverings from this iconic brand. Now, it is not enough to swoon over their fashionable bags, scarves, throws, clothing, boots, sandals, watches (of which I am a huge fan) and baubles-more delightful goodies to ponder!
It wasn't long after that I decided to recover an antique French chair in the Fil de Argents print (yes, I have a slight thing for chains) in the orange color way (I also have a slight orange thing, too). This chair made its way to a recently completed Arizona design project, but my obsession with the Hermes home line had only just begun.
Not only does the Hermes La Maison collection include textiles and wall coverings, it includes furniture and rugs as well (obviously of the ultra luxurious sort). I do not know the exact prices of all the items, but knowing the price point of Hermes, I can only imagine how many zeroes follow that leather sofa…
Take a look at some of my favorites from the collection!
3-seater Bench from The Pippa Collection
Square Table from The Pippa Collection
Occasional Table from The Pippa Collection
A bit about The Pippa Collection…
"This line of foldable and easy-to-move-around furniture was imagined by Rena Dumas and Peter Coles, in the Hermès spirit of "moving with elegance". It combines the warmth and softness of wood (pearwood, ebonized maple or teak) with the suppleness and resilience of leather (fontanella cowhide, natural cowhide, clemence bullcalf, skipper buffalo)."
Armchair for Reading and Resting in Fabric and Leather, from The Matieres Collection
Fabric and Leather Sofa from The Matieres Collection
Storage Coffer from The Matieres Collection
A bit about The Matieres Collection…
"In the Matières collection, Antonio Citterio highlighted once more the functionality of furniture, and prioritized conviviality, comfort and harmony. This collection also emphasizes the sensory of the materials: leather, fabric, wood, metal.
During his visit to the Hermès Conservatory of Creations, the designer was particularly drawn to a saddle rack whose proportions and volume inspired him for the design of his armrests. The reading chair reclines into a relaxation position."
2-seater Sofa from The Jean Michele Frank Collection
Club Armchair in Sheepskin from The Jean Michele Frank Collection…swooning…..
Folding Screen from The Jean Michele Frank Collection
Low Soleil Table from The Jean Michele Frank Collection
A bit about The Jean Michele Frank Collection…
"Jean-Michel Frank is an iconic designer from the Art Deco movement. He was the most influentialial designer and decorator of the 1920's and 1930's. The lines are rigorous and emphasized, shapes are simple yet refined. The materials used are versatile, from the rawest to the most sophisticated.
Sofas are compact, well-balanced and truly simple, iconic of Frank's style."
Antique French Gilt Armchair that I recovered in Hermes Fil de Argent fabric!
One of my favorite wall coverings from the collection- Les Sangles
A panel of this wall covering within picture frame molding- genius!
Stunning scarf-like textile, Couvertures et Tenues de Jour
How fabulous are these drapes?
Circuit 24 Textile
More gorgeous drapery!
I love the Circuit 24 pattern in the wall covering, too!
Finish Wall Covering in Nattier Blue
Finish Wall Covering in Kaolin
Herringbone Wall Covering in Orange
Herringbone Wall Covering in Nattier Blue
Gribouill'H Wall Covering in Sage
Gribouill'H Wall Covering in Mandarin
Feuillage Imprime Textile in Etoupe
Feuillage Imprime Wall Covering in Mint
Wrapping presents in Hermes paper? Doesn't get more luxe than that!
Biblioteque Wall Covering in Nattier Blue- I used this in the bathroom of my Arizona design project!
Also love this pattern in the textile version (Biblioteque in Cognac)

AHL Game Night: 3-10-12 Admirals at Whale
Norfolk harpoons its 14th win in a row.
Jaroslav Janus stopped 26 of 27 shots for the win. Janus has now reeled off 6 straight wins and moved his save percentage to .905, just 1 point back of Dustin Tokarski's .906 save percentage before he Oberg'ed off to join the Lightning.
First Period
CT Grant, (8) (Tanski), 8:11
Second Period
NOR Angelidis, (14) (Hutchings, Devos), 12:17
Third Period
NOR Kostka, (9) (Johnson), 1:56
NOR Johnson, (23) (Conacher), 19:18
Janus and Tyler Johnson were the game's first and second stars, as TJ continues to progress toward becoming an AHL superstar.
Now, as the Admirals attempt to chase down history, they have a big challenge tomorrow afternoon in Bridgeport. We may well see the season debut of Pat Nagle with a shot at a page in the record books on the line. Bridgeport currently leads the Northeast Division, so they're no pushovers and the Admirals may well see them in the playoffs. Now it gets even more interesting.

Hey guys,
Attracting women is exactly like driving a 1998 Honda Accord
I got an email from a client the other day asking about what its like taking a bootcamp and how it could help him, I thought you guys would get a kick out of my response and an analogy I used:
Hey D
Nice to hear from you again, let's tackle this question in parts:
"Women in this city do not come across as approachable. (The very attractive ones any way) they seem very stuck up and unfriendly. They don't make eye contact, they just walk right by you like you're not even there."
I think you're generalising here. I never got that impression in Calgary, I mean I've experienced that, but I've experienced it in every other major city as well. Understand that if we think someone is a certain way when we approach, then we actually project those thoughts into the way we communicate with them and they will pick up on it. So, in this case, if we approach a woman with the thought "Uhh she's probably going to be a stuck up bitch, but Ill try anyways" then there's a good chance that she's going to react negatively to your approach because she will pick up on the fact that you see yourself as someone who is about to get rejected by a bitch, and you will communicate fear, low-value and a lack of social etiquette. It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't negative feedback loop, even if you have the best "lines" and advice that exists. That seems to be the predicament that you're in; you have these beliefs about the women you're approaching, and as long as you do, you will get the reactions that reinforce those beliefs.
"So how is a Boot Camp going to change any of this? If most attractive women in this town are already taken and the others walk around with attitude how is a guy like me supposed to even get close to women like that when they've already disqualified you before you even say one word to them? How can any Boot Camp change any of this?"
Part of my job is to change your thoughts and beliefs into those of an attractive man, and that's what the course is designed to do. Attracting women is predominantly an emotional game, not a logical one. Details like looks, money, and whether someone is taken or not are not nearly as important as most men think they are. They can honestly be trivial if enough attraction is present. My job is to create attraction by a shift in attitude and mindset and how you communicate.
You're a trucker, so let's use an automotive analogy:
You're a 1998 Honda Accord. You see all these women looking for Lambos & Ferraris and you think "Aww fuck, I'm a 98 accord, how the hell am I going to entice these women?? I'm going to have to settle for some frumpy woman who is ok driving a 98 accord." These women you're seeing though, they're not really looking for Lambos & Ferraris, some of them are, because all they care about is image but most of them are simply looking for cars with POWER, cars that project CONFIDENCE, and CLASS. You can't change that you're an accord, it's what you were born with, but you can drop a bigger engine in, you can change the suspension and the tuning. You can add some nitrous and an expensive custom paint job. You can retool the entire interior with high end leather and all the bells and whistles. Now you're still an accord, and when you roll up they may not bat an eye, but when you rev the engine it get's their attention, they see the nice interior and take you for the test drive, they fall in love with the handling. Now all of a sudden those Lambos and ferraris don't look so hot, especially since they probably all had the engine of a 94 geo metro in them.
The bootcamp is a way of "tuning" yourself to appeal to women who you may have thought are only looking for better models. In the end it's about what's under the hood, and that's where we come in.
And btw: I drive a 2004 Honda CR-V...how do I compete with a 98 Accord??

I used to drive a 2002 Accord, now I have Porsche Boxster, but it doesn't matter. I agree you still need to tune up yourself! You can't bring your car into the bar/club/etc.
Honda Civic 2012 with Navigation is the shit!
anyway, nice post

Hi I recently realised that attracting women is not about doing more things but about a certain way of being.
Attracting women is all about sexual presence
This was a relief as it meant that I didn't have to be a dancing clown to try and attract women anymore.
Instead, I just had to learn how to cultivate sexual presence, be more still and calm and learn to get out of my own head and into my body. Then I could embody masculine presence that women find irresistible!

Sacco and Vanzetti, in full Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, defendants in a controversial murder trial in Massachusetts, U.S. (1921–27), that resulted in their executions.
The trial resulted from the murders in South Braintree, Massachusetts, on April 15, 1920, of F.A. Parmenter, paymaster of a shoe factory, and Alessandro Berardelli, the guard accompanying him, in order to secure the payroll that they were carrying. On May 5 Sacco and Vanzetti, two Italian anarchists who had immigrated to the United States in 1908, one a shoemaker and the other a fish peddler, were arrested for the crime. On May 31, 1921, they were brought to trial before Judge Webster Thayer of the Massachusetts Superior Court, and on July 14 both were found guilty by verdict of the jury.
Socialists and radicals protested the men's innocence. Many people felt that the trial had been less than fair and that the defendants had been convicted for their radical anarchist beliefs rather than for the crime for which they had been tried. All attempts for retrial on the grounds of false identification failed. On November 18, 1925, Celestino Madeiros, then under a sentence for murder, confessed that he had participated in the crime with the Joe Morelli gang. The state Supreme Court refused to upset the verdict, because at that time the trial judge had the final power to reopen a case on the grounds of additional evidence. The two men were sentenced to death on April 9, 1927.
A storm of protest arose with mass meetings throughout the nation. Governor Alvan T. Fuller appointed an independent advisory committee consisting of President A. Lawrence Lowell of Harvard University, President Samuel W. Stratton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Robert Grant, a former judge. On August 3, 1927, the governor refused to exercise his power of clemency; his advisory committee agreed with this stand. Demonstrations proceeded in many cities throughout the world, and bombs were set off in New York City and Philadelphia. Sacco and Vanzetti, still maintaining their innocence, were executed on August 23, 1927.
Opinion has remained divided on whether Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty as charged or whether they were innocent victims of a prejudiced legal system and a mishandled trial. Some writers have claimed that Sacco was guilty but that Vanzetti was innocent. Many historians believe, however, that the two men should have been granted a second trial in view of their trial's significant defects.
On the 50th anniversary of their deaths in 1977, the governor of Massachusetts, Michael S. Dukakis, issued a proclamation stating that Sacco and Vanzetti had not been treated justly and that no stigma should be associated with their names.

About Carl Hammoud
Carl Hammoud was born in 1976 in Stockholm (Sweden). He currently lives and works in Stockholm (Sweden).
In his surrealistic paintings, drawings, and sculptures, Carl Hammoud explores our need to impose order on the world, poking fun at our unending, often quixotic efforts to keep chaos at bay. As he describes: "I am very interested in chaos vs. order… One way of looking at it is that we are existing at the verge of chaos and all our efforts are put into keeping things in order." These efforts manifest as institutions of science, culture, and education, and their taxonomies. Hammoud begins by trolling the Internet for photographs of laboratories, museums, archives, and classrooms, often combining elements from multiple images into a single work. Rendered in muted tones and with antiseptic precision, his compositions show workers dutifully hunched over stacks of blank papers or museum interiors without art, demonstrating that order is inevitably predicated upon exclusion.
Carl Hammoud is represented by Galleri Magnus Karlsson.

The 4 Survival Skills Every Kid Should Know
Some of outdoor adventurer Bear Grylls' biggest fans are kids. Their eyes widen at his derring-do, and boys and girls alike admire his survival skills and savvy. But the survival skills that are more likely to keep our kids safe and sound are actually far more mundane! Here are four survival skills that every kid should know, along with a few tips for parents.
What to Do If Lost
A lost child is a scared child, and usually their first instinct is to begin searching for their family. Train your children to stop and sit as soon as they realize they are lost. Assure them that, no matter how scared they might be, you are searching for them at that very moment; but also that, if they keep moving around, it will take longer to find them. Consider equipping your children with an inexpensive cell phone and when venturing outdoors, a few survival items tucked in a backpack or their pockets. Items such as a whistle, a bright bandana and a bottle of water are the makings of a kids' survival kit that will go a long way to helping them be found more quickly.
How to Answer the Door When Home Alone
Usually the best strategy is to not answer the door! Yes, the person knocking could be a burglar scoping out the neighborhood. But once the door is opened, it's that much easier for an intruder to enter. And children are easily overpowered. Train your child to enforce home security: Keep doors and windows locked and blinds and curtains closed. Noise from a TV or radio is fine. Someone with questionable motives will think twice about entering a home if they hear noises inside, even if the house is closed up and no one answers the door.
What to Do in a Medical Emergency
From a young age, kids can learn how to dial 911 and report an emergency, but this takes practice. Spend some time rehearsing phone calls, teaching your children to relay detailed information to an operator, follow his or her instructions, and then stay on the line until help arrives. If possible, children should also get the home ready for the arrival of EMTs by putting pets in closed areas and, if it's nighttime, turning on both indoor and outdoor lights. Summer is an ideal time for children to take first aid and CPR classes, that are typically suitable for kids age 9 and up.
How to Maintain Situational Awareness
This one skill can help your child avoid many dangerous situations. The concept is simply for children to be aware of the people and events around them. Parents can help their children become more observant and aware—not by scaring them, but by playing games to teach and practice this skill.
When driving in the car, for instance, ask your kids to describe a building or vehicle you just passed. Teach them to pay attention to the route home by asking them to give you driving directions! Tell them to close their eyes and describe what someone in the room is wearing. Encourage them to check out the license plates of passing cars: Which states are they from? What is the sum of the numbers on the license plate?
Being aware of their surroundings will help them avoid predatory people and other dangerous scenarios. Simple to teach. Fun to practice. And, quite possibly, a life saver.

Filipino rebels attack 2nd southern town
ZAMBOANGA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine troops battled Muslim rebels on two fronts Thursday, after the insurgents attacked a second town near the southern port where they are holding scores of residents hostage in a standoff with government forces.
The rebels attacked predominantly Christian outskirts of Lamitan town in Basilan province on Thursday morning, said Vice Mayor Roderick Furigay. Five people were missing and two wounded, he said.
A regional governor, Mujiv Hataman, said that the assault was repulsed. Authorities said earlier they were monitoring the movement of rebel forces in that area and Hataman said that residents had already evacuated Wednesday.
Basilan island province is a boat ride away from Zamboanga city, where Moro National Liberation Front fighters have been holding their hostage since Monday, when government troops repulsed their attempt to erect a rebel flag at city hall.
The three-day crisis has virtually paralyzed Zamboanga, a lively trading city of nearly a million people, with most flights and ferry services suspended. Communities near the clashes resembled a war zone, with armored troop carriers lining streets, troops massing at a school and snipers taking positions atop buildings. A mosque and its minaret were pockmarked with bullet holes.
Nearly 15,000 villagers have fled from the fighting and took shelter at a grandstand in a seaside sports complex and schools. Troops were under orders to prevent the rebels from straying beyond the communities they have seized or getting reinforcements, Interior Secretary Mar Roxas said.
The rebels signed a peace deal in 1996, but their faction leader accuses the government of reneging on a promise to develop the impoverished, restive region. The rebel leader, Nur Misuari, has isolated himself and set out on a collision course with the government when he voiced opposition to the ongoing peace talks between the Philippines and the currently-dominant rebel movement, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
The talks have steadily progressed toward a new and potentially larger Muslim autonomy deal, but Misuari felt left out. Last month, his group issued new threats to secede by establishing its own republic.
At least nine combatants and villagers have been killed since the standoff in Zamboanga began, officials said. President Benigno Aquino III has sent top Cabinet officials and his military chief of staff to oversee the security crisis in the country's restive south, the scene of decades-long Muslim unrest in this predominantly Roman Catholic nation.
Misuari has not appeared in public or issued any statement since his followers barged into Zamboanga city's coast early Monday and clashed with soldiers and police.
A gunbattle erupted at rebel-held Santa Catalina village on Wednesday, where an AP photographer saw from a distance about 30 villagers, believed to be hostages, who waved white cloths in front of a house and yelled, "Don't fire, don't fire."
Zamboanga City Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco said the rebels were demanding international mediation, adding that the rebels have so far refused to talk with provincial officials.
"They say that it's an international problem, and no less than the international community, the U.N., should come in," she told ABS-CBN TV network.
Associated Press writers Jim Gomez and Teresa Cerojano in Manila contributed to this report.
