I am very grateful for what the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) has done, and is doing.
In fact, had it not been for the DAR, I may have never created the Family Forest®.
My Aunt Marge was a member of the DAR, and it was her encouragement over the years that finally resulted in me wanting to discover my ancestral roots.
In appreciation, and in memory of Aunt Marge, from now until March 8, 2015 (her birthdate in 1922), Millisecond Publishing Company, Inc. will be gifting to the DAR the lion's share (meaning more than half) of all gross sales revenues of the Family Forest® Descendants of King Edward III.
We will be spreading this gift equally between three DAR entities. One third will go to the Hawai'i Loa Chapter (which is my wife Kristine's chapter) on the Big Island of Hawaii, one third will go to the Hawaii State Society in Honolulu, and one third will go to the NSDAR in Washington, DC.
The Edward III eBook chronicles a huge number of generation-by-generation pathways that begin with King Edward III and lead to present day or the recent past. Included are many DAR members, and DAR Patriot Ancestors.
I am sure that my Aunt Marge, my Godmother, would be both amazed and proud to discover that the Family Forest® has now become a very powerful supplemental and complimentary resource for the DAR archives, and it is probably the best non-DAR resource for potential and existing DAR members.
Thank you Daughters of the American Revolution for all you do to preserve our American Heritage and pass it down to future generations.

You want to know what is the best place to live. With the Life Quality Index, or LQI, we make it a lot easier to decide which place is better to live.
The LQI is calculated by combining all our data on transportation, safety, health, affordability, entertainment, demographics, leisure and other essentials for everyday life. All our data comes from very reliable sources, like the MTA, NYPD, Google, Socrata, Foursquare and the U.S. Census to offer you the best information to find the right place to live.
You want to be free to go wherever you want, when you want. So in our LQI we use all the available data on public transport, taxi services, parking places and the distance to the city center or the next borough when calculating the livability of a place.
Life is all about the small things, so if you have everything you need nearby, then that is a great plus! When we calculate the Daily Life for the LQI, we take everything into account. Ranging from the distance to the nearest convenience stores and places of worship to Wi-Fi Hotspots and financial services.
You want to feel safe in your new home, so in the LQI you will be able to find all our data on crime levels and the nearest police and fire stations for that particular place.
Health is important to us all. In the LQI we include everything related to your well-being: the proximity to health and medical facilities, but also pollution levels, the proximity you live to busy truck routes or factories, and even the number of noise complaints.
When you have time off, you want to relax and have fun. So the closer to sport facilities, beauty salons and spas, running tracks and interesting places, the better.
Let's face it, what would life be without restaurants, bars, cafes, museums and other entertainment venues? That's why we include it in our LQI.
We use data on demographics to calculate our Life Quality Index. We all want to feel welcome in our community and at home in our neighborhood. Things like average income, education levels, and poverty index are all taken into account to create the LQI.
Place I Live is an efficient tool designed to know more about neighborhoods. By using the maps as well as checking the Life Quality Index ratings you can get more information about such areas as health, safety, leisure and more.
You can view the map to get a better overview of life quality on Hancock Street in New York City. The map can give you information about different locations found on this street no matter if you are just viewing the address or looking for a park near Hancock Street.
|Bird`s eye
The information can also give you more background if you are planning to live or you are already living on Hancock Street. You can also find out about the community of inhabitants on this street and the overall information such as crime rate, pollution and more. Of course, if you don't find anything interesting on Hancock Street, you can always check the map to see streets that are near, as well as the whole neighborhood, and the rest of New York City.

As they say on this TV show I saw once, "Winter is Coming." And since it's getting colder and everyone who's anyone is switching over to winter tires and packing the scrapers, we should probably take a look at what not to do. Specifically, which cars have given you hell when all hath frozen over.
Growing up my dad had a Volvo 240DL just like the one above, except it was brown. And not one of those fancy browns that are more like copper that all the cool kids are sporting nowadays. No, this one was more of a poop brown. But because it was a Volvo from 1984, it was built like a tank and it lasted pretty much forever until the exhaust system just fell out the bottom one day.
Can't win 'em all, I suppose.
One of my overarching memories of that car, though, was just how terrifying it was in the winter. It's not that it oversteered when it got a bit slippy, but more like it just decided to start doing donuts randomly whenever it felt like it. That's fine for Sebastian Vettel, but not so much when you're in the middle of a New York winter trying to do the school run.
Many trees and many other cars were just barely avoided.
I'm not sure what factors combined to make it so terrible in the snow. It didn't really have much power, but it was rear-wheel-drive with the skinniest, baldest of tires. Coming from Sweden, I expected better.
So what do you think are the worst cars for winter? Show us below in the comments!

Who thinks Wall Street has a reputation problem and that increased regulation is needed to restore trust in the financial services industry? Wall Street, that's who.
Many surveys have established that Wall Street and Washington have been in ill repute in recent years, but the 2012 Makovsky Wall Street Reputation Study is unique in surveying not the masses but the executive suites.
"There are tons of surveys of the public," says Scott Tangney (left), who works in Makovsky's financial services industry practice. "We wanted to poll the people on the front lines—the people in charge of keeping the companies' reputations."
To that end, the New York-based consulting firm hired the research firm Echo to survey 150 marketing and communications executives at publicly traded and privately owned banks, investment companies, brokerage firms, mutual fund and ETF companies and the like.
The survey population consisted of senior-level executives—chief marketing officers, vice presidents, directors and managers at large and midsize firms. Within that survey population, the margin of error is plus or minus eight percentage points at a 95% confidence level, Tangney says.
Perhaps surprisingly, nearly all of them—96%—say financial services companies invited the public's negative perceptions through their actions or inaction.
Tangney, who presented his survey's findings to financial communications executives Tuesday at the New York Yacht Club, said—in a separate interview with AdvisorOne—that nearly two-thirds of those surveyed said their companies' own management of the crisis had the biggest negative impact on Wall Street's reputation over the past 12 months.
Indeed, a majority of respondents—57%—grade Wall Street's public relations effort with a C, D or F.
"We've had a crisis of reputation that's really a crisis of confidence that's spilled over to retail investors," Tangney says. "Markets are really volatile and investors are on the sidelines. They're not comfortable with the market. The flash crash, MF Global blowing up—these are issues that are keeping the wound open."
A key issue that Wall Street's reputation managers fear is keeping wounds open is executive compensation—81% of respondents see it as a problem.
"Battles over executive pay will probably be [an issue] this proxy season," Tangney says.
Another perhaps surprising finding is that 77% of survey respondents view employee communications as a key reputational "headwind" for the coming year.
"After Occupy Wall Street and the financial crisis, there was a lot of concern in the industry about recruiting. Also there was concern about employee reaction," Tangney says.
"'Should I be working for this company? Is this company doing good, providing for a social need?' A lot of the communications effort was internal as well as external. [Financial services companies] need to communicate to their employees first because employees need to explain issues to their clients and correct the record."
So for reasons both external and internal, 73% of respondents feel that marketing and communications efforts will grow in importance. Indeed, one senior marketing executive remarked in Tuesday's panel discussion that marketing executives want to have a say even on matters such as pricing because of the reputational impact issues like that can have. Negative reaction to banks' efforts to increase debit fees was cited as an example.
Another of the survey's surprise findings was the extent to which regulation is actively desired by Wall Street's communications executives.
"77% are counting on regulation to help them build their reputations and trust faster. They're actually working with regulators to make sure they're not going to drive the car off the road," Tangney says.
The Makovsky executive adds regulation of Wall Street "is more of a collaborative thing whereas it is portrayed as an adversarial thing. Even Lloyd Blankfein was quoted as saying he's fine with regulation, but how far to do you go until it impedes business operations?"
The survey respondents gave their highest marks to Wells Fargo for best corporate reputation among financial services companies. The company "stayed quiet, stuck to their knitting," Tangney says.
Though panelists at Tuesday's event warned of the danger of being too quiet. "A lot of companies go quiet. Where they see dramatic improvement in reputation is more when the company engages. Reaching out, talking about consumer concerns—that really makes a difference," Tangney says.
The Makovsky executive concludes: "Leadership in financial services industry is in limbo. Building reputation and trust not only…improves customer satisfaction, but also helps to rebuild value from an investor point of view."

Solar-Powered Electric Vehicle Charging Stations
Saint Paul is one of the first cities in the nation to offer this type of station, solidifying its status as a leader in sustainable energy
Today, Mayor Chris Coleman, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, Xcel Energy, Commissioner Paul Aasen and other local officials unveiled two new solar-powered electric car charging stations in Saint Paul's Como Regional Park.
Located at Como Lake and McMurray Fields, they are the first of their kind in Minnesota. Powered by the sun, they generate no air pollution. These particular charging stations have the capacity to charge two vehicles at a time.
"Having these charging stations located in a regional destination like Como Park is a good fit for the demand we've seen from our environmentally-conscious users," Mayor Chris Coleman said. "The electric car industry is growing, and Saint Paul is ready. We are paving the way for a sustainable future, and will continue to lay the infrastructure for electric vehicles across the metro."
City officials also introduced three new electric vehicles to its fleet at the event; two Chevy Volts and a Ford Transit Connect.
Saint Paul has made great strides in utilizing sustainable energy. With four electric vehicles in its fleet, electric charging stations in many downtown ramps, solar panels on the roofs of government buildings and more, the city has become a national leader in clean energy.
"The leadership of Saint Paul and our clean energy partners here today demonstrates that we understand that energy efficiency isn't just a competitive advantage, it's a competitive necessity in our global economy. I believe the federal government can and should partner with cities, states and organizations to deliver clean energy initiatives like this," Congresswoman Betty McCollum said.
"Xcel Energy is pleased to partner with the City of Saint Paul to give customers another clean energy choice," said Judy Poferl, president and CEO of Northern States Power Co.-Minnesota, an Xcel Energy company. "Today, customers can not only plug in their EVs, but they can plug into a clean solar resource. That's an exciting first and an exceptional fit with this premiere park environment."
"We've worked hard to be on the forefront of a number of sustainable innovations throughout our parks and recreation system, and these stations will only help further those efforts," Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Director Mike Hahm said.
The charging stations, open today, will charge $1 per hour.
The solar charging stations, paid for in part from a $2.8 million federal stimulus grant through the U.S. Department of Energy, cost $35,000 per unit and are eligible for a total rebate of $8,910 from the Xcel Energy Solar*Rewards program. The electric vehicles were paid for through stimulus dollars, Xcel Energy and the City of Saint Paul. Overall, stimulus dollars paid for about 60 percent and Xcel Energy and the City of Saint Paul each paid about 20 percent of the total cost for solar installations, charging stations and four electric vehicles.
The city is working with Drive Electric Minnesota, a partnership of local and state government, Xcel Energy, businesses and nonprofit entities working in collaboration to bring electric vehicles and plug-in charging infrastructure to Minnesota.

Undergraduate Programs
Our department offers a highly ranked, comprehensive undergraduate curriculum, which requires 128 hours of course work leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering.
The first two years of study for undergraduate students build the base needed for the civil and environmental engineering education: students take physics, math, chemistry, theoretical and applied mechanics, and some general engineering courses. Students can also take several electives at this time.
The last two years of study involve primarily civil and environmental engineering courses. Students elect a primary and secondary area of study from the seven areas of concentration and three cross-cutting programs within the department.
Graduate Programs
Many of the leaders in Civil and Environmental Engineering -- in academia, research, and practical engineering -- have founded their future on the benefits of an advanced degree program. For many positions, a graduate degree is required or considered a key point of personal development. Our department offers one of the top-ranked Civil and Environmental Engineering graduate programs in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report. Both MS and PhD degrees are available in a variety of specialized areas. Emphasis is placed on advanced study and participation in creative research.
The MS degree may be completed with or without a thesis. In the environmental engineering and science program, most MS students prepare a thesis, but in the other programs of the department, most MS students do not. The MS degree requires 32 hours of graduate course credit if a thesis is part of the program (with 8 of the 32 hours comprising the thesis), and 36 hours without a thesis. The non-thesis MS degree is also available online. The PhD program requires 32 additional hours of coursework beyond the MS degree, followed by a comprehensive research program and preparation of a dissertation. The department also offers two joint degrees: the master of architecture and master of science in civil engineering (Structures), and a joint master of business administration and construction engineering and management.

This week's Sanctuary followed up the premiere episode by murdering the skeletons of the Super Mario Bros. We're not sure who these crypt-soldiers are working for - our best guess would be Shredder - but the slaughter can be laid on the hands of Amanda Tapping's 157 year old (and spry) cryptozoologist and her mercenary daughter. This prompts us to ask the writers of the show: if you're going to steal, why not steal from the best?Last night's episode concerned a centuries-old cult and echoes of the bubonic plague - and the only efforts at the science part of "science fiction" was Amanda Tapping looking vaguely concerned at the prospect of a CGI corpse. I don't suppose these Stargate vets have read Connie Willis' masterful Doomsday Book, the best presentation of the Middle Ages ever done in the genre? Had they done some research, there was a fine episode here buried under layers of dead skeletons. Once you've got a bunch of people with skulls for heads being gunned down willy-nilly, is time travel really that much of a stretch?
It's not that Sanctuary is entirely bad, it's that even when it's good, it's having trouble rooting itself in any firm ground between humans and CGI monsters. At the premiere, exec producer Damian Kindler mentioned an episode that takes place entirely in one warehouse-like setting. It's high time they brought that convention of the cobwebs and bonded these people together in some meaningful way.
I still believe there's a hint of something promising here in this concept. On the Fringe podcast this week show executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci answered a question about the future of Anna Torv and Joshua Jackson's characters: basically, will there be intercourse? The Fringe creators responded by saying that you don't want to plan everything out on a series. It's fun to watch things happen to the characters along with the audience instead of plotting everything to the hilt. With that said, explicit CGI-enhanced sex between psychologist (Robin Dunne) and Amanda Tapping's Hayden Panettiere-inspired daughter (Emilie Ullerup) should probably be pushed to episode 3, and fast. Did you watch, and did you weep softly during each brutal murder?

Complete Story
McSlarrow: Don't 'Stimulate' New Competitors
By: John Eggerton, Multichannel News
WASHINGTON — The National Telecommunications & Information Administration and the Agriculture Department's Rural Utilities Service are trying to figure out who gets $7 billion-plus in economic stimulus money. Cable operators and telcos are kicking the tires on a program that offers grant money to deploy broadband service in "underserved" areas. National Cable & Telecommunications Association president Kyle McSlarrow, in an interview with John Eggerton of Multichannel News, said many companies are interested in getting grants, but want to know how the open-access conditions are interpreted and how the grant and loan program is structured. An edited transcript follows:
Kyle McSlarrow: Yes, in the sense that it really matters a lot how [the government] interprets whatever that condition is going to be. Congress kind of gave the agencies an out by saying it ranges from sort of adopting the [Federal Communications Commission] policy statement that already exists to something else.
MCN: We assume it is the "something else" that will be troublesome?
KM: Yes, I think that as you move along that continuum, we have communicated that the more you layer on in terms of conditions, the less attractive the investments could potentially be. We're not going to presume anything yet. I think we have a lot of companies who are potentially interested, but until we see the whole package and can actually weigh the relative opportunities versus requirements and conditions, people aren't going to know whether or not this is for them.
MCN: Is the gist of the cable industry's position that you don't want the government to subsidize new competitors to cable?
KM: Yes. I think it is a place where we think our No. 1 legitimate concern coincides with what ought to be the No. 1 legitimate concern of policymakers. Why would you, and you truly would be, wasting money to provide service in areas that already have it, when you've got actual challenges with unserved America or adoption challenges with low-income households, where you can really take this money and move the needle in a significant way?
The best they could do is take $7 billion and put it in a marketplace where we and the telecoms together are going to invest several times that ourselves this year. So all they could accomplish would be unwittingly to screw up the investment decisions that these companies are planning to make already. You want them to continue making those investment decisions. You don't want there to be any doubt that [the companies] should continue making the investment and the money should go to the area where those investment decisions aren't reaching.
MCN: Can you live with partnering with government or nonprofits if that is the price of admission, or is that a nonstarter?
KM: I don't think it is a nonstarter, I just don't think it is a good idea. I think many of our companies are looking to partner with a variety of nonprofits or potentially state agencies. The one good thing about this whole process is that a lot creative thinking and discussion is taking place. I think if people see an opportunity, and a partnership is part of it, I think they will want to be free to do so. But I think just to mandate it across the board, I think they are going to miss a lot of opportunities and a lot of other creative ideas that don't quite fit that mold.
MCN: Where do you stand on states both vetting the grant proposals and potentially aggregating their own proposals?
KM: I don't know. It is one of the things we have been thinking through. It is not obvious to me what is the right answer. States should have a role and probably from NTIA's perspective I would think it would be really important to get their input into it. I think that any time a state or government entity is both ranking the priority list and is also on it, [there] is a little bit of a conflict of interest. The states have an important role, but it is not clear to me exactly what the right answer is.
MCN: One argument made at the NTIA's public forum this week was: Why trust the buildout to incumbents when they are responsible for what was called the woeful state of broadband deployment?
KM: That's absurd. We can always say: "How can we do better as a country? How do we close the digital divide? How do we increase adoption?" But the idea that cable and the telecoms together have invested hundreds of billions of dollars and rolled our broadband so it is available to over 90% of the country, and every year our speeds are increasing dramatically and the price of the offering is staying in exactly the same place, to say that is other than a success story is absurd.
But it is a different point to say, OK, even if it is a success story, I think it is completely fair to say we have some gaps or we've got some other goals we'd like to layer on. That's fine. Let's have that conversation. But to presume that we have a crisis in broadband, is ridiculous.
MCN: What do you see being the timetable for getting these grants out? Seems like the agencies have a lot to do, in not very much time.
KM: I don't know. I think it is going to be lot harder than people imagine for this to get off the ground quickly ... in terms of the scale of the types of decisions and, just mechanically, how one pumps money out the door and does it in a way that is fair, good policy and avoids fraud, waste and abuse. The government actually takes a lot of time, and we normally call it red tape, to avoid those pitfalls and so I think they are going to have to strike a balance, but I am just dubious that you can make any major decisions that quickly.
MCN: You talked in this week's "Moving the Needle" paper about not deploying funds in a way that would harm existing broadband networks. What, specifically, would be those harmful ways?
KM: Just to be clear. I am not concerned about competition. There is not enough money here to actually subsidize a meaningful competitor. But my point is that it is a waste of money. And what they actually could harm would be the fabric of investment. Having money sloshing around in markets where you actually have real companies with real capital-expenditure needs, who are going to financial institutions to secure that capital, could be adversely affected if you have money sloshing around. You don't have the same concern, by definition, in unserved marketplaces.
So, I think any time we're talking about the government subsidizing the provision of broadband services in an area where you have extant broadband services you are going to run up against that problem. And in this economy, we need to be very careful that we don't unwittingly mess up what is already a very tough investment climate.
MCN: Are you concerned about the issue of private-company eligibility?
KM: I don't think that is really the issue, at least for private providers. The track record of municipalities or other entities that don't actually have ability or the wherewithal or even have the purpose of running a business is not a good one. It is so obvious that if want to move the needle on the provision of broadband services, you can't do it without existing companies that have the knowhow, the experience, the personnel and the ability to deploy those networks. You're not going to just build green-field networks that spring up from nothing.
MCN: On another subject, what is the status of the cable industry-led DTV call-center effort? Are you ready for June 12?
KM: I think it is unclear, in part because it is still uncertain what the stimulus money will be used for in terms of the call center [the stimulus bill sets aside $90 million for DTV education and outreach]. We have made clear that we are standing by and they are going to use us however they need to use us. But I think the expectation there is that there will be an increase in the efforts and resources of the government call center, so I would expect that our role could be much less proportionally than it was in the first round.
The bottom line is we're not going to leave them hanging.

Its a cloudy day but its not rainnig. 9h30 and there is already 200 persons going up. At the summit, there's a lot of fog but this add to the thrill. At the third summit, there's frost on the trees. On way back, it was a reel highway, not surprising on a thanksgiving day

Quel belle randonnée.. Nous avons fait d'agréables rencontres. Mon épouse venait d'accoucher quelques semaines auparavant.. Je crois qu'elle a trouver la montée un peu difficile mais nous en gardons de très beau souvenirs..

One of the most beautiful view from the summit of any mountain in Eastern Canada and US. You have drops of more than 750m down to the Malbaie river, quite impressive and spectacular.

Au Quebec c'est l'une, sinon la plus belle montagne que j'ai monté, rien à comparer avec celle du nord-est americain, mais bon, elle en vaut la peine. La seul chose que je déplore c'est la congestion dans la trail pour monter, quand y fait beau.

We stayed at La Pin Campground right across the road from the trailhead. WIthout having to wait for the bus, I was able to get an early start (5:30) and make a nice trail run to the summit. Didn't see any other people, but a porcupine scared the **** out of me as I rounded a corner about 2/3 of the way up. This trail is amazingly well-maintained. Lots of switchbacks, which you don't get in neighboring New England. The view is striking and expansive and takes in a large, remote tract of land. How many people know about this hidden gem of a hiking trail?

It was Rob playing the piano. I have the movie companion book and CH states when talking about Bella's lullaby that the crazily talented Rob Pattinson actually plays it on screen. He is extremely talented because he sings plays the piano ( and I think other instruments as well).heart_slayer_82 wrote: P.S I thought that it was rob pattinson playing the piano, not just pretending to play like a lot of actors do
I feel bad for Rob because he will always be associated w/Twilight & the character of Edward Cullen. I hope once the hype dies down (which might not be until after BD comes out if they make it into a film) that he'll be able to have somewhat of a normal life & not have all the crazy girls following him.

Christian Democrats in Zlin asked to pay thousands of crowns to run for office
Members of a regional branch of the Christian Democrats are being asked to pay up to 200,000 crowns (around 11,000 USD) if they want to be included in the party's list of candidates for early elections this autumn. On Monday, the newspaper Hospodářské noviny reported that the party was in dire need of money and hoped to plug some of its 25 million-crown shortage by charging its members standing for election. The proposal only affects members of the Christian Democrats belonging to the Zlin branch of the party. The suggestion is that all members of the regional branch's leadership pay 50,000 crowns for the privilege, while those high up the party's list of candidates, and therefore with the highest chance of being elected, pay up to 200,000 crowns into party coffers.

Centre-right opposition parties sign alliance memorandum for 2021 elections10/27/2020
The leaders of the Civic Democrats, Christian Democrats and the TOP 09 party met at the statue of former president T.G. Masaryk on Tuesday morning to sign a memorandum on forming an alliance for next year's 2021 elections into the Chamber of Deputies.
A similar coalition is currently being negotiated between the opposition Pirate Party and the Mayors and Independents.
Jan Blatný to become new health minister on Thursday10/27/2020
The Deputy Director of the Faculty Hospital in Brno Jan Blatný, will succeed Roman Prymula as Czech health minister. The official inauguration will take place on Thursday mid-day, President Miloš Zeman's spokesman Jiří Ovčáček announced after Mr. Blatný met with President Miloš Zeman in the latter's Lány residence on Tuesday afternoon.
News site iDnes.cz broke the story on Monday that Mr. Blatný was the proposed replacement for Mr. Prymula, citing a source familiar with the ongoing negotiations. However, Mr. Blatný can only assume office once he is approved by the president.
Jan Blatný is a pediatrician and hematologist. He has previously served as the Chief Physician at the Faculty Hospital in Brno and lectures at the Medical Faculty of the Masaryk University in Brno. He faced controversy during the spring first wave of the coronavirus pandemic from the NGO League of Human Rights, because he did not allow the parents of coronavirus infected children visits.
The current health minister, Roman Prymula, is set to leave office after being dismissed by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš for breaking the government's coronavirus measures. He was caught visiting a Prague restaurant last Wednesday.
Wednesday is set to be cloudy, with temperatures around 11 degrees Celsius. No rainfall is expected.
State of pandemic means Czech schools have to remain closed, says health minister10/27/2020
Czech schools will not reopen at the beginning of next week, Health Minister Roman Prymula announced on Tuesday. This despite an earlier promise that primary schools would definitely re-open from November 2. He said that the government will decide on when it plans to reopen schools after reviewing data towards the end of this week.
Both the opposition and the current Minister of Education Robert Plaga have cticisised the delay, saying that it is necessary to provide information on when schools will reopen now.
Czech schools, including primary education facilities, have been closed in the Czech Republic since October 14, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, which is regularly reaching new height in terms of infections and numbers of hospitalised. Classes are currently being taught via distance learning.
Government proposes extending state of emergency to December 310/27/2020
The Czech government has proposed that the current state of emergency be extended until December 3, Prime Minister Andrej Babiš announced on Tuesday. The proposal will have to be approved by the Chamber of Deputies, which is set to discuss the issue on Friday morning.
The prime minister said that the extension was necessary to keep the several emergency measures, that have been put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19, in place.
The Czech Republic has been in a state of emergency since October 5. It is currently among the most affected countries in Europe by the pandemic.
Care home residents to receive fast coronavirus tests, says labour minister10/27/2020
Czech social services have successfully tested the use of antigenic COVID-19 tests (sometimes also referred to as fast coronavirus tests), Labour and Social Affairs Minister Jana Maláčová announced on Tuesday. The tests are to be used for wide-range testing of senior citizens in social facilities, such as pensioner homes.
Antigenic tests take around 15 minutes to provide a result. However, they are also less reliable than standard testing. According to Minister of Health Roman Prymula, the tests will be used in social facilities such as pensioner homes, because they will be able to indicate the level of spread faster than normal PCR testing. The second, more reliable wave of tests would then follow.
Hundreds of police to be deployed during October 28 protests against coronavirus measures10/27/2020
Hundreds of police officers are set to be deployed to monitor demonstrations in the centre of Prague, planned on the occasion of the creation of the independent Czechoslovak state on October 28. Protests and associated events are planned on the Náměstí Republiky square, on Old Town Square and in the area of Klárov. Their primary goal is to protest against the ongoing government measures that restrict movement and have closed most shops and restaurants to curb the spread of COVID-19.
A previous protest against coronavirus measures, which took place less than two weeks ago, ended in a violent clash between protestors and the police. However, Prague Municipal Police spokesman Jan Daněk has said that the local police force does not expect this to happen on Wednesday.

Shireen Roshanravan, associate professor of American ethnic studies, was awarded the Jane Addams Prize for her paper, "Asian-American Visibility and the Coalitional Imperative," presented at the 2017 annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, March 17, in Birmingham, Alabama.
The Jane Addams Prize is awarded annually by the society's program committee for the best paper presented at the meeting on issues in feminist thought as they occur in American philosophies, including their intersections with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, disability and age. Roshanravan's paper argues that the current "Asians for Black Lives" mobilizations demonstrate what she calls the "coalitional imperative" of Asian-American feminist visibility in their spectacular exhibits of cross-racial solidarity. Roshanravan presented her paper as part of a panel on Asian-American feminist theory and praxis with Tamsin Kimoto, Emory University, and Erika Brown, Villanova University.
Norma A. Valenzuela, American ethnic studies faculty member, presented "Mestiza Consciousness a la MeXicana in Ultima and Agueda Martinez: Bridging and Legitimizing Querencia in the Borderlands" at the Southwest Council of Latin American Studies Conference, March 9-12, in Campeche, Mexico.
Valenzuela's work explores "querencia" — translated to "sense and love of place" — by examining the intersectionality of race, gender, class and nation as sites of contestation in the life of two major nuevomexicana protagonists: Ultima, a fictional character, and Agueda Martinez, a Chimayo weaver. Valenzuela uses their experiences to bridge and legitimize her own positionality within the Borderlands, specifically connecting rural/urban New Mexico and northern Mexico. The work discusses how Valenzuela's experiences enabled her to examine how she, as a transnational MeXicana, exists, inhabits and navigates a middle space within the Borderlands.

Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work
Don Kurtz, associate professor of social work co-published "The Gender in Stories: How War Stories and Police Narratives Shape Masculine Police Culture" in the journal Women and Criminal Justice with Lindsey Upton, assistant professor of sociology at Tennessee Tech. The paper examines storytelling and narrative development in police culture related to gendered aspects of policing. Officer statements indicate that women are frequently viewed through a gendered lens and that police storytelling appears an important context for understanding police culture. The types of stories explored in this paper: flow of action, war stories, and gender narratives, provide a context for understanding the (re)production of masculinity in policing. The authors have an additional paper with revise and resubmit status at another criminology journal that also explores police narratives and the unique context of stories within police culture.
Harald E.L. Prins, university distinguished professor of anthropology, published a chapter in the 2017 Metropolitan Museum of Art volume Irving Penn: Centennial.

We all know what Pedro de la Rosa thinks about women in motorsport. Now, we've got CBS Sports' Gregg Doyel weighing in on Danica Patrick's win, proclaiming the Indy Racing League to be an inferior racing series. Most people will agree the IRL isn't the highest pinnacle of motorsports, but Doyel thinks
"the IRL is not real racing. Not real good racing, anyway. It's not the best car circuit in this country — that would be NASCAR ... what is the IRL? It's a training ground for decent drivers who hope to be good enough to race somewhere important some day ... Winning in the IRL isn't a matter of talent..."
" Wait, what? He thinks NASCAR takes more skill? Hmm. Certainly there are some very skilled NASCAR drivers, and sure, there is competition, but it seems to us like Doyel is just shooting his mouth off. Suggesting the IRL isn't real racing, given the timing, comes across like Gregg is trying to deny Danica's skills. Which he then proceeds to do:
"The IRL is the junior varsity of racing, is what I'm saying. Danica Patrick finally won herself a JV race, and that's good for her, and it's a neat story. The first woman to do anything — the first man to do anything, too — is always cool. But let's not take this too far, OK?"
Reading the full article, you get the feeling that Doyel doesn't think he's being sexist. Isn't that sort of like how Max Mosley doesn't think of himself as a Nazi? [CBS Sports via VWvortex]

Yale researcher on brink of baldness cure
Answering the prayers of millions of men and women the world over, a Yale doctor might have found a cure for baldness.
Using a drug designed to treat rheumatoid arthritis, dermatologist Dr. Brett A. King helped a 25-year-old patient with nearly no hair on his body grow a full head of hair in eight months. The man had alopecia universalis, a rare form of hair loss that has no cure or long-term treatment.
Though there's a long way to go until King and his colleagues declare victory over baldness, he said his recent findings are promising.
"It is really exciting," said King, an assistant professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. "At the very least, this means many folks who have been told there isn't a solution may now have a solution."
Others in the alopecia community also are optimistic, if cautiously so. "We are excited about any research that shows potential to re-grow hair in people with alopecia areata," said Gary Sherwood, spokesman for the California-based National Alopecia Areata Foundation. "While we remain hopeful, this is a preliminary study with only one individual and needs to be further studied in larger populations."
Christine Marotta, a Fairfield County resident who has had alopecia for decades, said the Yale research had interesting implications.
"It sounds promising," said Marotta, who provides telephone support for Connecticut residents with alopecia areata.
There are several varieties of alopecia, which is just another word for hair loss, King said. The most common form is alopecia areata, which affects 4.5 million Americans. In this form of the disease, the hair falls out in patches. Alopecia universalis is the rarest form of the illness, and involves the loss of nearly all body hair.
Alopecia is an autoimmune disease, meaning the body (in this case, the hair follicles) is attacked by its own immune system.
King said there are some treatments for alopecia areata, primarily the injection of steroids into the scalp. But it's harder to treat areata patients with "countless" bald spots, or patients with alopecia totalis -- or complete baldness of the scalp. "There are oral steroids, but that is very unreliable," King said. "And steroids given by mouth are not a long-term solution."
There are even fewer options for those with alopecia universalis. King said when the 25-year-old patient, who lives in New Haven County, came to him, it was to treat his psoriasis, not his hair loss. "There wasn't even a question" that doctors could treat the man's alopecia. But despite the seemingly hopeless situation, King thought it might be possible to treat the man's psoriasis and hair loss using an drug called tofacitinib citrate. The drug was approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis, which, like alopecia, is an autoimmune disease.
King said the work of another researcher, Columbia University scientist Angela Christiano, inspired his decision to try the treatment. Christiano showed that tofacitinib and a related medicine reversed alopecia areata in mice.
After two months of treatment with the medication, not only did the patient's psoriasis show improvement, but he'd grown scalp and facial hair. After three more months of treatment with a higher dose of the medication, the man completely regrew scalp hair and had clearly visible eyebrows, eyelashes and facial hair. By eight months of treatment, there was a full regrowth of hair, and the patient reported no side effects.
King and his colleague Dr. Brittany G. Craiglow wrote a paper on the trial, which was published this week in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology.
The next step, King said, is getting approval for a topical version of the medication and conducting a larger trial. That next stage could be some time away, but King said his hopes are high that the medication will be helpful in treating not just alopecia universalis, but also other forms of baldness.
"It may be effective for other kinds of hair loss, but maybe not all other kinds," King said.

Back to top hagakuriJoined: 03 Mar 2003Posts: 84Location: Nishi-Shinjuku JAPAN Posted: Sat Oct 11, 2003 4:07 am Post subject: Sarasas Ektra Hello, Sarasas Ektra was the first of the Sarasas schools. It has one of the better reputations among the twenty-something schools there are now. It doesnt have the high staff turn-over as many of the other schools do. It also is small in comparission so there is still that more cozy feeling. Where the staff all know you, and you know all the rest of the staff. I havent heard a bad thing come out of this particular school. One thing to be aware of is that I heard of recruiters saying that you will work at a particular school.... but be transferred to another. So, if you are getting hired for Ektra - make sure that it is indeed Ektra. One school I would advise against is Sarasas Bangbon. The school is full of administrative problems, teachers bailing at all times of the year, expansion that has no logistical planning behind it (common in thailand.) Oh, lets build another 6 story building to take in another 700 students. WHOOPS we dont have parking, or roads to handle the additional intake. Traffic? What is traffic? Hmmm we forgot now we need bigger kitchens to make lunches - but we dont have space. These types of things. Ektra seems safe though from what I have heard. Hope this helps.

Yes, admin problems, building ghost buildings (one now stands empty, one 7-story nearing completion) and lots of money spent on pretty trees and landscaping (while the school has vey little supplies and resources.)

Hi stiv, thanks for quick reply!stiv wrote:In it, you could include more information. Something like:
You are right, I could have included some more information. The "compile guide" I was referring to is located here:
It seems to be outdated...
What I tried:
Installed a fresh Ubuntu 15.10 Desktop (64 bit). Then got all necessary packages mentioned in the compile guide. After that, I downloaded Warzone 3.1.3 from here:
https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2 ... /3.1.3.zip
unpacked it and entered "./autogen.sh && ./configure && make".
This does not work (see error message above). It seems that you need to download the sources via git commands.
--> So I installed git package (not mentioned in compile guide). Then used this commend for download:
git clone https://github.com/Warzone2100/warzone2100 -b 3.1.3 --single-branch
(Not sure if this is right but seems to work somehow...)
Then went into the WZ directory and started "./autogen.sh && ./configure && make". -> no Error now!
Meanwhile I've realized that user Staff wrote something about "git fetch origin --tags; git checkout 3.1.3" in his initial post. That I had already tried. But it did not work of course, because there wasn't any git configuration.
Still not certainly sure if this was the reason for the whole problem...

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - NBC unwrapped a welcome gift in the final week of 2012, a ratings victory powered by Sunday night football.
More than 30 million viewers watched the Washington Redskins defeat the Dallas Cowboys and claim their first division title in 13 years, according to Nielsen Co. figures released Tuesday.
The NFL contest drew the biggest audience in 16 years for a regular-season prime-time game, second to a 1996 Packers-Cowboy contest, NBC said.
The network, making a comeback after a string of lacklustre seasons, ranked No. 1 in total viewers and in the advertiser-favoured young adult demographic for Dec. 24-30.
In a week that TV typically surrenders to the holidays, CBS captured half of the top 10 slots with repeats of reliable series including "The Big Bang Theory." The Kennedy Center Honors special also performed well for CBS, drawing 8.2 million viewers to claim the 13th spot.
For the week overall, NBC averaged 7.35 million viewers in prime time (4.3 rating, 8 share). CBS was second with 6.6 million viewers (4.3 rating, 7 share), while ABC had 3.97 million (2.3 rating, 4 share), Fox had 3.95 million (2.3 rating, 4 share), the CW had 990,000 (.6 rating, 1 share) and Ion had 1.15 million (.8 rating, 1 share).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with an average of 3.36 million viewers (1.6 rating, 3 share). Telemundo had 1.1 million (0.6 rating, 1 share), TeleFutura had 1 million (0.5 rating, 1 share), Estrella had 220,000 (0.1 rating, 0 share) and Azteca had 90,000 (0.1 rating, 0 share).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.1 million viewers (5.9 household rating, 11 share). ABC's "World News" was second with 8.3 million (5.4 rating, 10 share) and the "CBS Evening News" had 7.2 million viewers (4.8 rating, 9 share).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 per cent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For Dec. 24-30, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "NBC Sunday Night Football," NBC, 30.3 million; "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 21.9 million; "The OT," Fox, 17.8 million; "Football Night America (Part 3)," NBC, 15.9 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 12 million; "Person of Interest," 10.33 million, CBS; "60 Minutes," CBS, 10.27 million; "NCIS," CBS, 9.8 million; "NBA Christmas Special," ABC, 9.6 million; "NCIS Los Angeles," CBS, 8.6 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox is a unit of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V.

Should Obama Follow Ambitious Recommendations?by -
Note: this response was originally posted on the National Journal's Energy & Environment Blog. You can read the entire post here, including the contributions of other experts.
The Obama Administration absolutely must pursue immediate action on global warming. From both an environmental and an economic perspective, we simply cannot afford to wait any longer; over the last eight years, we have squandered too much of our very limited time. As each successive report emerges from the scientific community, we find ourselves ever closer to irreversible and extremely costly global damages. To take just one example, this last year witnessed the lowest annual Arctic sea ice levels on record. For the first time in recorded history, it is possible to sail around the entire polar ice cap in open ocean---and the entire Arctic may have ice free summers by 2030---with incalculable consequences for global weather patterns.
The cornerstone of action on global warming---as President-elect Obama reaffirmed Tuesday---should be an economy-wide cap-and-trade system, with a long-term target to reduce emissions 80% below 1990 levels over the next four decades. Cap-and-trade will create the price signal that allows markets to respond, and creates critical incentives for clean energy investment, job creation, and entrepreneurship throughout the economy.
However, cap-and-trade alone will probably not be sufficient. We will also need explicit government support for R&D on critical technology and infrastructure, such as carbon capture & sequestration as well as renewable energy. Carbon capture technology in particular faces a daunting array of technical, financial, and regulatory hurdles, putting it decades away from commercial-scale use. But we need solutions to the coal dilemma today. The United States should immediately fund large-scale demonstration projects to accelerate the deployment of carbon capture technology, as well as next-generation renewables such as advanced solar power.
Using the Clean Air Act (CAA) to help control CO2 pollution is also a sound approach that can work alongside---or in the absence of, should Congress be slow in adopting legislation---a strong cap-and-trade regime. The CAA has a proven record of success (including the SO2 emissions trading program, which pioneered cap-and-trade) and is already familiar to industry. But it would be only a partial substitute for economy-wide policies, which would create incentives for greater efficiency, and provide R&D funding to lower new technology costs.
Some have suggested that advancing global warming policy under both the Clean Air Act and as separate cap-and-trade legislation will create a so-called regulatory "patchwork," with multiple policies working at cross-purposes. It is indeed important that policymakers work to harmonize new and existing policies, and streamline requirements where possible. However, this concern can---and often is---managed in both environmental and other arenas. Agriculture, transportation, workplace safety and health policies, to name a few examples, are often subject to the regulations of multiple regulatory agencies at the state and federal levels. In fact, the Clean Air Act itself may contribute to harmonization---in the current system, federal and state partnerships work in tandem to address criteria pollutants, reducing conflicts. While an economy-wide program may result in some degree of regulatory overlap, it need not be problematic, and a new Administration, committed to effective and streamlined climate policy, will be in a position to minimize any such conflicts and take advantage of synergies in multiple policy arenas.
Given the urgency of acting, and the overall scale of the effort required, it seems foolish to waste any policy tool---within the remit of current executive authority or through new legislation---that could usefully contribute to the larger solution we seek.

Appel tosses first bullpen after appendectomy
KISSIMMEE, Fla. -- A January appendectomy brought Mark Appel more than pain. It brought him perspective.
"I don't want to say an appendectomy is a good thing, but it really gave me time to just think about the things I need to accomplish at Spring Training," Appel said. "Laying down in bed for a couple of days just really helped me prepare myself mentally for what to expect and just the stuff that I need to do."
On Thursday, Appel went through his first bullpen session this season. He fired 22 pitches from a mix of the wind-up and the stretch on the mound.
"I was going to end on the 21st one, but it wasn't a good pitch," Appel joked. "So I threw one more."
Appel felt good following the exercise. He said the soreness he felt was nothing more than the standard that comes with bullpen sessions.
"It felt great," Appel said. "I love getting to pitch, and I love getting to go out there and compete. I know I wasn't competing against a hitter today, but I was just competing against myself."
Before his bullpen session on Thursday morning, Appel said he was feeling "80-85 percent" recovered from his appendectomy. Following the conclusion of the day's workouts, Appel is not sure when he will throw again.
"I think I'll feel good," Appel said of possibly pitching another bullpen session on Friday. "We have one of the best training staffs in the country, so I'm sure that they'll get me ready and I'll put in the work to be ready for [Friday] and see what the day has in store for me."
Appel, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's MLB First-Year Player Draft, has a large legacy to live up to in Houston. Luckily, two of the men who cast that long shadow -- Roger Clemens and Roy Oswalt -- were in Kissimmee on Thursday.
Clemens has proven especially helpful to Appel, advising the 22-year-old to stay focused in the face of distractions both during Spring Training and the regular season.
"It's amazing having Roger Clemens here at camp, just the amount of knowledge he has about the game," Appel said. " … He's just a passionate guy. He loves this game. He loves Houston, and he loves the Astros. That's really cool being a part of the Astros.
"He's really rooting for us. He's in our corner. I think it's just so cool that even though he's retired, he's making himself available to whoever wants to talk to him."
In a young 2014 that has already seen Appel rub shoulders with Clemens and undergo an appendectomy, all while owning the status of one of baseball's hottest prospects, the Stanford grad from the state where everything is bigger knows that his path to the big leagues is paved with the small things.
"Months down the road, years down the road, the stuff I do right now in these times that don't seem important is really going to define me," Appel said.
