A landmark ruling that allows people in Europe to ask for personal data to be removed from Google will completely change the way people use the Internet, a computer expert has warned.
Professor Luciano Floridi, who has been appointed by Google to find out how it should comply with an EU court ruling, said the era of freely available information is now over in Europe.
According to The Independent, Google received 12,000 requests on Friday, around 20 a minute, from Internet users across Europe asking for their personal information to be removed from the search engine's results.
More than 1,500 of these requests are believed to have come from people in the UK claiming they have "the right to be forgotten".
Dr Floridi, who is professor of philosophy and the ethics of information at Oxford University, said that the ruling has "raised the bar so high that the old rules of the Internet no longer apply".
The ruling by the European Court of Justice earlier this month found that 500 million Internet users across Europe have the right to ask Google to remove information that they believe is damaging or a breach of privacy.
However, Dr Floridi believes the judgment will have a perverse effect as it could place even more power into the hands of Google.
He said: "People would be screaming if a powerful company suddenly decided what information could be seen by what people, when and where.
"That is the consequence of this decision. A private company now has to decide what is in the public interest."
He added that if he was the chief executive of a reputation management agency, he would be "laughing".
He said: "They now have the power to ask for embarrassing information about their clients to be removed. Everything is up for debate."
More than half of the UK requests to have information removed have to date come from convicted criminals, with an ex-MP seeking re-election also among the applicants to Google's new service.

text: Funny or Die Launches News Hub (Exclusive) 7:00 AM PDT 10/8/2014 by Natalie Jarvey FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME "You can be entertained while getting your news" Funny or Die is tackling the news with the Wednesday launch of its newest content vertical. Funny or Die News will feature daily editorial content about current events from the comedy website. The hub, which will be featured on the Funny or Die website and mobile app, is being overseen by editor-in-chief Dan Abramson, who leads editorial content and launched the Funny or Die digital magazine The Occasional. He will work with a team of four, led by news editor Nate Dern, out of New York. "We've always done topical pieces," Abramson tells The Hollywood Reporter. "But by having a new vertical and a new staff dedicated to news, we're going to be really focused on having a lot more of them." He points to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as a model for how to combine covering the news with comedy. "You can be entertained while getting your news," he adds. "This should be something that people can go to to stay informed but also get some really great comedy out of it." Initially, Funny or Die News will focus on blog posts that feature coverage of the day's most important news, longer thoughtful pieces and columns from a roster of real and character-driven columnists. The site will include a blend of stories on a variety of topics, including politics, entertainment, science and sports. Funny or Die videos that take on topical issues will also appear on the news hub. Abramson says his team has talked about adding video once the Funny or Die News becomes more established. "When people stopped trusting the news years ago they turned to sources like The Daily Show and The Onion for their information," added Funny or Die co-founder Adam McKay in a statement. "Now that they've become respectable sources it's time for an even less respectable news outlet. We believe Funny Or Die can fill the void." Joining Abramson's news team are The Onion Digital Studios veteran Matt Klinman, comedic writer John Howell Harris and YA novelist Melinda Taub.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Pro wakeboarder Brad Smeele, 28, went from doing complicated back flips and turns on a Central Florida lake to facing paralysis from the neck down in the intensive care unit at an Orlando hospital.
Friends said Smeele was attempting a first-of-its-kind trick July 6 when he had a rough landing. On his next attempt, something went terribly wrong: He didn't complete a flip and crash-landed on a ramp headfirst.
"It was the worst possible way to fall. He had his arms out in front of him but he landed head and neck," said Smeele's best friend and competitor, Jeff Weatherall.
Smeele, a New Zealand-native, now needs help breathing and is fighting pneumonia, all while facing a harsh prognosis from doctors -- that he only has a 1 to 2 percent chance he'll even be able to move his upper body again.
That prognosis hasn't stopped hundreds from believing in him, according to Weatherall. Weatherall said an online campaign to raise money for Smeele's medical expenses has raised tens of thousands. He said Smeele is optimistic, too.
Weatherall said after doctors treat Smeele's pneumonia, they hope to move him to a hospital in Colorado, where he'll receive care from world-renowned experts on spinal injuries.
Smeele's brother, Alex Smeele, told Local 6 every moment of the phone call alerting him of Brad's accident is crystal clear.
"As soon as I heard my mom's voice I knew something was wrong," said Alex Smeele.
Alex Smeele flew in from London and is here to support his brother, along with his mom who made the trip from New Zealand. He said if anyone can turn a bleak prognosis into a miracle, it's his brother.
"It may be the toughest competition that he's ever won, but he's going to win it," he said. "A 1 to 2 percent chance for Brad is better than a 50 percent chance for most of us."
Once Brad Smeele's medical expenses and recovery are paid for, his family hopes to raise funds to support others with spinal injuries.

The Cloud has long been touted as the cure-all for your digital pain points. Out of storage space? Send it to The Cloud. Don't know where to back up your data? The Cloud is the perfect place. Want to share your vacation pictures? Put them on The Cloud!
But just what is "The Cloud" and how in the world does it work?
So on behalf of our tech experts, we present
Cloud 101: Everything You Need to Know to Trust the Cloud
Lesson 1: All of the Clouds
There is not just one cloud; there are many clouds. Inside each cloud are computers just like yours, except they're usually much bigger and faster, and they are always connected to the Internet. Those computers are called servers and those servers exist in a building someplace alongside many others. So really, a "cloud" is just a room of powerful computers connected to the Internet. When you save data to The Cloud, you are simply sending your files to another computer for safe keeping.
Lesson 2: Storing (and restoring) your Data
If you store your data in one of the many cloud services available today—or even on your PC— you want to make sure you'll be able to access that data again and transfer it to different devices. If something happens to your cellphone or laptop, you want to make sure you can restore all the data (pictures, videos, emails and contacts) that was on it.
A major concern here is the security of the cloud-based application you use. Some companies are not accustomed to protecting your data, but we are. Asurion uses virtually unbreakable encryption techniques to make sure that even if your private pictures and videos are somehow intercepted by hackers, they cannot be viewed. This technology comes standard on all our products, available at your wireless carrier.
Lesson 3: How to Pick the Best Cloud
Here are 3 things to think about when picking The Cloud for you.
1. Always there
A lot of companies start only to shut down a few months later. Be sure that The Cloud you save to will be sticking around. For example, your phone service provider probably isn't going anywhere and would be a good choice.
2. Easy to use
Using The Cloud should be easy and even automatic. Set it and forget it until you need it again! Automatic syncing allows you to establish your preferences once, then never think about it again. This keeps you from losing any data should you forget to upload it to The Cloud one week.
3. Everywhere
You'll want a service that provides simple access to your files from all of your connected devices (phones, laptops, and tablets). This makes sharing your pictures and videos with friends and family easy too, since it can be done from any device.
To learn more about secure cloud-based services, visit www.asurion.com or talk to your wireless carrier.

I'm going to China in a week. It should be a fun trip. I'm going for work but we will do a bit of sightseeing while we are there. I'm going with three other guys who are just travelling and I'll have a few meetings around the place while they do other cool stuff.
I don't really know the three guys all that well. They seem like good lads. We all have a mutual friend and he is pulling the whole trip together so I've meet them through him and only hung out while we prep travel plans.
Travel vaccinations are a bit of a bummer because they are so jolly expensive. You have to pay so many people just to get your shots and then you still have to pay for the shots. I didn't want to see the travel doctor because the consultation is so high, but by the time I've seen my doctor, he's done his blood checks, and then I go back to see his nurse who will actually give me the shots; it would have been cheaper to see the travel doctor. Trap for young players I think.
Getting a visa for China is another interesting thing. It doesn't take long, four days, but they do want to know a heap about where you are going, when, with who, and why. I guess they are a little nervous about people going to China? I'm not sure why they want to know so much. Maybe it's incase something happens to me while I'm there and they want to know where I should have been and what I should have been doing so they know where to look? Maybe they are going to give me good travel advice about better places to see or things to do while in each city? That could be cool.
I'll be in China for about three weeks. We travel around eight different cities while there so it will be a bit hectic – just they way I like it.

The Athens Clarke County Police Department stated that the case of "The Little Girl" was being handled by the DA's office. Canadian Supporters called and spoke with District Attorney Ken Mauldin. That conversation is provided by Black Talk Media Project.
Since the production of this video, we have gained global support. Thank you for supporting Justice for The Little Girl however; No arrests have been made!
The Men Responsible for the rape and torture have not been arrested. UPDATE: In 2012 we were denied an incident report. Upon viewing the report in 2013, evidence shows that the child was 2 years of age when raped. #TheLittleGirl's counselors state she must have an arrest for recovery. The Little Girl's mother is now being targeted with Economic Warfare using false traffic violations as sanctions!

Some are galleries of outfit examples and street style photographs, some are about a variety of creative items, some concentrate on higher street clothing whilst other individuals focus on higher-finish designer goods – there is a massive range of blogs to select from, so I hope this list aids you locate your new favourite style inspiration!
Females and girls who previously worked as domestic servants took jobs in munitions factories, performed administrative perform, worked as drivers, nurses, and on farms. Style accessories for females make the distinction between a typical attire and a nicely-dressed ensemble. Despite the recognition of delicate kid slippers for dress, the strength and durability of boots produced them a mainstay for practically a century. We feature a variety of women's clothes designs to maintain you covered through lounge days, work days, a evening out or your subsequent workout.
Winter is a lot more fashionable thanks to Zando's extensive selection of coats, jackets, gilets and knitwear. The style house for formed in 1975 and continues to supply some of the most elite fashions for men and women. Once again lengths will be somewhat longer, and styles will differ for this Fall season, from oversize vehicle coats embellished with toggles, to well fitted vintage inspired trench coats. Such striking products are great for updating a classic pair of bootcut jeans or a classic white top, creating a style forward aesthetic. In addition, chosen hand created fashion accessories could be combined with the particular Steampunk outfit you might select to assemble. I only personal two pairs right now, I just lately got to the point in my life where 150 dollar pairs of boots are not a problem though. Regrettably you are unable to see their footwear and stockings, so you cannot get a total image of their 1920's fashion outfits.
This winter you will see the racks full of trousers with pleated fronts, and loose fitting at the leg, mirroring the trousers of the fifties… Suits as last year have the shorter two button jacket, but again the trousers are not as type fitting.
Women's Steampunk style is very open to using elements recognized for being worn primarily by men. Wanted to be clear that I have not purchased a handbag for myself but for the beautiful females in my life. A new boho dress is the excellent trans-seasonal piece, which can be layered with shrugs and casual jackets. Be ready to see the over-sized full length overcoat, to pale pastel jackets, not to mention chic once more more than-sized bomber styled jackets. With a great range of women's clothes to choose from, you can develop just the wardrobe you've often wanted.

West Azerbaijan Province
West Azerbaijan Province (Persian: استان آذربایجان غربی, romanized: Āzarbāyjān-e Gharbī; Azerbaijani: غربی آذربایجان اوستانی, Kurdish: Parêzgeha Urmiyê ,پارێزگای ئورمیە[11][12]) is one of the 31 provinces of Iran. It is in the northwest of the country, bordering Turkey, Iraq and Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, as well as the provinces of East Azerbaijan, Zanjan and Kurdistan. The province is part of Region 3.[13] It is separated from Armenia by Turkey's short border with the Azerbaijan Republic. The province of West Azerbaijan covers an area of 39,487 km², or 43,660 km² including Lake Urmia. In 2012 the province had a population of about 3 million (estimate).[14] The capital city and largest city of the province is Urmia.

Permanent settlements were established in the province as early as the 6th millennium BC as excavation at sites such as Teppe Hasanlu establish. In Hasanlu, a famous Golden Vase was found in 1958. The province is the location of Tepe Hajji Firuz, site of some of the world's earliest evidence of wine production.[15][16][17] Gooy Teppe is another significant site, where a metal plaque dating from 800 BC was found that depicts a scene from the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Ruins such as these and the UNESCO world heritage site at the Sasanian compound of Takht-i-Suleiman illustrate the strategic importance and tumultuous history of the province through the millennia. Overall, the province enjoys a wealth of historical attractions, with 169 sites registered by the Cultural Heritage Organization of Iran.
The major known ancient civilization in the region was that of Mannaeans, a buffer state between Urartian and Assyrian sphere of influence. Mannaeans in turn spoke a language related to Urartian. After the fall of Assyria, the region was known as Mantiene (or Matiene) in Greek sources. Matiene bordered on Atropatene situated east of Lake Urmia.
The region is known as Vaspurakan and Nor Shirakan in Armenian history and made up an important part of historical Armenia, functioning as one of the cradles of Armenian civilisation.[18] On 26 May 451 AD, a very important battle was fought that would prove pivotal in Armenian history. On the Avarayr Plain, at what is modern-day Churs in the West Azerbaijan Province, the Armenian army under Vardan Mamikonian clashed with the Sasanian one. Although the Persians were victorious on the battlefield itself, the battle proved to be a major strategic victory for Armenians, as Avarayr paved the way to the Nvarsak Treaty (484 AD), which affirmed Armenia's right to practice Christianity freely.[19][20]
In the late 4th century AD the Sasanians incorporated the area into the neighbouring Adhurpadagan satrapy to the east.[21] The name Adhurpadagan, later Arabicized to Azerbaijan, derives from Atropates,[22][23] an Iranian satrap of Media under the Achaemenid empire, who later was reinstated as the satrap of Media under Alexander of Macedonia.[24]
At 7th century this area was under Islamic rule. After Babak Khorramdin revolted, the grip of the Abbasid caliphate weakened, allowing some native dynasties to rise. By the first half of the 11th century the Byzantine emperors were actively trying to round off their eastern territories, in an attempt to absorb the unstable Armenian dynasties. In 1021-1022 emperor Basil II led his army as far as Khoy within 175 km of Dvin, and obtained the surrender of royalty from the Artsruni dynasty of Van.[25] The Seljuk Turkic tribes, who were initially resisted by the local Hadhabani Kurds, eventually conquered the region in the 11th and early 12th centuries. During Timurid rule in the 14th century, Khoy gained an important role in all over the region. After Hadhabanis, three other Kurdish principalities, Mukriyans in southern part, Bradosti in the middle and Donboli in the northern part ruled the region for centuries, who temporarily sided with either the Ottomans or Safavids. The battle of DimDim between the Safavids and local Bradosti Kurds took place in this region. After a long and bloody siege led by the Safavid grand vizier Hatem Beg, which lasted from November 1609 to the summer of 1610, the Castle of Dimdim was captured. All the defenders were killed and Shah Abbas I ordered a general massacre in Bradost and Mukriyan (reported by Eskandar Beg, Safavid historian in the book Alam Aray-e Abbasi) and resettled the Afshar tribe in the region while deporting many Kurdish tribes to Khorasan region, where many of their descendants still reside of as of today.
The Safavid control was firmly restored by Shah Abbas but during the Afghan invasion (1722–1728) more than a century later, the Ottomans captured the northwestern regions of Iran, until Nadir Shah expelled them and reasserted Iranian suzerainty over the region and far beyond. The Russian (Tsarist) army occupied the region in 1909, and again in 1912–1914 and 1915–1918 period. The Ottomans occupied the region in 1914–1915 and 1918–1919 periods. The Soviet forces occupied the region in 1941, resulting in establishment of a short-lived, Soviet-supported puppet state called the Republic of Mahabad, from November 1945 to November 1946.
The districts of Mākū , Ḵoy, Salmās, and Arasbārān, and the region of Urmia, according to 19th century administrative division became a part of the northwestern Iranian province of Azerbaijan.[26] In 1937 the province was renamed to Shomal-e gharb (northwestern province) Shortly after it the province of Azerbaijan was divided into a western and eastern part which were renamed to Chaharom (fourth province) and sevom (third province), respectively. In 1961 Fourth province was renamed West Azerbaijan by the Iranian authorities.
Some events in the 19th and 20th centuries are:
- Shaikh Ubeidullah Attacks, west and south of Lake Urmia in 1880;[27]
- Simko Insurrections, west of Lake Urmia from 1918 to 1922;[28]
- The Soviet occupation in 1944;
- The foundation and destruction of the Azerbaijan People's Government in 1945-1946;
- The foundation and destruction of the Republic of Mahabad in 1946 in County of Mahabad;
- Periodic severe fighting from 1979 until the 1990s near to boundaries of Iraq-Iran between Kurdish militia belonging to Kurdish political parties and the Iranian government.[29] During the early 1980s parts of the province were outside central government's control.
Geography and climate
With an area of 43,660 square kilometers, including Lake Urmia, the province of West Azerbaijan is located on the northwest of Iran.
Cold northern winds affect the province during winter and cause heavy snow.[30] According to existing meteorological data, local temperatures vary within the province. Average temperature differs from 9.4 °C in Piranshahr to 11.6 °C in Mahabad, while it is 9.8 °C in Urmia, 10.8 °C in Khoy, 9.4 °C in Piranshahr, and in Mahabad 11.6 °C. According to same data, the highest temperature in the province reaches 34 °C in July, and the lowest temperature is –16 °C in January. Maximum change of temperature in summer is 4 °C, and in winter 15 °C.[31]
Administrative divisions and cities
West Azerbaijan Province is divided into seventeen counties:

There are no official statistics or census figures on the ethnic makeup of Iran. Most of the population in West Azerbaijan Province are Azerbaijanis.[2] There are three other ethnic and religious groups who are native to the province and have minority status: Armenians, Assyrians, and Jews.
The majority population of West Azerbaijan are Azerbaijanis[34]. Azerbaijanis live mostly in Chaldoran, Maku, Khoy, Salmas, Urmia, Naghadeh, Miandoab, Shahindej and Takab counties and Kurds inhabit mostly Oshnaviyeh, Sardasht, Mahabad, Piranshahr and Bukan counties.[5][6][7][8][9]
Some Muslim researchers[35] have proclaimed that the birth of the prophet Zoroaster was in this area, in the vicinity of Lake Orumieh, Chichest or Ganzak; recent scholarship, however, indicates that sites in Central Asia are more likely.[36]

West Azerbaijan possesses a rich culture, stemming from Azeri traditions. Many local traditions, such as music and dance, continue to survive among the peoples of the province. As a longstanding province of Persia, West Azerbaijan is mentioned favorably on many occasions in Persian literature by Iran's greatest authors and poets:
گزیده هر چه در ایران بزرگان
زآذربایگان و ری و گرگان
All the nobles and greats of Iran,
Choose from Azerbaijan, Ray, and Gorgan.
—Vis o Ramin
از آنجا بتدبیر آزادگان
بیامد سوی آذرآبادگان
From there the wise and the free,
set off to Azerbaijan
بیک ماه در آذرآبادگان
ببودند شاهان و آزادگان
For a month's time, The Kings and The Free,

Colleges and universities
Urmia University was first built by an American Presbyterian missionary in 1878. A medical faculty was also established there headed by Joseph Cochran and a team of American medical associates. Cochran and his colleagues were buried in an old cemetery in the vicinity of Urmia. Urmia University website says this about them:
- "There they lie in peace away from their homeland, and the testimonial epitaphs on their tombs signify their endeavor and devotion to humanity."

No need to point to concrete Soviet political activities in this direction, as in 1945–46 etc. The really interesting point is that in the independent former Soviet republics this typically Soviet ideological pattern has long outlasted the Soviet Union."

There has been considerable thought applied to the nature of change, how to describe it, and how best to understand it, approach it or bring it about. This two day course offers ICA's perspective on change in an organisational context, introducing a series of tools and frameworks which enable people to take a more holistic view and ensure that the "human factor" is included.
The tools help practitioners to understand, analyse and respond to changing dynamics both outside and within an organisation, as well as considering how to support individuals through the change process.
The training is useful for all those people (e.g. leaders, managers and consultants) looking for ways to facilitate change throughout institutions, companies or organisations (including partnerships and networks).
The course introduces tools for reviewing and analysing trends, historical and environmental forces (the ToP Historical Scan method, the Wave); clarifying and mapping the organisational journey (The Organisational Map); identifying leverage points for change within an organisation (Dynamics Screen); understanding an applying values (The Values Screen); supporting individual behaviour change (Image Change).
This course has no pre-requisite, but it is of benefit to have taken the Group Facilitation Methods course. It is also of advantage to bring specific case study(s) to the course to consider as the tools and frameworks are introduced.
Venue: Ground floor meeting room at rue de Varembé 1, 1202 Geneva (just opposite Nations)

The Mets return home for the weekend to play a Subway Series against the New York Yankees. Here are some things you might want to know about them:
Record: 48-31, first place AL East
Manager: Joe Girardi, lifetime 413-314 (.567) managerial record. Girardi is a little more hands off than his reputation suggests. The Yankees lead the American League in intentional walks issued, but they're in the lower half in both pitching changes and sacrifice bunts.
Park: Home game for the Mets. Citi Field.
Can they hit? Yes
Can they pitch? Yup
Can they field? More or less
Who's their best player? It just might be Alex Rodriguez. He's quietly hitting .299/.377/.507, with 13 home runs and six defensive runs saved at third base.
LF – Brett Gardner – L
CF – Curtis Granderson – L
1B – Mark Teixeira – S
3B – Alex Rodriguez – R
2B – Robinson Cano – L
RF – Nick Swisher – S
C – Russell Martin – R
SS – Eduardo Nunez – R
Baseball's second-oldest and second-most evil group of hitters (the Phillies lead in both categories) is also its best: The Yankees score 5.33 runs per game and have hit 115 home runs, both figures leading baseball. They have the second highest on-base percentage, the highest slugging percentage, and Fangraphs ranks them as the best offensive team by all sorts of standards. The shortstops, Eduardo Nunez and Captain Pulled Calf, are the only regulars with an OPS below the American League average of .717. Outside of those two, the Yankees' worst hitter has probably been catcher Russell Martin, who has 10 home runs. Everyone is hitting all right. Some of the success is from sticking a bunch of lefthanded hitters in Yankee Stadium and watching the balls fly out, but they also lead the American League in OPS on the road. So they hit anywhere.
Pitching Matchups:
7/1: RHP Ivan Nova vs LHP Jon Niese
Nova (7-4, 4.26 ERA), has already faced the Mets this season, earning the win on May 22nd despite allowing 11 hits in 6.2 innings. A curveball pitcher who lacks command and doesn't strike out many batters, and, despite his name, disappointingly isn't a viking warrior who speaks only Old Norse.
7/2: RHP Bartolo Colon vs RHP Dillon Gee
Colon (5-3, 3.10 ERA) will come off the disabled list on Saturday to make the start after missing his past turns with a pulled hamstring.
About his season: Colon is striking out 8.3 batters per nine innings this year. If it holds up, this would be the second highest rate of his career. He also has the second lowest ERA of his career, and the lowest FIP. Not to be too blunt, but Colon is 38 years old, fat, hasn't pitched in the majors in a year, and hasn't pitched a full season in half a decade. And he just throws fastballs — a four seamer and a two seamer, along with the occasional slider and a couple of changeups a game. But 9 out of every 10 pitches Colon throws is a fastball. I don't know how he's doing it, but he is, and it looks legit. Baseball is weird.
7/3: RHP Freddy Garcia vs RHP R.A. Dickey
Garcia (7-6, 3.28 ERA), another pitcher the Mets saw earlier this season, is also a veteran surviving in an unusual fashion. The only pitcher in the majors to throw a lower percentage of fastballs than Garcia this season is his knuckleballing counterpart on Sunday. Garcia throws a ton of junk — sliders, splitters, curveballs, and changeups – around the outer half of the strike zone and generates a lot of contact in the air. His peripheral numbers suggest his ERA should be a bit higher, more in the 4.10 range, but that's not terrible for someone playing a guessing game with the hitter.
The Mets miss LHP CC Sabathia and RHP A.J. Burnett this series.
C – Francisco Cervelli – R
IF – Ramiro Pena – S
OF – Chris Dickerson – L
OF – Andruw Jones – R
PH – Jorge Posada – S
Here's something to ponder: The Yankees have six players who played in the 2002 All Star Game (Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Freddy Garcia, and Andruw Jones). Will this Yankee team have more players in the 2011 All Star Game?
The righthanded hitting Jones might get the start on Friday against the lefty Niese, with Gardner going to the bench, Granderson moving up to leadoff and Swisher into the two hole. Analysis!
RHP – Mariano Rivera
RHP – David Robertson
RHP – Luis Ayala
LHP – Boone Logan
RHP – Cory Wade
RHP – Hector Noesi
RHP – Sergio Mitre
Joba Chamberlain has joined Raphael Soriano and Pedro Felicano on the setup person disabled list, but despite the injuries, the Yankees' pen has a 2.99 ERA, the best figure in the American League. David Robertson has 52 strikeouts in 32.1 innings — which leads AL relievers – while Luis Ayala and Boone Logan have pitched well enough as a righty/lefty tandem. Mariano Rivera has been Mariano Rivera. The backend of the bullpen is still a little questionable, even with the key reacquisition of Sergio Mitre, but bullpens are easy to fix at the deadline. Especially with a shiny new K-Rod . . .
And those were some things to know about the Yankees.

Aurangabad is a city in the Indian state of Maharashtra. The administrative headquarters of the Marathawada region, Aurangabad is a famous tourist destination frequented by vacationers from around the world. Being surrounded by hills on all sides, the city has unparalleled natural beauty; moreover, there are many historical monuments in the region, including world heritage sites like the Ajanta and Ellora Caves.
Area: 196 sq km
Population: 1,414,918
Language: Hindi, Urdu, Marathi and English

You get to see various architectural influences in Aurangabad – it needs no emphasizing that these influences are characteristic of the period/reign it represents. Thus, you will come across many century-old structures like the Ajanta Caves, Aurangabad Caves, Ellora Caves, Daulatabad Fort, Bibi-Ka-Maqbara and Ghrishneshwar Temple in Aurangabad. A number of modern buildings (mostly malls/plazas and departmental stores) have also sprung up in the recent years.
Aurangabad enjoys a unique epithet, the 'City of Gates', because of the presence of 9 gates– Bhadkal Gate, Barapulla Gate, Dilli Gate, Jaffer Gate, Kala Darwaja, Katkat Gate, Paithan Gate, Rangin Darwaja and Roshan Gate – within the city-limits.
Aurangabad Economy and Infrastructure
Aurangabad's strategic position on the famous "Silk Route" had earned it importance as a great trade-center in its early days and the region became famous for its typical Himroo shawls, which are woven by blending silk with locally grown cotton. Today, silk-production is done on a much reduced scale but it still remains an important contributor to the local economy as there are many who buy Aurangabadi silk, especially the Paithani silk.
Among other industries dominating Aurangabad's economy are beverage production, pharmaceuticals, steel recycling, etc. Many IT companies have sprung up in the recent years, creating more employment opportunities.
Aurangabad has a number of banks (both public and private sector) and financial institutions.
The city has a number of shopping arcades, restaurants, bars and internet cafés. With many budget and luxury hotels in and around Aurangabad, accommodation is never going to pose any problem. Coming to transportation, Aurangabad has a well-built infrastructure. Aurangabad has an International airport; but one can also reach Aurangabad by using roadways or railways connecting it to other important cities. Bus/train services are pretty regular. For touring the city, you can take taxis/auto-rickshaws; besides, the Aurangabad Municipal Transport runs an intra-city bus service, which provides one access to all parts of the city. The horse-drawn Tonga is another grand option.
People and Culture
Ruled by several dynasties, the city of Aurangabad has become socially and culturally rich. The present-day Aurangabad is a cosmopolitan hub, where the resident Hindu and Muslim populations live in perfect harmony. In the past, Aurangabad has been a force to be reckoned in the fields of art and literature; this dominance of the Aurangabadi people continues even today.

Defense helps men topple Raiders
By Brodee Gillam
Sports Editor
After showing flashes of great play on both sides of the ball, the LCC men's basketball team brought it all together against Oakland CC on Nov. 22.
The Stars beat the Raiders at home 100-84, with freshman Zhervonte Smith leading the team with 34 points off the bench.
Smith said as the season goes on, he is gaining more and more trust in LCC Head Coach Mike Ingram.
"I'm just listening to coach," Smith said. "Coach is putting us in the right positions and teammates are getting me the ball, then I do what I do.
"We need to start listening to coach more. … The man's a winner. He knows what it takes. We've just got to listen to him."
Even with Oakland's full-court press causing the Stars a bit of trouble, LCC still put together the best game it has played this season.
The Raiders press forced the Stars to be more aggressive, leading to 19 LCC turnovers. Despite the high number, Ingram said he is not worried about the turnovers.
"It's really hard to cut down on the turnovers against a team that presses the whole game," Ingram said. "We had also started a couple guys that hadn't played a lot before also, and I think six or seven of those turnovers came in toward the end of the game."
Sophomore Max Walz had his second double-double in as many starts and looks to be the presence in the paint that the Stars need. Walz scored 19 points on 11 shots and had 10 boards against the Raiders.
Ingram said Walz has elevated the Stars' play during his two games starting at center.
"I think the thing that has helped us the past two games is we started … Max (Walz)," Ingram said. "He's put up some huge numbers and hopefully he'll continue to do that. I think that we've been playing great defense, but we hadn't been getting the rebounds.
"So now (by starting Walz) we're getting the rebounds and we're getting some inside help also."
Freshman Darious Young and sophomore Josh Horford both had a significant impact in the win as well. Young scored 18 points, grabbed nine rebounds and added four assists.
Horford, who had 10 points and nine rebounds, said once the Stars lock up on defense, it will be hard for teams to beat them.
"Our strengths are scoring and just using our energy on defense," Horford said. "When we play defense, teams don't want to mess with us. But we got to be consistent with it."
The Stars next scheduled home game is Wednesday, Dec. 13 against Mott CC at 7:30 p.m. in the Gannon Gym.

Senate Approves Bill Providing $30.6 Billion for E.D.
WASHINGTON--The Senate last week approved a $204-billion social service spending bill for fiscal 1992 that includes $30.6 billion for Education Department programs.
Education funding in the Senate passed version of HR 2707, the labor, health and human services, and education appropriations bill, was $800 million less than the amount approved by the House this summer.
The measure, cleared by the Senate on a 78-to-22 vote, contained $300 million more for education, however, than did the bill reported earlier by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The increase was due to an amendment, adopted on a 79-to-21 vote, that would allocate some unused budget authority to education programs.
The compromise amendment was offered by Senator Tim Wirth, Democrat of Colorado, and Senator Tom Harkin, Democrat of Iowa.
Mr. Wirth originally had sought to supplement education allocations with nearly $1 billion in spending authority that had been left over, under the Congress's complex budget rules, after the Appropriations Committee approved HR 2707 in July.
Mr. Wirth was forced to trim the supplement to $577 million, however, after Senator Robert W. Byrd, the West Virginia Democrat who chairs the appropriations panel, transferred $400 million to another subcommittee. (See Education Week, July 31, 1991 .)
The amount for education was whittled to $300 million in subsequent negotiations. "We had other member requests and amendments that we had to take care of," said an aide to Mr. Harkin, who chairs the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Subcommittee.
Chapter 1 Increased
Under the amendment as approved by the Senate, Chapter 1 spending was increased by $152 million over the committee-reported bill, to $6.42 billion, while Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants rose by $62 million, to $632 million.
The amendment called for increases of $60 million for vocational education, $20 million for the TRIO programs, $4 million for international and foreign-language education, and $2 million for impact-aid construction, as well as $10 million for childhood immunizations.
The amendment provides that the additional budget authority not be effective until Sept. 30, 1992.
Edward R. Kealy, president of the Committee for Education Funding, said the education community is pleased that the Harkin-Wirth amendment passed.
Education programs may receive still more funding as a result of a House-Senate conference, Mr. Kealy noted. The House bill would provide $31.4 billion for education.
"It is still our goal to achieve a final appropriations bill that better fulfills the priority set for education by the House bill and by the Homefront Budget Initiative passed earlier this year," he said. "The Senate amendment was a down payment on moving toward this goal for 1992."
The Homefront Budget Initiative, sponsored in the Senate by Mr. Wirth and in the House by Representative William D. Ford, the Michigan Democrat who chairs the Education and Labor Committee, was approved by both houses in their budget resolutions. It calls for education increases of at least $3.1 billion over the 1991 mark of $27.1 billion.
While the House and Senate bills reach that mark, much of the increase comes from accounting changes in the student-loan program.
Before adopting the Harkin-Wirth amendment, the Senate rejected a proposal to transfer $3.15 billion from the defense budget to education and other social-service programs. Sponsored by Mr. Harkin, the amendment would have provided an additional $528 million for education programs and an additional $900 million for Head Start.
But opponents of the amendment, which was defeated by a 69-to-28 vote, charged that it would violate the terms of the 1990 Budget Enforcement Act, which prevents the sharing of funds between the budget's domestic, defense, and international accounts. Several Democrats who voted against the amendment said they agreed with it in principle, but felt bound to honor the budget pact.
In other action on HR 2707, the Senate approved an amendment by Senator Jesse Helms, Republican of North Carolina, to eliminate funds for two controversial national surveys of sexual behavior.
Under the amendment, which was adopted by voice vote, $10 million allocated for separate surveys of teenage and adult sexual behavior would be diverted to a program that promotes abstinence among adolescents.
This summer, Secretary of Health and Human Services Louis W. Sullivan decided to ax the teenage-sex study, which would have asked adolescents explicit questions about their sexual experiences. (See Education Week, July 31, 1991.)
The Senate also adopted a compromise amendment by Senator Nancy Landon Kassebaum, Republican of Kansas, on rules governing rederally funded clinics with separate facilities that perform abortions on women under age 18.
The amendment would spell out a series of conditions, for example parental consent, under which a girl could obtain a federally funded abortion.
The bill as reported by the Appropriations Committee contains a provision, also approved by the House, that would overturn a federal ban on abortion counseling at federally funded family-planning clinics and permit federal funding for abortions for poor women who have been the victims of rape and incest.

Justine Holzman, Bradley Cantrell, and David Merlin conducted a four day workshop for Dredgefest Louisana, a week long symposium with field trips curated by the Dredge Research Collaborative.
Southern Louisiana is in a land loss crisis. Sediment diversions, reconnecting the river to the delta offers the fastest and most cost effective method for land building throughout the delta. The workshop focused on utilizing responsive technologies to control devices within a water table for simulating sediment manipulation. Participants had access to a working 7'x3.5' physical water table designed by Justine Holzman and Bradley Cantrell for running simulations with water, sand, and walnut shells. The water table was built to accommodate responsive technologies in the form of arduino boards, small robotic parts, and fabricated components. The water table is designed to run with and without the devices. The devices will be operated and actuated by a script reading values with a Kinect in real-time from the water table for live monitoring monitoring, establishing feedback loops, and actuation.
Over 3 days, the participants were asked to build a device, develop a speculative strategy for large-scale sediment manipulation (such as land-building) through controlled devices, with specific rules driving the manipulation. Through observations and the data collected from the Kinect, they developed a feedback loop to govern the rules of the designed system through methods of monitoring, sensing, and actuation of the device.

Matthew 12:36-37
Bless your life with your words.
There are passages in the Bible that a lifelong Baptist struggles to read. Today's verses would be one of those passages. Read it. (If you haven't discovered this, you can hover your mouse over the reference to have it pop up.) Do you see what I'm talking about?
By your words you will be justified? Haven't we been taught since slightly before birth that we are justified by faith alone? And wouldn't words fall into the category of works? So how is it that we are justified by our words?
It would take a more profound theologian than me to completely plumb the depths of this issue, but a piece of Simon Peter's story pops in my mind to provide some clarity. We all know that when Jesus was arrested, Peter three times denied knowing Jesus.
Did Peter lose his salvation at that point? No, but was it important? Yes. After the resurrection, Jesus three times asked Peter, "Do you love me?" Did Peter gain back the salvation he hadn't lost by virtue of his good answers? No, but was it important that he spoke those words? Yes.
What if, in the wake of his Christ-denying failure, Peter had simply withdrawn from the group? Would we have heard about him preaching on Pentecost? Would we have epistles bearing his name? I rather think Peter would have turned into a shriveled up, bitter man.
Words matter, for better and for worse.
- Think of a time when you have said something that was clearly the wrong thing. What effect did it have?
- Think of a case when you failed to save something that was clearly the right thing. Did that make a difference?
- Start the good words flowing from yourself through your prayers in the coming week, blessing God and aligning your will with His.

One of the most visited provinces of Laos; Champasak has a population of around 50,000 and is formed by Pakse, the Bolaven Plateau, Paksong, Champasak and Si Phan Don (Four Thousand Islands). Bordering Thailand and Cambodia, Pakse sits at the confluence of the Mekong and is the province's capital, as a result of the Lao-Japanese Bridge spanning the Mekong, the town has quickly grown as an area of trading importance and is a popular tourist destination.
The Mekong River flows past the ancient Khmer religious compound at Wat Phu Champsak, before dispersing at Four Thousand Islands, an area of utter tranquility. The Bolaven Plateau is renowned for its production of coffee, rattan, fruit and cardamom, while the vast number of wats (temples) across the terrain make for interesting viewing.
The Champasak cultural landscape, including the Wat Phu Temple compound, is a well-preserved planned landscape more than 1,000 years old. It was shaped to express the Hindu belief of the relationship between nature and humanity, using an axis from mountain top to river bank to lay out a geometric pattern of temples, shrines and waterworks extending over some 10 km.

I did 3 hour fishing adventure. Trip stated from Tromssa harbour near Scandic hotel. Boat was about 20 m long and in good condition, From harbour we drove about 50 min to fishing area, during transit there was coffee and tee on boat free on charge. In first place we did not catch anything but crew did its best to find fish and on second place we started to catch fish. All in all trip was almost 4 hours and we cathed plenty of fish.
Absolutely wonderful experience. Very personal service from the coordination and collection and all the way through to being dropped back off at our hotel. Even the day after, receiving a link to download our personalized photos from the trip with a lovely message from Hannah and Jeff our guide. We would wholeheartedly recommend this small company to anyone wanting to experience a unique evening!
It was very nice trip with kids (7&9 years old). They even catch cod which they managed to pull up together. Captain find us a nice place where it was not windy so it was very warm considering that we were at arctic sea. We catch our fish late at trip so cook had done some salmon soup instead of using our catch.
We got much more than I expected. The boat was perfect size for me and the crew was proffesional but at the same time made me feel like I was on a boat trip with friends. Thank you so much for a great day. And seeing the eagle catching the cod we had resently fished... amazing!
Trip wasn't on the Catamaran as described, which meant many hours stood on deck to watch for sign of Whales. Also as it was an old fishing boat, it was much less comfortable and covered less ground.

Chelsea is smart, funny, gorgeous, and the best friend I've ever had. Ever since she left, I've been a wreck. I've been focused on keeping my family's MMA gym afloat while I train and coach fighters, anything to not miss her more. But now she's finally back, along with her grumpy, possessive cat, and things are weird between us.
By weird, I mean I can't stop thinking about her in that way. She's in the room next door, and it takes all my control not to storm in there, sweep her up, and bring her back to my bed. Even stranger, I'm pretty sure she'd be into it.
And this time, I'm not going to stop fighting until we're more.

About Cindi Madsen
Cindi Madsen is a USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance and young adult novels. She sits at her computer every chance she gets, plotting revising, and falling in love with her characters. Sometimes it makes her a crazy person. Without it, she'd be even crazier. She has way too many shoes, but can always find a reason to buy a new pretty pair, especially if they're sparkly, colorful, or super tall. She loves music, dancing, and wishes summer lasted all year long. She lives in Colorado (where summer is most definitely NOT all year long) with her husband and three children.
