Library exhibit features North Lakeland students
PRESQUE ISLE, Wis. - Students of North Lakeland School in Manitowish Waters are the featured artists of the month for January at the Presque Isle Community Library.
Artwork is on display through Feb. 1, with an artists' reception set for Thursday, Jan. 16, from 4 to 6 p.m.
A variety of pieces will be shown, created from media including colored pencil, acrylic paint, cut paper, oil pastel, clay and dioramas. Work was created by past and present NLS students of all grades, both in Ann-Marie Jensen's art class and at home during free time.
The Jan. 16 reception will be hosted by North Lakeland's first chapter of the National Junior Honor Society. The seventh- and eighth-grade students applied and were selected by a panel of teachers. Students were inducted in the society in September. "They are responsible for keeping up a good work ethic in school and a spirit of volunteering, both in school and in the community," Christine Wallace, an NLS spokesperson, said.
The students will provide refreshments for the reception.
Artwork may be viewed during regular library hours: Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Tuesday and Thursday, 4-9 p.m.; and Saturday, 10 a.m.-noon.
For more information, call the school at 715-543-8417 or the library at 715-686-2588.

Mr. Gaetano DallOra of the SC Verdellese Dielle-Telmec team provided the DP
with several excellent pics from the Italian National Championships, where two
boys of his squad brought home no less than one gold and two silver medals in
the two Junior races held. He added some infos about these two talented guys,
well probably hear a lot of in years to come. Below are all the pics and
details concerning Enrico Peruffo (Italys National Champion in the
Junior Mens Road Race) and teammate Mauro Finetto.

Mauro Finetto warming up at time trial
Mauro Finetto got 2 silver medals, one on the time trial and one on the road.
This is very good if you think how different were these two races.

Silver medallist Mauro Finetta
Enrico Peruffo placed 4th on the
time trial
at only few seconds from the 3rd. Think that he missed a turn during the
race and lost at least 10 seconds there. Too bad! But then he won the
road race
and there he did his masterpiece. He said goodbye to the group at 1300
meters from the finish line and thanks to the help of Mauro who stopped all the
attempts of the others he was able to close his race with a great victory. I was
there just after the finish line and I could not believe it. Really an
extraordinary emotion.
Both Mauro and Enrico are already in the National team for the Worlds in
Canada. Mauro is 100% sure, while Enrico still not confirmed, because the
National coach thinks that the Worlds this year will be more for the climbers
rather than riders like Enrico. But now that he won the Italian Championship,
they have to review their thoughts.
Be sure anyway that we will hear about both of them in the following years.

Bus On Shoulder Task Force - Description
At the July 18, 2012 meeting of the Transportation Planning Board (TPB), it was requested that a task force be established to identify promising locations in the region to operate buses on the shoulders of highways. On September 19, the TPB approved the proposed membership for the task force and a work plan and schedule for coordinating an assessment of the experience and potential for Bus On Shoulder (BOS) operations on the region's freeways and major arterials. As requested by the TPB, this task force brings together the stakeholder agencies, including transit operators, departments of transportation, and local jurisdictions, to review local and national experience with BOS and discuss the potential for near-term applicability in the Washington Metropolitan region.
Goverance and Membership
The task force co-Chairs are Ms. Carol Krimm, of the City of Frederick Board of Aldermen, and Mr. Chris Zimmerman, of the Arlington County Council.
Other stakeholders include the following:
Departments of Transportation
Transit Operators
TPB Staff Contact: Eric Randall.
Work Plan
The task force will oversee a scoping of potential locations for BOS, including a high-level benefit-cost analysis of implementing BOS along select corridors and bus routes.
Task 1 – Summary of Local and Other Experience with BOS
Evaluate BOS experience in the region and elsewhere, including safety, roadway engineering, and bus service operations aspects as well as federal regulations and state legislation.
Task 2 – Assessment of the Feasibility of BOS at Specific Locations
Stakeholder agencies will identify potential corridors for BOS operation on the region's highway network, based on 1) existing highway congestion locations, 2) current bus service, and 3) highway shoulder conditions.
Task 3 – Analysis of Select Corridors/Routes in the Region
Identify issues and challenges with safe implementation. Conduct a benefit-cost analysis for implementation of BOS service on selected corridors/routes.

MSU Billings library collects 150 cases of books for donation to Myanmar
July 5, 2012
Brent Roberts, MSU Billings Library, 657-1655
Bill Cochran, Parmly Billings Library, 657-8292
Dan Carter, University Relations, 657-2269
MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — The packed boxes on the first floor of the Montana State University Billings Library may give the impression the library is on the cusp of a big move.
The library isn't moving, but its knowledge is about to take a journey.
More than 150 cases of donated and low-circulation books will be shipped out to Myanmar next week as part of a statewide effort to feed the intellectual hunger of the citizens of that country as it moves to a more open and democratic society. The donation to Myanmar libraries is made possible through a cooperative project between Nargis Library Recovery (NLR) and the Montana Library Association.
Nargis Library Recovery (NLR) Executive Director John Badgley, a Missoula native and retired professor from Cornell University, is helping to assist in the rebuilding of libraries destroyed in Cyclone Nargis in 2008. Badgley, a longtime Burma scholar, will be picking up books throughout Montana during the second week of July and will deliver them to a warehouse in Auburn, Wash., for sorting and transshipment to Myanmar, where the Myanmar Book and Preservation Foundation will distribute them to libraries in the Irrawaddy Delta and throughout the country.
Among the infrastructure casualties are more than 1,000 village libraries and many school libraries.
This year's effort to fill the library need half a world away started in June and libraries across Montana pooled efforts to help the cause, said Brent Roberts, director of the MSU Billings library. Bill Cochran, director of the Parmly Billings Library, got on board early in the process and is the local liaison for the NLR effort. The local effort will include contributions from MSU Billings, Parmly Billings Library and the Rocky Mountain College library.
Over the past few weeks, staff at libraries from Whitefish to Livingston to Great Falls and Billings have been gathering donated items and sorting through out-of-circulation books for shipment to Myanmar. As of this week, the MSU Billings Library had gathered the most items, totaling more than 150 cases.
Roberts said many of the donated books were culled from low-circulation areas of the library's collection.
"We are always in the process of updating our collections, and we were so excited to hear about the Myanmar project," he said. "We're happy that these books will have a new home."
Craig Lowman, a recent MSU Billings graduate who earned his history degree with a teaching option, said he was glad to see a large cross-section of materials.
"We were able to send them eight boxes of kids' books," Lowman said. "That was nice to see."
On May 3, 2008, Cyclone Nargis made a devastating sweep across the Irrawaddy delta in Myanmar (formerly called Burma), passing directly over Yangon. No natural disaster has taken so many lives or destroyed so much habitation in Myanmar.
This event resulted in 135,000 dead or missing and rendered an estimated 800,000 people homeless. Additionally, large areas of the country experienced huge infrastructure, housing and agricultural damage that will take years to repair.
In spite of its poverty, Myanmar has thousands of small community libraries in addition to 150 college and university libraries. The citizens there have a value for reading, supported and encouraged by their history and culture.
To find out more or to donate cash to help with shipping costs, go to www.nargislibrary.org.

More than 150 cases of books were collected and packaged at the MSU Billings library for donation to Myanmar.

In early 1978 President Carter was pushing for ratification of the treaty he had negotiated with the Republic of Panama over the ultimate ownership of the Panama Canal.
The purpose of the exercise was to undercut and neutralize the routine Soviet propaganda argument that Uncle Sam is the exploiter of Latin Americans and is their enemy, not their friend.
The old situation in Panama was the ownership by the United States of a strip of territory running across the Isthmus of Panama and bisecting the republic. In that strip known as the Canal Zone white Americans were accustomed to the kind of preferential status over less white ''natives'' such as that European colonialists were accustomed to enjoy throughout the 19th century in Asia and Africa.
In the Canal Zone in the old times established by Teddy Roosevelt (and enjoyed by the beneficiaries) whites were paid in gold but ''natives'' in silver. Other appropriate differences separated the elect from their inferiors. It was a condition accepted generally during the 19th century, although sometimes resented by the natives. (The ''Black Hole of Calcutta'' was an incident of such occasional resentment.)
The idea of Euro-Americans being entitled to superior treatment failed to make the journey from the pre-1914 world into the post-1945 world. Colonialism became a bad word. The 19th-century empires collapsed. The Dutch, the French, the Portuguese, and the British hauled down their far-flung flags and went home. The Americans moved with the times. They, too, took down their flag from Cuba and the Philippines. But they hung onto their special privileges in the Panama Canal Zone until 1978.
Mr. Carter at the urging of the State Department worked out a new arrangement with Panama under which the US would retain de facto military control but give up the appearance and trappings of ''sovereignty'' at once - and turn the canal over to the Panamanians in 1999.
It was not popular in the US. Most polls showed public opinion about evenly divided, but with the advantage to the opposition. A New York Times/CBS poll taken at the peak of the debate in January showed 49 percent in favor to 51 percent against. One Gallup poll showed it the other way around with 45 percent in favor to 42 percent against. But it was narrow, and the opposition was lively.
President Carter's strongest argument which he used to the full on the Senate was that rejection of the treaty would cripple the President in his conduct of foreign policy. He asked Republicans to support him on this ground.
Ronald Reagan of California, a candidate for the Republican nomination in 1976 and in the lists for another try in 1980, joined the fray and became the most popular and vivid of the political opponents of the treaty. He argued that if the US gave up its ''rights of sovereignty'' over the canal it could be a first step toward ''loss of our freedom.''
Mr. Reagan in 1978 had little consideration for the idea of the effectiveness of the presidential office in the conduct of foreign policy. His anti-canal treaty speech went down well throughout the Southwest and particularly at American Legion and other patriotic organization meetings. It helped him to get nominated and elected in 1980.
Last week in Washington President Ronald Reagan urged both Republicans and Democrats to support him over the sale of American AWACS planes and other modern weapons to Saudi Arabia. His strongest argument was that rejection of the sale would cripple the presidency in the conduct of foreign policy. He was supported in this project by all of his living predecessors, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Jimmy Carter. Mr. Carter was not holding a grudge.
But the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, Robert Byrd of West Virginia, felt under no obligation to go along. Nor did most of the other Democrats in the Senate. If Mr. Reagan had felt free to brush aside the argument of the importance of sustaining the presidency in foreign policy during the Panama treaty fight, should they be bound by it in this fight in 1981? Besides, Democrats lost many Jewish voters to Mr. Reagan in 1981. Here was an ideal chance to win some of them back to their customary allegiance to the Democrats.
In theory in the US politics end at the water's edge.
The theory did not help Mr. Carter with Mr. Reagan in 1978.
It did not impress the Senate Democrats last Wednesday when the vote came on the AWACS deal. They voted 36-11 against Mr. Reagan.
Would the story have been different had Mr. Reagan in 1978 believed in the importance of sustaining the presidency in foreign policy matters?
P.S. Since becoming President, Mr. Reagan has had nothing further to say about the Panama Canal Treaty.

Agency roster: Havas' Robert A. Becker Euro RSCG, New York. WPP Group's Ogilvy & Mather, New York. Cordiant Communications Group's Bates USA, New York.
Power play: The best marketing asset of Mr. Mitchell, 46, may be perennial Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, who recovered from cancer with help from BMS medicines. Under Mr. Mitchell, the company has returned more marketing power to brand managers. Sales of heavily advertised Plavix, which can prevent a second heart attack or stroke and is co-marketed with Sanofi-Synthelabo, are on the rise.
Downside: Ad dollars have been slashed. Spending on BMS' Rx products was $217 million for 2001, compared to only $33 million through May 2002, according to Taylor Nelson Sofres' CMR. Diabetes drug Glucovance is far from the success of predecessor Glucophage. Promising Vaniqa, to help women remove unwanted facial hair, has been sold. And BMS is too close for comfort to the ImClone-Martha Stewart scandal as the co-marketer of the drug that drove ImClone's stock rise.

PowerObjects helps AbeTech improve sales effectiveness, increase productivity and gain better customer insight with Integrated Dynamics CRM and ERP.
Before Microsoft Dynamics CRM, AbeTech was using Sage ACT for contact management. And while it was a practical tool, it didn't provide the functionality the company needed from a sales and order management perspective. "ACT really served a Rolodex of information and didn't provide the visibility and depth that the sales reps needed to actually manage multiple contacts within a company," said Nicky Schmidt, Director of IT at AbeTech.
Staff was also spending too much time on manually entering information into multiple databases.
To help eliminate this, the company needed a CRM system that would easily integrate with their ERP solution, Microsoft Dynamics GP, for sales order processing, inventory availability, and overall customer service capabilities.
Overall, AbeTech needed a CRM solution that would provide:
- Centralized database where all interactions with customers and vendors could be tracked and be visible by the entire organization.
- Better visibility into the activities of the sales team as well as provide a tool to better capture and manage the sales process.
- Ability to improve price quoting and automate the order process to increase visibility and efficiency, eliminating the need for a manual rekeying and separate databases.
- Ability to see a holistic view of the customer data and historical buying patterns to improve cross-selling/upselling and provide higher levels of customer service.
- Familiar look and feel as other Microsoft solutions to help improve staff adoption and use.
- Easy integration with Microsoft Dynamics GP providing ability to track orders and check order status.
We were using ACT, various spreadsheets and databases to input sales activities and customer orders. Price quotes had to be manually entered and then once an order was placed, and the same information had to be re-entered into our ERP system which was a huge waste of time.
Schmidt had evaluated a number of CRM solutions but was particularly impressed by Microsoft Dynamics CRM. She says: "The two things that really worked for us were the tight integration with Microsoft Outlook and the fact that it integrated with our ERP system, Microsoft Dynamics GP."
The team at PowerObjects helped AbeTech get up and running with the on-premise version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011. "PowerObjects really understood our requirements and how Dynamics CRM would fit our business. We were very impressed with their CRM knowledge and the capabilities of the entire team," she added.
Key Benefits
Now that Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Microsoft Dynamics GP are integrated, the sales teams have increased their overall productivity and effectiveness. Schmidt says that with the new CRM solution, the entire pricing and sales order process has been greatly improved. "With all of the customer data in one place, we now have the ability to generate pricing and sales orders quickly without a lot of manual rekeying of data, allowing our sales team to concentrate on selling and servicing customers versus administrative tasks."
Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 also brings in the ability to do rich customer profiling and customer segmentation to the sales team. With CRM's robust reporting, the team can quickly build profiles of customer information and analyze customer activity. The data helps the team and management understand sales patterns and prioritize sales activities based on a customer's company size and industry, volume, and buying history for example.
With the successful adoption of Dynamics CRM throughout the sales organization, AbeTech has now expanded CRM to other areas in the company. For example, using workflows in Dynamics CRM, the company has improved communication and the re-quoting process with vendors. "Before Dynamics CRM, our re-quoting process was manual and time intensive. With workflows set-up, the process and communication with our vendors is now automated and tracked in CRM which saves time and allows us to see real-time status which helps keep everyone in the loop and updated," Schmidt said.
The company is also having success using Dynamics CRM to automate and manage several internal processes. For example, the IT department has automated its internal IT project request process with CRM. Using workflows, staff can request IT assistance automatically through CRM which then assigns tasks for the IT team and provides the ability to track project status updates. "Before, our process was very manual and lacked a good way for us to track our internal IT requests and overall outcomes. Now we can view all of the IT requests, prioritize them and track the progress right in CRM," said Schmidt.
As a supply chain and logistics solution provider, the company offers demos to its customers in order for them to try out various products before they make a purchase. Prior to CRM, the organization was using Excel spreadsheets to manually manage what demo was checked-out and being used by the customer. Using this type of manual process made it difficult for the staff to manage as they have more than 150 demos available. "Now with CRM, our team can search and view all of the demos by product and can see what is available and what's in use. We can monitor and view due dates and automatically send reminder emails to customers if needed. It's saved us a lot of manual work and has improved customer communication as well," Schmidt added.
Schmidt feels that the company has realized tremendous benefits from Dynamics CRM because of PowerObjects' guidance and expertise. "Thanks to PowerObjects, we now have an integrated CRM solution that works across our business and has proven to be a great asset to our company. In a short time, we've been able to improve our sales effectiveness, streamline processes and more importantly, gain greater visibility into our customer accounts allowing us to better serve their needs. Dynamics CRM has certainly provided the framework we needed and we look forward to the possibilities it can bring as we continue to grow our business."

They've always been a bit unhinged, but losing the House and not getting from Obama 100% of what they want has really unhinged them.

Sarah, Bloody Sarah.
My vision for future political activism would be a group that shows up to Palin events, sporting Palin Halloween masks, with theatrical "bloody hands". No dialogue from them, just the bloody hands. Maybe each one could wear the name of one of Saturday's victims.
I think this needs to follow Palin forever.
Placards with her now infamous cross-hairs map, and the words "Remember January 8, 2011" would also work.
This all may sound a bit twisted, but this whole thing has left me feeling pretty raw. We could all see it coming towards us like a train wreck in slow motion, we all knew something bad was going to come from the hate-filled and veiled threat of assasination rhetoric.Commie Pinko Dirtbag Donating Member (1000+ posts) Sun Jan-09-11 06:46 PM

I think that the era of political candidates being targeted with bulls eyes and cross hairs is over for a while for all political parties.Hey careful man! There's a beverage here!
Frustrated by six years of steady reversals at the polls, the hardcore Left decided this week to foment a real coup de état: they want George W. Bush dead.
The Drudge Report has reported left-wing Air America Radio aired a spot on Monday threatening to assassinate President Bush for trying to reform Social Security. Network yacker Randi Rhodes played the following humorous radio drop during her afternoon drive show:
A spoiled child is telling us our Social Security isnt safe anymore, so he is going to fix it for us. Well, heres your answer, you ungrateful whelp: [audio sound of 4 gunshots being fired.] Just try it, you little bastard. [audio of gun being cocked].
Rhodes then giggled when the spot finished playing. Upon hearing a transcript, White House spokesman Scott McClellan reportedly called the incident very inappropriate and over the line.
This Wednesday, Rhodes offered a leftist apology an expression of regret, all the while denying personal culpability and stating any wrongdoing is dwarfed by the sheer evil embodied by her political opponents [Click here to listen to part of Wednesdays program.] She said:
If [the Secret Service] had to take two seconds out of their day to look into me, I apologize for that...But where is the apology when [conservatives] threaten judges from the Senate floor or from the House floor? Or wheres the investigation into Ann Coulters mouth?

Man alive, the DUmmies are completely out of it, the combination of hatred and deliberate ignorance is mind- boggling.
Look, DUmmies, let me lay it all down for you, a few key facts about Jared Loughner:
1. His friends have said he was far- left in his beliefs.
2. He was an ardent Atheist.
3. He hated Bush.
4. He hated cops.
5. His favorite books included the Communist Manifesto.
6. The only video he "Favorited" on his Youtube account was one of a weird Goth guy burning an American flag.
7. He was a 9/11 Troofer.
He was a LEFTIST, you morons! Palin, Beck, and Limbaugh's words had NO impact on him, no matter how much you wish they did!
Oh, and for the record, why not also hold Al Gore responsible for James Jay Lee's taking several innocent people hostage in the Discovery Channel building? After all, Lee was a major Gore fanboy who got most of his psychotic beliefs from 'An Inconvenient Truth.'

Roosevelt Timeline
Theodore Roosevelt first traveled west in 1883 to pursue his boyhood dreams of frontier life. When he returned to New York in 1886, he began to lobby for conservation and his presidency would mark a turning point for the nation's wilderness and wildlife.
Follow the Theodore Roosevelt timeline to learn more.
From boyhood, Theodore Roosevelt showed the restless energy, penetrating intellect, and boundless curiosity that would later make him famous.
Theodore Roosevelt traveled west in 1883 to pursue his boyhood dream of frontier life. He planned it as a hunting trip. But once there, Roosevelt bought a cattle ranch in what is now western North Dakota, a stark landscape known as the Badlands.
Roosevelt's presidency marked a turning point for the nation's wilderness and wildlife. Roosevelt had fought to protect threatened animals and forests. He also wanted to ensure that the public would always have access to the nation's natural wonders.
Throughout his political career, Roosevelt sustained an intense curiosity about the natural world. Within a few years of leaving the presidency, Roosevelt nearly died while charting an unmapped Brazilian river.

CSC just increased their dividend by 33%, going from $0.60 to $0.80. The valuation measures are quite attractive: trailing PE less than 10, PEG = 1.12, Price to Sales less than 0.5, Enterprise Value/EBITDA less than 4.
Better things on the way?
First, the technical picture. CSC appears to be in the process of breaking out. It has pushed above its 200-day moving average. In addition, its 50-DMA has achieved a bullish crossover above the 200-DMA though, truth be told, by only one penny. The chart below shows the situation. Another half a buck and the stock will be breaking above the previous recent high. That higher high would be a confirmation of a bullish trend..
Looking back at the company's financials over the course of the last year, the results have not shown accelerating earnings or revenues. On the contrary, sales and earnings have been stuck in a narrow range.
As background, CSC provides consulting, systems integration and design, IT and business process outsourcing, applications software, web and application hosting to its clients in industry and government domestically and internationally. All things being equal, an improving economy should translate into growth in all these sectors. With legislators tightening the purse strings, however, government clients may not be as plentiful as the company would normally expect despite CSC's contention that improved IT efficiencies will increase productivity and reduce costs for governments.
What is interesting is that the company is pushing into some newer areas that have the potential to pick up the slack. The company is now touting its capabilities in the following currently hot areas:
- cloud computing
- health care billing systems and electronic records management
- cyber-security
In summary, the story on this stock is future potential while the downside is limited by its reasonable value characteristics. CSC seems like another good candidate for your watch list.

The caper film ''Entrapment'' summons the days when being a thief with taste was the profession of choice for the soigne movie hero. It resurrects that art of gamesmanship by casting Sean Connery as Robert (Mac) Macdougal, the kind of baronial art connoisseur who has assembled his collection by unorthodox means. He presumably meets his match in Catherine Zeta-Jones's Virginia (Gin) Baker, the most glamorous of insurance investigators. When the story sends these two to an elegant party, extras swivel their heads to gape at Ms. Zeta-Jones in ways that don't look rehearsed.
Production notes for the film refer to the ensuing romantic adventure as ''an electric pas de deux of wariness and attraction,'' adding that it involves ''a daring plan for a multibillion-dollar heist tied to the dawn of a new millennium.'' So it may not be a surprise to learn that the idea for ''Entrapment'' was sold on the basis of a seven-line proposal. Happily, the explanation for who the characters are and how they got that way is similarly brief, since there's no good way to explain them. Says Mac, when asked about his past: ''My situation is so complicated, I can't explain.''
And actually, he doesn't have to. Combine two stars of this wattage with a lot of techno-talk and elaborate heist plotting and you get plenty of good reasons to pay attention. The match between these two may sound unlikely, but it works because it isn't forced, and because both actors are so mischievously game.
Besides, it's not hard to believe that when Ms. Zeta-Jones's Gin begins performing feline gymnastics at Mac's Scottish castle (another selling point), Mac would pay attention.
As directed by Jon Amiel with cool efficiency like that of his ''Copycat,'' the film engages in mild cat-and-mousing about whether either character is out to deceive the other. (The answers: yes and yes.) But all it really needs are a surface gloss, a flirtatious tone and a couple of thefts that are planned like military operations.Continue reading the main story
Truth in advertising department: ads that depict Ms. Zeta-Jones in spidery crouch fake a much lower neckline than she wears in that particular scene and give a sinister cast to what is actually a gymnastic workout. Gin is actually preparing to dodge a cat's cradle of laser beams during a burglary rehearsal so graceful it suggests the movements of tai chi. The film finds many opportunities for Ms. Zeta-Jones to show off her slithery skills in this department.
While she plays her role in fresh, headstrong fashion, Mr. Connery has the effortless authority to give the film some ballast, and the unalloyed charisma to make the whole thing look easy. It helps that the romance isn't overworked and that his Mac has an imperious, crotchety streak to keep his much younger partner at bay. With Ron Bass and William Broyles (the former editor of Newsweek and Texas Monthly) as screenwriters, the script tosses in a convenient prohibition that it would be ''against the rules'' for these two to get involved. This is only slightly less credible than the duo's ultimate gambit of trying to steal billions from a Malaysian bank in the world's tallest building on New Year's Eve.
That sequence, a vertiginous showstopper, combines new ways to make the palms sweat with a humorous nostalgia for how heists worked when this genre was hot. Among the film's high-tech details are its scheme for outwitting computers during only a few hugely profitable seconds. It all boils down to getting access to a highly guarded computer or two. ''This is it?'' Mr. Connery's character complains in disbelief. ''Whatever happened to money? Where's the good old-fashioned loot?''
Directed by Jon Amiel; written by Ron Bass and William Broyles, based on a story by Mr. Bass and Michael Hertzberg; director of photography, Phil Meheux; edited by Terry Rawlings; music by Christopher Young; production designer, Norman Garwood; produced by Sean Connery, Mr. Hertzberg and Rhonda Tollefson; released by 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprises. Running time: 105 minutes. This film is rated PG-13.
WITH: Sean Connery (Mac), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Gin), Ving Rhames (Thibadeaux), Will Patton (Cruz), Maury Chaykin (Conrad Greene), Kevin McNally (Haas) and Terry O'Neill (Quinn).
''Entrapment'' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It includes occasional profanity and brief, shadowy nudity.Continue reading the main story

Seriously? A teacher wrote that letter? My first impression upon seeing it is that it was a nasty child who had put it together, given the really messy handwriting, poor spelling and punctuation, etc.
Some of those parents who it doesn't apply to, might adopt the same tone of "Oh, shame, who could it be???" and take the perceived tone of the letter as a reason for more neighborly criticism and intrusion... Others might mount defensive reactions more along the lines of "I don't think this was for me, but I don't really appreciate receiving such a message [if indeed everyone needed to receive it at all, some would add] in quite this form."
I can understand a teacher having concerns if students are coming to school dirty. I can understand a letter being sent home over it; it can be a health issue for other children. But the issue with this letter is it's distinct lack of professionalism or tact. The tone is decidedly offensive. The teacher might as well have just written "Your child stinks, it's your fault, so fix it, because your kid grosses me out," because that's the tone this letter conveys.

Dreaming into the real world
18 years old. 15 of these years I have been dreaming of how one day I will become something that will be apart of something. These dreams, I believe, make up how I act, how I think, and what I do. The dreams of making something better of myself, maybe a rock star, professional athlete, or even the sixtieth president.
My dreams have pulled me through my rough times by providing hope to my mind. The dream of making something better of myself, in my eyes, is the American way. In my life I have used the hope of becoming a professional athlete, more specifically a member of the PGA Tour. This dream of mine has propelled me through life, it has been the rock lean against during the good times, and the pillow to comfort me during the hard times.
This dream, until recently, had only been a dream. At the beginning of January I received a phone call from Jerry Burgess, the Chandler-Gilbert golf coach, informing me that he was interested in the resume that I sent him. He explained that though there was no letter of intent he could give me, he did want me to come and try out for the team. I did and my new position on the Chandler-Gilbert Community College golf team has proved not only to myself that I have what it takes to make the pro tour, but also the rest of my family.
This rock has been the only true unchanging aspect of my life. While my life seemed to fall apart around me, family problems, school problems, and social problems, I seemed to feel better out on the practicing or providing a little competition with some friends for a soda or something. Golf just made me feel free inside with no worries and just good times. Though, now, that this rock has evolved into a gigantic boulder it still serves its purpose, getting me through life.
No matter the dream, no matter how unreachable it may seem, it will serve its purpose. It will provide hope and help me get through life and the great thing with dreams is that they can evolve into something that I was not hoping for—an opportunity to become part of a legacy

Daniel Freitas - PortugalDaniel Freitas was born in Madeira but he's been living in Lisbon for the last 15 years. He has a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, with a specialization in Telecommunications, from the Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade Técnica de Lisboa. In January 2002, he started working for Portugal Telecom. He has worked in three different areas of the company. Although Daniel's work has been very fulfilling, he wants to experience other areas and treasures the challenge of experiencing different realities. From the very first moment Daniel discovered the HCI Master's program, he felt that it was tailor-made for him. Firstly, his academic background is in Electrical and Computer Engineering and his professional experience has focused on Project Management. Secondly, Daniel has always been particularly interested in Design and Psychology. This Master's degree will provide him with an opportunity to learn more about these subjects and their application to the relationship between humans and machines. In fact, it was precisely the HCI interdisciplinary approach to these three subjects that attracted him the most to this program. An additional motivation is the opportunity to study during one semester in the USA, to experience the American Educational System, and to meet people of diverse cultural backgrounds. Apart from his academics interests, Daniel loves to travel. His favorite travel destination is Southeast Asia.
Emily Clark - USAEmily Clark hails from DC and has an undergraduate degree in Political Science, although oddly enough, she's actually working in the Web production field ever since college, including stints at the US Department of Agriculture and, most recently, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). During the course of her career, she has found herself more and more drawn to what it takes to optimize online user experience, which eventually led her to Carnegie Mellon and the HCI Master's Program. She is interested particularly in language-learning through technology, humanitarian uses of technology, and multimodal interactions. She also loves to dance and just being active in general. So, if anyone is looking for company on their next adventure, she's a good bet.
John Flowers - USAJohn Flowers is 25, and was born and raised in Austin, Texas. He graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2009 with a degree in Psychology and a degree in Honors Liberal Arts. He found Human-Computer Interaction through the desire to apply his psychology background in a creative and technologically-oriented way, and he continues to look for ways to get involved in the Interaction Design and Human-Computer Interaction communities. Apart from school, John enjoys music (he's been playing trumpet in a ska band and a funk band), nature walks, meaningful conversations, and meeting new friends.
Kagonya Awori - KenyaPrior to joining Carnegie Mellon University as a Master's of Human-Computer Interaction student, Kagonya was an Information Architect at a digital agency in her hometime Nairobi, Kenya. She has also done part-time Web development and E-Commerce. Kagonya attained a Bachelor's Degree in Business Information Technology from Strathmore University, Nairobi, in 2008. In her free time, you will most probably find Kagonya with Dada, her laptop ("Dada" is a Kiswahili word, meaning "sister") watching inspirational talks online and reading various technology articles. Kagonya also enjoys traveling, watching movies and dancing. Her motto in life is to outdo herself and consequently she believes in continuous self-improvement.

Added inflation means that prices will continue to rise for consumers.
Added inflation means that prices will continue to rise for consumers
The seemingly inexorable rise in the cost of living looks set to continue, as the Consumer Council for Water warns that water companies can add on inflation that means consumers will pay more, even as bills fall in real terms.
The warning follows publication of Ofwat's decision to cut household bills by five per cent, a move which has been hailed as good news in the struggle for affordable utilities. All water companies were told to cut their bills in real terms.
This includes a cut of 10 per cent by Anglian, five per cent by Welsh Water Dwr Cymru, eight per cent by Southern and three per cent by Yorkshire.
But the new prices were calculated before inflation. Tony Smith, the Chief Executive of the CCW said today that:
"Customers need to be aware that water companies are allowed to add inflation to bills each year which means charges are still likely to rise from what they are now."
Earlier this year, Ofwat's chairman Jonson Cox criticised water companies for talking about bills 'in real terms', which he said was misleading for customers.
Companies add inflation as measured by RPI, but most customer's incomes are not even close to rising by the same index.
Figures from the House of Commons Library show that last year, the water industry made over £2 billion in profits while paying just £78 million in tax. In 2012 the government introduced a 'social tariff' which would allow water companies to voluntarily reduce bills for their most vulnerable customers. However, only six companies chose to sign up to the scheme.
Maria Eagle, the shadow secretary of state for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, said today:
"The truth is that the water industry isn't working for consumers and David Cameron has done nothing to address it. It's unacceptable that some companies paid no tax last year while millions of customers are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis."
She promised that Labour would reform the water industry by creating a national affordability scheme which would force companies to create cheaper tariffs for people struggling to pay their bills.
She also pledged to give the regulator new powers to cut bills and make sure that water companies 'put customers first'.
Labour have set out plans today for greater transparency in the water industry, pledging to ensure that water companies publish information about their corporate structure, taxation and dividends paid to shareholders.

What This Book Will Do
for You
"I hate it when salespeople ________"
Fill in the blank. Think about some of your worse experiences
with salespeople. Think about the things that salespeople
have done that turned you off. How would you fill in the
blank? Do you hate it when . . .
• They are pushy?
• They don't get to the point?
• They don't know their product?
• They bore you with facts and figures?
• They don't listen or take the time to understand you
and your needs?
Now for the more important question: How would your
customers fill in the blank? If your answer is, "It depends on the
customer," then you are ready for this book.
Our purpose with Buying Styles: Simple Lessons for
Selling the Way Your Customer Buys is to provide an entertaining
quick read that helps sales professionals learn the primary
buying styles of customers, as well as how to identify and
adapt to each. Unfortunately, many salespeople know only one
way to sell—their way. What they often fail to understand is
that they could be so much more successful by selling the way
their customer buys.
Do you sell the same way to every customer? Do you know
the basic buying styles and the key strategies for adapting to
each one? Do you know the warning signs that suggest you are
probably selling in the wrong style for your customer?
The message of Buying Styles is simple. As our protagonist
"Adapt or continue to be so much less
successful than you could be."
With Buying Styles, we introduce a powerful new book format
called the "learning adventure." Somewhat similar to a
parable, this learning adventure tells the story of a fictional
character, Dave, who has just lost a major sale and is clueless
as to why. At the urging of his CEO, Dave attends a half-day
seminar on buying styles.
Unlike in a parable, however, the meat of the book is not
buried at the end of the story. In our learning adventure,
90 percent of the story takes place in the classroom.
Therefore, the story is the meat.
This learning adventure provides a powerful vehicle for
readers to gain insights in three ways:
• You receive the buying styles concepts directly from
the story's course facilitator as if you were sitting in
the classroom along with Dave.
• At the same time, you experience the information
through Dave's eyes. You hear his objections, his concerns,
and his fears, and you feel his triumphs as he
gains insight as to why he lost this major sale while
other sales had been so much easier for him.
• While in the learning adventure, you observe the interactions
of the various people in the classroom and are
able to recognize the buying style and selling style
conflicts as they play out on a personal level.
Since our intended audience is salespeople, we have
designed Buying Styles to be a series of short chapters, with
each one contributing significantly to the message of the book.
However, for those readers who want to cut to the chase (and
you'll learn in Chapter 3 why you feel this way), we suggest you
first read Chapters 3, 5, and 7.
• Chapter 3 provides you with a foundational understanding
of the four basic buying styles.
• Chapter 5 presents you with the techniques for identifying
the buying style of your customer.
• Chapter 7 offers you a summary for how to sell to
each style.
Once you have read these targeted sections, you may want
to go back and pick up the information in the other chapters to
more fully understand the concept of buying styles.
For all other readers who wish to get the comprehensive
message the first time, grab your highlighter and get ready for
an adventure in learning to sell the way your customer buys.

Plantar fasciitis is treated using pain relievers, physical therapy, orthotics and night splints, Mayo Clinic states. Treatments vary between patients, and some may also need surgical procedures, plus home-based therapies.
Patients may take medications like Ibuprofen, to manage the inflammation associated with plantar fasciitis, states Mayo Clinic. In addition, physiotherapists teach exercises that strengthen the leg muscles, giving more support to the plantar region. These exercises may also strengthen the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. In some cases, night splints are available to strengthen the muscles in the area while the patient sleeps. Orthotics designed to sit in the shoe and support the muscles can encourage the patient to distribute weight more evenly, according to Mayo Clinic.
In particularly severe cases, patients may need to take steroid shots. They provide immediate pain relief, but also weaken the area, making them counterproductive, states Mayo Clinic. Shock wave therapy is sometimes available, although there is no clinical evidence supporting its use. In very extreme cases, surgery detaches the plantar from the bone, although this is usually a last resort measure.
Patients can adjust their lifestyle to promote the healing process. This includes having a healthy weight to minimize stress on the muscles and wearing supportive shoes rather than heels, according to the University Health Services of Wisconsin-Madison. People who run often should replace their shoes when they begin to wear down, to ensure they are getting enough support. Home stretches and applying ice to the area for a few minutes can also provide relief.

The Most unusual sexual customs and rituals of the peoples of the world
Many interesting and unknown are fraught with traditions of the peoples of our planet. And, it's mysterious and forbidden topic of sex couldn't stay away and naturally, is reflected in various rituals and customs and sometimes quite unusual.
So, go on a journey.
Australian aborigines – war, instead of our customary handshake, friendliness demonstrate a slightly different gesture, namely by touching the cock of his companion.
Northern Kamchatka
Still in remote villages of Northern Kamchatka remains a centuries old tradition of the guest copulation with the wife of the owner of the house. Moreover, for the consent of the guest is a woman ready for anything, as this is considered a great honor. And, if after intercourse the woman will get pregnant, if not, luck and happiness to this house and around the village.
To marry a Tibetan girl should have at least a dozen sexual partners.
Here, the number of sexual relations of the bride is not particularly important, however, it must have at least two kids.
Germany, as in other and many other countries of Europe is famous for the promiscuity between people. Especially interesting the following German custom: when is the Cologne festival passers-by may seriously offer each other sex and doing them, sometimes, not even getting acquainted.
Local mores, force the bride to marry a virgin, and, before the girl will be allowed to your fiance, she will go through the rite of deprivation of virginity by a stone knife. The ceremony is held by the friends of the bridegroom, who in three days can deal with the future wife of his friend sex. Then, the "happy" bride goes to other men of the tribe and, only after them with their rightful spouse.
South Africa
Men of the local tribes, fearing to produce offspring in the form of twins, which are a type of sin and the most terrible curses, carve yourself one testicle. In other matters, as you know, the servants of the harems of the East – eunuchs put themselves more terrible execution – absolute castration.
Other African tribes, make representatives of the stronger sex before the wedding to take some kind of test. And, specifically, to have sex with the mother of the bride, as many times as need be, in order to prove their worth. However, before that, they are subject to mandatory inspection (in a literal sense: teeth, body, and so on) in front of his future father in law.
Central Africa: the tribe "chillaki"
The chief of the tribe has the right to get a wife the most beautiful girls, even if more than a hundred. But, God forbid his wives to start a conversation about what their husband is the leader does not satisfy them. In this case, the poor guy threatens not only the overthrow of the honorary post, but and death in terrible agony, because, as the legend Shirokov, impotent, unable to betray the power of fertility, earth and barnyard.
Brazil: the Indians "tupinamba"
The local tribes believe that women only like the huge size of the genital organs, therefore, these organs are subjected to the bites of poisonous snakes (to swell and enlarge)
Micronesia: the tribe "Ponape"
To excite women used the stinging bites of ants.
Japan and Korea
Since ancient times, and still, to enhance passion, Japanese and Koreans use their "crown" – the prick of a groin Golden needle.
Undoubtedly, some of the customs of distant peoples seem to us appalling, but who knows, maybe our habits would have caused a bit of a shock.

Chico Mann's synthesis of Afrobeat, Latin freestyle, electro, and Cuban soul is nothing if not unprecedented. And in keeping with that theme, Wax Poetics Records will deliver not one, but two releases by multi-instrumentalist Marcos Garcia—aka Chico Mann—on October 26. In addition to Mann's Analog Drift, his second album, Wax Poetics Records will drop an Official Serato Control Vinyl featuring the music of Chico Mann on one side and Serato Control Vinyl on the flip. The A-side will offer the Chico Mann songs "Ya Yo Sé" and "Exponential," the latter tune exclusive to this release.
In 2004, Serato debuted its Scratch Live software, allowing DJs to mix and scratch files from their computer using regular turntables or CDJs. Control Vinyl in various colors soon became collector's items among DJs, and Ya Yo Sé will enter this realm in a new shade of green.
This fall, you can catch Chico Mann on tour, from coast to coast. But Ya Yo Sé is your chance to take a piece of that music home and drop the needle yourself. And, once inspiration strikes, turn the record over, and throw yourself in the mix.
Track Listing:
- Ya Yo Sé
- Exponential
- Serato Control Vinyl

The NI Interview: Acacio Marquez
The NI Interview
Acacio Marquez
Faith in the freedom of East Timor runs deeply through the veins of its people, one of whom tracked the Hawk jets that bombed his people to their nesting grounds in Britain. He spoke to David Ransom.
photo by DAVID RANSOM
Among the first signs of economic 'Asian 'flu' infecting Western countries were the worried faces of arms dealers reviewing their contracts with the Indonesian regime. Without a constant supply of such weaponry it will be much more difficult for President Suharto and his cronies to keep the people of East Timor – or, for that matter, Indonesia itself – in their place. The story of Acacio Marquez shows why. In 1975, when the Indonesian army invaded East Timor, Acacio was ten years old and living on a small farm with his parents. Forewarned by his uncle, a resistance commander, he fled with his family into the mountains. 'There we saw the British Hawk aircraft and also the Bronco planes from the United States. I saw this with my own eyes. I know that a lot of innocent civilians died as a result of their bombing.'
The memory has stayed with him ever since. After two years of near-starvation in the mountains he was captured by the Indonesian army. He was taken back to his village with his mother.
'They came to the villages with Landrovers and arrested the remaining men, who went "missing" and were never seen alive again,' says Acacio. 'My father escaped to the mountains – every family had links with the underground. Before long I was arrested and put in a prison camp for two years. In 1989 I was arrested again because I took part in a demonstration when the Pope visited East Timor, and I was tortured with electric shocks in Dili. I was released after a week, then arrested once more because I was found taking supplies to the mountains. I escaped and left for Jakarta.
'In Jakarta my situation was very hard. At that time there were only a few East Timorese there. I lived alone and sold newspapers to try to earn a living. The Indonesian people were friendly enough, and most of the ones I met also supported the democracy movement, wanted Suharto to be finished with as quickly as possible.'
Acacio was not prepared to live out his life in lonely exile, and his odyssey took a new turn. 'I left Indonesia because I wanted to tell people around the world the real situation in East Timor. I went first to Hong Kong and Macao, where I got Portuguese citizenship. I came to London because Britain is the number-one arms supplier to Indonesia. I came to tell the people in Britain that the arms that are sold to Indonesia are used to oppress the East Timorese people.
'As soon as I arrived I took part in a demonstration outside the Department of Trade and Industry. After this we organized to do more in London and Liverpool and Leeds and at the Farnborough Air Show, where we went with members of the Kurdish community.
'In May last year I and three others were arrested in Preston, where we trespassed and entered the British Aerospace factory. After we were arrested we refused to give our names to the police, so they put us in prison. Last November we entered British Aerospace again and were arrested once more and kept in police custody.
'We refused to co-operate with the British Government because we know that Hawk aircraft are being used in East Timor, killing people in the mountains. What we are doing is for peace, to stop the continuing conflict. Twice more we refused to co-operate and spent three weeks in prison altogether. But we are not criminals: we are not like the British Government in East Timor, supporting the Indonesian regime.'
Famously, last year, a jury refused to convict 'Ploughshares' trespassers who set about Hawk aircraft with hammers. The New Labour Government in Britain has introduced a human-rights dimension to its foreign policy and the notion of 'coherence' across the whole range of its objectives. This did not, however, prevent the shipping of more Hawks to Indonesia under a contract signed by the previous government.
Even so, Acacio is disarmingly sanguine. 'I have a letter from the British Foreign Office, saying they will visit East Timor when the British take on the presidency of the European Community for the first six months of 1998,' he says. 'I hope the British Government will keep its promises.'
He reckons it's up to the British people to make sure that they do, and he's confident that they will: 'My personal message is to thank the people in many countries around the world for their support and loyalty when it comes to the situation in East Timor.'

SyFy gleanings: News about the 'Battlestar' film, a 'Caprica' challenge, the 'Eureka' love-fest and more
On Monday, the Sci Fi Channel hosted a press screening of the "Battlestar Galactica" finale, which airs Friday. Ronald D. Moore, the show's executive producer, made the assembled media types raise their hands and swear not to reveal anything that happens in the show's final two hours. And I surely don't want an angry Centurion coming after me for even hinting at any developments in the finale.
But I was able to wangle a bit more information about "Caprica," "The Plan," "Eureka" and other upcoming projects on Sci Fi, which changes its name this summer to Syfy (doesn't that sound like the name of a cream that your doctor would prescribe for a skin rash? Ah well. I said it before and I'll say it again: Sci Fi should have embraced real change and just named the channel after its famous cinematic opus, "Mansquito").
Here's one bit of "Battlestar"-related news: "The Plan," a 2-hour standalone movie that was shot last year, will "probably" air in the fall, according to Sci Fi executive Mark Stern. The date is not set in stone yet, but it sounds as though you can pencil in a November-ish air date for the Cylon-centric film.
"The Plan" was directed by Edward James Olmos, who stars in "Battlestar Galactica" as Admiral William Adama. "When ['Battlestar' fans] see 'The Plan,' they're all going to have to go back and watch the entire series again," Olmos said after the finale screening.
Regarding other projects, just as the network's "Tin Man" miniseries re-told the classic "Wizard of Oz" tale, Sci Fi is updating "Alice in Wonderland" with the upcoming miniseries "Alice," which will be made by "Tin Man's" creative team.
This summer, the network will debut a new, comedically-flavored series, "Warehouse 13," which is about a pair of federal agents who track down unusual objects and stow them in a massive warehouse full of intergalactic oddities.
"Eureka" also returns in the summer, and Colin Ferguson, who stars in the show as Sheriff Jack Carter, said at the network's party that his character has a ongoing love interest in those episodes (she's played by Jaime Ray Newman). He also said that Henry Deacon's long-lost love turns up, and Jack's daughter, Zoe, will struggle with the decision to go away to college (or not). Also, Ferguson's friend, actor Billy Campbell, will guest star in one episode.
Finally, "Caprica," the "Battlestar" prequel series, will debut in early 2010. However, in a novel twist, the show's 2-hour pilot will come out on DVD in April.
Esai Morales and Paula Malcolmson, who star in the new show, were at the Sci Fi event and Malcolmson was forthright in saying that "Caprica" would be different from "Battlestar."
"Battlestar" has "come to an end, and it's a beautiful end and [fans] should mourn that show," Malcolmson said. "You can't just come along with another show that's going to replicate it. That's not what we want to do, we want to give them something else."
There's a chance that some "Battlestar" fans might be put off by the fact that "Caprica" is more of a soap opera than a space opera.(For more on the show, look here and here; there's a clip from the show here.)
"But that's OK," said Malcolmson, who played Trixie on David Milch's "Deadwood." "I think I said the same thing about 'Deadwood.' They said, 'What do you say to purists, what do you say to people who love the Western genre?'"
Malcolmson's response was to repeat a colorful phrase that you would often hear on "Deadwood," one that cannot be reprinted in a family newspaper. Translation: If fans can't be open-minded about the new show, which takes place 50 years before the events of "Battlestar," they just shouldn't watch it.
At that point, "Battlestar" and "Caprica" executive producer David Eick, who was standing nearby, said, "She's Eddie Olmos. She's going to be the one saying, 'Don't watch our show!'"
Eick was referring to a famous incident that occurred before "Battlestar" premiered. At a press event, Olmos said that hardcore devotees of the first "Battlestar" series should not watch the new one if they could not give it a fair chance.
"He's right, though," Malcolmson said of Olmos' statement to fans of the original "Battlestar."
And if some "Battlestar fans don't like the new show, "it'll give them something to moan about. Everybody loves to complain," Malcolmson said.
But "Battlestar" fans should know that "Caprica" has Olmos' seal of approval (despite the fact that he didn't get to direct it. "They were idiots for not letting me direct it," he said quite affably.)
"This show is going to be the most spiritually centered piece of work that they've seen," Olmos noted.
And the new show has a lot in common with "Battlestar," as Morales pointed out: "Caprica" is also "about what it is to be human," he said.

Dow Swoons for Sixth Day
A day billed as Facebook Inc.'s coming-out party ended up marking a much gloomier event: the stock market's worst week in six months.
As the long-anticipated listing of the social-networking company landed with a whimper, the Dow Jones Industrial Average sank 73.11 points, or 0.6%, to 12369.38, bringing its losing streak to six days. The blue-chip index has fallen in 12 of the past 13 days.
