Cooler Master Cosmos S Review
What do you want in a new computer case? Do you need a lot of room with a clean looking chassis? Cooler Master has taken the Cosmos 1000 back to the drawing board and ended up with the Cooler Master Cosmos S computer case. The Cosmos S has changed its colors and has made improvements over the old case to improve on its ability to cool the installed components better, which is always a good thing for the consumer. Lets take a look at all of the new features that have been added as well as what Cooler Master has decided to change. Some of these new items are a massive 200mm x 230mm side fan displacing 150 c.f.m. at only 900rpm,instead of the normal push switch, a touch sensitive one is used so there are no moving parts to damage. A redesigned hard drive bay was also added along with quite a bit more. I am very curious to see how the redesigned Cosmos S compares to the Cosmos 1000.
Closer Look:
Taking a look at the front of the box of the Cooler Master Cosmos S case, you are able to see the name of the product as well as a little caption saying "Arm yourself with the best." On one of the sides of the case, you are able to see a few products that Cooler Master recommends you put inside of this case as well as a picture of the Cooler Master Cosmos S case with those products installed inside of it. The back of the box is where you are going to find some of the main features of the case, as well as a few pictures to highlight these features. On the other side of the box is where Cooler Master decided to put all of the Cosmos S's specifications listed out, and they again put the "Arm yourself with the best" quote on this side to make you believe you are purchasing the best case on the market.
When you pull the Cooler Master Cosmos S case out of the box, you are able to see the case wrapped in a brown fabric sack as well as protected from the top and bottom by molded Styrofoam. The brown sack is there to protect the case from receiving any scratches during the shipping process, while Cooler Master decided to put the Styrofoam on the top and bottom of the case to protect it from getting bumped and bending parts of the case. When you take the brown sack off, you are able to see that the case is again covered in a plastic bag to keep from any other scratches that could occur. Cooler Master was being very careful when packing the Cosmos S case.
Lets take a look at the case and see what all there is to it.

LOS ANGELES, July 23 (UPI) -- Pop star Beyonce was unharmed when her hair caught in a fan while she was performing her song "Halo" at a Montreal concert, TMZ said.
Beyonce went on singing Monday night as crewmembers worked to free her tresses, the celebrity news website said.
One assistant ultimately cut a lock of her hair with scissors and Beyonce quickly moved away from the fan, the report said.
"I got snatched," the singer later tweeted about the incident.

One thing I neglected to mention in today's post on "demand-side scandals" was the attention Republicans gave to Hillary Clinton during yesterday's hearings over Benghazi. NBC News' First Read has the details:
Wednesday's congressional hearing probing last year's attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi revealed this political development: Key parts of the conservative movement are turning their attention from President Obama to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. "I find it stunning that four and a half months after the attack, Secretary Clinton still has the gall to say it wasn't us," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) said at yesterday's House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. Added Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH): "Tell me, who is Cheryl Mills?… She is the fixture for the secretary of state; she is as close as you can get to Secretary Clinton."
In addition, for the first time since Feb. 2008 (when Obama overtook Hillary in the Democratic presidential contest), Republican groups inundated our inboxes with emails about Clinton. The GOP oppo organization American Rising: "Benghazi Hearing Raises Serious Questions About Clinton." The Karl Rove-backed American Crossroads: "Hicks told Clinton at 2am it was terrorism." Here was Citizens United's David Bossie (who was behind the "Hillary: The Movie"): "The Need For A Select Committee Is More Evident Than Ever." And Drudge's front page for most of yesterday looked like a time warp to when the Clintons were the constant focus of conservative attacks.
This is one thing we should expect more of as time progresses, and Clinton comes closer to making a decision about her political future. At the moment, Republicans have nothing but kind words for the former Secretary of State. But if she decides to run, expect them to focus their anger and attention on her, both for being a Clinton and for being Barack Obama's potential successor. Likewise, you'll see rapid movement in the polls, as ordinary Republican voters who liked Clinton as a mostly nonpartisan figure remember that she's a Democrat.
The main point is this: For whatever reason, a large chunk of the conservative base (and their representatives) simply won't accept any Democrat as a legitimate leader of the country. That was true twenty years ago, it was true four years ago, and will be true four years from now if Clinton—or any other Democrat–is elected president.

Wabash Receives Grant to Promote Financial Literacy• July 8, 2010 Share:
Wabash College will share an Indiana Independent College & Universities $10,000 grant with Franklin College and Valparaiso University to promote "Financial Literacy on Campus."
The Wabash College chapter of Students in Free Enterprise, along with the Financial Aid Office, will produce four "MoneyCam webisodes" as a "Guide to Financial Management."
The ICI initiative was made possible by the PNC Foundation, which receives funding from the PNC Financial Service Group. All member colleges of the Independent Colleges of Indiana were invited to submit proposals for how they would use the funding to address the critical need for college students to acquire and understand basic skills in economics, personal finances, and the responsible use of credit.
"Teaching young people how to manage their money for success in work and in life is a priority for PNC," said Steve Stitle, PNC regional president for Indiana. "We look to invest in the communities we serve, and one way is by funding creative programs that address financial literacy."
The Wabash project will use humor in their project. The webisodes will show how to create a budget, choose and use credit cards, read a credit report, and invest; they will be used in campus workshops, posted on YouTube and the Wabash website, and promoted and utilized by Workforce One in Crawfordsville in working with Head Start families.
The PNC Foundation, which receives its principal funding from The PNC Financial Services Group (NYSE: PNC), actively supports organizations that provide services for the benefit of communities in which it has a significant presence. The foundation focuses its philanthropic mission on early childhood education and community and economic development, which includes the arts and culture. Through its signature cause, Grow Up Great, PNC has created a 10-year, $100 million initiative to enhance early childhood education and school readiness.
Independent Colleges of Indiana, Inc. (ICI) is a nonprofit corporation that represents the state's 31 nonprofit, accredited, undergraduate degree-granting institutions of higher education. ICI member institutions enroll more than 85,000 students (approximately 22 percent of all higher-education students statewide) and annually produce more than 35 percent of all bachelor's degrees in Indiana.

Sterling Network Groups - Cheltenham Regency Breakfast
Cheltenham Regency Breakfast Group Leader
Event Details
At the heart of Sterling Networking groups, is a core value of networking with integrity.
We never pressurise anybody to join any of our groups at any time, and would much rather a prospective member visit their selected group at least twice before joining, which enables both the prospective member and the group to make sure they are a good 'fit' before.
We strongly believe in business collaboration wherever possible, and help to facilitate 1 – 1 face to face meetings between members and also visiting guests to ensure a good understanding of each other's business.
How our networking breakfasts work...
We follow an agenda, which allows for introductions and informal as well as formal networking, as well as the friendly banter you would expect from a professional and personable group.
6:45am Meeting begins with a tea, coffee, water or juice and enjoy 15 minutes' informal networking.
7:00am Breakfast is served or collected: Traditional cooked breakfast (or vegetarian option).
7:10am '60-second round'. This is an opportunity for each member and guest to introduce themselves and their business, defining the kinds of referrals and any particular introductions they currently seek.
7:45am 'Engine Room' break. This is the crucial part of our meetings whereby after listening to the 60 second introductions from members and guests, this is a great opportunity to connect and arrange your 1 – 1 appointments with businesses you would like to know more about. At the same time a chance to refill your beverage.
7:55am Member presentation to the group of around 10 minutes. This is a great platform, when members can describe their business more fully, and give an opportunity for their group to understand the nature and direction of their business. Brilliant for new projects and new ideas. Invaluable!
8:10am The 'activity round' comes next. This is when members and guests are invited to summarise what's been happening with their business during the previous two weeks, which may include referrals made and received, give thanks to other members and guests, describe any 'one-to-one' meetings held outside the breakfast meeting and share any latest news.
At 8:30am Meeting closes, but you're welcome to stay on for extra networking and discussion if you wish.
How much does it cost?
Annual membership is just £329. Remember, Sterling actively encourage you to come along to one or two meetings at the same group or different groups before you decide whether or not to join. We really want you to make the most of your membership and that it is a good 'fit' for both you and the group.
What are the benefits?
Networking: business development is just one of many benefits!
Business networking brings diverse professionals together for mutual benefits, including:
• introductions to potential new customers
• build a wide network of business contacts
• gain the help and support of fellow networkers... and benefit from their expertise
• share your own knowledge and experience: 'giving back'
• source partners and suppliers you can trust
• discuss new ideas and emerging trends

12 Airlines With the Healthiest Food
See Gallery
While most airlines have cut back on serving free meals and even snacks and transitioned to pay-per-meal plans, nutrition expert Charles Platkin notes that airline food is becoming a lot healthier, with airlines providing at least one nutritious meal on their in-flight menu, according to the Los Angles Times.
Airlines with the Healthiest Food
Platkin, a professor of nutrition at the City University of New York and founder of Diet Detective, has ranked and tested numerous airline foods for the past 12 years. His annual Airline Food Survey found that Virgin America provides the healthiest options; he awarded it four-and-a-half stars on a five-star scale. Virgin America serves low-calorie alternatives such as a Protein Plate with hummus, nuts, and tuna, and a roasted pear and arugula salad with almonds and fig mustard dressing. Each of these food options is less than 450 calories and packed with fiber.
Platkin rated the food on 12 airlines, providing a health score based on availability of healthy snacks and meals, food variety, calories, innovation, cooperation in offering nutritional information, and how the airline's healthy options have improved since last year's survey.
Air Canada and Alaska Airlines came up second and third on Platkin's list. American, United, Delta, and US Airways also made the cut, falling within the middle of the list.
The lowest ranking was given to Las Vegas-based Allegiant Air, which received one-and-a-half stars for its snacks, which include Pringles chips, and M&M's.

Now in its 10th year, Green Ray Theater's "world theater" series will present two award-winning plays — a remounted work Proof, which they first performed in 2005, and a new work for them called The Goat: or, Who is Sylvia? in May.
Last year, following on from director and playwright Wu Nien-jen's Human Condition series, which was presented in its entirety from part one to part four in a record-breaking one-month-long marathon string of performances becoming a runaway hit for the troupe's "national theater" series, Green Ray Theater focuses this year on staging two adaptations of Western contemporary literary works, which will not only expand audiences' world view, but also impress them with a whole new theatrical experience.
Green Ray Theater marketing director Li Yen-hsiang said in a telephone interview with the Taipei Times last Thursday that as compared with original plays, which are often larger in scale and put more emphasis on the sense of storytelling, adaptations of contemporary literary works in the "world theater" series are often more delicate and smaller in scale, with only four to six performers in a one-act play. In other words, the more delicate a play is, the greater a challenge it will place on the acting skills of the performers because they have a relatively larger part in the play. This gives performers an opportunity to display their strengths as professional actors and actresses.
David Auburn's Proof, which won the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Tony Award for Best Play, explores the affection and trust between a father and a daughter, a man and a woman, two sisters, as well as a teacher and a student after the discovery of a proof of a mathematical theorem written in a notebook. The play only has four characters, whose emotions constantly flip back and forth between past and present. Given that the mood of performers must change swiftly and frequently, and performers must memorize lots of lines in the script, the play requires performers with sound performing skills and emotional and psychological depth. "This is a play that brings forth a brilliant playwright and a feast for audiences, but it is also one that is very exacting on its performers," said Wu after reading the script.
Theater of the Absurd playwright Edward Albee's 2002 Tony Award for Best Play The Goat: or, Who is Sylvia? tells the tale of a married architect, who leads an ostensibly ideal life with his loving wife and gay teenage son. But his life crumbles when he falls in love with a goat. In the play, the son's gay identity is nothing to be surprised at since it is just a lifestyle choice. But when a man loves a goat, does such "love" really exist? This is the question around which the play is themed. The construction of the characters challenges performers' acting skills, and the incisive dialogue constantly pushing itself to its limit tests the audiences' bottom line.
Proof and The Goat: or, Who is Sylvia? will be performed four times each in Mandarin Chinese at the Metropolitan Hall in May and Proof will also go on tour in Greater Taichung and Greater Tainan in June. Tickets will be available through ERA ticketing and online at www.ticket.com.tw starting next Monday.

Several medical screening programs are available to former Fernald workers. They include:
CINCINNATI�University of Cincinnati (UC) scientists say that a recent scientific study of a now-closed uranium processing plant near Cincinnati has identified a second, potentially more significant source of radon exposure for former workers.
That source�six silos filled with uranium ore in the production area�resulted in relatively high levels of radon exposure to 12 percent of the workers. More than half (56 percent) of the workers were exposed to low levels of radon while working at the site.
�Our findings have scientific and political ramifications,� explains Susan Pinney, PhD, corresponding author of the study and associate professor of environmental health at UC. �Now we know workers in the plant�s production area prior to 1959 may be at increased risk for developing lung cancer and other exposure-related health problems.�
Third-shift plant workers were most affected, during some years being exposed to three times more harmful radon gas than workers on other shifts, according to the UC study. Researchers say the elevated exposure was the result of decreased air movement and less dispersion of radon gas during the night.
Pinney and Richard Hornung, PhD, recently reported their findings in the September issue of the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology. This is the first time on-site radon exposure at the plant has been quantified in workers.
A previous study identified two silos, known by the code name �K-65,� as the only source of radon exposure. The silos were located on the west side of the U.S. Department of Energy Uranium Processing Plant in Fernald.
�Our original intention was to develop and validate radon exposure estimates for the K-65 silos,� explains Hornung. �But when we studied radon tracks on film placed on window glass in the Fernald plant, we found evidence of a second, previously unidentified radon source.�
UC researchers traced the radon to six silos, known by the code name �Q-11,� centrally located near a major production area. The silos were originally used to store high grade uranium ore and later held byproducts from the ore chemical separation process known as raffinate.
�The initial site review conducted by the federal government overlooked the Q-11 silos as a source of radon emissions,� says Hornung, a professor of environmental health at UC and director of the biostatistics and data core at Cincinnati Children�s Hospital Medical Center. �This second source of radon dominates the total radon exposure from both sources during the period of 1952 to 1958 for workers near the Q-11 silos. Our study revealed that a small number of Fernald workers� cumulative radon exposures were in the range of underground uranium miners.�
�When the plant was in operation, employees wore badges to measure gamma radiation exposure�but not alpha radiation sources like radon,� he adds.
According to company records, 7,143 people worked at the uranium processing plant between 1952 and the plant�s closing in 1989.
Uranium is a heavy metal that is essential for operation of electricity-producing nuclear reactors around the world. The metal can be removed from ore through a chemical separation process that leaves a soupy mixture of liquid and chemical byproducts known as �raffinate.� That raffinate was stored in the K-65 silos.
�Uranium raffinate has high levels of radium and radon decay products,� explains Pinney, �and for more than 30 years the K-65 silos emitted radon gas into the plant�s atmosphere. The gas is odorless and colorless, so the workers never knew they were breathing it.�
According to the National Academy of Sciences, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. The substance, which can be dispersed in the form of gas through air or water, genetically alters cells in the lung�s lining and can greatly increase a person�s risk for lung cancer.
Pinney's team conducted a four-year study, based on questionnaire information about actual work location and the time of work shifts, to determine how much radon workers from different areas of the plant were exposed to.
Fernald personnel records did not include work locations, so to accurately evaluate radon exposure levels the UC researchers developed a complex worker-location coding system to place employees at specific sites across the plant. They also used a specialized plastic film to measure radon exposure at the various plant locations. By studying the number of tracks left on the film by radon decay products, they found the second radon source.
�Radon gas disperses widely,� explains Pinney, �and since the level of radon exposure is based on your proximity to a specific source, we had to know approximately where each worker stood or sat during their shift to figure out what level of radon they were being exposed to.�
Pinney�s team divided the 1,000-acre Fernald facility into numerous work locations within areas of the facility: the �production area,� which included all production plants and outlying buildings; �controlled production areas� other non-production areas where workers were also required to undergo decontamination measures; and �uncontrolled areas,� which included common destinations such as the cafeteria, administrative offices, laundry and laboratories. Employees were further differentiated into 41 categories based on what years and shifts they worked in the plant.
Using information from individual worker�s job history files, the team was able to assign workers to locations across the plant, for each calendar year. Worker locations were verified using data from more than 2,100 detailed questionnaires completed by employees enrolled in the plant�s medical monitoring program.
�Although we can�t determine the exact number,� says Hornung, �our research suggests that over 2,500 people may have been exposed to levels of radon gas that were higher than previously thought during their daily work, coming from a combination of the Q-11 silo and K-65 sources.�
Researchers point out that the radon emitting materials in the K-65 and Q-11 silos were removed in the process of cleaning up the site, so there is no longer any source of radon gas related to the site.
This research was funded by the U.S. Public Health Service, the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.
Study collaborators include David Brewer and James Nasuta. George Killough of Hendecagon Corp. and Jeffrey Lodwick, PhD, a former UC staff member who is now with the U.S. Department of Labor, also contributed to the study. Hornung has a dual affiliation with UC and Cincinnati Children�s.
More information about radon is available at www.epa.gov/radon. Specific questions from workers should be directed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by calling (800)-CDC-INFO.

Wabash College Welcomes 274 New Students Todayby Howard W. Hewitt • August 16, 2006 Share:
More than 274 young men are expected on the Wabash campus Saturday for Freshman Saturday. One of the biggest classes in recent years will be the first to be 'rung in' by new President Patrick White.
Saturday's activities begin with a morning-long registration period. The College's office of Alumni and Parent Relations will be hosting a Parent's Reception in the Allen Athletic Center. Simultaneously the Interfraternity Council will be hosting an introduction to the Wabash Fraternity system. A luncheon will be served before the highlight of the day, the 1 p.m. official ringing in at the Pioneer Chapel.
Dr. Patrick White will give his first official, on-campus remarks to the Class of 2010. And like his predecessors, he will use the bell which once belonged to founder Caleb Mills to "ring in" the class. The freshmen will not hear the bell again until their May 16, 2010, graduation date.
Saturday afternoon is set aside for students to meet with orientation leaders and faculty advisors. The young men will say goodbye to parents by 5:45 and enjoy a picnic in the college's Arboretum.
Sunday and Monday will include placement examinations. All of the freshmen will participate in community service projects Monday afternoon. Additional sessions with faculty advisors are available on Tuesday and Wednesday. The freshman will get an introduction to Wabash Support services, campus employments and computer services.
Classes begin for all students Thursday, Aug. 24.
Meet members of the class of 2010, by clicking here.

Hmm, we may have to send them some extra nukes to get the job done properly.
They'll still beat the Bills.
It's funny because it's true.
Hell!I would support that if they could save one nuke and drop it on Hartford,Connecticut.Afterall Hartford would not be missed.
It was a joke.
I'm a Bill's fan, but still enjoy humor...
Q. What's the difference between a Bullalo Bill and a Dollar Bill?
A. You get 4 quarters from a dollar bill.
A joke in poor taste, then....
The correct punchline is "A dollar bill is good for four quarters"
Okay if that hurts your feelings how about Chicago or Detroit?
Either one would improve this country in many aspects. Especially if Nero was home visiting his fellow felons.
Pretty close to treason....
I guess the locker room, then, wherein the whole team yells, let's kill 'em out there, are all pretty close to conspiracy to commit murder?
And make sure Robert Kraft (CT's most hated team owner, next to Peter Karmanos) is the only one there at the time...
From the pics I have seen of Detroit, I thought someone had already hit them.
My bad.
Make sure all of the RINOs and Liberals Dems are the only one hurt (and see if Peter Karmanos will be in Hartford, too)
If I had my druthers, though, I'druther see Washington DC on the short list.
LMAO!!! Ok, now someone needs to do a midnight job and paint a large bullseye on the stadium turf.
Just as long as they don't hit Fed-Ex field or the Redskins' HQS. HTTR!
Might want to make sure everyone's favorite coach Belichick is in the vicinity first...

Washington, DC (PRWEB) March 22, 2012
Pearson Higher Education today announced a major investment in nursing education with the launch of Readypoint™ Nursing. Readypoint Nursing is the first program to fully integrate learning with assessment to help ensure students are prepared not only for professional licensure but to launch their careers and practice nursing.
"The shortage of qualified nurses in the U.S. directly impacts our future in terms of the health of our citizens and the economy. And there is no end in sight—the shortage is projected to grow to 260,000 by 2025," said Tim Bozik, CEO of Pearson Higher Education. "Today, only 75 percent of the students who enroll in nursing programs make it to graduation, and the burnout rate for nurses is alarmingly high due to a gap in preparation for the realities and demands of actual nursing practice. Pearson is helping to tackle this problem head-on, working directly with nurse educators who are on the front lines to develop a strategy that addresses these pain points."
Readypoint Nursing offers the most advanced reporting of student progress and targeted remediation available. Created in collaboration with thousands of nurse educators, Readypoint Nursing is designed to help students "think like a nurse" from day one in the classroom. It is seamlessly integrated with Pearson's MyNursingLab and provides students, nurse educators and administrators with unprecedented insight into student performance. This insight empowers action: Since Readypoint Nursing works with each student from the first day of class, an individual student's readiness can be determined at any point to measure mastery in core topic areas, or to identify and address the student's needs for remediation.
"The remediation and reporting that Readypoint Nursing offers is easy, intuitive and insightful. Now, instead of spending so much time compiling and analyzing students' scores, we can easily identify key areas of strengths and weaknesses and more effectively prepare our students for success on the licensing exam and beyond," said Dr. Audrey Berman, Dean of the Samuel Merritt University School of Nursing.
Readypoint Nursing will be showcased at the American Association of Colleges of Nursing annual meeting on March 24-27 in Washington, DC.
"The Readypoint model is a scalable solution that brings together the best of Pearson—our proven technology, content and assessment services—into a seamless program aimed at improving achievement," said Tim Bozik.
Readypoint Nursing will be available in Summer 2012. For more information, visit http://www.readypointnursing.com.

One of the pleasures of hearing a new Leonard Cohen album is discovering how much deeper his voice has gotten since the last one. You can't quite imagine how it can get any lower but you know it will be. And sure enough, every time, there it is, wallowing out of the speakers like a comforting baritone hippo, one step closer to its logical conclusion as the oral equivalent of Sunn O)))'s guitar tones.
Similarly, one of the pleasures of hearing a new Fall album is discovering just how incoherently frazzled Mark E. Smith's voice has become. Their last set, 2011's Ersatz GB, reached new levels of slurring phlegminess and now Mark E. Smith returns to assure us that his enunciation is only moving in one direction. Remember My Fair Lady? If Mark E. Smith was asked to recite "the rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain", he'd burble something along the lines of "(cough, cough) thhh rgggggghn-ah in Salfrrrd fcccckin sttttairs-aaaah (cough)" before smacking Rex Harrison in the face.
Re-Mit might not be the record on which Smith finally relinquishes language altogether in favour of communicating in only a dry-mouthed hangover gargle, but it's close. At times, not only is it impossible to determine what Smith is saying, it's impossible to determine whether he is even attempting to pronounce any recognisable human words with his reptilian chops. The title of 'Sir William Wray' seems to have been chosen less as a tribute to the seventeenth-century MP baronet than because a) it offers the opportunity to make repeated, consecutive use of 'w' and 'r' sounds and b) because it rhymes with 'hey':
"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-werrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! / WRAY! / HEY!"
The outro of 'Hittite Man' involves Smith coughing and wheezing assuredly into the microphone as if fronting a celebrity campaign on behalf Asthmatic Pride. When his pronunciation grows more comprehensible, his meaning does not. Who knows if the song 'Irish' is pro-Irish, anti-Irish, ambivalent towards the Irish, or not about the Irish at all? Whoever it's about, "James Murphy is their chief," apparently.
On 'Pre-MDNA', its lyrics reprised two tracks later for 'Victrola Time', Smith enjoys nonsensically reciting various letters and affixes: "The pre-non-MDM and jet years / The post... the post M and also DMA years / The MDMN years..." He seems to be enjoying himself throughout, in fact. Whereas he sounded pretty gruff and grumpy on Ersatz (and at times fatigued), there is a light-hearted, sozzled glee to the silly, wizened falsetto he attempts at the start of 'Victrola Time' and the cries of "aaaaaaaaaah", "sssssssssssh" and the final manic "A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" that conclude 'No Respects Rev.'
Double-tracked, the duo of Smith voices on 'Jetplane' don't make the surreal airport-based narrative much easier to follow. "The Italians certainly like their Sundays," he says. "And to make matters worse some sort of rock group was holding up things also. They were bringing elbows and Euros into Heathrow." Well, quite.
Accompanying Smith's relatively gay and playful mood, among the intelligible lyrics that jut out from the mucosal murk are those which suggest Smith is growing more relaxed and less confrontational, which might be supported by the fact that Re-Mit marks the first time Smith has managed to record four consecutive albums with the same line-up. There is something strangely moving about the range of emotions that mark the bizarre opening ramble of 'Kinder of Spine':
"Spider! / Why have I got spiders?! / Dear spider / Hello spider / Help me spider!"
Meanwhile, 'Noise' contains the disarmingly tolerant and apparently sincere exposition, "Kiddies, as we get older, we have to try to understand people who are different from us. Peter [pronounced a bit like 'Pizza'] is one of these people. In his hands is a guitar..."
Which brings us to the music. On the whole, it matches Smith's cheerier mood. A couple of abstract jam splodges aside, the album is punchier and less dirgy than last time. A quick tempo is maintained with few tracks exceeding the four-minute-mark. Smith's arachnid encounter is backed by a strutting Sixties organ stomp. The guitar work on 'Hittite Man' and 'No Respects Rev' is suave, cool and assured, as if played by a man in a suit with one groomed eyebrow raised over his chic shades... who just happens to be collaborating with a dishevelled poet who lives in a skip. The fairly intricate surf guitar pattern on the latter approaches the band's late-Eighties smoothness. With its heavy krautrocking bass and wobbly kosmische keyboard effects, 'Victrola Time' is the little brother of recent triumphs such as 'Blindness' and 'Reformation'.
The album closes with 'Loadstones': an instant-classic Fall anthem. Its lairy chorus of "LOCAL! / LOADSTONES!" is perfectly designed for Fall fans to devotedly chant in the direction of their hero as he valiantly stumbles around the stage, behind the stage, off stage, and eventually, regrettably into the distance.

NEW YORK (AP) – Two Transportation Security Administration officers who admitted stealing $40,000 from luggage at a New York City airport are going to jail.
The Queens district attorney's office says 44-year-old Coumar Persad and 31-year-old Davon Webb were sentenced Tuesday to six months in jail and five years' probation. Both had pleaded guilty to grand larceny, obstructing governmental administration and official misconduct.
The two TSA officers were based at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Authorities say they swiped the cash after spotting it in a piece of luggage while it was being X-rayed in January 2011. The cash was recovered from their homes.
Persad's attorney has said his client understands he made a mistake and wishes to move on with his life.

There's been a trend in recent years to label everything round the house - soap bowls, string holders, bread boxes, jam pots, tea and coffee jars and all that vintage glory stuff. I've campaigned tirelessly against this, led marches, organised petitions and sat in for sit-ins, as I don't like being patronised by my groceries, but somehow it's different if you use containers for the wrong purpose.

As though any greater delight were possible, the matching pillowcases came in smaller, even more beguiling bags. I don't know what I'll do with them yet but just having them makes my life complete.

Learning Environment is a learning management system that enables you to access course material online. There are a number of learning tools within the system that course content is contained in. This topic provides some basic advice for using the system with screen magnifiers, zooming functionality and color contrast functionality.
Screen magnifiers, zooming functionality and color contrast functionality are often used by people who have difficulties reading online. Difficulties can include low vision, color blindness, eye strain, or dyslexia. Screen magnifiers and zooming functionality are also used by individuals who have fine motor skills difficulty as they increase the target for selectable content (such as links, icons and form fields).
There are a couple of ways you can increase the size of content in Learning Environment to improve readability:
Your institution or individual course instructors can customize page colors and text font as desired. As a result, the readability of Learning Environment depends a lot on your institution.
If you are having difficulty using Learning Environment because of the text and background colors used, we recommend that you use a screen magnifier or other assistive technology that allows you to invert or adjust the colors on a page.
Another popular option is to use a custom cascading style sheet (CSS). There are many free cascading style sheets available on the internet. CSS works best in Learning Environment when background images are turned off, but normal images and icons are left unaltered. Learning Environment is a complex site with a number of different tools and page designs, as a result a fairly detailed style sheet is needed to display content effectively.
There are a number of settings in the Account Settings tool that you may find improves the readability of Learning Environment.
Choose the Basic option to simplify movement through the main metadata page.
If you are having difficulty using Learning Environment to complete your course work, consider seeking help from your course leader or a disability services group at your institution. Most institutions have support centers to help users learn new technology, seek special accommodations, and organize tutoring and other support.

With late afternoon warmth settling in, maze-goers gradually trickle in like an unfastened water faucet and sophomore education major Idanea Gomez shelves her history book underneath the counter to attend to customers.
So far, it's the busiest day of the season, which started the weekend before. She manages the token booth at La Union Maze, located at 1101 South Highway 28. For the second consecutive year, she sells tickets for various attractions at the popular autumn activity.
Many college students like Gomez juggle a job while attending school. Although the job is seasonal, Gomez said the work environment is worth coming back each year.
"My mom and my sister work here, so I do this with them. It's fun," Gomez said. "You get to meet a lot of people."
Now in its 11th season, La Union Maze retains about two-thirds of their employees, co-owner Lucy Sondgeroth said, who helps run the maze with her husband Robert.
"There are kids here that have been with us five or six years," Sondgeroth said.
The maze opened Sept. 25, and it remains open until Nov. 7. La Union Maze includes two mazes, smaller entertainment attractions and snacks such as roasted corn. This year's maze is themed to commemorate American troops.
After five years of employment at the maze, Alex Gonzalez, junior mechanical engineer major, said he returns each year because of the overall employee morale, schedule flexibility and pastoral atmosphere.
"If you put the effort in, it's more fun than it is work," Gonzalez said.
The Sondgeroths rely mostly on the help of friends and family to find dedicated employees. Lucy said it takes about 25 employees at the beginning of the season to man the maze but that often increases to 35 at midseason.
"We hardly ever take walk-ins," Sondgeroth said. "We rather know who they are, or know somebody who knows who they are."
Gonzalez was an exception to the family and friend prerequisite.
He originally asked owner Robert Sondgeroth if he accepted volunteers at the maze. Robert took his information and called him back. On his first day at the maze, Gonzalez was asked to clock in. The maze became a job.
"He told me to clock in and clock out. I was just expecting to volunteer and he started paying me," Gonzalez said. "It made it more worthwhile."
Gonzalez, who was hired as a sophomore in high school, said he wanted to work at the maze because it looked fun, and it was a chance to acquire experience.
"I never expected to be there that long," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez said five years later, he still enjoys working like he did in the beginning. He prefers to roast corn to the other tasks. He said it challenges him because it is fast paced and detailed.
"You got to figure out a way to get a process done," Gonzalez said. "It requires the most thinking. It's most stressful."
Gonzalez said the job is fairly easy to carry while going to school, but as he gets further into his studies, his hours at the maze dwindle.
Gomez, who was referred to the maze by her mother, who knows Lucy, said it is not a bad job to have while going to school. It can only get difficult for her because she also works at the Academic Advising Center and must manage her time wisely.
"I can bring my homework here (the maze) and get ahead. If not I do it all Sunday," Gomez said.
Gomez said the maze is flexible with student workers.
"They're flexible with us because they take a little part of their lives to help us. We have to be flexible with them too," Sondgeroth said.
Managing such a large staff requires patience, organisation and flexibility, Sondgeroth said.
"It gets a little hectic. Robert and I are like, 'who's where? Who's on first? Who's on second?'" Sondgeroth laughs.
Sondgeroth said it's important to accommodate their employees because the job can be exhausting and tedious.
"If we're not terribly busy, we don't mind if they have a book to read," Sondgeroth said.
The Sondgeroths emphasize the importance of being alert and customer service to employees.
During the day, families and their children frequent the maze. A different crowd – high school students, college students, young couples and more – dominate the evening. The crowds change the atmosphere for employees. The evening is usually busier.
"They're more relaxed because they're not dealing with so many kids," Sondgeroth said. "On the other hand, they have to be alert about trouble (since) you have an older crowd."
The Sondgeroths station employees – young and old – at every attraction, depending on responsibility. Emmanuel Medrano, freshman pre-engineering major, has worked two weekends so far. He has worked at the rubber duck race station, pedal car race and as a corn cop.
He said it can be difficult at first, but it gets easier. As a corn cop, he had to help lost families get out of the maze. He admits he is just getting the hang of the maze.
"You recognize some spots, but during the night, you get lost pretty easy," Medrano said.
Medrano also brings books to study during downtime or when he's not walking through the maze.
Gonzalez said it takes at least two weekends to learn the ins and outs of the maze.
"At the beginning everybody's a little lost but that comes with the territory," Sondgeroth said. "Once they do it a few times, they have a sense of where everything is. Something about a young mind that figures things out fast. I would be lost in there forever."
Job stations include mazes (difficult and novice), the Hill, the Big Jumping Pillow, the Pumpkin Patch Trolley, Cow Train, Pedal Cars, Target Practice, Duck Races and more.
"If your kids are not dirty when they leave here they didn't have fun," Sondgeroth said.

Vegan Around the Clock: 25 Vegan Recipes from Breakfast to Dessert from The Kitchn
To be honest, when Vegan Week came up on the editorial calendar, I wasn't exactly brimming with ideas. It's not because I have anything against vegan cooking, but because when I cook vegan, it's usually an accident. See, vegan cooking often just happens when you try to let vegetables and grains shine in dishes without a lot of fuss.
What I love about vegan cooking is not its fake-meat-like substances, but for its emphasis on simple ways to cook with fresh foods from the earth, without much fuss and lots of improvisation. And the great thing about having five years of recipe archives on TheKitchn.com is that when I do need to find a vegan recipe, I know where to go.

|Freeze, Die, Revive
Petrodvorts, 1986
Its more than twenty years now that I have been watching the development of the work of Natalya Nesterova. And such is the fate of a museum curator whose collection contains the artists works, parallel with the corpus of interpretations that accompany this development. Parallel, because Nesterova is a unique event: her art is created absolutely independently of critical discourse. So it was in Soviet times, when the critics expressed the official opinion (then one simply had to take it into account) or the liberal intelligentsias view (to which one also had to pay attention). And so it is in the Post-Soviet period, when the artistic process has been more or less normalized and the critic is no longer the mouthpiece for non-artistic forces. However, on the professional plane the critic is an interpreter and is also as a rule, a curator, and has even greater influence: the representation of the artist depends on him, he is more than a co-author. This may be so, but throughout her career, all these figures of power had no influence on Nesterova. The corpus of interpretations of her work is interesting as a reflection, a documentation of changing social and artistic situations, that is, edifying in its own right. In that sense, it deserves a closer look.
From the moment of her appearance on the Soviet art scene, Nesterova was given heightened attention. The attention per se was a sign of success, but of a special success, related to possession. Official art, "vegetarian" in the words of Anna Akhmatova, immediately tried to appropriate her work: the subject mattermeals, festivities, parties, relaxationwas interpreted as traditionally Soviet, a return to the archetype of "culture and relaxation of workers," formulated in the 1930s by, incidentally, first-rate masters. The manner naturally did not please the adepts of academic naturalism, but it could be tolerated: after all, it was figurative, and the obvious primitivism could be viewed as based in folklore. The liberal opposition camp also claimed Nesterova as "one of theirs": the same motifs were interpreted as being moderately critical. The primitivism was seen not as a bow to folklore sources and popular joy, but a reflection of the lack of spirituality and impoverishment of the Soviet lifestyle. They also noted the tension and forced sense of the parties and holidays and the clear unhappiness of the peoples faces and the readiness to hide a persons face behind a theatrical mask. The masquerade was seen as masking: first of all as a passive rejection of the surrounding "Soviet" reality. In Post-Soviet times the former hierarchies and the whole official-nonofficial juxtaposition lost their meaning. Conceptual artists were best at integrating into the transnational artistic process. It would seem that Nesterova with her figurativeness, passe-ism, and unhurried development of painterly representation was doomed to marginalization. But no conceptual and post-conceptual artists, to whom Nesterova was not close either in spirit or blood, treated her with great respect. They include her in joint project, readily exhibit with her, and in general, show their reverence. No, they do not try to interpret her "to the end," "to the core" that goal does not exist within the framework of conceptual discourse. However the obvious "indecipherability" of her art and uselessness of all previous interpretations is close to the work of actual art. It seems that in the persistent repetition of themes, in the growing illogic of depicted situations, they see if not esoteric practice, then at least a reflection of metaphysicality. In every sense, a presence of a potential conceptual project.
Well then, it would appear from all Ive said that Nesterova has had an exceptionally successful life. She suited the court in every period, has been of interest to several generations and the most varied audiences. But I would dare to note that all these things are only parallel to the creation of her lifes project in art. They have no impact on her art. The project would have developed in exactly the same way whether Nesterova had been part of the marginal artists or the stars of the mainstream. I doubt she ever thought about the strategy for survival in art, never positioned herself vis-a-vis the power points: tendencies, groups, or the curators establishment.
Arbat, 1984
She positioned herself in terms of other, more substantive and existential things. In essence, very simple things. For instance, the ceremonial flow of time.
I believe that it was this regimen of embodying time that has absorbed her from the start, first elementally and then with much more reflection. This is the most important part of her project. Endless flashes of the passage of timestopped, found, lost, rewound, discrete. Flash: and the highlight on the nose of a cafe regular has been captured forever. Flash: and the spaghetti being sucked into a mouth takes on the duration of almost geological time. Flash: and the shadow falling on a Moscow side street becomes as inexorable as the appearance of the shade of Hamlets father in the Shakespeare play. Let me note: the flash is only a method of vision, of illuminating the flow of time, a way of working with it. It has nothing in common with the captured moment. Rather, stopped time is a rare incident in her work with ceremonial time. As a rule, her work is more complex: Nesterova tests time by taste, by weight, by color, biting down on it. She can access the most complex temporal processes. For instance, multidirectional, discrete time: in the works devoted to the Summer Gardens in St. Petersburg, the antique sculptures may seem more animated, "younger," more flexible in the joints that the old-fashioned urban dwellers dressed in baggy suits.
Children just mastering reality deal with the regimens of time flow much more freely than adults. Russian children have a game that fits amazingly well as an overlay on Nesterovas poetics: freeze, die, revive! Im certain that children all over the world have comparable games.
