Post subject: high tea in London
I'm sure
on this board has made some recommendations re where to have high tea in London; I just can't track down the thread. Nonetheless, can someone recommend for me a light, airy and cozy place for high tea in London? (I don't like the dark, wood-paneled English library look of some tea salons.)
Having high tea is one of the things I've never managed to do while in London and I'm hoping to do it this time around (in early November). Wish me luck fellow tea lovers!

I've had tea at Browns, a nice, refined but non-snooty hotel in Mayfair with a lovely high tea. After having been refused by the Ritz because my friend was in blue jeans, we walked onto the street, feeling slightly ashamed. The suprisingly kind uniformed doorman at the Ritz recommended Browns, which was a short walk away and a terrific choice. They were friendly (didn't look twice at my friend's blue jeans) and the traditional high tea was very nice, exactly what one would expect: pleasantly leisurely with lots of tea refills and the usual finger sandwiches and tea cakes. Now, it's not a stuffy english library-type room, nor is it light and airy. I do remember it being decorated in shades of cucumber and gray, very comfortable, more like your well-to-do Aunt's newly decorated sitting room. I can recommend it, though, for a lovely typical English high-tea experience.

You will find the thread 'Questions about British Afternoon Tea' in 'Cooking and Eating' Page 2.
Good luck!

I too seem to remember Browns' being recommended over the Ritz
There is another highly recommended hotel too, but I shall have to look through my folders to find it. By the way, it is referred to as afternoon tea, and not high tea
High tea is a fairly robust meal eaten at 6.00 pm in some parts of the U.K.

Post subject: Afternoon Tea in London
In addition to Browns and the Ritz, I have had lots of fun and very nice traditional high teas at both the Dorchester and Savoy hotels. Claridges and the Connaught are also good.
I haven't tried this yet but the really beautiful ( light and airy) courtyard in the Wallace Collection now serves afternoon tea in the recently opened Oliver Peyton restaurant, so it should be good. You can also have tea in the National Dining Rooms (also run by Oliver Peyton) in the National Gallery overlooking Trafalgar Square.

Browns was the first hotel to start offering "afternoon tea". The entire hotel was closed for refurbishment last year and it is indeed very beautifully updated.
The staff are international and although silver-service trained, could do with a bit more polish.
Where Brown's fell down for me was in two areas. Firstly, my mother has a dietary requirement. I notified Browns when booking and they assured me that things would be taken care of. They were not.
Secondly, as a group of 9 ladies we were grouped around a sofa. All other seats were armchairs bar one which was a swivelling backless stool. My friend swopped it for a vacant armchair nearby. 15 minutes later she was asked to revert to the uncomfortable chair (which was also at a much higher level than all the others) so that the empty chair grouping behind us could look nice and stay empty for another half an hour.
For a hotel with Brown's reputation their behaviour was very bad form. Our Annual Ladies' Day group will not be returning.
I can heartily recommend the Savoy as an alternative; they were absolutely top notch on every aspect.
Please consider your dress before going to attend tea, the majority of establishments do have a dress code of sorts. You don't have to wear a blazer, eye patch and medals to get in but it does help!

Tom Hiddleston has 'no idea' about Avengers 2 role
- Bang Showbiz
- 21 December 2012
Tom Hiddleston has "no idea" whether he will reprise his role as villain Loki in 'Avengers 2' and is waiting to hear from director Joss Whedon
Tom Hiddleston has "no idea" whether he will return to 'The Avengers 2'.
The 31-year-old actor - whose villainous character Loki first appeared 2011's 'Thor' - has admitted he is doubtful of reprising the evil character in the upcoming Marvel sequel as he believes fans may get "tired" of seeing the same bad guy.
He revealed to MSN: "I don't know [if I will return]. And that really is the honest answer. I know I've been known for obfuscation in other quarters, but I have no idea.
"I haven't spoken to Joss. He's definitely doing it. So I suspect not, only because I think that probably the audiences are tired of Loki being the bad guy. Maybe the Avengers need somebody else to fight. But I'd love to be part of it again."
The British heartthrob will, however, return as Loki for 'Thor: The Dark World', which is due for release on November 8 2013.
Original 'Avengers Assemble' cast Robert Downey, Jr, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L Jackson are all expected to return for 'Avengers 2', which is scheduled for release in 2015.
Actor Sam Rockwell, who starred alongside Robert in 2010's superhero movie 'Iron Man' as Justin Hammer, has also expressed interest in appearing in the sequel as he thinks it would be a "blast" to act with his friends.
He said: "[Jeremy] Renner's a good friend of mine, and I know [Mark] Ruffalo, I know Scarlett [Johansson]. It would be fun to play with all those guys. That would be a blast."

Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin should replace Pope Benedict as pope writes Catholic commentator and author Michael D'Antonio in the Los Angeles Times.
In an op-ed piece in the influential newspaper, D'Antonio says "The lowest point in the (church) crisis came with Ireland's outraged response to revelations of sexual abuse by priests and the cover-up orchestrated by the hierarchy. In 2011, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny decried "the dysfunction, disconnection, elitism, the narcissism that dominate the culture of the Vatican to this day.""
D'Antonio says only one cleric took the side of the people against the powerful in Ireland's crisis. "Amid the crisis, only one Irish bishop, Diarmuid Martin, approached the angry and the disillusioned with the kind of humility required."
Martin, he says "symbolically washed the feet of abuse victims and noted the futility of a "faith built on a faulty structure," by which he meant the rule of ordained men. "The narrow culture of clericalism has to be eliminated," he declared. "It did not come out of nowhere, and so we have to address its roots from the time of seminary training onwards.""

D'Antonio says Martin is no heretic but a humble priest who now deserves the top job.
"This Martin is no Martin Luther. He supports the morality preached from Rome, including its opposition to abortion. These positions might bother anyone looking for rapid change in the church, but they should reassure the orthodox and make it possible for him to be considered a worthy successor of retiring Pope Benedict XVI. In addition, he's a son of the land that has historically given more priests and nuns to the church, per capita, than any on Earth."
D'Antonio notes that "Ireland supplied the priests and the basic culture of Catholicism in America in the 19th and 20th centuries. For better or worse, it was the Irish style of belief and behavior that predominated, especially in big cities and Catholic schools, including Notre Dame University. More recently, one often finds Irish (or Irish American) priests and nuns doing the tough work of serving the poor and standing up to repressive regimes. For this reason, the radical priest in our imaginations, as well as the renegade sister, typically have Irish names."
D'Antonio says if Martin were chosen it would signal a renewal in the church.
"His choice to replace the caretaker Benedict would bring the possibility of renewal to the church in the West, including former strongholds like Ireland, and signal a recognition that today's crisis won't be resolved with yesterday's perspective."

Occasionally, I question my life and if I really should quit my somewhat okay job to go to law school. I would like to thank today for reminding me that I cannot stand my job and quitting will be glorious when the time comes.
I was feeling the same way yesterday. Working sucks.
But then again, I've never questioned my desire to go back to school. I hate working generally.

The collection of data from one of the most secret parts of the world is a by-product of the search. Extinct volcanoes and undersea depressions nearly a mile deep have been discovered as scientists search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Researchers looking for the Boeing 777 are creating 3-D maps of unexplored areas of the southern Indian Ocean in advance of submersible vehicles which will comb the area next month. The area has been deemed the most likely place to find the plane, after a series of brief electronic communications between MH370 and a satellite, the BBC reports.
"While it is impossible to determine with certainty where the aircraft may have entered the water, all the available data and analysis indicates a highly probable search area close to a long but narrow arc of the southern Indian Ocean," reported the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which is leading the search.

Caesars Entertainment, the parent company of Showboat in Atlantic City, says it would be willing to part with the property and sell it as a casino.
The company announced last month that Showboat will be closings its doors on Aug. 31, resulting in the loss of more than 2,000 jobs. At the time, chairman and CEO Gary Loveman said that while the decision was regrettable, it was a "necessary step to help stabilize our business in Atlantic City and support the viability of our remaining operations in the vicinity."
The Atlantic City locations of Harrah's, Bally's and Caesars are also owned by the company.
On Tuesday, company spokesperson Gary Thompson told NJBIZ that Caesars would indeed be willing to sell Showboat as a casino and that "preliminary inquiries" have already been fielded. Thompson, however, did not know how many or from whom.
According to the state Division of Gaming Enforcement, the 1,329-room casino turned a $34 million profit last year, down by 28 percent from 2012.

Assemblyman Chris Brown (R-Linwood) held a news conference on the boardwalk outside of the casino on Tuesday, putting forth legislation intended to protect casino workers and calling on Caesars to sell the property to help keep it open and retain jobs.
Brown noted that while at the same time planning to close Showboat, Caesars currently has an $880 million proposal on the table to build a new casino in Woodbury, N.Y.
"They're choosing to close a profitable casino while they're choosing to spend $880 million to build a brand new casino in New York, which is competition to us," Brown said.
News of the property's anticipated closure comes at a particularly turbulent time for Atlantic City as another casino, the Atlantic Club, closed its doors at the beginning of the year and the newest casino to the market, Revel, announced last month that it had filed for bankruptcy for a second time.
With a five-year moratorium on casino expansion outside of Atlantic City set to expire near the end of 2015, Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) and Gov. Chris Christie have each noted in the last two weeks that they'd be interested in having a conversation about exploring gaming options elsewhere, including a North Jersey location like the Meadowlands.

PS4 will beat next Xbox, says Paddy Power
Bookies Paddy Power is taking bets on who will win the next generation console war – PS4 or the next Xbox
The firm believes Sony's console will win, putting them at 8/13 to sell more than Microsoft (they're on 6/5).
It's one of Paddy Power's novelty bets, and as we know little about the next Xbox, it's all a bit of a guess. This is the bookmaker that had Far Cry 3 as 66/1 to be Christmas No.1. The game made No.2. If only Ubisoft had sold a few more units, I'd have been minted.
The company is also taking bets on which of the consoles will be the most powerful. Again, Sony has been given the edge at 2/5, with the next Xbox at 7/4.
Paddy Power's spokesperson said: The PlayStation 4 has received plenty of well worn thumbs up from gamers but while Sony currently have the edge it's still all to play for in the console wars."

I've run into this one recently, myself. It comes up when I'm adding InDesign events using the ID host adapter, and it has something to do with attaching the events in an event handler for the CreationComplete event. It happens in both Attach and Debug, and it's intermittent.
For now, the workaround I've found is to attach the event listeners in a function triggered by the ApplicationComplete event (rather than CreationComplete). I have yet to see the error using this approach.
Hope this helps!

#23. minWidth of CSXSWindowedApplication with Creative Suite latest updates. (Confirmed on several different computers and platforms on 23 of Feb, 2011)
It wasn't happening at least a half of the year ago with clean CS installation with no updates.
This is true for Dreamweaver/Flash. This is sometimes true for Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign - I tested it remotely, and cannot tell the exact case when it happens on PS/ID/AI. On Dw/Fl it happens 100%.
When you set minWidth on CSXSWindowedApplication with the latest updates to CS5, the suite will strangerly resize your panel to this minWidth whenever you try to set this.width.
The test case is very simple:
<csxs:CSXSWindowedApplication minWidth="10" applicationComplete="on_creation_complete()" xmlns:csxs="com.adobe.csxs.core.*" xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" historyManagementEnabled="false">
// the following line will scale the panel to its minWidth value instead of 500
this.width = 500;
this.height = 500;
<mx:VBox height="100%" width="100%" verticalAlign="middle" horizontalAlign="center">

Any news regarding the DragNDrop issue #11?
46. Re: CS SDK bugsDBarranca Jun 28, 2012 2:23 PM (in response to Harbs.)
#24. Documentation is not in sync with current CS SDK
Although is not an actual bug, it may be worth mentioning here: there are parts of the official documentation (I'm referring to the one opened by Extension Builder) which suggest CS6-only code that fails/doesn't exist.
Some of them I've bumped into:
CSInterface.instance.launchBrowser("http://www.adobe.com"); // .launchBrowser() method doesn't exist
CSInterface.PhotoshopRegisterEvent() // .PhotoshopRegisterEvent() doesn't exist
ExternalInterface.addCallback("PhotoshopCallback" + CSInterface.getExtensionId(), myPhotoshopCallback); // CSInterface.getExtensionId() doesn't exist
But I suspect there may be others - all pertaining to new CS6 only features.

#25: (Photoshop) Panels lose their entire content (get empty) after user input
This is really weird - it's been tested on Photoshop CS6 (Mac) on extensions made either with Extension Builder 2.0 and Configurator 3. It affects Kuler as well!
To replicate:
1. Set the extension this way:
2. Open it clicking on the button:
3. Click on the >>
4. Voilà!
And there's nothing to do - unless you restart Photoshop.
49. Re: CS SDK bugsDBarranca Jun 30, 2012 1:22 PM (in response to Harbs.)
Confess Harbs, how many support emails like "The panel is empty! Nothing shows! What the heck!"
Could you gently test it on InDesign?
Just curious...!
50. Re: CS SDK bugsHarbs. Jun 30, 2012 1:30 PM (in response to DBarranca)
Too many, but that's usually caused by uncaught errors...
I tried it in ID and it works fine. It's probably a Photoshop-specific bug...

#26. Opening window fails in Photoshop CS6.
I have a very similar issue to #21 in Photoshop CS6; it looks almost the spitting image.
Here is what I've found until now:
- With EB 1.5 it works fine.
- With EB 2.0 + Flex 3.4.0 (as to support CS5 and CS5.5): it works in InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop CS5 and CS5.5. In Photoshop CS6 the problem occurs.
On Mac, I get a hard crash. On Windows, I get some exceptions being thrown (pretty much identical as seen with bug #21 in DreamWeaver), so I was able to get some more info from that.
As far as I can tell, the issue is that Photoshop CS6 fails to properly create a new NativeWindow. The call var nw: NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(nativeWindowOptions); returns a NativeWindow structure where the closed attribute is set to true - i.e. immediately upon creation the native window is already closed, and hence unusable.
Wrapped inside the Window.open() method, there is a call to new NativeWindow(...), which fails, and as a result all the rest of the code becomes very unhappy, and throws exceptions Error: Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window.
When I poke inside the newly created NativeWindow, there seems to be a lot of rubbish (in addition to it having closed == true); the window geometry information is off the charts.
To see the issue, simply create a new dummy extension project in EB 2.0. Target applications and version: 'Creative Suite 5 and higher', 'Photoshop'.
In the sample run() function for the sample button, add the following code:
var nwo: NativeWindowInitOptions = new NativeWindowInitOptions();
var nw: NativeWindow = new NativeWindow(nwo);
Make your debugger stop after the nw is created. Inspect the contents of nw - you'll see closed: true.
I tried various things with the NativeWindowInitOptions (e.g. setting an owner and so on) but had no luck.
52. Re: CS SDK bugsPhotoSì Jan 31, 2013 6:47 AM (in response to RorohikoKris)
#26. Opening window fails in Photoshop CS6.
I have a similar issue too.
I have a plugin made with EB 1.5 for photoshop CS5 and CS5.5 than uses
Window.open() method.
On Mac with Photoshop CS6 stopped to work after upgrade to version 13.0.4, so I tryed to upgrade to EB 22.214.171.124 but I can't manage to open windows in any way, it doesn't works with mx:Windows and s:Windows.
What can be changed in this Photoshop update about this problem?
53. Re: CS SDK bugsABergman22 Feb 5, 2013 5:26 AM (in response to PhotoSì)
#26. Opening window fails in Photoshop CS6.
I have the same problem. Customers are starting to update PS from 13.0.1/3 to 13.0.4 and the plug-in becomes unusable. PS crashes when a window opened in the extension.
This bug can be verified with the CSXSWindows sample in Extension Builder 2.0
54. Re: CS SDK bugslesavage Feb 25, 2013 3:16 PM (in response to ABergman22)
Hi Anders,
If you specify the following values for the Window does it resolve the issue?
minHeight, maxHeight, minWidth and maxWidth
Kind regards,
55. Re: CS SDK bugsbrianreavis Mar 1, 2013 2:35 PM (in response to lesavage)
I'm having the same issue and just tried setting minWidth, maxWidth, minHeight, maxHeight before calling open()... Photoshop still crashes.

56. Re: CS SDK bugsbrianreavis Apr 17, 2013 6:34 PM (in response to Harbs.)
Creating a flyout menu item labeled "Support..." will appear as "Support".
var panelMenu:XML = <Menu />; panelMenu.appendChild(<MenuItem Label="Support..." Id="support" />); CSXSInterface.getInstance().setPanelMenu(panelMenu);
Is this some botched internationalization issue? For kicks, if you create an item as "SSupport...", it will maintain the ellipsis.
57. Re: CS SDK bugsHarbs. Apr 18, 2013 1:05 AM (in response to brianreavis)
Did you use three dots or an ellipsis character?

Three dots (as shown in the example). Using any other string in front of the dots causes the strange behavior to not to happen.
59. Re: CS SDK bugs_VG Jan 30, 2014 12:05 AM (in response to brianreavis)
Hi All,
I have created a simple extension for InDesign CS6 using Flash Builder 4.6 and Extension Builder 2.1. The panel has a button. I open the panel from the menu and it opens fine. Now I close InDesign and restart InDesign. I see that the panel is loaded but the button is not there. When I do some action like move the panel or open a new document, the button appears on the panel. Why the button doesn't appear on the panel on restarting InDesign?
Is this a known bug?
Is there any workaround or fix?
Thanks in advance,

Being a part of a caring community of Christ followers
At Carmel Baptist we believe that involvement in a small group Bible study and connecting with other believers is critical to one's spiritual growth. This is why we encourage everyone to find their place in a Discipleship Community. It's also the reason why we provide meaningful and practical Bible Study for all ages — from infants to senior adults.
Discipleship Communities for all ages meet at 9:30 and 11:00 am. For a list of Communities, click here.
How do I get started?
Stop by a Welcome Desk near any main entrance where a greeter will help everyone in your family find their place.
All of our Discipleship Communities are open to new people every week.
Adults in similar life stages form the basis of our adult Discipleship Communities. A listing can be found here.
Parents of preschoolers will find age appropriate facilities and teaching 'Downtown' at Carmel. Elementary aged children are welcomed in the 'Uptown' area. Students find their space in the Gym.
What are the goals of the Discipleship Community Ministry?
We sum it up in three words: REACHING, TEACHING and CARING. All of our communities are organized to reach people for life-changing Bible Study, to teach the Bible clearly and accurately, and to care for each other.
Is this the place to get to know people?
Yes! Carmel is a large church, so new people often ask, "How do I get to know other people?" Our answer is, "a Discipleship Community." These communities are small group fellowships organized to minister to their members. It is the place to make new friends and find spiritual and personal support for everyday life.
What do you study in the communities?
All of our classes study the Bible.
Preschoolers (birth-kindergarten) learn by listening to a brief Bible story and by singing, doing crafts and other fun exercises that help the simple truth sink in. Learn more about our Preschool Ministry here.
Elementary-aged children learn through a combination of a large group teaching time and small group activities. Learn more about CarmelKidz (our Elementary-aged ministry) here.
Middle school and high school students also learn by a combination of large group and small group time. Learn more about our Student Ministry here.
The Bible lessons for your children are easy to follow and relevant to everyday life. Adults use a variety of curricula with the primary goal of accelerated spiritual development for all learners. No matter how much you know about the Bible, you'll find your place in a Discipleship Community.

CRESTVIEW � If the Okaloosa School District applies for funding for a recently announced transportation initiative, Antioch Elementary School students won't scramble through scrub, weeds and roadside debris to reach the Antioch Road crossing guard.
CRESTVIEW � If the Okaloosa School District applies for funding for a recently announced transportation initiative, Antioch Elementary School students won't scramble through scrub, weeds and roadside debris to reach the Antioch Road crossing guard.
Florida-Alabama and Okaloosa-Walton Transportation Planning Organization members met March 21 in Crestview to learn about the state Transportation Alternatives Program, or TAP, a component of the federal Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century, or MAP-21, initiative.
County and local officials, including Okaloosa School District Facilities Director Bill Smith, also attended the presentation by Mary Robinson of the Bay County TPO and Tori Wilson, the Florida Department of Transportation�s TAP administrator.
The two-year, $52 billion MAP-21 consolidates Transportation Enhancements, Recreational Trails and Safe Routes to School programs under the Transportation Alternatives Program.
Any projects proposed for funding under TAP must be submitted to the local TPO for approval before application is made to the transportation department.
While road widening � including constructing the much-hoped-for P.J. Adams Parkway and Antioch Road corridor � is not eligible for funding, sidewalks, bicycle infrastructure, lighting and safety infrastructure, and "traffic calming techniques" are allowed, according to materials distributed by Wilson at the workshop.
Safe route to Antioch
The Safe Routes to School program covers public and private schools� kindergarten through high school students. Though the local school board must provide infrastructure on school property, TAP money could fund projects within a two-mile radius of a school that are designed for "helping children to safely walk to and from school," Wilson said.
Of three Okaloosa County projects vying for TAP funding, only Antioch Road is in the county�s north end. That means Antioch Elementary is the only school currently eligible to apply for Safe Route to School funds, though any other school could seek funding for projects under the program.
If the school pursues a sidewalk project, it would be up to the county � which would maintain the sidewalks � to collaborate with the school district and have them constructed.
"It's not the responsibility of the school board to build sidewalks," Smith said. "It's the responsibility of the municipality. If you're going to do it, you have to make sure you get 100 percent of the money back and you're clear," or auditors will "rip you" for using school funds off of school property.
Robinson said she would like to see local governments applying for more TAP funds.
"Quite honestly, Okaloosa-Walton probably needs to get some enhancement and Safe Route to School projects moving along," she said.

Tom Lees will travel to the UEFA Under-21 European Championships after Stuart Pearce named the Leeds United defender in his 23-man squad.
Lees made his debut for the Young Lions in September last year and will join the squad for a week-long training camp in Turkey ahead of the tournament in Israel.
The Whites starlet has explained the benefits of being part of the international set up.
He told the official club website: "Playing with the Under-21s broadens your skills and your experience.
"You know all the players at your club, you know what they do in training and it's good to go away and mix with different players."
The Elland Road academy graduate will be hoping to add to the five caps he's earned for his country, the latest of which came against Austria in March.
Lees added: "I didn't represent England when I was younger, I came straight into the Under-21s and maybe you relish the opportunity more because I haven't done it as a young player."
Joining Lees in Stuart Pearce's squad is Tottenham defender and former Leeds Academy graduate Danny Rose, who has this season enjoyed a successful loan spell at relegation-threatened Sunderland in the Premier League.
Pearce will want his men to improve on their 2011 showing, where they failed to qualify from the group stage despite drawing with eventual champions Spain.

Ridgway Major League All-Stars host DuBois
The Ridgway baseball major league division all-stars hosted DuBois in its first District 10 Little League tournament game as DuBois won 20-2 in four innings over Ridgway at the Ridgway Little League fields along Grant Road. DuBois left little doubt in the outcome after a 14-run first inning. Center fielder Kolby Ho and second baseman Mitchell Ferra walked to start the game. First baseman Daron Walker singled to load the bases and shortstop Peter Foradora walked to plate Ho for the game's first run. Starting pitcher Thomas Grecco singled to score Ferra and right fielder Dalton Conrad walked which plated Walker. Third baseman Nick Cotter then roped a 2-run singled which scored Foradora and pinch runner Robbie Martini. Left fielder Mason Brittion then reached on an error which scored Conrad. Cotter later scored on a wild pitch. After Ferra walked in his second plate appearance of the inning, Britton scored on a wild pitch. Walker reached on a Ridgway error and Foradora singled. Ferra later scored on a wild pitch. Grecco singled home Walker for a 9-0 DuBois lead. Cotter and catcher Jack Mohney would each have RBI singles as DuBois would stretch the lead to 14-0 after the top of the first. Grecco was dominant on the mound for DuBois, throwing two perfect innings and recording five strikeouts in the process. Zach Thompson and Cotter had RBI singles in the second inning while Mohney drove two runs around with a single.

ABC renewed four reality series Friday, ordering additional seasons of "Dancing With the Stars," "The Bachelor," "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "Shark Tank."
None of the renewals comes as a particular surprise. "Dancing With the Stars" will be back for a 19th season. Though it skews old and has seen its ratings dim in recent cycles, prompting ABC to reduce it to just one episode a week last year, the competition series remains a reliable performer for the network on Monday nights. Its most recent episode brought in 13.1 million viewers, and in terms of overall audience it regularly outperforms other non-scripted shows like Fox's "American Idol" and NBC's "The Voice."
Another reality stalwart, "The Bachelor," has earned another rose and will be returning for a 19th season. Though its most recent star, Juan Pablo Galvais, was anything but popular with fans, the series remains a hit with ABC's target female demographic, with the most recent season finale reeling in 11 million viewers.
The long-running clip show "America's Funniest Home Videos," hosted by Tom Bergeron, will be back for a 25th season. Returning for a sixth season is "Shark Tank," whose renewal was a guarantee. The business-themed reality competition continues to bring its ratings bite for the network. Its most recent episode brought in 5.84 million viewers in its 8 p.m. Friday slot, winning the hour with a 1.5 rating in the advertiser-prized 18-49 demographic.
The shows join previously announced returning series "Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy," "The Middle," "Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," "Resurrection, "Once Upon a Time," "Revenge," "Castle," "The Goldbergs" and "Modern Family."

GERMANTOWN HILLS — An effort by some residents to improve personal hygiene is causing a public mess in Germantown Hills.
Public Works Director Rich Brecklin said personal sanitary wipes being flushed down village commodes are clogging up pumps and often causing costly repairs.
While the effectiveness of toilet paper is debatable, the tissue does very well what it was designed to — break down in sewer systems. Its high-tech towelette counterpart, however, does not, and wipes woven from a different cloth are easy to identify.
"If you look at these disposable wipes — some say disposable, some say flushable — if you notice, they're thicker. They're woven tighter, and they're already wet and not falling apart," Brecklin said. "They don't go away. They may make it down to the sewer plant on a gravity system, and then you've got problems at the plant."
Brecklin said the village doesn't care how residents conduct their business but cares that those materials are disposed of properly. And consumers should pay heed to the notice on their utility bills warning against the wipes rather than trusting manufacturer labels.
"We don't tell people don't use them, but we just don't want them flushed down into our system," Brecklin said. "Some of them do say 'flushable' — they're not flushable. They're not flushable in a gravity system; they're not flushable in a septic system; and they are especially not flushable in ejection pumps or grinder pump systems."
The consequences are consuming and costly for public works crews, whether they are being called out in the middle of the night when an alarm sounds in someone's home when their grinder pump gets clogged or they have to contract services for maintenance on the larger lift pumps.
It could get messy, too.
"If these pumps fail and the people don't recognize that their alarm is going on in their house and they continue to use water, it can back up in their home," Brecklin said.
Todd Huson, an engineer with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency in the Bureau of Water, said clogs caused by non-flushable wipes have plagued many sewer treatment plants in the 14 counties in central Illinois they oversee.
Most don't have the number of grinder and lift pumps used in Germantown Hills, where the village's topography merited a certain sewage system.
Huson said the wipe clogs are an issue that makes maintenance more difficult for the village but doesn't necessarily merit an environmental risk. The clogs mean more work for crews to prevent overflows and backups.
"I don't necessarily think it's a big problem, it's more of a maintenance issue with operating and maintaining the residential lift stations," Huson said. "They don't want these to fail."

Windows Phone users in the UK may be close to getting their hands on the Nokia Lumia 1020 with it's stunning 41MP PureView camera. We've been tipped that the Lumia 1020 has popped up in Carphone Warehouse's inventory.
The inventory screen that was sent to Windows Phone Central doesn't display any pricing information but does list the Lumia 1020 in the black, white, and yellow varieties.
Carphone Warehouse already has the Lumia 1020 listed on their website to allow customers to register their interest in the Windows Phone and notes availability being sometime around September 2013. With the Lumia 1020 showing up with inventory codes, could we see the 1020 become available sooner?
Thanks, anonymous, for the tip!


text: Chromosomal abnormalities play a central role in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment monitoring of many hematologic disorders. Cytogenetic studies on bone marrow may be helpful in many malignant hematologic disorders as the observation of a chromosomally abnormal clone may be consistent with a neoplastic process. Certain chromosome abnormalities may help classify a malignancy. As examples, the Philadelphia (Ph) chromosome, also referred to as der(22)t(9;22)(q34;q11.2), is usually indicative of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) or acute leukemia; t(8;21)(q22;q22) defines a specific subset of patients with acute myeloid leukemia; and t(8;14)(q24.1;q32) is associated with Burkitt lymphoma. Cytogenetic studies are also used to monitor patients with hematologic neoplasia and may identify disease progression, such as the onset of blast crisis in CML, which is often characterized by trisomy 8, isochromosome 17q, and multiple Ph chromosomes. Conventional chromosome studies of B-cell disorders are not always successful because B lymphocytes do not proliferate well in cell culture. The agent CpG 7909 (CpG) is a synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide that binds to the Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) present on B cells, causing B-cell activation. In the laboratory setting, CpG may be used as a mitogen to stimulate B cells in patient specimens, thus allowing identification of chromosome abnormalities. CpG stimulation reveals an abnormal karyotype in approximately 80% of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, and the karyotype is complex in 20% to 25% of cases. Several studies have reported that increased genetic complexity revealed by CpG-stimulated chromosome studies confers a less favorable time to first treatment, treatment response, and overall survival.

Dr. Brian L. Davis
Title: Director of Research, Professor
Dept/Program: Biomedical Engineering
Office: Auburn Science & Engineering Center 209E
Phone: 330-972-6977
Fax: 330-972-3939
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Brian Davis holds both a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, and a master's degree in Medicine (Biomedical Engineering) from the University of Cape Town (South Africa), and a Ph.D. from Penn State University. He had a staff-level appointment at the Cleveland Clinic from 1992 to 2010.
In terms of medical devices, Dr. Davis has led a number of initiatives focused on rehabilitation technology and instrumentation for assessing a patient's risk for diabetic foot ulceration. He is currently the Principal Investigator on a State-funded project aimed at commercializing sensors for diagnosing connective tissue disorders. He is also leading an educational program named "BEST Medicine" that encourages middle and high school students to develop interests in engineering, science and technology, particularly as these relate to designing novel medical devices. Dr. Davis is a member of a number of professional societies, including the International Society of Biomechanics – a society for which he served as President from 2005 to 2007.
Research Accomplishments
During his time at the Cleveland Clinic he was the first investigator to receive a peer-reviewed grant from NASA headquarters on the topic of foot biomechanics in response to impact loading (1996-1998), the first investigator to obtain funding from the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and the first to obtain a four year grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He subsequently received funding to develop and test an exercise countermeasure device for astronaut use and was part of a team that developed biomechanical sensor instrumentation that is currently on the International Space Station.
Over the past 18 years, Dr. Davis has served as Principal Investigator and secured external peer-reviewed funding in excess of $25,000,000.
Research Interests
Diabetic Foot Ulceration: The importance of mechanical factors such as pressure and frictional forces has been established as key in the etiology of diabetic foot ulcers. The rationale behind our research is that by quantifying localized skin loads and obtaining noninvasive measurements of tissue properties, factors leading to diabetic skin ulceration will be more fully understood. Diabetic foot research in our laboratory includes development of (i) a device for simultaneous measurement of pressure and shear forces under the feet of patients; (ii) software algorithms for visualizing and interpreting shear and pressure data.
Prosthetic sockets and liners: Improve transfemoral prosthetic comfort by optimizing the thermal properties of the liner and socket polymer components. Our group has funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for the development of new materials.
An additional interest and active area of research relates to biomedical sensors. Our group has funding from the Wright Center for Sensors and Systems Engineering to develop five different sensors --- all related to assessing connective tissue disorders.

13 April 2012, Geneva, Switzerland - The Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System (GDACS) reached another milestone today as the second generation of its Satellite Mapping Coordination System (SMCS) was officially launched.
GDACS is a cooperation framework for natural disaster alerts operating under the umbrella of the United Nations. It includes disaster managers and disaster information systems worldwide and aims at coordination information and filling gaps in the first phases after a major disaster. To so this, GDACS provides real-time access to web-based disaster information systems and useful coordination tools.
The Satellite Mapping Coordination System, or SMCS, of GDACS is a tool for GIS-experts working with satellite imagery for specific events. It allows experts to see which images are collected where and which entity is working on what type of analysis. This facilitates a horizontal coordination links as opposed to time consuming top-down models and effectively reduces duplication of efforts and the pushing of low value maps to the use community. In addition to being an operational coordination tool for satellite image analysis professionals, SMCS is also a metadata archive for past events, and a discussion forum.
GDACS SMCS has been developed by UNOSAT in consultation with the GDACS community of users and responders, and various GIS-experts. "The increased interest in the SMCS over the last years clearly points to the need, as well as the will, to ensure improved coordination among satellite mapping entities. This second generation of the SMCS integrates the excellent feedback from many users and stakeholders, for which we are most grateful", said Einar Bjorgo of UNOSAT.
The SMCS is the agreed platform for coordinating satellite imagery mapping for the benefit of GDACS stakeholders and the wider community, including affected countries, early responders, NGOs, international organizations, the Red Cross and Red Crescent family and the United Nations. Currently, the GDACS Steering Committee is Chaired by the European Commission Monitoring and Information Centre in DG Humanitarian Aid & Civil Protection.

Admission Application for admission to the School of
Continuing and Professional Studies courses and programs should be made
at the center or program office where the student plans to study, or at the
School of Continuing and Professional Studies main office in Zehmer Hall,
on-Grounds in Charlottesville.
Academic Grievances Students who have a grievance related
to a course, with a faculty member, or continuing and professional studies center,
or program office director, are invited to discuss their grievance in the following
Academic Progress Students should consult the policies
for satisfactory progress from the school offering the program in which they
are enrolled. Generally, a grade of B- is considered the lowest satisfactory
grade for graduate credit leading to a degree. Students with a grade-point average
below 3.0 are not considered to be making satisfactory progress.
Add/Drop The dates by which students may add or drop
a course are established each academic year by the School of Continuing and
Professional Studies centers and program offices. These dates may differ
by center. Students should consult their centers catalogs and program
brochures to determine the deadlines for adding or dropping courses. After the
last date for dropping a course, students must officially withdraw if they want
to end their enrollment in a course.
Application of Courses to Degree Programs With the approval
of the students school of enrollment, a course taken through the School
of Continuing and Professional Studies may be counted toward degree requirements.
These courses would typically be included in the computation of grade point
averages. Approval is required in advance; otherwise such courses will not
apply toward a degree.
Attendance Instructors establish attendance and participation
requirements for each of their courses. Such course requirements as examinations,
oral presentations, laboratory experiments, participation in class discussion,
etc., are in no sense waived because of a students absence from class.
Instructors may establish penalties when absences seriously hinder achievement
in any course.
Auditors Students who wish to enroll in credit courses
without receiving academic course credit may do so on a space available basis,
with the permission of the instructor and center or program office director,
by registering as auditors and paying the same tuition and fees as are paid
by credit students. Credit or audit status must be indicated at the time of
registration. Admission requirements are the same for auditors as for credit
students. An AU (audit) cannot be changed to a letter grade. Auditing a class
does not relieve the student of the responsibility for meeting the standards
which the instructor has established for the course.
Continuing Education Unit Many noncredit activities
are designated as Continuing Education Unit (CEU) programs. One CEU is defined
as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized educational experience
under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction.
The university registrar permanently records successful participation
in programs that have been authorized to award CEUs. Individuals may request
a copy of their record from the Office of the University Registrar, University
of Virginia, P.O. Box 400203, Charlottesville, VA 22904-4203.
Course Load Each school at the University has established
a minimum and maximum number of credits for which students are normally expected
to register. Registration for fewer credits than the minimum or more credits
than the maximum requires special permission from the appropriate deans
office. Students who register for fewer than their schools minimum number
of credits have a notation placed on their academic records indicating that
they were enrolled for a reduced course load during that semester.
Special permission is required for students to enroll through
the School of Continuing and Professional Studies for more than 12 credits per
Grades At the graduate level, each school determines
its own grading system. Graduate courses that are part of a degree program follow
the grading system of the school awarding the degree.
In addition to its own graduate-level professional development
and certificate program courses, the School of Continuing and Professional Studies
offers graduate courses from other schools of the University. Although offered
through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, these courses follow
the grading system of their associated schools, as outlined in each schools
chapter of the Graduate Record. Courses carrying a School of Continuing
and Professional Studies mnemonic use the following grading system: A+, A, A-;
B+, B, B-; C+, C, C-; D+, D, D-; F. The lowest grade that can apply to a degree
is B-.
For noncredit courses, grade notations are S/U (satisfactory/unsatisfactory).
Students who audit courses receive the designation AU (audit). The symbol W
is used when a student officially withdraws from a course before its completion.
Credit/No Credit Students enrolled in graduate degree
programs should consult with the dean of their school before selecting the credit/no
credit (CR/NC) grading option since restrictions may apply. Students enrolled
in courses for professional development may select the CR/NC option. Courses
taken with this grading option may not be transferred into a degree program.
The use of CR/NC in certificate programs is governed by the academic policies
of the individual program.
Grade Changes No grade for a course may be changed after
it has been submitted to the university registrar without the approval of the
dean of the school offering the course. That dean is authorized to change a
grade submitted to the university registrar when the course instructor certifies
in writing that, because of an error in calculation or transcription, an incorrect
grade had been previously submitted.
Incomplete Circumstances beyond a students control
sometimes arise that necessitate requesting an IN (incomplete) from the instructor.
IN indicates that the grade for the course is being withheld until the student
completes all course requirements. The student must initiate the request for
an IN, and the instructor must agree. The student must complete and submit all
course work to the instructor by the end of the semester following the term
in which the IN was received, at which time the instructor replaces the IN with
a grade. An incomplete that is not removed by the conclusion of the next semester
will be converted to a grade of F (failure). Only course instructors may remove
incompletes. Students with an incomplete pending are not awarded a degree or
Students who receive an IN (incomplete) or an F (failure) in
any course cannot enroll in another course unless the Dean of the School of
Continuing and Professional Studies grants permission.
No Grade On occasion, an instructor assigns an
NG (no grade) to a student at the conclusion of a course. Unless the student
eliminates the conditions that resulted in the NG by the conclusion of the next
consecutive semester, it is automatically converted to a grade of F (failure).
No student with an NG pending is eligible to receive a degree or certificate.
Honor System The Honor System is one of the Universitys
oldest and most venerated traditions. Based on the fundamental assumption that
anyone who enrolls at the University subscribes to a code of ethics forbidding
lying, cheating, and stealing, the Honor System allows students the kind of
personal freedom possible only in an environment where respect and trust are
assumed. For nearly 160 years, students have administered this system at the
Although the Honor System applies to students enrolled off-Grounds,
in courses and programs through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies,
as it does to students on-Grounds, some procedures for administration of the
system to continuing and professional studies students differ from those governing
on-Grounds full time students. Off-Grounds students may consult with the School
of Continuing and Professional Studies regional center in their area for a copy
of the Honor Committee bylaws.
Leave of Absence Graduate students enrolled in
professional development or degree programs offered by the School of Continuing
and Professional Studies may voluntarily request a leave of absence from the
University at the end of any semester for up to three semesters. Students
should recognize, however, that taking a voluntary leave of absence does not
alter time limitations for the completion of their degree. Students who
wish to take leave for longer than three semesters must provide written notification
to the director of the center or program office in which they are enrolled.
If students do not notify the director in writing and do not re-enroll for three
semesters, they will be required to reapply for admission to the program.
Repeated Courses Students may repeat courses for credit
only after receiving the permission of their deans office. The grade initially
earned in the course appears on the official academic record and counts in the
calculation of the grade point average. Regulations applying to repeated courses
may vary by school and are detailed in each schools chapter of this Record.
Suspended Students Individuals who have been suspended
from the University of Virginia or from any other college or university are
not eligible to enroll through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies
as long as the suspension remains in force.
Teacher Relicensure Teachers and school administrators
who wish to take courses or professional development offerings for relicensure
may register without submitting academic transcripts. Individuals seeking relicensure
are responsible for determining the acceptability of such courses or professional
development programs by consulting with their school/division superintendent
or the Virginia Department of Education.
Transcripts The university registrar records the credit
for University courses taught at the School of Continuing and Professional Studies
centers. Transcripts are available from the Office of the University Registrar
in Carruthers Hall.
Transfer of Credit Students wishing to transfer credit
from the School of Continuing and Professional Studies to another educational
institution should consult that institution as to the acceptability of the courses
and their credit prior to registering with the School of Continuing and Professional
Students interested in transferring courses into an SCPS credit
certificate program are generally allowed to transfer a maximum of six credits.
Course work must not be older than eight years, have been completed at an accredited
college or university, and the student must have earned at least a "C"
in the courses. Transfer credit determinations are made by the individual centers.
Courses for which transfer credit has been awarded will not appear on the students
transcript until the completion of the certificate program. No transfer credit
is allowed in the certificates of Technology Leadership, Information Technology,
and E-Commerce.
Withdrawal Students enrolled in a graduate degree program
should refer to the withdrawal policy of the school awarding the degree.
Students enrolled in graduate courses for professional development, certificate
programs, or as community scholars may withdraw under the following conditions:

The Baltimore housing department received a $2.9 million federal grant Friday to clean up poisonous lead paint found in the walls of thousands of city buildings.
Baltimore will receive $2.9 million from the federal government to fix lead-paint hazards in more than 200 homes, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development announced Friday — a vote of confidence in the city's efforts to resolve past problems with its abatement program.
"It's a tremendous boost to our work in protecting children from lead-paint poisoning," said Ken Strong, an assistant city housing commissioner who began overseeing the program last year after Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake moved it from the health department to the housing agency.
The grant re-energizes Baltimore's efforts to cut lead-paint dangers in homes after the city lost out on a similar grant from Washington over a year ago. Federal officials found that the city had failed to fix up enough homes under an earlier $4 million grant, making the city ineligible for more funds.
Since then Baltimore's housing agency has worked closely with federal officials and conducted a national search to hire a manager for its lead-paint program, according to Strong.
"I have to give them really good credit for steps they've taken, and I think the [federal] funding reflects that," said Ruth Ann Norton, executive director of the Coalition to End Childhood Lead Poisoning, a Baltimore-based nonprofit group that will help the housing agency carry out the grant.
With city and state matching funds, Strong said the agency will have $5 million over three years to do work such as repairing walls and windows that have peeling or flaking lead paint.
"These funds will help us to continue to provide comprehensive services to families with few options," Rawlings-Blake said in a statement. "HUD's support enables the agency to reach a greater number of families and protect more children."
The number of young children reported poisoned by lead in Maryland has dropped 98 percent since the mid-1990s. Even so, in 2010 more than 500 youngsters statewide had harmful levels of the toxic metal in their blood, putting them at risk for lifelong behavioral, learning and other health problems.
The grant money will be used to repair private homes in predominantly low-income areas of Baltimore. The city will target homes with children who have tested positive for dangerously high lead levels, as defined by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Strong said the city also plans to focus on homes with children whose blood has tested positive for lead but with readings below the CDC's "level of concern."
"We want to reach out to work with those families to curb the level at the lowest level we can," he said. In addition to fixing lead-paint hazards, the housing department will team with health officials and Norton's nonprofit group to educate households on the dangers of lead paint.
The grant money will also be used in a third category of homes: those that don't have any lead-poisoned children but do have pregnant women and very young children who could be harmed by exposure to lead dust or paint chips.
The grant award comes as Maryland lawmakers grapple with lead-paint issues, including whether and how to help private landlords facing lead-poisoning lawsuits from former tenants. Some property owners say rental units could be shuttered after a recent Court of Appeals ruling lifted a long-standing cap on damages for poisoning victims.
Baltimore's public housing agency, meanwhile, has come under renewed criticism from legislators over its failure to pay court-ordered monetary awards to former public housing residents who suffered lead-paint poisoning as children.
Baltimore Sun reporter Scott Dance contributed to this article.

TORONTO, Jan. 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intellipharmaceutics International Inc. (Nasdaq:IPCI) (TSX:I), a pharmaceutical company specializing in the research, development and manufacture of novel and generic controlled-release and targeted-release oral solid dosage drugs, today announced that it has closed its previously-announced private placement financing (the "Financing") of US$1.5 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured convertible debentures (the "Debentures"), which will mature January 1, 2015.
The Debentures bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum, payable monthly, are pre-payable at any time at the option of the Company, and are convertible at any time into common shares at a conversion price of US$3.00 per common share at the option of the holder. The Financing was non-brokered and the net proceeds are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Debentures are not listed on any market. If the Debentures are fully converted into common shares of the Company, the shares would represent approximately 2.8% of the Company's currently issued common shares on a non-diluted basis.
Dr. Isa Odidi, CEO and Co-Founder, and Dr. Amina Odidi, COO and Co-Founder, of the Company and who directly and through their family holding company are its largest shareholders, owning approximately 33.5% of its currently issued shares on a non-diluted basis, provided the Company with the US$1.5 million of the proceeds for the Debentures. The participation of the Odidis, as related parties, in the Debenture transaction was approved by the directors of the Company who are independent of such related parties.
