U.S. Leads World in Wind Power Production
August 14, 2008
The United States now leads the world in the amount of electricity it generates from wind energy, according to the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA). The trade group's second-quarter market report, released on August 5, finds that the wind industry installed a total of 1,194 megawatts (MW) in the second quarter, bringing the total installed U.S. wind capacity to 19,549 MW. While that still lags behind the roughly 23,000 MW installed in Germany, the stronger winds in the United States are yielding greater power production despite the smaller generating capacity. According to AWEA, U.S. wind power capacity is on track to increase by more than 45% this year, but the upcoming expiration of the federal production tax credit at the end of this year is threatening to slow this progress. The trade group also notes that over the past year and a half, at least 41 manufacturing facilities to support the wind industry have been announced, opened, or expanded in the United States, and those new and expanded facilities will create more than 9,000 jobs when they reach their full capacity. See the press release and the full quarterly report (PDF 234 KB). Download Adobe Reader.
Despite the looming loss of tax credits, wind power developers have unveiled a number of large, ambitious wind projects in recent weeks. The leader is definitely a 5,050-MW wind project in South Dakota, which is being pursued by Clipper Windpower Plc and BP Alternative Energy under a joint venture agreement. Previously dubbed "Rolling Thunder," and now called the Titan wind project, the project will be developed in multiple phases using Clipper's 2.5-MW wind turbine. If completed as currently planned, it will be the world's largest wind power plant. Meanwhile, the Oregon Energy Facility Siting Council has approved a 909-MW wind facility that may hold the title of world's largest wind project for at least a short while. The Shepherds Flat Wind Farm is being developed by Caithness Shepherds Flat, LLC, and will be located in north-central Oregon, just south of the Columbia River in Gilliam County. According to DOE's Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), construction of the facility is slated to begin next summer, with full operation starting in 2010. BPA is building an addition to an existing substation to accommodate the new wind plant. See the press releases from Clipper Windpower and the Oregon Department of Energy, and see the Shepherds Flat Wind Interconnection page on the BPA Transmission Web site.
While large utility-scale wind turbines capture most of the attention in the United States, small wind turbines designed for homes and businesses are also growing in popularity. According to a report released by AWEA in mid-July, the U.S. small wind turbine market grew by 14% in 2007, adding 9.7 MW of new wind power capacity. Defined as wind turbines with capacities of 100 kilowatts or less, and including turbines smaller than 1 kilowatt in capacity, the small wind power market currently lacks federal incentives, although some states offer incentives. Despite that handicap, more than 9,000 small wind turbines worth more than $42 million were installed in the United States in 2007, increasing the nation's total generating capacity from small wind turbines to roughly 60 MW. About 50 companies either manufacture or plan to manufacture small wind turbines in the United States. See the AWEA press release and the Small Wind Market Report (PDF 381 KB).

Djokovic Claims Australian Open Hat-Trick
MELBOURNE, Australia—World No. 1 Novak Djokovic became the first man to win three straight Australian Open titles in the Open Era, defeating Andy Murray 6-7(2), 7-6(3), 6-3, 6-2 in three hours and 40 minutes on Sunday.
The 25-year-old Serb joined the ranks of Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg and Roger Federer with his fourth Australian Open title. With six majors, Djokovic now trails active players Rafael Nadal and Federer by five and 11, respectively, but he is creeping within reach of John McEnroe's and Mats Wilander's seven, as well as Agassi, Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl's eight.
Djokovic said the Australian Open was his favorite of the four Grand Slam tournaments—not to mention his most successful. "I love this court," he said.
The match wasn't as long as others at the Australian Open, but the first two sets were just as grueling. For the first time in a major since 2000, neither player broke serve for the first two sets, though Djokovic had five chances in the first and Murray three in the second. In the second set alone, Murray served three double faults, including one in the tiebreaker—more than he'd double-faulted during the six wins that got him to the final.
The service-hold stalemate continued until 4-3 in the third set, when Djokovic converted his third break-point opportunity, as a Murray forehand flirted with the net before dropping back onto his side. Djokovic held serve again to clinch a two-sets-to-one lead before dominating the fourth and final set.
Djokovic said he tried to be more aggressive in going for his shots, especially in the third and fourth sets. In fact, he charged the net 41 times compared with Murray's 15. "I needed to be the one who dictates the play," Djokovic said.
With the win, Djokovic improved his record against Murray to 11-7. It was the third time that Murray, the reigning Olympic and U.S. Open champion, came up short in a final here. In 2010 and 2011, against Federer and Djokovic, he didn't win a set. "When we play each other, we push each other to the limit," Djokovic said.
Djokovic's latest Australian title marked the first time since Wimbledon in 1997 that the top seeds in men's and women's singles and doubles claimed their titles. It was also a reminder of how far Djokovic has come since lagging behind Federer and Nadal at the beginning of his career. "He's become so much more mentally tough than he used to be," two-time Australian Open winner Jim Courier said.
Despite the loss, Murray was upbeat about his performance in Australia, which included his first five-set victory over Federer at a major. "No one's ever won a slam, the immediate one after winning their first one—it's not the easiest thing to do, and I got extremely close," he said. "I think I'm going the right direction."
Thirty-three of the last 35 majors now have been won by either Djokovic, Nadal, Federer or Murray. But Djokovic said he still believes it is possible for other players to break their dominance, particularly those already in the top 15. Djokovic himself needed five sets to get past Stanislas Wawrinka in the fourth round. "I never want to underestimate the rest of the field," he said.
And now Djokovic, who will compete in next weekend's Davis Cup between Serbia and Belgium, is already eyeing the one major he has never won: the French Open. "If I continue on playing well [and] stay healthy," he said, "I can have a chance."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Morgan Stanley will pay a total of $557 million in cash and other assistance to troubled borrowers to end a case-by-case review of past foreclosures required by U.S. regulators.
The U.S. Federal Reserve said on Wednesday that the two banks will pay $232 million to eligible borrowers and $325 million in loan modifications and forgiveness.
The agreement is similar to the $8.5 billion deal reached between the Fed, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and 10 other bank servicers on January 7.
The deals help the financial industry move a step closer to ending the housing crisis-related problems that have dogged it for years.
Morgan Stanley's portion of the settlement is $227 million, according to a person familiar with the agreement, including $97 million in cash and $130 million in the other measures. Goldman will pay $330 million, with $135 million in cash and $195 million from the other pot.
The Fed had previously ordered Goldman and Morgan Stanley to review foreclosures conducted by mortgage servicing businesses that the two investment banks bought in the run-up to the subprime mortgage crisis and have since sold.
Goldman had owned Litton Loan Servicing LP and Morgan Stanley owned Saxon Capital Inc.
In 2011 and 2012 the government required banks that collect payments on mortgages, known as servicers, to review loan files after widespread mistakes were discovered across the industry in the way they had processed home seizures.
The reviews were initially expected to determine which borrowers were harmed and compensate them based on their individual experiences, but the reviews proved slow and expensive.
Instead, some 220,000 borrowers whose homes were in foreclosure in 2009 and 2010 with Litton or Saxon will receive compensation ranging from hundreds of dollars up to $125,000 depending on the type of possible error, the Fed said.
Also on Wednesday, Goldman reported fourth-quarter profit of $5.60 per share, boosted by lower compensation combined with big revenue gains. [ID:nL1E9CG1FK] It shares were up 2.8 percent at $139.35 on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange.
Regulators said last week the payouts will be based on whether a borrower falls into one of 11 categories. The categories include whether the person was eligible for protections under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act, whether the borrower was not in default, or whether he or she was denied a loan modification.
The Fed and the OCC are expected to reach similar agreements with other servicers that had been asked to conduct the reviews, including HSBC Holdings Inc, Ally Financial Inc, EverBank Financial Corp and OneWest Bank FSB.
Morgan Stanley said it was pleased to have settled the matter. A Goldman representative had no immediate comment.
Eligible borrowers should be contacted by the end of March with payment details, the Fed said.

Research find key contributor to Alzheimer's disease
Walter J. Lukiw, PhD, Associate Professor of Neuroscience and Ophthalmology at LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans, is the lead author of a paper identifying, for the first time, a specific function of a fragment of ribonucleic acid (RNA), once thought to be no more than a byproduct, in regulating inflammation and the development of Alzheimer's disease. The paper, An NF-kB-sensitive micro RNA-146a-mediated inflammatory circuit in Alzheimer's disease and in stressed human brain cells, will be published in the November 14, 2008 issue of The Journal of Biological Chemistry.
Dr. Lukiw's lab at the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans Neuroscience Center of Excellence has shown that this tiny piece of RNA, or microRNA, called miRNA-146a is found in increased amounts in stressed human brain cells and in Alzheimer's disease, and that it plays a crucial role in the regulation of inflammation and disease-related neuropathology thought to be integral to the Alzheimer's disease process. Dr. Lukiw's research team, which also included LSUHSC's Jian Guo Cui, MD, PhD and Yuhai Zhao, a post doctoral student in the lab, demonstrated in human brain cells in primary culture that MiRNA-146a targets the messenger RNA of an important anti-inflammatory regulator called complement factor H (CFH). Testing both control cells and Alzheimer's disease-affected tissues, they found that miRNA-164a appears to reduce the amount and bioavailability of CFH, promoting the inflammation of brain cells and contributing to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's Disease is a fatal, age-related neurodegenerative disorder characterized clinically by the progressive erosion of cognition and memory, and neuropathologically by defective gene expression and increased inflammatory cell signaling. According to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America, it is estimated that Alzheimer's disease currently affects more than 5 million Americans and it is projected that the number could more than triple to 16 million by mid-century.
"The goal of these neuroscience research studies is to further our understanding of the molecular biology and genetic mechanisms associated with Alzheimer's Disease and to advance the design of therapeutic strategies to counteract this common and tragic neurological disorder," said Dr. Lukiw.

CRESTVIEW � Abrakadoodle begins teaching adult art classes here Wednesday afternoon.
Parents who have seen the creativity pour from their children � Abrakadoodle art classes are available at Bob Sikes, Antioch and Riverside elementary schools � have been requesting classes for themselves.
Some have ventured down to Destin for the opportunity to take adult art classes, Abrakadoodle owner Erin Bakker said.
Abrakadoodle and Simply Pink Boutique are offering Christmas art parties in which adult students will make Christmas-themed d�cor, Bakker said.
"I think it'll be a good opportunity to expand that kind of programming to Crestview, because we don't have any adult classes there," she said.
The first class, from 6 to 8 p.m., will offer instruction in making mixed-media angels on wood panels. Classes cost $30 per person and include materials.
Subsequent classes are the next two Wednesdays at the same times. Simply Pink is at 451 Ferdon Blvd., Crestview. Call 423-7750 or 855-5375 for more information.

Rollo did seem to value that locket quite a bit. I was thinking that it was because it was an important piece of spy machinery (or such machinery was put into the locket), but you never know.

Nah, Lelouch's saying "he stopped time" would be their way of having him give a quick explanation for the geass. once Lelouch somehow gets out of the current situation and (maybe) get Rolo on his side, or something to that affect, Lelouch would think about it with his brain (as he normally does) and go like "Oh it is not time!" "its in the head" or whatever.. :3
Hmm, probably tramatizing past, dont think hes gay as much so as the need and attatchment to somebody, family most likely given key ideas and words, Brother (family in general), and Birthday seems to affect him alot. The love is more of a platonic, or rather brotherly. That point is pretty obvious.
Only part im having trouble on atm is Rolo's split between wanting to "kill" or get rid of zero and whatnot due to probably duty but then not wanting Lelouch to be zero, which he knows for a fact in the back of his head, and definately by ep3, and was constantly trying to convince himself otherwise, even tho hes already positive on the matter. Its just their way to having a "messed" up, tramatized child with power, and is hopefuly gona be cleared up at the start of EP 4! :3

I agree, as much as Sunrise would tease up with the whole thing, it really just reminds me more of the overly obsessive relationship Lelouch had with Nunnally beforehand and vice versa, so his reaction and stuff wasn't surprising to me, and the fact that its likely he had a messed up childhood would only help us in understanding why he acts the way he does, I would think anyway.

He's just a kid with a geass and a really messed up childhood of some sort. But hanging around Lelouch will probably make him better, it worked for Suzaku and C.C. after all.

Not only does Rollo have an older brother/family complex he feels vastly inferior to Nunnally demonstrated by taking her birthday which he should. I think he's close to as emotionally unstable as Nina. My initial guess about Rollo was orphan before season 2 started, and I'm sticking with that.

I still think there's a possibility Rolo might actually be a legitimate brother to Lelouch instead of a spy delegated to resembling Nunnally. Anyone else think this?
At first, I originally thought Rolo needed to disguise himself as close as possible to resembling Nunnally because I suspected breaking the emperor's Geass (don't feel like calling him Charles) is similar to how Villetta was able to break free and regain her former self and memories although I'm not quite sure about Shirley's case (I remember she found a picture of her and Lulu and her confession about Lulu being Zero, but I do vaguely recall it wasn't enough to break herself free from Lelouch's Geass).
Considering how significant Nunnally is to Lelouch, and, since she was the one of the reasons why Lelouch became Zero, indicating her worldly value to Lelouch to me (besides the incident near the end of season 1), I assumed the emperor was aware of this and had a replacement to distinctively match Nunnally, but Rolo's figure and appearance in general has an uncanny similarity to Nunnally.
Along with Rolo's reluctance to part ways with the locket, I'm highly guessing like Lelouch, he was in a predicament similar Lelouch where he was nothing more than a bargaining chip used in negotiations. But what's with Rolo's obsession in killing Zero? I can't think much of an explanation of it right now based on the clues (or laziness on my behalf), but I suspect something similar to what Shirley is going through could have happened. Previously, Shirley as we all know it was infatuated with Lelouch. Her memories of knowing of her previous self's discovery of Lelouch being Zero before the memory change was gone, but her feelings of Lelouch still remained intact. I thinking this could be the case for Rolo too, but why would he possess a Geass too? I'm really reaching for straws here, but Rolo's Geass on his left eye and Lelouch's Geass on his right eye seems to mean something important here yet I can't figure what besides trying to think if that connection even means anything.
Is it possible Rolo had his brotherly love affection before the emperor might have Geass him? I'm reaching for details, I know, but the possibility still interests me nonetheless.

As for Rolo himself, i highly doubt his ability is to stop time. Besides obvious things like the water continuing to run in the affected field, there is another thing to consider we know about geass - all of the known ones affect people's mind in various ways (Mind reading, memory manipulation, bending mind to your own will), thus it would make more sense (based on what we have been shown thus far) for his Geass to cause a mind stop (the red outline of the affected people's eyeballs reinforce this) instead of being something that influences the physical environment around him.

I think Rolo is just as much used by Britannia as someone like Suzaku is and is torn over it in his inner self.
I have a feeling that Rolo is not only assigned to be a false brother, but thinks of himself as such, or at least wants to think that. It's like a reverse Stockholm Syndome. Even if he's deceiving (or was) Lelouch, he has come to genuinely like him as a brother.

From 1963 to 1964, he was an assistant professor at Kutztown State College in Kutztown, Pa. He taught at Buffalo State from 1964 until his retirement in 1994.
As an artist, Mr. Baeumler had solo exhibitions at Hayes Hall at UB and at Galerie Thibaut in New York City.
He also was part of group shows at the Gallery Without Walls, the Burchfield Art Center and Albright-Knox Art Gallery.
His art ranged from abstract expressionism to homages to still-life work in the mold of Paul Cezanne and Vincent Van Gogh. He developed his own groundbreaking technique for integrating screen printing and painting.
Mr. Baeumler also loved to cast and sculpt still-life objects. His own garden and the gardens discovered across Western New York were often inspirations for his work.
He is survived by his wife of 55 years, the former Joan P. Lynch; two sons, Klee Baeumler and Blake Von Knopka; two daughters, Inge Baeumler-Monin and Caitlin Baeumler Coleman; and a brother, Dr. George.Services will be private.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 10, 2012) – The ETSU women's basketball team hosts its annual breast cancer awareness game on Saturday afternoon when the Lady Bucs host North Florida inside the MSHA Athletic Center. Tip is set for 1:30 p.m.
Instead of Blue and Gold being the prominent colors on Saturday, "Pink" will be the theme as the Lady Bucs take part in the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) "Play 4 Kay" game in honor of Hall of Fame Coach Kay Yow. Yow, who battled with the disease and passed away back on Jan. 24, 2009, was a past president and founding member of the WBCA, and a galvanizing voice for the association.
In 2007, the WBCA started the initiative with its "Pink Zone" theme, but this past year the organization rebranded the name in honor of Coach Yow to "Play 4 Kay." The mission of the initiative has remained intact: a nation of coaches raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond. The Kay Yow Cancer Fund will continue to be the official charity of the initiative.
On Saturday, the Lady Bucs (6-18, 5-8 A-Sun) will be sporting pink to tie into the game. Hopefully the Lady Bucs can use the event to come together as a team and end their losing skid.
ETSU dropped its second consecutive game after suffering an 88-82 setback on Thursday night against Jacksonville. Four Lady Buccaneer players scored in double figures with sophomore Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) recording her second straight double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds, while senior Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) added 20 points on four made three-pointers.
Following the game, head coach Karen Kemp referenced the lack of leadership and team chemistry in the postgame press conference.
"All week in practice we stressed the importance of coming together as a team and stop worrying about the individual statistics," said Kemp. "We just have to pull together as a team – and until we do that – the outcome is going to be like it was over these last few games. As a coach, my role is to pull this group together as a team, and unfortunately we don't have that leadership from any one player. Hopefully we can find the energy, passion, and heart like we did in the second half against Jacksonville and turn things around over these last five games."
Meanwhile, North Florida (9-16, 6-8) is coming off a 71-65 loss Thursday night at USC Upstate. The Ospreys were tied at 31 at the break, but let things slip away in the second half as senior guard Brittany Kirkland led the way with 19 points. UNF scored 24 points off 18 forced turnovers, but in the end free throw shooting was the difference maker. Both teams made 24 field goals and four threes, but USC Upstate outscored the Ospreys by six at the charity stripe. The Spartans finished 19-of-25, while UNF went 13-for-21 at the line.
Kirkland leads the team in scoring (12.5), while junior guard Jadhken Kerr has registered 47 of the 112 three-pointers for the Ospreys this season. Along with Kirkland and Kerr, reigning A-Sun Defensive Player of the Year, Larkira Jones, is adding six points, seven rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game for UNF.
The Lady Bucs lead the all-time series, 10-3, and are 6-0 lifetime against the Ospreys in Johnson City. ETSU, who is winning on average of 19.2 points per game at home against UNF, suffered a heartbreaking 70-67 loss to the Ospreys last month in Jacksonville. The Lady Bucs saw the Ospreys finish the final six minutes on an 18-3 run en route to rallying back from a 15-point second half deficit. Last season, Pickwell went off for a career-high 24 points in the 74-52 win back on Feb. 12.
Fans unable to attend Saturday's game can listen to all the action live on WXSM-AM 640 The Extreme Sports Monster as "Voice of the Lady Bucs" John Stevens will handle the play-by-play duties. Live video will also be offered on A-Sun.TV, while live stats can be accessed via Gametracker.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Mr. & Mrs. Bellic (Revenge)
This mission will occur regardless of which path you decided to take. However, we've covered it twice because the mission will go very differently depending on which path you chose. This particular brief rundown covers the "revenge" path, so if you just killed Dimitri on his cargo ship, then you're on the right path. You'll get a call from Kate after that mission is over. Since she's your date to Roman's wedding, you have to go pick her up at her place in Broker, on Savannah Avenue. After scooping her up, you can then drive to Algonquin, to the very same church where her brother's funeral was. The conversation you have with her en route to the church is an important one, and as you'll soon find out, it's one you'll want to pay close attention to.
Why should you pay such close attention? Well, the answer to that is simple enough. Roman and Mallorie will get married without any trouble whatsoever, but it's outside after the wedding concludes that the crew runs into some trouble. As everyone celebrates this glorious day, none other than Jimmy Pegorino drives up and, using an assault rifle, shoots into the crowd. Everyone goes uninjured, except for one person—Kate. Kate is struck down by Jimmy's bullets, and she dies instantly. This leaves Niko in an absolute rage, but Little Jacob and Roman encourage him to get out of here before things get out of control. And just like that, this short, story-driven mission will come to an end.

"GMO Inside" Calls on Kellogg's and General Mills to Label GMOs or Cut Them Out Entirely
Submitted by: Green America
Categories: Activism, Sustainability
Posted: Jan 17, 2013 – 10:54 AM EST
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 /CSRwire/ - GMO Inside, a coalition dedicated to advancing the right of consumers to know whether or not foods are genetically engineered, today announced that it is shining the light on the nation's largest breakfast cereal companies: Kellogg's and General Mills. GMO Inside is calling on these companies, who claim to be wholesome and healthy, to make a Fresh Start and label or remove the ingredients in their products that have been genetically engineered. In cereals, this could apply to major ingredients such as corn, soy, and added sugars.
Throughout January, and available at gmoinside.org/take-action, GMO Inside is calling on consumers to sign petitions, phone the companies to request non-GMO products, and take action on the Facebook profiles of each company and their many brands. General Mills is the maker of iconic cereals such as Cheerios, Chex, Kix, and Lucky Charms, as well as the owner of Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, and Hamburger Helper. Kellogg's manufactures Corn Flakes, POPS, Froot Loops, Frosted Flakes, and Special K, and owns MorningStar Farms, Pop Tarts, and Keebler, to name just a few.
GMO Inside is also urging Kellogg's and General Mills to pledge not to fund any opposition to I-522, the Washington State ballot initiative for GMO labeling, which will be up for a vote in November 2013—or any other initiatives and legislation emerging in states around the country.
To date, more than 5,000 consumers have taken action with GMO Inside signing a petition to General Mills to remove GMOs from its bestselling Cheerios line of products, and more than 17,000 Facebook fans helped to shut down the company's Cheerios Facebook app in December 2012.
"We have been completely blown away by the amount of consumer support the GMO issue has created," said Alisa Gravitz, President of Green America. "Since Prop 37 was defeated in California in November last year, consumer action has only increased. I am completely inspired by the parents who are standing up against major corporations for the right to know what they are feeding their kids. Kellogg's and General Mills represent just the beginning of what this coalition is prepared to take on."
"We're calling on consumers to get a fresh start this year by beginning every day with a healthy breakfast, free of GMO ingredients," said Elizabeth O'Connell, GMO Inside Campaign Director. "Putting Kellogg's and General Mills under our January spotlight is part of GMO Inside's commitment to educate consumers about which products are likely to have GMO ingredients. We'll call attention to new products every month."
GMO Inside believes that everyone has a right to know what's in their food and to choose foods that are proven safe for themselves, their families, and the environment. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have never been proven safe for consumption, and a growing body of studies is raising concerns around the health effects of eating them. Thousands of US physicians now instruct all their patients to avoid genetically modified foods in their diets. GMOs are also increasing the use of toxic herbicides and causing harm to farmers in the US and abroad.
With the Fresh Start action, GMO Inside joins with the work of GMO Free USA, which is calling on Kellogg's to commit to making all of its products with non-GMO ingredients. Both Kellogg's and General Mills sell their iconic products in Europe without GMO ingredients.
GMO Inside is a coalition of businesses and organizations that support a healthy, GMO-free food system. The steering committee is made up of the following organizations and individuals and convened by Green America.
Food Democracy Now! is a grassroots community dedicated to building a sustainable food system that protects our natural environment, sustains farmers and nourishes families. Food Democracy Now! members know we can build a food system that gives our communities equal access to healthy food, and respects the dignity of the farmers who produce it. We believe in recreating regional food systems, supporting the growth of humane, natural and organic farms, and protecting the environment.
GMO Free USA works to harness education, advocacy, and bold action to foster consumer rejection of genetically modified organisms, until they are proven safe. They support the labeling of GMO foods with the ultimate goal of getting GMOs out of the food supply and environment. Their current campaign focuses on engaging Kellogg's to get GMOs out of their entire product line.

Some in Soho like modern design, but city has questions
By Ronda Kaysen
A developers plan to transform a vacant lot in Soho into a modernist residential building the first of its kind under the neighborhoods new zoning rules has evoked a mixture of enthusiasm and trepidation from community members and a critical response from the citys Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Last December, the City Council approved a change in the citys zoning text to allow for new residential developments in Soho and Noho, a change that will undoubtedly have an effect on the appearance of the historic districts. A harbinger of the new Soho to come, developer Albert Laboz has enlisted the modernist architectural firm, Gwathmey Siegel, to design a five-story, glass-and-metal building atop the spacious parking lot at 311 W. Broadway, across from the Soho Grand Hotel. For many in Soho, the possibility of a tastefully executed modern design sits better than a poor reproduction of the cast-iron buildings that make their neighborhood famous.
One hundred years from now people will be more impressed by a beautiful 21st-century building than by a cookie-cutter copy of a 19th-century building, said Sean Sweeney, chairperson of Community Board 2s Landmarks Committee. We dont want to look like Disneyland.
The decision not to mimic the historic architecture, said Laboz, was intentional. Were doing a modern interpretation of a cast-iron building, Laboz said in a telephone interview. He declined to release design renderings because the Landmarks Commission has asked for changes.
Noting the developers responsiveness to community concerns, the committee gave Laboz a nod of approval when he presented his plans last month. We got what we wanted. Everyone was thrilled, said Sweeney, who is also director of the Soho Alliance, a neighborhood group.
Sweeney said community members were especially relieved to hear that Labozs plans include a 150-car underground garage, which will help make up for parking lost when the site, which is currently a parking lot, is developed.
Although the buildings designs include ground-floor retail space on W. Broadway, they also include ground-floor townhouses on its Wooster St. side, an unprecedented design for Soho, which typically does not permit ground-floor residential use. The developer will need to apply for a special permit in order to include the townhouses in its plans. Youre not allowed to live in the ground floor in Soho, said Sweeney. However, he added, Wed actually prefer people moving in.
Not all board members agreed with Sweeneys aesthetic assessment of the building. Andrew Jones, a public member of the Landmarks Committee, took issue with the ground floors height. Unlike many buildings in Soho, which have a taller ground floor in comparison to upper floors, the ground floor at 311 W. Broadway is the same height as the higher floors, creating the illusion of a squat building. The building is another example of a developer squeezing as many floors as possible into the zoning envelope, said Jones. Its unaesthetic in a setting where the other buildings have different proportions.
Jones encourages modern design in Soho, citing the Mies Van der Rohe Seagrams building on Park Ave. as an example of appropriate modernist architecture. He thinks Labozs plans, however, do not make the cut. There are modern buildings that achieve historic proportions, he said. It can be done, but this didnt do it.
In apparent agreement with Jones, L.P.C. sent the developers team back to the drawing board after a Dec. 7 appearance before the commission. They [the commissioners] asked that the architect work on the design, said Diane Jackier, L.P.C.s spokesperson. They had issues with the overall massing and the setback [of the building.]
We have to study [L.P.C.s findings] and come back with a revised or modified plan, said Howard Zipser, the developers zoning and land-use lawyer. Hopefully we can resolve these issues and make an application to City Planning.
Residents in the area especially those in the adjacent buildings worry not only about what their new neighbor will look like, but whether or not its construction will inflict damage upon their own building. Everyone [in Soho] thats had construction next to [their building] has had problems from minor to very serious, said D. James Dee, a resident of 12 Wooster St.
The building that will, in all likelihood, be most affected by the Laboz development 307-309 W. Broadway, a co-op has already endured damage from a new luxury residential construction on its Wooster St. side. Residents at 307-309 W. Broadway are increasingly concerned the Laboz project may cause further damage to their own building, said Dee. According to one 307-309 W. Broadway resident who declined to give her name for this article because of fear of retribution from fellow residents, the building sustained damage on every floor. On one floor, at least, the wall separated from the floor. The co-ops residents, not the 7 Wooster St. developer, are paying for the repairs, the resident said.
Concern about structural damage is not unfounded in the low-lying neighborhood. The residents at 74 Grand St., a five-story cast-iron building, were evacuated in September after a heavy rain flooded an adjacent excavation pit, causing extensive structural damage to their building. In November, a backhoe digging a new sewer line for a building at 51 Crosby St. hit a water main, forcing residents at neighboring 53 Crosby St. to temporarily evacuate. And last March, a long vertical crack split open the side of 620 Broadway, the result of a new Macklowe Properties Inc. construction.
There have been numerous instances of adjacent buildings sinking, said Jones. Its a very serious issue. C.B. 2s Landmarks Committee does not address issues other than aesthetics and therefore cannot comment on structural concerns in its findings.
The nearby residents need not worry that their building will suffer such a traumatic fate, said Zipser. Weve assembled the best team in the city on this and were going to do all the monitoring thats required to make sure there is no disturbance at all, he said. The way the building is constructed, it will have minimal effect on the other buildings.
Our main goal has always been to work with the community, Laboz added.
But until Laboz can secure L.P.C.s approval, 311 W. Broadway will remain as it is: a parking lot. Dee, a Soho property owner himself, expects Labozs plan will eventually be approved with fewer headaches than other Soho developers because of his attitude towards local residents. The developer and members of his design team met with the Soho Alliance on two separate occasions before they presented the plan to Community Board 2. Its costing him more money upfront, said Dee of Labozs strategy of engaging the community. But it seems to me that he wants to do it right. By cooperating with the neighborhood, you dont have any lawsuits that are going to cost you money. By not upsetting the neighbors and by staying within the law, hes going to take this development pretty much straight on through.

After Chįvez
The tears shed by the sobbing masses across Venezuela following the death of President Hugo Chįvez at age 58 are genuine. Many considered their late president a champion of the poor, while others viewed him a villain who ignored the law and trampled democratic principles when it suited him.
Both are right.
President Chįvez rose to power by using his rhetorical gifts to tap the frustration of his nation's poor and powerless and making an enemy of the rich and comfortable. And indeed the gross economic equalities in Venezuela and its Latin American neighbors needed addressing.
His socialist revolution did bring quick relief in the form of increased welfare programs, expansive government health clinics in slums and impoverished rural areas, and state-run stores selling discounted food subsidized by the government. That an elected leader was so directly addressing their plight generated intense allegiance among his supporters.
To maintain that support, however, President Chįvez saw it necessary to continually demonize the economically successful and corporations, whose investments are necessary to make a modern economy work. First elected in 1998, a decade into his presidency it was apparent the Chįvez approach - government confiscation of businesses, nationalizing oil companies - was inhibiting Venezuela's economic growth and fueling unsustainable inflation.
Political opponents and uncooperative judges were jailed, the media co-opted to promote the president's propaganda. As the checks and balances provided by a healthy democracy eroded, corruption, crime and government inefficiency grew.
The transition to new leadership for Venezuela will be difficult. The government's policies, identity, and institutions are so tied to the cult of one personality - Chįvez - that it is impossible to predict what will become of his "revolution." The Constitution calls for a quick election, but Vice President Nicolįs Maduro, who assumed power, may have other ideas.
Depending on how the politics play out, it could provide an opportunity for the United States to reset its strained relations with Venezuela. The capitalist United States was a convenient foil for the populist president and the distrust was mutual, with successive U.S. administrations concerned President Chįvez was pushing South America in the wrong direction.
The Day editorial board meets regularly with political, business and community leaders and convenes weekly to formulate editorial viewpoints. It is composed of President and Publisher Pat Richardson, Editorial Page Editor Paul Choiniere, retired Day editor Lisa McGinley, Managing Editor Tim Cotter and Staff Writer Julia Bergman.

AT&T To Charge $5 For Payments Over The Phone In May
An anonymous AT&T employee who says to call him "Vernon" wrote in to tell us that starting next Tuesday, March 11th, some customers in the Southeast who call in to make a payment will be charged $5, with the fee going nationwide by May. He writes, "I feel this is taking advantage of our customers' trust, because even when we put it on all of their bills, and let people know, there will be tons of reps that won't let the customer know they're being charged for taking their payment."
Here's his full email:
I have been working for ATT (Cingular, before SBC bought ATT Wireless) and starting March 11th, they are going to be doing a trial in the Southeast Market in charging customers who call in to make a payment. $5 is the charge to be exact, and they expect it to roll out nationwide by May.
I would be forwarding you the official internal memo, but they do monitor our emails with Nazi prowess…so no official email from them..
This upsets me as two fronts, as first, a customer. Why the fuck would they CHARGE their customers for taking their payments?
"So, you're telling me I have to give you MORE money for giving you my regular payment?"
Secondly, it upsets me as an employee. I feel this is taking advantage of our customer's trust, because even when we put it on all of their bills, and let people know, there will be tons of reps that won't let the customer know they're being charged for taking their payment.
I feel that if this gets enough word and bad press, maybe this shit ball of a company will change its mind.
Well, you're welcome AT&T, we just helped alert readers to your new fee scheme.
We doubt they'll drop the fee, though—it sounds like a classic case of a company deciding to no longer foot the bill for what was formerly an included customer service.
Prediction: someone will introduce "live operator" surcharges in the next 24 months.

Any critique would be much appreciated! Thank you for reading!
My freelance career as a designer started with a successful contract negotiation during recess in the second grade. My client would receive a high quality copy of a colored pencil drawing while I would retain full copyright ownership of the original sketch and two dollars compensation. Since then I have broadened my client base and have worked as a designer on some of the most anticipated projects in the entertainment industry. Having reached a level of professional success that surpassed what I imagined for myself so early into my career, I now feel compelled to set new, far reaching goals for myself within this industry.
There is a sense of reluctant acceptance among designers working in entertainment that plagiarism and intellectual property theft simply comes with the territory of being a digital artist in a global market. Indeed, intellectual property theft is so common that one can easily become desensitized to its prevalence. Often I have found other designers and start up developers display work from my blog on their own professional websites. I was even deceived into developing an intellectual property that was initially stolen from independent developers. That I played a role, albeit unwittingly, in this kind of practice fueled my desire to acquire an arsenal of legal knowledge so that I may protect myself and others from this kind of exploitation.
That people conduct such immoral business practice without consequence is not entirely surprising, given the legal systems difficult task of keeping pace with the changes that continually transform the design field. Designers formulate ideas with software that is constantly evolving, and for this reason it is challenging to trace the origins and therefore ownership of a creative idea. However, as someone who works at the forefront of development in this field, I believe that with an outstanding legal education I can help fill the gap between justice and creative ownership in the field of commercial design and intellectual property development. Combined with my ability to work from home as a designer, [XYZ University Law Schools reputation for offering one of the strongest part-time legal programs in the country has compelled me to seek admission to your school.
My experience working in immigration law has taught me that successful lawyering involves designing as well. A lawyer is presented with unique problems to solve and he must devise creative solutions while also conforming to a complex set of rules. To extend my design skills into the legal field would enable me to affect the entertainment industry in ways that I believe will be truly far reaching and influential.

Well I'm very disappointed in this forum. 88 views, no replies. Thanks for nothing everyone
It's finals time.
Okay, you spend a lot of time in this statement talking about the problem, but not why YOU WANT TO GO TO LAW SCHOOL. Shift that balance. Less problem. More you.
I like the opening sentence. It was catchy and interesting.
This comes across as you trying to show that you're already an attorney. That will not play well. Show why you want to work in the law. Go for a little humility here.
Generally, there are two types of personal statements that do well. There's the: "I would be a great law student/lawyer because..." and the "I saved 3,000 guatemalen children while fighting deportation due to my illegal alien status in the US." Yours is more, "There's these big problems. If I learn the law, I can fight them." Sorta fits category one, but again, less on the problems, more on you.
Also, this comes across as too short. You need more meat on the bones. They don't want to hear about intellectual property problems. They want to hear about you.
Best of luck.

I agree with the response. The personal statement posted seems to address the problem more than giving enough particularity about the individual. Another point the respondent makes is makes is equally valid, this was posted while several people, including myself, were preparing for finals and the LSAT. Allow time for responses and exercise patience. There are websites and services solely for the purpose of personal statement review. If you need a faster response then it may be advantageous to avail yourself of one of those sites. I have a personal statement that I will be posting for feedback. Feel free to critique it when you have time.

Hey, thanks for the response, guys! Even though I was snarky, you both still gave me valuable insight and I greatly appreciate it.

Knife-wielding man tries to break past Eiffel Tower security
Knife-wielding man tries to break past Eiffel Tower security
Paris police have arrested a man brandishing a knife who tried to breach security at the Eiffel Tower, and the monument was briefly evacuated.
The company that manages the tower said in a statement Sunday that no one was hurt in the incident, which occurred soon before closing time Saturday night. The tower reopened as usual Sunday morning.
Paris police say the man tried to force his way past security forces to go beneath the tower, but was quickly subdued. His identity wasn't released, and his motives are unclear. An investigation is underway.
Monuments in the French capital are occasionally evacuated for security reasons, as the country remains on alert after deadly attacks since 2015.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 12, 2011) – On Thursday, just one week after reporting to her first training session as a member of the ETSU women's soccer team, freshman Ellis Parsons (Cardiff, Wales) answered a request to fly back to Wales to compete in a pair of matches next week for the Welsh U19 national squad.
"I got an email yesterday saying that I've been selected to play for my country against Belgium in two friendlies," said Parsons. "It's a privilege and an honor to go back and play for your country so I'm very excited about that."
Parsons will first play with her Welsh teammates Tuesday against Belgium, before taking on the Belgians again on Thursday.
A member of the Welsh national team since 2007, Parsons has recorded seven caps in her career with the squad. Through five caps and 442 minutes of play in Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) competition, Parsons has aided the Welsh nationals to a 2-2-1 record in those games while registering three tackles. In her latest appearance with the team, Wales defeated Georgia, 21-0.
"We're obviously very proud that Ellis has been selected to go play for her country," said head coach Adam Sayers. "Ellis has been involved with the national team for several years now and we fully expected her to continue her involvement. We fully support her and we're very proud of the fact that she'll be representing her country as well as (ETSU) and we wish her all the best."
The Welsh national team is no stranger to members of the ETSU women's soccer team, as Parsons' current ETSU teammate Jasmin Dutton (Kimmel Bay, North Wales) has quite an illustrious reputation playing in Wales. Dutton, who first started playing for the U16 Welsh national team in 2003 before joining the U19 team in 2007, scored six goals in her time with the U19 squad and was also voted team captain while earning Welsh Girl Player of the Year honors.
Being in Wales all of next week, Parsons will miss both the final exhibition game of the season, Tuesday against Presbyterian, and the season opener on the road against Wofford on Friday. Fortunately, Parsons will be available come Aug. 26 when ETSU opens the home portion of the season, taking on Tennessee Tech.
Parsons will fly out Saturday to meet with her Welsh teammates and coaches for practice Sunday afternoon. The following Friday, Parsons will fly back across the pond to reunite with her ETSU squad for Saturday workouts.

My clit is twitching watching this...rubbing it now.....

Damn she is amazing, whats her full name?
ariana grande
Then don't expect a girl to shave...
¿Qué es lo que buscáis? porque aquí no está.
What area is your place
Hätt ich gern mal auf mein Gesicht die süße Maus
Acne from shaving around pussy is a visual turnoff
I have the exact same dildo as her and i was using it at the same time because i got horny
This made my clit throb so hard, i came exactly when she did, my pussy is dripping with cum. This was DEFINITELY added to my favourites
Wow,that was so up close and personal,I almost licked my computer screen ! Love the closeup shots of a well manicured pussy !
I'd eat the beautiful smoothy till she was silly! So feminine mmmmmmm.
You're a hero, @darkchylde. God save all the pussy eaters and men who like to pleasure their girls!!
this is why you get waxed instead.
Damn, the buzz of that pink thing is annoying....if she can't cum using her fingers, she hasn't been taught to masturbate properly...
Clearly you know nothing about women. She can cum with her fingers I'm sure, some women prefer vibrators. It's more intense.
i hate how it hurts but u wanna keep going (i have a sensitive clit xD)
I get so horny seeing these videos wish I can try it one day
That is not a razor rash. It's condyloma.
Well said Squirty Bertie - I was just writing something similar on another vid, are these guys paedos or what?!
I would tell her to not wash that pussy for three days so I can get a real pussy smell before I eat the lining out of it. Then i'd fuck it as hard as she wants me to.
I would feel sorry to ruin that pussy while fucking
that pink shit is fukn anyoing
Damn her pussy is pretty. I will never forget it.
I had my cock in my hand waiting to (vicariously) fill your desirable intimate parts at the moment you were ready to draw my cum deep into your body. Oh, what a feeling that I want to do with you in person.
I would love to share mutual orgasms with your sexy desirable pussy as well as pleasuring the rest of your sexy curves.
Nice pussy

18-year-old girls (and all others), why shave your cunts when you wouldn't shave your heads? Wear your snatch-thatch with pride. If your boyfriends want you shaved, ask them if they want pigtails and white socks with that!
She got the beautifulest pussy i've ever seen *-*

Kevin Nemetz, CEO of tix4cause.com, developed the site to help charities raise money by selling unused event tickets -- and he's loving every minute of it. We got him to tell us why.
Weigel: What is it about this job that excites you?
Nemetz: I read somewhere that we are suppose to work the first 10 years with our hands, the second 10 years with our brain and the last 10 years it was supposed to be your money that was going to work for you. In this economy and in my mantra, it is the heart! There is nothing more rewarding than creating a business that delivers meaningful results for people in need, while also being able to become a substantial and successful business. It certainly is not a job. It's a fulfillment of a career passion.
Weigel: So are you a ticket broker?
Nemetz: No, what we do is take tickets that people can't use -- often season tickets, or if someone is unable to make an event -- and they donate them to our site. The person making the donation chooses a charity that will receive the funds, and there are 120 to choose from on our site at the moment. Ticket donors might even qualify for a tax deduction, and charities receive 100 percent of the ticket proceeds. To me, everybody wins.
Weigel: What gave you the idea for this concept?
Nemetz: Over the years I'd help charities try to fund-raise and I always wondered if there could be a way to do this with very little overhead, so a greater percentage of the money went to the charity. We are raising smaller amounts, but it can go on all year long and not just for big annual fund-raisers. $500 might not seem like a lot to some but in this economy, every little bit helps and this really adds up. We can get that for a pair of Blackhawks tickets on our site in no time, and a charity benefits immediately.
Weigel: If you give 100 percent of the proceeds to the charity, then how do you stay in business?
Nemetz: We charge an annual fee to be registered on our site of $349, and with that membership, we help the charity to bridge the gap with useful social media tools. We give them a landing page, logo, get their presence on Facebook and Twitter. Many charities can make that $349 back in a day. We went live on Feb. 24hand the YMCA in Naperville got four tickets for a Hawks game and James Taylor tickets, so they made $670 in the same day. So many not-for-profits don't utilize the Internet tools that can help get their name out to the world, and we help them get ahead of the curve.
Weigel: Will people be able to get seats to some of the holiday shows this season on your site?
Nemetz: It depends on what comes to us. This summer somebody donated U.S. Open passes to Pebble Beach, so one of our interns said, "Let's call the concierges in the hotels nearby," and they sold them in a couple of days. People donate all kinds of things to us and they come and go quickly. Many are on the same day, especially with sporting events. Season ticket holders on average only attend 40 to 45 percent of their events, and 10 to 15 percent of the time they may do nothing and those tickets get wasted. We're trying to change that.
Weigel: What would you recommend to someone else thinking of starting their dream business?
Nemetz: The first step in starting a business is not to create an idea that is going to make millions -- rather create something that is meaningful to others. If we are successful the financial reward will come to all who participate including our company. What truly makes me love my job is receiving the news that we made a difference for others.
Do you love your job? Tell us why, and you could be featured in an upcoming story!

The goal of the East Carolina University Teacher Quality Partnership (TQP) grant project is to strengthen the knowledge and experience base of prospective teachers and to improve the achievement scores of their students in their first year of teaching. This will be accomplished by focusing on improving teaching and learning in four content areas: language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies.
The first years involved identifying research-based instructional strategies that would become a thread of knowledge from declarative and procedural, culminating with conditional evidence of learning. These instructional strategies have been infused in coursework,clinical practice, induction, and school reform. Additionally, the coursework will apply to all types of learners, including students with disabilities, English language learners, and academically gifted.
A feature of this project is its potential to improve the quality of teachers for one of North Carolina's high-poverty regions. East Carolina University is the largest producer of teachers in North Carolina and a substantial supplier of teachers to its eastern region, a high-poverty area and the area to be served by this grant.
Partners with the ECU College of Education include the ECU Harriott College of Arts and Sciences, Pitt County Schools and Greene County Schools. This project is funded by the U.S. Department of Education, award# U405A090067, under the title: Teacher Quality and Student Achievement: A Comprehensive Data-Driven School-University Approach to P-16 Reform.

The state swim meet is Oregon's big show, featuring the fastest high school swimmers from each conference. Corvallis' Osborn Aquatic Center will be packed in and action packed this weekend, starting with yesterday's preliminary rounds and ending tonight with the 4A finals.
Five Hood River Valley Eagles qualified for state. The 200 yard freestyle relay team of Peter Debbaut, Cory Coxen, Henry Hunt and Zed Debbaut took the district title last week to advance. And individually, Zed Debbaut qualified for the 100 breaststroke by winning district title, and for the 50 yard freestyle by beating the automatic state qualifying time. The fifth swimmer is Kory Harding, who is the alternate for the relay team.
In their last practice before heading down the valley, the boys trained light and worked on their starts off the block. Then they answered some questions for the Hood River News.
HR News:
How do you feel about making it to state?
Coxen: "It is a great honor to represent my school and my town."
Z. Debbaut: "In the past, I always considered state unachievable, like only immortals went. Needless to say, I'm most definitely psyched."
Harding: "I am really excited because most of us are only in 10th grade. We still have two more years after this."
P. Debbaut: "I feel really surprised. It feels awesome that I made it."
Hunt: "Making it is awesome. Beating Summit was completely unexpected."
HR News:
What was the hardest part about preparing for districts?
Coxen: "I think it was dealing with the pressure and making that pressure push you to do well."
Z. Debbaut: "The hardest part was taking things seriously and maintaining a good work ethic."
Harding: "The first practice of the week. We had to build a good base that we could taper from."
P. Debbaut: "Knowing how to balance your body so that you have a lot of energy and you aren't sore."
Hunt: "I did a lot of butterfly during the week leading up to districts."
HR News:
Standing on the starting block in the district finals, what was going through your mind? What do you try to think about?
Coxen: "I think about my breathing pattern, my kick, my turns and everything that goes on in a race."
Z. Debbaut: "I felt extremely relaxed. I was trying to think about nothing, while remembering to breathe."
Harding: "Noting, except that I had never been more prepared for a meet."
P. Debbaut: "I was thinking that we had better do good and that I had better get my best time. But I wasn't thinking about winning; I try not to think about my goal line."
Hunt: "Before each race I try to clear my mind of everything except the race I'm about to swim."
HR News:
At state, what will be your "game plan"?
Coxen: "At districts I did not drop below a 24-second time. I hope to get at least a 23.5 at state."
Z. Debbaut: "To stay relaxed and enjoy myself. It's fairly easy to psych yourself out in big competitions like that."
Harding: "Give as much support as I can to the relay team."
P. Debbaut: "Mainly to get experience and to see how fast other guys are."
Hunt: "We're a young team and we expect to be back at state next season so we will be trying to get some experience."
HR News:
Describe a memorable moment this season.
Coxen: "In our dual against Centennial, I swam a 53 second hundred, and I can't explain how good that felt."
Z. Debbaut: "My most memorable moment was winning the 100 breaststroke at districts. My opponent and I were neck and neck the whole way.
Harding: "When Mike (Pendleton) told us that we had done 5,000 meters in an hour and a half practice."
P. Debbaut: "When we won the 200 freestyle, when Zed won the 100 breast and when we beat Summit at districts."
Hunt: "When we beat Summit for the district title."
HR News:
How do you think going to state will affect your swimming after this weekend?
Coxen: "It will drive me to swim harder so I can go back."
Z. Debbaut: "It will be the end of easy practices and tapering. After state, it's back to the full workouts and a lot of hard swimming."
Harding: "Going will only make us more prepared for next season."
P. Debbaut: "After seeing all those fast guys, I will definitely work harder and set goals to beat them."
Hunt: "I am hoping it will help me get over my fear of drowning."
HR News:
What are your plans after state?
Coxen: "Swimming is the one sport I truly enjoy. After state, I will join the Hood River Ospreys Swim Team."
Z. Debbaut: "To keep swimming for the most part. I'm really looking forward to the summer."
Harding: "I plan to take a break, then start swimming again."
P. Debbaut: "I'm going to play lacrosse and swim in the mornings."
Hunt: "I'm stoked about lacrosse. After that ends, I'll go back to swimming."
HR News:
Anyone to thank?
Coxen: "Of course my coaches, Jane Nichols and Mike Pendleton."
Z. Debbaut: "Thanks to my parents for feeding me daily and thanks to my coaches for their support and their berry pie."
Harding: "My mom, my dad and my sister."
P. Debbaut: "I'd like to thank my coaches, Shelly, Jane and Mike, my friends for cheering me on and my parents, who really encouraged me to just go out there and swim."
Hunt: "Thanks to my coaches, Mike and Jane, and to my family."

About Sally T. Charter Fishing Boat
The picturesque waters of the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean gently lap against the alabaster hull of the Sally T, beckoning passengers to cast a line to the abundant wildlife swimming under the water's surface. Aboard the vessel—a head boat with Coast Guard approval for ocean trips—experienced nautical leader Captain Pete grants aspiring fisherpeople a chance to land prize catches with charter trips that explore the natural beauty of the famed waterscapes. Under the captain's guidance, a friendly crew sniffs out areas teeming with susceptible targets and bestows fishing tips and gear to blossoming seafarers. Groups then practice the skills necessary to catch and clean aquatic fauna and pursue underwater booty such as croakers, flounder, and pictures of Scott Baio taped inside Davy Jones's locker.

Hi there I am a UK trained psychotherapist and after a number of life changes, I am really looking for a new experience and have alway been very interested in teaching english abroad. I wonder if anyone else has done TEFL/ CELTA as a form of career break. I would love to be able to just travel for a while, though this just isn't financially viable! I understand that it would be quite a commitment, eg, have found a part time training coure for 4 months which is going to cost me £1000, but I think its a worthwhile output as is something I can always have, and frankly, I am considering a full tiem career change. So I would be really grateful if I someone could give me some advise. I don't have a full degree, but have an Advanced Dipolma in Mental Health Nursing and a Post Graduatte Diploma in psychotheray. Would this impact on my ability to get jobs? Also, I am wanting to do this more the the experience than to make money and would love to be in Europe as there is more opportunites to travel, even if only at weekends! Which leads to my second quetion! Am I being nieve to think that TEFl is a good way of living in a different culture but also being able to travel and make enough money to really enjoy the experience??? I mean, I am not expecting to be rolling in it, but if I could just live comfortablly and really have a new experience that souds good to me! Any tips/ advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Emma Back to top tttompatzJoined: 06 Mar 2010Posts: 1951Location: Talibon, Bohol, Philippines Posted: Wed Oct 03, 2012 11:01 am Post subject: Without the degree (more often an immigration requirement for a visa than an employer requirement) the simple fact of not having one IS an issue in many places around the planet (particularly Asia) and it is becoming more of an issue as time progresses (it will be a requirement in / for all ASEAN nations by 2015). The majority of immigration services around the planet won't even consider "equivalencies". To them it is a black and white issue; you either have one or you don't. It also means that your ability to get beyond subsistence / backpacker type wages is also compromised in many markets. The bottom line is: it all depends on the where you want to go to and whether or not you are willing to work without the proper paperwork (visas and permits). The last thing to consider when you look at TEFL course websites that look like brochures from a travel agencies office is that the cost of moving and getting established may be higher than you will recover / save in a year. They are in the business of selling dreams of "teach and travel". .
