Tourist Destinations in Gujarat
Gujarat sees fewer tourists than its neighbor to the north, Rajasthan, but its hard to see why. Gujarat is rich in culture and has something to offer any traveler.
Gujarat state is a fantastic travel destination in India not only for its incredibly friendly people, but for its abundant and rare wildlife, interesting tribal people, unique textiles and crafts, peaceful beaches, and important religious sites.
Most people visiting Gujarat will begin in the capital city of Ahmedabad. This city is cleaner and less chaotic than many in India. With helpful people and metered auto-rickshaws, the ease of visiting Ahmedabad can be a breath of fresh air. Ahmedabad has several interesting sites to see, including some impressive baolis and the column-filled Jama Masjid, as well as some worthwhile day trips.
Every January, Ahmedabad hosts an International Kite Festival. This coincides with the national holiday of Makar Sakranti on January 14th, when everyone in Ahmedabad heads to the rooftops for a day of kite-flying, kite wars, and all-around fun.
Rare Gujarat Wildlife – Indian Wild Ass and Asiatic Lion
Desert, lakes, beaches, and forest – Gujarat has a diverse ecosystem that attracts abundant and varied wildlife. Gujarat is a bird-lover's dream, but it is also home to two species of animal not found anywhere else – Indian wild ass and Asiatic lion.
The desert landscape of the Little Rann of Kutch is the only place to find Indian wild ass, an incredible creature that has managed to thrive in this harsh terrain. Those who wish to see the wild ass and other creatures that reside in the Wild Ass Sanctuary can arrange a wildlife safari from the town of Zainabad.
To see wild Asiatic lions, Sasan Gir National Park in southern Gujarat is the place to go. This forested park is unfortunately the last home of this amazing animal. Many other forms of wildlife can also be seen in the park.
Kutch – Tribes and Textiles
The Kutch district is the largest in Gujarat State. While it is a great place to see unique wildlife, Kutch has much more to offer. The Kutch region is home to many different tribal groups, such as the Koli, Harijian, and Wada tribes. While some of these tribes live in small towns, others remain in tiny villages or family-based communities dotted throughout the region.
These tribes are also known for their beautiful crafts and textiles, and there are a variety of styles and specialties throughout the region. Those who wish to learn more about the tribes, see their way of life, or observe the making of crafts such as embroidery, weaving, wood-working, and tie-dye can do so throughout the Kutch region.
Gujarat has many coastal towns lining its western and southern borders along the Arabian Sea. A favorite beach destination for many travelers is the tiny ex-Portuguese island town of Diu. Diu's beaches are far less crowded than the more popular Goa in southern India and the town provides a quiet and relaxing atmosphere for those who visit.
Important Religious Sites in Gujarat
Gujarat is home to hundreds of religious sites that draw devotees year-round. One of the most impressive religious sites in the region are the mountaintop Jain temples in Palitana. Only a five-hour bus ride from Ahmedabad, this site should top the list for any itinerary in Gujarat.
Some other sites of religious significance:
Dwarka – This town on the far eastern tip of the state is one of the four most holy Hindu sites in India and draws a variety of religious pilgrims.
Junagadh – The Jain and Hindu temples atop Girnar Hill are of significant spiritual importance, making this a prime location for the Bhavnath Fair in February. Junagadh also has Buddhist caves.
Champaner – the mosques and tombs at and around the old city of Champaner make this an important piece of religious heritage. Find more info on India Tours and India Tour Operator

A Sui Generis Regime for Traditional Knowledge: The Cultural Divide in Intellectual Property Law
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review, Vol. 15, No. 1, Winter 2011
Florida International University Legal Studies Research Paper No. 13-07
70 Pages Posted: 24 Mar 2010 Last revised: 26 Feb 2014
Date Written: March 19, 2010
Traditional knowledge can be protected, to some extent, under various intellectual property laws. However, for the most part, there is no effective international legal protection for this subject matter. This has led to proposals for a sui generis right for traditional knowledge. The precise contours of the right are yet to be determined, but a sui generis right could include perpetual protection. It could also result in protection for historical communal works and for knowledge that may be useful but that is not inventive according to the standards of intellectual property law. Developing countries have been more supportive of international protection for traditional knowledge than developed countries. At the same time, developing countries have been critical of the impact of intellectual property rights on various social issues such as access to medicines and educational materials. In light of developing country concerns about the negative effects of strong global intellectual property rights, this paper uses a development focused instrumentalist approach to assess the implications of a sui generis traditional knowledge right. It concludes that some of the measures sought may not achieve the desired outcome. Although intellectual property can play a role in protecting traditional knowledge, creating a sui generis intellectual property style right may hinder the equity-oriented goals of some traditional knowledge holders.
Keywords: Intellectual property, International intellectual property, Traditional knowledge, Traditional cultural, expressions, Genetic resources, WIPO, WTO, Biopiracy, Misappropriation, Sui generis right, TRIPS, Developing countries

While many of today's entrepreneurs preach "shipping" early and often, TeachAIDS founder Piya Sorcar believes in the benefits of slowing down to get things right. Sorcar has had to overcome hurdles like technology access, language barriers, and cultural taboos that leave little margin for error.After working to create and distribute effective AIDS education materials in 70 countries, Sorcar shares her key takeaways for ensuring that you produce your best work, including the benefits of doing meticulous research, vigorously gathering data, and inventing processes to discover new insights about your craft.
Named to MIT Technology Review's TR35 list of the top 35 innovators in the world under 35 in 2011, Dr. Sorcar is the founder and CEO of TeachAIDS, a nonprofit social venture founded at Stanford, which creates breakthrough software used in over 50 countries.

HunCraft Genocide is the most detailed unofficial expansion pack for StarCraft: Brood War. It has 3 new units, new heroes and special buildings in the campaign, 3 new campaign episodes (26 missions and a hidden mission), more than 40 new multiplayer maps and some small changes. Though the most StarCraft expansion packs can be used in use map settings, this game has own exe file, menus and new map file format (hcx). It does not change anything to your original StarCraft installation, but needed to be in the same directory. There is a bugfix patch for it which make some balances in the game. Single player can be described with mass battles and especially difficulty. The story continues after Brood War, when admiral DuGalle has committed suicide and Kerrigan has regained control of the Zerg forces. According to Brood War epilogue, no UED ships returned to Earth, but some UED forces remained on Char. The game starts with exactly the same prologue which Brood War has as an epilogue.

I enjoyed Karl Grune's semi-expressionist DIE STRASSE, with it's staring eye optician's sign, so it was only a matter of time before I saw more of his work. DAS GELBE HAUD DES KING-FU is sadly lost, but the French version made parallel with it, LA MAISON JAUNE DE RIO, is quite a thing, combining as it does UFA with Pathe-Natan house styles.
SCHLAGENDE WETTER (TRAPPED IN A MINE) dates from 1923, the same year as DIE STRASSE, but it's more melodramatic and stiff at the knees. However, there are numerous points of interest.
The movie was considered lost, and only restored from a partial Italian copies. The intertitles were reconstructed from those handy censor's records, with the result that they lack all 1920s style. So I'm not bothering to reproduce any of them here. Big chunks of the film itself are missing too, so that it becomes hard to judge what emotional pull it might have once had. As it is, the best character is a wee dog —
Like most domestic pets, he seems oblivious of the emotional subtext of whatever scene he's in, so he serves as a kind of alternative movie of his own — if you get tired of the drama unfolding in the main scenario, you can look at whatever corner of the screen he's occupying, and get a more upbeat storyline, one revolving around the cuddles or biscuits the unnamed pooch lives in momentary expectation of receiving. His life is a whirlwind of excitement, as who knows when some distracted German actor might pat him or feed him? It is sure to happen at any instant!
Grune adds a further divertissement by hand-tinting the lights on the mineshaft elevator, so little dancing green and magenta bubbles decorate the frame. Rather than glowing brightly and remaining still, as they should do, these frame-by-frame enhanced bulbs wibble-wobble like figures in a Bill Plympton cartoon, making them almost as perky as the happy wee dog. And like the dog, the effect is one of continual distraction — you can't take your eyes off the thing. It's like when Channel 4 decided to show some racy films (IDENTIFICATION OF A WOMAN! THEMROC!) with a red warning triangle in the top right corner. It was the first station ident "bug" ever deployed in the UK, and it drove us crazy. Our virgin retinae, never before exposed to such a beady intruder, darted to that corner at every edit, convinced it was looking at us. When it disappeared in the commercial breaks we stared at the empty space, awaiting its return, like some primitive tribe watching for the sky-god. We even forgot to look at the naked ladies.
Grune's artificial townscape with its miniature chimney stacks in forced perspective, and the giant mine set with its weird cutaway tunnels, permitting Grune's camera to observe the cave-in victims like the insectoid bumpkins in an ant farm, add macro scale to the micro detail. It's only the human-sized elements that let the film down. Poses are struck, arms are flung about, in what looks almost like a parody of silent movie acting. Perhaps it's a response to the melodrama of the story — DIE STRASSE is neatly restrained in comparison, and channeling all the sturm & drang into a narrower focus creates far greater emotional intensity.

Update: The plant has completed its bloom cycle and is no longer on display at the U.S. Botanic Garden.
The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), also known as the corpse flower or stinky plant, is in bloom at the United States Botanic Garden Conservatory. It went on display on Thursday, July 11, and began to bloom on Sunday, July 21. Once fully open, it may remain in bloom for 24 to 48 hours, and then it will collapse quickly.
The renown of the titan arum comes from its great size – it is reputed to have the largest known unbranched inflorescence in the plant kingdom.
Referred to as the corpse flower or stinky plant, its putrid smell is most potent during peak bloom at night into the early morning. The odor is often compared to the stench of rotting flesh. The inflorescence also generates heat, which allows the stench to travel further. This combination of heat and smell efficiently attracts pollinators, such as dung and carrion beetles, from across long distances.
The titan arum does not have an annual blooming cycle. The time between flowering is unpredictable, which can span from a few years to a few decades between flowerings. The plant requires very special conditions, including warm day and night temperatures and high humidity, making Botanic Gardens well suited to support this strange plant outside of its natural range.
This plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia, and was first discovered in 1878. Public viewing of this unique plant has occurred a limited number of times in the United States. The U.S. Botanic Garden last displayed a blooming titan arum in 2007.
The U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory is open to the public, free of charge, every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Conservatory will have extended hours from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, July 22, and Tuesday, July 23, please check www.usbg.gov for additional details. The Conservatory is located at 100 Maryland Avenue SW, in between the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall. Visitors are strongly encouraged to take Metrobus or Metrorail.

Pentagon supports ending 'don't ask, don't tell' law for gays in military
Wednesday, February 3, 2010
The Pentagon's top leaders declared Tuesday for the first time that -- after decades of opposition and equivocation from the armed forces -- they support an end to the ban on gay men and lesbians serving openly in the military.
"Speaking for myself and myself only, it is my personal belief that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do," Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate Armed Services Committee. His words were echoed by Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, who said the Pentagon is preparing for a repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" law.
That law has stood for 17 years, but the debate over allowing gays to serve openly stretches back much further. For the tradition-bound military, the issue has proved to be intractable, with some officers arguing that the integration of openly serving gays would demoralize fellow troops, even as critics of "don't ask, don't tell" insisted that military service should be a civil right.
Despite the remarkable shift in position by the Pentagon's leaders Tuesday, there remained serious questions about whether Congress and the White House are ready to keep pace.
A House bill that would overturn "don't ask, don't tell" has 187 co-sponsors, but Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), a powerful committee chairman, opposes it and has not let it come up for a vote.
The Senate, which invited Gates and Mullen to testify Tuesday, is moving cautiously. Worried that they lack the 60 votes needed to break a filibuster, Senate leaders said they might try to add a temporary moratorium on discharges of gay service members to a defense spending bill, whose passage would require only majority approval.
President Obama said in his State of the Union address last week that he wants to work with Congress to repeal the law, but he has resisted pleas by gay rights groups to sign an executive order that would instantly mandate a change. On Tuesday, Vice President Biden promised to end the "don't ask, don't tell" policy by the end of the year.
Speaking on MSNBC, he also defended the administration against critics who have questioned why the issue has become pressing now.
Richard Socarides, a Clinton White House official who served as an adviser on gay issues, predicted that Congress would take its cues from the military and eventually vote to allow gays to serve in the open. Mullen's public statement, in particular, he said, will influence lawmakers.
"It was highly significant, coming in a very historic setting and from the highest-ranking military man in our government, in uniform," Socarides said. "I found it quite compelling and an eloquent statement."
Mullen, 63, told senators that he had knowingly served with gays since 1968, when he graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, and that he thought it was wrong that they were forced to hide their sexual orientation.
"No matter how I look at the issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens," he testified.

Suspect in La Cantera muggings nabbed
A UTSA student admitted committing two robberies in the past month at The Shops at La Cantera, including one in which he pointed a BB gun at a child, police said.
The first robbery occurred Oct. 19, when a mall employee said a man punched her in the face while she was outside on a smoke break. He continued punching her until she fell to the ground and let go of her cellphone, she told police.
Two weeks later, a man carrying a BB gun robbed a man at the mall as he sat on a bench with a young child, making off with his cellphone and iPad, police said.
Surveillance footage led police to Joshua Wells, 20, a UTSA student who'd been named a suspect in a theft case at the campus.
Police said Wells confessed to the crimes Monday. He was charged with two counts of robbery, a second-degree felony. Bail was set at $80,000.

Benefits to the community
Our job is managing filming in Southwark for the benefit of the community and the council.
Filming can help to raise the profile of Southwark to a wide audience and be a source of revenue for the council and local causes. London has a major international film industry which generates revenues of over £4 billion per year and employs most of the approximately 70,000 people working in the UK film industry. Southwark, as a key London borough, aims to be at the forefront of this exciting industry. For more about the UK film industry, see the BFI 2013 Statistical Yearbook.
We think it is important that filmmakers come to an agreement with people in the community before they start filming. They might offer to make donations to local associations of residents or traders, community projects like maintenance of local parks or to local charitable causes. We also encourage filmmakers to offer film opportunities in Southwark such as positions for young people on film sets.
If you are interested in being part of this process, have a look through rest of the information on this page to find out how.
If the complaint is urgent, please contact us on our emergency phone number which is 07919 002115.
You and filming in your neighbourhood
You can help to use local filming to your community's advantage by joining or creating a local resident or trader association. Or your neighbourhood might already run an association you can join. The council has a list of some tenants and residents associations that might be helpful, click here for more information on these. We notify the associations we know of about any filming planned in their area, and we have standing agreements with several of them. If you represent an association like this and would like to be more involved in local filming, please send us an email with the contact and other details of the association.
For major shoots, we encourage filmmakers to engage with known local associations to agree conditions for filming, which can include direct donations to local causes. Film makers behind smaller shoots usually send in advance letters to all nearby buildings, or visit in person to talk through the plans and discuss any issues which need to be addressed.
Our community consultation process is guided by the Code of Practice for Location Filming in London.
From time to time, Southwark Film Office conducts a comprehensive survey of residents and traders about their experience of filming in their neighbourhoods. This is part of the agreement between FilmFixer and Southwark Council to make sure we are providing a quality service to the community.
If you would like to take part in the survey please send us an email with your name and address.

Simply gorgeous! Is that straight out of the camera, or did you bump up the colors? JenReplyDelete
Just yesterday i took the photo out of my photo album and scanned it. When I scanned it all I did was use the Restore Faded Color and Perform Dust and Scratch Removal tools.ReplyDelete
It does look just a tad darker on the computer. I set it as my wallpaper :-)

Well, here we are again! I promised that I would blog more and here I am! I must admit that I felt a little cut off in my prime with the last post, I felt I had more to give, whether you wanted it or not. Okay, so I'm sitting here invigilating mock exams and I'm a little bored. Well, I do have some marking to do, but I'm just not feeling the marking urge. Is there anything more boring than marking? Yes, I guess there probably is, but right here, right now, I would rather do anything else than marking. This means that for this moment in time, you are getting my *almost* undivided attention.
So, what else has been going on in my life? Well, M and I have discovered the delights of Game of Thrones. Actually, I discovered it right back in Season One, but M has only recently decided that he wanted to watch them, so we've been watching the box sets and have now caught up to everyone else. Season Four is under our belts and we, along with the rest of the World, are eagerly awaiting Season Five. I am desperate to create some designs based on the House Sigils, but I need to have a think about how they will translate onto glass. The idea is simmering there on the back burner.
It's funny how my viewing habits stimulate my creative juices – does anyone else find this? I received the box set 'How to Train your Dragon'' 1&2 for Christmas. I am so in love with Toothless! I wanna dragon! So, of course I had to create a Toothless design. Who wouldn't want a Night Fury peering over the top of their glass? When I showed a sneak preview on my Facebook page, I immediately had requests not only for Toothless, but for Stormfly and Hookfang too, so back to the drawing board to work out some little friends for the Toothless glass.
Another designs triggered by current viewing trends is the Winchester glass, totally inspired by Supernatural! I can never decide whether I'm Team Dean or Team Sam, but I know that recently I've been kinda steering towards Team Charlie! I hope she's in more episodes coz I love a bit of Geek Girl Chic!
I'm quite sad that the Middle Earth series seems to have come to an end. What am I going to do without my fix of Middle Earth to look forward to each winter? Poor Peter Jackson must be exhausted after, what is it? Ten years? But how wonderful to do that as a job! To spend your working days in Middle Earth! So, to celebrate the end of an era, I just had to create a 'One Ring' glass. I've been inspired by the LOTR and the Hobbit before, it's been a lifelong love affair for me.
Wow, I sound like I spend my life watching TV! I must admit, if I'm working or painting, I do tend to have films or box sets on in the background.
Right, off to do some work then….catch up soon!

AAA TV (FRI) 05/17/2013 Gimnasio Miguel Hidalgo de Puebla
1) Lucky Boy & Niño de Ébano vs Carta Brava Jr. & Fresero Jr.
2) Axel, Dinastía, Pimpinela Escarlata vs Argos, Mamba, Mini Abismo Negro
3) Faby Apache & La Jarochita vs La Hechicera & Mary Apache
4) Alan Stone, El Elegido, Toscano vs ?, Halloween, Psicosis
5) Fénix, Heavy Metal, La Parka vs Chessman, Parka Negra, Pentagón Jr.
6) Blue Demon Jr., El Mesías, Electroshock vs Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Silver King, Texano Jr.
Air Date: I have no idea! Nothing really makes sense until they explain what the Evolucion tapings are for, and AAA doesn't like explaining things, they like just throwing them out like so many darts. Nothing really makes sense until stuff starts to air. This one probably can't air until 05/24 at the soonest, so let's say that and 06/01.
It still seems like they're killing time, and this is about the second to last taping before TripleMania. Pacing remains an issue. On the good side, you can't spoil anything when nothing is happening.
I say "hey, Consejo's done" and there's Consejo in the main event. To lose unless Demon & Mesias fight, but there they are. Maybe they'll get to split up? Maybe they'll get to react to being on different brands? It's amusing to see none of the luchadors on Twitter react to being drafted to one brand or another, as if they don't care because it's actually totally meaningless. As if!
Mystery spot in the fourth seems like it should be Ricky Marvin. I wonder who it'll actually be.
I'm alright with Axel being slotted at the Argenis level, though I have no idea why he started off in argument with Daga if that's where he's at.
Maximum Velocidad are tecnicos this week. Fresero Jr. is my favorite member of the Shield.
Taping Schedule
30 27: Chilpancingo (Evolucion)
05/12: Durango (???)
05/17: Puebla (Sin Limite)
05/24: Madero/Tampico (????)
06/16: Mexico City (TripleMania)
I've been told, but haven't been able to confirm, that there's even 2 more tapings in May yet to be announced, one of which sounds like it's a Fusion taping based on the proximity to Mexico City. So much TV.

BEIRUT, Lebanon, Oct. 11 (UPI) -- The Middle East's cyberwar with Israel and the United States on one side and Iran on the other is steadily escalating, with increasingly sophisticated cyber weapons being used against a growing array of military and economic targets.
The region has become a hot cyber battleground, a testing ground for a new form of warfare that in its most strategic form can knock out a country's economic system without firing a shot.
The United States, Britain and Israel have been zapping Iran's nuclear installations, and more recently its oil industry, for three years. Tehran claims these powers are preparing a "massive cyberattack" against it as Iran is locked in an increasingly tense confrontation with the United States in the Persian Gulf.
In June, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak publicly acknowledged the Jewish state was conducting a cyber offensive against Iran aimed at crippling Tehran's contentious nuclear program.
"We're preparing to be at the front line of the worldwide cyber battle, both in civil and security systems," he told a Tel Aviv conference.
Iran has been the target of several cyberattacks by the United States and Israel since 2009. Particularly Iran's uranium enrichment program, the core of the nuclear militarization process, was affected.
It was the primary target of the so-called Stuxnet computer virus first used in 2009 and again in 2010. Those attacks sabotaged the enrichment process but Iran was able to restore it.
Computer experts say Stuxnet was created by the Americans and Israelis.
Iran's nuclear program came under cyberattack in June, this time from an even more virulent cyber weapon identified as W32.Flame. This one not only penetrates a system but can steal sensitive data and turn on cameras and computer microphones to obtain additional data or change settings on computer systems.
The day Flame was discovered, Israel's deputy premier, Moshe Yaalon, dropped broad hints the Jewish state's intelligence services were behind the cyberattack.
"These achievements of ours open all kinds of possibilities for us," he said.
The Iranians have not been idle and are no doubt striving to develop countermeasures or offensive malware to retaliate against the West.
Indeed, in recent weeks there have been clear indications they've struck back. Israeli defense sources say the military's communications network has been attacked.
On Aug. 15, a mystery virus infected 30,000 desktop computers at the headquarters of Saudi Arabia's state oil company, Aramco, the world's largest oil company and the principal source of revenue for the Saudi monarchy.
The attack on the world's leading oil producer, which provides about 1-10th of the world's oil supplies, was claimed by a group calling itself "the Cutting Sword of Justice."
Iran and Saudi Arabia are old rivals engaged in an escalating intelligence war.
The Saudis say the virus, known as "Shamoon," wiped Aramco's computers' hard drives but didn't damage technical operations.
Aramco said its main internal network services were soon restored but the Financial Times reported Aug. 30 that oil traders in Houston, Geneva and London were communicating with Aramco by fax and telex because the digital systems were down.
"It's like going back 20 years in time," one trader commented.
The lesson was stark: a major disruption of the company's production networks, carried out by a technologically advanced attacker, would have had a major impact on world energy supplies and the global economy.
The attack appeared to be the work of hackers rather than state intelligence services like the CIA or Israel's Mossad, although it may have been a "false flag" operation.
Soon after the Aramco attack, the IT network at Qatar's RasGas, one of the world's largest natural gas producers, was also hit in a cyberattack.
These were the first known cyber assaults to target Middle Eastern companies involved in supplying global energy requirements.
In April, Iran's Oil Ministry and the National Oil Co. were hit, forcing them to disconnect control systems at several key oil facilities, including the large export terminal at Kharg Island in the northern gulf.
In August, Israel was hit in what appeared to be a retaliatory Iranian cyberattack using a Trojan horse virus dubbed "Mahdi" because it contained Persian words in the programming code.

Lincoln Boys Display Class To School That Beat Them
I got an email from a Lincoln High School mom with the subject "PLEASE READ." Normally I'm cynical of such emails, but I bit and read it. I'm glad I did.
In the email was a link to a blog post on the Minnesota High School League's website written by Media Specialist John Millea. He posted an email he received from a Bruce at Marshall High School following their game with Sioux Falls Lincoln on Friday night.
The short version of this story is that the Patriot boys had just lost their first game of the year to Marshall, which is never easy to swallow for a competitive athlete. After changing and leaving the locker room, they saw people moving gymnastics equipment into the gym for an event the next day. The LHS boys didn't wallow in their loss. They dropped their bags and helped the crews haul the gear to the gym with smiles on their faces -- all while, I'm sure, being in a less than great mood after their first loss of the year.
I was a "good enough" sport at Beresford High School. I was never the first to talk trash or take a cheap shot, though I may have been the second to do so if I thought no one was looking. Our football coach always preached that we have "Purple Pride," conduct ourselves with class on and off the field, never trash talk our opponent, or argue with officials. Though it never happened, I knew he would have benched the best player on our team for the rest of the game if he did something dirty. But I don't remember him saying we should help Harrisburg set up the gym for a volleyball tournament the next day after they beat us. I can safely say that when I was 17 I would not have been so helpful to the school of a rival team that had just beat me. But these guys were.
Officiating high school football for the last five years, I have seen a lot of both good and bad sportsmanship. During a game on a swampy, rainy night a few years ago I witnessed a great example of class. A visiting player had a potentially serious neck injury. (We later heard that the young man was fine.) The ambulance was brought onto the field to take the player away, digging a pair of two-inch-deep trenches into the field. The heavy vehicle got stuck in the mud. Players from both teams got behind the ambulance to push it out. While they failed to get it moving, I thought it was really neat that they just did it with out being asked. It was instinctual for the dozen or so high school boys to help. In fact they had to be told to stop helping because there was potential for them to get hurt if they stayed.
To the Lincoln High basketball boys: Atta boy! I hope you enjoyed the Powerade you got for your work.

When it comes to the value of your home, why should you know exactly how much it's worth? You already own it, so what's the difference? Well, whether you plan to sell in the next year or stay put forever, knowing your home's value is fundamental to helping you build your financial foundation.
But why? Two major reasons: insurance and taxes.
An undervalued home means undervalued insurance
Your homeowners' coverage is determined by the appraised value of your home. This value is established by a professional appraiser who physically inspects the property, including your roof, foundation, and in many cases, the interior of your home, to determine your appraised home value.
This dollar figure is used to calculate coverage needed for either the "actual cash value" or the "replacement cost" of your home. If you've made improvements that could impact your home value, you'll want to let your insurance agent know so he or she can help you get the proper coverage. An annual review of your insurance coverage with your agent can be a great way to stay current on the value of your home.
An overvalued home means higher taxes
Taxes on your home and property are based on another value called the assessed value. This value is determined by your city, county or state, and is often different from your appraised value because it is not based on a physical appraisal of the property, but rather an assessment of historical sales of similar properties in a similar area.
Your assessed home value is sent to you annually, or you can access it on your local city, county or state assessor's website. By keeping track of your home's assessed value, you'll be able to better understand changes to your property taxes and keep from being over-taxed as the value of your home changes with the real estate market.
Your home is one of your most valuable assets. By knowing your home and property value, you can protect yourself and your family from extra expenses if the unexpected happens.

Programs \ Maine Heritage Orchard \ Blackbird Rise Tree Donation
Cole's Quince, a Maine heritage apple variety.
More varieties
The farmers at Blackbird Rise in Palermo are pleased to announce a fundraiser for The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) to support its educational programs.
For every $25 you contribute to MOFGA, you will receive a 2-year-old, grafted, MOFGA certified organic apple tree as thanks for your support!
Each tree will be one of nearly 100 varieties of rare and historic Maine apples found in the Maine Heritage Orchard. These pieces of Maine's pomological history are available while supplies last!
The Maine Heritage Orchard will be home to hundreds of rare and important historic Maine apples. Many of these varieties have been nearly lost to history and are not available to the public, commercially or otherwise.
As an extension of this preservation effort, we also want to repopulate the dooryards and orchards of the state with these heirloom apples, protecting and sharing this critical genetic diversity and cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
Because some of these varieties are so rare, we are looking for stewards who would be willing to be contacted in the future for scionwood should anything happen to the sister tree in the Heritage Orchard collection.
Trees will be available for pick-up at the Spring Orchard Planting event that will be held at MOFGA in Unity on April 12, 2014. There you can learn how to plant and care for your tree.
To contribute, simply download the form and mail it with a check made out to MOFGA.

Basic Camera Directions Every Screenwriter Should Know
As a screenwriter, you compose the blueprint everyone involved in a movie uses: the actors for dialogue, the director for composing scenes, and the camera operators for camera shots. You can actually use camera direction to evoke mood and emotion, so it's in your interest to become familiar with the information on camera angles in the following list:
|Angle on: This shot suggests another view of a previous shot.
|Montage: The dissolving of two or more shots into each other to create a desired effect, usually an association of ideas. These shots need not include the main character, and they don't have a beginning, middle, and end.
|Close-up: A close-up is a shot that emphasizes a detail in a scene. It's often abbreviated to CU.
|O.S.: Shorthand for off-screen, this abbreviation is used when a character speaks outside the camera's view, or when the audience hears a sound but can't see where it's coming from.
|Continuation: When a scene or a speech is interrupted by a page break, type MORE in parentheses at the end of the last line on the first page, and then type CONT'D after the character's name on the next page.
|POV: Shorthand for point of view, this direction implies that the scene is being viewed from another character's perspective. You must identify whose point of view it is and what exactly he sees. If the POV alternates within a scene, employ the term REVERSE POV.
|Dissolve to: This direction is used when you want to suggest a slow transition from one scene to the next. You may dissolve to suggest the passage of time between one shot and another or to suggest one image fading into the next.
|Series of shots: This technique abridges action sequences into a number of short moments involving the main character, usually without dialogue. A series of shots has a distinct beginning, middle and end, and is often used to dramatize a passage of time.
|Fade in: Every screenplay begins with these words. They suggest the movement from darkness to an image on the screen. They're typed in all caps at the left-hand margin followed by a double space and the first slug line.
|Split screen: This shot indicates two subjects in different locations on-screen simultaneously.
|Fade out: These words end a screenplay. They're typed to the right-hand margin and followed by six spaces and the words THE END in the center of the page.
|Super: Shorthand for superimpose, this term is used if another element is being superimposed over the action of a scene. A super is often used to show dates, locations, or translation texts.
|Insert: A writer uses this direction to highlight an object in the scene or include a detail that's outside the scene but important to it. To complete an insert, do one of three things: Return to the dialogue, switch locations with a new slug line, or type BACK TO SCENE at the end.
|V.O.: Shorthand for voice-over. This direction is used when the audience hears a character speak above the action of a scene. It's often used for narration.
|Intercut: This direction indicates that two scenes are occurring simultaneously in separate locations. This term appears in all caps as the slug line or in the description.

A Response to Gruber on RomneyCare & Health Care Costs
I just came across this letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal from MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. I don't know how to confine myself to just one of the letter's many problems. So brace yourselves, here comes the fisk.
Joseph Rago's article on Massachusetts health-care reform ("The Massachusetts Health-Care 'Train Wreck'," op-ed, July 7) is exactly the type of selectively misleading use of facts upon which opponents of health-care reform have been relying over the past year.
No comment, other than remember the phrase "selectively misleading use of facts."
Health-care reform in Massachusetts has covered 60% of the state's uninsured, has done so at roughly the cost projected before reform was enacted in 2006, and remains overwhelmingly popular with the residents of the state.
Regarding coverage gains, Massachusetts officials used to claim that RomneyCare reduced the share of uninsured residents from around 10 percent to 2.6 percent. In a study released this year, Aaron Yelowitz (a former student and coauthor of Gruber's) and I show why that figure is too low and why the actual figure is likely 5.1 percent or higher. The study on which Gruber relies -- like all other such studies -- neither mentions nor attempts to measure the problem that Yelowitz and I identified: uninsured Massachusetts residents appear to be responding to the individual mandate by concealing their lack of insurance, which would inflate the coverage gains. Since that study obtained results similar to our results for Massachusetts adults, that study's estimate of a 60-percent reduction in the uninsured appears to be an upper-bound estimate, rather than a point estimate.
Regarding costs, I haven't seen any updated numbers since the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation's whitewash from May 2009. I'd like to see an updated, non-whitewashed report on actual spending and how it compares to the original projections, especially considering that in 2006, the Kaiser Family Foundation reported that Massachusetts "anticipates that no additional funding will be needed beyond three years." Updated figures would also allow us to judge how much RomneyCare spent per newly insured resident.
The state has seen a decline in its nongroup premiums of more than 50% relative to national trends...It reduced the costs to individuals of purchasing insurance...[an] enormous reduction relative to pre-reform...
Here's where Gruber engages in his own "selectively misleading use of facts." Yes, non-group premiums appear to have fallen for the 4 percent of residents in the non-group market -- because RomneyCare shifted those costs to workers with job-based coverage.
It is true that reform has not slowed the growth of group health-insurance premiums, which have continued to rise at exactly the same rate as in the nation as a whole.
The first part of this sentence is an understatement; the second part is false. This report from the left-wing Commonwealth Fund shows that premiums in Massachusetts are growing faster than anywhere else in the nation. And the only study that has tried to isolate the effect of RomneyCare finds that it increased premiums for employment-based coverage by 6 percent (see cost-shifting, above).
Despite Gov. Mitt Romney's claims, the Massachusetts reform was not designed to slow the growth of health-care cost growth.
It should be obvious by now that RomneyCare wasn't designed that way. But it sure was sold that way. And so was ObamaCare. Any bets on how long before we hear apologists for both claiming that ObamaCare wasn't designed to slow cost growth?
The PPACA also includes a series of changes that represent the best thinking about how to control costs, such as an independent rate-setting board for Medicare, pilots of innovative medical reimbursement approaches, and an end to the open-ended tax subsidy to the highest cost health insurance plans in the U.S. None of these is guaranteed to slow the rate of cost growth. But each is better than doing nothing, which was the alternative.
So the, ahem, best thinking on how to contain health care costs is (1) price and exchange controls set by (2) an unelected and unaccountable rationing board, plus (3) taxing health insurance. Bra-vo. Sure, Obama's National Economic Council chairman Larry Summers says, "Price and exchange controls inevitably create harmful economic distortions. Both the distortions and the economic damage get worse with time." But when the alternative is nothing -- nothing! -- that means the bar for "best thinking" isn't very high.
In the end, it is impossible to control health-care costs without first bringing as many citizens as possible into our health-insurance system.
As I blogged earlier today, it does not speak well of the Left's approach to health care that in order to reduce wasteful government spending -- or at least pretend to -- they must first create more wasteful government spending.

I have read the disclaimer. *Disclaimer
Mr. Godoy is a great Lawyer, as well as his staff. He was always on point and always on top of things. He had great communication with us, and with my father even though he was in custody, he would even let us talk to him. I want to Thank Mr. Godoy and all his staff for the great hard work they did. Everything was a smooth process and great communication. Everything came out like we wanted. My father was out of immigration custody in 11 months. Our life has gone back to normal. Thanks to Mr. Godoy and his wonderful staff for helping us maintain our family together. I would highly recommend Mr. Godoy and his staff.
I am a repeat client of Godoy Law Office I will definitely continue to use Godoy Law Office in the future. Every time I have a legal need Godoy Law Office has been there to help guide me through. I would recommend them to all my friends and family.
Mario, Michael and Herbert are outstanding. Everything was done in a very professional manner. My wife and I are extremely happy with their services. We will continue to use Godoy Law Office. We are recommending them to are friends. They know exactly what is needed. They ensured that all the 'i's were dotted and the 't's were crossed. Everything went very smoothly. They have the experience to get it done right the first time.
I am so happy we did not try and muddle our way through the paperwork alone. They were a god-send.
Mario and his team built a strong immigration case for me even though odds of winning it were not favorable. He was very patient and took his time to take care of every detail. Great outcome in the end, got both applications approved by USCIS. Super happy with Godoy Office, I'd recommend it to anyone looking for reliable legal service. Thanks so much Mario!
I just wanted to thank you, Mr. Godoy, for all your help. Mr. Godoy helped me navigate through my complex case. I was really lost in the immigration process and Mr. Godoy figured out where the problem was and resolved it. He is very smart lawyer, personable, incredibly friendly, and reliable. I would highly recommend his law firm. I will definitely be working with him should I need any help in legal matters in the future. Thanks again Mr. Godoy!
My experience with Godoy was completely satisfactory and pleasurable. Mario, Kimberly, and Michael guided my wife and I through the months-long process of petitioning for my wife's status adjustment with expertise, patience, and responsiveness. Their attention to detail, and offering of important advice, based on experience, was indispensable every step of the way. Kimberly was especially helpful in responding to my late night questions (due to my own schedule) almost immediately, either with an answer or a promise to follow up, even when i certainly didn't expect a quick response.
I would recommend Godoy to anyone in a heartbeat. In fact, they will be handling another issue for my family, to guide us through the process of getting a Certificate of Citizenship for my foreign-born daughter who was adopted before the relevant immigration laws changed in 2001 (which i didn't even realize until recently).

The City of Round Rock and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) are seeking public input on proposed changes to improve safety and accessibility on RM 620 between Deepwood Drive and IH 35.
There was an Open House meeting Jan. 23 where displays of the project area and other project information were available for review.
Displays shown at the Open House and other information concerning the project are available for review at City of Round Rock transportation offices at 2008 Enterprise Drive and at the TxDOT Georgetown Area Office at 2727 S. Austin Ave., Georgetown.
The proposed project would entail two primary elements. The first element would be a bridge to carry RM 620 traffic over the Union Pacific Railroad and Chisholm Trail Road. In order to maintain access to businesses and residences in the vicinity of the proposed bridge, at-grade local access roads would be constructed between Lake Creek Drive and Chisholm Trail Road.
The second element would be a bridge at Lake Creek Drive. This proposed bridge would carry RM 620 traffic over Lake Creek Drive; thus, eliminating the existing at-grade intersection. The purpose of the proposed project is to improve safety and enhance mobility in the project area.
The project area is within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. The proposed project would not cross a floodplain nor encroach upon a wetland. Approximately five acres of additional right-of-way and one acre of temporary construction easement would be necessary to accommodate the proposed project. Acquisition of the right-of-way would result in commercial and residential displacements.
Written comments may be mailed to Stacey Benningfield, Environmental Specialist, Texas Department of Transportation – Austin District, P.O. Drawer 15426, Austin, Texas 78761-5426 or faxed to (512) 832-7157 (Attn: Stacey Benningfield). All comments received on/or before Monday, Feb. 4, 2013, will be included in the official record of the Open House.

Maybe it was all the food. You see, I ate more on Thanksgiving Day and in the days following than I normally do. It was just so good.
For my mother and my husband, I prepared a small turkey breast — and I can't tell you how hard it was to find a small one. The grocery store I went to had a 10 pounder! A ten pound turkey breast! I would hate to have seen the rest of the bird.

Italy Journal, A Pear Shaped House

Love your pear shaped house. A woman's art hut. Those steps are so wonderful. My husband came back from Italy and was telling me about the stone and cobbled streets he saw, mentioning the colors. Love the greens I kept seeing as you flipped through the pages. Thanks for sharing! It's wonderful to see you working, I like watching women's hands as they create.

Game Over: World's Largest eBay Video Game Collection Sells For $1.23 Million
Holy Halo, Batman. The world's largest video game collection ever sold on eBay fetched a whopping $1.23 million dollars. That's 1.23 million gold coins Mario would have to collect to afford such a massive library of awesome.
eBay seller Collector's King is now a rich man after his gigantic collection sold for €999,999.99 ($1.23 million). How many games is that? Over 22,000 titles in 22 full sets of games. The auction included every Famicom (NES) game ever made. Even the rare ones you can never find separately. All in near mint condition in their boxes with instructions.
It also included every Famicom Disk game, every Virtual Boy game, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Nintendo DD64, Gamecube, Sega Master System, Game Gear, Mega Drive, 32X, Mega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, PC Engine, NEC, and Pioneer Laseractive game. Did we miss anything? Probably.
It's the biggest video game system anyone has ever seen. eBay or not. The buyer will probably sell most of them in chunks unless they have a place to store all of these games so they can host the biggest nerd party ever thrown on the planet. What would you do with so many games?
Pictures alone can't do this auction justice. But if you want to see all of the pics for yourself, and the gigantic list of games that he sold, then head over to the eBay listing. The listing was every gamer's dream auction. Too bad 99.9% of us don't have a million bucks to throw around. Guess we'll just have to make do with our paltry collection of opened SNES games sitting in a cardboard box.
