HONORIA divested herself of her travelling‐cap, thrust her hands into the pockets of her frieze ulster, and thus, bare‐headed, a tall, supple, solitary figure, paced the railway platform in the dusk. Above the gentle undulations of the western horizon splendours of rose‐crimson sunset were outspread, veiled, as they flamed upward, by indigo cloud of the texture and tenuity of finest gauze. And those same rose‐crimson splendours found repetition upon the narrow, polished surface of the many lines of rails, causing them to stand out, as though of red‐hot metal, from the undeterminate grey‐drab of the track where it curved away, south‐eastward, across the darkening country towards the Savoy Alps. And from out the fastnesses of these last, quick with the bleak purity of snow, came a breathing of evening wind. To Honoria it brought refreshing emphasis of silence, and of immunity from things human and things mechanical. It spoke to her of virgin and unvisited spaces, ignorant of mankind and of obligation to his so many and so insistent needs. And there being in Honoria herself a kindred defiance of subjection, a determination, so to speak, of physical and emotional chastity, she welcomed these intimations of the essential inviolability of nature, finding in them justification and support of her own mental attitude—of the entire wisdom of which she had, it must be owned, grown slightly suspicious of late.page: 491
And this was the more grateful to her, not only as contrast to the noise and dust of a lengthy and hurriedly‐undertaken journey; but because that same journey had been suddenly, and, in a sense violently, imposed upon one whom she held in highest regard, by another whom she had long since agreed with herself to hold in no sort of regard at all. Since the highly‐regarded one set forth, she—Honoria—of course, set forth likewise. And yet, in good truth, the whole affair rubbed her not a little the wrong way! She recognised in it a particularly flagrant example of masculine aggression. Some persons, as she reflected, are permitted an amount of elbow‐room altogether disproportionate to their deserts. Be sufficiently selfish, sufficiently odious, and everybody becomes your humble servant, hat in hand! That is unfair. It is, indeed, quite extensively exasperating to the dispassionate onlooker. And, in Miss St. Quentin's case, exasperation was by no means lessened by the fact that candour compelled her to admit doubt not only as to the actuality of her own dispassionateness, but, as has already been stated, as to the wisdom of her mental attitude generally. She wanted to think and feel one way. She was more than half afraid she was much disposed to think and feel quite another way. This was worrying. And, therefore, it came about that Honoria hailed the present interval of silence and solitude, striving to put from her remembrance both the origin and object of her journey, while filling her lungs with the snow‐fed purity of the mountain wind and yielding her spirit to the somewhat serious influences of surrounding nature. All too soon the great Paris‐express would thunder into the station. The heavy, horse‐box‐like sleeping‐car—now standing on the Culoz‐Geneva‐Bâle siding—would be coupled to the rear of it. Then the roar and rush would begin again—from dark to dawn, and on through the long, bright hours to dark once more, by mountain gorge, and stifling tunnel, and broken woodland, and smiling coast‐line, and fertile plain, past Chambéry, and Turin, and Bologna, and mighty Rome herself, until the journey was ended and distant Naples reached at last.
But Miss St. Quentin's communings with nature were destined to speedy interruption. Ludovic Quayle's elongated person, clothed to the heels in a check travelling‐coat, detached itself from the company of waiting passengers, and blue‐linen‐clad porters, upon the central platform before the main block of station buildings, and made its light and active way across the intervening lines of crimson‐stained metals.
"If I am a nuisance mention that chastening fact without hesitation," he said, standing on the railway track and looking page: 492 up at her with his air of very urbane intelligence. "Present circumstances permit us the privilege—or otherwise—of laying aside restraints of speech, along with other small proprieties of behaviour commonly observed by the polite. So don't spare my feelings, dear Miss St. Quentin. If I am a bore, tell me so; and I will return, and that without any lurking venom in my breast, whence I came."
"Do anything you please," Honoria replied, "except be run over by the Paris train."
"The Paris train, so I have just learned, is an hour late, consequently its arrival hardly enters into the question. But, since you are graciously pleased to bid me do as I like, I stay," Mr. Quayle returned, stepping on to the platform and turning to pace beside her.—"What a gaol delivery it is to get into the open! That last engine of ours threw ashes to a truly penitential extent. My mouth and throat still claim unpleasantly close relation to a neglected, kitchen grate. And if our much vaunted wagon‐lits is the last word of civilisation in connection with travel, then all I can say is that, in my humble opinion, civilisation has yet a most exceedingly long way to go. It really is a miraculously uncomfortable vehicle. And how Lady Calmady contrives to endure its eccentricities of climate and of motion, I'm sure I don't know."
"In her case the end would make any sort of means supportable," Honoria answered.
Her pacings had brought her to the extreme end of the platform where it sloped to the level of the track. She stood there a moment, her head thrown back, snuffing the wind as a hind, breaking covert, stands and snuffs it. A spirit of questioning possessed her, though not—as in the hind's case—of things concrete and material. It is true she could have dispensed with Mr. Quayle's society. She did not want him. But he had shown himself so full of resource, so considerate and helpful, ever since the news of Sir Richard Calmady's desperate state had broken up the peace of the little party at Ormiston Castle, now five days ago, that she forgave him even his preciousness of speech, even his slightly irritating superiority of manner. She had ceased to be on her guard with him during these days of travel, had come to take his presence for granted and to treat him with the comfortable indifference of honest good‐fellowship. So, it happened that now, speaking with him, she continued to follow out her existing train of thought.
"I'm by no means off my head about poor Dickie Calmady," she said presently,—"specially where Cousin Katherine is con‐ page: 493 cerned. I couldn't go on caring about anybody, irrespective of their conduct, just because they were they. And yet I can't help seeing it must be tremendously satisfying to feel like that."
"A thousand pardons," Ludovic murmured, "but like what?"
"Why as Cousin Katherine feels—just whole‐heartedly, without analysis, and without alloy—to feel that no distance, no fatigue, no nothing in short, matters, so long as she gets to him in time. I don't approve of such a state of mind, and yet"—Honoria wheeled round, facing the glory of colour dyeing all the west—"and yet, I'm untrue enough to my own principles rather to envy it."
She sighed, and that sigh her companion noted and filed for reference. Indeed, an unusually expansive cheerfulness became perceptible in Mr. Quayle.
"By‐the‐bye, is there any further news?" she inquired.
"General Ormiston has just had a telegram."
"Anything fresh?"
"Still unconscious, strength fairly maintained."
"Oh! we know that by heart!" Honoria said.
"We do. And we know the consequences of it—the sweet little see‐saw of hope and fear, productive of unlimited discussion and anxiety. No weak letting one stand at ease about that telegram! It keeps one's nose hard down on the grindstone."
"If he dies," Honoria said slowly, "if he dies—poor, dear Cousin Katherine!—When can we hear again?"
"At Turin," Mr. Quayle replied.
Then they both fell silent until the far end of the platform was reached. And there, once more, Honoria paused, her small head carried high, her serious eyes fixed upon the sunset. The rosy light falling upon her failed to disguise the paleness of her face or its slight angularity of line. She was a little worn and travel‐stained, a little dishevelled even. Yet to her companion she had rarely appeared more charming. She might be tired, she might even be somewhat untidy; but her innate distinction remained—nay, gained, so he judged, by suggestion of rough usage endured. Her absolute absence of affectation, her unselfconsciousness, her indifference to adventitious prettinesses of toilet, her transparent sincerity, were very entirely approved by Ludovic Quayle.
"Yes, that see‐saw of hope and fear must be an awful ordeal, feeling as she does," Miss St. Quentin said presently. "And yet, even so, I am uncertain. I can't help wondering which really is best!"page: 494
"Again a thousand pardons," the young man put in, "but I venture to remind you that I was not cradled in the fore‐court of the temple of the Pythian Apollo, but only in the nursery of a conspicuously philistine, English country‐house."
For the first time during their conversation Honoria looked full at him. Her glance was very friendly, yet it remained meditative, even a trifle sad.
"Oh! I know, I'm fearfully inconsequent," she said. "But my head is simply rattled to pieces by that beastly wagon‐lits. I had gone back to what I was thinking about before you joined me, and to what we were saying just now about Cousin Katherine."
"Yes—yes, exactly," Ludovic put in tentatively. She was going to give herself away—he was sure of it. And such giving away might make for opportunity. In spirit, the young man proceeded to take his shoes from off his feet. The ground on which he stood might prove to be holy. Moreover Miss St. Quentin's direct acts of self‐revelation were few and far between. He was horribly afraid those same shoes of his might creak, so to speak, thereby startling her into watchfulness, making her draw back. But Honoria did not draw back. She was too much absorbed by her own thought. She continued to contemplate the glory of the flaming west, her expression touched by a grave and noble exaltation.
"I suppose one can't help worrying a little at times—it's laid hold of me very much during the last month or two—as to what is really the finest way to take life. One wants to arrive at that fairly early; not by a process of involuntary elimination, on the burnt‐child‐fears‐the‐fire sort of principle, when the show's more than half over, as so many people do. One wants to get hold of the stick by the right end now, while one's still comparatively young, and then work straight along. I want my reason to be the backbone of my action, don't you know, instead of merely the push of society and friendship, and superficial odds and ends of so‐called obligation to other people."
"Yes," Mr. Quayle put in again.
"Now, it seems to me, that"—Honoria extended one hand towards the sunset—"is Cousin Katherine's outlook on life and humanity, full of colour, full of warmth. It burns with a certain prodigality of beauty, a superb absence of economy in giving. And that"—with a little shrug of her shoulders she turned towards the severe, and sombre, eastern landscape—"that, it strikes me, comes a good deal nearer my own. Which is best?"
Mr. Quayle congratulated himself upon the removal of his page: 495 shoes. The ground was holy—holy to the point of embarrassment even to so unabashable and ready‐tongued a gentleman as himself. He answered with an unusual degree of diffidence.
"An intermediate position is neither wholly inconceivable nor' wholly untenable, perhaps."
"And you occupy it? Yes, you are very neatly balanced. But then, do you really get anywhere?"
"Is not that a rather knavish speech, dear Miss St. Quentin?" the young man inquired mildly.
"I don't know," she answered, "I wish to goodness I did."
Now was here god‐given opportunity, or merely a cunningly devised snare for the taking of the unwary? Ludovic pondered the matter. He gently kicked a little pebble from the dingy grey‐drab of the asphalt on to the permanent way. It struck one of the metals with a sharp click. A blue‐linen‐clad porter, short of stature and heavy of build, lighted the gas lamps along the platform. The flame of these wavered at first, and flickered, showing thin and will‐o'‐the‐wisp‐like against the great outspread of darkening country across which the wind came with a certain effect of harshness and barrenness—the inevitable concomitant of its inherent purity. And the said wind treated Miss St. Quentin somewhat discourteously, buffeting her, obliging her to put up both hands to push back stray locks of hair. Also the keen breath of it pierced her, making her shiver a little. Both of which things her companion noting took heart of grace.
"Is it permitted to renew a certain petition?" he asked, in a low voice.
Honoria shook her head.
"' Better not, I think," she said.
"And yet, dear Miss St. Quentin, pulverised though I am by the weight of my own unworthiness, I protest that petition is not wholly foreign to the question you did me the honour to ask me just now."
"Oh! dear me! You always contrive to bring it round to that!" she exclaimed, not without a hint of petulance.
"Far from it," the young man returned. "For a good, solid eighteen months, now, I have displayed the accumulated patience of innumerable asses."
"Of course, I see what you're driving at," she continued hastily. "But it is not original. It's just every man's stock argument."
"If it bears the hall‐mark of hoary antiquity, so much the better. I entertain a reverence for precedent. And honestly, as common sense goes, I am not ashamed of that of my sex."page: 496
Miss St. Quentin resumed her walk.
"You really think it stands in one's way," she said reflectively, "you really think it a disadvantage, to be a woman?"
"Oh! good Lord!" Mr. Quayle ejaculated, softly yet with an air so humorously aghast that it could leave no doubt as to the nature of his sentiments. Then he cursed himself for a fool. His shoes indeed had made a mighty creaking! He expected an explosion of scornful wrath. He admitted he deserved it. It did not come.
Miss St. Quentin looked at him, for a moment, almost piteously. He fancied her mouth quivered and that her eyes filled with tears. Then she turned and swung away with her long, easy, even stride. Mentally the young man took himself by the throat, conscience‐stricken at having humiliated her, at having caused her to fall, even momentarily, from the height of her serene, maidenly dignity. For once he became absolutely uncritical, careless of appearances. He fairly ran after her along the platform.
"Dear Miss St. Quentin," he called to her, in tones of most persuasive apology.
But Honoria's moment of piteousness was past. She had recovered all her habitual lazy and gallant grace when he came up with her.
"No—no," she said. "Hear me. I began this rather foolish conversation. I laid myself open to—well to a snubbing. I got one, anyhow!"
"In mercy don't rub it in!" Mr. Quayle murmured contritely.
"But I did," Honoria returned. "Now it's over and I'm going to pick up the pieces and put them back in their places‐just where they were before."
"But I protest!—I hailed a new combination. I discover in myself no wild anxiety to have the pieces put back just where they were before."
"Oh yes, you do!" Honoria declared. "At least, you certainly will when I explain it to you."—She paused.—"You see," she said, "it is like this. Living with and watching Cousin Katherine, I have come to know all that side of things at its very finest."
"Forgive me.—It? What? May I recall to you the fact of the philistine nursery?"
The young lady's delicate face straightened.
"You know perfectly well what I mean," she said.—" That which we all think about so constantly, and yet affect to speak page: 497 of as a joke or a slight impropriety—love, marriage, motherhood."
"Yes, Lady Calmady is a past‐master in those arts," Mr. Quayle replied.—Again the ground was holy. He was conscious his pulse quickened.
"The beauty of it all, as one sees it in her case, breaks one up a little. There is no laugh left in one about those things. One sees that to her they are of the nature of religion—a religion pure and undefiled, a new way of knowing God and of bringing oneself into line with the truth as it is in Him. But, having once seen that, one can decline upon no lower level. One grows ambitious. One will have it that way or not at all."
Honoria paused again. The bleak wind buffeted her. But she was no longer troubled or chilled by it, rather did it brace her to greater fearlessness of resolve and of speech.
"You are contemptuous of women," she said.
"I have betrayed characteristics of the ass, other than its patience," Ludovic lamented.
"Oh! I didn't mean that," Honoria returned, smiling in friendliest fashion upon him. "Every man worth the name really feels as you do, I imagine. I don't blame you. Possibly I am growing a trifle shaky as to feminine superiority, and woman spelled with a capital letter, myself. I'm awfully afraid she is safest—for herself and others—under slight restraint, in a state of mild subjection. She's not quite to be trusted, either intellectually or emotionally—at least, the majority of her isn't. If she got her head, I've a dreadful suspicion she would make a worse hash of creation generally than you men have made of it already, and that"—Honoria's eyes narrowed, her upper lip shortened, and her smile shone out again delightfully—"that's saying a very great deal, you know."
"My spirits rise to giddy heights," Mr. Quayle exclaimed. "I endorse those sentiments. But whence, oh, dear lady, this change of front?"
"Wait a minute. We've not got to the end of my contention yet."
"The Paris train is late. There is time. And this is all excellent hearing."
"I'm not quite so sure of that," Honoria said. "For, you see, just in proportion as I give up the fiction of her superiority, and admit that woman already has her political, domestic, and social deserts, I feel a chivalry towards her, poor, dear thing, which I never felt before. I even feel a chivalry towards the woman in myself. She claims my pity and my care in a quite new way."page: 498
"So much the better," Mr. Quayle observed, outwardly discreetly urbane, inwardly almost riotously jubilant.
"Ah! wait a minute," she repeated. Her tone changed, sobered. "I don't want to spread myself, but you know I can meet men pretty well on their own ground. I could shoot and fish as well as most of you, only that I don't think it right to take life except to provide food, or in self‐defence. There's not so much happiness going that one's justified in cutting any of it short. Even a jack‐snipe may have his little affairs of the heart, and a cock‐salmon his gamble. But I can ride as straight as you can. I can break any horse to harness you choose to put me behind. I can sail a boat and handle an axe. I can turn my hand to most practical things—except a needle. I own I always have hated a needle worse—well, worse than the devil! And I can organise, and can speak fairly well, and manage business affairs tidily. And have I not even been known—low be it spoken—to beat you at lawn tennis, and Lord Shotover at billiards?"
"And to overthrow my most Socratic father in argument. And outwit my sister Louisa in diplomacy—vide our poor, dear Dickie Calmady's broken engagement, and the excellent, scatterbrain Decies' marriage."
"But Lady Constance is happy?" Honoria put in hastily.
"Blissful, positively blissful, and with twins too! Think of it!—Decies is blissful also. His sense of humour has deteriorated since his marriage, from constant association with good, little Connie who was never distinguished for ready perception of a joke. He regards those small, simultaneous replicas of himself with unqualified complacency, which shows his appreciation of comedy must be a bit blunted."
"I wonder if it does?" Miss St. Quentin observed reflectively. Whereat Mr. Quayle permitted. himself a sound as nearly approaching a chuckle as was possible to so superior a person.
"A thousand pardons," he murmured, "but really, dear lady, you are so very much off on the other tack."
"Am I?" Miss St. Quentin said. "Well, you see—to go back to my demonstration—I've none of the quarrel with your side of things most women have, because I'm not shut out from it, and so I don't envy you. I can amuse and interest myself on your lines. And therefore I can afford to be very considerate and tender of the woman in me. I grow more and more resolved that she shall have the very finest going, or that she shall have nothing, in respect of all which belongs to her special province—in regard to love and marriage. In them she shall have what page: 499 Cousin Katherine has had, and find what Cousin Katherine has found, or all that shall be a shut book to her forever. Even if discipline and denial make her a little unhappy, poor thing, that's far better than letting her decline upon the second best."
Honoria's voice was full and sweet. She spoke from out the deep places of her thought. Her whole aspect was instinct with a calm and reasoned enthusiasm. And, looking upon her, it became Ludovic Quayle's turn to find the evening wind somewhat bleak and barren. It struck chill, and he turned away and moved westwards towards the sunset. But the rose‐crimson splendours had become faint and frail; while the indigo cloud had gathered into long, horizontal lines as of dusky smoke, so that the remaining brightness was seen as through prison bars. A sadness, indeed, seemed to hold the west, even greater than that which held the east, since it was a sadness not of beauty unborn, but of beauty dead. And this struck home to the young man. He did not care to speak. Miss St. Quentin walked beside him in silence, for a time. When at last she spoke it was very gently.
"Please don't be angry with me," she pleaded. "I like you so much that—that I'd give a great deal to be able to think less of my duty to the tiresome woman in me."
"I would give a great deal too," he declared, regardless of grammar.
"But I'm not the only woman in the world, dear Mr. Quayle," she protested presently.
"But I, unfortunately, have no use for any other," he returned.
"Ah, you distress me!" Honoria cried.
"Well, I don't know that you make me superabundantly cheerful."
Just then the far‐away shriek of a locomotive and dull thunder of an approaching train. Mr. Quayle looked once more towards the western horizon.
"Here's the Paris‐express!" he said. "We must be off if we mean to get round before our horse‐box is shunted."
He jumped down on to the permanent way. Miss St. Quentin followed him, and the two ran helter‐skelter across the many lines of metals, in the direction of the Culoz‐Geneva‐Bâle siding. That somewhat childish and undignified proceeding ministered to the restoration of good‐fellowship.
"Great passions are rare," Mr. Quayle said, laughing a little. His circulation was agreeably quickened. How surprisingly page: 500 fast this nymph‐like creature could get over the ground, and that gracefully, moreover, rather in the style of a lissome, long‐limbed youth than in that of a woman!
"Rare? I know it," she answered, the words coming short and sharply. "But I accept the risk. A thousand to one the book remains shut forever."
"And I, meanwhile, am not too proud to pass the time of day with the second best, and take refuge in the accumulated patience of innumerable asses."
And, behind them, the express train thundered into the station.

Bank procedures burden good clients with costs
As a young boy, I learned that a good bank connection was a necessary evil to get along in the world. I began as a Daily Journal carrier and had to purchase a bicycle for same. I obtained a loan of $35 to be paid back in three months. Luckily, I was able to pay the note in two months.
Over the years I have had a large number of notes with the same bank without a co-signer. I had a house constructed in Lee Acres and went to the bank to obtain a loan of $10,000 for 10 years. The banker refused the loan stating I could not afford the payments.
I left the bank and went to Community Federal where Jack Johnson took the application of a $13,500 loan. I received the loan in less than a week. I reminded Jack of the loan a short time ago and produced evidence of a closing cost of $42.50.
In order to obtain a loan at my original bank you have to complete enough (more than enough) papers for a pedigreed dog. You may get a reply in 30 – 60 days whether you will receive the loan. In any case, you will be billed for the application.
The bank charges a fee for everything they do. Do not overdraw your account as the fees for insufficient checks are outrageous. You may end up paying in excess of $100 for a $5 cup of coffee when you failed to do the math in your checking account.
Recently at this same bank, errors were caused to my account on three different occasions (three months in a row).
Since the bank charges fees for everything they do, I think they should reimburse customers for troubles caused by their errors. After all, my time means just as much as their time as I soon will be 81 years old. In fact, a fee of $100 would not be ample return for my time. After all is said and done, it is our money the bank operates on.

By Gearl Loden
Over the course of the past year, I have had the privilege of listening and learning from many stakeholders – students, teachers, parents and community members. We are fortunate to live in a community where so many care deeply about our students and our schools. Flourishing communities are the result of thriving schools where people stay engaged and ask difficult questions. In the coming school year, you will see three initiatives in our schools to address some of the issues raised and to more effectively serve our students.
The first is a commitment to expand arts integration in Pre-kindergarten through 8th grades. Subjects like reading, math, and science will be taught in and through the arts. Teaching in this manner provides a way for a child's brain to process information from the world into meaningful knowledge. Creative writing, movement, music, and visual arts give children a chance to make sense of words, images and abstract concepts; it levels the playing field for students.
For example, a third grader is introduced to new adjectives by listening to different types of music while painting. A fourth grader might learn fractions by studying the famous works of artist Pablo Picasso.
Academic growth, social and emotional development, and community engagement can be achieved through arts integration. The ancient proverb, "I hear and I forget; I see and I remember; I do and I understand," is arts integration at its core.
The second initiative is taking a focused look at early identification of at-risk students in kindergarten and first grade and exploring the option of retention. This will require difficult conversations with parents and guardians. We believe that repeating a year in a given grade may be in the best interest of a child in order to make meaningful gains and solidly master grade-level skills, especially in the critical subjects of reading and math.
Many of these students will be placed in transitional environments where they would be able catch up and be on grade- level by the end of the year. There is a growing body of research that suggests that students who repeat an early grade may achieve higher rates of proficiency in the third grade, than they would had they not repeated a grade.
Lastly, beginning next year, students in kindergarten through 5th grade will have the opportunity to participate in instructional-level grouping, also known as flexible grouping. This is a strategy for differentiating instruction allowing students to work together in a variety of ways, and in a number of arrangements. Groupings may be whole group, small group, triads, partners, individual, teacher led or student led. Grouping will depend on instructional activities, learning goals, and student needs.
When used effectively and monitored closely, this strategy allows students to learn and grow according to their skills and also encourages continual remixing of assigned groups throughout the year as assessments are given.
This practice will also allow our teachers to tailor the pace and content of instruction to both lower- and higher- achieving students. Teachers can provide needed repetition and reinforcement for low-achieving students, and an advanced and more challenging level of instruction to high achievers with our goal for all students to be on or above grade level.
Our students deserve our very best ideas and best practices. It is my expectation that these initiatives, when fully established, will support our District's maxim that if students cannot learn the way we teach, then we will teach the way they learn.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cell Tracking
Yesterday, we learned that the NSA is using Google cookies—the same cookies used for advertisements and search preferences—to track users for surveillance purposes.
These Google cookies—known as "PREF" cookies—last two years and can uniquely identify you. Sniffing one off the Internet as it goes past allows the NSA to recognize your browser whenever you interact with Google from any location or network. Every person who visits a Google site will receive a PREF cookie, regardless of whether they log in or even have an account with Google. Using Google Search without logging in tags you for two years, and that unique tag is sent over the network every time you search even if it's on a different network (or in a different country).
Alarming information about just how frequently law enforcement officials across the country (not to mention the NSA) are trying to get cell phone data, including your location, seem to be published in the news media every day. With these privacy concerns in mind, last week we filed an amicus brief in the Connecticut Appellate Court in State v. Smith, urging it to find the state police violated the Fourth Amendment when it obtained cell tower records without a search warrant.
Al igual que el año pasado y el anterior a ese, la EFF recibe las fiestas de fin de año con una nueva lista de deseos; cosas que nos encantaría que sucedieran para nosotros y cada usuario de internet en el mundo por estas fiestas. Estas son algunas de las acciones de parte de gobiernos, empresas e individuos, que nos encantaría ver en este nuevo año.
An article yesterday in the Washington Post disclosed the NSA's massive cell phone location program. The program, codenamed CO-TRAVELER, is designed to track who meets with whom and covers everyone who carries a cell phone, all around the world.
With neither public debate nor court authorization, CO-TRAVELER collects billions of records daily of cell phone user location information. It maps the relationships of cell phone users across global mobile network cables, gathering data about who you are physically with and how often your movements intersect with other cell phone users. The program even tracks when your phone is turned on or off.
As we did last year and the year before, EFF welcomes the winter season with a new wishlist of some things we'd love to have happen for the holidays—for us and for all Internet users. These are some of the actions we'd most like to see from companies, governments, organizations, and individuals in the new year.

Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer / / Saints News
Adam Lallana is winning his fitness battle and could return to the Saints squad this week.
The midfielder damaged medial knee ligaments in the win over Reading on December 8 but is on course for a return just shy of eight weeks later.
Saints were hoping to get Lallana back at the start of next month, but he may be able to return slightly ahead of schedule with the 24-year-old touch and go to make the trip to Old Trafford on Wednesday.
- Yoshida identifies the 'sauce' of Saints' problems
- THE VERDICT: Vital few weeks for Saints and Puel
- Long's Saints future remains unclear
- How Yoshida celebrated his 100th Premier League appearance
- Southampton 0-0 Hull City: Saints booed off after Tadic misses late penalty
- Puel denies Saints have St Mary's block
- Southampton 0-0 Hull City: Puel insists Saints are "angry" too
- Southampton 0-0 Hull City - as it happened
If he isn't considered ready for that game, Saints are hoping to have their captain available for the trip to Wigan on Saturdau.
It will be a welcome boost for new Saints boss Mauricio Pochetinno who will have to make the decision on whether to chuck Lallana straight in or ease him in gently from the bench.
Though Saints have been enjoying a decent run of late, they have actually only won one of the eight games in which Lallana has missed.
That solitary victory came at Aston Villa. Saints have only lost two in that period – to Sunderland and Chelsea in the FA Cup – with league draws against Fulham, Stoke, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton.
Lallana's return will also give Pochettino almost a full squad to choose from. Only centre half Jose Fonte remains out with his knee injury with the latest estimate for his return still a few weeks away.
New defender Vegard Forren will also be considered for a debut at Old Trafford. Pochettino could opt to stick with Maya Yoshida and Jos Hooiveld as a centre half pairing after they kept a clean sheet in his first game against Everton.
However, the Norwegian centre half will be considered for the United game.

What is law? There are various responses to this question, but all agree that the rules and institutions of law have profound effects on shaping the political and social world in which we live. This course uncovers what some of these effects are, with a primary focus on legal institutions, laws, and court cases in the United States. By the end of this course, you will have developed skills in reading and understanding legal documents, especially course cases, and you will be able to analyze the intersection of law, social inequality, and various social institutions and understanding the foundations of law and the roles that it plays in our society. Specific topics of discussion will include theories of law; law as it relates to social control and social change; and the organization of law as a system, profession, and practice.

Greater Los Angeles Consortium on Externships
For your convenience, the GLACE Field Placement Supervision Manual may be downloaded (PDF).
In 1993, six Los Angeles area ABA-accredited law schools formed a consortium, the Greater Los Angeles Consortium of Externships (GLACE). In 2005, Chapman Law School was added as a member school of GLACE. The purpose of the consortium is to share externship-related information and to develop joint standards for the field supervision of externs by field supervisors. This GLACE-endorsed field supervision manual incorporates those standards and highlights common workplace issues that are often of interest to students and supervisors. Your participation in our program as a supervising judicial officer/attorney and educator is most valuable to our Externship Program. We hope the Manual will be helpful in your supervision efforts.

Don't Expect Buakaw To Fight Somrak Khamsing Or Manny Pacquiao
- Published in Muay Thai
- Written by Rian Scalia
- 0
There's been a lot of weird rumors going on lately about Buakaw fighting Manny Pacquiao and also with Somrak Khamsing calling Buakaw out, speculation of a fight between them was ignited. Obviously, they seemed unlikely to happen in the first place, but now there's really some official confirmation regarding this.
Sport Art Co. Ltd., who also happen to be the organizers of Thai Fight, have all rights regarding the matchmaking of Buakaw until December 31 of this year. Anyone that wants to set up a fight outside of Thai Fight with Buakaw still has to go through Sport Art Co. Ltd. Here's an excerpt explaining the matter:
"In addition, Sport Art Co.'s key policy is for Buakaw to act as an ambassador for muay thai to popularise the sport around the world, as he is well-known internationally. Therefore, Buakaw will fight only against foreign opponents & not Thai opponents. As such, a fight with Somrak Kamsing, the 39-year-old former Olympic gold medalist who recently issued Buakaw a challenge in the news, is impossible. Thai Fight also thinks that it is improper for them to fight, as regardless of whether Buakaw wins or loses, it will be not be good for his image.
As for news reports claiming that Buakaw will fight Manny Pacquiao in a Western-style boxing match on 21 December 2012 in Thailand, Sport Art Co., which has the full power to decide who Buakaw fights until the end of 2012, had never known about this proposed fight before. In any case, Sport Art Co. thinks that the chances of it happening are close to nil. This is because Manny is scheduled to fight with Marquez on 8 December 2012, & Buakaw is required to fight in the final round of Thai Fight 2012 on 16 December 2012. Buakaw will violate the Boxing Act if he takes part in a fight less than 15 days after his previous one." [source]

New to fish raising!
Hello everyone! I'm new to fish raising and since I love animals, I really don't want my fishes to die so I'm hoping someone would point me to the right direction! :)
I bought the aquarium with the fishes 3 days ago (5th February 2013) and ever since then I've been reading about how to raise healthy fishes. But I would really prefer hearing from experts.
- I have 3 white medium size ones (picture below) and 9 small ones (picture below).
- I feed them twice a day (when I wake up and before I go to sleep).
- I read about the Nitrogen Cycle and I've been changing 20% of the water once a day.
- I think that my fishes are happy because they're moving a lot and they just don't seem sick :S.
- I use tap water for my tank.
Here are pictures of the fishes and the aquarium.
How the aquarium looks.
I don't know how to measure the tank in gallons, but here's the size of the aquarium.
And the food
That's all I think! Advice or recommendations are much appreciated :)
BTW, I'm extremely sorry if I posted this in the wrong section! >_<

The Fishes
If it's possible, could you also tell me what fishes do I own? >_>
I'm sorry but I got a load of bad news for you.
1. Your tank is 30 liters. That's a little over 6 gallons.
2. Your striped fish seem to be tiger barbs http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/puntius-tetrazona/
3. your silvery fish could well be black widow tetra. http://www.seriouslyfish.com/species...mbus-ternetzi/
4. The fish with the orange patch is some kind of goldfish
Your tank size is about adequate for a betta or a school of very small fish. In other words you are massively overstocked. Additionall, I see a powerhead but no filter. I also see no heater. I'm very sorry to say this but your tank is very likely to end in something you don't want, sickly fish dying.
The first signs of unhappy fish are already visible, the tetras are extremely pale!
Once again, apologies but that's the way I see it.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.
My liter to gallons converter has 30L = 7.9 US Gal. For the fish you have it's a very small tank. Also, I see to different species being goldfish cold water and tiger barbs warm water. The white fish looks like Koi and if so they get huge. The tiger barbs are schooling fish and can be aggressive. If you had at least 10 (which is not recommended for your tank size) they may keep the aggression to themselves. Since you are now aware of the nitrogen cycle make sure you keep up with the water changes until the tank cycles.
My recommendation (if possible) would be return the fish and start a fishless cycle. While the cycle process is going go to http://aqadvisor.com/ and and research compatible species for your size tank. Hope this helps. The experts will definately give their 2 cents on the question.
You could well be right on the gallons. I've never been too good at doing imperial conversions in my head.
I don't know about goldfish but yes, this could be a koi I suppose:
This really looks like a blackskirt tetra
Despite the best intentions of doing a 20% daily returning the fish and starting over is probably the best bet. The filter does worry me though, perhaps it's the pictures but I don't see a sponge or anything.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

In addition, fish become stressed (and then ill) both from ammonia (from their waste) as well as not having enough space to swim and being crowded. Is is possible to return these fish and just cycle the tank without them? It appears you are truly interested in their well being, therefore, it would make sense to: 1) return them and cycle your current tank first 2) make a decision about what you want in it that's APPROPRIATE (checking with this forum 1st) or 3) get a larger tank (the largest one you can afford is what is recommended) that can accommodate the fish you want to keep - it is just not a good idea to get a tank, plop any old fish you want into it and expect it to be successful - fish grow and need a healthy environment.
*Edit - I see several others beat me to this advice LOL

I'm really happy to see the quick response! And I will go with the advice. If I'm going to return the fishes, which and how many should I return?
Thank you!

All of them - and it's best to cycle your tank using pure ammonia - that will work faster. There are articles in the beginners section here that tell you how to do this.
While there are people who cycle tanks with fish in them, you are better off cycling without any fish and then figure out what you will put into the tank, like a betta or shrimp.
If you really like the fish you purchased, you will need to see their potential sizes, whether they are schooling fish and other factors along with purchasing a larger tank.
If possible, all of them. It's best to go with the fishless cycle. You may want to look into getting a heater if you don't have one already. A larger filter rated for maybe a 16 gallon tank as it is recommended to have filtration rated at double the size of your tank.

Okay! I will do so. I'll return them and try fishless cycle. One more question, can a Betta fish survive alone? If not, I'll consider another type of fish, since I don't think 2 Betta fishes can survive in my tank.

Instagram Diary: Osheaga Festival 2012
This sun-soaked resort not far from Marbello has three ways to dip the day away. There's an indoor lap pool at the spa, and two alfresco pools — including a seductive, Asian-accented adults-only option — set in perfectly pruned gardens. For a saltwater swim, take the shuttle to the hotel's beach club, only a few minutes away, where an infinity pool, restaurant and crop of sun loungers await.
London's hip members' club gets the Miami treatment, with not one, but two pools at the retro-cool 16-story hotel. Dip into the 100-foot, palm-flanked pool just a few feet from the beach, or head upstairs to the rooftop plunge pool with perfect views of the sun as it dips into the Atlantic.

By The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) — Columbus officials expect to get a project under way in 2013 to identify possibly contaminated properties for renewal.
City planner Christina Berry tells the Commercial Dispatch (http://bit.ly/TZHWjX) that the city had a $400,000 Brownfields Assessment Grant for the project.
"The grant will allow us to assess properties to see if they have contaminants and clear them for development. If we do find contaminants, we can get more money to clean up the contaminants," Berry said.
She said the project has two phases. The first is the assessment of the properties. If contaminates are found, Berry said phase two will allow the consultants to actually get soil sample tests from the contaminated property.
Berry said the city has already identified 30 properties that might qualify for the assessment and is asking residents to help identify other properties that might be contaminated.
"I have created a proposed policy regarding the brownfields guidelines I'm hoping the council will approve at the next board meeting," Berry said.
Berry also has a proposed ranking system to identify "marketable sites that meet developer needs and determine sites that best promote economic development in Columbus."
"If there is an area of town where someone has a vacated cleaners or gas station, they may qualify for an assessment. Because of the limited funds that are available, we will have some criteria regarding ranking the assessments.
"If there is a site that a developer is interested in and has the financing lined up, this site will move to the top of the list," she said.
The program is funded by the Environmental Protection Agency.

By Michael Aneiro
As we see record inflows into leveraged loan mutual funds, Barclays today cites "abundant anecdotal evidence" that bond investors are increasingly concerned about duration risk and are increasing their exposure to the loan market as a partial hedge against rising interest rates. Loan mutual funds have so far been the main beneficiaries, but Barclays sees these gains potentially extending to the two ETFs that track the U.S. leveraged loan market: the $1.8 billion PowerShares Senior Loan Portfolio (BKLN), which launched just under two years ago, and the smaller, newer $34 million Pyxis/iBoxx Senior Loan ETF (SNLN), which launched in November.
Noting that loan ETFs are a relatively new phenomenon and together hold less than 1% of the loan market, Barclays says it's not surprising that non-ETF mutual funds still hold the overwhelming majority of the fund world's loan assets. "But if the post-crisis experience of the high yield bond market is any indication," Barclays says, "loan ETFs are likely to increase their share of assets once the product achieves the requisite critical mass to ensure sufficient liquidity." More from Barclays:
Signs that this inflection point may be approaching can be found in recent volume data, particularly for BKLN, which is by far the larger of the two loan ETFs. After averaging less than $200k in daily volume for most of its first two years of existence, BKLN has averaged nearly $2mn per day so far in 2013, a tenfold increase on a y/y basis. Meanwhile, its performance has tracked the market quite well. The fund did lag the market by approximately 1.5% in total return terms during the August 2011 selloff, but recovered most of that ground in the ensuing rally and now trails the Barclays Performing Loan Index by just 55bp since its inception in early 2011.
A note to readers at this point: if you're not interested in the wonky operational details of the loan and/or ETF market, you can stop reading now. If you are, here's more from Barclays on how the whole loan ETF process works:

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 56 reviews
Hotel is getting tired, would have been great a few years ago, but rooms are dated and needing updated and some fittings replaced (I had a 10cm hole above the bed where a down-lighter used to be). Air conditioning not effective in room. WiFi is charged, either by day or hour!!! Reception very slow at checking in and checking out. This hotel is situated a long way from the city centre. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but recommend getting a taxi to Barrio/Patio Bellavista or Barrio Lastarria. There are none of the main tourist attractions nearby.
The lobby is beautiful in this hotel, the room is nice, but could do with some repairs. The air-conditioning was not great, had to open the windows to stay cool, the door frames were all split and sharp bits of wood were present because of this. I stayed on the 10th floor, food was nice, bed was comfy, but would recommend other hotels for the same price.
This is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The concierge service, as well as the front desk staff were absolutely EXCELLENT. Best location in Santiago for either business or vacation. My wife and I are still talking about how helpful the staff was.
Great Area, Outdated Hotel, personnel was great, service very good, A/C in room made so much noise that was almost impossible to sleep.
Middle of the line InterContinental. Food was good in the restaurant. Good wifi.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Wednesday offered Charlestonians a welcome break from the brutal August heat, and many people jumped at the opportunity simultaneously enjoy the weather and support a good cause at Pour It Forward, the Square Onion Too's monthly fundraising event.
A sizable crowd gathered in the garden between the Square Onion Too and Earthly Artifacts, relishing in the mild temperatures and beautiful scenery. Guests lined up at the wine tasting table or snagged tasty gourmet bites from inside, and many people lingered close to the live music or lounged on lawn chairs. It was the perfect mid-week break, a mellow celebration where neighbors and supporters of Dragon Boat Charleston could catch up and unwind.
Dragon Boat Charleston was founded in 2003 and is a nonprofit promoting physical and mental wellness among cancer survivors throughout the Lowcountry. The beneficiary of August's Pour It Forward, Dragon Boat Charleston focuses on the Chinese sport of dragon boating as a method of wellness.

I'm back in the great state of Texas this week talking to students and high school counselors about Purdue's Engineering program and cheering on the Purdue Solar Team as they compete in the Shell Eco-marathon.
I'm staring off the trip in Fort Worth and staying at the Stockyards. What a great and historical place. Had dinner last night at H3 and wondered into the bar area to check out the horse saddle bar stools and the "surprise" behind the bar.
After dinner I stopped in at the White Elephant Saloon where, so I've been told, the TV show Walker Texas Ranger shot several. scenes. The owner collects white elephants and there is a huge wall displaying them. On the ceiling are cowboy hats with the names of their donors.
Having a bit of free tome, Yesterday I walked the yards and visited a few shops before heading to a reception with some wonderful HS counselors in the Dallas area.
Today I'm headed to some of the museums here in the Stockyards before hopping in the car for the 4.5 hr drive down to Houston.
Stay tuned…

Minimal change disease is a kidney disorder that can lead to nephrotic syndrome, although the nephrons of the kidney look normal under a regular microscope.
Minimal change nephrotic syndrome; Nil disease; Lipoid nephrosis; Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome of childhood
Each kidney is made of more than a million units called nephrons, which filter blood and produce urine.
In minimal change disease, there is damage to the glomeruli -- the tiny blood vessels inside the nephron where blood is filtered to make urine and waste is removed. The disease gets its name because this damage is not visible under a regular microscope. It can only be seen under an electron microscope.
Minimal change disease is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. It causes about 80% of cases in young children. It is also seen in adults, but makes up only 10 to 15% of nephrotic syndrome cases.
The cause is unknown, but the disease may occur after or be related to:
There may be symptoms of nephrotic syndrome:
Minimal change disease does not reduce the amount of urine produced. It rarely progresses to kidney failure.
The doctor may not be able to see any signs of the disease, other than swelling. Blood and urine tests reveal signs of nephrotic syndrome, including:
A kidney biopsy and examination of the tissue with an electron microscope can show signs of minimal change disease. An immunofluorescence exam of the biopsied kidney tissue will be negative.
Corticosteroids can cure minimal change disease in most children. Some patients may need to stay on steroids to keep the disease in remission.
Adults do not respond to steroids as well as children, but many still find steroids effective. Adults may have more frequent relapses and become dependent on steroids.
Patients who have three or more relapses may do better with cytotoxic therapy instead of steroids. In most cases, this involves a medication called cyclophosphamide. Other medicines that have been used include cyclosporine and chlorambucil.
Swelling may be treated with:
You may also be told to reduce the amount of salt in your diet.
Children with minimal change disease usually respond better to corticosteroids than adults. Children often respond within the first month.
A relapse can occur. However, patients may improve after long-term treatment with corticosteroids and medications that suppress the immune system (immunosuppressive medications).
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if:
There is no known prevention.

Just received an ILC from Haggie in a box so minty the whole house smells like a box of girl scout cookies! Yum! Everyone here should be so fortunate as to receive a ship packed with expert care by the Haggmeister.
LBC has also winged a Defender this way, in a straight 1:1 trade for an ILC. As with so many other acts of camaraderie by the folks here, LBC exemplifies the wonderful spirit of this forum.
Before VT, I was always wary of 3-way trades/deals, but since seeing his finesse, and with the great reputations of the regualrs here, I had no reservations at all about this deal. Thanks again to Haggie and LBC!
For any and all regulars on this forum, my collection list is linked to my web page. If you see anything you need that I have duplicates of, please let me know. Maybe we can work out a trade?

The Fisherman Who Saved Fishtown
Early on a July morning in 2006, Fishtown is peaceful. Below the wharf, a foot of mist hovers over the moss-green Leland River, and Leland Harbor is a soft, waking-up shade of Wedgwood blue. In a few hours, the hodgepodge of fishing shanties, collectively one of the region's most iconic tourist attractions, will come alive. A line will form for fresh-made sandwiches at the Village Cheese Shanty, children will cast into the river, hoping to land one of the fish that dart back and forth around the wharf pilings, and people will leave Fishtown's pint-sized boutiques loaded with shopping bags.
But at 7:15 a.m., Fishtown looks as it did a half-century ago, when it was simply a fishing port. The commercial fishing boats the Janice Sue and the Joy bob slightly on gentle wakes left by charter boats heading out of the river. And smoke drifting from the crooked-arm chimneys of a smokehouse beside the white clapboard Carlson's Fisheries is a sign that the business of fish mongering is well underway.
Inside, a second pot of coffee is brewing in the big Bunn coffeemaker, and a hundred pounds of whitefish have just lost their pinbones to the deft hands of four Carlsons: Bill Carlson, owner of the fishery and of Fishtown, his wife Jennifer, his son Clay, and his great nephew, Chris Herman. Clad in suspendered foul-weather pants, streaked now in blood, the foursome has worked shoulder-to-shoulder for over an hour. They banter as they work – Bill quips that his white hair is really blonde, turned from eating too much fish. And they all toss out jokes for the benefit of Geromy White, a brawny football player for Suttons Bay High School they call The Rig, who has been busy moving 20-pound trays of whitefish into the smokehouse all morning. They work steadily – and no one takes time even to glance out the small, open window with its harbor view.
At age 63, Bill has been working the long, grueling hours of a commercial fisherman since he was 11. He has pinboned fish, gutted fish, filleted fish and caught fish – by gill net, chub net and purse-seine – in weather that has iced the boat over and battered off its doors, and on days when he had to bail to make it back to Leland Harbor. Arguably, only God has touched more Lake Michigan fish than Bill Carlson.
He looks 10 years younger than his age, he's strong and tall, though he says he's "wearin' out." He's ready for, at least, semi-retirement. It's time to sell Fishtown, and he hopes it will be to the Leland-based nonprofit Fishtown Preservation Society (see Fishtown Preserved, p.71). If the organization can come up with money to match the price, Bill will hand over 200 feet of river frontage, his seven buildings – divided into 11 businesses including his fishery – five charter boat slips along the wharf, and his two boats, the Janice Sue and the Joy. Under the terms of an 80-year lease held by the preservation group, Clay will operate the fishery.
It has taken two years to agree on a price: $3 million. The negotiations, set in this small, close-knit village, were often tense. There is no real estate formula for what Bill Carlson did with Fishtown. There is a way to calculate what cobbled-together buildings are worth, what river frontage is going for, and what property suited for luxury condominiums will bring. But what is just compensation for almost single-handedly saving a village's heritage – a slice of an entire region's past that has all but vanished?

Category: Jellies, Anemones and kin view all from this category
Description Cassiopea is a genus of scyphozoan jellyfish very commonly found in shallow mangrove swamps, mudflats, and turtle grass flats in Florida and various other similar environments around the world, where it lives usually upside-down on the bottom. Where found, there may be numerous individuals with varying shades of white, blue, green and brown. They have a mild sting since they are primarily photosynthetic, but sensitive individuals may have a stronger reaction. The stinging cells are excreted in a mucus; swimming over these jellies (especially using swim fins) may cause transparent, essentially invisible, sheets of this mucus to be lifted up into the water column, where they are then encountered by unsuspecting swimmers. The stings, appearing in the form of a red rash-like skin irritation, are notorious for being extraordinarily itchy.
The Cassiopea jellyfish (one common species is Cassiopea andromeda) belongs to the Order Rhizostomeae and mostly lives in sandy areas and seagrass beds. The Cassiopea jellyfish is also called "Upside Down Jellyfish", because it lies on its back, so that the bell touches the ground. In this position it resembles a sea anemone. Sometimes this jellyfish is picked up by a crab (Dorippe frascone) and carried on its back. The crab uses the jellyfish to defend itself against possible predators.
Warning Mildly toxic. Contact with the Upside-down Jellyfish causes itching followed by a rash.
Habitat Ocean or bay shallows, Coral reefs.
Range Florida, Texas, Southeast.

The funniest thing about lieutenant governor races is that candidates
don't have their own placards. Instead, their name is a footnote on
lawn signs and literature, a metaphor that hardly needs further
explanation. Nonetheless, the massive function room at Suffolk Law

from the high interest level, that might have even been the case had

Housing & Dining
Housing Contract Release/Accommodation Requests
The housing contract is for the full academic year (both fall and spring semesters). Included as a part of the housing contract is required participation in a College meal plan.
Emerson College has a Residency Requirement. Please review the Residency Requirement to determine if you are expected to live on campus. If you are an incoming student who would like to be exempt from the Residency Requirement or a current resident student who would like to request an exemption from the Residency Requirement for the next academic year, please complete an Exemption Request.
If you are currently covered by a housing contract and would like to request an accommodation or release from the contract, you will need to complete a Food and Housing Board petition. Please note there are two types of Food and Housing Board petitions and that you should complete the petition which best reflects your situation.
- Disability or Serious Medical Condition
- Financial, Religious, or Other Non-Medical/Psychological Reasons
If the accommodation you are requesting is to be granted on-campus housing due to financial hardship that would otherwise prohibit you from attending Emerson College, you may submit a Financial Appeals Request during the Housing Selection Process only. A Financial Appeals Committee will base decisions on financial aid eligibility, special financial circumstances, class level, and overall financial hardship. Please note that only a limited number of appeals will be approved.

Sweets Without The Guilt
The term "Healthy" has a bad rap! When we hear the term "healthy" we automatically think "tastes bad". Right? But, just because something has that label doesn't mean it is any less delicious than the less healthy version!
Chocolate, for instance, can be healthy for us but the sugar that usually accompanies it is not. By using some healthier ingredient options you can have a delicious dessert that won't taste "healthy". Enjoy!

We face one of the most controversial games ever, a game about the quintessence of mobile industry, different points of view on how afterlife should be and, by the way, a platform game with odd physics, all at once. Be warned, even when this game doesn't cease to be a casual game after all, it isn't a game designed to be fun per se, hence the lack of color saturation, silly jokes or a catchy soundtrack.
Game puts us under the skin of those poor souls who have committed suicide when working in a well-known factory, every one with his own dogmas about death and what happens next. The non Western approach to afterlife may make feel both Western and Eastern players disoriented at first, but it's an original touch in the end. Every stage is set around an afterlife concept, everything pretty macabre,
Design can only be qualified as gloomy as awesome. However, it seems that this game has been ported to Android in a too hasty way, because controls are too difficult and game can quickly become nearly unplayable. We would recommend this game for anyone who wants to look for serious casual gaming after funny casual gaming, but we must also remind you to check the "what's new" section to be sure that Benjamin Poynter has fixed up what he should. Anyway, a game that deserves all our attention.

By Tiernan Ray
Wedge Partners's Martin Pyykkonen this morning writes that he is waiting for to hear a "thorough and coherent strategy" from CEO Marissa Mayer when the company reports this coming Tuesday, April 16th, after market close.
Pykkonen argues what's been said by Mayer so far doesn't fully explain the direction the company is going in:
During Marissa Mayer's nine months as YHOO's CEO we've heard what seem to be a lot of promising ideas and points of focus – e.g., content personalization, home page revamp, mobile monetization, new/refreshed apps, etc. We're now keenly interested in hearing a thorough and coherent strategy towards regenerating profitable (with at least stable EBITDA margin) revenue growth. While mobile monetization has been front and center for YHOO and the Internet advertising sector of late, we still need to see and hear a comprehensive strategy, which includes but is not overly focused on mobile traffic.
The company's forecast for the year, offered at the Q4 report in mid-January, were "deliberately and admittedly prudently conservative under the difficult turn-around expectations for the company," writes Pyykkonen, and he wonders whether the company will raise its full-year revenue outlook from the $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion range offered at that time, growth of just 1% to 2%, as "a sign of gaining better traction with advertisers."
After a big jump in the stock since Mayer was appointed last summer, a lot of the stock's valuation is caught up with the expected initial public offering of Alibaba Group Holding, and the value of the company's stake in Yahoo! Japan:
YHOO's stock is up 17% YTD (vs. the S&P 500, which is up 9.3% YTD) and the stock is up ~50% since CEO Marissa Mayer took over last summer. YHOO is currently valued at ~10.6x EV/EBITDA, based on our 2014 EBITDA estimate of $2.02B (or about ~12.4x 2014 street mean EBITDA), but that excludes the benefit of YHOO's remaining equity interests in Alibaba and their stake in Yahoo! Japan. For YHOO's core business, our revenue and EBITDA estimates are above the current street consensus. Alibaba's IPO valuation is a key swing factor in an implied EV/EBITDA multiple, but a range of ~$60B on Alibaba's IPO, coupled with liquidating its' stake in Yahoo! Japan, would yield an EV/EBITDA multiple less than 5x (below even typical M&E multiple ranges on EV/EBITDA). Based on YHOO's recent comments, however, it doesn't seem likely that they will sell their Yahoo! Japan stake in the near term (e.g., strategic interest, strong growth outlook, needed international exposure for YHOO). The timing of an Alibaba IPO is still uncertain, but we still think it could and should be this year (most likely fall 2013).

Please read this, you'll thank me later!!!
I'm at work so I'll make this long story short.
I was having a conversation with a collector's toy store owner last week and he told me that he goes shopping in all of the stores in eastern PA because, for some strange reason, the stores misplace older SW stuff in the store rooms and eventually put them out on the shelves years later.
Well, I decided to take a trip to East Stroudsburg on Saturday to see if this was true. I checked Wal-mart, Target, KB, K-mart and 2 different Amies. Here is what I found:
X-wing Luke
Death Star Han
Tatooine Jar Jar
Bespin Lando
The Jabba that comes with the container of ooze.
E1 Qui-gon Jinn figure clock
12' Qui-gon and Watto from E1
And Here is the really strange one: E1 Sneak Preview S.N.A.P.
So if you are looking for older stuff try checking out eastern PA.
PS. I also finally got my Bloody hand Luke there.
