The powers that be at Ole Miss began to formulate a plan to keep Bianco Ball in session a few seasons longer. After all, the Rebs were virtually assured of a high seed in the coming NCAA baseball tournament. In fact the Rebs were even hopeful that they would host a regional just like those folks in Starkville used to do. That would surely be a sign to recruits which team was the Mississippi team of the future. Not only that, but if the Rebs could host a super regional, then their berth into the field at Omaha was a near certainty.
Well, a series against a mediocre Tennessee Volunteer squad didn't work out as planned, but the Rebs were due for a letdown after beating Bama. Then the Razorbacks, who had been hot and cold all season, suddenly got hot when they hit Oxford, taking all three. However, good things could still happen for the Rebel fans. They only had to win one against MSU. The Reb fans were just downright giddy. It couldn't have worked out better. This was their chance to wrap up their dream season and rub MSU's nose in it on the way to Rosenblatt Stadium. After all, MSU had been swept in two straight series and they hadn't swept anybody all year. The Rebs were confident. They had the Mayor's Trophy for crying out loud.
The Bulldogs were hurting. MSU needed a sweep or a little help from the up and down Auburn Tigers. It seemed that every Dawg fan's nightmare was coming true. Ole Miss was going to wrestle away from the stranglehold that MSU baseball has had on them for decades. For once, Ole Miss could say we're better and there wouldn't have been much we could say back. After all, our baseball season would have ended with the end of the school year for the first time since Ronald Reagan was president.
A cold front blew into town just as the Ole Miss team bus arrived. The temperatures dropped to football weather. Then came the rains. MSU, which had virtually been unbeatable on Friday nights behind the strong left arm of ace starting pitcher Paul Maholm, would have to play two on Saturday. How would the team respond?
Ole Miss staked former ace Montrenes to an early 2-0 lead. The second time through the order something happen; Montrenes seem to unravel. The Rebs hurler couldn't find the plate and the balls that did find the plate met aluminum. A couple of pitchers and several innings later the Rebs found themselves shell shocked after falling behind 12-2. Bianco collected his trembling troops between games to assure them and remind them they only needed one.
Former reliever Horne didn't fare much better in game 2. It didn't take the Dawg hitters long to send him to the showers. Almost every Rebel pitcher just got more of the same. Brock and company were strong on the hill for the Dogs. It was another humbling loss for the visitors.
Sunday was a game for all the marbles and with an Arkansas win, the loser of this game would be relegated to a role of spectators for the SEC Tournament. Coach Polk sent 2001 SEC Tournament hero Chris Young to the hill to close out the series. Young, who had been very effective all season long in middle relief duty, was making his first conference start. If Chris was nervous, it didn't show. Chris went after the Rebel hitters and had tremendous success early. The game remained scoreless until Rebel-Killer, Matthew Brinson hit a monster shot into the wind that cleared the wall. Young seemed to bear down even harder with a lead. Ole Miss just couldn't seem to solve him. Before game-end Brinson hit another home run and the Rebs pitching fell apart for the third time in three games and the Dawgs owned another lopsided win.
Chris Young will long be remembered for his performance last season to win the SEC Tournament, but his performance this past Sunday will not soon be forgotten either. Young seems to have a flare for the dramatic when it comes time for the post-season. His fresh arm should pay dividends for the Diamond Dogs going into tournament and, hopefully, regional play.
Meanwhile, the mighty Rebel baseball team that was once ranked 6th in the country finished 9th in the SEC. Ninth in the SEC leaves you on the outside looking in. Bianco Ball once again will have to go back to the drawing board to not only figure out the reasons for its second straight season-ending collapse but also how to contend with Mississippi's best, Mississippi State baseball and its masterful skipper, Ron Polk.
I don't know what it all means, but I do know this: You cannot talk your way into the College World Series. You can politic your way up the polls based on who you are or where you are from, but that won't win you any games. The games are still played on the field, and all things being equal, it appears that MSU is still better. Based on this weekend, one would have to conclude that the divide is much, much greater than anyone first believed.
I wonder how many college baseball programs that didn't qualify for the post-season gave their coach a huge pay raise? I know one that did, U of M. It was a sad, sad day all across Oxford on Monday. When they woke up they realized that one of their greatest teams ever got swept by MSU. I know some of our fans don't feel that we've had a very successful sports year over the last 12 months, but at least we ruined Ole Miss' football and baseball seasons. It may not mean much in the long run, but at least it makes life a little easier when visiting with our Rebel friends. Speaking of football, maybe Eli should have pitched on Sunday!
Until next time,

Uranium's impact on communities in McKinley County
The McKinley County Commission hosted a special meeting on March 14th and heard two hours of public testimony about the impacts communities and families are feeling from decades-old legacy uranium mining. After hearing comment, the County Commission stated that they want to develop a formal Blue Ribbon Task Force and hold public hearings to provide more space to understand how community is being impacted.
Moving forward, CVNM Education Fund will continue to partner with communities directly impacted to work with the county to develop and shape the composition of the task force and share their stories of how they are impacted.

Faerie After
Of course, you want to read Bones of Faerie and Faerie Winter before Faerie After – click on the titles to read my reviews.
In my opinion spoilers are never good, so even though it probably wouldn't be dire to the overall story, I recommend you don't read my review/synopsis of Faerie After until you've read those first two books…
Liza has been away from her home, learning more about her magic from Karin over the last few months. Though she misses her mother, Matthew, Kyle and others at home, life has been steadier than it was for quite some time. And the spring seems strong.
But when Liza stumbles across a new danger – piles of ash where living creatures once stood – Liza comes to the realization that both the world of Faerie and the human realm are still deteriorating since the War.
Everything will eventually turn to dust.
Searching for a solution may mean crossing over into Faerie – and putting all she knows and cares about in danger.
Will Liza sacrifice herself to heal both worlds and save her family and friends?
Faerie After is a sad, complicated yet straightforward conclusion.
The entire Bones of Faerie trilogy has a sweet, slow building romance that never takes center stage but manages to be very effective. Anyone who has read the books knows what I'm talking about. It's a subtle but lovely side story.
In the world Simner has created, magic has morose consequences. In this world, she shows how people (and faeries) can be both terribly cruel and beautifully courageous.
At times I felt like this final novel was a bit of a jumble, in and out of various circumstances, but still good. There were moments that were heart-wrenching. It cannot be denied that Simner creates a gorgeously told narrative, a dark faerie tale with strong characterizations.
I also appreciated what ended up being a very cool, meaningful twist and revelation near the end.
And despite my misgivings at times of Faerie After truly meeting its full potential, by the end, what do you know? I felt like sobbing. And I was covered in goose bumps!!!
The goose bumps don't lie.

The Dream Thieves
The Raven Boys, the first book in this cycle, is undeniably fantastic – so if you have yet to read it, check out my review here and then go grab a copy, you crazy person!!!
In other words, you may want to avoid this review of the second book until you've already sunk your teeth into book one. Only looking out for you, bibliophile!
Final chance to turn away…
Blue and her Raven Boys all have secrets.
Ronan's is that he can steal things from dreams.
While Blue, haunted Ronan, damaged Adam and the always-charismatic Gansey continue their search for the dead king Glendower amidst the enigmatic ley lines of their small town, Ronan begins to realize that his ability to take things out of his dreams may be an ability sought after by others.
And may be connected to his father's brutal murder…
Okay, this synopsis is pretty bare-bones, I agree.
But, really, if you read The Raven Boys (um, you better have since you're reading this!!), should you really want more?
All I knew is that I HAD TO READ The Dream Thieves.
It almost wasn't a choice – more of a bibliophile compulsion.
Anywho, Maggie Stiefvater has done it again. She is now firmly cemented in my I-have-to-read-everything-by-her-no-matter-what category.
The Dream Thieves is written in words that wrap you up into them. There's a sensation of magic, of mystery, of longing. The characters can be dark – a few of them have been through very dark things – and they are oftentimes deeply flawed, but oh so sympathetic and real-feeling.
Presenting switching viewpoints keeps The Dream Thieves moving, while maintaining a carefully moderated pace – never ceasing to be magnetic and utterly compelling.
Personally, mixing mythology and fantasy elements with such a purely character driven yearning, friendship and romance is irresistible – when done so very right, as it is here.
I was already anticipating book three before book two was over!
The Dream Thieves is heartbreaking, upsetting, but oh-so-well-written, hypnotizing and stunning.
Give. Me. Book. Three.

A Spark Unseen
You know what I'm going to say. If you haven't yet read The Dark Unwinding, you should avoid this review for potential spoilers of the first book. Read my review of The Dark Unwinding here.
Last chance to avert your eyes before the synopsis begins!
Katherine Tulman has been in life threatening situations before.
That's why when she wakes in the middle of the night to hear strange men's voices, she is instantly alert.
It doesn't take much to deduce that they want to kidnap her uncle – a man with childlike innocence yet a mind with genius enviable by nations at war.
Katherine's Uncle Tully's sprawling manor Stranwyne Keep is not as secure as they need as the Crimean War creates an ever stronger desire for his elusive inventions.
So, Katherine decides to have them flee to Paris.
And while she is there she will search for Lane – the young man who knows her Uncle Tully even better than she – the young man that she's given her heart to – the young man feared dead.
But as Katherine is swept up into the political intrigue of Napoleon III's court, she finds herself quickly in danger once more…
I very much enjoyed The Dark Unwinding, so I was thrilled when I found out there was going to be a sequel!
As in the prior novel, A Spark Unseen presents us with strong, smart women in a glorious time period (in my opinion).
Here we are provided with suspense, nail-biting political intrigue, surprises, heart break, and a wonderful sense of family and of mystery.
I have to say that I did not find A Spark Unseen to have as much of a gothic or steampunk tone as The Dark Unwinding, however – which was too bad.
Yet, even still, A Spark Unseen – with its spunky heroine and gripping story – was a good sequel!

When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears
I am absolutely serious when I say this trilogy is far too remarkable to spoil yourself by reading this review – or book – without reading the first two books.
So, if you are a lucky duck and haven't yet read The Goblin Wars novels, therefore getting a chance to experience them for the first time, you can check out my review of Tyger Tyger here and In the Forests of the Night here.
Don't go perusing this review and ruining any surprises!
They are TOO excellent for that!!!
Okay, now on to When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears:
Teagan has declared war on the Dark Man – knowing that her family will always be hunted unless she faces those who wish them harm head-on.
But the danger is very real.
Creatures of destruction and death are spilling out of Mag Mell into the streets of Chicago, Teagan's little brother Aiden has been marked with a new song that is frightening him, and Teagan finds herself facing the fact that she is now almost all goblin in DNA – and fighting it.
Not to mention that her relationship with Finn, the Mac Cumhaill who is bound to fight goblins, is riddled with the concerns over her very ancestry being a wall between them.
Yet as Teagan finds the Dark Man pulling her and her loved ones into a life-threatening trap, she knows she must find a way to destroy him once and for all…
Oh my goodness!!!
I finished the last pages of When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears in the lunch room of my workplace and had to hold back some serious emotion.
As any fan of The Goblin Wars would agree, I'm sure; Kersten Hamilton has created a charming, eccentric, truly lovable group of people. Teagan's strong love of animals is only part of the deep compassion rooted in the trilogy – there's also a marvelous sense of family at its greatest.
When the Stars Threw Down Their Spears is the conclusion to what is in its entirety a beautifully original fantasy, mixing Irish mythology with contemporary humor and nail-biting suspense. Of course there's also the romance aspect, which is nothing to scoff at either.
There's so much I could say – but I dare not give anything about this conclusion away. There were moments that my heart was so terribly saddened, other times I laughed out loud, and almost always I felt a sense of understated, soaring emotion from the excellence of the storytelling.
To me, it is a mark of an honestly great book, when I feel so incredibly touched multiple times. I cared, and still care, about these characters. Because of that, Kersten was able to break my heart – as well as make me feel joyful.
This is not a conclusion to miss!!!

When Becky Randle reaches her eighteenth birthday, life isn't so great. Her mom has died, and she won't be able to afford the trailer she's lived in all her life if her fast food job lays her off.
Then she meets Tom Kelly.
A recognizable name to almost anyone in the world – Tom Kelly has a hand in almost any industry, but primarily is known for fashion – and being insanely wealthy.
He offers to make her three dresses – one red, one white, and one black. He tells her that by wearing these dresses Becky will be transformed into the most beautiful woman in the entire world.
Thinking he's insane, but not seeing a better offer, Becky accepts.
And Becky becomes Rebecca – gorgeous, stunning, publicity-hounded Rebecca.
Underneath, though, isn't she still just Becky?
First off I want to say that the cover of Gorgeous, I think, is very pretty and eye-catching. Agree?
Second, what was the first thought that came to mind when I finished Gorgeous?
I'm glad it's over.
I know! It's terrible!!! As a bibliophile, I really hate giving negative reviews (seems to be happening more lately, been having a ho-hum streak), and I never want to dissuade readers!
I also want to be honest.
For me, even when Gorgeous was trying for an optimistic tone, it was pessimistic. There was a lot of negativity, mostly through gossip. I know that Paul Rudnick has written for Entertainment Weekly, and at times it almost felt like I was reading a book length rant on social commentary or something. Not pleasant. I usually skip those articles anyway.
Also, there's a TON of swearing. Listen, I deal with swearing – I get it, people swear. But, really?! This was pretty much every single page – excessive! The Lord's name was taken in vain a TON, too. Again, I have to deal with this in novels, but my goodness! Talk about pushing the boundaries on what is tolerable! This language limitation only spurred on the negative vibe Gorgeous gave off.
Then, there's the fact that Gorgeous has long winded, purposeless narration. We read pages of gossip-column like "memories" or information on fictional celebrities. It just went on and on. Again, felt more like a long, real-life gossip column than a book.
For me, the story was not that original and was full of crass, crude moments – sucking the class out of what little was redeeming about the novel.
You know, I hate to disagree with Meg Cabot – who has a praising blurb on the book and a high rating for the novel on Goodreads – but Gorgeous was NOT a book for me.
Maybe it will be for you?

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown
In Tana's world, Coldtowns exist.
They are walled cities in which quarantines were set up to house the monsters that came into the spotlight long ago – blood thirsty vampires, and the humans that are desperate to be them – or were trapped behind the walls when they went up.
With a tragic past that left an ugly scar on her arm, Tana knows the effects of getting Cold, the vampire infection that occurs when you are bit, first hand.
When one morning Tana wakes up, disoriented after a long night of partying, she finds herself surrounded by corpses. Everywhere she looks she sees people she's gone to school with for years – bloody and lifeless.
A vampire attack.
At first it seems she is the only survivor of the massacre, but then she finds her ex-boyfriend tied up in a room, fighting the first impulses of going Cold. He was bit.
With him is a painfully gorgeous, terrifyingly dangerous vampire – also tied up, and seeming in need of rescuing just as much as they.
Against her better judgment, she gets all three of them out of the house.
The only way to save them is to go to Coldtown…
This is the first Holly Black novel I've read. I've heard of her, of course. But really I was intrigued by the title of this novel and decided to give it a try without even bothering to pay much attention to what it's about.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was fantastic!!!
It's immediately fascinating, extremely original and very, very suspenseful. Holly Black puts a new twist on vampires, vampire lore, and a picture of what maybe the world would be like if vampires did all of a sudden become a real thing in the present-day world.
I was engrossed incredibly quickly and hungry for more after only mere pages. I loved the brisk, genuine, contemporary way it is written – and the fact that there is a dark, desperateness to Tana that makes her character interesting, disturbing, and altogether likable.
Revealing, flashback-like chapters give more insight into vampires, Tana's childhood and psychological state and Tana's friends and family – all of which is insightful and compelling.
Though seductive, alluring and increasingly romantic with time – the focus of The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is never ROMANCE. And I have to say thank God for that, because doesn't that get old??
No, the focus is SURVIVAL.
There's never a slow second, whether we're seeing character growth or plot growth – and I LOVED it!!!
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a refreshingly DIFFERENT vampire story – and I was glued!!!!!

The Path of Names
Dahlia Sherman doesn't want to go to a sleep away camp highlighting learning Hebrew and focusing on her Jewish roots.
She loves magic – magic tricks, sleight of hand, math and video games.
Yet her parents did not give her much of a choice when they dropped her off at Camp Arara.
Amidst her glowering and sulking, Dahlia can't help but acknowledge that there are a few things of interest going on. Such as two little girls who appear to walk right through the wall of a cabin.
Also, she starts to have vivid dreams of a young Jewish man decades ago being chased through New York. Someone she's never seen in her life.
Not to mention a huge maze with a mysterious caretaker that won't let anyone near it…
Dahlia figures she can manage a few weeks at Camp Arara if she has something to do.
The Path of Names lacked the humor, zaniness and quirkiness I expected from the cover and premise, sadly.
It focused a lot on Jewish mysticism but didn't make it compelling – in my opinion.
Plus, I can't say Dahlia was the most likable character either. She doesn't seem all that nice to her brother or her parents – and is often moody. Again, this was just my view.
I ended up skimming The Path of Names after giving it over 100 pages to grab my interest – and didn't. It just wasn't as fun as I expected!!
Of course, there are many bibliophiles who will gobble it up and be great fans of The Path of Names, though!
So check it out for yourself and see what you think!

Half Lives
It was an ordinary day for Icie.
She was being consoled by her best friend over the break-up text message she had gotten when her parents started to urgently reach out to her – telling her she had to get home immediately.
When she did, she didn't expect to be strapped with cash and given a backpack full of survival supplies – but that's what happened.
Then the gravity of what her parents were telling her started to sink in.
They were privy to knowledge that a major, world-changing bio-terror event would be happening very soon and they wanted to get to a bunker in Vegas before it happened.
Or rather, get Icie to a bunker.
Getting there and then staying there ends up being more terrifying than she could imagine.
Hundreds of years in the future, life has changed. People live and worship in the very bunker Icie is desperate to reach.
They don't leave. They fear terrorists.
Their leader is Beckett, a teenager that has ties to Icie.
Generations apart, Icie and Beckett face the threat of extinction and the fight for survival…
For me, reading Half Lives was a given after having read Sara Grant's debut, Dark Parties, a while back and LOVING it.
Here, though, I wasn't as in love…
I was much more captivated and interested in Icie's story than Beckett's.
The future that was being presented was confusing and felt a little familiar – and its use of bizarre new vocabulary made it hard to take seriously at times.
Then when it came to Icie's story there was a thrill, a danger, a horror that was represented well as we see the world swiftly fall apart and her try to follow her parents' wishes despite it all. Yet… even her story began to wear a little thin.
I kept waiting for a bit more to happen. Though there were moments Half Lives still managed to give me chills and touch me, I never felt it reached its full potential.
The alternate point of view in the future really didn't connect with me, which I think was one of the main reasons I had issues with it.
After giving it my best try, I finally began to skim the future side of things.
Sadly, I didn't feel Half Lives was nearly as powerful or original as Dark Parties.

The Watcher in the Shadows
In the summer of 1937, fourteen-year-old Irene Sauvelle's family has moved to the coast of Normandy for a fresh start.
Still mourning the death of her father, they are struggling to find happiness once more – a new normal.
When Irene's mother receives a job offer from a wealthy, reclusive toymaker she takes it. The toys he makes are automatons – some of which almost appear to have a life of their own…
Their slowly healing family gets a shock when a young girl is found dead in the forests surrounding the toymaker's mansion.
Suddenly all of the ghost stories they've heard since moving to their foggy home become more possible.
It seems that there is an evil – and a mystery surrounding it – pervading their new town.
In order to keep her family from undergoing yet another loss, Irene knows that she must figure out what it is…
The Watcher in the Shadows is very successful at being quietly suspenseful, creepy and atmospheric. It also has a strong sense of summer, and memories.
However, I was concerned very early on that I was guessing the big twists to come.
In the meantime, the story told itself very smoothly, keeping a tense yet calm-before-the-storm vibe throughout.
I do wish that animals did not so often pay a price in horror stories. But I digress.
Sadly, the smartest decisions aren't always made in The Watcher in the Shadows but I did feel pulled into the supernatural tension. And really the premise is pretty hair-raising. Respectably chilling.
I've never been one to deny being freaked out by, say, ventriloquist puppets. Automatons are right there. Almost worse, because they can and do move/talk on their own. They are fascinating, though.
The Watcher in the Shadows is darker that what you would expect for younger readers, but it's a good ghost story.
Unfortunately, my concern that I was correctly guessing the big twists? Well, I was right.
So, it was predictable, and not altogether original – but decent.

3 Sow Hill Road, Beverley, North Humberside, HU17 8BG
Share this property:
The Old Smithy House stands proudly on an elevated plot along the main street of this popular East Riding village Etton. The original house dates back to 1874, with the current owners opting to extend the property to now offer over 2,500 sq ft of internal living space. The excellent range of accommodation is ideal for a growing family, with a stunning and well manicured split level rear garden that has been carefully landscaped over the years by the current occupiers. Located at the heart of this home is the spacious open plan kitchen/dining/day room with views over the garden and offers an ideal place to socialise and entertain. There is also two further sitting rooms to the front, utility room and cloakroom wc off the kitchen also. At first floor there are four bedrooms including the master en-suite bedroom with dressing area and en-suite bathroom. A traditional family bathroom also. Outside, a gated entrance opens out to the generous gravelled driveway area to the side, with the property set behind a beautiful retaining brick wall. The property has oil fired central heating and Yorkshire sash style windows to parts.
A solid wood front door opens into the entrance hall with dual aspect windows to both sides, coving to the ceiling, radiator, dado rail and stair case approach to the first floor.
7.87m x 4.29m (25'10 x 14'1)

Haryana excise and taxation minister Kiran Chaudhry has asked the Union finance minister P Chidambaram for the release of part of the Central Sales Tax (CST) compensation due to the state for 2007-08 to 2010-11.
Against the total claim of Rs 6,639.91 crore made by the state for these years, Haryana had got Rs 4,105.18 crore, she said in a representation to Chidambaram.
The minister pointed out that reduction in the compensation claim had been made primarily on three accounts. Two of these, arbitrary assumption of revenue gain to the states on account of abolition of form 'D', and revenue gain assumed on the account of increase in lower rate of VAT from 4% to 5% were common to all states.
The third issue of concessional rate of 1% allowed by Haryana to Maruti Suzuki India Ltd was applicable only to the state.
"The claim made by Haryana had taken into account the concessional rate allowed to Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. Accordingly, the finance ministry has dealt a double blow to the state by making deduction on this account," Chaudhry said.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved to dress up in hats... she had a wide brimmed straw hat that she wore on sunny days, a floppy black velvet hat with roses on for everyday, and a large collection of different woolly bobble hats for the cold Scottish winter (and sometimes summer) weather. But her favourite hats were those found in her dressing up box... a red velvet pillbox with sumptuous amounts of feathers and veiling, a little black cocktail hat topped with a black satin bow and a wedding veil made from the softest ivory tulle fabric with gold stitching and pearls.
This little girl grew up, and as she did, her love of hats grew too and one day when she couldn't find a hat to suit her budget she decided to try her hand at making one herself instead. Her friends all asked "Where did you get that hat?". "I made it myself." She proudly replied. "Wow! Could you make me one too?" They would ask... and Off With Her Head Millinery was born.
I'm always learning new skills and trying new things with my millinery. I love creating eye-catching vintage inspired hats, fascinators and hair accessories that speak to your own quirky individual style. I specialise in alternative bridal wear; helping you create your amazing alternative wedding day! I work within your budget, striving to create quality pieces at reasonable prices, that are as unique as you are!

The Acronauplia
The rocky peninsular of the Acronauplia comprised the walled settlement of Nafplio from ancient times until the end of the 15th century. The Acronauplia walls bear witness to its rich history, which it must be confessed, is a little difficult to follow, due to its long uninterrupted inhabitation. The current form of the castle, although quite changed by modern intervention, basically crystallised during the Frankish and first Venetian occupations from the 13th to 16th centuries. Evidence of a pre-historic settlement has been found, and on the west side, a section of the ancient polygonal walls from the 4th century BC has survived. There are also remains of the walls from the Hellenistic and Byzantine periods. From 1210-1212, when the Franks invaded the city, they divided the Acronauplia into two enclosures that they called castles. More or less in the middle of the peninsular was the Castello dei Franchi, which was built to house the Frankish leaders and became the administrative and military headquarters of the city; while the Castello dei Greci, in the western sector, further up, was built for the Greeks. The Castello dei Greci must have existed during Byzantine times while the Castello dei Franchi must have been built a little later. The Franks built a wall between the two castles and a square tower in the middle of the hill, to control communication between them. In the eastern wall of the Frankish castle there was a gate protected by two circular towers and a triangular fort. This gate was decorated with interesting murals and became known as the 'Gate of Peace'. During the first Venetian occupation, and more specifically in 1470 during the command of Vettore Pasqualigo, the Venetians, threatened by Turkish raids, proceeded with repairs and extensions to the fortifications of the Acronauplia, under the supervision an important engineer of the time, Antonio Gambello. One of the first and most important projects was the addition of a new enclosure, the so-called Castello di Toro, below and to the east of the Castello dei Franchi. The name probably comes from the Italian word 'torrione', which means a large tower adjoining the walls of a fort. The Castello di Toro is still in good condition today and, after climbing the steps from the Catholic church, one can admire the imposing round tower with its crenellations, which protects the city gate; an excellent example of late renaissance style. Another work from the time was the so-called Traversa Gambello, which was designed to protect the Castello dei Franchi by the building of a second transverse wall between it and the Castello dei Greci. The gate between the two castles was reinforced with a polygonal bastion and a semi-circular wall with crenellations. During the years of the first Turkish occupation, there were only a few re-enforcements and additions made to the castle, which was known by the Turks as Ich-cale, in other words the interior castle. It was inhabited by ordinary citizens, Turks and Christians, as the officers' residences had moved to the lower city. In 1686, when the Venetians seized the city from the Turks, they ordered that there was to be no habitation of the castle. Those who were resident there would be moved to the lower city, which had been created using artificial banks at the end of the 15th century. The Acronauplia was from then on only to be used by the military. In 1829, Ioannis Kapodistrias, the governor of Greece, created a large barracks and a military hospital on this site. In 1926, the infamous prison was transferred from the Palamidi and housed in the barracks created by Kapodistrias. In 1937 these prisons also became civil and operated there until about 1960. The demolition of the prisons began in 1970-71 in order to construct the 'Xenia Pallas' hotel, which involved the destruction of a large section of the walls and buildings of the Castello dei Greci. At the same time, Kapodistrias' military hospital was also demolished. The only thing that remains of the hospital is the chapel of Aghii Anargiri. Today, one can visit The Acronauplia climbing east from Staikopoulos Park through Arvanitias Square, or climb the steps from the Catholic church through the Castello di Toro. It should be noted that the three enclosures of The Acronauplia can be seen best from the Palamidi.

Melbourne, Oct 4: A Catholic primary school teacher in Australia who raped and performed indecent acts on 13 students aged nine and ten, has been sentenced to ten years jail though he could be let out in six.
Gerard Byrnes, 61, of Toowoomba, had 44 offences against him, and they included him brazenly raping girls at his desk during class, the Courier Mail reported.
At the Toowoomba District Court it was revealed how on two occasions Byrnes called girls back to the classroom at little lunch, pulled down their underwear and performed sex acts on them.
The court was also told how even after a girl complained to the principal his offending acts continued for another year.
Byrnes has served 23 months in pre-sentence custody.

Lately, I have been really into Vintage Clothing (even though sometimes it kind of smells funny) it's unique, there is most definitely a story behind it (whether you know it or not) and it's classic – it has already stood the test of time. I know a few vintage stores in DC but since none are near my house and driving in DC is a disaster, I always find myself looking up stores online.
Some of my favorites are: If Pockets Talked - I discovered this through Nicole Richie (you know, my bestie)…so I knew it must be good, William Vintage - WAY out of my price range but still fun to look + it's a Rachel Zoe favorite, Posh Vintage – they have an entire section dedicated to Pucci (obsessed!), What Goes Around Comes Around – would love to add one of their vintage rock tees to my collection (when they go on sale, obviously) and Nasty Gal Vintage – trendy vintage at a flea market price (well, not really but most items are pretty reasonable).
I just love looking at these sites, even when I don't plan on buying anything (window shopping online!). I am scouring these sites at the moment, since my goal this year is to find a vintage fur (Sorry PETA!).
Do you like vintage clothing? If so, I would love to hear what your favorite online stores are!

I'm a huge fan of Chris Guillebeau, and not only because I love his almost unpronounceable last name – a novelty to those of us named Smith. He's written 2 books, The Art of Non-Conformity and The $100 Start Up. Both are fantastic and I recommend them often.

text: Good evening, fine Arrsers! I'm feeling a bit confused right now and would really appreciate any advice you can offer. I am currently applying to join the Army as a CMT, and I am waiting on my date for selection, having had my interview with the Sergeant Major at my local AFCO yesterday. However, during the course of the interview he informed me that he felt that perhaps I was more suited to becoming an Officer. I achieved decent GCSE grades at school, but they were not as good as they should have been, as I was rather an under-achiever in my teenage years - a fact I much regret. Bottom line is, I don't have the qualifications to go straight into Sandhurst. The SM said, however, that it may be possible to be selected from early on in a soldiering career to receive a commission. So, my questions are; How often does this happen, and what are my chances? Many thanks for your time.

Bernard rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns, and caught eight passes for 53 yards in Oregon State's 31-28 upset of No. 2 California at Berkeley last Saturday. His 1-yard touchdown lunge in the final quarter on fourth-and-goal put the Beavers ahead to stay as the team improved to 4-3 for the season.
Bernard now has 3,400 career rushing yards, third at OSU all-time and 14th in Pac-10 history. He needs 225 yards to catch former Beaver Steven Jackson, who is 10th all-time in the conference. Bernard in on pace to finish the regular season with 1,289 rushing yards which would give him the sixth-highest overall total in league history with 3,937.
This is the first time this year an Oregon State player and the first time in Bernard's career that he has been named a conference Player of the Week. Linebacker Alan Darlin and kicker/punter Alexis Serna were also nominated for the honor on defense and special teams, respectively.

Evaluation of strategies to reduce nitrate pollution of groundwater
assessing the needs and efficiencies of agri-environmental measures for selected groundwater bodies in Germany
Ralf Kunkel, Michael Eisele, Frank Wendland
Ralf Kunkel, Research Centre Juelich, Institute for Chemistry and Dynamics of the Geosphere, Wilhelm-Johnen-Str., 52425 J�lich, Germany, Phone: ++49 (0) 2461 61 3262, Fax: ++49 (0) 2461 61 2518, E-mail: email@example.com
Diffuse nitrate pollution, river basin management, EU - Water Framework Directive, multicriteria assessment, nitrogen reduction measures
Introduction The implementation schedule for the EU water framework directive requires the establishment of river basin district management programmes until 2009. In Germany, the reduction of nitrogen load into groundwater, mostly caused by diffuse emission from agriculture, is one of the most challenging tasks. Within the EU-Life project WAgriCo (Water Resources Management in Cooperation with Agriculture) nitrogen management options adapted to hydrological and agro-economic site properties are developed and implemented for three pilot areas in the Federal State of Lower Saxony using new participation approaches and technologies suitable for programmes of measures to reduce diffuse pollution from agriculture. Objective The definition of environmental objectives is an indispensable precondition for assessing the required amount and efficiency of water protection measures. In the WAgriCo-project a nitrate concentration in percolation water of 50 mg/l has been defined as the environmental target for groundwater protection. This value, however, is regarded as an average for a larger area defined by the groundwater bodies and their hydrogeological subdivisions rather than as for each individual site. For each of these subdivisions, the current pressure of agriculture to groundwater is quantified. For the evaluation of the amount and efficiency of certain water protection measures, the required reduction of N-surpluses to accomplish the environmental target needs to be quantified, using the current status as a reference. Methods A integrative macroscale agroeconomic-hydrogeological model is used to simulate the interactions between agricultural practice, nitrogen surpluses and the nitrogen flow through the soil and aquifer to the outflow into surface waters. The actual nitrate concentrations in percolation water are calculated for the entire Federal State of Lower Saxony on a 50 x 50 m resolution considering site-characteristics, N-surpluses, water balance and denitrification in the soil. The tolerable N-surpluses needed to meet the environmental target are quantified as averages for each of the hydrogeological subdivisions by �inverse� calculation using this model system. The required reduction of N-surpluses can then be estimated by comparing the tolerable N-surpluses to the actual state of nitrogen emission. Conclusion Within the WAgriCo project a number of measures and measure combinations with detailed management prescriptions were selected and evaluated with regard to its potential N-surplus. By using the nitrogen export model their effects are assessed with respect to the nitrate leaching to groundwater and surface waters. The measures effectivenesses and its needs are evaluated area-differentiated for each of the areas considered.

Report Models
A report model is a business description of an underlying database that is used for building ad hoc reports. A report model is an additional layer of information that maps database tables and views into concepts that are meaningful to business users. A well-designed report model should reflect the information that business users want to report on organized in a meaningful way.
Report models are created in Model Designer and then published to a report server. Report models are then used in Report Builder as the basis for collaborative ad hoc reporting. Different users who have permission to work on the same report can refine it over time by adding and modifying filters, formulas, or even the type of information that is included in the report.
A report model can have a different meaning depending on how you use it.
To a business user, a model is a container of things to report on. For example, a model designed for Sales reports might contain data descriptions for Products, Customer Orders, and Shipments.
To a model designer, a model is a collection of entities, attributes, and relationships that describe individual data points (such as Product ID), combined into larger logical groups (for example, a Products entity that includes Product ID, Product Name, and other product-related data items), and then related to other groups to reflect the real-world relationships between business functions and processes (for example, how Products relates to Inventory and Sales).
The purpose of a report model is to remove the need for specialized knowledge that prevents some business users from creating their own reports. Report models eliminate knowledge requirements for building query construction, data source connections and authentication, expressions, filters, and parameters. All of these aspects of report design can be built into the report model, allowing business users to focus on the data of interest.
|Report models are not based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) or other model specifications. Report models are not compatible with other modeling tools or languages. To create, publish, and use report models, you must use the authoring and deployment tools provided in Reporting Services.

1 Relationship between collective agreement/arbitration and law
2 Alexander v. Gardner-Denver 416 U.S. 36 (1974) Voluntary filing of a grievance under a CBK alleging discrimination does not foreclose employee from filing suit under Title VII ee must meet jurisdictional requirements –CBA does not waive an employee's statutory rights –arbitration and EEOC/courts different forums with different authority arb - interpret CBK EEOC - enforce Title VII
3 Waiver of Statutory Rights? MUST an employee use the (grievance and) arbitration procedure? Gilmer v. Interstate/Johnson Lane Corp., Sup. Ct., 500 U.S. 20, 1991 –Nonunion brokerage firm employee who had agreed to arbitrate any employment controversy required to arbitrate age discrimination claim –agreement to arbitrate a waiver of right to sue
4 Waiver of Statutory Rights? (cont.) Wright v. Universal Maritime Service Corp, U.S.Supreme Court, 1998 –Is there a conflict between Gardner-Denver (ee covered by a CBA may go to court on statutory claim regardless of outcome of grievance procedure) Gilmer (ee may waive statutory right to file if ee agrees to submit dispute to arb)
5 Wright (continued) Incorporation of statutory law in CBK does not alter fact that this a statutory claim, not a claim under CBK Presumption of arbitrability only extends to those issues which can be decided better by arbitrators than by courts - issues under CBK, not a federal statute Waiver of statutory rights must be "clear and unmistakable; must be "explicitly stated" in CBK –Court unwilling to infer a Gilmer-like individual waiver of statutory rights from a collective agreement No explicit incorporation in agreement of ADA, as there was with OSHA
Relationship Between External Law and CBA " The dispute in the present case, however, ultimately concerns not the application or interpretation of any CBA, but the meaning of a federal statute. The cause of action Wright asserts arises not out of contract, but out of the ADA, and is distinct from any right conferred by the collective-bargaining agreement.... To be sure, respondents argue that Wright is not qualified for his position as the CBA requires, but even if that were true he would still (emphasis in original) prevail if the refusal to hire violated the ADA." 6
14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett, U.S. Supreme Court, 105 FEP Cases 1441, 4/1/09 Employee covered by a collective bargaining agreement that requires all discrimination claims to be submitted to the grievance and arbitration procedure as the sole and exclusive remedy does not have the right to file a federal anti-discrimination claim through EEOC and courts; e.g., the agreement to arbitrate statutory claims is enforceable 7
Penn Plaza CBA Language "§30 NO DISCRIMINATION. There shall be no discrimination against any present or future employee by reason of race, creed, color, age, disability, national origin, sex, union membership, or any other characteristic protected by law, including, but not limited to, claims made pursuant to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the New York State Human Rights Law, the New York City Human Rights Code, … or any other similar laws, rules, or regulations. All such claims shall be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures (Articles V and VI) as the sole and exclusive remedy for violations. Arbitrators shall apply appropriate law in rendering decisions based upon claims of discrimination."
Penn Plaza Rationale ADEA does not prohibit union from bargaining in good faith for a CBA provision that requires all employment discrimination claims to be remedied through grievance procedure and arbitration –Courts may not nullify a CBA provision unless it is clearly illegal –No ADEA prohibition on judicial waivers of right to sue under ADEA Individual employee may agree to a judicial waiver, per Gilmer Collective bargaining representative may agree to a judicial waiver for represented employees 9
Penn Plaza Rationale (cont.) Gardner-Denver –addressed question of whether an arbitration provision could preclude an employee from pursuing a subsequent statutory claim No requirement in CBA that discrimination claims must be submitted to grievance and arbitration procedure –did not address question of whether CBA that requires arbitration of such claims enforceable Penn Plaza does not involve a waiver of statutory right to remedy ADEA claims, only a change in forum
Penn Plaza Rationale (cont.) Courts over the past three decades have become increasingly comfortable with arbitration as a means of resolving statutory disputes Possibility that individual interests of employee will be subordinated to collective union interests irrelevant –Not part of statutory structure –NLRA had majority rule as governing principle Union actions limited by –Union duty of fair representation –Union liability under ADEA for discrimination
Penn Plaza Dissents Stevens: No reason to overrule precedent –No changes in governing statute –Court views on superiority of judiciary to address discrimination claims still relevant (Gardner Denver) –Union has no authority to waive a judicial forum for a represented employee (Wright) Individual employee may waive own right (Gilmer) Souter: Precedent should not be overruled –Majoritarian nature of CB unsuited to enforcing individual rights –All courts of appeals have supported principle that CBA cannot waive individual federal rights 12
Arbitration Proceeding In Penn Plaza, Union did not take cases to arbitration but permitted employees to take cases to arbitration –Suppose union filed grievance but lawfully refused to take case and lawfully refused to permit employees authority to arbitrate case? –Suppose employer has refused to arbitrate because it claimed only union could take case under CBA?

We are taking our first trip to Alaska in June with 5 day land package (Denali/McKinley) before the 7 day cruise south to Vancouver. I have a large camera backpack that holds
a DSLR, 3 lenses and a flash. It is heavy but I don't mind the extra weight. Still I wonder about excursions to glaciers, flyovers, whale watching, etc.and schlepping the big bag with me in wet conditions vs. getting a high end point and shoot and leaving the big camera at home or back on the ship. Has any other amateur photog taken the big bag only to regret not traveling lighter?

We are taking our first trip to Alaska in June with 5 day land package (Denali/McKinley) before the 7 day cruise south to Vancouver. I have a large camera backpack that holds
Report Abuse
Only you know your style and if you will regret not having the big camera. That said, for a short trip, I would get the small one that will fit into a pocket and not have to worry about when out in the elements even if I took the big one. We did have several days with very wet weather when we were there, but that is not what everyone sees.
I'm paranoid enough to worry about the very expensive camera equipment getting stolen, "lost", or damaged on this type of a trip. I'd leave the big one at home, but I'm a carry on only if I can type of traveler.
Report Abuse
My husband went through the same dilemma you are facing when we went last summer - and ended up taking the 'Big Boy' or Junior, as we lovingly call the fully-packed bag. He wasn't sorry since the rules are a little different in Denali from other NPs. Where in Yellowstone, etc you can get out to take animal shots, in Denali there is a strict 'no one off the bus' rule - so you are limited to what you can get out the bus windows. In fact, there were several times he was (gently) reminded that the lens was not to stick out the window! Their reasoning makes sense and seems to work - but they will explain all that to you on the ride.
That said, when we went out on boats to glaciers, walk-abouts, in small planes, etc he chose what lens he expected to want, stuck another in his pocket and off he went. It did rain on us much of the time we were in SE Alaska and on the glacier tours - you might want to look into a 'raincoat' (yes, they make them!) or just take several large ziplock bags and sturdy rubberbands and improvise to protect the camera.
I did have a decent point-and-shoot but honestly was quite happy to let him take the photos. He got some amazing shots and we had a very special trip. Can't wait to go back!
As far as damaging or losing any of his equipment, his comment is always "That's what insurance is for - and then I get an upgrade!"
He did download and back-up his pics each night so if anything was lost, it wasn't pics of the entire trip...
You will have a wonderful trip! Relax and enjoy!
Report Abuse
Why can't youe lens stick out the window?
Report Abuse
In Denali, the no lens out the window rule might be for the tours run by the concessions run for a cruise lines, but the National Park service has busses that you can get off and hike along the way. You would have to take the camera as you would be getting on a different bus (when there is room) to continue the trip.
We were on one of the concession busses and could only get off at specific stops along the route, mostly where there were toilets. Probably that was because we had to get back at a specific time to meet the train.
Report Abuse
You can get off to hike, yes, but not for animal sightings - their premise is that the animals are used to the sounds of the buses but not the sounds of people so they aren't skittish and run off when they hear the buses come by - thus they don't want anything to 'distract' the wildlife by seeming 'alien' to the standard bus noise - voices thru windows, lens sticking out, etc. The other reason was the avoid the situations in parks such as Yosemite where the animals associate people with food, etc so they are trying to limit the amount of people/wildlife interaction - seems extreme I know but when you are there you play by their rules.
He managed to prop his largest lens up on the opened window to steady it and they were fine with that.
We went into the park on both the Park Service buses and on a private lodgings bus - the rules were the same on both. We weren't on any of the buses run by the cruise lines but all the buses, regardless of source, were limited to get-out stops at specific visitor areas. The attitude there is 'protect the park first' - not necessarily a bad one, IMO.
Report Abuse
I carried the big bag, and I'm glad I did. I know one can get excellent pictures with some of the compact cameras, but I do better with the DSLR, and I would have been sorry to miss out.
I bought one of those plastic bag like covers, (this one: http://www.amazon.com/OP-TECH-USA-Rainsleeve-18-Inch/dp/B000PTFDYO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365085029&sr=8-1&keywords=camera+rain+sleeve )
in case I wanted to use the camera in wet weather, but did not end up using it at all. But then, we were pretty lucky and didn't get much rain.
Report Abuse
Thanks. Lots of good advice. I decided to bring the Big Bag but may shop for a second camera body so I always have both wide angle
and telephoto ready to go. And thanks for the tip on the rain coat for the camera. Great idea!
