Ducking the Price War, Target Highlights Fashion
Just a couple of years ago, Target (TGT) was the darling of discount shoppers. The retailer profited from exclusive, stylish goods created by such big-name designers as Isaac Mizrahi and Michael Graves. But in today's rocky economy, Target seems out of fashion. Same-store sales are down, and net income is sinking. Even Target executives pin the troubles in part on the widespread perception that the chain is more expensive than Wal-Mart (WMT) because of its focus on trendy clothes and home accessories.
So how is Target revising its sales strategy as it heads into the holidays? It is actually ramping up its designer collection, with more labels than ever. But the $63.4 billion company is also recalibrating its marketing pitch to highlight low prices. In other words, customers can have hip brands and afford them, too.
Target is smart to stick with discount chic, retail analysts say, because it highlights the chain's differences from rivals. "During the economic downturn, it is critical to give the consumer the ability to say, 'This is special,' when buying," says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market researcher NPD Group in Port Washington, N.Y. "Designer partnerships become even more important to give stores added value."
Trendy Labels
This fall, Target will feature 22 top designers, including Jonathan Saunders and Anya Hindmarch, in its 1,648 stores and on Target.com. That will be Target's largest roster of trendy labels since the retailer first promoted its "design for all" brand message in 1999.
Consumers may think otherwise, but Target's average prices fall within 1% to 2% of Wal-Mart's, including designer collections, says Charles Grom, a retail analyst at JPMorgan Chase (JPM). To drive that point home, Target is playing up deals in newspaper ads, says Kathryn A. Tesija, executive vice-president for merchandising. And in stores, new, prominent signs shout out not only designers' names, but also how much their products cost. "Our emphasis is now on the 'pay less' side of our 'expect more, pay less' brand message," she says.
The Minneapolis company is also trying other tactics to take on discounters such as Kohl's (KSS) and fast-fashion chain H&M, which have taken pages from Target's designer playbook. For example, limited-edition clothes from young fashion designers under Target's Go International banner are now on store shelves for 45 days at most. That's down from two months last year and three months in 2006, when Target launched this initiative. The newest Go International designer, Jonathan Saunders, whose high-end skirts cost $1,600 in boutiques, will be selling $26.99 miniskirts in Target from Oct. 5 through early November.
There's no doubt that Target could use some sizzle. In its fiscal second quarter, which ended on Aug. 2, profit slipped almost 8%, to $634 million, with sales at existing stores declining 0.6%. By comparison, Wal-Mart Stores, which seems more in tune with tough times thanks to its everyday-low-prices message, reported a 17% rise in second-quarter earnings, to $3.45 billion, while its same-store sales increased 4.5%.
Still, designer fashion is a magnet. Heather Windham, a 35-year-old social worker in Columbia, Mo., says she has trimmed her clothing budget because of higher food and fuel prices and recession worries. But when she shops at Target for inexpensive necessities such as kitchen utensils, she always strolls by women's apparel to see what trendy clothes are on display, like the $15 shirt by designer Mossimo Gianulli she picked up recently. "I know I might find a cute top there," she says. "And I like the clothes better at Target than at Wal-Mart."
But the most telling sign that Target's design strategy resonates comes from Wal-Mart. This fall, Wal-Mart will roll out dresses, pants, and skirts by high-end designer Norma Kamali in 350 of its 3,500 U.S. stores. And at $20 and under, they'll be priced even lower than Target's designer threads.

Dementia Enhances Inhibitory Actions of General Anesthetics in Hippocampal Synaptic Transmission

In order to investigate whether dementia modifies the anesthetic actions in the central nervous systems, we have studied effects of general anesthetics on the hippocampal synaptic transmission using the dementia model mice. Preliminary in vivo experiments revealed that time of loss of righting reflex following sevoflurane inhalation was more shortened in dementia mice than in healthy control mice. Field population spikes of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons were elicited in vitro using orthodromic stimulation of Schaffer collateral commissural fibers (test pulse). The recurrent inhibition was enhanced with the second stimulating electrode placed in alveus hippocampi (prepulse) to activate recurrent inhibition of CA1. The prepulses were applied as train stimuli to activate release and then deplete γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA) at presynaptic terminals of inhibitory interneurons. Sevoflurane and thiopental had greater actions on inhibitory synaptic transmission in dementia model mice than in control mice. The pre-pulse train protocol revealed that the anesthetic-induced GABA discharge was more enhanced in dementia mice than in control mice. Dementia enhances the actions of general anesthetics due to the increase in GABA release from presynaptic terminals.

Farm dams and summer holidays
January 08, 2014 , 10:39 AM by Jo Printz
On average, five to six children a year drown in farm dams and other bodies of water Australia-wide.
Most are under the age of five, and a third of them are visitors on the farm.
That's why it's important for farmers and landholders with dams on their properties to carefully consider their safety pre-cautions over the summer holiday period when children are more likely to be active outdoors or visiting and unfamiliar with their surroundings.
Southern Rural Water has more than 3,000 dams registered across the southern half of Victoria and estimates there are thousands more smaller domestic and stock dams on rural properties.
SRW's General Manager of Groundwater and Rivers, Craig Parker spoke with Jo Printz on the issue, and you can listen to that audio here:
Some tips to consider where possible:
* secure fenced-in play areas
* have interesting play items readily available and located away from dams, like sandpits, swings, cubbies, balls etc
* cover water hazards near the house, such as old tanks and troughs

This scary clown won't creep in the night, but he might just roll and jingle for you.
Made of a pink and yellow celluloid (an early plastic), this little guy measures 8.75" high and approx. 4.25" wide.
His face paint is a little chippy ~ the way we like it here at the Black Widow ~ and he has a few scuffs and scratches from child's play and storage over the years.
This heavier, roly-poly toy wobbles on his round base and has a functional chime in his belly. We don't see a maker's mark so we are uncertain of its maker.
This vintage clown is guaranteed to make someone very happy...if it doesn't scare you first.

Transfering otocinclus
So i have four otos in a 10g for 2 weeks now, i plan on moving them into a new 20g long, will i have to let the tank run for a little while or can they go after cycling the tank for a day?
If you can transfer mature, submerged plants, they should be able to find lunch.
What do you mean "cycling for a day"? I would not put Otos into anything but an established planted tank.
Hi fishkeeper01,
+1 for Razorworm's comment. Otos are sensitive to water quality,if a tank is not fully cycled the ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates spikes could easily cause death. I don't add Otos to my tanks until I see diatoms or soft green flat algae types. If you are running out of food in you 10 gallon try Hikari Algae Wafers or blanched zuchini or cucumber.
We might need more info to help :) Is the 10 gal cycled? ? Are you moving the Otos to the main tank after quarantine or are you upgrading to a 20 gal? If the 10 gal is cycled just move the filter to the 20 gal along with the new filter (or put the media from the 10 gal's filter into the new filter if it fits) which will keep the 20 cycled for the Otos assuming it's a new uncycled tank.
I moved 3 oto's into my community tank after quarantine for 2 weeks, 1 of them died, I think due to ph differences. There was a 1 degree difference from tank to tank, and he was dead within 6 hours. I must agree oto's are very sensitive after my experience.
Last time i moved otos I drip acclimated them like I do for my shrimp. All 3 lived a good 4 months until sandy hit and we lost power. I definately recommend the drip method for otos since they are so sensitive
I am upgrading from a 10g to a 20g long.
There is no such term as 1 day cycling. Otos will die for sure if the tank has spikes in water parameters.
Also, they starve if there's no plant that grows some algae on their leaves. Get some Anubias and have it grow GSA on the leaves by putting it in a high light spot.
I have hard, PH 8.water. The first time I tried Otots, I dripped them for an hour, then put them in an empty qt tank. The tank had little algae and no visable diatoms. Just a few potted plants. I tried waffers, spinach and zucchini. They would pick at it but not eagerly eat. They all died. The next batch I dripped for 4 hours and put directly into an established heavily planted tank. They almost immediatly started cleaning the glass etc and chowed down on waffers etc. After a month, I moved their fat bodies to a community tank. Since the collection methods for these guys is so rough and they dont travel well, it is important to treat them with care, People say that Otos are sensitive and hard to keep. This is only true at first, Once brought back to health, they are very hardy. Again, consistant water paramaters are the key to success.
I bought a single oto, drip acclimated it for about an hour and put him in my moderately planted tank, 20g long.
After some research it sounded like he would be better off with a partner or two, so I got two more a few days later. Drip acclimated the same and added them to the tank. I was worried there wouldn't be enough algae in there for them to eat but they seem to do just fine. They aren't fat like I've seen some otos, but their bellies aren't sunken.
I cut up some cucumber, threw them in the freezer and put a couple half slices in the tank a couple times a week. I anchor them with a toothpick in the gravel. I've seen them all eating on the same cuc before, which is sweet. Turns out my red honey gourami really enjoys them as well. My otos never ate any of the algae wafers I put in there.
+1 for drip acclimation and adding them directly to a nicely established tank.
so after proper cycling will the otos be able to be moved along with the other fish to the 20?

NFL: Steelers do their part, but get left out of playoffs
PITTSBURGH — Forget the 0-4 start. Forget the remarkable finish, the one that kept the Steelers in the playoff picture until the final minutes of the regular season. There's no such thing as partial credit in the NFL.
"We were an 8-8 team," safety Troy Polamalu said.
And they're one that will spend January at home for a second straight year.
Le'Veon Bell ran for 90 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers drubbed the lifeless Browns 20-7 on Sunday, though Pittsburgh's bid to become the second team in NFL history to go winless in September and make the playoffs ended when San Diego edged Kansas City 27-24 in overtime.
"We are going to build on this," quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "I think we have put together a good foundation."
It's one that went 6-2 over the final eight weeks, recovering from an ambarassing 55-31 loss Nov. 3 to New England to play perhaps the best football in the AFC by someone not named Denver in the second half.
Cleveland didn't exactly play angry while letting the Steelers roll to victory for the 26th time in 31 meetings since the Browns were revived in 1999.
Roethlisberger passed for 179 yards and a touchdown against two interceptions as Pittsburgh won its third straight to avoid the franchise's first losing season since 2003.
"Guys just kept fighting," Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward said. "Wasn't anything glorious or something beautiful, we just came out of nowhere."
Jason Campbell completed 23 of 41 passes for 240 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Josh Gordon caught seven passes for 82 yards to finish with an NFL-high 1,646 receiving yards, a first for the franchise. It proved little solace on a wet, miserable day at Heinz Field in which Cleveland looked very much like the same old Browns.
Cleveland was largely noncompetitive over the season's final three months, with seven losses by a touchdown or more, including two to the Steelers by a combined 47-18.
There is no sense of panic in Pittsburgh. A season that appeared teetering on embarrassment after the record-setting loss to the Patriots ended up with a decidedly rosier finish.
The Steelers scored on the opening drive, a 9-yard strike from Roethlisberger to Jerricho Cotchery, and it was more than enough. Whenever the Browns threatened, they found a way to botch it. Twice they failed on fourth-down attempts in Pittsburgh territory and didn't reach the end zone until Campbell found Fozzy Whitaker on a 35-yard pass with 2:46 remaining.
By then most of the attention had turned to the scoreboard, where the biggest roars were saved for scores by the Bengals and Jets, who then won to boost Pittsburgh's playoff chances.
Kansas City nearly did the same, but Ryan Succop missed a 41-yard field goal with 4 seconds left in regulation and San Diego survived.
Still, the Steelers remain convinced better days lay ahead, thanks in part to Bell's rapid development. He broke Hall of Famer Franco Harris' team record for total yards from scrimmage by a rookie by combining for 96 yards in the muck at Heinz Field. Bell finished with 1,259 total yards in just 13 games, 24 more than the mark of 1,235 Harris set in 1972.
Bell's 5-yard touchdown burst in the second quarter, which included a nifty spin move in the backfield, gave the Steelers a 14-0 lead at the break. It capped an 87-yard drive in which he touched the ball 10 times in 14 plays.
That was plenty for a rejuvenated defense that sacked Campbell three times, including a strip fumble by defensive end Brett Keisel, likely playing his final regular-season game of his 12-year career with Pittsburgh.
Despite the outcome, Keisel isn't closing the door on a return.
"I still feel like I can play," Keisel said. "You know, we'll see."
Just not until 2014.

The designers of these things just don't get it - touch controls simply don't work for a bedside radio. Who wants to open their eyes and focus on the screen when they are half asleep. Tactile controls, please.
@Martin - I'll second that!
I got one of these (ex-demo) from John Lewis just after Christmas, and I must say I like it a lot - it's replaced my bedside light AND lets me charge my phone overnight - gone from three sockets to one and takes up less space than my old alarm clock and light. I haven't had any problems with the light or volume not ramping properly, maybe it's just the unit you had for review?
I also really like the dedicated buttons for the alarms. By pushing them they cycle the alarms through "On" > "Off" > "Skip once", so if you need to be up earlier than usual one day you can just set your usual alarm to skip (without needing to turn it back on again) and click on another one for that day. It also lets you set alarms to go off only on weekdays, only at weekends, on specific days, or every day, which is really handy.
I wish it had a proper volume knob, and I don't really have any use for the mood lighting/sounds, but that's about all I dislike.
@Martin & KultiVator: You only need to use the touch controls when setting the alarm. When it goes off you can either snooze it by touching the glass or turn it off entirely by hitting the off button in the lower-right corner, which is fairly easy to find even when you're half-asleep.
@maniacyak - thanks for the hands-on feedback. Reckon I could live with touching the glass to kill the alarm. Pure make nice gear - suspect the volume / light fading issues were just down to pre-release firmware slipping out on the review unit.
@KultiVator - believe what you see with Pure, not what you hope to see, not what they promise for the future.
@maniacyak - can you switch between presets without opening your eyes?
Not a bad unit. I do have a problem with the sounds. I'd like to go to sleep listening to the waves lapping against the beach.. or the rain beating outside. Only the recordings are so short that they loop every 30 seconds or so and rather than being soothing they are intensely annoying as you start to recognise the nuances. Pure - if you are ever going to do a software upgrade of this unit, then please make the sound recordings loops of at least 20 minutes length otherwise they are not fit for purpose
Can anyone tell me why the light comes on in the middle of the night and at random times in the day? Have I pressed something I shouldn't? The light comes on some nights, not every night and when I touch to switch it off it won't go off and I have to press the daylight button but then it comes on again, maybe 5 or 6 times before it actually stays off, by then I am wide awake. It also comes on at random times in the day. Is it faulty? Should I take it back? Only had it a few weeks. Is it me?
@ Sharon - I have just bought one and it's doing the same as yours. Did you solve the problem or send it back?

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: Replacement: None. There is no direct replacement for this part, however check the gyro category for our other gyros. This page is for reference only.
The ADXRS MEMs gyroscope from Analog Devices is a great sensor. The BGA package has hindered users for long enough. You can now use gyroscope rate sensing in your own projects with this miniature breakout board from Spark Fun Electronics.
Units come fully populated and tested with an empty 0.1" spaced footprint ready for a straight header, right angle header (recommended), or your own wires/umbilical cable.
Not sure which gyro is right for you? Our Accelerometer and Gyro Buying Guide might help!
Dimensions: 0.60"x0.60" (15.25mmx15.25mm)
Weight: 1g without header
Resources and Applications (Inverted / reverse pendulum robots, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, etc.):
We're torn because our users want the range of output bandwidths. We choose a large bandwidth allowing the customer to reduce the bandwidth as they see fit for their application. Adding an RC filtering will help a lot for 10Hz applications.
The Analog Devices evaluation boards set the bandwidth to 10-Hz which what I need, the Sparkfun breakout boards seem have the BW set much higher >300Hz.
Is there provision on the breakout board to adjust the bandwidth by modifying Cout? Or do you recommend putting an RC-filter on the output to reduce the BW?

How to tighten nut with bolt in jump rope?
Another option would be, but won't allow the i bolt to spin freely, to get the nut down into the handle and use a straw to line it up with the hole. Get a straw that is as close to the inner diameter of the nut as you can. Make sure that straw is going into the handle several inches. Now you can fill the handle with a good epoxy. The straw should keep the epoxy from getting into the nut. Once the epoxy it dry the straw will be stuck there but shouldn't hinder you from getting the bolt in lace too much. The added bonus is it will be a tight fit and the straw will kind of act like lock tight and prevent the thing from moving at all.
Generally the rope is threaded through the handle and attached to whatever anchor is being used then the rope end and anchor are pulled back into the handle. If you want the rope to freely spin in the handle then find something that will accommodate that. Something that can be attached to the rope after it has been threaded through the handle. Something as simple as enlarging the hole in the top of the handle and tying it off to a small ring should do the trick.

This symposium, held at King's College London, where Derek Jarman studied English and History from 1960 to 1963, commemorates Jarman's lifelong engagement with early modern drama and culture in his films, sets designs, art and writing. It is at King's that Jarman first read Christopher Marlowe's Edward II, the play which he returned to again and again after his HIV diagnosis in 1986. Jarman's fascination with the early modern period as a queer precursor of his own time went beyond the drama of Marlowe, however, and informed his set designs (both at the Slade and for Ken Russell's The Devils, 1970), his choice of subject matter for several of his films – from Jubilee (1977) and The Tempest (1978) to The Angelic Conversation (1985) via the decade he spent working on Caravaggio (1986) - his life-writing and even the design of his famous garden in Dungeness. The symposium will include panels on Jarman's Shakespeare, Jarman Beyond Film, Edward II, Jarman's Punk Alchemy and Derek Jarman: History and Memory, with speakers approaching the subject from a range of disciplinary backgrounds: queer studies, film studies, early modern and medieval studies and life-writing research. Additionally, keynote lectures by Jim Ellis (University of Calgary), Kate Lilley (University of Sydney), Pascale Aebischer (Exeter University) and Jeffrey Masten (Northwestern University), will focus on Jarman's Caravaggio, his Angelic Conversation, the unpublished screenplays for Edward II and the film of Edward II. Symposium participants will also be invited to visit Derek Jarman: Pandemonium, the immersive exhibition that forms part of the Jarman 2014 series of events. They will have the opportunity, the night before the conference, to attend the premiere of Andy Kimpton-Nye's documentary film The Gospel According to Saint Derek in the Anatomy Museum at 5pm on 31 January (see below for details). This will be followed at 6pm by Remembering Derek, a conversation between Neil Bartlett and Simon Watney. They will introduce the continuous screening installation of The Angelic Conversation in King's College Chapel which will start at 7pm, and run for 24 hours until 7pm on 1 February.
Film Screening:The Gospel According to St Derek17.00, Friday 31 January 2014Anatomy Museum, 6th Floor, King's Building
Andy Kimpton-Nye will present the premiere of his new documentary film, The Gospel According to St Derek. Using interviews with close family, friends and collaborators who reflect on the ten commandments of independent film-making, the documentary bears witness to Derek Jarman's unique modus operandi as a low-budget, independent film-maker. Anecdotal, serious and humorous in turn, the documentary acts as a rallying cry for film-makers today.
All welcome, no need to book.
This event is jointly organised by Pascale Aebischer (University of Exeter) and Gordon McMullan (King's College London) and is supported by the London Shakespeare Centre, Shakespeare Bulletin and the Centre for Early Modern Studies, University of Exeter.

[Moses Uliny] My name is Moses. I'm from Sudan. I came to Australia in 2000.
[Ivka Stanic] My name is Ilka. I arrived in Australia 30th May 1987.
[Ande Juricevic] My name is Ande Juricevic. I arrived in Australia on the 2nd of November 1966.
[MU] The reason why I left my country is because of war. The war started when I was not born in 1983, and then I was born in 1984. Then I have grown up in it until I joined the army and I spent 5 years in the army. I leave my mother, my father, my sister and my brothers and friends, but after all I realised that even though I stay with them and there is war it is still nothing, no fighting, so if the government say we want your son to go and fight then they don't have power to ??? me and I don't have power to refuse, so I have to go.
After I left the army I went to a refugees camp where many African refugees were put in care and when I went there I started school and I met many pupils who were Sudanese - my tribe, my clan, and I stayed with them for 5 years and actually life in the camp is different from life in Sudan.
[AJ] I had to leave my country because it was impossible to have a decent life. This was the plane that we took from Vienna, Austria, then to Melbourne. It was the first time I've ever been on a plane or saw one. That's me and my husband and our friends who travelled with us. We landed in Sydney. Where I came from, it was really hard for me. We didn't have anything, we were poor. Sometimes we didn't even have anything to eat. That was why we left. There was no jobs available. We weren't allowed to mention god or any religion. You are not allowed to say much. There was no freedom.
When we left for the journey it was very hard. For me it was hard because I was leaving my family behind, my brothers and sister. We decided to go to Australia. First we went through Croatia by trains, then by tram to Slovenia. When we arrived in Slovenia we walked up into the mountains, travelled by foot all the way to Austria. We crossed the border and looked for the police. The police took us to the immigration camp. We stayed at the shelter for 24 hours until they checked all our background information. From there they took us to another immigration camp.
On our journey I remember it was hard. It was raining heavily and was really cold. We didn't have anything to wear, we slept in the mountains. Rain was heavy, frost was falling. It was really hard for us. When I first arrived in Australia it was awkward and hard. We didn't know anybody. We didn't know how to speak English. We didn't know how to read. We didn't know anything and we had no money. It was hard for us - really hard. We thought a lot about back home and what we left behind and if there is a way we would go back, but we had to stay at least 2 years. But after 2 years we go tused to it. Somehow we got on our feet and realised we didn't want to go back.
[IS] My homeland is called Croatia. Before I left my country it was really hard, especially for the young people - there was not many jobs, not much opportunity even though most of us finished tertiary education, but we still didn't have a chance to work. I was 24 years old when I left my country. How did 24 year old girl feel to go to something new? I suppose I feel excited, thinking, "oh yeah, you succeed somewhere, whatever..." And sad too, you know, homesick. I don't jknow, it's very hard to explain now after 20-something years, but that's what it is now, there's nothing I can do about it.
As a young person you don't think much and I suppose that's when you're going to go and live your life and that time I didn't think much. But as years pass, yeah of course, you grow up without brothers and sisters and without your mother. I haven't seen my brothers and mother for 14 years. My brothers were small kids, when you go back and see them, they're grown up men with their own families. That time you'll never make up, there's no way in the world you make up. So, now I feel sad, but at that time I felt excited, I'm going to live my own life. It's a differe nt mixture of emotion. I can't really explain that much, but you miss a lot, your family, parents, a lot.
[AJ] When we first arrived in Australia, we landed in Sydney. After that we went 24 hours by train to Bonegilla. In Bonegilla we were in the immogration camp for about 14 to 15 days. Then I found my cousin who lived in Myrtleford. She came and picked us up and took us to the tobacco farm where she lived. When I left Croatia to come to Australia, it was so hard. My mum was 8 months pregnant and three of my sisters were only little and two of my brothers and it was so tough for me. I knew that they didn't have anything like I did. When I go shopping I always thought how it would be to share it with them, but it was impossible.
[IS] My brother was 21 or 22 years old and you can't be there. It's really, really hard to understand, I suppose for the people living normal lives with happiness and everything, they will never understand. But for me, in the year 1992 I would give anything in the world, a million dollars to just be there, but it's not a possibility so you just pass day by day. And then, nearly ten years later, when first time after about fourteen and a half years I went back to my country, I felt like a stranger.
First, there was ruins everywhere, people were bitter normal more finished than this one and they didn't get nothing there was hurt. Then I went to the graveyard and all those people that went to school with me, you just read the names, and that's the young people - 30 years old, 40 years old, 20 years old, 16 years old. It's really sad and hard. In a sense, probably we are lucky but it's really hard, really, really hard.
And that's why when you ask do I feel happy in Australia, I don't know how to answer that question. For example, my children were safe, sound sleep, but then on the other hand there is the brothers and sisters and cousins that suffered. So I don't really know how I feel. And it's sad, very sad.
[MU] When I left Africa I thought "where am I going? Is it a good place or a bad place? How will it be? And how can I go who with? Who will stay with me when I go there?" When I came to Australia, I spent two hours at Melbourne airport waiting for my cousin to come and pick me up. So actually when the plane landed everywhere is lighting, and I compared, oh, it will be a fantastic place because everywhere is lighting. It is not like ???, it is not like Sudan where I was, no, it is a different world. Whatever you want to do you can because Australia it is a country of freedom and there are many opportunities, opportunity for studying, opportunity for work.
[AJ] My dad passed away last year and now, after 60 years I can't remember having any alone time with my mum, one hour, two hours, let alone a day or two, a week, that was impossible. Finally, after 61 years, I am going overseas to spend alone time with my mum for a few months. If I can. I don't know what more I can tell you. That was how my life worked out, and how it all happened. And today I still thank God that everything worked out OK. And if things could be changed it would be better, but that's how it had to be, and it was the journey I had to go through. Thank you.

We just stumbled upon this clip of an RS 3 test mule wearing S3 skin and yeah umm… we are in love! The 2.5L TFSI produces 360 HP in the previous generation TT RS and RS 3. We'd imagine the quattro GmbH engineers have been able to massage more power out of this already potent engine. The engineer driving is really hustling it around Nürburgring and we cannot wait to see how it drives in its final tuning setup. Call, email, tweet to Audi let them know there's interest in the RS 3 and let's hope Audi of America listens and brings this one over for us enthusiasts.

How can I get rid of these #@$% ants
Short of burning the boat, there actually are one or two things you can do. Sprinkle cinnamon, yep, cinnamon....it burns the ants feet or something like that. Buy a bottle of whats known as "Roach-Pruf" or something like that. The active ingredient is boric acid. It kills ants. You can also spread bay leaves around the boat. Ants don''t like bay leaf.
I know of some other things you can do, but they would turn your boat into a toxic waste dump. You might also want to wipe down any surface where they are found with bleach, and take no boxes or cardboard of any kind on the boat. All food stuffs have to be in plastic zip lock bags or sealable airtight containers like tupperware.
If you an get rid of the attractant...quite possible sugar or something else sweet... you will lick the problem. The little ants you are describing sound alittle like what we call "sugar ants". They are a nuisance, but you can get rid of them. Also, spray your dock lines all the way around with a bug killer.
How can I get rid of these #@$% ants
Ants have taken over my boat. I''ve sprayed, scrubbed, set traps and done everything I can think of to get rid of them. I don''t keep any food on the boat, so I can''t even figure out what they''re after. They''re the relatively harmess little ants, but they''re really plucking my nerves. I think they''re coming across the dock line, but spraying that isn''t helping. Any ideas?

CINCINNATI -- Jonny Gomes made sure the Cincinnati Reds' trip to the top would be more than a one-night visit.
Gomes completed a five-run rally in the seventh inning by hitting a three-run homer, and the Reds earned themselves a second straight day in first place by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 6-3 on Monday night.
Gomes' homer off Todd Coffey (1-1) sent the Reds to their eighth victory in nine games, a surge that moved them into the top spot in the NL Central -- a place they haven't been so deep into a season since 2006.
"It's going to be a battle from here on out," Gomes said. "We're wearing the first-place jersey now. We're going to get everybody's best shot."
Johnny Cueto (3-1) fanned seven and gave up seven hits in seven innings, including Corey Hart's solo homer. Hart also homered off Danny Herrera in the ninth.
The sleepy and slumping Brewers lost their season-high seventh straight, one that followed a numbing pattern. When the bullpen got involved, things fell apart.
"I've said all through this stretch, the intensity and the effort of the players has been good," manager Ken Macha said. "The games have been won or lost by how our bullpen is going."
For Cincinnati, this one was about staying power.
A fan wearing a Reds batting helmet and a red shirt with a "1" on the front danced in the second row behind the dugout when the team took the field for warmups, yelling: "First place! First place! First place!" The scoreboard made a point of emphasis to show the division standings, drawing cheers.
The move up has left the Reds' diminished fan base a little giddy. Cincinnati is coming off nine straight losing seasons.
Milwaukee is in an astounding slump of its own.
The Brewers are horrendous at home -- 4-14, the worst start in club history. They lost to Philadelphia 4-2 on Sunday night, completing an 0-6 homestand. They made the short flight to Cincinnati, landed at 3 a.m., and got little sleep before taking on a hot team.
Cueto was coming off the best game of his career, a one-hitter for a 9-0 victory over Pittsburgh on Tuesday. He got some help from his defense in this one -- two Brewers were thrown out at the plate, keeping it close until the seventh.
Francisco Cordero got the final two outs for his 13th save in 15 chances, retiring Ryan Braun on a fly ball with two runners aboard to end it.
Coffey took over for Yovani Gallardo in the seventh and gave up a leadoff triple to pinch-hitter Chris Heisey. Orlando Cabrera singled up the middle for a 2-1 lead, and Scott Rolen added a sacrifice fly. The Brewers intentionally walked Jay Bruce with two outs to face Gomes, who connected on the first pitch for his fifth homer.
"When the guy in front of you walks, you dig down a little deeper," Gomes said. "You have a quiet little character check. I was able to put a good bat on a good pitch."
Coffey gave up five hits and all five runs.
"Just embarrassing is what it was, plain and simple," Coffey said. "For me, it's unacceptable. There are no words to describe it right now."
Plate umpire Brian Gorman warned both teams when Coffey hit Drew Stubbs after the homer.
Cabrera extended his hitting streak to 10 games -- best on the team this season. The shortstop also nailed Alcides Escobar when he tried to score from third on a grounder in the first inning. Stubbs threw out Gregg Zaun in the fourth, when he tagged on Gallardo's routine fly to center.
- Former University of Cincinnati QB Tony Pike threw a ceremonial pitch. He was drafted by Carolina in the sixth round.
- Brewers OF Carlos Gomez, sidelined since May 6 by a strained left rotator cuff, is expected to start a rehabilitation assignment at Class A Brevard County on Wednesday.
- LHP Manny Parra will start the second and final game of the series. Parra has made 15 relief appearances. He started 27 games last season.
- It was Hart's second multihomer game.
- 2B Brandon Phillips' error ended the Reds' streak of 11 games without one, their best stretch since 1997.
- The game lasted 3 hours, 2 minutes. Milwaukee leads the majors with 27 games taking 3 hours.

This week at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES), JVC announced the world's first consumer grade compact 4K Camcorder. Dubbed the GY-HMQ10, the camcorder offers recording in H.264 at bit-rates up to 144mbps. It can shoot in 24p, 50p, and 60p modes courtesy of a ½ inch back-illuminated CMOS Sensor with 8.3 million active pixels. JVC takes the step of even boasting that the HMQ10's output resolution matches RED's "4KHD" mode offers (3840×2160). That's a tall order.
"We're witnessing the birth of what is destined to become a broad market for full 4K end-to-end production," said Edgar Shane, JVCs general manager of engineering. "The GY-HMQ10 is a breakthrough product that opens up 4K imaging to users who previously wouldn't have considered it."
The HMQ10 utilizes the recent version of JVCs Falconbrid LSI processor, which was previewed in prototype form at CES last year. Back then, it was showing 2K resolution with the promise of 4K down the road. Well we're down the road and that 4K resolution looks to be a reality. How it works is pretty straightforward, the Falconbrid LCI proocessing takes raw image data from the camera's CMOS device and uses a process called deBayers to dematrix the data in real time. Additionally, the HMQ10 is able to output 4K images to a monitor or projection system in real time with virtually no latency. This capability opens up applications in cinematography and live wide-view event coverage.
In addition to 4K recording, the HMQ10 can also record HD video in 1080p, or 1080i. In camera cropping can also be done from 4K to HD in real time during camera playback thanks to a "trimming" feature which is available through the camera's touch panel LCD monitor. The camcorder features an f/2.8 10x zoom lens with image stabilization.
Audio recording is done via in camera manual level controls on the LCD monitor and in viewfinder displays. It records audio via the built in shotgun mount and the two balanced XLR connectors with phantom power located on the handle.
OK, saying that the HMQ10's QuadHD processing can keep pace with the RED Scarlet is a pretty tall order – especially at that price point, but even if it's half as good, it could prove to be quite attractive to limited budget shooters looking to get some 4K footage in their quiver.
Available now for pre-order at a list price of $4,995, delivery for the HMQ10 is set for March 2012.

- Michelle Corvette-Williams
Sep 17, 2010 - LOVE HER. I know it's a Master Cuts, but Michelle knows her curls! I have lived all over the country and the hardest part about moving is having to find a new stylist. My hair needed a boost and I was short on time. Popping over to the local mall WAS a good idea even though I am not by any means a mall rat. Michelle gave my curls a dry cut. I felt like she really understood the type of cuts that work for curly hair types and wasn't just giving me a generic do. I'll go back to her for sure in the future. Your curls are safe in her hands.

Aug. 13, 2008
Tennessee head baseball coach Todd Raleigh announced Wednesday that Mike Corn has been hired as director of baseball operations. Corn replaces Alan Beck, who held that title at UT for one year before being hired as an assistant coach at Western Carolina University earlier this summer.
Corn's primary responsibilities at Tennessee include managing all baseball camps, oversight of student managers, serving as an academic liaison to the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center and assistance with on-campus recruiting.
In addition to having played and coached at the collegiate level, the Erwin, Tenn., native also boasts an extensive familiarity with the college and prep baseball landscape throughout the Southeast.
"Mike fits in perfectly with what this program is all about," Raleigh said. "I've seen his work ethic first-hand. He has strong baseball ties to the local area and the region. Our program will benefit from everything he has to offer."
Prior to joining Raleigh's staff at Tennessee, Corn spent the previous nine seasons as an assistant coach at Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn. He mentored the Pioneers infielders while also assisting with the outfielders and monitoring the team's academic progress.
Corn acted as head coach of Tusculum's junior-varsity baseball team during his last seven seasons there, and he also held the title of recruiting coordinator during his final two years with the Pioneers.
His nine-year tenure at Tusculum saw the program post eight consecutive winning seasons, four straight 40-win campaigns, three South Atlantic Conference championships, two SAC Tournament titles and four trips to the NCAA Division II Tournament. In all, the Pioneers posted a remarkable 301-156-1 run during Corn's time on staff.
In Corn's last four seasons in Greeneville, the Pioneers went 175-60-1. Tusculum turned in a sterling 50-14 record in 2007. The 50 wins remain a school and conference record and included a record 23-game win streak. The Pioneers finished the 2007 season ranked 18th nationally and were one of only seven teams in the nation with 50 wins.
Corn's time at Tusculum saw the program produce seven All-Americas, 13 All-Region honorees and 41 All-Conference selections. Included among that list are three South Atlantic Conference Players of the Year, two SAC Pitchers of the Year, two SAC Freshmen of the Year and one SAC Male Athlete of the Year. Additionally, 32 Pioneers garnered SAC All-Tournament distinction, including a pair who garnered MVP honors.
Under Corn's tutelage, the Pioneers built a reputation for producing some of the top-fielding defenses in NCAA Division II. In fact, Tusculum posted the top team fielding percentage in the South Atlantic Conference in five of his nine seasons with the program.
Corn's baseball instructional experience also includes time as a staffer at various summer camps and clinics--including nearly a decade of experience on staff during UT's summer baseball camps.
After a decorated prep career, during which he led Unicoi County High School to back-to-back TSSAA Class-AA state championships (1991-92)--while also garnering All-Upper East Tennessee and All-State acclaim--Corn began his collegiate playing career at Columbia (Tenn.) State Community College in 1994. He later transferred to Northeast State Community College in Bluff City, S.C., where he earned his Associate's Degree in 1996.
He completed his collegiate eligibility as an infielder at Coker College in Hartsville, S.C. During his playing career at Coker, the Cobras were a 1997 Team America Selection, and the squad also captured the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference crown in 1998. After batting .302 as a junior at Coker in 1997, Corn hit .375 in 1998.
He received his Bachelor's degree in Fitness programming from Coker in 1998.

The Atlanta Braves struggled and could not get anything going in game 2 of the series. They were shutout by the Washington Nationals 4-0 on Tuesday night.
The Nationals got their first and only run they needed in the 2nd inning. Steve Lombardozzi singled to right field to score Bryce Harper. That was the game's 1st run and it would stay that way until the Nationals added more in the 8th inning.
The Nationals got a home run, a double, and a single to score runs in the 8th inning. Ryan Zimmerman started it off with a home run to right.
It was then a double by Ian Desmond that scored Harper once again. Then it was Adam LaRoche who singled to center to score Desmond. That gave the Nationals a 4-0 victory on Tuesday night.
The Braves did not get much of anything going on in the game. They only accumulated 5 hits and could not put them together. Justin Upton, Freddie Freeman, Gerald Laird, Dan Uggla, and Elliot Johnson got the 5 Braves hits.
Game MVP:
Freddy Garcia: 7 IP, 1 ER, and 6 K's
Freddy Garcia was the lone bright spot for the Braves. He pitched well and kept the Braves in the game. Garcia got no run support in return for his good outing.
The Nationals have won the 1st 2 games of the series today. The 3rd and final game of the series is tomorrow night. The Braves have already lost a chance to close out the NL East against the Nationals. Alex Wood (3-3, 3.45) will look to turn things around for the Braves, as he takes on Ross Ohlendorf (4-0, 3.15) and the Nationals.

Skip to comments.Aurora shooting suspect jailed in solitary: All the inmates were talking about killing him
Posted on 07/26/2012 7:01:35 PM PDT by South40
'He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards,' a just-released inmate told the Daily News. 'He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy.'
Movie massacre suspect James Holmes remained unapologetic and irrational Saturday in a Colorado jail where his life was at risk from inmates bent on revenge. Holmes, held under suicide watch in solitary confinement, remained in his murderous Joker persona after arriving at the Arapahoe Detention Center, a jailhouse worker told the Daily News.
Lets just say he hasnt shown any remorse, the employee said. He thinks hes acting in a movie.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
I think he's acting crazy. He didn't act this way when he walked into the theater. It would have been noticed.
Shoe on other foot, huh?
See how it feels, Mr. Holmes? At the very least, you've had forewarning.
I read that he wasn't wearing body armor but just a vest to hold stuff.
Try him.
Convict him
Execute him.
He was caught red handed, do not let this little killer get off because he is play acting like he is crazy.
I think he's crazy. Any mass murderer is probably crazy. They definitely aren't normal. I also don't think it matters a whole lot. A feral human who is violent toward others, crazy or not, should be put down. I suppose one could argue the beast should be saved if it can be cured, but who can judge that?
Maybe the "Joker" can be a functional, non-violent member of society at some point. So what? He's already demonstrated the propensity for extreme violence, and I can't think of a single reason why he should ever be trusted again.
Why should a single innocent citizen's life ever be risked again to benefit the "Joker?" The best bet is to put him out of our misery by executing him. He voluntarily threw away his right to life and liberty when he murdered someone.
The loss of any human life, including his, is a tragedy, but he freely chose his path. He could have been a hero, a Batman so to speak, but he chose the Joker instead. Execute him.
its simple!...a jury of his peers gets to judge him 1st....God gets him 2nd and forever...
Any questions???
Some people need to be put down. They just do. This one has destroyed too many lives to ever be given another chance at living among the rest of us.
Think like Defense Counsel. What proof is there that James Holmes committed this act. He was found sitting in a car with a gas mask.
A second gas mask was found further away.
It is possible he is a mentally broken down patsy.
Maybe not probable.
But possible.
No explanation for that second gas mask found further away from that door.
His father was set to testify before Congress about a banking scandal. That is, MAYBE. I am having a hard time finding whether this is true. It may be a disinformation campaign.
Here is what I can find at this point
House Financial Services Committee planned on calling in professionals to testify about the Libor Banking Scandal
James Holmes father certainly has the credentials for it.
But the rumor that Holmes was going to testify is coming out of Russia. Certainly at this point it would have all been scrubbed.
The history of the family
The next part is the best part. Now he will go up against heavy weight psychiatrists and psychotherapists. His goal is con them into an insanity defense. For this he'll begin with a claim of total amnesia. He will appear drugged on the outside, laughing at the stupid peasants on the inside. He's smarter than all the rest. He can beat them at their own game.
The End Game? Ah! That is to be revealed. But it will take years. You'll see.
Five hundred people (excuse me, human targets) watch him kill them with their own eyes and your first reaction is he didn't do it???????????????? Man you need help more than he does!
The NRA and the Second Amenment did not create James "The Joker" Holmes. Harvey Weinstein's Hollywood did.
No, they didn't. They saw SOMEONE kill.
I said, Think like a Defense Attorney.
There was a second gas mask.
No one saw James Holmes kill anyone.
They saw SOMEONE with a gun kill a bunch of people.
Maybe it was James Holmes.
Maybe it wasn't.
Maybe it was the person wearing the second gas mask that was discarded outside the theater.
There are a lot of things that don't add up with this story.
And btw, the family has quite a history. The father is very well known in certain circles.
Why are the parents leaving the son to the public defender????????
And why all of a sudden are there reports out of Russia that Robert Holmes was going to blow open the banking scandal.
Who is behind that disinformation campaign (if it isn't true - and why)
Another interesting thing is the talk about getting rid of FICO
btw, there may be a lot of forensic evidence on James Holme's body that may indicate he is the killer.
But as for eye witnesses - no one saw James Holmes shoot.It could have been Gas Mask #2 guy.
I have a feeling that James Holmes is going to end up dead before trial.
If I had a lot of money and was well known in the banking field - and my son was accused of a horrible crime I wouldn't leave it to a public defender. Even if he was caught red handed with the gun inside the theater standing over a body - I would get a good attorney for my son.
Whether he's faking or not, I'd club him until he stopped spitting, then just drag him by his feet wherever he had to be moved to.
I didn't hear about the second gas mask. This one is just too bizarre.
And if the Aurora shooter should assume room temperature while in jail, this would be such a loss to the taxpayers [and criminal justice system]? Nope, it would be justice for the warped little scumbag.

There must be something about being the world's most powerful automaker that makes you just, you know, wanna spread some branding around like your showroom is a big slice of bread and your best-loved nameplates are just sweet, sweet chrome jelly. How else can you explain Toyota's attempt to expand the "Prius" into a three-car lineup, in the same way that General Motors gave us a veritable squadron of Cutlasses in the early '80s?
The original Prius, now in its fourth and most bizarre-looking iteration yet, is an unmitigated triumph that probably has more millionaire owners than the Bentley Flying Spur, but at the same time is often the car of choice for cost-conscious Midwestern families. The Prius V, on the other hand … well, let's just say that it isn't flying off showroom floors. The Prius C has been just as unpopular with buyers while also managing to become the subject of several negative reviews, including a one-out-of-five-star recap from Car and Driver.
"This is the perfect car for the person who doesn't care about what, exactly, he's driving," quoth AutoWeek, but over the past year The Littlest Prius has become quite popular with a section of the American driving population that really cares about what they drive — because it's how they are making a living.

Webinar: The Power of Connection- Attachment Theory and the Practice of Restorative Justice
When Wednesday January 29, 2014 @ 4:30 PM (1246 days ago)
Where United States
Duration 1 hour 30 minutes
Annmarie Early, professor of counseling in the Master of Arts in Counseling program, will speak on The Power of Connection: Attachment Theory and the Practice of Restorative Justice. Our understanding of what it means to be human is undergoing rapid change. We are learning that humans use emotion and patterns of connection and disconnection to navigate the world. Discoveries from neuroscience and research from attachment theory have paved the way for more effective practitioner intervention in situations of conflict. These discoveries both shift and sharpen our understanding of how change happens and are crucial for effective intervention in situations of conflict and restoration. This webinar will:
- Delineate basic attachment processes relevant to situations of conflict and restorative justice.
- Explore the implications of social baseline theory and activation of the social engagement system for human relating.
- Provide a lens for assessing key moments of rupture and repair.
- Describe the importance of attending to the implicit in order to facilitate resonance and attunement.
- Introduce "Affect Narratives†as an embodied pathway for creating personal and relational transformation.
Howard Zehr will facilitate the webinar.
This webinar is part of the Spring 2014 series of Real World Restorative Justice Webinars, a project of the Zehr Institute for Restorative Justice.

Batgirl Cape help?
View Single Post

Well, her cape is not a half circle, it's fitted (much like Batman). So the neck & shoulder area are completely different in their construction.
This isn't bad, it's got a collar, which you need, as well as the fitted shoulder. Major modification to the front is obvious.
The bottom points are easy if you are going to line the cape (which I recommend). Once you have the cape cut (without scallops) but not assembled, make a paper copy of the lower 12" or so. Determine how many scallops you want, I recommend an odd number (the art shows 5). Fold your paper template in half and work from the center fold out. measure the distance, divide by 2.5 and that should be the diameter of the circle you need. Use a compass and a ruler to draw out the half circles along the bottom edge of the template paper, starting with a quarter circle at the center fold. Because you are doing this on paper, you can tinker with it to get them just right, make them deeper or shallower curves, whatever suits you.
Once you like it, use this template to cut the bottom of your cape and lining fabrics. When you sew these two pieces together, remember to clip your curves and iron before attaching the cape to the shoulder pieces.
Nothing is impossible, but some things are very expensive.

Issue: If you install the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5, on top of Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack1, some CRT files will revert back to RTM version. (See this post for more information about this issue) This can cause conflicts when you install patches or updates such as the Security Update for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1: July 28, 2009 (KB971092), which may lead to compile errors similar to this:
· error C2039: '_Swap_adl' : is not a member of 'std' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\xutility 2764
· error C3861: '_Swap_adl': identifier not found c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\xutility 2764
Cause: This problem occurs when you install the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 on top of a post-RTM Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack, Feature Pack, or QFE. Visual Studio 2008 and the Windows SDK share compiler and CRT packages. Because the Windows SDK v6.1 includes the RTM version of the CRT, installing the Windows SDK second causes any non-versioned CRT files to be reverted back to Visual Studio 2008 RTM version. When you install a service patch, the patch will assume that all the SP1 files are still present.
Workaround: Ensure that you are using the Visual Studio 2008 SP1 version of the CRT by installing the Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5 first, then re-installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Then you can apply the Security Update.
Caution: Running "Repair" on the Windows SDK will cause the CRT files to go back to RTM state and should be avoided.

I-Team: Water Boss Traveling Globe at Ratepayer Expense
LAS VEGAS -- Budgets are tight for most public agencies, including water agencies.
The Las Vegas Valley Water District has cut its work force by 25 percent, shut down its offices on Fridays and canceled $400 million in capital projects because it lacks the money.
But one budget item remains where the money still flows: travel for the boss.
This week, the I-Team has been reporting on questionable spending by various government agencies.
Water district General Manager Pat Mulroy has one of the highest salaries of any agency chief in government. The public spends $354,000 per year on her salary and benefits. So when she takes an eight day trip to Israel, the public not only forks over the costs of her travel, but the $7,700 for Mulroy's services. If she is on the road -- which happens with amazing frequency -- it means she's not in the valley to do her job as head of both the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the water district.
When water bills for local business owners suddenly jumped 300 percent in June, hundreds of people worried they would be forced into bankruptcy. They came to the water board meeting to vent, but the person most responsible for the rate hikes wasn't there to face the music. She's in Paris, a spokesman told the I-Team, but at no cost to the public, a statement that proved flatly untrue.
"You know, in my role with the national organizations, I have an opportunity to travel around the country and tell people the story of Las Vegas," Mulroy said earlier this year at a water conference in Las Vegas.
Mulroy not only travels around the country, but the entire world. A lineup of expensive public relations firms hired by her water agencies have turned her into a water celebrity, and Mulroy seems to have embraced her star power, jetting all over the globe to speak at meetings and conferences, averaging almost two trips per month.
"It is apparent there is a lot of traveling going on," Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak said. "I can tell you, in all other county agencies I deal with, we have cut way back, if not eliminated travel. … She is gone a lot."
When the I-Team examined water agency travel two years ago, Mulroy and her chief deputy had been enjoying a binge of wanderlust. Forty-nine trips in one year for the duo. In one five-month stretch, Mulroy went to Zurich, Singapore, Stockholm and Vienna. A spokesman said at the time that travel for the two agencies would be cut in half.
Maybe so, but not for Mulroy. In 2011, for example, records show she took 21 trips costing the public nearly $45,000. The only elected official to publicly question Mulroy's spending is Sisolak, who's been told Mulroy's speeches are a real plus for reputation of our water agencies.
"Now, how you can quantify that, … and put a dollar amount to that," Sisolak said. "I haven't figured out. I don't think anyone has. I don't think it exists."
Those trips where Mulroy speaks to the legislature or to Congress are understandable, but it's the ubiquitous conferences in exotic locales that raise questions. In May 2011, the water district paid $11,000 for airfare to Australia where Mulroy was a keynote speaker at a four day junket. In the same month, she visited 4 American cities before a publicly financed jaunt to Tijuana. Two months later, she made a return visit to Stockholm, Sweden, an $8,000 tab for a six day trip. Then she was off for eight days in Tel Aviv, Israel, to deliver a speech and talk to Israeli water experts. In June 2012, Mulroy was out of town for 17 out of 30 days…nine of those days were spent in Paris, while hell was breaking loose back at home.
Knapp: "What do you think we got out of that (Paris trip)?"
Sisolak: "An exchange of information with Parisian water officials? I don't know."
Mulroy mostly flies in coach but even then, it can get pricey. On her latest trip to Sweden, she bought a nonrefundable ticket for $2,700, but because she wasn't able to make it in time for her return flight, had to purchase another round trip ticket at a cost of $4,680.
WEB EXTRA: Pat Mulroy's Travel Expenses
Receipts show many $400 per night hotel rooms and $500 to $600 meals. Travel also means she misses a lot of meetings at which millions of dollars in water contracts are awarded. She missed at least 15 water board meetings through August of last year. Sisolak said it is unfair to the public and to other agencies.
"We are facing an extremely difficult economic situation in all departments and the administrators, we have stressed, eliminate or cutback travel," Sisolak said. "It's not fair to them when you say, 'You can't go anywhere' and you have another person taking 15 or 20 trips in a year."
Mulroy declined to be interviewed for this report. No one from either of the water agencies would comment, either. We did receive a statement from the water authority which explained that travel is an important part of Mulroy's job, that many of her expenses are paid by outside entities, and that her travel represents less than "3/100 of one percent of the agency's annual operating costs."
Does anyone have oversight of Mulroy's travel? The answer is yes, sort of. A water authority board member must sign off on out-of-town trips. The person who signed nearly all of Mulroy's travel vouchers is North Las Vegas Mayor Shari Buck, who chairs the board. Buck has not only approved the travel expenses, she's also gone on some of the trips with Mulroy, including the previous week-long junket to Sweden.

My daughter, who is three, sent me a picture message from school yesterday (with the help of her teacher), and it just reinforced the reality that children are accessing the internet and mobile devices much younger these days. While the internet is such a valuable resource to bring concepts to life and research new topics, it also has large areas we would rather our kids not see. Figuring out a feasible plan to not only protect your kids from the seedy side of the internet but also explain to them why you're doing it can be a delicate balancing act.
The people at NetSmartz are trying to make internet safety and education a little easier. NetSmartz is divided into sections tailored for specific groups — parents, teachers, children, teens, and law enforcement. Within each subset you will find information and activities to help you create a workable solution to internet protection. As we zoom forward in the miniaturization of technology age, the issue of internet exposure to younger and younger demographics is only going to grow, it's a good idea to be proactive on self-educating yourselves on this.

Maia has entrenched himself as a top-10 fighter in the division and Shields is probably one of the 10 most accomplished welterweights in the sport's history.

Mass spectrometry is the gold standard method of chemical analysis. This is because of its general applicability, high sensitivity, and molecularly specificity. It applies to materials in all states and provides molecular, elemental, and isotopic information. It is especially valuable in characterizing the complex materials of interest in the biological and pharmaceutical sciences, in forensics, public safety, and environmental analysis. However, mass spectrometers have generally been large, delicate and restricted to use in the laboratory. To be more generally useful, and in particular to be useful to clinicians, first responders, safety officers, and on the factory floor, mass spectrometers must be miniaturized and they must produce almost instantaneous, readily understood data. A focus of our efforts is on miniature mass spectrometers capable of "ambient" ionization, i.e. ionization of samples in the open environment without prior preparation.
International Activities
The Center plans to cooperate internationally in research in instrumentation and in activities that promote ties between this region and other international centers.

Do Now
If you were king or queen of the Universe, what message would you leave behind that would become your legacy for centuries to come? What are some of the major accomplishments you hope to achieve? What will you do to make the world better?
Art School-featured artist Ala Ebtekar created a project in collaboration with students at the Asian Art Museum that was inspired by the Cyrus Cylinder exhibition. "Cyrus the Great" was the King of Persian in the 6th Century BC and was discovered in 1879 in Mesopotamia, the area that is now known as Iraq. On the clay cylinder are inscriptions about Cyrus' accomplishments and the legacy he left behind.
When the Cylinder traveled to San Francisco to be exhibited at the Asian Art Museum, Ala Ebtekar, whose work is influenced by traditional Iranian art forms, along with contemporary culture, set out to create a project that paid tribute to the Cylinder and involved a community of students. Students were asked to discuss their own ideas about legacy, and describe what they would inscribe on their own Cylinder. What would their accomplishments be? What changes would they like to see in the world, and how would they influence those changes?
Ebtekar collected recordings of students' responses and worked with his uncle, Ata Ebtekar, to take the recordings and engineer a special audio track that was pressed onto wax cylinders, which are an early form of vinyl records. The recordings were played out of a gramaphone (also known as a phonograph) at the museum as part of the Cyrus Cylinder exhibition's special programs.
Beyond this one-night event, Ala Ebtekar wants to continue the conversation with people around the world, and launched the Cylindr.us web site as a space to collect student responses to the question about future legacies. Now is your opportunity to contribute to the project, an ongoing conversation among people all over the world. Tweet your response to the question, or even submit your response in video or audio format, and take part in this conversation about our future.

We encourage students to reply to other people's tweets to foster more of a conversation. Also, if students tweet their personal opinions, ask them to support their ideas with links to interesting/credible articles online (adding a nice research component) or retweet other people's ideas that they agree/disagree/find amusing. We also value student-produced media linked to their tweets like memes or more extensive blog posts to represent their ideas. Of course, do as you can… and any contribution is most welcomed.

Spark caught up with Ebtekar as he created work for "Emergence" at the Richmond Art Center during the spring of 2006. In the exhibit, drawings based on vintage Iranian photographs of gymnasts and wrestlers are combined with images from hip hop culture in an exploration of heroic icons. In addition to drawings, the artist also creates installations and sculpture.
Ala Ebtekar's website Cylindr.Us
Artist Ala Ebtekar will work with a number of collaborators to present Cylindr.us, a night of events surrounding the exhibition The Cyrus Cylinder and Ancient Persia: A New Beginning. Cylindr.us is a project in seven movements, each exploring another facet of the exhibition. The night examines why, more than 2,500 years after the Cyrus Cylinder's creation, the object remains so culturally significant, and how the legendary figure Cyrus the Great holds such strong influence on ideas about modern civilization. The project finds inspiration from the collaboration between the artist and Bay Area students. After a docent tour, students worked with Ebtekar to respond to the question, "if you were the Master of the Universe,thinking about your legacy, what message would you inscribe on a cylinder like Cyrus's?"

Police identify remains found at NM lake
CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico State Police have identified hum[auth] an remains found near Brantley Lake as those of a missing Roswell man.
The remains of Eric Ahlskog were found last week by hikers in an area known as Champion Bay.
State police spokesman Lt. Robert McDonald says investigators are still trying to determine how Ahlskog died.
The Carlsbad Current-Argus reports (http://bit.ly/U1NX2X) the remains consisted of a skull and several larger bones and that Ahlskog's identification card was also found buried under the soil of the dry lake bed.
Ahlskog was last seen on July 3, 2011, while he was camping at Brantley Lake State Park north of Carlsbad. Searchers followed his tracks until they disappeared, and U.S. Border Patrol search dogs sniffed out his scent until they lost it near a campground.
