At a young age, Taneka Davis knew just how hard life could be. At just 15 years of age, she was thrown into a county jail in Pittsburgh amongst hardened adult criminals after being arrested for aggravated assault and reckless endangerment of a bully who had terrorized her for years.
Davis, now 19, spent much of her childhood living in uncertainty, with her drug-addicted parents revolving in and out of prison on a regular basis. It rendered her unable to cope with life. So, she sought out the help of the Pittsburgh Urban League to overcome a tumultuous past and forge a new future.
Sharonda Pitteard, a 21-year-old single mother of two children from Louisville, already had a felony theft conviction under her belt when she arrived on the doorstep of her local Urban League affiliate. Fellow Louisville resident and single mother Ashley Burnley, 18, faced a misdemeanor charge for shoplifting when she passed through the affiliate's doors. Both wanted to get their lives together to serve as better role models for their children.
All three at one point in time represented a class of Black youth described by author Harry J. Holzer as "disconnected" in the National Urban League's The State of Black America 2007.
"They may be incarcerated or on parole or probation; they might be aging out of foster care or still attached to their nuclear families. But, overwhelmingly, they come from low-income families and often grow up in poor and relatively segregated neighborhoods," Holzer wrote.
Now, they're all recent graduates of the National Urban League's Urban Youth Empowerment Program that seeks to give at-risk youth and ex-offenders a second chance.
Compared to their male counterparts, Black women are much less likely to run afoul with the law: 36 in 1,000 are likely to be incarcerated in their lifetimes compared to 285 in 1,000 Black men, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Still, they're seven times as likely as White women to spend time behind bars or on probation.
While women are less likely than men to become entangled in the criminal justice system, they're more likely to have left a child or more behind upon incarceration. According to BJS, 64 percent of female inmates shared the same house with their children before entering the justice system, compared to 44 percent of male inmates.
To date, the UYEP, one of the league's most successful, has helped thousands of "disconnected" and re-entering individuals get second chances at a better life with educational assistance, skills training and on-the-job experience. But, with more than 650,000 ex-offenders – nearly 50 percent of them Black — re-entering society every year, the program barely makes a dent in the problem.
Fortunately, the U.S. House of Representatives seems to be seeing the logic of greater federal investment in programs such as UYEP. In early November, the chamber passed the so-called Second Chance Act, which authorizes more money for efforts to help current and former offenders to get a new lease on life.
The bill also establishes a federal re-entry task force and creates a national clearinghouse of information on re-entry programs as well as expands access to drug-treatment facilities and improves educational services offered. In the words of a New York Times editorial, it would "provide crucial help to people who have paid their debts to society."
As for UYEP graduates Taneka Davis, Sharonda Pitteard and Ashley Burnley, so far so good. Davis enrolled in a criminal justice program at a local university in Pittsburgh and landed a part-time job at a medical center, where she ended up working with the bully she had assaulted years before in a fit of fear. Pitteard is out of the drug treatment program, in her own apartment and is in a post-secondary education program at a local technical college. Her classmate Burnley obtained her GED a month after she entered the UYEP program and is now pursuing her certification in cosmetology with hopes of starting her own business one day.
All are examples of the "disconnected" population who, under the watchful eye of Urban League affiliates, put themselves and, in the case of Pitteard and Burnley, their children, back on the right track.
That is why it is important that our leaders pass the Second Chance Act soon and keep up their commitment to giving at-risk youth and ex-offenders a second chance, if not for the sake of current generations but of future ones. I urge the U.S. Senate to follow the House's lead and pass the legislation swiftly.
Marc Morial is president and CEO of the National Urban League.

Today Nokia released its financial Form 20-F to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission which outlines its long-term business targets and outlines their relationship with Microsoft. Amongst the dense financial lingo and obvious goals to grow their sales ahead of the market, while keeping costs down, came an interesting tidbit. In 2013, Nokia stands to receive more money from its partner Microsoft than it will pay out in royalties to them.
The relationship between the two giants is one of reciprocal payments and goes back to 2011. Like any manufacturer of Windows phones, Nokia pays a licensing fee to Microsoft to use their operating system. But unlike other companies, Nokia receives massive payments from Microsoft as part of their partnership to use certain Nokia functionality, such as mapping technology, and to help Nokia with advertising, their transition from Symbian and marketing.
The deal, which started in 2011, runs for five years. It has not always been, nor will it always be the case, but it appears that Nokia will make out ahead of its partner in the deal in 2013. Nokia states in the filing that the money it sends over to Microsoft in royalties will exceed what they get by about half a billion Euros by the end of the deal. But in a year where Lumia sales are strong and Windows Phone is making a big push, it could be useful to have that extra cash coming in.
The filing can be found in its entirety here.

A new market appeared for shells. The Japanese had discovered in 1909 that a mussel shell nucleus inserted into a pearl oyster produced a much higher quality cultured pearl than the lead beads they had been using. The size of the nucleus (not just the length of the growing period) determines the size of the finished pearl.
As World War II ended, soldiers returned with pearl jewelry from Japan. A demand was created for Japanese pearls. A revival in mussel gathering began during the 1960s when the Japanese who did not have a continuous source of mussel shell in Japan, expanded their search for shell material to use in cultured pearl production for trade with China and the United States. The Japanese bought and shipped train-car loads of Three-ridge, Pig-toe, Warty-back, and Washboard mussel shells from the Midwestern United States. A ton of shells yielded about 60 pounds of nuclei.
The process of making pearl nuclei is to cut small cubes of shell, tumble and pressure-grind them into small balls, then insert them into salt-water oysters. Within a year the oysters secrete a thin layer of nacre around the mussel shell to create a cultured pearl
. The nacre in the shell nucleus does not crack when the pearl is drilled for stringing.
This new market kept many Illinois musselers in business throughout the 1950s and 1960s digging shells for export. For example, in 1966 almost two million pounds of shells were harvested from the Wabash and White Rivers in eastern Illinois for this purpose, and shellers in Pearl, Illinois were still shipping shell to Japan in 1987.

(from Flying Tigers BMX Club, Sitterdorf, Switzerland)
The BMX Sidehack, aka sidecar. These mutants were birthed during the Old School Era of BMX, they largely disappeared except for some isolated cultural pockets in southern California and strangely sports clubs in Europe…kinda like the mullet haircut.
During the old school era, the start ramps may not have been as towering as today's elite concrete BMX stadium tracks, but overall the dirt tracks were typically downhill with less jumps, more favourable for sidehack races. Rather than being a passive passenger, the "monkey" pushes against a bar when the sidehack slows and moves his body side to side to keep the sidehack from tipping in the turns.

Paul McCartney to Appear on Hillsborough Charity Single
Liverpool's most famous son, Sir Paul McCartney, has contributed his vocal and guitar talents an upcoming remake of the Hollies' 1969 hit 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother.' The song, which will be released in the U.K. on Dec. 17, is expected to be the Christmas No. 1 single, a highly coveted spot in Great Britain.
Proceeds from the single will go to charities associated with the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy, when 96 Liverpool Football Club fans were crushed to death during the F.A. Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest at the Hillsborough ground in Sheffield. For years, the families of the victims have sought justice and a proper investigation into the tragedy.
In September, an independent panel concluded that the police had acted negligently during the event, and had removed or changed testimony in the original investigation to deflect blame onto the fans. A memorial with an eternal flame stands outside Anfield, Liverpool's stadium, in memory of the 96.
Using the name "The Justice Collective," McCartney joins, among other big names in British pop, Mick Jones of the Clash, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze, Robbie Williams and Mel C of the Spice Girls. Gerry Marsden of Gerry and the Pacemakers, whose version of the showtune 'You'll Never Walk Alone' is sung before every Liverpool home match, also contributed to the track.

Topic: A little confession
Alright I thought I would get this off my chest: I don't know if any of you remember, but a while ago, when you could type in any name you wanted in the chat room, there was an imposter. That imposter was me. I think since it's been a while I thought it would be appropiate to finally say it. So yeah I was the imposter, and yeah I just wanted to confess.

Rainbow Science
The rainbow is one of the most beautiful that nature provides the Secretary. In fact, their beauty has inspired countless people in many fairy tales, songs and legends, is so amazing. It has most of the writers behind the stories is entirely a good bet to be a magic show by the rainbow effect - most people are like today. However, the science of the rainbow is really very simple. This is just basic optics!
In the rectum of the rainbow is the refraction process. Refraction is the "bending" of light. If you're wondering how to bend light, it is a good question. It is to change the direction of the end is probably more accurate. When the light to travel from one medium to another, the direction of change, but most of the people see "bending." This problem occurs because of light travel at different speeds in other media.
To understand why light bends just went grocery shopping with a parent Imagine Cart is pushing the cart to the cart return "area, so you in the parking lot of a shopping cart pushing and parking for one" medium "is the speed of the cart, if you exert a constant force. the through travel, it depends on the medium - in this case, the pavement surface of the parking lot "
Now, I suppose, and in the parking lot next to the grass area that you decided to do a bit of a detour to go through. What happens when you push the cart out of the parking lot, the grass in the area, what happens? Lawn cart the other is the "middle". Grass medium because it provides more resistance, you are right on the grass, pushing a cart, the cart is simply speed. Takes more energy to move a shopping cart.
But you pushing a cart on the grass at an angle, something else happened when the right wheels for the first time to query the pool. While on the road, the left wheel will slow down the speed of the right wheel, left wheel some more move to the right wheel is moving more quickly because it has a pool and cart to the right changes. You when you move the angle from the lawn area, paved areas, wheel speed and another before the cart turns on.
Similarly, a beam of light is when you enter the glass peurijeumreul. Simplification, but it think this way: other, so before the beam at the boundary between air and glass, lightwave side down slows. One another before it's shut down when the prism because of the speed of (some of the light is actually reflecting prism surface, but most of the pass). Is light again.
In addition, the overall bending light, a prism to separate white light into component colors. Has it different frequencies travel at different speeds, causing different colors of light when they move through the problem.
Move more slowly in the glass when delivered to the air in the glass, the speed difference is more serious because the colors bend more sharply. Will it bend less sharply on the glass more quickly because there are a lot of moving color and does not slow down. People to pass through the glass into this way of colors that make white light are separated depending on the frequency. Prism, as shown in the glass bends the light twice, if you than the easily distinguished colors can be seen. This is called distributed.
Droplets of rainwater as a prism and refract light in a manner to be distributed. The right conditions, this refraction to form a rainbow.

Bardstown Police are investigating two reports of attempted abductions that occurred over the weekend in the Cracker Barrel parking lot.
On Friday, a female Cracker Barrel employee was walking from the area next to Chili's to Cracker Barrel when an old white van pulled alongside her at 1:30 p.m., according to a press release. Inside the van was a white male, possibly 50-60 years of age, with a scruffy beard.
The man allegedly offered a ride to the employee, who refused and continued walking.
According to the press release, the unidentified man persistently tried to get the Cracker Barrel woman into the van.
While walking to Cracker Barrel, the woman observed a younger white male in the rear of the van and some items commonly used by painters. She also saw that the side door to the van was open.
As the suspect drove next to the employee, the woman observed a man standing beside a truck in the Lowe's parking lot. She lied and told the suspect the man was her husband.
Once the suspect saw the man in the parking lot, he sped away from the area, according to the press release.
Police said the Cracker Barrel employee shrugged off the incident as "overzealous flirtation" and decided to "shrug off the incident."
Shortly after 3 p.m. Saturday, another female Cracker Barrel employee was walking to her vehicle in the restaurant's parking lot.
The woman noticed a white van parked next to her vehicle. The woman was reportedly unaware of what allegedly occurred the day before.
As she walked to her vehicle, she saw an older white male with "salt-and-pepper" colored hair leaning out the side door to the white van.
According to the press release, the man allegedly grabbed the woman's arms from behind and told her she "was going with him."
The employee screamed out and an unidentified man in the parking lot yelled at the suspect to "let her go," and the man began to walk towards the suspect, according to the release.
The man then entered the van and fled the area in an unknown direction of travel.
The vehicle is described as a white extended van. The first three letters on the van's license plate are JHL. Police said the female described what appeared to be some type of cage behind the front seats of the van.
Police believe both incidents are related because of the suspect, vehicle descriptions and the location of the incidents.
The incidents were not reported to police until 9:40 a.m. Sunday.
Bardstown Police are investigating both incidents.
Anyone with information regarding both attempted abductions are asked to call Bardstown Police at 348-6811 or Nelson County Dispatch at 348-3211.

Honestly, as much as I'd like to get them on sale, I'll buy 'em at full price...I just want like two more.
I think TRU is waiting for all their Star Wars sales to be over before they put these back on the shelves. They're exclusives and you'll just have to wait until they decide to put more out when you'll have to buy them at full price. [/end conspiracy theory]
Awesome!I got 4 so that I'd get free shipping and the deal. Probably won't keep them all, but it's nice to get another exclusive out of the way. Exclusive... I believe everything I need to finish out this year is an exclusive... Kmart 2 packs, Jocasta Nu, last vintage wave.

Almost two years remain before a NATO-led international military force in Afghanistan is supposed to turn over full security responsibility to the Afghan military. But the Obama administration and its critics are already sparring over the size of the residual U.S. presence that will stay on after 2014.
The administration indicates that it will amount to only a few thousand troops — some officials have even floated the notion that none would remain after 2014 — while its critics, including Republicans in Congress, have insisted that at least 10,000 and perhaps three times that number will be necessary to prevent Afghanistan from backsliding into instability.
We don't presume to know the precise number of troops that will be necessary in 2015 to ensure that Al Qaeda and associated groups can't use Afghan territory to launch further attacks on Americans, the rationale for the U.S. invasion after 9/11. But The Times' David S. Cloud and Alexandra Zavis report that the administration believes it could meet that objective with a "light footprint" strategy — similar to the one it has pursued in Pakistan — emphasizing commando raids and drone missile strikes against Al Qaeda fighters.
Both the president and advocates of a large residual force insist that Afghan forces are improving their effectiveness. Ideally that process will continue so that in 2015, the Afghan army can competently prosecute the war against Taliban insurgents without significant support from the U.S. military. Meanwhile, it is to be hoped, the Afghan government will root out the corruption that has undermined its authority.

First there was Nic Cage on Pokemon, and THAT was strange enough. Or so you'd think. Turns out that Pokemon's faces can get a little more alien, all with the help of the Pokebatchichooseyou Tumblr.
Yes, that's Benedict Cumberbatch's face, superimposed onto Pokémon.
Here are some more:
Really, using Pokémon as a template for other faces is a 'thing.' There's Nigel Thornberry on Pokémon, for instance. Who knows how many more of these things there are out there? What I do know for certain is: Oh, internet. I love you.

Re: Visual Studio 2008 Licensing Issues
I've been e-mailing support but they haven't gotten back to me in a week - I'm hoping someone here may have some insight.
I have Visual Studio 2008 (with Visual Assist installed, in case it's relevant), and I installed ViEmu. I convinced my manager it was worth buying for me, and he promptly got someone with a company credit card to buy it.
They sent me the license, which I promptly cut and paste into the dialog box that popped up - it told me to restart, and then notifies me that my license key is invalid.
We just received the license two weeks ago, so I know it's a current license. The license says it expires in 2011-07-29, so I'm not sure what's going on.
Pertinent details:
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- Visual Studio 2008 w/ Visual Assist X
- ... Not sure what else to mention. Ask if you need more details!
If anyone has any suggestions, I'll gladly take any of them. It feels unclean to not have normal mode at my beck and call.

This candy dish sat on my Grandmother's coffee table in the living room for as long as I can remember. She filled it with ribbon candy during the holidays. Not a kid's favorite candy but is sure was pretty to look at. Now it is filled with pink and white M & M's and was the starting point for my Valentine's Day display. I added another candy dish filled with hearts, a creamer with a dried rose, champagne flute and vintage pin.
That lidded dome was tall and I'm sure hard for little hands to handle. The rim of the dish has several chips but it does not diminish it's beauty. Kind of like lines on someones face, they added character.

Antievolution legislation in South Carolina
Senate Bill 873, introduced in the South Carolina Senate on May 21, 2009, and referred to the Senate Committee on Education, would, if enacted, require the state board of education to "examine all curriculum in use in this State that purports to teach students about the origins of mankind to determine whether the curriculum maintains neutrality toward religion." The bill further provides, "Related to non-religion, the examination must include a review as to whether the curriculum contains a sense of affirmatively opposing or showing hostility to religion, thus preferring those who believe in no religion over those who hold religious beliefs." The first year of the current two-year legislative session ended on May 21, 2009, so S. 873 is not likely to be considered until the second year begins in 2010.
A second antievolution bill, Senate Bill 875, was also introduced in the South Carolina Senate on May 21, 2009, and referred to the Senate Committee on Education. A version of the "academic freedom" antievolution bill, S. 875 provides, "Teachers must be permitted to help students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing scientific theories pertinent to the course. ... School governing authorities including, but not limited to, school and district superintendents, principals, and administrators, may not prohibit a teacher in a public school in this State from helping students understand, analyze, critique, and review in an objective manner the scientific strengths and weaknesses of existing scientific theories pertinent to the course."
Both bills were introduced by Senator Michael Fair (R-District 6), who spearheaded a number of previous antievolution efforts in South Carolina. In 2003, he sought to establish a committee to "determine whether alternatives to evolution as the origin of species should be offered in schools." The Greenville News (May 1, 2003), reported that Fair "said his intention is to show that Intelligent Design is a viable scientific alternative that should be taught in the public schools." In 2005, he introduced a bill modeled on the so-called Santorum language often misrepresented as contained in the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The bill failed, but Fair won himself a description as "the dominant voice advocating for S.C. schools to teach more than Charles Darwin's theories of evolution," according to The State (June 17, 2005). In 2008, he introduced a version of the "academic freedom" antievolution bill, which died in committee.
Updated December 14, 2009, to include information about S. 875.

Calendar gridlocks aggravate schedulers
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
Dear Carolyn:
I have three children under 8. Last summer, my niece and nephew both participated in travel sports, which took up nearly every weekend.
I know each family should do what is best for them, but this affects our entire family. Our parents are getting older and cherish seeing all of us together. I tried to put together a Mother's Day brunch, but it was the first tournament of the year for both kids. For our parents' 55th anniversary, my sister said the best they could do is a family dinner on a Tuesday.
I wish I could explain to her that fitness and sports are important, but she is encouraging her kids to sacrifice family time. My kids are in sports, too, but they are not nearly to this level of crazed involvement.
Should I discuss this issue with her,? How much should I visit my parents to make up for her absence?
— Sister Overbooks
Please stop making this about your sister's priorities. Judging her will only escalate this into a much deeper, more hurtful feud. Not to mention guarantee that one of your children will blossom into a surprising talent at some Time Consuming Pursuit, and you will be snacking on your current outrage till your own 55th.
Instead, ask your sister to join you, calendars in hand, in finding dates the whole family can get together.
Even without travel athletes, it's typical for three separate families to have a hard time lining up their free time, and that gives you two choices. You can insist on special dates and open yourself to all kinds of frustration, or you can embrace the idea that sometimes Christmas will be in January and your parents' anniversary will come a month late.
You, after all, in a way are sacrificing family time by insisting that you honor your mother only on Mother's Day instead of choosing a workable date.
Re: Sister:
But it really means one family controls the dates because they are sobooked. We specifically keep a few weekends free to catch up on errands, relax, etc., but my family member gets annoyed when we don't jump at the few days (hours) his family is actually available outside of their sports commitments. Frustrating!
— Anonymous
Sure, the busier people do drive the schedule, but that's just life, and the bigger person doesn't bean-count.
Some pursuits are more time-consuming than others. Is that cause for judging? Some families have more kids and, therefore, more stuff on their calendars. Is that cause for judging? Some people enjoy active weekends more than they do relaxing. Is that cause for judging?
It's a no-win, so I strongly advise no-play.
In your case, the problem isn't overbooking, it's your family member's annoyance, which is bean-counting, as well. Dropping the huffiness is his bigger-person prescription, and he's not taking it.
Still, the response to that is to say, "Hey, we all do what we can — we'll make it work next time."

Question: The other day I discovered my boyfriend had lied to me about riding with a girl coworker to a college football game in another state (he claims they only drove together, and didn't see each other at any other point during the weekend). He apologized profusely and said he never told me because he didn't want me to think anything was going on when it wasn't.
Would this be considered a white lie? Or just a flat-out lie?
And when is it considered OK to lie in order to protect someone's feelings? I have a feeling he should have told me the truth in this situation.
Answer: Of course he should have. Boyfriend of how long? Thanks.
Question: We have been "talking" for more than a year now, but he was hesitant to start a new relationship because his old one of three years didn't end so well (she started seeing someone almost immediately after they broke up). But we have been officially dating only five months.
Answer: That helps, thanks. The short answer is, flat-out lie.
The long answer starts here: You're new to each other, he's been burned before, and the details of your story (hitching rides, "girl coworker") point to a high probability of youth.
There are few circumstances where flat-out lies aren't a serious problem, but being young and insecure in a new relationship can be one of them.
Some people hit adulthood ready to tell the whole truth about themselves without fear of rejection or other repercussions, but in my experience they're the exception. For many (most?) young people (and some old ones), fear of consequences is powerful motivation to spin.
Of course, spinning backfires: If seeing the real versions of each other would break you up, then you don't belong together in the first place. It can take some hard experience, though, for this idea to override fears of getting "caught."
So. If your boyfriend in fact didn't stray but genuinely feared your reaction, and if experience (dysfunctional family, bad relationships, low self-esteem, your past overreactions, combinations thereof) taught him to associate truth-telling with punishment, then that would mitigate his lie.
Once. If he's telling the truth now, he can be forgiven, once, for misjudging you as someone who preferred a sanitized version of events.
Once, because now you establish who you are. You apparently want complete honesty, so say that: No matter how bad the truth, it beats a lie. Live it, too - both by being truthful yourself and by receiving hard truths gracefully. A lot of people demand honesty but then greet it with rage or silent treatments or a thousand verbal paper cuts whenever the subject comes up. Don't be that girlfriend. (Or the self-consciously "cool one"; that's another column.)
But, do recall my saying his lie "can be" minor. It can also, obviously, be serious. It's possible his "nothing happened!!!" is just another lie. Or, he could have a lie-first reflex that he can't or won't fix.
You won't know whether this is a fixable problem or a deal-breaking one without context. If you don't have enough yet, then accept what he says, then let time show you how well acquainted he is with truth. That's what dating is for.

Springtime in Japan and the northward march of the cherry blossoms is followed avidly on the nightly evening news.
Across Tokyo, the gorgeous early foliage of the plum trees is fading and being replaced by the ubiquitous cherry and locals are once again celebrating the earth's renewal in this most fascinating of cities.
Three years following the earthquake, tsunami and crippling nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan is coming to terms with the devastation. Many are still in temporary housing in the north and arguments rage about the future for nuclear power but the capital is buzzing again.
And no city buzzes quite like Tokyo.
From the latest and craziest of fashions to the freshest seafood in the world to architecture that is bleeding-edge cool, this is a city almost ahead of its time.
Yet suddenly times stops, reverses and you stare at an ancient Shinto or Buddhist temple or perhaps stand alone in a traditional Japanese garden transfixed by the sweet rhythm of life stretching back centuries.
Those elements often coexist. The Gyoen National Garden is a green oasis of an example, just a short walk from the Shinjuku rail station - the world's busiest with several million Japanese pouring through its portals daily.
Yet there's a respect and observance of personal space that goes beyond any other crowded metropolis.
This isn't New York, Hong Kong or Bangkok with teaming millions striving to push past. In Japan, politeness and order trump everything.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the design and efficiency of the subway system.
Tokyo is actually many smaller cities lumped together and, with a population which swells past the 13-million mark during workdays when commuters flood the capital, it needs a monumentally efficient transport system to link everyone together.
Fortunately for both those millions and tourists alike the system is a marvel, even if the first look at a subway map has most visitors contemplating a cab.
Once bested, the whole city opens up, from the exclusive shops and restaurants of Ginza to the discount electronic mayhem of Akihabara to the gorgeous art museums in the Roppongi Hills or the walks among the blossoming cherry trees in Ueno Park.
First-time visitors can get their bearings right from the city's geographical and spiritual heart - the Imperial Palace, which has been home to the Emperor and his family since Tokyo became the capital almost 150 years ago.
The palace is off -limits but the wide paths circling the surrounding moats and lawns are a great place to watch locals unwind - biking, walking, jogging or gazing in rapt awe for hopes of a glimpse of the royal family.
Something much more visible happens at nearby Ryogoku - sumo wrestling. Three major tournaments take place a year but at other times it is common to meet these remarkable men living and practicing near the national stadium.
For all this courtesy, the sincerity of the bowing and the immense patience shown with foreigners, it is easy to believe people never let loose and say what they really feel. A trip to a local karaoke bar will change such notions.
Can these be the same smiling, quiet people of an hour earlier that are now doing their best imitation of a rampant Freddie Mercury while drowning themselves in sake? Oh yes.
Finally no visit to Tokyo is complete without tasting the best sushi on the planet.
And where else to find the freshest and most sumptuous delicacies than at the world's biggest fish market at Tsukiji, alongside Tokyo Bay.
Outside the market are dozens of small restaurants all of which are serving sushi that could hardly be fresher if it swam onto your rice. Eel and sea anemone for breakfast?
Historical Kyoto
For more than 1,000 years Kyoto stood proudly as the capital of Japan, a history clearly visible in its quiet back streets, innumerable temples and wonderful food.
Certainly for most visitors to Japan it is the popular second stop after Tokyo on any sightseeing itinerary. And aboard the country's marvellous and frequent Shinkansen bullet trains the 500 km zip by in less than two and a half hours.
Here you will discover a different world from the glitz and hyper-activity of the current capital. Those seeking to explore traditional Japanese culture will find nowhere as convenient - the gardens and temples abound throughout the city and surrounding countryside. In all there are 17 world cultural heritage sites and the choice can be overwhelming. The most famous is Kinkaku-ji with its gold-leaf temple buildings dating back to the 14th century reflecting off the surrounding pond but there are so many other, quieter spots that to simply wander the city can be a joy of discovery. One of the best places to do just that is the ancient Gion district made up of wonderful old wooden buildings and being the home for the last remaining authentic geisha operations in Japan. These traditional female courtesans act as hostesses. And if you fancy a cup of tea while in Kyoto then rest assured nowhere on the planet does it quite with as much grace and sophistication as do certain tea rooms in this city. The tasting is only the final step in a process involving the cleansing of the cup, the exact angle of the bow as you receive it and the three clockwise turns that must be made before you can take the initial sip. The art of Zen - alive and thriving in Kyoto.
If you go
Air Canada flies direct from Calgary to Narita Airport three times weekly until May and then daily until late October. From Narita the best way into central Tokyo is by express train. Visitors showing their passport can buy half price tickets at the Japan Rail offices on the basement level of the airport. The trip takes about an hour.
The Tokyo metro lines at first resemble spaghetti thrown against the wall. But don't be intimidated. It is a fast, efficient and relatively cheap way to explore a city of many different districts. Buy tickets at station vending machines for single or multiple journeys. All stations are numbered and lines are colour-coded. It is probably the best subway system on the planet. Try and avoid rush hours 7:30 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m. There are hotels for all tastes and budgets, even solitary capsules if you need to feel really alone and cosy. Or love hotels that rent by the hour. But most regular hotels are clean and relatively inexpensive. Don't expect much room - in a city where space is at a premium hotels are no exception.
Taxis are plentiful in Tokyo but they are expensive, especially during rush hours when the meter keeps ticking even when stuck in traffic for half an hour. Most drivers don't speak English so have your destination written in Japanese. Don't worry about what to tip. It is not customary in Japan. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, service is generally outstanding.
The best way to see Japan is by rail - only the totally intrepid would try and negotiate around the country by rental car - and the easiest and most affordable way is to buy a Japan rail pass.

It is no secret Tottenham Hotspur rely heavily on their star left-winger, Gareth Bale.
Time and time again Bale impresses fans of the Premier League, with his lightning quick feet, powerful running, and crossing ability. He also has an eye for goal with nine goals in 19 appearances this season.
Bale, like all players, has games were he is phenomenal and others when he isn't at his best. But, when Bale doesn't play well, Tottenham seem to lack the spark that helps them win most of their games. So a question arises, can Spurs survive without Gareth Bale?
With rumours surfacing of Bale possibly moving to Spanish powerhouse Real Madrid, Tottenham fans are left wondering how the team would fair without the teams dominant presence in attack.
With Bale out of the picture Spurs are still a strong team on paper; with the likes of Clint Dempsey, Aaron Lennon, Jermaine Defoe, Kyle Walker, and Hugo Lloris in their ranks, but the Welshman is clearly the heart and soul of the team.
Although Bale is often criticised for diving, most recently against Sunderland, don't let that fool you. He is arguably the best player in the Premier League, and one of the greatest in the world.
If Bale is to leave Tottenham any time soon, it will be interesting to see how the team carries on without him, and perhaps more importantly, how they would go about replacing the Welsh wizard.

For teens and adults with diabetes: How often do you check your blood sugar before you drive?Poll dates: August 11 - 18, 2010
Total Votes: 70
In Diabetes and Driving Mishaps (Diabetes Care 26:2329-2334, 2003), researchers examined whether diabetes is associated with an increased risk of driving mishaps. The study concludes that "Type 1 diabetic drivers are at increased risk for driving mishaps, but type 2 diabetic drivers, even on insulin, appear not to be at a higher risk than nondiabetic individuals."
In Motor Vehicle Crashes in Diabetic Patients with Tight Glycemic Control: A Population-based Case Control Analysis, researchers found that people with type 1 diabetes who had an HbA1c of 6.9% or lower has an almost three-fold increased risk of a motor vehicle accident than those who had an HbA1c of 9% or greater. Given that we know the important of achieving and maintaining a low HbA1c, this study reinforces the critical importance of checking blood glucose before driving to reduce the risk of a hypoglycemia-related accident. This chart clearly illustrates the risk:
From Motor Vehicle Crashes in Diabetic Patients with Tight Glycemic Control:
A Population-based Case Control Analysis
Among the risk factors cited for the increased risk of automobile accidents among people with type 1 diabetes is "infrequent self-testing before driving." Given the potential seriousness of a mishap while driving, the importance of checking your blood sugar before getting behind the wheel cannot be overestimated. Yet the number of people who report that they always is just 33%.
Drivers with diabetes need to know that the symptoms of hypoglycemia can mimic those of drunkenness. If you drive, always keep fast acting carbohydrates with you in the car in case you feel low. And it's a very good idea to wear some sort of medical identification product that clearly states that you have diabetes. It could help save your life.

Who's that familiar truck spotted on a Los Angeles freeway? Oh! It must be Optimus Prime! This Optimus Prime spotting comes less than a week after we saw twin Barricades in Culver City, Calif., and it just continues to affirm that the sequel to the robogasm Transformers is, indeed, in the early filming stages.
I would assume that the Transformer beauties are being relocated to the film set from their respected storage areas. We'll just have to wait and see for ourselves as more pictures begin to pop up. [Superhero Hype via TFW2005]

I think this is exactly what it is, posturing. Especially since there is a pretty good framework in place at Edmonton already for a new arena. I think they just want a better deal.

A popular watchable wildlife area, Mueller is home to abundant wildlife including elk, black bear, hawks, and mule deer.
Mueller State Park has over 5,000 acres of spring-fed meadows, forested ridges and massive rocks of Pikes Peak Granite with several ponds that dot the landscape.
The park supports a variety of plant-life ranging from native grasses and wildflowers to stands of spruce, fir, pine and aspen. Along with the elk, mule deer and bears, many small mammals and birds share the park's habitat.
Visitors can enjoy year-round recreational opportunities including camping, picnicking, trail use, fishing and nature studies. Winter activities include sledding, snowshoeing and cross country skiing.
Every season is a photographers delight.
Mueller State Park welcomes leashed pets in campgrounds, picnic areas and on the paved roads, but not on the hiking trails or in the backcountry. By keeping pets off of the trails, we increase the chances of visitors seeing the various species of wildlife in the park and are better able to maintain this pristine Watchable Wildlife Area.
Come up today and enjoy Mueller State Park!
The Visitor Center, located atop Big View Overlook, features a scenic panoramic overlook hidden below the shadow of Pikes Peak. In the heart of Mueller State Park, this information area features indoor and outdoor exhibits emphasizing the park's natural habitats, wildlife and heritage. Visit the Watchable Wildlife Kiosk and learn about those who call Mueller home. At the Gazebo, hand painted panels of the surrounding mountains help you get your bearings before heading out on the Wapiti Nature Trail.
The Rock Pond trailhead that begins at Visitor Center parking lot connects to a Wapiti Nature Trail, a short family friendly hike, or travel the Rock Pond trail and visit Rock and Brook Pond. Don't forget to pick up a trail map before you head out!

Many, many years ago my husband was in the Air Force. At that time I did almost all of my shopping at the commissary. The prices were great, but at the time I wasn't the savvy couponer that I am now. Just like any other store, it is important for you to know the coupon policies at the commissary to maximize your savings. I've done some research recently to help some of the military and retiree families out there who may not be familiar with the policy.
I am definitely not an expert at shopping at the pharmacy, so I had to do my research. To understand the commissaries' coupon policies I referred to the "Performance and Policy, Customer Service Department" document published on the commissaries' website here: www.commissaries.com/inside_deca/publications/directives/DeCAD40_6_JN2007.pdf (Chapter 7, "Acceptance and Redemption of Merchandise Coupons," Pages 41-49 ) If you are eligible to shop at the military commissaries, I would recommend printing these pages and keeping them in your binder.
The commissary has awesome prices because DeCA is required by law to sell all commissary items at prices just high enough to cover the items' costs. The commissary is a great place to purchase items for a low price, especially those items that are not currently on sale at other stores.
Is the commissary always the best place for you to shop? No one store will always have the best price on everything. That is why it is so important to pay attention to the sales ads and shop around. Many stores also allow you to stack store coupons and manufacturer's coupons but the commissary does not. By stacking coupons on sale items you can drastically reduce the price of the item. So even if the beginning price of the item was more, after the coupons are applied it could be significantly less.
The commissary does not offer double or triple coupons, which often makes some items a better price at other areas stores. Publix, Harvey's, Piggly Wiggly, Kroger, Kmart, Bi-Lo, Fred's, and Harris Teeter all offer double coupons and special sales promotions to shoppers. When a store offers double coupons the store may be taking a loss on those items. (They will only be reimbursed the face value of the coupon). They can afford to do this because they are either being offered an extra incentive from the manufacturer or they are making the price difference up on other products. By watching prices and buying only items that are on sale at those stores you can really shave a good bit off of your grocery bill.
Savvy Tip: Beware of some sales at other stores; not all "sales" are really a "sale." They are meant to entice you into thinking that you are getting a good deal. Example: 12-pack of Cokes, three for $12 (limit three). $4 is a horrible price for a 12-pack of Cokes, yet it was still advertised as a "sale" in the ad. The key is to know your prices. Start a price book and list items that you regularly purchase at the commissary. You can then compare those prices to the sales ads to determine which place is the best place to purchase those items. (Keep in mind double coupons, store coupons and all other incentives when calculating the final price.)
Be sure to keep up with the sales prices at your local commissary here www.commissaries.com/log_in/html/savings_aisle.cfm. (Log-in is required)
Kraft also lists the current sales on their products at the commissary here: brands.kraftfoods.com/kraftmilitary, you can always search the coupon index at www.savvyshopperdeals.com/georgia to see if a coupon is available that matches the sale. Watch for coupons and special booklets at the commissary for additional savings.
Summary of coupon policy
The commissary will accept "Military Store Coupons" and manufacturer coupons.
The commissary does not allow you to stack a military store coupon and a manufacturer coupon. You must use one or the other.
Internet printable coupons are accepted, but printable coupons for "free" items that do not require a purchase will not be accepted. Copies of printable coupons are fraudulent and are never accepted.
The commissary will accept manufacturer coupons that have another stores logo on them. This information can be found on DeCA facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=107874215934544.
DeCA does not participate in Walgreens Register Rewards per se; however, DeCA does accept the manufacturer coupons that print out on the registers at Walgreens and other retailers, provided the verbiage does not limit redemption only to the retailer advertised on the coupon. For example, if the manufacturer coupon states "Redeemable at" or "Redeem at," we can accept it; if it states "Redeemable ONLY at" or "Redeem ONLY at," we cannot. While these coupons may reference Walgreens Register Rewards or have a Walgreens or another retailer's logo printed on them, we are accepting these as a manufacturer's coupon. All commissaries were provided clarification on these types of coupons. If you experience any issues with redeeming them at your commissary, ask to see the manager on duty while you're in the commissary or fill out a customer comment form at www.commissaries.com/YAL/customer_comments.cfm.
The commissary allows overage. If the coupon is worth more than the item costs per the policy you receive the full value of the coupon. Page 44, section N of the above document states: "Valid coupons will be entered at the value stated on the coupon. If the value of the coupon exceeds the cost of the product, the customer will be given the full value of the coupon."
The commissary does not offer double or triple coupons.
Coupons that are beyond the expiration date will not be accepted in the states.
The commissaries overseas are able to accept coupons up to six months past the expiration date.
Military discounts
Many stores in our area offer discounts to individuals in the military and their families. I called most of these locations to verify the discount and have compiled a list. Please keep in mind the following:
At times the stores will exclude certain items from the discount and that they may require a military ID to get the discount.
Some places may only give the discount to the active duty military member and do not extend the discount to their family. Please ask at each store to verify the policy at that store.
This is not a complete list, regardless of where you shop, dine or attend a recreational activity you should always ask if they offer a military discount. If you know of other places that offer a military discount you can always write to me at email@example.com and I will be happy to share it on the Savvy Shopper Facebook page and on the Savvy Shopper website.
You can find additional coupons and discounts here www.militarycoupons.com.

Mayor Don Wesely today named Joyce Quinn the Affirmative Action Director for the City of Lincoln. As the Affirmative Action Director, Quinn will be responsible for developing, implementing, directing and coordinating affirmative action and diversity programs and activities for the City of Lincoln, Lancaster County and the Lincoln Electric System.
"I am very proud of the fact that we took the time and found a very qualified, passionate candidate to be the city's first full-time Affirmative Action Director," said Wesely. "The recent census results reveal Lincoln is more diverse, and we need to reflect that diversity in local government. Quinn has an excellent background in law and human rights issues. I look forward to her efforts to bring more diversity into our city and county workforce."
A screening committee completed two screening processes over a seven-month period, reviewing more than 55 applications. The Mayor interviewed the three finalists recommended to him by the citizen panel. Quinn will begin work Monday, May 14. Her starting annual salary will be $45,000.
Quinn has a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and a law degree from the University of Washington School of Law in Seattle. From December 1998 through September 2000 she was an Equal Opportunity Compliance Investigator for the Washington State Human Rights Commission. In that position she investigated complaints of discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodation. She has also worked as a contract attorney for a private practice; as a judicial extern for U.S. District Court Judge William L. Dwyer in the Western District of Washington; and as a research and writing assistant for the Mediation Clinic at the University of Washington School of Law.
"As Affirmative Action Director, my goal will be to identify barriers to equal opportunity and to promote inclusion in the city-county workforce," said Quinn. "We must make sure that employment selections result from the consideration of a diverse pool of qualified candidates. Where opportunities arise, each eligible person regardless of race, ethnicity, disability, gender or other protected status should have equal notice and consideration."
Quinn's duties will include monitoring the Americans with Disabilities Act; recruiting ethnic, racial and under-represented individuals for the applicant pool and to serve on city and county boards and committees; developing policies that encourage retention of protected group members; and developing, implementing and coordinating diversity training. She will also be a member of the Mayor's Cabinet.
Under the previous administration, a mayoral assistant was assigned affirmative action as one of his duties. Wesely initially designated the Personnel Director as the Affirmative Action Officer when he took office in 1999. He made it a full-time position in the 2000-2001 city budget, which the City Council approved last year.
Media Release

Anthony Bourdain has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind, and he's not changing a thing as he makes the transition from Travel Channel, his home for the last seven years. That includes tearing into his former bosses when he feels they deserve it.
As Bourdain rings down the curtain on the final season of his long-running show, "No Reservations," he ripped the channel's executives in a particularly hostile post on his personal Tumblr page.
The source of his anger is a decision to insert post-production product placement of a Cadillac into one of the final episodes of "No Reservations" without consulting the writer and chef first, making it appear that Bourdain was endorsing the car by riding around in one.
"After the first airing of the commercial, I let the network know of my extreme displeasure," Bourdain wrote. "Fair warning one would think. They ran it again anyway."
