Sleep in peace, Liz. Thanks for the great movies and the excellent HIV/AIDS work. So glad the disgusting Phelps brigade didn't show.
I hadn't realised that she was Jewish.
According to Wikepedia she converted from Christian Science to Judaism aged 27.
Wikepedia also reveals that she worked for Israel and Zionism-related causes for much of her life. Her public support for the State of Israel began in 1959 when, as a new convert to Judaism, she purchased Israel Bonds in such large quantities that boycotts of her films occurred in Arab countries; she later helped to raise money for organizations such as the Jewish National Fund.

I feel like Gene Wilder is my Marlon Brando or something. He just presents you with an array of emotions and leaves it up to you to decide. You know, when he played Willy Wonka [in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, 1971], there was always something slightly terrifying and angry and sadistic about that character, all of which you would imagine might take away from the magic of it. But there was something about how he played it that let you see how this guy living alone in this place, as Wonka was, could have been affected by all of that, how it would have affected his emotional state. —Ryan Gosling

Last week, Museum Studies Professor Laura Shiavo treated me and a group of Museum Studies alumni to a guided tour through the National Building Museum's new exhibit Designing Tomorrow: America's World's Fairs of the 1930s.
Schiavo, the curator of the exhibit, provided us a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the exhibit's creation. She and her colleagues did archival research on the fairs' host cities—Chicago, IL (1933–34); San Diego, CA (1935-36); Dallas, TX (1936); Cleveland, OH (1936-37); San Francisco, CA (1939-40); and New York, NY (1939-40)—and even searched on eBay to find some of the original programs and brochures from the world's fairs.
The result is a stunning display full of photos and artifacts depicting how the World's Fairs popularized modern design and promoted science and consumerism in America as a relief from the Great Depression. It features seven thematic galleries: Welcome to the Fairs, A Fair-going Nation, Building a Better Tomorrow, Better Ways to Move, Better Ways to Live, Better Times, and Legacies.
If you're in the D.C. area, I encourage you to take in this captivating exhibit, which will be on display through July 2011.

Obama has a total of 2,069 delegates, leaving him 49 shy of the number needed to clinch the nomination, with two primaries remaining. Clinton has 1911.5, according to the latest tally by the AP.
Obama also picked up two superdelegates Sunday, which means he has made up most of the ground he lost Saturday when the national party's rules committee voted to reinstate delegates from Michigan and Florida. The delegates had been stripped because the two states violated party rules by holding primaries before Feb. 5.
Before Saturday's decision, Obama was 42 delegates shy of the nomination. Seating delegates from Florida and Michigan increased the number of delegates needed to secure the nomination to 2,118.
There are a total of 31 delegates at stake in Tuesday's contests in Montana and South Dakota. If Clinton and Obama split them, Obama would need to pick up 30 or so superdelegates to secure the nomination.
There are about 200 superdelegates left to be claimed.
Superdelegates are the party and elected officials who automatically attend the party's national convention and can support whomever they choose, regardless of what happens in the primaries.
Both political parties include Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories in their nominating processes. However, residents are not allowed to vote in the general election.
The AP tracks the delegate races by calculating the number of national convention delegates won by candidates in each presidential primary or caucus, based on state and national party rules, and by interviewing unpledged delegates to obtain their preferences.
Most primaries and some caucuses are binding, meaning delegates won by the candidates are pledged to support that candidate at the national conventions this summer.
Political parties in some states, however, use multistep procedures to award national delegates. Typically, such states use local caucuses to elect delegates to state or congressional district conventions, where national delegates are selected. In these states, the AP uses the results from local caucuses to calculate the number of national delegates each candidate will win, if the candidate's level of support at the caucus doesn't change.

Sunshine Cleaning
- Director: Christine Jeffs
- Cert: 15A
- Details: US/102mins
- Release Date: 26/06/2009
Story sees Amy Adams play Rose, a single mother who never really fulfilled some early potential. Once hugely popular, she was the captain of the cheerleading squad and dating the quarterback; Rose is now a minimum wage maid, cleaning well-off former school friend's pricey pads. Still sleeping with her former High School sweetheart, who's now a married cop; he tips her off about recent murder scenes, and how she could make serious dough cleaning them up. After roping in her cynical sister, the two find a stirring independence in being their own bosses, but must tackle some life and business issues before they can really call their daring endeavour a success.
With a tone very much reminiscent of the recent Little Miss Sunshine, 'Cleaning' is far less delightful altogether. Apart from the aforementioned problems with the script, nothing really happens for the entire middle of the film, and it doesn't pick up at all for the final third. It's still amusing in parts, though, thanks to Arkin, Blunt and Adams; but it's often far too frustrating to really enjoy. There are a lot of fractured relationships here, and many of them scoot by without a mention. Who is Adams' kid's father? What kind of relationship did their mother have with their father that would cause her to such drastic action? Why would you leave your kid with a creepy, one-armed guy with a pony tail you barely know?
There are seemingly the ingredients here for a really enjoyable indie feature, it's just that there is no character cohesion whatsoever; and in a film of this sort, that is as imperative as loading the camera with film. Worth watching for the three leads, this is ultimately a trying experience, that you'd be best off waiting for on DVD.

Radiation Oncology
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center Radiation Treatment Center at Presbyterian Kaseman Hospital
Radiation, also known as radiotherapy, uses large doses of high-energy beams or particles to destroy cancer cells in a specifically targeted area. Radiation damages the internal chemical structure of cancer cells, which keeps them from multiplying. Radiotherapy is most commonly used on localized solid tumors, and on cancers that affect the bloodstream, such as leukemia and lymphoma.
More than half of cancer patients will undergo radiation therapy. For some types of cancer, patients will only under radiation treatment. Radiation is often used in combination with other treatments. When used before or during other procedures, radiation shrinks the tumor to make surgery or chemotherapy more effective. Used afterward, it destroys any cancer cells that might remain.
There are two basic types of radiotherapy:
External Beam Radiation uses specialized machines to administer a high dose of radiation directly to the cancer site and to a small amount of healthy tissue at the margins of the tumor. Different machines are used for tumors of various types or in different locations in the body.
Internal Radiation, also known as brachytherapy, involves radioactive material that is implanted in the body at the cancer site. Radiation implants are small tubes, seeds or capsules filled with different types of radioactive material and sealed. Sometimes, implants are used at a tumor site after its removal, to kill any lingering cancer cells.
Side effects are usually limited to the radiation site, although many patients will experience overall fatigue. Normal cells that may be affected by radiotherapy will usually repair themselves. Patients receiving radiotherapy in the abdomen may have nausea, while radiation to the pelvis may trigger diarrhea. Skin in the target area may become irritated, change color or become overly sensitive. These effects usually fade after several weeks. Hair loss at the radiation site can sometimes be permanent. Always make your cancer specialist aware of any side effects, no matter how minor they seem.

One in a series of "President's Perspectives" in which Dr. Richard J. Mouw discusses Fuller's core values.For several years a group of us met—twice a year, usually, for several days at a time—to discuss what it means to give intellectual leadership to the Christian community. I convened the gatherings, with a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment. Several of us were presidents of academic institutions, others came from the world of Christian journalism and publishing. Our group included both Protestants and Catholics.
We started by reading Max De Pree's Leadership Is an Art, and, for our first session, met with Max himself. Then, over the next few years, we talked about how we could apply his lessons on leadership in our own attempts to provide intellectual leadership to our various constituencies.
When it was all over, a good friend who has a senior position in a major Christian publishing company made an observation. He had been in his job for over three decades, he said, but he had never thought of himself as a leader. "A publisher, yes," he said. "And I have always thought of that as making an important contribution to the Christian community. But I have not seen it as leadership. This gives me a new perspective on my work!"
I have thought a lot about that comment. And it rings true for me. Thinking about leadership does add a new dimension to various areas of Christian service.
When I became a senior administrator at Fuller, after two decades as a professor devoted primarily to teaching and scholarship, people often talked about my now "becoming a leader," as if I had not been giving leadership in my faculty role. At the time, I did not question this way of viewing what was happening to me. But I now have the kind of perspective that my publisher friend described. Those two decades that I spent primarily teaching classes, and writing articles and books—in all of that I was also exercising leadership.
And to see those activities as exercising leadership is not simply to adopt a new label for such things as teaching classes and publishing books. To think about leadership is to focus in a certain way on these activities. For a Christian, it is never enough simply to do such things just because they are fulfilling or intrinsically interesting. We must also think about what they mean for the Kingdom.
Of course, not everything we do has to have some direct link to service in the Kingdom. Playing a round of golf, taking your kids to the playground, watching a situation comedy on TV—some of these things we do simply because they are a part of the rhythms of a healthy Christian life. Not that they are religiously "neutral" activities: "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17). But some things that we do in Jesus's name are necessary for refreshing ourselves as we back off a bit from the active "doing" of Kingdom service. To recognize the need for play and rest is itself important for being effective leaders.
But there is a clear link between Kingdom service and leadership. Our leadership is a dimension of our service. It's not that we teach, or administer, or serve as elders and deacons, or manage a household—and then we also lead. Activities of this sort are the ways God's people exercise leadership for the cause of Christ's Kingdom.
The Bible is a book about leadership. In fact, it both begins and ends with human beings exercising leadership in God's creation. In the very first speech that God delivers to human beings, in the first chapter of the Bible, he gives the man and the woman the assignment that they must "have dominion" in the Garden (Genesis 1:28). We were created as human beings to exercise leadership in God's good creation. And in the final chapter of the Bible, at the end of John's description of the Holy City, he says that the redeemed people of God will "reign for ever and ever" in the New Creation (Revelation 22:5). God intends, in both creating us and redeeming us, that we should actively lead, by managing the affairs of the creation.
Those are the leadership "bookends" in the Bible—in the beginning we were created for "dominion," and at the end we are redeemed for "reigning." In between those bookends, of course, everything gets messed up. Human beings who were created to be co-leaders under the rule of God—"covenant partners" is the term I like—become rebels against God. In our sinfulness we distort the leadership to which God calls us. And time after time in the pages of Scripture we see what a mess we get ourselves into when we fail to engage in the kind of leadership that God intends for us.
A seminary is an important school for leadership. At Fuller we study in great detail the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, so that we can provide the Christian community, and the larger world, the resources for the kind of leadership that is much needed today.
Our Fuller mission statement says that we "equip men and women for the manifold ministries of Christ and his Church," and that "manifold" image applies nicely to our education for leadership. Fuller has never been a "one fold" seminary. Charles E. Fuller, Harold Ockenga, and others who were involved in the founding of the school cared deeply about pastoral leadership, but they also envisioned a school that would equip evangelists, youth workers, church planters, Bible translators, and teacher-scholars. And that vision has expanded over the years, so that we now range broadly, as a three-school seminary, focusing on theology, psychology, and intercultural studies, as well as sponsoring several centers that zero in on specific areas of leadership.
When we take seriously the idea of leadership in theological education, our vision necessarily expands. It is not enough simply to preach or to counsel or to evangelize. We must also develop skills like dealing effectively with conflict, working with an awareness of cultural context, nurturing healthy staff relations, and knowing the basics of budget management.
Underlying all of that, however, is a concern for the character of the leader. And at the heart of that concern is the realization that nurturing a proper relationship to God is of utmost importance. At the heart of our sinful rebellion is a refusal to acknowledge the need to submit to the will of our Creator. The Serpent's challenge to our first parents in Genesis 3 focused directly on the leadership question. Eat of the forbidden fruit, he said, and "you will be like God" (Genesis 3:5).
Sinful leadership attempts to manage the affairs of life while ignoring the guidance of a loving Creator. We want to run the show on our own, making up our own rules. As believers we know that this can only lead to horrible consequences for the human community.
A seminary is literally a "seed bed." At Fuller we are planting the seeds of Christian leadership. We have already seen those seeds take root and grow in marvelous ways in the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. Our graduates are exercising leadership all over the world. An exciting endeavor!

St Vincent de Paul Society social policy national director John Falzon said the need for charity would continue to balloon as the federal government pushes ahead with its workplace and welfare reforms.
"We at Vinnies have experienced an increased demand not only for presents and food for the Christmas season but even with the day-to-day expenses such as prescriptions, doctors' visits, school excursions and electricity bills," Dr Falzon said.
"At a time when the government's welfare and IR reforms promise to reduce income support and to strip wage protection at the lower end of the labour market, we are deeply concerned that those who are already battling and are being completely abandoned.
"We are concerned about the growth of the working poor - it's very much an American phenomenon and we in Australia are enthusiastically embracing this trend."
The Salvation Army said it had experienced a 14 per cent surge for appeals for help this Christmas compared with last year and was seeing more people distressed and fearful of the future.

A severly abused 4-year-old girl has died and police believe her mother is to blame.
The mother, 22-year-old Ashley Buckman, is the primary suspect and the boyfriend, 22-year-old James Edwards, did not report the abuse of a 4-year-old girl.
Phoenix Police Sgt. Tommy Thompson said they received a call around 8 p.m. Wednesday night about injured child near 19th Avenue and Northern.
When fire department crews arrived at the scene, the girl was not breathing and determined that she was a victim of abuse and the police were called.
Buckman is in the process of being booked into the 4th Avenue Jail and will be charged with child abuse and failure to protect a child. Edwards was also booked into the jail and faces the same charges.
Thompson says on May 29, the girl soiled her bed and Buckman beat her. On May 30, Buckman struck the child with her bare hand around 8 p.m. and that's when the child stopped breathing.
After investigators spoke with Buckman, they found that the child was beaten numerous times in the past and there were injuries from her head to her foot, which included cuts, abrasions and bruises. There were also indications of whip marks, possibly caused by a hanger or other devices. Thompson adds that the child also had scald marks on the lower part of her body.
Detectives told Thompson that this is one of the most egregious cases.
Buckman and Edwards are the parents of another child in the home and Thompson said there were no incidents of the 1-year-old child being abused. Child Protective Services now has custody. No other details were provided about the 1-year-old.
Thompson says there were no reports of open cases involving the victim or her parents.
After looking through records, police believe Buckman had been repeatedly abused as a child. "..and appears that it was passed from generation to generation," said Thompson.
When asked if there was a long delay from when the child stopped breathing to when a call was placed to 911, Thompson said he did not know time frame. When officers first became involved, they were told by the parents that the child came back with bruises and was with a family member, but that was not the case.
"They initially lied to police," said Thompson. "And then even as we found out what had happened, they began to minimize the effects. We believe the scalding involved the boyfriend and he tried to minimize it to say that perhaps the water was just too hot or there were some issues, but because of the nature of the marks, it appears that the child was intentionally scalded with hot water."

As long as he can remember David has had a love for nature. Coupled with living by the sea, this led him to a degree in Marine Biology at Bangor University. As enjoyable as this degree was, he quickly realised that was not where his future lay.
He bought a camera, spent as much time as possible learning about photography and taking pictures, and when his degree finished in 2001 found a post-graduate MSc in Biological Photography and Imaging. One intensive year of photography and science later, he jumped into the photographic industry.
He became picture editor at one of the most widely respected wildlife picture libraries in the world, representing some of the top wildlife photographers currently working around the world, and owned (at that time) by world renowned wildlife photographer Stephen Dalton.
A year or so later and it was time to move again. A natural flair for the more technical aspects of photography and a love of the Canon EOS system saw him up sticks and move to Oxfordshire to take up a post as the Technical Editor of EOS Magazine, a subscription only publication with an international circulation of a little over 20,000.
That was in 2004 and while he has moved on as technical editor, he still continues to write about photography in a freelance capacity. He has expanded his teaching and can be found regularly giving advice on the finer aspects of photography to both amateurs and professionals he comes in contact with. He keeps this training side separate from this site, which is here only to serve as a gallery of David's photography. For more information on training, visit www.eos-newtork.com his specialised site for photographic training that he runs with Brian Worley of www.p4pictures.com .
Although wildlife, landscapes and travel photography were his first love and still what he prefers to do, these days he can be found photographing almost anything, from product shots and commercial work to abstract close-ups, portraiture and event photography. The only area he steadfastly refuses to get involved in is wedding photography…!
Recognised for his technical knowledge and approach to photography, David is often sought out by major photographic companies including Canon and SanDisk to provide a variety of services including training seminars, live presentation, technical expertise and photographic/video services.
David's photography and writing has been widely published. Among others, he has written for:
EOS Magazine
Canon Professional Network
PhotoPlus – Canon Edition
Photography Monthly
The Photographer
He has also written technical and marketing material for both Canon and SanDisk.
His photography has been published in all the above magazines as well as specialist publications such as Country Life and BBC Wildlife and the national press including The Times, The Telegraph, The Daily Mail, The Express and The Sun. He has also done his time as an event photographer, photographing some of the more eclectic and eccentric shows in the UK.

Posted: Nov 29, 2012 12:29 AM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Dianne Feinstein says a new government report shows the controversial detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, could be closed and the detainees moved to the United States without harming national security.
Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, released a Government Accountability Office study Wednesday that says U.S. prisons could safely absorb all 166 detainees now held at Guantanamo. Many of the detainees are accused of plotting terrorist acts against the United States.
The California Democrat says the study shows that U.S. prisons already hold 373 prisoners convicted of terrorism in 98 facilities across the country, with no known security problems reported.
The report does say that existing facilities would need to be modified and current inmates may need to be relocated to make room for the Guantanamo detainees.

Just a BIP on the Radar
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP (NYSE: BIP) is a name that shows up on a lot of radar screens. With a robust 4.4% current yield and a history of dividend increases, why not? Over the last year, shares have also marched steadily upward from the mid-20s to the low-30s.
Dividend growth is the name of the game for Brookfield, and a lot of investors like what they see. Despite the performance, a lot of people are unfamiliar with this MLP. Since the partnership is young, BIP's not yet a mainstream name. I recently dug through their filings to try to figure out what makes this hard-charging four-year-old MLP work and determine what the future might hold for unit holders. Can BIP continue to deliver future growth after the run the partnership's been on?
BIP is an infrastructure MLP that stands out due to its astronomical growth. They're managed by Canadian-based general partner Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM). BAM was founded in 1890 as Brascan, a real estate investment company focused on the development of electrical and tram services in Brazil. BAM now operates worldwide managing roughly $150 billion in "real assets" grouped in the property, infrastructure and power generation sectors.
To better align their businesses and enhance growth potential, BAM began a series of spin-outs of operating assets into limited partnerships. In each case, BAM retains partial equity and manages the assets as general partner. BIP was the first out the door. BAM reorganized a portion of its infrastructure assets into a newly created Bermuda-based partnership and distributed 60% of its interest in BIP to shareholders in 2008.
In 2011, BAM followed the same formula with some renewable energy assets, spinning out Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners. The final piece of the puzzle is set to fall into place soon. Ten percent of the equity in Brookfield Property Partners will be distributed to BAM shareholders in the second half of this year. The new LP will consolidate all of BAM's real property assets, including its current stake in both Brookfield Office Properties (NYSE: BPO) and General Growth Properties (NYSE: GGP).
For Brookfield, separating the pieces of the business has its advantages. Each can grow at its own pace. It also provides additional flexibility to raise capital when needed. Brookfield has taken full advantage of the opportunity for secondary offerings of BIP units to raise capital at critical junctures. Initially, BAM rolled only its electrical transmission business and part of its timber assets into the partnership.
BIP's managed assets have quintupled in four short years and the partnership has a much more diversified portfolio, both geographically and operationally. Total assets rose from $1.8 billion in 2008 at inception to $9.3 billion in 2011. In three years of operation from (2009 to 2011), net income rose from $53 million to $187 million. Funds from operation ("FFO," a cash flow metric) rose from $117 million to $392 million in the same timeframe. That extremely rapid growth has been driven in large part by acquisitions financed by secondary offerings.
The biggest move by far was the acquisition of Prime Infrastructure when it struggled with a heavy debt load in the depths of the recession. BIP pounced on the opportunity in 2009, acquiring a 40% interest with proceeds from a secondary offering. When that lifeline proved insufficient for Prime, they completed the merger later in 2010 by issuing additional BIP units to Prime shareholders. The Prime acquisition provided many of BIP's most attractive assets (Prime assets are highlighted in blue in Table 1). More recently, Brookfield used an additional secondary offering of BIP units in 2011 to fund a large expansion of their Australian railway. The new rail expansion will likely be the major growth driver for BIP in the next few years.
In Q4 of 2011 BIP listed $9.3 billion in operating assets organized into three operational platforms (a full outline appears in Table 1):
Utilities Platform
The Utilities tag is a bit misleading. It's a holdover from BIP's early days when electrical transmission assets dominated the platform. The common thread here is a regulated rate structure. The most interesting piece is one of the largest coal export terminals in the world, located in Queensland, Australia. This terminal has a virtual monopoly on export of coal mined in the Bowen Basin, one of the lowest cost sources of metallurgical coal in the world.
Transport and Energy Platform
The transport segment is highlighted by BIP's Aussie rail system. Their below rail operations are the sole freight provider for southwestern Western Australia, with access to five ports. It's currently undergoing extensive expansions that will boost capacity 50%, providing service to several new mines in Western Australia. This project will add revenue in phases between now and 2014. BIP also operates a large collection of ports, located primarily in Europe.
Timber Platform
The timber assets are an interesting wild card. BIP holds timberlands located in western North America. Their proximity to the coast makes these timberlands more profitable, allowing lower cost export to Asia. Log prices are still weak though, and volumes remain low. Long term, a turn here could be a major source of improved revenue for the Partnership. This is a waiting game like most housing-oriented plays. But at least it's not bleeding red ink like it was in 2009, because the pricing of some select woods is beginning to strengthen.
Table 1. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners Operating Assets. Assets as of Dec. 31, 2011 are shown. BIP operates in three platforms: Utilities, Transport and Energy, and Timber. Assets have grown substantially from inception in large part due to acquisitions. The biggest driver of growth was the acquisition of Prime Infrastructure, an Australian/UK Infrastructure Trust. That acquisition brought considerable opportunities for organic growth, particularly in rail operations. The Utility segment also has substantial capital commitments that should enhance revenue in the future. Original assets contributed to the partnership by Brookfield are highlighted in light red. Assets added in the Prime Infrastructure acquisition appear in blue. Additional assets added post-inception are highlighted in light green. A detailed list of BIP's assets can be found at: http://www.brookfieldinfrastructure.com/content/about_us/our_operations-3330.html
Can BIP deliver organic growth?
BIP certainly has a solid current yield. But higher yields can be found in the MLP universe. BIP's results have also benefited from a good market for troubled assets, and the fact that the Partnership isn't shy about diluting current unit holders needs to be considered when purchasing. The dilution has been significant. Total distributions by the Partnership rose 269% from 2009 to 2011. But dividends per share rose only 24% over the same timeframe due to the number of new units issued (see Figure 2). Can BIP have similar growth going forward? Can they now grow internally? I think so. While more Prime-sized acquisitions at bargain prices seem unlikely, there are now some organic opportunities for growth.
When looking at BIP's cash flow, the Timber platform is almost a non-factor, contributing only 7% of BIP's FFO. Any turn here will add to cash flow. Utilities led all segments in 2011 with 58% of 2011's FFO. These are regulated revenues that are stable, but there is some room for expansion. Scheduled CapEx will expand BIP's rate base, boosting income from their transmission assets in Chile. In addition, a new Texas wind-farm transmission line project will come online in 2013. Unit holders can expect cash flow improvement from this platform as a result of these investments. The remaining Transport and Energy platform (35% of 2011's FFO) is another segment that will see substantial growth. Planned expansions of their Australian railway are expected to boost rail EBITDA in phases through 2014, eventually reaching $150 million annually. Since the contracts are take-or-pay, this estimate is actually a minimum that reflects fees for service independent of actual volume. Under certain circumstances, revenue increases could actually be higher.
With a solid pipeline of projects, organic growth over the next few years seems likely. Utility projects planned total $352 million. Projecting FFO increases based on their current return on assets estimates an increase of $28 million annually from these projects. Similarly estimated, the $150 million in annual EBITDA from the Aussie rail expansion should net roughly $75 million in annual FFO. That $100 million in incremental FFO expected between now and 2014 is about a quarter of 2011's FFO. With a current yield of 4.4% and the potential for greater than 25% cash flow growth over the next few years, BIP looks like an interesting prospect for growth-oriented income investors.

My current favorite song is Neutron Star Collision by Muse. I've been a long time lover of Muse, and this particular song is just so epic when it comes to blaring your car radio.
It's not because of Twilight. When it comes down to it though, I will NEVER stop loving Copacabana by Barry Manilow. That song hasn't bored me since I was three, and it's not going to bore me when I'm almost nineteen. In fact, just any Barry Manilow song will never get tiring to me. |

[The rate that student debtors will have to pay on their loans] is nine times higher than the rate at which the government loans money to the big banks. … Why should the big banks get a nearly-free ride while people trying to get an education pay nine times more? It isn't right. — Sen. Elizabeth Warren (via bostonreview)
The riots also offered a glimpse into how photographs can be used out of context:
'Sir: In last week's article about the poll-tax riot in Trafalgar Square ('THE MOB'S BRIEF RULE', 7 April) there is a large photograph labelled 'A West End shopper argues with a protester'. The woman in the photograph is me, and I thought you might like to know the true story behind the picture.
I was on my way to the theatre, with my husband. As we walked down Regent Street at about 6.30pm, the windows were intact and there was a large, cheerful, noisy group of poll-tax protesters walking up from Piccadilly Circus. We saw ordinary uniformed police walking alongside, on the pavement, keeping a low profile. The atmosphere was changed dramatically in moments when a fast-walking, threatening group of riot-squad police appeared.
We walked on to the top of Haymarket, where the atmosphere was more tense and more protesters were streaming up Haymarket from the Trafalgar Square end. Suddenly a group of mounted police charged at full gallop into the rear of the group of protesters, scattering them, passers-by and us and creating panic. People screamed and some fell. Next to me and my husband another group of riot-squad appeared, in a most intimidating manner.
The next thing that happened is what horrified me most. Four of the riot-squad police grabbed a young girl of 18 or 19 for no reason and forced her in a brutal manner on to the crowd-control railings, with her throat across the top of the railings. Her young male companion was frantically trying to reach her and was being held back by one riot-squad policeman. In your photograph I was urging the boy to calm down or he might be arrested; he was telling me that the person being held down across the railings was his girlfriend.
My husband remonstrated with the riot-squad policeman holding the boy, and I shouted at the four riot-squad men to let the girl go as they were obviously hurting her. To my surprise, they did let her go – it was almost as if they did not know what they were doing.
The riot-squad policemen involved in this incident were not wearing any form of identification. Their epaulettes were unbuttoned and flapping loose; I lifted them on two men and neither had any numbers on. There was a sergeant with them, who was numbered and my husband asked why his men wore no identifying numbers. The sergeant replied that it did not matter as he knew who the men were. We are a middle-aged suburban couple who now feel more intimidated by the Metropolitan police than by a mob. If we feel so angry, how on earth did the young hot-heads at the rally feel?'

Major retailers refuse to sign Bangladesh agreement
Some of Australia's biggest retailers have refused to sign an international agreement to improve fire safety and working conditions in Bangladesh after the country's worst industrial accident.
Woolworths, Kmart and Target - that all have factories operating out of Bangladesh - have declined to sign the legally binding agreement, which aims to compel retailers operating in Bangladesh to improve conditions and pay for factory repairs and fire safety.

There is a neighbor down the hall that I try to avoid constantly. He always asks for favors as I cross paths with him. "Help me move this table. Can I use your laptop?"
I ignore him when he knocks on my door.
But that's not what I want to do. I want to be able to freely walk to and from my car to my apartment complex without having to worry about being pestered. And open my door without having to worry it's him there.
Maybe I need to build the courage to establish boundaries? Be rude once and deal with the unpleasantness afterwards.

A preview of area high school softball teams:
Head coach: Chris LeMondsLast season: 5-17
Top returnees: Emily Woolum, Sr., 3B; Molly Selby, Sr. IF; Hayley Hellyer, Jr., SS; Kendra Ross, So., 3B.
Key statistics: Woolum earn All-Area honors after hitting .290, while Hellyer, an All-Area shortstop, hit .315 and Ross hit .310 with a home run and six triples for the Rebels.
Coach's comment: "The strengths of our team this year looks to be our infield. I feel that whoever comes out of this district has a great shot at winning the region this year. Garrard was great last year and Danville still has Chelsea Wallace on the mound. I just hope that we can kind of stay under the radar and maybe surprise a few teams come the end of May."

Access Board,
I would like to submit comments related to the new outdoor guidelines. I recognize the difficult balance that you are trying to achieve in maintaining the natural setting and achieving some standardized accessibility guidelines. It is a huge challenge and I appreciate your efforts. Having worked in the field of adapted Outdoor Recreation for over 20 years I do believe there is a balance. At Northeast Passage participated in well over 100 hikes and have hiked over 20 mountains with mixed ability teams. The highest New England Mountain is over 5200 ft and have hiked as far away as Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia. It is from this perspective that I offer my comments.
The Access board has done a great job "branding" the white wheelchair and stick figure as the sign for accessibility. With this figure, comes a certain set of expectations. I have serious concerns about using this figure in anyway related to the outdoor environment unless it is in a developed area where the ADAAG guidelines apply. Showing this figure, even with a different color or background, is not a good idea. I believe that people will interpret this as a "clever" modification not understanding that it should change their expectations for what they may encounter on the trail. The blue and white figure signifies a strict set of expectations. Even with a new set of outdoor guidelines there are so many variations that a single symbol can not prepare the user for lies ahead.
Outdoor access should be expressed through concise information that allows a user to make a decision about whether or not they choose to take a particular trail or enter a certain area.
Continuing on the theme of information for the user. Your average user is not going to have a clear understanding of technical definitions such as "degrees of firmness". What is the difference of a surface one to three degrees different in firmness? I recommend using the definitions from the ITDS. First people in the industry have started to gain familiarity with these terms and users will more easily grasp these concepts.
I think all sites should have accessible elements. It offers more choice to users with disabilities, it does not negatively impact non-disabled users and it assures that these facilities are available. Especially in areas where sites are selected by users and not assigned you run the risk of non-disabled users taking up all the accessible elements when only a percentage are accessible.
This is very important. Yes Absolutely elements constructed on non accessible trails should be accessible. In the over 100 hikes that we have been part of at Northeast Passage, some of the trails have been selected precisely because they are not accessible. The team chose the hike to be an adventure. In many cases the hike has included an overnight at a hut — either Appalachian Mountain Club or Forest Service. The hikes have been team efforts but once arriving at the hut it is critically important that the hut be accessible. Constructed elements are in place as comfort, support or to preserve resources. These reasons for constructing these elements are not exclusive to non-disabled hikers. Hikers with disabilities should experience the wilderness as it is with all of its natural challenges and manmade supports.
Nature does not always comply with with mans intentions. As long as the information is available for users to make informed decisions, exceptions should be permitted to preserve the natural setting. This is especially true for facilities that have been in place for a long time.
Thanks for your consideration of my comments.

Send this story Print this story Adjust text size School aims to reduce traffic by 35 percent
by Renee Batti
Atherton City Planner Neal Martin said reducing traffic on and around Valparaiso Avenue was a condition of the school's use permit amendment to allow an enrollment increase of about 50 students. With Menlo School and nearby Sacred Heart Schools fronting Valparaiso, traffic in that area is typically a headache just before and after school.
Menlo School spokeswoman Jill Kasser said the school is still in the process of collecting data to assess the program's success so far, but some preliminary figures are promising.
To encourage participation, the program includes incentives giving those who carpool, bike, walk, or use public transportation "points that translate into dollar donations to help local community service and environmental organizations," Ms. Kasser said. The students choose the organizations.
The tally as of early February indicates significant participation: According to Ms. Kasser, the middle school earned $8,688, which it donated to the Peninsula Humane Society's Wildlife Care Center; and the upper school raised $7,307 to give to Hidden Villa to fund science field trips for kids at Taft Elementary School in Redwood City.
The school partnered with a Web-based transportation scheduling tool, Zimride, for the program, Ms. Kasser said. "With Menlo School's private Zimride community, Menlo families can find carpooling partners, sign up for bus rides, and earn incentive points by tracking their efforts on the Commute Calendar," she explained in an email.
Although Zimride is used by Stanford and a number of local companies, Menlo School is its first independent school partner, according to Ms. Kasser.
Head of School Norm Colb said in an email: "We are pleased with the progress of the Go Menlo program to date. There's more to come, and we are optimistic." Mr. Colb said the program is deepening students' awareness of the role they play in preserving the environment.
Mr. Martin, the town planner, said Atherton officials will be paying close attention to the program's effectiveness. If traffic is substantially reduced, it might provide incentive for other area schools to adopt programs of their own, he said.

The 10 Most Important Internal SEO Elements
April 11th, 2012 by Guest Blogger in Guest Posts, Search Engines & Directories, The World According to Xavier. Topics: keywords, permalink, SEO, SEO points, SERPs, sniper method, WikipediaIf you've been dabbling with SEO, then you know there are two main aspects of website optimization: internal and external. From those, external optimization (i.e. link building) is virtually endless – meaning you can arrange virtually unlimited links, whereas you can only do internal optimization up to a certain point. Does that make sense?
Even so, it doesn't mean you should neglect internal optimization. In fact, it means you should be especially attentive to it, since it's something that can be done and gotten over with. Put extra effort into the implementing the following internal SEO elements while conceiving your website, and you'll be ahead of the competition even as you start developing your link building strategy.
Domain name
By far and wide, the simplest way to get most SEO points with least effort is by choosing a keyword rich domain. Whenever possible, try to include your main keyword in your domain name. In highly specific niches with moderate competition, this will sometimes be enough to ensure a good ranking.
Some people even take this approach to the extreme with the so-called "sniper method" (look it up); this is not nearly as effective as it used to… but still, having relevant keywords in the domain name can bear a very positive impact in your subsequent efforts.
Page Titles
Next to your domain name, the titles you use for your pages carry the most optimization potential. Mindfully craft your titles to look attractive to readers while including the most relevant keyword towards the beginning. Sometimes it takes a little creativity to come up with a title that sounds right and includes the right keywords, but it's certainly worth the time and effort!
Permalink structure
You should structure the permalink structure in your website or blog to look like a condensed version of the title. Unlike titles, the permalinks don't call for flawless grammar, so strip out stop-words such as "and", "or", "the" to make your URI shorter. Make sure to keep all the good keywords and even combine new relevant variations into the mix, provided the result does not sound too redundant.
Content Headings
If you're not breaking up your content with headlines, you really need to start doing so. Because not only do they make your articles more scannable and attractive to the human eyes, headlines also help the search engines figure out what your website is about. Needless to say, try to make your headlines keyword-rich, while still making them attractive (just like the titles).
Content Highlights
It's always a good idea re-reading your content after you publish it, to do a final round of proof-reading and adding strategic highlights: use bolds and italics to emphasize short passages that summarize important points (and possibly include relevant keywords). Underlining text is not such a good idea, since it can be mistaken for links, detracting from your visual consistency.
Pictures and Rich Media
Anytime you include a picture, video or rich media (such as Flash content) in your website, you absolutely should fill up the alt tags. Because search engine bots can only recognize text, which means… if you don't describe what those pictures and videos are about, they will do nothing to further your website's internal SEO.
Since filling up "alt" tags is something many webmasters are too lazy to do, it's more power to you: quite often your images will rank naturally and bring some extra organic traffic, just from you adding a relevant and keyword rich alt tag. Captions are also great to take you optimization efforts a step further, not to mention that people love reading those!
Internal links
The hyperlink is a cornerstone of the Internet, and for good reason. You need to get in the habit of linking your pages internally, in a way that's useful to the reader. When done right, this can significantly improve your pageviews/visitor (which in term can indirectly boost your website's authority). For extra SEO points, make sure the anchor text (the clickable part) of your internal links is a main keyword for the target page.
Meta tags
Once upon a time in the early days of search engines, meta tags were the secret weapon of the early SEO moguls. Back then, ranking for a specific keyword was sometimes just a matter of pasting the
keyword multiple times in the website and page meta tags.
Fast forward to 2012, meta tags are rendered almost obsolete after years of being abused for ranking manipulation purposes. But still, making sure to fill them up right certainly won't hurt your cause. Writing enticing text into the description meta tag can be a great way to got those humans to click towards your website, even when you're still ranking lower down the search results.
Outbound links
There are too many websites who are much too wary about including outbound links in their website, in fear they'll lose "link juice" to a competitor. This is arguably quite narrow thinking, and if you don't see why, then go look at some pages from the Wikipedia (which as you may know is a serious SERPS hog). Do you get it?
They include many, many outbound links in their pages… although there's generally a common trend. Those links tend to point only to authoritative and useful sources. This is something you should also strive to do: complement your content with qualitative citations that expand on the subject matter you're presenting.
Social Share Buttons
When used right, social share buttons can help your website grow in multiple ways: for one, they will expand the reach of your content, by encouraging readers to share pages in your website via their social media channels.
For two, did you know that social media activity is an increasingly important ranking factor? It only makes sense… after all, the search are very interested to give the users what they want. And social media activity on a page is a very good indicator of page quality. So make sure to include social share buttons cleverly as part of your design, and don't be ashamed of encouraging your readers to share the message with their friends!
