I had never stayed at a hostel before and I have to admit that I was impressed by this place. We stayed at the 6-bed dorm. Cleanliness was outstanding.

News"Tools for Schools" Well Underway
Tuesday, August 21, 2012 - 5:55 PM With the first day of school just two weeks away, many of us will be buying school supplies for our kids in the coming days. The United Way of Grande Prairie hopes as you are doing that, you'll pick up an extra few items for those kids in need. The annual Tools For School campaign is currently underway. Executive Director Gladys Blackmore says you can donate at one of three locations. "They can make cash donations at Staples at the till, and they can make gift donations at both Staples and Costco. And they can make cash or supplies [drop-offs] at the United Way at Centre 2000."
Blackmore says at the end of the campaign, everything will be divided among the three local school divisions, who will then disperse them to families who otherwise could not afford to buy school supplies Most Viewed Stories More Local

The primary benefit of a cloud CMS is that you never have to worry about the hosting and upkeep of your content management system. A typical non-cloud CMS requires internal or third-party web hosting, manual patching and upgrades, and lots of coordination. These elements add cost, complexity and frustration to the website development and maintenance process which is already pretty darn cumbersome.
Agility was a cloud CMS from day one. We used to call it an ASP CMS and then a SaaS CMS, but it's really all the same thing. Several other vendors claim to have a cloud CMS, but in reality, they are just traditional CMSs hosted in the cloud.
Check out this post on CMS Report for more background on installed vs. cloud CMS.

Letterman says he sees psychiatrist weekly
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Three years after an extortion scandal that led him to bare his infidelities, David Letterman said he sees a psychiatrist once a week to try to be the person that he believed he was.
The late-night talk show host gave an extraordinary interview to Oprah Winfrey in which he talked about his feud with her and Jay Leno, and about his efforts to make amends for his affairs with "Late Show" staff members that became public in 2009.
"For a long time I thought I was a decent guy," Letterman said. "But yet, thinking I was a decent guy, I was still capable of behavior that wasn't coincidental to leading a decent life. That's what I'm working on. I want to really be the person I believe that I was. I wanna be a good person."
The interview aired Sunday on Winfrey's OWN network and will be repeated Jan. 20. It was recorded in November.
Letterman said his wife, Regina, has forgiven him, and he tries every day to regain her trust. He said he still hasn't forgiven himself.
Letterman said he went through depression that he described as a sinkhole that he thought he wouldn't come out of. But with medication, he said, he pulled through and told Winfrey he now has compassion for others who have gone through depression.
"I always thought, 'Aw, you're depressed? Go do some push-ups and you'll feel better,'" he said. "But it's not that."
Details of the affairs emerged after a television producer threatened to unveil them if Letterman didn't give him money. The producer was later jailed for four months.
Letterman took control of the story in 2009 by coming clean about his affairs on his show before the details came out. He acknowledged before making the announcement that he had other motives.
"In the back of my mind — and this will give you the extent, the breadth and width of what a weasel I could be — I was thinking, eh, maybe I can make this, maybe I can get a little sympathy out of this deal here," he said. Continued...
Winfrey interviewed Letterman for "Oprah's Next Chapter" at Indiana's Ball State University, after being interviewed publicly by Letterman before students at the CBS comic's alma mater. They cleared the air on their own feud, which fueled Letterman's comedy for years.
Letterman said he believed it began when he called to ask Winfrey to appear on "Late Show" when he was going to do some shows in Chicago and Winfrey would not agree to appear.
Winfrey said she declined because she had been on Letterman's show before and there were drunk people in the audience who made it uncomfortable.
"I didn't want to have that experience again," she said. "That's really all it was for me."
Letterman said he didn't remember that appearance and was sorry for what Winfrey went through. He took her hand and kissed it. "I hope we can put this behind us, Oprah," he said.
"Let us do it, David," she said.
Despite Letterman's often withering comments about his NBC rival Leno, he said they were friends before Leno was picked over Letterman to be "Tonight" show host. Letterman believes they are still friends.
"He is the funniest guy I've ever known," Letterman said. "Just flat out, if you go to see him do his nightclub act, just the funniest, the smartest, a wonderful observationalist and very appealing as a comic. Therefore, the fact that he is also maybe the most insecure person I have ever known ... I could never reconcile that."
Letterman said some of the trash-talking between the two is simply the way comics often act toward one another.
Bruce Bobbins, a Leno spokesman, said Monday the NBC comic had no comment on Letterman's interview.

Did I get your attention? I'm willing to bet seven of my favorite freckles that most of you are thinking this post is about S-E-X. Am I correct?
Sorry to disappoint you folks. This blog post isn't about sex (at least, not in the way you think it is).
Nope. It's not about waiting a certain amount of time before hoping into the sack. (Although that is a good topic. Another blog. Another time).
If sex is what you're after, then we should stop this relationship right now. Turn away. Stop reading before feelings get involved. Some of you just logged off. That's okay. I'm alright (wipes tear). It's best to know now.
H-e-l-l-o? Is anybody out there….?
There you are. For all of the loyal lipstick warriors who kept reading, let's get this party started! (Men, we have to find a better name for you. Something about this isn't sitting right). Any suggestions? At any rate, Ladies and Gents, I submit to you one critical question: Are you giving it up too soon?
The "it" that I am talking about is your DREAM?
Let me clarify. I am defining your dream as the highest vision you have of yourself and your life. Where would you like to be? What do you see yourself doing, and who are you doing it with? What kind of relationships do you have? How much money are you making? What impact do you have on your family and the world? Steve Jobs, anyone?
Your dream is the thing you want so badly, you can taste it! It keeps you up at night. (Hey, keep it clean folks!). Your dream is the "you-ness" of you.
There is no person sent to this earth to do what you were sent here to do. Period.
Your dream could be that novel you've been putting off writing, the album that's been waiting to be released, the degree you've been thinking of getting; or the film you've been dying to star in opposite Don Cheadle in the Bahamas directed by Quentin Tarantino, in 95 degree weather…..Oh, and whatever you had in mind too.
I digress. Pardon me. Where are my manners?
Since we are still dating….I mean, reading, I owe it to you to share exactly what's on my mind. Come closer, my darlings, I have sweet nothings to whisper in thy ear….Here's the deal:
As an actress in this crazy business called "Hollywood," I sure have some wild stories to tell! I can laugh at them now. But at times, it wasn't pretty. Over the course of my career, there have been moments when it seemed like I would never get the chance to do what I love. (Can anyone relate)? *Shameless plug coming in 3,2,1….
And to top it off, it seemed as if always needed other people's permission to make my dream come true! It was frustrating, to say the least. I wondered: Should I continue pursuing a career as an actress? Should I give the whole thing up? Has this happened to you? By your lack of a response, I'm going to guess not. Fine. Be that way.
But just in case I am NOT the only one, we should keep going. Here are my…
Top Five Signs You May Be Giving Up on Your Dream Too Soon (AKA The Dream-Killers) :
- You're afraid. Yes, I said it. You are afraid sh***less! You are giving up on your dream not because you want to, but because you think you have to. Basically, you prefer playing it safe than taking the risk necessary to live your life to the fullest. No judgment here at all. But I owe it to you to be honest.
- You don't have the money. Or the time, or the education, or the smarts, or the talent, or the…fill in the blank. Let me ask you: If (blank) was not an issue, would you go for it? I'll bet two more freckles that's a 'YES'!
- You're listening to the wrong people. Someone told you (maybe a parent, a teacher, friends, society, an industry, the world) that you can't do it, it's impossible, it's too hard, you will fail, it's too big of a risk, you're too old, too young, your pinky finger is too long…blah, blah, blah! You get my point. More importantly, you believed them. (Note: the "someone" could be you).
- You believe it's possible, just not for YOU. You support everyone else in making their dreams come true. But when it comes to your dream? Fuggeddaboudit. Your dream might as well be on the back of a milk carton because it's nowhere to be found! Was that insensitive? Sorry. Just trying to make a point.
- You are not happy. You just have this nagging, persistent feeling that there is more to life than what you are doing. There's more you are here to do, to be, to say, to have, to give, to express, and to experience. Sometimes, there's just an empty feeling in the pit of your stomach, or a little something that says "You are meant to do something really great". I know you know what I am talking about
Now that we know each other a little better, I can be honest with you. Many of us treat our dreams much like we do our dating life. Where am I going with this? Come closer…
One Night Stands, Flings, & A Dream—
Some of us have One Night Stands with our Dream. You have your eye on said Dream. It looks good, tantalizing…like something you must have. You get together, its' hot, it's heavy, it's FIRE! Passion abounds. You have a torrid rumble in the sack, and wake up the next morning dazed and confused–not totally sure of your dreams name. (I am only going on what I've been told. Don't judge me). You do the walk of shame, and bolt for the door. You drop your Dream faster than Hermain Cain did his presidential bid. Never to call or see each other again. Sound familiar?
For others, you treat your dream just like a Causal Fling. You're half-way in, half-way out. Never fully committing to each other. You and Dream rendezvous for a few weeks, months, (and in some cases a few years). But things never really get off the ground. You start looking at other options that have caught your fancy. When things get too "hectic" you head for the hills. Hard work? Tenacity? What's that? You split. And just like that– POOF! You're gone. Never to call, write, email, text, Facebook, twitter, Linkedin, or speak to each other again.
Guess what? YOUR DREAM IS CALLING! And it's pregnant with so many possibilities!
2012 is upon us. This is your year. This is my year. This is our time to really go for it. I mean really go for it with everything we've got! Your best is yet to come. Here are a few tools we should keep close at hand. Walk with me...
I'm big advocate of practicing safe-sex. I'm equally passionate about practicing safe-dreaming.
- Set a clear intention of what you want to create and how you desire your life to be. Write it down. Keep it protected. Create small, achievable action steps that you can commit to doing consistently. Even if it means you dedicate just three hours a week to your Dream, while you work another job or take care of other obligations.
By all means, don't abandon it.
- Keep it in focus. Surround yourself with people who uplift and see the best in you. Don't go dream-swaping with just anyone. You wouldn't share your bed with just anyone. Take the same care with your Dream.
In order to create the life you desire you MUST stay married to the Dream. Be fully committed through the ups and the downs. All of them. This is non-negotiable. I am talking about sticking with it–NO MATTER WHAT! Even when there is no evidence (or signs) of your dream coming true. Even when it seems like everyone else around you is getting theirs. Patience and persistence are critical at this point. Hold an inner vision of your dream, even when others don't. Correction: especially when others don't.
I believe true success is 90% your mindset, 10% work and %100 commitment.
Listen, I am by no means suggesting that I don't have challenges and struggles (that would be dang-gone lie)! Of course I do. We all do. But, I can say I am very grateful I did not give up when those little dream-killers could have easily made that possible. Which is why I wanted to share this information with you, in hopes that you too, can avoid their seductive trap. In my mind, I have already made it. My Dream is REAL. Regardless of anyone or anything outside of me. I've got things to do, baby! And you do too! So, let's keep our heads and hearts clear, determined, and focused so that we can accomplish what we set out to do in 2012.
Before I let you go my dearly Beloveds, may I ask one small favor? Please remember to court your Dreams….spend some quality time. Cherish them. Have a full on love-affair with your Dreams because I, and the rest of world need you too!
Loving you,
Caryn xoxxo

Kansas City Snapshot is a project created by the local chapter of the American Institute of Architects to celebrate the organization's 150th anniversary. As discussions continue about the future of the metropolitan area - from downtown Kansas City to Metcalf Avenue - organizers say this "yearlong experiment" could provide an opportunity to take a look at where we are now...and how we live, work and play.
By Laura Spencer
Artist Wilbur Niewald, professor emeritus of painting at the Kansas City Art Institute, began his year-long Guggenheim Fellowship on May 1.
This week, Archie Scott Gobber: Ready or Not is the inaugural exhibit in the Review Studios exhibit space, a local children's boutique presents a rock and roll concert at the RecordBar for parents and their kids, and a show at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art combines popular music and car culture.
One of Kansas City's most respected artists Ken Ferguson passed away in December. In April, a memorial service was held in his honor.

The California Judicial Council voted Thursday to indefinitely delay construction of a new Sacramento County criminal courthouse.
The new facility would have 44 criminal courtrooms with the latest technology, at a cost of $440 million.
However, during the same meeting in San Francisco, the council also approved spending $10 million to purchase a city block of the downtown rail yard at Fifth and H streets.
The location will be the eventual construction site of the courthouse.
Sacramento County Assistant Presiding Judge Robert Hight said, "As long as we have the land tied up, we can move forward and next year, hopefully, proceed with plans and construction."
Hight said the current courthouse on Ninth Street, built in the 1960s, is outdated and overcrowded.
The building has twice as many courtrooms as were intended in the original design.
One Sacramento County prosecutor says there are often so many trials under way that logistical problems result.
"The sheriff's department does not have the manpower to actually get defendants up to the courtrooms," said Tom Asker, deputy Sacramento district attorney. "As a result, there are hourlong delays and the jurors are impatient and unhappy and there's a waste of resources."
A spokesperson said the Sacramento City Development Department remains optimistic, with the approval to purchase the downtown site.

When I wear test shoes for company X, I get pre-production versions. The last shoe I tested came in a really awful color scheme. Part of the feedback that the company asked for was about the colors and whether that would affect my desire to purchase them... and while usually I do not care, this was so bad that I told them it definitely would affect this negatively. As in, "I love the way this shoe feels, but it is so ass ugly that I won't buy THIS color".
So in terms of whether shoe companies do "research", this company was at least interested in collecting feedback from weartesters about it.
That said, like most shoe companies, X has been cranking out the brightly colored stuff lately. Somebody likes it.
And once again Mr. Wizard (aka: Stevie Ray) explains the internet.
I like color on my running shoes, but some of Mizuno's offerings lately have completely taken any consideration I may have had to purchase completely off the table. If I'm ever in a gay pride parade, however, I'll know where to look...

Because this fiber collimator has no movable parts, it is compact and not susceptible to misalignment. Due to chromatic aberration, the effective focal length (EFL) of the aspheric lens is wavelength-dependent. As a result this collimator will only perform optimally at the design wavelength. The aspheric lens is factory-aligned so that it is one wavelength-adjusted focal length away from the fiber tip when inserted into the collimator. In addition, the aspheric lens has an AR coating that minimizes surface reflections.

EASLEY — Seasoned chamber of commerce members expressed pleasant surprise Thursday when local high school student described how they had learned leadership through giving.
"If this is an example, we are in pretty good shape with kids like this," said Terry Garrison. He was describing one Easley High School and two Liberty high School 11th graders who are most of the way through the first Junior Leadership Pickens County program. Members of the Greater Easley Chamber of Commerce at a Thursday luncheon learned about the successes of the first class of students to go through the program.
All three — Abby Smith of Easley and Dolan Holder and Bryce Powell of Liberty — said they had learned to step aside in leadership roles and listen to what others had to say. They also described how they experienced a way of making a difference in there community by helping at Helping Hands of Clemson, a shelter for abused and neglected children.
"I am rarely impressed, but I'm impressed by this," said Chamber member Don Crews.
The leadership group was developed from one managed by Chamber President Cindy Hopkins when she work for the Anderson Area Chamber of Commerce.
Brian Swords, Dean of the Easley Campus of Tri-County Technical College and a member of the board of coordinating committee for Junior Leadership, said the students requested a change in the program's curriculum to allow greater understanding of Helping Hands. "They said they knew about the schools. They want to know more about Helping Hands. We had to remake the program," Swords said.
In the end, he believes it was a valuable experience for the students.
So does Smith, the Easley student. "I am fortunate that I have never had to go through anything like that (services of a shelter), Smith told the chamber members. "I am fortunate that I never had the need This was the first time I had see anyone in a big struggle like that. You know they are in school but you don't really know about it because they (the sheltered students) don't talk about it."
She also saw through the program that problems can have solutions. "We can have an impact if we get together," she said.
Holder of Liberty High School agreed. "I've been blessed to always have a roof over my head at night. I was amazed that I could make a difference simply by going out and listen to some kids."
Powell, another Liberty High School student, found out that situations exist in Pickens County that he was unaware of. "We can have an impact," he said.
The students also said they learned value in listening to be leaders. "You can't have all leaders," Smith said. "Sometimes you have to step aside and listen to what others have to say and go along with that." She added with a smile, "Even if you know your way is right."
"I've learned that I don't always have the right answer, and sometimes I need to step aside.," Holder said.
The first class includes 25 students chosen from a list of 65 applicants nominated. They went through a written application, group interview and final selection process.
"We weren't looking for just the 4.0 student," Swords said. "Academics is not the only thing we were looking for."

RADNOR, PA - April 13, 2012 - Airgas, Inc. (NYSE: ARG) today announced that it received a fleet safety award from the Compressed Gas Association (CGA), the U.S. industrial and medical gas industry's standard-setting organization for the promotion of safety standards and safe practices. Airgas was awarded the CGA Fleet Safety Excellence Award for Cylinder Gas Transportation, Over 3 Million Miles driven per year during 2011. It was the third straight year Airgas was presented with the award. Duane Young, who headed Airgas' Safety, Environmental, Compliance and Risk Management (SAFECOR) organization for more than 20 years, received the Charles H. Glassier Safety Award in recognition of his safety leadership within the Compressed Gas Association.
The CGA calculates its Fleet Safety awards on a CGA member's total vehicle accident frequency rate per million miles driven during the year. Two awards honor cylinder gas fleets, with one for more than three million miles driven and one for less than three million miles driven.
Airgas is a five-time winner of the CGA Cylinder Gas Transportation award and has the largest cylinder gas fleet among CGA members. In addition to 2011, Airgas won the award in 2010, 2009, 2003 and 2002.
"We are honored to be recognized by the CGA for having the best safety record among large cylinder gas fleets," said Airgas Chief Executive Officer Peter McCausland. "Our drivers covered more than three million miles last year in safely meeting the needs of our cylinder gas customers. When you transport cylinder gases, those are very demanding miles. We cannot over state the importance of safety in our industry and we work hard to improve our already safe performance every day."
The CGA presented Duane Young, former Director of the Airgas SAFECOR organization and now Senior Engineer - Airgas Gas Operations, with the Charles H. Glasier Safety Award. Young has been in the compressed gas industry since 1974 and was Airgas' official representative to the CGA from 1999 until 2011. During his time with Airgas SAFECOR, he managed the development and implementation of 28 regulatory compliance systems for Airgas that led to a more than 60% reduction in the frequency and severity of workplace accidents and established Airgas as an industry leader in fleet safety.
"Duane provided a strong foundation for Airgas' safety and health leadership during a time when our company was dramatically changing," McCausland added. "With more than 300 acquisitions and a workforce that grew from less than 1,000 to more than 14,000, Duane set the standard for working safely at Airgas."
The Charles H. Glasier Safety Award honors the memory of Charles H. Glasier, a leader in the industry, a strong supporter of safety, a former CGA chairman (1980), and an active participant in the CGA for more than 40 years. The award was created in 1994 and is presented annually.

It's time for our wrap of who has their name in lights at the moment ... and who is making the headlines for the wrong reasons in rugby this week.
They're on fire!
England: Now that they're over the French hurdle, it's hard to see England missing out on the Six Nations crown. Surely Italy will not pose a problem at Twickenham, meaning Chris Robshaw and co. should head to Cardiff with a healthy points difference. Any Championship-winning campaign needs a splash of luck and Manu Tuilagi's fortuitous try on Saturday looks set to be a crucial moment in the title chase.
Scotland: Sunday's success over Ireland at Murrayfield meant that the hosts recorded back-to-back Six Nations wins for the first time since 2001. Victory over Wales next week would even keep them in the hunt for a maiden title.
Thierry Dusautoir and Wesley Fofana: Once again, 'Titi' has been a shining light in the gloomy atmosphere that is surrounding Les Bleus' Six Nations campaign. France's captain is the tournament's top tackler, having made 37 hits without missing a single one. Fofana was finally returned to midfield at Twickers and found his way to the tryline... 'nough said.
New Zealand's Super Rugby conference: This is the way rugby is meant to be played. With so much televised sport on offer these days, it's sometimes hard to choose what to prioritise. So often the 'big' games fail to deliver - on both sides of the equator - but it's a rare thing to witness a boring game involving the Kiwi franchises. If you need convincing, check out the highlights from the Highlanders v the Chiefs last Friday.
The Brumbies: Two from two, top of the overall table, looking solid. The Brumbies revival continues.
The Kings: No team has ever won on debut in Super Rugby - until now. Sure, playing the Force at home is the easiest fixture on the calendar, so things will only get harder. But credit were credit is due because the Kings have already exceeded most pundits' expectations.
Sergeal Petersen: The youngest South African in Super Rugby since 1997 sent the Kings faithful wild by scoring two tries, including what proved to be the match winner against the Force. Just three months ago he was in high school, now he is the toast of Port Elizabeth.
Blues youngsters: Francis Saili, Charles Piutau and Steven Luatua were all outstanding against the Hurricanes. They were also all born in 1991, so they should have plenty of years ahead of them. Add to the mix the likes of Frank Halai, who scored two tries on debut, and the future is looking bright in Auckland.
Saracens: Trailing 17-6 at half-time at Welford Road, Sarries looked down and out. Four second-half tries later, the visitors claimed a remarkable comeback victory - their fourth successive (regular season) win at Leicester - to retain second spot in the standings and close the gap on Harlequins to a singe point.
Treviso: A five-try win over Munster is something to be proud of. Before fans in Limerick start complaining about players on Six Nations duty, they should ask themselves which team provides of the bulk of Italy's squad.
Brrrrr....someone put the kettle on!
Philippe Saint-Andr�: France's head coach was on the verge of tears at Saturday's post-match press conference and we're not surprised. The knives are truly out in the French press corps. The visitors were the better team for about an hour but some curious tactical changes from PSA saw the wheels come off and England seize the initiative. The Wooden Spoon is a real possibility and PSA's job must be under threat.
Ireland: How do you lose a game when you enjoy 71 percent possession and 77 percent territory? Ask Declan Kidney, because we don't know.
Dimitri Yachvili: Biarritz's loss at home to Racing Metro was further soured when the home scrum-half stamped on Racing centre Henry Chavancy's leg, sparking a dust-up. Yachvili saw yellow but deserves a lengthy ban for his disgraceful actions, which were worse than those that saw Cian Healy handed a three-week suspension. Have a look at 1:50:45 here. Unfortunately, France's farcical disciplinary process means he is unlikely to face a hearing before Friday's Basque derby with Bayonne.
Leicester's meltdown: As mentioned above, Tigers blew an 11-point half-time lead on home soil against fellow title contenders. We doubt the tone of Richard Cockerill's subdued comments to the press afterwards would have been repeated behind closed doors.
Elton Jantjies and the Stormers: Heard from a Bulls fan at the weekend: "You don't take second-hand Lions into a Bull fight." 0/4 from the kicking tee was not the kind of Stormers debut Jantjies was hoping for. Coach Allister Coetzee called his team's first-half performance "an embarrassment to the Stormers jersey." They will seek redemption at the 'Shark Tank' on Saturday.
Craig Joubert (if you're French): South Africa's top ref is to France what Bryce Lawrence is to South Africa or Wayne Barnes is to New Zealand as many French fans still hold a grudge in the wake of the infamous final 20 minutes of the 2011 World Cup final. He's no more popular after this weekend's loss to England. "I won't comment on the rucks nor the decision to award (Tuilagi's) try. We know Joubert," said Saint-Andr�. Ouch.

JEFFERSON COUNTY, N.Y. -- The Coast Guard rescued two boaters from a sinking boat on Lake Ontario.
A rescue crew from the Sackets Harbor station responded to a mayday call in the area of Stony Point around 1:40 p.m. Saturday. This picture, taken by that crew, shows rescuers pumping water out of the boat to keep it afloat. They were able to get it towed to a marina in Henderson.
Officials say the two boaters on board were wearing life jackets and they were able to get help because they had a marine radio.

Jones bat is back after batting .144 in August
Garrett Jones is swinging the bat well again. In his past 10 games, Jones is batting .324 despite not having a homerun since August 31st. Jones entered August batting .274, which dipped down to .247 by the end of the month.
"Something I feel like I've been doing the best all year this past two weeks is being able to drive the ball the other way," Jones said. "And just hitting line drives, not thinking home runs, just hitting line drives and being more productive at the plate."
Jones tried altering his batting stance during his rough stretch, which actually made things worse.
"It was a domino effect there and it got to the point where I was just screwed up," Jones said.
"In the beginning of the season they were pitching me down and away, down and away, down and away," he said. "I was getting anxious trying to pull the ball, thinking about hitting a home run, and not just taking what the pitcher was giving me."
Since then, Jones has been taking a more simplier approach to the plate, and focoused on hitting the pitch wherever he can.

Mar 9 2013
An Egyptian court has confirmed the death sentences against 21 people for taking part in a deadly football riot but acquitted seven police officials for their alleged role in the violence.
Suspected fans enraged by the verdict torched the football federation headquarters and a police club in Cairo in protest.
The trial over the melee that killed 74 people after a football game in the city of Port Said in early 2012 has been the source of some of the worst unrest to hit Egypt in recent weeks. After the court sentenced the 21 people - most of them Port Said fans - to death in late January, violent riots erupted in the city that left some 40 people dead, most of them shot by police.
On Saturday, the court announced its verdict for the other 52 defendants in the case, sentencing 45 of them to prison, including two senior police officers who got 15-year terms each. Twenty-eight people were acquitted, including seven police officials.
As expected, the court's decision failed to defuse tensions over the case, which has taken on political undercurrents at a time when the entire nation is mired in political turmoil, a worsening economy and growing opposition to the rule of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.
Shortly after the verdict was announced, suspected fans of Cairo's Al-Ahly club who had gathered in the thousands outside the team's headquarters in central Cairo went on a rampage, torching a police club nearby and storming Egypt's soccer federation headquarters before setting it ablaze.
The twin fires sent plumes of thick black smoke billowing out over the Cairo skyline. Two army helicopters were being used to put out the fires. At least five people were injured in the protests, a Health Ministry official told the MENA state news agency. In anticipation of more violence, authorities beefed up security near the Interior Ministry, which is in charge of the police force, with riot police deploying in the streets around the complex in central Cairo.
Earlier at the courthouse across town, Judge Sobhi Abdel-Maguid read out the verdict live on TV, sentencing five defendants to life in prison and nine others to 15 years in jail. Six defendants received 10-year jail terms, two more got five years and a single defendant received a 12-month sentence.
The court's decision on the nine Port Said security officers on trial was among the most highly anticipated - and potentially explosive - verdicts. In the end, the judges sentenced the city's former security chief, Major General Essam Samak, and a colonel both to 15 years in prison, while the others were acquitted.
Al-Ahly's fans accuse the police of collusion in the killing of their fellow supporters, arguing that they had advance knowledge of plans by supporters of Port Said's Al-Masry to attack them. They also accuse them of standing by as the Al-Masry fans set upon the visiting Al-Ahly supporters. The court rulings can be appealed.

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. -- An Averill Park teen spent his first day at school with his new Diabetic Alert dog to help monitor his health.
Isaiah Thomas, 14, just received Max, a service dog, to help him monitor his sugar levels. Max can smell high and low blood sugars of diabetics and can alert Isaiah by pawing at him and wining if his sugars fluctuate out of the normal range.
Max comes from the National Institute of Diabetic Alert Dogs. They train dogs anywhere from four and six months using the same scent training that FBI drug dogs go through.
Mom Lynda Martin said, "It's just amazing. It's been definitely a wonderful journey, and we're just so happy that Max is finally here."
Isaiah will be able to bring Max wherever he goes.

Maritime Alps, geology and photos
Maritime Alps are the south-western part of the Alps, doing my thesis as a research in petrography I spent several months and two summers on the so called 'Argentera Massif' where I surveyed and mapped an area of twenty-five square kilometers of this alpine area.
It was a fundamental experience in my life for several reasons.
I was basically alone, I needed to take care of logistic, food, rock samples, papers, my tent, planning my walks, photos.
Photos, basically images of rocks and mountains, were needed to complete the survey task but not really intended as art.
I had a good point and shoot camera, light and easy, nothing special of course but it did the job honestly.
Every night in my tent was relaxing and I not had fear as I was completely focused on the field work.
Sometimes I find myself thinking that actually I was really, really lucky at that time back in 1995.
Not only there was no digital camera but also no affordable mobile phones.
It was me the nature and no one else.
- the photos have been realized starting from original prints using a scanner HP, wait to load completely the page before click on the pictures, be aware that it can take several seconds -

We will NEVER tell you via phone, text, or email that your card has been de-activated and for you to call a phone number or link to a website to re-activate it. These scams are looking for you to enter your 16 digit card number, PIN and CVV2/CVC2 code on the back of the card.
EMAIL PHISHING is an email message that asks you to click on a link, which then takes you to a website and then asks you to enter your card information.
LAND LINE TELEPHONE "VISHING" Vishing, (Voice phISHING) is the voice counterpart to phishing. Rather than being directed by e-mail to a Web site, an e-mail message asks the user to make a telephone call. The call triggers a voice response system that asks for the user's card number or other personal or financial information. The initial bait can also be a telephone call with a recording that instructs the user to phone an 800 number or another area code within or outside of the United States. Because people are used to entering card numbers over the phone, this technique can be effective.
TEXT MESSAGE "SMISHING" Smishing (SMS phISHING) is the mobile phone counterpart to phishing. Rather than being directed by e-mail to a Web site, a text message is sent to the user's cell phone or other mobile device with some ploy to click on a link. The link causes a Trojan to be installed in the cell phone or other mobile device.
The Credit Union will NEVER ask you for personal information via text message, email or unsolicited phone calls. If you have any doubt about who is on the phone, call the Credit Union directly or the phone number on your credit or debit card. 24/7 toll-free numbers can also be found on your credit card statement. Never open an unsolicited email or text message. Monitor your accounts on a regular basis. If you have not signed up for online banking, now is a perfect time. Immediately report any suspicious activity or phishing attempts to us as soon as possible so we can alert the proper authorities.

To Kill a Mockingbird
I'm beginning To Kill a Mockingbird with my Sophomores this week and thought I would do some research on the film starring Gregory Peck. If you've never read the novel by Harper Lee, you must put it on your list. It is an amazing, timeless story that teaches us about tolerance. Lee only wrote one novel, and some even questioned whether she actually wrote it or not (her best friend was Truman Capote and it was rumored he penned it for her). She didn't even want to be involved in writing the screenplay for the film version that came out 2 years after the novel, in 1962.
Here are some facts about the film. Enjoy your Wednesday friends!
--Although Gregory Peck's inspirational performance as Atticus Finch turned out to be a perfect highlight to his long career, Rock Hudson was actually the studio's first choice for the role. James Stewart was also offered the part, but told the producers he believed the script was "too liberal", and feared the film would be controversial.
--The courtroom is a recreation of the interior of the Monroe County Courthouse in Monroeville, Alabama, Harper Lee's hometown. Prior to filming, production designers traveled to Monroeville, took photographs and measurements, and created a near duplicate on soundstages at Universal Studios.
--The watch used in the film was a prop, but Harper Lee gave Gregory Peck her father's watch after the film was completed because he reminded her so much of him.
--Phillip Alford told his mother that he did not want to go to the auditions for the part of Jem Finch but when his mother told him he would miss half a day of school, he immediately decided to go to them.
--Brock Peters started to cry while shooting the testifying scene, without rehearsing it this way, and Gregory Peck said that he had to look past him, instead of looking him in the eye, without choking up himself.
--It has been reported that this film was Gregory Peck's favorite work.
--The first scene that Gregory Peck shot showed him returning home from his character's law office while his children ran to greet him. Harper Lee was a guest on the set that day, and Peck noticed her crying after the scene was filmed. "Why are you crying?" Peck asked. Peck had looked just like her late father, the model for Atticus, Lee explained; Peck even had a little round pot belly like her father's. "That's not a pot belly, Harper," Peck told her, "That's great acting."
--Mary Badham (Scout) and Gregory Peck (Atticus) became close during filming and kept in contact for the rest of his life. He always called her Scout.
--The character of Dill is purportedly based upon Truman Capote, who had been a childhood friend of Harper Lee when he was sent to live with relatives in Lee's hometown each summer. Truman Capote, in turn, based one of his characters in his literary work "Other Voices, Other Rooms" upon his recollection of Harper Lee.
--Robert Duvall stayed out of the sun for six weeks and dyed his hair blond for the role of Boo Radley who, according to the story, spent much of his life as a recluse. The character of Arthur "Boo" Radley is based in part on Harper's Lee's recollection of Alfred "Son" Bouleware," who lived with his parents in a dilapidated, mostly boarded up house just a few doors away from the Lee home. He was kept secluded in the house by his father, following a vandalism incident in which young Alfred was involved. Described in the book and in the movie as leaving the house only at night because the sun hurt his eyes, this would indicate that Boo Radley was a person of Albinism (lack of pigment in the skin, in the hair, and in the irises of the eyes.)
--Robert Duvall's first movie.
--Mary Badham became the youngest girl to receive an Oscar nomination, ironically losing the award to another child actress, Patty Duke in The Miracle Worker (1962).
--Gregory Peck's 9 minute summation speech was nailed in one take.

My all time fave movie.When shooting the opening scene,when Atticus is walking home with his kids, Peck noticed Harper Lee standing behind the camera and her eyes were glistening. He was very pleased to think his performance had moved her to tears, and mentioned it to her after the shoot.'Oh it was just that you reminded me so much of my father' she said 'he has a little pot belly just like you!'.

OMG...My favorite movie and book...ever! I have sooo many issues with this movie. First of all...Gregory Peck...can you say handsome beyond anything? The injustice that this movie portrays is heart breaking. The scene were Atticus is sitting under the lamp, guarding Bill Robinson and the angry mob comes to confront him and Scout starts to recognize some of the men in the mob and don't even get me started on the music...
Isn't it strange that she only wrote this one book? I also have her short bio "Mockingbird, a portrait of Harper Lee". Thanks for making my day..(((hug)))
ps. a few years ago this novel was the 2nd most issued book in history...the bible was 1st. - December 9, 2009 at 9:58 AM

Oh i absolutely love this film. I first read the book and saw the film when we studied it at school, and i fell in love with it straight away. It has such a great message and it reminds us all not to judge on first impressions.
Great post! xx - December 9, 2009 at 10:56 AM

I can't believe I'm going to admit this but I've never read the book nor seen the movie! *gasp* lol Hopefully I'll drag myself out from under the musicals and give this one a whirl!

One of my all time favorites...movie AND book. Excellent in every way.
By the way, Harper Lee always claimed to have been well into writing a second novel, but said her apartment was vandalized one night and the manuscript stolen. She said she didn't have the heart to start anew. I, personally, think there was no second novel, that she was simply afraid she wouldn't be able to top her first...and she was probably right - how do you top perfection? - December 9, 2009 at 1:12 PM
- kimber doll said...
I remember this book from high school! That's so neat that you get to teach and study famous literature for a living =)
I remember not being too into this book, but then again I wasn't into too much back then. Maybe I'll re read it! - December 9, 2009 at 3:51 PM

I remember watching this movie in High school and being like Woa this is good. The book was great too. I still can't believe Boo was Robert Duvall. I like the new background and header too!! =)

This is my favorite book and movie of all times. My darling daughter actually bought me a signed 1st edition for Christmas, a treasure to be sure as Ms. Lee was shy and not fond of crowds, so autographed copies are harder to come by.
My son's middle name...Atticus. Gregory Peck use to be my dream date. Thanks for sharing this lovely book and the trivia behind the story. - December 9, 2009 at 5:53 PM
- Courtney said...
I adore this book, and the movie. It was required reading for sophomore year, but I had read it a few years before. My parents had bought me the book, along with The Outsiders, which we had to read in 8th grade. I loved already knowing the stories, getting to re-read them for school, and having my own copy that I knew wouldn't have to be returned for future class use. :)
It's amazing that the 9minute speech was delivered in one take. Though, I think for it to have been done any other way would probably have detracted from it. Too cool. - December 9, 2009 at 7:32 PM

Thanks Courtney! I hope you can visit again...great history about what the novel meant to you. Kori xoxo

I saw this movie as a young person and it has stayed with me.
I really enjoyed reading the outtakes so to speak here. So interesting. I love Gregory Peck, he seemed such a gentleman.

8 people recommend parking here 5 left comments
Booking: I was unsure how to book overnight parking, and when guessing at pick-up and drop-off times, I wasn't sure if there would be a penalty for over-staying or under-staying. Also, I wasn't sure if the garage had an evening closure time or if it provided 24-hour access. Also, I didn't realize that the ParkWhiz coupon had to be printed out and submitted to an attendant until a few hours before I was parking--because I was an out-of-town visitor, I scrambled to find a printer. Finally, upon parking, discovered that there was no attendant available to take the coupon. Parking: The instructions on finding the garage were spot-on and extremely helpful, though they could stand to be printed out in a larger font. Exiting: It was difficult to find someone to accept the coupon to provide an exit ticket--there were no instructions on the location of the garage office, but a security guard who clarified that he was not associated with the garage was very helpful. Overall, however, I would definitely recommend ParkWhiz to anyone trying to find parking in San Francisco.
It was a very convenient location for getting to Chinatown, the Financial District, even to the Embarcadero and the Ferry Building. It was a bit difficult to park for larger vehicles (we were following one as we tried to park). Overall, a good bet for parking in SF!
It was a relief to know that we had a parking spot on New Years Eve! I thought someone would greet us upon entering, but there was no indication of what to do with our parking voucher. We found a spot, then went to the reception desk of the Hilton to find out how to use the voucher. We submitted it upon exiting which was easy, but the print out suggested that we would submit it upon entering. A little confusing, but now that we know, we would certainly use the facility again, and the price was much cheaper than the standard rates.
Easy to access, walking distance from Ferry Building.
Even though it turned out that there was a lot of parking available in SF that afternoon, it was still comforting to know we had a reserved place to park. It would be helpful to explain to all the attendants and security about the program, as they seemed very surprised about it, but all were helpful and friendly once we showed them the receipt.
This is an indoor covered garage located in the heart of the Financial District. The garage is next to the Transamerica Pyramid. This location has an electronic car charging station, 24 hour security, on-site car wash, and parking for motorcycles.
Vehicle height restriction: 75 inches
This location is a commercial parking garage.
This parking garage is located on the southeast corner of Kearny St and Washington St. The entrance for this garage is on Washington St in between Kearny St and Montgomery St. Look for a white and blue Public Parking sign above the entrance. This is the Hilton Hotel parking garage.
This parking is 0.94 miles from The Warfield.

Computer software, or just software, is a collection of computer programs and related data that provide the instructions telling a computer what to do and how to do it. We can also say software refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of the computer for some purposes. In other words software is a set of programs, procedures, algorithms and its documentation. Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. The term was coined to contrast to the old term hardware (meaning physical devices). In contrast to hardware, software is intangible, meaning it "cannot be touched (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Software)

Shirley Baca discusses Joe Skeen
By Bob Mitchell
Las Cruces, NM – When Shirley Baca ran against incumbent Congressman Joe Skeen in 1996, Baca lost. She ran against him again two years later. She lost again, but got more votes the second time around. Shirley Baca now serves on the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission, but her memories of running against Skeen are still quite fresh.
