Grigor Dimitrov's presence in the Bulgarian team will be a huge boost for the home side as they look to build after their promotion last year. Sofia's mayor Jordanka Fandakova conducted the draw giving Dimitrov the opening rubber against Juho Paukku with the Bulgarian looking the much stronger on paper.
Micke Kontinen is chosen ahead of Harri Heliovaara as Finland's other singles player and will face Alexander Lazov in Friday's other rubber before Tihomir Grozdanov and Dimitar Kuzmanov are Bulgaria's nomination to face Heliovaara and Henri Kontinen in the crucial doubles rubber.
The draw was conducted in the presence of Hans Broucke, director of BNP Paribas in Bulgaria who commented after, "I wish to thank the Bulgarian Tennis Federation for the perfect organization of the tournament, we know how hard it is host a event like this. BNP Paribas has supported tennis for 40 years and we are very proud of this long and beneficial collaboration."

Ireland won an incredibly close battle against Egypt last April to maintain their place in Europe/Africa Zone Group II and have been rewarded with a tie against an Estonian side that features three Davis Cup newcomers in Jaan Kononov, Marek Merksoo and Markus Kerner.
James McGee initiates proceedings on Friday against Kononov hoping to give the hosts a fast start before Sam Barry faces a stern test in Vladimir Ivanov. James Cluskey, looking for his first victory in Davis Cup having lost all of his previous six, has been prospectively paired with Colin O'Brien to compete aginst Ivanov and Merksoo prior to the all-important reverse singles rubbers.

Davis Cup Commitment Award player Andis Juska is set to feature in his 30th tie for Latvia this weekend and will open proceedings against Mohamed Haythem Abid looking to add to his reputation in the competition.
Ernests Gulbis will also return to action with the 24-year-old taking on an opponent four years his junior in the form of Slim Hanza. The four singles players are all scheduled to return to court the following day for doubles action and for Sunday's reverse doubles climax.

- Venue: Monte Carlo Country Club - Location: Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Monaco- Surface: Outdoor Clay
Belarus will travel to the Monte Carlo Country Club as the favourites to progress to the second round with the likes of Dzmitry Zhyrmont and Uladzimir Ignatik avaliable for the singles rubbers.
The task of keeping the hosts hopes alive on the first day have fallen to Benjamin Balleret and Jean-Rene Lisnard who face Zhyrmont and Ignatik respectively. Guillaume Couillard and Thomas Oger will then come in for Saturday's doubles where doubles specialist Max Mirnyi will be waiting with partner Andrei Vasilevski.
Friday:R1: Benjamin Balleret (MON) v Dzmitry Zhyrmont (BLR)R2: Jean-Rene Lisnard (MON) v Uladzimir Ignatik (BLR)

- Venue: Manejul de Atletica Usoara- Location: Chisinau, Moldova- Surface: Indoor Hard
Moldova are looking to reach the second round of Europe/Africa Zone Group II for the first time in the nations history and face a tough but not impossible test against Hungary this weekend having lost their only previous meeting.
Hungary have named a youthful side for the tie with Marton Fucsovics, who turns 21 next week and is one of the more senior players, nominated to take on Maxim Dubarenco to kick-off the tie on Friday. Radu Albot, undoubtedly Moldova's greatest hope, will face debutant Viktor Filipenko in the second match. Albot will then pair with Dubarenko and face yet another debutant in Levente Godry who will likely be led by Fucsovics in the doubles.
Friday:R1: Maxim Dubarenco (MDA) v Marton Fucsovics (HUN)R2: Radu Albot (MDA) v Viktor Filipenko (HUN)
Saturday:R3: Radu Albot/Maxim Dubarenco (MDA) v Marton Fucsovics/Levente Godry (HUN)
Sunday:R4: Radu Albot (MDA) v Marton Fucsovics (HUN)R5: Maxim Dubarenco (MDA) v Viktor Filipenko (HUN)
- Venue: Mojmilo Sports Hall - Location: Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina- Surface: Indoor Hard
Bosnia-Herzegovina are without the services of Amer Delic who has been the stand-out performer for his nation in recent years but will still hope that their team has enough strength to see off a Luxembourg team who do not feature a single player inside the Top 1000 due to the absence of stalwart Gilles Muller.
Those absences have left Damir Dzumhur and Mike Scheidweiler to open proceedings on Friday, to be followed by Aldin Setkic against Ugo Nastasi, who is making his Davis Cup debut this weekend. A more familiar face will feature for Luxembourg on Saturday as two Laurent Bram teams with Commitment Award recipient Scheidweiler.
Friday:R1: Damir Dzumhur (BIH) v Mike Scheidweiler (LUX)R2: Aldin Setkic (BIH) v Ugo Nastasi (LUX)
Saturday:R3: Tomislav Brkic/Damir Dzumhur (BIH) v Lauernt Bram/Mike Scheidweiler (LUX)
Sunday:R4: Damir Dzumhur (BIH) v Ugo Nastasi (LUX)R5: Aldin Setkic (BIH) v Mike Scheidweiler (LUX)
- Venue: Siauliu Arena - Location: Siauliai, Lithuania- Surface: Indoor Hard
Lithuania are led by Ricardas Berankis who was also the driving force behind their promotion out of Europe/Africa Zone Group III last season. He will be backed up by Dovydas Sakinis, who will feature in the opening rubber before pairing with Berankis on Saturday.
Cyprus have a hugely inexperienced team for this tie with just two of the players having played in the competition before and neither able to boast of a singles victory. Rares Cuzdriorean possesses the greatest history in the competition having played in six ties and has been chosen as Sakinis' opponent for the first match of the tie before Petros Chrysochos, aged just 16-year-old, will face the mighty task of upsetting Berankis.
Friday:R1: Dovydas Sakinis (LTU) v Rares Cuzdriorean (CYP)R2: Ricardas Berankis (LTU) v Petros Chrysochos (CYP)
Saturday:R3: Ricardas Berankis/Dovydas Sakinis (LTU) v Petros Chrysochos/Rares Cuzdriorean(CYP)
Sunday:R4: Ricardas Berankis (LTU) v Rares Cuzdriorean (CYP)R5: Dovydas Sakinis (LTU) v Petros Chrysochos (CYP)
- Venue: Club Internacional de Football - Location: Lisbon, Portugal- Surface: Indoor Clay
Benin are making their first appearance at Europe/Africa Zone Group II level having won promotion last year. All the players from that succesful side have returned for this tie with Loic Didavi and Alecis Kelgou taking the lead in both singles and doubles.
They will never have faced anyone of the quality of this Portuguese side, however, and it will be an acheivement if they can keep pace with a team led by Joao Sousa who will be considered a strong favourite against Didavi in the Friday opener. Pedro Sousa will then face Alexis Klegou with all four players touted to return for the doubles on Saturday.
Friday:R1: Joao Sousa (POR) v Loic Didavi (BEN)R2: Pedro Sousa (POR) v Alexis Klegou (BEN)
Saturday:R3: Joao Sousa/Pedro Sousa (POR) v Loic Didavi/Alexis Klegou (BEN)

Along with its partners, the council intends to build skills, raise aspirations and develop employable 16 to 24-year-olds to nurture employability skills in their communities.
To achieve this the council aims to see a continued rise in the number of young people who achieve five or more GCSEs at A* to C grade including English and maths.
Cabinet members are due to discuss the proposals outlined in a progress report at a meeting next Wednesday.
Cabinet spokesperson for place, Coun Roy Miller, said: "This progress report shows the outlook in Barnsley is positive because we don't suffer from the high levels of youth unemployment seen in other parts of the country, instead the issue to be tackled is raising skills levels."

Here is a quick set of functions that will allow you to reboot / shutdown / logoff windows from c#
I was flicking though some things on another asp.net / c# and stumbled across the following post. It is aimed at providing a solution in VB.NET to reboot a computer. However I think its a pretty poor attempt at solving the problem so I have been digging though my code base and found the following solution.
The original solution looks something like this to logoff a user from a computer.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("shutdown", "-l -t 00");
Now you will probably notice that it will actually work. Well most of the time. Here is a list of problems that I can think of with the code above.
So here is a better solution. One that might actually work and as a bonus it will give you all the option avilable from C#. Just so you are aware I have this in a shared code lib called Stev.Win32 along with a bunch of other Win32 call's.
public static class User32
public static extern bool ExitWindowsEx(ExitWindowsFlags uFlag, UInt32 dwReserved);
public static bool ExitWindowsEx(ExitWindowsFlags uFlag)
return ExitWindowsEx(uFlag, 0);
public enum ExitWindowsFlags {
EWX_SHUTDOWN = 0x1,
EWX_REBOOT = 0x2,
EWX_FORCE = 0x4,
EWX_POWEROFF = 0x8,
EWX_FORCEIFHUNG = 0x10,
EWX_RESTARTAPPS = 0x40
To use it simply call User32.ExitWindowsEx(ExitWindowsFlags.LogOff); You can also or the options for more control.
As you can see above it really does not take too much more effort to dig though some of the windows documentation to fnid the correct values. It also becomes almost self explaining as to what it is doing and how it works. Though of course you now have no risk of running external programs unexpectedly. You can also get smarter error codes while using this function by calling GetLastError

Cs trade is imminent?
An NBA source said the Celtics are working to clear roster space over the next few weeks in order to make room for Evan Turner in the rotation. The Celtics aren't expected to announce the signing until those moves are made, although the sides have reached an agreement. The Celtics have 18 players on their roster, including the nonguaranteed deals of Keith Bogans, Chris Babb, and Chris Johnson. The Celtics really like Johnson's work ethic, but he averaged just 6.6 points in the five summer league games and shot 30.6 percent from the field and 18.8 percent from the 3-point line. The fact Johnson and Babb each played in all five games was a testament that team officials were taking a long look as to whether they would make a contribution next season.

Apple Inc chief executive officer Tim Cook visited China for the second time in less than 10 months, attaching great importance to the world's biggest mobile phone market.
Cook met with Miao Wei, head of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, on Tuesday, and discussed the development of China's information technology industry, global mobile communications and Apple's business in China, according to a statement on the ministry's website.
Chinese media reported that Cook was seen smiling in front of China United Network Communications Group Co Ltd's building in Beijing on Wednesday morning.
"Cook was very satisfied on China Unicom's iPhone 5 handset sales," said an official from China Unicom, who asked not to be named.
China Unicom was the first telecom carrier on the Chinese mainland to offer Apple's iPhone handsets with a contract. The company began offering the iPhone 5 on Dec 14.
A micro blog from China Unicom confirmed Cook's visit on Wednesday afternoon, saying Cook and his colleagues met high-level management at China Unicom. "The meeting went pretty well," the micro blog said.
Some Beijing residents said on Sina Weibo that they saw Cook in Beijing's central business district and shared photos of him. Wearing a black coat, the gray-haired Cook seemed at ease and was very amiable.
"Cook's visit to China Unicom is more or less a polite gesture," Sandy Shen, a telecom analyst at Gartner China, told China Daily. The two sides have a relatively long history of cooperation, Shen said.

Hey everyone!
I hope you all had a nice weekend! Can you believe it's June 1st already?!
Here's what I was up to this weekend…
On Friday night, Chris and I went out to dinner (no surprise there!). I started the meal with a watermelon wheat beer, and ordered the Key West Quesadilla appetizer (a shrimp quesadilla) as my entree.
I snapped this picture after I had already eaten one of the triangles. For an "appetizer," this certainly filled me up and I even shared a "slice" with Chris. It was super tasty and I loved the guac/sour cream/pico that came with it.
Before we headed home, we had another round of drinks (Angry Orchard for me!).
Saturday started with Pump 'n' Step, then I eventually had to head out to have an insurance adjuster look at my car. He said it looks like they should be able to do all paintless dent repair for the super-low cost of just under $8,000—can you believe that?! Yikes.
Chris and I finished out the night at his parents house to celebrate his sister's birthday. I ate way too much delicious food and had no problem passing out when I got home.
Today has been busy so far!
I went to a BodyVive class, then I had a list of errands to work through: Petco, Target, grocery shopping.
I was starving by the time I finished up our grocery shopping, so I stopped by Panera to pick up salads for lunch. Chris and I both got the strawberry poppy seed chicken salad.
After lunch I got a jump on laundry, did some cleaning, and took Stewie for a quick walk.
Hopefully, I'll find some time to relax this evening. One occupant in my house seem to be really good at the relaxing thing…
Clearly, he thinks we bought this recliner especially for him (hence the blanket covering it!).
What did YOU do this weekend?
What is your favorite Panera salad?

A 25-year-old Bozeman man was struck by a pickup and critically injured while riding his bicycle southwest of Bozeman and the Montana Highway Patrol is searching for the driver, who left the scene.
The patrol says Kevin Colter Kline was riding on a county road at about 1 a.m. Wednesday when he was struck from behind by a pickup truck.
Trooper Brandon Uhl says Kline was able to call his friends for help, but couldn't say where he was. They found him by following Kline's usual route.
Kline was hospitalized in critical condition in Bozeman on Wednesday and was to be flown to an out-of-state hospital for further treatment.
Officials are looking for a 1987-1991 Ford F-series pickup or full-sized Ford Bronco.

VMWare's market is shrinking in two ways. Competition, and Market Dynamics. Enterprise customers are more likely today than a year ago to rely on cloud apps and companies like Rackspace and Amazon so fewer customers. Also, with Hyper-V VMWare has greater competition than they've ever had. They are hoping/relying on an expansion into networking with Nicara and NSX. I think this is a great story with great messaging but they don't have the networking acumen nor the physical network installed base to make this work.
So, sure technically or emotionally this stock could go up. I'm not stock guru, but long term VMWare will have a tough time keeping their growth multiples.
That is where the Pivotal Initiative seeks to address. Actually if you follow the news Pivotal is poised to compete with AWS directly. And the best part is that part of that revenue from Pivotal will flow back to VMware's balance sheet. So yes they are aware of the threat but its not like they are doing nothing. Who will win ? Nobody knows we will just have to wait to see.
Sentiment: Hold
there is a reason why there is no retail following of this stock, and both of your posts are the exact reason Y... i will hold VMW on a short leash, this has gone nowhere since its inception

He started out at BBDO in 1969, and left the agency two years later to establish his own consulting firm that specialized in ethnic marketing. In the late 1970s, he had a stint at Lockhart & Pettus, a black advertising agency.
As an independent consultant in the three decades since, Moore's interest in civil rights has led him to work with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers, as well as Walter Fauntroy and Nelson Mandela's African National Congress.
His lobbying for African-Americans on Madison Avenue laid the groundwork for the Madison Avenue Project, a class-action lawsuit led by Cyrus Mehri and the NAACP.
Ad Age: How did the Madison Avenue Project come about?
Moore: I was introduced to Cyrus Mehri, and I presented the case and supporting documentation. He saw the injustice of the situation and agreed to undertake the effort.
One of the things that Cyrus does in his settlements is that he puts in place certain ongoing mechanisms that monitor where there's accountability from the top down to change the corporate culture from discrimination and exclusion. I'm not going to be here forever, and unfortunately, if I hadn't gotten this done, [Madison Avenue] would have gotten away scot-free.
Ad Age: What motivates you to take on the industry?
Moore: I've never liked bullies, and I don't like mendacity and obfuscation. Madison Avenue is like a plantation where the slave owners, the heads of the holding companies, benefit from the labor and the profits generated by the slaves and sharecroppers. I'm not finished with them yet! Before it's over, Madison Avenue will pay the price for its historical discrimination.
Were it not for black consumer spending, many of the icons of the American marketplace would not enjoy the advantages and profits that they do. Black consumers are the profit margin for many of Madison Avenue's clients, yet Madison Avenue refuses to acknowledge and give the correct value and importance that these consumers play to the overall success of their clients.
Ad Age: You've called chief diversity officers "pimps." Why?
Moore: Let's call them diversity parasites. They do nothing to help. If they do any good, where are the black executives in the organizations that they're hired to? Besides themselves, who else is there?
The diversity officers, I mean they're window dressing. They don't have power, they can't hire. But it's not just diversity officers. It's lawyers and diversity consultants and people that feed off of the exclusion to black people. It's like blood diamonds. These people profit off of the blood that black people have spent trying to break into and achieve success on Madison Avenue. They do nothing to help. They just get paid to run interference, to create meaningless dialogue.
Ad Age: What are you doing these days?
Moore: I collaborate with the Madison Avenue Project in developing the case. I also bring these issues to the public attention via the radio show that I do. I continue to advocate on behalf of African-Americans and their media with bodies like the New York City Council and also work to bringing this case before other governmental and regulatory bodies.
Ad Age: What keeps you going?
Moore: I do these things by myself. Nobody pays me. I don't ask for money. I'm not looking for a job. I'm only interested in the agencies and their clients doing the right thing. I'm interested in black institutions and black people getting parity for the economic contributions they make in terms of their consumer spending. I want to see them get their fair share.

Purported Arms Dealer Says He Just Wants To Run An Airline
A man portrayed in a new report as aspiring to fill the shoes of convicted arms trafficker Viktor Bout said in an interview he has been falsely maligned and is just trying to get a company started.
A report released this week by Kathi Lynn Austin, executive director of the non-profit group Conflict Awareness Project, alleged that Andrey Kosolapov, a former Russian Air Force officer, is operating a company in Mauritius that is bulking up to traffic weapons into conflict zones around the globe.
Kosolapov said in a telephone interview with Corruption Currents that his firm is merely "a normal, regional charter company."
"I was shocked to read all these things, because [they're] not true at all," he said.
Another Russian alleged by the report to be involved with the arms-trafficking efforts, Sergey Denisenko, didn't respond to a request from Corruption Currents for comment. Denisenko told the New York Times, however, that he had divested his shares in the company after accusations of fraud led to a falling-out with his former business partners.
Kosolapov and Denisenko set up shop in Mauritius and brought together a supporting cast from around the globe to assist the operation, according to Austin, who said she spent six weeks conducting interviews and reviewing documents for the investigation behind the report. Austin said both men are associates of Viktor Bout, who was jailed in the U.S. for conspiring to sell weapons to undercover agents posing as members of a Colombian rebel group.
Through a new company the two men created, Island Air Systems Ltd., the report alleges they sought to create a transport network that would ship weapons into conflict zones in the Middle East, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the Horn of Africa.
Kosolapov acknowledged a prior relationship with Bout in the 1990s, doing charter work in South Africa. He said he had shipped things like "rubber shoes and cooking oil" into the Congo, but never weapons.
In a followup email Thursday, Kosolapov wrote that he had never been connected with Bout "in any way whatsoever."
Due to his alleged previous involvement with Bout, Denisenko is under U.S. sanctions. Austin said Kosolapov is on a U.S. visa watchlist, citing U.S. officials, but that list is classified so his inclusion couldn't be independently confirmed.
However, at a briefing on the report, Austin handed reporters a letter to her from the Mauritius ambassador to the United Nations saying the government had rejected the company's application for the aviation certificate.
"Mauritius spares no effort to maintaining its standing as a jurisdiction of sound repute and will not allow its territory or its institutions to be used for illicit purposes," the letter said. A representative from the Mauritius mission to the U.N. confirmed the letter's authenticity.
Island Air Systems had been seeking an aviation certificate from the Mauritius Department of Civil Authority in order to operate. The company recently submitted a business plan and was waiting for its certificate when Austin did her six-week-long investigation. The formation of the company followed a series of blowups with some of its partners and sub-companies, according to the report.
The ambassador said in the letter that an ongoing investigation by Mauritian authorities has not found an air certificate would be used by the company for the purpose of transporting weapons, but the authorities would investigate other allegations in the report suggesting possible violations of Mauritius law.
Kosolapov, in the interview with Corruption Currents, said "I'm not aware about our rejection."
In the follow-up statement, Kosolapov reiterated that his company has the sole intention of operating a charter service between Mauritius, Rodrigues, Reunion, Seychelles and eventually Madagascar, and said he has given formal instructors to his lawyers in Mauritius to start legal proceedings against Austin for defamation.
Austin said Thursday she stood by the allegations against Kosolapov in the report. "If this case brings a discovery process where his activity will be illuminated, I welcome it," Austin said.

What a difference a cornerback makes. For the past few years, the Patriots secondary has been giving up huge amounts of yardage, and things looked bleak going into this year as well, until the team took a gamble on a trade.
Aqib Talib was acquired from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 1st. He couldn't take the field until his PED suspension was over, but when he did, we saw a gradual transformation of the unit as a whole as the team shuffled around a few pieces to their liking. Devin McCourty stayed at safety, while Kyle Arrington covered the inside, and things started to pay off almost immediately.
Talib is guy they put on their opponent's best receiver. In last week's case, it was Pro Bowler Andre Johnson, who was held to 8 catches for 95 yards, but more importantly, no TDs. Johnson had little impact on the game.
"He loves the game," Vince Wilfork said via Shalise Manza Young of the Boston Globe. "I always try to find guys that have the passion, have the love for the game, because I can play with anybody like that. When he got here, from day one, we saw his passion and love for the game and it didn't do anything but help us."
It certainly looks like head coach Bill Belichick made the right call bringing Talib in when many didn't see the point in acquiring a guy with a such a sketchy past.
"He's a good football player, good teammate, he's very well-respected because of his professionalism," Belichick said. "He studies hard and prepares well. He's tough. He competes well, both in practice and on Sundays. Smart kid. I like him; the team likes him. He's a good guy to be around, and he works hard and competes well. I think those are his most impressive qualities."
"He brings a lot of positives defensively," Wilfork added. "Being able to isolate him in some situations. Being able to do different things defensively because we have a guy like that. He is a special player. Ever since we got him, he has been making plays for us... He made this defense better and we are happy to have him. Anytime you can basically say, 'Hey, you got this guy and we are going to cover everybody else,' that is a good sign."
His assignment for Sunday likely will be to cover speedy wide receiver Torrey Smith, and Talib is up for the challenge. "Definitely, definitely. Whatever assignment Coach gives me, man, I'm going to take it and run with it."

Welcome to Week 2. Last Week saw 27 people become eliminated, a high number for week 1.
Last year's Week 2 saw a ton of players leave due to Arkansas' upset against LA-Monroe (thanks a lot, Arkansas). Will week 2 this year earn the same fate, stay tuned.
If you are not sure of what team you picked last week and if they are eliminated, if you picked one of these teams last week, you are out:
Tulsa (10 people picked them)
Rutgers (1)
Iowa (9)
Southern Miss (2)
new Mexico (3)
Idaho (1)
Boise St. (1)
You Iowa guys almost deserve a mulligan, but nada
A little switch this week to help me out and to help you out.
When you pick, put who you picked in the previous weeks with who you picked this week
Example: Week 1: Miami (FL)
Week 2: <Insert Team Here>
This will help you keep track of teams and help me out with the game.
A reminder that there are no sunday games this week, so get your picks in early, I will also send pms late Friday to people who have not picked.
EDIT: You can only pick the team in BOLD

No Starbucks budget
Have you lost your job? Has the recession hit you in some other way? If so, what are you doing to deal with it? If you're like most Americans, according to a recent Harris Interactive poll, you're doing some common sense things like foregoing your morning cup of Starbucks on the way to work.
If you're like me, you've already made some of the cuts in this Huffington Post slide show, based on the Harris Interactive poll, to improve your budget:
- Stopped buying a morning cup of coffee.
- Started packing your lunch.
- Started using refillable water bottles.
- Stopped seeing a hairdresser or stylist.
- Canceled magazine subscriptions (but not WORLD!).
- Cut back on TV cable services.
- Cut down on using dry cleaners.
- Canceled newspaper subscriptions.
- Bought more generic brands.
I've done Nos. 1, 3, 6, and 7. What about you and your family? Americans instinctively do practical things to balance family budgets. We cut expenses and do what we can to generate more revenue. I'm about to turn 50 and learned a few weeks ago that my pension was effectively cut in half-time to find ways to generate more income. Finance isn't rocket science for the average citizen, but why does it seem to be so difficult for our federal officials? Democrats and Republicans had yet another meeting yesterday to try to trim the deficit and they don't appear to be any closer to a deal.
What would happen if President Obama and Speaker Boehner were to call some of the Harris Interactive poll respondents to Washington, lock them in a room, and ask them to come up with a budget deal? Could they cut a deal easier than their elected officials? After all, they wouldn't have to worry about getting reelected. But it wouldn't be long until they ran into that nasty problem of ideology. Eventually, they would begin debating the proper role of government. They might ask things like, "Should we provide Medicare and Social Security? And why and when did we start doing those things anyway? Should we raise taxes? Should we cut tax rates?" They'd probably get around to debating these issues in light of the nation's founding documents (they're rather straightforward writings).
It wouldn't be easy for the Harris Interactive survey respondents to generate a bargain, but I think they'd do it and do it rather well. They might be up all night negotiating . . . but they'd brew their own coffee because they know they can't afford Starbucks.

MOSCOW – The head of Russia's Central Election Commission says that its officials have noticed no fraudulent activities in video recorded at polling stations during Astrakhan's March 4 mayoral election.
Opposition candidate Oleg Shein and his supporters have protested the announced victory of Mikhail Stolyarov, a member of the ruling United Russia party.
Shein and his supporters have been on hunger strike in protest for more than a month.
On April 16, Shein filed a lawsuit against the local election commission in Astrakhan, demanding the election results be annulled.
The court accepted the tapes as evidence, which Central Election Commission officials began watching on April 16.
A court in Astrakhan ruled on April 20 that hearings into Shein's lawsuit against the local election commission will be held on April 26.

Schools Chief of Staff Tisha Edwards Steps up as CEO Andres Alonso Resigns
Tisha Edwards, the Baltimore school system's chief of staff, May 6 was named interim superintendent for the 2013-2014 school year, as Schools Superintendent Andres Alonso stepped down as superintendent of the Baltimore City Public School System.
"Now you are really going to have a kick-ass superintendent," Alonso said at the well news conference to announce he was stepping down.
The departing CEO was teary-eyed at the end of a six-year term. He said he will teach at Harvard University's School of Education and take care of his aging parents in New Jersey.
Edwards, 42, said she is enthusiastic about assuming the role as interim superintendent.
"I am honored and, as my great aunt would say 'tickled pink,' to be chosen as a successor of Dr. Alonso," Edwards said. "The thing that brings me here in this moment is my love for children. And I ask that everyone that is here to join me and support me in this wonderful opportunity that we have to take reform to the next level."
Edwards' career in the school system was propelled by her appointment in 2003 as founding principal of the Baltimore Freedom Academy, a charter middle and high school on Lombard Street. The school is being closed amid budget cuts.
"Her contributions to this school were immense," said Charles Webb Jr., business manager at Baltimore Freedom Academy. "She provided an opportunity for young minds to be molded and her love of the children is just as strong today as when it started."
Edwards would not say if she wants to be the permanent superintendent.
Marietta English, president of the Baltimore Teachers Union, said while there are still many pressing issues that need to be addressed in the schools, Edwards is a good selection for the transition.
"I don't think there is anyone else who knows the system as well as she does," said English. "She understands the relationship between employee and management. She understands you have to work alongside your employees."
English applauded Edwards' work in helping to implement the new collective bargaining contract with the schools which allows teacher pay increases based on classroom performance instead of tenure.
Councilwoman Mary Pat Clarke, chair of the education committee, said she Alonso is leaving a solid team in place.
"I am very sad that he is leaving, but I can understand him wanting to take care of sick parents," said Clarke. "He leaves behind a good team that we will have until it assumes new leadership."
Edwards said her goal for the next school year is to continue to push for rebuilding crumbling school infrastructure and reworking the current teacher evaluation system.
"Our role is to continue to move the work forward that we've already started," Edwards told the AFRO. "We're not trying to reinvent. We have a really good blueprint for reform. We have a lot of work to do."
Edwards also said in the next year she will continue to push to improve the quality of instruction. She said the district will be supporting the work of Chief Academic Officer Sonia Brookins Santelises to close the achievement gap between Baltimore schools and its suburban counterparts.

Hints for a fun time picking with the kids!
Never been to a commercial farm before?
Perhaps you are a city dweller heading into the country for the day. Maybe you've moved to Connecticut after a stint at a more urban location. If you've never been apple picking before, you might be surprised.
My first time apple picking was quite an eye-opener. I guess I thought it would be a bit like a store. You go in the entrance, walk ten feet, pick a few apples, and then head to the cash register. Boy, was I wrong.
The Real Deal with Apple Picking
It turns out that working apple orchards are absolutely huge. Many farms have multiple fields. Sometimes you get to the apple orchard address in your GPS only to discover that the field you're picking in is way down the road. If you call ahead, you can usually find out better where the right field is.
Because the orchards are large, they can involve quite a walk. Wear comfortable shoes.
This is also the perfect time to dust off the stroller for that big kid who thinks they don't need it anymore. A day out in the fresh air and sunshine hunting for apples will quickly tire them out.
Best idea for toddlers and preschoolers is to bring a wagon. The wagon can hold your bag while picking. When they are too tired from walking around picking and sampling apples, they can get a ride back in the wagon. And wagons are for big kids--you won't hear any complaints.
What to do when you get there
Usually you just follow the signs and the lines of cars. Apple picking is a bit like a fair. It's really popular and they are prepared for people who are coming from far away. They want you to find them!
Once you park (I hope you got there early so parking is easier--these places are so busy in the fall that parking can be a challenge if you wait until afternoon to go), look around for buildings. This is another time when the crowds can be helpful. Follow the general flow.
How do you buy the apples
We're used to heading to the grocery store, choosing our produce, weighing it, and then paying by pound. That's not usually the case with apple orchards.
While some orchards charge by the pound, many apple orchards sell apples by the bag. Some orchards have multiple sizes, others only sell one-size. If you are bringing the family, check out the price difference between two smaller bags and one big bag.
Sometimes the price is the same and then I'll just let both of my kids have their own bags.
Since the orchard sells apples in bags, they may not allow other bags into the fields. Some are more strict than others.
Cash, Cash, Cash
It's a farm. They have fields, not wiring. Most places can only accept cash. Some may take a check.
The farm stands at the orchard (and most orchards have their own stores) may take credit cards, but better be sure before you go.
It Is Nature at Its Best--and Everything That Goes Along with It
Beautiful sunshine, breezes, the smell of apples all around. Lovely!
The apples rotting under the trees, not so much. Rotting apples are actually very slippery. Watch where you step.
Along with the rotting apples, you may find unfriendly bugs like yellow jackets trying to get a little taste. They are few and far between, but something to keep in mind.
Watch out for poison ivy. Most orchards don't have this, but I've seen some that have poison ivy at the base of the tree.
Even in September and sometimes October, the weather can still be warm
Dress in layers and bring some water.
Which Apples to Pick
Only pick from designated trees--the orchard works hard to assure you are getting apples at the peak of ripeness, so only pick from trees that are ready.
Pick apples from the tree, not the ground.
Apple Picking Notes Just for Kids
Make sure children understand that apples are not for throwing (no matter how much they look like balls).
Sometimes orchards are such homey and friendly places, along with the allure of a treasure hunt as they seek out perfect apples, that children may wander a little further than they should. Remind the kids of how far they can go safely.
Although most farms have dwarf trees, there are some that still have standard size tree that need ladders or pickers to get the apples. A quick call will make sure you know what kind of trees are at the orchard.
