OCEAN CITY – When slots were approved in Maryland last month, some residents vocally feared that Ocean City was going to turn into Atlantic City.
Some might cringe at any comparison of Ocean City and Atlantic City, but doing so could shine some light on how to proceed with current issues facing the town, and surprisingly enough, it has nothing to do with gambling.
Although the towns differ in size, target markets and generally draw visitors to their resort for different reasons, it is undeniable the two towns share some similarities other than both geographically manning real estate on the eastern seaboard.
Largely misconstrued as a "good block, bad block" destination or one simply for gambling or nightlife, Atlantic City has quietly been transforming its image, trying to shift the focus away from the casinos and more to what the town has to offer in way of tourism.
Jeff Vasser, president of the Atlantic City Convention and Visitor's Authority, said that people who haven't visited New Jersey's number one tourist destination in five years wouldn't recognize Atlantic City.
"I realized that people had been walking around with a 10-20-year-old misconception of our town, and we thought it was time to do something about that. I had heard what perceptions were of Atlantic City about it being dirty or just a place to gamble, so we decided to try a different and edgier approach at promoting the town," he said.
What resulted was full on public relations blitz that attempted to show Atlantic City in a whole new light, most notably a change in the town's ad slogan from "America's Favorite Playground" to "Always Turned On."
"We've added 42 new restaurants in the last few years, we started the process to green our town long before it was popular to do so, and we have been fully committed to adding new things each year to stay on the top of people's minds," said Vasser.
Ocean City tried the "More Fun Here" approach several years ago and though it was widely scrutinized, the campaign, created by the town's advertising agency MGH, helped triple the amount of traffic that was coming to the town's website and was deemed successful as far as helping to sell Ocean City as a destination.
Websites have proven not only valuable but also essential in order to draw visitors to tourist destinations as Ocean City Council controversially approved MGH's plan for $178,000 and the need for a revised site has caused Mayor Rick Meehan to call the website "the infrastructure of advertising the town."
Vasser said that Atlantic City recently underwent a $300,000 upgrade to its website, which boasts many of the database driven aspects and aesthetic components that are included in MGH's proposal, and hinted that the investment is already proving to be a wise one.
"There's no way to tell exactly how much of our 10-percent increase is because of the website, or the convention center, or entertainment," said Vasser "but it has certainly helped, and we are seeing a tremendous amount of traffic all while conveying our new image of the town."
In the 2008 AC Convention Center and Visitor Authority's Annual Visitor Report, the website was cited as helping to generate over $400,000 in economic impact in just the month of July alone, which was almost double what it was credited with the year prior in economic impact.
Vasser said that Atlantic City not only wanted to "improve the curb appeal" by establishing a cleaner image but also wanted to make a statement as being ahead of the curve for alternative energies.
As a result, the Atlantic City Convention Center is set to unveil the largest single roof array of solar panels anywhere in the country, a feat that Vasser says will not only save AC millions of dollars in utilities, but is a great selling point to consumers.
More than 13,000 solar panels will cover two-thirds of the convention center roof, producing enough solar energy over the course of their 20-year life expectancy to save the town a projected $4.4 million, and prevent 2,349 tons of carbon dioxide from being released into the atmosphere, which is the equivalent of taking almost 400 cars off the road, or saving 15 acres from deforestation. Vasser said that the town already boasts a large wind turbine when you enter the Atlantic City limits and more like it are bound to pop-up both on and off shore as an energy alternative.
Ocean City has been entertaining ideas for usage of wind turbines with the Planning and Zoning Commission recently approving conditional and accessory usage of either roof mounted or free-standing wind turbines in Ocean City and there have been more talks concerning the creation of an off-shore wind farm off the Ocean City coast. In addition, the Park Place Hotel is installing 36 solar thermal panels and expects to see about a quarter of a million dollar savings over 20 years.
Yet the most notable comparison or category that Ocean City may want to look to Atlantic City for guidance is the usage of the convention center.
Vasser said the need for a technologically-savvy convention center is "absolutely vital" in not only drawing major shows but also keeping these shows coming back.
"These big shows expect free Wifi and wireless capabilities all over the center. You need to be on the cutting edge to remain competitive. It's the little things that bring conventions back," he said.
If the proposed $5 million upgrade to the Roland E. Powell Convention Center is approved, Ocean City will get not only technological improvements but also energy efficient upgrades to the electric and water heating components of the building.
In phase one, the most scrutinized part of the upgrade is a 1,700-fixed seat auditorium that will be used as a performing arts center.
Vasser said that Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall, a 12,000-seat, state-funded arena, has grown to the largest mid-level arena in the world and helped bring some of the biggest names in music and theatre to AC, but also brings in tons of visitors who wouldn't come to town if it were not for the show.
"Entertainment venues can really provide a shot in the arm for tourism, said Vasser. "If you can bring new people in that haven't been to the area and give them something new and fun to do with entertainment, then the word starts to spread."

This week, the first set of Creative Employment Programme trainees will start their positions in cultural organizations across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex. The traineeships, offered exclusively to young people not in education, employment or training aged between 16-19, offer participants their first chance to work in the arts.
Paul Surridge, 16, from Clacton is about to start his traineeship with the Colchester Institute. Paul left school last year with no qualifications and is hoping this traineeship will be the start of a career in sound and lighting.
'I want to be a technician as I have always enjoyed watching light shows and seeing how lights connect with the music,' he says. 'I feel very excited that I have the next ten weeks to find out all I want to know about sound and lights from the technicians supervising us.'
As well as gaining experience, the trainees will work towards Level 1 qualifications, including a Bronze Arts Award. They will also spend at least 12 days working in cultural organizations and will visit the High House Production Park - the location of the Royal Opera House scenic workshop - and attend a performance at Covent Garden.
At the end of their placement trainees will have support with the next stage of their career, whether progressing to a college course to start a Level 2 qualification or looking for suitable employment opportunities.
The Creative Employment Programme aims to create 1,600 traineeship opportunities across England by March 2015. To help reach this goal, ROH Bridge will create 100 traineeships across Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and North Kent over the next year.
Find out more about creative traineeships.
Royal Opera House Bridge is a three-year, publicly funded Arts Council England project that helps to connect children and young people with great art and culture.

Politics & Government
Californians hold improving view of state, but partisan gulf widens
As California emerges from a recession and years of state budget deficits, the electorate is growing cheerier about life in the Golden State.
But the chasm between Democrats and Republicans has widened, according to a new Field Poll, and the view from the right is not so bright.
While 53 percent of Democrats say California is one of the best places to live, just 29 percent of Republicans rate the state so favorably, according to the poll. The gulf between Republicans and Democrats is more than 10 percentage points wider than two years ago.
Positivity also varies widely from the state's coastal areas to its more conservative, inland reaches. Forty-seven percent of voters living in coastal counties say California is one of the best places to live; only 34 percent of inland county residents share that view.
The differences suggest not only the unevenness of the economic recovery in California, but also the difficulty of belonging to the political minority in a state where Democrats control the Legislature and every statewide office.
"The hyper-partisanship that is now characterizing our politics both at the national level and here in California is affecting how voters view the state," poll director Mark DiCamillo said. "This movement toward this very Democratic state is now viewed negatively by Republicans and conservatives, and it's affecting their outlook on the whole state."
Overall, 43 percent of registered voters say California is one of the best places to live, while 26 percent call it nice but not outstanding, according to the poll. Twenty-one percent of registered voters say the state is average, and 8 percent say it is a poor place to live.
The assessment is more positive than in 2011, when 39 percent of registered voters called the state one of the best places to live, but still lower than just before the recession. In 2007, half of California voters ranked the state among the best.
The state's improving outlook is largely a product of public opinion in the heavily populated San Francisco and Los Angeles areas. People are nowhere happier than in the San Francisco Bay Area, where 54 percent of voters say California is one of the best places to live, according to the poll. In the Central Valley, the proportion of voters who feel so content is more than 20 percentage points lower, at 33 percent.
"The quality of our life has gone down," said James Petty, a 74-year-old Republican from Visalia. "Every time you turn around the wackos there in Sacramento – since the Democrats are the majority – whatever they want, they just pass through."
Petty, a retired grocery store clerk, is upset about the state's immigration policies, welfare and what he considers to be a proliferation of marijuana. He said he would leave the state if his grandchildren didn't live here.
"I still like California," Petty said. "I just don't like the way they're running it."
In a series of questions about life in California, a majority of voters – 55 percent – say the quality of life in this state is better than in most other states, while 18 percent say it is worse and 22 percent say it is no different, according to the poll.
A plurality of voters – 38 percent – say job opportunities in California are similar to job opportunities in other states, according to the poll. Yet the gulf between the Central Valley and coastal California is evident in this economic indicator, too. In inland California, where the unemployment rate in many counties remains above 10 percent, 37 percent of registered voters say job opportunities are worse than in other states, compared to 30 percent who feel this way statewide.
David Ramczyk, who owns an agricultural products and consulting business in Modesto, said unemployment and the shortcomings of public education have contributed to increased drug use and crime in his community.
"As far as I'm concerned, your entire society is in kind of a state of devolution," the 66-year-old said. "I think that we don't have the same standards, the same values or anything."
For Republicans like Petty and Ramczyk, "there's very little they can do," DiCamillo said, in a state where their party's voter registration has fallen below 30 percent.
"Their political view has very little sway in the way the state is governed, and it becomes a negative when they're assessing the state as a place to live," he said. "They're frustrated, and they downgrade the state accordingly."
Younger and older voters are more likely to view the state more favorably than the middle-aged, according to the poll. Fifty-one percent of voters 65 and older and 46 percent of voters under 40 say California is one of the best places to live, dropping to 37 percent for voters ages 40 to 64.
The only question on which there is broad, bipartisan agreement concerns the cost of living, which 92 percent of voters agree is higher in California than in other states.
That may not bother them, however.
"If something's going to be so great, of course it's going to cost more," said Mark Jennett, a 19-year-old independent voter from Sacramento.
Jennett, a student at Cosumnes River College, lauded state policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the friendliness of customers at his place of employment, GNC.
"Everything about California just seems nice," he said.
Despite their improving view of California over two years ago, Californians hold the state in nowhere near as high regard as they once did. From the late 1960s through the mid-1980s, 70 percent or more of Californians rated the state as one of the best places to live.

Another alleged copper theft ends in a suspect's death
A man reportedly trying to steal copper wire has died, the second such death in the Houston area in two weeks.
The man, whose name has not been released, was being treated at a hospital for burns covering more than half of his body. His death was reported to the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences around 1 p.m. Thursday, a spokeswoman said.
CenterPoint Energy is warning thieves about possible electrocution and urging the public to be aware of the dangers of electrical wire theft.
"The risk of death or serious injury the thieves expose themselves to in cutting wire from a substation is mind-boggling," John Kellum, CenterPoint's division vice president of high voltage power delivery, said in a news release. "Whether it is that of a vandal, one of our employees or an unsuspecting child wandering into a substation left unsecured by thieves, these events could quickly turn into tragedies."
The power company also reported an increase in break-ins at CenterPoint electrical facilities and estimated that every $100 in copper wire scored by thieves can cost up to $5,000 to repair.
Company officials asked the public to report open substation gates, hanging wires or suspicious people near electrical facilities. Call 911 if someone is entering a substation or is trying to cut wires near power lines. Contact CenterPoint at 877-232-4911 to report information about unlawful activities.
The badly burned man was discovered around 10:30 p.m. Monday near a bus stop on Elgin and Travis. According to authorities, he was apparently injured while cutting through power cables in an abandoned Midtown building.
Houston Fire Department investigators determined that someone had cut through power cables, causing an electrical fire. Authorities found a charred hacksaw and partially burned ladder.
Another man was found dead on Oct. 24 at a CenterPoint Energy substation in Montgomery County.
A power company worker discovered the body of 37-year-old Harold Gene Schneider along with several tools. A substation fence had been cut and copper wire was missing. Investigators believe at least one other person was involved.

Thanks for the tips – this is very helpful!
The flash of unstyled text is probably my biggest gripe with font-face, apart from the actual weight payload required.
I knew base64 encoding in the CSS was possible, but I didn't like that option as the fonts end up being very large, like you said. The font optimization makes sense, assuming you don't change the text often. If you do need to change the text, you will have to add more characters and reoptimize the font, which I could imagine could be a bit of a pain.

- "It was a very odd watch. It had twelve hands but no numbers; instead, little planets were moving around the edge."
- —Description[src]
This pocket watch was owned by Albus Dumbledore. It was made of gold, had twelve hands, and rather than numbers, planets moved around the edge of its face. Despite this, it apparently could still be used to tell time, as Dumbledore was able to deduce that Rubeus Hagrid was running late in his delivery of Harry Potter to 4 Privet Drive in 1981 by consulting this watch.[1] In 1996, after the conclusion of the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, Dumbledore consulted this watch to see how much of his time he could afford to spend with Cornelius Fudge to discuss the events of said battle.[2]

Historical Context
Table ofContents
This lesson is based on the National Register of Historic Places registration file, "Jefferson National Expansion Memorial National Historic Site" (with photographs), and other materials from the park. It was written by Diane James Weber, former education specialist, Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. TwHP is sponsored, in part, by the Cultural Resources Training Initiative and Parks as Classrooms programs of the National Park Service. This lesson is one in a series that brings the important stories of historic places into the classrooms across the country.
Where it fits into the curriculum
The lesson could be used in teaching units on America's 19th-century westward expansion, sectional conflict leading to the Civil War, or a variety of civics issues. Students will study the role the Old Courthouse in St. Louis played in national events of the 19th century.
Time Period: Mid-19th Century
Relevant United States History Standards for Grades 5-12
Relevant Curriculum Standards for Social Studies
Find your state's social studies and history standards for grades Pre-K-12
Objectives for students
1) To explain why St. Louis was founded on the Mississippi River and the important role the city and its courthouse played in the westward expansion movement.
2) To identify and discuss issues significant to 19th-century railroad expansion to the western region of the nation.
3) To explain how a legal verdict -- the Dred Scott Decision -- can affect national policy.
4) To identify and describe a historic structure in their own community that has been rehabilitated and reused.
Materials for students
The readings and maps listed below either can be used directly on the computer or can be printed out, photocopied and distributed to students. The photographs appear twice: in a low-resolution version with associated questions and alone in a high-resolution, full-page version.
1) three maps of the St. Louis area and 19th-century railroad construction;
2) two readings about important events that took place at the Old Courthouse;
3) a script for a mock trial adapted from court transcripts of the Dred Scott case; and
4) two photos of the Old Courthouse and its surroundings.
Visiting the Park
The Old Courthouse and the 630-foot-high Gateway Arch together make up the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. This national park was established in 1935 to memorialize the role of Thomas Jefferson and others responsible for the nation's territorial expansion to the Pacific and of the countless pioneers who explored and settled the great American West. The park is located in downtown St. Louis along the banks of the Mississippi River, and is accessible by way of Interstates 70 and 64. It is open year-round. For more information, visit the park web pages.

State treasurer Ken Miller appointed OC Board Chair Don Millican to the Board of Directors of the Oklahoma Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust.
"I am pleased to appoint Don to this important board," Miller said in a news release. "With his history of philanthropic work in the Tulsa area, I know Don will help the board in fulfilling its mission."
Millican is Chief Financial Officer at Kaiser-Francis Oil Company in Tulsa. He serves on the boards of Tulsa Educare, Inc., which provides early education for at-risk children, and Neighbor for Neighbor, which operates a free health clinic in North Tulsa.
He has chaired OC's Board of Trustees since 2001. He and his wife Donna established an endowment at Oklahoma Christian that supports an annual ethics symposium at the university.
He previously served on the board of the Community Action Project of Tulsa County, which works to break the cycle of poverty through early childhood education.
Millican will serve a seven-year term, expiring in July 2019. The constitution requires the composition of the board of directors be balanced by political party and by congressional district. Millican is a Republican and resident of the First Congressional District.
"I look forward to serving the state in the effort to reduce tobacco consumption and to improve the overall health of our citizens," Millican said.
Created by constitutional amendment in 2000, the seven-member board of directors is responsible for directing the earnings from the endowment trust to fund programs to improve the health and well-being of all Oklahomans.
Management of the fund is overseen by a board of investors chaired by Miller, who also is an associate professor of business at Oklahoma Christian.
Since inception, almost $118 million in earnings have been certified for use by the board of directors. More than $36 million in earnings were certified last year. The fund has a balance of more than $710 million.

Make Rose Petal Beads
Roses are the most commonly purchased flower in the world. Rose petals are incredibly important in the perfume industry and rose hips (the fruit) are an excellent source of vitamin C. But whoever thought that you could make beads out of rose petals? Not only can it be done, but the beads smell wonderful! Crushing the rose petals releases the essence of the sweet scent that we all identify with roses.
What You Need:
- Fresh rose petals—about 5 cups
- Water
- Rose essential oil—you may want to substitute rose fragrance oil, available at craft stores
- Metal spoon or spatula
- Blender
- Toothpicks
- Wax paper
- Baking sheet
- Rubber gloves
What You Do:
- Collect 5 cups of the most fragrant rose petals from a garden or from a florist. Discard wilted or brown petals.
- Add ¼ cup of water and 2 cups of petals to a blender and place the lid on securely. Chop the mixture until you end up with a fine paste. Put the paste into a bowl.
- Blend the remaining petals with 2 tablespoons of water per cup of flowers. If it is too watery, blot it with paper towels. Add the mixture to the bowl.
- With gloves on, place a drop of rose oil on your fingers and roll a small amount of paste into your palm to form a bead the size of a marble. Stick a toothpick through the bead and leave it in place.
- Place the beads on a baking sheet Covered with wax paper And let it harden for a few days. Remove the toothpick and then let it sit for 2 more days.
- Your beads should be dry now and ready to string!
Did you know?
- It takes about 2,000 flowers to produce 1 gram of rose essential oil.
- Rose oil is made mostly in Bulgaria today, but historically it was predominantly made in Persia, Arabia and India.
- The petals hold small capsules of oil that are released When crushed. Then they are steam-distilled.
- Rose essential oil is one of the most expensive essential oils because of the number of flowers required to produce it.

Jenn and Victor are known for their love of wanderlust. So it seemed only natural that their wedding theme would be "around the world". They carefully displayed art and objects collected from various countries and used a map for their seating chart. Be sure to take note of the map it is quite a piece of art itself. They also incorporated Jenn's Chinese heritage and Vic's Mexican heritage throughout their cocktail hour, making it truly personal.
Enjoy more of this travel theme wedding at The Smog Shoppe photographed by Sweet Monday Photography in the full gallery.
Each guests was given a paper flower before they sat down for the wedding ceremony. After Jenn and Victor became husband and wife guests were asked to toss the flowers. Such a fun and idea.
For their reception, they had amazing BBQ to pay homage to Victor's Texas roots as well as their mutual love of the BBQ. We love how they infused both of their heritages into their wedding favors. Saying thank you in both their languages on the favor tags is super cute.

However, it seems the 26-year-old has moved on and found new love with musician Matthew Koma, who made it clear he was Jepsen's boyfriend backstage at the Summer MixTape Festival in Hershey, Pa., on Aug. 18.
A source tells UsMagazine.com, "Carly broke up with Jordi in June because her schedule got crazy."
She and Koma were reportedly introduced by LMFAO star Redfoo.
Meanwhile, Jepsen's summer smash prompted a flashmob at the Arthur Ashe Kids' Day festival in New York over the weekend.
As she performed at the 17th annual pre-U.S. Open bash, famous faces like The Wanted, Owl City, Matthew Morrison and Olympic swimming star Missy Franklin joined her on the court.
She tells Entertainment Tonight, "It was kind of like a crazy zoo. They had jugglers, a marching band, my band, The Wanted, Owl City and they all came and we had a flashmob."

Man arrested for possession in Orange
One man was arrested after police reported he was found with crack cocaine Monday night in Orange. According to the report, the man tried to tell police the rock-like substance was sheetrock.
At approximately 8:36 p.m. on March 18, Officer Jeffrey Busby was patrolling the 500 block of North St. in Orange and observed a bicyclist riding on the roadway in the 400 block of North St. without using a mandatory headlight, according to the police report. Busby stopped the man and reportedly saw that the man was breathing heavily and shaking. When the officer told the man why he was stopped, the man showed him a small flashlight he was carrying. Busby reported the flashlight was not on at the time of the stop.
Upon the officer's request, the man identified himself as 54-year-old Dale Scarber of Orange. Busby reported that when asked if he had any weapons or illegal narcotics, Scarber produced a knife and told the officer that was all he had on his person. When Busby patted him down, he found a small rock-like substance in his front left pocket, the report stated. Busby reported that when he asked the man what the item was, Scarber replied that he believed the substance was sheetrock, which the officer indicated is a common attempt at misdirection used by crack users who are trying to disguise the narcotic. As Scarber handed the off-white rock-like substance to the officer, Busby reported the man crushed the substance between his fingers. Busby collected the powdered remains and tested the substance, finding it was positive for cocaine.
Scarber was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and taken to the Orange County Jail.

Using Grep
Global Regular Expression Print is the rather un-catchy full name of grep, the staple of any Linux users toolkit. It is a search tool run from the command line that is evolved directly from Unix, and is so useful it deserved a post of its own.
Grep doesn't search characters, it searches patterns. This means it is a very powerful and configurable tool. You can search specifics, duplicates and use wildcards. The format is
grep [option] pattern [file]
Or more understandably
grep [what to search for] [in these files]
Here is a very basic outline of how to use grep.
Create a file called 'Ferrari1.txt' then type 'Ferrari F430. Sweet wheels'.
Save the file and create another called 'Ferrari2.txt' and enter the text 'Ferrari 360 Maranello. Nice'.
Save that and create another file called 'Ferrari3.txt' and type 'Ferrari F50 Close but no cigar' and save the file. Obviously I'm just messing around here, you can put whatever you want in the files, but the scheme needs to be the same.
To try grep we need to type the following command:
grep Ferrari ferrari*.txt
grep looks for the word "Ferrari" in any text file that is called "ferrari(something).txt". You've created three files that start with Ferrari, so the asterisk makes sure that grep will look for the word 'Ferrari' in all three.
You should see something like this:
Ferrari1.txt Ferrari F430. sweet wheels
Ferrari 2.txt Ferrari 360 Maranello. Nice and sweet
Ferrari3.txt Ferrari F50 sweet but no cigar
The word 'Ferrari' is in all of those files, so you will see this output.
If you type 'grep sweet Ferrari*.txt' you would get the same output because the word "sweet" is also in each of those files. But if you type the word 'cigar',
you would see this output:
Ferrari3.txt Ferrari F50 sweet but no cigar
because the word "cigar" is only in Ferrari3.txt.
Typing 'grep wheels Ferrari*.txt' will get us the same kind of result, only that Ferrari1.txt will show up instead of Ferrari3.txt.
To move a step along a bit you can add '–i' to your command to ignore case sensitivity in the search.
Grep –i wheels Ferrari*.txt
This would display anything with either wheels, or Wheels in the text.
How about a recursive search? Say you wanted to find every instance of the word 'button' in your /etc directory.
grep –ri 'button' /etc
This command would the display every instance of the word button in your /etc directory. You may have noticed the quotes around button. This tells grep that button is part of the query and not the search destination.
More wildly, what about if you wanted to search for a filename that had a number, but didn't know what the number was? For example a version number of a particular file you needed.
ls ¦ grep '[[:digit:]]'
This uses something called a regular expression which will search for any filename that contains a number, wherever it may be.
That is a very basic illustration of grep. A very powerful and time saving tool that you should come to love the longer you spend with it.

Blyth, Inc. announced that is has sold certain assets associated with its North American mass channel home fragrance business, Blyth HomeScents International - North America (BHI), to MVP, Inc., a designer, manufacturer, and marketer of private label candles and home fragrance products to mass retailers.
"BHI is a leader in mass market home fragrance products, maintaining a strong relationship with Wal-Mart as the 'category advisor' for its candles and with a leading position in potpourri, as well as a solid relationship with other major food, drug and mass retailers across the country," said Robert B. Goergen, chairman of the board and CEO, Blyth. "A strong management team has made significant progress restructuring BHI in recent years, rationalizing product line sizes and reducing overhead expenses.
Blyth's Memphis, Tennessee distribution facility and Bentonville, Arkansas operations are included in the sale. Blyth will retain all other offices, facilities, assets and employees associated with its wholesale candle manufacturing and distribution. The Company continues to manufacture and market Colonial Candles through its Midwest business.
"Our mass retailer candle business was the original base from which we built our leadership in home fragrance. Nevertheless, with our current and future focus on the direct-to-consumer and premium wholesale channels, as well as the Sterno business, BHI has become less of a strategic fit for Blyth going forward," said Goergen.
Management will update its full year, fiscal 2008 guidance to reflect the BHI divestiture in its first quarter earnings announcement, which is expected to be released on May 31, 2007.
Blyth did not disclose the sale price in its initial release.

I know I'm not the only one out there to get suckered in by a GWP promotion – the selection of premium sized products all bundled together in a gorgeous little make-up bag makes whatever purchase you are umm-ing and ahh-ing over that little bit easier to justify…
This selection is available from House of Fraser and worth £88 with two or more purchases (one to be skincare or foundation) and is only available until 16th Feb. To take a closer look at the contents then read more below.
This is basically the basics you need, an exfoliating cleanser, day wear cream, Advanced Night Repair for eye (seriously cannot wait to give this a go) and the all time essential Advanced Night Repair.
Make-up wise there's a cute little neutrals palette which is going into my daily handbag. Four little neutrals, two cooler toned and two warmer that's perfect for a bit of day to day make-up.
Make-up wise, there's a mini Sumptuous Extreme mascara and a lipstick in the shade 'Cystal Baby' – a tough to describe neutral. Part nude, part peachy, part brown-ish toned and creamy. Very pretty and can see how it will suit many skin tones.
All in all – not bad for a freebie with purchase!
Available in House of Fraser with two purchases (one to be skincare or foundation) until 16th Feb.

Feel the Thunder with these random thoughts for a Tuesday:
Feel the Thunder with these random thoughts for a Tuesday:
� The Thunder trails Reading 2-0 in the ECHL Kelly Cup Finals. If ever there was a "must-win" for Stockton - coaches and players hate that term - it's tonight at Stockton Arena.
� The Thunder hopes to be the 14th team in the ECHL's 25-year history to win a best-of-seven series after dropping the first two games, and the fourth to do it in the finals. The most recent team that did it in the finals was Peoria in 2000.
� The Warriors' playoff run ended last week against the Spurs in the Western Conference semifinals. Golden State has a bright future, but two of their core players - guard Stephen Curry and center Andrew Bogut - have to come back healthy next season and remain healthy, which given their injury histories is a tenuous hope.
� The Sacramento Kings are not dead. Long live the Kings.
� Software tycoon Vivek Ranadive, 55, who led a group that purchased the Kings and will keep them in Sacramento, was born in Mumbai and told ET Magazine, "This is a great moment for a man who came to the U.S. in 1975 with less than $50 in his pocket."
� The remains of Alabama's 2011 BCS trophy - literally a pile of glass in a glass bowl - fetched $105,000 at a recent auction. The crystal football trophy shattered when Tide coach Nick Saban gave it the death stare. Actually, Carlton Tinker, whose son used to be Alabama's long snapper, accidentally knocked the trophy off its pedestal not long after the Tide beat LSU in the 2011 BCS championship game. Just to be safe, Saban sleeps with 'Bama's 2012 BCS trophy.
� Stockton's Cheryl Freitas' college softball career ended when San Jose State, coached by Stockton native Pete Turner, dropped 5-2 decisions to Arizona State and San Diego State last week at the NCAA Tempe Regional. The Spartans won Western Athletic Conference regular-season and postseason-tournament titles for the first time and hadn't appeared in the NCAA regionals since 1992.
� Katie Cotta will lead No. 1 Concordia (Irvine) at the NAIA Softball National Championship this week in Columbus, Ga. The former Brookside Christian, Linden and Delta pitcher has thrown an NAIA-record 11 career no-hitters for the Eagles and is 23-2 with 298 strikeouts in 150 innings with an ERA of 0.14 this season.
� The Raiders reportedly will meet with free-agent defensive back Charles Woodson today. Woodson started his NFL career in Oakland and joined the Green Bay Packers in 2005. Raiders fans have waged on online campaign to show Woodson some love by welcoming him en masse at team headquarters. Woodson already has visited Denver and reportedly has received an offer from the Broncos.

Baseball analyst Tim McCarver said Wednesday he will retire from his position at Fox after this season.
NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball analyst Tim McCarver said Wednesday he will retire from his position at Fox after this season.
"I wanted to step down while I know I can still do the job and proud of the job I've done," he said during a conference call.
The 71-year-old said he had been thinking about moving on for a couple of years. Fox executives visited him at his home in Florida this winter to discuss extending his contract, which expired after the 2013 season, and McCarver already had made up his mind.
The former All-Star catcher has worked 28 consecutive Major League Baseball postseasons on network television dating to 1984, providing analysis for a record 23 World Series.
In 21 big league seasons, McCarver hit .271 with 97 homers and 645 RBIs. He won the World Series in 1964 and 1967 with the St. Louis Cardinals.
McCarver got his start in broadcasting in 1980 with the Philadelphia Phillies and NBC's game of the week. He has also called local games for the New York Mets and Yankees and the San Francisco Giants.
McCarver later worked for ABC and CBS before joining Fox in 1996.
Last year, he was honored by baseball's Hall of Fame with the Ford C. Frick Award for major contributions to baseball broadcasting.

By Brent Budowsky
September 13, 2006
Editor's Note: In this guest essay, political analyst Brent Budowsky
warns that the upcoming congressional elections will be a referendum
that will either commit the United States to fight "World War III" or
will reassert a two-party system that could put the brakes on this new
rush to war. Budowsky says the key will be an emergency investment in
honest media that can explain the consequences to the American people.
[Reprinted with minor adaptations from
For the first time in the history of our Republic, the coming
election in November is nothing less than a national referendum, in
which the American people will be voting whether to pursue, or prevent,
the next dark and unalterable road to tragic and unwise war.
For the first time in the history of our Republic, a Congressional
election is nothing less than a national referendum on whether America
will, or will not, be governed as a vibrant two-party nation, with three
effective branches of government, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers.
We are up against mighty forces of power from a media machine that
has been built for 30 years while our side has given close to zero. Not
only the unprecedented apparatus of partisan Government media power. Not
only supplicant television so extreme that even a publicly traded
network, using publicly owned airwaves, promotes a propaganda film weeks
before a historic election.
According to various reports, one conservative financier alone,
Richard Mellon Scaife, has given over a billion dollars worth of support
to the right-wing media machine. As much as we dislike his methods, Mr.
Scaife has every right to exercise his freedoms for his cause. Give a
billion bucks, and we have a one-party progressive government. Give a
paltry $25 million, targeted to our media infrastructure, and we end
today's one-party state in a few short weeks.
This is crystal clear: the President and his Administration have a
war-fever mentality that is unprecedented in American history.
It is true: they are using the fear argument of World War III to seek
to win yet another election.
But this is more true, and more dangerous: the President and the
Vice-President believe it, and will do it. Along with Karl Rove their
ambition is so vast that it is nothing less than a Manifest Destiny for
the Republican Party, and their vision of centralized statist power,
concentrating total power in the hands of one faction, of one party,
ruled by one person.
Far too much attention is being given to the tactics, polemics,
strategies and maneuverings of the election, and far too little
attention to the enormous and potentially catastrophic stakes for
America and the world, if we lose it.
One of the most ominous and alarming statistics in the history of the
American Democracy is that close to half our people actually believe
that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11. This is ghoulish proof of the
power of the lie to overwhelm the truth. Stunning proof of the power of
the right-wing media machine and the total failure of every form of the
media to inform the public. And Exhibit A of the urgency of
fast-forwarding the power of our side to communicate our message of fact
and truth.
If the Republicans maintain control of both houses of Congress, there
will be more winds of war, more distortions of intelligence, more
creations of fear, more push for new war, and either pre-emptive
military attack in advance of the inevitable approval of the Republican
Congress, or a force-fed resolution for war, given inevitable approval
by the Republican Congress.
In Vietnam, the war decision was made regardless of the election, by
the Congress. In Iraq, the war decision was made before the election, by
the Congress. For the next war, the decision will be made before the
election, by the VOTERS.
Here is how the Republicans play the game, and do not believe those
who claim that Karl Rove's influence has declined in Washington. That
happens to be the organized Republican spin, as part of a distancing
strategy until November, repeated by those who know zero about how
Washington under Bush works.
Karl Rove is the second most powerful man in Washington and will
remain so, until the President leaves office. Period. End of discussion.
Anyone who says otherwise, whether they are spinning Republicans, naive
Democrats, or journalistic courtiers, is either deceptive or ignorant.
Understand: Karl Rove is the single most brilliant political
strategist and operative of our generation, from either party, by far. I
have seen him operate in Texas and nationally for well over a decade,
and we should view him as a mortal political adversary with a vision of
permanent one-party domination and a willingness to do ANYTHING to
achieve it. But do not underestimate his brilliance or power.
What Rove is whispering in Republican ears today, is this: distance
from the President as much as necessary before the election, so long as
you are with him, after the election. Before the election they will
wiggle, waddle, and waffle their way distancing from Bush. As sure as
the sun rises in the East: the day after the election, they are right
back on the team.
We want a check and balance against unwise war. They will again
plunge the dagger in the heart of Congressional oversight, and blow with
the winds of war as Members of the team.
As sure as the sun rises in the East, if the Republicans continue
one-party control in Washington there will be leaks of frightening and
scary information dutifully reported by the networks, hyped by the
talkies on cable, fueled by partisan releases from Intelligence
Committees, pumped by the right-wing media machine, and supported by the
Chris Shays Republicans.
In this scenario: there will be zero oversight from Congress. Zero
exercise of congressional war powers or spending authority. Zero honest
investigation of abuses. And all-out war for a Supreme Court majority
that will leave America with only one branch of government, controlled
by one political party, dominated by one extreme faction, ruled by the
President and Vice-President.
Therefore: the moral, legal, and effective Gulf of Tonkin Resolution
and Iraq War Resolution, will not be voted on by the next Congress, but
by the voters who will choose the next Congress, and make the result
inevitable, one way or the other, from the moment the votes are counted.
Therefore, the rally cry: it is time to move beyond our grievances to
a new era of empowerment and to an unprecedented mobilization of
progressives, moderates, independents to fight for and win a true
revitalization of democracy in America, and a true revival of a
two-party system, with three branches of government.
Make no mistake about the importance of the Disney fight. They won a
minor victory, reminding the nation of Monica Lewinsky and repeating
their attack points through a propaganda enterprise from a television
network. It is profoundly dangerous, radical and ominous that a major
network could so aggressively corrupt a moment as profound as the
five-year commemoration of 9/11, with a propaganda film that used
falsehoods to promote the attack talking points of a partisan party,
literally quoting oppo research papers, at times verbatim.
But we won a far larger and far more profound victory. We won the
battle of ideas on this matter. Scholastic moved to our column. Disney
and the Right were on the defensive. The docu-propaganda was
discredited. We created an ad hoc media and information power
structure that beat their power structure, in our Lexington and Concord.
The colonists joined the fight. The Redcoats were in retreat. The way
we win was shown with crystal clarity. The hyper-power for the Loyal
Opposition, that speaks for the majority of America, is the unity and
integration of radio and the grassroots, the combined force of Air
America joined with our blogosphere, super-empowered by a justifiably
outraged and energized President Clinton.
The Republican and conservative media, message and information power
structure is decades ahead of ours, built, financed and promoted by a
far more committed corps of billionaires and millionaires than anything
on our side.
The super-wealthy of the Republican Right fight harder and invest
with far more aggression and vision than anything from their Democratic
and progressive counterparts.
What happened in the Disney fight was truly extraordinary and I
predict historic. What began as a grassroots protest began to spread;
virtually every Air America host joined the fight in full force,
blasting away 24/7 and giving voice to those of us (myself included)
issuing the rally cry. Bill Clinton then weighed in with the full force
and power of a former President speaking the truth, with more moral
authority than the incumbent partisan President.
Every force on our side was acting in unison; committed, forceful,
aggressive, clear, and convincing with a full blast media and message
machine that rose ad hoc, and beat them at their own game, on our
It was spectacular.
The election that will determine war and peace, and the heart and
soul of American democracy, is fast approaching.
An unprecedented barrage of attacks and smears, financed by the
forces of the one-party state and their Armada of media power, is on the
brink of being launched.
The stakes are enormous and indescribable. The way to win is now
clear. The mission is now certain. The strategy is right before us,
proven by our ad hoc army of media and communication that won the
battle of ideas in the discredited docu-smear by Disney.
What I urge, propose, implore and call for is an urgent summit of the
financial leaders of the Democratic and progressive community, supported
by President Clinton, President Carter, and Vice-President Gore to
finance an emergency infusion of $25 million into Air America, the
progressive blogoshere, and African-American, Hispanic and Labor groups
to combine a massive communications assault with a massive voting power
assault for the closing weeks of this historic campaign.
I come from the JFK, Kenny O'Donnell school of politics and we are in
the fight of our lives and it is time fight hard, and fight to win.
It is time to be deadly serious and understand the full magnitude of
the coming assault that will soon be launched against us, and the
ominous and deadly consequences if they prevail again.
It is time to do what the financiers for the one-party state have
been doing for 30 years.
It is time to put real money, real muscle and real power behind the
fight for real democracy and the real America.
It is time to man the barricades, with a sense of urgency and
passion, with an immediacy and power equal to the magnitude of the
forces we are up against, the unprecedented attack that is hours from
beginning, and the extreme consequences of two more years of one-party
It is time to cut the cards, cut the crap, cut through the niceties,
and play to win.
To the wealthiest 500 Democrats in the land: we the people of the
United States are issuing a rally cry for you to join us, and any one of
you has the power, by standing with us, to change the course of history.
Their machine is 30 years in the making, with countless billions
behind them. Ours is new, almost unsupported by the money on our side
but armed for battle, empowered by our numbers, driven by our
convictions, suited up for combat, strengthened by our idealism, lifted
by our passion, and ready to win.
Join us, and the Armada of one-party rule will be defeated by the
real voices, of the real America.

your students into groups and ask each group to choose one
of the following presentations:
Divide the class into groups. Give each group a different
short script. Ask them to prepare a Reader's Theater presentation
of their script, limiting their acting to verbal interpretation
and brief hand gestures. (See the Appendix in the Support Materials.)
Teacher as a Reflective Practitioner
Many administrators and parents undervalue integrating the
arts in the literature curriculum. Brainstorm a list of reasons
for such attitudes. Then list the arguments you might use
if called upon to justify the inclusion of activities such
as art, drama, or music in your classroom. How might you convince
such critics that these activities are not frivolous add-ons,
but rather useful tools for extending student thinking about
literary texts?

So, winter was cancelled in the Champlain Valley. It's too bad, but it's time to stop whining and go sledding. Winter is still scheduled on top of Vermont's four highest mountains. Where the coverage isn't great for skiing, sledding is a great alternative. Plus, it's only a semi-skilled sport, and all it requires is a piece of plastic tarp. In the right conditions, you can sled in just your snowpants.

Unhappy with the fact that the Texas GOP decided to alienate the vast majority of voters with extreme anti-gay rhetoric, I contacted the Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas, and ultimately helped write the following press release.
CONTACT: Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas
(512) 656-8011
AUSTIN, TX – At the state Republican convention earlier this month, Texas Republicans opted to abandon the Republican tradition of respecting the Constitution and protecting individual liberty and privacy rights by adopting a platform which includes planks attacking the civil liberties of certain Texans.
The platform advocates policies which would make it a felony to perform a same-sex marriage in Texas, which would re-criminalize sodomy and which would take away the rights of gay parents in custody cases. These proposals are contrary to the values of most Texans and run counter to the Republican tradition of vigorously defending individual liberty.
The Republican Liberty Caucus strongly opposes the Texas GOP platform's anti-gay and anti-liberty planks. We call for the state party to take action to address this problem. While it may not be possible to repeal or change the party platform, the state leadership should issue a clear statement that the platform is non-binding and does not represent the core, shared beliefs of Texas Republicans or of our candidates.
In a year in which we are looking forward to extraordinary opportunities for a great slate of Republican candidates in Texas, it would be a terrible mistake to shackle them to a platform which will alienate many potential supporters. This platform will weaken the party at a time when a strong coalition of Republicans and independents is needed to stop the radical agenda of Democrats in both Austin and Washington.
"We need to focus on keeping the government out of our pocketbooks; especially in Texas," said Texas RLC Chairman, Joey Dauben of Ellis County. "There are far more pressing problems for the GOP in our state to worry about. While I personally disagree with same-sex marriage from a Biblical perspective, marriage is a contract between individuals and God, not with the government. If we want government out of our wallets and our boardrooms, we should also keep government out of our churches and our bedrooms."
The Republican Liberty Caucus believes that cutting government spending is more important than wasting our limited resources on policies that open Texas to lawsuits and treat some citizens in a different manner than other citizens. Texas RLC members believe divisive social issues should be put on the back burner and instead the focus should be on solving real problems.
We call on the state party to send a clear message to voters that the this platform does not represent the highest ideals of our party, and that as a party we support individual liberty and equal rights for all Texans.
The Republican Liberty Caucus of Texas advocates constitutionally limited government, individual liberty and traditional Republican values. It is part of a nationwide organization which shares those goals and has local organizations in almost every state. This year the RLC has endorsed hundreds of candidates nationwide, including Rand Paul (KY), John Dennis (CA), Peter Schiff (CT), Mike Lee (UT), and Nikki Haley (SC).

WND Columnist Alleges Sandy Hook Shooting Was Staged
Blog ››› ››› BEN DIMIERO
In an outlandish column for WorldNetDaily, Bradlee Dean suggests that the mass shooting last week in Newtown, Connecticut, was staged in order to aid the passage of the UN Arms Trade Treaty and gun control legislation, comparing the administration's purported actions to that of the Nazis setting the Reichstag Fire.
Though WorldNetDaily often publishes conspiratorial stories like Dean's column -- the site was the driving force behind the birther movement -- it's still regularly validated by more mainstream conservatives. Last month, the site announced that they had hired former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum as a columnist.
Dean, an "ordained preacher, heavy metal drummer, [and] talk-show host of Sons of Liberty Radio," suggests in his December 21 column that the "timing is impeccable" for both the theater shooting in Aurora and the shooting in Newtown because they happened while the UN was deliberating over the Arms Trade Treaty:
The Sandy Hook shooting occurred just days after Sen. Rand Paul sent out an alert that the U.N. was set to pass the final version of the Small Arms Treaty, supported by Obama the day after election.
Part of the treaty bans the trade, sale and ownership of all semi-automatic weapons ... like the one Adam Lanza used to kill 20 children and 6 adults.
The "Batman shooting" in Aurora, Colo., also happened to coincide with the same time as negotiations of the U.N. Small Arms Treaty.
The timing is impeccable.
Aside from its conspiratorial nature, Dean's column is also plainly inaccurate. Contrary to his suggestion that the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty would ban "the trade, sale, and ownership of all semi-automatic weapons" like the one used by Newtown shooter Adam Lanza, it does nothing of the sort. The Arms Trade Treaty is an effort to regulate the international arms trade and overtly affirms the "sovereign right" of countries to regulate the domestic ownership of firearms "pursuant to its own legal or constitutional system."
As we have previously explained, the Department of State has stated that it will oppose any treaty that contains "restrictions on civilian possession or trade of firearms otherwise permitted by law or protected by the U.S. Constitution."
Dean also provides links to several "reports" alleging inconsistencies in eyewitness accounts of several recent mass shootings in our country. He concludes that "[e]yewitnesses in all of these massacres said there were more shooters than the media maintain, indicating the shootings were coordinated and planned."
Among the sources for these "reports" are Alex Jones' InfoWars website, a forum posting at a separate Alex Jones affiliated site, and a site called "Conscious Life News." Reliable sources, all. (For a sample of the type of conspiracy-mongering Jones' websites have been engaged in this week, a few days ago they published an article proposing that the presence of the phrase "Sandy Hook" on a map in the latest Batman movie is "bizarre evidence" that the shooting "may have been staged.")
According to Dean, Obama's call for "meaningful action" and the push from others for new gun violence prevention legislation in the wake of Sandy Hook is akin to Adolf Hitler "attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war":
When the "fire" is started, these government gun banners are right there to strip away your rights in an attempt to gain control under the guise of "putting out the fire."
Adolf Hitler was responsible for attacking his own Reichstag to start a world war. Hitler was also responsible for sending his brownshirts to incite the people so he could play the role of solving their problems. No one believed Hitler was guilty of these crimes until after the fact.
Then it was too late.
Today, these gun banners are doing the opposite of what our forefathers fought, bled and died to give us.
Dean's column also includes a video suggesting that the Oklahoma City bombing and the Columbine shooting (among others) were similarly staged.

The Antonine nymphaeum, a 9 m high and 28 m long monumental fountain, was constructed at the Upper Agora between 161-180 AD, with the purpose of bringing social and aesthetic aspects to the political centre of the ancient city. The nymphaeum was built of 7 different kinds of stones, where the water used to fall from 4.5 m high cascade in the middle, filling a basin of 81 cubic metres. In addition to the two original Dionysos statues standing at both sides, new statues coming from other buildings were also added to the fountain afterwards. Finally, the building was collapsed completely by a severe earthquake around 650. The fact that most of the building elements still exist in a very well preserved condition, and the podium of the building still in-situ, makes it possible to restore and re-erect the monument by using anastylosis technique.
The aim of the project is to restore and re-erect the monument as much as possible and to give the original function as a fountain back, by the use of still existing spring water. Furthermore, small-scale restorations will be performed around the building & Upper Agora, in order to integrate the monument with its environment.
The restoration of the Antonine Nymphaeum has started in 1998, after the restoration project was approved by Antalya K?ºlt?ºr ve Tabiat Varlƒ±klarƒ±nƒ± Koruma Kurulu (31.07.1998 / no. 3919).
The restoration project consists of four phases;
1. joining all the broken fragments to compose structurally sound blocks and understanding the actual position of the blocks in the building
2. completing the missing parts in the building by re-making of new stone patches and stone blocks and trial of all the blocks in their actual places until the building is completely re-erected
3. dismantling the whole building and the final re-erection process by employing structural connections between the blocks, designed to improve the earthquake sustainability of the monument
4. re-arrangements to be done around the monument for the revival of its fountain function and small-scale restorations to be done at the Upper Agora.

I was very pleased to see Bryan Caplan's review this morning on Econlog. He really gets to the heart of Marty Gilens's new book AFFLUENCE AND INFLUENCE: Economic Inequality and Political Power in America. From the review:
"In The Myth of the Rational Voter, I discuss several mechanisms that might explain why, given public opinion, democracies' policies are better than you'd expect. But I was simply unaware of the facts presented in Martin Gilens' new Affluence and Influence: Economic Inequality and Political Power in America. Gilens compiles a massive data set of public opinion surveys and subsequent policy outcomes, and reaches a shocking conclusion: Democracy has a strong tendency to simply supply the policies favored by the rich. When the poor, the middle class, and the rich disagree, American democracy largely ignores the poor and the middle class…."
As Caplan mentions later in the review, Gilens's findings are going to be misinterpreted by the left and the right. He also found in AFFLUENCE AND INFLUENCE, to many liberals dismay, "American democracy largely ignores the poor and the middle class" for the better!
