The roar of the engines and the sights of smoke and dust signalled the thunderous return of Tractor Pulling to Swift Current after an over two decade absence this past weekend.
The 2014 Redhead Equipment Case IH Tractor Pulls drew large crowds for shows on July 11 and 12, with competitors from across Alberta and Saskatchewan turning out for a pair of three-hour performances.
Fans were treated to smoke filled skies and loud roars from hard working engines, along with the unexpected misfires which make the sport so entertaining. They were also brought to their feet by the sight of the fire show from Brad Bloodoff's Jet Blue, and the sheer power of Bill Cole's Big Red Express Truck.
Both days featured a wide range of pulling vehicles, spanning the decades from 50s vintage tractors to Bloodoff's helicopter turbine fitted motor.
The LT Motorsports Tractor Pulling Team from Yorkton ran four vehicles during the two day event, and team owner Larry Hilworth said the sport is starting to make a comeback on the prairies.
Hilworth remembers watching tractor pulling as a teenager, and he had an opportunity to sponsor a recent event in Yorkton which helped fuel his passion for the sport. In fact, less than a year later, he found himself as a competitor instead of a spectator.
"It's just starting to make a comeback I think. Tractor pulling disappeared for 10 or 15 years. And now it's starting to make a comeback. But it gets expensive to run. It's just like any motorsport."
In Swift Current, Hilworth overpowered his competitors in Ole Buck, a 1967 JD 5020 which formerly ran as The Mapleizer.
"That's stock rear end and everything else. And it's got a stock John Deere engine, it's been tweaked a bit. But those things were like 100 horsepower. That's a 1967 tractor. But that's putting out about 1,100 horsepower right now," he explained of the vehicle he originally bought sight unseen over the internet.
He runs with fellow Yorkton competitors, Bloodoff, Gerald Muyzka and Geno Holawatuik.
Bloodoff gets to be behind the wheel of Jet Blue, the only turbine powered tractor pulling in Western Canada.
Muyzka had his first run aboard the newly refurbished The Undertaker, and while making it's first ever pull in Swift Current the engine had an oil fire and the crew worked feverishly to have it ready to run for the second day.
Holowatuik was behind the wheel of the Ford alcohol burning tractor The Punisher for just the second time. This tractor made its way north from Pennsylvania, and boasts a pedigree where it won the 2010 Winter Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky.
Hilworth, who had three personal coaches when he was in business, admits he put his friends on hold while focussing on work. As he was preparing to retire they told him to get into something, and the group settled on tractor pulling.
"It gets us all together. We get to sit in my shop, wrench on these things, and it's comradery," Hilworth said. "It just grew. It wasn't planned, it just grew."
And while there are long hours to prepare their vehicles for the track, and a big commitment to travel for shows, they are truly passionate about putting on a good show for the fans.
"When you get on it and you have that 20 second good pull, oh what a rush! Everybody's happy tonight. When things work right you're happy."
"When it becomes a chore then we're not going to do it. While it's still fun, and you go and you break some stuff and it costs you money to fix it, but then if you win a race or two they give you a little bit of money so it kind of gives you more hope again to keep doing it."

Premature Arson
This is easily the funniest headline I've seen on our website in a long, long time:
"Arson suspected in Burning Man figure fire."
Which, of course, begs the question: How can you get busted for setting fire to something that only exists to set fire to?
Here's the rest of the story:
One person is reportedly in custody following the early igniting of the Burning Man figure this morning at the annual arts festival in Black Rock City, Nevada.
Black Rock City firefighters responded to calls from the event at 2:58 a.m. and took about 23 minutes to douse the blaze, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. The fire damaged but did not destroy the figure, which is set to be burned on the last day of the festival, on Saturday, the newspaper's Web site said.
No one was injured in the fire, and arson investigators remain on the scene, according to the site.
Calls to festival organizers were not immediately returned."
That's one of the best things I've ever read. I don't know — it just may be one of the greatest things that has ever happened. What are they going to charge the suspect with — premature arson? I'd love to see the expression on the D.A.'s face when he/she gets this case. And I'm sure the fire department LOVED hauling themselves out of bed in the middle of the night, driving out into the miserable desert, and extinguishing something that would be "arsoned" again a couple nights later.
I wish I was a Nevada taxpayer.

School Center Paredes Alenquer / Designed : 2004- Completed : 2010 / (Rating: 5,34) - (Page View: 2320)

summary info
Design intentions
The School Center has been designed to accommodate around 600 children, from the ages of three to nine. Within the school, the children are divided by the 1st cycle, kindergarten and ATL (Leisure Activities). The first floor consists of administration areas, service and a reception for parents whilst the ground floor contains a gymnasium and the majority of the school classrooms, with a direct link to the playgrounds (both covered and uncovered). School Center Paredes is composed of a white volume resting on four black volumes, thus marking the separation between floors. The majority of the project works around the creation of three patios/playgrounds and the relationship of the building with the slope of the existing ground. Contact with the outside was key to this project, with the organisation and shape of the interior space allowing all circulations to enjoy a large amount of natural light. By including a number of covered outdoor spaces, the building now provides excellent leisure facilities for children in all seasons. Several wall paintings in the playgrounds and atriums were carried out by artists invited by the designer in an attempt to enrich the interior space. One of the original wall hangings was created by Conceição Espinho and Teresa Magalhães. Built in three major areas, (water, earth and sky) it involves a female figure walking and pushing a cart with a child. This is said to symbolise travel and that she will get to know and face the world that awaits her.

WORCESTER, Mass. - The men's lacrosse game between Holy Cross and Yale originally scheduled for Saturday, February 23 at Yale's Reese Stadium in New Haven, Conn., has been rescheduled due to the inclement weather to Sunday, February 24 at 1:00 p.m.
The Crusaders are 1-0 after defeating St. John's by a score of 7-5 in the season-opener, while this will be Yale's first game of the season. In the St. John's game, Holy Cross was led by senior Toby Banta (Melrose, Mass.) who had two goals, including the game-winner, and also added one assist, while junior goalie Jimmy Harrison (East Williston, N.Y.) made 10 saves.

Enjoy a fast – paced, adrenaline pumping adventure with our Key West Island jet skiing tour. The tour consists of an adventure aboard state of the art jet skis around Key West. You'll experience flourishing islets and get to pass by a US Naval base. It's the only tour we offer where you get to control the speed of the tour. Our brand new jet skis travel up to 25 miles per hour, which will ensure a good time for anyone who likes to go fast.
You can opt to follow as closely behind or far away from your tour guide as you please. Tour guides are extremely knowledgeable and will take you to the most scenic areas of the island. The tour itself makes seven stops, but not to worry, you'll still get plenty of time to drive the jet skis around like a maniac. If you're not a fan of the jet skis you can choose to spend time hanging out around the natural sandbars surrounding the area. The sandbars are a perfect place for a romantic brunch or short picnic because you can actually sit down to eat in the shallow water.
The tour gives you two hours on the Jet Ski, so you'll have plenty of time to get your adrenaline junkie fix. Once the tour is over there are plenty of attractions around Key West to entertain yourself with. The famed Duval Street is Key West's downtown, boasting delicious eateries and luxurious shopping centers; it's a Key West attraction you don't want to miss. If you want to experience more of the aquatic world you can choose to stay in Key West and visit The Dry Tortugas and Fort Jefferson.

it's still a non issue--explain why in thread
it's a concern, but Georges is a great champ, so, whatever
it's a concern, but Diaz is a constant complainer, so, whatever
It's a concern, Georges should lose the title defense win+ 20%, and just get a "regular" win
It's a problem, Nick should get a rematch
DrMMA I guess it was dumb on my part to think those rules would of been followed when they failed on the 170# rule. Assume rule applies here.
I've been under the impression that fighters weren't given additional time in title bouts. But I could very well be wrong.
I agree on the shorts idea, if I'm not wrong. If he made it immediately, that works.
Still not sure it should be a title defense, even if he doesn't forfeit any purse.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
That fight was in Seattle, not sure if their rules are different from others because i can honestly say i dont recall many fighters coming in over weight for a championship fight.
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
Quebec Boxing Commission - Mixed Martial Arts Blog - ESPNMersch's statement on video flies in the face of Quebec combat regulations as they're written, which mandate that "at an official weigh-in, no time shall be granted to a contestant to enable him to increase or decrease his weight."
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
on the ufc web the rules are
Except with the approval of the Commission, or its executive director, the classes for mixed martial arts contests or exhibitions and the weights for each class shall be:
Flyweight 125 pounds and under
Bantamweight over 125 to 135 pounds
Featherweight over 135 to 145 pounds
Lightweight over 145 to 155 pounds
Welterweight over 155 to 170 pounds
Middleweight over 170 to 185 pounds
Light Heavyweight over 185 to 205 pounds
Heavyweight over 205 to 265 pounds
Super Heavyweight over 265 pounds
In non-championship fights, there shall be allowed a 1 pound weigh allowance. In championship fights, the participants must weigh no more than that permitted for the relevant weight division.
Link to a French speaking UG member commenting on it.
I don't know if this was posted while I was gone, but they also asked two different Athletic Commissions about how they calculate fight weight and they had some interesting responses:
According to Nevada Athletic Commission executive director Keith Kizer, officials in the state go by half-pounds so I round down to the nearest half-pound.
In Nevada, added Kizer, the scales used go up and down by .2 pounds, so 170 pounds, 170.2 pounds and 170.4 pounds would be rounded down to 170 pounds and be considered to have made weight in the welterweight division. A fighter at 170.6 pounds or 170.8 pounds would round down to 170.5 pounds and be given up to one hour to lose the necessary weight.
In the state of New Jersey, common practice includes making exact weight (or less) for championship bouts.
Nick Lembo, counsel for the New Jersey Athletic Control Board, said that his agency will allow one pound over on a contract weight, unless the promoter denies such allowance. However, the caveat is that most promoters want major title fights to be dead-on weight. Thus, 170 becomes exactly 170 or less.
In previous UFC events in the state of New Jersey, UFC officials did not request a one-pound allowance for championship bouts, added Lembo.
So it's not just a Canadian thing.

ZIP Code still a factor in auto insurance

Consumer activists countered that this was a sham and that insurers were just trying to use an arbitrary factor to push rates higher. The courts agreed.
That changed with Garamendi, who made Proposition 103 a priority. Once the regulation was finally adopted in 2006, insurers were given a two-year grace period in which to bring their rates into compliance.
Come July, motorists will likely see a rare chance to take advantage of unusually competitive rates as insurers roll out policies that genuinely reward people with good driving records.
"I urge consumers to shop around to find the best rates for their individual needs," said Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner.
He also encouraged people to report possible overcharges to his office. The number to call is (800) 927-4357.
In Victorville, Mazria wasted no time in finding a new insurer for his 1999 Toyota 4Runner. Rather than pay $510 to 21st Century, he switched to Geico, which charged him $311 for coverage -- even less than his original policy.
Greg Kalinsky, regional vice president of Geico's San Diego office, said that by making people's driving records more important than their ZIP Codes, the company immediately started attracting new customers.
"By coming into full compliance with the regulations last fall, we found that we were able to save the average Geico customer an additional $150," he said.
That's just smart business. Probably wouldn't hurt to call your insurer and see if it's one of the 200 others that isn't as bright.

It's hard to beat the warm, full tones of a tube-based amplifier. The electric guitar as we know it essentially grew up with these amps, and plenty of musicians prefer them for other instruments as well. With changeable preamp and power tubes, an amplifier gives you a great level of customization so you can tweak the voice of an electric instrument exactly the way you want it. Compared to preamp and rectifier tubes, the power tubes have a middling influence on how your amp sounds overall. In your amplifier, a power tube's role is to boost the signal's power level to a high enough point that your speakers can put out the volume you want. Being part of the signal path means that they do affect the sound, but since they're used for volume rather than tone, they have a more subtle effect than preamp tubes. So, why pay close attention to the power tubes? Simple: their effect may be subtle, but it's noticeable. The way your amplifier sounds is the result of the harmony between your preamp and power tubes. The same preamp will sound different with a change in the power tube. To put it metaphorically, think of the preamp tube as a steak and the power tube as a marinade— a steak will always taste like a steak but the marinade can definitely change the flavor. The preamp tube will always have its certain tone, but the power tube will give that tone a subtle fine-tuning. You might have to try a few different power tubes to find the variety that has the best interplay with your favorite preamp tubes. In the end, your sound will thank you for the effort. Once you know which tube works best for you, all that's left to do is stock up so you'll always have replacements ready to go.

A priceless moment at the Powersports Business event
October 1, 2009
Filed under From the Editors
For those of you who were unable to join us earlier this month at Indianapolis for the first-ever Powersports Business Conference and Expo, you missed a terrific moment in the "State of the Industry" panel that isn't mentioned in our front-page report in the coming edition.
But boy does it bear remembering.
Tucker Rocky President Steve Johnson was citing the importance of getting the young generation involved in powersports when he happened to mention one of the youth ATV models parked in his garage. That ATV just happened to be a model sold by a competitor to Suzuki, whose national sales manager, Rod Lopusnak, was sitting right next to Johnson.
Johnson, a friend and former colleague of Lopusnak's, realized what he had done, paused and then said with a grin, "I guess I shouldn't have said that."
That led to some hilarious antics where Johnson tried to make up for it by mentioning other models in his garage – including a Suzuki – and Lopusnak eventually grabbing Johnson's microphone and turning it away from him.
In a day otherwise filled with education and insights on a very difficult economy, it was a light moment worth remembering.

Zanu-PF will not allow imposition of candidates in harmonised elections expected this year, the party's national political commissar Cde Webster Shamu has said. Cde Shamu said this yesterday while speaking to the party's Goromonzi South leadership that visited him at his Borrowdale house to pay their condolences following the death of his mother Ambuya Mary Shamu last week.
Ambuya Shamu was buried on Saturday in Musengezi last week.
"We have learnt the mistakes that we have made as a party in the 2008 elections especially the imposition of candidates," he said.
He said Zanu-PF came up with a new strategy known as "Bhora Mugedhi" designed to reclaim all seats lost during the 2008 elections.
He said Zanu-PF under the visionary leadership of President Mugabe wanted people to have control over industries, mines, banks and other sectors of the economy.
"We call it beneficiation. Instead of sending our resources in their raw form to other countries we should add value to our diamonds, gold and other resources," he said.
ZRP Commissioner-General Augustine Chihuri and Mines and Mining Development Minister Obert Mpofu and their wives also paid their condolences yesterday.
Comm-General Chihuri said: "Even if you do wrong, your mother will always stand for you because they have hearts that forgive. I really feel for Cde Shamu for the loss of his mother."
Minister Mpofu shared the same sentiments.
"It is something shocking whenever you come across it and your mother is always your mother no matter her status in the society.
"Death is something that comes any time and it is so painful to lose a mother because you will never get used to it."
Sisters from the Gospel of God International also visited the Shamu family to pay their condolences.
Sister Oripah Kaviza said God should take care of the family left by Ambuya Shamu.
"We are just saying may her soul rest in eternal peace and God should look after the family she has left behind.
"As sisters we are committed to pray for peace and stability in the country. We want Zimbabwe to prosper and its people should enjoy its fruits," she said.
Meanwhile, villagers in Musengezi community have described the death of Ambuya Shamu as a great loss to them.
"She was a renowned preacher who turned the hearts of many to God and a preserver of the old time Christianity, through song. She often times travelled long distances on a bicycle spreading the gospel to others," Reverend Munetsi Hokonya of the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe where Gogo Shamu attended church said.
Her friend Mrs Stella Gwanzura said Gogo Shamu was a pacifier playing a pivotal role in the moulding of young women through her leadership of the Girls Christian Union of the Methodist Church in Zimbabwe.
"She was a mighty preacher who taught us to work hard to build our marriages despite the presence of challenges. If it were not for her I wouldn't have lived long with my husband," she said.

Talks to end Bahrain crisis begin amid mistrust
MANAMA, Bahrain After nearly two years of nonstop unrest, opposing factions in Bahrain began talks on Sunday to ease an Arab Spring conflict that has run longer than Syria's rebellion and is playing out on the doorstep of the U.S. military's main naval base in the Persian Gulf.
But mistrust runs so deep on all sides that even the prelude to the negotiations has been a study in the kingdom's divisions and suspicions, and suggests a difficult route toward any possible accords.
The country's Sunni rulers - supported by the West and other Gulf allies - seek to bring the main Shiite factions back into the political fold in hopes of starting a gradual reconciliation on the strategic island, home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
Envoys from the Shiite groups, however, remain wary of opening a process that they believe has no chance of reaching their goals: forcing the ruling monarchy to give up its monopoly on power and allow an elected government that would certainly include the majority Shiites.
Meanwhile, hard-line Shiite protesters demand nothing short of toppling the two-century-old dynasty. Such a showdown would likely prompt another round of military action from neighbors such Saudi Arabia, which sent in troops to aid Bahrain's Sunni leaders after the uprising began in February 2011.
There were no public statements as the various envoys entered a desert resort where the talks were held. It was unclear whether there will be any deadlines set for negotiations after Sunday's preliminary round.
Security forces were deployed in mainly Shiites areas in anticipation of clashes.
Washington, which has supported the efforts for negotiations, has stood by Bahrain's monarchy because of its critical military ties and worries about fallout among other Gulf Arab states. However, U.S. officials have criticized harsh measures by Bahrain, including stripping 31 Shiite activists of citizenship, and faces mounting pressures to further trim military sales to Bahrain's government.
Bahrain's Shiites account for about 70 percent of the kingdom's more than 550,000 native-born citizens. While they are the majority, they claim they face systematic discrimination and are effectively shut out of top-level government and military roles. Shiites protests for a greater political voice have flared during the past decades, but the current unrest is the longest and most threatening to the ruling system.
More than 55 people have been killed in the clashes. Some Bahrain-based rights activists place the death toll far higher. Dozens of top Shiite political leaders remain in jail, including some sentenced to life terms.
Tensions also appear to be on the rise heading toward the second anniversary of the uprising on Thursday. Early Saturday, Shiite protesters set barricades of tires ablaze and government security forces lobbed tear gas canisters at the demonstrators.
Police have set up more checkpoints on main roads and security reinforcements have been deployed around the birthplace of the rebellion, Pearl Square in the capital, Manama. The square, ringed with razor wire and concrete barriers, is watched round-the-clock.
Bahraini authorities have offered a number of concessions to try to quell the violence, including granting more oversight powers to the elected parliament. The steps, however, fall short of Shiite demands to break the current system, which allows rulers to hand-pick Cabinet members and other key posts.

The previous month, in what has become known as 'Pride's Purge', Colonel Thomas Pride had effectively implemented a military coup d'etat on behalf of the New Model Army, by forcing out of Parliament over 200 MPs who did not support its radical proposals. This left the House of Commons dominated by radical members of Independent religious sects. They responded by implementing a similar purge in the Navy and dockyards, to ensure that these institutions shared the core beliefs of the New Model Army.

The American Bar Association (ABA), founded August 21, 1878, is a voluntary bar association of lawyers and law students, which is not specific to any jurisdiction in the United States. The ABA's most important stated activities are the setting of academic standards for law schools, and the formulation of model ethical codes related to the legal profession. The ABA has 410,000 members. Its headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois.
The most important role of the ABA is its creation and maintenance of a code of ethical standards for lawyers. The Model Code of Professional Responsibility (1969) and/or the newer Model Rules of Professional Conduct (1983) have been adopted in 49 state jurisdictions and the District of Columbia. The one exception is California, which has refused to adopt either (see State Bar of California), although a few sections of the California Rules of Professional Responsibility have similarities with sections in the ABA model.
ABA accreditation is important not only because it affects the recognition of the law schools involved, but it also affects a graduate's ability to practice law in a particular state. Specifically, in most U.S. jurisdictions, graduation from an ABA-accredited law school is expressly stated as a prerequisite towards being allowed to sit for that state's bar exam, and even for existing lawyers to be admitted to the bar of another state upon motion. Even states which recognize unaccredited schools within their borders will generally not recognize such schools from other jurisdictions for purposes of bar admission.
The United States has accused the ABA of violating Section 1 of the Sherman Act in its accreditation proceedings, resulting in a consent decree in 1995.
For law students attending ABA-accredited schools, memberships are available at significantly reduced rates. Students attending unaccredited law schools are only permitted to join the ABA as associate members.
Each section will normally have a publication program that includes (1) books, usually oriented toward practitioners; (2) scholarly journals, such as Administrative Law Review (published by the ABA Section of Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice and The American University Washington College of Law) and The International Lawyer (published by the ABA Section of International Law and SMU Dedman School of Law); (3) newsletters, such as The International Law News (published by the ABA Section of International Law); (4) e-publications, such as a monthly message from the section chair, or updates on substantive law developments; and (5) committee publications, such as a committee newsletter published by one of the substantive law committees.
The ABA has a House of Delegates which acts as the organization's primary body for adopting new policies and recommendations as part of the association's official position.
In 1995 Roberta Cooper Ramo became the first woman president of the American Bar Association since its inception in 1878.
In 2001, the George W. Bush administration announced that it would cease cooperating with the ABA in advance of judicial nominations. The ABA continues to rate nominees. In 2005, the ABA gave John Roberts, George W. Bush's nomination for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a unanimous "well-qualified" rating. It also gave a unanimous "well qualified" rating to appellate court nominee Miguel Estrada, who never took his seat because his nomination was filibustered. However, it gave only a "qualified/not-qualified" rating to nominee Janice Rogers Brown. In 2006, the ABA gave a unanimous "well-qualified" rating to Judge Samuel Alito, Bush's appointee for Sandra Day O'Connor's Associate Justice position.
In July 2006, an ABA task force under then President Michael S. Greco released a report that concluded that George W. Bush's use of "signing statements" violates the Constitution. These are documents attached by the President to bills he signs, in which he states that he will enforce the new law only to the extent that he feels the law conforms to his interpretation of the Constitution.
The ABA has been criticized for perceived elitism and overrepresentation of white male corporate defense lawyers among its membership; in 1925, African-American lawyers formed the National Bar Association at a time when ABA would not allow them to be members.
However, since the 1960s, the ABA has made great strides in increasing the diversity of its membership. Its membership has grown from less than 11 percent of all American lawyers to roughly 50 percent today. In recent years, the ABA has also drawn some criticism, mainly from the conservative side of the political spectrum, for taking positions on controversial public policy topics such as abortion, capital punishment and gun control. The ABA's official position in favor of abortion rights led to the formation of a (much smaller) alternative organization for lawyers, the National Lawyers Association. The Federalist Society sponsors a twice-a-year publication called "ABA Watch" that reports on the political activities of the ABA.
There are heated debates over requirements placed on law schools by the ABA. Many states and practitioners believe ABA requirements to be unnecessary and costly. Some legal professionals and academics feel these requirements promote the rising cost of tuition. In addition, the ABA has been criticized for requiring law schools to implement affirmative action programs to retain their accreditation.

Roxanne and Shane are the type of couple whose faces should be on the cover of magazines. Seriously, how gorgeous are they??
I've known Roxy since high school and I have been dying to take pictures of her ever since I picked up a camera. Roxanne loves everything vintage and knows old movies like the back of her hand. So obviously, we wanted to draw inspiration from old Hollywood for their shoot! Roxanne and Shane embody everything that I love about old Hollywood. Style, grace, sophistication…and not to mention, stunningly good looks!
We decided to use a motel in the High Desert for our backdrop. I honestly think that moving away from the high desert made me realize the beauty of this place. I used to hate living in the desert…but now, I find myself missing everything about it! The desert is my home, and it makes me proud to revisit some of these places that I used to look at as being "ghetto" or "ugly" and find beauty in it.
Thank you Roxanne and Shane for being such great models. I loved capturing your love and I can't wait to do it again!

We've received a number of letters to Forum in recent weeks outlining the possible benefits of the new Common Core, as well as listing the likely hazards of the new education standards. We are sure more comments will be coming as Common Core is put into place.
A new talking point in the Common Core debate has surfaced, however, one that has captured the attention readers of this page several times before. USA Today reported last week the new standards could mean cursive writing will no longer be taught in public schools.
The paper noted that while Common Core standards are "silent" on cursive instruction, many public schools might decide to stop teaching it. As many as 41 states no longer require local schools to teach cursive writing.
Common Core places a priority on computer use and keyboarding skills, which makes sense because the new tests are to be taken on computers. In this age of texting, many educators say cursive writing has become as antiquated as quill pens and inkwells.
When the College Board introduced a written essay section on the SAT for the class of 2006, 15 percent of the approximately 1.5 million students who took the test wrote in cursive. The other 85 percent printed.
Still, it may be too early to write an obituary for a handwriting style that has frustrated students, teachers and parents for decades. While computers have replaced pencil and paper in terms of communication, some teachers say they are not ready to junk their cursive writing exercise books.
State lawmakers and pencil and paper suppliers are also weighing into the debate. Several bills have been introduced into the state legislatures of North Carolina, Indiana and Idaho mandating cursive instruction. USA Today reports some of those bills were supported by companies that sell writing materials.
We'd like to hear from you on this subject. Is cursive writing still a necessary skill that should be taught in public schools?

Spring Break in Portugal
Our first Spring Break since 1998 as only three travellers. We missed Jason! At least he got to spend his spring break with his grandparents.
Also our first time visiting Portugal. The air was soft and gentle, delivering enchanting spring fragrances. The food was delicious, including the traditional custard tarts, pastéis de nata (that's the pural; singular is pastel de nata). We walked our legs off touring Lisbon, then enjoyed some real downtime in the Algarve (southern coast). Here are a few photo impressions, mostly taken by my husband.

BEIJING (AP) — During China's last party congress, the cadres in charge of the world's most populous nation didn't know a hashtag from a hyperlink. But five years on, there's a new message from Beijing: The political transition will be microblogged.
At Mao-style conclave, China embraces Twitter age
Party officials have this fall embraced social media with unprecedented enthusiasm, hoping it can help guide public opinion and stir up excitement about the staid and scripted party meeting taking place this week in Beijing that kicks off a transition to a new, younger set of top leaders.
Dozens of the more than 2,000 party delegates, among them Chairman Mao's grandson, are using social media to wax rhapsodic about China's rise and Party General Secretary Hu Jintao's live 90-minute reading of highlights from this year's party work report. Typical posts include pictures of grinning delegates on Tiananmen Square and mobile snapshots of poinsettia arrangements and chandeliers from inside the Great Hall of the People, where the congress is meeting.
Guo Mingyi, a miner from the frigid northeast who was making his debut as a party delegate, posted, "On this land with great affections, how can I not sing, how can I not tear up, I love this piece of land, the people and the great Chinese Communist Party!"
State media also are posting microblog interviews with officials and shooting out updates about the congress schedule.
Twitter and Facebook have been blocked by the government since they were instrumental in anti-government protests in Iran two years ago. Instead, the government has encouraged homegrown alternatives in the apparent belief that they would be more responsive to its demands. China's main Twitter-like microblogging site Sina Weibo now has more than 300 million registered users.
But apart from being a tool to deliver Beijing's approved policy messages to the mobile phones of ordinary Chinese, the Internet has become a two-way street that's also being used by the public to poke fun at and critique the propaganda. Online commentators have compared the gushy crying and clapping of some delegates over Hu's speech to North Korean-style mass hysteria.
Responding to state media reports about how a female delegate, Li Jian, cried five times at Hu's work report, a Sina Weibo user writing under the name "Buying Soysauce" wrote: "I sobbed uncontrollably too, at the thought that these people were my compatriots."
Wang Keqin, the assistant to the editor-in-chief of Beijing's Economic Observer magazine, wrote about the tears of another delegate, He Guiqin, "It's back to North Korea overnight!"
Other critics have dredged up old headlines from 1987 about the scourge of bribe-seeking and posted them online to highlight how little party rhetoric, and party problems, have changed despite major social change over the last three decades.

Kounongou — Humanitarian agencies met on Tuesday with Sudanese refugees of camp Kounongou to discuss about topics concerning their future after some agencies left the site. Other matters touched upon included the transfer of the hospital to outside the camp and the collection of firewood.
One of the Kounongou sheikhs told Radio Dabanga that UNHCR, SINNAR and SAKADIF were the organizations meeting with other sheikhs, omdas and women.
He said the refugees stressed the current situation is not "conductive for humanitarian organizations to hand over responsibilities to them", pointing out that peace has not yet been achieved in Sudan.
In addition, the refugees announced their refusal to transfer the hospital outside the camp as this would be an extra burden to them.
Concerning firewood, the sheikh said the refugees are asking organizations to come up with "new alternatives" for them.

Nasrallah discusses the importance of the holy city of Jerusalem. (File photo/The Daily Star)
BEIRUT: Hezbollah is not commenting on a local newspaper report that claims it cracked a Beirut-based spy network last month entrusted with gathering information on the resistance party for an unnamed Western country.
When contacted by The Daily Star Monday about the same day's report in An-Nahar, Loyalty to the Resistance bloc MP Ali Fayyad said he did not have information regarding the alleged spy cell.
"I cannot comment on the issue. I don't have any information about it," Fayyad said.
The report by the local daily said the spy network comprised three men and was based in Beirut's southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold. Two of the network's members were identified as original residents of Burj al-Barajneh while the third was said to hail from a village in the Bekaa.
The paper added that the spies were not members of Hezbollah but had good relations with people in the resistance party.
In June of last year, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah boasted that the party had identified at least two spies working for the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States who had infiltrated the ranks of the party. He proceeded to dub the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon a "den of spies."
The report by An-Nahar also said the most dangerous member of the cell uncovered last month is a Lebanese who was supposedly detained for two years in Paris but during the period in question was actually working for a Western intelligence agency.
According to the report, the spy was tasked by the intelligence agency with returning to Lebanon and monitoring the movements of a Hezbollah official with whom he was friends.
The Hezbollah official, the report said, lives in Burj al-Barajneh near the residence of the alleged spy and is thought to have been involved in 1980s-era Beirut operations "that targeted the interests of big countries."
Information An-Nahar claims to have obtained indicates that the spy's ultimate mission was to lure the Hezbollah official to a place where Western intelligence agents would arrest him.
The nature of the mission delegated to the other two members of the alleged spy cell is not known, the paper said.
Nasrallah is expected to make a speech on July 18 in commemoration of the sixth anniversary of the July 2006 war between Lebanon and Israel. Sources told An-Nahar that during that speech, Nasrallah will touch on the issue of the alleged Beirut spy network.

Korn Bristol 3/4/12
So I just got back from my little trip to Bristol and see Korn and I dont even have the words to describe just how amazing that concert was.
Me and my brother got to the venue about an hour before the doors opened to when we got in we were right at the front, there was only like a row of people in front of us. We decided to settle down on the left, so we could be right in front of Fieldy.
I really cant find the words to describe what happened because it seems to just go sooo quick, I really could not believe how close we were. Right in the middle of it all, going just nuts. I remember Freak on a Leash being just amazing live, I think i didnt even like move during that song because i was in awe at its awesomeness. JD's vocals were perfect, he sounded brillant live.
All went very quick and then the time came to try and grab some picks or drum sticks. Munky come to our side through a pick right behind me, and I saw everyone like dive to the gound. Thats when my brother tapped me on the shoulder to show that he had caught it! Fieldy then came back to our side, and looked RIGHT at me, and gave the pick a little toss, and went straight into my hand. It was fangirl mode activated then, I just squealed. aha.
My first concert, and just wow, I had the best time, i already had high expectations but they went soo far beyond it. I just get the biggest smile on my face. I loved being the crowd, everyone just jumping about having a great time and i felt so apart of it.
I took a load of pictures, im a terrible photographer but i did my best. I took a picture of the picks too which i shall be framing along with the tickets as a reminder of my first ever concert. XD
Let me know if there is a problem with the link.
Wow unos wad a berree experience than mine! But that Is because you were in the crowd and I was in the stands last year when I saw them. It was awesome. Your pictures are amazing by the way! Thank you for sharing this. Wow. That is the nicest experience I have ever heard of from a band. They sound like they are down to earth people and love performing for their fans. Oh gosh this makes me wish even more that they come back to where I live and share that same experience you have had. :)

DARPA says it has developed a foam-based product that could help heal wounds on the battlefield. The product was developed by Arsenal Medical and when injected into a wound could help slow blood loss. DARPA says the new foam is designed to be administered on the battlefield by a combat medic. They also say the foam is easily removable by doctors during surgical intervention once the soldier is inside an appropriate treatment facility.

It's her position now that's right -- sorry, Bill. The Clinton campaign "belatedly explained that her flip-flop to oppose torture was an evolution inspired by talks with retired generals," the New York Daily News' Michael McAuliff reports. "Clinton (D-N.Y.) came out against all torture -- 'period' -- in Wednesday's Democratic debate after previously telling the Daily News last October it would be okay to torture a terrorist to foil 'something imminent.' Clinton's transformation on torture now aligns her perfectly with the voters she's trying to woo."
In another piece of debate fallout, former president Bill Clinton said yesterday that he "will not reveal the names of donors to the Clinton Presidential Library unless he is required to by law, rebuffing pressure from his wife's rivals for more disclosure," per ABC News. Follow this (Clintonian) answer: He's happy to release the names of his donors -- if his wife is elected, and if a law passes requiring presidents to do so -- and he only wants to name those who give in the future. "We don't believe in one set of rules for us and another set for everybody else," he said yesterday. (And we don't believe we know if Norman Hsu gave to the library.)
Peter Wallsten of the Los Angeles Times sees rocky times ahead for Sen. Clinton, if Wednesday's debate is any indication. "Clinton's rivals are moving closer to translating that innuendo into full-bore attacks on some of the more unpleasant memories of the Clinton years, with its failed healthcare plan, impeachment and frequent showdowns with the GOP," Wallsten writes. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., probably came closest to delivering the line when he referenced "the old stuff" at the debate.
Clinton, of course, has the backing of the Democratic nominee from 1992 and 1996 -- and now she's reaching back to 1972 to secure the endorsement of George McGovern, ABC's Jake Tapper reports. Says McGovern: "She and her boyfriend, Bill Clinton, took over the McGovern organization in Texas. They did a terrific job against impossible odds. I never forgot that. They worked night and day in that state." For the record, McGovern went with Wesley Clark in 2004.
See why Clinton is this week's "Buzz Maker of the Week."
The Congressional Black Caucus Foundation holds its legislative conference today, and Clinton will be the headliner, while Obama hits a smaller conference room to talk about . . . climate change? Per Bloomberg's Julianna Goldman, his choice of topics "underscores the delicate balance Obama, 46, is trying to maintain as he competes for votes with Clinton, 59, whose husband, former President Bill Clinton, was called the 'first black president' at the same event six years ago."
These MTV/MySpace forums could be fun. Edwards' was the first, and while he dressed down for the event, it quickly turned serious, per The New York Times' Julie Bosman. While Edwards "may have been expecting the playful questioning associated with MTV forums in the past (like Bill Clinton being asked about his underwear preferences), the students in the auditorium stuck stubbornly to questions on policy issues ranging from higher education to the violence in Darfur."

For Jeff Flowers, the inspiration for Storiant came from his experience at Carbonite, an online backup service for consumers where he was co-founder and CTO, and responsible for the storage of more than 130 million gigabytes (130 petabytes) of consumer data. Protecting this much data from loss meant designing a storage architecture with exceptional reliability. And because Carbonite was a consumer business with a flat-rate business model, it also meant doing so at costs lower than any in the industry.
It wasn't long before Jeff realized that if Carbonite needed a reliable, ultra-low-cost way to store data on a massive scale, others would too. So with a core engineering team of former Carbonite programmers and architects; and investors David Friend, CEO of Carbonite, and David Skok, General Partner of Matrix Partners; Jeff founded Storiant in the summer of 2012.
Today, that inspiration still drives us at Storiant. Our mission is to make it affordable enough to store an almost infinite amount of data indefinitely, making a massive "data lake" the foundation for emerging solutions like big data analytics and business continuity; and the foundation for traditional solutions like backup, regulatory compliance and data cold storage.
How do we do it? With the first storage management software modeled on the long-term storage approaches already in use at Amazon, Google, and Facebook. Built for secure private clouds. Scalable to exabytes. Accessible in seconds. And more affordable than a public cloud.
Storiant is headquartered in Boston, MA, with a team of more than 35 creative, motivated, and focused professionals.

Nosferatu: the love story
This is a guest post for Silent London by Neil Brand
In 1925, Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, won a plagiarism case against film producer Albin Grau over the latter's 1922 chiller, Nosferatu. To be frank, Grau didn't have a leg to stand on – he had applied for a licence to film Dracula, been refused by Florence and gone ahead with filming anyway, changing a few character names. This hardly distanced his film from Stoker's Dracula, whose plot he had lifted lock, stock and barrel for Nosferatu and Florence successfully sued to get his company closed down and every copy of the film destroyed. Thanks to one vital copy, lodged at the time in the US where Stoker's novel was already out of copyright, we still have the movie and every print now available descends from that one saved positive.
But I'm beginning to think that a skilful lawyer could actually have argued Florence down. Over a lifetime of playing this masterpiece I have noticed that in two vital areas scriptwriter Henrik Galeen and director FW Murnau actually created a new monster that Stoker would barely have recognised – firstly Van Helsing is a small-part character who is in no way responsible for Dracula's destruction; secondly Nosferatu, minus Dracula's brides, only has eyes for only one woman – Mina Harker. And it's beauty that kills the beast.
I'll go further – Nosferatu/Orlok is not Dracula, but director FW Murnau himself – with the result that today's vampires flitting through Twilight and The Diaries are the children, not of Stoker's night, but of Galeen and Murnau's. And the music they make is very different.
The magnificent central section of the film depicts the vampire heading towards Whitby/Wisborg on board ship, disposing of the crew one by one like some hideous onboard buffet while Harker/Hutter plods back home across the mountains. Waiting on the beach is Hutter's wife, the strange, other-worldly Mina, staring out to sea and during her sleepwalking catatonia delivering the devastating line: 'My lover is coming!'
But which lover, the Count or the Husband? Let's look at what has brought them all to this point – Orlok has seen Mina's picture and is about to gorge himself on Hutter for the second night running. Mina, staying with friends who have rescued her from a perilous walltop sleepwalk, suddenly sits up in bed with a cry – across a single shot-cut (but miles of the Carpathian Mountains) Orlok freezes in mid-bite and turns to face the direction of her 'voice' – off camera right. In Witold, she slumps. In Transylvania, he moves away, his meal untouched. The next time we see him moving he is heading away from the castle and towards Mina, bearing his coffins. From then on it is as if she is already under his power – and, I would argue, he is under hers.
It is impossible to play Orlok's arrival in Whitby/Wisborg as anything but heroic – the beautiful shot of the ship sailing itself to the dock; the scuttling figure with the coffin stopping outside Mina's house for a brief smile and his first head-and-shoulder close-up in the movie; then the final river trip, standing proudly in a supernaturally powered rowboat, which deposits him at his new property where he enters by melting through the locked doors. No wonder Herzog chose Wagner for that sequence in his Nosferatu 70 years later. Orlok is a conqueror claiming his kingdom, from which he will stare balefully at Mina's window while his rats destroy the city. And we are now, however unwillingly, rooting for him.
Murnau, by all accounts promiscuously gay and self-conscious about his appearance, obviously loved his vampire with the outsider's love of a soulmate gifted with powers he can only dream of. Every flesh-and-blood male character in the film is weak or deluded; Hutter himself can only sit feebly by while Mina takes the strong course in dealing with both infection and infector. But as she makes up her mind we see Orlok imprisoned in his palace imploring her attention with a look that can only be described as heart-breaking. When she acquiesces, he comes to the feast like Don Juan triumphant, the shadow of his bony fingers enclosing, not her neck but her heart, which he squeezes as she writhes beneath him. Herzog would provide the perfect closure for their nuptials, Orlok looking up from her throat at the dawning light, only to have her draw his head gently back to her neck with the gentlest of arm-movements.
Audiences new to the film always laugh at the opening and the speeded-up actions, but it is a wonderful tonic to hear the silence descend as Murnau and his vampire exert their power. I have never been able to play triumph at the Nosferatu's demise because we have been taught by Murnau to admire and pity him as well as fear him, and in the last thirty years Herzog, Coppola and Joss Whedon have all followed Murnau's lead. Genius that he was, Murnau made the connection half a century before the rest of us did – we know Orlok because he is us.
Every silent film is an invitation to the musician to tell their version of the story and, yes, "Nosferatu, the Love Story" is a spin, one of many that could be applied to this great film. But here's my point: treating it musically as a horrific love story opens vistas of new insight on this masterpiece that are vastly greater and more rewarding than the simple terrors of the night. And when the tension between horror, lust and desire is working, one can almost hear the new blood coursing through the vampire's veins …

What an interesting piece, Neil! Just watched it again the other day and was struck by the way Ellen seems to call Orlok to her – waiting at the seashore as her husband tramps back overland via the shortest route. Thought the heroic entry idea was interesting – otherwise you have the sense of foreboding as the ship gradually consumes the screen, in particular blocking out the silhouette of the church. Quite a few of Murnau's films seem to focus on a relationship which is threatened by an overbearing authority figure – Schloss Vogelod, Faust, Tartuffe, City Girl, Tabu – maybe it's the films which depart from this model – Nosferatu, Sunrise, The Last Laugh – which provide the greater fascination?
October 26, 2013 9:58 pm
Brilliant! Can only add to Neil's post that another aspect of this multi-layered film is that we are not just Orlok, we are also Hutter and the townspeople, at a loss in the face of vastly greater forces of desire and of horror than we are used to dealing with. As a musician I find one of the hard things in playing for the film is finding a tone of voice for these characters that doesn't diminish them.
October 27, 2013 1:51 pm
Exactly and Thank You, Neil, for this intelligent view which X-rayes what you see beyond and behind. The Murnau´s Nosferatu is much more Wagnerian and Romantic influenced: b.ex: Mina is aware of the whole tragedy from the beginning whereas her husband is just blind (naiv?) towards persons and circumstances.. doesn´t he faint escaping from the Castle, doesn´t he not listen to the folks in the country pub? He is not able to listen to his inner voice, He covers his face (and eyes) with a blanket when Nosferatu arrives. And Mina: she saves the country ( of the plague) by sacrifying herself like Senta does in Wagner´s THE FLYING DUTCHMAN….. Music which underlines the "Horror" is just Mickeymousing the "What-you-see-is-what-you-get). Awful. Music that reflects on the emotional and psychological deepness is just to begin to be apropriate. And Murnau? He´s a rogue. Shooting the story in real sites and in nature he makes us believe to see something real. BUT… see above.

One thought about those sequences which raise laughter now, particularly the speeded-up action. I doubt that audiences found these moments truly frightening even in 1922. Rather I suspect that they regarded them as uncanny, even downright odd, and with adroit music I think they can still have that effect. I've found that what works for me to is approach them as peculiar, even funny peculiar. I don't necessarily avoid playing fast music – if it's suitably angular and unhinged, any laughter seems gratifyingly uneasy.

Section 37(1) of Income-tax Act, 1961 : Expenditure on setting up new units are allowable as a revenue expenditure on ground that same are incurred for expansion of assessee's existing business
[2010] 6 taxmann.com 109 (Mad.)
Sakthi Sugars Ltd.
TAX CASE (APPEAL) No. 411 of 2004
August 10, 2010
The substantial question of law that arises for consideration in this appeal and as framed at the time of admission is as under:
"Whether on the facts and in the circumstances of the case the Income-tax Appellate Tribunal was right in holding that the expenditure on setting up new sugar units in Orissa were allowable as a revenue expenditure on the ground that the said expenditure has been incurred for the expansion of the assessee's existing business ?"
The assessment year was 1992-93. The issue centres around the expenses relating to Baramba and Dhenkanal sugar units of the respondent. The respondent is having three different lines of manufacturing activities viz., Sugar Division, Distillery Division and Foundry Division.
The Appellate Authority noted that subsequent to the filing of the original return, the assessee filed revised return and claimed further revenue expenses relating to the expansion of the sugar units. It was claimed by the respondent assessee that the Baramba Sugar unit with crushing capacity of 1250 TCD was taken over by the company on 'Management Contract' for a period of 10 years and steps were being taken to start the mill by the middle of December, 1991. As far as the Dhenkanal Sugar unit was concerned, it was claimed that the sugar factory with 2500 TCD capacity at Haripus Village, Dhenkanal District, Orissa State was planned and lands were purchased and civil construction work was in progress. It was also claimed that the machinery supply had commenced and the new sugar factory was expected to commence production during 1992-93 season.
It was not in dispute that in respect of the said two units, the respondent assessee also claimed to have obtained various incentives like subsidy etc., which were available to a new industrial undertaking.
For the above stated reasons, the Assessing Authority held that the assessee's business and installed capacity had gone up and the business was expanded in a different State and that the assessee cannot claim the expenses incurred on the installation of new factories as revenue expenditure. Accordingly, the same were treated as capital expenditure.
The assessee went on appeal before the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) in ITA No.196-C/95-96. The Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) by taking note of the nature of expenses involved viz., cane development expenses, travelling expenses, interest charges, administrative expenses, lease rents, etc. which were all in the nature of revenue expenses and also the decisions in various cases that such expenses incurred in setting up of a new units does not amount to starting of a new business but only expansion or extension of the business which was being carried on by the assessee held that they are deductible as revenue expenditure. The Commissioner of Income Income-tax (Appeals) also placed reliance upon the earlier decisions reported in 175-ITR-215 (Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Indian Telephone Industries Ltd.,), 175-ITR-216 (Commissioner of Income Income-tax Vs. Hindustan Machine Tools), 196-ITR-845 (Kesoram Industrials & Cotton Mills Ltd. case) and 109-ITR-715 (Commissioner of Income Tax Vs. Allambic Glass Mills Ltd.). The Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) further directed the Appellate Authority to verify whether the entire expenses claimed were incurred during the year and if so allow the claim in full.
The Revenue went on appeal before the Tribunal. The Tribunal also held that expenses incurred by the assessee in setting up the new sugar factories at Baramba and Dhenkanal in Orissa to an extent of Rs. 6,84,78,570/ does not amount to starting of a new business, but only expansion or extension of the business already being carried on and the expenses in connection with such expansion of business are deductible as revenue expenditure. The decisions relied upon by the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) was followed by the Tribunal also. The Tribunal also noted that the same issue was earlier decided by the Tribunal in the assessee's own case in ITA No.2020(Mds.)/1994, for the assessment year 1991-92 and ultimately upheld the assessee's claim and rejected the appeal.
Under section 37 of the Act, any expenditure not being expenditure of the nature described in sections 30 to 36 and not being in the nature of capital expenditure or personal expenses of the assessee, laid out or expended wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business or profession shall be allowed in computing the income chargeable under the head 'Profits and gains of business or profession'.
It is the case of the appellant that all the expenses relating to a sum of Rs. 6,84,78,570/ in respect of the Baramba Sugar Mill and Dhenkanal Sugar Mill were covered by the Explanation to section 37(1) or 37(2B) of the Act. In the said circumstances, we are convinced that every one of such expenditure was revenue in nature and therefore the same were allowable deduction as provided under sections 36(1)(i) & (iii) and 37(1) of the Act. We, therefore, do not find any scope to interfere with the orders of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals) or that of the Tribunal which confirmed the order of the Commissioner of Income-tax (Appeals).
In other words, applying the principles set out in the various decisions referred to above, as stated earlier, the expenses which were in a sum of Rs. 6,84,78,570 were all expenses which were incurred by way of salaries, wages, bonus, provident fund contribution, workmen welfare expenses, power, fuel and water, manufacturing expenses, rent for office building etc., were all expenses which were incurred for the purpose of running of the business and it cannot be held to be by way of investment. In fact there was no dispute that whatever investments made for Baramba Unit and Dhenkanal Unit were capitalised and were never claimed by way of revenue expenditure.

You Won't Believe What Harry Styles Asked This Bride (Watch!)
If Harry Styles asked you not to go through with your wedding and marry him instead, some heartbreaking things could happen for your current groom — depending on how big of a One Direction fan you are!
Tash Gershfield is a huge One Direction fan who received a special swoon-worthy video surprise on her June 8 wedding from the ever-charming Harry. She posted it on Instagram with the caption, "@harrystyles a video from the one and only harry which was played at my wedding!!!!!!! #harrystyles #onedirection #wedding #1D #personalvideo #love."
In the clip, Harry says, "You don't have to go through with this. It's not too late, I'm going to be waiting at Orli's in Borehamwood for the next three hours. If you don't come I'll understand but that's where I'll be."
Tash told E! of the surprise, "I'm a massive One Direction fan, and Harry is my favorite and always has been. During my husband James's speech, he told me he wanted to put me through a little test to see how much I really loved him. He then got my friend Alex to project the video of Harry up on the wall for all 250 guests to see. Of course, knowing it was a little joke, I stayed and everyone cheered."
And for those who were just as curious as I was, Orli Bakery is a UK "family owned Kosher Bakery and Delicatessen specialising in freshly baked speciality breads such as bagels, platzels, Bulka bread, and our world famous Challah."
So now we really know more about what Harry likes: bread and brides — a truly awesome combo.

This fall students will not have the college experience of spending late nights at the library writing their papers alongside the stacks of books at the John Stewart Memorial Library. This is because the library is temporarily closed and has relocated to Sarah's Coffeehouse in Lenfest Commons.
This fall students will not have the quintessential college experience of spending late nights at the library writing their papers alongside the stacks of books at the John Stewart Memorial Library. This is because the library is temporarily closed and has relocated to Sarah's Coffeehouse in Lenfest Commons.
Severe heating and cooling destroy library infrastructure
On Sat, Aug. 27, two days before the fall semester began, Mary Hendrickson, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Faculty, announced the library's closure to students in an all-campus email. The issue was defined in the email, "[S]evere heating and cooling problems in the library last spring caused widespread damage to the walls, women's bathroom and technology room, among other areas. A review of the situation over the course of the summer showed that the required repairs are so extreme, the College would be better served to explore a complete renovation as opposed to stopgap work on the heating system."
Initially, the Physical Plant planned to fix the damages, but after the library staff presented a slide show of the building's damages to the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Trustees, it was evident that the situation could not be easily resolved. In a Billboard news story from March 2011, it is noted that, "The library estimates the cost of renovation to be $100,000 to $200,000." However, an engineer must assess the damages to accurately determine the cost.
Focus groups planned for entire campus community
Wilson College will begin the renovation planning process. Kathleen Murphy, Library Director, says, "Focus groups are planned. In fact, getting input from students, faculty and staff was the president's first goal where plans for the library building were concerned. We are starting with a brown bag event for faculty and staff on "The Future of Academic Libraries", Fri, Sept. 23 at 4:30pm in Sarah's. We would be happy to do a similar presentation for students if they would like."
During this transitional period, the library has implemented several changes facilitating student's needs. Students can still check out books from the library's collection, but must do so via the Wilson College Library Webpage. There is a 24-hour waiting period for books during weekdays. Timmura Morton '13 is a work-study student at the library. Morton says, "The move has not been a burden for me because I do not work the hours where I have to carry books from the old library to Sarah's, but I wonder about other people who do. So far I have not heard complaints about people not being able to get their books in a timely fashion, so I suspect that the temporary system is working. I have heard complaints from clubs, but I believe they can have meetings in other areas. We should all compromise a little because the library is a necessary part of the campus. And as far as how it may look to visitors who come and see the library closed, it's temporary; enough said."
Addition of e-brary
The library also introduced an e-book collection called "ebrary." E-books are the electronic versions of printed books. They have a search function enabled within them for retrieving the specific information readers need. E-books can be accessed 24 hours a day by students with an Internet connection.
According to an all-campus email from Andrew Frank, e-books are available with "more than 70,000 multidisciplinary titles," of which the "[m]ajority of titles [were] published in 2000 or later." These include "books from publishers like Cambridge University Press, Harvard University Press, Brookings Institute, BIOS Scientific Publishing, Oxford University Press and MIT Press."
With the relocation to Sarah's Coffeehouse, a 24-hour technology lab is available in the Women's Studies Lounge. As described in the Wilson College website, "The main purpose of the electronic classroom is library instruction. When not being used for instruction, the classroom is open to students as a computer lab. The classroom is equipped with personal computers and wireless laptop computers, a Smart Board connected to both a PC and a DVD/VHS player, and a document camera."
Although the relocation poses a burden to students wishing to utilize the library as they have prior to the move, the library staff continues to extend their services. Murphy says, "I would like students to remember that each one of you can/does have a personal librarian. Call us, send us an email, ask us for help with a research project, and we will be there for you - that has not changed."
Many other college libraries offer an increasing amount of technological resources, more than Wilson initially provided. Technology will continue to change and the definition of a library is changing. Wilson thought creatively about developing their services and took into account user needs and preferences as well as the relationship of services to the academic programs. Budget challenges will continue, but the renovation provides an opportunity for a renewal in library services and the library will improve as a result.

"When I found the old popcorn maker stashed away in a back closet of our FOB (Forward Operating Base), I couldn't imagine it would ever work. After some parts and TLC, I got it running again. The next step was figuring out how to get the troops working for me some popcorn to eat! I called several companies, tried Amazon, etc. Nobody was able to ship a large bag of popcorn, salt, and oil to an APO address. Then I tried Nationwide Candy, and Jason was immediately able to put together my order and get it shipped out to me. Nationwide Candy and Jason have no idea how happy they have made my 200 troops to have a little taste of home out here in Afghanistan. It's the little things from back home that keep us going, and Nationwide Candy had a big part in that. THANK YOU!"by Mitchell H. on 10/16/2014

A lot of us do a lot of leg work to develop our lower body muscles, but completely forget about the calves (or neglect them for fear they'll get bulky). Calf Raises develop flexibility and strength in the ankle joint and calf.
Calf raises are a method of exercising the gastrocnemius, tibialis posterior and soleus muscles of the lower leg. The movement performed is plantar flexion, aka ankle extension.
Calf raises will also help with blood circulation which is especially helpful during pregnancy. Restless legs syndrome, poor circulation and cramp in the calf muscles are all quite common in pregnancy, due to high levels of hormones running around your system. These hormones affect blood flow, and it's common for the blood to pool in your lower extremities eg your calves and feet.
Calf raises can help ease these symptoms, if you are suffering, as what they'll do is aid what's called "venous return", which simply means returning blood from your legs, back up to your heart.
