Located in Zona 10, the business center of the city, it is a great alternative to overpriced luxury hotels in the same area and to cheap and noisy, similarly rated ones. The rooms were spacious, a great place to relax after doing business in the noisy, smoky, downtown streets where it seems drivers simply target pedestrians for elimination. Not a good place if you hope to get anywhere else in town for sightseeing or souvenir shopping beyond the overpriced stores of the area. Like everything else in this part of town, you pay a lot for extra services at this hotel, but they offered free parking and an airport shuttle, both very useful services. I think the internet connection was free, it was fast and password-protected, all three very hard to come by in this city. ...

I would advise you not to stay here if you can help it. Poor value and terrible atmosphere.

Boils (also known as skin abscesses) is a skin disease caused by the inflammation of hair follicles, resulting in the localized accumulation of pus and dead tissues. The symptoms of boils are red nodule, swollen lymph nodes, skin redness or inflammation, itchiness, discomfort and fatigue. Boils can cause irritation for days, or even weeks, and outbreaks may come back without warning.
Boils occur most commonly on the back, shoulders, underarms, face, thighs and buttocks, but may be found elsewhere. In some cases, boils emit an unpleasant smell, particularly when discharge is present, due to the presence of bacteria in the discharge.
Boils are difficult to deal with. Some people suffer from repeated outbreaks of boils. But, fortunately there is a natural treatment for this painful skin disease and it is BoilX. Dermatologists determined the BoilX treatment very effective. It has extremely high standards in terms of safety and effectiveness.

You all might aware of the fact that YouTube video needs flash player to run. But latest HTML5 technology killed the constraint and allows users to switch to HTML5 player and play all the videos normally. If you are not aware of HTML5, here's a nice introduction by Wikipedia.
Sometimes your browser automatically plays YouTube videos using HTML5 (if YouTube set it to default), but if it not, you can enable the experimental feature for YouTube. This experimental feature can be tested on browsers such as Chrome, Safari, Opera, IE9 beta, Firefox 4 beta etc.
Activating the player on browser is easy. Visit YouTube HTML5 Video Player and at the bottom, click on the link Join the HTML5 trial. That's it. Now play any YouTube video, it would be played via HTML5 player instead of flash.
How to check if YouTube video is playing through HTML5 or Flash
There are two methods to check it. First method is to check the progress bar. If HTML5 is written there then the video is playing through HTML5 player. If nothing written there then it is playing through the flash player.
Second method is right-click method. Right click on the video and you'll get some options. If you'll get only two options i.e. "save video as" and "about HTML5" then YouTube is using HTML5 player and if you get more than two options then flash player is performing its work.

Harriet Powers
Harriet Powers, one of the best-known southern African American quilt makers, was born a slave near Athens, Georgia on October 29, 1837. Only two of her quilts, both made after the Civil War (1861-65), survive today. One is part of the National Museum of American History collection at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The second quilt is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts.
At a young age, she married Armstead Powers and they had at least nine children. Some time after the Civil War, they became landowners. Some historians speculate she spent her early years on a plantation owned by John and Nancy Lester northeast of Athens near Danielsville in Madison County.
In 1865, records show, the family owned no land in Clarke County but claimed $300 in personal property. The Powers family alternated living between Buck Branch and Sandy Creek districts of Clarke County beginning in 1870. By the 1880s, the Powers'owned four acres of land. In the 1890s, the family's short-lived prosperity dwindled and Armstead sold off parcels of land. He eventually defaulted on taxes, and, after 1894, left Harriet and the farm. Harriet never remarried and probably supported herself as a seamstress.
Powers probably learned the art of quilt making embroidered with appliqué work from her plantation mistress or from other slaves. Slaves did fancy needlework for their owners during the daylight hours and worked to provide practical clothing and bed covers for their own families by candlelight.
Her cotton quilts consist of multiple pictorial squares depicting biblical scenes and celestial phenomena. Constructed through appliqué and piecework they were both hand and machine stitched. The quilts are noteworthy for their bold use of appliqué for storytelling and for their extensive documentation. Textile historians noted great similarities between Powers' work and the technique exhibited by the Fon people of Dahomey, West Africa. The uneven squares suggest the syncopation found in African American music.
When Harriet was 49 years old, she had finished her first quilt to exhibit at the 1886 Clarke County Cotton Fair. Her first quilt was made of 299 separate pieces of fabric, showing scenes from Bible stories and spirituals using colorful figures stitched to a watermelon-colored background. Harriet probably could not have read the Bible, but she heard the oral lessons and sang the songs, and she made the stories come alive on her quilt.
Harriet's work caught the eye of Oneida Virginia ("Jennie") Smith, then head of the art department at the Lucy Cobb Institute. She offered to buy it, but Powers refused to sell it at any price.
Four years later, her husband, because of hard times, urged her to sell the quilt. She offered the quilt to Miss Smith, but at the time Miss Smith could not purchase it. Later Miss Smith sent word that she would buy the quilt if Harriet still wanted to dispose of it. Harriet offered it for ten dollars and Miss Smith countered with five dollars. Harriet consulted with her husband and reported that he said she had better take the five dollars. Mrs. Powers regretfully turned over her precious creation, but only after explaining each of the eleven panels of the design, which Jennie Smith recorded. Briefly, the subjects are Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, a continuance of Paradise with Eve and a son, Satan amidst the seven stars, Cain killing his brother Abel, Cain goes into the land of Nod to get a wife, Jacob's dream, the baptism of Christ, the crucifixion, Judas Iscariot and the thirty pieces of silver, the Last Supper, and the Holy Family.
Knowing the Bible quilt was special Jennie Smith entered it at the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. Seeing the quilt, the faculty women at Atlanta University commissioned a second narrative quilt from Harriet Powers to be a gift in 1898 to the Reverend Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of the Union Theological Seminary and longtime chairman of the board of trustees of Atlanta University. The 15 panels of Powers' second story quilt illustrated Biblical or verifiable astronomical events.
Harriet Powers died on January 1, 1910 and is buried in the Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery in Athens, Georgia. Although she could neither read nor write, Harriet Powers left a significant record of life and events in the 19th century American south by translating oral stories and meteorological events into her quilts.

Student Success Task Force Newsletter - May 4, 2012
Former City College of San Francisco student and current California State University, Sacramento student, Victoria Conlu speaks about the Student Success Act of 2012.
The Senate Education Committee voted 9-0 on April 18 in favor of legislation by Sen. Alan Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) that would enact key portions of the Student Success Task Force recommendations. The Student Success Act of 2012 (SB 1456) would direct critical support services to students beginning their community college educational experience to increase their prospects for success. Amendments to the legislation include the removal of a unit cap for board of governors fee waiver eligibility. "While many students are getting through the door at our community colleges, many fail to get across the finish line. Fifty-four percent of all community college students fail to earn a certificate, associate degree or transfer," Lowenthal said. "... SB 1456 is an important first step in realigning our community college system to the goals of student success and achievement."
The bill would:
* Require that student success and support categorical funding be used to have students participate in a diagnostic assessment to ensure placement in the appropriate courses, receive an orientation and develop an education plan to guide them toward completion of their education program
* Require colleges to post a "student success score card" on their campus web sites as a condition for receiving student success and support funds
* Require colleges to use a system-wide online common assessment on their campuses once it is made available
* Create incentives for students to identify their educational goals, take and pass the courses needed to complete a program and make academic progress in order to continue to receive a fee waiver
Key Dates
May 7: Board of Governors will hear Student Success Task Force implementation update and consider changes to enrollment priorities
May 7: Senate Appropriations Committee takes up Student Success Act of 2012.
May 17: Consultation Council meets
In addition to approving the Student Success Act of 2012, the Senate Education Committee passed a bill by Sen. Carol Liu (D- Glendale) that would give the California Community Colleges Chancellor greater latitude in hiring his or her senior staff. The bill, SB 1062, would allow the chancellor to hire vice chancellors without going through the formal governor's appointment process and to include community college employees in the pool of candidates who can be considered for career executive assignments at the Chancellor's Office.
Enrollment Priority Draft Regulations Released
A working group that has been studying enrollment priority changes called for by the Student Success Task Force has produced proposed language that will go before the board of governors as an informational item at its May 7 meeting.
The key elements of the proposed regulation include:
* Enrollment priorities for existing student groups identified in Education Code (foster youth and former foster youth, and veterans and active duty military) and for students participating in EOPS and DSPS programs who have completed orientation, assessment, and developed student education plans are maintained in the proposed regulations
* Districts have flexibility in assigning priority to student subgroups for new students who have completed orientation, assessment, and developed student education plans and continuing students in good standing
* Continuing students would lose enrollment priority if they earned more than 100 units (not including basic skills and ESL) or if a student was on academic or progress probation for two consecutive terms

JFK gets extension
As expected Joe Kinnear has extended his NUFC contract for another month and boy is he a happy chap. Praising the club to the hilt, JFK is delighted to see that his reputation and footballing management career are getting repaired, after many failed interviews due to ongoing and unfounded concerns over his health. He said:
"I will be signing a new contract, but it will be for another month. It's a monthly situation because I know they are in talks - who with, I have no idea - but they are in talks, it is just like a rolling contract, one month after another month, and then take it from there.
During the week, there were three or four managers mentioned. Gerard Houllier - there were so many, I lost count. Sven-Goran Eriksson was in there as well. I don't know, really. There are so many consortiums. My missus rang me and said, 'There's a new one come in tonight'.
It's amazing the coverage they are getting because when I was down in London, you got a little bit about Newcastle.' I love it. It's the best thing I have ever done, it really is. I have tried on numerous occasions to get myself back in. All the interviews that I'd had, I had asked if I could just make a statement and have them to listen to what I had to say.
But it was, 'How's your heart?', 'How's your medical situation?', so really, I was written off, to be honest. This is a fantastic opportunity for me to let everybody know I am back in the business. If it's not to be at Newcastle, I understand that, if Kevin [Keegan] is on his way back. But you never know what will happen to me, if I do a good job here, where it is going to take me. I have got to make sure a do a really great job here for the short period of time I am here."

Madarsas willing to include mainstream curriculum with religious education stand to beneft from SSA scheme
Madarsas that are willing to impart mainstream education along with religious education would be brought under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme of the central government
Madarsas that are willing to impart mainstream education along with religious education would be brought under the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) scheme of the central government. When state government was confused about the status of Madarsa students in its recent survey of out-of-school children, this initiative by MHRD comes as a motivation to Madarsas. However experts still doubt complete success to the module as Madarsas may fear government control, which is may come along with grants.
Coming under the SSA will mean being eligible to receive government grants, which can be used for infrastructural development and other aspects such as teacher training. Until now Madarsas received grants under the scheme for providing quality education. It is expected that with this move, Madarsas, which are only looking at imparting religious education will change their form by adding mainstream curriculum by affiliating with available school board options.
A senior official from the MHRD, told mid-day, "While financial grants are anyway offered to Madarsas under support to minority institutions, bringing them under SSA will help overall development of Madarsa education. This is also expected to motivate many to offer mainstream education. In view of modernisation of Madarsas, this could be a good move as Madarsas are not required to completely do away with religious education."
Zaheer Kazi, President of Anjuman-i-Islam Education Trust, told Midday, "This scheme is welcoming as religious education continues at Madrasas. But it also faces similar obstacles of the modernisation of Madrasas scheme. Few Madarsa authorities have fear of losing their autonomy with government's interference. However if it is made clear that it will be an advantageous combination, which institution will not like to receive grants from government?"
He continued, "Already there are such Madrasas, which are imparting mainstream education. There are also few others from where students appear for mainstream board examination through National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS). So those willing to do it are already imparting mainstream education."
President of Maharashtra Cosmopolitan Education society, Dr. P A Inamdar, who is working towards modernisation of Madarsas expressed, "This will motivate Madarsas to offer mainstream education and to do so for appointment of teachers etc. Government grants will be much helpful. However, this has to be effectively communicated to the Madarsas authorities."
Shagufta Khan, head of Al-Falah School which already is offering state board curriculum, said, "We have to move with the world and so we already run state board curriculum along with religious education. The extended financial support by government will be very positive. But we are already running state board curriculum. How other Madarsas respond to it is more important."
Shafi Inamdar, Chairman of Ideal Education Trust, which runs several Islamic schools and Madrasas said, "It will motivate several to come forward in giving mainstream education. However it would be important to know more details of the scheme and what exactly is the government expecting from it."

If you were a programmer in the early 1980s, you wanted to learn the spiffy new C language everyone was talking about. (And implementing on PCs — I was the proud owner of Borland's Turbo C, version 1.0, which had so many quirks and wrinkles they were a study by themselves.) The book you learned from was Kernighan & Ritchie's The C Programming Language. The book, like all the greatest textbooks, was universally known just by the names of its authors, as in: "Mind if I borrow your Kernighan & Ritchie over the weekend?"
Dennis Ritchie did a great deal more than merely co-write that textbook. He actually created the C language, and was instrumental in developing the UNIX operating system. Both C and UNIX have been huge influences on subsequent developments.
Ritchie's death was announced yesterday. Nobody seems to know the precise date or circumstances. Wikipedia says October 8, for whatever that's worth. Ritchie had been ill for some time.
So we have lost two of the key figures of the Information Age within a few days of each other, and both before their time. (Ritchie was 70, which nowadays is before one's time … I hope.)

Author Nelson Algren once compared Chicago to a woman with a broken nose. This is a city with grit and toughness, where part of its beauty comes from ugliness. That makes it a poetic place for a defensive-driven football team to thrive – defense is ugly, until it wins games by itself.
That's what the Chicago Bears have this year.
It's a team with a history of dominant defenses and some of the best defensive players in the league. And even with the tradition of Bears defenses past, this one stands out.
"This is the best talent-wise, for sure," Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher said. "Anytime you've got a guy like (DE) Julius Peppers. (WLB) Lance (Briggs) is playing great. Peanut (CB Charles Tillman) is playing great. (CB) Tim (Jennings), (SS) Major (Wright), all these guys, (DT) Henry (Melton), I can go on and on, but all these guys are playing great this year. Just the explosiveness that we have on this defense, I've never been around anything like it. It's fun to be a part of it."
The Bears defense isn't just dominant, it's exciting. Chicago's defense and special teams have accounted for eight touchdowns in the Bears' first eight games. Conversely, they have allowed just nine touchdowns to opponents.
It's helped the bears to a 7-1 record, second best in the NFC to the Atlanta Falcons.
The Bears are the best in the NFL at takeaways, have caused an astounding 21 fumble and recovered 11. They've notched 17 interceptions, too. That's an average of 3.5 turnovers per game. Sunday night they'll face a 7-1 Texans team that protects the ball better than anyone in the league.
"We've been good at protecting it but they're the best at getting it out," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said. "We pay attention to it all the time. We better pay special attention to it this week. I think they've gotten two turnovers at least in each game so that's unheard of."
While turnovers can seem like a flukey way for a team to win, it's by design for the Bears, led by a pair of cornerbacks. Cornerback Tim Jennings leads the Bears with six interceptions, one returned for a touchdown, and Charles Tillman leads the Bears with seven forced fumbles (he also has two interceptions, both of which he returned for touchdowns.) Linebacker Lance Briggs has two interceptions returned for touchdowns, Urlacher has one and Wright returned one of his three for a touchdown.
"Once you see what takeaways can do to help your ball club and then you see guys doing it, you want to be a part of that," Bears coach Lovie Smith said. "Now it's just a base part of a culture around here. It's expected."
It starts with practice, when they spend hours every week practicing just that.
"If the running back runs past us and we don't strip, we get yelled at," Urlacher said. "If the ball is on the ground and we don't pick it up or if it's an incomplete pass or a fumble, it just doesn't happen. You have to pick it up and run with it. Picks, we score every time in practice. That's just our culture around here. That's what we're taught; it's what we do and what we do in games."
Turnovers can change games more than a sure tackle, though that's important, too. Turnovers can shift momentum and deflate an opponent.
Conventional wisdom might say too much of a focus on creating turnovers is a high-risk, high-reward plan, like when a defensive back gives up a big play when going for an interception rather than a tackle. But the Bears don't see it as much of a risk at all.
"It's about trying to get the ball back and you can't play prevent with all these players worried about missing a tackle or something like that," Smith said. "Without going into detail, we're just not coming up there punching the football. There is a time to punch the ball, but we're trying to secure [the tackle]. You can do both. We haven't missed a lot of tackles. We're an excellent tackling football team, but you can do both."
It would get ugly, if it wasn't so well-executed. The beauty of the Bears is in their defense.

NEW YORK - When Michael Jackson became a superstar more than three decades ago, irresistibly cute with his apple cheeks and dandelion Afro, perhaps the most startling thing about the child phenom was just how adult he appeared to be.
Though a diminutive 12 years old (his handlers said he was 10 to make him seem even more precocious), Jackson's vocal prowess and dazzling footwork truly made him seem like an old soul.
Yet as he grew older, Jackson was unwilling - or unable - to adjust to a grown-up world. Apparently scarred by the lack of a real childhood and a painful adolescence that included verbal and physical abuse at the hands of a demanding stage father, Jackson devoted much of his adulthood to recapturing the carefree atmosphere he never was able to enjoy.
Jackson always maintained that his affinity for children was non-sexual, and on Monday a jury agreed, finding that Jackson did not molest a 13-year-old former cancer patient. But Jackson still emerged from the courtroom as a broken, tragic figure with his once-brilliant career now in tatters.
Jackson's acquittal did provide some hope for his future. "He's absolutely capable (of a comeback), he has an amazing talent," Island Def Jam CEO and Chairman Antonio "L.A." Reid told The Associated Press after the verdict. "This is one of the greatest performers of our time."
Still, perhaps no other entertainer has plummeted from such stratospheric heights to the depths of notoriety like Jackson, who has been a superstar since he crooned "I Want You Back" in 1969, when he was 11.
Jackson was born in gritty Gary, Ind., surrounded by poverty and crime. With nine children, his mother, Katherine, and his father, steel worker Joe, looked for a way to keep their children off the streets. Music was a hobby at first, but Joe, a former guitarist, saw it as a way out of the ghetto.
"He was a great trainer," Jackson said of his father in "Moonwalk," but added, "We'd perform for him and he'd critique us. If you messed up, you got hit, sometimes with a belt, sometimes with a switch."
When Motown founder Berry Gordy signed the Jackson 5 to his powerhouse label, they immediately started churning out hits. But Jackson was still missing something.
"There was a park across the street from the Motown studio, and I can remember looking at those kids playing games. I'd just stare at them in wonder - I couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life - and I wish more than anything I had that kind of freedom," he wrote in "Moonwalk."
As a solo artist and with his brothers, Jackson sold millions of records by the time he reached puberty. Then he made the tricky transition to adult pop star with the stunning "Off The Wall" album in 1979. And in 1983 he became an international icon with the release of "Thriller," still the best-selling album of all time, with more than 50 million copies sold worldwide.
Given how unpopular Jackson has now become, it's hard to imagine that 20 years ago, he was not only the world's most popular entertainer, but the most beloved.
President Ronald Reagan was photographed with the world's most famous pop star. Former first lady and Doubleday book editor Jacqueline Onassis personally wooed him to write "Moonwalk." When Jackson's 1987 album "Bad" was released, with the video for the title track directed by Martin Scorsese, CBS deemed it worthy of a prime-time special. And a 1984 Time magazine cover story described Jackson as, "Undeniably sexy. Absolutely safe."
Those are the last words anyone would use to describe Michael Jackson anymore.
Yet for a long time, despite his growing "wacko" personality - his alleged plot to buy the Elephant Man's bones, or to sleep in a hyperbaric chamber so he could live to be 150, his crotch-grabbing dance moves, and reclusive personality - Jackson did seem to be an innocuous figure, an asexual persona more interested in children's games than adult relationships.
That all changed in 1993, when a 13-year-old playmate accused him of molestation. That year, Jackson had been riding high - he had diminished his weirdness factor with a sympathetic, highly rated Oprah Winfrey prime-time interview; his album "Dangerous" sold millions of copies and was still on the charts; he was on a sold-out world tour; and had gotten a legend award from the Grammys, at age 34.
But in an instant, he became an accused pedophile, an almost permanent stigma. It became even more difficult to separate him from the accusations after Jackson, despite maintaining his innocence, settled a civil lawsuit by the boy for a multimillion-dollar price tag. The boy then stopped cooperating with authorities and no charges were filed.
The episode put a dark spin on Jackson's formerly endearing penchant for all things childlike. Still, for all of his problems, Jackson's career - while diminished - was still viable.
A marriage to Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, thrust him back in the spotlight in late 1994, and in 1995, he released a double-disc set, "HIStory" containing his greatest hits and new material, much of it detailing his frustrations over the child molestation allegation. The album sold more than 2 million copies in the United States and included the No. 1 hit "You Are Not Alone," but was considered a commercial disappointment because of the stunning successes of his previous albums and the amount of money he spent to record the album and shoot videos).
Later, he would divorce Presley and marry Deborah Rowe, a nurse for his plastic surgeon. They had two children, Prince Michael and Paris, before divorcing. Rowe gave Jackson full custody, though she is now fighting for custodial rights. Jackson later had another child, nicknamed Blanket (the mother's identity never was released), whom he infamously dangled over a balcony while showing him off to fans.
In 2001, Jackson released "Invincible" on the heels of a star-studded tribute concert. The album sold 2 million copies, but any modest success was obscured when Jackson accused Tommy Mottola, then the head of Sony records, of racism.
Given the road he was on before his 2003 arrest, it's unlikely that Jackson would have ever regained the universal appeal he enjoyed in his heyday. But he was popular enough, with respect and admiration in the industry, as well as top-notch talent willing to work with him.
Now, even with his acquittal, it's unclear whether he can salvage his career in any form. For many, his guilt was already determined, despite evidence that did not prove the contrary. And given the unseemly allegations - a penchant for drinking, a trove of pornography and a dangerous pattern of letting young boys into his bedroom - the public has been left leery and weary.
Almost no one in the music industry approached by The Associated Press before the verdict wanted to comment on what his future might hold - except esteemed producer Rick Rubin.
"I think he can always have a career making music. People will always be interested in what he does," Rubin said. "Regardless of any other things going on in their lives, people are always interested by the great acts, and there's no questions he's one of the greats.
"Regardless of anything else going on, he's still Michael Jackson."

Nov 15 (Reuters) - America's pension systems for state and local government workers held $3 trillion in stocks, bonds, cash and other assets at the end of 2011, up a sharp 13.2 percent from about $2.7 trillion in 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau said on Thursday.
Last year's gains equaled nearly $352 billion, compared with a rise of $289 billion in the value of holdings during 2010.
"Most investment categories showed increases, with decreases only in federal agency securities, funds held in trust and corporate bonds," the bureau said.
Equities in 2011 rose 12.5 percent to $1.1 trillion and constituted 34.6 percent of holdings, while corporate bonds decreased 0.2 percent to $424 billion, or 14 percent of total assets.
The value of foreign and international securities held in retirement systems for teachers, police and other staff of U.S. states, cities, counties and other non-federal governments jumped 24 percent to $523 billion, the bureau said. The segment accounted for 17.3 percent of overall assets.
Government securities, such as U.S. Treasury debt, increased to $232 billion, a rise of 3.8 percent during 2011, and accounted for 8 percent of holdings in 2011.
Total revenue, which included mostly investment returns, but also contributions from governments and workers, rose 30.6 percent to $616 billion last year.
The bureau said total payments that were mostly benefits paid to retirees increased in 2011 by 8.5 percent to $232 billion from $214 billion.

Leaner Price trying to live up to hype in Montrealby Dan Rosen / NHL.com
"He's a lot leaner," Komisarek said. "That's for sure."
Well, yeah. Price lost 28 pounds during the summer, and it's showing not only in his physical stature but in his play. His teammates say he's quicker in the net, especially going side to side. He's not getting tired. He has more energy than anyone on the team.
"He looks confident," forward Tom Kostopoulos told NHL.com. "He looks quick. He looks good."
He's supposed to. His name is linked to Patrick Roy's, so he better be.
Not since Roy arrived in Montreal for the 1985-86 season have the Canadiens had a goalie so young, talented and hyped as Price.
The comparisons to the Hall of Fame goalie began in earnest last season when as a 20-year-old, Price was the starting goalie for the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs one year after backstopping his American Hockey League team to the Calder Cup.
Roy, of course, won the Calder Cup at 19, but he also won the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy at 20. Price was ousted in the second round last season and comparisons ended right there.
Twenty-eight pounds later, they're back.
Price is 8-4-1 this season with a 2.56 goals against average and .920 save percentage. He's tops among goalies in the XM/NHL All-Star Fan Balloting presented by 2K Sports on NHL.com.
"I like the way he's playing," Roy told NHL.com of Price. "He's playing very simple hockey. Everything looks easy, and I like that type of style. When a goaltender is moving well and always in the right place, he doesn't have to make the special save. The save will come on its own. He seems to be under control at all times, and I really like that."
Even Montreal coach Guy Carbonneau, a former teammate of Roy's, told NHL.com that comparisons are "always fun and you have to enjoy it because it's not everyday you have that kind of talent. You have it in (Sidney) Crosby, Sam Gagner, (Jonathan) Toews and (Patrick) Kane. We haven't had that here in Montreal for a lot of years."
So, yeah, Carbonneau is a fan, but like any coach would, he hesitates when it comes to anointing anybody as the next in line. He wants to see Price do it over the long haul, "not a month or a season.
"I don't think it's the same as when Patrick came up," Carbonneau said. "He had success right away winning the Cup, but it took him three or four years to gain that confidence and for us to gain that confidence that he'd be there every night. The same thing in Jersey. Martin (Brodeur) had success, but it still took him a few years to gain that confidence. We have to give everybody time."
If you ask his teammates, they have enough confidence in Price right now.
"He's not just relying on his talent and reflexes," Komisarek said. "He's really trying to maximize his potential and be the best possible goalie. His attitude and work ethic more than anything is unbelievable this year. He came to camp in shape. Usually the goalies are a little pudgy, but Pricey is one of the thinnest guys on the team. You see him not only eating well but working out everyday and it shows. He has a lot more energy and he's quicker. I think it will lead to a lot more great things for him."
Kostopoulos said Price's demeanor suggests he's comfortable and confident.
"I think he's different form most goalies that I have met because he is so relaxed," Kostopoulos said. "He does goofy things before games and it doesn't seem like he's got a whole lot of pressure on him. He laughs and jokes and messes around and then he goes into the game and plays great. Hey, whatever is working for him he needs to keep doing."
Last season, Price started as the backup to Cristobal Huet. He took over as the No. 1 when Habs General Manager Bob Gainey dealt Huet to Washington at the trade deadline. This season, Price is the No. 1 with Jaroslav Halak pushing him.
"He has that drive to want to be No. 1 and he has the elite ability to be the No. 1, and in that hand I think he looks a lot more comfortable than he did a year ago," Muller told NHL.com. "He's still young, but he has that drive to want to be in the elite."
Carbonneau believes Halak's presence keeps Price grounded while also keeping him rested. Price, who played 41 regular-season games last season, figures to wind up playing between 50 and 60 this season.
Roy played 47 in his rookie season and 45 the following year, with Brian Hayward pushing him for time. Roy didn't play in 50-plus regular season games until his fifth season and didn't hit the 60-game mark until he was seven seasons into his career.
"He's playing very simple hockey. Everything looks easy, and I like that type of style. When a goaltender is moving well and always in the right place, he doesn't have to make the special save. The save will come on its own. He seems to be under control at all times, and I really like that." -- Patrick Roy on Carey Price"If we only have Carey, it's almost like you have to put him in the net every game, but I think it's too early and he's too young and it would be too many games," Carbonneau said. "It's so hard now. I understand those guys want to play every night, but it's so hard physically and mentally. To have Jaro, who understands and wants to push, makes for great competition. It keeps them sharp every night."
So sharp, in fact, that Price knows never to compare himself to Roy.
Maybe one day, but not right now.
"Every franchise has some player and you hear that he's the next top D, top forward, top goalie, whatever," Muller said. "(The Canadiens) have been blessed with a lot of good goalies over the years and obviously Patty is the last one, so it's natural for them to put those comparisons on Carey. Carey is very mature and you can tell that he knows it's not even time to discuss them right now. He wants to prove himself."

MYTH 3 - PSA software is made just for MSPs
"PSA (Professional Services Automation) software is, in fact, a true value to organizations looking to impart service and process through the employee base, and provide for great customer service internal to an organization. Delivering service internally to an organization should not be considered so different from an MSP. There should be and#91;service level agreementsand#93;, expected deliverables and projects with milestones and cost justifications. Treating internal clients as customers, and proving it, shows a true professionalism that few companies take to heart . It also allows for complete business impact analysis, cost justification, course correction, and implementation feedback if done correctly with a management tool such as PSA software."
MYTH 4 - VARs need to "fire" all their customers who don't want to move to a managed service contract.
MYTH 4 - VARs need to "fire" all their customers who don't want to move to a managed service contract.
"Every customer has value and can continue to be of value to any organization. Simply 'firing' your customers during your transition is foolhardy. Customers of all shapes and sizes can bring revenue streams, either directly through continued product sales and break/fix services or through referrals and word of mouth. Never doubt the value of a current customer, managed or not, in getting your services out to further reaches. Your next big client may be from a referral, and having a client who simply wants to purchase hard goods from you, and not partake in a managed service should not be an issue. Terminating the relationship may have consequences far beyond what you expected, and that would be a black mark that would be hard to get rid of.
MYTH 5 - Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is the same as "managed services."
MYTH 5 - Remote monitoring and management (RMM) is the same as "managed services."
"RMM is definitely not synonymous with managed services. RMM can be used as a great introduction to managed services, especially for clients whom may be hesitating or unsure of what managed services may be and how to assimilate them into the operational organization. As a MSP with many legacy clients, we used RMM, even if offered free for a month or two, to show the value of how managed services can benefit an organization. Once proven, we then showed them further managed services that could have more dramatic, positive impact upon their organization. RMM is but one small subset of managed services that an MSP should offer. It is simply a foot in the door, and an eye-opener for both the client and the MSP, who will garnish invaluable details of the clients environment while performing RMM."

Trade on China and North Korea border continues despite nuclear test
A visitor uses binoculars to see North Korean territory from the unification observatory in Paju, north of Seoul, South Korea, Thursday, Jan. 7, 2016. (AP / Lee Jin-man)
The Associated Press
Published Thursday, January 7, 2016 1:56AM EST
Last Updated Thursday, January 7, 2016 2:55AM EST
DANDONG, China - Trucks rumbled across the Chinese-North Korean border Thursday in a sign that trade was continuing despite Beijing's anger over the North's avowed hydrogen bomb test, which could spark economic retaliation and further estrangement between the once-close communist allies.
There were no obvious signs of disruption in the northeastern city of Dandong that sits on the Yalu River directly across from North Korea's Sinuiju. The twin cities are the conduit through which much of North Korea's international trade passes.
China condemned Wednesday's purported test, which sent tremors across parts of northeastern China near the North Korean border and alarmed residents.
"I think it is a threat and sabotage to China and to the world peace for such a country to own nuclear weapons," Dandong resident Tian Zhibin said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday.
Analysts say Beijing will likely join other members of the UN Security Council in imposing tougher economic sanctions on its communist ally.
Beijing could also introduce unilateral measures such as tighter inspections of the trucks that cross the Yalu carrying mostly consumer goods bound for the North. China-North Korean economic projects could be suspended and Chinese companies and banks discouraged from doing business with North Korea.
Yet as North Korea's neighbour and chief backer, Beijing is unlikely to takes steps that might seriously undermine Kim Jong Un's hard-line communist regime. Apart from a traditional friendship dating back decades, China is fearful of a collapse that could bring chaos, sending refugees across the border and possibly leading to a U.S. military presence in the North.
Although willing to notch up sanctions, Beijing likely won't reduce energy and food assistance or impose overly harsh economic sanctions, said Bonnie Glaser, an expert on China at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think-tank .
"Economic relations and nuclear issues are likely to remain on two separate tracks," Glaser said.
Despite the ups and downs in relations, China continues to have a vested interest in maintaining friendly ties with Pyongyang. Apart from providing material assistance, that includes defending North Korea from condemnation at the United Nations over its human rights abuses and designating refugees from the North as economic migrants rather than asylum seekers.
For Beijing, the North Korea issue is not simply one of nuclear proliferation, but also of peninsular stability, the balance of power in Northeast Asia and its growing rivalry with the United States, said Jingdong Yuan, an Asia-Pacific security expert at Australia's University of Sydney.
"Rather to live with a bad situation than to leave it completely to chance and lose all control," Yuan said.
But even with that sense of resignation, China still needs to consider increasingly negative public opinion toward Pyongyang, analysts say.
The state-run China Daily said in an English-language commentary that, if proven, Pyongyang's actions were "irresponsible and reckless."
The nationalist tabloid Global Times emphasized the danger to social stability in northeastern China, which lies as close as 50 kilometres (30 miles) from the test site. Schools and office buildings were evacuated after residents were shaken by the magnitude 4.8 earthquake caused by the detonation. Technicians were also monitoring the air for signs of contamination.
"Pyongyang must consider the long-term negative impact on Beijing-Pyongyang ties and its own development," the Global Times said.
While China's total control over the media and public discourse allows it to squash such opinions at any time, in this case "a bit of strategic stirring by the Chinese Communist Party of limited public resentment at North Korea seems to make sense," said Adam Cathcart, a specialist in China-North Korea relations at Britain's University of Leeds.
That's especially true when the issue involves environmental damage or the threat of radiation along the border, Cathcart said.
"Call it the Fukushima effect," he said, a reference to fear and outrage in China over Japan's 2011 nuclear crisis.
Associated Press writer Christopher Bodeen in Beijing and video journalist Wong Wai-bor in Dandong, China, contributed to this report.

A family garden does more than save money
Published 6:00 pm, Thursday, March 5, 2009
One spring I planted squash at just the right time. The crop was ready to harvest when my grandsons came for a visit. During that week, they just about ate everything those two plants could produce. They loved gathering the harvest. Though the tomatoes were not ripe, they enjoyed looking for pests and watering the plants. And one summer, their visit happened to occur when the grapevine was loaded with succulent grapes. Of course, they had to fight the blue jays to bring in any of that harvest. For a family trying to save money and have fun together, I can think of few activities that are better than a home garden. My first seed catalog arrived this week. Doesn't that just make you want to get your hands in the dirt?
There are many advantages to having a family garden. The first, in light of our discussion of saving money, is that it really does save money. For the high quality, fresh-from-the-garden kind of produce you will get, the price would be much higher at a farmers' market.
Second, studies have shown that children learn to eat more vegetables when they have grown and harvested them. The amount of squash my grandsons ate that summer is a testimony to that fact.
Third, working in a garden builds character. Gardens need tending every day. Skip a day, and the weeds and pests have the upper hand. It also makes you sweat. Many today are missing the joy that comes from an hour or two in the garden: dirty, sweaty and that glorious feeling of a job well done.
Finally, it brings a family together to plan, plant, tend and harvest a garden. They have time for unhurried talk. No matter who is sharing gardening chores with me, I find at the end of the day that I have learned something about what is going on in his or her life.
Will your children occasionally complain when it is time to work in the garden? Probably. When they are adults, will they brag about how hard they had to work and about the bountiful harvests? Absolutely! Give it a try this summer. Maybe I'll see you in the garden shop.

Princeton University is located out of the big city limelight, in a small, pleasant New Jersey town about an hour's train ride from either New York City or Philadelphia. Although it might be considered one of the quieter members of the Ivy League, Princeton University holds a place in American – and even international – education and public life that is second to none.
Since its founding in 1746, Princeton has educated thousands of men and women who have made historic contributions in government, science, and the arts. Princeton graduates did much to shape the internationalist outlook of the American statesmen and diplomats who led the United States into its post-World War II era of leadership.
In the field of the sciences, it's hard to imagine what the history of the twentieth century would look like without the contributions made by Princeton University physicists, mathematicians, and economists. They include John F. Nash, the Nobel Prize-winning mathematician portrayed in the film "A Beautiful Mind." Princeton also has an important place in the arts, counting some of the past century's most influential writers among its alumni and faculty – among them Eugene O'Neill, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Toni Morrison.
Approximately 1,300 freshmen enter Princeton University each fall. They come from across the United States and around the world. Princeton students enjoy the benefits of an extremely low student-to-faculty ratio (approximately 5 to 1) and access to remarkable libraries and art collections.
Princeton University sees itself as a research university with an enduring commitment to undergraduate teaching. This mission is reflected in the senior thesis that all Princeton seniors are required to submit. These theses are original works, typically about one hundred pages long, in which students apply the knowledge and skills they have gained at Princeton to a topic of particular interest to them. Senior theses can be anything from scientific papers to works of fiction or poetry. The thesis provides students with an extraordinary opportunity to exercise their intellectual skills, and the chance to cap their undergraduate work with a written product of substance and quality that is typically expected only of graduate students. The thesis, like the Princeton University educational experience itself, is an achievement of lasting value that benefits Princeton graduates throughout their careers.

Schnucks, the third-generation, family-owned grocery/pharmacy retailer, and delivery service Instacart are expanding their partnership to bring same-day grocery delivery from the majority of Schnucks stores throughout the Midwest.
On July 13, Schnucks customers in Missouri (Cape Girardeau, Columbia and Jefferson City) and Illinois (Carbondale, Champaign, Bloomington, Normal, Pekin, Peoria, Savoy, Springfield, Urbana) can visit schnucksdelivers.com to fill their virtual carts with all their favorite items and have them delivered straight to their doorstep by Instacart, in as little as an hour.
"Schnucks is committed to giving our customers premier products and the best shopping experience," said Andrew Nadin, Chief Marketing Officer, Schnuck Markets. "Partnering with Instacart to offer Schnucks Delivers online grocery shopping and same-day delivery will allow us to further nourish our communities and provide shoppers the kind of options they expect in order to manage their busy lifestyles."
Schnucks and Instacart first joined forces to bring same-day grocery delivery to customers in February 2017 with the launch of Schnucks Delivers Powered by Instacart. Since launching in St. Louis, Missouri; Rockford, Illinois; and Evansville, Indiana; customers have embraced the service.
Based on strong initial results — including the most successful launch in Instacart's history in St. Louis, Missouri — Schnucks and Instacart are doubling down on the partnership to bring the winning combination of high-quality products from Schnucks stores and the convenience of same-day delivery to more customers across Missouri and Illinois.
"Instacart's expansion across the heartland of America, to meet the goal of serving 80 percent of American households by 2018, is driven by partnerships with the nation's best retailers like Schnucks," said Nilam Ganenthiran, Instacart's Chief Business Officer. "We are thrilled to bring same-day delivery to more Schnucks customers across the Midwest."

In the polymer literature (Handbook of Polymer Science and Technology, ed. N. P. Cheremisinoff, Marcel Dekker, New York, 1989, vol. 1, p. 307) a simple equation has been derived to estimate the lithographic sensitivity of a copolymer of known composition and molecular weight from the constituent homopolymer values. Sensitivity has often been equated with the reactivity parameter D(g)M(w) where D(g) is the gel dose and M(w) the weight-average molecular weight of the polymer. This report demonstrates that the use of the reciprocal reactivity (D(g)M(w))-1 leads to a clearer interpretation of the lithographic results and that furthermore, the conclusions drawn from earlier analyses neglect the consequences of co-operative action between differing monomer units within copolymers.

Where are all the barcelo brides?! This thread has been dead lately and I have more questions for the brides to be getting married at this resort!
Barcelo Maya Palace Brides
Posted 24 October 2014 - 06:43 PM
Posted 24 October 2014 - 07:02 PM
Only 74 more days until I am on the beach getting married. I leave in about 70 days. I'm getting so excited, I did run into a bump as far as my wedding dress, I had my alterations appointment, and realized I couldn't stand my dress...so the hunt is on hopefully I can find something quick!
I have also come to the terms that I am going to want a photographer, at first I couldn't really comprehend spending so much money especially to get them inside the resort, but in the end I think I am going to start the hunt for photography! Any ideas?..prices? Thanks!
Also, as far as welcome bags, anybody have a good idea as far as what works well? And decorations ...I really want sparklers guess I will just have to find some when I get down there...maybe a Wal-mart run..that's if they sell them
Posted 24 October 2014 - 07:05 PM
@Stephanie2015 Are you getting married at the Barcelo in Riviera Maya?
Posted 24 October 2014 - 10:26 PM
1 day til we leave!!!! Getting married Oct 29 at Barceló Tropical!!!!
I will make sure I post a detailed review! Our wedding coordinator is now Marlene as Claudia has left Barceló. I haven't had much communication with her since our travel agent is the middle woman in wedding planning for us

I am a Barceló Maya Palace bride! April 2015!
We are on Step 1 of the planning process right now. It's hard trying to pick a ceremony location without ever having been there! Does anyone have any recommendations? We really want a ceremony on the beach, and have narrowed down our choices to Playa Coral and Playa Azul. We really like the look of Playa Azul (just sand and ocean), but are worried that there will be hundreds of people standing around watching our wedding (and swimming in the ocean behind us, therefore getting into our photos!). I've seen some horrendous photos of beach ceremonies with men in speedos in the background! Also, by then, the Beach/Caribe hotels will have just recently been renovated, therefore, I anticipate that that side of the resort will be busier than it has been in the past....
Any advice from past brides (or future brides who have done site visits) would be awesome!
Posted 26 October 2014 - 09:38 AM
Congratulations!! So excited to see and hear all about your wedding experience as my daughter is getting married at the Barcelo in April 2015!
What's your daughter's wedding date? I am getting married at the Barceló in April 2015 as well
Posted 26 October 2014 - 03:22 PM
@starbx123 My wedding ceremony and reception are confirmed for the playa azul location on 5/15/15. I even changed my wedding date (only by a day), JUST to have this location. From what I have read on here, most people say it is the most private place for you to have your ceremony and reception…except for of course a banquet hall. If you want something more private, I would definitely go with playa azul! Who is your wedding coordinator?

I'd just like to chime in with Stone Cold had serious surgery on his knee in early July and is only like 3 weeks into rehab and can barely walk. So that's the reason he wasn't on or he would have been hobbling down the ramp on one leg and crutches if we were lucky. (lol)
And I agree on the Rock, the dude has gotten so BIG (muscle wise) for movies, to the point where you have to consider the dude is putting on mass at such a fast rate he might be taking something illegal. He is so big right now because he shot that Weight Lifting movie with Mark Wahlberg recently and I agree it doesnt translate as "the Rock" on WWE and more as Dwayne.
Also the RAW 1000, I had no idea it was Triple H1000, seriously, you dont need the last laugh because youre jealous of all the stars that got bigger than you that you now need to bury all the young talent with your 40 year old washed up buddies. It wouldnt kill Triple H and his old friends to put a young guy over on an important night to KEEP people watching. Instead every has been was able to squash guys that will still be on the road tomorrow that they expect fans to pay money to see. Makes no sense.
I like Sandow, you want Sandow to lose to DX fine, but 1 on 5? Can't give Sandow 4 other young jobber heels to have a 5 man tag against DX with? Just squash the guy? Really. And it doesnt even end there, I read the Smackdown spoilers for this week so it's not even like the squash is over.

The as-yet-unbuilt new thrust theater in the works for St. Paul's Park Square Theatre is filling up.
In addition to Park Square, the stage will host shows from Twin Cities theater troupes Girl Friday Productions, Sandbox Theatre and Theatre Pro Rata. The new producing partnership will start in the spring of 2015, according to a Park Square news release.
Sandbox and Theatre Pro Rata will produce one show each season and Girl Friday will produce one every other year on the new Andy Boss Thrust Stage for the next three years. Park Square will complete the Boss Stage season with five or more of its own productions and occasionally present guest artists.
The stage will be located in the basement of the Hamm Building in downtown St. Paul. Park Square will continue to operate its main stage on the ground level of the building.
Girl Friday presents large-scale Americana pieces, Theatre Pro Rata is known for revitalized classics and new works and Sandbox does original ensemble creations. Park Square will expand its variety of premieres and recent Broadway/Off-Broadway plays and musicals.
"This partnership is more than just a seasonal rental," said Park Square artistic director Richard Cook, who started his career at the theater 39 years ago. "We designed our new stage to be affordable to operate, not only for us, but for smaller companies.
"I wanted the Boss Stage to offer today's young producers what I wished for in my early days here — the chance to develop faster and more efficiently with practical peer learning instead of just working by trial and error. Working together, we believe we can ramp up each other's organizational capacity and cross-pollinate our very different audiences. My hope is that when these initial partnerships end in three years, a new group of organizations will join the partnership. In addition to Park Square's work, I want Twin Cities audiences to discover the best new companies on the Boss Stage."

I've always loved taking everyday items and making them into something interesting. Ever since I was a little crafty kid I loved devouring books that taught me how to make little dolls from clothespins, beads from rolled up magazines, and little fairy ornaments from wire and fake flower petals. The first time I saw my friend wearing a bracelet made from a fork a few years ago, I knew I had to try it (*ahem Carly ;)). I wrote up a tutorial a while back, but I've had some questions about the directions I gave so I decided to make a proper tutorial with a video! 🙂
(Please excuse my intro, if you can't hustle your website on your Youtube channel, where else are you supposed to do it? ;))
What you need:
♥ A fork. You can find the fork I used here.I think these forks are the easiest to use, and I've used a lot of different forks. 🙂
♥ Pliers, 3 pairs. 1 jewelry pair, 1 regular pair or needle nose, and an adjustable wrench.
♥ Piece of thick fabric like denim or corduroy.
♥ Strong hands. If you don't have these you might need to buy a hand exerciser. Just kidding. Ask for help! 😉
♥ If you still can't figure out how to make the bracelet, I sell fork bracelets in my Etsy store for a good price. If you want a bulk order, I can totally do that!
The other wrist.
Forks and wolves go together, right?
If anyone needs help, just leave a comment. 🙂
