In Weare, a troubled police department
June 09. 2013 11:57PM
WEARE — This town's police department has seen its share of controversy over the last 15 years. Residents and town officials are hoping its troubles will soon be behind them.
"We have issues. There's no denying that," said Selectman Thomas Clow, chairman of the board. "But we have a core of fine young officers and now our job as a town is to build on that core and to find a chief who can provide leadership for these officers."
Police Chief Gregory Begin served his last day with the department last week, opting to retire before the last year of his three-year elected term.
Clow said Begin's decision to retire early was a personal one, and not a reflection of the fact that his second-in-command, Lt. James Carney, is on paid administrative leave. Carney is facing numerous allegations, including having an inappropriate relationship with a department employee, not enforcing the sexual harassment policy, transporting alcohol in a police vehicle, and having physical altercations with police officers and civilians, according to Carney's attorney, Tony Soltani, also a former Weare prosecutor.
Soltani said the sergeant is a victim of retaliation from the town because he is a whistleblower. He said Carney raised concerns about incidents of sexual harassment, abuse of authority by officers, the falsification of reports and perjury by other officers; none of the incidents were investigated because the selectmen barred Begin from doing so, Soltani said.
Since Begin's departure, the board has brought in former Keene police chief Art Walker to oversee the administrative functions of the department while a search for a new chief can be conducted.
A troubled tenure
Though Begin was re-elected twice, his tenure has not been without controversy. There are numerous state and federal lawsuits pending against the Weare Police Department.
Carla Gericke, Bill Alleman and George Hodgdon, all represented by a Concord law firm, are suing in federal court after being arrested for wiretapping after taping police traffic stops. The three cases allege state and federal constitutional violations, including unlawful search and seizure and violating freedom of speech and press rights, according to reports, and are still pending.
A lawsuit was also filed by Louis Chatel, a former sergeant for the Weare Police Department. Among several allegations, Chatel said Begin and Carney deliberately made false child pornography allegations against Chatel, who was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing by the Attorney General's Office. Chatel sued in federal court, claiming that his free speech rights had been violated; that case was dismissed. Chatel is moving forward with the suit in state court.
Begin also had his own brush with the law when a resident complained that during the elections in 2011, he had violated state election law by going into a restricted area and helping an elderly person get to the polls. The case, brought against Begin by the Attorney General's Office, was dismissed in Goffstown District Court.
Clow said the chief has left a legacy of an impressive roster of police officers, many of whom he hired.
"I hope things are going to be much better going forward," said resident Frank Campana. "They've never gone well and I've been here over 40 years and the problems always seemed to exist."
Rod Wilson, who's been in town since 1932, isn't happy with the police department, but he doesn't point the finger at Begin.
"I've never had too much of an issue with Greg," he said. "He seems to be a pretty decent guy, and he treats me well. But there's one particular officer that's been called on the carpet a few times and that may be where the problem is."
Wilson wouldn't name the officer.
Elected, appointed
Begin was elected to serve as police chief in 2005 to replace embattled Chief Myles Rigney, who chose not to run when townspeople decided to make the police chief an elected position.
Rigney, who was hired in 2000, was placed on paid administrative leave in 2004 after a secretary at the police department alleged that he had sexually harassed her. The secretary, Sherry Dunham, a former Union Leader correspondent, eventually settled with the town for $75,000 and withdrew her complaints against Rigney, according to reports.
But to some folks in town, Rigney was seen as butting heads with members of the police commission and board of selectmen, and a $15,000 raise over three years made him one of the highest-paid police chiefs in the area.
When a warrant article passed in 2004 making the chief's position elected and slashing the salary by nearly $20,000, Rigney declined to run. The following year, Begin won the position.
Last March, voters decided to return the position of police chief to an appointed one, a move that had long been supported by Begin, said Clow.
"This allows us to have the process that examines the qualifications of a potential chief," Clow said.
Wilson said he thinks the position should have remained an elected one, and pointed to the problems he said the town had with Rigney.
"With an appointed chief, you have a few selecting for the many," said Wilson. "I think it would be a good idea to elect him."
Early retirement
Before Rigney and Begin, Police Chief Edward Tuthill decided to retire after four years on the job in Weare following an investigation into charges that officers, including Carney, had been drinking on the job. Carney and the other officer admitted to drinking, but despite Tuthill's recommendation that Carney be terminated, the board kept him on and instead turned their focus on the police department policies, the reports stated.
Campana said he remembers those days well, and said that through the years, there's always been one officer involved with much of the controversy.
"Carney's got 20 years with the department, and though there have been many instances he's been in trouble, he always comes out with the proverbial smell of the rose," said Campana.
But Carney is just one member of what Campana said has been a "bit of a dysfunctional family" at the police department. He said he hopes with a change of leadership, the family will straighten itself out.

Shiv Sena targets Maha CM over "dismal" law and order situation
Shiv Sena, a ruling partner in the BJP-led Maharashtra government, today targetted chief minister Devendra Fadnavis over "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state, saying despite a ban dance bars are still functional in connivance with police
Shiv Sena, a ruling partner in the BJP-led Maharashtra government, today targetted chief minister Devendra Fadnavis over "deteriorating" law and order situation in the state, saying despite a ban dance bars are still functional in connivance with police.
Attacking Fadnavis, who also holds Home portfolio, without taking his name, Sena MLC Anil Parab wondered how dance bars are still active in the city.
"If a police van is parked outside (the bars) then it indicates that dance bar is on. Dance bars are functional in cooperation with police," he said. Dance bars were banned by the then Home Minister (late) R R Patil when Congress-NCP coalition government was at the helm.
Parab alleged the Home department lacked any control over law and order and recalled how BJP leader (late) Gopinath Munde used to pay surprise visits to police stations during night when he was deputy chief minister in the NDA government in 1995. Parab said police could not even solve simple cases of chain snatching.
Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council, Dhananjay Munde raised the issue of protection given by Home department to a cricket bookie, Anil Singhania and demanded it should be withdrawn.
"When our government was in power, Home minister R R Patil had withdrawn Singhania's security. However, your government has given him protection once again," he said. Munde said the government continued to provide security to Singhania despite an MLA of the ruling party having written to it.
"One ruling party MLA has written four letters to government to not provide security to the bookie but was ignored. Why has the government given him security?" Munde questioned.
The Fadnavis government also came under fire from many members of the Upper House over the law and order situation, who raised various issues during the discussion.
Munde also dismissed an earlier claim made by Fadnavis that the rate of conviction has improved after the BJP government came to power last year.
"How can the rate of conviction double in just three months?...It was 14 per cent and has gone up to 28 per cent in three months... The conviction came from cases like jumping the traffic signal, travelling triple seat on motorcycle etc. But it's sad the real cases are still pending before the court without any results for years," Munde said.
He alleged some officials of Anti-Corruption Bureau are indulged in corruption by "blackmailing" people. "The ACB conducts drives to curb corruption. However, there are complaints at district-level that ACB officials are blackmailing people by threatening that their names are in the ACB list. Is the government going to take some strong action against the officials concerned to prevent corrupt practices?" Munde said.

12-13-2012 Andrews Ranked as Overperforming School
No. 11 on U.S. News & World Report's Nation List
Berrien Springs, Mich. — Andrews University was recently ranked #11 on U.S. News & World Report's Overperforming Schools in the Nation list, with an overall score of +75. This concept measures the degree to which a university's overall position in the rankings exceeds or falls short of its undergraduate academic reputation rank.
This was the magazine's first-ever analysis of colleges in the national universities ranking category that are overperforming or underperforming their undergraduate academic reputations in terms of their overall Best Colleges 2013 rankings.
"This report appears to support the reality that small private/Christian institutions can—and often do—offer an environment of excellence and nurturing where students thrive and succeed, often beyond what might be expected," says Andrea Luxton, provost of Andrews University. "However, it is also difficult for smaller institutions to find the resources to communicate that value widely, which inevitably leads to an underestimation of value. As far as Andrews is concerned, this report recognizes that our quality programs are very competitive with some of the best institutions in the nation."
In the study, the schools that were ranked, which include Andrews University, performed well in key academic metrics such as selective admissions, financial and faculty resources, alumni giving, and graduation and retention rates. Andrews University was the only institution in the Seventh-day Adventist educational system to be recognized as an overperforming university.
"With the additional value of the element of our Christian community, we have a winning combination!" says Luxton.
Earlier this year, Andrews University made a few other U.S. News & World Report college ranking lists too. With a diversity index of .73, the University tied for 4th in Campus Ethnic Diversity and with 13% of our student body composed of international students, Andrews tied for 9th in Most International Students.
Other overperforming universities include: Adelphi University, N.Y. (#1); Ashland University, Ohio (#2); University of St. Thomas, Minn. (#3); Stevens Institute of Technology, N.J. (#4); St. Mary's University of Minnesota, Minn. (#5); Azusa Pacific University, Calif. (#6); Edgewood College, Wis. (#7); University of Tulsa, Okla. (#8); Yeshiva University, N.Y. (#9); Biola University, Calif. (#10); St. John Fisher College, N.Y. (#12); South Carolina State University, S.C. (#13); University of La Verne, Calif. (#14) and Maryville University of St. Louis, Mo. (#15).

Founded in 1874, Andrews University is the flagship institution of higher education for the Seventh-day Adventist church, located one-half mile east of the U.S. 31 Bypass in Berrien Springs, Mich.

Secretary of State John Kerry does not believe that Israel is an apartheid state, according to his spokesperson, who refused to confirm that he said the country could turn into "an apartheid state with second-class citizens" if the peace talks fail.
"The secretary does not believe and did not state publicly or privately that Israel is an apartheid state," State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters Monday, adding that he regards Israel as "a vibrant democracy and he continues to believe that there should be an can be a path toward a two-state solution."
The Daily Beast's Josh Rogin obtained audio of a private conversation that Kerry had with international officials on Friday.
"A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second-class citizens -- or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state," Rogin quotes Kerry as saying. "Once you put that frame in your mind, that reality, which is the bottom line, you understand how imperative it is to get to the two-state solution, which both leaders, even yesterday, said they remain deeply committed to."
When asked if Kerry understands that Israeli leaders and supporters oppose comparing Israel to an apartheid regime, Psaki replied that "We're certainly all familiar with the term."

Disclaimer: I received this pair of compression sleeves for free from RecoFit. After my last set of product reviews in which I was less than satisfied with the Zensah compression sleeves, I was contacted by Susan at RecoFit offering to send me a pair of their alternative. While I may have received the compression sleeves for free, this review is my own honest opinion of the product.
First, let me say that it is really cool to get free product. I know there are some bloggers out there with sponsors and what not who get free stuff all the time. For me, however, this was my first free gear.
Flashback to my Zensah review in December. My main complaint with the Zensah sleeves was that they didn't seem provide much, if any, compression at all. All they did was keep my legs warm in the cooler weather.
Enter the RecoFit sleeves.
About RecoFit
The story behind the creation and development of the RecoFit is pretty interesting. They were made by an athlete for athletes. Susan, the developer and president of the company spent over 20 years working on the media side of sports. Over the years she was plagued by soreness from running. Unsatisfied with the current products on the market, she worked with her husband to create the RecoFit sleeve. You can read the full story about RecoFit on their website (https://recofitsports.com/) if you are interested.
First Impression
My first impression of the sleeves was they looked more high tech than the Zensah sleeves. When I first picked up the RecoFit sleeves they had a very fine, thin feeling to them. The seams and overall structure of the socks made them appear much more high tech than the Zensah sleeves. But this is all appearances, would they really work better?
The Fit
As soon as I put on the RecoFit sleeves, I knew that they were going to work better than the Zensah sleeves. Why? Because they were difficult to pull on. The Zensah sleeves were very stretchy and slid on like a pair of long socks. The RecoFit sleeves however are more of what I expect out of compression clothing. They need to put on a little bit and then slowly worked up the leg by bunching them up, pulling a little bit more, and repeating the process until they are in place. The first time I put them on, I put them on wrong. I didn't realize that the sleeves were left/right specific until I had them on the wrong legs and read the packaging.
One of the reason for the better fit, compared to the Zensah sleeves, is the fact that they come in more sizes. The Zensah sleeves come in 3 sizes XS/S, S/M, and L/XL. The RecoFit sleeves, however, come in 5 sizes based on calf size. My calves measured at 14" at the widest point which put me in the medium size (13"-15").
The Look
RecoFit's goal was to create something that "didn't look geriatric" and was "cool" looking. They succeeded! I chose the white color (they come in black or white). They each have two distinct panels, one for the bulk of the sleeves and a second on the back that covers the calf.
Actual Usage
Ok, so now you have seen how they look, but do they work?
Now, there are basically two uses for RecoFit sleeves, RECOvery and FITness (hence the RecoFit name). I have finally used the sleeves for both recovery after a workout and during a race.
The first workout was a 10 mile run and the second was a 15 mile run. On the 10 mile run day, I spent a large portion of the afternoon on my feet. Whereas on the 15 mile run day, I spent most of the afternoon sitting around watching football. In both cases, my legs felt fresh all day long and I didn't have any post run soreness.
For the fitness aspect, I ran the Portland Winter Run wearing the sleeves. I felt great the entire way. Normally by the third mile of a hard 5k, my calves start to feel like lead. However, with the sleeves, I felt consistent through the entire race. And despite the temperature being in the teens, I was comfortable wearing shorts and the sleeves rather than long tights.
Overall Impression
Overall, I have been very impressed by the RecoFit sleeves. Compared to the Zensah sleeves, they blow them out of the water. I really can't speak of the scientific pros/cons of compression technology, but what I can say is that it has seemed to help me perform better and recover faster. RecoFit also offers compression arm sleeves. I may end up buying a set of those once it starts to warm up so I have something to strip off on my morning bike rides.

Browser-based games. Where do I start?
This looks like a cool forum. I've been asking on several forums for the past week now and no one can give me any answers.
I have been programming for about 10 years. C# is my preferred language right now. I am getting tired of business management and want to get into game programming. I want to develop basic multiplayer games that can be played via a browser and can access a MS SQL database. To start with I just want to make small card and word games like the ones you find at pogo.com.
Does anyone here play at pogo.com or know what type of technology they use for making those games? I have looked into several and was pointed to Eclipse. I found the download was 125MB and I want to know if its what I'm looking for before I download it.
I would also like to have a small chat box/window in the games. I'm not sure where to start on this, if I need some type of server or web host, etc.
Can someone please help me get on the right track and let me know if Eclipse is what I am looking for?
Is Eclipse a free product? Is it the same as MyEclipse?
Thanks in advance! :)

Poinsettia plants are poisonous. In 1919, a young child died after eating a leaf of this decorative holiday plant. Though the child's death was later attributed to a different cause, the association between poinsettia plants and poison has stuck for nearly a century. Many studies since then have proven that there is no toxic substance in these plants, yet the myth remains.
- Children who have eaten too many Christmas cookies are hyperactive. Over a dozen scientific studies have shown that eating a high sugar diet does not affect children's behavior. In fact, some studies show this myth is all in the parents' minds. If a parent believes their child has consumed a sugary beverage, they are more likely to say their child has been acting up.
- If you don't wear a hat, you'll lose all your body heat. This myth originates from a poorly-designed study, which measured the heat loss of people not wearing hats. Their heads were the only exposed part of their body, so of course the subjects lost heat through their heads. In reality, an uncovered body part will lose heat at the same rate as any other.
Happy holidays to all of my readers!

J/A+A/397/711 Comptonization and reflection in GRS 1915+105 (Rau+, 2003)
Comptonization and reflection of X-ray radiation and the X-ray-radio correlation in the χ-states of GRS 1915+105. Rau A., Greiner J. <Astron. Astrophys. 397, 711 (2003)> =2003A&A...397..711R
ADC_Keywords: X-ray sources ; Binaries, X-ray Keywords: X-ray: stars - stars: binaries: close - X-rays: individual: GRS 1915+105 Abstract: We present a comprehensive X-ray study of four years of pointed RXTE observations of GRS 1915+105 in the χ-state. We interpret the behavior of the hard power law tail spectrum as coming from inverse Compton scattering of soft disk photons on a thermally dominated hybrid corona above the accretion disk. GRS 1915+105 shows a strong, variable reflection amplitude. As in other BHC and in Seyfert galaxies, a correlation between the power law slope and the reflection was found. Also, the radio fluxes at 2.25GHz and 15GHz correlate with the power law slope, thus revealing a connection between the outflowing matter and the comptonizing region in the χ-states. Description: Results of the analysis of 139 RXTE spectra of GRS 1915+105 in the χ-state are shown. PCU0 of the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) and High Energy X-Ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE) Cluster 0 data were fitted in XSPEC 11.0 with a model consisting of of (i) photoelectric absorption (WABS; Balucinska-Church & McGammon, 1992, Cat. VI/62), (ii) a spectrum from an accretion disk consisting of multiple blackbody components (DISKBB) and (iii) a power law spectrum reflected from an ionized relativistic accretion disk (REFSCH; Fabian et al., 1989MNRAS.238..729F, Magdziarz & Zdziarski, 1995MNRAS.273..837M).

text: 1. Be Prepared Modern Survival Blog: When Resupply is Not Possible November 14, 2014 There is one thing that we all count on in this world, and that is the ability to resupply. And when I say 'resupply', I mean everything. Literally. What are you going to do during a time when it is no longer possible to resupply? Here's what I suggest: First, you need to get an understanding for what it is that you already regularly resupply the most. Logically, these might be the supplies that you will need the most during a time when you can't get them. So first, you need to identify them. Second, you need to assess your own risk tolerance and choose a length of time which you couldn't live without these supplies. In other words, based on what you believe to be the length of time in which you might not be able to resupply (the length of the disaster and after-affects) this will be how much you should store ahead for preparedness. Third, you need to procure these supplies and store them appropriately in your home or other designated place. Fourth, unless you believe that every potential disaster will be relatively short lived, you will need to figure out your own resupply plan for when your storage runs out. This presumes that the regular distribution networks are down or no longer exist. In other words, you will need to do it yourself, make it yourself, grow it yourself, barter and trade for it yourself, etc.. While the fourth step may seem unrealistic to some, and while the probabilities of occurrence may seem relatively low (for a long term resupply outage), the fact is that it is certainly possible that a given disaster could actually become a major SHTF long term event. Some worse than others, potentially lasting a very long time. Is 3 weeks of supplies enough? For some, yes, that's enough. For others, 3 months is the 'feel right' target. Still others, 1 year. There are even those who have gone beyond 1 year of storage as an insurance policy in a world of instant resupply gratification. When resupply is not possible, you will need to supply yourself. To discover the realistic and practical supplies you'll need, simply keep track of what you consume. For a period of weeks, it may be helpful to save the receipts of everything you purchase. Every store. Every thing. This will help you discover some of the supplies you may want to store ahead. While lots of these supplies (from your receipts) may actually be unnecessary during a time of resupply outage, there will be necessities in there. Ask yourself some questions: What are the foods that I regularly eat? What are the consumables that I go through on a regular basis? What if there were shortages of some or all of these things? How long could I make it without them? Do I really believe that resupply gratification will always be there for me? Will I always live in a world of plenty? Am I somehow immune from being affected by a disaster in which channels of resupply distribution become majorly disrupted?

Flathead catfish
The Flathead catfish (Pylodictis olivaris), also known as yellow cat, opelousas, mud cat and shovelhead cat, are large North American freshwater catfish. Ranging from the lower Great Lakes region to northern Mexico, they have been widely introduced and are an invasive species in some areas.
Their native range includes a broad area west of the Appalachian Mountains encompassing large rivers of the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio basins. The range extends as far north as North Dakota, as far west as New Mexico, and south to the Gulf of Mexico including northeastern Mexico.
Flathead catfish are most closely related to the Satan genus of fish. They grow to a length of 155 cm and a maximum weight of up to 56 kg. Their maximum recorded lifespan is 20 years. Males are mature from 16 cm and 4 years of age while females mature from 18 cm and 5 years of age, but may mature as late as 10 years. The world angling record flathead catfish was caught May 14th, 1998 from Elk City Reservoir, Kansas and weighed 123 lbs. 9 oz. (56.05 kg).
Inhabiting deep pools, lakes and large slow-moving rivers, Flathead catfish are popular among anglers; their flesh is widely regarded as the tastiest of the catfishes. Their size also makes the Flatheads effective subjects of public aquaria. Like most catfish, Flatheads are benthic feeders and are not picky. They are voracious carnivores and feed primarily on other fish, insects, worms and crustaceans.
Sport fishing for flathead catfish using rod and reel can be an exciting past-time. Anglers target this species in a variety of waterways including small rivers (barely large enough for a canoe), large rivers (such as the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers), and reservoirs. A common element of flathead catfish location is submerged wood cover such as logs and rootwads which often collect at bends in rivers. A good flathead spot usually also includes relatively deep water compared to the rest of a particular section of river, a moderate amount of current, and access to plentiful baitfish such as river herring, shad, carp, drum, panfish, or suckers. Anglers targeting large flathead catfish usually use stout tackle such as medium-heavy or heavy action rods from 6-10 feet (1.8-3.0 meters) in length with large line-capacity reels and line ranging from 20-80 pound (9-36 kg) test breaking strength. Generally large live baits are preferred such as river herring, shad, sunfish, suckers, carp, goldfish, drum, and bullheads ranging from 5-12 inches (12-30 cm) in length. Sometimes nearly as much time and effort is spent catching baitfish ahead of time as is spent fishing for flatheads. While not as numerous as other catfish species, catching a large flathead catfish (over 20 pounds) usually makes the effort worthwhile to an avid catfisherman. Flathead catfishing often takes place at night either from a boat or from shore once a catfisherman or woman has identified a likely looking flathead spot.
Spawning occurs in late June and early July. The nests are built by the male in areas with submerged logs and other debris and then fiercely and tirelessly guarded and the clutch fanned. The size of the clutch varies proportionately to the size of the female; an average of 2,640 eggs per kilogram of fish are laid.
The fry frequent shallow areas with rocky and sandy substrates where they feed on insects and worms such as annelids and polychaetes. Young flatheads are also cannibalistic, a fact which has largely precluded their presence in aquaculture.

Safari is also up over 1% to about 7.5% of visitors. Those gains come at the hands of IE and Mozilla. IE is down nearly 2% to 56%. Pretty heavy changes for just a few months.

New Delhi, Delhi, July 31, 2012 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced that Krishna aur Kans, an animated feature film presented by Reliance Animation, has been powered by Adobe technologies including Adobe® Flash® Professional, Adobe Premiere® Pro, After Effects® and Photoshop®. Set for release on 3 August 2012, Krishna aur Kans will be India's first stereoscopic 3D animated feature film marking a milestone in the Indian animation industry. A team of over 1,200 exceptional artists have worked over the last five and a half years on this movie using a host of Adobe technologies to bring to life the narrative of Krishna, who is set to mesmerize the audience with his charm and valor. While most of the global releases (in Hindi, English, Tamil and Telugu) are in stereoscopic format, the film will also be released in 2D.
For this project, the team at Reliance Animation used Adobe Flash Professional and After Effects extensively, giving the age-old heritage of Indian story telling a digital avatar. In fact, the animation in the film has been done primarily using Adobe Flash software, crafting a magnum opus canvas to help viewers relive the time of Krishna. Additionally, the film has been specially made to support multiple contemporary platforms such as theatres, televisions, computers, tablet devices and mobile screens. The team also used Adobe Premiere Pro as one of the key software in their workflow for offline editing.

i have a form where there are 2 pages. the 1st is for form data, the 2nd for uploading attachments. For each time a new form is filled out, it gets assigned an EventID (so the info can be looked at later).
I am able to upload files to a folder (UploadedFiles) no problem.
What I need is to be able to create a new folder in UploadedFiles for each new EventID. That way I can associate the attachments to specific Events. I would like the new folders to be named with the EventID (so EventID =44, the folder containing the attachments for it is in \UploadedFiles\44).
The way I have it now, no new folders are created, and all attachments are put into UploadedFiles. So now when I view the attachments (I have a table that displays them) all attachments for all events are listed.
I pass the EventID in the URL in order to display the correct event.
Here is the code that uploads:
Is there a way to add a new folder named with the EventID if it doesn't already exist? if it does, can the attachment be put in it (if it's for the same EventID)?

Bellydancing and the Blues on BBC Radio 4
Posted on December 21st, 2012 in News, Recent posts by Simon Broughton.
Bellydancing and the Blues should be an ideal escape from the inevitable Christmas fare. First broadcast on Boxing Day on BBC Radio 4, it examines the roots of bellydance and baladi music – the down-home sound of urban Cairo. The programme is presented by Guy Schalom, the charismatic percussionist who leads the London-based group Baladi Blues. With sax player Ahmed el Saidi and quarter-tone accordion player Sheik Taha, the group animate bellydance evenings and conjour up the romantic sound of old Cairo.
'Baladi is Egyptian dance music at its most dynamic,' says Schalom. 'Soulful accordion, saxophone and trumpet solos energised by powerful Egyptian percussion rhythms give baladi its distinctive sound. The music reflects the fast-paced, urban lifestyle of Cairo yet has its roots in the countryside.' In the programme Schalom explores the contradictions inherent in bellydance and examines its role in post-revolutionary Egypt today.
But the deepest contradictions rest with the very people who perform baladi. What seems to us a provocative, alluring, even licentious dance for women in fact has roots in a ceremonial dance for men. As we discover in Cairo, deep divisions remain between those who think it is a vital expression of the Oriental spirit and those committed to regenerating sexual stereotypes. So what is the reality of bellydance and baladi in the new Egypt? Can it find any place amongst the street rappers and pop artists or is this an art form about to be consigned to realms of the tourist-pleasing cafes? As with so much in this rapidly changing culture, the answers prove difficult to find.
If you like the music then we're also delighted to break the news of the appearance of Guy Schalom and the Baladi Blues Ensemble at the Songlines Encounters Festival at Kings Place on June 6.

The Prince's Regeneration Trust announces final Welsh date for its four year BRICK regeneration Roadshow
Brymbo Ironworks, Wrexham hosts final Welsh workshop for community groups needing help saving their local heritage - Thursday 29th June
Heritage experts from the UK's leading regeneration charity, The Prince's Regeneration Trust (PRT), have announced the very last Welsh date for the BRICK regeneration roadshow.
A team of experts linked to successful Welsh restoration projects, including Richard Bellamy, Head of Heritage Lottery Fund, Wales, and the team behind the award-winning restoration of Cardigan Castle will be providing advice to the public at the 28th BRICK workshop in the Machine Shop at Brymbo Ironworks, Blast Road, Brymbo, nr. Wrexham, North Wales LL11 5BT on Thursday 29th June from 9:30am - 4:30pm.
The workshop is aimed at every community group and individual that needs help and support with the challenges of saving a local historic building.
The BRICK roadshow has toured the entire UK for the past four years, successfully bringing together community groups and individuals with the
country's leading regeneration specialists, property professionals, funders and volunteers to share knowledge, practical skills and experience so that many more buildings can be saved and reused, right across the country.
Workshop topics will include Richard Bellamy, Head of Heritage Lottery Wales advising on what makes a building fit for funding, Hannah Southgate from PRT explaining how to manage, step-by-step, a complex project, followed by an audience Q&A with a project manager, a beginner's guide to governance, and Sue Lewis and Jann Tucker from the Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust talking about the work to restore Cardigan Castle and turn it into a thriving visitor attraction.
Everyone attending the workshop will have an opportunity to tour the Brymbo Ironworks, where an exciting project is underway to develop the former iron and steelworks and accompanying 300 million year old fossilised forest area into a visitor attraction, learning centre and business hub for North Wales.
Laura Norris, Programme Director of BRICK, urges everyone involved in a heritage regeneration project to attend:
"Our heritage gives Wales its unique character and draws people to live, work and visit. These buildings are often at the heart of Welsh communities giving them a sense of place. We need to protect and restore them, but in a way that they take on new uses that benefit their communities for future years.
This in many cases requires a collaborative effort. Community groups will learn a lot from the experts at the workshop and from meeting on the day with similar organisations who have dealt with familiar challenges. We hope it will be a forum where people leave equipped with the skills they need, but also energised and inspired by what they have heard and seen," said Laura.
The BRICK programme has been made possible through major grant funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and contributions from the Alan Baxter Foundation, Purcell and British Land.
To book a place please call 020 7613 8528 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Sizzling Summer Internet Marketing Tips (1)
Credit: Vertical Response
While summer can be a boom time if you're selling ice cream or pool cleaning services, it can be a slow season for many businesses.But summer doesn't have to mean lower revenues – it can be an excellent time to solidify existing customer relationships and take advantage of a slower pace to execute professional, tried and tested marketing techniques.
Been helped small business succeed on their online marketing , the following ideas gethered by us could help you to boost your business this summer for sizzling success.
1. Launch a Customer Win-Back Campaign
This approach ties into the notion of customer loyalty. While your competitors may be taking the summer season in stride, your message will resonate loud and clear. You miss them and want them back. To win back a previous customer, it'll cost you less than acquiring a new one. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
• Send lapsed customers a self-addressed, stamped postcard for a survey. Find out why they've taken their business elsewhere. Was it a service or price issue? Is there something you can do to win them back? Just asking the question shows that you care and you'll probably learn something new about your business in the process.
• Offer an incentive to come back. Send them an email or postcard and offer them a discount off a product or service. It might be just the reminder that you mean what you say.
Create an alert in your survey if someone answers a question reflecting a poor service experience. If they come back, work extra hard to change their mind. The difference now is you know why they left in the first place.
…to be continued.

What does BOBCAT mean?
Definitions for BOBCATˈbɒbˌkæt
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word BOBCAT.
Princeton's WordNet
bobcat, bay lynx, Lynx rufus(noun)
small lynx of North America
A North American wild cat, Lynx rufus, having tufted ears and a short tail
a multi-purpose construction vehicle that is a akin to a smaller version of a front-end loader or a backhoe (backhoe loader), with a one-man caged control cabin
The bobcat is a North American mammal of the cat family Felidae, appearing during the Irvingtonian stage of around 1.8 million years ago. With 12 recognized subspecies, it ranges from southern Canada to northern Mexico, including most of the continental United States. The bobcat is an adaptable predator that inhabits wooded areas, as well as semidesert, urban edge, forest edges, and swampland environments. It persists in much of its original range, and populations are healthy. With a gray to brown coat, whiskered face, and black-tufted ears, the bobcat resembles the other species of the mid-sized Lynx genus. It is smaller on average than the Canada lynx, with which it shares parts of its range, but is about twice as large as the domestic cat. It has distinctive black bars on its forelegs and a black-tipped, stubby tail, from which it derives its name. Though the bobcat prefers rabbits and hares, it will hunt anything from insects, chickens, and small rodents to deer. Prey selection depends on location and habitat, season, and abundance. Like most cats, the bobcat is territorial and largely solitary, although with some overlap in home ranges. It uses several methods to mark its territorial boundaries, including claw marks and deposits of urine or feces. The bobcat breeds from winter into spring and has a gestation period of about two months.

It is with no small amount of regret that I have neglected to post for the past several days. Involved as I was, it is true, in my everyday traveling affairs, I actually did have time to write. I withheld another post earlier in the week because I thought I could make some money by selling it to a magazine, and yet I have not even sent it. So the few readers left will be given sketches of my past week in Beijing (and my subsequent exit).
Beginning with now – I am writing this on a train: 36 hours to Chengdu – the slow train because all others have been sold-out. Allow me to indulge myself here, as I have in the past regarding the train. From my loft I look down upon a small table covered with communal food – offered back and forth throughout the journey between friendly passengers in such deep respect for old world hospitality that one would suspect the Chinese of writing the hospitality section of the Bible. In China, Jesus would not sleep in a stable.
Bananas, apples, pears, dates, peanuts, sunflower seeds, instant noodles, packaged meats, and candy are piled together on the table. Sometimes the lurching train causes the mountain of food to shift or fall.
There is the look of surprise, seen again and again throughout the train, when I understand or speak Chinese, or go beyond the common foreign blunders to fit myself into the harmony of my surroundings. These things are noticed.
This long journey is mentally exhausting – people return to their bunks often to sleep and snore. The clicking train is only one soundtrack – another being constant chatter in various regional dialects: this person is from Sichuan, and that person is from Beijing. And there is the actual music played in the train, an outdated melange of Chinese songs which comes, at best, crackling from the speakers and whose potential for annoyance prompted the engineers to install a switch for passenger control. Sometimes I turn it off, then someone will come to turn it on again. At night a vaguely familiar goodnight song is played, something perhaps from The Sound of Music. An older woman sitting across from me has her own soundtrack going while she hums aloud. Her husband asks her a question, and she responds with a yell, talking over her music for several minutes. This variety of sounds is punctuated by cell phone rings of traditional Chinese music when we hit pockets of coverage passing through cities.
A young boy on the train gradually lost his fear of me and began to wonder aloud how I could speak Chinese. Before I knew it, he had assigned each of us a name: he was a famous Chinese officer during World War 2, and I was assigned a generic Japanese sounding name. He shot imaginary bullets down the aisle until I succumbed to loss of blood. Later he stuffed a package of processed meat into my pocket as a gesture of friendship.
The train isn't always great. It requires careful planning to ensure a hard sleeper can be procured. Soft sleepers are too stuffy and impersonal, and hard seats, while they solidify one's character and help to re-educate the bourgeoisie, they are in fact miserable. Additionally, the constant worry of diarrhea looms, and the idea of balancing on the slippery bathroom squat toilet is less than appealing. Remember: trains have a habit of lurching unexpectedly.
It was several days ago when I realized the prospect of bumming around hostels for 3 months in China to be an entirely dismal likelihood, and found myself desperately scouring couchsurfing.com and accosting all sorts of Beijingers with pleas to stay with them for a few days. This is how I met Xinwei and her roommate Xiaozhong. This is how I came to find Chinese hospitality again after watching it be stripped away along the tourist routes.
Xinwei was honest and open with me, giving me a rare chance to talk about China and the cultural differences between our countries (and within). Later I found myself the only male at a Bachelorette party – whose conversations became the basis for the story I neglected to post earlier. I don't mean to avoid giving you details of the party, but rather do not wish to repeat myself here.
Allow me to change the subject without the foolish notion that I will somehow redeem myself. The story continues, but with a different character.
He is an older man in his 50s and I met him while I was lost in a back alley near a forbidding courthouse. He addressed me in an English so devoid of accent that I took him for an American. He led me to the restaurant I couldn't find, said goodbye and parted when one of us – I forgot whom – found some last word or question that led us back into conversation, exchanging phone numbers, and meeting at a cafe 2 days later to discuss the ominous unknown that is China's future. I listened as, with tears in his eyes and lips trembling, he related the great poverty in China and how the government is so adept at using their brush to paint modernity over reality. He went on to discuss culture, nationalism, and history and I was shocked at his profound understanding. I would like to relate only one of these threads, which I remember distinctly.
But first, let us give this man a name: Mr. Lu (for the writer Lu Xun). I give him the name of a famous skeptic writer, though their ideas are probably very different in many respects. Some may complain that I have used so famous a name, but I believe this man is deserving of the name's respect.
Mr. Lu pointed out an overarching problem with China, in his opinion, which was the lack of something meaningful in which to believe. Before there was Mao, which was a belief that worked for the people – it met their needs. The people were poor, but they had something in which they could believe. Doors were left unlocked in the night. People felt safe. It was one harmonious society in pursuit of a common goal, united under Mao. And then Mao died. The great vacuum was filled with Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms, and people began to get rich. Deng even declared, "To get rich is glorious." And now people fill that Mao-shaped hole with money. To be fair, for some the hole is not Mao-shaped. Perhaps they were born after Mao. In any case, however, the hole is there. Mr. Lu pointed out the habits of people in America – showing how people celebrate their freedom. He stated that China lacked a common religion, and he didn't believe Nationalism would fill the hole soon (despite the government's attempts to do so).
It was not a refreshing experience because it left me feeling sad about China, but I felt myself lucky to be having this conversation.
My tourist excursions have been thwarted by rain and sharks – the dangerous creatures finding me in a city outside Beijing and charging me outrageous prices for a car ride. "You are sharks," I said to them all, "I am returning to Beijing!" And so I did, leaving that section of the Great Wall unseen (by me) and instead finding a Starbucks to drown my frustrations in caffeine. Some call it a "Bad China Day."
The day I left Beijing was my first glance of the sun, which remained bright and clear throughout the afternoon. I felt sad to be moving on.
Somewhere between my misadventures I discovered my reason for coming back to China. It came up in conversations with train passengers. "I came to absorb China because I never really said goodbye." Whether or not this reason is to be fulfilled has yet to be seen, but it was comforting to have some clarity. My visit here is a 3-month goodbye, during which I am going to enjoy everything as it is, relax, not be hesitant to turn around – go the other direction, or sit down and rest when my legs are tired. I will avoid the sharks as much as possible.
I am in Chengdu.
[update: the train was 4 hours late, making my journey an even 40 hours]

But I didn't.
Instead, I started lying and I've had no chance to give it up since. Now I can't sleep, my head hurts, my stomach is churning, I'm either too hot or too cold all the time and my back is killing me. This hole is just getting deeper and deeper with no end in sight, so any suggestion for digging my way out of it — hey, I'm all ears!

Last weekend, 16 of us headed to Shanghai to celebrate our friend Kim's (far left) birthday. I absolutely fell in love with the city!!
While the boys slept in and ate dumplings and drank beer… us girls got in some shopping, walking and lunching. It was so much prettier and less polluted than I had expected.
The city is so full of contrasts… old and new… Chinese and Western.
I think this is anice shot of the old on the Shanghai side, and the new on the Pudong side across the Huangpu river. The building with the hole in it is the Shanghai Financial Center–at 93 floors, with the Park Hyatt at the top, it was until very recently the highest hotel in the world.
Aren't these brushes beautiful? I was tempted to think of how one might decorate with them…
I got such a kick out of these GIANT xiao long bao — you suck the pork soup out with a straw they're so big!
I also got quite a kick out of this woman getting her hair dyed in the middle of a bustling marketplace — I think it was a free demo. You couldn't pay me to get my hair dyed in front of thousands by a complete stranger!
And there's the famous Pudong skyline right on the Bund.
It's such a pretty place to walk along… I loved all the historic, European buildings along the water's edge. All proudly flying their red flags.
Shanghai is home to 23 million people and has been the commercial center of China since the 1930s, thanks to its great port and special status as the Shanghai International Settlement, which established it as a British settlement after the first opium war ended in 1842. Land deals with the Americans and French followed soon after… and the French concession is still intact and one of the prettiest parts of the city. The lands were returned to the Chinese in 1943.
I was so surprised that it has one of the world's largest number of Art Deco buildings as a result of the construction boom during the roaring 1920s.
A Sex in the City – esque shot!
Being a group of six girls, we did a lot of hotel lobby hopping and as such enjoyed fabric napkins at every pit stop! Don't miss a walk through the stunning lobby of the recently refurbished Waldorf Astoria on the Bund.
What an amazing hotel!! Image from CNTraveler.com
And here's a view from the top of the Ritz from Pudong back to the other side… which seems to stretch on forever. I still can't get over how old but yet futuristic the tv tower looks!
And of course what would be on top of a bridal Bentley pulling into a wedding at one of the nicest hotels in Shanghai? Why a Hello Kitty couple of course. Naturally.

Pascal, as designed (as a language for > newbies) by N. Wirth, had no conditional expressions (and no logical > operators that ensured short-circuiting, either). I can tell for sure that Pascal did not support conditional expressions. Even short circuiting is not part of the language - there is nothing in the language definition about this. However, Borland line of Pascal compilers had a switch to set the logical expression evaluation mode: short circuit or full evaluation. That may be the reason why some people believe that (standard) Pascal supported it. > I don't think there are implications about Python from the choices > historically made by Backus, Naur, Wirth, and others in the '60s, but > nevertheless I'd appreciate clarification by careful historians... It seems to be impossible not to be aware of the choices made by those people - they've helped to define programming language design as a science. Now, if would-be 'designers' just keeping throwing away feature after feature at every new language design, it's their fault alone. Learning from the mistakes (and successes) of the masters is the *best* education possible. [btw, the adoption of indented blocks over brace/keyword delimited ones was a deliberate design decision by Guido; I've read somewhere in a interview by Guido himself that it involved a lot of considerations about the shortcomings of the then-standard practice.

Reviews of this property
The flat ist located in the middle of Edinburgh right next to Waverley station. You reach every spot within minutes. The house is comfy and has nice rooms. I contactet Gordon once about the apartment and got an answer almost immediately.
I'm looking forward to another stay in this nice apartment.
We have found a very cozy apartment close to Princess Street. The particular charm of the property reflected the relaxed life in Edinburgh. It will not be the last time.
Wir haben eine urgemütliche Wohnung in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Princess Street angetroffen. Der besondere Charme der
Unterkunft spiegelte das entspannte Leben in Edinburgh wider.
Es wird nicht das letzte mal gewesen sein.
I really can recommend this flat. It was very silent but in the middle of the town. We took the bus only when we visited the royal yacht "Britannia", on all other days we just walked. Great!
Stayed in this flat in Feb' 12; we were a party of 2 adults and 4 children, and it suited perfectly. The flat itself is generously proportioned, well furnished and the view is great.
It is SO close to the centre I couldn't believe our luck. Station, restaurants, cinema, shops and Tesco Express & Sainsburys Local are all within a 5 min walk.
The host uses an agent, but he was very accommodating.. even lending an iPhone charger. I really couldn't praise this apartment enough!!
I loved it, it was brilliant. The place was clean and very close to the station which was handy as well as the nearby shops. The place was so beautiful that people walking pass kept stopping to take pictures. I was also close to a nearby park and our Host was lovely and met us on the day we arrived.

COMMUNITIES across the Durham coalfield are still suffering 25 years after the closure of the region's pits, says a new report.
The Coalfields Regeneration Trust commissioned Sheffield Hallam University's Centre for Regional Economic and Social Research to compare economic and social conditions in the UK's former mining areas with the rest of the country.
The State of the Coalfields shows deprivation, ill health and unemployment are continuing to blight communities, and concludes there is a "compelling case" for continued support and access to funding.
Coalfields Regeneration Trust chairman Peter McNestry said: "The tough reality for coalfields residents is that these problems will not go away overnight.
"We cannot simply turn our backs on more than five million people. We have worked for 15 years to support these communities and to provide them with access to the resources, practical advice and funding that they need to help themselves.
"We have come some way to improving the situation in the coalfields but this report proves there is still a great deal of work to be done."
Five smaller mining areas are all showing lower levels of economic and social distress than others and there was substantial growth in employment in other sectors of the economy, up to the start of the recession in 2008.

This was our first stay at Dona Lola, our first aparment Marcela G was absolutely wonderful overlooking the beach and with two terraces one on each floor, the apartments were undergoing renovations e.g. new air conditioning units and exterior decoration. We therefore moved to Patricia 132 another excellent apartment, this time with 3 bedrooms and a terrace with fold back windows, which was lovely for breakfast, the TV offers all the main English channels together with Spanish, French and German channels, there are two bathrooms. The restaruants Enriques and Meson Dona lola offer very good food to eat in or take away at very reasonable prices e.g. two Pasta dishes with a Pizza sized Garlic Bread with Cheese £10, which we thought was excellent value, we also had the most wonderful Paella and two fillet steaks that out did the Argentian Steak House nearby, and you must try the Crepe Suzzette that Shami cooks at your table and the Stroganoff that Enrique cooks at the table, both absolutely suberb and the wine!! well thats another fabulouse story. The weather was warm, high 60's shorts and T shirt from 11am to around 4pm, we came back with a tan. There was also entertainment on Dona lola two nights, we also had massages with Georgy at Butterfly Beauty near reception, which were wonderful. To tell you how good, we are already booked for the Meson and Georgy in May this year when we return to Marbella. I can thoroughly recommend both apartments for a relaxing and tranquil holiday / vacation.
This apartment has a wonderful location because of its direct beach location and it also has plenty of space and a cosy interior (with an eye for detail). No noise from the motorway, just the sound of waves. Two balconies facing South…Long beach walks, quietness in February, beautiful weather. We really enjoyed our stay!
We stayed for the school mid-term week in February and we really could not have found a nicer place to stay!! The accommodation was fabulous and the beachfront location was amazing! We really could not rate this property high enough.
Also location is great and although we hired a car, there is no real need for one as the are numerous restaurants in the area and a supermarket is just a short walk across the road. You can hop on a bus to go into Marbella or other towns nearby.
We really loved our stay here and would hope to stay again next time we're in this area.
Must also mention the owner, who was prompt in all correspondence and gave us great information before our arrival. Also breakage deposit was refunded promptly!
Thank you for such a fab place to stay on our holiday!
The O'Connor Family, Dublin, Ireland
Much better than expected. Great property in a great resort. Serious owner. We'll come back.
Nous avons séjourné dans l'appartement MICAELA G au mois de Mai 2016.
L'appartement est idéalement situé face à la mer et proche de la belle et grande piscine. De plus le soleil était au rendez-vous donc nous avons pleinement profité des terrasses.
C'est tellement bien que nous avons réservé pour la 3ème fois consécutive en septembre.
Un grand merci à Anne, toujours à l'écoute de ses locataires et de bons conseils pour profiter au mieux de la région. A noter qu'il y a de très bonnes adresses pour manger sur place.
Nous recommandons vivement cette location.
Superbe appartement très propre ,totalement équipé
le tout avec une superbe vue
Accueil pour les informations (en français) très sympathique
Résidence très bien entretenue,services très agréables(piscine,salle de sport ... )
Le seul point légèrement négatif est la situation du quartier grande route passante,des voies piétonnes seraient plus agréables mais avec une voiture possibilité de se rendre vite dans les sites touristiques

"Taxes May Rise If Golf Courses Get Tax Break"
Claudia Lenart reports on an appeal by historic Onwentsia Golf Club in Lake Forest, Illinois, where country club land "would be granted open space status and therefore would receive a zero assessment."
Lenart focuses on the likely tax rise for residents should the appeal succeed:
Because the Park Ridge Country Club has a private golf course, Park Ridge taxpayers would likely have to pay more into the tax coffers if the country club stops contributing.
In the Barrington-Lake Zurich area, home to numerous golf courses and country clubs, Ela Township Assessor John Barrington said Ela Township has all or part of seven golf courses that pay over $250,000 in taxes that would be shouldered by residents.
"Somebody will have to pick up this money. It doesn't go away; it just gets redistributed," Barrington said.

Hi, I'm Mark, the guitar player in the "Live Band Karaoke" show. I want to invite you to come sing with my band or just hang out and enjoy a great night of entertainment.
Whether you're a great singer, a beginner or have never sung a note, this gig is a slammin' good time. Of course just watching is a gas. People really get into it. But there's nothing like feeling the power of fronting a real live band. It blows the karaoke machine away. After you've done it…everything else is just practice.
Here's what people are saying!
"LIVE BAND KARAOKE. Do you need more? Be a rock star! These guys know a crazy amount of songs BY HEART. They don't miss a beat, but if you do, they help you out so everybody can keep rocking. Tons of fun!"
— Rick A.
"If you ever dreamed of being the lead guy/gal in a band this is your chance to feel the power!"
— Reggie L.
"For anyone who loves karaoke, this is "extreme" karaoke. It is so much more organic. Interacting with these excellent muscians gives one a taste of what it is like to be a performer on stage. It adds a new dimension that those of us thrill-seekers can truly get our teeth into. Try it once, and I'll bet you will never go back to the bouncing ball/computer screen karaoke again!"
— Shari
"Great people, great atmosphere, and insane amounts of fun! !"
— Candis
"There is a good selection of music to choose from. Even though you might completely suck the band will go with it and make you feel like a star. Thanks guys!"
— Karla
