LeBron James remains the best basketball player in the world.
The Miami Heat forward will be named NBA MVP for the fourth time in five seasons, a person familiar with the voting told USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt. The person requested anonymity because the announcement is scheduled for Sunday, with the presentation likely before the Heat's second-round playoff opener Monday.
James is the fifth player in NBA history to win four MVPs, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (six), Michael Jordan (five), Bill Russell (five) and Wilt Chamberlain (four). At 28, James is a year younger than Abdul-Jabbar and Russell, three years younger than Chamberlain and five younger than Jordan were when they won their fourth MVPs.
"I absolutely have not even thought about it," James said earlier this week of winning his fourth award. "I have not thought about it, until you just brought it up. I know the history. It would be a unique, unbelievable class I would be a part of, so we'll see."
PLAYOFFS: Second-round TV schedule
FUTURE: Could LeBron sign with Jay-Z?
James averaged 26.8 points a game, his lowest scoring output during an MVP season. But he added 8.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 56.5% from the field and 40.6% on three-pointers in the most efficient season of his career. He is the second player in NBA history to shoot 55% from the field and 40% on threes in one season, joining Chris Mullin in 1996-97.
"I don't know who else you'd vote for," Heat forward Chris Bosh said Friday. "No offense to everybody else, but that's just how good he has played this year."
James carried the Heat to a first-round sweep of the Milwaukee Bucks and now awaits the winner of the Brooklyn Nets-Chicago Bulls Game 7 series finale Saturday.

Report: Manchester City Swoops Past Arsenal To Nab Andrei ArshavinJanuary 11, 2009
According to the Mirror, Manchester City FC have matched Zenit St. Petersburg's asking price for the 27-year-old striker.
Andrei Arshavin was reported to have flown into London last week amid speculation he was poised to join Arsenal.
However, City are now reported to be in pole position, as Arsenal's valuation is around £3 million less than Zenit's asking price.
Also, Arsenal are crying over Arshavin's wage demand of around the £85,000-a-week bracket.
Contracts can be quite technical, so I don't see why City cannot offer Arshavin that wage demand on one condition, £60,000 a week with bonus on performances for the first year. "Prove you're worth that, my son," I'd say.
News of the World are reporting Manchester City FC are preparing a bid for Chelsea FC's second-choice goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, should Newcastle United FC not drop their asking price for Goalkeeper Shay Given.
The Mail on Sunday reports that that Mark Hughes is set to put in an offer for Sporting Lisbon holding midfielder Veloso and has also looked at Central Defenders in Holland.
Now the Transfer window looks better, with no Craig Bellamy or Scott Parker.

The first card, the significator, is placed in the center of the cross.
This card represents the prime energy manifest in your life.
Page of Cups:
The essence of water behaving as earth, such as a wellspring: An unexpected new relationship that is playful and spontaneous. A romantic soul who embraces compassion and imagination with childlike joy. Gentle reflections on love, spirituality, and the importance of personal relationships in business and material affairs. May herald the birth of a child.
The second card, placed above the significator, represents Air.
It describes your spirit, process of thought, and the influence of reason.
Five of Pentacles (Worry):
Hard times brought on by addiction, wasteful spending, ill health, or an outside event. Rejection, loneliness, and the need for comfort. May suggest unemployment, a catastrophe in personal finance, or a turn for the worse in business.
The third card, placed to the right of the significator, represents Fire.
It describes your motivations, creative energies, and the influence of passion.
Wheel of Fortune, when reversed:
An unexpected turn of bad luck. A broken sequence of events. Outside influences for the worse. An inescapable descent due to Fate or Karma. Great changes taking place as a result of earlier actions that cannot be taken back. Misfortune, failure and reluctance to use free will.
The fourth card, placed below the significator, represents Water.
It describes your emotions, meditations, and the influence of love.
The Emperor, when reversed:
Weakness in character leading to tyranny and abuse of worldly power. Loss of confidence and ambition, coupled with the cold execution of the unthinkable. The inability to carry out plans or command respect. Being unreasonable and prone to fits of rage. A deceiver or demagogue.
The fifth card, placed to the left of the significator represents Earth.
It describes your physical presence, position in life, and the influence of the material world.
The Tower, when reversed:
Unexpected upheaval leading to a positive change in life. Catastrophe survived or narrowly avoided. A new lifestyle and enlightenment. May indicate a broken relationship, divorce, or failure in business or career.
At this point the cross is complete and the triangle is formed.
The sixth card, placed on the bottom left of the triangle represents one of two opposing forces.
Raw power. Health and physical fortitude. A surge of tremendous force. Recovery from sickness. Victory after apprehension and fear. The ability to face and overcome opposition brings the inner qualities of strength and forbearance. Delays and setbacks will be overcome.
The seventh card, placed on the bottom right of the triangle represents the force that opposes the bottom left card.
These forces may be external, but they are frequently one's own inner archetypes in conflict.
The World, when reversed:
Incompleteness and shoddy design. A great work betrayed. Insecurity, fear of change, and the failure to reach goals. Regret and disappointment.
The eighth card, the reconciler, is placed below the cross in the third vertex of the triangle.
This is the force that will resolve the conflict between the bottom left and bottom right cards. By meditating on this force and bringing more of it into your life, you can bring the matter at hand to a swifter conclusion than would naturally occur.
The Chariot:
Victory through might. Advancement through bold action. Change through force. Order established through vigilance. A trying situation mastered by balancing opposing forces against each other. Discipline, individual effort and endurance will turn the tide.
The ninth and final card, placed in the center bottom of the triangle, represents the final outcome unless you change course.
Queen of Cups:
The essence of water, such as a deep and placid lake: Spirituality, maturity, and grace. A natural counselor and healer, One whose relaxed presence seems to embody deep love and spirituality. A tranquil poet who reflects the nature of the observer. The embrace of all things dreamlike and receptive, such as perfect and unconditional love.

Before we go any farther, I should tell you something about me. My name is Sheila Denison, and I am a Health and Diet columnist for Consumer 5 Reporter. They recently approached me about participating in a study they were conducting and since I had been looking for a weight loss product without the side effects most of these products have, I agreed to participate. In addition to the lack of side effects, I also wanted a product that didn't include a lot of ingredients my body didn't need. I was only interested in a product with high quality ingredients that would efficiently burn the fat.
The first thing I did was spend many hours conducting my own research on various products such as one of the super popular Forskolin (my friends and me had no success with this product as well). While I could have taken the word of advertisers and manufacturers about the most effective weight loss ingredients, I felt better conducting my own research. What I discovered during my research was that HCA, EGCG, antioxidants and apple cider vinegar are the most common fat-burning ingredients. I also came across some university reports during my research that stated these ingredients were also able to boost your energy and speed up the fat burning process. I also found out that the famous celebrity doctor had mentioned the benefits of EGCG on his show for those trying to lose weight.
None of us at Consumer Online Tips was really convinced about the validity of the testimonials from people who had claimed they used these ingredients to achieve successful weight loss. I have to admit I was probably the worst skeptic of them all because I had tried every new product that came on the market (without success) including many popular well known products you would find at GNC, Wal-Mart, and the popular ForSkolin. The only successful thing I achieved was suffering from more side effects than the last product I had tried, so I finally just gave up. Our curiosity got the best of us, so we knew we had to conduct our own study. Unfortunately that presented me with a tremendous challenge because I wanted to find a single product that had all of the active ingredients listed above. I knew purchasing the ingredients separately would be expensive, and besides, I didn't want to put all those supplements into my body.
After many hours of research I finally found Slim Optimum, a product that actually included all of the above ingredients. Not only does this product contain all of the above ingredients, it also contains several other powerful active ingredients that are known to help with faster weight loss. I was so happy to find this product, especially after I found out the ingredients were powerful as well as safe.
Sheila is a Health and Diet columnist for Consumer 5 Reporter. Not very long ago she volunteered to be a participant in a study we were conducting on weight loss products. The product she chose to test was called Slim Optimum and included several effective fat burning ingredients that included EGCG, HCA and grapefruit just to name a few. She combined the Slim Optimum with Detox Pro colon cleanser for 4 weeks and has drawn her own conclusions about the validity of the online testimonials. She will now share those results with our readers.
Sheila lost 17 LBS in 4 weeks!
In addition to losing weight, Sheila gained many other benefits from the Slim Optimum diet. For instance, Slim Optimum helps increase the energy level. Sheila also improved her sleep pattern and is now able to wake up fully rested.
Step 1:
Order the free trial of Slim Optimum
Step 2:
Order the free trial of Detox Pro
You must combine both of these products if you want to achieve fantastic results that are similar to Sheila's.

See what popular media outlets have to say about the ingredients in this product:
Doctor: states EGCG is a powerful antioxidant with many health benefits. According to statistical studies those who drink a few cups of green tea each day can lower their bad cholesterol and improve their weight loss success.
| Slim Optimum |
The next step in the process is for me to order a bottle of Slim Optimum. In spite of all the ads online for various diet products, I chose Slim Optimum because of all the positive reviews the merchandiser received. Not only was the product itself exciting, but I was able to order a free trial without being subjected to other offers for products I didn't need or want. The highly concentrated formula with its powerful blend of weight loss ingredients became the tie-breaker for me.Upon visiting the Slim Optimum website, the following information appears:
Even with all these claims of success we were not convinced of the validity of those claims. Our continued skepticism did not stop us from conducting our own study, however; in fact, they pushed us forward even more. The one key factor in all of the success stories was the use of a colon cleanser for best results, so I decided to do the same for my study. The rationale behind this combination is the Slim Optimum helps encourage weight loss and increase the energy while the colon cleanser gets rid of toxins in the body which in turn allows the metabolism to work at peak efficiency to burn calories faster. I chose Detox Pro for my study.
The Detox Proalso included a free trial offer with a satisfaction guarantee and no requirements to purchase other products or agree to receive additional offers.
The challenge is on!
Both manufacturers assured me my products would arrive within three to five days after placement of my online order.
When my order arrived I was pleased to find out there was an entire months' supply of each of the products. This was perfect for my needs since I had decided I would conduct my study for a total of 4 weeks, documenting my results on a weekly basis. I only changed one thing in my daily routine: taking Two "Slim Optimum" and Three "Detox Pro" pills every day.
Conclusion: Do you feel skeptical about the claims you are reading here? Don't worry--so were we at first; that is why we decided to conduct our own testing. Don't feel you have to take our word for it; try Slim Optimum for yourself and see the fabulous results first-hand. Once we completed the study we were pleased to see other people just like me had achieved success with this program. You have nothing to lose but unwanted pounds while using a product that includes safe ingredients for effective weight loss.

I found this today and although albeit slightly outdated by almost a year, I still wanted to reprint it here in case anyone is experiencing the issue described below:
One of the more common Adobe™ Insight issues that we have been hearing about is the screen alignment in Windows 7™ when using the Aero desktop. When Insight is maximized, you get a strange bar at the top of the screen and mouse clicks don't align with where the pointer is on the screen. The issue is caused by Windows 7's Aero desktop (with the translucent taskbar).
If you find yourself having this problem, there is a very easy solution. Create a desktop shortcut that automatically sets your screen to "Windows 7™ Basic" mode. This shortcut will also put your screen back into Aero mode when you are finished using Insight. It's super simple to do!
- Create a desktop shortcut to your Insight Client
- Right-click the new shortcut and select Properties
- Choose the Compatibility tab in the Shortcut Properties Dialog Box
- Check the "Disable desktop composition" box
- Choose OK to apply the new settings and close the dialog box

his weekend was the conclusion of the season for Elizabethtown College's golf team. The season concluded with the Commonwealth Conference Championships, which were held at Hershey Country Club's East Course. Stevenson University finished on top, and Etown grabbed sixth place. Sophomore Ryan Laudeman scored a total of 160 (+18) and took home a tie for sixth for the Blue Jays.
Another top finisher for the Blue Jays was first-year Austin Blanco. He tied for 14th with a total score of 164, 22 over par. Blanco was happy with his finish. "I was definitely pleased with my performance in our tournament," he said. "I was having a rough season and wasn't shooting well at all, so going into the tournament I was very nervous."
Laudeman, however, was hoping for a better individual finish. "It was nice to improve on my ninth place finish from last year, but I was playing some pretty good golf and was hoping for my first top five finish for an all-conference first team bid," he said. Although Laudemen missed out on the first name recognition, he was named to the second team.
Coming into the championship meet, Blanco said that the team was not too nervous because Hershey is the team's home course. After the first day of the tournament, Laudeman was in sixth place with a 78 (+7), and Blanco rounded out the top ten with a 81 (+10). The rest of the Blue Jay roster — first-year Adam Amspacher, sophomore Ryan Forbes and junior Austin Good — collected scores of 89, 92 and 93 on day one, respectively.
Laudeman kept his six stroke distance between him and Messiah College's Matt Burkhart, the winner of the championship. Blanco fell slightly from his tenth spot during day two to settle in at 14th. The rest of the Blue Jays rounded out the top 50. Amspacher scored an overall 181, good for 31st. Forbes settled in behind Amspacher at 32nd, tying three other golfers with a score of 182. Good tied for 42nd place with a 189.
Both Laudeman and Blanco stated that the pin placement made the course more difficult. "A lot of the pins were on the ridges, so it was hard to be aggressive with shots or putts," Laudeman said. However, the team was excited to be competing in the CC Championships overall. "We were all hoping to play a little bit better, but it was a fun year, and we look forward to making a run at the title next year," Laudeman said.

Mark your calendar for Friday, July 26. Right here in Somerville, Fox 25 will be broadcasting their Friday morning ZIP TRIP to Somerville from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. from Union Square.

They have all sorts of things they are going to be talking about here in Somerville, restaurants, historic places, groups and sports organizations. This is your opportunity to welcome them to Somerville and show off what we here in Somerville love about the city. The reasons why more and more people are realizing what we have. Look here online and in the paper next week for details on what will take place. If you have a group or organization you want to show off, this is a good time.
This year's ArtBeat will be held this weekend starting Friday evening, July 19, 6 – 10 p.m. and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, July 20, around Davis Square. This year's theme is micro – which will be represented throughout the festival from the tiny performers of the flea circus to micro crafts and food. For the schedule and longer descriptions of performers go to http://www.somervilleartscouncil.org/artbeat/2013.
Happy Birthday this week to some local Villens and to our Villen fans who are located in foreign territories.

The Committee to Elect William (Willy) Medeiros for Alderman At Large is having a campaign kickoff Wednesday, July 31 at the Somerville City Club from 6 to 8 p.m., 20 Inner Belt Road, Somerville. Donations begin at $25. Medeiros is one of seven candidates running for the At Large seats. You can vote for up to 4 candidates but not until November. There is no primary.
At the Planning Board meeting last week at the Argenziano School regarding development proposals here in the city – the ones over the old Boys/Girls Club at 181 Washington Street being proposed by Somerville Community Corp. – the board members made their feelings known. It was three for it and three against, but no actual vote was taken, so that the developer can have one week trying to "win over that fourth vote." On July 18, according to the Chairman, a vote will be taken up or down. We're predicting an up vote. The Planning Board against the neighbors, what do you think?
On another issue regarding the large mixed use complex on Winter Hill at the corner of Temple And Broadway, the developers want to put a 58 unit mixed there, to the objection of Ward 4 Alderman Tony LaFaunte, who asked the Planning Board to vote it down and to deny it. He was going to propose a zoning change so this development won't go. It's too big and a lot of the neighbors are opposed to it. Watch for a continuance of the Planning Board, hopefully to deny the developers a permit. But this Planning Board, along with the ZBA, has denied very little to developers here. A lot of people across the city are talking about how much development is taking place and a lot of people don't like it. How do you feel about it?
Who's running for Governor from Somerville? There has been a lot of talk and whispers going around here in the city regarding two very prominent politicians. Word has it that Congressman Mike Capuano wants to run but word is also out that Mayor Joe Curtatone wants to run. Can the both of them run from the same city and nominate? Both men are very popular here in Somerville. It would be interesting, to say the least, to see what will happen. We might expect some answers within the next few weeks, maybe in two weeks, from both.
On the local front, even though it's summer and the heat is blaring, we see that candidates running in Ward One are out there and not taking any chances. Both the apparent front runner, Elio, and Marueen are knocking on doors, not taking anything for granted. We hear from our sources in Ward One that both are working hard. In Ward Three, Suzanne Bremer had her kickoff last night and one source said it was a respectable crowd she had. But you do have to give the edge to Bob McWatters, who's just beating down the bushes we hear in Ward Three, as well as Matt Desmond. Now, in Ward Five, Courtney has already worn out one pair of running shoes, we hear, and she's well on her way wearing out the next pair. She's young, intelligent, gracious and, we heard from one Ward Five resident, she's been out there in the heat. Don't count Mark out. He's relentless, we all know that. He's worn out several pairs of shoes in Ward five. He had a head start, but our sources in Ward Five say he's knows it's a GOTV and all about ID-ing those numbers.
Cavalia, Inc. has agreed to give preference to Somerville residents during interviews for jobs at the northeast U.S. premiere of Cavalia's equestrian ballet, Odysseo, coming to Assembly Row this summer. Cavalia will hold interview days for job applicants at its big top at 101 Grand Union Boulevard in Somerville, behind Home Depot, on Monday, July 29 and Tuesday, July 30. Employees with experience in customer service are sought, such as those who have worked front of the house for events and businesses, in hospitality, restaurants and bars or similar positions. Cavalia also seeks employees who can work long and flexible hours. Cavalia Inc. is applying for a permit that would allow up to a 12-week run at Assembly Row with a target opening night of August 7 and an initial target run of eight weeks, which could be extended to the full 12 weeks based on ticket sales.

Hi, I wanna share my first lesbian experience. I was 13 and at a sleepover with my cheerleader squad. We had the usual sleepover. Talking about boys, how big there penises were and other sick stuff. At about 2am we went to bed in our sleeping bags. This latino girl named Nikki woke me up around 3 and quietly asked me to get into her bed. The sleepover was at her house. Well I got in and she said quietly "I have a secret to tell you." I said OK what is the secret? She said "I think I'm in love with you." She then planted a kiss on my lips. I was kinda in shock. This was the first time ever that I was kissed by a girl. I returned a kiss to her lips. I know I really can't go into deep detail since I'm underage but let's just say "we had fun" with each other. We were both exhausted and sweating. We layed back down in each others arms and fell to sleep. She was my secret girlfriend for 2 yrs till she moved out of state.

So, since I did a video series last month, I thought to keep it going through April with a new theme…shaped cards! This theme was suggested by a blog reader and I thought it was a great idea to capture on video. It also helps me plan and know what to share each week. I'm not sure if I'll continue new video series each month, but the videos will keep rolling, so long as I'm not completely exhausted or otherwise busy. Man, that sounded like law school at the end there…sorry about that!
For my tooth update, I took some meds and got some rest and was feeling so much better yesterday, so I'm sure to make it until my dental visit next week to fix my nuisance of a pocket between two teeth. Thanks for your suggestions and recommendations on tooth pain remedies.
Alrighty, onto this card I made to share today. It's a scalloped circle card, which in my opinion is one of the most popular shaped cards created – circle/scalloped circle. Anyway, I wanted to use some of my new Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe collection.
For this card design, I used four-five different dies. Using dies is one of the easiest ways to create shaped cards; however, not the only way! Stay tuned to future episodes in this series on other ways. I prefer shaped cards that show off the full shape without the fold, so I hide the fold by adding it to the back of a second shape. You could also have the fold slightly show or add the shape on the card front to hide the fold line. There are a few different options there and it depends on your personal preference.
Take a look at this video on how I created this card:
Please note: You may view this card in the October 2011 issue of Cards magazine. The video will be replaced after November 2011.
This video may also be viewed on YouTube in HD. Please note, if the video stops during playback, pause the movie and allow it to load completely. HD videos take a little longer to buffer due to their size. Thanks for watching!
To use up some of the excess patterned paper from creating this card, I also designed a coordinating pillow box. This can be given as a gift along with the card for that special person who's turning…32! Seriously, I had no one in mind when making this card. I thought of everyone I could, but no one popped in my head. So, I used "32" the big number for me this year! HA
Here's a close-up of the pillow box. First, I stamped the polka dot background. Next, I added three strips of patterned paper, then added zig zag stitching. I assembled the box and added the floral trim, twine, and stamped tag with a button.
That's it for now! Have a great day!
Stamps :: Papertrey Ink – big birthday wishes, mega mixed messages (pillow box); DeNami Design – polka dot background (pillow box) Ink :: Close to My Heart – cranberry; StazOn – white (distress edges) Cardstock :: Papertrey Ink – lemon tart, white, pure poppy Patterned Paper :: Crate Paper – emma's shoppe 6×6 collection Embellishments :: May Arts – twine; Buttons and Such Etsy Store – buttons; Making Memories – floral trim (pillow box); Craft Supply – merchandise tag Tools :: Papertrey Ink – by the numbers dies; Lifestyle Crafts – banners & arrows, pillow box; Spellbinders – grand scalloped circles, standard circles large + small; Provo Craft – cuttlebug

After some testing it now seems to me that it's a flaw with python.exe! I noticed the problem only existed when I double clicked my program icon bringing up the white text on black background. And that it worked fine when running the program from IDLE (F5). >From a simple interactive walkthrough in the python command line (not IDLE): [code] f = open("æøå.txt", "w") f.write("test") f.close() [/code] creates a file named: '›†.txt (I hope it show up correctly in this email) If I did the exact same code in IDLE the file name would be correct i.e. æøå.txt! So I'm hoping one of you could help me with a workaround for this. Presumably it is a known bug? Or would I need to run the program through a shortcut that opens an IDLE session that then runs my program!? And how would I do that? (I'm kinda thinking out loud at this point :-) ) TIA Ole Jensen PS. also I just wanted to thank Kent for the criticism. I have already used some of the suggestions you made and am going to look into the os.path modules you mentioned.

The Association was founded on October 17, 1957 by Ian Aird of London, John Bruce of Edinburgh and J. William Hinton of New York. They were convinced of the need for closer ties between the surgeons of the two English-speaking countries.
The name of the new surgical association was not inappropriate, for the fourth Stuart King of Scotland throughout his reign was noted for his interest in scientific affairs. It is on historical record that he was "well learned at the art of medicine and also a cunning Chirurgener that none in his realm that used that craft but would take his counsel in all their proceedings:"The accounts of his Exchequer bear witness to his willingness to pay his subjects for the opportunity of trying his own hand at their surgical cure, or for the chance of pulling their teeth. He perished with the flower of Scottish chivalry in the last great battle between Scotland and England at Flodden in 1513.
The important function of the Association is to sponsor visiting fellowship opportunities for outstanding young surgeons from and to member countries. These travelling fellowships not only promote the exchange of surgical knowledge but also foster the kind of friendships that have meant so much to those who founded the Association and those who have since joined them.

This seems to work fine as my ATL generator runs nicely. However, when I open the generated file using the XText generated editor I see red marks all over the RegExs where backslashes are. Did I miss something? Perhaps it has something todo with the toValue method in IValueConverter? I don't know what that does. I placed custom backslash replace code in the toString method to handle a special case at serialization time. My code is as follows: public class RegExConverter extends DefaultTerminalConverters { @ValueConverter(rule = "RegEx") public IValueConverter<String> RegEx() { return new IValueConverter<String>() { @Override //TODO:Not sure what this method is really doing public String toValue(String string, INode node) throws ValueConverterException { if (string == null) return null; else //return this.toString(string); return string; } @Override public String toString(String value) throws ValueConverterException { if (value == null) return null; else //YANG/XSD gets upset with double backslash so we replace it with triple return '"' + value.replace("\\\\", "\\\\\\") + '"'; } }; } Thanks, Ronan]]> Ronan B 2013-04-25T15:44:05-00:00 Re: XText ValueConverter And Generated Editor Issue https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/482825/1049730/#msg_1049730 the purpose of the value converter is to transform the model file text content to the internal data representation *and back*. Hence the two methods toValue and toString. As for the errors shown in the editor, I guess you did not adapt the STRING terminal rule. It simply does not cover the input you want.

WARSAW (Jan. 25)
The Polish Government will not tolerate anti-Semitic barbarities, but economic changes are unavoidable, Premier Skladkowski declared last night, winding up a long debate in the Sejm on the Jewish problem.
"There is no place amongst us for racial conflicts," the Premier declared. "There is only a problem of over-population which falls into the economic domain. The economic battle we are waging is not directed against the Jews."
He added a warning, however, that Poland would "firmly resist any interference by foreign Jews in our domestic affairs, a thing which could only harm the Polish Jews."
Discussing the general relations of the Polish majority with various racial minority groups, the Premier declared that "no question of race hatred should trouble them, because Poland would suffer its consequences. The majority and the minority have the same rights and the same duties, above all the duty of loyalty to the Government, which works for the future of the whole Polish people."
During the debate, Deputy Wojceshowski, Government rapporteur, demanded adoption of a program similar to Rumanian Premier Octavian Goga's, calling for denationalization of several hundred thousand Polish Jews.
Current anti-Semitic propaganda is due mainly to the "excessive" number of Jews and the post-war "influx," the Government spokesman said, resulting in a foreign element alien to Polish culture, which antagonized Poles against the patriotic indigenous Jews.
He demanded that Polish citizenship conferred on "these alien Jews" for humanitarian reasons be considered temporary. He protested against the intervention of certain groups in America and England, in the name of humanity, in support of the Polish Jews.
The deputy appealed to rich countries, especially England, to remove from Poland those Jews of Russian origin who had entered Poland as "temporary guests" by taking international action to regulate the problem of Jewish emigration. He also asked Zionists to agree that it was impossible to have two fatherlands, Poland and Palestine.
Replying to the rapporteur, Deputy Emil Sommerstein appealed to the Government to give the Jews the possibility of cooperating with the Polish people for the good of the State. He denied that relations between the Government and the Jewish minority had improved.
"We cannot agree with anti-Jewish emigration plans," he said, refuting the charge of dual allegiance against Zionists.
"The Jews are ready to serve the Polish state with all their strength," Sommerstein declared. "It would be sufficient to apply the Polish constitution, which provides equality of rights for all citizens."

Peterstown West Virginia Golf Courses
|Fountain Springs Golf Course
Featured Golf Course Review:
|Fountain Springs Golf Course -- Not just a pretty view.
|Review by: Stephen P
|This is a nice course and is going to be extremely nice as it matures. Every hole has a beautiful WV scenic view. The tenth hole has an island green which cost me a few balls, but gave our party several good laughs. The tee boxes and greens on every hole are impeccable. The club house cured our thirst and appetite most effectively, and the great hospitality was most appreciated. Thanks to Fountain Springs for a memorable outing. Stephen P

Golf Courses: Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Fountain Springs Golf Course -- Suprisingly challenging course!
|Review by: Don French
|Nestled in a beautiful valley surrounded by the scenic Appalacian Mountains, you will find a little gem of a course you never would have expected. The terrrain is as challenging as it is beautiful. #10 is an amazingly long hole that you deserve a "high five" for if you come anywhere near the green on your 3rd shot. Other holes challenge your distance judgement due to the unique and sometimes severe inclines and dips. Overall, you will enjoy every aspect of the course and the price is right. The staff couldn't be more friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. Also, their supply of excellent golf equipment is unchallenged in the area. Finally, expect to see some amazing wildlife including deer, pheasant, turkeys and the occasional emu.

|Fountain Springs Golf Course -- fantastic views
|Review by: K. Jeffries
|A beautiful course, plays well, very forgiving lots of wild life, set in a quiet country setting, very friendly staff and well stocked snack bar. I will definitely come back!

Once upon a time in a vast land of what was a cross of reality and the unforeseen fantasy of the mind. There was once a little girl who tended to her grandmother whom was ill and had not much to do in the ways of traveling. Yet the old woman was... Crazed, demented even for she didn't know right from wrong and reality from fantasy. Hallucinations plagued her mind from time to time, often enough changing what she perceived as real. But Little Red Riding Hood knew not of this all but had occasionally visited her old grandmother in spite of it all the discouragement.
The little girl often visited her grandmother time and time again, bringing an assortment of treats, food and other gifts she often liked. She was a young girl of only about thirteen years of age, maybe fourteen at best. Everyday when she before going out and about through the lovely country, she would don her favorite bright red sweater of sorts complete with a hood. This sweater is what earned the little girl her nickname, Little red riding hood.
When she would set out, the basket she carried was filled with a few things for her sick grandmother. Homemade cookies baked in a fine oven, freshly baked bread made of wheat which always seemed to be her favorite. With a bouquet of red flowers to top it all off, the little girl had set out on her walk to her grandmother's house. Out in the country, there was hardly a neighbor for a mile or two down either end of the road. Lush rolling hills and tall fine oak trees tower over the local flora nearby little red riding hood's house. Skipping along after bidding leave to her mother, she traveled up and along the old dusty road that sprawled all throughout the forest.
As little red riding hood headed toward her grandmother's house, her grandmother was at home sitting in bed. Alone in the wide bed she sat with heavy woolen blankets over her lower half. With pale grey hair thinned from age her bony features lined her face and gave a sort of a skeletal appearance. The solemn eyes stared vacantly, devoid of what she may have felt and just simply stared at the wall. She rose her hand, skinny and pale as it was, and curled her fingers in till she was pointing. Pointing at a wolfish grin that slowly faded into her gaze.
"Wolf..." She whispered, barely audible to whom who would hear it. Again the image flickered in her eyes and she repeated the word, speaking it over and over as she still stared at the wall with a blank daze.

Volume 1 No. 34
Page 2 Col. 3b-4a
We have had occasion to publish two addresses of General Washington to the Cherokees. We are glad to present another of that great man.
My Children- I am glad to see you and take you by the hand after so long a journey. I rejoice that you are all in good health and I bid you heartily welcome to this City.
I am made acquainted with the talks you have had with the Secretary of War, you may depend upon what he may say to you in my behalf.
My Children.- I am very sorry that since I took some of you and others of your nation by the hand about two years ago in this City that disturbances and hostilities have happened between your nation and some of the white inhabitants upon the frontiers.- It is unnecessary for me to enter upon the particulars of those unhappy events, as we now mean to bury deep and forever the red hatchet of war. Let us therefore forget past events, let us endeavour (sic) to find out the means by which the path between us shall be kept open and secure from all harm. you (sic) must restrain your bad young men from stealing of horses and murdering our frontier people. Unless You (sic) have force sufficient for this purpose peace will never be established. The frontier people will not suffer their property to be stolen, much less will they suffer their friends to be murdered without seeking satisfaction.
We shall endeavor to keep in order the white young Men and prevent their doing you any injury.
The Secretary of War has spoken to you my mind about the lands upon Cumberland. These have been confined by the two treaties of Hopewell in 1785 and of Holstein in 1791- More than ten thousand people are seated on those lands and they cannot be removed.
The treaties which have been made cannot be altered. The boundaries which have been mentioned must be marked and established so that no disputes shall happen or any white people cross over it.
But in order to convince you that the United States are desirous that you and your families should be comfortably clothed, your annual allowance of one thousand five hundred dollars will be increased to the amount of five thousand dollars yearly. The Secretary of War will consult you for the purpose of furnishing you with the articles which shall be acceptable to your nation and you shall take the amount of one years allowance home with you.
Besides this quantity which will be for the whole Nation, I have directed that you who are present, and your families should be well clothed and well treated in all respects.
This liberal allowance independent of all former considerations will be of mucher (sic) greater value to the whole nation than could possibly be obtained by Hunters from off the small spots of ground upon Cumberland or elsewhere which any of you may be desirous of having returned.
The Secretary of War will endeavour (sic) to find an Agent who shall reside among you in the heart of your nation to advise you in all cases and to protect you from all injuries.
Anything further which you may have to say you will communicate to the
Secretary of War in whose charge I leave you being obliged myself to go to Virginia.
He will take care to have you returned to your nation with the goods which shall
be provided for you.
Philadelphia June 14th 1794.

Brian Wilson's storied career as a songwriter and founding member of the Beach Boys got off to what could have been a discouraging start when he was still in high school.
While he a student at Hawthorne High School back in the 1950s, Wilson was given a failing grade in a music composition class. The song in question would go on to become the Beach Boys debut single, "Surfin.'"
Related: Two Previously Unreleased Brian Wilson Songs to Appear on 'Playback'
The single peaked at #75 on the U.S. charts, and would launch one of the most legendary acts in music history.
Hawthorne High's current principal, Dr. Landesfeind, has taken it upon herself to revise Wilson's failing grade into a sparkling A+.
Both Wilson's official account and Hawthorne High shared Wilson's new grade on social media.
"Guess who dropped by HHS to appeal that grade Fred Morgan gave to him?," the school posted on Twitter. "Dr. Landesfeind signed the grade change! Brian Wilson now has an A on that assignment!"
"Brian's high school music teacher Fred Morgan: 'Brian wrote a composition for me and it turned out to be 'Surfin.' That composition got an F, but it made a million dollars,'" Wilson wrote on Twitter. "Brian's failing grade has now been changed to an A on this assignment by Dr. Landesfeind!"

Who is the beneficiary of a man-made, deliberately released virus?
2004: Emerging zoonoses and pathogens of public health significance
Infectious diseases have helped shape the course of human history and there is every indication that these diseases will continue to be significant global events. A number of driving forces and societal changes are now creating an unprecedented environment that favours the expansion and perhaps even acceleration of a group of these diseases termed emerging or re-emerging zoonoses.
In a recent publication by the United States Institute of Medicine entitled Microbial Threats to Health, Emergence, Detection, and Response, the authors suggested that a group of factors are swirling and converging to create a perfect microbial storm. This metaphor helps describe the conditions and dynamics that have produced a new era of emerging diseases that began approximately 25 years ago. From the centre, or eye, of the perfect microbial storm, a group of zoonotic pathogens of significant public health concern are emerging.
Microbes continue to evolve and adapt and now, with the tremendous acceleration and expansion of global trade, human movement and travel and the burgeoning global population of both people and animals, the microbes have an even greater opportunity to adapt, change, and be transported to new hosts and ecosystems, often with catastrophic results. Changes in our weather, climate, ecosystem, animal production systems, economic development, and land use continue to alter the dynamic between hosts, vectors, and microbes in novel ways.

Animal-Human Hybrids
Scientists have begun blurring the line between human and animal by producing chimeras - a hybrid creature that's part human, part animal. ...human cells with rabbit eggs... pigs with human blood... mice with human brains
"Research projects that create human-animal chimeras risk disturbing fragile ecosystems, endanger health, and affront species integrity."
"One doesn't have to be religious or into animal rights to think this doesn't make sense," (says Jeremy Rifkin). "It's the scientists who want to do this. They've now gone over the edge into the pathological domain." "
...a new class of organisms is likely to emerge. These organisms will be artificial in the sense that they will originally be designed by humans. However, they will reproduce, and will "evolve" into something other than their original form, they will be "alive" under any reasonable definition of the word. ...The pace of evolutionary change will be extraordinarily rapid. ...The impact on humanity and the biosphere could be enormous, larger than the industrial revolution, nuclear weapons, or environmental pollution. We must take steps now to shape the emergence of artificial organisms.

Tiny robots powered by living muscle have been created by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles. ...The devices were formed by "growing" rat cells on microscopic silicon chips, the researchers report in the journal Nature Materials. ...Less than a millimetre long, the miniscule robots can move themselves without any external source of power.
"Nanotech researchers have built tiny self-assembling machines that even grow their own muscles from cells taken from living animals. ...Besides just blurring the line between organism and machine, the first of these nano-bio-bots may signal a breakthrough in how to mass produce bio-machines: The hybrid devices were grown on silicon chips using the same principles and some of the same technology employed to make integrated circuits. ...The work is a dramatic example of the marriage of biotechnology with the tiny world of nanotechnology. ...the cells assemble, then they undergo a change, so that they actually form a muscle. ..."Now you have a device that has a skeleton and muscles on it to allow it to move." ...Under a microscope, you can see the tiny, two-footed "bio-bots" crawl around.
"I can make hundreds of thousands as easily as I can make one," said lead nanotechnology researcher Carlo Montemagno of the University of California, Los Angeles. ..."They're absolutely alive," Professor Montemagno told BBC News. "I mean the cells actually grow, multiply and assemble - they form the structure themselves. So the device is alive."
Fly-eating robot powers itself
Customizable, Self-assembling Nanotubes
"One of the projects DARPA is currently supporting is work by a team at Michigan State University's College of Engineering, who are developing
reconfigurable micro-robots for use in military, intelligence and law enforcement ...."
Pentagon plans cyber-insect army
The Pentagon's defence scientists want to create an army of cyber-insects that can be remotely controlled to check out explosives and send transmissions. ...The idea is to insert micro-systems at the pupa stage, when the insects can integrate them into their body, so they can be remotely controlled later. ...A similar scheme aimed at manipulating wasps failed when they flew off to feed and mate.
Ed. Note: What happened to the wasps - and their nano-parts - after they "flew off to feed and mate"?
"The combined integration of PNI and gold with silicon-based microdevices has allowed us to fabricate the world's first self-assembled muscle-powered micro-robots," stated the scientists' research paper. ...The team is now trying to apply the system to piezoelectric materials which produce electricity when compressed. If successful this will allow glucose, described as a ubiquitous renewable resource, to be used to create power.
Solar Nano-Power
"These flexible photovoltaics could harness half of the sun's spectrum not previously accessed." ..."We made particles from semiconductor crystals which were exactly two, three or four nanometres in size. .." ...Then, they tuned the tiny nanocrystals to catch light at very short wavelengths. ..."The key was finding the right molecules to wrap around our nanoparticles... Too long and the particles couldn't deliver their electrical energy to our circuit; too short, and they clumped up, losing their nanoscale properties. It turned out that one nanometer eight carbon atoms strung together in a chain was 'just right'."
Super Microbes Eat Radioactive Waste ...sponsors at the Energy Department doubt the public is ready for the release of this laboratory-engineered bug into the environment. It might eat nuclear wastes, but they worry about what else might it do...
Molecular evolution by design
A group at UIUC has announced a process that may be called managed evolution. It involves using multiple steps where by successive approximation they evolve a protein in the direction of having the properties they desire. This significantly reduces the amount of labor involved in the evolution and screening process.
The authors conclude that their new method may provide "a general approach to engineering biomolecules and biosystems such as receptors, enzymes, antibodies, ribosymes, DNAzymes and viruses with novel functions."
The notion that the world around us is continuously evolving is a platitude; we rarely grasp its full implications. We do not ordinarily think, for example, of an epidemic disease changing its character as the epidemic spreads. Nor do we think of evolution in plants and animals ocurring in a matter of days or weeks, although it does. And we do not ordinarily imagine the green world around us as a scene of constant, sophisticated chemical warfare, with plants producing pesticides in response to attack, and insects developing resistance. But that is what happens, too.
If we were to grasp the true nature of nature - if we could comprehend the real meaning of evolution - then we could envision a world in which every living plant, insect, and animal species is changing at every instant, in response to every other living plant, insect, and animal. This restless and perpetual change, as inexorable and unstoppable as the waves and tides, implies a world in which all human actions necessarily have uncertain effects. The total system we call the biosphere is so complicated that we cannot know in advance the consequences of anything that we do. ...That is why even our most enlightened past efforts have had undesirable outcomes - either because we did not understanbd enough, or because the ever-changing world responded to our actions in unexpected ways.
Sometime in the twenty-first century, our self-deluded recklessness will collide with our growing technological power. One area where this will occur is in the meeting point of nanotechnology, biotechnology, and computer technology. What all three have in common is the ability to release self-replicating entities into the environment.

In the Golem project (Genetically Organized Lifelike Electro Mechanics) we conducted a set of experiments in which simple electro-mechanical systems evolved from scratch to yield physical locomoting machines. Like biological lifeforms whose structure and function exploit the behaviors afforded by their own chemical and mechanical medium, our evolved creatures take advantage of the nature of their own medium - thermoplastic, motors, and artificial neurons. We thus achieve autonomy of design and construction using evolution in a limited universe physical simulation, coupled to off-the-shelf rapid manufacturing technology. This is the first time robots have been robotically designed and robotically fabricated.

Dooms Day Conspiracy
Reading comments on the match day moments during our ill fated match in Turin yesterday and subsequent trends after the match, I felt it necessary to drop one or two lines about my opinion our team as whole.
Starting with the team selected by the coach to start the match, one thing we forgot was that even when the team played Cesar at right wing we played better than when Moses came in? We were a goal down and we still had lots of chances to score.
If we will be truthful with ourselves when Moses and Torres came in how many scoring chances did we have?
Please let's all re watch the match and then make our sincere analysis. At least, we had 3 clear cut scoring chances in the 1st half which if we had taken would have changed the complexion of the match.
It's just a rough patch, we are almost out of the Champions League fine, and people are shouting as if it's dooms day, Manchester City are already out and nobody is saying anything, Manchester United went out in the group stage last season and ended the season wining nothing, Arsenal have not won anything in the better part of 7 years and are 6th in the league at present yet they all are not talking about sacking their coach.
Chelsea fans and board are the most pathetic of the teams in the top flight in the EPL, we are currently 3rd on the log with just 4 points separating us from the league leader yet we react as if we're in the relegation zone, Real Madrid is 3rd in their league with about 7points separating them from Barca yet heaven is not falling.
Immediately we lost yesterday some idiotic newspaper carried a news about RDM been sacked and Benitez taking over describing our team as an 'AILING' team, all this is quite annoying but the bottom line is, we as CFC are the main cause of our problem panicking when there is no need to.
It's still a long season we are just in Week 13 of 38, it is only a fool that will say our season is over. The teams problem is there for all to see, get 2 prolific strikers (before the beginning of the season I wrote an article titled 'Why not Van Persie' when it was obvious that he is set to leave Arsenal then, but people said we don't need him, all that is history now because he is the only bright spot in a rather lethargic Man U team, imagine RVP in this our team ) and probably 2 good midfielders in the mode of Willian and Fernandinho to complement those we already have, so as to suit team rotation or even recall those we have outside De Bruyne, Essien or even McEachran.
In as much as people complain about the defence I still feel we are okay at the rear it is the midfield and the attack that is making our defence look so obviously bad, take Man U for example, nobody complains when they concede because the attackers will actually score.
My summation, leave RDM to finish the job he has started, fix our teams frailty as the squad is too thin especially in the attack, if all this is done I see a great team evolving, because sincerely I haven't seen a Chelsea team play with such fluidity as this teams does at the beginning of the season, so all we need is just tighten the loose ends and we will be good to go. After all its not doomsday.

ABC's "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" are about to see more drama, this time off-camera thanks to a new lawsuit being brought against the shows.
The two plantiffs, both African-American, went to a Nashville hotel to audition and claim they were rejected because of their race. Upon arriving at the hotel, a producer asked one of the men what he was doing there.
Both also claim that they were taken to a side room, away from the regular audition location, and that neither men were called back.
They are expected to file a class action lawsuit in federal court Wednesday morning against ABC, Warner Horizon Television, Next Entertainment, NZK Productions and show creator Mike Fleiss.

As autumn arrives to mark the end of our Indian summer, the Castle is becoming increasingly busier and lively. In the next few weeks you may see a lot of fresh faces and keen novices hanging off the walls. Every October universities from around London, such as UCL, will be bringing new climbers to the Castle to let them try climbing for the first time. We are delighted that they have chosen the Castle as a space for their new climbing club members to have a go and learn the ropes in a safe environment.

We crashed onto the grass around halfway up Peel Hill and just lay there completely motionless, recovering from the short yet relentless climb.
The sun felt so good against my skin; its warmth soothing and rejuvenating at the same time. Then there was the incredible view.
The ancient ruins of Peel Castle, a medieval marvel shrouded in mystery and legend, stole the show to the left while the beautiful sun-drenched coastline with its creamy sand beach and grassy cliffs could be seen straight ahead.
The picturesque harbour was visible when standing up, back-dropped by the village's quaint building facades and rooftops in chalky white, grey and brown. It was just gorgeous to sit back for a moment and take in the impressive scenery.
Peel is a fishing town on the Isle of Man's stunning west coast. Well, strictly speaking it's a city due to the presence of a cathedral.
I've been here a few times on previous visits and the scene is always different depending on the weather. Last time during the autumn, the beach and castle looked like this…
But this time when the sun was out, we were greeted with a much brighter picture…
When you walk up along Peel's promenade towards the castle, there's another little beach, Fenella Beach, hidden between the cliffs that can be accessed down a slope.
During June, it was filled with piles of scallop shells. The Isle of Man is famous for its Queenie Scallops that are exported to restaurants across the world and it was getting towards the peak season. Most of the shells were in pieces, but I was happy to find one that was almost complete. I've now got it displayed on a shelf at home.
Another thing. No trip to Peel is complete without a visit to Davisons Ice Cream Parlour where numerous award-winning flavours are temptingly laid in a colourful display.
Banoffee, chocolate orange, coconut and lime… the most delicious flavours imaginable can be found here!

Economist, professor, author and political commentator Robert Reich. (photo: Richard Morgenstein)
Long on Description – Short on Prescription
by George Kennedy
Robert Reich is among the most thoughtful and prolific of the Liberal bloggers today. Why not? If anyone speaks to and for "everywoman" and "everyman", Reich does. He speaks a language that strikes at where most Americans live – often just barely.
In a July 2 piece "Freedom, Power, and the Conservative Mind", Reich makes the obvious and painful point that American society concentrates income, wealth, and power at the top of America. Nothing new so far. Laws and rules "tilt the playing field ever further in the direction of corporations and the wealthy."
The laws and rules, Reich reminds us, were not shaped democratically nor do they reflect the values and preferences of most people. He then goes on to cite specific laws that tilt in favor of the 1 percent and he concludes on the note that our "free-market" economy "is not expanding options and opportunities for most people. It's extending them for the few who are wealthy enough to influence how the market is organized."
My concern with this piece is that at a time when most Americans are over the economic precipice, or clinging desperately to the edge, Reich is long on description (of the problems) and abysmally short on prescriptions. Most Americans understand the impact of rules that concentrate power in the hands of the wealthy and corporations.
I would offer that most people feel powerless to effect change, or how "to influence how the market is organized." Often, you hear a familiar lament: "I am only one person – what can I do?" Or, "I can't change anything so why vote? They ignore me anyway."
What would Robert Reich have "most people" do in response to the storm of inequality he describes? The economic apocalypse that engulfs millions of American households is analogous to a gathering storm visible to most but we are left to wonder, where does it end? Am I going to get hurt this time?
I may have missed the intended audience for this particular piece. If Reich believes conservatives have a "very parched view of freedom", was his purpose then to shock conservative sensibilities in search of a misplaced conscience?
Americans are desperate and therefore less likely to find utility in being reminded of the obvious.
Mr. Reich, we may not be as eloquent as you are in describing the problems we grapple with daily but we do understand the impact of the laws and rules that increasingly discriminate against us. What we want are ideas, solutions, or relief? What would you have us do? And, please be specific!
