Money for Sports But Not Citizens: Brazil Protests
Hundreds of thousands of citizens filled the streets of Brazil this week. It's the kind of crowd you'd expect to see for the World Cup or Summer Olympic games, but those are still a year and three years away, respectively. Instead, this assembly was comprised of local protestors, calling for the government to make smarter financial decisions.
In particular, Brazilians are outraged at the amount of federal funds being allocated toward these upcoming international sporting events at the expense of the people. It would be one thing if the economy was thriving, but the government has otherwise instituted harsh austerity policies across the nation. Taxes and transportation fares have been raised significantly, while social services and education funding has been greatly slashed. These measures are not only further crippling the already impoverished, but also driving more Brazilians into poverty.
In anticipation of the World Cup, Brazil is constructing and/or remodeling several enormous stadiums. Initially, these projects were expected to cost about $3 billion (US), but more recent figures put the total estimate for World Cup infrastructure at nearly $14 billion (US). Moreover, citizens had been assured that private money would be utilized to fund these stadiums, yet those private benefactors never materialized: over 90% of the costs thus far have been covered with public money.
The Olympic projects are another giant expenditure in their own right. Though the common narrative is that the Olympics are a boon to the local economy, research routinely shows otherwise. The best some cities seem to be able to claim is that they broke even, while other cities are still paying their debts off decades after the Olympics.
Sure, some working class people will be hired for these events, but these jobs will only be temporary. Meanwhile, the money that comes in from tourism will largely fall into the hands of the already rich. Hosting international sporting events may provide a temporary source of pride for Brazilians, but maintaining hospitals, schools and an affordable cost of living are ultimately far more important to the nation's well-being. Besides, residents who can't afford a bus fare increase are also unlikely to be able to attend the World Cup or Olympics anyway.
Brazilian Carla Dauden eloquently explains her opposition to the sporting events. Her video has already attracted over half a million views in just one day.
To be fair, Brazil is not alone with its warped sports-over-people priorities. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel just closed over 50 public schools due to a budget deficit, yet then found the money to allocate $100 million to a new basketball arena.
Since Brazil has little precedent for protests of this size, it indicates the growing frustration and lack of faith the people have in its government. Smaller protests have occurred in Brazil for about a month now, but participation swelled to 100,000 in Sao Paulo alone on Monday. Several other cities around the country attracted large numbers, as well, including Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Belem and Curitiba.
The increased turnout has, in part, been credited to some highly publicized incidents of police brutality against unarmed protesters. In a country where citizens have long complained about the police's ineffectiveness against preventing violence in the streets, it is especially maddening to see the police proceed to enact violence on peaceful dissenters. This brutality mirrors actions in other countries around the world where the police state attempts to violently enforce the status quo against a growing number of citizens who are looking for change.
Meanwhile, Brazilian officials probably can't wait for the World Cup to arrive. There's nothing like sports to distract people from politics and the world around them. Something tells me, however, that the Brazilian populace is much too aware to remain merely spectators in these decisions made about their lives.

Originally Published on TheBoombox.com.
Singer Frank Ocean previewed tracks off his highly-anticipated debut album, Channel Orange, Thursday (June 21) at KMA Studios, tucked above the forever bustling streets of Times Square in New York City.
The 24-year-old's fans will be excited to know the album has a feature from Andre 3000on a song titled "Pink Matter."
With Channel Orange, due July 17, the Odd Future crooner delivers more than just a solid record; he's a storytelling genius on the LP, a quality that has been missing from many new artists. The tracks are pulled together by experimental interludes including video game sound effects, dialogues and planes taking off and crashing.
The album borrows from a mixture of genres, with elements of jazz, rock and electro sprinkled throughout the R&B-centric songs. There's also ranges in tempo, incorporating a sometimes heavy and cold feel but at other times a warming effect. Ocean's voice smoothly crusades along the tracks into a deep, soulful fantasy world, conjured up from his own wondering mind.
Once inside this sphere, Ocean takes on topics of love, alienation, drug use, religion and philosophy, similar to his Nostalgia, Ultra mixtape, released in February 2011. But this time, he adds bang and boost to the sounds with live instrumentation that accompany his lyrics. Ocean's words are full of vivid imagery, which also serve as a mirror to reflect society's beauty and flaws.
On "Super Rich Kids," led in by a piano, he highlights absentee parents who allow money to raise their children. "The maids come around too much/ Parents never come around often enough," the New Orleans native sings.
Throughout the album, Frank Ocean gives a view of conflict and sorrow, never concealing his own vulnerability in not knowing all the answers to his problems.
During the Andre 3000-assisted, down-tempo track "Pink Matter," he ponders, "What if the stars and skies are a show/ And the aliens are watching live?"
It's this visual irony that allows Ocean to create songwriting that transforms listeners' encounters with drab daily news, reality and heartbreak into audible refreshments.
"Thinking About You," the 10-minute long "Pyramids," "Forrest Gump" and "Voodoo," all tracks either previously released or those he previewed for fans while on tour, will also be on the album. However, there are many more unreleased goods that round out the impressible opus.

New York Times best-selling author RaeAnne Thayne brings us two stories from her Outlaw Hartes series. These couples may not be looking for love, but they are about to find it!
The Valentine Two-Step
He had been bamboozled by women before, but for rancher and single father Matt Harte, this is the last straw! Because of his daughter's shenanigans, he's been roped into planning the annual Valentine's Day dance. And who's his partner on the committee? Beautiful big-city vet and recent Salt River transplant Ellie Webster, the woman he can't take his eyes off of - though not for lack of trying!
Cassidy Harte and the Comeback Kid
Ten years ago Cassidy Harte stood at the altar waiting for Zach Slater, but he never showed. So she did the only thing she could - held her head up high and swore off men.

"Great Stories"
Very enjoyable stories. I've never read this author before but I will definitely read more from her now. Like the second book in the series. For some reason this was book 1 and 3 of the series.
Awesome narration by Kaleo Griffith...which is the main reason I purchased this audio book.

Mother of Courtney Stodden Supports Daughter's Marriage, Real Breastsby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Courtney Stodden is a 16-year old who married a 51-year old, veteran actor Doug Hutchison.
But the aspiring singer's mother sees nothing wrong with this union, giving it her full blessing in a statement released soon after news of the couple's May 20th wedding went public this week:
"We are totally supportive of this marriage," said Krista Stodden, who had to sign off to make it legal. "Doug is a wonderful man and we love him. They are very much in love and we are so supportive of this. Courtney was a virgin when she married Doug. She is a good Christian girl."
Mrs. Stodden also wants to set the record straight about her daughter's body, adding: "She has real breasts, real lips, she's not plastic."
Awww, so as you can see, Courtney and Doug are just two people who met, fell in love and... wait, what?!?
What do you think of the relationship between Stodden - whose career, based on the video above, needs all the help it can get - and Hutchison?

Electrical problem
2001 Pontiac Grand Am 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 100000 miles
Hello. I have a 2001 grand am with 100,000 miles on it. The car will not automatically lock and the interior lights will not go out when I put it in drive like it is supposed to, but sometimes it will after a little time of driving and all of a sudden it will lock. I have the interior lights shut off now to avoid this problem. The other issue I have is that only the bottom half of the rear window defroster works. I was wondering what could cause these issues. Thanks for your help.
have the same problem?

We are thrilled to be able to make this donation. The original Fisher House is at capacity and we are anxious for the second home to get off the ground to serve even more of our military families in need.
Puyallup, WA (PRWEB) September 01, 2012
On Tuesday, August 28th, Toyota of Puyallup President, Kerry Bivens, presented The Fisher House Foundation at Joint Base Lewis McChord with a check for twelve thousand four hundred and fifty dollars ($12,450.00) toward the construction of a new Fisher House. The Fisher House Foundation constructs comfort homes to provide free, temporary housing to families of service members receiving medical care at military hospitals around the world.
This generous donation was a result of a fund-raising campaign that Toyota of Puyallup executed from May 17th through July 4th. During this time period, the dealership sold 249 new Toyota vehicles and contributed $50.00 from each sale toward the Fisher House project.
"We are thrilled to be able to make this donation," stated Bivens as she presented the check to Fisher House Manager, Jodi Land. "The original Fisher House is at capacity and we are anxious for the second home to get off the ground to serve even more of our military families in need."
On hand for the check presentation were members of Bonneville Seattle Radio Group, representing 97.3 KIRO FM, 710 ESPN KIRO AM and 770 KTTH AM.
The JBLM Fisher House was built in 1992 and has eight bedrooms, surrounding common living, dining and kitchen facilities. The average stay for a military family is two weeks and the house has operated at 100% capacity for the last three years. Last year, more than 300 families stayed at the Fisher House, at a savings of more than $450,000 in lodging expenses.
To make a donation to the Fisher House Foundation, visit http://mynorthwest.com/fisherhouse.
Toyota of Puyallup employs 115 people and will sell in excess of 2,500 new and pre-owned vehicles in 2012. Toyota of Puyallup is located at 1400 River Road - Puyallup, WA 98371. Phone: 253-286-6000 or http://www.toyotaofpuyallup.com

5th December 1872
The weather is fine. The wind is blowing
and the ship is sailing quickly.
The men are happy. We are sailing between
Cuba and Florida. We are going to be in
Florida soon. We are going to reach
Florida is three or four days...
This is the Captain of the ship.
He is in his cabin. He is writing in the
ship's log book.
The Captain writes in the log book every day.
He writes about the weather and he writes
about the ship. He also writes about the men
of the ship.
The ship is old. It is a sailing ship.
The wind blows and the ship sails.
The Captain and his men are going home.
They are going to rech home soon. They are
well and happy.
-"Captain! There's a strange ship near us.
Can you come on deck?".
Now the Captain and all the men are on deck.
They are looking at the strange ship.
-"It's a very strange ship. There's no name
on the ship. There are no men?"
The Captain is shouting, "Hallo! Is anybody
there? Can you hear me? Is anybody there?"
But there is no answer from the strange ship.
Where are the men on the ship?
Are they ill?
The Captain gets into a small boat.
Two men go in the boat with him.
They row across to the strange ship.
They are going to look for the men on the ship.
The Captain is on the deck of the strange ship.
The two men are with him. They walk along the
deck. They go to the ship's wheel.
There is nobody at the wheel. Nobody is
steering the ship. The ship is sailing in
the wind. The wind is steering the ship.
The Captain shouts: "Is anybody here?"
There is no answer. There is nobody on deck.
The Captain is below deck, He is looking for
the ship's men. He cannot find them.
Now he is in the cabin where the men eat.
There is a table.
There is food on the table. But who is going
to eat the food?
There is water in the jug. But who is going to
drink the water.
There is a cigar in the ashtray. But who is
smoking the cigar?
This is the Captain's cabin. But the Captain is
not here. There is nobody in the cabin.
There is a table and a chair. The ship's log
book and a photograph are on the table.
The ship's log is open.
The Captain reads the log book. He sees the
photograph on the table. He picks it up.
He looks at the photograph.
-"No! No! It can't be!"
The Captain looks at the photograph. It is a
photograph of a man. The Captain looks in
the mirror on the cabin wall. He looks at the
face in the photograph. They are the same.
It is a photograph of him self!
The Captain runs up on deck. There is thick
mist around the ship.
The Captain looks around. He can see nobody.
He can see nothing.
Where is his ship? Where are his men?
He cannot see the sun. He is alone.
I do not know the date.
Where am I? I do not know.
I am the Captain of this ship.
Where Am I going? I do not know.
What is my name?
What is the name of this ship?
I do not know. I am waiting ...
Another ship is going to take to my place.
Then I can rest.
I am waiting...

Find information about Ellsworth Community College international house, and registering for discussion sections and departmental electives. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. Consult with an academic advisor, to ensure that your chosen classes constitute a full-time course load, and fulfills major requirements. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Ellsworth Community College student housing information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Ellsworth Community College.
Living in a dormitory is a great option for new students, as it provides the comfort of being surrounded by other people while far away from home. However, the dorms can get noisy which makes studying difficult, and there's always someone who wants to talk to you late into the night. As you mature, you may feel that the independence of your own apartment is worth the additional expense.
Sharing an apartment with roommates is a common cost-saving option, and a quick visit to the off-campus housing office will let you know how much two-bedroom apartments near campus cost. Before you sign a rental contract, note the main elements of the length of the contract, when your security deposit may be returned, and on what conditions, and if you can sub-lease your apartment if you have to leave early. If you can't get your landlord to make repairs, can always contact free legal aid through the school's student services office. Beyond consideration for Ellsworth Community College international house, you may think about California Baptist University testing services for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

That's actually beside the point, although it's true.

Please, there must be some way of using https or at least viewing via https on the home page. I just found the cogwheel icon (or is it a star?) that, when clicked, gives http access to settings including account, password, public profile etc.
What the HELL is the point of having a secure login for the dashboard if it's not used globally for settings?
And I presume, eventually, you'll be doing away with our dashboards completely. So - will there be ANY security on WordPress.com again. Ever?
Excuse me, but I'm going to modlook this because I want an answer from staff.

What type of courage does Mrs. Dubose teach the children? What other events in the novel can you compare and/or contrast ?No!
- print Print
- list Cite
It was certainly hard for Jem to comprehend at first, but I believe he came to understand the depths of Mrs. Dubose's courage after Atticus explained all the facts to him. Mrs. Dubose shows that even while facing death, she was willing to commit to completing the painful decision she had made: To kick the morphine habit that had plagued her for so many years. As Atticus explained,
"It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what.
Atticus himself tells Jem that courage is not "a man with a gun in his hand." He may have been referring to the adulation that the kids had heaped on him after he had shot the mad dog. He seems to have been telling Jem that Mrs. Dubose's courage far exceeded his own when he picked up a gun for the first time in many years. No doubt Atticus did not consider his act one of bravery, but of necessity.
Mrs. Dubose was addicted to morphine, However, she is determined to die without this addiction. Although she knows she is going to die and morphine would make her final days more comfortable, she does not want to leave this world reliant on this drug.
Atticus explains courage as knowing you are licked before you begin but forging ahead anyway. This is the case with Atticus taking on the Tom Robinson trial. More than likely, he knows he will not win the trail due to the racist attitudes of Maycomb; however, he still does the right thing by trying his hardest to defend and acquit Tom.

No I'm not talking about another show about stupid rich girls or dopey teenagers with low-self esteem but rather that MTV has announced that they will be making a movie based on Midway's game
The Suffering
. Hopefully they can capture the cool art style and monsters from the game and keep Uwe Boll as far away from this project as possible.
MTV Films Announces Agreement to Acquire Worldwide Film Rights to Midway's The Suffering
MTV Films Joins Forces with Stan Winston Productions and Circle of Confusion on Project
NEW YORK, NY - September 8, 2005 – MTV Films, a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA, VIAB), today announced that it has acquired an option on the worldwide film rights to the award-winning, action-horror videogame property The Suffering® from Surreal Software, a subsidiary of Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment industry publisher and developer.
In The Suffering, which was released in April 2004, the player controls the prisoner Torque, a hardened inmate sentenced to die for a murder he may or may not have actually committed. A sequel, The Suffering: Ties That Bindâ"¢ is scheduled to ship in September 2005 and lets players delve into the perverse world of Torque's sanity to discover his past and struggle to control his future. Both games were developed by Midway's internal studio, Surreal Software.
MTV Films is working in conjunction with Stan Winston and Brian Gilbert from Stan Winston Productions and Jason Lust and Rick Jacobs from Circle of Confusion on The Suffering's development as a feature film project. MTV Films' Senior Director Jason Weiss, who brought the project to the company, Gregg Goldin and David Gale will be developing on behalf of MTV Films.
"We are very excited to be working hand in hand with Midway to translate this innovative game into an edge-of-your-seat film," said David Gale, Executive Vice President, MTV Films. "Gaming is such a huge part of the culture for MTV's audience it makes perfect sense for us to work with Midway, Stan Winston and Circle of Confusion on bringing The Suffering to life as a feature film."
"The Suffering is a true action-horror experience with plenty of disturbing and twisted creatures," said Alan Patmore, president, Surreal Software. "We are extremely happy to be working with MTV Films to bring the terror to the big screen in what promises to be a groundbreaking horror film."
This film agreement with Midway closely follows a June announcement that MTV and Midway will jointly market three upcoming Midway games. L.A. RUSHâ"¢, which will feature MTV branding throughout the game world with the crew from the hit MTV show, "Pimp My Ride," West Coast Customs, will be the first title shipping under this deal.
About The Suffering: Ties That Bind
The Suffering: Ties That Bind is a revolutionary action-horror game that emphasizes the disturbing terror of its predecessor, with new twisted creatures and a few familiar faces. Set in the unforgiving streets and prisons of Baltimore, the player once again controls Torque as he seeks revenge against the mysterious grand manipulator Blackmore, a man somehow tied to the death of Torque's family. Players will explore the tough inner-city, with poverty and urban injustices trapping people just as effectively as a physical prison. The unique morality system returns, as players delve into the perverse world of Torque's sanity to discover his past and struggle to control his future.

WOLD – Working Together For Our Privacy
Comprised of three elongated instrumental tracks of harsh unforgiving blackened noise which could serve as the ultimate Wold endurance listening test, "Working Together For Our Privacy" is Wold at their most hypnotic and uncompromising.
Indeed WTFOP is a unique Wold listening experience not for the faint at heart or stomach, and definitely not for the weak of mind. And those who suffer from hallucinations or those prone to hearing voices, for better or worse, might find listening to WTFOP dangerous.
Wold mastermind/high priest Fortress Crookedjaw had this to say concerning WTFOP:
"'Working Together For Our Privacy' consists of three compositions; sound created within Wold's thought lodge. The songs can induce harsh trance aural formations and hallucinations. We sent out transformations through the sound ideas which manifested the transgressive waves. Priestly insignificance and reversal religiosity is diabolically executed in your tight virgin ears. The spies in the wires sparkle through like hoarfrost on machine pumps which distribute unconscious aural chemical reaction. The death machine ejaculates toxins but also provides a psyche sanctuary of sorts, but ultimately the inevitable takes hold. Death is the factor."
Along with the hypnotizing and mesmerizing artwork provided by artist Pippi Zornoza (www.dirtpalace.org/pippi) that graces the physical canvas of WTFOP, artwork that you will be beckoned to stare at while listening to WTFOP, it is advised to approach WTFOP with caution.
WTFOP has potential to cause mental dependency, severe psychological trips, latent dream states, and trance-like inducement.
Recorded in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada, tracklisting for WTFOP goes as follows:
1. The Secret
2. Death Spiral
3. Lovey Dovey

One aspect of Hobby Lobby that has received little attention is the Court's treatment, or really non-treatment, of what constitutes a "compelling interest." Justice Alito writes, "Under RFRA, a Government action that imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise must serve a compelling government interest, and we assume that the HHS regulations satisfy this requirement."
Here's what I would have written:
Under RFRA, a Government action that imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise must serve a compelling government interest, and we have no reason, beyond government assertion and our own personal opinions, to believe that the HHS regulations meet this exacting standard. While our jurisprudence has never been clear as to how to measure the "compellingness" of a governmental interest, it has to be something more than "an interest the government asserts in litigation is compelling." Here, Congress couldn't even be bothered to specify in the ACA that contraceptives must be provided by employers, "cost-free" or not, and instead simply delegated to HHS the authority to decide whether and to what extent contraceptives must be provided in a basic insurance package. Nor did Congress bother to exempt any part of the ACA from RFRA, despite surely knowing that some of the ACA's provisions could face RFRA challenges. Even accepting the fiction that HHS was simply doing Congress's unexpressed will and not simply reflecting the Obama Administration's political and ideological priorities, HHS then used its authority to provide various exemptions to this package
, in particular for religious non-profits. It's hard to see how an interest that is not sufficiently "compelling" to apply across the board suddenly becomes compelling when applied to a small group of another group ofemployers dissenting for religious reasons.
That said, the Court's "compelling interest" jurisprudence is a mess. The low point was reached in Roberts v. Jaycees, in which the Court rejected the Jaycees' First Amendment expressive association defense to a Minnesota law requiring them to give full membership rights to women. Justice Brennan emphasized that "even if enforcement of the Act causes some incidental abridgment of the Jaycees' protected speech, that effect is no greater than is necessary to accomplish the State's legitimate purposes." To the extent Minnesota's public accommodations law infringed on the Jaycees' right to freedom of association, it did so to advance compelling interests, i.e., eliminating gender discrimination and ensuring "equal access to publicly available goods and services." Because compelling government interests were served, the Jaycees' right to expressive association was trumped.
Here's what I wrote about this back in 1999:
Although the interest in forcing the Jaycees to admit women was purportedly compelling, federal law did not (and still does not) forbid public accommodations to discriminate on the basis of sex. The Court justified its decision by repeating the Minnesota Supreme Court's finding that Minnesota had a "strong historical commitment to eliminating discrimination." Bizarrely, a federal constitutional right was overridden by a state's claimed compelling interest, an interest not even protected by federal statute.
Another oddity in Roberts, as well as in other cases applying the compelling interest test, is that the Court considered the importance of eliminating discrimination in the abstract, rather than considering whether the state's interest in the particular case at issue was compelling. The underlying facts of Roberts hardly established a compelling case for interfering with a federal constitutional right… Thus, it appears that the state's interest in preventing sex discrimination by the Jaycees was not objectively compelling, but merely offended the Justices' sensibilities.
The Court for unexplained reasons refused to follow Roberts in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale. The scope of what constitutes a compelling interest is therefore unclear even in First Amendment cases, much less in RFRA cases. So while it's not surprising that the Court punted on the issue, I think Justice Alito should have at least clarified that a "compelling interest" will not be found when the federal government asserts such an interest in defending a statute but Congress has failed to act as if agrees.
UPDATE: A commenter points out, quite rightly, that Justice Kennedy's concurring opinion asserts that the government showed that the contraception rules did indeed serve a compelling government interest. So an obvious reason that the Court didn't address the compelling interest issue is that there were not five votes in the conservative side to define compelling interest narrowly, But there was five votes to find that the regulations were not narrowly tailored.
Also, as a historical aside, one reason that the late Eighth Circuit Judge Richard Arnold was passed over by Bill Clinton for the Supreme Court in favor of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is that Judge Arnold wrote a dissent favoring the Jaycees, leading to massive resistance to his appointment by left-wing women's groups. His opinion in that case was one of the last major gasps of traditional liberal civil libertarian jurisprudence before it was undermined by more collectivist trends on the left.

- A city of southeast Brazil on the Tietê River northwest of São Paulo. It is a trade center in an agricultural area. Population: 175,000.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
To say this guy "lost" $750K is the nothing more than raging narcissism; everything would be fine if the government cut him a little slack and didn't enforce the law.
Hey Biden, why dont you spend some more money and put us farther in debt, You guys are all A HOLES, REpublicans and Democrates alike, spend and spend, 750K for Harkin and Grassley, I will help anyone running agaist these two Iowa wastes to make them both UNEMPLOYED.
Howard, lets go to school shall we? btw, november and december pump up your 1994 numbers (we gained 750K jobs) but were unknown to voters. so yes, at the time people voted in 1994, job growth was relatively weak
PS: Yeah, kids: I saw the Democratic flash poll, and I saw that the current state of the potlatch is at, what, $750K at this point?
They were in rentals anyway, so … Read Morethey get to live in the 750K house for a few years and then move back to the rental with a supposed boat load of money.
Kelly Services has about 750K, McDonalds about 500K, UPS about 400K, and so on down from there.
Fourth, at last count the total cost to the district was on the order of $750K, including legal fees, security, and the court reporter.
If you recall, they lost Andrei Markov super early and had to scramble to pick up Marc-Andre Bergeron for $750K as a viable replacement.
Compared to the 2008 election, 750K fewer votes were cast almost 30%.
And, certain specialists really shouldn't be making 750K (or more!) off your health care.

Capital City: YellowknifeFind the 60th parallel on a map of North America, look northward, and you will see the Northwest Territories, bordered by the Yukon to the west, the prairies to the south, and Canada's newest territory, Nunavut, to the north and east. With the creation of Nunavut on April 1, 1999, the area of Northwest Territories was reduced from close to three and a half million km² to less than two million km². Approximately 41,900 people inhabit this region, and most live in small communities. Yellowknife, the capital, has a population of more than 20,000. Mining drives the territory's economy. Because of its northern locale, the Northwest Territories is often referred to as 'the land of the midnight sun'. During the summer months, there is almost continuous daylight as the sun seldom sets, while winter sees almost complete darkness. The aurora borealis or Northern Lights brighten the night sky from late August until January.The Northwest Territories offers many opportunities for enjoying the outdoors, including canoeing, hiking, snowmobiling and dog sledding.

The artwork of Sami Havia uses old cassette tapes, giving them a new life in a world that has already forgotten about their existence. Recreating some iconic album covers, he pays homage to the tapes' contribution in spreading music.
If you constantly had your Sony Walkman attached to your ears, you'd probably be able to name more than a few of the album covers that Sami Havia has painted on the cassettes.
Implications - As opposed to using highly priced materials in product designs or promotions, cost-conscious companies should consider the use of inexpensive objects. Despite the fact that these cassette tape artwork uses inexpensive cassette tapes as an artistic medium, the art still appears valuable and luxurious in nature.

Andre: Thank you for your comment. The F&O task force discussed this in the telcon this afternoon and decided to change the wording for fn:normalize-space function to say "replacing sequences of one or more than one whitespace character with a single space, #x20. All the best, Ashok ________________________________ From: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] On Behalf Of email@example.com Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2003 4:36 AM To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: [F&O] 7.4.10 normalize-space() Function It seems to me that the definition of the normalize-space() function is ambiguous. Sequences of more than one whitespace character are replaced by a single space. However, I don't think it is clear what happens if a single non-space whitespace character is encountered. I assume that it is intended that a single non-space whitespace character will be replaced by a space character. If so, I suggest that that needs to be stated more clearly.

Mumbai: Pollution threat set to double in Sion-Chembur
Air pollution levels in the eastern front is already higher than other parts of Mumbai and its residents face acute respiratory problem. Now the area faces yet another pollution threat
The highly polluted eastern front of the city faces yet another threat as the Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd (RCF) has decided to double the capacity of its plant at Sion-Chembur (Trombay).
Pollution surveys conducted by the BMC have also listed Chembur and its adjoining areas as highly polluted. Representation pic
Air pollution in the area is already higher than other parts of the city and its residents face acute respiratory problems. Union Minister of State, Chemical and Fertilizers, Hansraj Ahir announced in the city on Monday that the capacity of the Chembur plant would be doubled very soon.
When mid-day asked him whether such an expansion would not pose a serious health hazard given the already high pollution levels in the city, the unfazed minister said the expansion needed no further permission from the union ministry of environment. "The existing and running plants do not need any permission," he said.
RCF's Chembur plant produces urea and other chemical fertilizers, because of which the stench of ammonia lingers in the air perennially. Pollution surveys conducted by the BMC have also listed Chembur and its adjoining areas as highly polluted.
When Ahir was told that the citizen groups have opposed several plants, including Tata Power's plan to convert its oil-run thermal electricity unit to a coal-fired one, he said that the government would hear public sentiments about the RCF expansion plan.
The RCF website says the public sector unit has carried out a massive drive for tree plantation under the 'Chembur Green' Project. It says real-time emission levels are displayed through an illuminated board placed at the entrance of the factory for public viewing and complete transparency is maintained by the company in dissemination of environment-related information. Both the manufacturing units are accredited with ISO 9000 for quality and OHSAS 18000 for Occupational Health and Safety, it adds.
Bio-fertilizer plans
Ahir said the RCF has plans to use the bio (vegetable/grain) waste generated at Vashi APMC for making bio fertilizer at the Chembur facility. However, he said the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation wanted to use the waste for generating power at a proposed bio-energy project. The minister said he would meet CM Devendra Fadnavis in this regard.
No real estate development
Ahir said the RCF land in Chembur would not be opened up for real estate development even though the company had been working on a plan to convert a portion of the 300 acres of prime land it uses for employee residences into a commercial development of residential properties. The buildings are due for redevelopment. This land is part of about 800 acres in possession of RCF.

EDITORIAL: Weather shutdowns justified, but schools need better planning
Updated 1:35 pm, Friday, January 31, 2014
This week's bad weather was nothing like the ice storm that paralyzed this region on Jan. 12, 1997, but no one in power knew beforehand how bad it would be. Public officials made the correct call on Monday to close schools and governmental offices on Tuesday and in some cases Wednesday morning. It was not an overreaction; it was a prudent, safe decision.
As with hurricane evacuation orders, this is an inexact science. All that public officials can do is get the best information possible and follow their best instincts. And when in doubt, they should always err on the side of caution.
Just look at what happened in Atlanta, Ga. Shutdown orders came too late, and thousands upon thousands of schoolchildren and commuters were stuck at schools and on roads. It was a miserable, chaotic situation, and the victims would have given anything to avoid it.
It doesn't matter that this region's accumulated sleet wasn't that bad when it was all over. The weather forecasts were ominous enough to justify the decision.
It also doesn't matter that folks in Canada would have gone ahead with their business. News flash: This isn't the Great White North. We just don't have much experience driving on ice or snow.
The biggest problem was that schools will have to make up any days that were cancelled, and some districts didn't have this flexibility built into their calendars. This week's experience should remind planners not to assume that bad weather won't happen past hurricane season.
In the end, no tragedies occurred and road accidents were minimal. That's the best possible outcome with a cold snap, well worth any temporary inconvenience.

Skip to comments.Putin Goes After Global Cos Hiding Money Offshore
Posted on 06/20/2013 8:42:16 PM PDT by KMR
Hello Russia news Freepers. Tired of all this talk about companies hiding money offshore and not paying taxes? If there is one man who can make some noise about this, it won't be Obama. It'll be Putin. He already is taking over from British PM David Cameron who first made overtures to the fact that offshoring was unfair.
(Excerpt) Read more at forbes.com ...
The only reason these "dictators" are going after those offshore accounts is so they can their grubby hands on it. It's not about budget shortages or fairness. It's about seizing something they hink theyre entitled to because they say so and finding a way to funnel it into their own pocket. That's how arrogant sociopathic narcissists think.
The irony is that this is the same person(Putin) that gave Depardieu Russian citizenship by executive order - not long after Depardieu gave up French citizenship for tax reasons.
Yeah, nothing will keep us more free than international cooperation to ensure double taxation and confiscation.
It's the same thing obama did about the secret Swiss bank accounts and then used the information to blackmail the holders of those accounts into compliance. (my opinion)
True. But this is different, though. You and I can be millionaires in the U.S. and have high taxes and prefer to live in Costa Rica so we can pay less. But if you and I are living on the Isle of Mann, making money from Russia steel, incorporating the company in Cyprus, and paying nothing in taxes...that's different. We're not doing that. Depardeiau or however you spell his name, he wasnt doing that. Gov's want to crack down on that to bring in more revenue to, ideally, use it for good. Bwah ha ha hah aha hahahaha!!!!

Things are going well. This past Saturday was my 3rd brevet, and my 2nd 300k. I was more relaxed going into this event and my fitness level has increased since February. It showed big time. I'm trying to complete the Super Randonneur series this year, and I've already logged the 300k event, but I wanted some more practice. I've found some things to tweak and some weaknesses. That'll come later this week though.
The weekend started with some last minute prep (of course) and a half day of work. Then Bruce, Ryan and I made the drive up to San Luis Obispo. We stopped at Topanga Creek Bicycles on the way up to chat and discuss future bike parts. Vickie and Lance were very gracious (Huge Thanks!), and opened their home to the randonneurs coming in from all over. I think the farthest traveled award went to Carl from Arizona. We spread out at their house for some quick shut-eye. Then up at 4:30am for final preparations, some food and the pre-ride meeting and we were off.
Ryan getting some help from Shaun.
Our host Vickie on her new 'bent.
The town of Guadalupe. I'd been here once before by motorycle with my friend Mike. We came up for the day for steak and then rode home. It was cool to pass through it again, although very briefly.
I caught up to Shaun just before Guadalupe. I first met Shaun when I volunteered for his Urban Double earlier in the year. After that experience I became more interested in trying these longer rides. We paced each other and enjoyed some conversation all the way to Los Alamos. He's ridden the AIDS/Lifecycle event and pointed out some similarities between their route and the one we were on. Good company makes the miles fly by.
The first climb was Drum Canyon. It's about 3 miles, and I believe it was just under 1000ft of elevation gain. My rides up to Chantry Flats were perfect training for this climb. I completed the climb in about 24 minutes, which I was pretty happy with. I thought I still had more to go when I saw the summit, so that was a bonus.
From Los Alamos, around Mile 55, to Sisquoc at Mile 130 I was riding alone. I was trying to catch the tandem of Jack and Kathy, but they were too fast. After Lompoc I found Bruce working the control on Santa Rosa Rd. Thanks Bruce! I tried my first ever V8 (pretty good) and shed some more layers. After this control it was time to head back north, through Buellton, Solvang and Los Olivos.
Up Foxen Canyon we climbed up what was referred to as "The Wall" on the Solvang Metric Century. It sounds worse than it is. On that ride there were a ton of people, but today we were all alone.
I finished the climb up Foxen Canyon all alone and was pretty tired by the time I got to Sisquoc and it's lonely store. Carl and Jim were there already and soon Jack and Kathy arrived on their tandem. Carl suggested that we ride together to fight the headwind and so that's what we did. To be honest, I was a little nervous because I had never ridden in a paceline before. So I told myself that I would try to ride 10 miles with them and then ride the remaining miles solo. I was able to hold on though and we killed the next 20 miles in no time. We were flyin'! We all managed to stay together until the end, even finishing right at the end of daylight.
I had given myself a goal of a 15 hours to complete the brevet and not only did I make it, I beat it! By 15 mins! 14:45 for 188 miles! That's 3 hours faster than my previous 300k. I still can't believe it. I don't think that I'd have made it without the group and the paceline. The interesting thing to note is that my HR went down and my speed went up on the final 100k, all thanks to riding in the paceline.
I think I'm ready to move on to the 400k now. I've got some things to adjust/change on the Casseroll, and I'l be sharing those this week, so stay tuned.
Here are the Garmin stats.

They have a arrived! We finally have our wedding pictures, and boy howdy are we excited to share them. We know you have been waiting in almost unbearable anticipation (humor us), so we'll present them in a week-long wedding photo extravaganza! First up: the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
The wedding was at Blumen Gardens in Sycamore, Illinois. We didn't know yet, but a light summer storm was a'comin' on the actual wedding day. But we rehearsed as planned in the outdoor brick courtyard. Above are the ladies of the bridal party: Riley, the flower girl and daughter of Brian's cousin; Grace, the matron-of-honor; and Megan, the maid-of-honor.
Ours wasn't the only love blooming that weekend. For little Riley and Bryton, Sarah's little brother, it was love at first sight. When he wasn't wooing the flower girl, Bryton helped our photographer, Alex Creswell, out with some documenting of his own.
We had Stephen King as our officiant. No, not that Stephen King. This Stephen King was a friend of Carlie's, the groom's sister and best woman. Our Stephen King had a thick, gingery beard and a liking for fine whiskey. Beat that, other Stephen King!
It was a little muggy that day, but our bluegrass band pushed through it and delivered some fun tunes.
After the rehearsal, we all headed to Brian's parents' house for a laid-back dinner. I couldn't have imagined a better way to relax before the big day than with barbecue, beer, hay bales, and cool peeps. Thank you, Tim and Susan, for a hoppin' good time!
After a little chillin' in the backyard, we had an impromptu photo-op in the flowery field across the street. Pretty handsome bunch, no?
We imported a few British folk in to be our ushers. It's just hard to find that level of cuteness in American-made ushers…
Brian's parents also had a custom cake made with our wedding logo!
It was a wonderful start to our wedding weekend. Tune in tomorrow for photos from the big day! And for friends and family who want to order prints, we'll share the high-res photos with you soon.

Sense of smell troubles woman
Published 7:00 pm, Friday, October 2, 2009
Dr. Peter Gott
DEAR DR. GOTT: I'm an 81-year-old female in reasonably good health. I do my own housework, drive my own car, handle most of my yard work and walk for exercise. I have never smoked or used alcohol; however, for the past two years, I have had problems with smells and taste to the point where I cannot eat some foods that I used to eat all the time.
Smells that bother me are fumes from the gas range when it first starts up, liquid antibacterial soaps, perfumes and fabric dryer sheets. Coffee smells especially bad, as do cucumbers and onions. Foods and drinks that cause problems are beef and chicken when cooked in a slow cooker, cooked egg whites, cooked dry beans, tuna, soft drinks and more.
My throat is always red, and there is a spot on the top of my head on the right side that pains on occasion. I have no idea if this is related to my smell and taste problem. I had an MRI on my head, allergy tests, had my sinuses checked, and still have no answers.
I take Vytorin and fish oil for cholesterol, Levothyroxine for my thyroid, Nifedical for hypertension, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, a B complex, vitamin E and calcium.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
DEAR READER: I commend you for leading what appears to be an exemplary lifestyle. Now let's see what we can do to tackle your ongoing problem with taste and smell.
Foods, flowers, the ocean, a crisp winter morning, fresh rain and thousands of other things bring us unending pleasure because of our ability to taste and smell. These senses also have the ability to warn us of dangers such as fire, strong chemicals and more. Without the ability to taste and smell foods, people become uninterested in eating. This can result in weight loss and may affect overall health. Similarly, without the ability to smell the pleasures of life or potential warnings, we can miss so much and may be placed in harm's way.
There are several possible reasons for a loss of smell and taste. The first that comes to mind is nasal polyps blocking your sinus passages, infection, inflammation, some prescribed or over-the-counter medications, or even Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. Other medical conditions that can affect the sense of smell include diabetes, hypertension, obesity, malnutrition, multiple sclerosis, Korsakoff's psychosis and vitamin B-12 and zinc deficiencies. Infections and inflammation of the mouth (marked by swelling and redness), Bell's palsy and head injury can cause a loss of taste.
The Vytorin can cause headaches and nasal congestion. This could be the cause of your occasional head pain.
Nifedical can cause dyspepsia, gastroesophageal reflux and taste perversion. Levothyroxine can interact with anticoagulants. Fish oil in high doses can cause bleeding tendencies.
It may increase the activity of levothyroxine, which can lead to drug-induced hyperthyroidism that, in turn, can cause increased blood pressure.
As you can see, there are plenty of possibilities that your prescription medications and vitamins and supplements may be interacting to cause your current taste and smell issues. Discuss your symptoms and medications with your physician. During this visit, be sure to mention your over-the-counter supplements, as well. Ask your physician about the possibility of several of your conditions being the result of a drug interaction. A simple switch, reduction or cessation in medication may be all that is needed to solve the problem.
Because most people don't believe that supplements are harmful, they often do not mention them to their physicians.
This may be very harmful due to potential interactions, which can lead to unwanted effects ranging from mild to life-threatening.
Dosages are also important. Selenium, for example, if taken in high doses, can lead to a condition known as selenosis, which can cause hair loss, nerve damage, garlic breath and more. Excess zinc consumption can lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, copper deficiency and abdominal cramping. Both can cause interactions with certain medications.
Don't suffer with these symptoms. Let your physician know, and work with him or her to find the cause.
(Dr. Peter Gott is a retired physician and the author of the book "Dr. Gott's No Flour, No Sugar Diet.")

I'm a bit obsessed with making bread. I've gone through three bread machines in less than 18 months. Yes, three. Finally, I just decided to stop buying them, since they obviously can't keep up with my bread-consuming needs.
Also, I guess we eat a lot of bread.
I was hesitant to jump into making bread by hand after being spoiled by bread machines for so long. You can't get much easier than dumping in a bunch of ingredients, pressing start, and walking away. But I was determined to live without a bread machines. Especially the ones that stop working partly through the cycle, leaving you with a mess of ingredients and no freshly baked bread for the week. Which is a sad, sad thing.
So I started out with a whole wheat bread recipe from a friend. Which was successful. I moved on to the most complicated French bread recipe I could find, which was not so successful. Then came sourdough. And of course rosemary foccacia. All very, very successful.
Finally, I tackled French bread again. I was bound and determined that it would not get the best of me. A slightly different recipe, a little bit easier, and less time waiting for it to rise.
It was fantastic.
Plus, with this recipe you can make all sorts of variations. I made garlic French bread along with the traditional loaf. There are so many yummy things you can sprinkle in or on top of the loafs before baking. Plus, this recipe makes two large loafs, so you can experiment as you go, one traditional and one with cinnamon sugar perhaps.
My Sunday afternoons are often spent in the kitchen, making breads for the coming week. It does take a while. It's not necessarily a lot of work, but there's a lot of down time. Letting the dough rise, and rise again. Shaping it and letting it rise once more before finally baking. But that effort pays off nicely in the end.
I think it's safe to say that I've said good-bye forever to bread machines. Their ease just can't compete with the end results of making bread by hand.
French Bread
Adapted from AllRecipes.com
Prep Time: 25 Min
Cook Time: 40 Min
Ready In: 2 Hrs 40 Min
- 5-6 cups all-purpose or bread flour
- 5 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt {sea salt is wonderful}
- 2 cups warm water {110º F}
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon water
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, yeast and salt. Stir in 2 cups warm water and melted butter, and beat until well blended using a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
On a lightly floured surface, knead in enough flour to make a stiff dough that is smooth and elastic. Knead for about 8 to 10 minutes total. {Or knead in your mixer with the dough hook for 8 minutes on low-medium sped.} Shape into a ball. Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn once. Cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled {about 30 minutes to 1 hour}.
Punch dough down, and divide in half. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover, and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each half into large rectangle. Roll up, starting from a long side. Moisten edge with water and seal. Taper ends.
Grease a large baking sheet. Place loaves, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. With a very sharp knife, make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts about 1/4 inch deep across top of each loaf. Lightly beat the egg white with 1 tablespoon of water, and brush on. Cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until nearly doubled, 35 to 40 minutes.
Bake in a preheated 375º F oven for 20 minutes. Brush again with egg white mixture. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until bread tests done. If necessary, cover loosely with foil to prevent over browning. Remove from baking sheet, and cool on a wire rack.
Tips: For an even crispier crust, spray the loaves with water right before baking, then every 5 minutes for the first 10 minutes of baking.
Add-Ins: To make flavored bread, before rolling up the dough, add in the ingredients. The roll, sprinkle a little more on top, then continue on with the recipe.
- Butter, garlic and Parmesan cheese for garlic bread
- Butter, cinnamon and sugar for cinnamon roll bread
- Fresh or dried herbs
- Cheddar or mozzarella cheese

> Hi, I got one question regarding the semantic meaning of predicates. > For example, in message: > <a> > <b> > <id>1</id> > <id>2</id> > </b> > <b> > <id>3</id> > <id>4</id> > </b> > </a> > > 1. Is there a difference between (a)./a[b/id='1' and > b/id='2'] and (b)/a[b[id='1' and id='2'] Yes, there is a difference (though with this data, both give the same answer). (a) means "select the <a> element if it has a <b> with an <id> of 1 and if it also has a <b> with an <id> of 2". (b) means "select the <a> element if it has a <b> that has both an <id> of 1 and an <id> of 2". In other words, (a) will select the <a> element if the id="1" and id="2" are on different <b> children, while (b) requires them to be on the same child.

Obama to Meet With Congressional Leaders
President Barack Obama and a bipartisan group of congressional leaders will gather at the White House Tuesday afternoon to discuss overhauling the immigration system, preventing student-loan interest rates from doubling and how to respond to climate change.
The last topic is in the spotlight again. Before the White House meeting, scheduled for 3:55 p.m. ET, Mr. Obama is delivering a 2 p.m. speech at Georgetown University where he will call for advancing policies that can rein in greenhouse-gas emissions. Mr. Obama will call for tougher emissions standards for new and existing power plants, which will likely prompt strong backlash from Republicans and energy companies.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) said in a speech on the Senate floor Tuesday morning that he intends to press Mr. Obama on his plans for the coal industry when they meet. The president's policies, he said, would harm the coal industry and the economy…

What is Doping ?
'Doping' is the word used in sport when athletes use prohibited substances or methods to unfairly improve their sporting performance.
Why is doping in sport prohibited ?
The use of doping substances or doping methods to enhance performance is fundamentally wrong and is detrimental to the overall impact of sport. Drug misuse can be harmful to an athlete's health or to other athletes competing in the sport. It severely damages the integrity, image and value of sport, whether or not the motivation to use drugs is to improve performance.
To achieve integrity and fairness in sport, a commitment from athletes is critical, but the fans watching their favourite athletes competing also need to demand that athletes succeed.
What is the World Anti-Doping Agency ?
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is the international independent organization created in 1999 to promote, coordinate, and monitor the fight against doping in sport in all its forms. Composed and funded equally by the sports movement and governments of the world, WADA coordinated the development and implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (Code), the document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries.
As Athlete, what I need to know about Doping ?
An Athlete could be controlled in and off competition to ensure the equity of his performance.
Every Athlete needs to take in account the prohibited list of medication (this list could be find in our site in the page Usefull Downloads) and know exactly through WADA Code the rules of Drug-Free Sport.
In case of positive test an athlete is automatically banned of competition for a long time.
How can I check my medication ?
Always check your medication if your medication name is in the prohibited list.

John Travolta's vintage Mercedes sports car stolen in Santa Monica, Calif.
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (AP) ' John Travolta's vintage Mercedes sports car has been stolen.
Santa Monica police Sgt. Richard Lewis tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/oQYJRn ) that thieves had about a 10-minute window to make off with the 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280-SL.
Lewis says Travolta parked the car on a residential street in Santa Monica Sunday afternoon and stopped in at a nearby Jaguar dealership for about 10 minutes. When he returned, he found an empty parking spot and no sign of the car.
The car was parked in a residential area, and it's not known if the theft was captured on video. Lewis also didn't know if the thief or thieves had followed Travolta or just came upon the vehicle.
Lewis says Travolta had the keys with him at the time of the theft.

Man gets plea deal in shaken baby's death
Published 8:42 am, Monday, November 18, 2013
A West Haven man charged in connection to the death of an Ansonia baby was offered a plea deal Thursday, the Valley Independent Sentinel reported (http://tinyurl.com/k8vnupr).
Angel Luis Santiago, 36, has until Dec. 18 to consider an offer that calls for Santiago to be convicted of first-degree manslaughter and risk of injury to a minor in exchange for a 20-year prison sentence to be suspended after up to 11 years, followed by five years of probation.
The charges relate to the death of 5-month old Kyle Robinson on June 10, 2011.
Santiago is accused of "shaking the child so violently that the baby's brain separated from the stem," State's Attorney Kevin Lawlor said during a previous court appearance. "The evidence accrued is strong against this defendant."
He has been in custody under a $1 million bond since his arrest six months after the infant's death.
