Our April playlist features 40 brand new tracks from M&T favorites new and old. It might be an indication of summer being right around the corner, but this month's playlist also features plenty of Newport Folk Fest alums like Laura Marling, Conor Oberst, Feist, and Fleet Foxes, as well as some others we'd love to see at The Fort this summer (Broken Social Scene anyone? The Shins?).
Check out the full 40-track playlist below and remember to subscribe for new tunes every month.

Here are this week's recommended waiver wire adds:
{Note: Both quarterbacks are merely plug and play options for Week 4 as no QB stands out this week as a superior add}
Vince Young– Young has a matchup against Denver in Week 4. They are yielding 24.33 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through Week 3. Plus Denver is only giving up 7.67 fantasy points per game to running backs. All this means that Tennessee may have to go to the air to beat Denver next week.
Bruce Gradkowski – Gradkowski faces Houston in Week 4. Houston is currently yielding 27 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. That ties them with Jacksonville for worst in the NFL.
Running Back
Peyton Hillis – If you didn't already pick up Peyton Hillis liked we recommended before Week 2, then you must try to add him this week. Hillis in full starting role with Harrison injured clobbered the otherwise stout Ravens run defense for 144 yards rushing and a TD. He also added 7 catches for 36 yards. This will be the final week you see him on the wire, so add him if you can.
LaGarrette Blount – Blount only had 6 carries versus the Steelers, but he made them count. He rushed for 27 yards and a touchdown in the game and ran hard on every carry. Raheem Morris has said he wants to get him more involved in the offense moving forward. If you have Kareem Huggins on your team I suggest you drop him for Blount now before he contributes on a larger scale.
Wide Receiver
Brandon Lloyd– Many people don't realize it, but Brandon Lloyd is second in the NFL in receiving yards with 339 yards through 3 weeks of action. He has also added 1 touchdown. McDaniels seems to be molding the Broncos into a pass first team, so he could be a nice option moving forward.
Louis Murphy – I know I recommended him in this post last week. I am doing it again this week. In week 3 Murphy had 5 catches for 119 yards receiving. The Raiders get a savory passing matchup against Houston in week 4, so look for Murphy to post another solid outing.
Tight End
Aaron Hernandez – I will probably continue to recommend Hernandez as a tight end add until he becomes a starter in most leagues. He posted another 6 catches for 65 yards in Week 3. He has been extremely consistent through the first few weeks and has found himself more and more on the field as the weeks go by.
Tony Scheffler – Another tight end add I recommended 2 weeks ago, Scheffler had 6 catches for 60 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. He is a solid bye week fill in when you need one at TE.
Plug and Play Defense
Tennessee– The Titans play the Broncos in Nashville in what should be an excellent matchup for the Titan defense. Tennessee is yielding the third fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks at 8 points per game. With Moreno dinged, all the Broncos do is throw the football, which should play right into the Titans hands.

Who was the VA for Cheryl?

Overall not a bad episode. Croagunk "trying" to jab Brock but having it taken away by Cheryl who completely ignores Brock and uses that saying to "avoid" him(I don't mean that literally, but you get the idea). Why did this episode remind me so much of "Problem with Paras", having Team Rocket battling it to make it evolve, though there it was to boost confidence.
Here's what confused me: Burmy uses that thing on its head to "fling" Wobbuffet once Ash and co. arrive. Why couldn't it have done this in the first place when battling it originally?
Anyhow, not bad.
"I'm not really here that much, if at all. I've moved on, to a different site."
"But, it's been fun. I'll come back every so often, but for the most part, I won't post much."

Is talking normally such a hard thing to accomplish when it comes to PUSA's version of team rocket?
Just because we're in America does not mean we constantly need outdated slang from whenever they think is cool >_>
and whoever told these people to use puns every 5 seconds (once again with TR) needs to be slapped.

good episode i liked burmy and cheryl seems cool as well i liked her grandpa comments a well it reminded me of that paras- parasect episode in kanto too
I liked Cheryl & her voice I thought it was sweet, oh yeah I think PUSA cut out the boss fantasy becuase it was disturbing the watchers would all be like O.O & throwing up >P

Oh God, Cheryl, Sinnoh's answer to Marina (the Raikou episodes). I've been trying to block out the memory of that character's voice since the three-parter aired. Needless to say I really hated the Eterna Forest three-parter (apart from Gardenia). The burma story was cute, and I LOL'd at the part when burmy lost its leaves and quickly gathered them back up, but Cheryl really ruins this episode. And I like her so much in the games.

Burmy was obviously voiced by Ash's VA. OMG I had a nice laugh watching that XD;
I don't recall seeing that... completely revolting... Boss Scenario in the dub. I hope they cut it... x_x; The pictures absolutely terrify me beyond any level that words can express.
lord freeza i really need to use the space skype
Alright episode. Burmy vs. Wobbuffet was funny, seriously, what did they expect? And Team Rocket spent all that effort feeding and trying to train Burmy only to get pummeled in the end. Shame Wormadam didn't get much focus, but oh well.

Its dirty!!!!! lol

Burmy was just a repeat of Paras from Kanto
Paras wasn't stripped naked several times though.
it was fun to see burmy without it's cloack in this episode, when i first saw an image of it i was assuming it was a stick on leaves with a head
Call me shallow, but I like Momi a lot for her looks, not her personality. While I'm glad they gave a game partner a full three episodes, she is hardly an interesting character. That said, she ranks on the upper tier of Pokemon girls in terms of looks. In her debut, of course, she appears as a green-haired stick figure courtesy of Ms. Kinoshita. If that weren't enough to repulse me, they just had to rehash "The Problem With Paras", which is a candidate for the most horrid episode of the first season. Things like Minomutchi's indecent exposure, the Sakaki fantasy, and the fact that Garmeil is a pretty cool Pokemon save it from being as bad, but it's still bad.
Minomadam is the real victim here. We see its various forms out of their Pokeball for a split second and then never again in Momi's three episodes. Since then, its rock form has gotten a brief appeal under Ulala and nothing else. The entire attempted method for evolving Minomutchi is incredibly boring, using every element that made the Paras outing so dreadful (even recycling Nyasu's involvement). There were a few comical moments sprinkled throughout, but Momi is overall fortunate that the writers gave her an additional two episodes (Mira, who also gets a mediocre episode, is not as lucky).
Thank you for all the fantastic times, Serebii Forums!
Re-watching this episode a few days after seeing HP & tHPP made me realise that Cheryl strongly reminds me of Luna Lovegood, due to her voice and some of the things she keeps on saying.
Something which only made me enjoy this episode so much more the second time around.

Hmm I liked it. Cheryl had an interesting debut episode and she got her own mini-arc; something I wasn't expecting for her character at all. I didn't like that Burmy and it's evolutions appeared in this one though. Sinnoh seems to have debuted many Pokemon at the same time and that made some of the later episodes lag due to a lack of new Pokemon to showcase. Fun Eterna Forest episode nonetheless. 7/10.

Cheryl was a great trainer. i loved to see her Burmy evolving.
And TR was very mean, but the friends stop them quickly.
Wobbuffet and his trainer.(credit: Serebii.net)
This reminded me A LOT of the old Paras episode from Kanto, it was almost exactly the same. Cheryl was depicted well and was pretty close to her game character. This episode was OK, nothing special.
I don't see the Boss fantasy that disturbing, although a bit weird (Especially if he is actually naked, takes notes that there is no shirt anywhere on his arm).
Anyways it was a so and so episode, although I don't think it should have gone on for three episodes (The part that made it interesting was Gardenia, wish she had been in all three, including when they found the Amber Castle).
Definitely like the Paras episode except for Burmy having no leaves on it. It was nice that evolved aleast.
Alas! Team Rocket did not get any reward after they trained Burmy so well

As an interdisciplinary Center of Distinction, the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education serves the core vision and mission of Santa Clara University. This strategic plan, which sets out specific priorities and goals of the Center for the next five years, supports the Strategic Plan 2011 of the University as a whole. Each of the Ignatian Center's priorities and goals supports and advances those of the University.
The Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education will be recognized throughout Silicon Valley as providing leadership for the integration of faith, justice, and the intellectual life.
The Ignatian Center promotes and enhances the distinctively Jesuit, Catholic tradition of education at Santa Clara University, with a view to serving students, faculty, staff, and through them the larger community, both local and global.
Strategic Priorities and Goals
Communicating the Mission
Since its founding, Santa Clara University has been committed to spreading the liberating message of God's love for the world. This Word takes flesh in the words and actions of people who are inspired to live justly and with integrity. We expect our graduates to embody such virtue in many different places and ways.

MINNEAPOLIS -- What the Minnesota Twins and Atlanta Braves proved over the last nine days, through seven gut-wrenching, emotion-draining games, is that there is a lot to be said for parity.
If this is what "worst to first" is all about, then bring it on -- it deserves to be an annual event.
There have been some great World Series, though not many recently. But if there has ever been one more exciting, from first pitch to last, than the one concluded here last night, it is lost in the archives.


text: I'm new to pypy but would encourage the development folks to apply some focus towards two things: support for both 32 and 64-bit processors and eliminating global state including the GIL. The near future of mainstream processors is multi-core x86_64. For the short-term both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms will be around. Code that makes "naked" assumptions about word size will break and needs to be re-factored to hide the word-size dependencies. Similarly code that assumes a single thread of execution or uses a GIL to protect global state will make efficient use of modern processors. Any language or system that cannot make the transition to 64-bit multi-core will start to loose ground to those that do. At the Parallel Computing Laboratory (UC Berkeley) one of the projects we are working on is called SEJITS which stands for Selective Embedded Just in Time Specialization. The idea is that one can extend a self-introspecting modern scripting language for calling native coded modules (e.g. C) at selected points for handling specialized operations (e.g. vector/matrix operations using tuned SIMD or CUDA code). You can see the abstract of a recent SEJITS paper at http://pmea.ac.upc.edu/program.html (session 1a) but unfortunately the paper is not online yet. Both Python and Ruby are being looked at as potential target languages for SEJITS work. Both have sufficient introspection facilities to support selective JIT operations. Python has an advantage in having been used by the scientific community for longer than Ruby with more established users. I'd love to see this work integrate with pypy. At the moment the folks involved are targeting CPython. In any case, I think the transition to multi-core/multi-threaded 64-bit machines is a potential watershed of major importance which it would behoove pypy-dev folks to keep in mind. Respectfully. Jeff Anderson-Lee

SINGAPORE (AP) — Airbus is showing off its new wide-body A350 at Asia's biggest airshow this week.
It's a strong sign the European plane maker is on schedule to start delivering the advanced jet to airline customers in the second half of the year.
Reporters on Monday toured an A350 fitted with monitoring equipment. It will also be displayed to the public for the first time when the airshow starts on Tuesday.
The jet uses advanced composite materials so it's lighter and more fuel efficient. The A350 will allow Airbus to step up competition in the long-haul market dominated by Boeing's 777 and 787 jets.
Airbus engineers say they've been testing the airplane under extreme conditions and it's now entering the certification process.

Terminally thin upgrade to the long-standing graphics all-rounder.
At one stage the CorelDRAW Graphics suite had the PC graphics world to itself and each year's new release was a major event. Even when its Mac-based rivals FreeHand and Illustrator converted to the PC platform, CorelDRAW had such a head start that there was no real comparison. However, over the years Corel lost its graphics focus and allowed DRAW's rivals to make up lost ground. With Corel's recent forced sale to venture capitalists, DRAW's loyal users want to know whether the suite still has a future.
The emphasis in this latest release is on making DRAW a more intelligent and more helpful drawing environment. As such, top of the new features list is the new Smart Drawing tool. This intelligently guesses the shapes you are trying to create such as circles, triangles and arrows, and automatically straightens sketched lines and smooths curves. From the way that Corel is hyping this, you'd think that the Smart Drawing tool replaces all others and is now the only one you need to produce your designs. In practice though the program can't really second guess what you want to achieve and in most cases correcting its attempts takes far longer than using the existing tools.
Corel is hyping the new "intelligent" Smart Drawing tool, but it's certainly not foolproof.
Much more helpful are Draw's new snapping features. You can now choose to have the mouse snap to existing nodes, intersections, midpoints, quadrants, tangents, perpendiculars, the edge or centres of objects, the baselines of text and the printable area and these snap points are all now highlighted as tooltips as you mouse over them. The new snapping doesn't just work with the drawing tools, it also works with the Import Cursor which makes it easier to position imported bitmaps especially as the cursor gives feedback on both the original and current image size.
DRAW's enhanced snapping is great if the new object you want to add overlaps or touches an existing one, but often you want to align separate objects. That's where the new Dynamic Guides come in. Switch these on and you can drag out temporary guidelines from any existing snap point so that you can precisely move, align and draw objects relative to others. The constant feedback with snap points and dynamic guides flashing on and off as you move your mouse over the image can be disconcerting, but it really does help you get things right first time as you draw.
Dynamic guides and new snapping features aid technical drawing.
Other features that help boost efficiency and productivity include the revamped Eyedropper tool. This can now be used to pick up properties, transformations and effects as well as colours and can also now sample colours not just from your image but from the wider desktop. Completely new is the Virtual Segment Delete tool which works across objects so that you can remove implied segments where lines overlap. Quickly draw a noughts and crosses grid, for example, and you can then delete the ends of lines to leave the central rectangle. This is particularly useful when you are manually tracing existing artwork.
Another tool that has been enhanced is the Text tool. DRAW's text handling and multi-page DTP-style layouts have long been one of the program's major strengths, but the capabilities haven't been seriously touched for years. As such I was especially interested to see talk of "enhanced text layout flexibility" in the launch press release. What this boils down to in practice is a new option in the Align and Distribute dialog to align text objects based on their bounding box or first or last baseline. It's hardly going to set the world on fire. And neither is the new improved display of type onscreen which means that you can now see comparatively minor text changes such as kerning and leading even when viewed at low zoom levels - especially as you'll still have to zoom in to check that they look right at 100%.
Much more useful when it comes to handling text is Draw's new Unicode support which means that you can now use up to 65,000 unique characters in your projects. This is especially useful when working with foreign languages such as Japanese, Chinese and Greek and to reinforce its new multilingual capabilities, CorelDRAW now lets you install multiple languages on one system and set the language for the user interface and Help files. The new Unicode support is also useful with the Insert Character docker window as this now lets you access all the extended characters and symbols in extended OpenType fonts.
Another docker window that has been enhanced is the former Library palette now renamed the Symbol Manager. This is used for storing items that are regularly repeated in your drawings and has now been redesigned to make it possible to store symbols locally within each drawing and externally to be shared between drawings and users. It's also now easier to edit your symbols and to tell when you're working with them as the selection handles are now coloured blue. As well as being more convenient, symbol-based handling helps ensure consistency, enables single edits to update multiple objects and drawings and, when exporting to Flash SWF format, can cut file sizes dramatically.
Import and export capabilities have always been one of CorelDRAW's biggest strengths and again this has been enhanced. The main improvements are apparent when it comes to technical drawing with new import support for HPGL 2, CGM 4 and Microsoft Visio 2000 and 2002 files and improved export to CGM 1 and 3 formats. The import/export support for the crucial AutoCAD DXF/DWG standard has also been improved including line style and fill mapping and enhanced text handling. CorelDRAW also boasts complete compatibility with the Corel DESIGNER DES format which isn't really surprising as the latter is actually just a reworked version of DRAW.
For non-technical users Corel is heavily promoting two new export capabilities. The first is the enhanced support for the round-tripping of web-oriented XML-based SVG images with better text embedding and support for symbols and bitmaps. The second is the new Export for Office command. This is a large dialog built around a central preview in which you make a few simple choices: whether you're targeting Microsoft Office or WordPerfect Office; whether compatibility or editability is more important; and whether the results should be optimized for presentation, desktop print or commercial print. In practice the command is just a front end to guide the user to one of three formats - WPG, EMF or, nine times out of ten, PNG - and to then set the bitmap resolution depending on the desired output.
That's about it for new power in the main DRAW module, but the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite has always offered more than just vector drawing. In fact in its heyday the suite also provided separate applications to handle bitmap editing, business presentation, charting, animation, 3D and professional DTP along with a whole host of supporting utilities. Since the version 10 release however, Corel has chosen to concentrate on just two other major modules, the bitmap editor PHOTO-PAINT and the Flash web animator R.A.V.E., both of which share the same DRAW look-and-feel.
Of these two satellites, PHOTO-PAINT is the more regularly useful and the more powerful. Indeed at one point with pioneering features such as its multiple undo, artistic brushes, vector-based text and movie features, it could even claim to outclass Photoshop. Disappointingly however, Corel allowed the program to languish and these days its professional aspirations are long gone, though it remains a capable consumer product.
So what new power is on offer? PHOTO-PAINT's PC Photography focus is clear in its new Touch-up Brush which lets you interactively remove unwanted dust, scratches and tears by blending surrounding textures and colours. And. er. that's it apart from the multiple language support and Export for Office command that we saw in DRAW. This really isn't acceptable and if Corel expects users to keep using PHOTO-PAINT they really need to keep it up-to-date. Otherwise they should drop it from the box and cut the price accordingly.
The only notable/noticeable addition to PHOTO-PAINT is the Touch-up Brush.
So on to the new release of Corel R.A.V.E., version 3. This module which is dedicated to the production of efficient and eye-catching Flash SWF animations was introduced with much fanfare back in version 10 as it seemed to answer the criticism that the DRAW suite was weak when it came to producing Web graphics. And by grafting on a keyframe-based Timeline docker window, it certainly makes it easy to set up striking movies as you can quickly animate even advanced effects such as distortions, envelopes and extrusions.
The Flash format offers much more than just animation however, and Corel's attempts to graft on simple behaviours in R.A.V.E. 2 wasn't enough to turn the program into a serious Flash authoring package. So what more does version 3 have to offer? Well to begin with, there's the Smart Draw tool, Unicode support, revamped Symbol Manager and enhanced snapping capabilities and dynamic guides that we saw in the DRAW module. And. er. that's your lot. With no new dedicated web vector power to speak of, it's clear that Corel has given up on R.A.V.E. as a serious standalone package just as it has with PHOTO-PAINT.
DRAW's new symbol management makes especial sense in R.A.V.E. but there's no new dedicated Flash functionality.
In fact, standing back from this release, you have to ask just how much work has actually gone into it. The programming involved in the new releases of PHOTO-PAINT and R.A.V.E. - which after all isn't actually a standalone application but simply a tweaked version of the DRAW module - is virtually non-existent. More to the point, much of the apparent work in the new DRAW, including the enhanced snapping, symbol management and improved import and export options, was actually done last year when Corel reinvented DRAW as DESIGNER. And of the little that's left, many features such as the Save for Office dialog and enhanced Eyedropper tool are actually just different ways of getting at existing power and so hardly a programming challenge. No wonder Corel is hyping the SmartDrawing tool.
Of course one bad release, or even the current series of disappointing releases, doesn't mean that CorelDRAW has become a bad program. The range of power it offers is no longer up-to-date but it's still generally impressive. And with a US price cut from $529 down to $399, new users could even be said to be getting a bargain - especially when you remember that alongside the three main modules you also get a host of utilities for handling screen capture, bitmap-to-vector tracing and font management, plus a range of 1000 fonts, 1000 photos and 10,000 clipart images.
Sadly though, apart from a free training CD, there are no new goodies in the box (in fact the range of clipart is diminishing) so no-one could argue that existing users are getting a bargain. In fact for existing users the update is so thin that, apart from the new snapping features which many upgraders will choose to disable, most will probably never notice the difference. As such, the suggested upgrade price of $179 - getting on for half the price of the full suite - is almost a slap in the face to those longstanding users who want to stay loyal. It's even worse for existing UK users where the dollar pricing is mysteriously converted to no less than £179 + VAT (and the full price to £359 + VAT)
Thanks to its pioneering past, CorelDRAW remains a competent graphics all-rounder, but it has now fallen behind its rivals and its future is looking uncertain. For a number of releases CorelDRAW freewheeled, then idled; now it looks like it's dying on its feet.

The 6 deadly myths of fantasy sports business busted!
Our team shares common apprehensions of fantasy sports entrepreneurs.
Do you have some too?
If it's a myth, it better be funny! Often not so for those dying to jump into the fantasy sports business. Our team finds itself at the receiving end of some such myths that are so discouraging for entrepreneurs passionate about fantasy sports business.
Let's bust 6 of the commonest myths about developing a fantasy sports platform or website.
Myth #1 Due to various sports and leagues, fantasy sports platforms take forever to build and cost a bomb
Well Yes and No. Each sport has its own unique logic which requires considerable amount of coding as well as UI/UX related changes. For each new sport you add, you have to implement its own unique lineup formation, scoring parameters, modify the DB to handle all unique data points etc. At the same time to add a new league for an existing sport the total efforts needed are on the lower end. The only real work needed it to integrate the new data feeds and make minor tweak in the UI. In terms of costing to add a new sport, it varies based on a lot of factors and your requirements.
Myth #2 Multi-lingual fantasy platforms can be built only in certain popular languages.
Hell, wrong! Unless you are wishing to build a multi-lingual platform for the aliens, a fantasy sports platform can be built in practically any language in the world. For instance, at Vinfotech, we have built applications in languages like Russian, Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Portuguese. Our team is currently building one in Georgian.
Myth #3 Data providers for fantasy sports platforms are unaffordable and hard to find.
One, there are many reputable data providers such as OPTA, STATS, Fantasy Data, Sports Radar, etc. Here's the bigger question – is your fantasy sports platform development company willing to help you there officially? Ideally it should. Two, at Vinfotech, we work in official capacity with some of the leading data providers and have assisted our clients in acquiring the necessary data at special subsidized cost.
A common myth about fantasy sports business is that daily fantasy sports is limited in number.
Myth #4 Newsfeeds are far too complicated to handle.
No, because RSS feeds can be called from leading sports news channels and sports magazines and to provide users with latest news and information.
Myth #5 There are only a limited number of daily fantasy tournaments.
Really this business has been growing rapidly in innovation. There are several types of daily fantasy games that could be further customized by us to suit your requirements. Some recommended ones are –
/ 50/50
/ Winner takes All
/ Uncapped Games
/ Multi-entry games
/ Turbo Lineups / Pick'em
/ Guaranteed Prize.
Myth #6 Fantasy sports websites are more vulnerable to attacks.
They are as secured as the websites that employ protection measures and as vulnerable as the sites that don't. The applications will come equipped with multiple levels of security protocols as needed and prevalent currently worldwide, if you demand.
The whole fun of fantasy games is taking risks, pushing limits and well, eventually winning. Now that you have tested waters, shall we play?
- Fantasy sports platforms can be built quickly within budget
- They can be built in any language
- Data providers can be found in reasonable price
- Newsfeeds are easy to handle
- There are many kind of DFS tournaments
- Fantasy sports websites can be made secure

I have a JSP (web.xml is 2.3 DTD) that I have added my own tag to.
The page unfortunately is full of scriplets and I need to pass a scriplet variable to my new tag. My tag is EL enabled (i.e. it uses the ExpressionEvaluationManager to process its args)
so I have something like:
<% MyTopicClass mytopic = (MyTopicClass)iterator.next();
pageContext.setAttribute("topic", topic);
<mytag:footag topicvalue="${topic}"/>
Now I get
Unable to convert string "${topic}" to class MyTopicClass for attribute topicitem...
It as though the ${} sytax is being completely ignored. I read on another forum that you shol use web.xml 2.4 schema rather than 2_3 DTD, but I know of another project that uses JSTL-EL with no issues that is using the 2_3 web.xml.
Any suggestions.

Make the most out of your events
There are challenges everywhere in these times. You go to the interview you face the challenge to prove yourself and get the employer interested in your capabilities and get you hired. If you are launching your new website you have to be extremely involved or appoint a website designing company that will conduct a thorough market research and find out the best way of keeping the target audience dropping in your website as well as keep coming back.
There is a dire necessity to make every project, every association as well as every event a success. Money spent on every account should provide optimal Return on investment whether directly or indirectly. So, a get together or a corporate event like the product launch or a team building exercise, then to involve the invitees is an essential part of the show.
You might have yourself attended a dozen of product launch or corporate parties in the last few months but did not you feel that all these parties served the same food and drinks in the same crockery and there have been the same discussions over the same subject of interest.
If you think so you are not quite wrong because most of the people think in this way. To them all the corporate parties are the variation of the same format and most of the time such parties are easily forgotten without leaving any mark in the mind of the invitees. If that is the case then without doubt the event and the events have failed to achieve success despite great venue, good food and expensive drinks.
The key to the success of any event in today's world is to mix education with entertainment and to get the audience interested in the first place. Great sense of humor, good music, high energy performance and ability to improvise are some of the qualities that make a great corporate entertainer. The master of ceremonies or emcee have the challenging task of getting the audience interested in the event and keep them participating in some meaningful activities. When they are roped in, the task of entertaining them becomes much easier.
Marvelless Mark is an experienced motivational speaker Las Vegas and an edu entertainer with a difference. He brings in rock star like performance in each and every show that he is a part of. His high level of energy is contagious and he has mastered the art of involving event the most disinterested or the clueless audience.
Marvelless Marks customizes each and every performance to suit the occasion. he has experience in delivering performance at every occasion be it a small get together or a passive product launch.
He has a long and highly impressive list of clients from the Microsoft, to McGraw Hill, American Express, Anderson Consulting etc.
So, time, energy and contacts in organizing a corporate party which will not reap any benefits for your business. Rather, go ahead and appoint Marvelless Mark and watch your invitees enjoying and having an experience of their lifetime at a very reasonable price. Hear this motivational speaker delivering and you are only going to be enriched.
Andrew - About Author:
Marvelless Mark is a renowned and highly sought after team building Orlando. He delivers high energy performance be it as a corporate entertainment Las Vegas or a motivational speaker Las Vegas and gets his audience grooving all the evening.

3 Great Benefits of Prefab Shipping Container Homes
Now that the green revolution is here and people are making efforts to cut back on the amount of CO2 they emit, people are beginning to look for alternative, cheaper and energy saving ways to own and build homes, offices, and site sheds. One of the options people are turning to is the prefab shipping container homes.
Whether you know it or not, prefabricated shipping container homes are becoming more popular. Even architects like Peter DeMaria, Silvia Mertens, Pieter Peelings and Sean Goodsell have started putting out designs for homes and offices and living/working inside these structures. And rightly so as these homes are both revolutionary and have a ton of benefits.
Can Prefab Shipping Container Homes be Refurbished as Guest Homes?
You bet they can. If you don't have space in your home for a guest room, you can easily get one of these prefab shipping container homes, furnish it and put it in a lot near your home. Think of it as an extension of your home. Guests can visit and stay there. And there's no limit to just how much you can creatively furnish and decorate them.
Innovative Use of Useless Shipping Containers
If we're going to conserve the world's remaining natural resources, this is an excellent way to begin. Australia's ports are littered with thousands of shipping containers that won't be used ever again unless they are used as shipping container buildings. These metal wastes contribute to the damaging of the ecosystem and pollutes the water.
But instead of allowing them rust at the docks, they can be converted into prefab shipping container homes and offices. They are eco-friendly, modular and energy saving. They can be used as temporary or remote homes, portable emergency housing units, modular container homes, basements, wine cellars, storage units, Mine site buildings or virtually anything else you can think of. There's almost no limit to what you could do with them.
Can Prefab Shipping Container Homes Save Money?
Absolutely. At cheap and affordable rates between $300 per square meter to $800 per square meter. Most Prefab Shipping Container Buildings are modular, so you can get 3 or 4 prefab shipping container homes delivered to your location and joined together.
And the best part is when you're done using them, you can get decent resale prices for them.
Prefab shipping container homes are an excellent alternative to standard homes and office buildings.

King County Superior Court Judge Steven Gonzalez, who prosecuted one of the nation's most high-profile terrorism cases, was named to the Washington State Supreme Court on Tuesday, and will be the second Latino justice on the state's high court.
"Today is a great day for the people of the state of Washington," Gov. Chris Gregoire said at the Temple of Justice in Olympia, where she announced the appointment. She said that Gonzalez brings "one of the most interesting life stories" of any judge she has appointed.
Gonzalez replaces retiring Justice Gerry Alexander, who reached the mandatory retirement age of 75.
Chief Justice Barbara Madsen predicted that Alexander will still work as a judge pro tem when his services are needed.
"Justice is not only substance: Justice is appearance," Gonzalez said in accepting the post. He pledged to be "a justice on a court that represents everyone." Gonzalez added that he knows each of his new colleagues from chairing the Access to Justice Board.
Gonzalez has been a King County Superior Court judge for nine years, and was the Washington State Bar Association's 2011 Outstanding Judge of the Year.
The new justice formerly worked as a criminal prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle. He was involved with the prosecution of Ahmed Ressam, the Los Angeles-bound, Algerian-born terrorist with a trunk full of bomb explosives who was apprehended by U.S. Customs in Port Angeles in 1999.
Ressam, who intended to set the explosives off at the Los Angeles International Airport, was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison.
Gonzalez studied law at the University of California-Berkeley. The judge's wife, Michelle, is assistant dean at the University of Washington Law School. The couple have two young sons.
He recalled working as a janitor as a teenager, cleaning restrooms. "I think the restrooms were a very good reason to go to college," said Gonzalez.
The young man marched into the admissions office of a local college and asked for an application form. Is it for you, the admissions officer asked? Yes, he replied, and was then told: "Scripps is a women's college." He ended up going to Pitzer College, part of the Claremont system in California.
Gonzalez will be only the second justice of Hispanic heritage to serve on the state's high court, said court spokeswoman Wendy Ferrell told The Associated Press. Charles Z. Smith, who was the state's first ethnic minority on the court, was appointed in 1988 and served until 2002, when he stepped down after reaching the state's mandatory retirement age of 75. Smith is an African-American of Cuban descent.
Gonzalez is also of Eastern European heritage.

President's Blog - April 2013 - CU Transforming to Produce A Quality Education for the 21st Century
April 29, 2013
In the last few years, funding has receded rather drastically at both the federal and state levels for public higher education. While these reductions in funding are disturbing, they foretell transformations and opportunities that are evolving in higher education for the foreseeable future. Like many other industries, higher education must transition towards meeting the unprecedented 21st century workforce and lifestyle needs of a broader spectrum of Americans.
Without a doubt, Cheyney University must continue to produce responsible and contributing citizens who add to the intellectual capital of the Commonwealth and nation by pursuing graduate school, adding to the diversity in the law and other professions, demonstrating creativity in entrepreneurial ventures, pursuing public service agendas, furnishing quality business services, and adding to intellectual capital in ways not yet imagined.
Unfortunately, some of our talented students have been forced to drop out to earn a living to support themselves and their families. Our families are still struggling through one of the deepest recessions in our nation—sometimes compared to the Great Depression of the 1930s. At Cheyney University, we are affected adversely by the financial stresses of our families through reduction in enrollments and students dropping out to help their families earn a living.
Without a doubt, alumni have been extraordinarily supportive in raising scholarship funds for students. Faculty members have also aggressively sought grants to support the teaching and learning environments. However, even with this support and the growing support of private donors, enrollment trends have not corresponded with increasing expenditures. In fact, enrollment trends in Pennsylvania for high school graduates further predict reductions in college enrollments.
Thus, in order to strengthen Cheyney University for its future, the University is reviewing carefully many of its processes and services including enrollment management, financial aid, and other student services—looking for ways to interact more strategically with potential students. We are also reviewing our academic programs and customer service to students, so that we will improve our competitive place in the Commonwealth and national marketplace.
Furthermore, in order to bring our revenue in line with our expenditures, we will be seeking recommendations on cost-savings from all areas of the University community and engage in our annual budget hearings.
In April 2014, Cheyney University undergoes its ten-year reaffirmation of accreditation by Middle States Association to ensure that the University is capable of carrying out its mission and that it is responding appropriately to an agenda of continuous improvement.
It is essential to note that the path forward must embrace the aforementioned realities of the higher education community in the Commonwealth, region, and nation.
Please feel free to provide comments or recommendations for cost savings or innovations to Chief of Staff Sheilah Vance (firstname.lastname@example.com) or me (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Michelle Howard-Vital, Ph.D.

Los Angeles (PRWEB) May 02, 2014
According to author and practicing energy healer, Hoberleigh Phreigh, many consider energy healing to be a nonsensical practice, or "quackery." Phreigh had a similar thought about the practice, which, oddly enough, prompted her to pursue energy healing. In her new book, "The SuperQuack: Stories of Healing from Out of Left Field" (published by Balboa Press), Phreigh discusses how she came to be an energy healer and shares many of her experiences and stories.
"The SuperQuack" begins by explaining how Phreigh, a former nonbeliever of energy healing, came to not only believe in the practice, but pursue it as a profession. Phreigh then moves on to an in-depth look at her numerous energy healing success stories and case studies.
"This book is the story of my journey from a cold skeptic, to a curious explorer, to a believer with such passion that I have made energy healing my life's work," Phreigh says. "The accounts range from my introduction to energy work and my personal experiences beyond the physical senses to sharing information from sessions with clients using energy in the body, and in the mind, to relieve disease."
Phreigh is hopeful that her book will enlighten readers on energy healing and open their minds to alternative healing possibilities.

Many people dream about going to India for a holiday. But, because there are so many negative things about India, there are only a couple of people that are actually making their dream a reality. It is essential that you are going to get as much information as possible, so that you know for sure that you are going to be safe and that you are going to enjoy your trip, without any incidence. Here are a couple of things that you should remember, when you are going to India for the first time:
Planning your trips beforehand
India is a large country, and you need to make sure that you know exactly what you want to do and what places you want to visit when you are going to India on holiday. Otherwise, you are going to have a chaotic holiday where you didn't find enough time to visit all the places you want to see.
A great way to do this is to go online and see what all the tourist attractions are. Then, you will be able to know where you want to go and where you should rather stay away from.
Exotic food to find in India
There is some food in India that you should be aware off if you don't like eating exotic foods. And, because these foods have different and strange names, it can be hard to know what you are actually eating.
This is the one reason why many people are afraid of India. They are afraid that they are going to eat something that they don't know what it might be. You can do research beforehand, or you can ask what you are actually going to order if you don't understand the name of the dish. They will gladly assist you in telling you what you are eating. For those that like eating strange and exotic foods, India is the one place that you should visit. Some exotic things you can choose from in India is frog legs, red ants, and rotten potatoes.
Know their culture
You should make sure that you know their cultures and beliefs before you are going to India. They have customs and things that you as a tourist should know about, to make sure that you don't do anything wrong that might upsets them.
It is important that you respect their cultures and their beliefs. This is why you should make sure that you are doing research about India and their beliefs before you are traveling to India for the first time. You will want them to respect your culture if they are in your country, so you should respect them and their culture also.
India. This is a place that not many people are considering a dream destination. However, there are many things that you can do and visit in India that is interesting and fun. With this information and tips, you will know for sure that you are going to have a wonderful time in India. Maybe even getting the guts to try some exotic and really strange food that you will not eat normally. There is nothing to be worried about, when you are traveling to India, as long as you remember these tips and information.

This was how I moved on..
Me: I dunno.
Come to think of it, "I dunno" shouldn't have been my answer before.
It should have been "Wala".
Coz I remember a friend saying:
"If someone likes you, then this someone will do something about it."
'nuf said. That just sums up everything that I need to hear and know.

I'm starting to wonder if my neighborhood is going downhill.
I live in a nice middle class area where most people seem to take care of their homes and there's very few break ins or other crime … but still … it's changed since we moved in almost 9 years ago.
I mean, the other day, after I had taken our dog outside to do her business for the last time that evening – around 11:30 pm, I saw a car stop in front of our house. As I was starting to close our front door I saw a man get out of the drivers side of the car and walk around to the back door on the passenger side.
The man sort of bent over a little bit and I wondered if he was talking to someone in the backseat or if he was leaning in the back window to get something.
I don't know why I paused at the door to watch him, but I did. Little did I know that my husband who'd just gone upstairs to get ready for bed was watching from the bedroom window as well.
The man stood at the side of the car for a few moment and then walked around the car, got in, and drove off.
My husband called down from upstairs "Did you see what that guy DID?"
I said "no … I just thought he was talking to someone in the backseat."
Then my husband said:
"That guy just PEED ON HIS CAR!"
"He was peeing on his car!"
Who does that? Who pees on their own car … or well, I don't know if the man owned the car, but still, who pees on the car they're driving around?
Plus it's not like I live on a quite side street. It's fairly busy with cars going by 24 hours a day.
I know sometimes you just have to pee and you might not be in a place where you can easily get to a washroom … but why did the guy pee on his car? Why didn't he walk into my neighbors yard and pee behind his big maple tree or walk down the side street that's just beside our house?
Would you ever do that? Pee on your own car I mean?
Anyway … now you can see why I'm wondering if my neighborhood is going downhill. LOL

First there was news that Equifax, the credit rating agency, had been hacked. Then came stories about questionable stock sales by execs before the breach became public. Then...anger and confusion from some of the 143 million people affected.
And finally, this week, came the retirement of the company's CEO.
It's enough to (almost) make our panel of tech experts – Network World's Brandon Butler, CSO's Fahmida Rashid, Macworld's Michael Simon and Computerworld Executive Editor Ken Mingis – throw up their collective arms as everyone tries to figure out how to stop it from happening again.

I m known that Ed Willink have been working in a textual editor for QVT Relations, and im building an Eclipse's IDE for Operational Mapping, so i think that Ed could help me in this job. Good, as well as Relations, a bit of Operational Mapping's grammar is based on OCL Expressions, and we have an eclipse proyect that resolve us a lot of work in this way (MDT-OCL). So i have decided to generate my Operational Mapping parser using LPG, extending OCL's grammar. As you know, we have a problem when we are parsing wrong inputs, because the parser generated does'nt build an AST, and it only locates all the errors in such input. Locating all the errors in the input is a great and necessary feature, but if i want a good quality IDE, definetely i need an AST. I dont know if you are trying to solve these issues. Im working on them, building my own recovery class and methods, but perhaps you could give me some advice. Im not sure that implementing the recovery policies to try the ast's building is a good idea. what do you think about this ? Thank you very much for the help.]]> Adolfo 2007-04-12T10:56:37-00:00

Like all forms of torture, diagramming should only be used when it is absolutely critical that you obtain a speedy confession from the sentence at hand and after all other attempts to determine a sentence's meaning have failed.
1. Isolate the sentence from its peers and prepare a hard, flat line on which to work. Stainless steel is best because it is easy to clean.
2. Place the sentence on the line and sever the subject from the verb with a quick downstroke of your blade. Surgical scalpels, X-Acto knives, and machetes are all suitable for this procedure. This can be extremely painful for the subject as it will now have nothing to do or be, but with the two isolated, your work may end here if the sentence is especially simple.
3. Should you need to chop off a direct object, you'll make another cut, but not as deep as the one used to sever subject from verb. Be aware that some verbs require direct objects and so you may find this takes a little extra effort. Use a saw if you must. Predicate adjectives are handled in a similar manner, but you'll need to make an angled incision. Remember to cut with the grain and consider a reciprocating saw for this.
4. Indirect objects must be handled separately, and you'll need a second line with a tether to the severed verb. You can use a hammer to break the indirect object away from the verb and then then pull it away from the main sentence onto a separate line. The value of this is primarily psychological as it allows the rest of the sentence to see itself stretched across the page in a most horrific way.
5. Prepositional phrases will be broken off like indirect objects, but you'll use the preposition itself to create the tether between the main line and the line on which you place the object of the preposition. Again, the effect here is mainly psychological, but your sentence should be singing by now.
6. Adjectives and adverbs, like fingers and toes, are not truly necessary to a sentence's survival, and they can be removed easily, a procedure that will sometimes help the sentence reveal its secrets. Use a bolt cutter to remove the modifiers one at a time and place them on angled lines slanting off from the words they once modified. Placing them on the angle will allow the lifeblood of the sentence to drain away with a minimum of effort of your part.
Once the sentence is taken apart, you should have your confession. Remember, it is not usually necessary to torture a sentence. If you find yourself doing this for fun, rather than of necessity, please seek help from a certified dark language arts teacher.

Camp Pendleton clean up efforts use green construction equipment
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency commends the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Southwest, and Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, for using innovative cleaner-burning construction equipment to remove contaminated soil from the base, a pilot project that supports the EPA's Cleanup-Clean Air Initiative. 120,000 cubic yards of contaminated soil has been removed using "green" construction equipment.
The Navy and Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton are utilizing clean diesel technologies, retrofitted equipment, ultra low sulfur diesel fuel, and biofuels on six construction vehicles to remove over 120,000 cubic yards of soil contaminated with metals, dioxins/furans, and pesticides, which will be disposed off-base.
"Camp Pendleton is our first federal facility to use clean diesel technology as part of its Superfund cleanup," said Wayne Nastri, Regional Administrator of EPA's Pacific Southwest region. "We are proud to recognize the Navy and Marine Corps for leading the way in their ground-breaking efforts to reduce their environmental footprint."
The EPA's Cleanup – Clean Air is a regional pilot program that encourages diesel emission and greenhouse gas reduction technologies at Superfund sites, emphasizing:
By using cleaner burning technology, the Navy and Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton will reduce total PM10 emissions from excavation by 27%, approximately 2.4 pounds per week. Additionally, more than 100,000 cubic yards of excavated soil will be transported for disposal via train instead of truck, keeping 6,250 trucks off Southern California roads.
Camp Pendleton is the Marine Corps' primary amphibious training center, training over 60,000 soldiers annually. Land uses include airfield operations, maneuver and impact areas, troop and family housing and recreation areas. In 1989, the EPA placed the base on its Superfund list, due to pesticides found in drinking water well, which is undergoing cleanup.
The EPA's Superfund program identifies, investigates and cleans up uncontrolled or abandoned hazardous waste sites throughout the United States. For more information, please visit: epa.gov

So many regions, so little time!!!! All the design directions available based upon where you are and what you love – just think!! Regional design provides a strong connection to the surrounding environs. From selecting artwork to color schemes, decorative accessories and even room scents, creating regionally specific interiors is a fun way to go. Often reserved for second homes, the novelty of focusing on the design theme specific to the region does not always reflect real life.
Real life is usually comprised of a variety of experiences, tastes, acquired objects, interests etc…designing around a specific regional theme is more deliberately focused and therefore not as eclectic as a person's true life experiences and resulting accumulation of possessions and reflection of varied interests.
Seaside design would incorporate decorative accessories, fabrics and colors to represent the surroundings such as nautical themes and the elements of the natural scene incorporating seashells, seascapes, etc…
Therefore, the primary place of residence in such a locale would reflect that context but not necessarily be completely designed around it. The second home would have the novelty of centering the design exclusively on that seaside theme.
Here is a stunning example of the Americana By the Sea Bungalow! A spritz or burning of Votivo's White Ocean Sands in this scene – oh heck – why? Just open the windows and breathe in the salty sea air!!!
While in the metropolitan Washington area, one can't help but notice the architectural influence of colonial times and the interiors which reflect the same.
Steeped in the history of our relatively young country and the pre-colonial decorative arts that came across the water to the New World, the antiques, reproductions and embellishments are telling.
This whimsical casita in Santa Fe illustrates the colorful folk-art of both old and New Mexico, bold paint colors, graphic transitions, and the enchanting architecture of adobe charm. As a second home, the extravagance of collecting and displaying in a fanciful setting is a fun, on-going project!
A corner cabinet by acclaimed folk-art painter Barbara Peabody makes a bold statement housing additional collectibles from Old and New Mexico. A giclee print of a fabulous watercolor by Susan Weeks – the art of decoratively detailed cowboy boots.
Where do YOU live? What themes from your area do you incorporate in your interior design? Get out there are soak it in, gather ideas, start collections, buy local and have fun!!!!!!

By Andi McDaniel, Next Avenue Contributor
At least a couple times a month, an article with some kind of generational war cry makes the rounds. You've seen them in your Facebook feed: "Millennials: Could They Get Any Lazier?" Or "Boomers: When Will They Get Out of the Way of Our Careers?"
Inevitably, one group feels self-satisfied while the other rolls its eyes, feeling misunderstood.
My opinion? We can do better than this.
A new Nielsen report provides fodder for a generational ceasefire, and its insights might surprise you. The research suggests to me that Millennials are more like boomers — and their parents — than the stereotypes would have you believe. Here are five ways how:
(MORE: Are You More of a Boomer or a Millennial?)
1. Millennials are the modern-day coupon-clippers. "Coming of age during the Great Recession imprinted Millennials in important ways similar to Great Depression-era generations," according to the report. "They're more austere, more money-conscious, more resourceful and wary of investing in the stock market."
In July of 2013, the unemployment rate for boomers was 6 percent, and for younger Millennials, 13 percent. In other words, Millennials have been broke throughout their coming of age. And much like the boomers' parents, their worldviews have been permanently shaped by this experience.
But instead of the Depression-era-stuffing-bread-rolls-into-their-coat-pockets, they're seeking deals on Groupon and Shopkick.
2. Millennials are not so selfish after all. Boomers are seen as the ultimate parenting enthusiasts (responsible, after all, for the infamous "My kid's an honor roll student" bumper stickers). But Millennials are also family-oriented, with 52 percent saying being a good parent is one of their most important goals in life. And 63 percent feel it's their responsibility to care for an older parent.
3. Millennials value community, like, a lot. Picture the stereotypical Millennial: hooded sweatshirt, giant headphones, absorbed in a tiny glowing screen, lost to the world. While the hooded sweatshirt part may be true (and OK, fine, the glowing screen), the "lost to the world" part is not.
Millennials are actually highly engaged with their communities. Despite their small paychecks, they contribute to causes (75 percent of Millennials made a financial gift to a nonprofit in 2013), and they're avid volunteers (more Millennials did volunteer work in 2013 than any other generation).

4. Let's talk about the technology thing. There's no question that Millennials are more absorbed in technology than any previous generation. And boomers should relate — across the entire age spectrum, we're all spending more time mesmerized by our screens, and we're all feeling the consequences (or else "tech sabbaticals" wouldn't be rising in popularity).
But I find it encouraging that to Millennials, technology is a relationship tool: "54 percent feel technology helps them be closer to their friends and family," the Nielsen report states.
Whether technology actually does strengthen relationships is a deeper question.
