We would like to thank all our beta testers for their timely response and reporting.
Common minor issues we are aware of are:
1) The lack of upper screen banner for some titles which trigger both region and firmware spoof requirements.
2) Some expected issues related to language fonts
There have been some unique reports of issues related to title exit or first GW3DS entry after installing the update. We believe these are either related to file fragmentation of the 3DS SD card or some users trimming the titles to fit on the red card's micro SD. Please make sure to try a new SD card for the 3DS as well as micro SD for the Gateway card together with a known good un-modified title, where possible.
Installation of the update is simple, download our release HERE and simply replace the "Launcher.dat" file on the 3DS SD card. ENJOY !!

The Battle to End AIDS: Show Me The Money!
Fall/Winter 2012
The grand arc of the global HIV treatment movement has revolved around lowering drug prices, increasing funding, and scaling up health services for people with HIV. Activists have tried to find the right balance of prevention, treatment, and care and have responded to new discoveries by demanding that policy makers create programs that match the science.
But today we are at a crossroads. Will we increase funding and provide universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care -- and break the back of the AIDS epidemic -- or listen to the "fiscal cliff-jumpers" and continue flat-funding, ensuring a global epidemic that will affect generations to come?
Activist Wins
Activists won the initial fight to lower prices on life-saving HIV treatment. Those medicines now cost pennies on the dollar in sub-Saharan Africa, compared with their costs in the U. S. (a generic version of Atripla costs $197 a year, whereas the brand-name version can cost $30,000). But a treatment time bomb is ticking, as newer medicines are more widely patented in low- and middle-income countries, and as the U.S. and European Union coerce developing countries into allowing stronger and longer drug patents.
By 2012, activist campaigns led to $16.8 billion in funding to fight global AIDS -- roughly half from rich nations and half from developing countries. Activists spearheaded the creation of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (the Global Fund), and their persistent demands led George W. Bush to create the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). They also used "insider-outsider" strategies, organizing public protests while fighting their way onto the Board of the Global Fund, into positions at UNAIDS, and into PEPFAR meetings.
During the 2008 Presidential campaign, activists "birddogged" candidates Obama and Clinton by relentlessly showing up at their campaign events. Both candidates eventually committed to PEPFAR funding of $50 billion over five years. They then hounded President Obama, demanding that PEPFAR provide treatment for 6 million people by the end of 2013 -- a goal he finally announced on World AIDS Day, 2011. During the International AIDS Conference in Washington, D.C., last July, thousands poured into the streets calling for policy changes and increased funding. And just before World AIDS day last year, naked AIDS protesters seized the office of U.S. House leader John Boehner to demand that Congress fully fund domestic and global AIDS programs.
Along with international allies in Europe, activists are now campaigning for a small "Robin Hood Tax" on the transactions of financial institutions, which could raise hundreds of billions dollars. That campaign has succeeded in establishing a beachhead in 11 European countries, but the fight in the U.S. will likely take much longer.
New Hopes
There have been breathtaking advances in AIDS science in the past two years. The HPTN 052 study compared the benefits of starting HIV treatment at a CD4 count of 550 versus 250. It found that earlier treatment delayed progression to AIDS, and reduced the risk of heterosexual HIV transmission by 96%. Follow-up studies are looking at the risks and benefits of earlier treatment, at treatment fatigue, and at drug resistance. Broader studies are hoping to confirm the effect of "treatment as prevention" on community viral load, HIV incidence, and death rates, and its cost-effectiveness. Finally, Truvada has been approved to prevent HIV infection, and we have seen promising studies on microbicides and even on vaccines.
In addition, it was reported on World AIDS Day was that nearly 8 million people (including nearly 6 million in sub-Saharan Africa) were taking HIV treatment as of December 2011 -- a 64% increase since 2009. New infections were down 21% from a decade earlier and deaths had decreased by 24% since 2005. And 57% of pregnant women with HIV had received effective treatment both to protect their own lives and to prevent transmission to their newborns.
Much of this progress is the result on U.S. funding. In fiscal year 2012, the U.S. PEPFAR program:
At the insistence of activists, PEPFAR has worked to reduce any negative impact its programs may have on non-AIDS health services and to strengthen care for TB. Global Fund results announced at end of 2012 include:
New Needs
Despite these dramatic successes, the cup is only half full. Well over seven million people with CD4 counts below 350 (making them eligible for HIV treatment under World Health Organization guidelines) are waiting in line to die. And if WHO treatment guidelines move higher -- as U.S. guidelines have -- the number eligible for treatment jumps, and we're only a third of the way home. At present, children are under-treated (28% receive meds), as are men compared with women (47% vs. 68%).
AIDS activists have been less successful fighting for equal and respectful services for men who have sex with men, sex workers, injection drug users, prisoners, people with disabilities, migrants, and other "outsider" groups. These groups consistently have less access to services and often face not only stigma but criminalization as well. As an example, the U.S. government continues to defend its anti-prostitution pledge requirement (a demand that any organization receiving PEPFAR funds has a policy opposing prostitution), expanding it to U.S.-based organizations and taking the case all the way to the Supreme Court.

WALLA Lecture: Social Implications of Nanoscience
Published on
Dr. Ronald Turco is the Director of the Indiana Water Resources Research Center (IWRRC.org). His research is concentrated on understanding how the behavior of microorganism and the processes they control in natural systems, is influenced by human activity. In particular his group has used enzyme activity, phospholipid analysis, and molecular techniques to understand community structure and function as impacted by management and introduction of materials. His early work has concentrated on the fate of pesticides and organics in soil systems. His group has also addressed rhizosphere ecology and managed systems such as turfgrass. His current projects are divided across three theme areas: understanding the fate of introduced E. coli in soil and water and the role these processes play in food contamination, developing a better predictive capacity to understand the environmental fate of manufactured nano materials (fullerenes, single wall carbon nanotubes and nanometals) in soil and water and defining the unintended consequences of using our soil resources for biofuel production. His work on environmental pathogens led to the development of EPI-Net.org a USDA national facilitation project. Dr. Turco teaches two graduate level courses: Soil Microbiology and a new course tentatively titled Biotransformation of Anthropogenic Molecules. He also teaches an undergraduate course on Soil Ecology.

Happy New Year!
Today is a very exciting day for me, apart from being the first day of 2011. I have just launched my new blog, One April Morning, at www.oneaprilmorning.net. I hope you like it.
At this stage, One April Morning will replace Life.Beauty.Laughter., meaning that I will no longer be posting here. Please don't worry, my new blog will be very much in the same vein as this one, just with a fresh starting point. And, hopefully, at least a little better.
Once again, thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all of your love and support throughout the past year.
Wishing you love and happiness for the year ahead, and I hope that you will keep in touch.
With love,

Woman Arrested for Denying Ex-Husband With Fatal Disease Child Visitation Rights [AUDIO]
A $10,000 arrest warrant was issued for Viola Renee Prazma, 51, for parenting interference for taking her child and not notifying the father, Stanley Prazma, who has a fatal disease, of their whereabouts.
According to court documents, Viola and Stanley Prazma had a child in 2008 after their divorce. They maintained an informal parenting plan until the spring of 2012. However, Stanley Prazma was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in March of 2012, and was given two to five years to live. At that point, Viola then told Mr. Prazma she was taking the child on a two-week vacation. She never returned. At one point, she told Mr. Prazma he would never see his daughter again, and that she would never remember her father.
Mr. Prazma arranged for another parenting plan, even though the whereabouts of the mother and child were unknown. Viola Prazma was arrested and returned to Missoula on October 11.
Deputy Missoula County Attorney Suzy Boylen asked acting Justice of the Peace Mike Frellick to continue Viola Prazma's bond at $10,000.
"Due to the complaint, in that the defendant had to be extradited back to Missoula, I don't think she has a lot of ties to the community," Boylen said. "I certainly have some concerns that she might want to try this again.I also ask that she be prohibited from having any contact with the child, Stanley Prazma and his present wife."
Viola Prazma remains in the Missoula County Jail on $10,000 bond.
Parenting interference is a felony that is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, and up to a $50,000 fine.

Warning, Or Maybe Not
Warning. This is not a warning.
In an interview with The Washington Post on Monday, Google senior privacy counsel Jane Horvath was asked about a reported "warning" issued by the German government's Federal Office for Information Security.
According to Germany's top privacy official, Peter Schaar, the information security office had warned the public not to use Google's new Web browser Chrome because it was not fully vetted and had security holes.
"There was no warning issued," Horvath insisted.
She was right.
The Germans had issued a recommendation -- not to use the browser.
"We have not made a warning," said Matthias Gaertner, a spokesman for Germany's Federal Office for Information Security. "We have given a recommendation for the private user not to use Google Chrome, which is in a beta version, for daily Internet use."
Turns out the German IT experts conducted tests on the software and found "security gaps," according to Gaertner. "If you are using this version for on-line banking, perhaps phishing attacks could be successful."
Moreover, he said, though beta versions are fine for testing, they generally should not be used for general purpose browsing.
Google, a spokeswoman said, has no comment.

happywill needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
Rushmore Partners
We are two young entrepreneurs creating a search fund that will be looking to acquire a small business and operate it. As opposed to a traditional private equity firm, we are hoping to help find a company and lead it to the next level. As such, we are a company that wants to evoke the spirit of entrepreneurialism yet stay appropriately dignified.
Here are some examples of logos/websites of companies operating in this industry: http://montebelloholdings.com/, http://trumpetventures.com/, http://www.brownrobin.com/
We want owners and potential sellers of existing small businesses to be able to look at our website or business card and feel both reassured and excited about selling his or her business to us. We want to straddle that line between creativity and youthful exuberance and professionalism.
The logo that we wish to create would be something that incorporates the imagery of this photo: http://www.imdb.com/media/rm3600062720/tt0128445 (without the cigarette) in front of the real Mount Rushmore, either the final version: http://prezkennedy.org/modules/myal…os/318.jpg or the work in progress version:
http://img.timeinc.net/time/daily/2…l_0618.jpg. Since these are copyrighted photos, hand drawn or reinterpretations of the photos would be welcome. Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
We also want the text, Rushmore Partners, to appear at the bottom of the logo and appear strong and trustworthy. We have no predetermined font that we prefer.
As for file formats, we need a vector file version, a jpg and a photoshop version of the logo. We also need a Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Additionally, we need the files in a rectangular rendering that could be displayed as the header on a website as well as a square rendering of the same logo that could be printed on note cards or business cards.

Forward-Thinking Research
By Matt Hawkins
December 3, 2013
Students in Bradley's English department displayed and discussed semester-long research projects at the department's ninth Semi-Annual Student Research Colloquium. Research offered some a glimpse of the professional world and others a deeper examination of topics.
For students like Stephanie Larson '14 in the department's senior project capstone course, research expanded potential career opportunities. Larson investigated the publishing industry in Chicago and realized she was interested in a small segment of a broader field.
"I had no idea about all the different publications there are. It's not just books and magazines, though those are my interests," she said. "This gives me direction about what I want to do and opens up opportunities I didn't know existed."
Linguistics and anthropology courses set Alexis Noll on a path toward a career in linguistics or English-as-a-second-language options. Like Larson, Noll realized her probable profession was broader than she first thought.
"There's a big need in America," she said. "It's more than just teaching. GAP is looking for linguists to work with ads. It's broader than you think because language is everything."
Noll also thought linguistics would allow her to explore the world, particularly South Korea, for a few years before finding a job Stateside.
Beyond career advice, colloquium projects enabled students to dig into topics of interest. Melissa Kriuciunas '14, a psychology major and English minor, analyzed the psychology of masculinity as portrayed in several 20th Century works.
This project gave her a unique understanding of literature.
"All of a sudden, with my psychology background, I'll be reading and will notice a psychology concept," she said. "It's something unique in the English world because I notice things others wouldn't. It happens naturally as I read."
After reading and analyzing Thomas Jefferson's "Notes on the State of Virginia," Cole Stalter '15 realized the concept of national identity was deeper and more complex than he thought.
"I didn't realize a nation starting out has to establish an identity," he said. "We assume we know how to act. We do take it for granted because we do have an established identity."
The twice-a-year colloquium is designed to strengthen students' presentation and research skills that will benefit participants in graduate school and the professional world. Students are encouraged to continue research after discussing their projects at the event Forty-nine students presented 46 projects in the fall colloquium.

hi all,
i have been looking for a new kite quiver and after some research i am between the vegas 08 and the bandit dos. this is because both have great depower, good boosting ability and perform well unhooked.
i have tried the vegas 08 9m and i can say i was quite impressed!!! definitely one of the best kites ever tried, but i have read some forums saying that these kites tend to invert after a couple of crashes and some have issues with strut stiching..
i have found a set of brand new 08 vegases at great price (which can be rarely found new, even second hand), but after reading all these forums i am having second thoughts. my second thought is the bandit dos!
has anybody tried both kites?? are they similar in any way??
there is a lot going on about the bandit dos and the shops claim that soon all of them will be sold out. some have also said that their price might go up!!!
are they really such good kites????
>> let there always be wind

In the Name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Does Quran have everythng?
Does Quran have EVERYTHING we need for our religion, our salvation ? The answer can be found in the Quran itself. Let us find out.
[6:114] Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book FULLY DETAILED? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.
[6:115] The word of your Lord is COMPLETE, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.
[16:89] The day will come when we will raise from every community a witness from among them, and bring you as the witness of these people. We have revealed to you this book to provide EXPLANATIONS FOR EVERYTHING, and guidance, and mercy and good news for the submitters.
[6:38] ..We did not leave anything out of this book..
[12:111] In their history, there is a lesson for those who possess intelligence. This is not fabricated Hadith; this (Quran) confirms all previous scriptures, provides the DETAILS of EVERYTHING, and is a beacon and mercy for those who BELIEVE.
[10:37] "This Quran could not possibly be authored by other than GOD.It confirms all previous messages, and provides a FULLY DETAILED scripture. It is infallible, for it comes from the Lord of the universe." 10:37
[6:126] This is the straight path to your Lord. We have DETAILED the revelations for people who TAKE HEED.
[7:52] We have given them a scripture that is FULLY DETAILED, with knowledge, guidance, and mercy for the people who believe.
[6:19] Say, 'Whose testimony is the greatest?' Say, 'God's. He is the witness between me and you that THIS Quran has been inspired to me, to preach to you and whomever it reaches. Indeed, you bear witness that there are other gods beside God.' Say, 'I do not testify as you do; there is only one god, and I disown your idolatry.

US Senator Scott Brown is angering some conservative activists by trying to shape the new leadership of the Massachusetts Republican Party just weeks after losing a reelection campaign in which he tried to distance himself from the GOP.
Brown, who is keeping options open for his political future, wants his campaign's deputy finance director, Kirsten Hughes, elected chairwoman of the Republican State Committee next month. He sent state committee members a letter endorsing her Friday, two days after current chairman Robert A. Maginn Jr. bowed out of contention for another term.
"Kirsten's success and firsthand experience with local grass-roots building, raising campaign funds, and organizing and winning local campaigns gives her the skills that we need to make our candidates competitive up and down the ballot," Brown wrote.
A favorable chairman could help Brown if he were to soon run again for office and potentially give him more control over the money left in the party's campaign account following last month's election. Currently, there is more than $700,000 in the Massachusetts GOP's federal account, GOP treasurer Brent Andersen told the Globe.
Brown might have an immediate opportunity to run again for federal office if US Senator John F. Kerry leaves his office for a post in President Obama's Cabinet.
But the behind-the-scenes gamesmanship did not sit well with some Republican activists, who said their party infrastructure has long been used to benefit the prevailing politician rather than build grass roots.
"We don't want an establishment candidate shoved down our throat," said Steve Aylward, a conservative-leaning member of the state committee and an unsuccessful candidate for state Senate. "We're looking for someone who will bring the change that we need and make it a healthy party, which is about all candidates . . . not about one candidate at the top."
Brown campaign aides did not respond to multiple calls and e-mails seeking comment. Outgoing chairman Maginn also did not respond.
Brown's emergence as a player in the leadership of the state committee surprised some activists, who noted Brown's emphasis on his bipartisanship and independence during his unsuccessful campaign.
"I have a real hard time reconciling how he campaigned and the positions he took with that desire to get back involved with party politics," Aylward said. "He kind of ran away from Republican values."
Andersen said he is disappointed about how the process is unfolding. "I was happy with the job that Bob Maginn was doing," he said.
But another state committee member, Brock Cordeiro, said he was not at all surprised to see Brown taking an active role in advocating for Hughes. "Scott is the de facto leader of this party," he said. "If anything, I would have been shocked if he had not tried to have a strong public role."
Hughes, a professional singer and an attorney, is a former political field director for the Mass. GOP who ran the party's state convention in 2010. She is also a Quincy city councilor.
Hughes ended up being the first to declare, but her emergence did not discourage others. Rachel Kemp, a state committee member from Dorchester, announced her candidacy Thursday, as did David D'Arcangelo, a Malden city councilor, and Dean Cavaretta of Acton, who are running as a team.
On Friday, Richard Green, 42, of Pepperell announced his candidacy. Green, who was elected to the state committee this year, runs an online auto parts business and is a founder of the Massachusetts Fiscal Alliance, which advocates conservative fiscal principles.
"I want to bring folks together. I want to find common ground," Green said of his interest in leading the state committee.
His entry into the race could pave the way for a battle between Green's conservative allies and Brown loyalists.
Many Massachusetts Republican activists are deeply discouraged, having seen their hopes elevated by Brown's 2010 special election and then dashed in two subsequent election cycles.
But rare opportunities also lie ahead. If Kerry is tapped for a Cabinet spot, a special Senate election could be called for the second time in three years, and Brown would be the prohibitive Republican favorite. Brown could also take a shot at governor in 2014, when the party's 2010 nominee, Charles D. Baker Jr., had been expected to make another run. Reached on Friday, Baker declined to comment on his intentions.
Another wild card was dealt by former governor William F. Weld, who recently moved back to Massachusetts from New York and last week prompted political speculation by granting a series of interviews to the Boston Herald. Some expect Weld to run for the Senate seat, if it opens. He lost the same seat in an epic race against Kerry in 1996.
It is unclear why the Republicans left so much money in their account at the end of such a competitive race. Massachusetts Republican Party spokesman Tim Buckley did not return calls to explain why the money went unspent.
Andersen blamed the "people's pledge" that Brown signed with Democrat Elizabeth Warren, discouraging political parties and other third-party groups from spending money on television, radio, or Internet advertising.
"This is the first election cycle that we actually have some resources remaining where we're not going to be paying off debts for the next several months," he said.Stephanie Ebbert can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter

Ukrainian military forces stopped and seized a vehicle carrying three armed men transporting guns, ammunition, and an estimated 100,000 ballots for a May 11 referendum already marked "yes" for the eastern city of Donetsk to break away and form an independent state, Kyiv Post reports.
The men — which Ukrainian media have described as "armed terrorists" — were found with ballots in the trunk of their car on the outskirts of the city, a police source told the Ukraine Observer.
Many cities in eastern Ukraine have been under siege for about a month, including Donetsk, where the city's main government building and a number of schools have been seized by pro-Russian separatists believed to be backed by Moscow.
The new reports of fraudulent ballots brings to mind a similar incident in Crimea, the region recently annexed to Russia following a March 16 vote. A senior White House official told Reuters there was "concrete evidence" some of those ballots arrived to Crimean cities pre-marked.
The Russian government claimed the Crimea referendum resulted in a 96.7% vote in favor of annexation, although a Russian government agency later wrote on its website that turnout was only 30%, with only half voting in favor of annexation.
While the May 11 referendum seems to be moving forward as planned, even Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a surprising call to postpone the vote "in order to create the necessary conditions" for a dialogue between local representatives and authorities in Kiev, The Daily Beast reported.
"We are also very concerned about the efforts of pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk to organize a frankly contrived and bogus independence referendum on May 11," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said recently. "We flatly reject this illegal effort to further divide Ukraine."

i just got word that dannys line was blown up last night..
The ones I think will be the top three votes tonight are: 1: Danny Gokey2: Alexis Grace 3: Ricky Braddy (Could be Anoop Desai though depending on how America voted.)If I could have a fourth vote it would be for Michael Sarver. I'm hoping that all five I've named make it to the top 12. One comment about Tatiana, she can sing and did OK last night. She was holding back as best she could with her maniacal and inappropriate laughing, even when Tara and Paula tried to entice her to entertain us.
Who i think America will vote for (POLL ABOVE) -1. Danny Gokey (Top Male)2. Alexis Grace (Top Female)3. Toss up between Michael Sarver OR Anoop DesaiI believe it could just be Michael Sarver, just because Simon actually wanted people to vote for him.

Four scarlet jerseys spoiled the perfect sea of blue in the boys race. There were no New Britain girls to challenge the girls. On Tuesday, Oct. 8, the Knights scored a pair of forfeits against New Britain at YMCA Camp Sloper.
Winning was never a question in Southington's final race, and it gave Blue Knight cross country coach Rich Niro a chance to showcase his seniors.
"A team takes on the personality of its seniors, and on both sides I've been really impressed with the way that these seniors stepped into that role," said the coach. "They've been really, really good at keeping a young team focused and teaching them the way that we do what we do. We have 29 freshman between the boys and the girls teams, and all of the seniors have been great as leaders."
Sean Garrison (18:39), Colin Murphy (18:40), Jack Myers (19:05), Barndon Bayron (19:15), and Dylan Sperry (19:16) scored for the Knights as Southington placed 34 runners ahead of New Britain's fourth runner.
On the girls side, Lauren Perkowski (22:09) and Gabi Napoli (22:17) paced the Southington girls for their fifth win of the season. Catherine Myers (22:58), Amanda Hamel (23:34) and Maggie Meehan (24:06) scored on a course that was peopled entirely by Lady Knights.
"It's our senior night, and we have a beautiful day and a beautiful place to run, so we really can't complain," said Niro. "It's hard to keep everyone focused on a day like today, but we still have a lot of little things that we want to focus on at the end of the regular season that should help us in the tournament season that starts next week."
If Tuesday was a day for the seniors, Saturday was a good day for the youth. Niro decided to rest his upperclassmen for the Wickham Invitational Meet and focus on his freshmen in their first event at Wickham Park on an abbreviated 4K rendition of the postseason course.
"With only three days between the Wickham Invite and the CCC Championship at Wickham Park and all of our competitors staying home, I just didn't think that we could send our varsity teams. We couldn't handicap ourselves for the CCC championship."
The Lady Knights won the girls event. Myers (17:59) finished second overall in a two-person race with a girl from Rhode Island. Myers fought ahead of a small group of five runners in the first mile to make it a two person race at the finish. Niro said that it was a great experience on the challenging course.
"Now, she's seen it, so she won't be as intimidated at the conference or state meet," said Niro. "If you have success early at Wickham Park, it will pay off throughout your whole career."
Margaret Meehan (18:58), Alize Rodriguez (19:26), Michelle Woodruff (20:56), and Kim Stafko (21:55) scored for the Knights.
Mark Murdy (16:29) paced the boys to a seventh place finish out of 21 teams. Adam Theriault (17:15), Michael Balaoing (17:19), Dylan Breutzmann (17:37), and Jake Aparo (17:50) scored.
"They did great, but we knew that we had a lot of talent and depth," said Niro. "On the girls side, we put three girls in the top 15, and that's incredible. On the boys side, we had a nice little pack in the front and middle of the race."

Reading 3: Abraham Lincoln's Springfield Farewell Address
On February 11, 1861, Abraham Lincoln departed Springfield for Washington, DC and an uncertain presidency of a nation on the brink of civil war. He was met at the Springfield train station by an estimated 1,000 of his friends and neighbors who wanted to wish him well. The following is an account of the farewell as reported in a Springfield newspaper the following day.
Daily State Journal
Long before the hour appointed for the departure of the special train for Mr. Lincoln and suit, hundreds of his friends and fellow-citizens, without distinction of party, had assembled at the station of the Great Western Railway to tender him their respects, grasp once more that honest hand, and bid him God speed on his eventful journey. A subdued and respectful demeanor characterized the vast assemblage. All seemed to feel that they were about to witness an event which, in its relations to the future, was of no ordinary interest.
At precisely five minutes before eight o'clock, Mr. Lincoln, slowly made his way from his room in the station, through the expectant masses which respectfully parted right and left at his approach to the car provided for his use. At each step of his progress towards the car, friendly hands were extended for a last greeting. On reaching the platform of the car, Mr. Lincoln turned toward the people, removed his hat, paused for several seconds, till he could control his emotions, and then slowly, impressively and with profound emotion uttered the following words:
Friends, no one in a like position, can understand my feelings at this hour, nor the oppressive sadness I feel at this parting. For more than a quarter of a century I have lived among you, and during all that time I have received nothing but kindness at your hands. Here I have lived from my youth until now I am an old man. Here the most sacred ties of earth were assumed; here all my children were born; and here one of them lies buried. To you, dear friends, I owe all that I have, all that I am. All the strange chequered past seems to crowd now upon my mind. Today I leave you; I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved on General Washington. Unless the great God who assisted him, shall be with and aid me, I must fail. But if the same omniscient mind, and the same almighty arm that directed and protected him, shall guide and support me I shall not fail, I shall succeed. Let us all pray that the God of our fathers may not forsake us now. To him I commend you all - permit me to ask that with equal serenity and faith, you will invoke His wisdom and guidance for me. With these few words I must leave you - for how long I know not. Friends one and all, I must now bid you an affectionate farewell.
It was an impressive scene. We have known Mr. Lincoln for many years; we have heard him speak upon a hundred different occasions; but we never saw him so profoundly affected, nor did he ever utter an address, which seemed to us as full of simple and touching eloquence, so exactly adopted to the occasion, so worthy of the man and the hour. Although it was raining fast when he began to speak, every hat was lifted and every head bent forward to catch the last words of the departing chief. -- When he said, with the earnestness of a sudden inspiration of feeling, that with God's help he should not fail, there was an uncontrollable burst of applause.
At precisely eight o'clock, city time, the train moved off, bearing our honored townsman, our noble chief, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, to the scenes of his future labors, and as we firmly believe of his glorious triumph. God bless honest ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Questions for Reading 3
1. What did the reporter mean when he wrote that Lincoln's departure was an event "of no ordinary interest?"
2. According to this reporter, what is the sentiment of the people of Springfield towards Abraham Lincoln?
3. How would you describe Abraham Lincoln's Farewell Address? How long was it? How does Abraham Lincoln's sentiments compare to any prior image or perception of Abraham Lincoln that you may have had before reading the Farewell Address?
4. How does Lincoln compare the challenge of his presidency with that of George Washington? Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

Planted in April 2011. Brought from local garden center.
Just read that it can get up to 25 feet tall!!!.
I think we can finally say that this is now established. Its very full and growing in all directions.
Seems to be filing out. I think the first year it was sort of resettling its roots. However, its a far cry from being 12 feet tall, and its not any bigger than it was when I first got it.
Doesnt look too excited about being in my garden at all.
This is only just surviving really. But hopefully after being in the ground for a year now its roots are settled and it will begin to flourish.
Didnt notice at first but the leaves all look smaller. Then later I was reading about plants and what they do when they lack water and especially when they loose all their foilage and I read that as a stress responce they grow new smaller leaves just to get the photosynthesis working again. Thats what they do with bonai as well. I didnt notice at first but all the leaves are small PLUS they have bite marks taken out of them. I noticed the bite marks but seeing as the whole plant was there I didnt think it was extreme, but maybe in the 4 months I was gone the whole thing was defoilated? Anyway, now its growing proper full sized leaves which you can see in the photos. Interesting really. Also I read that when plants lack water they prioritise root growth which is pretty good as id rather strong root growth, ie better developed base because that should make it more resilient in general including through the winter.

UP: turbulent 1st year for Akhilesh, as promises remain unfulfilled
Amid old and new problems, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, 39, completes one year in office today — more sure-footed than before, but still battling perceptions. Umesh Raghuvanshi reports.india Updated: Mar 15, 2013 08:58 IST
Amid old and new problems, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, 39, will complete one year in office on Friday — more sure-footed than before, but still battling perceptions.
Under relentless attack from the opposition, the youngest CM of India's most populous and politically significant state, has gone back to what he is undoubtedly good at — cycle yatras, albeit with a difference.
Instead of cycling himself, the CM on Thursday flagged off a team of enthusiasts including girls to propagate the Samajwadi Party government's achievements and demolish the opposition's propaganda.
What, perhaps, is bothering him is growing public perception about the government's poor grip on the law and order situation.
Though a close scrutiny of data from the police headquarters tells a different story, what perhaps worries the SP leadership is the widespread feeling that every time there is an SP government in the state, lawlessness increases.
Details of 2011 and 2012 don't show any improvement or deterioration in the state's crime situation.
However, 27 incidents of communal tension in different districts between March and December 2012 have not helped the CM, who has gone full steam ahead in fulfilling poll promises.
Party workers have been assigned the task of improving the government's image on the law and order front. They are on the job with the party manifesto in which a "promises kept" column is ticked in bold.
The CM has become more assured in public, but not yet overcome the impression that the SP old guard run parallel power centres. He has also mastered the art of reacting calmly to criticism, especially from the opposition.
"Those pointing fingers at us will give pass marks in the coming days," he said recently, reacting to the opposition raking up his government's "failures".
