It's three points in the bag for WNY!
Western new york flash have set their season off with a bang on Sunday as they defeat Washington spirit! At the end of the game both teams played really well but it just wasn't the spirits day as the wny managed to beat them 3-1. New yorks flash have been signing a lot of international players this season and it seems to have payed off as Vicky Losada more or less won this game for the flash side scoring 2 of the 3 goals.. and even the goal she didn't score she made it happen with an assist anyway!
Read more about new goal sorcerer Vicky Losada here: http://womensprosoccer.com/new-york-flash-signs-barcelona-captain
Flash coach Aaran Lines was pleased with the teams performance adding he thought the team played "very well".... thanks to the team being "determined" and "organized" which led them to create the good opportunities!
Vicky Losada jumped the team into the lead proving why Barcelona picked her as their captain with a shot in the 15 minute putting the team into the lead early on!
In the second half it was Washington Spirit's turn to fight back and managed to score a equalizer from Christine Nairin, the midfield did it in style with a terrific corner kick that just seemed to curve straight into the back of the net.
But celebrations for the Washington team were short lived as four minutes after the equalizer Brittany Taylor slides a goal in from a assist made by viky.
Then 67 minutes into the game Viky made sure to get another one Adriana Martin (also from spain) passed it to Vicky to finish off the game once and for all!
It was a good game with 2,306 watching the game at Maureen Hendricks Field stadium... seems the nwsl is averaging at 2000+ per game!
Saturday Flash will be going up against Chicago Red stars
This kind of makes who ever
This kind of makes who ever was aying the new york flash were doomed after losing their goalkeeper Adrianna Franch becasue of some injury http://womensprosoccer.com/western-new-york-flash-lose-their-goalkeeper-... a little silly now doesnt it! haha

Authorities say Amelia Middle School received a threatening call from a student on Tuesday.
According to the School Resource Deputy Sheriff, the secretary received a threatening phone call around 10:35 a.m.
The caller stated: "You f_ _ _ ers. I'm coming from Glen Este School on my way to shoot every one of you," before hanging up.
Parents were then notified of the threatening call.
Authorities say after lunch, three students approached the School Resource Deputy and revealed who the caller was. The deputy then spoke with the alleged student, who admitted to making the phone call.
The male juvenile was taken into custody and transported to the Clermont County Juvenile Detention Center.

What's on Your Shoes
Maybe you're thinking, like I was, that it's 11 year old boys who need to be concerned with what's on their shoes, because who knows what they've gotten into, but me? I stay out of the muck and mire, don't I. Or do I?
It is thought that each person can bring in germs like E. coli, klebsiella pneumonia, and serratia ficaria. This is because throughout our day we walk places that contains lots of germs.
The Park: The park has excrement from dogs, rodents and birds.
The Mall: Has the gunk from everyone else's shoes on the floor.
The Public Bathroom: Though I try to avoid public bathrooms anyway, they're a breeding ground for E. coli and bacteria. Yes you may have residue from feces on your shoes.
The Ball Park: Food is often dropped and ignored at sporting events and movies. Movies have gotten better the past few years, but if you're my age you may well remember the sticky floors of our youth. These still occur at baseball games and football games, and are a great place for icky stuff to stick to your shoes.

What can a horse teach us? Some kids are learning the answer to that question -- thanks to a program that pairs horses with kids.
This sweet quarter horse called Esperanza is blind and sick. Her owners couldn't take care of her anymore.
Amanda Moore took her in.
"Horses are amazing animals and they have the ability to make us see things differently," says Amanda Moore of Reigning Grace Ranch Rescue.
Esperanza now lives at Reigning Grace Ranch Rescue in Rio Verde. She will soon join the mentorship program. The idea is to pair troubled kids with rescue horses like Esperanza.
"We have a lot of children at the ranch that come from backgrounds that are not the norm. We put them together, they heal each other."
Elizabeth Jasmine loves the idea. She understands what these horses are going through. She's had some tough times herself.
"Being out here with the horses kind of teaches you like what's going on in your life and teaches you how to fix it," says Krisan Jewel.
Her sisters were in foster care until they found a new home and a new life, just like all of these horses, and it's fun.
"You get to see how it feels on the horse, you get a nice view and you get to learn," says Annie Bernice.
It's not all fun. The kids have to help take care of the horses. With 30 horses there's a lot of mucking to do and everyone has to muck or they don't get to ride. It's part of the program.
The program is working, not just for the kids and their families, but for the horses too.
This is a nonprofit program, and kids from all over the valley are welcome.

One Person Killed in Trimble County Crash
Date of News Release: 10/28/2013
(Milton, KY) One person was killed in a single-vehicle crash on Corn Creek Road in Trimble County this morning. KSP Post 5 received a 9-1-1 call of the crash at 5:55 a.m. Preliminary investigation shows that Bryan Dancer, 25 years old from Bedford, KY, was travelling west on Corn Creek road when the vehicle he was driving left the roadway for unknown reasons. The vehicle struck a tree and continued on before becoming lodged between two other trees. Dancer was pronounced dead at the scene by the Trimble County Coroner. Dancer was not wearing a seat belt and alcohol is not suspected as a factor in the crash.
Trooper Mitchel Hazelett is leading the ongoing investigation. Trooper Hazelett was assisted at the scene by Trimble County EMS, Bedford Fire Department, and Milton Fire Department.

Lord of the Rings Expanding With 'Rise of Isengard' in Fall 2011As we learned at GDC Online, Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) doubled its revenue with its move to a free to play model in September. Its new lease on life continues to gain steam today with the announcement of a new expansion to the game world. 'Rise of Isengard' will expand the realm eastward into Isengard. Pricing was not announced but players will have to purchase the content from the LOTRO store when it arrives in the fall of 2011.
The expansion includes the requisite level cap increase, allowing players to move up to level 70. Those familiar with the story know to expect the conflict with the wizard Saruman and his forces to take center stage in this chapter, and that comes complete with the legendary tower of Orthanc showing up in the game. LOTRO's monster play system—where players become the monsters squared off against the heroes—will also get an overhaul. This will include a new area to play the mode in, new skills and advancements, and an opening of the mode to all players. Here's a first look at all the goods in the 'Rise of Isengard' announcement trailer.

ASAT Responds to Boston.com's "Massachusetts Emergency Workers Learn to Recognize Autism'
Thursday, June 07, 2012
Dear Ms.
I am writing to extend my appreciation for your story titled, "Massachusetts Emergency Workers Learn to Recognize Autism†(Boston.com, May 27, 2012), and commend you for raising awareness about an important issue for individuals with autism and their caregivers.
Teaching first responders about autism and the complexities involved in interacting with individuals with social and communication delays is an incredibly worthwhile effort, especially given the tragic events taking place across the nation. State-wide training programs, like the one offered by the Autism and Law Enforcement Education Coalition (ALEC), can go a long way toward curtailing unnecessary deaths and grief caused by a lack of knowledge about how to interact with individuals with autism.
Thank you for highlighting these sad personal experiences, sharing information about the startling prevalence rates recently reported by the CDC, and providing details about ALEC. The gentle manner with which you approached a sensitive topic and the information you provided may help to promote similar programs in other states. I hope data about the effectiveness of these state-wide training programs will be available in the near future. This will allow us to evaluate whether adjustments to the training are necessary to promote beneficial outcomes.
With much appreciation,
Florence D. DiGennaro Reed, Ph.D., BCBA-D
Secretary, Association for Science in Autism Treatment

The picturesque views across the lush green hills and the cool mountain air offer a sharp contrast to the hustle & bustle of Jakarta & the one hour road trip up to the resort took us through hectic village scapes accented by rushing mountain streams & wide expanses of Tea Plantations and Rice Paddy.
We stopped at a road side stall for a hot cup of local coffee and sat quietly marvelling at the beauty.
Now we are here …….. The famous Puncak Pass.

I discovered I love to teach and that I feel very passionate about my branding technique, which helped me give an awesome class. But I also discovered that I have a very hard time selling my book. Almost like I'm apologetic about it. I even found myself saying, "It's not for everyone". Bad, ali! Bad!
I've been doing a lot of soul-searching about this. I am not ashamed of my writing. I am not ashamed of the story I told. But I do think I wish I hadn't written such a dark story. I'd love to be able to say, "Yeah! This is a great book--you'll love it!"
So, I am making a serious, concerted effort to change my opinion about my own book. I just realized that when I think a reader might not be interested in my book (for whatever reason) I am making a judgement about them. A judgement that they are not the kind of reader who would enjoy my kind of book. But who am I to judge? I mean, isn't that what BECOME is all about? About being more than what others give you credit for? About being more than you ever thought you could be? Heck yes!
Why, then, do I judge my potential readers??
Yes, BECOME isn't for everyone. But NO book is enjoyed by absolutely everyone. So I am resolving to be open-minded about my potential readers and I will trust that said readers will be open-minded when they crack open my book.

Accompanying the growth and development of the organizational structure of Engineering at Baylor University, as reviewed earlier in the History section for the School, the engineering programs have also continued to grow and develop. Currently, the Department of Engineering offers three baccalaureate engineering degrees, four master engineering degrees, and nine joint degree programs.
Semester Hour Requirements
The engineering curricula require a minimum of 129 semester hours. A semester hour is generally one fifty-minute classroom or one three-hour laboratory session per week. Some engineering courses have additional sessions scheduled to facilitate non-lecture group project activities, recitation, or testing sessions.
Baylor Interdisciplinary Core
The Baylor Interdisciplinary Core (BIC) offers a set of comprehensive interdisciplinary courses that provides an integrated approach to knowledge and learning. Engineering students may select the BIC program in place of certain requirements below. Students must be admitted to the BIC program before registering for BIC courses.
Honors Program
The School of Engineering and Computer Science participates in the University's prestigious Honors Program. Superior engineering students are invited to consult the Honors College and their engineering program about integrating the Honors program requirements into their specific engineering major.
Engineering Upper Division
Engineering students may not enroll in engineering courses beyond the sophomore year (i.e., EGR 3000 or above), unless admitted to the engineering upper division. Upper division admission is based on a minimum accumulated quality point average (QPA) for the forty-six semester hours of coursework in engineering, mathematics, basic sciences, and computer science required in the technical core. The QPA is calculated using all attempted hours at Baylor in these areas, including course repeats. Failure to meet the minimum quality point average is a basis for denying upper division admission. Typically, application should be made immediately after mid-term during the semester prior to the junior year. Students whose upper division engineering course QPA falls below a minimum standard after admission to the upper division will be advised by the Department of Engineering Faculty Advising Board until the minimum is reached. The Faculty Advising Board will determine whether regular progress, restricted progress or no further registration in the engineering program is permitted, depending on the records and the resulting QPA of those students. Further, no engineering student is eligible to register for EGR 4390, Engineering Design II, if the student's engineering GPA is less than 2.25. Details regarding advising and upper division admission are available in the Department of Engineering office.
Departmental approval is required for a student to change engineering major after admission to the engineering upper division.
Students seeking an engineering minor or a non-engineering degree may enroll in upper division engineering courses (EGR 3000 or above) with the consent of the Chair of the Department of Engineering.
Internship Program
The summer or semester Internship program is an elective program for combining undergraduate students' engineering education with appropriate industrial experience. Students may receive three semester hours of credit (as EGR 3V95) toward graduation.
Engineering Registration (P.E.)
The Department of Engineering encourages students to seek registration or licensure as professional engineers (P.E.) during their careers. Consequently, students are encouraged to take the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying's (NCEES) Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam prior to graduation. This test, a comprehensive knowledge exam given nationally, is the first step toward professional registration. Baylor engineering seniors have had an excellent pass rate for this exam. The exam is offered on campus during the spring semester.
Requirements for Minor in Engineering
A minor in engineering requires twenty-one semester hours in engineering with:
- Nine semester hours of 3000- or 4000-level engineering electives.
- A grade of "C" or better in all engineering courses used for the minor.
Approval of the Chairperson of the Department of Engineering is required each semester a student takes engineering courses for the minor.

John Fogerty's 'Centerfield' to be Honored at Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
By Craig Muder
May 25, 2010
View a video of John Fogerty sharing his memories of Cooperstown
View a video of John Fogerty talks about the process behind writing 'Centerfield'
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – He's a rock-and-roll legend who changed the face of popular music.
But the little boy who became John Fogerty dreamed first not about guitars and microphones, but rather bats and gloves. And when Fogerty was writing his comeback album in 1984, baseball was in his heart.
That passion for the game manifested itself in "Centerfield," the baseball anthem from the album of the same name. Twenty-five years later, the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum will honor Fogerty and his rock-and-roll classic at the 2010 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on July 25 in Cooperstown.
"It's pretty indescribable," said Fogerty of the first time the Hall of Fame will honor a musician or a song as part of the Induction Ceremony. "I've adored Major League Baseball, and the players have been heroes to me for as long as I remember. I never really expected to be attending an Induction Ceremony, let alone being honored at one.
"It's something that fills me with a lot of pride."
Fogerty, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer who was the driving force behind the late 1960s/early 1970s hit machine Creedence Clearwater Revival, will perform the song on the Induction stage in Cooperstown – just before the Class of 2010 of Andre Dawson, Doug Harvey and Whitey Herzog is formally inducted. The playing of the song "Centerfield" has signaled the start of the National Baseball Hall of Fame's Annual Induction Ceremony for more than a decade.
"For decades, fans at our annual Induction Ceremony have sung along with 'Centerfield' as Hall of Famers take to the stage in a pastoral setting over the central New York landscape," said Jeff Idelson, President of the National Baseball
Hall of Fame and Museum. "Because of the lasting contributions to baseball and Americana made by John Fogerty, we are thrilled to pay homage to him and the song, as we celebrate the silver anniversary with his live performance in Cooperstown. The song captures the spirit and energy of those of us who have dreamed of being a baseball star and playing center field, like Robin Yount, Duke Snider or Willie Mays."
A Bay Area native, Fogerty – who turns 65 on Friday – grew up cheering for Mays as a fan of the San Francisco Giants. But his baseball education started with his father and brothers before the Giants moved west in 1958.
"When I would hear about Babe Ruth or Joe DiMaggio, it all seemed very far away because my father and brothers would talk about it in hushed tones," Fogerty said. "The idea of a Major League Baseball team was really a mythical thing, because there weren't any teams west of the Mississippi. With DiMaggio and Mantle, I grew up thinking that the most hallowed place in the whole world was centerfield at Yankee Stadium."
But as time passed, Fogerty's focus turned from Giants heroes like Mays and Willie McCovey to music and a blossoming songwriting career. As the lead singer and primary writer for "Creedence," Fogerty brought to live such classic rock anthems as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising" and "Fortunate Son."
After striking out on his own in the 1970s, Fogerty maintained a low profile until returning to the national scene with "Centerfield." He played all the instruments on the nine-song disc, which netted a top ten single with "The Old Man Down the Road." The album itself went to No. 1 on the Billboard chart and was certified double-platinum, selling more than two million copies.
The title track, however, was not one that Fogerty expected to be a hit.
"Rock and roll almost has a little rule book of certain things it rejects, and it just seemed like an unwritten rule that sports songs didn't make it," Fogerty said. "I realized that; I knew that when I was making the song. I was waiting for it to be roundly thrashed by the holders of the flame, but I was telling about something that I really love. It just seemed to be something that expressed a state of mind about me, about facing a challenge of some kind or another. I didn't realize that anyone else would even get that."
But very quickly, "Centerfield" was embraced by rock and roll fans as a feel-good smash – and by baseball fans and a faithful tale of youthful dreams.
"I had been away from music for a long time when I wrote the song," Fogerty said. "This was my way of putting my identity on it."
Since "Centerfield," Fogerty has enjoyed vast success as a solo artist – winning a Grammy Award in 1997 for his album Blue Moon Swamp. He was elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 as a member of Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Now, he's ready to perform at another Hall of Fame – this one dedicated to the sport he loves.
"I visited Cooperstown a couple times in the mid-1980s, and I was there in 1989 for the Hall of Fame's 50th anniversary," said Fogerty, who switched his allegiance to the Oakland A's in the 1970s and has remained a fan ever since. "I still love the game. When I'm there in July, I'm going to turn back into a 10-year-old with a ball and a pen, hoping for an autograph."

The Annotated Ramsar List: Trinidad and Tobago
The Annotated Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance
The Convention on Wetlands came into force for Trinidad and Tobago on 21 April 1993. Trinidad and Tobago presently has 3 sites designated as Wetlands of International Importance, with a surface area of 15,919 hectares.
National Policy and Programmes on Wetland Conservation, 2001
site; date of designation; region, province, state; surface area; coordinates

sitios; fecha de designación; región, provincia, estado; área; coordenadas
Buccoo Reef / Bon Accord Lagoon Complex. 08/07/05; Tobago; 1,287 ha; 11°10'N 060°57'W. Restricted Area (in the process of being designated as Environmentally Sensitive Area). Located on the southwestern coast of Tobago near Scarborough, this site contains several under-represented wetland types such as coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove forests. Endangered and vulnerable species in the area include various types of coral (Acropora palmata, Diploria labyrinthiformis, D. strigosa and Siderastrea siderea) as well as the critically endangered Hawkbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and at least 119 fish species. As the major tourist attraction in Tobago, the reef continues to be adversely affected by intense tourist activity and pollutant discharges. So far the restricted area status and existing management plan have been unable to prevent these impacts. Ramsar site no. 1496. Most recent RIS information: 2005.
Caroni Swamp. 08/07/05; Trinidad; 8,398 ha; 10°34'N 061°27'W. Protected Area. An extraordinarily important wetland near the capital Port of Spain, since it is ecologically diverse, consisting of marshes, mangrove swamp (5,996 ha), brackish and saline lagoons, and tidal mudflats in close proximity. A total of 20 endangered bird species have been recorded in the site, including the Scarlet ibis (Eudocimus ruber), Comb duck (Sarkidiornis melanotos), White-tailed kite (Elanus leucurus), Snail kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis), and the severely threatened Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus). The swamp has been modified by attempted reclamation, and there is some seasonal cultivation on the landward fringe. Caroni Swamp is important economically for oyster and fish harvesting, for hunting and for ecotourism. Ramsar site no. 1497. Most recent RIS information: 2005.
Nariva Swamp. 21/12/92; Trinidad; 6,234 ha; 10º23'N 061º04'W. Added to the Montreux Record, 16 June 1993; removed from the Record, 7 January 2002. Forest Reserve. Extensive complex of freshwater swamp forest, permanent herbaceous swamp, seasonally flooded marshes, and mangrove forest. The area supports a rich fauna: at least 13 species of birds, notably Ara ararauna (at least highly endangered; probably extinct); various mammals, including Trichechus manatus (endangered), and reptiles. The fishery provides a livelihood for local people. Human activities include rice, watermelon and marijuana production, felling of mangroves to supply bark to the tanning industry. Subject of a Ramsar Advisory Mission in 1995. Ramsar site no. 577. Most recent RIS information: 1997.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - When facing the task of handling a dispute over a mistake on your credit report score, you must be armed and ready.
At some point in your life, you will likely become familiar with the names Trans Union, Equifax and Experian. They are the credit reporting agencies.
Those names are important because if your credit score takes a hit through some mistake, you will need to do battle.
1. Start your dispute directly with the credit bureau, not the creditor.
2. Contact the creditor in writing. That way you can give them all of the disputed information with an actual letter.
3. You'll also want to keep all records of your dispute. If you send off stuff in the mail, send it "return receipt requested."
4. Take notes of any phone conversations, dates and the names of people you speak with. If you file online, make a copy of records.
5. Be patient. This can take months, but the payoff is big, because sometimes, companies can really mess up your business and it takes a while to unravel.

I don't care what Charlie Crist, the newly minted Democrat vying to return to the governorship of Florida, thinks about the five-decade-old U.S. embargo against Cuba.
Flip or flop, it matters not.
I don't care either what Rick Scott, the Republican incumbent governor, thinks about what is essentially a foreign relations issue.
They both have bigger at-home topics to tackle to win voters who, frankly, will have to choose between the lesser of mediocre candidates.
Neither man is running for a congressional seat or the presidency — but to be the top administrator of and run the state of Florida. I want to see them duke it out on state issues that matter to all Floridians and not on how effectively they pull off emotional manipulation of a people oozing from the open wound of losing homeland and family.
Spare us the politiquería barata — cheap politicking, in any language — and seriously debate, take a stand on the tough stuff: the expansion of casino gambling; existing gun laws that allow criminals to beat murder raps; unfair and unsustainable home insurance rates; education that delivers less employment and costs more (four times more if you're a Florida-educated immigrant child without the right papers).
Those are only a few of the issues that matter in a state growing at a rate of 3.7 percent annually, and predicted to soon surpass New York to become the nation's third most-populous after California and Texas. While growth may be good for the state's economy, it has tremendous quality of life implications for those of us who live here.
I want my governor focused on funding and managing the government services people will need, the road and transportation improvements necessary to accommodate more people and connect booming cities, and educational programs that keep our children engaged and prepare them for a competitive future.
Voters don't need for the governor of Florida to play the role (and badly) of the foreign policy expert.
Neither Crist nor Scott is that, but it didn't keep them from jumping on the Cuban embargo issue, thanks to the launch of the conversation by another non-expert, HBO talk show host Bill Maher.
Maher posed the question to Crist on his Real Time show Feb. 7, throwing in some generalized swipes at Miami's Cuban community and making Ugly American comments about Cuba for laughs.
"I feel like this is something that has been held hostage by a small Cuban community in Florida for a very long time," Maher said. "If we had done the right thing years ago, Cuba now would be St. Barts, and all the kids going on spring break would be there next month having a great time and drinking mai tais. But I don't see a lot of politicians from Florida having the courage to stand up to that small Cuban community."
Instead of calling out the stupidity (but how can you if you don't recognize it), Crist answered with all seriousness: "Well, I think they need to. I think it's the right thing. The embargo's been going on what, 50 years now, and I don't think it worked. It is obvious to me we need to move forward and I think get the embargo taken away. From a selfish point of view, as a Floridian, I'd like to see that happen because a lot of construction would be required on the island, and South Florida could be the launching pad for all of that and really create a lot of jobs for the people of my state."
Really, how?
Is Cuba, under the able eye of Crist, going to become a province of the country of Florida so that the next governor/president can handle construction contracts? And, do you think the ambitious Florida developers in the new Florida-ruled Cuba are going to pay union wages to Floridians or hire islanders for whom $20 is an entire month's salary?
That would've been enough said, except that what followed Crist's bad trip was a predictable party-loyalist soap opera from the Republican camp.
Scott and his running mate, Cuban-American Carlos Lopez-Cantera, jumped right in to support the embargo.
Bad move, especially numbers-wise, as one poll after another concludes that Cuban Americans as well as other Floridians are less likely to have that position these days.
On top of that, it was a defense poorly executed, as the clueless Scott and Lopez-Cantera (who is having trouble remembering his legislative record) couldn't quite verbalize embargo issues well enough to convince a town of "experts" on the matter, much less your average Florida voter. And some of the commentary on social media from Republican leaders about the brouhaha was not only infantile rhetoric, but a throwback to a time when it was acceptable to use the worthy cause of Cuba's freedom to gain votes in local and state elections.
No, Crist's and Scott's stance on the Cuban embargo will not be a hot topic in the Florida governor's race, not even if PolitiFact says so.
Gaining political points by talking tough on Castro went out of fashion at least a decade ago. Remember Mitt Romney, who couldn't stir a Cuban bone in Miami except for that of the party stalwarts, who'll applaud whoever is Republican and vote Republican — period.
And what embargo are they all talking about, anyway?
There's a marked truck parked outside BrandsMart specifically slated to take shipments to the freight forwarding firms that send goods to Cuba from Miami everyday.
Cubans in Florida have been doing business with the island since family reunification flights opened in 1979 — and these days, they send every imaginable good that the Castro regime allows, from Barbie dolls to flat-screens TVs.
As for Americans like Maher who say they're so dying to go to Cuba and think we in Miami are keeping them from it, update your playbook: Plenty of travel providers book trips to Cuba as readily as if it were an excursion to Machu Picchu. They offer all sorts of packages from weekend to two-week trips. Pick your flavor: classic Cuba, off the beaten path, jazz-themed, art-themed, youth-oriented, etc. Yes, the kids not only spend their spring break there, but summers and Christmas vacations as well.
It's all U.S. government approved — and the only one who turns you away is the Cuban government if they don't approve of who you are or what you do for a living.
And Mr. Maher, that drink you need more than you know, is a mojito. A mai tai is a Tahitian-themed, California creation.

How would you know? Have you gone to any of the meetings or rallies? Have you talked with any of the leadership in the TEA parties? The press and the far left (if there is any difference) have lied about and marginalized this fine group of people. The ones I know are extremely knowledgeable and very intelligent as well as caring passionately about this country.

Central Protaras Dream Villa No.7
Protaras, Famagusta, Cyprus
What's Nearby:
Additional Location Information
Protaras is amongst Cyprus' most popular holiday destinations, catering for thousands of tourists every year. Far less raucous than the nearby resort of Ayia Napa, Protaras attracts families and couples keen to experience the area's fabulous beaches, quality accommodation, varied nightlife and wide variety of restaurants.
Purpose built for holidaymakers, the resort is reasonably compact and ideally located on the eastern coastline of Cyprus, with a backdrop of around four miles of golden sands and turquoise waters. While most hotels, bars and restaurants are located in the areas of Fig Tree Bay and Pernera Beach, you're more than likely to be within walking distance of the sea and a beach wherever you stay.
Whether you prefer a relaxing holiday soaking up the sun, or an activity filled break full of unforgettable experiences, Protaras is an excellent choice. There are plenty of beauty spots to explore at your own pace, amongst the best of which are the rugged coves of Cape Greko or the quaint church at Pernera beach. Thrill seekers can head to any number of well maintained local beaches and try their hand at the various water sports on offer, be it kayaking, parasailing, jet-skiing, motor boating or wind surfing.

Barrister Bookcases: Not Just for Books
We love how barrister bookcases keep the dust out of one place where it loves to gather: books. But they can do the same job in keeping the dust off of collections of just about anything. And they look oh-so-classy doing it:
Pictured firstly above, we see one used to display a small collecton of framed butterfly specimens. Next, we see a dish collection arranged in a barrister bookcase in a kitchen, of all places. And finally, a barrister bookcase, generally used to hold law texts, turns a complete 180 and stores a shoe collection!

Barrister bookcases certainly can look good in homes, and buying them second-hand beats their regular high prices.
Love these. I'd like to get one to store our DVDs & CDs. Beautiful display cases, never run across them though!
Keep on the lookout for law firms that are moving or renovating. I got my 3, 5-shelf 6-footers for free from a firm that needed the space.
I think the kitchen idea makes the most sense! It would be so much easier to keep everything clean, love the way it looks!
I use one on my bathroom for much-need storage. One row holds TP and towels, another 2 have baskets with hair supplies and cosmetics and a strange group of aromatherapy oils I got in Costa Rica. The top holds a stack of white washcloths and my jewelry in white ceramic containers that I almost never open. Looks great, highly functional. They are pretty easy to come by in DC because the government has gone paperless (or largely anyway). As documents were converted to electronics, agencies sold off huge volumes. There was one thrift store in Arlington -- near Clarendon, sunny something -- that had an exclusive contract for them -- $50 per stack for many years. That's where I got mine. I think they are far more expensive now.

What great deals you got. They're very expensive new.
Thanks for this post! I've been trying to find something to serve as a buffet in my rather small dining room and this is actually a fantastic idea!
Wish I could get a big beautiful danish credenza, but they are just too big.
Wow. I have one of these that I just gave a makeover to and I never knew what it was or that it had a name! It was always just referred to as "that weird little cabinet shelf thingy" thank you AT, for I have learned something today.
I've loved barrister bookcases since I was child and saw one (military, standard issue, dark blah grey) in an doctors office.
I don't have one yet, but thanks for the drool inducing pics!
I've been considering buying one for books on my husband's side of the bed since we both are allergic to dust. He's one of those who likes to read about a dozen things at once depending on his mood.
I love them! They're so expensive, though, it took me forever to find a reasonable one. Even then, it was veneer . . . but I sanded it down and I'm painting it now (and replacing the pulls).
When it's done, it's going to hold yarn, organized in a spectrum (gorgeous, and so much more functional than bookshelves sorted the same way!). Super excited!
We've been trying to figure out something for our massive amount of vinyl LPs, and these kinds of shelves look pretty awesome. If we can find some of these deep enough, maybe the stereo itself would fit inside.
I've been seeing quite a few of these on Craigslist for bargain prices. You just have to be willing to sift through the ads (and like jessica604, some people don't know what they are, so they label them "curio" or "cabinet").
When I was looking on Craigslist, I was searching for "bookcase glass" or "cabinet glass," so even if they didn't know what it was but they mentioned "glass doors," I'd see it!
Since they're designed to hold big, heavy law books, they probably would be good for vinyls, too.
negative. your standard sized barrister bookcases will not hold 12" records, the openis aremore like 11.5 deep and tall once you factor in door movement. I've scoured craigslist for years trying to find ones that will hold records, my lack of sucess tells me they don't exist.
LOVE barristers!
I have two sets of these. One just like the photo 1. The other I painted white and is a 4 piece just like photo 2! I love these. Best part is... they were all FREE. Picked them up off the side of the road in Hawaii and Maryland. SCORE!
Oh, my gray two piece unit holds plates, bowls, etc. on one shelf. The other shelf holds my bulk storage items in pretty glass jars.
The 4 piece white unit hold GOBS of cookbooks :)
I just found 2 of these on Craigslist for $10. one of them needed to be glued, but no biggie. I'm using them for my sweaters in the bedroom -- they fit perfectly, and you can see all of them at once!
Love barristers. We have a 4 drawer Globe Wernicke with top and drawer base circa 1910. DW hates the oak finish, but I have no plans to paint it....
We have 7 sets of these available. Check them out on my etsy site and also on ebay.
They do NOT hold a standard vinyl record with the door closed. etsy link in profile.

|On convergent series representations of Mellin-Barnes integrals
|S. Friot1D. Greynat
|Multiple Mellin-Barnes integrals are often used for perturbative calculations in particle physics. In this context, the evaluation of such objects may be performed through residues calculations which lead to their expression as multiple series in powers and logarithms of the parameters involved in the problem under consideration. However, in most of the cases, several series representations exist for a given integral. They converge in different regions of values of the parameters, and it is not obvious to obtain them. For twofold integrals we present a method which allows to derive straightforwardly and systematically: (a) different sets of poles which correspond to different convergent double series representations of a given integral, (b) the regions of convergence of all these series (without an a priori full knowledge of their general term), and (c) the general term of each series (this may be performed, if necessary, once the relevant domain of convergence has been found). This systematic procedure is illustrated with some integrals which appear, among others, in the calculation of the two-loop hexagon Wilson loop in N = 4 SYM theory. Mellin-Barnes integrals of higher dimension are also considered.

Washington's $49.5 billion bailout of General Motors saved at least 1.2 million jobs, protected hundreds of thousands of pensions and earned about $40 billion in tax collections, turning what some have dubbed a poor investment into a whopping bang for Uncle Sam, according to a new report.
The bottom line, according to the Center for Automotive Research study heralded by GM: When the full picture of what was at stake is considered, including the potential for millions to be put out of work, the government actually made out big time.
And when bailed-out Chrysler is included, the study found that bailouts to both automakers "avoided loss to the U.S. of $105.3 billion in transfer payments and personal and social insurance tax collections. Additionally, 2.6 million jobs were saved in 2009 alone and $284.4 billion in personal income was preserved over 2009-2010."
The study, "The Effect on the U.S. Economy of the Successful Restructuring of General Motors," addresses the estimates of how much taxpayers have yet to recover in cash from GM and Chrysler, a total of $13.7 billion.
But rather than just focus on that amount, the report points to how much in tax receipts and jobs would have been lost had the bailouts not been successful.
And when the math is done, the report suggests that the U.S. scored big by not losing big.
"If the final net cost of this investment is $11.8 billion in unrecovered funds in GM and the reported loss of $1.9 billion in Chrysler, this net investment would total $13.7 billion in Treasury funds. Our results show the U.S. government saved or avoided the loss of $105.3 billion in transfer payments and the loss of personal and social insurance tax collections — or 768 percent of the net investment. Additionally, 2.6 million jobs were saved in the U.S. economy in 2009 alone and $284.4 billion in personal income saved over 2009-2010," said the report.Paul Bedard, the Washington Examiner's "Washington Secrets" columnist, can be contacted at email@example.com.

Container House by Leger Wanaselja Architecture
- Location: Berkeley, California
- Website: lwarc.com
Cool, modern house, right? It's not just that. It's made from shipping containers, and is "infilling an empty lot overlooking a regional park in the eastern hills above San Francisco Bay."
Leger Wanaselja Architecture took two refrigerated shipping containers (instant structural frame, exterior siding, and insulation), stacked them, and added a third one, cut in half and stacked on itself. Voila! A 1,350-square foot two-bedroom house. Then they created a two-story atrium living room, added bay windows to the upstairs bedrooms, and connected the two upper containers to the space below with stairs and a bridge through the atrium. The result is compact, yet airy.
Green materials include blown cellulose insulation for the roof and floors, 50% fly ash/slg in concrete foundation and piers, "green seal" paint on the interior, wool carpets and bamboo flooring, Solar Tubes for day lighting, Energy Star appliances, a high efficiency water heater, and dual flush Caroma toilets.

such an awesome house. how much does a shipping container go for?
Looks amazing!
would the cost per square foot make these a viable design for rebuilding , in a port city like New Orleans ?
knk: That would be nice but I suspect that this dwelling is anything but affordable.
Its beautiful.
I don't find faulted ceilings cozy.
Not exactly a good idea if the big one strikes SF, right? Is this Earthquake proof on the site of a hill made out of shipping containers?
new containers can cost anywhere from 1,000 - 4,000 (refridgerated containers would fall on the higher end) but you can purchase used containers for considerably less. Assuming the container cost 1,000 that would be $3.12/sq ft (a standard container is 8' wide and 40' long). Containers are extremely structurally sound (they withstand a ton of abuse) but as far as earthquake proof I don't know. My guess is the container would be fine but problems would lie where several containers are joined together.
Actually, remember that the containers are designed to be stacked 6 - 7 units high and then put on a ship that could face storm conditions, without further lashing, attachment, etc. So..they bolt together in a pretty serious way onto dedicated fittings; I imagine the requirements for shipboard usage would accomodate a significant seismic rating.
you're probably right WOV assuming that the method used to bolt them together for home is that same used on cargo vessels. I was thinking there could be a problem where the containers were cut and joined side by side.
This house is a thousand percent better than the other ones I've seen made from shipping containers. I hope this example inspires more great designs.
I agree, this is the best-looking and most appealing shipping container house I've seen.
If your'e interested in the concept and what's been done so far, there's lots of info on fabprefab.com
so where can i get one? :)
Can I try this at home?

Immunization Requirements
The District of Columbia Law 3-20 mandates that all students under the age of 26 must provide an accurate vaccination history and remain up-to-date on required immunizations in order to attend college. Immunization forms are available in the Office of the Registrar and online at www.corcoran.edu . Students who do not comply with the law two weeks prior to the beginning of a semester may be granted a one-month extension, if warranted, at the discretion of the registrar. Failure to comply by the end of the extension will result in administrative removal from classes and termination of enrollment. Students who have had their immunization compliance lapse during the semester cannot register for future semesters until they provide proof of receiving appropriate immunizations, and a hold will be placed on their academic record that prohibits the release of transcripts.
Note: Graduate students in Art Education should be prepared for an extension of immunization requirements beyond age 26 in order to be compliant with the practices of the sites or jurisdictions where these students may be working with children off-site. Please contact the art education program director for more information.

Supergirl Lands in Smallville
By Cynthia Wang
Photo by: Tim Leyes
Supergirl is coming to the CW's Smallville. Canadian actress Laura Vandervoort just got the call Wednesday that she has been cast and will start shooting with Tom Welling, Michael Rosenbaum and Aaron Ashmore next week in Vancouver.
"She's a combination of beauty, intelligence, a certain warmth, and great attitude," Smallville co-creator Al Gough tells PEOPLE. "We've wanted a character to shake things up. She may be Clark Kent's cousin, but that doesn't mean she's going to be the obedient one!"
Since mid-May, when DC Comics approved of introducing Supergirl to the Smallville series, creators Gough and Miles Millar have seen hundreds of actresses for the part but found perfection in Vandervoort, 22, of Toronto, who may be known to fans of the cable series Instant Star as Sadie Harrison. "She was speechless but she was very excited," Gough says of Vandervoort's reaction to the news.
Supergirl will be introduced to viewers as Kara, Clark's cousin, who was born on Krypton and has all of Clark's powers plus the ability to fly. Watch for her to spark romance with Jimmy Olsen (Ashmore) as well.
bad news ray... she's legal
I reckon casting Supergirl for a show like Smallville can't be a very difficult task.

The last 12 months have been a real Cinderella story for Carly Rae Jepsen , so she's certainly not about to miss the ball that is the Grammy Awards. She's nominated in two categories, and she says she'll be there at the February 10 ceremony...with her entire family in tow.
Speaking to The Vancouver Sun , Carly says, "I'll be there for sure. My whole family's going to come down [from Canada] as well, which is exciting for me, just to share that moment with them and to celebrate as a team."
Carly notes that her family's larger than most, because she'll have four parents coming instead of two: her mom and stepdad, and her dad and stepmom. In addition, her brother and sister will attend the ceremony with her, where she's up for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance, both for "Call Me Maybe."
As for the rest of 2013, Carly says she's shooting a music video for her next single, and when she finishes up her current tour with Justin Bieber , she'll go to Japan to headline her first-ever solo tour, which she calls "REALLY exciting." Meanwhile, she continues to write new songs, which she describes as "a hint dancier."

Secure Video Surveillance
Camera Shy
Unless your surveillance cameras are wired directly to a video board, they are notoriously insecure. We show you how to keep your cameras from being compromised.
In issue 121, Marcel Gagné covered the basics of building a video surveillance system using Linux and Kmotion. But, to build a really secure, scalable (with dozens or hundreds of cameras) system that can't be compromised easily by attackers, you'll need to do more.

The last time John Lackey was the winning pitcher in a World Series-clinching game, he famously declared, "This is a long way from Salt Lake."
Lackey is even further removed from his days with Salt Lake City's Triple-A team now, but the Buzz/Stingers/Bees franchise can claim a strong connection to the 2013 champion Boston Red Sox — thanks to Lackey, Mike Napoli and World Series MVP David Ortiz.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Mix in Red Sox first base coach Arnie Beyeler, who's from Moab, and this is a triumph for baseball in Utah.
And after winning three titles in 10 seasons, the Sox obviously have overcome the longtime curse that once befell St. George native Bruce Hurst. The former Boston pitcher already was voted as the 1986 Series MVP in the late stages of Game 6, only to have the New York Mets take advantage of mistakes by Bill Buckner and others to win that game and go on to claim the championship.
Lackey made sure that Ortiz's seemingly guaranteed award stayed in his teammate's possession. He pitched brilliantly in Wednesday's 6-1 victory in Game 6 against St. Louis, just as he did as a rookie in 2002 for the Los Angeles Angels vs. San Francisco.
Ortiz played parts of three seasons (including all of 1999) for the Buzz, who then were affiliated with the Minnesota Twins. He's the first Series MVP ever to have played for Salt Lake City's minor-league team.
The only other such honorees with significant Utah ties include former BYU pitcher Jack Morris with Minnesota in 1991 and Frank Robinson with Baltimore in 1966. Robinson played a full season in Ogden as a 17-year-old rookie in 1953 in the Cincinnati Reds system.
Ortiz went 11 for 16 at the plate in the Series, with two home runs, six RBIs, seven runs and eight walks. This past summer, observing the 20th season of Triple-A baseball's return to Salt Lake City, The Tribune picked Ortiz as the designated hitter on the Buzz/Stingers/Bees all-time team — based partly on what he's gone on to do in the major leagues, winning three world championships and becoming the career hits leader among DHs.
Lackey was promoted to the Angels in July of the 2002 season after an outstanding performance with the Stingers. He was followed by two other former Salt Lake pitchers, Brendan Donnelly and Francisco Rodriguez, on the mound in that Game 7 victory over the Giants.
Napoli played in 21 games as a catcher for Salt Lake in 2006 on his way to the Angels. In the tradition of Hurst, he nearly became the Series MVP for Texas in 2011. But the Rangers ended up losing to St. Louis in seven games, costing him the award.
Napoli was only 2 for 13 at the plate in the 2013 Series, but he drove in four runs.
The only thing that he could have driven home Utah's connection to this Red Sox victory even more is if Game 6 had ended with a groundout. That happened for Boston in 2004 when former Salt Lake first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz caught the final throw of the Series at first base — where Napoli was playing Wednesday.
Then again, considering the controversy that ensued when Mientkiewicz kept that baseball, it's probably just as well that Matt Carpenter struck out swinging.

This is my first time being on tour and I mean really on tour, out of town for a week at a time on tour. I wasn't sure I knew how to be on tour. After spending some time with many different Kindergarten classes before the performances I began to realize that all I needed to know about being on tour I had learned in Kindergarten.
Rule number one, share everything. This rule was easy! After week one we had all passed around a cold of some form. Once we hit the road Sarah and Wendy learned how to share their costumes. I shared all my tissue, gum, tic-tacs, and ibuprophen. Oh, and we all had to share hotel rooms.
#2 Don't hit people. I must have missed this day in Kindergarten. During the fight over the hat I almost hit Wendy in the eye. I scratched Wendy's arm during one show. Sarah hit me in the face once when I was trying to get past her to the prince. Stacey loves to hit whoever is playing Tisbe with a pillow. Maybe we all missed this lesson.
#3 Clean up your own mess. I use to try to pick up all the feathers my boa would leave on gym floors, but after a while I just gave up and picked up everyone's empty water bottles.
#4 Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody. I can't count the number of times "I'm sorry" gets whispered back stage during the show because someone has ignored the "don't hit people" rule.
#5 Wash your hands before you eat. We have all learned to wash our hands or use hand sanitizer after giving high fives and shaking kids' hands. I think we have finally gotten rid of the sickness that we have been sharing!
