Audio Review: BBC Crimes: The Saint Overboard & The Saint Plays with Fire
In late Summer 1995, the BBC brough the Saint back to radio in a series of three radio plays starring Paul Rhys as Simon Templar: The Saint.
The first two of these plays are collected in a single audio release, "The Saint Overboard" and "The Saint Plays With Fire."
"The Saint Overboard" has the Saint teaming up with a female insurance investigator who is trying to catch the culprit behind the looting of sunken vessels. She has a suspect but has to find out where he's hidden the loot.
"The Saint Plays with Fire" on the surface level is about an arson and murder investigation but it has strong political overtones in a story that was originally written right before the outbreak of World War II.
Of the two, "The Saint Overboard" is the weaker story. It's not a bad tale, but it does drag a bit in the middle and some of the side characters were a little tedious. The Saint also plays much more of an anti-hero in the story.
"The Saint Plays With a Fire" is a much more solid play. It's a good mystery and the pre-war setting is pretty intriguing.
Overall, Paul Rhys is decent as the Saint. He's definitely not going to make anyone forget George Sanders, Roger Moore, or Vincent Price, but he does a good job. He's certainly not Val Kilmer and he's a cut above Hugh Sinclair who replaced Sanders as the on-screen Saint in the 1940s.
The rest of the cast turns in exactly the type of solid performance you'd expect from the BBC. While it's not a must-hear for fans of Leslie Charteris' most famous creation, it's still a well-done adaptation.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5.0

Film Review: The Saint (1996)
This film attempts to remake and update Leslie Charteris' character of Simon Templar (aka: The Saint.) In this modern setting, the Saint is still a criminal who hasn't gone straight and finds himself entangled in issues in post-Soviet Russia where control of energy is vital to the future and evil Communist turned evil Billionaire is planning to topple the government by obtaining the secret to cold fusion. The Saint must obtain the secret from Doctor Emma Russell (played by Elizabeth Shue).
Positives: The film does a great job with its location work, bringing to life Russia in Winter with all its cold and grittiness. Elizabeth Shue's character is pretty well-crafted, cutting against the grain of stereotypical scientists who are cold and lifeless and she's longing for something deeper and is hungry for philosophy, truth, and beauty.
Kudos to whoever did Val Kilmer's make up. In this version, Simon Templar is a master of disguise and it seems plausible that he could pull it off with how different he looks in each disguise and Kilmer's dialects are masterful.
Negatives: We can start with spending the first six minutes of the movie gratuitously showing Simon being beaten by a stereotypically overbearing priest for refusing to accept the name chosen for him as he was left at the orphanage as a nameless orphan. Will Hollywood decide this cliche is ever overdone?
In the film's second and third acts, the best it can really manage is typical action slock which is not bad but not really good either. Plus the ending drags out through senseless decompression after the resolution.
I also have to say that the film's understanding of science is dumbfounding. The formula obtained for cold fusion is incomplete, but all our heroine needs is two hours in a room without computers or anything to wrap it up. But hey, it's an action film.
The film's biggest flaw goes back to Templar. The character just isn't likable. In fact, we rarely understand why he does anything. He wants to get $50 million in his bank account to retire...why? Why $50 million? And why does he want to quit? Is he wanting to stay out of jails? Does he not like what he does and feels on some level its wrong? It's never explained.
Part of this is Kilmer who lacks any charm or charisma that actors like George Sanders or Roger Moore brought to the role. There's no swagger in Kilmer's Saint until the end by which point its too late. There's no sense of fun. It's just a guy doing a job and wanting to make money.
The other thing is the way the film was written makes the character hard to like and it's the way he seduces vulnerable women and uses them for his own ends. First, it's a passenger on the plane who just found out her husband is cheating on her and then Doctor Russell, a lonely eccentric romantic longing for something deeper. This is contrary to the original Saint films and TV shows, that while roguish, always fought on the side of angels, and left you with the impression that no innocent person had been hurt.
It would have taken magnificent performance to make such a character likable and Kilmer's mediocre performance just doesn't do it.

Book Review: The Saint v. Scotland Yard
The Saint, a character who remained popular for decades and has been portrayed by everyone from George Sanders and Vincent Price to Roger Moore and Val Kilmer, got his start in literature.
The Saint v. Scotland Yard is a book published in 1932 and it collects three novellas, each featuring the Saint working outside or even against Scotland Yard, near the start of the character's literary career . . "The Inland Revenue" sees Simon trying to shut down a blackmailer. "The Million Pound Day" pits the Saint against a ruthless gang of kidnappers who have a plan to force the printing of a million pounds in fake Italian currency. The final story, "The Melancholy Journey of Mr Teal" finds the Saint trying to steal a jewel thief's loot before the thief's caught by Scotland Yard.
Overall, the stories are decent for the period. They're much more adventures than they are mysteries. The cases are well-written and fun to read.
Those who know the Saint from golden age mediums like radio or the Sanders movies may not recognize much about this early version. While the Saint's billed as the "Robin Hood" of modern crime, the Saint robs from the rich but seems more self-centered. Of course, as this was the 1930s, many people resented the rich and believed the police were corrupt or incompetent, so there was some catharsis in his antics for the common man of the day.
The brilliance of Charteris is that despite the Saint's less than sterling conduct, he makes it really hard not to like him. The Robin Hood analogy seems inapt. The Saint in this book is really reminiscent of a romantic pirate. The Saint is a swashbuckler who laughs in the face of danger and death, and writes poetry in perilous situations. He and his girlfriend Pat are pure adrenaline junkies who get their kicks out of exposing themselves to danger which is kind of fun for people who live more tame lives.
While the Saint is no paragon in this book, he doesn't hurt innocent people. Indeed, the book works because whoever the Saint crosses, we have a sense that they somehow deserve it.
The only other negative to this book are some unfortunate racial language which may make the book less accessible to some readers. Overall though, this was a decent early Saint novella collection.

DVD Review: The Saint Double Feature
In 1941, George Sanders left the role Simon Templar in the Saint series and was replaced by Hugh Sinclair.
The contrasts between Sanders and Sinclair is pretty striking. For Sanders, the Saint was an early highlight of a career that would see him earn parts in A pictures and even earn an Academy Award. For Sinclair, this was as good as it got. Sinclair just didn't have the presence that Sanders did, and so both of his Saint films were below Sanders best stories. Though both films were better than Sanders subpar The Saint's Double Trouble.
The Saint's Vacation (1941) is the better of the two films and truthfully above average when compared to most 1940s B detective features. The Saint is on vacation and gets involved in international intrigue over a music box which serves as the stories Macguffin. It's not an original idea, but the execution of it in this film is pretty enjoyable. The end is somewhat frustrating and drawn out particularly since we never get to find out what exactly the hubbub was about other than that it was a Macguff.
The Saint Meets the Tiger (1943) is based on the first Saint Novel and finds the Saint on the trail of international gold smugglers. Most of the movie is a little boring and hard to follow, so it's a bit below average. However, at the end of the movie, a madcap scene where the Saint's sidekick and girlfriend are knocking people out aboard a ship really livens things up.
So in short, the two films are almost mere images of each other. The Saint's Vacation is an above average film that's pretty interesting in the beginning but is bogged down by a slow ending. The Saint Meets the Tiger is a below average film that's propped up by an ending that's a lot more fun than the film itself.
Overall, I'd give the DVD 3.0 out of 5.0 and recommend it only for Saint completists at its retail price.

The world is getting smaller. So the good news today that Germany and France had unexpected economic growth is a welcome development across the Atlantic. The world economies are more intertwined today than they ever have been before.
Germany and France both reported that they shed recession in the second quarter. Their economies grew at a 0.3 percent rate, figures released today show, according to the Associated Press.
Meanwhile, those two large economies helped ease the recession in the 16 countries that use the euro.
Euro zone gross domestic product fell by only 0.1 percent in the second quarter from the previous three month period, the European Union said.
This news comes on the heels of the Federal Reserve in this country saying the worst is behind us.
Clearly, the U.S. and world economies are still in deep trouble, with unemployment expected to rise. But there are more positive signs lately than there have been since this global crisis began.

Wild computing devices from the late 1800s and early 1900s
Summary: At the beginning of the 20 century, inventors put computing devices on everything from scales to cheese cutters.
TOPICS: Patents
3 of 26Image
U.S. Patent number: 465,255
Filed: Nov. 11, 1890
Issued: Dec 15, 1891
Inventor: Dorr E. Felt
Along with using a pressing motion to record the machine calculations instead of a striking motion, Felt believed his invention provided other improvements, such as a better method of returning the numeral-wheels to zero, automatically recording any zeros to the right of the number being recorded, requiring less force to depress the device's keys, and improved calculation.

U.S. Patent number: 487,824
Filed: Feb. 15, 1892
Issued: Dec. 13, 1892
Inventor: J. W. Culmer
Assignee: The Computing Scale Company
In 1892, J.W. Culmer filed a patent for a device he called a "Computing Scale-Poise"
The patent describes the devices as follows:
"My said invention comprises a sliding device which contains in itself the computing mechanism, the operation of which is effected by the sliding of such device upon the scalebeam of a weighing-scale or the movement of such device in its adaptation for computing the value of articles otherwise measured."

U.S. Patent number: 487,824
Filed: Feb. 15, 1892
Issued: Dec. 13, 1892
Inventor: J. W. Culmer
Assignee: The Computing Scale Company
In the patent, Culmer described how someone would use the device:
"In using the computing-poise with the weighing-scale the operator sets the poise at zero on the beam and the decimal-disks each show "0" at the face-opening. The pointer, if then set at 10 on the price-arc, will thereby move the cam 18, and thereby carry down the disk 8,theyoke-frame, and its connected roll 12 nearer to the center of the disk 7, and assuming the pound-divisions to be two inches apart, or any other fixed distance, the disk 7 and the decimal-disks 4, 5, and 6 will be moved ten times the distance upon their axis as they would if the pointer were placed at "1" on the price-arc and the roll 12 at the periphery of the disk 7."

StrangeLore Update: First Page
So I wanted to share an update of my graphic novel, StrangeLore. It's coming along pretty well and the art is really good.
In fact, I want to share a page with you all.
This is the first page where we meet Brandon. He just arrived down south to live with his Grandmother and Aunt.
Here is the synopsis
Over a year ago, Brandon Hanks lost his friends to a horrific event during a Spring Break trip. While many believe their deaths were caused by a wild animal, Brandon knew it was something else. But his memories betray him, leaving Brandon haunted by nightmares of something unrealistic and impossible. In order to put his life back together, Brandon moves to Marion, Tennessee to live with his grandmother and aunt. As he settles into his new home, Brandon meets the cavalier and handsome Jackson Garrett.
The chemistry between the two boys is instantaneous. However, Brandon fears that his past could quickly end his new-founded relationship, but that's the least of Brandon's problems.
Jackson has some secrets of his own. He comes from a long line of supernatural beings only known through ancient folklore and legends. Once the truth is revealed, Brandon discovers that their worlds are more entwined than they ever could imagine, and his nightmares about his friends' deaths are not just dreams, but a prelude to what's coming.

The plot sounds very engaging and the illustrations are very good. The artist's detail is amazing.
But I have to ask you, sugar: Is the "cavalier and handsome Jackson Garrett" a white man? Maybe it's just me, but knowing you, "Viktor", the answer will be "yes."

Randy has, over time, worked out a really fiendish Cap´n Crunch eating strategy that revolves around playing the nuggets´most deadly features against each other. The nuggets themselves are pillow-shaped and vaguely striated to echo piratical treasure chests.
Now, with a flake-type of cereal, Randy´s strategy would never work. But then, Cap´n Crunch in a flake form would be suicidal madness; it would last as long, when immersed in milk, as snowflakes sifting down into a deep fryer. No, the real engineers at General Mills had to find a shape that would minimize surface area, and, as some sort of compromise between the sphere that is dictated by Euclidian geometry and whatever sunken-treasure-related shapes that the cereal-aestheticians were probably clamoring for, they came up with this hard-to-pin-down striated pillow information. The important thing, for Randy´s purposes, is that the individual pieces of Cap´n Crunch are, to a very rough approximation, shaped kind of like molars. The strategy, then, is to make the Cap´n Crunch chew itself by grinding the nuggets together in the center of the oral cavity, like stones in a lapidary tumbler.
From the novel Cryptonomicon by the utterly brilliant Neal Stephenson.

Here's a clip of the first single off Born and Raised, called "Shadow Days." I'm excited to share the first bit of sound from the album… Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy.
Food for thought: During the 1920s, Charlie Chaplin once went to a Charlie Chaplin-look-alike competition. Chaplin didn't even make it to the finals.
The only thing bigger than Apple was Steve Jobs.
He was our Galileo, our Da Vinci, our Edison and our Franklin…yet somehow more because he was here and now, changing how we lived our lives today.
Goodbye Steve, and thank you for everything.

Some numbers on Internet connectivity in India
Summary: Three reports, one from the government, one from comScore and a study put some numbers on the Internet connectivity in India. With 11.21 Million boradband users, Indians spent 5 hours on average watching video online in January.
Last year I came across an article in the Forbes India magazine that shed light on numbers on broadband in India. According to the article, India had 7.5 Million broadband user with about 400 ISPs bought bandwidth from VSNL, Bharti and Reliance with roughly around 91Gbps being used from the 18.6 Tbps undersea capacity. These numbers are from February 2010. Here is an update on the numbers:
- From 10.92 Million broadband users to 11.21 Million, a 2.7% growth since December 2010.
- 771.18 Million mobile users - 512.26 Million are urban users, 258.93 in rural India.
- Bharti, Reliance and Vodafone lead the mobile service provider marketshare, respectively. (TRAI and MediaNama)
- comScore says 30.2 Million Indians are online.
- 72% of these 30.2 Million watched videos online at an average of 58 videos and 5 hours in January.
- Youtube represents 44.5% of video views in India with 780.7 Million views.
- Facebook recorded 6.6 Million viewers watching 30.1 Million videos.
- Metacafe got 3.9 Million viewers.
- Network 18 and Rediff have a reach of 1.2 Million and 861,000 viewers respectively.
The comScore report says India has a long way to go when compared to the 80%+ video viewers in US, Brazil, UK and Singapore. Today, with increased government interest in improving broadband connectivity in India and the launch of 3G, the numbers are expected to improve. Based on projections, 30% of India's population is expected to be connected over 3G by 2015. The study done by Wireless Intelligence predicts the following:
- 3G connections to grow 3x from 2011 to 2015.
- 80% 3G connections will be GSM and 20% being CDMA based.
- Relaince to have 39% of the CDMA 3G connections, with Tata Teleservices at 30%.
- Bharti to lead 3G marketshare at 18%, followed by Reliance at 15% and BSNL at 13%.

Relative to other types of primary headache, cluster headaches are rare. The pain they produce is severe and tends to recur in the same way each time for individuals who experience cluster headaches.
Cluster headaches occur in groups, or clusters, and individual attacks last about one to three hours on average. The frequency of occurrence may range from every other day to multiple times a day. Cluster periods are followed by remissions that may last months or years.
While symptoms may differ from person to person, the following are common symptoms of a cluster headache:
Sudden onset of pain, generally around or behind the eye (retro-orbital)
Pain builds to a peak in about 10 to 15 minutes
Restlessness or agitation
Red or watering eyes
Nasal congestion
Sweating on the forehead
Eyelid drooping or swelling
The symptoms of a cluster headache may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always see your doctor for a diagnosis.
Males are affected more than females
Headaches typically begin around age 30
Heredity may influence cluster headaches
The exact cause of cluster headaches is unknown
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), cluster headaches are diagnosed by a reported history of a pattern of recurrent bouts of near-daily headache attacks lasting for days, weeks, or months. While not used routinely for diagnosis, positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are being used by researchers to help understand how cluster headaches are caused and how they affect the human body.
A two-pronged approach is necessary for treatment of cluster headaches: acute treatment and prevention. The first step is to stop or at least subdue an attack in progress. The AAFP recommends oxygen therapy through a face mask to help stop an acute attack.
A nasal spray called sumatriptan (Imitrex) is also used to relieve the severe pain of a cluster headache. Sumatriptan is a selective serotonin receptor agonist--a medication that causes blood vessels in the brain to constrict, thereby relieving pain.
The second part of cluster headache treatment is to prevent recurrent attacks by using daily medication. There are numerous medications that are used to prevent cluster headache attacks, but only a few have been tested through randomized controlled clinical trials.
Medications that may be used to prevent cluster headaches include:
Verapamil. A medication that relaxes blood vessels.
Prednisone. A steroid medication that reduces inflammation and swelling.
Ergotamine. A medication that works together with caffeine to prevent blood vessels in the head from expanding.

Lawrence R. Slater
Manager of Quotations
Lake Zurich, IL
With ten years of experience at Eastek, Lawrence has been part of the continuous growth of the organization. His experience working as part of the sales, program management, quoting and purchasing teams has given him a very broad view of what makes Eastek work on a daily basis. He has the ability to enable efficiency in developing projects throughout the whole process from pre-production to full-scale production by drawing on his long experience and history with Eastek.
One of his biggest accomplishments has been to help develop the quote tracking system used to monitor the progress of a quote from initial customer review to the final production pricing. As he can point out, this project provides Eastek with a true differentiation in estimating and production compared to other contact manufacturing companies.
Lawrence feels that working at Eastek is like working in a large extended family. There is always someone who is ready to pitch in to help tackle complex customer requirements. He also reflects that after working here for so long he feels very comfortable within the culture, which helps, since working in contract manufacturing is a very high-stress, and demanding job.

Tournament Overview & Rules
Tournament Overview and Rules
In LIVE, we have a multitude of tournament options for you to enjoy. As a new player sometimes these may look daunting and difficult to understand.
Below is some basic information to help you navigate through our tournament lists.
To access the tournament screen, click on any of the tournament kiosks located throughout the game. There are five tabs on the tournament screen, Slots, Tables, Poker, Guild and Special.
Slot Tournaments
There are several different types of slot tournaments available to play. On the list you will see, 1 hr, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, and WS, as well as those which start at specific times..
The hourly tournaments run for the period posted, for instance one hr. At any time during that open period you can enter it and play your round. Once the tournament period ends, the winner will be determined.
NOTE: If you are booted from a slot tournament, you cannot re-enter it with the same player name. If it is a multi-hour tournament, you must wait till the time limit is up for the player you already entered, before entering with a different player name.
Be sure before you enter that you note the time it ends so that you are sure to have enough time to play your round. If you enter when it has five minutes left till it ends, you won't get to play your full round.
The WS is a winning spin tournament. This means the player who has the most winning spins during the tournament will be determined the winner.
The other slot tournaments have set start and end times. They will show Upcoming under Status and if you highlight one, it will show the information about it, including entry fee and start time, in the window to the right of the tournament screen.
Different types of special slot tournaments are explained at the bottom of this document.

(Sports Network) - With their first win of the season in the books, the New York Islanders will try to make it two in a row when they visit the Montreal Canadiens tonight at Bell Centre.
You can watch the game on TSN and TSN HD at 7pm et/4pm pt.
The Canadiens ended a five-game slide themselves their last time out against Atlanta and will try to post back-to-back wins tonight for just the second time this season.
Montreal needed a shootout to defeat the visiting Thrashers on Tuesday. Scott Gomez notched the winner in the deciding segment as Montreal survived Atlanta, 2-1, at Bell Centre.
Gomez opened the second round by beating Thrashers netminder Ondrej Pavelec with a wrister high to the glove side. After Rich Peverley failed in Atlanta's turn, Brian Gionta closed out the game by eluding a poke check and slipping a backhander into the open net.
"That five-game losing stretch was a little disappointing for us," Gionta noted. "We showed flashes of good stuff and kept to the gameplan. Any two points is big because they have a good team there. They're 4-and-1 and rolling, so it's nice to get a win against an offensive-minded team."
Gionta also provided the lone score in regulation for the Canadiens, while Jaroslav Halak stopped 22 shots for the win.
The Habs could have centerman Glen Metropolit back tonight after he missed the last six games with a rib injury. Metropolit had a goal and an assist in the season opener, but then suffered the injury in Montreal's second game.
Tuesday's victory also marked the first home win of the year for Montreal, which is 1-2-0 at the Bell Centre. The Habs began the year on a five-game road trip and are playing their fourth of six straight at home tonight.
Montreal and the Isles split four meetings last year with each club winning a pair of games on the road. The Canadiens have taken seven of nine overall in the series and have beaten New York in seven of the last 10 encounters at Bell Centre.
The Islanders, meanwhile, began the season with an 0-3-3 record, but finally broke into the win column Wednesday night against visiting Carolina. The victory leaves Toronto as the only winless team left in the NHL.
Frans Nielsen scored the decisive goal in a shootout and John Tavares added a big marker during the extra segment to lift the Islanders to a 4-3 decision over the Hurricanes at Nassau Coliseum. Andy Sutton added a goal and an assist in regulation for the Islanders.
Jeff Tambellini and Nielsen scored in the first two rounds of the shootout, before Carolina countered with a Jussi Jokinen tally. Tavares then ended it when he skated in and beat Cam Ward to the blocker side to secure New York's victory.
"I think even when they got back in the game we still played hard," Tavares said. "We played hard in overtime and came up with some big goals in the shootout."
Matt Moulson and Tim Jackman each lit the lamp for the Islanders, who snapped a 10-game slide dating back to the end of the 2008-09 campaign. Dwayne Roloson stopped 35-of-38 shots for the Islanders.
Tonight, the Isles will shoot for their first road victory of the season after going 0-1-2 as the guest so far this year. New York has dropped six straight on the road dating back to last season.

Each year, the USD students and Equalizers have continued to build their relationships and to make each experience even more meaningful. This year, with the addition of Jim and Lisa and the workshop, I think that we have a foundation for a model that is not only beneficial for both the USD students and the Equalizers but one that will allow us to continue to have meaningful collaborations in Makuleke and perhaps in other villages in South Africa. Despite what we may hear on the news or read in reports about the future of South Africa's democracy, I know that there are a groups of young people throughout the country that long to improve their education and to acquire the skills to be effective leaders and citizens – despite incredible obstacles. To be a part of this process – even if small – is an honor and it renews belief in the human spirit.
Photos of the safari.
There are many reasons why the safari in Kruger National Park is so nice, but for me, the most important aspect of the safari is the fact that we are visiting the area were the Makuleke village existed before the forced relocation in 1969. While I enjoy seeing the animals, the place for me seems much more sacred than other safaris I have been on.
Various photos of the workshop.
More photos of the workshop.
These are various photos of the workshop.
Unlike previous trips to Makuleke, this year we wanted to provide a more structured set of activities for the USD students and Equalizers, and after consulting with the Equalizers last June, we decided upon a workshop model. Of course, the actual content of the workshop was something that was brand new to all of us and I would be lying if I did not admit that I was not sure how well the model would work or how well it would be received. Based on the feedback we received throughout the workshop and through our evaluations at the end, it seems clear that it was a real success. Initially, we thought the workshop would last 5-7 days but because of the interest in it, we ended up having 8 sessions – with many Equalizers telling us they wished there were more. At each session, we had between 20-25 Equalizers (or other interested high school students) in attendance. We were all thrilled that so many participated and that they kept coming back for each session. Keep in mind, that many of the Equalizers are responsible for a variety of chores each day (collecting firewood or water or taking care of family members) and some of them are the oldest adult in their household. The more we learned about the daily lives of the Equalizers, the more we were in awe of the fact that they could make the time to attend the workshop (more on "Getting to Know the Equalizers" below).
While Dr. Lisa Nunn (Dr. Lisa to the Equalizers) was only supposed to "lead" the first two days of the workshop, as it turned out, she lead almost every activity and the success of the workshop is really because of her hard work and wonderful ideas. After visiting South Africa in March as part of a USD faculty development program (which I was on as well), Lisa told me that she wanted to return to see Makuleke and to "help" with the workshop. Whether she likes it or not, she made such an amazing impression that she is going to be part of our trips to Makuleke in the years to come (hopefully). In addition to Lisa joining the group, Dr. Jim Bolender also spent four days in the village to investigate the potential for doing research on water issues (he is working on a similar project in Uganda). Like Lisa, he was greeted with open arms and I think he too caught the "Makuleke Fever" (much like Potomac Fever for the civics geeks – the only difference is that Makuleke Fever comes with a bit more dirt and less hot water). What this means is that the Makuleke Team is growing, and with this, USD's impact in Makuleke will only become more significant.
Okay, back to the workshop. In the photos, I have tried to capture the different activities that we did for the workshop. Basically, each day we started with an Icebreaker activity. The Equalizers and USD students really loved these activities and many of them told us that it was the perfect way to start each session.
We then introduced the students to different ways to increase their confidence (through power stances) and we talked to them about how to write and deliver effective speeches. We encouraged every student to prepare and deliver a three minute speech, and by the end of the workshop, every participant had volunteered to do this (some even decided to go twice). Many of the speeches were incredibly moving and we hope to be able to share them with you after we edit our video on the workshop.
Another component of the workshop was for the Makuleke students to teach the USD students ixiTsonga. Lisa did a fabulous lesson on how to teach a foreign language without speaking English (we learned Latvian!), and from there, we split the students into different groups and over the course of the workshop, they had to present their language lessons.
On the third day of the workshop, we added a component that required the USD and Equalizers to create four groups. The groups came up with their own names, which included: the Freedom Fighters, Mayhem, Matimba, and Changemakers. In their groups, the students were asked to think about and discuss several issues. For example, one day they had to present specific ideas on citizenship. With the prompt, "A citizen should….," the students wrote down the specific attributes of citizenship on poster board. On another day, they had to come up with a list of significant community issues and present these to the entire workshop. We then debated which of the community issues were most important. This activity led to a heated – but respectful – debate about the merits of different community issues. The four community issues that we focused on were teenage pregnancy, high school drop outs, alcohol and drug abuse, and bush criminals. After choosing one community issue per group, each group then had to come up with a list of possible solutions to this issue, and finally, make an action plan on how to implement their solution. While we probably needed to dedicate even more time to these activities, it was incredible to watch the USD students and Equalizers talk about the different issues in their respective communities and to listen to the debates over the possible solutions and action plans.
On the last day of the workshop, we presented the Equalizers with a certificate of completion (the USD students did these by hand), which they really enjoyed. Many of the Equalizers told us that they had never been through an experience like this in the past and they hoped we could do it again next year (if not sooner). They also offered wonderful advice on how to make the workshop better in the future. Overall, largely because of the leadership of Lisa, the workshop was a complete success and to all of you that supported the workshop either with a financial donation or spreading the word to others, we thank you very much.

This paper examines many of the sometimes-controversial issues raised in discussions regarding the design and funding of retirement plans for public employees. However, it does so in a different way. By focusing on development of appropriate benefits and funding policies and the use of risk management principles, we hope to provide public sector policy makers a better way to develop sound and sustainable retirement benefit policies for state and local governments and their employees based on our organization's nearly 90 years of experience providing retirement security to individuals working in the non-profit sector.

Federal telework is hot, but telework centers are not, according to speakers at the Telework Exchange Town Hall on May 2.
Some federal agencies had opened regional telework centers as alternatives to home offices. But the facilities, intended to blend the efficiencies of telework with the capabilities of an office, were not popular. The General Services Administration opened more than a dozen telework centers in 2007, but discontinued funding in 2011.
"Just because you build it, it does not mean they will come," commented Peter Tseronis, chief technology officer at the Energy Department, a moderator at the event.

But did those agencies actually get telework centers near their employees' homes or just near the bigwigs' homes? Did they try to make it easy for their lower level employees to find and use their telework centers?

Facebook page on Sandy Hook shooting victims removed after complaints
Newtown, CT, United States (4E) – Facebook has removed several pages dedicated to the victims of the Sandy Hook primary school shooting rampage in Newtown, Connecticut after complaints.
According to reports, there were at least dozens of tributes added to the social network following the December 2012 massacre that resulted to the death of 20 children and six adults.
BBC reported that the family of one of the victims had raised concern that some pages were being used to spread conspiracy theories and some politicians complained that some users appeared to be scammers.
Greenwich Time stated Kaitlin Roig, a teacher who survived the attack at the school, noticed that some posts claimed the shootings were staged.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, Senator Chris Murphy and Congresswoman Elizabeth Esty's letter to Facebook noted over 100 tribute pages made under Victoria Soto's name or likeness alone and it stated that most of them appeared to be created by loved ones in the names of the victims, but unfortunately, many pages have been used to harass, intimidate and start financial fraud.
A Facebook statement said: "We have created a new, streamlined, customized process with dedicated staff to allow concerns specific to the Sandy Hook tragedy to be addressed directly and immediately, while also recognizing that people across the country want to express grief for a terrible national tragedy."

I am Aria Miriam. Right now I'm only writing one main story: http://www.wattpad.com/story/1260139-the-wolves-of-the-rose-cross (romance/action/drama, boyxgirl so far) I'm also in the process of editing Synchronicity and posting part two of that short story. It is a teen werewolf romance with boyxgirl romance. It doesn't feature any of the cliches (no rejected mate, no weird abuse) I've seen complained about in the forums, so you should check it out. I like paranormal, horror, science fiction, fantasy. Anything that bends what is real. For romance.. I seem to be one of the few on here that prefer girlxgirl stories the most. I also enjoy boyxgirl, boyxboy, and genderbending/transgendered themes too. I like a little bit of everything. ^_^; I love post-rock, post-grunge, industrial, and ambient electronic music.I like to write to movie soundtracks the most though. I spend my life writing most of the time - either code or stories! I have two wonderful cats, and I live above an old bookstore which I think might be every writer's dream. I take singing lessons on the weekends, and I like to build things. I love road trips and cuddling, and I also collect tea.

Thank you guys! I'm sorry I didn't see your replies earlier.
For the composition of that picture, yeah, it was a difficult one because I was sitting in that fancy restaurant with my girlfriend and couldn't very easily more around and also I was very close to that dome, so I had to use a wide angle. The round thing is a platform for musicians. I think it would have look better if I had a higher point of view, but the only higher points of view were closer to the dome. I'm still pretty satisfied with that picture, and will definitely take more pictures. Ah, and I didn't use a tripod in the restaurant, lol! It was a handheld shot, with the table to support my hands.

A fully ambulatory Dean Hodes's testimony: He drew up Nancy's will. He was her personal lawyer, for personal matters and personal matters only. Well, except for the bakery, which unfortunately later burned to the ground. And with the insurance company, after her house also unfortunately burned to the ground. But that's it. Oh, also when the DEA called her in for questioning about the tunnel that started in Mexico and ended in her baby store. (Or maybe, he ponders, it was gang affiliation that time?) No receipts, because she paid him in cash. Um, only once. At this point his profuse sweating comes up and he starts talking about Jews eating Thai food and the whole thing goes down in flames. I miss Isabelle. I miss Celia, of course, but damn do I miss Isabelle.
The Newmen acquire a motorhome at a low price, the reasoning for which is slowly revealed in a really gorgeous way: The lady's husband, Pastor Jim, had it all kitted out, from TV to storage -- namely, a closet full of a serious amount of sex stuff -- and running well, so he wouldn't get stranded on one of his "missions." And there's a ceiling mirror, and a sex sling. Lady's like, "Just get it out of my yard." Doug can identify, but only because he also eventually went down for embezzlement. Not the weird sex stuff.
Getting everything situated, Nancy considers spray-painting the van -- GOD IS AWESOME LOVE!, it screams, with the Love part a little wonky obviously -- flat black, which I'm told is called "murdering" it, as in, it would be a "murdered-out van." I approve, so does Andy, it's probably a real bad idea. Shane asks if he can have Cesar's car, since he's a licensed driver now, and Nancy A) reminds him that his license is fake and B) she's still deciding whether or not she wants to set it on fire. You can tell she delights in the idea. But Shane has her number: "Can I drive it at least once before you set it on fire? Please? I got kidnapped!"
Will they sleep in it tonight? Nancy: "Tonight, and the rest of our lives on the lam." She's all about finding more washing machines -- Pastor Jim already has one in there -- and then she lets Shane drive Cesar's car, in a convoy. Shane's right back on her about testing out of high school, like Silas (wanted to or actually did, I can't remember). At first she's resistant, but then the whole Nancy/Shane thing starts up again and she's like, "You know? Tell you the truth, high school blows. It's overrated, and you're not really suited to it, anyway. You're right. We need an alternative plan, one that's more suited to your path." But not homeschooling, since that's what she's been doing since Agrestic and it hasn't worked out great.

Language study stays England
We can learn a lot from the British: resistance to the rain and cold, a traditional dignified manner whatever the situation and a good portion of black humour. But also flawless English in the very British manner. And the best way to learn it is a language study stay in England. After all, England, as part of the United Kingdom, is the homeland of the English language. Discover endearing British idiosyncrasies outside the classroom. The patient teaching staff will teach the vagaries of the English language in a creative and skilled manner. They certainly have enough experience in doing so: Our school in Bournemouth was one of the first Eurocentres schools to open 60 years ago.
The islanders are sometimes conservative, sometimes eccentric and like to chat about the weather, God and the world over a cup of tea. You too can perfect your English with a language study stay in England while enjoying the sightseeing, fish 'n' chips and driving on the left. A language holiday in the land of black humour and hearty pub evenings is also an excursion into British culture and its peculiarities. You will certainly remember your English experiences for the rest of your life. The five Eurocentres schools are all situated in first-class locations to be able to give you the best opportunity of getting to know the language and its country. Welcome to England!

Corporations that make profit from peace
What if there was a corporation that made more money during peacetime than wartime? Something like a defense contractor that was paid to be prepared for war, but the corporation would be ultimately unprofitable during war. They could hire lobbyists to push for peace. I would really like input on this idea, because obviously right now it is not worthwile.

May 18 2011: Often times, corporations donate funds and solutions to solve issues in the real world. So it is in the duty of the investor to take into consideration the outcomes of these business decisions and quantify the value of these decisions to translate them into monetary gains.
The ultimate goal of a corporation is viewed as generating the largest profit while mitigating the most risk in a venture. So to quantify the impact of it's business decisions that are not normally tracked could turn things around. For example, if a bad corporation dumped chemicals in a lake, this decision should not be forgotten or hidden, it should be tracked to see how much damage the decision has caused in the environment. The impact to the environment should be tracked to see how much the clean up would cost as opposed to if nothing is done. The damage dealt to the environment as well as affected businesses and individuals should be accounted for to get a more complete cost analysis of the situation.
When looking at this 'crisis' in a Chinese proverbial manner, this is an opportunity for another corporation to step in and solve the problem. The trick is for this new corporation to provide a more cost effective way to solve the issue. If this corporation's solution is less than the cost of the crisis if left unattended (which causes the ripple effect to occur where subsequent business are affected are left to clean up the mess), then the corporation at fault as well as the surrounding businesses who would otherwise be affected should invest in the new corporation to attend to the matter. My idea is not fully thought through since there is no profit gained, however this business model would minimize cost expenditures which in turn would bring a monetary value to the new corporation's service in the form of savings.
Unfortunately, we leave these types of accidents up to the governments who are not for profit, or insurance companies who overcharge and are also overcharged themselves.

This is no nostalgia trip, though, because these guys are still making remarkably vital new music on 2009's "Untitled #23." The core of the Church is still the trio of Steve Kilbey, Marty Willson-Piper and Peter Koppes.
8:30 p.m. May 1. $30; $28 in advance. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.
Dave Barnes
Fans of John Mayer and Maroon 5, you owe it to yourself to check this guy out. Barnes occupies the place where the soul-tinged pop of Maroon 5 meets Mayer's sensitive-boy pop-rock. His voice bears a distinct similarity to Mayer's, too, but it's his melodic, hooky tunes that elevate his work above mere imitation. His new album, "What We Want, What We Get," was released in early April.
9 p.m. May 1. $15. The Loft, 1374 W. Peachtree St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.
Dark, blustery and goth as all get out, this Finnish band strikes many as scary Halloween leftovers. Just underneath all that goth-y goodness is hook-filled pop lushness by the boatload. Those chunky guitars and growling bass lines can't disguise the pretty melodies that often surround them.
7 p.m. May 3. $36. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.

A few months ago, I got to spend a wonderful rainy afternoon with William Basinski for Bullett Magazine. There was something spiritual and calming about the combination of damp cool air, Basinski telling stories of love and loss from his NY days in the 80s and listening to new works in progress while sitting in his cosy studio.
Disintegration Loop 1.1 - "consists of one static shot of lower Manhattan billowing smoke during the last hour of daylight on September 11th, 2001, set to the decaying pastoral tape loop Basinski had recorded in August, 2001. Shot from Basinski's roof in Williamsburg Brooklyn, this is an actual documentary of how he and his neighbors witnessed the end of that fateful day. It is a tragically beautiful cinema verite elegy dedicated to those who perished in the atrocities of September 11th, 2001"

Fantasia opened for Jamie Foxx last night at NYC's Madison Square Garden and by "opened" I mean brought a whole bunch of crazy. Fantasia can sing, but damn she looks like she broke out of her straitjacket and escaped from the mental hospital.
