— Jack Kerouac
A common theme right after the new year was, as it is every year, change or as I like to think of it, new beginnings. Alas, even as I sit here so soon after the new year and work on changing myself, I find that whole New Year's resolution crap just that, crap. I'm not trying to change myself in order to be a part of a social custom, I'm trying to change myself because I dislike the direction that I have taken in my life thus far. And as I talk to my friends I've noticed that little by little their resolutions and adamant proclamations of change have gone by the wayside while I'm still here chugging, huffing, puffing, and getting perilously close to throwing up (thanks Insanity!). Now, I'm not trying to say that I'm any better than my friends, or that I have better goals, or more will power. It's just that I need this to happen. I NEED to change my life. And while sure, my friends need to change some aspects, or lose like ten pounds, or stop eating right before, they were trying to change aspects. I'm changing my life.
I began this process shortly before the New Year. In fact it was two days after Christmas when I decided to quit smoking (for the umpteenth time). Needless to say, it was a failed scheme. It wasn't until I read this book (by book I mean first chapter) by Charles Duhigg called The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. It's not like those typical self-help books, well it may be, but I don't read them so as far as I'm concerned it's not. It reminds me a lot of Malcom Gladwell and some of the books he's published.
Essentially, this book has helped me by pointing out that one of the reasons I keep making the same mistakes over and over again is due to the fact that I have bad habits, and if I change those habits by A) replacing the bad ones with good ones and B) having enough faith in myself to do it, then I can and will succeed in changing my life. Because that is the ultimate goal. Change my life, succeed and become the person that I not only want to be but the person I am meant to be.

I've decided to begin blogging in an effort to continue my education not only inside the classroom but out. I also want to use this platform as a way to document and record the changes I will slowly be making in my life over the coming months and hopefully years as well as a form of motivation. So, here it goes.
Since the new year, I have quit smoking cigarettes, started insanity and quit school. Bet you weren't expecting that last one. But I am of the mindset right now that I want to make myself happy. And right now, school is not the thing. I have less than 30 credit hours to graduate, I know, what the hell am I doing, right? Well, let me just say this, normally I love school. I used to sincerely enjoy going to class and surrounding myself with intelligent intellectual individuals in order to garner as much knowledge as I possibly could. Yet, the prospect of going to school for two more semester is enough to start me on a path towards a panic attack. I know it sounds dramatic and childish and thus far silly, but I just can't do it right now. Don't get me wrong, I want to graduate, I want to finish and get a real world job and enter the "daily grind" but first I need to change myself for the better before its too late.
I've been putting off and putting off doing all of these things I want to do. I've been feeling trapped in my daily life. It is now time to change all of that. So, here I am working on the beginnings of a blog in order to document the changes that I will be making in my life. Any and all forms of motivation will be gladly appreciated.

Summary: The Alzheimer's Action Plan is a comprehensive resource for patients and families. It's not likely that most people with memory loss will get the standard of care the authors would want for their own parents, but the guidelines in the book will help patients and families get as close to that standard as possible.
The scenario at the beginning of The Alzheimer's Action Plan will be familiar to many adult children whose elderly parents have memory problems: warning signs, denial of problems by both your parent and his doctor, increasing problems, seemingly sudden diagnosis of Alzheimer's, no advice or support. While this scenario doesn't exactly reflect my family's situation, I wish we had had this book when my father was alive.
I met the authors at ICAD last week. Dr. Murali Doraiswamy is Chief of Biological Psychiatry and past Director of Psychiatry Clinical Trials at Duke University Medical Center. Lisa Gwyther is Director of the Alzheimer's Family Support Program at Duke's Center for Aging and current President of the Gerontological Society of America. The combination of the viewpoint of a doctor involved in clinical trials and that of a social worker who has worked with thousands of families makes The Alzheimer's Action Plan a comprehensive resource.
Dr. Doraiswamy and Ms. Gwyther wrote the book to answer the question they often hear: "what would you do if your mother was starting to have memory problems?" To get a flavor for how the book is structured around real-world concerns, read the last chapter, "Our Top 40 Questions and Answers," first. You'll find thoughtful answers to other questions they hear, including:
- "How do I get my father to go to the doctor when he thinks nothing is wrong?"
- "Is it worth it to get a second opinion? The doctor said my dad's CAT scan was normal, but he just isn't himself anymore."
- "Is there anything I can do now to keep from getting Alzheimer's like my mom and her mom?"
This book has something for everyone - people with memory loss, their families, and anyone worried about cognitive problems. But at 400+ pages, it might be best-suited for the adult children audience the authors had in mind. Parts one and two of the book cover what you need to know when you're in the doctor's office: the latest diagnostic tests, what you can and can't expect from treatment, the pros and cons of participating in clinical trials and patients' rights. Parts three and four are about life outside the doctor's office: living well with early-stage Alzheimer's, dealing with changes in behavior and emotions, and finding peace of mind in later stages. Part five contains advice for a brain-healthy lifestyle.
The real achievement of the book is laying out guidelines or standards for diagnosis and care. If I had had this resource when my father was alive, I wouldn't have had to spend so much time researching diagnosis and treatments. I would have been more comfortable asking Dad's doctors questions.
"Knowledge is power," Dr. Doraiswamy says. "We wrote this book to give families the highest quality information which we hope will empower them to become their own best advocates for better brain and memory health."
But if I had had this book, would my father's diagnosis, treatment or care have been any different? I don't think so. Despite our best efforts, and those of numerous doctors inside and outside of a university-based memory clinic, we were not able to get the kind of diagnostic work, treatment or care described in The Alzheimer's Action Plan. I suspect that is true of many families.
In between sessions at ICAD, I asked Lisa Gwyther if the book raises expectations too high. "I hope not," she said. "What we're trying to do is talk about what's possible, what to aim for as an advocate for yourself or your family member." To be fair, Dr. Doraiswamy and Ms. Gwyther write frankly about the shortcomings of the medical system and the limits of treatments. But what can be done to move toward their vision of excellent care?
From Ms. Gwyther's point of view, the answer may lie in a chronic disease management team approach, where overall patient care is coordinated among a variety of healthcare professionals. "You can't expect to get all of your information from one physician," she said. "Sometimes we need translators or interpreters, and we can get more time and more in-depth answers from experienced geriatric nurse specialists, social workers or other members of the healthcare team. Geriatricians know a lot about dementia, and they are more likely to focus on enhancing function and comfort by treating excess disabilities or other chronic conditions. Sometimes the most important thing you can do is get a 'tune-up and oil change' - go to a geriatrician or your regular doctor and make sure the things you can fix, treat or manage are treated. Then look at what can be done to make your environment safer, and your daily routines and relationships more pleasant and meaningful."
It's not likely that most people with memory loss will get the care Dr. Doraiswamy and Ms. Gwyther would want for their parents, but the guidelines in The Alzheimer's Action Plan will help patients and families get as close to that standard as possible.

What am I?
Because 1 day out of the week I take care of some stuff at my old house and spend some time with my brother. I did nothing wrong. I am always faithful. I am always true. I have never strayed. I always try to prove my love. One spurt of the moment decision leads to a canyon sized split in the trust and caring so many actions. To the point whet a proverbial "fuck you" is necessary. Really? That's just not fair and completely uncalled for.

That picture bugs the heck out of me--who hangs art without clearing off breakable objects around it? I am sure it's all for show but I can barely stand to look at it!
what bugs me is the article, its just not that interesting, rehashed and poorly written..no wonder the SF Chronicle is barely surviving.
Sally305, no need to stress - it's not a picture of a woman hanging art, it's a picture of a woman straightening the art that was already hanging on the wall. Rorschak it baby and find the interpretation that won't cause an aneurysm. :-)
Tredeger: thanks, but it still bugs me. :)

There are dozens of small businesses in Mendham and Chester. Some of them may be places you and your family frequent, businesses that have been around for as long as you can remember. And some may be your go-to places instead of national chains.
AOL Chairman and CEO Tim Armstrong may stand behind a global brand, but he believes in the power of small businesses. In his recent interview with Patch Partners, a website connecting business owners to Patch in local communities, he offered his insight into what can set a small business above the rest of the competition.
Small businesses can hold a lot of power if they are intuitive with their customer base, Armstrong said.
"Small businesses can be nimble and can have intimate relationships with their customers. Knowing what their customers want is a very big advantage."
Armstrong also noted that real success lies in what your business offers that the competitors do not.
"The advice I would give is the same advice I give myself—how do you create a differentiated and time-saving experience versus your competition? If a consumer cannot tell another consumer what unique benefit you offer, you might be missing an opportunity," he said.
Another way to support locally owned small businesses is to participate in American Express's Small Business Saturday on Nov. 24. Last year, over 100 million people participated in this day dedicated to supporting small businesses.
For those who may be unaware, between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses nationwide and that day is this Saturday.
Last year, over one hundred million people came together to Shop Small in their communities on Small Business Saturday. This year, the Definitely Dickens's Holiday Carolers will be on the streets and in the shops during Small Business Saturday in Chester.
This Saturday also marks the beginning of The Historic Chester Business Association's (HCBA) slate of holiday activities.
The spirit of the season will illuminate the town's red-bricked sidewalks and streets with thousands of twinkling, wintry-wonderland snowflakes and colorful banners.
And before the Holly Walk in Mendham kicks off, the business district will be open with deals right in your own backyard.
There are more articles and interviews about small businesses on Patch Partners, where you can also sign up for the Patch Partners newsletter and Patch Partners Twitter feed to stay better informed, grow your small business and strengthen your community.
TELL US: If you are a small business owner, did you find this information useful? If you are a patron of small businesses, do you agree with this advice? What are your favorite local businesses, and why?

The Hon Dr Sharman Stone MP
Federal Member for Murray
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister
for the Environment and Heritage
1 June 1999
Victoria's Superb Parrot Project was recognised as Australia's best, winning at the prestigious Banksia Environment Awards in Melbourne on Saturday Night. They were awarded top honours for best Community Group for their efforts to protect Victoria's endangered Superb Parrot.
Also honoured on the night for their contribution to the environment were Victor Hurley of the Victorian Peregrine Project, winning the Flora and Fauna Award, and Andrew McLennan, winning the Land and Waterways Management category.
Federal Member for Murray, Sharman Stone MP, key note speaker at the National Awards, was on hand to congratulate the winners whose work to revegetate Superb Parrot habitat, protect Peregrine Falcons and replant critically low numbers of Banksia Trees is helping to restore and preserve Victoria's unique biodiversity.
Ministers for the Environment from South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory also attended to present awards.
"Congratulations to all those who have volunteered their time, effort and resources to these innovative. community projects. They are worthy winners of this year's Banksia Environmental Awards," Mrs Stone said.
In total, 18 of the 43 finalists competing in the awards were from Victoria, the highest representation of any state.
Mrs Stone said the Banksia Environmental Awards recognised the leadership and contribution of those of those within the private sector and the community who had made an outstanding contribution to the environment.
"Recognising and celebrating the achievements of the Superb Parrot Project, the Peregrine Project and Andrew McLennan helps to benchmark 'ecologically friendly' standards for others in Victoria, and Australia, to follow," Mrs Stone said.
The Superb Parrot Project is funded jointly through the Federal Government's Natural Heritage Trust, Greening Australia and commercial sponsors. Through the Trust, the Federal Government has contributed over $110,000 in funding to help revegetate and enhance the habitat of the Superb Parrot.
This year the group will plant over 15,000 native trees, fence 20 hectares of grassy woodlands, fence and revegetate 10 kilometres of degraded natural drainage area and undertake a Superb Parrot awareness campaign in schools and clubs throughout the local community.
The Superb Parrot Project is supported by 30 farming families from the Picola and Barmah areas. Box Tree habitat in particular is being protected.
"Through the $1.25 million Natural Heritage Trust we are helping to regenerate, restore and protect the environment by working on local projects in backyards and parkland where we can make a lasting difference."
"The Superb Parrot Project, the Peregrine Project and Andrew McLennan's community efforts now stand alongside past winners such as Ian Keirnan for his Clean Up Australia campaign, and last year's gold award winner Bonlac Foods Ltd.
"Victoria has a proud tradition of environmental management, conservation and sustainable development. The community groups who selflessly dig deep year after year deserve a pat on the back for a job well done," Mrs Stone said.

DOUGHERTY COUNTY, GA (WALB) - Parents who owe back child support payments in Dougherty County have a chance to make amends this week or face tough consequences.
Last week, 900 letters were sent out to child support payers. This Friday, the Dougherty Judicial Circuit Office of Child Support Services will hold a settlement day for those who are behind on payments.
If non-custodial parents don't make arrangements to pay up they could be found in contempt of court and even be arrested.
"We want to make sure that as many children as possible get this support particularly at this time because we're nearing the time when school is about to start and we want to make sure children are financially prepared to go back to school with all that they need," said Dougherty County Assistant District Attorney Greg Edwards.
Settlement day is held periodically. Edwards encourages parents to take advantage of it. Parents should report to Courtroom 218 at the Dougherty County Courthouse Friday between 10 and 2.

OH just cus a woman instigates sex it makes them a slut
- Written by xaraan on Monday, September 26 2011 and posted in Blog
It links to a whole forum discussion about a couple of DC changes. I think most people have had more an issue with her complete change of characterization and it seems done just for sake of sensationalism. But when a woman instigates sex with different people casually then yeah, that's usually the definition. Keep trying.

Spanish Merino wools and the Nouvelles Draperies: an industrial transformation in the late-medieval Low Countries
AbstractThis article seeks to explain why Spanish merino wools arrived so late in the Low Countries, only from the 1420s, why initially only those cloth producers known as the 'nouvelles draperies' chose to use them, and why their resort to such merino wools allowed at least some of them to escape the current crisis afflicting the traditional 'old draperies', and indeed to expand to become the chief producers of woollen cloths in the southern Low Countries during the later fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Although the merino have been by far the world's finest wools, since at least the seventeenth century, English wools had enjoyed that supremacy in the medieval era. The Spanish sheep breeds that produced the first merino wools did not emerge until or after the 1340s; and it took many decades of experimental breeding and improved flock management to produce better quality wools in sufficient quantities for export (first to Italy). Before the introduction of merinos, the indigenous Spanish sheep had produced some of the worst wools in Europe. In the thirteenth century, they were used only in making very cheap, coarse, light cloths, when north-west Europe was producing a wide range of textiles, from such coarse light generally worsted-style fabrics to the most luxurious woollens. For reasons that I have elaborated elsewhere, the onset of a spreading stain of chronic and debilitating wars, from the 1290s, throughout the Mediterranean basin and north-west Europe, resulted in a sharp rise in transaction costs that made long-distance trade in cheaper textiles unprofitable. Consequently, by the 1330s, most north-west European draperies had abandoned export-oriented production of cheaper line textiles to concentrate on very high priced luxury woollens, those that could so much better 'bear the freight'. Furthermore, in Flanders, a considerable number of small-town and village producers engaged in precisely the same industrial re-orientation; but in producing genuine heavy weight woollens, they sought to imitate those of the large Flemish towns; and, in selling their cloths at lower prices, came to be known as the nouvelles draperies. This industrial reorientation meant that cloth producers in the Low Countries became all the more reliant on English wools, above all the traditional urban draperies (who came to use such wools exclusively). The English crown was quick to exploit this dependency by sharply raising export taxes, which, by the 1390s, constituted half of the sales price; and that in turn accounted for up to 70 percent of production costs in the Low Countries' urban draperies. Meanwhile, English cloth exports, very lightly taxed, gained an enormous cost and thus price advantage, but one not fully exploited until the fifteenth century. The catalyst for the final economic crisis, one that brought about the irredeemable decline of most of the urban draperies in the Low Countries, and the expansion of the nouvelles draperies, took place from 1429 to 1473, when the English crown sought to exploit the wool trade even further, in pursuing ill-advised bullionist policies: by requiring that the Calais Staple wool cartel sharply raise prices, that it seel all wools only for 'ready English money' without credit, and that it deliver one third of the sales receipts to the mint in gold bullion. Not until the 1470s did the Burgundians succeed in having these bullionist ordinances revoked. Meanwhile the traditional Flemish and Brabantine draperies, in continuing to use such high-cost English wools exclusively, for fear of losing customers, ensured their own rapid decline, indeed losing markets to both the English cloth trade and the nouvelles draperies, who also acquired considerable capital and labour from the declining draperies. Their success, as less quality-conscious imitators, lay in their willingness to use the far cheaper but now improved Spanish wools. An historic prejudice against pre-merino Spanish wools probably explains whey even they had not used these wools before the onset of this crisis. Having displaced the traditional draperies, the nouvelles draperies reached their apogee in the 1540s, when they were superseded by the sayetteries, after international market conditions had once more favoured long-distance trade in truly cheaper, light textiles.

E 314L • Literary Contests and Contexts
Course Description
This course introduces students planning to major in English to a variety of critical reading methods through a focus on the genre of romance from the medieval period to the twentieth century. In this course we will approach texts as verbal and formal artifacts, closely attending to their making from linguistic and poetic or literary devices: metaphor, simile, imagery, as well as the expectations set for them by their genre as "romance." We will also read these same texts as historical and historicizing documents, trying to determine the political, social, and cultural contexts in which they were written and received, as well as how that context may have changed over time. We will look to the ways these texts function as rhetorical objects, addressing and even constructing a particular kind of audience or reader for themselves. We will look at these texts as particular material artifacts as they span the divide between manuscript and print cultures. As such, we will look to the ways texts (manuscripts, rough drafts, fair copies) become books, objects of cultural and intellectual consumption. We will also study romance as a continuing development of a particular genre even as the works we read span different generic categories: lyric, narrative, and drama. Tracing the development of romance from its medieval aristocratic and clerical origins, through the "Romantic" period and into the modern era, we will note the changing definition of "romance" across literary history. Thus, we will seek to chart the transformation of the term and the genre it represents. What assumptions does the term "romance" invoke to readers of different historical moments? Simultaneously, we will also investigate the transformations wrought by romance. From the ennobling effects of love in medieval courtly fiction to the magical rebirth made possible in Renaissance drama to the psychological revelations of Browning's and Poe's narrators, romance, and the love it depicts, powerfully alters the world. We will look to this genre's ability to reveal and to express a sense of a fully conscious individuality as well as that individual's subjection to others.
The course seeks to develop skills necessary to the English major through extended study of a small number of primary texts, as well as work with secondary materials. We will emphasize critical analysis in our readings, discussions, and writing. Students will also be introduced to archival and secondary research in the Ransom Humanities Research Center and the PCL.

Nate Silver pegs Shaheen re-election chances at 75%; says GOP opportunity 'a little overhyped'
The Republican opportunity to unseat Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is "a little overhyped," says statistician-turned-journalist Nate Silver. Silver was on ABC's "This Week" today after relaunching FiveThirtyEight. "It's time for us to start making the news a little nerdier," he says.
In his updated Senate forecast, Silver makes the GOP slight favorites to pick up the six seats they need to control the chamber — but Shaheen's seat is not one of them. Silver gives the incumbent Democrat a 75% chance of being re-elected — and says Scott Brown doesn't really change the equation:
[A]s Harry Enten noted, Brown isn't terribly popular in New Hampshire, which has long had a love-hate relationship with Massachusetts. Just as important, Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic incumbent, has enjoyed approval ratings that would be good enough to get her re-elected. The political winds in New Hampshire can shift quickly, which is why we're not ruling out a Republican win. But we don't think Brown improves the GOP's chances much as compared with another credible candidate.
"Scott Brown was extremely popular in a different state four years ago," Silver said.

Debt collectors are aggressive and relentless. If you've ever been on their radar, you know how uncomfortable the experience can be. Truth is, we'd rather not ever encounter a bill collector and the best strategy is to pay the bills when they come.
These days, however, more and more people are without the financial means to be as diligent and prompt as they would ordinarily be. Lost jobs and decreased wages have some beating back bill collectors for the first time. Gerri Detweiler, an advisor with Credit.com and co-author of Debt Collection Answers: How to Use Debt Collection Laws to Protect Your Rights, provides three tips to help you navigate the waters.
Three Fibs Debt Collectors Use To Get You to Pay Up:
If you've borrowed money, paying it back is the right thing to do. But the reality is there are many people these days who simply don't bring in enough money to keep food on the table, gas in the car, and pay the bills on top of all that.
If that's your situation, you'll want to understand your rights when it comes to dealing with debt collectors so you can prioritize your bills, and focus your time and energy on increasing your income, rather than on dodging debt collectors.
Fib #1: If you don't pay, we'll ruin your credit forever.
This is simply not true. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, collection accounts cannot be reported for more than seven years and six months from the date you first fell behind with the original creditor. That's true whether the bill was paid or not. The debt collector is supposed to report that original date of delinquency to the credit reporting agencies so the account can be removed at the appropriate time. If a collection account is not reported accurately, dispute it with the credit reporting agency that lists the incorrect or incomplete information. By the way, there is no difference – as far as your credit scores are concerned – between settling a collection account for less than the full balance or paying off the entire amount due.
Fib #2: If you don't pay, we'll take legal action.
This may come as an implied threat: "We'll have to recommend legal action to our client, the creditor." Or it may be explicit: "If you don't pay today, we'll issue a summons." Unless the collector you are speaking with is an attorney (and I am not talking about someone who just works for a debt collection law firm, but is really just a collector) he really has no business discussing legal action with you.
Often this is just a way for them to add urgency to the situation. You can counter by asking for specific information. "When do you plan to issue this summons?" Or "When do you plan to recommend this legal action." Thank them for the heads up, then write down the answer they give you. Under the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), a debt collector may not threaten to take action it either cannot legally take, or does not intend to take. In other words, a debt collector can't tell you that they are going to take legal action if they don't intend to do so.
This doesn't mean they won't take legal action against you. Don't stop reading yet.
Fib #3: If you don't pay, we'll tell your employer (or neighbors or family members) that you are a deadbeat.
Under the FDCPA, debt collectors are not allowed to tell others about your debts unless that other person is your spouse, attorney, or a cosigner. They can call neighbors or relatives to locate you, if they don't know where you currently live. But they can't say they are calling to collect a debt. And once they have found you, those calls should stop.
So what do you do if you believe a debt collector is breaking the law? First, take thorough notes every time you talk to a collector. Start a file and stash any legal notices you receive, as well as your handwritten notes from your conversation with the attorney. If you suspect the attorney has broken the law, talk with a consumer law attorney (go to naca.net) who can advise you on your rights and options. Sometimes calling a collector on their fib will give you negotiating leverage to work out a deal. At other times, debt collectors go too far and a lawsuit is in order. And if you are struggling with multiple debts in collections, talk with a bankruptcy attorney.
Have you run into debt collectors? How did you handle the experience?

The legal age to borrow money without a cosigner should be 21. To many college students get crazy with the credit card offers. Also those helpful cosigners should be notified if the account is late.

I have a similar, but not identical home address, to someone who skipped out on his debts. His creditors are calling me constantly. I think they are putting a partial address into whatever search engine they are using and the search engine defaults to my address and phone number. I am always careful to disavow any knowledge or responsibility for this person. One of his skipped obligations is his natural gas. AGL did cut my gas off in error. I had to get the PSC involved to get my gas back. However it is also his credit cards and other utilities hounding me. One creditor threatened me. I invited that creditor to meet me in person with my attorney. Invite not accepted.

The final lecture in the SOAS East Asia Art & Archaeology Research Seminar series will be given by Dr Vivienne Lo of UCL China Centre for Health and Humanity. She will present her work on Chinese medical illustrations.
Time: Friday, 21st March 2014, 3 pm.
Place: Room B111 (1st floor), Brunei Gallery, SOAS. All welcome.
The SOAS East Asia Art & Archaeology Research Seminar series is convened by Dr Lukas Nickel, email@example.com
This presentation examines the powerful role of visual culture in the expression of cultural assumptions about the body, healthcare and related practices. It comes at the end of a long-term Wellcome Trust funded project that has brought together 40 scholars from seven different countries around the world in the study of more than 1,400 images (http://wellcomeimages.org, search on "Vivienne Lo").
During the seminar we will look at some of the results of the project and the analyses they permit. I will begin with my own study of medical artefacts and illustrations from the Han dynasty during the period of the formation of a classical tradition. Medical images were deployed at different times in different ways, and for a number of identifiable purposes. They allow us to analyse the text-image relationship, their role in performative contexts or as decorative embellishment and curiosity. A key focus will be the transmission and adaption of illustrations and the reception of Chinese medical illustrations in neighbouring empires, in central Asia, in European medical contexts and in cyberspace.

Political analysts say, without a doubt, Governor Bob McDonnell's legacy in the state's top job will be defined by transportation.Lawmakers passed an historic $3.5 billion funding plan for road, rail and transit last week. It is the first major overhaul of Virginia's transportation funding formula since 1986, and one that has leaders in McDonnell's own party are lashing out, frustrated with new taxes and revenues woven into the plan.Political expert Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, says opposition from Republicans makes McDonnell's political future uncertain. That future, Sabato says, likely won't include a return to public office for the political veteran."Within the Republican party he broke his pledge not to raise taxes," Sabato said. "And there are many within the GOP who simply won't forgive that."
Almost every Republican lawmaker in Central Virginia opposed the plan. Ed Scott, who represents Madison, Greene and parts of Culpeper counties, voted for it.
"I know some people are just flat out opposed, I understand it," McDonnell said. "I understand that there are some revenue increases in this bill, I don't like doing it. But the option is we watch our competitiveness of our state go down, we watch our ability to create jobs and get people out of congestion go down, and we don't solve a problem that has been bugging us for 27 years." McDonnell's support of the bipartisan compromise could help him appeal to moderate voters if he were to run again, but he would first have to receive his party's nomination. That's something Sabato says is unlikely to happen."It's going to be difficult for him even to be re-nominated for high office in Virginia," said Sabato."Looking nationally, I think a presidential campaign is probably out of the picture now."That's a different future than many envisioned for McDonnell, after becoming one of the top names on the GOP's short list for vice president last year. But despite speculation, McDonnell says he still hasn't decided what is next."I'll decide sometime in the summer what I think the next step should be," McDonnell said. "I've got about 10 months left as governor, I'm not going to waste a minute of it."McDonnell will use the next 30 days to review bills passed by the General Assembly. After that, he says he'll keep his focus on attracting business to the commonwealth. Economic development trips are planned to China, Japan and California in April.Regardless of what the future holds for McDonnell, after 22 years in Virginia politics he says he feels incredibly grateful."There is no higher honor than being the governor of Virginia," McDonnell said, "I'm sort of an average kid from Fairfax county, I got the same job as Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry.

Methane Gas in Bermuda Triangle
It is known that large amounts of Methane gas are trapped thousands of feet below the seafloor. If this gas gets released, water density in that area can reduce significantly and the frothy water can no longer provide the buoyancy required to keep a ship afloat.
The Methane Gas theory for disappearances of ships and planes in Bermuda Triangle was not much popular until 1998, when Dr. Ben Clennell of Leeds University England, delivered a lecture at Wales. His main discussion was on Methane gas becoming a big source of future energy. He mentioned that volumes of Methane gas can get released as a result of landslides under the ocean floor.
He went on to state that in such an event, the water density in that area and right up to the surface can get so low that it can make a ship drop like a rock. And since the gas is highly combustible, an eruption can also cause a plane flying above it to catch fire and completely get destroyed.
Here is a similar Methane gas phenomena that I heard directly from a diving veteran of Bermuda at a 2005 conference in Bermuda. This is what he said while talking about ships and planes disappearing in Bermuda Triangle:
Methane gas bubbles are formed on the sea floor and gradually they rise to the surface. These gas bubbles are formed below the ocean floor due to dying and decomposing sea organisms. Initially they are very small in size. As they come up, they keep growing in size.
These gas bubbles become so big at times that they even get larger than size of a ship as they float right below the surface of the water. When a ship passes over it, the bubble bursts. And the vacuum inside the bubble completely engulfs the ship taking it down into the bottom. Even planes flying overhead could catch fire during such a blowout.
Well, there are many counter reasons why such Methane gas theory may not actually justify disappearances in Bermuda triangle. Here are those:
1. The largest chunks of Methane reserves are actually found at a distance away from the Bermuda triangle and not really inside the area where most of the disappearances have taken place.
2. Even if Methane gas is to erupt, it has to cross thousands of feet of sediments below the ocean floor and then more than a thousand feet of water in Bermuda Triangle to reach the surface, and then sink a ship. And it has to rise far beyond to burn an aircraft. This itself is a remote possibility. To imagine that a ship or a plane will exactly be there that time, possibility is miniscule.
3. How does it explain the lost ships or planes in Bahamas where water depth is only about 50 feet or so, and where any sunken ship can easily be found.
4. In some occasions, drilling rigs had unknowingly bored into Methane layer under the sea floor and it has been observed that they actually sank slowly due to less dense water. But it was a slow process and they all had enough time to send out messages a number of times. There was never any casualty. Also, in many cases helicopters circling around the area took close pictures of such incidences. And in no case, any helicopter hovering around the area was ever affected.

MILAN--Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena SpA (BMPS.MI) said Tuesday that the so-called Alexandria transaction carried out with investment bank Nomura Holdings Inc. (NMR) hadn't been approved by the bank's board.
Monte dei Paschi's denial follows an earlier statement by the Japanese bank that said the Alexandria transaction was approved at the highest level within Italy's No. 3 bank.
"This trade was fully reviewed and approved prior to execution at the highest level within MPS including their board and also their then Executive Chairman Avvocato Mussari," Nomura said.
Earlier Tuesday, MPS said in another statement it was reviewing a number of structured transactions carried out in previous fiscal years, but still in the bank's portfolio, including Alexandria.
This statement came in response to an article published by Italian daily Il Fatto Quotidiano, which wrote that a derivative contract called Alexandria and designed by Nomura for the bank in 2009 will likely register a loss of 220 million euros ($293 million) to be posted in its 2012 accounts.

North Bend's Pickett and Boalch streets to get much-needed maintenance
In anticipation of an extra $400,000 in annual sales tax revenue, the North Bend City Council has committed to rebuilding stretches of two of the city's worst streets.
In a 4-2 vote, at its June 5 meeting, the council authorized the sale of up to $1,430,000 in bonds for the reconstruction of Pickett Avenue between Northeast Sixth Street to Northeast Twelfth Street, and Boalch Avenue reconstruction. These two projects, estimated to cost $690,000 and $625,000 respectively, are the highest priorities listed on the city's six-year Transportation Improvement Plan.
Only projects identified on the city's six-year plan can use funds from the new transportation benefit district sales tax, which voters approved last November. The sales tax change, from 8.6 percent to 8.8 percent, took effect in January, but city officials did not expect to receive funds from the tax until halfway through 2012.
Other high-priority projects on the list, with start dates anticipated in 2013, include creating a right turn lane for northbound traffic turning from Bendigo onto Park Street, and reconstruction of sidewalk on Second Street.

Alleged iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 Part Photos Leaked
This is it. This is where it starts.
Like iPhone 4, and then 4S and then 5, leaked parts are going to spark the intense rumor, debate and more surrounding the next iPhone release. This time around, it's iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 – two rumored names for the next iPhone to be released this year.
Nowhereelse.fr, the popular French news website that had called the shots on iPhone 5 sometime before the actual release of the device, has posted a couple of blurry photos (permit me to add, crappy) that show, purportedly, speaker enclosures of two distinct devices thought to be iPhone 5S and iPhone 6.
I am at a loss for words because this can either be really crappy news that doesn't warrant a write-up but with a track record like that of Nowwhereelse.fr, things can be quite true too. However, the leaked photos that appear to have emerged from the Chinese sources appear so blurry that any legitimate or credible research into it seems a waste of time.
On MacRumors, where emotions usually run high and fast, one user commented: EXIF data shows the photo was taken using a "Potato." That pretty much sums up my thought on the whole thing.
News about a speaker enclosure part that belongs to iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 is, for the average Joe, absolutely useless. But since this is the first of the large-scale rumors that you are going to start hearing, we wanted to give you a heads up.
One thing that can be noted is that the speaker enclosures are different from that of iPhone 5. There are two of these labeled iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 which in itself indicates that Apple would be producing two distinct devices: a claim that we're not making and we're very very skeptical about.
As regards the iPhone 5S launch date (or iPhone 6 for that matter), our eyes are set for a June time frame. Anything earlier, like March, we're not exactly paying attention to that. Unless Apple does an iPad 4 trick with the iPhone.

Samsung confirms Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note Android 4.0 upgrade
Samsung confirms Android 4.0 update for Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note
Samsung has confirmed that its Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Note handsets will be getting updated to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) in Q1 of 2012.
Most of Samsung's dual core devices will get the upgrade in the near future as well. Though details on the time frame for other devices are sketchy.
Other devices that are in line for the upgrade include the Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
The initial list does not include Samsung's Hummingbird single core devices. These gadgets may be on hold because of their TouchWiz screens.
According to Phandroid, Samsung might be talking a while to figure out how to make TouchWiz work with the ICS platform. It is interesting though that the Nexus S, which is powered by the same chipset, is getting an upgrade in some countries.
Though most of Samsung's gadgets will move to the ICS OS in time, when they do is also dependent on the carriers which sell the phones under contracts, especially in the Western world.
Devices cannot receive upgrades to new operating systems untill they gain the service providers' approval. Fortunately, Indian consumers should be spared all the confusion and given the upgrade in the next few months.
With an early Android 4.0 upgrade, Samsung is going to give competitors like Apple some tough competition in the coming year.
