Clerical High School of Saint Arsenije
Clerical Grande école of Saint Arsenije, founded in 1794, is the first Serbian Clerical Grande école, founded three years after the Gymnasium of Karlovci by Mitropolitan Stefan Stratimirović. The second half of the 19th century represent the golden age in the history of this school, when Ilarion Ruvarac became the rector, and Jovan Živković was one of the professors. In that period one of the first departments for bee keeping was established in the school. The Clerical school was closed in 1914, after the World War I reestablished in Belgrade. The modern Clerical school called "Saint Arsenije Sremac" was founded in 1964, in the Palace of the Common funds, built at the beginning of the 20th century by Patriarch Georgije Branković.

What Facebookers Think Joining Those Petition Groups is Doing
Aid runs into president's office
Aid: Mr. President, our Facebook analysis experts have just determined that the Facebook group "15,000,000 to lower gas prices" has reached about 2 million!
President: Sweet Jesus! This is getting out of hand! What about the comment board?
Aid: It's brutal, sir. Joe Smith from UCF writes, "Gas prices suck" and then Brian Parker replied, "Word".
President: For the love of everything that's holy Did you check the picture section?
Aid: Yes and you're not going to like it. As of right now they've already uploaded about 800 pictures.
President: No!
Aid: It's true, sir. Although most of the uploaded pictures are just of lingerie models
President: Lingerie models? But why?
Aid: A recent survey conducted about Facebook concluded that 95% of Facebook users are horny.
President: We're dealing with 2 million angry and horny kids?!!?
President: Hit me.
Aid: Lingerie models as well. Almost 4000 posts of them.
President: There's only one way out of this mess
President opens his desk drawer and pulls out a gun
President: Goodbye, cruel world
What Those Petition Groups are Actually Doing Best Case Scenario
Aid walks by president in the hallway
Aid: So the kids made a Facebook group to lower gas prices
President: That's cute

Kuwait: Real estate sales up notably in 2007 despite sharp drop in May
In its latest economic brief on the monthly statistics of registered real estate contracts issued by the Ministry of Justice, National Bank of Kuwait reports that real estate sales showed a sharp drop during May after a significant increase during the previous month. A total of 886 sales transactions were registered in May, at a value of KD 230.4 million, down 22% and 27% from April, respectively. However, the figures remained relatively high compared to other months. They were up 29% and 26%, respectively, from a year before. The decline in May came from all sectors, with the apartments and commercial sector seeing drops of 27% and 30%, respectively, and residential sector sales down by 25.6% and 21%, respectively.
NBK noted that sales in 2007 were still up notably despite the May decline, with average real estate sales in the first five months of 2007 up by as much as 59% in both value and number of units compared with the same period last year. Most of the growth in sales can be attributed to the rapid growth in sales of residential properties, which rose by 65% in value and 56% in units. Meanwhile, average prices for registered transactions during the period rose by 6% for residential property, while apartments and commercial property saw a 15.6% decline compared to the same period last year.
According to NBK, the value of loans approved by the Savings and Credit Bank (SCB) rose by 39% during May, the most rapid since October 2005, while their number increased by 18%. SCB approved 469 loans in May with a value of KD 17.4 million. The number of loans approved for the construction of new homes and the purchase of existing homes increased by 41% and 14.8%, respectively. While the number and value of loans approved were up during the first five months of 2007 from the same period last year, the average of loans disbursed fell by 19%.

Basque Chorizo
Every year, cousins Brett Wittman and Jason Marwedel compete in a Basque sausage-making contest in California's Sacramento Valley, along with uncles, an aunt, and even Jason's mother. This is a version of their prize-winning sausage. It's a flavorful explosion of five different kinds of chiles--four of them Spanish-style and the fifth a nod to California, ancho chile powder.

- 5 pounds pork shoulder (butt), chilled or semifrozen
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. Rioja or other earthy, dry red wine
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 3 1/2 tablespoons sweet Spanish paprika* (not smoked; pimentón dulce)
- 2 tablespoons piment d'Espellete* or 1 tbsp. hot Hungarian paprika
- 2 1/4 teaspoons bittersweet Spanish paprika* (not smoked; pimentón agridulce)
- 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
- 2 teaspoons sweet smoked Spanish paprika* (pimentón de la Vera)
- 3/4 pound skinless pork back fat*, chilled or semifrozen
- About 1 tbsp. olive oil
- 12 feet of hog casings*
- 1. Put sausage grinding tool, large and medium cutting plates, grinder knife, and meat hopper in the freezer.
- 2. Cut pork shoulder into approximately 1-in. cubes and put in a very large bowl. Add wine and all seasonings to pork shoulder and toss to coat thoroughly, then spread on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Cut fat into 1-in. cubes and put in a medium bowl. Freeze both shoulder and fat until semifrozen, about 2 hours. (Keep meat semifrozen for duration of recipe; otherwise it won't grind easily).
- 3. Assemble grinder and attach to stand mixer following manufacturer's instructions, making sure the chilled grinding tool is fully inserted (you have to twist it in). Grind fat through large grinding plate, a few chunks at a time, into a medium stainless steel bowl. Fat should fall crisply and cleanly out of the grinder; if it smears, it's too warm (return fat to freezer).
- 4. Transfer half of pork shoulder to a large bowl; keep remaining half of shoulder frozen. Grind pork through large grinding plate, a few chunks at a time, back onto its baking sheet and return to freezer. Change to medium plate and grind remaining half of pork onto another baking sheet or large bowl.
- 5. Mix both grinds of pork together with fat, using two large forks and breaking up any clumps of fat.
- 6. Form a small patty from meat and fry in olive oil in a small pan over medium heat to test seasonings. Taste and adjust salt and spices accordingly. If you would like the flavors to mellow, cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill 24 hours before continuing; for a spicier sausage, proceed with the recipe.
- 7. Continue forming patties, or make sausages by stuffing meat into casings. To stuff meat into casings, put grinding mechanism, meat hopper, and ground meat back in freezer. Flush casings with warm water using a small funnel inserted in one end of casing (do this in a clean sink). Soak casings in warm water at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- 8. Follow manufacturer's instructions for assembling stuffer and attaching to mixer, using the medium-size horn and greasing it with butter or lard. Push casings all the way onto the horn in one long piece, as though you were putting on a stocking. Knot the end of the casing. Take out 1/4 of meat from freezer and keep rest in freezer as you work (if it warms up, it will gum up the machine and won't have as nice a texture when cooked).
- 9. Guide meat into casings so it packs tightly and firmly and let finished sausages coil into a bowl. As each reaches the length you like--about 6 to 8 inches and slim is standard for this chorizo--twist it into an individual sausage link or tie off with kitchen twine. Prick any air holes with a sharp toothpick.
- 10. Freeze sausages or patties at this point, or cook. For sausages: Grill over indirect 300° heat or pan-cook over medium heat until they're plump, browned, and shiny (an instant-read thermometer inserted lengthwise reads 145°). For patties: Grill or pan-cook until crisp-edged and browned.
- * A good one-stop shopping source for the paprikas in this recipe is spanishtable.com. Pre-order back fat and hog casings from a butcher shop.
- Fresh chorizo keeps, chilled, up to 3 days; frozen in 2 layers of resealable plastic bags, up to 3 months. Cooked chorizo keeps 1 week; frozen, up to 5 months.
- Note: Nutritional analysis is per sausage.
To make this sausage, you'll need a stand mixer equipped with a sausage grinder attachment (available at kitchenware stores and from amazon.com). If you want to stuff your sausages, you'll need a stuffer attachment (also available at kitchenware stores and from amazon.com) and some hog casings (pre-order from a butcher shop). It's undeniably an adventure to stuff sausages, but well worth it. If you don't feel like going to the trouble of stuffing sausages, you can form the meat into patties.
This may seem like a lot of sausage, but trust us, you will be glad, because everyone you know will want some. Both the sausages and patties freeze well.
The cousins' main piece of advice: Use the best and freshest spices possible--it really matters.

A person familiar with negotiations says Dan Hurley is the new men's basketball coach at Rhode Island.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity about the six-year deal because the school hasn't announced the move. A formal press conference is scheduled for Wednesday.
The Rams went 7-24 this season.
Hurley's hire comes at the right time for the Rams. The Atlantic 10 is moving its conference tournament next season to Brooklyn and the new arena for the NBA's Nets -- a golden opportunity for A-10 schools to recruit in the New York-New Jersey area and market their programs
In his second season at Wagner, the 39-year-old Hurley led the Seahawks, of the Northeast Conference, to a 25-6 record. The former star guard at Seton Hall -- and son of Basketball Hall of Famer Bob Hurley -- also coached nine seasons at St. Benedict's Prep in Newark, N.J.

Cuellar didnt lose any votes, because Travis and his pitchfork carrying gang of haters didnt vote for him anyway.
If they want to engage in serious discussions on issues- they have to do it in a sincere way. As long as the GOP is on "auto-reject" the Dems will put them on "auto-ignore"

Here's a $12 trillion question: Are money-market mutual funds safe?
The industry insists that they are and banking regulators aren't calling in the National Guard, although the U.S. Treasury Department is considering some emergency measures in case of a U.S. debt default.
Yet with the U.S. default risk hissing like a cobra, Congress and the White House at loggerheads and all the bad debt sloshing around Europe, is there a reason to be concerned?
Fear has reared its coiled head again. On Monday, stocks worldwide slumped on fears that Europe's financial woes would spread to Italy.
If Congress doesn't raise the federal debt ceiling, the prospects that interest rates will soar and there will be a run on money-market funds rise dramatically. Everything from company payrolls to Chinese stocks may get gobsmacked.
The government guarantees enacted in 2008 for money-market mutual funds are no longer in place. Money market accounts offered by banks with FDIC insurance are still covered.

I Like 2002's Spider-Man, I Like It Because It Just Came Out Eleven Years Ago Back In May Of 2002.

... at the scene of a crime!
Anxiously awaited by both comic and cartoon fans alike, Sam Raimi brings the extremely popular 'Spider-man' to life on the big screen which is true-to-form and a very rewarding rendition of this much adored action hero. Tobey Maguire is perfectly cast and admirably pulls off the dual role of shy newsboy by day, crime-fighter extraordinaire by night with style and grace. Kirsten Dunst is equally endearing as Spidey's gal pal as there are more than one Kodak moments shared between the two which no doubt will be archived in cinematic annals if romance fans have their vote. Yet it is the title character's battle with the arch-enemy Green Goblin, effectively played by veteran actor Willem Dafoe, which provides the many suspenseful twists and turns evidenced in their high-flying acrobatic dealings courtesy of STA CGI. While the much welcomed side plot involving Spider-man's subdued alter-ego (the mild mannered newsboy Peter Parker) adds additional intrigue as he entangles with envious friend and rival Robert Franco for the affection of sweetheart Dunst, it is the humorous (borderline silly but still funny) antics provided by J.K. Simmons as Peter Parker's Daily Bugle boss that contributes a huge amount of laughs in this enjoyable adventure that certainly sets the standard for first rate comic book to big screen transitions.

The "M" in M.H.S. could also stand for 'music' as Malverne High School students continue to dazzle with their musical accomplishments.
Last year, the school's marching band took home a state and this past month, four students were selected to be a part of two elite performance groups.
Zachary St. John, who plays trumpet, Ashanti Graham, a Baritone hornist, and Samantha Henry, a vocal Soprano, were recently invited to participate in this year's New York State School Music Association's All-State Music Festival. The festival, which will be held in Rochester in early December, will feature nearly 900 high school student-musicians from throughout New York State.
Graham and Henry, both juniors, and a senior student, Jahlil Burke, were also chosen to perform at the American Choral Director's Association (ACDA) Eastern Division Conference in Providence, Rhode Island in February. Graham and Burke will perform in the Bass section, and Henry with the Sopranos.
Students auditioned for a spot in the conference by submitting a digital recording of themselves, each singing two solo songs and scales, to the Association in June of 2011. The selected students were notified in September.
This is the first time the Malverne school district has had someone selected for this prestigious ensemble. The three were also accepted into the ACDA Eastern Division Latino Repertoire Ensemble Honor Choir, conducted by guest conductor Juan Tony Guzman, a music professor at Luther College.
In a press release, the district congratulated these four students and said it is "confident that they will represent the pride of Malverne well."

Yo, so, okay. I was thinking about this blog earlier and realized that I still only had it on hiatus. Truth is, as much as I still love Lars, I have absolute zero muse for him anymore. I don't think I'm ever going to use this blog again, although a slim chance is still there. I just wanted to post this because so many people still follow him.
That being said, you can find me on this blog from now on [even though it's on a mini-hiatus because it's getting close to finals in my first university term]. Seriously, feel free to bother me there! I still follow a few people from this comm there as well [like Alexandru and Feliks], and I even rped with them there for a bit too! Alternatively, here's my personal.
I won't be deleting this blog on the off chance that I ever do decide to come back; plus, there are too many memories here that I'm not willing to let go of. I still love all of you dearly!

15/11/10_AnnaM_Innovation: born as an ugly duckling that no-one is interested in
I've just watched this fascinating talk from the lovely John Grant at this year's PSFK conference. In it, he discusses a more interesting, and frankly plausible, explanation for how innovation really comes about.
It's simple when you think about it: innovation comes about from looking at what might seem like an ugly, difficult or 'unworthy' issue from a different perspective.
He cites examples as varied as eBay, the Grameen Bank (the micro-credit institution founded in Bangladesh in the 1970s), The Discovery Channel, The Big Issue and IKEA as ways of illustrating the value of asking 'what's neglected?' when looking for innovation. Taking McKinsey's latest list of tech-enabled trends as an amusing starting point, John Grant explores a more interesting and more human approach to innovation which starts at the bottom of the pyramid with something ugly and neglected not, as might be expected, at the pinnacle with the question 'what's next?'
The points he makes particularly resonated with me because of a really interesting project that we've been working on with NESTA, (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the independent body with a mission to make the UK more innovative. Through a two-year pilot programme called Age Unlimited Scotland, NESTA wants to work with people in their 50s and 60s in Scotland who have the spark of a great idea to improve their community. This alternative approach to social entrepreneurship takes the value of the life experience people aged 50+ have gained and marries it with the need to address the implications of an ageing population.
So, if you know anyone over 50 who could put their skills to use in order to help their community then let them know about Age Unlimited Scotland.

Homer Simpsons Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Joke Challenge
haha the simpsons are the best comedy series ever
HAHAHA I remember this one from Sunday.I was wondering when somebody would put it online."Crawl atop me and meet your doom."That's one of my favorite Simpsons moment of all time.
There was an episode all about MMA.
basically sums up jitjitsu
…. and that is why Demian Maia is not the UFC World Champ… but still a stud.
@ Roe Johan
Because men crawl atop of him?
Well funny as it is its still highly inaccurate unless you intend to only play guard. The idea is to control and submit your opponent and thats a lot easier from mount.
The guys from the Simpsons know it.They are not doing an accurate documentary in BJJ technics they are making funny animated show…
Someone needs to work on their top game….
Werdum v. Overeem…?
So true… reminds me of belfort vs jones
That's a perfect comparison. Defend BJJ all you want, but this "Joke" has been accurate in many professional MMA fights. So I guess it's not funny, it's sad. I love good BJJ as much as the next fan, but flopping to their back is a sad truth we see to often.
They make it seem like jiu jitsu ia gay.. But still funny lol!
Hey k1superstar "wannabe", this joke reminds me of what would happen to you in all your fights. YOUR ALWAYS ON THE GROUND! Retarded douche!!
I guess our style of Jiu Jitsu is diffrent then. We practice Judo and Jiu Jitsu since my instructor is a black belt in both. He constantly tells us to Attack Attack Atack. He frowns on pulling guard. The goal is to execute the throw gain superior position and submit them.
@Swordswomansmith, I'd ippon you, then put you in a arm bar and not let go till your twigg-lett arms snap:)
Your style of JiuJitsu is different from who's Artie Ziff??The yellow guy in the video??Gte over it's a joke.

Scorsese goes 3D,no turning back!
Taking anyone from old Hollywood and making 3D believers out of them, but 3D forever believers?! You better believe it with none other than Scorses himself.
Martin Scorsese has become so enamored with 3-D filmmaking that he expects to use the technology in all his future projects.
The Academy Award-winning director of "The Departed" told a crowd of theater owners at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas on Wednesday that he wishes his landmark films "Raging Bull" and "Taxi Driver" had been three-dimensional. Scorsese is so convinced of the power of 3-D, he said he only saw "Hugo," his first 3-D movie released to critical acclaim last year, once in 2-D.
"There is something that 3-D gives to the picture that takes you into another land and you stay there and it's a good place to be," he said.
Scorsese spoke at a filmmaking panel alongside director Ang Lee, who won an Oscar in 2006 for the gay cowboy love story "Brokeback Mountain." Scorsese and Lee are among a growing crop of prominent directors who claim 3-D technology is the future of filmmaking.
Scorsese said the added dimension of digital films allows movie fans to feel a stronger connection to the story and actors on screen. He recalled filming "Hugo" and watching as Sacha Baron Cohen, who portrayed a stern train station inspector, leaned forward on set, and the motion that created on a monitor.
"He sort of came right off the screen and we sort of felt like we were little kids again," Scorsese said.
Scorsese said he never thought he would have the opportunity to make a 3-D film. He said conquering the technology was challenging at first, but he ultimately decided to experiment as much as possible and watched 3-D versions of Alfred Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" and "The House of Wax," the 1953 horror film, for inspiration.
"Hugo," based on Brian Selznick's award-winning "The Invention of Hugo Cabret," an illustrated novel about a Parisian boy and a broken automaton, won several technical Oscars at this year's Academy Awards and earned the most nominations, including a best director nod.
"It's like seeing a moving sculpture of the actor and it's almost like a combination of theater and film combined and it immerses you in the story more," Scorsese said. "I saw audiences care about the people more."
Scorsese and Lee lamented how inaccessible 3-D technology is to low-budget or independent filmmakers.
Lee, whose "Life of Pi" 3-D fantasy adventure is set to be released in December, said learning to tell a story with the multidimensional technology required everyone on set to reimagine the boundaries of film, including the lowliest crew members.
"The technology improves so fast. Like every three months you are behind," Lee said. "The learning curve is really humongous."
Scorsese compared 3-D to the rise of color movies. He said as a film student at New York University in the early 1960s, he was shocked when he heard predictions that all future movies would be filmed in color. He said anyone harboring doubts about the rising influence of 3-D technology should consider how color movies have taken over the industry.
The 3-D craze allows filmmakers to accomplish the original goals of cinema, Scorsese said.
"The minute it started people wanted three things: color, sound and depth," Scorsese said. "You want to recreate life."
Lee also urged theater owners to continue investing in their movie houses. Adapting to digital projectors has been a challenge for some small and independent theater owners.
"Keep them open," Lee said. "Especially with 3-D, this is a new era coming. We have to keep up with it."

Karlovy Vary International Film Festival
The 45th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival which took place from 2 to 10 July 2010 presented audiences with a wide selection of the best new European cinema, including four co-productions supported by Eurimages:
- in official competition: 3 Seasons in Hell by Tomáš Mašín (CZ, DE, SK) and Just between us by Rajko Grlić (HR, SI, RS) and - in the competition "East of the West": Aurora by Cristi Puiu (RO, FR, DE, CH) – selected at the last Cannes Festival - and The Temptation of St. Tony by Veiko Õunpuu (EE, SE, FIN) – in competition at Sundance -.
The award for Best Director went to Rajko Grlić for his bittersweet film Just Between us, starring Miki Manojlović as an aging Lothario. Just Between Us also received the Europa Cinemas Label and will receive promotional support and be screened at cinemas in the Europa Cinemas network.
In the festival's East of the West competition Cristi Puiu's Aurora won the top prize, with Special Mention going to Veiko Õunpuu's The Temptation of St. Tony.
Following the decision of the Eurimages Board of Management meeting in 2009 to carry out in 2014 a study on the functioning and results of the Fund, the Olsberg SPI company established in the United Kingdom has just published its report which you will find here. As an independent study, the contents of this document do not bind or commit in any way the Council of Europe and the Eurimages Fund. The Fund's Board of Management will now study the recommendations proposed by the Olsberg SPI company.
Please note that as from 1 January 2014, Bosnia-Herzegovina is no longer eligible for distribution support. However, as Switzerland is no longer eligible for support from Creative Europe – MEDIA, they are eligible for distribution support from Eurimages.

Americans are living longer. A lot longer. That means we could get to enjoy retirements that last 20 to 30 years or more. Which is great news.
But there are some challenges that come with living longer. We'll need to finance more years of retirement. And most of us won't have the income guarantees provided by traditional employer-sponsored pension plans.
Achieving a secure retirement is now, more than ever a personal responsibility, from taking charge of your investments to taking advantage of workplace retirement plans to protecting your wealth against the risk of illness or injury. And the pivotal question is no longer "Do I have enough savings to retire?" It's "Will I have enough income to last my lifetime?"
Prudential can help you get there with confidence. We offer a range of guaranteed income and protection solutions available through both the workplace and financial professionals. And we're always working to strengthen the ways people turn years of savings into a lifetime of security.
How can you make sure you have income to last a lifetime? Market volatility, low interest rates, and longer than expected retirements present real challenges. Learn how to help meet them with income solutions for individuals and the workplace.
Our easy-to-use calculators can help you get an idea of what you'll need to achieve a secure retirement and how long your retirement savings will last.
The National Retirement Risk Index (NRRI) measures the share of American households "at risk" of being unable to maintain their standard of living in retirement. See how annuities and new innovations in workplace retirement plans can impact the Index.
Achieving retirement security may be more challenging than at any time in the last 50 years. But there are reasons for optimism. Prudential outlines three key steps individuals and institutions can take to improve our retirement security prospects.
A secure retirement means being able to live the lifestyle you want, with the confidence of knowing you have the income you need. You may face challenges on the road to retirement. But the good news is, help is easy to find. By working with a professional financial advisor, and utilizing plans at your workplace, you'll have the opportunity to create a personalized investment strategy. And move closer to achieving the security you'll need for a long retirement.

Protect your family for a defined period of time at a lower cost, with premiums that are guaranteed to stay the same throughout the policy duration you choose.

On this episode, whenever Do Jin and Yi Soo meet, he gave her a neatly wrapped present to her one by one. In the boxes that he gave her presents in, there was a white colored one piece and a large lollipop. In the other box, there was a tiara, which Yi Soo made an embarrassed face and made viewers curious.
The filming took place on July 28th at a café in Seoul Nonhyundong. They had to constantly change their apparel because they had to open up different presents in different scenes, although they were in the same café.
These two actors spent 4 months filming a drama and working well together. As they were in many scenes together, they monitored for each other and gave each other great advice.
Hwa and Dam Pictures stated, 'The presents that Jang Dong Gun gives to Kim Ha Neul are symbols of affections. Please keep watching to see the end of these two people.

I usually am a firm believer that money can't buy love. But there are days, like today, when I seriously doubt that. I am in love with these two bags from Net-a-porter.com, and knowing I can never have them is causing me pain! I usually relish my independence and how I have become self-made. But today, I am extremely frivolous and in love, and I wish I was a trust fund baby.What a beauty. This Fendi Spy bag in plum leather ($2250) is the most perfect specimen of a Fall bag. But I will never own it because even if I did have the money to buy a Spy bag, I'd buy a more sensible color like black.
If I was a rich girl, this would be my fall bag: Chloe's Cyndi tote in the perfect shade of gray leather ($2200). Last year I was able to snag my dream brown Paddington hobo at a Chloe sample sale. I wonder if the fashion gods will smile on me again this year? One can dream.

The commando-style attack by terrorists over a four-day period in Mumbai that killed approximately 170 people could be the template for a similar assault on an American city or shopping center, intelligence and law enforcement officials testified yesterday before a Senate hearing.
Donald Van Duyn, the FBI's chief intelligence officer, told lawmakers that the Mumbai attack offers an effective model for causing bloodshed and chaos that could be copied by others, according to the Associated Press.
"I think we can expect that groups will look to that as a model for themselves," he said. "We sometimes focus on tactics that may be exotic and esoteric ... but for most terrorists, they're looking for what works."
The attacks were the work of ten gunmen allegedly trained and supplid by the Pakistan-based terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Taiba.
In his prepared remarks, New York Police Department Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly described the low-tech, but highly trained, aspects of the attack that differ from previous terrorist attacks:
They carried AK-56 assault rifles, a Chinese manufactured copy of the Russian AK-47. It holds a 30-round magazine with a firing rate of 600 to 650 rounds per minute. In addition,the terrorists each carried a duffel bag loaded with extra ammunition, an average of 300 to 400 rounds contained in as many as 12 magazines, along with half a dozen grenades, and one plastic explosive, or i.e.d. The attackers displayed a sophisticated level of training, coordination, and stamina .... This group had extensive practice. And the number of casualties shows it. Ten terrorists managed to kill or injure over 500 people. They were experienced in working together as a unit. For example, they used hand signals to communicate across loud and crowded spaces. And they were sufficiently disciplined to continue their attack over many hours. This had the effect of increasing the public's fear and keeping the incident in the news cycle for a longer period of time. These are a few of the differences from what we've seen before.
Charles Allen, the top intelligence official at the Department of Homeland Security, told lawmakers that a Mumbai-like attack in its "sheer brutality ... is the kind of thing that can be conducted against soft targets around the world."
Malls, according to Van Duyn, should have proper and up-to-date evacuation plans.
When asked by Congressional Quarterly (subscription only) if attacks like Mumbai could happen in the United States, Kenneth L. Wainstein, the president's homeland security adviser, said emphatically yes.
"That was a relatively low-tech operation," he said. "They walked into a city, an open city, like every city in the United States with . . . satchels with [assault rifles] and hand grenades .... And, they went in and they methodically killed everybody they saw. And, you can envision that happening in any American city. And it's chilling when you think about it."

What Does The Word "Similar" Mean For Tort Reform?
Compared to the word "qualified," it means a lot
INTRO: Connecticut legislators are discussing a bill that would make some changes to the way plaintiffs can file medical malpractice lawsuits in the state. WNPR's Neena Satija reports on the testimony heard today by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Lawyers, patients and doctors gathered in the capitol today to discuss the meaning of a deceptively simple word: the word "similar. If you wanted to sue your doctor today, Connecticut law says you need to get a quote "similar" health care provider to give the opinion that your lawsuit is a valid one. Senate Bill 243 would change the word similar to the word "qualified." It sounds like a small change, but that depends on who you ask. Here's what attorney Eric Stockman told WNPR's "Where We Live" about the bill. Stockman defends doctors in malpractice lawsuits.
STOCKMAN: "In essence, the tort reform that was passed in 2005 will be diluted if not completely eviscerated by those changes.
Kathleen Nastri had a very different take when she appeared before the Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning. Nastri is a malpractice lawyer who represents patients.
NASTRI: "It attempts to remove a procedural trap for plaintiffs who otherwise have a meritorious case who deserve to have at least their case heard."
Those in favor of the bill say that many malpractice lawsuits have been unfairly dismissed because the health care provider plaintiffs found wasn't "similar" enough to the provider they were suing. Senator Eric Coleman gave an example when he questioned Nastri during her testimony.
COLEMAN: "Does it make any sense whatsoever that a OBGYN should not be able to offer an opinion regarding breach or not of the standard of care of a midwife performing the delivery of a child?"
NASTRI: "Absolutely not. It makes no sense."
Attorneys like Nastri and patient advocates argue that by changing the word "similar" to "qualified," cases won't get dismissed before they go to trial on an unfair technicality. But attorneys like Stockman worry that this means plaintiffs could get any health care provider to give them the opinion they're looking for, even a provider who doesn't have any expertise in the type of medical care the case is addressing.
The bill passed the House last year, but then died in the Senate after a lengthy debate. Senator John Kissel said he's determined it will pass this year.
KISSEL: "I really hope we get our arms around this early in the session, before the last few days, so that we can get it through the House and the Senate, because to stop anyone from at least having their day in court is not justice."
On the other hand, other legislators worried it could open the floodgates for more medical malpractice lawsuits in Connecticut that further drive up health care costs.

Being different is part and parcel of being a kid with cerebral palsy. But for Alex Wilson, being different has come to mean being ignored. In a photo that has gone viral on Facebook, Wilson is the boy in a wheelchair placed a full set of bleachers away from his school's choir.
Mom Arla Jan Wilson originally posted the photo to her Facebook page with the disclaimer that she doesn't like to vent. But the sad photo, so simple and yet so startling, has become a lightning rod for parents across the nation who are more than happy to vent on Alex's behalf. What happened at the multi-school choral performance at the Georgia high school was wrong. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon.
Being separated and singled out from their peers is "normal" for these "different" kids. Just last week, a 5-year-old girl in Texas with the same diagnosis as Alex -- cerebral palsy -- made national news because her school was trying to force her into a wheelchair rather than allow her to use the walker that her doctors have said can help keep her mobile and allow her to function more like her peers.
The more these kids try to show they can do things that fit the so-called norm, it seems the more they're pushed back into the box they just punched their way out of. It's a double whammy if there ever was one.
Take Alex. His mom's Facebook "rant" (I put it in quotes because it sounds more like a good mom advocating for her child!) notes that chorus is one of the activities her son can take part in. His disability doesn't hold him back from singing. That's what makes the choral director's insensitivity -- he claims it was an "oversight" that Alex was abandoned and left alone in front of the entire crowd -- that much more heartbreaking.
Kids with special needs don't "just" need support to help them along with their daily tasks. They need to be recognized as people, human beings who deserve to do the kinds of things that their peers can do too, who are just as good and just as important. These kids should not be ignored. And thanks to the photo of Alex that's spreading like wildfire today, thanks to parents who are "ranting" on the Wilson's behalf, there's a clear message to school choirs like the one in Atlanta, Georgia that abandoned him: this is not acceptable.
Will you share Alex's story today to help fight for kids like him?
Image via Facebook
OMG that picture is heartbreaking, how embarassing it must have been for him. This choir instructor must be lacking a heart and brain, to clearly just push this child aside like he has no feelings. This is terrible! if I was his mom, in front of everyone, I would have went up there and said since my son is obviously not appreciated by this choir, he will find somwhere else to sing where he can participate like everyone else!
People suck!
Oversight, my foot. I am surprised that one of the kids in the choir--his friends and peers--did not point out to the teacher that he was over there. His mom must have been so torn: leave him up there and he is left out and embarrassed, go up and say/do something and make a spectacle of herself, further embarrassing her son. A no-win situation for Mom. Poor kiddo.
What happened to this young man was wrong. However, why does it have to inspire a movement? Why can't we call out the one choir director and simply remind ourselves and our children to never let such a thing happen while we're around? This isn't indicative of the way all people treat others with disabilities and it shouldn't be a call to arms.
The teacher should get in big trouble for that, suspended if not fired. How can we expect our kids to show compassion when the teacher doesn't show any? So sad.

- 18-foot gap with a 10-foot torpedo
- 12-foot long box

We're very proud of this park - we were intentional about bringing back the most popular features from previous seasons while improving those that were underutilized in the past. We're excited to unveil it right before this weekend's King/Queen of the Mountain Terrain Park Comp - happening this Saturday! Cost is $30 and includes lift ticket, entry fee and lunch.

There's no doubt that successful businesses start with brilliant ideas. After all, in today's fiercely competitive environment, innovation is the ammunition entrepreneurs need to stand out in the crowd.
Many newcomers to the business world may assume that starting a new business is necessarily linked to an invention. And although this may play an important part in some pioneering companies, most business concepts are in fact all about tweaking existing ideas – or finding new ways to do old things. For example, a company selling a Web-based customer service monitoring tool is simply improving on the long-accepted premise that successful businesses have to keep an eye on their customers' needs.
However, finding the right niche, based on what you do best and the potential market situation, demands both careful planning and research. Even the best products may not necessarily find buyers because markets change and customers are fickle.
There are no clear recipes for starting a new business, but here are a few guidelines that can help you get going in the right direction.
Look for windows of opportunity
Astute observation is your best ally when looking for unique ideas. Start by assessing exactly what you do well. It's a much safer bet to venture into familiar territory where you can use your existing strengths. For example, if you work in the pharmaceutical industry then you could branch out in the health care field.
Here are some helpful hints:
- Do what you're passionate about. Enthusiasm ignites the interest of lenders. Choose ideas that enable you to act now. You need to move swiftly before your idea fizzles.
- Be specific about your business goals. For example, you want to reach this specific market with a specific product.
- Look around you for windows of opportunity such as taking over a family business.
- Start a business doing something that your existing company isn't doing.
- Keep your eye on the franchise market.
- Read business publications and stay informed of growth areas. For example, the rapidly changing health sector, fueled by the explosion of biotechnology, provides endless business opportunities.
Find your market niche
The marketability formula for any product or service involves a myriad of factors, including the design, features, benefits, price, margin, safety, serviceability issues, image, durability, packaging, incentives and sales volume projections.
Apart from patenting inventions, you can assess these possibilities for product development:
- New product lines that are absolutely new to the market and enable you to create your own niche, revolutionize or create markets
- Product revisions/replacements that enable you to build on your existing product line
- Repositioned products, that uncover new applications for your products or new customers for current products
- Imitative products that copy those produced by others, but where there is a market for many competing versions
Use the following as a quick checklist when defining your market niche:
- Look at the needs of your prospective customers. Ask yourself: how will your business meet those needs? Identify unmet needs.
- Examine your customer's desires. A market need could also be a deficiency, for example, a product that lacks post-sales service.
- Remember that people buy things to solve a specific problem. What problems does your product or service solve? Does it make your customer's life simpler?
- Define your customer clearly: What exactly is my product or service?;Who exactly is my customer?; Why does my customer buy?; How does my customer define value?; What makes my product or service superior to that of my competitors?; What is it that my prospective customer does not buy?; Why does my prospective customer buy from my competitor?; What value does he/she perceive in buying from my competitor?; How can I offset that perception and get my competitor's customers to buy from me?
Present your idea with a strong business plan
The next step is to take your creative thinking and put it on paper. A business plan is your tool to sell your idea to lenders, investors and shareholders. Lack of clarity, poor information, and the absence of a strategic orientation are the main deficiencies in most business plans. Of the maximum 10% of business plans that are given serious consideration, two thirds are rejected after analysis. Make sure you allow time to put a plan together with all the appropriate details, such as positioning, market analysis and financials. Projects developed with the help of an expert in the target market get the best reception.
Get yourself a mentor
Getting a business off the ground is not an easy task. Many projects never amount to much because they are not taken seriously, or because they lack adequate follow-up or support. You will increase your chances of success considerably by seeking advice from someone with business experience, often called a mentor. These business leaders provide management advice, suggest sources of financing, and frequently offer their young protégés internship opportunities to hone leadership qualities in the field.
A number of junior chambers of commerce have mentoring programs designed to facilitate contacts between business leaders and project developers. Local economic development centres and some business leaders' associations offer similar sponsorship programs.
Get the right financing
BDC offers start-up financing to entrepreneurs. You may also be able to postpone the principal payments for several months.
This solution specifically targets businesses in the manufacturing, distribution, services and tourism sectors.
