Impressive viewing
Those amazing moments you've captured. Your favorite sitcoms. Or that music video you love watching again and again. This Bluetooth smartphone comes with a bright 4" high quality display that's perfectly sized for immersive entertainment – all without being bulky.
Quality craftsmanship
From the aluminium power button to the premium glass screen, Xperia M dual combines an array of carefully selected design details, held together by an innovative skeleton frame. Created with Sony OmniBalance design, this slim smartphone is especially crafted with symmetry in mind.
One-touch functions from Sony
Sharing with friends and connecting your world has never been easier. Based on NFC (near field communication), our one-touch functions connect one device to another in a single tap. No wires, cables, or fiddling with settings necessary.
One-touch mirroring
See photos from your phone on your TV. Simply touch your Bluetooth smartphone to the remote from your BRAVIA® TV to activate screen mirroring.
One-touch backup
Whether you take pictures on your Xperia smartphone, tablet or camera, now you can store them in the same place. The Sony Personal Content Station™ is a wireless hub for photos and videos.
One-touch listening
Play the music on your smartphone through a Bluetooth speaker or wireless headphones. Simply tap your smartphone on the speaker's NFC antenna to stream music.
One-touch sharing
Share photos, music and more between two phones, or between your phone and an NFC-enabled laptop with a single touch onto the other device.
From your smartphone to the big screen
Want to share your memories on the big screen? Or go from headphones to speakers? "Throw" content from your Bluetooth smartphone to your Wi-Fi-enabled TV through screen mirroring or DLNA, or send your tunes to a speaker via Bluetooth. Using "Throw", a smart application integrated into your Xperia apps, your smartphone finds the best way to wirelessly connect to other devices.
Smart Connect
Make your life simpler by setting up how your smartphone behaves when it connects to other devices. Open your music player when you connect your headphones, organise your Sony Android SmartWatch, or activate your alarm clock when your phone touches the charging dock. Smart Connect is the software that lets you manage all your smart accessories.
Every image beautifully captured in HD
Built with the same modules as leading Sony cameras, Xperia M dual comes with a 5 megapixel camera that lets you record in HD. It's also designed with Auto Focus, a dedicated camera key that can shoot from a locked screen, plus a fast-capture function that goes from sleep to snap under one second – meaning you'll never miss a capture-worthy moment again.
Natural colours even when backlit — HDR photos
HDR for photos captures natural colours in any light. HDR (High Dynamic Range) is an imaging technology used to capture clear photos against strong backlight. With HDR, this Bluetooth smartphone captures the same image at different exposure levels and layers them to create one optimised photo.
Significantly improve battery life with Battery STAMINA Mode
Smartphones use a lot of power, even when you're not actively using them. All those apps that you have on your Android smartphone may still be running in the background, draining your battery. Battery STAMINA Mode saves you wasted battery drain. It recognises when you're not using your display and automatically turns off the functions you don't need, while keeping the notifications you want. As soon as you press the power button to wake up your screen, everything is up and running again.
Get only the important notices
With Battery STAMINA Mode, Wi-Fi and data traffic are disabled during standby, but you still receive incoming calls, texts, and alarms. And since everyone has different needs, you can easily customise which apps you want to receive push notifications from even in standby mode. Facebook notifications on or off? It's up to you.
Lightning speed performance – Dual-core processor
We've matched the latest Sony software with the powerful Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ S4 Plus processor. This dual core processor gives your Bluetooth smartphone top performance and speed without draining your battery – run multiple apps simultaneously, surf the web with no loading time, and stream videos without a break. The Snapdragon™ S4 Plus is asynchronous, which means each core is powered up and down independently. So you get the precise amount of power when you need it, without wasting power when you don't.

1. What's for dinner?

2. When invited to BBQ's in the summer, what signature dish do you usually bring?

3. Where did your parents meet?

Spaghetti, I just finished rolling meatballs.
It depends on the bbq, I've brought anything from a nice bottle of wine to fruit or a pasta salad to brownies.
OMgosh, Good question. Dad and mom were first generation American and both sets of parents came from Italy through Ellis Island, I think they met b/c their parents/families knew eachother (but ftr, their relationship was not an arranged one).
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 4:25pm
1. What's for dinner? -- honey braised brats and spicy slaw
2. When invited to BBQ's in the summer, what signature dish do you usually bring? -- I have several that I rotate. Pasta salad, mushroom salad, black bean salad, homemade mango or regular salsa, bruschetta ....
3. Where did your parents meet? -- In college. My mother's brother introduced them.
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 4:30pm
1. No idea. I haven't made any decisions one way or the other. could just be a long, hot soak in the tub
That sounds great. I overdid it a bit on the workouts this weekend, so I"m pretty achy and tired.
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 4:53pm
My youngest brother has pneumonia so I'm making a large pot of homemade chicken soup made with a hearty stock. I plan to deliver half to him.
Wine. And I help them drink it too. My family expects homemade soft pretzels regardless of what time of the year it is. I literally cannot make enough of them. I made 5X batch for Christmas and there wasn't a single one left at the end of the night.
My parents grew up in the same neighborhood. My mom was 14, dad was 16, when they started dating.
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 5:03pm
1. What's for dinner? We went out. My uncle and cousin were in town and took us out.
2. When invited to BBQ's in the summer, what signature dish do you usually bring? We do not go to BBQs and I do not have a "signature dish."
3. Where did your parents meet? At a dinner party.
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 5:05pm
1. What's for dinner?
I just had cereal. DD is at a friend's house. DH & DS have practice. Miraculously I'm sure to SPRING, DH has been the head coach of DS's team for the last few years. And he is a fabulous coach. Truly. The kids and parents adore him.
2. When invited to BBQ's in the summer, what signature dish do you usually bring?
I always bring a safe dessert for itty bitty and usually some sort of side--I don't have a signature dish b/c I like to try different things.
3. Where did your parents meet?
Elementary school. But my grandmother set them later when Daddy was in the service and Mom was in HS. And they eloped and kept it a secret--it is quite the romantic story from those kids!
|Sun, 04-14-2013 - 5:12pm
Sounds like you need that long soak in the tub more than me lol. I did sleep until 9:30 this morning though but was up with hubby until 2am so needed the sleep ;)
Seriously. I think carpet installers must be paid by the staple :)

That happens. I buy Nature's Miracle in the gallon jug :)
With 6 cats in the house (holy crap, I have TOO many cats!! LOL), it's just a LOT easier to keep up with the cat hair when there are hard floors. I vacuum daily, but even with that, there's always SOME hair on the carpets. With hard floors, you know you've got it all. Well, for 5 minutes anyway :)
As God is my witness, I will NEVER have more than 1 or 2 cats once these guys cross the bridge :)

5 skills you must master before moving up to management
What to learn so you can earn that promotion.
Moving into your first management role is a big step and not just because it comes with a better title and more money. The move into management typically comes with bigger responsibilities, more accountability and higher expectations. But before you get there, you need to demonstrate you have what it takes to rise to the challenge.
Here are five skills you need to master before you're given the opportunity to move up to management.
Project management
Project management is a vital skill for first-time managers. It all depends on your ability to navigate a project, to be able to see a destination and be proactive in reaching it, says career counselor Roy Cohen.
"First and foremost, having clarity as to what you are being asked to achieve and over what time frame," he says. "Without context and expectations, you will have no clue as to deliverables, the time to come up to speed, and the resources you will need to deploy to achieve success productively and efficiently."
Transitioning relationships
When you move into a management role, your relationships with the people around you are going to change. But that doesn't have to be a bad thing."Business is personal and relationships do matter... when you transition to management, especially if you are promoted to lead the team you were a member of, the business relationships you have will change," explains Morag Barrett, CEO of the HR consulting and leadership development company SkyeTeam. He suggests sitting down with each person on your team and having a conversation about new rules of engagement.
Delegating dutiesDelegation involves handing tasks over to competent members of your team and giving them appropriate levels of guidance to succeed — and it shouldn't be confused with micromanaging. "Few things say, 'I don't think you are capable' as strongly as micromanaging a colleague's work. When partnering with others, be sure to clarify roles and trust that others will complete their tasks as well as you will complete yours," says City University of Seattle's Leadership program coordinator, Arron Grow.
"If there are questions, ask them, but don't constantly 'check in' or 'watch over' a colleague as they take care of their part of the work." Be clear about expectations, be open to questions and concerns, and let them do their part.
Coaching communication skills
Strong communications skills are a staple in management, but your team members should also have them. "Companies often employ people that couple outstanding technical skills with interpersonal challenges. It is often the role of the manager to work on these deficiencies for the good of the department and the organization," says Howard Seidel, a partner at career consulting firm Essex Partners.
Motivating a team
A good manager needs to be prepared to boost employees' energy when their drive wanes. "The ability to inspire others is an actual skill many fail at, yet the very one that overrides all functional expertise when managing others," says Christine DiDonato, founder of Career Revolution, Inc.
"This means you will have to know how to get others excited about an idea or project — enough so they want to take action on their own." Being able to access and activate others' strength means you're ready to manage a team.

After a 40-year absence from the sports-car market, Jaguar is jumping back in with the 2014 F-Type. And boy what a legacy the British automaker has to live up to.
Jaguar's last sports car, the E-Type, was revolutionary when it launched in 1961. It was well ahead of its time in terms of design and engineering.
The 2014 Jaguar F-Type isn't such a quantum leap, but it is a solid contender among tough competitors that include the Audi R8, Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 911.
The F-Type also is a unique proposition in this heady group. It is more of a brutish muscle car than a delicate roadster. Yet it is more refined than the Corvette, which on paper looks quite similar, as both cars share the same front-engine, rear-drive layout and offer a powerful V8 engine.
We talked to Richard Ward, F-Type project manager, for insight into the engineering that went into this new sports car. Ward said his team worked especially hard at shaving weight and getting the balance just right, even taking pains as to exactly where to place the windshield washer fluid to achieve this. But if there is one detail he is particularly proud of, it would have to be the door handles, which retract to be flush with the car door.
What follows is an edited transcript of the interview, conducted during the vehicle's press launch at The Ridge Motorsports Park in Shelton, Wash. To see pictures of the 2014 Jaguar F-Type, click here.
Jaguar has long had the XK, arguably a sports car by some standards, in the lineup. Why add the F-Type now?
The segment really has broadened out. It is quite a range, if you imagine on the far left the GTs [grand tourers] and on the far right the sports cars. We wanted to position this as way over to the right amongst the sports cars.
It's really all about the driver interacting with the car and the way the driver feels at the center of the car. It's almost like a connection and you're part of the car. So you think, and it does what you think, almost like you're not having to think too hard about it—it's just part of you.
Did you start from scratch in building it?
Pretty much.
Obviously, there's commonality of components—not only within our stable, but with competitors. All manufacturers tend to use the same sort of components. But I think it's the way that you put them together. It's the way you deploy them.
We optimized the weight, reducing weight wherever possible and then moving weight around the car to get the best balance. And clearly if you have a well-balanced car, you then have to rely less on the electronic interventions that you put into a car.
So there's an amount of commonality. But it's the way we put it together—the unique bits that we added to it and the way that they're all perfectly harmonized.
When you were imagining how this car should drive, were you influenced by the competition at all?
Obviously in this segment, Porsche tends to dominate in Europe. So you can't drop a new entrant into the full-size sports car segment without considering Porsche. But we didn't want to just say, 'Well, they've got the right answer.' We didn't just want to copy that, because then we would've created a Porsche with a Jaguar badge.
So we tried to create what we felt was right for us in terms of our DNA.
What key components of Jaguar's DNA does the F-Type embody?
Fast, accurate steering. The connected feel across all of the components. Instantaneous reaction.
I talked about the car moving as you think almost. So you're not having to think about, 'Is this pedal heavier than that pedal?' Everything just feels right and falls to hand and works as you'd expect it to.
Progressive—you know, you press something harder, it should go faster, or it should slow faster. It all has to be proportionate.
You mentioned that many automakers work with the same suppliers and use the same components. Jaguar uses the same ZF eight-speed transmission as Maserati and Mercedes-Benz. But in Jaguars, the transmission shifts faster. How is that possible?
We developed what we call QuickShift. It's the integration between the engine and the transmission.
We did a lot of work to get QuickShift to do what we wanted, and we own that. By combining those electronics, you can start to take torque off as soon as you start to move the shifter, things like that.
We just really focused on that without losing refinement completely; we don't want to snap people's necks as they change gears. So it's really about our expertise in integrating those parts together.
Of all the things you did to keep the weight down, which ones helped the most?
Everything, literally everything.
We challenged the trim engineers to lose even an ounce here and there. We have a brand new aluminum subframe, new [suspension] knuckles, again to save mass.
We took the washer bottle from under the bonnet and moved it to the rear of the car because we wanted mass at the back of the car in this instance. So we tucked it inside the rear bumper as far back as we could to get the right balance.
It's not a single effort. Everybody was involved.
Is there anything about the Jaguar F-Type that you are especially proud of?
I think it fulfilled our vision of where we wanted to get to. I think the difference between delivering a good car and a great car is that team effort.
People buy sports cars that don't look great. But if you've got a great sports car that looks great as well, for me that ticks all of the boxes.
I'm proud of some of the things that the engineers did to deliver, like just seeing that car drive away with the door handles popped closed. The deployable door handles closed looks fantastic.

Via: FCC Documentation | News Archive | Tags: Broadband, Internet, FCC, national broadband, Genachowski, universal broadband
I personally have been asking why they don't do this for a while. Ever since the internet connectivity nationwide in the US cam into political question. I imagine unless it is at least done in 4G it won't be as fast as a DSL connection, but it will still be there nationwide. It just seems to me to be the best option for the money and universal US connections.
I thought Intel was working to bring WiMax out and this was to solve this problem for people in urban areas as WiMax has a much broader range.
Opposition from broadband companies will stifle this effort and make it nil.
Uncle Sugar just doesn't have the power to go against 'Big Business' anymore. We all know that they own too many politicians in this day and age. Government is a hobbled joke.
Till the gov does something to make it an incentive to put broadband access available in rural areas, that 35% is going to stay that way. Where i live Verizon owns the phone lines, meaning no one but them can give local phone service. Since there is no cable out here period, DSL is the only way to get broadband speed from the phone company. So instead of spending money to get dsl out here, they can do nothing, charge 25 bucks for a basic phone line, and 15 bucks for dialup. Since most people that do lots of internet usage and still want to receive phone calls since cell phone service is hit or miss by miles out here, they get a second line. So at the very least, Verizon can rake in $50 for 60+ year old phone lines that have long since been paid for, rather than pony up the cost to bring dsl out and then wait to get a return on their investment.
The gov has had grants in place that any company can use to get money to fund rural broadband initiatives, but since Verizon owns the phone lines, a company doing this would have to have an agreement to use Verizon's lines to carry a broadband signal. Rest assured Verizon doesnt want competition and will make the price so high that service will not be any cheaper than satellite internet which basically screws the consumers.
Businesses first and foremost will do whatever it takes to make a profit. What they do after that is their choice since it is their money. If they dont wish to expand into a rural area for broadband, they dont have to since it will effect their bottom line quite a bit. Till a new tech comes out that kicks the crap out of dsl and cable, is cheaper, and can reach anyone, or some gov mandates that something gets done, nothing will change.
it will never happen, and if it does i bet it will be much like the radio as above. sure its free, but you have to sit through 15min of commercials ever hr or so. So to will the the free internet. you can use it for 45 min then it will give you 15 min of add to sift through or watch... nothing is free.
Do you guys think that the FCC is pushing this so they can just have control over the internet? It's really the only reason that I could think of them doing this.
Wait. Seriously, wait a moment. Over the past 150 years both the individual states and the federal government have supported, regulated, and sometimes funded the construction of a number of mass transit / mass communication platforms including:
Telegraph wires.
Power lines.
Phone lines
Radio coverage
TV coverage
And now, possibly, the Internet. (I'm unsure to what degree the federal and state governments have supported cellular buildouts).
Does the government "control" the phone lines, the TV stations, or the highway system?
Maybe I'm using the word "control" too loosely. I made the connection of how the FCC control what goes on the TV. I figured, that if they provide this wireless internet access to those who currently don't have it, that the FCC will also want to regulate what websites they can visit and the content that they can view.
It probably doesn't matter though, especially if we consider what Drago said in his post.

This video, created by YouTube user "Politizane," aptly demonstrates not only the astonishing wealth inequality in the United States, but the great yawning divide between what Americans believe is the distribution of wealth in this country and what actually exists. Note: the idealized version of the wealth curve is the same across partisan lines. (No socialism here!)
According to Politizane, who created the visualization using data from Mother Jones, Think Progress, CNN, and economist Dan Ariely, the poorest Americans, in our idealized version, would be poor, but wouldn't suffer unduly. In reality, the poor don't even register on the wealth scale. The middle class is barely distinguishable from the poor, and even the rich are not very well off. The top 1 percent of America, however, has 40 percent of America's wealth. The bottom 80 percent of American only has 7 percent of the country's wealth to share between them.
What isn't shown in Politizane's remarkable video is how disproportionately women in America suffer from poverty, particularly women of color. According to the National Women's Law Center analysis of U.S. Census poverty data released in 2012, the poverty rate for women in the U.S. has stabilized post-recession, but at 14.6 percent, remains the highest rate in nearly two decades. The poverty rate for men was also stable, standing at 10.9 percent. (You can read the full report here.)
The poverty rate for black women in 2011 was 25.9 percent, nearly double that of women generally. The poverty rate for Hispanic women dropped to 23.9 percent from 25 percent the year prior — a small victory given the high number of Hispanic women in poverty, but a victory nonetheless.
The poverty rate for elderly women held steady at 10.7 percent; but the poverty rate of elderly women living alone grew to 18.4 percent from 17 percent the year prior.
Overall, 46.2 million Americans were living in poverty in 2011, the largest number of people considered poor since the census began recording poverty statistics more than half a century ago. If we're talking history, it's also significant to note: since the beginning of measuring poverty statistics, women have always had higher levels of poverty than men.
Today, 17.7 million poor people in this country are women. Some of those women, who are receiving federal aid through programs such as the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) will suffer further with cuts due to the sequester. The question remains what real actions we can take to support them instead. Because as Politizane plainly exposed, what we hope to be true about people in poverty, and what we believe to be true about poverty, is far from what is true about people suffering in poverty.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Sleepy Hollow Elementary in Orinda is a great school, The dads club (Ichabod's Gang) Makes a huge difference at the school, The moms all do their part and the dads show their support. The staff is great and if there is an issue all parents seemed to join together to make sure the right thing happened for both students and teacher alike. Education was very good for the advancement to Orinda Intermediate. The othe school in Orinda that I would recommend is Del Rey, I attended Del Rey myself but I have many friends here in town with children at every school and the dads club at Del Rey makes a huge difference just like Sleepy Hollow and the teachers are great
The reviewer below who advised that SH isn't a good school for kids with discipline or personality issues has it wrong. Public schools are required to serve ALL children in the district, including those with special needs. Parents who do not want their children in a diverse learning environment are welcome to send their kids to private school if they don't like the population served by their public. My SN child has been very well served by SH, it's too bad that there are parents in district like the poster below.
although sleepy hollow school isn't perfect, it is probably the best public school that i can imagine. the new principal dr. G has been a huge improvement over prior, and some weak teachers have moved to other schools. the parents are involved and many give of their time as well as money. most of the teachers are terrific and truly care for the students and their learning(as evidenced by 984 test score), and my only wish would be if it were a newer campus(which would need more state funding). p.s. as some reviewers have pointed out, this isn't a good school for kids who have discipline or personality issues that require individual attention - perhaps those students are best at private schools.
I'm sorry to agree with previous posters that there is a certain amount of "resting on their laurels" that is apparent at Sleepy Hollow and the teachers are universally nice but not a lot of innovation or motivation to change. We found there to be very little differentiation, or any tolerance for differentiating students of different abilities, which compounds the problem. We pulled our daughter from this school, despite how wonderful the parent community and ASC program are.
We transfered our children from Wagner Ranch School, The best thing that has happened! The principal is the best we could hope for, 100% there for the children rather than the teachers ( I am sure they have his support aswell but its about the children), He is very well informed and has an open door policy. He is very much community oriented and is often seen walking the neighborhood saying hi to residents during his breaks. The teachers are top notch and the parents of the school are 100% involved, The dads club "Ichabod's Gang" is very involved with the school (against the approval of the superintendent) and promotes a few "fun" raisers including welcome new parents day, haunted house and a mothersday fest. They often find projects to help out with. The moms are very supportive with class room projects. It is a very family orientated school. Our children LOVE Sleepy Hollow and are so happy they go there. I can't say enough things about what a great school Sleepy Hollow is.
We are entering our 7th year with children attending Sleepy Hollow and could not be more pleased with the school. The quality of education is excellent. The teachers are amazing, as is the level of parental involvement. Our children are challenged daily in a caring and supportive environment. Sleepy Hollow consistently receives outstanding test scores.
Excellent teachers and administration; challenging course work. Great opportunities for the students. Amazing parent involvement.
Unfortunately, I agree with the negative comment of Dec 5, 2008. I am afraid that the smaller school is more impacted by an entrenched bureaucracy of tenured teachers who have lost their enthusiasm, and have become lazy. The high scores of the school result from its demographic profile, not teacher effort. I do not see an emphasis on academics, and too much emphasis on the easy way of arts and crafts. In a small school a parent is afraid to say anything negative because you can be punished by an entrenched, tenured, established faculty. I would like to see a more active parent involvement in stimulating more academic work in the classroom, rather than the present emphasis on social activities and fun and games. Is the parental money contribution for class aides merely a way for the teacher to put in less effort, and let the aid do the work? I see many tired teachers, and I am very sorry to say this.
Sleepy Hollow is a sweet small school where everyone knows each other and the teachers are outstanding. Are you expected to donate to the school to support it? Yes, but it is well worth the cost. While other schools have had to give up small class sizes and instructional aides, SH has managed to hang onto them, and more. They have upgraded technology, art, music and PE. Sure, in other states you don't need to pay for those things, but in California they are going the way of the dodo-bird. SH is older and a little tired looking, but the education is anything but...this is a great school with an outstanding parent community to support it.
Facilities mediocre, staff unhelpful, defensive and overly full of how great Orinda schools are supposed to be. My daughter's teacher is unimaginative and does not read kids well. This teacher made an enthusiastic learner hate school in no time. They push an alarming amount of the instruction load onto parents, which is disappointing for second grade. My audit shows that more than one-half of school time is non-instructional. You pay through the nose for 'extra' programs that aren't extra in other states, such as music and languages. The quality of instruction there is poor, too. Everyone here's gleefully unaware of what a ripoff it is, paying thousands of dollars in 'donations' to get this level of mediocrity.
Similar to all other schools in Orinda, Sleepy Hallow benefits from community involvement through fundraising and sponsored activities. We welcome a new principal at SH for 2006 who will join an inspired team of top-notch teachers.
This is a great school with unparalled parent involvement.

This is a statement sent out by Kolech and Mavoi Satum in Israel about a mutual respect campaign.
Women's organizations to party leaders: "Do not support extortion during divorce proceedings"
30 organizations have sent a letter to political party leaders demanding legislation to prevent get refusal and extortion during divorce proceedings.
Yesterday thirty women's organizations led by "Mavoi Satum" and Kolech " asked all political party leaders to support a solution to get refusal during divorce proceedings in Israel. In a letter to party leaders the organizations suggested a way to avoid the phenomenon of extortion and get refusal by encouraging couples to sign a prenuptial agreement known as the "mutual respect agreement".
The organizations appealed to party leaders to include a commitment to prevent getrefusal in their platforms. Party heads were urged to promote legislation insisting that on registering a marriage couples should sign an agreement of mutual respect.
Attorney Batya Kahana - Dror, the executive director of Mavoi Satum, argues that "the state can not abandon its citizens to the goodwill of the Chief Rabbinate. It is up to party leaders to resolve this challenging social problem. They have to stop the getfrom being used as a blackmailing tool before the couple weds and make every couple sign the mutual respect agreement when registering their marriage".
According to statistics, one in three marriages in Israel ends in divorce and in many cases the divorce process is long and protracted. Even though the couples do not share a home, if they have not reached an agreement they remain officially married. In many of these cases, the task of running the home and raising the children falls on the woman and according to religious and hence Israeli law she cannot remarry. In order for the husband to give his wife a get of his own "free will" the rabbis tend to pressurize a woman to give up on many of her rights.
The letter emphasizes that the mutual respect prenuptial agreement specifies civil procedures to avoid extortion and get refusal. The agreement is in accord with both Israeli civil law and religious law (halacha).
The letter affirms" that the best way to implement the signing of agreements by the public at large is to create a legal norm which makes couples sign the prenuptial when registering the marriage".
Dr. Hanna Kehat, the executive director of Kolech- The Forum of Orthodox Women,noted that the agreement was developed by rabbis and female legal academics. It has the support of senior rabbinical court rabbis and is halachicallyvalid. "I call on all political leaders to take this important humane step and put an end to this injustice in the next Knesset".

The following report discusses the strategies, planning, development process and the innovativeness of iTunes and more, through the years to establish itself as one of the most powerful digital software that revolutionized the music and Smartphone industries. It all began in the year 2000 when Steve Jobs, Apple's iCEO purchased SoundJam MP, powerful digital encoding software and immediately set to work on the app. As a result, In Jan. 9 2001, iTunes 1 debuted as a music player. Csikszentmihalyi and Rochberg-Halton (1981 – 1998) found that "Youth tends to value objects that are associated with action and experience, eg: music, sports equipment, pets and vehicles." Apple seemed to have exploited this finding when it designed iTunes and soon after, the iPod.
On 28 April, 2003 as part of iTunes 4, Apple launched iTunes online music store, which permits the user to purchase or even rent digital content. Apart from music, iTunes also offers MOVIES, PODCASTS found in genre inside iTunes, podcasts are different form of Internet radio, and users can download files anytime and listen to these for free.

Willie Sion Franklin (W. S. F.) Tatum was born September 17, 1858 to Robert William Tatum and Martha Nancy Green Tatum in McNairy County, Tennessee. He had one brother, Barca L. Tatum and one sister, Mattie Tatum (Motley). His early childhood was spent on a farm near Bethel Springs, Tennessee, with his mother passing away when he was 5 and the family moving closer to Bethel Springs when he was 8. At age 16, he became employed at his father's grocery store in Bethel Springs, where he worked until age 21 without wages. His education consisted of two five month terms and one three month term in a subscription school.
On June 8, 1881, Tatum married Rebecca Anne O'Neal, also of McNairy County Tenn. The couple had three sons, West O'Neal (W.O.) Tatum and twins, Will Sion (W.S.) and Frank Murry (F.M.) Tatum.
In September 1881, Tatum bought his father's business largely on credit. After paying off the debt, Tatum formed a partnership with his brother-in-law, F. O'Neal, and began buying and selling lumber. After a visit in 1892 to lands purchased in Forrest County, Mississippi in 1891 and seeing the richness of the timber there, the two established a sawmill in Hattiesburg, Mississippi in 1893 named the Tatum Lumber Company. Mr. O'Neal left the partnership and sold his interest to Tatum after a series of difficulties soon after. In 1898, the Tatum family moved into their home on Main and McLeod Streets in Hattiesburg. Tatum closed the mill in 1903, but continued to buy and sell timber and timber land in the area. During this time in 1904, the family traveled to the Fourth World Sunday School Convention in Palestine for three months.
In 1906, Tatum reopened the mill. The mill closed again in 1914 after it was found all the timber within reach of oxen that transported the timber had been cleared. Tatum began construction of a new mill in the Bonhomie area of Forrest County which began operating in 1916 and continued until 1937. The new sawmill was one mile south of the old site and contained ponds, a large double band sawmill, kilns, yard, and railroad facilities connected to the New Orleans and New England Railroad, Gulf, Mobile, and Northern Railroad, and Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. Timber from the approx. 50,000 acres of land in Forrest and Lamar Counties and approx. 13,000 acres in Greene County at that time was transported by rail from the land to the mill pond.
In 1911, Tatum purchased the land where present day William Carey University stands. Tatum held the land, wishing the site to be the Mississippi Normal College (now University of Southern Mississippi). When the decision was made to place the Mississippi Normal College at the Hardy Street location, Tatum donated the land to the Mississippi Baptist Convention, who in agreed to maintain a four year college on the premises.
In 1924, the Tatum family purchased 30 miles of railroad from the Gulf, Mobile and Northern Railroad between Hattiesburg and Beaumont to bring timber from Greene County. This became the Bonhomie and Hattiesburg Southern Railroad.
In 1920, W. S. F. Tatum turned over his business affairs and mill operation to his three sons and became active in local politics. To fill the unexpired term of T. E. Batson, Tatum was elected mayor of Hattiesburg on August 22, 1922. In 1924, he lost reelection to B. D. Moore, but won again in 1928. His first term priority was road paving. His second term accomplishments included extensive additions to the municipal water and sewer system, creation of a public library, a municipal airport, the Saenger Theater, and creation of the movement to bring natural gas to Hattiesburg.
The first natural gas company was the Public Service Corporation of Mississippi. When the company went bankrupt, the Tatum family purchased it and renamed it the "Willmut Gas and Oil Company" in 1933.
W. S. F. Tatum was reelected again in 1932, but lost in 1936 to Travis H. Boykin.
The Tatum Lumber Company mill was built from money borrowed from Hibernia Bank in New Orleans, Louisiana. When the bank experienced financial difficulty in 1933, W. S. F. Tatum was appointed to a directorship of the bank by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation on May 24, 1933. Tatum Lumber Company became one of the principal stockholders of the Hibernia Bank.
After their father's retirement, the three sons operated the mill until it closed in 1938. Reportedly, West Tatum handled the office work, Frank the timber docks, and Will the yards and planning mill.
Other projects Tatum and his sons were instrumental in creating for Hattiesburg include the Citizens Bank of Hattiesburg, additions to the Main Street Methodist Church, the Methodist Hospital and the Forrest Hotel in downtown Hattiesburg. When the United States Post Office in Hattiesburg was dedicated on July 25, 1934, Mayor Tatum delivered a speech.
In the 1940s, Will Tatum began an interest in oil drilling, including a very profitable venture in Centralia, Illinois.
In 1937, W. S. F. Tatum retired from politics at the age of 79. He died October 7, 1949 at the age of 91 of internal bleeding (hemorrhage).
In 1953, the Bonhomie and Hattiesburg Southern Railroad was sold to Fernwood, Columbia and Gulf Railroad, which was absorbed by the Illinois Central Railroad in 1973.
In 1964, the Tatum family land in Lamar County known as the Tatum Salt Dome was used by the United States Atomic Energy Commission for a series of tests known as "Project Dribble." The purpose of the tests was to test the effectiveness of detecting underground nuclear detonations with seismographic evidence. The first detonation, Project Salmon, would blast a cavity in the natural salt formations deep underground. The detonation occurred at 10:00am, October 22, 1964 and was reportedly felt for miles. Two years later on December 3, 1966, the commission detonated a second device, codenamed Project Sterling, in the cavity of the first device with the intention to prove that the effect of an explosion in a cavity would be less than in solid rock, as Project Salmon was. The effect was proven.
The Tatum family continues to reside in the area of Hattiesburg as active members of the community as of this writing.
The collection contains the financial and personal papers of the Tatum family of Hattiesburg, Mississippi and their business holdings, including photographs, newspapers, and artifacts. The materials date from 1881 to 1991 and document the life and culture of southern Mississippi, primarily the Hattiesburg, Forrest County and surrounding areas.
The Tatum Family Business Records Collection consists mainly of letter and legal sized personal and financial documents. The documents were organized by company or holding (Tatum Lumber Company, Bonhomie and Hattiesburg Southern Railroad Company, etc.) and grouped in alphanumeric order then date. Many oversized documents (maps, blueprints, etc.) were left rolled due to space and size issues.
The 184 photographs in the collection are the following sizes: 1.5x2.5, 2x2.5, 2.5x3.5, 2x4, 2.5x4, 2.75x4.5, 3x3, 3x5, 3.5x3.5, 3.5x5, 3.5x5.75, 3.5x6, 4x6, 4.5x3, 8x10, 8x11, 9.5x4, 9x7.25, 9.5x8, and 19.5x14.5.
The materials were organized into alphanumeric order, grouping items by company or holding when possible (Bonhomie and Hattiesburg Southern Railroad Company, Tatum Lumber Company, etc.) or by member of the Tatum family (F. M. Tatum, W. S. F. Tatum, etc.).
Financial documents such as bank statements and check stubs were arranged according to type in chronological order.
Photographs were arranged in order of appearance in the collection and by subject where possible.
Oversize materials include blueprints, maps, artifacts and other items found in the collection. Blueprints and maps were cross-referenced with their original locations when possible and placed into size appropriate boxes and folder or in a map case. Artifacts were boxed and added to the collection
Related collections at the University of Southern Mississippi include:
Due to the effect W. S. F. Tatum, the family, and the Tatum Lumber Company had on the history of Hattiesburg and southern Mississippi economy, most if not all historical records of the area from the early to mid 20th century will contain some impression.

The Cronut™ has been with us for a year now. In that time, the mutant pastry has sapped millions of hours from people's lives: from the people who line up each day as the dawn breaks to taste one, lured by tales of its creamy center and precise flakiness; from the hundreds of cooks laboring at other, lesser bakeries to create passable knockoffs to foist upon their own unsuspecting customers; from the billions of people reading, watching and hearing about them, despite their best intentions, thanks to utterly endless media coverage; and from the writers and journalists tasked by their editors with fomenting Cronut™ mania week after week, day in and day out. For creating this madness, Dominique Ansel has been rewarded with the 2014 James Beard Award for Outstanding Pastry Chef.
The James Beard Awards are like the Academy Awards of food, so Ansel's win seems like a definitive repudiation of anybody who barked that Cronuts™ were overhyped balls of dough, thickly layered with media froth. Here's the thing: The Restaurant and Chef Awards are chosen by food writers—the very people behind the Cronuts™ madness of the last twelve months. Ansel's win, in other words, is not so much critical validation as it is the food media justifying its own machinations, which have resulted in the single most overblown microcosmic food craze of the last decade.
Guess you could call it a cronspiracy?

Is Abu Dhabi on the right track or missing a little action?
While a cautious move is commendable, businessman Habtoor urges Abu Dhabi not to lose its economic momentum. Precious de Leon thinks maybe all the capital needs is a little push.
November 27, 2011 3:41 by Precious de Leon
"To review things is good — but it shouldn't take so long." These are the words of Khalaf Al Habtoor, chairman of Habtoor Group, in a Gulf News article where he urges Abu Dhabi to push ahead with its infrastructure development so as not to lose economic momentum.
Habtoor Group has been pretty much in the consumer psyche of any UAE resident because it's pretty much into everything from retail to hotels, construction and real estate and even car sales and leasing. The company is one of the UAE's pioneering conglomerates (having launched in 1970) as well as one of its biggest.
The chairman is alluding to the considerable slowdown the capital has taken with some of its property developments and other projects under its 2030 Vision strategy. One of the most recent moves is the postponement of construction for the museums on Saadiyat Island.
It's undeniably a good thing to be considerate and cautious about large scale moves. And in fact, as Al Habtoor said, the review has been "long overdue", and mostly done after news of job cuts in government-connected companies like Abu Dhabi's Masdar and Shuaa Capital in Dubai—and of course there are also the unreported cases in the private sector across the country that are going through a second or third round of redundancies.
It's good to be measured in decision-making. So is Abu Dhabi taking too long a time? Al Habtoor says "this is the wrong time to delay," adding that "Normal practice when there is pressure is that the government needs to spend money for recovery – this is the right time to continue and go ahead with the infrastructure.
The chairman himself expects a 15 percent growth for his company across the board, indicating that business is picking up.
Given the atmosphere of uncertainty in the Middle East and with the Arab Spring just next door, Abu Dhabi could be given a bit more leeway for being slower with its decision-making. It has more at stake, being the capital and supporting and sustaining other emirates as well as supporting companies even those outside of the capital. By the same token, however, its wider reach is only possible because of its incredible amount of cash reserves. Sovereign Wealth Funds Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA) and the International Petroleum Investment Company (IPIC), for example, collectively have $675 billion in assets, according to SWF Institute.
While appreciate that Abu Dhabi wants to review things, with this much money in their back pocket, what's keeping the capital from going full steam ahead with some of the projects?
Creating ambitious projects on paper is great. But the second bit of rolling up our sleeves and getting down to business is trickier than what most might expect. And perhaps this is where companies in Abu Dhabi need the extra push?
"Strategic plans have been drafted by many of the countries and cities in the region, all looking forward to the next decade and beyond. What is key now is for organisations to be prepared and equipped to begin the implementation of these visionary programmes," said management consultant and author Stephen Bungay.
So are the delays just veiled forms of paralysis on the part of the involved companies in their slowed quest for implementation? From the country's recent business history, a conscious slowing down has never been because of any fear of risk. It has always been because of safeguarding against challenges that are already at their doorstep, instead of perceived threats.
But what about you Kippers, is a slow down just what the capital needs or…(CONTINUED TO NEXT PAGE)

Major x Reebok Insta Pump Fury
July 3rd, 2014 by Brendan Dunne | 1 comment
This year has been an incredible one for fans of the Reebok Insta Pump Fury, as the near-infinite amount of collaborations means that almost every weekend has a new pair on the schedule. Major is up next week with this creation, which is inspired by the emergency oxygen masks that (Hopefully never) pop down in airplanes. What's more, the shoes have got some glow in the dark strips that are made to resemble the floor-area lighting of an airplane. Get the official images for the Major x Reebok Insta Pump Fury and tell us in the comments if you want them.

Clark Stanley's Snake Oil Liniment,
Today the term " snake oil salesman" is used to describe any person or business who sales a dubious product, especially when it comes to medical products. The term originated in the 1800's when Chinese immigrants came to America, bringing with them traditional medicine which made use of snake oil. Eventually white merchants too came up with their own snake oil concoctions with claims that it could be used to cure any ailments. Many of these concoctions had no snake oil, but instead were mixtures of common household products made to relieve people of their hard earned money. Snake oil salesmen would often travel town to town, selling their product, then leaving before the customers grew wise to the fraud.
One of the most popular snake oil concoctions was "Clark Stanley's Snake Oil Liniment". A former cowboy, Clark Stanley began selling his liniment in the 1880's, claiming it was a secret recipe from a Hopi medicine man. Calling himself "The Rattlesnake King" Stanley's liniment became so popular that production facilities in Beverly, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, were set up to produce Stanley's Snake Oil. Stanley's Snake Oil Liniment claimed to cure almost every painful ailment, including rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, lame back, lumbago, contracted muscles, toothache, sprains, swellings, frost bites, chill blains, bruises, sore throat, and bites of animals, insects and reptiles. Simply rub the liniment on the affected area and enjoy the effects. Perhaps the products popularity were due to the salesmanship and marking of Stanley, who had an act where he would slaughter and process rattlesnakes in front of prospective client. During the Columbian Exposition of 1893 his act was especially popular, adding to the fame of his product.
In 1915 the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed, providing regulations for the safety and effectiveness of medicines. After tests were conducted on the liniment, it was discovered that it contained nothing more than mineral water, turpentine, red peppers, and beef fat.

"R U Ready for HSPD-12?" While walking the expansive floor of IFSEC, Henry Lott, UK sales manager for the Cygnus Security Group, and I were greeted by Scott Howell, director of marketing, and Lars Suneborn, director of government programs for HIRSCH Electronics. They drew my attention to the new Hirsh Verification Station, affectionately known as the RUU-201, the only four-factor authentication card code access control product. According to Howell, this product was designed for the HSPD-12 initiative.
"We've seen great response by government agency's that have employees that travel between sites," said Howell. "For example, when a treasury department agent visits another government facility the interoperability is seamless. The RUU-201 can confirm the identity of a cardholder to a Personal Identification Verification smart card."
According to Suneburn, the opportunities in the private sector are endless.
"We've seen interest from major hospital groups that can apply this product to checking and verifying doctors and surgeons that travel between hospitals to perform services and operations." Howell added that HSPD-12 could spread into corporate America very quickly with many applications on the horizon.
Although I didn't have my partner in fun Bruce Doneff, consultant to the security industry and U.S. manager of the IP UserGroup, with me, our friends at DVTel welcomed us in to discuss the topics of the day. When asked about the Cisco acquisition of Broadware, Kim Robbins, marketing manager for DVTel was happy to share her thoughts.
"Cisco's recent moves validate what DVTel has been evangelizing for the past five years," said Robbins. "This is where the industry is going. We are racing ahead to enterprise level solutions based solely in IP Systems."
Robbins has been with DVTel for seven years now and has a comprehensive knowledge of how the industry operates. Part of our discussion turned to the topic of what a true systems integrator is.
"I think system support defines systems integrators," said Robbins. "If you don't have an IT manager on staff with Cisco certifications you should strongly consider adding them to your team. At DVTel we try and link the IT VAR with the Security VAR in a partnership. One of the biggest challenges we see on the customer service side is not the products; it's getting the network right. Today, everything is software based, and you need to know how to grab logs off of a computer, set up an IP network, place the firewalls correctly, spec the storage needs, set up the right redundancy, set up servers and clients to spec, understand load or bandwidth issues on networks as well as the overall configure the architecture of the network. One of the goals of today's security integrator is to turn security from a cost center to a profit center. You can use video in marketing and manufacturing and at the point of sale. You can add software to ultimately do more."
Another new and exciting product offering came from Mango DSP.

"Paris. 10th Thermidor, Second Year of the French Republic
We, the undersigned, an Officer of Health of the First Class in the Armies of the Republic and a Surgeon Major of the Grenadiers in the service of the Convention, having been ordered by the Representatives of the People who are members of the Committee of General Security at 5 a.m. this morning to bind up the wound of the scoundrel Robespierre, found the aforesaid stretched on a table in one of the offices of the Palace of the Tuileries.
He was covered with blood and was peaceful in appearance, not seeming to suffer much pain. His pulse was weak and its beats little developed. After having washed the face of the wounded man we noted that the whole face was swollen. The swelling was the greatest on the left side, the side on which he was wounded. There was also ulceration of the skin and extraversion about the left eye. The pistol shot had entered at the level of the mouth, one inch from the end of the lip As its direction was oblique, from without within, from left to right, from above to below, and the wound entered the mouth, it affected the exterior skin, the cellular tissue, the triangular muscles, the buccinators, etc.
By putting a finger in the mouth was found a fracture, with splinters, at the angle of the lower jawbone. We drew out canine teeth, a first molar, and some portions of the bone from the angle. It was impossible for us to follow the course of the bullet and we did not find a hole of exit or any trace of the bullet. We are led to believe by the smallness of the wound that the pistol was only charged with a small missile. Throughout the binding of the wound the monster did not cease to gaze at us without saying a word. The bandages having been fixed we laid him on the same table in a state of complete consciousness.
Vergez (junior) Officer of Health of the First Class
Unless Robespierre was lefthanded the position of the wound seems to rule out attempted suicide. Also clearly his face was not "shattered" as per the overheated descriptions in so many books, and the bandage was not "holding it together."
Given the fact he'd been shot in the freakin face his wounds were relatively minor. His jaw was broken on the left side, he'd lost some teeth, there was muscle damage, but if the wound didn't become infected he would likely have survived with nothing more than a scar.
It seems unlikely this was a point blank self-inflicted wound to me. I think Meda did it, just as he said he did.

* Joe Queenan loves Peanuts: "Peanuts was always there as a touchstone and a balm. Unlike so many other venerated objects in US pop culture, it was sweet without being stupid, reassuring without being infantile. In the dark era in which it began, it served much the same function as I Love Lucy. The difference was it had brains."
* Love and Rocktober! Jaunty Sean T. Collins reflects on the first two volumes of Love and Rockets: New Stories: "The problems in the story—Penny's rampage, a breakout at a female supervillain penitentiary, a supervillainness out for vengeance, a Bizarro Ti-Girl—are all caused by women, addressed by women, solved by women, and have consequences felt by women. I actually think you might have a hard time getting this comic to pass a reverse Bechdel Rule, in fact." More in the link.
