|Standard Deposit
Day 1: Depart USA. Your exotic journey begins as you check in for your wide-body jet flight for Shanghai via Beijing.
Day 2: Shanghai. Arrive in China's largest city, Shanghai, a bustling port and commercial center. In recent years, Shanghai has gone through a major revitalization and is now considered one of Asia's most vibrant and exciting cities. After passport control and customs, meet your guide and transfer to the city center. Check in at your centrally located hotel, near Shanghai's famous Bund. Accommodations: Jin Jiang Hotel for 2015 departures, Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden for 2016 departures..
Day 3: Shanghai. After breakfast depart on a full day tour including lunch to some of Shanghai's most fascinating places. Start at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and later visit the Shanghai Museum of ancient Chinese art, which possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works. Its rich and high-quality collection of ancient Chinese bronze, ceramics, painting and calligraphy is known throughout the world.
After some time for silk shopping, visit the Bund, also called Zhongshan Road, a famous waterfront that has been regarded as the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years. You'll also visit the Xintiandi area, famous for its pedestrian shopping streets and trendy restaurants. Tonight, enjoy an exciting acrobatic show. Breakfast & lunch provided.
Day 4: Shanghai. Enjoy a day of leisure in Shanghai for personal explorations. Or choose an exciting optional excursion to Suzhou. Breakfast provided.
Optional Excursion: Full day Suzhou tour with lunch, $95 (purchased locally). Travel by motor coach to Suzhou, China's well-known "city of gardens". On this full day excursion including lunch, you will visit the Master of Nets Garden, explore a local market, take a ride by rickshaw for a tour of water town, visit a silk factory and embark on a boat ride through Suzhou's lovely canals. Return by motor coach to Shanghai later this evening.
Day 5: Shanghai & Yichang. This morning, visit the Yu Garden, a classical Chinese garden with over 30 pavilions linked by a maze of corridors and bridges over ponds located in the center of the Old Town. See Zhongshan Park, named in honor of Dr Sun Yat-sen. The picturesque and peaceful public park is a relaxing retreat for many residents of Shanghai. It is the perfect place to see people practicing tai chi and the visit is a great opportunity to interact with the locals. After lunch, transfer to the airport for our flight to Yichang. Upon arrival, transfer from the airport to the city and enjoy an international buffet dinner at a local hotel before embarking on your Yangtze River cruise ship. The Victoria Anna, the Yangtze's largest deluxe river cruiser. Settle into your executive-level superior cabin with outside balcony and enjoy the upgraded executive-level services and amenities that are included. Accommodations: Victoria Anna. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 6: The Three Gorges Dam & Xiling Gorge. Before setting sail for the Xiling Gorge, the first of the three famous gorges you'll visit during your cruise, you first have an opportunity to learn about the huge dam project built on the Yangtze River. The Three Gorges Dam at Sandouping is one of the largest construction projects ever undertaken by mankind, and has been a dream for generations. The Chinese Government finally gave its approval to launch the project in 1992, some seventy years after Sun Yat-sen first proposed the idea, and was completed in 2006, and became fully operational in 2011. The dam produces electricity, increases the river's shipping capacity, and reduces the potential for floods downstream by providing flood storage space. Currently the dam has generated enough electricity to cover more than one third of its cost. Return to your river cruiser and begin your sail through ship locks and the Xiling Gorge, longest and historically the most turbulent of the Yangtze gorges. Before the passage was made safe in the 1950s, the whole surface of the water was a swirling mass of whirlpools sucking the froth they created into their centers.' Xiling comprises seven small gorges and two of the fiercest rapids in the stretch of the Yangtze between Chongqing and Yichang. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 7: Daning River "Small Gorges," Wu Gorge & Qutang Gorge. After breakfast, take an excursion to through the Daning River Small Gorges, which are narrower than the Three Gorges, but very impressive. (Depending on weather conditions, Shennon Stream may be substituted: visit Shennong Stream, a tributary of the Yangtze River. With crystal clear water, this stream flows swiftly from north to south through deep gorges. A sampan tour takes you on an exciting, high speed adventure along this newly opened unspoiled river.) Return to your river cruiser and continue sailing to Wu Gorge, the most beautiful section of the Yangtze River, flanked by high peaks that are often capped by fog or clouds. The steep slopes of the gorge are green with trees and bushes but navigators from times past knew that the lovely scenery hid dangers, including whirlpools, quicksand and rapidly varying currents. Continue sailing to Qutang Gorge, known for its sheer and spectacular precipices and uniquely beautiful natural formations from every direction. Two mountains, the Red Passage Mountain to the north and the White Salt Mountain to the south, form the Kui Gate, a giant passage through which the tumultuous Yangtze bursts in an exciting rush of rolling and roaring water. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 8: Shibaozhai. Today you'll visit Shibaozhai, with its impressive 9-story wooden pagoda, appropriately named "The Pearl of the Yangtze". Shibaozhai is a steep rocky hill which resembles a colossal jade seal on the horizon. Legends attribute the creation of the hill to goddess Nuwo and her efforts to redecorate the sky. The temple at the top of the hill was built during the reign of the Emperor Qianlong and no nails were used during its construction. The red pagoda with a yellow entrance gate decorated with lions and dragons, hugs one side of the rock. As the base of the pagoda would have been beneath the water level of Three Gorges Dam, significant efforts were made to protect the area from rising water and preserve the historic site. (Depending on weather conditions, Fengdu may be substituted: Fengdu, known as a "ghost city", is popular today among tourists who come to visit the temples and shrines dedicated to the gods of the underworld. Known for its statues of ghosts and devils on Mingshan Hill, Fengdu was first described as a 'City of Ghosts' in two ancient, classic Chinese works-"Monkey King" and "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". In keeping with the town's theme, landmarks bear thematic names such as Last Glance at Home Tower, Nothing-to-be-Done Bridge, and Ghost Torturing Pass.) Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 9: Chongqing & Guilin. You arrive at Chongqing this morning and disembark the cruise ship and transfer to Chongqing Airport for the flight to Guilin. Upon arrival, board your touring coach and visit the Reed Flute Cave, whose name comes from the verdant reeds growing outside that are used to make flutes. The cave itself contains spectacular and dramatic stalactites, stone pillars and rock formations illuminated for additional drama by colored lighting. Visit the sea-water pearl factory. Tonight you'll enjoy dinner at your hotel. Accommodations: Lijiang Waterfall Hotel. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 10: Guilin. Set alongside the Li River, Guilin boasts dramatic limestone mountains and formations that have caused many Chinese to call its landscapes the "finest under heaven." Take a cruise on the Li River and enjoy lunch on board the boat. Spend the afternoon in the lovely town of Yangshuo, perhaps strolling or shopping for souvenirs along Xian Qian Street, where pedestrians have the right of way and cars are prohibited. Return to Guilin by motor coach late this afternoon. Breakfast & lunch provided.
Day 11: Guilin & Xi'an. This morning, transfer to the airport for the flight to Xi'an. After lunch, visit the city wall gate of Xi'an. Explore these massive fortifications, which represent some of the oldest and best preserved city walls in all of China. Afterwards, transfer to your hotel for check-in. This evening, join your fellow travelers at a Tang Dynasty dinner show.
Extra Feature for 2016 Departures: In Xi'an, participate in a special lecture on Chinese arts and culture at the Tang Dynasty Art Museum. An expert will introduce you to the art of calligraphy and painting and demonstrate how to write Chinese characters on special rice paper. Each participant will practice the Chinese calligraphy with a brush and paper, and take home their artwork as a special souvenir. Accommodations: Grand Mercure Xi'an for 2015 departures, Sofitel Xi'an on Renmin Square for 2016 departures. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 12: Xi'an. After breakfast, board your touring coach and drive to the site of the famous Terra Cotta Army, among the most important archeological discoveries of modern times. Except for its old City Wall, some 8 mi/12 km around, Xi'an looks like any other large industrial city. However, it holds an important archeological treasure, the Qin Army Vault Museum, home to the army of 2,200-year-old terra-cotta soldiers unearthed 25 mi/40 km east of town. More than 8,000 life-size ceramic soldiers, chariots and horses have been uncovered-only a fraction of the total buried there to protect the tomb of the first Qin emperor. Each soldier is based on an actual person of the time, and all segments of Chinese society are represented.
After a delicious dumpling lunch, visit some of Xi'an's other important sites including the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. En route, there will be a demonstration of Chinese ceramics and ancient furniture as well as time to shop. Breakfast & lunch provided.
Day 13: Xi'an & Beijing. This morning, tour of the Han Dynasty Yang Tomb, the final resting place of Emperor Liu Qi and his empress. Then transfer to the airport to fly from Xi'an to Beijing, China's historic and cultural capital. Upon arrival, explore the narrow streets and alleyways of one of Beijing's Hutong neighborhoods on a rickshaw ride. Next, enjoy a special Mongolian style Hotpot lunch at a local restaurant. The Hotpot tradition was adopted into the local cuisine during the Mongolian conquest in the 13th century and represents a significant cultural appropriation. The guide will dine with the group and explain the elements of this unique meal. Afterwards, continue to your hotel for check-in. Later tonight, enjoy Beijing's most famous (and delicious) culinary treat—Peking Duck. Then join your fellow travelers for the Legend of Kung Fu show, a special Shaolin Kung Fu stage performance that blends music, martial arts, and a moving story. Accommodations: Regent Beijing. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 14: Temple of Heaven, Forbidden City & Tiananmen Square. Begin your touring day with a visit of the Temple of Heaven, a World Heritage Site. In ancient China, the Emperor of China was regarded as the "Son of Heaven", who administered earthly matters on behalf of, and representing, heavenly authority. To be seen to be showing respect to the source of his authority, in the form of sacrifices to heaven, was extremely important. The temple was built for these ceremonies, and each winter solstice the Emperor and all his retinue would move through the city to encamp within the complex, wearing special robes and abstaining from eating meat while personally praying to Heaven for good harvests. The symbolic layout and design of the Temple of Heaven had a profound influence on architecture and planning in the Far East over many centuries. Next, enjoy a special lecture, class, and demonstration of Chinese shadow-boxing in the park by a professional, English-speaking, licensed tai chi master.
On to the Forbidden City, located at the exact center of the ancient city of Beijing, where it served as the imperial palace during the mid-Ming and Qing Dynasties. Known as the Palace Museum today, its extensive grounds cover 720,000 square meters, 800 buildings and more than 8,000 rooms. The Forbidden City is listed by UNESCO as the largest collection of preserved ancient wooden structures in the world and was declared a World Heritage site in 1987.
Continue to Tian'anmen Square for a complimentary group photo. The square was originally built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty. At 440,000 square meters, Tiananmen Square is the largest open square in the world. It was here that the People's Republic of China was proclaimed by Mao Zedong on October 1, 1949. After lunch at a nearby local restaurant, return to your hotel for the balance of the afternoon at leisure.
Extra Feature for 2016 Departures: Enjoy a special visit to the Torengtang Pharmacy near Tian'anmen Square and learn about Traditional Chinese Medicine and how it still plays a major role in the lives of locals and visitors alike. Breakfast & lunch provided.
Day 15: Great Wall of China & Ming Tombs. Depart after breakfast on a full day included excursion to the Great Wall of China, which follows a ridge of barren hills stretching at least 13,000 miles. En route, enjoy a visit to a jade factory with a special presentation and time for shopping. Construction of the Great Wall, which spanned more than two thousand years, began between the 7th and 6th century BC and continued through the Ming Dynasty. The wall was originally built of stone, wood, grass and earth, but during the Ming Dynasty, bricks were produced in kilns set up along the wall. The bricks were transported by men carrying them on their backs or by donkeys, mules and even goats, which had bricks tied to their heads before being driven up a mountain. Enjoy an opportunity to mount the ramparts of this ancient wonder.
Conclude your visit at the Sacred Way, an ancient road linking the Ming Tombs, the burial site of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. A massive stone archway, built in 1540 at the southern end of the Sacred Way, is decorated with designs of clouds, waves and divine animals. Tonight you are our guests for a sumptuous farewell dinner. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 16: Beijing/USA. Transfer to the airport to board your returning flight to the USA. Your exciting journey comes to an end as you arrive in the USA later today. Or take advantage of your included airfare, and continue to Hong Kong on the optional extension. Breakfast provided.
Prepare to be dazzled by a breathtaking symphony of lights in cosmopolitan Hong Kong. City-lovers worldwide rank Hong Kong among their must-see destinations, and for good reason. A former British colony perched on the edge of mainland China, Hong Kong is a fascinating city of contrasts—a place where East meets West; where the modern blends with the traditional; where shiny skyscrapers stand next to narrow alleys crammed with traditional vendors' stalls; where new technology flourishes alongside ancient Chinese customs. With its glorious harbor, excellent shopping, renowned restaurants, and some of the best nighttime skylines in the world, Hong Kong has it all.
Day 16: Beijing & Hong Kong. Bid farewell to Beijing as you transfer to the airport your flight to cosmopolitan Hong Kong. You'll be transferred to your luxurious hotel located in the bustling heart of Kowloon, near the scenic harbor and the "Golden Mile," Hong Kong's famous shopping district. Accommodations: The Royal Garden Hotel for 2015 departures, The Mira Hotel Hong Kong for 2016 departures. Breakfast provided.
Day 17: Hong Kong. Your morning tour of Hong Kong Island features a ride to the top of Victoria Peak for a magnificent city and harbor view. Descend and continue to Repulse Bay and Aberdeen fishing village, a community of some 600 colorful floating homes. Conclude your tour with some time for shopping. The afternoon is yours at leisure for independent sightseeing in the city. Tonight, we recommend an optional dinner cruise aboard the Hong Kong Bauhinia, where you'll enjoy a fabulous buffet dinner, live music, and stunning nighttime views of the glistening harbor. Breakfast provided.
Day 18: Hong Kong. Enjoy a full day at leisure to take in the sights and sounds of Hong Kong on your own or shop to your heart's content.
Or, take advantage of a unique optional excursion to the former Portuguese colony of Macau, situated on a corner of the Pearl River Delta. Although it was officially returned to Chinese sovereignty in 1999, Macau maintains a distinctly Mediterranean flavor. You'll see in the European-style architecture, pastel-colored buildings, open air plazas, and abundance of Portuguese wine. Breakfast provided.
Day 19: Hong Kong/USA. Your final day in Hong Kong is at leisure for shopping, strolling or taking photos. Later, transfer to the airport to board your return flight to the U.S. via Beijing. Your memorable journey to China comes to an end as you arrive in the USA later today.
Washington Dulles (IAD): Due to Air China's schedule, passengers returning to IAD must overnight in Beijing on Day 19 with their return flight on Day 20. Overnight at the Hilton Beijing Airport Hotel is included.
After your tour in China, why not take advantage of a unique opportunity to visit mysterious and exotic Tibet, located at the very rooftop of the world. For centuries, Tibet was an almost mythical land hidden behind the Himalayas, closed to outsiders and visited by only the hardiest explorers. Today, travelers can easily reach Lhasa, Tibet's capital and gateway to Tibet and experience a culture far different from our own. Here you will find kind, friendly, welcoming people, breathtaking vistas and deeply spiritual ritual that is completely interwoven with the fabric of everyday life. It's an experience not to be missed.
Day 16: Beijing/Lhasa. Transfer to the airport to board your flight to Lhasa, capital of Tibet. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure to acclimatize yourself to the extreme altitude of Lhasa. Join your group members for a welcome dinner this evening. Accommodations: Shangri-La Lhasa. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 17: Lhasa. This morning, after a good night's rest, begin your exploration of Lhasa at the Potala Palace, winter palace of the Dalai Lama since the 7th century and probably the most revered and best known building in the land. Built at an altitude of more than 11,000 ft on the side of Marpo Ri, the Red Mountain in the center of Lhasa Valley, Potala Palace has vast, inward-sloping walls broken only in the upper parts by straight rows of many windows and flat roofs at various levels giving it a fortress-like appearance.
The palace complex, which includes the White Palace which was built for secular use and contains the living quarters of the Dalai Lama, offices, the seminary and the printing house. A central, yellow-painted courtyard known as a Deyangshar separates the living quarters of the Lama and his monks with the Red Palace, the other side of the sacred Potala, which is completely devoted to religious study and prayer. The Red Palace consists of a complicated layout of many different halls, chapels and libraries on many different levels with a complex array of smaller galleries and winding passages and other buildings, is built on Red Mountain in the center of Lhasa Valley, at an altitude of over 11,000 feet.
Later, visit the Mentsekhang, the largest traditional hospital in Tibet and a major center of research, treatment, training and production of Tibetan medicine. You'll also visit a Tibetan Nun Monastery. Complete your touring with a visit to a carpet factory, where you can see how the magnificent and colorful Tibetan carpets are created (and where you can purchase and arrange shipping if you wish). Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 18: Lhasa. After breakfast, visit the Jokhang Temple Monastery, founded in the 7th century. This exceptional Buddhist religious complex is the most celebrated temple in Tibet, attracting adherents of all the Buddhist sects as well as followers of Bon-Po, Tibet's indigenous religion. Proceed to the Norbulingka, the largest and grandest garden of the Tibet Plateau and the Dalai Lama's former summer palace. Constructed in the 18th century, is a masterpiece of Tibetan art and its magnificent gardens are today a park open for the public to visit and enjoy.
Continue to Bakhor Street, the oldest street in Lhasa and a wonderful, colorful shopping area whose narrow streets are lined with shops, kiosks and vendor's Thangkas, prayer wheels, butter lamps, prayer flags, Tibetan joss sticks and other typical Tibetan goods. This is the best place to sharpen your bargaining skills, and even without the benefit of knowing the language, your pocket calculator is all the equipment you'll need to buy souvenirs at bargain prices. This evening, join your fellow travelers for dinner of mixed Tibetan and Chinese dishes. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 19: Lhasa & Tsedang. This morning you'll depart Lhasa for Tsedang, Tibet's third largest city. En route and set amid open farmland, stands Tibet's very first monastery, Samye, which is over 1200 years old. The monastery combines the styles of China, Tibet and India, and the layout was designed to represent the ideal universe described in Buddhist scriptures. Samye Monastery contains within and upon its walls many historic, religious, architectural and artistic examples from every period of Tibetan history. Its frescoes are well-known in the world for their wide variety of subjects, rich content and exquisite artistic detail. Continue by touring coach to Tsedang and check into your hotel. Accommodations: Tsedang Hotel. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided.
Day 20: Tsedang & Beijing. This morning, visit Yumbu Lhakang, the first palace and one of the earliest building projects in all of Tibet. Towering above the summit of Mt. Tashitseri on the East bank of Yarlung River, legend has it that Yumbu Lhakang was established by "Bon" (Tibet's earliest religious sect) believers for the first Tibetan King, Nyetri Tsampo, during the 2nd century B.C.
Our next stop is Traduk Monastery, another of the earliest Buddhist temples in Tibetan history. Built in 641 A.D., it is said that King Songtsan Gampo established the temple so that his kingdom might prosper. Later, Traduk Monastery became a royal winter palace filled with ancient relics and treasures. After lunch, drive to Lhasa Airport to board your flight to Beijing. Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel. Tonight dinner is on your own at one of Beijing's many wonderful restaurants. Accommodations: Regent Beijing. Breakfast & lunch provided.
Day 21: Beijing/USA. Say a reluctant goodbye to China as you transfer to the airport for your return flight to the USA, arriving in the USA later today.
Washington Dulles (IAD): Due to Air China's schedule, passengers returning to IAD must overnight in Beijing on Day 21 with their return flight on Day 22. Overnight at the Hilton Beijing Airport Hotel is included.
The Tibet Extension requires a minimum of 6 passengers in order to operate at published prices. The high altitudes reached on this trip (Tibet is about 12,000 feet above sea level) and the amount of walking involved, often on uneven terrain, requires that you be in good physical condition to fully enjoy the trip. We strongly suggest that you consult a physician regarding any concerns prior to making a reservation.
"The tour was very memorable. Our guides were knowledgeable, spoke English very well, and this made a great difference in getting to know the land of China. Thank you for offering this wonderful trip."
Diane Blackett, St. George, UT

While browsing through some of the experimental themes, I happened to run across another one of the best dark themes I have seen in a while. LumiNight has a very eye appealing look and feeling to it, as you can see here bellow.
Here is a little more from the developer:
The goal of LumiNight is to be modern & dark, with icons that can be understood easily at a glance. I went into it trying to avoid gloss-overkill and shiny orbs. This theme tries to be as straight-forward as possible, while appealing to those that like a darker theme.
This theme is brought to us by the same great designer who brought us the MushroomKingdom theme from a few weeks ago. Personally, I hope they keep up the great work! You can pick it up on the Firefox Add-ons site. Now the only question I have though is when will we see LumiDay?

please add some note to install on windows wamp server.
The installation notes for ming 0.3.0 say:
"Feb 2006: This module is for PHP4, not PHP5. Use the ming module that
comes with PHP5 if you are running PHP5."
This is a little confusing as the installation notes here don't explain how to do this with php5.
Installation on Ubuntu is quite simple, tested with version 5.2.10 on Apache2 / Ubuntu 6.4:
Install with (sudo) apt-get install php5-ming
Restart apache
You can check the installation with phpinfo(), it should show a chapter called "ming".

A Peek Inside Rappers' Brains Shows Roots Of Improvisation
Some rappers have an impressive ability to make up lyrics on the fly, in a style known as freestyle rap.
These performers have a lot in common with jazz musicians, it turns out.
Scientists have found artists in both genres are using their brains in similar ways when they improvise.
A group of jazz pianists had their heads examined in a 2008 PLOS One study, which subjected the musicians to functional magnetic resonance imaging scans. These scans highlight areas of brain activity.
When riffing on a tune instead of playing a memorized composition, the musicians had lower activity in a part of the frontal brain that is thought to be responsible for planning and greater activity in another part of the frontal brain believed to motivate thought and action.
After hearing about the jazz study, Los Angeles rappers Michael Eagle and Daniel Rizik-Baer contacted one of the researchers, Allen Braun, chief of the voice, speech and language branch of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communications Disorders. Eagle and Rizik-Baer proposed a similar study on freestyle rap.
Soon Braun's colleague Siyuan Liu at NIDCD put together a team, which included the two rappers, to determine what was happening inside these performers' brains.
In their study, published today in Scientific Reports, five professional rappers were given a set of lyrics to memorize. A week later each was put inside an MRI machine to put on his performance.
"It's not a very natural environment, that's for sure," notes Braun, a co-author on the latest study. "It's noisy and you have to lie on your back. And you need to stay still."
The clinical setting may not have been the normal setting for the rappers, but they had little difficulty performing on cue. Each would perform the preset rap, and then they would switch to improvising to the same music track.
"By comparing the two, we could see the neural activity associated with freestyle rap," Braun says.
When Liu and the other researchers examined the fMRI data, they found that, like the jazz musicians, the rappers' brains were paying less conscious attention to what was going on but had strong action in the area that motivates action and thought.
"Unlike the jazz study, these changes were very strongly associated with the left hemisphere of the brain," Braun says. That's the half of the brain where, for most right-handed people, language is processed.
The team also found a network of connections in the performers' brains during the freestyle raps, linking parts of the brain responsible for motivation, language, action and emotion.
And raps that were rated as more innovative correlated with more activity in the region of the brain that stores words. It's not surprising, says Braun, "that the more creative the rap, the more they're tapping the lexicon."
The study is part of a larger body of research that is hoping to determine what is happening inside the brain during the creative process. Braun says that he'd like to know more about what happens in the next phase of creativity, revision. He has recruited a group of poets for that study.

Report: China's environmental ministry to mandate environmental liability insurance
1:12 PM MST | February 22, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
China's Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP; Shanghai) has issued guidance mandating that petrochemical and heavy-metal industries join an environmental liability insurance system, a report in China Daily says. Under the previous system, introduced in 2007, companies joined on a voluntary basis. The voluntary system is in use in more than 10 provinces and regions, insuring more than 2,000 enterprises by almost 20 billion yuan ($3.17 billion), the report says. "The environment is under great pressure caused by the rapid development of chemical...

A Takoma Park man will spend three years behind bars after pleading guilty to human trafficking in Anne Arundel County.
Freddy Soriano Leguisamon, 27, of Hannon Street, received a 10-year sentence Thursday with all but three years suspended, said Kristen Fleckenstein, spokeswoman for the Anne Arundel State's Attorney's Office.
Judge Paul A. Hackner also sentenced Leguisamon to three years of supervised probation after his release and banned him from the city of Annapolis, Fleckenstein said Monday.
He was charged in July 2012 with more than 70 prostitution and human trafficking related charges, court records show.
Annapolice Police discovered that Leguisamon, operated a prostitution ring, shuttling women from Riverdale in Prince George's County to Annapolis, according to the charging documents.
Leguisamon, who according to charging documents went by the street name "Negro," delivered the women to customers' residences or to at least two brothels in and around Annapolis.
One of the women working for Leguisamon told investigators that she engaged in sexual activity with 26 men in four days.
Leguisamon made his prostitutes charge $30 for every 15 minutes with clients, according to the documents. Many of the women participated in the prostitution willingly, while others had been forced into it to pay off debts they or their family members owed for travel into the United States, the documents said.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Hi, I am new to disc golf and had some questions about which disc(s) to get and how to throw.
I am 13 years old and skinny, I was wondering what kind of discs I should purchase...I have no discs, but I have a budget of $50 dollars.
I also have no idea how to throw the disc the right way...so a few pointers would be awesome :)
Thank you so much!
Views: 91
Starting off you can get away with 3 to 4 discs. My 1st set up was a driver, fairway driver, midrange, and putter.
They were a: Sidewinder, Leopard, Roc, and a Avair.
Innova a makes a starter pack in DX or Champ plastic. The Champ goes for around $30 bucks and you get a Leopard, Shark and Aviar. You could also go online and pick three of your own. Marshall St. is a good store to check out, because they have a flight chart showing were the discs fall in each group. Stay below a "speed" of 6 or 7 and only pick stuff from the right side of the chart.
Youtube is great to find a ton of instructional video's on disc golf. discgolfreview also has some great articles to check out.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!!! I have just one more question and that is, are there some brands to stay away from or some that are better than others? I am also assuming that the lower the speed the less distance correct?
The pointer for figuring out how to throw is to find someone at the course who can bomb pretty well and watch them and what they do. Most likely they will be doing the X-step for backhand throws. Ask some questions of some of the better locals. If there is a league that would be a good time to go out and meet some of the better players. Tips are best given in person so get out and meet some local players.
There are also some videos on YouTube that will show proper technique.
Rescue recommended some decent starter discs as well. I would thrown in a TeeBird as a good starter disc.
Thanks! I will defiantly look for a league in my area! I am left handed...does that matter I just thought of that...and is it worth it get Champion plastic over DX?
Sorry for all the questions but what size would be the best for me?
yes on the plastic if you plan to play for a while . Just go out and have fun and it will all come to you as you play. enjoy the game .
I would say no. There are some great companies out there. I guess the most used or thrown are Innova, Discraft, Latitude 64, and Westside. I carry a few from each company and dig them all. For me I would say Quest is my peast favorite, but starting out, I'd keep it simple. Aside from Champ plastic or like plastic (Z, Opto etc.) there is also Star, ESP, and Gold Line. These are high end plastic ($16 to $20 a disc). Another thought is buying used discs. That can save you $$$ and break in time. As for low speed less "D". That's not true when you are starting out. The speed of a disc has to do with you really. So you have to be able to produce and arm speed of "6" in order to make the disc fly the wasy it was ment to. So if you only have the arm speed or snap of around "6". That disc will go farther than a disc with a speed of "10", because you can't throw it properly in order for it to perform the way it's suppose to.
Being left handed doesn't make a difference it how you throw or how the disc will react, they are circular objects. Champion (Innova), Opto (Lat64), and Z (Discraft) are the most durable plastics you can buy from these three companies and will last a very long time provided you don't lose them.
As far as size goes, it really called weight, and they are measured in grams. At 13, and being a new player, weights in the 150-165 gram weights would be a good choice. Drivers require more speed, so lighter weights will get you a better result. The Innova starter packs have been put together with a lot of thought and are some of the best molds that they make, for beginners and pros alike.
Have fun, play alot, watch others, and check out videos on YouTube.
My kids play by the way. My daughters are #2 and #5 in the world for 10 and 13 years old girls.

Fight childhood obesity! Get hooping now for great parent/child fitness and just plain fun. Canyon children's and youth hula hoops are the result of years of working with children of different ages and sizes to make a hoop that is rugged, and the right size for your pre-teen or larger child. These hoops are made from 3/4" I.D. 100 psi tubing that will stand up to the punishment of many hours of hooping, pulling, spinning, and whatever else your child's imagination can come up with. Canyon youth and child hoops are designed to last. Children's hoops are approximately 34" in diameter and the youth hoops are 36" in diameter. The hoops weigh approximately 14 ounces and 16 ounces respectively. Perfect for kids and for experienced adults who want a smaller, lighter, and more responsive hoop. We also make lighter hoops for children in 1/2" O.D. tubing sold under the name of Dance and Performance Hoops - "Ultra Flex".
It is difficult to predict the exact age or weight of the child but you can be sure that these hoops will work to make it easy to learn and fun to use. I recommend the child hoop for your children up to about age 7. If your child is a bit taller or heavier the youth hoop is recommended. Children between 7 and 10 are about right for the youth hoop. We recommend the small adult exercise or dance hoop for your pre-teens and larger children. It is estimated that 31 percent of U.S. children between the ages of 10 to 17 are overweight or obese. You can help your child and yourself by finding an exercise that you can do with your children that is fun and benefits your health and wellbeing for the rest of your, and your childs life.
As always custom sizes and colors are available please call 503-728-8502 for more information.

white outer border contains authentic facsimilie autographs of no less
than 22 of the players on the roster that day - Gary Bennett, Chris Carpenter,
David Eckstein, Adam Wainwright, Juan Encarnacion, Randy Flores, Jason

Taguchi, Skip Schumaker, Scott Rolen, Jim Edmonds, Albert Pujols, Sidney

Last year, Awet Woldegebriel '14 was selected to be a presenter at the prestigious Clinton Global Initiative University (CGIU), founded by President Clinton to bring together students, youth organizations, topic experts, and celebrities to discuss and develop innovative solutions to pressing global challenges. Awet, an international studies major, was invited to attend CGIU again this year to discuss his nonprofit Knowledge Aid—this time accompanied by three more Oglethorpe students: Mon Baroi '15, Jacob Tadych '14, and Carolina Duque '13, selected to attend based on their own impressive projects.
Mon, a politics major and nonprofit management minor, and Jacob, a business major, have been working on Oglethorpe's Tiny Homes Project since September 2011, with the help of other members of the Oglethorpe community. "The mission of Oglethorpe's Tiny Homes Project is to build a $400 home that is sustainable and environmentally-conscious on the campus of Oglethorpe in 2013," explained Mon. "After we build the prototype, our first home, our plan is to raise $5,000 so that we can build five homes that are endorsed by the city of Atlanta for homeless or low-income individuals."
The team plans to share their plans and research online, so that it may be improved upon and replicated around the world.
"I'm excited (to attend CGIU)," Jacob said. "I'm hoping we can get networks, get more people involved… plus we get to hear all the ideas from other people."
One of those ideas is Carolina's nonprofit, Mas Luz, which provides services and aid to help women in Colombia who have been physically and mentally abused.
"I'm looking forward to show everybody what we are doing in Colombia to help," said Carolina, who is from Colombia and is studying business at Oglethorpe. "I wasn't expecting (CGIU) to choose me. I am stunned."
Carolina also hopes to network and to hear about other people's projects. As Awet experienced last year, CGIU gives students the chance to grow their ideas and to make them a reality.
"The thing about (Tiny Homes) is that a lot of people think that it's just about a house," said Mon, "and the thing is, it's not just about a house, it's about a state of mind and a lifestyle. We're advocates of a certain type of lifestyle, a lifestyle of lifelong learning."
Congratulations, Carolina, Mon, Jacob and Awet—may your ideas continue to flourish! Learn more about Oglethorpe's business majors, politics major and nonprofit management minor.

I have a study area and 6 different DTMs for that area from different sources and I would like to know the percentage of pixels with the same value. I suppose I will have to extract some statistic and make some calculations in Excel, but I don't know what to extract and how to do it. If somebody knows some methods or something similar please give some indications.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
What is the method for finding the percentage of common cells among 2 or more DTMs for the same area?
One problem you will have is that the grids won't be lined up properly.
6 different grids with 6 different cell size, extent and numebr of cells, means that you not only have data differences, but also you have problems with the interpolation required to make them coincident.
But, once they're coincident, you could work our the standard deviation by using some map algebra, then do some summary statistics to work out how many have an SD > 0.

Actually, they said that a long time ago.
SI and Steam stated that when you update the game via steam (and this year steam is the only way to do that), you must always update with the last version available.
So i would think that would be very clear to everyone that, when you update the game, there is no way to go back.
What you may argue is, the old system was better. Last year we could apply a patch, test it, and if we didn't like it, we could uninstall the game, and install it again with the patch that we choose. (for example last year there were 3 patches, but many people decided that patch 11.2 after testing patch 11.3)
This year we dont have this choice, because SI... the owner of the game... decided like this! It's their right!

I have heard some people speak against cremation for Christians, because of the ties it has to some eastern religions. But what does the Bible actually say about cremation, or any other burial practices?
There is nothing in the Bible that specifically deals with what to do with the bodies of the deceased. Cremation does not appear to be a part of any burial customs of God's people in biblical times.
Joseph (Jacob's son), in faith, gave instructions to the Israelites to carry his bones back to the Promised Land when God would give Israel that land centuries after he died. With his role in Egypt, he may have even been mummified according to Egyptian customs.
We also know that Jesus was not cremated, and His body did not see corruption.
It seems that the biggest issue with cremation is that it actively destroys the body rather than passively surrendering it to natural processes.
Don't cremate
The idea comes from the concept that whatever happens to our bodies in this life will impact our bodies for eternity:
Here, Jesus clearly states that if we are blinded, we will be blinded once we enter heaven.
Cremate, if you want
The argument for cremation says that Jesus was probably using hyperbole when he said this, since other passages show that there will be no blindness in heaven:
Also, even though this body is completely destroyed, we will be given an eternal one:

U15 KS Rush Are State Champs!
Congratulations to the U15 Kansas Rush Wolves Academy Girls for winning the U15 Kansas State Cup Championship Sunday in Topeka Kansas!
The girls beat a very good Sporting Blue Valley Rowdies team in the final 2-1 revenging a loss in last year's state cup final game that went to Penalty Kicks against the same team. The girls battled thru 5 games over 2 weekends winning all 5 games scoring 10 goals and giving up only 2 goals in those 5 games. " I have never been more proud of a team than I am this one. The girls have worked so hard for the last 2 ½ years to get to the point where they can call themselves State Champs, I am so happy for them. We have had a lot of ups and downs over that time period but their attitudes and work ethic has been amazing and I could not be more proud to be their coach" said Coach Randall Porter. The girls will now head to the Midwest Regional Championships in Dayton Ohio In June and represent the state of Kansas. Congratulations girls and best of luck at regionals.
The U18 Kansas Rush Wolves Academy also deserves a shoutout as they finished as Kansas State Cup Runners up.

If you are a baseball fan, then you have an opinion about the All-Star Game. You may feel the voting process is ridiculous; you may hate the fact that the winning league gets home field advantage in the World Series. But no matter how you feel, the one thing that even the harshest critic of the game cannot deny is that you have a special memory from at least one of the previous 83 games played in league history.
That memory may not even be an entire game itself but simply one moment where you watched and said, "I'm glad I saw that happen". Every baseball fan has at least one, some, like myself have more than one. Those memories can include a young rookie making his All-Star Game debut or an aging star playing in his last. The memory can be a home run, or in recent generations, a home run derby.
The defensive-minded fans may remember a great inning or two their favorite pitcher hurled in which he struck out the side. Some fans simply enjoy the pomp and circumstance that surrounds the game itself.
Whatever your All-Star memory is, it belongs to you. And like a lot of great sports moments or memories, you will never forget where you were when you watched it.
Maybe you were fortunate enough to attend an All-Star Game, having a beer and a hot dog with your favorite family member or friend. Maybe, as a 10-year old kid during a scorching hot July night, you were sitting in the only room of the house that was cooled by the window-unit air conditioner watching on TV.
I would even be willing to bet that your memory of an MLB All-Star Game is not complete with which league won or lost, and that is what makes this event so special—the fact that what is important is the baseball itself, the stars on the field and a moment waiting to happen.
Sure, there is something to play for these days, as the winning league will have home field advantage in the World Series.
This year, A.L Manager Jim Leyland appears as if he truly wants to win the game, as evidenced by the number of pitchers he selected. Leyland found out first hand last October what starting on the road can mean in the Fall Classic. With his team having a good shot to return this October, the Tigers manager has loaded his roster with at last count, at least four more arms than his National League counterpart, Bruce Bochy has.
That will add intrigue to this year's contest but this game always was and is about your heroes, or now, your kids' heroes. Hopefully, everyone that is playing is doing so for the love of the game. If you are an adult, the All-Star Game is a time to remember when you were a kid and if you are a kid, well, you're dreaming about playing in the game one day yourself.
A few years ago, MLB baseball conducted a poll and asked what your favorite All-Star moment was—not your favorite All-Star game. I could not pick just one "favorite moment" but I did in the end for the sake of the vote. However, if you stick with this slide show (20 slides), you will learn about some of the special moments and which one I thought was the most special.
I would love to have feedback and read your comments. I would like to thank the Baseball Almanac and baseball-reference.com for the use of their stats and play-by-play accounts on these great Midsummer Classic's
