hi there there my I ask do you do any banner commissions? If so id like a banner for my etsy shop I will pay you 300
okay so I want big bubbly glossy pastel yellow letters that say NiyahSweetKawaiWorld and I want he background to be pastel bubble gum pink with chibi deserts and chibi brown teddy bears with cute candies and a rainbow in the back. interested?
Well, truthfully, that's a lot of work for 300
But may I ask a few questions while I consider it?
Will this design have outlines? I'm worried about some of the pastel colors clashing.
What dimensions do you need it to be?
Where exactly did you want the rainbow placement?
yes please have it with outlines.
and 3dimenisional please like the ones in your gallery.
I would like a lot of chibi rainbows in the background
When I said dimensions, I mean the size. I haven't used etsy myself, so I don't know what size the banner would need to be.
However, after thinking about it, it sounds like a bit more work than I'm up for at the moment. I'm sorry. >_< I need to be focusing on my own work at the moment. I've been slacking off, and I don't think it would be wise to take on even more.
I hope you find someone, though!
oh and I purposely put the word "kawai" with one i
Hehe, i love your cute art work ^w^

Per N. Hagen
Per N. Hagen (12 June 1936 – 9 January 2010) was a Norwegian politician for the Centre Party.
He served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from Hedmark during the term 1977–1981.[1] On the local level he was the mayor of Tynset from 1972 to 1987,[2] and a member of Hedmark county council.[3] He was a State Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government from 1989 to 1990, in Syse's Cabinet, and from 1997 to 1999 in Bondevik's First Cabinet. In between he chaired the Norwegian Parliamentary Intelligence Oversight Committee from 1996 to 1997.[1]
Hagen was also a board member of Østlendingen, and held positions in Kommunalbanken and the Industrial Development Corporation of Norway (SIVA).[3] He died in January 2010 following long-term illness.[2]

"Governor Romney has the leadership qualities we need to bring real change to Washington," Hatch said. "At a time of unprecedented challenges, we need to elect an innovative problem solver like Governor Romney."
The senator, who like Romney is Mormon, cited Romney's "vision" and his record as governor as additional reasons for his support.
"For more than 30 years, Senator Hatch has been a powerful and effective conservative voice in the United States Senate," said Romney in a statement released by his campaign. "Senator Hatch is a leading authority on judicial matters and has worked to cut down the size of government and let hardworking Americans keep more of what they earn. I am honored to have him on my campaign."

Nancy Braden Scheyhing, 86, a former occupational therapist, died of congestive heart failure Friday, July 19, at the retirement community Medford Leas at Lumberton.
A former resident of Moorestown, Mrs. Scheyhing earned a bachelor's in sociology at Hiram (Ohio) College in 1948 and graduated from the occupational therapist program at the University of Pennsylvania in 1951.
"She earned the highest score on her certification exam in the state," daughter Joyce Scheyhing said Tuesday.
Mrs. Scheyhing worked at what was then Trenton State Hospital from 1951 to 1953, then postponed her career to raise her family, her daughter said.
From 1966 until 1989, Mrs. Scheyhing worked part-time at the former Greenleaf Extension nursing home in Moorestown.

A peptidomimetic is a small protein-like chain designed to mimic a peptide. They typically arise either from modification of an existing peptide, or by designing similar systems that mimic peptides, such as peptoids and β-peptides. Irrespective of the approach, the altered chemical structure is designed to advantageously adjust the molecular properties such as, stability or biological activity. This can have a role in the development of drug-like compounds from existing peptides. These modifications involve changes to the peptide that will not occur naturally (such as altered backbones and the incorporation of nonnatural amino acids).
D-peptide peptidomimetics[edit]
A D-peptide is a small sequence of D-amino acids. Since ribosomes are specific to L-amino acids, D-peptides rarely occur naturally in organisms and are not easily digested or degraded. D-peptide peptidomimetics are D-peptides designed to mimic natural L-peptides that commonly have therapeutic properties.
Properties of D-peptides[edit]
When placed in a nonchiral solvent like water, D-peptides, as well as the larger polypeptide D-proteins, have similar but mirrored properties to the L-peptides and L-proteins with identical sequences. If an L-protein does not require a Chaperone or a structural cofactor to fold, its D-enantiomer protein should have a mirror image conformation with respect to the L-protein (Figure 1). A D-enzyme should act on substrates of reverse chirality compared to the L-enzyme with the same sequence. Similarly, if an L-peptide binds to an L-protein, their D-peptide and D-protein counterparts should bind together in a mirrored way.[1]
D-peptides also have properties that make them attractive as drugs. D-peptides are less susceptible to be degraded in the stomach or inside cells by proteolysis. D-peptide drugs can therefore be taken orally and are effective for a longer period of time. D-peptides are easy to synthesize, when compared to many other drugs. In some cases, D-peptides can have a low immunogenic response.[2]
Methods to design D-peptides[edit]
Ret design[edit]
An L-peptide has three analogue sequences (Figure 2) built from L and D amino acids: the D-enantiomer or inverso-peptide with the same sequence, but composed of D-amino acids and a mirror conformation; the retro-peptide, consisting of the same sequence of L amino acids but in reverse order; and the retro-inverso or D-retro-enantiomer peptide, consisting of D-amino acids in the reversed sequence.[3] [4]
While the L-peptide and its D-enantiomer are mirror structures of each other, the L-retro-peptide is the mirror image of the D-retro-inverso-peptide. On the other hand, the L-peptide and the D-retro-inverso-peptide share a similar arrangement of side-chains, although their carboxyl and amino groups point in opposing directions. For small peptides that do not depend on a secondary structure for binding, an L-peptide and its D-retro-inverso-peptide is likely to have a similar binding affinity with a target L-protein.
Mirror-image phage display[edit]
Phage display is a technique to screen large libraries of peptides for binding to a target protein. In phage display, the DNA sequence that codes the potential drug-peptide is fusioned to the gene of the protein coat of bacteriophages and introduced into a vector. Diversity can be introduced to the peptide by mutagenesis. The protein coats peptides are then expressed and purified, and applied to a surface of immobilized protein targets. The surface is then washed away to remove non-binding peptides, while the remaining binding peptides are eluted. [5]
Mirror-image phage display is a similar method that can be used to screen large libraries of D-peptides that bind to target L-proteins. More precisely, since D-peptides can not be expressed in bacteriophages, mirror-image phage display screens L-peptides that bind to immobilized D-proteins that are previously chemically synthesized. Because of the mirror properties of D-peptides, the D-enantiomer of an L-peptide that binds to a D-protein will bind to the L-protein.
Mirror-image phage display, however, has two disadvantages when compared to phage display. Target D-proteins must be chemically synthesized, which is normally an expensive and time consuming process. Also, the target protein must not require a cofactor or a chaperone to fold, otherwise the chemically synthesized D-protein will not fold to the target, mirror structure.
Peptidomimetic approaches have been utilized to design small molecules that selectively kill cancer cells, an approach known as targeted chemotherapy, by inducing programmed cell death by a process called apoptosis. The following two examples mimic proteins involved in key Protein–protein interactions that reactivate the apoptotic pathway in cancer, but do so by distinct mechanisms.
In 2004, Walensky and co-workers reported a stabilized alpha helical peptide that mimics pro-apoptotic BH3-only proteins, such as BID and BAD.[6] This molecule was designed to stabilize the native helical structure by forming a macrocycle between side chains that are not involved in binding. This process, referred to as peptide stapling, uses non-natural amino acids to facilitate macrocyclization by ring-closing olefin metathesis.[7] In this case, a stapled BH3 helix was identified which specifically activates the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by antagonizing the sequestration of BH3-only proteins by anti-apoptotic proteins (e.g. Bcl-2, see also intrinsic and extrinsic inducers of the apoptosis). This molecule suppressed growth of human leukemia in a mouse xenograft model.[6]
Also in 2004, Harran and co-workers reported a dimeric small molecule that mimics the proapoptotic protein Smac (see mitochondrial regulation in apoptosis).[8] This molecule mimics the N-terminal linear motif Ala-Val-Pro-Ile. Uniquely, the dimeric structure of this peptidomimetic led to a marked increase in activity over an analogous monomer. This binding cooperativity results from the molecule's ability to also mimic the homodimeric structure of Smac, which is functionally important for reactivating caspases.[9] Smac mimetics of this type can sensitize an array of non-small-cell lung cancer cells to conventional chemotherapeutics (e.g. Gemcitabine, Vinorelbine) both in vitro and in mouse xenograft models.[10]

Last Tuesday, over 8,000 Alaskans took hours out of their day to crowd together in schools and civic centers all across Alaska to caucus for presidential candidate Bernie Sanders. Even the town center in conservative Eagle River was overrun with Sanders supporters. The vibes inside the caucus halls were true to Sanders' overall campaign … bring on the revolution in our political system. One of the core themes of Sen. Sanders' campaign is to get big money out of politics and restore our democracy.
As I noted in a previous column, a poll done by the Alaska Dispatch News (Jan. 28, 2016) showed "an overwhelming proportion of respondents — 93 percent — said it was either very important or somewhat important to enact a plan like Gov. Bill Walker's (which includes taxes) to address the state's budget shortfall."
At the end of 2015, Sen. Lisa Murkowski moved the first major energy bill since 2007 out of committee and onto the Senate floor by a rare bipartisan margin of 18–4.
John Naisbitt, futurist and author of Megatrends, observed that in America's participatory democracy, "Leadership involves finding a parade and getting in front of it." Applying this astute observation to Alaska's fiscal predicament, the "take action now" parade is happening. Will our Alaska Legislature jump in front of it or ignore it?
The inspiration for this column comes from two places. One is that it's the end of year and the second is from Haines writer and friend Heather Lende. Her latest book, "Find the Good," is a gem of insightful life writing. Pretending she was on her deathbed and trying to come up with a few pithy words of wisdom just before having her soul whispered up the chimney, she came up with three words - find the good. She writes, "I surprised myself with this pretty great notion. Find the good. That's enough. That's plenty. I could leave my family with that."
Whether you approve of President Barack Obama's overall job performance or not, Obama is getting international kudos for the way he delivered on the recently negotiated Paris climate agreement. As ABC News reported on Dec. 14, "Getting nearly 200 countries to sign a carbon-cutting pact seemed a remote possibility just a few years ago, and the agreement reached in Paris marks one of Obama's most significant diplomatic achievements."
The Juneau Economic Development Council recently released its 2015 Economic Indicators report, showing that if it were not for the loss of government jobs, Juneau's economy would be growing.
For example, the private sector added over 100 jobs in 2014 and wages were even slightly up, but overall the total wage and salary employment was down by 0.1 percent. The decline in government jobs has been ongoing for several years; the biggest loss of government jobs came from local and tribal government, with a decline of 57 positions while the federal government saw 53 fewer in 2014.
What common accomplishment do Sen. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump share in this year's presidential race? Answer: Raising the profile of the small donor.
As polar opposites, both candidates have put a spotlight on the value of small campaign contributions. Sanders' campaign represents an important twist in the era of super PACs. To date, he has raised $41.5 million from 1.3 million small donors, pushing back against the egregious Supreme Court Citizens United ruling, which gave corporations and unions the green light to spend unlimited sums on political campaigns.
As an Alaskan already spending my Permanent Fund Dividend check and as someone "wowed" by Pope Francis' blunt talk on immigration, social justice, poverty and climate, I could not pass on thinking about the Pope's recent trip as sort of a PFD, a Pope Francis Dividend, for all of America. When you connect the Pope's message about income equality and the need and benefit for the redistribution of wealth — this is to what the PFD does to a degree in Alaska.
President Barack Obama honored Alaskans by boldly and graciously choosing our state as a setting for the global stage of climate change. As global greenhouse gas emissions now exceed 400 ppm and the world races toward the 2 degree Celsius benchmark (set by 42 industrialized and 43 developing countries to avoid irreversible warming beyond humanity's control), the importance of success in the U.N.-sponsored Paris negotiations cannot be overstated. To set the stage for these critical negotiations he chose Alaska. What an honor.

The Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair is in its 65th year! The fair drew students from ten Texas counties, and in addition, many local high school students, teachers and parents joined us during the public viewing of the projects and for the awards ceremony. This year's fair was held on February 21–22, 2016 at the College Park Center at the University of Texas at Arlington.
Over 350 students attended, with many parents, siblings, and teachers on hand to enjoy seeing the exhibits and participate in various other activities sponsored by the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA).
Results from the 2016 Fair will be posted shortly on our Awards page, so be sure to check back often to see all of our winners and the many sponsoring organizations who provided named awards.

I better just call my lawyer…
Totally unfair and highly illegal! How would they react to news about their kid? "I have a meeting. Leave a message"?
she should have thought first, how would my sons school know where I am and why would they call me at any number other than my cell number, if this is a modern day strip.
This is why my wife really can't have a job outside the home
My step daughter has multiple disabilities and for the most part she goes day-to-day with no major problems, then there are times when she needs special attention daily that only my wife knows enough about her condition to give her
Most employers aren't willing to be flexible with an employee that may have to leave at a moments notice on any given day, and may need days to weeks off at a time
Usually they won't tell you so you never ever know. You are at your most vulnerable when on a job interview.
This is still a Depression despite what the corporate press has reported.
Lizzie lose.
Our country loses.
Cell phone or no cell phone, if the school can't reach the primary person, they will call the alternate.
A good father would react in the same way.
Why is this to be considered funny? It's not.
Sometimes comics are also a reflection of the world we live in. This is one of those comics.

Similar design, different city, different layout. Bet this postcard that one guy copied the other, the picture on top is from the older city.
In the same park, you will see this bandstand. See the above picture, left side.
Someone designed this beatifully tailored drive, it is still quite pretty today. It is a park of some kind. It actually belongs in Guyana, got mixed up because I had Suriname and Guyana pictures mixed together and this was not picked up until I began my Guyana page. It could be removed from this page if anyone objects.
This is, or was, a grand house at one time, notice the nice balconies, solid wood columnlar supports, and many windows.
Someone of means built this house way back when.
No doubt some kind of Government building, but what or which, i do not know. Maybe someone who lives in Suriname would know.
All of the following pictures will give you a flavour of the older kinds of buildings and their rather similar architecture, which maximizes floor space.
So often in these older settled countries, the high ground with the view is where you often find the worst living circumstances.
A poor man's house with a rich man's view.

Irene, interested in space travel herself and any stories about fleets was all agog. She replied, "So you're an Army brat. That is what we call people who were born while their parents served in the military."
"It's what I am," Aruko added, trying to be helpful, "My mother serves. She's a science officer specializing in terra forming or something. So I'm an Army brat." He tucked his datapad in his pocket and slung his bag upon his shoulder. "So how about we all split to our rooms and then meet here and get some chow. You in?" He directed his question at everyone.
"Better make it your last meal probies," Devon interrupted. "If anything you look like you wouldn't make it past the entrance examinations."
Aruko was seized with an idea, a rather rash one even by his own standards. He said, "Bet you five hundred credits we all do and we score near the top."
Devon was up for a challenge and relished in the fact that there was always someone willing to do the dirty work for him. "I'll take that bet. Loser."
"We'll see who the loser is at the end of the day tomorrow," Aruko replied.
"Yeah. I wouldn't mind putting a boot up your snooty..." Irene was getting too much into it. Yet she knew Devon's type very well. She had to actually talk to them when she was at home. She was rather put out that it seemed the life her mother wanted for her followed her here. "We'll show you."
"Look forward to it. Easiest five hundred I ever made," and Devon walked away.
Irene growled, "I totally despise his kind. Oh it's just as bad as if I were at home." She then walked off without saying another word.

In act 2 of Diablo III there are vulture-like monsters that circle in the air around the hero until they spot a "weakness", and then they swoop down to attack. What is the definition of "weakness", and is there anything I can do to force them down earlier, when I'm not at a disadvantage?
In my experience, the "moment of weakness" is when one of the following applies:
If you have some way of damaging yourself in a controlled setting - e.g. by activating a weak trap - it might be a relatively safe way of getting them down.
However, they also swoop down if you just let some time pass, so if you have the patience and don't want to be attacked at a disadvantage, just wait it out.

UNDATED (AP) - Audiences continue to buy tickets for the Christian movie "Fireproof."
Nielsen Entertainment says the drama starring Kirk Cameron as a
firefighter who turns to God to save his marriage was the 10th biggest box office draw this past weekend, its third week in the top 10.
That's despite the fact that other movies are showing in three to four times as many theaters.
Taking that into account, "Fireproof" was the weekend's fourth most popular film, grossing more than $3,600 per theater where it was shown.
Produced for $500,000 by pastors and volunteers from Sherwood
Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, "Fireproof" has grossed almost
$17 million so far.

"Of course, without people like us Marstens, there wouldn't be anybody to do the manual labor that makes this country run. Without penal workers, who would work the production lines, or pick the melons and peaches, or maintain the streets and parks and public lavatories? Our economy depends on prison labor. Without it everybody would have to work -- whether they wanted to or not."
In the late twenty-first century Bo Marsten is unjustly accused of a causing a rash that plagues his entire high school. He loses it, and as a result, he's sentenced to work in the Canadian tundra, at a pizza factory that's surrounded by hungry polar bears. Bo finds prison life to be both boring and dangerous, but it's nothing compared to what happens when he starts playing on the factory's highly illegal football team. In the meantime, Bork, an artificial intelligence that Bo created for a science project, tracks Bo down in prison. Bork has spun out of control and seems to be operating on his own. He offers to get Bo's sentence shortened, but can Bo trust him? And now that Bo has been crushing skulls on the field, will he be able to go back to his old, highly regulated life?

TOWN OF WALLKILL — Ballard Road is expected to be closed from Smith Road to Route 211 East for the next two days at least because of a large water main break.
The pipe that broke is about 40 years old and belongs to the Ball Corp., which has a beverage can plant on Ballard Road, Wallkill Supervisor Dan Depew said. It is about 20 feet beneath the road, which complicates the job of fixing or replacing it. Ball has hired a private contractor who is doing the work.
Ballard Road is one of the town's busiest, frequently used by people going to the Galleria at Crystal Run mall or the health-care providers on Crystal Run Road. Revere Smelting is also on Ballard Road.
Detours will be posted to redirect traffic to North Galleria Drive and Smith Road, town Public Works Commissioner Lou Ingrassia Jr. said. Motorists are urged to avoid the area to minimize delays. Trucks going to Revere and Ball will still be allowed to enter using the 211 East intersection.
As of Tuesday afternoon, workers were still digging down to the pipe, and it wasn't clear yet if anybody's water would have to be shut off when the line is being fixed. In the meantime, the Ball plant continued to operate.
Anyone with any questions can contact Depew's office at 692-7830 or Ingrassia's office at 326-1435.

We are building some firewalls that run PFSense. The systems use the SuperMicro Super X8DTN+ motherboard, which includes a dual link intel gigabit network card (Intel 82576 controller)
I have tried this out on several different identical boxes -- always the same result.
Anyway, if I configure PFSense to use the IGB driver for the intel 82576 and I setup one port of the dual port controller to be WAN and the other to be LAN I get terribly slow speeds (about 10 kB/sec). This with wan=igb0, lan=igb1
If I add an additional, separate PCI-X network card (using the EM driver) i get phenomenal speeds (wan=em0, lan=igb0). Kicker is -- the igb driver is still in use!
Any ideas why this might be or how to go about fixing it?

1. Philadelphia Union (6-3-4, 22 points) Prev. 3: Philadelphia is quietly chugging along as the best team in the Eastern Conference. The Union was unlucky to not win against Real as its offense was in fine form, but the finishing was slightly off. Next up: Vancouver, Saturday.
2. Los Angeles Galaxy (8-2-7, 31 points) Prev. 2: None of last week's top five teams played particularly well this last week. Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Salt Lake and Seattle combined for a record of 0-2-3, with the Galaxy responsible for one of the ties, the second of the year against Toronto. Next up: Colorado, Saturday.
3. San Jose Earthquakes (5-4-4, 19 points) Prev. 6: No team is playing better soccer than the Earthquakes. The most amazing part is that San Jose is doing so without its leader, Chris Wondolowski. The Quakes is the only team in MLS to have won four of the last five. Next up: Friday, Kansas City.
4. FC Dallas (7-4-4, 25 points) Prev. 1: Normally a single loss wouldn't result in a team falling so far in the rankings. But an ugly 4-1 loss to typically pathetic Kansas City deserves harsh criticism. FC Dallas fans can find comfort by watching highlights of Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks. Next up: Chivas, Saturday.
5. Colorado Rapids (4-3-7, 19 points) Prev. 8: The streak is over. After six straight ties and single-point results, the Rapids were able to secure three much needed points. Colorado is recovering from the injury bug that bit it early in the season and is playing more like the championship team of last year. Next up: Los Angeles, Saturday.
6. Seattle Sounders (5-4-7, 22 points) Prev. 5: Seattle was thwarted from three hard-fought points by Erik Hassli's miracle goal. But it could have been worse for the Sounders. Kasey Keller continually saves the day. He has earned three saves of the week awards thus far. Next up: Toronto, Saturday.
7. Real Salt Lake (6-3-3, 21 points) Prev. 4: Real came away with only one point from a tough two-game road trip. Salt Lake is still the only team to have won half of its games or more this season. Next up: DC United, Saturday.
8. New York Red Bulls (5-2-7, 22 points) Prev. 7: New York finally won a game, but it was against one of the worst teams in the league, and it took a goal by New England to secure it. The national media continues to place New York as favorites, but the Red Bulls aren't playing great soccer. Next up: Portland, Sunday.
9. Houston Dynamo (4-5-6, 18 points) Prev. 13: Houston's up and down season appears to be on the upswing, although a road win still continues to evade the Dynamo. Next up: Columbus, Saturday.
10. Chivas USA (4-4-5, 15 points) Prev. 10: The Goats lost some rhythm in losing to Houston on Saturday. Prior to that, Chivas hadn't lost in three games. The Goats are one of the few MLS teams to own a better road record than home record. To regain its lost rhythm, Chivas will need to change that trend. Next up: Dallas, Saturday.
11. D.C. United (4-5-4, 16 points) Prev. 9: United's defensive woes are back. Earlier in the season, United had three games where its opponents scored four or more goals — a league high. But in recent weeks, the back line has held firm. The old trend reappeared Saturday as the Union allowed four easy goals against San Jose. Next up: Salt Lake, Saturday.
12. Columbus Crew (4-4-6, 18 points) Prev. 12: Andres Mendoza continues to make headlines around MLS, and not in a good way. While he did play well against Salt Lake, the Peruvian caused a controversy by refusing to give up a penalty kick to Jeff Cunningham, who is one goal away from tying the all-time goal leader and is the team's designated penalty kicker. Next up: Houston, Saturday.

No shame in losing to Leonard; he'd have beaten several great middleweights, I'm sure of it. He always had that special talent and looked comfortable at 160lbs.
Hagler seemed to age very quickly. For whatever reason, he already looked slow by the Hearns fight and as a former student of Hagler's career, I in fact first noticed the decline in the Hamsho rematch, 1984, even if there was a great knockout on the end of it. By 1985, aggression was enough to cover up the fact he no longer had the speed and footwork to counter punch and box. Any snap in his punches had long disappeared by 1986 - seriously - see for yourself and compare the velocity from earlier showings. 1987 was worse.
Hagler simply couldn't keep up with Leonard and walked in with his head down and swung hooks slowly.
I'm absolutely convinced that a 1980-'83 Hagler would have dominated Leonard, and rightly so, seeing as 160lbs was his territory. He was a sharp hitting technician back then, as opposed to a slow, hittable, not-that-powerful clubber with only remnants remaining of a once stiff jab.
There was definitely a deterioration there. If it was anyone else but Marv in the first half of the fight, most people wouldn't have a problem scoring for Ray. He looked very flat, his work just wasn't cohesive. At his best i think he would have just ground Ray down with strength, sharpness and educated pressure.

Read more Staying on Track: A New Tool for Designing and Meeting Emissions-Reduction Goalsby Kelly Levin, David Rich and Pankaj Bhatia - November 18, 2014 The Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol's Mitigation Goal Standard, launched today, provides the first-ever standardized approach for designing, assessing, and reporting progress on a variety of national and subnational mitigation goals. The standard can help governments set emissions-reduction targets, meet domestic and international emissions reporting obligations to groups like the UNFCCC, and ensure that efforts to reduce emissions are actually achieving their intended results. Read more How to Calculate Policies' Effects on Greenhouse Gas Emissionsby David Rich, Kelly Levin and Pankaj Bhatia - November 18, 2014 Tunisia launched its renewable energy program in 2010 to scale up solar photovoltaic systems and used the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol's Policy and Action Standard—to find out just how much the program would reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions.

The new $3.4 million student accommodation built by the
Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) is a platform for
further expansion and making Queenstown an alternative to
Auckland for students.
Institute chief executive Penny Simmonds made the comments to
more than 30 guests at the official opening of the
villa-style facility in Remarkables Park Town Centre on
The ribbon was cut by Deputy Prime Minister Bill English,
beside Invercargill MP Eric Roy.
Mr English, who is also Clutha-Southland MP and Finance
Minister, said he and Mr Roy would miss their associations
with SIT when they retire as house members of Parliament this
The Invercargill-based institute achieved a national profile
through its ''zero fees'' concept and was a growing entity,
along with Queenstown, he said.
Mr English said tertiary education helps ''keep young people
on track'' by producing graduates with the skills employers
want, which will encourage investment in New Zealand,
increase gross domestic product and enable higher incomes,
while reducing the number of people claiming welfare
Institute council deputy chairman Peter Heenan said the block
for up to 54 SIT Queenstown students met their need for
affordable accommodation and signalled the growing popularity
of the resort as a ''full education solution''.

From Our Editors
After years sewing funky, girly clothing for her young daughter, Lisa Jamieson began to sell her creations online, founding the business that would become The Tutu Boutik. Colorful leg warmers, flowered headbands, and the boutique's namesake tutus line shelves and fill racks throughout the boutique's pink and zebra-striped space inside the Boulevard Mall. A licensed cosmetologist, Jamieson also makes over petite patrons' hair, faces, and nails alongside staff in the spa, forgoing techniques such as cuticle trimming that might be unsafe for tiny digits. A make-your-own-lip-gloss station grants visitors the chance to craft their own sparkly solutions, and a pink catwalk mural encourages two-dimensional guests to work the runway.

Last Year's Hugo Award Drama Is Not Going Away Any Time Soon
Today saw the release of this year's Hugo Award nominations, with the big question being whether last year's catastrofuck would be repeated. The answer is both yes and no.
Today saw the release of this year's Hugo Award nominations, with the big question being whether last year's catastrofuck would be repeated. The answer is both yes and no.
The nominees for the 2016 Hugo Awards have been announced, with the ballot to select the winners opening in mid-May, 2016. We'll find out the winners on August 20th.
If you bought a supporting membership to last year's Worldcon in Spokane, have a membership for this year's convention, MidAmeriCon II, or if you are a member of 2017's Worldcon, you can nominate your favorite works for this year's Hugo Awards.
Nominations for science fiction and fantasy's biggest award, the Hugo, are now open! If you had been a member of last year's World Science Fiction Convention or are headed off to this year's MidAmeriCon II or next year's 75th WorldCon, you can cast a ballot.
This has been a tough year. Pop culture let us down in many ways, even as our political system and our social institutions revealed a deeper seam of ugliness. But speculative fiction still offers us hope: not just optimism about human ingenuity, but actual reasons to look forward and keep our heads up.
We all know about the Hugo Award finalists: the tiny handful of stories published every year that voters select above all others. But what about the other books recommended? A new anthology is set to highlight some of the other stories that don't quite make it to the end.
This week's stories are about what happens to humans when they reach out to the stars, and what happens when the stars come crashing into us. But before we get into the stories...
The Hugo Awards are over, and the result was a dramatic rejection of the two "Puppies" campaigns to pack the ballot with a narrow selection of authors. But what does it all mean, and what happens now? Some of science fiction and fantasy's leading lights have been offering their opinions.
Ray Bradbury's FBI file is not newly uncovered—it first appeared online in 2012 at Muckrock—but it's been making the rounds this week. And as Slate's Future Tense points out, it seems particularly timely given all of the debates over politics in science fiction.
Last night, the Hugo Awards were handed out. And the fans rejected the attempt of a small minority to impose its ideology on the nominations via slate-voting. But last night, we also learned which works would have been on the ballot, if the nominations hadn't been rigged.
After months of excitement and a wee bit of drama here and there, they're finally here: the 2015 Hugo Awards! Because this is such a fascinating, unpredictable year, we're going to liveblog the shit out of this one. Join us!
The people who stuffed the ballot at this year's Hugo Awards nominations have made a number of arguments in favor of their actions. We shared some of those with you a while back. But there's one argument that the Hugo saboteurs keep making which seems especially strong—except they already disproved it.
We're now into the mid-1890s, and readers of science fiction at this time will be forgiven for thinking that they're being rewarded for years of patience. The Age of the Storyteller, as Roger Lancelyn Green put it, has not yet reached science fiction—H.G. Wells is so far only publishing short stories—but the number of…
Science fiction books in 1893 are where science fiction film was in 1977. In both cases, the genre was... perhaps "in the doldrums" is too harsh a judgment. Certainly, enough significant work had appeared before 1893 and 1977 that one could, in those years, speak of the science fiction genre, in both media, as a…
Welcome back to the Victorian Hugo Awards, what I hope will be a semi-regular column in which I award honorary Hugo Awards to the best novels and short stories of the Victorian era.
This year's Hugo Awards controversy is confusing. There are two kinds of puppies! Are the puppies against diversity, or literary snobbery? And so on. But really, this is all about books, and particularly what kind of books we're supposed to celebrate. So here are eight books that can help you understand the Hugo mess.
Earlier this year, two campaigns variously made up of traditionalist sci-fi fans, neoreactionaries, Gamergaters and other flavors of angry white dude hijacked the nominations for one of sci-fi's most prestigious awards, the Hugo. Now one of the biggest publishers in sci-fi and fantasy seems to have come out in support…
The controversy over this year's Hugo Awards nominations continues to get messier. Two authors who were nominated for awards after being included on the Sad Puppies voting slate (and the copycat slate, Rabid Puppies) have decided to withdraw from the Hugo ballot.
Last August, the Hugo Awards for science fiction and fantasy were swept by a younger group of women and people of color. At the time, we said "This was really a year that underscored that a younger generation of diverse writers are becoming central to the genre." So maybe it's not surprising that there was an…
Women Destroy the Hugo Awards! How much visibility have women authors received in recent years, versus the past? Livejournal user Kalimac did a statistical analysis of Hugo nominations by gender going back to 1959, and found two spikes — one in the mid-1990s, and one from 2010 onwards.

Michigan, UConn moveon to NCAA's Elite 8
INDIANAPOLIS Jordan Morgan scored 15 points and Nik Stauskas had 14 including a key free throw to help Michigan hold on for a 73-71 victory over Tennessee in Fridays first Midwest Regional semifinal.
The second-seeded Wolverines now play either Louisville, who they lost to in last years national championship game, or 2012 national champion Kentucky Sunday.
The Wolverines (28-8) led by 15 with 10:55 to go, but committed four turnovers in the final 97 seconds. Tennessee (24-13) cut the lead to 72-71 and had a chance to take the lead, but Jarnell Stokes was called for an offensive foul with 6 seconds left.
Stauskas then made 1 of 2 free throws and Tennessees long desperation heave was off the mark.
Jordan McRae scored 24 to lead the 11th-seeded Vols.
Connecticut 81,
Iowa State 76
NEW YORK DeAndre Daniels scored 26 points, 18 in the second half, and UConn held off Iowa State 81-76 on Friday to reach the East Regional final a year after the Huskies were barred from the NCAA tournament.
Daniels hit his first six shots after halftime, the only Husky to make a field goal for over 8 minutes. His 3-pointer gave seventh-seeded UConn a 49-32 lead.
The Cyclones rallied late, pulling within 67-63 with 2 minutes remaining. But senior Niels Giffey hit a 3 in the corner for his first points since the games opening moments, and when the Huskies (29-8) made their free throws in the final minute, the UConn fans packing Madison Square Garden could celebrate.

Thursday, Oct. 1, 2015
3:00 p.m.
Setup for the event takes two days, so we were unable to delay the decision any longer. The decision is based not on the threat of rain, but on the winds predicted for the next several days as well as, at this time, uncertainty about the path of Hurricane Joaquin (which has the potential to affect tent takedown on Monday). About half of Cornucopia's activities and exhibits are housed in tents. The winds predicted for the next few days will make it unsafe and perhaps physically impossible for the vendor to put up the tents and the tents themselves unsafe to be in and around.

After McCarthy assured the panel that she never used her private account improperly to do government business (which, critics fear, might shield said dealings from scrutiny), Sen. David Vitter of Louisiana, the top Republican on the Environment and Public Works Committee, asked her whether the same held true for instant messages.
And that's when she invoked the geezer defense.
"One good thing about being 58 is that I don't even know how to use them," she admitted, to laughs from the audience. "I don't know how. Sorry. You've got to admit it."

Maria, 7, and Lupe, 3, are our next-door neighbors. For some reason, they have decided they like coming to our house. I'm not exactly sure why, we have nothing that I would consider appealing to a 3- and 7-year-old, but they come ... almost daily. Because of this, and our history with their family over the past few years, we have gotten to know their story quite intimately.
As some of you may know, I served on President Obama's Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships for year one of his administration. Our one-year term is almost up, and yesterday we issued our final report to key members of the administration.
