Commitment to disaster-related school curricula increases in Nepal, says UNESCO/UNICEF study
Interesting findings on how Nepal includes disaster risk reduction (DRR) into its education system and curricula can be found in a comprehensive study on " Disaster Risk Reduction in School Curricula " that was recently released by UNESCO and UNICEF.
The report says that the Nepal experience highlights the question of whether primary textbook-driven curriculum development can meet the skills and dispositional learning outcome ambitions of DRR Education.
According to the report, Nepal's experience also raises important questions about centrally driven DRR curriculum development in a national context composed of diverse and proudly local communities often facing their own particular mix of natural hazards.
The study undertaken by David Selby and Fumiyo Kagawa of Sustainability Frontiers, and international partnership that specializes in education reform, maps 30 countries that have included elements of disaster risk reduction into their education systems and curricula. The report captures national experiences whilst nothing key challenges in countries where DRR is less prioritized or where specific teacher training does not exist. Nepal is one of the countries in the report.
In 2011 alone, 302 hazards resulted in disasters that claimed almost 30,000 lives, affected 206 million people and inflicted damages world an estimated USD366 billion, according to the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. These figures are likely to increase unless populations improve their capacity to anticipate, prepare and become more resilient to such events.
In response to this need, and convinced that the best place to start in the classroom well before disaster strikes, UNESCO and UNICEF have published a comprehensive study called Disaster Risk Reduction in School Curricula.
Qian Tang, the UNESCO Assistant Director-General of Education, explains, "By placing Education and Disaster Risk Reduction at the heart of the sustainable development agenda we are offering future generations the chance to thrive."
"We hope that this publication and the subsequent technical guidance for education planners that UNICEF and UNESCO are developing will provide support to all countries in the process of integrating disaster risk reduction into their curricula," said Geeta Rao Gupta, Deputy Executive Director of UNICEF.

A core committee of eight has been meeting monthly for more than two years to plan a year's worth of free activities.
"The centennial gives the city an opportunity to remember our history while celebrating our community and creating a legacy for tomorrow," said member Roger Shepherd in an email. "The committee planned events to honor the past through fun and educational activities while capturing the images and stories of yesterday."
The official three-day birthday party will begin in Tanner Park on Aug. 15 – exactly 100 years after the incorporation of the town sites of Bolton, Sunset City, West Oregon City and Willamette Heights was made official by Clackamas County.
But the celebration will kick off Sunday with the Centennial Heritage Series -- a monthly discussion about different aspects of West Linn history.
Historian and author Sandy Carter will present "The Willamette River, Locks and Floods" at 3 p.m. at the West Linn Adult Community Center, 1180 Rosemont Road.
"I'm looking forward to sharing some information about our amazing river and its historic canal," Carter said in an email. "And, with any luck, may be able to get our community center audience members to do some centennial sharing about their experiences."
Heritage presentations also include:
- Feb. 10: "Journey through Time on the River of Life -- The Story of the Willamette River" by Jerry Herrmann
- March 10: "Robert Moore and the Founding of Linn City" by Larry McIntyre
- April 14: "Electricity Generation at the Willamette River Falls and the Founding of Portland General Electric" by Sherri Burch
A Centennial Heritage Walk series will enable folks to engage in history discussions as they explore different parts of West Linn. The hikes begin at 9 a.m. at the following sites:
- Feb. 2: Willamette Elementary School, 1403 12th St.
- March 2: Sunset Elementary School, 2351 Oxford St.
- April 6: Bolton Elementary School, 5933 Holmes St.
The planning committee is encouraging service clubs, friend groups, neighborhood associations, youth groups, schools, churches, clubs, businesses and other organizations to create displays that tell about their history in West Linn.
The table-top exhibits, collages, posters, photo albums, videos and other memorabilia displays will be included in a traveling centennial museum that will be featured at the old-time fair, the street dance and the lock fest, as well as art festivals, farmers markets, concerts and other community events.
These groups are also invited to incorporate the centennial theme into their annual events and/or to create new events to add to the 2013 celebration calendar.
The McLean House, 5350 River St., will do its part by hosting a Century Garden Event on April 27.
And John Klatt of Old Oregon Photos volunteered to work on the centennial calendar, city website and the quilt design. He also agreed to produce a photo exhibit for a February run at the West Linn Public Library.
"It is one of the library's contributions to the centennial celebration," said Klatt, who is printing, matting, writing captions for, and framing about 25 photos with the theme "West Bank Images, Early Views of West Linn."
You are also invited to share your stories and pictures (up to the year 1970) of West Linn families, buildings, streets and landmarks.
For volunteer opportunities and event details, visit www.wl100.org or contact Shepherd at 503-557-8905.

SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said Wednesday at the opening of SEC Media Days in Hoover that a new NCAA model must be considered in dealing with agents, including the possibility of allowing college athletes to have agents under certain conditions.
"I think you have to sit down with a clean slate and you put every issue on the table," Slive said. "I think there are ways to think about that (players having agents), within a certain parameter and certain context. I'm not saying yes or no. But if you're going to have the right kind of review, that issue has to be on the table."
Slive's comments came amid recent news that three SEC schools -- Alabama, Florida and South Carolina -- are being investigated due to alleged benefits college football players at their schools received from agents.
"When there are rules in place, student-athletes should be held accountable. I am not talking about excusing behavior that violates rules," Slive said. "This is an effort to look at an issue that needs to be looked at."
Slive said the goal of a national review should be providing athletes with the appropriate information about turning pro. "I think it's too difficult for our kids to get the kind of information they really need to make the proper assessment for their chosen profession," he said.
Slive said the recent rash of SEC investigations is an amateurism issue, not a compliance issue.
"My point is this isn't done at Main Street at noon with a compliance officer sitting there," Slive said. "Our schools work very hard. We've talked about this issue over and over. We've brought experts in. Our schools do everything they can to educate student-athletes about what they should and shouldn't do."
Slive said the NCAA has already formed a committee to deal with the agent issue. "Now the question is who's going to comprise that committee, and are people willing to sit down and talk outside the box at every single aspect of these issues?" said Slive, who welcomes discussions with professional leagues about agents.

Enhanced college readiness and success by Rio Grande Valley students is the goal of a new partnership agreement announced Jan. 22 between The University of Texas-Pan American and the South Texas Independent School District (STISD).
The partnership, titled "Pathways to Success," will provide new programs at the district's four high school campuses designed to ease the transition to and support the success of STISD students in postsecondary education. STISD high schools include South Texas Business, Education and Technology Academy (BETA) in Edinburg, South Texas High School for Health Professions (Med High) and Science Academy of South Texas, both in Mercedes, and South Texas Academy of Medical Technology (Med Tech) in San Benito.
Dr. John Edwards, UTPA vice president for Enrollment and Student Services described the agreement to signing ceremony attendees as historic.
"I know of no other University/school district agreement like this one which provides three avenues or pathways to prepare different cohorts of students for enhanced success at the University," he said. "This University, under both Dr. (Miguel) Nevárez and Dr. (Blandina) Cárdenas, has effectively worked for many years to improve access to higher education but just as important we have promoted in the Valley factors for success because access to higher education without a good chance at success is no bargain."
Pathways to Success also creates a "South Texas Scholars Program," which will enable high achieving students who have completed their sophomore year in high school and are in the top 25 percent of their class or have a 22+ ACT score or have a 90+ GPA to enroll both in Dual Credit classes at the high schools as well as in Concurrent Enrollment classes on the University campus or via interactive video. Students who complete the required 12 hours of Concurrent Enrollment courses would be eligible to apply to become University Scholars at UTPA and receive a $3,000 a year scholarship.
Edwards said because of the partnerships and programs established over the years by UTPA with Valley schools, students are entering the University more prepared and pursuing not only baccalaureate degrees but are also going on to graduate school to earn master's and doctoral degrees.
"That will impact our Valley in ways that will be difficult for us today to see," he said.
University administrators said they approached the STISD for this collaboration because of its long track record of providing its students excellent preparation for college. STISD high schools consistently rank in the top tier of high schools in the state and nationally. The agreement states UTPA faculty will meet and work with selected STISD teachers who will be hired to provide developmental instruction or as adjunct professors to teach Dual Credit courses on the high school campuses. The initial goal is to start the programs in summer 2009.
"The STISD has a pool of very talented educators who will work with our faculty to put together these programs for the benefit of our students in the Valley. We hope to see increased collaboration on research and increased collaboration on innovative teaching technologies. I think what you will see through this partnership is not just three programs but the enhancement of the opportunities and the access for our students," said Dr. Paul Sale, UTPA provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.
Dr. Marla Guerra, a UTPA alumna and STISD superintendent, said the district is excited about this first "official" partnership with UTPA and for the district's teachers to have the opportunity to plan and collaborate with University faculty to make sure their students are prepared to perform successfully at the university level and to graduate.
"Our ultimate goal is that they come back to the Valley and stay here and give back to the community to make the Valley a better place to live and work," she said.
Presiding over her last signing ceremony as UTPA president before her retirement on Jan. 30, Dr. Blandina Cárdenas said the partnership reflects the great commitment that Valley educators, educational institutions, and districts now have to high quality postsecondary education for its students.
"Over the course of some years we have raised the bar, raised our vision to the notion that it is not about graduating kids from high school but it is about graduating our young people from college and beyond," she said. "The most important thing a leader does is to reshape the belief of what is possible. Once you believe something is possible, you begin to act upon it. I'm delighted to be here today to celebrate our belief that anything is possible. Don't let anyone ever tell you anything else."

J. Grindlay, P. Zhao, J. Hong, D. Kim, S. Laycock, P. Edmonds, E. Schlegel (CfA), H. Cohn, P. Lugger, A. Rogel (Indiana Univ.)
We report initial results from the first 26 fields surveyed in the first two years of our ongoing deep galactic plane survey with Chandra. The Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) survey of the galactic plane will survey some ~100 ACIS fields over 5 years, selected for exposure at least ~20ksec, galactic latitude b \lesssim12deg, and minimum column density NH, with a primary goal to measure or constrain the poorly known accretion source content of the Galaxy. The most common such systems, cataclysmic variables, have space densities still uncertain by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Unambiguous optical identifications of ChaMPlane sources are being obtained for a significant fraction from deep R and H\alpha (and V,I) imaging with the MOSAIC cameras on the CTIO and KPNO 4m telescopes under the NOAO Long Term Surveys Program, and followup spectroscopy is being conducted with WIYN/HYDRA and Magellan/LDSS2. We find that most Chandra sources in the anti-center galactic plane are a mixture of background AGN and stellar coronal sources, with logN-logS source counts in fact consistent with AGN dominating this faint source sample. However, in the galactic bulge (l < 5-10deg), a significant excess of faint sources is seen: at x-ray flux values Fx(2-8 keV) ~1 x 10-14 erg-cm-2-s-1, the excess above the extragalactic source counts is at least a factor of 5. These (relatively) hard sources are unlikely to be normal stars, and instead an enhanced population of CVs and compact binaries in the galactic bulge is likely. Probable optical counterparts (to R ~ 24) and spectroscopic identifications (to R ~22) are presented for some sources in several example bulge fields (and see paper by Zhao et al) but are limited by reddening. We describe several models, and future tests with the ongoing survey (and its resulting optical and x-ray databases), to determine the nature of this new component of the galactic x-ray source population. The ChaMPlane x-ray and optical surveys are supported by NASA/Chandra grant AR2-3002A and NSF grant AST-0098683, respectively.

Questions about the Tigers
February 1, 2012 - Burt Angeli
Bill Madden of the New York Daily News has some doubts about the Detroit Tigers even with a power-packed lineup and top-notch pitching.
"Before we anoint the Tigers as the American League's representative in the 2012 World Series, there are matters to consider," Madden wrote. "With equally girthy and immobile Miguel Cabrera slated to move to third base (where he hasn't played since 2007) to make room for Prince Fielder (whose 15 errors were the most of any first baseman in baseball last year) the Tiger infield — which also includes range-challenged Jhonny Peralta at short — has the potential to be one of the most porous in the history of baseball, offsetting the Tigers' biggest strength, their pitching.
Then there's the matter of the leadoff spot where Austin Jackson struck out 181 times last year, dropped 44 points off his batting average from the year before and had an on-base percentage of just .317.
You could make the case that, even with the Victor Martinez injury, a leadoff hitter was a bigger need for the Tigers, who still lack an adequate table-setter for their two middle-of-the-order thumpers.

As our regular readers know, a Toronto couple made headlines around the world after announcing last month that they would raise their baby, Storm, without letting anyone know the child's gender. Then yesterday, Meredith noted that a public school in Sweden has instructed children not to utter the words him, her, he, she, girl or boy. (That's han, hon, honom, henne, pojke and flicka, if the online translator is to be believed.) "The move is being made in an attempt to eliminate gender bias," Meredith writes. Gender bias may be a problem, but pronouns aren't.
Meredith believes "there's a difference between gender equality and gender neutrality," and I totally agree. Here are five reasons why I think this gender-neutral trend is a bunch of crap:
Some Girls Actually Like Pink 1 of 5Sure, I think we're all a little tired of the old "blue for boys, pink for girls" standard of dress and room decor, and I'm with Peggy Orenstein when it comes to the proliferation of all things pink and princess for girls, but offering our children only green clothes and gender-neutral toys robs those who might be "girly girls" or "boys' boys" the opportunity to geek out on stuff they like. I don't care if your son wants to wear nail polish, but don't make him wear it if he doesn't want to in an effort to get him in touch with his feminine side. Why do we have to strip children of pronouns just to make it okay for them to like a variety of clothing and toys? Photo via Flickr
Avoiding Pronouns Doesn't Erase a Child's Sex 2 of 5I don't want to live in a world where boys and girls can't be whoever or whatever they want, either, but I don't think stripping away pronouns is going to do anything to change that. Instead of trying to deny the fact that we're boys and girls, men and women, let's just continue to open up our definitions of what it means to be "male" and "female." I don't deny that there are some "third-gendered" people out there, but I also think it's important for people to be able to enjoy identifying as a man or a woman... or both, if that's how you want it. But let's not be nothing. Photo via Flickr
Saying Someone's Name Over and Over is Really Tiresome 3 of 5"How's Emma?," a friend would ask. No, not Emma. Emma is too feminine. And even gender-neutral names like Pat are too male/female, so Gender-Neutral Parents will start naming their kids things like Glork. "How's Glork?," your friend asks. "Oh, Glork is good," you'll reply. "Glork had a rash yesterday so Glork wasn't feeling well, but now Glork is back in school. Glork has a soccer match this afternoon, and I can't wait to go and see Glork score!" Barf. (That's Glork's best friend. Barf's name is Barf.) Photo via Flickr
Androgyny Isn't That Popular 4 of 5Though maybe it would be if people didn't feel a need to conform to gender stereotypes, I don't know. (I did sort of look like this kid when I was 12, but I wasn't happy about it.) Most people who transition from one gender to the next do exactly that, they don't live somewhere in between. Yes, there are men who like dresses and women who prefer menswear. If your child feels genderqueer, he or she will tell you when he or she figures it out. I know what it feels like to be a little girl with short hair, and how embarrassed I was when people would say, "Your son is so cute!" If your girl wants short hair and your son wants long hair, that's fine. But if you've never let him have short hair, how do you know that's what he really wants? Photo via Flickr.
What About Bonding With Your Gender? 5 of 5Male bonding. Female bonding. Who will you go to the game with/watch Sex and the City with if we live in a gender-neutral world? Of course women are welcome at the game and men are welcome on the couch when Carrie's on TV, but would we be robbing ourselves of the bond we feel with our brothers and sisters in a gender-neutral world? What about sports? Should all teams be co-ed? Photo via Flickr
I don't have a problem with men doing traditionally female things or women doing traditionally male things, but I think to pretend like we're not of different genders is silly. Men and women have a lot in common, and our own unique strengths that should be celebrated. What's your take on gender neutrality?

Set Visit: Enter the mythical land of Sam Raimi's 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I've heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream,
Really do come true.
As it so happens, the mythical Land of Oz is located on a soundstage in Michigan - and James Franco's fly is down.
"I love the shabby-chic of the clothing when you see it up close," says a fellow journalist in reference to Franco's costume. "Because we've been watching from afar, and you look very put together and perfect. Here it's all lose threads and slightly visible insides...one of your fly buttons is undone. I mean is that kind of shabby-grunge what you're shooting for?"
"You could've said it a little more discreet," growls the actor in annoyance as he zips himself up.
Answers the reporter: "I really thought you were doing that deliberately."
"No," says Franco, shaking it off. The Wizard is a little surly today.
The massive soundstage we find ourselves on houses one of the spectacular sets for Walt Disney Studios' "Oz the Great and Powerful," director Sam Raimi's prequel to Victor Fleming (and, to a lesser extent, King Vidor's) 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz." Franco is seated on a metal folding chair in a small half-circle of reporters, myself included. There's the sense that he's been dragged here to speak with us against his better judgment, though that's merely an observation on my part; in no way do I presume to understand the complex web that makes up the brain of an Oscar-nominated actor.
"In the beginning, he's not the most successful magician," offers Franco, who plays a younger version of the '39 film's titular eccentric. "So these are the clothes from Kansas, and it's a way to set up his attraction to wealth, but really kind of a drive to pull himself out of the poverty of his early life. I guess the story is he grew up on a farm too, and his father struggled to make ends meet. So Oz's life is -- at least in the beginning -- motivated by a need to better his economic standpoint."
The setup is this: Small-time traveling magician/conman Oscar Diggs (Franco) is transported from Kansas to the enchanting fairytale land of Oz. Captivated by the strange new world, Oscar's newfound enthusiasm is curtailed by witches Glinda (Michelle Williams), Theodora (Mila Kunis) and Evanora (Rachel Weisz), none of whom are convinced he is the great wizard the inhabitants of Oz believe him to be. It isn't long before he discovers that this spellbinding fantasy world is far from the paradise he had imagined.
It's no secret that Raimi's first choice for the role wasn't Franco but rather "Iron Man" star Robert Downey Jr., though in the end unspecified roadblocks prevented the deal from materializing.
"He was signed on I think," says Franco when asked. "Sam said he gave him a plant at the first meeting, and when he went for the second meeting, he saw that the plant had been put aside and it was dead already and that was a bad omen."
Following that, Disney entered discussions with "Pirates of the Caribbean" star Johnny Depp to assume the role, but those talks also fell through. That left room for Franco, who'd previously established a relationship with Raimi while working on the first three "Spider-Man" films, to board the project.
"It was a pretty easy decision [to sign on]," says Franco. "Downey Jr. had fallen out -- I'm not sure why -- and then they were talking to Johnny Depp and he didn't end up doing it. So then I had a meeting with Sam, and I read the script and briefly talked about it. I don't know, it was just kind of an understanding that we both liked the approach that there was one aspect of it that would pay tribute to the collective sense of 'Oz' but there would be a fresh take."
Though the '39 film is now far better known than its source material - Frank L. Baum's 1900 novel "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" - Franco, an actor who's become known for touting his familiarity with classic works of literature, assures of his love not only for Baum's inaugural "Oz" tome but its numerous follow-ups.
"I actually was a fairly big reader when I was younger, and I think the first books I read on my own were The Baum 'Oz' books, the fourteen or fifteen that he wrote," he says. "So like a lot of movies that I've done, it's really satisfying to step into this world, because it's material that I was fascinated by when I was younger. In a similar way with Ginsberg, when I was a little older I read him, and then got to play Ginsberg [in Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's experimental 2010 biopic 'Howl']. This is kind of a similar experience."
Somewhat to his credit, Franco seemed unwilling to fake an attitude of good cheer or amiability for the benefit of his interviewers during our very brief 7-minute conversation with him. Throughout, a very dense hardbound book of his sat idly by like a blunt-force weapon.

Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 Micro 4/3 Digital Camera True-to-life detail through excellent resolution. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 has been engineered to incorporate a 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor a 4-CPU Venus Engine and a newly designed low-pass filter. The creative expression made possible by these innovations which render even the finest textures in intricate detail breaking new ground in photographic realism. This model also features Contrast AF with a high level of response. And its magnesium alloy frame is tightly sealed to resist splashes and dust making the DMC-GH3 rugged enough to withstand the rigors of professional use. Advances have been made in video performance as well. In addition to supporting a wide range of recording formats the DMC-GH3 features a special heat-dispersing design for extended high-quality recording. Its specifications match those of many professional cameras ensuring that it meets the demands of video field work. Key Features: 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor The DMC-GH3 features a 16.05-megapixel Digital Live MOS Sensor with a level of sensitivity that produces flowing gradation from shadows to highlights. High resolution and a wide dynamic range create truly stunning images that look like you could reach out and touch them. High-sensitivity ISO 12800 (extended: ISO 25600) and extensive noise reduction give you remarkable images even in dim lighting. Venus Engine The Venus Engine has an unprecedented ability to process both still and video signals with razor-sharp clarity. 3D Noise Reduction (3DNR) and Multiprocess Noise Reduction (MNR) work together to attain superb noise-reducing performance. Four CPUs process these signals instantly to render images with excellent definition and lifelike ambience. Low-Pass Filter New technology has also been applied to the low-pass filter on the surface of the Digital Live MOS Sensor. The new filter optimizes the conventionally conflicting effects of increasing resolution while suppressing moire. The unwanted data that leads to moire and false color is reduced while maintaining high resolution. Electronic Shutter Function Both the front and rear curtains in the DMC-GH3s shutter system are driven electronically for reduced vibration operation. This ensures crisp still-life images and landscapes by limiting pixel shifting. Double OLED Display High-quality high-speed organic EL displays are used for both the Live View Finder and the rear monitor. These rapid displays which feature 100% coverage exhibit virtually no perceptible time lag and ensure that your subject is shown with natural coloring. The Eye Sensor automatically switches between the Live View Finder and the rear monitor for smooth easy shooting with both. HDR (High Dynamic Range) To cope with the extreme bright and dark contrast that you get for example with backlighting consecutive photos are taken with different exposure levels and overlapped. Blown highlights and blocked shadows are then deleted and a single photo is composed. All processing is done in the background so you can take your next shot without having to wait ensuring that you dont miss a photo opportunity. Contrast AF In the DMC-GH3s Contrast AF system the image sensor doubles as the AF sensor to resist any mechanical margin of error. Compared with Phase Difference AF the focusing is precise even at small F-numbers. A faster sensor and engine also achieve a higher focus detection speed than most traditional DSLR models. Full-area Focusing With Full-area Focusing any place you touch on the rear monitor is a focus point. Theres no need to have your subject in the center of the frame. DMC-GH3 owners are released from focus point limitations and free to frame their shots as they please. Pinpoint AF Pinpoint AF is handy when you want to set the focus point more precisely. Simply touch the rear monitor to expand the surrounding area. Then drag the screen to move the cross-shaped marker in the center to the exact place you want to focus. This allows detailed adjustment in a small focus area. Level Gauge Acceleration sensors inside the camera detect the horizontal condition. A level gauge indicating the two directions of horizontal lean and front/rear tilt is displayed. The cameras portrait/landscape orientation is also detected and photos are automatically displayed in the correct orientation whatever lens is used. MF Assist When manually focusing simply touch a part of the rear monitor to enlarge the image by 4x 5x or 10x to aid in focusing. The 4x enlarged image is displayed in the framing screen so you can focus while viewing the entire composition. Button Layout Shooting with the viewfinder has been further enhanced in the DMC-GH3. Exposure compensation ISO sensitivity and white balance controls are positioned around the shutter button to make operation fast and easy while looking at the viewfinder. Tough Battery The newly developed battery allows reliable extended shooting of both photos and videos up to approx. 540 images. Field Tough Lightweight and rugged for field use Magnesium Alloy Full Diecast Frame The DMC-GH3 is the first in the LUMIX G series to use a magnesium alloy frame. Its lightweight yet durable body brings ruggedness to the compact size of the digital single lens mirrorless camera to provide flexible shooting virtually anywhere. Splash/Dustproof Design A splash/dustproof design is achieved by tightly sealing the joints and control components of the DMC-GH3 body. This heavy-duty design meets the needs of active and outdoor photographers. SSWF (Super Sonic Wave Filter) To reduce to visual impact of dust and other foreign matter that might otherwise enter the camera when changing lenses SSWF (Super Sonic Wave Filter) that vibrates approximately 80 000 times/second is mounted between the low-pass filter and the shutter. Each time the power is turned on the filter oscillates the sensor surface to automatically remove dust and other particles. Full-HD Progressive The DMC-GH3 gives you 1920 x 1080 60p Full-HD recording. Progressive scanning records every frame so the amount of data contained is twice that of interlace scanning and the images have extremely high definition. Versatile AF Functions for Video Shooting Face Detection AF Full-area Touch AF and AF Tracking which automatically tracks moving subjects can be used for shooting videos just as they are for shooting still images. They bring the same great ease and comfort to your video work. Creative Video Mode Exposure Mode Select either of four manual video modes: Program AE / Aperture-Priority / Shutter-Priority / Manual Exposure. They will faithfully reflect your shooting intent and give you a wide range of video images. 40% 48% 80% Slow Motion Video Quick-motion and slow-motion video let you apply a variety of effects to the video timeline. In addition to three types of quickmotion and 80% slow-motion video the DMC-GH3 includes 48% and 40% slow-motion in response to demands from many video shooting enthusiasts all in Full-HD. Time codes recorded for video editing use Time codes are essential for video editing as they provide the information needed to specify scenes along the video timeline. The DMC-GH3 includes a count-up system with Rec Run and Free Run codes and a recording system with Drop Frame and Non Drop Frame codes. In addition to aiding image expression these time code functions meet professional needs for post-production work. Continuous Recording When recording the video in MOV AVCHD Progressive and AVCHD the DMC-GH3 automatically generates multiple seamless files for continuous recording. During playback the files are reproduced with seamless interruption-free continuity. Original Heat-Dispersing Design Right from the design stage the DMC-GH3 pursued a hybrid structure for still and video images. A heat-dispersing design was used to enhance video shooting and enable extended recording of high-quality images. Ve

Who works for who? I'm sick and tired of these politicians being greedy! This must stop. They sound like they are there for you, but they are all actors. Years ago, the politicians worked for the people. Today, it is the people working for them.
How dare the Jersey City City Council vote on an 11.25 percent increase in the municipal tax, with the exception of honest Ward E councilman Steve Fulop! Here you have people losing their homes because their mortgage payments are too high due to the bad economic times, and the council wants to raise our taxes. What a disgrace!
Years ago, if our taxes went up, they only went up 1.25 percent or 3.25 percent. Today, you have all the development going on and conversions from rentals to condos, and then you have these out-of-town developers asking for a tax abatements and these politicians granting it to them.
Let's tell the city government to stay out of our pockets. Stop taking and start developing for the average working person that is making $12,000 a year and that holds one job, not a double dipper.

Abstract: The distorted octahedral title complex, [VV(C3H7O)(C3H8O)2F2O], was synthesized via ligand exchange at [VVO(OiPr)3] with aqueous hydrogen fluoride in propan-2-ol and crystallized from (D)chloroform at 238 K after a few weeks. Crystal structure determination shows two C1-symmetric moieties to be present in the asymmetric unit, forming infinite chains along [100] via hydrogen bonds. The compound provides the first crystal structure containing the [VF2O(OiPr)] motif.

Ooooh Cosplay Heroes Unmasked
Cosplayers in the U.S. may not know about the show 'Cosplay Heroes Unmasked', since it's being shown on the Animax cable channel, which isn't broadcast stateside. But this is a great opportunity to see what's happening in the international cosplay scene.
So first, a bit about Animax: Wikipedia explains in detail that it's a Japanese anime satellite television network, dedicated to broadcasting anime programming. Operating across Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Latin America and most recently in Europe, Africa and Australia, Animax is the first and largest 24-hour network dedicated to anime in the world, with a viewer reach of over 89 million households, 62 countries and more than 17 languages.
This month, as you can see in the video clip above, they're featuring 'Cosplay Heroes Unmasked' - "a close look at the phenomenon of cosplay in south east Asia. Animax goes behind the scenes of a regional cosplay competition to look at the lives and passions of young cosplayers who pursue their hobby relentlessly. The world renowned Japanese cosplayer, KANAME* is the principal narrator throughout, who analyzes, comments and demystifies the world of cosplay, which goes much beyond just the theatricality. To become the fictional persona, the cosplayers must learn the nuances of costume design, makeup, voice modulation and acting. This colorful art is a means to bring passionate youths closer to one another, and their very own passport to the fantastical world of anime and manga."
It also features the well-known Alodia as well as cosplayers who attended Anime Festival Asia 2009 in Singapore. Check out the AFA'09 webpage - it's so lively it might just make your head explode. If it doesn't, you might want to plan a trip to Singapore for AFA'10 - you can follow their progress on Facebook and Twitter.

In what was a truly dramatic game, Shakhriyar Mamedyarov defeated Sergey Karjakin on Wednesday to join his opponent in the lead at the FIDE Grand Prix in Beijing. Alexander Grischuk, who drew with Black against Veselin Topalov, is the third player at the top of the leaderboard. There were two other decisive games this round: Wang Yue beat Wang Hao and Alexander Morozevich won against Gata Kamsky, who is having a disastrous tournament with a 1.0/6 score.
Like anyone else, (top) professionals hate losing. That's a fact. But you can imagine that a loss with White against the Petroff must feel even worse! Karjakin's kingside expansion with h3 and g4 was known, but at the press conference Mamedyarov said he didn't like it. Black was soon better and remained a pawn up in an ending. It was extremely difficult to win but of course Mamedyarov tried and tried, until he reached a winning position. With little time on the clock he then missed a killing check (74... Qf2+! 75. Kb3 Qb6+! or 75. Ka3 Qa7+!) and instead went for a queen ending that is a draw according to the tablebase. Karjakin defended flawlessly, until move 91...
This result meant that Grischuk could have taken the sole lead, but instead he's now shared first with Karjakin and Mamedyarov after a draw with Topalov. There was never any hope for more, as the Bulgarian went for a slightly better rook ending that appeared almost by force from Grischuk's Berlin.
Gelfand and Leko also reached an ending basically right out of the opening, although this one was a bit more interesting. White played a temporary pawn sac to activate his rook, but it was not enough to create serious winning chances.
Morozevich moved up to a "plus one" score by beating Kamsky in a Grünfeld. The Russian was ready to fight, as he castled queenside and later avoided a move repetition. Kamsky has five more rounds to do some damage control.
Vassily Ivanchuk outplayed Anish Giri in a Closed Ruy Lopez and won a healthy pawn. The Ukrainian then started pushing his f-pawn, which eventually took on g2 from where it was protected by a beautiful bishop on d5. However, by controlling the dark squares Giri could avoid getting mated.
Wang Hao is the highest rated Chinese player, but it was Wang Yue (third on the Chinese rating list, behind Ding Liren) who won the all-Chinese encounter. It was quite a good game in fact where White's knight played a leading role; just wonderful how it's jumping all the time!
The 5th Grand Prix takes place 4-16 July, 2013 in Beijing, China. The games start 15:00 CST (09:00 CET, 03:00 EDT); the final round starts two hours earlier. Tournament website: http://beijing2013.fide.com. Photos by Anastasiya Karlovich courtesy of FIDE. Games via TWIC.
Go Wang Yue!
Anish Giri may improve his results if he spends more time staring at the board.
how nice.. i want 2 join them ^_^
Becauase the game was over. Just check a few lines with engines.
Ng5 will win the e6 pawn and I assume that's enough for these guys.
Morozevich is 2/2 with the Russian system of the Grunfeld here in Beijing, cool!

- Title
- Of tidy gardens and clean houses: housing officers as agents of social control
- Author(s)
- Saugeres, Lise
- Abstract
- This paper seeks to contribute to the theme of institutional geographies by exploring how the prevailing socio-spatial order is recreated and legitimated in the ways in which public rented housing is managed and delivered by housing associations and local authorities in the UK. The public rented sector has been increasingly catering for the most vulnerable sections of the population who are dependent on state benefits and cannot afford any other form of housing. As a result, housing staffs have found themselves having to take on a welfare role which entails controlling and policing social tenants who are seen to be causing disorder in society. This paper shows how a dominant housing management discourse reproduced by policies and staff at both front-line and management levels is that of an emerging 'underclass' promoted by right wing politicians and the media since the 1980s. According to dominant housing management discourse the members of this underclass are disrupting traditional patriarchal and capitalist institutions and values. Tenants' houses and gardens not conforming to culturally and socially acceptable standards of cleanliness and tidiness symbolises tenants' lack of conformity to the prevailing institutional order. Drawing on in-depth interviews with housing officers and managers, and observations of interviews between staff and tenants in six housing organisations, this paper analyses the ways in which housing organisations seek to control social tenants through the imposition of certain norms of cleanliness over their houses and gardens.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- English import Darren Huckerby scored his first career Major League Soccer goal for the San Jose, but an earlier own goal by Earthquakes defender Eric Denton allowed the Red Bulls to play to a 1-1 draw Sunday.
The tie extended the winless streaks of the two last-place teams.
San Jose (3-9-6), which dominated play for much of the day and outshot the Red Bulls 13-8, has not won in eight consecutive matches. The Red Bulls (5-6-7) haven't won in their last five tries.
The Red Bulls took the lead in the fourth minute thanks to a blunder by the Earthquakes' defense. Denton, under pressure from Red Bulls midfielder Seth Stammler, tried to neutralize a long cross from the left wing by the Red Bulls' Dave van den Bergh with a header back to goalkeeper Joe Cannon.
Denton's header was too strong, however, and drifted over Cannon's outstretched left hand for San Jose's second own goal of the season.
Huckerby and fellow forward Scott Sealy, acquired earlier this month by a goal-starved San Jose team that had scored a league-low 11 times in 17 games, both made their home debuts Sunday.
Sealy's 13th-minute shot forced a diving right-handed save by Red Bulls goalkeeper Jon Conway. Huckerby, 32, a veteran of the English Premier League, pounded home the free rebound from close range.
Huckerby just missed doubling that total in the 36th minute when his left-footed shot across the goalmouth went just wide. A deflected Earthquakes cross off the foot of Red Bulls defender Kevin Goldthwaite forced an alert save from Conway in the 73rd minute.
The Red Bulls' best chance to score on their own came in the 70th minute, when Jorge Rojas found John Wolyniec with a low cross just in front of the goal, but San Jose captain Nick Garcia snuffed out the threat.

BOSTON – Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray said Friday there that was nothing unusual about the dozens of phone conversations he reportedly had with former Chelsea Housing Authority executive director Michael McLaughlin, who resigned this month after the disclosure that he was earning a $360,000 a year salary.
"I was misled, as were lots of other people, organizations and agencies," Murray said during an impromptu meeting with reporters at the Statehouse. "As soon as we got the full story of it, this administration took quick action."
At Murray's side was Gov. Deval L. Patrick, who denounced the "insinuation" that his lieutenant governor may have done something wrong.
The Boston Globe, which said it examined McLaughlin's cellphone records, reported Friday that McLaughlin and Murray called each other more than 80 times over the last seven months and spoke within hours after the newspaper began questioning the housing director about the hefty salary.
Murray acknowledged that McLaughlin, who headed the agency for more than a decade and resigned Nov. 2 after Patrick expressed outrage over the salary, was a political supporter. But he insisted that he was unaware of the compensation and that the calls were part of his normal working relationship with local officials in the state.
"I make dozens of phone calls on a day-to-day basis with lots of officials across the state, including Mr. McLaughlin, he said.
"It's outrageous, he's wrong, he misled me, he misled other people and I'm disappointed, I'm frustrated and I'm angry," Murray added.
Patrick defended Murray.
"What I don't like and what I don't appreciate is insinuation when there is nothing," Patrick said.
There was "nothing that would indicate there was anything inappropriate about those phone calls. I do not believe in guilt by association," the governor added.
Patrick called Murray a "fabulous" lieutenant governor and said he was proud to serve with him.
The Globe has reported that the Chelsea Housing Authority sharply underreported in state filings McLaughlin's $360,000 salary, which apparently made him one of the highest paid public housing officials in the country.
McLaughlin told the newspaper following his resignation that he "more than earned" the salary he was paid.
McLaughlin could not be reached for comment Friday and his attorney, Thomas Hoopes, declined to comment on the case.
Shortly after resigning from the authority, McLaughlin had checks written to him for more than $200,000 that he said were for unused sick time, vacation and personal days. State officials urged the five-member board that oversees the authority to immediately stop payment on the checks pending an investigation.
Patrick temporarily froze state funding to the agency and announced earlier this week that he planned to ask the state's highest court to appoint an independent receiver to run the authority.
Asked by reporters if he was troubled by the volume of calls between Murray and McLaughlin, Patrick responded: "You know how much phone tag we play around here?
Murray said Friday he and McLaughlin spoke about housing issues from time to time but offered no other specifics about their conversations.
He also acknowledged Friday that he referred an application from McLaughlin's son, Matthew, for a position on a state board that hears appeals of motor vehicle license suspensions, but said never recommended to anyone that the younger McLaughlin be hired.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Pigs won't necessarily fly on March 31, but the Mobile Symphony Orchestra will give listeners a symphonic take on Pink Floyd.
While the show will be a departure for the MSO, it's not unprecedented: It's developed by Windborne Productions, the same company that was behind a successful Led Zeppelin concert that the symphony presented last spring.
Like that concert, it will feature composer/conductor Brent Havens, lead singer Randy Jackson, and an actual rock band working in conjunction with the MSO. But easy comparisons end there.
Jackson, for example, was quick to dispute the generalization that Pink Floyd songs feature a stronger sense of emotional intimacy. Zeppelin's quieter songs, such as "Thank You" and "The Rain Song" call upon him to achieve plenty of emotional openness.
"I think in general, Floyd is much more serious with their lyrics," he said. "They were very much more political and attuned to that, where I think Zeppelin was a little more spiritual. You know, very vaguely spiritual. But both bands had serious lyrics."
Then again, there's "Money," a track which he thinks shows a lighter shade of Pink. "They're not so serious about stuff, it's kind of tongue in cheek and making fun of the thing," he said.
"They are completely different," he said of the two shows. They're similarly challenging, albeit in different ways, and similarly rewarding to listeners — if they're done right. That's where he comes in.
"My mission is for people to feel the emotions of the music without distraction," he said. "I do my best to do justice to the music."
"For those who saw the show last year, it's a little bit different," Havens said. Because Pink Floyd is "more ethereal," it translates differently to the orchestral format.
"It's laid back, it's not nearly as driving. But then again, that's one of the attractions of the music, to the people who love it," Havens said.
At times, he said, "they really wanted you to feel like you were floating." But carried to an extreme, it can be a bad thing to leave your audience comfortably numb, so his challenge was to preserve that ethereal feeling without softening or sweetening it.
"What I did was, I took a lot of the synthesizer stuff that they used on their recordings and put it on the orchestra side," he said. "I wrote a lot of counterpoint to it, so it still moves a little bit."
8 p.m. March 31 at the Mobile Saenger Theatre, 6 S. Joachim St.
Tickets: $35-$83, available through www.mobilesymphony.org. The symphony's box office is at the Larkins Music Center, 257 Dauphin St., and can be reached by calling 251-432-2010.
Info: The performance features conductor Brent Havens, vocalist Randy Jackson and a full rock band in conjunction with the MSO. According to promotional materials it will include 17 Pink Floyd tunes including "Money," "Learning to Fly," "Comfortably Numb" and selections from "The Wall."
Like Jackson, Havens said he wasn't out to impose his own style on Pink Floyd. He just wanted to be sure that it would pack some challenges for the musicians who play it and some surprises even for the fans most familiar with the original arrangements.
"'Signs of Life' was all synthesizers," he said. "I completely turned it into an orchestral piece" except for guitar solo at the end.
"It turned out to be a really wonderfully unusual piece," he said.
Jackson also has his favorites.
"The songs I like best are the ones with a lot of the meaning," he said. "So for me, 'Us and Them' is timeless. A lot of people I meet really don't know what the song is about. They just love it. ... I think musically and lyrically it as close to being a perfect song as you could get."
If the show is an experiment for the MSO, then it's an experiment based on a previous success: Gregg Gustafson, CEO of the symphony, said the decision to do a second rock show followed directly on the heels of the first.
"We're really, really enthused by Led Zeppelin and the fact that it brought in a completely different audience for the orchestra," Gustafson said. "There was maybe 10 to 15 percent crossover with people who are our usual subscribers, and we saw just hundreds and hundreds of new people."
The symphony staff polled people who'd attended that show, asking which of several acts they'd like to hear next, in the same format. "Pink Floyd ... was the clear leader," Gustafson said.
Gustafson said that regular symphony patrons already get to choose what they like from a classics series and a pops series, so he doesn't think that there's a sense such shows detract from the MSO's mission.
"There isn't any backlash," he said. And all those new faces in the crowd make it worth a try.
"One of the other things which I really loved was the kind of intergenerational attendance by baby boomers and then their kids," he said. "That was really fun to see."
There are other, less tangible benefits, he said, citing an example from last year's Zeppelin show.
"One of the best things that happened was that after the concert was over, as the orchestra was leaving, they left through the hall and through the lobby because everything was pretty crowded backstage, and the audience actually applauded them like they were rock stars as well," Gustafson said. "And they loved that. ... That was really cool, to see that happen."

FOLEY, Alabama -- Baldwin County commissioners tabled discussions on a new emergency management director search Tuesday after reaching no agreement on the contract length for the position.
During a work session at the Foley Satellite Courthouse, Commission Chairman Frank Burt and Commissioner Bob James said the contract should be for one year. Commissioners Charles "Skip" Gruber and Tucker Dorsey said the term was too short to attract qualified candidates to move to Baldwin County.
"We are where we are," Burt said at the end of the work session. "A number of folks want the job, but they happen to not be the one, I guess, that we selected, so we will decide this at some point in the future, in my mind, in the next week or two."
Gruber said the 1-year contract will mean that the county will have to settle for a less-qualified director.
"I still think that until we do something with the contract, we'll find somebody, but we'll settle for whatever we can get," Gruber said. "I don't see us having much success in getting a quality person."
After interviewing four finalists, the commission hired Karen Blackwood, a civilian-employee emergency management officer for the U.S. Navy, for the position on June 17. Blackwood, however, backed out of the appointed position and accepted another offer.
During her job interview, she expressed concern about the length of the contract.
Gruber said a 4-year contract would make more qualified candidates willing to seek the position, but would not lock the county into a commitment if problems developed with the new director.
"What's the big deal with a contract? We can get rid of a person if they're not doing their job regardless of whether it's a 1-year contract or a 10-year contract," Gruber said. "I just don't understand why we're so dead set on having a 1-year contract."
Burt said the new director would have the same guarantee of continued employment as someone in a similar position in private industry.
"If you get the right person here, who's not going to renew the contract? It takes three votes to not renew the contract," Burt said.
James also said he had no intention of extending the length of the contract. "I'm not going to shift," he told commissioners.
The EMA position first opened in November, when Leigh Anne Ryals, asked to be demoted from her appointed position to deputy director, a merit position, in the meeting before James and Dorsey took office.
The commission appointed Melvin Stringfellow director in November. He resigned six months later. The commission then appointed Shannon Spivey as acting director. Spivey said at the time of her appointment, however, that she did not want the job on a permanent basis and wanted to return to her county position as call center director by Aug. 16.
Dorsey said the disputes over the contract and other aspects of the position will make it difficult to find a new director.
"Nobody's going to come down here, especially with the way we've portrayed ourselves in the news, the way we've acted about the EMA," Dorsey said. "I don't know of anyone's who's going to take a risk."
During the work session, the commission also canceled plans to close Building Department offices in Foley and Fairhope, after the group was deadlocked by the same 2-2 split.
The proposal had called for the elimination of two positions — a clerk and bookkeeper — and moving the satellite offices to a Building Department site in Robertsdale. The move would also allow the county to move the Baldwin County Board of Registrars from a rented office to space that had been occupied by the Building Department.
Burt said the total savings would be about $100,000 a year.
"In 10 years that's $1 million, in 30 years that's $3 million," Burt said. "It seems like a little savings, but it sure does add up to a lot of savings over the years."
He said the move would have also allowed the county sales tax offices to be consolidated in a single site.
Gruber said closing the Foley office might require the county to return that property to the city, which gave the site to Baldwin.
"That was one of the things that they wanted when they deeded the property — to keep services here at this end of the county — so that people at this end of the county didn't have to travel to get it and that was the whole purpose of it," Gruber said.
James said the move would save money, but the county could reopen the other offices if the need arises in the future.
"I'm for this reallocation. Overall, I think it will save us a tremendous amount of money," James said. "If things ever pick back up again, this commission or the next commission can look at it and address it at that point in time, but with this down economy, I think we've really got to concentrate on every single dollar."
Dorsey said the county should cut costs, but also try to preserve services. He said the commission should try to look at alternatives, such as moving employees to different offices on different days of the week, to make services more convenient to residents around the county.
Burt said the tie among the four commissioners means that the proposal is dead.
"That's the end of that," he said.

French resigns as North Kitsap basketball coach; will stay on as volleyball coach
POULSBO — For some people, four years might seem fleeting. For North Kitsap's Tim French, it's meant a whole lot of long hours.
French is resigning as head coach of the North Kitsap High School varsity basketball program. He's been head of the basketball and volleyball programs for four years.
"For me, it came down to an issue of time," he said March 11. "Being a head coach of two high school sports — back-to-back seasons — it's a huge time commitment."
French knew coaching two high school teams — one in fall, the other in winter — was a big undertaking. Now he's decided to slow down and spend more time with his family.
French's resignation will be official after the school board approves the personnel recommendations March 13 during the board meeting.
It's been a rewarding experience, the Poulsbo Middle School physical education teacher said.
"I love coaching," he said. "But after four years of [coaching] both, it just seemed like I need to free up time."
The program has turned around in the years since French took it over. The team went from four wins in the 2010-11 season to three straight seasons of winning records. In the 2013-14 season, the team went 12-8 overall and 9-7 in conference play, a similar record to the two years preceding it.
French said he's worked to build a "positive culture" within the program. If he could do that, the wins would follow.
French and his coaching staff have had similar success with volleyball, building three state teams — the 2010 team, North's first to go to state; and the 2013 team, which finished fifth at state.
It's a quick turnaround for anyone coaching a fall sport and then winter. For French, whose 2013 volleyball team ended its season Nov. 16, it was real quick. The first preseason basketball game was Dec. 3; practice was held weeks before that.
Though French not sure who will replace him — nobody has given a firm answer — but he hopes the positive mentality of the program continues.
To all the North Kitsap sports fans, don't worry: French plans to continue coaching volleyball.

"Everyday Pox", the new video from British grindcore pioneers NAPALM DEATH, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's latest album, "Utilitarian" which sold around 2,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD debuted at No. 14 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
NAPALM DEATH's previous album, 2009's "Time Waits For No Slave", opened with around 1,800 units to land at No. 19 on the Heatseekers chart.
"Utilitarian" was released on February 27 in Europe and February 28 in North America via the band's longtime partner, Century Media Records. The cover artwork perfectly fits the album's theme and was created by the Danish artist Frode Sylthe, who is also responsible for THE HAUNTED's "rEVOLVEr" artwork.
NAPALM DEATH is currently taking part in a North American coheadlining tour with MUNICIPAL WASTE. The five-week trek also features EXHUMED as support, plus VEKTOR, DAYGLO ABORTIONS, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT and SPEEDWOLF on select dates. During the tour, NAPALM DEATH is selling t-shirts designed by artist Sean Taggart (CRUMBSUCKERS, AGNOSTIC FRONT).

Such is the nature of the construction biz that when times get good, they get really good. I don't write on Perini (NYSE: PCR ) as often as I do some other stocks, but it seems like every time I take a peek at this engineering and construction firm, the backlog has grown considerably.
And that backlog is a strong sign that times are definitely getter better for at least some non-residential builders. A peek at stocks like Fluor (NYSE: FLR ) , Shaw (NYSE: SGR ) , or McDermott (NYSE: MDR ) would tell you much the same story.
Revenue in the quarter was reported up 65%, though that was boosted by the inclusion of an acquisition. Stripping that away (or rather, adjusting the year-ago numbers to include the acquired business), organic growth was on the order of 16.5%. Margins came under a little pressure, though, and operating income growth was "just" 55%. On the net-income line, too, though, there is a reported number and an acquisition-adjusted figure -- reported growth was 46%, while "organic" net income growth would have been about 25%.
Speaking of the backlog, new awards of more than $600 million left the company with a backlog of about $7.9 billion. That's flat with the prior quarter, but well over double the amount the company had on the books back in November when I last wrote on the company. In fact, such is the pace of business that the company seems to pretty much be booked in Las Vegas through 2007, so if you want to build a new casino, you'll have to wait a while if you want to use Perini.
Perini isn't just about casinos, though. The company does big business in hotels and convention centers and is growing its business in segments like health care and education. And there's also a government business here that's more than capable of taking some of the expected spending on new roads and bridges.
Cyclical stocks are notoriously tricky, so I'm not about to say that Perini can't build its backlog even more, and that backlog should produce several years of good growth. By the same token, I see nothing wrong with taking fat profits when you can, so it might not be a terrible idea to consider locking in at least some gains here.

For the fifth year the Syracuse chapter of the National Action Network is organizing a free lunch program for city kids during school break, but this time around the network is scrambling for community support.
The lead organizer and person who got the program going, the former Larraine Mays, married and moved out of state, which has put the network behind in planning for "Feed the Children Week," network leader Walter Dixie said during a news conference this morning at the Southwest Community Center.
The Syracuse school district's spring break begins next week.
The network is asking churches and community groups around the city to step up to feed children next week, even for one day. The network is looking for donations, feeding sites and volunteers to help serve, Dixie said.
A number of organizations and churches already have agreed to help, including Southwest, Jubilee Homes and the Syracuse Housing Authority.
Last year, Feed the Children provided lunches to a thousand children, Dixie said, and he's hoping to reach that many this year.
To help call Dixie at 832-0026.
Contact Maureen Nolan at 470-2185 or email@example.com.


text: Any of you who use an EGW Oversize Bushing on your 1911, I have a potentially very stupid question. I just got one, and after some minor fitting, have been trying to install it. Because it is wider than a normal bushing, I can't get the plug past it when re-assembling the pistol. I've tried the regular GI plug, and have tried a 2 piece FLGR, and neither make it past the bushing. Do I need to use a different plug? Or assemble in a different order?
