I'm not saying they are all bad...but if you have too many it kinda defeats the purpose (right)?
In that case why even have one?
Well, as an owner of one of the largest Ammo Boxes here in town, now the West Metro TB Inn, let me go on record by saying this. I was introduced to this sport at the end of July last year. When I first started, I knew nothing about "Hitchhikers" or "Travel Bugs", but as time went on, I started to come across these neat little things. All of these items have there own little story to tell. After a while, I guess you could say I got bit by the "Bug", and now have been going out of my way to hunt down and track bugs. I created the West Metro TB Inn with the idea that A) it was about a mile from my work. B) It was a close park and grab, close to the 494 freeway. C) I didn't think we had anything like this on the far west side. I had been to Centris's Bug Bank, and like the idea she had going, so I adopted it. Recently I took a trip down south to TN/NC. Before I left I grabbed a large amount of TB's that were in my Hotel, as well as some other ones that I had noticed circulating around the Metro area. I moved the bugs closer towards there goal, or at least in the direction of there goal. During my trip, I hit a Bug Hotel in Chicago and one in Indiana. These were great as they were close to the freeway, and since I was on a tight schedule, I could stop and swap quickly. While traveling, I try to look and see what bugs are close and try to swap some. Why do I do this, well as an owner of close to 15 (soon to be 20) bugs, I like to make sure other bugs have the same experience I would like mine to have. Keep moving towards there goal. This also introduces new bugs to the area. Now that I have a whole bag of new TB's, I will be dropping them around the Twin Cities. Defiantly not all in Hotels and Bug Stops, as this introduces them all into the endless loop of Hotel stops. As an owner, I guess I dont really mind if my bugs go to a hotel and spend a short time there. It is when they stay there for a lengthy period of time that I get upset, I just want to see them keep moving.
Just my 2 cents.

I like the idea of bug motels. But what I don't like are cachers who clean out a motel of all of its' bugs. IMO it's ok to take 2 or 3. Leave some for the next cacher. I understand if you have a big trip coming up and will be doing some caching that you might want to take a half dozen or so with you. But to empty a motel just to move them around town is sort of self defeating. Just MO.

JT -- we were just commenting on the recent bunch of bug hotels that have arrived.
Here is what the metro has to offer currently (all within or close to the metro circle)....
The Trading Post
in Minneapolis (currently disabled, originally a regular cache in Anoka - was re-made into a Bug Hotel 3/20/2003 and was hidden off of Highway 62 for a brief time, always intended to re-place it in a south/mid metro spot)
Mall of America
in Bloomington (not an *official* Bug Hotel, but this cache attracts more out of town geo-cachers and their Travel Bugs than any other cache in the state)
Reservoir Woods Bug Hotel
in Roseville (originally named MSP Bugport - right across from the Airport, but was plundered, moved to Reservoir Woods 6/10/2003)
Yo Yo Yo Bug Motel
in Mendota Heights (turned into a Bug Motel 9/19/2003, recently changed back into a regular cache)
TB Bank and Co-op
in Arden Hills (members only)
Rice Creek Trail
in Arden Hills (recently changed back into a regular cache)
Pet Sematary
in Roseville (serves a special purpose for Tbugs - not *really* a hotel)
TB Gathering at Oakwood
in Oakwood?/Plymouth
West Metro TB Inn
in Plymouth
MSP BugPort
in Mendota Heights
Bug Stop at Nine Mile Creek
in Bloomington
What am I missing???

I would have to agree with the fact that there may be too many "Bug Hotels" in a radius. If there could be some sort of etiquette when creating this kind of cache i.e. how close is it to the nearest of this type.
I also feel as KC0QEG does about TBs. I love to find them and create them. I didn't intend the TB Gathering At Oakwood to be a "Bug Hotel" I created this one to give my respects to the TB!! Just a little rest stop if you have one that needs to be placed or needs to get on it's way.

Post subject: Bug Hotels
Like everything else about this endeavor, I think it is a matter of taste. I find the bug hotels to be very handy from time to time. The ones in town are great if you are short on time and want to get a few back in circulation. The ones that I discover on the road are better. I took a bunch of bugs to Madison and Chicago this week and ran out of time to hunt for new caches. I did have time to stop at an easy to get to bug hotel after dark. The result is the bugs are closer to goal, and that is what it is all about. Too many hotels? Like anything else, the market or the muggles will weed out some of them.

Tests will be ordered if your doctor has concerns that a serious problem or underlying medical condition is causing your back pain. Keep in mind that most of the time, low back pain gets better on its own with little intervention or only simple treatment measures.
Cauda Equina Syndrome
In the lowest part of the spinal column, there is a collection of nerve fibers, sometimes called "the tail" of the spinal cord. This collection of nerves is called the cauda equina, Latin for horse's tail. If these fibers become trapped, you can lose control of bladder and bowel function. This is called cauda equina syndrome. Other symptoms of this condition are:
This condition must be treated with immediate surgery to reduce the risk of permanent problems.
Other warning signals
When evaluating you for back pain, your doctor will be checking for signs of the following:
If any of the following are present, it will raise greater concern that one of these problems may be causing your back pain:

As above really...
Going out to Amsterdam for 4 days at the end of the month and whilst my friends are taking a day trip to Ajax Stadium, I'd like to get an hour or 2 on the mats in the afternoon with my cousin.
Can anybody recommend a tourist friendly gym near to Wertheim Park/Botanical Garden in the Plantage area?
If no open mat, a class would be fine or even a tourist friendly kickboxing gym?
Thanks in advance,

Range Map
American kestrels are classified in the genus Falco of the family Falconidae. There are 16 subspecies of American kestrels currently recognized throughout North and South America. The American kestrel is our most abundant North American falcon. It is found throughout North America south of the tree line. Northern populations migrate south in the winter as far as Central America and the Caribbean.
American kestrels inhabit a wide range of habitats, from deserts to forest edges, but they prefer more open country.
American kestrels are the smallest falcons in North America, and next to the Seychelles kestrels (Falco araea), are the smallest kestrels in the world. Their long, tapered wings give them the telltale characteristics of a falcon. This is one of the few raptors in North America where the males and females can be distinguished by their plumage. Both males and females have rusty-colored heads with a gray fringe. Males have reddish-brown backs, blue-gray wings and a reddish-brown tail. Females have reddish-brown wings and banded tails. The female's breast is beige and heavily streaked with brown. Females are considerably larger than males, averaging 9 to 11 inches (23-28 cm). Males average 8 to 10 inches (20-25 cm). Females have wingspans up to 2 feet (60 cm). American kestrels weigh between 3.5 and 5.5 ounces (100-155 gr).
A banded American kestrel lived 11.5 years in the wild. The maximum recorded age in captivity is about 17 years.
I In the wild: During summer months, American kestrels feed primarily in the early morning and evening hours on large insects such as grasshoppers. They also hunt small rodents and birds. During the winter, they hunt throughout daylight hours, preying primarily upon small birds and rodents.
At the zoo: Quail, mice and insects.
American kestrels are solitary birds throughout most of the year. During the mating season, however, males and females pair up and establish territories which they both defend. American kestrels chiefly nest in old tree cavities, but hollows in buildings and holes in cut banks of streams and rock faces as well as nest boxes, are also used. A clutch of four to six buff-colored eggs are laid at two- or three-day intervals. Eggs are incubated for about 30 days by the female.
Chicks are fed bits of prey brought to the nest by the male. After about 20 days, chicks are eating whole prey. About 30 days after hatching, they are ready to leave the nest, although parents and their young remain together for a period of time thereafter. When alarmed, kestrels utter a high-pitched cry of excitement, alarm or irritation which can be described as klee-klee-klee or killy-killy-killy.
A kestrel's flight is buoyant, rapid and graceful. These birds are frequently observed in both urban and rural areas, and when hunting they seek high perches such as trees or utility lines from which they search the ground for prey. If something of interest is spotted, the kestrel may hover over the spot where the prey was spotted.
Many birds can hover, but few can maintain this tiring mode of flight as long as the kestrel. The lightweight kestrel accomplishes this amazing feat by rapidly beating its powerful wings, and at the same time fanning out its tail feathers to provide lift from the wind.
Whether from a perch or from the air, once prey is spotted, the kestrel's attack is quick and decisive. Partially folding its wings, it swoops to the ground, captures its prey with its sharp talons and returns to its perch to eat.
American kestrels can be seen at the zoo's Raptor Center. However, other birds that can be viewed at the Raptor Center include the bald eagle, gyrfalcon, Harris's hawk, turkey vulture as well as great horned, spectacled and barred owls. Woodland Park Zoo's Eagle Release Program has rehabilitated and released back into the wild more than 80 eagles, plus other raptor species.
American kestrels are not endangered and are one of the most common New World raptors. Despite the overall health of American kestrel populations throughout the New World, some populations, including those in Florida, Texas, Arkansas and some northeastern states, are decreasing due to habitat alteration. Installing nesting boxes and protecting vital habitat required by these raptors will help to stabilize these populations.
Many raptor species are in danger. Human-caused changes in land use are escalating, and this affects the habitats and migratory corridors required by some raptors for survival. Vast forests are removed for timber and other paper products, and industrial emissions pollute water and air resources.
Critical shoreline and riparian zone habitats are rapidly converted by expanding human communities and agricultural needs. Illegal shooting and trapping are also lowering raptor numbers. It's only a matter of time until more raptor species may face extinction, unless we protect their habitats.
Humans need raptors. Here are only a few of the benefits raptors provide:
Efforts to save threatened and endangered raptors require cooperation and support at international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations. Recycle forest products. Eliminate or reduce pesticide use. Support breeding programs for endangered birds of prey at zoos and other animal care organizations. Let your elected representatives know your views about the conservation of migratory birds and their wild habitats.
Contact Woodland Park Zoo at firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how you can support conservation efforts at the zoo. Discover more about raptors by contacting the Peregrine Fund at their Web site www.peregrinefund.org.

Federal Officials Asking Local Police to Help Find Housing for Illegal Immigrants
Photo Credit: Steve Gregory (@StevenGregory)
More details on KFI's Bill Handel Show:
The White House is asking local lawmakers to help find facilities to house thousands of illegal immigrant kids.
The initial request comes from FEMA and was sent out by the White House Office Of Intergovernmental Affairs.
The internal email was acquired by KFI News and shows a request for emergency shelter options in states and communities throughout the US. It then lists a special email to send any suggestions.
An attachment outlines specific requirements for shelters- facilities must be within 50 miles of a major city and airport, able to be fenced in and available for lease.

Immunization is one of the world's biggest public health success stories. Yet, 1 in 5 children still lack access to the life-saving immunizations that help keep children in the U.S. healthy.
Coordinated worldwide vaccination efforts have made significant progress, particularly in reducing cases of measles and polio, but funding gaps could threaten these gains.
By scaling-up the delivery of vaccines we can save children's lives and also save billions of dollars through reduced treatment costs and gains in productivity.

Whereas, under authority contained in the Act of January 14, 1889 (25 Stat. 642), agreements were made between the United States and the Chippewa Indians of the Red Lake Reservation in the State of Minnesota providing for cession to the United States of a large area of said reservation and for the opening, sale and entry of such ceded lands under the homestead laws, the proceeds to be used for the common benefit of all the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, and
Whereas, the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota other than the Red Lake Band have organized as the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe and have relinquished to the Red Lake Band of Chippewa Indians all their right, title, and interest in the abovementioned ceded lands, and

Whereas, through their tribal organizations, the Indians of the Red Lake Reservation have recommended restoration to tribal ownership of all such lands included within the cessions made under said Acts of January 14, 1889, and February 20, 1904, and the Superintendent of the Red Lake Agency and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have concurred in this recommendation,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by sections 3 and 7 of the act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984), I hereby find that it will be in the public interest to restore to tribal ownership all those lands of the Red Lake Indian Reservation which were ceded by the Indians under the acts of January 14, 1889 (25 Stat. 642), and February 20, 1904 (33 Stat. 46), and which were opened for sale or entry but for which the Indians have not been paid and which now are or hereafter may be classified as undisposed of; and I hereby restore said lands to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Red Lake and Pembina Bands of Chippewa Indians belonging on the Red Lake Reservation in the State of Minnesota, adding them to and making them part of the existing reservation, subject to any existing valid rights.

Ratings for Dr. Nilima B. Parekhji
Dr. Parekhji is very knowledgeable and her entire practice gives first priority to her patients, I have been seeing her for the past 19 years - my history with her started with infertility treatment, and consequently she has delivered my three children. With every pregnancy there were minor complications, but my recent one was a case of pre eclampsia after delivery. It was a complicated situation, but she saw to it that I got the proper treatment in the hospital and for the two weeks post partum, her office followed up with me on a regular basis. She is just awesome! However complex the case may be - which is explained to you in advance, she always assures you that "everything will be fine" and then once you experience her command in the delivery room - you realize what she meant. I am happy that I got referred to her practice 19 years ago.
I have known Dr. Parekhji since I was pregnant with my fist back in 2009. I like her and the rest of her staff in the office. She is very straight forward in providing her advice and opinion and surely does not sugar coat her message and rest assured, I strongly believe she has her patient's best interest in mind and is doing what is best for them. She delivered my first in 2010 and it was a natural birth. I think she and her team did what they could to help me deliver naturally. I couldn't have asked for a better service. The next time I visited Dr. Parekhji was in 2013 and unfortunately this time I had a miscarriage. The procedure Dr.P did went very well and there was practically no recovery after. I was as normal as I could be. Thanks to Dr. Parekhji. I would recommend Dr. Parekhji without hesitation.
Dr. Parekhji has been my gynecologist for more than twenty years. She delivered both of my children and has been a wonderful presence for our family. She is knowledgeable, considerate, prompt, and impeccable in her bedside manner. As a medical professional and as a dear friend, she has served as an excellent source of guidance for my health and welfare. She provides clear diagnoses, and she handles complications with confidence and ease. My recovery times after I delivered my children under her care have been excellent, and her office is punctual in following up on annual checkups. Dr. Parekhji's staff and office are an excellent resource for my health, and I have great trust in their capabilities. Overall, her practice provides a high standard and quality of care that I would be hard-pressed to find elsewhere. I would highly recommend Dr. Parekhji and her practice to all kinds of women, both young and old, seeking obstetric and gynecological care.
I highly recommend Dr.Parekhji. She is the best doctor I ever had. She is very caring and knowledgeable. I can not thank her enough for being such an amazing person and a great doctor.
I have known Dr. Parekhji for 27 years. She is the consummate physician and highly skilled surgeon. She delivered my two children. Dr. Parekhji listens to my concerns and answer questions clearly and concisely. She has a kind bedside manner. Her medical and administrative staffs are friendly and professional. I respect Dr. Parekhji so much as a person and as an accomplished female surgeon who has been practicing medicine for 59 years. She is affiliated with Good Samaritan Hospital. She guided me through the child birth process from the first appointment and will be there for me as I go through the changes maturity brings (menopause). I stayed with Dr. Parekhji for 27 years because she is an expert in providing female reproductive health care, is a skilled surgeon and is a down-to-earth person who listens and answers my questions - with Dr. Parekhji, there are no stupid questions. If I need a hysterectomy or my female anatomy lifted, I trust no other surgeon to do the procedure.
I have known Dr. Parekhji for over 33 years. She delivered all four of my children and just recently my granddaughter. Even when my insurance changed they were more then willing to work with me and make sure I can continue to go to their office. The staff is always very friendly and willing to help with any questions you might have. Dr. Parekhji is always professional, but also talks to me as a friend. Although I can not have children anymore she is helping me with my menopause. I would not want to change my OBGYN for any other.
I would highly recommend Dr Parekhji. She has delivered both of my kids. She's very professional and takes time to listen to your concerns and questions. She is an expert in handling complicated deliveries and gives the best care to her patients. Her office staff is very friendly and prompt.
I have been a patient of Dr Parekhji since 1987. She is a wonderful doctor and she takes time to get to know and care about each patient and their family. She was both medically informative and emotionally supportive throughout my infertility challenge and subsequent adoption of our son. Fortunately, I continue to be in excellent health and therefore need to see Dr. Parekhji only for my normal wellness visits on an annual basis. I trust her professionalism and integrity in all that she does.I can highly recommend her to any woman looking for a skilled and caring OB_GYN.
I knew Dr.Parekhji since when I was first pregnant which was 26 years ago, she's very professional, warm and helpful, if I don't like her that much, I probably won't stay with her for such a long period of time. I highly recommend her to anyone who need a knowledgeable female gynecologist.
Dr. P has been my OBGYN since 1984. She has always been incredibly thorough, straight forward and caring. My questions and concerns have always been treated with respect and sound medical advice. Dr. P has seen me through three pregnancies as well as other procedures and she has proved many times over why I have such confidence in her abilities.

At Quakecon 2009, Bethesda's Todd Howard has disappointed The Elder Scrolls fans by stating that a new game in this series is not currently planned, although Bethesda is indeed working on a new, big project. Could it mean Fallout 4? In my opinion it's rather doubtful, especially given that Fallout: New Vegas is coming out next year, but I suppose we'll have to wait and see. Who knows, maybe they created their first new IP in 10 years, or bought another one? Keep in mind, though, Bethesda has a history of denying the existence of their current projects until the official announcement, so it might end up being TES after all.
Pete Hines has posted a clarification on the Bethesda Blog:
- Apparently some folks got a bit upset by reports based on Todd's talk at QuakeCon last week. An article came out where Todd was quoted as saying we had no plans for a TES V. He did not say that. That was not a direct quote from him. That was someone's interpretation of what he said. I know, I was there.
- At his QuakeCon talk he was asked when TESV is coming out and Todd replied, "Don't look for a new Elder Scrolls game in the near future." He also went on to say how much the franchise means to us and that it definitely will continue. He just wasn't going to provide any timeframe on "when."
- Todd and Bethesda Game Studios are hard at work on their next big game, and we're not ready to discuss it. As always, we prefer to have something amazing to show when we talk about it. We aren't going to confirm or deny or comment on speculation, nor are we going to give hints about anything. If you know us by now, you know we don't really do that.

Are any if not all of them compatible with iPhone 5?
If you end up in a boot loop, mobile substrate comes with a feature that you can get into Safe Mode by holding one of the volume buttons (or both? I forget exactly) when the device is powering on to get into Safe mode.
You can also SSH into the device and uninstall tweaks manually.
If the absolute worst comes to it, you can restore in iTunes because iOS 6.1 is still being signed.
Is there a way to turn on/off the password requirement for updating apps? I'm on 6.1, previously 6.0.1, 6.0... And it has always asked for my password for updates.
What about LockBar? I think that's the one that can password lock applications?
Maybe ill try password pilot... Could it be that I have restrictions set to ask for passwords immediately and that overrides even the updates? My kids like to browse the App Store so not having a password for purchases is dangerous!
PasswordPilot Pro has the functionality you're looking for.

Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.
You are not logged in.
After few months of power cycling of DSM G600 with every kernel fault, I decided that it's not the perfect way to develop kernel on it. So I tried a couple of PowerPC emulators and I do have partial boot (up to first DSM G600 hardware specific thing to be honest).
My adventure so far is documented at: http://blog.rot13.org/2007/10/powerpc_emulation.html
My choice of emulator would be also affected by other people interested in development. I don't have full understanding of hardware, but with good emulator we can poke running kernel until we know enough.
Some C coding knowledge is required (I'm quite lousy muself), but it could be a good way to understand device instead of bricking it (especially without serial port), so I guess that people might be interested in this...
Right now I'm leaning towards GXemul which seems to implement best debugging, together with strack trace of kernel (so you can lookup in kernel source why it died).
Current source code of modified GXemul with some basic support is at: http://svn.rot13.org/index.cgi/gxemul/browse/trunk
You can test it using:
svn co svn://svn.rot13.org/gxemul/trunk gxemul cd gxemul ./configure make # run it ./gxemul -E sandpoint -N -Q -T -t -K -V -vvv vmlinux-2.4.21-pre4.elf
kernel is elf file compiled for DSM G600 (idea is to understand hardware of machine :-)
Currently it will load kernel at correct address, start serial port output and die on mpc40x init. But, I'm working on it...
I also decided to push dynamips changes (so that you can compare effort to make it boot a bit) at http://svn.rot13.org/index.cgi/dynamips/browse/trunk
svn co svn://svn.rot13.org/dynamips/trunk dynamips cd dynamips make dynamips -P 1700 --vm-debug 1 vmlinux-2.4.21-pre4.elf

Lack of comments on this post seems to indicate that level of interest in this topic is small... However, I will bore you with another post which shows my progress so far...
I managed to implement enough or mpc10x and OpenPIC in GXemul to more-or-less accurately emulate first part of boot. I still don't understand fully how OpenPIC works so I will need at least several more weeks to implement them well enough to emulate kernel boot into some kind of semi-usable emulated enviroment (probably initrd at fist). In short, interrupts aren't emulated yet, so it still dies before calibrating delay loop in emulator.
I have found that inserting a log of printk messages all over the place helps a lot. When running same kernel in GXemul and on real device (using loader.o) I was able to get accurate traces of what kernel gets from real device and from my implementation.
This helped me a lot to understand what the chips do, so I hope that I will be able to do same thing for all the hardware. Same method might be used to develop u-boot (to boot kernel directly from IDE drive, for example) in comfort of emulated environment. GXemul's trace flag shows whole back trace through kernel, which is very helpful.

Thistle Hotels is powering ahead with its commitment to cutting carbon emissions by joining the Carepar scheme, a carbon measurement initiative designed to create a league of the UK's greenest hotels and provide guests with information on the carbon impact of their bookings.
Thistle's 'green team' has been working closely with Carepar as part of the group's Corporate Social Responsibility policy. This includes an initial £60,000 eco-investment in fitting energy efficient light bulbs throughout the group's 33 hotels over the past two years, installation of motion sensors to automatically switch-off lights when not in use, new settings for ballroom and conference room lighting to reduce energy usage when rooms are being prepared for guests and the fitting of an energy saving kitchen at the Thistle City Barbican hotel.
Since September 2009, Carepar has been tracking the energy usage of the group's nationwide network of hotels to provide Thistle with insights to help it further maximise energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. The energy usage data will be used to rank Thistle in the green hotel league, which will be published as more hotels join up to the Carepar scheme.
Joining Carepar marks another milestone in Thistle's £100million rebrand programme, which is being led by Managing Director of Thistle Hotels, Heiko Figge and includes ongoing refurbishment to provide guests with a comfortable and welcoming stay.
Joe Potter, Property Service Manager for Thistle Hotels, said: "Guest comfort is paramount at Thistle Hotels and, in line with what matters to guests and the environment, we're constantly looking at how we can continue to offer guests a warm welcome while improving energy efficiency.
"We're listening to guests and understand the concerns they have about their carbon footprint, whether travelling for business or leisure reasons. Joining the Carepar scheme will help us to show guests the positive steps we're taking to reduce carbon emissions and help us identify even more ways of saving energy."

• exigency •
Pronunciation: eg-zi-jên-see • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun
Meaning: 1. An unforeseen crisis or emergency, an urgent necessity. 2. (Law) A requirement, need, or expectation.
Notes: Today's noun may be used with or without the final (redundant) suffix -y: exigence is equally acceptable though less often used. Both these nouns are derived from the adjective exigent [eg-zê-jênt] "pressing, urgent", as in exigent circumstances. There is a sibling adjective, exigible "demandable, that could be required", as an exigible duty on imports, a duty that could be charged whether it actually is or not.
In Play: Our lives are filled with exigent circumstances: "Malcolm was late for work because of a family exigency: his tie got caught in the food disposal and his head was held in the sink for a quarter hour." Of course, what is exigent is a matter of taste and opinion: "Charlotte was faced with a major exigency when she arrived home to discover her apartment was bereft of anything chocolate."
Word History: This Good Word comes from another Latin present participle, exigen(t)s "demanding", of the verb exigere "to demand, require". The past participle is exactus, the origin of our verb (to) exact, as to exact a high price. This verb is a combination of ex "out (of)" and agere "to drive, initiate, lead, carry out". The past participle of this verb is actus, ancestor to English act. However, this verb is also the source of agent, someone who carries out tasks on your behalf. Synagogue comes from the Greek equivalent of this verb, synagein "to bring together", based on syn "(together) with" + agein "bring, lead, direct".

Chiefland Mayor M. Teal Pomeroy cut the annual salary of Fire Chief John Ward by $500 a year to start, in contrast with what the city paid him as interim chief.
For the first six months, Ward?s annual salary will be $41,000.
As interim chief, it was $41,500 per year, which was former Fire Chief David Burnett's salary. Pomeroy said Ward lacks the fire inspector credentials held by Burnett.

text: NEW YORK ( The Deal) -- As Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe prepares to implement the "third arrow" of his economic growth policies, signs of U.S. interest in Japanese deal targets are emerging. Speaking late on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at the New York Stock Exchange, Abe pledged to implement the final part of his policies -- structural change needed for sustainable growth. "As soon as I return I will be firing the next arrow: a bold tax reduction to stimulate investment, so Japan will be in full force again," he said. The first two "arrows" of what has been dubbed "Abenomics" have comprised massive monetary and fiscal stimulus programs that have triggered a 20% fall in the yen and a 60% jump in the Nikkei over the past year. Abe's speech at the exchange came amid a rare foreign investment in Japan: California-based chip manufacturing equipment provider Applied Materials ( AMAT) announced Tuesday a takeover of Japan's Tokyo Electron, in an all-stock deal valued at $9.4 billion. The acquisition is the second-biggest takeover of a Japanese company by an American concern on record, behind Citigroup's ( C) $13.9 billion acquisition of Nikko Cordial Securities in 2007. Abe said structural change would include measures to encourage higher female participation in the workforce, such as drastically boosting childcare provisions. He also urged America to adopt Japanese technology, which he claimed could save resources and improve efficiency. For example, he noted that a Japanese bullet train could cut travel time between New York and Washington to less than an hour. Japan notched 3.8% annualized growth in the second quarter of the year, according to Japan's Cabinet Office, beating its G-7 peers. Business confidence is also rebounding: the Ministry of Finance's third-quarter business survey index reached its highest level this month since 2004, when the survey began. Yet market volatility and currency appreciation triggered by Abenomics has also quashed outbound deal making. Japanese dealmakers, traditionally the leading foreign acquirers of U.S. assets, have shunned M&A opportunities in the world's largest economy: for the year to date, Japanese acquisitions of U.S. targets have fallen 75% by total value to $6.5 billion and 33% by volume to 85 deals, according to Dealogic.

My approach to psychotherapy involves seeing each client as unique with a very personal history. I start by getting to know you - your likes and dislikes, your relationships, how you manage your feelings, your general experiences in life. We will define the problems together, and then we will - together - define your goals for treatment. I use a client-centered approach with a strong emphasis on Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy.
Lisa Reed, MA, NCC, LPC, CAADC

900 6th Street and 342 South Richards Street, Saxton and Bedford, Pennsylvania 15522
I believe in the here and the now approaches to therapy, such as Reality, Person Centered, Solution Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, however, sometimes it is beneficial to explore a client's past experiences to look at hurts, needs, behavior patterns, etc. in order to make positive changes in their current lives. The past does sometimes affect ones current behavior and attitude. It is necessary sometimes to hear a clients past to help them recover and rebuild from their hurts. To accept and let it go, realizing they are still lovable, worthwhile, and can be successful and happy. I use a thorough assessment and behavioral techniques to help validate and encourage clients.

Conspicuous dark streaks atop icy dunes on Mars allure scientists and non-scientists, yet their origin remains a mystery. Perhaps they are small avalanches or patches of sand covered by a thin veneer of ice. Perhaps they formed when cold gas jets of evaporating ice spewed dust onto the surface.
Imagine being able to point a camera at such features from 60 million miles away! Students in Budapest, Hungary effectively did that, selecting this site for observation from orbit through a program that invites the public to help NASA select targets for imaging on Mars.

ALLURE OF THE SEAS WAS MAGNIFICANT!: Allure of the Seas Cruise Review by Abbieebu
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Some of the finer points that I'd like to mention:
Food: Overall Grade = A
- Main Dining Room food was excellent!!! Most every night the food was great, in fact, best cruise food we have ever had. I must note that Lobster night was the only disappointment. Hailing from Rhode Island, there is nothing like cold water lobsters, so the warm water lobsters were not good at all, however, EVERY other meal was excellent in the main dining room). Our server and entire restaurant staff were superb, and we really liked having "My-Time Dining."
- Samba Grill was excellent and I highly recommend checking it out. More
- If you wish to avoid crowded, noisy, fast paced restaurant, stay away from Windjammer Cafe. Food was "fast food" style cafeteria like menu, varied, but not very good either. Only ate there twice and way too many people!!! Better options for quick lunch/breakfast would be Park Cafe.
- Chops was also excellent
- Ahmet (our waiter) and June (hostess) were most noticeably amazing!
Entertainment: Overall Grade: A+
- You will NOT find any better entertainment on any other cruise ship than the ALLURE!
- Chicago and Blue Planet shows were spectacular as was Water Aria, though not as good as the first two mentioned (in my humble opinion).
- The vocals, dancing, acting, and musicians aboard this ship are simply first class and all outstanding. As a professional musician who has worked in shows similar to these and performed for 25 years, I found sitting back and listening to the high quality performances as one of the best aspects of this cruise.
- Book shows at least 4 weeks in advance so that you do not have to wait in line as stand by! They sell out pretty quickly.
- Comedy show was top notch as were the
StateRoom: Overall Grade: A+
- great room size and VERY comfortable bed...called ahead to request extra cushioning on mattress for my wife who is disabled. Bedding was upgraded at no cost. Also had three extra pillows!
- Balcony overlooked the Boardwalk and actually watched Ocean Aria water show one night from Balcony. Room location was farthest from the show, but still a good seat!
- Stateroom attendant was very accommodating with my wife's situation and was also very friendly!
Pools/Sports: Overall grade: A+
- Ya I did all of the sports/activities on the sports deck. Best days for Zip line and Rock climbing wall are when ship is in port! I did zip line twice and rock climbing wall once with no lines and no wait! Day at sea would be about 5-10 minute wait.
- Jacuzzi, Pools, etc... were all amazing, though tended to get crowed on Sea days.
Ports of Call: Overall grade: B+
- Labaddee: grade = C...was not a big fan of visiting Haiti. Beaches were OK, but I would suggest booking a tour if possible, as beaches crowded and just OK. There were some sports beaches for those who like to climb and play in the water, otherwise nothing special. I would have chosen to stay on the ship for this port, but my wife really insisted we check out the island. Also tourist trap village area where you get hounded every step you take! Not fun!
- Jamaica: grade = A-...Dunn's Falls, and several other tours available. I recommend taking one of them. Some very shady areas of Jamaica, so be careful.
- Cozumel: grade = A had a very nice tour and history lesson on Mexico and the island of Cozumel. Toured and sampled tequila at a tequila factory, was able to dine in Mexico, and also toured the coast and downtown area. Very beautiful Island, food was great!
I would like to close by saying the Allure of the Seas is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and spectacular ships in the world (not too mention the largest). If you have an opportunity to cruise, then you must experience this ship (or the Oasis). NOTHING COMPARES! My wife and I had a great experience and will try the Oasis next year in the eastern Caribbean!
SPA: Overall Grade = A+
- Vitality Spa was excellent. Marta gave me a GREAT massage and though a bit expensive, still great job! The staff was friendly, the Spa was enourmous and great decor as well!
Overall Grade Allure of the Seas = A+ Less

description: Bad-mannered human teenagers have nothing on the caracara. Armed with sharp talons, these juvenile gangs are the scourge of the Falkland Islands - and a group has cornered a defenseless baby fur seal.

title: World's Deadliest: Bird of Prey Attacks Baby Seals

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Deep in the South Atlantic, life seems to have flown the coup.
Here, in the rocky outcroppings known as the Falkland Islands, a taloned hunter thrives:
The striated caracara.
And these talons come in squadrons.
Juveniles hang out in fearless gangs.
They terrorize each other, before wreaking havoc on the rest of the island.
Caracaras mainly scavenge.
And they're not choosy.
When elephant seals molt, the caracaras snack on dead skin.
Anything remotely nourishing, they go for.
But the fur seal colony provides the main course for the caracara.
Newborn pups.
When seal moms go fishing, hunting season opens.
And that's when this young caracara learns how to use his talons.
The rest of the gang piles on-a swarm of switchblades-just as mother returns.
Calling to her pup brings no answer.
No problem for the caracara.  They can still find plenty of other food to sink their talons into.

LONG BEACH -- Four men who broke down the door of a Westside couple's home and beat the pair during a home invasion robbery remained at large Thursday.
Four suspects, described only as a males, assaulted the husband and wife, both of whom are in their 60s, and took several undisclosed items from the home, which sits in the 2900 block of Daisy Avenue, said Lisa Massacani, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
"At least one suspect had a gun," Massacani said Thursday.
The incident occurred at about 2:45 a.m. Wednesday and resulted in the victims, who were badly shaken and suffered relatively moderate injuries, being treated at a local hospital Wednesday, police said.
The couple, who speak little English and are from Croatia, told investigators they awoke to the commotion of their front door being bashed in.
The men were last seen driving south on Daisy.
Whether the couple were specifically targeted, or the victims of a random attack, remained under investigation Thursday, police said.
No suspect or vehicle description has been released.
Anyone with information about the incident was urged to call the LBPD Robbery Detail at 562-570-7464.

Box score
Princeton, N.J. — Sophomore midfielder Lauren Sbrilli (Martinsville, N.J.) scored the game-winning goal in the sudden victory overtime period, as Rutgers women's lacrosse (1-2) earned a 11-10 upset win over No. 8 Princeton (1-1) Wednesday evening at Class of 1952 Stadium.
"Tonight was an overall team effort," said head coach Laura Brand-Sias. "We had a game plan and the girls did a great job of executing it. We have known all along what we were capable of, it was just a matter of putting it all together. Tonight was a great example of what we are capable of accomplishing."
Sbrilli tallied her first hat trick of the season. Senior midfielder Ali Steinberg (Suffern, N.Y.) and attack Megan Clements (Pennington, N.J.) each added three goals of their own. For Steinberg, it marked the eighth hat trick of her career. Senior Danielle Mascera (Verona, N.J.) assisted on three scores.
Junior goalie Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.) came up huge for the Scarlet Knights, stopping a season-high 11 shots, including multiple saves on free position shots. Rutgers controlled 16 of the 25 draws, including an 11-3 advantage in the second half and overtime periods.
The Sbrilli game winner came off a scramble in front of the net, as the sophomore picked the ball out of the air and flung it into the back of the net.
The Scarlet Knights took a 6-4 advantage into the break behind the strong play of Steinberg and Clements. Clements got the scoring started, as Stephanie Anderson (Wading River, N.Y.) dished off to the sophomore from a free position shot.
The two teams would trade goals for the remainder of the half before Rutgers notched the final two scores. Clements corralled a broken play in front of the net, slipping it past Princeton goalkeeper Annie Woehling. With 80 seconds remaining, senior attack Lindsey Watts (Hillsborough, N.J.) buried a free position shot into the top corner of the cage.
The squads exchanged goals over the first 12 minutes of the second stanza before Princeton went on 3-0 spurt. Cassie Pyle, Barb Previ and Mary-Kate Sivilli each scored for the Tigers over a six-minute span to give PU an 8-7 lead.
Rutgers would not give in, scoring three of the next four goals to take a 10-9 advantage. Steinberg posted her third goal of the game at the 4:31 mark, corralling a pass from Mascera to knot the game at nine. On a fast break by the Scarlet Knights, Sbrilli sliced down the lane and fired a shot past Woehling. Princeton's Jaci Gassaway scored with 33 seconds remaining to force overtime.
RU continues its three-game road swing, as the Scarlet Knights head to Philadelphia to take on Penn Wednesday, March 7. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

Besides having celebrity product engineer Ashton Kutcher's mark on it, the Yoga Tablet's claim to fame is its status as the Yoga line's first multimode tablet.
Designed for the person on the perpetual go, the Yoga Tablet's unconventional form factor allows it to be used in a variety of three modes for utmost convenience. Besides that, portability comes in the form of its lightweight design and purported 18-hour battery life without the need to lug around additional battery packs.
But is this enough in light of the current competitiveness of all the tablet options available? We spend some time with the flexible device to see if it's able to bend and break its competition.
Build: Fat bottomed girls
The cylindrical bottom of the Yoga Tablet 10 is the most obvious mark of difference. The device tapers from a mere 3mm to 8.1mm to accommodate its barrelled bottom. At its thinnest, it gives even the iPad Air a run for its money.
In terms of appearance, the Yoga Tablet 10 cannot be faulted. It looks more premium than its asking price with its subtly textured back and sleek aluminium finish. And that nicely cushy power button at the side of its cylindrical bottom instead of being a thin button located on the side of the slate is a nice touch and makes the best of its design.
Tucked away at the back of its cylindrical bottom is its built-in kickstand, which should save you the money on a tablet cover. To pull it out, you'll either have to work your finger into a thin groove, which is frankly a nail-breaking process, or you could wrap your hand around the cylindrical bottom and twist it out. The latter is probably the wiser choice but as barrel is completely smooth, it can get trying at times with dry hands. It would have been better if it was textured.
Modes: Triple threat
Its built-in kickstand affords it to be used in three different modes: the usual tablet mode, stand mode, and tilt mode. That cylindrical bottom makes a world of difference, providing a better grip than the thin edge of the usual tablet. It could do with being textured for an even steadier grip, but the size of it is just right and feels natural in the hand.
In stand mode, you'll have to mind how hard you tap the screen as the narrow kickstand does not provide a stable lean-on. We managed to knock it over a couple of times in our furious email typing. While tilt mode may solve that problem, it puts the tablet at a non-adjustable height. So like it or not, you'll have to make do with it. Plus there's the small niggling problem of the Lenovo logo being upside down, which could be due cause for a panic attack for the obsessive-compulsive. You can't even ignore it as it's right above the display.
Display: No explosions in all their graphic glory
The bezel could afford a little trimming down to up its sleek factor. Wrapped in a multitouch HD display, the Yoga Tablet 10 spreads its 1280 x 800 resolution over 10.1-inches of viewing space. While it meets the requirements for high definition, you'll find the viewing experience not quite.
When spread across 10.1in of screen space, its pixel count dwindles down to a paltry 149.5 pixels per inch, making it one of the smudgier displays as compared to the iPad Air's 264 ppi or the Nexus 10's 301 ppi. While it's not like everything is a blur on the screen, people used to Retina-display quality need not apply for this tablet. But if you still fancy its form factor, you could go for its 8-inch sibling which offers up a slight better ppi count of 189.
Performance: The little engine that would if it could
With its 1.2GHz quad core processor, it's floating among the bottom of the 9-11 inchers which chug in at an average of 1.9GHz like the Galaxy Note 10.1. Starting up apps could be sluggish at times, but once they're up and ready, there's no lag even if they're pretty intensive games.
With 16GB of internal storage and a slot for up to 64GB more, the number of multimedia files you can store in it without having to rely on the cloud is substantial. We think it's a tablet more suitable for work use than entertainment as that less-than-average screen will definitely get in the way of you savouring Breaking Bad reruns.
- Processor: MT8389 quad-core 1.2GHz
- Operating System: Android 4. 2 Jelly Bean
- Battery: Li-Ion, 9000mAh
- Camera: 5MP rear camera and 1.6MP HD front camera
- Memory: 16GB internal storage (up to 32GB eMMC) with 64GB micro-SD card external storage support
- Weight: 605g (Wi-Fi), 610g (3G)
- Dimensions: 261 x 180 x (3.0-8.1)mm
Battery Life: Redemption is here
For all its display shortcomings, the Yoga Tablet 10 delivers on its battery longevity. While we were not able to test it to its 18-hour WiFi web-browsing limits, we looped YouTube videos for most of the workday, had enough battery to last the commute back home, and then some.
To make it last even longer, it comes preloaded with an energy-saving app so you can tweak settings to squeeze as much juice as possible out of its 9000 mAh battery.
With the average battery life of other tablets hovering around the 10-hour mark, this puts the Yoga Tablet 10 in good stead with those who can't be fussed to tote around additional battery packs or locate power sockets on the go. We know this makes it a winner in our books, and compensates for its lackluster display to some extent.
Camera: Eye see you
Its 5-megapixel camera is not what you will use to take National Geographic-worthy shots but it will suffice in those cases when you need a camera. You won't find a lot of detail in the shots, but colours are true and vibrant when the lighting allows for it. It's no biggie about its low megapixel count; you don't want to be one of those idiots wielding a tablet as a camera anyway.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 seems to have contracted a case of the first gen iPad Mini. While these firsts for the respective device makers have great form, their displays are a letdown. As Lenovo's first shot at a multimode tablet, it is a respectable attempt with its extraordinary battery life and affordable price point. We can't wait to see what other tricks Lenovo has up its sleeves for the future.

When Maysen Dixon was born with Turner syndrome, a genetic disorder with a variety of complications, doctors predicted she would never walk or talk.
So as the 8-year-old Canyon Lake resident stood on a stage Sunday and sang the popular "What Makes You Beautiful" pop song to the audience -- complete with a few dance moves and an impressive singing voice -- her mother, Connie Dixon, said she was filled with joy.
"It brings a tear to my eye, to see how far she's come," said Connie Dixon, 35. "She was our little miracle baby."
Maysen was among about two dozen local children and adults who got a chance to strut their stuff on stage as part of RockRidge Church's second annual special needs pageant and fashion show. The Temecula church runs a large and popular "Climbing Higher" ministry that caters to families with special-needs children, and the show is one aspect of that program.
More About Climbing Higher
The church's "Climbing Higher" ministry caters to families across the region who live with a special-needs adult. It meets Sunday afternoons once a month at RockRidge Church, 27570 Commerce Center Drive in Temecula.
A wide range of disabilities is represented in the group, and an average of 20 or more families meet to talk about experiences, therapies, programs, services and other topics. At the meetings, there are refreshments and a variety of activities, anything from music and games to arts and crafts, and puppet shows.
The event gave participants a chance to be an active part of the community, feel important, and do what they love – be on stage, several parents said.
"They got to feel like they can be like everybody else," said Sandy Ebert, 78, of Murrieta, whose grandson was in the show.
Murrieta mother Karen Newman, 59, said she appreciates what the pageant allowed her 32-year-old son, Nick, as well as others with special needs, to enjoy – and that's real life.
"I loved it," Karen Newman said. "They're out in the community instead of staying at home and watching TV. They love to be on stage. They love the audience, the clapping, the trophies."
There were no losers on Sunday, as everyone in the show earned a trophy and hearty rounds of applause. To earn the praise, participants dressed up in various costumes and performed on stage, answering questions and smiling to the crowd.
Elvis, Michael Jackson, Danny Zucco from "Grease" and Arnold Schwarzenegger all made appearances. Dapper attire, zoot suits and red carpet-ready looks also graced the stage. Questions of "who are you wearing" got responses such as "Kohl's" and "my Mom made it."
"I loved the event," said participant Chantel Leak, 21, of Temecula. "I love dressing up and being with my friends and stuff."
Participant Nicolette Condry, 31, of Menifee, who wowed the audience with her flag-twirling performance, said she honed her skills as a student at San Pasqual High School in Escondido years ago, and it was fun to bring out her sequined flag and do it again.
