Airline Hiring Women to Save Costs
(CNN) — An Indian airline has hit on possibly the worthiest excuse yet for hiring slim women as cabin crew — it saves fuel and therefore money.
While some airlines admit to hiring women for their sex appeal, budget carrier GoAir has implemented a female-only flight attendant recruitment policy because they are 15-20 kilos lighter on average than men, it claims.
The airline estimates each extra kilo on board costs Rs3 ($0.05) per flying hour, and the new policy will save it up to $500,000 annually.
Other weight-reduction initiatives have also been employed.
"The size of in-flight magazines has been reduced," the airline's CEO Giorgio De Roni told The Times of India. "The potable water tanks are no longer being filled to capacity as only 35% to 40% of that water is actually used."
GoAir's 130 male cabin staff (out of 330 total) will be unaffected — the policy affects future hires only. The airline expects to hire around 2,000 flight attendants and pilots over the next seven years.
Weight and its reduction is a key focus for airlines as fuel costs, comprising a third to half an airline's operating costs, continue to rise.
Samoa Air last year became the first airline to charge fees according to weight, and a Norwegian economist has claimed this is the fairest and most sensible way to calculate prices.

There have been thousands of stories about the Wild, Wild West, but none quite like the one about Josephine Marcus Earp, the Jewish widow of famed lawman and gambler Wyatt Earp.
Thanks to Ann Kirschner, author and Dean of Macaulay Honors at the City University of New York, Josephine's story is finally being told.
In Kirschner's new book, "Lady at the O.K. Corral," she paints lively portraits of Josephine and Wyatt both.
Those interested can meet Kirschner on Saturday when she makes an appearance at Pomona's Temple Beth Israel. She is the featured speaker at the Temple's 15th annual Jewish Book fair and will share insight into her book, and tell why she felt so compelled to tell Josephine's dynamic story.
"It's really fascinating, if you look at a lot of the early chronicles of the wagon trains and frontier towns you would have thought there were no women there at all; no mothers, daughters, sisters or wives," said Kirschner in a phone interview. "Then when you read their diaries, many which remain unpublished, you get such a different point of view. Without the female perspective you don't get a complete picture. Josephine was a woman who struggled between two sides of her personality. One side wanted fun and adventure living one day at a time while the other side wanted to be a respectable lady living a very traditional life."
Josephine met Wyatt Earp in Tombstone after arriving as a runaway teenager already involved with the town's sheriff Johnny Behan.
In her book Kirschner reveals, through extensive research, there might have been a love triangle at the heart of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral. Earp and Behan were arch-rivals, and they battled over Josephine's affections, Kirschner said.
"Josephine had a lot she wanted to hide, a lot of skeletons in her closet," Kirschner said. After Wyatt's death, Josephine worked to burnish his image and mask her own.
No one could know that she was another man's common-law wife. No one could know that she was never legally married. And above all, no one could know the truth about Matty Earp, Wyatt's previous common-law wife, who eventually committed suicide and blamed Wyatt for her descent into prostitution and drug addiction.
"Lady at the O.K. Corral" delivers a slice of American history, through the lens of one woman's life, from the Civil War to World War II, from stagecoaches to airplanes, from great wealth to a lonely old age in obscurity and poverty. Josephine was there in the wide-open crazy days of the American frontier, and then witnessed its abrupt end.
"This is a story of the West like you've never seen it before," Kirschner said. "This is a story about a sexy broad of the West who had a sense of fun and adventure. There was never a dull moment with Josephine. She always kept me laughing and that's what I'll try to do — keep the audience laughing."

NEW YORK — Rangers captain Ryan Callahan will be sidelined for 10 to 14 days after hurting his shoulder in New York's victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
NEW YORK — Rangers captain Ryan Callahan will be sidelined for 10 to 14 days after hurting his shoulder in New York's victory over Philadelphia on Tuesday night.
Callahan, who scored the winning goal against the Flyers, was injured early in the third period during a scuffle with Philadelphia forward Max Talbot.
After undergoing an MRI on Wednesday, Callahan was diagnosed with a subluxation of his left shoulder. The forward was dragged down by the arm by Talbot and immediately skated off. His left arm dangled as Callahan went down the tunnel to the locker room.
In the second period, Callahan scored to give the Rangers a 2-0 lead. It was his 200th point in the NHL.
If the injury timetable is correct, Callahan would miss six games over the next two weeks — starting with a home matchup against Atlantic Division rival Pittsburgh on Thursday night.
With the NHL playing a condensed, 48-game regular season because of the long lockout, Callahan will likely miss more games than he would have in a standard season.
His absence will be felt in many areas, most notably on the defensive end and in penalty-killing.
"I don't think you fill his role," Rangers coach John Tortorella said Wednesday. "I felt that in the third period (Tuesday) night when we were protecting the lead, that's a very big part of his game.
"Every team goes through the injuries, and just playing that much better in the situations that he's been put in through his career, it needs to be done as a group. You lose a top guy like that, it shuffles the lineup, and it gives other guys chances that they probably wouldn't get if he was playing. I feel comfortable in us joining together as a team and trying to get it solved until we get him back."

George Harrison 'Early Takes' Album Announced
Although known to fans as "the quiet Beatle," George Harrison left behind a wealth of legendary albums upon his death in 2001. Fans have also been exposed to a number of unreleased demo tracks over the years through unofficial releases, including solo demos recorded in the waning days of the Beatles as he transitioned to working on his debut album, 'All Things Must Pass.'
Some of those demos, along with other rarities, will see a U.S. release on May 1 with the release of 'Early Takes Vol. 1,' a set of ten songs featured in Martin Scorcese's October 2011 documentary on Harrison, 'Living In The Material World.' Both DVD and blu-ray editions of the documentary are due for release on the same day.
Many of these tracks appear similar to those released on the famous Beatle bootleg 'Beware of ABCKO,' at least one of which also turned up on the Beatles' 'Anthology 3′ release. Harrison's collaborations with Bob Dylan are also spotlighted, including an early take of their co-written track 'I'd Have You Anytime' and Harrison's demo of Dylan's 'Mama You Been On My Mind.' Rarities from later albums such as 'Thirty Three and 1/3′ and 'Living in the Material World' also appear on the collection.
The set will be available in both vinyl and CD incarnations and should be available for pre-order soon from Amazon. Harrison fans with iPads will also want to check out the singer-songwriter's guitar collection in the exclusive 'The Guitar Collection: George Harrison' app, available through iTunes.
Here's the track listing for 'Early Takes':
1. My Sweet Lord (demo)
2. Run Of The Mill (demo)
3. I'd Have You Any Time (early take)
4. Mama You've Been On My Mind (demo)
5. Let It Be Me (demo)
6. Woman Don't You Cry For Me (early take)
7. Awaiting On You All (early take)
8. Behind That Locked Door (demo)
9. All Things Must Pass (demo)
10. The Light That Has Lighted The World (demo)

PARAMOUNT – One of two suspects in a Placentia armed robbery was shot by a sheriff's deputy Thursday at the end of a pursuit from Orange County to Paramount, and the second suspect remained at large.
The deputy-involved shooting occurred around 2:45 p.m. in the 8100 block of Century Boulevard, said Deputy Benjamin Grubb of the Sheriff's Headquarters Bureau.
Few details were immediately available, but KCAL Channel 9 reported that the two men were suspected of carrying out an armed robbery in Placentia, then leading police and deputies on a chase to Paramount.
The shooting apparently occurred when the suspects' vehicle came to a stop.
The second suspect fled, and police and sheriff's deputies were combing the area in search of the man.

Reviewed By Angel S (Orlando, FL) Reviewed for a 2006 Saturn Relay —4/2/2009 8:19 AM
The LeBra was somewhat difficult to install becuase it was a super tight fit. It took me awhile to stretch it enough to make it fit. The hood portion was not a very good fit and the straps were not located correctly to allow for a tight fit. I would change the strap locations and add a couple of more straps to get it to fit tighter and not vibrate. I had to add a strap of my own to get a better fit. Still not perfect, but somewhat manageable. I have to keep adjusting it every so often because it tends to creep and go slack.

Making the Trip to Philly With High Expecations
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's golf team will be riding on a high wave of momentum as it heads to Philadelphia for the Oct. 8-9 Big Five tournament, to be played this year at the Plymouth Country Club.
Last week, the Bulldogs clinched the Macdonald Cup at the Yale golf course, winning with a dominant five-stroke advantage. But this week's competition, hosted by the "Big Five" division I schools in the Philadelphia area – LaSalle, Penn, St. Joseph's, Temple and Villanova – will still be a tough won to win.
Still, the Elis have several players in fine form, with individual performances combining well in a team that just this past week climbed to No. 38 in the national rankings.
Leading the way have been sophomore Sam Bernstein, junior Bradley Kushner and senior captain Jeffrey Hatten. Bernstein finished in second-place at last weekend's Macdonald Cup and Kushner was not far behind, in a tie for fourth place. All these players, along with freshman William Davenport, will be looking to push the Elis to the top of the leaderboard.
They will look first and foremost to improve on last year's result at the tournament: a tie for fifth place. The first round of play kicks off Saturday morning.
Report filed by James Lu '14, Yale Sports Publicity.

It's been a long time since the arrival of the previous PlayStation, needless to say, gaming fans are champing at the bit for the PS4. So here is the place where we bring you everything you need to now about the new PlayStaion including the PS4 release date, specs, features, functionality and more. See Xbox One vs PS4 games console comparison.
PS4 release date: when is the new PlayStation out?
As expected, Sony has set the PS4 release date in the UK and worldwide for just before Christmas 2013. The exact PlayStation 4 release date in the UK is 29 November 2013. This is the same for the rest of Europe, with North America getting the PS4 slightly earlier on the 15th of the same month. See also: PlayStation 4 price in UK: what will the PS4 cost?
How to Pre-order the PS4
Pre-ordering the PS4 really couldn't be easier – Sony has even built a dedicated PS4 pre-order page with links to all the major UK online retailers. Simply go to the PlayStation 4 pre-order page and select the retailer that you wish to purchase the games console via. Take a look at New Xbox One release date, features, UK price and specs.
The official line regarding delivery of the PlayStations is that they "may be received after release date". This is dependent on "sufficient inventory".
PS4 specs
• AMD x86-based 8-core CPU and an enhanced GPU
• Blu-ray, DVD and HDMI output
• 8GB of GDDR5 RAM
• 'Instant On' capability
• PS4 won't be backwards compatible with old games
• PS4 users will be able to stream PS3 and older generation games online
• PlayStation App" will enable iPhone, iPad, and Android based smartphones and tablets to become second screens
• PlayStation 4 Eye - 1280 x 800 camera (Xbox Kinect style feature)
PS4 Price in UK
The PlayStation 4 is going to hit the shelves in the UK with an initial price tag of £349. This undercuts its main rival, the Xbox One, by a pretty sizable £80 (22% cheaper). The two consoles are offering largely similar functionalities, with the main difference being that the Xbox One comes with the Kinect motion sensor as part of the package, whereas the PS4 requires you to buy this additionally. That said the PS4 price, even with it's Kinect equivalent the PlayStation Eye, will be cheaper than the Xbox One.
Will the PS4 be backwards compatible with PS3 games?
No, is the short answer to this. PS3 disks or digital downloads will not work natively with the PS4 console.
However, there are plans afoot to offer gamers the chance of a server-side emulation of PS3 games as well as the streaming of PS One, PS2 and PS3 games. A date for this has yet to be set.
Will GTA 5 be out on PS4?
We think so. Rockstar has yet to confirm this, but the GTA game developers have heavily hinted at such a release in 2014, with a note to investors saying that a further GTA 5 release would "help extend the value" of the game.
Continue on to the next page to see all our PS4 release date, specs and rumour round-up from before the launch. You can see how wildly inaccurate/accurate the internet was with its rumours.

DECATUR, Ga. -- Continuing his post-State of the Union tour, President Barack Obama today made an economic case for the early childhood initiatives he unveiled in his primetime speech, telling a crowd in this Atlanta suburb that investments in such programs are "a good bang for your educational buck."
The president's education proposals include national universal pre-school enrollment and a new collaboration between the federal Early Head Start program, which is focused on the development of very young low-income children, and childcare facilities.
And in his speech at a recreation center here, Obama singled out the nearby College Heights Early Childhood Learning Center, which he visited during his stop to the state, as an example of the types of state-federal partnerships that can boost the quality of life for low-income children well after preschool.
"The kids we saw today, that I had a chance to spend time with -- they're some of the lucky ones, because fewer than three in 10 four-year-olds are enrolled in a high-quality preschool program."
Evan Vucci / AP
President Barack Obama runs up the stairs as he arrives for a speech on education, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, at the Decatur Community Recreation Center in Decatur, Ga.
The president said that such early investment in the future of children -- of all economic levels -- leads to a more vibrant economy overall. "That's not just going to make sure that they do well. That will strengthen our economy and our country for all of us," he said.
He praised Georgia, one of only five states to have an official goal of full preschool enrollment, in his State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, saying the state "make[s] it a priority to educate our youngest children."
But Georgia, which made a commitment to universal pre-K in 1995, still only has about 60 percent enrollment, and has had to cut back funding and school days because of budget shortfalls -- the program is funded by lottery revenues which have slowed recently.
Twenty days of the pre-kindergarten year were removed this year due to budget cuts, which resulted in an exodus of qualified teachers. Now, Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) is proposing adding back 10 of those days according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Obama gave a nod to the state's difficulty in funding the program, saying that "even in times of tight budgets," Georgia and states like it have "worked to make a preschool slot available for nearly every parent who's looking for one for their child."
In terms of how the federal program would be funded, the Obama administration has not yet given specifics of how much its proposals would cost. The New Republic magazine speculated that the program might resemble one proposed by the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, whose preschool program costs $10 billion per year and Early Head Start-child care initiative would cost $10.5 billion per year.
But the program will be revenue-neutral, deputy National Economic Council director Jason Furman maintained yesterday, because it will not cost as much as the administration's spending cuts implemented last year.
In addition to laying out his vision for America's education future, President Obama also had a few words of advice for the parents of young children -- raising a few eyebrows as he seemed to suggest one of his daughters might have begun going on dates.
"I do have to warn the parents who are here who still have young kids, they grow up to be, like, 5 [feet] 10 [inches]. And even if they're still nice to you, they -- they basically don't have a lot of time for you during the weekends. They have sleepovers and dates. So all that early investment just leaves them to go away," he joked as the crowd laughed.

While the current season of The Walking Dead continues to break ratings records, they're already gearing up for the upcoming fourth season.

They also confirmed Scott M. Gimple as the new series showrunner and executive producer for the fourth season.
"Scott has been an essential part of this show since he came aboard at the very beginning of season two.

When it comes to improving the handling of your vehicle, there's nothing more important than the tires that connect you to the road. When it comes to your stereo, the same logic applies to your speakers – they're the only things that connect your ears to your music. The analogy continues – if you set your tire pressures properly, your car's handling can be further improved. The same goes for the installation of your speakers. The use of high-quality sound deadening materials is the perfect way to make your speakers sound better.
The folks at Wirez offer two sound deadening solutions – Premium Sound Deadening and the brand new Ultra Sound Deadening – that are both based on an elastomeric-butyl base material. This stuff adds mass to your doors and body panels to reduce vibration and noise. Wirez has put significant effort into ensuring this material not only performs well in terms of damping characteristics, but that it works just as well whether the vehicle is hot or cold. It also focuses on ensuring the sound deadening material remains adhered to the vehicle under all thermal conditions. If you've ever had sound deadening fall off a door, then you know what kind of mess that can be – Wirez is the cure!
Both the Premium and Ultra Sound Deadening products feature a bonded aluminum thermal barrier layer to further improve damping characteristics as well as add a thermal block to help keep the interior of your vehicle more comfortable. The aluminum layer has been carefully chosen to ensure Wirez sound deadening conforms to even the most complex curves yet adds stability to span open spaces in the vehicle. The Wirez' staff doesn't just develop products, they use them as well. To that end, they spent time choosing the correct thickness of the removable craft paper backing to ensure that installation is quick and simple. Backings that are too thin often tear when you are peeling them off.
What's the difference between the Premium and Ultra Sound Deadening? Well, Ultra goes a step further in terms of noise elimination with a quarter-inch viscoelastic foam membrane on top of the aluminum barrier. This membrane increases high frequency sound absorption, helping to improve system clarity and focus. Wirez Ultra Sound Deadening can be used behind speakers and in subwoofer enclosures to absorb some of the sound that is reflected off hard surfaces. With the same adhesion capabilities as the Premium product, using Ultra Sound Deadening for absorption is faster, more effective and safer than some of the other options on the market. Wirez Premium Sound Deadening is available in a two cubic-foot speaker kit (SDSK), 12 cubic-foot door kit (SDDK), 20 cubic-foot trunk kit (SDTK) and a 70 cubic-foot bulk kit (SDBKB). Wirez Ultra Sound Deadening is available in a 12 cubic-foot pack (SDSU-12).

WASHINGTON — The tax plan by Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum would cut taxes for most Americans while swelling the federal budget deficit by $900 billion in a single year, according to an independent study.
About 69 percent of households would get tax cuts averaging nearly $7,800, according analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.
Most of the tax cuts in Santorum's plan would go to the wealthiest households, according to the study. Those making more than $1 million would get tax cuts averaging nearly $442,000. Middle-income households making $50,000 to $75,000 would get tax cuts averaging about $2,062.
The price for the tax cuts is a staggering amount of debt at a time when Congress is struggling to rein in big budget deficits, said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
"These are huge numbers," he said.
Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, has set a goal of cutting $5 trillion in federal spending over five years, according to his campaign website. However, Congress has been struggling to cut a fraction of that amount. Last summer, lawmakers couldn't agree on a plan to cut $1.2 trillion in spending over the course of a decade.
Santorum's plan would reduce the number of income tax brackets from six to two, lowering the top rate from 35 percent to 28 percent while keeping the bottom rate at 10 percent. He would cut the corporate income tax in half for most companies — lowering it from 35 percent to 17.5 percent. He would eliminate the corporate tax for manufacturers.
His plan would triple the exemption that parents can claim for dependent children, cut the top tax rate on investment income from 15 percent to 12 percent, and retain tax breaks for charitable donations, mortgage interest and retirement savings.
Williams said the big tax cuts for the wealthy come mostly from lowering the top income tax rate while cutting taxes on investment income and the corporate income tax.
Santorum's plan, outlined on his campaign website, says he would eliminate "marriage tax penalties throughout the federal tax code." That, however, could lead to tax increases for about 1 percent of filers, mainly single parents who currently file as heads of households, Williams said.
Santorum's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.
The Tax Policy Center is a research group formed by two Washington think tanks: the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution. The center has analyzed the tax plans of all the major Republican candidates and found that all of them add to the budget deficit by promising big tax cuts.
The plan by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich would reduce revenues by $850 billion in a single year, and the plan by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would reduce revenues by $180 billion, according to the analyses.
All of the projections are based on the taxes households would pay in 2015, presumably the first year a new president could get a plan fully implemented.
The campaigns of both Gingrich and Romney have said their tax plans would lead to economic growth, which would increase tax revenues over the long term. Santorum's website also says his tax plan would promote economic growth.
Williams said the analysis of Santorum's plan is based largely on an outline of the tax plan on Santorum's campaign website. He said the Tax Policy Center asked the Santorum campaign to clarify the details of the tax plan but didn't receive a detailed response.

Commercial Drones Declared Legal; Release The Tacocopters
from the let's-get-this-going... dept
Current U.S. FAA regulations prevent ... using UAVs [Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, like drones] for commercial purposes at the moment.Well, that's no longer the case apparently. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) administrative law judge Patrick Geraghty has unleashed the tacocopters of the world by issuing a ruling that the FAA has no mandate to regulate commercial drones. The case involved the first time that the FAA had actually tried to fine someone, a guy named Raphael Pirker, $10,000 for trying to film a commercial with a drone at the University of Virginia.
The issue, basically, is that the FAA has historically exempted model airplanes from its rules, and the NTSB finds it impossible to square that with its attempt to now claim that drones are under its purview. As Geraghty notes, accepting that leads to absurd arguments about the FAA's mandate over all flying objects:
Complainant has, historically, in their policy notices, modified the term "aircraft" by prefixing the word "model", to distinguish the device/contrivance being considered. By affixing the word "model" to "aircraft" the reasonable inference is that Complainant FAA intended to distinguish and exclude model aircraft from either or both of the aforesaid definitions of "aircraft".The judge notes that while the FAA had some internal memorandum about these issues, it did not put forth a full rule, and thus it is not an actual policy. As a result, the ruling finds that the current definition of aircraft is not applicable here and thus the FAA has no real mandate over this kind of drone.
To accept Complainant's interpretive argument would lead to a conclusion that those definitions include as an aircraft all types of devices/contrivances intended for, or used for, flight in the air. The extension of that conclusion would then result in the risible argument that a flight in the air of, e.g., a paper aircraft, or a toy balsa wood glider, could subject the "operator" to the regulatory provisions of FAA Part 91, Section 91.13(a)....
..... The reasonable inference is not that FAA has overlooked the requirements, but, rather that FAA has distinguished model aircraft as a class excluded from the regulatory and statutory definitions.
This does not preclude the FAA from trying to go through a full rule-making process to try to gain a mandate over commercial drone use, but that will involve a big political fight. It's way easier to block something like that from becoming official than overturning it if it was already deemed the law.

|1872 Map of Cemetery
Oak Ridge Cemetery is located in the Illinois capitol city of Springfield. Founded in 1855, the name was suggested by Mayor John C.Cook because of the large standoff oaks on the original property. Several of those trees remain standing today. The cemetery was dedicated on May 24, 1860.
Oak Ridge was landscaped and designed in Classical Revival and Romanesque styles. Primarily known for President Abraham Lincoln's tomb, Oak Ridge is so much more. The hilly land consists of bluffs and valleys, with 12 miles of paved roads that meander throughout over 300 acres. Oak Ridge is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
|Lincoln's Tomb
|Rubbing Lincoln's Nose
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, is the most famous person buried here. Because of this, Oak Ridge is the second most visited cemetery in the U.S. (Arlington National Cemetery is first.) Lincoln's 117-foot Tomb was designed by sculptor Larkin Mead. It was built of brick covered with granite. Four bronze sculptures surround the tomb. Each sculpture represents one of the four armed services in the Civil War; infantry, cavalry, navy and artillery. At the entrance of the tomb is a bronze head of Abraham Lincoln. The nose is shiny due to tourists rubbing it for good luck.
|Lincoln's Funeral held at Receiving Vault
|Tomb Rotunda
Once inside the tomb, a marble rotunda contains statues of Lincoln, along with plaques that contain excerpts from his most famous speeches. There are two doorways in the rotunda – one to enter the tomb by, and the other to exit by. In the tomb itself, a granite monument marks the gravesite. Lincoln, his wife and sons are in crypts located in the south wall. The receiving vault, where Lincoln's body was held until the monument was built is located at the bottom of the hill, behind the monument.

|Nicholas Vachel Lindssey
Others buried in Oak Ridge include Illinois poet Nicholas Vachel Lindsey, considered the originator of poetry as performance art. Lindsey was one of the best-known poets of the 1920's and 1930's in the U.S. Lindsey apparently committed suicide by drinking a bottle of lye. He was well known for his poems 'The Congo' and 'Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight.'
|Shelby M. Cullom's Grave
(Courtesy of Connie Nisinger)
|Governor Shelby M. Cullom
Many Illinois politicians, congressmen, senators and governors, including Governor Shelby Moore Cullom, known as 'Mr. Republican.' Cullom held almost every elective office including two terms in the Illinois House of Representatives three in the U.S. House of Representatives and five terms in the U.S. Senate.
|Governor John Riley Tanner
|Tanner's Mausoleum
The 21st Governor of Illinois, John Riley Tanner, is also buried here, along with numerous Civil War generals. Lincoln's first law partner, John T. Stuart is also buried in Oak Ridge.
|Roy Bertelli's Controversial Grave
And, not to be missed is the controversial grave of Roy Bertelli, known as Mr. Accordion.
|G.A.R. Memorial
There are several war monuments in Oak Ridge. Memorials exist for the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.), World War Two, the Korean War, and Illinois Vietnam Veterans.
If you go to Springfield, don't miss Oak Ridge Cemetery. A visit to Lincoln's Tomb is a must, but don't stop there. Plan half a day and enjoy the beautiful rolling hills, amazing sculpture and pleasantly designed grounds. Stop by the cemetery office, at the front gate, for a map. You can also purchase a CD that will guide you on an audio tour of the cemetery and many of its fascinating stones.
Oak Ridge Cemetery is located at 1441 Monument Avenue in Springfield. You may contact them by phone at (217) 789-2340. Or visit the cemetery's web sit at http://www.oakridgecemetery.org.

Abraham Lincoln Walks at Midnight by Vachel Lindsay
In Springfield, Illinois
IT is portentious, and a thing of state
A mourning figure walks, and will not rest,
Near the old court-house, pacing up and down.
Or by his homestead, or by shadowed yards
He lingers where his children used to play,
Or through the market, on the well-worn stones
He stalks until the dawn-stars burn away.
A bronzed, lank man! His suit of ancient black,
A famous high top-hat, and plain worn shawl
Make him the quaint, great figure that men love,
The prairie-lawyer, master of us all.
He cannot sleep upon his hillside now.
He is among us:--as in times before!
And we who toss or lie awake for long
His head is bowed. He thinks on men and kings.
Yea, when the sick world cries, how can he sleep?
Too many peasants fight, they know not why,
Too many homesteads in black terror weep.
The sins of all the war-lords burn his heart.
He sees the dreadnaughts scouring every main.
He carries on his shawl-wrapped shoulders now
The bitterness, the folly and the pain.
He cannot rest until a spirit-dawn
Shall come:--the shining hope of Europe free:
The league of sober folk, the Workers' Earth,
Bringing long peace to Cornland, Alp and Sea.
It breaks his heart that kings must murder still,
That all his hours of travail here for men
Seem yet in vain. And who will bring white peace
That he may sleep upon his hill again?

Walking our Talk
To build movements that can transform society – including its power relations – requires transformational work in the training. We work with movements whose activists are at very high risk of injury and death from police and security forces. The very minimal emotional risk we see in doing transformational work is worth taking when seen in the context of what social movements around the world do every day. The transformational opening, as we see it, is to go beneath the surface of talk going on in a workshop. The goal? Empowerment. We do transformational work only when the group has grown cohesive enough to support it, and when we sense a strong motivation for breaking through limits to activist effectiveness.
The charismatic leader
Charismatic leadership has made enormous contributions to social change and even egalitarians often have heroes like Aung Sang Suu Kyi and Martin Luther King. The downside of dependence on such leaders is, however, obvious. Sometimes skill-building activist workshops can address the leadership issue, if the facilitator is alert and waits patiently for what we call 'the teachable moment'.
In Asia a charismatic religious figure was leading a campaign to save the regional rainforests; his style of leadership was to think things out and call the shots. One practical difficulty with his style was that the movement was heavily dependent on him and he was at that time at risk of imprisonment or assassination. I went into the forest to facilitate a campaign strategy workshop for him and his group.
The teachable moment came a couple of days into the workshop when one villager, reporting for his small discussion group, acknowledged that his report was scanty. He accounted for the poor quality of the report by saying: 'I've never thought for myself – I've only done what the leader tells me to.' To me, it was as if a bell rang and I thought I saw reverberations in the group as well. So I asked a series of questions to help them think about the possible benefits of shared strategic thinking. It was delicate work because leader/follower balances can be heavily charged.
The group came to the view that it would like to participate in strategic thinking with the leader, and the leader said he could see the value of that, I challenged the group to show with their bodies their new commitment by sitting close to the leader (who habitually had deference space around his person). They did, half expecting lightning to strike – and I fully expected lightning to strike because I was taking such a risk in cultural dynamics.
Once they'd done the moving around, the relaxation of tension was palpable. Smiles started to appear. About the new arrangement the leader said, poignantly: 'I don't feel so alone.'
A new relationship had emerged which enabled the leader to ask the question which had been tacitly hanging over everyone's heads for the entire workshop: 'What will this movement do if I am jailed or killed?' The group had by then grown to the point that it could start to answer that question.
The invisible woman
It was Sunday morning in a weekend workshop in the US. Only a short way into the part of the workshop we call Open Sharing, an Asian American woman began to speak about her experience of invisibility in the workshop session the previous evening. It had reminded her vividly of the invisibility which is characteristic of the oppression of Asian Americans in the larger society. I encouraged her to express herself as strongly as she felt, and she did so, with tears and storming. Aware that the listeners might shut down from guilt, I assisted the group to make connections not only to their own pain but also to the dynamics they are likely to encounter in doing social-change work. It turned out, in debriefing, that others in the group remembered 'losing their voices' at times in their lives and found inspiration in watching someone stand up for herself so powerfully. The impromptu 'speak-out' was not only transformational for the Asian American woman but became a vivid metaphor to anchor the remaining work of the workshop.
Gandhi expected truth to be uncovered through action. He expected truth to unfold in the interactive process, including the process of confrontation.
My colleagues and I are constantly inventing training tools which will bring the group's issues to the surface. We can't know ahead of time precisely what will emerge, but we know it will include perceptions of truth. Then it's our job as facilitators to assist the group to take its next step on the journey, knowing that enormous resources are present within people in the circle.
What reassures us is that this approach to training works with rural villagers in Thailand and anarchists in London, Russian graduate students and African National Congress cadres, US coal miners and Cambodian monks. Perhaps it travels so well across lines of culture and class because the design is based on a simple imperative: respect.

DavidsTea vs Teavana
Thanks for all the feedback. Now I guess I'll wait and see what Starbucks' acquisition of Teavana means. :)
Reading these, I'm sorry there is no David's Tea near me. Maybe now that Starbucks bought Teavana, since they already have umpteen locations nearby, they'll vacate that spot in the Mall and David's can take it over.
:( The closest DT is like 3-4 hours away from me, too broke to drive there, and since I have had trouble ordering online, (Long story.) that's out as well. Unless I can get someone in my family to get me a DT gift box or be willing to pay for it online and I'll pay them back….trying their teas will have to wait.
Teavana's: All my experiences with Teavana's has been good. (Though the last time I was in there I overspent, though that was my fault, not theirs.) I am not interested in buying any of the tea wares, because I already guessed the quality wouldn't be good, though if I win the lottery or something then I might buy some stuff for the hell of it. I like quite a few of their blends, though while I was reading about the Starbucks acquiring Teavana's, I thought that if Teavana's ends up going under or for whatever reason I decide to stop shopping with them….I don't think I would miss them a bunch. But am going to continue shopping with them because they are convenient.
I have been shopping at Teavanna for a few years now and only made my first order with David's recently. I have been liking Teavanna less and less for a number of reasons that have been mentioned and one that I didn't see yet… they discontinue teas regularly and it's heartbreaking. Three of my favorites are now gone and I'm waiting for them to yank my last favorite out from under me. After the last one is gone, I really don't have any motivation to continue shopping there and will explore other companies.
Davids regularly discontinues teas as well which I find quite traumatic BUT they've started making all of the discontinued ones available as online exclusives which is something. : )
You know, I would take it! Once I know I like a tea I'd be fine with buying online and in larger quantity. I don't like to buy new teas online because I have no idea what I'm spending my money on or if I'll end up liking it.
Alot of stores tend to do that, Bath and Body Works does. Sometimes it drives my buggy but I try to take it in stride and try out other teas.
I have had limited experience with Teavana.. but I've been offered samples a few times and HATE that they sweeten their tea samples. I've never really gotten over that enough to go in and try one their teas.
I am a DAVIDs girl.. I like their selection and their innovation. I have found some of the staff in one of the Vancouver locations acting very fake, yelling "holla" or "hello gorgeous" when people come into the store. Despite that, I've continued to visit and my tea stash from them has grown.
I was reading this thread and 2 teavana-esque moments came up when I visited DAVIDs yesterday. I had a very friendly trainee attend to me yesterday.. but:
(1) She overpoured my tea. While she did ask if it was ok… I couldn't shake the similarity of the Teavana overpour strategy.
(2) When checking out my single bag of tea, she asked if I was going to have a hot tea to go. Upselling? Maybe.. maybe not…
Here's the thing. I have had good experiences at DAVIDs tea and will continue to shop there. I'm willing to overlook this experience as a "one time experience". If they however, are starting to turn to the "sneaky" Teavana strategies, then I will start to order online.
Please DAVIDs… keep doing what you're doing!
I did have the clerk as me if I wanted a drink to go at my recent David's trip, as well as showing me about a million teas I wasn't interested in. I also wondered at first if they were adopting more aggressive sales tactics, but ended up chalking it up to an excited/friendly employee.
I hear you with the overpouring… A few weeks back I ended up with a bag that was 16 grams over what I had asked for. By the time I had realized it, I had already paid. The sales associate offered to pour some out and adjust the price but I just didn't feel it was worth the effort at that point and just left. I would agree with everyone here and say that my experiences with David's Tea are overwhelmingly positive! I find it helps if you are very clear with the sales associate before they start scooping out the tea. There is one fellow at my local location who knows me and is extra careful when scooping out my tea (I get a lot of 12 gram samples an extra few grams here and there can add up); he is wonderful! I hope that his attention to detail catches on with the rest of the staff!
Recently at David's I wanted to try a tea, so decided to get a cup to go. The sales person just gave it to me. I was so shocked! I didn't end up buying any of it, but it's on my list as a possibility.
If I really wanted tea fast then DT even by mail gets to me faster than any other online tea person just because they are Canadian and I'm in Canada so there's less hassle :D However I do know some teas will give my mom a headache and I can't have any DT in the house (except pumpkin chai) or it's migraines for her. I have had some other teas from other places that have the same effect. Which is why I keep my shopping to the vendors I know won't cause her any issues :D She can't be anywhere near a DT store either. Poor Mom….
I think that would drive me insane!
I recently started going to DavidsTea in San Francisco and I'm pretty impressed. While Lupicia is still my go-to place for flavored black teas, DT has some interesting blends – I like the red velvet cake and toasted marshmallow ones in particular. Staff were nice and not pushy. They were fine with me only buying one ounce.
Teavana always seemed too gimmicky for me, plus the horror stories put me right off them.
Right now my "cabinet" consists of piles on my counters, stuff piled on a shelf and next to the shelf, and a big mess in the dining room. No way I'm taking pictures of that mess!
But I recently ordered a cabinet for the kitchen – rustic and still relatively small, but I'm excited for it. Maybe it will help me organize the big piles of mess! I'll post pics once it's up and loaded. :)

Syringa villosa
Popular Hedge Species!
Villosa Lilac, aka Late Lilac, is a relatively large and cold hardy shrub with excellent privacy and wind protection as well as fragrant flowers.
Its mauve flowers grow in clusters at the end of its branches during mid to late summer and fade to a light pink as it matures. Villosa Lilac grows quickly and is very drought resistant, making it most suitable for the outer row of a shelterbelt. Its roots are non-suckering and it does not compete with nearby crops which makes it a lower maintenance hedge.
This species is also known as one of the more salt-tolerant species for those with saline soils.
The dense growth habit of the Villosa is well suited for providing both wind and snow protection. It provides habitat for birds and small mammals. Lilac species are rated excellent for pollen availability too. The attractive whitish, lavender blooms add beauty to wherever it is planted.
Many people alternate villosa and common purple lilacs to create the impression that the hedge is in flower for almost a full month.

Probate records are court records created after an individual's death that relate to a court's decisions regarding the distribution of the estate to the heirs or creditors and the care of any dependents. You may find the names of married daughters or other relatives and their residences; or information about the adoption or guardianship of minor children and dependents. Probate records do not always give an exact date of death, but the death usually occurred within a few months of probate. These documents are important to family history researchers because they usually exist for time periods before civil birth and death records were kept.
The Pickett County Court has responsibility for the probate records.

The Avoca Group's latest data on the outsourcing relationship between biopharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations (CROs) shows that both sponsors and providers report significantly higher satisfaction with their clinical outsourcing relationships—the highest since 2006. These findings, first reported in Pharm Exec's March issue, are welcome news—but they led us to probe for a closer look beyond the numbers. What explains the uptick in satisfaction after years of increasing dissatisfaction? Are the numbers likely to be sustained in the future? What practical information can biopharmaceutical executives take away in managing the relationship with CROs?
What's Behind the Satisfaction Turnaround?With biopharmaceutical companies' satisfaction at a low ebb in 2009, it was no surprise that most survey respondents reported that their companies were planning on making internal changes to improve their outsourcing relationships. The planned changes centered on the following areas:
» Focusing on fewer, more strategic outsourcing relationships;
» Increasing investment in more formal approaches (metrics) to evaluate and manage these relationships; and
»Improving information-sharing internally and externally.

Most of us here like gadgets. Things with displays, LEDs, or stuff that otherwise lights up in the dark and makes cool noises. There is this one gadget I had been waiting for to come out in The Netherlands for quite a while now, but at some point a limit was reached, and today I decided to do a complete 180 and buy a competing product.

By "getting one" I mean next year some time but it's the first device that's made me want to combine PDA and phone while also being a fantastic upgrade to my N810. With Nokia allowing carriers to customize there units, I just hope the Nokia direct sale price comes down to my budget range sooner than my patience drives me to sign a contract and accept a branded box. (hm.. if I do accept a branded box, I'll have to see if I can just hit it with the Nokia clean firmware image)

Some people may need medicine for a while to help them
fall asleep. Doctors often prescribe medicine for a short time if other
treatment isn't working. But medicine doesn't work as well over time as
lifestyle and behavior changes do. Sleep medicine can
also become habit-forming. Medicine works best as a short-term treatment
combined with lifestyle and behavior changes.
provide short-term relief from insomnia. These medicines help you fall asleep
and stay asleep. Examples are diazepam (such as Valium), lorazepam (Ativan), and quazepam (Doral). Side effects of benzodiazepines can include:
Benzodiazepines make it hard to recall memories. They also
seem to affect how much of the hormone
melatonin your body makes at night. Melatonin helps
you sleep and wake up on a regular schedule.

Childcare training programs are offered throughout the year, and as a daycare provider, it is important that your staff take advantage of these opportunities. Many states require each daycare facility to have a certain number of hours of childcare training in order for the facility to remain licensed. This is something not to be taken lightly. Though it may be expensive to provide this training for your staff, the fines for not following the state's rules and regulations can be high and may result in the closure of your facility. Even if you are an in-home daycare provider, it is important to check out your state's guidelines because many of them will still require you to enroll in a childcare training program before you are allowed to open your business.
Childcare training programs are necessary to help the employees and the facility provide the best quality care. After all, you probably didn't get in the business of providing childcare because you wanted to sit around all day! Children are active and curious, and in order to keep up with them and foster a love for learning, your staff has to be up to date on providing proper care.
The type of childcare training programs available for your staff will vary depending on what age group is being cared for. More than likely everyone will need to learn about the basics of running a childcare facility and the importance of health and nutrition. Child growth and behaviors will probably be a part of childcare training programs, too. If an employee works with a specific age group, then classes will be available to help create developmental activities suited for that age group. As always, check your state's Family and Children Department of Services to find a list of requirements, classes, and availability.
