A barnacle-encrusted wing half that washed up on a distant Indian Ocean island may assist clear up considered one of aviation's greatest mysteries, as investigators work to attach it to the Malaysia Airlines flight that vanished greater than 12 months ago.
The shock discovery of the particles on a rocky beach stirred hopes and emotion among families of the missing, after a yr and a half of grieving and frustration at an absence of solutions, despite a large, deep and costly multinational search effort in the southern Indian Ocean, the China Sea and the Gulf of Thailand.
Even if it is confirmed to be a long-awaited first clue to the disappearance of Flight 370, there is no guarantee investigators can nonetheless find the airplane's recorders or different remains.
French authorities moved the aircraft piece from the seashore to the local airport on Reunion, and can send it next to the town of Toulouse, the place it might arrive Saturday morning, according to the Paris prosecutor's office.
Toulouse is the hub of Europe's aerospace business, with the headquarters of Airbus and a community of hangars and plane facilities. The airplane part will be analyzed in particular protection services used for airplane testing and evaluation, in keeping with the Defense Ministry.
Air safety investigators, including one from Boeing, have identified the element found on the French island of Reunion as a "flaperon" from the trailing edge of a Boeing 777 wing, a U.S. official said. The official wasn't authorized to be publicly named.
Flight 370, which disappeared March eight, 2014, with 239 people on board, is the one 777 identified to be missing. The unsuccessful seek for the aircraft has raised considerations worldwide about whether or not airliners ought to be required to transmit their locations frequently through satellite, especially when flying long distances over the ocean.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, whose country is leading the search for the aircraft in a remote patch of ocean far off Australia's west coast, expressed hope Friday that the part would assist resolve the baffling thriller that has left the households of these on board in an agonizing limbo.
"Nothing has been confirmed, but obviously this is, by far, probably the most encouraging sign thus far," Abbott informed Sydney radio station 2SM. "We've got lengthy thought it went down someplace within the Indian Ocean and, ultimately, it appears that evidently we may be on the verge of some confirmation."
If it seems to be part of the Malaysian aircraft, that would bolster the theory that the airplane deviated from its path between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing and turned south into the Indian Ocean. And it could put to relaxation speculation that it could have traveled north or landed somewhere after being hijacked.
The invention has changed the lifetime of Reunion environmental employee Johnny Begue. He told The Associated Press that he stumbled across the plane half on Wednesday morning, whereas amassing stones to grind spices.
"I knew instantly it was a part of an plane, however I did not realize how essential it was, that it could help to solve the thriller of what happened to the Malaysian jet," Begue, 46, instructed The Associated Press.
He said he referred to as a number of of his workmates and they carried the wing fragment out of the water in order that it will not be battered by the surf against the volcanic rocks that make up a lot of the beach.
Begue additionally found a bit of a suitcase about 2.5 meters away, he said, although it is unclear whether there may be any hyperlink to the aircraft wing.
Authorities wouldn't remark Thursday on whether Begue was the primary to report discovering the component. Colleague Teddy Riviere corroborated his account, and praised him for the discovery. Members of Begue's soccer staff kidded him on his new fame in local media.
Australian officers expressed skepticism on Friday that the suitcase was associated with the wing part. Australian Transport Minister Warren Truss noted that there didn't seem like any marine life attached to the suitcase, indicating it probably hadn't been in the water for long.
The wing piece is about 2 meters (6 toes) long. Investigators have discovered a quantity on the half, but it's not a serial or registration number, Truss said. It could possibly be a maintenance number, which can assist investigators determine what plane it belongs to, he said.
Malaysian authorities additionally headed to Reunion and Toulouse.
"We've had many false alarms earlier than, but for the sake of the households who've misplaced loved ones, and suffered such heartbreaking uncertainty, I pray that we are going to find out the reality in order that they could have closure and peace," Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a statement.
French law enforcement authorities are on Reunion island to examine the piece, in line with an official near the investigation of the debris. A French regulation enforcement helicopter is scouring the waters around the island in hopes of spotting more particles, and U.S. investigators are analyzing a photograph of the debris.
The wing half was found on a desolate, rocky seaside in the small town of Saint-Andre and was transferred to the civil aviation authority's places of work within the island's principal airport, an area police official said.
Flaperons are positioned on the rear fringe of both wings, about midway between the fuselage and the tips. When the plane is banking, the flaperon on one wing tilts up and the opposite tilts down, which makes the aircraft roll to the left or proper because it turns.
The piece might assist investigators work out how the aircraft crashed, however whether it'll assist search crews pinpoint the rest of the wreckage is unclear, given the complexity of the currents in the southern Indian Ocean and the time that has elapsed for the reason that airplane disappeared.
The final major radar contact with Flight 370 placed its place over the Andaman Sea about 370 kilometers (230 miles) northwest of the Malaysian metropolis of Penang. Reunion is about 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) southwest of Penang, and about 4,200 kilometers (2,600 miles) west of the present search area.
Officers predicted that Indian Ocean currents would ultimately carry any floating debris from the plane to the east coast of Africa. However specialists say it will be difficult if not inconceivable to hint these currents again to the exact location of the primary wreckage, given the length of time that has elapsed and the huge distance the part might have traveled.
There's precedence for large objects traveling huge distances throughout the Indian Ocean. Final 12 months, a man lost his boat off the Western Australia coast after it overturned in tough seas. Eight months later, the boat turned up off the French island of Mayotte, west of Madagascar – 7,four hundred kilometers (4,600 miles) from where it disappeared.
The discovery is unlikely to change the seabed search, mentioned Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan, who's heading up the hunt. Dolan said search assets can be higher spent continuing the seabed search with sonar and video for wreckage slightly than reviving a floor search for debris if the part proved to be from Flight 370.
If the part belongs to Flight 370, it may provide priceless clues to investigators making an attempt to determine what induced the aircraft to fade within the first place, mentioned Jason Middleton, an aviation professor on the University of New South Wales in Sydney. The nature of the injury to the debris may help indicate whether the airplane broke up within the air or when it hit the water, and how violently it did so, he said.
The barnacles attached to the part may also help marine biologists determine roughly how lengthy it has been in the water, he said.
But the sister of a Flight 370 passenger says she is skeptical of the new find.
"It has been multiple year, and now they claim to have discovered debris of MH370 on an island? We do not settle for this. We do not consider what they claim. The finding does not represent anything," Dai Shuqin informed The Associated Press. Her sister Dai Shuling and five members of her household had been on the plane.
Over the past sixteen months, hopes have repeatedly been raised after which dashed that the aircraft, or elements of the airplane, had been found. In the end, none of them had been from Flight 370.

Can't fit another volunteer assignment into your schedule? The City of San Antonio Animal Care Services' Facility and Pet Pantry accepts donations to help care for our impounded animals.
The ACS Foster Program needs you! ACS needs your heart and your home to care for one of our shelter's orphaned animals. Your generosity will provide young and old, injured and sick, abused and under socialized animals a chance to grow or heal before finding forever homes. Every Foster makes a difference in the lives of our shelter pets!
Being a Foster helps us to create space in the shelter to accommodate other homeless animals. Animals in the Foster Program provide companionship and purpose- your act of kindness is repaid in rewards that are beyond words. Did you find some kittens and are unsure what to do with them? Watch this video here for more info!
Animals needing a temporary home and a Foster include:
We are always in need of animal lovers who can volunteer their time to bathe, groom, walk and socialize with our furry companions. However, we also need volunteers to help in other ways as well; including groundwork, administrative work, off-site events, photography, laundry and much, much more. Volunteers enable us to give our animals the care and attention they need and deserve. We could not do it without their help!
If you are interested in volunteering, please complete the Volunteer Application. When you application is received, the Volunteer Coordinator will contact you by email with the upcoming orientation dates. Orientations last approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
All onsite volunteers must complete a background check. The following offenses will exclude you from our volunteer program:

To anyone that wants to read my novel but hasn't got around to buying it yet, I just want to give you a heads up and say that between 29th – 31st October, Forgotten will be free. Please put it in your diaries and spread the word!
But, rather than just talk about my novel, I am going to do something a little different in this post because I would like to pay it forward and tell you about several other authors that have said that they are putting one of their books free as well. So, check out these books between Monday – Wednesday and grab any (or all) that you're interested in.
Since this is my blog, I'm up first followed by the others that I know about:
Forgotten (In The Shadows, Book One) By Catherine Gardiner (4*Star Rating)
Wings of Shadow (The Underground Trilogy) By Anna Kyss (4.6* Star Rating)
Dollhouse (The Dollhouse Trilogy) By Anya Allyn (4.5* Star Rating)

I hope that you enjoy any of the above books you decide to download. Other than my own, which will be free on all Amazon Kindle Stores, I can't guarantee the others that I have listed will be. I do apologize for any inconvenience caused in advance.
This week has had a couple of things happen that I think is great news, especially for authors and readers that use Kindle.
First up is the news that now the Japanese Amazon has its own Kindle Store. You can find my book here and it is currently priced at ¥100. Welcome to the Kindle family, Japan!
The second bit of news is that now, if you are a Prime member, you can borrow many titles (including mine) for a month for free if you're in the UK, Germany or France. The benefit of Prime has been available in the US for a long time, but I think it's marvelous that it's being rolled out to other countries now.
Happy Reading and have a safe and joyful Halloween!

For a pretty long time, I've been sitting on a lot of music I've done for various projects that for one reason or another never saw the light of day. Recently I was encouraged by some jerks to put it all out there.
I'm planning on doing more original music in the near future, so I figure it's cathartic or something to release a collection of what I've done, to start looking to the future or whatever. Some tracks have been released before, for free, and they will be downloadable individually free. I'm just including them for completeness!
I'm putting together this collection, cleverly called "The danny B-Sides" and it will release some time in April. But I wanted to put in some demos to show you what it's all about.
Lovely album art by the lovely Chris Arredondo.
Keep in mind, some of these are really old. In many cases these aren't meant to be representative of my current production quality. It's more that I thought it might be interesting for people to hear my progression over the last few years. Most of these will be pre-Super Meat Boy, and some even pre-Canabalt.
Enough blabbertalk, here are the demos! They are just rough, unlooped previews. The final version will be nice and volume-leveled and looped/faded.
The first is music from an iOS game I did years ago that never came out. It was for the tutorial section where a robot taught you how to box.
Next up is a high-energy track I was working on for a racing game by Adam Atomic.
Finally, I worked on a game called "Liferaft" with the friendly friends at Mikengreg. You may know Greg from Mikengreg as the brilliant artist behind Ridiculous Fishing, the best game ever made for stuff ever.
I hope you liked them! Again, the album will release sometime in April, I'll announce an actual date soon. It'll be on Bandcamp, iTunes, all that jazz. It will be a few dollars, and will contain quite a bit of music (final count announced soon!).
Anyways, hope your day is going well. Be sure to do that thing you have been putting off, drink lots of water and vote your conscience.

Increase in breast size is possible by means of implants. It is essentially a day care procedure and you can go home the same day. Breast augmentation is suitable for women who perceive their breasts as being too small, either because they have never had full development of breast tissue, or as a result of the loss of breast tissue that sometimes occurs after pregnancy and breast-feeding. Small breasts may also be due to massive weight loss. If breast sagging accompanies small breast volume, a breast uplift operation, Mastopexy, may be required. It involves the small breast being made larger by the insertion of a pre-formed 'gelatin-like' material implant, into a pocket behind each breast, through a small incision.
The implant is placed either above or below the pectoralis muscle that covers the ribcage. The texture of the implant is very similar to the natural feel of the breast. The size of the implant can vary, according to the wishes of the patient and the advice of the surgeon. However, the size selected is based on the degree of stretch within the breast and the amount of breast tissue available to accommodate the implant. The patient's general physique and stature is also taken into account.

America's favorite trailer trash has been roundly denounced and derided to the point where it has become fashionable to defend her. Having overdone our criticism of this model of a sex kitten-mother-girl-woman, we must now critique the critics for piling on the misogyny.
Besides the important lesson that sloppy parenting is best done in private, Britney also teaches us a lot about art. Even if one knows nothing about dance or fashion, watching Britney's performance at MTV's 2007 award show makes it easy to understand what is meant by dance that is bad and fashion that is tacky.
PS - To the contrarian music critics who praise Spears' new album as a musical triumph — you are wrong.

text: From the 1967 film "Teenage Rebellion" comes the now campy and humorous track "The Gay Teenager," narrated by movie director and announcer Burt Topper. He did not direct this film though; that was Mike Curb, future Lieutenant Governor of California. I could not find this on Youtube, so thought that was overdue.

World Bulletin/News Desk
An overwhelming majority of French people believe President Francois Hollande's government will fail to reduce record high unemployment this year, a poll showed on Friday.
The government is clinging to the Socialist leader's pledge to revert a relentless unemployment rise even as data showed on Thursday that more people were jobless than any time on record, with the country on the edge of recession.
In the BVA poll, just 5 percent expected unemployment to drop this year, while a third of respondents reckoned it would take more than 3 years to see the fall promised by Hollande, whose popularity rating is the lowest of all French presidents of the past half-century.
Even among left-winger voters who might be expected to give Hollande the benefit of the doubt, only 10 percent believed the target he has set is achievable.
Overall, 49 percent of respondents think the government's policies are making things worse and a mere 10 percent believe they are helping.
That 49 percent disapproval rate, said BVA - one of France's top pollsters, was twice as big as the number of voters that held a similar view of Nicolas Sarkozy, Hollande's conservative predecessor, in a survey back in February 2009, at a time when many thought the world was plunging into a 1930s-like depression.
Hollande's government, which took power in May 2012, was recently forced to slash its forecast for economic growth this year from 0.8 to 0.1 percent. The International Monetary Fund and most analysts see a slight contraction.Last Mod: 27 Nisan 2013, 08:39

Everybody knows that Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important for your website, whether your users are consumers or businesses, but how to optimize your website site seems to be the question with many confusing answers. In this post, we outline what we have learned from SEO experts such as Joost de Valk and Aaron Wall. Since we use WordPress almost exclusively, one of the first plugins we add to any site is WordPress SEO, authored by de Valk, aka Yoast, who posted also The Definitive Guide To Higher Rankings For WordPress Sites.
As Yoast and others have made clear, the title of your page is one of the single most important factors in determining how the page ranks in search results displayed by Google and other search engines. You have 70 characters to work with, whcih should include some branding…
- "…write a clear compelling offer that contains your keywords and describes your services."
- "Good titles evoke an emotional response, ask a question, or promise something (that the landing page fulfills)."
- "You also should not use the same keyword at or near the start of every page title."

I recently was lucky enough to travel abroad for the first time, in which 3 of the countries I visited spoke a foreign language that I was not any more familiar with than knowing the quintessential hello, thank you, and goodbye. Without access to cell phone data, I was forced to rely heavily on intuition and signage.
I took a particular interest while abroad in the types of signage I saw regarding transportation. Living in an urban city, in an English-speaking country, it is seldom that I consciously acknowledge that my day to day job as an interactive designer requires me to not just design for fellow Americans who predominantly speak English, but for other languages and cultures as well.
I quickly understood that signs were my best friends. If you're lucky large transportation buildings, such as airports and main train stations, will provide signs with English on the bottom. When you're not as lucky, you'll be following a path of arrows until you finally reach your destination. This is why basic symbolism is the easiest way to communicate a message, but to be fair, it doesn't always create the easiest user experience.
Mastering a foreign countries' transit system is just about one of the greatest successes a traveler can experience. Every country is a little different than the next, and it's a maze of train lines, bus stops, transfers, timed arrivals, new sounds, and the fear of pickpockets. It's now essential to understand where you're going to avoid getting lost and to stay safe. So I've gone ahead and pointed out some pros and cons to specific train lines signage.
Signage Pros
Almost all line signage displays the same or similar attributes, such as arrows leading to a specific train platform, train line name and stop name, arrows indicating transit route and next stops, circles indicating transfer points, and sometime signs that indicate the next train arrival time – all meant to communicate an easier travel path.
Barcelona's signage is designed really well, making it quite easy to understand. There are a few things that really bring out the successful communication design.
Following the transit pattern above, they assign a specific color to a certain rail line, and their line map has a white bar that fills in with the line color for the stops the train has already passed, a "progress bar" if you will. The stop you're boarding at is highlighted with the line color, and there are circles indicating transfer points. This creates a clear story for an individual.
According to the image we're waiting at "Urgell" which is highlighted red, and we're going in the direction of "Universitat". We know this because the color for that stop is still white. At Universitat we can make transfers to the L2 line, and we'll find an information desk as well. This is a great example of communication design leading to a positive user experience.
Signage Cons
However, as discussed, sometimes signage isn't as direct as it should be, and symbols get interpreted differently, or it isn't read correctly. This could happen due to incorrect use of icons, improper placement of text, or clutter.
Rome's bus system is a bit more complicated than the others. The signage almost follows the same transit pattern as discussed before. Highlighting the bus line name or number, as well as an arrow showing the direction the bus is traveling. The stop name is highlighted, and transfers are shown in icons next to the stop name. So what makes it more complicated?
Often times when the arrow is facing north, someone will interpret that the bus is traveling in that direction of the street, not necessarily that it's following that direction in stops, leaving an individual unsure of the appropriate side of the street to board the bus. On occasion, a stop might have two drop off points (2 fermate). If you're not familiar with the language this is not clear as the drop off points are often not labeled separately. The text is also misaligned when it comes to street names that carry over on a second line; those actually appear as if they are a second drop off point, which they're not. These elements create a disconnect in communication, which obstructs the experience between the "user" and the signage, creating poor user experience and often an added struggle in the commute.
Understanding the Importance
Coming back to America I instantly noticed things we could improve upon through our transit system to cater more towards tourists, especially to those who are less familiar with English. I also noticed things we're doing well that other countries haven't adopted yet. But ultimately I've learned communication design is situational, cultural, and global, and it's important to understand when to design accordingly. All the bits and pieces play a huge role in the message. The wrong coloring, placement of a word, or icon use, can completely disrupt an individual's experience, and when it comes to a commute, put them at risk for getting lost, or jeopardize their safety.
The ultimate take away for any communication design is to reduce the clutter. When you break a message down to the simplest form, clean design and basic icons, you're creating the easiest user flow and the best user experience no matter what the situation, whether it be at home, or in a foreign country. If you're questioning it, it's not simple enough. Always remember your audience, and don't be afraid to go back to the drawing board.

Ronald "Carl" Giles, best known by his last name only, was a British cartoonist best known for his long running eponymous strip in the Daily Express. He started working in 1937 for the Reynolds News, but moved to the Daily Express in 1943 and remained there until 1991.
The format of Giles, the strip, was a single panel, illustrated with astonishing amounts of detail. In addition to the main joke, there were often numerous sight gags in the elaborate backgrounds. The strips were usually topical, relating to current news stories. The cartoonist's most famous creation was the Giles Family, a large family presided over by a tyrannical matriarch known simply as Grandma.
The strip Giles includes examples of:
- Celebrity Endorsement: Every annual collection started with an introduction by some famous (and sometimes important) guest celebrity.
- Dinner Order Flub: When the family is in France, every attempt by would-be intellectual Henry to order steak and chips in French ends up with the family being served frogs legs.
- Eviler Than Thou: A memorable Wartime Cartoon features Adolf Hitler complaining about Imperial Japan's war crimes thusly:"These damn Japs are showing us all up! We shall have to think up some new ones."
- Evil Matriarch: Maybe not evil, but Grandma was all powerful and certainly very scary.
- Getting Crap Past the Radar: Giles loved tormenting his editors by sneaking "French packets" into his detailed panels.
- Laughably Evil: His goofy cartoon caricatures of various Axis leaders, save Heinrich Himmler, whom Giles considered the worst of the bunch and strove to portray as the nasty little freak he was. Fittingly, Giles was there to witness Himmler's suicide after being captured by the Allies.
- Print Long-Runners: The first Giles cartoons were about the Second World War. Among his last was one about the First Gulf War.
- Seppuku: Another memorable Wartime Cartoon shows a pair of Japanese men, one carrying a sword (which appears to be a scimitar rather than a samurai sword, which is strange given how meticulously accurate his illustrations usually were) fleeing an allied air raid and complaining: "Don't give you much time to commit suicide these days, do they?"
- Stern Teacher: Chalkie is somewhere between this and Evil Teacher.
- Those Wacky Nazis: Although the tone changed once the Allies began to liberate the concentration camps, Neo-Nazis and other British fascists were usually treated with contempt after the war.
- Wartime Cartoon: Early Giles cartoons were usually about the Second World War.

Patricia Craft was born on August 15, 1940, in Elgin, Illinois. She was the daughter of Ruth Eleanor Nelson Miller and Francis Joseph Miller. She had one sister, Sister Joella Miller, OP.
The Miller family moved often when Pat was young, to Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois. Both parents were very devout Catholics. Very close siblings, Pat and Joella used to play church together, using Necco Wafers as "hosts." When Sister Joella entered the Adrian Dominican Congregation, Pat missed her very much.
Pat met her husband, Richard (Dick), in college and described him as her "knight in shining armor." They were married in St. Laurence Church in Elgin on September 17, 1960, and had six children: Mary Sue, Ricky, Joe, Billy, Christopher, and David. They also had 14 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Dedicated to her family, Pat was fulfilled through her marriage and her children. She made sure that they attended Mass and prayed at every meal.
Pat wrote that she chose to become an Associate because of her desire to "grow in my spiritual life and to become closer to God. I wish to be part of the Dominican family in a new and special way." Pat was friendly and always eager to serve.
"I feel like I have been associated with the Adrian Dominican Sisters for over 50 years," Pat said during her Ritual of Commitment. "I want to be an Associate as I have so many caring and loving friends that are Dominicans. I want to feel the joy of God's love that they all share. I want to share my love of God with everyone I come into contact with."
Pat had to endure the death of her youngest child, David, on August 24, 2014. This was a very difficult time for her.
Pat was a breast cancer survivor, but a recurrence of cancer led to her death on January 10, 2018.
Memorial gifts may be made to Adrian Dominican Sisters, 1257 East Siena Heights Drive, Adrian, Michigan, 49221.

Banbridge captain Eugene Magee is hoping his side can create the talking-point of the tournament on Wednesday.
His Ireland team, also featuring Bann team-mates Drew Carlisle and Stevie Dowds, need to beat world number one side Australia to qualify for the Olympic games from World League Three (pass-back 1pm).
It would be an achievement to top their careers and they would certainly have done it the hard way.
"We've improved in every game since the start and hope to take that into the next one," said Magee.
"The Australians we know to be a good side but we will treat them like any other with regards to our preparation and objective setting. Then we will have to be on our game for Wednesday but it's never a tournament without an upset so hopefully we will shock a few people by coming out victorious."
Ireland have every right to believe they can, having held the world number five side Great Britain and only lost to number four side Belgium once they pulled their keeper in their Pool B campaign.
Combined with a stomping 6-0 win over China, it was three impressive results for the Green Machine, who still finished fourth thanks to a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Malaysia.
They could have been further up the table, had they got the win their performance deserved in their opener against table-toppers Great Britain.
Coming off the pitch in Antwerp, the Irish lads felt it was a case of two points dropped, having hit the post twice and forced a last minute double save from the GB stopper.
GB had gone two up inside eight minutes and looked like they would cruise to victory but Ireland rallied back and could even have won.
Their poor fortune continued against Malaysia as Bann lad Stevie Dowds hit the post with a fantastic first time shot at 2-2.
Dowds is the only Bann man to get on the score-sheet and he did it in style against China, firing in the fastest goal of the tournament so far with a 130km/hr shot.
Ireland signed off their Pool B campaign with the 2-1 defeat to the hosts. It was another game they could easily have won and that will surely give the Green Machine and their three Banbridge lads hope for Wednesday's momentous decider.

This paper describes and compares the most relevant approaches for associating tags with semantics in order to make explicit the meaning of those tags. We identify a common set of steps that are usually considered across all these approaches and frame our descriptions according to them, providing a unified view of how each approach tackles the different problems that appear during the semantic association process. Furthermore, we provide some recommendations on (a) how and when to use each of the approaches according to the characteristics of the data source, and (b) how to improve results by leveraging the strengths of the different approaches.

PMA students felt the need for a little "music" in their lives. And a little color. Collectively, they felt that the room where they were the most creative, the music room, felt a tad bland and unoriginal. The room had been painted a basic off-white color since 2001, when the Dupre Sports and Arts Center was constructed. It was time for a change. This summer they started to paint the music room and additionally began a mural, on one wall, to capture the spirit of the room.
"Students come to the music room because they feel a strong sense of community and comfort. They consider it their home away from home," states Dave Comtois, PMA music teacher. Students have spent their study period, free period and time after school in the room. They will gather to play their favorite music, records, sing and play instruments together and just plain socialize with each other.
The students needed something to represent what they felt in an image. They decided on music. Which makes perfect sense. After careful thought and planning the mural is four measures of music, in the form of a grade staff, of the song "Home" recorded by Philip Phillips. It's from the chorus, "I'm gonna make this place your home," a song that the PMA music Guild performed at the 2015 Spring Concert.
Dave Comtois, concludes, "He is proud to say that PMA, and the music room in particular, has become a home."

Chinese negotiators have a different definition of selfishness, and you have to know it. Finding a balance is harder than you think it should be
A recent post on ChinaSolved asked Western managers in China to answer a simple question - What is your Chinese Partner's Plan B? What are his alternatives to doing business without you? This is a key question for Western negotiators doing business in China, because there's a good chance you are operating under a dangerous misconception.
Mutually Assured Business Destruction?
Many Westerners negotiating business deals in China erroneously believe that self-interest and that most blessed of all instincts - greed - will keep their Chinese partners engaged and relatively honest. After all, without me and my technology, assets, designs, marketing, brand.... (fill in unique competitive advantage here) the Chinese side would earn much less. "They need me at least as much as I need them..." are the famous last words in many US-China failures. The Chinese side may be working under a completely different set of assumptions, and what you consider to be universal values may in fact be quite variable. Case in point: They may consider getting rid of you to be an extremely important and valuable business objective - one that they are willing to pay a high price to realize.
Understand Chinese Negotiators' Differences:
Forget the myth of common ground . Smart negotiators in China focus on differences, and accept that their local counterparty's values, orientations and priorities have very little in common with their own. Don't assume that they will be satisfied with the same deal terms that would make you happy. Westerners sometimes think that they can secure cooperation and loyalty with carrot & stick tactics - enforcing contract terms with the promise of big rewards later. Back ended payouts don't always work in China. The Chinese side has a different definition of self- interest and different priorities. They don't necessarily care about cash - they may want something different, like technology, branding, product, or customer lists.
Different Destinations
You are all about the cash. They may not be. What are Chinese partners after?
- Technology & IP
- Product designs
- Production process
- Marketing techniques.
- Overseas markets & clients
The problem is that you would be happy to share much of that in the normal course of business, and if they just cooperate as good, honest partners, they will meet their goals. But they see it differently. Why wait around and put up with you for 2 years (and bear the cost of lost opportunity) when it is much easier to drive you out of the market and still have 70% of your IP right away. Never estimate a Chinese partners' self-confidence to backwards engineer and patch together work-arounds.
Different Routes
As far as they are concerned, the China market belongs to them. You think you are hiring them to manufacture, and you're splitting profits on a distribution deal in the mainland market. They don't see it that way. They helped you develop the product, and now you should go away and leave the local market to them. Government bureaucracy, corruption, convoluted distribution, regulations, insider advertising deals and distribution bottlenecks all support their efforts to get rid of you. You see these diseconomies as wasteful, unnecessary taxes on your resources. They see them as viable and sustainable competitive advantages.
Different Values
Getting rid of you may be a top priority and they may be willing to pay a high cost. There may be many complex cultural and sociological reasons for this - but you don't care about any of them. The only thing that matters to you is the extent to which YOUR China business may be jeopardized by partners, staff, suppliers and distributors, and what you can do to safeguard your interests.

I was first introduced to ice skating at the age of five when a friend invited me to her winter-themed birthday party. It was love at first sight, so I pestered my parents until they enrolled me in skating lessons. The rest is history.
Today I work to share my passion of skating with others through performing and coaching.
I am an alumnus of the Laurel Springs Academy for the Gifted and Talented Class of 2016, and hope to study Sports Psychology in college. While skating is my first passion, I also have interests that span from petting puppies and exploring the outdoors, to binge watching my favorite shows and crafting.

Parking in St. Louis
Finding fun and exciting things to do in St. Louis is easy, and people who know where to look know that the gateway to the west is home to some of the best of both coasts. Whether you're interested in world class professional sports, or you like going out and catching a show then you should have no problem being satisfied as any St. Louisian will tell you. But like any major city St. Louis has it's downfall, and one of the most prominent of these is parking in St. Louis. Or maybe a better way to describe it would be the lack of St. Louis parking.
If you're trying to catch a Cardinals game - especially during the playoffs - then you'll discover just how tough Busch Stadium parking can be to come across, and if you're unlucky enough (or lucky depending on how you look at it) to live near the stadium then having permanent downtown St. Louis parking is essential if you don't want to get stuck parking miles from your door. Not only can ParkingSpotter help you to find individual spots so that you don't have to worry about your car for events, but it also offers the benefit of getting you affordable permanent St. Louis parking so that you can avoid the incredible hassle of finding street parking in St. Louis - how can you go wrong?
St. Louis isn't just a sports town though: finding St. Louis Theater District parking opens up a whole new can of worms, and if you're just heading into town to catch a show whether it's an opera or a club show, then finding St. Louis parking before you arrive is the key to saving time and money. On a busy night in downtown St. Louis parking can be a nightmare and lots that still have spaces open will charge incredible amounts of money because they know that anyone who hasn't planned ahead will be willing to pay almost any amount just to leave their car for a few hours. ParkingSpotter.com can help you to find Garage or Lot parking in St. Louis or even an individual St. Louis parking space, which won't cost an arm and a leg. Find the Downtown parking in St. Louis that you need today and stop worrying about your car.

"Node Electric Outlet eliminates the need for a power strip. Just plug it in anywhere on the square!"
Oh how I fell in love the first time I saw this pin. Aesthetically something like this just screams "Space Age!" to me, like the future is finally here. The only thing missing is a slight blue glow where you add the plugs to help hint that I might be one step closer to a flying car. I imagine Rosie from The Jetson's would use something like this to recharge her batteries.
But logic kicked in, and I knew that this was one of those "too good to be true" pins. I often times come across pins that I know are conceptional designs being pinned as if they are real. I had a feeling this was one of those, so I went on a bit of a hunt to find out more information on this outlet.
It's from a company in Japan called Metaphys. It's doesn't appear to be available for sale on their site. In fact it's titled as "Proposed Outlet". In my search I read somewhere that they are working hard on making this a very real thing, but unfortunately the wiring and electric codes, at least here in the U.S., are strict enough that something like this just wouldn't be up to code as it is currently.
Not only would something like this make it easier for Jr to jam a butter knife.. and fork.. and probably half the silverware drawer into the outlet, there is no grounding on this. It also begs the question of just how MUCH you can plug into this - it looks like with standards plugs you could probably jam pack this outlet with up to 16 plugs, which I'm pretty sure is asking for a fuse to blown in the best of situations. Not only that, but you'd never want to use something like this in place of a power strip - power strips often times are designed to work as surge protectors, so in case of a power surge your electronics don't get fried. This wouldn't be able to do that, and if fact with out grounding you run a higher risk of damaging whatever is plugged into it.
So for now, no. It's not really a real thing YET, and even if it was, unless it was designed better with grounding options and better safeguards I don't see it being available at least in the U.S. any time soon.

Salsa is a naturally healthy food as it contains mostly fresh vegetables and herbs. When you purchase store bought versions they usually have added sodium and sugars, as well as preservatives. It's not difficult to make your own version at home, and then adjust spiciness level as you see fit.
If making salsa for the first time, its easiest to start with a basic salsa recipe. There are countless variations that can be made, but simple is always a good place to start. Tomatoes are usually the star of a typical salsa dish and are nutrient rich—full of lycopene, antioxidants, as well as vitamins A, C and E.
Combine all ingredients and season additionally to taste. Refrigerate for up to 3 days. Recipe adapted from here. To mix it up a little, try a fruit salsa!
Combine all ingredients and adjust spiciness level as desired. Recipe adapted from here.

Fresh Batch, posted weekly, keeps you up to date on the hottest releases of the upcoming week.
Flavor of the week:
After the Fall
Kate Hart
Publication date: January 24th 2017
by Farrar, Straus & Giroux
A YA debut about a teen girl who wrestles with rumors, reputation, and her relationships with two brothers.
Seventeen-year-old Raychel is sleeping with two boys: her overachieving best friend Matt…and his slacker brother, Andrew. Raychel sneaks into Matt's bed after nightmares, but nothing ever happens. He doesn't even seem to realize she's a girl, except when he decides she needs rescuing. But Raychel doesn't want to be his girl anyway. She just needs his support as she deals with the classmate who assaulted her, the constant threat of her family's eviction, and the dream of college slipping quickly out of reach. Matt tries to help, but he doesn't really get it… and he'd never understand why she's fallen into a secret relationship with his brother. The friendships are a precarious balance, and when tragedy strikes, everything falls apart. Raychel has to decide which pieces she can pick up – and which ones are worth putting back together.

Marketers have a whole bunch of tools at their disposal to track who's seeing websites and whether they view ads, by embedding a few lines of code, known as tags, within websites. Managing the tags from each tool ain't easy.
Which is why tag-management software has taken off. Providers of this software make it easier to explore findings from the tags and quickly add or remove tags from one central point. And that sort of technology to observe behavior and improve the value of sites can help marketers get the most out of their marketing spend.
Today one tag-management software vendor, Ensighten, is announcing a $40 million round of venture funding from Insight Venture Partners.
Ensighten has now raised $55.5 million since starting up at the end of 2009. The new money will go toward Ensighten's sales and marketing efforts, with the goal of getting many more businesses using the company's software, the company's founder and chief executive, Josh Manion, told VentureBeat.
Big companies like Microsoft, Sony, Staples, Subaru, and United Airlines already use Ensighten. Their marketers needn't check disparate a bunch of marketing software applications, in addition to social networks, ad servers, and other places for data on consumer interaction with individual web pages. Instead, the analytics are all aggregated in one place. Ensighten users can also integrate additional data, like past purchases, and export everything to business-intelligence tools for further analysis.
If Ensighten wants to grow further, it needs to beat out formidable competitors.
Ensighten goes up against "marketing clouds" from software sellers like Adobe, Oracle, and Salesforce.com. Ensighten also must put up with Google, which offers software called Tag Manager, and fellow tag-management vendors like BrightTag and Impact Radius.
Manion thinks his company can stand out because it doesn't directly provide tags that track consumer usage of websites but instead provides a way to manage all of the tags a company already has in place.
"Our independence and focus on building this as sort of a customer-centric platform is a huge value to our customers, because we're not biased in the sense of trying to sell all this tag-based technology to them, but instead we're trying to give them the ability to choose which provider to work with," Manion said.
Funding for Ensighten, which is based in Cupertino, Calif., comes during a prolonged period of customer and investor interest in tools that can help marketers attain competitive advantages. It's all happening in the run-up to 2017, by which point the chief marketing officer will spend more on IT than the chief information officer, analyst firm Gartner has predicted.
Marketing automation has been especially hot as of late. Perhaps the same frenzy will come to the tag-management domain.

On my honeymoon in Hawaii for two weeks and already read a few books. Updates to come once I have returned.
Month: April 2014
Happy Birthday to The Scrying Orb
One year.
Last April, I started this blog theorizing I had much to gain by composing my thoughts on the books I read. It has been a successful endeavor. While reading, I knew I must always come away with something to say. It made me a more careful reader, and made me consider more thoroughly the author's decisions and whether they succeeded or failed or fell somewhere in between in their goals. I have become a better reader and, hopefully, a writer. At the very least, it has made me a more consistent writer.
While I created this mostly for myself, The Scrying Orb does enjoy a handful of visitors daily. I can't really call this a bareboned, scant content blog anymore and have plans to improve.
1. I am going to improve the design of the blog. It's sort of embarrassing that it is so sparse when visual design is a major part of my day job. Time to spend some time browsing themes and some labor spent in photoshop and sundry.
2. I wrote on a few games and movies, but the blog is almost entirely book reviews. I want to expand my writing on other media. Similarly, I would like to create some content that is not tied specifically to one creative piece. Actual articles, I mean.
I have updated the about page to reflect the above. Here's to another year.
Dark Souls II by From Software
A world locked in an endless cycle of decay. Sleek, gothic architecture. Imposing black angles and rain slicked stone. Or slimy, blighted lands, every bootstep a sickening squick, squoosh. Ruined forts that keep going down and down, through more ruins, and volcanoes, through the literal Yggrasil-world-tree roots of the world, and even deeper still to crypts intended to seal certain undesirables away for good (alas). Or up and up, atop peaks dotted with windmills, up lifts hanging in space to windswept steppes shadowed by dragons soaring overhead as you scramble across a rope bridge, swaying in the gust.
This is the world of Dark Souls. A bleak, medieval dream created by Japanese developer From Software.
To explore this world, you, a character with a flimsy narrative drive — merely being instructed to pursue The King (and collect more and more souls) — are thrust. Without guidance. I was partway through the first dungeon area, after a false start in another zone available from the onset, before I realized I had missed the vendor that could upgrade my character in an earlier hub town. Indeed, the Dark Souls series has a reputation for being difficult and obfuscatory. While the mechanics are certainly… murky, the vaunted difficulty is a tad overblown. The challenge is fair, and, with some exceptions, stacked towards the beginning before the player has grasped the systems and built their character in a specialization of their choosing. In fact, Dark Souls II goes a littler further than its predecessors. There is a bonfire (checkpoint where you return on death) close to most bosses, many tough enemies can simply be sprinted by, there's a ring that eliminates all the consequences of death (lost souls, lost humanity), and ranged attacks make much of the game drastically easier.
Dark Souls also shows innovation in multiplayer and player-to-player interactions. One can leave messages to others, based on a set of templates, not free writing. This is often helpful, sometimes purposely misleading, and occasionally hilarious. Shaded versions of other players can be seen running throughout the world, alerting you that you are not alone. When they die, they leave bloodstains that allow you to view their final moments, perhaps giving you a tip on how not to die. Dark Souls II goes further than the original in its take on "covenants", groups the player can join, many of which allow various cooperative and competitive bonuses. For instance, one allows you to set traps and build up a lair that sucks in unsuspecting players, who now have to navigate your dungeon or kill you to escape. From is one of the few console developers who has nailed a unique take on multiplayer — it combines the best parts of multiplayer (cooperation, humor, competition) but its forced limitations alleviate the worst aspects of spending time with strangers on the internet.
And unlike Dark Souls, the sequel does not taper off at the end. It's an unfortunate truth that many long games, especially RPGs, display an obvious lack of money and time and the quality falls off a cliff in the final areas. As I mentioned, the goal of Dark Souls II is to find the king, and when you reach the kingdom's magisterial seat — Drangleic Castle — the game reaches its highest points and does not let up for the rest of its playtime, bewildering easy last boss notwithstanding. The gameplay mechanics are tightened up and overall, there is only the briefest hint of staleness; the series definitely ought to innovate in the next chapter, but I'll buy it regardless.
The Moor's Last Sigh by Salman Rushdie
What's this book about, eh? Let's check the back cover blurb:
"Its narrator is Moaes 'Moor' Zogoiby, a 'high-born crossbreed' who is the last surviving scion of a dynasty of Cochinese spice merchants and crime lords. Moor is a compulsive storyteller and an exile. And as he travels a route that takes him from India to Spain, he leaves behind a labyrinthine tale of mad passions and volcanic family hatreds, of titanic matriarchs and their mesmerized offspring, of premature deaths and curses that strike beyond the grave."
Moor does indeed journey to Spain from India. In an airplane. In the last 20 pages of the novel.
Baldly misleading summaries are hardly rare; what is interesting here is what whomever wrote the above chose to omit and why.
Because what the The Moor's Last Sigh is about is this: a man, near death due a supernatural ailment, tells the story of his entire family from great grandparents to himself, tying them to the tumultuous history of India. The exact same setup as that of Rushdie's most celebrated novel, Midnight's Children, the Booker of Bookers.
The same setup. Not nearly as good.
It's not a total retread. Simply chronicling a different family in a different region of India changes the story greatly. But neither novel has a gripping plot — they are appealing due to Rushdie's wordy, imaginative prose and the history he intends to capture. Moor's origin is a collision between Christian and Jewish tradition. The locus of the story, and the Zogoiby-De Gama family, is Moor's mother, Aurora. All roads, past and present lead back to Aurora. She is the magnetic core drawing all others in, both in-narrative and as external-reader. When the story focuses on Moor, it's dull by comparison — which makes a sort of narrative sense but does not make the book any less bland when his mother exits center stage.
Rushdie's writing does make it all worth reading. The man can turn a phrase. And perhaps if it didn't feel like somewhat of a regurgitation of a greater work, I would have enjoyed it more. Nonetheless, I found it wanting.

Upholstery and furniture retailer DFS has published updated reports of a seven per cent increase in revenue on the previous year.
Despite Brexit concerns facing the entire industry DFS say they are confident of their ability to continue growth into the FY2017.
Its steady growth has been attributed to contributions from its subsidy companies Sofa Workshop and Dwell, which are reported to have added one per cent point to overall growth in the year ending July 30.
The current growth strategy which includes consistent store expansion in the UK and overseas and integration of omnichannel retailing is said to be "delivering ahead of the board's expectations".
RELATED: Do DFS's half-year results signal a healthy furniture market?
DFS' board claims that it: "recognises that, following the EU Referendum, retailing of furniture in the UK faces an increased risk of a market slowdown with additional cost pressures from foreign exchange movements."
They have stated that although their current figures paint a promising picture of continued growth in the coming financial year, the six weeks since June 23 is not long enough to make a meaningful assessment of retail trends.
Remaining optimistic however the board have also stated: "the Group remains very well positioned to mitigate economic headwinds with resilient features in its operating model giving it the potential to achieve continued growth."

2.6 Mg Tablet 30
Glyceryl Trinitrate is mainly used to treat and prevent the chest pain associated with angina. Glyceryl trinitrate USES also include treatment of sudden and intense vasoconstriction of heart arteries, high blood pressure during cardiac surgery and left ventricular failure accompanying a heart attack.
How does the drug work?
Glyceryl trinitrate belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates. Nitrates acts by temporarily relaxing the smooth muscles present in the walls of blood vessels in the heart. Relaxing the blood vessels reduces the strain on the heart thereby making it easy to pump blood.
What are the common side effect?
Glyceryl Trinitrate side effects include nausea and vomiting, allergic reaction, flushing, blurred vision, xerostomia, dizziness, fainting, headache, decreased blood pressure, lightheadedness, nervousness, and tachycardia.
Important Info
• Avoid Nitrocontin tablets in case of allergy to glyceryl trinitrate or any other ingredients.
• Patients who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a doctor before taking Nitrocontin tablets.
• Avoid alcohol while taking glyceryl trinitrate medication, as it may increase the symptoms such as thirst, nausea, flushing, increased heartbeat, chest pain and low blood pressure.
• This medicine may cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid activities requiring alertness such as driving and operating heavy machinery.
FAQs :
1. Are there any other dosage forms of Glyceryl trinitrate other than tablets? Yes, Glyceryl trinitrate is also available as sublingual tablets, ointment, sprays, and transdermal patches.
2. What are the other USES of Glyceryl dinitrate? Medically it is used as a vasodilator, whereas non-medically it is used to make explosives.
3. I experienced worsening of chest pain while taking Glyceryl dinitrate shall I stop the medication or continue? Worsening of the chest pain is a side effect of the drug Glyceryl trinitrate, abruptly stopping the medication may increase the blood pressure. Consult your doctor immediately.
4. Is it safe to take sildenafil citrate along with Glyceryl trinitrate? No. Concomitant use of two nitrates may cause a severe drop in the blood pressure.
5. Is it safe to take Glyceryl dinitrate with or without food? Glyceryl dinitrate can be safely taken with or without food but advised to take at a fixed time.

Under the Dome
Superintendent candidates clash over career training
Mark Johnson, a Republican candidate for state Superintendent of Public Instruction, is challenging one of his primary opponents over her views on vocational education.
On her website, Dr. Rosemary Stein compares career training to ancient Greek and Roman education for second-class citizens.
"In America, we employed Classical Education for all of our citizens," her website says. "This education allowed all of our citizens to have an education that allowed them to succeed in life. They were able to move from job to job because they had the education necessary to move up the economic ladder. Somehow, we lost our way. We now are moving towards a two class education system: one for the success or leadership bound and one for the trade positions. This system does not provide the child with the education necessary to attain the American Dream. Instead, it locks them into an economic class, and makes it very difficult to change jobs if there is another economic downturn."
Johnson, a Winston-Salem lawyer, said he disagrees with Stein's position.
Johnson, Stein, and J. Wesley Sills of Dunn are running in the GOP primary for state superintendent - the person who runs the state Department of Public Instruction.
The American dream is for everyone, Johnson said.
"Some students want to pursue 12 years of education to be a medical doctor and some students want to be ready to work in a trade of their choice as soon as they graduate from high school," he said in a statement. "Both are noble goals, and I strongly denounce Dr. Stein for insinuating that plumbers and other tradesmen are second class citizens."
In an interview, Stein, a Burlington pediatrician, said she supports students developing skills, but public schools should have classical education at their foundation.
"I don't think that our school system should be in the business of choosing people to be mechanics and welders and electricians," she said.
She recounted the story of a teenage patient with good grades who was told by his school that he should be a mechanic.
"We should be training kids first to become thinkers and citizens," she said.
Private school students are being trained to be future leaders, Stein said, while she is not certain that public schools are preparing students for leadership.
"It comes back to we're not teaching them how to think," she said.
Policy makers have made a big push for expanded vocational education in high school. Gov. Pat McCrory, a Republican, made it an issue in his last campaign. The first bill he signed was called Increase Access to Career and Technical Education.

Plot Summary:"Trapped inside a fortified home owned by a mysterious couple, an impoverished young boy is suddenly thrust into a nightmare. Quickly learning the true nature of the house's homicidal inhaitants, the boy battles against sadistic security devices, befriends an elusive and abused young girl and finally learns the secret of the creatures deep within the house."
The People Under The Stairs, one of the more recent outings for Wes Craven, sees him directing one of, if not the, most bizarre films of his to date. This film is indeed the personification of surreal. I'm not too sure what Craven was smoking when he was sat in the directors chair but it made for some interesting viewing.
The problem with The People Under The Stairs is that the audience, and to an extent the film, doesn't know whether it is supposed to be entirely serious or slightly tongue-in-cheek. The film does have a few genuinely scary parts, mainly involving the people under the stairs. The aspects of this film that border on the humorous side are the people that own the house, only referred to as Man and Woman and their Dog.
Man and Woman are, to put it nicely, a few aspirins short of a medicine cabinet. If you thought that the Texas Chain Saw family was weird you ain't seen nothing yet. These two however are weird on a different scale. Man, played brilliantly by Everett McGill, is a person who is just a little too protective of things. He also likes to deal with his problems, mainly Fool, with a rather ominous shotgun. Woman, played by Wendy Robie, is a cruel lady. From threatening her child, Alice, to setting the dog on any intruder that dares enter. As the saying goes 'hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn'.
The People Under The Stairs is basically a big adventure. A big adventure that is strictly confined to the restraints of the house. Since ninety percent of this film is set inside the house it still manages to keep its length. Fool - Brandon Adams - is roped into getting in the house to find some gold coins. Le Roy, his partner in crime is then subjected to the family dog. First off I'd like to say that Fool is one of a very few kid characters that doesn't annoy me. And second, never has a dog had such an exceptional role in a film. In The People Under The Stairs the dog is the main source for much of the comedy. For such a ferocious dog he can be really quite comical. The best part is when Woman feeds him a human hand of which he starts to eat. Then he hears a sound, and as dogs do, bolts his head up. Sure enough, sticking out of his mouth is a finger. Then when the dog is chasing Alice through the house a trapdoor drops and the canine is subjected to a two-storey slide to the kitchen where he promptly gets up as if nothing has happened.
When Fool finally manages to get out of the house, even after Alice has told him 'no-one gets out' the film appears to be over. The boy has survived the evil adults and will now live happily ever after. Wrong. In true Wes Craven style Fool is sent back for more. This starts the anti-climax of the film. The adventure starts again but most of it doesn't seem necessary. There are some more laughs, especially at Man's hunting suit, but that is all there is. The only part that was needed was the setting free of 'the people...' This does bring a spectacular explosion (which includes all the money they had collected being brought down in a shower) for a finale. One worrying thing is though, with all 'the people...' wandering amongst the rest of the street, no one seems to notice. Money does that to you I suppose.
'#ccc'>OVERALL SUMMARY
This film is defiantly one of Cravens more bizarre tales and for that reason it didn't have good PR. This film is Addams Family meets Evil Dead with a kid for a hero. Some would think that this is not a very good film but it is full off adventure and is an acceptable watch. If you are a fan of Craven's then check it out, if not, check it out anyway; you might be surprised.

My friend David Harlow pointed me to this piece in National Review Online by Roger Clegg of the Center for Equal Opportunity about the Michigan preferential admissions cases. Clegg is reacting to the story we posted from yesterday's Washington Post on the debate within the administration over whether to file a brief opposing the University of Michigan's racial discrimination. Clegg wonders why the administration might think that opposing racial preferences is risky politically. As Clegg notes, such preferences are wildly unpopular among Americans, as has been shown in study after study and confirmed in a number of elections. Clegg also notes that the Lott fiasco might hand President Bush the opportunity to explain why opposing discrimination, be it against whites or blacks, is the right thing to do. Let's hope that President Bush seizes this opportunity.

A Rocky Experience in Anglesey
Hey guys, Dash here!
The office has been busy, busy, busy recently – so we took a few days off to visit the beautiful Isle of Anglesey in North Wales!
Despite Pickles' near-death experience on our last adventure, Chris allowed Pickles to come with us on another boat trip. I wasn't particularly happy about this, as it meant having to keep him in line on what should have been a relaxing experience!
Luckily, there were no scary incidents this time, although the water was a little choppy for my liking. Now it's back to the office to get our heads down through the busy autumn period.

Dear Residents,
During 2016, the members of the Clarence Center Vol. Fire Co. would like to remind our residents of the 100% volunteer service we provide. We are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are ready for any emergencies regardless of the time of day or weather conditions. This volunteer service saves residents thousands of dollars in salaries compared to a paid department. It has been our honor and pleasure to provide this service to the Town of Clarence for over 100 years.
We hope this annual appeal letter finds you in good health and wish to thank you for your generous support in past years. Your valued donations help us to pay for additional training and equipment allowing us to do our jobs safely and more efficiently. We constantly strive to keep our budgets lean during these challenging economic times and greatly appreciate your support.
This year we are planning to contribute to a town-wide project to install new fire hydrant markers on each hydrant throughout the community. This ambitious project will enhance safety by improving visibility of the hydrants during our Buffalo winters. A portion of your contributions will directly benefit this valuable public safety program.
As you consider responding to our annual fund drive appeal, please remember three things:
Our sincere thanks for your past support. We hope the New Year brings good health and happiness to all. Remember, life happens fast, but accidents happen faster!
As always, we thank you for your support of our annual Labor Day Fair.
The Officers and Members of the Clarence Center Vol. Fire Company

So here is a brief update on what's been going on lately (not that you care).
I made the decision to get rid of my iPod touch. Now as many of you may think at first, "CRAZY!" And it very well may be true but here is the reason behind it. I was addicted. Seriously addicted. I had no life outside of instagram and iMessage and selfies, etc… And once this came to my attention I realized I needed to do something different. So I got rid of my iPod and replaced it with a Nano which can't do any of the above listed problems. It plays music and videos, and I can put pictures on there so it suits all my needs perfectly. And now I have an opportunity to live. Explore. Learn. Make connections. Read. Write. Whatever I want! I finally will get to truly unschool. Let me know what you all think about what I have done and if you have any suggestions of things to do in my free time although I have discovered that I have become VERY busy.
Thanks guys!
