Improving research productivity Lecture by Ron LaPorte Uploading

Development of Science Supercourse Network in the Countries of Central Asia
Since 2008 Supercourse team from the University of Pittsburgh has been collaborating with the Library of Alexandria on the establishment of the Science Supercourse http://ssc.bibalex.org/home/list.jsf. This project has been very successful in reaching a large number of countries around the world and creating a network of over 50,000 individuals. Despite popularity of the Supercourse around the world, Central Asian Countries are still not very active in the development of virtual professional networks and the exchange of training materials. It is now possible to build the network and knowledge exchange as the result of the EU sponsored CAREN project which is working bringing high speed internet to all universities in Central Asia. The WHO collaborating Centre at the University of Pittsburgh is beginning to establish Global Health Network Supercourse in Central Asian Countries for the improvement in training in Global Health and Prevention with the support of the State Department/USAID. This activity will involve the development of a sustainable Scientific public health network in Central Asia, with the video conferencing network to support general education initiatives. Key partner country will be Kazakhstan and key organizational partners will include State Health Department, University of Pittsburgh WHO Collaborating Centre, Nazarbayev University, Academy of Preventive Medicine of Kazakhstan, CAREN network, Dante Network, WHO and the UN. In this effort, we propose to utilize similar approaches that we have been using with the parent Supercourse to train a sustainable public health workforce in Central Asia. We propose to build a Central Asian Supercourse to share knowledge within and between central Asian countries as well as the rest of the world.

A new proposal unveiled Monday by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would require retailers to keep cigarettes hidden from view.
A new proposal unveiled Monday by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg would require retailers to keep cigarettes hidden from view.
The idea, the mayor says, is to discourage young people from picking up a deadly habit. Cigarettes would have to be kept in cabinets, under a counter, behind a curtain or otherwise concealed. Several countries — Ireland, Canada, England — already have similar laws, but New York City's is the first such proposal in the U.S.
"Such displays suggest that smoking is a normal activity," Bloomberg said. "And they invite young people to experiment with tobacco."
Now part of me likes the mayor's idea. But my kid Bella is 11 and has, for a few years now, been able to see above and past the counter at gas stations and convenient stores and to the colorful wall of cigarettes behind the register, and I don't think the sight of a store's cigarette inventory will ever tempt her to smoke.
Because Bella is learning algebra.
I never buy cigarettes, and neither does her dad. But she has noticed when other people buy them, and I have to say, she thinks they're nuts, and algebra has led her to this conclusion. (She also thinks they're making a terrible choice in regards to their health, thanks to a lifetime of anti-smoking messages from everyone she knows and her knowledge that smoking killed her Grandma Maureen, whom she only knows from photographs.)
But back to why they're nuts. She may be a kid, but she's figured out money. She's also noticed that a pack of cigarettes goes for as much as $10. And she has witnesses the awkward dance between cashier and customer, in which the customer leads and the clerk follows and which goes something like this:
Customer: "A pack of blah-de-blah 100s, please."
Clerk: "These?"
Customer: "No, the 100s, in the red pack."
Clerk: "These?"
Customer: "No, those are menthol."
Clerk: "Sorry, I don't smoke. These?"
Customer "Yeah. No. The 100s. In the long pack. Over. The other way. Keep going. There. You got it. Stop! Those. Gimme those."
Clerk: "That'll be $10."
Bella has also come to realize that the cigarette dance is an opportune time to slip a Reese's or a Butterfinger onto the counter, since I'm apt to say OK because I'm distracted by the aforementioned dance, in awe and wondering when it was that the cigarette selection became so vast and so complex, convinced that back when I quit in the 1990s there was nothing but Marlboro, Winston, and Newports, plus some really skinny ladies' cigarette that my dad's girlfriend favored, probably because my dad wouldn't bum them off her, even if he was out of Winstons. I mean, if I'm remembering right, all the brands could fit in a single vending machine, and even so the top row was usually taken up by Marlboro reds.
Anyway, Bella also knows some algebra, thanks solely to her sixth-grade math teacher. She knows that $10 is hard to come by, and that a Cadbury Cr�me Egg cost about 50 cents. If she had $10 and found herself in a store loaded up with cigarettes and Cadbury Cream Eggs, she would never, ever consider buying the cigarettes and instead would figure out how many Cr�me Eggs she could get. Her algebraic equation — with the Cadbury Egg being "e" — would look like this this:
.50e = 10
The answer is e=20 Cadbury Cr�me Eggs, enough for her and everyone at her lunch table, except for Donald, who only likes white chocolate and for whom she would likely pick up a little white chocolate bunny.
So sure, the mayor and the city and all of us should do everything we can to keep kids from smoking. But the solution may come down to a little math, a whole lot of chocolate, and the good sense of an 11-year-old.

Under the terms of the agreement,, the housing must be located within " Israel's pre-June 1967 borders. Beneficiaries of. the housing will be mostly new immigrant families, newly- formed families, Arab and other minority groups, and occupants of over-crowded or substandard housing. The loans are repayable over a period of 25 years: BROOKLYN (WNS) — In response to growing protests from the Jewish communities, Pres. John W. Kneller announced that Brooklyn College was with¬ drawing the questionnaire requiring students to an¬ swer questions dealing1 with race, religion and ethnic origin, family education and work background and reaction to "open admission." Dr. Kneller made the announcement to a capacity audience at a meeting called by the Brooklyn Jewish Community Council at Congregation Shaare Torah in Flatbush. PARIS (WNS) — After four months of negotiations, France and Israel reached an agreement under which Israel would receive approximately $75 million as reimbursement for the 50 Mirage V jets which Israel had paid for but had been embargoed by the late Pres. Charles De Gaulle on the eye of (the, S.£Pay-War>The money includes the amount paid for'the jets plus in¬ terest at the rate of seven percent per year. HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.

The student body of the university, which is located a short distance from New York City, is estimated to be 40 to 50 percent Jewish. Half of the faculty and Board of Trustees are also estimated to be Jewish. Tension is building on the campus according to Rabbi Leo Wolf, director of the local B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundation, who said that Jewish and non-Jewish groups on campus and off are seeking community support to get the university authorities to remove the offensive symbol. - Howard Cosell To Speak Here For UJFC Campaign Howard Cosell is, perhaps' the most controversial sports, reporter in history. His attempt to put sports in proper perspective has wcr him some friends — and many enemies as well. The young men- and young women who will be attending Night For Life this Saturday evening, at 8 p.m. at the Center for Tomorrow are in for a thought-provoking set of comments. According to Norman Traeger, General Chairman of the 1972 Campaign of the Young Men's Division, United Jewish Fund and Council,;: and Frank Kass, chairman of the second annual Night For Life dinner meeting, reservations for the affair Saturday inight, are exceeding all prioif ..ex¬ pectations. "Already our reservations are in excess of the number who attended our spec¬ tacular Night For Life, in 1971," said' Mr. Traeger. "We expect a. capacity turn¬ out to hear Mr. Cosell, who is a dedicated and committed, Jew, ahd whose message will be of interest to all who at¬ tend." -'■■•■ Of Communal Publishing "Blessed be our God, king of the universe, who has preserved and protected us and brought us to this day." A , The issue of February 24th of the Ohio Jewish Chronicle marks the beginning of our 50th year of continuous publication, a truly historic milestone. It is a source of great joy to the publishers that we have been able to weather the very severe storms of these years. We could not have done it without the loyal support and friendly cooperation of both the advertising constituency and our reading public. We are pardonably, we hope, proud of the record we have established. We have published a dignified, clean, thoroughly honest periodical. We have played fairly with our public and we have not compromised in the high standard which we set ourselves in the beginning. We are proud also of the confidence which we have in¬ creasingly won and increasingly maintained no less than of the goodwill towards the Jewish Chronicle, which is so manifestly extant. Very definitely, the Jewish Chronicle is an established institution and recognized as a necessity in the organized communal life of our city. . To all who have helped in this enterprise, to all who have cheered us and supported us, we speak our heartfelt thanks, and to those who have not. yet become supporting members of the family of • the Jewish Chronicle through paid subscriptions or supporting advertising, we once again extend , the hearty invitation to join and help us. The more support of this kind that is forthcoming, the better our publication can become, the more departments we can run, the more service we can render. Apart from the material considerations, the Jewish Chronicle continues to be a service agency in the Jewish community, and on that basis primarily, no less than on the record which is ours, we claim the increasing support of our: communities. —THE PUBLISHERS Order To Halt Building Forest Hills Project Howard Cosell was born in Winston-Salem, N.C., on March 25, 1920. He was raised in Brooklyn, New York, and was graduated from New York University, where he was a member of Phi Beta Kappa. World War II interrupted his studies, but after the war, in which he was one of. the youngest majors in the U.S. Army, he resumed his studies and started the practice of law. In 1953, quite by accident, " Cosell sold the idea of having Little Leaguers meet and talk with major league baseball stars to ABC Radio, The show was such a success it lasted five years, and from that weekly radio program, Cosell went on to become the Manager of the ABC Radio Network Sports. He has starred in Woody Allen's new movie "Bananas," and made several' TV dramatic ap-' pearances. He has written a series "Self Portraits" of such sports greats as Jimmy Brown, Mickey- Mantle, Whitey Ford, and others.

Langmuir, professor of history at Stanford (Calif.) University, asserted this week that social studies textbooks in use in US high schools and colleges largely ignore the contributions of Judaism and Jews to modern civilization. Speaking at an American Jewish Committee luncheon meeting Langmuir charged that this "neglect" was directly responsible for an ignorance among roost Americans about Judaism, Jewish history, and the persecution of Jews through the ages, Even courses in prejudice arid race relations,■' Langmuir said, "have little to say about Judaism or Jewish •history.' For the overwhelming majority "of students, the only portrayal of Judaism and Jews at any level of sophistication "is provided by courses in world or western civilisation or by the more specialized courses given by history depart¬ ments. But that portrayal is minimal and more likely to reinforce stereotypes than to reduce them." Yehuda Rbsenman, director of the AJCom- mittee's Jewish Communal Affairs Department, said that to remedy the situation "we expect -publishing houses to develop a Judaic series of supplementary social Studies, reading and audio-visual materials on different phases and ideas ih Jewish history." American historians and. universities, he said, "should establish courses in Jewish history, and integrate Jewish history into general history," and at the same time, "we; hope that school boards will revise' their curricula to introduce clearly into"public_ school studies aspects of Jewish civilization." February 15,1972 'Mr. Milton Pinsky .••_. - Publisher and Editor Ohio Jewish Chronicle P. O. Box 13299 Columbus, Ohio 43213 <*• Dear Milton: The fulfillment of a half century of publishing the Columbus Ohio Jewish Chronicle is an event which merits commendation and celebration,' not only by and for those associated with the paper in the past and the present, but also by the entire Jewish community. We congratulate you on having achieved this historic milestone. During the past fifty years, the Chronicle has paralleled and recorded the growth and development of the Jewish community, of Columbus. Columbus was then a small, mid-western inwardly-centered Jewish population, numbering but a few thousand. Today, with an estimated Jewish population of 14,000, we look back on the years that have passed noting the elements which have made it a purposeful community, strong. and dynamic; which have improved the quality of Jewish life; which have forged strong links with our people throughout America and throughout the world, wherever Jews and Jewish communities are located. ■ And for the future we look forward with confidence in the knowledge that we shall continue to grow and prosper, and'become an even better Jewish com¬ munity, ' With the passage of time the Ohio Jewish Chronicle has played a significant part as the community's prime media of communication, as its chronicler of Jewish news, and events, the means by which we give continuity of-the past with the present. We express to you, in behalf of the Officers and Board of Trustees, our best wishes for continued success and prosperity as we .mark forward to an even better future.

There's been no lack of buildup to the launch of the Affordable Care Act health exchanges, but for experts and advisers of the new law, the work has just begun.
"There's still a list of other items that are coming up for 2014 that we're working on with clients," said Anu Gogna, a benefits attorney with Day Pitney, in Parsippany.
Much of the work to date has focused on the law's notification requirement — employers had until today to inform staff about the new insurance marketplaces, he said. But 2014 will bring a host of other "compliance items," such as the new 90-day limit on the waiting period for new employees to become eligible for coverage.
Advisers will be busy next year despite the one-year delay in the so-called employer mandate, to 2015, Gogna said. That's because clients will need guidance as the federal government issues regulations in areas such as employer penalties and reporting requirements to the IRS, which he hopes will be finalized by early next year.
Preparing for the launch of the ACA also has been a matter of erasing confusion among clients, according to consultants at Altigro Financial Group, in Fairfield. Brad Greenbaum, a partner with the firm, blamed the confusion on a reliance on incomplete talking points by both the government and media outlets, along with the overall controversy that has surrounded the law since its enactment in 2010.
"You have one side giving misinformation and the other side giving information, but sugarcoating," Greenbaum said. "As a result, a lot of our clients are just regrettably confused."
That has led to uncertainty over technical issues and big-picture questions, such as whether new plans would be available today or on Jan. 1, said David Oscar, managing member with Altigro. He noted he has "about 30 clients who are expecting something to happen today."
Oscar expects the firms to spend the next several months reviewing the financial makeup of its 2,000 small and midsized business clients, he said, with an eye toward determining how they and their employees should approach the options of the new health care system.
"It's going to be a matter of how to best utilize premium dollars and subsidies," Oscar said.

Yale Hoping To Build Off Wednesday's 3-0 Win At Sacred Heart
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale softball team played the first two games at Pioneer Park, Sacred Heart's newly renovated stadium, on Wednesday. This weekend, the Bulldogs will get a look at another new stadium when they play a four-game series at Dartmouth. The Dartmouth Softball Park opened on Apr. 6, and Yale will play doubleheaders there on Saturday and Sunday. The start time on Saturday has been moved to 11:30 a.m., while Sunday's twinbill is still set to begin at 12:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs (8-28, 1-11 Ivy) are coming off a 3-0 victory over Sacred Heart in Wednesday's second game. Chelsey Dunham tossed a three-hit shutout. Two of the hits were infield singles and she struck out three. It was the third complete game shutout of Dunham's young career.
Christy Nelson reached base in each game against the Pioneers, extending her streak to six games. She also belted the 11th home run of her career. Nelson has been at her best (.424, three doubles, two triples) in Ivy games so far this season. Meg Johnson (.343), Jennifer Ong (.308) and Tori Balta (.306) are each hitting better than .300 in league games.
Those impressive numbers will be put to the test against a solid Dartmouth (10-19, 3-9 Ivy) pitching staff that is anchored by freshman Kristen Rumley. Rumley leads the staff in ERA (2.53), wins (4), innings (83) and strikeouts (107).
Offensively, the Big Green is led by Kara Curosh, who has a .309 average. Hillary Barker and Noelle Ramirez share the team lead with three home runs apiece.
Dartmouth won three of four games with Yale last year in New Haven, despite a pair of strong pitching performances from Dunham. In 15.1 innings against the Big Green, Dunham struck out 17 and yielded only four earned runs.
Yale leads the all-time series with Dartmouth 27-21.

The National Response Framework (NRF) presents the guiding principles that enable all response partners to prepare for and provide a unified national response to disasters and emergencies from the smallest incident to the largest catastrophe.
As part of the NRF, Support Annexes describe how Federal departments and agencies, the private sector, volunteer organizations, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) coordinate and execute the common support processes and administrative tasks required during an incident. The actions described in the Support Annexes are not limited to particular types of events, but are overarching in nature and applicable to nearly every type of incident.
This course is intended for government executives, private-sector and nongovernmental organization (NGO) leaders, and emergency management practitioners. This includes senior elected and appointed leaders, such as Federal department or agency heads, State Governors, mayors, tribal leaders, and city or county officials those who have a responsibility to provide for effective response.

Leading up to the 2008-09 ETSU women's basketball season, the ETSU media relations office, with help from graduate assistant Lindsay Christensen, will feature player profiles on all 12 of the Lady Buccaneer student-athletes. This new segment allows fans to catch a glimpse of what each player is doing off the court, as the Lady Bucs look to make a run at their second straight NCAA Tournament appearance.
When Gwen Washington left her home in
"Even though my high school coach taught us how to be discipline and other aspects outside of the game, I know playing at a higher level will be difficult at first," said
Gwen's dream is to continue playing basketball for as long as she can. She understands the importance of college, but when she finishes, she would like to play either in the WNBA or oversees.
"I'd probably rather play in the WNBA, so I could be closer to home," she says, "However, I would go anywhere, as long as I could keep playing."
Some other future endeavors
"I'm just having a good time, playing ball and going to class," said
When she is not in class, playing, lifting, or running,
"We play a lot of Rock Band," she said. "I am a pro guitar player!"
"They treated me like family right from the beginning and I liked the connections that were formed with me and the coaching staff."

Brandied Cherries
from the Art of the Bar by Hollinger & Schwartz, and recommended by Bobby at Drink Dogma and Marleigh at Sloshed! (adjusted proportions to match what I had on hand):
2 pounds dark, sweet cherries
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
2/3 oz fresh lemon juice
1 small cinnamon stick (used Mexican stick cinnamon)
3 1/2 oz brandy (Paul Masson Grande Amber)
Rum-med Cherries
Posted on the Chanticleer Society by user Evo-lution, apparently for a competition.
½ cup soft demerara sugar (used brown sugar, but will try again with demerara)
½ cup water
1-2/3 oz fresh lemon juice
1 cinnamon stick (Mexican cinnamon again, all I had)
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Half a scored vanilla pod (used a dash of vanilla extract, didn't have any beans on hand)
1 pound sweet pitted cherries (Bing)
1 cup aged rum (Cubaney 5 Anejo)
Wash and pit cherries. In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except the cherries and rum and bring to the boil. When liquid begins to boil, reduce heat to a light simmer, add cherries and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add rum and cool immediately. Transfer cooled cherries and liquid to clean glass jars and refrigerate.
What am I Doing in the Pits?
After these adventures, I found myself with extra cherries (mostly sour), and I found myself with a bunch of cherry pits. Thought it might be interesting to see whether they have any flavor to them on their own, so I made some cherry pit syrup, and stuck some pits into some high-proof spirit to infuse. Still waiting on the infusion, but the syrup is pretty mellow.
Used 1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, and a pound's worth of cherry pits. Simmered 10 minutes, then cooled completely. It's a lovely pink color, from the bits of cherry still left on the pits, with hints of cherry flavor and nuttiness. Not as much flavor as I would have liked, unfortunately. I did make a couple of cocktails with it, but the flavor was too light to come through much.
Thanks to Erik Ellestad over at Underhill Lounge, I later learned that I could have made Ratafia, or perhaps Cherry Pit Ice Cream. Next time, I have to smash up the pits, and give one of those recipes a try. I should've known that a quick blog search would turn up some great experiments already run by trusted bloggers! Next time, I'll do that first.
The Rest of the Cherries
went into this delicious sour cherry streusel pie. YUM.

Subject:RE: Account Disabled: Inappropriate Video Content
Re:User account CRUSADER18
Dear Sir/Madame,
I have been a YouTube member for 8 months I have over 130 videos, and nearly 3/4 of a million views on them. My Channel has over 17,200 views, and 200 subscribers which for a blogger, and someone who isn't a "YT Star" is pretty impressive. With as many views as I have had, and as many videos I have uploaded and shared, naturally I picked up my share of trolls. There is something wrong with your system, or one of your administrators is "gaming" me, and I will point you to the evidence: My first original video received over 30,000 views, and approx. 450 ratings.(average 4 1/2 stars) My next 8 original videos received roughly the same ratings average, 4 1/2 stars, but since they were viewed less, had far fewer ratings, but roughly a proportionate number compared to the first, as far as ratings to views. When you look at the ratings of my last two original videos, #11 (A Tribute to 9/11) and #12(A blog about the recent uproar over the pope) The #11 received THREE times as many ratings as the 1st original that had over 30,000 views, and they were Nearly ALL one star, yet the views were less than 1/7 of the 1st. Strange, don't you think? Over 1,000 1 star ratings ratings for a 9/11 tribute, with less than 5000 views...While I received numerous Death Threats, for the #1 original(30,000 views), from YT users whom I reported, and are STILL active Accounts, "Currysoup64" to name one...The ratings as I said were 4 1/2 stars, and only about 475. I have been singled out, and Suspended in error. Several of my uploads that YT had rejected were Music Videos, which I sent you several correspondences about wondering what was wrong with the system, and why it had rejected them. I get Trolled and flagged by users who are jealous or just plain haters, so then is YT to become a Popularity contest? YouTube Users AbuMustafa, Jihad4u, and Several others, have Catalogues of videos showing the killing of US Soldiers and Marines, and terrorist propaganda videos, put out by al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad, and the other terror organizations, to recruit young Muslims for use as suicide bombers.(AbuMustafa's profile icon, is in fact, a Suicide bomber, as shown moments before he blew himself up Killing several soldier and civilians at a checkpoint. The Particular video, put out by al Qaeda to recruit More Suicide bombers, is considered by them, to be their Most Successful recruiting video, and in fact, the User describes it in those terms. And yet His profile remains. What is the difference? Except that I am American, and what I posted wasn't illegal in any way, while His videos in fact Are. YT users are forced to endured videos of American Soldiers being Blasted 100 feet in the air, while their bodies are torn apart, and then read comments from Ghouls who celebrate this, while I have for the very most part tried to express my opinions, and Blog the news in a much more moderate, and respectful fashion. View the "offending" video, for which I was suspended. There isn't a drop of blood, or a dead body in it. The video is primarily an interview with a young Marine Sgt. in Iraq. It received over 10,000 views, and 22 ratings. None of the comments as I recall expressed any one's "Offense" over the content. I will expect to here back from an actual person on this, this time, I have attempted to contact YT several times in the past over incidents Just like this. Video rejections that weren't in violation of terms of use.(Pat Benatar and Tom Jones Videos were rejected...Understand?) Others of mine which you rejected, remain posted by several other users. I have been gamed. My Last Vid got less than 2000 views, and 600+ 1 star ratings. Someone has targeted me, either in Your office, or outside, with software designed just for this purpose. YouTube Suspended me in Error. Please reinstate.
PS-I have taken the liberty of CCing all major news outlets, because I feel that while I am just one person that has been effected, what has been transpiring at YouTube as far as your allowing access to viewing video communiques from banned terrorist organizations which this country is at war with, constitutes a possible breach in National security, and it is certainly allowing recruiters for these terrorist organizations access to impressionable minds they would not as easily have if your policies adhered to the laws pertaining to these acts. In none of my videos, even the ones rejected were there calls to war against anyone. Though Death threats to me personally aside, Illegal videos posted by Users AbuMustfa, Jihad4u, Currysoup64, and many others of there ilk do in fact constitute illegals acts. I'm sure you will give this your attention, and restore my account, and I will gladly send out your personal response to this email to the above CCed news agencies. the News agencies will be able to report that YouTube by suspending accounts that transmit terrorist recruiting videos and worse, has taken action to aid the US and her Allies in the War on Terrorism.
As before,

Creekwood residents are upset that bus stops in their neighborhood have been cut out of Wave Transit's map.
Note: This is a revised version. The original was unclear about when residents' comments were made.
Creekwood residents are upset that bus stops in their neighborhood have been cut out of Wave Transit's map, and they spoke out about it during and after the agency's board meeting Thursday.
About 30 people attended, most of them to protest the removal of six stops in and around Creekwood.
"It's taking from the poor and giving to the rich because the majority of them have cars and stuff. We don't," said Glendora Mullins, a Creekwood resident.
When Wave's new routes went into effect on Feb. 4, they were supposed to offer service to more places while also helping the buses run on time.
Wave's ridership counts showed about 10 to 15 people got on or off the bus in Creekwood every day before the changes, but the residents disputed those numbers.
"Everybody in Creekwood rides that bus. We got about 200 residents in there, and the majority of them take the bus," Mullins said.
Though the transit agency held public hearings and posted notices on buses about the changes, residents complained that they didn't get sufficient warning.
"I thought it was drastic, and it was so sudden," said Kyrean White, who lives in Creekwood. "They've been planning it for a year, and at the same time we saw notices and everything, but a little bit more time and notice that they were going to make this change would have helped. It was a very drastic change."
Residents weren't the only ones who thought the changes could have been communicated better. Jonathan Barfield, the New Hanover County Commissioners' representative on the board, said he learned about the new routes from the newspaper and didn't know all of Creekwood's stops would be cut before the decision was made.
Barfield missed January's meeting, where the route changes were voted on, because he was attending an N.C. Association of County Commissioners meeting in Raleigh.
Wave saw a decline of about 8 percent in ridership in February, similar to the decline the agency saw after altering routes in 2008. A fare increase, from $1.50 to $2, also took effect at the beginning of February.
Albert Eby, Wave's executive director, has emphasized throughout the process that the agency would be willing to revisit the new routes after the changes took place, and has already made minor revisions in four places.
Those tweaks include shifting service on Route 103 from UNCW to College Road and adding five stops on College; restructuring Route 104 to service four stops on Randall Parkway after construction slows down; adding four stops on College Road for Route 107; and restructuring Route 202 to add service to the Senior Resource Center and Roland-Grise Middle School.
"Change is hard, no doubt about it, but I think enough people have looked at this and enough smart people have looked at this that the changes are going to have a positive impact once everybody gets used to them," Eby said.

Neither good food nor subtlety was a strong suit at the busy suburban mall food courts of my youth. In those pre-Sbarro years, kitsch was king. Over-the-top Union Jack displays heralded the fish and chips stand, and garish, if not stereotypical, lanterns and kimonos indicated where greasy tempura was dished out. Last and perhaps least, there were those poor folks peddling lemonade wearing puffy chapeaus that made Smurf hats look like Vivienne Westwood creations by comparison.
Nowadays, Boulderites would be mortified by such displays. We pride ourselves on our refinement and erudite dining sense, and we expect understatement when it comes to our food courts.
Such is the case with the prepared food section at the expanded Whole Foods Market. While the wide open space rivals the size of most old-school shopping mall venues, subdued colors and signage make it obvious this isn't our
parents' food court. One thing that time has not changed, however, is the crowds.
Navigating through the lunchtime crowd with friend Kon, our experience fell somewhere between the first level of Frogger and the running of the bulls at Pamplona. We bounced off the salad bar, rebounded off the sushi case and bypassed the taqueria before settling in for main courses at the BBQ stand and Asian noodle kiosk.
Kon picked up a $10.78 barbecue combo plate, consisting of ribs, chicken, slaw and macaroni and cheese. A subtle measure of smoke flavor and tenderness were the highlights of the ribs. The chicken was simply tender white meat doused in basic barbecue sauce, not necessarily a choice that broke new culinary ground. Purple and green slaw was satisfyingly crisp, with both fresh taste and lighter saucing than retro mayonnaise-based versions. While the texture of the mac and cheese was comfortingly soft, it lacked the appealing dairy tang common to most gourmet interpretations of this pasta found around town.
We also sampled a $1.68 bite-sized assortment of fennel salad, horseradish polenta and Chinese pork. The fennel had a snappy freshness and delicate anise tones. "Creamy" best describes the polenta, but the bite of the horseradish was scarcely detectable. The Asian pig pleasantly surprised with its char siulike flavors, although the taste was not as assertive as its butcher shop inspiration. To its credit, this pork lacked the shockingly red food coloring found in most versions.
Another Asian-inspired item was the $6.99 pho ga, a take on Vietnamese chicken and rice noodle soup. Cooked to order, this dish took a while to prepare, as the lunchtime crush created a bottleneck at the noodle bar. I did appreciate the ability to choose what veggies went into my soup, and I selected the triumvirate of bok choy, snap peas and scallions. Once it was finished cooking, the noodles were correctly al dente, and the overall impression was that this was a satisfying soup. However, a Vietnamese restaurant version would have a more deeply-flavored broth with complex herbal notes.
While Kon and I exercised restraint in our choices, we noticed it's all too easy to run up an expensive tab among some of the options here, particularly with selections sold by weight (salad bar, anyone?). Some dishes, like the pho ga, are competitively priced. But finding these more affordable selections requires some prudence and investigation on the part of the value-conscious diner.

But all I can say is they aren't enemies to touma's faction.
And about vol 19 if its the truth then what the hell happen to biribiri? I MEAN SHE IS MISAKA MIKOTO! I love the idea accelerator joining the up coming battle in foreign country but heck I love to see mikoto their too! Specially because she is one of the few who knew touma's deepest secret.

Thinking about it, if the author do that it would feel very forced, there are 21 volumes!!! Is too late to suddenly introduce her(or other character) from the science side to the magic side only because... the fans wants??
Ah! and that can destroy the balance between both sides introducing a noob about magic, what if she tries to do some magic?? She would be dying in the process, and I'm sure of two facts:
a) Her fans don't want to see her hurted or died.
b) There are more than one group who are not going to allow a flight from one of the two sides.
She didn't limited herself and suffered the consequences
Uh oh Mugino is not amused... I wonder if they died or not

Holy shit. What the hell happened to her? I heard she got defeated, but I didn't expect her to become like this. It seems her "hotness" is now gone, that's too bad So now she's a cyborg -like-thing, does that mean she doesn't have to limit her powers anymore?

Spoiler for :
I'm not so sure about this, but I think accelerator's crutch gets some modification (wait are those legs?)

DNC media: "can you hear me now?"
The long shots of Denver and vicinity are magnificent, the audio from several locations is awful. Who's nominated for praise and who should be impeached:
Not working: MSNBC's "Morning Joe," at Sam's No. 3, was drowned out by the breakfast crowd and the clatter of dishes. The sight of Joe Scarborough and Co. leaning in to hear Terry McAuliffe was unnerving. Similarly, Fox News' morning show, "Fox and Friends," battled ambient noise even as co-host Brian Kilmeade lavished praise on Denver.
Working (hard): Ann Curry,
despite a 14-hour time difference after flying in from Beijing and NBC's Olympics coverage, looked like she'd just stepped from a spa on "Today." Also, CBS' Harry Smith, welcoming viewers to Denver–"my old stomping grounds"–is playing to his nostalgic local fan base.
Not enthused: the tech staffers from all networks are dreading Wednesday when they will pull all-nighters to strike the sets and move from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field.

The Bucs offense started the game on fire taking the quick 10-2 advantage just under the 16 minute mark. Increasing the lead to 17-5 with 13 minutes remaining in the first, the Appalachian State offense outscored the Bucs 13-5 over the next five minutes to near the ETSU lead at just 21-18. Two made free-throws by Nichelle Akers (Sumter, S.C.) and a made three-point basket by Banjo gave ETSU the 36-29 cushion with two minutes remaining in the half. Two made free throws by Mayes ended the first half with the Lady Bucs taking the 40-34 lead into the halftime intermission.
For the first, Mayes led ETSU with 13 points and seven rebounds, while Conyers tallied 16 points in the first half for the Mountaineers. The Bucs held their largest lead (13) at the 11 minute mark, while they held the lead the entire first half of play.
The second half began much as the first for the Bucs offense, taking the 61-52 lead into the under eight minute media timeout. A solid effort from the charity stripe for the Bucs down the stretch and 43 percent shooting from the floor gave ETSU the advantage for the game and the eventual 74-69 victory.
"I am very proud of the way our girls closed the game today," Lady Bucs head coach Karen Kemp said. "B.J. and Tiffani both played well and our younger players really stepped up their intensity knowing how much we needed this win today."
ETSU committed just 19 turnovers compared to the 20 of the Mountaineers while the Bucs held the 39-34 rebound advantage. Each team took 55 shots from the floor, while both the Bucs and Mountaineers each hit six shots from beyond the arc.
ETSU is back in action Feb. 16 when they travel to face

Love for the ages at Bensonhurst nursing home
Sometimes, it takes a little longer for Cupid's arrow to hit its target.
Frances Buttel and Richard Nygaard proved that love can be found at any age. The happy couple, who are both residents of the Bensonhurst Center at 84th Street (also known as Holy Family Home), a nursing home at 1740 84th St., were married in the center's chapel in front of scores of family members, friends, fellow residents and nursing home staff members on Tuesday.
Buttel, 59, and Nygaard, 74, were married in a traditional Catholic mass officiated by the Rev. Guy Sbordone, pastor of Saint Frances of Cabrini Church in Bensonhurst.
"Kiss your bride!" Fr. Sbordone instructed the wheelchair-bound groom at the end of the mass. After Nygaard obeyed, the priest repeated his instruction.
"Kiss her again!" he said with a big grin.
Again, Nygaard kissed his bride. It's the first marriage for both bride and groom, according to a friend of the happy couple.
"I wanted to look beautiful on my wedding day, and I do!" Buttel said just before the start of the ceremony.
Shlomo Z. Levi, the home's administrator, walked her down the aisle.
The couple met while undergoing physical rehabilitation at the center, according to Levi.
"They met during the rehab period and they went on to dine together often at meals. Over their years of dining together they became close friends and the rest is history!" Levi said.
Buttel has been living at the nursing home for six years. Her groom is a five-year resident.
"It is certainly a day of dreams," Fr. Sbordone said in his homily. "Frances and Richard are the stars of the show. We pray that their love continues to grow."
The administrators and staff of the nursing home went all-out to make sure the wedding day was a memorable one for the newlyweds. Following the mass, a reception took place in the dining room. In addition, the corridors leading from the chapel to the dining room were lined with tables filled with trays of hors d'oeuvres and glasses filled with cocktails.
The couple has endured tough times on the way to their joyous day.
"They both came to our facility for rehabilitation after being sick and hospitalized. However, due to chronic illnesses (Frances) and physical disability (Richard) needed to continue as long-term residents under the care of our nursing staff," Levi wrote in an e-mail to a reporter.
The Bensonhurst Center at 84th Street offers both short-term rehabilitation and longer nursing home care. The facility currently has 150 long-term residents.
Buttel and Nygaard will now share a room at the nursing home, according to Charles-Edouard Gros, president of Center Management Group, a Flushing-based company which owns the Bensonhurst Center at 84th Street.
"We allow married couples to stay together, of course," he said.

Jaime King Reveals Why She Posted a Breastfeeding Photo
Jaime King looks gorgeous in a black dress while attending the premiere of the new film The Rover on Thursday (June 12) at the Regency Bruin Theatre in Los Angeles.
Also in attendance at the event were Rachael Taylor, Bar Paly, and the movie's star Robert Pattinson's Twilight co-stars Peter Facinelli and Rami Malek.
Jaime recently spoke out about the breastfeeding photo she posted on her Instagram account this week and revealed why she decided to do it.
"I feel like now that I'm a mother, I realize that there's a huge schism out there; that women feel judged because of what they choose to do and how they choose to feed their child. Why should we hide it?" Jaime told People. "I also wanted to share the idea that it doesn't matter whether you breastfeed or formula feed �"as long as you are loving and caring for your child, that's all that matters."
"The responses from mothers were so grateful because there have been people out in the media being very judgmental, saying women have to breastfeed, or have to do this or have to do that," Jaime added. "I think that it's really unfair for anybody in the spotlight – any sort of celebrity who has a very privileged life – to go out there and tell mothers what to do when they don't understand their socioeconomic circumstances, when they don't understand their health circumstances, when they don't understand what their life is about."
FYI: Jaime is wearing a For Love & Lemons dress and Joan Hornig earrings.
25+ pictures inside of Jaime King and others at the premiere…

"After I play this,"Yo-Yo Masaid as he picked up his 1712 Davidoff Stradivarius cello, "tell me what you think about." This is Tuesday, around lunch.
He played the prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1.
Here's a popular version of it online, which includes the entire piece:
In addition to being a classical superstar, Ma is a creative consultant with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He was playing in the Tribune editorial board room during a visit with some other CSO faces that are familiar to Trib Nation -- the CSO's Deborah Rutter, Charlie Grode and Raechel Alexander attended a community conversation last year on neighborhood crime. (And after a violent prelude to spring over the last week, it's still a timely, important and grim connection.)
On Monday, Ma and soprano and Lyric Opera creative consultant Renee Fleming performed at Lake View High School (check out this YouTube video from the audience) and then -- surprise! -- with the school's chorus at the State of Illinois building in Chicago.
What do Yo-Yo Ma, Renee Fleming, the Lyric Opera and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra have in common with the Chicago Tribune?
Like us, they sense this is a crucial time to be engaged with the city they serve.
"If a change is going to come for this country, this is the place where it's going to start. Chicago is really poised to make a difference. To me the soul of America is right here," Ma said. Which makes it a crucial place to engage. "Your job as a citizen is to be able to empathize with the community. Think about what music does: It serves."

I was shopping this winter to renew my "weapon of choice" as I was getting bored with my old and trusty '06 Misfit 127. Had my mind settled on the Nobil 2HD or 2012 Laluz when I've got offered the 2012 Brunotti Riva L. And since I kinda enjoy riding different gear than everybody else, the decision was easy. So after a great trip to OBX and a good deal of local riding here are my thoughts.
Riva L is advertised as an ultimate freeride cruiser despite the fact that you'll be really hard pressed to find any significant difference in rocker line, stiffness and bottom shape between the Riva L and the Pro-X (advertised for freestyle) side by side. I was actually choosing between these two boards but at the end went for the Riva L due to better (unapproachable) finish. Pro-X had some "rough edges" that I really didn't like.
Board rides just as well (if not better) as it looks! This is probably the most surfy twintip i've ever tried - never had so much fun in waves and on a downwinder! Yet, everything else is in check - upwind, edge hold, chop eating, pop - you name it - she'll do it beautifully!
Stock pads and straps - although bloooooody heavy - are so damn comfortable! Nothing else to add here except that after riding the Riva for a good while, when i've stepped into my old North Phantom for a light wind session it came as a surprise that North's pads/straps are a major piece of crap!!!
Riding that board reminded me a lot about the difference between a good waiter and an uber-good waiter at a restaurant. A good waiter does everything what a good waiter is supposed to do - take your order, bring drinks, bring food, pour wine, take away dirty dishes, etc... Well, an uber-good waiter, does all the same, but you just don't notice it!!! Same goes for the Riva L - it does everything a good board is supposed to do without thinking about it. No questions asked, no comments, just pure riding pleasure! An ultimate freeride cruiser that is indeed!
Now what I didn't like:
-Weight, the board it-self is on the light side, but the stock pads are easily doubling the board's overall weight.
-Stock handle is crap! Brunotti logo started pealing right from the start, so to keep the looks in shape I had to cover it with a layer of kitefix - holding for now, but in long run i'd either change the handle for something more durable or remove it altogether.
-And along with the handle, quality of other "made in China"-parts is rather questionable as well. For instance, after getting the board I had to go back to the shop to change a fin as one of the screw holes was crooked.

Regulators are focusing on at least four of Europe's biggest banks as they investigate the attempted manipulation of the region's benchmark interest rate, suspecting that Barclays' traders were the ringleaders of a circle that included Crédit Agricole, HSBC, Deutsche Bankand Société Générale.
Evidence of links between traders at all four banks and Barclays' former euroswaps trader Philippe Moryoussef is under scrutiny, people involved in the process have told the Financial Times.
The news comes in the wake of the clear-out of senior management at Barclays, after the bank paid a £290m fine to settle probes in the US and UK into its involvement in the attempted manipulation of the London interbank offered rate (Libor) and its European equivalent, Euribor.
The furor over the attempts to rig lending benchmarks has led to calls from policy makers around the world for an overhaul of the system that underpins $500 trillion of contracts globally — everything from arcane derivatives to standard home loans.
In its settlement with Barclays, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the US futures regulator, described an unnamed trader as having "orchestrated an effort to align trading strategies among traders at multiple banks […] in order to profit from their futures trading positions."
According to several people familiar with the matter that senior Barclays trader was Mr. Moryoussef, who worked for Barclays from 2005 until 2007.
His strategy was based on the fixing of three-month swaps pegged to Euribor — the euro-based interbank lending rate set in Brussels by averaging 44 banks' submissions, regulators have said.
According to an FT investigation, Mr. Moryoussef is alleged to have contacted a number of traders whom he knew at other banks, either through previous employment or via professional or personal networks. Regulators are looking at suspected communication with Michael Zrihen at Crédit Agricole, Didier Sander at HSBC and Christian Bittar at Deutsche Bank , all of whom no longer work at the groups in question, according to people familiar with the investigations.
At SocGen the identity of the traders in question remains unclear and the probe appears to be at an earlier stage.
There were at least 20 requests from traders at rival banks to Barclays' Euribor submitters to lower or raise rates between 2006 and 2008, according to findings by the Financial Services Authority in its settlement with Barclays.
It has been clear for some time that about 20 institutions have been drawn into regulators' sights over the affair. But until now, the details of how individual banks could be implicated has remained murky.
There had been a broad assumption that most banks under investigation were suspected of manipulating Libor submissions in the financial crisis period running from 2007-9 to appear healthier than they really were, sometimes allegedly with the implicit nod from policy makers.
However, the alleged involvement of traders at Crédit Agricole, HSBC, Deutsche and SocGen, predates the financial crisis by several years. Barclays' settlement with regulators made it clear that there were two distinct periods of attempted manipulation — the first for trading gain, the second for broader reasons of financial stability.
Sir Mervyn King, Bank of England governor, has sent a letter to other top central bankers inviting them to a September 9 meeting in Switzerland to discuss "radical reforms" to the Libor process. The invitees include the head of the European Central Bank , the Federal Reserve and other major central banks, according to a person familiar with the contents.
Regulators' probes continue. But to date there has been no allegation of wrongdoing made by any authorities against any of the individuals or any bank beyond Barclays.
All the banks declined to comment beyond previous statements confirming their co-operation with regulators over the broader investigation. The traders concerned either could not be reached or declined to comment.
