Chelsea and Manchester City defender target John Stones is not interested in transfer talk and focused on life in the Npower Championship, according to his agent.
The 18-year-old Barnsley full-back has recently come to the attention of clubs in the Premier League, with the Daily Mirror claiming last week that the Blues, Citizens and Everton were all tracking the player.
However, Georgina Lillis has tried to play down talk of a potential move away from Oakwell in the January transfer window, and insists that the youngster will be better served playing first-team football with the Tykes.
"There has been a lot of unwanted paper talk with regards to John. It doesn't benefit the club and it doesn't benefit John," agent Lillis told SkySports.
"Just because a scout is seen in the stands, it doesn't mean a player is on the move next window. John is at a point in his career where he needs to be playing first team football and to keep developing as a player.
"Barnsley is doing just that and valuable experience with England is helping him progress. If there is any interest or approach from Premier League clubs for John then that's between them and Barnsley."
The agent was unsurprisingly happy to admit that the teenager does aspire to play at the highest level in England however; even if now doesn't appear to be the best time for the academy graduate to make the step up.
"Of course John wants to play in the Premier League but what's most important, at this stage, is that he doesn't get his head turned and keeps working hard and improving."
The one-cap U19 international made his debut in March, and has appeared on a much more regular basis for Keith Hill's side this term. He scored his first professional goal in the League Cup against Rochdale in August.
Stones' rapid rise to prominence has put some of the biggest clubs in the country on alert, with Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo reported to be keen on the player.
Branislav Ivanovic currently fills the position at Stamford Bridge, with veteran Paulo Ferreira providing competition to the Serbian.
However, the 33-year-old former Portuguese international is moving towards the later stages of his career in west London, and Chelsea could be looking for a young replacement with over a decade ahead of him in the professional game.
As for Manchester City, manager Roberto Mancini showed his intentions to have an English core in his side with the addition of Jack Rodwell in the summer transfer window.
The Italian has also been tinkering with his defence this season, suggesting unhappiness with the vast amount of options currently available at the Etihad Stadium.
Stones would certainly be a signing for the future, although the Manchester City hierarchy would want to spend money on a player who will push Micah Richards and Pablo Zabaleta for first team action immediately.

Unless you're working in a geographic region with a high rate of counterfeit software, it's unlikely the Windows XP machines you support will have invalid licenses. However, even in the best run IT shops, unauthorized software can find its way onto the desktop. An end-user may have installed a pirated copy of XP but now wants to go legal. An organization may have installed 100 pirated copies of XP but now has a legitimate volume-licensing key.
When you encounter product key problems, changing Windows XP's product key is often the most practical solution. In this IT Dojo video, I demonstrate a quick and easy registry hack that replaces an invalid Windows XP key with a legitimate one.
If you need to change the key on multiple machines, Microsoft provides two WMI scripts (one for Windows XP installations without SP1 and one for Windows XP installations with SP1 or later) that can automate the process. You can get the code for each script and detailed instructions on their use from the Microsoft Knowledge Base article, "How to change the Volume Licensing product key on a computer that is running Windows XP SP1 and later versions of Windows XP."
Once you've watched this IT Dojo video, you can read the original TechRepublic article, print the tip, and learn more ways to resolve Windows product key problems with the following resources:

In the great darkness
The raven calls my name
He knows me
Knows what fears hide deep in my soul
As I run through the forest
Thrashing through the low lying limbs
He follows me
Whispering my name
Knowing my fears
Will make me run aimlessly
Until I can't breathe
Until I am on the brink of giving up
Then he will pull back
Quietly watch
And wait for me to catch my breath
So he can terrify me again
no worries my friends, I am just playing in the dark again lol.

Muslims, Christians and JesusOctober 31st, 2014 — compassionradio
Carl Medearis is one of those rare people who really know both the religion of Islam and the various cultures it calls 'home.' Where many scholars have relationships with ideas, he's gained his understanding by building solid and productive relationships with real people. And what he found about Muslim understanding of Jesus is profound. Even more important is the genuine openness of Muslims to a real relationship with Jesus.

They were fast friends, the American and the Austrian embarking on their senior year of basketball and books together.
By the end of that one preparatory year together, theyd decided to continue together through college, with both settling on a Division II school nestled in the Durango mountains.
Now, six years after their first encounter, theyll embark on one last NCAA Tournament run together .
Matthias Weissl and Torrey Udall first came into contact as seniors at Roaring Fork High School in Carbondale. Weissl was the new kid on the block, a foreign exchange student from Salzburg, Austria, working on learning the customs and language of his new home halfway around the world. Udall helped Weissl pick up the customs, the language and the U.S. political system he is the nephew of Mark Udall and cousin of Tom Udall, both U.S. Senators.
Enter Udall, who took Weissl under his sizeable wing and helped him through the process.
Torrey basically put me under his wing because when I came here, my language wasnt as proficient as it is right now, Weissl said, with barely a hint of any accent. He basically took care of me and showed me the American way of life, which I really appreciate, and then we ended up becoming really close friends.
The two quickly discovered they had mutual interests, not least of which was basketball, which was a big reason Weissl landed in the U.S. in the first place.
The duo became a force in Class 3A, helping the Rams to a berth in the state quarterfinals after the 2007-08 season. Udall averaged 17 points and 10 rebounds that season, while Weissl scored 22 points and chipped in four assists and three steals per game.
After that, the two decided theyd try to continue their careers at the same school. Weissl was keen on Fort Lewis uptempo style, one that was more like what hed grown up with in Austria, playing for local club teams in leagues that often had 24-second shot clocks.
The other school that recruited me was (Colorado) Mesa, and they play the opposite. They just pack it in and dont play very European-style basketball, Weissl said. Thats why I really preferred Fort Lewis.
Mesa, Western State and UC-Colorado Springs expressed interest in Udall, but the Skyhawks came in later in the game and found a way to land the 6-9 center.
It was pretty clear after a few visits here and pretty proactive recruiting that this was a good place to be, Udall said.
After playing at an all-state level as seniors, both Udall and Weissl came into their freshman years with impressive pedigrees. However, past performance doesnt necessarily trump proven skills at the collegiate level, and both redshirted the 2008-09 season, sitting and watching more experienced players and learning what it took to be successful, not only at the collegiate level but at a school with the kind of track record held by FLC.
I tell the younger kids this all the time: Its something worth waiting for, Udall said. And the speed of the game is faster than you expect. And youre not as good as you think you are.
Its humbling to come to a good program and compete and improve and hopefully get your chance when it comes.
It also helped them settle in academically, which paid off. Weissl, an economics major, is a three-time Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference All-Academic honor roll selection, while Udall was an honor roll choice once and first-team selection the last two seasons.
As they grew into regular contributors on the floor, they also found that their roles werent the same as back at Roaring Fork.
In high school, they were stars, handling the bulk of the scoring load and filling stat sheets.
At FLC, theyve been valuable role players, with Udall averaging 6.3 points and 4.6 rebounds per game this season and forming a formidable front-court combination with fellow 6-9 center Alex Herrera. Weissl has been a sharpshooting option off the bench throughout his career.
What really helped us is when we first came in, we had guys like Ryan Jameson, Jordan Brooks and Kirk Archibeque on our team that were just on a different level of basketball. ... That made us realize, Wow, this is a different level. We have to work a lot harder to compete with those guys on a daily basis, Weissl said.
Now, the two will complete their final season in FLC blue and gold with their second NCAA Tournament run. The first proved fruitful the Skyhawks qualified for the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history in 2011.
Then, its off to an advertising internship with BBDO Worldwide (Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn) in Munich for Udall, wholl take his turn experiencing culture shock and a brand new language. And Weissl will fulfill his nationally mandated duty of either community or military service by working in marketing for the government in Salzburg, an apropos 90 miles from Munich and Udall.
But for now, its all about the goal in front of them and the goals recently achieved. One more chance for them to accomplish something on the basketball court together.
Its the biggest reward, Udall said. I tell all the guys that come in there (are) very few goals that we set out at the beginning of the year, and making regionals is at the top of that list. To get a regional win would be the ultimate satisfaction, ultimate reward for our career.

Kenneth Branagh knighted by Queen Elizabeth II
LONDON (AP) -- Kenneth Branagh, who has played royalty on stage and screen, has been made a real-life knight by Queen Elizabeth II.
The British actor said he was pleased to be honored in the year of the queen's Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. He said that "it's been a hell of a year for the U.K. and I feel very honored to be a tiny part of it."
Belfast-born Branagh was knighted at a Buckingham Palace ceremony Friday for services to drama and for his charity work in Northern Ireland.
Best known as a Shakespearean actor and as TV detective "Wallander," Branagh joins the pantheon of theatrical knights alongside the late Sir Laurence Olivier -- whom Branagh played in "My Week With Marilyn."
He has also directed films including "Henry V."

If sports industry insiders know anything, they know the fans. Sure, they can cite chapter and verse when it comes to statistics and trivia, but they also have an unobstructed view of how fans think. This gives them a distinct edge when it comes to predicting which sporting events may attract a lot of betting, legal or otherwise.
Chris Matcovich is one such insider. He's the senior director of data and communications for TiqIQ, a ticket price aggregator which draws data from such sellers as StubHub, Ticket Network, and eBay. He observes the trends firsthand, and believes they can provide clues to which games will inspire the most gambling.
"Ticket prices fluctuate based on demand and sentiment from the fans," he said in an interview. "When prices go up, that also translates to the betting market. If you have a grudge against a certain team, you take your passion for the sport a little further, and with that contentiousness, I think it leads to greater betting. People tend to want to put some action on those games."
Matcovich has opinions about which upcoming events may inspire significant betting. These opinions are based on the jump in price of an event ticket's face value to its secondary-market asking price. His opinions are also based on team and league history, and on his intimate knowledge of the issues that cause the most furious debate among the fans.
CNBC.com presents TiqIQ's list of upcoming sporting events that could inspire heavy betting among fans. All ticket prices are current as of Sept. 6, 2013, and are expected to fluctuate up until the day of the event.

How the hell do schools like Suffolk, Vermont Law School, and Northeastern get away with charging as much tuition as BC or BU (all around $38,000) when schools with better progams suchs as George Mason, Maryland, and William and Mary are $8,000 cheaper (and even less if one finds a way to finagle in-state residency)?
Because people are stupid and are willing to pay those ridiculous prices. Something needs to change, and I believe it will in time.

social network for conservatives
February 18, 2010 by Robert E. Bauman J.D.
Will President Barack Obama nationalize United States pensions? That was the serious question I proposed one year ago in my blog—and it's time to ask that question again.
Why now? Because President Obama has proposed what one of our experts sees as the "first step in stealth nationalization and forced investment of our retirement benefits."
The bad news comes as part of a tax package said to be aimed at middle-income Americans that was revealed in Obama's State of the Union speech, as reported by Business Week magazine.
Obama's stealth proposal is billed by him as an "effort to increase retirement savings by requiring all businesses to offer automatic IRA accounts," but it drew immediate opposition from U.S. small business associations. Obama claims the plan would let employees automatically enroll in direct-deposit retirement accounts and expand matching tax credits.
Dangerous First Step to Nationalization
But Larry C. Grossman, CFP, CIMA, managing director of Sovereign International Pension Services (no relation to Sovereign Society) and a member of our Sovereign Society Council of Experts, sees the Obama idea as a dangerous move.
Says Grossman, "If you read it closely you will see the heart of the proposal is the requirement to keep 10 percent of the funds in U.S. Treasuries. At the stroke of a pen the president has found a way to bolster the declining demand for Treasuries. I believe forcing retirement plans into U.S. government control is the next step."
This alarm was echoed by Ron Holland, editor of the Inner Circle Intelligence Report published by BFI Consulting AG, a Swiss financial advisory firm, and a long-time member of the Sovereign Society Council of Experts.
Says Holland, "I think the mandatory IRAs just proposed by Obama is the first step in stealth nationalization and forced investment of our retirement benefits to support the U.S. Treasury debt market."
Should you be worried about this latest radical Obama move?
There is an estimated $15 trillion worth of private retirement plans in the United States; $4 trillion in IRAs alone; this constitutes 35 percent of all private assets in America. That is what the Obama government is eyeing to help plug the multi-trillion dollar deficit in his big spending budget.
You could call this move Obama's attempt to "pull an Argentina."
What's "An Argentina?"
In October 2008, Argentine President Cristina Kirchner—a peronista—confiscated US$30 billion worth in that country's 10 privately managed pension funds. This was presented as an emergency measure to meet her faltering government's financing costs. The Argentine congress went along with this radical property grab of individual retirement accounts, 401Ks and the like.
Could this happen in America?
Grossman's opinion, "There have been several different academic papers published which have given rise to rumors. At least one congressional hearing on nationalizing pensions has been held. It is difficult to decide in what form it would take if something like this occurred in the U.S. Many believe that if indeed this is approaching, the best way to protect your assets is to place your retirement funds offshore now."
Holland says, "I believe we must fight this proposal and similar plans or else the private retirement system and our retirement wealth will be history in a few short years." Ron has produced a special report on this radical grab entitled,The Obama Retirement Trap Has Started!
Act Now
In my opinion, adopting such a retirement confiscation policy would be another major blow to Americans' confidence and to any chance of economic recovery. It would further devalue the dollar and it would destroy what little remains of the credibility of Obama and his socialist government.
Folks, I served in the U.S. Congress when Democrats were overwhelmingly in control. I've seen what happens when the Republicans are in charge, as well. Meaning simply, anything can happen—so hold on to your wallet… and your retirement account!
—Robert J. Bauman, JD.

When the 17th Denver Jewish Film Festival opens on Feb. 6, tribute will be paid to Carol and Irwin Wagner, whose support has been crucial to the festival's success.
By giving them the 2013 Cultural Achievement Award, the Mizel Arts and Culture Center staff will be acknowledging the role the Wagners have played in helping the festival become one of the largest and most respected events of its kind in the country.
"Carol and Irwin are the kind of people who work quietly behind the scenes, doing whatever needs to be done," says festival director Roberta Bloom. Festival chair Sharon Haber adds: "We believe their gentle wisdom and unwavering community support have truly made a difference."
Wagner Wealth Management has been the festival's presenting sponsor for the past several years, and the entire Wagner family is involved to one degree or another.

Carol has served on the Mizel Arts and Culture Center board since 2006.
Son Gary was president of the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center board in 2009-2010; his son, Cale, is a member of the Rose Youth Foundation board. Gary's brother, Ted, is currently board treasurer of the JCC of Greater Detroit while his sister, Susan, is a past treasurer of the Karis Community House board.

In some African languages, the word "head" implies "leader." Hats are used accordingly as indicators of status. In the Congo, eagle feathers trim the hats belonging to the highest official because eagles are the most powerful birds in the daytime sky. Lesser officials wear owl, parrot and guinea-fowl feathers – the latter adorn the top of this hat.

Living in Singapore during our teenage years, my sisters and I went to a dressmaker who sewed our dresses. You would pick out a dress you liked from a magazine, buy the material and take it to her. She would wonderously make up the dress for a very small charge. Usually in just two or three days. This lady made all of our formals for the banquets we attended. It was awesome.
So.........one year I decided to have dresses made for my sisters! Three of them to be exact. I poured over some magazines to find the perfect dress for each of them. Then off to "People's Park" I went, the place where you buy material. There were vendors on two huge floors with ton's of fabrics to choose from. I bought material and embelishments for each of my sisters and took them to the dressmaker with the pictures, telling her what dress is for what sister. Since she had the exact measurements for each sister it made a perfect surprise! Wah-la! Dresses for the sisters.
The best part was when they opened their gifts and saw their new dresses. What fun!!!! They were shocked. What made it even better is the fact they liked the dresses and wore them regularly!

You've invested valuable time and money researching the habitat requirements of the fish and corals you wish to house. Naturally, you want to protect this investment by executing a proper acclimation process once the specimens arrive at your door.
The purpose of acclimation is simple: the water that the fish or corals are packaged in has different temperature, pH, and salinity parameters than your aquarium. Fish, and especially invertebrates (including corals), are very sensitive to even minor changes in these parameters, so proper acclimation is the key to ensuring their successful relocation.
We recommend either of the two acclimation methods explained below, and wish to remind you the acclimation process should never be rushed. Also, remember to keep your aquarium lights off for at least four hours after the specimens are introduced into the aquarium to help them further adjust.
Though not a requirement of our acclimation procedures, we highly recommend that all aquatic life be
quarantined in a separate aquarium for a period of two weeks to reduce the possibility of introducing diseases and parasites into your aquarium and to ensure they are accepting food, eating properly, and are in optimum health before their final transition to your main display.
Drip Method
This method is considered more advanced. It is geared toward sensitive inhabitants such as
sea stars, and
wrasses. You will need
airline tubing and must be willing to monitor the entire process. Gather a clean, 3 or 5-gallon bucket designated for aquarium use only. If acclimating both fish and invertebrates, use a separate bucket for each.
NOTE: Most invertebrates and marine plants are more sensitive than fish to changes in specific gravity. It is imperative to acclimate invertebrates to a specific gravity of 1.023-1.025 or severe stress or trauma may result. Test specific gravity with a
hydrometer or

Hernandez retains WBC light flyweight title
May 12, 2013
TOLUCA, Mexico (AP) — Adrian Hernandez defeated Nicaraguan Yader Cardozo by unanimous decision on Saturday night to retain the WBC light flyweight title.
In a fight held in his native Toluca, the 26-year-old Hernandez was favored by the judges 116-112, 118-110 and 116-112.
He improved to 26-2-2. He won the title last year on a rematch against Kompayak Propramook and has successfully defended it twice.
Cardozo, 24, had a six-fight winning streak snapped and fell to 15-5.

The nation's top military commander painted a dark picture Tuesday of future U.S. defense capabilities clouded by shrinking Pentagon budgets and adversaries' technological advances that he said would erode American battlefield superiority.
Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, provided his sobering views as part of the Quadrennial Defense Review, a congressionally mandated evaluation of U.S. military strength issued every four years.
Dempsey predicted that it would become increasingly difficult to balance the competing demands of protecting allies abroad, securing Americans at home and deterring future wars.
"The smaller and less capable military outlined in the QDR makes meeting these obligations more difficult," he said. "Most of our platforms and equipment will be older, and our advantages in some domains will have eroded. Our loss of depth across the force could reduce our ability to intimidate opponents from escalating conflicts."
Dempsey added: "Moreover, many of our most capable allies will lose key capabilities. The situation will be exacerbated given our current readiness concerns, which will worsen over the next three or four years."
Dempsey's perspective was more pessimistic than that of Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.
"As we move off the longest continuous war footing in our nation's history, this QDR explains how we will adapt, reshape and rebalance our military for the challenges and opportunities of the future," Hagel said in a statement.
Dempsey issued his warnings as President Barack Obama sent Congress a 2015 budget for the entire government on Tuesday that provides the Pentagon just over $600 billion.
That's $13 billion less than current funding, but $26 billion more than provided in a budget deal that Congress approved in December by large bipartisan majorities.
Dempsey lashed out at Congress for slashing defense funding over the last three years while preventing the Pentagon from shuttering unneeded military bases, retiring outdated weapons systems and taking other steps to save money.
"I urge Congress - again - to move quickly to implement difficult decisions and to remove limitations on our ability to make hard choices within the Department of Defense," he said. "The changes required for institutional reform are unpleasant and unpopular, but we need our elected leaders to work with us to reduce excess infrastructure, slow the growth of military pay and compensation, and retire equipment that we do not need."
The response from Congress was quick.
Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, a California Republican and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said the quadrennial review was driven by politics, was "budget-driven" and does not provide enough insight into Pentagon needs beyond the current spending restraints.
"Unfortunately, the product . . . is of little value to decision-makers," McKeon said in a statement.
Calling the review "shortsighted," McKeon said it "allows the president to duck the consequences of the deep defense cuts he has advocated and leaves us all wondering what the true future costs of those cuts will be."
McKeon said he will introduce legislation requiring the Pentagon "to rewrite and resubmit a compliant report."
A congressional demand that the Pentagon redo the quadrennial review, which is 88 pages long this time, would be unprecedented. Even if such a bill were to pass the Republican-controlled House, it almost certainly would be defeated in the Democratic-majority Senate.
Sen. Tim Scott, a South Carolina Republican, accused Obama of slashing defense funding in his proposed budget while seeking new spending in other areas.
"We see a budget which drives us further into debt, takes more money out of the pockets of the American people, decreases our military readiness and does nothing to ensure that critical entitlements will be sustainable for the next generation," Scott said.
The back and forth among the Pentagon, Obama and Congress extends a blame game over defense funding reductions that most outside analysts say are inevitable.
The budget cuts follow a decade-long spending binge triggered by the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, as Pentagon funding reached record highs to pay for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and broader anti-terror initiatives.
Hagel's criticism of the defense spending reductions over the last three years was more muted than that of Dempsey.
"These continued fiscal constraints cannot be ignored," the defense secretary said. "It would be dishonest and irresponsible to present a QDR articulating a strategy disconnected from the reality of resource constraints. A strategy must have the resources for its implementation."

I have seen jewelry that resembles earings being worn on dewlaps and in some of the videos in the "war breeds" sections. Can some enlighten me on this subject. How is the jewelry attached? Are they specifically made for pigeons, or earings for humans put on the birds? About how many USD (United States Dollars) are each worth? Obviously they are put on for beauty, but are they used for anything else specific, such as only hens? Any other relevant info.

Disillusioned by the romantic tropes pervading popular culture, two friends are crisscrossing the country in an effort to document 100 great love stories to learn what makes a marriage last.
He grew up in a large Mormon family in Utah, she was raised by a single mother in Queens County, N.Y. Despite their disparate backgrounds, Nate Bagley and Melissa Joy Kong shared a common quest to uncover what real love is. After they were introduced by a mutual friend, the two piled inside Bagley's Mini Cooper and embarked on a roadtrip across the United States to find couples in what were considered successful relationships. They call their project the Loveumentary.
"People our age are jaded from the realization that the Cinderella story does not exist," said Bagley, who is 29. "Generation Y has been force fed that kind of love story since we were children, over and over again. So we have a large group of people who are disenchanted with marriage and really cynical."
Kong, 26, agreed.
"We have very unrealistic expectations of what marriage should be like from 'The Bachelor,' romantic comedies and TV shows," she said. "At the same time, there is this negative feedback we're always told about 50 percent of marriages ending in divorce. So the basic question for us is, What about the other 50 percent? What about the ones that make it work?"
After logging more than two dozen podcast interviews and myriad related blog posts on relationships, both storytellers said they'd already learned a lot about the difference between real love and marriage myths.
"I came into the project thinking we'd find the same underpinnings or foundation for all the successful relationships, but really no two stories are the same," said Kong. "Every couple seems to have a slightly different perception of the purpose of marriage and what it means to be in love."
In considering potential couples to interview, Bagley said all Loveumentary subjects must be married for more than a decade. Beyond that, the ages and lifestyles of those interviewed have ranged widely.
"One of the most moving interviews was with a man whose wife developed a brain tumor after 10 years of marriage," said Bagley. "While surgeons were able to successfully remove it, her personality was altered. And for the last 30 years this man has remained committed to a woman completely different from the one he married. ... It all comes back to what you define as being in love."
For Kong, another lesson has been the difference between how those in rural areas perceive relationships versus city dwellers.
"Something I've realized from living in big cities my entire life is that we are always hopping from one relationship to the next, because there's so much choice," she said. "Being in the suburbs and the country, I can feel my perceptions shifting a bit. Life is hard and cyclical, and some seasons are good and some are bad. So when I leave this project I hope I am more prepared for a relationship, with an open heart and with more integrity."
But before that, the Loveumentarians are seeking out supplementary funding so they can continue their travels and document at least 54 more relationships. A Kickstarter project has been launched to help Kong and Bagley pay for future accommodations, gas and other incidentals.
"Everything we've done so far has been out of our own pockets," said Bagley. "I basically quit my job a year ago and have devoted the last year of my life to this project."
One might even call it a labor of love.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Grants Will Help Communities to Cleanup Land in Maine and Massachusetts
Release Date: 10/15/2010
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. – Oct. 15, 2010) – The City of Lowell, Mass., the Town of Sanford, Maine, and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, based in Chicopee, Mass., will receive EPA grants of approximately $175,000 each to foster clean up of sites known as "brownfields" which may be contaminated by hazardous chemicals or pollutants.
The grants are part of an award of $4 million in assistance to 23 communities, many in under-served and economically disadvantaged areas, to develop area-wide plans for the reuse of brownfields properties. The plans will integrate site cleanup and reuse into coordinated strategies to lay the foundation for addressing community needs such as economic development, job creation, housing, recreation, and education and health facilities. EPA's Brownfields program helps revitalize former industrial and commercial sites, turning them from problem properties to productive community use.
"EPA's efforts to help New England communities reclaim brownfields has been a powerful economic force bolstering our economy and strengthening our communities," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "We are proud that this program has a proven track record, helping to jump start local economies, putting people to work assessing, cleaning and reclaiming abandoned parcels, returning property to productive uses."
EPA will work with the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission, the City of Lowell and the Town of Sanford to identify ways their planning efforts can utilize local, state and federal resources to help implement area-wide efforts for housing, transportation, economic growth and healthy communities. The grant recipients will be able to leverage the Partnership for Sustainable Communities, a joint effort of EPA, the Department of Transportation, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Economic Development Administration, to identify potential resources to help move the community plans forward.
EPA is awarding up to $175,000 each per selected recipient to help facilitate community involvement in developing an area-wide plan for a brownfields impacted area, such as a neighborhood, district, city block or corridor. The assistance will be provided through grant funding or agency support. EPA and its partner federal agencies will work with the selected communities to:
· Use the funds to identify potential future uses for brownfields properties.
· Create a set of area-wide strategies that will help ensure successful assessment, cleanup and reuse of the brownfields sites.
· Develop strategies for facilitating the reuse of existing infrastructure, including taking into account potential infrastructure investments needed to accommodate alternative future uses of brownfields properties.
All three New England grant recipients are in a category called a Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Pilot Program.
The City of Lowell will focus their assistance on the Tanner Street Corridor, which is south of the city's central business district and home to 1,768 residents. Most of the area is zoned for heavy industry, with some commercial and residential areas on the periphery. It is one of only a few active industrial areas in Lowell, with an emphasis on automobile and metal recycling. The city has identified at least six brownfield sites in the project area.
The Pioneer Valley Planning Commission is focusing on downtown Chicopee's West End neighborhood. With a population of 2,025, this area was once home to major manufacturers of textiles, munitions, and shoes, and supported a thriving working-class neighborhood. Today, many former industrial and commercial sites in the area are contaminated and underused. The city has developed a Downtown Revitalization Plan that incorporates the community's vision for revitalizing the downtown area, including the West End. The area-wide plan will focus on sustainable approaches to brownfields redevelopment, including the use of alternative energy generators, reuse of current infrastructure, and creation of greenspace.
The Town of Sanford, located in southwestern Maine (population 22,000) was a thriving mill town until the 1950s, when the textile industry collapsed. Sanford will focus on the Mill Yard area, 45 acres located in downtown Sanford, which once was the economic heart of town. The Mill Yard has a history of extensive industrial use and contains at least 20 brownfields. The brownfields area-wide plan will focus on site reuse plans that maximize the reuse of existing infrastructure and allow for additional greenspace and recreational opportunities.

Windows 2003 Server is a more reliable server operating system than Linux, a research firm said Monday. According to the Yankee Group's annual server reliability survey, only Unix operating systems such as HP-UX and Sun Solaris 10 beat Windows on uptime. Windows 2003 Server, in fact, led the popular Red Hat Enterprise Linux with nearly 20 percent more annual uptime. The Yankee Group made a point of stressing that the survey was not sponsored or supported by any server OS maker.

City withdraws resolution due to lack of information
A unanimous vote pertaining to a resolution regarding a land improvement project within the city was thrown out by members of St. Marys City Council during their most recent meeting.The Keystone Communities Development Grant, included in the resolution, was tabled from council's agenda last month in hopes of discovering additional information. While the city did receive new information, they are still missing pertinent details. The resolution would have permitted Tina Gradizzi, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) coordinator, to submit a grant application for $488,000 to the Pa. Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) to be used towards the acquisition, demolition and clearance along with all costs related to the Depot Street Land Improvement Project."We're suggesting that we throw out this resolution until we have an exact figure to go with the grant," Gradizzi said, referring to the need to obtain updated appraisals on Depot Street properties.She said the city's appraisals are a bit outdated.

Report: Fed Sees 'Modest to Moderate' Growth
July 17, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Report: Fed Sees 'Modest to Moderate' Growth
The U.S. economy is continuing to grow at a "modest to moderate" pace, the Federal Reserve reported Wednesday (July 17), in an assessment that is likely to keep it continuing its loose monetary policy.
MarketWatch reported that the so-called Beige Book found expanding manufacturing, rising consumer spending, stable to growing services activity, and moderate to strong residential real estate and construction.
The Beige Book is a collection of anecdotes on the economy used to help the Federal Reserve prepare for its next interest rate setting meeting. The Fed has pledged to keep interest rates at near-zero levels at least until unemployment drops below 6.5%, as the central bank debates whether to scale back its $85 billion per month bond purchase plan.
Earlier, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said there was no preset path for asset purchases.
The Beige Book noted that while hiring held steady or increased at a measured pace, there was reluctance to add full-time workers. Some analysts suggested that the health-care law commonly called Obamacare is the force behind employer reluctance to add full-time workers.
The hard data seem to confirm the assessment of the Beige Book. Industrial output grew at an annualized 0.6% pace in the second quarter, and retail sales growth in June was muted. House prices, however, have seen strong growth.
Economists polled by MarketWatch expect growth of just 1.1% in the second quarter.

Di Matteo sprang a huge surprise on Wednesday night by leaving Terry on the bench for the Blues' Champions League victory over Shakhtar Donetsk, citing a lack of match fitness after the 31-year-old was limited to only one competitive outing in a month due to his domestic four-match racism ban.
It was arguably the first truly big game their skipper had missed when fit and available for almost a decade, but Di Mattteo said: "He's certainly a fantastic player for us and he will continue to be so and continue to be our captain and our leader when he plays."
However, it is precisely how often that is which is now far from a certainty.
"I don't think anybody's guaranteed a starting place," Di Matteo said. "They all have to work and be fighting for their place in the team.
"We've got a lot of competition in the team and they're all internationals. We've got an England international playing or a Brazil international, or a Serbia international.
"So, all of them are international players that have a lot of quality and they are at a very high level."
And that means further rotation as Chelsea get to grips with another punishing schedule of matches.
"To play every three or four days is very tough and demanding for everybody," Di Matteo said.
"And while we've got the options to change and bring in fresh players with the quality that we have in our squad, I think it's right to do so. Otherwise, we'll hit the wall at some point."

Color in the Kitchen: Lively Refrigerators
What better way to liven up the kitchen than with a pop of color decorating the fridge? This can come in the form of a new retro fridge or older classic appliance; a patterned decal or DIY chalkboard paint job. My grandmother still has a mustard yellow refrigerator from the 70's — beautifully maintained I might add — and it makes me smile every time I visit. So here are a few kitchens with personality, courtesy of the fridge of course!

Made reading archives work. The Darwin linker creates BSD ar archives, which (stupidly) always use the "extended filename" method to store filenames. For this reason I implemented the BSD extended filename method in paxinc's ar_next. Next to some fixes in the macho code not to free and unmap when this is not desired, this yields in a working scanmacho on static archives. The change has been checked with scanelf against a GNU ELF static archive not to break anything.
Properly terminate the list of archs of a fat file
Include arch by default, since it is important when displaying fat files
Implemented etype matching for scanmacho
Initial commit of Mach-O related files. (bug #236512) - added macho.h (Mach-O definitions) and scanmacho.c (the scanelf equivalent for Mach-O files) - changed the Makefile to compile scanmacho (tested compilation on Darwin and Solaris) - changed paxinc.h to include macho.h and paxmacho.h - extended paxmacho.[ch] with relevant code to read meta information from Mach-O files

Fairhaven School Superindentent
The opening of the new model Wood School in the fall of 2013 will result in the elimination of one building principal position. The retirement of the East Fairhaven School Principal Gerry Lucas will leave the district with a total of four building principals.
Mrs. Lucas has served in her current role since 2001. She was instrumental in leading a smooth transition that saw the combining of the Oxford School and East Fairhaven School communities in 2007. Most recently, the East Fairhaven School was among the 15 schools in the Commonwealth that were distinguished as Commendation Schools.
Beginning in the fall of 2013, Mrs. Wendy Williams will assume the duties of principal of the East Fairhaven School. While she has served in the district as an elementary principal since 2004, this will be an opportunity for Mrs. Williams to come back home and lead where she began her teaching career in Fairhaven as a fifth grade classroom teacher in 1997.
Mrs. Amy Hartley-Matteson will continue as the Wood School principal in the fall of 2013. Her exceptional community building skills provide a perfect fit to the needs of combining the Rogers and Wood School communities. Mrs. Hartley-Matteson began in her role as the Wood School principal in 2008.
A McKinsey and Company Report (2010) articulates how improving school systems throughout the world have strong commonalities in the nature of their journeys. The influence of leadership appears to be by far the most important factor in school improvement.
It goes on to state that leaders follow common practices, but most importantly have staying power. The continuity of a district's leadership team ensuring the priorities, drive, mindset, and resourcing of change must be sustained. Further, it is imperative that they actively foster the development of the next generation of district leadership ensuring a continuity of purpose and vision in sustaining the district's initiatives.
The Fairhaven Public Schools are so very fortunate to have had the guidance and direction of such a dedicated leader as Mrs. Lucas serve the district so well. As the district moves forward, it is privileged to have such a talented pair of elementary principals that will lead our two state-of-the-art elementary schools into the 21st century.
"The Fairhaven Public Schools, in partnership with families and the community, will ensure high-level learning for all children in a safe environment, so each can become independent, productive, and successful."

I use this carrier to go to & from bike rides. Keeps the front wheel from hitting the car. I like it carries my bikes lower than others I've used in the past. I like it locks the top bar clamp. Like the mechanical restraining better than "bungie cords". Bikes don't sway. I received mine with the bottom wheel holder tie down broken, can't find anyone who carries this part, my only complaint.

text: Hello, I ran into an issue recently whereby Webmin caused Apache to tank during what seemed to be a routine package upgrade. As it turns-out, Webmin uses 'apt-get install -y package-name', instead of 'apt-get upgrade', because the author is unaware of any means by which packages may be upgraded selectively using the latter command. The details of the issue are described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apache2/+bug/969426 I scoured the relevant documentation for apt-get and indeed, the Webmin author is correct. There appears to be no facility for upgrading specific packages. My question to the community is, how does Ubuntu's Update Manager upgrade packages individually? The interface provides a checkbox for each proposed update, and the user is able to pick-and-choose. If anyone has any insight, it would be most appreciated.

The Great Nurse-In will be held on August 4, 2012, 9:00am-4:00pm, on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. It will feature events and activities that support and empower current and future nursing mothers, and that educate and engage non-nursing community members.
Head out a day before the event for an "action day" on Friday, August 3, 2012, where GreatNurse-In attendees will contact their Congressional delegates to encourage support of stronger breastfeeding laws and policies that include enforcement provisions. While there are laws allowing public breastfeeding, the majority of those laws are unenforceable and many are restrictive. Additionally, without public awareness and education of these laws, the nursing mother continually has to defend her right to breastfeed in public and to pump in the workplace.
TheGreat Nurse-In has garnered national media attention, including coverage in the Washington Post and the Huffington Post. They expect upwards of 1,000 attendees from across the United States.

A group of local 10-to-12-year-old flag football players are readying themselves for an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the days leading up to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
A group of local 10-to-12-year-old flag football players are readying themselves for an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the days leading up to Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans.
Just like their NFL counterparts, these pint-sized warriors will also compete for a championship of their own, as members of the NFL's Play 60 flag football program.
According to the coach of the team, Tommy Meyer, he was charged with selecting a small group of boys late last year to participate in a regional tournament held in New Orleans.
None of the coaches and players could have predicted what would happen next.
After finishing as the runner-up in the eight-team tournament, Meyer received an unexpected call from a representative assigned to the NFL's Play 60 flag football program.
"He told me he was so impressed with the way we played that he wanted to offer us another shot at the regional in Houston," Meyer said. "After talking it over with the parents and kids, we decided to go out there."
Unlike the New Orleans regional when they dropped a decision to a talented Miami-based team, Meyer's squad won all its games on the way to capturing the Houston regional on Nov. 17.
"To go from the disappointment in New Orleans to how excited they were in Houston was amazing," Meyer said. "The way the guys gutted it out and persevered to win that championship game was awesome. They were hugging and crying and it was very memorable."
With the victory, the Thibodaux-based team moved on to compete in the championships slated for Tuesday at Lafreniere Park in Metairie.
The tournament will consist of the winners of the eight regionals, including New Orleans and Houston, where Meyer's team captured their title.
Meyer said what makes the upcoming tournament interesting is the coaches such as himself are not allowed to directly coach the team.
"We can't have any direct contact with them during the game," he said. "All we can do is watch what they do. They are responsible for making all the on field decisions."
Meyer said the game differs from regular football in the sense that you have to pick up 20 yards for a first down. He went on to say you receive three downs, there is a 10-minute running clock for both halves and the quarterback can't run the ball.
It is set up to be 5-on-5, Meyer said.
One of the players on the team is Sammy Avant. Avant said this is his first year playing flag football.
"I wanted to keep playing football, but just didn't feel like I was big enough to play tackle so I did this instead. It is fun because we are all friends," Sammy said.
His father, Brad, said he's excited for his son and his fellow teammates.
"We spoke about it the other day about how this is an opportunity that very few kids get to have," he said.
The nine-member team is made up of Jack Meyer, Aaron Arcement, Quinn-Michael Strander, Connor Richard, Jack Hunt, Peyton Amedee, Wes Toups, Miles Loker and Avant. Besides Tommy Meyer, the other coaches include Mike Richard and John Hunt.
Meyer said the team will have the opportunity to check out the NFL Experience before it opens up to the general public on Thursday, but doesn't know what will happen at the tournament if they happen to win it all.
"I really don't what they will do for us," he said. "They really haven't given us much in the way of details about all that. We just want the kids to go out there, play hard and have as much fun as they can. All of us are really proud of them."

Vasily Smyslov's 85th birthday interview, 2006
Two weeks have passed since 85th birthday of the seventh chess world champion, Vasily Smyslov. Vasily Vasilievich holds a record for the longest world championship performance career. He came second in the tournament for the vacant title aged 27, and reached the Candidates' tournament aged 65. He's a very gifted man and even at his venerable age still retains his great memory, sense of humour and creative aspirations. He's still an incomparable master of endgame studies.
Vasily Vasilievich, chess weren't a full profession back when you were young, and you've had a career dilemma for a long time. When did you finally make the choice?
I've been playing in serious chess tournaments since I was 14, but after graduating from school, I've decided to follow into my father's steps, who was an esteemed engineer even before the revolution. I've studied in the Moscow Aviation Institute for three years before realizing that I was essentially a humanitarian, and cannot study technical sciences in depth. I've also inherited two more passions from my father - chess and music. And I couldn't make a final choice between them for a long time. I might even say that I've been choosing for my whole life. When I was 30 and already had the Grandmaster title, I went to the auditions for the Bolshoi theatre. I've passed the first round, but failed at the second. Though, less than a year later, during a long Zurich tournament, I sang an aria from Leoncavallo's opera Pagliacci, and my performance was aired in many European countries. I was one of the first USSR citizens who had such an honour. I've often accompanied myself on the piano as well.
But you've never studied music formally.
I learned from my father at home. He was an amateur musician too, but Fedor Ivanovich Chaliapin once said that he sang very well, and my father was very proud of that. I've occasionally accompanied my father as well. But there's another Grandmaster who also took part in the Candidates' matches, and he plays piano much better than me - Mark Taimanov. He was my "piano man" at many performances throughout the years.
What repertoire did you have?
Modern youngsters would surely call me old-fashioned. Arias from operas, romances. I'm singing even the Italian songs in Russian, because I make a point of pronouncing everything correctly. The most "modern" song I've ever sang was Moscow Nights. My favourite composers are Tchaikovsky, Glinka, Rachmaninov, Grechaninov, some Italians. Classical music mostly.
But many people consider, say, The Beatles classic as well.
I must admit that those English guys had great songwriting talents, but I rather dislike their performance style - too loud, with heart-rending screams. And I cannot listen to the modern pop music at all. I think it's pure show business, without a gran of music in it. But perhaps I'm just too conservative and keep true to the musical preferences that people of my generation had in their youth. For instance, when I played the Candidates' final against Kasparov in Vilnius 1983, the divide between musician fans was quite clearly: the artists from Lithuanian Conservatory and opera theatre, including Virgilius Noreika, were rooting for me, while the touring pop artists, uncluding Alla Pugacheva, supported my opponent, who was 40 years younger.
Were the people often asking the questions like "A singing Grandmaster? How can that be?"
In our country, everyone got used to it. I've had many chances to sing duets with Kozlovsky, I've also performed at various concerts, evening parties of artists and chess players, even on the radio and TV. But in the 1990's, during a long tournament in Spain, I've often spoke with the "Moscow Virtuosos" orchestra who toured there. And someone offered: let Smyslov sing at the closing ceremony that will be held at an opera theater. The organizers thought that it was a joke and agreed. So, I was led to the stage, and everyone waited for that old chess player to fail. But I didn't. I sang several arias and romances, as usual, without a microphone. And the Spanish were astonished.
You failed an audition to the Bolshoi theater in 1951. Why didn't you try to audition at other theaters?
Soon after that, I've had a string of very strong tournaments that demanded more and more time and effort to prepare for. But combining professional chess playing with amateur singing allowed me to relax and rest much better than, say, alcohol that killed many talented players.
Were you interested in any other sports? Is chess more an art form or sport, what do you think?
I'll tell you an amusing story. In the beginning of the 1950's, I was at a reception at Nikolai Mikhailovich Zubarev's office, who was the head of chess department of the Physical Culture and Sports Committee. Some solid, imposing-looking man came in and said, "I have a very important and constructive offer." Zubarev sat him down and listened. He said, "It would be most beneficial to transfer the chess department from the Sports Committee to the Healthcare Ministry, because chess is healthy." Zubarev was perplexed. "Why do you think so, and which ministry are you from anyway?" The visitor answered that he'd recently finished his treatment at the Kaschenko psychiatric hospital, and after the patients started to play chess, the number of raving lunatics decreased. The funniest (and saddest, in a sense) thing was that several years later, chess was actually transferred from the Sports Committee juristiction to the Healthcare Ministry.
Was that psycho an influential man?
I think it's contrary: some influential men acted very unwisely, to put it mildly. After our footballers lost at the 1952 Olympics to the "enemy" Yugoslavian team (by the way, one of world's best at the time), the bigwigs started to search for scapegoats. The people who knew nothing about sport made some radical decisions that, among other things, deprived the main sports establishment in the country of many of its crucial functions. Thankfully, this stupid resolution was soon revoked. I've always liked other sports, and I was friends with many great sportsmen. I can't list everyone here, really. Among the older generation of footballers, I think Grigory Fedotov stood out. Of the younger ones, I can mention Viktor Ponedelnik who became a great journalist and writer upon retirement. I'll tell you: while Viktor was still playing, I was sure that he would apply his talents in many spheres of life. I'm glad that I wasn't mistaken. To become a good sportsman, it's enough to have a natural quickness and firm muscles. But you cannot become a great sportsman without great intelligence. I became even more sure of that after speaking with many great boxers. For instance, the USSR absolute boxing champion Viktor Ogurenkov trained me for several months...
...and you came into the ring after that?
No, I didn't. When I met Viktor Ivanovich, I was already over 40. If I were younger then... who knows? Ogurenkov, being a great coach, quickly devised a training plan for me that took my age in account and allowed me to stay in great physical shape, which is very important for a chess player during a strong tournament. Now they would call Viktor Ivanovich a great aerobics specialist. But this word wasn't known back then! And Ogurenkov also successfully trained the Olympic champion boxers!
As far as I know, you are a believer. Did it ever give you problems in the Soviet era?
I didn't visit churches in the Soviet years as often as after the perestroika, but still I visited them regularly. I was never a member of the Party - who could reproach me for that? Mikhail Botvinnik, for instance, was a staunch Communist for his entire life, so it was easier for him to get some appointments or benefits than for me. But, on the other hand, what title would mean more for me than the World Champion title? Still, despite such different world views, we've always respected each other. I would even say that we were friends, even though we both had very tough personalities.
I was a bit surprised when our chess players told me that Smyslov was friends even with "our enemy" Bobby Fischer...
How exactly was he an enemy?! He's a very talented man who loves chess with all his heart. He has his quirks, but who doesn't? I met Fischer when he was 15 or so. But he already successfully played against the adults, we've had many good conversations. I've been saying something in English, but he also understood Russian and especially Serbian words. He's also a very religious man - a Seventh-day Adventist. Perhaps Fischer's sympathy towards me was born out of my heartfelt admiration for him: such a young boy, and plays so greatly! Though I've never heard of Bobby doing some despicable or tactless things to any of his chess-playing colleagues. Even Spassky wasn't his enemy. Boris used to say about him, "He's our trade union boss!" The current high payouts for the Grandmasters became possible largely due to Fischer's efforts. So when Bobby had a problem in Japan (he was arrested for eight months), my heart was with him. I've once gave him a book of my endgame studies through my Hungarian colleagues. When they told me that Fischer always held that book close to him, I was very glad.
Still, it's strange to hear that the world's strongest chess players are so religious.
I've been visiting churches with my father since the very early age, and I couldn't imagine a different world view. I still can't understand how could a largely Orthodox nation accept militant atheism so quickly. I even think that many things in my life were predetermined. For instance, I've had a dream that I spoke with the great Caruso. He told me, "You sing very well for an amateur, but from the professional point of view, your breathing technique is wrong." And Caruso showed me how it must be done. I woke up and immediately went to my piano, and sang the way the great Caruso taught me. And so, I've completely changed my singing technique at age 55. This allowed me to keep my voice until now. Just four or so years ago, I've performed at the Bolshoi theater. If I were a materialist, would I take such a dream seriously? Or another story - how I met my wife, Nadezhda Andreevna. 55 years ago, I saw a beautiful woman in the office of some sport organization. But something stopped me from speaking to her. I've even thought that I'd never meet her again. But the very next day I went to the post office and saw her again! The most amazing thing was that Nadya didn't work in that sport organization, and went to that post office completely at random, for the first time. So, we were destined to meet! My house was always full of guests, and Nadezhda Andreevna made efforts to greet and feed everyone.
They say that she even influenced your decisions about adjourned games.
Mark Taimanov joked: "I play chess, but often can't understand the position. And with Smyslov's wife, it's the other way around!" Here's a very telling story: I've adjourned a game against master Lev Aronin at the 1962 USSR Championship. My position was hopeless, I was going to call the arbiter and say that I gave up without continuing. But Nadezhda Andreevna, without even looking at the position, told me that I had to go and play. I went to the play-off and drew the game. In all fairness, I have to add that Lyova - a great and generous guy - went to the restaurant with friends to celebrate his win against a strong Grandmaster right after the adjournment. Also an instructive moment.
You're known for your healthy lifestyle. Still, how can you explain your exceptional playing longevity?
I have indeed led a very healthy, active life, found gratification in various spheres. Never smoked. Drank occasionally, but only with right timing and dose. It's a good explanation, but it's very formal. If we dig deeper... Some players play rather like computers, calculating the variants constantly. When two such players are pitted against each other, not the more creative one wins, but the one who makes less mistakes. Other players understand the position intuitively. I consider myself one of those players. This approach gives less strain on the nervous system. Right now, chess is much more a sports show with a strict reglament than an art form. And any master's preparation includes more and more computer work.
Could you answer a dumb question? If the technical progress continues in such manner, would such situation be possible: during the match, a whole team of computer-equipped masters works for each grandmaster, and in complicated situations, the grandmasters receive a precisely calculated continuation through some means (for instance, through a small receiver implanted into the ear)?
I haven't heard of such things. Perhaps the chess players are afraid of bans for using external help. The time control also becomes tighter and tighter, so I can't imagine how a team of seconds can very quickly react to the opponent's move, process all the variants, choose the best one and then transmit it to the grandmaster discreetly. Can such thing be done in blitz that becomes more and more popular than the classic games? Right now, the grandmasters' thought processes are still much quicker than any procedures that you described. But in the future - who knows? The FIDE ex-president Florencio Campomanes once told me and Botvinnik: "You were born too early, you would have achieved much more today, when chess truly became a profession." But I'm even glad that I lived my life in the age of "chess knighthood", when the relationships between Grandmasters weren't marred by financial disputes. And now, computers are conquering the creative side of chess. For instance, Sam Lloyd's puzzles that fascinated many people of my generation are now solved in seconds by the computer. Many tabletop games have lost their competitive value. But, thankfully, computers still can't compose chess endgame studies. And I'm still composing them, and it gives me great satisfaction.
The Russian President congratulated you on your 85th birthday. Was that the first personal compliment from the head of state?
Vladimir Putin also sent me a telegram five years ago. In the past, the chess players were also quite welcome at the highest levels, though usually after winning something, not on their birthdays. For instance, in 1957, Voroshilov personally awarded me with the Order of Lenin after I became the World Champion. After winning the Chess Olympics, as a part of the Soviet team, I took part in many triumphant meetings. But before Putin, no high-profile politicians ever wished me a happy birthday. So I'm very happy now. And I remember how in 1994, an international social fund "Leonardo Cese" (spelling?) gave awards to the celebrities known for their charity work. I was among those who gave the gifts - I gave my book The Chronicles of Chess Creativity to Juan Antonio Samaranch, Viktor Chernomyrdin, Vitaly Smirnov and others. The TV mogul Ted Turner couldn't attend the ceremony in person, and his wife, Jane Fonda, asked to sign her a copy as well. One of her ex-husbands was a chess fan, and under his influence, Jane also started to like chess. I've also signed the books that were to be given to Princess Diana and Albert Gore. And when I gave the book to the St. Petersburg mayor Sobchak, he asked me to thank his "team" as well, that worked greatly on the organization of the Goodwill Games, and besides, there were many chess fans among them. I've signed ten more books. I hope that one of them wound up in the hands of the current Russian president who then worked as one of Sobchak's assistants. If, for some reason, Vladimir Vladimirovich doesn't have the book, I'll be glad to give it to him as a gift.
You've been at the top of the game for many years. Which politicians and celebrities were chess fans in your age?
Between 1948 and 1972, the World Championship was basically a domain of USSR. So, naturally, the sympathies of our politicians were divided. So if I mentioned some politicians but forgot others, I might seem biased. Your question reminded me about an episode from the life of a great Soviet actress Yablochkina, who became a star theater actress before the revolution. At one of her performances, she became nostalgic and said, "I was visited by counts, princes..." Some Party boss whispered to her, "Workers." And Yablochkova "corrected" herself: "I was visited by counts, princes and workers." My answer to you will be similar. Of all the politicians, I'll name only Nikolai Konstantinovich Baibakov, the former head of Gosplan. We were friends for many years, and our friendship wasn't affected by any appointments he ever had. I thought of him more as a great scientist, author of serious studies and high-cultured man than as a politician. We recently celebrated his 95th birthday, and I wish him to live even longer. And famous chess players were friends with many artists, actors, scientists, authors. The friendships were vastly different. For instance, I've never seen the tenor Ivan Semyonovich Kozlovsky who often sang with me, at the chess board. On the other hand, the composer Sergei Prokofiev and violinist David Oistrakh were good chess players. The physicist Petr Leonidovich Kapitsa was at least a Candidate Master-strong player. His range of talents amazed me. Everyone knows him as a scientist and a theoretician, but he could work with his hands as well. He could fix any clock, and he did wonderful things in the lab at his countryhouse.
I'm happy that through chess, I've been able to meet him and many other great people of my era. Both in my country and abroad. Chess are truly a language of international communication. Write that down: "Smyslov said that chess is a game for all people, from the higher up all the way down!"
Bonus track - Vasily Smyslov sings an aria from Rubinstein's opera Neron, "Vindex's Epitalama".

Do they strive to govern fairly for Australians of "every shape and size" or treat voters with contempt by dumbing things down?
As the year draws to a close, both sides of politics seem to be doing a little soul searching about what it means to tackle the big issues, and how leaders should go about representing the people.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard touched on the changing role of politics and modern-day leadership on Friday, but with a slightly rosier outlook than former coalition leader Malcolm Turnbull had a day earlier.
Ms Gillard marked South Australia's Proclamation Day on Friday by urging the nation's leaders to govern for all with "optimism and unity".
She said politicians must be equally determined to govern for all the people, for the families of "every shape and size", and help them navigate social change.
Mr Turnbull, however, said they were instead being drawn into "the game of politics as opposed to the responsibility of dealing with the big issues of our time" and said it had never been easier for people in public life "to get away with telling lies".
Speaking beneath the same gum tree in Adelaide at which the state's first governor declared SA a colony in 1836, Ms Gillard said Australia's leaders still must face up to tough decisions with a spirit of optimism and unity.
"Our task as leaders is to know how family life is changing today and to make family life easier for our people as it changes," she said in Adelaide.
"The juggling of demands, the changes in expectation.
"What doesn't change is that building the future requires leadership, facing up to tough decisions, optimism and unity."
But Mr Turnbull was scathing of his political colleagues and the media when he addressed an audience at the Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland on Thursday.
The federal member for Wentworth drew cheers as he attacked politicians and broadcasters for treating Australian battlers with contempt by dumbing down complex issues into "glib one-liners".
During his 11-minute speech, Mr Turnbull said politicians should deal with facts, not spin, adding the standard of political debate in 2012 had slipped.
"Broadcasters or politicians or writers who think that they are respecting Struggle Street, the battlers, by dumbing things down into one-line soundbites are not respecting them, they are treating them with contempt," he said on Thursday.
"It's our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them."

Better results for your mine water treatment
Comply with environmental laws and lower your costs by advancing your mine water treatment processes
Water plays a crucial role for mining operations. Not only the people working in mines rely on it but also many of the mining processes consume a lot of water. This can be a problem as a lot of mines are situated in remote areas without a sufficient access to water. And the preparation of the water used in processes like leaching or flotation consumes energy and chemicals. Finally, mines must discharge the used water back into the environment without harming it.
of the mining industry's CAPEX
is spent on water-related infrastructure according to the International Council on Mining & Metals (ICMM) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).More information on water in the mining sector
From desalination to discharge
More and more mines rely on water extraction processes like desalination via reverse osmosis to ensure their water supply. But such processes have to be closely monitored to ensure the results. Same goes for the preparation of the industrial water. Only with a tight control of parameters like pH and dissolved oxygen, the usage of energy and chemicals can be optimized. Same goes for the treatment of the water after it has been used to make sure, environmental regulations are fulfilled.
Water preparation
Wastewater treatment
Mine water treatment processes
Desalination with reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis is one of the most common desalination techniques. It relies on filtering the sea water through special membranes. The challenge is, to have as long as possible filtration cycles without harming the membranes which are prone to blockages and processes like fouling and scaling. Therefore the most important parameters besides flow is the differential pressure on the one side and water quality on the other which is monitored at the inlet.
Mining water preparation
One of the most important parameters for mining water is pH to ensure the efficiency of the settling and turbidity to determine the level of the suspended solids. Digital Memosens sensors are highly accurate and can be easily be calibrated without disturbing the process thanks to a removable head where data is stored. You can connect up to eight Memosens sensors to a Liquiline transmitter to make water quality control a breeze.
Wastewater treatment
When it comes to treating wastewater, the main challenge is to find the ideal balance between effluent quality and costs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by sbrya28 from LOVING THE PETITE LENGTH!!!! I am 5 ft 3 in and 130 lbs and 36DD chest, and I bought this dress in a Medium Petite. I normally wear Small, but when I tried on the Regular Small dress in store, it was really tight around the hips and waist. So I figured to go up one size. The MP fits perfectly! It can be worn with wedge heels or flat sandals which is an accomplishment finding a dress like that for a shorter person! This dress is curve hugging and very flattering. The fabric is light and great for summer. The dress would also be cute with a denim jacket over to wear in the fall! I would definitely recommend this dress!

Rated 2 out of 5 by beck3421 from Could have been better... This quality of this dress is great; the color is beautiful; the fit is perfect! The only complaint I have is that the narrower horizontal stripes at the waist make you look wide in the waist, opposite of what we girls want, and I have a tiny waist! I would have kept if this were not so.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenn41 from Beautiful dress The dress is beautiful but the waist has no stretch to it. It was hard to get on over my head or over my hips but once it was on, it fit perfect. I wish the seams at the waist had a little give to it. I love the material and the colors.
