STATE v. BRIAN FIELDING, SC 18184
Judicial District of Danbury
Criminal; Appellate Jurisdiction; Whether the Appellate Court Properly Dismissed, For Lack of a Final Judgment, the State's Appeal from an Order Granting the Defendant's Pretrial Request for Copies of Alleged Pornographic Material Seized from his Home. The defendant was charged with possession of child pornography. During the pretrial proceedings, he moved for an order requiring the state to produce copies of the alleged pornographic material that was seized from his home. He asserted that the copies were needed to allow his forensic computer expert to evaluate the evidence and to allow him to prepare a defense. On April 30, 2007, at the hearing on the defendant's motion, the defendant argued that no state law prohibited him from obtaining the requested materials. He acknowledged that there was a bill pending in the General Assembly that would prohibit criminal defendants from copying material that constitutes child pornography if the state makes that material reasonably available to them. He argued, however, that this bill, even if passed, would not be effective until October of 2007. On June 18, 2007, the trial court granted the defendant's motion and imposed a number of restrictions on the use and handling of the copies. The state moved for reconsideration, noting that on July 11, 2007, the aforementioned bill had been signed into law. The trial court denied the state's motion, and the state appealed. The Appellate Court, sua sponte, ordered a hearing on whether the state's appeal should be dismissed for lack of a final judgment. At the hearing, the state argued that the trial court's June 18, 2007 ruling satisfied the final judgment test set forth in State v. Curcio, 191 Conn. 27, 30-31 (1983). The Appellate Court disagreed and dismissed the appeal. In this appeal, the state argues that the Appellate Court improperly found that its appeal was not taken from a final judgment. It also argues that even if its appeal to the Appellate Court was not taken from a final judgment, the Supreme Court should now review the trial court's ruling pursuant to General Statutes § 52-265a (a), which permits an interlocutory appeal of a question involving a matter of substantial public interest and in which delay may work a substantial injustice.

Acer is going to try to make a major purchase in the PC world this year and says it will pass Lenovo to become the third largest computer maker in the world.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Acer Chairman and CEO J.T. Wang said the Taiwan-based company wants to make a meaningful acquisition of another PC maker this year. "We are looking at some candidates which we want to pick up," he said.
With an acquisition under its belt, Acer would likely pass Lenovo to become the No. 3 PC maker in the world. Even without an acquisition, however, Acer will likely pass Lenovo, based in mainland China, anyway, Wang said. Acer will likely grow units by 30 percent or more this year, he said, while the industry will grow at a slower rate.
Acer has been one of the key companies to watch in the PC sector for the last several years. It has grown faster than any other major PC maker since 2003, outpacing larger rivals like Dell and smaller ones with greater name cachet like Apple and Toshiba that have benefited, respectively, from music players and increased shipments of laptops.
In 2003, the company only had 2.9 percent of the worldwide market and wasn't in the top five. In the fourth quarter of last year, market share went to 7.1 percent, more than twice the 2003 number.
The company's strategy has largely been to make notebooks and desktops that are some of the least expensive in the mid- to high-price bands. It has also concentrated on growing markets like Europe and Asia, although it will start to put more emphasis on North America.

Thanks for your feedback!
Great summer read!Inseverable is the first story in Cecy Robson's new adult series Carolina Beach. I've read a couple of her Shattered Past novels and really enjoyed them, and the plot (and cover!) of this new story appealed to me so I was quite happy to pick it up for review. Trinity is spending one more summer on Kiawah Island as a head lifeguard, before heading off in the fall for a two year Peace Corps assignment. She's had her heart broken once but it hasn't stopped her cheerful, indomitable spirit. She's determined to enjoy this one last summer with her friends and co-workers. She's not looking for a relationship, but the quiet newcomer behind the bar at her favourite hang out calls to her. Callahan is recently retired from his stint in the army, and using the summer, and the house he inherited from his uncle on the island to take stock of his life. He suffers from PTSD and isn't interested in making any friends. But Trinity manages to slip past his guard and suddenly the future doesn't look so desolate anymore. But what will happen when he finds out the woman he's losing his heart to doesn't plan to stick around? Oh my goodness, do I love Trinity! She has to be one of my absolute favourite female characters that I've read in a new adult romance. Her cheerful indomitable spirit and unflagging optimism, combined with her friendly and generous actions and attitude made her such a sweetheart! She definitely comes across as the friend you can count on in a pinch and the one you can call when you're in trouble. She loves everyone and everyone loves her - well, except for Callahan. To Callahan, who is absolutely not looking for any kind of friend as he sorts through his life, Trinity is like this annoying butterfly that keeps flitting around him. It was so funny the way he kept trying to ignore her, and she just kept coming back to coax him out of his shell, going so far as to show up really early on his morning run routes and making it her mission to coax a smile out of him. I just loved her genuine concern and care for Callahan and how she could sense that he needed someone to be persistent in their attention to prove to him that he was worth befriending. As Callahan starts to return her attentions, things heat up between them and a red-hot summer affair is the result. While the initial part of the story was full of laughs and good humour as Trinity worked her magic on Callahan, it does turn to a more emotional story as Callahan shares his PTSD issues with Trinity (once he trusts her). Your heart breaks for this young man and what he's gone through in his short life, but at the same time there is the hope that Trinity's efforts will be a balm to his soul. I confess there were some tears on my end at some parts of the story to mingle with the laughs - but that just goes to show how involved I became in their relationship and how much I was rooting for this couple to succeed. But Trinity, when she realizes that she and Callahan are really coming to care for each other, knows that she's made a mistake - her friends know she's leaving at the end of the summer but Callahan doesn't. Now that he's found his heart and home with her, how can she rip that away from him? Aagh! So much tension in that second half as you wait for the news to come out and the fallout. It doesn't seem possible that there could be a happy ending but the author skillfully weaves it all together into a truly wonderful (and sexy!) romance with a happy ending. I loved meeting all of Trinity's friends too (lots of laughs in this group of obviously dedicated long time friends) and I can't wait to read the next story in this series! 5 stars for a perfect summer beach read!by Maria Rose on June 26, 2016

WOW!An astonishing story about growing, growing as a human being, to be the person you are meant to be, growing in a relationship, as you hopelessly, helplessly, and utterly are falling in love. Such a beautiful tale, it took my breath away, and left me in awe, needing a moment to regroup myself. The story is told in first person, and from both, Trinity and Callahan's point of view. As often with the 1st POV, the angst, the tension is high. You feel the pain, the hurt, the joy, the fear, and you feel it so much more intensely. And there's lots of the pain, that both Trinity and Callahan carry with themselves, though very different kind. Trinity's self esteem was low, because of her past relationship and the way it ended, with betrayal and lies. Callahan, he is in pieces after his experience in the war, as a sniper. Together, they grow, their wounds heal, the feelings get deeper, and love blooms, so fragile, yet there. But it isn't all smooth riding, without any waves. The story, it doesn't only break the heart, it felt like it shattered the soul, and then brought it back again, anew, better, healed, stronger. There are moments of such deep pain, sorrow, hurt, yet they are balanced with joy, glee, lust, and passion. There's heat, that makes you blush, and moments that got a deep belly laugh out of me. Laugh that just continued on and on, because Trinity, her mother, and really Sean as well, all provide some comic relief at times. I loved the respect the author paid to the servicemen and women, the pain and wounds they carry after their experiences, are deep, and often overlooked. I loved how the necessary care for them, and their needs, were highlighted in the story. The bonding between Callahan and Trinity's father was beautiful, as two men, who has faced the unthinkable, helped each other heal, deal with the past, and be whole again. This is a story, that no two people will read the same tale, one will see it as an incredibly hot and sexy love story, that it is. Other, will see it as the story of a wounded soldier, the healing process that is needed after all the pain and death of a war. There's the fun summer on the beach, lifeguards, the human interactions, the poor boy falling in love with the rich girl in the south, and the consequences of that, the reactions of their families. There's so much in this story, that it truly filled my mind, my heart, did good for my soul. ~ Five Spoonsby Books & Spoons on July 04, 2016

Small tweaks can make all the difference when filling out a car insurance quote
It may feel like a billion questions but your name, age, job, driving history, where you park, type of car etc. all add up to a price. Your car insurance is calculated by looking at similar people's lifestyles and driving records.
Rushing through and putting in the wrong info, even when shopping around, could cause you to have inaccurate quotes and potentially invalid policies. It is worth taking your time filling in the forms to make sure your policy is right, and you get the best deal for you. Plus you won't have to do it all a second time around with the right information.
If you are a young or elderly driver you could face higher premiums. Stating the obvious, right? But, it's worth noting that different providers have different ways of defining age groups. If this info is wrong by even a day it could affect the price of your policy.
It's tempting to use a fake name or type in any old gumpf when shopping for a quote. Who would think your name makes a difference? Well it does. Typing in the wrong name will only result in invalid policies and inaccurate quotes.
Things that don't affect your quote
Don't lie, but you can tweak your job description. Different jobs are considered different insurance risks. One of the factors being how much they are perceived to travel. Journalists, chefs and entertainers often being on the higher end of the scale.
Make sure you haven't accidentally labelled yourself with a more expensive job description. Try out varying ways to describe what you do, see what insurers deem to be less risky and therefore cheaper to insure.

Irving, Texas - The Tiger baseball team swept a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader on the road against the University of Dallas (TX) on Friday.
Trinity won 8-0 in the opening game, securing the team's second shutout of the season. The Tigers then rallied from a 3-0 deficit to take a 5-3 victory.
The scoring in game one started with a three-run second inning for the Tigers, and then the visitors put the game away with three more runs in the ninth.
Dallas got its first runs of the day with two runs in the bottom of the third of game two, and then added another in the fourth to take a 3-0 lead.
Trinity tied the game with single runs in the sixth, seventh, and eighth innings, and then took the lead with two more scores in the top of the ninth.
The Tigers have won six of their last seven games, and stand at 19-13 overall, and 8-6 in the SCAC. The Crusaders dropped to 12-23 and 3-11.
Dylan McGee and Chris Tate combined for the eight-hit shutout in game one, and the Tiger duo combined for 14 strikeouts against just one walk.
Tate finished with 10 strikeouts in six innings of relief in the opener, allowing just four hits, and earning the victory to improve to 3-2 this season.
Parker Cormack was 3-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in the first game, while George Haaland picked up two hits and a game-high three RBI.
Scott Walters also had three hits in the game, while Dalys Binder finished with two hits and two runs scored, and Zachary Oretsky also drove in a pair of runs.
James Nittoli (1-1) and Kevin Flores pitched five shutout innings of relief in game two, setting up the Tiger offense to mount its comeback.
Nittoli allowed just one walk over four innings, while Kevin Flores retired the side in order to earn his second save of the season.
Rafe Chaumette went 3-5 in the second game, driving in the eventual game-winner with his ninth-inning double.
Binder had two hits once again in the second game, while Walters added two more hits to his day's total, and finished with five total hits in the two games.
The two teams conclude their series with a single game at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday.

Dollar Tree DIY: Gleeful Glitter Trees
Now that Thanksgiving is over we can start talking about Christmas, and nothing says the holidays are here like an assortment of sparkling trees, right? This easy peasy do-it-yourself craft will ensure you have plenty of such trees around your home when the season hits. Not only are these gleeful glitter trees sweet to look at, but they are fun, festive, and oh so frugal to make too. Take a look how a quick trip to the Dollar Tree is all you need to make your own.
DIY Gleeful Glitter Trees
Supplies Needed:
Golden cone tree ornaments (These are plastic, gold glittered trees that can be found in the ornaments section, they are actually ornaments.)
An assortment of craft or spray paints. Spray is easier to use and works quickly, but use whatever you already have.
Assorted glitter (check out the craft aisle at Dollar Tree)
1. Begin by placing the gold cones on a piece of old newspaper. This will protect your surface when painting.
2. Apply a generous coat of spray paint (easiest to use) or craft paint. You can use traditional colors such as red and green, but we chose some fun pastels instead for our project. Use whatever paint you have around the home and see what you can come up with!
3. Allow some drying time and apply a second coat of paint.
4. While your second coat of paint is still wet, sprinkle the cones liberally with glitter. You can use coordinating glitter or add an additional pop of color by using a color contrasting to your paint color.
5. Now, just allow additional drying time. Give the cones a gentle shake when dry in order to remove the access glitter.
Since we had some paint around the house already, our total cost to make three trees as shown was just $4 for the cones and glitter! You sure can't beat that, and there is no way you could buy adorable holiday décor that looks like this in a boutique or retail store even for that price. Create a bundle of them and group them together as we did for real impact. You could even add some faux snow around their bases as an added effect.
So head to your local Dollar Tree store and give this simple and frugal DIY project a try. You are sure to come up with something just as sweet!
Happy crafting!

text: We found substantial credible evidence of public nudity at the Roundup. Most of the accounts involved men on their way to and from the bathrooms. Other accounts involved behavior that appears to have been generally quite juvenile and in bad taste. Nonetheless, we found no criminal activity from the mere fact of nudity at a private function on private property. Some people we interviewed saw it merely as a byproduct of excessive alcohol consumption. We found no one in attendance who was offended by such activity or who had sought to curb it.

Van Persie, a £24 million signing from Arsenal last season, scored a contender for goal of the season with a stunning first-half volley which Ferguson described as the 'Goal of the Century.'
After watching Van Persie move clear of Luis Suárez in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot with his three goals, Ferguson revealed that Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger had claimed that the 29-year-old would prove even better than he expected in a Manchester United shirt.
And Ferguson paid his centre-forward the ultimate compliment by insisting none of his previous signings — including Cantona, the catalyst of United's 1990s dominance — can match Van Persie's impact in his first season at Old Trafford.
"In terms of impact, Robin has made as big an impact as any player I can imagine," Ferguson said. "Cantona made an incredible impact as a player here and I've had some great strikers, maybe ten great strikers in my time at the club.
"But Van Persie has been unbelievable and I think that he has to take a lot of the credit [for title].
"I think his goals tell you that and his performance levels told you that, but I'm sure Robin would be saying what a great bunch of players he's had with him. They are a great bunch of players in there.
"We had an expectation of him. He was sensational for Arsenal last year, but Arsene said he was better than I'd think after I'd done the deal and he was right.
"When you identify a great player coming to end of contract, if you think he should be a United player, you go for it, no matter who he is.
"And he has never disappointed us. He has been incredible and his early form was fantastic.
"He had a dry spell, as most strikers do, but he has come back from that and he was unbelievable tonight.
"His second goal was the goal of the century for me. It was marvellous – the technique with his head down, over the ball and just perfect timing. It was a magnificent strike."
Van Persie, who returns to the Emirates with United for the first time on Sunday, will claim the first title medal of his career when the champions receive the Premier League trophy against Swansea City at Old Trafford on May 12.
And he admits he has endured an agonising wait to be able call himself a title-winner.
"I am very happy, but it is weird," Van Persie said. "I had to wait so long for my first title, so it is a great feeling.
"It is a fantastic team and fantastic players. It is a championship for every single one of them. The staff, the manager, the physios.
"This is our 20th title and it is deserved. The second goal was one the best goals. I only had to time it right.
"It was one of the best I've scored, but it was an incredible ball from Wayne and the most important thing about it was that it made it 2-0."
United's victory, which deepened Villa's relegation worries, saw Ferguson's team move 16 points clear of City, who have a game in hand, and maintained the prospect of United setting a new Premier League record of 96 points in a season.
Despite the milestone which is within United's reach, Ferguson has had to defend his team against claims that it does not compare with his best sides, and the Scot insisted that the future will prove him right.
"We have, what, 84 points?" Ferguson said. "At this stage of the season, we have never done that.
"That pedestal is there, players have joined that pedestal, and we have some outstanding young players.
Rafael has been fantastic — he will go on to be compared to Gary Neville — while Phil Jones, with the way he is looking, he could be our best ever player.
"At 21, he is some player and he can play absolutely anywhere.
"Jones, Ferdinand and Vidic are comparable to all the defenders we have had. I'm not saying they are better, but great players are great players.
"Nostalgia does play tricks on people. We all think that things were better in previous times, but it is dead easy to say (that past teams are better than this one).

"This could arguably be [our best ever squad]. There is a lot of youth and a lot will get better, we expect that."
With Manchester City manager claiming he attitude of United's players proved the difference between the two teams this season, Ferguson insisted that the Italian was only half right.
"I read his (Mancini) quote and he is right in one respect," Ferguson said.
"In the games between us, there was nothing in it, but in the other games it has been different. He doesn't recognise that we have been better in the other games against the other teams.
"But it is sweet to win the title and it doesn't matter when you win it, the consistency has been phenomenal.
"We have lived up to the expectation and our consistency for the last 20 years has been unbelievable"

Update: progress of the bill to abolish right to buy in Wales
Matthew Kennedy reports on CIH Cymru position and the progress of the bill to abolish the right to buy in Wales, following an evidence session that CIH Cymru attended.
On the day CIH Cymru provided evidence to the Equalities, Local Government and Communities Committee at the National Assembly for Wales on the Abolition of the Right to Buy (RTB) and Associated Rights, it's timely to remind ourselves on why this policy change is sorely needed.
Let's start off by saying, it isn't the answer to the housing crisis in Wales, but it is an important step forward to ensuring the supply of social housing is maintained and boosted, without further loss of homes. Despite the policy having boosted rates of homeownership, that alone doesn't tell the complete story. The Welsh Government's own research suggests that around 4,500 properties purchased under the RTB have now been returned into the private rented sector, where additional costs to the public purse through housing benefit is around £4.4 million per year.
The uptake in recent years has not been anywhere near the level experienced in previous periods where spikes in applications largely came when the level of discount was reduced, most recently in 2003/04. (7,000 homes were sold during this year). Some local authorities have successfully applied to suspend the RTB locally, based on there being an acute housing need. But that being said, there has been a steady increase in applications in recent times.
We also know from our discussion with members that the RTB has left a legacy of challenges that includes issues involving housing maintenance and the upkeep of homes (particularly in blocks of flats under leaseholder arrangements) and in addressing anti-social behaviour issues where mixed communities provide a more complicated landscape for landlords where individuals do not come under the remit of a tenancy agreement.
Whilst we believe abolition is the right way to go, that doesn't negate the fact that housing professionals will face challenges in managing the 1 year lead-in period to its full abolition in Wales. Whilst the spike will vary from area to area and unless a change is brought in, it'll only potentially be seen in areas where the RTB is not currently suspended. Professionals will need to consider what resources will be required to deal with additional queries, including legal advice and assistance in some instances.
The bill also states that qualifying landlords will need to communicate the information published by Ministers within two months of the bill coming into force, or within one month of the information being produced – whichever comes first. With this in mind it'll be important for housing professionals to give thought to the strategy through which this information will be publicised. The sector has developed considerable expertise in engaging changes on legislative changes impacting tenants – this expertise and utilising good practice will once again be required.
Abolition of the RTB in Wales signifies an important policy change to protect the supply of high quality social housing. But there can be no distracting from the fact that boosting the supply of homes must continue to be the focus and priority. Elements that have far more bearing on boosting supply would be things like the availability of land, planning department capacity and construction skills availability.
Therefore whilst we can welcome the policy intention of this bill, we must keep our eye on the ball when it comes to the longer term ability of the sector to boost the supply of high quality homes that are affordable to heat and maintain.

House bill would regulate government, private use of drone photography in NHBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
January 30. 2014 3:55PM
CONCORD -- The New Hampshire House's top privacy advocate is back with a second try in two years at regulating the use of aerial drone photography and broadcasts by government agencies and private individuals.
Rep. Neal Kurk, R-Weare, told the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee Thursday drones are becoming increasingly prolific as they become less expensive. Many models available for private use cost as little as $50, he said, and either contain or are equipped to carry photographic or broadcast equipment.
It is time, Kurk said, for a clear statute that allows law enforcement officials to do their jobs and individuals to use drones and drone photography as long as they do not infringe on the privacy rights of Granite Staters.
After a similar bill was tabled last year, Kurk's House Bill 1620 would ban the use of drones by state, local or federal agencies unless:
- they are necessary to counter a "high risk" of a terrorist attack,
- the agency first obtains a search warrant based on probable cause,
- the use is for a "legally-recognized exception" to the search warrant requirement, or
- the government has a "reasonable suspicion" that quick action is needed to "prevent imminent harm to life or serious damage to property.
Drones are also allowable under the bill to prevent either the escape of a suspect or the "destruction of evidence."
Using a drone under those circumstances must be limited to 48 hours, and within 24 hours of the use of a drone, the government agency must report its use to the Attorney General's Office, which must post annual reports on drone use.
Except in those cases, government agencies must obtain prior written consent of the subject of drone surveillance. Private individuals photographing from a drone must receive written consent in all cases.
The bill forbids the use of any drone equipped with a weapon.
Anyone, including government employees or contractors, who violates the bill, should it become law, would be guilty of a class B felony. A government agency in violation would be subject to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.
Kurk clarified that the bill is not aimed at stopping private drone enthusiasts from using them in public places and unintentionally capturing the image of another person on the drone's camera.
His stressed that his bill forbids "surveillance," which is defined in the bill as "intentionally" monitoring or observing an individual or group of people, or "the interior of a building or structure."
He said the bill is also not intended to stop drone photography of public events, such as rallies, or even riots, or events generally considered newsworthy by news organizations.
However, the bill does forbid intentional surveillance even in public places.
Kurk said he has honed the bill to try to balance privacy rights with the First Amendment right of someone to take photograph. He noted that nine states currently have laws regulating the use of drones.
He also said the bill contains a "preemption" provision that recognizes the authority of the federal government to supersede state law in certain areas.
Although the bill regulates the use of drones by government entities, including the federal government, he said it recognizes federal authority, "so if the Federal Aviation Administration acts or Congress passes legislation that allows things to happens that would affect this bill, the federal law or rule would supersede the state law."
Kurk's bill earned the support of the New Hampshire Department of Safety.
"This new technology is no doubt coming," said Assistant Safety Commissioner Earl Sweeney. "We would not favor an outright ban on its use as it could be a valuable tool if used the right way."
Sweeney said that "at first glance, the bill makes enough of an effort to accommodate legitimate, constitutional law enforcement that we would not object to its passage."
Devon Chaffee, executive director of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, called it "a very strong bill," but cited First Amendment problems regarding taking photographs by drone of individuals in public places.
Chaffee said taking photographs in a public place "is a form of expression covered by the First Amendment, and I'm not sure this bill gets at that issue. There are instances in which a person may be purposely taking a photo with a drone at a public vantage point.
"We do not support the bill as written because of First Amendment concerns," Chaffee said.
Jay Francis, a self-described model aircraft enthusiast from Merrimack, said the bill makes no allowance for photographing someone "where no reasonable expectation of privacy exists."
He asked how "intent will be determined" under the bill's definition of surveillance.
Francis said the bill, as written, infringes on his right to fly a model aircraft with cameras in public places. He said the bill is not necessary because existing state privacy laws address many of the issues covered by the bill.
Curtis Barry, lobbyist for the New Hampshire Association of Broadcasters, argued that the bill contains no protection for broadcast photographers doing their jobs in public places.
The committee also held a brief hearing on a separate bill that would regulate the use of drones only by government agencies.
House Bill 1361 would forbid the use of drones by a law enforcement agency without a search warrant or under the same exceptions and conditions outlined in Kurk's bill.
"Americas don't want snooping or spying going on," said the sponsor, Rep. Joe Duarte, R-Candia. "Americans are saying 'no' to drones."

From the historic to the state-of-the-art, from the intimate to the spacious, McDonogh's expansive facilities support all student endeavors in the visual and performing arts.
Located in the heart of campus, the Burck Center reflects McDonogh School's commitment to arts education for all ages.
Situated on the the lower level of the Edward St. John Student Center is the spacious, open, and airy dance facility.
Considerable studio spaces locally situated in the Lower, Middle, and Upper schools provide visual artists from all three divisions with space and resources.
The Tuttle Gallery is the premiere display space for student and professional art exhibitions. Each year, the Tuttle Gallery features exhibits of original works by McDonogh students, alumni, and visiting artists whose work has been displayed nationally. Tuttle Gallery, located on the third floor of the Edward St. John Student Center, is open during school hours. The gallery holds extended hours for exhibit openings. Oletha DeVane is director and curator.
The Tuttle Gallery opened in 1980 as a memorial to Stiles Ewing Tuttle. Longtime art department head E. Carey Kenney, who passed away in 2012, was its first curator.
McDonogh's historic, non-denominational chapel is set atop peaceful Chapel Hill, overlooking the front of campus and the main drive. With its marvelous acoustics, the chapel is used as the rehearsal space for McDonogh's Upper School choral ensembles and as the performance venue for the Concert Choir's annual Winter Holiday Concert. The chapel is home to a large pipe organ, a baby grand piano, and the 48-bell carillon.
There is plenty of outdoor space available for visual and performing arts activities. The sprawling campus provides a lovely setting for visual artists on warm days. Outdoor performances have been held on Childs Memorial Terrace at the foot of Chapel Hill. The Lower School's Carpenter Outdoor Classroom, a tiered amphitheater outside Elderkin Hall, is designed for performances, demonstrations, and improvisational theater. The Upper School's Blumberg Outdoor Classroom outside Keelty Building is yet another venue.

mastopexy is another name for a breast lift. If you are dissatisfied with the contour
of your breasts, you might consider speaking with a plastic surgeon about
having a mastopexy in Manhattan. Many women include a mastopexy as part
of a mommy makeover, which may also include laser liposuction and a tummy
tuck. For example, you could undergo laser liposuction on your hips and
abdomen, along with a breast lift to improve skin laxity. Some women also
choose to have breast augmentation along with a breast lift.
To perform a mastopexy, the plastic surgeon will make several small incisions.
He or she removes excess skin from the area and reshapes the breast tissue.
Sometimes, a surgeon may use liposuction under the arm area for visually
pleasing results. Then, the surgeon repositions the areola and nipple.
Some women may prefer to have the size of the areola reduced. The breast
lift does not jeopardize a woman's ability to breastfeed.

"Lo sentimos, pero estos 20 dólares son falsos".
"Sorry, but this 20 dollar bill is fake."
Nos explicaron que los dólares falsos eran considerados parte de la moneda del país. Los camboyanos se los pasan de mano en mano, deshaciéndose de ellos en cuanto tienen oportunidad. Esa misma noche, mientras caminábamos por la calle, nos topamos no con 20 dólares falsos, sino con dos billetes falsos de 100 dólares.
We had been told that fake dollars are considered part of Cambodia's day to day economy. They are treated like real dollars and are passed to other people, when given the chance. One night, while walking along the streets of Phnom Penh, we didn't stumble upon a fake 20 dollar bill, but two 100 dollar bills. We later discovered that these bills are sold openly from shops to be used as offerings to buddha. Obviously, some people prefer to use them as "real" notes. If you go to Cambodia… You have been warned!
We got rid of those 20 bucks as soon as we could. We suppose that the person who received the note got rid of it as well, all in good time.

The mention of "offshore trusts" and "offshore investments" can create visions of exotic locales, numbered bank accounts, mysterious meetings, and secret passwords. There might be some small bit of reality in those visions, but there are practical and financially sound reasons that many wealthy Americans use offshore trusts and make offshore investments as a part of a well thought out asset protection/estate plan.
Many professionals and others with significant wealth who are concerned about the potential for abusive lawsuits and are put-off by repeated violations of personal privacy, see the offshore trust or offshore investment as an important part of their over-all financial and estate plan.
The attorneys of the Vose Law Firm are knowledgeable about the laws of various offshore jurisdictions, which might be used as a home for your offshore trust. The structuring and creation of an offshore trust is extremely complex, with many issues that must be appropriately addressed.

Review by:
Dick Claassen
on July 30, 2010 :
Serpent Caravan by Rob Shelsky is the tale of an odyssey and struggle of stranded colonists. Sent to a marginal world, one barely suited for human habitat, these people struggle to survive in a place where they hope the alien Sinaquan won't find them. These invading creatures are intent on the extermination of all human life.
However, the exhausted world of Viejo, an earth-sized planet orbiting the gas giant Prometheus, isn't hidden quite well enough. The Sinaquan do find the humans, even as they are looking for a new site for their colony, a more hidden one. After their attack, the few remaining survivors must find some place safe to try to make a life for themselves. This isn't easy. Viejo swims in the radiation belt of its gas giant neighbor, making the mere fact of being out in the open just too dangerous. The planet also has migrating seas, which means the colonists can only travel between sea rise, and sea fall. The days are weeks long and hot. The nights are just as long, and so cold, even some of the air freezes. On top of all this, there are the dreaded "swarmers." These creatures travel in hordes, and seem intent on consuming everything in their path. The colonists have no choice but to wend their dangerous way through all of this, trying to find safety and salvation at the end of their long journey in their armored Serpent Caravan.
I heartily recommend this book. It is a true odyssey done in the traditional sense, and one done under harrowing circumstances. You can't help but sympathize with these people, feel for them, the difficulties they go through, the hardships they endure, the awful alien menaces they face. Also, the real reason they were sent to the world of Viejo turns out to be a good twist. Without giving away the details, I can still say that the moral of this is to never trust your own government, as the colonists find out the hard way.
Superbly written with beautifully done descriptions and well fleshed-out characters and plot, Serpent Caravan, by Rob Shelsky, is a jewel of story telling, a good, solid piece of science fiction. I give this tale all five stars. It's worth it. Read Serpent Caravan. I guarantee you will enjoy it.

The World of Mrs. Perkins
This website is an historic guide to Union College as it stood at the turn of the twentieth century. It is based upon information and stories gleaned from the recent donation to the College of a treasure trove of over 700 letters written between 1895 and 1904 by Anne Dunbar Potts Perkins, beloved campus resident, creator of Mrs. Perkins' Garden, and wife of Maurice Perkins (Union College Professor of Chemistry, 1865-1901).
All of the letters were written to family members while Mrs. Perkins was not only living in the center of the Union College campus (in what is now Hale House), but also deeply involved in its intellectual and social life. They reveal Mrs. Perkins to have been a vivid writer and woman who actively pursued her own work while recording her lively interest in national as well as local and family affairs. Mrs. Perkins' letters are also an incomparably rich source of information about College and student life during the period; they help recover the perspective of the many women who lived on campus at a time when the College officially only admitted young men.
Use the links on the left to explore an interactive map of the campus as Mrs. Perkins knew it, background information about Union during the time her letters were written, biographies of selected individuals and families important to Mrs. Perkins, a list of the plants she cultivated in her garden, and self-guided walking tour information. Photographs, postcards and other material from Schaffer Library's Special Collections are also provided throughout the site to illustrate the places and individuals mentioned prominently in Mrs. Perkins' letters.

Hi All,

Using different sampling rate 125MS, 62.5MS, 31.25MS, and 15.625MS to look at 4MHz received signal, I can see the noise floor increase when I reduce the sampling rate as: 0.095175mV, 0.133119mV, 0.188294mV, 0.275001mV. I am wondering what is the reason?
Thanks a lot.

The 80-acre water park, which is handily adjacent to a large shopping mall, is a slightly newer Malay version of Siam Park. Pay your money and get a rubber wristband which acts like a debit card for any spending inside the fun park which consists of an amusement park, a mini zoo and the water park with its faux beaches, death-defying slides and world's largest beach, complete with a man-made 75 feet high volcano as a background.

We're working with BP, the South Australian Research and Development Institute, University of Adelaide and Flinders University to unlock the mysteries of the Great Australian Bight's vast area of ocean and coast.
The challenge
We need to know more about the Great Australian Bight
The Great Australian Bight is a unique environment that is home to a variety of iconic marine species and supports Australia's largest commercial fishery.
The area also houses an abundance of marine resources and wealth which can be realised for the benefit of all Australians.
However, relatively little is known about this vast body of water and how it supports such diverse marine life. We have to know what is there and understand how the ocean system works to be able to predict and measure any environmental impact resulting from development.
Our response
The Great Australian Bight research program
We're improving our understanding of the environmental, economic and social value of the Great Australian Bight through the largest whole-of ecosystem study ever undertaken in Australia.
The $20 million four-year project, which began in April 2013, has two major aims:
- understand the unique marine environment and potential marine resources
- provide the science to decision makers to support sustainable development in the region and monitor possible future impacts.
The project brings together multidisciplinary research teams organised around seven themes:
- oceanography
- open water (pelagic) ecosystem and environmental drivers
- sea floor (benthic) biodiversity
- ecology of apex predators
- petroleum geology and geochemistry
- socio-economic analysis
- integration and modelling.
The research results will be made available for the benefit of stakeholders, such as Commonwealth and state regulators and governments and a diverse range of research, community and environmental groups.
The Great Australian Bight Research Program is a collaboration between BP, CSIRO, the South Australian Research and Development Institute (SARDI), the University of Adelaide, and Flinders University
Check out this video of our researchers collecting samples in the Great Australian Bight.

We partner with small and large companies, government and industry in Australia and around the world.

Vernon Coaker MP, Labour's Shadow Defence Secretary, responding to news that the Government is to commit to the F-35 project by ordering 14 aircraft, said:
"Labour welcomes this long overdue announcement. But it's hard to have any confidence in a Government that has wasted so much time and such a lot of money even to get to this point.
"David Cameron's decisions have cost several years of delay and hundreds of millions of wasted taxpayer pounds. In 2010, against all advice, he changed the initial order of the previous Labour government for these aircraft from F-35B to F-35C, only to change his mind back again two years later.
"There will be questions now about when these aircraft will become operational, and about how many will then be operational at any one time. The Defence Secretary needs to assure the British public that they are sufficient for the capabilities that the UK requires, and that they are on budget and on time."

A Letter to a Newly Diagnosed Cancer Patient — For What It's Worth
A friend of mine just got hit with "The Ominous Diagnosis". And I couldn't resist giving some extra advice (I know, shocking, right?)
The following is an expanded version of the personal advice I gave him, based on what I learned from my own bout of breast cancer.
Take from it what you will. It may not sound exactly like the advice you've heard from others.

SC Entertainment has sued writer-director Allan Moyle, claiming he breached an agreement to write and produce his next two films for SC.
In a complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, SC claims Moyle last May agreed to make the films "Respect" and "Headhunter" as his next two projects. Moyle previously wrote and directed "Pump Up The Volume" for SC. Last July, however, his lawyer allegedly denied the existence of the agreement.

When Cole Davis founded Keystone RV in 1996 his vision was clear: Build a quality RV loaded with features priced thousands less than other RVs on the market. To accomplish his goal, Cole would recruit and build a strong team, focus on keeping overhead low, and empower the people closest to the customer to make decisions.
Within a few short months after opening the doors, Keystone produced its very first camper. Delivering big on quality, features and value, the public fell in love with it. A star was born! As the appetite for the camper increased, new Keystone models were added to satisfy growing customer demand. Along with this tremendous growth came the need for expanded production. To meet this need more manufacturing plants were built and staffed.
From new floor plan designs to patented inventions, Keystone leads the way in product innovation. One reason is our mission to stay close to the customer. When talking with campers or visiting dealerships, our sales, product development, and service teams, are always looking for ways to improve the camping experience. And we don't stop there.
Every member of the Keystone family is encouraged to contribute to making our campers absolutely the best possible. Through something we call Kamp Keystone, our employees camp free of charge at local campgrounds in the Keystone trailers we supply. Each year hundreds of our production workers, administrative staff and service team enjoy a day (or a week) at Kamp Keystone. Their evaluation of the experience and the feedback they provide results in continued product improvements. Ask us if we use our RVs...the answer is YES!

ACHIEVE's mission is to inspire learning and improve lives. ACHIEVE's mission is to provide exceptional training and resources to better lives. We believe that people should be able to like where they work. We envision a future where everyone has access to high quality leadership and workplace development resources. We aspire to be the most trusted, accessible, and widely known provider of these resources.
While what follows is not exhaustive nor in any particular order, these are the core assumptions and beliefs that guide our approach to the development of our materials:
With Regard to Leadership Development
We value collaborative leadership approaches as we believe that people and teams perform best when leaders work with them as opposed to over them. In our view, management and leadership are distinct yet related functions. We believe that leadership is about eliciting the best from people and involves providing example and vision. Management is about directing the business activities of an organization in accordance with its objectives. We believe that leadership and management skills are learned through hard work, practice and self-reflection.
With Regard to Conflict and Communication
We believe that conflict is natural and inevitable and that our responses and strategies for dealing with conflict matter. In our view, the successful resolution of conflict involves shifting away from a competitive, win/lose mindset to a cooperative, collaborative mindset. We believe that when people communicate and listen well, focusing on each other's interests and respecting differences, they can resolve conflict in healthy and productive ways.
With Regard to Workplace Performance
We believe that optimal workplace performance is dependent on people developing interpersonal skills as well as the traditionally-defined workplace skills. In our view, most people can learn to succeed in the workplace through training and development within a supportive, development-based work environment. Therefore, our workplace performance workshops are designed to address the work environment as well as the interpersonal skills necessary to thrive at work.
Best Practices and Promising Practices
We recognize that strategies for leadership, conflict resolution, and workplace performance are constantly evolving as collective learning and academic research both advance. Our training materials integrate the best current writing and research relevant to every topic with the collective wisdom of our experienced consultants and trainers. We also give special consideration to the specific needs of the communities in which we present. Our training materials need to be flexible and applicable to a wide range of potential clients and participants
Sensitivity to Cultures and Identities
We honor the diversity of identities, beliefs, values and practices of our constituents. Organizations and individuals are healthier and perform better when efforts are made to increase awareness and respect for the uniqueness of each person, including their ethnicity, nationality, spirituality, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability level, immigration status and socio-economic status.
Working with Indigenous Peoples
We recognize the privilege that comes with being invited into Indigenous communities to train and work alongside people from these cultural histories. We understand that with this privilege comes a responsibility to acknowledge cultural biases, as well as honour the impact of colonialism and inter-generational trauma. Fundamental to all our work with Indigenous peoples is building relationship and listening humbly with an open heart and mind.

State and the Advocate : Case Studies on Development Policy in Asia (Paperback) (Teresita Cruz-del
About this item
This book seeks to demonstrate the role of public policy in support of equitable and inclusive development. The achievement of this overarching goal rests on an assumption that development does not happen by chance or by accident, but, rather, through the deliberate application of analytical tools which public policy is able to provide. Set within an Asian context, the book emphasizes the role of public policy in reducing poverty, eliminating deprivation, promoting equity, and ensuring social justice.
The book likewise aims to provide an argument for the developmental role of the state – one which has been the subject of a long-standing debate among development scholars. In addition, the book accounts for the role of civil society organizations, particularly their involvement in multi-stakeholder participation. Through different case studies, this book explains the outcome of public policy decisions as combinations of efforts among government and civil society actors, to ensure the creation of the most optimal public good. Finally, the book takes a comparative perspective, i.e., there are cases that directly or indirectly implicate the regional character of public policies that result in the creation and distribution of regional public goods.

A sexual assault on a woman in her home on Gumwood Drive in Hampton early Friday might be related to an incident in June, police say.
In the latest incident, a 22-year-old woman was awakened shortly after 3 a.m. by an intruder, said Detective Lt. Eddie Watts. Police think the rapist entered the house by removing a glass window from the back door and unlocking it.
The victim described her assailant as a black man about 5 feet 8 inches tall, wearing a white T-shirt or undershirt and multi-colored shorts.
After the attack, the man fled out the front door.
