Whether you're looking for a villa or apartment in Ibiza Town, HomeAway has a wide choice and can make it easier to find the rental that meets your needs. Ibiza Town is a beautiful and atmospheric location, with a medieval citadel that is preserved like a big outdoor museum, but is also convenient to beaches, bars and restaurants. Apartments in Ibiza Town are either tastefully renovated historic buildings, or sleek and modern constructions, stylishly furnished. Whatever you need for a successful break, be it a pool, air-conditioning, or the practicality of internet access, you can specify it when you search our site for your ideal villa in Ibiza Town.
-Beaches. Close to Ibiza Town is Talamanca beach, which stretches for almost a kilometre and has a wooden boardwalk. Along the way there's a great selection of restaurants and bars, while the beach is furnished with sunbeds, parasols and all the facilities you could need. Even closer is Figueretas, a smaller beach lined with palm trees and boasting clear, sheltered waters.
-Local history. Ibiza Town is the island's capital, and the hilltop part is a historic citadel that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was designed to defend the city against pirate and Berber attacks, and in its present form is composed mostly of architecture from the late-1500s. The lovely gothic cathedral here is even older, dating from the 1300s.
-Natural scenery. Often overlooked, Ibiza's interior most definitely warrants a bicycle or car trip, as there are quaint old villages to see, nestled in landscapes of olive groves and vineyards. There are a number of companies around the island offering cycle hire as well as organising cycle tours of some of the most impressive locations both inland and on the coast.
-Food and drink. The Balearic Islands have a few local specialities, like the ensaimada, which is a kind of swirl pastry, and sobrassada, a soft cured sausage similar in flavour to chorizo. Ibiza also has a growing reputation for its wine, with an industry that dates back to Phoenician times, but has only recently been rediscovered – try reds like Garnacha and Monastre, or whites such as Malvasía.
-Nightlife. 15 kilometres from Ibiza Town is Sant Antoni, which would appeal to younger visitors and fun-loving types, and known for its array of bars and clubs. An essential part of the experience here is the Sunset Strip, where revellers go to watch the sun go down at bars like Cafe Savannah, Cafe Mambo and Cafe del Mar – it's a new Ibiza tradition.
As you'd expect from the location, Ibiza Town villas are in a Mediterranean climate zone. That means you can expect warm weather for about five months of the year, from May to October. In the middle of the summer season daily temperatures normally get up to the high 20s, and rainfall is rare until the end of the summer. Spring and autumn weather is usually moderate, with some warm days and occasional rainy ones. Winters are mild, with temperatures regularly hitting double figures during the day in January.
Ibiza Town lies no more than ten kilometres from the island's main airport (IBZ). For holidaymakers from the UK it's easily the most convenient way to get to Ibiza, and is served mostly by budget airlines offering flights in the spring and summer months. There's a bus service taking you from the airport to the heart of the town, as well as a public bus network linking Ibiza town with other locations on the island. Another way to reach Ibiza Town from the Spanish mainland would be to catch a ferry from Dénia, Barcelona or Valencia.
First time in Ibiza and looking for things to do? Don't miss landmarks such as Ibiza Castle and Baluard de Sant Pere, and unique cultural highlights such as Teatro Pereyra and Ibiza Museum of Contemporary Art. If some outdoor time is on the agenda, soak up some sun at Figueretas Beach, Talamanca Beach and Bossa Beach. Fun activities in the city include Port of Ibiza and Marina Botafoch. To discover the region's top popular attractions, head to Las Salinas Beach, Benirras Beach and Es Vedra Island during your stay. Other things to do while in town include a visit to Baluard de Sant Jaume, Ses Taules Gateway and Centro de Interpretación Madina Yasiba.

There has always been an air of convenience and startling "timing", as well as political expedience, around the Australian government's (and its agencies') interventions into the Muslim community. Nowhere moreso is this more apparent than the timing of arrests, which, despite having been planned for up to several years in some cases, are timed in a way as to coincide with political crises bogging down the government and its ministers.
This sort of timing was apparent in the Howard years and was mastered by Tony Abbott, whose dog-whistle rhetoric around the Muslim community reached a fever pitch with "national security" his convenient go-to issue everytime attention needed deflecting from his abjectly failed prime ministership.
Yesterday, as another such convenient arrest took place (despite, we are told, 18 months of monitoring of the said individual), well-known lawyer Adam Houda perhaps best summed up what was going through many heads in the Muslim community:
We refer in this regard to this old GIMC infographic, which just about captures the moment appropriately:

The episode opens up with Damon still trapped in his cell in the basement of Whitmore House, looking kind of pissed. He notices a bullet on the floor (that Aaron had dropped while loading the gun, before he shot Damon in the head), stretches as far as he can to reach it and uses it blow up the lock of his cell. Then some aggressive kicking pops it open. Good job MacGuyver!
Back at Casa de Salvatore, Katherine wakes up in bed alongside Stefan which makes her happy, until she notices that her hair is turning grey and falling out. She runs away without letting Stefan look at her and crosses paths with Damon. She tells him that she and Stefan were together all night...
Katherine: Our hot naked bodies collided in one unforgettable night of passionThere, it's official! The bad asses of this show (Damon and Katherine) get much better lines than the goody goodies (Stefan and Elena). Love it. Nothing is better than snark.
Damon: I'm gonna barf.
Katherine: Great. Then my work here is done.
Damon is looking for Elena, but can't find her anywhere. Of course, we know that she's with Dr. Wes Maxfield being experimented on. She wakes up in a lab somewhere with Dr. Wes referring her as subject 83182. Creeptastic.
Question: Why did Dr. Wes experiment on Jesse in the lab at Whitmore college, where anyone could have easily found him, but has this extra special secret lab for Elena? (Turns out this lab is the basement of her father's old clinic, which is now a condemned building in Mystic Falls.)
Damon tells Stefan that he can't find Elena and believes that Dr. Maxfield has her (he's right - also duh). He doesn't know where they are, so they need to use Aaron as leverage.
Damon: Pop Quiz! So your girlfriend is take by an evil scientist. Do you A) get a new girlfriend, B) call the police or C) kill someone close to that mad scientist?Dr. Wes is draining Elena's blood in one of his creepy experiments and chitchatting with Elena.
Dr. Wes: Did you know Aaron Whitmore spent his entire life thinking his family was haunted by some death curse? Turns out that curse was your boyfriend systematically killing every member on his family tree. I'm curious. How does one justify that in your mind?Oh Science! So that makes it okay! He reads to her from a journal of experiment notes and tells her that they are the "handwritten medical findings of Dr. Grayson Gilbert" -- her father! Dr. Wes learned everything he knows from him.
Elena: And this? Holding people against their will. Torturing them. How do you justify that?
Dr. Wes: Science.
Stefan and Damon ask Aaron where Elena is, but he doesn't know.
Damon: Well, you're gonna call Wes and tell him that if he doesn't give us Elena, the next experiment that he conducts is gonna be sewing your arms back on.Aaron calls Dr. Wes and asks for Elena back or that the Salvatores will kill him.
Dr. Wes: Damon Salvatore is locked in an impenetrable and inescapable fortified cell.Really, how "impenetrable, inescapable and fortified" was that cell if Damon was able to escape so easily? Dr. Wes agrees to meet them in his classroom and when he knows that Aaron is safe, he'll give up Elena. But of course he's lying. He goes back to the lab and unstraps Enzo. He gives him an injection (an "insurance policy that guarantees you'll come back to me) and then gives him the "day off", so he and Damon can catch up.
Aaron: Or he's in front of me, imagining what my kidney would taste like.
Somewhere in the woods, Matt is helping Katherine work out. She is out of shape, losing her hearing and eyesight. She's dying wants to prolong this death thing and stay hot as long as possible. Unfortunately, she can't become a vampire again because her body rejects vampire blood (a consequence of taking the cure). The Nadia arrives, pissed off that Katherine attempted suicide without saying goodbye. Katherine asks Nadia if she thinks after all the horrible things she's done, it would be possible to be forgiven. Nadia assumes she means her own forgiveness (but we can assume she was talking about Stefan). Nadia has an idea to keep Katherine alive a little longer...of course we won't find out what it is just yet because we have to check on the status of all the other characters.
Dr. Wes reveals that Elena's dad was working with the Augustines to turn vampire blood into a magical cure-all. He also tells her that Enzo is on a day trip to take care of some unresolved business with Damon. Elena realizes that Enzo was the Augustine vampire who killed her roommate Megan. Dr. Wes reveals that the reason Megan had a photo of herself with Elena's dad because her parents funded his projects. They didn't know the details, but knew he had an unregulated compound that could cure most injuries (vampire blood). She got suspicious though... that's why she went to Whitmore College, sought out Dr. Gilbert's daughter, and went to the party at Whitmore House. She found Enzo in his cell and got too close and he killed her.
Damon reveals to Stefan that he was an Augustine test subject in the '50s and Aaron is the descendent of "vampire-probing, blood-testing organ-removing freaks". When Damon, Stefan and Aaron arrive at Dr. Wes's classroom, Dr. Wes isn't there.. but Enzo is waiting for them. He's pretty pissed that Damon left him to die in that fire. Stefan calls Dr. Wes, pissed off that he sent Enzo instead of holding up his end of the agreement.
Stefan: We have Aaron and we're trying to decide how to kill him.Enzo tells everyone the story of their New Year's Eve plan, including how Damon left him there to die in a fire.
Dr. Wes: Funny. I have Elena and I'm wondering how she'll survive without her cerebral cortex. Touch him and you'll never see her again.
Stefan: That threat works both ways.
Question: Why did Damon leave him there to die? As in, why couldn't he get the cage open? He should've taken the fucking key from the doctor who let him out! The guy was lying there dead on the floor... was it too hard to check his pockets before he turned off his emotions and walked away? Just saying, that's kind of a plot hole.
Stefan: You didn't tell me about him.Aaron offers to give them the files on his family history that Dr .Wes had given him, in exchange to not killing him. Enzo says Damon isn't going anywhere... so Stefan takes Aaron to his dormroom to get the files.
Damon: It was the 1950s. I'm supposed to remember every moment of my life? Do you want to kill Aaron or should I?
Stefan: This guy was your cellmate for 5 years. You left him to die, he comes back and you're completely unfazed?
Damon: Fine, I will.
Damon: Call me if you find anything. Kill him if you don't.Back at Casa de Salvatore, Nadia's idea to prolong Katherine's life is spirit-possession (the same way that Gregor had taken possesion fo Matt's body, even after he died). Since Katherine's father was a Traveler, then she technically is and just needs to learn the passenger spell. Katherine's father never allowed her to do Traveler magic, but it's in her blood so she could keep living in someone else's body, even after her body dies. Katherine doesn't want to because Stefan likes the body she already has. She admits that they may have "rekindled" something and Nadia realizes that it was Stefan that Katherine was talking about when she mentioned forigveness, not her. If she has to die, knowing that Stefan still cares wouldn't be such a bad way to die.
Katherine: Look, maybe I don't want to die a sad, lonely 538-year-old.Enzo tells Damon that he has been injected with a poison that will cause him to desicate if he doesn't get back to the lab at some point for the antidote. He won't get the antidote until Damon is dead.
Question: If Enzo had a "deadline" (before the poison caused him to desicate) to kill Damon, why the fuck did he waste all that itme with the long story and chit chatting...?
Damon wants to go back together, get Enzo the antidote, kill Dr. Wes, finish this together. Enzo throws Damon out a window. They fight, but Enzo keeps growing weaker thanks to the poison. Damon doesn't want to fight him. He only defends himself enough to stay alive... Enzo starts to dessicate so Damon demands to know where Elena is, but Enzo falls unconscious in his arms.
Over in Aaron's dormroom, he secretly grabs a gun to try to defend himself from Stefan, but you know, Stefan is a vampire so he doesn't fall for that shit.
Stefan: If you want me to kill you, I will kill you. Do not test me.He tells Stefan about Damon's Whitmore family tree serial killing spree... He asks Stefan to kill him so he won't give Damon the satisfaction. Stefan spares him, and tells him that not all of them are like Damon. Aaron gives him the Augustine files and mentions that he saw Elena's last name on a few pages, so maybe it will help.
Aaron: Dude, I'm dead already. Damon's been planning my death since before I was born.
Back in her father's lab, Elena has a flashback to a time as a little girl when she wandered downstars of her father's clinic and heard screaming coming from a locked door. Her dad told her the basement is a "kids free zone" and tells her it's okay because he's going to save a little girl's life, who is almost the same age as her. Dr. Wes's research is a little more sinister. He's developing a compound that will casue Elena to salivate at the smell of vampire blood, like he had done to Jesse. Jesse couldn't stop feeding and tried to kill Damon, which is the point. It's his goal to make vampires crave their own kind. Elena is the next patient and he's going to inject her with this compound that will make her crave vampire blood, but she is scared this will turn her into a ripper. She begs him not to but he stabs the syringe into her chest anyway.
Before he can push the plunger though, Stefan arrives. His yell of "Elena?" distracts Dr. Wes long enough for Elena to headbutt him and knock him out. Stefan saves her and leaves Dr. Wes unconsicous on the floor. She grabs her father's journal before she leaves.
Back at the Mystic Grille, Nadia visits Matt and asks him to hold onto the traveler's knife (the one that killed Gregor from within Matt). She's leaving town and needs to know that it's safe. If Katherine decides to live a little longer, she will need that knife to save her life. Nadia tells Matt that she searched for Katherine for 500 years, only to lose her again. She doesn't know if she should hate her for giving up or be at her side when she dies. Matt commiserates with her, because he had a crappy mom too. He also understands that there's always that bit of hope that the crappy parent will come through for them. So Matt tells Nadia that if Katherine changes her mind, he will have the knife for her.
Enzo wakes up back in the lab with Damon. He injected him the contents of a bunch vials that said "antidote" and one of them worked. Elena is safe and Damon doesn't want Enzo to desicate in vain. He tells him he didn't feel guilty about leaving Enzo, because in order to leave him he had to shut off his humanity and felt nothing. No remorse, no regret, no pain... but now they're even.
Enzo: Even if I forgave you Damon, would that make you less of a horrible person? You were the most important person in my life and you ruined me. That's just who you are and will alwasy be... a monster.Yikes. Unfortunately, Damon may have taken Enzo's words to heart... Back at Casa de Salvatore, Elena sits by the fire reading her father's journal. She realizes that the little girl who her father had saved (the one she remembered in her flashback), was Elena's roommate Megan. He saved her using vampire blood and that's why Megan had a photo of him in her phone. (Sorry to those of you who were hoping Megan was his secret love child.) The following converation made me yell "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO" at my screen, so I'm going to just give it to you all verbatim.
Damon: 100 pages of horrific torture and you find the one happy passage.And he walks out. Elena starts to cry. And then we ALL start to cry! Noooooo! Damon come baaaaaack!
Elena: My father used his research to save people Damon. Children... families...
Damon: Yeah, and dissected vampires along the way. Newsflash Elena, you are a vampire. Do you honestly think that he would sit here and see you as anything more?
Elena: I don't know, he was my dad, I can't not defend him.
Damon: Oh I know you can't. You do it for me all the time.
Elena: I'm not defending you. I'm not defending your decision to kill Aaron's entire family... to go out of town and kill his aunt, while we were still together.
Damon: So why are you still here? I'm bad Elena. I'm bad for you. So why wouldn't you have run away from me as far as humanly possible?
Elena: Because I love you Damon. Because I chose you and because I stand by my choice.
Damon: Well now I'm choosing. And I'm choosing to let you go.
Elena: What? No, Damon.
Damon: I'm choosing to not have to think about how you must feel every time some ghost from my past comes into our lives. I'm choosing to relieve you of having to defend me for every awful thing I've ever done.
Elena: Stop acting like I'm perfect. Damon, I've done horrible things too. You think I'm gonna stand here and judge you after I find out that you've been tortured for 5 years...
Damon: Stop defending me! I won't change who I am. I can't. But I refuse to change you.
How's the other Petrova doppelganger doing? She's also about to get her heart broken and start to cry... She wants to talk to Stefan about last night. He tells her that they got swept up in the moment, but he can't just forget everything she put him through for the last 147 years. She reveals her gray hair. She's dying and she wants redemption. But 147 years is a long time to forgive in one night.
Katherine: One night... an eternity... you'd never look at me the way you look at Elena, would you?Aaron goes to the Dr. Wes's lab and finds Wes knocked out on the floor. Aaron is very upset at Dr. Wes.
Question: How did he know where to find him? Stefan found Elena, presumably, through the notes Aaron gave him... but if Aaron knew where the secret lab was, why didn't he just tell Stefan about it, instead of making him waste the time reading the files?
Aaron: Do you really think that you're helping people with this vampire crap? You sold me out! You used my life as a bargaining chip.He picks up the syringe from the floor and leaves (huh?) telling Dr. Wes that he never wants to see him again and to get the hell out of his life.
Back at Casa de Salvatore, Elena throws her father's medical journal into the fire and Katherine calls Nadia, telling her that she wants to stay alive. She needs Nadia to find her a Traveler to teach her the spell.
Question: Why doesn't Nadia know the spell? She and Gregor did it for Matt... she can't teach Katherine? Katherine drops the phone mid-call and starts to have a heart attack. She falls down teh stairs (or a really obvious stunt double with a bad wig falls down the stairs) and lays there dying....
Way to leave it on a major cliffhanger TVD because we won't see new episodes until January 23!

My name is Aswani. I am an internet addict from India with a passion for blogging and making friends online. These two activities satisfy me the most. Blogging is something which I never took as it is known today to most of us. I remember when I was in school, I was bitten by this writing worm. Yes, it began all of a sudden and soon became a passion for me. Though I was never best with it, I still managed to do well in this area. It was in the year 2007 when one of my mates suggested me to start a blog. I was clueless in the beginning but not for long. Yes, I had found it finally and initially it was fueled up with a desire to make money online and honestly, blogging is all about the same. I have been blogging for the last 4 years. But I am not a full-time blogger nor a purely professional blogger. Still then I am here to share my experiences with those interested in learning more and more. Hopefully...you will like it. Thank you so much for your visits and kind support !!

Legal Status
Document Details
Published Document
Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Act"),[1] and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,[2] notice is hereby given that on January 8, 2002, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Inc. ("Phlx" or "Exchange") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Exchange filed this proposal under section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act,[3] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) [4] thereunder, which renders the proposal effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change
The Exchange proposes to extend through April 15, 2002 its PACE (Philadelphia Stock Exchange Automated Communication and Execution System) [5] price improvement program ("pilot"). The pilot, which is found in Supplementary Material .07(c)(i) to Phlx Rule 229, consists of an automated price improvement feature based on decimal quoting, including a percentage of the spread between the bid and the offer. The pilot has been in effect since January 30, 2001.[6] The only substantive change proposed in this filing is to extend the date of effectiveness of the pilot through April 15, 2002. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the Phlx and at the Commission.
II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.
A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
The Exchange proposes to extend the pilot through April 15, 2002. No other substantive changes are proposed at this time.
2. Statutory Basis
The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6 of the Act [7] in general, and in particular, with Section 6(b)(5),[8] in that it is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, protect investors and the public interest.
B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any inappropriate burden on competition.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others
Written comments were neither solicited nor received.
III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action
Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not:
(i) significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest;
(ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and
(iii) become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act [9] and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.[10] At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
The Exchange has requested that the Commission waive the 5-day pre-filing notice requirement, and accelerate the operative date. The Commission finds good cause to waive the pre-filing notice requirement, and to designate the proposal to be both effective and operative upon filing because such designation is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. Waiver of these requirements will allow the pilot to continue uninterrupted through April 15, 2002. For these reasons, the Commission finds good cause to designate that the Start Printed Page 3254proposal is both effective and operative upon filing with the Commission.[11]
IV. Solicitation of Comments

HARTFORD – Police Sunday night were investigating the untimely death of a woman at the Ridgefield Street home of Walter "Doc" Hurley, whose charitable foundation helped generations of Hartford's youths. Hurley died Feb. 9 at the age of 91.
Sources told The Courant that the woman's body was discovered Sunday evening. Hurley's daughter Muriel, who had been implicated recently in the financial collapse of the foundation, had been living at the home, the sources said.

The INS Group does not take a "cookie cutter" approach to grant writing. Each grant application is individually tailored to meet our client's needs. The INS Group accomplishes this by:
- developing a core proposal – summary statement, introduction, statement of problem or need, goals and objectives, methodology, evaluation, budget and future funding
- writing ongoing proposal submissions
- critiquing and editing proposals written by staff
- determining the appropriate requests and best strategies for approaching private and corporate foundations
In preparation for the construction of a successful grant proposal, we provide comprehensive grant research by:
- identifying corporate and private foundations that match with the nonprofit's programs and the grantor's funding priorities
- providing names of the sources, contact information, required format/procedure, application, proposal, suggested request amount, due date
- creating a work plan and timetable for submission of grant proposals

Hi Bob,
yes it can be frustrating not getting comments on a blog. I've been running a blog for many years now and don't get a lot of comments even when I specifically ask for them. I do however get comments on the blog posts via twitter.
In your case I would say you need to add value to the links you post. Make comments about the items or ask questions. "Do you think this would be good for ....." etc.
Hope you get a few more comments.

I know it's alot of work fishing through all of the stores on Etsy, I appreciate the kind of time it has taken you to post the lovely things that you have.
Please don't give up. Here's hoping that the link in the forums will get you lots of traffic. I'm hooked.

Iowa-based truckload carrier Heartland Express has reported record operating revenue for the first quarter of the year, but its profit fell 28.4% from the same time a year ago.
Operating revenue was $224.5 million, an increase of 67.2%, primarily due to the November 2013 acquisition of Gordon Trucking.
For the quarter net income was $14.1 million, compared to $19.7 million a year earlier, resulting in earnings per share of 16 cents versus 23 cents during the same time.
"Fleet utilization and operating results for the quarter were negatively impacted by severe winter weather across the eastern half of the U.S.," the company said in a statement. "The company continues to be challenged by the impact of government hours-of-service regulations including the 34- hour restart and a thirty-minute break within the first eight hours of driving that were effective July 1, 2013."
Heartland says the average age of its tractor fleet has increased from 2.1 years to 2.6 years quarter-to-quarter, but it took delivery of 151 new trucks during the first quarter, while approximately 1,000 new trucks are scheduled to be delivered throughout 2014.
The average age of the company's trailer fleet was 4.8 years at the end of March 2014 compared to 3.1 years a year ago. It says the increase in the average age was primarily due to the age of the Gordon Trucking fleet upon acquisition. Heartland is continuing its process of updating the Gordon Trucking trailer fleet, getting rid of model years 2007 and prior, and began taking delivery of 1,000 new Wabash dry van trailers during March 2014.

You Can't Detect What You Can't See: Illuminating the Entire Kill Chain
On-Demand Webinar
IBM has unveiled eDiscovery Manager, a software product that lets enterprises manage electronically stored information so that they can retrieve it easily when a legal challenge requires e-discovery. The term e-discovery stands for 'electronic discovery' and refers to discovery in civil litigation dealing with information in electronic form.
Enterprises are being forced to adopt e-discovery solutions because of amendments in December to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) (define) that require companies to preserve and produce electronically stored information when facing litigation. FRCP is the U.S. federal district court procedures for civil suits.
Part of the vendor's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) (define) suite of products, eDiscovery Manager integrates with IBM's auto-classification and records management technology, and the vendor's content-centric business process management (BPM) (define) capabilities.
The eDiscovery Manager uses IBM's e-mail archiving solutions, leverages the vendor's ECM repositories, and supports an easy-to-use interface. It "controls information at its source when it is created," Aaron Brown, program director of IBM Content Discovery told InternetNews.com. The eDiscovery Manager works with IBM's Classification Module, and content management repository for this.
"We let you handle capture, retention, archiving and content management to manage your content proactively because the information has already been retained, classified and managed," Brown said. Many other e-discovery vendors offer point solutions or outsourced third-party solutions that companies put in place when litigation comes in, according to Brown.
While these point and third-party outsourced approaches do work, "they are expensive, because organizations often have to expand them to deal with other cases, and typically these solutions don't address the bigger problem of information retention," Brown said. "We want e-discovery to be part of the basic daily process rather than having you run around putting out fires."
IBM (NYSE: IBM) is one of the few vendors that can offer an enterprise-class solution for eDiscovery, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told InternetNews.com "Nobody has the breadth anymore to cover all databases, all repositories; it requires a very large set of capabilities and IBM Global Services and EDS are among the few entities that folks love to help solve that kind of complex problem."
EDS is now a part of Hewlett-Packard (NYSE: HPQ), which bought in May for $13.9 billion.

Beowulf Meets Crazy Horse
Lesson 3 of 12
Objective: Students will be able to evaluate heroic qualities on display in the epic poem Beowulf as well as Native American stories; comparing and contrasting heroes as they work to identify universal traits. They will apply a variety of strategies toward interpretation and analysis
Big Idea: What constitutes literature? Why are some stories written down? Why do cultures create epics?
This lesson can be used independently or as part of a larger unit on Beowulf. The main goals/objectives in this lesson focus on cultural, heroic ideals and how culture shapes these ideals.
For this section of the lesson I had started talking to students about what made someone a hero in the 21st century. Students had no trouble coming up with ideas like "willing to risk life" "willing to stand up for beliefs" "strong" "smart" "brave", etc. I usually fill half of my white board with these words and descriptions.
After we've charted a list of heroic qualities, I direct students to re-read the first 50 lines of Beowulf. This is often called the prologue, because it describes the past; the founding of the Spear-Danes tribe. Then we skip ahead to lines 195-228 which describe Beowulf when he first hears about Grendel's destruction of Heorot.
After we read those lines,I had the students write down words, in a different color, that they thought identified Beowulf's heroic qualities and we put them on the board next to the list of 21st century words. There are fewer words, but the board is pretty much full now.
Then I had two students go up to the board and circle the words that were similar.
We then discuss why there were so few words that were similar, but why the words that were similar were so important (part of it had to do with some of their earlier choices like "good-looking" "rich").
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
Crazy Horse: A Sioux Hero
Students have now read lines 1-228 of Beowulf from a PDF I posted on-line and new books are on their way. I also assign them a section from Indians of North America by Charles Eastman (Ohiyesa) called "Crazy Horse/Tashunkewitko" this reading is about seven pages long and should be read out of class with instructions for students to underline the descriptions of Crazy Horse that seem heroic.
If students haven't read the Crazy Horse stories when they come to class pair them with students who have, making sure that each person in a group has read either the sections of Beowulf or the sections from Crazy Horse.
I assigned too large a reading so only a few students read both, although most had read Beowulf and a few only the Crazy Horse reading. So I put the students into groups of five and had them compare and contrast Crazy Horse and Beowulf. I ask them to look at the different actions each hero performs, and the way those actions are described by the author. I instruct them to make a list of the various adjectives and verbs used to depicted each hero and then to write a brief summary comparing and contrasting the two men. I point out that while Crazy Horse is an historical figure, the representation of him here is specifically that of a hero. So while the actions of Crazy Horse are real, the author has embellished them or focused on them to specifically tell his audience something about the leader. Similarly, Beowulf is a completely fictitious character who is created specifically to teach an audience of Vikings and Anglo-Saxons how to live. While each of these texts are different, the purposes are similar.
Then I have the students come back together and we compare all three cultures, 21st Century American, Turn-of-the-Century Siouxan, and Beowulf. Students then have an better understanding of the range of cultural traits.
Reading Assignment
For reading that night, I assign lines 371-500, which describes Beowulf's first audience with Hrothgar.

We have information you must know before you buy the Yukon XL 1500.
We want to send it to you, along with other pricing insights.
We will not spam you, and will never sell your email. You may unsubscribe at any time.
If it's large, American luxury that you want, you would be wise to look at this year's Yukon XL 1500 from GMC. With an overall length of 222.4 inches and a wheelbase that stretches a mighty 130 inches, it's the largest SUV available from the storied General Motors brand. Even at first glance, it's easy to see that the Yukon shares underpinnings and most of its looks with the Chevrolet Suburban. But, while a base Suburban can feel sort of utilitarian, the Yukon feels decidedly more, well, plush.
The 2013 Yukon sports an updated chrome grill and sharper headlight design. Inside, it sets aside some of the Suburban's faux-woodgrain dash trim for brighter polished aluminum. There's seating for as many as nine people, and available video screens for all rows. A premium nine-speaker Bose sound system comes as standard, as well as tri-zone automatic climate control.
A 320-horsepower 5.3-liter Vortec engine powers the Yukon XL 1500. With ratings of 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, it's a thirsty SUV -- but still beats the Ford Expedition by one mile per gallon. Opt for the 6-liter V8 in the 2500, or the Denali and its 6.2-liter V8, however, and fuel economy ratings dip under the Expedition's.
All Yukon engines offer GM's VVT system, which enables them to run on only four cylinders when full power isn't needed. Also available is an engine-brake feature for towing to avoid excessive brake degradation on downhill grades.
The 1500 and 2500 can both be had with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive; the Denali even has an available all-wheel drive system, which is handy if you live in an area prone to foul weather.
Starting at $58,775, the Denali is the most expensive Yukon trim level available. Its 6.2-liter Vortec V8 produces 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque -- a big step up from other trims. The multilink rear-suspension is also a major upgrade from the leaf springs in lesser Yukons.
The Denali also has an available full-time all-wheel drive system for those who may live in areas that are prone to poor weather. Four-wheel disc antilock brakes come as standard, as do some great interior features like heated leather seating and steering wheel, and a fantastic 9-speaker Bose sound system. The Denali is loaded with luxury and plenty of entertainment for everyone.
Starting at $44,655, the SLE is the most affordable trim level available. While it may be missing some premium features -- standard leather seating, for instance -- the SLE is still a capable and comfortable SUV. Standard equipment includes a Bose sound system and power front seats; a Bluetooth phone system; and a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 that produces 320 horsepower and 335 pound-feet of torque. The SLE is more than able to pull anything from the family boat to the bike trailer.
If you're looking for more interior features and a lot more chrome, the SLT may be the right trim for you. Standard equipment includes: heated leather seats and steering wheel; a satellite navigation system; remote start; and power-adjustable pedals. Options include a power-assist rear liftgate and rear captain's seats.
The standard engine offers you more power at a lower price
The King Ranch edition gives you Denali-like features for a lower price, but not nearly as powerful
Best in-class standard towing capability at 7,400 pounds
Interior feels a bit cheap, but the exterior is sharp-looking

The note explains that for most of the Additional Claims Allowance claims that Sir Thomas considered, he adopted a narrow and methodical approach, much like that of an accountant auditing a company's books.
Mostly, that meant ensuring that the paperwork submitted to the Commons authorities fully substantiated the claims made. Where paperwork appeared inadequate, Sir Thomas wrote to MPs requesting more information.
Many such requests concerned mortgage interest payments: several MPs told The Daily Telegraph that they had been asked to provide copies of monthly mortgage statements, in some cases because the Commons Fees Office did not have copies of the documents.
Sir Thomas also explained that in several aspects of the ACA, there were "gaps and tensions between the elements of the rules governing the allowance" which were not properly explained.
That being the case, he decided to effectively impose his own limits on those elements of the ACA where there was not full clarity on what was acceptable and what was not.
Cleaning and gardening expenses were two items given this treatment, along with multiple household purchases and "conflicted" property transactions involving an MP's relative or associate.
In deciding the retrospective standards to apply, Sir Thomas concluded that MPs were under "a general requirement of propriety" arising from Commons rules and the general public expectation that public money be used properly.
Cleaning claims above £2,000 a year and gardening claims above £1,000 fall short of that requirement, Sir Thomas said. So do unjustified multiple household purchases and "tainted" transactions involving relatives.
Most significantly, Sir Thomas warned MPs that simply because a claim had been previously been endorsed by the fees office, that did not mean it would be approved by his review.
He wrote: "The validity or otherwise of ACA payments under the rules was not affected by the views, words and actions of the fees office at the time."

Both my neighbor and myself have a CLORMATIC 3 generator for our 10K pool. In 5 years we have had excellent results and have only had to shock about 5 times. Nitrates from airborne and local fertilizers have zap'ed us several times.
A beautiful system.
Question: The neighbor is going overseas for several months, and he has some one to baby sit the pool. It's his intention to set the cantrol for 100% production.
Will continuous production for this period of time reduce the life of the cell?

Though it was the Paris Review that published Stephen Dixon's first short story, "The Chess House," all the way back in 1963, the relationship between the author and the Review's editor, George Plimpton, was always fraught. By then, Dixon, born in 1936, had already been a news reporter (he was the first to interview Khrushchev on American soil), an art school model, a bus driver, a bartender, and a schoolteacher. Mostly what he was was poor. Sometime after "The Chess House," Plimpton stopped returning his messages. So Dixon got desperate and pretended to be the actor Howard Duff—a man famous at the time for playing Sam Spade on the radio. The author received a bewildered call back and then, the next day, a letter from Plimpton. It read: "Not only are you not a novelist, but you're probably not a short-story writer either."
Five hundred and some short stories later, Dixon is among the most prolific writers of fiction still living. Though the author's first book wasn't published until he was forty, Dixon now has more than thirty novels and story collections to his credit. In just this past decade, Dixon has published—among other things—Phone Rings (2005), a novel that consists almost entirely of two men talking to each other over the telephone; I (2002) and The End of I (2006), a claustrophobic diptych chronicling the creative frustrations of an author who often seems suspiciously similar to his progenitor; and Meyer (2007), a book about writer's block, something we can be entirely sure Dixon doesn't have. His productivity is such that when he and Fantagraphics began to

A native of Wales, Jones, whose age is early 40s, was a teacher at the Glasgow School from 1969 to 1971. He then became an instructor and the chairman of the art department at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Tex. He returned to Glasgow to assume the directorship of the school in 1980. He has been a visiting professor at the University of Wales and has organized the definitive exhibition and catalogue on Welsh ecclesiastical architecture. He also has remained a practicing artist, currently as a painter but with a strong background in sculpture.

Video: Below Grand Central, Digging for the Future
When he shows visitors to the excavated site of the future $8.2 billion train terminal deep below Grand Central Terminal, Michael Horodniceanu likes to begin in the landmarked station itself.
Grand Central, which marks its 100-year anniversary on Friday, was functioning at its usual mid-afternoon pace on a recent weekday afternoon at the start of the tour. Passengers scurried toward trains on the lower level as others queued up at sandwich stalls or paused to read a paper.
Horodniceanu, the president of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's capital construction division, was focused on a very different hive activity occurring 160 feet below the station's dining concourse, where contractors were hard at work on the what the MTA calls the largest — and least visible — transportation construction project in the county, known as East Side Access.

text: WITTMANN, Ariz. -- Maricopa County sheriff's deputies raided a Wittmann motocross track and found two dozen underage drinkers.Maricopa County officials said they received citizen complaints about underage drinking and activities where boys as young as 12 years old were watching half-naked women in wet shirt contests at Speedworld.On Saturday night, about 30 deputies went undercover at the popular race track.The operation resulted in 25 criminal underage drinking citations, six arrests on criminal warrants, five DUI arrests, two drug arrests and 15 civil traffic violations."Underage drinking is a serious problem and somebody out there is obviously selling alcohol to these kids," Arpaio said. "We're going to find out."Statement from Mike Saucier, a spokesman for Speedworld:"We would like to get to the bottom of this as much as anybody. We do not sell alcohol on the premises nor do we possess a permit to do so. We don't think this is a widespread or consistent issue but anytime there are arrests for something of this nature, it obviously gets our attention. Although we already have robust security on the grounds, out of an abundance of caution we are re-evaluating our security presence and will take the appropriate next steps. We want to ensure that fans come to Speedworld and enjoy motor sports in a safe and legal manner."

Author(s): Madeleine St John; Helen Trinca (Introduction by)
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, this brilliant novel from Madeleine St John, author of The Women in Black, is a comic and tender look at the vicissitudes of love and relationships.
Nicola should never have stepped out to buy that pack of cigarettes, because the man she discovers in her living room when she returns is not the adorable, straightforward, devoted Jonathan with whom she has been sharing her life.
That Jonathan would never have unilaterally decided that she should, as he abruptly put it, 'move out'. A shocked Nicola packs her bags and sets out bravely on the bumpy course that will take her from the end of an affair to the essence of the thing.
This edition of The Essence of the Thingcomes with an introduction by Helen Trinca, Madeleine St John's biographer.
Madeleine St Johnwas born in Sydney. She graduated from Sydney University in 1963 and lived in London for most of the succeeding years, until her death in 2006. The Women in Blackis her first novel. She also wrote A Pure Clear Light, 1996, The Essence of the Thing, 1997, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize, and Stairway to Paradise, 1999.
'Brisk, sophisticated and artful.' New York Times Book Review
'St John's intelligence transforms a simple story into a much larger commentary on love and loss.' Mademoiselle
'Using spare prose, sparkling dialogue and painfully true observations on family life, St John creates a winning combination of humour and pathos.' Publishers Weekly
* Extract from Helen Trinca's introduction to be placed in a major Australian newspaper * Helen Trinca to speak about Madeleine St John at select events in NSW and Queensland * Significant budget for print advertising including literary magazines and bookseller catalogues * Banner advertising on bookseller websites * Online promotions, including advertising and giveaways, on Facebook and Twitter * Promotions and giveaways with targeted subscriber groups * Featured in Text newsletters and website

'Brisk, sophisticated and artful.' --New York Times Book Review
'St John's intelligence transforms a simple story into a much larger commentary on love and loss.' --Mademoiselle
'Using spare prose, sparkling dialogue and painfully true observations on family life, St John creates a winning combination of humour and pathos.' --Publishers Weekly
Madeleine St John was born in Sydney in 1941. Her father, Edward, was a barrister and Liberal politician. Her mother, Sylvette, committed suicide in 1954, when Madeleine was twelve. Sylvette's death, Madeleine later said, 'obviously changed everything'. St John studied Arts at Sydney University, where her contemporaries included Bruce Beresford, Germaine Greer, Clive James and Robert Hughes. In 1965 she married Chris Tillam, a fellow student, and they moved to the United States where they first attended Stanford and later Cambridge. From Cambridge, St John relocated to London in 1968. The couple did not reunite and the marriage ended. St John settled in Notting Hill. She worked at a series of odd jobs, and then, in 1993, published her first novel, The Women in Black, the only book she set in Australia. When her third novel, The Essence of the Thing (1997), was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, she became the first Australian woman to receive this honour. St John died in 2006.

LONDON, Sept 14 (IFR) - LCH has opened its repo clearing platform to buyside firms through a new sponsored access model that aims to eliminate recent dislocations in the mechanism by which collateral is moved around the system.
Acting for a UK pension fund, Insight Investment has become the first asset manager to clear a repo trade on LCH's RepoClear platform. NatWest Markets acted as the sponsor, providing default fund contributions and facilitating margin payments for its client.
Repo markets have come under stress in response to post-crisis reforms that mean the full notional amount of a repo transaction is included on the balance sheet of a broker. By bringing buyside repo trades into a central counterparty clearinghouse, dealers will benefit from a reduction in the heavy capital exposure associated with the trades.
"Broadening the number of clearing members in this way maintains the robustness of CCP risk management, creates the opportunity for greater balance sheet netting, benefits leverage ratio, and increases overall repo market capacity," said Brian Shanahan, head of clearing and margin strategy at NatWest Markets, which has worked closely with LCH to provide long-term repo clearing for customers.
The sponsored model enables buyside firms to access the clearinghouse directly, with clearing agents providing financial guarantees and services for their buyside clients. The model has emerged as a preferred solution for concerns around increased credit risk that could be created in the clearinghouse through inclusion of non-bank members.
Mark Stancombe, head of corporate and product strategy at Insight Investment, said the new service is ground-breaking for the asset management community, enabling clients to benefit from efficient implementation of their investment strategies.
"It deepens and diversifies repo liquidity and will benefit our pension fund clients by providing efficiencies for them in comparison to non-cleared repo," he said in a statement.
LCH's sponsorship model is initially available for the 11 government debt markets cleared by London-based LCH, with plans to expand the capabilities to its Paris arm, LCH SA, subject to regulatory approval.
According to Bruce Kellaway, global head of RepoClear, EquityClear and Collateral at LCH, the expansion of repo clearing services is an important step for fixed income markets and buyside firms in particular, "enabling firms to reduce their risk and maximise balance sheet efficiencies".
LCH is not alone in its efforts to bring buyside firms into the cleared environment. DTCC saw the first buyside trade on its tri-party repo platform earlier this year, between Citadel and Morgan Stanley. While DTCC's direct-member service enables buyside firm to clear trades where they act as cash lenders, the US firm also received SEC approval for an expansion of its sponsored member programme.
Eurex Clearing launched its own sponsored access programme, ISA Direct, last year. The service allows buyside firms to clear repo trades with clearing agents covering default fund contributions, default management and some financing functions. (Reporting by Helen Bartholomew)

Wheeee! It's the holidays, and I'm thrilled to share a gift with my wonderful, supportive readers…and it's something you can in turn share with family and friends. What is it? Well, after being asked over and over to recommend restaurants to family, friends, friends of friends, and colleagues visiting New York City, I decided to put together a handy page of NYC restaurants right here on AndreaReiser.com!
Check it out: you'll find almost 70 restaurants (and ever growing) on the page, and you have the ability to sort the list into a bunch of categories, including by cuisine and by neighborhood, as well as a number of other criteria like Special Occasion, Highly Recommended, Foodie Experience and even Not Recommended at this Time. I tried to think of lots of helpful categories, and if there's something you think is missing or could be better organized, please don't hesitate to let me know. Some listings include my dining reviews, and all link to the restaurants' websites. I really hope it's a useful resource.
Keep the list in mind if you're ever heading to New York and feel free to pass it along to someone you know who's traveling to the city. I love feedback, so if you do wind up dining at any of these places, please leave a comment on the restaurant listing page to let folks know if you enjoyed it or if you had a completely different experience.
You can find the NYC Restaurant Recommendation page at this link: www.andreareiser.com/nyc-eats/
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to read and share my posts, for contributing such insightful comments, and for reaching out so kindly on occasion to let me know I've touched or inspired you in some way. That's the most treasured gift of all for a writer! Happy, merry, jolly to you and yours…and a joyous, healthy, peaceful New Year.

The Gazette editors dish out far too much praise for the National Park Service in "greening" Yellowstone (Opinion, Oct. 12). Many gasoline-powered maintenance vehicles are left idling while tasks are performed, such as cleaning rest rooms. Christmas lights in Mammoth burn for weeks and weeks, sometimes until February.
The daily bus transporting NPS employees from Livingston to Yellowstone with stops along the way is questionable in terms of cost benefit. Does the under-market bus fare really just work as a perk to green the pockets of overpaid federal employees? What is the actual cost of this "green" effort as our nation tumbles ever deeper in debt?
At the park, bus-riding workers seldom carpool in government vehicles. Heavy tandem dump trucks often travel empty from the Mammoth maintenance shop to the Norris gravel pit to haul gravel out of there to other points in the park. They then return to Mammoth empty, burning an exorbitant amount of fuel and pound the heck out of the roads on their 50-mile deadhead round trip.
To go "green," truck crews should leave the trucks at the pit for the duration of the job and commute back and forth in crew-cab biodiesel pickup trucks. Motivated by profit, private-sector companies regularly do this. Going "green" only pays off through the use of common sense. Unfortunately, the NPS has none.
Environmental pet program LEED — Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design — in Yellowstone really stands for: Lackadaisical Environmental Energy Deployment.

Cody, Wyo.

In a special Waynesville City Council meeting on Monday night, Waynesville Mayor Luge Hardman appointed Lt. Daniel Cordova the next Police Chief.
The City of Waynesville has announced its new Chief of Police.
In a special Waynesville City Council meeting on Monday night, Waynesville Mayor Luge Hardman appointed Lt. Daniel Cordova the next Police Chief.
"I chose Lt. Cordova because of his experience, because of his professionalism, excellent references, his calm demeanor and his progressive thinking," Hardman said.
Hardman said the city had 15 "very good" applicants for the job and nine of those applicants were interviewed.
Cordova has more than 20 years of experience in law enforcement. After graduating from the Los Angeles Police Academy in 1992, he was assigned to the North Hollywood Area Station. While in California, he also worked at a southern California corporation as a senior corporate investigator.
Cordova moved to Missouri in 2006 in search for a better life for his family and attended the Missouri Police Academy at the University of Missouri in Columbia, where he graduated as "Best Overall Recruit." After graduating, he was hired at the St. Robert Police Department as a Patrolman assigned to traffic again and later patrol.
Roughly two and a half years ago, Cordova began working for the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department, where he served as a sergeant and later patrol lieutenant, overseeing and supervising all of the Pulaski County Sheriff Department's patrol unit.
"It's been a pleasure to work in this community," Cordova said. "It's been a pleasure to work in St. Robert, in the county, and I look forward to working with the citizens of Waynesville."
Cordova said that this is the "best community" for his family to live in. Cordova currently lives in St. Robert with his wife of 18 years and four children and plans to move to Waynesville soon.
"I feel honored to be given the opportunity to serve the people of Waynesville," Cordova said. "I plan to bring a strong, community-based police department forward. I want to create an environment that is safe and pleasant to work in, to conduct business in, and to visit."
In April, Waynesville Police Chief Bob Carter announced that he would be retiring this year. Carter has been Waynesville's Police Chief since 2008 and has worked with the city for 24 years.
"As Bob Carter leaves us, I think the Waynesville Police Department will be in good hands," Hardman said. "I hope that the department embraces him and that the community welcomes and supports Lt. Cordova."
