COLONIE >> A Saratoga Springs man who is also an assistant superintendent at a regional school district is facing drug charges after being arrested Sunday.
Colonie police said Frank Pickus, 57, of Moore Avenue was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and criminal possession of drug paraphernalia, misdemeanors, along with several traffic infractions. Police said they pulled Pickus over in the parking lot of a Starbucks on Troy Schenectady Road at 6:23 p.m. and found him to be in possession of around four grams of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.
The traffic infractions include operating with a suspended registration, failure to signal and failure to stay in his lane. He was issued an appearance ticket for March 5 at 8 p.m., and was released. It was also revealed Pickus' car registration had been suspended due to an insurance lapse.
According to Lt. Robert Winn, Pickus was cooperative with police and the report from responding officers indicated he was not under to influence when he was pulled over.
Each possession charge, both of which are misdemeanors, could carry a sentence of up to a year in jail or a $1,000 fine.
Pickus is the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction for the Gloversville Enlarged School District in Fulton County. According to a statement posted on the district's website, Superintendent Michael Vanyo said Pickus has been placed on paid administrative leave "pending an investigation."
The school district said it was unable to provide more information because it is a "personnel matter."
According to a report in a Gloversville newspaper, the district approved a three-year contract extension for Pickus in June. It increased his current salary of $98,745 by 2 percent every year until the 2015-16 school year, according to the contract.
For the 2013-14 school year, the contract states, Pickus will receive $100,719. For the 2014-15 school year, he will receive $102,734, and $104,788 for the 2015-16 school year.
Pickus is scheduled to appear Wednesday in Colonie Town Court.

Rep. Barney Frank began his retirement press conference by saying, "I'm just going to explain my reasons, which are a little complicated." Fifty minutes later, it was clear that a mix of personal and professional reasons factored into the powerful House Democrat's decision to bow out. Here's a condensed version of Frank's reasoning:
- He didn't want to lose. Though Frank said in a "Today" show interview that he thought he'd win re-election, he couldn't be sure. In 2010, when he was chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, he beat a 35-year-old rookie candidate by 11 percentage points, hardly an overwhelming margin. Next year likely would have been tougher, since Frank's district south of Boston has lots of new Republican voters as a result of redistricting. Plus, as a high-profile lightning rod in Congress, he had reason to think he'd face a wellfunded opponent. "I've become one of the great fund raisers in Congress—in gross, not so much in net," he quipped. "That is, what happened particularly last year was, I raised an enormous amount of money. Unfortunately, only half of it was for me. Half of it was for my opponent."
- He didn't want to do what was necessary to win. Over the last year, Frank has been focused on two issues: defending the Dodd-Frank Reform Act and pushing for cuts in military spending. In order to win re-election, he would have needed to spend a lot of time campaigning. His district has 325,000 new voters. He likely would have had far less time to work on financial policy and military spending. "The problem with the district from my standpoint is that it would be very timeconsuming," he said. "It would mean campaigning pretty much full-time in this new district, because they are new people, and they're not obvious automatic votes for me." And at age 71, the prospect of introducing himself to 325,000 new voters was not all that appealing. "I've always felt I was a better legislator than candidate," he said.
- Like a lot of people, he wouldn't mind making more money while working less hard. The Massachusetts congressman said that he'd like to hit the lecture circuit. His wit and flair for confrontation ensure that he'll be in high demand and perhaps do some college teaching. "Frankly, lecture fees look good to me." He would like to do more writing, and suggested that whatever he writes will be about public policy. "I know there are people who can do serious writing while they're doing other things. I can't. I'm too easily distracted," he said. "And, frankly, you know, what I now look forward to is a life of less work, much less stress, and probably more money, not from lobbying, but [from] lecturing, writing, etc."
- He's getting old.
In the "Today" interview, Frank became testy when he was asked whether his decision not to run next year was a signal that he think Democrats will not win back control of the House. "Did you think I would serve until I was 106?" he asked. Separately, he said that if he had run for reelection next year, it would have been his last campaign. "I had decided many years ago, I will not be here when I'm 75."
Frank admitted he was "initially chagrined" to see the market increase so significantly the day that he announced his retirement. "I then checked with Louise Slaughter, who has been the leader in this effort to prevent insider trading by members of Congress, to see if before the law went through, I could short the market and then announce I was running again," he joked. "But the market has since gone up even more without regard to me, so I don't take it personally."
Frank, the top Democrat on the Financial Services Committee and its chairman from 2006 to 2010, also waxed nostalgic about the last few years in Congress. He said he had a fall-back plan if Democrats were unable to abolish the Office of Thrift Supervision in the financial reform law. "It was to change its name to the Office of Fig Leaf Dispensation," Frank said. "But fortunately we were able to get it abolished instead."
Frank also said that he was disappointed the president did not nominate Elizabeth Warren to be the first director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. "I thought I was the most disappointed person in America about that, and now I have to accept the fact that I am not the person most disappointed—Scott Brown is the person most disappointed," he said, referring to the Republican senator now caught in a re-election race against Warren in Massachusetts.
What's next for Frank? Maybe a career in song writing. He offered up his first semi-original, to the tune of the schoolyard rhyme: "No more markets, no more votes, no more out-of-context quotes." And, he said, "I expect to be singing that in my head as I walk down the steps on the last day," he said.

There was huge uproar at Microsoft's plans to cut it's free account storage size, and it's Camera Roll storage bonus for Windows Phone/Mobile users. Back in November most loyal OneDrive users that had stuck with the service, were appalled that limits were to be cut to 5GB free accounts. The reason, that a few, not all users had abused the service,
Since we started to roll out unlimited cloud storage to Office 365 consumer subscribers, a small number of users backed up numerous PCs and stored entire movie collections and DVR recordings. In some instances, this exceeded 75 TB per user or 14,000 times the average. Instead of focusing on extreme backup scenarios, we want to remain focused on delivering high-value productivity and collaboration experiences that benefit the majority of OneDrive users
Most folks felt a little betrayed, and upended at this reward for their loyalty, and it was well vocalised all over the internet.
In response, there were a few threads that popped up over at Microsoft's Uservoice forums, and one in particular that, as of today has been answered with a rather satisfactory conclusion.
In November we made a business decision to reduce storage limits for OneDrive. Since then, we've heard clearly from our Windows and OneDrive fans about the frustration and disappointment we have caused. We realize the announcement came across as blaming customers for using our product. For this, we are truly sorry and would like to apologize to the community
It is not a reversal of the changes that were earlier stated, it is a workaround to let folks who have used the service not feel like they have been slighted. Good move on Microsoft's part, but it didn't have to suffer a user backlash at all. Obviously sweeping decisions in trying to expedite a problem caused much more bad press for the company than they needed… at the time… ever. The main changes are
Office 365 Home, Personal, and University subscriptions will continue to include 1 TB of storage. Any subscriber who received additional storage as part of our unlimited offer will keep it for at least 12 months. For anyone unhappy with the decision to not offer unlimited storage, we will offer a full refund
customers of our free service who have over 5 GB of content and who are directly impacted by the storage change, we will offer one free year of Office 365 Personal, which includes 1 TB of storage. These customers will receive an email with redemption information early next year
Most importantly, if you have free storage that you want to continue using,
For our biggest fans who have been loyal advocates for OneDrive, we are adding a new offer that lets you keep your existing 15 GB of free storage when the changes happen next year. If you also have the 15 GB camera roll bonus, you'll be able to keep that as well. From now until the end of January, you can sign up to keep your storage at the link below
So hit this link to gain the last quoted offer for existing users. Follow the prompts and you will be OK for the offer.

Guidelines from the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), two respected professional associations, affirm that play is essential for all children's healthy development and learning across all ages, domains, and cultures. Play does the following:
- Enables children to make sense of their world
- Develops social and cultural understandings
- Allows children to express their thoughts and feelings
- Fosters flexible and divergent thinking
- Provides opportunities to meet and solve real problems
- Develops language and literacy skills and concepts (Bredekamp & Copple, 1997; Gronlund, 2001; Isenberg & Quisenberry, 2002)
In the following play vignettes, consider how play contributes to children's cognitive, language, literacy, social/emotional, and creative development.
Cognitive Development
Ellen, Taralyn, and Jasmine are first graders. On this day early in the school year, they come into their classroom, hang up their backpacks, and then choose to play school at the chalkboard. Ellen decides that Jasmine and Taralyn should get a chair and bring it up to the board. They each also find a yardstick.
Ellen: We better have two chairs.
Taralyn: (writing on the chalkboard) Today is . . .
Jasmine: I need to check the size. (using the yardstick, begins to measure herself while sitting down) I am the big teacher. My size is up to here. (pointing to where she measured herself)
Ellen: (gets up from the chair, ready to be the teacher) I will write it. You sit down.
Jasmine: Today is what? (gets up) I want to be the teacher.
Ellen: It's my turn first. You can be the teacher next.
(As Ellen looks at the calendar to find the words she wants to use, Taralyn measures herself with the yardstick.)
Taralyn: Today is October 7, 2004.
Jasmine: Ellen, can I write, too?
Ellen: After I am finished. (Taralyn and Jasmine begin giving Ellen weather words to write.)
Taralyn: Read the calendar sentence. Hey, you forgot the 7.
Ellen: Yeah. (She goes back and inserts the number 7. Then she writes Tody and wet.)
Taralyn: What is the weather? It's my turn.
Ellen: Raise your hand for the weather.
Taralyn: Today the weather is sunny.
Ellen: (Writing on the board, she asks Taralyn for help.) What comes after s-u-n?
Taralyn: N-n-y.
The first graders in this scenario are using play as a tool for cognitive development. When we talk about cognitive development, we refer to how children make sense of their world. They do this by building on what they already know to interpret new experiences. In their play, Ellen, Taralyn, and Jasmine demonstrate the following four essential elements of cognitive development (Perkins, 1984):
- Problem solving. Using the yardstick to measure herself sitting down and standing up, Jasmine figures out the concept of size.
- Mental planning. When Ellen comes to the chalkboard area, tells Taralyn and Jasmine to get two chairs, sits down in front, and stands at the chalkboard to write, she clearly plans to play school. Mental planning also occurs when Ellen states she will be the teacher first.
- Self-monitoring. We see Ellen checking her own spelling skills when she asks Taralyn for help spelling the rest of the word sunny.
- Evaluation. When Taralyn is reading the calendar sentence and notices that Ellen forgot the 7, she demonstrates her understanding of writing the date.
Much of the research on play shows its relationship to the development of children's thinking and more sophisticated classification skills (Frost, Wortham, & Reifel, 2001; Perkins, 1984; Santrock, 2003) and the ability to use what they already know to construct new knowledge. In this case, these first graders are building on what they already know (the routines of school, specific teacher behaviors, and basic literacy concepts and skills) and extending it through playful interactions. They play with words and letters as they test the spelling of weather words and the way to record the day and date.
The cognitive skills children use in pretend play are essential for their success in school (Smilansky, 1968; Smilansky & Shefatya, 1990). All subjects and problems include cognitive skills children use to pretend, yet many subjects (such as social studies) are those with which children have limited experience. To illustrate, after a teacher shares books about the Chinese New Year, such as Lion Dancer (Waters & Slovenz-Low, 1990) or China's Bravest Girl (Chin, 1997), children's imaginations are stimulated. During play we might notice the children imagining a Chinese New Year celebration with its special dances to ward off evil spirits, colorful dragons and decorations, and special Chinese festival foods, because they are using their make-believe ability to play. In this way, real and pretend become complementary as children use make-believe to enhance their cognitive understanding (Berk, 2005; Johnson, Christie, et al., 1999; Smilansky & Shefatya, 1990).
Language Development
Evan and Anna are preparing a birthday celebration for their mother in the housekeeping area of their Head Start classroom. When they realize they need a present, Anna says, "Let's ask Mr. Bear." This is a reference to the book Ask Mr. Bear by Marjorie Flack (1932), in which Danny tries to find the perfect birthday present for his mother by asking several different animals for suggestions. After locating the book in the library corner, Evan and Anna become the goose, the goat, the cow, the hen, and the bear as they search for the perfect present. The book becomes the content for their play as they assume the roles of the animals, experiment with the intonations and inflections of the different animals, and use language to guide their own behavior and direct the behavior of others. Evan and Anna's play is contributing to their language growth and vice versa.
Proficiency in oral language is essential for all children's success in school. Studies of how children learn both their first and second language describe language use as a major influence on language development (Han, Benavides, & Christie, 2001; Morrow, 2001). In the previous scenario, we see at least four ways in which Anna and Evan's play of a birthday celebration enables them to practice important language skills:
- Communication. In pretend play, children use role-appropriate statements and metacommunication, or language used to maintain the play episode; plan a story line; and assign roles. Pretending to be someone else enables children to use voice inflections and language in situations they may or may not have encountered. Play helps children internalize the many rule systems associated with the language they are speaking. It also helps them generate multiple ways of expressing their thinking (Santrock, 2003).
- Forms and functions. During play, children learn to use language for different purposes in a variety of settings and with different people. Michael Halliday (1975) calls this process "learning how to mean," as children discover that what they say translates to what can be done. Talking in play settings allows children to practice the necessary forms and functions of language (Halliday, 1975) and helps them think about ways to communicate. Moreover, for children whose native language is not English, play offers children opportunities to build on and practice fluency in their home language in safe and informal settings (Han et al., 2001; Owocki, 1999). describes these functions, provides a language example, and identifies play contexts that support these language forms and functions.
- Purposeful verbal interaction. In play with others, children often use language to ask for materials, ask a question, seek out information and provide information to others, express ideas, explore language, and establish and maintain the play. For younger children, verbal give-and-take during sociodramatic play needs to be highly developed because children plan, manage, problem-solve, and maintain the play by verbal explanations, discussions, or commands (Smilansky & Shefatya, 1990). For older children, the ability to use a reflective and analytical approach to language is related to their level of linguistic awareness and achievements, which are essential to all forms of play.
- Play with language. Children of all ages enjoy playing with language because, in doing so, they feel in control of it. Play is their arena for experimenting with and coming to understand words, syllables, sounds, and grammatical structure. Language play for elementary school children manifests itself in the jokes, riddles, jump rope rhymes, and games they use. Elementary school children are intrigued by the sound and meaning ambiguity of "knock-knock" jokes as well as by the humor of enacting scripts that include dialogue involving multiple meanings and rhymes. These forms of language play require the transformational ability to explore the phonological, syntactic, and semantic rules of language (Bergen, 2002; Clawson, 2002, Isenberg & Quisenberry, 2002).
Literacy Development
A growing body of evidence shows how children's play contributes explicitly to their literacy development. We know that children's literacy development—their reading and writing abilities—occurs from infancy along with their oral language development. By the time they come to school, they already possess a well-developed spoken language in their native language (Christie, Enz, & Vukelich, 2003). We also know that children learn to read and write in meaningful, functional social settings that involve both social and cognitive abilities (Morrow, 2001). Elementary children become proficient readers when they view reading as an enjoyable way of learning and an important means of communication. Proficient readers demonstrate some of the same characteristics of good players; they are strategic, engaged, fluent, and independent (Bromley, 1998).
Children at play can reveal the following literacy understandings:
- Interest in stories, knowledge of story elements, and story comprehension. Evan and Anna demonstrated an interest in stories (choosing to retell Ask Mr. Bear), displayed knowledge of story elements (character, plot, setting, goal, and conflict), and exhibited story comprehension in their pretend dramatization of preparing for a birthday. Children's first attempts at reading and writing often occur during dramatic play as they read environmental print, make shopping lists, or play school. Most beginning readers rely on their oral language to gain meaning from books as they internalize the structure and meaning of language. More proficient readers have a more complex and developed concept of the interrelatedness of story elements. Dramatic play develops improved story comprehension and an increased understanding of story elements (Christie et al., 2003).
- Understanding fantasy in books. In dramatic play, children enter the play world "as if" they were another character or thing. The ability to transform oneself in play enables children to enter the world often created in books featuring talking animals (such as Ask Mr. Bear or Charlotte's Web [White, 1952]) or to write stories in which they create hypothetical characters. Elementary children's ability to play with reality is necessary to understand science fiction as well as other types of fantasy books (Bromley, 1998; Christie et al., 2003).
- Use of symbols to represent their world. As children reinvent or construct their own versions of stories, they naturally come to understand their world and make it their own by representing their understandings symbolically. Younger children's language, role enactment, or use of props provide evidence of children's competence in representing what they know (Johnson, Christie, et al., 1999; Owocki, 1999). Similarly, older children's story retellings, writing, wordplay, and the Internet provide evidence of their competence in representing the literacy behaviors they know. It is important for classroom teachers to understand the many ways children's play, games, and inventions contribute to their language and literacy development. is a checklist for documenting children's literacy development through play.

The segmented-mirror telescope pioneer talks about the challenges and innovations of designing the Keck and Thirty Meter Telescope mirrors.
SPIE Fellow Jerry Nelson is professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Astronomer for the UC Observatories/Lick Observatory. He received his PhD in physics from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1972.
He is Chief Scientist for the Thirty Meter Telescope project, and previously served as Project Scientist for what is now the Keck Observatory. He was responsible for many parts of its development, including the ideas and implementation of segmented optics, fabrication, and control systems. He was also Founding Director of the Center for Adaptive Optics at UC Santa Cruz (1999-2004).
Nelson's innovation in mirror design was to piece together a large mirror from a number of smaller tiles which would be much lighter. He devised a way to grind the tiles into the unusual asymmetric shapes needed and a system of sensors, actuators and computer control to make the tiles act as a single reflecting surface.
Nelson was named a winner of the Kavli Prize in Astrophysics -- along with Ray Wilson, formerly of Imperial College London and the European Southern Observatory, and Roger Angel, of the University of Arizona -- for innovations in the field of telescope design. They received the prize at a ceremony in Oslo, Norway, in September 2010.
He was interviewed in June 2010 at the SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation symposium in San Diego, where he was a keynote speaker.

text: When TMZ tried to prematurely kill off Lil Wayne just over a week ago, there was one strong sentiment from his associates: "FUCK TMZ." Then, exactly one week after the incident, Lil Wayne and T.I. (who was very vocal about his contempt for TMZ during Wayne's hospitalization) announced their America's Most Wanted tour...in a video that was given to TMZ exclusively. It makes you wonder if Wayne's health scare was a well-orchestrated publicity stunt. Maybe he's just really good at not holding grudges.

Martez Anderson, 38, and Lance Webb, 27, were arrested in connection with running a dog fighting operation from their residences, one of which was also a day care home during the day. They received sentences of two years and 18 months respectively.
A third defendant, Charles Sutton, 42, remains in Cook County Jail pending a trial scheduled for early January.
A raid by sheriff's police resulted in the arrests and the rescue of nine severely injured dogs from three houses in Maywood, Dart said.

Errors, walks spell trouble for Wayne Christian
By News-Argus Staff
Published in Sports on April 24, 2013 1:47 PM
BURLINGTON -- Wayne Christian left 11 runners on base and dropped a 9-6, non-conference decision against Burlington Christian at Springwood Park on Monday afternoon.
Victoria Combs surrendered just two hits and logged 10 strikeouts inside the pitcher's circle. Burlington Christian, however, capitalized on nine walks and defensive miscues that led to eight unearned runs.
Wayne Christian concluded regular-season play 5-3 overall.

Low Temperatures and Electric Power covers the proceeding of the symposium entitled qqCryogenics in Fuel and Power Technologyqq which was held in March 24-28, 1969 in London, United Kingdom. Said symposium deals with the improvement of systems for electric power and liquid natural gas delivery. The book takes on the problems of the electric power industry, large-scale refrigeration, and cryogenics, and gives different proposals for superconduction, cooling of systems, transfer of liquid natural gas, heat exchange, and energy storage. The text is recommended for electrical engineers and scientists, especially those who work for the government and aim to improve national power systems and delivery of liquid natural gas.Corrugated transfer lines would appear to provide a solution to the contraction problem [1]; however, for this analysis we ... If we take the GE model [11] at 3000 MVA, we can make a gross estimate by eliminating hydrogen refrigeration and power ... Another advantage would be to use LNG as a low temperature heat sink for the refrigerator system (however, in this example this factor was not evaluated ).

The tradition of giving a diamond engagement ring as a promise of marriage began in 1477 when Archduke Maximillian of Austria gave Mary of Burgundy a gold ring set with a diamond as a token of love.
This royal tradition has lived on over the centuries and the giving of a diamond ring has become as much of a milestone as the engagement itself. Be assured that Michel Jewellers are here to assist you through this most important event and we're proud to play a small part in it.
What style should I choose?
If you're buying together, take your time and try on different styles. Remember that a wedding band will eventually sit next to the ring so the two must fit together. You may even want to have the ring handmade to your own design and Michel Jewellers will be happy to accommodate you.
If you want to surprise her with a ring, look out for styles she likes on friends, in advertisements and in jewellers' windows. Does she prefer traditional or modern jewellery? Does she wear yellow, white gold or platinum jewellery?
The most popular engagement rings are diamond solitaires, followed by clusters and the increasingly fashionable three stone ring. Emerald, sapphire and ruby also make beautiful engagement rings.
What size does she wear?
The easiest way to find out is to borrow a ring from her jewellery box and take it to your jeweller for sizing. Don't forget to replace it before she notices it's missing!
Wedding bands
Your wedding rings are the most symbolic purchase you will ever make, and should be as individual as you are.
Whether you want a simple, classic band; sleek, contemporary style or an elaborate diamond-set design - we have the perfect ring for you. Most styles are available in 9ct and 18ct golds (white, yellow or rose or a combination) and platinum or palladium.
We specialise in shaped wedding bands, to ensure a perfect fit to your engagement ring and for that finishing touch, we can also engrave a special, private message inside your rings.

The grill will probably be propane. I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations on a grill. I have tried to do some research online, but haven't been able to find a good and legitimate rating site that has rated grills. I want something that will last, and can stand to be outside with just a grill cover over it. What are somethings I should look for in a grill? Do you prefer stainless steel or the porcelain coated cast iron grates? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Rise of Immortals is an online, free-to-play PC game that brings new, innovative features to the Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) genre in order to provide a robust gameplay experience for both core and casual players. The game features the popular action-strategy gameplay of traditional MOBA games, but adds enhanced socialization features. Instead of an account-based leveling system, players can advance their Immortals through a diverse, persistent skill tree, customizing and upgrading the characters to unlock unique abilities that persist from match to match.
In addition, Rise of Immortals features a social hub where players can show off their enhanced Immortals, chat, emote, browse leaderboards, shop, manage friend and guild lists and more. Players also have the option of taking their Immortals through cooperative Player versus Environment (PvE) scenarios to learn the game.
The battle arena genre is starting to get crowded. With the Defense of the Ancients mod that started it all still going strong, League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth in full swing, and DOTA 2 and Smite on the way, there's one more title MOBA fans should know about: Petroglyph's Rise of Immortals. The studio announced today that the game is now in the final phase of its open beta and set for launch on September 12. Read More »

"Le dernier caravanserail," the epic work by Ariane Mnouchkine that her Paris-based company, Le Theater du Soleil, performed at Lincoln Center Festival in 2005, was a titanic theater piece depicting the global migration of war refugees uprooted from their homes. "Les Ephemeres," while composed of domestic scenes set in modern-day France, is no less concerned with the fragile, transitory nature of human life and happiness. With the audience seated, arena-style, on both sides of a narrow strip of stage, scenes roll by on wheeled turntables, presenting snatches of life — happy, sad, brutish — that are quickly swept away to become part of the past.
The intimate story vignettes that flash, burn and flit by our eyes on what Mnouchkine calls "mobile chariots" reflect the collective contributions of the full ensemble, whose 50 performing members include 18 eerily beautiful children. Those with the strongest thigh muscles also push, pull and spin the wheeled platforms. Working under the eye of stage designer Everest Canto de Montserrat, members of the ensemble also contributed artifacts for the elaborately and exquisitely dressed sets.
The first set — of the childhood home that a young woman is forced to sell after the death of her mother — is dressed in full view of the audience, as if to show us how mechanically we accumulate the household artifacts that comfort us. One night and 29 scenes later, that same set is ritualistically struck, as if to show us how easy, and how inevitable, it is to lose the objects, as well as the people, that once defined our lives.
As in "Le dernier caravanserail," themes of loss and abandonment through death, displacement or the absence of love are woven throughout the piece. This time, however, especially in the second of the two parts, there seem to be sparks of light in the form of kind souls who come forward to help some suffering stranger.
A pregnant friend with a house full of kids will find space for the traumatized child of a battered wife. A fastidious lab technician at a public health clinic will befriend the crazy old lady who thinks her tumor is a fetus. A sweet little girl will play board games and watch old movies with the lonely transvestite tormented by her classmates. Astonishingly, there is nothing the least bit sentimental about these moments of human contact. They are far too fragile and, as the title of the piece indicates, much too ephemeral.
The life stories don't always interconnect; but when they do — often out of the blue and without comment — the effect can be electrifying. Jeanne Clement (an extraordinarily self-contained perf by Delphine Cottu), the depressed young woman who has to sell the house and the wonderful garden where she grew up, finds a buyer in a man who is ecstatic about the birth of his first child.
The emotional contrast between them is striking in itself. When we meet both characters again in part two, the happy father is wild with anger because his ex-wife is failing to honor his visiting rights to his beloved child. But in a bittersweet reversal, the grieving daughter has "found" her mother by tracking down the grandparents she never thought to ask her mother about — at the same time that her own daughter finds her way back to the wondrous old house and garden.
Too many of these connections and reversals would be too schematic, and Mnouchkine is far too strong a theatrical force to sway with that wind. So, many of the vignettes remain just that — brief moments of everyday life caught in glimpses as they roll by, swept away in the swift and ruthless passing of time. So pretty. So sad. So soon over.

Russia's last private national television channel, TVS, was forced to shut down earlier this week, and was immediately replaced by the new state-controlled channel Sport. Analysts say the way the closure came about is raising questions about whether the government is moving to stifle independent media ahead of upcoming parliamentary and presidential elections.
The Russian Press Ministry announced the closure of TVS on Monday in the official government newspaper, saying the station was having financial difficulties, as well as management problems. It also alluded to taking audience opinion into account, but declined to elaborate.
With the demise of TVS, there are no longer any independent television stations in Russia. In recent years, two other stations - NTV and TV-6 - that were once independent have either been taken over by the government or closed.
Vasily Perfiryev is the deputy chief of the media partnership that holds TVS' broadcasting license. Mr. Perfiryev ridiculed the ministry's explanation as absolute stupidity, and said the whole situation smacks of politics. He has also vowed to contest the Press Ministry action in the courts.
Mr. Perfiryev says he has no doubt the closure is connected to the December parliamentary elections, as well as next year's presidential vote. He says the reason the Press Ministry can't fully explain its action is because, as he put it, it's illegal. Mr. Perfiryev says his partnership, Media-Sotsium (Society), has an official state license to broadcast on the frequency, which, he points out, no one has taken away.
Mr. Perfiryev adds that, by law, a television station may only be shut down by court order. As such, he said, he is confident his group will confirm its right to broadcast after what he acknowledges will likely be a long, drawn-out fight. But Mr. Perfiryev says Media-Sotsium is ready for the struggle.
The director of an independent media group, the Moscow-based Center for Journalism in Extreme Situations, Oleg Panfilov, also doubts the government's explanation for closing TVS. He says many mass media representatives in Russia have financial problems. But he says that does not give the government license to shut them down.
Using newspapers as an example, Mr. Panfilov says that only three papers in Russia are considered independent and profitable. All the others, he said, are in dire financial shape, but still operating. Mr. Panfilov says that leads him to believe that the TVS closure can only be about politics and abuse of power.
Mr. Panfilov adds that Russia has an international obligation to support independent mass media, especially as President Vladimir Putin and his officials say they seek to move Russia closer to Europe.
Mr. Panfilov also suggests that TVS never was a serious threat to government-controlled media, attracting only five to 10 percent of Russian television viewers. But he says even that is apparently too much for the Russian leadership, which he alleges is afraid of any unpredictable variable in an election year.
VOA sought additional government comment about the closure through the Russian Press Ministry that took the action. But ministry officials declined to be interviewed, saying only that the decision was very complicated.
While many critics are describing the closure of TVS as the death knell for independent media in Russia, Mr. Panfilov says Russia never has had any semblance of a totally free, non-state-controlled media, as in the West. He says even more than 10 years since the end of communism in Russia, the leaders of the country are still not comfortable with a free media.
Three days after TVS was shut down, Russia's upper house of parliament, the Federation Council, approved legislation allowing the government to shut down any media outlet for election coverage allegedly deemed biased. Backers of the legislation said it was meant to curb so-called propaganda. A first violation would result in a fine, while the second would bring a suspension until the end of the election campaign.
The bill still needs to be signed by President Putin to become law.
A media rights watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, this week voiced concern over the new legislation, as well as the closure of TVS. The group said the measures will seriously threaten the diversity and freedom of news coverage in Russia, especially during the upcoming elections.

OPG Engineering Recruitment Video Transcript
New people, new opportunities and new challenges.
Best thing that's happened since I graduated.
It's a great place to work.
Ismail, Assistant Technical Engineer Officer: OPG has given me a lot of opportunities that I would not have had at other companies.
Lothi, Engineering Trainee: I think OPG is a great place to work. Definitely, I would recommend OPG to other people.
Mark Arnone, Director, Projects and Modifications: It's given me many places to grow, many different challenges to try on a regular basis. It offers a wide range of areas to use my engineering skills and talents. I'd say it's been a wonderful place to work.
Mark: We have many retiring employees that the new grads are going to come in to, to take those positions. They will be the leadership of the organization moving forward.
Ismail: I feel extremely safe working at a nuclear plant.
Nuala, Engineering/Applied Science Trainee: They've given us all the training that we need to know and they provide us with all the equipment that we need to stay safe at our jobs.
Safety systems that we have are second to none. The radiation control that we go through is incredibly precise.
I feel that OPG is a very safe place to work.
Pay is great.
Your starting salary as an engineer- it's very competitive, better than almost any other firm.
The benefits at OPG are really good, especially their health benefits-excellent.
It's not just a workplace; it's like a small community.
It's a good relationship, not only during the working hours but you make a lot of friendships outside of the working hours that you can build on.
A lot of the people I work with are actually close friends of mine where we do things outside of work so it's a great balance.
Training, I think, for OPG is the second most important thing besides safety.
They have a lot of variations of training courses available for employees.
OPG lets you take courses outside of OPG.
Training prepares me for my future.
The most important information, I think, that I've found, is from the veteran employees. They've seen it, they've been there, they've done it and you're not going to find that in any design manual or any operating manual or any textbook.
When I started at OPG I was assigned to a mentor who will walk me through the job. When I met Tom for the first time he was very warm and he was willing to help me and I felt that I could learn a lot from him. He had a lot of knowledge that he accumulated over a number of years.
Tom, senior Design Engineer: I have been working for Instrumentation and Control for 30 years. I want to pass on my working knowledge and experience to her.
OPG is such a big company that you can start off in one department and move around.
You will not be limited. You will have many opportunities. If you stay in the company and you work hard the opportunities are endless.
I definitely don't feel limited at OPG.
Based on what I see from the current crop of new grads, I think they'll be moving into senior positions much quicker than we did.
We are the future of OPG.

Joo Sang Wook, Kim Hyun Joo, Ji Soo, Park Si Yeon, and Kim Tae Hoon explain their complex Fantastic characters
One of the biggest appeals of upcoming romantic melodrama Fantastic is its talented cast lead by Joo Sang Wook (Good Doctor, Birth of a Beauty), Kim Hyun Joo (Boys Over Flowers, Cruel Palace), Park Si Yeon (Greatest Marriage), Kim Tae Hoon (One More Happy Ending), and Ji Soo(Scarlet Heart: Ryeo), and in these special behind-the-scenes videos we get to hear each individual actor's in-depth thoughts about their character.
Joo Sang Wook's character is called the "Great Star of the Universe, Foot-Caprio," and he is a a popular, yet untalented, actor who bumps heads and starts to fall in love with Kim Hyun Joo.
Kim Hyun Joo's character is a talented drama writer who only has six months left to live. She struggles with her terminal diagnosis, but is determined to live her life to the fullest, even finding love in the most unexpected place with Joo Sang Wook's character.
Ji Soo plays a smart, good looking young lawyer who is innocent when it comes to love. He will be in a noona romance with Park Si Yeon.
Park Si Yeon will be playing Baek Seol, the wife of a man from a prominent political family. At first she is "cosplaying as a good wife and mother," but she can only put on a show for so long. She was once a hot-headed bad girl, but now she must hide her true self in order to play the part of a calm and modest politician's wife. She eventually finds true love and friendship, experiencing an awakening to what life has to offer.
Kim Tae Hoon plays an eccentric doctor named Hong Joon Ki, who is treating the female lead's terminal illness.

Remembering James Papa
- May 26th, 2010
- Write comment
Submitted By: James Byrne
James Papa (also known by his Italian name of Giacomo) was born on 3rd August 1967. James died on 19th April 1996. He was only 28 years old.
In those 28 years he did more than many get to to do in a lifetime three times as long. And, perhaps more importantly, he also had a profound impact on the lives of those he came into contact with. A great many people continue to remember James with great love and affection. James is certainly not forgotten.
However until now there has been no way to share our memories with each other and to provide at least a virtual memorial to someone so dearly loved. Since James died it has always been my intention to share my photographs, music, videos and other memories with those that will appreciate them. In recent years the move to digital media and the growth of the internet has made it easier than ever to do this. Consequently I decided to stop talking about doing it and to actually make a start.

When: July 21-28 2012
There's only one El Paso County Fair, and there's only one week (give or take a day) each year when it unfolds in all its heaving, odoriferous glory. But there are multiple cow-milking demos, swine shows and hypnotist presentations on today's docket alone, so you'd do well to get to the County Fairgrounds (366 10th St., Calhan) between 8 and 4. Discounts on the tickets — which don't exceed $7, regardless — abound between July 21 and 28, so visit tinyurl.com/el-paso-county-fair to get the details and to study the full schedule. Hey, the bone-density screenings only happen once! — Kirk Woundy

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. political adviser David Axelrod spelt British opposition leader Ed Miliband's surname wrongly in a Tweet on Friday erroneously linking to a spoof account that pokes fun at his new client instead.
The gaffe, which came down to Axelrod, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, putting an extra 'l' in the Labour party leader's surname, delighted British Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party who sought to make political capital from the mistake.
"Labour's latest guru @davidaxelrod gets Ed Miliband's name wrong in tweet - DOH! £300k (300,000 pounds) a year for this?," the party's central office wrote in a Tweet, mischievously asking whether Axelrod had actually met the real Miliband.
Axelrod, who swiftly fixed the spelling mistake, has been in London meeting Miliband and the Labour party for the first time since being hired by them to offer strategic advice ahead of a national election next year.
To compound Miliband's discomfort, the former Obama adviser unwittingly linked to a spoof account on Twitter which mocks the real Miliband and once included a false announcement of his resignation.
Miliband, who is hoping to win local and European elections next week and next year's national election, was asked what he made of Axelrod's error in an interview.
"That's the perils of Twitter. I've been the victim of bad tweeting myself. That's the kind of thing that happens," Miliband told BBC radio.
The incident comes at a difficult time for Miliband after the Conservatives overhauled his party's lead in the opinion polls for the first time in more than two years earlier this month, shifting the media's focus onto his leadership skills.
Cameron's Conservatives have also hired a former Obama adviser - Jim Messina.

Sewing Straps
Added Apr 24, 2007
By burdastyle
New York, New Yo...
Step 1
When sewing together strips of cloth to make into straps, handles, or cord you might find it difficult to turn them right-side out after sewing because they are not usually very wide but are very long. There are two ways to do this. You can use a loop turner- available at fabric/notion stores. If you do not have one, do the following steps using a safety pin.

Photo by yours truly
After earning my college degree, travelling has become one of my top priorities in my checklist. Just the thought of seeing the world outside my hometown, and gazing through the clouds from the plane window would blaze adrenaline to me and my peers. As we discover places, we were introduced to the "traveler" and the "tourist". The former pertains to exploring the world with very little to no preparedness at all. They are the backpackers admirable for their brave heart and enthusiasm. On the other hand, the "tourist" is the one who has the list of everything-on-hand, from destinations, essentials, clothing and the like. In short, this is the total opposite of being a traveler. But on the contrary of this being frowned upon by some, being a tourist has a perks of its own.
If you're the type that you want to rest your brain from the act of sudden hassle or the mere fact of minimizing physical exhaustion, a well-planned vacation with pure relaxation is for you. You just have to sit back and let your allocated money and itinerary do their job. No need to be anxious on how to go from point A and B, cause everything from the time you set foot out of the plane 'till you go home is already taken care of.
Getting lost is okay sometimes. But it also entails you to lose time to see a lot of important spots because of being lost. Most of your precious time will then be allotted to wandering around and asking locals for direction. As much as possible, we want to maximize our holidays with meaningful events, not with those stories of scratching our heads and asking where to go. For us young professionals, our time for leisure is at the mercy of our approved vacation leave(s) in the midst of our busy schedules. That is why every tick of the clock is considered a luxury, not unless if you have all the time and money in the world.
You don't always have to trust luck when it comes to taking OOTD photos for your Instagram. Being ready can yield you the same results similar to those boasted to the unplanned ones. Why expect and wait for that photo-worthy location if you can actually identify some before your vacation? Doing your homework on the best spots and its complementing outfit can bring you home a memory card full of snap options – Talk about food for your feeds!. After all, it is our happiness to add a "portfolio" to our memories and experiences.
Who says you can't have comfort while you make memories? Reality is, you don't have to sacrifice comfort for the sake of your trip. A voyage will not be tarnished if you would trade a tent or hammock to a nice bed. You can still enjoy some of the things that a traveler would do, just with the added perks of recharging your mind and body for the next day's activity.
Travelers are always ready to take the plunge. They are delighted by climbing mountains and continuously crave for adventures that require a lot of physical activities. However, there are others who would want to escape reality and look for a moment to unwind and lighten up. These usually involve a trip to museums; visiting renowned spots and restaurants; or simply getting a tan in the beach.
You might be in question when you see this. In your mind, you are thinking that a traveler is synonymous to expanding the potential of a small amount of money into something meaningful. The few penny and planning method has been tried and tested, but expect to shed some cash in some instances that you are unable to find a vehicle to hitchhike, or a cheap motel to spend the night, especially if you are really craving for that rest after a day full of activities. Mind you, last minute or on-the-spot booking may come with a golden price tag.
I'm not saying that you won't be immune to a sudden break-a-bank moment. Chances are slim if you have everything settled and prepared beforehand. There are hotels/inns offering a discounted rate when you book ahead of time. Travel agencies also offer a nice transportation service that can take you around places or even transfer you from one island into another.

The Pro bend is positioned just below the mid-point of the shaft with a 23.5mm bend. The shaft has then been shaped to give a thinner profile under the right hand and a balance point that favours the head end of the stick. This gives a combination of great stick turn-over because of the shape but better hitting power because of the balance point and sweet spot.

About Will
As a musician, producer and engineer, Will Yip is inspired by great songwriting. He's interested in songs – of any genre – and how they have the power and possibility to touch a lot of people. Yip, who grew up in the Philadelphia area playing drums and writing songs, first found himself in a studio at age 12 and was immediately captivated by the process of creating music. By 14, he had a job assisting in a local studio and began saving up his money to fill his mom's basement with recording equipment. He recorded his first band, hardcore act Blacklisted, there a few years later and built a following of local punk acts, who all laid down tracks in his mom's house.
In college at Temple University, where Yip studied recording, he worked with acclaimed producer and professor Phil Nicolo and interned at Ground Control Studios and Indre Studios. He engineered The Fray's Live from the Electric Factory in 2006 and began working out of Conshohocken, PA's Studio 4 that same year, where he recorded his first important effort, Blacklisted's No One Deserves To Be Here More Than Me, in 2009. Since then, Yip became a partner in Studio 4 and has produced and engineered albums for Lauryn Hill, Title Fight, Circa Survive, Balance + Composure, MeWithoutYou, La Dispute, None More Black and The Wonder Years, building a community of artists who continue to return to Yip for each subsequent album.
Yip, multi-genre producer, draws inspiration from a vast range of music, pulling from hip-hop to hardcore to indie rock and focusing wholly on building great songs. Since the beginning, he's approached each album as if it were his last, ensuring that he gives 100 percent to every project and aiming to make each release bigger and better than the artist's previous. In 2013, Yip released a compilation of his artists, Off The Board: A Studio 4 Compilation, which featured songs from Title Fight, Circa Survive, Tigers Jaw and Anthony Green. In 2015, Yip launched an in-house record label called Memory Music.
