Gov. Mark Dayton's $37 billion budget would shave more than half of the state's $6.2 billion deficit over the next two years by increasing income taxes on the wealthiest Minnesotans, something he pledged to do during last year's campaign.
According to Dayton's office, 95% of Minnesotans will experience no tax increase under the proposed budget. Dayton proposes a new income tax tier at 10.95% for joint filers over $150,000 and head of household filers over $130,000; and a temporary income surtax of three percent for all filers over $500,000. He also proposed a statewide property tax on home values over $1,000,000.

Click here for a glimpse of our first couple-in-waiting, from "60 Minutes," which is the envy of all news orgs this weekend for landing the first post-election sit-down with President-elect Obama and Michelle Obama.
They're young, whip-smart, good-looking and they have a sense of humor. What's not to love?
CBS won't let us grab the vid to embed just yet, but they did provide a handy transcript of the clip from the interview conducted today by "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Kroft.
STEVE KROFT: When did it sink in?
MICHELLE OBAMA: I remember, we were watching the returns and, on one of the stations, Barack's picture came up and it said, "President-Elect Barack Obama." And I looked at him and said, 'You are the 44th president of the United States of America. Wow. What a country we live in."
BARACK OBAMA: How about that?
MICHELLE OBAMA: Yeah.
BARACK OBAMA: Yeah. Yeah. And then she said "Are you going take the girls to school in the morning?" (LAUGHTER)
MICHELLE OBAMA: I did not. (LAUGHTER) I didn't say that.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) _ Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's proposal to reduce the penalty for possessing less than a half-ounce of marijuana has passed a key committee vote in the Connecticut General Assembly.
The new bill would impose an infraction for possessing small amounts of marijuana, instead of a misdemeanor and possible prison term. The legislation passed the finance committee Tuesday by a 31-20 vote. It moves to the Senate.
Under the bill, a second or subsequent offense would be punishable by a fine of $200 to $500.
Malloy supports the proposal as a way to help reduce the state's prison population, making the criminal justice system more cost-effective. But Chief State's Attorney Kevin Kane has said people don't go to prison for possession of small amount of marijuana unless there are other aggravating factors.

Hungarian Government Approves Andy Vajna's Film Funding Overhaul
Several local production companies could shut down as banks call in bad debt.
COLOGNE, Germany - The Hungarian government has approved the plan proposed by Hollywood producer Andy Vajna to overhaul Hungary's bankrupt film funding system. Hungary's prime minister, Victor Orban has backed Vajna's plan, which calls for around $8.7 million (1.6 billion Hungarian Forints) in state funding for a new body, the Hungarian National Film Fund. Hungarian-born Vajna, whose Hollywood credits include Terminator, Basic Instinct and Rambo, now has to submit a three-year-plan for the new fund.
The Hungarian National Film Fund replaces the old Hungarian funding body, the Hungarian Motion Picture Foundation, or MMKA, which the government shut down last summer after the body racked up some $50 million in debt. Much of that is held by banks which advanced credit to local and international producers based on funding guarantees with the MMKA. Now that the MMKA is bust, the banks are calling in their debt. Some 49 production companies are effected. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter in Cannes last month, Vajna said his new film fund will not be able to honor all debts to local and international producers, though he is in negotiation with at least four banks.
Looking to the future, Vajna said the new fund will do less than the old MMKA, focusing entirely on production financing. "The old system tried to do too much, even paying for film clubs and things like that…and it was badly managed," he said. "Our new plan is more transparent, more down-to-earth. In the future, the financing for Hungarian films will be based on talent, not connections."
Vajna said the new fund hopes to begin reading scripts by mid-June and that it plans to back "between three to four films this year and hopefully double that next year."
Hungary's popular 20 percent tax break for local shoots has not been effected by the changes. Vajna said the tax incentive has been essential in "keeping Hungarian talent employed on international projects during this funding crisis" but that he would like to make the tax break more transparent and easy-to-use. Hungary's tax break is one reason Marc Forster picked the country as a location for his upcoming zombie thriller World War Z starring Brad Pitt. World War Z begins its Hungarian shoot this October.
Vajna said he has no plans to go back to Hollywood just yet, saying he expects to be running of Hungary's film policy for the next two to three years.

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Not much sporting theatre can rival the thrills and spills of Augusta National's Amen Corner on the last day of the Masters and Sunday's closing round was no exception.
Entire golfing careers have been both defined and ruined by the 11th, 12th and 13th holes that wind their way between the Georgia pine trees and are pock-marked by the bright red azaleas, the infamous Rae's Creek and Ben Hogan's bridge.
Who can forget the way American Scott Hoch made a mess of the treacherous par-four 10th when he missed a two-foot putt to lose out to Britain's Nick Faldo in a playoff in gathering gloom in 1989?
Or the drama at the 12th in 1992 when Fred Couples' ball defied gravity, staying on the bank to avoid a watery grave as he scraped an unlikely par on the way to a two-stroke victory.
The best viewing area is at the top of the hill where spectators have a perfect vantage point of both the 11th green and the 12th tee.
The huge galleries are 30 to 35 deep and the atmosphere simply crackles with electricity.
The collective intake of breath when the leaderboard beside the 11th green is about to be changed to signify changing events elsewhere on the course is audible.
When eventual winner Bubba Watson was shown to have dropped a stroke at the 10th there were cries of 'Oh no Bubba'.
In stark contrast was the fever pitch of excitement generated when Georgia native Matt Kuchar delivered a majestic approach to the 11th that ended up stone dead.
Minutes later the local hero strode purposefully on to the green and tapped in his putt before being greeted by an ear-splitting chorus of 'Koooch, Koooch, Koooch'.
Former champion Couples is another favorite of the galleries and his age-defying performance was accorded due respect at the short 12th.
The smooth-swinging 54-year-old, who contended for the title all week before fading at the end to finish 10 shots behind the winner, was given a standing ovation when he walked on to the tee with cries ranging from 'C'mon Freddie' to 'Way to go Boom Boom'.
His attention perhaps deflected, Couples struck a wayward tee shot that failed to find the putting surface but he recovered in style with a delicate chip to 12 inches.
When there was a hiatus in play the chat among the crowd turned to banter with some striking private bets on who would get the next up and down at the fiendishly tough 11th and others wagering on the closest to the pin at the 12th.
Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez had the fans in stitches when he just about avoided Rae's Creek with his tee shot before turning to the crowd, offering an ear-to-ear grin and repeatedly tapping on his heart to denote his relief.
The two combatants in the final match of the day, Watson and young gun Jordan Spieth, were given a rousing welcome to the 11th green.
Both players had produced pinpoint approach shots that had the massed throng on their feet, whooping and hollering.
Watson and Spieth failed to convert their birdie opportunities and almost as soon as they walked off the 12th tee the noise died down as most made their way to the exits.
'See you next year,' said one marshal as his friend in the crowd placed his green Masters foldup chair under his arm. 'You bet,' came the reply.

Ali has been hearing for past two days from Mahek that he overreacted and ovetacted when Ajaz attacked him. Initially Ali ignored her for an entire day, but this morning when he found Mahek talking to Sambhavna and others repeating the same thing he lost his cool. He fired back at her saying enough was enough and now Mahek was crossing her limits. He taunted her saying that she wasn't a successful actress herself and she was talking about others and about their acting skills, which was none of her business! Ali went on to being too personal on this making Mehak feel disgusted as she frowned! Mahek screamed back saying that it was he who was crossing his limits and not her. She said she just pointed out what everyone felt. Not denying the fact that he was hurt; yes he was! But Ali took it way too far.
Something was truly wrong with Ali since morning because he had not only been after Mahek but even Gautam! Ali walked out of the living room when Dimpy and Karishma came to hear his side of story! But a few hours later, Ali and Mahek confronted each other after cooling down and tried talking it out wisely. I just hope they do so!

|Background: S. Typhi, a human-restricted Salmonella enterica serovar, causes a systemic intracellular infection in humans (typhoid fever). In comparison, S. Typhimurium causes gastroenteritis in humans, but causes a systemic typhoidal illness in mice. The PhoP regulon is a well studied two component (PhoP/Q) coordinately regulated network of genes whose expression is required for intracellular survival of S. enterica. Methodology/Principal Findings: Using high performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), we examined the protein expression profiles of three sequenced S. enterica strains: S. Typhimurium LT2, S. Typhi CT18, and S. Typhi Ty2 in PhoP-inducing and non-inducing conditions in vitro and compared these results to profiles of \(phoP^−/Q^−\) mutants derived from S. Typhimurium LT2 and S. Typhi Ty2. Our analysis identified 53 proteins in S. Typhimurium LT2 and 56 proteins in S. Typhi that were regulated in a PhoP-dependent manner. As expected, many proteins identified in S. Typhi demonstrated concordant differential expression with a homologous protein in S. Typhimurium. However, three proteins (HlyE, STY1499, and CdtB) had no homolog in S. Typhimurium. HlyE is a pore-forming toxin. STY1499 encodes a stably expressed protein of unknown function transcribed in the same operon as HlyE. CdtB is a cytolethal distending toxin associated with DNA damage, cell cycle arrest, and cellular distension. Gene expression studies confirmed up-regulation of mRNA of HlyE, STY1499, and CdtB in S. Typhi in PhoP-inducing conditions. Conclusions/Significance: This study is the first protein expression study of the PhoP virulence associated regulon using strains of Salmonella mutant in PhoP, has identified three Typhi-unique proteins (CdtB, HlyE and STY1499) that are not present in the genome of the wide host-range Typhimurium, and includes the first protein expression profiling of a live attenuated bacterial vaccine studied in humans (Ty800).

New JAMA feature gives writers some room for debate
Journals routinely provide fodder for debates on medical topics, but rarely offer a forum in which to hold those debates.
Enter JAMA's Viewpoint feature, in which the editor chooses a topic, picks a panel of experts and pits them against each another in print. The publication schedule is sporadic—Editor-in-Chief Howard Bauchner told MM&M he hopes to run four or five in a year and build up to one every month—but the response has been consistent. Bauchner said a March Viewpoint about slashing medical training time triggered a flurry of reader responses that has dwarfed any other published items since he took the reins in 2011.
Responses have gone beyond the scope of the medical discussion, signaling that the 129-year-old publication has tapped into something important.
"I've received about 10 ideas for future dueling viewpoints, so I'm always pleased when people feel engaged with what we're doing," he said.
Bauchner said the column is part of a strategy to make his publication a more immersive experience. Other components of that plan include rolling out a new website and apps.
"Journals, if they sit on people's desks unread, are not very successful," he said. "Journals have to engage their readers. That's true in print. And it's true on the web."But he says there are limits: "There's been a lot of questions that have arisen round Twitter and Facebook and blogging … I'm not certain 140 characters does the content justice, so although we have a presence in the social network arena, I don't know what our future will be there."

Dr. Alon Friedman, an Israeli who trained as a neurosurgeon and is a long-experienced researcher and medical school professor, has been recruited to work in Halifax's brain-research sector.
He has a cross-appointment at Dalhousie University's medical school and the IWK Health Centre, and is the newly appointed William Dennis Chair in Epilepsy Research.
Friedman moved to Halifax in July. He's been a researcher and professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beer-Sheva, Israel.
In an interview Saturday, Friedman said he has taken a sabbatical from his Ben-Gurion post. He said he still has an active laboratory at the university, and is commuting back and forth between Nova Scotia and Israel.
Friedman, 49, said the Dennis Chair will provide the chance to continue his lab work and clinical trials, "which would be likely to progress in North America." He said he's also buoyed by the collaborative environment in the city's brain-research circle.
"Within North America, I felt that Nova Scotia is a good place to be," Friedman said.
The Dennis Chair was previously held by Dr. Michael Esser, who was appointed in 2008. He's moved on and now works at the University of Calgary.
Friedman will also be an ambassador for this year's Molly Appeal campaign, the fundraising branch of the Dalhousie Medical Research Foundation. It's been the key local supporter of neuroscience research at Dalhousie's medical school for many years, the organization says.
In a backgrounder provided to The Chronicle Herald, the foundation says Friedman "is on the forefront of global efforts to detect and repair vascular damage in the brain that can lead to epilepsy and neurodegenerative diseases."
Friedman said in a phone interview he'll continue his animal research here, but "also translate our studies into patients." He said the goal is to "prevent epilepsy. Instead of treating the disorder, we want to prevent it or treat it very, very early, and to cure epilepsy."
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting about 9,500 Nova Scotians, according to Dalhousie officials. Nerve cell activity in the brain "is disturbed, causing a seizure during which (people) experience abnormal behaviour, symptoms and sensations, including loss of consciousness," the Mayo Clinic's website says.
The chair in epilepsy research was created in 2005 with a gift of $2.3 million from the Dennis family of Halifax. It honours the late William Dennis who died suddenly in 2002, at age 30, of complications relating to an epileptic seizure.
Publicity material from Dalhousie said an additional $1.2 million was collected from other donors toward a total funding of $3.5 million for the research chair.
The Dennis family owns The Chronicle Herald.
Researchers estimate between 0.5 and one per cent of the population has epilepsy — an estimated 50 million people worldwide, says the Epilepsy Association of Nova Scotia. "Most epilepsy begins at the extremes of age (childhood and old age) but new cases can develop at any age depending on the cause," its website says.
In a news release, Friedman said the opportunity to work in Halifax's research community was an attractive one.
"It was … appealing to me that the Dennis family cares so much about epilepsy research, they would fund a research chair. It's important to me that people in the community are promoting and supporting research," he said in the release.
It said while in Israel more than 20 years ago, Friedman "found that damage to blood vessels in the brain, from concussion, traumatic brain injury, stroke, high blood pressure or other reasons, is associated with epileptic seizures."
Friedman, who spent time as a physician in the Israeli army and is the son of Holocaust survivors, has not only moved to a city where leaders in their fields are doing neuroscience research and working on solving the epilepsy puzzle, he's far from the violence of the Middle East.
He said the Beer-Sheva region has been hit by missiles during the recent Gaza war involving Hamas and Israel. In 2012, Ben-Gurion University was temporarily closed due to rocket fire from Gaza, media reports said. Friedman said the school had a short-term shut down this year, too.
A father of two adult children, Friedman is a dual Israeli-Hungarian citizen. He said personal safety was "not at all" a factor behind his reasons for taking the Dennis Chair.
Friedman said the research opportunities and ability to collaborate with colleagues formed the basis of his decision to come to Halifax.

NEW YORK CITY—Lee & Associates has started the new year with the lease of the 50,000-sq.-ft. Fulton Crossing at 140 William Street. The 20-year lease transaction, with the asking rent on the property at $1.7 million per annum, was brokered by the Lee & Associates NYC team of Peter Braus and James Wacht, managing principal and president respectively, and managing directors Gabe Isaacs, Peter Levitan and Garry Steinberg, representing the landlord, Crikos LLC. David Falk and Kyle Ciminelli of Newmark Knight Frank represented the tenant, Pace University.

We'd like to extend a warm LSI welcome to our new school director and assistant director at LSI London Hampstead, Maggie Carruthers and Kat Holloway.
Maggie Carruthers, our new school director, comes to us after seven and half years working as a school director for Kaplan in southern Brazil. Despite her rather Scottish sounding surname, Maggie actually hails from Brazil but has spent several years in London. With a CELTA, a BA in Law, and a Masters in International Law under her belt, Maggie is highly qualified and with a total of 14 years working in EFL as a teacher, senior teacher, academic director and school director, can call upon a vast amount of experience for her new role with LSI. Despite a busy schedule, Maggie still finds time to study for the diplomat exams, her long term goal being to work as a diplomat in Afghanistan.
Maggie: " I want to make a difference to people's lives , which is one of the reasons I love teaching. As a diplomat though , especially somewhere like Afghanistan, I feel I could really help to change people's lives for the better ."
Our new assistant school director, Kat Holloway, also has plenty of international experience and excellent EFL credentials with both DELTA qualifications and a Masters in English. Earlier customer focussed roles included advising on unforgettable gap years for eager but often inexperienced students, looking for their first independent, global adventure. In Kat's first ever teaching role, she was thrown straight in at the deep end. She spent 18 months working in Taipei teaching students ranging from the Kindergarten all the way up to international businessmen, surely a challenge even for the most experienced teacher!
Kat flourished though and was soon looking for a fresh challenge. Moving to Madrid, she worked at both the Chester School of English and Hylands working as a teacher, then teacher trainer and finally during the last year as the Director of Studies. Kat is really happy about her move to London.
Kat: "I'm sure I'm going to love living in London, there's always so much to do. The atmosphere at LSI is so friendly so I know I'm going to love working here and being part of the LSI London Hampstead team. "
Welcome on board guys!

CHALFONT, Pa. (CBS) — A ten-year-old girl is in good condition today after nearly drowning at a summer camp in Bucks County this morning.
Warrington Township police lieutenant Daniel Friel says the girl jumped into a pool shortly after 11 o'clock, immediately sank to the bottom, came back up and sank again.
An alert lifeguard jumped in and pulled the girl out of the water.
Friel says the girl never lost consciousness and was taken to Abington Memorial Hospital as a precaution.
The incident happened at Camp America, a summer camp located on Lower State Road in the Chalfont section of Warrington Township.

Annick Ménardo 2006
[bwa darme'ni]
Family: woody, oriental
Notes: frankincense, orris, pink pepper, guaiac wood, benzoin, coriander, copaiba balsam, patchouli, white musk
Cool incense
Period: The haute cuisine years
From the beginning, Guerlain's prestigious L'Art & la Matière line didn't exactly have critics raving. Maybe this was intended, since it was supposed to be "niche" fragrances, luxuries without broad appeal. The style was regarded as rather "un-Guerlain", a bit pretentious and lacking the immediate attraction and full harmony which otherwise characterize the house, although each fragrance had its enthusiasts. Bois d'Arménie, by Annick Ménardo, joined the collection in 2006 and was the first to receive widespread acclaim. One reason for this was that it paid tribute to incense, or more precisely Papier d'Arménie, little strips of blotting paper for burning, impregnated with benzoin resin, which has been produced in France since 1885 and used for its calmly vanilla-smelling smoke.
Bois d'Arménie had that balsamic, nostalgic incense scent of the ancient Orient that made Guerlain lovers associate it with prewar classics. Except that it didn't exercise the classic Guerlain drydown transformation (which is true for all the L'Art & la Matière fragrances), consisting almost solely of base notes: smoky and slightly dry guaiac wood, frankincense, orris, sweet benzoin, and dusty patchouli — the only notes that gave lift were pink pepper and coriander. Instead, it was a panoramic take on the incense theme, gracefully crafted with exceptional softness and transparency, and a shade of coldness. Its patchouli, benzoin and orris were high-grade, adding the particular background effect that whispers "Guerlain..."
The bottle for the L'Art & la Matière line is an oblong slender block of glass, decorated on one end with a golden metal strip with the perfume's name imprinted on it, as if it were the spine of an old leather-bound book.
We love: the cool nakedness
A soft balsam
A woody coolness
Back to contemporaries
Back to perfumes

ARNOLD, MO. (KTVI) - Two guests at a Value Place Extended Stay hotel in Arnold overdosed on heroin Friday, according to the Arnold Police Department.
The guests survived after first responders administered care.
"That couple was blessed to be alive," Value Place Guest Christy Marquis said. "I knew drugs were prevalent, but I did not know they were prevalent here."
The hotel has a checkered past. It includes multiple complaints of guests using drugs. In 2011, the Arnold Police Department was hired to provide security at the hotel.
The Rock Community Fire District responded to the call. Its firefighters are also trained paramedics.
"These folks need medication to reverse the impact of an overdose," Rock Community Fire Protection District Public Information Officer Ron Harder said.
Hotel officials told FOX 2 that they "value" the safety of their guests and did their "best to handle the situation."
"The staff here does a good job and even with all this I feel safe," Marquis said.

Possibly They Are Meant To Participate The Charm Accentuating The Fact Venice Is Old
Doge's Palace: A guided tour of the palace goes to the part where in fact the administration would work. Within the premises, there is the Casanova's jail. Also worth seeing may be the spectacular five-hundred year old roof structure.
One one of the most gorgeous cities on voyage venise earth, Venice is said to be the adored destination of lovebirds from all throughout the world. Do some investigating online to get coupons and discounts; you may also book tours on the web, so it's not necessary to wait in line once you make it.
Built-in the mid 14th century, the facade was done between 1460 and 1464. As you wander, there is the anticipation of what you are going to find next. The name Venice might be synonymous with beauty because wherever we went the buildings were beautiful, each one of these seeming to surpass the last one.
Clock Tower: This might perhaps not sound very exciting, however you will change your brain once you have been guided up the narrow stairs to the the surface of the tower. It is possible to stop and consider the clock's mechanism on the road up.
Murano Glass - Murano is really a town near Venice that has been fabled for its glassware and glass art. Today, the majority of the glass makers of Murano have moved into Venice and so are proven to create dazzling, intricate and colourful glass art pieces, jewellery as well as glass utensils.
Scuola grande di San Rocco: This guild house is really a masterpiece of Tintoretto and represents Manierist art in its most readily useful. Ceiling mirrors provide a detailed view of the masterpiece.
The very best samples of Venice's architecture will be the Palazzo Ducale and the San Marco Basilica, although there are lots of more buildings that'll truly interest anybody enthusiastic about architecture.
Head to St Mark's Square either early each morning, prior to the day-trippers arrive, or through the night, once they have gone. At night, the lights and the music put in a new ambience to the enchanting place.
Venice Carnival - This carnival of events occurs through the month of February and draws tourists from all around the globe to Venice. They likewise have jewellery, a lot of it created from the Venetian glass, along with other art.
The Canals and Gondolas - The town of Venice is among the most romantic destinations in Italy and is known because of its network of canals and its own gondolas. Get voyage venise here 301redirect.me/voyage-venise-france.
Ms. Behnish has received numerous articles published in magazines and newspapers in both Canada and america on travel, family issues and brain injuries.
Masks were and therefore are a central feature of the Venetian Carnevale. People wore them for a large the main year, can you genuinely believe that at one point in Venetian history mask wearing was paid off to 90 days annually?
Miles from the impression of a metropolitan city struck with traffic jam and chaotic setting, Venice trails are as clear as a remote village in oriental Asia. This elegant getaway is in history favorite for beauty-loving expeditors or camera-clad beings of the world.
I really hope you will discover these travel tips helpful, because the town of Venice may be hopelessly romantic; it isn't only for couples, even while a solo traveller there is still plenty to accomplish and see so you shouldn't be deterred when travelling alone.
He teaches classes in computers at an Ontario French-language community college. To check out me. I'm going to be the guy in those plastic giveaway glasses from American 1950s 3-D movies.
Back again to Carnevale. The initial record of Venetian Carnevale was in 1296 when the local Senate decreed your day before Lent to become a public holiday. Celebrations in the start included slaughtering of pigs and oxen and mass brawls, which is why bridges appeared to be a favored location.
A few of the most famous hotels in Venice are respectively Hotel Giorgione, Ca' Gottardi, Historic palazzo, Hotel Al Vagon, Hotel Ambra, Hotel Al Ponte Mocenigo, Hotel Mignon, Hotel Gabrielli, Hotel Torino, Venice Hotels, Hotel San Giorgio and so on.
The town is just a sanctuary on a lagoon and is virtually just like it absolutely was about 600 years ago, which only contributes to its charm. Venice has much to supply when it comes to magnificent churches and palaces, lively squares, and world-famous shopping opportunities.
Burano Island: Often a little quieter with much less many tourists, this can be a great island to stroll along and go through the glowingly coloured buildings. Grand Canal: It's this that makes Venice so popular; tour the Grand Canal as you watch the palaces, sidewalk cafes along with other interesting sights.

Writing at the height of her narrative and imaginative gifts, Sue Monk Kidd presents a masterpiece of hope, daring, the quest for freedom, and the desire to have a voice in the world - and it is now the newest Oprah's Book Club 2.0 selection. Hetty "Handful" Grimke, an urban slave in early nineteenth century Charleston, yearns for life beyond the suffocating walls that enclose her within the wealthy Grimke household. The Grimke's daughter, Sarah, has known from an early age she is meant to do something large in the world, but she is hemmed in by the limits imposed on women.
"Historical Fiction - beautifully quilted!"
In 2005, Dan Bucatinsky and his partner, Don Roos, found themselves in an L.A. delivery room, decked out in disposable scrubs from shower cap to booties, to welcome their adopted baby girl - launching their frantic yet memorable adventures into fatherhood. Two and a half years later, the same birth mother - a heroically generous, pack-a-day teen with a passion for Bridezilla marathons and Mountain Dew - delivered a son into the couple's arms.
"Funny and Heartwarming"
From the former secretary of defense, a strikingly candid, vivid account of serving Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. When Robert M. Gates received a call from the White House, he thought he'd long left Washington politics behind: After working for six presidents in both the CIA and the National Security Council, he was happily serving as president of Texas A&M University. But when he was asked to help a nation mired in two wars and to aid the troops doing the fighting, he answered what he felt was the call of duty.
"Clear and evenhanded"
When Evan Trueblood blows into town looking for his wife, Molly, he's convinced that she came to see her best friend, Jane. But it seems like the witch made it to New Orleans and then disappeared without a trace. Jane is ready to do whatever it takes to find her friend. Her desperate search leads her deep into a web of black magic and betrayal and into the dark history between vampires and witches. But the closer she draws to Molly, the closer she draws to a new enemy - one who is stranger and more powerful than any she has ever faced.
The last thing Boston Detective D. D. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark.

"one of the best erotic romance trilogy EVER!"

Todays Beauty post is to Promote and introduce to you the product Evian Mineral Water Facial Spray!
Its purpose is to Moisturize, Refresh, and Tone.
Prior to receiving this sample I have bought the mini size of this before when I was on vacation in Las Vegas. It really is great to use as a moisturizer for your skin– especially when you are in dry weather.
❣✚ ✪✣✤✥ ✦❉❥❦ ❧❃❂❁❀❣✚ ✪
Evian Facial Spray is available in 3-4 sizes depending on the retailer. The 1.7 oz. (50ml) travel-size has a suggested retail of $7.00 and is perfect for the purse or small bag. Most stores do not carry this individual size preferring instead to carry a three-pack (Trio) of travel-sizes that typically retails for $19.50. Then there is the 5 oz. (150ml) size, great for gym bag or tote, that has a suggested retail of $12.00 and finally, there is the economy/professional 10 oz. (300ml) size for the home that retails for $17.50. All of these prices will be slightly raised on February 1, 2015.
Evian Facial Spray is easily assimilated into any skincare and makeup regime and actually helps improve the performance of any skin care or cosmetic products used with it. Morning and evening, Evian is applied in a soaking spray following a cleansing routine in order to remove traces of tap water and cleanser while also toning and hydrating. After allowing the unique mineral balance and water to be absorbed for a few moments, the excess is patted dry and then followed by a moisturizer to seal in the Evian hydration. This leaves skin looking healthy and feeling refreshed.
Makeup Routine:
In addition to skin care, Evian Facial Spray is also an asset to any makeup routine. After applying makeup, hold the canister 9-12 inches from the face, and lightly mist in a circular motion right over makeup. This helps makeup blend with the skin to give it a more natural look while bringing out more color. This can be done several times during the day to refresh makeup and hydrate the skin without messing up makeup. A favorite trick among makeup artists, our product can be used to lightly moisten makeup brushes for more precise application and blending. It can also be used to dilute makeup.
I personally have been using mine in two ways!
Way 1) My No Makeup Days- During the day when I wear no makeup I use this product to keep my face refreshed through out the day.
It feels so nice when you get that cool misty spritz of water to freshen up your skin!
Way 2) As a Makeup Setter- Just as the tip says in the tips above this photo
" After applying makeup, hold the canister 9-12 inches from the face, and lightly mist in a circular motion right over makeup.
This helps makeup blend with the skin to give it a more natural look while bringing out more color."

I personally recommend this product! Let me know in the comments if you have ever tried it before!

Any classic rocker worth his salt has at least one "lost" recording circulating among his die-hard fans.

Widely bootlegged but only now officially available, Live is that rare "lost" album that deserves being sought out.

By Michelle Ealey
I have been overweight since I was a kid. During elementary school, I was the target of a lot of teasing and bullying. Other kids would tell me they didn't want to play with me. Even my sixth grade teacher made snide comments about my weight. Starting in first grade, I was called names like The Pillsbury Dough Girl and laughed at whenever possible. My attendance suffered because school was the last place I wanted to be.
The torment didn't stop in middle school. Seventh grade was more of the same except there were more people to make fun of me. I dealt with the issue the same way I had from first to sixth grade -- I cried in private and stayed home a lot.
However, in eighth grade something inside me changed. The teasing and bullying bothered me, but I did more than cry; I started to get angry. My grandfather died while I was in seventh grade, and he was more of a father to me than my own. I missed him. Perhaps my grief transformed my anguish into anger.
Most of the teasing came from a core group of three boys. These boys would torment me daily by shouting insults, singing songs they made up about my weight, and throwing paper at me. I had friends, but nothing they said would make the pain go away.
Adding to my misery was my math teacher. He ignored me, made comments, and graded me differently. I know about the grading because I compared exams with other students; we would have missed the same amount of questions, but I would get a C while the other student got a C+.
The most irritating moment with him was when he hit me in the back with a ruler during class. He hit me while he was talking; I think the ruler slipped out his hand, but the strike hurt as did not getting an apology right after it happened. I went to the Dean. The Dean didn't call my mom. I got ushered into a room, and the Dean and my math teacher told me the incident wasn't serious, I had nothing to complain about, and I should keep the matter to myself. My math teacher did apologize, but I felt so small and worthless after the meeting.
One day while standing in the lunch line, the boys who enjoyed tormenting me were behind me. A few boys separated us. They liked to encourage others to tease me as well. They convinced one to pinch my ass. They expected me to do nothing. They were wrong.
I quickly turned and hit the pincher in the chest. My strike knocked the boy back, and I heard from the others that he ended up in the nurse's office. I didn't get in trouble because no boy wanted to admit he gotten beaten up by the fat girl. The boys left me alone for the rest of the week, but they resumed the teasing and bullying the next week. The short reprieve planted an idea in my mind; if a punch brought me peace for a few days, then a more violent action would possibly end my anguish once and for all.
I hadn't shot a gun before, but my grandfather showed me the basics. I grew up in the country. My grandfather hunted, and I was expected to learn from him how to shoot. He died before he could teach me, but I understood how guns worked: load, aim, and pull the trigger.
Out of all of the components to my plan, getting a gun was the easiest part. I knew where the key was to my grandfather's gun cabinet, and my father left his gun out. The ammo was stored apart from the guns, but I knew where the ammo was.
My main issue was getting the gun to school. I knew if anyone saw the gun before I could act the gun would be taken away, ruining my plan. I finally figured out how to get the gun to school undetected, a method I was 90% sure would work. I don't want to be accused of putting ideas in young minds, so I will not reveal the details. I remember feeling proud that I had solved this problem. The pieces had come together. All I had to do was decide when to put my plan into motion.
I know now that what I was planning was wrong, but then I thought I was right. My mother was encouraging me to stand up for myself. When I told her about hitting the boy, she approved because she viewed it as a defensive act.
My grandmother had taught me that if I'm being attacked, I need to shoot first and ask questions later. My grandparents had a "shoot trespassers on sight" policy, a policy they taught me at an early age. If I didn't have a gun, my mother taught me how to kick, punch, and scratch my attacker; I learned from my mother two things about fighting: how to avoid a fight and how to take out the other person my any means necessary.
I wasn't worried about going to prison. This was the late 1980s, and trying minors as adults wasn't common. A few years in juvenile detention didn't sound bad to me at the time. I understand this sounds contradictory, shooting people to make my life easier at school but knowing I could be locked up for it, but I didn't care. I was a confused mess; I was angry, and I wanted people to pay.
My plan was to convince people my victims deserved what I did to them. If I failed to be convincing, then I understood I would go away. I had heard that juvenile records were sealed and couldn't be used against you as an adult. The possibility of being able to start fresh as adult appealed to me.
Those that wronged me would be dead; I could finish school, and then enter adulthood without worries. This is what I believed at that time.
I wasn't under the influence of any media. Nintendo was still a new thing, cable wasn't in almost every home, and the Internet wasn't around. I was angry, hurt, and frustrated, and I felt I was running out of options. It was easier for me to get my hands on a gun than it was to get help from any adult at school.
Internalizing my pain was what I had been doing, and I thought taking action by hurting others was the answer, but I didn't go through with it. I don't know what stopped me. I had access to guns, I had a list of my victims, and I had a plan. Maybe disappointing and upsetting my mother was a factor, but I really don't know. I ended up staying stuck in the cycle of internalizing my pain and attempting suicide to deal with life.
I really wish I knew what stopped me. If I knew I would tell everyone so no one thinks picking up a gun and shooting people is the answer.
The force that prevented me from taking a gun and shooting people may be unknown to me, but I'm glad it stopped me because it saved the lives of a math teacher and three boys.

The investigation into last month's attack on U.S. immigration officials appears to be moving at a breakneck pace, in contrast to most inquiries in Mexico's drug war.
Federal investigators arrested three people in Lancaster, Texas Monday, after tracing the gun used in the attack to a suspected gun smuggling ring in the Dallas suburb, the AP reports.
In Mexico, the navy announced the capture of Sergio Antonio "El Toto" Mora, Los Zetas' regional boss in San Luis Potosi state, where the ICE attack took place. Mexican officials admitted they don't know if Mora was involved in the attack, but said he was the boss of Julian Zapata Espinoza, the Zeta hit man who was arrested last week and allegedly confessed to the shooting.
U.S. officials have expressed doubts about whether those arrested in Mexico so far were actually involved in the attack. A nationwide crackdown on cartel cells in the U.S. last week was partly an effort to gather intelligence on who might have ordered the attack, The McAllen Monitor reports.
Zapata's death has strained relations between the U.S. and Mexico, calling into question the countries' joint strategy to combat drug trafficking. Several U.S. lawmakers have called for Mexico to change its policy that prohibits U.S. agents from carrying weapons south of the border.
Mexican president Felipe Calderon will visit Washington Thursday to try and smooth over tensions with the Obama administration.

Mistrust at the centre of Turkey's Kurdish strife
These were well-planned attacks, carried out simultaneously a little after midnight, on military and police posts close to the border with Iraq.
About 100 fighters from the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) took part, some crossing the border from Iraq, some moving from inside Turkey.
The toll - of 24 dead and 18 injured - is the largest suffered by the Turkish security forces since 1993.
The response by the Turkish military has been a predictable one: more raids by jets and helicopters on targets inside Iraq, with ground forces moving around 8km (five miles) across the Iraqi border.
The military says it killed 15 of the PKK insurgents; it claims to have killed as many as 160 in air raids carried out since July.
Failed peace initiative
The PKK has proved before that it is capable of such an attack, and of inflicting heavy losses.
In June last year, it carried out a very similar night-time raid, using large numbers of fighters, and killed 13 soldiers stationed at a remote outpost along the border.
The government vowed then that the soldiers would be better protected, and questions were posed about the suitability of a young, conscript army for tackling an entrenched insurgency.
If lessons were learned, they do not appear to have helped those battling the PKK in the latest attacks.
Bigger questions hang over why the PKK has escalated its operations against the military over the past four months, and why the Turkish government, which repeatedly says it wants to pursue reconciliation, has been unable to stop the harsh treatment of Kurdish nationalist figures by the judiciary.
Time and again, apparent windows for peace have been shut down abruptly.
In October 2009, following Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's unprecedented offer of a new beginning for relations between Turkey's largest minority and the state, 34 Kurdish activists, including eight PKK fighters, crossed the border from Iraq, and turned themselves over to the Turkish authorities.
It was presented as a gesture, a test of the government's intentions. The activists were allowed to go free, instead of being prosecuted.
But then it all went wrong.
A jubilant welcome for the activists by tens of thousands of Kurds, waving PKK symbols, provoked a strong nationalist reaction in a Turkish public conditioned to think of the PKK only as an evil, terrorist organisation.
The government had rushed into a badly thought-out peace initiative, without preparing the Turkish people for it.
Vacuum filled
By the end of 2009, the main Kurdish party had been banned - for the seventh time - by the constitutional court, and dozens of Kurdish community leaders were being prosecuted under the draconian, catch-all anti-terror laws.
One Kurdish editor was sentenced to 166 years in prison, merely for the pro-PKK sentiments published in his newspaper.
It was a similar situation after the general election in June this year, in which Kurdish candidates did well.
This opened the possibility of Kurds pressing their demands through parliament, and working with the government on a new constitution - one of their central demands.
But a court decision to strip one Kurdish MP of his seat, and give it to the ruling AK party, poisoned the atmosphere.
Kurdish MPs boycotted parliament, and announced what they called their own "democratic autonomy" initiative, taking greater control of local government.
There has never been a constructive dialogue between the AK, Turkey's most successful democratic party, and Kurdish leaders.
They just seem to talk, or shout, past each other, even though both have acknowledged that the use of military force by both sides has brought about nothing but hatred and the loss of more than 40,000 lives.
This despite the fact that the AK is the first party to attempt to address the grievances of the Kurds, and has managed to ease some of the restrictions on Kurdish expressions of identity.
The terrible atrocities committed against Kurdish communities in the 1990s have left a searing anger towards the Turkish state, compounded by the poverty, unemployment and ill-treatment that blight the Kurdish south-east.
But such is the engrained hostility of millions of Turks towards the Kurdish nationalist movement, that any attempt to negotiate with it could cost a government significant numbers of votes.
The lack of leadership on the Kurdish issue has left a vacuum, now filled by the armed hardliners of the PKK.
It is hard to interpret its decision to increase its attacks on the army and police as anything else but an attempt to sabotage any future peace initiative, should it ever get off the ground.
In the current, bitter climate of mutual recriminations, that is unlikely to happen.

On July 16th, 2012 the world lost a great thinker. One of the world's best-selling authors, his The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is widely regarded as one of the most influential books ever written. It established him (at the age of 56) as one of the leading thinkers of our time. In the book he challenges us to go beyond what he called 'personality ethics' and live our lives according to 'character ethics'. His 7 Habits presented the core principles behind his thinking.
Taking responsibility
At the heart of what he proposes is a system to enable us to better adapt to change and take advantage of the opportunities that changes in our lives often bring. A central theme is that we are largely responsible for what we create in our lives and by taking responsibility for who we are and how we relate to others we can profoundly influence the direction our lives take.
A deep well
I've always been impressed with Covey's ability to synthesize and present these core principles because they are so closely aligned with the core principles of something else we're passionate about: NLP. For his Doctoral thesis Covey apparently studied over 150 years of the American self-help movement. The 7 Habits would appear to represent his core learnings from that Doctoral thesis. NLP draws on this same deep well of knowledge and wisdom and through its emphasis on modeling excellence translates many of these principles into tools and skills so we can actually experience the "difference that makes the difference" in our daily lives. Therefore, NLP and The 7 Habits complement each other.
Being the change…
What I personally admired about Covey was his modesty about what he had set out in his challenge. Unlike other authors who often claim to be greater than thou and in private rarely live up to what they postulate, Covey himself strove to live these 7 Habits. He also advocated that true learning is achieved through doing. I have met many leaders who claim to have read the 7 Habits and it's clear that it was wasted on them as their actions rarely demonstrate that they've truly tested them out and embodied them in their own lives.
I've met others who dismiss Covey's work because they're so caught up in their heads that they lack the Emotional Intelligence to appreciate and genuinely try on his principles and notice the improved results they can attain. This is because cognitive awareness is rarely enough to learn something. It's only by practicing a skill that you can get it into the muscle so it becomes a habit.
Words of wisdom
I'll leave you to ponder these words of Wisdom taken from the Foreword of the 15th Anniversary edition of the book:
"As you now commence reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I also promise you an exciting learning adventure. Share with your loved ones what you are learning. And most important, start applying what you are learning. Remember, to learn and not to do is really not to learn. To know and not to do is really not to know.
I have personally found living the 7 Habits a constant struggle – primarily because the better you get, the very nature of the challenge changes, just like skiing, playing golf, tennis, or any sport does. Because I sincerely work and struggle every day at living these principle-embodied habits, I warmly join you in this adventure." ~ Stephen R Covey
May he Rest in Peace…

Is this a computer game; Total War?
Posted 04 June 2015 - 04:27 PM
Is it public knowledge that dwarfs have been confirmed as one of the four playable races? I hadn't been keeping up with the news until I read that today. Given that elves or chaos haven't been named yet, that's quite an honour! Furthermore it bodes well for dwarfs not being a 'merged' book with empire in 9th edition as one of the rumours goes. It's hardly solid evidence of this but I was expecting the empire as a playable faction in TW:W with dwarf units. I'm glad to discover otherwise!

The Dwarfs have been confirmed as a playable faction
The 4 which will come in the release are Empire, Dwarfs, Orcs and Goblins, and Vampire counts
I have a feeling that the first game will set in the Storm of Chaos.
Posted 04 June 2015 - 06:27 PM
The preview of the game that was released was the Battle of Blackfire pass. We've already seen Manfred representing the VC and I read that Grimgor Ironhide will be lumbering between hordes of orcs on the battlefield. I think that regardless of our fears for 9th, this game will represent everything (and everybody) we love in 8th.

I have to admit, I got a very childish grin on my face and chuckled a bit at a picture- because I just know that giant is going to stuff the halberdier down his pants.
Posted 05 June 2015 - 05:42 AM
super stoked about these pictures, some things i've noticed: picture one has a steam tank, picture 2 has gobbo shaman on the ground, and there's a picture not on this page that has flying gobbos! they also have released a lot more info about the game itself. there will be campaigns where you can upgrade your legendary characters by the choices you make, different styles of economies and politics for the different races, and magic will have some places where its really strong on the map other spots weak, and then before each battle basically the winds of magic will be rolled for, making it random and so one cannot rely on magic for conquest ( who would trust magic but an elgi lover! )
Posted 05 June 2015 - 07:47 PM
I like the fact that they seem to use the troll vomit and the grobi doomdivers.
I wonder how they will balance it out though.
Hope our strongholds will look as good as in the pictures.
