The Times of Israel reports: New England Patriots owner and prominent Jewish philanthropist Robert Kraft (pictured) has donated $6 million for the construction of a new, multi-purpose sports facility in Jerusalem, the city's municipality announced in a statement Tuesday.
The donation, designed to beef up sports in the Israeli capital, was pledged as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem and the 20th anniversary of Maccabiah Games, which will be hosted in the city next year.
The Kraft Family Sports Campus is being built in the Arazim Valley on the Western outskirts of Jerusalem, and is scheduled to open in the summer of 2017.
"The Kraft Family Sports Campus is a central part of my vision for Jerusalem as an international capital of sport and athleticism," Mayor Nir Barkat said. "My dear friend, Robert Kraft, has been an unwavering partner in the growth and development of Jerusalem."

Healthcare Financial Relationships Are Public
- In CMS
- October 2, 2014
- No Comments
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) launched the Open Payments website as a provision of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, September 30. Open Payments is a federally run program that collects the information about financial relationships with physicians and hospitals, and makes it available to you.
According to the Open Payments website, "These relationships can include money for research activities, gifts, speaking fees, meals, or travel." It's goal is to increase payment transparency for research through its database. The records are organized into three categories:
- General payments
- Research payments
- Physician ownership and investments
According to the data from August 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013, manufacturers made 4.4 million payments to 546,000 physicians and 1,360 teaching hospitals. CMS withheld about a third of the data for the launch due to inaccuracy of some payment records.

A Completed I-69: A Gift To Your Great-Grandkids
(Photo credit: RTV6, theindychannel.com)
Hey, good news Indy to Martinsville travelers! You know that tiny little boondoggle we call I-69? We're almost ready to build the final leg! Here's what's coming:
- 26 miles of brand, spankin' new interstate.
- 10 access points, just from Indy to Martinsville.
- 14 traffic signals retired.
- And maybe best yet, 11 minutes will be cut-off your travel time (not adjusted for current S.R. 37 traffic, which is soul crushing).
Check it out, courtesy of the Indiana Department of Transportation, or INDOT:
Here's the skinny. Recently, the Tier 2 Final Environmental Impact Statement was released in full. The FEIS - as the cool kids call it - not only maps the final leg of the project, but also details bridge and overpass replacement while noting how the construction could imact your neighborhood and the environment as a whole. If you have time for some light toilet reading (it's 1,700 pages), click here.
Curious to know where I-69 will eventually hookup with I-465? In sophisticated traffic terms, it's pretty cool:
I-69 will access I-465 between Harding St./S.R. 37 and Mann Rd. Interestingly enough, part of S.R. 37 will be knocked out at Epler Ave. and eventually duck under I-69. Here's a link to all of the maps from Martinsville to Indy.
According to INDOT, construction is set to begin during fiscal year 2020 in Martinsville, specifically S.R. 39 to Morgan Ave. Right now, we're in the predevelopment phase, which means:
- Offers to affected property owners will begin sometime this month.
- Plans to facilitate traffic have already begun
- Once those are complete, INDOT will be able to time the different phases of construction in the Martinsville corridor.
- Moving utilities and clearing trees could begin as early as next year.
There will be a thousand updates between now and 2020, and you who'll have 'em - THIS GUY. I'll sort 'em out and give you the needed stuff. I'm lucky to have the opportunity to help.
Two things we want to know most: When is it done? What is the cost?
Total cost for section six is $1.5 billion dollars, as detailed by this table:
The whole thing should be finished by 2027. Great!
Wait, huh?
Come on! It's not like I was thinking by the end of the summer, but again - COME ON!
Here's what Indy/Indiana will also look like in 2027:
- We'll have a new north split.
- Indy will be void of cars, just buses of the high speed variety.
- Amazon's headquarters will be operating successfully in downtown Indianapolis, where Circle Centre Mall used to be.
- All escalators at the new headquarters will be fully functional.
- The Maryland St. entrance to the headquarters won't be smashed in.
- Employees at the new Amazon headquarters will not be dropping over from hypothermia.
- Johnny Rockets will have opened at the new Amazon Headquarters.
- Hillary Clinton is enjoying life as a middle man for a high level hashish dealer in Sao Paulo, Brazil - a country that has no extradition treaty with the United States.
- Kim Yo-Jong will have successfully defected to the U.S. Her reality show "Things that Make You Go Un" is a huge hit as a Netflix original.
- President Trump will be in a dogfight of a reelection campaign. First lady Jared Kushner makes frequent campaign stops in Indiana.
- Governor Bosma.
- After undergoing off-season shoulder surgery in 2026, the Colts fan base will be energized by news that Andrew Luck is planning to throw a football.
Oh wait, that's right! What about the I-69 phase currently in construction, or Bloomington to Martinsville? Man, there sure were plenty of delays. If the public-private partnership that was tasked to complete the stretch hadn't gone kaput, you'd probably be at Assembly Hall in half the time. As I understand it, plenty of elbow room this season!
The new completion date is August 2018. Let's make it glorious.
I guess the silver lining is that the hellish stretch of S.R. 37 from Bloomington to Martinsville is a hockey season away from being a breezy interstate drive, but it's going to take nine years to build the big damn road from Martinsville to Indy. I guess it's taking the good with the bad, like when you run out of french fries - just eat the ketchup.
Please be safe, it's still pothole season. Ugh.
Matt Bair can't think of a single tasteless joke about I-69. He's the new voice of Indianapolis traffic, and can be followed on Twitter @WIBCTraffic. Tips? Call direct at (317) 684-8134 or the 93 WIBC Newsroom at (317) 637-6397.

Chiropractic Adjustments
What's a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments are at the foundation of what chiropractors do. Although all chiropractors are different, for the most part they're all going to treat using adjustments. They are a form of joint manipulation, a technique used primarily by chiropractic physicians that is becoming increasing more popular because of its non-invasive nature, lower cost, and effectiveness.
Chiropractic adjustments are high velocity, low amplitude thrusts to a joint in order to improve lost joint mobility, correct misalignment of the joint, and correct joint dysfunction. Not only are chiropractic adjustments safe, they're effective. Recent research showed strong evidence that spinal manipulation is just as effective as medical care and exercise for back pain. (1)
Chiropractic manipulation has been shown time and time again through research to be extremely safe for a variety of conditions. When compared to over the counter medications, prescription drugs, surgery, shots, or other medical interventions chiropractic adjustments carry significantly less risks and have no significant long lasting side effects. In a quickly changing healthcare environment, physicians are increasingly advising patients to choose conservative care methods such as chiropractic first.
Different Types of Adjustments we Offer:
At AccessHealth Chiropractic Center we primarily utilize manual chiropractic adjustments and joint manipulation techniques. Manual (or diversified) chiropractic adjustments are the most researched method and also the most effective at mobilizing joints, reducing pain, and correcting structural problems. They are also the most widely used form of chiropractic adjustment, and taught at every chiropractic school in the United States.
Although we prefer to perform manual chiropractic adjustments some patients prefer a different technique, or their conditions don't allow for manual adjustments. For these patients we also offer gentler manipulation techniques such as instrument adjusting (Activator), drop piece adjusting (Thompson Technique), and flexion-distraction (Cox Technique) to accommodate. If you're not a candidate for chiropractic treatment or if we don't think your condition is going to respond well to chiropractic care, we always make a proper referral to a medical professional or other professional to address your complaint.

Great Moments in NBA League Pass
You may have noticed that during Lakers playoff games, Jack Nicholson sits courtside and often does interviews with the telecasters.
During regular season games against the Timberwolves, that role is apparently taken over by George Lopez.
George actually made a funny remark about trying to find a white guy to caddy for him at the golf club, or something.
I hope that "Great Moments in NBA League Pass" becomes a regular feature here on the Lemur.

- Last year, 24 million people didn't switch provider for any of the most common financial products or services (including car and home insurance, energy, broadband, mobile phone);
- Car insurance and energy were the products people were most likely to shop around for.
Failure to switch financial products means that millions of people could each be losing out on £100s of savings. New research reveals that in 2015 almost half (49%) of Brits (that's 24 million people) didn't switch any of the 10 most common financial products and services – potentially missing out on significant savings across a range of insurance, banking and household utility bills.
Car insurance topped the list of products switched in 2015, with just under a fifth (19%) of those surveyed switching to a better deal. The survey, commissioned by Gocompare.com, also found that energy (17%) and home insurance (16%) were among the top products switched last year, while very few people (2%) changed their mortgage.
Financial and household utility products switched in 2015
Car insurance
Energy provider
Home insurance
Mobile phone
Broadband provider
Landline telephone
ISA or savings account
Credit card
Bank account (current account)
The survey revealed that, on average, people have stayed with the same car insurer for 2.4 years; home insurer for 2.7 years and the same energy supplier for 3.2 years.
Commenting on the research, Ben Wilson from Gocompare.com said, "If you're looking for savings in 2016, switching providers for everyday financial services products and household utilities can be an easy way to slice hundreds of pounds off your outgoings.
"The market for insurance, banking products and energy is highly competitive and there are some attractive deals to be had. However, these offers are frequently used to attract new customers rather than reward loyal ones. So it's important to regularly review your finances to make sure that you're not paying over the odds as an existing customer.
"Last year saw an increase in car insurance premiums and this upward trend is expected to continue into 2016, but different insurers price their products differently so there are potentially still savings to be made. Motor and home insurance customers will also see an increase in their renewal premiums as a result of last November's increase in Insurance Premium Tax – from 6% to 9.5%. The tax, paid as a percentage of the premium, will hit those paying higher premiums hardest. Therefore, we recommend that people shop-around and compare quotes from lots of different providers when their policies come up for renewal."
Ben Wilson continued: "Another common mistake people make with a range of outgoings – including energy tariffs and credit cards – is signing up to a product with an attractive introductory rate and then not reviewing the arrangement before the end of the offer period. For example, when a fixed energy tariff expires, customers are automatically transferred to their suppliers' standard variable tariffs, which is typically more expensive than the fixed deal.
"Households who compare prices and switch regularly can make some significant savings. For instance, by using Gocompare.com they could save up to £209 on their car insurance** and £292 on their energy bills***."
1. Diary dates: In order to give yourself time to review your financial arrangements diary key dates including car and home insurance renewals, the expiry dates for fixed rate mortgage deals, fixed energy tariffs and introductory offers;
2. Don't accept insurance renewal quotes or energy tariff changes without first checking that the new price you are being offered is competitive;
3. Compare prices and headline rates AND check the small print of the deal you are being offered. Make sure that you are making like-for-like comparisons and understand all the charges, any penalties, exclusions and terms and conditions you will be required to meet, and that the product is right for you;
4. Use a comparison website – they provide quick and up-to-date information on a wide range of financial products and services.

*24 million based on the UK Adult population (20+) estimated to be 48,913,000 (Source: Annual mid-year population estimates for the UK, 2014). 49% of people have not switched providers for the financial products and services. 49% of 48,913,000 is 23,967,370.

Below, you can read selected media stories showcasing Oakland Public Library programs and staff. To view an archive of press releases from the library, click here.

Teaming up with the California State Library, Facebook's Oculus said Wednesday it hopes to bridge the digital divide by donating 100 sets of Rift headsets, touch controllers and computers to 90 libraries throughout California as part of a new pilot program.
Participating libraries include those in San Jose, Berkeley, Oakland, Sunnyvale, Campbell and other locations in the Bay Area.

The city's library is finding new ways to connect to residents, adding bicycle bookmobiles that staffers pedal to community festivals and hand out free books, while also documenting people's recollections of a neighborhood quickly changing.
Librarians and supporters rolled out two new bicycle-powered bookmobiles Saturday at the Main Library on 14th Street for a ride down Grand Avenue along Lake Merritt to the Lakeview Branch.

At Oakland (Calif.) Public Library (OPL), Nina Lindsay, children's services coordinator and president-elect of the Association for Library Service to Children, manages youth programming across 17 libraries. Lately, her staff members have fielded an unprecedented number of worries from their patrons: Is my family going to be separated? Am I going to be deported? Is Dad ever going to be able to join us?
About a year ago, OPL librarians hung a poster by local artist Micah Bazant of a headscarf-clad woman with the words "Everyone Is Welcome Here." Bazant designed the poster after OPL librarian Amy Sonnie informed the artist that local literacy class students were routinely harassed on the street. The pair launched the poster in partnership with members of the Alliance of South Asians Taking Action, and Bazant now provides the poster free of charge for noncommercial use.
"We feel that the Library Bill of Rights is very clearly expressed through that statement—'Everyone is welcome here,'" says Lindsay. "It's important for us to make visible [those] communities who otherwise may feel marginalized."

Oakland Public Library (OPL) has creatively and innovatively made bike-friendly spaces for employees and patrons at their 18 locations. From community bike shop The Shed at the MLK Branch to kamishibai - children's storytelling on the back of a bike - to good old indoor bike parking, OPL supports what staff and community like, want, and need. Lots of employees bike to work, so lots of branches have ever-improving bike parking, pumps and locks, tools, and even shower facilities available.
OPL goes above and beyond to promote bicycling, by supporting librarians professionally sharing their passion for bikes. Additionally, OPL is building a network and a conversation about the role of libraries in public space and as sources of free information, and sends librarians to present and learn at non-library events, such as the California Bicycle Summit. Mana and Emily have been producing a series of webinars for other libraries to share approaches for being bike-friendly.

Libraries have always responded to what the community needs, says Winifred Walters, community relations specialist for the Oakland Public Library. For instance, she notes the popular tool lending library near the Temescal branch, which emerged as a response to the 1991 Oakland hills fire that destroyed thousands of homes.
"We got the idea that we could lend tools to people working on rebuilding their homes," she says. "But it's become a core service. There are lines out the door regularly."

If you live in Oakland and haven't filed your taxes yet, don't worry; in partnership with AARP, Oakland Public Library is offering free tax filing assistance at its Main, Eastmont, Golden Gate and Cesar Chavez branches.

How about toy fire trucks, dump trucks and recycling trucks, even? The Oakland Public Library has all those and more, available for check-out at a growing number of branches.
They are all part of the toy lending library, now in its second year with no end in sight. The library has exhausted the Pacific Library Partnership Innovations & Technology Grant provided in 2014 to establish one of only a very few public library toy programs in the country, but the program's success has led to its now being included in the library's collection budget.

Working with OPL administrators, Propernick and Burnette found grants to pay for tools and parts, including free helmets. Between 20 and 40 youths attend the clinics. More than 500 bikes have been repaired and 1,000 flats fixed, Turbak says. Burnette, who is also president of the Original Scraper Bike Team, a community-oriented group that works with kids 12–18 to repair, decorate, and customize their bicycles, joined the 81st Avenue Branch in December 2014.

Patrons and librarians at the Oakland Public Library's Dimond branch have given way to carpenters, painters and other workers while the building undergoes a face-lift.
The branch at 3565 Fruitvale Ave. closed for renovation in December and is scheduled to reopen around the end of May.
This marks the first refurbishing of the building since it opened 36 years ago. Funds for the $600,000 remodeling project have come from donations and foundation grants. Friends of the Dimond Library, a volunteer group that assists the branch, has raised $40,000 of the $50,000 needed to buy new furniture, said supervising librarian Mary Schrader.

Members of organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU); Speak Out Now, an East Bay revolutionary socialist group; the Oakland Public Library; Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), a national network organizing white people for racial justice; and Narika set up information tables to speak to attendees about registering as volunteers, signing petitions, or how to donate or get involved in local activism.

By Anuj Chopra
HUNCHED over platters of dates and Arabic coffee, Saudi women raring to drive once the royal decree on it becomes effective next June signed up for another revolution — to be the Kingdom's first female cab drivers.
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman last month decreed that women will be allowed driving permits, a historic reform that could put not just millions of women behind the wheel but potentially many more into the workforce.
Sensing a lucrative opportunity, ride-hailing company Careem says it plans to hire up to 100,000 female chauffers to lure new clients in the gender-segregated kingdom.
This week, the company invited AFP to its first recruitment session in the coastal city of Al-Khobar, which attracted a diverse crowd — from housewives to working women — who already have foreign driving licenses.
"For years I felt helpless. My car would be parked outside and I could not drive," said Nawal Al-Jabbar, a 50-year-old mother of three, sipping coffee from a thimble-sized cup.
A chorus of hoots and claps erupted in the auditorium as the women, who learned about the recruitment by word-of-mouth, watched news footage on a projector screen of last month's royal decree.
"It felt like we had woken up in a new Saudi Arabia," Jabbar said.
An instructor stood next to the screen, holding up a smartphone to show the inner workings of the app.
The firm plans to add a new "Captinah" button to the app next June that would allow customers to choose women chauffeurs. The option will only be available to other women and families, Careem spokesman Murtadha Alalawi said.
Around 30 women registered for the event in Al-Khobar.
Many arrived unaccompanied by men, something not commonly seen in a country where male "guardians" have arbitrary authority to make crucial decisions on behalf of women.
'Rite of passage'
"This is a rite of passage for women," said Sarah Algwaiz, director of the women chauffeurs program at Careem, referring to the reform.
"For women to drive their own cars signals autonomy, mobility and financial independence."
"Society portrays women to be strong when it's convenient and weak when it's convenient," said trainee Jabbar.
"I say if you can depend on a female doctor to deliver a baby, then you can depend on a woman to drive a car."
Becoming a chauffeur would mean "extra income", said Banain Al-Mustafa, a 24-year-old medical lab technician who obtained her license while she was studying in West Virginia in 2015.
"I drove for two-and-a-half years," she said, including once on her own in a nine-hour road trip from New York to West Virginia.
"If I can drive there, why not in my own country?"
Cultural backlash
The reform is in line with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 program that seeks to elevate women to nearly one-third of the workforce, up from about 22 percent now.
Authorities have highlighted the economic benefits of the reform as the Kingdom reels from a protracted oil slump; Saudi families would no longer need foreign chauffeurs, often a major source of financial strain.
Riyadh is moving to bring female driving instructors from abroad, local media reported, and Princess Nourah University said it will inaugurate a women's only driving school.
Careem's rival, Uber, is reportedly planning a similar initiative to recruit female drivers.
The new Careem recruits in Al-Khobar were seemingly unperturbed by pockets of resistance from men or sexist comments on social media over women driving.
"Look at how women's abayas have evolved — different styles and colors — despite strong resistance," Jabbar said, referring to the traditional black gown.
"After a while, even women drivers will become a new normal." — AFP

"This I Believe"
"I believe that everyone should find a way to express themselves." Like the way I express myself through art. In my art I express how I feel and what I like. Most of the time I just like to do it just for fun.
My brother however express himself through writting. He loves to write stories mostly about secret agents. I often wish that I could express myself through writing but I am not so good at telling stories as my brother. My brother can make the characters come to life and make them seem like real people. The places he can describe almost is as if they actaully exsited. He can do all of this with the things he loves to do and things that have actually happened in is life. But he can make them so twisted that you would believe it.
My sister much like my brother express herself through writing but instead of stories she writes peoms. Her peoms can express the things she likes and the way she thinks. Her peoms can really touch your heart. Her peoms can paint beuatiful pictures inside your mind. Many of her peoms are about love and heart break but she can really describe settings. In fact one of her peoms was published into the "New Anthology." I often tell her that she could become the next Shel Sliversten or Robert Frost if she kept it up.
Another good example is my other sister she too express herself through writing. But she writes songs instead. Her songs to express how she feels and thinks. She also adds some of the things see loves to do and things that she injoys to do. She puts a lot of thought in her songs. I think that this is a really good was the express herself because she loves to sing. I often wish that I could sing and write songs like she can. But we all can express ourselves through other ways and some of us can do the same but we cannot make them the same. Because we are all different and without difference life would be dull. Even though I wish I could write amazing stories like my brother or write songs and peoms like my sisters I am glad that I can do something different, like drawing. Because none of my sisters or my brothers can draw like me. So I think expressing yourself is a great way in showing your differences.

News story
Insolvency Practitioners' Complaints Gateway report
We have published the first report on the operation of the Insolvency Practitioners' Complaints Gateway.
Launched in June last year, the gateway provides a single point of entry for complaints about insolvency practitioners and allows the Insolvency Service to monitor the number and nature of complaints as well as their outcomes.
This first year has been encouraging, with 900 complaints received (almost 200 more than the previous year) and 98% of insolvency practitioners covered.
In launching the report, which has been welcomed by the insolvency profession, Insolvency Service Chief Executive Dr Richard Judge says:
The detail that we now see routinely is informing our understanding of the nature and number of complaints about insolvency practitioners. It also helps us better monitor the way in which complaints are dealt with by the regulatory professional bodies (RPBs). This improved insight is enabling us to tackle recurrent issues: for example, we identified a pattern of complaints about the time taken to close Individual Voluntary Agreements (IVAs) which led to a change in the way some RPBs approach this issue.
Welcoming the report, Graham Rumney, chief executive of insolvency trade body R3, says:
Initiatives, like the Complaints Gateway, that add transparency and accessibility to the insolvency regulatory process are welcome. The Gateway is a significant improvement on the process it replaces and we were pleased to see it introduced. It's particularly welcome that there is now hard evidence on the number and nature of complaints; it's encouraging that, out of the tens of thousands of cases handled by insolvency practitioners in the last year, there have been relatively so few complaints made.
The UK has a world class insolvency regime but it's not beyond improvement. We look forward to working with the Insolvency Service to further develop the Gateway and other initiatives that will help creditors and debtors get a fairer deal from insolvency.

I love your approach and a lot of the details. I guess my only immediate reservation would be the necessity for homework. A lot of U.S. kids simply can not do homework. They are homeless; have full-time jobs; are tending ailing grandparents or little brothers, etc.That is an important point, so I should clarify my views. Homework is not a matter of principle for me. It is a component in a comprehensive approach, and the same goals can be accomplished in other ways. In my teaching, it played a key role, because most work in class was collaborative, but almost all assessments were individual. As one of my colleagues put it: "We work in groups today in order to learn how to work alone tomorrow." The process was (more or less):
- Week 1: You learn a new concept in class, where you can get help from your peers and the teacher.
- Week 2: You apply the concept in short homework assignments. Those help you sort out what you understand from what you are still working on, which will make it easier for you to get exactly the help you need when going over the homework with your group.
If a student cannot do homework because of their home situation, the school should offer study hall time so that "homework" can be done at school. If the school cannot or will not do that, and many students are unable to do homework, then some class time can be allotted for that: time where you work on your own, after plenty of time working with peers, and prior to being quizzed. Of course, giving up class time for this will reduce coverage, but it may be a price worth paying.
However, I should say that I have heard from more than one teacher that homework completion increased dramatically once homework was lagged. It turned out that the reason many students weren't doing the homework was because they didn't know how to do it. Lagging gave them time to learn the concepts, and made homework possible. So before abolishing homework, I would try both lagging it, and offering in-school time for it. More students will learn more math than with no homework at all.
See below my signature for an excerpt from what I wrote in 2013 in response to someone who asked for my views on abolishing homework. Today's post is intended to complement what I wrote then — I still agree with it.
-- Henri
Most learning happens in class, and one should not overdo homework. Too much homework only antagonizes kids and in most cases, it does not help their learning.
On the other hand, a small amount of homework is a good thing:
- It is a form of differentiation, as it allows kids to take different amounts of time to do the same assignment. (The nature of what happens in class in a cooperative learning culture is that racing is discouraged, and kids work more or less at the same pace, with the faster students slowing down to help others.)
- It gets the message across that it takes work to learn anything substantial, and that while in class we work in groups, the ultimate goal is to understand the material well enough to deal with it on your own.
- It's a place to do the often necessary but often boring work of basic drill and review, thereby saving class time for more interesting and substantial engagement.

Spanish Pride vs. Spanish Wine
Stereotypes about Spanish are as lively and vivid as the multi-coloured landscape that paints the Iberian Peninsula. They are commonly exaggerations nevertheless somehow, in one way or another, they are true. Thus it is generally believed that Spaniards are someway impulsive, loud, vulnerable and very proud. They like fiestas and bull fights, do things with great relish and are very hospitable.
Talking about hospitality I can immediately refer to good examples of this generalization. The Spanish love long extended meals including a menu of three plates, wine and coffee. And the Spanish love to share this daily celebration with friends, family and with clients. Most of our clients and to become clients already know that time is what they will need most during their visit to Barcelona and to Montau de Sadurní. So be it, I can't say that I had a hard time getting used to this amusing habit. However I do have a hard time getting used to the descent of the HORECA sector.
There was a time when Spain's gastronomy did well and when proud Spaniards included their decent house wines into their simple though well done menus. Nostalgic Spaniards would remember the respectable and appreciated vino de la casa that back then in the 70ies used to accompany their fabadas. The boom of the 90ies not only elated the entire Spanish gastronomic industry but also the people's attitudes. Spain seemed to have overcome the complex of inferiority and began to launch new multifaceted and expensive wines. New barrels, new styles, elegant wines, innovative cuvees, everything was nouveau, shiny and great. The Spanish cuisine rose up and showed the rest of the world that Spain not only does things with relish but also with greatness and professionalism.
However the Spanish El Dorado, founded on mortgages, loans and borrowings, is beginning to crack in spite of being on top of the culinary world. Only few can claim to have done everything right while the rest is suffering the consequences of a collective overestimation. Spanish restaurants barley sustain and the unpleasant consequence is that the cheapest vino de la casa is back on the card. Included into the well known menu, like it has always been, but worse than ever without dignity and without pride.
What happened to the Spanish pride? What used to be a pillar of Spanish culture has been degraded into a mere stereotype for if it was true that the Spanish are such proud people as generally assumed, we maybe wouldn't retrograde and need to drink bad wines in public places.

GENEVA – Organizers of the World Economic Forum in Davos say they have revoked an invitation to a delegation from North Korea in the wake of the secretive Communist country's latest nuclear test.
The WEF says in a statement Wednesday that an invitation was extended to North Korea in the autumn "in view of positive signs coming out of the couuntry." The North Koreans accepted the invitation.
The statement said, however, that following the nuclear test, the delegation would be subject to "existing and possible forthcoming sanctions."
The WEF said: "Given the recent discussions, we cannot maintain the invitation we have issued last year."
The statement added that a delegation would still be welcome if North Korea "acts as a responsible and responsive member of the international community." It did not elaborate.

One Is Good But Two's The Charm
Hello Everyone!Well I have been photographing wildlife for little over five years and recently have been working on a collection of images capturing the connection between animals. There is something truly unique when developing a unique style portraying a story and connection between wildlife. After many hours in the bush I can easily say that the images with the most impact are the ones with one subject interacting with another. Eye contact is not always the focus point but... continue reading

Petition asks Edmonton to build giant Wolverine statue
What would make Edmonton, Alberta, Canada a "'world class' city?" How about a 1,000-foot statue of Wolverine?
Just like "the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Statue of Liberty in New York City," the Wolverine statue "would be a major boon for tourism in the city," writes Brian LaBelle in his petition on Change.org. "It is also important because it is what is commonly referred to as a 'catalyst project,' meaning it will spur greater growth on the downtown of Alberta's capital city and create numerous spin-off projects in much the same way that the X-Men comic book spun off dozens of other successful books."
The petition couldn't come at a better time, as there's already a project happening to revitalize the downtown area of Edmonton — and build a new arena for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers. A commenter suggests that perhaps the petition is a parody and "provides a clear example of how poorly conceived the current Arena deal with [Oilers owner Daryl] Katz is." I can only hope that isn't the case, as I've never been to Edmonton myself, but a statue of Wolverine would certainly be enough to get me to renew my passport and head north.

Cramming all Chile's political woes into one family get-together isn't the subtlest way to tackle the country's still festering wounds, but that's precisely the path Luis R. Vera takes in the overstuffed "Fiestapatria." Obvious and far-too-polemical, this Dogma-inspired uber-drama wants to tackle class, ethnic and gender tensions alongside the residue of years of military dictatorship, but with each participant standing in for a POV, the pic devolves into a collection of cardboard characters. Local play will set off debate, but fests may be the sole takers further afield.
To celebrate the engagement of daughter Macarena (Adela Secall) to Alvaro (Tiago Correa), former military officer Antonio (Nelson Brodt) and sullen wife Isabel (Marcela Osorio) organize a weekend house party coinciding with independence day. When Alvaro's uncle Ernesto (Patricio Contreras) reveals that Isabel was a former leftist political prisoner, all sorts of secrets rise, like noxious gases, to the surface. A subplot about Antonio's abandoned daughter Lorena (Katty Kowaleczko) adds more weight to an already ponderous story, piled high with maltreated indigenous maids, duplicity and overall hypocrisy. Brownish, washed-out tonalities and an over-reliance on handheld camerawork don't help lighten the load.

Hy-Vee announces participation in Pharmacy Saver
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Midwestern supermarket chain Hy-Vee will offer 366 commonly prescribed generic prescription drugs for as little as $2 to select Medicare beneficiaries through a program offered in collaboration with UnitedHealthcare, Hy-Vee said.
The chain said it joined Pharmacy Saver, which UnitedHealthcare started last year. UnitedHealthcare is the country's largest Medicare Part D insurer, and the program is available at more than 6,000 locations throughout the country.
"Hy-Vee is always looking for ways to help our pharmacy customers save money on their prescriptions," Hy-Vee VP pharmacy operations Bob Egeland said. "With the Pharmacy Saver program, Medicare patients don't have to sacrifice convenience, flexibility or friendly personalized service in order to get the lowest prices on the medications they need."
Like many retailers, Hy-Vee offers a generic discount program, whereby customers can fill 30-day prescriptions for $4 and 90-day prescriptions for $10.
GenerationRx youth toolkit addresses Rx abuse among teens
DUBLIN, Ohio — The Cardinal Health Foundation has strengthened its alliance with the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy to address prescription drug abuse among teens.
The Cardinal Health Foundation and the college's GenerationRx youth toolkit provides healthcare providers, pharmacists, parents, teachers, youth group leaders and other concerned citizens with unique, interactive resources to educate teens about the realities and dangers of prescription drug abuse, the Cardinal Health Foundation said.
The toolkit — which is available for download at CardinalHealth.com/GenerationRx — complements the Generation Rx toolkit the two organizations developed for adults.
"Cardinal Health customers and employees are passionate about educating the public about the dangers of prescription drug abuse and misuse, and our new youth toolkit was created in direct response to their interest in speaking directly to teens about this growing public health issue," said Jessica Lineberger, community relations manager for Cardinal Health.
Watson confirms patent challenge over generic Exalgo
MORRISTOWN, N.J. — Drug maker Watson Pharmaceuticals said it has filed a regulatory approval application for a generic painkiller, challenging the patent that covers the branded version.
Watson announced Tuesday that it had filed an application with the Food and Drug Administration seeking approval for hydromorphone hydrochloride extended-release tablets in the 8-mg, 12-mg and 16-mg strengths. The drug is a generic version of Mallinckrodt's Exalgo.
Pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act of 1984, which created the approval pathway for generic pharmaceutical drugs, Mallinckrodt filed a patent infringement suit against Watson last week. The suit puts a stay on final approval of Watson's version of the drug until April 2013, or until the two companies reach a settlement. The patents covering the drug expire in July 2014, according to the FDA.

Hi everyone, some people might remember me from last year, and the year before and probably the year before that :), i always end up caving in on about day 4. this time i thought id try that quickmist spray, i cant believe how easy its been this time around. the spray tastes absolutly minging though, but it seems to be working.
i signed up for the race for life this year with my 10 year old daughter, so i thought i better start getting fit (didnt want to be crawling along after the first mile lol) im so pleased with myself, well i must be to be able to post on here, i got sick of writing on day one, then again how id failed a few days later.
this is it for me now, the only ones that are suffering now are my children coz i keep eating all of their goodies they leave around :p. keep up the good work everyone, and i wont be seeing you in day one again. xxx

It would be no small blow to science
if there's one who lends compliance
working back in time to give
a kick start to all those that live
and to things called inanimate
cooperation to create
no more just bits that chance to meet
demanding an astounding feat.
Tunes coming down from far away
can raise a voice somewhere today.
Another genius is born
to rearrange what's old and worn.
Man struggles on to clarify
what's seen through his myopic eye:
a universe that never tires
and unencumbered by desires.
No doing but what's needed done.
One step ahead to spoil the fun
the future mirrors what has passed
to man so small in that so vast.

Shellac Tiger Flakes from Tools for Working Wood
by Christopher Schwarz
page 16
Because shellac is my favorite finish, I have tried nearly every brand of flakes on the market. By far, my favorite brand is the premium dewaxed flakes – Tiger Flakes – sold by Tools for Working Wood in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Because there are no lac bugs in Brooklyn, this stuff is obviously sourced from a third party. But what makes it special is the care and attention lavished on the flakes in transit to you. Tiger Flakes are primo – they have fewer bug parts than any other brand I've tried (and I've filtered out a lot of legs and other buggy bits in my day).
And they are fresh. Tools for Working Wood ships them in heavy, double-sealed plastic with a desiccant pack. The result is that the flakes dissolve quickly in alcohol. I typically mix up shellac in Mason jars – and flakes that I mix in the evening are ready to go the next morning.
Side note: Many shellac snobs get haired over about methanol vs. ethanol when mixing the shellac. With the Tiger Flakes, I can use any old denatured alcohol off the shelf at the home center and it works beautifully.
Because the shellac is fresh, it dries hard, fast and clear. Tiger Flakes have won over many of my students who had tried shellac once and didn't like it because it was gummy and didn't dry well.
Tiger Flakes come in the colors super blond, blond, amber and garnet – each color deeper in orange than the last. Yes, it's expensive ($32 to $42 for a half-pound), but it will never let you down.

Kia Posts Sales Gain for Tenth Consecutive Month
February might seem bleak to some, but for Kia, everything's coming up roses. The South Korean carmaker recently announced its February sales—and they're quite impressive.
For the month of February, Kia posted a 13% increase compared to last year's sales. This is the tenth consecutive month the carmaker has seen an increase, which was led by a multitude of its models, including the Kia Soul utility vehicle and Optima sedan.
Let Your Hair Down: Check out what the Kia A1A Optima has to offer
"With our Super Bowl ad, Presidents' Day Sales Event, and prominent role in the NBA All-Star Game, February was a huge month for Kia as we extended our monthly record streak to double digits," said Michael Sprague, Chief Operating Officer and EVP for Kia Motors America. "Positive economic indicators, low gas prices, and mild weather nationwide also drove consumers into Kia showrooms at a record pace, where they discovered the 'New Kia's' lineup of world-class products.
Leading the way in Kia's tenth month in a row of sales gains were the Kia Forte compact car, the K900, the Soul, and the Sportage SUV. Each of these vehicles saw a significant increase in their February sales compared to 2015, helping Kia post its best-ever February sales of 49,737.
Want the Best? Learn why the Kia Sedona and Optima are considered the best family cars
This increase really comes as no surprise. Over the course of this year, Kia has made some major changes to attract younger millennial buyers to its folds. These changes include spiffy new upgrades to the popular 2016 Kia Optima; an interactive partnership with the NBA; and a plan to introduce its first-ever sports sedan.
Add the fact that both the 2016 Kia Optima and the Sorento were named International Car of the Year Award winners, and it really comes as no surprise that Kia is doing so well.

Two dead, one Wounded in Mogadishu Market blast
At least two people, including a soldier were killed, and another wounded in grenade bomb blast in Bakaro, Mogadishu's biggest market on Tuesday, police said.
The attack occurred when a suspected Al Shabaab assailant has thrown a hand grenade into a group of Somali government soldiers collecting tax from business centers in Bakaro market, said police officer.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, but police blame Al Shabaab for the bombing that left at least two people dead in Bakaro market explosion.
Mogadishu has seen deadly attacks, including car bombings in recent months as Somali troops and AU forces are fighting the Al Shabaab militants for nearly a decade.

Saturday night in thread
After a slightly heavy night last night, I'm pulling the curtains and staying firmly indoors. Keep meaning to revise, but finding excuses to put it off. Watched the rugby. Now watching Let's Dance for Comic Relief. Lulu prancing about while mouthing 'SUPERMAN DAT HO!' is really fucking wrong. Noel Fielding was good though.
just in from watching the rugby
can't face comic relief but no ideas where to go otherwise, bad times
Some guys I've never heard of are tao dancing now.
They're surprisingly good at it. Which means I'm no longer watching a comedy programme, I'm just watching dancing. And this upsets me.
*tap dancing
Though I'm intrigued as to what tao dancing might involve.
My mum and dad finally bought me my christmas present today. A new netbook.
I'm going to stay in an drink some wine and play on it. Currently downloading Finaly Fantasy VII. My girlfriend has her friend coming over, so I might converse with them at times.
Just had an Indian
Fannying about on the internet until Take Me Out comes on, then hopefully Air Crash Investigation is on between that and Match of the Day.
I could do with a girlfriend or something.
I am reading about daoism/taoism
I had a nice phone convo with my parents which is unusual cause I'm normally a complete bitch. It's pretty nice cause I have new lamps and candles in my room and some beers and there's a nice ambience. bye for now.
watched rugby
i have a really sore back because i attempted yoga unsupervised.
was going to go to a concert, drink lots of booze then walk the 1hr+ home but then I decided i cant be bothered. Tomorrow I will go to an irish bar because I vaguely know somebody that might be working there. This way I can watch scotland v ireland and hopefully get drunk cheaply.
Watched the rugby (Wales match probably better than England match, but England won which is all that's important)
now I think I'm going to read a paper for next week and maybe tidy my room up a bit. Rock AND roll.
I tidied today.
Anything to avoid revision.
My parents are visiting tomorrow, so I feel I should tidy my room.
No plans for tonight, although given that last night / this morning I only had about four and a half hours sleep then got up to do a fairly intense exercise class, I should probably plan on an early night tonight.
I've not had dinner yet. Thinking about getting a Chinese. Naughty but I haven't had one in ages.
So tempted to get a takeaway.
I'm trying to be very very good this week though (eating healthy, saving money, working hard), so I must stay strong.
It's always tempting
Although I was trying to avoid the craving, I just gave in to it. I blame the HungryHouse website. They make ordering takeaway far too easy, especially as I have my card details saved. It's like the food equivalent of Amazon's one click shopping - dangerous!
Ive got to WORRRRRRRRRRK. But no motivation to do so :(
GF's back in london tommorow evening though, so this weekend wont be a total write off.
- maccaz91 this'd this
since my original plans for tonight have changed
I'm spending it at home probably going to watching the social network and/or inception depending on how I feel, also might watch UFC if I can be bothered to stay up until 1.
Bisping looked so posh at the weight in.
Until he opened his mouth that is :D
Looks like a decent card tonight though eh?
definitely, I've actually heard quite a few people
saying it's one of the weakest cards so far this year but I'm really looking forward to it. The weigh-in and the events leading up to it made me wonder of Jorge's trolling actually got to Michael, I'm actually rooting for him but this did make me smile. -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLTniiY8BVc
Aside from that I think the main event should be very interesting, I do like BJ penn but I have a lot of respect for Jon Fitch's incredible work ethic and George Sotiropulous has been on an incredible tear lately.
Really stupidly bored
finishing off my second pack of chocolate fingers in two days and listening to pantha du prince. Must've done this about 100 times since the start of uni (the sweet food bought in bulk is variable though).
drinking beer
Will continue playing Arkham Asylum later, probably.
I'm in. I had burger king which I ate IN THE CAR. Take me out is on in a bit so I'm going to be watching that and then trying to sleep as I am SLEEPY.
I've been
looking forward to Take Me Out all day.
I was about to put a DVD on, couldn't decide which
I forgot Take Me Out was on. I'll watch that instead.
has been the only thing thats kept me going.
Those eyebrows
JFCvirago and meowington this'd this
She didn't look so
fat behind the podium. Then she comes out, BOOM BOOM BOOM.Enderlin this'd this
Does anyone think these girls dress well?
(apart from red haired lady who got a date last week) Their dresses always seem really ill fitting or weird.
It's hard to tell really
from behind the things. I think a lot of them are just really weird shapes though.
They should listen to How To Dress Well.
I like Stacey's dress this week
it matches her hair nicely.
Gonna listen to some albums and try to finish reading Homicide which I've had on the go since September. Shocking, really. Might make a sandwich or something coz I had ALL YOU CAN EAT CURRY for lunch.
my brothers are watching zoolander at 9
will probably watch it too. then internet then bed
what is going on with those eyebrows?!Enderlin this'd this
Completely unsuccesful day in terms of studying
when i've got a deadline for monday. Just really tired, bored and unenthusiastic for it. So i'm going to go to the pub and possibly a shit night club for jokez. I dunno what i'm thinking.
Right now it's all good, sipping some neat whisky, take me out and j dilla.
got a fish supper
with not one, not two, but THREE fish inside
Can't believe he didn't pick Zsa Zsa.
What a nonce.
jojo! <3
I'm so happy for her.hip_young_gunslinger and harman_kardon this'd this
I think they could wheel out the rotting corpse of Dr Harold Shipman
and at least two girls would keep their lights on
Is starting to find some of the girls on Take Me Out genuinely attractive
a sign of serious problems?
Some of them are
usually the ones that don't open their mouths.
Apparently she gets a date in March, so from next week onwards.
Never saw myself saying spoiler alert for take me out...
is it just me or is this series going on way longer than the last?
If so, its great.
i can't remember
i don't get to watch take me out as much as i want as i don't have a tv at uni and have to do it over the net which i find a lot less casually acceptable. Not sure i can soberly watch take me out by myself on my laptop a few days later. Just feels a tad wrong.
Haven't really answered your question here.. yes?
Just can't get into Take me out
Probably because it's a bit of a shouting contest. Keep expecting Phillip Schofield to step onboard and show the young pretenders HOW IT'S REALLY DONE! LIKE DANCING ON ICE!
Tonight has been Scott Pilgrim Versus The World. The rest of the weekend I'll be sleeping, moping, eating, writing, moping, having a bath, scouring eBay for cameras, typing up notes, editing photos. By myself.
Next weekend is the Drinking and Funtime Olympics, in comparison.
Hi gang, i just watched The Brothers Bloom, I love that films so much
Had to go into the office today and am getting up early to play football tomorrow. I really, really want a bloody lay-in
