My first time to NYC was great. Everybody was getting annoyed by me because all they heard was "ooh" and "wow." It's definitely an amazing city and definitely not Providence. I loved it but I don't think I'd ever want to live there. Sometimes I just want to rest and I don't think I'd be able to rest there. Also the Westin hotel was great and had an amazing view. My favorite part had to be the Ferris wheel at Toys R Us because it was new. But I don't think that I didn't like anything about NYC. Thanks for taking us!
~*~Kirby~*~ (a.k.a Fidelia Vasquez)
Kirby, Itza and Carolina accompanied the PSQ to New York City for a fundraiser on Saturday. Carolina was a NYC veteran, but for Itza and Kirby, it was their first trip to Manhattan. I had a great time checking out the musical instrument exhibit with them at the Metropolitan Museum. How amazing, some of the early stringed instruments, such as the arpeggiones, the lutes, the mandolins with their intricate carvings and additional resonating strings! Grace, a former CMW cello mentor and current NYC school teacher joined us at the Museum after Kirby managed to rouse her from her peaceful Saturday morning slumber. On Friday evening with Sebastian and Minna, we even scored some free tickets for a chamber music concert at Carnegie Hall performed by the Fellows of the pilot Carnegie-Juilliard-Weill Institute "Academy."

As we come up on the two-year anniversary of the storm, I find myself at a bit of a loss for words. It's not so much that I'm healed, or that anything is back to normal. I guess in a way, I am discovering what thousands of people with some dread medical condition have already realized for years: I don't want to let this tragedy define me.
Back in November I caught up my old friend Tim Stanton (the drummer for the band "the UGLISTICK"). Tim and I sort of lost touch after Heather and I moved to New Orleans some 6 years ago, and I finally managed to track him down (through a series of phone calls to mutual friends and a hawklike eye on the local entertainment listings). After the obligatory hugs and greetings that reuniting with a long lost friend requires came the inevitable questions of "How have you been?! What's been happening?!"
How have I been? ... What's been happening? ... Seemingly innocuous questions, but for those of us living through the reconstruction of the Coast, these two questions could take days to answer.
But, I believe I answered him something like this.
"You know, moved to New Orleans, made some connections, got some gigs, moved to Waveland, yadda, yadda, yadda, now I'm living in Bay St. Louis."
I yadda yadda'd over the entire time since the storm. The heartache, the shock, the loss, the grieving, the daily struggles, the lines at the Red Cross distribution points, the trials and tribulations of insurance adjusters and FEMA. The snafus of flood zones, elevations, blueprints, meetings, donation distribution, all of it ... yadda, yadda, yadda.
I think I've come to understand how someone can be a quiet Jewish man down the street who never talks about his childhood in World War II Germany (not that the situations are the same by any means). After a while, you don't want to let a tragedy define you. To be alive and function as a human you can't dwell on misfortune forever. Sometime the healing process happens whether you want it to or not.
I certainly wouldn't want to walk down the street 20 years from now and hear people say "That's Steve Harper. ... He lost his house in Katrina."
As far as anniversaries go, I'm much more excited by Heather's birthday we celebrated last week. I'm much more excited about a 20-year reunion with my band from college "The Aboriginals" that my friend Tim Stanton is putting together for me. I'm much more excited about my band "Heather and the Monkey King" and our tour dates in Europe next summer (on the anniversary of our tour dates in Spain from this year). Two years since the storm doesn't really mean that much, I guess.
The kids in my school are pretty much like kids now. I hear about it when they move into houses and out of their trailers. True, life here on the Coast is still far from normal. Heather and I seem to talk about whether we should stay or go nearly every week (and she says she thinks about it every day.). I certainly do understand the appeal of living someplace where destruction and hardship are not daily occurrences (but flooding, fires and tragedies of late have proven that no place on Earth is free from peril.) One never knows what the future holds.
However, I feel that no matter where we wind up, and no matter what happens to us in the future, we won't let tragedy define us.
P.S. As I was writing this piece, I got a phone call from my old friend John Leon, a musician from Austin Texas. I had lost touch with him before we moved to New Orleans. (In fact, Heather and I met at his wedding!) He, too, asked me to fill him in on the past years. ... Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Broadcaster struggles to stay on air
Steve Harper's "Healing Happens --- Yadda, Yadda, Yadda" should be posted in every newspaper in this country. Excellent and healthy outlook no matter what tragedy befalls a person.
I wonder if tragedy like these one make people open their eyes and define them as it should.But the sad thing is they still blind.
I lived in Slidell and went to school and work in New Orleans when it hit. My family and I got the standard fare - lost home, work, school. And every incidental run of bad luck afterwards was magnified by the situation. But, I kept my head down, finished my master's degree while working 3 jobs with a 65-mile (one way) commute, and moved into a great job.
I know that had I not been through Katrina, and the subsequent fallout, I would not be who I am today. I don't really think of myself as a victim or a survivor. I haven't let the tragedy of Katrina define me, but my response to that tragedy - hard work, and faith and hope - has galvanized who I am today.
I know many people who have similar stories, and I really hope that everyone in the region can draw strength from their experiences and move forward. We may never be fully healed, but that's no reason not to keep working and have hope.
My husband and I lived in Pass Christian on Menge Ave 2 years ago when Katrina hit. During the hurricane, we stayed in Gulfport with my mother-in-law, where we thought we would be safe. Needless to say, we lost everything we owned,including our jobs, however, we had our lives and the desire to make our life better. We relocated to Georgia where within the month, we both had jobs and a place to live. We still do not have everything that we had before Katrina, but we have the peace of mind that we are safe and with God's Love we can have anything we want.
I'm glad that you are still playing. was wondering how it was going since it had been so long since your last post. It sounds like things are looking up.
No matter where you relocate after the hurricane -- don't ever get too content about being SAFE. I finally decided that if I move trouble will find me there also. It might not be a hurricane but look at all those other big ole problems out there.
Thank you for a frank look at how to handle adversity, Steve. Your community and state is certainly qualified to handle that assessment like college-educated professionals! It's good to hear from you again. For someone like me who believes that laughter and music are good for the soul, I'm glad to see you didn't loose your music or your humor during the storm.
Belated happy birthday to Heather! I wish both of you a successful school year.

Two days ago, The team of Moda Operandi, the only fashion e-tailor that lets you secure and pre-order the items you see straight from the runway, visited my hometown Kuwait for a private event. The Private event and cocktail reception was in the presence of Áslaug Magnúsdóttir Moda Operandi Co-Founder & CEO, whom I have previously interviewed and featured here during her last visit to Kuwait, and Moda Operandi's Artistic Director and global style icon Taylor Tomasi Hill.
Unfortunately, due to the traffic jam that night, which coincided with the firework show in celebration of the golden jubilee anniversary of Kuwait's constitution, and because I live close to where the celebrations were held, I couldn't attend the Moda Operandi event. My plan was to go to Moda Operandi's event right after the fireworks show. Of course that would have been also impossible because the roads were blocked for hours after the show. So we spent the night on the rooftop enjoying the show, can't complain about that as it was beyond magnificent, you can read the Daily Mail's review here.
Now back to the Moda Operandi's event, my friend who attended the event said that the talented designer Ingvar Helgason of Ostwald Helgason, was there too. Moda Operandi presented his S/S 2013 collection, along with a selection of one-of-a-kind vintage Hermes bags from Heritage Auctions. Oh! and by the way, did you know that Ostwald Helgason is currently stocked at Boutique N? Isn't that super fabulous! The owner just knows how to pick the hottest brands around! Kudos to her!
Anyways, I was also asked by Moda Operandi if I could take Taylor Tomasi Hill on a quick tour to show her around my favorite spots in Kuwait for her Middle East diary which is supposed to be featured in Harper's Bazaar magazine and Style.com Arabia, and I had to do it in like 3 hours, Oh, I forgot to mention that the Moda Operandi team flew in all the way from New York and stayed for like less than 24 hours in Kuwait and they had to fly to Dubai the next day to continue their road show. Of course I jumped at this opportunity! Spending any amount of time with my ultimate style icon for the second time around is like beyond amazing! What have I done to deserve this rally! So I made a plan to go to at least six places, but of course due to the traffic jam and the fact that we like to shop, we only managed to squeeze in two locations, which are Souk Al Mubarikiya and 52 Degrees. I wanted to take Taylor to the Modern Museum, DAI, AlOthman boutique, Boutique 4, and some art galleries, but most were closed (except for Boutique 4 and DAI, as we ran out of time). 2 to 5PM is a dead time in Kuwait, unless you enjoy going to the malls.
Marie Claire Kuwait also joined in briefly as they had to do a photoshoot with Taylor Tomasi Hill, we were lucky enough to get a sneak peak of the photos taken by Kuwaiti photographer Hamad Al Shaijy and they looked ahhhhmazing!! Taylor had to do a quick change of outfit at one of the boutiques in Saqran Complex, where we also had authentic Kuwaiti meal at this clean and neat restaurant called Tikka & Lumi. Thank you Sara for suggesting it. And last but not least, in the middle of our tour we were joined by Tala Samman of MyFashdiary, who I finally had the pleasure to meet personally, she also flew in from Dubai to attend the event for her Style.com Arabia coverage and it was her first visit to Kuwait. I really hope that everyone enjoyed their brief stay. Anyways, I'll leave you now with some highlights of the tour...
Doesn't Taylor look amazing in this dress? I swear she pulled off any item she tried on that day
Buying some gifts for the family
Taylor loved Al Mubarakiya, especially the spices section, her favorite are chili pepper flakes
Taking photos for her diary
Sitting pretty on my favorite piece from the MAZE Creative Concepts collections
Taylor and Tala Having a quick bite before we head out to our next destination...

Valentine's came and went this year with all the usual fanfare. The kids showed great enthusiasm for ye old day o' love, which was sweet. Sam treated me royally, which was also sweet. And I didn't get another ticket from Officer Friendly, which was super sweet. Oh…did I not tell you about that?
Earlier last week, my 1.5 year-old caught his sister's cold. When Master Princeling catches a cold, sailors beware. I drove to school on Monday morning amidst high decibel whining and shouting. And by shouting, I mean the repeated screaming of a single word until I lose my mind. Examples include, "Down!" (he wants the window down), "Aqua!" (he's dropped his water and wants me to climb back and get it for him while I'm driving), and "Mine" (usually refers to an object that he was holding, but has now lost to his sister). It's exhausting.
Quickly I pulled up to school in the yellow zone and handed off my daughter to some hapless parent who was walking in at the same time. My darling older child gave me a hug and a kiss and marched in for all the world a woman of her own. Yes, I nodded to myself, that one's going to be just fine. And then like a whirling dervish, I was off again. The backseat was noisy. Master Princeling wanted home. I drove like the wind. My one coherent thought in the insane chaos was simple: get baby to bed, get baby to bed. And then Officer Friendly joined the circus.
Of course, the flashing lights and strobe party quieted the Princeling right down. Please, Officer Friendly, I begged – a warning will suffice. The Princeling has me losing my mind and I need to get home to take my tonic. Two shots of wart hog makes the medicine go down, Guinness is brown, put that gun on the ground…
Officer Friendly was not swayed by the crazy in my eyes nor my melodious singing voice. I am now the proud owner of my very own traffic citation. Whoo Hoo!
It's hard out there for a pimp.

Balancing high up in the trees, this powerful leopard spots its next meal... a baby monkey teetering on the end of a branch.
The pair had been in a tense three-hour chase, but as the female beast got ready to pounce, the youngster made a leap for it.
In incredible scenes the big cat followed the monkey, flying through the air, but the target finally fled. During the hunt in the South African bush the leopard caught its prey three times, but let it go to "test her skills".
Guide Gary Parker's safari group saw the chase. He said: "The monkey had a very lucky escape. We were privileged to witness it."
He added: "This was nature in its true form.
"The leopard was a young female that was hunting, I can only guess that it was a game of cat and mouse and was using the monkey to test her skills.
"On at least three occasions, the leopard got a hold of its prey and then for some reason, let it go, I imagine it was to just keep the game going.
"Eventually, the monkey leapt from the top of the tree, followed by the leopard to safety.
"I don't think she intentionally let it go, I think the monkey had a very lucky escape.
"At times the action was so intense at times that a lot of "oohs and "aahs" were heard coming from the guests on the vehicle."

Every local government has tried to crack down on drunk driving, but it often doesn't work.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
Former Boston Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk was arrested Monday for drunk driving after police found him passed out in his car in a corn field, reported ESPN. The 64 year old retired athlete is the latest in a string of celebrity DUI charges, which has included running back Michael Turner and former defensive back Ray Buchanan of the Atlanta Falcons. But attorneys with Chicago Injury Attorneys, a legal advice website, say the uptick in drunk driving is not limited to athletes alone – and sober drivers should know their rights.
"Every local government has tried to crack down on drunk driving, but it often doesn't work," said Karla Bradford, a spokesperson for the website. "Every week we see people who were struck by drunk drivers, and we know there are many more who never take the time to talk to a lawyer."
Fisk's car was spotted in the middle of a cornfield early in the morning. Police investigated and found the Hall of Famer unconscious at the wheel, with an open bottle of alcohol in the vehicle, according to authorities. Paramedics were called and Fisk was transported to the hospital before being charged with DUI, a lane violation and illegally transporting alcohol.
No one was hurt in the incident, but Bradford says not every DUI ends so well.
"Most drunk drivers never make headlines because they aren't celebrities," she said. "But often they're much worse than what happened here. [Fisk] didn't hurt anyone but himself, but what if he had hit another vehicle?"
Bradford says that anyone in a car accident should talk to an attorney, whether they feel injured or not – especially if alcohol was involved. She says Chicago Injury Attorneys exists as a free portal to help victims do just that.
"Compensation is available to accident victims," Bradford said. "You don't know your options until you talk to a good attorney, which is why we offer free consultations."
About Chicago Injury Attorneys:
Chicago Injury Attorneys exists to help accident victims of any kind find an injury attorney in Chicago. The website provides legal information and helps connect victims with a qualified attorney for the case. The website is free and only works with lawyers who offer free consultations.

Mahabharat 16th December 2013 Written Episode Update
Mahabharat 16th December 2013 Written Episode, Mahabharat 16th December 2013 Written Update
The Kauravas and Pandavas remained on the either side glaring at each other as if ready to start the fight when suddenly duryodhan kept his gada near yudhisthiras foot. He folded his arms and announced that he agrees along with his brothers accept yudhisthira as the new samrat of Hasthinapur.
Saints bathe him in milk and tamarid to complete his rajyavishek and then he was crowned. Yudhisthra took blessing from all the elders and his mother. Karna was not happy with the decision and so was Dhritarashtra. When everyone in the hastinapur started cheering for this new rajkumar Druryodhan tried hard to control his anger.
Pandavas were having their fun time mocking Duryodhan comparing him with the bitter gourd. Their assumption was that he cannot change. Yudhisthira asked
Gandhari listens to duyodhan's vemon coated words against Yudhisthra and asked him to follow the dharma. But he said only people who are weak follows dharma. And fulfilling his wishes doesnot make him immoral. He declred that he had only one dream, and that was the kingship of Hastinapur.
Bhishma was speaking his heart out with his mother and was seeking her permission to grant this death. When Ganga made him understand that he can only leave when he will be left with no string. And Responsibility is one of the strings and until and unless heis left with no responsibility. Bhishma asked who was it who will guide him to see when he could leave this world to which she said there will be someone who will come very soon and guide him.
Krishna's sayings
Dharma is one topic which has been discussed time and again and by everyone. But where everyone actually understood dharma in real? Dharma is something which can always give happiness. It destroys all the evil things. But how was it possible not to fight? Whenever there is love there is a fight. And when there is fight love is left alone and after that anger, want grows but not love. But when love arises all anger, all want dies down. And the would will be free of anger. People forget very easily and the world fills with adharma. And then the super power himself takes birth to remind effected people and show them right path.
That was the reason Vishu took birth as Krishna to release the saints, to destroy those who took immoral path, to bring back dharma.

Behind Our Country Home
Cheri Wollenberg
We have a farm home in Oklahoma. On a recent trip there it was haying time....which by the way has been constant during this spring and summer due to the consistant rains! I couldn't resist doing this painting. Everytime I go out the back door from our home I have new inspiration for paintings. I will be posting other paintings of this great place as they are finished. A friend recently exclaimed, "Why, that isn't about the barn, is it?"

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is heading into season five, and it just continues to get more exciting. Darth Maul has made his return, and he and his brother Savage Opress currently have Obi-Wan and Asajj Ventress as prisoners. Supervising director Dave Filoni and head writer Matt Michnovetz shared some information about what's ahead for specific characters and plots and dodged questions about Ahsoka's fate.
Last season built towards the resurrection of Maul and now that he and his long lost brother are together, the writers have a new relationship to explore. Filoni tried to find a way out of bringing Maul back, but George was adamant. Filoni on his return: "It's difficult. It causes problems." He knew Maul would want revenge on Kenobi, but he also wanted to get across that "the Sith aren't always blunt weapons. What we reveal about Maul is that he's quite sinister, tactical, and has great knowledge about why Sidious is successful as a Sith Lord. I think he's more intelligent than people assume."
For Michnovetz, it was difficult to figure out how to write the Zabrak. He said, "It was a challenge to make him a character the audience can empathize with." Maul is a little off, and Savage doesn't necessarily realize what his brother's intentions are. Savage may not expect what Maul is willing to do and may not handle it well.
They also had to figure out Maul's look. Moderator Pablo Hidalgo (of Lucasfilm) asked about Maul's "raptor legs" and whether they would be a permanent addition. Filoni shook his head, looked uncomfortable, and said he was a terrible liar. He said that would be answered this season. Later, a fan asked about whether Maul would be getting armor and Filoni said, "He isn't going to be shirtless forever." He said the next trailer released for the season will show off Maul's new look.
A fan pointed out that there seem to be a lot of Sith running around in the universe and wondered if Maul had been demoted. Filoni said, "We wanted to show how and why there is a rule of two. What's the Siths' problem? They can't get together and agree to share power. That's not in their nature." Darth Sidious has taken notice though, and he will be appearing to his subordinates as more than a hologram. He's not happy with all the Sith wannabes.
Even though Filoni sweats and is obviously frustrated when he can't give as much as information as he wants, he still gave up some information in the panel, directly and otherwise. He confirmed that we'll see more of Katee Sackhoff's character, Bo-Katan. "She'll do more in this season than Boba Fett has ever done." That led to the news that Boba Fett will not be appearing in season five; he will definitely be back at a later point "with a vengeance." As you've probably guessed from the trailer, the Death Watch and Mandalorians play a prominent role next season. Obi-Wan was even wearing Mandalorian armor in a clip shared at the panel, which we can show you exclusively below!
It sounded like Padme and Anakin may experience some challenges this season. As Filoni put it, "It [their relationship] is not always a picnic on Naboo." Obi-Wan will learn more about them and what's going on. Filoni said Obi-Wan is not going to get a break this season, and we'll understand "why he lives alone in the desert." As far as Ahsoka? Filoni thinks this is her biggest year yet of development. He expertly sidestepped a question about her ultimate fate.
Finally, Filoni and Michnovetz announced they'll be showing the premiere episode of Season 5 at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando from August 23-26. They will tease more about the rest of the season at that convention, too.

By Michelle BoisvertPosted Monday, 7 January, 2008
Are you looking to rev up your 2008 spring racing season with a great 5K that sports a downhill finish? How about kicking off the RRCA New Hampshire Grand Prix series with a 10K of the same caliber? If so, then the Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter (NSK&S) Run for Food and Shelter 5K – and inaugural 10K – is the place to set your sights.
Located in downtown Nashua, New Hampshire, just one hour north of Boston and one hour from the Seacoast, the Run for Food and Shelter 5K has become a mainstay in the region over the last 15 years. The race was first established in conjunction with the YWCA as a woman's-only race, and was run at the end of the summer. But in 1994, the NSK&S began its own tradition, opening the 5K race up to female and male runners and walkers of all abilities and moving it to mid-April – carefully scheduling it between holidays, other local events, and the Boston Marathon weekend.
This year, race organizers have upped the ante and added to this well-organized event. Sunday, April 13, 2008, marks the running of the 15th Annual 5K race and the inaugural 10K race – the first event of the season in the competitive Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) New Hampshire Grand Prix. Both events are certified RRCA New Hampshire State Championship races and will be Champion Chip timed. Nashua's easy-to-reach location makes this a perfect tune-up venue to kickoff your race season. The out-and-back 5K and 10K courses send runners up historic Main Street on a slight- but steady- incline. It's comforting to keep in mind, though, that what goes up must come down; the final stretch of both races is a fast downhill finish.
Looking for a PR?
"We added the 10K course because we wanted to do something new for the race's 15th anniversary," notes Lisa Christie, executive director, Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter, and race organizer. "We've also been looking to attract more runners to the event. There are so many 5Ks, but there aren't a lot of 10K races in N.H., and especially in Nashua." Christie worked with a local running club and the RRCA to have both courses certified as state championship races, which gives you a chance to catch a glimpse of some excellent local running talent. And since the 10K course is slated as the first NH Grand Prix race of the season, there's guaranteed to be a rabbit somewhere in the pack to pull you to a new PR. Both are net downhill.
The RRCA NH Grand Prix series encompasses one race each month for seven months, with distances ranging from 5K to 10 miles. Each race in the series is hosted by a different running club throughout the state. The series gives local running clubs a chance at some friendly competition, and the ability to accumulate points based on individual and team results. If you're a member of another New England-based running club, this gives you a chance to see how you match up against other N.H. teams! The NSK&S marks the only 10K NHGP event in the 2008 season.
Double the Fun
This event isn't just about competition and getting tuned up for a busy race season. The crowd support, well-managed traffic control, great race-day organization and a stocked post-race feast make this perfect for first-time racers as well. "Quite a few people have said that this 5K was their very first race," notes Christie. The addition of the 10K event gives some of those first-time 5K runners a chance to double their fun and run their first 10K race! The first NSK&K 5K hosted about 300 runners and walkers; entries have reached up to 700 in previous years. Christie is hoping that this year's races reach a field of 1,000 runners for both the 5K and 10K. This is the first 10K in downtown Nashua since the old USATF (TAC) Championship Nashua Trust 10K.
The NSK&S Run for Food and Shelter is also a great way for the whole family to raise money for a worthy, vitally important organization that's been giving back to the greater Nashua community for more than a quarter of a century. Established in 1981, the Nashua Soup Kitchen began serving meals to people in need throughout the greater Nashua area. Within two years, the organization merged with the Nashua Area Shelter for the Homeless – forming the NSK&S and serving poor and homeless men, women and children throughout the community. In the past year, the organization served about 45,000 meals, hosted about 12,000 shelter bed nights in the homeless shelter, and gave out about 780 turkeys and food baskets to families and individuals for both Thanksgiving and Christmas – and those numbers continue to rise every year. "The price of gas and heating oil has gone up this year, so people who were struggling to begin with are having a more difficult time now," adds Christie. Other services that the organization offers include community advocacy, employment/education programs, assistance in locating permanent and affordable housing, rent and fuel assistance, and transitional housing.
While event organizers can guarantee a good race that raises money for a great cause, they can't necessarily bank on perfect weather. New Hampshire weather is known for its unpredictability – especially in April. But being a rain-or-shine event just adds to the fun, and race directors and volunteers for this 15-year event have seen it all. "Every year is a little different," says Christie. "The best weather we had was warm and sunny, with temps in the 70s. The worst weather we experienced was the year when we had to de-ice everything, including the finish line. We marked the course throughout the city with barrels and cones. But when we went to clean those up after the race, they were completely frozen to the road." But typically the weather is ideal for running.
Other race day events include the Kids' Sprint for those 9 years old and younger, and a 3K family walk. Custom-designed medals will be awarded to the top 3 overall finishers in each age group, as well as top male and female police officers. Participants are also encouraged to obtain sponsors and raise pledge money. All proceeds benefit the programs of the Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter. The youth (18 and under) who hands in the most pledge money on race day will win an iPod; and those who raise more than $150 will receive a restaurant gift certificate! Primary sponsors for 2008 include Subaru of Nashua and the Nashua Police Patrolman's Association.
Don't Forget the Party
The NSK&S Run for Food and Shelter 5K and 10K races will offer a little something for everyone: run your first 5K or 10K, earn some points for your running club or team, engage in a little friendly competition, watch some top New England runners in action, and maybe chalk up a new PR for yourself on a great course! Once the race is over, though, runners and walkers can warm up or cool down (depending on that race day weather!) and enjoy some of the best post-race food in the area -- refreshments, sandwiches, salads, cookies and other desserts. And, if you don't feel like racing to the finish, don't worry... organizers keep the party going to make sure that there's food left, no matter when you finish. I can't think of a better way to kick of the 2008 race season and raise some money for a worthy cause!

This Jaguar is currently undergoing a comprehensive restoration to a show/driver level, but may be painted or customized with performance upgrades and/or comfort options of your choosing. To date, this Drop Head Coupe has been thoroughly gone through and its body has been disassembled, photographed, and taken to bare metal with all proper body work being fitted to perfection. The interior is in the process of being re-upholstered by master trimmers in our upholstery department, along with a proper and perfectly fitted convertible top. The brite work will be re-plated as needed, with all hardware panels done in their proper finish. A rare vehicle with limited ownership and matching numbers, this XK-150 yields a rare engine size of 3.8 liters, which was the largest displacement engine of the period that was available for this model. The 3.8 engine model had a few distinct changes, amongst them a significant difference in the rear tail light fixtures. With an estimated completion date of spring 2015, this iconic and very unique XK-150 will present a great opportunity for the collector or enthusiast seeking to add a rare piece of Jaguar history to his or her collection.

Claudio Ranieri has revealed that Monaco are hopeful about securing Radamel Falcao's signature this summer.
The striker is expected to leave Atletico Madrid in favour of a switch to the newly-crowned Ligue 2 champions at some point during the close season, and the ASM coach believes the Colombian will be the perfect player to build their project around.
"Who wouldn't want a player who always scores? We hope he can join us. That way we can start building for the future," he told Sky Sports.
The principality side beat Le Mans 2-1 to secure the Ligue 2 title on Friday, having already won promotion back to the top flight and Ranieri made it clear that they want to challenge for top honours again right away.
"Our objective now is to play in the Champions League. Why would we not be able to make it into Europe again next season?" he told France Football.
"We will now have to build a very strong team, because there are plenty of good opponents in Ligue 1. We have to focus on Ligue 1 first.
"The main thing for now is to build a new team. We have some big plans, but we don't want to talk about specific transfers. There is a great project going on at Monaco."
Monaco conclude the 2012-13 campaign with a trip to Tours on Friday.

The dramatic primetime soap opera, Dallas, had a successful first run from 1978-1991 and returned after 21 years on TNT to continue the story which revolved around the Ewings, a wealthy Texan family in the oil and cattle-ranching industries. The focus was mainly on John Ross Ewing III, J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing's son, as well as Christopher Ewing, the adopted son of Bobby and Pam Ewing. Each son is a carbon copy of his father, which took the show full circle until its cancellation, October 3, 2014.

• Till now I have completed 2 chapters and I see that the videos are only of 10 to 15 mins, is this the case with all the other chapters?
If videos are small, It feels like, one thing is done. Some presentation based videos are approx one hour long
• Is the course content inline with the current knowledge area given by PMI, like in case of PMP, PMI has introduced few more tasks last year and the PMP exams are renewed to include these also. Is there any kind of PMBOK for PMIACP from PMI like PMP?
The course completely follows the PMI-ACP content outline. PMI has recommended eleven reference books (http://www.pmi.org/-/media/pmi/document ... sights.pdf) to cover the PMI-ACP content outline. But all the content doesn't matter for the exam perspective; thus, we have to filter according to the real exam context. And course has all the relevant content and logically
Does PMI as for SAFe, LeSS, Kanban, Nexus, DAD, DevOps in PMIACP?
PMI-ACP includes Kanban from the above list
• I have few questions regarding the content of chapter, i.e. I have few doubts in the content that is taught, where should I post it?
Post here in the forum.

There's nothing I love more than an 'on the spot' blog post, simply finding the time to sit and write is such a luxury. The sheen begins to fade a little when all this decadent free time is at 10pm, in A&E, on your birthday. Poor Florence has once again surcummed to the viral induced wheeze so we've packed our bags (I mean literally, we are proper set for a week long stay) and set up camp in the peadiatric waiting room. It's only been 3 hours, no personal best. I sure could think of better ways to celebrate a quarter of a century but it's not been so bad. I have discovered something hilariously wonderful, not quite as beautiful as the Sisterhood of Mothers but contains far more sarcastic humour; the Fellowship of A&E. After politely enquiring as to the ownership of a vacant seat we established our group. 10 of us, 6 adults, 4 kids all cramped in by the door. We've bonded over previous hospital admissions, mastered the art of buzzing people into the ward, and held lengthy debate as to which sickly infant will be called next. Was that last person going to see a real doctor or just triage? They told me we are 4th in the queue, that makes you 3rd who are the other two?! I love moments in life when you can split a pack of cheddars (excellent forward thinking) with complete strangers and simply giggle at our shared misfortune. It's one of those moments when you catch a glimpse of the best of humanity, we've helped broken ballerinas limp to chairs, point other halves in the right direction and hand out wet wipes galore. It looks like we're in for the long haul…but at least we've got a few new friends to wile away the last few birthday hours!

Imagine if Blue Velvet and Lost Highway had cinematic sexual intercourse. In this scenario, Mulholland Drive would be their bastard offspring; it starts out as an innocently ominous mystery and slowly unravels to reveal a mental copulation (aka "mind#$*&") meltdown.
On the surface, the film is the story of Betty (Naomi Watts giving a brilliant turn as a naive Midwestern girl lost in the City of Angels), a small-town girl with Hollywood dreams. While visiting her aunt, who just happens to be an Old School Hollywood dame, Betty encounters the mysterious Rita (the luscious Laura Harring) and is immediately sucked into the dark shadows lurking behind the silver tinseled veneer that is Los Angeles.
The first half of the film is like a fever dream hallucination of Blue Velvet, with Betty resembling Laura Dern's Sandy Williams in all her blonde-frocked, wholesome goodness and Rita being a sultry extension of Isabella Rossellini's Dorothy Vallens. Even the air of a vile, dirty mystery lurking beneath the otherwise austerity of these character's lives rings with velvety azure textures, if you catch my drift.
By the time the latter part of the film begins to unravel, we have entered Lost Highway territory, where Lynch has blurred the lines between dreams and reality so fiercely that you hardly know which way is up or down. Characters begin exhibiting schizophrenic behavior, weird quasi-subliminal images (Lynch's penchant for shots of fire is noticeably absent, replaced by primitive cavemen scavenging behind a 24-hour diner and other hallucinatory visions) are bandied about, and characters from Lynch's past oeuvre begin to appear, albeit in drastically altered states (Michael J. Anderson, best known as the backwards-talking "Man from Another Place" in Twin Peaks, for example). All of this is vintage Lynch, yet it somehow feels vacantly contrived this time around.
Mulholland Drive is one of those movies that leaves you confused and befuddled, not knowing whether you loved it or loathed it. At 2 hours and 26 minutes, it's a lot like watching a week's worth of episodes of some sordid soap and then you never watch it again. You get the feeling that you've been let into the middle of a story and you leave with it still unfinished. Or perhaps it's more akin to watching the pilot for a television series that will never be made. Whatever the case, it feels unfinished, as if there's more to the story than what we're given on screen. Of course this all makes sense when you discover that Lynch was originally making Mulholland Drive for ABC when the plug got pulled and in stepped France's Studio Canal to co-produce and release the film, which Lynch subsequently won Best Director honors for at Cannes.
There's no denying that Lynch's direction is finely tuned, his unique vision and attention to bizarre imaginary detail is pristine, to say the least. And the mystery portion of the film is undeniably captivating. It's the obtuse ending that's the problem. Yet frustrating as it is in the end, Mulholland Drive also manages to accomplish what so few films of the day ever do: it leaves everything open to interpretation, which in turn leads to discussion. It is, in the end, the type of film that while exasperating also beckons for a second viewing, if not to solve the mystery itself then just to be sucked in all over again.

PDVSA Halts Exports of Diluted Crude for Oct
Venezuela's state-run PDVSA has put on hold its plans to export diluted crude oil (DCO) in October as the company reviews production costs that have risen on imports of costly naphtha that it uses to mix with its extra heavy crude, traders told Reuters on Friday.
The move comes as the company scrambles to cut costs to partially solve its well-known cash flow problems. Reuters reported on Wednesday that PDVSA is considering importing Algerian Saharan Blend light crude instead of costly naphtha that it has been buying since 2013 to use for its blends. .
One of several sources who was told of the halt by the company said it might also try to raise DCO prices to better offset import costs.
"Sales of DCO are suspended, but PDVSA said it won't stop production of these crudes. It will use its facilities in the Caribbean to store them and it is even considering to use tankers for storage," one source said.
PDVSA has two storage facilities in Curacao and rents tanks in Aruba and the island of Saint Eustatius from U.S. oil firms Valero Energy and NuStar Energy. From there, it loads very large crude carriers (VLCC) to Asia.
Most of the diluted crude oil produced by PDVSA is absorbed by its U.S. refining arm, Citgo Petroleum, but other firms such as Valero and Chevron also receive cargoes regularly.
It is still not clear if putting DCO exports on hold will lead to a drop in naphtha purchases.
PDVSA recently awarded to firms Petrochina, Delaney and Noble Group a tender launched in July to import at least four 500,000 barrel cargoes of heavy naphtha for September-December.
With the world's largest reserves of crude, Venezuela's plans to start importing foreign crude have shocked the OPEC member country.
The Venezuelan company did not immediately answer requests for comments.
Another source added that PDVSA has not sent to its customers its export plan for October.
The export plan for September, including DCO shipments to different clients, will be honored, the sources added. PDVSA does not disclose its monthly production and export volumes.

Sizzling Southwestern Summer Beauty
How pretty is this? Last year I took a trip to Arizona, and I was stunned by the natural beauty of the Southwest. The red rock in Sedona, the Grand Canyon, the cacti... it's all so gorgeous! I've been dying to get back there, but until I do, I'm going to pretend I'm there by incorporating some "local color" into my beauty routine.
I've found a few products that remind me of the Southwest, which I've assembled into this handy widget. Now, you probably wouldn't want to wear all of these colors at once—it would be a little, uh, intense!—but all of them have the desert-chic thing going on. Take a look, and let me know what you think. I'm curious to see if you have any other suggestions—and if you live in the Southwest, be sure to comment and tell everyone what beauty trends are hot there right now.

- Location

You've been promising yourself that you'd get around to building that Camaro you always wanted, why not simply buy a finished one that's already done just the way you want it? This 1969 SS looks nasty in black, carries your favorite houndstooth interior, as well as a sweet-running small block and manual transmission. Why wait?
This is one of those rare Camaros that's actually still wearing its correct factory color, which is code 10 Tuxedo Black. Obviously it's not original paint, because nothing that's 45 years old could possibly look as good as the miles-deep urethane this car wears today. Prep and final finish are quite good, but not so perfect you'll be afraid to drive it. Few cars look better in black than a first-generation Camaro, and they didn't do much to change the already awesome factory look. That means an original-style hood with chrome inserts, a subtle chin spoiler, and, of course, the famous ducktail spoiler out back. Conspicuously absent are the requisite SS stripes, giving this Camaro a bit of a sleeper look that's quite appealing. The blacked-out SS grille works with the overall color scheme and the front bumper has been painted to match the body, a simple mod that makes a HUGE difference in the overall look. The rest of the stainless and chrome trim is in excellent shape, glittering against the black bodywork.
This car keeps things pretty stock inside, too, with beautiful bucket seats wearing reproduction houndstooth upholstery. One of GM's better ideas, the stylish cloth inserts look both upscale and sporty ta the same time, particularly with factory headrests on the seats. No drastic changes or even the usual upgrades, as it was important to keep this car authentic during the build, so there's no center console, although a T-handle shifter now controls the gears. This car came with factory A/C, which is now powered by modern components and R134a refrigerant, so it's effective and efficient. The front seats show some minor signs of use, but the back seat looks completely unused and the carpets are in excellent condition all around. A newer AM/FM stereo radio has been installed, but it fits right and uses stock-style buttons for an authentic look. The trunks' been restored, too, including a snug-fitting reproduction mat.
The 350 cubic inch V8 is what every SS wanted to have when it grew up. Not quite stock, it still looks right under the hood with its bright Chevy Orange paint. Black details are a great contrast to the usual chrome dress-up, including the air cleaner and valve covers, and it ties together quite nicely with the bodywork. Almost everything under the hood is either new or restored, and with a chrome EPS intake, there's just a bit of glitter that makes it stand out. Note reproduction hoses and clamps, which helps give it a genuine look, and the upgraded ignition system to light the fires. A Muncie M21 4-speed manual drives a 10-bolt rear and long-tube headers feed a dual exhaust system with correct transverse muffler. Corvette Rally wheels are fitted and wear 235/60/15 BFG radials for a timeless muscle car look.
Clean, straight, streetable Camaros don't come much better than this. If you're tired of sitting on the sidelines, this is the car that can get you into the game in a very big way. Call now!

Allen, Tom Shortridge, and Scott Bednar; Rebecca Jaramillo is the Senior Educator and Project Coordinator for NASA 360, and Harla Sherwood the Principal Investigator - all of the National Institute of Aerospace.
NASA 360 shows how NASA has changed and continues to change life on Earth by examining how technologies developed by or for NASA are being used in everything from space exploration to everyday consumer products. These include lithium ion batteries,[3] medical innovations,[4] sporting equipment,[5] and automotive and aircraft safety and efficiency,[6] among many more.[7]
NASA 360 is shot on-location at NASA centers across the country, as well as at other relevant sites across the globe. The fifth season marked the revitalization of NASA 360 and features new hosts Caleb Kinchlow and Molly McKinney, B-roll, animations, and interviews conducted with NASA researchers, engineers, and astronauts, as well as with outside sources with expertise relevant to the topics being discussed.
The show is produced for a young adult audience, and stylistically this is accomplished through the use of hand-held cameras, quick edits, and numerous transitions, effects, and filters used in post-production.
NASA 360 was originally created in 2006 by producers Kevin Krigsvold and Michael Bibbo. It was hosted by Johnny Alonso and Jennifer Pulley through 2012. 23 episodes were produced during this period.
In addition to reaching millions of viewers of traditional broadcast on over 450 stations in the U.S., including every major market, NASA 360 also has a strong presence on the internet, including more than 5.4 million Facebook[8] fans. It is also available from numerous outlets, including Hulu.com,[9] iTunes,[10] YouTube,[11] Miro Guide,[12] AOL Video,[13] Red Orbit,[14] and Truveo.[15]

Academic journal article American Journal of Psychotherapy
Book Reviews -- Experiential Guidelines: Practical Guidelines Edited by Tony Hobbes
Article excerpt
The Freudian Weltanschauung held that humans are objects in the universe--subject to unalterable natural and psychological laws. Modern behavioral science, in sharp contrast, has placed humans at the center of the universe--as much the lawmakers as subjects of natural and social laws. We are seen as capable of choice. However, this worldview recognizes that the freedom to choose necessitates a struggle with the conditions of one's existence. Choice requires an intimate awareness of one's social and psychological realities. Small groups have been recognized by behavioral scientists as the meeting ground between personality and culture.
The aim of Experiential Guidelines is to provide a purview of the benefits offered by experiential training (also called "participant learning") in workshops over didactic learning. The contributors to this volume are in accord with the ethos that didactic learning usually is restricted to information inculcation. As a unidirectional, passive reception, it does not encourage the recipients to examine their emotional attitudes and responses to the material taken in. The editor of the volume indicates that this consideration is a crucial one for many of the participants of the workshops conducted by the contributors. Their workshop attendees are to a large extent medical personnel involved in life-and-death situations. These are people who need to take initiative and active roles in their professional work. …

$76 million in unclaimed money for Queensland
Queenslanders are being urged to check for their share $76 million in unclaimed funds held by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

According to ASIC a record pool of unclaimed money from inactive bank accounts, life insurance policies and shares is sitting - waiting for your claim.
A total of $677 million dollars has gone unclaimed by Australians in 2012, and ASIC is urging you to check if any of it belongs to you.
ASIC Senior Executive Robert Drake says the millions owed to Queenslanders ranging from "five cents to close to $1 million".
With an average of $700 per individual unclaimed Mr Drake says there is a very good reason to make sure you update your address when you move.
"The money comes 3 main reasons...the first from dormant bank accounts that haven't been touched; life insurance policies; and money owing to people from shares where the company has been taking over."
Residents of Brisbane are owed over $31 million dollars, $8.1 million for residents of the Gold Coast and $3.4 million to Cairns residents.
Mr Drake says the largest sum of money sitting unclaimed by an individual in Queensland was $162,000 after shares the individual owned became the subject of a compulsory acquisition.
The majority of unclaimed funds originate with individuals, but Mr Drake says community groups and organisations often have unclaimed funds too.
"Some of the larger amounts for Queensland, which is a bit unusual, are company accounts and it's a bit hard to track what's going on there.
"I was playing around before and found out the school my son attends - the P&C committee has $700 owed in an old bank account."
He says ASIC is eager to reunite people with "the larger amounts" that remain unclaimed, but on average the amount owed to individuals is approximately $700.
How does the money end up with ASIC?
ASIC holds money from bank, credit union and building society accounts that have not been used in 7 years and contain a balance of $500 or more, and the money will sit with the Commonwealth Government until you claim it.
Mr Drake says after money has been transferred into Trust ASIC attempt to contact people who are owed the big sums, but often without much luck.
"It's hard to track people down without the right contact information. We do our best; we go through the electoral role, and the phone book."
"The money stays there forever, just waiting for someone to claim it."
"It's worth searching for your relatives, and even family members that have died 5 or 10 years ago, where its only now that money might be coming to the surface."
Queensland Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer and Member for Oxley, Bernie Ripoll praised the Federal Government initiative saying the funds are protected from fees and charges while being held in trust by ASIC.
"Once it's held by government and on the ASIC site, then interest is paid on those accounts and they will at least maintain their value over time."
Mr Ripoll told ABC Local Radio that the largest unclaimed amount in Queensland was registered to a Brisbane bank account to the value of $203,000, and a number of other large amounts.
"In Cannon Hill there is one account for $155,000; in Port Douglas one for $140,000 and one in Cleveland $133,000."
He says in the Ipswich region alone, $2.2 million is held unclaimed.
Last year only $56 million dollars was claimed across Australia from a potential pool of over $600 million.
ASIC is urging people to check the moneysmart.gov.au website for their family, relatives and neighbours.
"It's real simple, just type the name in. You can also type the name of your town or your suburb," Mr Drake says.
Over 60,000 people had accessed the moneysmart.gov.au website by 1:30pm AEST today.

Escalating violence in Sri Lanka involving government forces and separatist rebels has raised fears that the island could return to civil war. International pressure is intensifying for immediate peace talks.
At least 40 Sri Lankan Army and Navy personnel have been killed so far this month - including 10 Tuesday - in attacks blamed on the Tamil Tiger rebels, who seek an independent homeland for Sri Lanka's minority Tamils and control territory in the island's north and east.
The recent violence is the worst in Sri Lanka since a fragile cease-fire instituted in 2002 largely quelled a bloody 20-year civil war that cost over 64,000 lives. The cease-fire gave rise to a peace process that stalled in 2003. Early optimism this year that the tsunami would reinvigorate the peace talks faded after disagreements over aid sharing and the Nov. 17 election of a new president with hard-line allies.
Although analysts say the cease-fire has effectively been broken, the country is not yet at civil war and Sri Lanka's armed forces have not retaliated to every Tiger attack. The reluctance to abandon the agreement leaves open the chance for peace talks to resume.
"One thing is pretty certain - both sides will really hesitate to call off the cease-fire formally," says Charu Hogg, an associate fellow of the Asia programme at Chatham House, an international affairs thinktank in London. On Friday the government said it would show restraint even though its patience was "wearing thin."
The formal cease-fire agreement has value to both sides as one of the few remaining points of common ground. Its demise, says Colombo-based political analyst Rohan Edrisinha, "would create a tremendous vacuum."
The election of President Mahinda Rajapakse, who rejects the rebels' key demand for an independent homeland, has widened the gap between the two sides. The Tigers say the Tamils need a homeland because they are discriminated against by Sri Lanka's majority Sinhalese community.
The past round of talks focused on federalism - giving the Tamils some autonomy within their region - as a possible compromise solution. The talks ignited a power struggle within the Sri Lankan government after the former president said the negotiators had ceded too much to the rebels. The rebels ultimately backed out of the talks, perhaps, say analysts, because of disquiet over selling out independence.
Mr. Rajapakse's public comments suggest that he, too, will be reluctant to give the Tamils a level of autonomy that could threaten the unity of the state - a stance that has angered the Tigers. After the presidential election, Velupillai Prabhakaran, the Tigers' leader, threatened a return to war if no political settlement emerged within the next year.
"The Tigers are reminding Sri Lanka's new president of their military capability," says Mr. Edrisinha. "They're telling the president not to be unrealistic in his dealings with them."
On Saturday, a delegation representing the four co-chairs - the European Union, Japan, Norway, and the US - of a 2003 conference that promised $4.5 billion in aid to Sri Lanka tied to progress in peace talks, visited the Tigers' stronghold after calling for an "immediate end" to violence.
"Failure to demonstrate a willingness to change would not be without serious consequences," the co-chairs said in a statement issued earlier in Brussels, without specifying those consequences. The co-chairs also urged the Sri Lankan government to ensure "paramilitary groups" ceased their activities.
Both Rajapakse and the Tigers have said they are prepared to negotiate towards peace.
Rajapakse invited Norway to continue as peace mediator, after throwing doubt on its role during his presidential election campaign. He wants regional power India to play a bigger role in Sri Lanka's peace track too and is now visiting New Delhi. However, few see India wanting to get more deeply involved.
The Tigers welcomed the invitation extended to Norway, but they want to hold talks in Oslo while Mr. Rajapakse prefers Asia. The two sides have yet to agree on a venue.
Norway has insisted both the Tigers and the Sri Lankan government meet certain publicly unspecified conditions before it accepts Rajapakse's invitation to continue as mediator.
"Norway wants both sides to be committed to the cease-fire," says Jehan Perera, a director of the National Peace Council of Sri Lanka in Colombo. "Apart from that, I think Norway wants the government to give an assurance that certain of its coalition allies, which have been publicly denouncing the Norwegians, will be restrained from doing so."
Perera thinks the coalition allies will eventually give their approval, at which point the "government will be able to say they are ready and committed to starting the talks, and that it will do everything possible on its side to see that there are no incidents of violence."
However, analysts say the situation is extremely volatile given the rise in violence and the wide gap between the two sides' stated positions on the Tigers' desire for an independent homeland.
Edrisinha says the Tigers may want greater independence than is implied by federalism. "In order to achieve that, the Tigers probably want some more military success," he says. "There might be a brief period of fighting before any possibility of negotiations resurfaces. Hopefully the fighting, though it may be intense, will be short-lived."

Cities and towns on the South Shore are on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars they will owe to retired employees and most have saved little or nothing to cover the cost.
Ann Whalen knows the city of Brockton has a big problem looming when it comes to paying for health care for its retired employees. But when she joins their ranks in less than two weeks, she won't let it concern her.
"I'm retiring. I can't worry about it," Whalen said, who is departing her office job in the Finance Department after more than 29 years. "I can't complain. The city has been generous while I've been working."
Brockton is generous toward its retired workers and their spouses, picking up 75 percent to 90 percent of the cost of their health insurance.
The big problem is the city is on the hook for more than $693.6 million in accrued health care costs for its retirees – and has nothing saved to pay these bills.
Brockton is not alone.
Local towns are also facing steep costs for their retired workers' health benefits, and most have not set aside any funds to pay the tab, according to a recent GateHouse News Media survey. For instance:
Abington has an accrued health care liability of $47.9 million – and has saved nothing.
Easton has accrued $104.9 million, and has set aside nothing toward paying the tab.
Stoughton's health care liability is $154.4 million, and, again, the town has no savings to pay this bill.
Rockland Town Administrator Allan Chiocca said the $10,000 that town has saved toward its nearly $69 million liability is small, but it's a start.
"It doesn't begin to even scratch the surface," he said. "It's an indication we recognize that it is an issue and has to be addressed."
Chiocca said the focus on retiree benefit costs also means municipal leaders will have to take a closer look at what they're promising to employees in union contracts.
Brockton Mayor Linda Balzotti calls health insurance for retired public employees "one of the biggest issues the city is going to face" – one that will require leadership from state and local elected officials and unions.
"Everybody is going to have to work together. Working with unions, workers, everyone to find the best way to address it," she said.
The city is currently paying for health care benefits for 603 city-side workers, 1,757 school workers and 2,588 retired workers.
The city would need to set aside more than $60.3 million every year to fully fund that liability – as well as pay ongoing retiree health care bills.
John Condon, Brockton's chief financial officer, said it's going to be a "very difficult" problem to solve.
"The longer you wait, the more expensive it is to fix it," he said.
Balzotti and Condon agreed the cost of paying for retiree health benefits in Brockton will reach a crisis point in five to 10 years. To get a handle on that burden between now and then will require a combination of benefit reduction, savings and state assistance, Condon said.
The Brockton City Council passed up an opportunity to cut employee health benefits outside of collective bargaining in February when the council rejected a legislative option to adopt health insurance plans modeled after the state insurance plan, the Group Insurance Commission.
That move would have saved the city $4.9 million in the upcoming budget year, but councilors said they wanted to give collective bargaining a chance. Now, municipal unions are in negotiations with the city over cuts to the health care benefits they currently enjoy.
The 108 towns and cities in eastern Massachusetts that responded to GateHouse Media's survey as of June 19 reported a combined long-term health care liability of nearly $12.7 billion.
Combined, these communities reported saving roughly $97.3 million toward retiree health care, which is less than 10 percent of the long-term liability.
"Over time, it will take more and more of the budget," said Michael Widmer, president of the business-backed Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation, which issued two recent reports critical of retiree health care costs. "There's no dodging it."

Oilers 3, Islanders 2, OTNHL.com @NHL
EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) -Sheldon Souray scored the game-winner with just 2:15 to play giving the Edmonton Oilers a 3-2 victory over the New York Islanders on Wednesday night, spoiling the preseason debut of John Tavares.
Sam Gagner and Dustin Penner also scored for the Oilers (2-0). Bruno Gervais and Calvin de Haan tallied goals for the Islanders (0-2).
Tavares, the top pick in the NHL draft this summer, was held scoreless in the contest. The OHL phenom was battling flu symptoms Monday and was unavailable for the Islanders' first exhibition game against the Canucks.
"Early on I felt pretty good and though I did some good things out there," Tavares said. "But as the game went on I felt what you need to be in proper game shape for this level, for sure."
Islanders coach Scott Gordon said they aren't putting too much pressure on the highly touted youngster at this point.
"If he scores 50 goals and adds 50 assists this year, that would be a great start for him," Gordon joked. "Quite honestly, just like the rest of our younger players, we want him to grow and develop through the course of the year. The first half for him is probably going to be about getting acclimated to the pro game and getting familiar with our system of play, just like it was for Josh Bailey."
The Islanders took a 1-0 lead on Gervais' slapshot 6:30 into the first period.
After a scoreless second period, Edmonton tied it midway through the third period when Andrew Cogliano sprung Penner on a partial break and his wrister beat goaltender Nathan Lawson.
Edmonton then took the 2-1 lead 2 minutes later as Gagner snuck out from behind the net and was able to stuff home a backhander.
New York evened the score with just under 5 minutes left when de Haan put a screened shot from the slot past Jeff Delauriers, who came into the Edmonton net midway through the game.
Souray's game-winner was set up by Gagner who had a two-point night.
Oilers head coach Pat Quinn was glad to see Souray put the puck in the net after seeing his shot break two sheets of glass behind the New York net in the second period.
"I would rather see it break the net than the glass," he said. "We know he can fire that thing with such great velocity. That has been his bread and butter for a lot of years. I'm sure the Rexall building people aren't very happy with him right now."

The feverish effort to reduce the number of prisoners in the Broward County jail system appeared to be making headway Friday as the inmate count fell below 1,500 for the first time in weeks.
U.S. District Judge William Hoeveler has told county officials that he will order prisoner releases in another two weeks to relieve crowding. Faced with that prospect, county officials have taken a series of steps to lower the prison population.
Sheriff Nick Navarro, ignoring a contract he has with Prison Transport Services, rented Gray Line buses and took deputies off other duties to ship a total of 87 prisoners to the state prison system this week.
Navarro complained that breakdowns with the transport service`s vehicles were delaying shipments of prisoners to the state prison system.
Deputy court clerks are working overtime to process the necessary paper work before the inmates are transferred to state prisons, more judges are hearing criminal cases, and additional magistrate court sessions are being held.
``I`ve got to give everybody the credit on this one,`` Navarro said.
Although the judges, sheriff and County Commission appear to be working together, there has been considerable discord among the group. In fact, county commissioners are still considering suing Circuit Judge Miette Burnstein to force her to assign even more judges to criminal cases.
Meanwhile, County Commissioner Nicki Grossman met Friday with Gov. Bob Graham in Fort Lauderdale and asked him to assign assistant state attorneys and public defenders from other areas to Broward on a temporary basis.
The number of prisoners, which fluctuates daily, fell to 1,469 Friday morning. The capacity of the system totals 1,442.
However, Hoeveler doesn`t use the total capacity figure. Rather, he uses a series of different figures that add up to the total.
Each jail is divided into areas set aside for prisoners based on their sex and the seriousness of their crime. Those areas are designed to hold a specific number of prisoners. One area can be crowded while another is under capacity.
Therefore, the county could have fewer than 1,442 prisoners, but still have too many prisoners in one part of the jail.

Q: Earlier this year, you wrote the article "Source Control Basics: Shelving, Branching, and Merging" in which you made it clear that you weren't a fan of merging changes in source control. I agree. I recently installed Team Foundation Server (TFS) and set it up to be our corporate source-control library. Soon thereafter we found that multiple developers could, by default, access the same source file at the same time. Then at check-in, they were suddenly presented with a requirement to merge these changes. In some cases, the merge was relatively painless. In other cases, the merge was painful and has introduced errors. How do we disable this default?
A: I received several email messages about the "Source Control Basics: Shelving, Branching, and Merging" article. Another reader had wrote and said, "In your article 'Source Control Basics: Shelving, Branching, and Merging,' you claim that merging is bad. I completely disagree. My organization couldn't function effectively if multiple people weren't working on the same source files."
As you can tell, these two readers' merging experiences and opinions are diametrically opposed. The good news for the first reader is that you can avoid the situation entirely.
When you install TFS, the default is to allow for shared check-out of code files. This means that if developer Andrew has started editing a file on his local machine, then developer Betty also starts independently editing the same file on her machine, TFS, by default, lets them. Andrew and Betty might be completely unaware that someone else is editing the file because TFS doesn't tell them when a file is already checked out.
However, one of the developers will become aware of the situation during check-in. Suppose that Betty finishes editing the file first. She checks in her code with no problem. But when Andrew goes to check in his code, TFS will stop the check-in process and ask him to merge the changes. At this point, he'll generally have a couple options related to merging.
The first option is to allow TFS to automatically merge the changes. When this option appears, it means that the developers who had simultaneously checked out the source file had changed different lines of code. From TFS's standpoint, this type of merging is easy, but selecting this option isn't risk free. For example, Andrew and Betty might have both added the same line of code, but Andrew put his line of code at the top of a function whereas Betty put her line of code at the bottom of the function. Because they put the same line of code at different locations, TFS will include two copies of that line of code, which is an error waiting to happen.
The second option is to use the Merge Tool to manually merge changes. The bad news is that one developer (Andrew in this case) gets stuck with extra work. The good news is that the Merge Tool is fairly powerful. The tool highlights those changes it feels incapable of merging so that the person merging the code can select the change he or she wants to apply. That person can actually edit the resulting choice.
In theory, being able to manually merge changes sounds great. In the real world, however, I've found that manually merging changes can result in new errors and lost changes. In one instance, a client started experiencing problems after a mere 40 hours of development time. The problems started within the first day or two, but reached a head on the day of software cutoff. We had to spend so much time merging one developer's changes that the cost of making those changes to the application doubled. Some developers also claimed their changes were lost because of merging. The net result was chaos at a time when we were trying to manage what should have been a simple software cutoff scenario. Because of this experience and similar experiences with other clients, our policy as of last week is to always turn off shared check-out.
Here's how to disable shared check-out: Within Team Explorer (aka Visual Studio 2005) go to the Team menu. (You'll have this menu only if you've installed Team Explorer and are connected to a TFS server.) Select Team Foundation Server Settings, then the Source Control File Types option. A dialog box listing a variety of file types will appear. This dialog box has three columns, the first two of which contain the name of the file type (e.g., VB Files) and file extensions associated with that type of file (e.g., .vb). In the third column, which is labeled File Merging, you can specify whether you want to allow shared check-outs for that file type. To change the value in this column, click the Edit button. In the dialog box that appears, clear the "Enable file merging and multiple check out" check box.
That's it. You've now prevented multiple check-outs for files of that type. Even if a developer specifically requests a shared check-out, TFS won't let it happen.
