Coconut French Toast with Berries
Something for the forthcoming weekend :) We usually have pancakes or crepes on Saturday mornings, and try to go for a coffee in a nice café on Sunday mornings. I cannot make pancakes, so K. is our Saturday morning chef :) However, sometimes we stay in on Sunday mornings as well, and then I have to come up with a special breakfast. Last Sunday we had these lovely coconut french toast with berries on our sunny balcony. I make French toast quite often, but always with the traditional egg-and-milk mixture. These are made without eggs, making them a somewhat lighter option.
Coconut French Toast with Berries
(Vaesed rüütlid kookospiimaga)
Serves 4
8 slices of white bread (f.ex. bloomer)
200 ml creamy coconut milk
1 tsp cinnamon
butter, for frying
To serve:
250 g plain yogurt
1 tsp vanilla sugar
a heaped cup of raspberries and blueberries/bilberries
First, make the toast. Mix cinnamon and coconut milk in a deep plate. Dip both sides of the bread slices into the coconut milk.
Heat some butter on a non-stick frying pan and fry the bread slices on both sides until golden brown. Place onto a plate.
For the sauce, season the yogurt with vanilla, then gently stir in the berries. Spoon the sauce of the coconut french toast slices.

Ryan - thank you!
Marisa - that would be a nice tough indeed. Or perhaps some freshly grated coconut instead?
Gitte - it's a nice difference from the "usual" French toast!
Magdalena - it does indeed!

Houston Dynamo at Montreal Impact
Wednesday, June 19, 7:00 p.m. CT
Stade Saputo
CSN Plus - 7:00 p.m. (6:30 p.m. pregame) CHANNEL LISTINGS
Yahoo! Sports Radio 1560 AM - 7:00 p.m. (6:30 p.m. pregame)
La Ranchera 850 AM - 7:00 p.m. (6:30 p.m. pregame)
A huge match atop the Eastern Conference is ahead on Wednesday night as the Montréal Impact play host to the Houston Dynamo at Stade Saputo. The Impact still lead the Eastern Conference despite returning to action last weekend with a 2-0 loss at the Columbus Crew. The Dynamo sit in a logjam just four points back of the Impact, their last league match coming nearly three weeks ago in a 1-1 draw with Columbus.
Chris Penso; AR1 (bench): Matthew Kreitzer; AR2 (opposite): Peter Balciunas; 4th: Mark Kadlecik MLS Career: 38 games; FC/gm: 23.2; Y/gm: 2.8; R: 8; pens: 13
HOUSTON DYNAMO -- OUT: Calen Carr – Left knee; Anthony Arena – right ankle sprain
MONTREAL IMPACT -- OUT: Nelson Rivas – Left Knee; Maxim Tissot – Toe fracture; Davy Arnaud – concussion-like symptoms
- ALL-TIME (3): Impact 1 win, 5 goals … Dynamo 1 win, 6 goals … Ties 1
- AT Montreal (1 meeting): Impact 1 win, 4 goals … Dynamo 0 wins, 2 goals … Ties 0
- FUTURE MATCH: 8/24: Montreal Impact vs Houston Dynamo , 6 p.m. CT; 10/4: Montreal Impact vs. Houston Dynamo, 7:30 p.m. CT
The teams evenly split their three meetings in Montréal's inaugural MLS season, each winning once at home. The third match, at BBVA Compass Stadium, was a draw.
- Coaches record: Marco Schallibaum vs. HOU: first game … Dominic Kinnear vs. MTL: P3 W1 L1 T1
The Dynamo took the lead in the 31st minute. Dynamo right back Kofi Sarkodie sped down the right flank before whipping a low cross to the center of the box. An unmarked Warren Creavalle timed his run through the channel perfectly and one-timed the ball past goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum.
But the Crew were level in the 69th minute. Defender Chad Barson went down under Andrew Driver's challenge in the box and referee Allen Chapman pointed to the spot. Federico Higuaín converted with a powerful shot for the eventual equalizer.
Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made two changes to the team that reached a 1-1 draw with Sporting Kansas City at Sporting Park. Jason Johnson and Warren Creavalle with Brad Davis and Boniek Garcia away on international duty.
HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-1-3-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Ricardo Clark, Eric Brunner (Anthony Arena 20), Corey Ashe - Adam Moffat (Luiz Camargo 46) - Jason Johnson, Warren Creavalle, Andrew Driver - Giles Barnes (Mike Chabala 84), Will Bruin.
The Dynamo have now gone four games without a victory, their longest winless run of the season. They have played to four 1-1 draws over their last eight games.
"I thought we had some good possession and some decent looks. You knew they were going to take some chances going forward and if that's a penalty, then there you go … a tie's a tie," said Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear.
Warren Creavalle made his second start of the season, his first since March 23, and netted his third goal of the campaign. Two of the goals have come in his two starts.
"When young guys or new guys come on the field it could've been a really bad game or a good game," goalkeeper Tally Hall said. "I think the team mentality that guys come in and just come into this core circle where everyone's on the same page and everyone's giving what they've got for the team and that's what happened."
The Dynamo were forced into an early change against Columbus as center back Eric Brunner took a blow to the head. Already without Jermaine Taylor because of international duty and Bobby Boswell through suspension and with Ricardo Clark deputizing in central defense, rookie Anthony Arena made his full professional debut, coming on in the 20th minute.
Jason Johnson was also called upon for his first start of the season, playing wide on the right of midfield and lasting the full 90 minutes.
"Anthony as a center back to come in and just adjust to the game as fast as he did in his first MLS minutes ever I thought he was very good," Hall said. "J.J. [Johnson] I thought was a handful all night in his first start. It's exciting."
In addition to getting their international campaigners back in the fold, there could be another addition on the horizon with Omar Cummings having returned to full training. "It was good to see him out on the field," said Kinnear. "We've gone pretty deep as far as our squad goes in regards to getting minutes. To have someone like him on the field, and playing and not just jogging, is a good thing."
Following their league match, the Dynamo were eliminated from the U.S. Open Cup in the fourth round following a 3-0 loss to FC Dallas, who got two goals from Kenny Cooper.
Here's the Dynamo team: Tyler Deric, Mike Chabala, Bobby Boswell, Ricardo Clark, Kofi Sarkodie, Warren Creavalle, Luiz Camargo, Alex Dixon (Cam Weaver 71), Will Bruin (Brian Ching 62), Andrew Driver, Jason Johnson (Omar Cummings 79).

MORRISTOWN, N.J. (MarketWatch) — The stock market continues to rise in a slow-motion fashion. The rise has been so uniform, but dampened, that daily extremes have not been reached.
However, more intermediate-term indicators are now overbought. "Overbought" doesn't mean sell, though. In fact, a market can continue to rise strongly during an overbought condition (such as the current one), just as it can fall sharply even though it is "oversold" (witness the fall of 2008, for example). Hence, bulls can enjoy the rise, while potential bears and other sellers must await an actual break of the uptrend before taking action.
The Standard & Poors 500 Index SPX, -2.59% is setting records this January, as it has already risen 5.7% this month. The rise has been steadily and unspectacular. SPX is now trading at its highest levels since December 2007. The all times highs of October 2007, at 1,576 are now in sight, although there is some resistance at 1,520. If an overbought correction does materialize — as it well might — there should be support in the 1,460-1,470 area.
The equity-only put-call ratios, which are generally very good intermediate-term technical indicators, are struggling to find a trend in this market. These ratios have been wavering back and forth at relatively low levels on their charts. The low levels indicate an overbought condition, but the lack of trend is due to a battle between call buyers (following the trend of the market) and put buyers (traders buying cheap puts for protection).
These buyers of cheap puts are hedgers; I doubt they are negative on the market. Rather, they own stocks and they own puts. They would prefer that stocks continue to rise. However, their put-buying activity has become quite voluminous of late since puts are cheap and since many pundits are recommending that puts be bought for protection. As a result, they are distorting the put-call ratios to some extent. These put-call ratios work best when speculative trading can be isolated; hedging distorts them. Thus, they are somewhat distorted right now. Once a clear trend redevelops, they will be more useful again.
Market breadth has been strong during this rally. As a result, our breadth indicators are on buy signals. However, they are also overbought, as the accumulation of daily advances over declines has gotten too be too overpowering. This market is a classic example of the fact that an emerging bullish trend can feed off of overbought conditions. What is also amazing is that there hasn't been a single "90% up day" since Jan. 2 — which was the day after congress avoided the fiscal cliff. Hence, the buying this month has been steady but not overdone. That is probably why it has been able to continue for so long.
Volatility indexes VIX, +19.12% XX:VXO are extremely low and seem to show no signs of expanding. As long as VIX continues to close below 14, it is considered bullish for stocks. VIX recently closed at the lowest levels since May 2007. But then VIX was on its way up from lows around 10, while now it is on its way down. Hopefully, VIX won't get down to 10 again, because the market is boring at that volatility.
Other volatility measures are in agreement: the Composite Implied Volatility (CIV) of all stock options shows that the average stock's options are in the sixth percentile of implied volatility. That, too, is very low (overbought), but as long as it stays down there, stocks can continue to rally (a sell signal would be generated if the CIV rose to the 17th percentile, which seems like miles away at this point).
The low levels of VIX have contributed to a bullish construct in the VIX futures. That is the futures are trading with sizable premiums to VIX itself, and the term structure of the VIX futures continues to slope steeply upward. Some argue that the fact that longer-term VIX futures are trading with large premiums means that "smart" money thinks there will be a large jump in volatility six to eight months from now. That is not true. Rather, with VIX at such low levels, it is quite natural for the term structure to slope steeply upward.
It doesn't mean traders are bearish; rather, it merely means that market makers and traders are pricing longer-term SPX options with implied volatilities closer to average volatility levels. The longer term an option is, the more likely it is implied volatility is predicted to be near its long term average volatility. That is just a function of market making and option pricing and has nothing to do with a prediction of a volatility explosion at some longer term future date.
In summary, it may be tempting to short this market or to at least try to catch a short-term correction, because of the massive overbought conditions. However, until there is some break in the trend — either in price of in volatility — it will likely not pay to bet against the trend. For example, SPX hasn't closed below a previous day's low all year. One should at least wait for that to happen before trying to time a sell in this market. Also, until volatility starts to pick up, there won't be a trading correction, either.
At a minimum VIX would have to close above 14 in order to give sellers some hope. Lacking that, the bulls will continue to push this market higher.

Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2013 | Runway
Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2013
Maison Martin Margiela Spring 2013
The space where Maison Martin Margiela showed its Spring 2013 collection was made to look like a typically luxurious Paris salon, fireplaces and wainscoting included, all of which was covered up with white plastic sheeting. Only the ornate chandeliers hung from the ceiling poked through the material. The clothes themselves were a bit more direct, and almost simplistic save for a few jarring pieces and treatments designed, perhaps, to remind the audience that it was at a Margiela show. An oversize gray t-shirt, for example, skimmed the ground in the gown section of the show, following some elegant black exercises in evening dresses. The show's straightforward bent might have something to do with its much-anticipated collaboration with H&M, but whether the capsule will contain any cape-like navy blue dresses made of crinoline remains to be seen.

I stopped by a Staples yesterday and found that they had these Staples Strata .5 retractable gel pens and Strata .5 liquid ink rollers. Both of these are needle point, and they had them for Buy One Get One, so they were $7.99 for both. I'm excited to review them and see if there is a new house-brand favorite; my current is favorite is Office Max's Tul .5 retractable needle point gel, so I am excited to see how they compare.
You can also see some Sarasas in there, but I will get to that in a second.
Alright, so Staples has these multicolored packs of Zebra Sarasas in a .7, and they are only $4/pack, plus you get a free pack attached to the back. 10 Zebra Sarasas for $4? Sign me up!
They also have the black Sarasas at $4, with a free pack. 20 black Sarasas for $8!
And lastly, I have never tried the Pilot EasyTouch Pro (otherwise known as the Acroball) in the blue or red, so I thought I would give them a shot. These will also be good to bring to work - better than the standard issue Bic Atlantis, at least.
I also acquired a pack of the Staples Mini Gel Pens (.8). I primarily got these because my girlfriend uses the tiny gel refills in her Zebra Expandz pen, but they are very expensive for what you get, so I thought she could try these and see if she likes them.
So, stay tuned for more reviews. I have already tried playing with a few of these, but I don't want to spoil it until the actual review. Check back soon!

|MLBPA Press Release
Mauer, 26, provided the offensive spark that helped the Twins capture the AL Central Division title, despite trailing the Detroit Tigers by seven games at the start of September. After missing the first month of the season, Mauer returned to the lineup in May and went on to become the first catcher in Major League history to lead the league in average (.365), on-base percentage (.444) and slugging percentage (.587) in a single year. His 28 home runs and 96 RBI were career highs, and this season he became the first catcher to win three batting crowns. A native of St. Paul, MN, and drafted by the hometown Twins with the first overall pick in the 2001 June Draft, Mauer has now appeared in three All-Star Games. This is Mauers first Players Choice Award.
Pujols, 29, captured his seventh Players Choice Award by finishing first among all National Leaguers in home runs (47), runs scored (124), on-base percentage (.443) and slugging percentage (.658), second in doubles (45) and third in batting average (.327), RBI (135) and walks (115). His continued offensive dominance helped propel the Cardinals to their fourth NL Central Division championship in six seasons. Pujols has previously been honored by his peers with Players Choice Awards as Player of the Year and NL Outstanding Player in 2003 and 2008, Marvin Miller Man of the Year in 2006 and NL Outstanding Rookie in 2001.

It's shaping up to be a very Nintendo holiday season.
This Sunday's launch of the Wii U, the first of the next generation videogame consoles, seems all set to follow the script that most new gaming systems follow: A huge rush of initial sales, followed by weeks of people camping outside of stores on weekends in hopes of grabbing one before Dec. 25. (Read More: Will Electronic Device Sales Light Up the Holidays )
The question is: What happens after the holidays are over?

Unfortunately, when it comes to dining out, negative experiences are more memorable than positive ones. Because of this, you can be sure if any diners have a bad time at your restaurant, it won't be long before their family, friends, neighbours or even casual acquaintances know about it. One thing is for certain though; the worst reputation you can get is one of poor hygiene.
While few can honestly say that they enjoy cleaning, there is some satisfaction to be gained from a job well done. Cleaning should be considered as part of the necessary preparation involved with handling or cooking food. Just as an oven needs to be preheated before a joint of meat goes in, surfaces need to be scrubbed, scoured and wiped before food can be prepared on them. These activities do not need to become a massive chore; once initiated into a routine, staff should be able to complete these actions effectively and regularly. Some chores will require a 'clean as you go' approach, others may need to be done daily and some less frequently still. It is important that all staff are aware of what needs doing and when to ensure that the correct level of hygiene is maintained all day, every day.
Aside from the obvious reasons to clean in areas where food is prepared, such as to avoid contamination and make a good impression on customers, there are other things to consider too. As well as keeping bacteria at bay, cleaning also reduces opportunities for bacterial multiplication by removing food particles and a clean area is also much less likely to attract pests. Keeping on top of spillages is also vital for safety in the kitchen as accidents can occur on wet or greasy floors which make it easy to slip. Finally, food establishment owners have a legal obligation to maintain food safety standards to a certain level.
Local authorities are responsible for producing a Food Law Enforcement Plan which identifies measures they will take each year within their area to ensure food safety within food businesses. Businesses therefore need to create and follow a cleaning schedule which can help them maintain a satisfactory status and avoid embarrassing cases of contamination.
So how should food businesses structure their cleaning to make sure it is of a high enough standard?
Six Stages of Cleaning
Stage 1 – Pre-clean. Remove loose and heavy soiling, for example, scrape plates and chopping boards, or soak pans.
Stage 2 – Main clean. Wash with hot water and detergent.
Stage 3 – Rinse. Remove any traces of detergent and food particles with clean hot water.
Stage 4 – Disinfection. Use a chemical disinfectant, and leave it on for the correct contact time.
Stage 5 – Final rinse. Use clean hot water.
Stage 6 – Dry. If possible, leave items to dry naturally in the air, because the use of drying cloths can spread bacteria. If you have to use a cloth try to use disposable paper ones.
The development of a cleaning schedule is an employer's responsibility. It should set out which tasks should be done, how certain areas should be cleaned and who is responsible for each task. Plenty of time should be allowed to ensure that all cleaning duties are carried out to a satisfactory level.

The best reason to buy an iPhone instead of an Android phone made by Samsung or HTC is that the iPhone has a much better app selection.
Otherwise, the phones are pretty much equal these days. Some would even say Samsung and HTC phones are better because they have bigger screens.
Google, which makes Android, is run by some pretty smart people, so it's working to fix the apps problem.
Google has recently taken two steps toward this goal:
The first: It made Sundar Pichai the head of Android, replacing Andy Rubin. While Rubin is a product visionary he also has a reputation for not being great at working with partners. Pichai, meanwhile, made his career at Google convincing computer manufacturers to pre-install the Google Toolbar. He is seen by colleagues as someone third-party developers will be more excited to work with. Pichai is also expected to be more friendly with Samsung, which is making the kind of high-end phones that users who want to use apps like to buy. The more consumers of apps there are on the Android platform, the more app developers will build for it.
The second: Google is cracking down on spam inside its version of the App Store, called Play Store. TechCrunch reports that 60,000 spammy apps vanished from Play Store in February. In theory, getting rid of junk the Play Store should make it a more appealing place for consumers to go and try out new apps.

CHICOPEE, MA-The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's swimming team split their dual meet with host Elms at the Partyka Natatorium Saturday.
The women won, 139-117, while, while the men lost, 133-123.
For the women, junior Katelyn Kidney (Lynn, MA / Lynn Classical) won the 100 butterfly in 1:12.24, the 50 butterfly in 33.22 seconds, and the 400 freestyle in 4:50.20. Senior Meredith Maki (Holden, MA/Wachusett Regional HS) won the 200 freestyle in 2:22.40 and the 50 backstroke in 35.93 seconds, junior Morgan Cooper (Sunderland, MA/Frontier Regional HS) took the 100 freestyle in 1:03.95, and senior Maggie Conlon (Methuen, MA/Methuen HS) won the 100 backstroke in 1:14.76. Maki, freshman Caroline Corcoran (West Boylston, MA/ West Boylston), Kidney and Conlon took the 200 medley relay in 2:17.50.
On the men's side, freshman Justin Floeck (Middleboro, MA/Middleboro HS) won the 200 freestyle in 2:07.74, the 50 freestyle in 26.23 seconds, and the 100 freestyle in 57.50 seconds. Freshman Bryan Baranick (Assonet, MA/Apponequet HS) won the 800 freestyle in 9:37.83, senior Kevin Janofsky (Brookfield, CT/Brookfield HS) took the 400 freestyle in 4:47.97, and the 200 freestyle relay team of sophomore Tim Doucette (Middleboro, MA/Middleboro HS), Janofsky, freshman David Chabot (Rockland, MA/Cardinal Spellman HS) and Floeck was first in 1:47.83.
"We had two great meets today," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Cathy Motta. "I am extremely proud of how all of our athletes performed. Unfortunately, the men came up just short. It is always a challenge swimming at Elms, since their pool is 25 meters, and it requires our athletes to make adjustments to the way they race."
UMass Dartmouth's women are now 4-1, while the men are now 2-3. The Elms men are now 4-0, while the women are 1-5. The Corsairs will break for the semester, returning to action when they host Simmons January 16th. The Blazers will visit Bridgewater on January 9th.

6 innovative and inexpensive Twitter campaigns to emulate
A clever hashtag and attentiveness to customers may be all you need to spark excitement about your brand on Twitter.
You can't watch television—or TV ads—without seeing a conspicuous hashtag in the lower corner of your screen.
And while Instagram, Facebook and Google+ have incorporated hashtags with different levels of success, for most people hashtags are synonymous with Twitter. While hashtags are the most popular example, a lot of businesses do other creative things on Twitter to engage their customers.
Let's examine some ways businesses have used hashtags, promoted tweets, javascript buttons, exclusive offers and customer care to create innovative Twitter campaigns for marketing and customer service.
1. Comedy Central's #trumproast
Before hashtags were prevalent, it was unheard of to display a hashtag on the screen during a television program. To promote the "Roast of Donald Trump," Comedy Central displayed the hashtag "#trumproast" on-screen. This resulted in 25,000 tweets during the initial transmission and drove Comedy Central's television viewership higher than it had ever been for that time slot.
Now television shows such as "The X Factor" produce upwards of 100,000 tweets per episode.
Twitter hashtags allow people to find a community with a shared experience, which in turn sparks additional interest in the event. Hashtag use like this is scalable so long as participants use Twitter and the event hashtag is prominently displayed.
2. The Minnesota State Patrol's #IWantThatHat
Often, trending hashtags will be comical phrases users will creatively riff off. For example, as I write this, #HowToAskAGirlToHomecoming is trending. The Twitterverse is populated with tweets like this:
#HowToAskAGirlToHomecoming pic.twitter.com/z3Tz6aVaJU
— Tweet Like A Girl (@TweetLikeAGirI) September 5, 2013
With this context, the Minnesota State Patrol initiated a social media recruitment campaign around the hashtag "#IWantThatHat." The results were great. From the interest the campaign produced through frequently scheduled tweets that brandished the nontraditional hashtag, the Minnesota State Patrol got a much more diverse population of applicants, which was one of the campaign's goals.
It's unlikely that a traditional hashtag would have produced the same level of interest or enthusiasm.
3. AirBNB's promoted tweets
AirBNB came to prominence as a business that helps travelers rent rooms, apartments or houses from people in destination cities. It's a brilliant and well-executed idea. But when AirBNB started to offer sublets, which was very different from its core offering, it had to get the word out. It did so with promoted tweets.
Promoted tweets are paid, targeted tweets that appear in people's Twitter streams. If you're curious about why AirBNB would have to pay for tweets, think back to the last conversation you had about sublets, and you may answer your own question.
AirBNB's engagement rate for the promoted tweets was 4 percent. The standard social response would be 1 percent or less.
4. ESPN's javascript buttons
ESPN has a rich online offering. On each Web page, ESPN has a conspicuous social-sharing bar and an additional tweet button in the media player (nearly every page has a video associated with it).
In one month, these buttons generate 4,000 tweets. This isn't overwhelming until you realize that each tweet draws 15 new readers to ESPN's site, which means these buttons bring in 60,000 additional readers for ESPN every month.
Javascript buttons like this are easy to implement for any business. In fact, Twitter gives them to you here. Note how easy it is customize the message, links and attribution.
5. Bonobos's exclusive Twitter sale
What is the one thing customers want from businesses on social media? Discounts.
E-retailer Bonobos experimented with an exclusive, one-day Twitter sale. It teased the sale in advance, engaged its audience and tweeted often during the sale. The results included 100 first-time customers and a 1200 percent return on investment.
At the time of the sale, Bonobos had many fewer followers than the 40,000 they have now, and Bonobos products are not inexpensive. Many businesses should able to repeat tactics like this for a low cost.
6. Zappos's customer service
Shoe retailer Zappos is a customer-centric company. It allows free returns on all shoes, and is known for its committed employees and stellar customer service. A portion of that customer service takes place on Twitter.
If discounts are the No. 1 thing customers want from businesses on social media, guess what they want next?
Customer service.
Zappos not only engages 40-85 customers daily on Twitter, but it embeds customer tweets about its shoes on the TweetWall. Not only can customers resolve their customer service issues on Twitter, but Zappos elevates customer engagement and promotion by giving customer tweets some distinction.
Bonus: Customers can use these tactics, too.
While many of these tactics may seem inexpensive (they are), it's worth noting that your customers can use the same tools.
Recently, a British Airways passenger, frustrated that British Airways lost his luggage and gave him the runaround, tweeted: "Don't fly @BritishAirways. Their customer service is horrendous."
Not content to simply tweet the message, the passenger paid $1,000 to promote the tweet. The promoted tweet resulted in more than 73,000 additional impressions and multiple media appearances for the disgruntled passenger.
There are plenty of easy ways to further integrate Twitter into your marketing mix. I hope this gives you a sense of what businesses do and what you can do.

More than half of drivers admit they behave differently when behind the wheel, acting more aggressively than they would normally according to new research from Churchill Car Insurance which exposes the 'Jekyll and Hyde' personality of UK motorists.
Churchill compared displays of aggression on the road with those in person and found that while 31 per cent have sworn at strangers in the car, only 12 per cent have done so face-to-face. While 26 per cent of motorists have shouted at others while driving, less than half (12 per cent) of that amount have done so in person.
The most popular excuse for driving aggressively is to vent frustrations (50 per cent). Other excuses include "it's a bad habit" (30 per cent) and, "it isn't a conscious decision, I just get angry in the car." In a society where openly expressing anger and aggression is disapproved of and discouraged, inside a car appears to be one of the few places people feel they can vent their emotions.
Indeed, one of the biggest catalysts for so called "Jekyll and Hyde" style driving is the mistaken belief that this behaviour is acceptable when in the car. Indeed when questioned, 27 per cent felt this was acceptable and psychologist insights support this. Drivers feel disassociated from their environment, their car a safe place allowing them to express anger and frustration at another driver and even at life in general without the risk of direct conflict. There is no one to criticise or in close contact, so people feel detached from situations and more able to express their feelings.
Psychologist Donna Dawson said: "One of the reasons drivers exert such different behaviours when on the road is the belief that their behaviour is justified by the circumstances – we tell ourselves 'the other driver caused me to react this way due to their bad driving. In other words, I am a perfectly reasonable person, reacting normally to another person's bad behaviour.'"
Churchill's research shows how dangerous the roads can be, with 29 million motorists (58 per cent) admitting to behaving aggressively while driving. Aggressive driving ranges from beeping horns (33 per cent) and swearing at other drivers (31 per cent) to deliberately tailgating (11 per cent) and chasing someone's car in anger (four per cent).
Steve Barrett, head of car insurance at Churchill said: "If you're confronted with aggressive behaviour on the roads, then try to continue driving calmly and don't get drawn into an instance of road rage. Remember that these frustrations often blow over as quickly as they arose, so it's best not to give them any oxygen to escalate".

Violence against judges
Fifteen activists were arrested and one judge was beaten so badly he had to be hospitalized early this morning. The group was holding a sit-in in front of the Judges' Club in solidarity with the judges currently being threatened with expulsion for their demands for greater independence. This--physically attacking a judge--is dangerous esclation indeed. I have heard few details so far (it's a national holiday here today) but you can read the wire story here.

AHL Game Night: 2-7-14 Crunch at Falcons
Overmatched Crunch make a game of it.
Allen York, back in the crease with Kristers Gudlevskis being recalled to Tampa earlier in the day, allowed 4 goals on 27 shots for the loss.
First Period
SPR Sedlak, (8) (Smith), 13:00
SPR Skille, (5) , 15:51
Second Period
SYR DiSalvatore, (5) (Mormina), 15:24
Third Period
SPR Jacques, (6) (Weber, Marchessault), 1:56
SYR DiSalvatore, (6) (Paquette, Nesterov), 7:40
SPR Chaput, (11) (Marchessault, Jacques), 14:13
Jon DiSalvatore was the game's second star.
The team was without an AHL level goaltender and its top center, arguably, with Vladislav Namestnikov also being recalled earlier in the day. It just continues to be too much of a mountain for the team to climb, unfortunately.

KDOT announces selection of 24 Local Partnership Program projects
Jan. 20, 2006 ( 06-004)
News Contact: Stan Whitley, (785) 296-3585
KDOT announces selection of 24 Local Partnership Program projects
Local partnership projects designed to enhance economic development opportunities and improve safety in communities across the state have been announced by the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT).
State and local funds totaling $24.6 million were approved for 24 construction projects in fiscal year 2009 through KDOT's Local Partnership Program. The program financially assists local governments in making needed road improvements on city and county roads. Projects were awarded under the categories of Geometric Improvements and Economic Development.
"The Local Partnership Program has funded important projects all across the state," said KDOT Secretary Deb Miller. "These improvements couldn't have happened without local partners and KDOT working together. Communities care about these projects and show that by providing a share of the funding to make them possible."
Local units of government must provide at least 25 percent of the total project costs for economic development projects and up to a maximum of 25 percent of total geometric improvement costs based on city population.
Economic development projects are intended to enhance economic development in the state. Geometric improvement projects are designed to help cities widen pavements, add or widen shoulders, eliminate steep hills or sharp curves and add needed acceleration and deceleration lanes.
All cities with City Connecting Links of the State Highway System within their boundaries are eligible to apply for Geometric Improvement funds. Any local unit of government or state agency may be considered for Economic Development funds for a highway or bridge construction project that has the potential to enhance and increase the area's income, employment and land values.
Miller said this is the final year of funding for the Local Partnership program under KDOT's Comprehensive Transportation Program.
"The impact of the Local Partnership program has been dramatic throughout Kansas and we hope funding will become available for its continued success in the future," said Miller. "We have been able to provide funding for 415 economic development and geometric improvement projects during the existence of this partnership program."
Since 1987, 275 Geometric Improvements have been funded in 136 communities and 140 Economic Development projects have been funded in 83 Kansas communities. A total of $320 million in funding - $220 million in state funds and $100 million in local funds – have been allocated to make improvements during the program.
Following is a list of approved cities, highways and Local Partnership Program projects.
Geometric Improvements - 16 projects
Leavenworth – K-7 and 20th Street, interchange construction; Manhattan – U.S. 24 and Marlatt Avenue, intersection realignment, turn lanes and traffic signals; Olathe – K-7 from Dennis Avenue to old U.S. 56, add turn lane for southbound K-7 to westbound old U.S. 56; Rossville – U.S. 24 from Cross Creek to Navarre, curb and gutter; Concordia – Intersection of U.S. 81 (Lincoln Street) and College Drive, widen College Drive to five lanes and relocate traffic signals; McPherson – U.S. 56B/U.S. 81B from Maple to Ash Street, reconstruction; Washington – U.S. 36 from 100 feet west of D Street east 1,100 feet to the U.S. 36/K-15 junction, reconstruction; Downs – U.S. 24 from Second Street east to Clark Street, widen to four lanes with curb and gutter; WaKeeney – U.S. 40B from First Street east to Fifth Street, reconstruction and curb and gutter; Burlington - U.S. 75 from Cumberland Street north to south of Neosho Street, reconstruction and curb and gutter; Eureka – Intersection of U.S. 54 and Jefferson Street, reconstruction and curb and gutter; Fort Scott – Intersection of U.S. 69/K-7 and National Street, realign side road and add acceleration lane to southbound U.S. 69; Newton - Junction of U.S. 50 and Anderson, acceleration and deceleration lanes at Anderson; Winfield - Main Street from south of 14th Avenue to 12th Avenue, curb and gutter, storm sewer, ramps and improve cross slope; Jetmore – U.S. 283 (Main Street) from the Buckner Creek bridge north to Tucker Street, reconstruction; Leoti – K-96 from Indian Street to Waters Street, curb and gutter and storm sewer.

Today there are four Plasma NM versions:
1. Plasma NM for NM-0.8: this one have been in version 0.9 for several years now (even before NM-0.9 was announced), it is supported by us (Plasma NM developers) and is the Plasma NM version shipped by almost all distributions, usually with version 0.9 in its package version although it does *not* work with NM-0.9.
Plasma NM uses Solid's NetworkManager backend to talk to NetworkManager. The directory /usr/src/debug/kdebase-workspace-4.6.3/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/solid/networkmanager-0.7/ mentioned in the crash log in the bug entry is the Solid's backend, which is *not* part of Plasma NM source code. In despite of the 0.7 version number the Solid's backend works with both NM-0.7 and NM-0.8. I know, that is confusing already, but there is more...
2. Fedora's own solution to make Plasma NM (for *NM-0.8*) work with *NM-0.9*: this is an in house solution developed by Fedora to make #1 work with NM-0.9. This is the package the bug's reporter uses and it is not supported by us. Fedora guys created that solution because their release schedule did not allow them to wait for us (Plasma NM developers) to create an official solution and they had to ship NM-0.9 because gnome-shell's network management applet requires it. This version is a temporary solution and is going to be phased out when our official solution is ready.
So basicaly the bug's reporter's Plasma NM version 0.9, created to work with NetworkManager 0.8 and Solid's 0.7 backend, has been modified by Fedora guys to talk to NetworkManager 0.9 :-) That is confusing.
3. Plasma NM/branch nm09: this is our intermediate implementation for NM-0.9. Of course it is supported by us. As far as I know Fedora and Arch Linux are the only distributions that ship this version. Fedora 15 includes this one in kde-unstable repository and is the version they ship in Rawhide, the development branch of the next Fedora release.
Solid's 0.9 backend is included in Plasma NM/nm09 branch, so everything here is 0.9: Plasma NM version 0.9, created to work with NetworkManager 0.9 and Solid's 0.9 backend, talks to NetworkManager 0.9 :-) When everybody stops using NM-0.8 things are going to go back to normal, I hope.
4. Plasma NM/branch libnm-qt: this is going to be our official implemenation for NM-0.9. Of course this one is also supported by us, it is not ready yet, I have never tested it myself, and probably no distribution ships it. libnm-qt (version 0.9 I hope) is the replacement for Solid's NM backed 0.9 and simplifies the source code for us developers. There is no user visible differences between #3 and #4 since only the backend is different, the user interface is the same.
The last two are in development stage. I use #3 in my notebook with almost no problems. I just need to clean up the source code and fix one problem with system VPN connections (user VPN connections work). There is also some TODO's in #3 but most people probably do not need them yet and they can be implemented without disturbing users like we have been doing in master branch.
Some people asked me what version they should use. Well, #1 is the only one that works with NM-0.8 so there is no choice here. For NM-0.9 use #3, like me, since #4 is not ready yet. But there is a catch: #3 does not migrate NM-0.8 configuration to NM-0.9 format yet, so you will have to recreate all your connections, that is also the reason Fedora makes it available in kde-unstable instead of kde-testing repository. Since only Fedora ships #2, I think Fedora users should use #2 because there is no settings migration to be done like in #3 and #4. There is no migration between #3 to #4, they use the same configuration files.
I hope this explains the version number mess in Plasma NM. So basically NM-0.9 is our opportunity to make everything use the same version number.
Update: I have implemented in #3 the code to import the Plasma NM's configuration files used in #1 (NM-0.8), just do:
qdbus org.kde.networkmanagement /org/kde/networkmanagement org.kde.networkmanagement.ImportNm08Connections
The qdbus call above is one shot, you will have to restart kded4 to be able to trigger it again. The old configuration files are not deleted so that you can import the connections again, but if you delete the connection using Plasma NM's connection editor the secrets in kwallet will be deleted forever.
When the importer is well tested I am going to change the code to delete the old configuration files.
Update: importer is enabled by default now but old configuration files will not be deleted because of those two nasty bugs. NetworkManager calls our secret agent to save the wrong password, I do not know why that is happening. Last weekd I send an e-mail to NM mailing list asking for help but nobody has answered it yet.

Chart: Low-income countries lag behind in realizing progress in female school enrollment
This page in:
From the World Development Report 2012.
For poor women and for women in very poor places, sizable gender gaps remain. In education, where gaps have narrowed in most countries, girls' enrollment in primary and secondary school has improved little in many Sub-Saharan countries and some parts of South Asia. School enrollments for girls in Mali are comparable to those in the United States in 1810, and the situation in Ethiopia and Pakistan is not much better.

I�m continuing my yearly tradition of leaving things behind in the year that�s ending instead of making New Year�s resolutions for the year ahead.
I�m continuing my yearly tradition of leaving things behind in the year that�s ending instead of making New Year�s resolutions for the year ahead.
And this year, that includes my weekly column.
The older I get the less I have to say and the more I want to read and listen to what others have to say, so I�m going to spend my last column saying thanks.
I�m so thankful to you readers. I appreciate your kind (and not so kind) words over the years. Newspapers need encouragement and input. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to write a weekly column for nearly a decade. I also feel blessed for the awareness of when it�s time to let it go.
I�m thankful to my work family. My managing editor has been reading my words for more than a dozen years. If you found my columns fluid and full of gorgeous grammar, you can thank her. I have many times. (If this one is less than perfect, however, please blame me. She�s on a well deserved vacation for a few days.)
I�m thankful to my family at home. My husband and children have often been the subject of my columns. I�ve written about my daughters growing into fantastic young women. I was able to share the love story that lead to me marrying to the most wonderful man in the universe � twice. My siblings have showed up in my columns as well as a few aunts, uncles, grandparents, my dad, my neighbors and a few pets.
And lastly, I want to thank my biggest fan � my mom.
She�s has been the one constant in my life whose encouragement, humor, devotion to all things creative, and loving ways have always been a part of every word I�ve ever written. She is the most forgiving human being I�ve ever known. She is kind, fierce, independent, slightly stubborn, captivating and the most beautiful person inside and out. There is an entire catalogue of my columns carefully stored in notebooks thanks to her. I get a phone call from her every week where she congratulates me on what I wrote in Friday�s paper � convinced that my columns are award-winning. By God�s grace, some of them were. I would not have ended this weekly run without her blessing.
I would have never been successful at it without yours.
I may show up from time to time on the opinion page when I have something to say. It was an honor getting to share my thoughts each week, and an even bigger honor knowing that folks were interested in what those thoughts were.
Timmi Toler is city editor of The Daily News who believes that old columnists never die, they just find a new love in writing editorials. Contact her at 910-219-8458 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or join the conversation at facebook.com/JacksonvilleDailyNews or twitter.com/JDNews.

Your account will be downgraded to a free membership, which includes 2 GB of storage. If you're using more than 2 GB of storage, you won't be able to upload new files to the cloud.

However, your Creative Cloud membership comes with cloud storage that you can choose to use for backups, link sharing, folder collaboration, and more.

Today the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) announced recreational fishing for red snapper will reopen in state waters on Friday, October 1, 2010. The season will remain open every Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout Sunday, November 21. The season will then remain closed until June 1, 2011.
NOAA Regional Administrator, Roy Crabtree, sent a letter to LDWF Secretary Robert Barham this week, requesting the reopening of red snapper season in state waters to match the federal season reopening.
NOAA officials chose to reopen the season for red snapper due to the significant fishing closures issued this summer as a result of the Deepwater Horizon incident. Figures suggest the recreational red snapper quota was not met at the July 24, 2010 closure date and that approximately 2.3 million pounds of the 3.4 million pound quota remains.
All regulations established for recreational harvest of red snapper will be in effect for this special season.
Secretary Barham was authorized by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission at their January 2010 meeting to change or modify opening and closing dates for the recreational red snapper season in Louisiana waters to comply with changes or modifications in season dates in federal waters. This action ensures that regulations in state waters will coincide with regulations for federally managed waters.
For more information, contact Harry Blanchet at firstname.lastname@example.com or 225/765-2889.

UBS Consumption Indicator rises again
The UBS Consumption Indicator continued its upward trend in October, rising 0.13 points on September's figure to 1.96 and signalling a sustained robust development in private consumption.
The monthly UBS Consumption Indicator rose to 1.96 in October, up from 1.83 in September and August's interim low of 1.70, and therefore continued to exceed its long-term average of 1.49.
The latest rise in the UBS Consumption Indicator, which is calculated from five sub-indicators, can primarily be attributed to new car registrations, which were up 10% on the previous year. The KOF barometer of business trends in the retail sector and consumer sentiment also helped brighten the picture, remaining practically unchanged at their previous high levels. The fourth indicator, which measures overnight stays by Swiss nationals in Switzerland, continued the growth trend witnessed over the past sixteen months.
The overall pleasing trend recorded by the UBS Consumption Indicator shows that consumer demand among private households continued to develop strongly into late autumn. However, it is not only robust private consumption that is underpinning the economy; other indicators, especially those related to capital spending, also point towards continued strong economic performance. In light of these facts, UBS economists expect gross domestic product (GDP) to rise at an above-average rate through into the final quarter of 2006 and, overall, are anticipating real GDP growth of 3% in the current year. The growth rate is likely to slacken considerably to 1.5% in 2007, however, due mainly to the more muted economic outlook in the US and the eurozone, which looks set to weaken exports for the time being. UBS economists predict that private consumption will prove a valuable pillar of support to the economy in 2007 on the back of positive employment and wage trends and, with around 2% real growth, will help the Swiss economy to sustain a robust level of expansion.
