Advantages Of A Home Based Business
The idea of working from home is a very attractive one for many people and the internet has made it easier to achieve than ever before. However, home based business success usually does not happen overnight. You have to be willing to invest time and effort to see results and have the flexibility to change approaches when necessary. Whether you choose to start a traditional home based business or an internet-based one, the advantages of a home based business are worth the patience, persistence and discipline required of you.
One of the most significant advantages of a home based business is that you can start small and gradually build it. This means you can keep your regular job until your business has grown to a level you can afford to operate it on a full time basis. If you have a family and need to continue earning a certain income, you can start a home based business without compromising your family's financial security
An advantage that a home based business offers is that your start up cost can be extremely low. In most cases as long as you have a computer, internet and a phone you can be up and running in no time. This helps to keep your overhead low and your profitability high. Regardless of how many products or services you want to offer. Even looking at creating a web presence for you new business can be done very economically.
The benefit to your family life is another advantage of starting your own home based business. Your schedule will be more flexible working from home and you will be able to be available for important school events and other family needs. The savings in travel time to and from work every day, can be used for quality family time, to build your business or for personal development.
A home based business has low over head. Marketing tools and strategies for an online business are also less expensive. You will be surprised to find how many are free, including creating your own web presence. Let us not forget the fact that your business is also portable, especially if your business is internet based. You can literally work from anywhere you wish. As long as you can get an internet connection you could be putting in your hours at work lounging on the beach or watching your child at practices for their sports.
When comparing offline service, the marketing tools and strategies offered on the Internet are usually less expensive. It is also not uncommon to find marketing resources on the Web that are free of charge. All you have to worry about is knowing what you have to do and be willing to put in the legwork. For instance, when using articles to increase website traffic, you have to learn different marketing techniques on the Internet, as this will help you enhance your home based business without extravagant costs.
One of the best advantages to having a home based business is the tax breaks you and your family can receive. This tax breaks often help offset current home expenses. Did you know that the percentage of your home that you use for your business can be a tax deduction and so can the cost of power for your home. Any program or training that you do to further your knowledge and understanding of your home based business is also a tax break.
The advantages to having your own home based business far exceed any downside there could be to working from home. As long as you are realistic and realize that you will not be "rich" overnight and you are willing to be dedicated and put in the time you will be successful. The easy part is starting; the hard part is making it work and getting profit out of it. Remember patience, persistence and perseverance are the keys to being successful. There are many people working from home and being successful following those precious little ideas.

I found something strange when I was working on some other problems.
I thought the triple intersection description of the unitary group said that any two of $(g, \omega, J)$ determines the third pointwisely. Then I found I was very wrong: when one tries to find a $J$ from some $(g,\omega)$ , one need not have $g(Jx, Jy)=g(x, y)$ for the resulting $J$, and hence may not have $J^2=−1$... very strange.
Consider the usual inner product on $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$:
$g(X,Y) = tr(XY)$
and this "symplectic structure"
$\omega(X,Y)=tr(A X A^{-1} Y - A Y A^{-1} X)$
where $A$ is a fixed constant element in $GL(n)$.
Now the $J$ corresponding to it seems to be
but then $J^2 \neq -1$.
Now the above symplectic form is degenerate, but I thought the real cause shall be something different.
Define $\omega$ on $\mathfrak{g} \times \mathfrak{g}$ as follows:
$\omega((x_1, x_2),(y_1, y_2)) = tr(x_1 y_2 - y_1 x_2 + Ad_g x_1 \cdot y_1 - Ad_g y_1 \cdot x_1 + Ad_h x_2 \cdot y_2 - Ad_h y_2 \cdot x_2)$
where $(g,h) \in G \times G$ is fixed, $(x_1,x_2) \in \mathfrak{g} \times \mathfrak{g}$, $(y_1,y_2) \in \mathfrak{g} \times \mathfrak{g}$.
One still have the $J$ issue.

Every time Automake is run it calls Autoconf to trace configure.ac. This way it can recognize the use of certain macros and tailor the generated Makefile.in appropriately. Currently recognized macros and their effects are:
Automake will ensure that config.guess and config.sub
exist. Also, the Makefile variables
host_triplet and
target_triplet are introduced. See
Getting the Canonical System Type in The Autoconf Manual.
Automake will look for various helper scripts, such as install-sh, in the directory named in this macro invocation. (The full list of scripts is: ar-lib, config.guess, config.sub, depcomp, compile, install-sh, ltmain.sh, mdate-sh, missing, mkinstalldirs, py-compile, test-driver, texinfo.tex, ylwrap.) Not all scripts are always searched for; some scripts will only be sought if the generated Makefile.in requires them.
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR is not given, the scripts are looked for in
their standard locations. For mdate-sh,
texinfo.tex, and ylwrap, the standard location is the
source directory corresponding to the current Makefile.am. For
the rest, the standard location is the first one of ., ..,
or ../.. (relative to the top source directory) that provides any
one of the helper scripts. See Finding 'configure' Input in The Autoconf Manual.
Required files from
AC_CONFIG_AUX_DIR are automatically
distributed, even if there is no Makefile.am in this directory.
Automake will require the sources file declared with
AC_LIBSOURCE (see below) in the directory specified by this
Automake will generate rules to rebuild these headers from the
corresponding templates (usually, the template for a foo.h
header being foo.h.in). Older versions of Automake
required the use of
AM_CONFIG_HEADER; this is no longer
the case, and that macro has indeed been removed.
As with
AC_CONFIG_FILES (see Requirements), parts of the
specification using shell variables will be ignored as far as
cleaning, distributing, and rebuilding is concerned.
Automake will generate rules to remove configure generated links on 'make distclean' and to distribute named source files as part of 'make dist'.
As for
AC_CONFIG_FILES (see Requirements), parts of the
specification using shell variables will be ignored as far as cleaning
and distributing is concerned. (There are no rebuild rules for links.)
Automake will automatically distribute any file listed in
AC_LIBSOURCE or
Note that the
AC_LIBOBJ macro calls
AC_LIBSOURCE. So if
an Autoconf macro is documented to call 'AC_LIBOBJ([file])', then
file.c will be distributed automatically by Automake. This
encompasses many macros like
AC_REPLACE_FUNCS, and others.
By the way, direct assignments to
LIBOBJS are no longer
supported. You should always use
AC_LIBOBJ for this purpose.
AC_LIBOBJ vs.
LIBOBJS in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required if any libraries are built in the package. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required if any C++ source is included. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required if any Objective C source is included. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required if any Objective C++ source is included. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required if any Fortran 77 source is included. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
This is required for programs and shared libraries that are a mixture of languages that include Fortran 77 (see Mixing Fortran 77 With C and C++). See Autoconf macros supplied with Automake.
Automake will add the flags computed by
AC_FC_SRCEXT to compilation
of files with the respective source extension (see Fortran Compiler Characteristics in The Autoconf Manual).
This is required if any Fortran 90/95 source is included. This macro is distributed with Autoconf version 2.58 and later. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
Automake will turn on processing for
libtool (see Introduction in The Libtool Manual).
If a Yacc source file is seen, then you must either use this macro or
define the variable
YACC in configure.ac. The former is
preferred (see Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual).
If a Lex source file is seen, then this macro must be used. See Particular Program Checks in The Autoconf Manual.
For each
automake will ensure that file exists in the
aux directory, and will complain otherwise. It
will also automatically distribute the file. This macro should be
used by third-party Autoconf macros that require some supporting
files in the aux directory specified with
above. See Finding
configure Input in The Autoconf Manual.
The first argument is automatically defined as a variable in each
generated Makefile.in, unless
AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE is also
used for this variable. See Setting
Output Variables in The Autoconf Manual.
For every substituted variable var,
automake will add
a line
var = value to each Makefile.in file.
Many Autoconf macros invoke
AC_SUBST to set output variables
this way, e.g.,
AC_PATH_XTRA defines
X_CFLAGS and
X_LIBS. Thus, you can access these variables as
$(X_CFLAGS) and
$(X_LIBS) in any Makefile.am
AC_PATH_XTRA is called.
This introduces an Automake conditional (see Conditionals).
This macro allows
automake to detect subsequent access within
configure.ac to a conditional previously introduced with
AM_CONDITIONAL, thus enabling conditional
(see Usage of Conditionals).
This macro is required for packages that use GNU gettext (see gettext). It is distributed with gettext. If Automake sees this macro it ensures that the package meets some of gettext's requirements.
This macro specifies that the intl/ subdirectory is to be built,
even if the
AM_GNU_GETTEXT macro was invoked with a first argument
of 'external'.
This macro adds an --enable-maintainer-mode option to
configure. If this is used,
automake will cause
"maintainer-only" rules to be turned off by default in the
generated Makefile.ins, unless default-mode is
'enable'. This macro defines the
conditional, which you can use in your own Makefile.am.
See maintainer-mode.
Prevent Automake from defining a variable var, even if it is
substituted by
config.status. Normally, Automake defines a
make variable for each
configure substitution,
i.e., for each
AC_SUBST([var]). This macro prevents that
definition from Automake. If
AC_SUBST has not been called
for this variable, then
AM_SUBST_NOTMAKE has no effects.
Preventing variable definitions may be useful for substitution of
multi-line values, where
var = @value@ might yield
unintended results.
Files included by configure.ac using this macro will be detected by Automake and automatically distributed. They will also appear as dependencies in Makefile rules.
m4_include is seldom used by configure.ac authors, but
can appear in aclocal.m4 when
aclocal detects that
some required macros come from files local to your package (as opposed to
macros installed in a system-wide directory, see aclocal Invocation).

'Lost' flashes forward! Jordin sparks!
Tried watching "Lost" and the "American Idol" season finales simultaneously, jumping back and forth, via DVR. The results were a bit haphazard.
"This is my now!" warbled Jack to Kate.
Well, he might have. Actually, he said, "I love you."
"Good vibrations," Simon said to Paula.
He might have, but no.
Time is getting more complicated on "Lost." The suicidal, pill-popping doctor has messed with fate and now (in the future) feels the need to go back to the island.
Meanwhile, too much nasty filler on "Idol" between appearances by Tony Bennett, Green Day, Gwen Stefani (looking gift-wrapped), Bette Midler, et al, and the predicted triumph of Jordin.
Credit "Lost's" two-hour maze with a perfect mix of satisfying information and new teases.
Who's the guy Kate's going home to? Where is Penny? Who's Naomi? Where's our girl Melinda Doolittle? And was it a mistake to keep Ben alive? Between Fox's music show and ABC's drama, "Lost" had the good vibrations.

2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue cover model Kate Upton told TODAY on Tuesday that in addition to getting frostbite during her Antarctica shoot, her body nearly shut downfrom the cold.
"It was freezing," the sultry blonde said on TODAY. "I'm from Florida, so it wasn't easy for me.
"When I came back, I was losing my hearing and eye sight," she said. "My body was shutting down because it was working so hard to keep me warm.

The steamy cover features Upton without a bikini top, but a Parka instead to "keep warm."
This is Upton's second consecutive year on the magazine's cover. Tyra Banks is the last model to achieve the same distinction, nabbing two covers in 1996 and 1997.

Pool owners often overlook caulking the joint between the pool coping and the pool deck. Because of the time needed to allow pool deck and coping to shift and allow proper curing time, pool builders often refrain from including caulking your pool when building operations are complete. When the expansion joint is not caulked you are at risk of damage.
The expansion joint allows for the deck and pool to expand, independently - that is, without hitting each other. Without a "True" expansion joint, all the way through to the earth, when the deck expands, it can crack and break the top of your pool wall.
The pool caulking is designed to prevent water from entering the expansion joint. Water can erode the supporting earth beneath your pool deck. Damage can also occur during the winter months as water freezes and expands and can lead to structural damage. Coping stones can become loose and/or crack, tile line can crack and lead to fallen tiles, and the bond beam of pool structure can become compromised.
The bond beam is the top section of pool wall that holds the coping for your pool. When caulking is forgotten or is in need of a repair it can often lead to major renovations that can include removing coping stones, building up bond beam, resetting stones and re-tiling the pool. The best remedy is to make sure your expansion joint is properly caulked.
When caulking your pool expansion joint follow all the instructions set forth by manufacturer to achieve the best results. The majority of the work will be in the preparation. All debris and moisture will need to be removed from the joint. You can achieve this by using a brush, shop-vac, leaf blower, etc. I typically use a portable torch to go along the perimeter of pool and burn out any moisture and any debris. Sunlight will also help dry up any moisture in joint as will a heat gun or hair dryer.
There are several options when choosing your pool caulk. Different manufacturers and different kinds of pool caulk will depict the exact prep work needed for job. The three most common pool caulks come in self-leveling, semi-self leveling, and gun grade (used by professionals). They all have a different viscosity and your selection should reflect your skill level and the job you are undertaking.
When using gun grade pool caulk you will need to tape off either side of the joint (masking tape works best). You will also need a hand tool, typically a trowel, to put a finish on the joint and work caulk down into joint. Remember to use backer rod to fill voids so as to prevent excessive caulk usage. Backer rod also gives caulk a place to sit on as it cures.
With self-leveling and semi self-leveling caulk, the pool caulk will settle at the lowest point. This is ideal for 100% even joints that can be sealed off to prevent caulk from running out of joint. Backer rod is recommended even more, to fill any void and help form the joint. Most importantly, if foam backer rod is not used, the caulking will just run down into the joint, as it is very runny. Chilling your caulk, and applying during a cooler time of day will make it less runny.
Caulking your pool prevents damage from ice expansion during the winter, and prevents the joint from filling up with debris over time. If the joint fills with debris and sand, then movement of the deck will also move the coping, eventually loosening the coping. More advanced damage breaks the top part of the pool, under the coping, and through the tile line. A very expensive repair. So, do some preventative maintenance, and caulk your pool!

Blizzard's 7 day a week hotline? It's been "full queue" every time I tried. 5 minutes after opening shop, on a Sunday morning, and their "on hold" queue is full for the day?? They don't even bother trying, sending you to the forums direct. So no talking to a person.
And this 2nd time the hackers added an instant authenticator (iPhone app?) to lock me out permanently.
My own authenticators are coming via ground mail because that's how they do it now.
I can't even complain on the forums because I need an authenticator to log on, to access my own account even, and with the hackers locking my account with an authenticator of their own, "So sorry Charlie." Sucks being me.
Msaker was who they logged in with and did the robbing. Six hours ago, wiping me out a second time, in the middle of the night, six hours or 4:30.
What had I done to fix the computers? I did full scans of both machines. (First hack was while on my laptop in a hotel room. Second here at home on my Mac.) I used SpyBot on my PC laptop to scan for something (nothing), Intego's VirusBarrier X6 on my mac (also nothing). I removed all the add-on updaters. The Mac's a new machine and had nothing installed on it, nor have I added anything suspect.
I also created a new e-mail and attached the bnet account to it. And a new password to go along with it.
And I ordered the authenticators. But ground service isn't via Flash Gordon so I was stuck.
With impunity they logged on again, my e-mail and password change ignored, and applied an authenticator of their own, and went to town a second time. With the new gold, probably sold my level 74 Paladin's crafted armor, again, some gems and eternals, those I'd gathered last week.
However, this was not a "hack worthy" account, not anymore. And they knew it. (I'm assuming the same people who got me this time got me last time.) Now it's just malicious spite to mess with me.
And, again, it's just me and the wife. There are no guildmates involved who may have done this with a borrowed account. Nobody knows the new password. Not even the wife. I simply typed it in. On clean machines. What the frick gives???
So, who can suggest a good software keylogger spotter? (It's obviously not a hardware USB logger since these are private home machines, and nobody sees the machines but us.) Spybot-S&D saw nothing (nothing!) on the laptop. Intego's VirusBarrier X6 saw nothing on my Mac. Am I searching for something not even on my machine? Is Battlenet compromised?
Follow up:
Blizzard did help me on the phone. 20 minute wait, but at least I got someone. (Thank you!) Friendly help, offered some advice, helped me reset, and I got logged back on.
What did they get? 550g my Death Knight managed to gather again doing quests since then. A bunch of gems I'd gathered and set aside to do my JC dailies. Saronite Ore I'd gathered together to craft the i178 gear set for my Paladin. All of it. Gone. The Eternals. The new Titansteel bar to start the weapon and shield crafting.
Apparently, the overseas hackers have access to all the hardware based authenticators they want. (Stateside distributors, of course.) You buy on one account, and you can apply it to any account you have access to. So they got me, the night after I order my own, with their own hardware authenticator. Insult to injury this time: They took my Death Knight's complete T9 kit. They left him boots and his level 58 gear. So much for dungeon running to recover the gear. (I'll assume they're reading this and will delete this "rp" kit the next time around.) They went out of their way to destroy Stormsoul's pvp shoulders, and the rest of the crafted gear the wife had made him after the first hack. They actually cleaned out the last of my tokens, something they'd overlooked the first time. And they sold my level 45 warriors boots, and stripped my 65 rogue of everything non-heirloom, including his epic engineering goggles. It's one thing to rob someone, it's quite another to mock them while doing it. I guess wasting $6.50 to hack the remains of an account irked them.
So far all of my hardware here scans clean. I have NO IDEA how they've managed to do this.
Follow up to the follow up:
Blizzard and/or the hackers have managed to lock me out of my account yet one more time. I managed to log in long enough earlier today to do some fishing dailies for cash. Then I logged out for dinner. Then I tried logging back in to head to Sholazar with the wife to complete the cooking dailies and collect some eggs and I find I'm locked out of the account again.
Then I see Blizzard sent me an e-mail to go online and fill out a form. Sigh. Isn't that causing all the problems in the first place? Phishing attempts that I'm supposed to ignore? But I go, figuring WTF and do it. They respond with a form e-mail saying I should get another e-mail to reset my password. Except two hours later it's still not arrived.
So. I got my account back with Blizzard's help. That must have been their right hand. Because later Blizzard denies me access to my account. This must be their left hand. At least I hope it's Blizzard. And not a 3rd hack.
If you've gone to the technical support forum today it's alive today with report after report of bogus (i.e. not applied by the owner to their own account) authenticators locking folks out. That's way too many people at the same time, in the same style.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Senior catcher Richard Pirkle (Norcross, Ga.) was announced prior to the game as the John Kurtz Award recipient, then promptly powered a 6-1 win for No. 19 Georgia College baseball (33-15, 13-9 PBC) over No. 14 Armstrong Atlantic (33-13, 14-8 PBC) at Kurtz Field Friday night.
The Kurtz Award is the annual honor for the top individual on the GC baseball team, handed out since 1994, the honor is in memory of legendary head coach John Kurtz, a GC Athletics Hall of Famer with 577 career wins that put GC baseball and athletics as a whole on the sporting map.
Pirkle's bomb came to lead off the five-run fourth inning, swatting an 0-1 pitch off the scoreboard in left center. The senior catcher now leads the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) in home runs with 12. The five-run inning was in support of lefty starter Mike Guinane (Glenview, Ill.) who improved to 9-1 with 7 2/3 innings, scattering seven hits and a run while fanning five.
A crafty bunt single by centerfielder Patrick Daugherty (Kennesaw, Ga.) with two down and runners on second and third caught the Pirate defense off guard, bringing in the first run in the second inning. Daugherty finished with two RBI. Shortstop Tanner Funk (Kearney, Mo.) was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles, extending his team-leading hit streak to 10 games.
For AASU, starter Trent Landa (4-5) took the loss in 3 2/3 innings, allowing six earned runs. Designated hitter Josh Heath had three singles in four trips.
The victory puts the Bobcats at a half-game behind Columbus State University for the top slot in the PBC West Division.
The Bobcats close out the regular season with Senior Day Saturday, April 30 at 2 p.m. taking on the Pirates in a doubleheader.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

He's got a dry, sardonic style some of you guys might dig...
Currently Reading A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. Got a recommendation on this one somewhere, can't remember where exactly. Written not too long ago its a Fantasy Novel that weighs in around 800 pages long. Deeply complex with lots of different Kingdoms and Rulers and Factions. Lots of stuff going on but very much enjoyable. I've read reviews saying that GoT is the Modern Day LOTR and instead of everyone copying the Quest Saga of LOTR (ala the Wheel of Time series), they will be doing Game of Thrones knock offs. BTW, there are 4 total chapters so far of a planned 6. I recommend checking it out
I'm reading Angels and Demons.Very fun.
I'm on page 700 or so, so I'm almost done...and now I highly recommend checking this book series out. I've never read something so interesting and greatly interwoven.

Those who sought refuge at the American Red Cross shelter at Dover High School from throughout Kent County enjoyed a comfortable stay as Hurricane Sandy unleashed her wrath on Delaware.
The emergency shelter set up by the American Red Cross at Dover High School Sunday held 91 people seeking safe harbor from throughout Kent County during the height of the storm called Hurricane Sandy.
By Tuesday afternoon, that number had dwindled down to 27 people for one more night as high winds subsided and a light rain continued to fall in greater Dover.
The three days went well as everyone got along and even participated in a dance safe and sound from the buffeting winds and 7 to 8 inches of rain that fell in a day and a half in Kent County.
Among those staying at the pet friendly, Dover High shelter were Jocqleen Hlavac, who lives near the Dover Air Force Base, and her two dogs, Eva and Dolly. In August 2011, she went to the American Red Cross set up in Milford.
"I'm originally from Puerto Rico, so I've seen a lot of hurricanes, including Hugo, the perfect storm, and Andrew, both category 5s," Hlavac said. "So, I am very familiar with what it's like to be in those types of predicaments. So, I chose to evacuate myself voluntarily.
"I know it could be really bad," she said. "I didn't want to be that close to water and flooding with the dogs; they are my family. You didn't hear the storm. It was nice. The staff was really helpful. Everything that was possibly needed they brought."
Also at the shelter was Ken Benson, of Felton, with his wife and other family members. They live in wide-open farmland with few trees to slow the wind down, he said.
"With the wind coming from the Northeast and the rain it was puddling water," Benson said. "We felt that it was just going to get too deep for us to move around, get to food or anything like that.
"They handled things quite well here," he said. "There were people here, but it wasn't really very crowded. Everyone got along. Of course, with the kids, things got a little noisy at times, but that's to be expected."
The Benson family would stay until Wednesday morning, then head home to Felton.
"Where we're at, it's wide-open space and I want as much of the wind gone as possible before we head back," Benson said.
Assisting the American Red Cross at Dover High were the Delaware Medical Reserve Corps, AmeriCorps NCCC, Kent County SPCA, the Delaware Department of Transportation and the Dover Police Department, with the latter providing two police officers who worked eight-hour shifts around the clock. In addition, the Capital School District provided two custodians and two cafeteria workers that prepared meals for everyone.
Delaware Medical Reserve Corps nurses Jean Taylor, Gloria Shuba, Traci Williams and Christopher Grogan were among those assisting guests at the shelter.
Taylor's daughter Aneya, a St. Thomas More High School senior, also helped Shuba lead the dance lines during a rendition of the electric slide dance Monday night, with a little assistance from Williams' daughter Graciela Carroll, a Star Hill Elementary third grader.
Grogan also kept the younger crowd busy as a whole with American geography quizzes, mathematical problems, Simon Says, jumping jacks and football in the hallway.
"It kept them occupied," he said. "You don't want the kids to be traumatized by the event. There [were] 70 mile per hour winds outside and rain."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the fifth time this season the MIT women's tennis team did not allow its opponent a point as the Engineers defeated Smith College, 9-0, in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference match. Sophomore Alana Peters (Kenilworth, Ill.) picked up the victory in the No. 6 singles match that gave the Engineers their ninth straight victory.
MIT (9-0, 8-0 NEWMAC) started the day with 8-0 and 8-1 decisions in the Nos. 3 and 1 matches to go up 2-0. The Engineers completed the sweep with the No. 2 team of junior Michelle Dutt (Gurnee, Ill.) and freshman Krystal Lai (Irvine, Calif.) getting past the Smith (1-7, 1-7 NEWMAC) team of freshman Margaret Anne Smith (Spring Lake, N.HJ.) and junior Seema Samawi (Damascus, Syria) by a final of 8-2.
MIT went on to take all of the singles matches in straight sets, with the Engineers not surrendering a game in four of the matches. Sophomore Sunnie Lampl (Bluemont, Va.) started singles off with a 6-0, 6-0 win in the No. 5 match, followed by Peters victory in her No. 6 contest that put the match in the win column for MIT. Freshmen Elysa Kohrs (Half Moon Bay, Calif.) and Wendi Kong (Cupertino, Calif.) also scored 6-0, 6-0 wins for MIT, taking their victories in the Nos. 1 and 3 contests.
Freshman Krystal Lai (Irvine, Calif.) scored the eighth point for the Engineers in the No. 2 match, taking a 6-0, 6-1 win over Samawi. Senior Julia Hsu (Knoxville, Tenn.) completed the match for MIT and picked up her 100th career point by taking a 6-1, 6-0 victory over Smith.
Both teams will be back in action at the NEWITT Tournament that will be hosted by Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Mass. From Oct. 18 through the 20th.

Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile-onset or insulin-dependentdiabetes mellitus, is caused by the destruction of insulin-producing β cells in the pancreas by the body's immune system. It affects millions of individuals worldwide, who require regular insulin injections to control blood glucose levels and avoid severe consequences of glucose dysregulation.
Written and edited by experts in the field, this collection from Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine provides a detailed examination of the causes and pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes. The contributors discuss genetic risk factors, environmental triggers, and our current understanding of the autoimmune response underlying the condition. Animal models for diabetes, epidemiological considerations in disease etiology, and the development of diagnostic markers and tools are also reviewed.
This volume includes discussions of treatment strategies for type 1 diabetes, such as immunosuppressive drugs, antigen-specific approaches, pancreas and islet transplantation, and the use of stem cells. It is an essential reference for not only immunologists, physiologists, cell and developmental biologists, and geneticists, but all medical scientists and physicians interested in the pathology and treatment of this difficult disease.

Here are two more photos from my Great Grandmother's collection that have names written on them. I will make the rest of them available that we just don't have a clue about at another time. Both were given to Lillian Coley Jonas, probably from classmates or close friends.
Irene Cottle gave this photo to Lillian and states the same. I assume this was a close friend of some sort. Irene Elizabeth Cottle born 20 November 1893 in Richmond, Cache, Utah and died in La Grande, Union, Oregon. She married Edward William Pfel.
This photo from "Dellas Thomas", at least that is how the name is spelled on the back. Taken in Lewiston, Cache, Utah on 27 December 1914. Perhaps a boyfriend at the time? John Dellas Thomas was born 21 September 1896 in Lewiston and died 19 January 1985.

Manistee National Forest
The Manistee National Forest encompasses over 480,000 acres, and together with the Huron National Forest, occupies almost a million acres of national land in Michigan's lower peninsula. This is where thousands of people enjoy a myriad of activities--such as hiking, fishing, camping, canoeing, hunting, snowmobiling, and ORV use.
Due to heavy logging in the late 1800s, these forests were almost completely cleared, so the Huron National Forest was established in 1909, followed in 1938 by the Manistee National Forest as a way to preserve this area for generations to come. In the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) helped reforest the land, planting pine trees in straight, even rows, which can still be seen today.
The Manistee National Forest is not one continuous piece of land, but is spread out over nine counties and is broken up by towns and private property. Three major rivers meander through the Forest--Pine, Pere Marquette, and Manistee. The Pine River is a bit rough and only recommended for experienced canoeists. The Manistee River is a bit more calm and perfect for families, and great for fishing! Check out the latest Manistee fishing reports, grab your pole and enjoy the scenery while you fish the Big Manistee or Little Manistee Rivers. We also provide fishing reports for the Pere Marquette River if you're looking for trout, steelhead, and salmon.
The popular North Country Trail stretches 4,600 miles from New York to North Dakota and through five other states, with 100 miles of the Trail found within the Manistee National Forest. It is the longest hiking path in the United States, and passes through ten National Forests. Every year, thousands choose a section of the Trail to discover--from snowshoeing in the winter to camping in the summer.
Located in the Manistee portion of the forest is the Nordhouse Dunes Wilderness. It sets just north of the Ludington State Park and along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Many of the dunes found here are up to 4,000 years old and 140 feet high with an expansive beach area. In a section just north of the dunes is the Lake Michigan Recreation Area. Here you can picnic, bike, hike, and swim--and there are 99 campsites with tables and fire rings.

Appeal brought on 1 March 2019 by Ryanair DAC, formerly Ryanair Ltd,Airport Marketing Services Ltd against the judgment of the General Court (Sixth Chamber, Extended Composition) delivered on 13 December 2018 in Case T-53/16: Ryanair and Airport Marketing Services v Commission
(Case C-204/19 P)
Language of the case: English
Appellants: Ryanair DAC, formerly Ryanair Ltd, Airport Marketing Services Ltd (represented by: E. Vahida, avocat, I.-G. Metaxas-Maranghidis, Δικηγόρος, G. Berrisch, Rechtsanwalt, B. Byrne, Solicitor)
Other parties to the proceedings: European Commission, Council of the European Union
Form of order sought
The appellants claim that the Court should:
set aside the judgment of the General Court of 13 December 2018 in CaseT-53/16; and
annul Articles 1, 4, 5 and 6 of Commission Decision (EU) 2016/6331 of 23 July 2014 on State aid SA.33961 (2012/C) (ex 2012/NN), or in the alternative, refer the case back to the General Court for reconsideration; and in any event
order the Commission to pay the appellants' costs of this appeal and of the procedure in Case T-53/16 before the General Court.
Pleas in law and main arguments
The appellants submit that the judgment under appeal should be set aside on the following grounds.
First, the General Court misapplied Article 41 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the rights of defence of the appellants in the proceedings before the Commission. The General Court: erred in drawing a distinction between the specific rights in Article 41(2) of the Charter and the general right to good administration provided in Article 41(1) of the Charter; erred in finding that the rights in Article 41(2) of the Charter do not apply in State aid investigations; erred in finding that there is a conflict between Article 41(1) and (2) of the Charter and Articles 107 and 108 TFEU; and erred in finding that the appellants could merely be considered as a source of information in the investigation.
Second, the General Court violated Article 107(1) TFEU by misinterpreting the notion of
advantage. The General Court: erred in concluding that there is no hierarchy of methodologies for applying the market economy operator ("MEO") test between the comparative analysis and other methods; erred in finding that the Commission was entitled to depart from the comparative analysis and reject the comparative evidence submitted by the Appellants; erred in concluding that, when applying the incremental profitability test, it is not necessary for the Commission to satisfy itself that the expected incremental costs and expected incremental nonaeronautical revenues reflect how an MEO would have operated the airport; and erred by finding that decreased profitability, rather than lack of profitability, is sufficient for a finding of aid.
Third, the General Court erred in its assessment of imputability to the State by: considering that the operator of the airport – "SMAN" – was an "organ of the State"; not applying the Stardust Marine indicators; and failing to provide a sufficient statement of reasons for doing so. The General Court also erred by wrongly affirming that the decisions of the private company VTAN were imputable to the State.

Update: This blog post took me the better part of a day and a half and just as I was posting it I realized I had a huge hole in the logic for my application because of the problem at the bottom. My plan is to come back and clean this up, as Peter suggested, divide it up into a couple of parts. The most important parts are the first couple of paragraphs that talk about the sharedModel classes and the last paragraph that mentions how the AFCS team architected things to build on top of very low level base classes like CollectionNode. Largely this blog post is a mess and digging into CollectionNode was interesting but I recommend it only after having some time playing with the other classes in sharedModel. After that this might be a useful post to read. Diving into the video tutorials is also highly recommended.
The basic building blocks of Adobe Flash Collaboration Services (AFCS) are really the sharedModel package which includes the CollectionNode classes. Using the classes in the sharedModel package you can share any piece of data across AFCS connections and use these classes to build custom collaboration components like charts or maps where data can be updated and must change for everyone who is connected. I'll first talk about some of the classes in the sharedModel package and then dive into how to use the CollectionNode, which provides the base functionality for sharing data.
Shared Models
The classes in the Shared Model package include a number of ways to share data and actions with AFCS. For the most part, the classes in sharedModel all use the CollectionNode to exchange data but they abstract a bit of the nuts and bolts of CollectionNode to make it easier to use. For instance the SharedProperty class lets you take any arbitrary property and share it across AFCS instances. It includes the ability to specify a CollectionNode or to just use one that will be generated as soon as the component using SharedProperty is created. Nigel Pegg has a great tutorial which covers using SharedProperty. Another set of classes in the sharedModel package are the Baton classes. The Baton is essentially a SharedProperty that gives you more control over when a user can edit something. The Baton class helps define when something is currently in use and shouldn't be editable by anyone else in the room. It includes methods to
grab() and
putDown() a baton as well as a
batonHolderChange event that can be used to make changes to the user interface. Nigel's video goes through this as well using the example of a TextInput box. Using the Baton classes it is easy to disable editing of the TextInput while someone else is typing inside of it.
All of the classes above use collection nodes and there are three major parts to the basic CollectionNode: creation, configuration, usage. As the documentation states, an AFCS room is essentially a bunch of CollectionNodes exchanging data and each of those nodes has specific configurations that define who and how people can interact with them. One thing to note is that CollectionNodes can only be created by a room owner, or someone with
UserRoles.OWNER so when creating a CollectionNode, the owner must be the first person in the room so they can "initialize" it. After that the developer can use the NodeConfiguration classes to customize what level of user has read or write access to the node.
Creating a new CollectionNode is pretty straight forward. In this example I'm going to create a mini-game where the participants have to match up a ColorPicker to "win". To set up the game, I've got one CollectionNode with a "Color" node that will contain the values of the ColorPicker. Here's how I create the CollectionNode:
protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { nodeGame = new CollectionNode(); nodeGame.sharedID = "gameNodes"; nodeGame.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, onSync); nodeGame.addEventListener(CollectionNodeEvent.ITEM_RECEIVE, onItemRecieve); nodeGame.subscribe(); }
A few things to notice. First, the sharedID property is described in the docs as the "logical address of the collection within the room" and is how AFCS will refer to it so it needs to be unique. It is also the name that you will see when you browse the nodes in the room console that comes with the SDK. Second, in order to use the node we have to make sure it's synchronized or we'll get an error. After creating the node I added a CollectionNodeEvent listener that fires when we have a synchronization change event. I also added an event handler for when we receive messages upon subscribing to the node which I'll talk about later. Once the
SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE event fires we can start making changes to our CollectionNode:
protected function onSync(event:CollectionNodeEvent):void { var config:NodeConfiguration = new NodeConfiguration(); config.modifyAnyItem = false; config.userDependentItems = true; nodeGame.createNode("Color",config); createMessage(false); }
Now that we're able to make changes to the CollectionNode I can create the Node that will store messages, in this case the "Color" Node. First I need to use the NodeConfiguration class to set up some rules for the game. By setting the
modifyAnyItem property to False I make sure we're not allowing users to modify messages that aren't created by them. The
userDependentItems property set to true means that when the user leaves the room, we clear out all of the messages belonging to them. In our game we don't want to find a match with someone who isn't playing any more. The NodeConfiguration classes allow us to tweak things like what happens to messages as well as define permissions for specific nodes within my CollectionNode. Once we've created the NodeConfiguration I can use the
createNode() method to create a Node named "Color" and pass in the configuration values I just created. The last method there is a function I created. After we create the node and configure it I want to send the value of my ColorPicker to AFCS so I can start playing the game. I do that with a
createMessage()</code< function.
protected function createMessage(overwrite:Boolean):void { var colorMessage:MessageItem = new MessageItem("Color"); colorMessage.itemID = cSession.userManager.myUserID + "_color"; colorMessage.body = color1.selectedColor; nodeGame.publishItem(colorMessage,overwrite); }
createMessage() takes one variable, a Boolean that we'll use to tell AFCS whether or not we are allowed to overwrite an existing message. The first part of the code is where we create our MessageItem to be sent. I'm just creating a new MessageItem and passing in which Node it will belong to, in this case the "Color" node I created above. Then I give it an
itemID which is how it will be referred to by AFCS. I use the current userID and prepend that to the word color. Finally I set the
body of the message. The
body of a MessageItem can be a String, a Boolean, a Number,or a key-value pair. In this case we're just going to pass in our
selectedColor value. Once we create the MessageItem we need to add it to the Node. To do that we use the
publishItem() method on the CollectionNode. This is where I pass in the overwrite flag. In this case, I don't want the MessageItem to be overwritten because this should be the first time we're adding it since we called it from the OnSync method. But later I want to make sure we overwrite it because we're making updates to it.
As soon as we publish our message, it's going to go into AFCS and then AFCS is going to send it back to us so we make sure it was sent correctly. When that happens it will fire an
ITEM_RECEIVE event which we added an event handler for in our initial function. That code looks like this:
protected function onItemRecieve(event:CollectionNodeEvent):void { var tempMessage:MessageItem = event.item; var userName:String = cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(tempMessage.associatedUserID).displayName arrColors.push({color:tempMessage.body,user:userName}); if(tempMessage.associatedUserID != cSession.userManager.myUserID) { if( tempMessage.body == color1.selectedColor ) { Alert.show('Winner! Your partner is: ' + userName); } } }
This is where we start to get to the game. The first to lines just put the MessageItem and user displayName into their own variables. Next we put the selectedColor from our message and the displayName into an array that's stored on the client. This is kind of important. A lot of the sharedModel classes, like SharedProperty for instance, will handle storing data for you but the CollectionNode class doesn't, it's a very basic, low level component. So in this case we can't tell AFCS to send us a list of messages to check and see if there is a match, we have to keep a record within our own application. I do that by storing the information in an Array. Once I do that I want to check if we have a match but I need to make sure we're not matching our own color so I do a quick check using the
associatedUserID and
myUserID from the ConnectSession. Once we know that isn't the case I can check the body of the message with my current color to see if there is a match and pop up the appropriate dialogue.
When we make changes to our color to try and find a match we also need to send the update to AFCS and check our Array so I added an event handler to my ColorPicker for any change event:
protected function color1_changeHandler(event:ColorPickerEvent):void { createMessage(true); for(var i:Number=0; i<arrColors.length; i++) { if(event.color == arrColors[i].color) { Alert.show('Winner! Your partner is: ' + arrColors[i].user); } } }
In this case the first thing we do is call
createMessage() with the overwrite flag set to true so we are overwriting our current message with the new color value instead of creating a new one. Then we run through our array of colors to see if this new color matches anything on the system. Do you notice a problem?
The problem is this: We configured our Node to remove all messages as soon as someone leaves the room but because we're using CollectionNode instead of one of the higher level classes we also have that array that is storing the values. We're using that array to check for a match after we change our color but we don't ever clear out old messages from our array so we might get a match from someone who is no longer logged in. We're also not checking the array and updating values so we have a lot of old data.
Welcome to Multi-User Applications
Multi-user applications are fun but there is also a lot to deal with. Luckily, the AFCS team has done a very good job of building base functionality into classes like CollectionNode and then building on top of them with classes like SharedProperty that take care of a lot of the complicated parts of managing a collaborative application. I tried to get nitty gritty and show how CollectionNode works but I really encourage you to start with the higher level classes, get an idea of what's happening, then break down to the low level base classes when you need to start creating very customized collaborative applications with specific rules, custom components, and many different types of data.
You can grab the full project here (Flash Builder 4 FPX file) and see how the parts fit together. I'll be updating it in the next few days to take into account the problem above and include a version that people can play.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Senior forward Courtney Hurt registered her seventh double-double of the season with game-highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds but VCU fell victim to a high-powered University of Miami squad, falling to the 10th-ranked Hurricanes, 91-61, Thursday evening in the championship game of the Miami Holiday Tournament.
The Hurricanes, who boast the NCAA's highest scoring offense, extended their home winning streak to 32 games, the third-longest active streak in the nation.
Senior Andrea Barbour added 12 points, five rebounds, three assists and four steals for the Rams, while senior Chelsea Snyder added seven points on 3 of 3 shooting off the bench. Hurt was named to the All-Tournament team after averaging an impressive 28.5 points and 18.5 rebounds per game during the two-day event.
The Hurricanes' defense, which ranks second in the nation in both steals and turnover margin, made its presence felt early and often, forcing a series of miscues while limiting VCU to a pair of field goals through the first five minutes. The early push helped Miami (11-2) jump out to a 14-5 lead before the Rams climbed back.
A runner in the lane by junior Carleeda Green and a stick-back from sophomore Robyn Parks made it a five-point game at the 13:33 mark. VCU (8-4) pulled within five on two more occasions over the next 1:33 but it was as close as the Rams would get.
A triple from the right corner by freshman Christina Carter made it an eight-point game with 8:12 showing before Miami scored 16 straight to go up 40-16 at the five-minute mark.
The Hurricanes, who have reached the 90-point plateau eight times during their first 13 games, pushed their lead to 25 on a traditional 3-point play by Suriya McGuire with 2:32 to go, but VCU held Miami without a field goal the remainder of the period and scored eight of the final 10 points to cut the deficit to 49-30 at the break.
Miami pushed its lead back to 23 less than 2:30 into the second half before VCU used a 14-7 spurt and got within 60-44 on a triple by Hurt with 12:30 to go. It was as close as the Rams had been since the seven-minute mark in the first half.
A fast break layup by Hurt with 8:41 left pulled the Black & Gold within 18 but Miami held VCU to just one field goal over the next seven minutes and used a 25-6 run to go on top 91-54 with 1:38 to go. VCU scored the final seven points of the game.
Morgan Stroman paced four Miami players in double figure scoring, finishing with 23 points. Stefanie Yderstrom added 20, while Shenise Johnson and Riquna Williams chipped in 12 apiece. Johnson also grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds
VCU returns to Colonial Athletic Association play on Jan. 5, opening the New Year at James Madison. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. The Rams then return to the Verizon Wireless Arena for back-to-back conference matchups against UNC Wilmington (Jan. 8) and Old Dominion (Jan. 11).

in Joe Bernhart's classroom explore literature in book groups,
each one selecting a novel to read from a set of 10 choices.
Students often receive their first or second choices.
View this video==>
this lesson, students are at various stages in the book group
process that Mr. Bernhart has structured for the class. This
process begins with teacher-directed mini-lessons about literary
concepts. In this case, Mr. Bernhart introduces foreshadowing
as hints in a text that help readers predict what might happen
next in the plot. Students are then asked to apply this concept
to their individual books. Students read aloud their books
during class time, working through the books together. This
allows students to discuss the books as they experience the
literature, constantly reshaping their initial interpretations
of the works, as well as apply new concepts. Students set
new daily and weekly reading goals and consult with the teacher
about their progress, questions, and accomplishments. Each
group appoints a leader and recorder for group discussion.
The students' OWL logs or discussion guides that focus
on their observations, wonderings, and links to real life
serve as a guide for rich dialogue about the literature.
Students select from a wide range of creative book projects
to demonstrate their understanding of their books' plots,
characters, themes, and literary concepts. Students are assessed
through their OWL logs, as well as their book project presentations
to the entire class.
role of the teacher in all phases of these literary activities
is that of facilitator, knowledgeable reader, monitor, and
coach. The teacher also utilizes mini-lessons to provide brief
segments of whole-class, direct instruction on a variety of
literary concepts. Students are then expected to apply new
learning to the novels they are reading in their groups and
later in culminating projects and performance assessments.
in Joe Bernhart's classroom are empowered to make their own
reading choices, monitor their own reading progress, and take
ownership over their own learning. Students are expected to
challenge one another, ask questions, take risks, and think
about what the literature means to them. Students are invited
to open their minds to multiple perspectives, as they consider
their peers' interpretations and a variety of other vantage
all of these rich literature experiences, students hone their
critical literacy skills, construct deep understandings, make
connections to their own lives and the world around them,
and participate in meaningful conversations about literature
with their peers and the teacher.

Breaking Legal News - POSTED: 2012/11/13 18:17
The Supreme Court won't review a decision to throw out sanctions and a $600,000 award against Miami prosecutors in a witness-tampering investigation where members of the defense team had allegedly been secretly recorded.
The high court on Tuesday refused to hear an appeal from Dr. Ali Shaygan, who has been acquitted of 141 counts of illegally prescribing painkillers. A federal judge said publicly that three prosecutors and a Drug Enforcement Administration agent acted "vexatiously and in bad faith" for failing to obtain permission before authorizing two witnesses to record conversations with Shaygan's attorney and his investigator.
But a federal appeals court threw out the sanction and award, saying the judge violated the prosecutors' due process rights in 2009 when he issued a public reprimand for their alleged misconduct.

Students execute Operation Lorax to enhance campus beauty
October 24, 2013
As a way of paying homage to a beloved Dr. Seuss book and to their own values, student group Mystical Groves used their entire budget to execute a project called Operation Lorax. The project involved enhancement of Lewis & Clark's tree canopy, as well as the engraving of a large rectangular stone that states, "Unless someone like you cares a whole lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not."
Kevin "Otter" Kell '13 founded Mystical Groves during his first year at Lewis & Clark after advocating on behalf of trees that were eventually cut down to make way for Gregg Pavilion.
"I started Mystical Groves to help develop a stronger sense of community on the campus as a whole," Kell said. Since then, members have met each week to support and challenge each other's personal growth. In Kell's case, the meetings helped him channel a feeling of helplessness into one of innovation and perseverance that became tangible with the success of Operation Lorax.
Members of Mystical Groves worked with Gabe Bishop and Suzie Spencer of Facilities Services to ensure proper selection and placement of trees. In addition to an oak tree planted on the lawn behind Odell Hall (where the stone is also located) and a maple tree planted near Templeton Campus Center's outdoor stairs, four native trees were planted on the lawn in front of Stewart Hall. These trees contribute to Spencer's personal goal of planting 100 trees on campus within the next five years, as well as Facilities Services' goal to receive designation as a Tree Campus USA by the National Arbor Day Foundation.
"The 100 Trees program was developed to communicate the value of trees to our community and to ensure a viable and diverse canopy for future Lewis & Clark communities," Spencer said. As indicated by Mystical Groves' careful choices about their planting, the success of this project required consideration of multiple factors: new trees must increase the diversity of the existing canopy, fulfill roles of those that have previously been removed, and be located in open spaces that do not conflict with future construction plans.
Joshua Proto '16, the current leader of Mystical Groves, hopes that the stone will serve as a permanent reminder to the community of just how important it is to follow through on your dreams, desires, passions, and goals. With Operation Lorax, members of Mystical Groves have succeeded in their ambition to highlight the importance of humanity's duty to the environment.
This year, the group is working to apply for a Green Fee Fund grant that will allow them to plant more trees. They intend to put any additional money in their budget toward the same cause.

MIIS alumna, Joyce Kling (MA TESOL '88), was awarded one of eight doctoral dissertation grants awarded annually by The International Research Foundation for English Language Education (TIRF). Joyce is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Copenhagen writing her dissertation on "Teacher Cognition: English-medium instruction at LIFE [faculty of life sciences]." Her research project examines teaching behavior in English-medium instruction courses described by Danish professors of natural science. The project seeks to reveal underlying teacher cognitions about professional identity related to teaching through a foreign language in the multicultural, multilingual graduate classroom.
On a personal note, Joyce is married to MIIS graduate Daniel Kim Soren (MBA '92). Kim had come to MIIS from Denmark on a FUHU scholarship to study business, and Joyce was teaching a summer ESL course. They have two daughters, aged 9 and 11.

New TKC70 combines the best of the TKC80 off-road tire and ContiTrailAttack 2 on-road Adventure tire!
-Brand new Conti-tire with rugged off-road capability and a balanced street performance
-Only trail-tire with a radial design constructed for off-road use – Handmade in Germany
-TKC 70 is positioned for 60% on-road and 40% off-road use
-Unique tread block pattern makes the TKC 70 quiet and stable on the road while still providing good off-road capability
-Agile on streets and safe on gravel roads
-MultiGrip: Continentals own semi-dual compound technology allows different levels of hardness on the central tread and shoulder area (more mileage and improved grip)
-RainGrip: New compound with outstanding grip in wet weather conditions and very short warm-up phase
-The 0° steel belted construction guarantees high stability and a low kickback
"For the vast majority of off-highway travel, the TKC70s are a perfect compromise for heavy ADV bikes that will spend more time on road than off. They offer far superior dirt grip than the TrailAttack2 while offering very similar traction on the road. Unless your route includes sand, mud, or very soft and/or rocky terrain, the TKC70 is a wise choice because it's designed to last a lot longer than a knobby." Cycle World 8/18/14

SEATTLE — People with knowledge of the situation said today that investor Chris Hansen has contacted the Maloof family about buying the Sacramento Kings.
The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no deal has been reached.
One person says the Kings could sell for more than $500 million. The Kings' future in Sacramento has been uncertain because the Maloofs and the city haven't been able to come up with a long-term arena solution.
Yahoo! Sports first reported the discussions between the Kings and Hansen. Yahoo! reported a possible sale could land the Kings in Seattle for the 2013-14 season.
Hansen reached agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million arena near the city's other stadiums: CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. As part of the agreement, no construction will begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured.
Hansen's group is expected to pitch in $290 million in private investment toward the arena, along with helping to pay for transportation improvements in the area around the stadiums. The plans also call for the arena to be able to handle a future NHL franchise. The remaining $200 million in public financing would be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena, and if that money falls short, Hansen would be responsible for making up the rest. Other investors in the proposed arena include Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and two members of the Nordstrom department store family.
The NBA had no comment. Representatives for Hansen did not return messages seeking comment. Any franchise looking to relocate must submit their plans to the NBA by March 1 and the move must be approved by the league.
"As we have said for nearly a year, we will not comment on rumors or speculation about the Sacramento Kings franchise," Maloof family spokesman Eric Rose said when contacted today by the AP.
The Kings' asking price would top the NBA-record $450 million the Golden State Warriors sold for in July 2010. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, a former NBA All-Star, tweeted today, "Bottom line Sacramento: it's not over."
News of the discussions came a day after officials in Virginia Beach, Va., announced they were dropping their efforts to build a new arena. Virginia Beach was thought to be a relocation option for the Kings.
The Maloofs backed out of a tentative $391 million deal for a new downtown arena with Sacramento last year, reigniting fears the franchise could relocate. Johnson and the Kings broke off all negotiations in the summer.
In 2011, the Kings appeared determined to move to Anaheim before Johnson convinced the NBA to give the city one last chance to help finance an arena. At one point, Johnson seemed so certain the team was gone he called the process a "slow death" and compared the city's efforts to keep the Kings a "Hail Mary."
Johnson made a desperate pitch to the NBA Board of Governors last April, promising league owners the city would find a way to help finance a new arena to replace the team's current outdated suburban facility. He also bought time by presenting more than $10 million in commitments for new advertising, ticket purchases and other financial support from regional businesses for this season.
The NBA's relocation committee, headed by Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett — who moved the team now known as the Thunder from Seattle in 2008 — recommended that the league give the city a shot to follow through and handed down a March 1 deadline to come up with a plan to help finance an arena. Johnson delivered the agreement on March 1 to send the plan to the City Council.
On the night of March 6, 2012, the Sacramento City Council passed a deal — brokered by the NBA and with the blessing of Commissioner David Stern — for a new downtown arena. A sea of supporters packed the grounds for the vote, which seemingly saved the Kings from relocation.
Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof also attended the meeting. He thanked the council and said his family looked forward to working with the city to finalize plans that would keep the franchise in Sacramento for at least another 30 years.
The Maloofs broke off talks with Johnson and the city over the summer. The Kings have said the deal didn't make financial sense for the franchise.

Hard to date these now, but I would guess they're from at least three years ago based on the last time I can remember sticking stuff in. I'd go through all my magazines and tear out images I liked every few months, then faff about arranging them moodboard-style in these A3 sketchbooks. Nowadays I read (far, far fewer) magazines on my ipad and do most of my collecting on Pinterest or in Dropmark without even touching a piece of paper or pair of scissors in the process. Technology!

"More than two decades ago, my first full-time teaching experience was at a business college in Washington, D.C. I taught English, typing, and an array of other classes."
"Today, I am still in the classroom, and while I am not teaching typing, teaching in a computer lab makes for several comparisons. When I learned that I would teach writing using the computer, I had a few anxious moments and many questions, such as, 'What will I do while students are typing their papers?'"
"It took only one class meeting to answer that question. I helped students with their writing while they were actively engaged in the process, but I also had to learn how to address various technical difficulties. In the last few years, I have also learned to teach online. Yes, it is a long journey from the typing classroom to the internet."

MANCHESTER, Ill. (AP) — Authorities say the five people found shot to death inside a home in a tiny central Illinois community were two young brothers, their parents and their great-grandmother.
Illinois State Police identified the victims Thursday as 1-year-old Brantley Ralston and 5-year-old Nolan Ralston.
Their slain parents are 29-year-old James Roy Ralston and 23-year-old Brittney Luark, who was also pregnant.
The fifth victim is Luark's grandmother and great grandmother of the boys, 67-year-old Jo Ann Sinclair.
The bodies were discovered Wednesday inside a home in Manchester, located about 50 miles west of Springfield.
A short time later the suspect in the shootings was killed in a gun battle with police.
