Cooler Master Notepal U Stand Review
Most people these days are buying laptops to handle their home computing needs. Their added mobility and small size are very appealing and have driven people away from being tied down to using a desktop PC. With this trend, more and more people are looking for solutions to help keep their laptops cool, and one of the leading companies making products to fill this need is Cooler Master. One of its newer offerings in this area is the Notepal U Stand. This aluminum cooler is unique in that it allows the laptop base to be tilted at various heights to provide a level of customization that most coolers don't provide. It will be exciting to see how well the U Stand holds up compared to other coolers. So far the Notepal series from Cooler Master has done pretty well. The U3 got a Gold award from us a year ago, so I have high hopes for the U Stand!
Closer Look:
The packaging that the U Stand comes in is very similar to other Cooler Master products — just a plain cardboard box that's pretty easy to open. The front shows a picture of the cooler and has a small picture of how to set the cooler up correctly, while the back has a listing of all the features and specifications of the device itself.
Opening the box reveals the cooler tucked neatly inside with some protective Styrofoam keeping it safe. Underneath the cooler is a box which contains the removable fans as well as a USB to Mini-USB cable, which is used to provide power to the fans.

Our challenge
Integration of world first cloud-based IN (Intelligent network) and solution was deployed by Redknee in cooperation with VCE. VCEs vBlock solution was integrated with Redknee's Unified in record time, migrating over 17 million subscribers in a very short project timeframe. Some of the challenges during project phase:
- OSI Layer 3,4 and 5 integration with existing systems, including provisioning, back-office support and billing systems
- Redknee Unified deployment into VCEs cloud-based solution in OSI layer 7
- Replacement of existing legacy solutions for both live and test systems
Customers were migrated over a 2 month period in several stages, the final stage being the migration of MVNE subscribers on 25 Feb 2015 when the last range of subscriber data was migrated to the new system. Customer satisfaction was high since this kind of project was never done before.

I made 7 half-pints last night, to Mr. Myrt's delight. Normally I don't like marmalade, but this yummy recipe really jumped off the page at me. I had to try it. It's from the 2012 Better Homes and Gardens Special Interest Publications: Canning. Unfortunately their website doesn't have the recipe on it, yet. This is my abbreviated version, with my own pics and comments.
START with 2 medium lemons - Score peel, then section, reserving the lemon sections. Discard white part of rind. (Even though it was a lot of hard work to remove the white membrane from inside of the lemon peel, it was worth the effort. Be sure to use a very sharp knife to make long, thin slices of the peel for this recipe.) Cut rind into thin slices.
Bring to a boil then simmer in large saucepan for 20 minutes:
- thinly sliced lemon peels.
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Add and simmer for 10 more minutes:
- finely chopped lemon sections and any lemon juice to large saucepan above
- 3 cups crushed strawberries (about six cups whole berries)
- 5 cups sugar
Pack marmalade into 1/2 pint or 1/4 pint sterilized jars with 1/4 inch head space. Wipe jar rim, secure new canning lid with ring. Process in water-bath canner for 5 minutes, once the water returns to boiling. Processing time may be longer in in higher elevations. Good to store for up to one year in the pantry under normal conditions.
STAND: 2 weeks before opening, to allow the flavors to merge.
We couldn't wait the two weeks, and tried some of the marmalade. It was marvelous, if I do say so myself.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
Your friend in genealogy.

The once omnipresent French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has been lying low for weeks as his approval ratings tumbled. But his absence did not save his right-wing party, Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), from an embarrassing rout.
In closely watched local elections on Sunday, voters deserted the president's camp for the opposition Socialists. After a decade in the political wilderness and back-to-back national defeats, the French left returned with a roar, winning control of a majority of major metropolitan and regional assemblies.
Jubilant Socialist leaders immediately demanded a rollback of Mr. Sarkozy's economic reforms and an increase in public spending.
Ségolène Royal, who lost to Sarkozy in last year's presidential race but remains one of the Socialist Party's most high-profile members, called the results a "punishment" of the president's policies and a public censure of his governing style. Ms. Royal called on him to repeal tax cuts and work-incentives enacted last year.
Overall, the French right won 47.6 percent of the votes nationwide while the Socialists won 49.3 percent. Voter turnout, at 62 percent for city council races and 55 percent for regional assembly elections, was one of the lowest in years.
In televised remarks, Prime Minister François Fillon repeated the government's preelection mantra that the vote turned on local issues and was not a referendum on the president's tumultuous first nine months in office.
"It is inappropriate to draw national lessons from this vote," Mr. Fillon said. "And it should not be manipulated for partisan interests."
The Socialists won back city halls in 38 cities with populations of 20,000 or more, nearly making up for the 40 cities they lost in the last municipal elections in 2001. They held on to Paris, where Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoë was assured of a second term, and they picked up the trophies of Strasbourg and Toulouse.
The one bright spot for the right was that it held onto the hotly contested city of Marseille, the second-largest in France and a traditional left-wing stronghold.
The results were not unexpected, given the precipitous drop in Sarkozy's popularity this year. While he said he retains his reforming zeal, he has already started to backpedal from his ambitious plans to deregulate the economy and reduce the government's size.
The local elections do not change the overall balance of power. Sarkozy's right-wing UMP party still controls the National Assembly and the Senate. But now that the Socialist Party has shed its losing image from their defeat in parliamentary elections last year, it could mount a more coherent resistance. And the president's now-sobered allies in parliament may be less eager to take on confrontational issues.
The influential French newspaper Le Monde predicted the government will be forced to compromise with the opposition. "Voters have given the left a majority in local governments, while simultaneously imposing a sort of 'cohabitation' on the parliamentary majority," it editorialized on Monday.
Some conservatives tried to cast the results as a simple political correction or a tough-love message from voters to speed up reforms.
"Yes, it's a defeat," said Jean-François Copé, the UMP majority leader in the National Assembly. But he read it as the unhappy conjunction of "malcontents" on the left and right-wing voters "impatient" for faster change.
An opinion poll published this weekend by the Ipsos-Dell institute lent some support to that interpretation. The survey found that quirks once considered Sarkozy's strength – his insistence that he would single-handedly solve the country's problems, for example – have come to be seen as liabilities. Most people surveyed said they wanted to see less of him.
While respondents criticized him as lacking the proper gravitas for a French president, they also continued to back his policies. Only 1 in 4 respondents wanted the president to abandon his reform program.
The Socialists also talked of reform, saying they took the local election results as a mandate to oppose Sarkozy's plans to increase the public's share of health care costs and give employers greater flexibility in hiring.
Although it appeared to have shed its loser image, the French left still has its own internal divisions to overcome before it can mount a substantial challenge. Many of its victories in the local elections came only after Socialist lists merged for the second round with the Greens and centrists.
The traditional core of the party wants to renew the 30-year-old strategy of uniting all the left-wing parties, from moderate Socialists to the antiglobalization activists and Communists. Ms. Royal, the former presidential candidate, leads another faction that sees the party's only future as a center-left coalition along the lines of other European Socialists.
The municipal elections left some doubt as to whether France has a viable centrist movement. Only last year, the centrist François Bayrou won third place, with nearly 19 percent of the national vote, in the first round of presidential elections. But his party, MoDem, won less than 2 percent of the votes cast nationwide in city hall races. On Sunday, Mr. Bayrou failed to get reelected as mayor of his hometown of Pau, in the southwest.

Girls explore East River Parks hidden ecosystem
Downtown Express photo by Jefferson Siegel
Students took a closer look at worms they found just below the surface of the soil.
By Jefferson Siegel
Their names are familiar, their achievments are historic...Marie Curie and radium, Jane Goodall and primatology, Margaret Mead and anthropology. The sciences are gender nonspecific, but the accomplishments of women in science are legendary.
Recently, future students of the environment gathered in East River Park for an afternoon of education and activism in the natural sciences. At a two-day seminar at the Lower East Side Ecology Center, 14 members of the Lower Eastside Girls Club had a hands-on learning experience with the fish, birds and assorted fauna that comprise the local ecosystem.
Inside the old Fireboat House, located in the park near Grand St., is a classroom filled with living examples of the natural sciences. Tara DePorte, the director of environmental education at the center, pointed at a water tank on the floor, noting that it was a river-tank ecosystem filled with East River water.
On the large fish swimming inside, Kate Zidar, another scientist at the center, elaborated: Striped bass are really common around here. We catch them. You see them all the time coming out of the river. This one is a juvenile, very small. This time of year you can catch 35-inch striped bass.
The room was also filled with the sounds of chirping birds. DePorte said theyre zebra finches from South Africa. In another glass case were crickets, anoles a type of lizard and tree frogs. Sometimes theyre bright green, DePorte said, it depends on their mood and their temperature.
As part of its Earth Day programs, the ecology center hosted New York Women in Science, promoting activism, education and research for young women in the natural science so the nine-year-old Girls Club was a natural.
Zidar added, A lot of these kids never come to the water, so just making the trip, by the time they get here, its such a world away that you really get their attention. This location really lends itself to that kind of education.
DePorte laid out the days agenda: Were going to be doing an observe your environment, whats around you, what can you see, whats in the air, on land, in the water, she said. The young women, from schools including the Satellite Academy of Arts on E. Houston St. and the Leadership and Public Service High School on Trinity Pl. in Lower Manhattan, split into two groups.
DePorte led her group in studies of composting and soil. Zidar talked about issues like East River exploration, water pollution and uses of the river. Her group walked a few steps to the pilings by the rivers edge, just south of the Williamsburg Bridge. As the girls peered over the railing, Zidar conducted a plankton tow by dropping a sock-shaped bag on a rope into the river. Pulling it up, the water drained out, leaving a cup on the end filled with tiny river residents. She poured the contents into a container and the girls
crowded around to see what had been caught. As they squinted at a tiny fish and some smaller fauna, Zidar told them, The East River is not a river, its a tidal street. Noticing the looks of interest on the young faces, she added, I say thank you every day to Sponge Bob because now everybody knows what plankton is.
On the other side of the building, DePorte and her group fanned out through the park with notebooks and shovels. Plants, grass, weeds, rock formations and bugs were spotted and noted. Then the shovels dug just below the surface, where worms, grubs and roots came to light.
The girls gathered their specimens and notebooks and returned to the classroom. There, they looked at the days catch under magnifying glasses as DePorte and Zidar moved along the rows of tables, describing what they saw.
As the girls examined the microbes more closely under microscopes, DePorte, who has traveled to the Caribbean and South America for scientific research, gave them a good reason to pursue their studies: As a science student, you get to go to really cool places.
Anytime people come down here theyre very excited, added DePorte. Weve had Saturday open houses, people having picnics will come in and be amazed. The kids love it, but the adults, theyre even more amazed and they want to come back and ask,
When are you open?
The center is open Saturdays from 12 p.m.- 4 p.m. through September. During the week, they offer outreach programs to public schools, community centers and after-school programs in the Lower East Side. For more information, visit http://lesecologycenter.org/.

Norwegian deliveries
Norwegian deliveries
@Benz. Great news - pls let me know if you have new info . By the way - Tesla should have such info on their official web pages
I found my car. they "test-drive" it. (relax, no VIN yet.)
It is now 3 years since i ordered the Model S. With delivery first Q 2013, the first 2 1/2 years waiting had Bern ok. But the last 6 months has been long. To not get it in July was hard. But my garage is ready. Trying to put the picture out.
Waiting is good! Remember the moment, as a kid at Xmas when you'd opened the last present and pushed aside the wrappings? Nothing more to anticipate! What a letdown.
yea, but a lot of people got expected delivery date "june/july" and now it seems for another (at least 3rd) delay... but, well, I guess it's better to wait for finished product than got unfinished car with many bugs needed to be resolved in service center after delivery :-)
Placed my order in June.. I gues i still got to wait until december.
Weird thing is after reading these forums and having my test drive in Bergen. I have already sarted to look upon the New Bmw's, mercedes, and audis driving around me and thinking "what a waste".
Stupid people still driving around in old and outdated cars.. then it dawns on me... I still do myselfe!!!
What is the highest sequence number that has changed status from "order confirmend..." to "Model S in production..."?
Can anyone answer Roger's question?
Unfortunately, I don't think it will change. Last time I spoke to Tesla i asked - and there are no other updates until you take delivery. I would have like to see the actual status, in Production, being shipped etc but apparently there are no such plans..... this is also reported in other forums
But go ahead and request it - added pressure may force things to happen !
With gas pushing $10 a US gallon in Norway plus the tax breaks on EVs there, I can see how a Model S makes economic since there!
My latest communication with Tesla indicated late august / september for my P220 / VIN143XX... It was originally indicated to be delivered in July / August, thus already a potential delay as it seems very likely it will be delivered September... Wellwell, spending all my money in Florida these days anyhow, guess a small delay is good for getting my wallet straightened out at least! :)
I doubt pestering will work. It would be an admin mega-mess to keep up. Do you know any other car company that provides such info?
@Brian H
YES, VOLVO! ---> Your car is still in the English Channel!
Correct Julius! If same happens to Tesla, all fish will be dead there, not so eco from Tesla...
Waiting in Davey Jones' Garage.
Mail from Tesla July 4th;
"There is no delay in Model S deliveries, all we did is that we will start a bit later instead of July in August, but this wont affect your Model S delivery.
As we are going to ramp up production and delivery very rapidly. So you can still expect your Model S in September – October."
I reserved and paied my deposit end of dec 2012. It's soon time to sell my Kia Sportage.. :-)
@ j.gjerde
"As we are going to ramp up production and delivery very rapidly."
If this is true than this is very significant BREAKING NEWS, I would say. Right?
Would it be possible for you to get this reconfirmed?
And could you try to find out who exactly gave you this information?
I got my Vin# 16910 today! I was EU2144 before.
Norway P85+
How to change name to VINnie 16XXX?
You're still EU2144. Both numbers are relevant/interesting. Reservation order and manufacturing order are parallel, but far from identical.
Edit your profile and the new name tag will be displayed on all posts, old and new.
I got the information in a mail from Roxana Prange | European Ownership Experience Advocate (email: email@example.com)
@ j.gjerde
Can you contact Roxana Prange by Phone as well?
Looks like they will start deliveries soon...
Hopefully some of you will create a thread and tell us about your experiences here in Norway. Starting with deliveries, and follow up with how the cars works out. I am perticularely interrested in how the car actually function in the Norwegian winter!
Didn't Elon say that the first SC's would be up and running when deliveries started?
Been checking Norwegian forums, and if they are correct it looks like the first SC outside of the US will be in Gol, Norway. Apparently it's under construction, so Elon was correct... ;-)
My tesla Ipone app went live to day:
So it is moving closer now. Possibly loaded off the boat in Drammen Harbour??
Eu SIg #52
psirnes - how did you get Your iphone app ??
FYI - i have EU sig 51 and VIN 14910 so i am next to you. I have info that cars will arrive Drammen - but not sure if we can pick up cars there...
you still have to have an US itunes account to download the app. but I suppose it will soon turn up in the verious EU countries "itunes home page).
To establish an US Itunes they require an US credit card. To go around this surf on the net and find a provider for an on-line Itunes gift gard which you can buy with your own credit card.
Check also
I bought one for $25 , The Tesla app is free though, use the rest to download movies , songs or any thing. The account has to be zero before wou can switch back to your own country, I had to call Itunes to get rid of 75 cents,
Here is how you can get a US Itunes account without credit card or gift card:
Still no VIN for me, so then I have a beer!
Today I confirmed the order, had to punch in my birth-number and driving licence number, and voila, my NOK 230.000,- is unrefundable. Good riddance! Just the thrill of waiting makes this one of my best investments ever.. Its like waiting for one of my kids, only that was over in merely 9 months. I must admit the emotional investment is comparable...
I'm only a man.
Try wine. In VINo veritas.
more delays :-( When Tesla called on June 19 they said delivery would be late July/Aug 1 (week 31). When asking yesterday i was told it was likely to get my VIN 14910 in week 32 or 33....
Very unfortuneate - it must be the 5th or 6th delay info i get...
My order is on hold!
Or I can confirm my order now.... I will do this later, with my wife.
Wow week 32-33 that is only a few weeks from now, how exciting...
Got rervarion #67. No news, calls, e-mails ....nothing. Got the VIN number. .......
NOK 230,000 is $37,500 USD. Was this the amount they required you to put down for a deposit?
What is the TOTAL purchase price for a P85 in NOK?
I confirmed mine today as well... I have confirmed once or twice before too, thus I guess I'm REALLY confirmed this time!! Now it states "sourcing for parts"...
Reporter from Bloomberg stated on July 11 video report the European cars are "on the water" toward delivery!
Very exciting.
Can anyone confirm they got same info from Tesla?
@SD Supercharger:
For a sig performance with absolutely everything included (nordic winter package + + + +) except the + -variant (I am not used to supercars, I don't think I would even notice the difference), I am set back NOK 702 000,-
I started saving for this car 4 years ago, having followed Tesla Motors since before the first roadster was on the assembly line. 700 000 in Norway is really not very much money for an awsome car, where an M5 goes for more than the double. A used M5 from 2012 apprx 1 500 000....
EU S- 76, win:14976- I also got the: Dashboard now says "We have begun sourcing parts for your order", message today, and also was asked to give details about social security number and license number. A few hours later the message was gone and the area is blank.
Same here....
@ppape: that would be the water test that may take up to 3 weeks... according to some post on this forum.
I guess this is my lucky day. I get the same status changes many of you get. And I did not even order a Sig.

DailyDirt: Comparing US Schools To...
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Japan's education system may teach us that instituting strict standards testing is unproductive. Teaching to the test and similar practices has been blamed for creating a less innovative culture and students who are less prepared to adapt to changes. [url]
- Another suggestion is to pay teachers more, so that teachers have resources and incentives to become better teachers. Countries like South Korea, Singapore and Finland pay their teachers well and provide social prestige for educators. [url]
- The role of American parents in their kids' primary school education differs somewhat widely versus Chinese parents. One big difference seems to be that Chinese parents blame their kids' lack of effort, but American parents more often blame the lack of ability of the child, teacher or school. [url]

OpenStack:Essex Build Node
From DocWiki
The Build Node Deployment Guide provides instructions for deploying an OpenStack Build Node. The Build Node consists of several software components used to automate the deployment and management of an OpenStack environment.
The Build Node is based on the following software versions:
- Ubuntu: 12.04
- Cobbler: 2.2.2-0ubuntu33
- Puppet: 2.7.11
- NTP: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1
Ensure you have met the following prerequisites:
- Download the Ubuntu Precise ISO to a location that can be accessed by the Build Node CIMC: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-server-amd64.iso
- Before starting the installation process, ensure that RAID is configured if a RAID Controller is present.
- Create a DNS entry for the name of the Build Node. Note: By default Puppet Agents expect to register to the Puppet Master with the name puppet. If the name of the Build Node is not puppet, ensure puppet.conf is configured with the correct name of the Build Node. This is typically accomplished using the cobbler-node.pp file.
- Time synchronization is required for proper operation of the system. Ensure you have at least one NTP server where nodes can pull time. Note: The default preseed file uses the UTC time zone, so ensure UTC is used for the Build Node or make the appropriate changes to the preseed file.
Ubuntu Installation
1. Open your web browser and log into the CIMC of the Build Node. 2. Select BIOS under the Server tab and ensure that the boot order starts with CD/DVD and then Hard Disk. Note: Since the Build Node is being built manually; PXE Boot is not a necessary boot option. 3. Launch the Virtual KVM and accept any security warnings that may appear. 4. Mount the Ubuntu Precise ISO by selecting the Virtual Media tab, click Add Image… and browse to the location of the Ubuntu Precise ISO previously downloaded (from the Prerequisites Section). Lastly, make sure the Mapped check box is checked.

GEORGETOWN, Texas — A former Texas prosecutor who won a conviction that sent an innocent man to prison for nearly 25 years agreed today to serve 10 days in jail and complete 500 hours of community service.
Ken Anderson also agreed to be disbarred and was fined $500 as part of a sweeping deal that was expected to end all criminal and civil cases against the embattled ex-district attorney, who presided over a tough-on-crime Texas county for 30 years.
Anderson faced up to 10 years in prison if convicted of tampering with evidence in the 1987 murder trial of Michael Morton, who wrongly spent nearly 25 years in prison.
Morton was released in 2011 after DNA evidence showed he didn't beat his wife to death.

Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - Gregor and Tomas - FULL CONTACT
Gregor and Tomas - FULL CONTACT
Gregor Bortel has gone to see Tomas Kukal at the rehabilitation centre. Tomas is going to take him through some exercises and then massage him to help him with his recovery from an injury. The start off with some exercises, stretching the muscles. Gregor dutifully copies everything that Tomas does until he is fully stretched. Then he lays on the pommel horse for his massage. Tomas takes some oil and drips it on Gregor's chest and then begins to work it in with his fingers. They move over Gregor's chest and abdomen and then down to his legs. After working on the legs Tomas pulls the leg of Gregor's shorts aside and takes hold of his cock. He begins to wank it with his oily hand, feeling it swell from his touch. Gregor's cock soon gets hard and Tomas leans over and kisses him on the mouth. Then he works his way down Gregor's body, kissing as he goes, until his mouth reaches that hard cock. He sucks on the cock and, after removing the shorts, on the balls too. His mouth works over that cock and his tongue licks up and down the shaft. As he sucks Tomas' cock also gets hard. He removes his shorts and slides his cock into Gregor's mouth for him to suck. Then Tomas swings a leg over so that his ass is positioned over Gregor's face with the cheeks spread. Gregor wastes no time in getting a taste of that sweet hole, his tongue flicking at it very nicely. As he rims Tomas' ass Gregor wanks himself and then they move, so that Tomas is on his knees on the horse with Gregor behind him, sliding his cock in and out of that tight hole. He fucks Tomas with nice long strokes, slowly working in and out of his hole. Tomas loves the feeling and changes position, so that he is on his back, with a leg in the air. Gregor's dick is deep in his ass, filling it real well. Another change sees Gregor on his back and Tomas sitting right down on that rock hard cock, riding it real well. He loves how that cock feels in his ass and his own dick is throbbing, hard and ready to blow. Tomas takes hold of it and wanks it as he continues to ride on Gregor's. Soon he shoot his load all over the horse with his ass still riding Gregor. Then Tomas lays on the horse so that Gregor can shoot his cum all over his chest. He then takes the spent cock in his mouth to drain it completely as a finale to a great scene.
... more about Gregor and Tomas - FULL CONTACT further in this newsletter
Our Coming Soon Set Preview
Jakub Nakuda is a real good looking guy, we find him sitting on the sofa in his underwear. His cock is hard and he takes it out and starts to wank it. As he is wanking Rado Smutny appears, again in just his underwear. He leans over and kisses Jakub and reaches down to feel his cock. Rado then straddles the back of the sofa and Jakub feels him in his undies, pulling his cock and out sucking on it. He really works his mouth all over Rado's big, hard cock and then they get into a hot 69. Rado is a great sucker too and he loves to rim a hot ass. Soon his tongue is lapping at Jakubs' hole. Jakub wants more than just a tongue though and climbs up and sits right down on Rado's throbbing dick. He rides it up and down and then let Rado take over, with fucking him hard. A change of position see Rado's dick deep in that eager hole. He really stretches that ass and Jakub wanks himself hard and fast until he shoots a nice big load for us. Rado pulls out of Jakub's ass and shoots his load all over it, leaning forward to kiss him as a nice finale.

Mr. Geoff has arrived in Prague from the UK. Franky, Boris, and Miro have been getting ready for the white glove inspection of the studio for days. Geoff brought us lots of bits and bobs from the UK that were needed in the studio for which we're very grateful. Weather is still holding fine in Prague.
Perhaps you read, someone shot the Czech President with an airsoft pistol several times, while his bodyguards stood their dumbfounded. Then the assailant gave two brief TV interviews before the local police arrested him. All one can says is 'amazing.'
I have been setting up our new editing computer to go with my new Jeezus camera with built in steady cam. Hopefully, we'll soon be cranking out solo shoots shot entirely with the new camera.
Our lead off set today is a great duo with Gregor Bortel and Tomas Kukal. That is followed by Albert Sin's Massage and a lovely erotic video from Albert Kroka. Finally we have newcomer Dario Musketa in his session stills.
Our castings today look good too, Zdenek Vyska, Dalibor Radnic, Ulrich Kaspar and Kuba Dochvilny. They all look very good to me but my pick of the day will be Kuba.

He's Back
Thursday, Jul. 03, 2014
As many theater patrons already know, the Old Lyric Repertory Company, part of the Caine College of the Arts at Utah State University, has welcomed W. Lee Daily back to the Caine Lyric Theatre stage for the 2014 season.
A year ago, Daily announced that he would be leaving the valley to pursue other opportunities outside the state. Many patrons were saddened by the news of Daily leaving Cache Valley; however, the Lyric Rep came calling.
"Once we selected the season and began to assemble the company, we wanted to get Lee Daily here for the summer," said Richie Call, co-artistic director for the Lyric Rep. "Lee is such a talented actor, he's so wonderful to work with and our audiences really respond to him. He also happens to be one of my best friends, and the summer wouldn't have been the same without him."
Daily said he is often recognized and approached whenever he is out in the community. He loves when the Summer Citizens talk to him and discuss the shows they have seen him perform in.
"I love acting at the Caine Lyric Theatre because it's so intimate," said Daily. "You can feel the audience's energy, and they can feel yours."
While many throughout the community were saddened by the news of Daily moving on, those who actively participate in the Summer Citizen program at USU were shocked.
"Last summer when word got out that Lee was leaving Cache Valley you could almost hear a collective gasp," said Patrick Williams, director of internal communications at USU and fellow Lyric actor. "There were even letters to the editor about it. After all, it wouldn't be a summer at the Lyric without Lee."
It is good news for many that he has returned for another season, Williams added.
This summer will mark Daily's 45th show as an actor for the Lyric Rep, taking on four major roles in the 2014 Lyric Rep season. Daily has been cast as Hysterium in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Sprules in Tons of Money, one of six cast members in The Musical of Musicals, The Musical! and Ross in The Elephant Man.
"Four roles can definitely be tiring, but it is also rewarding," said Daily. "Memorizing and remembering my lines can be difficult, but my greatest challenge has been the dancing in The Musical of Musicals, The Musical! It is fun but exhausting."
Vanessa Ballam is a long-time friend and professional colleague of Daily's. Currently, she is directing Daily in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum but she has also acted alongside Daily for many years at the Lyric and with the Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre.
"I love working with Lee as an actor because he's very giving — totally unselfish and supportive of everyone else on the stage," said Ballam. "I also love working with Lee as a director because he is willing to try anything and he is so professional."
This is a sentiment that seems to be echoed by many.
"While I've seen and enjoyed Lee on stage in many, many productions, I'd never had the chance to work with him at the Lyric until Amadeus was done several years ago," said Williams. "I was nervous about returning to the stage after a 10-plus year hiatus, but working with Lee — and the rest of the cast, I must say — made that easy."
Daily's first acting job came at the age of 3. He recalls crying when he got in front of the audience and someone coming to take him off stage. He didn't give acting another try until college.
"Someone suggested I try out for a musical and I got the bug," said Daily. "I always wanted to be an actor but I was too shy. Acting brought me out of my shell."
Soon after, Daily transferred from Snow College to USU as a theater major. Before being cast as an actor for the Lyric Rep, he auditioned unsuccessfully three times. The first time Daily took stage at the Caine Lyric Theatre in 1993 in Cotton Patch Gospel, it was to fill in for another actor who had an accident.
Daily has been a professional actor for 22 years. His first paying job was at the Pink Garter Theatre in Jackson Hole in 1992.
There are many things theatregoers adore about Daily, but more than anything, people love how he makes them laugh, said Ballam.
"I think theatregoers love Lee because he is so genuine in everything he does," said Ballam. "He has great comedic timing and he is unabashed about his work on the stage."
For more information and tickets for the 2014 Lyric Rep season, visit the CCA Box Office located in room 139-B of the Chase Fine Arts Center on USU's Logan campus, call 435-797-8022 or see the Caine College's Production Services website. The box office is open from 9 a.m.-noon Monday through Friday. Tickets may also be purchased at the Caine Lyric Theatre in downtown Logan at 28 West Center Monday through Friday 1-4 p.m. and one hour prior to curtain on show nights.

The recipients of this year's 2003 Cotton Town USA grants – Moultrie, Ga., Somerville, Tenn., and Ropesville, Texas – each will receive a $10,000 grant to fund community improvement projects.
"After reviewing the many contest applications, it is apparent that rural American towns are facing economic challenges," says Cotton Nelson, manager, public relations for the National Cotton Council. "These three Cotton Town grant recipients provided clear plans on how they want to improve their communities for the benefit of their citizens.
"With the support of Bayer CropScience, they will be able to make those plans a reality."
All three towns have indicated specific community projects for the grant dollars. Moultrie plans to put the funds toward the completion of Moss Farms Aquatic Center, a state-of-the-art diving facility established by local cotton farmer Moose Moss.
"As a designated Cotton Town USA, Moultrie will host many opportunities to educate and showcase the unique ways cotton farming has inspired excellence in South Georgia," writes Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., who nominated Moultrie for the Cotton Town USA award.
The West Texas community of Ropesville will use their grant money to preserve and maintain the town's oldest historic building, as well as add handicapped accessibility to this community gathering place.
"This building is important to the community not only for its historical significance but also because it is the only available meeting place for civic and social events," says Jerry Beth Shannon, Ropesville's nominator and retired librarian.
Somerville, Tenn., proposes their grant be matched by town funds to contribute to the restoration of the historic Fair Theatre.
"We hope to make theater central to Somerville's surrounding towns, Fayette County's adjoining counties, and the metropolitan Memphis area," writes Jamie Jenkins, county Extension agent, in his nomination for Somerville.
Cotton Town USA grants are available to towns that rely on cotton production as a cultural and economic cornerstone. Applicants are asked to complete a nomination form that includes demonstrating why theirs is a cotton town, and a short explanation of why their town should receive the award and what it would do with the grant money if their community was selected.
Moultrie, Ropesville and Somerville were selected out of more than 70 applications received this year.
"Bayer CropScience recognizes these towns for representing the importance of cotton in our lives," says Scott Johnson, insecticide business manager, Bayer CropScience. "We are proud to add value to cotton communities through the Cotton Town USA program."
Cotton Town USA is part of Cotton Counts, a National Cotton Council consumer awareness campaign aimed at improving the understanding of and attitudes toward the U.S. cotton industry and led by the National Cotton Women's Committee.
Funds earned by the sale of Bayer CropScience products including Baythroid insecticide, FiberMax cottonseed, Finish 6 Pro harvest aid, Temik insecticide, Trimax insecticide and others help support the campaign and make Cotton Town USA grants possible.

Electrical current is 230 volts, 50Hz. Round,
three-pin plugs are standard.
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
Waitering is a livelihood and a tip of 10% is expected for good
service, if a service charge is not included in the bill. Tipping
for services rendered is widely anticipated by porters, taxi
drivers and petrol attendants. Golf caddies should be tipped
accordingly. 'Car guards' operate in the city centres and tourist
spots and will offer to look after your parked car; they are
usually immigrants from neighbouring countries looking for work and
will expect anything from R2 upwards on your return.
Safety is an issue and visitors to South Africa should be aware
of the country's high incidence of crime. Although this tends to be
concentrated in pockets throughout the country, for example in the
township areas, opportunistic crime is fairly widespread.
Travellers should always be aware of these risks and exercise the
necessary precautions. Carjackings and smash-and-grab robberies are
common in major cities, and doors should be locked when driving and
bags and valuables should be kept out of sight, or locked in the
boot. One should not walk alone at night in any area. Berea and
Hillbrow in Johannesburg are high-risk areas and visitors should be
cautious in these areas. There have been recent incidents of
robbery involving hikers walking on Table Mountain and Lion's Head
in Cape Town, so visitors should avoid hiking alone. Be vigilant
when using ATMs and do not display signs of wealth (e.g. mobile
phones, money, expensive jewellery) on the streets. Credit card
fraud is on the increase and travellers should be vigilant and
never allow their card out of their sight. It is worthwhile noting
that the South African authorities do give high priority to the
protection of tourists. Power outages are common throughout the
country; frequent blackouts and rolling power cuts in January 2008
has forced the government to acknowledge that the country has an
electricity crisis on its hands.
South African culture and etiquette in urban areas is very
Western. While standards of dress vary, beachwear is not to be worn
off the beach, and nude sunbathing is only permissible in a very
few designated areas. While in African townships it is frowned on
for women to wear pants or shorts and homosexuality is frowned on,
whereas it is legal and acceptable in all other areas. Although
locals may complain loudly about the country and government, they
will take offense if a foreigner is critical. Racism is a sensitive
issue, however interracial relationships are widely accepted. South
African racial terminology differs from what is acceptable in North
America: the terms 'black' and 'white' are appropriate for those of
African and Caucasian descent, respectively. 'Coloured' refers not
to black Africans, but those of mixed African and European descent
and is not considered an offensive term. South Africans are
friendly and hospitable, and will often go out of their way to
assist tourists who need help.
The international access code for South Africa is +27. The
outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g.
0044 for the United Kingdom). As of 8 January 2007, South Africa
has changed to 10-digit dialling (so city codes must be included,
e.g. 021 for Cape Town) and international dialling has changed from
09 to 00. GSM mobile phone networks providing 900 and 1800
frequencies serve the country. Mobile service providers offer very
cheap 'pay-as-you-go' Sim cards, which are a good option for
visitors staying for some time. Internet cafes are widespread. Card
and coin operated pay phones are also widespread.
Travellers to South Africa do not have to pay duty on 400
cigarettes, 50 cigars and 250g of tobacco; 2 litres wine and 1
litre spirits; perfume up to 50ml and 250ml eau de toilette; and
other goods to the value of R3,000. All other goods brought in from
abroad by South African residents must be declared on arrival.
These will be subject to import duties. For goods to be
re-imported, travellers must complete a DA65 or NEP-form that is
issued on departure. Prohibited items include meat and dairy
products, all medication except for personal consumption, flick
knives, ammunition, explosives and pornography containing minors
and bestiality.

Talk:Virtualization for Unified CVP
From DocWiki
I'm looking for more information around the recommendation to use IIS for the CVP Media Server instead of Apache Tomcat when the compontents are collocated. This recommendation seems confusing because we typically use the Tomcat instance installed for VXML Server as the Media Server, since it's already there and allows the best integration into CVP Studio applications. Does it have something to do with the way that Tomcat uses the processors in a VM versus IIS?
To me it seems odd that the addition of another process/application (IIS) which is not installed by default with Windows or CVP would allow for better performance than the Tomcat instance that is actually running *for* CVP use...?
Response from Cisco's Jim Yang, Technical Leader, Engineering, on CVP Team: Cisco uses IIS as media servers in CVP solution qualification. IIS has better performance than Tomcat for serving static files.

Award-winning musician Pharrell Williams teamed-up with the UN Foundation on International Day of Happiness on 20 March to support the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). Fans were encouraged to submit videos to the tune of Pharrell's chart-topping, worldwide hit 'Happy' and encouraged to donate to CERF.
"Your donations will help the UN provide life-saving assistance to address some of the world's most urgent humanitarian crises," says Pharell in the 12-minute 'supercut' of the video.
24 hours of happiness
The day-long campaign – called '24 hours of happiness' – was overwhelmingly supported. More than 1,300 videos from 70 countries were submitted, and social media was flooded with other expressions of happiness.
Some of the videos came from places that have suffered recent crises, including a submission from communities hit by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. In the 48 hours after that storm, CERF had allocated US$25 million to fund rapid relief efforts.
"[The campaign] showed the power of what happens when people come together around something they believe in," said Aaron Sherinian, Vice President for Public Relations of the UN Foundation. "It raises awareness and funds, and has raised the level of volume of humanity in support of the UN."
Unprecedented social media buzz
Within the first 40 hours, the #HappyDay and related hashtags were used in over 70,000 tweets by more than 20,000 people, for a total of over 211 million impressions. More than 1.6 million photos have been tagged on Instagram with the hashtag #HappyDay.
International Day of Happiness was established by the UN general Assembly in June 2012. On 20 March 2014, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said "the pursuit of happiness lies at the core of human endeavours. People around the world aspire to lead happy and fulfilling lives free from fear and want."
CERF pools contributions into a single fund so that money is available to start relief work immediately in times of crisis. Since its inception in 2006, CERF has allocated more than $3.4 billion for humanitarian agencies doing life-saving work in 88 countries and territories.

The Grass-Mud Horse is a mythical creature whose name in Chinese sounds like F your mother. The horse runs on a magnificent Plain that also sounds like it was named after something nastily related to your mother. Saw the beast yesterday on the run up out of a grassy mud bog in Louisville during CX Masters Worlds, pretty sure I did. Definitely said curse words like that thrashing through the ever-slowing sludge, could put 'em together into a rap like this
Whatever it was, the grassy, muddy creature propelled me to the finish and qualifying for the final on Friday.

Also, thanks to Logan Owen for the ride – that's his C bike I destroyed out there. Chandler fixed it up though. Got it clean and ready for battle.

The defense allowed a season-low 160 yards of total offense as the Centre College football team posted a 17-0 shutout of Austin College Saturday, Oct. 27 in Sherman, Texas.
The Colonels, who posted their first shutout since a 45-0 win over Austin last year in Danville, earned its sixth straight win in the series to improve to 6-2 overall. The Kangaroos have now gone eight straight quarters without scoring a point against Centre and fall to 2-6 on the season.
After forcing Austin to punt on its first possession, the Centre offense took over on their own 13-yard line. Ten plays and 87 yards later, the Colonels hit pay dirt as senior running back Monte Scotton(Cleveland, Tenn.) crossed the goaline from two yards out for a 7-0 lead.
Centre added to the lead in the second quarter. Again, starting deep in their own territory, the Colonels drove from their own eight-yard line and needed only nine plays to go 92 yards. On second and 15 from the 16-yard line, sophomore quarterback Heath Haden (Kingsport, Tenn.) ran for 47 yards to the Austin 37. Haden then capped the drive with a 39-yard scoring strike to junior running back Harry Meisner (Wyoming, Ohio) for a 14-0 lead.
The defense allowed 68 yards on 16 plays in the opening quarter, but was even better in the second quarter. Austin ran a total of nine plays and gained only three yards with two of the three drives tallying negative yardage.
The score remained 14-0 at the break and did not change in the third quarter. The Kangaroos had their deepest drive of the game in the third period advancing to the Centre 19-yard line, but a run on fourth and eight went for negative yards and the Colonels took over.
The defense recovered a fumble at the beginning of the fourth quarter on Austin's 42-yard line. After driving to the Austin one-yard line, Centre was forced to settle for a 21-yard field goal by senior kicker Jordan Gay (Danville, Ky.) for the final points of the game.
Haden finished the day 18 of 32 for 237 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He also ran for 57 yards on 10 carries. Scotton ran for 89 yards on 21 carries and scored his seventh touchdown of the year, and senior receiver Jason Osterman (Monroe, Ohio) caught seven passes for 103 yards in his final trip to Sherman.
In addition to allowing a season-low in yardage, the defense tallied seven tackles for loss, including four sacks, and forced two turnovers.
Centre will return home for its regular season-finale and Senior day game against Birmingham Southern College Saturday, Nov. 3. Game time is set for 1:30 p.m. at Farris Stadium in Danville, Ky.

text: This is a softening of my previous review as my first one was rather more scathing than deserved. After some experimentation, This module is a good idea, but needs some work. The documentation is incomplete. If you want to use this module you have to read the test cases to figure out what to do---test cases are not good docs, IMO. The module provides a lot of functionality that is all contained within the two packages of this distribution. There's quite a bit there if all you need is inheritance. The logger is underutilized so it's hard to pick out bugs and I had to read the module source itself to get even a vague idea of the semantics (how are IDs set? are saves atomic across the inherited tables? what's fetched when a fetch is made on a parent? etc.) The idea itself is very cool and it does work. You'll just have to dig for awhile to understand it enough to use it.

Traffic has been spiking for our 2010 photo gallery on Frank Gehry's Schnabel House, the Brentwood landmark whose owner set out to "take this gorgeous piece of art that happens to be a home" and give the 1980s design some 21st century technology -- all with Gehry's blessing.
PHOTOS: Frank Gehry's Schnabel House
Blame the flu that has hampered L.A. at Home all month, because we missed the news the first time around: As reported by our colleague Lauren Beale on Jan. 7, the Schnabel House has sold for $9.5 million -- thus explaining the sudden interest in our gallery and the appearance of Times photographer Lawrence K. Ho's pictures on other blogs (uncredited, ahem).
You can read Lizzie Garrett Mettler's original story and photo gallery about the collaboration between Gehry and former owner Jon Platt, Tony Award-winning producer of "Angels in America" and "Wicked" on Broadway.

It has been fine and frosty to-day but thawed very little. Ray, Keith and Marian came this afternoon, also Colin on his cycle. He kept reminding the others that they were going to Chapel at night, so must not be late for tea. K and M came on an earlier train Friday night and came by bus' so Father and Gordon had journey for nothing, they waited until after 11. o'clock then came back and G. found them at home by the fire. Very annoying for Father, as he had such a cold. They came down to apologize, but of course they could not help it as they, K and M, did not know Father was meeting them. Rene was at home too, Ray looks very well, and Keith too but thinner, we told him it was the cares of married life. Father went on bx an hour or two while Hallg[arth] and Paul retrieved some wreckage. Father did not want any more pulling on the beach after yesterday.
Jean bought a pair of shoes from Doreen Johnson Sat. She had scarcely worn them. They will be nice for summer and save her others. 10/0 and no coupons. Brock brought first lot of milk to-day. We are getting N. Paper from man who brings Jessie's. Jean will bring it at night and fetch it Sat. Miss wireless tonight, shall be glad to get it home again but transformer, which has gone to be rewound, not back yet. Jean went to Chapel this morning and to S[unday] S[chool] this afternoon. Flora came to call for her. She brought her an apple and advised her to take it with her in case we ate it. Said her daddy slipped on the ice and sat down. She was sitting in the big chair when I came downstairs but got up at once and said "You have your chair." Colleen came later to call for Jean but they had gone. All returned together and C and F came to gate with Jean. So we had quite a lot of callers. Sewed red stripes on a young soldier's tunic yesterday, he came to beg a needleful of red cotton and owned he was no sewer so I told him to bring his tunic. He was very grateful as he wanted to go into Sk[egness] and it was his best. He is a little like Ron but fair.
It is so cold tonight the air was like a blue mist, am afraid it may turn to more snow. Sincerely hope not. Lot of heavy firing this afternoon very near together, also lot of planes all day. Eff came down this afternoon, took some porridge oats and a bot of D [Daddie's ?] Sauce. Had two letters from Ron yesterday, but he had sent one before them which we have not got so far. Evidently he was 8 hours late off his week-end leave, but has not got into trouble for it. Expect it was weather, but don't know as he evidently told us in Monday's letter which has not come, he only mentioned casually that he had not got into trouble about it. They are pretty well snowed up and unless there is an improvement he won't get home on Thur. Were rationed with bread, but as their mail is getting in and out expect provisions will too. He had got my letter and Jean's written on Tuesday.
Doreen Johnson was a daughter of Fred Johnson, at 'Fairfield Farm' on Sea Road (see Village Map). Her younger sister, Betty, was in the Girls' Life Brigade with Jean and they had a brother, Norman.

President Andrew Johnson appoints Lewis Parsons provisional governor. Parsons, the grandson of Great Awakening leader Jonathan Edwards, was born in New York and moved to Talladega in 1840. Although a Unionist, Parsons followed moderate policies as he reorganized Alabama's state government under Johnson's reconstruction plan. His term ended in December 1865.
Alabama native Joe Louis defeats James J. Braddock at Chicago's Comiskey Park to become the first black heavyweight boxing champion since Jack Johnson in 1908. Born near Lafayette as Joseph Louis Barrow, the "Brown Bomber" held the world heavyweight title until 1948.
Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Institute, becomes the first African American to be awarded an honorary degree by Harvard University. Born into slavery in Virginia, Washington moved to Alabama in 1881 to open Tuskegee Normal School. He soon gained fame as an educational leader among black Americans, a fact which Harvard recognized with a Master of Arts degree.
Macon County blacks kick off a boycott of white businesses at a mass meeting in Tuskegee attended by 3,000 people. The boycott was in response to a plan to protect white political power in Tuskegee by gerrymandering its city limits so that all but a few African Americans would reside outside the city. The boycott, which brought national attention to Tuskegee, was sustained for four years and met many of the goals of its originator, the Tuskegee Civic Association.

My Favorite Color Is Sunset
To this day, a pale golden sunset reminds me of my carefree days out on the lake and my old truck. It was a "beater." Beat up from pulling trailers, hauling hay and backing into loading docks. But for many in my senior class, that old, dented, cream-colored pickup was the coolest, and it transported us to some amazing times. Since those days, I've graduated to a nice new Silverado 4X4. It's got nav and Bluetooth and shifts to four wheels on the fly. I'm still enjoying those golden sunsets, and I miss that old truck, but I have to admit I don't miss having to carry jumper cables everywhere I go.

Did anyone read this and wonder why the Hawks didn't sign him?
He suffered a heart attack at USC, left the team, and played in CFL last year. He is medically cleared to play too.
Says a commenter, a Pats fan:
"ampats says:
Jan 24, 2013 6:02 PM
This is an outstanding acquisition. Adam Schefter wrote about him deciding on an NFL team a few weeks back and said he is comparible to a high round draft pick. He has been compared position wide to Richard Seymour and can play the 3 technique.
Great addition to the D line."

Not long after I first met Warren Buffett back in 1991, I asked him to recommend his favorite book about business. He didn't miss a beat: "It's 'Business Adventures,' by John Brooks, " he said. "I'll send you my copy." I was intrigued: I had never heard of "Business Adventures" or John Brooks.
Today, more than two decades after Warren lent it to me — and more than four decades after it was first published — "Business Adventures" remains the best business book I've ever read. John Brooks is still my favorite business writer. (And Warren, if you're reading this, I still have your copy.)
A skeptic might wonder how this out-of-print collection of New Yorker articles from the 1960s could have anything to say about business today. After all, in 1966, when Brooks profiled Xerox X, -2.37% the company's top-of-the-line copier weighed 650 pounds, cost $27,500, required a full-time operator and came with a fire extinguisher because of its tendency to overheat. A lot has changed since then.
It's certainly true that many of the particulars of business have changed. But the fundamentals have not. Brooks's deeper insights about business are just as relevant today as they were back then. In terms of its longevity, "Business Adventures" stands alongside Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor," the 1949 book that Warren says is the best book on investing that he has ever read.
An expanded version of this book review appears at WSJ.com.

The snowmobile accident that has left Winter X Games competitor Caleb Moore near death in a Colorado hospital renews questions about the lines of risk that sport should cross.
Moore, 25, remained in critical condition Tuesday in Grand Junction, Colo., after having failed to convert a flip off a 70-foot ramp with his 450-pound snowmobile in Aspen on Thursday.
After completing five tricks, including a midair full-body stretch from the handlebars and a flip around his seat, Moore flew over the handlebars headfirst into the snow after the front skis of his snowmobile dug into a landing ramp.
At impact, the vehicle rolled onto Moore and appeared to strike him near the head and chest.
Moore eventually walked off the course and was treated for a concussion, but his condition has deteriorated since with bleeding around the heart prompting surgery, and a brain injury emerged, said his family.

This fiery individual was a participant in the Battle of Hogwarts; he was most likely a Death Eater.
The man was born sometime in or before 1981, into either a pure or half-blood family, presumably in Great Britain.
He was trained in the magical arts sometime before 1998, given that he fought in a battle that year and had been employed by a Dark Wizard sometime before then.
This person, toward the end of the battle, was set ablaze and thrown across the length of the Great Hall; he likely died of his injuries.
Behind the scenes
- He could, really, be any of the unidentified Death Eaters, given that he was only seen for a few moments and was engulfed in flame for that time.
- Theoretically, he might not be a Death Eater at all, but simply dressed as one; given the torture he had to endure, it is likely the actions were done by a Death Eater, and hence it's likely he himself was not one.
- It is also possible that he is a Death Eater who fell victim to "friendly fire."

Product Description
Dismantled centuries ago, the sword of Goliath is still rumored to thirst for its enemies' blood. Cole "Tox" Russell only wants to begin his life with Haven Cortes, but he must first complete a final mission: retrieve that sword and destroy the deadly Arrow & Flame Order. The AFO, however, is determined to claim the sword. Wielding their father's life over Tzivia and Ram Khalon, they threaten to expose Ram's long-held and dangerous secret while demanding Tzivia locate the sword. With the Wraith team slowly being torn apart, things only worsen when Mercy Maddux, a new operative, emerges with the stunning news that the sword is tied to both Ram's secret and a string of unsolved serial murders. Tox, Ram, and the others are forced to set aside fear and anger to focus only on the enemy. No matter the cost, Wraith must stop or take the enemy down with them.

A genus of bacteria that are gram-positive cocci, often occurring in chains of varying length. Some pathogenic species produce exotoxins. In man, streptococcal species are responsible for numerous infections such as scarlet fever, tonsillitis, erysipelas (skin infection), endocarditis, rheumatic fever, glomerulonephritis, impetigo, pneumonia, meningitis, pharyngitis, lymphadenitis and wound infections. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the main culprit in lobar and bronchopneumonia.
Streptococci have anti-phagocytic components (hyaluronic acid rich capsule and M protein) and release various toxins streptolysins O and s, erythrogenic toxin) and enzymes streptokinase, streptodornase, hyaluronidase and proteinase. Haemolytic streptococci (viridans streptococci) produce limited haemolysis on blood agar, include Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus salivarius and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Beta haemolytic streptococci, of which Streptococcus pyogenes is the only species, though there are many serotypes, produce a broad zone of almost complete haemolysis on blood agar as a result of streptolysin O and S release. Alpha streptococci are nonhaemolytic (e.g. Streptococcus faecalis).

NEW ORLEANS — Top New Orleans chefs will be cooking up some of their finest fare in a salute to one of their own — the city's queen of Creole cuisine, Leah Chase.
Chefs John Besh, John Currence, Susan Spicer and John Folse will be cooking at a Jan. 5 gala celebrating Chase's 90th birthday and the launch of the Edgar "Dooky" Jr. and Leah Chase Family Foundation. The couple's granddaughter, Tracie Griffin, says the foundation's goal is to promote their work in the culinary arts, music and social reform.
Dooky Chase Restaurant, run by the couple since the mid-1950s, is a civil rights landmark. It's where plans to help The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. stage sit-ins and to shelter others trying to further racial equality were made over bowls of gumbo.
"Leah used food as a common thread to bring people together," said Besh, who plans to prepare a creamy crab and cauliflower bisque for the soup course of the gala dinner. "Food was her tool for peace. She's not just a chef. She's this beautiful figure of peace and hope that we can all draw inspiration from."
Chase, who turns 90 on Jan. 6, is a longtime member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and had one of the few relatively upscale restaurants for blacks before the civil rights movement.
For decades, black and white foodies alike flocked to the restaurant. It flooded, along with Chase's home, when levees failed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and reopened in early 2007 with the help of volunteers.
Folse was among those who helped raise money to get the restaurant running again.
"Leah had spent her whole life giving to others," he said. "She was always about doing what was right for people, and she did that by sharing her kitchen. I don't know of any other cook I respect more than Leah. There was nothing I wouldn't do for her."
In 2010, Chase became a member of the James Beard Foundation's Who's Who of Food & Beverage in America, which honors the country's most notable chefs.
The gala is attracting some of the biggest names in the industry. Besh owns eight restaurants in New Orleans; Spicer owns Bayona in the French Quarter and Mondo in the city's Lakeview neighborhood; and Currence is a New Orleans-born chef with restaurants in Oxford, Miss.
Folse, co-owner of Revolution, a French Quarter Cajun and Creole restaurant, said he'll be making chocolate doberge cake — a traditional New Orleans cake of thin, alternating layers.
"But I'll be making a bowl of chocolate soup just for Leah," he said. "It's her favorite."
Celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse, who owns three New Orleans restaurants and others elsewhere, will not be preparing food but will contribute to a silent auction, according to event organizers.
Marcus Samuellson, the chef at Harlem's Red Rooster, will contribute a dish for the gala but will not be able to attend. A team will be preparing the food in his absence.
Tickets for the gala and four-course dinner start at $250. Participating chefs will introduce the dishes as they are served as part of the program.
On the eve of the gala, a special lunch with Dooky and Leah Chase will be held at the restaurant. Griffin said all funds raised from the two days of events will benefit the foundation.

Public School Management Provisions
The list of PERA's prohibited subjects of public school collective bargaining is found in MCL § 423.215(3)(a)-(p). These limitations on the scope of bargaining were meant to ensure that negotiations did not stray into core school management areas and broader policy issues. Examples of prohibited subjects of bargaining include:
- Decisions regarding "who is or will be the policyholder of an employee group insurance benefit" (meant to address the issue of the costs associated with the Michigan Education Special Services Association, as described earlier)[62]
- "Establishment of the starting day for the school year and the amount of pupil contact time required to receive full state school aid"[63]
- Whether "to provide or allow interdistrict or intradistrict open enrollment opportunity in a school district"[64]
- Whether "to contract with a third party for [one] or more noninstructional support services"[65]
- "The use of volunteers in providing services at its schools"[66]
- The "use and staffing of experimental or pilot programs and decisions concerning use of technology to deliver educational programs and services"[67]
- Decisions "regarding teacher placement" (i.e., teaching assignments)[68]
- "[P]olicies regarding personnel decisions when conducting a staffing or program reduction" (meant to end the "last-in-first-out" policies discussed above)[69]
- "[D]ecisions about how an employee performance evaluation is used to determine performance-based compensation" (meant to permit merit pay)[70]
- Decisions about "the notification to parents and legal guardians" when a student is placed with an ineffective teacher.[71]
There is clear evidence that the items above are plausible targets of nullification under Proposal 2. Earlier this year, the Michigan Education Association distributed to its collective bargaining negotiators a three-page list of laws vulnerable under Proposal 2, so that the negotiators could target these laws during contract negotiations after November. The MEA's list includes some of the PERA provisions set out above (see Appendix B for a copy of the memo). That list also includes several of the laws discussed below.
Others have concluded a broad range of laws would be open to challenge under Proposal 2. In a July 20, 2012, memo to Gov. Rick Snyder, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette wrote that Proposal 2 "represents breathtaking changes to governmental branches' and units' prerogative to perform their constitutional function, establish their goals and objectives, determine budgets, compensation, retirement, medical or other benefits, and control terms and conditions of public employment."[72] The attorney general estimated that Proposal 2 could abrogate in whole or in part more than 170 existing Michigan laws."[73]
Regardless of what the exact number of vulnerable laws is, the laws below are clearly among those susceptible to challenge.
