Russia may sell a controlling stake in telecommunications operator OAO Rostelecom for at least $5 billion as early as this year, said First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov.
"I think it would be right for the government to sell its entire stake this year, to sell it as a whole," Shuvalov, who oversees Russia's privatization program, said in an interview in Moscow this week. "The company has a lot of accumulated problems, but we think a controlling stake could be sold for a minimum of $5 billion."
A decision will be made "by or during autumn," he said.
The government plans to raise 427 billion rubles ($13.6 billion) through state asset sales this year to reduce its role in the economy. Most of the proceeds will go to the companies for investment. Stakes in diamond miner OAO Alrosa, airline OAO Aeroflot and VTB Group, Russia's second-biggest bank, may be among the year's biggest sales.
Rostelecom's addition to the 2013 privatization plan was proposed by the Federal Property Management Agency earlier this month, as state-run VTB acquired Russian wireless assets from Tele2 AB. (TEL2B)
VTB may resell Tele2 Russia to Rostelecom in six to eight months once the state-run operator completes a merger with its parent, OAO Svyazinvest, according to a note from Renaissance Capital, a Moscow-based investment bank, at the time of the deal. Their networks combined would form Russia's fourth-biggest nationwide mobile operator.
The antitrust watchdog would welcome Rostelecom's acquisition of Tele2 Russia to create a new national mobile operator, Interfax reported yesterday, citing Igor Artemyev, the head of the Federal Anti-Monopoly Service. The government holds about 55 percent of Rostelecom and will hold about the same amount after the Svyazinvest merger.
Rostelecom gained 0.7 percent to 112.19 rubles as of 3:39 p.m. in Moscow, giving it a market value of $10.5 billion.

I think that the T-Birds have always been categorized as classic cars with classic OEM Ford wheels; & in this case, Classic Factory Ford Thunderbird wheels.
It has more than eleven model generations ranging from 1955 through 2005 – that's a lot of cars. When it came out and when it was finally available to customers, it created the market niche eventually known as the "personal luxury car."
The convertible models of the Thunderbird were available from the second to the fourth generation models. They were designed and looked a lot like the Lincoln convertible that came out at the same time. The convertible models now still have that classic look but with the fancy Original Ford wheels – like the 2005 Ford Thunderbird wheels.
Some classic, huh?

Anderson Silva: Were His Ribs a Factor at UFC 117?July 1, 2012
Chael Sonnen was too slow, too undeveloped as a striker and too one-dimensional to legitimately challenge Anderson Silva at UFC 117 in 2010. Silva's striking was devastatingly dynamic and would not allow the challenger to get into range to utilize his world-class wrestling.
Or so I thought.
In fact, Sonnen was the more effective striker and the champion had no answer for the former NCAA Division I wrestler.
Anderson Silva is the greatest fighter of all time. He is also one of the most dominant athletes of all time. There must be an explanation as to why Sonnen outclassed him. Rib injuries are terribly debilitating and hinder many angles of body movements. With a deeply bruised or fractured rib, any single movement can produce a sharp, stabbing pain that can cause shortness of breath and intense discomfort.
This would definitely explain why the underdog was so successful for over 22 minutes.
In order to understand how differently the champion fought that night compared to his usual self, I analyzed the fight thoroughly on a round-by-round basis. Specifically, looking for instances of where Anderson was holding back or obviously unable to perform certain movements.
My goal is to understand how different the champ was that night as a result of his rib injury. What can UFC 148 Anderson Silva do that UFC 117 Silva could not?
Can the brash challenger's success at UFC be explained by the rib injury?
Round One
Pre-fight, the Spider inhales deeply and stretches with no visible repercussions from any strain on his ribs. As the show starts, he moves very well—and as per usual—is throwing punches and blocking kicks. He sprawls cleanly on the first shot attempt. He throws punches and a perfect low leg kick.
At 4:13, the champ gets caught with a straight left. He recovers and even attempts a throw and secures a takedown. Later, he is taken down and plays bottom very well. He recovers guard and is often actively using his legs in open guard to attempt to keep Sonnen at a distance.
There was nothing evident from this first stanza to demonstrate that any area of his arsenal was unable to be utilized.
Round Two
The 29-4 (at the time) legend starts the round well by moving dexterously, throwing a hard low leg kick and gets caught trying what might have been an aborted flying knee. After being taken down, he has wrist and head control and even tries a few heel strikes to Sonnen's sides from closed guard.
Silva ttempted a few arm bars and had his feet on Sonnen's hips while rotating well. He transitions nicely from kimura to heel hook attempts all with excellent swift hips. While he could have been more actively trying to escape that could be explained by his fighting style.
In past fights, Silva has played bottom in the same fashion. Sonnen's top dominance or limited lateral strength due to his rib injury could also have explained why he was never able to escape from bottom.
Round Three
Silva lights up Sonnen with an electric spinning back kick. It is executed perfectly and forcefully. There is no hesitance or lack of confidence in the striker. The fight quickly ends up on the ground with the American Gangster on top.
Silva takes heavy direct shots to his left ribs with no terrible reaction nor even a defensive game plan to protect his ribs. From the bottom, he applies a body triangle and is content to lay there with occasional movement and attacks with good hip movement.
Round Four
The man who now has a 15-fight win streak starts the fourth strong. The sensational striker is throwing perfect punches and kicks with heavy power. His attack is fast and furious. He utilizes kicks and various punches.
He looks very similar to himself in the Forrest Griffin fight, minus the head movement. He sprawls exceptionally well and stuffs Sonnen's takedown and gets on top. After being swept soon after, he spends the rest of the round on the bottom.
Silva tries a body triangle and attempts to play some butterfly guard briefly. He throws numerous elbows but mostly is content to sit in open guard.
Round Five
Anderson comes out and shows good footwork and head movement and avoids a takedown. He then falls over after throwing an unbalanced shot. While this may be the first obvious example that there may be something physically different from Silva tonight—because he has sublime balance and never just falls—this also could have been from fatigue as he was smothered and beaten for four rounds.
Sonnen again dominates from top position. Silva uses good hip movements and regains his guard when Sonnen obtains side control. With 2:04 remaining in the final round, Silva controlled the Oregon star's right hand and catches the challenger in the triangle that will haunt the American to his dying day.
This climatic submission requires explosive core power and hip thrust to close it out.
At the end of the fight, the Brazilian begins wincing and looking as if he was in great discomfort. He tells Joe Rogan: "desculpe nenhuma" (no excuses) and credits Sonnen for being a great fighter. He then follows that up with another statement. It is again prefaced with a declaration of no excuses...but...last week he hurt his rib.
It is difficult to find overt examples of how Andreson's rib was a detriment to his performance.
Travis Lutter and Dan Henderson, who have similar fight styles and backgrounds to Sonnen, each had their moments of success with the Brazilian as well. There were no rib injuries on those occasions. Lutter won the first round by eating shots to get in shot-range and scoring takedowns. He worked from closed-guard top position very similarly to Sonnen. Travis even mounted and was landing punches and then transitioned to an armbar that he could not procure. He was subsequently submitted in the next round.
Dan also won the first round by closing the distance with strikes and taking the champ down via body lock and scoring with strikes from half-guard, but he too was submitted in the second.
The way Anderson played bottom closed-guard in these fights did not differ much from the way he fought against Sonnen.
It is possible that he is capable of controlling his countenance and does not reveal the pain that he feels. This is essential for all great fighters. His ability to kick, punch, sprawl and hit submissions despite a fractured rib could be a testament to his ability to rise above pain and deliver.
These theories are more than plausible for one crowned the greatest fighter of all time. Only Anderson Silva really knows how badly his rib was injured but his actual fighting did not vary greatly as a result. He still was able to execute, more or less, his typical fight plan, but Sonnen executed his plan better.
The challenger's ability to find his striking range and land significant punches allowed him to hit his shots and obtain that dominant top position. Shooting from distance rarely works with Silva as he is too athletic. Demian Maia and Thales Leites can testify to that. Sonnen would land with serious punches, close the distance and then get in deep on his shots and secure the takedown.
The times when he shot without setting it up with a punch were easily stuffed. I suspect his ability to find his striking range gain will reveal if he has a chance to repeat his incredible, but losing, performance.
What will happen when one of the most anticipated rematches in MMA history unfolds July 7, 2012?
Odds are that the anomaly that perplexed the world two years ago will not be repeated. In addition to being undefeated in the UFC, the champ has been working on his wrestling with Mark Munoz. Munoz is a high level MMA fighter and holds a wrestling win over Sonnen from their college days.This may play an important factor in keeping the fight on its feet.
However, one should not surmise that there existed a dramatic difference between the performance of Silva in the first encounter and his other fights. We will all need to watch to see if Sonnen is the matchup nightmare for Silva or if the incredible footwork and fighting style of Silva will crush the spirit of the plodding wrestler.

Right out of the box, this sampler will knock your socks off. You get 9 sample CDs (vol 1 to 9 of the EIIIx library) and a bunch of sampled sounds already preloaded on the hard disk. From a very nice piano (one high and low velocity sample for every 3 keys on the keyboard) to outrageous sweeping pads, deep basses, and sounds that play differently (in a subtle way) every time you hit the same note, this box will get your creative juices flowing right away. There is a bit reducer, automatic looping tool (BeatMunger), Aphex Aural exciter, and a slew of fx... and tons more.
I got the Orbit/Phatt card with mine and the sounds are just phenomenal. You can save $1000 by buying this $200 card instead of getting the separate modules. There are more cards to come. I also ordered an ESynth card but have not received it from Sweetwater yet.
The EOS is so easy to use you hardly need the manual. Much easier to figure out than my Akai S2800 (or Mirage).
I like the convenience of buying an all-in-one sampler like this. For three grand, it is worth every penny.

DEP Sponsors
Earth Day Challenge in State Parks and Forests
(05/46) TRENTON -- The New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) is sponsoring the Earth Day Challenge this Saturday,
April 23, calling for volunteers and organizations to take part
in environmental enhancement projects in New Jersey's state parks
and forests.
"This week marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day which
is celebrated nationally," said Commissioner Campbell. "You
can get involved locally. Whether you clear a trail, plant a tree,
or clean up a beach, your involvement on Saturday can make a difference
in protecting New Jersey's precious natural resources."
New Jersey's legacy in identifying environmental problems and
developing creative solutions is well documented. The DEP began
managing natural resources and addressing pollution and contamination
issues throughout the state since its inception. The annual celebration
of Earth Day began 35 years ago on April 22, 1970, when nearly
20 million people nationwide participated in Earth Day festivities.
Earth Day marks the largest grassroots environmental movement
in U.S. history. Citizen involvement on Earth Day has been the
impetus for social change ranging from key federal environmental
legislation to recycling in homes.
Participants in the DEP Earth Day Challenge are encouraged to
wear appropriate clothing for working outdoors. Volunteers should
pre-register by calling the local park office.
The Earth Day Challenge is a good opportunity to earn service
hours for organizations and scouting groups.
The rain date is Sunday, April 24.

AURORA, Colo.—Across the street from the shuttered Century 16 movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora is an empty patch of brown grass. Until recently, the space was filled with stuffed animals, flowers, balloons, candles and even replicas of gravestones on which people could write messages. They were placed there by local residents in an outpouring of support after the shocking July 20 movie theater shooting that left 12 dead and 58 injured.
Two weeks ago, the Aurora government cleaned up the memorial and parceled out the offerings to family members of the victims. The movie theater will reopen, after a remodeling, next year.
Now, administrators of the nearly $5 million Aurora Victim Relief Fund, created from donations, hope to conclude another chapter of the tragedy by doling out the fund's remaining money in a process being overseen by Ken Feinberg, who has administered funds containing billions of dollars for victims of 9/11 and the BP oil spill.
And they hope that this time around, the Aurora victims fund's disbursement process, which has so far been contentious, will proceed without controversy.
"I'm looking forward, not looking backwards," Feinberg told Yahoo News. "What is done was done."
The controversy surrounding the fund began just a week after the shooting when a local charity, Community First—the official money raiser for Aurora victims—doled out $100,000 to a network of local nonprofits. A few weeks later, after families of victims pressured the group to provide direct support to them, Community First gave $5,000 each to the families of injured and killed moviegoers via another nonprofit in its network.
Bereaved relatives, struggling to cover funeral costs or hospital bills, were frustrated by the decisions. And on Aug. 28, families of 11 of the 12 people murdered in the theater held a tearful press conference to criticize the organization for its delay in disbursing the raised funds to victims and their families, as well as its lack of a public plan for when or if it planned to do so.
The families' spokesman, Tom Teves, whose 24-year-old son died while protecting his girlfriend from gunfire, said the way they'd been treated by Community First amounted to a "second tragedy."
Teves also said many felt Community First's solicitations were misleading because donors might have assumed all of their money was going directly to those affected, not to nonprofits that help victims.
Catlin Jenney, a spokeswoman for Community First, said in a statement that it funneled money through nonprofits because it doesn't have expertise "in victim assistance, medical treatment, mental health and other needs that have resulted from this tragedy." The organization's press releases have stated that the money goes to these nonprofits, and it has noted that it hasn't awarded itself any administrative fees for raising the funds.
A second press conference was held by the families on Sept. 14, calling on Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, who sits on the newly formed 7/20 Recovery Committee that oversees the fund, to nominate an independent arbitrator to take over the fund. Teves said that despite their pleas, families had still only received the initial $5,000 payment, and some were in dire need of financial help.
On Sept. 21, Feinberg was tapped.
Feinberg, who accepted the position pro bono, wouldn't comment on whether he thought it was appropriate that the fund initially gave its money to nonprofits, or that it waited weeks to send money to families and those injured. But he said that this time around, all of the money will be parceled out and sent directly to victims, and that he's learned the best way to avoid conflict with victims funds is to "get money out as soon as possible with few restrictions."
Even so, Feinberg says it's common for these funds to be surrounded by bad feeling and controversy, no matter how well-managed. "Human nature being what it is, it's a very raw emotional circumstance that gives rise to these programs," Feinberg said. "It's to be expected. I'm hoping that I'll be able to help the families with some of the financial uncertainties at least, but money is a pretty poor substitute for loss and pain and physical injury."
He will meet with families next week to hear their thoughts on the claims process, which he hopes to open on Oct. 15, with applications due Nov. 1. Hickenlooper's office will ultimately evaluate the claims and allocate the money by mid-November. A third party will later audit the claims and how the fund was handled.
Teves told Yahoo News that "if Feinberg continues being an independent person [per his reputation], it would be a positive." But he said he's still angry it took so much prodding for the funds to be used to directly compensate victims.
"It's a little sad that I have to spend so much time asking people to do what they need to do," Teves said.
It's still unclear how funds will be awarded. Feinberg said the fund's relatively small size means it's unlikely awards will be made to people reporting mental and not physical injury.
The $7 billion taxpayer-supported 9/11 fund awarded about $2 million each to the families of the dead and about $400,000 for the injured, according to The Associated Press. Feinberg has written that he prefers to award equal amounts for each killed victim of a tragedy, but that in the 9/11 fund, he was obliged to follow tort law and set a specific dollar value for each life lost, which included taking into account a victim's salary.
The way Feinberg handled the Virginia Tech shooting might be the best parallel to the Aurora case, since at $6.5 million, the fund was a similar size. Feinberg distributed money to 32 Virginia Tech families using a formula that weighted the length of hospital stay for injured victims and gave equal payouts to families of those who were killed.
Feinberg, meanwhile, worries about a more abstract problem, one that he explores in his recent book, "Who Gets What: Fair Compensation After Tragedy and Financial Upheaval."
"Why do we have these special funds for certain tragedies but not for other tragedies?" Feinberg asked. The victims of Hurricane Katrina and the recent tornado in Joplin, Mo., for example, did not attract special government-assisted victims funds, leaving those victims without the direct financial assistance that Aurora's injured will receive.
"That's the real dilemma," he said. "It raises questions of equal protection and fairness for all."

So the question here; What if we don't kill Garrosh, and he'll remain Warchief?
Well the only sad thing is that we do not know Garrosh condition at the patch he is going to die.. Not really sure if he is corrupted, under some influence or just a moron essentially.. But if we dont do anything about it, I think the horde will scatter slowly.. The Troll rebellion will get away by boat, and the Undead and Blood elves will get together to survice or the elves join the Alliance.. Tauren is pretty much going to keep for themselves, but ey, thats what I think will happen.
Taking by the fact that Garrosh proberly will try and claim everything, even his own allies.
Seriously, you're arguing that going backwards in time means you're in the present. I don't have that paradox.

Also, for less misunderstanding: I don't think that doing timelines even more messed up due to changing warchief is good in any terms. But it happened to WoW earlier, and it was very rough. So expecting Blizz not doing so and, even more, building up some theories like "Garrosh will not be killed because it's bad for timelines" is not a good idea.

LF something funny to place here.
English isn't my native, sorry for possible mistakes
Leveling content, when it is no longer the primary expansion, is simply catch-up work.
As far as the overarching lore is concerned, if your character is not at endgame with the most recent parts of the most recent story arc, you are experiencing the past, but not being truly part of the past.
Last edited by The Madgod; 2013-04-04 at 01:39 PM.
The thing with Garrosh is not even a timeline problem. The problem is having a warchief standing in Orgrimmar that has nothing to do with the story in the zones, and having a story in the zones that talks about a warchief that isn't there anymore.

Wilhemenia, I don't think she's a bad person but conniving, sneaky, ambitious, sexy. She has a soft spot with Mark, she tries to appear ruthless, mean and gruff but she can be kind.
i think she cares more about daniel than she lets know.
Do you mean that she has romantic feelings for him, 'cause I've never gotten that impression. I think she has a deep affection for him as a friend, but that's all I've ever seen.Originally Posted by jacobson00;3749876;

I'd love it if he came back. They didn't really explore Cliff & Marc's relationship enough before cutting it off.EXCLUSIVE: Blue 'in talks for Ugly Betty return'
Friday, November 27 2009, 6:19am EST
By Dan French, TV Editor
David Blue has revealed that he has spoken to producers about returning to Ugly Betty, after bowing out of the ABC comedy series last year.
The actor, currently starring in Syfy's Stargate Universe, played Cliff, who was a love interest to Wilhelmina Slater's faithful assistant Marc.
Speaking to Digital Spy, Blue admitted that he would love to reprise the role, and has had talks with the Betty team about a possible return.
"I've always felt from the beginning that I would love any opportunity to go back," he said. "I think Cliff is a really important character and he's great fun to play. I love working with that cast too.
"Cliff and Mark's relationship is a story that deserves to be told. There have been talks here and there about coming back, but it's never quite worked out."
He added: "I hope that at some point during my hiatus that we can work something out because I'd play for as long as they'd let me!"
"Whatever you are, be a good one." Abraham Lincoln
What is an "MFWalkoff?"
Me too. I loved Cliff, and he was going a long way to making Mark the kind of person I know that he is under the Willie-minion veneer.Originally Posted by MFWalkoff;3758255;
And so it begins, the end of times..
I would also love to see Cliff back!
I am soooo glad that the Cult of the Phoenix storyline has come to a close!!!!
Ugh, me too. Though I have to admit, the spark isn't there for me with Ugly Betty this year.

Model-turned-actress Charlize Theron survived a family tragedy - and life as a fashion tragic - to become a Hollywood name, writes Sacha Molitorisz.
The career of the stereotypical supermodel runs thus: first, she turns heads in a soft-drink commercial; next, she pops eyeballs in a swimsuit calendar; finally, after a short-lived and much-maligned attempt to reinvent herself as an actress, she releases a line of lingerie and gets hitched to a racing-car driver.
Charlize Theron is different. Her life story reads like something scripted by David Lynch.
Born in South Africa in 1975, Theron grew up on a quiet farm and rode a donkey to school. After studiously pursuing her ambition to be a ballet dancer, her life was up-ended when her mother shot dead her father, an abusive alcoholic. Theron was just 16, and her mother was never charged, the killing determined to be an act of self-defence.
Shortly afterwards, Theron flew to Milan after winning a modelling competition, where one assignment led to another - which made her unhappy. "I only ever modelled as a means to an end," she has said. "I hated every minute of it. Coming from dance, where the discipline was about needing to dance eight hours a day, suddenly I was thrown into this career where the discipline was about what I ate."
Theron kept dancing in New York until her ballet days were ended by a knee injury. She relocated to Los Angeles to pursue acting, but, as just another pretty face with no experience, Theron had little initial success. Luckily, an actors' agent eventually slipped her his card after watching her throw a tantrum in a bank.
That was in the mid-'90s, and, with a newly appointed agent, the roles started to trickle in. And here's the best part: contrary to expectation, Theron's acting career has been neither short-lived nor much maligned. On the model-to-actress scale she seems to rate somewhere between Cindy Crawford (average) and Marilyn Monroe (often excellent).
"Most of the time acting is a struggle," says Theron. "But it's a very satisfying struggle. I like it when things aren't easy."
Theron's latest film is Trapped, a thriller in which she plays the perfect wife of a perfect husband living a perfect life until a gang of thugs kidnaps their young daughter. Turns out the nasties have done this sort of thing before, always giving their victims precisely 24 hours to cough up a suitcase full of cash.
The film is average, but Theron's performance is very good, as is Kevin Bacon's. He plays the lead kidnapper, and Theron says it was impressive watching the veteran of Footloose, Apollo 13 and Hollow Man effortlessly switch into his evil persona.
"Kevin is, like, the nicest guy you'll ever meet," says Theron. "And I tend to work the same way as him. We'd laugh our arses off between takes, then when the camera was rolling he'd just turn it on and I'd react.
"Everyone has their own method, so you have to be respectful of that, but it is great to work with someone who works the same way as you. And I feel there's this huge misconception I had when I was younger, that you feel you'll be a better actor if you torture yourself. That's very self-destructive. I love myself too much to do that."
Theron's acting career began in earnest in 1996 with That Thing You Do!, Tom Hanks's directing debut in which Theron played second groupie to Liv Tyler. Then came The Devil's Advocate (1997) with Keanu Reeves and Al Pacino, and roles in Celebrity (1998), Mighty Joe Young (1998) and The Astronaut's Wife (1999) with Johnny Depp. Ever since, Theron has continued to land big roles opposite big stars, including Michael Caine, Robert De Niro and Will Smith.
"I've been very, very, very lucky with the people I've worked with," says Theron. "They range from people I grew up watching, like Tom Hanks, to others who were more my peer group. A lot of them were amazing, so all you need to do is be a sponge."
Theron says Trapped was an enjoyable shoot - "everyone got along great" - but there were reports that Theron and co-star Courtney Love developed a mutual hatred.
"I don't know what the hell happened," Bacon said, "but there was a problem."
Theron certainly got on well with Stuart Townsend, who played her on-screen husband. They are now engaged.
Now Townsend looks likely to spend a good chunk of his future in South Africa.
"I try and go back once a year," says Theron. "Not for family, but just because I love the country. My mum lives there, and it's where I'm from. I grew up as an only child on a farm and it was amazing. I realise now how lucky I was."

Four ways to boost your body image and lose weight
Could you have greater weight loss success if you felt better in your own skin today? Absolutely. In my private practice I find that clients with poor body image tend to struggle more with emotional and binge eating, and when a client's self-esteem is closely tied to her weight or size, she generally feels less confident about her ability to lose weight healthfully. Transforming your relationship with your body doesn't happen overnight, but in my experience actively working to improve your body image can play a major role in your ability to lose weight and keep it off.
In a new study published in the International Journal of Obesity researchers discovered that the less satisfied a young girl is with her body, the more likely she is to gain weight and develop a pattern of binge eating. Scientists tracked over 1,500 overweight and obese girls for more than 10 years. At the start, 57 percent reported being somewhat satisfied with their bodies. Over time that number fell to 47 percent and after a decade the percentage of girls who engaged in weekly binge eating rose from less than 2 percent to nearly 10 percent.
In another recent University of Arizona study, scientists found that body dissatisfaction was tied to a greater risk of disordered eating, but several factors were shown to boost positive body image. Among over 300 college women from two US universities, those with strong family support who felt less pressure from family, friends, and the media to be 'thin and beautiful' had healthier body images. These women were also found to have strong stress management skills and didn't feel they needed to be 'superwomen.'
You may not be able to change the attitudes of your friends, family, or the media but there are concrete strategies that can help you improve the way you perceive your body:
Analyze your self-talk
Do you talk to yourself like you would talk to your best friend? Facing your internal dialogue is important because even unspoken thoughts deeply affect how you feel. Negative self-talk leads to negative emotions, which can trigger you to cope in an unhealthy way like starving yourself, over exercising, or binge eating. Start talking to yourself (even in your head) in ways that are caring, self-nurturing, and reflect how you'd talk to the people you love most.
Focus on how your body feels rather than your weight or size
This doesn't have to mean giving up on your weight loss goals but prioritizing taking care of yourself from the inside out. That means eating healthfully, moving, and getting enough sleep because these habits make you feel great physically and emotionally. Weight loss approaches that don't make you feel good will always fizzle while the opposite is also true. Focusing on feeling good can help you stay on track consistently, not out of "willpower" but because it feels good to feel good!
Acknowledge what you're grateful for
Make a list of at least five things you're grateful your body can do that have nothing to do with looks. The other day I was grateful that my body is strong enough to carry groceries 15 blocks from Whole Foods to my apartment. I'm also grateful that my body allows me to laugh, dance, hug the people I love, and cuddle my pets. Once you get going you may be surprised just how many things you come up with! Stash your list somewhere handy. When you experience a negative thought, maybe about what you don't like about your body, re-read your list. It can really help bring some perspective.
Find an activity you love regardless of how many calories it burns
To me hiking feels like an adventure and I look forward to it for reasons that have nothing to with fitness. Maybe you feel this way about swimming, yoga, or Zumba. When you're engaged in a physical activity you enjoy, not because it's going to shrink your fat cells or sculpt your muscles, but because it feels like pure pleasure, it can significantly boost your self-image.
Negative body image is an issue we all struggle with sometimes, including me. But when I start focusing on my flaws I have to remind myself that the people I find most attractive are those who radiate confidence, warmth, health, and kindness, not the ones who look perfect.

Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and now you can add asteroids.
This one was nearly 8 tons, the biggest meteor (and, yes, scientists tell us you can use meteor and asteroid interchangeably) since 1908 when a meteor flattened a large part of Siberia.
Turns out there's a ton of space junk that crashes into the Earth every day - 100 tons to be exact. Most of the time it causes no harm and it certainly isn't videotaped by Russians driving on the highway and by surveillance camera, and then sent viral via the Internet.
This isn't something that we can easily wrap our heads around, the randomness of getting hurt by a meteor. Tonight at 11, we'll have the latest on the asteroid damage, and how scientists here are analyzing it. Our Jeff Pegues, something of a rocket scientist anyway, is on the story.
Also at 11, is the school bus drivers' strike about to come to an end? It likely is after the Democratic candidates for New York Mayor offered their support for the union, plus a request to suspend the strike on behalf of the kids affected. Carolina Leid will have the latest.
And investigative reporter Jim Hoffer tonight has a warning for anyone about to start home improvement jobs. Make sure your contractor is licensed. Jim tonight has the story of several local homeowners who hired a man who wasn't licensed, and he took them to the cleaners - they're out tens of thousands of dollars.
We'll also have any breaking news of the night, plus Meteorologist Lee Goldberg's weekend AccuWeather forecast - yes, we're getting some snow and a lot of cold - and Rob Powers in Florida for baseball spring training and the night's sports. I hope you can join Sade Baderinwa and me, tonight at 11, right after 20/20.

You've probably heard by now that the merged United-Continental will begin flying from San Francisco and Los Angeles to Hilo in June, resuming nonstop access to the Big Island's biggest city that had disappeared when Aloha Airlines did. But you may not have heard these details — or of a new iPhone app to use wherever you go in Hawai'i.
Sadly, SFO will only have once-a-week, Saturday service to ITO (Hilo, in case you didn't know), while LAX will enjoy daily flights, beginning June 9. The San Francisco route departs at 4:20 p.m. and arrives on Moku o Keawe at 6:40 p.m.; it leaves Hilo at 9:20 p.m. and lands the following day at 5:20 a.m. The Los Angeles itinerary departs at 5 p.m. and lands in Hilo at 7:40 p.m.; return flights leave at 8:55 p.m. and arrive at 5:15 a.m. the next day. All flights will use 160-seat Boeing 737-800 aircraft, currently under the Continental side of operations.
Jeanne Cooper / Special to SFGate
There's a price to pay for that convenience, of course: The fare on the inaugural SFO-ITO flight (with a return on June 18) is $701.71, with taxes and fees included; baggage fees (if any) and meals are not included. But avoiding a red-eye on Hawaiian Airlines, which makes a stop in Honolulu on each leg, will cost you even more: $957.01, to be precise, for travel on the same days. Still, I started humming "Hilo E" as soon as I heard the news, and will share ideas for an ideal Hilo itinerary (volcano anyone?) in my Aloha Friday column later this week.
Another source of travel tips for Hilo, and other destinations on the four major islands, comes from Hertz NeverLost, which has just released its first mobile travel application, My Explore Hawaii ($4.99 in the iTunes store.) Featuring content for the four major islands, the iPhone app has images and audio for beaches, attractions and activities; calendar listings for a 30- day period; weather updates and three-day forecasts; route info by car, public transportation or on foot; and something called "Augmented Reality" (trippy!), which has audio "to enhance your visual experience and that simulates a personal tour guide."
I don't know if that tour guide will sound like the regular, somewhat tetchy NeverLost lady, but I'll be downloading the app for my upcoming visit to Kaua'i and will post a review then. The new app also allows you to "share your experiences" on Twitter, Facebook and Flickr, albeit on the My Explore's Facebook Wall and Twitter account. (It's probably best that way, if you don't want a bunch of envious comments and snarky retweets from friends and family. But I know, when you're having a good time in Hawai'i, it can be hard to keep it to yourself.)

PSA Airlines implements ETHOS Systems Knowledge Suite to gain a Flexible and Robust Solution
With an outdated training computer lab, PSA was looking for a major makeover when it came to their new training solution. The Aerosim ETHOS Systems Knowledge Suite for the CRJ 700/900 was the solution they had been seeking and more.
Prior to the Aerosim ETHOS Systems Knowledge Suite, PSA employed a desktop computer based training program that was 15 years old. PSA Pilots were required to spend at least 20 hours on-site at the training facility's computer lab to complete the training. This training had known errors and was extremely difficult and time consuming to update, and work around.
PSA was also looking to deploy iPads into its training footprint and needed a solution that would be compatible with that platform. They understood the value of the pilots being able access the content outside of the classroom in a learning environment most conducive for them. As well as the importance of providing the opportunity for the pilots to go through the training at their own pace and review the content as necessary.
With the tremendous growth that PSA had undergone, it has also increased the amount of training conducted. PSA needed to incorporate a scalable solution that would not only improve the quality of training, but make it more efficient.
The Solution
With the incorporation of ETHOS, PSA was able to overcome their challenges and meet its desired needs. PSA chose some additional options that included the fully free-play Flight Management Systems Trainer (FMST) and a customized ACARS Trainer.
"This product was a multifaceted solution for PSA because of the suite of applications. The Systems Training, FMS and ACARS Trainer and the Cockpit Familiarization tool all have significant positive impacts on how our pilots study and train. The FMS free-play program gives pilots the opportunity to practice FMS programming, allowing them the extra practice needed to become proficient with this critical skill."
– Lucas Bowden, PSA Ground Training Supervisor
Since the legacy training product was so difficult to update, it was important that a new solution could overcome this with simple and easy updates. ETHOS provides PSA the ability to push new updates to each device when they become available which reduces the burden on the training department and ensures that the pilots are accessing the most current, up-to-date content.
ETHOS content is deployed both online and via an application on the iPad. Pilots can access ETHOS via the iPad with or without Wi-Fi while still enabling their progress to be tracked via the Aerosim Learning Management System.
"The ETHOS Systems Knowledge Suite has allowed PSA pilots the flexibility to study and review aircraft systems at their own pace, when and where they want. With the mobile platform, pilots can study virtually anywhere they feel comfortable."
– Lucas Bowden, PSA Ground Training Supervisor
Since the implementation of ETHOS , PSA has seen a benefit from the FMST offering that they had not previously expected. Because the FMST is offered on the iPad, it has now become invaluable to them. With increased amount of training that PSA now conducts, the time with FMS trainers is limited as the physical FMS CDUs are very expensive. Pilots can practice FMS programming at any time within the ETHOS application on their company issued iPads. Due to the positive feedback from pilots, PSA is currently reviewing additional Aerosim solutions to implement.
The ETHOS Training Suite allows me to study away from the training center and allows me to better manage my study habits.
– Jim, PSA Pilot
In addition, after training, pilots can continue to access the Aerosim ETHOS Systems Knowledge Suite to continue to review the training content, either on an iPad or online. Due to the positive feedback from pilots who have used ETHOS and the resulting more efficient and effective training footprint, PSA is currently reviewing additional Aerosim solutions to implement.
The ETHOS System is broken into logical modules and is much easier to retain.
– Dean, PSA Pilot

PSA Airlines Goes Paperless in the Cockpit with iPad Program
PSA Airlines is putting electronic flight plans, weather updates, schedule changes and more right in its pilots' hands with its Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program. An EFB, which replaces more than 35 pounds of paper-based reference material and manuals that pilots often carried in their carry-on kitbag, offers numerous benefits for PSA and its pilots. The project is another example of how PSA airlines is looking to the future to incorporate new and exciting ways to bring technology to the forefront of the way they handle day-to-day business.
With EFBs, pilots can view detailed weather, route and airport information. Aircraft manuals and company documents can be easily accessed and searched in electronic format. Simple interfaces will ensure that all material on the device can easily be updated with the most current approved versions. All EFBs will have 4G LTE connectivity on the ground, and pilots can save information for easy access while in the air. This upgrade will put mainline pilots at American Airlines and its wholly owned regional pilots on a common software system.
PSA Director of Training Darren Hall said, "The implementation of the EFB program is a positive step forward for PSA and our pilot group. The requirement for tedious manual revision and lugging a heavy flight bag through the airport is a thing of the past for our flight crew. The company also benefits with electronic means to remain in regulatory compliance, reduced basic operating weight, and more efficient communications."
Forty PSA pilots have already received fully-configured Apple iPad Air 2 tablets, as part of a test program. The feedback from these pilots will be used to validate the program and receive final FAA authorization later this year.
The move to EFBs is a cost-saving measure for PSA and its parent company, American Airlines. With the iPad replacing the weight of the manuals and luggage, the program helps save on fuel.
PSA Airlines Expands its $15,000 Sign-on Bonus to Pilots with Part 135 Experience
PSA Airlines, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines, is expanding its bonus program for new-hire pilots. In addition to the $10,000 signing bonus all new-hire pilots receive, PSA will now offer up to $5,000 for new-hire pilots who have 1,000 hours of Part 135, Part 121 or any combination of the two.

Charles Colson, Nixon's Political Enforcer, Dies at 80
By TIM WEINER; Laurie Goodstein contributed reporting.
Published: April 23, 2012
Charles W. Colson, who as a political saboteur for President Richard M. Nixon masterminded some of the dirty tricks that led to the president's downfall, then emerged from prison to become an important evangelical leader, saying he had been ''born again,'' died on Saturday in Falls Church, Va. He was 80.
The cause was complications of a brain hemorrhage, according to Prison Fellowship Ministries, which Mr. Colson founded in Lansdowne, Va. He lived in Leesburg, Va., and Naples, Fla.
Mr. Colson had brain surgery to remove a clot after becoming ill on March 30 while speaking at a conference, according to Jim Liske, the group's chief executive.
Mr. Colson went to prison after pleading guilty to obstructing justice in one of the criminal plots that undid the Nixon administration. After having what he called his religious awakening behind bars, he spent much of the rest of his life ministering to prisoners, preaching the Gospels and forging a coalition of Republican politicians, evangelical church leaders and Roman Catholic conservatives that has had a pronounced influence on American politics.
It was a remarkable reversal.
Mr. Colson was a 38-year-old Washington lawyer when he joined the Nixon White House as a special counsel in November 1969. He quickly caught the president's eye. His ''instinct for the political jugular and his ability to get things done made him a lightning rod for my own frustrations,'' Nixon wrote in his memoir, ''RN: The Memoirs of Richard Nixon.'' In 1970, the president made him his ''political point man'' for ''imaginative dirty tricks.''
''When I complained to Colson, I felt confident that something would be done,'' Nixon wrote. ''I was rarely disappointed.''
Mr. Colson and his colleagues ''started vying for favor on Nixon's dark side,'' Bryce N. Harlow, a former counselor to the president, said in an oral history. ''Colson started talking about trampling his grandmother's grave for Nixon and showing he was as mean as they come.''
As the president's re-election campaign geared up in 1971, ''everybody went macho,'' Mr. Harlow said. ''It was the 'in' thing to swagger and threaten.''
Few played political hardball more fiercely than Mr. Colson. When a deluded janitor from Milwaukee shot Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama on the presidential campaign trail in Maryland in May 1972, Nixon asked about the suspect's politics. Mr. Colson replied, ''Well, he's going to be a left-winger by the time we get through.'' He proposed a political frame-up: planting leftist pamphlets in the would-be killer's apartment. ''Good,'' the president said, as recorded on a White House tape. ''Keep at that.''
Mr. Colson hired E. Howard Hunt, a veteran covert operator for the Central Intelligence Agency, to spy on the president's opponents. Their plots became part of the cascade of high crimes and misdemeanors known as the Watergate affair.
Their efforts began to unravel after Mr. Hunt and five other C.I.A. and F.B.I. veterans were arrested in June 1972 after a botched burglary and wiretapping operation at Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington. To this day, no one knows whether Nixon authorized the break-in or precisely what the burglars wanted.
''When I write my memoirs,'' Mr. Colson told Mr. Hunt in a November 1972 telephone conversation, ''I'm going to say that the Watergate was brilliantly conceived as an escapade that would divert the Democrats' attention from the real issues, and therefore permit us to win a landslide that we probably wouldn't have won otherwise.'' The two men laughed.
That month, Nixon won that landslide. On election night, the president watched the returns with Mr. Colson and the White House chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman. ''I couldn't feel any sense of jubilation,'' Mr. Colson said in a 1992 television interview. ''Here we were, supposedly winning, and it was more like we'd lost.''
''The attitude was, 'Well, we showed them, we got even with our enemies and we beat them,' instead of 'We've been given a wonderful mandate to rule over the next four years,' '' he said. ''We were reduced to our petty worst on the night of what should have been our greatest triumph.''
The Watergate operation and the dirty tricks campaign surrounding it led to the criminal indictments and convictions of most of Nixon's closest aides. On June 21, 1974, Mr. Colson was sentenced to prison and fined $5,000. Nixon resigned seven weeks later after one of his secretly recorded White House tapes made clear that he had tried to use the C.I.A. to obstruct the federal investigation of the break-in.
Mr. Colson served seven months after pleading guilty to obstructing justice in the case of Daniel Ellsberg, a former National Security Council consultant who leaked the Pentagon Papers, a secret history of the Vietnam War, to The New York Times. In July 1971, a few weeks after the papers were published, Mr. Colson approved Mr. Hunt's proposal to steal files from the office of Mr. Ellsberg's psychiatrist. The aim was ''to destroy his public image and credibility,'' Mr. Hunt wrote.
''I went to prison, voluntarily,'' Mr. Colson said in 2005. ''I deserved it.''

MICHELE NORRIS, host:
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Michele Norris.
MELISSA BLOCK, host:
And I'm Melissa Block.
Eric Clapton has been reinventing himself musically for more than 40 years now. But the strong pulse of the blues has powered his guitar-playing since the beginning. From The Yardbirds when he was 18…
(Soundbite of song "Boom, Boom")
Mr. ERIC CLAPTON (Musician): (Singing) Boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm going to shoot you right down.
BLOCK: …on to his stint with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. This is Clapton's first recorded vocal, a Robert Johnson song.
(Soundbite of song "Ramblin' On My Mind)
Mr. CLAPTON: (Singing) I got rambling, I got rambling all on my mind
BLOCK: Clapton brought the blues to the super group, Cream…
(Soundbite of music)
BLOCK: …and to Derek & the Dominos.
(Soundbite of song "Crossroads")
Mr. CLAPTON: (Singing) Tried to flag a ride. Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.
BLOCK: Eric Clapton is 62 now and has just come out with his autobiography. I met him in our New York studios to talk about the blues. We started by talking about his first guitar. It was a steel-string Hoyer made in Germany. He says it was about as big as he was at 13.
Mr. CLAPTON: It was a very cheap guitar. And most cheap guitars, as anyone will tell you who tries to play a cheap guitar, is that they hurt to play. So it kind of put me off in a way. It was - it sounded nice, but it was just such hard work, and I gave up. I mean, so I started playing when I was 13 and gave up when I was 13 and a half.
BLOCK: You were listening to the radio, and I want to play you something. I know you're going to recognize it.
(Soundbite of BBC Radio program with Uncle Mac)
Mr. DEREK MCCULLOCH a.k.a Uncle Mac (Radio Presenter and Producer): Hello, children everywhere. This is Uncle Mac. Good morning to you all. It's here in London on Saturday, the seventh of February. It's quite fine and cold, so far.
Mr. CLAPTON: Well, that's Uncle Mac and he was on, if I remember rightly, Saturday morning. And he would play a variety of music, which mainly was for kids. Most of the time, it would be, I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush. Have we met somewhere before? Those kind of things, or "How Much is that Doggy in the Window?" All those kind of novelty things he would play.
And then, every now and then, he'd play some blues. And I don't know what this guy was on. I've - I can't imagine how it would get snuck into, whether it was his taste or someone else's, his wife's - who knows? And I heard - the first time I heard the blues was on that show - it was I think Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee playing a thing called "Whooping the Blues" or something like that.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. CLAPTON: And that's where it started.
BLOCK: What was it about that?
Mr. CLAPTON: I have no idea. I mean, it got to me on a level that nothing else did. And I think it was - I got what they were trying to do. I mean, and I think that, you know, the purity of what they were trying to do on the - everything else that we - you could hear on the radio. I mean, aside from great, classical music or great opera, there was a seriousness about it that none of these other music had. All everything else was novelty and sort of glitchy kind of weird stuff, and that was dead serious.
BLOCK: That felt like the real thing.
Mr. CLAPTON: The real thing.
BLOCK: I'm surprised it didn't make you want to be a harmonica player.
Mr. CLAPTON: Well, it kind of did. But - and I tried to play harmonica, but I couldn't figure it out.
BLOCK: You couldn't do what Sonny Terry was doing?
Mr. CLAPTON: No, no way.
(Soundbite of music)
BLOCK: You write in the book about other guitar players who you were listening to, who started influencing your style, and one of them is Big Bill Broonzy.
Mr. CLAPTON: Big Bill was the one I think that got to me on another level above everybody else because he was just an extremely good technician. He was a great player.
BLOCK: Let's listen to his song "Hey, Hey" a little bit.
(Soundbite of song "Hey, Hey")
Mr. CLAPTON: Wow.
(Soundbite of song "Hey, Hey")
Mr. CLAPTON: The thing I like - when you can hear his foot tapping and just the rhythm. It was absolutely perfect, you know?
BLOCK: It's so interesting to me that as you're listening to this, you got a big smile on your face.
Mr. CLAPTON: Oh, yeah.
BLOCK: And you still say, wow…
Mr. CLAPTON: Wow.
BLOCK: …even now.
Mr. CLAPTON: Oh, yeah. You - well, I - if I have - I haven't heard this for a couple of months so, I don't, you know, I listen to this stuff all the time, believe it or not, even today. So - but if I don't hear it for a couple of weeks or a couple of months, it comes back with such strength for me.
BLOCK: You write about listening what he was doing, that you were trying to figure out how to do it as a young guitar player, which was bend the notes…
Mr. CLAPTON: Yeah.
BLOCK: …make a blue note, you call it.
Mr. CLAPTON: Yeah, yeah.
BLOCK: What's that?
Mr. CLAPTON: Well, bending a note up on, you know, the top strings, the first, second string, you can bend from one fret up, say, two frets up. I mean, you just take the string and bend it to one side. And it moves through between being a minor to a major sometimes. And it has some kind of quality - an emotional quality, which - I mean, it's beyond description. It really hits the soul in some way or moves the heart or something.
(Soundbite of music)
BLOCK: You say that Muddy Waters is probably the blues player who influenced you the most. You think that's about right?
(Soundbite of song "Honey Bee")
Mr. CLAPTON: Overall, it could be right, yeah. You see, Muddy was there at a time when really the music was getting to me and I was really trying to grasp it and make something out of it.
BLOCK: This is his song, "Honey Bee."
(Soundbite of song "Honey Bee")
Mr. MUDDY WATERS (Musician): (Singing) Sail on, sail on my little honey bee, sail on
BLOCK: And you say you were trying to imitate a tone that he was getting. What was he - what were you taking away from Muddy Waters as a young player when you were learning?
Mr. CLAPTON: Well, the slide playing, and there was a thing he does in part of a - first part of the verse where he sings a line and then he plays - it's like the one that I think you call it a triad. It's a three-finger shape, which you would normally use to make the chord of D.
BLOCK: And you're making that shape in your fingers right now.
Mr. CLAPTON: And I'm making - I just automatically do it.
BLOCK: That's a D, right?
Mr. CLAPTON: Yeah, and it's like a bell. It makes the sound of a bell.
(Soundbite of song "Honey Bee")
Mr. CLAPTON: A lot of the time, these guys were symbolizing sounds that they would hear themselves, like the sound of trains and train bells. And that was -it really hooked, it was a hook to me. And I kind of made - this is a sort of milestone for my learning capability. If I can get that, I'm one rung up the ladder.
BLOCK: When you listen to these songs, are you hearing them, in a way, through your fingers right now?
Mr. CLAPTON: I've learned to understand, yeah. I think - I - but, you know, the mystery is that when you actually see sometimes footage of Muddy or people like that, they're not doing anything like what you think they're doing. And so what you've interpreted by listening may not be exactly what they're doing at all.
BLOCK: So you have a different impression in your mind than what they're actually doing?
Mr. CLAPTON: Yeah, yeah. I mean…
BLOCK: I guess I'm wondering whether you have like a physical reaction as you hear the music as a player. That you actually…
Mr. CLAPTON: I do, according to what I've learned it to be. And, you know, we did spend some time together. But I was never really comfortable with asking him, you know, technical questions. I wish I had.
BLOCK: You think…
Mr. CLAPTON: I wish I had.
BLOCK: Because you've got quite close. I mean, you say he's like a father figure to you.
Mr. CLAPTON: Oh, we did get - but we never dealt with stuff. We never, you know, I never said, oh, can I - will you show me how to do it? I felt it was inappropriate. It's stupid, really. Maybe - I'm sure it was, it would have been okay.
BLOCK: Were you too proud do you think?
Mr. CLAPTON: I think probably so, yeah.
BLOCK: So what would you talk about?
Mr. CLAPTON: Oh, anything. But see, that was the other thing about Muddy. When I've got to own Muddy, unfortunately, my drinking career was in full sway. So we just kind of - I mean - and he liked to drink too. You know, I mean, there - he wasn't really down on it, but I was definitely not, you know, I was not really there as much as I wish I had been.
BLOCK: And tomorrow on the program, I'll talk with Eric Clapton about his years of drug and alcohol addiction, and how his music survived. You can read an excerpt from "Clapton: The Autobiography" at npr.org.

Bad Axe men get jail time for receiving, concealing stolen weapons
Published 8:00 pm, Monday, August 29, 2005
BAD AXE Two Bad Axe area men charged with receiving and concealing stolen weapons were ordered to spend the next six months in the Huron County Jail following their sentencing Monday afternoon.
Steven E. Suerwier, 21, and Christopher Johnsonbaugh, 29, accepted a plea agreement in mid-June with the Huron County Prosecutor's Office. The men pleaded guilty to the felony charge of receiving and concealing stolen weapons. In return, a count of possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony which would have carried a two-year prison sentence was dismissed Monday. The plea agreement also stipulated Suerwier and Johnsonbaugh must testify truthfully if needed against three others more heavily involved in the case.
For Suerwier, who has spent the past 231 days in the Huron County Jail, his sentence of 180 days allowed him to be released Monday.
Johnsonbaugh only had five days credit toward his sentence. Knoblock allowed Johnsonbaugh work release while he serves out his sentence, which is to begin Wednesday night.
The two men also were placed on probation for two years and were ordered to pay fines and costs.
The charges stem from a December incident in which approximately 18 guns were stolen, along with a safe.
Huron County Prosecutor Mark Gaertner said in an earlier interview the case is a classic example of trading "little fish" like Johnsonbaugh and Suerwier to get at the "big fish."
He told the court Monday the police investigation revealed neither Johnsonbaugh nor Suerwier were involved in the breaking and entering to the home when the guns were stolen, but the two men accepted the firearms in the days that followed. Only some of the firearms have been recovered.

Author's Note & Update:
Hi, everyone! So you may or may not have noticed that I have changed the title for this story. This is because I realized how long the original story is going to be, so I've decided not to start it with the very beginning (as this first chapter is), and just have two separate stories. This one will be more focused on the characters' background stories, while the other will follow the intended plot. I will still continue this story, although it will probably be a while before I come back to it. Hope this won't confuse anyone! Meanwhile, I will be uploading the original story's (now) prologue/first chapter very soon; go check it out!

Fuel announces tenth anniversary season
Theo Bosanquet • Bath, Birmingham, Bolton, Brighton, Bristol, Bromley, Cardiff, Chichester, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Guildford, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Off-West End, Oxford, Southend, Sunderland, Watford, West End, Wimbledon, York • 13 May 2014
Fuel has announced its tenth anniversary season, which will feature a range of new commissions and the start of a year-long collaboration with scientific research centre the UCL Ear Institute.
Established by Louise Blackwell and Kate McGrath in 2004, Fuel's stated aim was to "break the mould" of the production of new work.
"Doing new things has remained at the core of the company's ethos in the ten years since it was started," according to press material. "For its tenth anniversary Fuel has put together a programme of work that is brought about by this governing principle."
This year will see three previously unannounced projects commissioned by Fuel reach their conclusions: Phenomenal People, a "celebration of inspiring women"; Music to Move to, which invites audiences to make films of themselves dancing and upload them online; and Ten Years From Now, housed in an ice-cream van, in which ten year-olds predict what the world will be like in ten years' time.
There will also be three world premieres - Screen Play, a night of Fuel films made by artists the company has worked with before, This Last Tempest, a Shakespearean sequel by Uninvited Guests that tours from July, and Fiction by David Rosenberg and Glen Neath, billed as "an anxious journey through the sprawling architecture of our dreams", that opens in October.
Meanwhile, artists including Clod Ensemble, Melanie Wilson, Will Adamsdale, Inua Ellams and Benji Reid will present "embryonic versions" of new work to audiences in the coming months, at venues ranging from BAC to Northern Stage.
And as part of a year-long residency with the UCL Ear Institute, Fuel will "explore new ways in which scientists and artists can work together to enhance and enrich each other's understanding of the hearing brain."
The company has also launched a fundraising campaign to support artists during very early research and development of new ideas. Anyone can now donate £10 towards a target of £10,000 by texting 'Fuel10 £10' to 70070.
As previously announced, Fuel's anniversary season also includes The Roof by Requardt & Rosenberg (Electric Hotel), a site-specific production that opens next month as part of LIFT (see trailer below).

Visitors can choose their holiday from a buffet of high island or atoll destinations. And on virtually all the islands there is the widest possible range of tourist accommodation, from campgrounds and backpacker lodges, to modestly-priced pensions (small family hotels, pronounced pohn-see-on) and self-catering cottages, to deluxe hotels complete with over-water bungalows.
Most resorts and hotels offer 'Island Nights', where traditionally prepared Polynesian foods such as raw fish and wild pork are served, followed by exhibitions of zestful Tahitian dancing and drumming – a cultural experience not to be missed. Outside the resorts on the outer islands there are charming villages to be explored, such as Paopao on Moorea, Fare on Huahine, Uturoa on Raiatea and Vaitape on Bora Bora. These sleepy little settlements all have their own alimentation (grocery) patisserie (baker), cafes and restaurants for visitors to sample at their leisure.

What does dandie dinmont terrier mean?
Definitions for dandie dinmont terrierˈdæn di ˈdɪn mɒnt
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word dandie dinmont terrier.
Princeton's WordNet
Dandie Dinmont, Dandie Dinmont terrier(noun)
a breed of small terrier with long wiry coat and drooping ears
Dandie Dinmont Terrier
A Dandie Dinmont Terrier is a small Scottish breed of dog in the terrier family. The breed has a very long body, short legs, and a distinctive "top-knot" of hair on the head. A character in Sir Walter Scott's novel Guy Mannering has lent the name to the breed, with "Dandie Dinmont" thought to be based on James Davidson, who is credited as being the "father" of the modern breed. Davidson's dogs descended from earlier terrier owning families, including the Allans of Holystone, Northumberland. There are three breed clubs in the UK supporting the breed, although it is registered as a Vulnerable Native Breed by the Kennel Club due to its low number of puppy registrations on a yearly basis. The breed is friendly, but tough and is suitable for interaction with older children. There are no breed specific health concerns, but they can be affected by spinal issues due to their elongated body and the breed is affected by canine cancer at a higher than average rate.

Greetings from RFK Stadium, where D.C. United is expecting the largest turnout for a regular season match in three years. The presale was around 23,000, the parking lots were buzzing with activity and lines were beginning to form at the ticket windows two hours before the 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
There's no standard TV coverage in the Washington area, so you'll have to rely on the MLS cable/satellite pay package or online service. If you're able to follow the match, we welcome your pregame, in-game and postgame observations in our comments section.
I'll be back soon with DCU's lineup and subs, as well as any Galaxy personnel news.
DCU LINEUP: Hamid; Korb, Jakovic, White, Burch; Quaranta, Simms, McCarty, Pontius; Wolff, Brettschneider. Subs: Davies, Ngwenya, Boskovic, Najar, Fred, Woolard, Onstad. (Kitchen is out with the flu.)
Galaxy star Landon Donovan, who was held out of practice the past week because of a knee ailment, did not travel with the team to Washington. It hasn't been determined whether he will join the Galaxy in Toronto ahead of Wednesday's match.
