Like New York Citys Statue of Liberty, San Franciscos Golden Gate Bridge or Seattles Space Needle, Deception Pass Bridge has become a famous landmark and destination place that draws thousands of visitors each year. So it only seems natural that as the bridge approaches its 75th year, local officials would want to throw it a fabulous birthday party.
Jack Hartt, park manager and a member of the Deception Pass Park Foundation, said the bridge holds huge meaning for the island.
Without the bridge we wouldnt be who we are, he said. It allows commerce to take place, visitors to get here and residents to get on and off the island.
Hartt will serve as emcee for the ceremony which begins at noon Saturday, July 31, in the parking lot at the south end of the bridge. State Sen. Mary Margaret Haugen, Rep. Barbara Bailey, Island County Commissioner John Dean and Oak Harbor Mayor Jim Slowik will give a few short speeches and share pieces of the bridges history.
Around 12:25 p.m., a parade of pre-1935 cars will drive across the pass and Navy planes will fly overhead, closing the bridge to traffic for about three minutes. After the procession, a ribbon cutting, much like the one that took place 75 years ago, will be performed to reopen the highway.
After the ceremony, there will be a variety of activities going on at East Cranberry Lake in Deception Pass State Park. A community picnic is scheduled from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. On site there will be food vendors like Shonuff BBQ, Samish Salmon Fry and kettle corn. Activities will include historical photos booths, games, storytelling and music by Cannery Row.
This is just a way to celebrate what it does for us, Hartt said. It connects our communities and keeps us from getting isolated on the island.
Later in the evening at 7 p.m., the Shifty Sailors will be performing at the East Cranberry Lake Shelter as part of the Summer Art in the Park free concert series.
The Shifty Sailors are a group of 20 Whidbey Island men who have been singing together for 17 years. They have toured in Europe, Hawaii and on the East Coast. Member Vern Olsen said they are happy to be part of the celebration.
Were always excited about singing and we love to do things that have real ties to the water and history, he said.
Members of the planning committee advise people to take public transit to the celebration as parking will be limited. There will be no parking available at the bridge. The lots near East Cranberry will be open, but people who want to park there will need to get their spots early. Between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., a roundtrip shuttle will be taking people from East Cranberry Lake to the ceremony. The shuttle is first-come, first-serve and seating is limited. Additionally, there will be shuttle service from an overflow parking lot south of Soundview Shopper between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

There is plenty of business advice out there if you need help – but one local firm is offering a service with a difference.
The clue is in the name for Motivation Matters, run by joint directors Stephen and Anne Walker, of Emmerson Way, Hadleigh.
The couple set up the business ten years ago, after their son Sam was grown up: "We knew we couldn't do a good job of parenting and a good job of running our own business at the same time, and they are both very important," said Stephen.
Motivation Matters offers a bespoke service to small to medium-sized businesses, they give advice on a wide variety of working practices including personal and management skills, staff performance and organisation.
Other firms offer this type of service, but talking to the couple you can see how passionate they are about their job and about helping to motivate workers in the workplace – starting with the managers and leaders.
Former engineer Stephen firmly believes that motivation is the key to increased productivity: "I believe I can raise productivity by 25 per cent - if you raise productivity you reduce the costs of what you are making."
He says bad bosses have a lot to answer for – the attitude of 'I'm the boss, do what I say' is counter-productive, he feels. He holds up Toyota as an example of good management because: "They care about the process and the people and they ask people what is wrong with the process – staff are recognised as an asset. You need to get people involved and engaged with the work."
Anne, formerly a teacher, adds: "Management have a responsibility to the people who work for them. It works both ways."
Stephen is scathing about the raft-building type team exercises which were popular with management trainers in the '90s, and about the use of management-speak: "You need to take a personal interest in your staff but it is essential that the interest is genuine.
"British reserve stops people from building these relationships –there is a difference between emotional intelligence and just being emotional."
Stephen says a lot of large firms invest in facilities for their workers and feel they are being good employers, but neglect to show they value them by involving them in the decision-making process: "Most people have more to give than they are allowed to," he says.
Anne adds: "If someone has been doing a job for ten years, they know how it can be improved."

By employing strikes from one of four categories, each combo can be unique and made to regenerate health, cue finishing moves, reduce ability cooldown times and even stack abilities. Apparently Remember Me will have "around 50,000" different combos you can create, each affecting Nilin and her enemies in numerous ways.

In celebration of The Rocky Horror Picture Show's 40th anniversary, the original movie is being screened in UK cinemas on Wednesday 25th November at 7.30pm
The screening of the iconic film will be preceded by a live audience Q&A with the show's stars Patricia Quinn and Nell Campbell with video link to Tim Curry which was filmed live at the Royal Albert Hall last month.
Curry, who played Dr Frank-N-Furter, said: "40 years we have been running, and it's all your fault. Your energy and enthusiasm has kept this movie alive for 40 - count them - years."
Quinn, who played Magenta, said: "It's extraordinary how this film has evolved. 40 years on, and it's the longest running film in cinema history. And the reason for that? It's because we never left the cinemas."
The film is adapted from Richard O'Brien's stage musical which is launching a new UK tour in December.

I'm willing to overlook a lot of the script's weaknesses in "Beautiful Burnout" because the movement scenes are so good. Besides, I never expect much from a boxing story anyway: Happy families are all alike, Tolstoy wrote, and so are boxing stories — they've got to form the most predictable subset of sport-themed narratives. (Oddly I find myself enjoying the FX series "Lights Out," but that's because the show actually is about life after boxing.)
Anyhoo, Bryony Lavery's script is adequate, which is just fine since it's not the reason you go to "Beautiful Burnout": You go for the action, directed and choreographed by Scott Graham and Steven Hoggett. And as a big fan of techno, I was very happy to see those scenes set to music by Underworld and played at an appropriately high volume. This alone could be a turnoff for some theatergoers, but it could also prompt others to buy tickets for St. Ann's Warehouse.
Underworld's "Born Slippy" had been put to very good use by Danny Boyle in "Trainspotting" — so much so that the director called on the band to write original music for his staging of "Frankenstein," currently playing in London. At a time when Broadway is welcoming Elvis ("Million Dollar Quartet"), hair metal ("Rock of Ages") and the Beatles ("Rain"), while Branford Marsalis writes incidental music in plays ("Fences"), this counts as radical forward-thinking.
Despite my good will, though, I'm not all that psyched about the recently announced decision to bring back Graham and Hoggett's previous show, "Black Watch," for a third run at St. Ann's on April 16-May 8. It's a good piece but come on, can we get a break? We just saw it in 2007 and in 2008 after all.

Our opinion: Traffic in and out of Saratoga County is increasing even faster than the overall population. Economic opportunities have their own steep cost.
It hardy requires looking up the census data to see what an anomaly Saratoga County is, one of the few places in upstate New York that's been growing for the past few decades. Just look at the slow crawl of traffic on the Northway, especially at rush hour.
Between 120,000 and 130,000 cars a day are on a highway that was built for a region of smaller towns when farmland and open space were only beginning to give way to suburban sprawl. Traffic peaks on the Northway and nearby Route 9 at almost 150,000 cars a day.
Twenty years ago, average daily traffic on the Northway heading in and out of southern Saratoga County more like 77,000 cars.
We might have seen it coming. Today's Saratoga County population of about 220,000 is 20 percent higher than it was 20 years ago and 43 percent higher than 30 years ago. And it's not like Americans are driving much less.
The result is that increases in traffic are more than double the rate of population growth.
So, overdue solutions, anyone?
Speak up — before more people driving more cars make the Northway resemble, oh, Long Island. Even if the rate of population growth in Saratoga County slows a bit, as it has in the past decade, it still remains the epicenter of the region's prospects for better jobs.
The most obvious solutions, alas, are also the most unlikely. A wider bridge over the Mohawk River would be a costly, long-term undertaking. And public transportation is a limited option, with money for the construction of light rail service simply not available.
Reason for encouragement comes in a more practical, yet more modest form, namely the Capital District Transportation Authority's pursuit of more park-and-ride lots and consideration of more express bus service.
You would think the bus would be a more appealing option for Northway commuters, especially if the CDTA succeeds in getting preferential treatment over other traffic — like being able to travel on the highway shoulder in congested areas like the stretch between Exits 7 and 8.
Yet only about 1,260 people a day use the existing park-and-ride lots. Almost all of them are commuters, but few are heading to jobs in Saratoga County. Some 85 percent of them work in Albany.
That leaves transportation planners trying to find ways to make all those cars and trucks move more efficiently. The simplest, and least controversial, would involve message boards that change the speed limit and steer drivers away from the Northway during heavy traffic.
The more ambitious ways of managing traffic would be decidedly less popular. They include carpool lanes, traffic lights that limit how many cars can enter the Northway at one time and even tolls for an express lane.
Something to think about while you're crawling along in highway traffic, or watching those who are. This is what growth looks like, rare sight that it is upstate.

We believe that our most important job is to partner with parents in training our children to love God with everything that is in them, and to have a desire to honor Him through all that they do.

WaterWays Township Community News
Four New Homes for WaterWays Township— Increasing Demand Drives New Home Construction Strategy
☰ Menu
WaterWays Township
Richmond Hill, Georgia
Read More About WaterWays Township
(Richmond Hill, Ga.)
April 19, 2012– As a direct result of the increasing interest received from the local marketplace, WaterWays Township, the 2,300-acre master-planned community situated along the edge of Redbird Creek near Richmond Hill, has announced a change in its new home construction strategy. In addition to activity from the WaterWays Township Featured Builder Group, Savannah Land Holdings, LLC, the developer of WaterWays, has commenced construction on four new homes in its RidgeWood Park neighborhood. The four homes, ranging from 2,200 – 2,400 square feet and featuring four bedrooms, three baths and detailed, low-country architecture, will be marketed by WaterWays Township Realty, LLC.
"Requests for information, tours, and realtor appointments are up 42 percent since the last quarter of 2011," offered Vance Askew – director of sales and marketing for WaterWays. "With so much interest, we've chosen to accelerate the pace of new home construction within our community and to utilize the financial strength of our partnership to respond quickly to the growing demand for new homes in our local marketplace."
"Response has been so strong that the lots are being prepared, the permits are being pulled and our architects are finalizing the design details," Askew continued. "And just as we do for all our homes, these four have been uniquely placed on lots to preserve the natural aesthetics of the RidgeWood Park neighborhood and to protect as many trees as possible."
The developers of WaterWays Township have a long history of creating desirable neighborhoods and great homes for its residents. With award-winning Jacksonville-area master-planned communities including Marsh Landing, Palencia and Baymeadows to their credit, the development team at Fletcher Management understood master-planned communities before the term was coined.
"The WaterWays development team has invested extensive time, money and effort to develop architectural guidelines for the community," continued Askew. "While each home is unique and different, our architectural patterns help to ensure that every resident will benefit from homes that maintain their value for the long-term. Homebuyers put their trust in us, because they see the decades of experience and the long-term values our developments have produced for those residents."
With groundbreaking beginning in April, move-in dates for these homes will be in July, just in time for the 2012-2013 school year and the opening of the new Richmond Hill Middle School campus.
WaterWays Township
This master-planned community situated on Georgia's historic colonial coast features gracious, low country-styled homes in an outdoors lifestyle with an emphasis on water-related recreation and activities. Planned amenities include a marina; a Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course and related Swim and Fitness Club facility which will offer elegant club dining; and a tennis complex. The community is convenient to healthcare facilities, schools, the Savannah / Hilton Head International Airport, shopping and area attractions. Lots are priced from $60,000 and homes are priced from $239,900.

Gifts for a chef?
My older brother is a chef at an Italian restaurant... does it make sense to get him something food and cooking-related for a Christmas gift, or should I assume he has everything he wants or needs? (I don't see him very often, so I'm unsure of this.)
Any suggestions for a gift? Last year my family bought him the Alinea cookbook, but no idea if he uses it or references it.

Last week thousands more combat troops, joined by Iraqi security forces, arrived to back the marines who will lead the assault - expected to begin as early as tomorrow.
'This is an overwhelming force focused on one thing - to rid Falluja of the terrorists,' said Colonel Mike Shupp, commander of Regimental Combat Team 1, a lead element of the First Marine Expeditionary Force, which is expected to be in the front line.
Scores of tanks and amphibious assault vehicles have been prepared and equipped ready for the attack. Each vehicle requires seven hours of servicing for one hour on the road and many are showing signs of wear after nearly two years in Kuwait and Iraq. So many different units are expected to be involved in Falluja that some fear the Americans may end up shooting each other.
The campaign has been well signposted, with daily bombing raids and publicity through the media in the hope that insurgents will be intimidated into surrender and civilians will leave. In April the marines curtailed a similar attack after three days, in part because the Iraqi governing council protested about the number of civilians killed. The website Iraq Body Count, which tallies media reports of casualties, said that in April up to 600 civilians were killed, 300 of them women and children. US forces say they do not keep count of civilian or enemy casualties.
'Although it is inevitable that there are some casualties in a city like this, we have done everything we can to let people know coalition forces are here,' said Shupp. 'That's one of the reasons why we have such a large show of force, so people realise they should really evacuate.' More than half the townspeople are believed to have left. Anyone still in the city will be regarded as a potential insurgent and all cars treated as possible suicide bombs.
Estimates for the number of fighters left in Falluja vary from 600 to 6,000. The Americans define them as 'former Baath party, former army, foreign fighters and other largely criminal elements - a Sopranos gang type that feeds off coercion'. Sketchy information suggests that, although different groups occasionally fight each other, they will unite to resist a common enemy.
The rebel leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian whose group is linked to al-Qaeda and is responsible for the beheading of several foreigners including Ken Bigley, is believed to have left Falluja. But others may still be there, including Omar Hadid, an Iraqi who leads a group called the Black Banners Brigades of the Islamic Army, and Abdullah al-Janabi who calls himself the Emir of the 'Islamic Republic of Falluja'. US intelligence sources say that both men have tried to introduce Islamic law in Falluja, including amputations and public executions.
The marines take confidence from their training, weaponry and armour. 'Those guys just come out shooting at tanks with AKs,' said a lieutenant. 'They're suicidal fanatics. It's sad, really.'
But even if the Americans take Falluja reasonably quickly, they face the same problems as all conventional armies fighting guerrilla wars. Superior firepower can destroy a city, but snipers can pick off soldiers when they leave their armoured vehicles. They may also melt away to spring up elsewhere.
Some commanders have been studying a book entitled Russia's Chechnya Wars 1994-2000: Lessons from Urban Combat. In 1995 the Russians pounded Grozny until the neighbourhoods harbouring Chechen fighters were reduced to rubble but, nine years on, rebels are still blowing up Russian soldiers with booby-trap bombs.
The Americans say their actions are directed by the interim Iraqi government, but last week splits emerged as Prime Minister Iyad Allawi indicated he wanted a rapid US-led assault, while President Ghazi al-Yawar told a Kuwaiti newspaper that he favoured 'continued dialogue' with tribal leaders inside the city. The Americans have already planned the attack in detail with Allawi's consent and intend to make use of newly trained Iraqi forces.
'The Iraqis will play a very important role. Iraqi police and military are going to establish a sense of security inside the city,' said Shupp. But the reality is that US soldiers and marines regard the Iraqi forces as a mixed blessing at best.
'There's not a marine here who trusts a single one of them,' said a marine lieutenant. Some are regarded as incompetent, others as spies. The two battalion-strong Specialised Special Forces, known colloquially as the Shahwanis after their commander, General Mohammed Abdullah Shahwani, a former head of intelligence in Saddam's era, is co-located with the First Marine Expeditionary Force. The elite of the Iraqi forces, their officers - all from the army of Saddam Hussein - are paid up to $3,000 a month, a huge salary here. But they, too, have been infiltrated. After a nearby mosque started broadcasting anti-American propaganda on its loudspeaker, the marines led a raid on the village, accompanied by Shahwanis. By the time they arrived, the sheikh and others believed to be connected to the rebels had disappeared.
'One of the Shahwanis had made a call on his mobile phone,' said a junior marine officer.
The marines know they cannot repeat the mistakes of the invasion, when US troops had a relatively easy military victory only to be overwhelmed by looting and lawlessness.
'The day after in Falluja is being prepared in just as much detail as the day before offensive operations,' said Shupp. 'There are extensive plans by the Iraqi government to put in an interim authority to get basic services running. We have to make the people of Iraq think there is law and order, and the legitimate government will not tolerate terrorism or criminal activity. That's what this whole operation is about.'

Armstrong rides off as champion
Takes his 7th win in row, bows out at Tour de France
Lance Armstrong stands between Ivan Basso of Italy and Jan Ullrich of Germany on the podium after the final stage of the Tour de France. (Getty Images)
PARIS -- Lance Armstrong took a two-wheeler and transformed it in an extension of his fierce will. Then he created a winning template for an absurdly long, often frenzied bicycle race that tests the limits of human endurance and used it annually the way a tailor would cut out and assemble a summer suit.
He made the routine seem extraordinary and the extraordinary seem routine.
Armstrong's seventh Tour de France victory was an efficient piece of work won by decision as opposed to knockout. There was little competitive suspense and no percolating doping allegations, spectacular crashes, spitting fans, or open feuding with rivals, race officials, or reporters.
Armstrong beat cancer and went on to be a dominant force on the roads of Europe, then had to survive intense scrutiny during his post-illness run.
The 33-year-old Texan was his usual composed self during the lengthy podium ritual yesterday as he took the microphone and urged ''cynics and skeptics" to get behind cycling and its athletes, a not-terribly veiled reference to the doubts that have trailed him and the drug-plagued sport for many years.
''Vive le Tour," he said.
Armstrong's first Tour triumph in 1999 provoked astonishment. Subsequent victories brought escalating adulation, suspicion, and finally entrenched admiration on both sides of the Atlantic.
Today, Armstrong will leave for a vacation in the south of France with his three children and a group of intimates, including his companion, singer Sheryl Crow, kicking off what he says will be a more private phase of his life.
''An individual can never dictate their legacy," he said. ''That's not my job. It doesn't matter. Whatever the people decide it is, it is. I'm a kid from Texas that learned how to ride a bike fast and overcame a life-threatening illness to come back and win the hardest sporting event in the world seven times. So I'll let the other people write on the tombstone."
Vital as Armstrong is, facing death has always been his reference point. "I've always said I'm a lucky guy," he said a few days ago. ''I'm lucky just to be here."
His racing luck over the last 15,000-plus Tour miles is indisputable. He has been largely immune to the flat tires, wrecks, and radio static that afflict most riders at least once in a while -- although in a last irony, he nearly tumbled over a teammate who crashed on a wet road outside Paris yesterday.
Armstrong was in trouble during his Tour streak only a handful of times. The day in the Vosges mountains when he and his Discovery Channel team were caught off-guard in this Tour doesn't count as one of them.
The peloton split at the base of one of the first substantial climbs and Armstrong was isolated, but he proceeded to do just fine without his usual escort of teammates.
Five-time Tour winner Bernard Hinault watched with his usual affectionate approval.
''Racing is not just win, win, win," Hinault said. ''It's controlling, managing.
''If the locomotive works well, the rest follows. The stage in the Vosges where the team was a little weak, he didn't panic. The rest of the time, the team has done what it had to . . . I think this year the rivals made the team work a little harder."
Armstrong had one winning day -- Saturday's individual time trial -- in contrast with the scorched-earth approach he took in his record-breaking sixth Tour win in 2004, when he won five of its 20 stages. Yet he wore the yellow jersey for 17 days in this Tour, more than in any of his other victories.
''It was a very technical, tactical win, almost antiseptic," said Jonathan Vaughters, Armstrong's former teammate.
Armstrong's eventual 4-minute-40-second-margin over Italy's Ivan Basso was his second-smallest of the septet, but still plenty big enough. It was built with the basics, as he related Saturday, recalling a conversation with his alter ego, Discovery Channel team director Johan Bruyneel:
''Johan and I were sitting down one night, and he said, 'You know how many attacks it takes to win the Tour de France? One. One attack and two good time trials. Tour finished.' So we stuck with that protocol and it worked."
The opening time trial was won by promising young US rider Dave Zabriskie, but the real action took place three hours after Zabriskie's start. Armstrong, starting a minute behind longtime rival Jan Ullrich, motored past the German, who was still hurting from a training crash the day before.
That embarrassment didn't break Ullrich, who wound up finishing third overall, but it proved that Armstrong was back in top form after a jumbled early season.
Three days later, Discovery won its third straight team time trial by two seconds, partly owing to a late crash by Zabriskie of Team CSC. Armstrong announced that he would eschew wearing the yellow jersey the next day, saying that since ''nobody has ever taken the yellow jersey from a crash," neither would Team Discovery. But race officials -- beholden to the jersey's sponsor -- insisted on the leader's colors.
He relinquished the lead for a day to Jens Voigt, Zabriskie's teammate, but took it back again on the climb to the Alpine ski resort of Courchevel, although young Spanish star Alejandro Valverde sprinted away from him in the final yards.
Armstrong was shut out of a stage win in the Pyrenees, the mountains that decided the race for him so many times, but had the satisfaction of seeing two teammates, long-time friend George Hincapie and Tour of Italy winner Paolo Savoldelli, earn single-day victories for themselves.
Even yesterday's weather was muted -- overcast skies and intermittent rain that prompted race organizers to declare the overall standings fixed as the riders rolled up the slippery cobblestones of the Champs-Elysees on the first of eight finishing circuits. The sun did emerge for the award ceremonies.
Armstrong has said he intends to spend more time with his children and will remain heavily involved with his successful cancer foundation and as co-owner and keenly interested ex-franchise player of the Discovery team.
Some of his friends say they can't imagine how the chronically restless Armstrong will channel his considerable physical and competitive energy. He has been known to make surprise appearances at off-road bike races in the winter and said he might dust off his old triathlon skills or even try a marathon.
''My friends shouldn't worry," Armstrong said. ''I'll figure it out."
His pal Davis Phinney, the first US rider to win a road stage in the Tour almost 20 years ago, doesn't see him sitting still for long.
''I guarantee he's going to show up at little Tuesday night training races in Austin," Phinney said. ''Just because it's in his nature and he's already set the tone that he's not so big that he can't just show up. The engine wants to be fed, and he's got a space shuttle-sized engine. He needs hydrogen fuel."
Hinault agreed.
''I think he'll find competition in other things," Hinault said. ''He knows what he's going to do. He's not worried. And when you're not worried, things are good."
Armstrong's trio of towheaded children accompanied him to the top step of the podium yesterday when he received his last leader's yellow jersey. Three-year-old twins Grace and Isabelle sashayed alongside him in buttercup-colored sundresses, while 5-year-old Luke demurred a bit before stepping out from behind his legs.
It was a soft, sentimental image -- just the kind French media and fans have clamored for over the years, complaining that Armstrong was an aloof champion.
Many things seemed different in his victory lap Tour. When Armstrong stepped away from the dais of his last formal press conference as a rider Saturday night, he was swarmed by reporters -- some of whom have been at odds with him for years -- who wanted him to autograph their media credentials.
Tour finished. Game over. No second places and no second thoughts about his dismount. ''As a matter of fact, I'm more convinced now than I've ever been," he said. ''Absolutely no regrets . . . I will live vicariously through the others."
Standing between Basso and Ullrich yesterday, Armstrong called it a ''dream podium to end my career" and gestured to each man in turn.
''Maybe this is your step," he said. ''I don't know. I'm out of it."

text: We wonder if there could be changes within the TCR sequence AFTER the recombination has taken place. Background is that we are trying to identify malignant cells from a lymphoma, but we do find T-cell clones with TCR sequences pretty similar to the presumedly "malignant sequence". So, do we have different cells indeed or might it be that these are "subclones" of the malignant cell with ongoing TCR modifications? Would these modifications be random, i.e. by "normal" mutagenesis, or are post-rearrangement processes at work? Any references? Thanks, Volker

Katy ISD sets hearing on proposed name for new high school
Published 12:35 pm, Tuesday, January 8, 2013
The Katy ISD School Naming Committee has announced the proposed name for High School 7, Katy Independent School District's newest campus, which is scheduled to open in fall 2013.
The campus at 4400 Falcon Landing Blvd. is proposed to be named after retired educator Obra D. "O.D." Tompkins Jr. He spent 35 of his more than 39 years in education with Katy ISD.
A public forum will begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17, in the Katy ISD Board Room, 6301 S. Stadium Lane.
Community members are invited to participate in this forum and provide input about the proposed name. The committee will review input and provide its recommendation to Katy ISD trustees at their Tuesday, Jan. 22, meeting.
Tompkins, who served the bulk of his years in Katy ISD as principal for Mayde Creek High School, retired in May 2012 from his most recent position as executive director for campus administrative support.
He has been called a trailblazer by his colleagues.

But I can't find it in me to disparage this goodwill effort that Apple has undertaken to not turn every third-party developer upside-down with regard to app distribution. To me it's a great sign that they're aware and at some level sympathetic to our concerns, while remaining committed to a high-security experience for users.
This entire article is tremendous. It starts with an explanation of what application signing means. Then it moves on to talk about what Gatekeeper for Mountain Lion means. Frank shares the same fears that I do about the future of app lockdown on OS X, specifically saying that this might just be a stepping stone to that. But Frank also thinks Apple went out of there way to leave a solution that works for third-party non-App Store developers, so maybe it's putting the cart before the horse.

Efraim Diveroli 22 Year Old 300 Million Arms Contract With Pentagon
The Accurate Source To Find Transcript To Efraim Diveroli 22 Year Old 300 Million Arms Contract With Pentagon."
[Efraim Diveroli 22 Year Old 300 Million Arms Contract With Pentagon]
[SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D-North Dakota):] Source: LYBIO.net
Mr. President, on one other subject, I want to say a word about something I discussed last week. And I want to show you the photograph of a 23-year-old – excuse me a 22-year-old young man. His name is Efraim Diveroli. He is the CEO – yes, he is The President of a firm that was awarded $300 million dollars in taxpayer contracts to provide weapons to the Afghan fighters in Afghanistan.
Our Department – our State Department – our military said, the American taxpayer shall pay for weapons to be given to the Afghanis, the fighters in Afghanistan.
Well that's probably another debate, but one I think most people would say if they're fighting for freedom in Afghanistan, let's help them. So we're going to help them by providing guns and bullets and other kinds of weapons. And a contract is given to a company in Miami, Florida that had been a shell company for some years; $300 million dollars was given to that company.
It turns out the company is run by a 22-year-old man named Efraim Diveroli. And, by the way, his Vice President was a massage therapist named David Packouz, a former masseur. And between the two of them, they got $300 million dollars in taxpayer contracts.
I will tell you who gave it to them. The Army Sustainment Command did it. And I want The General, in charge of the Army Sustainment Command; to come to the Congress and explain; how do you give $300 million in contracts to what had been a shell company, now run by a 22-year-old and a 25-year-old massage therapist, who apparently had since quit the company and in exchange for being granted immunity will talk to investigators.
What did they do with the money? Well, the Afghan fighters and I've got some photographs of it that in fact I'm going to – see if we can get the photographs of what the – what the product looks like that they provided the Afghan fighters.
As I'm waiting for those charts, this is the building in Florida where the office of this company was, it got $300 million dollars, $300 million dollars. There's – the office is just an office inside this building, no markings on the door. This 22-year-old President says, he is the only employee at this point, but they got $300 million dollars.
Now, here is a sample of what showed up from that $300 million. They sent ammunition to the Afghan fighters, and it turns out in some cases to have been mid-1960s ammunition made in China, almost worthless, but we paid the $300 million dollars.
Now, I mention this again, as I have so often, because three times I have offered on the floor of the Senate an amendment, and I will again, that would establish a Truman committee to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in this kind of contracting. We have shoveled more money out the door. We have sent pallets of one-hundred-dollar bills on C-130s, $18 billions dollars in cash to Iraq. We have such unbelievable waste and fraud and abuse, I think the greatest in American history, and yet there is nothing that represents the kind of oversight that the American people should expect of us.
Three times I have offered the establishment of a Truman committee. Let me describe what the Truman committee was.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House at the time, Senator Truman from Missouri on the floor of the Senate, he proposed a bipartisan select committee to investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in the Pentagon, and it passed. They did 60 hearings a year for 7 years. They were started with $15,000 appropriations, and they saved $15 billion dollars for the American taxpayer. If ever we need that kind of a committee, it is now.
[SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D-North Dakota):] Source: LYBIO.net
Three times I have offered that on the floor of the Senate, three times. Every vote on the Democratic side of the aisle has been to say, yes, we need it. Every vote saves one on the Republican side of the aisle objected and opposed and we have not been able to get this done.
I used this example because it was on the front page of the New York Times just last week, about a company that gets $300 million that appears now to have been completely wasted, American taxpayers' dollars, once again just poured down a rat hole. I use this example to say, we ought to be embarrassed to not have the kind of oversight that we should. And I am proud to say that everyone on this side of the aisle has voted three times to establish a select bipartisan committee called the Truman committee. We know this works. We have done it before.
I have held up on the floor so many examples. A little white towel that Halliburton was ordering for the troops because they have the LOGCAP contract to supply these things, a little white towel their buyer, Henry Bunting, was ordered to buy for the troops. And so he orders the white towel and the supervisor says: you can't do that. You need to order a white towel with KBR, our subsidiary, Kellogg Brown & Root, embroidered on the towel. Henry says: Well, that will triple or quadruple the cost. The supervisor says: that doesn't matter. This is a cost-plus contract. The taxpayer will pay for that.
I mean that is a small example, and there are so many large examples.
Whistleblowers have told us that $85,000 brand new trucks are left beside the road to be torched because they didn't have a wrench to fix the flat tire. It doesn't matter. The American taxpayer bought those trucks, and they will buy the replacement trucks on a cost-plus contract. It is unbelievable.
A woman named Bunnatine Greenhouse came to testify before the policy committee which I chair. And I held almost all of the hearings that have been held on these issues. The policy committee doesn't have the subpoena power, but you would be surprised how many whistleblowers want to talk about what is happening.
Bunnatine Greenhouse became the highest ranking civilian official in the Corps of Engineers, judged to be outstanding by all accords. She said the awarding of these contracts in the Pentagon for reconstruction, the LOGCAP contract, the RIO contract, all of these contracts is the most blatant contracting abuse she has seen in her career. For that, this courageous woman was demoted. She paid for it with her job, but she would not be silenced. And now her career is behind a curtain over in the Pentagon. No one will comment. It's under investigation. This woman had the guts to come forward and describe this unbelievable waste, fraud and abuse that's going on.
American people should not stand for this. We should not stand for it. And I intend again to offer the amendment that would establish a bipartisan committee to aggressively investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in contracting in Iraq; waste, fraud, and abuse in all of the other adjunct areas because I believe the American taxpayer is getting fleeced, and I believe American soldiers are being disserved by what is happening.
I mean, I can speak for hours about this subject because I have had somewhere around 15 or 17 hearings on this subject. I have had whistleblowers come to tell me that they were at a camp that was serving 5,000 soldiers a day, food, under the contract, but they were billing for 10,000 soldiers. I have seen the reports that Halliburton was billing for 42,000 meals a day, and they were serving 14,000. They were overbilling by 28,000 meals. It is just unbelievable when you see the evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse and so little interest in pursuing it.
[SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D-North Dakota):] Source: LYBIO.net
Mr. President, there is much more to say about this, but I did want to say that the story in the New York Times yesterday ought to once again be a wake-up call.
There is a commission that has been established, which is outside of this body. And the Senator from Virginia, Senator Webb, and Senator McCaskill and others have worked hard to establish the commission. And I think that is a step forward, evaluating and looking at waste, fraud, and abuse. But that is not, in my judgment, a substitute for – it certainly is a complement to, but not a substitute for the Congress having a select committee with subpoena power. Without subpoena power and the select committee to investigate, things like a company getting $200 million to rehabilitate 140 clinics – health clinics in Iraq, the money is gone and there are only 20 places that they have rehabilitated health clinics; otherwise the money is all gone. So what happened to the money?
We had testimony from a very courageous Iraqi the other day, who said $18 billion, mostly American money, has disappeared, at least disappeared within his eyesight because he was in charge of corruption – anticorruption in the Iraqi Government. He was in charge of the anticorruption unit in the Iraqi Government. They tried to kill him three times. He finally left because he said the corruption was so unbelievable, and he was so unable to stop it. He said $18 billion of American taxpayers' dollars, he believes most of it American taxpayers' dollars, has been wasted.
So, Mr. President, I am going to later this week speak at greater length about the waste, fraud, and abuse issue because we have to stop ignoring it. We have to start confronting it. I would say my colleague, Senator Reid, has been very strong and very assertive in wanting to address this. All of my colleagues on the Democratic side have voted three times to establish a Truman committee.
This war in Iraq has lasted longer than the Second World War. This amount of waste, fraud, and abuse is the greatest in the history of this country, I am convinced, and we aren't near doing what we should to provide the oversight. And it's not the fault of this side of the aisle, not the fault of the majority leader. He has been aggressive and so have we. We have offered it time and time and time again, and Mr. President we are not going to stop. The American taxpayer deserves better.
Mr. President, I yield the floor. I make a point of order a quorum is not present.
Mr. Akaka…
Efraim Diveroli 22 Year Old 300 Million Arms Contract With Pentagon. We have such unbelievable waste and fraud and abuse, I think the greatest in American history. Complete Full Transcript, Dialogue, Remarks, Saying, Quotes, Words And Text.

study the Bible VersesFree
There is no single canonical Bible and various religious traditions have produced different recensions with different selections of texts. These do largely overlap however, creating an important common core..The study of God in the pages of the Bible is both intensely practical and the joy of those who cherish him. "Great are the works of the Lord," the psalmist exclaims, "studied by all who delight in them."There is the key: study anchored in delight.

TO: Joint Procedure Committee
FROM: Andy Forward
DATE: March 30, 2010
RE: Rule 50, N.D.R.Civ.P., Judgment as a Matter of Law in Jury Trials
Staff has prepared amendments to Rule 50 based on the time computation amendments made to the federal rules. The principal simplifying innovation is to count all days, including intermediate weekends and holidays, in computing time periods under the procedural rules. Under the previous rules, intermediate weekends and holidays were omitted when computing short periods but included when computing longer periods. Under the amended rules, intermediate weekends and holidays are counted regardless of the length of the specified period.
To further simplify time-counting, the federal advisory committees proposed changing most periods of less than 30 days to multiples of 7 days. The advisory committees adopted 7, 14, 21, and 28-day periods when possible, so that deadlines will usually fall on weekdays.
In subdivision (b), lines 21-22, the time period for renewing a motion for judgment as a matter of law was increased from 15 to 28 days after notice of entry of the judgment.
In subdivision (d), line 57, the time for a losing party's new trial motion was increased from 15 to 28 days after notice of entry of the judgment.
The proposed amendments to Rule 50 are attached. The proposed amendments are highlighted.

Good hostel on the outskirts of Hilo Mar 01, 2011
A typical hostel, Arnott's is located outside Hilo near the coast. The area around the hostel is pleasant; it's close to beaches, swimming, and hiking. The dorms are ok, they allow camping too. It's a long walk into town, however, and there are limited transportation options.

Great value accommodation by the beach Apr 13, 2008
This great establishment is run by a friendly team, who really make your stay enjoyable.I thought they had all the facilities that you could want at a hostel. The following facilities were available,
- Sex-segreagated dorms (12 beds each) at $25 per bed
- Camping facilities (Around $9)
- Private rooms (Around $60-65)
- Laundry facilities
- Internet 3 x machines at a cost of $2 for 20mins
- Free wireless
- A DVD room with a selection of more than 50 DVDs to watch
- A large outdoor area for eating and watching TV
- A large grassed area for campers. (Campers seemed to be more than welcome here)
- Bicycle rental
-Their own tours( I went on their Maunu Kea & Lava tour and found both very professional and interesting)
Overall this facility is run the way a hostel/backpackers style of accommodation should be. There were plenty of activities and things to keep you occupied, and the staff made the place a friendly and fun environment. Even thou they are located outside of town, they are close to the beach and in my opinion still within walking distance to town, or an easy bicyle ride.
In my opinion this was the only hostel that I stayed at on any of the Islands of Hawaii that had a good atmosphere. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone who is staying in Hilo and looking for a fun environment to spend a night or two.

published October 2010; steampunk romance
bought my copy
Ever after Rhys Trahaearn, a former pirate, freed England from the brutal command of the Horde the common people have worshipped him. But Rhys, who's called the Iron Duke, also has many enemies and when a dead body is thrown on his compound Inspector Mina Wentworth is the one to investigate the crime.
Right from the start Rhys is fascinated by Mina and together they try to solve the mystery surrounding the dead body and other weird proceedings. Rhys soon discovers that there is more to Mina than he saw at first glance and even though he spend the last years alone he now wants her more than everything else in life. But Mina is not interested in a relationship that could make her life even harder.
Will they get a chance for a happy end and will they save England from a dangerous and secret society?
Especially the characters impressed me. Mina and Rhys are two wonderfully complex and likable characters and their relationship was both sexy and sweet. Mina is a strong and amazing woman who would do everything for the people she loves. Even though her parentage makes her the target of a lot of hate she still is a friendly and sincere person. I loved reading about Rhys and enjoyed that he is still like a pirate. The way he cared about Mina was heart-warming and he is also one very sexy and determined hero.

Ageing, local birth rates and attitudes towards immigration: Evidence from a transition economy
Ivlevs, A. (2012) Ageing, local birth rates and attitudes towards immigration: Evidence from a transition economy. Regional Studies, 46 (7). pp. 947-959. ISSN 0034-3404 Available from: http://eprints.uwe.ac.uk/14288
Full text not available from this repository
Publisher's URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00343404.2010.546779
This paper studies the links between local birth rates and individual attitudes towards immigration, focusing on Latvia - a country in economic transition and demographic decline. Possible channels through which local demographics may affect immigration preferences are discussed. Using 2005 survey data, a significant correlation between local birth rates and immigration preferences is found: people are more favourable to the inflow of foreign workers in municipalities where fewer children are born. The link tends to be stronger among the elderly and women.

Inter midfielder Alvaro Pereira has spoken of his hopes for 2013. "I want to win the Scudetto!"
Speaking in an interview to Sky Sport Italia, the summer signing from Porto underlined how hungry he is for honours.
"I want to win the championship and achieve important goals in the new year," the Uruguayan international commented. "And if we win the Scudetto then I'll cut off my ponytail."
The Nerazzurri are currently second in Serie A, four points behind reigning champions Juventus.
"Are we stronger than Juventus? I worry about my own team, not the others," he responded.
"And if you ask me about the Scudetto then I can tell you that we're working hard for this, the Europa League, for everything.
"Now Lazio are awaiting us and we have to think of each match as a Final."
Pereira has settled into his new club well and he's thanked captain Javier Zanetti for that.
"We're always together. We live near each other and he's been very important to me since I arrived in Milan.
"He tells me to make the most of everything I'm experiencing."

Ria Rio Restaurant Manado Reviews
83 reviews
Enjoy sunset and enjoy the food Apr 16, 2014
This restaurant offers seafood. The location is okay, a bit out of town but not that far. Only around 15 minutes from downtown if driving moderately.
Food is a bit expensive, above the average of local restaurant price. At least, they give discount (10% or 20%, I forgot) if we pay using any credit cards.
Interior is out of date, like in 80's.
The taste is average, not that outstanding. Remember, this is personal opinion, taste is very subjective.
I think the advantage of visiting this restaurant is more on the view. It is facing the sea and you can see the sunset and the view of Manado Tua mountain. It's nice moment especially if you share it with family or good friends.
