During this week, the court travelled from Woodstock, via Pershore, to Worcester. The main focus of attention was the threat from the Marches. While the court was at Woodstock, preparing to move west, the sheriff of Oxfordshire and Berkshire was ordered to assemble all the knights of the counties and lead them in person to meet the king at Worcester on 11 December. (CPR 1258-66, 475-6)
A rapid campaign in the Marches led to the submission of the marcher lords, caught between de Montfort's forces advancing from Oxford, and on the other side Llywellyn's Welsh. The Peace of Worcester required the marchers to go into exile for a year, while de Montfort took custody of their lands. Arrangements for Edward's release would be discussed at a parliament, to be held in January. (Flores, II, 504; Maddicott, Montfort, 307)
At Worcester, on 14 December, summonses were sent out for this parliament to meet in London on 20 January. These summonses were sent to bishops and abbots, with many more following on 24 December, covering a large number of abbots and priors, five earls and only eighteen barons – an indication perhaps of the government's lack of support among the magnates. The summonses which were to make this parliament famous were also sent out on 24 December: each county was to send two knights; the citizens of York, Lincoln and unspecified other towns were each to send two citizens or burgesses; and the Cinque Ports were each to send four representatives. (Foedera, I, I, 449; Close Rolls 1264-68, 84-7, 89)
The court's presence in Worcester was presumably responsible for a gesture aimed at undoing some of the damage done during the disorders early in the year. At the end of February, Robert de Ferrers, earl of Derby, had besieged and taken Worcester, sacking the city and destroying the Jewish quarter. Ferrers had seized the chest holding the charters recording debts to the Jews, and taken it to his castle at Tutbury. When lord Edward had captured Tutbury, he had broken open the chest and sent the charters to Bristol, which was held by the royalists. Edward's clerks were ordered to hand over the charters to the chirographers of the Jews of Worcester, so that they could be replaced in the chest. This would allow the Jews once again to collect the debts they were owed, but it seems unlikely that Edward's followers would obey such instructions, particularly as one of them was Warin of Bassingbourn, who had led the attempt to free Edward from captivity. (Close Rolls 1264-68, 82-3)
There were outbreaks of disorder in the south-west, where the government was trying to repress breaches of the peace, homicides, plundering and house-burning in Devon, Somerset and Dorset. Also in Devon, there was a further indication of the dominance of Simon de Montfort, and the personal advantages he was gaining. De Montfort was given custody of all the lands and holdings in Devon belonging to Richard of Cornwall, the king's brother.(CPR 1258-66, 475; Foedera, I, I, 448) Henry de Montfort, as warden of the Cinque Ports, had been instructed to ensure the safety of wool and other goods belonging to foreign merchants. He was now ordered to move the merchandise to safer places. (CPR 1258-66, 393)
On 8 December, the archbishop of York and the bishops of London and Lincoln were instructed to hear the complaints of the clergy who had suffered injuries and damages due to plundering during the recent disorders, as provided by the prelates and nobles in London. The patent roll said that the bishops would arrange compensation for the clergy, which would be enforced by the justiciar, who would have a hundred or more knights and serjeants to distrain offenders. According to the London chronicler Arnold fitz Thedmar, this tribunal was set up about the end of October, and given full powers by the king and barons to correct all the injuries done to the church since Easter 1263. Anyone who did not submit to the judgement of the bishops would be excommunicated. The bishops were also to collect the revenues of benefices held by foreigners. Three chronicles record that a church council was held about this time at Reading. This approved an appeal against the legate's sentence of excommunication, which the bishops had refused to publish. (CPR 1258-66, 375, 393; Cronica Maiorum, 70; C&S, II, I, 699-700)

Jordan to dump Peter?
Ahead of Tuesday night's home game against Coventry City, Crystal Palace manager Peter Taylor played down talk that he was under pressure from Eagles chairman Simon Jordan following a poor start to the season.
Speaking after Saturday's defeat at Norwich, Taylor said: 'I do read the papers so I know what's being said but I have not had a conversation with the chairman.
'Having said that I suppose a result today would have helped.'
What will help Taylor of course is a win over a Sky Blues side managed by his predecessor Iain Dowie.

GREENVILLE, N.C. (Aug. 28, 2009) — Golden Living Center has donated $110,166 to the Department of Family Medicine at the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University to support the department's nursing home teaching project.
The department provides primary medical care for the residents of the local Golden Living facility on MacGregor Downs Road.
Hal Garland, executive director of the local Golden Living Center, presented the check Aug. 14 to Dr. Kenneth Steinweg, chairman of the Department of Family Medicine; Dr. Tae Joon Lee, medical director at Golden Living Center; and Maria Knupp, a family nurse practitioner in the family medicine department's geriatric division.
The money will be used to support the instruction of family medicine residents and fellows in geriatrics and to help pay for salaries and teaching materials for the program.
Golden Living Center's new 72,000-square-foot facility houses 152 residents.
This year is the 28th the center has supported the teaching project.

I have seen relativity no change in how horde plays in the US. There is a slight increase in GY farming but even then I have not had a group not capture 3 flags so they could farm more. Its more like less people escort the flag and more sit killing them on respawn. 50% of the people still play like every BG is a death match 25% of the players trying to win are newly boosted toons and the rest are a mix of bots or people just messing around having fun in there own way.
I do agree that it changed my playstyle aswell (full geared enhance), i rather avoid fights for objectivies if i have the buff on unless its 100% win
Time is on our side
Brutal Gladiator Enhancement Shaman *rawr*
If it makes the queues go faster then it actually helps me. I only queue up for AB (finishing off that god forsaken rep) so if players want to farm HKs on the roads or at graveyards it makes it that much easier to win the game.
Well pretty much 9/10 40-man BGs now are graveyard farming.
"When I die I want the shaman class developers to lower me into my grave so they can let me down one last time."
Shamans in WoW - "We're the dumb blonde at the workplace. We look great, but people question what we're actually doing."
BGs seemed fine from my perspective. I was doing a bunch of them the past weekend to finish my Grievous set so I can get my second BG mount in arenas.
People were stupid and ignored objectives before Bloody Coins were implemented. If you don't know that, you never did random BGs seriously. Which is why I'm still hopeful that someday we'll see a battleground with no objectives and no pillars, just plain kill each other.
If anything, Bloody Coins just showcase what's the lingering issue with WoW PvP: it's way too focused on gear. A fresh 90 has absolutely no chance against a full Prideful player even if they're 200% better than the Prideful player. I've noticed how much of a difference it made on killing people when I upgraded from Grievous to Prideful weapons.
Last edited by Gihelle; 2014-07-01 at 06:09 AM.
With the already extremely slow grind for honor gear in battlegrounds, the Bloody Coin hotfix only made it exponentially slower now that every Prideful player and their dog has an incentive to join them. One positive I guess would be that it reduced the average queue times of each battleground for both factions, but that is definitely off-set by the fact that Call To Arms is nigh impossible to do now that every player in it is almost full Prideful, and the queue times double and a half for the duration of the event
Blizzard had to go and grab the already demented uphill battle of gearing in battlegrounds, and then finally tear its limbs off one by one to where it is now.
I can't believe I'm actually doing Heroics for Honor... what the hell.
More players PvPing? Good.
People don't forgive, they forget. - Rust Cohle
Fully geared up via BGs twice. AV weekend gives 200-300 honor even for a loss. Just park your char somewhere and alt-tab. Got geared in like 3 days and only won like 4 out of 40 AVs. Still super-easy gearing.
Eh, I did it via BGs because I was really rusty with Affliction so I wanted to get back on the track with the PvP aspect of the spec - you can't do that in heroic dungeons.
But yeah, dungeons is by far the fastest way to gear up.
It's just too easy to farm coins, it did drag me back to random bg's with my 550 lock. Although I can sympathise for the newbies on the alliance side in my battle group, 47-0 was my KB score in one SoA (no gy camping), we did win though, so it's not like it means you're going to lose just because someone in the group is snipe-killing /massacring like a crazed fps'er. Depends a bit on the bg you're in I guess, but I still win far more than I lose when farming bloody coins in bg's.
Skill based MMO PvP, lol.

Full DescriptionView Full Description
Patented Truss Rod
All Hagstrom electric guitars include a H-Expander™ truss rod. It works by providing tension at both ends and running the entire length of the neck, the rigid yet light-weight alloy truss rod allows for a very low action and thin neck. This clever idea has given Hagstrom its reputation as the world's fastest playing guitar.
As well as providing ultimate neck stability, the unique truss rod also contributes to the guitars distinctive tone. It allows you to achieve a longer sustain and a round attack which adds to the tonal essence of Hagstrom.
Sustain Block Tailpiece
Another distinctive feature of the Ultra Swede is Hagstrom's signature Sustain Block Tailpiece. Produced in 1976, it made its first appearance on Swede and Super Swede guitars and has since been a popular characteristic on all Hagstrom solid body guitars. It works by each string terminating in a single, massive brass block coupled directly to the guitar's body generating a clear, bell-like sustain. The blocks are detached from each other to reduce interference between the strings, maximising each string's individual contribution.
As well as these distinctive features, the Ultra Swede is equipped with a matched pair of Hagstrom-designed Custom 62 open-coil humbucking pickups for a tight, controlled modern tone suitable for a wide spectrum of musical styles. These are operated by a simple 3-way toggle switch and a volume and tone control.

By Hindustan Times
After Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan voiced their support for actor Kamal Haasan in the religious controversy surrounding his film Vishwaroopam, Akshay Kumar, too, has spoken up for the actor.
"I have been through that myself during my films OMG! Oh My God and Khiladi 786. But I was lucky to come out of that. If we have a Censor Board to approve a film, we should respect their decision. Otherwise, in future, we'll have to go through different organisations to get a film approved, which will be so wrong," the actor said on a visit to the HT house on Thursday.
After a successful 2012 with hits such as Rowdy Rathore, OMG! Oh My God and Housefull 2 , the actor will now be seen in Neeraj Pandey's next, Special 26. "When I read the script, I was bowled over. The film is full of twists and turns. The best part is that it is based on a real life incident (Mumbai's Opera House heist), which took place in 1987."
SpecialThe actor, who has sung a song, Mujh Mein Tu, in the film, says it was Pandey's suggestion. "Once, I was humming, and Neeraj asked me: Gaana gayega (Will you sing)? I agreed on one condition, that we'll remove it if I don't like it," he said.

This week: AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Thursday through Sunday, Pebble Beach, Spyglass GC and Monterey Peninsula CC, Pebble Beach, Calif.
Kelly's fourth-round score: 1-over-par 73 at Pebble Beach.
Position: Kelly (even-par 216) tied for 62nd, 19 strokes behind winner Brandt Snedeker (19-under 197). Gonzales (14-over 228) finished 153rd, and missed the cut by 15 shots.
Recap: The majority of the field (53 of 70) shot rounds of par or better on under ideal scoring conditions at iconic Pebble Beach on Sunday. Kelly, who made his first cut of the season, was up and down. He was even-par for the day before making back-to-back bogeys on one of the easier stretches of the layout – at No. 5 (tee shot in back bunker at par 3) and No. 6 (drive on uphill par 5 landed in left fairway bunker; third shot went in greenside bunker).
Next for Kelly: Northern Trust Open starting Thursday at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Calif.

SCSU student leaves training at Technical High School
by Dave Aeikens
A St. Cloud State University student in a teacher-training program at Technical High School left the school in late April because he says he feared for the safety of his service dog.
The school district calls it a misunderstanding, and officials there say they hoped Tyler Hurd, a 23-year-old junior from Mahtomedi who aspires to teach special education, would continue his training in the district.
Hurd said a student threatened to kill his service dog named Emmitt. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has seizures.
The seizures, which can occur weekly, are from a childhood injury.

What is implicit casting
Answer : Implicit casting also known as java automatic conversions. When one type of data is assigned to another type of variable, an automatic type conversion will occur if below two conditions is met:
- The two types are compatible.
- The destination type is larger than the source type.
When these two conditions are met, a implicit casting (widening conversion) takes place. Lets take example, the int type is always large enough to hold all valid byte values, so no explicit cast statement is required.
For implicit casting or widening conversions numeric types including integer and floating-point types,
are compatible with each other. However, there are no automatic conversions from the numeric types to char or boolean. Also, char and boolean are not compatible with each other then Java performs an automatic type conversion when storing a literal integer constant into variables of type byte, short, long, or char. Please have example below:
package com.javahonk.implicitCasting; public class ImplicitCastingTest { public static void main(String[] args) { // initialize byte byte a = 100; // implicit or widening or automatic conversion to short short b = a; // implicit or widening or automatic conversion to int int c = b; // implicit or widening or automatic conversion to long long d = c; // implicit or widening or automatic conversion to float float e = d; // implicit or widening or automatic conversion to double double f = e; System.out.println("All value implicitely converted:"); System.out.println("byte: " + a); System.out.println("shot: " + b); System.out.println("int: " + c); System.out.println("long: " + d); System.out.println("float: " + e); System.out.println("double: " + f); // char to int implicit conversion char g = 'f'; int i = g; // Please note when java promotes from char to int // it will print ASCII value of char System.out.println("char to int implicit conversion value: " + i); } }
All value implicitely converted: byte: 100 shot: 100 int: 100 long: 100 float: 100.0 double: 100.0 char to int implicit conversion value: 102

Data Quality Screening Service (DQSS)
Entry ID: GES_DISC_DQSS
Abstract: The Data Quality Screening Service filters bad-quality data points from a data file using quality variables included within the file. The service is available through the Mirador search tool. It generates output files that have the same structure as the input (albeit with a few extra variables) and is thus usable in any tool made to work with the original product. The service replaces data ... objects (arrays) with the corresponding screened (filtered) data arrays. Data values deemed unusable are set to Fill Values. The output file also includes the quality mask used for filtering and the original (unscreened) data values in additional data objects. There will also be a file-level metadata object describing what was done in the quality screening process.
Currently, the Data Quality Screening Service is available for AIRS Standard Retrieval (Version 5, also known as AIRX2RET.005, AIRS2RET.005 or AIRH2RET.005), through the Mirador Search tool. Search on Keyword AIRX2RET to get a dataset list and then the "005" link to View Files. From the File Listing page for one of these products, you can invoke the service immediately for individual files by clicking on the "HDF (Quality Screened)" link. The process takes about 20 seconds to run and will download a file with the same name as the original, prefaced by "QC_", e.g., QC_AIRS.2010.03.31.070.L2.RetStd.v188.8.131.52.G10091061738.hdf.
Batch Downloads and Custom Screening Criteria.
If you want to apply the service in batch, OR use something other than the default recommended criteria, then add the selected files to the Shopping Cart. In the Shopping Cart page, select the service "HDF (Quality Screening)". This will bring up a screen allowing you to set individual criteria by variable, as well as to visualize the effect that different screening scenarios will have on the data. After you make your selections, click Submit. Click Continue to the Shopping Cart and then click Checkout in the next screen. In the Checkout screen, click URL List (Data) to get the list of URLs to apply the DQSS in batch. As you fetch each URL, the DQSS will be applied on the fly.

Believe our customers!
About 10 years ago we ordered a flower theme site for our wedding floristic studio "Natali" in MassMedia Group. The guys coped with the task in a high-quality manner, taking into account many nuances and, in general, created the website that we wanted to see. In fact, even better. A few years later, we again turned to MassMedia Group to update the design of the wedding floristic and decor studio "Natali" - everything was done perfectly.
We've been working with Massmedia Group for almost 10 years. A lot of projects and tasks have been accomplished in close cooperation - the job done is always a high-quality one. There is a full understanding and they even meet us halfway. Now we are finalizing another project and not the last!

CommonWealth Considers Sale of Its 56% Stake in Select Income
CommonWealth REIT (CWH) may sell some or all of its 22 million shares, or 56 percent holding, in Select Income REIT (SIR) to cut its debt and buy properties.
Select Income, which has a market value of about $1 billion, applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow CommonWealth to sell "all, some or none" of its shares, according to a statement today. CommonWealth will use any money raised from the share sale to repay debt and buy new buildings in city-center business districts, the statement showed.
Corvex Management LP and Related Cos. are trying to oust CommonWealth's board and have said they are prepared to buy the Newton, Massachusetts-based company, which they claim is undervalued because of "misalignment of incentives" between the real estate investment trust and its external management. A Maryland court ruled last week that they had "failed to provide sufficient facts" to halt the arbitration of a governance dispute with the company over bylaws that make it harder for investors to replace board members.
Select Income was a unit of CommonWealth before the company's shares were listed on the New York stock exchange last year. Bank of America Merrill Lynch is book runner for CommonWealth.

Students approaching the end of their holidays should not be dismayed if they haven't found property yet, because they could well end up paying less in the long run.
(PRWEB UK) 22 September 2012
September is traditionally the time when the frenetic summer of the letting market begins to wind down, as students and other summer-movers settle into their new accommodation.
However, it can also be a stressful period for potential tenants who wanted to move over the summer but couldn't find the right property, or lost out last minute to someone else. These tenants shouldn't fear, however, because they actually might be in for a better deal.
According to Lettingweb, Scotland's leading letting-only property portal, the average rents plummet after August, reaching a low point in December. So if you've missed out on summer property, a bit of patience may reap dividends in the long run as landlords and letting agents in Edinburgh, Glasgow and across Scotland lower their prices to match the decreased demand.
Lettingweb's data shows that average rental prices across Scotland peaked at £724 in June 2011, and stayed above £700 until late August – before dropping throughout September to a lull in the run up to Christmas. Delaying your move by a few months could end up saving you over £50 a month.
- 4 bedroom properties cost on average £1,219 at the beginning of August; by October that had dropped 11% to £1,088.
- That means that a 12-month lease would end up £1,572 cheaper when begun after summer.
- After peaking in July, rents in three bedroom properties dropped over £60 by autumn.
- 2 and 1 bedroom properties show less fluctuation, but still drop in the colder months.
Patrick Foot, Lettingweb's Product Manager, had this to say about the trend:
"This is really good news for anyone that either can afford to move later in the year, or missed out on a summer property. Students approaching the end of their holidays should not be dismayed if they haven't found property yet, because they could well end up paying less in the long run.
What really stands out is how significant these drops are. The savings that can be made by timing your move correctly are enormous. There's also geographical differences that can make a huge change, with flats to rent in edinburgh fluctuating differently from elsewhere. This really shows the need for any potential tenant to pay attention to the market, and not jump on the first property that becomes available. Tools like Lettingweb's property alerts can be a really great way of doing just that."
The traditional winter lull in property prices shows no sign of abating this year, and can be traced back to 2007 (according to Lettingweb records).

the light brush of feathers
on my skin, the eye
cocked at me from out
the flash of orange mask
over its cheeks, its red-brown beak
pecking between my fingers
as it tries to fly this cage --
the barred cell of my hand,
not the enormity of myself
in flesh and bone.
Oh to climb into its fluff of skin,
its hollow-boned buoyancy,
its fly-away, impassioned heart.
... again, dear sister, to let you know
Who was I to mask surprise
when I learned most all of his clothes
were still at home?
They are a comfort! I understand.
If you could have seen
me on this end of the phone
wearing the flowered nylon overblouse,
one of Mother's relics, close to my heart --
and on New Year's Day!
It was for my friend that I asked
if you might have kept
those aloha shirts
he bought, alive with vintage Waikiki designs--
palms and plumerias,
hula maidens, "woody" wagons and longboards
posed and parked by seas of neon blue ...
second-hand shirts I remember him wearing
on vacation, unbuttoned, flapping open in the heat --
just as far as he could get in his mode of dress
from black robes, the stiff white collaring
of his priestly self. The islands called,
the idea of Tahiti freed him to play,
man child instead of Father on call,
for a measured time with you
his sweetheart.
I'm traveling far from where this started.
Fact is, my designer friend
sews purses not of "sow's ears"
but of retro prints, lines them, adds a snappy handle
creating sleek and useful objects
from gaudy give-aways
with her artist's eye.
Maybe those shirts could be transformed,
take on a whole new life -- what do you think?
You might have her send you back a special one,
pack it with precious things, carry it tightly tucked under arm.
Next to your heart.
Slivers of metallic grief
tunneling to daylight
through rice paddy channels
circumventing the heart.
Fled, that careless grin,
all brash designs of hope,
a flare stubbed, a flame doused,
gone, a wink of smoke.
Under sucked-out and cringing
skies, taut fingers scratch
the secret bruised swelling,
like the bloom of a smile,
faint, a hidden turn
of the lips, a coy curtsy
of demure hotel singing
off shrill rickshaw streets.
Or like the flowering of a burn,
the stink of powdered skin,
scalded eyes, once downcast,
with a shy murmur of promise.
How can one greet the dead,
after years of sweaty days and
palsied sleep, drugged yet marred
by the thrust of bamboo dreams?
Time to twist tight the lid
to the soldier's darkened jar,
shards of mute regret,
left like ashes on the mantle.

As firefighters and rescue workers descended on Southern California this week, a parallel army of volunteers and donors gave of their time and money in ways that have encouraged and surprised relief agencies, those organizations said Thursday.
Though five days of wildfires have displaced nearly 1 million people from their homes, some agencies initially worried that the media's focus on the burning homes of celebrities and millionaires would discourage the public from donating.
Rather than spurn California victims perhaps considered less deserving than the thousands of people made homeless by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, agencies reported donors reacting the opposite way, attributing much of this week's donations to a "Katrina effect," whereby people became more attuned to giving after that storm devastated New Orleans.
"We are pleased with how the American public and corporate America are responding to people whose lives are being affected," said Kara Bunte, a spokeswoman for the American Red Cross.
Both the Red Cross and Salvation Army said it was still too early to know exactly how much money had been donated, but already significantly more money has been raised than in the first week of the 2003 fires that struck much of the same area.
The Red Cross would not estimate how much money had already been raised, but Bunte said: "There were significant spikes in donations through our toll free number and redcross.org. It's still too early to tell the kind of donations we'll receive through the mail, but we've seen several large donations from corporations. Wal-Mart donated $1 million, Anheuser Busch, $500,000 and Bank of America, $500,000."
The Salvation Army estimated it had received $450,000 in the last five days, much of it from a telethon broadcast on local networks.
During the week of Oct. 21 to 25, the Salvation Army received $240,557 in online contributions, compared to $35,795 during the same week last year.
"We don't yet have a good handle on how much money has come in," said Lt. Col. Doug O'Brien, the Salvation Army's divisional commander for Sierra Del Mar. "But, we probably haven't received more than $450,000."
That money will only go so far. O'Brien said he had already authorized $500,000 for gift cards and vouchers that victims could use to buy food and supplies.
The San Diego Foundation, a local community charity, has raised $777,000 in contributions and pledges for fire relief, said spokeswoman Sara Napoli. That figure compares to just $10,000 raised in the first week of the 2003 fires.
Agencies were upbeat about fundraising in the first five days of the disaster, but cautioned that regular contributions in the coming months were necessary to sustaining the relief effort.
The Salvation Army had only recently ended the last of its programs supporting victims of the 2003 fires, O'Brien said. Much of the money used in that relief effort came from corporate donors like Eli Lilly and Co. weeks after those fires had been extinguished.
Thursday marked a transition, as relief workers moved away from providing emergency services and started moving toward finding new homes and furnishings for victims, an effort as expensive as it is complicated.
About 1,500 homes have already been destroyed and thousands more remain in danger.
O'Brien emphasized that it was not just the rich and insured whose homes were destroyed in the fires, but many people who would come to rely on charitable donations.
"Clearly that [only the rich were affected] may be a perception for some. Some people will find any excuse not to give. The sheer numbers of people — thousands of people from San Bernardino to San Diego — have been impacted and they're not all wealthy people," he said.
Ret Boney, an assistant editor at the Philanthropy Journal, said that Americans have consistently proven to be charitable in the face of a crisis and that as they continue to hear stories of people in need of charity, they will continue to give.
"There might be an impression that not a lot of these folks are in real financial need, but there are many in the area who do need help — lower-income folks, the uninsured, immigrants who don't speak English — these are the populations hidden from view," she said.
Some major corporations have already made donations. Bank of the West, Moss Adams LLC, Cox Communications, Invitrogen, Amgen, the Eli Lily and Co. Foundation and the Irvine Foundation have all donated to the San Diego Foundation.
The Walt Disney Co., ABC's parent company, has pledged $2 million.
"It is good business sense for local companies to make sure employees are taken care of and can be productive again. It is hard to be productive when you're worried about your health, home or children," Boney said. "Furthermore, studies show that consumers and employees look to corporate America to give back."
In addition to corporations and individuals giving money, many too are volunteering their time.
According to CaliforniaVolunteers, a division of the California Governor's Office, about 8,000 people have registered to help with the state. Hundreds more are estimated to be volunteering through nonprofits and religious groups.
"Absolutely, the response has been much more enthusiastic than it was in 2003," said Karen Baker, executive director of CaliforniaVolunteers. "Katrina knocked sense into people and we realized we're all in this together."

Everton vs. Wigan: 3 Points That Show Champions League CredentialsDecember 27, 2012
Possibly more than any other result this season, Everton's gritty 2-1 win over Wigan showcased David Moyes' side to be serious contenders for a fourth-place finish.
These are the games you have to win to make the Champions League.
The games when your best player is suspended, you are down several right-backs and your exciting new attacker is missing.
The games when several players seem worryingly off-colour, few passes stick and the match is played out in miserable conditions.
In recent years, any time this kind of scenario has presented itself, the Toffees have consistently fallen short.
This was the first instance in a long time a David Moyes side played poorly but found a way to win. If this formula can be sustained, this season is sure to become increasingly memorable.
Everton are a side who rarely have trouble rousing themselves for the marquee fixtures.
They boast a formidable home record when the big sides come to town and are often plucky enough to secure a draw at the most hostile of away grounds.
They stutter when supposedly inferior opposition come to Goodison Park, especially when so many additional elements arise that could easily be blamed for dropping points. The win over Wigan was a refreshing change from recent tendencies and is sure to install an extra layer of confidence.
Under Moyes, there have been three seasons when his side have displayed this kind of resilience—2008 and 2009, when Everton finished in fifth, and (of course) in 2005, when Moyes masterminded a fourth-place finish.
In each of these seasons, the Toffees were stubborn and uncompromising in defence, often securing a 1-0 win however well they played.
Both Everton and their opponents knew that if they got a lead, it was very likely they would keep it.
Defence has not been as impressive this season, but added flair and guile in the final third has enabled the Toffees to edge past enough opponents by the odd goal.
Now they need to establish this reputation enough to concern opponents.
There is a considerable distance left to run this season, and regardless of today, the Toffees will remain outsiders to make the cut for fourth.
However, few supporters would have envisioned their side sitting six points off the champions, tied for fourth in the league, with 33 points in the bank at this halfway stage.
If they double that over the remaining half, the Toffees will secure their best-ever Premier League tally of 66 points—a mark sure to put them on the cusp of a fourth-place finish.
Clearly this game was only one instance, and it's a process Everton will need to repeat again over the coming weeks to prolong their challenge and forge this identity.
If they can, and they develop this ruthless, selfish streak, the Toffees will bear far more resemblance to a Champions League side than they have done for the past few years.

Cloud Technology Brings New Challenges for IT Teams: How to Prepare
Published 1:46 pm, Monday, December 31, 2012
Presented by:
For a successful cloud management solution, a company's IT team must be in sync with the overall business strategy for testing and development, disaster recovery, data center extensions and storage. But to meet these challenges, IT professionals need to modernize their skills to maintain a competitive edge. It is also equally important for companies to prepare for the potential challenges that may arise from having fewer in-house IT technicians. This can be made easier with help from major cloud providers like Rackspace and Amazon, for example.
So how, exactly, can today's IT professional use the cloud to prepare for tomorrow's technology challenges?

"Cloud computing allows for other avenues of solutions," said Jeff M. Spivey, international vice president of ISACA and a director at Security Risk Management Inc. "The strengths of the cloud offer rapid start up, flexibility, agility to scale quickly and to make changes as needed."
With multiple cloud options or platforms available to choose from, an IT team can choose one that meets the needs of the business in these specific areas. For example, the business may choose to test and develop in Java environments, so IT should choose a cloud PaaS based on Java. The cloud also makes disaster recovery affordable. So IT teams should understand which systems are critical to operations and ensure they are backed up.
"As demand for any one of these things changes, cloud services will automatically adapt," explained Scott Colgan, a marketing vice-president at RiverMeadow Software, which develops software solutions for rapid cloud migration. "So an IT team may choose a cloud with data center locations optimized for business and customer operations.

IT departments should choose a cloud that can meet the capacity, I/O and data request needs of the business."
To meet these new technology demands, IT professionals need to stay close to the organization they serve to best understand their needs, Spivey pointed out. From this base, it is necessary to understand the appropriate solutions, stability of providers and compatibility. In particular, skills are needed in designing and maintaining appropriate architecture of IT networks and to assure systems are matched to both strategic and tactical business goals. System architecture will become more important in the risk management of IT. Bad system architecture will present too much IT risk and security risk. No matter how strong the security system may be, Spivey added, bad architecture cannot be protected effectively.
It is also important to take advantage of the educational and networking opportunities an industry association can provide. "I am very involved in ISACA, an association for IT professionals, which helps me maintain a competitive edge in the workforce and remain current in my knowledge and education," Spivey said. "The expertise shared includes modern approaches from those applying the latest techniques and methodology daily."
And there should always be someone in-house with IT expertise, but it is up to the individual organization to decide which functions to keep in-house and which to contract out. Each organization will use criteria unique to their goals and organizational strengths. Consider the following: current knowledge of existing employees of IT support; critical processes that may need to stay within the organization to control time sensitive delivery; internal assurance programs to ensure outsourced processes adhere to service level agreements; and consistent metrics monitored at close intervals for abnormal performance.
Companies will need to determine the parts of their IT organization that are core competencies. Once identified, non-core competencies can then be put on the path to outsourcing.

The Tennessee Titans have signed former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Dominique Davis.
Davis entered the NFL as an undrafted college free agent in 2012, signing with the Falcons.
He spent two seasons in Atlanta as the third quarterback, and played in one game during the 2013 season.
Davis, a two-year starter at East Carolina who threw for 7,192 yards and 62 touchdowns, was waived by the Falcons in June.
The Titans wrap up the preseason at home against the Minnesota Vikings Thursday night. Watch the game live on News 2 at 7 p.m.

Keep em or throw em away PIOG
I decided, after going to the yearly homeschooling convention, to change my language arts and math programs. Now I have a grammar book that has been used 3 times and the second half of a 2 book set of math books that was just started. The math is completely my bad because I have known for a while that it wasn't working but decided to push ahead anyways figuring I would finish it off and then start something new BAD MOMMY!!
I just dont know what to do with the workbooks now, do I throw them away even though or? I have no intention of using either with my younger 2 so they are done for me and I cant imagine that anyone else will want them since they have been started I just feel so guilty throwing them out.
I guess this technically could lead to the bigger question of what to keep and what to throw out in general. I have this vision in my head of walking into my bedroom one day and being buried by a mountain of saved school work AHHHH. I have huge guilt about throwing away anything they do, so this vision could very well come to pass. If you see a story on the news about a crazy woman who was buried alive by papers just remember you heard it here first lol.
LOL...make sure you ask for a helmet and shovel for Christmas.
When I decide whether to keep/get rid of something, it comes down to this: Is there anything in there that shows advancement in that area that nothing else will show? Is there anything sentamental?
Follow me on my learning how to be not so mainstream, homeschooling, dealing with infertility blog!
Feel free to throw coffee at me if I'm grumpy :)
you can give the half used stuff away to someone who can use them, or go through and save out pages you could use for review or to copy and start a file if you havent already!

Nothing beats the heat like sitting under the wide canopy of a tree (the right fit could even lower your energy costs). But if your landscape is treeless, the idea of waiting a generation to experience a tree's shade can be frustrating. Luckily, a fast-growing shade tree is not an oxymoron, although you may have to adjust your definition of "fast." Here are six varieties that can be well-established within three years.
6 Fast-Growing Shade Trees
A house surrounded by mature trees is simply beautiful. If your landscape is light on trees, choose one of these six varieties to deliver shade—FAST.
Made in the Shade1/8
Weeping Willow2/8
Graceful and dramatic, the weeping willow can spring up 8-10 feet in a year. Although it loves being near water and can help prevent erosion, this romantic favorite can handle drier conditions as well.
Related: Quick Tip—Tree Care
Acer Rubrum3/8
From red blossoms in spring to fiery foliage in fall, this highly adaptable red maple certainly lives up to its crimson reputation, particularly the vivid 'October Glory' cultivar. Give it full sun and expect a 35 foot spread.
Related: 5 Fiery Fall Bushes
Paulownia Tomentosa4/8
On top of reaching 15 feet in height, this Empress tree offers delicate blossoms that scent the air with jasmine. Though it's not a great fit for all areas—some locations consider it invasive—Paulownia will thrive in zones 5-9.
Zelkova Serrata5/8
Related to the elm, but untouched by the tormenting Dutch Elm Disease, Zelkovas grow quickly into a vase-shaped tree that shares its golden foliage in the autumn. Watch it quickly grow to 50 to 80 feet high with a whopping 65-foot reach!
Related: How To: Plant a Tree
Wax Myrtle6/8
The commonly called Bayberry is drought-resistant and grows five feet a year until reaching 15 feet—just the right height to create shade and privacy in your yard.
Related: Creating Privacy Through Landscaping
Hybrid Poplars7/8
Tall, slender and flexible enough to endure wild storms, hybrid poplars can soar to nearly three stories in five years. These elegant trees look great when lining a driveway.

An array of colourful characters dashed through Sheep Street on Tuesday for Rugby Rokeby Lion's annual ladies' pancake race.
The spectacle raised well-over £1,200 for Rugby Young Carers and other local causes supported by the Lions. First-timer Jenny Varnish of Rugby Borough Council clinched overall winner, beating last year's champion Helen Wilce to the coveted Pancake Shield. Clair Woleczek, also of Rugby Borough Council, managed to raise the most sponsorship, a total of £238. The Best Dressed Award went to Fiona Heywood of Herbert Brown.
After her win, Jenny, who tore down the track in a yellow M&M suit, said: "I was roped into doing this by my colleagues at the borough council but I'm glad I entered because it was great fun. I didn't expect to win either so that came as a complete surprise.
"I'll almost certainly do it again next year to defend the title, I don't think my colleagues will give me much choice, either way."
The money raised will go towards Rugby Young Carers, which works with carers as young as eight to help improve their lives and provide respite. Many of the young people care full or part time for people with illnesses, disabilities or drug and alcohol dependency.
Lion Terry Byrne said after the event: "Rugby Rokeby Lions would like to thank all the contestants, businesses and individuals who helped make 2013's race so successful. There were some fantastic costume efforts and everyone who took part managed to do a great job raising and collecting funds.
"We're delighted to choose Rugby Young Carers as this year's chosen charity, the money raised will help hard-working young people from across the borough cope with their roles as carers for loved ones."

text: A 2004 reboot of the successful Police Story series starring Creator/JackieChan and Nicholas Tse. The movie focuses on Jackie Chan's character, Chan Kwok Wing hunting down a group of young bank robbers, who managed to kill his entire team when they attempted to apprehend them. A year later, Chan is informed by his new partner, Frank Cheng (Nicholas Tse) that they are going to strike again, and only Chan can stop them. [[DarkerAndEdgier Much darker]] than the past Police Story movies, and indeed one of the darker movies by Chan in general. Much lower in terms of {{slapstick}} and the fights, while very well choreographed, lack many of Chan's [[InterestingSituationDuel signature]] [[ImprovisedWeapon elements]], shooting instead for more straightforward, well-done action. ----!!This film contains examples of:* AbusiveParents: According to a flashback, Joe's old man is an asshole who treats his son like "trash".* AnachronicOrder: The opening sequence takes place a year after the following action scene, then the movie catches up.* AristocratsAreEvil: The antagonists are all the children of wealthy, high ranking families.* BadBoss: [[spoiler: Joe Kwan shoots 3/4 of his teammates over the course of the movie. Though one was more of a MercyKill than anything else.]]* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: [[spoiler:Frank's whole reason for helping Chen is because, when Frank was a boy, Chen comforted him moments after Frank's father--a homeless man who just wanted to feed his kid--got run over by a truck immediately following his robbery of an all-night convenience store. The jacket Frank wears throughout the movie was previously Chen's, from that incident]].* BloodKnight: The antagonists, though they primarily focus their hatred towards cops.* BottomlessMagazines: Joe fires approximately 30 rounds from a pistol into a dummy when venting. * BulletproofVest: PlayedWith: Early in the film, Jackie takes a shot point-blank to center-of-mass and shrugs it off, taking down the bad guy. One of the other cops tells him he was lucky that he [[ProperlyParanoid wears another vest]] ''under'' his vest or he could have been killed at that range.* CatchPhrase: Frank's "You're my man!" in GratuitousEnglish.* CopKiller: Chan Kwok Wing hunts down a group of heavily armed robbers who don't give a second thought about gunning down police officers. The main bad guy, Joe, is motivated to do this [[spoiler:because he was physically abused as a child by his police officer father, who had gained a high-ranking position by the time the movie begins.]]* DarkerAndEdgier* DeadfootLeadfoot: Taken to a ridiculous degree as the bus keeps driving as somehow the driver's foot is apparently on the gas, blocking the brakes, and somehow blatantly turning to maximize damage.* DeathTrap: The warehouse where Chan's team is killed in the prologue. * DrowningMySorrows: Chan in the year between the flashback and movie proper.* ExtremeSportExcusePlot: The villains are all extreme sports enthusiasts, culminating in a confrontation at a rooftop skate park. * FailedASpotCheck: Invoked by the entire police department when they're trying to allow Chan and Frank to escape, [[CrowningMomentOfFunny despite them completely failing at stealth.]]* FiveBadBand** BigBad: Joe, the main villain.** TheDragon: Fire, is as violent as Joe, and similar to Tin Tin, can also fight hand-to-hand.** TheEvilGenius: Max, the one who is often shown on a computer.** TheBrute: Tin Tin, as he is capable of hand-to-hand combat. ** TheDarkChick: Sue, the only female and Joe's girlfriend.* FreudianExcuse: Of the FiveBadBand, the BigBad is the only one whose reason for doing what he does is explicitly shown--as a child, he was frequently locked in handcuffs and beaten by his abusive cop dad, and as a teen he was ''still'' berated by the older man. Joe eventually grew to resent him, especially when his father would go on TV and declare that [[{{Hypocrite}} a police officer's behavior for the public should mirror his behavior at home]].* GratuitousEnglish: Plenty of times by the villains.* GunStripping: Joe challenges Jackie to see who can assemble and load their handgun faster. If Jackie wins, [[IHaveYourWife his men will be spared]]. [[spoiler: Jackie loses the first time, and when they have a rematch, this time for Nicholas's life, Jackie gets ahead of Joe by popping a round into the chamber while he is still assembling the gun.]]* HeroicSacrifice: ** Attempted by Frank, who commandeers a lorry and puts it right in the path of the runaway bus. He gets rammed off the pier, but miraculously survives.** Attempted by [[spoiler: Ho Yee when she attempts to detonate the bomb attached to her when Chan is out of the room. Subverted when she failed to actually set the bomb off.]]* HopeSpot: [[LoveInterest Ho Yee]] [[HeroicSacrifice cuts the wires on the bomb on her lap while Chan is out of the room]]. Despite theories to the contrary, the bomb stops. Chan returns, they embrace and then leave[[spoiler: ... turns out the real trigger was a barely perceptible tag activated by Ho Yee walking away from the bomb.]]* HypercompetentSidekick: Nicholas Tse's character Frank begins as this, but as Chan wakes up from his HeroicBSOD he overshadows Frank by a long shot. * ImprobableAimingSkills: One of the crooks distracts Chan by shooting the driver of a moving bus, causing it to veer out of control. To clarify, not the tyres, ''the driver. Of a MOVING BUS.''* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: Joe shoots Max for surrendering when the cops bring his parents to confront them.]]* MurderSimulators: The bank robbers plan their heists and traps using computer games.* MyGreatestFailure: The death of his team (including his brother-in-law) at the hands of the antagonists is this for Chan.* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: As the building he is in prepares to blow up, Jackie Chan desperately tries to carry his entire dead police squad out of the building. [[DownerBeginning He fails.]]* OutrunTheFireball: Surprisingly averted. [[spoiler: Chan and his love interest escape the fireball easily, but the shockwave still knocks her out and causes severe bleeding from the ears.]]* PoliceAreUseless: Averted, but the villains certainly think so.* ProductPlacement: One fight scene happens at the {{Lego}} stand of a department store.* ShootTheDog: [[spoiler: Joe shoots Sue after she is wounded in the chase sequence]]* SoleSurvivor: Chan, of his team.** SurvivorGuilt* SteppingOutForAQuickCupOfCoffee: [[UpToEleven The entire police department]], in order to allow Jackie and Frank to "escape" and face the bad guys.* StrappedToABomb: Creator/JackieChan's girlfriend gets strapped to a bomb. In an attempted HeroicSacrifice, she removes the bomb to set it off while Jackie leaves the room to spare him... and nothing happens. [[spoiler: The real trigger was hidden and the bomb went off when she got up later.]]* SuicideByCop: The BigBad chooses to go out this way. Bonus points for doing it while Chan was there and knew he had no bullets, and for doing it in front of his father, also a cop. * UnwillingSuspension: Jackie's team during the intro. [[spoiler:Frank during the end.]]

Rating: G
Pairing: Cecelia/Corvo
Notes: Short drabble. Romantic if you squint. But mostly not. Low Chaos.
She's not poetic in the least, but she thinks of whales and the turbulent sea when he's around.
She thinks of crashing waves and the smell of salt seeping into everything the water has touched, and amidst all the chaos, an anchor sinking silently down through the water. His eyes are grey like the storm clouds, and it reminds her of the metal on the boats, or perhaps the metal men that prowl the streets. He looks at her with those grey eyes and she feels like she's sinking. No. Floating. No. (Maybe both.)
He looks at her and she thinks of the city cased in steel, of the plague, of the flooded district. She misses her apartment more than she can say. When she was there, everything was normal. Now she isn't. But the Hounds Pit is nice enough. On some days, when the pub was full and everyone was there drinking and laughing and she's pouring the drinks, it almost feels cosy. Almost, but something's off. Something's always off. There's always a simmering tension beneath the cheer and bravado, but no one mentions it. Maybe they just don't notice.
Just like how they don't notice her.
Lydia does sometimes. At least, she likes to think she does. Wallace does perhaps, but only because he needs someone to do the dirty jobs. She didn't mind it, truly. Sometimes she feels like dust though. Just a little. And her heart breaks ever so slightly when she catches Piero kneeling in front of the keyhole and peering into the bathroom. Of course, he didn't notice her standing there. No one ever does.
But he does. He makes her feel real. She thinks it's probably his eyes. It sees her. He sees her. She's not a fading shadow, not just a blurred human shape that passes by everyone else but is never a part of them. She's the battered ship that's swimming into harbour, her very joints aching to stop in safe water, and he is the anchor that steadies her.
She's not poetic in the least, but she thinks of anchors when he's around, and then perhaps she fancies herself safe.

A bidding war is brewing in the NL East for a speedy center fielder. The Braves and Phillies are the finalists for B.J. Upton, according to Jim Bowden of ESPN, though there may be a mystery team involved as well. The Reds or Nationals could be that mystery team. Both of those teams are also interested in the former Rays outfielder, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If the Braves were to sign Upton, it would likely mean that they would not be re-signing Michael Bourn, who has been manning center field in Atlanta since the Braves traded for him at the 2011 trade deadline. Upton adds significantly more power, but Bourn is the better defender, better at getting on base and the better base stealer. Upton will be 28 years old entering next season while Bourn will be 30. Upton batted .246 with 28 home runs and a .752 OPS last season in Tampa Bay. His best season came in 2007, when he hit 24 home runs with a .300 batting average and an .894 OPS. Upton was the Rays' No. 2 overall pick in 2004.

Bentley has done some test with diesel engines, but they will not be introduced thanks to low sales expectations in US and Japan.
First up is the prejudice against diesels in the U.S. and Japanese markets, which are key to Bentley's sales. As impressive and efficient and a big diesel engine might be in a big Bentley sedan
, the bias against the oilier fuel is too strong to gamble against, according to Gush.
Second, in diesel-loving Europe, upcoming emissions standards are set to make the cost of diesels much higher. Euro 6 emissions regulations will hit hard against oxides of nitrogen, a particular sore spot for diesel emissions, though particulate regulations will stay at Euro 5 levels.
Instead of moving to diesel power, Bentley will add a more efficient 4.0-liter V-8, already announced in the 2011 Continental GT.

Second Lt. Daniel K. Inouye, who received a battlefield commission in November 1944, was one of those brave men. On April 21, 1945, while leading his platoon in an attack on enemy positions on Mount Musatello in Italy, Lieutenant Inouye was wounded in the right arm by an enemy grenade and in the right leg by another bullet. For his bravery in leading the attack while wounded, Lieutenant Inouye received the Distinguished Service Cross. His arm proved to be more seriously wounded than first realized and required amputation. Inouye was promoted to captain but not released from the hospital until February 1947.

Art of Tablesettings
October 7 through November 4, 2018
This annual exhibit has transformed into a display far beyond anything Ruth West could have imaged when she introduced
the first Tablesetting Exhibit at the Rahr-West Art Museum more than 30 years ago.
Originally, this exhibit featured traditional tablesettings of fine china and crystal, but over the years it has taken on a life of its own. It's not unusual to find tin plates or coconut shells
in place of china and crystal, the bench of a canoe or a picnic blanket used as the table, and settings such as a frontier wagon, a jail cell, or a sandy beach.
Please visit us at the Rahr-West Art Museum and enjoy this
annual event. Each year brings new and intriguing designs,
and we are sure this year will be no exception.

Avian "˜Axe Effect' Attracts Attention Of Females And Males
In a case of life imitating art, avian scents given off by male songbirds have the females (and males) flocking in.
A Michigan State University researcher revealed the process of how males draw attention to themselves through chemical communication in the current issue of Behavioral Ecology. Scents are used in all organisms for many purposes, such as finding, attracting and evaluating mates. But this is the first study of its kind that demonstrates that it is happening among songbirds, said Danielle Whittaker, managing director of MSU's BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action.Body-spray commercials feature young men dousing themselves with fragrance and "" voila "" hordes of beautiful women or even bands of angels descend upon them. Male birds deploy a similar tactic when they release their cologne "" or preen oil "" secreted from a gland at the base of their tail. It not only works to attract the attention of female birds, but it also has the unintended effect of attracting males as well.
"It's kind of like the "ËAxe effect,' in that females were attracted to the scent and didn't seem to care where it came from, meaning their own population or a different one "" even though birds in these populations look and behave differently," Whittaker said. "And I think the males were drawn in as an aggressive response to the scent of another male."
Traditionally, songbirds have been written off in terms of using their sense of smell because they have the smallest olfactory bulbs relative to brain size among all birds. Recently, however, researchers have discovered that songbirds harbor a high number of olfactory receptors, and they've been able to prove that the birds are capable of using odors to help find their way.
So, Whittaker and her collaborators in Ellen Ketterson's lab at Indiana University weren't surprised to discover that the birds used scent in attracting mates. Some eyebrows were raised, though, when they learned how attractive the scent was across populations and sexes. Another interesting find was that when given a choice, the female birds preferred the odor of the smaller males, Whittaker said.
"However, in a previous study, when they got to see the actual birds, they tended to prefer larger males with larger plumage ornaments," she said. "Based on these results, I'm hoping to find out how and why small, unattractive males overcompensate by producing greater amounts of an attractive scent."
MSU's BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action, a National Science Foundation-funded Science and Technology Center, has partners at North Carolina A&T State University, University of Idaho, University of Texas at Austin and University of Washington.
