Keeneland Gears Up For Spring Meet, Traffic Concerns
FRANKFORT, Ky. - Keeneland will be featuring a number of new attractions and services at this year's Spring Race Meet starting this Friday.
A new tailgating lot dubbed "The Hill" will include food trucks, a Bluegrass concert series, and a jumbo screen for those wanting to watch the races outside the track.
Yet one unwelcome change could be the amount of traffic, as major construction is set to continue on US60/Versailles Road for the next ten months. Keeneland spokesperson Julie Balog says state and local officials have been working with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet to lessen the impact of the roadwork.
"They hope to have all the lanes at the intersection of Man o' War and Versailles Road open by Friday, which would free up a lot of extra thoroughfare in that area. We're also opening alternate entrances, so if you're traveling on Versailles Road from New Circle Road, you can take an alternate entrance at Van Meter Road," she says.
Balog says Keeneland is also working to demystify the wagering process for newcomers. Special betting experts will be available this year to answer questions from beginners.

With James Milner on Monday describing the playing surface as worse than at some non-League clubs, Capello is understood to have been surprised by the decision to allow Saracens to play Worcester at Wembley on Feb 13, believing it has contributed to the terrible deterioration of the pitch.
Capello will now seek assurances from the Football Association that the pitch – which has been a problem ever since the stadium opened and a constant source of irritation for the England manager – will be in far better shape when his team face Mexico in their final warm-up match in May.
He would have vetoed the rugby had England's match with Egypt not been a friendly. Capello was at the Carling Cup final on Sunday and is believed to have been appalled by the pitch and the damage that has been caused to it by its recent use and the adverse weather conditions.
The FA is already reviewing the state of the Wembley pitch, which was last relaid in September immediately after two concerts by Coldplay, although its use has been limited since England last played there, against Belarus, in October.
The FA also claim that with 80mm of rain in the week before the game and a further 30-40mm over the weekend there were extreme conditions which is why they covered it with an inflatable tarpaulin overnight on Saturday and used driers. Otherwise it may have been waterlogged.
Milner on Monday became the first England international to publicly criticise the surface, claiming it was not acceptable for the home of the international team.
"You work as hard as you can to get to a Wembley cup final and it's probably one of the worst pitches you play on all season," said Milner, who featured for Aston Villa against Manchester United in Sunday's game.
"Hopefully it can be rectified because growing up and watching games at Wembley everyone says it was like playing on a carpet. Obviously in a cup final you want to be playing in a great stadium – which it is – and on a great pitch.
"I had played there before, so knew what to expect, but it's also the home of England and for us as a team you want the best surface possible and it can be improved upon because at the moment it's not quite there.
"There's been a lot of rain but I've never thought when I have played there that it's a good surface."
Such a public rebuke from a player will hurt the FA, which is sensitive to criticism over Wembley, especially as Milner went on to dismiss suggestions that part of the problem may be because it is a relatively new stadium.
"Compare it to Arsenal, which has one of the best surfaces you will ever play on, then obviously that is a new stadium also," he said. "If there is any way they could get it the same as that one then we would be happy."
There will be concern that with the pitch "slippery and cutting up", as Milner put it, that players may collect injuries – Michael Owen attributed his hamstring strain to slipping on the surface.
He added: "Speaking to a few of the lads who are here who played on Sunday, they are feeling pretty sapped, because it's heavy. But obviously it's been raining a lot as well so you have to take that into account."
The 24 year-old will hope to gain his seventh cap on Wednesday, having become a firm favourite of Capello. The manager admires his professionalism and attitude as well as his ability and given his performance in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United, Milner is also beginning to push for a starting place in the England team.
Milner's versatility is also valued highly, with Capello listing him among the defenders in his 24-man squad, as a right-back along with Wes Brown following Glen Johnson's injury.
"I think my better position is in midfield, central, left or right but if the manager asks me to play there then obviously it's not something I'm going to turn down," Milner said.

Sheryl Crow is poised to release her first country album, Feels Like Home, on Tuesday. The superstar, who's known for her astounding success in the pop world, proved that she's got small-town Missouri-girl chops in the realm of country music last Thursday, when she previewed the album in Nashville for a small group of fans and critics.
The show took place in Crow's own barn (complete with a stable full of horses!) and she walked through the entire tracklisting, explaining the stories behind each song. The consensus by the audience: Crow is bringing "old-school" back to country music, hearkening back to the days when country's female greats told honest stories about real -- and often difficult -- life situations.
A great example of this is her new track "Waterproof Mascara," a heart-wrenching dialogue from a single mother to her young son, trying to explain why he's being raised without a father in his life. Crow, a single mom herself, sings about wearing the waterproof makeup "because it won't run like your daddy did" (and, we think listeners will probably be wishing they're wearing waterproof mascara themselves after hearing the touching song).
Here's a live version of the song captured in the studio. Enjoy!

Why informality is suddenly OK
I am curious as to why our world became so informal so fast. Why, even in my lifetime I've seen people stop dressing for all but the most formal occasions. Why so many aspects of politeness have gone by the wayside. Why expediency almost always trumps "doing the right thing."

All roads will lead to Dubai Festival City arena on UAE National Day, as superstar Salman Khan takes to the stage in what promises to be a star-studded spectacle.
Joining him on stage will be Priyanka Chopra, a surprisingly safe choice to shake a leg with, while one-time alleged girlfriend Katrina Kaif is supposedly under discussion with a performance of her own later this month with rival Shah Rukh Khan.
A slap in the face for Salman? While critics may want to say so, the superstar is one of the few actors who had infamous affairs with his real-life ladies and has maintained a close friendship with all but one - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Emirates 24l7 flashes back to some of the actor's biggest romantic rendezvous...
Sangeeta Bijlani
Right when Salman found super stardom, he had a former beauty queen, Sangeeta Bijlani by his side.
The romance lasted a few years in the late 80s and early 90s, but things soon soured between them and the duo parted ways.
Sangeeta went on to marry former Indian cricket captain, Mohammed Azharuddin, while Salman went on to have another string of romances.
However, a few months ago, Sangeeta was spotting hanging out with Salman and his family.
Clearly, with Salman you are friends forever.
Somy Ali
Back in 1993, a 19-year-old Somy Ali flew down from the US to follow up on a crush she had on a boy called Salman Khan.
The young girl caught Salman's eye and he went out of his way to give Somy a jumpstart in her Bollywood career.
But things came to head five years later after a string of incidences reported in the media of abusive behaviour and excessive drinking on Salman's part.
In fact, the actor famously smashed a bottle on Somy's head at a party.
Yet, in a recent interview Somy only had kind things to say about her ex beau, calling out on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the reason behind their break up.

Nebraska Cooperative Extension G98-1369
This NebGuide discusses the blood disorder methemoglobinemia, its effect on infants and prevention methods..
[] [] []
Methemoglobinemia is a blood disorder caused when nitrite interacts with the hemoglobin in red blood cells. Unlike hemoglobin, the methemoglobin formed in this interaction cannot carry sufficient oxygen to the body's cells and tissues. Although methemoglobinemia is rare among adults, cases have been reported among infants, where nitrate-contaminated well water was used to prepare formula and other baby foods. Nitrate in well water may result from point sources such as sewage disposal systems and livestock facilities, from nonpoint sources such as fertilized cropland, parks, golf courses, lawns and gardens or from naturally occurring sources of nitrogen. For additional information on nitrate in well water, read NebGuide G96-1279, Drinking Water: Nitrate-Nitrogen.
Nitrate, a relatively non-toxic substance, occurs naturally as part of the nitrogen cycle. However, bacteria can convert nitrate to nitrite in the environment, in foods and in the human body.
Until infants reach about six months of age, their digestive system secretes lower amounts of gastric acid and the pH level in their digestive system is higher than most adults. Adults with a diminished capability to secrete gastric acid also can experience a rise in pH in their digestive system. In both situations, bacteria can proliferate, increasing the transformation of nitrate to nitrite.
Once in the blood, nitrite oxidizes iron in the hemoglobin of red blood cells to form methemoglobin, which lacks hemoglobin's oxygen-carrying ability. The nitrite can come from nitrate in drinking water or from food, some drugs or other sources. For additional information on hemoglobin oxidizing agents, read Extension Circular EC90-2502, Perspectives on Nitrates and consult your physician.
Although methemoglobin is continually produced in humans, an enzyme in the human body reduces methemoglobin to hemoglobin. In most individuals, methemoglobin is rapidly converted back to hemoglobin. Typically, less than 1 percent of the total circulating hemoglobin in a healthy adult is present in the form of methemoglobin. Infants, however, have a low concentration (about 60 percent of the adult concentration) of the reducing enzyme, as do some older individuals with an enzyme deficiency. In these people, methemoglobin is not converted to hemoglobin as readily.
When methemoglobin levels are elevated, the condition known as methemoglobinemia, often referred to as "blue baby syndrome", can result as the blood lacks the ability to carry sufficient oxygen to individual body cells.
Infants suffering from methemoglobinemia may seem healthy but show intermittent signs of blueness around the mouth, hands and feet. They may have episodes of breathing trouble, some diarrhea and vomiting. In some cases, an infant with methemoglobinemia has a peculiar lavender color but shows little distress. Blood samples appear chocolate brown and don't turn pink when exposed to air. When the methemoglobin level is high, infants express a marked lethargy, excessive salivation and loss of consciousness. Convulsions and death can occur at extreme methemoglobin levels.
Consult your physician for additional information on methemoglobinemia signs and symptoms or for diagnosis if methemoglobinemia is suspected. Do not attempt to self-diagnose this condition.
If the condition is identified early and is not life-threatening, a change of drinking water to water with less than 10 milligrams per liter of nitrate-nitrogen is usually the only needed treatment. This will reduce methemoglobin to hemoglobin in two to three days. Severely affected infants may be treated with an intravenously administered solution of methylene blue.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a public water supply maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 milligrams per liter (mg/l) which is equal to 10 parts per million (ppm) for nitrate-nitrogen. This level provides a margin of safety against a significant risk for human health. EPA believes water containing nitrate-nitrogen at or below this level is acceptable for daily drinking over a lifetime and does not pose a methemoglobinemia health risk for infants or adults.
Methemoglobinemia prevention is especially important for infants under six months of age, although preventative measures are also encouraged for pregnant women, women who are breast feeding and other high-risk individuals. Use water from a source containing nitrate-nitrogen at or below 10 mg/l. If the drinking water source contains nitrate-nitrogen above 10 mg/l, use bottled water or treat the water with a distiller, ion exchange unit or reverse osmosis unit to reduce the nitrate-nitrogen level. Boiling water containing nitrate-nitrogen does not reduce nitrate-nitrogen levels. In fact, boiling can concentrate nitrate-nitrogen levels in water as some water evaporates as steam.
Cases of infant methemoglobinemia have been reported in the United States. The majority of reported cases were in infants under the age of four months and who were fed milk formulas prepared with contaminated well water. A Nebraska survey of physicians reported in the Nebraska Medical Journal in 1981 indicated at least eight cases of infant methemoglobinemia were treated in Nebraska between 1973 and 1978. More recently, two infants with methemoglobinemia were identified by the South Dakota Department of Health. The private well water was found to have a nitrate-nitrogen concentration of 150 mg/l in one instance and 54 mg/l in the other. In Colorado, a case of methemoglobinemia involved an infant ingesting water containing 13.3 mg/l nitrate-nitrogen. No cases have been identified with water at or below the MCL of 10 mg/l nitrate-nitrogen.
Not only does consuming drinking water contaminated with nitrate-nitrogen above 10 mg/l have the potential to result in methemoglobinemia, but newer studies also have indicated a possible risk of cancer, as well as the potential to be a contributing factor in spontaneous abortions. For additional information on drinking water and nitrates, read NebGuide G96-1279, Drinking Water: Nitrate-Nitrogen and Extension Circular EC90-2502, Perspectives on Nitrates. This publication does not provide or substitute for professional medical advice. If you have any questions or concerns related to nitrate consumption and health effects or the condition known as methemoglobinemia consult your physician.
The methemoglobinemia hazard from drinking water with nitrate-nitrogen occurs when bacteria in the digestive system transform nitrate to nitrite and the nitrite oxidizes iron in hemoglobin of red blood cells to form methemoglobin. Methemoglobin lacks oxygen-carrying capacity and the condition known as methemoglobinemia occurs. Because infants under six months of age have a higher concentration of the digestive system bacteria known to transform nitrate to nitrite, and a lower than normal concentration of the enzyme known to reduce methemoglobin back to hemoglobin, they are at higher risk for methemoglobinemia. Consuming water from a source containing 10 or less mg/l nitrate-nitrogen provides assurance that methemoglobinemia should not result from drinking water. Consult your physician for information on methemoglobinemia or for professional diagnosis if methemoglobinemia is suspected.

" The sunglasses and service was fabulous! Thanks so much!! "
" Customer service was great when I called and the product is awesome. The glasses took about 12 days to receive, but this was the first time ordering glasses online so that timing may be average. Overall I am very happy with the experience and I will be utilizing your services again in the future. "
" Sorry for the late reply, but after 2 months I can still remember that the service experience was good. I thoroughly researched the glasses I wanted, so it was just a matter of comparing price and evaluating the service and advice I could get from different providers. Your sales force was very helpful. In fact, I am so satisfied that I am ordering another pair of the same glasses from you today (the first pair were for golf - this pair will be for driving, etc.). Thanks again. "
When your order arrives, if you don't love your prescription sunglasses or glasses you can return them for any reason within 30 days of receiving them.
We provide a one year warranty against manufacturers defects, regardless of brand.
If your glasses are damaged within the first year, we will do our best to offer you a great deal on the same glasses as a replacement. If we do not carry the same frame, we will help you get into a new style a at great price.

Agents death seen as deliberate violence
Published 6:00 pm, Monday, January 21, 2008
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff says the death of a Border Patrol agent over the weekend is an act of deliberate violence.
Chertoff says assaults against agents are rising as security tightens on the southern border of the United States. He says violent groups are pushing back. Chertoff was speaking to a small group of immigration reporters.
Senior Patrol Agent Luis Aguilar was struck by a suspected smuggler's vehicle Saturday in California as he was trying to lay down a tire deflation device to stop the car. Aguilar was identified Tuesday as a father of two children who is originally from El Paso, Texas. A Border Patrol official said Aguilar has a brother serving in the Border Patrol.
The FBI is leading an investigation of Aguilar's death.

Frankenstien's Layer Dec 18, 2012
I've stayed in some poor hostels but this one was by far the worst. It was way overpriced for what it included.
They advertise free breakfast, free wi-fi, $15 per night, and roller blades (the last one made me laugh).
I got a double room and it was a mess, clean enough but the construction of this hostel was messy. I stayed for the month of December and it was 40 degrees outside (very hot) but there was no air conditioning in the whole hostel. I can live without those things but it just didn't live up to what it advertised "breakfast" was a loaf of bread and some jam. The free wi-fi was not really free. I wasn't allowed to access it on my netbook so you had to find a time when there was a free computer (there was only 2) In general it was an ill managed hostel. One day I found the receptionist drunk/passed out on the driveway when he was supposed to be working.
I don't want to be a complainer....but I thought I should warn backpackers of the Rainbow Lodge. Backpackers get by with less (it's part of the fun) I didn't really mind but I'm sure there are hostels with better value.
I will say this, I did enjoy my time because I met some wonderful people during my stay. The people who stayed there were like a family and it was more about the comradery than the actual hostel. There are also some beautiful beaches near by and the hostel is fine if you just ned a place to sleep...don't expect anything else.

Yup, its that time again, only three and a bit weeks left of 2012. We've had some great games this year, the majority of them coming out in the last fucking month or so too.
I'll list a couple of the big hitters below, but obviously there are loads more :
- Mass Effect 3
- The Walking Dead
- Journey
- Dishonoured
- Borderlands 2
- Trials Evolution
- XCOM : Enemy Unknown
- Far Cry 3
- Halo 4
- Max Payne 3
- Assassins Creed III
- Call of Duty : Black Ops II
- NFS : Most Wanted
- Sleeping Dogs
Personally, i've played every game on that list and my vote is going to Far Cry 3. I havent even finished it yet but its the first game this year that i have genuinely struggled to stop playing once i start.
Whats your GOTY for 2012?

Journey is a very good shout.
Dishonored, Sleeping Dogs, Max Payne, and Far Cry up there too (although I'm only about an hour in to this, it is stunning). I'd feel dirty saying FIFA, although I love it.

It makes me sad that Hitman: Absolution doesn't deserve to be in that list.
I am still enjoying it, but it isn't GOTY worthy.

Diablo 3 (yes, really). It's not perfect, but that didn't keep me from playing (and enjoying it) more than any other game this year.
Closely followed by Dragon's Dogma, my suprise hit of the year.
I refuse to partake in this silliness.
P.S. Transport Tycoon is a good shout.

This is harder than you'd think.
Xcom is fantastic to play and I love the fact that it exists.
Sleeping Dogs was awesome, I loved it all the way through.
Sonic All Stars Transformed is taking up quite a bit of my gaming time at the moment because it is just a joy to play.
Trials evo is also on my list, because, you know... Trials.

Hard choice, been a great year. Far Cry 3, Max Payne 3 and Sleeping Dogs were all very good, and I should probably mention Xen Pinball 2 on the Vita for time spent playing, but end of the day I'm going with Mass Effect 3. I know the end was a bit naff, for me the game ended with 2 mates on a Spaceship, but up till then I loved it. Only thing that disappointed me otherwise was not enough of Miranda's arse, but it's rare that you can have a game carry through like that through 3 seperate entities and still be so coherent. Not a lot of true trilogys where choices you made in the first part carrys through. And I loved the depressingness of it all, and the brave choice to have such a grim ending. It's probably the last grasp of a once great developer.

X-Com for me, out of those that I've played.
Dishonoured will probably take the second slot
I really must give Far Cry a spin one of these days.

Sleeping Dogs or Mass Effect 3. Just started playing FC 3 so that might change.
Special mention for Rocksmith, but that is more of a Guitar tool than game, but still it is fookin great.
The most fun I have had with gaming this year, is the same as last year, Horde mode in Gears 2 and Gears 3.

With some games you just "know" you're playing something that ticks all the boxes for your play style and what you really like in a gaming experience.
Whilst it's early days, it has to be Far Cry 3 for me - haven't played a game that made me want to keep going into the wee hours for bloody ages.
Notable second place goes to Borderlands 2, great fun.

Mass Effect 3 for me too. As a huge Babylon 5 fan, for me the trilogy was essentially a playable, darker, version of that series. And the ending provoked lots of discussion which you don't normally get with a game.
FWIW i loved the ending, the whole series was great sci fi for me. I really felt i got to know all the characters and had my favourites, and enjoyed the mini stories and shooting dynamics.

Journey, ZombiU and Xcom in the mix so far. Likely to be Xcom, unless Far Cry 3 on Xmas day can provide a challenge.

It's cheating a bit but Dark Souls PTD edition!
I think so anyway, as I'll receive it at Christmas, but just the base game deserves two GOTY in a row from me...
Otherwise I honestly can't remember a game that blew me away this year...Mainly because I can't remember the releases...

List is lacking two of my own top 5 - namely FEZ and Spec Ops The Line.
The other places on my top 5 are for The Walking Dead, Borderlands 2 and Halo 4.

Borderlands 2 for me although I'm yet to play through Dishonoured, Sleeping Dogs and Far Cry 3, all of which sound like strong contenders.

State College Splits With Pirates, Signs Two Year Deal With Cardinals
Prior to the season we heard word that the State College Spikes weren't satisfied as a Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate, and were considering looking for a new organization after the 2012 season when the deal expired between the two teams. According to Rob Biertempfel, the Spikes have signed a two year deal with St. Louis, making them a Cardinals affiliate. Earlier today, Biertempfel mentioned that the Pirates broke off talks with State College, and that they could sign with Jamestown or Batavia.
When the news first came out at the start of the season, there was talk that the Pirates could go a temporary location, and eventually move the team to Morgantown. That set up would be more convenient for the transactions between the two low-A affiliates, as Morgantown is less than three hours away...

Extra-Loud TV Commercials Officially Banned by FCC
- By
- 24 Comments
Watching TV has been a chore in recent years – and not just because of all the bad programming (Zing!). You've noticed it: you're watching a show at what seems like a reasonable volume when all of a sudden, a commercial comes blaring in across your speakers. From there it's a mad scramble for the remote, to bring relative peace and quiet back to your abode.
Well, after living under the tyranny of TV ads that can literally shout their sales pitch into your ear, we celebrate a day of liberation: TV advertisers are no longer allowed to bombard us with "extra-loud" commercials.
The ban went into effect at midnight, as part of new mandates handed down by the Federal Communications Commission, which adopted the new rule a year ago. The long-short of it is that commercials must now (gasp!) maintain the same relative volume as the programs they air during – though, there is plenty of wiggle room within that mandate that I'm sure will be exploited. Certain shows are pretty loud and obnoxious (Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club) so it could be argued their advertisements can be too. And what the exact definition of "relative volume" is, is anybody's guess…
The FCC wants help enforcing the ruling from its on-the-street snitches (read: you): If you still encounter TV commercials that are assaulting your eardrums, you can call a number to report that advertiser (1-888-TELL-FCC). So, if there is a particular commercial that has really been trying your patience, now could be the time to drop a dime in revenge…
Hopefully, we are entering a new era of TV viewing in which our eardrums are safe. The only question now is: what trick will the advertising world next invent to keep commercials all up in your face?

Gov. Rod Blagojevich has been arrested on charges of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat. Federal wiretaps suggest that Gov. Rod thought the seat would bring a pretty penny. The FBI eavesdropping device also indicates that Rod and the First Lady of the Land of Lincoln are a couple of potty mouths.
The Chicago press has plainly set out to pillory Gov. and Mrs. Blagojevich. I don't believe I have ever seen such an uncouth and ill-mannered mob of reporters. They'll say and ask just about anything, usually at the top of their voices. There's not a lady or gentleman among them.
A new wrinkle in the Illinois story breaks almost daily. Aren't you glad that you don't live in that state and would have to put up with such embarrassing stuff?
Federal prosecutors in Chicago and Springfield ought to be ashamed of themselves. Can you imagine a Georgia governor being collared for trying to sell one of his appointments?
I can't. I don't believe it has ever happened. Come to think of it, selling a state job may not even be against the law in Georgia. Perhaps that is reason that no Peach State prosecutor would dare pursue such a case.
Back in the old days (meaning before my time), a couple of governors (Talmadge and Rivers) were accused of selling prison pardons, but it was just politics. Besides there's a big difference in selling a pardon for a few thousand dollars and offering a Senate seat to the highest bidder. I have never heard of such a thing in Georgia.
Wait. I'm mistaken. I have heard of such a thing.
Back in 1971, when Sen. Richard Russell died, there was talk that then-Gov. Jimmy Carter could sell the appointment of Russell's successor. There was little doubt that Carter needed the money to pay off his gubernatorial campaign debts.
Nothing ever came of the story. Carter handed the Senate appointment over to David Gambrell, an Atlanta lawyer who had been the finance chairman of Carter's successful bid for governor against ex-Gov. Carl Sanders. As it turned out, Gambrell, a plenty smart guy, just wasn't meant to be a politician. A backbench legislator, Sam Nunn, beat him in the next election.
No one, except perhaps a couple of Carter's enemies, ever mentioned that the guv could have traded the Russell chair for gold. Such things just weren't done in Georgia. At least that is what the state's leading lights (all good Democrats) assured us.
No one ever accused Gov. Roy Barnes of trying to sell the Senate seat vacated by the death of Sen. Paul Coverdell in 1998. If the notion of selling the seat even entered his mind, he never would have sold it to former Gov. Zell Miller, who, according to some, went crazy after Barnes gave him the Washington job. Miller won the Senate election of 2000, and got even crazier. But that is another story.
Of course, the talk of selling public offices is not restricted to the U.S. Senate. During Barnes' term as governor, some disgruntled job applicants said the governor favored applicants for judicial posts who had contributed cash to his campaign. However, that is not the same thing as selling an appointment, is it?
In fact, most of Barnes' predecessors as governor appointed their financial supporters to judgeships. After all, nobody but a nut would put one's political enemies on the bench.
It has even been said that the exchange of cash figures prominently in the selection of the Georgia speaker of the House. That must be a joke. Rep. Glenn "Romeo" Richardson would never entertain such a notion.
Yes, it is true that Richardson solicits some of his leading allies for campaign cash to go into a special kitty to help out some Republican legislators who have attracted opposition.
After Richardson parcels out the cash to needy colleagues, he expects their support in his bid to remain speaker. House committee chairmen are always cheerful about chipping into the speaker's pot. Romeo is not a maverick in the cash department. He is simply carrying on an established tradition. The money practices of the House leadership also explain why several leading lawmakers roll their eyes when anyone mentions ethics.
In any case, when you observe the shenanigans in Illinois, it makes you proud to be a Georgian, where publicity-hound prosecutors are rare and rude and ruthless reporters are unheard of.

AbstractHexapod walking robots have attracted considerable attention for several decades. Many studies have been carried out in research centers, universities and industries. However, only in the recent past have efficient walking machines been conceived, designed and built with performances that can be suitable for practical applications. This paper gives an overview of the state of the art on hexapod walking robots by referring both to the early design solutions and the most recent achievements. Careful attention is given to the main design issues and constraints that influence the technical feasibility and operation performance. A design procedure is outlined in order to systematically design a hexapod walking robot. In particular, the proposed design procedure takes into account the main features, such as mechanical structure and leg configuration, actuating and driving systems, payload, motion conditions, and walking gait. A case study is described in order to show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed design procedure. View Full-Text

His search takes him outside the safety of the colony, where people are living very different kinds of lives: Religious robots who worship a mind-control stone they call Bethikabox; The Sports League whose only sport is hunting humans; Dr Grobe, who creates thoughts and feelings that exist outside the human brain.
Paul finds allies in the Psych Kids, drug-dealing freaks who help him in his search and seek to open up his heart. But the truth about Fiona's disappearance challenges his conceptions, old and new. Inside Egyptian-style ruins he discovers magic and puzzles, secrets about the history of our species, and terrifying implications about the universe itself.

The head of NASA has commented on the rumors about aliens on a U.S. military base
Answering the question of ten girls, is there life on other planets, the U.S. space Agency NASA Charles Bolden announced that he appreciated the probability of the existence of inhabited celestial bodies away from Earth. While Bolden assured that on our planet the aliens had not yet arrived, and that evidence of such visits is stored on an American military base "Area 51" is nothing more than a rumor.

"I really believe that one day we will find new forms of life beyond Earth, if not in the Solar system, in any other of the billions of solar systems in the Universe," — said the head of NASA. However, according to him, no concrete evidence that aliens exist, or even more so, ready or tried to join with humans into contact, does not exist, reports The Express.
In particular, according to Charles Bolden, on a base called "Area 51" it is during a personal visit saw no debris flying saucers or aliens, or their bodies. the Head of NASA assured that this database is "normal" research, and no evidence of extraterrestrial life during the time her work was found.
Area 51 is located in the desert on the territory of the state of Nevada in the United States. For a long time were kept in a secret the very existence of this base, and only in the summer of 2013 was not declassified some information about it. Since then, as it became known Area 51 was so surrounded by a variety of conspiracy theories in mass culture has become a symbol of government secrets in General. In particular, many proponents of conspiracy theories believe that secretly stored the fragments of space ships, aliens, and the aliens (for the most daring versions, even alive) experiments. Such information has never been official confirmation, however, anyone who denied it, the rumor was recorded in "participants in the conspiracy." As suggested in The Express, as well lovers of conspiracy theories would respond to the statement of Charles Bolden.
By the way, recently in an interview with "Moskovsky Komsomolets" NASA astronaut Tom Jones expressed approximately the same position, and later the head of Department. Jones is inclined to believe that somewhere in the Universe there could be not only other life forms, but entire alien civilization. However, in stories about aliens, the astronaut urged not to believe in stories about aliens though, because "personal" visit to a distant planet would be too technically difficult and time-consuming.Related posts:

Kenya Shilling Gains 1st Day in 4 on Dollar Inflows From Tea
Kenya's shilling strengthened for the first time in four days after dollar inflows from tea sales and as investors awaited the outcome of a challenge to this month's presidential election.
The currency of East Africa's biggest economy gained as much as 0.2 percent to 85.55 per dollar and traded at 85.65 by 1 p.m. in the capital, Nairobi.
Kenya, the world's biggest exporter of black tea, holds its weekly auction of tea at the sea port of Mombasa on Tuesdays. Outgoing Prime Minister Raila Odinga, whose dispute of the 2007 election triggered ethnic clashes that left more than 1,100 people dead, filed a petition on March 16, challenging the election of Uhuru Kenyatta as president during the March 4 elections. The nation's highest court has 14 days to rule.
"The shilling has received support from inflows of dollars from the sale of tea," John Muli, a dealer at Nairobi-based African Banking Corp., said by phone. "There is subdued demand for dollars as the market adopts a wait and see attitude following the filling of the case challenging the presidential elections."
The court challenge is still a concern for the market and the shilling is likely to trade within a range of 85.60 to 86.20 per dollar today, Nairobi-based NIC Bank Ltd. said in a note to clients.
The shilling rose 0.9 percent from the March 4 vote to March 13, when demand for dollars picked up after business resumed. Since then, the currency has slipped 0.5 percent.
The Central Bank of Kenya offered 10 billion shillings ($116 million) in seven-day repurchase agreements, an official who asked not to be identified in line with policy said by phone today. The bank uses the repos to reduce money supply and support the shilling.
Uganda's currency weakened for the second day, dropping less than 0.1 percent to 2,634.63 per dollar, while the Tanzanian shilling depreciated 0.3 percent to 1,628.35 per dollar.

Linacre Reservoirs
Reservoir, free entry
Carsington Visitor Centre
01629 540696
Woodnook Lane,
There are 3 reservoirs at Linacre, built between 1855 and 1904 and, between them, they hold more than 240 million gallons of water. The reservoirs are surrounded by fields and bluebell woods.
There are several trails around the Reservoirs. The paths are well edged and you can make up any length of walk you like. Part of the trail around the Upper Reservoir crosses the water on a boardwalk - parents with children should take care as it has no railing.
In spring, the woods around the Reservoirs are carpeted with bluebells and they were, at one time, coppiced - information boards explain how coppicing worked. You can find many oak trees, along with beech, alder (which likes to keep its feet wet), larch and pine. Conifers are often planted next to reservoirs for two reasons. They keep away farm animals which might pollute the water and, after a few years, they can be sold for timber.
Parking fees apply.

I have the same dilemma! I'm less worried about headcount numbers than I am about people booking.

I also toyed with the idea of sending out packets of information, but am now thinking that all that information is available on the website...

We are getting married in the middle of March and plan on sending our invites out next weekend!! I have been sooooo busy that I have not even had a chance to think about it. We sent out our STD's back in Oct, so everyone knows about it. Although at that time we had a ton of people say they were going to go...but have yet to see all of them book. I know money is tight, and some are waiting for tax return time. :-)

Detection of dark matter particles?
Reports indicate that an experiment buried deep beneath the forests of Minnesota in the US has seen two events that could be the first direct detection of dark matter.
London: Reports indicate that an experiment buried deep beneath the forests of Minnesota in the US has seen two events that could be the first direct detection of dark matter.
According to a report in Nature News, the project is called the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search II (CDMSII) experiment.
If the detection of dark matter is confirmed, it will mark the end of a decades-long search for the mysterious particles.
Observations by Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky in the 1930s gave the first hints of the existence of dark matter.
Since then, studies of the Universe`s structure, and of the way galaxies rotate, have confirmed that there must be an unseen form of matter shaping the cosmos.
This dark matter is believed to make up as much as 85 percent of all the material in the Universe, although its identity is unknown.
The two events, seen by CDMSII in 2007, are the signatures of the most likely form of dark matter, known as weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).
Each particle could be as massive as an entire atom, yet reveal itself only rarely by interacting with conventional matter.
The possible WIMPs were caught in the experiment`s crystals of germanium and silicon, which are chilled to nearly absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius).
When a WIMP strikes one of the crystals, it should trigger vibrations that raise the temperature of the detector very slightly; it should also create a small charge on the crystal`s surface.
Comparing the size and timing of the two signals can help to determine whether or not they were caused by WIMPs.
CDMSII scientists are remaining tight-lipped about the results until they are peer-reviewed.
But, in a series of talks delivered over the next few days in the US and Europe, they are expected to announce that their WIMP candidates have a mass of 30-60 gigaelectronvolts - roughly 30-60 times that of a single proton.
From their analysis, they believe that there is a 75 percent chance that both events are WIMPs, and a 25 percent chance that they might both be false-positives caused by stray radiation.

Professor Kenneth Kovach Dies
Posted: January 21, 2004 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Kenneth Kovach, professor of management in the School of Management, died on Friday, Jan. 16. He was 57.
Kovach came to George Mason in 1976 and served in key leadership roles, including most recently as area coordinator for management. "Ken was a leader in the School of Management and will be deeply missed by students and colleagues. His depth of expertise and commitment to teaching were reflected by the loyal following of students and alumni who kept in close contact with him. We are both shocked and saddened by his passing," says Richard Klimoski, dean of the School of Management.
Kenneth Kovach
Kovach, a familiar face to students and the community, most recently taught two televised courses in human resource management and industrial relations on GMU-TV. GMU-TV honored his memory with a moment of on-air silence at 10:30 a.m. yesterday morning, the time slot in which his course was televised for many years.
"Dr. Kovach was able to engage his students with humor, personal life stories, his expertise and special brand of humanity. His legend loomed large when I chose his class. I have counted him as one of those professors I fondly remember and who I enthusiastically have recommended to others," says Stacey Remick-Simkins, chair of the Staff Senate.
Kovach's scholarship addressed a host of issues in labor relations and human resource management. His most recent work included articles on genetic testing in the workplace, baseball labor relations, employee privacy, and human resource information systems. He published eight books, including Strategic Labor Relations and Strategic Human Resource Management. Kovach was an active consultant in the areas of human resource management and industrial relations to both regional and national firms, with clients ranging from the National Hockey League Players Association to Goodwill Industries.
Over the years, Kovach received numerous awards for teaching, including the George Mason University Alumni Association's Faculty Member of the Year Award, George Mason's Distinguished Faculty Member and Teaching Excellence Awards, and the Faculty Award for Outstanding Contributions from Phi Kappa Phi National Honor Society.
A funeral service for Kovach was held yesterday. Plans for a memorial service on campus are under way.

Take your pick
While we're writing up the Oregon ballot measures two by two, the most obvious pairing is Measures 57 and 61 -- the dueling "tough-on-crime" measures. Both will require tens of millions to be invested in building more prisons, and that's enough to turn some folks off on both measures. But even the ACLU types may hesitate before voting no on both, because there's some adolescent game-playing built into these measures that may make even the bleedingest of bleeding-heart liberals hold their noses and vote yes on one of them.
First, let's get the players identified on the scorecard. Measure 57 is the Legislature's tough-on-crime measure. Measure 61 is the right-wing initiative machine's super-duper-tough-on-crime measure. Measure 57 increases sentences for some categories of drug and property crimes, but it still leaves plenty of room for probation, treatment, yada yada, and the tweaker's likely to be back in your yard a few hours after the cops hauled him out of there the first time. Kind of like now.
Measure 61, on the other hand, don't need no steekeen' treatment or probation. It locks people up and throws away the key for crimes like first-offense burglary, and it's going to cost a gajillion dollars to implement. Moreover, as we build more and more warehouses for human beings, the chances for rehabilitating people with drug problems go from slim to barely perceptible. I'm as frustrated as anyone with the longstanding, disgraceful failure of the local criminal justice and social service systems to deal adequately with drug addiction and property crime, but some of the sentences Measure 61 imposes seem a bit harsh.
Whatever your druthers on these two may be, Oregonians have to shake (or hang) their heads at the way law is made in these parts. Here we have another case of the hard-core conservative folks shaming the Legislature into doing something that it should have done on its own in the first place. The politicians in Salem no doubt saw that Measure 61 stood a good chance of passing, and so they suddenly took an interest in crafting a measure that would take fewer and much smaller steps in the same general direction. The clear hope in Salem is that kinder, gentler Measure 57 will cancel out mean, old Measure 61.
And here is where the pitiful gamesmanship comes in. If both measures pass, the one with the highest vote total in favor wins, and the other one has no effect. And so if you think both measures are a bad idea, you may want to think twice about voting no on the wimpier Measure 57, which to you would likely be the lesser of two evils.
Having lived in Oregon for more than 30 years now, I have become weary of our state's screwy initiative process. Some years, it seems like an enormous waste of time and money. Directly competing ballot measures that require hours of strategic thinking before voting disgust me. But if activist segments of the citizenry use the initiative process to force the Legislature to do the will of the people, I guess it can't be all bad.

Finding the Right Lens: 1in6 Thursdays on the Joyful Heart Foundation Blog
Have you ever thought about creating a program for a population you're not sure how to reach? My first job right out of business school was as a violence-prevention educator. You may be wondering how business school prepared me for victim advocacy and prevention education. Well, it didn't. I wasn't taught evidence-based theory of how to prevent violence or respond to victims of sexual abuse.
What I did have was volunteer experience in peer counseling, various community-support initiatives and many years of for-profit management experience. I knew how to create a strategic plan and manage a team. In my new role as prevention coordinator, I was a team of one with a single "Rape Risk Reduction" (that's what they used to call prevention programs back in the day) powerpoint provided by the Florida Department of Health.
Essentially, I was up a creek with a desperate need of many, many paddles. Or in this case, presentations that would hold the attention span of 11-year olds as well as adults. (Side-note: adults are the most interesting population to teach, high-schoolers do the most eye rolling, and sixth graders say the darnedest things!)
Even if you're not a new program coordinator, you might imagine that engaging and educating an entire community seems like a monumental task. Often, you are asked to do so much with little experience and almost no budget. Daunting? Absolutely! Impossible, nah.
The good news is we can use the tools we do have and take advantage of existing networks. I knew that I needed to read all the research I could get my hands on, and make use of the knowledge of dozens of other prevention educators funded by the state of Florida. Six years later, I ended up with countless presentations and more teaching requests than one can shake the proverbial stick at.
Fast forward to my work with 1in6 and the 1 in 6 Men On Campus National Task Force.
With a recent upswing in awareness and military and campus funding for male inclusive resources, more programs are asked to address the issues facing men that have experienced sexual abuse. If you've been trying to figure out how to engage male survivors, you may feel at a loss about your capacity to help. Or you may wonder why existing programs to help men in your community don't get the level of response from the men whom statistics suggest might benefit.
You're not alone. A lot of my time is spent assisting others in their efforts to create awareness programs and develop services specific to men. Your hunch that you may need different language, messaging and branding isn't off point. Although there are many similarities in the way men and women respond to histories of abuse, socialization plays a large role in our expectation of ourselves and those charged with the task to help us heal.
I learned early on that I needed to look through the lens of the student or audience in preparing my classes. How will they experience me, and then secondly the content? Most importantly, what are my expectations of my audience? Am I aware of their culture, needs, and challenges? We have a lot to discuss when it comes to reaching out to male identified survivors of sexual abuse. We also have a lot to learn. Luckily, we have some data and an emerging population of socially justice minded generations who place equal value on the experience of all survivors. Jim Hopper, David Lisak, Lara Stemple and Ilan Meyer, and others provide us with valuable research on this subject. Consider reviewing their studies and apply it to your work with men.
When it comes to outreach and engagement, I urge you to reach out to your community of professionals in this field. Work with them to establish programming using the same trauma-informed principles and compassion for all survivors, wherever they are on the cycle of abuse. Men are waiting for a safe space, together we can provide it.
