When many Westerners dream about their bucket lists, they think about gazing at the splendor of the Taj Mahal. For me, it was meditating under the Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, India. While the idea of sitting under a humble tree might not stir the imagination of every traveler, the temples and grounds that surround it are just as spectacular as the Taj in my opinion.
Although Buddhism's allure is growing in the U.S., it is still a mystery to some. But for the savvy traveler, a trip to the holy pilgrimage sites is necessary to understanding the rich cultural and religious history in the rural areas surrounding Varanasi, India.
Seeking the TruthBuddhism is the third-largest religion after Christianity and Islam with more than 300 million followers estimated worldwide. The religion originated approximately 2,500 years ago when an Indian prince — Siddhartha Gautama, who was raised apart from the hardships of the human condition — decided to give up all the comforts of his palace and birthright to seek truth.
At age 29, Siddhartha Gautama hit the road and became a religious sage exploring the different teachings, religions and philosophies of his day. In his search, he was able to find the key to human happiness. It required a six-year journey of study and meditation before he finally found "the middle path" and earned the title of Buddha, or Enlightened One. The site of this very important experience is the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, located about 150 miles from Varanasi. From there, Buddha journeyed on and began teaching. The site of his first lectures was a deer park in Sarnath, where the religion formally began. Buddha spent the rest of his life teaching the principles of Buddhism — called the Dhamma — until his death at the age of 80.
The Mahabodhi TempleWhen Siddhartha Gautama first sat under the Bodhi tree, he vowed not to leave his meditation until he attained enlightenment. From the site of that humble tree has sprung a gorgeous complex including a temple, stupas and six holy sites. The Mahabodhi Temple translates to "Great Awakening Temple." It was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002 and, last year, it made its way into Time magazine's list of The Most Influential Places in History.
Nuns, monks and lay people from all over the world travel there to sit in deep meditation. Finding their way past the hustle and bustle of vendors of the small town of Bihar, it feels as if you have walked onto the set of an Indiana Jones movie. Lit against the black night sky, a massive carved tower is the focal point of the complex and, around it, a labyrinth weaves its paths through the holy grounds. The first thing visitors find is that the complex is very much a living site. Active chanting and worship are practiced among the relics and historical grounds.
Visiting the temple complex is best done at night when visitors can comfortably walk around barefoot on the stone-covered grounds. Taking in the choruses of chanting monks, I admired the intricately carved stone tower and made my way to the western side of the complex, where the holy Bodhi tree sits. Sitting cross-legged, I took in the sounds of the birds and the monks and wondered what it was like here more than two and half millennia ago.
Sadly, this peaceful spot was rocked on July 7, 2013, when 10 low-intensity bombs exploded in the temple complex, injuring five people. Fortunately, no one was killed and the grounds were not harmed. As a precaution against future terrorist attacks, security has been ramped up and the Central Industrial Reserve Force is now guarding the site.
Sarnath Deer ParkSarnath is about six miles from the busy city of Varanasi; it is also the second-most famous site for Buddhist pilgrims. Buddha began his teaching in the deer park, where several impressive monuments were built in honor of the event.
The Dhamek Stupa complex looks a lot like an open archeological site. The massive carved stupa marks the part of the deer park where Buddha's first sermon was delivered. The structure was built in 500 B.C. to enshrine small pieces of bone and other relics of the Buddha and his disciples. For good luck, walk clockwise around the massive pillar and gaze up at the intercut writing and figures carved into the stone.
Afterward, stroll over to the Sarnath Archeological Museum. This small museum houses a collection of antiquities — ranging from the 3rd century B.C. to the 12th century A.D. — which were found around the area. Significant works include the Lion Capital of Asoka, adopted as the Emblem of India in 1950 and printed on the national tricolor flag. In the museum's five galleries, visitors can gaze at an awe-inspiring collection of Buddhist artifacts. The hallmark of these is a sculpture of the Buddha from the 5th century sitting cross-legged, with eyes downcast in deep meditation, and a halo around his head.
After visiting the museum, visitors can easily walk to the Mulagandhakuti Vihara Temple, a prime place for worship for the Buddhist community. This modern temple was built in 1931 by the Mahabodhi Society from Sri Lanka. Impressive murals by the Japanese artist Kosetsu Nosu cover the inside wall. I stopped in just to see the paintings and instead received a protection blessing and a simple orange string bracelet from a monk. A sapling from the original Bodh Gaya Bodhi still grows on the grounds, and one of the parks still attracts deer.
A destination as rich and culturally diverse as India can be experienced in a multitude of ways, and making a point to visit these two sites, with their beautiful architecture, rich history and present-day practices, gives visitors a truly enlightened experience.

On Feb.15, 2013, a CAT scan revealed that my wife (Mary) had "lymphoma" which a biopsy later revealed to be collecting duct carcinoma that had completely enveloped the left kidney and encircled the aorta adjacent to the kidney. The left kidney was removed, but some of the cancer surrounding the aorta could not be removed.She started chemo on March 8--the drugs are gemcitabine and carboplatin.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who is taking these drugs (or others) for CDC.

For the Rev. John Skirtich, the revelatory moment came on a Sunday morning late last fall. He had just concluded mass at St. Maurice Roman Catholic Church in Forest Hills, a tree-lined, middle-class suburb of Pittsburgh. One of his parishioners, an elderly woman, met him at the door, carrying a copy of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown's phenomenally successful cloak-and-dagger novel, and she was visibly distraught.
"Father John," she said. "It says in here that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married and had a child together. Is that true?" The priest was startled by the question, coming from a lifelong Catholic and a pillar of the parish.
Can ya see why I emphasized certain words? Are people really this dumb? Can a novel or movie really affect a life of belief?
A mediocre book has become a blockbuster because people are so gullible. What century is this?

The minimum annual rent of $4 million is $1.4 million greater than what MSG was proposing, said Mangano, and the $195 minimum rent throughout the 34-year lease was more than $80 million than what the county would accrue from MSG, according to the county's financial adviser, Public Financial Management.
In making its decision, Mangano said his RFP committee studied the two companies' programming, financing and marketing abilities, as well as their past performance, and determined they were "neck and neck." The decision he said, then "turned to the economic benefit for the county."
Representatives from Forest City Ratner will join county officials outside the Coliseum on Friday afternoon for a second press conference, at which Mangano said a more specific construction timeline would be revealed.
Bruce Ratner, executive chairman of Forest City Ratner, said he would commit $229 million to his proposed renovations, which would reduce seating in the arena to 13,000 and add an outdoor amphitheater, a movie theater, a bowling alley, a House of Blues or a Filmore Theater, and retail space. The project would take an estimated 15 months.
Ratner's proposal would bring the New York Islanders to the arena for six games per year, and it would also host Nets practices, boxing, lacrosse, arena football, college basketball and minor league hockey.
Representatives from Forest City Ratner could not be immediately reached for comment.
Mangano said he called both Bruce Ratner and MSG president Hank Ratner — who is of no relation to Bruce — 10 minutes before Thursday's press conference to inform them of his decision. "I thanked them for their commitment to Nassau County," Mangano said.

Vascular Plants of Wisconsin
syriaca L.
common milkweed
Family: Asclepiadaceae
native: yes
type: herbaceous perennial
Asclepias syriaca is an herbaceous perennial with
broad, simple, entire, opposite leaves and a white, sticky
sap that is the source of the common name, "milkweed".
The flowers are very unusual and easily recognized. Sepals
and petals are reflexed and the upper portion of the flower
is derived from fusion and modification of the stamens and
carpels. The filaments of the anthers are adnate (fused
to one another) to form the showy "corona", including
5 "hoods" each with a "horn". The lower
portion of the filaments are adnate to form a tube around
the 2 carpels, one of which is mostly hidden behind the
other in this view. The obvious carpel has been dissected
to expose the interior and a close look at flower photo
2 will reveal numerous ovules within. The two carpels are
separate at the base, but are joined at the stigma.
The anthers are also fused together and to the 2 stigmas
to form a structure known as the "gynostegium"
(see flower photo 2 above). Note the "stigmatic slit"
on the first flower photo. The pollinating insect must pass
through this opening (at least in part) to get to the inner
area of the gynostegium to reach the nectar and to pollinate
the flowers. Usually only one of the carpels will mature
to produce the familiar "follicle" or milkweed
"pod" that contains numerous seeds, each with
a tuft of hairs to aid in wind dispersal.
Although the scientific name suggests origination in Syria,
Asclepias syriaca is a native species. It is found throughout
the eastern United States, west to Texas in the south and
Montana and Oregon in the west. It grows throughout Wisconsin
on sunny, disturbed sites.

If things are too quiet, try asking a couple of friends whether "a couple" should always mean "two". As with the question of how many spaces should go after a period, it can turn acrimonious surprisingly fast unless all three of them agree.
I know exactly what Randall is attempting to do here. This is nerd troll bait. He is attempting to "troll" or get a certain group of people fired up by taking an unpopular side of the argument just to get the other person angry. And I'm taking the bait.
I disagree on "A Handful" and "Several". A Handful should be about 4 to 7 and several should be 6 to 8, averaging about 7, which sounds just like several. The other two are within the range that makes sense to me. Also, check out how he sneaks "a couple of friends" and "all three of them" into the image text very sneakily.

For years your doctor, your mom and your friend who goes to the gym multiple times a week have probably been telling you to eat better and exercise more. It's all you hear on television, in the newspapers and on talk radio. New doctors and dieticians usher in new diets, new fads, and so you've made some lifestyle changes – cutting back on your fat and sweets intake, and doing some cardiovascular exercise a few days a week. Despite all this, you still feel burned out, can't drop those extra pounds, and don't have the energy to greet each day with enthusiasm. What are you missing?
Though the exact mechanisms of how sleep works, how sleep rejuvenates the body and mind is still mysterious, one thing sleep specialists and scientists do know is that adequate sleep is necessary for healthy functioning. Research shows that all mammals need sleep, and that sleep regulates mood and is related to learning and memory functions. Not only will getting your zzzs help you perform on a test, learn a new skill or help you stay on task, but it may also be a critical factor in your health, weight and energy level.
An estimated 18 million Americans have sleep apnea, a sleep-related breathing disorder that leads individuals to repeatedly stop breathing during sleep. Not only does sleep apnea seriously affect one's quality of sleep, but it can also lead to health risks such as stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure and excessive daytime sleepiness. Sleep apnea is often associated with people who are overweight – weight gain leads to compromised respiratory function when an individual's trunk and neck area increase from weight gain. These interacting problems of weight gain and sleep apnea make it difficult to help oneself off the slippery slope of health problems. From a behavioral perspective, those suffering from sleep apnea may be less motivated to diet or exercise – daytime sleepiness lowers their energy levels and makes it difficult to commit to an exercise and/or diet program

President Obama may not have won either Wayne or Pike county, but he would surely appreciate the fact that one precinct in Wayne favored him: Hawley Borough. There were 211 votes in Hawley cast for Mitt Romney and 245 for Barack Obama. In fact, Democratic candidates prevailed across the slate in Hawley except for the race for 10th Congressional District where Congressman Tom Marino beat Democrat Phil Scollo. The turnout was 60.7% in Hawley. "It shows we have a nice balance," commented Peg Murphy, Democratic Committee Chairwoman for Hawley and a long-time advocate for the Democratic Party as well as Hawley supporter. She was at the polls for muchh of the day as an observer, and said she was very pleased to see the enthusiasm among the voters and especially the amount of young people participating. Murphy remarked that Hawley is rather unique where politics is not lop-sided. Both sides, she said, can have winners in Hawley and voters decide who is the best person overall. "When one is in majority, power goes to their head," Murphy added. "There can be more compromise where there's a balance." In Pike County, Obama received the most votes in Lehman Twp.-1, Lehman Twp.-2, Matamoras-1 and Milford Borough. County-wide, Obama had 38% of the vote in Wayne and 43.9% in Pike. Republican Mitt Romney prevailed with 59% in Wayne and 54.8% in Pike. In 2008, the split between McCain (Republican) and Obama (Democrat) was 55.6%/43.3% in Wayne and 51.5%/47.3% in Pike. Obama did better in Wayne this time around (by 5.3%) but worse in Pike (by 3.4%). That Romney won locally offered no surprise, given that both counties have been Republican strongholds for decades. The last Democratic to win the presidential race in Wayne County was Woodrow Wilson in 1912. In Pike County, Lyndon Johnson was the last Democrat to succeed here, in the 1964 presidential bid.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seeded No. 5 in the North East Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) Championship Tournament, MIT swept No. 12 Stevenson University (25-18, 25-17, 25-19) but lost to No. 4 Philadelphia Biblical University (17-25, 19-25, 26-24, 25-17, 15-6).

KEENE, N.H. – Junior Laura Wacker (Brooklyn, N.Y.) found the back of the net with 1:22 remaining in regulation but Keene State College won the ensuing draw and ran out the clock en route to a 9-8 non-conference women's lacrosse win on Thursday afternoon. Wacker finished with a game-high three goals as senior Katie Kauffman (Olney, Md.) and junior Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) both registered two goals and one assist.
The Owls tallied three goals in a three-minute span to start the game. MIT replied with its own three-goal spurt which was sparked by a Kauffman free-position shot. McShane followed with an unassisted marker and then Kauffman converted a feed from freshman Emma Kane (Garden City, N.Y.) for the equalizer. Keene State countered with three more goals which put it ahead, 6-3, at the intermission.
The Engineers quickly narrowed the gap in the second half, tallying back-to-back goals in the first 1:04. Junior Meghan Wright (Devon, Pa.) buried a free-position shot as McShane added another unassisted goal. The Owls matched MIT's efforts, increasing their cushion to 8-5 at the 19:52 mark. Kauffman won the ensuing draw and found Wacker for her first of two goals, the second coming on a free-position attempt midway through the frame.
Keene State recorded what proved to be the game-winning goal with 11:33 left to play. During the next 10 minutes junior goalie Sarah Ritter (The Woodlands, Texas) came up with two saves to keep the Engineers in the hunt meanwhile McShane picked up a turnover and sprinted downfield where she found Wacker for the last goal of the game.
In addition to her game-high scoring performance, Wacker picked up three draw controls. Kauffman tacked on three draw controls and a caused turnover while McShane totaled three groundballs and three draw controls. Senior Shannon Moran (Grand Rapids, Mich.) contributed two groundballs as Ritter collected 12 saves.
MIT (2-11) concludes its four-game road trip at NEWMAC foe Springfield College on Saturday, April 14.

Bryan Colangelo has decided to step down but in true MLSE Fashion he still will be a consultant. The timing on the eve of the NBA draft is somewhat interesting. Does B.C have serious issues with plan Masai Ujiri has for the future. I doubt will ever know. This might be the clearest sign we have that the Raptors might be going into full reconstruction mode. It is all just speculation at this point.
Here is what B.C had to say in a press release from the Raptors.
Colangelo: "Having
had a better chance to reflect on things for the past several weeks, I
have concluded that stepping away from my position is the best course
of action for the organization and everyone involved."
The only question I have is why bother with this consultant nonsense. We saw the same situation with Brian Burke and the Leafs. Enough already with this nonsense, let's get on with it. This makes the whole comedy of how this all would workout by both Tim Leiweke and Masai Ujiri seem laughable.
Ask anyone in the media that covers this team if they believed it would and pretty confident no one would have agreed with them. B.C was the king of the rose coloured glasses approach to this team. We as people that cover this team and you as fans that pay attention to this team are not fools.
It kind of is like when parents that are getting divorced assure the children that everything will be alright. It seldom works out that way and Bryan Colangelo being kicked out of his office and sleeping on the couch down the hall was doomed to fail and everyone knew it.
I do give Bryan the credit for being the one to realize this obvious fact and step aside. A lot easier to do when you get one of those consultant checks for doing nothing. I really need to land that job.

The sun was setting quickly, dropping like a stone, and I hurriedly built a mini-Hollywood set in the garden, ringing the pool in high-powered lights.
Sometimes I like using flash at sunset, it gives you the ability to freeze the action and get a crisp, dramatic effect. Check out my favorite shot from today's short session with Marketa high in the air above the diving board...an angel with hidden wings, 1000s of watts of luminescence aimed at her naked body in the pitch black night.
Not only was my camera was drawn to Marketa: the mosquitoes started buzzing around, hungry for some action…but don't worry, I showered her in repellent before we started, so though she appeared attractive from a distance, they were put off the scent as soon as they drew closer. But doesn't that apply to most things in life though...and, as I forgot to use the spray on myself, the insects feasted that night on Viking flesh! All in a night's work!
good nite much more marketa tomorrow

Are You A Regular At Your Favorite Bar?
A few weeks ago, I ducked out of work early to visit my favorite bar. As soon as I opened the door, I knew it was a good idea, calling it weekend at 4 p.m. instead of the regular 6:30 or 7. My favorite bartender was there (his regular Friday night assignment), and there were still seats since it was early. The place has a menu, but you can order whatever you feel like. "Something with Old Tom gin," I said.
It was a good drink, and my friend's drink, "something bitter with bourbon," was good too, though more to her taste than mine. And after pouring a beer and making some cocktails for a few other people, my bartender came back to us, leaning the back bar, and telling us about a competition he'd entered. Someone else won. But the drink he'd created sounded good. "I'll call it 'The Loser," he pronounced.
"I want to try it!" I said. And he agreed to make one—but stipulated, "I'll make it for you, but you'll like it better with a little more lime juice."
He was right. He made it that way for me and I loved it. But more, I loved that he knew how to adjust a drink to my particular taste. There are more good bars in New York City than a person can keep track of, but there's no replacing how special it is to have a bartender who knows you—not just your face or your name, but your preferences and which drinks you loved. To be honest, I'm not sure I need another bar in my life when I have this one.
Do you have a place where the bartender knows that you like IPA (or stout), or one who remembers which baseball team you follow or what's going on at your job? Are you a regular at your local joint or at a bar that makes your drink just how you like it? How did you find this place? Will you give away the name?

it is carried by the magnets strength- carried along by the strength of the magnets
So the frictions with the rails- firction (and change the verb to disappears)
OPPOSITE poles always attract themselves and the similar poles repulse themselves.
The magnetic levitation train works thanks to this system.
On every side of the train, some magnets are placed in LINE. Those magnets are placed alternately, so the poles are south, north, south, north, etc
On the rails, its the same but with electromagnets.
Don't use single line paragraphs- these are connected and should be incorprated.
repulse themselves- each other
they get the same properties which magnets have- they have the same properties as magnets
it stays on the premises or it advances of one place for being in equilibrium as much as possible
This doesn't make much sense:
it either stays in place or it moves on one place (I don't understand the in equilibrium part)
When the train will have advanced of one magnet
When the train has moved over one magnet
the magnetic levitation- delete 'the'
The advantages which this new kind of train gets, let predict a beautiful future.
But will the safety may win against the cost?
With the advantages this train has, we may predict a bright future, but will safety win out against cost?

Microsoft Office for iPad now available, requires Office 365 for editing
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Microsoft, Software,
New Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has announced the availability of Office for iPad, making it his very first public announcement since taking the helm of the tech company. Microsoft Office for iPad was not only announced today, but it's available for download today from the Apple App Store as well.
Office for iPad is comprised of three free apps: Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. You can use each app to view and present their respective Office documents, but if you also want to be able to create and edit documents, an Office 365 subscription is required. Through the power of OneDrive, changes made to documents in one place (like the iPad app) will sync over to your other environments (like your Windows laptop.) Here are the download links:

The woman who was hospitalized Monday after her car crashed through the Arby's on North Main Street in Lexington has been identified.
The woman who was hospitalized Monday after her car crashed through the Arby's on North Main Street in Lexington has been identified.
Kathryn Stuby, 76, of Woodsway Drive, was the driver of the 1999 Toyota Camry that appeared to be going through the drive-through lane about 11:30 a.m. when her car accelerated into a storage outbuilding behind the restaurant. The car then over-corrected to the left and crashed into the side of the restaurant.
About half of the car rested in the Arby's dining room after the crash. Employees and customers were evacuated from the building. Two people were in the dining room during the crash, but neither of them was hurt.
The restaurant received an estimated $22,000 in damages while the car had about $1,200 in damage, said Capt. Billy Scarboro of the Lexington Police Department.
Stuby was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Health — Lexington Medical Center after crashing into the restaurant. Scarboro said the woman was treated for nonlife-threatening injuries. A hospital spokeswoman confirmed Stuby was treated and released.
Scarboro said over-correcting was the cause of the crash. The captain said he did not expect charges to be filed on the woman.
Jeff Kirkland, manager of Arby's on North Main Street, said crews worked into early Monday night putting in a temporary wall where the damage occurred. He said the business was closed Monday but reopened Tuesday. Kirkland said his restaurant is fully functional. While police estimated the damage to be $22,000, the general manager said he hasn't received any official estimates as of early Tuesday afternoon.

Brazil's first Olympic men's group match is today, Thursday, July 26th. The Seleção (The Brazil national football team), will face off against Egypt at 20:45 CET in Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Today is the eve of the official start of the games but due to the large number of football faceoffs needed to narrow the field down to bronze, silver and gold, the group matches have started ahead of the opening ceremonies.
Coached by Mano Menezes with Alexandre Pato, Hulk and Neymar as forwards, the odds are looking good with Brazil as current favorites for gold. If they should suceed, it would be the Brazil's first Olympic gold medal in football. It is one international prize that has mysteriously eluded Brazilian footballers with the closest they've come to date being silver medals in 1988 and 1984.
The squad, at times having been criticized as inexperienced has made a concentrated effort to focus only on the upcoming matches at hand. They announced last week a choice to stay in Hertfordshire rather than within the Village in Olympic park, which according to coach Menezes, has "too many temptations" .
The brightest star on this year's team is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior, better known simply as Neymar. The now 20 year old, born in São Paulo state, has been repeatedly called the next Pele. Having joined Santos FC's youth academy followed by quick ascent to stardom within Brasil, like Pele, the comparisons almost at times write themselves. However, Pele himself, likes to shift to a comparison of the young Brazilian star to Argentine footballer Lionel Messi instead. Pele had said that Neymar is better than Messi, who is now a current player for Barcelona and is sometimes argued to be the best player of all time.
Neymar is just getting started. Having debuted on the Seleção roughly two years ago, he has been increasingly wowing fans while catching the eyes of international clubs ever since. Should he perform well in these games, more European teams will likely be wooed and possibly begin making Neymar bigger and better transfer offers.
Not to be out done however, the forwards Hulk and Pato and now Oscar are very much stars in their own right. After a recent US/ Brazil friendly, rumors of Hulk's possible transfer from Portugal's Porto to UK's Chelsea abounded. Instead it seems that his Seleção teammate, midfielder Oscar is Chelsea bound instead with Hulk to remain with Porto. Alexandre Pato, current AC Milan striker, recently also had the press racing to report a possible move as he was thought to be leaving to join former teammates in France. However, he too appears to be staying put for the time being. Both Pato and Hulk when asked about their respective possible transfers, choose to, instead of addressing those issues, talk about their focus on the upcoming Olympics.
Managing all of that focus is Coach Mano Menezes. Having replaced Dunga shortly after his coaching lead the Brazilian squad to their quarterfinal lose to the Netherlands 2–1 in the 2010 World Cup, Menezes has reorganized the senior squad over the last two years and will lead Brazil's Under-23s in London. Referred to as the Under 23s because selection of players is limited those under the age of 23 with the exception of three additional overage players. Menezes' selection of Thiago Silva, Hulk and Marcelo as the squad's three over 23 picks has been called into question by some who wonder why Chelsea's David Luiz didn't make the cut. Still, the full squad of 18 listed below seems very strong.
Goalkeepers: Neto, Cabral
Defenders: Danilo, Rafael, Alex Sandro, Marcelo, Thiago Silva, Bruno Uvini, Juan
Midfielders: Sandro, Romulo, Lucas, Oscar, Ganso
Forwards: Pato, Neymar, Leandro Damiao, Hulk
Reserves: Marquinhos, Giuliano, Cassemiro, Gabriel
Time will tell if this group will be the first set of footballers to bring Olympic gold home to Brasil. If last Friday's face-off against Great Britain and the resulting 2-0 win for the Seleção is any indication of things to come, then Brazil's future is indeed looking golden.

Good Job
UK family mediation service is really a great way to settle disputes without heavy paper work. One should always go for this easy method."
MIAM meetings are basically aimed at identifying whether your case can be settled through mediation without court proceedings. If mediation is not a possible plausible option after the meetings, the mediator will offer a form to certify that you both attended a MIAM. Judges use this form to take up cases that can only be settled in court proceeding.
However, if mediation can be used to solve the separation, which is a lot of the times, there will be no need for court proceedings apart from bargain agreement and appearance for legalization of the divorce. The courts must be aware that you considered mediation before issuing proceeding and your partner will be required to consent with these new regulations even if they do not want to.
They are low cost and lead to just consensual agreements as opposed to court rulings which may be inconsiderate and woeful. Over the course of marriage, partners gain various rights and attachments which cannot be freely aired in public court proceedings. Mediation offers a plain level for both partners to air their bargains and settlement requirements with equal opportunities to justify rationally and considerately.
Most couples who have used mediation successfully settle their disputes and everyone leaves the relationship with fair share. Explaining the benefits of mediation is one of the purposes of mediators and MIAM sessions. What's more, you can qualify for Legal Aid which covers all the cost of mediation and separation without paying attorneys or the mediators.
UK family mediation service is really a great way to settle disputes without heavy paper work. One should always go for this easy method."
As I didn't want to do anything with Solicitors, I decided to opt for UK Family Mediation's services. I have to say, I couldn't have found more impartial, helpful and supportive mediators. I highly recommend their services."
UK Family Mediation, has a team of mediators, who are professional, friendly and calming. At such a difficult time I really appreciated everything they did for me.

Policies & Procedures
Hon. Kent Sims, Presiding
George L. Allen, Sr. Courts Building – 600 Commerce Street, 6th Floor West, Aux 6-A, Dallas, TX 75202
Court Phone: (214) 653-6061
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
All 13 Civil District Courts have an allotment of two hours of my time each week, and the clerks can be contacted for times available.
Attorneys need to contact the clerk or administrator for each Court for my settings. I require the parties to confer on all contested matters immediately before any hearing. If answers or briefs are filed to any motion being heard within two days of the hearing, the other side is normally allowed three days to respond in writing.
Pleadings & Motions
All responses should be filed three days before hearing for the Court to have the opportunity to review the response.
Briefs should include a short fact scenario, legal points and then cases should be attached, letter briefs accepted.
Inquire of the clerk of the Court for procedures for contacting the Court regarding the status of motions.
Pre-Trial Hearings / Hearing Docket
Specific policies relating to hearings are stated above, the most important item being that I require conferencing on all contested matters at or immediately before a hearing.
The clerk from each court will set the hearings, so you must contact them.
Attorneys desiring to appear by telephone must have prior approval from the Court. They must also have conferred with counsel as to each item to be heard as well as let them know that they are not going to be there.
I like cases to be attached to briefs or motions and highlighting is optional.
Attorneys or parties are notified of rulings on motions not made during the hearing by letter from the Court requesting an order be prepared, or by the return of the executed order, by the clerk, left with the Court at the time of hearing.
I always have a Court reporter
I will have numerous bench trials on tax cases and also occasionally on things out of other Courts. Occasionally I will have a tax case jury trial or by agreement I will hold jury trials out of any of the other civil courts. The ones out of the other courts are coordinated through the clerk or administrator.

There are also times when they can't [give you extra time]...or when to give you that two weeks means taking it away from your collaborators; i.e., the artist is going to have to draw the comic in three weeks instead of the five he expected to have.
You may also have harmed his income. He expected to have that script next Tuesday. He planned his life and maybe turned down other work so he could start drawing your script then, plus he counted on being paid for it by the time his next mortgage payment is due. But because of you, he has nothing to draw next week and no way to make money on the days he cleared to draw your script...and he may have to turn down the assignment he was going to do after he finished your script because he's now not going to be done with it when he expected to be. Ask anyone who's worked in comics for a few years and they'll gladly unload a tirade of anecdotes about how someone else's lateness screwed up their lives and maybe even prevented them from doing their best work.
The above advice, as I said, is aimed at a writer for the comics market, but it is relevant to animation artists. Company-produced comics and company-produced animation are both pipelines. If you are an artist in working in either, there is somebody ahead of you and somebody following you in the pipeline. If somebody ahead of you is late, you've got less time to do your job; if you're late, somebody after you has less time. No matter what the length of the schedule, it's a standard complaint that you wish you had more time.
Two things flow from hitting deadlines: payment and return business. Companies don't get paid the full price of a job until it delivers and if it delivers late, a late payment can jeopardize a company's existence. A company that delivers late is likely to lose a client. A company that consistently delivers late is a doomed company.
No company will risk its existence on an employee who misses deadlines. Whether a project is a TV series, feature film or videogame, it's likely the budget is in the millions of dollars. No artist is more valuable than the company's existence or reputation, so artists who can't hit deadlines are artists who will spend more time unemployed.
Yes, the people setting up the schedules or passing judgment on work are often ignorant. They create impossible schedules or ask for changes that will take enormous amounts of time. It's the nature of the business and everyone has experienced it. It is better to avoid these projects and people rather than commit to them. Experience helps to read the situation, but things sometimes take a turn for the worse even if the project looked to be well organized at the start.
As Evanier says,
I tell beginning writers, "Never get a reputation for unreliability. You will never lose it," which is an exaggeration but only a slight one. What you need to do now is cultivate the opposite rep and maybe, just maybe, the new one will trump the old one. If not...well, you just may have to look for another career.

Even The AP Is Calling Bull On Government Claims Of PRISM Helping Stop NYC Subway Bomb
from the when-you-can't-even-convince-them... dept
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said investigators "found backpacks with bombs." Really, the bombs hadn't been completed and the backpacks the FBI found were unrelated to the plot.But there's a much bigger point that the AP makes. Even if the claim was somehow true that PRISM was useful, nowhere does that claim show how a standard warrant wouldn't have provided the same information:
Feinstein said the FBI had Zazi under surveillance for six months. Court testimony showed Zazi was watched only for about two weeks before he was arrested.
That's because, even before the surveillance laws of 2007 and 2008, the FBI had the authority to - and did, regularly - monitor email accounts linked to terrorists. The only difference was, before the laws changed, the government needed a warrant.In other words, even if PRISM was used, there's no evidence that it was needed, because the NSA could have easily obtained the same information through traditional means -- getting a warrant -- and without potentially violating the privacy of millions of others.
To get a warrant, the law requires that the government show that the target is a suspected member of a terrorist group or foreign government, something that had been well established at that point in the Zazi case.

If you ain't white, it's forced.
by SilverPhoenix » Fri Dec 16, 2011 9:58 am
Personally, I think you're missing something very important here and it's the fact that Panther does have relationships with these two characters.
In Cage's case, the two of them have been buddies for quite a while, with their relationship being apart of a few of Priest's stories and that was used in Hudlin's book, as well. Also, one of the subplots of the current meta-story is the fact that Cage calls out Panther on how his quest to prove himself has him shun everyone around him. Once you read the full run, you'll understand why calling Cage makes sense.
As for Falcon, T'Challa gave Falcon his Vibranium wings (and ironically, he's one of the only people who was truly affected by that crap Doomwar ending, but I shouldn't be shocked) and they both have a relationship fostered on mutual respect. If one needed the other's help, the one called upon would probably drop what they're doing to help the other.
With that being said, you could make the argument that Daredevil would've been better for this than Falcon, but T'Challa's honor system (and yes, I'd also agree that his honor system is a significant fault of his). wouldn't allow him to call Daredevil for help after said character trusted him to look after Hell's Kitchen. So there's at least a plausible story reason for leaving him out, unlike Bendis' treatment of T'Challa in Avengers #19.
I know you may be wary of this, but I honestly think this is one of the best thought out team-ups in Marvel in a long ass time, much better than Hawkeye leading Secret Avengers, at least.

Thanks for the post. What you're saying makes sense and I don't want to turn this into another racial thread. It's not like we don't have enough of those around here.
I've just been in enough of these type of meetings where people recommend doing stuff like this and I know BP has a ton more friends he could call on as well. What you say about Cage is true, but the Falcon connection sounds tenuous IMO. And Cage not bringing in Iron Fist or Wolverine or his wife is odd. Again, if it makes sense, I'll take it back.

Yeah but in Thomas' run they were mind-controlled by the Enchantress.
This was She-Hulk calling up her friends to fight the Red Hulk! It made no sense other than to have Frank Cho draw women. That was the only reason for that.
It goes back to what a Marvel Editor once told me about Loeb. He'll ask a writer "what do you want to draw?" The artist may say "Iron Man fighting a dinosaur," so Loeb will add that to the story.

actually, Cage bringing in Wolverine would be exactly what you're decrying here...forced as all holy shit. Wolvy has zero connection to BP beyond his already-forced inclusion in the Avengers, and the fact that he used to be teammates with T'Challa's wife in 1 of the 42 other teams he slums it with in his spare time.
i agree that Fist would make a ton of sense, but then you chalk this up to: maybe Fist is busy with other stuff. mabybe BP isn't looking to recruit an army and wants to keep this to a group of 3...he's planning something, this isn't about planning a full-on frontal assault, it's about tricking Kingpin into making a mistake and then springing the trap, and keeping whatever assistance he's getting to a small number of street level guys may be most conducive to that. or any number of other reasons. frankly, i get your point, but i just disagree here. i don't feel like this is forced in any way yet, and i'm more than willing to give Liss a chance to prove that through the rest of the story as well.

Wolverine would make a ton of sense due to his relationship with the Hand. Trust me, I can live without Wolverine in another series.
by chap22 » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:28 am
i feel that gets overstated a lot. whenever i hear "the Hand" i NEVER think about Wolverine, even in passing. those are DD/Elektra villains.
by Frag » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:31 am
I agree, but it's been force-fed to us enough that they are practically his arch-enemy now.
by BlueStreak » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:33 am
How many Wolverine Hand stories have their been? I can only think of two.
by Frag » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:36 am
He's not just an enemy, he's a member too!
by BlueStreak » Fri Dec 16, 2011 11:55 am
Didn't all that take place in the same story, though?
Unless Wolverine keeps his Hand membership card handy to prove how edgy he is to the Avengers or something...

Is E-Learning the Next Frontier in China?
Online courses have huge potential in China, a nation obsessed with education, but it hasn't taken off. The WSJ's Wei Gu and Jake Lee discuss the pros and cons online education in China with Yat Siu, chief executive of Outblaze, a mobile games company.

Three of Final Four winning without top recruits
By Andy Katz
ATLANTA -- OK, so Kevin Love is going to UCLA next season. The Bruins are going for the top players in the country. And Love is arguably one of the top two or three players in his recruiting class.
Bill Smith/WireImage.com
No other team in the Final Four has the kind of star power out of high school that Ohio State has.But if you look deeper at the Bruins' roster this season (and last season) -- or Florida's or Georgetown's roster, for that matter -- you'll see that raking in all the McDonald's All-American talent isn't a recipe for a Final Four.
Sure, Ohio State is loaded with three top-20 players in its regular rotation in Greg Oden, Mike Conley Jr. and Daequan Cook, and four top-40 players when you add in David Lighty. But the Buckeyes aren't the norm.
UCLA's Arron Afflalo was in the top 35 of his recruiting class, Darren Collison in the top 75 and Lorenzo Mata in the top 100. James Keefe, who doesn't get that much run, was a McDonald's All-American last season. Josh Shipp was one of the top wings out of the West in 2004.
Florida's Al Horford and Joakim Noah were in the top 60 as high school seniors. Neither Taurean Green nor Lee Humphrey was in the top 100. The only McDonald's All-American in the Gators' starting lineup is Corey Brewer, and according to the Florida staff, Brewer was a late add to the McDonald's game because of his defensive ability.
Georgetown's Roy Hibbert was the last guy in the top 100. Jeff Green was in the top 75 and DaJuan Summers, who has shined of late for the Hoyas, was in the top 25 last year.
Georgetown's backcourt is underrated and underappreciated outside of the District for how much Jonathan Wallace and Jessie Sapp developed recently. Hibbert's improvement ranks as one of the best recently of a true post player.
The overall maturation of the players at UCLA and Florida proves yet again that the rankings of recruits don't always translate into NCAA Tournament wins.
"I know we don't have as many [top 100 players]," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "I didn't care. I don't care [about rankings]. You have to trust yourself. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute wasn't highly rated. Mata wasn't. Alfred Aboya wasn't."
Mata and Mbah a Moute, who Howland said does all the dirty work, are good examples of players who have improved quite a bit.
Taurean Green didn't crack the top 100 out of high school; now he's two wins away from his second NCAA title.Mbah a Moute will get a treat this weekend when his father, Camille Moute a Bidias, a high-ranking government official in Cameroon, will see his son (a prince in Cameroon) play organized basketball for the first time Saturday at the Final Four. He'll see just how much his son has improved.
"He has been underappreciated," Howland said of Mbah a Moute.
Florida assistant coach Donnie Jones credits former Florida assistant and current VCU coach Anthony Grant with a lot of the work and evaluation in getting the current Gators stars to Gainesville.
"You never know how they're going to turn out and how they'll fit, but they were all coachable and from professional backgrounds [of the five starters, all except Humphrey and Brewer have parents who were world-class athletes] and all had great character," Jones said.
"The guys that are ranked high sometimes lose sight of what their purpose in college is, especially when they're coming for one year," Jones said.
Jones said Horford probably improved the most, with Noah, the MVP of the Final Four last season, a close second.
Horford's passion, ability to absorb information and desire to work have transformed a marginal post player out of high school into a likely top-seven pick in the June draft, assuming he declares for the NBA.
"His IQ and ability to listen is so high," Jones said. "They are all so selfless and they came back [this season] to improve themselves."
And to get to the Final Four without the high school hype certainly makes it sweeter.

Josh Chasin Joins Comscore as Chief Research Officer
Comscore Moving Forward with MRC Audit
RESTON, VA, June 7, 2007 – Comscore, a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced the appointment of Josh Chasin as Chief Research Officer. In this position, Mr. Chasin will be responsible for the design of statistical measurement methodologies for current and future Comscore products. As part of his responsibilities, Mr. Chasin will also lead Comscore's involvement with the Media Ratings Council ("MRC") and its auditors as Comscore completes the MRC pre-audit and moves into the formal audit phase of the MRC accreditation process.
Mr. Chasin has more than 25 years of experience in media and market research. Prior to joining Comscore, Mr. Chasin was the principal and founder of Warp Speed Marketing, Inc., a Manhattan-based media research consultancy. Mr. Chasin is a former executive at Arbitron, Inc., and a past President/CEO of Simmons Market Research Bureau and Northstar Interactive. In his career, Mr. Chasin has been directly involved in the development and management of audience measurement services for a variety of media, including television, radio, magazines, newspapers, out-of-home, and the Internet. Mr. Chasin is a member of numerous industry organizations and committees, including the Advertising Research Foundation ("ARF") Online Measurement Council, Online Reach/Frequency Committee, Video & Electronic Media Council and Media Effectiveness Council. He holds a B.S. in Marketing from NYU and an MBA in Marketing Management from Pace University.
"We're delighted to have Josh on board," said Dr. Magid Abraham, president and CEO of Comscore. "He is an experienced media researcher who will play a key role in the continued expansion of Comscore's digital media measurement services. With his intimate knowledge of the MRC audit process, we also look forward to Josh's contributions as we take the next step in the MRC accreditation process. We are confident that Comscore's methods will stand up to review and we are pleased to be supporting transparency and accountability in the interactive industry."
"I've been a fan of Comscore since 2000," said Mr. Chasin. "They are true innovators in the media research space, responsible for pioneering many of the new developments we now take for granted in Internet audience measurement. I'm thrilled to be joining such a world class organization."
Mr. Chasin has been a consultant to Comscore since August 2006, when he was retained to assist Comscore in its audit and methodological evaluation efforts with the MRC and the ARF. In addition to pursuing MRC accreditation, Comscore has commissioned the ARF to undertake a thorough third-party evaluation of its research methodology.
"Josh is a media industry veteran with strong research expertise and knowledge of the MRC process," said George Ivie, CEO and Executive Director of the MRC. "We have noted significant progress in the Comscore pre-audit since Josh became involved and we look forward to working with him and his Comscore colleagues through the remainder of the MRC audit process."
"I'm very pleased that Comscore has hired Josh Chasin full time. His research experience is superb and his familiarity with the MRC process should ensure that the auditing process runs smoothly. I look forward to working with him," said Susan Nathan, senior vice president, Director of Media Knowledge for Universal McCann.

I understand why this is, but it's a pretty big weakness in LiveCycle Rights Management. Executives and other employees are adopting mobile devices like the iPad at a blistering pace, and they're demanding access to the files and reports we're already providing them on their desktop and laptops. The inability to view rights protected documents is going to put a lot of pressure on IT groups to look at other solutions.
Any thoughts from Adobe on how this might be addressed in the future? We've been pretty happy with LC RM so far, but I'm not looking forward to having to explain to our execs why they can't view their documents on their mobile devices...

Guys, does someone has something to say on this subject?
Any news?

Adobe has just released this week an Android and a iPhone/iPad version of Adobe Reader (10.1.0) which at last supports Policy Server DRM, available on Android Market and Apple Store.
Can you test whether this effectively works on encrypted files and give a report?
