The 70th anniversary of the rescue of Bulgaria's Jews in WW II is being commemorated with a number of solemn ceremonies in Bulgarian capital Sofia Sunday, Sofia News Agency reports.
Unlike most other Nazi allies or Nazi-occupied countries (with the exception of Denmark and Finland), Bulgaria managed to save its entire Jewish population of 48,000 from deportation to concentration camps.
Bulgarian Minister of Justice Dimitar Peshev is credited with playing a major role in preventing the deportations, as well as Bulgarian Church officials and ordinary citizens.
The story of the Bulgarian Jews during World War II is been told in "Beyond Hitler's Grasp: The Heroic Rescue of Bulgaria's Jews" by Michael Bar-Zohar, an Israeli historian, politician and former Knesset member who was born in Bulgaria.
The organization of Jews in Bulgaria, Shalom, will unveil a memorial sign near the Bulgarian Parliament, after which a solemn ceremony will be held at the Sofia Synagogue.
The ceremony will be attended by official representatives of the Jewish community in Bulgaria, the state of Israel, and other foreign dignitaries.
On Sunday night, the mayors of Bulgarian towns which helped rescue Jews from the Nazis will be awarded the Shofar prize in a ceremony under the auspices of Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev.
The solemn events Sunday will also mourn the 11,343 Jews who were deported to the death camps from territories in Yugoslavia and Greece occupied by Bulgaria during WW II.

Robert F. Kennedy
Robert Francis Kennedy (1925-1968) was a younger brother of President John F. Kennedy. Robert, also known as "Bobby" Kennedy or RFK, served as Attorney General during his brother's presidency. Robert was considered one of John's closest advisers. He was a strong supporter of Civil Rights issues and was primarily known for his fighting of Organized crime.
Robert Kennedy started his legal career in the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice in 1951. He became nationally known for his anti-Mob activities while working as chief counsel of the Senate Select Committee on Improper Activities in the Labor or Management Field, a post which he left in 1960 to work on his brother's presidential campaign. After the election, John Kennedy appointed him to be Attorney General. At 36, he was the youngest man to serve in this position. He stayed on after his brother's assassination, resigning in September 1964.
He ran a successful campaign for Senate, and took office as Senator from New York in early 1965. Kennedy ran for President of the United States as a Democrat in the 1968 election, but was assassinated just months before.
Robert Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan on June 6, 1968 while running for the Democratic Party nomination for President of the United States against his principal opponent, Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota. It is believed that Sirhan Sirhan carried out the assassination because of Kennedy's strong support for Israel. Neither Kennedy nor McCarthy won the party nomination; instead the party choice fell on Vice President Hubert Humphrey, also of Minnesota, who prevailed among delegates without entering a single primary contest following the withdrawal on March 31, 1968, of U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson.

Im trying to fix my friends computer, and Ive finally got it booted to windows XP after deciding a reformat was the only plausible option. now when I connect a cat5 ethernet to the ethernet adaptor, I get a connection, but not an ip or DNS. I am running it off of a router, wich I am using on my laptop right now (via the same cable I tested on his computer) We have figured out that the connection is "Unable to query TCP/IP settings of the connection".
anyone got any ideas...

Contemplating Our Selves
Antoinetter Varner - also known as Gangaji - says she spent decades wrestling with and reshaping her narrative identity. But when she met her true spiritual teacher - a Hindu man vaguely alligned with the nondualist tradition - he told her to stop all stories. Gangaji says that's when she was finally able to connect with the "I" that underlies our selves.
Steve Paulson asked Gangaji about her story, and the end of stories.
Listen to the UNCUT version of this interview here.
Gangaji is one of the greatest teachers of our times
Gangaji, as well as Eckhart Tolle and Byron Katie point to the eternal truth within our selves.
I believe this consciousness is in a sense equal to the soul: it is the soul that realized it is one with its creator, behind the universe, living in the heart.
I suggest listening to Alfred Webre also, who is an exopolitics expert, lawyer, as it is now known that higher dimensions with multiple universes include non-Earthly friends with mostly at least the same high level of consciousness as these enlightened masters of us, helping us now in these challenging times.
May consciousness and love be with us. Conscious silence.

Tolle as Nondualist?
I'm not so sure about Eckhart Tolle being on par with Gangaji. Tolle still speaks of a duality in terms of God AND forms. That is dualism. That is not the Advaita or nondualism being taught by Gangaji.

Catholic Spiritual Masters would Complement this Dialog on Self
Catholic theologians and monks, perhaps someone like Fr. Thomas Keating, would be great people to interview as well as this articulate person Gangaji. Consider the reality of "original sin" as the explanation for distorting the stories of ourselves and the possibility of the redemption of self by God - the origin of truth and reality - in whose image we are made. The inner capacity for self contemplation (self, reflection of self by self, and the dialog of self and self reflection) was perceived by St. Augustine as one piece of evidence suggesting we are made in the image of God who is love and is an interplay of unity and diversity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Consider also God speaking to Moses that He was "I am who I am" in the Jewish Bible. Echoes very nicely with the interview broadcasted...

They were preemies and I could bring them to breast until I brought them home three months later and could not fully bf until three months past that. We are not going to have more babies so I am enjoying our two times a day. My cousin bf but hated it and weaned early so made me feel bad that I am still doing it. Sad that society frowns on doing something that was normal prior to the introduction of formula.

Have you ever seen people who go out of their way to wear unflattering things because they are so good looking that they can pull off even the most terrible looks? This is very common amongst dancers. Their lithe bodies can take the most abuse from pleats and plaids. The straightness of their backs makes a fine counterpoint to the messy topknot, hair piled into a ball on the very top of their head like shiva. Shiva is the destroyer and the first thing on his list should be his hairdo, but who am I to argue with the divine? The river ganges is supposed to spout from his hairstyle, so there's more going on in shiva's topknot than just a chaotic updo achieved without a mirror during the first five minutes of yoga.
These hipster antihipster fashion forward folk are lucky in thrift stores and diving into a dumpster, and there is delicate art to their look, and most of it has to do with having narrow bones and a strict architecture that can show off a garment plain, without fitting. it just hangs, so that the thing can be seen for what it is, as opposed to having to negotiate the threaded turns and valleys of a shapelier figure. it's not just about thinness, although this is an aspect to physical confidence which can help pull off a truly disgusting look. There is something of an attention to proportion and balance. 'Ugly' is just another form of pretty, and if you can actually master this, then you are a bit of a jedi, who also incidentally wear hideous and blousey and unfortunately belted garments and gross tiny braided tailed mullet hair that makes no sense of the head it is on.
Thick black eyeglass frames are essential, and I love these on everyone, no matter how insulting they are to the face underneath. I couldn't ever wear these as I have no bridge on my nose. Yep, no bridge, but also no river flowing from my topknotted hair so frankly, I don't need a bridge, but still, these glasses are a dream that will never come true for me. this is one part of ugly/pretty I really envy. The glasses I have a fetish for, truly.
A very short culotte with a cuff near the knee and big accordion pleats around the thighs and buttocks is another thing I would love to wear, but just cannot. I have only seen one person be able to do this. It's so awful of a pant that only the most beautiful man I know could make it work for him, and the look is memorable and legendary. It's a strange kind of shorts/pants hybrid that never got popular after the renaissance, like a poufy princely thing, that you could accessorize with a velvet pillow with a lone glass slipper resting on it, for your continuing search for Cinderella – when you really should be looking for new pants instead.

The Noah cover for my 2002 MDX fits very well and looks great. It went right on the first time, but putting it on with 2 is certainly easier. I took advantage of the low price guarantee with AutoAnything and got the price cut and a free cable and lock which was offered by an internet competitor. While the color says gray, it is really a light gray nearly white. I bought some cheap stick-on reflectors for mine as it will be parked on the street.

OKANOGAN Okanogan County voters are being asked to decide on a sales tax increase that would help establish a county-wide public transportation system.
The amount requested in Proposition 1, four-tenths of 1 percent, is equivalent to 4 cents per $10 spent on taxable goods.
"The goal is to provide a long-term funding source for transportation," Okanogan Mayor Michael Blake said. "This would provide a much broader transportation option."
The new service would supplement what is already provided by the non-profit Okanogan County Transportation and Nutrition, but the services will be separate, according to Executive Director Leanne Whitener. The existing Okanogan County Transportation and Nutrition services will remain in place, regardless of the vote on Proposition 1.
"The reason that it's being brought forward is because the DOT (state Department of Transportation) is totally changing its way of funding," she said of the ballot proposition. "They're requiring a higher match for all grant applications."
The state has mandated that communities need to contribute toward the services they receive through taxes, and that money can be allocated toward matching funds.
Whitener, who served on the steering committee that contributed to the development of the proposed public system, said the new guidelines will mean greater difficulty for Transportation and Nutrition to find enough community partners to meet the matching fund requirement.
"The problem with our program is it's all grant-funded, totally," she said. "For the dollars that we have, we just haven't been able to get service to everyone."
If the proposition passes, the Okanogan County Transit Authority expects to collect about $2 million in tax revenues, $984,000 of which will be spent next year. The rest will be rolled into 2015. The Transit Authority would begin receiving revenues this year, with an expected carryover into 2014 of $162,000.
What taxpayers would get in return is access to public transportation five days per week in a "hub and spoke" system – meaning the Omak/Okanogan area will serve as the central hub of operations and routes will connect to Oroville, Tonasket, Riverside, Winthrop, Twisp, Brewster and Pateros.
The Transit Authority's boundaries do not extend to the southeastern section of the county, but the transportation plan notes that a contract may be possible with the Colville Confederated Tribes to provide service to Nespelem.
The first step will be to increase daily service to senior citizens and the disabled.
However, most of 2014 will be spent establishing the Transit Authority's administrative structure and purchasing buses and other necessities.
By 2015, the Transit Authority anticipates being ready to start the following routes: Omak/Okanogan urban loop, Omak to Twisp/Winthrop, Omak to Riverside/Tonasket/Oroville, Omak to Brewster/Pateros, and Winthrop-Twisp-Pateros.
Conconully, Loomis, Chesaw, Methow, Carlton, Mazama, Coulee Dam and Elmer City currently don't receive any public transportation service.
If and when resources become available, service will be added from Omak to Conconully, as well as loops between Twisp and Winthrop and Brewster, Pateros and Bridgeport.
"It's going to be need-driven," Blake said. "If some areas don't seem to utilize the program, we can switch resources to other areas."
The agency hopes that extending the service will boost tourism for people who ride in from other counties or come in from Canada and board in Oroville.
Another potential benefit of the transportation service is increased foot traffic in downtown businesses where bus stops are located, according to the plan. Stops will be built in at the county courthouse, stores, Wenatchee Valley College at Omak, employment offices, medical facilities, senior centers and other social service offices.
People can also use the buses to commute to work if the schedules align.
Other future plans include offering evening and weekend service, rides to recreation areas or major community events, establishing park-and-ride service in areas such as the Methow Valley, and installing benches, shelters and bike racks at the bus stops.
Information and schedules will be provided in English and Spanish, with the possibility of adding more languages as needed.
Blake said the Transit Authority is leaning toward charging a fee to ride the bus, but how much to charge is still being decided.
The funds raised will likely be accompanied by an $800,000 grant from the Department of Transportation to purchase buses, and the Transit Authority will apply for another grant the second year for the same amount. The plan is to eventually have a fleet of 13 buses, but could contract with Transportation and Nutrition to use some of the buses it owns.
Planned staffing needs include a manager, operations manager, finance manager, bookkeeper and a clerical position, although the Transit Authority could contract out for those services.
"Like with any plan that is supported governmentally, it's a living thing and it can change as needs change based on the funding that is available… to provide necessary transportation resources throughout the county," Blake said.

In several research papers, such as my Pittsburgh decline of steel study , I have stressed the "green city" benefits of U.S deindustrialization. New York City is a "greener" city today in part because it has lost 1 million manufacturing jobs since the early 1950s. But, in the middle of a deep recession --- we need to find meaningful work for people to do. Given that new factories are cleaner than old regulation exempt factories, any new factories that are built in the U.S today would offer a "win-win" of jobs without severely impacting the local environment.
This LA Times article provides a case study of A123 Systems. This battery maker can more than double the fuel efficiency of a hybrid by replacing the hybrid's battery with the A123 "better battery". Now, I have always wondered why Toyota doesn't buy this product and upgrade its battery but that is a question for another day. It may be an issue of product differentiation that Toyota doesn't want to lose Prius sales by offering the "green current Prius" and the "super green Prius armed with the A123 battery".
In the article, Don Lee sketches the tradeoffs that MIT Professor Yet-Ming Chiang faces. Dr. Chiang hints that he wants to build his product in the United States but that China offers certain attractions for mass producing his battery there;
"The obstacles here are rooted in the sad history of manufacturing's decline in the United States: Despite the promise of Chiang's batteries, many on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley were incredulous when he and other leaders at A123 asked for capital to build factories in America — Asia, yes, but Michigan, why would you want to?
Even more daunting, nearly all of the world's battery manufacturing industry is in Asia, where plants can be built faster and supplies and equipment are much easier to get than in the United States. These days, it's hard to find Americans who even know how to build a battery factory.
That's why A123 had to give in and build its first plants in China, where the company could move into production quickly to show auto industry customers that it could deliver on future contracts."
It is interesting that the article does not discuss differential wages and health benefits in the U.S and China and how much this nudges a factory to locate there. The article claims that the attraction to building a new factory in China is the absence of redtape and the existing human capital and infrastructure for getting the project up and going without delays.
But, there is a cost of having a factory in China. Dr. Chiang, is aware that his private secrets for what makes his product great will become common knowledge there. So, the attraction of locating his factory in Michigan is a combination of Obama Stimulus money and the implicit guarantee that his intellectual property will be safe here. If intellectual property protection helps to rebuild U.S manufacturing, will be an interesting trend to revisit.
His firm expects to create 400 Michigan jobs at its new factory by the end of the year. Is that a big number? How will the Obama team know if they have "over-paid" in terms of the incentives package they offered? Don't forget Tim Bartik's work on the economics of local development. He asked; "who gets the new jobs?" A Mayor may hope that the unemployed and discouraged not in the labor force workers will get these jobs but Bartik showed that migrants from other areas will move in and grab roughly 90% of the new jobs. So, this Michigan effort will move 40 currently unemployed people to gainful employment.
Returning back to China, suppose you a high up official in the central government --- do you have the right incentives to protect Western intellectual property as a commitment device so that your nation will continue to attract firms like A123 to locate within your borders. If you view your home market size as too tempting for foreign companies to pass up on, then you may choose to take the gamble of not offering foreign firms such guarantees.

YUMA, Ariz. — Lettuce growers know Sclerotinia or leaf drop can destroy a crop, but University of Arizona plant pathologist Mike Matheron told the 14th Desert Crops Workshop here recently that a one-two punch of fungicides in the growing season and biological control in the off-season can bring the disease under control in the desert.
That is good news since the disease can be insidious by laying in wait in the soils for several years, waiting to attack young lettuce plants. Once a soil is infected with the sclerotia can lay dormant for several years to infect another lettuce crop. It has become such a problem that it is one reason given for a shift in lettuce acreage from Yuma to California's Imperial Valley.
The workshop was sponsored by the Cooperative Extensions at the University of Arizona and the University of California and Western Farm Press.
Two soil-borne pathogenic fungi cause leaf drop. One, Sclerotinia minor is a bit more benign than Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, but neither is a good actor.
Matheron has looked at a variety of fungicides to control the disease over the years. While most offer some control, is it often not sufficient. In some years his tests have shown complete failures of products that were effective just a year earlier.
Promising product
One of the more promising products he is testing is the fungicide Omega. It is not registered yet on lettuce, but residue testing is under way on the Syngenta product in hopes of getting registration. Matheron said it is registered on peanuts and potatoes for Sclerotinia control.
Endura, a relatively new fungicide from BASF, is registered for control of leaf drop. Matheron said it is more effective on Sclerotinia minor than on sclerotiorum.
Rovral and Botran also are available for leaf drop control. Ronilan is no longer available, added Matheron. There are also biological products available. One is Serenade. Fungicide application on Matheron's trials came at thinning at about two to three weeks after that. Fungicides must be directed to the base of the young plants and be applied before plants become too large because the fungi are most devastating within an inch of the plant.
Since some of the fungicides are more effective on one of the fungi than the other, Matheron suggests tank mixes may be advisable for maximum control.
Fungicides are used to inhibit fungi germination. Matheron said the fungi attacks the letter in cool, wet weather, the type desert lettuce growers experienced this winter.
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is the more dangerous of the two fungi since it can germinate and spread spores aerially. "When this happens, you can lose an entire field of lettuce," he said.
Lettuce producers would prefer to destroy the sclerotia in the soil and Matheron has discovered they can do that with a combination of water and heat.
In field trials in the late spring and early summer, Matheron said sclerotia levels were reduced from 90 percent in the soil to 5 percent for minor and 12 percent for sclerotiorum with three weeks of fallow field flooding.
"Using fungicides when you need to during the growing season and using cultural controls in the spring and summer should lead to maximum control of leaf drop in desert lettuce," said Matheron.

The Sh!tbox Derby: Hazel's Command'ohPosted in Project Vehicles on October 1, 2010
I wedged a filing cabinet key into the ignition and with some wiggling and jiggling, it clicked the tumblers. I had already installed the 33x10.50R15 BFG Baja T/A tires and 15x8 American Racing wheels from Project JR, drained out the engine pudding, spun on a fresh oil filter, and topped the crankcase with new 15W-40 diesel oil. A borrowed battery was slung on the rotten tray and the engine laboriously cranked over. It didn't fire, so I poured a little 40:1 two-stroke pre-mix (hey, it's all I had) down the carb throat. Nothing. Out came the multi-meter, which told me the factory coil was toast, as were a few plug wires. My parts shed puked up an old coil and some spare wires into the little 304 and it sputtered to life. The fuel pump couldn't pull the rancid fuel up from the tank, but otherwise it looked like the engine was a keeper and warranted further investigation.
Three of the freeze plugs had popped out of the block, so I grabbed some new ones and hammered 'em in. The factory motor mounts were rotten through the core and the engine had actually fallen backwards, wedging the valve covers against the firewall. Who cares, right? I ran out, got some straight unleaded, and rigged a hose from the fuel pump into the fuel can. With another prime of the carb it fired and settled into a rough, lopey idle. I plugged a few open vacuum lines and the idle smoothed a bit, but the distributor was so worn the timing was hopping all over the place. Otherwise, the little 304 seemed to be in pretty good shape, with no knocks or bad noises. The alternator didn't charge, the transmission was fried, the T-case full of ATF, the radiator leaked both water and ATF like a sieve, and there was a slew of other issues to work out, but at least I didn't have to do an engine swap.
I made my parts list and weighed the pros and cons of going full budget or using quality components to ensure I wouldn't have to do things over again as this project evolves over time. After placing my order with Daystar, B&M, and Performance Distributors for the parts required to make this super-pile super-reliable, I scoured my shed for parts that could keep the bottom line in check. With the rig now able to move around under its own power, check back next time to see me sling a new suspension under the front, cut the body to clear the used 33-inch tires, install some seats, and finish up some other odds-and-ends to get it into competition-trim.

NJ's Top Court Won't Consider Cemetery Case
The Diocese of Camden has lost its bid to block the state from using eminent domain to take vacant land at a Camden County cemetery for a major highway project.
The state Supreme Court announced this week that it won't hear an appeal the diocese filed over New St. Mary's Cemetery in Bellmawr. The cemetery, which the diocese owns with St. Mary's Parish of Gloucester City, has operated for more than 50 years.
The Courier-Post reports that church officials want $19.4 million for the six-acre tract, which contains no graves. But the diocese says its figure includes the cost of relocating some nearby graves, noting the roadwork "might disturb the tranquility of some sights."
But the state Transportation Department values the land at $1.9 million, basing its offer on a March 2007 appraisal. The state moved to condemn the parcel in June 2010, and an appellate court sided with the state last October.
The DOT wants the land for its "Direct Connection" project, which is intended to improve traffic flow in the area where Route 42 and Interstates 76 and 295 come together.
"It would appear that the constitutionally protected safeguards long accorded to property owners have been discarded," diocesan spokesman Peter Feuerherd told the newspaper. "The diocese will continue to do what is necessary to address the impact upon individuals affected by the state's project, and we trust that the state is ready to do the same."

Injury Update: No More Preseason For Newman
As you may have heard Terence Newman has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. Basically he has severe pain in his heel when he walks or runs. Newman missed last week's game against the Broncos and will miss the rest of preseason. Coach Phillips expects Newman to start the season opener on September 9th but the injury will likely bother Newman the rest of the season.
This is bad news, considering his backups are veterans Aaron Glenn and Anthony Henry. Newman's shoes are not easy to fill and he is one of the most underrated cornerbacks in the league. In 2006, Newman had 63 tackles, 54 of which were unassisted.
He has been a proven leader on and off the field and would be a great loss to the Cowboys. Lets hope to see "T-New" out on the field and ready to rumble when the 'Boys take the field September 9th against the New York Giants.

Pacquiao waiting on Mayweather
Manny Pacquiao has said there is no reason why he will not step into the ring with Floyd Mayweather Jr next year.
Pacquiao, who takes on Juan Manuel Marquez for a fourth time this weekend, insists he is "100 per cent" open to a showdown with his rival, and claims it is up to the American to call the shots.
Speaking to ESPN, Pacquiao, who has agreed to a 55-45 split in Mayweather's favour, said that he hoped the pair could arrange a fight in 2013.
"I hope that fight will happen by next year," Pacquiao said. "I am 100 per cent willing to fight him.
"I already announced that on ESPN, on the radio stations, in every interview, I have said that already. He can suggest all the rules and regulations in boxing when we fight together.
"I have nothing to do, it is his job if it is OK or not. It is up to him."

Dressing up for Shabbat (Part II)
May 29, 2013
Every week, Jody Hirsh, the JCC's Judaic Education Director, provides a Shabbat message that is featured at the top of the JCC's weekly email newsletter. Below is the Shabbat message for Friday, May 31, 2013.
Dressing up for Shabbat (Part II)
For many Jews, the archetypal image of dressing for Shabbat is that of the Hassidic Jew wearing his Kaputeh (long coat) and Streimel (fur hat). The hat itself is totally distinctive. It's a hat usually with a velvet base that is surrounded by fur – usually tails: sable, fox, and other furs. The number of tails is usually symbolic. 13 (the number of attributes of God stated in Exodus). 18 ("Life"). 26 (The numerology of the 4 letter name of God). This hat is never worn on ordinary work days – it is entirely in the realm of Sabbath and Holidays that it takes its exalted place.
There are many legends about how the Streimel came into existence. It is entirely an Ashkenazi (Eastern European Jewish) article of attire, and is actually similar to hats worn by the Polish/Russian aristocracy. In 1812, after Napoleon conquered Poland, the Polish aristocracy converted to more "modern" western attire, but the Jews clung to their traditional Shabbat clothing.

An entrepreneurship fair held at her local high school encouraged Miranda Simminger to start thinking like a businesswoman. She sketched out plans for a local touring company, and then built an enterprise around raising rabbits that continues today.
ATWOOD, Kan. — An entrepreneurship fair held at her local high school encouraged Miranda Simminger to start thinking like a businesswoman. She sketched out plans for a local touring company, and then built an enterprise around raising rabbits that continues today. She markets a variety of rabbit meats as well as rabbit hair items like purses and keychains and rabbit manure for fertilizer through the High Plains Food Co-op, mostly to customers on Colorado's Front Range.
"I learned a lot, and it was a lot of fun," said Simminger, who lives on the family's farm near Ludell, Kan., helping to raise hogs, cattle and chickens. She hopes her family can continue to find ways to expand the farm's revenue so that she and her other siblings can remain involved in food and fiber production.
Encouraging a new generation to return to farming and to the small towns where they grew up is an increasingly urgent challenge, as the average age of farmers climbs and the class size at most rural schools plummets. Simminger's experience illustrates how putting a renewed focus on entrepreneurship might offer at least part of the answer.
Kansas Farmers Union recently chose the northwest Kansas town of Atwood to host a workshop on farm transitions, funded in part with a grant from Farm Aid. It included presentations on the regional High Plains Food Co-op and overviews of several unusual training programs offered through nonprofit organizations and at colleges in the region.
Higher education used to be geared to training a skilled workforce rather than teaching students how to build and run their own businesses, observed Scott Mickelsen, associate dean at the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture in Curtis, Neb. However, that is slowly changing, with his two-year college leading the trend.
"We teach entrepreneurship across the curriculum," he said. "Our instructors understand entrepreneurship and stress that in all of their classes."
Unconventional approaches at NCTA include the 100 Beef Cow Ownership Advantage and 100 Acre Farm Advantage programs, concepts that are still "very unique" in the field.
"We'll show you how to own a hundred cows," Mickelsen explained. "Can you make a living on a hundred cows? No, but you'll have some equity built up. You can start keeping replacements back, and your chances of getting a loan now are much better."
For students, starting a small farm or cowherd involves writing a comprehensive business plan, finding and developing relationships with strategic business partners and learning to think constantly about what might make the next great idea, he said.
"I wish when I left college, I would have known some of these things. These concepts work," said Mickelsen, who was raised on a ranch in Idaho and at one time considered taking it over from his grandfather.
Pathways into farming are more diverse than most people think: he cited studies from the National Ag Statistics Service that show 66 percent of beginning farmers aren't inheriting or purchasing their farms from family members, they are starting fresh.
Mentorships can help pave the way. Calvin Adams, project director for the Kansas Ranch and Range Management Internship Program, described a paid internship that pairs students with innovators like Ted Alexander, a well-respected ranch and resource manager from Medicine Lodge, Kan. Some of Ted Turner's bison ranches have also participated.
Adams said he puts a great deal of care into the pairings, so that both students and seasoned ranchers grow and are rewarded by the experience. "I won't force a square peg into a round hole," he said. "We're looking for ranchers willing to make the investment to work with the students by having weekly if not daily conferencing."
Two internships were completed last year, but Adams, who ranches near Beloit, said the goal is to have 8 to 10 interns participating. He is shifting his recruiting focus to Native Americans and Hispanics to attract more applicants, he said.
Local efforts bear fruit
Atwood got serious about stemming the rural "brain drain" back in 2004, when a new crop of community leaders decided it was time for a fresh approach. One of their first new projects was the creation of the High Plains Food Co-op. Modeled on a similar venture pioneered in Oklahoma, it is now one of several regional online buying clubs operating around the country. In September, the co-op generated $8,500 in revenue from 100 different orders distributed to 11 drop-off sites in Denver. The co-op offers more than 700 different products, according to Chris Schmidt, the co-op president and an Oberlin, Kan., farmer who sells grain-finished beef, poultry and eggs through the program.
Direct marketing is less land-intensive than growing for the commodity market, an important attribute with the price of farmland surging 25 percent per year statewide. Duane Chaney, a co-op member who farms a couple of acres with his wife near Colby, Kan., said $10,000 to $20,000 per acre in gross profits is not unrealistic.
"Our income has increased four times since getting involved with this," he said of the co-op. "This is a marketing thing that I'm really excited about."
The community also teamed up with Ogallala Commons, a Texas-based nonprofit supported by the CHS Foundation, to offer entrepreneurship training and internships to high school students. A county youth engagement day, planned for November, will walk area students through the process of brainstorming business and community development ideas and the steps for putting those ideas into action.
One young farmer attending the recent Farmers Union meeting was Schmidt's nephew, Tanner, a graduate of Kansas State University who decided to return home to farm.
He's not alone. Atwood's experiment so far appears promising. "We've been recognized as a community where the population has leveled off," said Chris Sramek, the town's economic development official and founder of Decision Weather, a local meteorology business. "Our classes are back up to 30 or more from around 15." The community is on track to reach a goal of retaining about a third of its high school graduates, he said.
Following the workshop, Frank Miller led a tour of a local manufacturing company that makes liquid fertilizer storage trailers and employs around 20 people. Miller went away to college at Hays, Kan., then worked for a time as a physical therapist, before returning to the area to take a job as the company's manager. He said the town's new focus on entrepreneurship was a benefit to those who wanted to return to their roots, while also creating healthy business diversification for the community.
"It's not just one big business doing everything around here," he said.
The reversal of fortunes is so complete that the city's biggest challenge now is a lack of housing. The company's most recent hire, a new welder, spent two months searching for a place to live, Miller said.

Lilian Mary Baylis, (born May 9, 1874, London, Eng.—died Nov. 25, 1937, London), English theatrical manager and founder of the Old Vic as a centre of Shakespearean productions.
As a child, Baylis studied the violin, and she performed in concert with her parents, who were singers. In 1890 the family moved to South Africa, where Baylis later became a music teacher. She returned to England in 1898 to assist her aunt, Emma Cons, who had turned the Victoria Theatre (originally the Royal Coburg Theatre) into a temperance hall under the name of the Royal Victoria Hall and Coffee Tavern (1880–1912).
Upon Cons's death in 1912, Baylis became sole manager and converted the hall into the Old Vic, which became world famous as the home of Shakespearean productions. Between 1914 and 1923 the theatre staged all of William Shakespeare's plays—a feat no other modern playhouse had attempted. The productions mounted under Baylis's management were praised for their simplicity and outstanding acting. In 1931 she took over the derelict Sadler's Wells Theatre and made it a centre of opera and ballet. Baylis was created a Companion of Honour in 1929.

Kansas attorney general to appeal capital rulings
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced Friday that he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate death sentences for two brothers over the fatal shootings of four people in a snow-covered soccer field and for another man convicted of killing a couple.
Schmidt notified the state Supreme Court that he is appealing its rulings in the cases of Jonathan and Reginald Carr and Sidney Gleason.
The Carr brothers were sentenced to lethal injection for the four killings, which occurred in Wichita in December 2000 and followed dozens of other crimes, including robbery and rape. Gleason was sentenced to die over the couple's deaths, in the central Kansas town of Great Bend in February 2004.
FILE - In this combination of 2013 file photos provided by the Kansas Department of Corrections, is Reginald D. Carr, left, and Jonathan D. Carr. The Kansas Attorney General announced Friday, Aug. 8, 2014 that he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate death sentences for two brothers over the fatal shooting of four people in snow-covered soccer field. The Kansas Supreme Court, which overturned their death sentences in July, hasn't upheld a death sentence since the state enacted a new capital punishment law in 1994. (AP Photo/Kansas Department of Corrections)
"In each case, we doubt the U.S. Constitution compelled the Kansas court to set aside the death sentences that were recommended by juries of the defendants' peers," Schmidt said in a statement.
Schmidt's office said the appeals will be filed by Oct. 16.
An attorney who represented both Gleason and Jonathan Carr did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.
The Kansas court hasn't upheld a death sentence since the state enacted a new capital punishment law in 1994, and the state's last legal executions, by hanging, were in 1965. It has five other men on death row.
The rulings in the Carr brothers' cases prompted criticism from the Republican-dominated Legislature because the crimes were among the most notorious in the state since the 1959 killings of a western Kansas farm family that inspired the classic book, "In Cold Blood."
Authorities said the Carr brothers broke into a Wichita home and forced the three men and two women inside to have sex with each other and repeatedly raped the women. The brothers forced them to withdraw money from ATMs before taking them to the field, where one woman survived a gunshot wound to the head and ran naked through the snow for help.
The Kansas court ruled that the brothers should have had separate sentencing hearings, instead of a joint one.
In Gleason's case, the same court said the presiding judge gave flawed instructions to jurors about weighing evidence in favor and against recommending a death sentence. One victim was a woman who'd witnessed a robbery in which he was involved. The other was her boyfriend, and authorities said Gleason shot him as he sat in a Jeep.

I believe, within all of us, Is the ability to express something distinctive and original. I work to help students discover their unique voice, whether it be through singing, acting, or writing. I share with my students an array of tools to gain the ability
My students have gone on to become recording artists, Broadway performers, movie actors, Blues and cabaret artists, and published writers.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am an empathetic teacher, sensitive to the student's individual process of learning. My singing lessons usually start with breathing and relaxation exercises. Vocal technique exercises come next. When the student is fully warmed up, we will begin to work on songs. It is important that students be a part of the process of picking material since the more personally they respond to the material the more apt they are to become engaged in their lessons. After three to six months beginning students will have gained an understanding of the fundamentals of breathing, relaxation, and basic performance skills. With more advanced students the focus will be on range extension and the on-going development of vocal style through song interpretation and performance related exercises.
As an acting teacher and coach, I tailor my classes to the needs of each student. I utilize improvisatory and sensory techniques to help unleash spontaneity. I also encourage the students to use their personal experiences as a way to access a full range of emotions. I enjoy working with the student on script analysis, so as to discover the underlying motivations of the character the student is working on.
Creative and Lyric Writing
I use prompts as a way to get the student writing. Often, I will ask the student to write for stretches of time without editing themselves. It is important to unleash imagination before beginning the process of editing. Many times it is the unexpected that is the most compelling.

I have been an avid reader my entire life, but have tutored for a number of years and know that reading can be daunting to many. I find that it is easiest to help students break chapters into smaller sections so that they can analyze them easier. I can help to make outlines and teach the basics of literary style but am also able to cover nuances within narratives.

I have been tutoring academics for 5 years, and have helped students increase their overall ELA scores by as much as 50%! I can help students with their homework, as well as bring additional materials to help improve reading comprehension and spelling.
About Melissa
I am mostly self-taught, and that, coupled with my youth, gives me a unique perspective when teaching. My first goal is to give my students all of the tools they need to feel confident from the very first lesson- almost all of my students finish the first hour with a handy drawstring bag to keep their new sewing supplies in. I have a specific sewing curriculum for the first 3-5 lessons that helps lay a groundwork for making more exciting things.
After we finish those steps, I work individually with students to make whatever they would like, from Halloween costumes to memory pillows to peplum tops. The choice is
My experience includes;
-I worked in a tutoring school teaching kids from ages 5-17 in all subjects.
-I designed a program called Creative Studios for creative writing, fashion design and fine art. I taught these subjects to students aged 8-12.
-I teach sewing and fashion design (including fashion drawing) to various students in a one on one format.
-I teach fashion design and sewing to tweens, teens, and adults at SI Dance and Arts Center
-I am a resident costumer for Sundog Theatre.
-I taught at the Harlem Educational Activities Fund Saturday Academy
-I am pursuing a Masters in Adolescent Education in Social Studies
Please note that I am located in Staten Island, NY. I may be able to accommodate some Brooklyn students, but please inquire before booking. I have locations in 10306 and 10309 that can accommodate students if you don't wish to learn in home.
My studio space is located at Staten Island Dance and Art Center. It's a lovely, artsy space with bright yellow walls, four sewing machines, 2 professional mannequins, and a closet full of fabric and notions!

The reading lessons I provide are mostly centered on Test Prep objectives, e.g. GRE/SAT/ACT Reading Comprehension, etc.
(IMPORTANT: Please do NOT book any lessons without confirming with me if we have a match in schedule. I have other obligations besides tutoring so if you do not have a flexible schedule, I recommend other tutors that will match your budget and schedule.)
About Rod
(NOTE well: This season, I am focusing on students who are 18+. Use the "Ask a Que
My interests also include gifted learning and STEM education. For example, I was successful in helping a 5-year old pass the NYC Gifted & Talented Test so he could enroll in any New York City school participating in the program.
I have several years experience working with various people from different backgrounds as an engineer (hardware+software) and as business developer in multinational companies and startups and this exposure has given me deeper and practical insights into personality and intelligence enabling me to adapt my teaching style to different needs and situations. Furthermore, I have learned from experience that there are three best tools for learning: practice, practice and more practice!
Tutoring for yourself or for your son/daughter is both an investment in time and money for a future return so please also plan accordingly. Now, I make sure that I do not totally depend on tutoring for income so I can maintain a certain level of quality. In other words, when there is a match in objective, budget and schedule, I am quite happy to be part of someone's educational journey. I consider it indeed a very special privelege to be able to help a student because it is my experience that effective education can be life-changing. Finally, I am aware that other tutors may be in a better position to meet your existing situation so we have to accept that and move on.
Tutoring Rate (IMPORTANT): I only do in-person tutoring because I believe effective learning is multi-dimensional and personal not flat and distant. My minimum lesson length is 2.0 hours. My rates for children and teens will in principle be at least the same as adults because I actually invest more time and effort since I have to consider the feedback of at least 2 individuals (student+guardian) compared with an adult student. Different arrangements possible on a case-by-case basis. Please see each subject rate for more details.
When I am not tutoring, I am involved in projects related to technology, hospitality and service industries. I also enjoy cooking especially when I can make an ordinary dish into something extra-ordinary by adding that little "extra."

In helping students excavate the structure and form of arguments from within arguments, I always recommend a four step analytical process that goes like this. First, find the conclusion of the argument. If the client cannot find the conclusion, I ask him to submit his reasoning faculty to the "Therefore test" - which is a competency that students can master after a session with me. (Professor Alec Fisher, in his Critical Thinking (2008), spells out the "Therefore" test.) Second, give the premises entailed in the conclusion. Some of these may be assumed or implied. Third, ask yourself whether there are ambiguous items in the conclusion and/or premises. Put another way, ask yourself whether any item - be it a word, a phrase, a bracketed portion of text - could use clarification. Fourth, ask yourself what the structure of the argument is. Step four assumes that you already have a solid grasp on what argument forms look like. Most people do not have this understanding in conceptual

Three kings of the turntables -DJ Kool Herc, DJ QBert, and one of its original instructors A-Trak, were awarded. Co-Founder, Rob Principe shared the vision behind establishing the company ten years ago, in front of a standing room only crowd at the Canal Room in Lower Manhattan. Scratch's other co-founder, the slain Jam Master Jay was represented by his sons, TJ (DJ Dasmatic), Jason (DJ Jam Master J'son) and wife, Terri Mizell. TJ, performed alongside Jay's band mate DMC, while J'son was given a thirty minute set on the night.

A video released this week of a taxicab encounter shows a flirty woman lift her skirt and make sexual advances on a driver, who for his part, politely rebuffs her. The restrained tenor between the two, at the end of a ride from the French Quarter to Lakeview, offers little hint of the legal troubles to come.
In the three-minute video, both acknowledge they kissed. But the passenger, who later claimed she did not know she was being filmed, tries to keep the sexual momentum going, pulling on her underwear and lifting her dress, saying "Baby," and "Please." Meanwhile, the driver, who hit record on his cell phone, asks where he should drop her off and insists he is faithful to his girlfriend. After he drops her off, he curses her and indicates she made him sexually excited.
The fallout from the video has been dramatic. After viewing the video at a trial last week, a judge convicted the passenger, Jennifer Gaubert, 33, a New Orleans attorney and former radio show host, of simple battery, a misdemeanor. The same week, the taxi driver filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against her and the city. And next month, she is set to stand trial on a charge that she lied about the cabbie blackmailing her just to have him arrested. The felony charges carries up to five years in prison.
As a result of Gaubert's claims, the cabbie, Hervey Farrell, spent 27 hours in Orleans Parish Prison. His mug shot appeared in the local news with stories about a rogue taxi driver who filmed his passenger's private parts without her permission and later tried to extort her. Orleans Parish District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro refused to charge Farrell, and instead charged Gaubert with filing false statements, a felony.
Farrell, 39, is fighting back, against Gaubert and the New Orleans Police Department, in a the federal lawsuit filed April 4. The suit alleges the city does not adequately train or supervise police officers, and claims Farrell was a victim of false arrest, false imprisonment, malicious prosecution and kidnapping.
After his arrest, Farrell was forced to surrender his taxicab license, putting him out of work for several months while the New Orleans Taxicab Bureau conducted an investigation.
The suit names Mayor Mitch Landrieu, NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas and three police officer involved in August 2013 arrest. The cabbie claims the officers did not check the initial police report he filed on April 6, 2012, the day of the videotaped incident, which would have shown Gaubert was already facing the misdemeanor battery charge for touching his genitals.
"Mayor Landrieu and Superintendent Serpas did not even require the minimal step of requiring a search of prior reports regarding this incident, or open criminal litigation in the parish in which these officers operate, prior to issuing a baseless arrest warrant," the suit says.
Only Gaubert and Farrell know what came before Farrell pressed record.
Gaubert has acknowledged in a previous interview with NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that she was drunk when Farrell picked her up in his White Fleet taxi near Bourbon and Bienville streets on the morning of April 6, 2012. In her version, she and Farrell were consensually fooling around near her home in Lakeview before he started filming.
According to Farrell's suit, Gaubert aggressively hit on him and refused his orders to leave his taxi several times, including on video. But the video does not show him order her out of the cab, as his suit claims.
He asks her repeatedly where he should take her and says he wants to go home.
The video shows Gaubert, in the front seat, leaning toward the driver, with her legs spread and dress raised. "Please," she pleads,
"Come here," as she pulls on her underwear.
"Please stop," Farrell says.
"What's your problem?" she says.
"I have a girlfriend," he says.
Later, Gaubert says, "Can you chill out for two seconds? You're hot. You're a (expletive) hot guy. I'm a girl. It happens."
"No, I'm a faithful man and uh," he says, before telling her he needed to drop her off.
"You were kissing me before," she says.
"No, you were kissing me," he says.
After Farrell drives Gaubert back to her house, she leaves and tells him, "Your girlfriend's a lucky girl."
As he drives away, Farrell can be heard muttering, "You made me blow a (expletive) load, you (expletive) whore."
After the car ride, Farrell called New Orleans police and filed a report, causing them to cite Gaubert for simple battery. After considering the video and other evidence, Municipal Court Judge Paul Sens found her guilty at trial on April 2. She is appealing.
A year after the incident, on April 5, 2013, Gaubert called police and reported to Officer Alfred Moran that she and Farrell were making out while she was drunk in his cab a year earlier. She told Moran that Farrell filmed her with her skirt lifted and genitals exposed without her permission. She also said Farrell emailed her attorney at the time, Brigid Collins, a copy of the video and offered to make her pending battery charge and the video disappear in exchange for $1,000, according to court records.
Moran and his supervisor, Sgt. Richard Hunter, then secured an arrest warrant for Farrell on counts of video voyeurism and extortion. The new federal lawsuit says the officers never asked Gaubert to show them Farrell's threatening email, "which did not exist." The officers also failed to contact Farrell about the allegations, view the video, or seek out the initial police report on the incident that had led to Gaubert's battery charge, the lawsuit says.
A spokesman for the Landrieu administration declined to comment on the pending litigation.
Farrell's arrest came after a traffic stop in August 2013. Officer Jack Manning ran the driver's name and found the active arrest warrant. The suit says his reputation was damaged and he had to pay some costs associated with a $21,000 bail bond.
After the arrest, Gaubert told NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune that she waited a year to report her allegations because she was too ashamed to call police. She said she had openly discussed her local radio show -- "Law Out Loud," which aired on WGSO -- with the cabdriver, which she believed made her a target.
She also said Farrell had initially demanded $60,000, but lowered it to $1,000.
Records show Farrell filed a civil suit against Gaubert in March 2013, seven months after the taxicab encounter. The outcome of that case is unclear. Farrell's attorney, Timothy Richardson, who filed both suits, did not respond to requests for comment.
"What I did was embarrassing and stupid, but it wasn't a crime," she said at the time. "What he did to me was criminal."
Gaubert's bench trial in the criminal case is set for May 9 before Criminal District Court Judge Arthur Hunter.
Gaubert's attorney, Cameron Mary, declined to comment on her pending case. Gaubert is appealing her battery conviction, and is set for sentencing on May 7.

This recipe requires thawing the phyllo dough in the refrigerator overnight. The chicken filling can also be made the day before; in fact, several recipes I reviewed recommend refrigerating the filling overnight. I decided to add a few more steps to the preparation by making my own Ras el Hanout spice mix. I also sauteed the onions and garlic, and browned the chicken thighs, prior to adding the broth and braising the chicken for the hour required.
I had all the spices required to make the spice mix, and now I have extra to use for as a quick seasoning on chicken or fish for future dinners.
This dish was wonderful, but takes time. I'm a bit exhausted, and still have dishes to do. Oh John, where are you??
And my sous chef wasn't much help either, as he snoozed on the couch, soaking in the late afternoon sun!

Nearly 67 million viewers watch election coverage
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- President Barack Obama's re-election was well watched but wasn't the TV ratings record-breaker his first victory four years proved to be.
An estimated 66.8 million viewers watched election returns on broadcast and cable networks Tuesday, the Nielsen Co. said Wednesday.
The audience fell short of the record 71.5 million viewers who tuned in to the outcome of the 2008 contest and the historic election of the first African-American president.
NBC came out on top among all networks, averaging 12.1 million viewers during the three hours of prime time, 8-11 p.m. Fox News Channel held the No. 2 slot with 11.45 million viewers, the biggest average ever in the network's 16-year history.
Among other networks, ABC drew 10.52 million viewers, CNN had 9.25 million, CBS had 7.92 million, FOX (broadcast sister to Fox News) had 4.93 million and MSNBC had 4.7 million.
Cable rivals CNN and Fox News both could claim bragging rights, depending on how the pie is sliced.
Networks didn't call the race for Obama until after 11 p.m., so limiting ratings to prime time is akin to measuring viewership for the first three-quarters of an exciting football game decided in the fourth quarter.
Expand the window out to between 7 p.m. and 12 a.m., and Fox News had 10.6 million viewers to CNN's 8.9 million, Nielsen said.
Open it even wider, from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., and CNN has a narrow edge over Fox News: 8.8 million to 8.7 million. The later hours include Romney's concession speech and Obama's victory speech -- events that, presumably, wouldn't appeal as much to the Republicans who make up the bulk of Fox News' audience.
Nielsen measured viewership on 13 networks, including ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, PBS, Univision, Telemundo, CNBC, CNN, Fox News Channel, MSNBC, Current TV and TV One.

Get problematic payment module working with existing GoCardless subscriptions
Budget £20-250 GBP
I have a lot of clients using GoCardless with WHMCS however I've had to upgrade to PHP7 and use a newer payment module.

With your free Westlaw/Lexis ability, you might be able to convince them to take you as a research monkey.
You can't use westlaw and lexis for private practice over the summer. They make you agree not to do so, and if they catch you, you will be charged for the time you use the service (although this doesn't mean they actually will catch you, but the very idea of being personally billed their outrageous rates was enough to minimize my use over the summer)If I remember correctly, you can use your access for journal, research assistant positions w/ faculty, non-profit work, and maybe a couple of other things.
Have you ever heard of this happening? For Westlaw/ Lexis to do this would be really silly. They are trying to get you "hooked" on their product, and if you do they have a potentially life-long customer. I can't imagine them busting a student, considering their fierce competition with each other and what is at stake.

Rituxi - Madness

I read your article in Company Magazine and I got very close to tears; I was diagnosed with RA just before I turned 21, and like you I was very shocked. My mum also has RA and thankfully she's been a great support to me as she's such a strong person, but I'd been going through a bit of a slump lately (I've been on several different medications as none of them were working, or they were giving me funky side effects) and reading your article not only made me realise how lucky I am, as I don't suffer as badly as you do, but how precious my 'healthy' time is (when I'm not poorly/having a flare up). I just wanted to say thank you, you've made me realise moping about solves nothing, and now I'm staying positive :)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous26 November 2010 at 14:00
Hello, I too read your article in Company Mag, I am 36 and have been suffering with RA since having a bad cold about 4 years ago. I am a mother with 3 children and sometimes find it so hard to do even the smallest things for them (like get out of bed and make there packed lunch). Since reading your article I have made my whole family read it as its the only thing I have found that totally describes how I feel at times, your amazing, you have made me both smile and cry. Thank you xxxSharon,KentxxxxxReplyDelete
- Anonymous28 November 2010 at 23:59
Hi! I'm another Company reader. :)ReplyDelete
I just wanted to thank you for raising awareness for RA, particulalry in us young women. There are such strong preconceptions about it being an 'old person disease', but that obviously isn't the case.
I'm 20 and was diagnosed with seronegative arthritis this September. Your article made me realise I've actually been very lucky that my condition isn't very aggressive and I'm responding well to treatment. I'll never, ever take a pain-free day for granted again.
I really admire your strength, thanks for sharing your story. It means a lot. xxx

If your family and friends describe your job as "works with computers" then it's highly likely that the most frequent question you are asked these days is no longer "which computer should I buy?" but "which smartphone should I get?"
Some of that is due to the fact that people refresh their smartphones more than their computers and some of it is due to the fact that there are plenty of people who are still transitioning from traditional cellphones to smartphones. Whatever the case may be, TechRepublic would like to know which smartphone platform you recommend when users approach you for advice.
Anecdotally, one of the interesting things we've seen is that even some professionals who are Android and Blackberry enthusiasts are recommending the iPhone to average users. This is especially true if those users live in a city where there's an Apple Store, because then if the users have problems with the device they can take it into the Apple Store instead of coming back and pestering the techie who recommended the phone.
Let us know which platform you recommend by answering the poll and then jump into the discussion below to explain why.

GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) is an alternative positioning system to GPS. With GLONASS enabled, your watch may record a more accurate track in certain conditions. Particularly in urban areas with tall buildings, GLONASS can improve track accuracy. In other areas, it is typically best to leave GLONASS disabled. With GLONASS enabled, your watch consumes more battery life.
To toggle GLONASS on/off:
- Select a sport mode that uses GPS.
- Open the options menu and scroll down until you reach GLONASS.
- Press the middle button to toggle the setting on or off.
The GLONASS setting is a global setting. When you enable it, GLONASS is activated for all sport modes with GPS.

Talk:Arch compared to other distributions
x86_64 or amd64
"Arch supports i686 and x86_64 while Gentoo officially supports x86, {...}, amd64, {...}, and itanium architectures." x86_64 is the same thing as amd64, is it not?
- Yes, though Arch typically uses 'x86_64' and Gentoo typically uses 'amd64' to describe the architecture. I'm not sure if it's more right to leave the article the way it is or to change it to use the Arch/Intel naming convention.TheCycoONE 14:31, 4 June 2010 (EDT)
Frugalware fundamentally different?
Arch is a fundamentally different system, being installed as a minimal base environment and expanded with pacman according to the user's choices and needs. Frugalware is installed from a DVD, with default software choices and desktop environment chosen for the user already.
I am pretty sure that some time ago I installed Frugalware from a CD (250 MB or so) and got a minimal base environment that I expanded with Pacman according to my choices and needs. --Markus00000 16:23, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

How to deal with cell phone robocalls
On Jan. 4, Marilyn Reid received a call from 909-259-5560 on her Verizon Wireless cell phone. No one answered. Every two hours or so, it happened again. The next day, four more calls came in. On Jan. 7, it was up to seven.
"I was at wits' end from the constant calls interrupting my work day," said the Punta Gorda resident. "My business clients call on that number, so I could not shut it off."
