Privacy Shades, Blinds & Window Treatments
- Opaque products to maintain privacy
- Routeless slats avoid light seepage
- Add a liner for increased opaqueness
- Layer coverings for light versatility
- Good for bed, bath & streetside rooms
Privacy blinds and shades are opaque, or non-transparent, enough to prevent view-through, even when backlit. Perfect for rooms facing the street or a neighbor, privacy shades or routeless blinds are perfect for keeping the inside of your home hidden. Some blind styles, such as woven woods, will require an added privacy liner to provide the extra opacity needed. We also recommend choosing a top down/bottom up lift option or layering your treatments, like a faux wood combined with drapery, to best balance your light control and privacy needs. While these products will block view-through, they will not necessarily block all light like our blackout shades.

"beautiful high quality"
By from
I ordered these in the Epic Crest pattern that was shown in the example. The light filtering through gives the room a nice golden glow.View this product
"color beautiful"
By painter from NJ
Well constructed. Looks great. The installation hardware and method is not great. Very exacting, not easy to measure and requires holes through the fabric. Once brackets in place, very easy to install and remove for cleaning.View this product

Server-Based Translation Solution for Lone Warriors in the Enterprise.
With its new Project Management Edition, Across focuses on the needs of an individual employee who is responsible for coordinating translations in the enterprise. In terms of its functionality, the server-based variant of the translation management system is positioned between the Standalone Version and the Small Business Edition and thus offers the following benefits:
- All relevant modules on a central platform: Project management, terminology, translation memory
- Networked, seamless collaboration with the translation provider
- Automation of recurring administrative steps
- Connection to third-party systems, e.g. editorial systems
In this way, it will be even easier and less expensive to embark on professional translation management with Across. The system grows with your needs: Should the internal translation unit expand in the future, the Project Management Edition can easily be scaled.

I think it would be some sort of heresy to have a vegan Japanese dinner and not have edamame. I did not break the rules.
These Greens with Black Sesame Sauce were super fancy-looking and super fancy-tasting. (recipe also
I also picked up a little bottle of sake. I was going to make one more dish, which called for sake in the ingredients, but ended up skipping that one. I'd never had sake before, and I'll admit this was the cheapest one at the store, but I took one little sip and didn't really like it. On the other hand, I've never been a drinker, so what do I know?

I'm trying to study my research for my 30+ CEO's and world leaders I'll be interviewing from Davos this week; but I just looked to my left and Victoria's Secret supermodel Adriana Lima is sitting next to me. We're both wearing black leggings. That's where the comparison abruptly stops. She's gorgeous and skyscraper-tall, but she's going to Geneva and I'm going to Zurich, so sadly we won't become "BFFs" on the flight.
Upon arrival tomorrow, I'll meet up with our Davos "fixer" Heinz in Zurich. Anything our crew needs, Heinz makes it happen. He's been with the FOX Business Team-Davos all four years we've covered the World Economic Forum -- Every year the largest gathering of global business leaders and political giants.

We have locomotives and carriages from the later 1800's such as the Beattie well tank of 1874, and Metropolitan Railway no 1 (1898), a unique London Chatham & Dover Railway coach (1880) and a Great Northern Rly brake third of 1890 through to BR era stock which is used for passenger rides in the Up Yard. The London & North Western Rly kitchen diner of 1901 has the finest interior of any carriage to survive from that era and is coupled to a LNWR sleeper of 1907 now in use as a Cinema Coach. Grouping stock from the GWR, LNER and LMS is on display. We have recently received LNWR 2-2-2 tender loco no. 3020 "Cornwall" on loan from the National Railway Museum. Cornwall takes the place of Castle Class 4-6-0 No. 5080 Defiant, which has returned to Tysley for proposed overhaul to mainline standards. Our Wightwick Hall 6989 and 7200 are both under restoration. Steam trains in the Down Yard, are operated on busier days using engines drawn from our large collection of industrial locomotives.
Many railways have a cattle dock but ours is still believed to be the only one with a restored cattle wagon (and cow). The weighbridge hut tells its own story and how it fits into a country goods yard. As befits a goods yard we have an extensive collection of goods vehicles including one of the most complete "sets" of BR standard goods vehicles.
In the Buffer Depot Museum are a wide variety of interesting things waiting to be discovered from a Passimeter and a Post Office railway car to a BR(S) Horse Box and an American velocipede. We have been collecting since 1962 and have a large and diverse collection of the smaller items such as signs and plates, rule books and tin plate toys.
We normally recommend that you should allow 2 to 3 hours for a visit but if you have a deep interest then this may not be long enough. If there is something that you particularly wish to see then please contact us in advance of your visit on 01296 655720 and we will do our best to help. A full list of the wheeled stock is available on the best online stockbook we know of – use the link on the left. Our smaller items are in the process of being catalogued and will be available online - one day..it is a big job!
Loco Roster
In common with other societies not all our stock is in use at the same time but we always welcome new members to assist us and are known as a friendly society. From time to time some items are hired out and may not be available on the day of your visit so it is wise to phone ahead on 01296 655720 should you wish to view a specific item and we will try to help.

Sunday afternoons are the perfect opportunity to take in ocean breezes and great music at the Mission Bay Deli, with a selection of cover bands performing each weekend at 2 p.m. On Sept. 16, the venue will host The Reflectors, a five-piece combo that performs a wide range of classic-rock tunes from Eddie Money to A Flock of Seagulls.

Hard-rock quartet Trailerpark Rockstar appears at Brick by Brick on Sept. 20. The band's members are all excellent musicians, but Eric Meyer's manic fretwork and frontman Cory Mitchell's vocal are both standouts, making for a show that's entertaining to watch and listen to. If you're a fan of harder-edged rock with a melodic flavor — particularly anthemic riff rockers — you'll want to hear Trailerpark Rockstar.
• Trailerpark Rockstar performs at 8 pm. on Thursday, Sept. 20 at Brick by Brick, 1130 Buenos Ave. 21 and up. $11. www.brickbybrick.com
Even if you're not into cover bands, a show by MC Funk, which appears at the 710 Beach Club on Sept. 24, is something you're going to want to experience. While the majority of tribute acts are of the rock variety, this seven-piece group performs the mind-bending soul and funk music of George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic. It manages to nail the beats and rhythms of their musical heroes, as well as their look. Indeed, MC Funk's frontman is a Clinton doppelganger. With an expansive set list that includes such classics as "One Nation Under A Groove" and "The Mothership Connection," this show will appeal to diehard Clinton fans or those who simply want to dance.
• MC Funk performs at 9 pm. on Monday, Sept. 24 at the 710 Beach Club, 710 Garnet Ave. 21 and up. www.710bc.com

Heroine is drably monotonous, its insights are shallow, most of the characters are caricatures and the lines that they speak border on the corny. Kareena Kapoor is a complete stunner in the movie. She steals the show by delivering a stupendous performance, feel critics.
"With Bhandarkar watermarked on every single scene of the film, Heroine is highly predictable and somewhere disappointing for those who swear by his ability to reveal the unseen facts. From the feminine-traits of a designer to a back-bitching friend, from vicious women who pass the same comments to death being a turning point for the protagonist, stereotypes successfully kill the essence of this film," writes Kanika Sikka, DNA.
"Madhur treats the theme of Heroine with extreme simplicity and unfussiness for the avid moviegoer to decipher. I am sure, the viewer would experience explicit contentment to witness the truth behind the made-up faces of the film world, the shadowy secrets that lie behind the enchanting veneer. The lifestyle, the betrayal, the promiscuousness, the inane tittle-tattle… all this and more is what is expected from a plot that covers the movie industry and it's all there in profusion in Heroine," feels Taran Adarsh, Bollywood Hungama.
"Multiple National-Award winning filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar takes vicarious pleasure in giving his audience a ring-side view of various walks of life. His Chandni Bar (2001) dealt with Mumbai dance-bars; Page-3 (2005) showed the shallow side of the media and celebrity circus," writes Meena Iyer, TOI.
"In conveying the ebbs and tides of the life of a self-obsessed, impulsive and troubled Bollywood diva, the film taps into the tropes that constitute the Bhandarkar formula. The novelty has worn off. So, all that the audience is left with is an overwhelming sense of déjà vu," writes Saibal Chatterjee, NDTV.
"The movie does a rinse-and-repeat from here on with heartbreak, love and heartbreak again. Watch the rest of the movie for more close-ups of Kareena's blood-shot eyes, her incessant break-downs and some really confusing blocks in the story," writes Roshni Devi, Koimoi.com.
"Heroine is just Madhur's unbalanced take on his heroines, with Sushmita Sen, Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Konkona Sen Sharma, among the few who get an unjust mention. Even his first choice for 'Heroine, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan isn't spared with a hint that political influence can buy anyone the state's highest honour – Padamshree," writes Sneha May Francis, Emirates 24/7.
"On the face of it, Heroine had great scope to be developed into an interesting story. But director Madhur Bhandarkar gets confused – he wants to reveal the big bad world of Bollywood to the outsiders and tell a human story at the same time. There are lose references to real controversies – a star who edits his co-actor's role, female actors partnering with a businessman to buy an IPL team when their careers are going downhill, a leaked MMS which brings ample publicity to a couple, a gay designer who is known to design saris and is a close friend to some top female actors, a star wife who decides which heroines his star husband will work with after a recent linkup and so on. The director entertains you by giving you a guessing game. You get busy trying to find out whether a character is based on a certain star or not. But that's where the fun ends," writes Suparna Thombare, Bollywood Life.
What went wrong?"Before the interval, the film is a mess up of fast-paced events. The second half, though slow, manages to bring these events into order to lead to a predictable end," Sikka adds.
"On the flip side, although the writing borrows from reality and has ample shock value, the writers could've avoided a few episodes in Mahi's story, which seem unimportant. Besides, the track involving Ranvir Shorey and his film is stretched. Also, the writers have tried to cram too many instances/episodes in the screenplay, which only elongates the run time of the film. Moreover, the film focuses more on the lows than the highs. Had the writing depicted her stardom with the same zeal as the downfall, the impact of Mahi's fall from grace would've appeared more persuasive," says Adarsh.
"And Heroine would have been crisper had it not digressed to cover every Bollywood insider account. When the maker attempts to show mainstream cinema's condescending attitude towards art-house films, precious screen time is lost. Mahi's attempt to play a prostitute and say scandalous lines are clearly attempted to woo the front-benchers but the gig lacks conviction. The music is a complete let down and even the item song Halkat Jaawani fails to give the required `rise' to proceedings," Iyer adds.
"The film could easily be written off but for Kareena's performance. As the bi-polar, erratic, insecure and vulnerable fading star, Kareena gives a superb performance. She looks beautiful, glamorous and makes Mahi her own. In fact, some of the incidents seem to be lifted straight out of Kareena's life (yes, there is an MMS scandal as well). Kareena, who has for a long time been used as a glamour quotient in Rs 100 crore films, gets a meaty role and gives it her best shot. Some of the scenes in the film, although a bit unnecessary, need courage to be enacted and it comes as a surprise when a hard-core commercial actress like Kareena agrees to do such scenes. And then, does them so convincingly," writes Shomini Sen Spicezee.
"Heroine is drably monotonous, its insights are shallow, most of the characters are caricatures and the lines that they speak border on the corny, if not on the outright ridiculous," feels Chatterjee.
"Madhur Bhandarkar may try and claim his stories to be "real" every time, but this time the writer-director is downright lazy. He, along with writers Anuradha Tiwari, Manoj Tyagi and Niranjan Iyengar, has taken page-3 stories about stars and based them around a few characters. This wouldn't have been a problem, except that the movie comes out as being too fake," feels Devi.
Kareena Kapoor gets ready for Halkat Jawani
"The place where the film scores is performances, and mind you, this can't be said for all the actors. Kareena does a good job, however tries too hard to give a powerful performance, which is very evident. Yet, for her fans, the film is a treat! Arjun does a good job. Randeep, as usual does justice to his role. Shahana Goswami is brilliant, but it is unfortunate that her role is limited. Helen has a charming role and she plays it effectively," says Sikka.
"Heroine is Kareena's film all the way and she delivers an award-worthy performance. It can be said without a shred of doubt, Heroine is her most valiant effort so far. Apparently motivated by real-life episodes, this is a role not many actresses would have taken the peril of implementing. Kareena arrests the viewer's attention from Scene A to Z. The triumph and disappointment, the innocence and conceit…, every emotion, every sentiment is projected with sheer brilliancy," feels Adarsh.
"The other characters in the movie get less screen space, but they are clearly etched nonetheless. Arjun Rampal is proficient and leaves an impression. Randeep Hooda is incredible in a brief, but significant role. The supporting cast is praiseworthy, but I'd like to make a special mention of Divya Dutta [in terrific form] and Shahana Goswami [very good]. Sanjay Suri is first-rate. Mugdha Godse is decent. Govind Namdev does well. Delnaaz Irani, as the journo, is effectual. Veteran Helen lends grace to the cameo," adds Adarsh.
"Arjun Rampal, as the confused, non-committal, playboy Aryan Khanna, gives a believable performance. It is also refreshing to see Randeep Hooda play a charming cricketer madly in love with Mahi, especially after doing a dark role in 'Jism2'. The man though, is underused. In fact, Madhur manages to cast some very talented actors like Shahana Goswami, Ranvir Shorey and Sanjay Suri in walk away cameos who ably support the film's narrative," says Sen.
"Kareena Kapoor is a complete stunner in the movie. She steals the show by delivering a stupendous performance. The best part is that Kareena manages to get into the skin of her character Mahi Arora and makes it look real. Heroine seems to be Bebo's show all the way," says Nabanita, OneIndia.
"Kareena is in virtually every scene in the film. She is particularly good when she dons the no-makeup look and allows herself to go with the flow of the emotions. But when she is called upon to strut around like a heroine, she is, surprisingly, far less convincing," writes Chatterjee.
"Kareena Kapoor owns the movie as the, er, bipolar actress Mahi. As much as you would like to appreciate her ability to showcase the mood swings behind the camera, her character badly suffers from hackneyed writing. Arjun Rampal is alright as Aryan with Randeep Hooda bettering him as the suave Angad. Divya Dutta does well in her uni-dimensional role as the PR agent. Shahana Goswami and Ranvir Shorey are very good in their small roles," writes Devi.
"If anything, Madhur's movie can boast of some impressive performances from his supporting cast. Randeep Hooda nails the part as a Yuvi-styled cricketer, with a maturity rare in Bollywood. He's unafraid to play into the hands of his hyper girlfriend, who is reluctant to be his anchor. There's also Arjun Rampal, who despite being given a one-dimensional character, succeeds in lending it sincerity and charm," says Francis.
"Shahana Goswami, Divya Dutta and Ranveer Shorey are exemplary, and their efforts seem genuinely engaging, brilliantly camouflaging any attempt at reducing their characters into caricatures. And, last but not the least, Kareena Kapoor doesn't disappoint. She's seen earnestly puffing few hundred cigarettes, glugging many stiff drinks, popping anti-depressant pills, crying copious tears, shrieking uninhibitedly, dancing lavishly and romancing passionately. She's versatile, yet not honest enough to win over our hearts," adds Francis.
Kareena Kapoor smokes in a scene from Heroine
"My heart goes out to Kareena Kapoor, who carries the film on her solitary shoulders. She looks ethereal and makes the most of whatever has been offered to her in terms of her character. She brings depth to the role of a moody and emotionally unstable fading star. Some scenes are over the top and that affects her performance too. But Kareena especially shines in some scenes – when she is completely down and out and just nods in agreement to her manager, when she comes face to face with her ex-boyfriend and when she watches the TV to find out whether her publicity stunt has worked. But a clichéd script, some clumsy dialogues (by Niranjan Iyengar) and naive direction let her down," says Thombare.
"Director Madhur Bhandarkar made his movie from a magnum opus to a monstrous blob that has too many leaks to be fixed. And the leaden script is of no help. Madhur should have focused on a few aspects of Mahi's life instead of thrusting everything into a 3 hour long haze with alcohol, psychological problems, mummy-issues, role mongering, lesbian relationship… Salim-Sulaiman's music is nice with Halkat Jawani, Saiyaan and Heroine being the noteworthy songs. Editor Devendra Murdeshwar has done a passable job. Cinematography by Mahesh Limaye is good," writes Devi.
"Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar does make an impressionable start to 'Heroine', but he's unable to sustain it for 2-hours-and-30-minutes, leaving us muddled with clichés and caricatures. His attempt at exposing the underbelly of the big, bad world of Bollywood is flawed with stereotypes," writes Francis.
"It's Madhur's world of contradictions, with realism and fiction finding an insensible blend. 'Heroine' remains his most unoriginal take on the film industry, and uncovers, if anything, his imperfect, creative limitations," Francis adds.
"Bhandarkar makes sure he incorporates all the clichés – some that he has already used in his previous movies – a gay friend, a bisexual director sleeping in return for a favour, MMS scandal, heroines dating cricketers, struggling female actors sleeping around with big stars to rise in their career, philandering male stars and their manipulative star wives. Now that is the image of Bollywood in the eyes of the common man anyway! Bhandarkar simply affirms the stereotypes instead of adding a new dimension or depth to these impressions. Cutting the paraphernalia and sticking to Mahi's story would have done the film a whole lot of good," says Thombare.
'Heroine' Kareena with Heroine cast
"On the whole, Heroine is yet another hard-hitting motion picture from Madhur Bhandarkar. For persistently choosing women-centric themes, for consistently winning national acclaim and most significantly, magnetizing moviegoers in large numbers to view his cinema, the efforts of the maverick film-maker deserve to be lauded. Watch Heroine for Madhur's imposing direction, for Kareena's superlative performance, watch it also for its fearless, inspiring and enlightening storyline divulging the scandalous realities of the movie industry. Try not to miss it!" feels Adarsh.
"Heroine is Kareena's Dirty Picture. The actress has shown ample cleavage and partaken in some really intimate bedroom scenes. Definitely worth a dekho!" concludes Iyer.
"Does 'Heroine' work? Yes, but only because of Kareena Kapoor. From doing the raunchy act in 'Halkat Jawaani' to the scenes where she is battling depression and popping pills, to the I-don't-care-attitude of a confident actress, Kareena makes Mahi memorable and lovable," says Sen.
"Kareena Kapoor does a good job and, heck, you even get to see her in a pseudo lesbian scene along with other steamy scenes. If that's enough to drag you to see Heroine, go ahead. Give it a miss otherwise," says Devi.

Neighbor dissatisfaction with the removal of trees on Springside Chestnut Hill Academy's West Willow Grove Avenue campus prompted the Chestnut Hill Community Association to delay support for three variances the school is seeking to improve its athletic fields.
Board members asked the school instead to engage neighbors in discussions about replacing the trees.
The school's plan was presented to the CHCA board at its meeting on Thursday, July 26.
Near neighbor Peter Marvin of West Hartwell Lane told the board that he and his neighbors were concerned that the school had not made an adequate commitment to provide tree screening along their property line to block the view of new bleachers and a dugout planned by the school.
"A dialogue with the school has only just started," Marvin said, but added that no assurances had been offered the neighbors.
He told the board that he was not necessarily opposed to the plan but wanted to make sure the school was committed to providing that screening.
Springside Chestnut Hill trustee Henry O'Reilly, who represented the school and presented the plan, said the school had reached out to neighbors, and that changes had been made to the plan within the last 24 hours, when the issue had first been addressed. O'Reilly added that the dugouts the neighbors are taking issue with have always been there, something the neighbors said was not true.
"We were told it was something we could count on," one neighbor said, referring to the screening.
Board member Richard Snowden suggested that the neighbors and the school work together to formulate a community agreement, similar to the one in place between Snowden's company, Bowman Properties, and the near neighbors surrounding his development project on the former Magarity Ford site.
"This is one of the streets that has a lot of 19th century character to it and it's very important to the historic district," Snowden said in support of the project.
Near neighbor Peg Wellington, of West Hartwell Lane, said she was "devastated" when she saw that the trees had been removed.
"I'm devastated for my neighbors where the trees came down," she said. "It's awful – it totally changes the spirit of who we are."
Marvin, voicing the concerns of the neighbors, asked that the board not support approval of a variance until their concerns are addressed.
Board member Elizabeth Bales, the parent of a Springside student, said that she, too, wants to support the school and was sensitive to the time constraint to finish the project in time for the fall semester, but said she couldn't vote in favor of support until she'd seen renderings of the proposed buildings.
Instead of forcing Springside Chestnut Hill to wait another month until the next board meeting, the board instead voted to grant power to the Executive Committee, which would see all of the necessary community agreements and renderings and make a determination to support a variance on its own. The motion to do so was passed unanimously.

PENSION CRISIS: Central Pa. municipalities, authorities hanging on
The Pennsylvania Public Employment Retirement Commission in July issued its latest report on the state of municipal and public authority defined-benefit pension funds.
The total unfunded actuarial accrued liabilities, using 2011 data, are about $6.9 billion, said Bernard Kozlowski, deputy director for programs and technology. Philadelphia makes up about $4.7 billion of that total, he said.
Plans deemed "severely distressed" have pension fund assets of less than 50 percent of liabilities, according to PERC.
Twenty-six municipal plans across the commonwealth fall in that category. Scranton, which has long garnered the public spotlight because of its fiscally distressed status in the state's Act 47 program, is among the severely distressed. Its fund ratio on pensions is 34 percent, down from 47 percent two years ago.
The "moderately distressed" plans are less than 70 percent funded, and "minimally distressed" plans are less than 90 percent funded. Of the 158 Central Pennsylvania pension plans included in the report, 60 fell in the minimally distressed category.
Here is a breakdown of municipalities and public authorities in the report by county:
• Cumberland: 8 minimally distressed, 2 moderately distressed, 12 not distressed. Most distressed in the county: Mt. Holly Springs (67 percent)
• Dauphin: 8 minimally distressed, 1 moderately distressed, 13 not distressed. Most distressed in the county: Susquehanna Township (61 percent)
• Lancaster: 21 minimally distressed, 26 not distressed. Most distressed in the county: Strasburg (70 percent)
• Lebanon: 7 minimally distressed, 2 moderately distressed, 1 severely distressed, 13 not distressed. Most distressed in the county: Swatara Township (42 percent)
• York: 16 minimally distressed, 3 moderately distressed, 25 not distressed. Most distressed in the county: York (62 percent)

Declassified military report reveals extreme solar storm likely detonated mines during Vietnam War
Astronomy - November 27, 2018, 3:43:59 PM EST
Nearing the end of the Vietnam War, the US military deployed more than 2,000 destructor mines (DST) in an effort to "interdict trains, trucks, and other land vehicles." However, a US Task Force flying near the naval minefield on August 4, 1972, observed dozens of random unexplained explosions over the course of just 30 seconds, at the time prompting a military investigation. Now, a declassified US Navy report reveals that extraterrestrial forces likely sparked the mysterious phenomenon.

Justin Bieber was booed big time at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas.
The "Beauty and the Beat" singer took the stage Sunday to accept the first-ever Milestone Award, presented to him for being the first 19-year-old with five No. 1 singles on the Billboard 200. He beat out the night's big winner, Taylor Swift, for the fan honor, as well as Bruno Mars, who went home empty-handed. Bieber had already been on stage twice to perform his "Take You" and "#thatPOWER" with will.i.am, as young audience members let out yelps and screams.
However, as Bieber went to accept the award, he was greeted with a chorus of boos as well as screams. It took him a while to collect himself. (It was hard to read his facial expression under dark shades despite Madonna's reference to "pretentious sunglasses.") Appearing dumbfounded, the Canadian-born singer finally took the mike, then stood mute for a very long pause to let the audience pipe down before he made his case.
"I'm 19 years old. I think I'm doing a pretty good job. And basically, from my heart, I really just want to say it should really be about the music. It should be about the craft, the craft that I'm making," he said as presenter Cee Lo Green nervously fanned himself with the envelope behind the Biebs.
"This is not a gimmick. I'm an artist and I should be taken seriously and all this other bull should not be spoken of. I want to thank my manager, Scooter Braun. I want to thank my family at home. I want to thank my mother, my father. I want to thank Jesus Christ."
The teenager then removed his glasses and cracked a small smile. "Mom, I love you so much. Dad, I love you. Little brother and sister, I love you so much. Thank you guys so much. Fans, you're incredible."
The Ministry believes the audience was rejecting Bieber's ridiculous low-crotch leather pants.
The show's host, Tracy Morgan, returned later in the show to scold the audience after Swift took home her audience of the year award.
"Hey don't be booing nobody in here. This ain't the Apollo," he said.
But the discordant reception didn't leave Bieber nonplussed for long.
"2 performances and 2 awards. Grateful to my #Beliebers . Our awards. Love u," he
after the show,
, "I love music, my fans, my family, my friends.. And I love The Lord."
And wil.i.am gave him a shout-out, tweeting: "the army we had was sick ... we rocked it ... @justinbieber: @iamwill we killed it bro. Love u man. #thatpower."
Bieber, who also took home the Billboard Music Award for top male artist and top social artist, was snubbed early this year at the behemoth Grammy Awards. He's been booed recently at a New York Knicks game, at a football game in his native Canada and by his own fans for keeping them waiting too long at a concert during his "Believe" world tour.
He apparently polls unfavorably across party lines too.
Do you think the Biebs deserved to be booed? Tell us in comments.

The Dugout Doctors have a story with the 10 reasons Coop got canned.
Let's look:
10. Foolishly relying upon Roy Oswalt. Surely Cooper could have had the foresight to see that Oswalt is a paper-tiger. Sure, the first eight seasons of his career were amazing, but Cooper should have seen through Oswalt's decade of dominance and realized that he was on course for a return to earth in 2009.
This may be true. But Roy has been the ace for years. Not relying on him is more ignorant than trying to anticipate a down year. If Cooper had not run Roy out there, he would have been fired months ago. Verdict? Invalid.
9. Bringing Mike Hampton in for a Reunion Tour. What was Cooper thinking here? Hampton was ten years removed from his Cy Young runner-up season with the Astros in 1999 and five years removed from the last time he pitched over 100 innings in a season, and he gave Hampton a spot in the starting rotation.
Ed Wade brought Mike Hampton in. Had Coop not trotted him out every five days, it would have made the GM mad, and thus resulted in an earlier departure. This isn't Coop's fault. Verdict? Invalid.
8. Playing Miguel Tejada at Shortstop. Surely Cooper should have realized that Tejada has lied about his age, lied about using performance enhancing drugs, and was never that good of a defender even in his prime. Why did Cooper sign Tejada and put him at shortstop?
Tejada has had, arguably, his best year in at least three seasons, and was - at one point - hitting .380. Cooper had to put the "extra-curricular activities" aside. Cooper didn't sign Tejada. Ed Wade traded for him. Verdict? Invalid.
7. Failure to Develop Minor League Talent. Cooper failed where his predecessors did not – he never could develop young talent into legitimate major league players, relying instead upon cast-offs and failed prospects from other organizations. The Astros next manager really needs to develop talent throughout the system better.
Sure, it does not seem as though Cooper gave two craps about starting Maysonet, Johnson, or Manzella (the latter two after the Astros were well out of the race). But there has not been much minor league talent to develop, of late. Wesley Wright was a "failed prospect" from the Dodgers. Drew Locke was a "failed prospect." But I doubt the manager has the ability to look at the Double-A roster and order a player to be brought up to Round Rock. Verdict? Invalid.
6. Letting Lance Berkman Get Off to a Bad Start. Somehow, someway, Lance Berkman has never had any trouble succeeding in the early months of the season until this year. Last year, Lance was one of the elite hitters in the National League. This year, he was so-so. Shame on you, Cecil Cooper.
This is the first "reason" that can be attributed to Cooper. Lance was awful in April and May. However, since June 1, Berkman is hitting .296/.419/.533. The fact that he did not have a history of poor starts is exactly why he should have been left in the lineup. It's not Coop's fault that Lance had a career-worst year. Verdict? Invalid.
5. Signing an Aging and Inadequate Catcher to Play Full-time in the National League. There was a time when Ivan Rodriguez was an elite defensive catcher who called games very well and could hit a bit. He is no longer any of those things, and Cooper should have known it.
Again, this one's on Ed Wade. But we should give credit to Wade for spinning Pudge for two prospects when a bag of squid would have been an acceptable trade. Verdict? Invalid.
4. Putting Together the Oldest Lineup in the National League.
How are the Astros supposed to succeed when Cecil Cooper sent out a lineup everyday with an average age of 31.7 years old, the worst in the league? Plus, some of their oldest players were at key defensive positions. I would have expected Cooper to manage the roster better.
Now, could Cooper have managed the roster better? Absolutely, but if the reason he got fired is "putting together the NL's oldest lineup," then that's on Ed Wade, as well. Maysonet should have been at 2B most of the season, but he wasn't. The guy who made $5.5 million was. Verdict? Semi-valid.
3. Allowing Russ Ortiz and Felipe Paulino to Start a Combined 28 Games. These guys went 5-16 with an ERA over 5.75 and a WHIP over 1.60. How did Cooper not make sure he had better pitchers in camp before starting the season with these guys.
Felipe Paulino has been good since he stopped getting jerked around from the bullpen to the rotation, from Round Rock to Houston. So Paulino's year is directly attributed to Cooper. Russ Ortiz went through the same thing - getting jerked from bullpen to rotation. Coop's management of the pitching staff is one of the Main Reasons he got canned. Verdict? Valid.
2. Stocking the Bench with Jeff Keppinger, Chris Coste, Humberto Quintero, Jason Michaels, and Darin Erstad. If I had the oldest starting lineup in baseball, I sure would hope to have some solid bats on my bench. But between these five reserves, the only ones with 100 or more plate appearances after the starters, the Astros have a batting average under .250, an on-base percentage under .300, and an OPS well under the league average. I hope Cooper plans to have more depth at his next stop.
Again, attributed to Ed Wade. Cooper can only play the guys he has on the roster. Verdict? Invalid.
1. Playing in the NL's Toughest Division with the NL's Thinnest Roster. Facts are facts, people: the NL Central has six teams, which is more than any other division. So, to compete in the NL Central, a team needs to be better than five teams, not just four or three. And when three of those teams are the young up-and-coming Milwaukee Brewers, the cash-flush Chicago Cubs, and the ingeniously-run St. Louis Cardinals, you gotta come to the field with more than just Carlos Lee and Miguel Tejada. You have to have guys who can pinch-hit, who can get on base, who can field the ball, and who can pitch six innings a game without giving the game away. The Astros didn't have that this year.
Again, Cooper can only play the hand he was dealt. Saying that Coop got fired because of the division is really attributing blame to Bud Selig and alignment. Verdict? Invalid.
I'll say this. This is more like an assembly of reasons why the Astros were a wreck this season, and if the extension of that is firing Cecil Cooper, okay. Cooper was guilty of Starting Quarterback Syndrome (SQS), in which you play the guys who make the most money, not the guys more deserving of taking the field. ("Who's the Starting QB? Player X, because he makes $10 million, and Player Y is playing for league minimum.") But these ten are not the reasons that Cooper was fired.
UPDATE: If this article was intended to show that the Astros are blaming Cooper for front office problems, then this is genius. And I withdraw any intended criticism.

Is it normal/common to bring spouse to on campus visit/interview for postdoctoral position. We are in Europe and potential postdoc campus is in US. Therefore I would like to my spouse come with me. Of course not to participate in official staff as interview or dinner but to spend some time in the city after the interview.
I dont know if it is common practice, if they will arrange housing for me I have to tell them.
Thanks for opinions

A Lovell Kind Of Day
12 September 2009
For the third day in a row, Andy Lovell (New Orleans, La.) on USA-136 Rougarou triumphed over the Melges 32 U.S. National Championship fleet at the 2009 Rolex Big Boat Series hosted by the St. Francis Yacht Club. Seated second overall is Don Jesberg (San Francisco, Calif.) on USA-162 Viva and in third is Stephen Pugh (Sausalito, Calif.) on USA-158 Taboo.
An additional two races took place under gloomy skies. Heavy clouds and light breezes set the stage for a great start to race one. The fleet bunched up at the committee boat end with Kahn taking a way right lane, the remainder chose to stay left of Alcatraz, sailing up the city front as they headed to the mark located just shy of the south Golden Gate Bridge Tower. Philippe Kahn (San Francisco, Calif.) finally merged with the fleet dueling with Lovell for the lead. Lovell rounded first with Kahn hot on his heels in second. The two drag raced to the bottom along the city front. At the mark, Lovell's team struggled with the take down, allowing Kahn to catch-up. He and Kahn rounded simultaneously, dead even for the lead. As the two headed back upwind, disaster struck for Kahn. A broken turnbuckle forced him to not only retire from the race, but the day. Pat Hughes (Deephaven, Minn.) on USA-125 Melvin and Jesberg were happy to dual for second. Another time around placed Jesberg finishing in second, Lovell long gone for the win, Hughes placed third.
As the day progressed the clouds started to clear with patchy skies for race 2. Once more it looked like Lovell knew exactly where to go to get the upper hand on the Melges 32 fleet in San Francisco. A long upwind beat raced in between Alcatraz and Angel Island put him out front once more, this time with Pugh giving him the best challenge for the lead, keeping close for second. Around the mark and down for the finish Lovell took the win, Pugh finishing second and Jesberg in third.
The final day of the event takes place on Sunday with its classic bay tour racing. Four points separate Lovell from second place Jesberg. Four points further back in the standings is Pugh for third.
1.) Andy Lovell, 1-2-1-5-1-1 = 11
2.) Don Jesberg, 3-1-3-3-2-3 = 15
3.) Stephen Pugh, 2-5-4-2-4-2 = 19
4.) Pat Hughes, 4-4-4-2-3-4 = 24
5.) Philippe Kahn, 5-3-2-1-7/DNF-7/DNF = 25
6.) John Porter, 7/DNF- 7/DNF- 7/DNF- 7/DNF- 7/DNF- 7/DNF = 42
In addition to the Photo Gallery placed online by the International Melges 32 Class Association, the 45th running of the Rolex Big Boat Series boasts a great many media outlets to help you watch and enjoy this legendary event.

In the spirit of the Diversity in Science carnivals, I note that Wikipedia's women earth scientists category is considered "underpopulated". And, bizarrely, there do not appear to be any categories devoted to highlighting minority earth scientists at all.
I have absolutely no idea what it takes to get a new category past the relevant Wikipedia throng; I suspect it's not hard. And it is definitely dead simple to add articles to an existing category – I just did it for about a dozen women earth scientists. All you have to do is copy and paste a little code snippet. Frankly, Wikipedia has a much bigger audience than the science blogosphere. So even if you don't have time to write a fullblown profile of your own for the carnival, why not take a couple minutes to flag one or two existing Wikipedia profiles?

Back in 2000 I learned of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and used it to obtain my great grandfather's naturalization file. I was so excited at the amount of material I received (including a never before seen photo of Gustav Sporowski) that I told the director of my local Family History Center about it. She wasn't aware of the FOIA and it's application to genealogical records and was keen to make a copy of the cover letter to share with other patrons. She handed the letter back to me and with a smile said "that's a real genealogy gem!" and she proceeded to pin it on the center's bulletin board.
I remember standing there and thinking, 'it really is a genealogy gem, but there's got to be a better way to tell other genealogists about it so they can benefit.' And so the seed was sown for the future Genealogy Gems Podcast - even though podcasts didn't yet exist!
Over the years genealogists FOIA experiences have varied greatly. I've heard everything from stories of joy and excitement at the receiving of a document package like mine, to the doom and gloom and frustration of interaction with the federal government bureaucracy that ultimately lead nowhere.
On November 28, 2011 the National Archives Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) - the federal Freedom of Information Act 9FOIA) Ombudsman - launched a new online case management system intended to manage the requests for assistance that FOIA requesters and agencies bring to OGIS. The goal is that the tool will both streamline OGIS's work and increase transparency of its operations. Here's the scoop from the recently released National Archives press release:
Washington, D.C. . . More than 1,200 FOIA requesters from 48 states and 13 foreign countries turned to OGIS for assistance in its first two years as FOIA Ombudsman. The service that OGIS provides ranges from checking the status of delayed FOIA requests to facilitating resolutions of disputes involving complex database requests. While OGIS has successfully resolved hundreds of cases, the Office recognizes the need for greater collaboration with agencies and a more systematic way of collecting information about its work. The OAS – which is supported by and integrated into a re-launched and expanded OGIS website – will help the Office achieve these goals.
"OGIS was created to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and federal agencies," said OGIS Director Miriam Nisbet. "As we began our work, we realized that we needed an increased web presence to both manage our cases and educate requesters about the FOIA process. Our new OGIS Access System will help us achieve these goals."
OAS is among the first generation of federal government online services operating in "the cloud." This approach allows OGIS to launch a number of scalable online services, including:
· A searchable library of FOIA terms and concepts
· An online submission process for those requesting OGIS's assistance;
· The ability to review the status of a case with OGIS and communicate directly with OGIS staff; and
· The capability to engage with the public on ways to improve FOIA, which also is within the OGIS mission.
OGIS selected Active Network, Inc as the provider of the OAS integrated software endeavor. The Active Network, Inc. is a leading provider of organization-based cloud computing applications.
