AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The second shooting in two days at a Georgia college Monday left a student with a life-threatening gunshot wound to the head and prompted authorities to pledge to bolster security at the school.
A 21-year-old man was taken into custody and was being called a person of interest in Monday's shooting, Richmond County Sheriff's Sgt. Monica Belser said in a news release. The man has not been charged, Belser said, and police have not publicly identified him.
Monday's shooting led to an hourslong lockdown of Paine's campus, about 140 miles east of Atlanta. The school's sprawling 57-acre campus is just a few miles from the city's downtown area, as well as the Augusta National Golf Club where the annual Masters tournament is played. Authorities also locked down nearby Georgia Regents University, which houses the university's hospital, and nearby public schools.
The shooter and the gunshot victim were likely involved in a fight prior to the shooting, Belser said, without releasing any details.
The victim was found on the third floor of an academic and administrative building with a gunshot wound to the head. He was alert, conscious and communicating with deputies when he was taken from campus, sheriff's officials said in a statement Monday afternoon. The officials initially said the man had suffered a non-life-threatening injury.
Witnesses identified the man now in custody and authorities found him during a search of campus dormitories, Belser said.
The shooting was the second on Paine's campus in two days. A bullet traveled through a wall on Sunday, slightly injuring a student with debris, Belser said.
Paine College, a private school, enrolls just more than 800 students. College officials said on their social media accounts that the campus remained closed to the public after the lockdown was lifted and that classes were expected to resume at 8 a.m. Tuesday.
The Richmond County Sheriff's Office will be working with Paine College Police to bolster security on campus after the two shootings, Belser said. Calls and emails to the Paine's campus safety department weren't returned Monday.

Just prior to the recent election in the United States, Cardinal-elect Raymond Burke repeated in an interview a position which is not only consistent with longstanding Catholic teaching, but which expresses a common sense response to the murder of 50 million children in the United States alone since Roe vs. Wade. He said we cannot vote for those who would allow this massacre to continue.
I recently read a column which actually tried to portray Cardinal-elect Burke's statement as being at odds with the Magisterium.
The author started the article by describing the statement as a "command … that Catholics vote Tea-publican in 2010."
First of all, if the political parties in America had swapped their positions on abortion, not a word of the message of Cardinal-elect Burke would have changed. The reason is that he is not talking about one or another party; he is talking about every party. He is not advocating for one or another candidate; he is articulating a standard for every candidate. He is not seeking to influence one particular election; he is teaching the principles that guide every election.
The author of the column I read quotes the Second Vatican Council's statement that "The Church and the political community in their own fields are autonomous and independent from each other." He then apparently cannot recognize it when the Church exercises her role in her particular autonomous and independent field, namely, to speak the moral truth, regardless of whether it helps or hurts – or appears to endorse or oppose – any particular candidate or party.
Yet there is one mistake the author makes that is even worse. He thinks abortion is a "disappearing" issue and has "a vanishing political future." Did he miss the debate over abortion in health care? Or perhaps he missed the statistics released after the election (by The Polling Company) indicating that 27 percent of voters said abortion funding in the health care law affected their vote and they voted for candidates who opposed the health care law while just 4 percent said abortion funding in the health care law affected their vote and they voted for candidates who favored the law.
The polling also indicates that thirty percent of all voters said that abortion "affected" their vote with 22% of all voters backing pro-life candidates and only eight percent saying they supported pro-abortion candidates - giving pro-life candidates a net pro-life advantage of 14 percent among all voters. Examined another way, of the Americans who voted based on the issue of abortion, 73 percent picked pro-life candidates while just 27 percent supported abortion advocates.
It's hardly accurate to portray abortion as a "vanishing" issue.
And one more point. We have to stop abusing theology to rationalize our lack of courage to end abortion. Abortion is ripping the arms and legs off of babies and crushing their heads. The abortionists themselves call it "dismemberment" and "decapitation." There can be no neutrality here, and to imply that Church documents say any different is simply an insult to the Church.

The Flower Fields of Carlsbad, Calif., opened to visitors last week but rain and cold weather have kept the attraction's famed ranunculus from opening up.
"Due to weather conditions we've been having lately, the flowers aren't fully bloomed," spokeswoman Shannon Moore said Wednesday. "Right now they're just buds. In about two weeks, they should be fully in bloom."
The working farm opened Friday and will remain open until May 12. The Giant Tecolote Ranunculus planted on 50 acres draws about 120,000 photo-snapping visitors to Carlsbad Ranch each year. The showy flowers in the buttercup family, which grow to be about 3 feet tall, bloom crimson, pink, yellow and white and are planted in color patterns each year.
There's also a sweet pea maze; an American flag made of red, white and blue petunias, a cymbidium orchid greenhouse; and tractor wagon rides ($6 for adults, $3 for children). If you want to create your own flower fields at home, the ranch offers educational and demonstration sessions, too.

ASUS GTX 660 DirectCU II TOP Review
Just a few short weeks ago NVIDIA delivered the GTX 660Ti to the world, proving that the scalable Kepler architecture could indeed be used to power the mid range and with its GK106 core in the largest segment of the video card pie. The $299 price point and lower is the largest segment of that pie and has been a price point the Kepler architecture has not reached successfully until now. The GTX 660Ti got close at $299 but realistically was not going to reach the $250 range. Now just three weeks after the GTX 660Ti dropped the GTX 660 is here to fill that void and deliver gaming performance to the masses at a more appealing sub-$250 price point with reference models starting at $229. At this low price point you still get all of the features and capabilities of of NVIDIA's Kepler architecture including 3DVision, PhysX, GPU Boost, Adaptive VSync, and TXAA - a new anti-aliasing algorithm designed to reduce temporal aliasing. Having looked at the entire Kepler product stack so far from the top of the line dual and single GPU cards with the GTX 690 and GTX 680 as well as the more affordable GTX 670 its clear to see the strategy to bring a card to each segment.
The GTX 660 is equipped with NVIDIA's all new GK106 core using the same GPC/SMX setup that has proven so effective in the upper end GK104. Packed with 960 CUDA cores clocked at 980MHz from the factory and able to run 2GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 1502MHz (6008MHz effective) through a 192-bit bus, the GTX 660 is targeted squarely at a the 1920x1080 resolution gaming crowd. When compared to previous generation non-DX11 and even NVIDIA's own Fermi-class DX11 cards, the GTX 660 is going to offer an incredible jump in performance and visual capabilities when moving from a DX10 card. As most game developers make the move to DX11, hardware will need to keep up allowing the end user the ability enjoy all the effects the games have to offer. With many free-to-play titles already making the move to DX11, the market for the sub-$250 price point is ready and waiting to take advantage of the latest DX11 capable hardware, including the GTX 660. With the strong overclocking capabilities of the Kepler architecture, many of the board partners will be releasing factory overclocked cards with improved voltage controls, better PCBs, and much improved cooling.
ASUS' GTX 660 DirectCU II TOP is, pardon the pun, ASUS' top end card in its GTX 660 product stack using its own Digi+VRM design, Super Alloy Power components, and impressive Direct CU II cooling to deliver a card that will make it reliably to the next upgrade cycle and beyond. Pricing for the TOP version will be right under the $250 price point at $249. Knowing where the GTX 660 is targeting the performance, testing should prove interesting.
Closer Look:
The GTX 660 uses the full scale implementation of NVIDIA's 28nm GK106 Kepler SMX architecture introduced with the GTX 680. As such this design is the pinnacle product for the GK106 core. This implementation on the GTX 660 features three Graphics Processing Clusters (GPC) with shared access to the L2 cache, five SMX units, each with 192 CUDA cores (960 total), 80 texture units, and 24 ROPs. Base clock speeds for the reference version come in at 980MHz with a boost clock of 1033MHz on the GK106 core. Clock speeds on ASUS DirectCUII TOP are significantly higher with a base clock of 1072MHz and a boost clock 104+MHz higher than the reference version at 1137MHz. The memory subsystem of the GTX 660 supports mixed density modules allowing 2GB of GDDR5 memory to be used instead of 1.5GB through the 3 x 64-bit (192-bit) memory controller. Memory clock speed will remain unchanged from that of the GTX 660Ti at 6008MHz effective. GK106 will support GPU Boost technology from NVIDIA, which allows the GPU core clock speeds to run over and above the factory defined base clock speed so long as the TDP of 140W is not exceeded.
Externally the ASUS packaging mirrors what we saw with the GTX 660Ti with the main focus targeted towards the feature set of the GTX 660. First and foremost is that this version of the GTX 660 from ASUS is the DirectCUII TOP factory overclocked variant equipped with a heat pipe direct contact cooling solution successfully employed from the top to the bottom of the ASUS Kepler-based product stack. The GPU model is clearly stated along with the large 2GB frame buffer, ASUS Digi+VRM with Super Alloy Power (SAP)components, and that ASUS own GPU Tweak overclocking and monitoring utility can be used with the GTX 660 DirectCUII TOP. The back side of the package expands on what the feature set brings to the table and how the DCUII cooling solution is 20% cooler than reference designs and that ASUS Digi+VRM and SAP feature set runs with 30% less power system generated noise, runs 15% more efficiently, and has the ability to extend logevity over the reference design by two and a half times.
The inner package is black in color and has the ASUS logo embossed in gold. Internally ASUS has moved away from a full foam block cut out to fit the GPU and uses a more cost and environmentally friendly cardboard enclosure with only a small amount of plastic strecth wrap to hold the GPU in place. It is surprisingly effective at holding the GTX 660 DirectCU II in place during shipment. The bundle of accessories is slim to say the least but really at this price point you get all that you will need. Included are the Quick setup guide, driver disk, and a DVI to VGA adapter. Additional power connections are not needed since the GTX 660 DirectCUII TOP uses just a single 6-pin PCIe power connection supplied on just about every power supply over the past few years. Grabbing the latest drivers from NVIDIA's website will ensure you get the latest compatibility and game fixes.
The GTX 660Ti proved to be a card that could handle 1920x1080 gaming with high settings and even deliver some 5760x1080 surround gaming when the in-game settings were reduced to the medium/high level. The GTX 660 will have no illusions of surround gaming on its own and is targeted squarely at the 1920x1080 resolution where the majority of gamers are now playing. Let's see what ASUS has for us with this highly binned GTX 660 DirectCU II TOP.

Honduras tribunal: 4 officers guilty in killing
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — A Honduran tribunal has convicted four police officers in the 2011 killing of the son of the president of Honduras National Autonomous University and his friend, a case that set off a campaign to clean up the Central American nation's corruption-plagued national force.
The tribunal found two of the officers guilty of firing the shots that killed university president Julieta Castellanos' 22-year-old son and a 23-year-old friend. The other officers were found guilty of masterminding the slayings. All face up to 40 years in prison.
The young men were last seen after being stopped at a police checkpoint outside Tegucigalpa. Their bodies were found the next day.
Castellanos has led a crusade since then to overhaul the National Police and fire officers involved in drug trafficking, murder and kidnapping.

South Carolina voters will elect two U.S. senators in the fall of 2014, and the races are beginning to take shape.
Richard Cash, an Upstate businessman who ran for Congress in 2010, will visit North Charleston on Saturday as he gears up his GOP primary challenge against Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Cash announced his candidacy in April and will hold his first Lowcountry event at 7 p.m. in Northwoods Baptist Church.
Both Graham and U.S. Sen. Tim Scott are up for election next year, and Cash said he chose to run against Graham because Graham is more moderate.
"Lindsey Graham has an inside-the-beltway mentality," Cash said Thursday. "Philosophically, Senator Graham is a moderate, and I'm a conservative, and of course, Senator Scott is a conservative."
Graham's campaign spokesman, Tate Zeigler, took issue with that, saying Graham has been a "strong fiscal, social and national security conservative with the record to back it up. … The country is facing extraordinary problems, and Senator Graham is a conservative problem-solver willing to tackle tough issues."
Cash ran for the 3rd Congressional District seat in 2010 and finished second to Jeff Duncan in a GOP runoff. "The main thing I learned (from that race) was the power and importance of just everyday people who are involved on the grass-roots level," Cash said.
At this point, both Scott and Graham appear well positioned to win next year, Winthrop University political scientist Scott Huffmon said.
While some tea party members and conservatives don't like Graham, "the fact is, in the mainstream of the Republican Party, Lindsey Graham remains popular," Huffmon said. "He has a strong base, and he has an enormous ($5.3 million) war chest."
Scott was appointed recently by Gov. Nikki Haley to fill two years of the term held by former U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint — an appointment made with the understanding that Scott would run for the office in 2014.
If Scott wins, he would face voters again in 2016, when DeMint's six-year term was to expire. He also would become the first African-American to win a statewide race in South Carolina in more than 125 years.
Huffmon said he didn't expect Scott to attract any serious Republican challenger — unlike Graham.
Besides Cash, Graham's possible primary challengers include Nancy Mace, a businesswoman who also was the first female to graduate from The Citadel, and state Sen. Lee Bright of Spartanburg.
On the Democratic side, Columbia businessman Jay Stamper has created a campaign website and raised $14,274, including $12,000 of his own money, according to federal filings. Stamper's website says he plans to seek Graham's seat.
Other potential Democratic Senate candidates have been talking with S.C. Democratic Party Chairman Jamie Harrison but have not publicly announced their plans, party Executive Director Amanda Loveday said.
Filing for the offices does not open until March.
Huffmon said one interesting angle to the upcoming elections will be how often Scott and Graham campaign together, because some of Scott's most vocal GOP supporters also might be those most hostile to Graham.
"The spice of South Carolina politics will make this a magical stew for every political watcher out there," he said.

Saturday Night Fever: 30th Anniversery Edition (US - BD)
You can tell by the way Gabe uses his walk, he's a ladies man, no time to talk
Tony Manero (John Travolta) is just another troubled New York youth with a dead end job every day of the week, but when Saturday rolls around he transforms into a dancing god at the local dance club, 2001 Odyssey. Not known for his polite gumption, Tony quickly dumps his usual dance partner when he sees Stephanie (Karen Lynn Gorney), and quickly takes to urging the cold and conceited girl to take him on. While practicing for an upcoming competition the duo and their friends undergo massive emotional hardships which will change them permanently.
The dance movie subgenre is fairly maligned in my mind, thanks to the pitiful efforts of popular entries like Flashdance and Step Up, but this overarching approach to genre is critically detrimental. The case of Saturday Night Fever is an important one for me to remember, because it is still a genuinely great film. The plot's been recycled enough times that few new viewers will likely find themselves unimpressed with the predictability, but outside of maybe Rocky, the film was pretty original for its Italian American underdog tale. It isn't a powerful character study, and its lasting legacy is mostly due to its defining of an era, but it isn't a puff piece either.
Saturday Night Fever has the story, the characters, and the dialogue to overcome the flatness of the subgenre's worst, but it still fulfils all the shallow image requirements. Its subtext is timeless, but the surface level stuff is specifically about the image of the disco era, which is why people my age dismissed the film during out formative years. It's been long enough that most of us can accept watching these images as lessons in anachronism. These images are so indelible largely because they're so immaculately crafted. The P.O.V shots also prove real artistic vision on the part of director John Badham, while the hero shots are perfect works of graphic design.
Usually the '70s aren't the best era for the hi-def format. They lacked the digital technology of the current era, and for the most part the classic colour of the bygone era. This is part of their charm. That said, Saturday Night Fever looks pretty spectacular on Blu-ray. The details are incredibly sharp (you can practically count the hairs on Travolta's chest) without any over-modulation or major edge-enhancement. The club scenes are the stars of the show, revelling in the bright neons that bounce off each other, the floor, the ceiling, and the actors. Outdoor night life is swimming with Taxi Driver like diffusion, but the bold colours still pop against the soft light and dark streets. The 'weakest' scenes are the darker indoor scenes, which display the most film grain, but things are still surprisingly detailed and clear. I'm surprised to admit that this is probably worth the upgrade.
Right off the bat this Dolby TrueHD track impresses beyond what should be expected for a movie this old. The elevated trains run from front channel to back channel, and vice versa, and then the entire track blows up with the Bee Gee's classic 'Staying Alive'. I don't care who you are, if you don't want to get up and strut the second that song breaks out you are an animal as far as I'm concerned. The bulk of the dialogue and incidental sound effects are centred and a bit flat compared to new releases, but there are plenty of stereo and surround elements that have been cleanly inserted into the mix. Most of the remix stuff is easy enough to miss, but in this case it's a compliment to its cleanliness and subtly. The music is the central element, and thus the most important element on the track. The increase in punchy bass is the biggest plus, but the fully bodied nature of all the soundtrack pieces is impressive through and through.
The 30th Anniversary extras start with a commentary from director John Badham. Badham loses his way a couple times, and allows a lot of blank space to unspool, but is pretty solid overall. The director has great anecdotes about the making of the film, much of it cutting back way behind the scenes. The most interesting aspects of the track are all the alternate scenes that were dropped for problems with little things like costumes or rights issues with the music. This is augmented by a trivia track entitled ''70s Discopedia', which is informative enough, but takes up a little more of the screen than it really needs to.
Under the 'Catching the Fever' menu are five featurettes with a 'play all' option (60:00). Things start with 'A 30-Year Legacy', a general retrospective look at the film's lasting impact, including its effects on Travolta's career, and the more controversial elements of the script (language, racism, etc). Pretty much every major player, minus Travolta, is interviewed, and though there isn't any behind the scenes footage, the interviews are cut well against footage and photos, making for a decent documentary narrative. 'Making Soundtrack History' covers the inception and effect of the massively popular soundtrack album, including information about the writing and recording process straight from the mouths of the living Bee Gees. 'Platforms and Polyester' covers the film's costumes, which were born of the era, but ended up having an effect on it as well. 'Deejays and Discos' covers the phenomenon of disco dancing and Studio 54, which does go a bit beyond the scope of the film. 'Spotlight on John Travolta' is a kind of unneeded and brief ego felation.
Separated from the other featurettes (for some reason) is 'Back to the Bay Bridge' (09:00), a look at the locations of the film, then and now, and 'Dance Like Travolta' (10:00). The staged nature of 'Bay Bridge' is pretty silly, but it is interesting to see the comparison, and it is pretty funny to see a brief interview with Troma Films front man Lloyd Kaufman, who was a location manager for the film before breaking out with 'classics' like The Toxic Avenger. 'Dance Like Travolta' is, unsurprisingly, a brief dance lesson. I admit I didn't really try.
The extras are wrapped up with 'Fever Challenge' (04:00), a sort of valiant attempt at creating a Dance Dance Revolution-like dance lesson on the screen using coloured squares, and three deleted scenes (03:30).
I've got two possible double features for you with this one. The first is Saturday Night Fever with Taxi Driver. Both films take place in New York around the same time, and look at the place and time through different eyes, though all four eyes end up seeing a similarly complicated and violent melting pot. The second option is Saturday Night Fever with Billy Elliot, for more obvious reasons, like young men dancing. And because I just think more people should see Billy Elliot. This Blu-ray disc looks and sounds much better than expected, and the extra features are a breezy and relatively informative viewing.

what ever happened to the Note stating that those images do not reflect that of the Blu-ray?

And who the heck is, "John Bedham?" It's, "Badham," mate. I think there might be a bit of a clue by the way his name appears all over the cover and the credits (unless they're wrong in which case the production company must really try harder) . Way to check your work though.....

That might have been one of those stupid spellcheck things where it got changed when it was being checked. But thanks for the asshole tone you f**king prick.

Aye, what a c**t.
As for the screencap disclaimer, the review didn't originally have images, and the person who added them maintains that we don't need to add disclaimers. I've added it now though.

The Sacramento San Joaquin delta supplies drinking water for more than half of California. Just inland from the San Francisco bay, this patchwork of levees, farmland and waterways is threatened by rising seawater. But people who live there say the state's plan to take freshwater from north of the delta will only make things worse
Captain Karen Mann has been coming to the delta since she was a little girl. Now she and her husband live in Discovery bay, and fish with their grandkids from their boat, the Karen Jane. She says she's worried the state's plan to build a canal would destroy the delta ecosystem:
"It would break my heart-- it would change character of delta so much," says Jane.
Right now, two pumps at the southern end of the delta take water for more than 20 million people in Southern California and agriculture in the Central valley. These pumps sometimes suck in endangered species of salmon and smelt -- and can pull in so much water they make rivers run backwards.
The state proposal to pump fresh river water from north of the delta via a giant canal could ease this pressure.
But delta Farmland owner Mike Robinson says the whole point of taking water from the south end of the delta was to keep freshwater flowing through the whole system.
"If the water flows through, everybody benefits, the exporters benefit, the locals benefit-- nobody has an advantage," says Robinson.
But if the canal plan goes through, Robinson says the incentive to maintain a healthy delta is gone. And he says, diverting freshwater from ever entering the delta will increase the already-rising salinity.
But water resource engineer Jay Lund of UC Davis says the increase in delta salt levels would be small.
"In our modeling results, not seeing a tremendous effect, we're seeing 1% or less on agricultural productivity," says Lund.
Just how to restore the delta and still provide water to Californians is an ongoing question -- with more than ecosystems at stake. The delta contains a network of 1,100 miles of levees that protect 4 million people and a $5 billion dollar agriculture industry.

Tuniq Potency 550W Review
PC components have changed rapidly over the last few years, becoming more and more powerful at an impressive rate - almost makes you wonder if Skynet is just around the corner! The introduction of dual and quad-core CPUs and power-hungry graphic cards in SLI and CrossFire configurations are great examples. All these things mean just one thing - more watts. Not too long ago, a 400W power supply would support your high-powered gaming rig, but not anymore. If you are running a dual or quad-core CPU, a single high-end - or dual mid-range graphics cards in SLI or CrossFire, the minimum you should be looking at is 500W. Some of you will say this isn't needed, but I say the power supply is one of the most important components in your PC. If you are going to spend hundreds of dollars on PC hardware, the least you can do is install a quality power supply that'll provide more than adequate power.
Tuniq, a division of Sunbeam Technologies based in China, has recently released the "Potency" line of power supplies in 550W, 650W, and 750W versions. This time around, we will be having a look at the 550W version and seeing how it performs. Could the Potency be a power supply capable of running most of the PC's out there? Let's find out!
Closer Look:
The Tuniq Potency packaging follows a very basic black and white theme, with a splash of colour on the lid's photograph. I haven't included any photographs of the sides, because to be honest, there wasn't a lot to see - model number on one side, and power supply features, mentioned later, on the other. The bottom panel included the specification table for the full Potency range, so I can only conclude that the same packaging is used for all units.
On opening up the box, you are greeted with what can only be described as basic packaging. The power supply is enveloped in bubble wrap, the power supply leads and mains chord held together with cable ties, the manual at the bottom, and the extras tucked down the side of the power supply. The packaging can really only be described as adequate, but this unit did make it from Hong Kong to the UK undamaged, snuggly tucked inside another cardboard box - so perhaps it's enough!
Along with the power supply, you get an instruction booklet, mains chord, cable ties, mounting screws, and a Molex "Y" cable, should you want an extra 4-pin Molex or to extend an existing one.

LightBox takes a look at the world of Ukrainian bodybuilders, who use open-air gyms on the island of Tuhev, not far from the site of recent bloody protests in Kiev.
The Ukrainian weightlifters in Kirill Golovchenko's photographs make even the burliest CrossFitters look bantam cute. A fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger in his childhood, Golovchenko documented fitness fiends in a public park of his home country, appropriately naming his book of the photos with the Ukrainian word for "to pump."
Kachalka: Muscle Beach is a tribute to the sprawling Soviet-era open-air fitness space that covers more than 6 square miles, is free to anyone who wants to work out there, and has been in operation since the early 1970s. The brainchild of Polish gymnast Kasimir Jagelsky and mathematics professor Yuri Kuk, Ukraine's muscle beach is an enduring community-based hub for both amateur and aspiring athletes.
(More: Fire and Ice in Kiev: Ross McDonnell on Ukraine's Front Line)
For decades they've flocked to the park on the island of Tuhev, not far from the recent bloody protests in Kiev, to test their mettle among rusting hunks of metal -- large vehicle parts, hooks, and other salvaged materials welded together in constructivist-influenced design. Only a layer of brilliant blue paint covers the constructions and their accompanying wooden benches. There is no padding, just as there is no air-conditioning, cushioned flooring, or any other creature comforts.
In contrast to their hulking, aging machines, rusting into the sand below them, the minimally clad and often barefoot bodybuilders are strapping and spirited. They lift, twist, push, flex, grunt, and grimace. It's a public spectacle that leaves every participant with, as Golovchenko writes, "a heavy body and a light heart."
Kirill Golovchenko is a Ukrainian photographer. He studied photography at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences in Germany and he won the Documentary Photography Award from the Wüstenrot Foundation in 2007 and 2008.

About Massachusetts
Home of Plymouth Rock, the Kennedys and the Red Sox, Massachusetts is the epitome of a New England experience. With the dense wilderness, balmy beaches of Cape Cod in the southeast and the bustling metropolis of Boston on the coast, there are plenty of sights and sounds to engage visitors. Indulge in a luscious bowl of New England Clam Chowder followed by the savory flavors of a freshly caught lobster. With every season bringing something special, from the crisp, brilliant leaves of autumn to the warm summertime beaches, there's no bad time to vacation in Massachusetts.
Some of the most storied and popular regions of the state include:
- Cape Cod: Including both the cape itself and the offshore islands, which include famous Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod is a vacation unto itself. Splendorous in summer, scenic in autumn and a joy in spring, Cape Cod is a must-see for visitors to Massachusetts.
- Boston: One of the most historic and famed cities on the east coast and the capital, Boston is home to a world-class Museum of Fine Arts, the Harvard campus and a plethora of historical sites, beautiful streets and fascinating scenery. It's not an accident that over 16 million people visit the city each year. If you're with the family, many water parks in Massachusetts and amusement parks in Massachusetts are in the Boston area. In addition, most Massachusetts National Parks are a short drive from the city.
- Pioneer Valley: Home to the historic counties of Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire, Pioneer Valley is the perfect place to chase down the fascinating secrets of the state's complex and lengthy history.
- Berkshire Hills: The state's westernmost region is among its most beautiful. Some of the best camping in Massachusetts is in the Berkshire Hills area, and its quiet, out-of-the-way location greatly appeals to those seeking to slow life down a gear.
- Provincetown: A hotspot of the arts, booming Provincetown was once a well-kept secret but is becoming a fashionable place for vacationers to visit.
During the summer and fall, both Boston and the Cape Cod area are alive with activity. It's a vibrant time of year to visit, with the beautiful beaches attracting thousands of patrons on a hot summer day and the legendary New England foliage making every turn a photo opportunity come fall.
A vacation rental is a more private, spacious and quiet alternative to getting a hotel room. Staying in a cabin is a perfect way to commune with nature if you're outside the city, and a condo or apartment rental is perfect if you're staying in the Boston area.
Explore more of New England by checking out the autumn leaves in neighboring Vermont, the rich history of New Hampshire and the colorful capital of Rhode Island, Providence. All these destinations are a short journey from Boston and offer memorable ways to round out your vacation.

Backstreet baby!
A.J. McLean and his wife, Rochelle, announced via YouTube Sunday that they are expecting their first child in November.
"I just wanted to say thank you guys for all your love and support. We recently got married — I was the most recent Backstreet Boy to take the plunge," the singer, 34, says with his wife by his side.
"Because we love you all so much, we wanted to share with you — for the first time — something very special. We're having a baby!"
McLean and Karidis were wed Dec. 17, 2011 in Beverly Hills.
The couple moved from Hollywood to the Valley earlier in the year so that they'd have space to raise a family, although McLean said at the time that "I think we'll be married for about three years before we have kids."
Although they'll be hearing the pitter-patter of little feet a bit earlier than expected, "Words cannot express how I feel — this is something I have always dreamed about my whole life. I've found my dream girl and this is the greatest gift of all," McLean said in a statement.
"I am the happiest and healthiest I have ever been. We are anxious, nervous, excited, happy, all emotions one can feel. Life is goooood! We are due sometime in November."

Feb. 14, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (seminoles.com) – The No. 25/21 Florida State softball team hosts its second tournament of the season in the Unconquered Invitational this weekend at JoAnne Graf Field. Florida State begins with Tulsa on Friday, Feb. 15 at 12:15 p.m., followed by a 2:30 p.m. game against Arkansas.
A total of 10 games will be played once again this weekend, with the Unconquered Invitational including a consolation and championship game on Sunday. The Seminoles' (4-0) opponents include No. 21/25 Hofstra, Arkansas and Tulsa.
In addition to their doubleheader on Friday, the Seminoles host nationally-ranked Hofstra on Saturday at approximately 12:15 p.m. Many games times for this weekend are subject to change due to the unexpected length of previous games.
With Florida State's game against Hofstra on Saturday, the Seminoles will be going for their 15th nationally-ranked victory under head coach Lonni Alameda. The highest-ranked win in Alameda's tenure came against No. 4 Michigan on Feb. 22, 2009, when Florida State defeated the Wolverines 6-5.
"This is going to be one very tough field and should provide some high quality softball for our fans to see," Alameda said. "All four teams carry a lot of talent, a lot of good arms in the circle and we're expecting a real fight in every game played. These types of challenges early in the season really build your team for the type of competition they face late in the year."
Florida State begins the Unconquered Invitational coming off a hot-hitting Sunday on Feb. 10 when it combined to defeat Bethune-Cookman and Jacksonville by a 28-0 score. The big highlight came when Florida State defeated Bethune-Cookman 20-0, a school record for runs scored in the NCAA fastpitch era.
The Seminoles enter the Unconquered Invitational starting the season 4-0 for the third time since 2007. Two of this weekend's three opponents are relatively new to Florida State. The Seminoles hold an 11-2 record vs. No. 21/25 Hofstra, but only lead Arkansas 1-0 overall and have never played Tulsa.
At last weekend's invitational, redshirt senior Monica Perry accumulated a 3-0 record with 19 strikeouts in 14.1 innings pitched.
Hofstra will be opening its season in Tallahassee this weekend, returning first-team All-America pitcher Olivia Galati as the senior led the Pride to an NCAA Super Regional appearance last season. NFCA All-Region players Tessa Ziemba and Erin Trippi also return for Hofstra, who won the UCLA Regional that Florida State and San Diego State were also a part of in 2012.
The Razorbacks (7-0) are off to a fast start after earning two more wins on Wednesday in a doubleheader sweep over Jackson State. Arkansas is hitting .341 in the young season and shows a 1.19 team ERA.
Tulsa has shown its toughness in the early going, displaying a 3-2 record that includes wins over Purdue (4-1) and North Carolina (3-1). The Golden Hurricane also went 10 innings with No. 11 LSU but fell 1-0 despite nine strong innings from pitcher Lacey Middlebrooks in which she didn't even allow an earned run.
Fans can follow all 10 games at the Unconquered Invitational via CBS GameTracker, with live statistics being displayed for every game.
Be sure to follow the Seminole softball team on its official Facebook page (Facebook.com/FSUSoftball) as well as on Twitter at @FSU_Softball.

Rihanna Gets Ruffled Up In Pink Bikini
Rihanna keeps it cute in a pink ruffled bikini as she soaks in the sun on the sunny beaches of Barbados over the Christmas holiday on Saturday (December 26).
The 21-year-old Bajan bikini babe was seen going on a boat ride with friends.
Rihanna is prepping to perform at a New Years bash in Abu Dhabi and tickets for the concert in Emirates Palace are selling out quickly.
"The response from the public has been fantastic since we announced Rihanna would be performing in Abu Dhabi and there is no doubt it's going to be an unforgettable way to see in 2010 and the beginning of a new decade," said John Lickrish, managing director of concert organizers Flash Entertainment. "There are still tickets available but they are selling fast and we are expecting even greater demand this week heading into the event."

Private Equity Distribution Management is a service that completes the final stage of the private equity cycle through the effective liquidation of in-kind stock distributions.
Why is there a need for distribution management? Because stock distributions typically perform poorly in both the:
- Short term, due to liquidity pressures as 1/3 of the limited partners typically sell immediately (distributions typically dive 8-10% on the first day).
- Long term, because owners rarely outperform the general partners selling decision (GPs are savvy investors and typically sell/distribute at high prices).
Distribution Management is a core competency of the J.P.Morgan Private Equity Group, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss our capabilities with you.

text: .puters-and-Technology Kyocera Corporation was launched way back in 1959 when it was known as the Kyocera Ceramics Co. and back then its sole product line were ceramic insulators for electrical products and as a vital part of their evolvement over the last 40 years, they are still making these today. After buying into and selling out of various other associated fields along the way, the .pany bid for and merged with MITA Corporation in the year 2000, adding a vast array of photocopiers and business machines to their already growing product range. In fact shortly after 1982 and not long after it's acquisition and merger of Cybernet Electronics, Kyocera Corporation introduced one of the very first battery powered portable laptop .puters, known as the Tandy 100, which had a built in modem, and an LCD screen. Until this point they had also taken over Yashica Corp which made a rage of cameras and film. The takeover included the licensing agreement Yashica held with Carl Zeiss. They continued to make and distribute film and digital cameras until 2005 under the Yashica and Contax brands. So in 2000 Mita Industrial was absorbed into the Kyocera stable of .panies, and as a result Kyocera Mita Corporation was born. They now manufacture a wide range of Multi Function Printers which are also marketed under the Copystar brand, toner cartridges destined for Europe, Asia, the Middle East and other places, and of course general and specialized printers and photocopiers. They also manufacture wide format imaging systems. In general terms, MITA has always had a very good name in the market as an industry leader in solid performance cost effective business machines. This tradition and reputation is being expanded to fit the Kyocera policy structure on a much broader scale. The .pany has even established it's own Green Environment .mittee to oversee the entire group's environmental policy management. This .mittee was established with the group in 2004. Their main charter is to reduce the environmental impact of production and distribution across the .plete range. Along with many other machines in the Top thirty list of energy saving copiers, Kyocera also have a machine that is well positioned in the Top ten energy saving machines around the world. This tells me that the .pany is very serious about its .mitment to the environment and strives to make sure it is a market leader in this way. As Kyocera Mita continues to grow we will see strength in its product base and expansions of its range. It is always a great indicator of the quality of a .pany's product, to assess their market position and their future plans for expansion. .panies cannot grow without a solid customer base, and this customer base is a direct result of ongoing sales. Sales are only made when a product is re.mended or offered by reputation. Kyocera MITA has that reputation. About the Author: 相关的主题文章:

Buy Now
- Let it slip

- Valentine
- I want you back
- Is it true?
- I love everything
- Can't understand

- All I wanna do
- I don't believe in love
Loveless Unbeliever is that album that fans of bands like CAMERA OBSCURA, THE PIPETTES, THE BEACH BOYS and BELLE & SEBASTIAN have waited so impatiently for. An album with the same sense of melody as THE RONETTES (those references in "Is He Really Coming Home?" and "The One Who Left Me"), the ability to acquire the youthful irreverence that the marvelous Grease soundtrack boasted, the imaginative arrangements of greats like Phil Spector or Jack Nitzsche, all updated with an impressive vision.
The thing is, is that Liz Hunt and company have made one of those albums where all of the songs are definite hits, where listening is agile and so ephemeral (and not because it's short; the disc is close to 40 minutes long), and the euphoria it creates is so great that we are totally incapable of taking the CD out of the stereo, so that we can keep listening to its intoxicating essence.
With the cherry on top that Ian Catt (SAINT ETIENNE, TREMBLING BLUE STARS, THE FIELD MICE, SHAMPOO, THE BOO RADLEYS, KAHIMI KARIE) has always given them, they were able to assimilate the whole pop tradition and reproduce it with their own personality, mastery and inspiration. "Loveless Unbeliever" seems to be the story of a love that fades away: we would almost confirm that conceptually, it moves through unease, melancholy, the disappointment of that impossible love, but at the same time it knows that it will mark us for life; it's a compilation of those moments that, behind the sadness, hide a tremendous beauty, because those are the moments that give us the true feeling of being alive. And that lust for life, the energy that pushes each and every of those instants is the vitality that THE SCHOOL's songs openly show us, with their hummable choruses, their doo-doo-wops and their catchy arrangements.
This is definitively a disc that confirms them as the latest example to follow in the pop music scene that matters, direct heirs of the girl-groups from the sixties (THE SHIRELLES, THE MARVELETTES, THE SUPREMES...) and the ambassadors of the best melodies and most unforgettable choruses, with that elegance so suited to the best Scottish pop. Huge, starting right now.

Venerable Old Torrance-based nonprofit RSVP of the South Bay will shut down at the end of the month after almost 40 years in operation.
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program, which connected people over the age of 55 with groups needing volunteers, has seen community funds "drying up" in recent years, said Executive Director Lynda Louden.
A recent decision by Congress to cut the national program – the largest for senior volunteers in the nation – by 20 percent proved the last straw. A little more than half of the group's annual $100,000 budget came from federal funding.
"It's a shame to close the doors," Louden said. "The nonprofits are being hit really hard. … It just wasn't manageable anymore."
Four other RSVP organizations in Southern California also have folded in recent years due to funding problems, she said.
The national RSVP program began in 1971. RSVP of the South Bay began in the basement of a Redondo Beach Methodist Church in 1975 before moving to Torrance.
Louden was the group's lone employee in its rented city-owned Post Avenue office around the corner from the Bartlett Senior Center. She will leave next week.
In 2012, the group had 500 volunteers at more than 90 organizations in Torrance, Lomita, the Palos Verdes Peninsula, El Segundo and the beach cities.
RSVP volunteers contribute their time at such places as Travelers Aid at LAX, Torrance's Western Museum of Flight, Meals on Wheels and the "America Reads" elementary school reading program in Torrance, Redondo Beach and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
Senior volunteers are being urged to continue with those organizations.
Torrance resident Pat Weimer, 86, and her 93-year-old husband, Ed, plan to do just that.
She has volunteered for the Torrance Art Museum for about 10 years, while her husband did the same for the Dahlia Society at the South Coast Botanic Garden.
Except for the loss of the annual luncheon held for seniors who had volunteered a certain number of hours, the closure of the RSVP office won't affect their volunteering activities much, Pat Weimer said.
"This is a real shocker," she said. "How sad, because I knew they helped people who would call them."
And, indeed, connecting seniors with meaningful activities – Louden called it giving seniors a happy heart – was one of her main functions.
Louden recalled helping an elderly man who had recently lost his wife volunteer at the Western Museum of Flight. The man, she recalled, was so grateful he wrote her thank-you notes.
"He just loved it," she said. "They were so good to him."
But even some of the group's board members had questioned why an office was necessary, Louden said.

A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
We want potential customers to see a beautiful site and want to use him as an optometrist.
Here is a link where you can view the current website, download images, and watch a movie I made that explains what we need from a design:
http://budurl.com/t8lf. Many of the websites I mention in the video are listed below.
I have attached a wireframe and the URL above should give you the images you may need. You can also use istockphoto (which I'll pay for) if needed.
We really like how the images "pop" out of these sites. Our idea is to use a little girl smiling as the main graphic. Then use faded gradients around the image to integrate the heading and form for them to fill out.
The best word I can give for what we want is "polish" as defined here:
We would like a site that is CURRENT and FRESH. More Helvetica, gradients, transparency, rounded corners, use of etc. The site must be utterly apparent that it is new and designed in 2010.
I am not telling you to make this site like any of these, but after you look at all of them, you will see the similar theme w/ gradients, opacity, fonts, and colors.

The coast is a total disaster today. I was out and about around 8am. Maverick's was easily 50 ft on the sets, but totally disorganized with a 15 MPH SW wind blowing. Montara was very impressive to watch with the same wind blowing offshore.
A big high tide at 7:30AM had waves washing up onto Hwy 1 at the Jetty. I saw a giant tree stump get blasted up onto the highway. No kidding - the thing weighs at least 500 lbs, and it blocked the entire southbound lane. Another 100 ft up the road and I would have been having a really bad day. Fortunately, I saw the wave coming and slowed down.
It was kiteable in the harbor for a short time, but there was absolutely zero beach. It's been raining hard with occassional hail and lightening ever since. Good day to take care of a few indoor chores.

You can't beat a system you can't understand
Have you ever wondered how people in elected positions survive working their way up the political ladder in a world so philosophically divided?
This fascinating question demanded the skills of our most experienced researchers to find a comprehensive answer. As expected, they uncovered the amazing information you need to pursue a lucrative career as an upand coming political candidate.
A surprising fact: succeeding in the political arena is not that difficult if you are willing to accept that accountability is an occupational hazard. Once you learn to work your way around that little glitch in the trade, the rest is relatively easy.
Next, it is most important to learn how to use and create buzzwords and terms that make constituents on all sides of the complex maze of political fences feel confident that you are satisfying their agenda. This can sometimes be tricky. Trendy words, phrases, and clichs have limited lifespans because people will eventually figure out what they really mean. So, it is important to get the most out of them by using each catch phrase as often as possible during speeches and when talking to the dreaded media.
You can find an example of this technique in the following promise, the likes of which you have heard many times: "We are aggressively pursuing an efficient and timely solution to (insert cause, issue, crisis, etc. here) with unrelenting resolve." Translated, this means: "We are determined to dedicate the least amount of time and energy necessary to put this annoying matter to rest, but we will continue to appear as if we are committed by mindlessly spending your money, at least until the media focuses on something else."
Notice how the wording does indeed commit to a promise of a mythical solution to some unspecified problem. However, nowhere does it offer an actual plan, let alone a viable strategy with a realistic timetable for accomplishing the task.
"Aggressively pursuing" and "with resolve" of any description are tired, worn-out, overworked idiomatic phrases that are mercifully seeing less time in useless political jargon. Lamentably, other equally smarmy and slippery studies in blatant ambiguity are replacing these gems of political lack of wisdom.
Another meaningless phrase that survived with variations for a few years, but is long overdue for retirement, concerns somebody doing something that went "under the radar," or "off the screen." These are techno-terms used to take the place of "fell through the cracks." Translated, they mean: "We got by with something and it's too late for you to do anything about it. In other words, we put one over on you."
A phrase that is currently enjoying the spotlight and will probably do so for quite some time because it offers a broad spectrum of interpretation is the word "flexible." When a politician says: "We must be flexible," or asks, "Can we be flexible?" on a certain issue, budget, interpretation of legislation, imposing of a prison sentence, etc., what do they really mean? They mean everything from: "Can we consider compromising our agendas and still achieve a common goal?" to, "You are so far removed from reality that your own party suspects that you work for a foreign government bent on bringing down our current administration." This buzzword enjoys popularity because it is nauseatingly polite even when being used as a lethal political weapon.
Once in a while, the media will relentlessly pursue demanding the fulfillment of one of your promises. On these trying occasions, it is necessary to learn how to assume the panic mode without appearing to be in the panic mode. You can easily accomplish this task by retreating to "behind closed doors."
What is really happening behind those closely guarded portals is the assumption of the panic posture. This never before revealed technique requires you and your entire entourage to run in small circles and wave your arms wildly while you scheme and pout without being observed by your constituents. Then, you throw the weakest member of your staff to the media wolves so he can be immediately devoured before the eyes of a cheering public. Hopefully, before his ultimate political demise, he will deliver a statement that says you are sequestered in an undisclosed location with your best advisors. Here, you are dedicating your life to working on the crisis of the moment. Then, when a greater crisis allows its presence to be known, you can come out and take charge with confidence while the committee you assigned to the original problem takes the heat for failing to solve it.
The most important thing to remember is to avoid being brought to justice. When you break the word "justice" down it translates to: "just ice." It is cold and hard, but easily melts when under scrutiny.
If you can thrive under these conditions, you are possibly one of the reasons we live in a system we can't understand.
