The Biblioteca di San Barnaba was a library on Piazza San Marco, at the site of San Barnaba, near the Canale Grande in Venice, Italy. The library building was originally a medieval or Renaissance church, and contained columns brought back as spoils of war from the sacking of Byzantium during the Fourth Crusade. It also contained stained glass windows with images of the knights of the Crusades, and mysterious Roman numerals. The church itself had been built over the site of a monastery run by early Christian monks, who had built the catacombs that lay under the city..
In 1938, Holy Grail historian Henry Jones, Sr. and Elsa Schneider went to the library to help find the tomb of one of the Grail knights, as part of an expedition financed by Walter Donovan. Jones was on the track of discovering the Knight's tomb below the church when he realized that Schneider was a Nazi agent, and sent his Grail Diary to his son for safety. Jones was then kidnapped by Nazi agents and taken to Castle Brunwald.
Donovan then hired Indiana Jones to pick up in his father's place, and the younger Jones and Marcus Brody traveled to Venice, and met Schneider, who took them to the library. She revealed a clue left behind by the senior Jones involving Roman numerals. From reading his father's diary, Indy realized that the tomb was somewhere in the church, and used the Roman numerals to find the spot to enter the catacombs. Breaking through the tiled floor with a cordon post (and puzzling a librarian with the noise), Jones discovered a way into the catacombs. While Jones and Schneider slipped below the library, Brody was ambushed by Kazim and his men from the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword, who dragged Brody's unconscious body away, and then followed Jones into the underground tombs.
After finding the Knight's tomb and escaping a fire set in the catacombs by Kazim, Jones and Schneider emerged from a manhole in the piazza in front of the library. Kazim's men spied the wet pair and chased them to the docks, where the pursuit continued by motorboat.
A Venetian newspaper, "La Gazzetta di Venezia" covered the damage to the library, and the speedboat chase. Indiana Jones kept a clipping of the article "Ugly American on Rampage" in his journal. The article blamed an unidentified American tourist for smashing the library floor, causing a fire below the library, and leading speedboats on a chase through the docks.
Behind the scenes
The exterior shots of the library are actually the Church of San Barnaba in Venice, located in the neighborhood of Campo San Barnaba, west of the Grand Canal.
The novelization of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade identifies the building as that of Marciana Library on Piazza San Marco. Indiana Jones: The Ultimate Guide confirms that the library is on Piazza San Marco, which is the main piazza of Venice, and home of St. Mark's Basilica, and which is located east of the Grand Canal.
The Lost Journal of Indiana Jones identifies the library as being the "library of San Barnaba" in the newspaper clipping, but the map of Venice in the journal identifies the library's location as being near The Jesuits (church) near the Cirdeca Canal (and not near the Grand Canal), and not at the location of San Barnaba on the map, or at Piazza San Marco. It is possible that Jones was mistaken when he circled the location of The Jesuits on the map.
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, the library has several areas with stained glass windows and Roman numerals. Part of the game is selecting which windowed area matches the one in the in-game Grail diary. Also found in the library are many plaques on the ends of the shelves, which contain humorous quotes from famous library patrons, and several books that Indiana Jones can pick up and use, such as a copy of the Mein Kampf, a manual for flying a biplane, and a book of maps, containing a map of the catacombs.

According to a CoinDesk report, U.S.-based Bitcoin mining firm Giga Watt owes millions to creditors and has declared bankruptcy.
The company declared it still owes its larges 20 unsecured creditors almost $7 million in court when they filed for a Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Monday in the Eastern District of Washington.
According to the court documents, Giga Watt has estimated liabilities in the range of $10-50 million and assets worth less than $50,000.
Among the creditors, there is electricity provider Neppel Electric owed almost $500,000 and the utilities provider in its Douglas County base with a claim of over $310,000.
During a special meeting of the shareholders of Giga Watt, held on Nov. 18 it has been revealed that “the corporation is insolvent and unable to pay its debts when due,”.
Andrey Kuzenny, a Giga Watt director owning more than 10% of the mining firm was the one who called the meeting.
Bitcoin miner Dave Carlson who is also the founder of Giga Watt, created the company to make the industry available to smaller scale miners by developing customized mining “pods” as well as a cheap and stable electricity supply and 24/7 maintenance at a facility in central Washington.
In May 2017, the company held an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) that raised $22 million worth of cryptocurrency. In January 2018, the company was sued by a group for supposedly conducting an unregistered securities offering. The accusers were attempting to return their investments as the company was not able to stick to the construction deadlines and then supposedly did not honor their promises to refund contributions.

Coffee futures gained amid worries over too much rain in Vietnam, where there is talk of a delayed harvest, and too little in Brazil, with talk of a mixed flowering season in the top arabica-growing state.
London robusta coffee futures for November closed up 1.4% at $2,028 a tonne, their highest finish in a month, and their first close since August above their 50-day moving average.
The gain came amid growing concerns over the harvest in Vietnam, the world’s biggest robusta grower, where stocks have been run down by strong exports after disappointing 2016-17 production.
"Heavy rainfall in Vietnam is causing harvest delays, with their farmers now planning on completing the harvest in two pickings instead of three that should start at the beginning of November," Hightower Report said.
"Current Vietnamese coffee stocks may be as low as 25,000 tonnes (417,000 bags), so further harvest delays could exacerbate an already very tight near-term supply situation," the ag markets commentator said.
Indeed, concerns of a short-term supply squeeze saw the November contract again outperform the next-in January 2018 lot, to take its premium at the close to $55 a tonne – up from $28 a tonne at the end of last week.
In New York, the December arabica coffee contract gained 2.1% to 126.85 cents a pound, offered support by the revival in robusta futures, but also by nagging worries over rainfall levels in parts of Minas Gerais, Brazil’s biggest arabica-growing state.
Lucio Dias, commercial director at Cooxupe, Brazil’s largest grower co-operative, said that coffee 2018 production in about one-third of the Minas Gerais, notably in the south, may fall short thanks to poor conditions.
At broker Price Futures, Jack Scoville said that Brazilian "coffee areas remain generally dry," adding that "trees remain stressed and there are concerns that flowers are being aborted", rather than setting as cherries for the 2018 harvest.
"Most areas will need to see some consistent rainfall now to keep the potential for a big crop alive as trees need to recover from stress from the production year last year and also the cold and dry winter."
In fact, weather maps show southern Minas Gerais running short on rains for the rest of this month, according to MDA weather maps, although Somar Meteorologia flagged heat as more of a threat to yields.
Saying that soil moisture levels had been largely replenished, the weather group said that "extreme heat is the pressing issue at the moment", raising the risk of flowers aborting.
After a prolonged drought that lasted until the end of September, the main coffee producing regions of Brazil had relief with the return of the rains. Although soil moisture levels can now be considered as high in important coffee producing areas, the concern at the moment is with the high temperatures.

Raipur, March 3 (IANS) The Chhattisgarh assembly was repeatedly disrupted Thursday after the opposition Congress charged that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) had ‘sold’ an irrigation dam to a private company setting up a power plant in the state.
The Congress members said the BJP government has been blindly supporting industrial firms by ignoring the interests of the common people in Janjgir-Champa district. It asked the BJP government to explain ‘why it had sold out a dam’ to a private company setting up a 3,600 MW power plant.
Congress legislators said there was no need to level the dam to give way to the power plant. The dam was constructed in 1962 by the undivided Madhya Pradesh government.
Congress legislators led by Mohammed Akbar raised slogans against the BJP government and sought a statement from Chief Minister Raman Singh, while the treasury benches led by Environment Minister Rajesh Munat countered the accusations. Speaker Dharamlal Kaushik adjourned the house for five minutes soon after question hour.
The uproar continued when the house reassembled and the speaker adjourned till 1 p.m. and then for 3 p.m. and thereafter for the whole day.

SANTA MONICA, Calif, (Agencies): The 31st Independent Film Spirit Awards provided a clear rebuke to the less diverse Oscars, bestowing awards on “Beasts of No Nation” co-stars Idris Elba and Abraham Attah and “Tangerine” star Mya Taylor, making her the first transgender actress to win at the annual awards.
The newsroom drama “Spotlight” was the big winner at the Spirits on Saturday, the day before it’s to compete for best picture at the Academy Awards. Tom McCarthy’s film about the Boston Globe investigation into sex abuse by Catholic priests won a leading four awards, including best picture, best director for McCarthy, best screenplay and the Robert Altman award for ensemble.
But this year’s Spirit Awards, an annual dressed-down oceanside indie antidote to the Oscars, was most remarkable for its more diverse nominees and winners. Neither Elba, Attah nor Taylor was even nominated for Oscars. Each drew hearty applause.
“There is very beautiful transgender talent,” said Taylor, who won best supporting actress for playing a Los Angeles sex worker in the iPhone-shot “Tangerine.” ‘’You better get out there and put it in your movie.”
In recent years, the Spirits have overlapped considerably with the Oscars, including the last two top winners: “Birdman” and “12 Years a Slave.” But this year, the Spirits — which honor films made for $20 million or less — widely deviated from their stuffier crosstown counterparts.
“Spotlight” was the only best picture nominee up for the Spirits’ top award; the bigger budget Oscar favorites it’s vying with, “The Revenant” and “The Big Short,” didn’t qualify. And while the Oscars have been beset by criticism for a second straight year of all-white acting nominees, the Spirits boasted five nonwhite nominees out of 20 — and three of them won.
“I’m so much prouder of being a producer than my performance,” Elba said backstage about the Netflix release. “As a producer you face a lot of doors being closed in your face and in this case we did have a hard time making it but we got there in the end.”
Elba brought Attah up on stage to share in his award for best supporting actor, but Attah later won one of all his own. The young Ghanaian, who hadn’t acted before director Cary Fukunaga cast him in “Beasts of No Nation,” beamed before a standing ovation.
Kate McKinnon (“Saturday Night Live”) and comedian Kumail Nanjiani hosted the ceremony, which was broadcast live on IFC. In their opening remarks, Nanjiani introduced themselves as a Pakistani American and a gay woman, “or to Hollywood, a straight woman and her IT guy.”
The only Oscar acting favorite, Brie Larson, added another win for her performance in the captive drama “Room.” Emma Donoghue, the novelist-turned-screenwriter, also won for best adapted screenplay for the film.
The foreign language favorite from Hungary, Laszlo Nemes’ Holocaust drama “Son of Saul” took best international film. And the documentary front-runner, the Indonesian genocide film “Look of Silence” won best documentary.
Without the competition of “The Revenant” or “The Big Short”, the wins for “Spotlight” likely don’t suggest any better fortunes for the film at the Oscars. But McCarthy took the opportunity to celebrate the movie’s distinction as an independent film, released by indie distributor Open Road.
“Quite honestly, we need studios like this who are going to step up when the other studios won’t,” said McCarthy, with several of the reporters the films is based on in the crowd. He also shared in best screenplay with his cowriter, Josh Singer.
The irreverent and breezy Spirit Awards, held in a tent on the Santa Monica beach, stood apart from the Oscars in other ways, too. Director Marielle Heller, who won best first feature for the coming-of-age tale “Diary of a Teenage Girl”, marked her territory in a speech that noted the onrush of interested from bigger productions for the movie’s breakout star, Bel Powley. “I call dibs,” Heller said of her actress.
At the Spirit Awards, indie-hood can be a badge of honor. In Saturday’s ceremony, none could top writer-director Trey Edward Shults, who won the John Cassavetes Award for first feature made for under $500,000 for his “Krisha.”
“What can I say,” said Shults. “We made this film in nine days at my mom’s house and it stars my aunt.”
The Film Independent Spirit Awards are seen as an strong indicator of independent movies that could win Oscar glory.
“Spotlight,” which is competing with “The Revenant” and “The Big Short” in many of the main categories at Sunday’s 88th Academy Awards, also won best editing and a special prize for its ensemble cast.
It has swept a string of honors ahead of the Oscars, including top prizes from the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America, as well as a screenplay award at Britain’s BAFTAs.
McCarthy told reporters on the arrivals red carpet he hadn’t felt any nerves ahead of the Spirit Awards — but would be “a wreck” at the Oscars.
One disappointment at the Spirits was “Carol,” the story of a 1950s housewife who falls for a store clerk.
Starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, it was nominated in six categories, including best feature, best director and best actress, but won just one trophy for Ed Lachman’s cinematography.

This XML file is a model of my blog, representing the navigation between tags as a finite state machine. My Model-Based Testing demo code randomly walks through this model and automatically generates the associated WebDriver test code.
One benefit of Model-Based Testing is demonstrated here, we can simply modify the model to expand the test coverage. Adding more states or more transitions will make those available to the test generation algorithm without adding any new code.
The overall process starts with building the model. In my demonstration, I built the model by inspecting the web-page directly. In a new development, its more likely that we would be working with a specification. Building the model based on the specification, in parallel with the development team building the software is a powerful method of testing the specifications themselves. I call building the model a second “instantiation of understanding”. The specification team & developers will review the model, and highlight mis-understandings early in the life-cycle.
Once the model is built (and reviewed), we use a test selection method to automatically generate tests. In the demo, I used a random walk through the state machine, but there are other strategies that may be more appropriate. (cringes while remembering languages & automata CS class)
Next, we extract implementation details from the system under test. In this example, the specific link tags provide the means for the automatic test generation algorithm to create the test input (clicking on a link), and the target page title to be used as the success criteria.
Finally, the demo automatically generates the WebDriver code to implement these tests. In the next post on this series, I’ll describe the code in more detail. For those who want to read ahead, the code is available on gitHub.
A brief word on the model: in the model, each page is represented by a “state”, and the links are a “transition”. The state has an “oracle”, which is the page title. The program uses the oracle to verify correct navigation. The state also has a list of transitions.
Each transition has an input attribute, which is the “class name” for that link, which is how WebDriver will find that link. Each transition also has a next state. You can find the tag cloud on the side-bar of this blog. Right-click on the link and Inspect Element to see the class name. (tag-link-3 for automation, for example)


Town and state officials to meet concerning Rte. 12 reconstruction
State Department of Transportation project manager Andrew Paul and staff will meet with Sterling town boards and officials Tuesday, Nov. 19, to garner input on plans for the stretch of Rte. 12 near Chocksett Road that has been the scene of serious and fatal accidents.
Paul says a comprehensive public input process will begin by April or May, when the plans will be 25 percent complete.
According to Paul, full scale reconstruction on the area is slated to be funded in the state’s fiscal 2014-15 budget, with the project going out to bid within that same fiscal year. He said reconstruction will begin by 2016 and should be completed within 18 months.
To address immediate safety concerns, the road has been re-striped to cut the highway down from two lanes to only one in each direction and the speed limit is being reduced.
Surveys on existing conditions and traffic studies have been completed. The state will continue to study current and projected traffic volumes as well as how properties and access points along the route will be the least impacted by a reconstruction.
Studies will include what types of vehicles regularly use the road and how best to accommodate them.
Paul noted that various options for reconstruction are still being explored, including the possibilities of a roundabout or the installation of traffic lights. The roundabout is different from a rotary, said Paul, in that it has defined lanes, a much smaller circumference and narrower approaching lanes to force the slowdown of vehicles.


Born from the legendary Novembers Doom, These Are They formed in 2008 when vocalist Paul Kuhr and ex-guitarist Steve Nicholson got together to jam. They added Earthen guitarist and bassist Michael LeGros and Wiley Wells, respectively, and drummer Evan Berry, who would later be replaced by Tony Bettenhausen. At The Feast Of Seven Funerals is their third full-length album after Who Lingers and Disposing Of Betrayers, and proves to be a wild ride, start to finish.
Unlike Novembers Doom, These Are They have no time for acoustic guitars or clean vocals; every song on the disc, from “Hell Rides At Dawn” to “Buried Neath The Willows,” is heavy-hitting, fast-paced, and full of impressive drum technicality. One example of this is in “Hangman’s Knot,” in which Bettenhausen effortlessly changes rhythms mid-measure, throwing in various cymbal accents and fills that could throw off the best of percussionists.
At The Feast Of Seven Funerals once again sees These They Are experimenting with various forms of extreme metal, this time going for a traditional death metal sound, which can be heard in “Penelope Dies” and “Buried Neath The Willows,” incorporating furious tremolo picking, blast beats, and chromatic riffs.
Death metal is a niche market, and the guys in These Are They have more than shown their ability to play with the big boys of the scene. This album displays a controlled chaos that only years of experience could produce, and proves to be a frenzied trek through the haunted forest that is death metal.


WILMINGTON -- Thanks to new cost estimates from the Department of Transportation drivers waiting for improved road conditions in southeastern North Carolina will have to wait longer. $100 million worth of DOT projects must be dropped or delayed. DOT officials say increased cost of construction materials like asphalt, concrete, and steel is the main reason projects are costing more. They haven't yet decided which projects will be dropped or delayed in the six local counties this affects. The estimated costs of several projects have significantly increased since last estimates were calculated, including widening Kerr Avenue, improving the Oleander and College intersection, and fixing the surf city bridge. The intersection of South College Road and Oleander Drive is one of many headaches for local drivers. Leland resident Terry Paterson said, "That has to be about the worst intersection I've ever gone through." And DOT officials know it. Improving the intersection is among the projects the DOT hopes to accomplish. The problem is, the department has to cut out $100 million worth of projects in six local counties. Division construction engineer Joe Blair said, "It is very disappointing that we've got this problem, and it's a tough problem to deal with. The folks that have to make those tough decisions did not have an easy job." The DOT sites several reasons for increased project costs: a growing demand on the system, declining funding, aging infrastructure, and most importantly, increasing cost of supplies. "With a global demand for materials, for construction materials, asphalt, concrete and steel, the prices are just increasing significantly," Blair said. The DOT hasn't decided which projects will be dropped or delayed, but that's just a matter of time. "It's really shame in an area that's growing so quickly, in the Wilmington and southeast North Carolina where the infrastructure is not keeping up to the developments," Blair said. Wilmington resident Ricky King said, "All of Market Street and College, it's just terrible. I mean, traffic is always backed up on there, especially during lunchtime."

|“||I am Lieutenant Hammerman of the Blackguard. These islands belong to us now. We'll crush your puny base!||„|
|~ The first words Lt. Hammerman says.|
|“||Thats my TURTLE!!!||„|
|~ Lt. Hammerman famous quote.|
Lt. Hammerman (also known as Hammerman) is the main antagonist of the Supercell's 3D mobile application Boom Beach. He is the tyrannical and oppressive lieutenant and leader of an evil military organization known as the Blackguard, he is Dr. T and Colonel Gearheart's master and the player's archenemy.
Lt. Hammerman is a tyrannical lieutenant, deceitful and cruel, he seeks to reign over the archipelago as a god, obsessed by the magic stones, he is selfish, harmful, very strict and very authoritarian and he rival the player.
Lt. Hammerman has dark brown hair, a rather square nose, he has a left eye, marking a scar, he always darkens the eyebrows, he has a rectangular chin. he looks small, he wears a black uniform with red at the neck and shoulders and he wears the badge of lieutenant on his collar.
The first time Lt. Hammerman is on his level twenty-five headquarters, he is armed with a Super Mortar with no blind spots, but only the player's warriors can do it, once the level twenty-five headquarter destroys, Hammerman will sends a message to the player that the Super Mortar is fragile.
We find Lt. Hammerman second time on his level thirtieth headquarters where he took a mercenary base, tanks are needed to destroy the headquarters heading towards the defenses easy, once the headquarters of njveau thirty destroyed Hammerman sends you a message to the player that this base belongs to a former ally of the player, General Zhao.
We find the third time Lt. Hammerman on his level thirty-five headquarters where he has a better fortified base than General Zhao, the tanks are necessary but the medikit is very important and the Shock Bombs against the rocket launcher, once the headquarters destroyed, Hammerman sends you a message to the player.
The fourth time Lt. Hammerman is on his fortieth level headquarters where he has a base surrounded by improved mines that barrages are needed and warriors are needed, you have to launch a Shock Bomb on the Super Mortar to avoid death. to the warriors, once the headquarters is destroyed, Hammerman sends you a message to the player that these improved mines are better than the defenses.
We find the fifth time Lt. Hammerman on his level fifty headquarters, where he owns sniper rifles, cannons, super guns, MMG 9000s and fortified mines, he sent warriors needed, it is necessary to send dams necessary to between of the headquarters and Shocks Bombs on the defenses, once the headquarters destroyed, Hammerman gives you a message to the player that this base is fortified.
We find the sixth time Lt. Hammerman on his level fifty-five headquarters, we must send the warriors first and lead them with a flare and use a fumigant necessary to hide them, once the headquarters destroyed, Hammerman sends you a message to the player that his last base is fortified.
We find the seventh and last time Lt. Hammerman on his level sixty headquarters, we must launch dams and send the level twenty warriors and destroy the guns machines, we must launch a flare on the headquarters so that the warriors the destroy, once the last headquarters destroyed, Hammerman goes on the offensive.
- When you lose a non-player village, it is said that the village was taken over by the Blackguard.
- The other real players are considered Black Guard mercenaries. So you fight the Black Guard by confronting them, but paradoxically, you are also considered a mercenary of the Black Guard by the other players.
- When you destroy one of his bases, Lieutenant Hammerman leaves behind five more victory points, and all the liberated villages launch fireworks to celebrate the victory.
- Hammerman seems obsessed with power stones and statues for their mystical powers. However, the only statue he uses from all his bases is a Statues of Life on his level thirty base.
- Lieutenant is the ninth rank of the Navy, but it seems that Lieutenant Hammerman is the only leader of the Black Guard.

Not just any cartoon, but the cartoon that launched 1,000 jihadists. From the Wall Street Journal:
Kurt Westergaard is in hiding from Islamic militants who want him dead. Now, the Danish cartoonist says he’s ready to part with the source of his travails, a small ink sketch of the Prophet Muhammad with a bomb in his turban.
But first there is the ticklish question of price.
“I would like to think that it has some value,” says Mr. Westergaard, the 72-year-old creator of one of the world’s most famous cartoons and one that inflamed Muslims world-wide. “It is a symbol of democracy and freedom of expression. I think I should have a little money for this,” he says.
The drawing is locked in a bank vault while the cartoonist shuttles between temporary havens the Danish secret police have found for him around this blustery port city. His is by far the best known of 12 Muhammad-related cartoons published in September 2005 by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten. But how do you fix the value of something that auction houses won’t touch, that museums won’t hang on their walls and that still inspires murderous passions?
Two weeks ago, Danish authorities said they had foiled a plot to kill Mr. Westergaard in his home. Seventeen Danish newspapers, outraged and eager to show solidarity, reprinted his drawing. Muslims again took to the streets. Iran and others demanded an apology. “I always had a feeling this cartoon crisis would not end,” says Mr. Westergaard. “Now I know.”
I hope he survives the auction.

A generous donation from the Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) to Loganlea Miners Welfare has enabled a popular community soft play area to reopen.
Forced to shut at the start of the pandemic, the children’s attraction run by the Pit Stop has remained closed since then.
Now thanks to the £2,964 donation from CRT, Loganlea Miners Welfare have been able to fund a part-time cleaner salary to allow the kids soft play area to reopen.
As well as the soft play facility, which is now open for six sessions a week, the Pit Stop runs a community larder project which distributes quality food at low prices and has continued to operate through the pandemic.
Stuart Douglas, Head of Operations Scotland, Coalfields Regeneration Trust, said: “It is vital to us that we work to support communities that have been negatively affected by the pandemic. We are pleased to be able to help Loganlea Miners Welfare with this donation that has facilitated a safe and clean environment for children to play and have fun. Being active and interacting with others is extremely beneficial for both physical and mental health and we look forward to seeing the positive impact this award will have on the local community.”
This is one of many funding projects CRT has opened to local mining communities after recently announcing the Community Investment Programme, which offers awards of up to £3,000 to charitable and not-for-profit community groups.

Public schools must pay for one-on-one nursing care during school hours for severely disabled students regardless of the cost, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday.
In a case involving a quadriplegic teenager from Iowa, the justices found, by a 7-2 vote, that continuous care for the boy -- Garret Frey -- did not necessitate a doctor's services and must be paid by the Cedar Rapids school system under the federal Individuals With Disabilities Education Act.
School districts and advocates for children with disabilities, in Connecticut and across the country, had been watching the case. It promised to clarify what had been a confusing area of the law -- how far schools must go in providing access to their programs for students with severe disabilities.
Though the instances are not great in number, school administrators say a single severely disabled child can be a heavy drain on a small school district's resources. And they fear the numbers could grow.
"[The ruling] will have a significant impact over time, particularly as we see more and more children who, because of advances in medical science, are able to reach school age, but need intensive medical support in order to survive on an hourly basis," said Patrice McCarthy, general counsel for the Connecticut Association of Boards of Education.
David Larson, superintendent of schools in Middletown, said if schools must bear these costs, Congress must provide the financial support spelled out in the 1975 law. He said the federal government was supposed to pick up 40 percent of the tab for special education programs. Today, he said, the law is not being followed. The level of federal support is at about 8 percent for his district, he added.
"These people sit down there and pass laws in fantasy land. They don't understand the implications," Larson said. "You've got to pay for what you propose."
But Molly P. Cole, who runs the Family Center at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, said many districts find creative ways to meet the needs of students with disabilities, often through a combination of resources such as Medicaid, insurance and district funds.
She said children with disabilities have the same right to an education as other children.
"It's exciting to see the value of these children participating in their schools reinforced at the highest levels," Colesaid. "That is a pat on the back to a lot of families who struggle every day to make that happen for their kids."
The issue at the heart of this case was whether Frey's care should be defined as "medical services" or more routine services related to providing him with an education. The court ruled the care was not "medical services," meaning the schools must cover the costs of the services.
But the court said cost was not the issue. Summing up the majority's opinion, Justice John Paul Stevens wrote that the issue was access.
"This case is about whether meaningful access to the public schools will be assured," he wrote, "not the level of education that a school must finance once access is attained."
Frey, 16, was paralyzed in an accident when he was 4. Now a sophomore, he is a quadriplegic who uses a ventilator to breathe. His daily care needs include feeding, urinary catheterization, suctioning his tracheotomy and repositioning him in his wheelchair. His family pays for a nurse who attends to him each night at home while he sleeps.
It's unclear exactly how many students like Frey attendschool in Connecticut, though education and health officials have estimated the number to be 30 or fewer. Far higher, they said, is the number of students who receive nursing care for a wide range of ailments -- asthma, diabetes and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, for example -- during the school day.
"The schools have already become a health care provider in a way," said Nadine Schwab, a consultant for health services with the state Department of Education. "They are not the primary care provider, but they provide health maintenance care during the day so kids can be safe and maintain their health status."
Michael J. Wasta, an assistant superintendent of schools in Bristol who has devoted much of his career to special education, said those cases cause little controversy.
The trouble for school districts comes when a child -- such as Frey -- needs one-on-one private duty care throughout the school day.
In Connecticut, Wasta said, the standard had been similar to the one in Iowa. Such intensive care wasn't seen as routine maintenance but as medical care, a distinction the Supreme Court seems to say is no longer valid.
"It was a very tricky line to draw in any case," Wasta said, adding that the decision clears up what had been conflicting rulings in the lower courts.

Open Your Eyes by Alejandro Amenábar
I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to so-called “psychological thrillers.” There’s this innate desire within me to prove that they aren’t as clever or original as they often think they are. Maybe it’s a competitive thing within me, or a desire not to be outsmarted. Or maybe it’s just the fact that many “psychological thrillers” are neither “psychological” nor “thrilling.” So that’s how I approached Open Your Eyes, with more than a little skepticism.
Open Your Eyes begins with a nightmare, which quickly sets the rest of the film’s mood. Cesar is a wealthy, handsome young playboy. Accustomed to having any woman he wants, he soon becomes attracted to Sofia, the beautiful girlfriend of his best friend, Pelayo. That doesn’t sit too well with the Cesar’s last girlfriend, the psychotic Nuria. When Cesar is involved in a carwreck with Nuria, his life becomes as shattered and fractured as his once-handsome face.
Soon, he no longer knows what’s real and what’s a dream. Is Nuria really dead? Is he going insane? Is he really guilty of a murder that everyone says he committed. He finds himself in an asylum, wearing a mask to cover his hideous face, trying to figure out what happened. Or is he?
I think that a movie like Open Your Eyes is far harder to pull off, in terms of storytelling and effect, than some huge overblown epic. With a movie that has as many layers, twists, and ideas as Open Your Eyes, it’s no easy task to keep it all focused and interesting. One misstep and the movie becomes too disjointed and fractured for it to be a good story, or it becomes boring and predictable.
For the most part, Open Your Eyes pulls it off. You have no idea what’s going on until the last 15 minutes or so. And when you do think you have it figured out, the movie throws a curveball at you, forcing you to rethink everything you just saw. There was rarely a time when I wasn’t caught up in the movie, and even in its slower moments, I was interested enough in the very concept to stay involved in the movie. If I have one complaint, it’s that ending seems a little convenient, but it makes perfect sense within the movie’s context.
Open Your Eyes definitely places more emphasis on the psychological side of things. You won’t find yourself too far on the edge of your seat, but rather, scratching your head and trying to figure out all of the movie’s different ideas. This is a movie that works well with multiple viewings, or in serious hindsight, as you try to peel it away and start to figure out just how the filmmakers put it together.

Despite extreme fire danger ratings and fire bans throughout much of B.C., conservation officers handed out four fines on Friday for unlawful campfires in the East Kootenay region.
The BC Conservation Officer Service issued the fines, worth $4,600 altogether, while on fire ban patrol in campsites.
BCCOS shared images on Twitter of two of the fires they had to put out.
"What were the campers thinking?" the post reads, noting there have been 252 wildfires recorded in the province's Southeast Fire Centre so far this season.
Campfires are currently restricted in five of the province's six fire centres; only in the Prince George Fire Centre are campfires still permitted.
On Friday, the BC Wildfire Service said there were 446 fires burning across the province.
Those found violating campfire bans anywhere in B.C. can be fined $1,150, and further penalties can include an administrative fine and a conviction in court. If a campfire leads to a wildfire, those responsible could have to pay for firefighting and associated costs.

Dr Grant has accurately summarized the problem faced when hyperventilating a hypoventilator. During hyperventilation, what degree of ventilation as measured by the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is indicative of normal bellows and lung function? What degree of bellows weakness can be associated with hypoventilation, and what role do the hypoxic and hypercapnic respiratory drives have in that situation? Unfortunately, not every physician has the insight into the problem that Dr Grant has. The purpose of our report, "Hyperventilating the Hypoventilator," was to demonstrate that care must be used in the interpretation of hyperventilation blood gases.
As Dr Grant pointed out, one would suspect that persons with abnormal central control mechanisms and entirely normal bellows and lung functions would reduce their Pco2's to the low 20s with hyperventilation. This supposition is not documented by previous investigators. Even in the presence of severe bellows weakness, the patient in our

Welcome to Medieval Monday! This is the summer of getting to know some of our wonderful, Medieval Monday authors and why they enjoy writing Medieval romances--be it paranormal, time travel, or sweeping romances.
My good friend, Barbara Bettis, is in the Tavern answering the question, "Why I love Medieval writing?"
I’m not sure what calls to me so strongly from the Middle Ages, but whatever it is, has done so my entire life. I think it may be rooted in the stories I devoured when I first started reading. Myths, folk stories from different cultures, tales of Knights of the Round Table, they all captured my imagination. It was a different, fascinating world where anything was possible—in theory. Throughout school, history was a favorite subject, and I loved to delve into the events—and lives of the people—of the past.
As I did so, I recognized that the knightly tales of derring do from my childhood were set amidst times of turmoil, deprivation of the many and reward of the few. I usually root for the underdog, so when my studies introduced me to mercenaries and the bad reputation many of them enjoyed (and they probably did enjoy them), I immediately thought, “But they all must not have been bad. What of the ones who fought to better themselves and didn’t practice cruelty?”
Life was not easy for most people. In the eyes of society at that time, bettering oneself usually meant acquiring land. Few folks had the means or opportunity to do so. Later in the Medieval period, landed-society’s restrictions didn’t allow for commoners to aspire to knighthood, except for very limited exceptions. But in the earlier days, it wasn’t all that unusual for a commoner to rise by reason of bravery, strength, and audacity. All but one of my stories have featured such mercenaries who strive to better themselves by acquiring power and land.
All my stories feature strong women, not at all the norm of the period. Yet discoveries tell us there were more strong women than we realize, although most of them were wed or in the church. I imbue my heroines with strength of character given the times in which they lived.
I love creating the stories of strong heroines we women would like to be and of heroes we’d love to live for.
Barbara Bettis grew up in the rural Midwest, where reading was a reward for chores well done. So you can bet she did her chores well—and fast. She loved history and English. She’d intended to major in English, but when she arrived at her small, Liberal Arts college, one of the European history professors was on a Rhodes Scholarship. Once she met the English professors, she defected.
Thus, she received her BA in English with a strong minor in history and her Master’s in English. After working as a newspaper reporter and editor, Barb returned to college and taught English and journalism, later earning a doctorate in Higher Education with an emphasis in journalism.
After her husband died, some former students lured her into their critique group, where she began writing fiction. A trip to Scotland and England solidified her love of the Isles (the small tour group set up a ‘Barb’s Castle Alert’ on their train journeys). Her earlier fascination with the Middle Ages led her into her medieval stories, where she’s been roaming around ever since.
Now that she’s retired from teaching, her ambition is to write an angst-ridden, tortured hero set in the High Middle Ages, but somehow her guys end up with inappropriate senses of humor. Perhaps in the future….

Women’s Final Four Odds, Picks, Predictions: Bets for UConn vs. Stanford, South Carolina vs. Louisville
M. Anthony Nesmith/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images. Pictured: UConn’s Paige Bueckers
We’re down to the final weekend in the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament. This competition’s had a bit of everything, including two 10 seeds upsetting a No. 10 seed in the second round, and some epic finishes.
The tournament had its first double-overtime finish as UConn and NC State went back and forth in an instant classic. If those games serve as a precursor for this Final Four weekend, basketball fans should be in for a treat.
Women’s Final Four Predictions
Louisville vs. South Carolina Odds
|Spread||South Carolina -8.5|
|Moneyline||Louisville +315 / South Carolina -410|
|Time||7 p.m. ET|
The first game of the doubleheader features two top seeds, with the Louisville Cardinals taking on the South Carolina Gamecocks. However, the point spread suggests that the two teams are further apart than you might expect. After all, the Gamecocks are the top overall seed in this tournament.
South Carolina’s reached the Final Four in back-to-back years, but this time, it will try to go one step further after last year’s 66-65 loss to Stanford. There’s certainly plenty of experience on this team as it welcomed back all five of its starters.
South Carolina (33-2) has been even better this season, leading the nation in margin of victory at 20.6 points per game, and they’re ranked first in blocked shots with 7.6 per contest.
South Carolina does much of its work on the interior with the All-American center and Naismith player of the year in Aliyah Boston. Yet, I think Louisville can succeed by utilizing a double and triple-team because the Gamecocks can sometimes struggle if they’re forced to make shots from the perimeter. South Carolina ranks 169th in the country in 3-point shooting (30.8%). In contrast, Louisville ranks 16th in the category, shooting 36% from beyond the arc.
After running the numbers, my model makes the Gamecocks closer to a -9 point favorite. However, the one thing that gives me pause is South Carolina’s free-throw shooting. The Gamecocks are shooting 67.6% from the charity stripe, putting them 269th in Division I. Thus, it wouldn’t surprise me if the backdoor is left slightly ajar should the Cardinals hang around in the fourth quarter.
I’ll be interested to see where this number closes because this is a game you might want to bet closer to tipoff if you like the dog. Since I seldom like to go against my model, I’d only recommend a lean with the Cardinals. But if the spread reaches +9.5, I would make it an official play.
Lean: Louisville +8.5 or better
UConn vs. Stanford Odds
|Moneyline||UConn -110 / Stanford -120|
|Time||9:30 p.m. ET|
It’s hard to imagine a women’s Final Four without the Connecticut Huskies. After all, this season marks their 14th straight appearance since the 2008 season. However, as good as the Huskies have been, they haven’t won a championship since 2016.
That must seem almost unbearable for UConn fans who were spoiled by four straight titles during the Breanna Stewart years from 2012 to 2016. UConn and Stanford are two of the blue bloods of women’s college basketball. Stanford is the defending champion after ending a 29-year title drought last season.
To reach its sixth Final Four in 13 seasons, Stanford outlasted the second-seeded Texas Longhorns in the Elite Eight. Although the Pac-12 champs will face another two-seed in Connecticut, the Huskies could have easily been a top seed if not for a knee injury to guard Paige Bueckers.
Bueckers played a massive role in the Huskies’ 91-87 double-overtime win over No. 1 seed NC State. The sophomore led all scorers with 27 points and scored 13 in overtime. UConn went 15-4 with Bueckers sidelined, but it is 14-1 with her on the court.
The Women’s Basketball Committee did NC State a disservice by not moving UConn to another part of the country, as that double OT game was played in Bridgeport. Sportsbooks were quick to spot this error as it was the lower-seed Huskies were listed as the favorites in the matchup.
There’s no question that Connecticut benefited from playing the game in front of a partisan home crowd in Bridgeport — roughly an hour away from its campus. To advance to the championship game, UConn will need to find a different advantage to get past another No. 1 seed in Stanford.
Two things would worry me if I’m a Huskies fan: For one, Bueckers had only one assist on Monday night, and the team finished with just 10 assists compared to 20 for NC State. I think that lack of ball movement is unsustainable, particularly when facing top-tier opponents.
Another key to Friday’s game is that UConn will be without their 6-foot-5 forward Dorka Juhász, who fractured her left wrist against NC State after looking impressive during a short stint off the bench. Her injury means that the Huskies will likely have to go with a shorter rotation, thus potentially exposing their bigs to foul trouble.
UConn will also have one fewer day of rest compared to Stanford.
Connecticut opened as the consensus favorite at anywhere from one to 1.5 points. However, the line’s gone in the opposite direction as now it’s Stanford, a 1.5-point favorite at most sportsbooks.
Since that number is right around my model’s projection, playing this game on the moneyline might make more sense. You can grab Stanford at -120 over at BetMGM.
Pick: Stanford ML -120

Art might not be capable of solving the problems but gives one the exposure to face them in reality- believed one of the legendary painter and practitioner of fine arts. However, it has been seen that arts education that is being provided in the schools adequately, can indeed help in solving multiple problems. Years of research work has been carried out, and each one of these research works has come up with one typical response from the parents or their voice across the nation. Each one of them wants their kids to have a full growth which will include not only academic achievement but also a social and emotional development that will help these children have the civic growth in them.
Some of the essential involvement in arts is associated with certain gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, or even the verbal skills. It has also been proved that students who have gone under serious art training for years together are better in motivation, and the concentration they can put to work, and the confidence they find in themselves is far better than their counterparts who do not. It helps these kids gain the power to connect with the people genuinely, and does have an eye which opens up multiple ways of seeing.
How does an art study help the society to form? Peter Max , who is not just a fine art specialist, but also has multiple exhibitions in his name, believes that it is only an art form that can transgress all the borders, and can help the society fuse with one another. The students who are categorized as underprivileged and come from the financially less affluent strata of the society gets to mix with the kids who are contradictorily rich, and they get to share their feelings and emotions among each other.
It is indeed a great thing that finally Education has taken up the motif which says, that no child must be left behind. Even though there have been budget constraints for most of the schools to carry out the art education, and also though the figures have been slipping away in the last three decades, arts education is struggling hard to make its place in every classroom possible.
Peter Max has pointed out one crucial fact strikingly, and that makes a huge difference in the perception of an entire generation. Currently, the world has got a couple of generations of teachers and parents who haven’t had the privilege to have arts education. And that might make the difference. Those who have been lucky enough to find one must realize the importance and take the oath to have not a single parent in future who has not gone through it.
The dimensions of relationships ought to get better with everyone having the experience of arts education. The connection is not only reliable but undoubtedly an achievement in itself. The more you go through it, the better you realize it.

So you have all these amazing product photos from your product photographer. But you’re not quite sure how to best use them for your small business’s social media. Here are just a few tips on how you can best use your photos on social media for business.
If you’re into blogging, most blogging platforms allow you to add an event section that’s just like your timeline, but with loads of room for details around when and what photos you post. It’s a great way to promote things you’re doing or events in your life while also reminding people to follow you online.
Before you start posting photos, think about how much time you want to spend editing them and uploading them to your social media. You may find that just a few minutes per day is all you need to get great results. Don’t be afraid to try different amounts of time for scheduling until you find a time that works for you.
You can track how successful your social media posts are by using analytics, but there’s an easier way to tell: does everyone you know who sees your post want to receive more information from you? If they do, that’s a great sign that your content was effective.
When you use photos on social media, you need to be aware of how those images look to potential customers. If an image looks dirty or poorly lit, that will definitely cause people to lose trust in your business and your products.
(If you can’t yet afford to hire a professional product photographer, check out my post where I share 5 ways to take better products with your cell phone.)
One of the best ways to learn how to use social media images effectively is by looking at what worked and didn’t work in previous posts or accounts. All businesses will have failed somewhere, so take a look at those photos and try to identify any patterns you might notice. This can help you improve your own images or account until you find a formula that works well for you.
The best part about social media is that it’s constantly evolving. One week, you may get 20 shares when posting content; by the next, you could have 400. As your follower count grows, so does your ability to impact more people with your message. And the great thing about social media is that there are plenty of platforms to choose from so even if one platform falls flat, another three will come along to take its place.
On most platforms, you can alter your photo at least a little bit, even if you want to keep it entirely original. That’s because there’s always some tweaking you can do with a digital image, whether you’re trying to fix heavy shadows or try something new like an abstract shot.
(Side note: If you’ve hired a professional product photographer, speak with the photographer before making any changes to the images. Most photographers are able to make minor changes to your images.)
So there you have it. Social media is vitally important to your business. You want to make sure you’re using your products efficiently for social media for business. Let me know if I’ve missed your favorite tips.

Princess Charlotte Adorably Wore a Hand-Me-Down From Prince George
Royals are just like us—they wear their older sibling's hand-me-downs too. Kate Middleton took an adorable new portrait of Princess Charlotte and her new baby brother, Prince Louis, in honour of the former's third birthday, and the photo couldn't be sweeter.
Royal fans were quick to point out that we've definitely seen that sweater before—Prince George wore it in a 2016 portrait celebrating Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday. Given her mum's penchant for re-wearing clothes over the years, it's no surprise that Princess Charlotte isn't immune to hand-me-downs either. How cute is this family? Scroll down to see both adorable royals in the sweater.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to share two photographs of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, taken by The Duchess at Kensington Palace. This image was taken on 2nd May, on Princess Charlotte’s third Birthday. The Duke and Duchess would like to thank members of the public for their kind messages following the birth of Prince Louis, and for Princess Charlotte’s third birthday.

The 7 Powerful Words That Set Me Free
Sitting in a conference-style chair, in a large room full of women that I didn’t know, it happened.
I still remember the intense feeling of warmth engulfing my body. Adrenaline raced through my veins and my stomach began to contract and tighten. Goosebumps began to appear on my forearms and the tiny hairs on them stood at attention.
I remember noticing this extreme physical reaction to seven simple, yet powerful words that would literally change my life.
“The Lord your God fights for you…” Joshua 23:3
Growing up as the eldest child in my family, I was expected to bear the weight of certain responsibilities.
My mother divorced my father when I was about four years old. That meant she would need to go out and earn a living for our young family of four. Our lives would never be the same. Within a year, we would economically be considered living below the poverty level.
As unbelievable as this may seem, I became responsible for watching over my younger brother and sister at the age of five.
I would be considered their “little mama” for the next eleven years.
I was utterly afraid most of the time. I would always wonder if my mother was going to come back when she would leave for work. Not because I thought she would intentionally abandon us, but what if she just couldn’t come home.
I remember the rules quite clearly. Do not answer the phone. Do not open the door. Do not look out of any windows.
I also remember the consequences of breaking just one of the rules, even if it was only once. My brother, sister and I were picked up by Child Protective Services because I broke a rule and answered the phone.
Answering that phone almost cost me everything that meant something in my life. I learned my lesson and never made that mistake again.
I also learned to fight for what mattered to me. Never to let anyone take what was mine. I learned this lesson so well that as I grew into adolescence, I could have been considered a prizefighter.
I fought my way through being bullied and mocked in elementary school. I fought for my brother and sister. I fought sexual predators. I fought any and everyone that was perceived as a threat to myself and my family.
By the time I was an adult, fighting was simply a way of life. When I say fighting I don’t just mean physically fighting, I mean being confrontational, angry, resentful, vengeful, defiant, oppositional, and self-destructive.
I’d grown up in the church. Somehow, I didn’t receive the message that God loved me. That I was meaningful. All I knew was that I was afraid …and it hurt. So I kept fighting.
On December 10th, 2013 at around 10:30 am, a call came through to my office. It was my brother, “ Mom is dead,” he stuttered in shock. “Mom is gone,” he said again, in an attempt to soften the blow but also to allow the news to sink in. I felt weak. I got up to stand and fell back into my chair. My stomach felt like I’d been punched so hard that I couldn’t breathe.
My greatest fear had just become reality.
I was so lost.
My mother had been discussing salvation with me for years. I’d study my bible but didn’t really make any sort of real commitment. I’d go to church here and there, always the “visitor.” She wanted me to know God, to know that I was loved. But I was resistant.
However, there was one prominent commandment that resonated with me during that time. “Honor thy father and thy mother…” Exodus 20:12
Above is my mother. She loved Christmas, so we like to use this picture of her.
I wanted to honor my mother by being someone that she would be proud to call her daughter. She had sacrificed so much for us. The hard work it took to raise us and make sure that we had things that we both needed and wanted. She made the best of any situation. She was my inspiration.
Nearly a year after my mother passed, I was in complete despair. Self-destructive, angry, and volatile.
I found myself wondering what my purpose in life was. The urge to seek out that knowledge became powerfully compelling. It was like an obsession.
One day, I wandered into a Christian bookstore driven by the same overwhelming urge to seek out my purpose. There I found a book. Now, the title of the book is not important. What’s important is that it prompted me to seek out a church for clarification on some of the topic points.
While attending a local church, I began to have more questions. Those questions began to prompt a familiar nagging urge for more knowledge.
Before I knew it, I was attending church regularly.
I decided to check out a women’s bible study group that was meeting on Wednesday’s. It seemed interesting, something about Glory Days. We were going to be engaged in a six-week study by a man named Max Lucado. I’d never heard of him, but “at least I’d be learning something,” I thought.
On Wednesday, I entered a large white room, the last classroom in the corridor. The space was filled with women that I didn’t know. I spotted an empty conference-style seat next to a sweet-looking lady and sat down.
After the study leader opened with prayer and began the lesson, I became completely emerged in what Mr. Lucado was saying. Hanging on his every word, he uttered the five words that literally took my breath away. More importantly, those words changed my life course forever.
Here is the full verse:
“One of you can put a thousand to flight, because the Lord your God fights for you, just as He promised.” Joshua 23:10
You see, I’d been fighting my whole life. Fear fueled my anger and pain.
When all I really wanted was to be free from fear. I was so tired, my soul felt weary.
I learned that I didn’t have to fight anymore. I laid down my fear right there at that moment. I could leave that room in peace because God would fight for me …He promised.

Kwabs performed a sold-out show in his home city of London on Saturday (17.10.15) during which he whizzed through tracks from his debut album 'Love + War' and covered Major Lazer.
Kwabs performed a sold-out homecoming show in London on Saturday (17.10.15).
The 'Walk' hitmaker wowed London's Roundhouse with his first show in the capital since the release of his debut album 'Love + War' last month, following a UK tour and dates around Europe.
Two tracks into his set, he explained to the audience: ''Now that I've got your attention, I'd like to say it's nice to see you all again! You see we've been all over the place. We've been in what feels like a different country every day, week and month so it feels good to be home.
''Thank you all for being here. It means a whole lot and that's from the bottom of my heart.''
The critically lauded singer, 25, opened the show with the tension-building title track from the record before showcasing other songs from the LP including 'Layback' and 'Look Over Your Shoulder', during which he introduced his band and flaunted his dancefloor talents with a flurry of choreographed moves.
The MTV EMA and MOBO nominee - whose full name is Kwabena Adjepong - showed off his versatile voice for over an hour at the venue, where he stripped back his sound to sing 'Forgiven' and his cover of James Blake's 'The Wilhelm Scream' before raising the roof with a rendition of Major Lazer's 'Lean On'.
Later, he brought out rising star Zak Abel - who opened for him earlier in the evening - for a duet of emotional ballad 'Cheating On Me' which proved to be another of the show's many highlights, as well as encore tracks 'Walk' and 'Perfect Ruin'.
With over two years of touring experience, Kwabs' stage show is better than ever and by the sound of his debut release, his is a name we'll be hearing far more about in the future.
Kwabs' set list at Camden's Roundhouse in London is as follows:
'Love + War'
'Look Over Your Shoulder'
'The Wilhelm Scream'
'Cheating On Me'
'Wrong Or Right'

Now that my spider bite has finally healed, I am making the come back to running. Since I?m no longer a full-time sponsored professional athlete with an unlimited shoe supply, I headed down to the sports store to check out some new running shoes. Until this point, I have been 'limited' to choosing from just one brand.
Wow, the number and array of available brands and features are mind boggling. The funny thing is that as a seasoned runner of over 20 years, I found myself making so many mistakes.
It still amazes me just how many travelers make do with less than perfect workout conditions. The last business traveler I spoke to said he always packs his "roller" so he can do his push-ups and ab workout no matter where he is, and that his idea of a hotel cardio session is running up and down flights of stairs. I commend the motivation!
After traveling back and forth from Chicago to the Detroit area for 3+ years when I worked at Bank One, I can sympathize. I packed my Tae-Bo video, a jump rope and a stretch band.
Whether you're traveling on business and want to find the best hotel gym in Chicago, New York, Boston, San Francisco, or Dallas; or, have a little vacation time and are in search of the best hotel gyms in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Miami, or San Diego, this site has you covered.
Okay, how about a quick game of word association? You say Jazzercise. I say leg warmers. You say leg warmers. I say the 80's. You say the 80's and without even the slightest pause I blurt out, Jane Fonda! But that was then. Or is it now? It's 2006, people, and I'll be damned if Jazzercise doesn't appear to be making, what appears to be, a come back.
Two nights and 3 days in Vegas--more than enough time to see the sights, check out a new hotel, get some work done, sweat, and have a little fun...not necessarily in that order. As part of a business gig, I landed at TheHotel in the Mandalay Bay, an all-suite, swank experience. In fact, TheHotel's entrance alone is worth noting.
It is that time of year in the life of an endurance athlete. Back to the gym to work on keeping, and hopefully building, some strength before the summer rolls around. And, it?s always a good reminder of why I despise doing indoor workouts in a group setting. My goodness, in the matter of 3 or 4 workouts, I have seen some of the worst etiquette around the gym.
Isn't it common sense to:
1. Not sit on the only leg-extension machine without doing anything. Resting on a piece of equipment whilst recovering is NOT ok, particularly when another exerciser is hovering nearby.
You would think that, as the race director for Ironman Arizona, I'd be staying at our host hotel, the Tempe Mission Palms, every time I was in town. While I'd very much like it if that was the case, it's not.
The Tempe Mission Palms Hotel is THE place to stay if you have business in Tempe.
Bikram Yoga. Ever heard of it? It?s hatha yoga practiced in a very hot (and fairly humid) room. The 90-minute class consists of 26 beginner poses. Did you catch that? Beginner poses, meaning anyone can do Bikram yoga. As founder Bikram Choudhury says, ?never too late, never too old, never too bad, never too sick, to start from scratch once again.?
In fact, a typical Bikram class is likely to be populated equally by young and old, big and small, in shape and out of shape, flexible and tight, strong and weak.
It's that time of year again, when we read/hear about the latest and greatest hangover cures.
But Athletic-Minded Travelers don't get hangovers, do we? Well maybe some of us do, but only because all that athleticism has made us permanent light-weights. So in the event you find yourself in need of an energy boost or efficient means of detoxing, consider sweating and then re-hydrating with distilled water.
Surprisingly, there is quite a bit of fuss regarding what water type is best for daily consumption.
In case you were wondering, we do practice what we preach. I just returned from a fabulous workout at the Holmes Place Athletic Club in Chicago. A couple thousand yard swim in a true lap pool and a quick free-weight strength session is a perfect start to my Saturday morning.
Access to this toney club was not granted to Erin and me because we're two famous travel experts--we wish. All Embassy Suites Chicago Lakefront guests receive the sweat perk for a $10 fee. And the club is less than a block away, so that walk over this morning in the below-zero wind-chill was no sweat.

The healing begins
The Montreal celebrations didn't mend all the rifts between the Mulroney and Harper factions, but they were a good start
[e-mail this page to a friend]
by L. IAN MacDONALD
The Gazette, Sunday, September 20, 2009
The prime minister's switchboard was on the line, asking if Brian Mulroney would take a call from Stephen Harper.
Harper, in New York for a speech, was calling Mulroney's hotel suite, about 45 minutes before the big event celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Conservative landslide in the 1984 federal election.
About 1,600 people paid $100 a head for the cocktail at the Sheraton, with net proceeds to Montreal's two children's hospitals. One of the $100 cheques was from Stephen and Laureen Harper, who was attending along with 20 ministers of the present government and 30 from the Mulroney era.
Harper congratulated Mulroney on the anniversary. Mulroney commended Harper on his trip to Washington, and for visiting the congressional leadership of both American parties, as well as the White House.
The conversation, brief but cordial, was the first time the present and former Conservative prime ministers had spoken in the nearly two years since Harper had declared Mulroney off limits pending an inquiry into his business dealings with Karlheinz Schreiber.
Two years on, the Oliphant Commission having completed its work - it is to report by year's end - Mulroney's 25th anniversary gala seemed a good opportunity for a healing of a rift that has caused division and consternation in the Conservative family.
Not only did Harper reach out to Mulroney with a phone call, he pointedly referred to the event in his New York speech: "Tonight in Montreal we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Mulroney government, the Conservative government that initiated the first modern comprehensive trade agreement between our two countries."
Then in a video he sent to the Montreal event, Harper was generous and gracious in his comments on Mulroney's legacy. Mulroney, in turn, offered a warm introduction of Laureen Harper. While it did not pass unnoticed that Mulroney neglected to mention Harper in his speech, he pointedly asked for a warm Montreal welcome for Laureen, who was clearly very happy to be there.
All in all, it was enough for Conservative Party luminaries such as Transport Minister John Baird to declare that they were all one big happy family again.
Well, maybe not all the way there, but it was a good step along the way.
Indeed, it was Baird who started up an ovation when Brian and Mila Mulroney walked into an after-event across the street at Decca 77.
Someone got the idea of putting the Harper and Mulroney cabinets together, along with Jean Charest's, and many of their senior advisers. As power cocktails go, this one was unique.
From the present cabinet, Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon and Environment Minister Jim Prentice flew in directly from accompanying Harper to Washington. Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Industry Minister Tony Clement were there, along with Baird and 15 other federal ministers. For once, the gridlock of black limos wasn't for a concert next door at the Bell Centre.
From Mulroney's cabinet, Bill McKnight and Don Mazankowski, still inseparable after all these years, sat down together for the hot buffet.
And Jean Charest, co-chair of the evening with Michael Wilson, brought most of his cabinet, including Finance Minister Raymond Bachand.
This is how Flaherty bumped into Bachand, standing in the buffet line with their wives.
"Hey, comment ça va?" Flaherty said.
This is not necessarily how the federal and provincial finance ministers always greet each other.
Bachand was off to Quebec the next morning for the special one-day sitting of the legislature to adopt a balanced budget bill, to take effect once the province returns to a surplus from the present Keynesian moment of prime-pump deficit spending.
Flaherty could only envy Bachand's prospects, though the U.S. experience of balanced-budget amendments in the states hasn't been very successful of late.
Bachand was there, not because his boss was, but, as he said, for a friendship with Mulroney that was formed all those years ago, when the future finance minister of Quebec's federalist party was a young firebrand in René Lévesque's Mouvement Souverainte-Association, forerunner of the Parti Québécois.
"We used to go lunch and argue all the time when I was in the MSA," Bachand recalled. "It was a lot of fun."
"Yeah," Mulroney recalled, "I used to tell him he had all the makings of a good federalist, and 40 years later, here we are."
This is how things are in the village of the Quebec political class. Everyone is connected to everyone. It was just such a network that led to an historic landslide, a quarter century ago, when a young Jean Charest, then just 26, was first elected to parliament.
"Excuse me," said the premier, who was leaving early. "I gotta go run Quebec."
