Lampeter to have its say on £10,000 funding for community groups
Community groups in Lampeter will soon have the chance to apply for funds from a pot of £10,000
committed by Dyfed-Powys Police Police and Crime Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn.
The commissioner has called on groups to take advantage of funding for projects that aim to
improve safety in the area.
Mr Llywelyn has committed £140,000 for Neighbourhood Policing Teams to spend within the
communities they serve. Each team will receive £10,000, with communities themselves voting on
how the money is allocated.
Lampeter is next on the list of events – and the NPT is calling on partner organisations and people
who live or work in the town to join forces and form a community planning group to make key
Mr Llywelyn said: "I have committed to fund this new and innovative approach to community
funding as I think it's vital that local residents have a say in how money is spent in their local area.
"They are best placed to work with the police, and indeed other partner agencies, to identify where
the money is needed and what would most benefit the local communities.
"Communities should be influencing the decisions.
"I urge the various community groups in Lampeter to consider the funding that I have made
available, and to contact the Lampeter NPT to discuss ideas, so the whole community can work
together to improve community safety."
The planning group will attend several meetings – either socially distanced or online – over the next
few months to agree on key decisions and planning. Details will then be released on how groups can
apply for the funding, and an event will take place, giving people a chance to vote on which projects
should benefit.
Superintendent Ifan Charles, force lead on participatory budgeting, said: "Participatory budgeting is
a way of giving communities a greater say in how their community evolves.
"Problem solving to find long term solutions to solve the issues that cause communities the greatest
harm, is at the core of our new neighbourhood policing model.
"Through informed community engagement and problem solving, the new neighbourhood structure
should reduce the long-term harm for our communities and with that, demand on our response
officers, but this will only work if our communities and partners are equally engaged.
"Participatory budgeting has worked really well elsewhere and I'm really excited to lead the
introduction of this innovative approach here."

Ceredigion lifesavers go the extra mile during lockdown
Loyal blood donors in Ceredigion have responded to a request from the Welsh
Blood Service to 'donate differently' by rolling up their sleeves to make a
lifesaving donation at one of the Service's new regional hubs.
Across Wales, of the 6,808 individuals that visited a Welsh Blood Service donation
session in May 63% of donors attended a clinic that was not their usual donation
In Ceredigion, 293 donors came forward to give blood in May, with 34 attending a
donation session for the very first time.
Following a series of Covid-19 related venue cancellations and social distancing
restrictions, the Welsh Blood Service was unable to host donation sessions at the thirty
community venues it would typically visit across Wales each week.
The Service introduced a new collections schedule at the beginning of April which saw
collections taken from five regional donation hubs at different locations in Wales each
week. Donors were asked to travel to donate at their nearest hub.
Alan Prosser, Director of the Welsh Blood Service, said: "When it became clear we
couldn't continue with business as usual, we knew we'd have to ask donors to donate
differently. Our regional donation hubs have replaced our usual local collections
programme and the response from donors has been remarkable.
"98.3% of the appointments we've made available since lockdown have been taken
and many of these appointments have been taken by donors who have been prepared
to go even further out of their way than they usually would just to make a potentially
lifesaving donation."
The Service has also observed a sharp rise in the number of new donors coming
forward to donate.
Mr Prosser continued: "In May 2019, around 11% of those that attended our donation
sessions were new donors. This May, around 19% of our attendance has been people
who had never given before.
"We've also see a surge in the number of donors who haven't given in years returning
to our sessions to help us boost stocks. It's been amazing and we're hugely grateful."
Blood stocks in Wales have remained healthy throughout the pandemic as the reduced
collections activity has mirrored a reduction in the volume of blood used by hospitals.
However, the Service is urging donors to continue to attend their local sessions as and
when lockdown restrictions are lifted.
"Blood stocks are currently very healthy thanks to the commitment of new and existing
donors but we need people to keep giving blood to ensure we can continue to meet
hospital demand in the coming months. Travel to donate is considered essential travel
and anyone who is fit, well and eligible to donate can book an appointment through the
welshblood.org.uk website."
Porth Cymorth Cynnar supporting residents in Ceredigion
During this challenging period, Porth Cymorth Cynnar has established a virtual platform to ensure that we are able to keep in touch with vulnerable residents across Ceredigion.
Due to the restrictions introduced to safeguard our communities against COVID-19, many residents are not able to access their usual provision or support such as parent groups or GP Referral Exercise Classes. Instead, we are ensuring that all residents whom are known to our services, and others, are kept in touch with, through regular welfare calls, should they wish.
Around 2000 residents from young people to families to carers, who may require or benefit from regular contact whilst their service is not operating in its usual form, will receive communication from our staff.
To date, almost 2000 welfare calls have been made, and have been well received by people across Ceredigion. Residents have said that it is great that someone is keeping in touch with them, to give them an opportunity to have a weekly phone call and someone to talk to.
Mrs Jones* (name changed for anonymity) who is 92 and lives alone, is used to receiving regular visits from Ceredigion's mobile library was identified as benefiting from a weekly phone call, to check how she was doing, now that her usual library service would not be visiting for a while. Porth Cymorth Cynnar aimed to get in touch with Mrs Jones, but did not have a contact number. After tracking down a contact number through the local directory, a member of the Porth y Gymuned team was able to make contact. Luckily Mrs Jones has the support of family and neighbours to collect groceries, but nonetheless was extremely grateful to have someone to talk to, and to check that she is OK. A weekly phone check in has been organised with Mrs Jones, to ensure that she is doing well and to organise if she is in need of anything.
If you, or anyone you know would benefit from the Keeping in Touch Service, please get in touch with our Customer Services team on 01545 570881 or firstname.lastname@example.com who will triage your query to Porth Cymorth Cynnar.
Porth Cymorth Cynnar are also regularly updating resource lists which are available on the Ceredigion County Council website here: http://www.ceredigion.gov.uk/coronavirus

Welsh Conservatives Select Candidate for Ceredigion

MOSCOW, Russia (CNN) -- Pavel Petel was once an open, flamboyant bisexual man from Ukraine who built up a career as a model, performance artist and DJ in Russia. Photographs of him semi-naked while riding a horse and brandishing a gun are a feast for web surfers.
But after he and his partner Sergey Ostrikov were attacked outside Moscow, and especially since a bill banning gay "propaganda" was passed in June, Petel has feared for his safety. He is losing business -- and blames that on the law and an increasingly less tolerant climate towards homosexuality.
"People in the regions are very aggressive towards gays. Sergey and I were lucky to be alive last year because some people wanted to kill us. My fear has been growing since then."
And recently, "I was working on my video when I turned on the TV and saw video of one anchor of a Russian channel who said that you need to burn the gays' hearts," he told CNN. "I had to continue to smile, perform, say 'hello sexy' but it was difficult. I started to be afraid.
"I'm dressed down now when I go on to the street and I'm afraid police could arrest me. They can implement the law against me. I know that I'm not safe.
"I'm afraid to do what I used to. I'll probably change. I'm scared to come to the streets now wearing wigs or heels. I've started to wear them much more rarely."
When he was growing up in the Soviet era, "life was easier," he recalled. "There was no pressure to make you chose who you are." Indeed he doesn't even define himself as a gay man at all. "I've never actually thought about myself being a gay or a straight or anything else. I still don't think about it and I didn't think about it in my childhood."
Russia insists the new law, which bans "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations around minors," is intended to protect children. It bars discussion of gay rights and relationships within earshot of children.
International rights groups have called the legislation highly discriminatory, as anti-gay attacks are on the rise in Russia and are sometimes perpetrated by the police themselves.
There have been widespread calls for boycotts and protests -- including a vodka-dumping demonstration in Los Angeles -- casting a pall over the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The gay rights group, All Out, has delivered a petition with hundreds of thousands of signatures denouncing Russia's stance on gay rights.
Petel, who lives in Moscow, said that although he believes the law is "designed against people with non-traditional sexuality" he does not support a boycott.
"I hear a lot now about boycotting the Olympics or vodka. It makes me laugh. Why? First of all, because we all know that no one will ever boycott Olympics for the sake of this because financial interests of the countries are more important than the freedom."
Such a move could cause a backlash against homosexuals, he fears. "It may even be designed against the gay community of Russia to turn everyone against them. Because people will say that it's gays who sabotaged and boycotted the Olympics and people will just burn us with our hearts."
Moscow, a city of more than 11 million people, has only a handful of gay night clubs, none of which would allow CNN's cameras inside. And on the street, few people are willing to be identified.
Viktor Michaelson says most of Moscow's gay population has always lived in secret -- and that they now have even greater reason to embrace anonymity.
The gay scene here is often referred to as a ghetto. Michaelson says: "[Gay people] aren't imposed to stay in the ghetto but they feel more comfortable because they can be themselves."
Alexander Gudkov says outside the ghetto there's a clear rule -- don't ask, don't tell -- but that he wants more from life.
"It's very bad. I want to live in open life. And I want to live my life. It's not my choice, it's my life," Gudkov says.
What does the future hold then for gays in Russia? Petel understands why acceptance in the country has come slowly, but says: "Russia would benefit from appreciating gays the same way that Indians appreciate their cows. To me, gays are usually kind, talented, genial, creative and I feel sorry that they're leaving. It's not civilized.
"I think it will be back to normal again in 10 years but the new young generation should come to power and change the laws. Maybe we'll see the first Russian gay president in 10 years. Or maybe it will be a woman."

It's the most Satanic time of the year. Help us out by supporting our Truth War on German Lutherans. You can continue pledging your total allegiance to us by doing this, continuing your committed support of
Bush's illegal invasion of the Iraq war and outlawing Christmas as one of our most hallowed Discernmentalists has noted: " Btw, if you want to see a large, lavish Christmas display in a mall… go to Dubai in the UAE! Many countries that are not Christian celebrate this holiday. That right there should tell Christians it's not of God!"
And you wouldn't want to do anything that non-Christians let alone non-Americans do. Why if you celebrate Christmas you are supporting terrorism and the terrorists. Most of all how dare anyone have fun or take pleasure and joy in anything….for fun, pleasure and joy are a sin and you know how much our God of Absolute Sovereign Wrath and commendable hatred hates sin and sinners.
So this December pray that the war on Iraq continues and that more people would open their eyes and make war on Christmas. This message is brought to you by your friendly neighborhood GOIP Committee of Concerned Citizens in conjunction with Killjoy Puritan Calvinazi Church.

Winners of the 2000 Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology's highest honors for the year 2000 have been awarded to researchers at Georgia Tech, HP Labs, and UCLA for major advances in the ability to build useful devices and structures with atomic precision.
Georgia Tech physicist Uzi Landman won this year's Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theoretical) for his pioneering work in computational materials science for nanostructures. Such computer modeling provides deep insights into the nature and properties of matter at the nanoscale, and is essential in predicting what could be built at the molecular level, reducing time spent on expensive "wet" lab experiments.
The Experimental Prize went to the multidisciplinary team of chemist R. Stanley Williams and computer scientist Philip Kuekes, both of HP Labs in Palo Alto, along with chemist James Heath of UCLA. They were cited for building a molecular switch, a major step toward their long-term goal of building entire memory chips that are just a hundred nanometers wide, smaller than a bacterium.
The Prizes were given at the 8th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology, held this year in Bethesda, Maryland with a record international turnout of over 400 nanotechnology researchers and funders including numerous venture capital firms, a first for this budding industry.
Finalists for the 2000 Feynman Prizes
The following five individuals or teams were selected as Finalists for the 2000 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, Experimental:
The following five individuals or teams were selected as Finalists for the 2000 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, Theoretical:
2000 Feynman Prizes for Theoretical and Experimental Molecular Nanotechnology
Two prizes in the amount of $5,000 each will be awarded to the researchers whose recent work has most advanced the development of molecular nanotechnology. This year again separate prizes will be awarded for theoretical work and for experimental work. The prizes will be given at the Eighth Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology, to be held November 3-5, 2000.
This prize is in honor of Richard P. Feynman who, in 1959, gave a visionary talk at Caltech in which he said "The problems of chemistry and biology can be greatly helped if our ability to see what we are doing, and to do things on an atomic level, is ultimately developeda development which I think cannot be avoided."
Relevant Research Areas
Research areas considered relevant to molecular nanotechnology and molecular manufacturing include but are not limited to:
Special consideration will be given to submissions clearly leading toward the construction of a general-purpose molecular assembler. Applicants wishing further information on the field of the prize are referred to the book Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation (Wiley Interscience, 1992).
Selection Committee for the 2000 Prize
A committee of previous Feynman Prize winners has agreed to select this year's honorees:
Previous Feynman Prize winners
Distinctions between the annually awarded Feynman Prizes and the Feynman Grand Prize
The 2000 Feynman Prize will be the most recent in a series of annually awarded prizes for accomplishment in molecular nanotechnology. Both the annual Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology and the Feynman Grand Prize are sponsored by the Foresight Institute to encourage and accelerate the development of molecular nanotechnology. Both are named in honor of Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman. However, these prizes differ in focus, frequency of award, and scale.
Submission or Nomination Procedures
Either submit your own work or nominate a colleague who deserves this prize.
Submissions (and nominations) consist of up to five maximum of the following:
In addition, each submission or nomination must include a one-page summary of the work and its relevance to the goal of molecular nanotechnology and/or molecular manufacturing. [If the journal article submitted has multiple authors, the applicant's (nominee's) role in the research must be stated.] Summaries may be up to 400 words in length.
Submissions should be mailed to the Foresight Institute at the postal address below, to arrive by July 31, 2000. One copy of the paper or thesis and one copy of the one-page summary are required. The summary must include the applicant's address, telephone, and (if possible) fax number and email address. In the case of nominations, contact information should be included for both nominator and nominee. Finalists may be contacted for additional information. The prizewinner must be present at the conference to accept the prize.
Applications may also be based upon more than one research paper, up to a maximum of five papers, in which case a copy of each paper should be submitted.
Individual submissions are preferred, but teams of up to three will be considered. Team members may not be changed after the submission deadline.

História biográfica
The Most Reverend Robert John Renison [1875-1957]
The Most Reverend Robert John Renison is an important figure in the history of the Anglican Communion in Canada due to his role as Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario. He also was known as a gifted writer of books and articles and was a popular religion columnist for the Globe and Mail for over 20 years. He was born in Ireland in the little village of Clonoulty near Cashel in the County Tipperary in 1875. His father was the Rev. Canon Robert Renison and his mother was the former Mary Elizabeth Kennedy, an American citizen that the Rev. Canon Renison met while on a trip to the United States. The Rev. Robert John Renison was the oldest of three boys, all of whom became Anglican (or Episcopalian) priests. In addition, he had three sisters. In 1914 he married Elizabeth Bristol of Hamilton, Ontario. They had two sons, Robert John Bristol Renison born in 1916, and George Everett Bristol Renison born in 1918. George Renison (d.1998) was married to Nancy Stirett and had three children; Katherine, Carol and Michael. Robert John was married to Shirley Sommerville (d 1957) and had one son Robert.
Bishop Renison immigrated to Canada in 1880 when his father answered a call to serve as a missionary to the Ojibway on the shores of Lake Nipigon. He was educated at Trinity College School in Port Hope Ontario from 1886-1892 on a scholarship for children of Anglican Priests, at the University of Toronto where he received a B.A. in English in 1895 and a M.A. in 1896, and at Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto. He received a D.D. degree from St. Johns College in Winnipeg in acknowledgement of his missionary work. He was ordained as a deacon in 1898 and as a full priest in 1899. After graduating from Wycliffe College he enlisted in the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers under the pseudonym "Sergeant Patrick O'Reilly." His first parish position was as a missionary priest near James Bay, Ontario, where he served until 1912. From 1912-1927 he was Rector of the Church of the Ascension in Hamilton, Ontario, except for a leave from 1918-1919 when he served as Anglican Chaplain for the 21st Battalion expeditionary Forces in World War I in France. He was Rector of Christ Church in Vancouver from 1927-1931 and Dean of New Westminster from 1929-1931. From 1931-1932 he was Bishop of Athabasca. From 1932- 1943 he was Rector of St. Paul's Church on Bloor Street in Toronto. In 1944 he became Bishop of Moosonee. In 1952, he became the 9th Metropolitan (Head Bishop) of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario, a position he held until his retirement in 1954. He died in 1957. His funeral at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Bloor Street, where he served as rector for many years, was packed with over 2000 mourners.
A dedicated missionary, he spent much of his career as a missionary with the first nation people in northern Ontario. He spent the first 14 years of his career as a missionary in the James Bay region. He was fluent in Cree and in writing the Cree syllabary language, eventually writing a hymnal in Cree. He was considered an advocate for members of the first nation tribes in northern Ontario for his time and was given the name "Sheegoos" or "the good medicine which comes once a year" in Cree. Upon his appointment to Metropolitan, he declined the opportunity to serve in Southern Ontario, preferring to stay in the Diocese of Moosonee. He was considered to be a gifted orator with a strong intellect and a rich sense of humour. He was a much loved rector during his time in Hamilton, Vancouver and Toronto as well.
He was a talented writer publishing a number of books besides his Cree Hymnal including the Life of Bishop Sullivan, Canada at War, Wednesday Morning, (which was a selection of his editorials for the Globe and Mail), For such a Time as This, (which was a collection of his sermons), and One Day at a Time, (his autobiography). Starting in 1937, he wrote a popular newspaper column in the Globe and Mail which he continued until his death in 1957. As a result of his weekly column and his work as a rector and Archbishop, he was held in high regard by Anglicans in Ontario for his spiritual leadership. In September of 1941 he travelled to London, England as one of a number of Canadian journalists and writers, in his case representing the Globe and Mail, as a guest of the British Council.
He left a legacy with his writings and books and also in the honours which were bestowed on him as a result of his life's work. In 1959, the newly formed Anglican College in Waterloo, Ontario, which would become later become affiliated with the University of Waterloo, was named in his honour. The Renison family remained in close contact with the college, with Bishop Renison's widow Elizabeth often being present for College events in early years. His son, George Everett Bristol Renison, a World War II hero and the founder and chairman of W.H. Smith Canada, served as Chancellor of Renison University College from 1986-1992.

Convictions Overturned In Slayings Of 3 Kids
Attorney: Prejudice Drove Verdicts
Maryland's highest court has ruled that two Mexican immigrants accused of killing three young relatives are entitled to another trial because a judge failed to show jury notes to their defense attorneys.
"I was obviously happy, because I think they got it right," defense attorney Brian Murphy said. "I think it was a great decision. Close, 4-3, but it's all about a fair trial."
"I had a chance to speak to a couple of the jurors afterward, and it's my opinion their decision was not based on evidence at all. What was it based on? Maybe based on prejudices," Canela's attorney, James Rhodes, said.
Policarpio Espinoza Perez and Adan Canela were charged with killing the children in a Baltimore home in May 2004. The children were ages 8, 9 and 10.
Perez and Canela were convicted in 2006 and are serving life sentences. They could face another trial if the State's Attorney's Office decides to try them again.
In an email to WBAL-TV on Friday afternoon, Mark Cheshire of the State's Attorney's Office said, "We will carefully review the Courts opinion before determining the next steps taken by our office."
The slayings occurred in a northwest Baltimore apartment. The victims were identified as 10-year-old Alexis Espejo Quezada, 9-year-old Ricardo Espinoza Jr. and 8-year-old Lucero Espinoza.
Officials said one child was beheaded, and the other two were partially decapitated. Police found a butcher's knife covered in blood behind the apartment complex.
The crime scene was reportedly so brutal that even some veteran police officers were left shaken.
The Court of Appeals made Friday's ruling in a 4-3 decision. Judge Clayton Greene Jr. wrote for the majority that the judge's error "deprived counsel of the opportunity to have input" into the court's response to the jury. Three dissenting judges noted defense attorneys saw the judge's error and didn't object.
I-Team: Motive Never Determined
One thing that has never been clear in the case is a motive, according to I-Team lead investigative reporter Jayne Miller.
Another relative, Victor Espinoza, who moved back to Mexico following the second trial, was murdered in December 2009.
Police said his wife, Guadalupe, ordered the hit. Whether that slaying will factor into a possible third trial remains to be seen, Miller reported Friday.
A seven-week trial of Perez and Canela in the summer of 2005 ended in a hung jury mistrial.
Rhodes said he was confident that Canela would be acquitted based on evidence.
"I expect that, right now, someone out there is running free who was involved in this crime. Whether they're still in the U.S. or not, I'm not sure," Rhodes said.

A year after a tornado devastated the Missouri town of Joplin and killed 161 people, President Obama on Monday night addressed the graduating seniors of Joplin High School, telling them that their resilience in the face of disaster was an inspiration to people everywhere.
"You've grown up quickly over the last year," he said. "You've learned at a younger age than most that we can't always predict what life has in store for us. No matter how we might try to avoid it, life can bring heartache .... But here in Joplin, you've also learned that we have the power to grow from these experiences. We can define our own lives not by what happens to us, but by how we respond."
Here's the full text of his speech as prepared for delivery and provided by the White House:
Remarks of President Barack Obama – As Prepared for Delivery
Joplin High School Commencement Address
Missouri Southern State University
Monday, May 21, 2012
Joplin, Missouri
Good evening Superintendent Huff, Principal Sachetta, faculty, parents, family, friends, the people of Joplin, and the class of 2012. Congratulations on your graduation, and thank you for allowing me the honor of playing a small part in this special day.
The job of a commencement speaker – aside from keeping it short and sweet – is to inspire. But as I look out at this class, and across this city, what's clear is that you're the source of inspiration today. To me. To this state. To this country. And to people all over the world.
Last year, the road that led you here took a turn that no one could've imagined. Just hours after the class of 2011 walked across this stage, the most powerful tornado in six decades tore a path of devastation through Joplin that was nearly a mile wide and thirteen long. In only 32 minutes, it took thousands of homes, hundreds of businesses, and 161 of your neighbors, your friends, and your family members. It took Will Norton, who had just left this auditorium with a diploma in his hand. It took Lantz Hare, who should've received his diploma next year.
By now, most of you have probably relived those 32 minutes again and again. Where you were. What you saw. When you knew for sure that it was over. The first contact you had with someone you love. The first day you woke up in a world that would never be the same.
And yet, the story of Joplin is the story of what happened the next day. And the day after that. And all the days and weeks that followed. As your city manager, Mark Rohr, has said, the people here chose to define the tragedy "not by what happened to us, but by how we responded."
That story is part of you now. You've grown up quickly over the last year. You've learned at a younger age than most that we can't always predict what life has in store for us. No matter how we might try to avoid it, life can bring heartache. Life involves struggle. Life will bring loss.
But here in Joplin, you've also learned that we have the power to grow from these experiences. We can define our own lives not by what happens to us, but by how we respond. We can choose to carry on, and make a difference in the world. And in doing so, we can make true what's written in Scripture – that "tribulation produces perseverance, and perseverance, character, and character, hope."
Of all that's come from this tragedy, let this be the central lesson that guides you and sustains you through whatever challenges lie ahead.
I imagine that as you begin the next stage in your journey, you will encounter greed and selfishness; ignorance and cruelty. You will meet people who try to build themselves up by tearing others down; who believe looking after others is only for suckers.
But you are from Joplin. So you will remember, you will know, just how many people there are who see life differently; those who are guided by kindness and generosity and quiet service.
You'll always remember that in a town of 50,000 people, nearly 50,000 more came to help in the weeks after the tornado – perfect strangers who've never met you, and would never ask for anything in return. One of them was Mark Carr, who drove 600 miles from Rocky Ford, Colorado with a couple of chainsaws and his three little children. One man traveled all the way from Japan, because he remembered that Americans were there for his country after last year's tsunami, and he wanted the chance to pay it forward. Many were AmeriCorps volunteers who have chosen to leave their homes and stay here until Joplin is back on its feet.
There was the day that Mizzou's football team rolled into town with an 18-wheeler full of donated supplies. Of all places, they were assigned to help out on Kansas Avenue. While they hauled away washing machines and refrigerators from the debris, they met Carol Mann, who had just lost the house she lived in for eighteen years. Carol, who works part-time at McDonald's even as she struggles with seizures, told the players that she had even lost the change purse that held her lunch money. So one of them went back to the house, dug through the rubble, and returned the purse with $5 inside.
As Carol's sister said, "So much of the news you hear is so negative. But those boys renewed my faith that there are so many good people in the world."
That's what you'll remember. Because you are from Joplin.
You will remember the half million dollar donation that came from Angelina Jolie and Missouri native Brad Pitt. But you'll also remember the $360 that was delivered by a nine-year-old boy who organized his own car wash. You'll remember the school supplies donated by your neighboring towns, but also the brand new laptops that were sent from the United Arab Emirates – a small country on the other side of the world. When it came time for your prom, make-up artist Melissa Blayton organized an effort that collected over a 1,000 donated prom dresses, FedEx kicked in for the corsages, and Joplin's own Liz Easton, who lost her home and her bakery in the tornado, made 1,500 cupcakes for the occasion.
There are so many good people in the world. There is such a decency, a bigness of spirit, in this country of ours. Remember that. Remember what people did here. And like the man from Japan who came to Joplin, make sure to pay it forward in your own life.
Just as you have learned the goodness of people, so have you learned the power of community. As take on the roles of colleague and neighbor and citizen, you will encounter all kinds of divisions between groups – divisions of race, and religion, and ideology. You'll meet people who like to disagree just for the sake of being disagreeable; who prefer to play up their differences and instead of focusing on what they have in common, or where they can cooperate.
But you are from Joplin. So you will know that it's always possible for a community to come together when it matters most.
After all, a lot of you could've spent your senior year scattered throughout different schools, far from home. But Dr. Huff asked everyone to pitch in so that school started on time, right here in Joplin. He understood the power of this community, and the power of place. And so teachers worked extra hours, and coaches improvised. The mall was turned into classrooms, and the food court became a cafeteria – which sounds like a bit of an improvement. Sure, the arrangements might have been a little noisy, and a little improvised, but you hunkered down, and you made it work. Together.
Together, you decided that this city wasn't about to spend the next year arguing over every detail of the recovery effort. At the very first town meeting, every citizen was handed a Post-It note, and asked to write down their goals and their hopes for Joplin's future. More than 1,000 notes covered an entire wall, and became the blueprint that architects are following to this day.
Together, the businesses that were destroyed in the tornado decided that they weren't about to walk away from the community that made their success possible. Even if it would've been easier. Even if it would've been more profitable to go somewhere else. Today, more than half the stores that were damaged on the Range Line are up and running again. Eleven more are planning to join them. And every time a company re-opens its doors, people cheer the cutting of a ribbon that bears the town's new slogan: "Remember. Rejoice. Rebuild."
I've been told that before the tornado, many of you couldn't wait to leave here once high school was finally over. Your student council president, Julia Lewis, said, "We never thought Joplin was anything special; but seeing how we responded to something that tore our community apart has brought us together. Everyone has a lot more pride in our town." It's no surprise, then, that many of you have decided to stick around, and go to colleges that aren't too far from home.
That's the power of community. That's the power of shared effort. Some of life's strongest bonds are the ones we forge when everything around us seems broken. And even though I expect some of you will ultimately end up leaving Joplin, I'm convinced that Joplin will never leave you. The people who went through this with you; the people you once thought of as simply neighbors or acquaintances; classmates or even friends – the people in this auditorium tonight – they are family now. They are family.
In fact, my deepest hope for all of you is that as you begin this new chapter in your life, you will bring that spirit of Joplin to every place you travel and everything you do. You can serve as a reminder that we're not meant to walk this road alone; that we're not expected to face down adversity by ourselves. We need each other. We're important to each other. We're stronger together than we are on our own.
It is this spirit that's allowing all of you to rebuild this city. It's the same spirit we need right now to help rebuild America. And you, class of 2012, will help lead this effort. You're the ones who will help build an economy where every child can count on a good education; where everyone who is willing to put in the effort can find a job that supports a family; where we control our own energy future and we lead the world in science and technology and innovation. America will only succeed if we all pitch in and pull together – and I'm counting on you to be leaders in that effort.
Because you are from Joplin. And you've already defied the odds.
In a city with countless stories of unthinkable courage and resilience over the last year, there are some that still stand out – especially on this day. By now, most of you know Joplin High senior Quinton Anderson, who's probably embarrassed that someone's talking about him again. But I'm going to talk about him anyways, because in a lot of ways, Quinton's journey has been Joplin's journey.
When the tornado struck, Quinton was thrown across the street from his house. The young man who found him couldn't imagine that Quinton would survive such injuries. Quinton woke up in a hospital bed three days later. It was then that his sister Grace told him that both their parents had been lost to the storm.
Quinton went on to face over five weeks of treatment, including emergency surgery. But he left that hospital determined to carry on; to live his life, and to be there for his sister. Over the past year, he's been a football captain who cheered from the sidelines when he wasn't able to play. He worked that much harder so he could be ready for baseball in the spring. He won a national scholarship as a finalist for the High School Football Rudy Awards, and he plans to study molecular biology at Harding University this fall.
Quinton has said that his motto in life is "Always take that extra step." Today, after a long and improbable journey for Quinton, for Joplin, and for the entire class of 2012, that extra step is about to take you towards whatever future you hope for; toward whatever dreams you hold in your hearts.
Yes, you will encounter obstacles along the way. Yes, you will face setbacks and disappointments.
But you are from Joplin. And you are from America. No matter how tough times get, you will be tougher. No matter what life throws at you, you will be ready. You will not be defined by the difficulties you face, but how you respond – with strength, and grace, and a commitment to others.
Langston Hughes, the poet and civil rights activist who knew some tough times, was born here in Joplin. In a poem called "Youth," he wrote,
We have tomorrow
Bright before us
Like a flame.
A night-gone thing,
A sun-down name.
And dawn-today. Broad arch above the road we came.
We march.
To the people of Joplin, and the class of 2012:
The road has been hard. The day has been long. But we have tomorrow, and so we march. We march, together, and you are leading the way. Congratulations. May God bless you, and may God bless the United States of America.

Hi, I have inherited this vintage singer sewing machine from my grandmother and I am looking to get some information of the value, history and how to find the right buyer for such items. What I have learned thus far is that it is a Model 27, made on January 27th, 1900 in New Jersey. It is one of 25,000 made at that time. I do not know how accurate this information given is so if anyone would be kind enough to help me I would really appreciate it,

We're overrun with sanitized, boring, no-nature-in-sight development.
We're overrun with sanitized, boring, no-nature-in-sight development.
So let's hear it for a Town of Newburgh developer in the 1960s who built his houses without cutting down all the trees. Some in the Ashwood Terrace neighborhood are giants.
Some tower 40-plus feet, just five minutes from the traffic's roar on busy Route 32's gas stations, big-box stores and malls.
Thus, today, this Ashwood Terrace locale is good habitat for both man and beast.
So says the Rev. Glenn Henricksen, who one recent day heard the hammering of a huge woodpecker the size of a crow in his Ashwood Terrace front yard.
It was busy digging grubs out of a towering red maple tree.
It was making a great racket — "a very loud thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk," said Henricksen.
"He was going at it 40 feet up the tree."
"I was really thrilled to discover that bird, because it is one startlingly beautiful creature."
It's definitely the kind of bird that makes people gawk.
The pileated woodpecker sports a flaming red crest, with a black body and white markings on neck and face.
"Just magnificent," says Henricksen.
Stunning, too, is the foliage in the Henricksens' backyard where Jennie, his registered-nurse wife, has fashioned gorgeous flowers and plants — such as lilies, a Japanese garden, roses and lots more.
"It's a jungle out there," says the minister.
Which means the Henricksens have many animal stories to share.
Such as the raccoon escape.
One day, Henricksen opened his shed door, woke a sleeping raccoon, and watched in amazement as it spread-eagled itself against the wall, then hurtled through a tiny opening to escape.
And on another day, recalls Henricksen, "a squirrel immolated itself on the overhead electric wires, and then — bang! — the lights went out."
A neighbor told Henricksen that one day a bear ran between their houses.
So this is a development that decided long ago to be mostly partial to wildlife, as well as man.
"It's wonderful," says the minister. "Another developer might have ripped out all the trees to make it convenient to build."
Because there are so many mature trees, it's a pileated woodpecker destination.
And that's so special, says Henricksen, because the woodpecker is a reminder of what happened to another huge woodpecker that may be extinct because its forest was brutally cut down.
"That was the majestic ivory-billed woodpecker of the South," recalls Henricksen. Today, one or two may linger somewhere, and it's listed as highly endangered or presumed extinct.
The last stand of trees where the ivory bill lived in Louisiana — 81,000 acres — were relentlessly clear-cut. Offers to buy the land were refused. A scientist wept when he saw the vast stumps.
But we've got the pileated, and habitat it loves. Such as the Henricksens' leafy realm.
Which is fabulous.
"The pileateds are cousins to the ivory-billed, only a little smaller," says Henricksen. "But the pileated is just as magnificent."
And the bird's got an Ashwood Terrace stop on its search for fat grubs.
The housing developer of this tract "did leave the trees on purpose," says the minister. "He didn't just rip them all out to make it convenient to build."
Last fall, on just one day, Henricksen stuffed 72 four- foot-tall garbage bags with leaves for pickup.
More work, yes. But then again, he said of the neighborhood, "We're relatively cooler in summer than people who don't have any cover."

As underclassmen like Edgar Wright rush his fraternity of hoarding filmmakers, Ridley Scott has been forced to step up his own binge-directing, adding another to a list of pending projects that lately has dwindled to just Cormac McCarthy's The Counselor and that Blade Runner sequel, lest his brothers roust him for being a pussy. Scott has re-teamed with prolific, trophy-attracting screenwriter Stephen Zaillian—who last worked with Scott on American Gangster—to develop a disaster film based on the BBC's 2003 mockumentary The Day Britain Stopped, which imagines a catastrophic series of train strikes and traffic jams that brings down the entire country's transportation system, leaving its citizens standing around bellowing, "'Ello, what's all this then?" in the streets, as wee, teary-eyed bairns await pudding trucks that will never arrive. The Hollywood Reporter notes that Scott and Zaillian have plans to expand the premise of a transportation crisis into a global catastrophe; dress rehearsals have already begun on [INSERT NAME OF FREEWAY IN YOUR AREA], am I right folks?

There was a moment, thirty odd years ago, when I considered switching from a social sciences degree to one in earth science — specifically geology. I like puzzles, and it's always seemed to me that rocks contain all the clues necessary for a really good puzzle — if only one can read them.
Auckland, where I live, is built on around 53 volcanoes, and New Zealand generally is one of the most geologically active places in the world. Our rock formations then, are tapestries which tell of tectonic events on a monumental and destructive scale.
The cliffs of East Coast Bays, where these photos were taken, are comprised of sandstone; volcanic sediments deposited when Auckland was submerged under ancient seas.
One of the most fascinating things about a walk along the beaches under these cliffs, is how quickly one formation gives way to another. Not only do the depth and colours in the layers change — so does the direction. Within the space of a few metres, horizontal layers become almost vertical, deformed by the movement of faults in the base rock.
Zoomed out — another puzzle. What forces made these cool patterns in the sandstone?

Healthcare reform discussions overlook key education triumph
Legislation includes billions of dollars for higher education
WASHINGTON - March 30, 2010 -
Largely lost in the celebration over the passage of healthcare reform was another huge win for students and the rest of the education community: the legislation passed by Congress includes billions of dollars for student financial aid and community colleges.
The legislation also cut banks out of the student loan business as middlemen by putting the federal government in charge of directly lending to students. The savings from that change will help fund a new $36 billion allocation for Pell Grants — the biggest spending boost to the program for low-income students since it was created. Between 2011 and 2017, the individual Pell Grant maximum will raise from $5,500 a year to $5,975. Lawmakers also included a provision to have the Pell Grant amount adjust for inflation. Previously, there was no such adjustment and in some years grant amounts remained stagnant while inflation grew.
Also, it provides roughly $2 billion for grants to community colleges, to help students complete their studies.
National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel applauded the measure, adding that "Making a college education affordable is a critical step in restoring economic growth and stability to our nation. Increasing both the amount and the availability of Pell Grants and student loans is a good beginning and long overdue."
The NEA played a key role in the higher education provisions. After numerous delays and setbacks, the year-long effort arrived at a successful and dramatic conclusion.
It was a year ago that President Obama stood in front of Macomb Community College in Michigan, his shirt sleeves rolled up, and laid out an ambitious goal. By 2020, America would once again produce the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.
In order to provide community colleges with some of the intended funds outlined in this American Graduation Initiative announced by President Obama, House and Senate negotiators included $2 billion, spread out over four years, for community colleges, in the legislation passed this week. The funds come through an existing Department of Labor program called Trade Adjustment Assistance. While this program traditionally provides direct benefits for training, health insurance support, and other supports to workers who have lost their jobs due to foreign trade, the new funding will provide program support money to community colleges that are often on the frontline of worker training. In the wake of the economic collapse, community colleges have seen enrollments jump significantly as laid-off workers seek training for new employment opportunities.
"It's difficult enough to keep college students focused on academic success," said Jim Rice, President of the National Council for Higher Education. "It's even more difficult when their days are filled with anxiety over how to pay the tuition and fear over the crushing debt many will face after graduation. This legislation goes a long way toward making college affordable to more American young people and in removing the anxiety many current students face over an uncertain economic future."
As the legislation moved through its final stages, higher ed faculty and staff from across the U.S. began gathering this past weekend in San Jose to strategize about ways to provide a quality education to students even as states cut funding to their schools.
More than 700 faculty and staff from U.S. colleges and universities attended the San Jose gathering. That number includes educators from 4-year comprehensive and research universities as well as educators from community and technical colleges. NEA represents over 200,000 higher education employees in the U.S.
In addition to the solutions to higher ed funding gaps in states, participants exchanged ideas on how to increase and retain the number of women and people of color, both as faculty and students, at all levels of higher education. Strategies to improve access and the success of students, including Latino students, the fastest growing group of students entering U.S. colleges, were a special focus.
"As someone who is currently working toward a college degree, I know first-hand the economic strain obtaining a college education places on the entire family," said Jermaine Coleman, NEAs student president. "This legislation will go a long way, not only in supporting students, but in protecting the economic security of American families."

Risser honored as 1 of 6 WWII veterans
Wisconsin state Sen. Fred Risser has been honored as one of six World War II veterans serving in a state legislature.
Risser received the Civic Medal of Honor award this week from the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The 86-year-old Risser is a Democrat from Madison who has been in the Legislature since 1957. He is the longest serving member of any state legislature in the country.
Risser joined the Navy just before his 18th birthday and just days before the Germans surrendered in 1945. The Japanese surrendered just before he finished boot camp.
He served in Panama before returning to the U.S. and used the G.I. bill to earn his undergraduate and law degrees.
Others honored were from Georgia, New Mexico, Virginia, Idaho and New York.

Michigan students suspended over 'Harlem Shake' video
HIGHLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- At least 30 students were suspended from Milford High School after shooting a video doing the "Harlem Shake."
Alex Larson, an 18-year-old senior, said he and his several of his friends, all juniors and seniors, were suspended for three to five days.
"For me, I got suspension of school and I got suspended from basketball (on Friday)," Larson said. "The consequence we got was a little over the top."
Director of Communications and Community Relations Kim Root said there was a second video, in addition to the "Harlem Shake." The second video had racially insensitive portions.
"There's more than one video and the second video was taken down off of YouTube. It has some very disturbing content as far as the racial content," Root said. "The Harlem Shake video, the students also violated many (parts) of the student conduct (rules)... It was indecent and vulgar and there was a live animal involved."
Only service animals are allowed in the school.
School officials also told Larson that the video was indecent and the students broke the rules of student conduct.
"They skipped two steps (of punishment) ... we could have community service or detention and what we got was really over the top and inappropriate," Larson said.
The video was shot after school in an empty classroom, Larson said. A teacher had given the students permission to use the room.
"We just told the teacher we were going to film in the classroom (and the teacher was fine with it)," Larson said.
Root said: "They lied to the teacher about the purpose of the video and the purpose of the classroom and there was a live animal involved."
Larson said they were just having fun, and they never anticipated it would be such a big deal.
"We had no intentions to harm the school at all in any way, and we didn't think we'd get in any trouble," Larson said. "If we had to do it again, we wouldn't do it anywhere near the school because we wouldn't want to deal with anything we've had to deal with ... We just wanted to do it for fun and make a video like we always do."
Root believes this needs to be looked at very seriously, and with serious consequences.
"With the increase of social media ... these things can lead to copycat videos and kids trying to push the envelope," she said. "The students were aware of the code of conduct and they violated several areas of the code of conduct."

The most important rule of gun handling……
Above all, safety is the most important consideration. Always know where the muzzle of your air gun is pointing and NEVER point it in an unsafe direction.
Whenever you shoot, make sure you know where the pellet is going to end up before you pull the trigger.
The Law
The law makes no distinction between air guns and more powerful guns for which you need a licence – they are all classed as firearms. This means that any offence you commit can carry a very heavy penalty – and there are at least 38 different offences.
Air gun security
From February 2011, the Crime and Security Act 2010 makes it an offence for a person in possession of an air gun to fail to take "reasonable precautions" to prevent someone under the age of 18 from gaining unauthorised access to it.
Who can shoot
18 years
If you are 18 years or older there are no restrictions on buying an air rifle and ammunition, and you can use it wherever you have permission to shoot.
14 – 17 years
You can:-
borrow an air rifle and ammunition
use an air rifle, without supervision, on private premises where you have permission
You cannot:-
buy or hire an air rifle, or ammunition, or receive one as a gift. Your air rifle and ammunition must be bought and looked after by someone over 18 – normally your parent, guardian or some other responsible adult. have an air rifle in a public place unless you are supervised by somebody aged 21 or over, and you have a reasonable excuse to do so (for example, while on the way to a shooting ground).
Under 14 years
You can:-
use an air rifle under supervision on private premises with permission from the occupier – normally the owner or tenant. The person who supervises you must be at least 21 years old.
You cannot:-
buy, hire or receive an air rifle or its ammunition as a gift, or shoot, without adult supervision.
Parents or guardians who buy an air rifle for use by someone under 14 must exercise control over it at all times, even in the home or garden.
It is illegal to sell an air rifle or ammunition to a person under 18 years of age.
Where you can shoot
Where you intend to shoot, always ensure that you are authorised by the landowner or person with the sporting rights and that you know precisely where the boundaries are. Get permission in writing, if possible, to remove any doubt.
Whenever you are in a public place you should carry the rifle in a gun cover and always ensure that it is unloaded and not cocked.
Going on to private land, or water, where you do not have permission is trespassing, and if you are carrying an air rifle it becomes armed trespass. Whether the gun is loaded or not, or whether you are carrying pellets, is irrelevant – armed trespass is a serious criminal offence carrying heavy penalties.
Only shoot where you have the permission of the landowner or tenant.
Firing pellets beyond your boundary
It is an offence to fire an air rifle pellet beyond the land where you have permission to shoot, unless the occupier of the neighbouring land has also given you permission. Where someone under 14 is shooting, both the young person and the supervising adult can be prosecuted.
It is also against the law, in England and Wales, to fire an air rifle within 50 feet of the centre of a highway if this results in someone being injured, interrupted or endangered. These offences could be committed, for example, when someone is shooting in their garden close to a road and the pellets ricochet onto the highway.
It is an offence in Scotland to discharge any gun in a culpable or reckless manner. This means shooting without caring about the safety of others.

Vail health: Heart of a competitor
VAIL CO, Colorado
When a high school football player died of sudden cardiac death, it shook a community. When an Olympic favorite in volleyball died in the same tragic way, it shook a world. Every year, 2,000 people under the age of 25 die from sudden cardiac arrest, estimates the American Academy of Pediatrics. Although sudden cardiac death is rare, it should be taken seriously. No one is ever too young to have heart problems. Vail Valley Medical Center (VVMC), along with a group of committed doctors are pooling their expertise and the latest technology in athlete screenings to prevent such a tragedy in our community.
Two-part screening
In our state, the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA) requires pre-participation physical exams (PPEs) for all high school athletes because they know one of the best preventions of sports injuries is finding hidden problems before they become major ones. It's not just important to screen for potential injury to limbs – it's also very much about the risk to life. Part of any thorough PPE exam is a check for a healthy heart.
"When it comes to sports, there are two focuses," said Cardiologist Lawrence Gaul of Avanti Cardiology, a division of the Vail Valley Medical Center.
One focus is on orthopedic screening. The other is screening of the cardio system and lungs to help detect any abnormalities. "The screening is to prevent sudden death, which is uncommon but catastrophic and devastating to a community," Gaulk said.
3D images of the heart
Although the odds are slim (1 in 100,000) a student athlete will die of sudden cardiac death, screening the heart through the PPE is the first step to keeping a student safe. Heart screenings and the use of EKGs can pick up on easily detectable and treatable heart-related issues as well.
"This is an opportunity to screen for common things like high blood pressure, which is important in the long-term, and also screen for the most uncommon things, such as sudden death in athletes," Gaul said.
Is there an easier, less costly way for doctors to test for faulty hearts?
Checking the heart doesn't have to be done in a clinic these days, at least not in Eagle County. VVMC's Avanti Cardiology recently purchased an echo machine, which makes checking a student athlete's heart much more convenient. An echo machine is a hand-held, cutting-edge machine made by GE about the size of a large flip phone. Inside, it has a screen, also much like a flip phone, with sleek, simple circular controls. But what it does is far more impressive than any phone – at least in the cardiologist's viewpoint. Only commercially available for two years, the tiny machine can take 3D images, similar to an echocardiogram, enabling a cardiologist to scan images of the heart, right then and there – no matter where you are.
On-the-spot testing
Dr. Gaul and his Avanti staff recently helped assess the fitness of hundreds of area middle and high school athletes at Battle Mountain High School. They performed follow-up EKGs on dozens of the athletes, checking for heart abnormalities. But right there in the BMHS classroom, Dr. Gaul did heart screenings of any athlete with a murmur or other immediately noted inconsistency with the echo machine. He performed 50 screenings that weekend with the hand-held machine and picked up on six students who had significant hypertension – only one of which had any history of hypertension.
"The echo machine can eliminate something as unnecessary for follow-up, and pick up on rare types of congenital heart defects," Gaul said. And most importantly, Dr. Gaul's new tool conveniently allows us to say our student athletes are safe to play on.

The weather forecast did not give the impression that this month's troop activity would be much of a winter outing. The temperature had been above freezing for most of the week. A lot of the snow cover had already melted before we left for camp on the evening of Friday, March 18. The forecast for Saturday had temps in the mid 40's, with rain Saturday night into Sunday morning. It was looking like the Boy Scouts would have to change a few of their planned activities.
The Boy Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 arrived at Camp Stearns about 7:30 Friday night. Five deer greeted us as we rode through the camp. The campmaster surprised us when he told us that the sledding hill was still open, but that is was very icy. The boys were happy to hear they could use the hill because that was one of the highlights of the weekend.
We did not have much daylight left when we arrived at camp so we quickly unpacked the vehicles and walked to the sledding hill to check out the snow conditions. They hill was still snow covered but it was extremely icy. The Scouts were able to slide down the hill on their belly, without the use of any sleds. They looked like a group of penguins. They returned later in the evening, after organizing their gear, with sleds for a proper sledding activity. The evening ended with the boys watching the movie "Dragonheart" in the lodge.
The older Boy Scouts worked with the younger Scouts on their advancement requirements Saturday morning. After lunch, the boys picked up snowshoes and frisbees from the camp staff, and walked to the disc golf course. A couple of deer greeted the Scouts on the fourth hole. The troop usually plays nine holes while at Camp Stearns, but since the broomball field was a mud pit, they decided to play the entire eighteen holes. This was the first time that many of the Scouts had worn snowshoes so that added a new experience to the game.
The rest of the afternoon was filled with rest, relaxation, and board games. Following a supper of steak, potatoes, and corn, the Scouts went back to the softened sledding hill for another hour of fun. The evening finished with the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade".
The troop awoke before 7:00 Sunday morning. By 8:30 am they had finished breakfast, had packed their gear, and had loaded the vehicles. It was time to go home and relax from a fun filled weekend.

"I would like to confirm our intention to participate in the upcoming spectrum auctions in March 2013.The go forward plan includes continuing with the Company's focus on its data centric-voice enabled strategy in select circles," SSTL President and CEO Vsevolod Rozanov said in a statement.
The company, which provides service under MTS brand name, said it has started the process of informing its customers in 10 circles Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, North East, Orissa and Punjab to switch to other telecom operators of their choice.
"SSTL is providing a 30 day time window to all its customers in the 10 circles to exhaust their balance and to port out to a telecom operator of their choice," it added.
The closing down of SSTL's operation in 10 circles will impact around 22 lakh customers on its network.
"SSTL has a customer base of over 14 million, out of which less than 15 percent come from the impacted circles," the company said.
Its spokesman declined to clarify whether the bidding would be for CDMA spectrum in the 11 circles where it has not mentioned any closing of operations.
Supreme Court had last year cancelled 21 out of 22 permits of the company in which Russian conglomerate Sistema JSFC and Russian government hold 56.68 percent and 17.14 percent stake respectively.
The company did not participate in November 2012 auction citing that its curative petition is pending before the apex court in which it has sought exemption from SC judgement that cancelled its telecom permits.
The curative petition of the company was rejected by the apex court last week.
In a separate order on February 15, 2013, the Supreme Court asked telecom companies whose licences were cancelled by it and could not win or participate in November 2012 spectrum auction, to close their operations.
SSTL, however, said the order does not impact its business and a separate order by the apex court on its matter is awaited.

Chelsea Clinton: Money Ain't a Thing
Chelsea Clinton, a woman who was paid $600,000 per year by a television network just to be named "Chelsea Clinton," has been doing some soul-searching. "I was curious if I could care about [money] on some fundamental level, and I couldn't," she says. "That wasn't the metric of success I wanted in my life."
That quote, by the way, is Chelsea's explanation of why she left her earlier job at a hedge fund. The $600K pseudojournalism job reporting on Nice Celebrities Who Are Good came after that. This is all from a profile of Clinton in the The Telegraph this weekend, which contains enough gobsmackingly un-self-aware pontification to prove once and for all that Chelsea Clinton—who may be bright, capable, and politically savvy—is also a clueless nepotism beneficiary of the first order.
"I will just always work harder [than anybody else] and hopefully perform better," says Chelsea Clinton, who lives with her hedge fund manager husband in a $10 million apartment.
Chelsea Clinton has worked at McKinsey, and at a hedge fund, and at NBC News, and now at the Clinton Global Initiative foundation. What do all of these jobs have in common? They are highly lucrative; they are extremely competitive; and Chelsea Clinton got each and every one of them because of her last name. To deny this simple fact is to deny reality. Even Chelsea Clinton would not (or should not) deny it. The problem with nepotism of this sort is not that the kids who benefit from it are necessarily incapable of doing the highly desirable, lucrative, and influential jobs that they get; it is that these highly desirable, lucrative, and influential jobs are not equally accessible for the non-celebukids of the world. Nepotism is unfair. It is undemocratic. It is unAmerican. To the degree that it persists, the notion of "equal opportunity" or "meritocracy" is a joke. For the daughter of the possible presidential candidate from the Democratic Party, this is not a small philosophical concern. It must, at minimum, be acknowledged, and actively fought against.
It is easy to not care about money when you are already a multimillionaire.
Chelsea Clinton "especially wants the foundation to address concerns that have 'existed too long in the shadows, that historically have made people uncomfortable'," the Telegraph writes. Admirable. The first concern she should address—though it may make her uncomfortable—is nepotism.

Doritos Jacked and What It Means to Be a Crunchy Chip
I thought this was going to be an easy review. Doritos Jacked are too big to easily fit in my (arguably large) mouth (see above image for size comparison), feature far more seasoning...
than their classic cousins...
...and are also noticeably thicker in profile.
They're the clumsy, overeager, chubby younger brother of the Doritos family: they want so badly to hang out in your mouth, but they're just not cool enough. Post complete! (Hit publish. "Make it rain" chips onto bed. Roll in chips while laughing and reveling in job well done.)
Or so it would have been if I didn't have this pesky question rolling around my head: what does a thicker chip really mean in terms of eating qualities? Well, according to one of my roommates, Jacked chips are crispier than classic ones. My other roommate's opinion? They're crunchier. As I watched my roommates heatedly debate chip texture through orange-stained lips, it dawned at me that the only way to get to the bottom of the issue was to eliminate subjective human interpretation.
I would (wait for it) run an experiment!
Independently, I suspended a Nacho Cheese and Jacked Dorito between two Dixie cups arranged on my kitchen scale and pressed each with my thumb until the chip broke.
The Nacho Cheese fellas (left), on average, broke at about 11 ounces of force, while their Jacked bros (right) withstood almost at a pound more. Great, there was my answer. Post complete! (Submit. Make rain. Roll.)
But wait, what did this pseudo-scientific experiment actually prove about texture? Well, as it turned out, I had no idea; I'm not a material scientist. But my friend Hootan Farhat is, so I asked him. I learned that I'd essentially performed an uncontrolled version of the three point flexural test used to determine things like brittleness, deformation qualities, and the flexural modulus in a variety of materials. Go me! However, sans controls and far more detailed measurement I could draw little conclusion from the data. Poor me!
Farhat said I shouldn't feel too bad, because even with accurate data from the three point flexural tests, I'd be hard pressed to conclude whether the chips were crispy or crunchy. In truth, scientists have grappled with this distinction for decades, and it's pretty complicated stuff.
Farhat sent me a summary of crispiness studies beginning in the 1950's and continuing to present day that used a huge range of techniques. Early methods were often as rudimentary as having participants bite pieces of biscuit with their molars while noting the rate of breakdown into smaller pieces, while present-day work relies on a combination of sophisticated machinery, expert sensory tasting panels, and rigorous mathematical analysis. But the really interesting studies? Sound and vibration analysis.
When you bite into something, it produces a unique sound. TIC Gums, a Maryland based company that's sold water soluble gums and resins since 1909, took this knowledge and created a Crunch Prints Library, "a sound library of MP3 recordings of the chewing experience of foods and a visual representation of the decibel level of each." The reason they made it? Because "describing the characteristics of the crunch can be difficult".
So does this all mean that, barring computer assistance or high-tech machines, simple humans like us can't reliably suss out the difference between crispy and crunchy? Of course not. In the end, most of the sound studies conclude that recognizing changes in pitch is key to categorizing differences in texture. Crispy foods produce a higher pitch sound when we bite them than do crunchy foods. Back to the chips I went, and sure enough, Doritos Jacked snap at a noticeably lower register.
Doritos Jacked? Crunchy. Classic Doritos? Crispy. Me? Rolling in some chips.

NASA's Latest Mission To The Moon Is On Track
NASA's latest mission to the moon is stuck in orbit around the Earth. And that sounds bad. But as NPR Science Correspondent Joe Palca explains, it's actually normal.
JOE PALCA, BYLINE: The Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer, or LADEE as the folks at NASA refer to it, is supposed to spend the next three weeks or so in orbit around the Earth. Each time around, LADEE will fire its engines, extending its orbit further and further from the Earth. Eventually, it will be so far out that the moon's gravity can take over. All told it will take about 30 days to reach the moon.
LADEE lifted off right on time this past Friday night from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Virginia coast.
LADEE was essentially asleep as it rode into space aboard a Minotaur V rocket. When the rocket dropped away, LADEE woke up and sent a status report back to Earth. Right away, mission controllers noticed that there was a problem. The spacecraft's four reaction wheels weren't working.
BUTLER HINE: A reaction wheel is a spinning disc, and you can turn a spacecraft by commanding the disc to spin faster.
PALCA: Butler Hine is LADEE project manager.
Without the reaction wheels, it would be hard to control the spacecraft. But as it turns out the reaction wheels were just fine, an overprotective software setting had shut them down. Hine said all they had to do was change the setting.
HINE: It actually only took us two hours to resolve the issue and then safely bring the reaction wheels back online.
PALCA: LADEE doesn't have any science to do until it reaches the moon, so Mission controllers will use the time while its looping the Earth to make sure all its hardware is working properly.
HINE: You look at the temperatures you're getting.You look at the voltages and currents your getting and then you tweak things. So we're in the tweaking phase but everything's looking really good right now.
PALCA: Once it gets to the moon, it has another 30 to 40 day check-out period, and then it can start its scientific mission of studying the tenuous lunar atmosphere and taking samples of lunar dust float above the Moon's surface.

Dubai's supposedly doomed, with half-finished buildings littering the skyline as their wealth trickles away like sand through a timer. Before I get more poetic, Abu Dhabi looks to be faring better, if this eco-city is anything to go by.
We first saw Masdar HQ a couple of years ago, when it was aiming to be the world's first positive energy building. Likewise, the entire eco-city of Masdar has just as lofty ambitions, where cars will be banned along with skyscapers (though obviously electric cars are welcome). Thus, the 6sqkm city, which should house 50,000 people at some point, will rely on solar power to make their little world go 'round.
Architects will place buildings close enough together so they can cast shade on their neighbours and ensure normal cars won't be driving through the streets. A form of public transport in the shape of podcars, which move by magnetic sensors, should be a fast way to zip around the city.
Really, it sounds like Masdar City is the closest thing we'll ever have to the future. I just hope the United Arab Emirates (and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who's coughing up the cash for the city) doesn't suffer much more financially, as the $US15 billion – $US30 billion it's meant to cost could easily escalate in the projected 10 years it'll take to create.

Jockeys are short little people with high voices that everyone makes fun of because they ride ponies for a living, but let me tell you something, brother—these guys (and gals) are complete badasses.
I've been watching previews for the new reality show on Animal Planet—yeah, that's right—called appropriately enough, "Jockeys: Win Or Die Trying" and I gotta tell you ... I'm pretty pumped about it. You've got fights, intrigue, horrific injuries, athlete temper tantrums and Kanye West music on the soundtrack. It says "Die" right in the title! It's got it all. There's even a lady jockey! Do I smell romance?
The truth is that being a jockey is way more dangerous than people realize or care to think about. Try falling off a moving horse sometime and see how quick you get back up. That's why these people are obviously insane, hyped-up, adrenaline junkies and if it wasn't for the fact that they weigh one-third what an NFL lineman does, they would probably be throwing bouncers through plate glass windows every night of the week. I'm certainly not going to mess with one.
Plus, let's face it—any show that can make jockeys look even the slightest bit cool has to be worth at least one slot on your DVR, right? (Premiere is tomorrow at 9 PM, by the way.)
