JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - World no. 1 platinum producer Anglo American Platinum (AMSJ.J) (Amplats) said on Monday it was too early to tell whether South African miners on an illegal strike will return after the company told them to resume work or face sacking.
"We will have an idea later in the morning," Amplats spokeswoman Mpumi Sithole told Reuters when asked whether the miners were reporting for duty.
But a labor leader at Amplats said the strike was on-going as no agreement had been reached.
"It's only the management that decided the workers should go back to work without an agreement. Nobody went to work, the strike is still going on," Evans Ramokga told Reuters.
Amplats said on Friday it offered a 4,500 rand ($520) one-off payment and agreed to start wage talks ahead of the expiry of current agreements next year in a bid to get around 30,000 workers back on the job at several of its mines.
The offer would lapse if workers do not show up for work on Monday.
The cost of the wildcat action, in its second month, is mounting and Amplats said it had lost almost 168,000 ounces in platinum production, worth over $250 million at current spot prices.
South Africa's gold and platinum sectors have been shaken by months of illegal and often violent strikes which have resulted in the deaths of around 50 people so far this year.
Most of the affected gold operations are back to work but Amplats, a unit of global mining giant Anglo American (AAL.L), is still struggling with the crippling strikes at a time when the viability of its operations are being scrutinised.

Now why didn�t you think of that?
Now why didn�t you think of that?
Sam Laughinghouse of Craven County likes playing golf. But he hates looking for errant tees.
�One day, while playing golf, I became frustrated at not being able to keep up with my tees,� Laughinghouse said.
He talked to many other golfers about his irritating dilemma and was surprised that most of them suffered from the same affliction.
This will never do, he thought.
�I decided there has to be a better way,� he said.
So off to his garage he went and sawed a Frosted Flake box, making the first proto-type of a tee caddy.
�I cut the top off about six inches long and one inch wide,� he said with precision. �I pinched one side together, like a bullet holder, and stapled between each hole. I put six tees in and had a six holder tee caddy.�
Laughinghouse clipped his new device to his pants� pocket and went golfing.
�It worked well,� he said.
After several more prototypes that included leather, plastic, vinyl and various other materials, Laughinghouse hit on a fabric clip-on six-tee holder and four-tee holder that can even hold a score pencil and can clip to a golf cap, belt, pocket or just about anything.
�This will always keep the tees at your fingertips,� Laughinghouse said.
While visiting golf clubs from New Bern to Myrtle Beach, S.C., Laughinghouse said he has received positive comments from golfers and encouragement from people about the tee caddy.
Laughinghouse said he doesn�t make any money off of the tee caddies he and his wife, Barb, package and that are made at Dot�s Upholstery in Dover. He sells them wholesale at $6 for the four-holder and $7 for the six-holder. They are being sold at area golf course pro-shops and at gift shops at Tryon Palace, The Galley and at Mitchell Hardware for a little less than $10, he said.
Laughinghouse, who for 48 years sold cookies and candy for companies before retiring, said he believed the tee caddy, which comes in black, tan, blue, green and pink, was a �good golfer�s tool that doesn�t affect your swing.�
And it also might be the answer to those lost minutes rummaging through bulky golf bags, empty pockets and golf carts.

Ceylon Arrack (http://www.ceylonarrack.com/)
Ceylon Arrack is a 100% natural spirit, distilled from the sap of the Coconut Flower and aged in Halmilla Wood. Even today Toddy Tappers can be seen hand collecting toddy from atop tall coconut trees, along the coastline of Sri Lanka (then Ceylon).
It is the only spirit in the world, which is naturally fermented. The sap starts to ferment naturally as soon as it is collected (or tapped) from the tree and needs to be distilled within 24 hours. Approximately four to six coconut trees need to be tapped to bring you a single bottle of 700ml Ceylon Arrack.
Rockland Distillery was established in 1924 and is a family owned company, where attention to the distillation process, aging and blending is still overlooked by the family members.
There is an art to distilling and over the years Rockland have become recognised as master distillers of Arrack. This spirit can only be found in Sri Lanka and should we close this distillery one day (to go windsurfing or to play the sax more often) this brand/spirit which is one of the last of its kind, would be lost to the world forever, but don't worry we plan to be around.
To explore Ceylon Arrack is to travel back in time to find one of the oldest spirits in the world. It is meant for adventurers who like fine and beautiful things in this world and then find a place for it in a perfect cocktail.

You can see everything the brand has to offer on the front page. It showcases the many facets of the brand. The pictures on the front page give a feel for each of the sections you could enter, so you can decide to enter or not, rather than entering and finding you didn't like it and then having to press the back space button. Okay Speed. Has screen saver and wallpaper for downloading; so I can keep a bit of the brand with me…
Designed anticipating the questions an existing customer, new customers or potential customers would ask.
The bottles are 'in your face'. A bottle is only a part of the brand and dominates the website. You have to search to find the brand story or press a link you cant see/feel the brand through the website.
Boring and slow; colours are not inspiring. Also very little content about the brand. Boring layout.
So much flash and navigation, but very little info when you get there. After a while you get lost as to where on the website you are…

The Calvert Court apartment house has stood at the southwest corner of North Calvert and 31st streets since 1915, and in recognition of its coming centenary, residents recently chose to honor its architect, Edward Hughes Glidden, with a plaque.
When it came to designing apartment houses, Glidden was a master, having designed some of the grandest in the city, such as the Washington Apartments in Mount Vernon Place, the Marlborough, the Homewood and the Tudor Arms.
The Homewood was Glidden's first foray into what is now Charles Village, which in those days was called Peabody Heights. It opened to residents in 1911.
He had a head for business and recognized that there would be plenty of need for apartments when the Johns Hopkins University was relocated from downtown to its new campus at Homewood. Also, streetcars rolled by on nearby St. Paul Street and along 31st, offering convenient transportation.
Glidden wrote a letter dated Jan. 16, 1915, outlining a proposal for Calvert Court to Eugene Levering, a businessman who had asked Glidden to design a building on property with a frontage of 202 feet.
"I therefore decided that if an apartment house were built of handsome design with a great open court, with a porch for each suite, with three bedrooms instead of two, and with a pantry for each kitchen, that we could obtain slightly more rental," he wrote. "Therefore, I figured on rentals from $600.00 to $800.00 per year."
He added that the building would be four stories high, erected in two main wings with a central court, and that "the construction throughout would be good in every way." He enclosed an itemized list of costs, which came to $91,683.50.
From that moment, things moved fast. A Baltimore Sun article two months later reported that the apartment house was rising on the site.
It "is a departure in some ways from the architecture usually embodied in such buildings in Baltimore," reported The Sun, which added that it would extend 202 feet on Calvert Street, where the main entrance would be located, and 123 feet on 31st Street.
Glidden told the newspaper that it would be the "largest of any apartment house in the city. Its architecture will be of the Italianesque style, the material will be of rough red brick, with stone and stucco trimmings and a Spanish-style roof," and it would be built by John F. Kunkel.
Another feature was that 24 apartments — out of a total of 32 units — would be two stories high, their floors connected by a stairway.
The apartments were spacious, with 9-foot ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces and Georgia pine floors. Some of the apartments had solariums, and all handrails in public hallways were brass.
Painters were paid 25 cents an hour, while carpenters earned 18.75 cents to 40 cents an hour.
Each unit had a refrigerator that cost $18.10. The entire building, including the basement, was outfitted with special Lancaster Shades that were on spring rollers and "complete in every respect. ... The material is to be of the highest quality used for the Emerson Hotel in Baltimore and the Shoreham in Washington," according to records of the Calvert Court Co., which owns the building that has been a co-operative since 1947.
When completed by the fall of 1915, five attached buildings stood on the site in a U-shaped formation around a central court planted with trees, flowers and boxwood.
On a recent summer afternoon, Charles F. Ritter, a retired Notre Dame of Maryland University history professor, and Daniel Perrine, a retired Loyola University Maryland chemistry professor, sat in the courtyard.
"It is built at all right angles," said Perrine, who spearheaded the effort that resulted in the plaque to Glidden becoming a reality. "Ever see a pie-shaped closet? I have them."
It lives up to its whimsical reputation with arched windows and brick entranceways that have a European feel. Elaborate architectural details abound wherever the eye roams.
"It makes me think of Italy," said Perrine, who added that the building once had sleeping porches that were meant as an escape from Baltimore's infernal summers.
"They have now been enclosed, and they still have slanted floors," said Ritter, as he points out for a visitor the little pipes, no longer in use, that once drained off rainwater and melting snow.
"None of the floors connect," said Ritter, a 10-year resident. "And there is no elevator."
"I think those stairs are contributing to my longevity," Perrine, who lives on the top floor, said with a hearty laugh.
Glidden, a Cleveland native who was the son of the Glidden Varnish Co. president and studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, died in 1924. He was 51.

Friday's patent temblor rolled through Silicon Valley with nary a word from the giant in Mountain View. Google did finally say a little about the ruling, without really saying much -- masterful, really. Keeping its Android system at arm's length until things shake out a little more was an objective well-met.
"The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims," the company said. "We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products."
And Apple doesn't?? Oh, wait...
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The companies in the case whipped up quick press releases on Friday after the $1.049 billion, appeal-bating verdict. Samsung's being a bit more, um, terse:
"Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices."
That last bit pairs with Google's talk point of price points and potential monopoly by Apple on mobile devices.
Google's other point around collaboration with partners fits with its legal help and amicus brief filed on Samsung's behalf during the trial. "The mobile industry is moving fast and all players -- including newcomers -- are building upon ideas that have been around for decades."
So the newcomers, which very well could exist with some Google Ventures at stake in them, and the decades-old design ideas will, eventually, come to some sort of head beyond last week's ruling.
Steve Jobs' thermonuclear approach to Google is still slow-rolling across the valley, with Google taking more of the critical-consumer-mass approach/defense (the ant) to Apple's war-on-all-fronts tactic (the grasshopper).

�Scientific Passport Through Time� brings a day of experiments and activities to Tryon Palace on April 13 in conjunction with the North Carolina Science Festival�s multi-day, statewide celebration.
"Scientific Passport Through Time� brings a day of experiments and activities to Tryon Palace on April 13 in conjunction with the North Carolina Science Festival�s multi-day, statewide celebration.
Tryon Palace and Craven Community College will provide children of all ages with an opportunity to conduct hands-on experiments that bring together science, history and fun.
�Scientific Passport Through Time� invites participants to pick up a passport from the North Carolina History Center ticket desk and then travel from station to station, picking up stamps and conducting hands-on experiments along the way. Most of the activities are offered at no cost, however, a One Day Pass is required to participate in all activities and pick up all the stamps.
�We are really excited about �Passport Through Time� because it gives us a chance to focus on science � a subject area we do not usually get to talk about on a regular basis,� said Karen Ipock, Tryon Palace Education Programs manager. �Science and history are typically taught separately but of course they are linked. This event allows us to work with Craven Community College to explore this link in a fun and interactive way that�s open to all ages.�
Experiments will be rooted in coastal and historical themes, spanning from river basins and groundwater to the discovery of germs and a little fun with alchemy.
Activities for �Scientific Passport Through Time� will be spread across Tryon Palace on both the historic sites and the N.C. History Center.
The events are from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
These are the events:
* River Basins
Participants will investigate how river basins function and relate that information to the local position within the Neuse River Basin. The Neuse River is the longest river in North Carolina and at its mouth is the widest river in the United States. The Neuse River Basin is over 6,000 square miles and home to more than 1.6 million people. Participants will investigate the impact the population has on the quality of the Neuse River.
* Groundwater
Fifty percent of North Carolina�s population relies on groundwater for their freshwater source. It increases to 90 percent when looking only at the coastal plain region. Groundwater takes the form of underground rivers, as water moves through the pore spaces between sediment � sand, gravel or fissures in rock. On average, Eastern North Carolina receives about 50 inches of rain each year. Of that, only about 1 inch makes its way back into the groundwater system.
* Start Spreading the Germs?
In the 1700s and 1800s, germs were a big problem, but thankfully things have gotten much better in the 21st century. Come find out how easily germs are spread and what you can do to prevent it.
* Hay House Experiment � Comparing 19th and 21st Century Experimental Techniques
Why does red cabbage juice change color? What did people use it for when America was young? Scientists still use the same principle to run similar tests today. Come find out how.
* Chromatography
How does the kind of ink used in the colonial period compare to ink used today? Come find out using a technique called chromatography as we compare these inks side by side.
* Alchemy
Using the alchemical arts, guides will transform the base metal copper to a higher aspect of silver by increasing the concentration of earth energies in a common penny. The final ascending transformation will be accomplished through an influx of fire and spirit that results in the formation of the most perfect of metals: gold. Visitors will also learn how the philosophical traditions of alchemy transformed into the modern science of chemistry.
* Kitchen Gadgets
Come see a variety of gadgets that were used in 18th century kitchens. At this hands-on table participants will explore early kitchen gadgets from the 18th century and see how they apply to 21st century appliances and kitchen technology.
* Planting Activity
Come plant a marigold seed and learn about how this flower would have been used in the garden, in the kitchen, for cloth and as a medicine. Not only does this experiment offer a take-home activity, it�s a perfect complement for Garden Love�s Weekend, which will also take place at Tryon Palace during the Science Festival. In addition to the Palace gardens being open at no cost for the entire a day, a free lecture will be held at 10 a.m. in Cullman Performance Hall that�s titled, �Eat Your Own Yard!�
For more information, call 639-3500 or visit tryonpalace.org.

Red vs Blue vs Decorum
Red vs Blue also showed up to PAX, as they did last year, the only thing different really is that they were soused from the word go. During their panel, they wore hats which they assured us were filled with water, as opposed to Vodka, which is odorless and colorless.
I've been reading discussions online about the recently announced Xbox Live pricing for the 360, and - provided you already have the real console and not the imposter system - the Gold Card with its thirteen months at sixty bucks actually seems pretty good. The price increase is marginal for the functionality on offer, and anyway, that's not what piqued my curiosity.
Looking at the "Premium" Gold pak, or whatever it is, they're throwing in a game and a coupon I'd imagine is useful chiefly for first-person titles. But those points - that has me intrigued.
Is that something they've talked about a lot? Because I don't remember much in the way of discussion about it. I've heard that the "Marketplace" for purchasing downloadable content, skins, and icons will support microtransactions, which is something we talk about from time to time here at the site. It looks like they've chosen a kind of intermediary system, an internal currency they can mete out and define - but I have two questions. One, will we need to purchase cards in game shops or "charge" our account with points before we can make these purchases?
And two, could the Xbox Live Marketplace be the testing ground for a larger Microsoft initiative to push micropayments online?
Because the knowledge I have about myself is near total, I sometimes believe that everything we do here is perfectly obvious, just because I know it. I don't know why I think that, it's ridiculous. In any case, I hear a lot of the same questions in panels and whatnot and setting up those answers here may well quench you.

Cold bats and fielding miscues continue to undermine solid pitching performances as the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School baseball team enters the stretch run of the season.
Cold bats and fielding miscues continue to undermine solid pitching performances as the Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School baseball team enters the stretch run of the season.
The Tiger Sharks played a doubleheader March 28, hosting Graceville in game on and facing Wakulla High School in the second.
Port St. Joe blasted Graceville 12-1.
Bryce Godwin was the winning pitcher and Ricky Pennington and Tyler Worley each doubled and drove in a run to pace the Tiger Shark attack.
Wakulla handed Port St. Joe a 2-0 defeat.
The Tiger Sharks managed just two hits but Coach Chuck Gannon said eighth-grader Ethan Sander provided �a very good effort.� Sander allowed four hits and struck out six.
The following day, Port St. Joe traveled to Franklin County and won the District 2-1A contest 8-3.
Austin Clayton pitched a complete game, striking out eight.
Pennington and Worley each doubled and Tucker Smith, Godwin and Clayton each had hits.
The Seahawks came calling April 2 and beat Port St. Joe 6-3.
Chase Wilder started for Port St. Joe and pitched two shutout innings before he was relieved by Godwin due to a sore arm, Gannon said.
Port St. Joe bats were quiet, managing just four hits, and the Tiger Sharks committed five errors in the field.
Clayton had a triple in the bottom of the seventh and Godwin suffered the loss.
Port St. Joe faced Liberty County in a district game April 15.
In a nine-inning game the Tiger Sharks lost 5-4.
�We had our chances in the bottom of the sixth and seventh innings and could not come up with the big hit,� Gannon said, as Port St. Joe left 10 men on base.
Port St. Joe had just six hits with Tyler Worley singling twice.
Cole Cryderman started on the mound and went seven innings. Sander pitched the final two innings and was the losing pitcher.
�Both pitchers did a good job keeping us in the game,� Gannon said.
Gannon noted that Smith had some �jam-up� plays at short in support of Cryderman and Sander but the Tiger Sharks committed errors that led to the five Liberty County runs.
The Tiger Sharks lost 4-2 over the weekend to Tallahassee Godby.
Clayton was again sharp on the mound, throwing just 78 total pitches but Port St. Joe bats were again cold, managing just four hits from Troy Williams, Pennington, Worley and Smith.
�We left the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning when we could not come up with the big hit,� Gannon said.
Port St. Joe is at Bozeman tonight, at South Walton on Friday and will host Godby on Saturday for Senior Day, as Port St. Joe recognizes seniors Pennington, Clayton, Smith and Worley.

February 07, 2013
By LAWT News Service
Lynn Manning, a playwright, actor, and poet, joined Watts Village Theater Company on Feb. 1
On February 1, Watts Village Theater Company (WVTC) welcomed back its co-founder Lynn Manning – an award-winning playwright, actor, and poet – who now serves as the nonprofit's Interim Artistic Director.
Manning, a former WVTC Board Chair, holds the unique honor of having served as artist and board for the company, and now serving as the artistic visionary for the future of the innovative Watts-based theater company. See below for a bio on Manning.
WVTC Interim Artistic Director Lynn Manning stated, "I'll never have the charisma of Quentin Drew, nor the kinetic energy of Guillermo Aviles-Rodriguez, but inner vision and institutional memory I have in abundance."
Manning added, "Having been involved with the organization since it began, even during the period following Quentin's death in 2005, I know how far the organization has come. As we approach out 20 year anniversary, I am excited about the innovative, first-rate artistic productions and educational programming addressing the needs of our community that that we have in store for Los Angeles – including this year's Riot/Rebellion project, conceived by the incomparable Guillermo Aviles-Rodriguez. I look forward to applying my vision and institutional memory to the task of growing WVTC's aesthetic and civic value to the community it was created to serve."
As WVTC undergoes this historic transition period, it honors the years of service and dedication given by former Artistic Director Guillermo Aviles-Rodriguez.
David Mack, WVTC Managing Director stated, "Guillermo has maintained an exemplary career during his time at WVTC. Under his artistic leadership, the company has achieved unprecedented growth in its personnel, financial standing, strategic partnerships – including collaborations of new work with over 15 theatre companies from across Los Angeles – and audience development. Moreover, he conceived and stewarded monumental, original productions including Meet Me @Metro and Riot/Rebellion. Though he will be missed, he still remains a permanent part of the WVTC legacy and alumni family."

Child Abuse camp as advertised on the Democratic United Party blog and protected by corrupt police soon to be exposed
By [name redacted] and translated by Surprisesaplenty
My 'translated by' claim above is snarky, but I am starting from the man's Facebook claims and following other links. His writing is … challenging.
A sample from various locations (1,2) on Facebook (these are from large groups on Facebook so I don't think they are private utterances. The latter link is to "Every Expat inKorea" which sounds like it should be considered a public space):
"Korean Conman with no degree is touted as professor on the Korean Democratic United party blog, that also names his business that prior to that time had been in the papers (Korean Herald) for human smuggling US citizens with fake visas to work for free in his illegal unlicensed English camps the Jeju City Office of Education yet again has filed more changes against this week.
The full truth is not in the 1000s of newspaper report about this illegal business 제주국제영어마을 – that it includes pedophile activity and stupid foreigners who profit from job ads saying they get bonus money for working their kids, which should have been a know brainier that that is against the law."
A "know brainier" indeed. These 100+ words in two sentences were separated in the ellipses by a citation. Oh, alright, here it is: As seen On KBS News and 제주가 보인다 2012.2.1.
Still, [redacted] is passionate about his claims; so much so that I had to dig in and try to understand them.
Okay, I've looked into the claims and they are too hot – criminally hot – for me!
At 3 Wise Monkeys is a good description of the problem. Giving real names and identifying businesses , even if the claims made are true, is considered libel.
The Korea Herald has reported as much as it dares here. Dare I say it, the reporting is as well done as it could be without risking exposure to libel.
A second problem with discussing [redacted]'s problems are their variety. 3WM and the Herald discuss (1)immigration and contractual issues, but [redacted] also claims (2) sexual abuse of the students, corruption among the (3) police (The Herald article looks at this) and (4) a political party and (5) death threats he has received*. They might all be true but if too many claims are stacked like this, why not add one more: "(6)And he cancelled Christmas!"
I feel there is something wrong here and that [redacted] has been mistreated, possibly criminally, but I am honestly afraid to write further. Korea's libel laws are clear.
This is a serious issue and I feel for [redacted] but at the same time I must retreat into snark again and say that if his writing is a good example of his English communication skills, I would not much want to hire him either.
* Search for information from 3WM… You can find this claim if you wish.

OH.MY.GOD. Seriously, I might be at a loss for words. Not only does Uno Chicago Grill have a GF menu, but they have GF pizza on it!! Now, it isn't deep dish pizza, but I'll take any pizza at this point. Having been GF for 3+ years and not having pizza (other than what I make at home), I was VERY excited to try this. I didn't get a picture, unfortunately. I didn't think to bring my camera and I honestly don't think it was around long enough for a picture. Jon & I ordered the pepperoni pizza, salad & steamed broccoli. Heaven. Simply, heaven. The pizza was on a thin crust, the flavor & texture was amazing. I was also very impressed by the knowledge of the needs of gluten-free dining. Bill, the manager, came over to our table almost immediately after we were seated and explained the process with which the pizzas were made and the lengths they go to to avoid cross-contamination. They only make the pizzas in the AM (or prepare them), so that it can be done in an area that is "sterile". They don't recommend adding any additional toppings as they can't guarantee that anything from the line would be GF after the restaurant has opened. It was so nice and refreshing to dine out some place where they "get it". I will definitely be going back, to dine-in or carry-out. This place isn't super close to us, but is worth the drive when that pizza craving must be met! 🙂 I am off to write a letter of "THANKS" to Uno Chicago Grill for taking the time to accommodate those of us on a GF diet and putting in the effort to make sure that we can dine safely.
So, if you have a Uno Chicago Grill close by, stop on by and give this GF pizza a try. 🙂

2013 CMS Summer Meeting
Dalhousie University, June 4 - 7, 2013
The talk provides a unified and rather general approach to a setting that so far has only been studied for very special choices of affine group actions (such as the similitude group, or the shearlet group). It establishes the well-definedness of a scale of Besov-type coorbit spaces, and provides the existence of atomic decompositions for these spaces in terms of suitably chosen band-limited Schwartz functions. Under suitable assumptions on the dual action of $H$ I establish easily verified concrete conditions for frame atoms, in terms of vanishing moments, smoothness and decay. In particular, these results imply the existence of compactly supported smooth atoms.
In this talk we want to present the concept of \emph{$\alpha$-molecules}, which generalizes the recently introduced \emph{parabolic molecules}. Systems of $\alpha$-molecules feature a characteristic tiling of the frequency plane and an anisotropic scaling law, which is specified by the parameter $\alpha$. Hence the concept incorporates the main features, which are common to most directional systems, and it is general enough to comprise the classical radial wavelet systems ($\alpha=1$), ridgelets ($\alpha=0$) as well as curvelets and shearlets ($\alpha=1/2$).
As an application of the concept, we analyze the sparse approximation behavior of $\alpha$-molecules. For this the notion of \emph{sparsity equivalence} is introduced. With the help of this notion, it is possible to identify large classes of $\alpha$-molecules providing the same sparse approximation results. In view of these results, one natural consequence is that curvelets and shearlets exhibit the same approximation behavior.
This is joint work with P.~Grohs (ETH Z\"urich), S.~Keiper (TU Berlin) and G.~Kutyniok (TU Berlin).
P. G. Casazza, D. Han, and D. R. Larson, Frames for Banach spaces, in {\em The functional and harmonic analysis of wavelets and frames} (San Antonio, TX, 1999), {\em Contemp. Math}. {\bf 247} (1999), 149-182,
extract the essence of frames. I intend to show a way of generating frames by means of operators ( based on joint work with Dave Larson).

Crime Statistics
Crime and Incident Statistics, Clery Act
In compliance with Title IV regulations, the following crime statistics and safety information is being provided.
GHC Annual Security Report for 2019
GHC Annual Security Report for 2018
GHC Annual Security Report for 2017
Safety officers have the same arrest powers as a citizen of Georgia, i.e., the power to make arrests for misdemeanors and felonies committed in the presence of the officer or within the officer's immediate knowledge. All personnel are trained to handle emergencies and will coordinate medical and fire services that are requested on all five campuses.
Our mission is to provide safety, parking, and emergency preparedness services to the GHC community in a professional manner which will provide the college a safe environment that is conducive to education for all who study, work and visit GHC.
The department maintains a close working relationship with local police, fire and emergency agencies and their members. They come together through meetings, training, and investigative follow-ups. Information is freely shared between local agencies. The department maintains agreements with the Floyd County Police Department, the Rome Police Department, Dallas Police Department, Douglasville Police Department and the Bartow County Sheriff's Office. The department also cooperates and coordinates with other local, state and national campus safety agencies to remain abreast of trends, concerns and problems affecting college campuses and students.
Officers patrol the campuses via marked patrol units and on foot patrol to deter acts of crime, correct safety and security hazards and to detect and intervene when criminal activity occurs. They respond and follow-up on all reported crimes along with local police officers. In addition to patrol duties, officers investigate traffic accidents, assist in medical emergencies, provide limited motorist assistance, enforce campus parking and traffic regulations and provide safety support for many campus activities and events.
The Floyd Campus Safety office is staffed 24/7 and will dispatch officers to emergencies at any of the campuses, except Marietta where you should contact the SPSU Police Department.
The most recent Campus Crime Reporting Act statistics are published by the Department of Education.
For current statistics, please see : http://ope.ed.gov/security/index.aspx
Tobacco Free and Smoke Free Campus Policy
The President's Cabinet, with the endorsement of the Student Engagement Council and the College Environmental Health and Safety Committee announces that smoking and the use of tobacco products will be confined to an individual's automobile. Effective January 2, 2004, Georgia Highlands College and all campus locations will become tobacco-less and smoke-free environments. What this means is that the use of all tobacco products will be prohibited on Georgia Highlands College property.
In 1994, Georgia Highlands College banned all use of tobacco in its buildings in an attempt to eliminate the health hazards of second-hand smoke. Because of our continued concern for the health and safety of the faculty, staff, students, and guests on our campuses, we are modifying the current policy to include the entire campus. With the use of tobacco products on the rise, particularly among our younger populations, we feel this is an opportunity to emphasize our commitment to best health practices and a cleaner and healthier environment. This policy is enforced by Campus Safety officers through warnings and citations.
Approved by Cabinet: October 20, 2003
Endorsed by Student Engagement Council: November,2003

Abstract: This paper studies labour market policy in a society where differently gifted individuals can invest in training to further increase their labour market productivity and where the government seeks both effiency and equity. Frictions in the matching process create unemployment and differently skilled workers face different unemployment risks. We show that in such an environment, training programmes that are targeted to the unemployed complement passive transfers (UI benefits), unlike a general training subsidy. Combining passive subsidies with a training subsidy conditioned on the individual being unemployed (for a while) - the typical Active Labour Market Programme - implies a favorable trade-off between equity and efficiency which encourages high spending on training.

Abstract: We find that the main featues of labor policy across OECD countries can be explained by a simple general equilibrium search model with risk neutral agents and a government that chooses policy to maximize a social welfare function. In equilibrum, policies are chosen to optimal redistribute income from advantaged to disadvantaged workers. A worker can be disadvantaged in the sense that they may have less ability to aquire and utilize skills in the workplace. The model explains why passive benefits tend to fall and active benefits tend to increase during the course of unemployment spell. The model also explains why countries that appear to pursue equity spend more on both active and passive labor market programs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7648

Abstract: This paper examines the macroeconomic effects of youth unemployment programmes in the form of vocational training (YUPs), developing a two sector general equilibrium model featuring matching frictions and worker-fi rm wage bargaining for skilled workers. Unskilled sector wages are indexed to skilled sector wages. Workers differ with respect to ability, having importance for the young worker s skill decision. Furthermore, a young worker may be offered vocational training through YUPs. The total number of skilled workers is therefore determined by these two channels and the interaction between them. We focus on the impact of of YUPs on skill division, unemployment distribution workers and aggregate unemployment.

I love Standards Plus! As an Intervention Specialist and Literacy Coach my teachers frequently come to me for ideas that will help as we move into the new statewide CCSS implementation. Standards Plus has it all – detailed lesson guides, performance tasks, rubrics, as well as pre and post tests to check the students mastery of the standards. My teachers depend on Standards Plus as a guide to help them check that students are mastering the CCSS standards and re-teach students that has not met mastery on these skills.Literacy CoachLemonwood Elementary, Oxnard SD
The lessons included many "real-world" problems that helped the 6th graders understand advanced topics such as algebraic expressions and equations and statistics. I used many of the math assessments and it helped to prepare them greatly for the free response questions on the SBAC Math test. There are also performance assessments on there as well at the end of each domain/topic, which was great as an extension activity for the proficient/advanced students.Sixth Grade TeacherFranklin-McKinley School District

Stockholm's Bjorn Hansen (SWE) Mekonomen Sailing Team has moved a step closer to the final of his Alpari World Match Racing Tour home event in Marstrand, Sweden as he came out the 3-0 victor against Johnie Berntsson (SWE) Berntsson Sailing Team from Gothenburg in their Quart Final match. Hansen, said, "It was great to know that we'd have a Swede in the Semi Finals before my match with Johnie [Berntsson] but we would have liked it to have been a Final. I don't think we would have chosen to sail each other if we could have helped it."
In a rematch of the 2011 event Final, Hansen was handed a Semi Final contest with Ian Williams (GBR) GAC Pindar, which started in a predictably action-packed fashion, as the pair traded penalties and controlling positions throughout their first match. Bjorn Hansen ultimately managed to see out the victory before suffering disappointment in the second match, losing after a penalty decision which he felt could have easily gone his way.
After momentarily losing one of their crew into the water during the pre-start, Hansen's Mekonomen Sailing Team headed left after a split tack start. Williams took the right hand side off of the start line with Hansen tacking on Williams lee bow a number of times before Williams got ahead. An error from Hansen as he attempted to luff Williams after a cover tack by the Brit lost him a boatlength as he realised that he didn't have the boat speed to force Williams to tack away.
Williams had maintained his lead as he turned into the final downwind leg just in front of Hansen, the Swede following closely and managing to take enough of his opponents air to launch an attack, rolling over his bow but earning a penalty when the umpires decided that he hadn't been clear ahead before there was contact between Hansen's backstay and Williams' spinnaker. Hansen felt that the penalty which was awarded in the process, and ultimately cost him a commanding lead, was undeserved, saying, "We were rolling Ian [Williams] and we got ahead of him, he was pretty much right on our stern, the bow was half way in on our boat. We thought he was coming from behind when he touched us with his spinnaker which we're a bit disappointed to get a penalty for.
"Still it feels like we're sailing quicker than him, especially on the downwind and I think they're worried about our gybes as we keep managing to roll him on the gybes when it gets close.
"We feel good going into the final day but we have to keep working because it's going to be tough, there aren't going to be any easy matches for any of us from here on."
Williams, said, "It was disappointing to lose the first one. We were struggling a bit with the boat's rudder which was frustrating but we know we had to deal with it. I think considering those issues, today was a great result.
"I think that we can win it. We've come from behind before and won and we can do it again."
Like Hansen, Ian Williams carried his good form from the qualifying stages through into his Quarter Final match with Pierre-Antoine Morvan (FRA) Vannes Agglo Sailing Team, winning in three straightforward matches.
Morvan felt that despite the loss and subsequent exit from the event, his team are in a good position going into their favoured upcoming Tour events, saying, "Ian won the first one and then we won the start in the second but with the Genoas on these type of boats, it gave him a chance to come back into it and he managed to close that one out too. When we changed the Genoa to the smaller jib in the third, we won the start and it was close all the way through.
"It is still a positive experience. We've learnt a lot on these bigger boats because we've sailing against really good opposition and before the event we knew it was going to be hard.
"Now there are three events with lighter boats which we're really looking forward to. We competed at the Chicago Match Cup last year, just losing out to Swinton [Keith] in the final so that's a good opportunity for us. Then we have Marseille, where we know the boats well and St. Moritz which I'm also expecting us to do well at."
The day's all-Australian Quarter Final match-up pitted Tour legend and record four-time World Champion, Peter Gilmour (AUS) YANMAR Racing against Keith Swinton (AUS) Black Swan Racing, who enjoyed some great early form in qualifying but who was unable to overcome his fellow Perth native, who went on to race Phil Robertson (NZ) WAKA Racing Team in the day's opening Semi Final matches.
Robertson had earlier progressed from his Quarter Final in three straight matches against compatriot Reuben Corbett (NZ) AON Racing Team, the scoreline not reflective of the close competition during the knockout encounter. Robertson, said: "It definitely wasn't straightforward, we didn't win a start and it was a real battle. We had to fight hard to get ourselves back into every match and there was some really close sailing.
"It was the right thing to do for us to pick him but we'd have liked both Kiwis to go as far as possible. Having said that, there was a bit of pride at stake and we definitely wanted to be the top countryman so a bit of pressure on the boys there too."
Robertson ended the day with an important victory against Peter Gilmour, having lost the first encounter in their Semi Final to finish 1-1 in the first to three point series going into the last day of STENA Match Cup Sweden. In one of the defining moments of the tie so far, the second match saw Gilmour trailing narrowly into the finish trying a last ditch aggressive move right on the line. He said, "We got a bad start so just tried to chip away to get back into it at the end. We just threw everything we could at him and tried to make it stick. Tomorrow we're back to square one."
Robertson, said, "I think the umpire made the right call there and I would have been very disappointed if it had gone any other way. It was a big last attempt to win the race and he knew he wasn't going to cross the line first. He hit me and forced the umpires to make a decision on the line just to see what would happen and but i think he could have avoided it.
"The team are going well and we're pretty confident. Tomorrow is set up for a cracker I think, it'll be an awesome day's sailing."
STENA Match Cup Sweden Semi Finals will continue on Saturday 7th July from 0900 CET. Full schedule and additional information and updates are available at www.wmrt.com.

When we first saw the Lexus LF-CC Concept a few weeks ago, we thought that it looked like a future IS Coupe.
Seeing it in person has only made us more positive that's what it is. Good thing, too, as it actually looks exciting.
Lexus sells far more hybrids in Europe than other cars, so naturally the Lexus LF-CC concept has a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that runs on the Atkinson Cycle for increased efficiency as well as a hybrid system.
The exterior and interior both look great, with flowing lines and modern design. It is far from the boring Lexuses of old.
But, since the LFA took ages from concept to road, and the LF-LC doesn't seem further along, we're not sure when exactly the LF-CC will be driving towards us. Hopefully sooner than later.

#1 History Lesson for the Libtards: "You Can't tax the Rich"

You Cant Tax the Rich
Theyll flee the country before you can.
Ninety years ago in 1921 federal income-tax policies reached an absurdity that many people today seem to want to repeat. Those who believe in high taxes on the rich got their way. The tax rate on people in the top income bracket was 73 percent in 1921. On the other hand, the rich also got their way: They didnt actually pay those taxes.
The number of people with taxable incomes of $300,000 a year or more equivalent to far more than $1 million in todays money declined from over 1,000 people in 1916 to fewer than 300 in 1921. Were the rich all going broke?It might look that way. More than four-fifths of the total taxable income earned by people making $300,000 a year and up vanished into thin air. So did the tax revenues that the government hoped to collect with high tax rates on the top incomes.
What happened was no mystery to Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon. He pointed out that vast amounts of money that might have been invested in the economy were instead being invested in tax-exempt securities, such as municipal bonds.
Secretary Mellon estimated that the amount of money invested in tax-exempt securities had nearly tripled in a decade. The amount of this money that the tax collector couldnt touch was larger than the federal governments annual budget and nearly half as large as the national debt. Big bucks went into hiding.
Mellon highlighted the absurdity of this situation: It is incredible that a system of taxation which permits a man with an income of $1,000,000 a year to pay not one cent to the support of his Government should remain unaltered.One of Mellons first acts as secretary was to ask Congress to end tax exemptions for municipal bonds and other securities. But Congress was not about to set off a political firestorm by doing that.
Mellons Plan B was to cut the top income-tax rate, in order to lure money out of tax-exempt securities and back into the economy, where increased economic activity would generate more tax revenue for the government. Congress also resisted this, using arguments that are virtually unchanged to this day that these would just be tax cuts for the rich.
What makes all this history so relevant today is that the same economic assumptions and political arguments that produced the absurdities of 1921 are still going strong in 2011."Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings..."

George Santayana
(16 December 1863 in Madrid, Spain 26 September 1952 in Rome, Italy), was a philosopher, essayist poet and novelist.
Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness..... When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual.... Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
The highest form of vanity is love of fame.
The human race, in its intellectual life, is organized like the bees: the masculine soul is a worker, sexually atrophied, and essentially dedicated to impersonal and universal arts; the feminine is a queen, infinitely fertile, omnipresent in its brooding industry, but passive and abounding in intuitions without method and passions without justice.
Experience has repeatedly confirmed that well-known maxim of Bacon's that "a little philosophy inclineth a man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion." At the same time, when Bacon penned that sage epigram... he forgot to add that the God to whom depth in philosophy brings back men's minds is far from being the same from whom a little philosophy estranges them.
Matters of religion should never be matters of controversy. We neither argue with a lover about his taste, nor condemn him, if we are just, for knowing so human a passion.
Fashion is something barbarous, for it produces innovation without reason and imitation without benefit.
Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment.
History is nothing but assisted and recorded memory.
It might almost be said to be no science at all, if memory and faith in memory were not what science necessarily rest on. In order to sift evidence we must rely on some witness, and we must trust experience before we proceed to expand it...... The line between what is known scientifically and what has to be assumed in order to support knowledge is impossible to draw............ Memory itself is an internal rumour; and when to this hearsay within the mind we add the falsified echoes that reach us from others, we have but a shifting and unseizable basis to build upon........... The picture we frame of the past changes continually and grows every day less similar to the original experience which it purports to describe.

Yahoo is inking a deal to lease a fancy San Francisco office and keeping tabs on the competition.
The reported deal will be a huge PR event with chief executive Marissa Mayer leading the press conference much like the tech company did in its new Times Square location, according to AllThingsD.
The report said that Mayer likes "old media" locales and may open in the San Francisco Chronicle building at 5th and Mission streets, taking Square's old offices. Yahoo, based in Sunnyvale, Calif., does already have a San Francisco office that holds several hundred employees, but by all accounts it's a snorefest in the financial district, not anywhere near the tech sector in SOMA.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Mayer is supposedly also eager to open an office in San Francisco to attract young tech workers and entrepreneurs -- as well as more gastronomic delights than found in Sunnyvale. There's also some belief Yahoo may try to bring back its old neon billboard flanking the eastbound lanes of the Bay Bridge, which it gave up in 2011 after a decade of icon status.

Promo and Giveaway: Portal by Imogen Rose
On behalf of Bewitching Book Tours, I'm excited to share this new sci fi release with you today!
Come Find Me Two Years Ago...
Six words that propelled ice hockey playing tomboy, Arizona, into an alternate dimension.
She suddenly found herself in the past. In one moment she went from being an ice hockey playing teenager in New Jersey to a glamorous cheerleader in California. She found herself transported from a happy life with her dad, Dillard, to a new, strange one living with her mother whom she hates. Apparently it's a life she's always lived in.
Everyone knows her as Arizona Darley, but she isn't. She is Arizona Stevens.
As she struggles to find answers she is certain of one thing- that her mother Olivia, a brilliant physicist, is somehow responsible...
PORTAL is the story of the repercussions of Olivia Darley's attempt at creating a perfect world for herself and her children. Arizona's quest for answers threatens to undermine the seemingly perfect world that her mother has so carefully constructed.
PORTAL is the first book of the Portal Chronicles. Fans of time travel, romance, and the supernatural will enjoy Arizona's quest for answers.
About the Author:
Imogen Rose is the author of the bestselling YA series, the Portal Chronicles. She was born in a small town in Sweden and moved to London in her twenties. After obtaining a PhD in immunology from Imperial College, she moved with her family to New Jersey, where she's been based for the past ten years.
For as long as she can remember, Imogen has dreamt stories. Stories that continued from night to night, from dream to dream. So, even as a child, going to bed was never an issue, just an anticipation of the story to come.
PORTAL, Imogen's first novel, would have remained in her imagination, to be shared only with her daughter, Lauren, had her eight-year-old not insisted that she write it down. In the course of a month, Imogen typed while Lauren waited eagerly by the printer for the pages to appear, and a novel took shape.
The warm reception PORTAL received encouraged her to continue with the story and the Portal Chronicles. The Bonfire Chronicles is Imogen's new YA paranormal series.
Imogen is a self-confessed Hermès addict who enjoys shopping, traveling, watching movies and playing with her dog, Tallulah.
For the Portal Tour Imogen is giving away:
1. Kindle Fire
2. 5 signed paperback copies of PORTAL
Open to US Shipping

The cover draws me into a book usually, but it was her previous book that drew me into this one. You will not be sorry if you read it! Unless not being able to put a book down and reading the next book in the series immediately after is an issue for you! :)!

I had a chimney installer put one of these types of units on my house. I inspected his work and I saw he did not fasten the unit down with any concrete screws, he only used roofing cement. Should I get a couple of concrete screws and add them to each side for additional mounting? If so, what is the recommended number of screws for each side?

A History of Western Music
W. W. Norton, 2010 - Music - 986 pages
Building on his monumental revision of the Seventh Edition, PeterBurkholder has refined an inspired narrative for a new generation ofstudents, placing people at the center of the story.The narrative of A History of Western Music naturally focuses on the musical works, styles, genres, and ideas that have proven most influential, enduring, and significant—but it also encompasses a wide range of music, from religious to secular, from serious to humorous, from art music to popular music, and from Europe to the Americas. With a six-part structure emphasizing the music's reception and continued influence, Burkholder's narrative establishes a social and historical context for each repertoire to reveal its legacy and its significance today.

This book serves as a wonderful introduction to the history of European and American art music. The book is structured in an interesting way. Instead of being a simple chronology of music history ... Read full review
Who are we to review the Bible of western classical music history? I'll try.
What I do like: each edition gets slighly better at being more inclusive and more attuned to context.What I don't like: Middles of chapters get bogged down in theory and analysis - this is really only going to be comprehensible to undergrads if they already have a theory class or two under their belt. Women, minorities, and popular musics don't make sense in the narrative (not that they shouldn't be there, of course) - they are poorly glued onto the edges rather than integrated into the narrative. The CD set doesn't always have the most representative pieces of the concepts being described - and many of the pieces discussed in depth in the book don't show up on the CD. Some canonical composers and pieces are mentioned and said to be great, but there's no explanation as to why - we just have to trust the authors. Most chapters begin with historical/contextual information, but many chapters fail to integrate this information into musical discussions.
By this point in musicology history, we really should have better social history/ "new musicology" textbooks.
Lastly - I don't recommend this for a gen ed music history. You'll end up being frustrated because of the constant problem of what to do with the theory/analysis sections. And you'll waste time searching your school's music library (if you have one) or YouTube for better and more complete musical examples.

While there is no shortage of amazing, affordable beauty gifts to give this season, sometimes it's more fun to think about those wild and crazy wish-list items. As a kid, wasn't the actual daydreaming about what could happen so much more fun than the actual reality of receiving?
We know these extravagant, majorly expensive beauty products won't be showing up under our Christmas tree anytime soon (unless Warren Buffett is feeling very, very generous this year), but that doesn't mean we can't let our minds wander and fantasize about all the pretty products we wish would find their ways into our stockings. Who knows, maybe Santa thinks you've been really good this year. They don't call it a Christmas miracle for nothing. Click through to check out this year's crop of big ticket beauty items and get ready to start coveting.

Fusion Power By 2020? Researchers Say Yes and Turn To Crowdfunding.
Written by admin No Comments
Last Updated: May 20, 2014
Luminary Crush (109477) writes "To date, the bulk of fusion research has been channelled towards a plasma containment and stabilization method. This is the approach used by ITER's tokamak reactor, the cost of which could exceed US$13.7 billion before it's online in the year 2027 (barring further delays). Researchers at LPP Fusion, in a project partially financed by NASA-JPL, are working in a different direction: focus fusion, which focuses the plasma in a very small area to produce fusion and an ion beam which could then be harnessed to produce electricity. It is small enough to fit in a shipping container, can double as a rocket engine, and would cost US$50 million to produce the working 5 MW prototype. To reach the next hurdle and demonstrate feasibility, LPP Fusion has started an Indiegogo campaign to raise $200K."
