This year, 2012, commemorates 100 years since Scott's ill-fated journey to the South Pole. During the journey south and at the base camp at Cape Evans, scientific observations were of paramount importance to Scott and his team.
The BGS archive holds some unique records from this expedition concerning measurements of the strength and direction of the Earth's magnetic field and of atmospheric electricity.
Theories of terrestrial magnetism inspired many Antarctic expeditions during the 19th and 20th centuries. At this time the magnetic field was poorly mapped in the southern hemisphere and this hampered efforts to understand how it was generated.
At the Newcastle meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science in August 1838, it was resolved that the coverage of magnetic measurement in the southern hemisphere had to be improved; this meeting instigated the so-called Magnetic Crusade.
The two Antarctic expeditions led by Robert Falcon Scott both made extensive magnetic field observations. The first was the National Antarctic Expedition 1901–04 in the ship Discovery and the second was the British Antarctic Expedition 1910–13 in the Terra Nova. Both expeditions approached Antarctica from New Zealand and had their base camps at about 166° east of Greenwich and at 78° south.
During both expeditions extensive journeys were made into the interior of Antarctica to collect scientific data. During these journeys magnetic field observations were made and are now part of the digital data holdings of the BGS. The observations from the first expedition helped determine the location of the south magnetic pole.
The most famous journey is that to the South Pole made by Scott and four companions (Oates, Bowers, Wilson and Evans) in the austral summer of 1911–12.
They arrived at the Pole on 17 January 1912 to discover that a Norwegian team led by Amundsen had beaten them by about a month.
Scott's team all perished on the return journey, with the last three, including Scott, thought to have died between 29–31 March within 11 miles of a depot containing fresh supplies.
Their three bodies were found on 12 November 1912 and their letters, diaries and scientific data were recovered before the tent was collapsed and a commemorative snow cairn built over.
The story of Scott's expedition stemming from these diaries has fascinated people ever since.
During the long and arduous journey to the Pole observations of compass variation, i.e. declination, were made. The exact locations and dates of these observations are shown in the map.
True bearings were determined by astronomical means and magnetic bearings were taken by a compass needle attached to the theodolite.
Back at the Cape Evans base camp continuous observations of the magnetic field were made from February 1911 to November 1912. The observations comprise continuous 3-component recordings of magnetic variations on photographic paper and approximately weekly absolute measurements of declination, horizontal intensity and magnetic dip.
There were several term hours during this time. Term hours are when magnetic observatories around the world have agreed to make intensive measurements of the magnetic field in order to capture more accurately the short period variations. During the operation of Cape Evans observatory there were about 36 such term hours.
Subsequently about 24 observatories were able to provide copies of their rapid-run magnetograph records. When these term hours coincided with magnetic activity more could be learned about the nature of magnetic storms and the aurora than from the normal-run magnetograph records.
Detailed analyses were also done to better understand daily variations. For details see Chree, C. 1921. British (Terra Nova) Antarctic Expedition 1910–13 Terrestrial Magnetism 54 MB pdf.
Original magnetograph traces and notebooks from both of Scott's expeditions are held by the British Geological Survey.
Geomagnetic observatory operations by the Royal Greenwich Observatory and the Meteorological Office were transferred to the Institute of Geological Sciences in the 1960s; the IGS became the BGS in 1984.

Anonymizer has gone live with a service that aims to circumvent Chinese censorship restrictions.
The online identity protection firm has released software (initially available at xifuchun.com, an English language site) designed specifically for Chinese citizens, that offers a way around the web filters put in place by Beijing.
In addition, the software promises to shield the personal identities and related information of users that the Chinese government is currently able to monitor. The website that currently hosts the software download is www.xifuchun.com. This URL will be changed on a regular basis to avoid blocking by the Chinese government. Anonymizer is relying on early adopters to share the regularly changing URLs with their friends and family members.
Users must first submit a valid email address to receive regular updates containing new configuration directions and the latest location of the download site. The service is only available to people whose IP address is located in China.
Anonymizer's technology acts as a proxy for web surfing, frustrating IP address logging and some hacking attempts, while keeping a user's browser history and cookie folder free of potentially incriminating evidence. Chinese citizens are being offered software downloads at no charge along the same lines as a similar package that was offered to people in Iran.
"Anonymizer is excited to provide this free service to the people of China," Anonymizer president and chief scientist Lance Cottrell said. "Our goal is to make the internet an even playing field for everyone, including those under the rule of repressive regimes. We've had great success in other areas of the world, including our current work in Iran, and we're looking forward to bringing safe internet access to others." ®

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and use your NCAA tourney bracket for kindling. In retrospect, perhaps picking Belmont to win it all was a rash decision. LET'S GO!
DANCING WITH THE STARS – 8:00PM (ABC) ABC's powerhouse dancing competition is back for another season of hoofing. No Kate Gosselin or Bristol Palin this time, though. Your most notable contestant is probably Kirstie Alley, who may not last very long. There are also a handful of athletes in the mix (Hines Ward, Chris Jericho, Sugar Ray Leonard), but overall this is a fairly tame and noncontroversial group. So it'll be interesting to see if DWTS can again best "American Idol" in the overall ratings now that "Idol" has enjoyed a mild resurgence despite the absence of Simon Cowell. Who will win the hearts of elderly Americans who are too cheap to spring for cable? Find out! ANTICIPATION: HIGH!
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER – 8:00PM (CBS) John Lithgow guest stars tonight as Barney's father. And let's hope that Lithgow's character doesn't turn out to be a deranged serial killer who's actually an alien from a nearby planet who outlawed dancing in his hometown. Because that's kind of what I'm used to with Lithgow. ANTICIPATION: LITHGOW!
CASTLE – 10:00PM (ABC) I'm not sure any show in history has become a hit as quietly as "Castle" has. It's not some random schedule-filler of a show. It has quite the devoted following, and now star Nathan Fillion is on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly" and everything's going cuckoo. They even got Corbin Bersen and Jane Seymour to guest star this evening. Hopefully, Seymour won't be passing out any of those ugly Kay Jeweler's necklaces. ANTICIPATION: SEYMOUR CASTLE!
TRIANGLE: REMEMBERING THE FIRE – 9:00PM (HBO) PBS aired a documentary back in February about the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire, which killed 146 people in 1911. But if that doc wasn't enough to satisfy you Shirtwaist fanboys out there, HBO is airing a second documentary about the century-old tragedy. Let's hope FOX doesn't make it a trio of specials. ANTICIPATION: TRAGEDY!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) After visiting three straight third world nations gutted by war, Tony goes back to lighter fare this evening, roaming the streets of Vienna and eating what is sure to be lethal amounts of sausage. ANTICIPATION: WEISSWURST!
Monday Watch List: They Make You Feel Like Dancin'!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and use your NCAA tourney bracket for kindling. In retrospect, perhaps picking Belmont to win it all was a rash decision. LET'S GO!

We Americans tend to think that the world revolves around us. I used to think this was arrogant, until I noticed, during my travels, that it was true. The evening news in Southeast Asia and Africa usually led with stories about the United States, and somehow Latin Americans knew much more about American foreign policy than I did. Now I understand that the powerless usually know much more about the powerful than vise versa. Vulnerable people need to understand those who control and influence their lives, while those in control are largely unaffected by those around them. Therefore, although those in power love to call them "complainers" and "crackpots," the regular victims of power are usually astute observers of the covert mechanisms of governance. -more-
Finally, voters in Berkeley have an opportunity to secure funding for our local fire and emergency services.

Bus Rapid Transit supporters have said a lot of misleading things. From their claims that BRT will reduce greenhouse gases, to their claims that it won't have any negative effects on the people who live and work in Berkeley, there appears to be no basis in fact for many of their statements. Now they are opposing Measure KK, the voter initiative that would declare the rights of the citizens of Berkeley to make their own choices about public transit. Let's look at some of the people who are opposing Measure KK. -more-
AC Transit has a plan to take over the two center lanes of Telegraph Avenue and most of the parking for big ugly buses exceeding the speed limit. It's called Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).

A few weeks ago, I filed papers to become a candidate for City Council District 4. It was and is my belief that my candidacy would provide a fresh perspective on the challenges our city faces, informed by solid progressive values and a history of public service. I withdrew my candidacy, resigned to the reality that, even in Berkeley, success as an outsider candidate would require substantial sums of money and very significant amounts of time upfront. It is clear that I would have to miss many precious moments with my new baby daughter to run a campaign for City Council. -more-
I am a retired octogenarian with graduate level college education, albeit dated, who has endured national crises of many kinds but never in all my years witnessed a financial crisis like the one we're in now. Every bell of foreboding available to the dominate media sounds the high note of meltdown and catastrophe. People in the know speak and write stuff about bundling and swapping that I can't understand and point accusing fingers in every direction of the causal compass. The Treasury secretary mournfully submits a three-page solution keyed to legalizing extortion. Professionals of every stripe analyze and analogize. Congress in characteristically spineless fashion approved a humongous cash bailout (or handout) that may or may not help. -more-
With friends like Blue Star PR, Israel doesn't need enemies. The Berkeley Daily Planet made the grievous error of publishing a sympathetic story about local reaction to an incident in which graffiti were applied to a Blue Star poster advertising Israeli-Arab coexistence at a campus bus stop. Some of our readers wrote to us complaining that the story was too soft on Israel. -more-
Every day now a new blow seems to send the world's financial system staggering as it desperately seeks a chance to right itself. Congress passed the $700 billion bailout and things have gotten worse, not better. Now several states, notably California, can't even raise the money they need to meet payroll because the bond markets are nearly shut down. -more-
Most Americans have one eye on the nation's financial crises and the other on the presidential election. And they are asking themselves, "Is McCain or Obama, the Democrats or the Republicans, better for the economic health of the country as well as for my own financial well-being?" That is the defining question of this election. -more-
The tale of what the Bush administration is up to in the Caucasus is slowly filtering out, although the U.S. media has largely deep-sixed the story. The recent Georgia-Russia war was just one move in a complex chess game aimed at cornering the energy reserves of Central Asia, extending the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to Moscow's vulnerable southern border, and ending Russia's control of the Black Sea. Georgia was just a pawn-an expendable one at that—in a high stakes game. -more-
An African-American politician once told me that when he was newly elected to the South Carolina State Legislature in the early 1970s—making him somewhat of an oddity in a statehouse that spawned John C. Calhoun and Pitchfork Ben Tillman—a group of moderate white legislators offered to show him around the state capitol, and even to help him pick up a girlfriend. He declined the help with the girlfriend, saying he'd been doing that pretty well on his own since he'd been a sophomore in high school. -more-
Berkeley schools are at a crossroads. BUSD has made strides in improving achievement at our elementary schools, but too many Berkeley middle school students arrive at high school two or more grade levels behind. They are unprepared for a rigorous high school curriculum. -more-
I am running for re-election to the Berkeley School Board because I have the energy, enthusiasm, experience, and knowledge to continue the impressive improvements that the Berkeley Unified School District has achieved since I was first elected to the Board in 2000. I have strong educational, fiscal, and operational experience, and I bring the additional perspective as an environmentalist and community liaison to the School Board. -more-
The first question that people usually ask me is after being Mayor (1994-2002) why would you want to do that again? Since leaving the Mayor's Office I have talked with people across political lines all over this City. I find that Berkeley is a divided community; that people believe no one in City Hall is listening. That's why I am running for Mayor. -more-
My name is Toya Groves and I represent the population of Berkeley often criticized for their lack of political involvement. I represent whole heartedly the youth who come from these communities and their victimization by policies like No Child Left Behind. I represent the youth who has been suspended or expelled from this district as early as middle school, and who are forgotten about or shifted out of the district without proper representation, to maintain statistical mandates. Suspension and expulsion and large time spans of no education does not just mean the lack of higher education , or the lack of a job, it could very well mean destructive behavior and violent deaths. As adults we must take responsibility for all our children and deal with the threat of violence in our schools and community in a holistic way. This is a mental health issue similar to teenage suicide. Our suspension and expulsion policies must be re-evaluated because those kids we kick out of school do not just disappear they end up dead or incarcerated! -more-
My great love for politics, which is based in love, has more to do with being in touch with people. Rather than go on and on here (I will see you as I make my rounds), I have instead taken this opportunity to present to you some information about myself. -more-
It was almost six years ago that we embarked on a journey to set aside the old political divisions and work together to take on the tough challenges that face Berkeley in the 21st century. -more-
It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Southwest Berkeley community for the last four years on the Berkeley City Council. I have been accessible and active in District 2, working to improve residents' quality of life. -more-
No, this is not turning into the Magpie Column. But I just got wind of disturbing news about these birds that needs to reach a wider audience. The July issue of The Auk, published by the American Ornithologists' Union, has an article entitled "Early Impact of West Nile Virus on the Yellow-billed Magpie (Pica nuttalli.)" -more-
A friend of mine has a bass guitarist living upstairs who has been working out the chords to "In a Gadda Da Vida" for the past 12 years. My friend is a patient person but she's begun to exhibit something of a tic and often looks dolefully into space for long periods of time, returning from her reverie only when the music has stopped for some short spell. -more-
Cooper-Moore, free jazz pianist, multi-instrumentalist and composer extraordinaire, makes his first Bay Area appearance in 37 years at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Mama Calizo's Voice Factory, 1519 St., San Francisco (moved from the Noodle Factory in Oakland) on his solo tour, "Old & New Paths," featuring his handmade instruments. A cohort of William Parker, who has played at the behest of Sonny Rollins, Cooper-Moore will play "a stew of Gospel, Bop, Free Jazz, Blues and Roots Music"—and tell stories. (There's a grand piano on site, too.) David Gitin, KPFA music programmer of the 1960s and '70s, commented, "His appearances are so rare, they're excited when he plays in New York," where he lives. $12/$15. For tickets, contact Brown Paper Tickets at brownpapertickets.com or (800) 838-3006. For information on the show, call 547-8932 or see aumfidelity.com/cooper-moore. -more-
High on Panoramic Hill, overlooking Berkeley and the bay, stands a pre-World War II house that became both a public architectural spectacle and a secret aerie. Next week, a scholar offers an illustrated lecture exploring some of the hidden dimensions and character of this striking structure. -more-

Mindy McCready always hoped to be known for making country music, but unfortunately, her personal drama has overshadowed her career. She has been abused, has abused substances, been in and out of jail, lost custody of her son, and most recently, there's been the news of a sex tape.
"It's something that I'm very ashamed of," Mindy told Access Hollywood of the tape, which she is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Vivid Entertainment over. "I am not OK with it, I will never be OK with it."
Mindy added that she is hoping the news over the sex tape dies down soon.
"I've done a lot of ridiculously dumb things that have come back to haunt me," she said. "I hope to goodness that there is nothing else because I am ready for life to be slightly boring for a minute."
An open and honest Mindy told Access that she is disgusted by the claims she leaked a sex tape to help sell her new album.
"This is not a publicity stunt," Mindy said. "I'm trying to get my child back right now… [This is] the last thing that I would ever want to do, whether I was trying to get my child back or not. That's just not me."
Mindy has battled her demons openly, including on "Celebrity Rehab."
"Dr. Drew in giving me a diagnosis, diagnosed me as a person who has co-dependency. The new age term is a 'love addict,'" she said. "It leads you into the wrong relationships and you go from one horrible relationship to another. Then I started drinking too much."
Now, Mindy is fighting her way back and has released her comeback album, "I'm Still Here" — her first album in eight years. The album includes the title track, which was inspired by when her son Xander, then a 1-year-old, came to visit her in jail where she was serving time for violating probation for a 2004 drug arrest.
"When they brought him up, he didn't recognize me," Mindy said. "He didn't remember me.
"If jail didn't hit home enough, that really did," she added.
Right now, Mindy does not have custody of Xander, now 4. She is fighting to get him back from her mother.
"I said, 'Are you going to be excited to come back to Nashville with mommy?' and he said, 'I'm scared.' And I said, 'What are you scared of?' He said, 'I'm scared I'm going to get my heart broke again,'" Mindy recounted.

The Best Steven Spielberg Movies
List Rules Only feature films directed by Steven Spielberg. No TV episodes.
This list ranks the top films ever made by Steven Spielberg, arguably the most famous and celebrated of all American filmmakers. Spielberg won his first Oscar for directing in 1993 for his Holocaust drama Schindler's List, and took the prize again five years later for the WWII film Saving Private Ryan (best remembered for its immersive opening D-Day sequence). But he had already been heralded in the '70s and '80s as one of Hollywood's most important and successful directors.
Spielberg first came to international recognition in 1975 with the release of his big-budget shark thriller Jaws, a troubled production that nonetheless became a smash hit and eventually inspired the trend of blockbuster "summer movies" which continues to this day. In the ensuing years, he continued having popular success with a duo of alien-themed dramas: Close Encounters of the Third Kind and the family favorite E.T. He also branched out into comedy (the critically-trashed 1941) and period drama (Empire of the Sun and The Color Purple).
He also collaborated in the 1980s with producer George Lucas on the massively popular Indiana Jones adventure film series, an homage to the movie serials of the 1930s. Spielberg returned to sci-fi again in 1993 with Jurassic Park, released in the same year as the critically-acclaimed Schindler's List. He has since added Minority Report and War of the Worlds to the genre, both starring Tom Cruise. In 2011, Spielberg again released two popular films in the same year - the film adaptation of the hit stage production War Horse and the motion-capture animated The Adventures of Tintin, a collaboration with Peter Jackson.

Hey kids! Get down here. We made Mrs. Zuckerberg's famous eggnog cinnamon chip scones! That's an example of something you could say in your own home but never will. Because you're never going to buy The Startup Chef, a collection of beloved recipes from tech entrepreneurs and their families. Just in time for the holidays, y'all.
Find out just how the mother of Foursquare's Dennis Crowley came up with her world-renowned sausage soup in the 247-page book, which includes 75 recipes and the harrowing stories behind them. You can get it in e-book form or as a PDF for a minimum donation of $10. The good part is that 97 percent of the proceeds go to two anti-hunger charities: No Kid Hungry and Rockaway Plate Lunch, which helps Hurricane Sandy victims. You could also just donate directly to these charities.
If you do happen to buy the book out of some weird masochistic determinist worldview, you could make chocolate chip cookies just like investor Fred Wilson and his better half Joann. Or prepare double marinated fillet of beef the way Spotify founder Daniel Ek does it. At least all the recipes share the same flavor profile: entitled, with a hint of obnoxious. [New York Times]

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The goal that may have saved the Columbus Crew's season – the final two games will determine that for sure – was a combination of desperation, skill and luck.
And Eddie Gaven and his teammates aren't complaining one bit.
Gaven's header in the first minute of stoppage time gave the Crew a 1-1 tie against visiting Sporting Kansas City on Sunday and moved them to within one point of Houston for the last postseason spot in the Eastern Conference.
OPTA Chalkboard: Crew show they can cope with KC physicality
"You're not satisfied with one point," defender Julius James said. "We wanted the three points but we'll take it. It's still forward progress."
The Crew (14-11-7, 49 points) continue to work the late shift. Their past five winners have all come in the 86th minute or beyond and now they can add an important point, one that seemed destined not to come their way.
Sporting goalkeeper Jimmy Nielsen was within minutes of adding to his league-leading total of 14 shutouts. He had four four quality saves and may have had some help when Gaven was tackled without a call on the left side of the penalty area by Chance Myers as the extra time began.
Gaven got up – there's a metaphor in there somewhere – and worked his way across the field. He saw Emilio Rentería on the right flank and looked for an opening.
"At that point in the game, sometimes you have to take a chance," Gaven said. "The team needed a goal. You make a run and hope. I didn't have to do much because Emilio played a great ball, it had so much pace. I just tried to put it on frame.
"[Nielsen] almost saved it. I think he got a pretty good hand on it."
But the ball carried just inside the near post and a costly defeat was averted.
"We didn't give them too many opportunities throughout the game until the end when they had that one really good chance," SKC coach Peter Vermes said.
And for a desperate Columbus team, that's all it took.

Hell on earth will continue for a second season.
AMC announced Monday it has ordered up 13 more episodes of zombie drama "The Walking Dead," following killer ratings for the show's first two offerings.
The "Mad Men" network scored a record 5.3 million viewers for "Dead's" Halloween premiere, with 4.7 million of the living tuning in Sunday for the show's second episode, according to reports.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"I wish all programming decisions were no brainers like this one," AMC senior VP Sharon Tal Yguado told E! News.
"The Walking Dead" stars Andrew Lincoln as small-town cop Rick Grimes, who awakes from a coma in a hospital room to discover a post-apocalyptic environment where loved ones and neighbors roam the earth in search of living flesh to consume.
Adapted from the Robert Kirkman comic series that boasts the tagline "in a world ruled by the dead, we forced to finally start living," early episodes of AMC's version have focused on Grimes' quest to reunite with his wife and son.
Kirkman told MSNBC last month that the strength of his long running series was exploring how his characters either "crack under pressure or rise to the occasion."
"And the interaction of humans becomes almost as dangerous as interaction with zombies," he added.

Tyrese really wants ya'll to care what he thinks about women…especially his woman.
The singer/actor set social media off when he took to Instagram to offer his unsolicited opinions about women who opt for weaves and cosmetic surgery. The Fast & Furious star believes that "fake clip ins" and "hard t***ies" constitutes as "manufactured beauty", which caused woke Twitter to clap back immediately.
Never one to back down from a heated debate, Tyrese hopped back on Instagram to double down on his comments and show off his beautiful new wife as proof of why he feels the way he does.
"Guys go ahead and be yourself," he captioned. "We will be in the bed cuddles, loves and hugs and I'm sure you're going to see to it that we're entertained. Let's start by arguing that she's a white girl. Yeah, that's a good start."

Death of Tendar
From: http://www.phayul.com/news/article.aspx?article=Rare+footages+show+China%E2%80%99s+brutality+on+Tibetan+protestors&id=24241
Video is of a young Tibetan named Tendar, who succumbed to his injuries after he was brutally beaten and tortured by Chinese police officials.
Tendar, a staff in the China Mobile company, met his evil fate on March 14, 2008, after he tried to stop Chinese authorities from beating a lone monk while on his way to his office.
Tendar later suffered inhumane treatments at the hands of Chinese authorities, DIIR statement said.
According to the press statement, Tendar was fired at, burned with cigarettes butts, pierced with a nail in his right foot, and severely beaten with an electric baton.
The footage showing the wounds and the bruise marks visible on his body is a testimony of the brutality he was subjected to by the Chinese authorities, the statement said.
Tendar was denied basic medical care at Chinese military hospital and was later shifted to the TAR Peoples Hospital. Doctors at the hospital removed about 2.5 kgs of his body part in order to clean out the rotten wounds caused by prolonged delay in medical treatment.
Due to covering his wounds with polythene, his wounds began to rot as clearly seen from the footage, the press statement said.
According to the statement, despite efforts made by his family in meeting huge medical expenses, doctors at the peoples hospital failed to bring improvement to Tendars ailing body.
He died due to his injuries on June 19, 2008.
When his corpse was offered to the vultures according to the tradition (Sky Burial), the statement said a nail was found in his right foot.
If this video scares you, then pass the word; Free Tibet !

Data-swiping phishing sites are causing a greater security headache than expected while botnet numbers have taken an unexpected dip over recent months, according to revised security predictions by net security firm McAfee.
McAfee Avert Labs recorded a 784 per cent increase in phishing websites in the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year, with no slowdown in sight.
"As we approach the midyear mark, we wanted to check on our crystal ball gazing skills," said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee Avert Labs and product development. "As we predicted, professional and organised criminals continue to drive a lot of the malicious activity on the net. However, we were surprised that mobile malware and image spam tapered off."
Image spam is so named because it includes an image instead of just text. These junk mail messages typically advertise goods and services such as stocks, pharmaceuticals, and degrees. Image spam accounted for 40 per cent of spam in November 2006 and up to 65 per cent of all spam at the beginning of 2007, but this figure has dropped off recently. Overall spam levels have remained static.
McAfee reckons its other security predictions made at the start of the year are panning out. In particular, it warned that video on the web would become a target for hackers and the prevalence of rootkits on 32-bit machines would increase. About 200,000 computers have been infected with rootkits (malign programs that hide their presence on infected systems) since the beginning of 2007, according to Avert Labs' virus tracking mechanism, a 10 per cent increase over the first quarter of 2006.
One prediction that hasn't panned out is McAfee's expectation that more legitimate companies would try advertising software (ie adware) to target consumers. Because adware has a bad reputation, firms have shied away from the approach and tried different tactics instead. BitTorrent, for example, is establishing a trend by offering free ad-supported video downloads as an alternative to paid downloads. ®

CoCo can work it too.
With about a month to go until Conan O'Brien returns to late night on TBS, the comedian has released a sexually suggestive promo in the tradition of fast food commercials by Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Audrina Partridge, E! Online reports.
U.S. & World
The 30-second spot is set to the tune of "Pour Some Sugar on Me" by '80s rockers Def Leppard and features plenty of slow motion close-ups of O'Brien rubbing a soapy sponge all over his desk and naturally, himself.
As the frenzy intensifies, O'Brien bites off a mouthful of the sponge and introduces a garden hose into the mix. Check out for yourself if the red-headed comic's hotness quotient approaches Hilton-Kardashian-Partridge levels.

Jewish Middle East expert Alan Brownfield tells us. "Rabbi Schneerson always supported Israeli wars and opposed any retreat. In 1974 he strongly opposed the Israeli withdrawal from the Suez area. He promised Israel divine favors if it persisted in occupying the land. Among the religious settlers in the occupied territories, the Chabad Hassids constitute one of the most extreme groups. Baruch Goldstein, the mass murderer of Palestinians, was one of them."
Another one of them is Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburg who heads up a major Chabad institution in the West Bank. Ginsburg praised Goldstein and considers all non-Jews to be subhuman. According to author Motti Inbari, Ginsburg "gives prominence to Halachic and Kabbalistic approaches that emphasize the distinction between Jew and non-Jew (Gentile), imposing a clear separation and hierarchy in this respect. He claims that while the Jews are the Chosen People and were created in God's image, the Gentiles do not have this status and are effectively considered subhuman."
And the Co-President of the United States (who recently visited Schneerson's grave) is one of them.

How Did You Know He Was "The One?"
Dec 17, 2012
Last week we asked our Facebook fans to answer the question, "How Did You Know He Was 'The One'?" This question was floating around our office earlier in the week because we are coming close to two office weddings this year (one in January and one in September) and I just made the jump to living with my boyfriend – and I was curious to hear from other real life couples who have also experienced that magical moment when you just knew – he was "The One"!
The story of my beau and I date back … 20 or so years ago, I had met him working at my first job – we both worked at a local McDonald's. It was the summer of 1993 – I was entering my senior year in high school and he was going into college. I thought he was adorable and funny – but I knew that jocks didn't date artists. Instead, I wound up dating one of his friends, and well, that took him off the list of guys I could date. Over the years, I heard updates about him through mutual friends, but we never re-connected – until February of 2012 when he messaged me on Facebook to catch up and within a few hours of talking we had plans to meet the very next day! We went to a local Cuban restaurant and spent the night talking – not just a few hours, but all night – we even closed down the restaurant! A few days later, I was leaving to go on an vacation with my son and my plane was delayed. It was Valentine's day. He left work early and drove to the airport to take us to dinner. After dinner, he bought a single red rose and handed it to my son and told him to give it to me for Valentine's day. I knew at that moment he was the one and I wasn't going to let him get away from me for a second time … it was probably the sweetest and most romantic thing a guy had done for me my entire life!
I'd like to thank all our Facebook fans for sharing such amazing love stories with us!
While we'd love to choose all of you as the winner, the winner of this contest is:
Congrats to:
Michelle Santo, Cleveland Ohio
I have known my husband my whole life!! We grew up in the same neighborhood and my brother played little league with him!! He had a brother as well who always said the two of us would end up together. I was very close with his brother who unfortunately is no longer with us today but I know is very happy watching over us and our little one!!! Kevin and I have always been friends but one night he asked me to a wedding and I didn't think he was serious (we were at a bar) so the next day he called and asked me again and I said yes. We had a great time (he was the best man) I knew alot of the people who were there so it was a lot fun!!! At the end of the night we ended up sharing the most amazing unexpected kiss and from that moment on I knew one of my friends was going to become my husband and my best friend.
