Drake, Game Donate Over $22,000 to Ohio Woman Who Lost Family in Fire
Rappers are often associated with negative things in the media, however, there are a few who do charitable efforts that don't get reported. Fellow rhymers Drake and Game recently donated money to help an Ohio woman who lost her entire family in a fire.
On Sept. 15, Anna Angel, a fast food worker, became a widow after a fire erupted in her mobile home, killing her boyfriend and her five children, ages 2 to 6.
Relatives of Angel were told by the hospital that the children and her boyfriend died of smoke inhalation, reports the Toledo Blade. Angel was able to give her five children a final kiss goodbye at the hospital.
After hearing the tragic news, Drizzy and Game pooled their resources together and donated $22,500 to Anna Angel on behalf of the Compton rapper's charitable organization the Robin Hood Project.
Drake went on his Instagram page to announce his contribution to this noteworthy cause.
He wrote:
Myself and @thedocumentary are donating a total of $22,500 to Ana Angel .. who lost her boyfriend & their 5 children in a house fire on behalf of @therobinhoodproject #therobinhoodproject. What @thedocumentary is doing will never be forgotten. Honored to be able to help people along side my brother."
Game has been on a positive streak as of late, helping families in need after a tragedy. Recently, 'The Documentary' rapper donated $10,000 to the family of 6-year-old Tiana Ricks, who was shot and killed, along with her father, in Southern California.
This is just one of the many charitable donations Game is expected to make in the next couple of weeks. The rapper has set aside $1,000,000 to give away through the Robin Hood Project.
Much props to Drake and Game for using their celebrity and money to help needy families across the country. Other rappers need to follow their lead.

OK, I think I got this installed and I can run it. I also got smart_ftp and can ftp to the tivo. Now what? Can somebody post some "newbie" or "for dummies" instructions on USING this program?
Example questions:
1) where are the program files (tmfs?) located on the Tivo (I probably should know this but I don't).
2) What's all this command line ftp stuff? Can't I just drag/drop?
3) how to download and re-upload using smart-ftp...in layman's terms.
I've been able to install and run every DTivo app I've tried without asking any questions. But this one gives me some problems. And how do I stop the program?

ASUS has started rolling out the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update for the Transformer Pad TF300 in the United States. This makes ASUS among the first company to roll out the Android 4.2 update for a non-Nexus device. ZTE has the honors of rolling out the Android 4.2 update first to a non-Nexus device, which is surprisingly a mid-range phone only available in China.
Android 4.2 will bring with it a lot of goodies to the Transformer Pad including multi-user support, lock screen widget, quick settings and enhanced performance and stability. ASUS is also making use of this opportunity to update some of its pre-installed apps including the keyboard and App locker.
ASUS also mentioned in its press release that it will be rolling out the Android 4.2 update for the Transformer Pad Infinity and the MeMo Pad Smart sometime in the second quarter of this year. The company did not mention anything about the Transformer Prime, which may suggest that the tablet has reached its end-of-life.

UM Architectural Historian Leonard Eaton dies
EATON, LEONARD K. February 3, 1922-April 1, 2014
Leonard Kimball Eaton was born February 3, 1922 in Minneapolis, MN. He was the son of a prominent lawyer, Leo K. Eaton, and Elizabeth Barber Eaton. He excelled as an intercollegiate swimmer at Williams College and graduated in 1943 as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. During World War II he served in the U.S. Army as a medic with the 86th Mountain Infantry of the 10th Mountain Division. He received a Bronze Star for bravery in combat at Torre Iussi, Italy. He subsequently served in the U.S. Army Reserve where he rose to the rank of Major. After the war he entered Harvard University where he studied with historian Arthur Schlesinger, Sr. He received his Ph.D. in American Civilization from Harvard in 1951. In 1950 he was appointed to the faculty of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor to a position in what became the College of Architecture and Urban Planning. He was named Professor of Architecture in 1964. In 1985 he became the Emil Lorch Professor of Architecture. He retired in 1988 and was granted emeritus status by the Regents of the University of Michigan in 1989. During his career at the University of Michigan he published extensively on architecture and architectural history. His books include New England Hospitals (1957); Landscape Artist in America (1964), a study of the work of landscape architect Jens Jensen, chief designer of the western section of the Chicago, Illinois park system; Two Chicago Architects and Their Clients (with Elizabeth Douvan) (1969), a study of the clients and work of architects Howard Van Doren Shaw and Frank Lloyd Wright; American Architecture Comes of Age (1972), an examination of European reaction to the work of Henry Hobson Richardson and Louis Sullivan; Gateway Cities and Other Essays (1989), a study of Midwestern warehouse architecture and Hardy Cross, American Engineer (2006) a study of the groundbreaking work of structural engineer Hardy Cross. During his time at the University of Michigan he was active in numerous interdisciplinary activities with other faculty members. From 1979 to 1985 he served as an adviser about matters related to Frank Lloyd Wright to Domino's Pizza founder Thomas Monaghan. With Monaghan's sponsorship he organized three significant conferences in Ann Arbor on Wright's work. He also taught undergraduate and graduate students at Wayne State University and the Flint, Grand Rapids, Port Huron and Dearborn campuses of the University of Michigan. He was a visiting professor at the University of Victoria, British Columbia. In 1985 he was awarded the Frederic Lindley Morgan Chair of Architectural Design at the University of Louisville. He was the recipient of numerous grants and awards to advance scholarship in architectural history from, among others, the Ford Foundation and the Fulbright Foundation. He was a member of the Society of Architectural Historians for over 50 years. He retired to the Oregon coast and continued to publish book reviews and scholarly articles, participate in history conferences and write poetry and a novel. He carried on extensive correspondence with friends, colleagues and former students. He was predeceased by his sister, Mary Eaton Staples. His marriage of three decades to Carrol Kuehn ended in divorce. In 1979 he married Ann Valentine White. He is survived by Carrol and their children, Mark Eaton of Alexandria, Virginia and his wife, Brooksie Koopman, Elisabeth Eaton of Brookfield, Wisconsin and her husband, Steven Ryan, and by Ann and her children, Kenneth White and his wife, Julie Revolinski, Alexandra White and her husband, Jeb Bishop, of Santa Cruz, California, Pamela Kemp of Mauzac, France, and her husband, Martin F. Kemp, and by four grandchildren, two step grandchildren, and one step greatgrandchild. A memorial service will be held on April 12 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, 414 SW 9th Street, Newport, Oregon 97365. Donations to the church are welcome at P.O. Box 1014, Newport, Oregon 97365.

A rather unusual event recently took place in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Fort Washington, Md. Several ministers of black churches met with members of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community — and formally apologized for what the organizers described as the church's judgmental attitude toward individuals who experience same-sex attraction and their loved ones.
Although a sincere apology is often the first step to restoring a fractured relationship, our culture has made public apologies into a performance art, characterized by carefully scripted PR creations and only token acknowledgments of actually having done wrong.
It was with this skepticism that I attended the forum at Carolina Missionary Baptist Church on Feb. 19, billed as an opportunity for people to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. Anthony E. Moore, pastor of Carolina, moderated the dialogue and stated up front that the forum was not intended to be one in which the church took a theological position on homosexuality. My pastor, Keith Battle, attended on behalf of Zion Church, and other sponsoring churches included Pilgrim Baptist Church in D.C. and New Vision Church in Bowie, Md.
When I arrived, someone was recounting what it has been like to be born a man while feeling, and ultimately living, like a woman. The speaker explained that she turned to prostitution and drugs after experiencing rejection from members of her family and church. She said that eventually she came back to church, committed her life to Christ and started to translate her pain into purpose.
There were similar stories throughout the two-hour forum, all with one common theme: The church, the one place that should represent the epitome of love, was often the most uncaring and unsafe place for these individuals when they were at their most vulnerable. Bishop Kwabena Rainey Cheeks, the openly gay pastor of Inner Light Ministries, a nondenominational church in Washington, bluntly declared that "the most dangerous place for a gay and lesbian person is the black church."
Moore listened intently as people shared their experiences, often taking notes while they spoke. Toward the end of the event, he reinforced the sincerity of the church's apology by pledging to continue the dialogue and to make concerted efforts to make his ministry more inclusive of members of the LGBT community.
This forum took place at an interesting moment, given evidence that suggests changes in American views on both Christianity and sexuality. A 2009 survey found that while a majority of Americans identified themselves as Christians, that percentage had declined 11 percent since 1990. Christianity faces competition not only from Judaism and Islam, the two other branches that emerged from the Abrahamic religious root, but also from Hinduism and Buddhism — as well as atheism.
One in five Americans surveyed said that they have no religious identity, and one in four said that they did not expect to have a religious funeral. The data confirm what most people have come to understand anecdotally: The country is becoming more diverse religiously, and Americans are becoming more comfortable with this pluralism. Many people who grew up in a particular faith have either eschewed formal religion altogether or embraced an à la carte syncretism, where melding multiple faiths and/or philosophies is covered under the nondescript banner of "spirituality."
Many traditional Protestant African-American churches have taken the fire-and-brimstone approach to preaching about sexuality and the LGBT community. Interestingly enough, this tactic rarely gets deployed for many of the other "thou shalt not"s that are enshrined in the Bible. In truth, many Christians have cloaked their personal revulsion to homosexuality in a thin veneer of religiosity.
While it may reinforce some people's sense of self-righteousness, shrouding hatred in Scripture makes for bad doctrine and even worse evangelism. Jesus built his ministry by spreading the gospel to people who were scorned by society. In addition to healing lepers and restoring sight to the blind, Jesus was criticized by the contemporary religious rulers for associating too closely with individuals they deemed unworthy.
Although the image of a preacher declaring eternal damnation resonates with many members of the LBGT community, not all churches have taken this position. A recent New York Times article cited U.S. Census Bureau data indicating that child rearing among same-sex couples is more common in the South than in any other part of the country, and found eight churches in Jacksonville, Fla., that openly welcome gay worshippers. It remains to be seen, however, to what extent the recent forum and the demographic trends in historically conservative regions foreshadow a broader shift in black churches' attitudes toward gays and lesbians.
The benefits of such a dialogue are not confined to Christians or members of the LGBT community. For years, the black church has been criticized for its lack of action in the fight against the spread of HIV and AIDS in the African-American community. This was undoubtedly in part because of doctrinal dissonance between messages about safe sex and HIV prevention, and biblical positions on the prohibition of sexual intimacy outside of a marital context. Regardless of the reasons, the outcome has been a deafening silence from one of the black community's most effective institutions for social change.
Washington, D.C., has the nation's highest rate of HIV and AIDS, and men who have sex with men are disproportionately affected by the disease. The black church cannot continue to be silent on such a critical health issue. Thankfully, other institutions have stepped in to fill the void. In 2009 the D.C. Department of Health provided on-the-spot STD testing during the orientation for the city's nationally recognized summer youth-employment program. In addition, many nonprofit organizations are dedicated to providing health education and services to residents of the District and surrounding jurisdictions. Even with the valiant efforts of these organizations, our communities would be even better off if the power of all institutions in civil society were harnessed for collective good.
Faith leaders should not shy away from confronting issues that affect both the spiritual and material condition of their communities. The church should be a place where all people, especially those who are hurting and vulnerable, can come to experience God's love and grace. This should be true regardless of race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, political affiliation or sexual orientation. In the same sense, critics must understand that pastors have an obligation to maintain fidelity to both the letter and spirit of the Scriptures, even in the face of changing social mores and religious pluralism.
The tension between black churches' theological stances on homosexuality and their central principle of "whosoever will, let him come" is something that churches must address honestly and lovingly in moving forward.

- 2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
- 1 cup shredded leftover turkey meat (optional)
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Recipe Preparation
Bring stock to a simmer in a medium pot over medium heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and keep warm.
Meanwhile, melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat until it begins to foam. Add onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and translucent and just beginning to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
Add mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, and any liquid released has evaporated, 5-7 minutes.
Add rice; stir to coat. Add 1/2 cup warm stock and stir constantly until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding stock by 1/2-cupfuls, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still firm to the bite, about 20 minutes.

To design the mixed-use complex, YKH_lab began with a 'mat-hybrid' layout to differentiate between public courtyards and private spaces, and to infuse daylighting into all the buildings. The project is a mix of three different housing typologies – the courtyard apartment; the linear row housing; and the high rise tower. The final form evolved over time as a way to maximize views from every apartment as well as to infiltrate natural daylighting into as many rooms as possible. Tower heights and angles were adjusted in order to bring natural day-lighting into both high and low set residential apartments.
In total, the housing complex features 362 apartments as well as parking, community centers, residential areas, gardens, courtyards, and retail zones. A series of green-roofed ramps and pedestrian pathways provide a variety of ways to move around the complex for both residents and visitors to the complex. Community space is also interwoven into the complex and provides eight courtyards, four connecting roof gardens, and four flexible indoor community spaces that could be used for cafes, a library, health clubs, or event halls. These public spaces and gardens promote community interaction, physical activity and walkability as a way to provide everything that one needs within the complex.

Hi, I'm sorry to troll at such a level... What Rob suggests goes clearly in the right direction. Yet again I have problems with some of the argumentation. I can understand Rob and Bob's "the cost of a single model of a blank node with cnt:chars is considered less for developers than having to check if the object of oa:hasBody is a literal". But "The typing and assignment of a MIME type to the text string (especially text/plain vs text/html) is very important for clients" does not convince me. One could easily default to process plain literals as text/plain. And quite sneakily this raises the question of typed literals. Has nobody ever asked for using XML datatypes directly instead of resources that may be only awkwardly mapped to these datatypes? (I ask the question out of the will to make the spec future-proof: personally I would be quite relieved to hear this had been considered earlier, but was discarded for some valid reason...) Antoine > > > To draw this to a close: > > * We will adopt the blank node with a single cnt:chars property method for when identity is considered unnecessary. > * The rationale given in the document will be updated to include typing (as below), OWL-DL and integration, and to downplay the bullets that Antoine mentioned as less convincing in his original email. > * The dctypes:Text additional class will be a MAY rather than a SHOULD > * The assignment of cnt:ContentAsText will be a SHOULD rather than a MUST, as this is easily able to be inferred from the presence of cnt:chars. Note that cnt:ContentAsBase64 uses cnt:bytes, so the two are distinguishable. > > This seems to solve the number of triples and explicit identity costs, while still maintaining OWL-DL compatability and consistency in the model. The typing and assignment of a MIME type to the text string (especially text/plain vs text/html) is very important for clients to understand how to process the text content. Overall, the cost of a single model of a blank node with cnt:chars is considered less for developers than having to check if the object of oa:hasBody is a literal or a resource, and decide which of the two options to use. > > Rob > > On Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 12:01 PM, Bob Morris <firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>> wrote: > > A few reasons we prefer OA artifacts, including bodies, as objects: > > 1.

My short answer is: I fully agree with Antoine's perspective and prefer oa:hasBody to be typed as rdf:Property, which gives the flexibility to attach both literals and resources. I also expressed this concern before as part of the lessons we learned in our Maphub experiment. > > > > I think if a body looks like a string, can be encoded as a string and should be interpreted as a string, then it is probably a string and we should not force people to represent it differently.

However, in many OA prototypes I have seen so far, bodies ARE simple strings; also in our own cookbook examples almost half of the examples have bodies, which are also simple strings. So I think we should take this into account and reconsider this design decision. > > > > The other argument is OWL-DL compatibility; and yes, if we want to maintain this then we can either introduce an additional short-cut property, continue with the current solution, or take Jacco's suggestion. However, before we do this, I would ask how many use cases require OWL-DL compatibility. In Maphub we don't need it and again, it seems that the majority of annotation use cases does not rely on it. I certainly agree that some use cases will need it, but question if this should be the driving design motivation. I think at the end it comes down to the question, if OA should facilitate the construction of a formal annotation knowledge base or if OA should facilitate sharing of annotations (data) and linkage of Web resources. My personal preference is clearly the latter because I think it is more down-to-earth. > > > > Maybe it is also worth mentioning that many DBPedia properties are typed as rdf:Property. Here is an example: http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Shining_(film) <http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Shining_%28film%29> … the producer of a movie can be a resource (if more info is available) or simply a string (if only the name is known). I mentioning this, because people are using DBPedia data and it seems that people are generally happy with this design decision. > > > > If people think that OWL-DL compatibility is a fundamental design requirement for the OA model, then I like Jacco's suggestion. However, I also want to point that the people might run into practical problems when we allow bnodes. It is, for instance, hard to compute hashes over annotation representation containing nodes that don't have names. Existing RDF libraries, often assign internal ids to bnodes, but they change when an annotation moves from system A to system B. > > > > As a concrete step I propose: > > - to allow simple literals for oa:hasBody and > > - to change the type of oa:hasBody to rdf:Property and update the corresponding examples in the spec > > - provide guidelines in the appendix explaining how people who require OWL-DL compatibility could transform OA data into a logically consistent knowledge base. > > > > Best, > > Bernhard > > > > ------ > > Bernhard Haslhofer > > Lecturer, Postdoctoral Associate > > Cornell University, Information Science > > 301 College Avenue > > > > firstname.lastname@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> (mailto:email@example.com <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com>) > > http://www.cs.cornell.edu/~bh392 <http://www.cs.cornell.edu/%7Ebh392> > > > > > > On Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Antoine Isaac wrote: > > > >> Dear all, > >> > >> I've refrained from putting in my earlier comments some more discussion-level issues focusing on http://www.openannotation.org/spec/future/level1.html#BodyEmbed > >> > >> "This model was chosen over having a literal as the Body directly for the following reasons:" > >> I'm sorry, but I still don't buy most of the reasons.

What does it mean, when you give an identifier to a string like "interesting!" or "I should read this"? And if the same string is assigned different literals?

But it is mitigated by the fact that in RDF literals are in fact resources, too (http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_literal). There are reasons (related to reasoning or syntax for which properties with literals as objects are distinguished from properties with "fully-fledged" resources as objects. But they do not apply to all RDF-based models. > >> > >> > >> - "While literals can have their language and datatype associated with them in RDF, there are other aspects of text that are important for interpretation that cannot be associated with a literal. Examples include directionality of the text and encoding, plus of course metadata such as authorship, date of creation and so forth, which would not be possible." > >> > >> This is very true - though it would help reader if you gave more info on what "directionality" means here. > >> But this argument is not against allowing literals as bodies. It just says that in some case, the bodies are sophisticated, document-like resources. Fair enough. But I will argue (and many others will) that many scenarios don't need this. And that it's not reasonable to impose on these latter scenarios the representation details that the former cases need. Caricaturing a bit, it looks as if we prevented string value attributes in object-oriented programming, on the basis that some texts deserve to be treated as objects. > >> > >> Note that we faced a similar situation in SKOS, for documentation properties (http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-primer/#secadvanceddocumentation). And the decision we made then is that these properties can be used either with simple literals or more complex resources. See > >> > >> > >> - "If a server wished to extract the text and make it a resource with an HTTP URI, it would not be possible to assert equivalence or provenance." > >> > >> I think it is the utter prerogative of annotation-producing applications, to decide whether the bodies they produce are worthy of specific provenance data or not. Is there a point in keeping track of whether someone "created" a string like 'I should read this' in the first place? > >> On the equivalence the argument is also not convincing: in fact literals come with equivalence conditions that are easy to get and already implemented. Trying to come with equivalence relationships between "resourcified literals" is much harder, both for spec designers or application builders (if we let them handle the issue). While working with the SKOS-XL extension have tried to open the can of worms of equivalence/identity conditions. We quite quickly postponed the issue (http://www.w3.org/TR/skos-reference/#L5739). > >> > >> > >> - "The cost of using ContentAsText is minimal: just one additional required triple over the literal case." > >> > >> I quite agree with the principle, though this one additional triples means millions of additional ones -- I expect that cases of simple text annotation will be very very common. > >> But I don't buy it in a context in which it is recommended to type the resource with a dcmitypes class, to type it as cnt:ContentAsClass and to give its MIME type using dc:format. That's 4 triples, not 1. And many of them can be seen as of dubious added value (see earlier comments) > >> > >> > >> Note that the two SKOS patterns mentioned above (documentation properties and SKOS-XL) could be used in OA to have simple text bodies co-exist with more complex ones, either in relative isolation (SKOS documentation pattern) and with a tighter correspondence (SKOS-XL pattern allows to switch from one pattern to the other). > >> And I believe that relative isolation is not as bad as it looks. Applications who produce simple bodies can only be bothered by the perspective of having more complex data on these bodies. And applications requiring more complex data (say, provenance) would probably need some more complex procedure to generate it from the data produced by the simpler applications. > >> > >> > >> Best, > >> > >> Antoine > > > > > > > > > > -- > >Received on Thursday, 10 January 2013 22:01:53 UTC

Many people travel across the Atlantic in search of "Old World" Europe and to witness traditional culture in action. But with most of Europe firmly entrenched in the modern world, travellers are getting fewer opportunities to glimpse the old way of life.
These days, the easiest (and sometimes only) way to experience traditional culture is by exploring Europe's great open-air folk museums. Usually located in spacious parks near big cities, these museums let you wander around traditional buildings - log cabins, thatched cottages, mills, schoolhouses, shops, and more. The buildings are furnished with original pieces and feature locals dressed in costumes weaving tales about life back in the day.
Founded in 1891, Stockholm's Skansen is Europe's original open-air folk museum - the first in what became a Europe-wide movement to preserve traditional architecture. Inside Skansen's buildings, locals talk about Swedish life. One wealthy farmer shows off his fine dishes and explains how he made his money by growing flax, which was then used to produce linen for undergarments (making heavy woollens more comfortable to wear).
Many traditional arts and crafts are dying, and artisans at Europe's open-air museums are doing what they can to keep the cuckoo clock from going the way of the dodo bird. For example, at Skansen, you will see demonstrations by potters, glass-blowers, and shoemakers.
Open-air folk museums were popularized in Scandinavia - and that's still where you will find the best ones. In Oslo, the Norwegian Folk Museum is located in a sprawling park a boat ride across the harbour from City Hall. A highlight is the stave church, built in 1212 by skilled Viking woodworkers and painstakingly reconstructed on the top of a hill at the park's edge.
In summer, these museums buzz with colourful folk dances and live music performances. At the Norwegian Folk Museum, a crowd gathers each hour at a farm hamlet from the northern region of Telemark to enjoy folk music and dance. With the strict social constraints of centuries past, folk dances were an acceptable way for boys and girls to flirt and strut their stuff.
While Stockholm and Oslo's open-air museums focus on rural folk life, Copenhagen's Den Gamle By shows Danish urban life through the centuries. A re-creation of a main square from the 1500s and 1600s features the mayor's house and the residence of a Copenhagen noble.
The Netherlands' best folk museum is located Arnhem, an hour by train from Amsterdam. A yellow draw-bridge dating from 1358 leads to a scenic pond surrounded by wind-mills and cabins. Inside the laundry house, an industrial-strength agitator furiously pounds stubborn stains to smithereens (there was no "delicate cycle" back then).
Like most folk museums, Arnhem is especially appealing for families. Kids love playing with the small rope-pulled ferry boat or trying to ride the "high-wheeled velocipede" without falling off. The high-tech HollandRama multimedia experience is Arnhem's effort to keep up with the Disneys. A giant capsule slowly rotates to gradually reveal various Dutch scenes, such as wind-mills, a snowy countryside, and house and store interiors. .

Vice President Joe Biden didn't really get fresh with a black leather-clad biker chick while he was trolling for votes at an Ohio campaign event this weekend; he just sat kind of close to her.
Many of you are probably thinking, "So what?" But this really cheesy posed campaign shot has been left open to a lot of interpretation throughout the internet. While it looks like she's on his lap, he actually pulled the chair up close so they could talk and she could be with her group.
In actuality, the pair looks like they're more likely to raid a Caribbean port town than get frisky with one another.
If the A.P. wanted to have a little fun, they should have written (if far-out interpretations of meaningless crap is what they were going for) that Joe Biden and a biker chick are staging a pirate raid on the White House for 2012. Well, that might be better material for The Onion. (Hat Tip to vandy0419!)

DENVER (AP) – Immigrants living illegally in Colorado will be able to get driver's licenses under a bill signed Wednesday by Gov. John Hickenlooper, adding the state to a handful of others that provide a legal way for immigrants to use the roads.
The issue has picked up momentum this year, with Oregon and Nevada passing laws in recent weeks, and Connecticut's governor expected to pass a measure that lawmakers approved last week.
Hickenlooper said he saw the proposal as a step toward changing the nation's immigration laws.
"I'm not trying to tell Congress what form that takes, any of the details, but we are moving in that direction, and this is something that's a first step," the Democratic governor said.
The bill was signed in private, before the governor signed several other bills in front of lawmakers and the media. But Hickenlooper's office said the private signing was simply because one of the lead sponsors was out of town.
"We weren't trying to downplay it," spokesman Eric Brown said.
Supporters of the bill argued that everyone on the roads should know the rules and be insured, regardless of their immigration status.
The licenses would be labeled to say they are not valid for federal identification and can't be used to vote, obtain public benefits or board a plane. Hickenlooper said immigrants should have licenses that allow them to drive to work, get insurance, and be identified in car accidents, while at the same time making clear they are not U.S. citizens.
New Mexico, Illinois and Washington state already grant driver's licenses to immigrants who are in the country illegally. Utah grants immigrants a driving permit that can't be used for identification. Nevada's bill, signed into law last week, requires immigrants to prove their identity with a passport or birth certificate, and the "driving privilege cards" must be renewed annually.
In Colorado, immigrants pass a driver's license test and prove they're paying state and federal taxes. They also must show an identification card from their country of origin. The licenses would be renewed every three years.
But opponents argued there's no way to verify the identities of immigrants with certainty, and they worried the licenses wouldn't necessarily lead to more people having insurance. Republican Sen. Kevin Lundberg said he worried the proposal would encourage more people to come to Colorado illegally.
Colorado's bill takes effect Aug. 1, 2014. Legislative analysts who worked on the bill estimate that more than 45,000 immigrants will apply for licenses the first year.

Divorce As A Healing Process
Imagine if divorce, instead of being the destructive process that prevents you from co-parenting your children for the next 15 to 20 years, is now part of a healing process, one that lets you hear and be heard, often as you haven't been able to for many years before.
My name's Chaim Steinberger, and I'm a mediator, negotiator, divorce and family-law lawyer. I graduated top of my class in law school, worked for some of the most prestigious law firms in the country, and clerked for a United States District Court Judge. Unfortunately, I went through my own rather nasty divorce and I said to myself, "There's got to be a better way!" I now practice that better way, treat clients the way I wish I had been treated, and fight ferociously to ensure that my clients get the justice they deserve.
I serve as a mediator and arbitrator on half-a-dozen panels of the State Supreme and Federal Courts, and I use my extensive experience resolving complicated conflicts to help my clients resolve theirs. My clients get better results with less angst because, as Game Theory (the "prisoner's dilemma") teaches, each contestant can get more if they all work together, then anyone could get, by being adversarial. I treat each case as if it were my very own, and I live and die with each case. I protect and defend my clients when they are at their most vulnerable–when their closest confidant becomes their worst adversary. I settle the intractable cases and win the unwinnable ones (see, How to Win the Unwinnable Case), and I do so with dignity, honesty, and integrity. Although I'm a bulldog litigator, I prefer to use Divorce Without Destruction to get my clients better results.
Many have told me that working with me has changed their lives and a psychologist once said, "Chaim, before I heard you speak, I would've never let any of my children become a lawyer." Treating even my adversaries with dignity and respect has achieved superior results for my clients, prompting a colleague to call my technique "the Chaim-lich maneuver."
Whether you need to negotiate a pre-nuptial agreement with the love of your life or settle an acrimonious divorce with someone you no longer love, contact us and we'll help you safely navigate the legal landscape in a way that'll allow you to keep your dignity and that won't further traumatize the relationship with your children's other parent. Call us when someone you love needs expert, caring guidance or is being prevented from seeing their children.
"Chaim, you gave my daughter back her childhood."
"Through you, I now have a beautiful 6 year old granddaughter. Thank you."
"Chaim is one of the best!"

Imagine that it's a lovely spring day, perfect for wearing cute shorts or a flowy little skirt. Do you stick to long pants because of the ugly veins on your legs? If so, you're among the half of American women with the problem. But the good news is that there's no longer any need for wardrobe anxiety. The latest cutting-edge treatments for all three types of vein issues—spider, reticular and varicose—offer fast, gentle fixes, so you can feel more confident about letting those legs of yours see the light of day.
First, it's useful to know what causes unsightly veins. Your blood vessels have valves that act as one-way flaps, preventing blood from flowing backward. Strong valves help push blood back to the heart, which then pumps blood to the organs and extremities. But weak valves have trouble with this step, causing blood to collect inside the vein. Over time, this constant pressure stretches vein walls, and as blood fills them, the veins become larger and more visible, says Neil Sadick, M.D., clinical professor of dermatology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City, who specializes in vascular diseases. Doctors aren't certain why valves weaken, but they blame the usual suspects—age and genetics. Another mystery is why the type of faulty veins varies from woman to woman. Some veins show up as weblike patterns, others as thick, bulging ropes, or both. But one thing is sure: Past treatments, which were painful, required bed rest and put patients at risk for serious scarring, will soon be obsolete because of new procedures that can be performed in less than an hour. "Downtime and pain are simply not factors anymore," says Mitchel Goldman, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California at San Diego, who is considered a leading authority on vein-removal methods. Learn more about your vein type with our guide, and schedule some time with a doctor who is schooled in the therapy. Then reconsider those shorts, because you're going to look great!
Red, blue or purple lines, no wider than a strand of angel-hair pasta, that resemble branches or webs
Spider veins
Sclerotherapy, a series of saline injections that shrivel vein walls so they can be absorbed by the bloodstream. The saline solution causes painful burning and cramping, so doctors must spread treatments over many sessions, which can get pricey (up to $1,200 per leg if you need three treatments).
Docs have swapped saline for glycerin, a painless alternative that makes it possible to wipe out spider veins in as few as two visits. Using an ultrafine needle, a doctor injects the solution directly into each vein, which makes the walls swell, stick together and seal shut; the extra blood is rerouted to a healthier vessel and the sealed veins are eventually absorbed by the bloodstream. Veins will begin to look lighter right away; full eradication may take up to four weeks. Doctors suggest wearing compression stockings for the first week after treatment, but there's no real downtime: You'll be able to handle a brisk walk immediately post-therapy and can hit the gym full-force in 24 hours.
$250 to $500 per leg
Flat, blue lines that look as if you drew on your legs with a Magic Marker, and who would do that? They're thicker and longer than spider veins; they can be as wide as a pencil and up to 3 inches long.
Reticular veins
As with spider veins, saline sclerotherapy injections
Another updated version of sclerotherapy. Glycerin can't break down the thick, rubbery reticular vein walls, so doctors inject a more powerful, sulfate-based foamy detergent called Sotradecol. In seconds, the vein walls swell and then seal. The treatment lasts about 10 minutes, after which patients can go back to their usual routine. Reticular veins will fade immediately, but it can take about a month for legs to clear completely. There is one possible side effect: Some patients develop a brown, hyperpigmented stain over the treated vein, which is a result of blood leaking from the vein to the dermis. (There's a chance this could occur after spider vein treatments, too, but it's more likely with reticular veins because the bigger the vein, the greater the risk.) Luckily, you can expect the mark to fade in three to nine months, Dr. Goldman says.
$500 to $1,000 per leg
Purple or blue lumpy tubes, which can sometimes be as wide as your thumb and up to several inches long; they often crisscross and layer over one another, popping up from the skin in unsightly squiggles.
Varicose veins
Surgical stripping, an aggressive surgery that involves an incision, which is made across the length of the vein. The doctor then inserts a hooked instrument, which is used to pull out the vein. The treatment, which takes about three hours, is painful and requires general anesthesia, stitches and one to two weeks of bed rest, plus heavy bandages. Scarring is common.
Intravascular laser treatment, a 30- to 40-minute procedure that requires only local anesthesia and is significantly less painful than stripping—plus there's minimal risk for scars. Your doctor will numb the skin and insert a tiny catheter through a needle. The fiber of a laser (the most popular is CoolTouch, recently cleared by the FDA to treat leg veins) is then woven through the catheter. Once inside, the laser heats the vein walls, which causes them to break down, shrivel and absorb into the bloodstream. (Again, the blood is rerouted to healthier blood vessels.) The problem veins vanish almost immediately, Dr. Goldman says. After the treatment you'll have to wear compression stockings for about two weeks to prevent bruising and promote healing. And you'll be encouraged to keep moving to increase circulation; going on walks, not resting in bed, is part of the recovery.
$3,000 to $5,000 per leg. Check with your insurance company: If your situation is severe, it may cover the treatment, as ignoring varicose veins can lead to serious health problems such as blood clots.
They're your legs—they deserve an expert. The American College of Phlebology (Phlebology.org) and the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS-Net.org) can refer you to a doctor trained in the newest treatments.

TO MARY NEYLAN, whose husband has received job security: More on the graces accompanying the death of Charles Williams. Lewis asks if he can dedicate George MacDonald: An Anthology to her.
20 May 1945
I think what you say about 'grief being better than estrangement' is very true. I am sorry you should have had this grief. . .
I also have become much acquainted with grief now through the death of my great friend Charles Williams, my friend of friends, the comforter of all our little set, the most angelic. The odd thing is that his death has made my faith ten times stronger than it was a week ago. And I find all that talk about 'feeling he is closer to us than before' isn't just talk. It's just what it does feel like—I can't put it into words. One seems at moments to be living in a new world. Lots, lots of pain but not a particle of depression or resentment.
By the bye I've finished a selection from Geo. MacDonald (365 extracts) which will come out about Xmas: would you (or not) care to have it dedicated to you? I feel it is rather yours by right as you got more out of him than anyone else to whom I introduced his books. Just let me know.
And why should you assume I'm too occupied to see you? Friday mornings in term are bad, but alright in Vac: and Friday afternoons in both. I should like a visit (with a week's notice) whenever you find one convenient.
Excuse this paper. It may be less blotched than yours but yours did at least begin life as a real piece of note paper! I'm so glad Dan has got his job made permanent. Blessings!

Apparently today is "ship off your spare outfielders" day in Pittsburgh.
Diaz will be seen as a disappointment for his five months in the 'burgh but he was mostly his normal self after an ice cold April. The biggest problem was the team played him too often against righthanded pitchers.
Its just as well that he's gone because I didn't see him playing much the rest of the year. McCutchen, Tabata, Presley, Ludwick and Jones were all ahead of him on the depth chart.
Update 9/21/11: The Pirates acquired AA RHP Eliecer Cardenas from the Braves to complete the deal. The tree above has been updated.

Females are usually and mainly attracted to men for what is on the Meet Locals inside. When I say the inside, what I am referring to is our personalities and internal qualities. It is these features that make women feel an attraction to us.
Now we move up the ladder to a free site where you can create a Find Local Single Women profile, search members and if you want to contact a member, you must pay. This is referred to as a combo site. The benefit to the combo site is you actually only pay if there is a person that you see and are interested in meeting.
The most common thing that people say when asked to try online dating is, they are not sure if it works. The very idea of meeting someone they don't know for a relationship, throws people off. Most people compare it to blind dates. But blind dates are completely different. In Reddit Local Hookup blind dates two people who don't anything about each other, go on a date to get to know each other. But, online dating is different, though the person you are likely to meet will be a total stranger, you can get to know a lot about the person before you choose to meet them.
I say this because, well, that's how Perry and I met. Late September on Black People Meet, I was going through an inbox of lame messages and flirts, ready to delete my profile because all of the men were old, ugly, unprofessional, or just wrong. But I decided to try one more search, and his page popped up. He was cute and I LOVED what I read on his page. We deleted our profiles so I don't have the exact quote but I know that he mentioned his expectations from the site, what his ideal woman would be, his educational status and his values. And I was intrigued. So, being that I had a full membership, I sent him a short message along the lines of "I like what I read, we should get together for a dinner sometime, and see if we hit if off."
When you're seeking love online, always remember the goal of internet dating is to actually get to the first date. When you keep the goal of getting to a first date in mind as you message and flirt with other singles at Facebook, what do you need to keep in mind for getting a girlfriend or a boyfriend?
If you try too hard to portray yourself as funny, fascinating or any other characteristic you're trying to get across, it will show. You may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but of course, you want to show the real you Local Tinder Meet to someone you'd like to date. Be yourself and your good qualities will come through in your profile.
The key focus of on the internet dating providers is the personals ads or advertisement of members seeking just one woman or man for courting etc. Hence, in World wide web or online courting site you register to find personals ads visible to the registered members. Once matchmaking and trust is established on the internet, you can invite the member to meet in individual for dating and consequently relationship building as the courting moves a step further.
Singles complain about their dating disaster and when we ask them about their profile they admit they weren't specific as to the type of person they were looking for. Some went through an Meet Local Black Singles Free online dating site where they'll never find the perfect date.
Some people find that by looking at a photo of their potential love match that they either do or do not have an instant attraction. Further more, reading the profile gives them an idea of what the person is like and what they were expecting from a partner. To others, seeing a photo is important, as, along with the written profile, this is what initially attracts them. If there is Meet Local Men no photo at all it gives the feeling that the person is hiding something. If something about you makes you worried that people won't want you, just be honest. Somebody will be attracted to you. Remember, unlike the school or office bullies, there are good people in the World who see you for who you really are.
The next very important tip is this, whatever you do don't talk about your past relationships in your profile. This is a major turnoff at all times. No one wants to be compared to the last person you were with. They also don't want to hear all of the juicy details of a previous affair with someone else. You want to forget the past and look forward to the future with someone new. This is why you are there in the first place.
Should I Contact The Person? Alright, you've made it to make or break time. Right now the person is either contemplating sending you a message or they've already written a message and they have their finger on the submit button and they're thinking, "Should I contact this person?" You can maximize on this mental process by telling the person to contact you. That's right. Put a call-to-action in your online dating profile that says, "Message me and let's go out. You know you want to," or something to that effect. You'd be amazed at how well a simple command can work at getting you more messages and, ultimately, more dates.
Dating is supposed to be fun, right? And it usually is, except when you don't seem to be meeting the kind of people you're looking for online. You've written a great profile, you've added some fantastic photos, but nothing seems to be happening. So now what? Don't panic, because we can help. This week we are going to cover 5 things you might be doing that are sabotaging your otherwise successful online dating experience. Some of Dating Local Singles these are common sense, and other are not as obvious. However, any one of these could be a big turn off for an otherwise prospective love interest.
In conclusion, women are searching for appealing men to date. It's not jobs or money that make for an out-of-the-ordinary kind of guy. It's the men who simply understand the woman's perspective on the type of guy that makes an interesting date and design their profile accordingly.
The online dating sites use algorithms that are unreliable and may Meet Local Women Online match you with someone that's quite the opposite of what you're expecting. It's amazing how many people resort to online dating taking a chance at danger.
Compliment her. Pay attention to how she looks. For all you know, she spent hours getting ready for Local Area Singles the date that you are about to have. Compliment her hair or her dress, but do not be creepy about it. Compliment her eyes or just the way she looks.

Slower growth, low attrition hit tech hiringSaturday, February 02, 2013
When Shantanu Kumar, 23, graduated from one of Bangalore's top engineering colleges last year, he had a job offer from HCL Technologies Ltd, India's fourth largest software services company. With an education loan to pay back and under pressure to start earning a salary soon, Kumar was all set to join the nearly 2.5 million professionals working in India's $100 billion (around Rs.5.4 trillion) information technology (IT) industry.
That hasn't happened yet. The initial job offer from HCL Technologies has been followed by a dozen emails and several mobile phone text messages from the company delaying his joining date.
"I am now wondering if I should have followed some of my schoolmates who opted for civil engineering and not computer science," said Kumar.
For the first time since the global financial meltdown that followed the collapse of Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008, when top outsourcing customers shelved projects and cancelled ongoing work, India's top 10 software services exporters will hire around 150,000 engineers this year. They hired around 200,000 last year and some 400,000 during 2006-2007, when demand for outsourcing was at its peak.
The 150,000 gross hiring estimate for this year includes lateral hires and recruits overseas, said an official at Nasscom, the industry lobby, on condition of anonymity.
This time, it's not only because of slowing economic growth. These companies are pushing more aggressively to gain revenue by adding fewer staff; their attrition rate—a measure of employees quitting jobs—has declined sharply, meaning they don't need additional staff. Revenue growth in the past five years was less than half the pace from 2003 to 2008.
After years of complaining about double-digit attrition rate, India's top technology firms are realizing that they may not need to hire as many fresh engineering graduates this year because the number of employees quitting their first jobs is at an-all time low.
The attrition rate at Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (TCS), Infosys Ltd and Wipro Ltd is down by anywhere between 5% and 10% from a year ago. TCS, for instance, reported a 9.8% attrition rate in its IT services business during the December quarter—the first single-digit rate in several years. India's second biggest software firm Infosys has over 40,000 staff on the bench waiting for projects that can be billed.
So if Kumar is not getting an immediate placement, he can also blame campus recruits such as Bhargavi, 25, who joined one of the top five tech firms in June 2011, and is yet to quit.
"Unlike a few years ago, there are no jobs available for those with three years' experience and even if you get it, the salary levels do not justify the shift," Bhargavi said in a phone interview, requesting her second name not be mentioned.
Already, the $70 billion software services exports industry is now generating every additional $1 billion in revenue with less than half the number of engineers it needed until 2003—an early indication that the country's top tech firms are earning more from high-end projects that require fewer people.
"When we double our revenue to $20 billion, we do not plan to be a 500,000 (employee) organization," said Ajoy Mukherjee, global head of human resources (HR) at TCS, which now has 263,637 people on its rolls. For the year ending March 2013, TCS would have hired 43,600 fresh engineering graduates. But next year, it plans to hire just around 25,000 from the campuses. (Also read: TCS plans to hire 25,000 freshers from campuses in 2013)
"Our campus joining ratio (the percentage of students actually joining the company after they are offered a job) is also higher than past years at over 70%," said Mukherjee.
The trend has been apparent for a few years now, and it's started showing results. For instance, in 2003, when India's software exports were worth $9.5 billion, firms such as TCS and Infosys needed 37,798 engineers to earn $1 billion. In the year ended March 2012, the industry added 19,783 people for every additional $1 billion in revenue, according to Nasscom.
Firms such as TCS say that while there is a stronger push to delink revenue expansion from employee growth rates, overall hiring plans will remain unaffected as long as orders in the traditional business of software applications development and maintenance keep coming.
"As long as the legacy business keeps growing, we do not see any slowdown in hiring," Mukherjee said.
An increasing proportion of non-engineering graduates (arts and science graduates) in the workforce, slower growth (compounded annual growth rate of 14% in 2008-2013 against 33% growth between 2003 and 2008) and an overall drive to delink revenue from payroll growth is causing a massive shift in hiring plans at technology firms.
"Non-engineering graduates for us are still less than 10% of the total workforce, but that base is increasing very, very fast," said Saurabh Govil, senior vice-president of HR at Wipro.
Executives at the country's top four software firms and Nasscom confirmed lower hiring this year.
"With the trends that you mentioned, the engineering hiring numbers would drop. We do not have a talent demand forecast as of now, we are working on that piece," said Achyuta Ghosh, head of research at Nasscom, who is interviewing member firms on their hiring plans before putting out an official estimate.
He added that it's time now for shifting the focus away from the volume of engineering graduates produced every year and work on improving the so-called employability—a person's ability to get and hold a job—of these graduates.
"Companies often complain about how they are not getting enough candidates for these high-growth services, but we still seem to be churning out students with the same skills that were required by the industry 10 years back. Unlike other industries, my point is that the IT industry is extremely fast evolving, and there is a need for the education system to keep evolving too, to supply appropriate manpower," said Ghosh.
Some companies said the industry needs to seriously consider re-skilling the 1 million engineering graduates and diploma holders joining the job market every year.
"With so many engineers being produced in India each year, perhaps we will need to look at re-skilling some of our talent, introduce new courses and broaden existing academic disciplines to ensure that the talent we are grooming today in our universities can meet the needs of the dynamically changing industry," said Nandita Gurjar, senior vice-president and group head of HR at Infosys. (Also read: CEO Infosys: Hiring will depend on biz)
Infosys expects one-third of its revenue to come from newer technologies of cloud computing, mobility and software products. The skill sets required for such work are completely different from just software code writing or application maintenance.
"In the technology sector itself, areas like big data, cloud, mobility are coming up in a big way. Therefore, I believe it is important for students graduating in these times to focus on upskilling themselves, which will equip them to leverage the opportunities available to them," said Gurjar.
Infosys also plans to increase the proportion of non-engineering graduates, analysts at Citigroup Global Markets Inc. said in a research note on 22 January.
"Currently, campus hiring leads demand by around 2 years—Infosys is looking at converting the around 7 months training period to a mix of online/classroom training," Citi Research analysts Surendra Goyal and Rishi V. Iyer said.
Two of three chief executive officers (CEOs) at India's top 10 software exporters said their biggest concern is to arrest the ballooning payroll.
"In a new service line we are launching this year, there is scope to trim the staff strength by more than half—we are exploring ways to redeploy some of them," said one of the CEOs requesting anonymity because these are internal plans.
Another factor for lower hiring this year is higher growth in computer infrastructure management and back-office projects. These projects do not require specialized engineers, and can be executed by arts, science and even commerce graduates. Also, the potential to automate these processes is much higher than traditional software application work. (Also read: IT and ITES industry overview)

Multi media Filter Systems, also known as depth filters or turbidity filters, contains two or more types of media and a gravel underbedding. The gravel is used as a support to keep smaller medias out of the distribution system and to stop channeling of water. CRYSTAL QUEST Commercial multimedia systems are designed for the removal of turbidity in the water caused by sand, silt, ferric iron, oxidized manganese or sulfur. They are used in applications such as chlorination filtration systems, general turbidity removal and prior to Ultraviolet sterilizers or water softeners. Multi media filtration is a proven design concept; the coarse media layers in the top of the tank trap large particles, and smaller particles are trapped in the finer layers of media deeper in the filtering bed. The result is a highly efficient filtering, since removal takes place throughout the entire bed. Multi media filters typically remove particles 5 to 15 microns in size as opposed to a conventional single media sand filter which removes 30 micron or higher. The standard FEATURES include: Metered Fleck controls, Heavy duty Structural tanks, Poly Glass mineral tank filled with high capacity ion exchange resins, All brass, motor driven control valve with fully adjustable regeneration cycles, Self-adjusting backwash controller, Flow controller to limit backwash flow, Engineered for commercial & industrial use and an optional skid mounting for tank.
