Résumé styles
- A chronological résumé works well if you have had steady employment in an industry or field and want to remain in the field.
- A functional résumé is organized by skills and expertise. This is especially useful if you're changing careers, because it focuses on transferable skills that carry over from one field to another.
- A combination résumé includes elements of both chronological and functional résumés. Organize your résumé by job history as in a chronological résumé. Under each job, list the key skills that you demonstrated in that job.
Formatting your résumé
- The print version of your résumé should use at least 11 point font, black ink on white paper. No colors, photos or fancy fonts!
- A plain text version is the same résumé but without formatting features such as bullets, bold fonts, etc. Use the plain text version for pasting into online forms and databases. The Riley Guide tells you how.
- Format the résumé yourself instead of using résumé-building tools provided by online job sites. Many online résumé forms require a chronological format.

In the framework of the European Year, the Equality Commission of Northern Ireland produced a report in April 2012 setting out its proposals of reform of the age equality legislation in Northern Ireland so that individuals have increased protection against discrimination on the grounds of age by those providing goods, facilities, services, exercising public functions or by private clubs. The changes proposed mean that age equality legislation in Northern Ireland keeps pace with legislative changes due to take effect in Great Britain later in the year. Finally, the proposed changes are in keeping with the Executive's Older People's strategy "Ageing in an Inclusive Society", which aims to improve the lives of older people.
On 25 September 2012, the Equality Commission of Northern Ireland also held a seminar in the Stormont Hotel, Belfast, providing a platform for the age sector and other key stakeholders to discuss the need for the forthcoming age discrimination legislation. It explored the Commission´s recommendations for age health and social care provisions and potential developments at a European and GB level. The event concluded with a panel discussion focusing on delegates' issues on the subject. The seminar was well received by the 102 delegates who attended from the age, public, legal, health, trade union and voluntary and community sectors.
Speaking at the seminar were OFMdFM Junior Ministers Jonathan Bell MLA and Jennifer McCann MLA; Roisin Mallon, Senior Policy Officer, Equality Commission for NI; Robin Allen QC, Head of Cloisters Barristers´ Chambers; and Helen Bowers, Head of Policy and Research, National Development Team for Inclusion.
To demonstrate the impact the changes proposed could have, Ann Gamble shared her experience on the level of care provided to the elderly in nursing homes. A group of young people produced a video highlighting the barriers they, and a parent, have faced when accessing health and social care.
Equality Commission for Northern Ireland
The Equality Commission for Northern Ireland is an independent public body whose general duties and functions are working towards the elimination of discrimination, promoting and monitoring the implementation of equality of opportunity, as well as keeping equality legislation under review.

Carol Pinchefsky, Contributor
I mean business about science fiction and geek culture.
As Frank O'Connor, the franchise development director of Halo 4, explained to me the importance of strategy in the long-awaited addition in the Halo series, all I could think was, "Naked naked naked." That's because I had just met the 2012 version of Cortana, the Master Chief's AI companion, a character who is brilliant, capable, loyal and happened to be completely sans garments. Because of Halo 4's excellent graphics, her body, rather than her personality, is in the forefront. Naked naked naked.
The Master Chief is back, and Cortana is with him every step of the way to keep him abreast of the situation. There's some extremely exciting action here, butt the game also explores Cortana's over-extended lifespan, which results in an AI insanity, rampancy. Action and emotion: It's the breast of both worlds.
And if I'm milking this imagery too much (<–see what I did there), perhaps it's because I didn't expect everything to look as crisp and real as it did (especially so soon after I had written two articles about sexism and gaming, here and here.) Halo 4 is shaping up to be an adrenaline-producing game that happens to be extremely, um, eye-catching.
Unsurprisingly to Halo fans, the action is absolutely astonishing. The intensity, the flow, the precision at which the enemies struck—none of it compared to the moment when O'Connor, at the controls, tossed a grenade at an enemy, only to see our opponent pick the grenade up and fling it right back at us.
Let me repeat that: An enemy flung our own %^*@! grenade right back in our faces.
That (and the naked naked naked) was the stand-out moment in a demo that was full of gorgeous gunplay, brightening Halo 4's multiple shades of black with muzzle flashes.
The enemies we were facing at that moment, according to O'Connor, are called Crawlers, AIs devised by the Forerunners. "They're pretty easy to deal with, but their pack behavior make them challenging some times. The fact that they can crawl on any surface means they can flank you."
Flank they did. The Master Chief had a helluva time trying to shut down a communication's relay, but thanks to some advanced weaponry, he managed it. It turns out that killing Crawlers doesn't just lead to personal satisfaction at keeping the galaxy safe from infestation: Crawler-killing can lead to some very cool loot, something the Master Chief will obviously need in his fight on Requiem, a Forerunner planet, against the Prometheans, the enemies of the new "Reclaimer" Trilogy.
"They obviously come with their own technology." O'Connor pointed out a pistol and a rifle of the Forerunners, something you can loot from an enemy corpse. "Halo fans like getting new equipment to play with."
These nice new additions to your arsenal may also include a "hardlight shield." "A lot of alien technology is based on the fact that light has mass, like a physical object. That will become part of the story." (As we know, regular light, as in photons, has no mass. But alien tech is allowed to Higgs it up.)
But Halo 4 isn't just about guns and shields. The story also involves Cortana, and the relationship between the AI and the mostly silent Master Chief has given the series a depth that has engaged the players on an emotional level. O'Connor said, "AIs have a life span of seven years, and she's almost eight, the time when an AI starts to decay and overwrite itself. [Halo 4 is] about her degenerating condition and its effect on her relationship with the Master Chief and on the game itself.
"The Master Chief is a little stiff and robotic and she's the more human of the two. Cortana is an unusual AI because she was cloned from the brain pattern of her creator, a scientist named Catherine Halsey, and she's the only AI based on a human brain pattern, which has its advantages and disadvantages." What kind of disadvantages? "You'll find out."
Exactly the quality of writing I've come to expect from this particular contributor.
Please stop contributing.
To be honest, the first thing i noticed in Halo 4 was that Cortana getting more and more sex appeal trough the games. I get it that they want some romantic "never could be but what if" relationship between her and Chief, still, i think they are going a bit overboard.
How could any relationship be expected between the MC and an AI construct that doesn't even have a body and is based on the closest thing that MC had has a mother since entering the Spartan-II program? No, that is not what the developers are aiming for.
"O'Connor told me, 'She is, in fact, wearing clothes. She's effectively wearing a skin-tight leotard. [Cortana is] a hologram. The AIs in our universe pick their appearance…for their reasons. There's another AI who looks like a wizard.'"
If O'Connor is suggesting that Cortana herself chooses how revealing an outfit to wear, this is an absurd argument. Cortana is a fictional character. It is artists and designers who create her (undoubtedly with some help from marketing) and determine how she will look. No matter what in-game backstory they choose to give for her appearance—how she "picks" to appear, indeed—any sex appeal that she may be given has been engineered by her creators.
"'Also,' he said, 'it's a videogame.'"
And then to follow it with this enormous cop out, it's clear he doesn't want to discuss the issue at all. Looking at the evolution of Cortana through the different games, she has clearly been made more visually sexual in each incarnation.
O'Connor himself—and even 343 Industries—doesn't need to shoulder all the responsibility, as the artists at Bungie started down that path long ago, beginning the noticeable inflation of Cortana's chest and hips in Halo 3. But sweeping it under the rug by saying it's only a videogame is to delegitimize the medium as an art form and to abdicate any responsibility as an artist.
Finally, I don't know why he felt the need to lie to you after telling Game Informer in April that she is a "beautiful blue naked lady," and suggesting that her nudity may be a feminist ideal, giving her an edge in interpersonal interactions.
Games matter, particularly games that are part of a series that's seen by millions. And the portrayal of women in the medium matters, again, particularly when it's seen by millions. Unless sexuality is a part of the storyline—is a real part of the characterization—then having an ever-curvier naked woman in your game is just for sex appeal, albeit with a bit of hypothetical backstory tossed around to silence journalists who object. Frank should have the courage to admit as much, and we should all be able to have a conversation about it without saying, "It's just a game."
honestly i don't think that they tried to make her more "sexy" looking i think its just the fact that she got more realistic looking, i mean in the original she was pretty much naked as she is in halo 4 she's just more updated to look smoother and realistic instead of a outdated original xbox look.
Firstly Matthew,
You are taking this way too deep into heart. O'Connor's statement was in referral to the fictional side of the game, wherein, AI's DO choose their own appearance. They are created, gain consciousness, and decide how they wish to portray themselves in a 3D space via hologram. Very much akin to how you portray yourself in THIS 3 dimensional reality, with the clothes you wear.
Secondly, unless you are complaining about how ALL women are portrayed, ALL the time, you need to be silent. Now. There are much, MUCH, "worse," ways that women are portrayed. For example, go read FIFTY SHADES OF GRAY, perhaps. Look at televised media, and the social expectations of women. Not that I particularly care, because the male gender in itself, is put into an expectation where brawn is far better than brain. So neither side has any right to complain more than the other.
Thirdly, you don't even KNOW who the artists are. I assume however, that YOU assume all the artists, as well as programmers, are male. Which would be a rather sexist assumption on your part. Making your entire comment rather…moot. Do you not suppose? The fact of the matter is, we are in a society that values looks over what matters more. Intelligence, honesty, dependability, etc. Get use to it, there is nothing you can do to change it. Complaining that video games are portraying women, "wrong," is criminalizing the wrong thing. If you want to blame someone, or something, blame society. Not its products. Blaming the products will gain you nothing in return. And if you don't like it. DON'T BUY IT. For crying out loud, no one in THE WORLD is shoving a gun down your throat saying, "You'll buy this game. And you will stare a perhaps naked, perhaps not, lady!" Especially not if you're just going to complain about it later.
And so what, if he wants to say, "its just a game." He has every right to, it is his project. Not yours. If you ca not enjoy an amazing sci-fi story just because women are being portrayed, "incorrectly," in this instance…then clearly you have chosen to be blind about the constant societal corruption that goes on around you.
Look at it this way, can you list even one thing about Cortana's character or her role in the series that's sexist and/or belittling? I can't think of one. You and the author of this article seem to be only having an issue with her (partial in my book) nudity. I think the more important question to ask is, why is nudity such a big deal? There's nothing about the way she is portrayed that is belittling or chauvinistic. To me our culture's obsessive fear of the naked form, male or female, is a signal of a sexually repressed and unhealthy society. If the simple nudity of Cortana's image is such a problem, then logically you should also find problems with nude sculptures/paintings, etc.
Grayson – good post although your logic is a little flawed. The author of this article did a review of Halo, not "women as portrayed though art" or even "women in gaming". Using the argument that demands silence upon a subject because it isn't broad enough for you (women portrayed in fiction) is sophomoric and a pretty good example of demagoguery. "What? You're against the way women are portrayed in this game? Is it any worse than how women are portrayed in (blah- blah)? Then you should remain silent on the matter until…" Silent until when? Until the article magically becomes about another topic? Until gender equality is the law of the land? I'm sorry you missed the point of the article but please keep the purposeless sense of outrage to yourself until you finally graduate to maturity.
I would have liked to believe that too, Anthony, but when I look at the evolution of her model, that's just not what I see:
She now appears more solid, less holographic. Instead of looking like a computer construct, she now looks considerably more like a naked woman. The biggest differences though are how much they've increased her bust and hips and how the new opaqueness highlights her cleavage and crotch.
I'm all for better technology and visuals, but it's odd to me that the visual direction they've taken is to play up her nakedness, and, as my original comment was really meant to highlight, that Frank would choose to weakly dodge the question instead of just saying, "Yeah, we had to redo the model and the new one is a little more in your face, but that's what we wanted and here's why."
Sorry it took so long to respond Greyson, though I won't apologize for replying at all, despite your insistence that I "should be silent." This is a conversation, not a contest where the one who uses the most CAPS shuts the other up.
I was quite clear on what O'Connor was saying when he provided the lore behind Cortana's appearance. I've been a fan of the Halo series since the first, and I'm acquainted with the ways that AI behave in the fictional universe. My issues are that a good backstory doesn't absolve a creator or their team of responsibility for their depictions, and that O'Connor seemed to be attempting just that by giving only the in-game reasons for Cortana's state of dress instead of the design, art, or marketing reasons behind it.
Try another situation: If a writer crafts a scene where a white character wears blackface, then an actor plays that scene, and a director captures it for inclusion in a film, they cannot expect to dodge the question, "Why did you choose to use blackface in your movie?" by responding, "That's what the character chose to do." It's a cop out. Artists make decisions for their creations, not the other way around.
As for your second paragraph about the broader questions of sexism in media, we will literally never get anywhere if we can't have a discussion about individual problematic cases without tackling the whole affair. That would be like telling the local homeless shelter they weren't allowed to operate their soup kitchen unless they had a plan to feed all hungry people all over the planet. It's also not helpful to sweep away discussions about problematic depictions by pointing out what's worse. Of course there are worse depictions, but that's not what we're talking about. This article is about Cortana and Halo 4; not Black Widow and the new Marvel films, not Hermione Granger and the Harry Potter books, and not Bayonetta in her eponymous games. We can bring those things in as examples or broader talking points, and we should have discussions about broader social issues, but those aren't the focus of this conversation.
On your third point, you're making a lot of assumptions about my assumptions, but the good news is that neither of our assumptions (real or assumed) matter in this case. It is entirely possible for members of a marginalized group to contribute to systems that marginalize them; women artists can create sexist depictions of women. You'll note from my original comments that I'm not trying to string up Frank O'Connor, nor his team, nor the original team at Bungie for their contributions to Cortana's appearance. I think it was weak of Frank to avoid the question, lie about her nakedness, and foist up that old gem, "It's just a game," but I'm not going to demonize him for that. It was one interview. I just expect better and hope he'll be more open and honest in the future, because his dismissive comments completely failed to appease me as a customer.
Also, I'm not seeking to criminalize anything. People can create whatever art they like, but that doesn't insulate them from criticism when what they create is problematic. I want to discuss it, not just opt out, particularly when that piece is part of a greater world that I enjoy. Ignoring troubling art isn't going to make anything better; not the art and not the society that we BOTH consider more important than the art it produces.
Society has big problems; that's just not what we're talking about right now. We're talking about Cortana and how she's depicted in Halo 4, which is small but important, and I don't think the proper response is to be silent.

Tuesday 03 July 2012
Stoke City have announced that midfielder Jamie Ness has agreed personal terms on a move to the Britannia Stadium.
The 21-year-old will switch to the Barclays Premier League after exercising his right to leave Rangers as a free agent.
Ness will complete his transfer to the Potters once the club receive international clearance.
"Jamie is a lad with enormous potential"
- Tony Pulis
"Jamie is a lad with enormous potential who is clearly determined to make the most of this fresh start in the game," Stoke City manager Tony Pulis told the club's official website.
"It's important that we introduce some young blood in strengthening the squad and he certainly fits the bill as someone tipped for a bright future."
Ness made his Rangers debut as a substitute in the 4-1 victory over Motherwell in December 2010.
The Scottish Under-21 international made another 10 league appearances that season, while he scored in the 2-2 Scottish FA Cup draw against Old Firm rivals Celtic.
He made five league appearances last season, scoring his first SPL goal in the 5-0 win against Dundee United in May.

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Time Warner Cable customers could lose channels 18, 24
Scroll down for resolution.
Viewers could again be losers in another battle between media titans.
One readers asks: "I'm a TWC subscriber, and for the last few weeks I see a crawl during those shows saying as a TWC subscriber, I may lose Ch. 18 come the new year. What's up with that? And are there other local channels in danger of being dropped from cable?"
According to a media industry monitoring website called "Stop the Cap," Sinclair Broadcasting and Time Warner Cable are in a scrap over a proposal requiring TWC to pay 20- to 25-cents fee per subscriber to retransmit Sinclair programing. If no agreement is reached Sinclair will pull the stations on Jan. 1.
This would affect 33 stations in 21 cities, including WCGV-TV (Channel 24), which carries MyNetworkTV programing and CW affiliate WVTV-TV (Channel 18), both in Milwaukee.
According to Stop the Cap, a statement on Sinclair's website warns that : "Unfortunately, based on the status of the negotiations Sinclair does not believe we are going to be able to reach agreement on an extension of the deal. As a result, Time Warner would no longer be carrying the stations covered by the agreement with Sinclair beginning on January 1, 2011. Although some might try and characterize this as a dispute, in the end it represents nothing more than the failure of two companies to reach a business agreement, something that happens in the business world thousands of times a day."
According to Stop the Cap, Time Warner Cable has given the dispute top billing on its Roll Over or Get Tough website. "So far, the cable company has rolled over in every dispute, eventually caving to programmer demands," according to Stop the Cap.
This is the latest in the ongoing dispute over cable and satellite companies' retransmission of broadcasters programing. Past disputes involved AT&T vs HGTV and Hallmark, DirecTV and AMC, Dish TV and Fox and Time Warner and Fox.
Follow-up: I incorrectly reported that TWC and Sinclair reached a one year extension. But TWC has announced that customers in markets with Sinclair-owned FOX affiliates will continue to receive a national feed. WVTV and WCGV are still in play.

They will come to an agreement. They always put those trailers on the stations just to make us upset and call Time Warner or whoever.
On the plus side, these are free networks that one can get with a simple antenna! Why pay more?!
For once I could care less either way. Both these stations stink. The only good programs they have are sindicated reruns. The rest is garbage. To me they have no bargaining power with TWC. Their channels are free over antena tv so why should TWC have to pay for them? Sounds rediculous to me. For once I actually side with TWC, may be the first and last also.
If they pull these two stations, I guess I will have to pull Time Warner. I pay good money for TWC and I've already lost GAC (Great American Country). I'm told that Direct TV is a really good deal with a lot more channels for a lot less money. Might be something I'll have to look into.
People watch too much TV. Get rid of cable and save all that cash for
other forms of entertainment.
"People watch too much TV. Get rid of cable and save all that cash for
other forms of entertainment."
When ESPN is free over the air, I'll take you up on it.
I'm no fan of TWC - I dumped them as soon as I possibly could and went to U-Verse. But this is getting ridiculous. Every two bit network and broadcast company are running to the cable providers with their hands out and trying to strong arm them by making the provider look like the bad guy. In this case, these are local affiliates with over the air broadcasts available. Their content is second rate at best. Is TWC paying them anything right now? Like another poster said, it would seem they have little to no bargaining power. Time to draw the line.
Big deal, who watches those channels anyways? Sinclair is stupid
I haven't watched those two stations since the Brewers used to be on them a decade ago.
Who cares, I haven't watched either one in years.
Get rid of them and lower my cable bill.

The reservoirs known as El Casco Lake in San Timoteo Canyon are part of a plan being considered by the Riverside County Regional Park and Open-Space District, and the district's advisory commission will consider a step in the plan at a meeting Thursday in Murrieta.
The fenced reservoirs are just west of the San Timoteo Canyon Schoolhouse and the reservoirs at Fisherman's Retreat.
The commission has 11 members who represent Riverside County's supervisors and their districts, according to the park district's website.
On Thursday, the commission will be asked to approve an memorandum of understanding between the park district and the Riverside Land Conservancy "to work cooperatively to develop and further the concept and ideas for El Casco Regional Park," according to meeting agenda.
The park district and the land conservancy "seek to cooperate, participate and promote the future development of a regional park in the El Casco area of San Timoteo Canyon in Western Riverside County," the memorandum of understanding states.
A pdf copy of the five-page memorandum is attached to this report.
San Timoteo Canyon was once considered part of San Bernardino County, before the formation of Riverside County. Its history includes ties to Redlands and Beaumont, and the area still has a Redlands zip code.
The meeting is scheduled 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday Jan. 10 at the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve visitors center, 39400 Clinton Keith Road, Murrieta, Rob Hicks of the ecological reserve said Wednesday in a phone interview.

Ex-Packers DL Johnny Jolly has been granted an early release from a Texas jail, just six months into his six-year prison sentence for possession of illegal drugs.
According to ABC-13 in Houston, "Jolly applied for 'shock probation,' which allows for certain convicts to be released early on probation after experiencing the shock or trauma of being in jail."
A judge gave Jolly 10 years of the shock probation, along with 200 hours of community service.
Jolly has been suspended from the NFL since 2010 after an arrest for illegal possession of codeine, and he has had multiple parole violations since.
The 29-year-old played four seasons with the Packers from 2006-09. He started all 32 games his last two years in the league.

It's a benefit cut. It's not merely a "technical" change. It's not a "more accurate" measure of inflation.
The "chained CPI" has become one of the linchpins of the debate in Washington over what to do about the cost of Social Security. The idea is to ratchet back the annual cost-of-living adjustment provided to recipients by basing them no longer on the standard consumer price index, but this new creature. Its virtue, supposedly, is that it points to a slower inflation rate than the unchained index, by about .3% a year.

- Health Notes
Multivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMultivitamins May Protect Men Against CancerMen taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overallMany Westerners are concerned that they may not be getting all the nutrients they need everyday for optimal health, which has made multivitamins a popular choice for many people. Study results on multivitamins often conflict, with some showing benefits, and others finding either no benefit or even potential harm. Now, much-anticipated results from a large, randomized, controlled trial of multivitamins have been released, and this one falls on the side of benefit, showing a modest but significant decrease in cancer occurrence for men who take a basic, daily multivitamin.
The ideal study population
Researchers randomly selected 14,641 male physicians to receive a daily multivitamin-mineral supplement or placebo for approximately 11 years. The physicians were 50 years or older, and 9% had a previous history of cancer. Other factors, including age, height and weight, tobacco and alcohol use, diet, other medications, and family history of cancer were similar in the supplement and placebo groups.
The multivitamin provided around 100% of the daily value for most essential vitamins and minerals, with a few exceptions. It contained no iron, and for vitamins E and B12, the multivitamin provided significantly more than 100% of the daily value. For vitamin K, biotin, calcium, magnesium, and chromium, it provided significantly less than 100%. The supplement contained some additional nutrients, including lutein and lycopene.
Moderate multivitamin, less total cancer
Men taking the multivitamin were diagnosed with 8% fewer cancers overall than men in the placebo group.
There were no significant differences between the supplement and placebo groups in terms of specific cancer types, such as prostate and colorectal cancers. There were no significant differences in the risk of death due to cancer between the two groups.
Finding balance
The study multivitamin was similar to "common," moderate-dose products available in any supermarket or pharmacy. Given that past studies have suggested multivitamins may increase cancer risk, these findings are reassuring. However, according to lead study author Dr. J. Michael Gaziano, "It would be a big mistake for people to go out and take a multivitamin instead of quitting smoking or doing other things that we have a higher suspicion play a bigger role, like eating a good diet and getting exercise."
Keep this in mind as you consider our tips on creating your own cancer risk reduction plan:
- Be modest. Steer clear of mega-doses, and follow the American Cancer Society's advice: eat a balanced diet, and if you take a supplement, choose a balanced multivitamin that contains no more than 100% of the daily value of most nutrients.
- Seek the experts. A person's diet may get out of balance for a variety of reasons, such as illness, nutrient depletion or malabsorption caused by a drug, medical condition, food intolerance, or allergy. If this describes you, discuss your diet with your doctor or dietitian to identify specific nutrients that may be missing.
- Consider context. The study population was healthy, older males, most of whom don't smoke, and many of whom eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly. If you smoke, are obese, or have additional risk factors for cancer, heart disease, or other chronic disease, these findings may not apply to you.
- Get bang for your buck. Regardless of whether you take a multivitamin, you can never go wrong by adopting basic cancer prevention strategies: avoid tobacco, drink alcohol modestly or not at all, move regularly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruit, use sunscreen consistently, and maintain a healthy body weight.

About Me
- About machomuu
- Interests
- You know, I had a list here of things that I like, but it just felt like I was filling space. Usually I don't even fill this area in, but what the heck. I like games, gaming is probably my favorite hobby...probably to an unhealthy level, but hey, it's good for the mind.
Anime and manga are a big thing for me, as well, partially because I don't watch television anymore. Nowadays, if I watch something, it's usually because I want to dedicate myself to it, so it's generally a matter of choosing what I want to watch, and anime really makes that easy. Problem is, if it's in Japanese, I have to give it 100% of my attention, and that's part of the reason that I'm trying to learn Japanese.
More than that, though, I've learned about Japan to the extent that I'm actually interested in it. This is mostly due to research projects and the like, as well as being the cause of some curious points I'd see in anime or general miscellany that needed clarification. The idea that there exists a place that exists both as a mish-mash of many different cultures while at the same time heavily influencing the mix with its own unique flare is pretty interesting, and seeing how that same place is both similar to and contrarily dissimilar to my homeland is just fascinating. It doesn't really have any bearing on my fight to learn Japanese, though; that's mostly for the sake of my hobbies.
Apart from that, I'm basically an average nerd. I have a desire to become a video game developer and am really interested in social sciences (Sociology, Philosophy, etc.) and the forces that influence them, such as Psychology. As strange as it may sound, learning how people work is just plain fascinating, and it may because I like analyzing the complex facets of the mundane so much that I take interest in it.
...And I love Touhou Project. Inazuma Eleven and Osu!, too. All for different reasons, but I'd say how invested I am in the aforementioned is enough to be listed here.

"A lush, nearly decadent book, . . . With its vivid art and fun 'guided' style it's a great addition to fantasy collections" —Monster Librarian
What's the difference between a pixie and a nixie? What happens if you nibble on a bite of faerie food? How do you say "good night" in the language of faeries? In this fully illustrated guide, a mischievous pixie named Pip invites readers on an insider's tour of the wonders of the Feywild. Discover the secret entrance of a real faerie home, step inside the workshop of a toy-tinkering brownie, and play a game of stickyball with your newfound faerie friends. Once you've entered faerie land, you may never want to go home again!
SUSAN J. MORRIS is a fantasy book editor based in Washington. Besides reading and writing fantasy books, she has an enduring love for coffee, martial arts, and debate.
Correction: Emily Fiegenschuh is the artist for the cover painting of A Practical Guide to Faeries (www.e-figart.com). We mistakenly credited Eva Widermann instead. This error will be corrected in subsequent editions of the book. For now, our apologies to both artists for the mix-up!

I made this cake the other night - I'm torn between the rating to give, and may remake this cake and adjust the rating based on the second outcome. First up - the only company I'm aware of to make strawberry extract is Watkins - which fortunately I had a brand new bottle and thus why I made this recipe. I scaled the recipe back to make 8 servings and used regular cake tins. I found this cake to be dense and quite heavy which surprised me as the batter was remarkable light/airy and reminded me of a boxed cake mix. I couldn't detect a noticeable strawberry taste either. The cake took on a somewhat muted pink tone that wasn't so detectable after it had been baked, frosted and cut. The recipe didn't suggest the cake be frosted but I used an all butter buttercream frosting and used a dark chocolate drizzle w/ fresh strawberries on top.
I made this cake today and was disappointed. I was expecting more strawberry flavor...it didn't have much flavor to me. My husband liked it though, so I guess it wasn't that bad. I made the vanilla glaze (substituting strawberry extract for vanilla) for it and that was good. I also made mine in a 9X13 pan instead of springform pans and it was done in 30 minutes.

Senate Democrats plan budget debate
Wednesday - 1/23/2013, 11:42am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Incoming Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray says Democrats controlling the chamber will attempt to pass a budget for the first time since 2009.
The Washington Democrat says the measure will call upon the wealthy to pay their "fair share" in taxes and defend programs for senior citizens and middle-class families.
Democrats have come under assault from Republicans for failing to pass budgets, prompting the House to propose withholding pay for either House or Senate members if the chamber in which they serve fails to pass a budget plan. This was an attachment to an unrelated measure to permit the government to borrow money for another three months to meet its obligations.
That measure is set to pass the House Wednesday and Senate Democrats are likely to accept it.

DURHAM — North Carolinas highly touted freshman class just didnt seem to know it wasnt supposed to win in its first trip to Cameron Indoor Stadium.
But the Tar Heels did just that Monday night, and they made it look convincing.
Freshman Diamond DeShields had a season-high 30 points and classmate Allisha Gray added 24 points and 10 rebounds as No. 17 UNC shocked No. 3 Duke 89-78 in ACC womens basketball.
Dukes Elizabeth Williams had a career-high 28 points while Tricia Liston chipped in 20.
The win improved UNC, which snapped a three-game losing streak, to 18-6 overall and 6-4 in the ACC. Duke (22-3, 9-2) has dropped all three of its losses this season at home.
North Carolina never trailed in its first win in Cameron since 2008. The result snapped Dukes seven-game winning streak in the series, which UNC leads 48-39.
Xylina McDaniel added 17 points for UNC.
The Tar Heels, with veteran assistant Andrew Calder directing from the sidelines as coach Sylvia Hatchell undergoes treatment for leukemia, were clearly ready to play despite their recent woes.
I want to thank (Hatchell) again for giving us a tremendous motivational speech, and (UNC womens soccer) Coach Anson Dorrance who spoke to the team yesterday, Calder said. Duke is a very talented basketball team and very well-coached. The Tar Heels worked extremely hard the last few days. We went after them and they responded.
Alexis Jones had 15 points and 10 assists for Duke.
Giving up 89 points at home is really bad, Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said. Defense is something that this team generally wants other people to do. We dont get into defense. Were playing defense to get the ball back on offense, and with the exception of Elizabeth Williams and her blocked shots that are intimidating, were not taking charges Our transition defense has been awful.
North Carolina shot 51.5 percent, // compared with 42.3 percent for the Blue Devils. The Tar Heels won the rebound battle 40-39 and committed 23 turnovers to 20 for Duke.
UNC led 45-36 at halftime, leading by as many as 12 points twice during the stanza. DeShields had 15 points to lead UNC at the break while McDaniel had 12.
Cameron is just historically a tough place to play in, and I didnt expect any less tonight, DeShields said. What I didnt expect was that I didnt really care and it didnt bother me one bit. Im proud of my teammates for having that mental toughness (because) it didnt seem to bother them either.
Williams 16 paced Duke at intermission.
We didnt do a good job taking care of the ball offensively, Williams said. Overall, I think (what mattered) was more our mistakes, in terms of not taking care of the ball, than what they changed defensively.
UNC took a 10-2 lead on a DeShields jumper with 18:07 left in the half, and Duke wasnt closer than four back for the rest of the period.
Following McDaniels 3-pointer with 19:49 to play Duke went on an 11-0 run, cutting the margin to 48-47 on a short Liston jumper with 17:02 to go.
But the Tar Heels responded with an 8-0 run including a three-point play from Gray and a 3-pointer from Latifah Coleman to get their working margin back.
Youve just got to play your game, Gray said. Like Coach Calder says, when you get on the court its just you, 94 feet, a 10-foot rim and (imaginary) glass around the court. Basically, its just you and your teammates.
Duke trimmed the advantage to 63-61 on a pair of Liston free throws at 8:13, but the Tar Heels responded with a 3-pointer from DeShields and another three-point play from Gray. And Duke could get no closer down the stretch.
I dont know if (never leading) should affect us, Liston said. You should be able to have the same defensive focus and energy for 40 minutes or however long youre on the court. This doesnt feel good.
Duke senior guard Chloe Wells missed her sixth straight game with a bruised shin. McCallie said the Apex alumna is out indefinitely.
North Carolina hosts new ACC member Pittsburgh on Thursday night. Dukes next game will be at home Feb. 17 against Maryland.
The rematch is March 2 at UNCs Carmichael Arena in the teams traditional regular-season finale.

Some Slovenian wines
Slovenia is like an eastern extension of Friuli in north east Italy or, as the Slovenians might put it, Friuli is effectively a western extension of Slovenia. And the best wines - generally fragrant, quite full-bodied whites which can age beautifully - are remarkably similar. The many grape varieties grown there are frequently blended. There are basically three wine regions which, confusingly for outsiders, look rather similar words at first glance: Primorje - on the coast (identified as 'C' in my notes) Podravje - up in the north eastern corner of the country just over the border from Austria and not that far from...

Sponsored by GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, the National Day of Silence is a day of action in which students across the country take some form of a vow of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools. Through their activities students can speak out against harassment and organize for change for their schools and communities.
The Day of Silence is a Tool for Change. Organizing a Day of Silence (DOS) activity or event can be a positive tool for change-both personally and community-wide. By taking a vow of silence, you're making a powerful statement about the important issue of anti-LGBT bullying. When you organize others to join you that message becomes louder and louder. You can use this attention as a building block in your plans for larger action. Find out more about the Day of Silence at the links below.
GLSEN is the nation's leading education organization working to assure that each member of every school community is valued and respected regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. GLSEN has been the official sponsor of the National Day of Silence since 2001. Learn more at Lambda Legal, "Under the Constitution, public schools must respect students' right to free speech. The right to speak includes the right not to speak, as well as the right to wear buttons or T-shirts expressing support for a cause."
However, this right to free speech doesn't extend to classroom time. "If a teacher tells a student to answer a question during class, the student generally doesn't have a constitutional right to refuse to answer." We remind participants that students who talk with their teachers ahead of time are more likely to be able to remain silent during class.

Evangelicals and conservative Christians are often the strongest opponents of LGBT acceptance. What if this perspective could change?
Join us for this special two-night event, as we work together to transform the LGBT conversation on USC's campus and back home.
Night One: Transformation on Campus
For the first night, we'll survey Christians across campus to find out what they really think about topics like sexual orientation and same-sex marriage. Then we'll bring them together for a conversation that will open their eyes and change the way they interact with the campus LGBT community.
Night Two: Transformation at Home
In this one-of-a-kind training session, we'll teach you the tips and tricks you need to change minds among the Christians back home—family members, friends, and even churches. We'll give you free DVDs, booklets, and training materials to make it easy, and we'll hook you up with free support and advice as you work to change minds throughout the year.
This event brought to you FREE by the Arcus Foundation and is Cosponsored by the Gay Christian Network and the Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Straight Alliance at the University of South Carolina.

President Obama finally signs DADT off the books
President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen officially signed "Don't Ask Don't Tell" off the books today.
"Today, we have taken the final major step toward ending the discriminatory 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' law that undermines our military readiness and violates American principles of fairness and equality," Obama said in a statement.
The law passed last December and required the President to officially sign off on the repeal. The certification will be followed by a 60 day waiting period, set to end on September 20th.
The following was announced at a briefing held at the Pentagon with the Repeal Implementation Team and the Department's General Counsel, Jeh Johnson:
-Benefits will largely be untouched by the change, since DOMA and other laws restrict the military from recognizing same sex partners. The Department won't be giving service pay for those honorably discharged for being gay.
-Sexual orientation will not affect where soldiers are deployed.
-Prior to the certification, the Service Chiefs and Secretaries were consulted. A Defense official says they "unanimously" reported that their services were ready for the repeal.
-1.79 million servicemembers have gone through training in preparation for the repeal. Under the law passed in December, training does not need to be 100 percent complete prior to the repeal.
-Commanders will be prohibited from physically segregating gay servicemembers.
-Those who were discharged solely for being gay can re-enlist on September 20th.
History of LGBTQ Issues at Carolina
In honor of Ryan Wilson being named President of the Harriet Hancock Center, we decided to dig up some history he compiled while he was a graduate student here at USC.
Compiled by Ryan C. Wilson, M.Ed.
In 1982, Gay Student Association v. University of South Carolina, et al, was filed against the University by the ACLU and several gay students seeking to be recognized as an official student organization. The court required USC to allow the Gay Student Association to meet on campus and be recognized as an official student organization. This decision and the resulting policy changes marked the beginning of a modern era at the University of South Carolina in which Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) students find a growing tolerance and a move toward acceptance on our campus.
The December 5, 2003 The Daily Gamecock reported, "Sexual orientation added to policy" (Fellner, 2003). After 10 years of debate and delay, the Board of Trustees voted to amend the University of South Carolina's official nondiscrimination policy to officially protect Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual students, faculty, and staff at USC from discrimination in any form of educational or employment opportunity (Fellner, 2003). Following on the heels of this policy change, Zachary Scott became the first openly gay man to be elected to the position of Student Government President after serving a year as Vice-President (Ledbetter, 2004).
That same year, the University created a program known as the Safe Zone Ally Project. The January 12, 2004 the Gamecock reported, "Beginning this spring, USC will launch a Safe Zone project on campus in which decals will be placed on the doors of students, faculty and staff who support members of the gay, lesbian, and transgender community" (Ledbetter, 2004).
The Safe Zone Ally Project continues today and is now run out of Student Health Services by a graduate assistant. The 24-hour, on-call staff advocates from the Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention & Prevention office respond to cases of bias incidents and hates crimes targeting LGBT students and provide resources for victims of same-sex relationship violence or sexual assault as part of their work to prevent all types of interpersonal violence.
Annual campaigns such as Homophobia Awareness Week and National Coming Out Day have become regular events on the campus calendar. These dates have been included in the printed Mortar Board calendars and are organized by the BGLSA student organization and Safe Zone Allies. The Birdcage: Gamecock Style, an oncampus drag show and educational event, has become an annual part of the University's Creed Week celebrations (Kapustynska, March 2009). Each year BGLSA students hold the Ms. Gaymecock Pageant, a drag show competition to raise money for the student organization (Fenner, Nov 2008).
The GLBTQ PhotoVoice project, held in the Russell House on April 17, 2008, featured photographs and poetry produced by LGBT students that explained their unique experiences. The presentation of the final work was attended by a number of the senior university administrators, faculty, and students (Carroway, April 2008). The recommendations from the GLBTQ PhotoVoice are included in this report.
Following the GLBTQ PhotoVoice project, several of the participants conducted follow-up focus groups, in conjunction with students & staff from the Arnold School of Public Health & the College of Social Work. Faculty, staff, and students candidly shared their experiences and impressions of life at Carolina. In Spring 2008, graduate students Clint Neill and Ryan Wilson (with the authorization Dr. Pruitt, Vice President for Student Affairs) conducted comprehensive Best Practices research, attended conferences on LGBT Student Resources, and completed the LGBT Campus Climate Index in 2008 and updated the index in 2009.

Senate schedules "Defense of Marriage Amendment" hearing
The Senate scheduled its first hearing July 20 at 10:00 a.m. on the Defense of Marriage Act in hopes that legislation will be repealed Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Patrick Leahy announced Tuesday.
"It's time for Congress to end this gay exception and allow legally married same-sex couples access to the tools and security available to all other couples to build a life together and protect their families," Freedom to Marry national campaign director Marc Solomon said in a statement Tuesday.
The hearing subtitled, "Assessing the Impact of DOMA on American Families," is investigating the detrimental and discriminatory effects DOMA has on gay and lesbian families.
Richland County Passes Non-Discrimination Ordinance
Last month County Council unanimously decided to pass an ordinance making it illegal to discriminate in public accommodations and housing.
Sponsored by freshman Councilman Seth Rose, the ordinance protects individuals from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, familial status, disability or sexual orientation and establishes a fine of $500 for offenders.
"Both these efforts to eliminate discrimination in Richland County represent a giant step forward in our policies," Councilman Seth Rose said in a release. "I commend my colleagues for joining me in taking a stand against discrimination and proclaiming that regardless of shape or form, discrimination is not welcome in our County."
This policy follows another three months ago when the council amended their personnel policy to provide discrimination protection in employment based upon sexual orientation and gender identity.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.
