La Vie en Rose (La môme)
Description: From the slums of Paris to the limelight of New York, Edith Piaf's life was a battle to sing and survive, live and love. Raised in poverty, Edith's magical voice and her passionate romances and friendships with the greatest names of the period--Yves Montand, Jean Cocteau, Charles Aznavour, Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Cerdan and others--made her a star all around the world. But in her audacious attempt to tame her tragic destiny, the Little Sparrow--her nickname--flew so high she could not fail to burn her wings.

Hmm, a new home for Hughes? Any chance an MLB team is moving to the grand canyon? About the only park that can contain him.
Trade deadline spotlight: pitcher roundup
With a bit more than 48 hours to go before the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline (it's at 4 PM Eastern Daylight Time), Monday saw the consummation of a pair of deals involving relievers. The Astros sent closer Jose Veras to the Tigers to fill a setup role while Joaquin Benoit continues closing, while the Braves filled the void left by the losses of lefties Eric O'Flaherty and Jonny Venters by acquiring Scott Downs from the Angels.
While there may not be any blockbusters in store, there are almost certainly more deals to come over the next two days. What follows is a quick rundown on a dozen pitchers who have been among the most discussed as trade targets in recent days. They're not all guaranteed to move, but expect a good deal of the activity to center around them.
Starting Pitchers
Phil Hughes, Yankees
A pending free agent at the end of the year, Hughes has been the subject of intermittent rumors, particularly as the team seeks a bat to fill the void left by Mark Teixeira's loss and other injuries. Alas, the combination of the 27-year-old righty's inconsistency and homer-prone ways (1.6 HR/9) as well as the recent struggles of CC Sabatha and Andy Pettitte means the Yankees can ill afford to move him.
Cliff Lee, Phiillies
While the Phillies are listening with regards to some trades, they're not marketing Lee aggressively. The stiff neck that scratched him from his most recent start could be a problem for teams looking to ensure that the going-on-35-year-old lefty is healthy, particularly given that he has more than $70 million remaining on his contract including the buyout of his 2016 option; the Phillies are said to be asking for three or four top prospects and unwilling to absorb any of that salary. If that's not enough of an obstacle, Lee also has a limited no-trade clause that allows him to block deals to up to 21 teams, so don't expect him to be moved.
Bud Norris, Astros
The A's and Braves have been most recently connected to him, with teams such as the Orioles, Pirates, Rangers and Red Sox among those who have expressed interest as well. He's hardly an ace (a career 4.33 ERA offsetting his 8.4 strikeouts per nine), but he's inexpensive, making $3 million this year, with two more years of club control. Some teams believe the Astros are merely setting up a market for him this winter.
Jake Peavy, White Sox
The White Sox are said to be asking for more than the Cubs got for Matt Garza, seeking top prospects such as the Red Sox Xander Bogaerts and the A's Addison Russell, and unwilling to absorb any of the $24 million he has remaining on his deal through next year. At that price, he's not getting moved, particularly given his lack of durability. Even so, other teams such as the Braves, Orioles, Cardinals and Dodgers remain interested as well.
Ervin Santana, Royals
The Royals are said to be seeking major league-ready talent if they move the 30-year-old righty. No teams have been directly connected to him, so he may be a fallback for a team that doesn't land Jake Peavy. Atlanta may be a sensible fit, but the Braves are said to be more focused on relief pitching.
Joe Saunders, Mariners
The 32-year-old lefty is no stranger to midsummer trades, having been dealt in 2010 and 2012. He's currently carrying a 4.48 ERA while striking out just 5.2 per nine, so he's not much more than back-rotation help or a consolation prize for teams falling short of higher-end targets. Even so, he's an inexpensive innings-eater with around $3 million remaining this year. The Orioles might be interested in reacquiring him, and other teams will surely emerge if he's truly available.
Relief Pitchers
John Axford, Brewers
After trading Francisco Rodriguez, general manager Doug Melvin said that he wasn't shopping Axford or anyone else, an inventory that also includes starter Yovani Gallardo and fellow reliever Jim Henderson. The Dodgers are among the teams who have expressed interest in Axford, who's been too homer-prone (1.4 HR/9, not to mention 3.5 BB/9) to regain the closer's job he surrendered last year.
Jesse Crain, White Sox
Though he's been on the disabled list due to shoulder soreness for a month and experienced a setback last week, Crain recently had a bullpen session scouted by the Braves, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Red Sox and Reds. On Monday, ESPN Chicago's Bruce Levine reported that the White Sox were close to sending him out in a "complicated" three-way deal involving the Rays and one other team, but Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan said via Twitter that the deal isn't as close as reported, with other teams interested as well. Update: Crain has been traded to the Rays.
Luke Gregerson, Padres
Making $3.2 million with one more year of arbitration eligibility remaining, Gregerson is drawing more calls than the higher-priced Huston Street. The Tigers have been among the teams expressing interest, but Monday's acquisition of Jose Veras may supersede that.
Javier Lopez, Giants
As lefty specialists go, the 36-year-old Lopez is a very good one who's been part of three World Series winners with the Red Sox and Giants. This year, he's got a 1.42 ERA while striking out 9.6 per nine in 25 1/3 innings. He's held lefties to a .215/.299/.305 line in his career, and has been even better (.172/.232/.234 in 71 PA) this year, with numbers along those lines going back to 2010. He's vulnerable against righties (.301/.387/.423), but even so, Bruce Bochy has used him as an occasional closer; he had seven saves last year. It's not clear who's targeting him, but the Giants are listening.
Joe Nathan, Rangers
With Joakim Soria back from Tommy John surgery and Neftali Feliz working his way back as well, the Rangers are said to be mulling the prospect of trading the 38-year-old Nathan in order to secure offensive help. Despite his advanced age, he's been strong this year, with 32 saves in 34 attempts, a 1.73 ERA and 9.5 strikeouts per nine — numbers that instantly make him the top closer on the market if indeed he's available. He's owed about $2.5 million for the remainder of the year, with a $9 million option for next year that he can void if he finishes 55 games; he's 16 away from that number.
Jonathan Papelbon, Phillies
Papelbon still has more than $30 million remaining on his deal through 2015, and while Ruben Amaro Jr. has sounded disinclined to deal him, the 32-year-old closer sounds like he'd rather be elsewhere, telling MLB.com's Todd Zolecki, "I definitely didn't come here for this," in reference to the team's eight-game losing streak. With the Tigers acquiring Veras, their interest may have cooled, and a return to Boston is probably more than a longshot given his age, remaining salary, and declining strikeout rate.

MONTREAL - Red Bull driver Mark Webber says he is no cheater.
Rival teams that complained the Red Bull cars of Webber and two-time defending Formula One champion Sebastian Vettel had an unfair advantage got their wish June 1 when the sports' governing body FIA issued a directive banning cars from having a hole in the floor.
The ruling takes effect at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
Red Bull has won two of the last three races, including Webber's win two weeks ago in Monaco, with a rectangular hole in front of the rear wheels that was seen as an aerodynamic advantage.
Webber said the team did nothing illegal.
"In relation to winning races with an illegal car, I'm happy to be called lots of things and I'm happy to have criticism about my driving and lots of stuff, but I will not take criticism in that respect," the Australian driver said.
"In fact it completely (made me angry) because the car passed every single technical regulation after the race. All of the teams that were against it did not make any protest after Monaco. The car passed the test after Bahrain and Monaco. Now there's been a clarification on the rule.
"Now the rule has been changed so we'll start again, and we're looking forward to it."
He said the team planned to remove the hole for the next race in Valencia, Spain on June 25 anyway. And he doesn't expect it to hamper the team's performance.
"We're very optimistic the change won't make much difference at all," he said.
Not so high flyer: Webber spent Wednesday doing a simulation of skydiving at a Montreal wind tunnel with Red Bull Air Force diver Jon DeVore.
"It was in a wind tunnel, so it obviously wasn't real skydiving," Webber said. "I don't know if I've got the bug to jump out of planes, to be honest, but I enjoyed it."

As we are moving into a media centric world, video editing features is growing in importance. Collabora provides a set of core technologies which aims to address this need, in the form of GStreamer Editing Services (GES) and PiTiVi.
What is GStreamer Editing Services
The "GStreamer Editing Services" (GES) is a software library to simplify the creation of multimedia editing applications. Based on the GStreamer multimedia framework and the GNonLin set of plugins, its goals are to suit all types of editing-related applications. The GStreamer Editing Services was created by Collabora engineer Edward Hervey, building upon his experience with developing on various embedded platforms and the development of the PiTiVi desktop video editor.
How can the GStreamer Editing Services help your product?
Consumers are growing to expect that phones, tablets and other handheld devices will ship with basic video editing functionality. With the use of GES, manufacturers can quickly and easily add support for such features on their devices. Our editing libraries aims towards low CPU overhead and as minimal loss of quality through lossless editing.
The GStreamer Editing Services are a C based library, built on top of GStreamer and the gnonlin plugins, with an API making it very easy to build a graphical user interface on top of it. So far we have worked user interfaces for the GStreamer Editing Services using HTML5, Android, Qt (QML) and GTK+ toolkits.
Collabora has been demonstrating our touch based mobile editing solutions at various trade shows and conferences around the world and look forward to talking with even more device makers about how these tools can help improve their products going forward.
How can Collabora help you with GStreamer Editing Services?
Our experienced engineers can quickly help you incorporate the GStreamer Editing Services into your product. Being the main developers of both GStreamer and the GStreamer Editing Services, combined with a very long track record of embedded development and hardware codecs, we are uniquely positioned to help enable GStreamer Editing Services on your device.

More Information
Collabora has made a simple video editor in HTML5 with a touch screen interface as a showcase of the potential of combining HTML5, WebKit and GStreamer Editing Services. The video below shows you this editor in action.
What is PiTiVi
PiTiVi is an open source desktop video editing application aimed at the Linux desktop. Built on top of the GStreamer multimedia framework it aims at becoming the leading video editing application for the linux desktop. It also functions as a catalyst for pushing GStreamer forward as a framework for doing editing applications in general.
PiTiVi Development History
Edward Hervey started the PiTiVi project in 2004, with the goal of creating an easy-to-use open source video editor. In 2007, Collabora announced its Multimedia division, set up by leading open source multimedia experts, including Edward Hervey. Edward continues to maintain PiTiVi, with active contributions from a long list of developers inside and outside Collabora. PiTiVi is being shipped by more and more Linux distributions as their primary video editing tool.
Thanks to GStreamer and Collabora, PiTiVi was the first open source video editor to add full support for the SMPTE standardized MXF container format, essential for integrating into the workflow of professional content companies. PiTiVi also supports the VC-2 and VC-3 codecs, which aims to be used for close to lossless storage of digital content and editing processes.
How can Collabora help you with PiTiVi?
If you are interested in incorporating PiTiVi into your content production workflow on the desktop or on server systems, and are interested to learn how we can assist you, please get in touch with us, you find all relevant information on our contacts page.

Developer biography
Edward Hervey
Edward Hervey founded PiTiVi during his final year at the EPITECH engineering school in Paris.

Hump behind the shoulders is a lump of fat on the back of the neck.
Buffalo hump; Dorsocervical fat pad
A hump behind the shoulders by itself is not a sign of any one, specific condition. The doctor must consider this along with other symptoms and test results.
may cause a curvature of the spine in the neck called kyphoscoliosis
. This causes an abnormal shape but does not by itself cause excessive fat in the back of the neck.
If the hump is caused by a certain medicine, your doctor may tell you to stop taking the drug or change your dosage. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor.
Diet and exercise can help you to lose weight and may relieve some humps due to extreme obesity.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have an unexplained hump behind the shoulders.
Your doctor will perform a physical examination
and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms. Questions may include:
Diagnostic tests that may be performed include:
Treatment will be aimed at the problem that caused the fat to develop in the first place.

does this info mean we do not need to testpoint for flashing patched bootloader to allow us to upgrade with patched baseband?
Every time you Can Has, God kills a LOLcat.
dont think so.
As before the testpoint came before the sw unlock, now it is obvious that the testpoint procedure will not be necessary anymore and the sw unlock is already available but not released yet to the "grand" public ... see dev teams blog
I dont think so...
At least, STOP thinking in SW unlock. As geohot says, he doesnt know exploits or smth in the new bootloader.
We should think in TP method 1st
Testpoint means writing modified bootloader to the ROM. iBoot exploit perhaps can softflash the bootloader (without testpoint).
Every time you Can Has, God kills a LOLcat.
The only reason that Pwnage != Unlock is because the iBoot is on a totally seperate chip! It really has no control at all of what goes on the S-Gold3 chip. The iBoot has been exploited for Pwnage, but since the S-Gold is a completely seperate chip, that also needs to be 'pwned', or as the devteam calls it, 'neutered'. 'Pwning' the S-Gold is going to be a whole nother ballgame here.

"If you're going to be on the high-tech side, you just have to be committed to turning on a dime."
Founded in 1970, Cleveland-based Conferon Inc. was the country's first independent meeting planning firm. The company now has close to 500 clients, booking as many as 1.5 million room nights annually. It is the single largest customer for numerous hotel chains, including Marriott, Hyatt, Starwood, and Hilton. We talked with Conferon founder, president, and CEO Bruce Harris, CMP, to get his take on the state of the industry and his company's growth strategy.
Technology Meetings: What is Conferon's client focus?
Bruce Harris: Before our last acquisition [of Boston-based Cramer Events Management], our business mix was around 80 percent associations, 20 percent corporate. Our focus now is to move that mix to 60/40 association/corporate. Cramer fit a couple of things. We were looking for an organization with a strong value system, that was on the East Coast, and that had strengths in certain areas, one of which was high tech. Ninety-plus percent of Cramer's clients were tech. Now our portfolio is 29 [percent] to 30 percent tech business.
TM: Besides corporate business, what are other areas of expansion for the company?
BH: We have every intention of making an alliance or acquisition on the international side, first in Europe and the Far East, where a lot of high-tech meetings are being hosted. Technology knows no boundaries. We want to make sure we have a presence and that we continue the same level of service as we have in North America. On the trade show side, frankly, we didn't have the level of expertise that corresponded with what we were doing on the meeting planning side. So we made an alliance with Corcoran Expositions out of Chicago. We co-own events with them through Corcoran Conferon Expositions. We've grown that business tremendously.
TM: Did high tech have a particular allure for you?
BH: We think that some of the things we do can help technology companies become more effective. They need speed. If I decide I'm going to roll something out and my lead time is three months, that means I've got to get the marketing information out right away. When you book short-run meetings, the battle right away is getting to people before they have a conflict. One of the things that helps us is that we have our own planning department, so when we need, for example, Web sites designed and changed, we can do it internally. If you're going to be on the high-tech side, you just have to be committed to turning on a dime. You have to find and negotiate a hotel overnight. It's key to have enough people and resources.
TM: What affect do you see the economy having on corporate and tech company meetings?
BH: Internal incentive awards may go away in a down economy, but you can't get rid of the ones for your distributors. You can't promise them that they're going to get a reward and then not give it. Here's the reality: Corporate sales and training meetings are an expense. The majority of cancellations in any downturn will come from the corporate side. Corporate meetings may change their nature. They still need to get people together, so they'll spend less on the frills, especially with their own people. They'll make the meetings shorter.
TM: What about user group meetings?
BH: I think that the world where I can charge a large amount of money to have you come learn about my product may, over time, evolve into a model that's more like the pharmaceutical model, where you pay for the food and beverage, whatever it is, to get people to come. It hasn't changed yet, but I think that's possible, it's out on the horizon, because users are getting bombarded with opportunities.
TM: How important is the Internet in your overall strategy, and how does the alliance with Plansoft — which you co-founded in 1991 — fit into that plan?
BH: We need to be able to transmit every function we do via the Web. We're about two-thirds of the way there right now. It's been about a two-year project, but we believe that's where we have to be to be able to provide solutions for our clients.
Plansoft's [facility] database on Mpoint is second to none. They even have more information on some hotels than the hotels have on their own sites. We'll be able to do all our searches in our company through Plansoft and then integrate that information into our own IS systems. What we're also doing is working on Mpoint's MMS system — meeting management solution. This is something new in the industry, and it's very, very hot. The whole concept is this: If you can aggregate all the information on what you're spending on meetings, you'll have a better idea of what your total buying volume is, and then have more power when you negotiate with hotels.
Bruce Harris: Personal Stats
Education: Government major, economics, Lake Forest (Ill.) College
Outside Interests: Tennis, softball, learning to play golf, big Cleveland Indians fan: "I'm a sports nut"
Family: Married to wife, Barb, for 26 years; three children, Matt, Megan, and Brent
How He Got into the Biz: " I kind of fell into it like everybody else. I thought I was going to be a hotel rep and have a company that sold hotel space. What I found out was that there was a real lack of understanding between the meeting planner and what the hotel's needs were and vice versa."

Side-Draped Fit & Flare Gown with Applique Detail Style WG3032 108 110
LOVE This Dress! When I went dress shopping I had saved some 15+ dresses online and they only had one in the store. I ordered one gown through the store without trying it on and actually decided to return it. Then I ordered THIS dress online (without trying it on). When it arrived, it was love at first sight and it fit! Yes, the material is not of the most expensive quality and makes swishing noises when you walk, but to me it was perfect. All I had to do was have it hemmed and a three bustle points put in. Love the slight mermaid fit and the corset back���makes it fit like a glove. The beading adds just the right amount of pop, the ruching hides imperfections and the side drape is flattering. My (now) husband hadn���t seen the dress and when I walked down the aisle, I could tell he was amazed. He confirmed it with words afterward that it was the perfect pick! October 31, 2013
Shower Curtain This was really the only dress that I for sure knew I wanted to try on when I went dress shopping. I tried on a few before I tried this one on, and once I put it on I just knew it wasn't it. The material is cheap...just imagine wearing a vinyl shower curtain. That's exactly what it sounds and feels like. The dress I ended up getting was the same price, similar style, and made with way better material. Would not recommend this! September 2, 2013
I loved my wedding dress fit like a glove. just needed it shorten a little because I'm 5'3". August 29, 2013
AMAZING!!! This was the first dress I tried on. This was the first dress I found online that I loved!! When I went to try on dresses I had several picked out but ultimately fell in love with this one. This dress fits amazing, LOVE LOVE LOVE the fitted torso then flares at the bottom!!!! :) Can't wait for my wedding and to see the look on my Fiances face when I walk down the aisle! August 22, 2013

text: Janell Baum Archives Email Author Farm Show Frenzy, Resistant Weeds and Ag Exports 7 things you might have missed this week Published on: Sep 6, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Need to catch up? Here are some stories you might have missed this week. 1. Bayer working ahead on weed resistance: At the company's annual press conference this week in Monheim, Germany, Bayer CropScience's CEO Liam Condon said growing weed resistance issues will continue to be a "huge issue" for farmers today. 2. USDA says revamped meat inspection plan is still a go. After the Government Accountability Office's release of an audit that found potential issues with the USDA's plan to change poultry inspections – part of which increases line speeds – the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service disagreed with the findings, noting that not all facts were presented fully.Farm Show Frenzy, Resistant Weeds and Ag Exports: 7 Things You Might Have Missed This Week 3. 2014 farm exports expected to remain strong. Though not as high as projected fiscal year 2013 exports, FY14 farm exports are still expected to remain strong, reaching $135 billion. 4. Food insecurity in America unchanged since 2008. According to a new USDA Economic Research Service report, food insecurity in America is as prevalent now as it was in 2008, with 14.5% of households classified as such. In addition, 5.7% of U.S. households had "very low" food security last year. 5. Finally – a reason to like Congress. Farm Futures' Mike Wilson takes a look at the crop insurance program and explains why he believes it can be classified as "one of the government's best success stories." 6. Beef posts gains and losses in tough economy. Although price remains the first concern of beef-eating consumers, healthfulness and convenience continue changing consumer behavior, too, according to the latest Beef Board research study. 7. Can't get enough farm shows? Farm shows are an opportunity to showcase the latest and greatest – and farmers get that. That's why Farm Progress has another opportunity to whet the appetites of innovation-seekers at Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Neb., next week. Here's a look at what you can see and do at HHD. (And in case you missed it, check out a few notable items from last week's Farm Progress Show.) And your bonus: Gallup poll shows favorable view of ag. A recent Gallup poll shows Americans' views of agriculture and farming are improving, based on a change in net positive rating from 2012 to 2013. The overall rating increased ten points from 32 to 42. As always, keep up throughout the week with daily ag news and markets updates by visiting us on Twitter or Facebook.

Hi Everyone: This Ontario gal has the flu-(or something like it!) The weather here has been fabulous 21 degrees, warm and alot of sunshine! Which inturn adds to feelings of well being! Well come Saturday, the temperatures dropped and as of Tues. morning we have a blanket of snow on everything. I started feeling very tired and achy on Saturday. I still went to the gym and did my cardio workout. I sweated like a",beast" and I hit my 10! I was feeling in need of comfort so I had my free day of eating on Saturday instead of my usual Sunday. Eating was a comfort to me, and I just laid around and watched movies and slept alot!! I resumed proper eating and drinking on Sunday-yet I was gym free for this day--I slept all day long! I was freezing, then boiling and I was very greatful for this free day from exercise. Come Monday, I still wasn't feeling well but it was the beginning of week #4 for me so I pushed myself through my LBWO and I forced myself to hit my 10!! Eating and drinking was challenging because I slept most of the day away-again-but I didn't cheat at all! I could have drank more water though!! Today is Tuesday, and it's now 4 days of feeling ill. I forced myself again to get to the gym and my cardio was really challenging. I literally held onto the treadmill and let the machine work me! I still hit my 10! and I was jogging full force! I'm sweating this flu out of my system!!! I am writing you guys as my way to stay accountable to myself and to let you know I learned 2 very important things about myself during this time of un-wellness.1) It's very easy to get knocked off a positive journey-whether it be illness or some other adversity-and sticking to the BFL plan has it's challenges but persevering through them creates inner strength! 2) I realized how much I have used food as a comfort for me during my sickness but more so during my healing from my divorce. I ate anything I wanted on Saturday and it was a comfort to me while I felt sick. But while I was healing from my divorce I used food for comfort, companionship and self medication. Putting on the pounds was a way for me to stay insulated from hurt(by a man). As I was comforting myself on Saturday I was also thinking about how hard I've worked these last 3 weeks, and how much improvements I have been making. So I stopped the comfort eating and just went to bed-knowing Sunday I'd force myself back into the program (if necessary!) I didn't have to!! I love this feeling of strength and vitality that is blossoming out of me!! I'll be damned to return to that 33 percent body fat woman that started back on April 9th. I got out my goals and re-read them and I invisioned myself at 10 percent body fat-Wow!! That's enough to keep me on track!! Thanks for listening to me--staying accountable is everything to me. These are just-- Lessons I'm learning on this journey!! Tomorrow's a new day!!!
Hang in there Annie and Keep Moving Forward, we all know that you have it within you to succeed!!!
Hi WPBill: Thanks for the pep talk! I'm feeling much better today and I hit my 10 in my UBWO. My arms feel rubbery yet great! I am so greatful for these blogs! Have a great day!

Handouts to the Homeless: Do you Pitch in or Pass by Panhandlers?
NEW YORK (MainStreet) A "Keep the Change" program in the Seattle suburbs of Arlington and Marysville is encouraging citizens to walk away from persistent panhandlers. Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring says it is an effort to curb complaints and stem safety concerns.
"There are places to give the money where it will truly help the needy," Nehring told reporter Rikki King of the Everett Herald. "What we're trying to do is essentially stop the subsidization of the drug and alcohol habits for some of these folks who stand out there."
The mayor claims the panhandlers are making up to $90 a day begging for change while standing just a short distance away from the local food bank. Panhandlers are a common sight in cities across the nation, especially during the holidays. With begging burgeoning on city streets, freeway ramps and busy intersections, municipalities are working to strike a balance between public safety and compassion.
The U.S. Department of Justice published a guide for police in dealing with panhandling and says that contrary to common belief, panhandlers and homeless people are not necessarily one and the same.
"Many studies have found that only a small percentage of homeless people panhandle, and only a small percentage of panhandlers are homeless," the report states. "Most studies conclude that panhandlers make rational economic choicesthat is, they look to make money in the most efficient way possible. Panhandlers develop their 'sales pitches,' and sometimes compete with one another for the rights to a particular sales pitch. Their sales pitches are usually, though not always, fraudulent in some respect."
However, a recent survey of panhandlers in downtown San Francisco revealed that the typical street beggar was a disabled middle-aged single minority male making less than $25 per day, panhandling seven days a week for more than five years. The study said 82% were homeless and 94% used the money they raised for food.
The Coalition for the Homeless says there were 52,400 homeless people sleeping each night in the New York City municipal shelter system as of September, 2013 an all time high that included 22,100 children.
While the debate continues on whether a donation to a street beggar is wise or not, city governments, businesses and law enforcement are all struggling to meet the challenges of a growing street population.

Product Details
Keep your waxed coats well waterproofed with Barbour's specialty dressing (it's the very same easy-to-apply formula the brand uses in its own factory). Ideal for spot-treating elbows, shoulders and other areas prone to wear, each tin can treat two entire jackets or a full-length coat. It's also a lot more convenient (and cost effective) than professional reproofing. With regular use, your garment will keep you dry while looking good as new.

Isabella Fyvie Mayo (December 10, 1843 – May 13, 1914) was a Scottish poet, and novelist who also wrote under the pen name Edward Garrett.
- For honesty is before honor; and though man must write his poems in sounding words, God's poems are printed best in the brave and silent duties of common life.
- Reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 388.

Silver: No plans for Seattle expansion in near future
Updated On: Feb 12 2014 04:45:43 PM CST
Less than a year after Seattle failed in its bid to bring the Sacramento Kings to the Pacific Northwest, new NBA commissioner Adam Silver indicated this week that the league has no immediate plans to expand there.
"Seattle is a wonderful market. It would be very additive to the league to have a team there," Silver told ESPN. "But we're not planning on expanding right now, so it's not a function of price."
Diluting the NBA talent pool appears to be one of the concerns for Silver regarding expansion from the current 30 teams.
"I, and the owners, will look at not only dilution of economic opportunities with one more partner to divide national and international money but also dilution of talent," Silver said. "Right now, are already making comments about the (Eastern Conference), so is the ideal time to be adding another 15 or 30 players to the league?
"Ultimately, I'm responsible for the financial and competitive health of a 30-team league and while we made tremendous strides in the last collective bargaining agreement, we're still not there yet. We don't have 30 profitable teams in the NBA and while we've made progress, there are still teams that aren't competitive enough."
That does not mean Seattle will never land another team. The city lost the Sonics' franchise to Oklahoma City after the 2008 season.
"(The Kings decision) should not have been received as a no to Seattle," Silver said. "There's no doubt if we were prepared to expand to Seattle right now, we'd get an enormous price for the franchise."

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
If you need a printer that does more than print, you can either shell out thousands for a multifunction laser model, or a fraction of that for an inkjet. We've rounded up the best printers we've reviewed in 2011 so far.
HP's Web-enabled applications platform doesn't offer much in the way of extra value for business users at the moment, but as a medium-volume document printer the HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus is a good choice nonetheless. This inkjet multifunction printer is also able to print high quality A4 photos, albeit slowly.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

International law is in the midst of a profound revision. Traditional theories are being challenged by more contemporary approaches, many of them drawn for the social sciences. This seminar will examine the work of political scientists and legal scholars to see how they inform fundamental questions in international law. Why do states enter into international agreements? Why do they create international organizations? When do states comply with international obligations? What kind of state conduct is more (or less) likely to be influenced by international law? To address these questions, we will look both to diverse theoretical perspectives, and to concrete empirical applications from issue areas such as trade, human rights, the environment and security.

Tempting Mr. Wright
Chasing Rainbow
Letting Loose
Next Stop, Paradise
Tempting Mr. Wright
Richard Wesley III (Rich) is Mary Todd's lawyer and friend. He is trying to defend her in court against her money-grubbing nephew, Linus Todd, who is trying to have Mary declared incompetent. Rich's biggest challenge is that Mary refuses to testify on her own behalf and has made sure that most of her friends do not know about the hearing. Because of the stunt Mary engineered in the previous book involving a bombing raid on Paradise Beach, the judge declares her incompetent and gives her greedy nephew control of her extensive assets.
Erin Kelly is one of the few friends Mary allows to attend the hearing. She is furious that Mary loses and blames it all on Rich. She decides that she has to do something as sneaky as her mentor, Mary, would do because Erin does not really think Rich can handle it. Since Linus wants to sell Mary's prime beachfront land to a developer, Erin convinces an actor friend to visit the town and portray a mob-type character interested in developing the land. Her hope is that news of possible mob interest in the island will interfere with Linus' plans, giving her time to get Mary out of her depression. Naturally, the plan snowballs into trouble very quickly.
Erin comes across as a real shrew from the start. She tears into Rich after the hearing and again the next time she sees him. She is attracted to him, but blows hot and cold about a relationship. Her yes-no, yes-no responses to him are based on past disappointments that are vaguely described and put her in the "wronged before, don't trust men" model.
Rich is the only character I actually liked. He cares for Mary and is a lawyer who believes in what he does. He thinks that Erin is beautiful and magnificent when she is in a temper and lets her attacks go right over his head. His sense of humor and fun add to his attractiveness.
Their big love scene is pretty hot, but odd. It starts out with altered Dr. Seuss rhymes and proceeds through a number of pirate references. Most of the language is overblown and silly.
Several characters from the previous books appear including the loudly dressed mayor, Mary's long-time suitor, Ted, and Colonel Albermarle's House Guards. New oddballs appear including Erin's vampish younger sister (who has her own romance) and Pete, a man from Mary's far past. We do learn more about Mary's past through a conversation between Mary and Pete.
Several scenes could have easily been excluded. One in particular involves a group of local men discussing the possible mob infiltration of the town. It contains far too much information about how chilidogs and beer affect the men's digestive systems. I believe that it was meant to be funny but instead it was nauseating.
I've read all of the previous Paradise Beach stories. The earlier ones were enjoyable, funny stories about a quirky town with people who seem to care about each other. It is now time to stop visiting because the current portrayal of the town describes it as a place where gossip is so rampant and swift that everyone lives under a microscope. The island is just not fun any more.

Range savings: $460,000
By Max Hrenda
Less than a week after closing Range Elementary, the Carter County Board of Education continued to discuss ways to address its budget shortage.
On Wednesday, County Finance Director Ingrid Deloach and Director of Schools Kevin Ward presented board members with the state of the county's budget during a workshop.
Outside of the Range closing, Ward and Deloach created almost $498,500 in cuts from the previous year's budget. Although the Range closing added nearly $459,644 in additional cuts, a budget shortage of $37,856 still remains.
Despite the shortage, Ward said he was optimistic the budget would be balanced in time for the new fiscal year.
"We feel very confident that we can make up that difference," Ward said.

Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - An official says a panda that gave birth to a cub at Washington's National Zoo has also given birth to a stillborn cub.
Zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson says Mei Xiang gave birth to the motionless cub Saturday night and groomed it for 17 minutes before letting it fall to the floor. She says the cub wasn't fully formed and was never alive.
Mei gave birth to a live cub on Friday that zoo workers are cautiously optimistic is healthy.
Baker-Masson says Mei still hasn't allowed staffers to get their first close look at her live cub but they could hear the newborn squealing and it appears to be doing well.
A necropsy is being performed on the stillborn cub.

In shows like Dexter, Sons of Anarchy, the Sopranos, and a number of others, the line between good guy and bad guy is blurred which I like, because you have your main character doing bad guy things but he's still a nice go so you like him. Game of Thrones has than in part too, for example I'm reading the books now and even though I hate Littlefinger I have to admit there are a couple things he does that just makes me smile, he's evil but he's being evil to evil people so it's okay. I'll still never forgive him for Ned mind you.
