Adam and evolution
I could be wrong, but there seems to have been more discussion recently amongst Christians within the evangelical church about how to fit Adam and Eve into an evolutionary framework. I think the historical progression of thought has been something like this:
- Of course, Adam and Eve were specially created by God, and were the biological progenitors of the entire human race.
- Hold on, that doesn't seem to fit with the scientific evidence. But anyway, aren't we being a bit too literalistic with Genesis? Maybe they weren't historical individuals, but rather a metaphor for the entire human race, for example?
- I'm not sure about that—if they weren't historical individuals, then does the Christian doctrine of the Fall really make sense? (E.g., Henri Blocher)
- Fair point, so it seems they were historical individuals. But perhaps they were not actually the biological progenitors of the entire human race? Could they not have been just two members of a long-established population of human beings, but those to whom God chose to reveal himself in a special way? (E.g., Denis Alexander)
- But how then are we to understand the nature of the connection between Adam and the rest of humanity? And what does this do to the traditional Christian understanding of sin and death? Does Jesus death on the cross still make sense? (E.g., Steve Lloyd, Michael Reeves)
- To be continued...
What prompted me to write this was reading the chapter by Michael Reeves, which has been recently been published online at Reformation21. He raises some issues that I hope will be addressed before long (if they haven't already been addressed elsewhere). Also, Steve Lloyd presented some of his arguments at a debate held at my church on Saturday (MP3 available)—watch this space for a report...
But in the meantime, over to you...

Ariana Grande
Chris Brown and Ariana Grande's "Don't Be Gone Too Long" — See the Dance Teaser! (VIDEO)
For over a month, we've been left anxiously awaiting the release of "Don't Be Gone Too Long," Ariana Grande's collaboration with Chris Brown. These two may seem like opposites on paper — he the legally troubled R&B bad boy, she the sugary sweet Nickelodeon pop diva — but there was just something about the idea of it that left us intrigued. Now, we're just days away from the official release, and Chris's team has dropped a dance teaser video that does not disappoint!
It might seem like this song has taken extra long to arrive on our virtual doorsteps because it was actually intended to drop in March. However, the fact that Chris is in jail awaiting his assault charges threw a wrench in those plans, and the track was pushed back. But no longer!
This one-shot video is of a dancer resembling Chris himself rocking out to the crazy catchy, club-ready tune. As for the song itself, it may be mostly a chorus without any verses, but it doesn't really bother us? The beat is really great, Ari and Chris sound fantastic harmonizing together, and that fantasy novel artwork at the end is just TMTH (too much to handle).
No word yet on when the official single release will happen (though Chris's album X drops May 5), but we predict this one will be a megahit. Now, if only Mr. Brown can get himself extricated from that prison cell to promote it…
What do you make of Chris and Rihanna's new tune? Tell us in the comments below.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Florida emergency leaders are removing
some protective boom intended to buffer the state's inland
waterways and estuaries in the Panhandle from the Gulf of Mexico
Workers began removing the boom Wednesday because of potential
tropical weather, and officials monitor the development of a
tropical wave.
Officials say the boom could do more harm than good during high
winds and storm surge, which could carry the boom into sensitive
wetlands, damaging those areas.
The Hurricane Center in Miami says the system is supposed to
pass near or over South Florida in the couple of days and will
probably move into the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend.
Right now,
it has a 60 percent chance of becoming a tropical depression or
storm within the next 48 hours.

Hospitality. Compassion. Integrity. Empowerment. These core values are the centerpiece of Bethlehem Haven's delivery of services to homeless women and those at-risk of homelessness.
Bethlehem Haven's mission is to provide a continuum of care for homeless women that leads toward self-sufficiency.
Bethlehem Haven's vision is to end homelessness through collaboration with the community and the people we serve.
Thirty-five years ago, Rev. Peter Weaver of Smithfield United Church of Christ in Downtown Pittsburgh made a decision that changed the lives of thousands of women. Instead of locking the church doors for the night on a bitter cold Christmas Eve, he opened them to a group of homeless women huddled together against the brutal weather. In that moment, Bethlehem Haven was born, and the doors have never since been closed.
Bethlehem Haven operated in those early years as an emergency shelter in the basement of Smithfield UCC, providing a place to sleep, something to eat, and compassionate care, but the original focus of crisis intervention was insufficient to address the multiple issues confronting the growing number of homeless women seeking assistance. Bethlehem Haven created a collaborative model of service providers to address these needs, which brought more volunteers into the shelter and expanded regular programs to include health and wellness services.
In 2000, Bethlehem Haven moved into Fifth Avenue Commons, located in Uptown Pittsburgh, a transition that allowed the organization to expand its programs by adding transitional housing and a health clinic. Before long, the Haven was also providing employment services and established permanent supportive housing for women who are the most vulnerable and in need of life-long care.
Just a few years ago, Bethlehem Haven merged with Miryam´s, adding 30 transitional housing spaces and expanding the total number of beds to 96. The merger also added a day program shelter to our continuum of care, providing more of the resources needed to help these women return to a fulfilling and productive life.
In the words of one resident, "We didn't choose to be homeless. No one chooses that kind of life. But without Bethlehem Haven, I really don't know where I would have gone."
For the last 35 years, Bethlehem Haven has provided nearly 13,000 nights of shelter, every night, and the need continues to grow. Each year, the Haven provides nearly 60,000 meals; sees around 600 men and women in the health and wellness clinic; fills countless physical and emotional needs for our residents and day program attendees; and provides employment training for more than 100 men and women in the community.
Today, Bethlehem Haven is better equipped than ever to benefit homeless women living in the area as well as the greater Pittsburgh community by providing long-term solutions to help end the cycle of homelessness.

Hi all,
I'd like to add
rel="publisher" to a link. I've found that the link is in socialnetwork.php and it is under /library/widgets/. I've edited the file and have added that code, but it doesn't appear in the code of the web page even if i've tried with three browser deleting cache and cookies.
Should I make some other steps?
Thanks and ciao

French auto giant PSA Peugeot Citroen said Monday it would temporarily suspend production at its Slovak plant for four days in March, after a four-day freeze in February over low demand.
"The situation on the market hasn't changed, we see no signs of improvement in the European Union," the company's main market, spokesman Peter Svec told AFP.
"PSA in Trnava, western Slovakia, will freeze output for four more days in March," he added.
According to local media, PSA's 3,500 employees will receive 65 percent of their normal wages during the stoppage.
The plant, which rolls out the Citroen C3 and the new Peugeot 208, assembled a record 215,000 cars last year and is expected to top the figure this year.
Slovakia's auto sector posted record output of 900,000 vehicles in 2012, despite gloom in the European Union -- its key export market, according to the Slovak automotive industry.
The eurozone country of 5.4 million is home to three big plants run by German giant Volkswagen, South Korea's Kia and PSA Peugeot Citroen.

In the CSS page, which part do I edit to change the background colors?
I have two shades of color currently, white on the center and dark green on the two left and right columns. Would like to know how to change colors. TIA.

I have two shades of color currently, white on the center and dark green on the two left and right columns. Would like to know how to change colors. TIA.
You can use the BODY selector:
body {background: #fff;}
This would give you white on your whole page. Then in your #menu-left and #menu-right selectors you could add the same line as above, but change the colour codes to whatever you like.
#menu-left {background: #039;}
#menu-right {background: #c1f;}
Could you post a link to your site?

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/kkwak/public_html/calpolyonline/wp-links/links.weblogs.com.php on line 46
everything else looks good.
With 1.0 you shouldn't be including links.websogs.com.php anymore, it's now wp-includes/links-update-xml.php
Yeah sucks. I was working on the template and the layout.css when something screwed up.
I went back to version 072.
I don't know if this is useful here, but I've just modified the CSS for my page for links display in the main body.
The links are now a shade of red, and they go orange when hovered.
To use it, you'll need to use
Just drop this into the wp-layout.css anywhere.
a.main:link {
color: #cc0000;
outline: none;
text-decoration: none;
a.main:visited {
color: #cc0000;
a.main:hover {
color: #FF3300;
text-decoration: none;
a.main:active {
color: #FF9933;
There's probably a more elegant solution, but this does for me :)
Okay .. since doing this, I've been manually putting in 'class="main" ' when adding links, and that got boring. So I had a look, and it was easy to get the program to do it for me.
In the file quicktags.js, the second function from the bottom should be amended to read;
if (!edCheckOpenTags(i)) {
var URL = prompt('Enter the URL' ,defaultValue);
if (URL) {
edButtons[i].tagStart = '';
edInsertTag(myField, i);
That sorts links from the main login panel.
In the file bookmarklet.php, the line above /* /big funky fixes */ should read;
$content = ''.$popuptitle.''."\n$text";
That sorts links when using the 'Press-it' function.
They aren't big clever things, but they make my blogging better :)
Try #2
Second function from the bottom is
function edInsertLink(myField, i, defaultValue)
Put 'class="main" ' between the a and the href of that statement.
In the line of text which is above "big funky fixes " (it's about halfway down), do exactly the same thing.
Of course, you could put any declared class in there for your links.
Can someone tell what did I do wrong with this. I would like for the background color to be black but yet it's white. What did i do wrong.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

If your Silverlight application performs intensive updates to the UI during mouse events, the UI can freeze because it is invalidated before it has a chance to render. This post describes a technique for 'throttling' mouse events to ensure that each time an event occurs, the UI has the opportunity to render.
The visual tree of a Silverlight / WPF uses the retained mode graphics rendering style, where the tree forms a model of the graphics which are rendered to the screen. Any changes that are made to the visual tree by adding / removing objects or changing the properties of an object within the tree, are automatically rendered to your computer screen at some point in the future.
This graphics style makes the development of complex graphics far easier than with the immediate mode counterpart. You add objects, make changes to them, and these changes are reflected on the screen by some background magic. This works just fine most of the time, however, if you continually make changes to the visual tree, without yielding, the 'process' which updates the UI does not have the opportunity to run, and your UI is starved.
I have found that this problem occurs most often when handling mouse events, particularly MouseMove and MouseWheel. Both of these events have the opportunity to fire very rapidly. If, when handling one of these events you make some change to the visual tree, there is the possibility that the event may be raised again before these changes are reflected on the screen. For a demonstration of this, have a play with the following simple example:
[CodeProject does not support Silverlight content, see the above in action on my blog]
The application above creates funky patterns that track the current mouse position:
private void MainPage_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
///
Everything works just fine when there are < 1000 lines on screen, however as more lines are added, the act of adding a new line to the visual tree becomes more expensive. As a result, the work needed to handle each event becomes so great that the UI is starved. If you move the mouse rapidly across the display, you will find that nothing happens until you stop moving your mouse, then all of a sudden the new lines appear.
Interestingly, the background animation (which is performed on the Tick of a DispatcherTimer) does not starve the UI.
So, what to do? The answer is to throttle the event.
No, I don't mean that kind of throttle, I mean throttle as in "to suppress or regulate the flow of".
What we need to do is ensure that the changes we make to the visual tree within our MouseMove event are reflected in the UI before we make a subsequent change. Fortunately the Silverlight / WPF frameworks expose a static CompositionTarget.Rendering event which can be used for this purpose. This event is fired just before a frame is rendered. Therefore, to throttle the effect of the mouse event, we set a flag to indicate that we are waiting for a change to be rendered, then reset this flag just before rendering occurs.
I have wrapped this concept up in a simple class that provides a ThrottledMouseMove event:
///
The _awaitingRender flag ensure that we do not starve the UI. Note, the CompositionTarget.Rendering event handler removes itself after handling the event, this is because the presence of the handler causes Silverlight to continuously animate.
To use this code, simply substitute the regular MouseMove event handler with our throttled event:
// standard mouse move event handling
MouseHandler.MouseMove += new MouseEventHandler(MainPage_MouseMove);
// Replace with ...
// throttled mouse move event handling
var throttledEvent = new ThrottledMouseMoveEvent(MouseHandler);
throttledEvent.ThrottledMouseMove +=
new MouseEventHandler(ThrottledEvent_ThrottledMouseMove);
As a result, the UI remains responsive:
The MouseWheel event is another mouse event that fires very rapidly and can result in the UI becoming frozen. Again, the same technique can be used to throttle this event. However, with the MouseMove event, the event arguments carry the current mouse position, the MouseWheel event carries just the mouse wheel position delta. If we simply suppress events that occur before render, the UI will not respond correctly, with a smaller delta being applied than is required.
The code shown below is a slightly more complex class for throttling the MouseWheel event. This class aggregates all the MouseWheel events that occur before the UI is rendered, supplying a total delta:
///
The following application combines both of these throttled mouse event handlers:

Why don't we just come to your churches on the first Sunday of the month, walk right up to the lectern and say whatever we want to say? It's not like you card people to make sure that they're Mormon first. That sounds like a great way to reach out to Mormons to me!
Awesome, Jack! And welcome to F&T meeting. I'm putting you on my bingo card right now.]]>
I was going through old journal entries today and I came across this. I thought you'd be interested. This was recorded during my first semester at BYU.
"Sunday, March 4, 2001
I went to the LDS sacrament meeting today. … Today was fast Sunday, and people are allowed to come to the podium and bear their testimonies. So I came forward. I was shaking so badly. When it was my turn to come, I started to talk about how I'd gotten into some bad fights with my dad when I was in ninth grade, and how he'd tell me that no one would love me, that no other parents would want me because I was such a rotten child. But what Dad didn't understand was that Jesus wanted me, and that He loves me, and He had a plan for me. And I quoted Jeremiah 29:11-13. I was crying so badly.
Afterwards, people said so many nice things about my testimony. Everyone asked me to repeat what verse it was I quoted. [One girl] gave me such a nice note, and even [a guy friend of mine] said he was impressed with the fact that God loves us. Several girls said they were thankful for my testimony, and one girl said I was an example to her. [My roommate from Deseret Towers] told me later on that she didn't think there was a single person in that room who hadn't been touched by my testimony. Someone told me that some girls had been talking about how ironic it was that they'd felt the Spirit more during my testimony than anybody else's; any of the members, that is."
Ugh, I was a crier and a shaker, how cliché. But still, you know what? Us evangelicals are always looking for new ways to reach out to Mormons. Why don't we just come to your churches on the first Sunday of the month, walk right up to the lectern and say whatever we want to say? It's not like you card people to make sure that they're Mormon first. That sounds like a great way to reach out to Mormons to me!
You've inspired me. I'm gonna go to F&T meeting tomorrow.]]>
I always found church concordance covers fit Stephen King novels quite nicely.]]>
"Have I Done Any Good?"…
"I Stand All Amazed"…
I have fond memories of giggling uncontrollably while playing that.]]>
I don't blame you guys at all for playing games in church. Protestant churches aren't always interesting. When my mother was alive but terminally ill, I visited her church with her one day and the pastor was droning on. We started passing a note back and forth making plans to go see a movie after church, 30 Days of Night. Now that she's passed away, I still have the note and I look at it and it makes me laugh. There's just something really funny to me that we were passing notes in church, making plans to see a really gory rated R movie on the Sabbath. It was the last time I went to a movie with my mom though, and I'm not sorry I did it.
My current pastor is usually interesting enough that I don't get bored often, but I may have to keep the games thing in mind next time I have a boring pastor.]]>
Bridget (or I guess you go by Jack, right?), I think
F&T meetings (and probably other sacrament meetings as well) are probably boring, which is why we play games during them. I think I enjoy F&Ts a little more because I know the people in my ward very well, having lived in the same ward for most of my life, and I'm always entertained by finding out what they have to say. But then, I'm easily entertained.
I think what you said would be a very welcome thing to say at F&T in most wards. One of the things we need most is an outsider's perspective of us. It's refreshing.]]>
When I was a teenager, I read a lot of counter-cult literature and had contact with several prominent counter-cult ministers. I had a really poor attitude towards Mormons and eventually had an epiphany about all this, seeing that my attitude needed to change and the counter-cult influences needed to go. I visited a friend's ward once and in F&T meeting I got up and shared this, that while I was not a believer in the church, I knew that we each put our hope in Christ in some way and I wanted them to know there was one evangelical who'd had a huge change of heart about them. I'm sure it was one of the oddest things they'd ever heard at a F&T meeting.
I may have spoken at F&T meeting once in my early days at BYU, I can't remember. It'd have been something along similar lines if I did.
Regarding parents whispering to their children what to say at F&T meeting, I've always looked at it with a caustic eye. I've known several ex-Mormons who felt that they were taught to fake a testimony they never had by parents who insisted they repeat "the church is true" on a regular basis. I certainly don't want my own daughter affirming belief in the church unless she actually comes to feel that way. It's something that I'm open to, but I'm doing my best to see to it that she isn't manipulated either way.]]>

I'm trying to fix a problem on a Vista machine where all the USB ports seem to have power but they don't recognize devices plugged into them.
It seemed to start after I plugged my mp3 player (sansa clip) into it and disconnect it. So it sounds similar to this article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817900 but that was for XP. And I did try all the fixes (including the registry entry) but they did not help.
It also sounds similar to this SU question 50110 but I don't think it is the mother board.
I have see other places that suggest reinstalling the OS...but that seems like a last resort type of thing. I have also seen a suggestion of doing a system restore but not sure if that will help.
Any ideas of what I can try?

What started as an attempted routine traffic stop, quickly escalated into a potentially deadly situation for Chicago police, this afternoon.
Seconds into the brief high speed police car chase, the suspects in the offending vehicle ditched their car at 1355 West Thorndale. All three black male occupants fled the scene on foot.
Police recovered a handgun in an alley behind 5956 North Magnolia Avenue. The weapon belonged to one of the fleeing suspects, said police.
One of the three offenders was arrested at 1257 West Norwood, said one source.
Authorities are still looking for two more suspects.
No injuries were reported.

Not far from where I live either. Why do I get the feeling that it is going to be a long summer.
- May 4, 2011 at 2:49 PM
Glad to hear that the thugs tossed the gun rather than let the bullet fly. Now, I fear that they will get a slap on the wrist from a clueless Judge instead of real jail time for what should be a serious weapons violation. If the alderman wants to keep guns off the streets, he should make sure that these guys with guns are off the streets.

Pierce Retires As TCHS Cook After 30 Years
This weekend we honor the brave men and women who gave their lives for this great country. Originally referred to as "Decoration Day," the holiday originated after the Civil War as Americans would decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers each year. Following WWI it took on new significance and all of America's wars were from then on included and observed in the holiday we now know as "Memorial Day."
On Monday, our nation will pause as it has for more than 150 years to remember and pay tribute to those who gave their lives protecting our nation.
There are more than 1.2 million names on that list, about half of which were added during the four years of the Civil War.

According to E! News, Maroon 5 has had "extensive talks" to play the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. The Adam Levine-fronted band is the latest act reportedly vying for the gig. Previous rumored acts in the mix included Britney Spears, Coldplay and even Bruno Mars. The "Treasure" singer scored the coveted gig just two years ago at Super Bowl XLVIII.
The "Sugar" band wouldn't be a half-bad choice. They have plenty of hits in their catalog that would entertain the crowd and the millions of viewers watching at home. Personally though, I liked the idea that was floating around where multiple talents would share the stage for the NFL's 50th anniversary.
Speaking of which, you might've noticed the league ditched Roman numerals this year. I don't blame them, Super Bowl L looks a tad odd.
Do you think Maroon 5 can handle the gig? Who would you choose? Or do you agree that multiple acts should join forces for the special anniversary? Weigh in below.
Adam Levine was originally working with NBC for a music-themed limited series set in the 1970s, but the network pulled the plug on the project last week. The peacock network, however, has decided to go with another one of Levine's pitches.
NBC has ordered a pilot for The Untitled Adam Levine Show which is based on his band Maroon 5's viral "Sugar" music video. Here's the official logline below.
"A couple about to get married suddenly discovers that a world famous recording artist is leading the house band. An Emmy Award-winning actor becomes an unexpected guest of a bachelorette party. Working with a team of improv experts who create the element of surprise, these stars give their fans a moment together they will never forget and turn their already special event into something extraordinary."
I absolutely loved the music video, but not sure if a series based on that concept has long-term potential. If I had a say, the 1970s-based series is far more appealing to me. Fingers crossed NBC changes its mind in that respect. If you've never watch the "Sugar' clip, watch it below. It's beyond cute.
Normally, I'm not a fan of music videos that consist mostly of concert footage. But, I'll make an exception in this case and for any future ones that begin with Adam Levine showing off his fine naked self. Within the first few seconds, he drops his towel, showing off his juicy booty.
"This Summer's Gonna Hurt Like a Motherf–ker" is the lead single of the band's upcoming re-issue of their album, V. With its extremely catchy hook, I have no doubt it'll continue Maroon 5's impressive streak of eight consecutive Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hits.
The visual was shot this past week during their show at Wembley Arena in London. If you've ever been curious what it's like for Levine and company before, during and after a concert, the video gives a glimpse at things behind the scenes. Check it out below.
Immediately, I was turned off by the title. It's blatantly clear, Adam Levine and company are chasing the 'Song of the Summer' crown for 2015. Calvin Harris pretty much did the same thing last year when he released the aptly-titled, "Summer."
Despite this, "This Summer's Gonna Hurt" instantly hooked me. The chorus is undeniably catchy. I couldn't erase the earworm from memory after just one listen. Damn you, Maroon 5!!! Levine just owns it and his vocals have never sounded better. It's the lead single of the band's upcoming re-issue of their album, V.
Gotta hand it to Maroon 5. They haven't had a misstep in years. Since 2011's "Moves Like Jagger," nothing they've released hasn't managed to crack the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. That's an impressive eight hit single streak. Guaranteed, their latest will continue that trend and will be inescapable this Summer. This one's got bonafide smash written all over it. Give it a listen below.
It's clear that Adam Levine or someone in Maroon 5 loves hip-hop. During their current V era, the band has enlisted rappers J. Cole and Big Sean to add some urban swagger on "Animals" and "Maps" respectively. They've done it once again for their latest single.
This time around though, some female power was enlisted for the official remix of "Sugar." Nicki Minaj delivers some rhymes about her favorite candy and fashion designers on the new version which features an updated and bouncier beat.
I like Minaj, but her presence isn't necessary. The catchy track is fine on its own. Give the remix a listen below and weigh in afterward.
It's fascinating how a simple video concept can be the most mesmerizing sometimes. At face value, there's not much to Maroon 5's latest music video "Love Somebody." It features Adam Levine getting hot and heavy with model Emily Ratajkowski. The two slowly unveil their painted bodies by touching and caressing each other. Hopefully, Levine's real life Victoria's Secret girlfriend doesn't get too jealous. Things get rather steamy. The track is the fourth official single lifted from the band's multi-platinum selling album, Overexposed.
Once again, director Rich Lee delivers another visually captivating piece. If you're not familiar with his work, a few of my favorites include videos for Nicole Scherzinger ("Don't Hold Your Breath"), The Black Eyed Peas ("The Time (Dirty Bit)"), Michael Buble ("Haven't Met You Yet") and Fergie ("Clumsy") to name a few. Check out his latest creation below.
The 2013 Billboard Music Awards air live on Sunday, May 19 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on ABC. The acts competing in all the categories have been revealed. Leading the way with a whopping 11 nominations each is a three way tie between Taylor Swift, fun. and Maroon 5. Right on their tails is Rihanna with 10 nods. Not too far behind are Carly Rae Jepsen and One Direction with nine and eight nominations respectively.
The nominations are based on Billboard's music charts from February 27, 2012 to February 24, 2013. Winners are determined by taking into account album sales and downloads, track downloads, radio airplay and touring as well as streaming and social interactions on Facebook, Twitter, Vevo, Youtube, Spotify and other popular online destinations for music. This year's event is hosted by Tracy Morgan. Swift, Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Miguel, and Prince are among the scheduled performers announced so far. The latter will be on hand to receive the prestigious Billboard Icon Award. Check out the nominations in the major categories below.
We all have obsessions that are hard to explain. Patrick's currently are all those Harlem Shake videos popping up everywhere. For me, my Achilles' heel is anything Victoria's Secret related. There's something about watching those gorgeous Angels work their magic on the runway, beach or whatever location, that I find really fascinating. What can I say, I like pretty things.
As part of their Swim 2013 campaign, the lingerie brand filmed four stunning swim videos featuring tracks from the hottest artists in the world. The first one featured the ladies strutting their hotness to Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven." VS recently released the second and third in the series with Candice Swanepoel and crew lip syncing to Maroon 5's "Woman" and Justin Bieber's "All Around The World."
The fourth clip will debut on March 1. In the meantime, check out Behati Prinsloo showing off her bikini body to her boyfriend Adam Levine's song serving as the soundtrack. Other angels featured include Erin Heatherton, Lindsay Ellingson, Barbara Palvin, Lais Ribeiro, Sara Sampaio, and Karlie Kloss.

"Our thesis is that AAPL has a terrific operating platform, engendering a loyal, sticky and growing customer base that will make repeated purchases ... Unfortunately, there have been a series of disappointments," writes David Einhorn in Greenlight Capital's Q1 letter, defending his bullishness on Apple (AAPL) after a 17% Q1 drop. He also defends his lightning-rod efforts to get Apple to remove Prop. 2 and change its capital structure. Vodafone (VOD - 21% Q1 gain) is another name Einhorn remains bullish on, believing "substantial value" could still be unlocked if a Verizon Wireless deal happens, and speculating AT&T might buy what's left of the carrier. (previous)

Disagree with Einhorn on VOD. As per my article, divesting Verizon Wireless would only expose the weakness in the rest of Vodafone, especially now that the Indian situation is exposed as FUBAR. This scenario has played out several times over the years, and Vodafone simply doesn't want to do it (and rightly so).
Thats only because you havent run the numbers or arent looking at this through a value investors eyes.
If you did, you would see that a sale at 130/140bn values the rest of Vod's business on a ridiculously low PE (2/3).
I respectfully disagree with Einhorn on VOD. VOD's recent acquisition of Kabel Deutschland, potential EU changes in how roaming charges are applied and the problems in India that were previously cited are all reasons why AT&T would shy away from a VOD acquisition move. AT&T has other options to consider in order to participate in the European wireless sector. I believe that VOD is more than fairly valued at today's $35.80/share because of Einhorn's comments on Bloomberg TV.

Did the Golden Globes make themselves absolutely irrelevant in this year's Oscar races?
No one has ever taken much stock in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's best of the year picks as a reliable precursors to the Academy Awards. At best, they are a well timed marketing tool that provides awards-centric films a publicity boost at the box office. And, this year in particular, for small films such as "We Need To Talk About Kevin," "Albert Nobbs," "The Artist" and "My Week With Marilyn" and "Shame," that could be significant. But after the SAG Awards were announced yesterday, an actual indicator of industry and AMPAS member sentiment, have the Globes ever seemed less relevant?
Sure, "Hugo" landed nominations for best picture - drama, director and score but does that mean its Oscar fortunes are any better than yesterday when it was completely shut out of SAG? No. Is "Moneyball" a lock for an Oscar nod for best picture after its showing with the Globes? Of course not. Does Jonah Hill's double SAG and Golden Globe nominations for supporting actor help his Oscar chances? Um, maybe, but probably not?
When you realize that "The Ides of March," a movie this pundit was a fan of mind you, landed four Golden Globe nominations including best picture, director and screenplay it just makes you want to roll your eyes. And the fact its actor nod in the drama field for Ryan Gosling (who was arguably better in "Drive") knocked out Gary Oldman ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") and Michael Shannon ("Take Shelter") it's almost laughable. Listen, "Ides" is 10 times the movie that say, last year's debacle of love for "The Tourist" is, but its not going to find itself on very many year-end top 10 lists. And yet the foreign press snub Steven Spielberg in the director category for Clooney? What a way to make yourselves irrelevant HFPA.
If any credit is due, at least the foreign press recognized Michael Fassbender for "Shame." A much classier and gutsier call than Fassbender's acting peers did yesterday. But when Jodie Foster and Kate Winslet receive nods for the almost universally derived "Carnage" and Madonna lands an original song nomination? Well, thank god many think Pitt actually deserves an Oscar nod for "Moneyball." It would have been pitiful to imagine he was nominated just so he'd show up on the red carpet with amour Angelina Jolie. Oh, that's right, her directorial debut landed a best foreign language film nod. She'd make the show anyway (more on that later). Needless to say, as my colleague Alan Sepinwall noted on the television side, it's just "silly, like always."
But just for kicks, and because it might give host Ricky Gervais some material to consider for the actual show, here's some thoughts on this year's individual film nominations.
Best Motion Picture - Drama
"The Descendants"
"The Help"
"The Ides of March"
"War Horse"
Lowdown: Oh look six nominations. I thought the rules had been changed to avoid this? Couldn't work in a seventh so "Tinker Tailor" could join the party too?
Best Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical
"The Artist"
"Midnight in Paris"
"My Week with Marilyn"
Lowdown: "50/50" over "Beginners" or "Win Win"? Really HFPA? It amazes me why your group even attends film festivals anymore. At least we didn't get a "Bad Teacher" nod.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
George Clooney, "The Descendants"
Leonardo DiCaprio, "J. Edgar"
Michael Fassbender, "Shame"
Ryan Gosling, "The Ides of March
Brad Pitt, "Moneyball"
Lowdown: Love Gosling and could have stomached him here for "Drive." He was fine in "Ides," but not in the class of Oldman or Shannon.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
Glenn Close, "Albert Nobbs"
Viola Davis, "The Help"
Rooney Mara, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
Meryl Streep, "The Iron Lady"
Tilda Swinton, "We Need To Talk About Kevin"
Lowdown: Mara over the acclaimed turns by Elizabeth Olsen ("Martha Marcy May Marlene"), Kirsten Dunst ("Melancolia") and Felicity Jones ("Like Crazy")? Sigh.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical
Jodi Foster, "Carnage"
Charlize Theron, "Young Adult"
Kristen Wiig, "Bridesmaids"
Michelle Williams, "My Week with Marilyn"
Kate Winslet, "Carnage"
Lowdown: Y'know, I really think Cameron Diaz wanted to come this year. She's got to be a tad bummed she wasn't deemed red carpet worthy by the HFPA. Gotta be happy for Wiig though. Not many would have guessed she'd get nominated before her co-star Melissa McCarthy…not that this will affect either's Oscar chances, of course.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical
Jean Dujardin, "The Artist"
Joseph Gordon Levitt, "50/50"
Ryan Gosling, "Crazy Stupid Love"
Brendan Gleeson, "The Guard"
Owen Wilson, "Midnight in Paris"
Lowdown: Honestly, if someone rents or discovers "The Guard" because of Brendan Gleeson's nod you can't fault that. It's surprising they passed over last year's winner in this category, Paul Giamatti, for his work in "Win Win."
Best Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Berenice Bejo, "The Artist"
Jessica Chastain, "The Help"
Janet McTeer, "Albert Nobbs"
Octavia Spencer, "The Help"
Shailene Woodley, The Descendants
Lowdown: McCarthy out, Woodley in. You could say "Shame's" Carey Mulligan was in trouble, but that only would have meant something yesterday.
Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
Kenneth Branagh, "My Week with Marilyn"
Albert Brooks, "Drive"
Jonah Hill, "Moneyball"
Viggo Mortensen, "A Dangerous Method"
Christopher Plummer, "Beginners"
Lowdown: Whew, at least Armie Hammer isn't going to get his hopes up too high after his SAG nod yesterday. Nice to see Brooks get the love.
Best Director - Motion Picture
Woody Allen, "Midnight in Paris"
George Clooney, "The Ides of March"
Michel Hazanavicius, "The Artist"
Alexander Payne, "The Descendants"
Martin Scorsese, "Hugo"
Lowdown: See previous rant about Spielberg getting shafted here. I'm not someone who bows at the Spielberg altar like some critics, but even this snub is ridiculous to me.
Best Screenplay - Motion Picture
"Midnight in Paris"
"The Ides of March"
"The Artist"
"The Descendants"
Lowdown: 99% sure this won't mean much come Oscar time.
Best Animated Feature Film
"The Adventures of Tintin"
"Arthur Christmas"
"Cars 2"
"Puss in Boots"
Lowdown: "Cars 2." HFPA bows to the Disney/Pixar lobbying. 'Nuff said.
Best Foreign Language Film
"Flowers of War"
"The Land of Blood and Honey"
"The Kid with A Bike"
"A Separation"
"The Skin I Live In"
Lowdown: Angelina Jolie shows a great deal of talent in her directorial debut with "Blood and Honey," but its embarrassing the number of other foreign language films this group of international journalists looked over to make sure she attended the show.
Best Original Score - Motion Picture
"The Artist"
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
"War Horse"
Lowdown: Y'know, one of the few good things about "W.E" is its score. Besides the snub for "Drive," can't really argue with these five.
Best Original Song - Motion Picture
"HELLO HELLO" — "Gnomeo & Juliet"
Music by: Elton John
Lyrics by: Bernie Taupin
"THE KEEPER" — "Machine Gun Preacher"
Music & Lyrics by: Chris Cornell
"LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN" — "Albert Nobbs"
Music by: Brian Byrne
Lyrics by: Glenn Close
"THE LIVING PROOF" — "The Help"
Music by: Mary J. Blige, Thomas Newman, Harvey Mason, Jr.
Lyrics by: Mary J. Blige, Harvey Mason, Jr., Damon Thomas
Music & Lyrics by: Madonna, Julie Frost, Jimmy Harry
Lowdown: On the other hand, I'm a big Madonna fan, but "Masterpiece" is a terrible, terrible track. And to snub any of the songs from "The Muppets"? Someone must have forgotten to tell you how great it would have been for Gervais to do a bit with Miss Piggy. This is why you need Dick Clark Productions HFPA.

Guatemala Human Rights Commission USA
Rating: 4.96 stars 48 48 reviews
3321 12th St NE Washington DC 20017 USA
Founded in 1982, GHRC is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting human rights in Guatemala by documenting abuses, educating the international community, mobilizing our grassroots base and advocating for just policies. GHRC supports Guatemalan communities and human rights defenders who face threats and violence due to their work to promote positive, systemic change.
In 2012 we: - Delivered over 2,200 petition signatures to the Guatemalan government requesting food aid and other support for the 800 indigenous families evicted in the Polochic Valley. As a result of this petition as well as GHRC's ongoing support with their case before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, the families received six deliveries of food and have been promised land. - Created an online action to email US Members of Congress, asking them to maintain the ban on US funding to the Guatemalan army. Our supporters sent 2,111 emails and the ban will remain in place for the year. - Provided affidavits in 10 cases of Guatemalans applying for asylum and testified in three more. At least two applicants received asylum based on domestic violence they had suffered in Guatemala and were allowed to remain in the US. The other cases have been postponed. - Coordinated a successful email and call campaign targeting the mining company Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, as well as the Guatemalan Government, calling for an end to attacks on the communities in resistance in San José del Golfo. We accompanied the emails with direct talks with the US Embassy in Guatemala to advocate for dialogue and the full respect of the communities' right to protest. A tense calm has been maintained since then. - Provided scholarships to 18 children of human rights defenders who have been attacked or killed for their work, enabling them to continue their education. - Led a delegation on women in resistance. On returning to the US, the delegates collected books and arts supplies for organizations they had met with and used their new knowledge to better serve their Guatemalan clients in the US.

Reviews for Guatemala Human Rights Commission USA
GHRC is one of the few organizations that maintain a strong grassroots focus in all that they do. One of the only organizations with offices in both D.C. and Guatemala City, GHRC truly understands the needs of their partners on the ground, supporting their work. GHRC does not dictate policy or actions, but echoes the voice of Guatemalans who face great risks of violence every day. This is GHRC's humble yet powerful role in the fight for peace and justice in Guatemala. I am proud to support GHRC's work, and most importantly, the work of GHRC's partners.

Will you volunteer or donate to this organization beyond what is required of board members?
How much of an impact do you think this organization has?
Will you tell others about this organization?
When was your last experience with this nonprofit?
GHRC does outstanding work to promote peace and justice in Guatemala. At a time when other foundations, organizations, and funding is pulling out in Guatemala, and when violence continues to escalate to conflict-level rates, GHRC is not only remaining steadfast in it's solidarity, it is expanding its support and work. I participated in the June 2008 Human Rights Defenders Delegation, and the August 2009 Women's Right to Live delegation, and have volunteered through out the years. GHRC does high quality research, human rights monitoring, advocacy, and solidarity actions. I am deeply honored and proud to work with them.

You at least made him look decent.

This is a MUCH better outfit than the one Tyroc had in the comics back in the day. I like this version quite a bit more.

Growth in Singapore's trade-reliant economy slowed down sharply last year, expanding 1.3 percent as exports tumbled due to a global economic slump, official data showed Friday.
Although full-year growth was marginally higher than the 1.2 percent figure given by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong last month based on preliminary data, it still marked a steep deceleration from the 5.2 percent expansion in 2011.
The key manufacturing sector bore the brunt of the slowdown, as global demand for electronics goods softened.
"For the whole of 2012, Singapore's GDP (gross domestic product) growth slowed to 1.3 per cent, from 5.2 per cent in 2011, mainly due to weakness in the externally-oriented sectors," the trade ministry said in a statement.
"Weighed down by the contraction in the electronics cluster, (the) manufacturing sector growth slowed sharply from 7.8 percent in the previous year to 0.1 percent."
Electronics shrank by 11.3 percent in 2012, faring the worst out of Singapore's six major manufacturing clusters.
Overall GDP was supported by a buoyant construction sector which grew 8.2 percent last year, the ministry said. Services rose 1.2 per cent.
For the fourth quarter of 2012, GDP expanded a better-than-expected 1.5 percent year on year.
The ministry maintained its 2013 growth forecast at 1.0-3.0 percent in light of economic worries in Europe and the US.
"While downside risks have receded, the global economic outlook is still clouded with uncertainties," the ministry said.
"In particular, concerns remain over the extent of the fiscal cutback with the budget sequester in the US, as well as the potential flare-up of the debt crisis in the eurozone.
"Should any of these risks materialise, Singapore's economic growth could come in lower than expected."
Singapore's trade-dependent economy is considered a bellwether for Asia's exporters, which depend heavily on electronics and other manufactured shipments to the West as economic drivers.
But unlike its bigger neighbours, the city-state lacks a domestic market to make up for the slack in exports.

We truly enjoyed our day charter - it was perfect for our group, who wanted a private experience separate from some of the other tours (which are also enjoyable but a very different experience).
Here is a recap - Earlier this month, we got married in Puerto Vallarta and had a week long celebration with friends and family. We definitely wanted to show our 50 guests a great time and decided to charter a catamaran for our group (ended up being 30 adults and 6 kids who came on the boat). After looking around at our options, the Humu Humu proved to be the most flexible and tailored for what we wanted for our group.
From the get go, Barbro, the owner, was very informative and willing to work with us on our many requests (we booked early - in February for a June trip) including finding us a photographer (who stayed with us all day and took great photos that captured the essence of our trip). Another request we made was to start our trip from Boca de Tomatlan (20 minutes from where we were staying on the south side of PV at Garza Blanca) instead of Nuevo Vallarta (1 hour away) which Barbro and the crew accommodated. We were scheduled for an 11 am departure (since the night before was a late night) and the charter arrived right on time (even a few minutes early) which was great.
We then spent 6 amazing hours on board, exploring Banderas Bay and taking a couple of snorkeling stops before settling on a private beach for a couple of hours. The humu humu itself is an impressive vessel, with a ton of space for everyone to lay around (and rest in some shade too). Captain Alvaro and the staff were extremely nice and on top of everything and it seemed someone was always there to refresh our drinks. The boys in our group are heavy beer drinkers and we never ran out, plus they made us special skinny margaritas (made with splenda instead of sugar) which I requested since the following day was after all, my wedding day. The staff also made the kids in our group special fruit smoothies, which we dubbed as their mocktails :) Lunch of sandwiches (vegetarian and deli meats) was great and we had a ton of guacamole, chips and salsa which was equally delicious.
A couple of people in our group started to get a little seasick, and the staff was on top of it with helpful advice, cold water, etc. When it came to snorkeling, the guides were super helpful, and even fed the fish so they would come around us. In addition to all the snorkeling gear, there were also 4 kayaks on board which we put to good use.
Overall, we had an amazing time and felt like rockstars with the treatment we were given by the whole crew. Our whole group is still talking about the trip. I would definitely recommend the charter for any group heading to Vallarta... this was a truly special and memorable day that was all the more better because it was private and tailored made for us!
Thank you so much to Barbro, Penny (who made sure everything ran smoothly), Captain Alvaro and the crew for an unforgettable day.

Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'

Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

Pregnant Woman Receives What Appears to Be the Latest NYPD Chokehold While Grilling on the Sidewalk
There are photos.
Two banned chokeholds, one tragic death, and one head-stomp later, the recent string of questionable NYPD conduct caught on-camera continues. Photos released today by the advocacy group People Organizing and Working for Empowerment and Respect seem to show a police officer administering a chokehold — a move prohibited by the department for two decades — on 27-year-old Rosan Miller, a woman seven months pregnant, in front of her young daughter.
The Daily News reports that the incident, which occurred on Saturday, began because Miller and her family were barbecuing on the sidewalk.
"Grilling. Barbeque. In front of her home," said former city councilman Charles Barron at a news conference today. "Not committing any crimes." Miller was charged with disorderly conduct, while her brother and husband were accused of resisting arrest and obstruction.
"I was so shocked," said Miller. "I was asking, What's the problem, and he didn't explain." Barron added, of the officer involved, "We want him out of our community. This is not the first time he has harassed us."
While Miller appears to have something in her hand during the struggle, the full circumstances surrounding the arrest are not yet known as no video has been released. But following the death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, this does not look good.
