It's like be like 3/4 %. People should stop doing crime. Statistically, this is a tricky one. You can't go my sheer numbers, you have to look at it in the percentile approach because a country with a population of 50 million that has 500,000 people in prison works out to be 1%. So if you look at it in terms of numbers of 2.2 million in the USA out of a population of 300 million, it's still far below 1%. But, if you took a European country for example, like Italy or France that has a population of 50 - 60 million, but has 500,000 people in prisons, then stastically, they have more people in prison per 100,00 than the USA does. Just a note. by patch22us [+] P.S on the China stat, face facts...they execute more people, so it's of course a lower number in prisons. How can you accurately track their prison population when in reality, more people "disappear" in China, without trace, than in any other country on the planet? If they were to imprison instead of execute, they'd probably have 10x than the supposed 1.5 million. by patch22us [+] "if you took a European country for example, like Italy or France that has a population of 50 - 60 million, but has 500,000 people in prisons, then stastically, they have more people in prison per 100,00 than the USA does. Just a note." (patch22us) The reason your note is flawed is because in France for example, their prison population is nowhere near (per 100,000) The numbers this Country has...neither is Italy...

Austin Air has made a conscious decision to keep Americans employed by keeping their | ||
manufacturing facility in the United States. We feel that every company has an obligation to carefully examine the social, economic and moral costs of sending jobs offshore. At Austin Air we believe that American workers still build the best products, that corporations can still make a healthy profit manufacturing in the United States and that the benefits of staying in America far outweigh the costs. When a company chooses to go offshore to manufacture a product, they are motivated by one thing…greed. As a result, our economy suffers through lost jobs and money, and the American consumer is short changed. The benefits of these corporate cost savings are rarely passed on to the consumer and the product is now of a lesser quality.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I concur....while not blinded totally by this school, my daughter spent her first 6 years in the local public school system and graduated 5th grade with a 3rd grade reading level. We were accepting into 6th grade at QGCS and she thrived and has excelled way beyond our dreams. Now a high school senior at QGHS! Parents that complain about discipline not being followed up or teachers that do not care, need to go to the expense and go to private school....my son started in 1st grade and now in 7th and we have always found the staff to be caring and quick to react to any concerns or problems with students or teachers. There is ALWAYS bad apples anywhere and those are weeded out on a case-by-case basis. My son personally had bullying problems with an older child and I feel that it was handled immediately and properly to full resolution. My son love his school and cannot imagine going anywhere else. I hear the horror stories coming out of CMS schools and can't imagine either of my kids still attending pulic school. Agree that other parents can become too involved, but again, that is everywhere and if you don't like it, become involved yourself. LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!!
I was just reading thru some of the other reviews and they made me so sad! Overall, Queens Grant is a great school. Yes, they have problems like public schools and like $25,000 per year private schools as well. NO school is perfect. We have been so very happy at this school. My daughters are thriving. I am a working parent, and I feel like I am treated just like the stay at home moms. We have had a teacher or two that haven't been wonderful--and they are no longer there--so yes, teachers are held accountable. I recommend this school to others often. I am a CMS employee, I could send my kids to ANY CMS school--I CHOOSE to send them to Queens Grant instead. My daughters have been taught great moral values at this school, and I know they are keeping up academically as well.
Regan Adam is the only individual at this school worthy of five stars! She is worthy of ten! Unfortunately, the rest leaves a lot to be desired. There is little disciplinary action for both students AND teachers who act out. The teachers are overwhelmed and do not seem to be supported by their administration unless they are part of the in group. Communication is lacking. My child was challenged and thrived in Mrs. Adam's class... after that, I may as well have put him in CMS. We had high hopes, but, in the end, Queen's Grant failed to impress as a whole.
All I can say is disappointment. We came in hoping for a great education and a great environment. Overall we found complacent teachers and unruly kids with little to no disciplinary actions for inappropriate behavior. I too had blinders on, but not anymore. There are parents who are way too involved. Be wary of sending your kid here. Once you get there you my be stuck. Buyer Beware!
Queens Grant purports itself to be head and shoulders above the CMS public school system. It is not. There is a lot of complacent behavior among the staff. Parental help in the classroom is begged for; if both parents work, then those parents are not on the same level as the parents who think QG is their home away from home. Busybody moms have waaaaay too much input and involvement at this school. Most staff members act professional, but those that do not overshadow the others. Don't get it wrong: a few run this school, their way. The academics are just average. Because it is a "charter school", and has a lottery for openings, it creates a false sense of prestige. This does not compare to a private school, in any way. One unruly student with behavior/cognitive issues can ruin the day for other students. Imagine that EVERY DAY for your child. Discipline is not followed per the handbook. We bought the fluff initially, but time and experience has removed the blinders.
This school is run like a junior high clique. Why do parents receive emails about the class from another parent who volunteers at the school? Surely the teachers should be in charge of the class. Too many power tripping parents!!! Professionalism in the staff could greatly be improved.
My child has been at Queens Grant for two years, and I've been extremely pleased with his teachers and academic experience. I'm looking forward to my other children going here in the future.
I'm glad that someone noticed that the PE teacher is a Bully. She would have been fired if she was at a CMS school. I have seen her bully and threaten kids. When you try to tell administration they will just tell you that she can seem abrasive, BUT she loves the kids. Anyone who loves kids would see that it is just WRONG to pull a child and push them or point out that they need to lose weight, or ask why are you mean to the PE teachers child. She is always bullying kids and the PE teacher went into her childs classroom and threatened the other kids that they should leave her child alone. Please be aware that she walked into another teachers class and because there was a sub in there, this PE teachers thought she could say whatever she wanted to the class. The Sub had a responsibility to report this and never did. The administration only again talked to the PE teacher or wrote her up.The teacher should not be there. Is the administration afraid to take action?One day a parent is going to report it to someone outside of the school who can truly investigate and not be afraid to hold this teacher accountable for her actions.The students are held accountable, but not all of the teachers
Our family has been 100% satisfied with Queen's Grant. Parents must understand that no school is perfect; but at Queen's Grant the administration and teachers are open to listening and welcome the parents input. My children are in a safe and loving environment. We feel our children has received an excellent education academically and socially. The school provides a variety of programs, sports and clubs that our children choose to participate in there. The teachers are highly skilled and receive the support from the school they deserve. The parents are wonderful, and I enjoy spending time with them and interacting with them. I especially appreciate the fact that this school allows me, and encourages me to get involved. It may not be the right fit for everyone; but for our family, it is. I have seen several different schools from the inside (doing my homework) and this school is top notch. It all goes back to what you're looking for. Are you an involved parent? If so, this just may be the right fit. If you just want to send your kids to school and expect the school to do all the work, then maybe you should seek the CMS system. Regards, 100% Satisfied Parent of 4 QG students
You couldn't ask for a more loving and caring school. I feel like my children are challenged and we are grateful to be a part of this awesome school. I feel like the concerns raised in the past regarding the new grading system are just there....in the past. There is a lot more understanding, uniformity and organization from the teachers and how the system works for the benefit of the child.
I have never felt so welcome in any other environment. It has been my experience that they individualize work for the kids. I know that my child has been challenged. There is always additional help when the help is required even when you do not ask for it. For parents looking for school it would be wise to not think that any school is going to do 100% of the work. Parent do play a major role in the education of their child. I do get a private school feel and I would not have my kids in any where else. PARENTS NEED TO BE INVOLVED AND NOT EXPECT SOME ONE ELSE TO GET IT ALL DONE.
We have been at this school for two years. With my child going into 2nd grade next year, I am saddened to say that we will not be returning. We wanted a private school atmosphere, but this school is far from that. It truly has a public school mentality with administration acting like they 'deserve' better and therefore not focusing on the children and actually teaching the children. This school needs better leadership and to listen to the parents and students needs!
I have loved Queens Grant from the start. Recently I have concerns, I see complacency with the administration. Test scores and moral seems to be going down. The new grading system does not seem to be working, i have given it the benefit of doubt but I beleive doubt has won out. Teacher turnover in the middle school is high and I fear that the 8th graders are not fully prepared for HS. On a positive note I love the art program. gym class and music programs.The teachers are so dedicated and genuinly care about teaching and making a difference in the students. I think Queens Grant is a wonderful school that is slipping away from excellance. Perhaps a shift in administration would help.
Queens Grant needs a change in administration. A parent who works and is not volunteering in the school on a daily basis is just overlooked. The principal walks right by without speaking. Favoritism is shown to students whose parent gives alot of time to the school, and that is not always possible for working parents. This school is often compared to a private school, but it is not on par with private schools as far as the administration goes.
My daughter has been at this school for 6 years. We never had a major problem there as far as teachers or admin. until this year. Just never thought the admin. was what is should be. This is my daughters last year there and she has been an excellant student. We recieved a call yesterday AFTER we had dropped her off for school, stating that she had been suspended for the day and we needed to pick her up. No call the day before, no note sent home. The same situation for the other child 's parents that was involved. The student handbook states that there are several steps to go through before "suspension" takes place. This administration DID NOT follow those procedures!!! By the way...my daughter and her best friend were tapping each other in the arm playing and were SUSPENDED - school needs better administration and clearer handbook honestly....
Queens grant meets all of my expectations. I'm happy with my childs teacher and I love the warm cozy environment the school provides. This charter school provides the things Charlotte Mecklenburg County schools can not, offering an education with heart, and with thousands of people applying for the lottery every year the numbers of the parents trying to get in speak for itself.
Once again the complainers want everyone to think they are the majority. They are not. Is Queens's Grant perfect? NO. But it is a good school with parents and teachers who care about the children there. My children are learning and doing well at QG and will continue to do so for years to come.
Current Score Missleading. Look at the date and number of reviews for July 2010. The school sent out an email to selected parents that the rating on GreatSchools was getting low and they asked selected parents to write positive reviews to bring up the rating. (Hence the number of reviews in July 2010). A 'great' school would have sent that email to all parents and let the cards fall. As a 'for profit school' many believe it is Corporate America at work. Quote from letter... (" please write a review on the website I have listed above. Please consider using your name; however you can remain anonymous if you so choose. I can't stress enough how important these postings can be to our school from a marketing stand point.") QG is a good school, Teachers are the best, QG would be 'great' school with better management all round.
Once again the Public Relations machine at work. This is at least the second time they have tried to influence the ratings. This school needs a leadership change. Instead of avoiding and covering up issues, they need to address the complaints and communicate their plans in writing. Having Board Meetings and Info sessions when most parents cannot attend is unacceptable. The number of half days on the school calendar is ridiculous. Non-traditional school calendar causes extra expenses for parents. Before you signup at this school talk to parents who have pulled their children out, and teachers who have quit.
I am a both a teacher and a parent at this school. I have worked in many schools and have never worked with a staff that is as dedicated to this profession as the teachers at this school. My children have done well at QG. I have one that does well and one who struggles with academics. This school has met both their needs. There is not a perfect school out there and we don't claim to be one either but we work hard for these kids.

Sourcing & procurement: when reducing spend is not enough |
Reducing spend on external suppliers by just a few percentage points can mean the difference between profit and loss. This is particularly true for companies where third party spend accounts for a large portion of the cost of goods sold.
Regardless of how successful your company is performing, driving value through better management of third parties and related spend is a key enabler of competitive advantage. Nevertheless, this is about much more than simply squeezing an additional drop out of your suppliers or tightening your budget.
Within Deloitte, we are passionate about Sourcing & Procurement improvements and our clients share this passion. Together we enable the procurement function to optimize its services by reviewing and improving the processes, systems and organisation.
The last decade the role of procurement within organizations has changed from merely an administrative role towards a value creating function. Our clients achieve this transformation by re-examining their procurement strategy, organizational structure, people and processes and re-aligning where necessary to optimize the value in the extended supply chain.
We help our clients to appreciate what procurement best practices look like, what the key elements of procurement are and how they are interlinked. This allows us to help improve procurement capabilities and bring sustainable benefits to our clients' business.

My Grandmother made me one and it needs repairs but I can't find her pattern and she passed away several years ago. Does anyone know where I can find a pattern?
If you google Knit Nativity patterns you will get many sites about such patterns. I know that Jean Greenhowe, a famous English designer of knitted dolls and toys has such a pattern sent. I believe that Alan Dart and maybe Jan Messent also have designed such sets. And when I did a quick google search, apparently Leisure Arts has a nativity pattern.Depending upon when your grandmother knitted your set, she may have used an older pattern. You don't necessarily need a pattern if you are doing repairs. Depending upon the degree of damage, you may be able to do repairs using an embroidery stitch work called duplicate stitch or Swiss Darning. Again, google either of these terms for websites with tutorials on how to do the duplicate stitch.

What was your biggest waste of money, Programming wise?

Hope this dosen't become flame bait...
But what was the biggest waste of money you spent on D* or E* programming?
When I first got E* 3.5 years ago, I went crazy with ordering programming (had lame cable for so long, felt like a starving man in a supermarket)
Biggest waste was
1) Bloomberg (before AT150, was an a-la-carte channel), not bad in itself. But with the choices of all the other News channels in the 200-210 range, not a channel I felt was worth paying extra for.
2) Multi-RSN package. Figured having all those RSNs would be great, but way tooo much blackouts and way to much repition between channels
3) Cinemax, 3 channels, not worth $10, especially when realized the movies weren't being watched anyway.

This is what I said on DBSForums,
Biggest programming waste?...hmmmmm... I'd have to say 10 years of Time Warner Cable service. Other then that, no waste on E*. We've been pretty consistant in programming. Started out with AT100, added supers 8 months later, then upgraded to AT150 when it first came out.

Using Research and Related Evaluation and Dissemination Activities to Strengthen the Mexican '"Building a Pro-Choice Alliance" Consortium
Working with the "Building a Pro-Choice Alliance" Consortium in Mexico, the Council is identifying emblematic cases of abortion service denial, promoting the use of health indicators for legal abortion when pregnancy represents a risk, and building strategies to improve access to medical abortion.
The past three years have been marked by victories and challenges for the five organizations that belong to the innovative "Building a Pro-Choice Alliance" consortium in Mexico whose goal is to promote women's sexual and reproductive rights in Mexico, including abortion. Following passage of the watershed Mexico City law that legalized elective first-trimester abortion in April 2007, the Alliance worked closely with the Mexico City Ministry of Health (MOH) to support the establishment of the country's first legal abortion program, which has served over 40,000 women and is considered the model for the region. The overwhelmingly favorable national Supreme Court decision in August 2008 to uphold the constitutionality of the Mexico City abortion law was another success for women's rights. During 2009, however, a powerful conservative backlash has emerged that aims to prohibit legal abortion altogether in several states. Therefore, the Alliance has reoriented its strategies to respond effectively to new threats in these states.
The Population Council's Mexico office has continued to support the Alliance's shared goals and objectives with rigorous and policy-relevant research. From 2007 to 2009, the Alliance devised four strategic action programs, with Council research leading the agenda, that included: identifying emblematic cases of service denial under the health indication for strategic litigation; promoting and implementing the health indication for legal abortion when pregnancy represents a risk to a woman's physical or mental health; promoting reforms at the federal level; and developing a strategy to improve access to medical abortion as a safe technology. The latest abortion public opinion survey in Mexico City showed a significant increase in favorable opinion about the law—from 38 percent pre-reform (April 2007) to 73 percent two years post-reform (May 2009). Furthermore, a recently completed Council public opinion study in the first eight states that passed conservative reforms found not only low public knowledge about these changes, but also a majority supportive of legal abortion, in at least some circumstances, including the 12-week limit included in the Mexico City law.
The Council has continued to support the Mexico City MOH in streamlining and improving its data system and research capacity. For example, working with the MOH the Council has developed and implemented an electronic data system in its primary-level clinic and conducted targeted dissemination activities from the recently published national abortion incidence study.
As 2009 marked the final year of the Alliance's three-year grant, the Alliance recently submitted a proposal for a complementary two-year award. Despite the latest challenges, the Alliance remains committed and hopeful as it enters the new decade. The Council continues to play the lead role in developing and implementing the Alliance's diverse research portfolio.

"Sarah Klein, who manages myFICO Forums, an online discussion group, likens credit scores to dieting because both affect dating but often are shrouded in secrecy."
Oh, I don't know! If someone needs to be on a diet, it would seem obvious, I think. Sarah, could you elaborate?
Actually, what I said was: improving your credit score is much like dieting because you need to have a lot of patience and probably won't see immediate results.

Sarah, thank you. Yes, given all the quick and easy diet schemes out there you would think that patience is required. But improving your health really doesn't have to take much time, if you are determined. If you adjust your dinner portions to bring down the daily intake to 1300-1500 calories, results will show up in weeks. If you allow four to five hours of not eating before going to sleep, you will burn fat all night long.
A great New Year's resolution is to skip fast food and sugary beverages and see how it goes by the end of January. One thing to motivate you is that if you lose 10% of the weight you have put on since the age of twenty, you will live five years longer. Another tidbit from cruising the best readings a bookstore has to offer is to put half a teaspoon of cinnamon on your oatmeal, which increases your insulin sensitivity by 50%. Or how about some sourdough bread better for blood sugar control?
Talk with your doctor first of course, as your mileage may vary. But skipping the addictive processed food is bound to work wonders. Half of Americans, 90 percent of them not even knowing it, have a condition of many names. Pre-diabetes, metabolic syndrome, Syndrome X, diabesity. The number one cause of heart disease, cancer, dementia and of course type 2 diabetes. The solution more than anything else is losing weight.
Not many New Year's resolutions are better than this. And if you enjoy eating nuts during the holiday season, it's absolutely okay to keep that Christmas spirit year round with about an ounce daily of various good fat nuts. The same with diet books, which these days no doubt are on display at a special post-holiday diet table by the front entrance in a bookstore near you, but are also available any time of the year on their regular shelves. All these books piled up on a small table and so full of disagreement with each other!
"Today he eats only whole, unprocessed foods that are high in protein and low in carbs." On Al Roker, meteorologist
"On a high protein diet, when we restrict carbohydrates so markedly, the body thinks we are caloric deprived and ketosis results. The body begins to lose fat, even if we are consuming plenty of high-fat foods, as Atkins recommends. Once you stop the diet, you'll gain it all back and more; if you stay on the diet, you risk a premature death. Take your pick." By Joel Fuhrman, family physician
I happened to see personal finance writer Liz Weston on Marie this morning, so I was reminded of Why Money Diets Don't Work, which mentions determination and self-control. It's amazing how she nails it time after time.

APF doesn't come in screaming at others about how stupid they are. APF doesn't spam NST with the same tired topic 30 times a month. APF doesn't link to some kook in his mom's basement telling you how to, "Be afraid. Be very afraid" of the world falling down around you. And, when APF is proven wrong, he acknowledges he made a mistake and moves on, rather than harping about "sheeple." -- Cory Bonini Welchie summarized

Last chance...will probably close voting tomorrow.
So the worldview shared by tyke, Walsh, and Rear becomes less and less relevant. What's interesting...is how each one of them is dealing with it. Walsh chooses to go down swinging, letting his natural belligerence have free rein and taking on all comers. Tyke...chooses to play the Merry Martyr to the point where you can practically see the cross...And Rear? Rear's just chosen to slide into triple-Gary-Busey-batsh!t-crazy territory.
Why is nobody calling any of these people out for voting for JANUARY POTM for stuff that happened in FEBRUARY? You guys just about booted me out of the thread for doing it last month.

MOVIE: When I heard that Jack Black would be playing a Mexican Friar who moonlighted as a wrestler in Jared Hess' next project I got very happy, because I knew this would be a funny movie. The trailers for the film advertised exactly what this movie was, and that was pure physical comedy. The story is about Nacho, a Friar who wants the fame and fortune that is associated with being a luchadore after living the same old life over and over each day. He then realizes that this journey to become a professional wrestler is not for himself but for the orphans whom he looks after and cooks for at the orphanage. The movie is basically Jack Black running around with his shirt off for an hour and a half while sporting a fake mustache and a funny Mexican accent. While the majority of the comedy in the film is physical, there are some hilarious lines in the film that are delivered with the right spunk by Black. There are also some great physical scenes in and outside the ring that shows just how great of a physical comedian Black is. The movie is incredibly stupid, but it's also so very funny. If you enjoy pure silly comedy executed perfectly then this movie is just the thing you need. Don't expect another Napoleon Dynamite because this is not a reincarnation of Hess' previous cult hit. He uses the same style of shooting the movie though by using a lot of wide symmetrically balanced shots. Personally, I laughed harder at this then I did with Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon Dynamite had some great one-liners, but Nacho Libre overall is just plain silly fun. Don't take the film seriously at all, just sit back and laugh.
ACTING: This is clearly a one man show, and it's been advertised like that. Jack Black is in every scene of the movie, and he's funny pretty much in every scene. His facial expressions and ability to jump around remind me a lot of Chris Farley. He is incredibly hilarious as Nacho and he gets some great support from Hector Jimenez who plays his sidekick, Esqueleto (directly translates to Skeleton). In fact there are few names in the film that directly translate to funny names in English. I recall one boy's name as Chancho, which means filthy. So, you can basically get the tone of the movie just by the characters' names.
BOTTOM LINE: Lots of fun and lots of physical comedy that takes the right tone so that it is in fact funny in a stupid way. Usually movies like this fall flat and just end up stupid, but the ingrediants were right on this one and I found Nacho Libre pleasently entertaining. I also found the funniest line of the movie to be "get that corn outta my face!"
It's definitely not the best movie that I've seen, but it had it's moments.
The story centers around a man named Ignacio (or Nacho Libre) who grew up in a poor monastery, and later became the chef. He always dreamed of becoming a pro wrestler. He teams up with Esqueleto, a tough and scrawny street urchin, to be his tag-team partner. They lose every wrestling match repeatedly. Even though they lost every match, they still get paid since the crowd loved them. Ignacio uses his money to help feed the orphans.
It's a decent storyline, but it's too drawn out. It was funny in some parts, but not enough to keep me laughing throughout. Definitely not one of Jack Black's best movies.
Overall, this is a movie that you are better off renting.
Nacho Libre is great because fans of Jack Black get to see him in a non R setting. He is charming and funny and is constantly pulling a laugh out of the viewer. Jared Hess, director, does a fantastic job of keeping his stylized sense of humor while still being much different from Napoleon Dynamite. He again had great people working on the music of this movie. The work of Beck and Danny Elfman were so great together. I couldn't help but tap my feet to the music both times I saw this in the theatre. I bought the soundtrack, which has great music, but is also complete with some fun dialog from the film. The movie even has a moral to it for those who want to look past the 13-year old boy humor. This is a light and funny film that is great for a large group of friends who just want to laugh out loud together.
This movie will be released on DVD October 24, 2006. It stars Jack Black as Ignacio but people call him Nacho. He is working at a monastery and a new nun has arrived. The monastery doesn't have much money and tries to deal with the food situation as best as it could. All the kids get are beans and chips to eat - absolutely no flavor. Ignacio always dreamed of being a wrestler when he was young. He had snuck into town as there was a wresting thing going. It was televised and he and the children were identified. he rides this funny looking motorbike. We had seen it that the theatre and can't wait for its release on DVD.

Brenda Konarske tells me her cereus had eight blooms this summer and 12 last summer, and that it loves the 90-degree days. Her cereus was part of her grandmother's plant and she has a photo of her mother in 1947 in Calhoun County, with the plant in the photo.
Carol Pendell of Charleston's West Side said she has a "moon flower" that she's always called "Christ in the Cradle." She called Agriculture Commissioner Gus Douglass' office, and the gentleman she spoke with told her the plant was a native of the Brazilian rain forest. He told her the original plant had a white bloom, but there was also one with a red bloom as well.

Product Info:
Cardamom (Elettaria Cardamomum) is native to India and is an often used spice in many dishes from South Asia.
Fancy Green Cardamom Pods are about 1/2 long and have a fresh green color and pungent, aromatic flavor.
Chewing on Cardamom Pods can calm an upset stomach while sweetening the breath.
After Saffron and Vanilla, Cardamom is the third most expensive spice.
Each pod contains about 20 aromatic seeds.
There are Brown, White and Green Cardamom Pods.
The green is most common and the white pods are simply bleached green pods. The brown pods are not true Cardamom, but come from a related variety.
For best results, buy whole Green Cardamom and remove seeds just before using.
Suggested Use:
Cardamom mixed with ginger, cloves and cinnamon is great in rice pudding, black tea and even in hot chocolate.
The slightly spicy flavor of Cardamom also mixes well into traditional coffee cake recipes.
It is also a great spice for pickling.

Facebook buys facial recognition technology company Face.com
Facebook has acquired facial recognition technology company Face.com for an undisclosed amount of money. Such a deal was rumored to be in the works last month for around $100 million, making Face.com the first post-IPO acquisition by the social networking giant.
Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Face.com was created in 2007 and specializes in facial recognition using photos. The company's KLIK app for smartphones allows users to automatically tag their friends in photos uploaded to Facebook. Third-party tracking software AppData reports that KLIK has 40,000 active monthly Facebook users.
Face.com claims to be serious when it comes to user privacy as they require customers to feed information before they can use the software to recognize faces. Furthermore, only contacts that are on a person's friends list can be recognized and tagged.
"We love building products, and like our friends at Facebook, we think that mobile is a critical part of people's lives as they both create and consume content, and share content with their social graph," said Face.com CEO Gil Hirsch. "By working with Facebook directly, and joining their team, we'll have more opportunities to build amazing products that will be employed by consumers — that's all we've ever wanted to do."
Since Face.com already works closely with Facebook, some feel that the purchase was more of a staff acquisition than anything else. What still remains unclear is how this will affect Yandex, the Moscow-based search engine that purchased an 18.4 percent share of Face.com for $4.3 million in late 2010. They weren't mentioned in the blog post on Face.com regarding the buyout.
Stock in the social networking company is up $1.54 as of writing and nearly $3 since opening trades on Friday. The deal is still pending but is expected to close in the coming weeks.

Ah, Eureka! What an expectation fulfillment. But this is another trash in the limelight. Only god-awful rich kids would buy their time for this. Facebook is becoming a dwindle.
Enjoy, Facebook kids. I'll be far away from that nonsense, shaking my head.
Yep what would facebook been without face recognition or anything else for that mater that has to do with faces or books. Now this is called progress. No the need for face cover. So you can hide. Also face cream so the sun don't burn you. How about face diskize. So you can move undetected. Or as a spy. How about face palm so you can block crazy talk. Any more face jokes?

Definition of Jainism in English:
Syllabification: Jain·ismPronunciation: /ˈjāˌnizəm
- A nontheistic religion founded in India in the 6th century bc by the Jina Vardhamana Mahavira as a reaction against the teachings of orthodox Brahmanism, and still practiced there. The Jain religion teaches salvation by perfection through successive lives, and noninjury to living creatures, and is noted for its ascetics. See also Svetambara and Digambara.More example sentences
- Like my religion of Jainism, Buddhism teaches this practice of patient restraint.
- Jains celebrate the attaining of Moksha (Nirvana, or eternal bliss) by the founder of Jainism, Lord Mahavira.
- Even today Jainism is practiced in many parts of India especially in the State of Gujarat and parts of Karnataka.
- More example sentences
- Buddhists, Jainists, and Hindus all place a great value on personal austerity and are concerned with the final escape from the cycle of birth and rebirth known as reincarnation.
- The Jainists believe that all humans have an eternal soul (or 'Jina') that is capable of reaching spiritual Enlightenment or 'Moksha', by living a spiritual life that is strict and based principally around the virtue of respect for all living forms.
- Jainists are famous for self denial. One group of monks, the Digambaras, does not wear clothes.

NEW MENU FROM FRIDAY 8TH NovemberWelcome to The Gate at Llanfrechfa
01633 861822
The Gate opened on 19th October 2012.
It is operated by Julie & James Dawson.
The pub is open every day from 11am for morning coffee.
The bar is open from Noon serving a variety of Real Ales, Ciders, Wines and Spirits. Fancy something non-alcoholic? We have a wide range of soft drinks, teas and coffees.
We look forward to welcoming you to our traditional country pub and restaurant.
The pub is open for drinks and alcoholic beverages during these hours ...
Monday - Saturday 11am until 11pm
Sunday - 12 Noon until 10.30pm
(Our kitchen is closed on Sunday evenings)
Food is served from Noon each day...
Monday to Friday - 12.00 Noon until 2.30pm & 6.00pm until 9.30pm
Saturday - 12.00 Noon until 9.30pm (All Day)
Sunday Lunch - 12.00 Noon until 5.30pm (Sunday Roast only)
Guests and visitors to The Gate are reminded that Hamish (The Westie) and Maggie Morag (the Scotty) are the Gate's "Mascots" and can often be found greeting guests and befriending themselves to visitors in the bar area. They have become very well know in Llanfrechfa over the last 7 months and many of our guests and visitors look forward to seeing them when they arrive.
We mention this because you may be allergic to dogs or have a problem with them being around the building where you intend to eat. We respect this and will ensure that they are not around to spoil your visit if you give us prior notice.
As a village pub, we believe there is a place for the 'pub dog'. Both are very well behaved and they are not allowed to "mooch around" customers who elect to have snacks or food in the bar area. Even so, we respect that some folks may not want dogs around when they are eating, so a simple word with any of the staff will suffice to have them sent off to the "Staff Quarters" for the deuration of your stay if you wish.

Visiting downtown for the College World Series in TD Ameritrade Park? Planning to check out the Olympic Swim Trials that start June 25 at the CenturyLink Center?
The north edge of Omaha's downtown is ready and happy to welcome all its guests the next few weeks. But let's face it. Walking from parking to your venue or waiting in lines can be, well, boring.
In the past decade, the area between 10th and 14th Streets, Mike Fahey Street on the south and Izard Street to the north, has changed dramatically. Once railroad tracks, weeds and deserted buildings defined it. The face-lift has been amazing.
Several shops and businesses have opened; Film Streams offers movies; Hot Shops has some cutting-edge art and artists' studios. Restaurants, bars and new hotels sit beside older buildings that are being rehabilitated for future use.
And if you just look up or pay attention to what you're passing as you walk, you can spy some architectural or artistic gems.
We stayed within a few blocks of the stadium in all directions to find these. But if you feel like walking a few more blocks, you'll also find the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, Lewis & Clark Landing, Heartland of America Park, the First National Bank sculptures, Gene Leahy Mall and the Old Market shopping and entertainment area.
So as you wander around the stadium and arena, keep your eyes open for some treats.
