The Dirty Little Secrets of Search – "J. C. Penney. The company bested millions of sites — and not just in searches for dresses, bedding and area rugs. For months, it was consistently at or near the top in searches for "skinny jeans," "home decor," "comforter sets," "furniture" and dozens of other words and phrases, from the blandly generic ("tablecloths") to the strangely specific ("grommet top curtains"). This striking performance lasted for months…"
A novel vehicle generates polarizing opinions – "On a frigid morning just before Christmas, Andrew Keefe slipped on a white motorcycle helmet and black jacket, and took a three-wheeled vehicle for a spin along Memorial Drive. Powered by a quartet of batteries, the all-electric "Uno'' starts out as a kind of unicycle, balancing on two back wheels like a dog begging for a treat, then transforms into a more traditional-looking motorcycle, with a wheel on the front and two in the back, which move close enough together to look like a single, wide wheel…."
The Dark-Horse Lab That Just Might Figure Out Fusion – "Everything was ready. The lab's blast walls were up; sheets of Kevlar hung to catch shrapnel; banks of capacitors on the co-opted Air Force experiment primed to unleash 12 million amps of current; X-ray detectors set to snag bursts of photons; bottles of celebratory champagne chilled. If all went as planned, Glen Wurden would be a very happy man, and one experiment closer in his long-shot effort to exploit a nearly limitless source of energy…."
Animal obesity: canary in the coal mine? – "There are a number of factors, both behavioural and environmental, which are thought to play important roles in the current epidemic of obesity. These range from things like increased soft-drink consumption and decreased physical activity, which are at least nominally under our personal control, to more external factors like viruses, light pollution, and environmental contaminants, over which we have little or no control. How much of a role do these external factors play in the obesity epidemic? No one knows. But if these external factors are playing a role in the human obesity epidemic, then we would also expect to see similar increases in body weight and obesity rates among animals who live with or near humans, since they would be exposed to many of these same factors. To this end, a fascinating new paper by Yann Klimentidis and colleagues examines the body weight and risk of obesity in 8 different species, and the results suggest that external factors may be playing a larger role in obesity rates that previously thought…."
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc preview (video) – "The first thing to note is that the Xperia Arc will be shipping globally in March and Sony Ericsson is aiming for the broadest possible operator coverage. Focusing on the handset itself, we've been wildly impressed by its design since first laying eyes on it, there's something fundamentally attractive about the Arc's look, something less tangible than its ridiculously slim profile…."

Vacuum has friction after all – "A BALL spinning in a vacuum should never slow down, since no outside forces are acting on it. At least that's what Newton would have said. But what if the vacuum itself creates a type of friction that puts the brakes on spinning objects? The effect, which might soon be detectable, could act on interstellar dust grains…."

Anonymous Hackers Launch Wikileaks for Normal People – "Last week, the loose-knit hacking collective Anonymous stole over 50,000 emails from security researcher Aaron Barr. Now they're launching the Wikileaks-style Anonleaks.ru, to make it easy for anyone to browse Barr and his colleagues' private emails. Want to read the excruciating love letter a security company executive sent her husband?"
R.I.P. Palm: A History of the Brand that Changed Smartphones and PDAs Forever – "The very first Palm handheld devices came out nearly 15 years ago, in 1996. The Pilot 1000 and Pilot 5000 wowed the world with their 16MHz Motorola processor, 160×160 resolution monochrome LCD touchscreen, and up to 512kB of built-in memory. These "PDAs" (personal digital assistants), and the PalmPilots and Palms that would come after, became popular because of their relatively low prices and ability to easily "HotSync" with computers through a serial cable. Compared to USB connections, serial HotSyncing is downright awkward and archaic, but in the late '90s it was a revolutionary improvement in device-computer connectivity…."
Alternative To Open Heart Surgery – "Interventional cardiologists created an alternative to open heart surgery by developing a mitral valve clip. To alleviate mitral valve regurgitation–a condition where the heart's mitral valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak back into the heart–cardiologists insert a catheter into the patient's groin that travels up into the mitral valve. The clip is fed through this catheter, where it finally grasps and tightens the valves' leaflets–effectively preventing blood from leaking. The clip remains in place while the catheter is removed, the entire procedure taking approximately two hours and recovery a few weeks. The procedure is good for those with weaker hearts, when traditional surgery is more dangerous…."
$1.5M Robbery of Bellagio Casino Foiled Thanks to RFID Chips – "If you're thinking of robbing a Las Vegas casino, and you're not George Clooney, I have a word of advice: give up now. As Anthony Carleo recently found out, even if you leave the casino in one piece, the chips you stole are going to be worthless long before you make your get away. The 29 year old suspect is accused of robbing the Bellagio on December 14th of 2010, stealing chips whose face value totaled around $1.5 million dollars. Their real value, however, was zero. Thanks to RFID tags embedded inside them, the chips with denominations of $100 to $25,000 could be immediately deactivated rendering them unredeemable for cash value. Watch CCTV footage from the December 14th robbery in the video clip below, followed by the recent press conference from the Las Vegas Police concerning Carleo's arrest. Stealing worthless chips and then getting caught trying to sell them to undercover officers? Danny Ocean this guy is not…."

We're in serious danger of becoming a democracy in name only.

A whale of a bad analogy for bandwidth hogs – "Whales, in casino parlance, are the highest of high rollers. They are the super rich who think nothing of dropping a few hundred grand – or a few million dollars – on a single session of their favorite game of chance. The reason casinos give them "free" hotel rooms and lavish extras upon them is not because they are "loyal customers," but because they are – to introduce yet another member of the animal kingdom – cash cows. They don't necessarily show up every weekend, and they may win big once in awhile, but collectively and over time, with gambling being gambling, they are certain to pad the casino's bottom line like no other subset of patrons…."

When my 16-year-old son and his buddies get together at my house, they will often end up playing video games and/or watching YouTube videos. I will wander into the living room periodically to remind them Ś half-jokingly Ś not to watch pornography. ItÆs an ōOh, Dadö moment with my son, but itÆs also a reminder that I want them to behave responsibly.
An old friend of mine reminded me of how important these conversations are when she recently discovered that her 10-year-old daughter had been watching porn on her iPad.Ā Her story got me to wondering how prevalent porn-watching is with children today? I was a little stunned by what I found.
YoungMinds, a British charity with the goal to improve the ōemotional wellbeing and mental health of children and young people,ö recently conducted a study in this area, polling 2,000 people between the ages of 11 and 25. Their findings Āwere startling:
Ś One in three 11-to-14-year-olds have watched online pornography on a tablet or mobile phone.
Ś More than half of 11-to-14-year-olds who had viewed pornography said it affected their relationships.
Ś A quarter of 11-to-14-year-olds said they had viewed pornography with a group of friends.
Ś And, half of the 15-to-17 year olds polled had viewed pornography either on a tablet or phone.
It looks like the days of hiding the Playboy magazine under the mattress are gone.
And, while I think itÆs important to continue reminding 16-year-old boys to behave responsibly on their electronic devices, itÆs clear I also need to pay attention to the behaviors of my two younger daughters.
ThereÆs a certain level of trust that we place in our children, I think, when it comes to this area. But given the ease of access these days, I started thinking about how to best handle this discussion with my kids. ItÆs not a comfortable one to have and The New York Times has an entire section devoted to this area.
One recommendation that seems pretty uniform is that if you have a family computer in the house, there should be some sort of filtering program on it.Ā But what do you do in a multi-device household that includes mobile phones and tablets?
Many programs out there are beginning to account for that reality and will be able to monitor across multiple platforms. Some of the more popular programs include:
ŚĀAVG Family Network ($49.99) | This program cuts across platforms, working on PCs and Macs, as well as , iOS, Android and Windows devices. It bills itself as being able to monitor 60 million web sites and more than 80 social networks. The service can track instant messaging and social network threads, and since a lot of communication between kids these days happens in the social networking space, this is a nice feature.
ŚĀMcAfee Family Protection ($49.99; $74.98 bundled with McAfee antivirus protection) | This program is also compatible across Macs and PCs and the Android and iOS mobile platforms, but the ability to monitor social media behavior is limited.
ŚĀNet Nanny ($39.99; 10 licenses for $79.99) | Net Nanny bills itself as a filter not only for porn sites but also cyber-bullying and online predators. It has been a favorite of viewers for years, mainly because of its ability to analyze pages on a site in real time. Another advantage is the ability to set up separate profiles for each of your children.
ŚĀK9 Web Protection(Free) | The attraction here is, well, itÆs free. This program offers the basics ¢ it blocks offensive content along with malware and spyware, but you are unable to customize based upon a childÆs age.
In the end, though, I think that programs such as these are just one wrench in the toolbox. A few years ago, a Google executive said that parents should not expect legislation Ś or any technological innovation for that matter Ś to take the place of good parenting. And itÆs hard to argue against that.
With all of our devices, itÆs na've to think our children will not come across porn in their daily electronic lives. Whether itÆs on purpose or by mistake is almost beside the point. As parents, we need to be actively monitoring the usage habits of our children by regularly checking the histories on their devices. And, we also donÆt want our daughters and sons basing their self-worth and perspectives on sex off of online porn. ThereÆs no technological solution for dealing with such topics Ś that involves old-fashioned face-to-face communication, and we as parents shouldnÆt shy away from that.

AVA International Publishing is pleased to introduce a new anthology of photographs from award-winning American photojournalist Jay Dunn. Six years in the making, this breathtaking seventy-five page volume is an intimate glimpse into the dizzying array of cultures and traditions in Asia.
"Sadhu's Hand," the 2006 First Prize Winner of National Geographic Traveler's Photo Contest, is only one of the many beautiful images in this book. Hard back with a linen cover, stitched binding, printed on coated paper with full color dust jacket.
"Jay Dunn's photojournalism has always been about the essential human condition. Our ordinary needs, for shelter, for food, for love from the gods we hold high and the smiles of our fellow men, these are subjects not easily documented. Yet Mr. Dunn's photographs are an often unexpected light on the strengths and fragilities we all have in common, struggling to live as one small part of a vast and unpredictable world."

can i study in a mixed university without wearing niqab? (i dont put makeup)
So where will you wear Niqaab?
When you are in girls company you don't have to wear niqaab, you wear niqaab when males are around you. And when you wear Niqaab, you do makeup or not it doesn't matter because when you wear Niqaab who can see your face?
Note: I am not saying you should do makeup when you wear Niqaab.
answered Feb 13 '13 at 14:07 believer ♦ 1.2k●1●6
Asalamualykum dear sister.... Well I think u should go for niqaab cuz in this generation is the world of fitnas and the face plays a vital role. You give it a thought yourself..what is the central part of attraction in us...obvioisly our face..which can even be a difficult trial for our na-mahram brothers..i study in a mixed university too and I find it extremely important to put up a veil on a girl's face.!!..

APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. (AP) - Pinal County authorities have filed misdemeanor assault charges against two 16-year-old boys in an Apache Junction bullying case.
The 13-year-old victim claims he was burned when the bullies used lighters to heat up erasers and touch him on the arms and neck while riding on a school bus to the Apache Junction Boys and Girls Club.
The Cactus Canyon Junior High student reported the incident to his assistant principal March 6.
The boy also claims the two Apache Junction High bullies beat him up for that.
Apache Junction Unified School District officials say the two students were disciplined, but won't say what the punishment was.
City police handed the case over to Pinal County's juvenile prosecutor.
The Associated Press generally doesn't identify juvenile victims or juvenile suspects in alleged crimes.

CATEGORIES Action, Paramount, Box Office, Remakes and Sequels, Cinematical Indie, War, UK Box Office, Cinematical, UK Box OfficeMany here have jokingly called it "that other remake of 'Red Dawn,'" but 'Tomorrow, When the War Began' is its own entity, and a major one at that, at least in Australia where it not only opened at #1 a couple weeks ago but also there became the highest-grossing domestic film not financed by Hollywood. The film, similar to 'Red Dawn', is about a band of high school students defending their country against an invading army. It's based on a series of popular young adult novels by John Marsden and is the directorial debut of Stuart Beattie, best known for co-writing the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movies.
Because of its success Down Under, the 'Tomorrow' franchise will continue with sequels, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Beattie is set to return as writer and director of at least two more films adapted from the seven-book franchise, though nothing has been officially greenlit. While I assume they'll be based on the next two literary titles, 'The Dead of the Night' and 'The Third Day, The Frost' (aka 'A Killing Frost,' to American readers), this is not confirmed. What is known is the two installments will be shot back-to-back and the first film's young stars, including breakout Caitlin Stasey and 'An American Haunting' actress Rachel Hurd-Wood, will reportedly reprise their roles -- unless any die in the original, which even if I knew I wouldn't spoil.
The most we've covered of 'Tomorrow,' sadly, was a look at the trailer back in April. And of course to us it looked like a 'Red Dawn' rip-off. However, the box office and this sequel news has me more intrigued (some commenters had already defended its honor and got me a little interested many months ago). The film currently has no U.S. distributor, yet that should change following its recent screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. I actually don't see why Paramount, who handled the Australian and New Zealand releases, wouldn't also put it out in America.
Now that you've heard of it, do you hope it comes to the States soon?

A Utah man is sentenced to four years and two months in prison after police arrested him for possession and intent to distribute meth.
Rodney Kirk, 46, moved from Spanish Fork, Utah, to Williston in 2011. Shortly after arriving, he began importing meth from Utah and distributing it in North Dakota.
In October of 2011, law enforcement searched Kirk's residence in Williston and found seven ounces of the drug, valuing $15,000 to $20,000 on the street.
After pleading guilty, Kirk faces prison time followed by three years of supervised release.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Williston Police Department and the Northwest Narcotics Task Force.

Jerky[you won't find this at a truck stop]While most beef jerkies are a masticating challenge, the South African version, called biltong, is closer to delicately aged lunchmeat than tough, leathery nuggets. Hanging in mouth-watering hunks behind the counter at European Deluxe Sausage Kitchen on Olympic Boulevard, the biltong is cured in-house and sliced to order (we recommend leaving the fat on). Slightly sweet and perfumed with coriander, the thin ribbons of beef are so addictive, it's easy to see why South African expats flock here for the delicacy. > 310-276-1331.

His Birmingham friend, Wayne Burger, assisted in getting him located in Michigan in 1966.Wayne was the minister of the Church of Christ in Three Rivers, and Kenneth would assist with that work while serving as guidance counselor at White Pigeon High School. Wayne soon left after Kenneth's arrival, and Kenneth assumed the minister's responsibilities there for a time.
In 1968, Kenneth returned to Townley as math teacher and coach at the school and minister at the Townley Church of Christ. He would admit later to being in "way over his head" in all three areas. In 1969, Paul Weeks hired Kenneth as the guidance counselor for Winfield City Schools, a position he held until 1994. In 1988 or thereabouts, Brian Pitts let him do part-time work at WEZQ radio. After retiring from education, Boyd Pate, Jack Mainord and Maxine Harper allowed him the privilege of participating in another of his career interests — local radio. This lasted until shortly after 9/11/2001. Dr. Ken Randolph gave him some local TV experience for a time after that. Kenneth was single until his matchmaking friend and gospel preacher from high school, Levi Sides, had him go to Hill's Chapel on a Wednesday night to meet Judy McNutt Shattuck. He would not introduce them until after the service. That was August 1977, and they were married in March 1978. Judy's young son Leslie was an additional blessing for Kenneth. Michael and Nathan were added to the household making it the Jackson Five or JKLMN Jackson.
In time, Leslie and Tina presented Kenneth and Judy with two precious granddaughters, Chloe and Laci. Kenneth received great support during his almost 11 years of service as an elder with the Winfield Church of Christ. Later Michael and Stacey welcomed Jonah so that our family was now two digits (10) in number. From his early infancy, Kenneth was so blessed that Jonah chose him to be his very first best friend. Kenneth was not too embarrassed that he would seek him out from his crowd of admirers. Kenneth tried to avoid too much jealousy by staying in the background to give the others their time with him. Kenneth just might be bragging. Jonah and Kenneth have spent many wonderful hours together and shared some best memories. He gave Kenneth no option but to ride in the back seat with him and play his games by his rules. During Kenneth's early diagnosis and pain, he got to ride in the back seat with him several times on his way to and from Tree House Pre-School.
Kenneth passed away Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013, at his home.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Leo and Ora Jackson of Townley, Ala.; brother Don Jackson (Billie) of Hillview, Ala., sister, Doris Ensor (G.H.) of Jasper; father-in-law, Cecil "Jeff" McNutt of Burnsville, Miss., and sister-in-law, Jeannette Jackson of Adamsville.
He is survived by his wife of 34 years, Judy McNutt Jackson of Muscle Shoals; sons, Leslie (Tina) Jackson of Muscle Shoals, Michael (Stacey) Jackson of Florence and Nathan Jackson of Gainesville, Ga.; grandchildren, Chloe, Laci, Jonah and expected baby brother Jackson; brother, Leon Jackson of Homewood; sisters, Bernice (Jerry) Pate of Carbon Hil and Sandra Hunt of Carbon Hill; and mother-in-law, Helen McNutt of Burnsville, Miss.
The funeral service will be at noon Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013, at Morrison Funeral Home in Tuscumbia, with visitation from 10 a.m. until noon Saturday before the funeral service. Interment will be at 3 p.m. Saturday in Snowdown Church of Christ Cemetery in Cairo, Miss.
Pallbearers will be Boyd Pate, Jerry Spann, Tracy Estes, Michael Deese, Tim Holt, Larry Davenport, Jonathan Henson, Michael South, Steve Brown and Wayne Chastain.

3.4/5 rDev -6.1%
I tried this at the Midwest Brew Fest in Plainfield. The beer poured clear amber color with slight white head. The smell is oaky and malty with nut and toffee-like toasted aromas and a hint of vanilla and coconut. The body was medium to full with mild carbonation. The tast was malty and slightly sweet with hints of belgium sugar. Overall its a decent beer.

3.53/5 rDev -2.5%
Pours a clear copper color with a solid one finger cream head that dissipates fairly quickly, leaving no lacing.
Aroma is fairly subtle, with oak, vanilla, bourbon, and sweet caramel malt coming to the forefront. There's a hint of herbal hops, as well as heavy alcohol.
Flavor is slightly plastic, phenolic, with a good alcohol kick. Caramel malt forms the backbone, but is dominated by alcohol and citrus hops at the peppery finish. Oak becomes more evident as it warms, adding complexity. Notes of toffee and vanilla surface later.
Body is moderate to thick, with moderately low carbonation and significant alcohol warmth.
Overall, a bit lackluster in flavor. I had hoped for more complexity. It's a good beer, just nothing to write home about. Alcohol is overwhelming.

3.58/5 rDev -1.1%
A: Pours a clear, dark gold with a thin, creamy, lingering white mousse.
S: Aromas of oak, biscuits, caramel, woody spices, and toasted coconut immediately assault the nose.
T: Notes of caramel, biscuits, minerals, hay, straw, woody spices, oak, vanilla bean, heavy cream, and toasted coconut linger for some time in the mouth. The finish is rich and smooth with a pleasant combination of oak, caramel, vanilla, and coconut underscored by mellow alcohol.
M: Medium in body and firm, but also somewhat creamy. Carbonation is gentle and unobtrusive. Alcohol presence is noticeable, but well integrated. Compared to some strong ales, this one is very well-balanced.
O: A very solidly crafted biere de garde. It tends to be a little too heavy on the bourbon barrel flavors for my liking, but I really dig where the brewery was trying to go with this beer. Rock solid, refreshing, and definitely worth a shot.

Served in a snifter at Local Option.
The LO boys knew they had me at "barrel-aged bier de garde". This stuff pours a clear sunrise amber topped by a finger of off-white foam. The nose comprises oak, sweet biscuit, light whiskey, and a touch of Belgian-ish spices (mostly clove). The taste brings in more of the same, with some stronger whiskey, some randomly-placed farmhouse-style wheat and mild funk, and a vein of bland vanilla running through the finish. The body is a straight medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a sorta/kinda drying finish. Overall, a pretty nice beer, but I think the base doesn't meld entirely well with the barrel, or at least not to a good balance point (the barrel tends to dominate a bit here).

Poured from my growler into a tall snifter. Beautiful clear dark gold color. Nice two-finger head and good lacing. Nose is oaky and malty with nut and toffee-like toasted aromas and a hint of vanilla and coconut.
Medium to full body and a nice oily mouthfeel. Soft, sweet malt flavors predominate. Caramel flavors up front are nicely accented by vanilla and faint bourbon tones from the barrel aging. No real booziness or alcohol burn at all. Super smooth and flavorful and just glides across the palate. There is a faint herbal hop kiss on the finish. It's hard to find anything wrong with this. I suppose a tad more hop presence would be nice. It's just a delicious, super-drinkable beer.
I don't have a lot of experience with this style, but I'm reading the style description on bjcp.org and I have to say this beer fits the description nearly perfectly. You must try this beer if you come across it, especially if you like malty beers with a bit of complexity. This is another outstanding beer from ATG; a brewer I'm getting more impressed with all the time. I'm so grateful they distribute kegs to Party Town in Florence, KY.

Afrika's tale—saved from the streets to play on the streets
South Africa team captain Afrika sizes himself up against Internazionale greats at the San Siro in Milan. (© 2009 Christina Ghubril)
Football's powers of resurrection have rarely had a better exemplar than Martin Afrika. The 32-year-old captain for South Africa at the Homeless World Cup, which concluded Sept 13 in Milan, literally has reconstructed his identity through sport.
Before the 2008 tournament in Melbourne, for which he had qualified through an extended culling process in Western Cape, Afrika had to prove his existence to South African authorities in what turned out to be a race against time. It was a race he lost.
Put out of his home at five, imprisoned by 11 and shot four times as a member of one of the so-called number gangs in Clarke's Estate, a "coloured" township in Cape Flats, Afrika bears scars and tattoos from a life shaped by institutionalized violence. Afrika's brother serves in Pollsmoor maximum security prison for having murdered their father. Number gangs, with ties to similar gangs in prisons, have origins in the resettlement of mixed-race populations in Cape Flats under the 1950 Group Areas Act. Generations marginalized by apartheid still pay the cost.
Interview with Afrika, from Cape Town, Sept 17. (21:51) Download »
"He's survived, and I don't know how he's done it," says Linzi Thomas, former film producer and founder of MylifE, a life-skills program for street children. Given Cape Town's postcard setting, that vagrancy and drug use have taken hold among small children comes as a shock. Thomas says she has encountered children as young as seven using crack cocaine.
To help in the rehabilitation process, MylifE early in its work formed a football team. After the 2008 Homeless World Cup trials, Thomas approached Afrika to offer the group's resources, including a place to live.
Afrika credits Thomas and MylifE for bringing him back to football, which is omnipresent in Cape Flats as well as in prisons, where Afrika played 11-a-side. Once selected for the 2008 trials, he stopped using drugs. After spending his energy at football training, he found himself losing desire for alcohol, drugs and the trappings of gangsterism.
Street football, the four-on-four court variant played at the Homeless World Cup, meshes well in a city environment of limited spaces and improvised rules. Matches last 14 minutes. Although the program has yet to become rooted across South Africa, more than 500 now participate weekly in a Western Cape league on 16m-x-22m pitches chalked onto car-park pavement.
David Abrahams, co-director of South African Homeless Street Soccer, emphasizes that players resolve all conflicts during games. Given the confines in street football, play tends to be fast and physical.

Abrahams attracted the program's principal funder, Florida-based From Us with Love, by demonstrating the sport's magnetic appeal in the Cape Town business district. The group's operations manager, Mike Mastrocinque, recalls Abrahams setting up portable goalposts in parking lots. "Before you knew it," Mastrocinque says, "you had matches going on, you had people in the community coming to watch it."

Monmouth County woman pleads guilty in campaign finance scheme
A Monmouth County woman has become the second former employee of an engineering firm that has been paid millions of dollars in public contracts to plead guilty for her role in a scheme to circumvent state campaign finance laws by disguising corporate donations and personal political contributions, authorities said Wednesday.
Eileen Kufahl, 48 of Bradley Beach, was an administrative assistant and later a marketing manager for the firm, Birdsall Services Group of Sea Girt. She pleaded guilty Tuesday in Superior Court in Ocean County to making prohibited corporation contributions through employees, a fourth-degree crime, the state Attorney General's Office announced Wednesday.
In November, the company's former marketing director, Philip Angarone, pleaded guilty to tampering with public records or information, a third-degree crime, and making prohibited corporation contributions through employees, a fourth-degree offense. Angarone faces 364 days in jail and probation, when he is sentenced in April.
The Record reported in 2010 that Birdsall was one of at least six firms with Bergen County contracts that contributed a total of more than $30,000 to Victory 2010, a candidate committee dedicated to the reelection of Bergen County Freeholders James Carroll and Elizabeth Calabrese and the election of John Hogan, all of whom are Democrats. The firms' county disclosure forms omitted the donations.
Carroll, Calabrese and Hogan, who have since left the Freeholder Board, voted to support nearly every contract resolution for the firms that came before them, The Record's investigation found.
More recently, Birdsall was one of four consultants on an innovative but controversial Passaic County project to install solar panels on public buildings. North Arlington hired the firm last year to analyze soil samples at its youth baseball field after Hurricane Irene.
In September, Birdsall submitted a $56,000 proposal to remediate contamination at a former public works depot in West Milford.
A third employee, former Executive Vice President Thomas Rospos, faces a pending indictment related to the case, the Attorney General's Office said in a statement Wednesday. He is charged with conspiracy, making face representations for government contracts, misconduct by a corporate official and money laundering.
Like Angarone, Kufahl admitted that she and other Birdsall employees made political contributions under $300, which is the threshold for reporting them to the state. The employees' checks would then be bundled together and sent to political campaigns and organizations, according to the Attorney General's Office.
Angarone and Kufahl admitted that Birdsall would then illegally reimburse the employees for their contributions in the form of additional bonus payments. In Kufahl's case, Rospos allegedly reimbursed her and was then repaid by Birdsall, the Attorney General's Office said.
Had Birdsall made the contributions directly, state pay-to-play laws would have disqualified the company from public contracts.
Kufahl and Angarone also admitted that the firm would omit the reimbursements in documents it filed with the state Election Law Enforcement Commission and with the governments and public agencies that awarded the firm contracts, the Attorney General's Office said.
Under a plea agreement Kufahl must forfeit $17,119, which represents the political contributions she made under the scheme. Kufahl also must cooperate with investigators and testify at any resulting prosecutions as part of her plea agreement.
The state will recommend that she be sentenced to probation. Ocean County Superior Court Judge Wendel E. Daniels scheduled her sentencing for June 7.

The Giants didn't score in the seventh inning, and neither did the Tigers.
In the top of the eighth, Marco Scutaro led off and Octavio Dotel walked him and Orel Hershiser said, Let the adventure begin: the Tiger bullpen.
Sounds like the first in a series of action movies starring Antonio Banderas, doesn't it? Or maybe Benicio del Toro?
Jim Leyland, even with Phil Coke and Joaquin Benoit getting loose in the bullpen, stuck with Dotel. It was 43 degrees and it was raining and Dotel probably didn't know he was signing up for this last winter. But he somehow got Pablo Sandoval to hit a chopper straight to Prince Fielder, who stepped on first base before getting Scutaro caught in a rundown; eventually Dotel himself applied the tag.
And Dotel's best was still to come, as he struck out Buster Posey swinging to end the Giants' inning.
In the bottom of the eighth, Jeremy Affeldt replaced Giants starter Matt Cain, who threw 102 pitches and gave up two home runs.
Oh, and the score's still 3-3...

Liberty Series: Statue, Bell set for clash
Yankees-Phillies offers host of intriguing angles

DENVER -- Chipper Jones is willing to provide any advice or motivation Mariano Rivera might want, as the Yankees closer spends the next few months attempting to prove he can return from the significant knee injury he suffered while shagging fly balls in batting practice on Thursday night.
Less than 24 hours after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the 42-year-old Rivera has already said he will make every attempt to pitch again. The 40-year-old Jones delivered a similar message shortly after learning he had torn the ACL in his left knee for a second time on Aug. 10, 2010.
"I feel for anybody who blows an ACL, because your year is over," Jones said. "You're looking best-case scenario at five or six months. It's a shame, because Mo and I are coming down to the end. I doubt very seriously that he's thrown his last pitch. But you hate to cheat the fans from getting to see a guy like that pitch. "I wish him the best. If he needs any advice, I've been through it."
As a frustrated Jones watched the Braves participate in the 2010 playoffs without him, he remained motivated by the goal to be ready by the start of the following Spring Training. That helped him get through the rough days which followed as he rehabbed during the winter months.
Rivera's injury will likely prove to be season ending. But Jones said he will not be surprised if the veteran closer manages to prepare himself for the possibility of pitching for the Yankees during the playoffs.
"There's a lot of rehab involved," Jones said. "But with his work ethic, I think we all know he'll be ahead of schedule. If there is any possibility of coming back by the end of the season, I think Mo could probably do it."
Some of the concerns about Jones' return centered around the fact that he had also torn his left ACL before the start of the 1994 season. But most of the discomfort he felt last year came courtesy of the torn meniscus in his right knee.
Jones missed a little more than two weeks in July after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair the meniscus. He was forced to undergo the same procedure on his left knee before the start of this season, and he has dealt with regular discomfort over the past couple of weeks.
But Jones has still provided significant value when he has been able to play this year. His walk-off home run in the 11th inning of Wednesday's thrilling win over the Phillies only solidified his belief that he made the right decision to return after suffering the significant knee injury two years ago.
"I felt cheated the last two months of the season, because I was playing good baseball at the time," Jones said. "I'm sure [Rivera] feels the same way, like he got cheated out of the last five months of the season. Nobody wants their last image to be of getting carted or carried off the field and have that be it. I know where he is coming from."

Koestler, Arthur (1905-1983) A prominent political novelist and science writer, Arthur Koestler was born in Hungary and became a British subject in 1945. He became world famous upon the publication of his best-known work, Darkness at Noon, in 1941.
In 1972, he brought out The Roots of Coincidence, a startling book in which he ascribed some sort of psychic significance to remarkable examples of chance, apparently unable to believe that these were mathematically possible and also inevitable. He began to believe in ESP because he saw in the developing modern ideas of the sciences——mainly quantum physics with its almost-mystical view of the universe——the possible admission of otherwise unthinkable notions that were being put forward by parapsychological theorists. He wrote:
The apparent absurdities of quantum physics . . . make the apparent absurdities of parapsychology a little less preposterous and more digestible.
Dr. Koestler died in a double suicide with his wife, Cynthia, in 1983. He had been suffering from leukemia and Parkinson's disease, while his wife was in apparently good health.

It is rare for an educator to reach great heights of popularity and acclaim, but Dr. Janice Hale has earned every stripe of fame. As an internationally-renowned scholar, Dr. Hale is no stranger to controversies surrounding her work and theories. No other than Rev. Dr. Jeremiah E. Wright Jr. acknowledged her in his, much-talked about, speech in Detroit earlier this year. Wright celebrated Dr. Hale as someone we owe "a debt of gratitude." [...]
YourBlackWorld.com recently had the esteemed opportunity to engage Dr. Janice Hale in dialogue on a wide array of topics. Included in the conversation were issues surrounding the recent selection of Arne Duncan as Sec. of Education, problems confronting Black students, the ISAAC program, Early Childhood education and more. As one never known for mincing words, Dr. Hale took no prisoners as she expressed her feelings about Bill Cosby… Excuse me, Dr. Bill Cosby, modern-day Civil Rights Organizations, Oprah Winfrey, and the public/private school system. Get your pens and pads ready. Class is in session:
Thanks for being with us, Dr. Hale. To kick things off, how did it feel being snubbed for the Sec. of Education position, which you lobbied so tenaciously for?
*Laughs* That's so funny. I don't feel snubbed about that. What I feel snubbed about is that, I feel in my book "Learning While Black," I really provide solutions for what is wrong with education and how to fix African-American education, and I don't feel my solutions have gotten any attention. [...]
Based on the selection of Arne Duncan – who holds a bachelor's in Sociology – as Sec. of Education, what is incumbent upon Black folks in pushing an agenda that would improve learning conditions of Black students?

As the HELIOtrope evolved over the past few years, frequently shifting between the front burner to the back shelf, it has seen many forms and iterations. Through the process, the goal has remained constant; create a highly visible urban landmark for cycling infrastructure and allow the mundane storage component of cycle facilities to depart from the ground plane. Ideally when navigating a new city or new part of town, the bike lanes and cycle tracks should be easy to find. Painted lanes while helpful for defining space for motorists, are not exceptionally helpful for off-route stranded cyclists. Therefore, a wayfinding pylon, nodallly linked with mass transit, could be instrumental in defining cycle infrastructure. In a post 9-11 world, transparency is essential on all scales of urban design. The bike locker, while effective and compact, may soon become, not dissimilar to the phone booth, a relic of the past. The result of this shift means that new storage solutions will be singular parking volumes controlled with secure access. As real estate adjacent to mass transit comes at a premium, a solution that goes up and not out is the best. With this approach, as storage capacity grows, so too does visibility.
Initially the design began as a 'bike tree,' in that the intended purpose was for the standard bicycle. As the success of bike-share programs grew and the ZIPcycle design came into focus (see previous post), the HELIOtrope became a dispensary for a ZIPcycle sharing program. However, the intent here is for storage of privately owned traditional bicycles as well as a ZIPcycle component. In the most ideal scenario however, energy generation would be linked over the rail through induction to batteries powering electric assist ZIPcycle drivetrains. When a HELIOtrope is empty or vehicle batteries are full, through a grid tie approach, energy could be delivered to the surrounding grid.
While the whimsical nature nature of bike storage becoming the dry cleaning rack of the urban street-scape cannot be undermined, the form is derived from the ubiquitous street tree. As an ellipse connected to a vertical line is the common abstracted sketch for a tree, the HELIOtrope is the metaphor for the tree. To continue this thought, so too do the photovoltaic cells dispersed across the anticlastic ETFE membrane dapple light and generate energy as a leaf does. Of course this abstraction could be continued to absurdity, as bikes growing on trees... beyond the tree, the structure is not dissimilar from the rim of a bicycle, albeit a 'tacoed' or bent rim. A metal rim held in tension in this case by a membrane and not spokes and hub. The kinetic nature of shuffling bicycles across a spline and a slow but consistent rotation to follow the movement of the sun is ultimately appropriate to its intended purpose; the motion based nature of active transit.

One of the worst parts about getting older is the no-Santa kind of realization that scouting isn't a glamourous job. It should be, dang it. Watching baseball game after baseball game in short-sleeve shirts, wielding a radar gun, and divining the secrets of the sport with a well-trained eye. Sounds pretty sweet. The reality is an unbelievable amount of travel and little pay.
And in the digital age, when scores of videos of every single player in baseball can be streamed to every iPad in a clubhouse, it would seem like there's a little bit of overlap between what scouts and the IT department can provide. The Baltimore Orioles took a bold step on Friday, according to Ken Rosenthal, reassigning six of their eight pro scouts to the amateur scouting department.
"As you get more video and statistical analysis on a player, the longer they're in professional baseball, it's not as vital to have them seen by eyes, professional eyes," (Orioles GM Dan) Duquette said. "Players establish a record of their work."
It sounds like something that someone on rec.sport.baseball would have proposed in 1998 -- "Why do we even need scouts?" -- but it's not like Duquette is a radical new GM who is going to use only stats in his analysis. For one thing, those GMs don't exist. For another, Duquette has been in baseball since 1980, when he was a scouting assistant with the Milwaukee Brewers. He came up in scouting. This likely wasn't a decision he or the Orioles took lightly.
It's always amusing to read that teams are scouting players like Mark Teixeira and Carlos Beltran at the trading deadline. As if there's a scout behind home plate writing, "Say, this guy is good!" while underlining "good" three times. But they've traditionally looked for things like mechanical flaws and quirks that stats might not pick up -- the loop in a swing that might be the difference between a player crushing 88-m.p.h. fastballs in AAA and not catching up to faster offerings in the majors.
That's a gross oversimplification, of course, but once the sabermetric pendulum swung back from one extreme, it became somewhat of a truism that scouts can pick up what the stats can't catch, and there was an Inherit the Wind-kind of meshing of the two.
The Orioles are gambling, though, that two scouts are all they'll need. And it's not like this is for the major-league advance scouts -- this is mostly for their minor-league scouting, according to Rosenthal. If the Orioles decide to put Nick Markakis on the trading block, for example, they'll have to rely a lot on video and stats to sift through potential packages of minor-league players.
It's, as Keith Law has been tweeting, essentially a demotion for the six reassigned scouts. I have no idea what kind of widespread video access professional organizations have access to -- can Dan Duquette get a high-quality video of a Montgomery Biscuits game with just a couple hours' notice? Can he at least get me a hat? C'mon, Dan, I want a Biscuits hat.
If he can get that kind of media quickly, it's still a bold move, even if only because it's such a drastic chance. If he can't get that kind of media quickly, it's an even bolder move -- something completely against the orthodoxy of The Church of Baseball.
Here's the true test of whether or not this works: Will the Orioles be good in 2012? If not, it was probably the lack of scouting that was to blame. Watch vigilantly for this.
Sarcasm aside, it's going to be hard to quantify the effects of this. Time will tell if the Orioles are ahead of the curve, or if they're being shortsighted and overconfident in the technology of 2012.

iPhone 5S fingerprint sensor to be called Touch ID?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Rumors
The folks at Nowhereelse.fr have got their hands on a purported iPhone 5S illustrated guide, which indicates that the new fingerprint sensor that is rumored to be embedded into the Home button will be referred to as the Touch ID sensor by Apple. Of course, until it's officially announced by Apple, we're chalking it up as a rumor, but as far as Apple naming conventions go, Touch ID sounds pretty Apple-esque. We'll know more in just over an hour, so keep it locked here--today is gonna be a big news day.

Select Route:
This is another Colorado Classic. It is a great single pitch of pure ice, and it is often chandeliered in the early season.
4 to 6 long ice screws will usually do it. A single 60 meter rope will get you down.
Toprope Protection
There are some slings around brush on the climber's left on top. Bring something long (15') to extend the anchors & reduce rope drag. To get to the top, hike up on the climber's left, then traverse back to the creek bed.
Per claramie: park on the downhill side of the Redstone Inn. Walk down that road, past the gate that says "private road / no trespassing". Walk the road for 5 or 10 minutes then turn left when you see the old T-bar ski lift. Walk uphill under that eventually following a creek drainage east to the climb.

When Jason Zacher set out on his long-distance run this weekend, he wasn't thinking about how difficult it would be. He was thinking about the people he would be helping.
On Saturday, Zacher laced up his glow in the dark running shoes for a 100-mile trip to benefit two charities. He hit the road early that morning in Portland, hoping to make it to Lincoln City in just under 24 hours.
His efforts were inspired by a 52-mile run he did last year for the American Cancer Society. This year Zacher doubled his efforts, running 100 miles for two charities, calling it "Angels Flight 100."
"I go into this honestly running over 26 twice in my life," Zacher said. "So it's definitely a whole different ball game."
Zacher arrived in Lincoln City 23 hours after leaving Portland. The run was mostly dry, he said. He only got rained on once.
Zacher raised money through his Facebook page for Lincoln City's Angels Anonymous, a nonprofit that helps families in need pay for utility bills, food and clothing. The money he raised will also go to help The Salvation Army Veterans and Family Center in Beaverton, which needs a new wheelchair ramp.

Oxford Utd caretaker boss hopeful of signings
6:00am Thursday 30th January 2014 in Sport By David Pritchard , Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
OXFORD United caretaker manager Mickey Lewis is hopeful of strengthening the squad before tomorrow night's transfer deadline.
Bolstering a forward line which has netted just twice in the last five games is still the priority before the 11pm deadline, but there is also a problem at the other end of the pitch.
Michael Raynes came off with a hip injury in Tuesday night's goalless draw at Exeter City and will be assessed today.
It is a particular issue, coming hot on the heels of Jake Wright being ruled out for at least a month with a deep cut picked up in Saturday's 1-0 win over Torquay United.
Although David Hunt and Tom Newey have filled in successfully at times this season, Lewis admitted it was "a little bit of a worry" and was planning to speak to Ian Lenagan. The chairman made it clear on Saturday there was money available to bring in up to two strikers and a midfielder.
And Lewis remains upbeat that deals can be tied up before the window shuts.
He said: "We're still working on it. I said last week that sometimes it can be frustrating and takes a lot longer than people imagine.
"There are a lot of avenues to go through, but hopefully yes."
* UNITED's Oxfordshire Senior Cup quarter-final match against Thame United was postponed last night due to a waterlogged pitch.
7-2 Mickey Lewis, 4-1 Martin Allen, 5-1 Aidy Boothroyd, 11-2 Paul Tisdale, 8-1 Sean O'Driscoll, 12-1 Dean Saunders.

Not Enough Cohesion
And the reason for this is that Kevin has the sound and spirit of an indie artist. And when layers of production and other performers are added to the album, they take away somewhat from the purity of the music. A perfect example is the overproduced track "Can't Get Enuff," a song about a hot woman featuring rapper Shorty Da Kid. Overall, there's not enough cohesion between the singer's voice and the backing instrumentation, part of which is the fault of Kevin himself, whose voice is higher and softer than your typical Soul singer, but more soulful than your average R&B or pop singer.
Among the songs that do work are the ones tucked away on the second half of the album, including soaring midtempo love song 'Ain't Got You," the fast-n-funky "Stone Cold Killa" and the sexual, Prince-soundalike track "Liquid Lava Love." If the album's executive producers had been more concerned with creating songs that enhance the singer's talent instead of bombarding the listener with overproduced sounds, this could have been a much better album.

vacation rental description
Live the relaxing beach life in our ocean-front cottage on PEI's Northumberland Strait, which has the warmest ocean waters north of South Carolina!!
Our wonderful summer home is situated on 4 private acres directly on the water's edge with a beautiful red sand beach and warm, shallow waters, with spectacular long-range views of Egmont Bay, Cape Egmont lighthouse, Mont Carmel cathedral, the Confederation Bridge, and the distant shore of New Brunswick.
The cottage is newly renovated and is turn-key with all needed equipment provided… you only need to bring food, beverages, personal items, and consumables for a great time!
The beach is composed of very fine, soft, red sand, with virtually no rocks or pebbles after the shoreline. June-August the water temperature often is in the high 70's (~24-25 C) meaning you can spend all day wading and swimming in the water without getting blue lips or chattering teeth. The shallow waters extend out for hundred and feet, at which point they are still only waist-deep, making the beach perfect (and safe) for young children.
There is an extensive lawn around the cottage for kids to run around and play games.
There are stairs leading down to the beach from the lawn for easy access by young and old alike.
