Iran claims that Rovio Entertainment's wildly popular mobile game is actually a sneaky way to undermine their nation.
Kabir News reported that Iran's Foundation of Computer Games issued an announcement that they filed a complaint with Rovio over one of the episodes in Angry Birds Space.
The foundation claims that level 9 and level 10 of the "Fry Me to the Moon" episode were designed to inspire "anti-Iran sentiments" in its players by making Iranian symbols and icons targets in the game. Specifically, they claim that the pigs' fortress on level 9 is shaped to look like the nation of Iran and level 10 includes a building that looks like Tehran's Milad Tower.
The foundation is awaiting a response from Robio for a "formal explanation" to these allegations. Rovio has not issued a response.

By James DeTar, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
Right now, stocks are mostly lumps of coal, but if market conditions improve, there are a number of companies that investors may have on their holiday wish list.
The IBD 50, which includes the very best stocks based on fundamental and technical factors, is a great place to scout out a watch list.
Here are the top five IBD 50 stocks poised to do well on Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.
View Enlarged Image
Michael Kors (KORS)
This high-end fashion leader, which went public last December, reported better-than-expected quarterly sales and profit last Tuesday as it expanded in Europe.
But Kors cautioned that economic uncertainty made the outlook for the current holiday quarter iffy.
Shares surged 3.8% to 50.32 Friday. The stock ended the week down a fraction after finding support near its 200-day moving average. But Kors remains below its 50-day line, breaking decisively below that key level on Nov. 8.
Visa (V)
The No. 1 credit card company, which went public in March 2008, has posted double-digit profit and sales growth every period since third-quarter 2009. Visa said Friday it's received a letter from the Federal Trade Commission requesting information on a debit card that may have violated Dodd-Frank regulations.
Still, Visa rose 1.9% to 142.71 Friday. The stock remains near a record high. Its relative strength line, which charts the stock vs. the S&P 500, has risen to a new high.
Lululemon Athletica (LULU)
The colorfully named yoga and athletic apparel maker has a 92 Composite Rating. Although it's still putting up hefty numbers, profit growth has slowed this year from 59% to 52% to 31% last quarter. For the current quarter, analysts expect a bump up to 37% growth. Anything less is likely to cause concern.
Lulu closed up 3.3% at 68.02 on Friday. But the stock remains below its 200-day moving average, and is still in a two-month downturn.
PetSmart (PETM)
The country's largest pet food, supplies and services chain has more than 1,240 stores nationwide. Value-added services like grooming and training have enabled it to record double-digit profit growth 10 quarters in a row. Sales grew at a steady, upper-single-digit rate during that period.
Last quarter, profit jumped 50% to 75 cents a share on a 9% sales hike, to $1.63 billion. Both numbers topped Wall Street expectations.
Shares fell fractionally Friday after popping 4% on its quarterly results. The stock is trading just below its 50-day moving average.
MasterCard (MA)
Rounding out the top five is Visa's close rival, MasterCard. During the holidays, consumers usually turn to plastic for purchases, although electronic payments via smartphones and the like are starting to take off.
MasterCard's growth has recently lagged that of Visa, with its earnings and sales growth slowing for the past four quarters.
But shares advanced 1.6% to 464.59 on Friday, moving back above the 50-day line. The stock is still near its old highs.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- CAF –development bank of Latin America– signed agreements with three Mexican investment funds to promote SMEs, as part of a strategic alliance with NAFIN and other Mexican development banks. Funding recipients are Mexico Fund of Funds II, Adobe Social Mezzanine Fund I and Evercore Mexico Capital Partners Fund III, in which CAF will make equity investments.
For 18 years, Mexico has been pursuing a policy of promoting entrepreneurship, venture capital and SMEs, all areas in which CAF has vast experience in Latin American countries.
The three agreements were signed during CAF President Enrique Garcia's official visit to Mexico City, where he attended the inauguration of Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Garcia said CAF's participation in investment funds is part of the institution's policy of supporting SMEs in Mexico and Latin America. "This activity has a positive impact on economic growth, as this type of capital investment promotes the creation of new businesses, new products and services, jobs and the emergence of entrepreneurs," he said.
Equity investment in Mexico Fund of Funds II
The first agreement to be signed was on CAF's equity investment in Mexico Funds Fund II, which will be managed by Corporacion Mexicana de Inversiones de Capital (CMIC), formed by Nacional Financiera, Banobras, Bancomext and FOCIR, and whose mission is to promote investments in venture capital in Mexico.
The agreement was signed by CAF President Enrique Garcia; Nacional Financiera Director General Hector Rangel; and CMIC Director General Felipe Vila. The signing ceremony was attended by officials from the Ministry of Finance and NAFIN.
CAF will invest $40 million and will have a seat on the fund's investment committee. This is intended to encourage the growth of venture capital funds in Mexico, often overlooked by independent investment managers.
The fund of funds' structure will allow the issuance of certificates of deposit, in which Mexican pension funds, AFORES, can purchase.
Once it reaches its maximum size, the fund will become a catalyst for direct investments of more than $550 million in companies, as well as Mexican and Latin American projects with high development potential. Mexico Fund of Funds II will become a benchmark investor in the national market and will help maintain the high growth rate of the Mexican economy, as well as promote the implementation of international best practices in sustainability and corporate responsibility.
In addition to the equity investment, CAF also will contribute with its know-how in the management of venture capital funds in Latin America. It will also support the implementation of best practices in social and environmental protection.
Equity investment in Evercore Mexico Capital Partners III
The second agreement was the $10 million equity investment in the Evercore Mexico Capital Partners Fund III. The fund will focus on investing in companies with high growth potential and provide goods and / or services to the Mexican domestic market. This is the third Mexican fund to be managed by the Evercore firm, expecting to repeat its previous funds' success, which, among other investments, supported the development of flagship companies such as Volaris, Morepharma, Ike Assistance, Lipu Transporte. The fund will be a catalyst for direct equity investments of up to $150 million.
The agreement was signed by CAF President Enrique Garcia, Evercore Mexico CEO Pedro Aspe, and Fund Executive Director Alfredo Castellanos.
Equity investment in Adobe Social Mezzanine Fund I
The third agreement was CAF's $2 million equity investment in Adobe Social Mezzanine Fund I.
Adobe Social Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. is a venture capital and technical assistance fund that will make equity investments or buy subordinated debt in small companies or those in their early stages of growth, with a social and environmental focus. This fund seeks to support the early growth of companies offering products and services that have significant impact and improve the quality of life of a large number of people, with particular emphasis on underserved communities.
CAF's participation in Adobe Social Mezzanine Fund I will enable the Latin American financial institution to indirectly reach small and medium enterprises in Mexico, to help these companies grow with capital, advice, networking, management experience, best practices and other added value products offered by the Fund.
In addition to CAF's representative, the agreement was signed by Erik Wallsten, managing partner of Adobe Capital, Felipe Vila, representative of Mexico Ventures I and Gerardo Ramos, head of research and investment management at Promotora Social Mexico.

Hardware will never be more valuable than on the day it hits your loading dock. Each day new servers are not deployed to production the business is losing money. While Moore's Law is typically cited to explain the exponential density growth of chips, a critical consequence of this is rapid depreciation of servers. The hardware for clustered systems (e.g., Hadoop, OpenStack) tends to be significant capital expenses. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Mason Katz, CTO and co-founder of StackIQ, to discuss how infrastructure teams should be aware of the capitalization and depreciation model of these expenses to fully understand when and where automation is critical.

Over the last few years the healthcare ecosystem has revolved around innovations in Electronic Health Record (HER) based systems. This evolution has helped us achieve much desired interoperability. Now the focus is shifting to other equally important aspects – scalability and performance. While applying cloud computing environments to the EHR systems, a special consideration needs to be given to the cloud enablement of Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture (VistA), i.e., the largest single medical system in the United States.

Most of today's hardware manufacturers are building servers with at least one SATA Port, but not every systems engineer utilizes them. This is considered a loss in the game of maximizing potential storage space in a fixed unit. The SATADOM Series was created by Innodisk as a high-performance, small form factor boot drive with low power consumption to be plugged into the unused SATA port on your server board as an alternative to hard drive or USB boot-up. Built for 1U systems, this powerful device is smaller than a one dollar coin, and frees up otherwise dead space on your motherboard. To meet the requirements of tomorrow's cloud hardware, Innodisk invested internal R&D resources to develop our SATA III series of products. The SATA III SATADOM boasts 500/180MBs R/W Speeds respectively, or double R/W Speed of SATA II products.

As more applications and services move "to the cloud" (public or on-premise) cloud environments are increasingly adopting and building out traditional enterprise features. This in turn is enabling and encouraging cloud adoption from enterprise users. In many ways the definition is blurring as features like continuous operation, geo-distribution or on-demand capacity become the norm. NuoDB is involved in both building enterprise software and using enterprise cloud capabilities. In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Seth Proctor, CTO at NuoDB, Inc., will discuss the experiences from building, deploying and using enterprise services and suggest some ways to approach moving enterprise applications into a cloud model.

Cloud and Big Data present unique dilemmas: embracing the benefits of these new technologies while maintaining the security of your organization's assets. When an outside party owns, controls and manages your infrastructure and computational resources, how can you be assured that sensitive data remains private and secure? How do you best protect data in mixed use cloud and big data infrastructure sets? Can you still satisfy the full range of reporting, compliance and regulatory requirements? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Derek Tumulak, Vice President of Product Management at Vormetric, will discuss how to address data security in cloud and Big Data environments so that your organization isn't next week's data breach headline.

Enterprises require the performance, agility and on-demand access of the public cloud, and the management, security and compatibility of the private cloud. The solution? In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Simone Brunozzi, VP and Chief Technologist(global role) for VMware, will explore how to unlock the power of the hybrid cloud and the steps to get there. He'll discuss the challenges that conventional approaches to both public and private cloud computing, and outline the tough decisions that must be made to accelerate the journey to the hybrid cloud. As part of the transition, an Infrastructure-as-a-Service model will enable enterprise IT to build services beyond their data center while owning what gets moved, when to move it, and for how long. IT can then move forward on what matters most to the organization that it supports – availability, agility and efficiency.

Normally I do a reflections blog then a Resolutions blog, but I have a big resolution this year. One run a month. This coming from someone who still hasn't completed the C25.
So clearly I must complete the C25 while doing this.
This is what I have thus far:
December 31st : Resolution Run Sacramento, CA
appropriate, I think. My oldest and T may walk this with me. Or I just may run and meet them at the finish line. LOL
January 22nd: Whole Foods Running School, Roseville CA
I don't know which run to do on this one...go big at 13.1 or medium...hmmm.
February 12th is a 5K in Auburn CA....It's a CHOCOLATE RUN!! When i mentioned this to my girls I ended up paying $77 in registration fees...what girls will do for chocolate!! LMAO
March of course will be a Shamrock run. in Folsom
April pages wouldn't pull up yet...but I know I saw a couple...
May: Bay to Breakers, San Francisco
Did it last year and can't wait to go again! 1st "run" I've ever done!!
June: TBD
July has the Color Run. Either July 8th in Seattle but more than likely July 28th in San Francisco.
August: TBD
September: Miners Ravine run (no details yet)
but Sept 28-30th at Lake Tahoe there are some events too I may consider...oooooh. There'd be a reason for Lake Tahoe!!!
October: TBD (either a pumpkin run or...)
November had a few but my interest went to Apple Hill Harvest run :o) Another place I've wanted to go since we've been here...but there are some Turkey trots (I always think of turkey poop) to check out too...
and back to December...
I've also joined the iRocklinrun group on Facebook which I guess also do one run a month so if I absolutely can't afford anything or just want an extra boost...
There it is....Now to commit.
Actually. Now to clean the test site once known as my apartment from the baking fiesta for Christmsa!!
That and I drew a writer's blank....Oh Oh!! T is picking me up to register at 24 hour fitness. He's really trying. I had told him even if we got back together I would never marry again LOL...it was a harsh conversation to say the least, but I dunno...we'll see.
Happy Holidays!!
Oh, I will have photos of the fam here next time I get on...
Now, really...that's all.
"Remember how I said I�d rather be with someone for the wrong reasons than alone for the right ones? I�d rather be right. It�s gonna feel good to stand on my own.�
Amanda Jones, Some Kind of Wonderful (1987)
I had originally anticipated going through the Biggest Loser cookbook. But somehow during the move it broke. I'm serious...the book just fell apart and broke. I will have to buy a new one.
Until then I have ventured on the challenge of cooking "without pretty pictures" and instructions via Spark Nutrition Tracker. I must say, I love the gorcery list as this makes life a breeze. I have also noticed that it is best to wrap your head around "tomorrow's" meal rather than find out that the meal takes 4 hours when dinner is served in less than one.
Today's Spark menu was pretty good. Breakfast was "supposed" to be an oat bran bagel (1 slice) with butter, strawberries and milk and coffee...
I read "coffee"
but, as I am learning to eat breakfast again I bought the Sara Lee's Everything bagel and as I still gag at the thought of butter on my bagel I put on Laughing Cow's Garlic and herb wedges (35 calories a pied...less than the 105 tablespoon of Philly f.y.i.)
I didn't take a pic as I thought it was pretty self explanatory.
Lunch: Spark says "cottage Cheese; Peanut butter Sandwich; carrots with Russion Dressing; Apple; Water with Lemon.
again it was pretty self explanatory. I made the creay peanut butter on ONE slice of bread, cottage cheese and ate some veggies but I don't know what the heck Russian Dressing is so I left that alone. and I didn't do lemon in my water either. These things would normally send me into a frenzy (I know, crazy right?) as it's like a missing puzzle piece. But, I'm moving on here.
Dinner....oh sweet dinner. I've been looking forward to making this today.
Chicken Marsala atop Whole Wheat Spaghetti; Broccoli; Cottage Cheese Topped Pineapple; Herbal Tea
I printed out the recipe for the chicken marsala and it looked pretty easy. I thought a nice salad with broccoli would be good too. So we went to work.
First you brown the chicken, set aside (easy, got it) as the recipe called for lemon juice in the stock and I had lemon olive oil, I just browned the chicken in lemon olive oil....
set aside the chicken and make the sauce....don't panic!! As my girls didn't even want the IDEA of marsala wine in their sauce I just doubled the broth.
Looking good so far, right?
My Nikki helping me with the salad...and at this time I had the whole wheat spaghetti boiling in a pot.
Now, I let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes and then added the chicken back in and let it sit and simmer for about another 10 or so minutes.
At this time Nikki says to me "I need a plate for tonight's cheer social...serving about eight people" I looked at her. Really? How did I not know this.
Cheer got my marsala and a salad. LOL I did "taste" some of it...daaaang it's good
When I dropped off the food I was nervous, but then I was well...surprised There were boxes and boxes of pizza, desserts, and more pizza boxes...crazy! So, hopefully people don't get too "put off" by my healthy choice of dinner. LOL
OHOHOH!! I have received several request on the recipe of Spaghetti Tacos. Okay, Here's the deal. The show iCarly did like this 15 second thing where Spencer mentions they are having spaghetti tacos for dinner. It took off!! Kids all over the US start wanting spaghetti tacos....even mine. So, are you ready?
crunch taco shells
spaghetti of your choice (mine prefer alfredo sauce, show calls for meat sauce)
put spaghetti in warmed taco shells
**from iCarly.com**
anyhows, Nikki and I walked today as it was beautiful. 30 minutes worth up to the store and back...why drive when you can walk? and after I make ANOTHER chicken marsala dinner for US, I will finish painting the living room.
and maybe laundry. maybe.
Until then, I shall hopefully chat with you tomorrow. I've got to think of some goodies for Christmas dinner...so far I'm in charge of stuffed mushrooms and a couple of pumpkin rolls...I think I need a veggie tray !! LOL
Herbal Tea, 1 cup (8 fl oz)
today I thought I would begin trying out some of the Spark foods on the tracker. I had avoided this before because I am a "straight from the recipe" visual type of person. When there are no pictures and step by step instructions of how to eat my foods, I get turned off pretty easy.
However, seeing as I've been on stage one for nearly two years, I thought I would try this out.
So, i went waaaaay over calorie intake today and I'm not gonna make any excuses to ya.
But I will say I started with dinner. It was "spicy white bean soup with rice" okay...fine...
It called for .5 cups of white beans and I put in a can which came to about 2.5 cups. FYI...don't do that. (remember the waaaaay over calorie intake??)
But, to help my fellow sparkies out there who ever try to do menus I thought I would provide some feed back and pics.
Here's dinner.
I made it with Dole Ultimate Ceasar kit and a Golden Delicious apple in leu of applesauce.
It wasn't bad. I fed the girls spaghetti tacos and I'm pretty sure I'd rather have that...buuuuut, it wasn't bad. I'd make it again :o)
well, it's almost midnight folks (whooops...after) and I promised my oldest I would treadmill with her tomorrow.
so...let's all go do this...get up move it shake it burn it kick it, push it pull it pound it burn it! (oh, I already said that)
Love it :o)
My fi'excee came over last week and asked/told me that he wanted to work things out. He did not want to lose me and things would change. I did what any normal irrational soul would do. I ran to the courthouse and filed the papers.
It's not that there isn't love there. After a quarter of a century love was never the issue. He wasn't happy with me that day and it was extremely stressful. I would have never gotten through the day without Cutiepie actually as she kept me "company" even via text while I was going through this. I can never thank her enough.
Strange we seem to get along better for the most part now. I think he's really trying to quit drinking and his personality seems to reflect it. We talk a lot and it's nice, but like I told him. After so many years I just feel like we are more friends than a couple. For sure there is a lot more than one could put their fingers on to "fix". I think Tina Turner sang it best "it's time for letting goooooo"
Everyone but one person has done fabulously at avoiding sides. And what I mean by that is pretty self explanatory. It's one thing to support a person or another, and even occasionally do a bit of name calling (goodness knows I have!) but there is ONE person that I will leave nameless (his m*m) whom after 25 years does nothing but bash! It's awful and I don't mean just for me. I do feel bad for t as sometimes he just wants someone to listen. "hey had the girls over for dinner...." "including her?? WHY?!" I realize it's probably the I dunno, protective gene or whatever...but really. Just be there for him lady and quit making him feel crappier than he does! Gah...
OH! so, I've been thinking of my New Year's resolution already. Another friend of mine made a wonderful suggestion of "finding me" this year...and I thought. "I wanna run" I really do. I've missed it and slacked off so this is the perfect time to start it. My resolution will be one run a month ... there is a color run in July that I would LOVE to do! You wear a white t-shirt and every 1K "they" throw color on you...LOL I can't WAIT for that one. Depending on when my BIL gets married I will either do the July 8 in Seattle or July 28 in San Fran. I probably will be going to San Fran...which is okay cept I'm doing the Bay to Breakers in May there. LOL
So hopefully by next week I will have the year of runs planned out on here. Exciting huh? LOL
For my exercise today i did cleaning and painting. Really...a lot. I will show you! I owe ya pics of my place anyhows...ready?
As you all know I found the $7 gallon of pink paint for our kitchen. I went back to Wal Mart to get two gallons of a nice neutral beige that would be oh so pretty to compliment the pink.
I ended up with....
I call it peach. My oldest and youngest call it orange. so our apartment is now a Sherbet and probably guaranteed to scare away anything containing testosterone.
when you first walk in the door this is what you see:
I love the color myself...all bright and cheery as opposed to the dull grey/white that surrounded us before. As you go down the hall you will see the laundry on left, bath on right and three bedrooms. There is a little nook to the bedrooms that I keep my curio cabinet and Ms. Kate decided this would be cute to do in pink too....so we did.
Back at the front door...look to the left and you will be in the dining/kitchen area.
As you can see our dining area contains NO dining table. Only a piano, computer station, the lovely whiteboard (my favorite piece! LOL) Someday it will contain a cute table ... maybe.
My kitchen was in the process of being cleaned...so excuse the mess...
back at the front door we look right...this is my living room... My favorite piece here is the book shelf that I can't wait to add to!! (blurry pic)
and above my hot pink slipcovered loveseat are some pretty cool girlie pics...we haven't finished paining the living room yet (haven't started) so that's why the color isn't right. It will be cute with the peach I hope.
Well, that's it so far...that is our place. totally girlie and not ever anything I would have been in before as a married gal. LOL Next will be pink hair !! Like the esurance gal!! why? because I can, duh? LOL
Girls are on break (sortof) from school but not their activities. I get to sleep in at least! ceeeept, i think I will use the time to try out the treadmill in my pjs tomorrow! woo hoo! I'll let you know how that goes. Gots to start my training!!!

The big bang data exhibition excellently shows the background of our daily life data usage: social media, weather control, the news...the data analysis of everything we see around is put together with interesting videos, installations and diagrams.
i went three years ago here to a great exhibition about claudio magris and returned for the current piece, metamorfasis. everything glides perfectly well, a mixture of videos, art on walls, on the floor and interactive pieces. upstairs was a collection about info/data and its uses and applications which was quite mind boggling, but the works of abatract/surrealist film makers...
We bought an Articket which included this museum , so we went. I would not include this Center on the caliber of Miro or Picasso Museums. The exhibit was a horrble excuse for 'art.'. 'Metamorphoses' exhibit was as though someone had stored truckloads of bizarre props, for decades, and then decided to put it all on display. It was a...
As with every other museum we went to in Barcelona, the staff were friendly and helpful and the exhibitions were laid out beautifully. The items they had collected were impressive and made for a very interesting afternoon.
It is a contemporary museum, so it is OK if it doesn't appeal to everybody's taste. Before you visit, you'd better check online what exhibitions are displayed at the moment and decide for yourself.

We had expected more from the contemporary art centre of Barcelona. But the building is worth a visit and we also enjoyed some of the photos upstairs.

While taking a very long walking tour of Barcelona during which we decided to go where our senses of direction took us, we discovered the CCCB Museum.

There was only one exhibition on when I visited so maybe check what is on first, but it was great. On the top floor, you don't realise how big the building is as you walk around the exhibition which is laid out on in chronological order and dependent on the area of Barcelona today. In Spanish, Catalan and English, you...

George H.W. Bush
Mccain And The Iraq Undertow
October 06, 2008
I watched last week's debate between vice presidential candidates Joe Biden and Sarah Palin on CNN, where they show you the audience reaction among a group of undecided voters to what the candidates are saying. I was surprised to see that every time Palin attacked Barack Obama for being insufficiently militant in his policies toward Iraq or Iran or in Afghanistan, the needle of opinion turned sharply negative.
Speed Reading 'the War Within': How We Got Gates
September 10, 2008
Here's how President Bush chose Robert Gates as Secretary of Defense, according to Woodward. The atmospherics are exceedingly murky: Bush says he first considered Gates because "a friend he had gone to college with, whom he declined to identify, had first made the suggestion." Bush is adamant on the fact that he didn't consult George H.W. Bush about Gates.

Derek Chollet is a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and coauthor of America Between the Wars: From 11/9 to 9/11. Tonight, the Democrats turn to national security and America's role in the world. All the pundit bloviating about the bad blood between the Clintons and Obama has drawn attention away from an important story: Despite the intensity of the primary campaign, Democrats are more unified on major policy questions than they have been for a long time.
Playing The Age Card
August 22, 2008
If there was any doubt that the Obama campaign is trying to use McCain's house gaffe to highlight not just his wealth but his age, I think this new ad--complete with footage of McCain being driven around in a golf cart by the 84-year-old George H.W. Bush--should put that to rest. The Obama campaign doesn't want to turn McCain into Richie Rich. They want to turn him into Morty Seinfeld. --Jason Zengerle
Flashback: When Bill Clinton Was A Populist
June 25, 2008
While I was hunting down video links for my item about vice presidential candidates and their great moments in campaign debates, I stumbled across the clip below, which is from the 1992 campaign. It doesn't feature the veep candidates, though. It showcases Bill Clinton going up against George H.W. Bush in what would become an iconic moment of that campaign. For those who don't remember, this was second of the three presidential debates that year. It was a town hall-style event, with audience members asking questions.

On Monday night, the former president appeared in the video shown at South Carolina's military college, The Citadel, during the final stop of the Arizona senator's "No Surrender" tour. "The bottom line is we must persevere; we must not surrender; we must not quit and run away.

Aya Nakano, a recent University of Oregon graduate, was fatally shot in North Oakland late Wednesday, one hour before his 23rd birthday, after getting into a confrontation with two suspects who rear-ended his car.
Oakland police spokeswoman Johnna Watson said the victim had recently graduated from a college in Oregon and was driving back to his Emeryville home after playing basketball with friends at a UC Berkeley gym when the collision occurred about 11 p.m.
He was driving west on Stanford Avenue near Market Street when he was rear-ended by the suspects' car, Watson said.
The victim then "did the right thing" and turned left onto southbound Market Street then pulled over at a bus stop in the 5800 block of Market, near ASA Liquors, Watson said. Source: CBS San Francisco
Aya Nakano's death is Oakland's 45th homicide of the year. Police are offering up to $10,000 in reward for information leading to an arrest in the case.

Design and Implementation of Intentional Names (1999)
Download Links
|17 - 0 self
author = {Elliot Schwartz},
title = {Design and Implementation of Intentional Names},
year = {1999}
Most network naming schemes force applications to specify the network location of resources they wish to use. However, applications typically want a particular service and do not know where in the network the service is located. We argue that applications should be able to simply describe their needs in an intentional name, and that the network infrastructure should be able to resolve this name to its network locations. To this end, we have designed and implemented the Intentional Name System (INS). In this thesis we present the design of a key component of INS: the naming scheme. We describe the expressive syntax of its intentional names and the data structures and algorithms it uses to perform the name-to-location resolution. We analyze these algorithms, describe a prototype implementation, and present performance results that show the feasibility of our ideas. Finally, we describe three applications that demonstrate the utility of intentional names.

The Beatles Ballads (UK: Parlophone PCS 7214)
- "Michelle" was begun by Paul as far back as 1959, when he attended a party thrown by Austin Mitchell, then tutoring Lennon at the Liverpool College of Art. While there, he spotted a fellow partygoer -- goatee, black turtleneck and all -- attempting to be very continental by performing a French-language chanson (song). Though Europop had just begun its ascendancy, Paul began crafting a soundalike (on his first guitar!), with nonsense French lyrics, as a joke for future parties. John reminded Paul of the song during the recording of Rubber Soul, and although it was still just an intro, Paul agreed to complete it.
- Paul then turned to his boyhood friend Ivan Julian, whose wife, Jan, taught French, and asked her to come up with a girl's name and a rhyming French couplet. "Michelle, ma belle" was therefore the opening line, and when Paul rhymed that with the phrase "these are words that go together well," he asked for the line in French. The result was sont des mons qui vont tres bien ensemble, an almost literal translation. Unfortunately, decades of fans new to the song, not realizing Paul was singing in a foreign language, translated the phrase themselves as "someday monkey gone play piano song," or "Sunday monkey won't play piano song," or worse.
- Another factor in the development of "Michelle" was Paul's love of the Chet Atkins song "Trambone," which inspired him to create a song with a lead guitar and lead bass line, playing simultaneously. This "contrapuntal" approach would have a major effect on McCartney's playing and composition. (George Martin claims credit for having come up with the lead guitar line, though he does not perform it.)
- "Michelle" was complete very quickly in the studio. John assisted with the "I love you, I love you, I love you" bridge, which came to him after hearing Nina Simone's 1965 version of "I Put A Spell On You." The basic tracks were laid down in two takes on November 3, 1965; vocals and a lead guitar were then overdubbed.
- It's been suggested by some Beatle researchers that Paul himself may have played most, if not every, note on "Michelle." Proponents of this theory point to the intricacy of the lead guitar line and the anonymity of the drum performance. If true, this would be a definite first for the group. Paul himself has implied the group played on at least the basic track. It was the only song recorded at the all-day session.
- The original version of the intro, heard on bootlegs, was in C major. For the recorded version, this was switched to F minor, and the song itself in F major. In the original mono mix of this song, the drums are higher in the mix; the song also has a slightly longer fade on the last guitar solo.
- "Michelle" won the 1966 Grammy for Song Of The Year, the first and only Beatles song so honored and only the third Grammy for the group (they'd won Best New Artist and Best Vocal Performance in 1964). It also, perhaps predictably, went straight to #1 in France. It remains the second-most-performed Beatles song, after Paul's "Yesterday."
- McCartney, a supporter of US President Barack Obama, performed the song in honor of his wife Michelle when he visited the White House on June 2, 2010. (The singer was there to receive the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.) McCartney joked that he hoped the President wouldn't punch him for singing a love song to his wife!

UAE | General
Duty exemption goes online
The Ministry of Finance and Industry will launch today a new e-service that allows online submission of applications for duty exemption, said a senior official yesterday.
The Ministry of Finance and Industry will launch today a new e-service that allows online submission of applications for duty exemption, said a senior official yesterday.
From today no application handed in person for duty exemption will be accepted, said Jamal Nassir Lootah, Assistant Undersecretary of the ministry.
"An extension of the ministry's ongoing e-services for industrial licensing issue and renewal system first introduced 18 months ago, the programme now offers online customs exemption for all manufacturing firms registered in the UAE free of charge."
Lootah said the only prerequisite to access the service is the company should be a manufacturing unit registered in the UAE.
"Apart from easier and quicker service while offering savings in effort and expenses by effectively slashing bureaucratic requirements, the advantage in the system lies in the instant duty exemption available, as against the conventional, non-electronic system.
"It takes an applicant only five seconds to receive the approval of the application online. The exemption covers raw materials, semi-manufactured products used in the industry and machinery.
A host of other facilities are also available to online users, including making changes to the raw materials list, and displaying the products for potential buyers.
"Manufacturers can also submit their suggestions to develop the system or facilitate procedures.
