Join ACLJ & Jay Sekulow in Demanding Iran Free Pastor Saeed Abedini
Pastor Saeed Abedini is an American citizen; a Christian who has been seized by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and is being held in the notorious Evin Prison.: : Abedini is a former leader of Iran's house-church movement — and is being abused in Iran simply because of his faith.: : Iran refuses to release him.
The American Center of Law & Justice (ACLJ) has launched an international campaign to free Abedini, and is calling on all people of the world to join in mobilizing for religious freedoms. Sign the: ACLJ: petition to urge the President & State Department to stand up for an American in danger.: : Sign the petition at:: http://aclj.org/iran/save-
To: President Obama, the Secretary of State, and the United States Congress
Iran's radical and violent jihadist regime is persecuting an American pastor for exercising his fundamental right to religious freedom. The United States cannot tolerate such assaults on its own citizens. Take all available diplomatic and legislative action to pressure Iran to respect religious freedom and release Pastor Saeed.
Simply put, Iran cannot be permitted to imprison and abuse American citizens.

Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
Though it has last year's specs, the PadFone X marries two mobile devices into one convenient form at an affordable price.
The hefty price aside, the Asus AC2400 RT-AC87U is the most complete 802.11ac router to date, capable of satisfying all your home networking needs.
With Asus' slickest user interface yet, included keyboard, and a competitive starting price, the small but chunky Transformer Pad TF103 is an attractively affordable tablet hybrid.
The Asus MeMo Pad 8 is an affordable slate with tons of features, but if performance is king, faster options can be had for only $30 more.
Chunky gaming notebooks are a thing of the past here at Computex, and Asus is laying claim to the thinnest with a 19mm powerhouse.
Pricing not available
The 13.3-inch device features a detachable keyboard and easily switches OS with the simple push of a button.
Pricing not available
CNET checks out Asus' high-performing phone-plus-tablet combo, which will make its way to the US though AT&T.
Some might call the midsize Asus VivoBook S451 attractive, and it's certainly inexpensive, but too many sacrifices were made to hit that budget price.
The 10.1-incher fails to capture the imagination or excitement of its fellow Computex 2014 tablets.

Has Asus taken the whole phablet concept overboard with the 8-inch Intel-powered FonePad 8? Perhaps.

Spelling is part of their repertoire at Northfield Community School
Written by SUZANNE MARINO Monday, March 04, 2013 11:16 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
NORTHFIELD—The hollers and cheers in the Northfield Community School gymnasium or generally reserved for the districts outstanding basketball teams but Tuesday, Feb. 26 it was brain power that drew the applause.
The event was the annual spelling bee and the students were vying to represent their school at the regional spelling bee March 23 at the Galloway Township Middle School.
Language arts teacher, Lynda Donovan puts the spelling bee together each year. It's optional for the students to compete in the spelling bee.
They went round after round with all 20 students hanging tight and then the words started to get really tough and the field began to shrink. Words like indigenous, belligerent and prerogative knocked students out of the competition.
Donovan said she normally prepares a list of 180 words for the spelling bee, assuming that they will never actually need that many.This year it took 154 words to complete the spelling bee. "I am honestly amazed with our competitors; these kids came here ready to spell," said Donovan at the close of the spelling bee. "Last year it only took 57 words to complete our spelling bee last year."
In the end it was seventh grade student, Pranshu Suri, 12, who bested the field and will represent her school in the tri-county spelling bee. The word that tripped up the NCS 2012 tri-county speller, Calvin Duran was lieutenant. The word that sealed the deal for 12-year-old Suri was repertoire. The third place speller is 13-year-old eighth grade student Tyler Festa and his tough word was precocious.
As far as preparing for the spelling bee Duran said he looked over the list of words, Festa said he did not want to cause a lot of stress so he went into the spelling bee just trusting his ability to spell words from the sound, use in a sentence and origin. Suri said she studied over the last few weekends and that her mom quizzed her.

Governor Rick Perry named education an emergency issue in the state legislature. A new poll shows Texas voters agree. Results from the Texas State Teacher's Association Poll were unveiled in Lubbock Tuesday. 42% said education was the most important issue for the state government.
The poll also supports proven educational programs over alternatives. "They feel like we're making progress with the reforms we've had over the last two decades and they'd like to see public funds, tax dollars to continue those reforms," Cherie Jenkins, a teacher at Isles Elementary said.
900 Texas voters were polled in this survey.

New district maps created by legislators have brought criticism from many angles. Bruce Hamilton leads a discussion with three prominent local figures. Duval County Supervisor of Elections Jerry Holland, Florida State Representative Charles McBurney and UNF Political Science Professor, Michael Binder provide insight on what may come next.
City council focuses on the budget and whether or not it's balanced. While state lawmakers hold special sessions focusing on redrawing congressional maps that could impact the midterm election.
Violent crime is on the rise in Jacksonville's streets. A group of Jacksonville's top officials join Kent Justice to explore what's being done to change the violent trend in the community.
Duval County Superintendent Dr. Vitti discusses school grades and what it takes to improve failing schools. Congressman Ander Crenshaw focuses on the holding the IRS accountable.
Buddy Carter and Bob Johnson join Kent Justice to discuss their candidacy to become the Republican nominee for Georgia's open Congressional seat representing coastal Georgia
A panel of retired naval officers talks with Kent Justice about the promotion of the first female four-star admiral and the impact on future generations. Also, a discussion of Florida's congressional districts just ruled illegal by a Tallahassee judge.
Duval County School Board member Jason Ficher talks about his proposal that addresses self-defense in schools. And should family members be off limits in political attacks? Plus a local teacher of the year finalist sits down with Kent Justice.
A surprising collaboration that turned the Mathews Bridge repairs into an award-winning project. Kent Justice sits down with a group of engineers involved. Plus State Rep. Janet Adkins discusses education funding and infrastructure concerns.
The Medical Marijuana debate continues as Gov. Scott signs Charlotte's Web into law. Kent Justice's guests also discuss the deepening of the port of Jacksonville, and programs preparing students to be the first in their family to attend college and enabling people to own homes of their own.
A national surprise when a political David downed a Republican Goliath. While the federal representatives try to adapt to the unexpected, we're talking with your local state reps, members of the Democratic Black Caucus of Florida. Plus, the former First Lady, who has already run for President once, is being held to some of those high standards and scrutiny based on her new book. Local connections and analysis on "This Week in Jacksonville."
We're checking on the progress of the investigations of Veterans Administration Hospitals as Governor Scott files a lawsuit. And locally where does Jacksonville rank in the number of reported HIV/AIDS cases and pedestrian incidents.
Stand Your Ground is a hot topic once again in Florida. Does it stand on its own or does it need to be redefined? We review last week's First Coast Forum and hear from the parents of Jordan Davis. And the fall-out from a Clay County state rep's comments.

MI6 is paying a heavy price to protect terrorists' human rights
This morning's speech by Sir John Sawers, the head of Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, provided a deeply concerning assessment of the daily challenge the intelligence community faces in trying to balance national security with the need to protect the human rights of potential terror suspects.
Let me make it clear (and contrary to the view often peddled by my detractors among the anti-war brigade), I do not condone torture. But at the same time I fully support the efforts of our intelligence and security officers to make sure that there is no repeat of the July 7 bombings that devastated central London in 2005.
As Sir John made clear in his ground-breaking speech – the first in the 100-year history of the intelligence service – there is not shortage of Islamist terror groups – some of them even include British citizens – who like nothing more than to carry out similar attacks. And officers and agents working for MI6, as the intelligence service is more popularly known, daily risk their lives to ensure their efforts are in vain.
But the fact that many of these groups are working in parts of the world where respect for the rule of law and human rights do not always take priority can make for some difficult choices. As a consequence MI6 officers may well find themselves in a situation where, if they suspect a terrorist might be tortured, they must immediately withdraw their interest, even though that allows the terrorist activity to go ahead.
But how would the public feel if, out of respect for the terrorist's human rights, another atrocity was inflicted on the innocent and hard-working people of London? Would the citizens of this great city believe our intelligence officers had made the right call in allowing the terrorists to carry on plotting so they could be spared some rough treatment in a Pakistani jail cell? I'm not so sure.

The 10th Annual Cooking for a Cure event to benefit the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI) touched the hearts of community members. Not only did the dinner help reach the $700,000 mark for funds raised through local charity events for diabetes research, but this year's proceeds were donate to the DRI in loving memory of Glen Cover Joe Mansi, who sadly passed away this year at age 77.
Nassau County Legislator and DRIF Board Member Delia DeRiggi– Whitton said she was very grateful that the Cooking for a Cure committee put on a 10th successful evening of gourmet delights at Page One Restaurant, owned by Joe Mansi's daughter Jeanine DiMenna, who has given so much to the Glen Cove community. The event was sponsored in part by Page One Restaurant, which is co-owned and co-operated by Peter Antonopoulos and Chef DiMenna. Proud to serve the people of the city she grew up in, Chef DiMenna, a member of this hard-working event committee, and once again created delicious fare for the special evening.
DeRiggi-Whitton became involved with fundraising for the DRI shortly after her 14-year-old daughter, Amanda, was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 3.
"The theme of Cooking for a Cure has always been hope," she said. "We believe that the DRI is so dedicated to finding a cure for our children that one day our hope for a cure will turn into a reality."
This year Cooking for a Cure honored Dr. Barbara Keber, associate director of the Family Medicine Residency program at Glen Cove Hospital.
Dr. Keber was recently named Physician of the Year by the Metropolitan New York Association of Diabetes Educators (MNYADE). Dr. Keber was recognized for her expertise, professionalism and creativity in helping individuals with diabetes learn how to effectively manage their disease. Dr. Keber is a team leader and member of the multidisciplinary Task Force for Diabetes Center Accreditation at Glen Cove Hospital.
Thanks to the task force's efforts, in 2009, Glen Cove Hospital was the first hospital in New York State to earn advance inpatient diabetes management by The Joint Commission.
"Dr. Keber has worked in family medicine and diabetes care management for most of her medical career. Her compassion, caring and commitment to her patients' is admirable. We honor Dr. Keber for her unending dedication and support of those she cares for," said DeRiggi-Whitton.

Local residents were out in full force at Thursday night's zoning board meeting at Glen Cove City Hall in opposition of a new 7-11 convenience store that is set to be built at the corner of 4th Street and Cedar Swamp Road. According to Stuart Grossman, chairman of the Zoning Board, the meeting was officially supposed to be focused on sign variances for the new store, but residents wanted to make sure their voices were heard.
New York State Assemblyman and Frost Pond Road resident Michael Montesano said that he hopes the board will deny the application for the new 7-11 because of the traffic impact and light pollution the new store will create.

Enjoyed a long weekend relaxing with a friend at Hilton Helsinki (not the Hilton airport hotel). Fantastic location - very peaceful and great for walks/jogging. Catch bus 615 to city centre and tram No.4 if you want to avoid expensive taxi - takes around one hour from airport. Hotel is located at top of the hill just after last tram stop (Saunalahdentie). Breakfast was very good. Dinner restaurant menu more limited. Swimming pool is small and so can get easily crowded and is only available early morning and evening. Swim in sea invigorating!

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
TRYING to decide which side dishes to serve with your entree can be overwhelming. Here are some suggestions to help simplify your selection. Variety is key to pleasing all of your guests. So have an assortment of hot and cold foods and offer vegetables along with grains and pasta. For kids and older guests, provide at least one simple, lightly seasoned side dish. The entree and side dishes should complement one another. If your entree has intense flavor, pair it with more mild-flavored side dishes and vice versa. If your entree has lots of garlic, onion or nuts, stay away from a side dish that's loaded with any of those same ingredients.
For ease of preparation, look for an oven-baked side dish that cooks at the same temperature as your oven entree. If your oven will be full with the entree and other side dishes, choose another side dish that can be prepared on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. Or for a refreshing break from the hot foods, turn to a tossed salad, an assortment of fresh fruit or a tried-and-true relish tray. Recipes that can be prepared ahead (like gelatin salads and overnight casseroles) are a real boon to busy cooks.

Techtronic Industries Co. Ltd., the Hong Kong-based manufacturer of Ryobi power tools and Dirt Devil appliances, has completed its acquisition of Atlas Copco Group's electric tools business, including Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp., for U.S. $626.6 million.
The deal includes Milwaukee Electric Tool, producer of the Milwaukee-brand power tools and the Sawzall reciprocating saw, and Atlas Copco Electric Tools GmbH. As part of the transaction, Techtronic is assuming $86.2 million in pension obligations to 3,100 workers of the two units, according to a Bloomberg report.
Atlas Copco Electric Tools is comprised of AEG Electric Tools, a Winnenden, Germany, manufacturer Atlas acquired in 1991, and DreBo Werkzeugfabrik GmbH, a manufacturer of masonry drilling tools in Altshausen, Germany, acquired in April 2003.
The units had 2003 sales of $700 million and about 3,100 employees, with about 2,000 employed by Milwaukee Electric Tool.
Stockholm, Sweden-based industrial consortium Atlas Copco announced plans in May 2004 to sell off the electric tools manufacturing operations. The company said the electric tool business is profitable and holds significant market share, particularly in North America, but the business is far from Atlas Copco's desired position of being number one or two in its markets worldwide.
Techtronic's products include Ryobi power tools and outdoor power equipment sold under the Homelite and Ryobi brands. It also produces Royal, Dirt Devil, Regina, and Vax floor care appliances, and provides private-label products for home improvement retailers.
Techtronic, which has its North American headquarters in Anderson, S.C., reported 2003 sales had increased about 39 percent compared to about $1.7 billion in 2002. It has approximately 16,300 employees at manufacturing, research, and service operations in Asia, North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. (Milwaukee Business Journal)

@squalleon: Okay, so I just spent the last few hours doing research on Legion continuity. That's seriously confusing stuff. I think I've got it sorted, but I'm gonna write it out just to make sure I've got it right.
The Original Legion is the longest running version of the team, with its best stories written by Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen. This version of the team is "destroyed" during the Zero Hour event, or LoSH v4 #61. They reappear in The Lightning Crisis, a JLA/JSA crossover after Infinite Crisis, then Superman and the LoSH, then the Final Crisis tie-in. Afterwards, they got an ongoing title which survived into the New 52.
The Reboot Legion is what appears immediately after Zero Hour, also written by Mark Waid. This seems to be the most confusing of the three teams in terms of continuity because of the multiple series following the team. Volume 4 of LoSH ended ended with #125 in March 2000, as did Legionnaires with #81. There was a Legion Lost limited series which bridged the gap into a new Legion vol 1 ongoing by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. Legion v1 was cancelled with #38. The Teen Titans/Legion Special rebooted the franchise, bringing us to the Threeboot Legion.
You recommended I read Waid's v5 LoSH run, which is the beginning of the Threeboot Legion team. He writes it through to Supergirl and the LoSH #36, when it reverts to the original title and a new creative team. The Amazon reviews on the rest of the series are pretty low, so I would stop at #36. The third incarnation of Legion reappears next in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds.
So, seeing as the Original Legion is what appears in the New 52, I fully intend on reading The Lightning Saga, Superman and the LoSH, and Legion of 3 Worlds, as well as volumes 6 and 7 of the ongoing. I'll also find the best parts of Paul Levitz's Original Legion stories (like the Great Darkness Saga) for my enjoyment.
I sorta like Dan Abnett's writing, so I might seek out Reboot Legion stories. I'll certainly read Waid's Threeboot stories. My question is, can I read the second and third versions of the Legion of Superheroes as if they were Elseworlds style stories, seeing as they are no longer the main team in continuity? Or do they clearly reference their legacy and therefore are a little more tied down by the old issues?

ALEXANDRIA, VA—Local father Ken Hosmer voiced his disapproval Sunday concerning the frequency with which cable television channels air the 1984 film The Natural. "I was flipping through and didn't see The Natural on TMC, TBS, or even AMC," said Hosmer, adding that while The Hunt For Red October provided a temporary diversion, it was no substitute for the Robert Redford classic. "I just want to be able to surf around and catch him striking out The Whammer, or maybe the part where he breaks Wonderboy right before the final home run, you know?" Hosmer also criticized his local classic rock radio station for its infrequent broadcasting of Thin Lizzy's 1976 hit "The Boys Are Back In Town."

Swedish truck manufacturer Scania AB announced last week that Stockholm's Busslink has purchased 85 buses powered by ethanol. Busslink is the operator for Storstockholms Lokaltrafik (SL), which is Stockholm's public transit system. SL is getting ahead on its vow to purchase buses and vehicles powered only by renewable fuels starting in 2010. Scania's buses will be split between northern and southern Stockholm routes with the fleet split in half between city and commuter routes.
Scania AB will deliver 85 units of its third-generation ethanol bus to Busslink between September 2009 and April 2010. Each bus is powered by a blend of ethanol and ignition improver. Scania's ethanol engine is a modified 9-liter diesel engine capable of producing 270 horsepower in high gear. The fuel blend along with a streamlined drive train is projected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 90% compared to diesel-powered buses. If these emissions hold up in real-world situations, they will easily exceed Euro 4 and EEV requirements. The OmniCity and Omnilink bodies used by Scania AB for its ethanol buses feature full side kneeling, oversized doors and accessible floor levels to ensure easy entry and exit by passengers.
Busslink's order from Scania AB represents the company's largest order since 2004. Scania has delivered nearly 600 ethanol powered buses worldwide with Swedish municipalities purchasing 500 units in the past decade. While Busslink may represent the company's largest order in five years, 100 buses from Scania have been registered in Sweden in 2009. The rollout of 85 ethanol buses in a single municipality will act as a test of the vehicle's technical and production capabilities for prospective buyers.
The Busslink order represents a great testing ground for Scania AB's ethanol buses. Busslink's plan to run ethanol buses in stop-and-go urban environments as well as commuter situations will put Scania technology through the ringer. This ethanol bus fleet will put projected emissions, fuel mileage standards and performance levels to the test in a real world environment. Scania can continue its upward climb in the ethanol vehicle market with a successful rollout in Stockholm as well as positive results in test runs in Great Britain of its diesel-electric buses.

SINGAPORE--A dearth of catalysts left the Singapore dollar treading water on Wednesday and analysts say the currency could extend its lackluster run.
The U.S. dollar drifted between S$1.2400 and S$1.2425 for much of a listless session after changing hands at S$1.2409 in Asia late on Tuesday.
With Singapore's March consumer price index inflation coming in "slightly softer than expected"--and traders eyeing a break by the U.S. dollar-Japanese yen pair above the 100 mark--the U.S. dollar could remain supported against the Singapore unit in the near term, said Suan Teck Kin, a currency analyst at United Overseas Bank.
But traders may be starved of leads ahead of Singapore's industrial production data on Friday, he said, adding that this means the Singapore dollar could continue trading in a narrow range.
Mr. Suan pegged support for the U.S. dollar at S$1.2380 and resistance at S$1.2470.
Singapore government bonds were little changed in tepid trading on the local stock market.

Labor Informality in Latin America and the Caribbean: Patterns and Trends from Household Survey Microdata
AbstractThis paper documents the main patterns and trends of alternative definitions of labor informality in Latin America and the Caribbean, by exploiting a large database of more than 100 household surveys covering the period 1989-2005. The evidence suggests that there are no signs of a consistent pattern of reduction in labor informality in the region. Regardless of the definition used, labor informality remains a pervasive characteristic of labor markets in LAC. In several countries the increase in labor informality seems to have been associated more to a sizeable increase in the propensity to set informal arrangements within groups, than to changes in the national employment structure toward more informal sectors.

Bos Still Runs the Marathon by Team Bos - almost 2 years ago
"My friend, Meghan "Bos" Boswell was all set to run the NYC Marathon until Sandy had other plans for the city. Even though the marathon was cancelled, she still ran 26.2 miles in Central Park - doing 4.5 laps through the hilly terrain. We were still able to cheer her on with the surprise shirts we made and she plans to run again next year! SO PROUD of her for not giving up and running anyways. "

At least the two I'm familiar with, this one and Logan. Airport hotels don't have much appeal. At this Hyatt the rooms are soundproof to the open air; you can't hear the takeoffs/landings. (You can hear parties in the hallway!) Hyatt has creative and appealing appointments in the rooms, hallways and lounges. Temperature control was a challenge. Temperature seemed to stay the same whether at 70 or 66. I only ate the food the meeting host had catered, but the food was fresh, creative and unexpected. I give the catering high marks. Meeting rooms always stayed somewhat cold in April though we tried to get the heat up.

The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable are what the rest of M. Night Shymalan's films should have been like.
Posted: 3 years, 3 months ago at May 27 21:10
M. Night Shyamalan made one of my favorite movies (The Sixth Sense) and one of the movies I hate the most (The Village).
And I love Bruce Willis, but Unbreakable?... not so much.
Nice review :)

This movie had a decent plot, some scary scenes, and of course the twist at the end, which nobody sees coming. One of those movies you can watch for the second time and still keep interested.

Report: Texas A&M leaving Big 12
Updated: August 30, 2011, 9:31 AM ETAssociated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Texas A&M has notified the Big 12 it will withdraw from the conference, according to a newspaper report.
The New York Times said in a story posted on its website Monday night that Texas A&M President R. Bowen Loftin sent a letter to Missouri chancellor and Big 12 board chairman Brady Deaton to inform the league it was leaving. The report cited two unidentified college officials with direct knowledge of the decision.

Mississippi Twins Arrested for Videotaping Police from their BalconySubmitted by rayzer42 on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 16:22
As nineteen year old Shanell Madison of Pearl, Mississippi tells it, she and her twin brother Terrell were sitting peacefully on the balcony of their apartment on Tuesday when they heard shots from a police shootout below. Then Terrell began recording the scene with his cellphone, and that brought the police bursting into the apartment to arrest both of them.
"The police came up here after they took his phone," Shanell told WLBT News. "They slammed him down and arrested him, and I'm like 'Why are y'all arresting him', and then they grabbed me and slammed me also and arrested me."
The twins' mother, Karen Madison, believes the police became upset because she moved her truck when she saw them using it as a shield during the shootout. She says that none of the officers on the scene would tell her why her children had been arrested and taken to jail.
"Lieutenant comes down tells me 'Yeah I have your kids here. They're safe, but they're gonna be here until I say they can be released'," Madison recalled.
The twins were let out of jail several hours later, but the police kept the SIM card from Terrell's phone and Madison was told they had been charged with disorderly contact. Their court appearance is scheduled for May 17.

Houses no one wants or needs
3:35pm Monday 3rd March 2014 in Letters
An HM planning inspector saw fit to give permission in December for the building at Welland of 50 houses (12.5 per cent of existing village outside the settlement boundary) on sloping farmland with keuper marl less than two feet below the overlying clay.
This will be almost worse than building on flood plains and will exacerbate flooding at Brook End in spite of ever-changing solutions for the retention of water.
More seriously, landslip and early damage to the houses themselves will result.
In addition, these are houses that no one needs either on account of size or price, even when "affordable", and they do not meet the real need of younger villagers who wish to remain in their home territory.

Really? No one? Maybe they are not aimed at the demographic Mrs S M Appleby is suggesting they should be aimed at but these houses would not be planed if the developers did not think they could sell them. Unfortunately affordable housing for young people means by definition social housing at which already resident "villagers" usually throw up their hands in horror.

Brendan doesn't need to apologize, Eve is allowing this cyber bully to be on their CSM panel, the Mittani is furthering his trolling by Goonswarming sites for them to change the truth of this matter.

@wotan343: Except there is no point to miss. The exact words Alexander used are readily available for all to see. It doesn't require a news article to convey the concept to rational, normal people that attempting to push a person to KILL THEMSELF fits perfectly into the category of Cyber Bullying. He seems to believe that because he was at a convention for a video game, that his RL choices and wording should somehow be protected behind the username of the video game he plays. But most people tend to differentiate ganking a player's pixels with trying to set a man up to die in real life.
He made a real life choice that could have affected the livelihood of a real individual. Now he's mad that there are consequences beyond just a slap on the wrist in a video game. He won't get much sympathy from folks.

@Tolmos: Hey tolmos before I deal with your shouty noises I'm just going to publish a news-piece with your real name claiming you are someone who serially and deliberately misses the point that several similar news outlets will cover, imitating the general condemning tone of my piece.
Your name will be forever inextricably linked with idiocy.
So what was this fuss about a drunken misstep at a conference about drunken missteps?

Alexander is saying that he is upset that his name is attached to the word "Cyber Bully" now. OF COURSE IT IS! It was not "The Mittani", a pixelated character, that stood drunk in front of a crowd and tried to convince them to harass an emotionally unstable man to the point of committing suicide. It was Alexander Gianturco who did that. And what... now he's complaining that people are reporting that and it is causing him problems? Learn to live with your actions and the consequences that come from them!

The iPod Touch...Does nobody give a damn anymore?
It's been four days since the iPhone 5 was unveiled. And the scene is as expected. Blogs and forums EVERYWHERE, even if they are Apple-based or not have run overtime trying to criticize and defend (not promote, unlike previous iterations) the sixth-generation iPhone. And for good reason too. Apple has brought about the biggest revolution in the mobile computing world with this one device, notwithstanding the iPad and Macbook Airs. Of course, most of them are repetitive and rather boring, giving the same opinion on the same point as almost everyone else. Some make quite a lot of sense too, offering Apple some credit for the completely new processor, while some really sensible articles suggested another way to look at Apple's iPhone releases - with each major redesign actually being just an alpha phase for the perfected "S" product.
But amid all this confusion and chaos regarding the rather disappointing smartphone (a first of it's kind from Apple), one REALLY important thing has been forgotten - the new, 5th generation iPod touch.
As a 4th gen iPod touch owner, I shouldn't have been excited by this one. Definitely not, since I strictly followed the 2nd generation cycle (i.e.: buy one, skip one, then buy one). But I was. The iPod touch, for anyone looking to switch over to Lumia (or HTC, if they work their stuff out) (i.e.: Me!!) or Android (Naah, not for me), is the best way to stay connected with their trusted buddy of old without committing to a contract (Or making sure that the hundreds of bucks they spent on the App Store don't go down the drain!). Also, it offers the much-needed cheaper foray into iOS' advanced capabilities for first-timers. And not just that, it actually beats or equals the flagship phone of five days back, the 4S, in almost all statistics. It totally blows out the old one, especially for a $50 upgrade. It packs Airplay, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, dual-band WiFi, the iPhone 5's screen, a dual-core A5 processor, a hybrid 5 megapixel full-HD capable camera made up of the 4S' and 5's blueprints and modules, and access to the biggest update that iOS 6 offers - 3D Maps. Oh, and I forgot, Siri, whose inclusion on what is generally perceived as iOS' 'cheap' device is rather strange. And the much touted thinness and lightness of the iPhone: this smothers that, coming in at 6.1 mm and 88g against the iPhone's 7.6 mm and 112 grams!
Much of the iPhone 5's hidden specs have been revealed - 1 GB RAM and a hybrid 2-cores-made-up-of-2-cores-each processor. But still, no one has any information about the iPod touch, and it is ignored just like before the launch of both devices, where we all knew what the iPhone would look like, but none had even bothered to speculate on whether an iPod touch would be launched or not?
I mean, sure, it does seem lackluster against the Kindle Fire HDs and the Nexus 7, but let's not forget that the Kindle Fires are actually dependent on having an Amazon presence, and most people outside of the USA have NO Amazon access! The Nexus 7 seems incredible, but for some reason, Google has chosen to keep it away from Indian shores, just like it did with the Galaxy Nexus. And competing Android 7-inchers actually sell for a HUGE premium here, with the $200 Galaxy Tab 2 costing approximately $350 here! That makes the iPod touch a rather sweet deal at a definite price limit of $300 and $400, depending on the storage choice. Also, the growing fragmentation of Android is a big concern now, with possible alienation of any device from even the very next major software update (other than the Nexus family, that is).\
All that being said, I would really, really, REALLY appreciate some more news of and interest in the iPod touch, at least from you guys, the 'Apple Core', if not everyone else.

New study on humpback whale songs
According to an article on CNN male humpback whales change their songs over time. Researchers in Australia had known that male humpbacks sing as part of courtship and mating behaviors. Now they think the whales may be mixing up their playlist to show off."We believe the song is continually changing because the males wish to be novel or slightly different to the male singing next to them," Ellen Garland, a doctoral student at the University of Queensland, said. Other times, the whales may be picking up a tune they've heard before, sort of a sub-Pacific top 40.
"The way whales change their song can be compared to how humans follow fashion trends – someone starts a new trend, and before you know it, everyone starts wearing the same thing," Garland said. The whale tunes move eastward across the Pacific, starting off in Australia and spreading to French Polynesia, according to the study. "I noticed that the songs moved quite rapidly through the six populations, usually taking two years to spread all the way across the region," Garland said.
The whales were studied over an 11-year period. The full study is published in the journal Current Biology.

Earth Day Whale News
Endangered whales gather in unprecedented numbers
What a headline on Earth Day this year! It's the largest concentration of endangered right whales ever spotted in one location. This unique occasion is giving researchers an unusually rich opportunity to study the animals and their feeding habits.The gathering is an annual affair in the chilly spring waters off Cape Cod Bay in Massachusetts.
Scientists believe that there are only 450 right whales in the world but say the numbers have been slowly recovering since commercial whaling of the species was banned more than 70 years ago. The more than 100 whales counted in the bay this month is the largest number recorded in one place, according to the Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

Found July 09, 2012 on Rumors and Rants:
PLAYERS: Chael Sonnen, Anderson Silva, Jim Rome, Tito Ortiz, Forrest Griffin
Anderson Silva's victory over Chael Sonnen in Saturday's UFC middleweight title fight was the most anticipated MMA fight of 2012. This was due in large part to the fact that the challenger, Sonnen, spent most of the last two years calling out Silva and promoting the fight. Sonnen even won the "Smack-off" on Jim Rome's radio show, furthering his near-constant presence in the media leading up to the fight. His hilariousness is too extensive to summarize here whilst trying to stay on-topic. Even the normally stoic Silva got into the act a little, saying before the fight that he was going to break Sonnen's arms and legs. Silva even gave Sonnen a shoulder to the chin during their stare-down at the weigh-in the day before the fight. Sonnen's promo work leading up to the fight far surpassed what Silva did. Though Silva saying much of anything before a fight is quasi-miraculous. According to MMA Junkie, Silva was paid a flat fee of $200,000 for the fight. Meanwhile, Sonnen reportedly...
