My site hosts a section that warns potential customers of sites that use malicious and illegal tactics to sell items. In short, we are trying to keep potential customers from being ripped off. We offer screen captures as proof of the unethical behavior.
Recently, I have received a thread from Pakistan where most of these sites operate from. Is there any way to protect against what he is saying? I am not sure I understand what he is saying too well.
I have replaced his site with the "hackersite" and my domain with "mysite" in the link below. It obviously does not work, but it comes up with my site from another URL and I believe this is the issue.
Can anyone tell me what this means in English? Thank you in advance...Quote:
ok i don't want you to tell me the law me know better then you and me know i am in Pakistan :D , do you think you will restrict links for some countries using .htacess or PHP ip api's or what ever you have used and people will get slept thinking there is nothing, you lolz don't you know there are proxies avaiable for any country's IP .
Now you have only 48 hours to remove that **** any else me going to contact you after ****ing your ****** sites off , i got better idea for you in start , how do you feel when you will look your site availabe on many domains , not complex just need to use a little proxy script, all it will do just will pick your site and will display as its dom own domain content and how would be it feel to Google oh nothing but google will think plagiarism and data dulication so will **** the sites having same data, and be sure you will found your site on google no where :D

Crying about cutting costs doesn't help
One problem is the language we use. We should talk about saving money, not cutting costs. If you think only about cutting, it is hard to be creative. And it is possible to be creative about saving money. More than possible, it's essential.
November 19, 2012 3:09 by kippreport
Finally, you need to look at your corporate culture. Think about all the little things you can do to promote an energy-saving, money-saving, environment-friendly atmosphere at work. Encourage people to cycle and recycle. Don't print emails unless you have to. Turn everything off at the end of the working day, unplug televisions and chargers (which consume a ridiculous amount of electricity), keep doors and windows closed if the air-conditioning is on, and turn heating down a notch or two as well.
These things are mostly common sense, but they set the right tone – one of mutual respect and consideration – while making a real contribution to keeping costs down.
In the course of exploring these and other possibilities, you may find you need to spend money in order to make savings over the longer term. Spend money on streamlining processes or investing in smarter systems and your initial outlay may soon be recouped by a reduction in your company's permanent cost base. Perhaps you should outsource some back-office or non-core processes to low-cost countries. Or make a tactical promotional offer at the right time and in a carefully selected market, you might steal a march on the competition.
When it comes to hiring and paying staff, there's one good thing about tough economic times – they make more talent available. So when you find good people, pay them well and treat them well. And don't neglect training; whether you're talking about new recruits or veterans, if they can learn to get more done with less, you'll be making a net gain.
My attitude to spending is the same regardless of the state of the markets. When someone comes to me asking to spend money on something, I always ask: "Would you spend it if it was your money?"
If people answer no, or hesitate too long, they won't find me reaching into my pocket. But if they say "yes, because…", then I'll be listening closely. The secret of success is to spend money on the right things at the right time – and there's no better time than when competitors are retreating.
Whatever the economic pressures, you have to retain a long-term view. You have to give yourself the chance to grow, to be in position to take advantage when markets pick up.
A leader's job is to create and foster a sustainable business for the long term. That depends crucially upon making your investments and divestments as selective and strategic as each other.

Napoleonic Europe and the Post-Napoleonic Era Review Questions for AP European History (page 2)
By Jeffrey Brautigam, Ph.D. — McGraw-Hill Professional
Updated on Mar 4, 2011
The study guide for these review questions can be found at:
Napoleonic Europe and the Post-Napoleonic Era for AP European History
- Which of the following was NOT a principle upheld by the Napoleonic Code?
- the safeguarding of all forms of property
- the safeguarding of the traditional privileges and prerogatives of the nobility
- the safeguarding of the traditional privileges and prerogative of the family patriarch
- equality before the law
- promotion by merit rather than birth
- The Concordat of 1801
- created a temporary peace between France and Russia
- made Napoleon the "consul for life"
- made Napoleon Emperor of France
- reconciled France with the Roman Church
- forbade the areas of Europe controlled by Napoleon from trading with Great Britain
- In October 1805 at the Battle of Trafalgar,
- the British navy defeated the combined French and Spanish fleets
- Napoleon's Grand Army was destroyed
- the French army won a victory that gave Napoleon effective control of all of Germany
- Napoleon's forces won a victory that forced Russia into a treaty with France
- Napoleon was captured and sent to the island of Elba
- The decline and fall of Napoleon is best explained by
- the inefficiency of the French army
- his tactical blunders
- internal resistance by royalists and republicans
- the British victory at the Battle of Trafalgar
- a combination of flawed policies and growing resistance to French rule
- The aims of the great powers represented at the Congress of Vienna were
- to so weaken France that it could never threaten Europe again
- to secure the democratic reforms won by the French Revolution
- to restore the traditional order and to create a new balance of power
- to create an alliance system
- to provide independent nation states for Italy, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia
- The Concert of Europe
- supported Spanish resistance to French rule
- opposed the Greek independence movement
- was unanimous in its opposition to nationalist rebellions
- authorized Austria to use military force to put down Italian nationalist movements
- supported a rebellion for reform in Russia in 1825
- The July Ordinances of 1830
- refer to the bombarding of Frankfurt by the Prussian military
- led to a rebellion that forced Charles X of France to abdicate
- proclaimed the Second Republic of France
- outlawed political meetings known as "banquets"
- proclaimed Greek independence from the Ottoman Empire
- The revolutions of 1848 are best understood as
- the result of tension between liberal and nationalist aspirations of the people of Europe and the determined conservatism of their aristocratic masters
- independence movements
- large-scale attempts to redistribute wealth in European society
- precursors to the French Revolution
- democratic revolutions
Answers and Explanations
- B. The Napoleonic Code continued and codified the abolishment of the traditional privileges and prerogatives of the nobility begun during the revolution. The other four choices are incorrect because they were all principles upheld by the Napoleonic Code.
- D. The Concordat of 1801, signed by Napoleon and the pope, reconciled France to the Roman Church by stipulating that the clergy would be chosen and paid by the state but consecrated by the pope. Choice A is incorrect because the temporary peace between France and Russia was created by the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807. Choice B is incorrect because Napoleon was made "consul for life" in 1802 (not 1801). Choice C is incorrect because Napoleon had himself crowned Emperor of France in 1804 (again, not in 1801). Choice E is incorrect because it was the Continental System, not the Concordat of 1801, that forbade areas controlled by Napoleon from trading with Great Britain.
- A. On 21 October 1805, a British naval fleet under the command of Lord Nelson defeated the combined fleets of France and Spain, thereby securing supremacy of the seas and making Britain essentially unconquerable. Choice B is incorrect because Napoleon's Grand Army was destroyed while retreating from Moscow in the winter of 1812. Choice C is incorrect because Napoleon's control of Germany was accomplished by his victory at Jena in October of 1806. Choice D is incorrect because it was a victory at Friedland in June of 1807 that forced the Russians to sign the Treaty of Tilsit a month later. Choice E is incorrect because it was in November of 1813 that British and Spanish forces moved into Paris, captured Napoleon, and exiled him to Elba.
- E. Flawed policies like the decision to constantly expand the Empire and the enforcement of the Continental System (which hampered the economies of Napoleon's allies more than that of Britain), and increasing resistance to French rule throughout the far-flung Empire, eventually led to an opposition coalition so large that it presented tactical and strategic difficulties that were insurmountable. Choice A is incorrect because the French army was well organized and unparalleled in its logistical efficiency. Choice B is incorrect because, while Napoleon was not the military genius he has sometimes been made out to be, it was insurmountable logistical problems rather than tactical blunders that led to his defeat. Choice C is incorrect because both Royalist and Republican opposition to his rule had been largely subdued by 1805. Choice D is incorrect because, although the loss of the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar ended Napoleon's dreams of controlling the seas and conquening the British, it did not mean defeat for Napoleon's land armies; they went on to conquer most of Europe in the subsequent decade.
- C. The great powers at the Congress of Vienna were represented by members of the traditional, aristocratic ruling houses of Europe. Accordingly, their aims were to restore the traditional order of a Europe that the French Revolution had challenged and to create a new balance of power that would make another Napoleon impossible. Choice A is incorrect because the aims of restoring the traditional order and establishing a balance of power meant both the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy and of a reasonable economic and military power in France. Choice B is incorrect because the aristocratic representatives at the Congress of Vienna were directly threatened by and, therefore, opposed to the democratic reforms of the French Revolution. Choice D is incorrect because the creation of an alliance system was a means to achieve the aim of a balance of power. Choice E is incorrect because the nationalist hopes of the Italians, Hungarians, and Czechs ran counter to the aim of rest ring the traditional order.
- D. In 1821, the Concert of Europe authorized Austria to put down nationalist uprisings in the Italian kingdoms of Sicily and Piedmont. Choice A is incorrect because Spanish resistance during the existence of the Concert of Europe was to the restored Spanish Bourbon monarchy, which had the support of the Concert. Choice B is incorrect because the Greek independence movement against the Ottoman Turks was the one such rebellion supported by the Concert. Choice C is incorrect because Great Britain often sympathized with nationalist movements and formally withdrew from the Concert over the issue. Choice E is incorrect because the Concert supported Nicholas I's decision to crush a revolt led by reform-minded army officers in 1825.
- B. The July Ordinances, issued in July 1830 by Charles X of France, dissolved part of the legislative branch of the government and revoked voting privileges from the bourgeoisie. The result was a rebellion by the bourgeoisie, students, and workers that forced him to abdicate in favor of a more compliant Louis Philippe. Choice A is incorrect because the Prussian military bombarded Frankfurt, thereby breaking up the Frankfurt Assembly, in November of 1848. Choice C is incorrect because the Second Republic of France was proclaimed in 1848. Choice D is incorrect because the political assemblies known as "banquets" were banned by Louis Philippe in February of 1848. Choice E is incorrect because the Greeks proclaimed their independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829.
- A. The actual motives and goals of the revolutions of 1848 varied widely, but they can be best understood as a combination of the desire for liberal reforms that were either briefly enjoyed or envied by others during the period of the French Revolution and Napoleonic rule and the spirit of nationalism that was awakened across Europe by both the success of the united French people and resentment towards French rule domination. Choice B is incorrect because only some of the revolutions were independence movements; others simply sought liberal reform within existing kingdoms and states. Choice C is incorrect because only the most radical factions of the French rebellion in 1848 advocated redistribution of wealth and they were never in a position to make any "attempts" to do so. Choice D is incorrect because it contains a major chronological error: The French Revolution occurred from 1789 to 1799, and even if one includes the Napoleonic era there is no way the revolutions of 1848 could be precursors to the French Revolution. Choice E is incorrect because only some of the revolutions even came close to aiming at changes that would truly be democratic, and many of the nationalistic revolutions, like those in Italy, often pinned their hopes on the establishment of a national monarchy.

LITTLETON — Mike Kuzava wasn't going to name names, but years ago an opposing Jeffco boys golf coach commented to him that Evergreen kids tend to fold under pressure. That has always stuck in his craw. This year's, Evergreen's boys golf team would refute that statement.
Green Mountain never really stopped Evergreen's bread-and-butter running game, said head coach Rob Molholm, but it was his team's miscues that led the Cougars to a more passing attack early in its homecoming game Sept. 19 at Evergreen High School. Whatever the case, it worked.
Dylan Reifeis was 11-of-21 passing for 169 yards and two touchdowns, and the Cougars defense, as dominant as it has been all year, shut down 4A Green Mountain for a 23-3 victory.
CONIFER — The intent of the Evergreen boys soccer team was evident: score as many goals as early as possible. After all, in the Cougars' first four victories this season, one was in double overtime, another after scoring two late second-half tallies and two more by a goal each.
By Matthew Van Deventer
For the Courier
It was an emotional win for Evergreen's softball team Sept. 20 against Conifer, as the team's seniors were honored only months away from graduating.
The field was dressed in blue and gold streamers with "2015" proudly displayed on the fence in painted styrofoam cups. To the right were posters with the graduates' pictures and profiles. To the right of the dugout were the graduating jersey numbers: 23, 42, 22, and 18.
By Michael Hicks
Sports Editor
LITTLETON — Evergreen's cross country team isn't likely to see too many individual victories, but that's not the motive anyway. The Cougars are all about what they can do as a team.
That's been proven over the years, especially in 2013 when the boys and girls each won 4A Jeffco League and regional titles. Well, 2014, is looking like much the same with a state championship very much in sight.
LITTLETON — Taylor Hicken may only be a freshman but already she's proving to be a spark plug for the Dakota Ridge Lady Eagles' volleyball team.
By Craig Harper
For the Courier
Evergreen's best gymnast and lone junior is trying to regain her form after an offseason layoff from the sport and an illness that has forced her to miss meets this year. Its promising freshman is battling a sore ankle while adjusting to the high school version of the sport. Its lone senior also has battled illness. The remainder of the squad is sophomores and freshmen. Its assistant coach is new.
No wonder second-year coach Chancey Hines is asking for patience.
Lady Cougars win 7th straight, take Mile High Invitational
DENVER — Lauren Hawes went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs and Emily Lauder, making her first start in right field, threw a Thomas Jefferson runner out at the plate as Evergreen won the Mile High Invitational on Sept. 13 with a 6-5 victory.
The Lady Cougars broke a 5-all tie in the top of the seventh.
Freshman Ashley Johnson picked up the victory, striking out five and walking three. Jessica Bellatti scored two runs.
First-year Evergreen boys soccer coach Ross Fowler, like his predecessor Peter Jeans, preaches that his team should have greater possession of the ball than the opposition. He finds that the teams who are able to do that consistently score a lot more goals later in the game.
PARKER — The Evergreen Lady Cougars volleyball team played a shoelace game against the Lutheran Lady Lions, winning 25-13, 25-15, 24-26, 25-21 at Lutheran High School on Sept. 4.
For the first two games, every ball the Lady Cougars lobbed over the net seemed to sink right at the Lions' feet, forcing Lutheran to dig time and again. But then the Lady Cougars lost their momentum in the third game.

The Awakening Of Bartkira
A comics event where every participant takes five pages from the original AKIRA manga, to collectively redraw the entirety of Akira, in our own styles, with characters from The Simpsons.
I saw Ryan Humphrey's incredible Bartkira piece and realised 'ok, this needs to be a whole book'. So I took this idea to him, he gave it the go-ahead. Milhouse is Kaneda. Lisa is Kei. Bart is Tetsuo. [UPDATE: No they aren't, see —>here<—] Let's do it.
I figured it all out. If you're down, email the address below. In a few days, I'll send you the cast list (which character from the Simpsons is which Akira character, though the minor characters will be left up to you) and I'll tell you which 5 pages you'll be working on. You can request a particular page, but it's first come, first served.
If 468 people take part, we get to do all six volumes. Even if only 78 are down, we'd still get the entire first volume.
Since it'll be non-profit, parody/satire, crowdsourced and distributed peer-to-peer, I feel like it's juuust on the right side of the legal grey area it inhabits. If not- let's do it anyway. I'll take the rap.

The Centre for Research in Opera and Music Theatre at the University of Sussex is pleased to announce a new
research initiative to examine the challenges and opportunities of new media technologies for the future of opera.
The project will be launched by a two-day event hosted by Glyndebourne Opera bringing academics, artists and

Hey s198385!
I'm sorry you're having problems getting signal at your house. It is true that no Windows Phone device we currently offer has Wi-Fi calling. There are a few troubleshooting steps in Signal troubleshooting: Windows Mobile devices that you can try to ensure the issue is with coverage. We also have our T-Mobile TakeAction site where you can provide information about your wireless coverage and stay up to date with coverage enhancements.
Thanks for joining T-Mobile!

I'm interested in the WIFI calling for my HTC windows 6.5 phone. I don't see how to get the application for this feature. Windows marketplace has closed as of June 9, 2012. I have a unlocked world gsm phone. Does t-mobile have this app available for download somewhere?
3. Re: HTC Radar - Windows Phone - any ability for Wifi Calling?s198385 Jun 10, 2012 7:57 PM (in response to s198385)
As far as I know T-Mobile has not applied for this modification thru MicroSoft. I have searched and searched, asked and asked and there is no app available. It is very frustrating not to have phone service in your house thru WIFI Calling. Please let me know if you come across anything. Thanks!
4. Re: HTC Radar - Windows Phone - any ability for Wifi Calling?barrydunham Jun 24, 2012 8:36 PM (in response to s198385)
For everyone who wants WiFi Calling on Windows Phone, let Microsoft KNOW.
Go here:
Type in "T-Mobile WiFi Calling Support" and 'like' all T-Mobile/WiFi Calling related threads. This will get Microsoft's attention if we can get it into the thousands.
5. Re: HTC Radar - Windows Phone - any ability for Wifi Calling?juanitoriv Jul 26, 2012 10:38 PM (in response to s198385)
As of right now, there are at least 2 FREE, WiFi calling/video calling apps out there. Check out Tango by HTC, and Skype (recently purchased by MS). There are a few free 'push to talk' apps like 'HeyTell' and 'Talk to Me' as well. There's even an app to turn your Radar into a we can, haven't tried it yet though. Keeps your eyes on the Marketplace. I find new stuff every day..

Nancy G. Brinker named UNT Humanitarian Laureate
Event to be rescheduled.
DENTON (UNT), Texas — The University of North Texas will award Nancy G. Brinker, founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, its annual North Texas Humanitarian Award. The presentation of the award, originally scheduled for May 5 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Lacerte of Dallas, has been postponed. Brinker has the flu and is unable to attend the ceremony in her honor. UNT is making plans to reschedule the event.
UNT founded the award in 2003 to recognize community leaderswhose selfless acts inspire the university family — its alumni, students,faculty and staff — and others in the North Texas community. Recipientsof the award become UNT Humanitarian Laureates, esteemed for their ability toeducate by civic example.
UNT President Norval Pohl and UNT System Chancellor Lee Jackson will bestow the award upon Brinker for developing the foundation, which today is considered the nation's leading catalyst in the fight against breast cancer. When Brinker's sister, Suzy, died of breast cancer at the age of 36 in 1980, Brinker promised herself that she would fulfill her sister's plea to help others battling the disease. The foundation, created in 1982, funds research, breast cancer education, and screening and treatment projects for individuals who are medically underserved. In 1983, Brinker also founded the Komen Foundation's signature program — the Komen Race for the Cure, the largest series of 5K run and fitness walks in the world.
In 1986, President Ronald Reagan appointed Brinker to the 18-member National Cancer Advisory Board as one of six laypeople. In 1992, she was appointed by President George H. W. Bush to the three-member President's Cancer Panel to monitor the progress of the National Cancer Program and was selected by Vice President Dan Quayle to serve as the chair of a subcommittee to study the progress of breast cancer research and education in the United States and around the world. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Brinker to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Hungary. Most recently, Brinker was installed into the Cancer Research & Treatment Funds Cancer Survivors Hall of Fame in 2002.
"Nancy Brinker is known worldwide for her compassion and outreach. She advocates women's health issues and speaks on the importance of patient's rights and medical advancements in breast cancer research and treatment," says Pohl. "She is a hero to all those affected one way or another by breast cancer — which is all of us."
To commemorate the designation of North Texas Humanitarian Laureate, Brinker will receive an original work of art, handcrafted by two UNT alumni while they were graduate students in UNT's School of Visual Arts: Mark Herndon ('04 M.F.A.) and Masumi Kataoka ('03 M.F.A.). It is a modern representation of a ceremonial academic mace, a symbol of the worthiness of the leader who wields it. Its design comprises solid silver, 18-karat gold and walnut.
UNT presents the North Texas Humanitarian Award annually to individuals who embody a public spirit to better the North Texas region and whose accomplishments are consistent with the public service component of UNT's mission. Restaurateur Philip J. Romano was the 2003 North Texas Humanitarian Laureate for founding Hunger Busters, and he also serves as honorary chair of this year's event.
Tickets for the event are $100 and the proceeds will benefit the Nancy G. Brinker Presidential Scholarship at UNT and the UNT Cornerstone Fund for Excellence.Tickets can be purchased by calling (940) 565-3689.
Physical description and symbolism of the North Texas Humanitarian Award:
The award is an original work of art, handcrafted by two alumni of UNT's School of Visual Arts while they were graduate students: Mark Herndon ('04 M.F.A.) and Masumi Kataoka ('03 M.F.A.). It is a modern representation of a ceremonial academic mace, a symbol of the worthiness of the leader who wields it. It has several symbolic features.
Its crown is two half circles — sterling silver hands, embracing a goldflame. It is the flame of leadership, the flame of education. The holder of thehumanitarian award is esteemed for the ability to educate by civic example.
The award's body and its base are sculpted walnut, a wood selected forits beauty and its strength. Like this fine wood, the recipient of the awardhas grace and fortitude — the courage to overcome obstacles in the pathto improve the life of others.
The award's base holds the mace in an upright position so that we see itas a torch. However, the holder of this award is not someone who passes the torch,but someone who makes the flame burn brighter. North Texas Humanitarian Laureatesilluminate the unmet needs in our communities and fulfill them.

Llewelyn Moss stumbles onto a drug deal gone monumentally wrong while hunting in the parched Texas scrubland near the Mexico border. A satchel filled with $2 million seems to be a ship finally arrived, and he dreams of moving his wife Carla Jean out of the trailer park and into the good life. It isn't long before he's being tracked by Anton Chigurh, a psychopathic "debt collector." Sheriff Bell sets out to find Llewelyn, not so much for the propriety of recovering the money but to protect one of his citizens from Chigurh, an evil like nothing Bell has ever seen. The border is a hard land, yet Bell finds that the reflexive murders Chigurh inflicts upon others transforms the lonely vistas, somber deserts, and austere mountains into something horrendous--into no country for old men--or for young ones

Looking for an explanation, Moore talks with ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down and tries to get answers Washington, DC.

The Washington Post's The Fact Checker: The White House's Claim That 7 Million Enrolled In Obamacare 'Was Never Our Target Number'
The White House this week crowed about the fact that, as of the end of the year, 2.1 million Americans have signed up for insurance either through the federal health care exchange or state-run exchanges. The message was that the Affordable Care Act Web site, which had a troubled launch, was turning a corner. At the same time, the administration has backed away from the idea that it suggested that it had a "target" of 7 million enrollees when the enrollment period for 2014 ends in March. As [White House aide Phil] Schiliro put it, "that was never our target number." Let's explore this figure and the administration's enrollment claims (Kessler, 1/3).
The Associated Press: Health Care Glitch Affects 18K W. Virginia Residents
A state official says a glitch in the federal health insurance marketplace has affected about 18,000 West Virginians trying to sign up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Jeremiah Samples of the state Department of Health and Human Resources tells the Charleston Gazette the federal exchange is having problems transferring account information to and from West Virginia's system. He says some other states are having the same problem (1/2).
The Oregonian: Cover Oregon Director Rocky King Resigns Citing Medical Reasons
Rocky King, Cover Oregon's executive director, gave notice of his resignation on Jan. 1, clearing the way for a permanent replacement. King announced his medical leave on Dec. 2, after which Oregon Health Authority Director Bruce Goldberg took over the post on an interim basis. King at the time cited an undisclosed medical condition that had already cost him significant time off work in the previous two years (Budnick, 1/2).
The CT Mirror: Obamacare Coverage Starts, But Some CT Customers Are Still Waiting
More than 34,000 state residents were slated to begin new private insurance plans Wednesday as part of the federal health law. But as the new year began, many people who bought policies through the state's health insurance exchange still hadn't received their first premium bills, which must be paid by Jan. 10 to get coverage this month. John Calkins, a Watertown insurance agent, is among those getting calls from clients who are "panicking a little bit" (Becker, 1/2).
Minnesota Public Radio: Even After January Coverage Deadline, MNsure Struggles
MNsure's serious problems continue even after Tuesday night's deadline for Minnesotans to sign up for coverage that would take effect Wednesday, Jan. 1. In theory, the end of the deadline rush might have resulted in a let-up in traffic on the site. But people hoping to access MNsure's website on Thursday were stymied for most of the business day (Catlin, 1/2).
The Star Tribune: Login Snag Prompts MNsure Website To Go Offline
Glitches and hitches continue to mar the MNsure website, even as the first of several enrollment deadlines for the state's new online insurance exchange has come and gone. The website went down Thursday about noon with a problem in the login area, MNsure spokesman John Schadl said. Consumers found a message that said: "Application and account services are currently unavailable. We are actively working on a resolution and ask that you visit us at a later time. We apologize for the inconvenience" (Crosby, 1/3).
California Healthline: Exchange Applications Hit Million Mark
Covered California signed up roughly 400,000 people for health insurance through Dec. 22, according to a preliminary estimate of enrollment numbers by Peter Lee, executive director of Covered California. The exchange topped the million mark for enrollment applications in the first three months of open enrollment with an official total of 1,064,872 applications through Dec. 28. The official release of complete December enrollment data is expected in mid-January (Gorn, 1/2).

Drupal front-end development and responsive theming for @MCNInteractive and this Atlanta restaurant and bar. Design by Beau Burgess @burgesscreative.
My buddy @thisiskyleadams designed and did the bulk of the dev work on this. I did a lot of the preliminary work on the concept site for the RFP that landed this major account for @MCN, then helped a bunch on the responsive theming. I'll be adding the floorplans and user-experience views for planners and visitors.
I served as lead dev on the front-end on this primo project for @MCNInteractive. Massive team effort integrating a user points system that allows fans to purchase merch, request meet-n-greets, and lots of social goodies. Very member-driven site with private messaging, social sharing, invite system, points and redemptions.
Development project for MCN. Assisted Zach Williams in building this dual-language English/Russian website for Dmitry Shepelev, Russia's Ryan Seacrest (as I imagine him). Multiple content types and Russian translations made this one interesting project.
Development project for @MCN as lead developer. Responsive design with parallax effect, isotope filtering, and many customizations. This was one helluva major project!

Book Presentation of Pigmentacrocies: Ethnicity, Race, and Color in Latin AmericaJoin the afrolatin@ forum and NYU's Department of Social and Cultural Analysis as we celebrate the publication of Pigmentocracies: Ethnicity, Race, and Color in Latin America.
Pigmentocracies is a richly revealing analysis of contemporary attitudes toward ethnicity and race in Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, four of Latin America's most populous nations.
Based on extensive, original sociological and anthropological data generated by the multi year Project on Ethnicity and Race in Latin America (PERLA), this landmark study analyzes ethnoracial classification, inequality, and discrimination, as well as public opinion about Afro-descended and indigenous social movements and policies that foster greater social inclusiveness. A once-in-a-generation examination of contemporary ethnicity, this book promises to contribute in significant ways to policy making and public opinion in Latin America.
About the Author
Edward Telles, PERLA's principal investigator, explains that profound historical and political forces, including multiculturalism, have helped to shape the formation of ethnic identities and the nature of social relations within and across nations. One of Pigmentocracies's many important conclusions is that unequal social and economic status is at least as much a function of skin color as of ethnoracial identification. Investigators also found high rates of discrimination by color and ethnicity widely reported by both targets and witnesses. Still, substantial support across countries was found for multicultural-affirmative policies--a notable result given that in much of modern Latin America race and ethnicity have been downplayed or ignored as key factors despite their importance for earlier nation-building.
The "Book Presentation of Pigmentocracies" is part of the public programming leading up to our second transnational conference Afro-Latin@s Now: Race Counts! to be held in New York City on October 23-25, 2014.
Presented by the afrolatin@ forum and the Latino Studies Program in the Department of Social & Cultural Analysis at NYU.
The conference is generously supported by grants from the Ford Foundation, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the New York Council for the Humanities and Co-Sponsored by the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, El Museo del Barrio and various institutions at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York including the Advanced Research Collaborative (ARC), Institute for the study of the African Diaspora and the Caribbean (IRADAC), the Center for the Humanities and the Dominican Studies Group, as well as support from Carr Business Systems, a Xerox Company.

Covering the Three Missouri MikesThis panel will talk about three black men in Missouri, all named Michael, as a way to think about how American media creates narratives about young black men and how the American public consumes such media. The three subjects are Michael Sam (the first openly gay NFL player, who was recruited by the St. Louis Rams and is now at the Dallas Cowboys), Michael Johnson (the young gay college wrestler who was known as "Tiger Mandingo" and is awaiting trial in St. Charles for alleged criminal HIV exposure), and Mike Brown (the young man killed by Ferguson police office Darren Wilson).
Saeed Jones, Editor of BuzzFeed LGBT and author of PRELUDE TO BRUISE, who has written and edited stories on all 3 men.

Whether you're resting in a mountain cabin, traveling through a city, or being vented out an airlock into outer space, dust is all around you. Microscopic particles—usually a combination of soil, pollen, skin cells, and minerals—can pile up quickly indoors. The problem is exacerbated by tiny creatures called dust mites, which gather in groups of 100 to 500 per gram of dust to devour flakes of human skin while multiplying in number, excreting waste, and probably chittering away. No matter where you are on Earth, a mote of dust is presently traveling straight toward your eye, thanks to the persistent creation of dust in almost any climate humans inhabit.
Even beyond our planet, dust is ubiquitous: astronomers face the universe's untidiness every time they peer through a telescope and find formations of cosmic dust, which absorb the visible light around them. Although it comes from exploding stars rather than flaky humans, space dust isn't so different from the domestic variety: a 2007 paper published in IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science explored the similarities between the formation of dust bunnies under beds and the coagulation of space dust into planets.
Carpet cleaning is in David's blood. His father started the business when David was just a kid. Now he's at the helm, carrying on the family business. David learned a lot from his dad while growing up, including the ins and outs of removing sticky grime from carpets and the importance of customer satisfaction. He also keeps in step with the latest innovations. Using the Prochem Legend truck-mounted system to steam clean carpets, he restores floor coverings to like-new status. Ensuring optimal results, jobs are executed only by IICRC-certified techs. The importance of family is paramount, too, so David only uses solutions that are safe for children and pets. With the same due diligence and dedication they bring to carpet cleaning, techs also steam clean upholstery, employing a variety of cleaning processes to suit all types of fabrics.

Our company provides high quality carpet, area rug and upholstery cleaning. We guarantee reliable, professional and quality service.
For more than 15 years, the techs behind Express Super Dry have been revivifying carpets and upholstery with a patented carbonated solution that uses less water than steam-cleaning techniques. This in turn avoids the soapy residues and soggy rugs that attract dirt, mildew, and mold. Their nontoxic cleaning solution also subdues pet odors and prevents stains from reappearing. When techs finish purifying fibers, they advise owners to let carpets dry for 60 minutes—rather than the days required by steam cleaning or the weeks required by sprinklers—and back their work with a satisfaction guarantee.
Since establishing her company, House Cleaning by Lolita, in 1986, the eponymous Lolita has uncovered a major truth: whether an average American citizen or high-profile senator, everyone gets dirty countertops. That's why Lolita and her team travel throughout the DC Metro area, scouring residences with six levels of home cleaning. Beginning with the basic dusting and mopping, cleanings progress into more detail-oriented tasks such as deep bathroom and kitchen sanitizing, or cleaning of window-blinds and chandeliers. The staff also wields a Diva of Clean steam-cleaning system, which extracts dirt from carpets and upholstery, disinfecting as it restores the fabric's natural sheen and leaving it tender enough to serve with red sauce and crusty bread.
What began as a one-person startup in Prince Georges county has grown into a 24/7 operation of three impeccably trained pressure-washers and structural cleaners, traveling throughout the Maryland, Northern Virginia, and DC areas to render homes and businesses spotless. ETB Solutions' technicians tackle an enormous range of cleanup and maintenance services, from cleaning carpets and upholstery, to power-washing homes and flushing out air ducts with eco- and pet-friendly products. And the techs can customize regular service programs to fit each home and budget, with scheduled cleanings each day, week, month, or in-law visit. The cleaners also connect with insurers to clean up after disasters such as floods and septic back-ups, and work hand-in-hand with builders during construction projects to ensure buildings are free from mold.

A lot has been happening at our gardens! We have been raising seedlings, digging and planting week to week. Take a look at some of these pictures from a variety of our daycares!
A lot has been happening at our gardens! We have been raising seedlings, digging and planting week to week. Take a look at some of these pictures from a variety of our daycares!
What a wonderful start to the winter season! We have been busying ourselves with worms, compost, paper making and learning about how to take care of the planet one small step at a time. It has been fun trying to get the kids to think about their lunches, how much of it is garbage and how much we can actually reuse, reduce and recycle. Most of all, we have had fun playing with, holding and feeding the worms with food directly from their snacks and lunches. These kids are all brave enough to play with them, well actually it is hard to get them to put them back in the bin.
Looking forward to the spring session where we will start up with our seedlings, planting and gardening and generally getting the kids outside, gardening and getting their hands in the dirt!
Happy Valentines day and lots of love to you all!
Teprine Baldo – Green Club tutor.
Managing waste is a contemporary issue that is putting increasing pressure on our environment, both social and natural. As part of Green Club, students spent the month of January and February 2014 reflecting on the nature of trash and how to deal with it in more responsible ways. From recycling to composting (even composting with worms!), students were able to recognize that some of the things we throw out can be quite useful when reused!
Among the activities proposed, the paper-making session turned out to be a huge success! Students were invited to collect used paper found around the school, shred it into tiny bits and turn it into paper pulp using warm water and a blender. A screen was then used to create new sheets of paper with a crafty look! Students were very interested by the whole process and surprised to learn that the basically the same methods are used in recycling facilities around Montreal.
Written by Green Tutor Laurence Fauteux
This internship is designed to create urban farmers who are interested in taking their veggies to market, while also working collectively to design and manage a typical scale community garden plot. Beginning in early March, students will embark on a full season of running a small scale urban garden market, from seedlings to garden to market to preservation, ending in late October. Bringing the farm internship to the city!
Schoolyard gardens are a growing innovation in alternative education spaces. As a space, gardens offer kids the chance to take ownership and feel proud of the way in which their school grounds look. Not only this, but we are seeing immense opportunities for offering regular curriculum classes in the garden, especially topics such as science, art, and health.
This program is ideal for someone who is interested in working with youth, but who is also motivated to plan and manage a garden for an entire season… no small task!
We are accepting applications on a rolling basis – so act fast – as space is limited!
This past fall we began our Green Club's in 15 different daycare's with a brand new staff of Tutors and Green Advisor! Each week we took our program of environmental education into schools ranging from as far west as St. Monica, all the way up north to Our Lady of Pompei and eastwards to Edward Murphy and Gerald McShane. We educated over 170 daycare students on topics ranging from tree identification, and leaf art, to cartography and bird house making.
Green tutors Teprine and Laurence extended the curriculum that had been established in the first 3 years of the green club, bringing their own perspective to the program. We are planning for even more schools in the Winter session, and will be busy writing grants and designing new gardens to be installed at selected schools.
Happy Holidays to all Green Club members, and the educators and technicians who help to make our program an exciting moment in our students week.
Please take a look at some of the pictures from the Fall programing of the Green Club!
Tree Watchers Project John Caboto
Root Vegetable Muffin Making at Nesbitt
As our season of gardening has come to a close, some exciting upgrades have been made at a number or our schools. BASE's Green Initiative Advisor Marcus Lobb met with daycare technicians and wood worker colleagues of his to plan out some important upgrades.
Gerald McShane added a 3-bin composter to their beautiful garden just as the season was coming to end, and the garlic had been planted. This bin, which is made entirely out of cedar, will be able to handle all of the compost that is created by the garden, and also by their in-school composting program. The composter is built so that once the organic matter has broken down you can easily open up the lower doors and remove the rich humus and add it back into the the garden with a shovel. A composter such as this is needed whenever you have a large garden, as the smaller black ones cannot manage the amount of vegetation that is being added on a weekly basis. This compster should last upwards of 15 years if taken care of. A worth-while investment!
John Caboto upgraded their planter box garden by attaching seating to the side of their planter boxes. What they created was an outdoor classroom space capable of seating over 20 students. As you can see in the pictures attached, Green Club members are more than enthused about the recent additions!
Saint Monica made the biggest changes to their magnificent garden with the addition of an outdoor classroom, a two-bin composter and two large planter boxes equipped with seating. The project which was funded by the EMSB Green Plan Award will now make available seating for over 30 students at a given time.
A much needed addition to the garden was a large scale composter that could handle the needs of such a large educational garden. The composter was designed so that you can remove the front panels once the organic matter has broken down into valuable compost. This detail makes for easy shoveling by the students.
Also exciting are the two new large planter boxes with benches attached. These two boxes will be the home to numerous perennial flowers and other plants, acting as the entrance point for the garden.
And lastly, but also the most exciting, is the new outdoor classroom that was built around the pre existing arbor. The benches are attached to planter boxes that will have flowers and other climbing plants growing up and onto the pergola next summer. The seating can hold over 20 students, and gives teachers at the school an alternative setting for holding lessons.

Lead Story
Where was President Obama?
Where was President Obama?
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2014
President Obama says he's "shaken" by this week's violent attacks on three soldiers in Ottawa by an Islamic jihadist. He immediately phoned Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper to offer support and "solidarity." He vowed to "remain vigilant."
Too bad Obama didn't show the same resolve after multiple attacks and plots against our troops by Muslim terrorists on our soil.
And I'm not just talking about the "workplace violence" of jihadist Nidal Hasan, whose Koran-inspired Fort Hood rampage took the lives of 13 American servicemen and servicewomen and one unborn baby.
An entire parade of infidel-hating fanatics targeted U.S. soldiers long before Islamic State barbarians issued threats against our military personnel and their families this fall. What happened in Canada — what ISIS wants worldwide — has been happening here for years under Barry-come-lately's watch.
Where was President Obama when Muslim convert Muhammad Hussain was arrested in Maryland in 2010 after scheming to blow up an Army recruitment office to avenge his "Muslim brothers and sisters"? Hussain's message: "Whoever joins the military, they will be killed." He planned to "blow one recruiting center up … then we hit another … and just keep it movin' … Insha' Allah. … Insha' Allah. … Do it for jihad." Next, Hussain told informants he would take on Andrews Air Force Base, blow it up and then take over the homes of military personnel.
Where was President Obama when Ethiopian-born Muslim Marine reservist Jonathan Melaku — shouting "Allahu Akbar" — fired shots at the Marine Corps Museum in D.C., the Pentagon, a vacant Marine Corps recruiting station in Chantilly, Va., and a Coast Guard recruiting station in Woodbridge, Va., during a months-long jihad campaign in 2010-2011?
Where was President Obama when Muslim Pvt. Naser Jason Abdo, who went AWOL from Fort Campbell, Ky., was arrested in 2011 with explosives, a gun and jihadi propaganda? Abdo, who shouted, "Nidal Hasan Fort Hood 2009!" after his arrest, planned to attack soldiers at a restaurant near the base.
Where was President Obama when a gang of Islamic thugs in Newburgh, N.Y., was arrested plotting to "bring death to Jews" at nearby synagogues and "commit jihad" by shooting planes at the local Air National Guard base with Stinger surface-to-air guided missiles?
Where was President Obama in June 2011 when Seattle jihadists Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif, also known as Joseph Anthony Davis of Seattle, and Walli Mujahidh, also known as Frederick Domingue Jr., were busted after plotting to attack the Military Entrance Processing Station in Seattle in a shooting and grenade spree. "Imagine how many young Muslims, if we're successful, will try to hit these kinds of centers," Abdul-Latif (an admirer of Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan) exulted. "Imagine how fearful America will be, and they'll know they can't push the Muslims around." His bloodthirsty agenda: "Hopefully there will be more soldiers who come out of the woodwork to serve Allah."
Where was President Obama when Muslim convert Muhammad Yusuf (a.k.a. Jose Pimentel) was caught by New York City police in 2011 building a pipe bomb he planned to use to kill police and U.S. soldiers returning from war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Yusuf declared that he would wage holy war in the Big Apple to show that "there (were) mujahideen in the city ready to fight jihad here."
Where was President Obama when Rezwan Matin Ferdaus was arrested in Framingham, Mass., in 2011 while planning an attack on the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with explosives-packed model airplanes, automatic weapons and grenades? Ferdaus declared his intent to "disable their military center," "cut off the military" and then "take care of the politicians."
Where was President Obama after an Islamic terrorist ring in Raleigh, N.C., got busted in 2009 plotting to bomb military installations and die "as martyrs in furtherance of violent jihad"? They received overseas training, conducted surveillance of the Quantico, Va., Marine base and conspired to kidnap, maim and kill American targets abroad, as well.
And where was President Obama in June 2009 when Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad walked into an Arkansas Army recruiting center, murdered 24-year-old Pvt. William Long and gravely wounded 18-year-old Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula?
The Little Rock jihadist had planned on killing many more "infidel forces" in the name of Allah. "The U.S. has to pay for the rape, murder, bloodshed, blasphemy it has done and still doing to the Muslims and Islam," Muhammad warned. "So consider this a small retaliation the best is to come Allah willing. This is not the first attack and won't be the last."
It took three days for the White House to issue a pathetic politically correct statement expressing "sadness" over the attack, which Obama opaquely described as a "senseless act of violence" (instead of the intentional, systematic act of Islamic terrorism that it was). In the same week, the Obama administration issued an immediate condemnation and statement of "outrage" over the shooting death of late-term abortionist George Tiller.
Where was Obama? Sabotaging our borders, restricting our gun rights, working to free Gitmo jihadists, decrying Islamophobia, demonizing conservatives, welcoming jihad sympathizers to the White House and putting politics over national security.
Now "shaken" over the death of a Canadian soldier killed by a jihadist, our president has barely stirred in response to the homegrown Islamic terror campaign against our men and women in uniform under his own aloof nose.
