HEAL Africa's Gender and Justice program tackles the root causes of gender inequality in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo). Through decades of war and centuries of exploitation, traditional social and community structures have broken down to the point where most of the population does not even know that they have rights.
The Gender and Justice program is based on two premises:
- The law must express the collective will of the community, and be reinforced by the judicial system to punish lawbreakers.
- The rights given to women in the 2006 Law on Sexual Violence and the 2005 Constitution must be actively appropriated by women within a community that supports their empowerment.
HEAL Africa's strategy for addressing gender and justice issues is four-pronged:
First, HEAL Africa partners with the American Bar Association to reinforce the judicial system at the provincial, territorial, and community levels so that victims of sexual violence obtain justice, and the community receives the clear message that sexual violence in any form is not tolerated.
Second, HEAL Africa equips religious and community leaders, through gender and justice training, to be advocates for change and mobilizers of their communities by promoting gender equity.
Third, HEAL Africa creates opportunities for men to engage in dialogue and reflection that may counteract the way culture, religions, and schools socialize boys to develop oppressive attitudes towards women, and help them develop a more collaborative form of masculinity.
Fourth, HEAL Africa works closely with primary and secondary schools in the North Kivu and Maniema provinces to train teachers and create youth clubs that provide a safe environment for young boys and girls to discuss gender-related issues and learn about the benefits to both of a more egalitarian social structure.
HEAL Africa recognizes that gains in gender equity and a functioning judicial system will take place only if the whole community is actively involved and strives for inclusiveness in its gender and equality efforts.

top 5 tracks of 2013 that missed out on our mixtape
When l was growing up l relied on mixtapes from my mates to find out about new music. One of the reasons my older brother still hates me is because l used to brutalise his record collection. Robbing Radiohead albums and Bloodhound Gang CDs that the local Woolworths refused sell to me, because at 27 l still look 16 and when l was 16 l looked seven. l would return borrowed items to his room, scratched, worn out and unplayable. Our relationship paid the price. l shifted the blame onto the overzealous cashier who refused to serve me down 'Our Price'. Times have changed. Soundcloud makes life a whole lot easier. Nearly all good music is accessible via this revolutionary, online community. Nearly being the operative, but frustrating word. Yesterday we posted our favourite tracks from the past year, up on the i-D Soundcloud account. However a few choice artists we equally adore prefer to remain more illusive. Refraining from sharing their sounds up on the cloud. To show them the love they deserve, we created this space just for them. Look below.

BP admits to 11 counts of manslaughter for 2010 oil spill disaster
November 15, 2012
Oil giant BP will fork over the largest criminal penalty in the history of the United States and plead guilty to criminal misconduct, sources report, with more charges possibly forthcoming over the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The US Justice Department admitted Thursday afternoon that two BP employees have been indicted with manslaughter for their involvement in the disaster that left 11 workers dead. Meanwhile, BP will pay the US a settlement worth $4.5 billion, including $1.3 in criminal fines, breaking the record for criminal penalties in the country previously held by drug maker Pfizer, who was penalized to the tune of $1.2 billion in 2009.
In exchange for the plea and for also admitting guilt to obstructing Congress, BP will reportedly be in the clear from any further prosecution relating to the oil spill, the sources allege. At least two BP employees might not be off the hook themselves, however, possibly facing criminal manslaughter charges for their role
The April 20, 2010 explosion at the Deepwater Horizon rig managed by BP not only caused the death of nearly a dozen employees onboard a barge near the Mississippi River, but ravaged the Gulf shore by polluting it with 4.9 million barrels of crude oil in the worst spill ever to happen off of America. Up until that point, the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill was the most severe in US history, having resulted in a comparably meager 750,000 barrels polluting Prince William Sound, Alaska due to a tanker crash. In that case, Exxon settled with the US government for what would be only $1.8 billion by today's standards.
Only this past August, the US Justice Department filed pretrial papers revealing that they hoped to charge BP with "reckless management" of their Macondo well in what they attested "constituted gross negligence and willful misconduct." That matter was expected to end up the focus of a civil trial scheduled for early 2013, although the federal government has not yet delivered them with criminal charges.
"We do not use words like 'gross negligence' and 'willful misconduct' lightly," a Justice Department attorney wrote in papers. "But the fact remains that people died, many suffered injuries to their livelihood, and the Gulf's complex ecosystem was harmed as a result of BP and Transocean's bad acts or omissions."
While this week's deal is believed to relieve BP from further prosecutions, sources say the civil charges already brought up by the Justice Department will remain intact. According to the Associated Press, BP acknowledged before Thursday's plea that the proposed settlement "would not include civil claims under the Clean Water Act and other legislation, pending private civil claims and state claims for economic loss."
Other claims as well against BP exist, the AP notes, from banks, businesses and local governments who want compensation for losses caused by a mandated moratorium on drilling announced after the spill, none of which are covered by BP's proposed settlement with private attorneys.
BP has previously estimated that it will spend an additional $7.8 billion or so to settle class-action claims from private plaintiffs including over 100,000 individuals and businesses impacted by the disaster.
Talks between BP and the US government over a settlement for the 2010 oil spill have stalled because the US is insisting that the British oil giant pay at least $18bn, according to reports.
According to the Sunday Times in the UK, a settlement deal may not happen until early next year.
A settlement between $18bn and $21bn is near the level which BP would be required to pay should it be found grossly negligent under the Clean Water Act, said the paper.
BP, which declined to comment on the story, has always denied any liability for the United States' worst offshore environmental disaster.
Reports in July suggested that the US was looking for a settlement of $25bn.
The newspaper said that BP's board is split over whether to pay $18bn or continue to push for a settlement at $15bn, the level it is widely reported to be hoping to settle at.
In other Chevron news: Chevron faces deadline in $19 billion Ecuador case
August 7, 2012
U.S. oil giant Chevron has until midnight tonight to pay a US $19.04 billion Ecuador court judgment for polluting Amazon waterways or officially default and face another lawsuit to seize its assets, this time in Ecuador. Such collection lawsuits are pending against Chevron in Canada and Brazil.
Ecuador Judge Liliana Ortiz on Friday signed an order giving Chevron until midnight tonight to deposit the funds necessary to remediate the oil contamination, which included the dumping of more than 16 billion gallons of toxic waste from oil production into Amazon waterways.
Judge Ortiz's order comes after almost 19 years of litigation.
The case, Aguinda v. ChevronTexaco, began on November 3, 1993 when 30,000 indigenous people and farmers from Ecuador's Amazon filed a class action suit against Texaco in New York federal court alleging massive oil contamination of the rainforest.
For 10 years, Texaco argued before U.S. judges that the case should be transferred to Ecuador's courts. In 2002, a U.S. federal judge granted Texaco's motion and removed the case to Ecuador on the condition that Texaco submit to jurisdiction there and be bound by any ruling of the Ecuadorian courts.
In the meantime, Chevron bought Texaco in 2001, assuming its liabilities and defense of the case.
Texaco operated in Ecuador from 1964 to 1992, building hundreds of oil production facilities. The trial judge in Lagio Agrio found overwhelming evidence that the company dumped billions of gallons of toxic waste into Amazon waterways as a cost-saving measure.
Five indigenous groups in the area have been harmed by the pollution that covers an area the size of Rhode Island. The contamination also caused an outbreak of cancer that has killed or threatens to kill thousands of people in the area, according to evidence before the court.
Judge Ortiz's order is the final step under Ecuador civil procedure to certify the 188-page trial court judgment, which was issued on February 11, 2011. That judgement was unanimously affirmed on appeal in early January. It set the amount of the judgment at $18.2 billion.
Last week, Judge Ortiz raised the final amount of the award to $19.041 billion after calculating various mandatory costs required by Ecuador law.
Chevron stripped most of its primary assets, including service stations, from Ecuador years ago and the company no longer operates in the country.
Pablo Fajardo, the lead Ecuador lawyer on the case, says that for practical purposes, Judge Ortiz's order allows the rainforest communities to execute the Ecuador judgment against Chevron's remaining assets in their home country.
Fajardo estimates Chevron's remaining assets in Ecuador are worth roughly $200 million, including a $96 million court judgment the company won recently in an international arbitration proceeding against Ecuador's government.
Judge Ortiz's order also puts the plaintiffs in a stronger legal position to pursue recognition of the Ecuador judgment abroad under various international treaties and domestic law statutes.
Collection lawsuits are pending against Chevron in Canada and Brazil, where the company has billions of dollars worth of assets. The plaintiffs are asking courts to seize to seize these assets to satisfy the judgment and finance a cleanup of the oil contamination, said Fajardo.
"People in Ecuador are dying because of Chevron's pollution and company's utter contempt for the rule of law," said Fajardo. "Chevron is going to have to be forced by courts to comply with its legal obligations."
Chevron maintains the plaintiffs' allegations that it is responsible for alleged environmental and social harms in the Oriente region of Ecuador are "false."
Chevron says the company never conducted oil production operations in Ecuador, and its subsidiary Texaco Petroleum Co. (TexPet) "fully remediated its share of environmental impacts arising from oil production operations, before leaving Ecuador in 1992."
"After the remediation was certified by all agencies of the Ecuadorian government responsible for oversight, TexPet received a complete release from Ecuador's national, provincial, and municipal governments that extinguished all claims before Chevron acquired TexPet in 2001," the company says.
"All legitimate scientific evidence exonerates Chevron and proves that the remediated sites pose no significant risks to human health or the environment," Chevron says on its website.
If Chevron refuses to pay the court judgment, the company will face a greater risk of liability in the enforcement actions already pending, said Karen Hinton, the U.S. spokesperson for the indigenous and farmer plaintiffs.
If Chevron defaults, Fajardo said his legal team will file court actions to seize the intellectual property rights of various Chevron brands in Ecuador, including Havoline.
An oil spill from a broken Enbridge Energy pipeline in Wisconsin has been contained, the company says, but it could not have come at a worse time for the Canadian company, which is trying to get approval for new pipelines in Canada and the United States.
The 1,200 barrel spill happened on Friday near Grand Marsh in central Wisconsin, population 127. Enbridge Control Center operators shut down and isolated the line and deployed emergency crews to the site. Environment News Service (http://s.tt/1k2Gh)
Following the Deepwater Horizon explosion and spill in 2010, BP used more than 1.8 million gallons of chemical dispersants in an effort to break up the oil. The dispersants also wiped out plankton, according to a new study.
CBC News Posted: Jul 28, 2012 12:00 PM ET
A U.S. government agency is investigating an oil leak of about 1,200 barrels (190,000 litres) that seeped out of an Enbridge pipeline in Wisconsin, which was delivering Canadian crude to Chicago-area refineries.
On Saturday, the U.S. Transportation Department's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration said that it was investigating the cause of the pipeline failure and that an inspector has been sent to the locale.
The Alberta-based company is busy cleaning up the leak and has shut down part of that pipeline. "Enbridge is treating this situation as a top priority. We are bringing all necessary resources to bear," a company official said in a statement after Friday's spill, which forced the closure of Line 14 running through Grand Marsh in central Wisconsin.
"Our immediate focus is on keeping our workers and the public safe as we work to remove the oil and clean up the site," said Richard Adams, vice president of U.S. operations at Enbridge.
It's not known how long the line, which is part of the Lakehead route, will remain closed. The cause of the spill has yet to be determined.
Friday's incident isn't the only oil pipeline leak involving an Alberta-based firm this summer. As much as 475,000 litres of light sour crude escaped last month from a Plains Midstream Canada pipeline into a man-made reservoir, Gleniffer Lake, via the Red Deer River in Alberta.
There's been a dramatic decline in microscopic life on BP's oiled beaches. "It went from a very diverse mix of species to being dominated by a few predators and opportunists," says lead author Holly Bik, a postdoc at the University of California Davis.
A huge spill has released 22,000 barrels of oil and water into muskeg in the far northwest of Alberta.
The spill ranks among the largest in North America in recent years, a period that has seen a series of high-profile accidents that have undermined the energy industry's safety record. The Enbridge Inc. pipeline rupture that leaked oil near Michigan's Kalamazoo River, for example, spilled an estimated 19,500 barrels.
The most recent spill was discovered May 19 emanating from pipe belonging to Pace Oil & Gas Ltd. (PCE-T3.07-0.18-5.54%), a small energy company that produces about 15,000 barrels a day, roughly half of that oil.
The spill has yet to be contained, although "we're very close," Pace chief executive Fred Woods said in an interview Wednesday.
As with many recent pipeline accidents, Calgary-based Pace did not detect a problem, but was informed of the leak by another company after the spill was spotted from an aircraft. The spill, which killed one duck, now covers 4.3 hectares. Mr. Woods declined comment on how long it was leaking before detection.
It's been two years since the Deepwater Horizon disaster unleashed 4.9 million barrels of oil on the Gulf of Mexico. In the midst of the disaster, BP and its contractors did everything they could to keep people from seeing the scale of the disaster. But new photos released Monday offer some new insight to just how grim the Gulf became for sea life.
You can see the rest here. (Warning: soul-crushingly sad.)
"The class which has the power to rob upon a large scale has also the power to control the government and legalize their robbery."—Eugene Debs
A former engineer for BP PLC has been arrested and accused of deleting text messages detailing how much oil was gushing into the Gulf of Mexico as BP tried to staunch the Deepwater Horizon spill in the spring of 2010.
Kurt Mix, of Katy, Texas, is charged with two counts of obstructing justice for deleting from his iPhone hundreds of text messages he exchanged with a co-worker and a contractor, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.
The complaint represents the first criminal charges brought against any workers involved in the accident or its aftermath. A lawyer for Mix, who is expected to appear in court Tuesday afternoon, couldn't immediately be identified.
BP said in a statement it wouldn't comment on the charges against Mix but that the company had clear policies requiring preservation of evidence in the case. The company said it was "cooperating with the Department of Justice and other official investigations into the Deepwater Horizon accident and oil spill."
Mix was part of an internal team BP set up to estimate the amount of oil leaking from the well as well as to try to stop the leak.

Two years, already? Now reading this excellent piece:
The following is an excerpt from Run to Failure: BP and the Making of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster by Abrahm Lustgarten.
The burst of gas came from so deep within the bowels of the earth it may as well have come from another world. Thirteen thousand feet beneath the ocean's silty floor and the earth's crust and another five thousand feet underwater—a total depth farther than fourteen Empire State buildings stacked atop one another—hydrocarbons in the form of hot fluid saturated with dissolved methane seeped through the reinforced walls of a new oil well.
The well, an exploratory venture drilled by BP and called Macondo, was a three-mile-long tube of cement and steel that had been burrowed into the million-and-a-half-year-old rock in the weeks before. It was one of the industry's most important new efforts to find oil in the deep waters off the southern coast of the United States, and, while not the deepest, the Macondo was pushing the limits of drilling technology and risk.
This particular well had been a cursed project from the start. Miles above, where the sun skipped along the lapping waves of the Gulf of Mexico, the Macondo project's 126 oil workers had battled for weeks to control wild kicks of gas and to adapt to a series of setbacks doled out by this complicated and unpredictable well. Under stress and guided by conflicting mandates to drill quickly, drill safely, and drill cheaply, the workers had often made the wrong decisions. Now the Macondo was preparing to issue them one last challenge.
Inside the well, the gas, squeezed out of the earth by the natural pressure of the compressed rock and shoved upward by its own buoyancy, shot skyward at a pace that would bring it to the surface of the gulf in a matter of minutes. As it rose it expanded rapidly, the volume increasing the higher it got in the well, until the steel pipe and casing that channeled it upward could barely contain its explosive force.
On the ocean floor, the kick—as such a geologic burp is called in the oil industry—shot through the top of the well at the seafloor and continued upward through the mile-deep water in the long hose of steel called a riser pipe that connected the well to the surface. There, it slammed into the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, a thirty-story structure with a footprint the size of an average Walmart Supercenter floating in the Gulf of Mexico. With a burst like a canon, pent-up pressure from the oil and gas exploded from the twenty-one-inch pipe, which rose up out of the dark water. Bolts sheared off and valves were forced open. Drilling mud that had filled the well to cool the drill bit and balance the well pressure spewed across the deck of the rig, rushing against doors and spilling across stairways. With a roaring hiss, a cloud of natural gas began to envelop the rig.
On the drilling floor, the Deepwater's driller on duty, Dewey Revette, had been monitoring the well readings and watching for a kick, but he hadn't seen the signs. When the blowout came, Revette, a driller named Stephen Curtis, and the rig's toolpusher, or drilling supervisor, Jason Anderson, scrambled to control the burst of gas. Anderson, cool-headed, had spent nine years working on the Deepwater Horizon and knew what to do. First, he diverted the spurting mud into a gas separator, thinking it would help capture the explosive materials from the messy mud. Then he triggered one of the emergency valved on the rig's blowout preventer, a three-hundred-ton piece of machinery lying on the gulf's floor meant to seal off the well in the case of a violent kick. But it was too late.
Two flights below, on the Deepwater Horizon's second deck, Mike Williams manned the rig's electronics shop, next to the engine room. A few feet away, diesel turbines generated the platform's power and spun the drill bits miles inside the earth. Suddenly, Williams heard a deafening whine as the revolutions of the engines increased. But the danger—an envelope of gas that ballooned from the top of the riser pipe on the drilling floor above—was invisible. Neither Williams nor anyone else on the rig except the small group that had scrambled to drill deck had been told the Macondo was blowing out.
The rig had an extensive network of sensors that were supposed to detect a combustible cloud of gas before it could reach the engines and the control room and issue a warning. Those alarms were meant to trigger a series of closing valves designed to keep the gas from burning up in the engines. But the sensors didn't react, and the valves never shut. The gas saturated the air, turning the rig's engines' normal cooling and ventilation intake into a source of gaseous fuel. The motors sucked the fumes out of the air, screaming higher and faster, their pistons whipping back and forth furiously. Another critical safety backup, the blowout preventer that Anderson had already tried to trigger in order to cut off the well, also failed, meaning the gas cloud on the rig would only get bigger. By the time Williams realized what was unfolding, there was little he could do to change it. He ran toward a fortified steel exit door, but as he reached it, one of the engines exploded. The six-foot-tall plate of metal blew off its hinges, striking him midstride. Dazed and bleeding, he slowly picked himself up, only to be slammed back down again by a devastating second blast.
On the deck above Williams, the Deepwater Horizon's derrick was instantly engulfed in flames. The men on the drilling floor, including Jason Anderson, were killed quickly, but dozen of others were crushed or twisted or slashed by flying debris and were desperately crawling out of their own horrific emergencies, trying not to be entombed in an industrial grave.
Williams stumbled out toward a set of steel steps only to find that the walkway, which would have taken him up to the main deck, was missing. The engines were gone; the whole back of the rig was gone. Wiping away blood that blocked his vision, Williams sought another way. He heard a plea for help and stumbled over the body of an injured colleague. Above them a wall of black smoke drifted up from raging, seventy-five-foot flames. Williams couldn't carry the man. All he could do was try to save himself.
A short time later, desperate to escape the searing heat and giant cherry-balls of fire, Williams leapt off the railings into the black night, tumbling ninety feet into the roiling, burning, oil-streaked water of the Gulf of Mexico.

Tar balls from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster washing up in the Gulf of Mexico after storms are full of potentially deadly bacteria, U.S. scientists say.
Auburn University microbiologist Cova Arias and colleagues discovered tar balls found months after the spill contained high levels of bacteria, including 10 times the level of Vibrio vulnificus as found in surrounding sand.
V. vulnificus is a leading cause of seafood-borne disease fatalities nationwide, and it has a fatality rate of 20 percent to 30 percent when it infects skin wounds.

All Blacks beaten at last as England turn on the style
Related links

England ended New Zealand's 20-game unbeaten run with a simply sensational 38-21 victory over the world champions at Twickenham.
After leading 15-0 early in the second half, England were pegged back by two converted tries inside four minutes.
But they hit back in magnificent style with three tries of their own to claim their first win over the All Blacks since 2003 and end a nine-match losing streak against New Zealand.
England started fast and dominated the early possession, while there were early signs of New Zealand frailty both in the scrum and from Dan Carter's boot - as the fly-half missed a couple of very kickable penalties.
There was no such fallibility from England's Owen Farrell as he knocked over three nerveless first-half penalties, all of them earned by England's power at the scrum and in the contact area, and a 'free-shot' drop goal with another penalty coming.
After the All Blacks had been kept scoreless in the first half for the first time since 1998, Farrell extended England's lead to 15 points a minute after the break following another scrum penalty.
The game was turned on its head for the first time from New Zealand's first real attack, as Carter put a penalty into the corner and as the ball was swept to the opposite flank, Julian Savea beat Manu Tuilagi and Ben Youngs in the corner with a magnificent finish.
Carter converted from the touchline and three minutes later repeated the dose after incessant New Zealand pressure ended with Kieran Read crashing over in the opposite corner.
England looked in danger of being swept aside but suddenly they found a second wind - and it blew New Zealand away.
Farrell put Brad Barritt through and he exchanged passes with Tuilagi before scoring in the corner, although Farrell failed to convert.
England needed to score again to maintain the momentum and they did almost immediately, as Tuilagi crashed through Carter in midfield, shrugged off Richie McCaw and put Chris Ashton in for his swallow-dive finish.
Farrell's missed conversion was quickly atoned for by Tuilagi's interception try, as the centre picked off Read's pass and trotted in for a try, which this time Farrell converted.
The mighty All Blacks were in disarray by this stage and England took advantage with two Freddie Burns penalties to move out of sight.
Mako Vunipola was sin-binned for not stopping after the referees' whistle in the closing stages and wonderful hands put Savea in to score his second, but by then Twickenham was in celebration mode.The scale of England's achievement can be gauged by the fact that this was just their seventh win over New Zealand, while their margin of victory surpassed the 13-point record that dates back to 1936.
New Zealand had won 19 and drawn one of their last 20 games, while England had won just one of their last six - against Fiji three weeks ago.
The stats and the experts all suggested England had no chance, but England made a mockery of that in an incredible second half that will go down in Twickenham folklore.

We enjoyed staying in a very historical house (1749)and learning about its history. We asked and were shown the other rooms, which were not rented at the time. Breakfast, varied, colorful, filling and very tasty was served at the time requested.Off street parking was spacious. We received an email informing us the pool was not available for use, which for our trip (a family reunion in a neighboring town), was no problem. We enjoyed our breakfast time as the co-owner joined us in conversation as the meal was served. It was interesting to see and learn how a historical house is renovated to meet the needs of a B&B. Our room was small, due to the installation of a bathroom, but perfect for our needs. A suite and a larger room are available with more space, each with it's own price.

It was one of the most economical accommodation options in the area and a very quiet location.
If you are unfamiliar with the locale, finding this hotel in the dark is difficult.This hotel is very austere, a true 'plain jane', but I found the bed comfortable and the one staff member I interacted with was helpful. However, the room layout placed the bed in close proximity to the window-mount a/c unit. The chilled air blew directly onto the bed and the noise of operation negated the benefit of being in a quiet locale. The bathroom was clean, but small; the door rubbed on the toilet as it swung closed. All-in-all, nothing really wrong but still a less than restful stay.

Many of the reviews that i read described this hotel as "Slummy" and trashy and yes i would agree with them, the rooms are very old, even the TV is secured with a cord to prevent burglary, so that says a lot about the area and the customers. The carpet and the bedsheets made me itch. Overall its a strange place which makes you question if your car will be broken into overnight, while nothing happened to me during my stay, i chose this location for the price, any in the future i will be paying extra and upgrading to a better class of hotel so i don't have to feel like I'm walking around or sleeping in filth.

(HealthDay News) -- Dyslexia, also called developmental reading
disorder, is a condition in which the brain doesn't correctly
process certain images, such as numbers and letters, says the U.S.

Symptoms of dyslexia include problems understanding simple
sentences and difficulty rhyming and recognizing words. Dyslexia
also makes it difficult to associate written words with the

John Waters was the Alfred Hitchcock to Divine's Tippi Hedren. The Cukor to his (or should we say her?) Hepburn, the Henson to his Piggy. What better holiday than Valentine's Day to revisit the enduring love affair between one of Hollywood's most camp directors and his personal muse? Visual artist Tony Feher has bravely chosen a film for February's On Screen @ Blaffer series not generally associated with National Cupid Day. Appropriately dubbed My Filthy Valentine: Pink Flamingos, the film screens complete with Divine's signature dog doo-eating scene. The outdoor event is framed by Feher as a ''feel good movie.'' He reasons: ''No matter how bad you felt going in, you'll feel better on the way out realizing that compared to what was on the screen, things aren't so bad after all.'' A word to uninitiated fans of Waters' later, tamer works: This ain't Hairspray.

10.4: Better widget management and security in 10.4.2
One other new tidbit I ran across that bears mentioning, is that if you download a widget with the same name, like an updated version of a widget you have installed, it alerts you to the fact that you are going to overwrite an existing widget. It even tells you that the current widget will be closed out (if it's active on your dashboard) before installing the new one.
10.4: Better widget management and security in 10.4.2
I find it curious that when you install a new widget, it opens it in dashboard and asks if you want to keep or delete the widget. If you get out of dashboard and come back, it automatically kept the widget. You would think it would discard by default or keep asking if you want to keep or delete, but no...

USGA Changes Future Dates of U.S. Amateur & U.S. Women's Amateur
Beginning in 2012, the United States Golf Association will shift its schedule for future U.S. Amateur and U.S. Women's Amateur Championships to help avoid conflicts between the competitive golf season and the fall academic calendar.
"Starting in 2012, our goal, for the most part, will be to end the Women's Amateur on the second Sunday in August and the U.S. Amateur on the third Sunday in August," said Jeff Hall, USGA managing director of Rules and Competitions. "Our intent is to give a large majority of the players who are still students a chance to compete in the national amateur championship and begin their fall class schedules on time."
The 2012 U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colo., was originally scheduled for August 20-26. It will now be played August 13-19. The 2013 U.S. Amateur at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., will be conducted August 12-18.
In some instances, the final day of the U.S. Amateur will not fall on the third Sunday in August.
The 2011 U.S. Women's Amateur will be played August 8-14 at Rhode Island Country Club in Barrington, R.I. The 2011 U.S. Amateur will be played August 22-28 at Erin Hills in Erin, Wis.

NFL May Soon Mean No Foul Language
link Roger Goodell criticized harshly over handling of Ray Rice mess, but he isn't the one who threw the punch – NY Daily News.
It may only be apparent to those not involved in generating ratings, but the media inspired frenzy of outrage over Ray Rice's intemperate actions looks more and more like the tabloid journalism that now dominates American media. It's not in debate that Rice's actions were ungallant at best and perhaps criminal at worst. But there are mechanisms to determine that.
I'm not sure how his employer, the NFL and it's head, Roger Goodell could be held responsible, legally or morally for Rice's actions. In this particular instance, both the right and left factions of the media are tripping over each other to determine who gets the prize for being most sanctimonious.
When the Benghazi scandal happened a few years ago, people were actually killed due to incompetence; yet to this day, no one has been held to account, no head of any department has resigned, no one has been fired. Heck, the person directly involved may become the next President. But poor Roger Goodell; he is being pressured to resign over the perceived mishandling of Rice's case. One minute, he is running a lucrative business and next thing he knows, his head is on the block.
As was the case of former LA Clipper's owner Donald Sterling, he is being tried in the court of public opinion and held to a standard that is totally fabricated by the PC media. At the very least, what this type of arbitrary morality does is to introduce a new layer of bureaucracy to the employment process by way of more boxes to tick off during the hiring of workers–in any job. We can think of a number of items to tick off in the employment application:
Do you beat your spouse or significant other?
Do you smoke in bed?
Do you recycle?
Do you leave your children in hot cars with windows up? Your dogs?
Have you ever kicked a cat or dog?
Do you text while driving?
Do you make fun of minorities or fat people?
Do you leave the toilet seat up?
I could go on, but could never possibly anticipate the next moral outrage that will be elevated from tsk tsk level to crimes against humanity by the sensationalist media. If the above standards were the filter for NFL players, you may be lucky to field 4 teams worth of people and the product would be as interesting as girls' soccer. In the Rice case, it's not a stretch to have all other institutions that he may have contact with withdraw their support as well for fear of being seen as endorsing of his conduct. The state driver's license can be revoked, his Starbucks card and maybe even his American Express points could be cancelled. The heads of those corporations should be squirming as we write.

I think I'm pretty smart and am good at figuring stuff out, I like to do things myself because I don't usually trust others to do it my way, but I often take a couple of trys to get it my way anyway.
Hopefully I can get some good tips to make my work a little more efficient.
Thanx in advance.

When Half-Life 2: Episode Two launches early next year, it'll come packaged with two tasty extras - Team Fortress 2 and, what we're concerned with here, Portal. Portal, for those recently emerging from under a rock, is a puzzle style game where players use a 'portal gun' to open entry and exit portals to solve, well, puzzles. It sounds weird and indeed is a real head-screw to watch in action, but with Valve Software at the development helm you can be sure it'll be as entertaining as it is odd. Not too many moons ago we caught up with Kim Swift, one of the members of the Portal dev team, and Valve's Doug Lombardi to find out more...
What's the background of the Portal development team?
Kim Swift: Basically, all seven of us originally came from Digipen Institute of Technology, which is located over in Redmond - just down the road from here. For our senior project we created a game called Narbacular Drop. It was sort of an early test of our ideas on how to create a game using portals.
Every year Digipen holds an expo for graduating seniors that brings in various games developers to basically help get students jobs - and a couple of people from Valve came by and invited us to come up to the offices to show the game to Gabe Newell. After about fifteen minutes into our demo, Gabe offered us a job to make what's now called Portal. We were just completely blown away, we stood in the parking lot just drooling a little bit and looking confused. It was an amazing shock.
In what ways is Portal an improvement over Narbacular Drop, what has being at Valve brought to the development process table?
Kim Swift: A lot of what makes Portal better than NB is just adopting some of the Valve design processes they have here. Number one: playtesting. When we first got here we started our first playtest maybe two weeks after working here. We had one room and it was sort of a similar idea to the first room you saw - two fixed portals and you went in one and out the other.
We started playtesting that right away, and got lots of information from just playing that one level. Basically, every week we bring someone in to playtest the game from beginning to end and we get a good idea of what mistakes we've made, what are better ways to fix the game, whether or not we're teaching players the right things. It's been really helpful, it's something I wish we'd known at school - we never really playtested our games very much.
How did it feel taking on the Half-Life universe? Intimidating?
Kim Swift: It is a little nerve-racking, because it's obviously this amazing fiction - and we're of course students right out of Digipen - and we get the privilege to get ourselves into the Half-Life world. It's a great privilege and I'm excited about it.
Portal looks sick-inducing at times. How does your thought process work coming up with puzzles. Ever have to rethink? To watch it's very confusing...
Kim Swift: The way we design our puzzles is that we all sit down together as a team - the artists, programmers, level designers. We all sit down and pretty much decide goals for each level; we want the player to use these particular gameplay objects say a box to open a door, or to use a 'fling' - which is when you put one portal on the wall and one on the floor and you use your momentum from standing high up on a ledge to gain acceleration to toss yourself out of the other portal. So we say 'Okay we want to use one of those' and we figure out the layout of a level - we draw it out on the whiteboard and then one of us goes and designs it. Then we playtest it and see if it works or not.

text: Business Wearable shipments will hit 130M by 2018, but these are not yet 'must-have' devices Above: Wearables still have a long way to go before they are a "must-have," like smartphones or underwear.Image Credit: Shutterstock December 2, 2013 11:19 AM Rebecca Grant 0 Someday in the future, wearables could become like underwear — something you feel vulnerable leaving home without. But that day has not come yet. Juniper Research released new findings today estimating that mobile smart wearable device shipments will approach 130 million by 2018. That is 10 times more than this year. It also boosts a previous Juniper report which said that the market is expected to expand from $1.4 billion to $19 billion. The increased estimates are largely due to an upsweep in consumer awareness as well as a number of new products that target a broader group of people and needs. Wearables have been one of the hottest areas of tech this year. Advancements in sensor technology, big data, cloud services, mobile computing, and low-power wireless connectivity have created a "perfect storm" for wearables. Fitness trackers gave rise to the "quantified self movement," but the cope of what wearables can do is extending far beyond counting our steps or heartbeat. Editor's note: Our upcoming DataBeat/Data Science Summit, Wednesday and Thursday in Redwood City, focuses on the most compelling opportunities for businesses in the area of big data analytics and data science. There are just a few seats left, so be sure to register today! They can be used to guide surgeons during a procedure, help people capture every moment of their life, or help parents keep track of their kids. We've got Google Glass (and competitors) pioneering computers for our faces; devices like the Nike Fuelband, FitBit, and Jawbone Up jockeying to be the go-to fitness tracker; and a bevy of smartwatches from Pebble, Samsung, and others that let us stay connected from our wrist. Juniper predicts that the market is only going to get more crowded and the competition fiercer. The opportunities are huge, and small startups as well as tech giants are all looking to make money here. This will likely lead to the various players targeting specific categories or subsegments. However, achieving mass adoption is not easy. Wearables need to both provide utility and convenience beyond what smartphones already provide while also receding into the background. Google Glass and Samsung Galaxy Gear have both taken flak for being conspicuous. It seems like all wearables products across the board are struggling to find the right balance between offering a full set of functions and maintaining simplicity. Despite these optimistic projections and consumer excitement, wearables are not yet a "must have" like smartphones (or underwear), and the industry still has a long way to go. VentureBeat is studying mobile marketing automation. Chime in, and we'll share the data.
