Ninety students from the Jean Massieu School of the Deaf enjoyed an exclusive visit with Signing Santa Claus to share their Christmas wishes. During this time, they were told a story by an ASL signing storyteller by the fireplace, decorated cookies and received a voucher for complimentary prints of their photo with Santa.
Santa is Ken McLean from Denver. He has been a signing Santa for five years.

"If history tells us anything it's that whistle-blowers are usually treated kindly, and claims of national security much less so."
Here's my interview with Edward Snowden's legal adviser, Ben Wizner, one year after Snowden revealed himself as the NSA leaker.
Shen Tong is a Chinese dissident who helped lead the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.
Ahead of the 25th anniversary of the crackdown, I asked him about his experience during the demonstrations, and the chilling moment when he realized troops were not shooting rubber bullets.
We also talked about a lack of awareness in China about what happened back then.
"It seems like there is a collective amnesia not only due to the lack of information but also due to at least this tacit agreement between the post-'89 police state and the urban population," he tells me via satellite from New York.
"'Let's forget about the past and why rock the boat' because there are several groups of elite populations, not just in China, that are making so much money so quickly."
But Shen is certain that the collective amnesia concerning Tiananmen will inevitably lift.
"There are plenty of indications that collective memory, so important to the national psyche, cannot be forgotten," says Shen.
"So even though a lot young people don't know the details... those memories can come back very quickly as we've seen time and again in history."
Before his arrest in 2009, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo would write a poem every year to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown.
The poems have been translated into English by Jeffrey Yang and published in the compilation, "June Fourth Elegies."
I talked to Yang about Liu Xiaobo's poetry, and the power of poetry to remember an event that has been publicly erased in China.
In an unassuming office building in Hong Kong, is the world's first museum dedicated to the Tiananmen crackdown of 1989.
Let's go inside.
Many CNN viewers know him as Mira Sorvino's guide in "Every Day in Cambodia," the 2013 CNN Freedom Project documentary that fixed a spotlight on child sex trafficking in the country.
American activist Don Brewster has dedicated his life to saving Cambodia's children. As the founder of Agape International Mission, he has helped rescue hundreds of girls from sexual slavery.
In Hong Kong, I talked to Brewster about how he tracks down Cambodia's enslaved girls, helps to rebuild their lives, and equips local communities to join the fight against the despicable trade.
Brewster also tells me about the impact of the Freedom Project documentary, and how it has led to justice for some of the girls in Cambodia.
This week, the Hong Kong government started to destroy almost 30 tons of confiscated ivory.
It is destroying the massive stockpile by burning it. Officials plan to incinerate about three tons of illegal ivory a month. The process is expected to take at least a year.
Ivory has long been valued in China for making prized seals and carvings - turning China into a global hub for the illegal ivory trade.
So can this high-profile government program send a strong enough message to end the public's appetite for elephant tusks?
I talked to wildlife activist Sharon Kwok for her reaction to the campaign.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has voted to move forward with a proposal that could create Internet "fast lanes." Now the FCC will collect public comments on the new rules for net neutrality.
There have long been concerns that the rules would undermine an open Internet where all content is treated equally, and instead allow companies to pay for priority access.
A Twitter chat earlier this week reveals that the FCC is concerned about protecting an open Internet and is considering all options.
FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler tweeted, "Title II is a viable option we're considering. We are listening and welcome continued discussion. #FCCNetNeutrality"
That's a reference to Title II of the Communications Act. Currently, broadband Internet is not bound by those common-carrier regulations.
Our regular tech contributor Nick Thompson, editor of the NewYorker.com, points out that there are two ways to for the FCC to safeguard net neutrality: pass new rules that could get bogged down in court, or reclassify Internet providers as public utilities under Title II.
Click on to hear Nick break down the issues at stake and the options for the FCC.
It has been 30 years since the United Nations adopted the Convention Against Torture, which commits all governments to combating the abuse.
And yet, torture remains widespread across Asia.
Amnesty International reports there are at least 23 Asia-Pacific countries still carrying out acts of torture. It adds that the true number is likely to be higher.
The human rights group says China and North Korea are among the worst offenders.
Torture is also used to force confessions or silence activists in other countries in the region including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.
What is needed to finally stop torture?
I posed that question to Roseann Rife, East Asia Research Director of Amnesty International. Click on to hear her thoughts on what can finally end the brutal practice.
Alibaba has filed its IPO in New York to raise $1 billion, but former Alibaba CEO David Wei is confident it will raise even more than Facebook's $16 billion bonanza.
Though many anticipate a blockbuster IPO, industry watchers also expect significant challenges ahead for the Chinese e-commerce giant.
How will Alibaba address concerns about the amount of counterfeit goods sold by its users - concerns that prompted Wei to resign after a fraud inquiry in 2011?
And how will Alibaba manage the shift to mobile, especially given the threat from Tencent's WeChat - the Chinese mobile app already on its way to becoming a global brand?
Click on for my conversation with China tech investor and former Alibaba CEO, David Wei.
(His catchphrase to describe founder Jack Ma may raise an eyebrow!)
Authorities have identified the two passengers who used stolen passports to travel on the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
Both are Iranian men. Neither is believed to have any terror link, easing initial fears that foul play could be behind the plane's disappearance.
Earlier in the day, Malaysian officials identified the first passenger as 19-year-old Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, who they believe was trying to emigrate to Germany.
But why were stolen passports used on the missing airliner? And how deep is the airport security flaw it exposes?
Earlier, I talked to Phil Robertson, Deputy Director Asia Division of Human Rights Watch. He contextualizes why Mehrdad would use a stolen passport to reach Germany.
Robertson says that after the Green Revolution in Iran, "There were many Iranians who fled to Malaysia. Malaysia is a country where you can get visa-free entry for many Middle East passports. And so a significant number of asylum seekers from Iran did end up in Malaysia."
As for what the incident says about airport security and screening in Malaysia, Robertson says, "It's very interesting. I was a bit surprised to see people with stolen passports elude security at the Malaysia airport. That's one of the more effective and efficient airports in Southeast Asia."
Click on to hear more from Robertson including his thoughts on whether the two men were part of a human smuggling operation, and the thriving trade for stolen passports in Southeast Asia.

Updated: 11/10/2008 - Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson doesn't have a plan yet for his quarterbacks Saturday night at Kentucky. He made it clear that whether Mackenzi Adams makes his fourth consecutive start or Chris Nickson makes his first start in more than a month, the plan will not change for the Commodores (5-4, 3-3). "I think both of them have the same kind of skill set, so we're not going to have a different game plan for either one of them," Johnson said Monday. "Both of them should be able to play and should be able to master the game plan."

Manchester United 0 Liverpool 3: Brendan Rodgers hasn't banned talk of the title at Anfield after Liverpool close gap on Chelsea at top of Premier League table
Victory at Old Trafford solidified Liverpool's title credentials
Monday 17 March 2014
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers insists he has not banned his players from talking about a possible bid for the Barclays Premier League title.
Reds captain Steven Gerrard, who scored two penalties and hit the post with a third, believes Sunday's 3-0 win at Manchester United means Liverpool are genuine contenders along with Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Rodgers has long played down the likelihood of his side winning a first league championship since 1990 and does not intend to start promoting their chances now, although he is happy for his players to use it for inspiration.
"I've not banned it (talk of the title). We have better things to talk about," he said after Liverpool moved back into second place, four points behind Chelsea with a match in hand.
"It is about improving and getting better. I don't lose sleep over it.
"We are up there on merit so of course we have an opportunity.
"I didn't say [we have] no chance. If you think we have a chance then write it.
"I try to not expect so much and let the players do the talking. We try to remain dignified in our work and our players are doing all the talking.
"We will focus on the next game against Cardiff. I think other teams will drop points - we may well drop points, we may not - but I can only look at our next game and I've done that since I walked through the door and I'm not going to change."
Liverpool recorded their first victory at Old Trafford since 2009 and only their 16th league win on the ground in 118 years thanks to Gerrard's penalty brace and a late third from Luis Suarez.
And a fired-up Gerrard was certainly more bullish than his manager when asked what the final nine matches of the season may hold in store.
"We've showed that we are genuine contenders and we are going to fight to the end for this," he told Sky Sports 1.
"We believe it but I've said many times that in football the easiest thing to do is talk the talk.
"We've got to go and treat Cardiff like Manchester United and we've got to treat Sunderland like Manchester United.
"If we do we will win a lot of games until the end of the season. The rest of the teams around us have to believe we're going for it."

Mod edit: In case you missed it, UV issued a statement.
How much business can you be doing if you aren't shipping product out to someplace like Right Stuf? Not to mention, they haven't licensed anything, anime or live action, since 2008. Their titles are also not available through Amazon, except Market Place retailers.
However, I guess their own online store still lists their current licenses for sale and at half off. I thought perhaps they were just liquidating their own stock.

Okay, I guess that makes sense. Can't sell stuff you don't have or can't get.
I don't like to shop on Right Stuf anyway. I prefer to buy stuff that is in-stock not "in-stock". Every order I've placed on Right-Stuf, which totals to 8, I believe... all said "in-stock" but then, come to find out, were not in stock. One of them I waited around almost 2 months before officially cancelling the order...haven't ordered since.
On the other note, I didn't even know Urban Vision was still in business; I thought they've been gone for years, just sold off their titles or something, hahaha.

So sad.

Sorry for getting off topic!
Must just be unlucky.
In my experience I've been buying from Rightstuf for 3 years, I've ordered from them probably close to 20 time as a matter of fact and I've never had that experience. In fact, once I happened to order something that went out of stock too quickly (it was a huge sale) and they contacted me twice to apologize for the delay and find out whether I wanted to keep my order or cancel. I waited it out and as soon as they got the item in stock (only a short time) they shipped it out as soon as possible. I've never had anything to complain about, least of all their customer service.

I've placed 370 orders with them, just archived the 344th as completed & 26 open orders.
If it says "In Stock" it usually ships pretty quick unless you waited too long. I've had them drop out of stock waiting during a sale, but they still have to rely on the original companies. Funi & their own titles often ship prior to street date if you pre-order early enough. I was getting Gravitation a month early by pre-ordering early. If the street date passes on a pre-order, I always put the blame on the distributor. (I'm growing suspicious DMP is slow to encourage people to shop Akadot. Yashakiden 2 claims it was printed in May, I ordered in June & just got it last week.)
Drama Queen is another story. I see the Mandayuu & Me I ordered 10/1/06 has a release date at the end of the month...we'll see.

"I have known Coach Roof since I was a baby," said Pike. "He and my dad were roommates in college."
Pike's father and Roof were teammates at Georgia Tech in the eighties, so their football relationship extends much further than from just a recruiting standpoint. Aside from Roof, Pike has a couple of other contacts at Auburn as well.
"Coach Malzahn and Coach Trooper [Taylor] would be the two coaches that I am closest with though," said Pike. "Coach Trooper and Coach Malzahn have been recruiting me the hardest so I have the best relationships with them since we talk all the time."
Although he knows most of Auburn's coaching staff now, Pike said the coaching staffs' on-field successes were not the only reason he chose Auburn.
"I just felt so comfortable there," said Pike. "I felt like I could sit down in any coaches' office and talk to him about anything, not just football, but life. So, I felt like it was a good fit. I also thought I had a good chance of competing to play early."
Playing early in college is every recruit's dream that rarely becomes a reality, especially for young quarterbacks. However, Pike said he is willing to do the work it takes to make it happen.
"I am working hard and I am ready to get down there and win a championship," said Pike. "They said the best player is going to play and that's anywhere. So, if I come in and compete and work hard, I think I have a pretty good chance of playing."
Last year's national championship team may have been the factor that pushed Pike toward Auburn, but the depth of the team may be the factor that holds him back.
"I know [Cameron Newton and the 2010 Auburn national championship team] is going to be a lot to live up to," said Pike. "At the end of the day, my rating doesn't really matter anymore. College coaches know what they want and what they are looking for. I have a lot to live up to at Auburn and I am hoping that when I get there, I can help them win a couple national championships myself."
Pike said he is trying to create a recruiting class that can become national contenders themselves when their time comes.
"I am just trying to build a strong class," said Pike. "We have been getting some good guys. We just got Jovon Robinson, a running back that just committed last week. So, we are just trying to get some guys in now, a couple more receivers and some linemen. We are working hard on it."
Pike knows that without a strong backing from his line, a quarterback cannot be great. The same holds true of the backing he gets from his father.
"My dad is always there for me," said Pike. "Just using him for advice, since he has played on all levels, has been great. My dad just tries to tell me to relax and enjoy the game. You have to have fun. If aren't having fun, you aren't going to enjoy it. So, I just go out there and play hard. He is always there to support me."
Pike reported that although everyone at the Elite 11 is there to win, all of the recruits have become close friends.
"It's great. Everybody is out here to win, but at the end of the day, we are all friends," said Pike. "Everybody is here to get better. It's just fun to come out here and compete and take little things from guys that have played on every level. We have all learned a lot. Getting in the film room and working out here with guys that have played on the college level and guys who are or were in the NFL has been great. I am just taking bits and pieces from everything that I can use to improve my game."
Although Pike is definitely a quarterback, he said that if he were to play a tight end, he would want Boise State commit Nick Patti throwing the ball to him. Patti and Pike have been working together throughout the week.
"He is undersized, but, man, he has a cannon," said Pike. "I would definitely want Nick throwing to me. Nick is going to be a great fit for Boise State."
Pike confirmed that Auburn is the school he going to no matter what the circumstances. He is done taking visits to other schools, except for his official visit to Auburn. Pike will compete on Friday for his last opportunity to earn top honors at the Elite 11.

KU got on the scoreboard with just under four minutes to play in the half, as Heaps tossed an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jimmay Mundine. Ron Doherty tacked on a 31-yard field goal with just over a minute on the clock to send the Jayhawks into the locker room trailing, 21-10.

Rolls-Royce has signed a contract for the delivery of its Azipull propulsion and control system for the "ferry of the future," a new vessel which will operate on battery power alone.
The vessel is being built at the Fjellstrand yard in Norway, and once in service will be operated by Norwegian transport company Norled between Lavik and Oppedal.
In 2010, the Norwegian Ministry of Transport announced a tender to develop a new ferry that was 15-20% more energy efficient than existing vessels. The Rolls-Royce Azipull propulsion system, which utilizes pulling propellers as opposed to conventional azimuth thrusters, will help the battery powered, aluminum catamaran meet these standards.
The ferry will have a capacity of 120 cars and 360 passengers and will operate at a speed of about 10 knots, taking 20 minutes to cross between Lavik and Oppedal. The ferry will charge its lithium-ion batteries while loading or unloading cars and overnight when moored along the quay.

April 26
On this day. 1865: President Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was killed when Union soldiers found him hiding in a barn in Virginia. Booth murdered Lincoln 12 days before, as the president attended a play at Ford's Theatre in Washington. After shooting the president, Booth leaped to the stage from Lincoln's box seat. He landed hard, breaking his leg, before escaping to a waiting horse behind the theater. Booth, a famous actor, was quickly recognized by theatergoers, and the chase was on. With an accomplice, David Herold, Booth made his way out of the city and into southern Maryland. They pair stopped at the home of Dr. Samuel Mudd, who treated Booth's leg. Mudd was later sent to prison, but his life sentence was later commuted. Booth found refuge for several days at the home of a Confederate agent, before securing a boat to row across the Potomac into Virginia.
But Booth's luck finally ran out. The countryside was swarming with federal troops looking for him. They searched one home, belonging to Richard Garrett, found nothing and left. The History Channel reports: "The unsuspecting Garrett allowed his suspicious guests to sleep in his barn, but he instructed his son to lock the barn from the outside to prevent the strangers from stealing his horses. A tip led the Union soldiers back to the Garrett farm, where they discovered Booth and Herold in the barn. Herold came out, but Booth refused. The building was set on fire to flush Booth, but he was shot while still inside. He lived for three hours before gazing at his hands, muttering 'Useless, useless,' as he died."
On this day. 1984: President Ronald Reagan arrived in China for a summit meeting with Chinese President Li Xiannian. The trip marked the second time a U.S. president had traveled to China since President Richard Nixon's historic trip in 1972.
Quote of the day
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." -Ronald Reagan

NZ Warriors tandem escape Cronulla scandal
Relevant offers
Warriors players Chad Townsend and Jayson Bukuya appear to have escaped unscathed from the Sharks supplement scandal despite both playing at the club during the contentious 2011 season.
On Wednesday, 17 past and present Sharks players were offered a deal by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) to receive a 12-month sanction for doping, but will have their sentences back-dated to November 2013.
The players have until today to accept the deal, effectively a three-week ban, or it will be off the table and they could face the mandatory two-year punishment for use of prohibited substances.
Bukuya, who played for the Sharks from 2008 to 2013 was initially thought to be one of the 17 players facing a ban.
Bukuya played in the first 11 games for the Sharks in 2011 before missing the rest of the season with injury. He signed with the Warriors for the 2014 and 2015 seasons and has played in 15 games this season.
He is named on an extended interchange bench for Sunday's game against the Roosters.
On Wednesday, Warriors management said they had not heard from the NRL with regards to Bukuya and any possible action from ASADA and he had been at training in Auckland.
Townsend played for the Sharks from 2011 to 2013 but made his debut in round 13 of the 2011 season, presumably ruling him outside of the window for the supplement scandal.
Kiwi international and Knights player Jeremy Smith is understood to be one of the 17 players spoken to about a ban.
The New Zealand Rugby League said this week that it would not comment on Smith's situation until any action had been taken.

Starbucks Reported Strong Quarter Profits
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Industry Leaders Magazine | January 29, 2013 1:57 PM EST
Starbucks Corp. reported a 13 percent jump in profits in its first fiscal quarter which was driven by high-end sales in the US and China, where other cafes have suffered losses lately. The results matched the expectations of analysts who predicted similar high rise profits.
High Revenues Despite Economic Uncertainty
Starbucks Corp., the world's biggest coffeehouse chain, announced stronger-than-expected sales in its first fiscal quarter profit despite unsetting economic conditions. The company highlighted that it was their best-ever quarter in terms of revenue and sales. The company earned a net profit of around $432 million with earnings per share of 57 cents a share. The figure rose from 2012 where the EPS was 50 cents per share. The revenue also dramatically increased by about 11 percent from $3.44 billion to $3.8 billion since the final quarter of 2012. The company witnessed a 1.9 percent increase in after-hours trading on the 24th of January, soon after the announcement of their high achievement of the last quarter.
Despite various unexpected costs and the inability of other US coffeehouses to make profits, Starbucks was able to match the analyst's expectations. Due to the increase in the US payroll tax there was a major possibility of the consumers to curb their expenses and spend less on luxuries. However, Starbucks Corp. made considerable efforts in order to smoothly function in countries like Britain. Extensive advertising was conducted and revamped coffees were offered to attract Britain customers. The budget standoff would have been an obstacle for strong sales of Starbucks Corp.Perhaps, due to the winter holiday season, customers spent more than expected. Despite "a backdrop of weak consumer confidence and an overall weak global economy, Starbucks has been able to maintain its recently garnered momentum" said Howard Schultz, Chief Executive Officer of Starbucks Corp.
US and China Boost Sales
The United States has always been the most prominent market for Starbucks. Data shows that the Americas regions accounts for as much as 75 percent of the overall revenue of the company. In the final quarter of 2012, region saw an increase by about 7 percent in revenues. Similarly, the Asian countries like China witnessed an increase of 11 percent. However, Europe and Africa declined by 1 percent. Starbucks plans to widen its horizons by implementing an aggressive growth plan for 2013. The Seattle-based coffeehouse is expected to introduce additional 1,300 new stores to its already existing 20,366 stores with India and China on its forefront. The company expects the annual earnings of 2013 to rise by 15 to 20 percent and plans to invest more than $1 billion in capital expenditures as it plans to increase the number of stores and production capacity.
"The quality and diversity of growth drivers in the business, combined with our continued focus on operational excellence, gives us confidence in sustainable, strong profitable growth." said CFO of Starbucks, Troy Alstead.

Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward in 66th Cannes Film Fest poster
March 24, 2013 - 16:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, among Hollywood's most enduring and legendary screen couples, grace a new poster for the 66th Cannes Film Festival, TheWrap said.
The image is a captivating one -- a photograph of Newman and Woodward kissing passionately that was taken during the shooting of a largely forgettable 1963 romantic comedy, "A New Kind of Love."
Newman and Woodward collaborated on several films together of varying quality. Highlights include "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge," which earned Woodward an Oscar nomination, and "Rachel, Rachel," which was directed by Newman and also earned Woodward an Oscar nomination.
Their history together is tied with Cannes. They were married in 1958, the same year that their joint vehicle, "The Long Hot Summer," was shown in competition at the festival. Newman directed Woodward in two other films that were screened at Cannes, "The Effect of the Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" (Competition – 1973) and "The Glass Menagerie" (Competition – 1987).
Perhaps the couple's most astounding achievement: In an industry known for its flexible appreciation of marital vows, their marriage lasted for five decades.
When asked about infidelity, Newman joked, "Why go out for a hamburger when you have steak at home?"

Being caught as he was in the Overseers common room which is completely off limits to male creatures is bad enough and is a spankable offence all on its own but male creature mark is up to no good in the room as he attempts to steal the official punishment book from the new Instiute.
Miss Selina rarely disciplines a male herself as her position is now so senior in the Instiute that she can simply as other women lower in rank to spank teh boys for her but she does like to keep her hand in from time to time! And occasinoally Miss Selina feels offences are so serious that a spanking must be given out there and then! This is just one such case!
Watch as our premiere Goddess totally enslaves this rebellious male creature using nothing but her personal authority and intoxicating femininity!
