SAN JOSE (Reuters) - Costa Rica ruling party candidate Johnny Araya is abandoning his campaign to become president of the coffee-producing Central American nation a month before the election goes to a run-off vote, a source close to his camp said on Wednesday.
The source said Araya, of the centrist National Liberation Party, would no longer campaign, although under the constitution his name would remain on the ballot.
The move appeared to guarantee victory for left-leaning former diplomat Luis Guillermo Solis, who emerged as the surprise front-runner in February after polls had shown him in fourth place.
"What is going to happen is that he is not going to campaign anymore," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a planned announcement by Araya.
Araya, previously the favourite to win, has been beset by voter resentment over government corruption scandals under President Laura Chinchilla and rising inequality.
A former mayor of San Jose, Araya has faced criticism from equality-conscious voters for gaffes like underestimating the price of milk in an interview.
The national prosecutor's probe of allegations of abuse of authority and embezzlement have also dampened his appeal, after Chinchilla sparked outrage by accepting flights on a private jet despite laws barring public officials from accepting sizable gifts.
A University of Costa Rica survey published late on Tuesday showed Araya trailed centre-left rival Solis 20.9 percent to 64.4 percent ahead of the April 6 run-off.
The lead marks a dramatic upswing for Solis, who won 30.64 percent of the ballot last month ahead of Araya, who garnered 29.71 percent.
Neither of the candidates reached the minimum 40 percent plus one vote threshold needed to avoid a second round run-off.
Tuesday's poll surveyed 1,200 Costa Rican adults with a 2.83 percentage point margin of error.

Well here I go. Time to stop messing around and actually get foccussed on losing weight once and for all.
A bit of background. I am 46 years old with 2 children and a DH. I have been 'dieting' since I was about 20 and have at various points in my life been very slim (size 8) to my current (size 18). I feel unhealthy and lethargic most of the time, and despite 'following' the SW plan since March I really have lost nothing. when I say 'following' I know that this is not true and had I been sticking to plan I would have probably lost loads by now.
Anyway a fresh start and getting my head into the zone. I want to lose 5 stone which would bring me in at just under 10stone. Given my height and age this is a weight I would feel comfortable at.
My DH is very supportive and has actually being doing better than me by eating the same dinners as me, it's just all the other meals and snacks that I eat that are not making me do as well.
so huge line drawn and plan has been done for the rest of this week. I weigh in on a Friday morning so I would be grateful to lose at least 1lb this week by having 4 days on plan.
Menu for tomorrow is EE:
breakfast: banana, ryvita (HEb) with Philadelphia lightest (HeA) and tomato, DG coffee (2.5 syns)
lunch: SW quiche with ham, mushrooms and peppers, ML yoghurt and satsuma
dinner: sticky sesame beef (3 syns) with rice and stir fry veg
snack: snack a jacks (5 syns) and carrot sticks
syns: 10.5

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Park ravaged in 2011 flood reopens
St. Ambroise Beach Provincial Park, destroyed in the 2011 flood on Lake Manitoba, is finally open for business, but only for day use, the province said today.
"The damage from the 2011 flood was severe, but the day-use areas of the park are once again open to the public," Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh said in a release today. "I want to thank staff for their hard work in getting the park ready to go and I hope Manitobans will take the time this summer to visit the park and take advantage of the restored beach area."
The province said work done to reopen the Lake Manitoba park included demolition of all buildings destroyed by the flood, cleanup of all flood debris, restoration of the main park entry road and parking lot, shoreline and beach cleanup and the construction of washroom facilities.
The restoration cost about $300,000, Mackintosh said.
Future work to redevelop the park includes new campsites and a playground, a picnic shelter, a campground office and a new water supply system, as well as electrical and plumbing repairs.
"We are committed to rebuilding this park and ensuring people are able to enjoy it for years to come," Mackintosh said. "Planning is underway to ensure people are once again able to camp at St. Ambroise Beach by 2015."
Mackintosh also announced $2.4 million in upgrades for Duck Mountain Provincial Park near Swan River.
They include the construction of a new, modern washroom building and playground in the day use area at Blue Lake campground and a new waste-transfer station at Shilladay Lake.
Future plans for the park call for ATV trail upgrades to improve water crossings and trail routing on the Mossberry Lake Trail, refurbishment of the main dock used by cottagers at Wellman Lake, new campground offices at Blue Lake and Childs Lake, additional campsite electrification at the Blue Lake campground and construction of new waste transfer stations at Wellman and Whitefish lakes.

Heinrich Wolfflin was a pioneering critic who introduced new and rigorous methods of formal analysis into the study of art. Classic Art, first published in 1899, is itself a classic that has exercised a profound influence on the way people have looked at and thought about art. As an appraisal of the great artists of the Renaissance it can hardly be surpassed. Once again available in its elegant original format, it is an indispensable addition to any library.

James Brown is "Hip-Hop"
Quiller said 2 years ago:
Because James Brown is the basis of hip hop, house, disco, soul, funk, ska, reggae, and is at the core of just about every modern musical movement in popular culture since the 1950's. As FunkyJE put it below, "James Brown = Hip Hop", breakbeat sample culture.
Bosco said 2 years ago:
No, I am not. I was just curious on why almost All of James Brown's hits are sampled so much... and I was born in '96
Quiller said 2 years ago:
Are you calling James Brown an obscure artist? Where were you in the 20th century?
Bosco said 2 years ago:
Wow, what was up with this guy? A lot of obscure artist usually have a few individual songs sampled two or three times, then there's that one song with a laundry list of other songs it was sampled in. And almost all of this man's songs are like that, while Funky Drummer still takes the cake :P

DJ Anubis said 3 years ago:
Sounds like a revving engine? Intro of Get up offa That thing
Drpepperfan said 3 years ago:
I know this is the worst description ever, but I need a specific high-pitched squeal from a James Brown song, which gets higher as it goes and last about 2-3 seconds. Any guesses as to what it could be?
SmuttySy said 3 years ago:
"Soul Pride" has definitely got more legs in it than is represented here, it was pretty much the entire base for the jungle scene from 1994. Admittedly it was chopped in with Amen and Tramen breaks but it was pretty much ripped without pitch changes!

Like George Lucas, Director James Cameron has for a number of years experimented with converting his biggest hits to stereoscopic 3D, so it is interesting that the Phantom Menace and Titanic re-releases come just two months between each other. However, no single Hollywood figure embodies the 3D movement any more than James Cameron, who put the technology on the map so convincingly with Avatar in 2009. Any 3D conversion is going to have extremely high expectations to live up to - not just from the director, but from audiences too.
Twelve years on from its original theatrical release, I'm not sure there are many people who have not seen the film, or at least are unaware of the plot of Titanic, but I'll give it a quick rundown.
When naval scavenger Brock Lovett (Bill Paxton) leads an expedition to recover the fabled heart of the ocean diamond from the wreck of the RMS Titanic, but fails to obtain the multi-million dollar jewel, he instead gains a water-logged portrait of a beautiful woman, which thrusts him into a 84 year old, previously undisclosed love story which transgresses social class and an arranged marriage.
The film flashes back to April 1912, where RMS Titanic is leaving berth at Southampton on its maiden voyage, bound for the United States. On board are 2224 men, women and children from all walks of life - from wealthy socialites keen to be seen to have travelled on the most luxurious vessel yet constructed, to immigrants seeking a new life in the United States. Jack Dawson (Leonardo Di Caprio) is a poor artist living a nomadic existence who wins his ticket for Titanic in a lucky hand of poker. Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is a wealthy socialite bound to be wed to the wealthy magnate Cal Hockley (Billy Zane). Jack and Rose fall in love but, they are quickly thrust into a battle of survival when the ship strikes an iceberg in the freezing North Atlantic, taking on water rapidly, with significantly less life boats on board than necessary to save all on board.
It's hard to imagine, but the pre-release buzz on Titanic was rather poor. The budget-busting debacle of Waterworld was still fresh in the minds of studio executives and seeing the budget spiral out of control, Twentieth Century Fox partnered with Paramount Pictures to distribute the film to share in any potential profit, but more likely to share in the scenario of a loss. Of course, Fox kicked themselves when the film went on to bank $1.8 billion dollars worldwide, only surpassed by the equally surprising success of Avatar 12 years later. The film's success was sealed by the equal setting record of 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture at the 1998 awards ceremony.
While many cringe at the ridiculously over-exposed Celine Dion power ballad "My heart will go on" and some relatively weak dialogue, the truth is that the film holds up extremely well 15 years later. James Cameron is notorious for his over the top attention to detail, but this has allowed the film to age with grace. Even the once cutting edge visual effects which only very occasionally show their digital seams.
The biggest draw card of the theatrical re-release is of course the addition of stereoscopic 3D. James Cameron is a fierce advocate for shooting native 3D, but short of finding a time machine, this option was no longer available. Twentieth Century Fox stumped up the $18 million bill to convert the film (some three times the normal conversion costs) and the results are very convincing and will prove to be a very wise investment.
Obviously the film was not designed with 3D in mind. Very occasionally there will be an out of focus item in the frame that for the sake of consistency has been bought to the negative parallax (i.e. in front) where that would not have been framed in the shot in a native 3D production. Things like that ever so slightly take you out of the production, but they are rare and they are fleeting. Towards the end of the film, there are some great examples of 3D application - especially the plane of sea which juts out from the frame with impressive immersion.
My mind boggles when I think about the complex equations and mind-numbing maths necessary to convert over 3 hours of a rather complex film, especially when the artists have to answer to James Cameron. Overall, the 3D is a great success and genuinely adds to the film - which can't be said for all 3D productions. I thoroughly enjoyed going back to Titanic.
And yes, the end sequence still brings a tear to my eye, dammit!

Bradberry growing health tech company
Nicole Bradberry
Send this to a friend
- Marisa Carbone Finotti
Nicole Bradberry, entrepreneur, founder and chief information officer at Rise Health Inc., has big plans for her 2-year-old, venture capital-backed, health care services company.
"We hope to turn it into a billion-dollar company someday," she said.
Bradberry worked for health care giants such as United Healthcare Inc. and CIGNA Corp. in larger cities before returning home to help start Rise Health in Mandarin. The company now employs 100 people in Jacksonville.
Rise Health provides technology-enabled clinical support for primary care physicians. When a patient calls a medical center to schedule an appointment with his or her primary physician, a Rise employee in Jacksonville answers the call. The employee types the patient's name into its patient management platform, which is integrated with public content from MedLine Plus Connect, a service of the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The result of such research is the patient's entire medical history.
Bradberry directs the team that designed Rise's technology, which won an innovation award in June from the HHS. The company landed its first customer, Boston Medical Center, last December.
Rise Health President and Chief Operating Officer Gino Tenace said the company would never have gotten this far without Bradberry's focus and organization.
"I would need three different people in three different executive roles to do all the things she does," Tenace said.

Remembering Carl Sanders, who brought Georgia out of Dark Ages
It was a relatively young (37 year old) senator from Augusta with modern ideas who brought Georgia out from under the influences of the Talmadge machine, when he became governor in 1963. Carl Sanders brought modern politics to the state, moved the state to new heights and set the tone for forwardness and moderation that, indeed, made Georgia the capitol of the New South. He ran against a key Talmadge protégé, and former governor, Marvin Griffin, a staunch segregationist. We remember it well.

When Dollars Won't Quite Do
A couple of weeks ago I cited some comments by Big Oil shill Anastasia Swearingen to the effect that, basically, there's just no downside to drilling for oil. Whenever, wherever—it's all good. She was excoriating the federal government for its stubborn unwillingness (so far) to grant drilling leases along the Atlantic Coast to the oil giants standing in line. What's the hold-up, guys? I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Just look at the Gulf, says Swearingen, where pessimists predicted an "uninhabitable wasteland." But thanks to all the time and money BP has put into restoration, today the Gulf is faring "be Read on →

I'm not going anywhere.

But dang—sometimes you just have to yearn for bluer pastures. The election returns have been officially dissected, and it turns out that our two bright young Democratic standard-bearers, Michelle Nunn and Jason Carter, received "25 percent or less of the white vote." Twenty-five percent or less. This is the great triumph of the Republicans—and all the greater because it absolutely defies comprehension Read on →

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) today announced that its broad new 2014 line of Ultra HD TVs with LG's proprietary webOS Smart TV platform will support content streaming in Ultra HD 4K from Netflix, the world's leading Internet television network. In total, 12 new models comprise LG's 2014 Ultra HD lineup, which will be demonstrated for the first time this week at the 2014 International CES®.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110203/CG42292LOGO-d)
"LG and Netflix have had a long-standing history of first-to-market introductions including the first network Blu-ray player to offer Netflix streaming back in 2008, which created the new category of Internet-connected consumer electronics devices," said Dr. Skott Ahn, president and CTO, LG Electronics. "Netflix 4K content delivered on our amazing Ultra HD screens through our new webOS Smart TV platform will change the way consumers enjoy television."
Reed Hastings, president and CEO of Netflix, speaking at LG's CES press conference this morning, said: "As the world's leading Internet TV network, Netflix will be among the first to deliver Ultra HD 4K to consumers. Streaming will be the primary way consumers receive Ultra HD 4K and we are excited to be working with LG to make this a reality later this year."
TVs Ready for the Future
LG's 2014 Ultra HD TVs are designed to include the latest standards for connectivity, content protection and program encoding, meaning they equipped to handle 4K streaming*. Key to ensuring this capability is the built-in 4K HEVC 60p decoder. The LG TVs decode broadcast signals in both H.264 and HEVC H.265 formats, in either 30p or 60p.
"Content delivery has been the looming question with Ultra HD TVs ever since LG was the first to market with our 84-inch class TV in 2012," said Sam Chang, LG Electronics USA senior vice president and head of the LG Silicon Valley Lab. "While our Tru-Ultra HD Engine provides excellent upscaled quality, the overall goal was always native 4K content delivery and Netflix was the perfect partner."
Each TV also features LG's new webOS Smart TV platform**, which includes a refreshingly intuitive user experience meant to make Smart TV simple again – a modern TV experience. Users can move back and forth between services in a more intelligent manner enabling smoother, faster transitions between screens. Additionally, the webOS's Live Menu offers a variety of information, features and content including TV show recommendations, a search bar and previously viewed programs.
Visitors to LG's CES booth (Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall #8204) from Jan. 7 - 10 can experience webOS on LG's latest OLED TVs, 4K Ultra HD TVs and on other models from the company's new year Home Entertainment lineup.
*4K/UHD content delivery standards still being developed.
**Internet connection and certain subscriptions required and sold separately. Content and services vary by product and are subject to change without notice.

February 10, 2012: We've scoured the Web to find the best and most compelling animal stories, videos and photos. And it's all right here.
Inspired by the popularity of Animal Planet's Puppy Bowl, the folks at TBS' Conan decided to offer an alternative to the comedian's late night show: Puppy Conan. "I thought we should jump on the puppy bandwagon," said O'Brien.
The producers went to great lengths to create a mini version of O'Brien's set for the wig-wearing Puppy Conan and his sidekick, Puppy Andy, who welcome Puppy Justin Bieber to the show. (Really, shouldn't there be a puppy version of everything?) — Watch it at the LA Times
Offshore oil and wind power companies are studying whether surrounding the areas where they are working with bubbles could help dampen human sounds that can confuse whales. — Read it at National Geographic
Plus: A federal judge has dismissed a case brought by PETA against SeaWorld, which called the aquarium's whales enslaved. — Read it at AP via The New York Times
Maybe he's just tired of being gray. No one is sure why a squirrel caught in a humane animal trap by a couple in Jersey Shore, Pa., is purple. After a viewing by friends and neighbors, the couple released the squirrel back into the wild — but not before helping him to start his own Twitter account and a Facebook page. — Read it at the Huffington Post
According to USA Today, the average dog is walked about 26 minutes each day, with 37 percent getting 20 minutes a day or less, and 23 percent hitting the pavement more than 40 minutes. — See it at USA Today
A team of researchers found that narrow zebra stripes, like those found on the animal's face and legs, are the best fly repellant. The stripes effectively help camouflage zebras from flies, as well as much bigger predators. — Read it at National Geographic
A pair of sick puppies in Texas knew where to go to find help — they walked right through the doors of an emergency room at a human hospital and waited patiently to be seen. The staff got them what they needed: sausage, bacon and TLC, before taking them to the local Humane Society, where they'll be treated by a vet and put up for adoption in a few weeks. — Watch it at KIII TV via YouTube
