California Public Schools Now Required to Teach Gay History
Under a bill signed into law by California Governor Jerry Brown, California public schools will be required to teach the contributions of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans, starting January 1.
The bill requires textbooks in the social sciences curriculum to include information on the role of LGBT Americans, as well as Americans with disabilities.
This law is the first of its kind in the nation, and Brown says it's historic.
"History should be honest", Brown says. "This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books."
The provision on inclusion in textbooks could reach beyond California, as many book publishers tailor their texts to California's standards because of the state's large population.
Even though the bill requires textbooks to include gay history starting January 1, that's going to be difficult because California's budget crisis has delayed the purchasing new textbooks until at least 2015.

There's going to be a lot of blood and ink spilled across the internet on the subject of the opening weekend for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1.' Yes, the third film in the series did open significantly lower than its predecessors. Yes, there are definitely people at Lionsgate wringing their hands and trying to figure out why the film opened below expectations. And yet, that opening weekend is still massive.

Ashes 4th Test, Day 1: Warne grabs 700th Test wicket as England crumble again
Tuesday 26 December 2006
Shane Warne became the first player in history to claim 700 Test victims after yet another five-wicket haul as England collapsed to a lowly total in the fourth Ashes Test.
The legendary leg-spinner claimed five for 39, the 37th five-wicket haul of his stunning career, to help dismiss the tourists for 159 on a rain-hit opening day at the MCG, and by the close Australia had raced to 48 for two in reply.
Warne entered his final home town Test before his retirement needing just one more wicket to reach the milestone and the majority of the 89,155 Boxing Day crowd were there to witness the moment.
He achieved it with his 20th delivery after England had obliged the crowd by winning the toss and deciding to bat first and then collapsing by losing their last eight wickets for only 58 runs.
Australia's seamers dominated the early stages in ideal conditions, but once Warne was given his chance in the 47th over of the innings he wasted no time in striking.
Tempting opener Andrew Strauss into driving off the front foot in his fourth over of the spell, Warne delivered a sharply-turning leg-break which spun into the stumps.
Warne's breakthrough followed just two balls after Paul Collingwood had edged fast bowler Brett Lee to Ricky Ponting at second slip to end an encouraging 57-run partnership between the pair.
It was England's last stand of any note with Warne claiming only his third five-wicket haul in Melbourne after seamer Stuart Clark claimed the key wicket of England captain Andrew Flintoff shortly after tea, edging to the leg-spinner at first slip.
Warne claimed his second victim when Chris Read, recalled after England decided to drop under-fire wicketkeeper Geraint Jones, drove straight to short extra cover seven overs later.
Veteran seamer Glenn McGrath claimed an overdue success with Sajid Mahmood edging behind and Warne took his tally to 702 when Steve Harmison drove him straight to mid-on.
The key wicket was that of Hampshire team-mate Kevin Pietersen, who battled for over 100 minutes at the crease for his 21 before holing out to Andrew Symonds at long on.
Symonds was also the catcher, this time at mid-on, to finish off the innings with Monty Panesar driving straight to him to give Warne a fairytale start to his final MCG Test.
Facing 11 overs before the close, Australia took an aggressive response and enjoyed a 44-run opening stand in only 10 overs after Matthew Hayden twice survived strong lbw appeals from seamer Matthew Hoggard.
But Flintoff, perhaps enraged by umpire Rudi Koertzen's decision to reject the appeals, struck twice in successive balls to have Justin Langer and nightwatchman Lee caught behind.
Flintoff's hat-trick ball drifted down the leg side but at least England had regained some hope from an opening day once again dominated by Australia and the irrepressible Warne.

Recipes with bacon are always crowd-pleasers, and this Danish Potato, Tomato, and Bacon Omelette leaves little to be desired. Feel free to experiment with this bacon omelette recipe. Add asparagus and cheese for a savory brunch version.
Makes: 3 servings
- 1/2 pound sliced Danish bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 medium potato, shredded
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 small ripe tomato, seeded and finely chopped
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon chives, minced
- black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large skillet, fry the bacon over moderate heat until almost crisp and drain on paper towels.

CBS orders pilots with Amy Smart and Fred Savage
Darlene Conley dead at 72
Bold and the Beautiful star Darlene Conley died of stomach cancer on Sunday in Los Angeles.
She has starred on the show as Sally Spectra for 20 years, and was diagnosed with cancer only three months ago. Producers and writers were actually developing a storyline for her to deal with the diagnosis.
Besides The Bold and the Beautiful and three other soaps (Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, and General Hospital), Conley guest-starred on several other TV shows, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Murder, She Wrote, Highway To Heaven, The Jeffersons, Little House on the Prairie, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Gunsmoke, Cagney and Lacey, and Ironside. She also did the voice of Mrs. Claus in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.
Confab with Satan
Sometimes while going about our day to day lives, we forget to stop and give thanks to that all-powerful being who has brought so much to our pathetic existence. Since this day (6/6/06) shall never come again, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to sit down for a little chat with Satan, ruler of the underworld, prince of Hades, and former sales manager at Tru Value Hardware, to find out how he feels about television these days. Enjoy:
Adam: Did you really work at Tru Value?
Satan: No, that was just a resume builder.
Adam: Oh.
Satan: Well, employers want customer service experience these days. It's tough. Getting kicked out of Heaven and torturing the damned doesn't automatically get you a job. It's not 1989 anymore, you know.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The body of a 24-year-old English teacher from Virginia has been discovered in the wreckage of the Japan tsunami.
Taylor Anderson could be the first known American victim in the Japan disaster as authorities continue the daunting task of finding and identifying almost 13,000 people believed to be missing.
Anderson's family said in a statement that the U.S. Embassy in Japan called them Monday to tell them she was found in Ishinomaki, a city about 240 miles (390 kilometers) north of Tokyo.
Officials with U.S. Embassy in Japan and the State Department could not immediately confirm whether she is the first known U.S. victim in Japan.
Her parents, Andy and Jean Anderson, said in a statement: "Please continue to pray for all who remain missing and for the people of Japan."

Troy Tulowitzki returns to Rockies' lineup after missing one game with a sprained right toe
Jun 15, 2014, 2:58 PM EST
Troy Tulowitzki sent a scare through the Rockies organization when he left Friday's series opener against the Giants with a sprained right toe. But he underwent X-rays Saturday which turned up negative and is back in Colorado's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale — hitting third and playing shortstop.
Tulowitzki owns an outstanding .355/.447/.659 slash line with 14 home runs and 43 RBI through 66 games this season. If he stays healthy all year, he'll likely be a strong candidate for National League MVP.
Tulo entered play Sunday with a commanding lead in fWAR.
Mike Trout is second on that leaderboard and Giancarlo Stanton is third.

Enterprise software is under attack. Traditional infrastructure players like BEA are seeing their core products replaced with free open source projects, while traditional application vendors like Oracle/Siebel are being displaced by SaaS. But is this a slugfest with only one winner? Will SaaS and open source ultimately turn against each other for dominance of the software business model - WWF Smack Down style - where the once united tag team, after conquering their opponent, starts to fight between themselves? Actually I think not. Just as I don't see traditional enterprise software disappearing completely, I believe both SaaS and open source are naturally suited to different parts of the market and in fact will coexist quite naturally.
One of the more intriguing aspects about open source is the huge variation in capabilities. As an example, consider the Apache web server. With dominant market share, the consensus engineering opinion seems to be it's the best web server on the market, regardless of cost. At the opposite extreme you have something like OpenOffice, a replacement for MS Office. Despite the huge latent demand for a free office suite, OpenOffice still has not hit its stride, even after many years. While OpenOffice does have some ardent fans, I believe that most business users would agree that OpenOffice cannot be used as a replacement for MS Office in its current state.
Open source infrastructure software is, generally speaking, a viable substitute to its commercial counterparts. The infrastructure category includes Web servers like Apache, application servers like JBOSS/Tomcat, and databases like PostgreSQL. There are plenty of distinctions to be made within that category. For example, some might argue that Apache is better than MS IIS, JBOSS is about the same as BEA WebLogic or IBM WebSphere, and perhaps PostgreSQL is not quite as good as Oracle or IBM DB2. But despite those subtle differences all would be considered roughly equivalent to their commercial counterparts.
Contrast this with open source application software. There are many open source content management systems (e.g., Alfresco), CRM systems (e.g., SugarCRM), ERP systems (Compiere), and many others. None of these has matched the same level of success as their commercial counterparts. OpenOffice is a good example. Office functionality is arguably the most important single business application, and superficially, at least, OpenOffice appears to tick all the boxes. However, there are some issues that are sufficient to prevent broader adoption. First, given that 99% of all office docs in existence today are MS format, being able to handle these is a sine qua non. Unfortunately, importing a formatted document or presentation into OpenOffice usually requires a round of repositioning and font resizing to make it look right. The amount of time that takes quickly nullifies any MS Office license fee saving (and for many, that's a sunk cost anyway). Second, with no proper anti-aliasing on drawn objects, presentations in particular look poor with jagged edges in comparison to MS Office. For the same reason it makes sense for sales departments to spend more on a brighter projector to use with their customers; no one is going to present a chart with jagged edges, when with MS office they can have smooth lines.

Interesting article from a oracle ERP developers point of view I note that you could decide to write a saas application with open source technology eg Linux operating system, Postgresql database and a scripting langauge rendering html pages. The weak point is still the same and that is creating a business application that is developed to a point that can be resold on economies of scale, enough for the reseller to make money through licences, training or consulting. I think the interesting thing about what oracle is up to with fusion is that they are trying to tie togeather disparate applications with soa principles, which is almost like saying we cant build the perfect application so we will give you the tools to build your own. I think with the saas model this is not possible and that while they are reducing the cost of physically owning an application, they are unable to follow the roll your own approach of soa so will have to be content with supplying the segment of the market that wants an off the shelf product. In addition I think it is interesting to note that it is possible to follow the soa approach using open source technologies.

I think there is an additional category to consider: appliance based computing. KangarooBox, and others, are taking the best of Open Source and SaaS and combining them into something even better. The great SaaS weakness is availability, and that is solved with an appliance on your local network.

Enthusiasm for the Internet of Things has reached an all-time high. In 2013 alone, venture capitalists spent more than $1 billion dollars investing in the IoT space. With "smart" appliances and devices, IoT covers wearable smart devices, cloud services to hardware companies. Nest, a Google company, detects temperatures inside homes and automatically adjusts it by tracking its user's habit. These technologies are quickly developing and with it come challenges such as bridging infrastructure gaps, abiding by privacy concerns and making the concept a reality.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

A Homeless Man
Those cold hands sheltered in his lap...
A simple life chosen to live, perhaps?
Could no bed be offered though?
Not even a chair?
In that desolate, gray street of the city
frozen like ice, but still calmly sitting
a cigarette is lit
and- smoking, fretting, spitting -
he makes his retreat from human affairs
And so, another lonely story
without any care
shoots a puffy white cloud
of smoke in the air
and I can't help but stare...
at all of his dreams
briefly lingering there
as he disappears
leaving the cold, winter road seem
so quiet
and bare.
And the sun in the sky is
In my eyes as it rises
I look at this guy
As he tries not to cry his
Heart out...
Sometimes we drive by
even though he needs help
The indifference within
is a sin in itself
Only focused on the ladders
we climb and we climb
And Heaven forbid
if you're not to work on time
Maybe he's hungry; he very well could be sad
Maybe bad luck's all the luck that he's had
Perhaps he was rich and traded stocks for big cash
'till the whole market crashed
- fortune gone in a flash
Maybe he thought,
'In America, land of Prosperity,
With so many Christian hearts filled with Sincerity
Surely someone will lead me back to the fun
I'll repay them their kindness - no harm will be done…'
'…But in the Home of the Brave and the greatest of lands
Not one single man will lend me a hand...
When an insult and pocket change is all that I find
In my sweet home America - I must've lost my mind! '
I see the sun in your eyes,
in the sky as it rises
Remember my friend,
life is full of surprises
And one day…
You may find yourself standing next to him
Beggin' for bucks; beggin' for change;
Down on your luck; down in the drain;
Lookin' aroun' with a frown on your face
Cuz you ran outta gas
and now your ass is sittin' out of the race
Could you ever let go of the stuff you don't need?
Or, is it deep in your bones and the blood that you bleed?
did you read the fine print in your contract on the day
you signed your soul and life away?
if you ever see a lonely story
Without any care
cold wind in his hair
Mmaybe his thumb in the air...
Stare if you dare
but, consider it fair - -
Fairly likely that one day
It could be little
old you
standing there.

"I love the ability to create my own Christmas card. There are so many wonderful templates but this on was my favorite and aligned beautifully with my image."
"I used a black and white photo, gold foil and a red background behind the Merry Christmas, with a pearl paper. The result is striking! I'm very happy with the result. I am looking forward to sending out my cards this year!"
"We went the cheaper route and just went with square corners (no extra cost) and they look great. On the back I chose the text only option and wrote our quick Christmas letter. This is the 3rd year I've ordered our Christmas cards from tinyprints and am happy every time. The cards are done, addressed, stamped, and ready to be put in the mail on Thanksgiving day!!! Check!!!"
"This card is lovely and we enjoyed that you could change it from Christmas to Holidays to be more inclusive. We chose the light brown colour but the green looks great too. Loved the addition of stars on the image area-it made it look more unified. I would recommend using a black marker for the back since it does have a print. I tried using metallics (i.e., bronze and silver) but it faded into the background too much."
"The ability to change the foil color on this beautiful design adds so much to the photo selected and results in a special holiday card."

A group of concerned residents gathered at North Toronto's Postal Station K on Friday, Nov. 9 after hearing that the historic building had been sold.
Local residents and politicians have been irate since they first heard the station was put up for sale this summer. With news coming the site had been sold, Eglinton-Lawrence MPP Mike Colle, St. Paul's councillor Josh Matlow and a group of residents dropped by the station to once again express their displeasure.
"It was just sold like a piece of meat," Colle said. "The community is extremely appalled and upset that a community of 10,000 people was not listened to."
Residents gathered thousands of signatures calling for more public consultation prior to selling the site, something Colle has argued from the beginning was mandatory when Crown land was being sold off.
Following the sale, concerned locals were furious it does not appear there were any conditions of sale for the building. Residents had hoped the building would be protected given it stands on the site of the former Montgomery's Tavern, a key site in the Upper Canada Rebellion.
The building, which was built in 1936 is also one of two in Toronto to bear the insignia of short-lived monarch King Edward VIII.
"We at least thought they would listen to us enough to request conditions of the developer to save the building," Colle said. "The federal government wouldn't even force them to put that obligation (in the deal.)"
Efforts are now underway to have the site designated as a heritage building. That was not possible when the postal station was in the hands of a Crown corporation.
Matlow is confident the city will be able to fast-track the heritage application but is less certain a heritage designation would provide the protection required to maintain the site.
"The City of Toronto has powers to protect the heritage site, but the designation doesn't have teeth," he said. "It needs to be strengthened."
The councillor added stronger protections could have been put in place prior to the sale.
"I ultimately have little faith that even a heritage designation will do as much to protect (the postal station) as the federal government could have," he said.
Eglinton Park Residents Association chair Tom Cohen had also hoped conditions could have been placed on the building's sale, but noted the community will continue to do everything it can to oppose any development that would threaten the post office.
"It's really a game of chess here," he said. "(The developer) can clearly use the spectre of the OMB but the OMB is a two-way spectre, and you'll see the neighbourhood, the city and the province against a plan that doesn't protect the building."
Resident George Butterwick said the post office and the green space in front of the building was "like a second home" to him in an area where green space is already at a minimum.
He hopes something can be done to preserve the building.
"I'd hate like hell to see it go," he said. "It's a landmark."

The sign
Location: N/A
By: Wren
One day I watched an old Fulton Sheen show in which he told about making a pilgrimage for Mary. To show his faith in her he brought no money to pay for his hotel and relied on her to help him in this area. Towards the end of his trip when he was starting to get nervous about the bill he met a group of tourists who paid for his hotel and some in exchange for his translating for them.
This story delighted me. Is it really so easy to ask and be given? I stepped into my lanai and with a happy, playful voice said, "Ok, God. Show me a sign."
It was a cloudy day and I didn't expect anything because the sky was completely cloud covered. Then, within about five seconds of my request a large white cloud formed. But it was not the comforting vision most people would expect. It was in the form of the devil, and the detail was amazing! I was terrified!
I called out to my husband, but he took his time and it was gone before he got there. Seeing the seriousness in my face, he believed me and asked what it looked like. I told him it had the horns and beard but strangely enough, the face looked like his mother's.
This marked the beginning of a very difficult time in my life. A few months later I was let go from my job and my mother in law, who I considered the most evil person I knew, started developing dementia. Within two years she was in a wheelchair and on a Holy Thursday we brought her to live with us. We've been taking care of her in our home since.
Now I no longer ask for signs. The only other sign I've been given is that the purple passion flower in my yard has been producing red flowers. I take it that she is our passion and our care of her will bring us, and maybe her, closer to God.
Some may never see with earthly eyes these heavenly beings or know that they exist. Many are unaware of the numerous ways they have protected and guided us. We would like to share with you the stories of people who take pleasure in expressing how real angels are.

El Violin (NC)
Friday 04 January 2008
Francisco Vargas's first feature, shown at Cannes two years ago, is a haunting beauty, a story of guerrilla resistance in Mexico that slowly gathers the force of myth. A remote village is seized by the military, who torture certain campesinos in order to discover the whereabouts of an ammunition cache. A humble musician, Genaro (Gerardo Taracena), tries to reach his kidnapped wife and child, while his aged father Don Plutarco (Angel Tavira), entertaining the army captain (Dagoberto Gama) with his violin-playing, is secretly plotting to recover the weapons for the resistance.
Shot in high-contrast monochrome, the film gradually unveils itself as a parable of exploitation: Don Plutarco, having gently explained the human capacity for evil to his young grandson, is later seen signing his livelihood away for the pitiful price of a mule. Tavira is astonishing in the role of the old man, his face an evocative record of the hardship and courage of a people's struggle. A terrific debut by Vargas, who wrote, directed and produced.

Fundraiser to 'Sweeten' the Lives of Individuals with Special Needs in Upstate New York
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Jan. 11, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This January, Friendly's Ice Cream launches its 32nd annual Cones for Kids campaign to benefit Easter Seals New York and those living with disabilities or special needs. Since 1981, Friendly's employees and customers have joined together to raise funds for children and adults living with autism and other special needs. Over the past decade alone, Upstate New York Friendly's guests have generously donated more than $1.5 million to Easter Seals New York.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110401/MM76153LOGO )
The Cones for Kids campaign will run from January 14th until February 24th at Kessler Family Friendly's Restaurants in Upstate New York. Each restaurant guest who makes a $5 donation to Easter Seals New York will receive a coupon book redeemable for two free kid's meals or Happy Ending® Sundaes, a $5 off $25 purchase coupon and a $3 off $15 coupon, a $20 value.
David VanBlarcom, Vice President of Restaurant Operations for Kessler Family LLC, said, "We look forward each year to partner with Easter Seals New York for our Cones for Kids campaign. It is a wonderful opportunity to bring our employees and guests together to help serve those in our community with disabilities and special needs."
All proceeds from the Cones for Kids initiative go towards supporting programs in Western New York. Thanks in large part to the proceeds raised by The Kessler Family Friendly's restaurants, The Kessler Center opened its doors on July 11, 2011 in Rochester. The Kessler Center offers highly individualized special education, fully-supported residential living, clinical care, and emergency respite services for children and young adults with disabilities or special needs in Upstate New York.
"The Kessler Family and Friendly's have transformed the lives of thousands of individuals with disabilities through their Cones for Kids initiative and made it possible for children whose needs had previously gone unmet to receive the care they need in their home state at The Kessler Center," noted John W. McGrath, Executive Director of Easter Seals New York. "Their generosity is truly extraordinary and Easter Seals New York is incredibly grateful to have friends and supporters like The Kessler Family and Friendly's Restaurants."

Some developers believe that monitoring is a function of the operations team. Some operations teams firmly believe that monitoring the systems they maintain is sufficient to run the business successfully. Most of them are wrong. The complexity of today's applications have gone far and beyond the capabilities of "traditional" system-level monitoring tools and approaches and requires much broader knowledge of business and applications as a whole.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...
