Lady Gaga launched her debut perfume while being inside a giant-sized perfume bottle.
The avant-garde pop star was in a large bottle — a replica of her 'Fame' fragrance — appearing in the transparent glass where attendees took photos and watched the singer get a tattoo on her neck.
The entertainer entered the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on New York's Upper East Side on Thursday night on top of a convertible. She posed for pictures and interacted with some fans.
Inside, she laid in the bottle in a sparkly top, black skirt and red wig. Then she took off some clothing and a wig — now appearing in lingerie, including a thong — and began receiving a tattoo of the back of her neck (she shaved the bottom half of the back of her head this week).
Gaga applied make-up and played on an iPad inside the bottle, where she was joined by four others. Edith Piaf played in the background, as did David Bowie's 'Fame' and various songs that featured Kanye West. She got her tattoo — and danced in her seat — as West's latest hit 'Mercy' blasted in the background.
The masquerade black tie event featured a few hundred people, mostly dressed with eye masks and headgear. Celebrity attendees included Yoko Ono, Marc Jacobs, Paris Hilton, Michael Strahan, Jason Wu and Lindsay Lohan, who arrived late for the event.
Gaga also debuted a short film called 'Lady Gaga Film' for the fragrance in collaboration with director Steven Klein.
The Grammy-winning singer released her multiplatinum debut, 'The Fame,' in 2008. That was followed by the platinum-selling albums 'The Fame Monster' and last year's 'Born This Way.'

Low Calorie Diet Key to Improved Brain Function, Study Finds
There's a new way to remain youthful — eat less. Researchers at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Italy identified a molecule that preserves brain function, which is triggered by a low calorie diet.
The Rome-based institution discovered CREB1, a molecule in the brain of mice, which stimulates genes connected to longevity and proper brain function. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an American journal, featured their findings this week.
"Our hope is to find a way to activate CREB1, for example through new drugs, so to keep the brain young without the need of a strict diet," lead study author and researcher at the Institute of General Pathology, Faculty of Medicine at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart Dr. Giovambattista Pani said.
A low-calorie diet translated into restricting mice to consume up to 70 percent of their usual intake. Following the diet kept the mice from becoming obese or developing diabetes, according to researchers.
Mice on the low calorie diet also had better cognitive abilities, were less aggressive and were at less risk for severe Alzheimer's disease symptoms than those higher-calorie diets.
Previous studies suggested obesity causes brain aging and made it more susceptible to both Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. Until now, the other positive effects of a low-calorie diet were unknown.
"Our findings identify for the first time an important mediator of the effects of diet on the brain," Dr. Pani said. "This discovery has important implications to develop future therapies to keep our brain young and prevent brain degeneration and the aging process. In addition, our study shed light on the correlation among metabolic diseases as diabetes and obesity and the decline in cognitive activities."

Features : The post-Ponting puzzle
Features : Older Hughes hopes he's wiser too
Players/Officials: Phillip Hughes
Series/Tournaments: Sri Lanka tour of Australia
Phillip Hughes has been granted the Test match equivalent of a soft landing, chosen to fill the gulf left by the retired Ricky Ponting in Australia's top order against Sri Lanka after the selectors preferred to spare him the rigours of the recently completed series against South Africa.
When Shane Watson's calf troubles opened up a batting vacancy ahead of the South Africa Tests, the panel headed by the national selector John Inverarity had chosen Rob Quiney as a mature and ready-made option for No. 3.
However Quiney's elevation was brief, and the more modest opposition expected from Sri Lanka has been deemed more suitable as the best circumstance in which to recall Hughes, a little more than a year after he was dropped, coincidentally after last year's Hobart Test against New Zealand.
Australia Test squad
Speaking with typical candour as he named the Australian squad for the Hobart Test, the national selector John Inverarity said Hughes had always been seen as a long-term part of the national team's planning, and that there had been a desire not to expose him to South Africa' bowlers at the top level while he continued to build confidence with South Australia.
"We felt that for the South African series that Quiney was the right man," Inverarity said. "We look to Phil Hughes to be one of our players of the future, a real long-term player, so when we were considering the South African series we were very keen for Phil Hughes to come in when his form was absolutely right, and the right circumstances for him.
"We did feel that throwing him into the Tests against the world No. 1 with their attack was probably not the ideal set of circumstances for him, and we feel the time now is absolutely right for him. We needed to be convinced that his game was absolutely cherry ripe. It was just recently at the MCG that he got a big hundred [158 for SA v Victoria] and I think that was further proof that he's in absolutely the right place.
"Rob Quiney is a wonderful man, I think he was very grateful for the opportunity, and who knows what's round the corner. He's not one to hold grudges or think he's hard done by, I think he was very grateful for the opportunity and looks forward to the time when he might get an opportunity again."
Since he was caught Guptill, bowled Martin in four consecutive innings against New Zealand, Hughes has spent countless hours refining his technique and clarifying his mental approach. Inverarity had said earlier this year that the selectors were looking for evidence of development from both Hughes and Usman Khawaja, another contender for the space vacated by Ponting, and the panel has concluded that at 24 Hughes has made the most rapid strides.
"If you watched him closely 12 months ago and now, his scoring range is very different," Inverarity said. "He's scoring through the leg side off his pads much better, driving on the on-side, and pulling short balls, which wasn't the case 12 months ago. So I think he's developed his game, and it is much harder for bowlers now in a sense to corner him.
"Last year when he was dropped from the Test team he decided not to play BBL and to work on his technique an get himself into a better space. We didn't select him for the Australia A team because he had a long-term opportunity with Worcestershire, where he did very well. I think being there and out of the spotlight and working in a very consistent environment, has done him a great deal of good.
"Then moving to Adelaide and a fresh environment there, I think as a young man he's in a very good place and his game's in good order, and the circumstances are absolutely right for him to be selected."
Apart from Hughes' recall, the balance of Australia's bowling attack for Hobart is another point of conjecture. Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus have been deemed fit enough to return, though Inverarity said the selectors needed to see further evidence that the latter's bowling methods were returning to those he showed against India last summer.
"The history with Ben, he was doing well then the last series against England in Australia [in 2010-11] he didn't bowl to his highest level," Inverarity said. "He got things sorted out, a few niggles were sorted out and he got his bowling action right, and his bowling last summer was superb. He bowled at good pace and very well.
"His bowling in the first Test was a bit like against England, it wasn't as good as he'd hoped. So he needs to get 100% fit to perform, and his action so that he bowls like he did against India last summer, and we're hopefully that during this little break he'll be back to that sort of form."
Irrespective of who plays against Sri Lanka, all will have a challenge ahead to make up the gap left by Ponting in terms of leadership, experience and training example. "The dressing-room will be different without the presence of Ricky Ponting," Inverarity said. "His absence creates both the opportunity and the necessity for others to grow and fill the gap."
Ponting's contribution to the game will be marked by a lap of honour at Bellerive Oval during the lunch break on day one of the Test.

Risks Too High for Google Glass Behind the Wheel
As distracted driving accidents reach epidemic proportions, the wearable technology known as Google Glass is raising concerns among traffic safety experts.
The device boasts an incredible number of features in a tiny computer within a space-age glasses frame. Users can text, make calls and access the Internet by using their voice or even nodding their head while leaving their hands free. The device may be useful while you are on the job or at play — but it poses a dangerous distraction if you are behind the wheel.
A study by the University of Central Florida and the Air Force Research Laboratory recently focused on the use of Google Glass to text while driving. Unsurprisingly, the study found that texting with Google Glass was a distraction for drivers.
The findings did include a small twist, however. As UCF's Colleges and Campus News reported, test drivers texting on Google Glass were able to regain control over their vehicles after a near-accident faster than those texting on smartphones.
The test involved 40 young drivers who drove in a car simulator with Google Glass or a smartphone. In the simulation, the drivers were forced to react to a car slamming on brakes in front of them. The Google Glass users did not hit their brakes any faster than the smartphone users, but they did return to normal driving quicker.
In the end, the researchers concluded that Google Glass is no safer for texting behind the wheel than smartphones.
Because digitally obsessed drivers are already causing serious accidents while they text, talk or email, Google Glass is proving quite unpopular with law enforcement. And some states are taking steps to specifically prohibit drivers from using the device.
California law prohibits drivers from having a TV screen, video monitor or similar devices visible while they are operating a vehicle. In one well-publicized case, a driver who was ticketed for wearing Google Glass was able to avoid a conviction because there was no evidence the device was actually turned on while she was driving.
But that case doesn't mean that a Glass-wearing driver may never be held accountable for causing an accident. Forensic data potentially could prove that a driver's Glass was on at the time of a collision.
Google Glass and similar technology may eventually have a major impact in the world. It already is proving useful in education and health care, for example. But the technology, at this point at least, does not belong behind the wheel.read more
Driverless Motor Vehicles Pose Safety, Liability Risks
Driverless motor vehicles are one of the latest technological advancements the automotive industry hopes to bring to market. While completely autonomous vehicles are not yet available, consumers can purchase or lease vehicles that provide some of these automated features. Parking assistance and crash avoidance (also known as automatic braking) are examples of technologies bringing us closer to driverless motor vehicles and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication.
Despite these technological marvels, questions remain whether a truly autonomous vehicle is safe? What are the safety and liability risks of driverless motor vehicles?
Can autonomous vehicles get hijacked by hackers?
One of the primary risks of an autonomous vehicle is the potential for hijacking by hackers. Because these vehicles operate with the use of computer technology, a very real risk exists of the system being hacked. Computer systems in a self-driving vehicle have security protocols to help protect the information and technology. However, if a hacker is able to bypass the system's encryption features and gain access to the main system, he or she could potentially gain control of the vehicle itself.
Vehicle security is a primary concern for automakers and consumers. A recent Bloomberg article highlights some of the most serious dangers posed by this type of hacking. A hijacked automated vehicle could be used in a kidnapping, or be accessed as an escape vehicle in the commission of a crime. A hijacked vehicle also could be used as a weapon, as a means of distraction, as a way to intentionally gridlock a city, or as a means to cause serious injury or death.
Liability in Accidents Involving Driverless Vehicles
Another unresolved issue: If a driverless vehicle is involved in a car accident, or is hijacked by a hacker, who is legally liable for any resulting personal injuries or property damages? Can a driver be liable if he or she fails to take control of a partially autonomous vehicle to avoid an accident? If a car owner neglects to install a key security update that would potentially prevent hackers from hijacking a driverless vehicle, could the owner be held partially liable for any injuries caused? An auto manufacturer may be held accountable where a manufacturing defect causes a vehicle to fail to operate as intended.
Fox Business reports that federal regulators believe that the mandatory installation of V2V communications in vehicles could potentially reduce car accidents by about 80 percent (not including accidents involving a drunk driver or mechanical failure).
While reducing the number of car accidents is an important safety issue, regulators and auto manufacturers still need to address numerous unanswered questions and concerns before driverless vehicles become commonplace on our roads.read more
Some Voice Control Systems More Dangerous Than Others
While the majority of U.S. drivers believe hands-free technology is safe when operating a vehicle, the American Automobile Association (AAA) released a report earlier this month that should give a lot of people a reason to reconsider that notion.
Titled "Mental Workload of Common Voice-Based Vehicle Interactions across Six Different Vehicle Systems," the report evaluated several voice control technologies to see which ones were the best at reducing distraction behind the wheel. Although some ranked better than others in the study, none of them was perfect when it came to helping drivers stay focused on the road, according to AAA.
'Sirious' Problems with Hands-Free Technology
A team of researchers put 18 men and 18 women behind the wheel of six cars that were equipped with voice-activated control technology. The subjects performed several tasks while navigating a driving course.
Cameras were trained on the drivers, and their heart rate and brain activity were measured. In addition, a researcher was in the passenger's seat to evaluate the drivers' reactions. Afterward, each driver was asked to fill out a questionnaire.
The six systems tested were Entune from Toyota, MyLink from Chevrolet, Hyundai's Blue Link, Chrysler's Uconnect, Ford's SYNC with MyFord Touch and COMAND from Mercedes-Benz.
Test subjects were also placed in a driving simulator and asked to send text messages, post Facebook updates and modify their calendars using a phone equipped with Apple's Siri voice-command technology.
The systems were graded on a five-point scale to gauge the mental strain of using them to perform different tasks. The lower the score, the smaller the distraction. For example, listening to the radio while driving would register a 1 in difficulty, while trying to solve a complex math problem while behind the wheel would score a 5.
Here's how the researchers graded the systems in terms of how much of a distraction they caused while driving:
- Entune (Toyota) – 1.7
- Blue Link (Hyundai) – 2.2
- Uconnect (Chrysler) – 2.7
- Ford SYNC with MyFord Touch – 3.0
- COMAND (Mercedes-Benz) – 3.1
- MyLink (Chevrolet) – 3.7
The most surprising result, however, may be that the subjects averaged a mental strain level of 4 when using the Siri electronic assistant. This level of distraction is more dangerous than speaking on a handheld cell phone while driving. In fact, three subjects "crashed" while in the simulator, and two of those incidents took place while using Siri.
The Bottom Line on Voice Control
The upshot of the study is that while the auto industry has largely embraced voice-activated technology over the last few years and trumpeted it in an untold number of ads, it seems that a lot of work still needs to be done in order to make the systems as safe as possible.
A press release issued by AAA announcing the release of the study quoted the organization's president and CEO as saying voice control technology may have unintended adverse effects on driver safety. AAA is calling on developers to address factors that contribute to these distractions, and to make them no more taxing for drivers than listening to the radio.read more
Career Options for Legal Bloggers and Writers
Becoming a Legal Writer
Most people who are interested in pursuing a career in the legal field believe they must possess the ability to express themselves effectively, in both oral and written form. After all, lawyers represent clients in court, as well as during contract and mediation negotiations. But, what about those who are interested in the law as a career choice, but with an exclusive focus on the written word? Or, what of those who simply may not have a desire to speak in front of others? There are many career opportunities available in the legal field where one can still make a difference. One of the most creative and versatile alternative career choices is that of a legal writer.
Career Opportunities
One of the biggest perks of a career in legal writing is in the options available to you. A career as a legal writer can take on many forms, including the standard position of a feature writer. There are other choices available as well. Some are choices you may be aware of, but there are others that you may not have previously considered as viable options for a legal writer. These include:
Corporate writer
Legal newsletter or brochure writer
Legal editor
Blog and web content writer
Legal analyst
Academic writer
Education and Skill Requirements
For anyone interested in pursuing a career as a legal writer, it is strongly recommended that a degree in communications, writing, journalism, or other liberal arts field be earned first. A degree in law may gain you an advantage, but it is not a requirement.
If you don't plan on pursuing a degree in law, but are interested in becoming a legal writer, it's important that you take legal courses while in school. This is because you must have a sound understanding of the legal industry and law, as well as the terminology used in order to be successful in the field.
Aside from education, there are also specific traits you must possess in order to become an effective legal writer. For example, because you will be required to interpret and translate technical legalese in a way that is understandable, your writing style must be clear and concise without altering the meaning of the law. Just as with any writing career, you must also be organized, focused, perceptive, disciplined, and be comfortable writing online (since most work writing is done via the internet).
To be a good legal writer, you must also have exceptional research skills. In addition, you must be resourceful since not every piece of information you need will be accessible online. You must know where to find information, and how to interview clients and witnesses.
Career Prospects
Many legal writers are freelancers who sell their work to law firms, magazines, and publishing houses. In fact, that's how most legal writing careers start. Writers need to establish themselves as authorities in the field before they will be hired by a company. Once their reputations have been established, though, many writers work for such entities directly. Some, however, prefer the freedom of contract work and continue freelance work, albeit at a much higher rate.
There is no set formula for becoming a successful legal writer. However, a degree in communications (or similar degree) combined with a knowledge of legalese and laws will get your foot in the door. How successful you become will depend on your determination, motivation, adaptability, and skill level.

Texting and Driving Mobile Apps: A Dangerous Decision
In the United States, 9 people on average are killed every day as a result of distracted driving, according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Distracted driving occurs when a person engages in any kind of activity that competes with their ability to focus on the road. This can include seemingly benign actions, such as speaking with a passenger or drinking coffee. An electronic device that distracts the driver (cell phone, GPS) can be more dangerous though, because those objects require the use of the driver's visual, manual and cognitive skills. When the driver is focusing those skills on something other than the road, the results can be deadly.
Texting While Driving
Relative to the distraction trifecta – cognitive, visual and manual – there is no worst offender than the cell phone, especially when it's used for texting while driving. When a driver chooses to send a text message, his or her eyes are off the road for an average of just under 5 seconds, and his hands, mind and eyes are otherwise engaged. To put this into perspective, imagine driving the length of a football field at a rate of 55 MPH, while blindfolded. That is what it's like, and that type of 'blindfolded' distracted driving helped cause 387,000 injuries and 3,300 deaths in 2011.
The National Safety Council estimates that about every 30 seconds a car accident is caused by a driver using a cell phone to send or read a text or place a call. That's over one million preventable car accidents every year. If the cell phone distracts the driver, it should be turned off or put away.
For those who can't stand to be out of reach, there are apps available that can help you stay connected without ever having to touch the phone while driving. Here are a few:
- Road Wars: This app was created with teens in mind, but anyone with a love for gaming will find it appealing. Available for iOS only, the idea behind Road Wars is to earn points (which convert to coins) for good driving and to 'capture' roads based on the fact that they were driven well. Coins are lost for using the phone for any reason, speeding, swerving and other bad driving habits. The social aspect of the game comes into play when the driver sees which roads their friends have captured. Through the luck and skill-type games on the app, the roads other people have captured can be taken.
- Safely Go: Designed for drivers of all ages, the Safely Go app is unique in that it doesn't shut off communication from everyone. While the user is driving, he or she can make hands free calls, and there is also an option to allow calls and texts from 3 contacts, such as his or her spouse, boss or child. Everyone else receives an automatic voice or text response, which can be personalized. Additionally, while driving, the user can access to 3 apps, like music and maps.
- DriveSafe.ly: With the DriveSafe.ly app, the user hears incoming texts and emails in real time, and an auto response is sent without the driver having to do a thing. The app's auto-responder is customizable, and it's compatible with Bluetooth and the radio transmitter in the vehicle.
Drivers using their cell phones while behind the wheel create an unnecessarily deadly hazard for themselves and anyone else on the road. More specifically, texting while driving distracts the driver so much that it increases his or her risk of causing an accident by 23 times. The best bet to avoid becoming the cause of a distracted driving car accident is to simply shut off your phone. If you can't bring yourself to do that, install a safe driving app and use it. You'll never know how many lives you might save by doing it, but that's a good thing.read more
Top 5 Reasons Your Site Needs a Blog
Over the last several years, the social media industry has grown by leaps and bounds. More people than ever have Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest accounts, and are using them to connect with followers on a daily basis. While these media platforms are some of the most common for individuals who wish to make their presence known in cyberspace, personal websites are also increasing in popularity. In many cases, these websites are used to sell products, ideas, or services, and can serve as supplementary sources of income.
While there are a number of ways in which personal website owners may be able to increase traffic to their sites, the use of blogs has been found to be especially effective. Blogs not only make a website more personable, but also can provide an explanation of certain listed products and may attract attention from unsuspecting sources.
There is literally an audience for a blog in every niche. While some blogs may not get millions of readers and other blogs may be much less glamorous and even straight up disgusting, there is a time and place for any well written material. One recent example we came across that falls into the, shall we say, "not so glamorous" category would be the Toe Nail fungus niche. We recently chatted with Kristie Collins, a full-time freelance writer who blogs for ToeNailFungusReviews.org, a site dedicated to the reviewing of toenail fungus creams and other nail fungus treatments. We asked her how she ended up writing about toenail fungus for a living and she said: " While you may not have a blog about about toenail fungus treatments in your daily blog reader, you will be damn happy there is one out there when you need it."
Well put, Kristie
Until then, here are some reasons that any business can benefit from a having a blog on their website:read more
Divorce and Social Media: Can Social Media Activity Be Used as Evidence?
Divorce and Social Media: Can social media activity used as evidence?
A couple going through a divorce may use Facebook and other social networking sites as a platform for airing grievances and other information pertaining to the divorce or slandering information about a soon-to-be ex. While it may be tempting to voice your feelings about your ex or specific information about your marital situation, it is important to consider how it may affect your pending divorce. Once you have shared personal information on social networking sites, such as Facebook, it's hard to reverse any damage that may already be done. In some cases, the information you share, can be used as evidence in your divorce hearing.
According to The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, 81% of its members have used or faced evidence from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other social networking sites. Social networking sites are often used to promote divorce-related hate and smear campaigns among battling spouses. While initially, it may seem like a good way to deal with the range of emotions that one may feel when facing divorce, it can ultimately end up being used as evidence in a court of law. Depending on your "angle", the custody of your children and other assets you may be trying to gain may be at risk.
According to CharlesUllman.com, a Cary, NC family law firm, you should consider the following:
- Be Honest: Do not write anything on sites, like Facebook, that you wouldn't admit to. Your lawyer, your ex, the judge are all privy to the information that you post.
- Don't try to force friends to take sides: It may be tempting to reach out on Facebook and persuade mutual friends to take sides. Before or during a divorce is not the time, especially not in a public matter. Regardless of your emotions, beware of what you say and what you ask of friends. Public slander is hard to ignore or erase.
- Take pictures with caution: Questionable pictures can be used against you. Whether you are celebrating your divorce with a couple of friends or posing with your children and a new love interest, make those pictures private until your divorce is finalized. A seemingly innocent picture can be construed negatively, especially during your divorce hearing.
- Use Privacy settings: If you feel like you need to continue to share things on social networking sites, during your divorce proceeding, make sure that you have privacy settings enabled. Only allow the people you trust to see your posts, such as parents, siblings and best friends.
Be Careful with your Words
Divorce hearings can be difficult. By being a responsible and considerate social networking site user, the chance of evidence used against you is slim. Making careless and impulsive comments online can put you and your divorce case at great risk. While you may feel the need to find support among friends, contact them privately or in person. Activity on the internet is shared quickly and even if you never intended for your comments to get back to your soon-to-be ex, it may be used against you or as evidence.

From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, I'm Shannon de Ryhove.
Making headlines today:
The rail unit within State-owned freight logistics group Transnet will spend 52-billion-rand between 2010/11 and 2014/15 on locomotives, wagons and infrastructure projects.
The bigger group was forecasting capital expenditure of 93,4-billion-rand across its rail, ports and pipelines businesses over the same period.
Acting Transnet Freight Rail CEO Tau Morwe says that the capex has been aligned to its operational plan and will cover both expansionary and replacement activities.
New locomotives will be added to the coal and iron-ore export channels. One hundred new diesel locomotives, as well as 50 overhauled diesel engines will be introduced to the general freight business.
While the State-owned power utility is confident that it can meet this demand, Eskom Customer Network Business chief officer, Erica Johnson, says that the country and Eskom can't be complacent and has to ensure that it's able to respond if anything changes.
She reiterated recent Eskom statements that South Africa's electricity supply would, once again, become tight from 2011 onwards.
The Gauteng freeway upgrades will be 80% completed by June.
That's a round up of news making headlines today.

I have a jQuery UI Dialog, it is Modal and shows with a Bounce effect. I use a Theme where the background is dimmed with a striped image. The first time the Dialog is opened, the striped background also covers the dialog during the bounce effect. Once the bounce effect has finished, the dialog becomes modal and appears in front of the striped background. On the next opening, the dialog bounces in front of the background right away.
How can I make the dialog appear in front of the background right away?

WASHINGTON, June 24 Contacts between Iraqi intelligence agents and Osama bin Laden when he was in Sudan in the mid-1990's were part of a broad effort by Baghdad to work with organizations opposing the Saudi ruling family, according to a newly disclosed document obtained by the Americans in Iraq.
American officials described the document as an internal report by the Iraqi intelligence service detailing efforts to seek cooperation with several Saudi opposition groups, including Mr. bin Laden's organization, before Al Qaeda had become a full-fledged terrorist organization. He was based in Sudan from 1992 to 1996, when that country forced him to leave and he took refuge in Afghanistan.
The document states that Iraq agreed to rebroadcast anti-Saudi propaganda, and that a request from Mr. bin Laden to begin joint operations against foreign forces in Saudi Arabia went unanswered. There is no further indication of collaboration.
Last week, the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks addressed the known contacts between Iraq and Al Qaeda, which have been cited by the White House as evidence of a close relationship between the two.
The commission concluded that the contacts had not demonstrated "a collaborative relationship" between Iraq and Al Qaeda. The Bush administration responded that there was considerable evidence of ties.
The new document, which appears to have circulated only since April, was provided to The New York Times several weeks ago, before the commission's report was released. Since obtaining the document, The Times has interviewed several military, intelligence and United States government officials in Washington and Baghdad to determine that the government considered it authentic.
The Americans confirmed that they had obtained the document from the Iraqi National Congress, as part of a trove that the group gathered after the fall of Saddam Hussein's government last year. The Defense Intelligence Agency paid the Iraqi National Congress for documents and other information until recently, when the group and its leader, Ahmad Chalabi, fell out of favor in Washington.
Some of the intelligence provided by the group is now wholly discredited, although officials have called some of the documents it helped to obtain useful.
A translation of the new Iraqi document was reviewed by a Pentagon working group in the spring, officials said. It included senior analysts from the military's Joint Staff, the Defense Intelligence Agency and a joint intelligence task force that specialized in counterterrorism issues, they said.
The task force concluded that the document "appeared authentic," and that it "corroborates and expands on previous reporting" about contacts between Iraqi intelligence and Mr. bin Laden in Sudan, according to the task force's analysis.
It is not known whether some on the task force held dissenting opinions about the document's veracity.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
The deadline for a vote to lock in an immediate 10% pay cut and other contract modifications for union workers at YRC Worldwide has been extended by one week.
Overland Park-based YRC is one of the nation's largest trucking companies. Ballots were to be counted by tomorrow. But YRC pushed the deadline to Jan. 6 because of holiday mail volume, harsh winter weather in parts of the U.S., and a high number of ballot requests.
Earlier this month, the Teamsters union and YRC agreed to a tentative plan for union workers to take an immediate 10 percent pay cut to boost the company's slipping finances.

My friend was thriilled with lovely flowers.
Flowers were wonderful . Service was very good . Will certainly use you again
My friends loved it.
I didn't see the flowers as a gift for a friend....but she was delighted.
However I would appreciate not being inundated with mails asking me for feedback after every purchase. If something was wrong I would let you know, if everything is ok, and as I requested, then the only feedback you will get is repeat business.
Lovely presentation bag.
I was a bit disappointed in the photo it had a pink bag and when the flowers arrived they had grey wrapping with clear wrapping on them . My granddaughter had just had a baby girl and i wanted the wrapping in pink. Also the flowers didn't look as good in the photo my granddaughter sent me.I know they are sent out in bud but the presentation didn't look as good as the photo you show or the amount certainly didn't look like a forty pound bouquet of flowers would have been really disappointed if i had paid that amount for them.

First class service. Flowers delivered on time and were apparently beautiful. I was well informed re delivery at all times.
Looked perfect and made the bouquet!

Dangerously close to my work. This is a delicious spot in the old place where Mokka was in Newport on York. This is not like Alabama if you're curious. This fish house serves fresh fish (I saw it being hand battered) in a cornmeal batter as opposed to a beer batter or a thick greasy batter. The serving setup is similar, served with fries and bread. The fries are quite tasty and crunchy for being frozen fries.
Bayou features a catch of the day if you're wanting to try something new. Their prices are very reasonable also.
The typical setup is there of having tartar sauce, ketchup, hot sauce and mustard. You'll get a free packet of sauteed peppers and onions with your fish. On one occasion I ordered the gumbo which was delicious with okra, chicken and sausage and a medium spice.
Bayou tastes good even cold. I'm a fan! There's a location in Price Hill if you're so inclined on the West side.

I don't know about everyone else, but if ever I needed motivational music, now is the time. With the gloomy Minneapolis winter in full swing, the idea of curling up in a cave and sleeping till spring is seeming more and more attractive with every passing day. For those who can't afford to hibernate, though, the latest single from Dujeous, the NYC hip-hop septet who brought us Booth-exclusive freestyle Shuttle Bus, should provide a much-needed energy boost. Spectacular finds emcees Mojo, Mas D, and Rheturik spitting about the ambition that keeps them grinding when the going gets toughest, flowing over their bandmates' compulsively head-nodding, piano-led groove. Topped off with an anthemic hook by veteran soul songstress Sharon Jones, this track oozes determination – in other words, it's perfect to enjoy with coffee on a frigid, cloudy winter morning. Day In, Day Out, Dujeous' sophomore full-length, isn't set to drop till March 2010, but fans should watch for this single's somewhat less upbeat B-side, Death and Taxes, to hit our front page next week.

Many miles from the hum and buzz of workaday life, the last thing you want to disturb your deep sleep is a pesky root or a fistful of gravel. Forget your typical inch thick backcountry pad, Astro is a full 2.5" thick. Lateral baffles make the pad feel wider and smoother, and 75D polyester fabric resists puncture while keeping the weight down.
Use the integrated valve for inflation, or attach the optional ultralight Disco Pad Pump for a speedy setup. Astro pads include a stuff sack, compression strap, and repair patches. Use Astro Air in combination with the Pillowtop™ when comfort is a priority. The removable layer of comfort foam nested in a washable microsuede cover adds extra insulation while still allowing easy access to the inflation/deflation valve- NEMO

Houston 77, Rice 62
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP)—Robert McKiver scored 25 points and grabbed six rebounds Friday night as Houston defeated crosstown rival Rice 77-62 in the semifinals of the Conference USA tournament.
The Cougars (18-14) built the lead to as much as 22 in the second half behind 3-point shooting. Houston connected on 6-of-12 from long-range after the break and will play fifth-ranked Memphis, a 71-49 winner over Tulane, in the title game Saturday.
Oliver Lafayette finished with 17 points, Marcus Malone had 13, Jahmar Thorpe 10 and Dion Dowell added 11 for Houston.
But it was Malone's defense on Rice guard, Morris Almond, the conference's player of the year, that was most impressive. Almond, who led the league in scoring and was second in the nation averaging 26.9 points per game, was held to 11 points for Rice (16-16).
Lorenzo Williams led seventh-seeded Rice with 16 points, while Patrick Britton scored 13.
Houston led 29-23 at the break behind 12 points from McKiver.
Almond had trouble getting open in the first half as Houston had Malone chasing him all over the floor. Almond managed only three points in the half, missing four of five shots from the field.
The rest of the Cougars swarmed over Rice, forcing a handful of early turnovers.
But the Owls still shot better than 50 percent and tied the game at 20 when Williams scored on a layup with 5:55 left in the half. Then Rice went cold, failing to score for more than 3 minutes, and Houston scored seven straight points for a 29-23 halftime lead.
At times, the play got sloppy with both teams putting up wild shots, making errant passes and failing to get into any offensive flow.
Almond hit his first shot of the second half, a 3-pointer 16 seconds into the period, but his offensive woes continued.
Houston just kept pushing its lead to double figures when Lafayette hit a pair of free throws with 12:44 left. Houston led by as much as 56-39 on back-to-back 3-pointers from Dowell and McKiver with 7:25 left, moving the Cougars to the championship game.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves.

After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More

Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More

Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar.

Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly.

Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad.

I think I waited just long enough to review this album. My initial reaction to MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION was one of absolute hatred. Once again, as Aerosmith has done for me every single time since PUMP, they claimed their album to be something that it just didn't live up to. This time, it was six months of claims that they were returning to their roots and writing a new ROCKS or TOYS IN THE ATTIC. What they delivered was, once again, a lot closer to GET A GRIP or NINE LIVES. It was certainly disappointing, as Aerosmith is much like Metallica in my book - a band who's music I actually WANT to like, but far too often don't.
And yet, after a dozen or so listens to MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION, it really is a grower. Is it great? Nope, not even close. But there are moments where you get some good vibes and some tasty, dirty rock vibe from Tyler, Perry and the boys. Take a song like "Out Go The Lights" as an example. This song is probably the closest thing the band has done in over a decade to classic era Aerosmith; a full on blues rock number resembling "Big Ten Inch Record" and complete with some spit in your face guitar slop from guitarist Joe Perry. There's a real funk here from the entire band, and a lot of that sneering attitude from vocalist Steven Tyler. It's just good.
That's not to say that the album carries on that old school vibe at all, because for the most part it doesn't. In most ways, MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION will remind most long time fans of a more direct, less pompous version of GET A GRIP (which amazingly is now an old school Aerosmith just because it's been out for almost 20 years at this point). Songs like "Luv XXX" and "Legendary Child" are pretty much the standard fare that the cookie cutter factory that Aerosmith has become regularly shits out every few years. Like all their non ballads over the last two decades, the songs are decent but unmemorable past the first few listens. As for the ballads, they suck as always. If there's anything that no one needed to ever hear, it was the pairing of American Idol judge Tyler and American Idol contestant Carrie Underwood dueting on the absolutely abysmal "Can't Stop Lovin' You". Horrible. It's sad that the other guys in the band would allow this to even happen, but you have to think this was a management decision more than anyone, including Tyler, actually wanting to do this. Whatever the reason, it's horrible and should have been avoided.
PITRIFF RATING - 66/100 - An album full of ups and downs, MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION is better than the last couple of albums, but a huge distance away from anything good in their back catalog. It's a reason to tour, and they still do bring it strong live, so I guess that's a good thing. Thinking they can bring it strong one more time is a pipe dream at this point, but we can always hope. After listening to MUSIC FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION, hope is all we have.
