This year's biggest chart toppers were on hand at the annual iHeart Radio event in Las Vegas over the weekend and rocked not only the stage, but the red carpet. Taylor Swift went hue for hue with the red carpet, while the women of The Vampire Diaries showed some major sex appeal with daring backless dresses. Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani were visions in platinum blonde locks, while deadmau5 and new girlfriend Kat Von D made one of their first public appearances as a couple.
Pink incorporated her trademark daring high wire stunts into her performance and later came back down to ground level to perform Just A Girl with No Doubt. Taylor Swift sang her first single from next month's Red, getting the crowd on their feet with We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Pitbull and Ne-Yo hit the stage together, while Billy Joe Armstrong hit the stage with his guitar at the end of his band's set.

Pack Your Bags: Ethical Traveler Shares 10 Best Destinations for 2013
Photo Credit: © LarissaD/ Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
Ready for a vacation — or just ready to start dreaming of one? Ethical Traveler, a nonprofit organization that is a project of Earth Island Institute, just released its annual list of the top places to hit if you want to pack your conscience on your holiday. "Where we go—where we spend our travel dollars—has real economic and political significance," the organization says. "Ethical Traveler believes that mindful travel can bring many benefits, both personal and global. By choosing our destinations well and remembering our roles as citizen diplomats, we can create international goodwill and help change the world for the better."
Ethical Traveler's annual list looks at developing countries and how they stack up in terms of environmental protection, human rights and social welfare. Of course, the organization says, no country is perfect and even among its best picks there is room for improvement. (Read about its methodology here.)
Six of the countries on the list this year were also on last year's list. Three of the countries that were dropped this year lost their spots because of declining in the environmental protection arena — Chile, Serbia and Argentina (Chile and Argentina also failed this year on human rights concerns). The Bahamas was also cut. The report's authors said, "We applauded the country's social welfare and human rights record while spurring it to pay more attention to environmental issues. A year later, however, we conclude that the Bahamas lacks genuine environmental will; as one of the highest GDP generating countries in the Caribbean, the Bahamas has the power and capacity to implement innovative environmental awareness policies, but it failed to do so in 2012."
When it comes to human rights, Ethical Traveler says that some countries were excluded because of legislation that is homophobic (although it doesn't list which countries those were). There are some on the list that "do have anti-gay statutes on the books," but the laws are "laxly enforced" (more on this below).
While the countries on this list have been selected in part because of their commitment to environmental protection, it's worth mentioning that travelers considering any far-flung destination should consider the environmental impact of even making the journey. There is so much to consider about one's economic, social and environmental impact when visiting another country, it's nice that Ethical Traveler has done a lot of research for you and lists not jut the highs of each country, but also the lows (or needs improvement). Like any compilation, it's a great starting point for each person's individual research before traveling.
Without further ado, here are the winners Ethical Traveler has selected this year, listed alphabetically. (View the full report on their Web site.)
1. Barbados
The popular Caribbean vacation spot gets high marks for putting together a green economy study in collaboration with the United Nations Environmental Program. The report also points to its strong rates of literacy and education and its eco-conscious scuba programs, and it was ranked second in the Americas "in Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Perceptions Index."
However, the negatives listed for Barbados seem troubling: "Areas it could work to improve are human trafficking, including more women in the government, and progressing LGBTQ rights." And the report mentions that, "Homosexuality criminalized, possibility of life imprisonment." As a gay traveler, I wouldn't care how lax the enforcement, I wouldn't take my chances.
2. Cape Verde
An island off the coast of West Africa, Cape Verde has the region's highest standard of living and is a relative newcomer as a tourist destination, which can make a visit much more pleasant. Ethical Traveler reports that the country is headed toward 100 percent renewable energy and creating a zero-emissions plan for tourism. It received, "the second-highest ranking for governance performance in the 2011 Ibrahim Index of African Governance," the report says.

Lewis Hamilton believes F1 can look forward to some "close racing" at the inaugural grand prix at the Circuit of the Americas.
Formula One is heading to Austin, Texas next week for the first United States GP to be held at the new CoTA track.
Already the circuit is receiving rave reviews with Hamilton adamant the layout will be conducive to an exciting race.
"I think the Circuit Of The Americas looks like it could also be the place that modern Formula 1 finally calls home," said the McLaren driver.
"I've only driven it on the computer and in the sim, but I think it's going to be a track that drivers enjoy, which produces some great, close racing, and which fans will quickly love."
And when all is said and done after the 55 laps, the 27-year-old hopes to have claimed the maiden win.
"This is a new circuit, a new challenge and a new opportunity - I'm definitely looking to be the first grand prix winner at the Circuit Of The Americas."

Every March is National Nutrition Month - a good reminder for us to keep up with our health habits or begin anew!The national campaign this year wants to create a special health awareness with the theme: "Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day."Looking at the "Choose My Plate" from the USDA, half of your plate should be vegetables and fruits, preferably organic; choose dark green vegetables packed with nutrients and vitamins. One-quarter of the plate should be lean protein; fish is an excellent option twice a week, like salmon and tuna, full of omega-3. And one-quarter should be of whole grains. On this page you'll notice a quick and delicious recipe for a grain called quinoa. I encourage you to give it a try and see what you think.
Prep Time: 3 minutesCooking Time: 30-40 minutesYield: 4 servingsIngredients:1 cup quinoa2 1/4 cups water or stock1/2 cup dried cranberries1/2 cup walnut pieces1/4 cups chopped fresh parsleyPinch of saltDirections: 1. Rinse quinoa in fine mesh strainer until water runs clear.2. Boil the water and add quinoa and salt, cover and reduce heat.3. After 15 minutes add cranberries and walnuts to top, do not stir.4. Cook 5 minutes more, until all the liquid is absorbed.5. Remove from heat, add parsley and fluff with fork, cover and let sit for 3-5 minutes and serve.
But it's not just what we eat that matters, how we eat matters a lot. And it begins as you put the food in your month. CHEWING. As you start to chew your food, saliva releases digestive enzymes that break down food, leading to smooth digestion and allowing greater assimilation of nutrients and break down of carbohydrates. Saliva also makes the food more alkaline, which creates less gas.If you are under pressure or stress at meal times, let the simple act of chewing relax you. You may realize that you need half of what originally was on your plate. Take a few deep breaths, put your cutlery down, have a sip of water, and breathe again. Enjoy the smell, the taste, the texture and the whole spectrum of having a meal. The more you chew your grains and other complex carbohydrates they became more sweet, more satisfying. You should chew, especially whole grains, until it become liquid, for the food to release their full nutritional value. Do you have any idea how much you should chew your food? Read the following excerpt from "Power Eating Program: You Are How You Eat" by Lino Stanchich:To get into the habit of chewing correctly, try counting the chews in each bite, aiming for 30 to 50 times. It helps if you put your fork down between bites. Chew every mouthful of food at least 30 times each, until the food becomes liquid.
Before eating:Shower or wash hands and face. Turn off the television, radio, telephone. Do not read. Find a clean quiet place to eat. Light a candle or play soft music. Stretch, breathe. Say a prayer. Align your posture and breathe. During your meal:Place a bite of food in your mouth. Put your utensil down. Place your hands together while chewing. Begin chewing and deep breathing. Concentrate on what you're doing. Look at your food or something attractive, or close your eyes partially or fully. After eating:Say thanks. Sit and talk after your meal. Take a light stroll.

Back in 2009, Vancouver changed its zoning to allow home owners to build Auxiliary Dwelling Units in their backyards as long the new home was accessed via the back lane. These Laneway Houses are becoming popular as owners can generate small incomes from rent and this increases urban density. Vancouver firm Lanefab is becoming a leader in the design and construction of these small homes and has completed a dozen in the past few years. Their latest project is a super energy-efficient home for a young couple whose parents own the main house.
Their 1 bedroom home includes an open and bright modern kitchen and living area downstairs with the private bed and bath upstairs. A jacuzzi is sunk into the floor of the kitchen and covered with acrylic panels to close it up when not in use. Accordion doors open the living room up to the deck and the outdoors. Built with prefab SIPs, the home has R40 walls, Cascadia triple-glazed windows, triple-glazed aluminum-clad fir doors, Watercycles drainwater heat recovery, a Daikin air-source heat pump, and home automation. According to Lanefab, the home is one of the top five most efficient homes in the city under the EnerGuide program with a score of 87.

We Hooked Up. Now What?
Heating things up can lead to some complicated circumstances. Seventeen's sexpert and contributing editor Amber Madison is here to help you handle the most uncomfortable post-hookup situations.
By Amber Madison
How To Turn It Into Something More
I'm seeing someone, but all we do is hook up. I actually want to date him. What should I do?
Step one: you have to tell him! He might not be pursuing more with you because he doesn't think it's an option. Step two: after you tell him, stop hooking up with him—unless he wants to date you, too! He either has to step up to the plate, or he's out!

Learn more about how these paths can help you optimize your compute, storage and network environment.

Virtualize infrastructure
Often the first step toward a software defined environment is virtualization, which can help reduce capital expense (CapEX) and accelerate value.
However, many enterprises have not fully virtualized the data center – perhaps server resources, but not storage or networking. A recent IBM survey of enterprises revealed only 30 percent have virtualized storage, and just 15 percent have virtualized networking on a wide scale.
The need to implement technologies like big data analytics can provide an impetus to extend virtualization. As they generate huge surges of unstructured data, these initiatives create unprecedented demands on existing storage and network systems. Without a common framework, however, it is difficult and complex to virtualize across technology silos.
Leveraging open interfaces will speed the integration, break down these silos and offer more choice. IBM is investing in open standards through our leadership in Open Source and standards communities for infrastructure management and cloud, our recently announced OpenPOWER consortium, OpenDaylight for networking, and the Open Virtualization Alliance and oVirt for virtualization. IBM has committed to OpenStack as the foundation for all of our SDE offerings.
"According to new research, by 2018, 46 percent of overall datacenter network spending will be on SDNenabled optical, switching and routing hardware."
SDNCentral, April 2013
Automate infrastructure
"The pronounced shift in enterprise storage infrastructure has been caused by the movement to cloud, explosive growth of unstructured data and big data applications. "
IDC, November 2012, IDC #238044, Volume: 1 Executive Information: Top 10 Predictions

Automate cloud delivery
A Software Defined Environment can help reduce risks in cloud implementation and enable self-service agility with application-aware, pattern-based workload deployment.
IBM SmartCloud Orchestrator can help replace manual processes with automation that identifies, applies, captures and reuses workload usage patterns. It applies policy-based optimization to define:
- workloads in terms of the components like application servers and databases
- infrastructure, such as firewalls
- rules that govern how to build, deploy, scale and optimize the services that workloads deliver
Perhaps the most important function is to open up a choice of platforms for virtualization across leading hypervisors. That means IBM PowerVM, PowerVC, z/VM, and KVM, as well as VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V, are all enabled on IBM systems to deliver enterprise-class performance and management support in a virtualized environment. KVM (kernel-based virtual machine) is tuned for Windows and Linux workloads on POWER, System z, and PureFlex platforms.
This rich, open virtualization, which enables a heterogeneous environment, is the first step toward an SDE that is simplified, adaptive and responsive. With intelligent resource scheduling, Software Defined Computing helps maximize utilization, ensure compliance and decrease administrative costs beyond the data center.
"When you are able to represent hardware as software, you make the entire IT ecosystem more programmable, dynamic and subject to far higher degrees of management automation."
IBM Fellow Jeff Frey

For software defined storage, stop comparing hardware specifications
Posted by Ian Shave February 17, 2014
Many storage purchasing decisions are still based on specifications, as IT or purchasing departments strive to make "apples to apples" comparisons based on hardware specification, such as cache size, quantity of disk drives and so on. In an SDE, these comparisons will fail to lead to a meaningful conclusion for two keys reasons.
Introducing the unified Software Defined Networking Controller
Posted by Charles Ferland January 28, 2014
We are proud to introduce the new unified IBM Software Defined Network for Virtual Environments (SDN VE) controller. It encompasses both network overlays and physical programmability of your physical devices within the same controller. Not different controllers, not different teams—one unified controller that deploys and manages all of the networking elements, both virtual and physical.
Software defined environments need flexible architectures – right?
Posted by Marisol Diaz December 13, 2013
There has been a lot of noise lately around the topic of software defined environments (SDE). Some talk about software defined storage (SDS) like some sort of storage virtualization, while others consider it a new type of software to integrate storage systems more intelligently. But people do seem to agree on one point…

Even when not usually written, a Driver is a Device Driver. Something physical, hardware, needs a Driver, and in computer terms is the code or program needed by the device to work properly.
An API (Application program interface), is the part of exposed code of a program so you can communicate with it, you could say is like the buttons of a blender, the steering wheel of a car, if there is no interface there is no way to communicate.
MySQL is software, not hardware, not a device, so it is a Driver in itself that makes a computer work as a database (an specific Application), so MySQL has an API too, but it does not need nor uses a Driver since it is the Driver.
Sometimes you have a Driver, with its API, but you can not communicate with it, with what you have, so the language needs to be extended, in this case, the capabilities of the language you are using, in order for it to be able to communicate with the API of the Driver (in this case MySQL Driver), so that is called and Extension (of the language you are using), and it is not and API, neither a Driver, is just that, and Extension. Then why it is called API (application program interface) and not DPI (device program interface), well, that is because a Device might have different Applications, (read it as different uses) for example an USB device, might be used as storage device, as audio CD, as DVD movie, etc. so the interface is oriented to the application of the device and not to the device itself.

Hart overcomes cultural differences
When Adams Central and Huntington University graduate Kim Hart traveled to China to teach English a few years ago, she never realized how closely connected she was with Chinese people in spite of cultural differences.
"It got to where my heart really connected with theirs," said Hart. "In spite of cultural differences between us, I was really moved to see how much they care about and connect with their families. They are very gracious people.
"They are very relationship oriented," Hart said. "There was a lot of good things for me to learn while I was over in China. They cared about our people and our needs and concerns."
When Hart graduated from Adams Central in 2005, she went to Huntington University, but she wasn't sure what type of major she wanted to get involved with.
"My older sister (Kristen) went to Huntington. I decided to visit as a senior and I liked the atmosphere," said Kim. "I always had a desire to live and work overseas during the time I was at Huntington. I had the opportunity to go on a short-term trip. I went with a non-profit organization to help with English."
Hart said she actually became interested in teaching English in China when a couple of her professors at Huntingon told her about a simple non-profit organization that sends out professionals to assist with English needs in various countries. The first year that Hart served, she was placed in a school with need on the east coast of China. The first year, her class was especially filled with college sophomores. The second year she taught at a community language center.
"It was definitely a challenge to leave your family and friends and everything," observed Hart. "It was great to develop connections over a period of time to learn about their culture. By the end of the second year, the place I came to that seemed so foreign, a place where I struggled, had become home."
When she returned to the United States, Hart began to look at different aides and assistant positions. Quickly, it appeared that the signs were pointing toward Adams Central.
"I had never worked with special needs before, but I am very thankful to work here," said Hart, of her position at Adams Central. "I am so thankful to have the opportunity to work here with these students. They fill me with a lot of joy every day. I have learned a lot from them.
"I love to see how they love to learn, the joy they get from learning and things they accomplish exciting. I love their hearts; people's hearts are worth more than anything," said Hart.

KENSINGTON, Md. (AP) - In a story Dec. 28 about a fatal crash on the Capital Beltway, The Associated Press, based on information provided by state police, erroneously reported that a female crash victim had died. The woman, Florentina Gonzalez, is alive and is being treated for her injuries at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Police identify 3 victims of Beltway crash
Md. police identify 3 victims of Beltway crash; charges pending against hospitalized driver
KENSINGTON, Md. (AP) _ Maryland state police have identified the two people who were killed in a Christmas Eve crash on the Capital Beltway involving three vehicles.
Police say 30-year-old Jasmine Fajemisin and 25-year-old Anthony Benlizar, both of Silver Spring, died at the scene. A third person, 72-year-old Florentina Gonzalez, also of Silver Spring, was injured. She was being treated for her injuries Sunday at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Police say the crash remains under investigation. The crash occurred around 7:40 p.m. Monday when a driver lost control of a car on the outer loop of the Beltway near Connecticut Avenue. The car skidded and was hit by two pickup trucks. Police have not identified the driver of the car that lost control. Charges are pending against that person, who remains hospitalized.

Sized as Expected

Most Helpful Critical Review
Just had a pair of these delivered. Merrell claim "Men's Weight: 288g", I just took a size 10 off the scale that weighed in at 422g. I understand that different sizes weigh different amounts but a 46% increase from the advertised weight is inexcusable. Quoting what must have been the weight of the smallest size available is extremely misleading advertising.
Larger than Expected
Very satisfied Ealing last week through wet grass etc. feet dry. Comfortable shoes
Sized as Expected
Very comfortable at first try, but smaller than expected so I will order larger size
Smaller than Expected
Bought a pair 2 months ago, returned them within a fortnight because one of the eyelets came away from the shoe. Got a replacement pair and the same thing happened today. Pretty annoyed. Expect better for £120. Otherwise comfortable but expect better
Hello, thank you for your review. We are sorry to learn that you have been disappointed with one of our products. We offer 1 year warranty on all our products and would like to assist you further with this. Please contact our Customer Services team via the Contact Us page. The Merrell Team

Thanks guys for all the kind comments. To answer your questions, I hope to run the Qual at the Golden National this year with Slater and his daddy Fisher (who is a breed champion and has run three quals already). Yes, a new bandana would be appropriate especially if it is Gator orange and blue. Slater is 22 3/4" tall and about 68 lbs. Slater HATES pheasants which I hear they use at the MN so no, we won't be going!

Not sure, Fisher (Slater's dad) loves pheasants, chukkars, pigeons, whatever and never has blinked an eye, from day one Slater has really not been crazy about anything but a duck, with pheasants being the most detestful. To be fair, we rarely if ever see anything but ducks in my neck of the woods. It is so uncommon it's not worth training or exposing him to it enough to get him to love them. I'm sure if he went upland hunting he'd learn real quick to like them

Litwiller takes Dad's advice to superintendent's office
There was a time when newly appointed South Adams school superintendent Scott Litwiller was thinking of dropping out of college and returning to the family farm to work with his father, Bob Litwiller.
"My dad told me that I needed to get my degree first. I needed to finish my education, then if I wanted to come back home to work on the farm I could," Litwiller said.
Litwiller first attended Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and then transferred to Fort Wayne Bible College where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education.
At first, Litwiller combined teaching and farming. His first teaching job was in Pendleton; then he spent a year as an elementary teac...

Why the War Against Fracking May Be Our Most Crucial Conflict
To stay on top of important articles like these, sign up to receive the latest updates from TomDispatch.com here.
There's a war going on that you know nothing about between a coalition of great powers and a small insurgent movement. It's a secret war being waged in the shadows while you go about your everyday life.
In the end, this conflict may matter more than those in Iraq and Afghanistan ever did. And yet it's taking place far from newspaper front pages and with hardly a notice on the nightly news. Nor is it being fought in Yemen or Pakistan or Somalia, but in small hamlets in upstate New York. There, a loose network of activists is waging a guerrilla campaign not with improvised explosive devices or rocket-propelled grenades, but with zoning ordinances and petitions.
The weaponry may be humdrum, but the stakes couldn't be higher. Ultimately, the fate of the planet may hang in the balance.
All summer long, the climate-change nightmares came on fast and furious. Once-fertile swathes of American heartland baked into an aridity reminiscent of sub-Saharan Africa. Hundreds of thousands of fish dead in overheated streams. Six million acres in the West consumed by wildfires. In September, a reportcommissioned by 20 governments predicted that as many as 100 million people across the world could die by 2030 if fossil-fuel consumption isn't reduced. And all of this was before superstorm Sandy wreaked havoc on the New York metropolitan area and the Jersey shore.
Washington's leadership, when it comes to climate change, is already mired in failure. President Obama permitted oil giant BP to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, while Shell was allowed to begin drilling tests in the Chukchi Sea off Alaska. At the moment, the best hope for placing restraints on climate change lies with grassroots movements.
In January, I chronicled upstate New York's homegrown resistance to high-volume horizontal hydraulic fracturing, an extreme-energy technology that extracts methane ("natural gas") from the Earth's deepest regions. Since then, local opposition has continued to face off against the energy industry and state government in a way that may set the tone for the rest of the country in the decades ahead. In small hamlets and tiny towns you've never heard of, grassroots activists are making a stand in what could be the beginning of a final showdown for Earth's future.
Frack Fight 2012
New York isn't just another state. Its largest city is the world's financial capital. Six of its former governors have gone on to the presidency and Governor Andrew Cuomo seems to have his sights set on a run for the White House, possibly in 2016. It also has a history of movements, from abolition and women's suffrage in the nineteenth century to Occupy in the twenty-first. Its environmental campaigns have included the watershed Storm King Mountain case, in which activists defeated Con Edison's plan to carve a giant facility into the face of that Hudson River landmark. The decision established the right of anyone to litigate on behalf of the environment.
Today, that activist legacy is evident in a grassroots insurgency in upstate New York, a struggle by ordinary Americans to protect what remains of their democracy and the Earth's fragile environment from giant corporations intent on wrecking both. On one side stands New York's anti-fracking community; on the other, the natural gas industry, the state's Department of Environmental Conservation, and New York's industry-allied Joint Landowners Coalition.
As for Governor Cuomo, he has managed to anger both sides. He seemed to bow to industry this past June by hinting that he would end a 2010 moratorium on fracking introduced by his predecessor David Paterson and open the state to the process; then, in October, he appeared to retreat after furious protests staged in Washington D.C., as well as Albany, Binghamton, and other upstate towns.
