North Americans spend almost 90% of their time indoors. Exposure to chemical and biological contaminants increases, and therefore can contribute to the risk of developing respiratory and neurologic symptoms, allergies, asthma and various forms of cancer.
Gaseous and particle pollutant levels in the home are often 2 to 100 times higher than those found outdoors. A home's furnishings, building materials, appliances, cleaning chemicals, and hobby materials are just some of the sources of these pollutants. Excessive moisture in homes from water leaks and uncontrolled humidity also can lead to elevated allergens and molds. A consequence of air tight and well-insulated building construction is less fresh air enters structure, which allows pollutant levels to increase by trapping air inside. Eventually, indoor air quality can become irritating and unhealthy to home occupants, contributing to unacceptable and noxious odours.
We are all now aware of how bacteria and virus are spread between people in close contact. A home with the Odorox® technology cleaning the air and surfaces, will assist in the reduction of these germs/micro-organisms as it is constantly working to eliminate them before they have a chance to spread. Odorox® hydroxyl generators provide a working solution to poor indoor air quality by cleaning the air and all the surfaces in the confined space from bacteria, virus, mould, volatile organic compounds (VOC's).
People who suffer from:
Odorox® products for use in the home are the Oasis which is connected to the central air system for homes up to 3,500 sq feet. For apartments or for use in smaller sections of the home you should consider the Slim Line which are compact and designed for smaller spaces.

Distinctive Cup
After all is said and done there is one simple truth about coffee and it speaks for itself: The taste in the cup.
With three decades experience sourcing, roasting, tasting, and blending - one small batch at a time - more than a million pounds in all - we are proud to offer not one but several uniquely satisfying coffees in a handful of styles that have become our own.
Coffee Works style is embodied in our distinctive blends: Jump Start®, Sweetfire®, Dark Star, and Balthazar's. We start by seeking out coffees grown by farmers specializing in traditional "untechnified" farming methods: small scale family farmers, tree ripening, hand harvesting, sun-drying. We develop their natural handmade flavors with careful roasting and then layer them for the richest balance of flavors.
The result is something that's as unmistakable as it is indefinable. Take a sip and you'll know: "That's great coffee."

Worth County Schools is atypical midsize school districtin Sylvester, GA, a town proudto be known as the "Peanut Capital of theWorld." As is the case with many of our peerdistricts, Worth County's networkingbudget often seems like peanuts comparedto the demands of our mission—accountability,security, and operational efficiency—requiring us to do more with less.
Our IT department serves 4,099students at five schools: Worth County HS,Worth County MS, Holley ES, SylvesterES, and Worth County Primary. In additionto configuring, maintaining, and fixingour district's hundreds of PCs and softwareapplications, our IT team supplies connectivityto and within each school,as well as tothe administrators, teachers, and students.
We are responsible for ensuring highperformance from our networked applications—from student information andeducational software, to accounting andpersonnel systems—performance thatmeets user expectations, no matter wherethose users are. We also maintain internalnetwork security, enforcing access policiesto sustain the integrity of administrativeand educational information systems.
Finally, we must not only guaranteeconnectivity, but also restrict illicit use ofthe Internet, which can put us in a catch-22situation in our middle and high schools.These students are often very computer savvy,but are still in the process of developingan ethical awareness. Ultimately,we're responsible for keeping them out ofmischief, but the better they're taught—which is the district's fundamental goal—the harder our job becomes.
Our existing suite of tools gave us a fragmentedview of network and applicationperformance, making it difficultfor us to see the real sourceof our problems. We hadalmost no view of actual trafficother than what was reportedfrom router and switch interfaces.What's more, the view we had stopped at theedge of the Internet. As a result, although weupdated our antivirus and firewall settings,we had difficulty judging the effectiveness ofour security, which made it virtually impossibleto be sure only approved applicationswere running on our network.
But all that changed when Systems &Solutions Inc. (SSI; www.systemsandsolutions.net), a Georgia-based technologyintegrator, installed a NetSensory NP-500network application performance managementappliance from Network Physics(www.networkphysics.com) in our district'sdata center. SSI is Network Physics'exclusive partner in the educational arena.
Among the first things SSI's CTO CoryMartin identified were two variants of theSasser worm that had infected WorthCounty's network, unbeknownst to us. Hequickly recommended appropriate action.
The NP-500's deep probing into theresponse times of application componentsrevealed the cause of application slowdowns.Furthermore, the fact that the appliance'srich mix of charts, tables, topologymaps—as well as both automatic andprogrammed alerts—can be accessed usinga Java desktop application, allows us to troubleshootproblems from anywhere. Thisend-to-end view saves us a lot of time sincewe typically don't have to go out to the schoolin question to figure out what's happening.
The NP-500 showed us how much ofthe district's bandwidth was being eaten bynon-educational applications such as AOLInstant Messenger and Gnutella. We couldalso see students trying to bypass ourInternet filtering using proxy sites, and byusing the classroom logs, we were able toidentify the students who were responsible.Students now know that they're nolonger invisible on the Internet whenthey're using school computers. It's likegiving the teachers in our computer labseyes in back of their heads—somethingthat's needed for our job anyway!
The appliance's ability to group networktraffic by school, lab, or other logical divisionusing IP addresses, or applications by port, isa critical part of network monitoring. Bydragging these groups into the NetSensoryTopology window, we can immediatelyidentify all traffic between the groups andthe Internet. Filtering by application identifieswhat is running on the network; drillingdown through the top "talkers" shows whothey are,where they're going, and how muchbandwidth they're using.
Going forward, we anticipate improvingour network security with theinformation furnished by the NP-500. SSI ishelping us design security zones to segmentadministrative, educational, lab, and otherusers so there's no physical way to access thewrong resources. The real-time and historicaldata from the NetSensory appliance letus see actual traffic relationships betweenthese groups, and will enable us to track theeffect of the routing as we implement it.

After several weeks long disputes within the guild, the Malagasy journalists have decided to postpone the election of one supposed to represent them insied the Independent National Electoral Commission.
This election basically scheduled on February 15th and 17th, then finally canceled, has turned into a stumbling block. Only those ones owning press cards will be entitled to vote, and everyone finally agreed on the fact that the register will have to be reviewed prior to that.
Many civil servants from the Ministry of Communication were granted press cards, although having no business with it whatsoever. Knowing that some genuine journalists were denied access to the famous card, the infuriated union is calling for accounts, for the situation might contribute to fiddle results

A new study out by Microsoft AdCenter confirms it – small business are still missing the mark when it comes to the potential of online.
It appears a large proportion of small business owners are still stuck in the "build it and they will come" mentality. The study highlights that most small businesses have developed websites, but have done little more to enhance their online business presence.
According to the report, over 59% of small business owners who own websites don't use paid search marketing, and of those, a whopping 90% have never tried it.
Maybe this statistic tells the real story. Apparently
…seven in 10 small-business owners who participated revealed that they would rather try to do their own taxes than start a paid search marketing campaign.

The abrupt turnaround in Orange County home prices rescued more than 64,000 "underwater" homeowners from a flood of red ink this past spring.
CoreLogic reported that 36,615 Orange County homes were under water – that is, owed more on their mortgages than their homes were worth – by the end of June.
That's down 36 percent from the same period in 2012 – and down nearly 70 percent from the end of 2011, when one in five O.C. homes with a mortgage was under water, figures from the Irvine-based housing data firm show.
Orange County home prices increased nearly 22 percent in the 12 months ending in June, CoreLogic reported, helping to push the bulk of underwater homes back above water.
"Price appreciation obviously had a positive impact on home equity over the first half of 2013," said Anand Nallathambi, CoreLogic's president and CEO.
Specifically, CoreLogic reported that:
The number of Orange County homes that are under water was well below the national and state averages.
CoreLogic reported that 14.5 percent of mortgaged U.S. homes were under water in the second quarter, representing 7.1 million households. About 2.5 million U.S. households rose above water from the first to the second quarters.
California had just over 1 million underwater homes in the second quarter, or 15.4 percent of mortgaged households. About 401,000 California households rose above water from the first to the second quarters.

Israelis & Palestinians: What Went Wrong?
Before the Yom Kippur War of 1973, Dayan's position toward Egypt was that it was preferable to retain Sharm el Sheik and half the Sinai peninsula without peace than to have peace with Egypt without retaining Sharm el Sheik. After the Yom Kippur War, Dayan's position toward Egypt changed, and he was willing to leave the occupied Sinai. As for the occupied West Bank, in complete disregard of demographic realities, he remained an annexationist. Henry Kissinger complained that whenever he asked the Israelis about their political intentions there, he failed to receive an answer.
The truth was that despite the "Three No's" of Khartoum, direct negotiations with Jordan began soon after the Six-Day War, by 1970 with King Hussein himself. Even while Golda Meir was publicly lamenting, "If the Arabs would only sit down with us at a table like decent human beings and talk!," her representatives were secretly meeting the King. Hussein flew his own helicopter to Tel Aviv and was taken by Dayan on a tour of the city by night. The King was ready to make peace with Israel if Israel withdrew from much of the West Bank as well as from East Jerusalem and if the Muslim and Christian holy places in the Old City were restored to Jordan. The King was ready to make concessions to Israel along the narrow coastal plain and at the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Israel would not hear of it. The expanded municipal area of Jerusalem—by now it included not only Arab East Jerusalem but a part of the former West Bank—was declared Israel's capital for "all eternity." In addition to this Greater Jerusalem area, which was being intensively settled by Israelis on land confiscated from its Palestinian owners, Israel insisted on the latest (expanded) version of the Allon Plan. It called for the annexation of the entire Jordan Valley from the Lake of Tiberias down to the Dead Sea, the heavily populated area between Jerusalem and Hebron in the south, and the slopes of the western and northern mountain range of Samaria in the north. The King indicated that for such far-reaching concessions the Israelis would have to negotiate with the PLO. In retrospect, it is tragic that no agreement could be reached with Palestinian leaders in the West Bank or with Jordan in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
We are speaking of a time, thirty years ago, before the Palestinians were radicalized by an increasingly humiliating occupation regime and by large-scale expropriation of Palestinian land for the exclusive use of Israeli settlers. Neither Hamas nor Hezbollah existed and the PLO was not recognized internationally. Hamas was, in fact, encouraged by the Israelis as a counterweight to the PLO, much as the CIA supported the Islamic extremists in Afghanistan. An autonomous Palestinian entity, at peace with Israel, would not have removed the PLO from the scene but it might have considerably weakened its impact. Alternatively, in a peace settlement with Jordan the Palestinian issue might have reverted to what it had been before 1967: mainly a Jordanian problem.
The failure to reach an agreement seems all the more tragic, since at that time there were still relatively few settlers—fewer than 3,000—and they would not have been able to veto all concessions, as they do today. Today there are 200,000 settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip—their number has been allowed to almost double since the Oslo agreement of 1993. With 200,000 more settlers on former Jordanian territory in East Jerusalem, the total number has now reached 400,000. The settlement project continues to grow even now. Imagine the effect on the peace process in Northern Ireland if the British government continued moving thousands of Protestants from Scotland into Ulster and settling them, at government expense, on land confiscated from Irish Catholics.
The occupation was, by and large, a paying proposition. Until the first intifada twenty years later its costs were more than covered by taxes on the Palestinian population as well as by turning the West Bank and Gaza into a captive market for Israeli-produced goods and services. Michael Ben Yair, Israel's attorney general in the Rabin government, recently wrote in Ha'aretz:
The Six-Day War was forced on us; but the war's Seventh day, which began on June 12, 1967—continues to this day and is the product of our choice. We enthusiastically chose to become a colonialist society, ignoring international treaties, expropriating lands, transferring settlers from Israel to the occupied territories, engaging in theft and finding justifications for all this.
These are harsh words, but it is a characteristic of the tragic folly I am describing that Ben Yair did not put forward such views in a legal brief when he was still attorney general, as he could have done nine years earlier.
The settlers now are the strongest political lobby in Israel. In recent years they have been supported by lavish subsidies, grants of land, low-rent housing, government jobs, tax benefits, and social services more generous than any in Israel proper. The settlements are now a kind of suburbia of Israel proper: most settlers commute daily to their jobs in Jerusalem and the greater Tel Aviv area. With few exceptions, the settlements have not made Israel more "secure" as was sometimes claimed; they have made Israel less secure. They have greatly extended the country's lines of defense. They impose a crushing burden of protecting widely dispersed settlements deep inside densely populated Palestinian territories, where ever larger numbers of Palestinians are increasingly infuriated by the inevitable controls, curfews, and violence, as well as by humiliation imposed on them by insensitive or undisciplined recruits and army reservists.
Two examples: an entire armored regiment has been tied down for years to protect a small colony of nationalist, religious fanatics in downtown Hebron, a deeply fundamentalist Muslim city. They believe that the Kingdom of God is near and—at first against government orders—squatted illegally in a couple of abandoned, half-ruined houses.
In the Gaza Strip some of the well-established, prospering settlements are only a few hundred meters away from the vast refugee camps, populated by third- and fourth-generation Palestinian refugees. In five minutes a visitor might feel as if he were passing from Southern California to Bangladesh—through barbed-wire entanglements, past watchtowers, searchlights, machine-gun positions, and fortified roadblocks: a bizarre and chilling sight.
The Palestinians are infuriated as well by seeing their olive groves uprooted or burned down by settlers while their water faucets go dry and their ancestral land reserves and scarce water resources are taken over for the use of settlers who luxuriate nearby in their swimming pools and consume five times as much water as the average Palestinian. The settlements themselves occupy less than 20 percent of the West Bank, but through a network of so-called regional councils they control planning and environmental policy for approximately 40 percent of the West Bank, according to figures recently published by B'tzelem, the Israeli human rights organization.
It is not difficult to imagine what the settlers' lobby means in a country with notoriously narrow parliamentary majorities. Though 70 percent of Israeli voters say in the polls that they support abandoning some of the settlements, 400,000 settlers and their right-wing and Orthodox supporters within Israel proper now control at least half the national vote. They pose a constant threat of civil war if their interests are not fully respected. At their core is a group of fanatical nationalists and religious fundamentalists who believe they know exactly what God and Abraham said to each other in the Bronze Age.
The settlers are no longer outsiders or squatters as they once were. A great many became settlers for purely pragmatic reasons—cheaper housing in what they hoped would be more pleasant surroundings within easy commuting distance to Israel. For almost twenty-five years the settlers have been praised by every Israeli government as patriots, good citizens, good Zionists. At least in the West Bank, the settlement project long ago became a cornerstone of Zionist and Israeli national identity. By now there is a second generation of settlers who see no difference between themselves and other Israelis who live in Tel Aviv or Tiberias. Since the outbreak of the most recent intifada and the emergence of reckless suicide bombers, moreover, they are not merely defending an idea; as they see it, they are defending "home."
As a result, on both sides now, the extremists are dominant: in Israel and Palestine they veto all progress toward peace. Disasters follow one after another daily and the end is not in sight. Hamas seems to have usurped the Palestinian national movement while hard-line religious groups seem to be usurping the Jewish national cause. The situation seems all the more tragic, since thirty years after Hussein's first peace proposals in 1970, a similar peace scheme was tentatively endorsed by the Barak government. At Camp David, one of the worst-prepared peace conferences in history, Clinton, not Barak himself, conveyed to the Palestinians several "bases for negotiation" calling for a Palestinian state in which Israelis would continue to occupy roughly 9 percent of the West Bank; as Robert Malley and Hussein Agha wrote in these pages, Arafat was "unable to say yes to the American ideas or present a cogent or specific counterproposal of [his] own."1
After more secret meetings between Israeli and Palestinian diplomats during the autumn, Clinton, on December 23, 2000, conveyed to Arafat what he called the "parameters" of an improved scheme, which the Israeli cabinet accepted2 ; Arafat's reply to Clinton was delayed ten days, and when it finally arrived it expressed both interest in the new proposals and reservations about them. The negotiators (but not the principals) met again at Taba in Egypt between January 21 and 27 in 2001 and issued a statement saying, "The two sides have never been closer to reaching an agreement and it is thus our shared belief that the remaining gaps could be bridged…." It was too late: Clinton had left office, and the Israeli elections were impending. Like every other observer, Arafat was aware that Barak would lose.
We can only speculate on his reasons for not clearly accepting at least the basic outlines of an agreement. He may have thought he might obtain better terms under the incoming Bush administration. Or he may have despaired of ever restoring the West Bank and Gaza to Palestinian rule by diplomatic means. According to Robert Malley, who was present at the Camp David negotiations, the Palestinian negotiators were divided and competed with one another. Arafat apparently lost control over some of his own internal factions. He may have hoped at this moment that just as Hezbollah terror had succeeded in driving Israel out of southern Lebanon, so Israel could be forced by continuing violence to abandon Gaza and the West Bank. Arafat's strategy at this stage, or perhaps even before, could even have been to hold out for a kind of Greater Palestine—just as powerful Israelis had long been planning a Greater Israel from the sea to the river Jordan. Sharon has long said he has been in favor of a Palestinian state east of the river, i.e., in what is now Jordan.
I don't pretend to know what makes Arafat tick. He and his henchmen certainly underestimated, grossly so, Israel's power, resilience, resolve, and international support. Arafat may, or may not, have decided already in 1993 to exploit the Oslo agreement in order to first consolidate a power base on the West Bank and then try to enlarge it later on to include a Greater Palestine, taking over all or parts of Israel proper. This is what the hard-liners in Israel claim and they may be right. Or they may be wrong: the Palestinians invested $3 billion in new tourist facilities on the West Bank during the past seven years; they may not have done so if the plan had always been to wage an all-out struggle. Such an investment would make sense for the Palestinian state that Arafat has often said he wants and Sharon is determined to prevent.
I interviewed Arafat in his Tunis headquarters in 1993 while the secret Oslo talks were still going on. He never hinted even vaguely that he knew of the talks, though one of his aides did. Arafat complained at great length about Rabin. At one point I asked him: "What do you want Rabin to do?" He said: "He is not a De Gaulle. Let him be at least a De Klerk." To Israeli ears, this sounded ominous. Under De Gaulle, the entire French population quit Algeria. Under De Klerk, the whites were allowed to remain in a Greater South Africa controlled by the black majority. Arafat refused to clarify this remark. It may have been mere rhetoric. Out of Arafat's hearing, one of his assistants later said sarcastically: "Well, the old man is no De Gaulle either."
The right wing in Israel may be correct in claiming, as they now do, that no workable compromise is possible with the Palestinians, but if they are right, there is all the more reason to regret the strategically senseless extension of Israel's defense lines to embrace a multitude of vulnerable, widely dispersed, often isolated Israeli settlements deep in heavily populated Palestinian territory. Instead of minimizing friction, they increased it. Almost 200 settlements on the West Bank and in the Gaza Strip and more than 200,000 settlers in East Jerusalem are potentially explosive irritants that can undo any possible historic compromise. How much easier would it now have been, if Israel were poised more or less along the 1967 line (from which, after all, it defeated three Arab countries in six days).
Instead Sharon's government is now trying, mostly for domestic political reasons, to build high walls along this line and innumerable other high walls around each settlement and each Palestinian town. Every other day it dispatches tanks and combat helicopters to patrol the roads leading to each settlement. It nevertheless suffers heavy casualties, calls up the reserves, and deploys huge forces in Jerusalem to prevent suicide bombers from making their way into Jewish neighborhoods. In too many cases, these extensive security measures fail—inevitably perhaps, since in Jerusalem Palestinian and Israeli residential and business quarters are intermixed, suicide bombers seem to get through the tightest controls, and retaliating strikes don't discourage them.
In Israel and in Palestine, the center has collapsed. The much talked about "two-state solution" may no longer be practicable since on both sides all confidence is gone. The extremists of Greater Israel and the extremists of Greater Palestine mutually veto all progress. I use the terms "Greater Israel" and "Greater Palestine" with deliberate bitterness. We know the evil wrought by similar "Great" projects elsewhere: "Greater Serbia," "Greater Bulgaria," "Greater Ustashi Croatia," and "Greater Greece."
Israel is now likely to remain in physical control of millions of restive Palestinians. We don't know for how long. It is possible that the long-sought "solution" will be delayed by another generation, perhaps more than one. For what does Ariel Sharon mean when he says he aims at dismantling what he calls the "infrastructure" of terror? The true "infrastructure" is not in some odd garage or workshop where belts loaded with explosives and steel nails are prepared and homemade mortar missiles are built. The true infrastructure is more dangerous: it consists both of the growing willingness of enraged young men and women to blow themselves up and the religious and political culture in twenty-one Arab countries that praises the suicide bombers as martyrs. This "infrastructure" is diffuse. It may not have a center. The most powerful air force can't defeat it. In Afghanistan the Americans defeated the Taliban but not al-Qaeda, which continues to exist.
The race between Netanyahu and Sharon for the leadership of Likud is pushing both men further to the right. Sharon says he will not dismantle a single settlement. For both men, this may or may not be a bargaining position. But for their political survival, both men depend on right-wing and religious extremists. By effectively consuming the one thing Israel had to offer the Palestinians in return for peace—Palestinian land—the extended settlement project, I fear, may yet prove Israel's undoing. It may lead to two equally awful alternatives: wholesale ethnic cleansing or permanent violence, terror, suicide bombers, possibly all-out war.
Perhaps Israel's greatest tragedy has been the deterioration over the years of the quality of Israeli leadership. A flawed electoral system had a lot to do with this, since it discourages clear majorities. Recent attempts to tinker with the constitution have increased political instability. In less than a decade, one prime minister was assassinated by a right-wing fanatic and three prime ministers have been unable to serve out their terms. Government continues to depend on forming unwieldy coalitions that give undue leverage to religious and other splinter and pressure groups. The perennial instability has encouraged waste, xenophobia, and demagoguery. The moral bankruptcy of the Labor Party made inevitable the ascendancy of Likud and its religious, nationalist, and semifascist allies.
It remains to be seen if in the few weeks left until the Israeli election, Amram Mitzna, the new Labor leader, will succeed in reversing this trend. It seems unlikely. By promising to renew peace talks unconditionally with the Palestinians and to withdraw from Gaza and from some of the more remote West Bank settlements, Mitzna has at least offered voters a clearer alternative to Sharon than has been the case so far. He faces the enormous task of reeducating a terrorized electorate driven by recent events to support harsh measures against Palestinians. He must also try to rebuild a discredited party shattered by shameless opportunism and infighting among special interest groups.
It could be argued that the missed peace opportunities would have saved a lot of needless bloodshed and it could, of course, also be argued that such a "peace" might have proved to be illusory, a short-lived cease-fire with an adversary resolved to remove an intrusion, as the Crusader state was wiped out after a series of cease-fires and armistices. The jihad, according to this line of thought, would go on and on. I am not saying that it won't; but the peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan, which have survived many a tough moment, seem to suggest that the wider Arab–Israeli conflict can only end if Israelis and Palestinians arrive at a compromise.
The nature and details of such a compromise have been known for years: the partition of a country over which the two national independence movements have clashed for almost a century now. The bazaar diplomacy of the past ten years has clearly been counterproductive. The so-called "incremental" Oslo peace process was abused by both sides; by relegating the most difficult problems to the very last stage it encouraged both sides to cheat. When force did not work, there was a tendency to believe in using more force, which led, as we are seeing, only to another dead end. The search for secure borders—even when it did not involve the domination of one people by another—was carried too far. No border is ever deemed absolutely secure before it seems absolutely insecure to the other side and so makes the next war inevitable.
The vast settlement project after 1967, aside from being grossly unjust, has been self-defeating and politically ruinous. "We've fed the heart on fantasies,/the heart's grown brutal on the fare," as William B. Yeats put it almost a century ago in a similar dead-end situation in Ireland. The settlement project has not provided more security but less. It may yet, I tremble at the thought, lead to results far more terrible than those we are now witnessing.

"Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."--Steve Jobs
From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched.
Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.

SALT LAKE CITY, March 5, 2012 — For the record, one does not need to be concerned with Anne Hathaway. Sure, she's lovely; her eyebrows looked great post-makeover in "The Princess Diaries" and we were all very happy to see her go to Paris in "A Devil Wears Prada."
Since the Oscars, her face is now everywhere and the reaction has been coming in negative. The Huffington post, Us Magazine, The New Yorker Blog, the Daily Mail, MTV.com, the Atlantic, CNN: virtually everyone is trying to figure out why we now "hate" Anne Hathaway. Even Business Insider covered Joan River's trip to The Late Show with David Letterman where she described Hathaway's problem as being "I just think she's very, very happy to be Anne Hathaway …."
This phenomenon even has a name like Bennifer? Remember those days? Now there is "Hathahate" as if Anne Hathaway has gone so far as to be wedded to the fact that we hate her. Hilarious. With all this momentum, in the next few weeks we will most likely find out that Hathaway is a Republican, about to have a baby, but hiding the fact that she's used a surrogate, and is somehow in cahoots with Voldemort. Crazier things have happened.
So why do people hate Anne Hathaway? The thing is we all have an Anne Hathaway in our lives. You know the girl: She has perfect teeth, she always has a boyfriend, she sometimes cries about things but looks really pretty while doing it, and even without an Oscar and millions of dollars, she is so easy to hate. When someone is successful and we feel threatened by it, we don't like that feeling and an easy option is to become a hater, but we shouldn't get sucked into that.
To counteract your Hathahate, try this:
1. Count your blessings. Even though your "Anne Hathaway" seems to have everything, you've got a lot going on too. Think about the things you hold most dear. Spending five minutes every morning thinking about what you are grateful for will drastically improve your outlook on life.
2. Set goals. Did your "Anne Hathaway" just achieve something that you've been wanting for a long time? Re-evaluate your goals, give them metrics. Energy spent hating "Anne Hathaway" is energy you're wasting. Don't waste it, use it on yourself!
3. Look in the mirror. Think about someone you hate and look at your face in the mirror. It looks really bad, huh? Now think about something or someone you love, insta-pretty! This illustrates a larger point that hating someone can be really unattractive. So if being vain helps you stop your hating habit, then do it.
4. Serve someone else. Remember all of that extra energy? Serving others is a great way to use it. While serving, you learn new skills, meet new people and take your mind off of negative thoughts. You'll improve in spite of yourself.
5. Realize that it doesn't help you. This is probably the most important step. Imagine that success is like a big pie; this pie is big enough for everyone to have as big of a piece as they want. You can be as successful as you want to be and hating others for their piece of the pie doesn't enlarge your piece nor does it shrink theirs.
Again, we don't need to be concerned with Anne Hathaway, but if by some chance the urge to hate the "Anne Hathaway" in your life has caught hold of your mind, follow the above steps to freedom.

QuickLogic CEO Discusses Q2 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Our Q2 GAAP net loss was $2.1 million or $0.05 per share. Our GAAP results include stock-based compensation charges of $436,000. Please see today's press release for a detailed reconciliation of our GAAP to non-GAAP results.
Now, I'll turn it over to Andy, who will update you on the status of our strategic efforts. Following this, I'll rejoin the call to present our Q3 guidance.
Andy Pease
Thank you for joining us this afternoon. Given the press release issued last week, the first thing you probably want to hear about today is our new design with Pantech. The Vega 5 is a high-end multimedia computing and communications device that Pantech classifies as a Tablet-Phone. This classification is due to the fact that while it is designed to fit in your pocket, it incorporates a 5-inch display.When you look at the specifications, you will see Pantech did not compromise on the design of the Vega 5. The Vega 5 uses a Qualcomm 1.5 gigahertz dual-core Snapdragon processor with 1 gigabyte of DRAM memory. It incorporates an 8 mega pixel rear-facing camera and a 1.3 mega pixel front-facing camera to support video chat. And it supports full high definition 1080p video playback and recording. These features make it an ideal phone for consumers, who are interested in high-resolution multimedia, web browsing and gaming applications. Pantech chose our ArticLink II VX CSSP, which includes VEE and DPO. These technologies significantly improve the consumer viewing experience, including viewing experience while in bright sunlight conditions. And increase the battery life by an impressive 15% during high resolution video chat, video playback, net browsing and gaming use cases. The Vega 5 is clearly a leading-edge design with specifications that would impress even the most critical geek. What impresses me the most is the care that Pantech took to address the subject of human design elements, particularly as it pertained to minimizing weight and optimizing feel.

Television thief charged by Honolulu police
Updated On: Apr 08 2013 03:59:51 PM HST
Honolulu police charged a 23-year-old man with burglary Monday after surveillance video captured him taking a television from a home in the Liliha-Puunui area.
The theft happened last Wednesday at a home on Kauai Street.
In the first video, the man, identified as Corey Faulkner, was seen knocking on the door of the residence. He then removed the louvers and entered the home through a window.
In the second video, Faulkner was seen parking a truck in the carport and walking with the television set.
Faulkner was arrested at a residence in Mililani Friday at 8:25 p.m.
Bail was set at $20,000.
Faulkner made his first court appearance on Monday on a first-degree burglary charge.

Tony also tells us we have it wrong now [thanks, Wiggia]:
"By all means argue about the wisdom of earlier decisions... But it is the decisions now that will matter. The choices are all pretty ugly, it is true ... for three years we have watched Syria descend into the abyss and as it is going down, it is slowly but surely wrapping its cords around us, pulling us down with it ... We have to put aside the differences of the past and act now to save the future."By that, he means military intervention on a formal basis, rather than on the clandestine basis through CIA and equivalent agencies here plus NATO and the UN. Not to mention the new EU army they wish to see given active experience." Nigel says:
"In almost every country in which the West has intervened or even implied support for regime change, the situation has been made worse and not better. "This is true of Libya, Syria and of course Iraq. Tony Blair's state of outright denial of the obvious consequences of his disastrous decision-making on Iraq is making increasingly uncomfortable viewing. "There was no place in Iraq for Al Qaeda or its affiliates under the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. Yet now the country is over-run by Islamists who are also making advances in Syria and the whole region is sliding towards a full-scale Sunni versus Shia conflict. "The lesson is not, as Mr Blair implies, that the West should intervene in Syria, let alone once more in Iraq. The lesson is that the West should declare an end to the era of military intervention abroad."And he's right. It was shortly after the intervention of UN "observers" in Darfur that the situation got ugly. It was after Kissinger was in Rwanda and also in Vietnam that the situation turned to atrocities in unprecedented numbers. Whoever or whatever this global clandestine influencer is, it works on pre-existent tensions in the region, sets up sock-puppet organizations such as Al Qaeda, funds them, arms them and lets them have their head to do whatever they wish. Obama sends a warship? For what? As a presence or to oversee the mayhem from a safe distance, just as Hamilton did on the British warship off Gallipoli, just as the British did in the Crimea, just as Putin is doing off the border of eastern Ukraine. Blair and Them, to whom he sold his soul long ago [pre-1992] want intervention at all costs. Eisenhower put it a different way - the military industrial complex. Woodrow Wilson put it another way, with the Colonel House and Warburg spider on his shoulder. It all came to the same thing. There is an interventionist power - and one need look no further than the UN - and it is malevolent, not for world peace in the least. When it fails, it's put down to incomptence in the chain of command. Further, if you look at both the Monroe Doctrine and LBJ in Vietnam [Kennedy's death as well], as well as Germany in Norway pre-WW2, there is this constant history of senior figures in administrations, under advice from the ones we really should be looking at more closely, the faceless men, following policies of intervention. Follow the story of Roosevelt's clandestine undermining of Monroe well ahead of Pearl Harbour and there's a sordid tale of what western "hawks", "leaders", "Them", whatever you wish to call them, have been up to for a very long time: 1. Clandestine intervention; 2. White-anting by playing groups against one another; 3. Observers going in; 4. "Reluctant" intervention on a small scale; 5. Escalation; 6. Mayhem; 7. Withdrawal of foreign powers after public outcry, not having achieved anything other than stirring up trouble and opening of old wounds. 8. Observe their handiwork from a distance, giving press releases such as Blair has given on Syria/Iraq. Why was Ron Paul, a conservative on almost every other matter, so anti-war, anti-intervention? In fact, it is consistent with American conservatism over a long time in that country. The Americans accepted the clandestine power in Jackson's day with Biddle and the Bank of America - why would they think the evildoers are not still up to their tricks, both internally and overseas? NATO. Kosovo. Why couldn't Putin join? Because they knew the agenda included him. And put all that hawkery together with Agenda 21, frankenseeds to poor countries which did actually have workable agrarian economies to a point, in fact all other foreign intervention combined - and there are the seeds of WW3. Mad talk? Not a bit of it. Policy. The policy of intervention. Why is this a libertarian matter? Self-evident I should have thought. And still, still, many people still vote for LibLabCon over here or RepDem over there. Further: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-

Physics failure
The mean was 6/20. The mode was 5/20, which is equivalent to guessing, since it was multiple choice with four choices per question. Only six people (including myself) got a 12/20, three people got 13/20, and no one got higher then that in a class of 390 people.
So at what point does it shift from the class failing to the professor failing? Because apparently he didn't do the greatest job at teaching us. I'm not incapable of learning physics - I got an A+ in it in high school, and we didn't really learn that much extra stuff in this class.
Thankfully this class is notorious for huge curving, so even though I'm sitting at a 77%, I'll probably end up having a high A. Woo boy. Can't wait for Electricity and Magnetism next semester!
Friend: I guess that's what happens when you don't have any physics, engineering, or chemistry nerds ;)
Me: Har har

Eh, so long as it's a curve, it's not necessarily a fail on anyone's part. I've had several profs (and a high school AP physics teacher) who intentionally wrote tests that nobody would ever get higher than #REALLYSCARYLOWNUMBER on them. Not really sure exactly WHY they do this; might not be a bad idea to ask the prof what their logic is.ReplyDelete
Well we were averaging about 65% on all the midterms, and the Prof was basically asking us why we were all so stupid...so I don't think us scoring stupendously low was his goal =\ReplyDelete

Sounds like a terrible idea to me (the writing the test that way, not the asking about it). If the test is made so that almost everybody scores fantastically poorly, the test has no power to distinguish the average schmoes from those who are really suffering.
Quizzes are experiments to probe the contents of the student's mind. Not that teachers are likely to think of them in those terms. . . and with a not-for-majors class of 390, the whole course probably has an "insert student — stamp — repeat" aspect to it.
Heh, well I made a 9/20 on the test, and that is about what I was expecting (of the 20, I think I only had 10-14 that I was anywhere near sure of). The real problem is that they weren't open to the idea that the class was being mishandled, I made A's and B's in High School physics, and honestly I don't think I learned anything new in this course, if anything it was regurgitation. Meh, it shows me at a 60%ish (as it stands), which is rather concerning but given that the highest possible score on the final (pre curve) was a 200 / 300 gives me some hope that they will adjust this class in some meaningful way. I know there were folks with 4.0 averages stepping into this class that are currently running around with 40%, so my thought is its not an issue of the class being stupid, its just a horrible failure on the part of the physics staff.ReplyDelete
Yeah.. I was in physics classes as a physics MAJOR at Purdue where I scored Cs and Ds on testsand still got Bs in the classes themselves... many professors don't know how to teach, and how you score can come down to some math that you know theoretically but can't do on a dime yet. Most professors are there for research... the teaching is just something they have to do, and if they have to do it, they are not going to spend the time to bring it down to the level of the students.ReplyDelete
As a high school physics teacher now, I find it appalling, but a sad truth that I must prepare my students for.
It could a Kobyashi Maru style test in which no one was really meant to get 100%, but merely to see if anyone could stand out.ReplyDelete
It is common to score poorly in these courses. It's easy to say "Well, that teacher fucked up", but I do not know if that's actually the case. I am not at Purdue, or any university where research is the primary focus, and these sorts of grades are the sorts of grades given in my physics I -- not exactly as low as yours, but the means are regularly in the "F" range.ReplyDelete
Poking around the blogosphere, though, gives me the impression that Physics I is not difficult enough from the teacher's perspective. It does not prepare people physics courses in the future, as a lot of text books focus on conceptual understanding, and gloss over the calculus integral to physics (pun intended).
So, who knows? The subject is intrinsically difficult; it's counter-intuitive, you have to be able to use mathematics as a language and be able to compute some higher level math concepts... problems can become fairly complex. You need to be able to pick out certain phrases in problems that indicate a "Type" of problem, as well as understand that physics isn't just an algorithm to find the right answer in multiple choice questions. I would say that it's difficult to understand, and difficult to teach, so the standard school approach of "Homework, to quiz, to test" just doesn't work as well as in other subjects, so lower grades are kind of the norm (except for that one super-genius... there's always one...)
I think the main problem with this class is that the professor would focus just on the theory, so once we got to the exams (which were all problem based, NO general questions) no one would have any idea how to solve things. The course also didn't have any calculus (since it was for dumb non-physics majors like myself). I personally think that's a blessing since I hate calculus, but maybe things would have been easier to understand if we were shown the actual math.ReplyDelete
Casting back the seven years or so since Physics I at the U of MN, this rings about right.ReplyDelete
The Dean of Physics was an egotistical nut (woe unto the student that had him as a prof) and demanded a standardized set of tests across the different types of physics offered (general physics, bio/med physics, IT physics (the physics physics majors took)) and they were are bastardly hard.
I lucked out in IT physics by having profs that at one time or another served as advisors to students in the IT program, and therefore actually cared. That coupled with copious note-taking (you've filled the notebook to bursting?) led to my survival.
They still used the test and explained that they were looking to produce some vaguely Gaussian distribution. Sounded fishy if you ask me.
I regret to inform you, though, that Physics II is probably more beastly than Physics I. Make sure you know your right from left.

The Cisneros party was a kind of lovely private extravaganza seldom seen in New York anymore. Now, tickets in hand, those who are and those who consider themselves social are left to drown in a sea of charity galas of incredible sameness. The 500 guests — old, medium and many young, all beautifully dressed and bejeweled — danced away the night to the Sammy Goz Orchestra, imported from Paris. But the big hit of the evening were the mariachis who played from the Regent's two soaring balconies as the crowd cheered.
The local ladies who are forever best dressed didn't disappoint, going all out in killer couture, but it was the cast of young people, many from South America, that drew raves. The family emeralds, rubies, sapphires and diamonds sparkled from North American and South American throats, ears, wrists, fingers. No bellybutton jewelry, please. It wasn't that kind of a party.
Next to the stunning bride, Princess Firyal of Jordan was considered best of show. La Firyal, always Paris-clad, outshone herself at the party, and her nonstop necklace didn't hurt either. Other standouts were Nada Kirdar, the wife of the international financier, and Carolina Herrera.
Some of the exuberant "kids" didn't leave until four in the morning disproving the old saying that youth is too good to waste on them.
Pamela Gross, the wife of publisher Jimmy Finkelstein, is jumping for joy — well, not really because that would be sort of awkward — about expecting her first baby next week. She is thrilled to be having a boy and she is still selecting names from baby books. Perri Peltz, Deborah Norville and Carol Mack will give her a baby shower today at Doubles and among those expected bearing gifts are Kimberly Rockefeller and Arriana von Hohenlohe Boardman. Actually, there will be three showers for Pamela in three days given by such as Vera Wang and Katharina Otto for her friends including Pilar Crespi, Joanne de Guardiola, Bettina Zilkha, Serena and Samantha Boardman, Debbie Bancroft, Karen LeFrak, Allison Stern and Prince Dimitri of Yugoslavia, who is one of the baby's godfathers. Dear Pamela should be careful not to get ribbon burns opening all of her presents.

Distutils examples
Basic example
EAPI=4 PYTHON_DEPEND='2:2.6 3:3.2' SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS=1 RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS='2.4 2.5 3.1' inherit base distutils # … RDEPEND="app-portage/flaggie dev-python/lxml" PYTHON_MODNAME=installmask src_prepare() { base_src_prepare distutils_src_prepare }
EAPI=5 PYTHON_COMPAT=( python{2_6,2_7,3_2,3_3} ) inherit distutils-r1 # … RDEPEND="app-portage/flaggie[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] dev-python/lxml[${PYTHON_USEDEP}]"
The PYTHON_DEPEND and RESTRICT_PYTHON_ABIS tandem was replaced with a common PYTHON_COMPAT variable. The variable needs to list explicitly every supported Python implementation. It is used to construct USE flags for the implementations and prepare proper dependency strings.
The SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS variable was replaced with an implication of eclass choice. The python-r1 and distutils-r1 eclasses require the package to support being built for multiple Python implementations.
The PYTHON_MODNAME variable was removed. The modules are compiled during the install phase, therefore the ebuild is perfectly aware of the module naming.
A PYTHON_USEDEP variable has been introduced. It holds a USE dependency string requiring the dependency to have at least the same Python implementations enabled as the ebuild in question. Its use is for packages that inherit the python-r1 or distutils-r1 eclasses.
The default phase functions handle all the common tasks which base.eclass did. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to use it explicitly.
Running tests using py.test
EAPI="4" SUPPORT_PYTHON_ABIS="1" DISTUTILS_SRC_TEST="py.test" inherit distutils # … IUSE="" DEPEND="app-arch/unzip dev-python/setuptools" RDEPEND="" DOCS="CHANGELOG README.txt"
EAPI="5" PYTHON_COMPAT=( python{2_5,2_6,2_7,3_1,3_2,3_3} pypy{1_8,1_9} ) inherit distutils-r1 # … IUSE="test" DEPEND="app-arch/unzip dev-python/setuptools[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] test? ( dev-python/pytest[${PYTHON_USEDEP}] )" RDEPEND="" DOCS=( CHANGELOG README.txt ) python_test() { py.test || die }
The distutils-r1 eclass does not support various Python test suites out-of-the-box. Therefore, it is necessary to add appropriate dependencies and the python_test() phase function.
In order to use the py.test test suite, it is necessary to depend on dev-python/pytest and call py.test to run the tests.
It should be noted that the DOCS variable in distutils-r1 is a list, not a string.

One batch baked gingerbread men cookies
1. Pipe small dots of black frosting onto each gingerbread man for eyes and buttons. Pipe a small staight line of black frosting as the mouth.
2. Carefully place a red sprinkle or mini candy into the button frosting dots; gently push down slightly with a toothpick.
3. Pipe a small amount of white frosting below the black mouth line to create fangs. Use a toothpick to taper the fangs to be thinner at the end farthest away from the mouth line. Set aside to let the frosting harden.
4. Store in an airtight container, carefully stacked. (Check the 'hardness' of the frosting prior to stacking to avoid smudging and smooshing.)

Where to begin. This idea has been on my mind for 3 Years now. So it is about time that i do something about it. Not to say I didn't before but I had negative people around me and I am tired of it. I love my job but I hate it just enough for me to do something about it. That's where this buisness comes into play. so follow me as I go forward in my persuit of my dreams.
I'm Nervous, but the good kind of nervous.

Fall Fashion Preview: The Clothes to Wear Next
Nine new collections hitting stores now, plus a return to simple, luxurious style
By The Fashion Editors
The suits: mostly gray, mostly single-breasted, all lean and classically tailored. The coats: enough twists on trenches, macs, duffles, bombers, peas, and double-breasted overcoats to withstand all the cold and rain that Christopher Bailey's imagination could muster. Like any Brit worth his Burberry checks, the brand's chief creative officer knows from inclement weather, and he's got the rest of us covered come fall.
Double-breasted worsted-wool herringbone coat ($3,595) by Burberry Prorsum; two-button wool suit ($1,495) and cotton shirt ($195) by Burberry London; leather boots ($675) by O'Keeffe.

I posted this over on the OLD board and thought I'd post it here too, to get your perspective/opinion.
I keep going back & forth in my mind about this. I unhid my profile from POF after hiding it for several years. Yes, you read that right. I've only been on there for maybe a week and I've received a lot of hits. Some guys seem nice to talk to. But a huge part of me hates OLD. No, I don't want to be single for the rest of my life. But at the same time, having to log on POF every day to read my messages and reply and browse my matches is exhausting for me and sometimes, I find it dreadful. And I'm not desperate to find a guy. The other half of me enjoys being single. I know there is no clear cut answer. But how do you know if OLD is right for you? Some of my friends have actually met their husbands through match or POF. And that's great for them! And they keep telling me to be patient with it. I just don't know.

Softball: Lady Dragons move into 8-AA championship contest
By staff
JEFFERSON -- The Jefferson softball team advanced to the Region 8-AA championship round on Wednesday courtesy a 6-0 win over Oglethorpe County in Jefferson.
The victory came in Game 3 of a best-of-three series that saw the two teams split contests on Tuesday.
Caitlin Cantrell earned the win in the pitching circle for the Lady Dragons (22-7), allowing just one hit in five innings pitched. Olivia Husted came on to pitch the final two innings, earning the save while holding Oglethorpe hitless over six outs.
Jefferson pulled away with four runs in the bottom of the fourth.
Arynn Baker also provided a solo home run for the Lady Dragons in the sixth as part of a 2-for-3 performance. Husted also went 2-for-4 with a double, while Emily Dufty went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Jefferson will take on Social Circle on Saturday for the Region 8-AA title.

The Best Celebrity Apologies of 2013 (So Far)
From Justin Bieber to Paula Deen to a state representative, a midyear assessment
By Eric Spitznagel
Peter Hansen
Peter Hansen may not be the most famous politician, and he didn't even make the most famous political apology this year. (That would be Carlos Danger, though can you really call that an apology?) But he definitely made one of the most artful, laugh-out-loud apologies in recent memory. The Republican State Representative of Amherst was involved in an e-mail debate with his colleagues about a "stand your ground" gun bill. In response to a floor speech by Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, who had defended retreating rather than resorting to violence, Hansen wrote, "What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT, Germany, and the bowels of Amsterdam? Why children and vagina's [sic] of course." His peers were quick to criticize Hansen, calling his comments "disrespectful and shameful." His defense? Pure poetry. "If you find the noun vagina insulting or in some way offensive then perhaps a better exercise might be for you to re-examine your psyche," Hansen wrote. Wait, it gets better. "If I had to do it all over again, I would use the same words. It's clear there are many people who don't appreciate the nuances of good writing." The nuances of good writing! If Anthony Weiner used that explanation to justify his sexy-time online communiques, he might just get our vote for mayor.
