UPDATE (12/13/13; 9:44 p.m. ET): Lazzaro's death has been ruled accidental – click here for details.
Original story below…
The Army says it is winding down its investigation into the January 30 death of civilian worker George Lazzaro Jr. during underwater maintenance at Aberdeen Proving Ground's so-called "Super Pond."
A spokesperson with the Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center in Fort Rucker, Alabama said on Wednesday that officers at APG, which was established in 1917, will receive the details on the report before it is made available to the public.
Lazzaro was one of three divers who died in two separate incidents at the pond less than four weeks apart.
The U.S. Navy has also launched its own probe int the February 26 deaths of two Navy divers in the Super Pond.
An APG spokesperson says the pond will stay closed until all investigations have been completed.

When your creative juices are flowing, it's pretty easy to put something tasty and healthy together.
But what about those late afternoons when you arrive home from work totally drained? Or, when someone has the flu? Our daily lives don't yield us much margin when things are out of balance. Or so it seems.
Like last night.
My granddaughters spent the evening with us because their dad had a bug. I had to get my income tax information gathered for a meeting with our accountant this morning, so I did have much time to think about dinner.
Everyone wanted soup. This was one of those few times when I was too pinched for time to cook, so I picked up a large can of Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup. (Maybe for me it's a carry-over from the days when my mom would haul a tray of that very same soup, some crackers, and a dish of fruit upstairs to whomever of the six of us might be sick. I put it in the "comfort food" category.)
But 7-year-old Ashleigh was taking this all in as she watched me scramble.
"I'll fix a side dish," she offered.
I watched her as she stood before the open refrigerator, humming to herself as she pulled things from the vegetable tray. She's seen me do that plenty of times, and listened as I babbled about "combining this" and "mixing that." She was ready to try that herself.
It didn't take her long to put something together. The serving wasn't a large one, but everyone got a taste. It was really good!
She proudly ticked off the ingredients as we each savored a few bites: a few spoonfuls of some edamame salad (with chickpeas, red peppers and black beans), a few raisins, some torn leaves of kale and cabbage. She topped it with a little lemon juice mixed with water.
Don't envision a fridge with a healthy stash of these items. She was combining remnants here!
But that's the point.
Eating well doesn't require either a chef or a recipe. It's just a matter of combining foods that are good for you, and when you're working with fresh vegetables, it's not a hard thing to do.
Another note:
If you're used to partnering Ranch Dressing with any vegetable you serve, it's an adjustment to move away from that. But there are lots of lighter, healthier dips and toppings for vegetables that you can have available in your refrigerator and cupboard that will keep that nutrition level higher.
What was most amazing to me about that little supper last night was how good Ashleigh felt about contributing something, because she did it all by herself. And her little vegetable dish helped balance my "not so great" food choice.
Taking the time to show your kids around the kitchen and talking with them about what foods to buy for in the refrigerator can be very empowering for them, and entertaining, too!
Most families are watching their pennies very closely these days, and buying food every day is a part of most everyone's lives. Letting kids be a part of that process can be fun for them, and can teach them important life skills that will always serve them well.
Paula M. Anderson is a local writer who has done presentations on Eating Well throughout the community. She has just published "Eat Well, Be Well," a booklet for forming a healthy relationship with food. Contact her at email@example.com.

The MNCAPA bill introduced in the Minnesota House (H.F. 391) is scheduled to be heard this Thursday (February 27) in the Agriculture Policy Committee. Action taken by the committee will be an important factor in whether the bill can move toward a vote on the floor of the Legislature.
You can help us take action by reading the information on this page, and then following the instructions about how to contact members of the House Agriculture Policy Committee.
A letter is being sent to the House bill's sponsor and members of the committee, expressing our opposition. The letter also was signed by many other Minnesota welfare organizations that, like us, realize that MNCAPA is a bill that may sound good but could have dire consequences for animals.
The bill is constructed from a template provided by a national organization. It is a boilerplate bill that has had virtually no input from Minnesota's animal welfare community, and without discussion, input and recommendations from key stakeholders, MNCAPA cannot truly reflect the needs of Minnesotans, their pets, and the animal welfare organizations that serve them.
As it stands, this bill would have many unintended consequences that would not be in the best interests of the animals or provide proper animal care:
Read more about our position on MNCAPA.
We support ongoing improvements in the professional, compassionate and transparent operation and management of animal shelters and animal control agencies. Without thoughtful input from key stakeholders, this bill does not support such improvements.
Please express your opposition to the bill by contacting members of the House Agriculture Policy Committee and urging them to vote "no" in their committee hearing this Thursday.
Thank you very much for your support and advocacy.

"The way things happen, not the great movements of time but the ordinary things that make us what we are, the savage accidents of our births, the simple lusts that because of whimsy or a challenge to one's pride become transformed into complex tragedies of love, the heartless operations of change, the wild sweetness of other souls that intersect the orbits of our lives, travel along the same course for a while, then angle off into oblivion, leaving no formal shape for us to consider, no easily comprehensible pattern from which we may derive enlightenment…I often wonder why it is when stories are contrived from such materials as these, the storyteller is generally persuaded to perfume the raw stink of life, to replace bloody loss with talk of noble sacrifice, to reduce the grievous to the wistfully sad." from "Barnacle Bill The Spacer," by Lucius Shepard.
"[A]mbiguity is a feature of most of my work and I'm used to writing in that mode. As far as the reader's interpretation goes, I wanted to keep them guessing for a while, but I think that by story's end it's pretty clear what's going on." – Lucius Shepard
I had a dream two nights after I found out that Lucius Shepard had died. In it I owned a huge, modern house with lots of windows and ramps and angles to the roof, surrounded by a perfectly mowed lawn. I sat in a barcalounger and drank fizzy drinks from wine glasses thin as straws and laughed at those passing by on the busy road nearby, desperately trying to get somewhere in their lives. I watched mummers covered in glitter dance on a wall screen and ignored the cries of those outside. Until I looked out the window and saw that they had all stopped their cars and were crowding on my lawn, erecting a great pavilion of leaves and burlap and scalps. They all shaved themselves and painted each other purple and then massed under the great tent they had built to berate me for trying to wall myself off from the world, until the noise shattered all the windows and the house collapsed around me. That was when I woke up.

Come along and bring a friend.
Stressed Out? Depressed? or Just wanting more joy in your life?
Laughter does not need to be dependent on anything. Laughter can occur spontaneously, if you let it happen. Rediscover the art of laughing for no reason.You don't need to have a sense of humour or be in a particular mood for Laughter Yoga to work for you.You don't need any specific ability or skill, just a willingness to laugh. There is no thinking required.
Anyone can laugh. But are you getting enough of it ?
Did you know that children laugh about 200 times a day whilst adults around 12-15?
Laughter Yoga is a complete workout, combining deep-breathing exercises from yoga and laughter exercises to increase the amount of oxygen in your body. It encourages playfulness and rekindles that sense of freedom and childlike attitude to life. It helps you to experience physical, emotional and mental wellbeing wherever you are and whatever your circumstances.
In a typical 45 minute session, you learn to laugh with unconditional laughter that is produced from the body and not from the mind. Have you noticed that when you are laughing, you are not thinking about anything else ? You are totally in the moment, with no notion or thought for the past or the future. How about that for a break ?
What if I don't laugh ?

The late, great Miles Davis often said, "She [Chaka] sings like my horn." And the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin says, "[Chaka] is a one- of- a -kind, premier vocalist."
Throughout her legendary career, Chaka has released 22 albums and racked up ten #1 Billboard magazine charted songs, seven RIAA certified gold singles and ten RIAA certified gold and platinum albums. Chaka's recorded music has produced over 2,000 catalogue song placements. "I am honored and blessed to celebrate 40 years in music and entertainment" says Chaka. "I am so humbled by the love, support and gracious spirit of my fans worldwide and the continuous support my peers have shown over the years. Throughout my 40-year career, I have been through the fire a few times over and I'm still here as a living testament to God's love and grace. Next year, I will be celebrating 40 years in the business and 60 years on earth, which equals one hundred percent Chaka."
Early on, she caught the attention of music icon Stevie Wonder, who penned her first smash hit with Rufus, "Tell Me Something Good." The single from the group's 1974 platinum-selling album, Rags to Rufus, earned Chaka her first GRAMMY® Award. With Chaka as the group's dynamic center, Rufus became one of the most popular acts around selling out shows throughout the country and dominating the airwaves with hit after hit with songs such as "You Got the Love," which Chaka co-wrote, "Once You Get Started," "Sweet Thing," "Everlasting Love," "Do You Love What You Feel?" and "Ain't Nobody," Chaka's second GRAMMY Award-winning song with Rufus. Rufus and Chaka Khan racked up five RIAA certified gold and platinum albums during their time together.
It was inevitable that a singer with Chaka's star power would eventually venture out on her own. In 1978, Chaka blazed onto the music scene as a solo artist with the release of the smash hit "I'm Every Woman" written byAshford & Simpson. Paired with the late producer extraordinaire, Arif Mardin (Aretha Franklin, Bette Midler), her catalog grew even more impressive with hits such as "Clouds," "Papillon," and "What 'Cha Gonna Do For Me?" It was during this time that Chaka began pursuing her love of jazz. She and Arif brilliantly re-worked the classic song "Night in Tunisia" with the song's originator, Dizzy Gillespie, on trumpet. Chaka also recorded an album of jazz standards titled Echoes of an Era, which featured such luminaries as Chick Corea, Stanley Clarke and Lenny White. Her crowning achievement in jazz was the GRAMMY® Award-winning tune, "Be Bop Medley." The song's album, titled Chaka Khan, also won a GRAMMY® for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
However, the song that made Chaka Khan a household name and propelled her to superstardom the world over was "I Feel For You," written and first performed by Prince. This chart-topping, GRAMMY® Award-winning song also made music history. Released in 1984, it was the first R&B song to feature a rap, which was performed by Grandmaster Melle Mel. Chaka also topped the charts with "This Is My Night" and the instant classic, "Through The Fire." Now in top demand, Chaka lent her voice and producer skills to two of the biggest hits of 1986, Steve Winwood's "Higher Love" and Robert Palmer's "Addicted to Love." Both were GRAMMY®-winning songs.

2006 Vision Screening Procedures Announcement
A collaborative review by the Minnesota Departments of Education, Health and Human Services
Printer-Friendly Version (PDF: 45KB/2 pages)
What is vision screening?
Vision screenings are brief, simple procedures used to identify potential eye health problems in infants and children. The screening can help determine which infants and children may need further diagnostic assessment, or an educational evaluation.
The screening process:
- Provides an opportunity for early detection of vision problems that may impair a child's ability to learn.
- Identifies children who may be in need of further evaluation by a vision professional.
- Provides an opportunity for children and their families to access a wide variety of services and early childhood programs for children identified to have vision problems; and
- Promotes and supports parents and teachers understanding of the child's health, visual abilities, and learning capacity.
What is NEW in vision screening in Minnesota? EFFECTIVE - Fall 2006
A state interagency task force, vision screening experts and key stakeholders met in December 2005 to review the proposed MDH 2006 Vision Screening Guidelines in order to assure the quality and effectiveness of, and provide a standard of practice for, the vision screening component of children, birth to age twenty years.
Partners in this process include the Minnesota Departments of Education, Health, and Human Services and representatives from the Sight & Hearing Association, Minnesota chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS), the American Optometric Association (AOA), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American Academy of Family Practice (AAFP). In addition, there were representatives from the School Nurse Organization of Minnesota, Local public health agencies, Child & Teen Checkups, Head Start agencies and schools.
The 2006 Vision Screening Guidelines include new recommendations for screening children, ages newborn to three years old. This is important for programs such as the Minnesota Early Childhood Screening, Child & Teen Checkups (C&TC) and Head Start. Following are highlights of other significant changes to the 2006 Vision Screening Guidelines:
- Modification of the targeted grade levels at which vision screening in schools should occur.
- Decrease in the age for color vision screening from fourth grade to first grade students
- Inclusion of optional stereopsis testing
- Adoption of new vision acuity charts, instruments and corresponding age criteria
- Discontinuation of the Worth 4 dot as an optional screening instrument
- Inclusion of information about new vision screening technology in the 2006 MDH Vision Screening Manual
- Inclusion of the two line difference as part of the 'pass criteria' on the Snellen and Sloan charts
Why is early identification important?
- Early identification of vision problems in children is important to prevent later vision difficulties and to improve children's learning
- Last year in Minnesota, 2,966 possible vision problems were identified through the Early Childhood Screening program. This is an increase from the previous year in which 2,242 possible vision problems were identified in three to five year- old children.
- The new 2006 MDH Vision Guidelines incorporate the most current research about children's vision and are designed to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of Minnesota's screening programs for young children, school age children and adolescents.
Where can I find the list of recommended 2006 vision screening instruments?
The MDH will soon be launching a new website presenting the vision screening recommendations by the Minnesota Department of Health, endorsed and approved by the Minnesota Department of Human Services and the Minnesota Department of Education for the Early Childhood Screening, school age, Head Start and C&TC screenings provided in local school districts, public health agencies and clinics. This website will be available the first week of April, 2006.
The list of recommended vision screening instruments, where to purchase new charts, along with other helpful information about vision screening, including the use of new technology, and upcoming training sessions can be found at: http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/fh/mch/hlth-vis/vision.html
How do I know which vision screening chart is best for my program?
There are many factors that affect the selection of a vision-screening chart. For this reason, a variety of charts for screening are listed in the "Question and Answer" page on the above mentioned website. Selection of an appropriate chart should be based on factors such as program requirements for vision screening, and the age, ethnic, and cultural background experiences of the children to be screened.
Please visit our website, listed above, to obtain additional information regarding upcoming vision screening. Upon request, this information can be made available in alternative formats such Braille and large print.

You are probably already familiar with Nmap and port scanning in general. I won't waste too much of your time walking through the ins and outs of Nmap, but we will take a look at some of the specific ports of interest for SAP applications.
First off, we need to run Nmap. I personally like to check all ports, as you never know what you will find.
$ nmap -vvv -A -oA <output filename> -p 1-65535 <target ip address>
Obviously, your results will vary from assessment to assessment. A full list of the ports used by SAP applications can be found at http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/4e515a43-0e01-0010-2da1-9bcc452c280b?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true.
There are a few special ports that you should look out for.
32XX/tcp - These ports are designated for the SAP GUI. While not immediately useful, we will need this once we start looking at the GUI.
80XX/tcp - These ports are set aside for the web pages for the SAP Message Server. These pages are in cleartext, and some of them accept authentication credentials.
81XX/tcp - Same as the 80XX ports, except these use SSL/TLS.
5XX00/tcp – These ports are utilized by the SAP J2EE Engine. The last 2 digits of the port usually reference the instance number (00-99). Nmap will usually list the version as "gSOAP httpd 2.7". Go ahead and try visiting the target system on that port in your browser. You will likely be prompted to run a java interface for the SAP NetWeaver Management Console. See anything interesting?
5XX08/tcp - These ports are utilized by the SAP J2EE Engine telnet. They allow you to administer the J2EE console remotely.
Depending on the maturity of your client's security program, you may see many other ports open, some related to SAP and some not. The ports I mentioned above limit the scope to SAP. If you happen to notice port 23/tcp or 3389/tcp, and it is in scope for your assessment, fire at will!
Next time, we will discuss Bizploit, a penetration testing framework designed specifically to target SAP systems!

CARSON,Calif. -- Landon Donovan is back in Southern California and set to be evaluated by the LA Galaxy's team physician Dr. Bert Mandelbaum on Wednesday according to head coach Bruce Arena.
Donovan was forced to withdraw from the U.S. national team squad ahead of two World Cup Qualifiers due to an apparent knee injury that the Galaxy captain suffered in last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake.
Following practice on Wednesday, head coach Bruce Arena said that he is optimistic that Donovan's injury is not serious.
ARENA: "I don't believe that it is anything serious and we will see him back again...We're hopeful that it is nothing serious and we're optimistic."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy's digs are a bit nicer these days after the unveiling of the new team's new players' lounge on Monday morning.
What began as an initative to install a functioning sink in the team's players' lounge turned into a complete remodel funded by Galaxy Presenting Partner Herbalife. A video on the unveiling as well my story with thoughts from AEG President Tim Leiweke, Herbalife executives, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and various Galaxy players can be found here.
Below is a series of photos taken from Monday's unveiling of the Herbalife Players' Lounge...

The LA Galaxy Reserve League squad will go for the Western Division Championship this Friday against the Vancouver Whitecaps FC Reserves.
During the club's weekly training update, the Galaxy released that Friday's Reserve League match is set for 10 am PDT and will take place on U.S. Soccer Field #3. In this map, U.S. Soccer Field #3 is the closest field to Avalon Blvd. and to the left of The Home Depot Center's main entrance. LA can clinch the West Division title with a victory or a tie with Vancouver, but a loss will give the title to the San Jose Earthquakes Reserves.
Ahead of the match, Reserve League head coach Curt Onalfo issued a call to arms for Galaxy fans to attend the match.
ONALFO: "It's exciting, we've proven that we've got a deep roster. We've got some exciting young players and it's a great opportunity for the fans to see players that aren't playing regularly to contribute day in and day out to the success that this team has had over this season and last season. It's a great opportunity for them to see future players that will be stars for the Galaxy and play in games that are fun to watch."
Amid the news of LA Galaxy captain Landon Donovan withdrawing from the U.S. National Team squad for this month's World Cup Qualifiers, report by Soccer By Ives' Ives Galarcep revealed that Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez was on the Jurgen Klinsmann's provisional squad as an alternate for the Qualifiers.
Galarcep's tweet is below...
Random USMNT note: Omar Gonzalez was on provisional roster for this camp (He's an alternate). A well-earned spot back on Klinsmann's radar.
— Ives Galarcep (@SoccerByIves) October 9, 2012
The news is a well-deserved for Gonzalez, who has played an integral role in helping to steady the Galaxy's back four since returning to full fitness in July after undergoing offseason knee surgery. Since Gonzalez returned to fitness, the Galaxy have risen up the Western Conference standings, going an impressive 8-3-2 in the 13 competitive matches (12 league games and one CONCACAF Champions League contest) while tallying five shutouts and allowing just 13 goals with Gonzalez on the field. .
What do you think of the news? Feel Gonzalez has earned his way back on the national team? Hope that Klinsmann calls him up for the next set of World Cup qualifiers?
Share your thoughts below.
Landon Donovan will not be participating in the U.S. World Cup qualifiers after all.
U.S. Soccer revealed that Donovan and FC Dallas' midfielder Brek Shea will not be participating in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers after evaluations by the national team's medical staff. The LA Galaxy captain underwent an MRI on Monday according to the Associated Press, but was ruled out on Tuesday afternoon. No replacements were named to the U.S. squad for their World Cup qualifiers against Antigua and Barbuda and Guatemala.
According to the statement issued by U.S. Soccer and a later statement released by the Galaxy, Donovan will return to Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to be evaluated by the club's medical staff. Donovan suffered an apparent knee injury during the latter stages of LA's 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake last Saturday.
What are your thoughts on Donovan being removed? Think that he could participate against San Jose on Oct. 21?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. -- The road to a top three finish got considerably more diffciult for the LA Galaxy, but the club remain confident that they can finish among the Western Conference's top three.
With their 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake and Seattle Sounders FC's 3-0 victory over the Portland Timbers, LA fell into fourth place in the Western Conference. The Galaxy still have two league games remaining against the San Jose Earthquakes on Oct. 21 and against Seattle on Oct. 28, but must win out to remain in contention.
Following the loss to Salt Lake, centerback Omar Gonzalez admitted that the Galaxy are still in the hunt for a top three spot, they must first learn from the mistakes that prevented them from getting three points against RSL.
GONZALEZ: "This game didn't go the way we wanted it, but we're still in the playoffs. I think we certainly want the wins, but now is the time to start get the little things right. Just like tonight we got punished on those plays, next game we can't make those mistake and we've got to be on the entire game. So even though we didn't get the win tonight, I think we can still take a lot from it and grow from it because there's two more games left in the season and then the true test comes. We're not going to win Supporters' Shield so that doesn't matter, now it's all about getting it right for the playoffs."
(On how much the Galaxy are thinking about playoff positioning...)
GONZALEZ: "We certainly don't want the play-in game. I think right now we're just trying to get in second or third and it's looking right now like it's kind of tough to be second so we're fighting for that third spot. I think Seattle plays Salt Lake next so hopefully they can help us out there, but we've just got to win out."
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy confirmed on Monday that they will be releasing their new third jersey next season.
LA had planned to reveal the winner of the fan contest that led to the creation of the uniform during the October 6 match against Real Salt Lake, but were forced to push the announcement back to next season.
A club spokesman provided me with the following statement on Monday afternoon, "The contest winner has been informed of the club's selection, but because of production timeline issues in producing the uniform, we're unable to have a complete uniform to unveil at this time."
Jurgen Klinsmann says that Landon Donovan is ready to play an important role for the United States upcoming World Cup qualifiers.
The Galaxy captain was called into the United States' 24-man squad for a pair of World Cup qualifiers on October 12 against Antigua and Barbuda and on Oct. 16 against Guatemala at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. That Donovan would participate seemed surprising as he was forced to come off in the latter stages of last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake due to an apparent knee injury.
During a conference call with the members of the media, Klinsmann touched upon a few questions regarding Donovan.
(On Donovan's condition...)
KLINSMANN: "We were in touch over the last few days, obviously. He was supposed to do an MRI this morning in LA and he skipped it because it improved a lot during the day. We spoke last night and he said that if [the knee issue] is even better in the morning then he would skip the MRI and come straight to Miami, which is the case."
(On what role Donovan plays with the USMNT...)
KLINSMANN: "Definitely as an attacking player. If he comes wide or if he comes behind two strikers, what we need in these two games is to create chances and we need to score goals. Obviously, we are happy that Landon is part of these two games. He kind of shook off that knee issue that he experienced on Saturday night so he's ready to go. If he plays wide or comes through the middle, as long as we create chances and we score goals then it's all fine with me."
(On Donovan's injury...)
KLINSMANN: "We have been in touch with [the Galaxy] medical team, our trainer Ivan Pierra knows everybody really well so they communicate back and forth. We communicated with Landon Back and forth so first thing, he comes in here this afternoon, we'll check him out, but as he said to us, the reason why he's on the plane [to Miami] is because it looks really good."
Robbie Keane is up for goal of the week honors yet again.
Keane scored a magnificent strike in the 17th minute of LA's 2-1 defeat at the hands of Real Salt Lake last Saturday. The forward will be away on International duty over the next two weeks for a pair of World Cup qualifiers against Germany and Faroe Islands.
The fears of LA Galaxy and United States national team fans can be assuaged, Landon Donovan has been called up to the U.S. national team.
Donovan was selected for Jurgen Klinsmann's squad for a pair of World Cup qualifiers on October 12 against Antigua and Barbuda and on Oct. 16 against Guatemala at LIVESTRONG Sporting Park. The Galaxy captain suffered an apparent knee injury during the latter stages of last Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake, but was deemed fit enough to participate.
The complete roster is below...
GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (8) : Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaelland)
MIDFIELDERS (8) : Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Roma), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (5): Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Alan Gordon (San Jose Earthquakes), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)

These last few days the Android blogosphere has been awash with excited spluttering, dubious rumours and hopeful conflation. Kicking things off was City A.M., a "London-based free daily newspaper that specialises in financial news". According to an article on their website, Google had struck a deal with the popular phone retailer Carphone Warehouse. CPW were to sell Google's next phone, the Nexus Two by any other name. Their position as a reseller of phones and contracts on most if not all networks in the UK and wider Europe makes them a logical choice, right?
The crafty folks over at Droid Dog have just unearthed another secret buried deep in the G2's source code: a Google Voice widget.
They claim that it looks a lot like this:
and displays the amount of money in your Google Voice account, a compose message button, settings for Voice, a button for quick access to your inbox, and a button to turn Voice off.
Droid Dog is also reporting that the G2 will come with "just about every Google app available for Android," right out of the box.
It seems the question of whether Google will be staying in the business of designing flagship Android phones has been definitively answered, and by none other than the man in charge: Google CEO Eric Schmidt. While there has been speculation for some time that a Nexus Two may never happen, Eric Schmidt has effectively confirmed that this is the case…(emphasis ours)

I really appreciated Melissa's fierce post on fashion earlier this week at Shakesville, wherein she pillories the industry for selling shame as much as clothes. She laments long-mothballed bridesmaid dresses and this recent shopping tribulation expedition:
We go to a plus-size store. Immediately upon entering, I feel overwhelmed and anxious. I hate shopping. I hate clothes. The entire process of shopping for clothes brings me perilously close to hating myself. So many of the clothes are cut in ways that don't flatter my body, because they are designed to conceal it. I am reminded at every turn that I am meant to be ashamed of my fat body. We leave. We go to another plus-size store. Everything is too old for me. Iain says, "This is stuff for women twice your age." He's right. My anxiety increases. We leave. We go to another plus-size store. Everything is too young for me. Weirdly, it somehow still all feels the same—and I realize the three stores are all owned by the same company. …
I complain about the cuts of the clothes; I point out how the biggest sizes are the first gone; I grouse that the prints aren't flattering to large bodies; I note the preponderance of empire waists and the lack of diversity in lengths and shapes of clothes, as if fat female bodies are all shaped the same, as if fat women shouldn't even try to make their bodies look good. I'm trying to be analytical, to intellectualize what, precisely, about this experience is anxiety-provoking.
When we get to the car, despite my best efforts, I cry.
Melissa's experiences are especially awful because of the extra shame reserved for fat women. But they illuminate more than just her personal struggles, because her quest for stylish, flattering "fat clothes" reveals the shopping experiences of women of many sizes – writ large. Despite having what you might call slender privilege, I too have cried in anger and shame. I've ranted about my frustration finding pants that fit. My latest foray into the pants department was fueled by a massive adrenaline/endorphin rush in the wake of a nasty medical test, and even so, I barely got past the first rack.
I just do not understand WTF anyone would need "tummy control" on size 2 or 4. And yet I saw just that at Target. Coldwater Creek, where I eventually found some stretchy, flattering jeans, markets the stretch as slenderizing. I do not require slenderizing. I require pants that are fitted enough to wear 'em to work while still letting me breathe free. Big bonus points if they don't give me a massive wedgie or make me look like I'm going as a Sexay Plumber for Halloween.
I've noticed that I'm a tad more neurotic – pinched, if you will – when I'm being squeezed by my clothes. But it's not just the literal squeeze of recalcitrant flesh. It's also the emotional squeeze that says our bodies are always shaped wrong no matter how hard we try. The squeeze is harsher on large women, but scarcely a woman escapes its clutches. Today the HuffPo made a fuss about Katie Holmes wearing a sheer shirt over a black bra …
… as if women didn't routinely bare far more at the beach! I'm down with the bra and shirt, and I think this "article" proves that HuffPo deserves an award for Baseless Titillation. It might be hilarious if it weren't so routine and mind-meltingly stupid.
There is a problem with Holmes' outfit, though. While it likely cost her thousands, it still hasn't stopped putting the squeeze on her. The elastic waist is constricting enough to make even an actress with a presumed personal trainer look, well, lumpy. The ruffles don't help one bit.
To be clear: I'm not criticizing Holmes (except for her religion and choice of husband, 'nuff said). I'm criticizing a fashion industry that manages to relegate even the richest and thinnest women to a fashion lumpy-proletariat. The logic of the system dictates that it will penalize poorer and larger women far more harshly. But no one gets away scot-free, not even the size twos.
So is tummy control – camouflage – ever okay? Well, I'm not much interested in camouflaging my figure flaws. Nor am I eager to dress my little boys in camo before they have any idea about what military service can mean. But yes, there may be a time and a place for camouflage … it just requires us to love our butts and bellies and, well, chill out. Then again, if you've evolved such a zen approach to your body, you're probably already wearing a perfectly fitted, always stylish fur coat …

Chocolate Decadence
From EatingWell.com
Inspired by the (now) old-school, ultra-rich, mousse-like chocolate cake that usually called for a whole pound of chocolate, half a dozen eggs, and lots of butter, here is an enlightened rendition with deep bittersweet chocolate flavor and that dense melt-in-your-mouth texture so characteristic of the genre. No one will guess it's healthier. The secret is excellent natural cocoa powder and good-quality bittersweet chocolate, preferably with 70 percent cacao. Although the cake can be eaten once it's completely cool, it comes out of the pan much easier and even tastes better if it has been chilled at least overnight.

|Conversion chart
- 7 ounce(s) 60-70 percent bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 1/3 cup(s) unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably natural (see Note)
- 2 tablespoon(s) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup(s) sugar, divided
- 1/4 cup(s) sugar, divided
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 cup(s) nonfat or low-fat milk
- 2 large egg yolks, at room temperature (see Tip)
- 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
- 3 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/8 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
- Candied Orange Peel (optional)
- Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch cake pan (1 1/2 to 2 inches deep) with parchment paper and coat the sides of the pan with cooking spray. Put a kettle of water on to boil for Step 6.
- Place chocolate and cocoa powder in a large bowl.
- Combine flour, 2/3 cup sugar, and salt in a small heavy saucepan. Whisk in just enough of the milk to form a smooth paste. Mix in the remaining milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to prevent burning (especially around the sides and bottom edges of the pot), until the mixture begins to bubble. Boil gently, stirring constantly, for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes (the mixture will get very thick and then you may notice that it thins ever so slightly as the starch cooks). Scrape the hot mixture immediately over the chocolate and cocoa. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. The batter will be very thick. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually sprinkle in the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, beating on high speed until the egg whites are stiff but not dry.
- Gently fold about one-fourth of the egg whites into the chocolate batter to lighten it. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain. Scrape the batter into the cake pan, smoothing the top.
- Set the cake pan in a larger baking pan and place on the oven rack. Pour enough boiling water into the baking pan to come a third to halfway up the side of the cake pan. Bake until the surface of the cake is slightly crusted and springs back when gently pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. (The cake will still be quite gooey inside.)
- Meanwhile, to prepare Candied Orange Peel (if using): Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from oranges in 1 1/2- to 2-inch-long pieces. Cut the pieces into very thin strips, about 1/8 inch wide. Cook in a small saucepan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain. Bring more water to a boil and cook the orange peel for another 5 minutes. Drain.
- Bring sugar and 1/4 cup water to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Add the orange peel, cover and simmer for 3 minutes. Transfer the syrup and peel to a bowl. Cover and chill overnight.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the orange peel to paper towels to drain before using.
- Remove the pans from the oven. Transfer the cake pan to a wire rack and cool completely, about 2 hours. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight before serving.
Exchanges: 2 carbohydrate (other), 1 fat Carbohydrate Servings: 2
- To serve: Soak the blade of a thin knife in a cup of very hot water until warm. Slide the knife around the sides of the pan to release the cake. Place a piece of wax paper on top of the cake. Invert a plate over the wax paper and invert the pan onto the plate. Remove the pan and peel away the paper liner. Place a serving plate over the cake and turn the cake right-side up again; remove the wax paper. Dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry before cutting each slice. Serve with Candied Orange Peel, if desired.
Tips & Techniques
Note: Cocoa powder comes in two styles: natural and Dutch-processed. Dutch-processed cocoa has been treated with alkali, or "Dutched," to neutralize the natural acidity of cocoa, while natural has not. For this recipe, we prefer the taste of natural cocoa powder, although either type can be used.
Tips: To bring an egg to room temperature, submerge it (in the shell) in a bowl of lukewarm (not hot) water for 5 minutes. When egg whites are beaten to "soft" peaks, the whites will still be soft enough to curl over when a beater is turned upside down. The whites are considered "stiff" peaks when they remain stiff and upright.

The reform movement has been gaining ground in Iran for years, and it is plausible that if it weren't for American belligerence toward Iran, the reformers would have gained the upper hand years ago. It can be shown that about 100 percent of the time, foreign threats (real or imagined) produce support for the forces of reaction and nationalism within a country. Thus Ahmadinejad, the right-wing, populist, big-government nationalist, is able to harness more support from the old and conservative in Iran every time the United States threatens to bomb them back into the stone age.
The youthful and the liberal (in the classical global sense) on the other hand, loathe Ahmadinejad. Thus, Ahmadinejad is the favorite candidate for the American regime since he can be counted on to make outlandish comments about Jews or do something that makes Iran look like it's brimming with belligerent anti-Semites. In reality, Iran is a deeply divided country politically, and American policy toward that country is only helping to undermine the reformers at every turn.
Now, with the recent demonstrations, the American media is useless for getting actual information on Iran, as we'd expect from an entity that is furiously busy reporting on what Obama's dog ate for breakfast. So I've been following the Twitter activity out of Iran through the hashtags #iranelection, #iranians, and #Iran. Just enter the term with the # into the Twitter search field. This will show you only the Twitter entries that reference the topic.
It difficult to say which entries are legit, which are hoaxes, and which are from meddling governments, but that's life with new media. You simply have to bring a critical eye to the situation.Some of the Flickr photos being posted and other resources are really quite excellent.
I remember a similar phenomenon during the Mumbai massacres when #mumbai on Twitter had by far the most up to date info on the situation there. As time passes, and as we can study the situation in hindsight, it will be interesting to see the medium's impact on events like these.10:57 pm on June 15, 2009 Email Ryan McMaken

I really need to lose weight, right now im about 220 and need to get down to about 180. I'm at 22% body fat so losing this amount of weight is possible. I want to run 4x a week, and have 2 days dedicated to lifting. My lifting days would be divided into upper body and lower body. I don't want to build muscle, just maintain it.
upper body=
dumbell press
bent over rows
bicep curls
shoulder press
lower body=
reverse crunches
I just want to maintain muscle mass as i get down to 170-180. Is this enough?
