Detroit Public School teachers get 3-year contract
Detroit Public Schools' emergency manager has imposed a new 3-year contract for teachers.
The district says the contract includes a 10% reduction in pay from last year.
They will still have the same health and dental benefits but the contract will get rid of sick pay and cashout upon retirement.
Maternity leave will be reduced to 12 weeks.
The president of the teachers' union is not happy with this contract and says the union plans to "ignore it."

While the idea of owning a raccoon might seem fun, you may wish to think twice before trying to domesticate one of these furry friends. On November 4, 2010 two raccoons mauled a baby in a crib, they are dangerous and unpredictable, but that doesn't deter people from trying to domesticate raccoons. So needless to say, proceed to read at your own
It takes thousands of years to actually domesticate a wild animal. And a raccoon is just that-a wild animal. Baby raccoons are adorable, but they do grow up. When they reach maturity their behavior can change from cute and cuddly to vicious and destructive. This is not to say that there have never been raccoons that have made great pets, but they are probably few and far between. And here's another question. What happens to those that do become unmanageable? They are thrown into the wild without any survival skills-only left to die.
Still want to own one of these adorable mammals? Here are some helpful tips:
The first thing you should know is that these animals prefer to be alone. Any ideas of an arranged marriage will most likely end in disaster!
If you want a happy pet then think of your raccoon pet like a dog. A cage will not make for a happy camper in this case. He/she must be able to run loose like a cat or a dog. And because they are destructive in nature you may want to have a separate room for your beloved pet. Raccoons like to dig large holes in beds so they can nest. Since you may not want large holes in your bed, your may want your new addition to have his own room with a bed of his own. If you supply your new pet with a basket full of his own toys, perhaps he won't be prompted to destroy your stuff. If you begin early on then there's a good chance he'll learn to leave your stuff alone and play with his own toys. Your new baby will enjoy stuffed animals and rubber balls, just like any toddler toys you can purchase at your local department store.
Speaking of toddlers-you'll want o toddler proof your home. These little guys are excellent climbers and will get into anything and everything. Install child proof locks on all of your cabinets and place all your valuables safely tucked away.
Now it's time to train your little rascal! Get ready-set- and go! This is going to take much patience on your part. They tend to be hard headed so don't be surprised if this takes some time. The first thing you should know is that a raccoon should never be hit! He will think he's being attacked and probably bite you. You try saying "no", and with some luck he may even listen from time to time. When you see him chewing on something of yours, you can substitute it with one of his chew toys.
Now for some good news! Your raccoon can be potty trained using a litter box. But during mating season they will leave their mark Not to worry-after mating season they will return to using their litter box.
Now for the bad news! These rascals have a bad temper! You'll need to show them whose boss. Just like a toddler who has misbehaved they'll need a time out if they throw a fit. You won't want to let your pet crawl on you like a tree. This may be entertaining when your raccoon is young, but when he reaches maturity a 50 pound raccoon won't feel so great crawling all over you!
A raccoon is pretty easy to care for. All they need is a couple of baths a year. Any more than that will deplete them of necessary body oils. Raccoons love water! You can fill up the tub with water and let them play with in it! You can also purchase a small pool for the summer months! You can also brush or comb your raccoon. Once a year in the spring you'll notice clumps of fur that fall out. He is shedding his winter fur. This is referred to as "cracking". During this time you'll want to keep his fur combed or it will quickly turn into a tangled mess.
Do not feed red meat to your new pet. Raccoons are omnivores. Their diet should consist of fresh veggies, fruits, fish, turkey, and chicken. You can also give him a high protein based dog food if you like. Keep a close eye on his weight. Domesticated raccoons tend to be obese and this could lead to heart failure. When it comes to table manners don't expect your raccoon to be polite. Raccoons tend to be messy eaters!
Make sure he gets plenty of exercise and has a lot of room for running and playing.
In many states it is illegal to own a wild raccoon. So be sure to check your state laws before you decide to domesticate one of these adorable creatures. You may need a permit before adopting! Be sure to take all the necessary legal steps. If you don't then your raccoon can be captured and destroyed.
Rabies is another issue. Rabies isn't as serous as the media has led us to believe, but it can still be a problem. Even if your raccoon has been properly vaccinated, if he bites someone he will be destroyed. There is no way to check to see if he rabies so authorities will put him down. Raccoons can and will bite. It is up to you to be responsible, making sure you have some type of liability insurance.
Make sure you vaccinate your raccoon for distemper. This is airborne, so even if your raccoon is inside he will still need to be vaccinated. Distemper is fatal and not reversible once diagnosed.
Round worm is also an issue with raccoons. It can be transferred to humans and other household pets. Round worm can cause central nervous system damage, blindness, and even death! You can purchase de-wormer from your local vet.
Before you decide to take on thus huge responsibility think long and hard. Owning a raccoon is a way of life! They almost always bite and they can be very vicious. Don't expect an easy time with one of these pets. They are messy and destructive. Perhaps they were never meant to be domesticated. Maybe they should be left alone in the wild. But hey, this is just my opinion! If you want one of these cuddly pets, hats off to you and best of luck!

Trip to Baldwin-Wallace on tap for WC
October 12, 2012
Senior defensive back LaVonte Darby
Different formations, same personnel. That is exactly what the Wilmington College football team is expecting Saturday when they line up to face Baldwin-Wallace Saturday.
"They do a lot of things well," said interim head coach Jay Niswonger. "They have a solid running back (Tyler Lohr) and a quarterback (Ryan O'Rourke) that I like and a receiver (Josiah Holt) that is a really good player. They are solid all the way around."
O'Rourke is 19-6 as a starter for the Yellow Jackets, including 4-1 this season. He enters this week's game ranked third in the OAC averaging 209.8 yards through the air. His nine touchdowns are fourth in the conference. Holt is one of two receivers averaging over 100 yards per game with 100.4.
Defensively, the Yellow Jackets are allowing 21.0 points per game. Junior middle linebacker Michael Stacchiotti leads Baldwin-Wallace, and his ranked seventh in the OAC, with 43 tackles. Senior defensive end Joe Fitch has wrecked havoc on opposing teams' passing attacks as he is second in the OAC with six sacks.
"They are multiple upfront," said Niswonger, "but its more of a 4-3 look with man coverage. If we had more experience, we would be able to do a lot more things with our skill guys."
Niswonger went onto say that the Yellow Jackets will be the team that blitzes the most of any team the Fightin' Quakers have played all season long.
With Wilmington going through a bit of a rebuilding phase, Niswonger acknowledges he is seeing some progress made on both sides of the ball.
"Last week, defensively were doing things really well. We just got out-personneled," said the interim leader. "Offensively, we just don't have consistency. We are going into week six and still are trying to find our way."
Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. Saturday at George Finnie Stadium in Berea, OH.

117 Mr R. D. Blandy, U.K. Resident Commissioner in the New Hebrides, to Sir Harry Luke, U.K. High Commissioner for the Western Pacific
Repeated to Mr R. G. Menzies, Prime Minister
Cablegram 184/unnumbered VILA, 10 September 1940, 11.10 p.m.
Received 11 September 1940
Have discussed the position again with Sautot [1] who is ready to take advantage of S.S. NORDEN and the support of H.M.A.S. ADELAIDE immediately he has been duly appointed by de Gaulle. [2]
He fears however, that unless de Gaulle supporters are cognizant in advance of the plan and have time to make the necessary preparations to ensure success of his disembarkation, his arrival unheralded might give rise to embarrassing circumstances. In any case the Commanding Officer of H.M.A.S. ADELAIDE [3] is not prepared to disembark him unless he is met by a boat sent by de Gaulle supporters as both H.M.A.S. ADELAIDE and S.S. NORDEN will proceed to within close proximity of the port without entering the inner harbour.
Sautot has therefore agreed to an operational plan prepared by the Commanding Officer of H.M.A.S. ADELAIDE which will include necessary co-operation by de Gaullists in disembarkation. To save time the plan has been communicated to Johns[t]on [4] through the Australian Commonwealth Naval Board for action only on further instructions.

How Did Hackers Dupe Apple Again?
Apple's security was once again made a laughing stock as a team of researchers demonstrated how it is possible to sneak apps past Apple's test regime. A group of researchers presenting at Usenix were able to spreading malicious chunks of code through an apparently-innocuous app for activation later.
According to their paper the Georgia Tech team wanted to create code that could be rearranged after it had passed AppStore's tests. The code would look innocuous running in the test environment, be approved and signed, and would later be turned into a malicious app.
They created an app that operated as a Georgia Tech "news" feed but had malicious code was distributed throughout the app as "code gadgets" that were idle until the app received the instruction to rearrange them. After the app passes the App Review and lands on the end user device, the attacker can remotely exploit the planted vulnerabilities and assemble the malicious logic at runtime by chaining the code gadgets together.
The instructions for reassembly of the app arrive through a phone-home after the app is installed.
The app will run inside the iOS sandbox, but can successfully perform many malicious tasks, such as stealthily posting tweets, taking photos, stealing device identity information, sending email and SMS, attacking other apps, and even exploiting kernel vulnerabilities.
Hackers Claims To Have Breached Apple's Online Data
July 5, 2011 by mphillips
Filed under Around The Net
A list of 27 user names and encrypted passwords allegedly for an Apple website was posted to the Internet over this past weekend along with a warning from hacker group Anonymous that the Cupertino-based computer maker could be a target of its attacks.
The list was posted to the Pastebin website, a hosting site for text files, by an unknown user under the title "Not Yet Serious." It wasn't immediately clear if the user is a member of the Anonymous hacking group, but the existence of the file became widely known after Anonymous linked to it in a Twitter message.
"Not being so serious, but well," the message read before linking to the PasteBin page. "Apple could be target, too. But don't worry, we are busy elsewhere," the message said.
The data appears to be a set of user names and encrypted passwords from an SQL database for an online survey at the Apple Business Intelligence website. The site is currently offline.
Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In an apparently unrelated posting, a Lebanese grey-hat hacker called idahc_hacker said he had found vulnerabilities on another Apple website. The SQL injection and iFrame code attacks can be used by hackers to gain unauthorized access to data.
Grey hat hackers do not normally hack for malicious purposes and the Lebanese hacker did not post and data obtained from the site.
In pointing out the hacks, he said he was not part of Anonymous or LulzSec, an allied group that disbanded recently.
Sega Says 1.3M Customers Data Stolen By Hackers
Japanese video game maker Sega Corp said on Sunday that information belonging to 1.3 million customers has been stolen from its database, the latest in a string of global cyber attacks against video game corporations.
Names, birth dates, e-mail addresses and encrypted passwords of users of Sega Pass online network members had been hacked into, Sega said in a statement, though payment data such as credit card numbers was safe. Sega Pass had been shut down.
"We are deeply sorry for causing trouble to our customers. We want to work on strengthening security," said Yoko Nagasawa, a Sega spokeswoman, adding it is unclear when the firm would restart Sega Pass.
The attack against Sega, a division of Sega Sammy Holdings that makes game software such as Sonic the Hedgehog as well as slot machines, follows other recent significant breaches including Citigroup, which said over 360,000 accounts were hit in May, and the International Monetary Fund.
The drama surrounding the recent round of video game breaches paled compared to what PlayStation maker Sony Corp experienced following two high-profile attacks that surfaced in April.
Those breaches led to the theft of account data for more than 100 million customers, making it the largest ever hacking of data outside the financial services industry.
Sega Europe, a division of Sega that runs the Sega Pass network, immediately notified Sega and the network customers after it found out about the breach on Thursday, Nagasawa said.
Lulz Security, a band of hackers that has initiated cyber attacks against other video game firms including Nintendo, has unexpectedly offered to track down and punish the hackers who broke into Sega's database.

Carbon tetrachloride, also known by many other names (the most notable being tetrachloromethane (also recognized by the IUPAC), carbon tet in the cleaning industry, Halon-104 in firefighting and Refrigerant-10 in HVACR), is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula CCl4. It was formerly widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants, and as a cleaning agent. It is a colourless liquid with a "sweet" smell that can be detected at low levels.
History and synthesis[edit]
Carbon tetrachloride was originally synthesized by the French chemist Henri Victor Regnault in 1839 by the reaction of chloroform with chlorine,[1] but now it is mainly produced from methane:
- CH4 + 4 Cl2 → CCl4 + 4 HCl
The production often utilizes by-products of other chlorination reactions, such as from the syntheses of dichloromethane and chloroform. Higher chlorocarbons are also subjected to "chlorinolysis:"
- C2Cl6 + Cl2 → 2 CCl4
Prior to the 1950s, carbon tetrachloride was manufactured by the chlorination of carbon disulfide at 105 to 130 °C:[2]
The production of carbon tetrachloride has steeply declined since the 1980s due to environmental concerns and the decreased demand for CFCs, which were derived from carbon tetrachloride. In 1992, production in the U.S.-Europe-Japan was estimated at 720,000 tonnes.[2]
In the carbon tetrachloride molecule, four chlorine atoms are positioned symmetrically as corners in a tetrahedral configuration joined to a central carbon atom by single covalent bonds. Because of this symmetrical geometry, CCl4 is non-polar. Methane gas has the same structure, making carbon tetrachloride a halomethane. As a solvent, it is well suited to dissolving other non-polar compounds, fats, and oils. It can also dissolve iodine. It is somewhat volatile, giving off vapors with a smell characteristic of other chlorinated solvents, somewhat similar to the tetrachloroethylene smell reminiscent of dry cleaners' shops.
Solid tetrachloromethane has 2 polymorphs: crystalline II below −47.5 °C (225.6 K) and crystalline I above −47.5 °C.[3]
At −47.3 °C it has monoclinic crystal structure with space group C2/c and lattice constants a = 20.3, b = 11.6, c = 19.9 (.10−1 nm), β = 111°.[4] With a specific gravity greater than 1, carbon tetrachloride will be present as a dense nonaqueous phase liquid if sufficient quantities are spilled in the environment.
Historically, carbon tetrachloride was used for a variety of purposes. However, once it became apparent that carbon tetrachloride exposure had severe adverse health effects, such as causing fulminant hepatic necrosis, safer alternatives such as tetrachloroethylene were found for these applications, and its use in these roles declined from about 1940 onward. Carbon tetrachloride persisted as a pesticide to kill insects in stored grain, but in 1970 it was banned in consumer products in the United States.
Prior to the Montreal Protocol, large quantities of carbon tetrachloride were used to produce the chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants R-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) and R-12 (dichlorodifluoromethane). However, these refrigerants play a role in ozone depletion and have been phased out. Carbon tetrachloride is still used to manufacture less destructive refrigerants. Carbon tetrachloride has also been used in the detection of neutrinos.
Current uses[edit]
Carbon tetrachloride is one of the most potent hepatotoxins (toxic to the liver), and is widely used in scientific research to evaluate hepatoprotective agents.[5][6]
Carbon tetrachloride has practically no flammability at lower temperatures. Under high temperatures in air, it forms poisonous phosgene. In organic chemistry, carbon tetrachloride serves as a source of chlorine in the Appel reaction.
Because it has no C-H bonds, carbon tetrachloride does not easily undergo free-radical reactions. Hence, it is a useful solvent for halogenations either by the elemental halogen or by a halogenation reagent such as N-bromosuccinimide (these conditions are known as Wohl-Ziegler Bromination).
It is used as a solvent in synthetic chemistry research, but, because of its adverse health effects, it is no longer commonly used, and in general chemists try to replace it with other solvents.[5] It is sometimes useful as a solvent for infrared spectroscopy, because there are no significant absorption bands > 1600 cm−1. Because carbon tetrachloride does not have any hydrogen atoms, it was historically used in proton NMR spectroscopy. However, carbon tetrachloride is toxic, and its dissolving power is low.[7] Its use has been largely superseded by deuterated solvents. Use of carbon tetrachloride in determination of oil has been replaced by various other solvents, such as tetrachloroethylene.[5]
Historical uses[edit]
In 1910, The Pyrene Manufacturing Company of Delaware filed a patent to use carbon tetrachloride to extinguish fires.[8] The liquid vaporized and extinguished the flames by inhibiting the chemical chain reaction of the combustion process (it was an early 20th-century presupposition that the fire suppression ability of carbon tetrachloride relied on oxygen removal.) In 1911, they patented a small, portable extinguisher that used the chemical.[9] This consisted of a brass bottle with an integrated handpump that was used to expel a jet of liquid toward the fire. As the container was unpressurized, it could be easily refilled after use.[10] Carbon tetrachloride was suitable for liquid and electrical fires and the extinguishers were often carried on aircraft or motor vehicles.
A formerly common form of fire extinguishers consisted of a glass globe, known as a "fire grenades", and were filled with either carbon tetrachloride or salt-water. It was intended that the bulb simply be thrown at the base of the flames.
Carbon tetrachloride was widely used as a dry cleaning solvent, as a refrigerant, and in lava lamps.[11]
One specialty use of carbon tetrachloride was in stamp collecting, to reveal watermarks on postage stamps without damaging them. A small amount of the liquid was placed on the back of a stamp, sitting in a black glass or obsidian tray. The letters or design of the watermark could then be clearly seen.
Exposure to high concentrations of carbon tetrachloride (including vapor) can affect the central nervous system, degenerate the liver[6] and kidneys[12] and may result (after prolonged exposure) in coma and even death.[13] Chronic exposure to carbon tetrachloride can cause liver[14][15] and kidney damage and could result in cancer.[16] See material safety data sheets.[17]
In 2008, a study of common cleaning products found the presence of carbon tetrachloride in "very high concentrations" (up to 101 mg/m3) as a result of manufacturers' mixing of surfactants or soap with sodium hypochlorite (bleach).[18]
Like many other volatile substances, carbon tetrachloride is prone to misuse by inhalation, due to its possible depressant and/or dissociative effect upon the central nervous system. Use of carbon tetrachloride in this manner presents serious health risks, and may result in toxic effects described above.
Carbon tetrachloride is also both ozone-depleting[19] and a greenhouse gas.[20] However, since 1992[21] its atmospheric concentrations have been in decline for the reasons described above (see also the atmospheric time-series figure). CCl4 has an atmospheric lifetime of 85 years.[22]

Aldwyn French Terry Slim Pants 6 6
Very soft casual pant Loved the material but the light colour showed everything.... Would probably like these in a dark colour. They fit very large and were a bit clingy once I ordered the correct size... July 14, 2014
Too short These are well made, but for anyone tall, or even over about 5'5", these will be high water pants. Probably should have returned. Also small in elastic e top as compared with roomy bottom. July 7, 2014
Very comfortable. Great casual pant. Love the fit. Great casual pant. I wanted something light weight that has pockets. These fit the bill perfectly. I wear them walking, running errands or relaxing at home. Definitely recommend them. May 23, 2014
Loose and comfy The pants are not fitted yoga style pants. If that is what you want, then these are not for you. However, what these pants are-- are comfortable in the waist in thigh area that is a close (not tight) fit and they are straight leg at calf so they fit well. I travel in them all the time and it makes for comfortable travel gear. Actually I wear them on my lounging days as well and if I have to run out these are perfect for errand running! April 28, 2014
Love these pants! The fabric is super soft and comfy. I like the ankle length since I am tall and the slim leg makes them fashionably current. Cute enough to wear out and about. I plan on wearing them on my next plane trip, with my Barton Layered Tank and the Allerton Stripe Cardigan. Great outfit! They also wash extremely well, no shrinkage. P.S. Please make these in other colors!!! April 12, 2014
Not worth it I used a coupon to buy these pants, and they still weren't worth it. Fabric is eh, fit is terrible: way, way too big. Not TB quality at all. April 12, 2014

Hey, everyone! I recently reviewed the Pachanga Boys Point of View remix of this track not too long ago, but here I've got the video for the original mix of the track. This track is a bit more relaxed than the remix I recently posted. It has an incredibly laid-back and chill atmosphere to it. Even the video follows this lead and takes it slow. It's full of different lights and flashes contrasting with an overall dark color-scheme, but even with all this commotion, it manages to be somehow relaxing entrance the viewer until the end. At least that's how I felt watching it! What a fantastic song and a fantastic video. Check it out below!

In attempting to deceive everyone into thinking he's some kind of limited government conservative last night, McCain boasted that he's being supported by a gaggle of GOP poltical hacks and hangers on, including lots and lots of former Bush I and Bush II appointees, some of whom were sitting right there in front of him.
And what, pray tell, was conservative about either of these administrations? The first thing Bush I did was to denounce all real conservatives as "uncompassionate" while embracing Ted Kennedyism. His son did the same, increasing domistic spending more than LBJ did, while inviting the lunatic fringe of American politics, the Trotskyite neocons, to dominate his administration.
McCain clearly has no idea whatsoever of what a Goldwater conservative, or a Taft conservative, was or is.10:49 am on January 31, 2008 Email Thomas DiLorenzo

The European Society at Darden is one of the youngest Darden clubs. The club was created in 2003 by engaged European students with the goal to make Darden become the top choice for European applicants to U.S. MBA programs.
In March 2003, Dominique Vincent was elected first president of the club. During his mandate, Pedro Martins and Professor Yiorgos Allayannis launched the European Darden Case Competition, which had great success with more than 300 European undergrad students participating in the inaugural event. Dominique's leadership also introduced Oktoberfest as one of the most attended social events for the year.
The previous leadership teams have continued Dominique's great work. The success of the European Case Competition continued, with visitors from Belgium, Germany, Greece and Denmark coming to Darden in April 2005. The London trip was a success in November 2005 and was planned again for November 2006. This trip has been repeated every year and has successfully placed Darden students in finance and consulting roles. We hope to generate general management and marketing opportunities too. This event will bring together alumni and prospective students too.
Going forward, we hope to increase the membership of the society and encourage more European students to apply to Darden. If you are interested in learning more about ES@D or Darden, please contact any of us!

Knight Blames Trading Fiasco On "Dormant Program" Glitch [Zerohedge]
August 15, 2012 Leave a comment
Remember – when in doubt, always blame it on the software: that way the risk of tainting one's "business model" no matter how irrelevant and anachronistic it has become, may be preserved – after all it is the vacuum tube's fault. If possible add the words "glitch", "dormant" and "stupid algo" and always, always,use the passive voice: once again – it can never be insinuated that a carbon-based lifeform (human, monkey, Mary Schapiro) was behind the screw up. Sure enough, here comes Knight two weeks after nearly destroying its trading platform responsible for 10% of the daily market churn, and to a big extent for the endless levitation to VWAP on low volume we have seen every day for the past 3 years, and blaming it all on "dormant software" which was accidentally reactivated. From Bloomberg: "Knight Capital Group Inc. (KCG)'s $440 million trading loss stemmed from an old set of computer software that was inadvertently reactivated when a new program was installed, according to two people briefed on the matter. Once triggered on Aug. 1, the dormant system started multiplying stock trades by one thousand, according to the people, who spoke anonymously because the firm hasn't commented publicly on what caused the error. Knight's staff looked through eight sets of software before determining what happened, the people said." Of course, one may ask just why did someone put in code in the first place, that multiplied stock trades by one thousand: is that the special turbo buy option reserved for when the Liberty 33 phone rings?

Before the Carter Work Project build begins
Tom Stone, our photojournalist, and I arrived a few days early to meet with the home partners and staff and to capture some pre-event interviews and images. We drove to the build site at Ban [village] Chan Savang―about 10 miles from Vientiane, the Lao capital—in an old Cold-War era car. With doors that barely closed and 38-Celsius-degree air conditioning provided by opening the windows, we cut our way across town and passed through the urban areas, noting where some had prospered since the opening of the Thailand-Lao border in 1994 and where others were still living in very rudimentary conditions.
Upon arriving at the village, we set out to meet with the families that were partnering with the Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project. Guided by Habitat for Humanity Laos and Thailand staff and local partner—the Community Development and Environment Association—we walked through the village in hopes of meeting with as many families as possible to hear about their dreams. As we moved from family to family, we saw the signs of daily village life, and we saw the women and children for whom the Carter Work Project will provide a platform for better family health and household security.
Volunteers feast on Lao delicacies. Photo for Habitat for Humanity by Tom Stone
We were soon joined by Kip Scheidler from Habitat for Humanity International in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Through Saturday and Sunday, we met with key CDEA and local Habitat staff, preparing for the arrival of volunteers on Sunday evening and the opening of the project early the following morning.
A kickoff feast
Sunday concluded with the arrival of the volunteers, staff and partners, who were then taken to a dinner where they were all treated to a traditional Lao feast. Lao staff and volunteers introduced a variety of different foods to the country's visitors. They taught volunteers from as far away as Korea, the United States and Australia how to cook the food themselves on a fiery barbecue and boiler that was set in the middle of their tables. Those daring enough tried some Lao delicacies and for the most part, were pleasantly surprised.
Then again, why be surprised? Considering that Laos sits at the hub of several great culinary nations—Cambodia, China, Thailand and Vietnam—the food was bound to be excellent, which completed the warm welcome to the 2009 Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.

Maybin ready to flourish as Padres center fielder
SAN DIEGO -- Say the name Cameron Maybin and most people think upside, as the former first-round pick of the Detroit Tigers makes managers and scouts salivate with his size, speed and strength.
Yet for the past four seasons, the outfielder has bounced between the minors and majors. This season, the Padres center fielder says that changes.
"I think this year is going to be that year," Maybin said. "Getting an opportunity to play every day, that I haven't had yet, I think this is a great place to do so. I watched guys like (outfielder) Will Venabe get a job and play every day and go through ups and downs. I'm looking forward to doing that. I think when that's all said and done, I think everything will definitely take off for me."
At 6' 3" and 210 pounds, Maybin stands about the same size as Venable and has the speed to match Venable's team-leading 29 stolen bases of a year ago. Maybin stole nine bases last season with the Marlins and had a .234 batting average with nine home runs. But Venable sees those numbers improving dramatically.
"I've been a fan of his since I saw him play in A-ball and I got a chance to play with him as a teammate in the fall league," Venable said. "The only thing that's keeping him from being the player he can be is just the opportunity where he doesn't have to look over his shoulder, and I think he's going to get it here. You are going to see a five-tool player that's pretty special."
The 23-year-old has spent time in and around professional baseball since he was old enough to hold a bat.
He served as a batboy for the single-A team in his hometown of Asheville, North Carolina where he first met his future teammate, first baseman Brad Hawpe.
"He would run around and probably get me hot dogs or something like that," Hawpe said. "It's funny to play with him now. I know he's got a lot of talent. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can get out of him. Obviously he's a young player. He's going to have some tough times, and he's going to have some times to look pretty good, so I'll be there to help him out however I can."
Maybin wears the number 24, in honor of one of his favorite players, Ken Griffey Jr.
Like that kid, this kid wants to make an impact all over the field.
"I just think the combination of being able to change the game in a lot of different ways: defensively, offensively, being on the base passes, just creating a little bit of havoc on the opposing team," Maybin said. "I think I bring a lot of different aspects to this team."Copyright © 2014, Daily Press

It looks weird seeing a dogs hind legs like that. Can the bottom half bend that way?
This is a silly site, and I basically post images that make me smile daily. However, I do NOT own these images, and I provide links back to the original source where the images were from when that information is provided.
There are times when images are sent to me from my readers and do not have links as to where they obtained them from. So, I'm not perfect, but I try.

Mychelle Acne Treatment is an all-natural cleanser that is said to rid you of your acne without any harsh chemicals or side effects. The company makes a total line of skin care products and says that for best results you should use their products in tandem, no surprise there. Mychelle Acne Treatment is said to work so well because of the main ingredient of totaral, which is derived from the Totara Tree. While this is certainly an original claim, there is nothing in the way of proof that this ingredient in particular will help you get rid of your acne. The product comes in a one-ounce bottle and is said to be the right fit for men as well as woman, no matter their race or age.
Totara Tree
Mychelle Acne Treatment claims that it is so successful at getting rid of your acne because of its main ingredient of totaral, which comes from the Totara Tree. The Totara Tree is simply a tree that is found in New Zealand and unless the findings are a secret there is nothing to prove that the tree contains anything that will help you get control of your acne.
All natural?
Though the website for the company claims over and over again that Mychelle Acne Treatment is all-natural and contains no harsh chemicals, there are in fact some not so natural ingredients in the product. The presence of Salicylic Acid and other harsh chemicals is not only unnatural, but they can also irritate your skin if it is sensitive. Since the product is a topical one and is applied directly to your skin you should really look at the ingredients list before you decide whether to buy it or not.
How long can it last?
The product comes in a very small one-ounce bottle. While it is not said directly as to how long you can expect the product to last, you have to figure that it won't last long if you are using it with any degree of regularity. For the price you will pay in obtaining Mychelle Ance Treatment, there are many comparable products available that are not only cheaper, but will also supply you with a greater amount of product.
It's all-natural; it's not all natural, which is it? Too many acne-fighting products on the market today claim to be all-natural because that is what consumers want to hear. Upon inspection of the ingredients you can usually find the truth and it is always better to look first rather than take the word of the company trying to pedal the product. The last thing you want to do is buy a product and use it thinking all the while that it is all-natural and then have your face break out even worse than before because the product really wasn't all-natural and contained harsh chemicals that you were not expecting. Now business is business and every company wants to sell their products, but when it comes down to misleading the consumer, like Mychelle Acne Treatment does, an automatic pass should be put into effect and an alternative should be sought.

(Yes, Jason, you can use me as a Case Study =P )
Normally, I never write posts telling you about how great a single company is, but, in this case, I feel it is absolutely necessary. Every presentation I give now, I quickly upload to DocStoc before I go up and tweet out the URL. (They also have a ridiculous amount of legal forms and business plans on the site as resources, just an FYI). The reason for this is easy access for the crowd and in case of technical glitches.
First and foremost, I do it so that those that are looking to feverishly write down slide notes or anything of that nature, don't have to worry about it. Anything that is in the slide you can quickly and easily get to right away. This gives everyone the opportunity to really pay attention to the presentation and speaker (in this case me, and we all know I want all eyes on me!). As I mention also, I tweet the URL out, so it is easy to get to.
Now, in regards to technical issues. I never thought this would happen because I am a know-it-all geek (hint: sarcasm). But, guess what, shit happens and it happened yesterday. (Side Note: I must say Beverly Macy and Rodney Rumford both did a good job of engaging the crowd during this until we could figure out a solution). As I went up to speak yesterday at Gravity Summit, my presentation was loaded completely funky and almost half of it was missing. This includes all the cool and fun animations that I put together that helped frame the stories I was trying to tell. But, no matter what we tried, it didn't work and I had to think of a solution fast. I knew I had it up on DocStoc and figured we could just run with that. Now, the animations didn't work because it was hosted on their site, but, still, after experiencing the technical issues that I did, this was AMAZING.
Yesterday, DocStoc truly came to the rescue in that it gave me an opportunity to present slides that I thought I was not going to be able to get to because of a technical glitch. I still have no idea what the issue was, or, how it arose for that matter. But, at the end of the day, being able to show the visual cues that I needed to was the most important thing possible at the time and DocStoc gave me the opportunity to do that.
For those interested, you can find my presentation on Social Media and SEO on DocStoc or find me, Tony Adam, on there as well.

SACRAMENTO (KCRA) - A 7-year-old girl kidnapped in Sacramento, California managed to escape from her abductor's trunk, police said Monday.
The girl was walking with her mother and another sibling Saturday when a man pulled up alongside the trio in a vehicle and grabbed the child.
The man put the girl in the trunk of his four-door sedan, but she was able to escape by jumping out as the man drove away, according to police.
A nearby resident called 911 after hearing the girl's mother react to what had just happened.
"I heard the woman screaming," witness Eric Erickson said. "I mean she was -- it was a blood-curdling scream, at the top of her lungs."
Erickson jumped out of his living room as soon as he heard the yelling coming from across the street.
The kidnapper sped down 47th Avenue with the girl in the trunk, but only got about one-fifth of a mile before the girl made her miraculous escape.
"And she ran right to my husband and she says, 'he stole me, he stole me,'" witness Christina Covey said. "She told me she was hitting the trunk. Because he put her in, grabbed her, threw her in the trunk -- but he didn't close it all the way, because her leg was there. And he was nervous, so he just didn't close it. And he sped down here, so she opened the trunk."
Covey delivered the little girl back into her mother's arms.

Sydney: Jan 5, 2013
Australia reached 242 for six at the end of Day Two of the third Test at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) in Sydney on Friday.
The home side, with the series already clinched after wins in Hobart and Melbourne, edged on Friday to a 48-run lead over the tourists.
But it proved tough going and the Australians failed to get away to a bigger lead after a run-a-minute start.
At the close, Australia were 342 for six with Matthew Wade on 47 and Peter Siddle not out on16.
Wade lived dangerously late in the day, surviving two reviews and a dropped catch close in while on 22.
Australia self-destructed with two run outs while David Warner, Phil Hughes and Michael Clarke threw away their wickets with false strokes.
Brief Scores: Sri Lanka 294 (Lahiru Thirimanne 91, Mahela Jayawardene 72; Jackson Bird 4 for 41, Mitchell Starc 3 for 71) trail Australia 342 for 6 (Phil Hughes 87, David Warner 85, Matthew Wade 47*, Michael Clarke 50; Rangana Herath 2 for 69) by 48 runs.

Title: Too heavy for helium
Date: Jun 19, 2014
I was very disappointed after paying $10 each for 5 total of this type of balloon (2 black/3 brown) and then paying $27 to expedite shipping only to have them blown up at a reputable party supply store and to be told they were too heavy to actually float. So we had about $80 worth of limp horse balloons. I won't order these again.

We loved it! This balloon is just as described. We went with the pink cowgirl theme for my daughter's pony party but she wanted more horses and ponies and less cowgirl stuff so this really helped with that.

7 Things You Didnt Know About Pumpkins
They look great on a doorstep and taste great in a pie, but thats not their only claim to fame. Find out our most interesting pumpkin facts!
By Laura Ratliff
Jack-O-Lanterns werent always pumpkins.
Even though pumpkin carving is an iconic American tradition, turnips, potatoes, or beets were the original Jack-O-Lanterns. When immigrants from Ireland, England, and Scotland arrived in North America, they began using pumpkins instead. Native to the Americas, not only were pumpkins much larger, making it easier to carve, they were also readily available. Can you imagine a carved beet?

Nose breath-controlled cyborg camera mask is wicked to the core
For his wife's art opening/masquerade party, Ryan Sturmer didn't want to get a paper Phantom of the Opera mask. Instead, he made his own functional cyborg mask, complete with a scary Terminator-esque glowing red LED for an eye. Did we mention that the eyepiece is nose breath-controlled?
According to Sturmer, the mask's retractable camera eye is controlled by your nose breath. A thermistor attached on the side of the mask detects changes in temperature based on breathing patterns, treating it as a signal to trigger the camera eye. How strange, yet cool is that?
The only downside is you can't look through the camera eyepiece. Bummer, we were hoping for a tiny embedded LCD inside too.
Nonetheless, Sturmer's cyborg mask has DVICE's DIY stamp of approval. Sturmer, now just add a laser beam to the LED eye and then you'll really be the the talk of your town come Halloween.
