The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

By Philip Pullella
ROME, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Italy's Senate was set to vote on Friday for
austerity measures demanded by the European Union to avert a euro zone
meltdown, while a new emergency government is expected within days, ending
the Berlusconi era.
The upper house is due to begin debating the package at 0930 GMT with an
outcome expected later in the day. Having been approved by the upper house
budget committee on Thursday, the law is seen being passed easily.
Voting for the first time in the upper house will be Mario Monti, the
former European Commissioner who has emerged as favourite to replace Prime
Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
Paving the way for Monti's appointment, President Giorgio Napolitano made
him a life senator on Wednesday in a surprise move that raised his already
high profile and instantly made him a legislator.
Berlusconi, who lost his majority in a vote on Tuesday, has promised to
resign after the financial stability law is passed by both houses of
The law is due to be approved by the lower house Chamber of Deputies on
Saturday. That would mean Napolitano may accept Berlusconi's resignation
as early as Saturday night and formally mandate Monti to try to form a new
government soon afterwards.
Napolitano has urged parliament to act fast and some commentators say a
new government made up mostly of technocrats could be in place as early as
Sunday night before markets open on Monday.
The president moved quickly to calm markets on Wednesday after Italy's
borrowing costs reached levels that could close its access to market
funding, a development which would threaten the future of the euro zone.
He gave assurances that Berlusconi would honour his pledge to step down
after parliament approved reforms geared to placate markets and he would
waste no time in either appointing a new government or calling new
At first, Berlusconi had insisted that early elections were the only
option. But he has since softened his stand and is said by sources to be
open to a new government.
Monti, a highly respected international figure, has been pushed by markets
for weeks as the most suitable figure to lead a national unity government
to urgently push through painful austerity measures.
Napolitano met Monti on Thursday night, and, in a sign of the urgency of
the situation, spoke by telephone with U.S. President Barack Obama.
In one badly needed success that calmed markets somewhat, Italy managed to
sell 5 billion euros ($6.8 billion) of one-year bonds on Thursday, but had
to pay a whopping 6.087 percent interest rate, the highest in 14 years.
It was not clear how much of Berlusconi's PDL, which has undergone many
defections and splits in the past few days, would support the new
government, expected to include respected experts as well as a few
It will be supported by most centrists and the biggest opposition force,
the Democratic Party.
Berlusconi's chief coalition partner, the Northern League, has said it
would not back Monti.
Monti, who is currently head of Milan's prestigious Bocconi university, is
a tough negotiator with a record of taking on powerful corporate interests
as European Competition Commissioner. (Editing by Louise Ireland and Neil

Call it a case of good intentions: While the idea of supporting vets by adding them to your employee pool sounds great, it doesn't always come to fruition. Whether it's more qualified applicants, scheduling issues, or simply a poor fit, while you might hope to hire a veteran, it's sometimes hard to follow through. Still, if you're dedicated to making sure vets have a place in your company, there are ways to increase the chances of adding the right people to your team and hiring veterans.
Hiring Roadblocks
One of the issues facing companies hoping to hire vets is simply that of a rapidly moving job market and veteran job-seeking knowledge. Veterans are not aware of the opportunities that are in the marketplace. The jobs in the IT industry move fast; by the time a job is posted and searched for, it could be filled by someone relatively quickly due to a high demand of IT professionals.
Some vets have also been out of the job market for a long period of time. That can translate to a lack of updated resumes or knowledge of the best ways to seek and apply for jobs across the board. Therefore, it's not a matter of companies being specifically unwilling to hire a veteran, but that other qualified candidates snag the job beforehand.
Vet Benefits
Unlike any other subset of the job market, vets are uniquely qualified and primed for quality work. Think about it: They're highly trained, have unsurpassed work ethic, understand how to lead and love a challenge. The result is a motivated employee who becomes an invaluable part of your team from day one. Vets are primed for "missions." Instead of punching a time clock, they're used to sticking around until the mission (task) is finished.
What's more, employers who hire veterans may also qualify for tax credits — some in the neighborhood of anywhere from $1,500.00 to $8,000.00 per hire. Not only does hiring a vet make strategical sense, but it could have an impact on your bottom line as well.
Making an Effort
Employers ready to make more of an effort in hiring vets have no shortage of resources available to them — and vets can take advantage of the same organizations and websites. Take Hero2Hired, a virtual job board that allows employers to post jobs specifically for vets seeking employment. The Wounded Warrior Project provides support and job placement opportunities to vets injured in the line of duty. Of course, there are also state programs available — check your state administrative website for initiatives and incentives for hiring vets.
Hiring a vet makes good business sense, but posting ads might not be enough. By understanding the benefits hiring vets offers for an organization, it's easier to find the right channels to make those connections. Thinking beyond the job board may be the key to hiring a well-qualified and highly motivated veteran.

You've just completed a job interview and you walk out of the office thinking, "Nailed it!"
So what happens next when you're working with a recruiter?
In the past, applicants were advised to simply sit back and wait for a phone call from the hoped-for employer. These days, there are several proactive steps you can take to remain "top of mind" with the hiring manager, which is precisely where you want to be.
The key point to remember is that all post-interview activities should go through your IT recruiter — not the person who interviewed you. Why? Because your recruiter is in the best position to know the most appropriate methods of staying in touch.
During the Interview
The best first step should actually take place during the interview. As the conversation is nearing the end, inquire politely what will happen next. The interviewer can give you some idea of the time line involved (interviewing other job candidates, meeting to decide on finalists, etc.), which should help lessen the suspense involved in waiting.
Send a Thank-You Note ASAP Through Your Recruiter
It's surprising how many job candidates neglect to follow up after an interview with a short and sincere thank-you note. There's no better way to indicate your interest in the open position and to build on the favorable impression you made during the interview itself.
What should go into this thank-you message? Here are a few suggestions, depending on your particular situation:
The most important elements in a thank-you note are promptness (don't wait longer than a day to send your message) and a positive tone. You're mainly trying to keep the favorable feeling of the interview alive in the days that follow.
Once your thank-you note is composed (and you've proofed it several times to ensure there are no typos or misspellings), send it to your recruiter. This person can tell you if the message has the right tone and content. If so, he or she will be happy to pass it along.
Should You Follow Up With a Phone Call?
In most cases, a follow-up phone call to the hiring manager isn't a good idea. First of all, the hiring manager is swamped with resumes, interview appointments, etc., and likely won't have the time to chat. A better option is to follow-up with a phone call to your recruiter instead.
Is it possible that stopping by the would-be employer's office in person might tip the odds in your favor? In the vast majority of cases, the answer is no. Hiring managers are extremely busy and probably won't welcome a surprise visit.
When You Get the Verdict
Hopefully, you've done everything right during the interview and in the days afterwards. The recruiter calls with the happy news that you've been offered the open position.
But it's a good idea to be prepared for the alternative situation. If the news is bad, keep your cool. Ask your recruiter to thank the interviewer for the opportunity to apply. Ask if the hiring manager can share any feedback about your interview performance with the recruiter. Also ask if it's acceptable to stay in touch with the hiring manager (through your recruiter). If so, plan to occasionally send news of any changes in your job status, an article related to the industry you work in or a request to join the hiring manager's LinkedIn network.

When it comes to full-time employment, "contract" can be somewhat of a four-letter word. A negative connotation often follows the inclusion of a contract exception on a job posting, which can make it less enticing to the right candidates. But contract employment opportunities have come a long way, especially in an increasingly flexible workforce. While employers may still have to sweeten the deal, contract employees can enjoy specific benefits if willing to sign on for something other than a traditional full-time position.
Overcoming Objections
Contract work isn't for everyone, but you might be missing excellent opportunities if you turn a blind eye. The most common objection to contract work is that employees may feel that, with the job being temporary in nature, it's less stable. Another reason is lack of the full complement of benefits. Hudson makes it clear that we offer health insurance, but the lack of time off (holiday, sick, vacation pay) in contract positions could turn some people off.
Employers hoping to hire contract employees may need to brainstorm benefits to entice professionals to shift focus away from traditional, salaried and full-time positions, while pros should consider the advantages to a contractual agreement.
Contract Benefits
While it's true that you may miss out on the same benefits extended to full-time employees, don't skip over a contract job during your search. In fact, contract work can have an advantage over a more traditional opinion. Since the full benefits package is not included, the average contract position pays 25-30% more than the same job would pay a salaried employee. Also, as an hourly employee, the contractor is paid for all the hours they work, and in some cases (depending on the type of job, and the state in which they work) they can make time and a half for any hours worked over 40. So it can be quite lucrative. While you may not be considered a salaried employee, you could stand to make a significant amount more and have the option to choose your own benefits when buying as an individual.
Sweetening the Deal
It's up to employers to make a contract deal sweet enough to make it enticing for IT professionals and hopefully, eventual contract employees. As a job seeker, ask about the potential length of a project or contract — this can help ease your concerns about a short-term position. You can also do your own networking: See what other contract workers say about the office environment and what its attitude is toward contract employees. Of course, employers should make sure their reputation for accepting and working with contracts is impeccable.
While it may not be the ideal situation for everyone, don't make the mistake of completely skipping over contract opportunities. If the employer is willing to sweeten the pot and compensate for the lack of a salaried role, you could end up with the perfect position.

Thanks to the competitive nature of IT jobs, it's not uncommon to get sucked into the "black hole" of IT applications. You know the drill: You send off a cover letter and resume, never to hear from the company again. By teaming up with an IT staffing firm, you increase the chances of getting noticed and eventually scoring the job. IT staffing firms often work directly with hiring managers to get details of the actual job needs. A firm often has access and insight to ensure the candidate's resume and profile gets in front of the right person.
If it's your first time working with an IT staffing firm, you might not know what to expect. Luckily, with a little prep work — and some general etiquette rules — you can make the experience more efficient and profitable.
IT Staffing Firm Do's:
IT Staffing Firm Don'ts:
Best Practices
A lot of candidates have had bad experiences with agencies mainly related to lack of communication. If you've been burned in the past, you can pinpoint the right recruiter by asking plenty of questions. The best recruiters are more interested in the long-term relationship between you, the firm and the client, rather than quickly putting you in an ill-matched job. By coming prepared with questions and making sure you're ready for a new opportunity, you'll get more out of working with IT staffing firms — and hopefully, the job you want.

In today's recruiting word, the demand for quality talent far outweighs the available talent pool. This causes intense competition, as all the top companies vie for the same qualified candidates. In this case, recruiters often find themselves as salesmen. What makes this position better than all the other opportunities out there? Here are some tips on recruiting the best IT candidates:
Understand the Candidate's Motivators
In a candidate conversation, you need to understand what the candidate wants and what would prompt him to make a change. Different factors are important to different job seekers. For example, those that prefer permanent or full-time positions may be most interested in the benefits package, training & education opportunities within the organization or what kind of career growth a job offers. Others may care more about work environment/work-life balance, a team-oriented workplace, or just the lure of a larger, more stable organization. Of course, salary and compensation packages (such as a 401K, bonuses and flexible spending) are almost always a motivating factor.
For contract positions, the motivations might be different. These may include hourly rate and duration or of the contract or benefits the consulting agency offers. Others are more intrigued by the kind of work the position offers and the technologies and skills that they could add to their repertoire.
Once you have an understanding of the candidate's motivators, you can begin focus on those points during the conversation to make the opportunity more appealing and you will be in a better position to sell the role to the candidate.
Access Assess the Candidate's Interest
After you present the opportunity spotlighting the main motivators for the candidate, you can begin to assess their level of interest. Ask them straight: "So, how do you feel so far, based on the information we presented to you?" You should might get a positive interest response, especially if you targeted the position based on their motivating factors. If you find that their response is lukewarm, this should prompt further questioning to determine other potential motivating factors (or a possible change in their criteria). Ask questions such as, "What other factors are important for you in a new position?" or "What are the plus and minus positive and negative points per your search criteria that you see in the position I just presented to you?" What they don't like about a position is a significant factor – it's an opportunity to either retool your search or present selling points that might overcome their objection. This is where the "Selling" part of the job opportunity comes in and you have to make sure you have all of the information and tools you need – from the job description and skills, to the benefits, perks and any other factors – to effectively "sell" the job opportunity to the candidate. Let Encourage them tell you to share how they're feeling and go from there.
Use a Gentle Professional but Firm Approach
Approaching the conversations with a gentle, honest but firm hand presents a professional front. It's important to keep in mind that you may cross paths with these candidates again and building a professional & trustworthy relationship will open doors to networking opportunities and will help you differentiate yourself from the competition. It's important to be judicious and mindful with your time spent on conversations with candidates – especially those who are passive and are not really looking for a new position - although these candidates might definitely be tapped at a later date if their situation changes and could be a good investment of time. Occasionally a hard sell might work in these situations, but you should evaluate these on a case-by-case basis.
In today's recruiting world, the ability to sell an opportunity to a candidate is an extremely important skill for any recruiter, especially with candidates getting more savvy about picking between their multiple options. Show the candidate why the position is unlike any other – and blow them away with your understanding of their key motivators. Do these things properly and you'll consistently be recruiting the top IT candidates.

- Re: Over 35 and anxious
I'm 38 and had a miscarriage in June. So techically this is my 2nd pregnancy. I'm now at 12 weeks, 3 days and I feel a little less stressed about a possible miscarriage, but I'm really anxious about the increased odds of chromosonal disorders for women over 35. I had the testing done last week, but I don't know when the results will be in (the lab tech said one week and the Dr. said 2). I've read all the statistics over and over, but I can't stop worrying. Is there anyone else here over 35?
I am currently 35, but will be 36 before the baby comes. I too am pretty anxious. I'm at 12 weeks today and I'm going in for my second Ultrasound. I opted not to have the genetic test done. I figure no matter what is wrong with the baby there isn't much I can do about it, and I'm going to love her/him with all my heart.
I do understand though the torture you must be going through with the wait! I wake up everyday and I'm thankful that everything seems AOK and another day bit the dust.
The best unsolicited advice I can give, is just take it day by day, stay away from Evil Dr. Google. Listen to your body and DON'T STRESS (at least don't stress if you can help it)
I really don't have any local friends that I can speak with about my thoughts or fears (as most of them have already had their children and are getting ready to push them out the door) So I am always looking for someone who is in a similar situation as myself to connect with. If you would like I can give you my contact information for communication.
I'm 35 and will be 36 in June! I just found out I was preg 2 1/2 weeks ago. I did not know about this? I already have alot to worry about because my bby was exsposed to several medications that can cause birth defects and premature birth from not knowing I was preg. This just made my worries worse! I also just miscarried in Oct, and got preg again in that same month. I'm having to go through all of this alone the father is 10yrs younger than me, he has a 2yr old son he loves but can't provide for but spends as much time with him as the mom allows. But my bbys dad just don't act like he cares about this bby? He just checked out on me totally... I have no other help or support so was looking to find other mommy's to be my age and single that are maybe local to talk to maybe even get together with just not sure where to look? What's meant to be, will be! Worrying is pointless.
Thanks for the reply. The tests results came back and everything looks great. I'm a worrier by nature, but that certainly helps me bring it down a notch or two I hope everything continues to go well for you. I am just over 15 weeks now and have my next check up tomorrow.
How are you sleeping? That seems to be my biggest issue at the moment. I just can't get comfortable even with a body pillow.
Thanks for your reply and I'm sorry you feel alone. Babies are resilient so I wouldn't worry too much about the medications, etc. that the baby was exposed to early on Just take care of yourself and like you told me, worrying is poinless

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

* Three soldiers, 11 militants killed in clashes in south, capital
* Country heading towards Feb presidential election
* Fears of violence undermining transition plan (Adds Karman interview)
By Mohammed Ghobari and Gwladys Fouche
SANAA/OSLO, Dec 10 (Reuters) - Fighting overshadowed the first meeting on
Saturday of Yemen's new unity government, which is trying to avert civil
war after a deal brokered by the country's Gulf neighbours for President
Ali Abdullah Saleh to step down.
A Yemeni activist, accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, said the
conscience of the world should be haunted by its failure to help Yemen's
democratic uprising, and warned that Saleh would choose war rather than
fulfill his pledge to quit.
Clashes in the southern province of Abyan killed 11 militants and two
soldiers, and in the capital Sanaa a soldier was killed in overnight
fighting between supporters and opponents of Saleh, officials said.
State news agency Saba said Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, to whom
Saleh transferred power under the deal to ease him from office, chaired
the meeting of the newly sworn-in cabinet, which includes members of the
The government faces a host of challenges including sporadic fighting with
anti-Saleh tribesmen, a southern separatist movement, a Shi'ite Muslim
rebellion in the north and the threat from a regional wing of al Qaeda
that has exploited upheaval to strengthen its foothold in the poor Arabian
Peninsula country.
If Saleh fulfills his pledge to leave, he will be the next Arab leader
swept from power by the wave of protests across the Middle East and North
Africa that has already brought down authoritarian rulers of Tunisia,
Egypt and Libya this year. Syria's Bashar al-Assad is also battling an
Tawakul Karman, a 32-year-old Yemeni journalist who shared the Nobel Peace
Prize with two Liberians, said that despite the president's promise, Saleh
"will not leave".
"He wants to (push) the country into civil war," she told Reuters in an
interview after accepting her share of the $1.5 million annual award,
previously won by historic figures like Martin Luther King and Nelson
Her award was the Nobel Prize committee's response to what its head,
Thorbjoern Jagland, called "the wind that is now blowing in the Arab
world". "No dictator can in the long run find shelter from this wind of
history," Jagland said.
During her acceptance speech, Karman rebuked the international community
for failing to halt violent crackdowns, both in her homeland and in Syria.
"This should haunt the world's conscience, because it challenges the very
idea of fairness and justice," she said. "The democratic world, which has
told us a lot about the virtues of democracy and good governance, should
not be indifferent to what is happening in Yemen and Syria."
In an apparent criticism of the power sharing deal, which would grant
Saleh immunity from prosecution if he stands down, Karman said: "These
(Arab leaders) should be brought to justice before the International
Criminal Court; there should be no immunity for killers who rob the food
of the people."
Leading the meeting of the new cabinet, the vice president called on
ministers to help restore stability after 10 months of protests against
Saleh's 33-year rule.
"Everyone in Yemen expects you to focus on the main tasks of this
government and steer clear of issues which give rise to discord," Saba
quoted Hadi as telling the new cabinet. Hadi also headed the first meeting
of a committee of officials and senior officers overseeing the military
under the transition plan.
Under the agreement, Saleh's General People's Congress and opposition
parties have divided up cabinet posts with the aim of steering Yemen
towards a presidential election in February.
In clashes between government troops and al Qaeda-linked militants, 11
Islamists and two soldiers were killed on Saturday east of the city of
Zinjibar, a military official told Reuters. On Friday, a soldier was
killed in fighting between government forces and opponents of Saleh in
Sanaa, the Defence Ministry said.
The violence near government buildings and the compound of Sadeq al-Ahmar,
a foe of Saleh who commands significant forces, was the latest challenge
to the transition plan.
The Defence Ministry on its website accused Ahmar tribesmen of attacking
the northern neighbourhood of Hasaba with the aim of "derailing efforts
towards establishing security and stability in the capital and other
The opposition said troops from the Republican Guard, headed by a son of
Saleh, broke a truce and fired artillery at northern parts of the capital
on Saturday, wounding at least one person.
Saleh's troops and opposition gunmen have begun withdrawing from the
streets of the city of Taiz, where days of battles that killed dozens of
people had threatened to wreck the power transition deal. A committee set
up to restore normality to Taiz cleared roadblocks set up by both sides
and oversaw their withdrawal from occupied buildings, an official said.

The biggest adjustment will come at the headmaster position, where Dave Granville is set to take over the leading role.
Headmaster Robert Foust, who has been in charge for 11 years, will act as headmaster emeritus and remain at the school to help Granville during the transition period.
"This is not a retirement — I will still work in an advisory position and be there for him during the transition," said Foust. "The board and I have been talking about this for a couple years."
Granville has been the headmaster at Simpson Academy in Mendenhall for the past four years and is completing his 10th year in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools.
He will continue his duty at Simpson for the remainder of the school year.
He previously spent six years at Chamberlain-Hunt as a teacher, athletic director, coach, commandant and chief of staff.
"I'm very excited about forming the partnerships between myself and the students, staff and the community," said Granville. "Like any good leader, my goal is to form positive relationships with everybody.
"We will continue to improve academics and the life goals of Bayou's students."
Granville said he has been impressed by Bayou Academy's growth under the direction of Foust.
"Bayou Academy has taken great strides under the leadership of Mr. Foust and we will work together to set the bar even higher — academically and athletically," said Granville.
Foust said he's honored to remain part of the school and continue the success.
"My main functions will be there to help with finances, scheduling, public relations and providing institutional history," said Foust. "I'm glad to do whatever he needs me to do and answer whatever questions he has.
Some of the accomplishments Granville was able to implement at Simpson included: ACT average score improvement from 19.1 to 23.2; MS Scholars improvement from 33 percent to 76 percent this year, and a substantial increase in scholarships.
He has coached many sports and enjoyed success in basketball, leading the boys at Chamberlain-Hunt to a state runner up in 2009.
Granville led the Simpson girls basketball program to a 56-23 record in the past two seasons, with two south state runner-ups and a fourth and fifth place state finish.
He has also served as a karate instructor, college basketball assistant and worked at the Ford Family Service Center.
He has a physical education degree from the University of Delaware and a Masters of Education from the University of Cincinnati.
"My wife and I are very excited about moving to the area because it looks like a great place to live," said Granville.
Rodney Flowers, the current assistant headmaster who began at the start of this academic year, will return to the Oxford area to spend more time with family.
The school has also announced Jimmy Hicks as the new athletic director, head of football operations and high school head football coach.
Foust said there would be some new faces at the top but Bayou has exciting times ahead.
"I've been the headmaster for 11 years and it's been great," said Foust. "My heart is still with the school. It's never been a job — it's a passion.
"The timing is right for someone else to take over the daily tasks of running the school."

Don't Hate the Corey, Hate The Game
Baseball February 17th, 2010
There were a lot of different reactions to the results of Corey Hart's arbitration hearing. Some were happy, some were mad, some people went to see The Blind Side with their family to celebrate (okay, that was probably only Corey himself) and others didn't really care. When the news first broke we wrote on our twitter "Its good to see the arbitration process is as broken as the rest of baseball's salary issues." and then "It's not that I don't like Corey or think he doesn't deserve it. I just dislike the notion of getting worse and getting paid more." The thing is he was going to be getting a raise no matter who won, so there is really no need to get upset about it. Whether he "deserves" it or not, he was going to get over four million dollars. I don't see why I should be upset that he's going to get an extra $600k or whatever it is. It's not like that $600k difference is going to stop us from doing much of anything (and if it stops us from signing Corey Patterson to a minor league deal, even better). The thing is, this is a silly thing to get upset about. It'd be like a guy who blogs about pizza getting upset over spending Valentine's Day alone. Corey Hart was going to be on the 2010 Brewers either way. That small salary boost shouldn't make a difference in the way you feel about him. Corey Hart is apparently worried about that though, saying as much to Brew Beat and I have to say he pretty much nails it. Read the rest of this entry »

THE OPEN is a worldwide search for the most inspiring photographers of our generation. It is an exposure powerhouse that connects photographers with a global audience. Photographers always retain 100% copyright control of their images.
THE OPEN was honoured to receive a very rare 'A' rating from PhotoShelter in 2013 and 2014, rising above National Geographic, PDN, Communication Arts and many more. It has been distinguished as "the most networked photo competition in the world" for its groundbreaking use of social media to give artists a global audience.
True to its name, THE OPEN welcomes all photographers. It is a search across six continents with a simple mission: discover the undiscovered; rediscover the established; bring the best photographers to the forefront.
Here's how it works: all images are displayed in real time on THE OPEN's gallery. Half of the 200 finalists are chosen by a judging panel comprised of some of the sharpest eyes in the photography business; the other half are chosen by open online voting fueled by the major social media platforms. From there, all finalist images are presented anonymously to a second panel of judges for a sealed-ballot vote for the category winners and Photographer of the Year.
THE OPEN is designed from the ground up to generate widespread exposure and business-building opportunities for photographers. It reaches photo lovers in 176 countries. It connects directly with 50,000+ creative industry professionals in North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia – art directors, photo editors, publishers and ad agencies – who tap into THE OPEN to discover new talent.
Come inside and be inspired by great photography from all around the world.

The Multicultural Action Center wishes to thank everyone who contributed to the success of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month 2009. In July, NAMI states and affiliates across the country joined the celebration and effort to increase awareness of mental illness among diverse communities nationwide. A variety of events took place and many proclamations of this special month were made by local leaders expressing the importance of mental health promotion for all. Though the energy around minority mental health awareness surged in July, much of the activity was met with a collective recognition of the importance of minority mental health awareness efforts year-round.
Click here for the full article including highlights of activities that may serve as examples for efforts that can be made throughout the year.
Building Community, Taking Action Oct. 4-10
In 1990, the U.S. Congress established the first week of October as Mental Illness Awareness Week (MIAW). Since then, NAMI state offices and affiliates have organized a great variety of events to educate communities about mental illness.
National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month 2009 showed us that fostering awareness of mental illness in diverse communities across the country is needed year-round. We invite you to keep up the momentum and contact your local NAMI to learn about planned events for MIAW 2009 and opportunities to get involved.

This is the second of two GLBTQI mental health recovery and community integration resources developed through the NAMI-UPenn partnership and serves as a companion to the previously released booklet, A Mental Health Recovery and Community Integration Guide for GLBTQI Individuals: What You Need to Know.

both would, but my point was, that brook lopez is labeled a terrible rebounder
well this game is over. there's no way we beat the thunder on friday. I'm almost confident enough to put the rest of my paychecks for the rest of this year on it
Little upset the C's lost but the Spurs are my second favorite team in the NBA. I'm still waiting to see a Spurs vs Celtics finals.
20+ years from now I and others will look back @WMXXX and say remember when Brock Beat The Undertaker? More people will remember his only loss more than those 21 Straight wins.
You know what's funny the bobcats have a better record then the celtics

Upset but last season's team started worse than this. No need to overreact.
Also what really pissed me of was how in the hell do you let splitter go off for 23 on you ?
seriously tho, i didnt catch one second or see a highlight and can tell by the box score the biggest flaw was exposed. redounding and defense in the paint.

When you understand that, I will know you are a responsible adult. You will NEVER find someone who loves, prays, cares & worries about you more than I do.

Rick Kantner, director of sales and marketing for Alsum Farms & Produce, Friesland, Wis., said markets will maintain significantly high prices until supplies increase, likely in early September. Although high prices can be good for growers, there are limits, he said.
"It's a delicate balance," Kantner said. "If prices go too high, consumers might back away. That leads to price decline and oversupply."
Kantner said his company expected to start digging reds by Aug. 2 with russets to follow two weeks later.

So the Description page mentions there being a total of six Space Marine Chapters being included in Deathwatch, almost certainly taking over the 'Homeworld' part of Character Generation for DH and RT, so what Chapters do you think will be included.
In my option, most certainly:
Ultramarines (they're always somewhere)
Space Wolves (there was a Deathwatch Marine in 'Innocence Proves Nothing' DH Novel from SW)
Blood Angels
And I'm thinking the others will come from 3 of the following:
Imperial Fists / Crimson Fists
Black Templars
Dark Angels
A new FFG Chapter (like Relic's Dawn of War has the Blood Ravens)
A chapter located near the region from DW, RT and/or DH (I think some of the books or maps show Space Marine worlds in or nearby the Calixis Sector)
What I'd like to see, but I don't have many hopes for, are the Raven Guard.
What do you guys think?

My wife, two year old daughter and I had flown to Fairbanks, Alaska to spend Christmas with my wife's family and I was eager to explore the brave the cold and winter wonderland. Coming from the mountains of Utah the idea of running in the cold was a not a new concept for me, but running in temperatures below zero was a totally different endeavour. It was nearly 10am and daylight was just beginning to brighten the Alaskan day, the ice and snow glittering in the early light. I laughed to my wife commenting that maybe it was ill-advised to run when it was nearly 20 below zero, and then went downstairs to get dressed for my run. Read more

MORTONS GAP, Ky. (6/10/13) – Central High School archer Jericho Vannoy, will be making his way to South Africa to compete in the first "All-Star NASP World Championship" in July 22-28, 2013.
Vannoy was recently crowned the National Champion in the National Archery Competition that was held in Louisville, and with this accomplishment Jericho has made the National Archery All-Star Team. All the participants will have the opportunity to perform shooting demonstrations, teach archery to the local children, compete against top archers from around the world, and the chance to explore the wildlife of South Africa. "This is going to be an incredible athletic and educational opportunity for Jericho, and I know that he is honored and excited to represent Hopkins County and the state of Kentucky," stated Dave Starks, HCCHS Archery Coach.Vannoy has also won the NASP National Archery Championship top male shooter, shooting a 298 out of 300, won a 5000.00 scholarship, a Yellow Competition Bow, and another Matthews Bow of his choice, 2 archery Targets, a National Championship Ring, a plaque and a 1st Place Trophy.
"We are very proud of Jericho. Archery is an awesome sport to be in our school systems and has lots of opportunities to go along with it. South Africa is a chance of a lifetime, and a chance to get to help teach the children in Africa everything they know about Archery. I believe Jericho will come home with a different perspective of helping others also," Lori Vannoy expressed. "I wanted to express my Thanks to Coach David Starks for all his love, care and concern for not only Jericho but for this sport and the team at Central. He is an awesome Coach and he has really been there for Jericho and helped him in so many ways. Jericho wouldn't have made it this far without Coach."
In order for this experience to happen, Vannoy would need donations that will be used to help with travel expenses. Flight costs to Johannesburg, SA range from $2,200 - $2,800 for round trip and Jericho and his family are responsible for the cost of the flight.
"I am looking forward to this experience in South Africa but in order for me to get there, we have to raise money and take donations," expressed Vannoy.
Dave Starks would like the community to know, "I appreciate any consideration you can provide to Jericho's endeavor. Your support means a great deal to me, Jericho and his family."
For more information or have any questions, you can contact Dave Starks at (270)584-5888."

Friday night, the Eagles faced a difficult challenge in the third round of the 2A State Playoffs with the Bruce High School Trojans standing in their way. Plenty of West Bolivar fans made the approximate 100-mile trip down to Bruce to cheer on the Eagles.
West Bolivar's chance of a state title repeat flew out the door as the Trojans squeaked by with a 14-12 win to eliminate the Eagles from the playoffs here at Trojan Field. Bruce, now 11-3, will face Eupora for the 2A North Half Title this Friday, while West Bolivar ended its season at 11-3.
Bruce's offense controlled the football by running 58 plays to West Bolivar's 35 plays, which enabled the Trojans to have the ball for more than two-thirds of the game on offense. Out of those 58 plays, Bruce, known for its passing game, ran the ball 37 times for a total of 173 yards on the ground. The Trojans finished up with 286 yards of total offense, while the Eagles had 147 yards of offense.
Down 14-6 in the fourth quarter, the Eagles tried to take the lead as Kailo Moore, playing under center at quarterback, took the snap and ran it to the house 61 yards for a touchdown. Moore tried to score the 2-point conversion but was stopped short as Bruce still led 14-12 with 9:02 left in the game.
The Eagles' defense stepped up immediately after Bruce got the football as Trojan running back Zay Armstrong fumbled the football with West Bolivar's William Lloyd recovering it to give the Eagles possession at the Trojans' 32-yard line. West Bolivar was able to get inside the 10-yard line, but Bruce's defense held firm and forced the Eagles to go for a 29-yard field goal attempt. The kick from Ladarius Tucker fell a measly couple of feet short, and the Eagles still trailed 14-12 with 5:36 left to play.
The Eagles were able to get the ball back one more time, but Armstrong picked off the pass from Kylan Johnson with 1:18 left in the game to seal up the win for Bruce.
"We still held them to 14 points, but it's unfortunate that would couldn't score," West Bolivar head football coach Henry Johnson said. "We just ran out of gas. We went to a two-safety look, and they just ran the football on us. We still had a chance to win it with a field goal."
"We were right where we wanted to be, but I admire them (Bruce)," Johnson added.
In the first quarter, the Eagles started the game on offense, but were quickly forced to punt. The Trojans got the ball in good field position as they started the drive at the Eagles' 41-yard line. Bruce ended up marching on a 6-play drive that was anchored by four solid runs from Zay Armstrong and a 17-yard run from quarterback Davis Brown. With 7:48 left in the first, Armstrong marched into the end zone from six yards out to give the Trojans their first touchdown of the night. The PAT kick from Tyler Donovan was good, and Bruce led 7-0.
The Trojans controlled the clock through out the first half, but the Eagles' defense played tough and kept the Trojans in check. Tucker recovered a fumble in the first half, while the rest of the Eagles did a good job at holding Bruce to seven points, despite the Trojans starting a possession in Eagles' territory three different times in the half.
As the second quarter was winding down, the Trojans went on another good run, which put them at the Eagle 4-yard line. Bruce tried to score another touchdown, but West Bolivar's defense came through big time as Brown's short pass was intercepted by Kylan. Kylan ended up running the ball 98 yards to the end zone for the touchdown with 13 seconds left in the half.
West Bolivar ended up being called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the play for excessive celebration, which forced the Eagles to start their point-after attempt at the 18-yard line instead of the 3-yard line. The extra distance forced West Bolivar to go for a 2-point conversion instead of an extra point kick. The conversion pass from Moore to Dekendrick Hall was incomplete, and Bruce held a slim 7-6 lead going into the lockerroom at halftime.
The Trojans started the second half on offense with a solid 10-play drive. The drive concluded when Armstrong, who finished the game with 119 yards on 23 carries, scored his second touchdown of the night on an 8-yard run with 6:20 left in the third quarter. Donovan's PAT kick was good, and the Trojans led 14-6.
The Eagles also had some drives on offense where a couple of dropped passes hindered their scoring chances. West Bolivar went 0-for-9 throwing the football.
Moore led the Eagles' offense by running for 111 yards with a touchdown on 15 carries. Out of those 111 yards, 94 of them came in the second half.
On defense, Tucker and Lloyd each recovered fumbles, while Kylan had the key interception return for a touchdown. Kebeon Clinton also recorded a clutch sack for the Eagles in the second half.
On offense for Bruce, Brown completed 14-of-21 passes for 113 yards with Shaq Bush catching seven of those passes for 71 yards to lead the Trojans.

For 18 years Captain Mike McCain has worked diligently to put smiles on the faces of many children during the police department's annual Shop with a Cop campaign.
McCain said that he was inspired to begin this program after being contacted by a Wal-Mart manager in 1995.
"The manager contacted me about doing something special for children around Christmas. I felt that the biggest problem that we would face was money but he agreed to come up with the money and he wanted me to find the kids," said McCain.
"We began with $300 and we took care of about five kids. It just took off from there," he added.
According to McCain, when the program began he would visit the Department of Health and Human Services, seeking children in need of Christmas joy and after people became familiar with the program, he began receiving suggestions and requests from individuals in the community.
"I see people all the time who recommend children or families to me. It's not an exact science but we try to find out who may not have a Christmas," he said.
McCain said that the goal of the program is to allow children to become familiar with police officers and it gives officers a chance to interact with children in the community.
The program services children between the ages of 3-12 and parents are allowed to shop along with law officials.
Each child is given a $50 gift card and permitted to purchase any toy that they desire within reason.
"I try to give some respect to the parents. Some parents don't like for their kids to have toy guns or action figures. I have had some to tell me that their child may need a coat or other clothing. We try to get them some clothes but I also make sure that they get something that they really want," said McCain.
"I let the parents play a little role in selecting items for the kids but I ask them not to actually pick the gift for the child," he added.
McCain said that the program receives donations from multiple sources.
"In Bolivar County we have some of the most generous individuals. We have had farmers who have written checks for Shop with a Cop and they didn't even blink," McCain said.
"I had a business owner who just threw a stack of money to me and it just blew my mind! They don't ask for any type of recognition, they just give from out of the goodness of their hearts. We have a heartfelt community that gives during this time of the year," he added.
McCain said that left over funds roll over to be used for the next year and are placed in the Cleveland city budget.
Although the program is up and thriving now, according to McCain there was a time when funds were a bit low and he didn't know where he would receive money to continue his efforts.
"About eight or nine years ago, I didn't have any money but after a story was ran in the Bolivar Commercial and picked up by other media outlets, I began receiving money from places that I would have never imagined. People began sending me money from Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama and even Georgia—checks just started coming in," he said.
The campaign is set for Dec. 16 through Dec. 21.
McCain and other law officials around the county will meet with children and their parents at Wal-Mart around 4 p.m. everyday except Saturday.
"On Saturday we will conclude Shop with a Cop with children that were selected by Sergeant Kelvin Brown from the Mound Bayou Police Department, he usually selects around 15 kids," McCain added.
Those interested in donating to the program can bring money to the Cleveland Police Department or contact McCain at 662-843-3611 for more details.
