Hi, I've developed a java OAuth library that it's intended to work out-of-the-box with LinkedIn (and many other OAuth APIs). It's called Scribe and you can find more info here. Lets see how we can use Scribe to get the network updates for the current user for example.
The library comes with 'specs' for each supported API. These are step-by-step guides (like this one) to see the OAuth dance in action. Feel free to run those if you want, they live under the org.scribe.specs package.
Step Zero: Install Scribe Go to the Downloads page and grab the jar. You also need to have apache-commons-codec in your classpath. 1st Step: Configuration Scribe's main object it's initialized using a .properties file, which provides the necessary information to make authenticated calls. The library comes with some predefined .properties files for most common APIs that you usually have to tweak a bit to fit your needs. Let's see LinkedIn's standard file:
consumer.key=Your consumer keyconsumer.secret=Your consumer secretrequest.token.verb=POSTrequest.token.url=https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/requestTokenaccess.token.verb=POSTaccess.token.url=https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/accessTokencallback.url=oobscribe.equalizer=org.scribe.eq.LinkedInEqualizer
Most of this is self-explanatory. You only need to change the consumer.key, consumer.secret and callback.url if you don't wanna use Out Of Band OAuth.
If you are curious about Scribe's Equalizers check this wikipage
Once you have your tuned properties, it's time to create the Scribe object 2nd Step: Creating Scribe's singleton object
Properties props = new Properties();FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("linkedin.properties");props.load(fis);Scribe scribe = Scribe.getInstance(props);
You have configured Scribe successfully 3rd Step: Get the Request Token This is easy, just do:
Token requestToken = scribe.getRequestToken();
The requestToken object has two methods: getToken() and getSecret(), they return the request_token and request_token_secret respectively. 4th Step: Authorize your Request Token Save the request_token_secret somewhere and go authenticate your request_token on the following URL:
https://api.linkedin.com/uas/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=<<copy your request_token here>>
Warning: It seems that LinkedIn is changing the authorization page, check this entry and stay tuned (the former URL is said to be supported for a while, but its better to be safe than sorry)
Here 2 things can happen:
- If you specified a callback URL, you'll be redirected there with the request_token and verifier as query-string parameters
- If you are doing an Out Of Band Request, you will see the verifier (a number) on the screen.
Either way grab the verifier and let's go get the access_token! 5th Step: Get the Access Token Now you should have:
- request_token: obtained in the scribe.getRequestToken() call
- request_token_secret: obtained in the scribe.getRequestToken() call
- verifier: obtained in step 4. Either by OOB or redirect
Warning: If you are missing one of this 3 things, please re-check previous steps.
It's time to change these for the access_token and access_token_secret, here we go:
Token requestToken = new Token("request_token", "request_token_secret");String verifier = "verifier";Token accessToken = scribe.getAccessToken(requestToken, verifier);
If everything is fine, accessToken will return your access_token and access_token_secret when you call getToken() and getSecret(), just like before. Last Step: Access the protected resource Enough authentication Now lets make the actual call:
Request request = new Request(Verb.GET, "http://api.linkedin.com/v1/people/~/network?count=50"); Token accessToken = new Token("access_token", "access_token_secret"); scribe.signRequest(request, accessToken);Response response = request.send(); //Do something with response.getBody()
Huray! We're done! Thanks for reading, hope this has helped you! Doubts? Comments? feel free to contact me via twitter. And happy hacking! -- Pablo Fernandez

Temporary Beach Volleyball Stadium for 2012 London Olympic Games
Populous, the London 2012 Olympic stadium architect and official architectural and overlay design services provider for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Atkins, the UK's largest engineering and design consultancy, will transform the iconic horse guards parade in London into an Olympic venue for the beach volleyball, competition taking full advantage of its historic and central setting.
The solutions provided include taking the standard components available for temporary stadiums and creating the same feeling of permanency as the main games venues. Pre-existing modular components will be hired to create a bespoke court. In keeping with both populous and atkins' low carbon ethos, following the games, the venue will be dismantled, leaving no trace on the location, and can be reassembled and used in other locations.

Use social media to build professional relationships.
Social media is a powerful tool in business, connecting you with current and potential clients. From their profiles, you gain a better understanding of who they are, what they do, how they think and who they know. The key to using social media successfully is building an online network of people who can help your business and whom you can help in return.
To start, connect with people you know in real life. When setting up your profile, most social networks ask you to import the contact list from your email. If you don't know how to do this, you can also log in to your email through the social network to retrieve your contact list. And, even if you've already set up your profile, you can import new contacts at any time.
Once you've imported your contact list, send invitations to connect with your contacts on the social network. You may be asked if you want to send a customized message along with the invitation. Consider writing a personalized message to each person. Personalization stands out, especially in social media.
LinkedIn is the network most professionals feel comfortable using. Many don't like to connect on Facebook, a site largely used to share personal photos and updates. If you receive a Facebook invitation from a professional contact and don't want to become 'friends,' don't ignore the invitation. That person knows you've ignored their invite, and it could be awkward the next time you meet in real life. Instead, send a private message through Facebook and ask to connect on LinkedIn.
In most cases, you can follow any user on Twitter without asking for his or her permission. And when you import your contact list into Twitter, you'll see the profiles of all of your contacts. You can also send an invitation to contacts that have not yet joined Twitter.
Once your contacts accept your invitation to connect, you'll see their full profiles, including people to which they're connected. Now you have direct access to their database of contacts, giving you potential leads for your own business. If you see someone you want to connect with, consider asking your contact for an introduction either within the social network or via email. You can also send an invite to the new contact directly. If you choose to do so, write a personalized message explaining who you are and why you want to connect. Otherwise, your invitation may be ignored.
Once you've made your connections, get organized. Most social networks let you create private lists to group your contacts together. LinkedIn's premium account allows you to save specific profiles and group them together in folders, while Facebook and Twitter offer similar features for free. Organize your contacts based on a system that works for you. One technique is to organize them by relationship – colleagues, current clients, prospective clients, competition, et cetera. Then, when you want to check on a specific group, simply pull up the list or folder.
Next, decide how you want to participate. The majority of social media users, particularly on LinkedIn, are passive users – they may log in regularly, but don't share any updates or content. Stand out by consistently offering content that adds value. This value might be informative, such as a link to a new study; educational, such as a how-to blog post; or entertaining, such as a funny video related to your industry. Whatever you decide to share, it should always be professional. After all, what you share through social networks is a direct reflection on your professional image.
Finally, the best way to strengthen your online relationships is to meet your connections in the real world. Consider scheduling a coffee or lunch each week with a new person or organize a get-together with a group of people you've met online. That way, you're doing a service to other people and keeping your schedule manageable!
Building your online network takes time and effort, but within a few months – perhaps even weeks — you'll see results.

Nudging one piece of furniture in front of another is a way to build necessary function or storage into a tiny living room. Place a console table or low dresser against the back of sofa to add table surface for lighting as well as a place to put drinks. Tuck poufs or floor pullows under the coffee table so you have extra seating. A bookcase arranged with books and collectibles can be an elegant backdrop for a desk or sofa.

'Why is this happening?' Chicago area residents deluged with rain, floods

Updated: May 20, 2013 7:40PM
When he saw the dream house he'd already put a deposit on partially submerged in rainwater Thursday, Joe Stoffey began to swear under his breath. "Why is this happening?" he thought.
His girlfriend, Chrissy Wild, began to cry.
The for sale sign in front of the two-and-a-half-story New Lenox home was submerged up to the realtor's name. A small lake prevented the couple from checking the damage. So they left and returned with an inflatable kiddie pool and two cedar planks. A boat and oars.
They floated their makeshift vessel to the front doorstep, not knowing what to expect.
The owner, a man who'd sent his pregnant wife to higher ground hours earlier and was stranded at the home, came outside.
"Hello. We're not crazy. We're just checking on you, and we're buying the house from you," said Wild, 30, who's training to be a nurse.
"He welcomed us onto the deck and he offered us a beer and we talked to him for a little bit," said Stoffey, 30.
"The garage and first floor had flooded. But he said they're going to make sure everything's cleaned up and taken care of before the closing," continued Stoffey, an oil refinery worker.
Other homeowners across the entire Chicago area were also bailing out after a 48-hour deluge deposited more than five-and-a-half inches of rain at O'Hare Airport, flooding at least 1,200 Chicago basements and thousands of suburban homes.
Though the rain tapered off Thursday night, the misery will continue. The National Weather Service issued an "areal" flood warning through 7:30 a.m. Friday.
"The areal flood warning is to let people know they have to be cautious of the water that's already on the ground that's running off into area rivers and streams," said National Weather Service meteorologist Mark Ratzer. Sporadic light showers are expected Friday.
Areas near rivers, lakes and retention ponds were hardest hit.
In Des Plaines, the Des Plaines River was five feet above flood stage and was forecast to rise another foot-and-a-half by Friday morning.
Officials from Lombard, Schiller Park, Elmhurst, River Grove, Gurnee, Villa Park and Des Plaines said their towns were swamped with flooded streets and advised residents to stay home and visitors to stay out.
Beyond the Chicago-area, London Mills — a town just west of Peoria — was being evacuated after a levee breach there Thursday night.
Gov. Pat Quinn declared a state of emergency, enabling state personnel to aid local governments, but flood victims should not expect any financial aid soon. Quinn's administration is still several steps away from being able to submit a request for federal disaster assistance for flood-ravaged Chicago-area homeowners and businesses, said Patti Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
State teams will assess damage and then make a determination whether to seek help from Washington, which could eventually yield grants and low-interest loans for homeowners and businesses with storm damage, she said.
On the North Side, the Chicago River rose by roughly six feet, forcing the Water Reclamation District to open the locks and reverse the flow of water back toward Lake Michigan.
In Albany Park, the river was a foot over flood stage, filling basements for up to a block south of the river's bank in several places.
The Edens Expressway, sections of the Eisenhower Expressway and other highways were shut down by flooding but by afternoon, all expressways except the Bishop Ford had been reopened.
And on the far Southeast Side, a large sinkhole swallowed several cars and one person was injured.
But the suburbs got the worst of it.
In west suburban Westchester, about 3,500 homes near Salt Creek were "submerged," said Mayor Sam Pulia, comparing the storm to the one that caused similar damage there in 2010.
"It's deja vu," said Pulia. "Someone maybe got four feet instead of six feet in their basement, but what's the difference? It's still ruined."
Further west, in Glen Ellyn, Lake Ellyn overflowed its northern bank, spilling water down Grand Avenue and Lake Road toward the homes below.
"It's higher than I've ever seen it," said Erin O'Connor, a 26-year resident. "They call it a hundred-year flood, but they've had five of these since we've been here."
In Elmhurst, a block of houses on Spring Road near Salt Creek was swamped, while others nearby suffered at least some water damage.
Kristin Wilmot said her home on the street received just enough seepage to ruin her basement carpeting, but she was grateful the damage wasn't worse.
"We're very blessed," said Wilmot, as she surveyed the flooded street from her waterlogged front lawn. "We watched some people down the street leave in boats."
Boats were also used in Lisle to evacuate several hundred residents from The Towers of Four Lakes Village high-rise development after water knocked out the buildings' electricity. "This is the worst I've seen the flooding," said Mayor Joe Broda, who's lived in the suburb for 35 years.
About 75 residents were taken to Benedictine University, which established an emergency shelter. The flooding affected at least "50 to 100" homes in Lisle, Broda said.
In south suburban Robbins, firefighters dragged an inflatable boat carrying a pregnant woman who was rescued along with five others from a flooded home. Twenty people were rescued from a three-block flooded zone.
In the near-western suburb of River Forest, about 50 volunteers helped village workers pile sandbags to protect the intersection of Chicago and Thatcher. Mark Janopoulos, River Forest's superintendent of public works, said the water was expected to crest more than a foot above its all-time high.
Residents in downtown Geneva were piling up sandbags along the swelling Fox River.
And back in New Lenox, Stoffey and Wild, after some soul searching, said they will go ahead with the purchase of their flooded home. "We still want it. We still love it. The good things in life are worth fighting for," said Wild.
And when they move in, they plan to put a framed picture of Friday's Sun-Times cover on the wall of their new house.

When asked what he thought of Tasti-Lee, Absolessian lavished praise on the variety, noting its deep red color and robust flavor.
I have to admit — I went back for seconds and thirds at the Deardorff booth because of the great blend of flavors.
With technological developments such as Klee's and Scott's, tomato flavor can only grow.
And I'm sure I'm not the only one who can't wait for some of these new tomato varieties to hit the market that should have even better flavor.

'Clases de baile' | Zidane's dance class takes final turn
Madrid | With pledges "to leave it all behind" and to start playing the game with children, archetypal playmaking midfielder Zinédine Zidane has announced his retirement from football following the World Cup finals.
Typically, the 33-year-old player for Real Madrid and France looked sheepish facing the bank of microphones and cameras at Wednesday's press conference. "Yes, he is shy," said France teammate Thierry Henry.

An inspiring book from one of our greatest living spiritual teachers.
Just as the life stories of the Buddha and Christ have served those on the spiritual path for millennia, our own lives can serve as important teaching stories. In Hidden Treasure, one of the great spiritual teachers of our time, Gangaji, uses the telling of her own life story to help readers unveil the truth in their own.
Antoinette (Toni) Roberson Varner was given the name Gangaji by her teacher Sri H. W. L. Poonja in 1990. Before that meeting, she had pursued many paths to enlightenment. Raised in the 1950s in the racially divided South, she married young and had a daughter. Following the dissolution of her first marriage, she moved to Northern California and immersed herself in the spiritual culture that was flourishing there; but her efforts to achieve lasting fulfillment ultimately fell short. In the wake of her disillusionment, she made a final prayer for help. The answer to her prayer came unexpectedly, taking her to India and to the meeting that would change everything. On the banks of the River Ganges, she met Poonja, also known as Papaji, who opened her mind to the eternal presence of being.

Tumblr-Wave: A 'Genre' of Music That Must Be Killed Before It Begins
The reason people invent sub-genres of music is because, quite frankly, they're too stupid to describe the sound of something in anything other than terms they just invented. Often redundant, insufferable terms that somehow end up proliferating among a small group of people into a mode of branding by a larger group of people, that corporations then co-opt for the sole purpose of producing and profiting meaningless mass-manufactured culture. Shitty culture. Read More

Born: 24 March 1960
Elected RA: 15 March 2011
Royal Academician
Engravers, Printmakers and Draughtsmen
Perry studied at Braintree College of Further Education from 1978 to 1979 and graduated from Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1982. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003.
He works in a variety of mediums but is best known as a ceramicist. There is a dissonance between the conventional forms of his vessels and the depictions that adorn them. He uses imagery and text to chronicle social concerns, his own formative experiences and to tell the story of his alter ego, Claire. The tone of his narratives is psychologically complex and often caustic. Although he uses traditional methods to make his pots, he employs a range of techniques, such as embossing and photographic transfers, to create intricate, animated surfaces.

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.
G3 - MYANMAR/ASEAN - Myanmar given 2014 ASEAN chair after signs of reform

By: Jason Gutierrez, NUSA DUA, Indonesia (AFP)
Posted: Thursday 17 November, 2011 at 10:39 AM
(Nusa Dua, IDN) - Myanmar on Thursday won approval to chair Southeast
Asia's regional bloc in 2014, in a reward for hints of reform from its new
government after decades of military rule.
Despite warnings from the US that the move was premature, leaders of
the Association of Southeast Asia Nations (ASEAN) handed Myanmar [the
chair] the diplomatic prize at their summit on the Indonesian resort
island of Bali.
"All leaders are in agreement that significant changes, significant
developments, have taken place in Myanmar and those changes have made it
more conducive for Myanmar to carry out this responsibility," said
Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa.
In 2006, Myanmar was forced to renounce the ASEAN rotating presidency
in the face of criticism over its human rights record and the ruling
junta's failure to shift to democracy.
But since elections a year ago, the military-backed government has
held direct talks with opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, freed 200
dissidents and frozen work on an unpopular mega-dam.
The regime is seeking to shrug off its image as an international
pariah, but US President Barack Obama, speaking in Australia before
travelling to Bali for Saturday's East Asia Summit, was cautious on the
signs of reform.
He said that "violations of human rights persist" in Myanmar and that
his administration would continue to push for change with a mix of
sanctions and engagement.
"So we will continue to speak clearly about the steps that must be
taken for the government of Burma (Myanmar) to have a better relationship
with the United States," he said.
Rights campaigners say they fear that the reform drive could be
reversed now that the the government has won the coveted ASEAN
chairmanship, removing the incentive for more fundamental change.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said that Southeast Asian leaders
were satisfied with the momentum in Myanmar.
"The reforms may not reach the level that makes everybody happy but as
far as ASEAN is concerned they are positive and encouraging signs," he
said in Bali.
"That should help them along the way so that they can achieve more
progress towards a more inclusive and fair democracy."
Along with the ASEAN chairmanship, the decision means Myanmar will
host the East Asia Summit in 2014, which brings ASEAN members together
with the United States, China and Russia, among others.
A senior Myanmar official at the Bali conference said his government
was confident the United States would attend the 2014 meeting.
Asked whether he was concerned that Washington could decide to
boycott, Sit Aye, senior legal adviser to Myanmar President Thein Sein,
said: "I don't think so.
"We will take this responsibility of chairmanship seriously."
Natalegawa said that while ASEAN leaders recognised the positive
changes that had taken place in Myanmar, more measures including prisoner
releases would be welcome.
"There is inherent in this sentiment to closely monitor the
developments in Myanmar because ASEAN wants to ensure that in 2014 Myanmar
will be more than where they are now, towards more democratisation," he
Myanmar's resolve for reforms will be tested this Friday, when Suu
Kyi's opposition party is expected to announce its return to the official
political arena after years of marginalisation by ruling generals.
Senior members of the National League for Democracy are to gather in
Yangon to discuss re-registering as a political party, after it boycotted
last year's vote over rules that would have forced it to expel imprisoned
Myanmar has long been a source of embarrassment for the group's more
democratic states, overshadowing other problem members such as communist
Vietnam and Laos, which have significant human rights issues of their own.

MUSCATINE – The DNR's Air Quality Bureau invites Muscatine-area residents to a public meeting Oct. 3 to discuss effects on the community after the city and nearby area dropped below federal air quality standards for sulfur dioxide.
Called nonattainment, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has identified the city of Muscatine and adjacent areas as failing to meet the one-hour sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard.
When an area is in nonattainment, the federal Clean Air Act requires state and local governments to take steps to control pollution. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss timelines, requirements and preliminary plans to address sulfur dioxide pollution in Muscatine.
The meeting begins at 6 p.m. at the Muscatine County Conservation Board's Environmental Learning Center, 3300 Cedar St. in Muscatine.
The nonattainment designation goes into effect Oct. 4. The state has five years to reduce pollution and meet the sulfur dioxide standard. However, the state must submit a plan to EPA within 18 months showing how that will be accomplished.
According to EPA, monitoring at Musser Park in Muscatine showed that outdoor air exceeded the one-hour limits for sulfur dioxide. Short-term exposures to high levels of sulfur dioxide – from five minutes to 24 hours – have been scientifically linked with adverse health effects, including bronchoconstriction and increased asthma symptoms.
More specific information is available at www.iowadnr.gov/InsideDNR/RegulatoryAir/IowaNonattainmentAreas.aspx.
Please contact Jim McGraw at (515) 242-5167 or email@example.com, with questions about the meeting.
Muscatine is one of two areas in Iowa that are in nonattainment for air quality.

Take flights to Bahrain for maze-like souks, tasty streetside shawarma and diving with the hope of pearls.
Things to do
Multicoloured fish and pods of dolphins teem in the Gulf's clear, shallow waters. Go diving in the oyster beds in search of Bahrain's famous natural pearls. If you're lucky, you'll find a pearl to take home from your Bahrain holiday.
Lose yourself in Manama's spice-scented souks on your Bahrain city break. Haggle for saffron and syrupy dates, richly hued kaftans and Persian carpets, gold and pearls. Small talk and ghawa (Arabic coffee) are part of the fun.
Hungry Bahrain locals flock to Manama's famous Shawarma Alley for juicy spit-roast chicken or lamb, mixed with minty tabbouleh wheat salad and stuffed into a soft pita. Join the queue at roadside stalls to try out the Middle Eastern snack.
Fruity smoke drifts from hookah pipes in Manama's bohemian coffee houses, perfect for a relaxed drink after flights to Bahrain. At weekends, Bahranians head to Juffair district, where DJs spin Latino in über-cool lounges and belly dancers entertain in supper clubs.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Bahrain. Catch the racing action of the Bahrain Formula One Grand Prix in March or April, or camel riding and family fun at the Muharraq Summer Festival.

As I mentioned in a recent blog about using herbs, we are going to discuss a different herb each week for a bit. Last week we talked about using basil and our readers shared some of their favorite ways they use basil. Thanks everyone who shared last week!
This week let's talk about dill. Dill is a helpful tool inside the kitchen and out.
Did you know that dill is supposed to keep the tomato horn worm away? My next try at tomatoes I am surrounding them with dill, garlic and basil. The garlic and basil are also supposed to help repel pests and the basil supposedly helps provide important nutrients to the soil that may improve the taste of the tomato. Sorry I did not include that basil tip in last week's basil blog, but I just discovered it this week when I reread this article on companion planting – some good info in this article that I will be testing in the garden from here on out. I will keep you posted on what I learn.
Increasing the amount of dill plants in my garden will work out well. We are really starting to go through the dill in our kitchen these days and now that I have successfully learned to dry my herbs we are all set.
Here are some of the ways we use dill in the kitchen…
When I learned a friend used dill in an amazing mushroom appetizer she makes where she crock pots whole mushrooms with wine, butter and dill overnight to serve at parties I started playing with dill more in my kitchen especially with anything that has wine, butter and mushrooms.
- So now I add dill to my beef tips when I make it.
- We add dill to our own sautéed mushrooms we frequently make with steaks.
- We use dill in the herb ranch dressing recipe I mentioned in a post earlier this spring.
- Dill is a key ingredient in a mashed cauliflower dish I make. Simply steam cauliflower until it is tender enough to mash. Then add cream cheese, a pad of butter, dill, salt and pepper. I do this all to taste. It is a hit in our house, even the toddler digs it.
How are you using Dill at your house?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering if you could do me a big favor and help me make a "to buy" list for my entry into Dust Warfare. A few of my other friends are already playing and I've decided to join. At this point, I think I'll be choosing The Axis as my faction.
So here's the thing: In pretty much every experience with new table top miniature games I've gotten into, it starts out with buying some stuff you think seems cool. Then some of works for you and some of it doesn't. You stop playing with the stuff that doesn't work, then buy more stuff to fill in the gaps. Then you reach a new level of understanding in the game and pretty much now know what style of play is fun for you and the models that would be good for it. However that requires almost replacing 75% of your current collection and so you buy more.
Now, I know you probably can't bypass all of that but I'd like to mitigate as much as that process as I can. I want to buy an army that resembles what the "future me who has played this game for a year" would buy. Why? Well, because I have so many friends who each play a different game and I've already spent a ton of money buying models for the other games and going on those journeys.
Could you please help me buy a set of models that'll get me most of the way there and won't having me rebuying an entire new army 5 months from now? I really would like to save money this time.
So here's what I'm looking for: An Axis army list that I will use a shopping list. The list is made at the usual point level most people play at (I don't know what that is). It doesn't have to be the most minmax hardcore list that is the "Scissors" to most people's "Paper" and sometimes sees a "Rock". But if that's what is good then that's fine too. Mostly, I'm looking for a fun to play, well rounded list that is good for most games. True, in most games, there's no such thing as the perfect "all comers" list, I realize that. That's okay. Just a general well rounded list is okay. If you could recommend me a list like that, I'd be very grateful.

Matthew McConaughey has had a long and successful career. Take a look back at some images of the Hollywood hunk throughout the years.
One of McConaughey's first -- and most memorable -- roles was that of aging skirt chaser David Wooderson in 1993's "Dazed and Confused."

Whether it's a lip balm, a lip suncreen, or a lip scrub to remove dry, flaky skin, a lip product must meet these criteria to make the Best Products list:
Lips are certainly a focal point of the face, and an area that should not be ignored when it comes to sun protection and moisturizing. As it turns out, there are several outstanding products to help you take excellent care of your lips and make uncomfortable chapping a distant memory!
The lip products on this list include options to remove dry, flaky skin from chapped lips, protect lips from daily sun exposure, or prevent lips from becoming dry and chapped. And all of them are fragrance-free, because fragrance, whether natural or synthetic, is a big source of lip irritation.
Unless you apply an opaque lipstick every day, it is important to use a lip balm or lipstick with sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater (recommended lipsticks with sunscreen appear elsewhere on this site). Taking the time to protect your skin from sun exposure should always include your delicate, sun-vulnerable lips, too.

Hooker informed the board of supervisors in his report on Monday that the county had been approved for partial economic/community funding through a partnership with the John C. Stennis Center for Public Service Leadership, which will perform the study.
He said he began the talks with the Center in April but that things really began to move forward in July when the board began discussions about the future of the property.
"Back in July the board, with input from the appointed Expo Committee, began discussions on improvement plans for the Expo Center," said Hooker. "It was during that meeting that the board approved the application for funding and partnership agreement process."
He added that with the county using tourism as a vital economic tool to grow the area, he believed a study of this kind could continue to build upon the tools that have already been put into place by things, like the Mississippi Blues Trail and the Grammy Museum.
"I just feel like we need to get an outside, independent opinion about how we could better utilize the facilities and take a holistic approach," said Hooker. "Other Delta counties like Tunica, for example, have found their niche with similar properties that have helped their community's marketability tremendously.
"I just want to provide this board with an update that we have been contacted by the Stennis Center saying that we did receive a grant that would help us (county) offset the cost of a study into what steps we need to take in improving the expo center and making it a more vital tool to the economic development of the area," he continued.
Hooker said that the funding will allow the county to have a marketing analysis and a feasibility study into the economic impact and possibilities of the property so that the county could prioritize things that we think can, and should, be improved.
"This strategy would be a help to the entire county because it gives us a plan of action," Hooker added. "By coming to a partnership with the Stennis Center for Public Service we can present a real strategic plan, consisting of short and long term goals, in moving forward at the Expo Center.
"We are proposing to develop an analysis of the market potential of the facility and how various improvements and strategies could enhance the use of the facility and the feasibility of such strategies. We propose to conduct an assessment of the tourism mix in the region and how best to position the facility within the goals of the county."
Hooker commented that the Stennis group would work closely with the Board of Supervisors, the facility's advisory board (Expo Committee) and community stakeholders to provide them with insight into realistic possibilities for the facility and the further development of tourism and recreation in Bolivar County.
The Stennis Center for Public Service is a federal, legislative branch agency created by Congress in 1988 to promote and strengthen public service leadership in America.
It is headquartered in Starkville, adjacent to Mississippi State University and has an office on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Programs of the Stennis Center are funded through an endowment plus private contributions from foundations and corporations.
Hooker added that the study would be on plans for both buildings and all the surrounding property at the site.

The Cleveland woman's part began 12 years ago when she and her husband, Ron, sat on the couch in front of a warm fireplace as they watched a Chattanooga news broadcast. In her cozy living room, she watched the story of a homeless man who had frozen to death.
"It gripped me hard," she said in a recent interview. "It tore me apart and I thought, 'I have got to do something.'"
She began to cry. Ron told her the couch began to vibrate because of her strong emotional response. The next morning she went to the Cleveland Emergency Shelter and New Life Bible Church Community Kitchen to find out their needs and what she could do to help the homeless in Cleveland.
She told her family and neighbors of the need for towels, washcloths, coats and food.
"Within just a few days, my family and my church family all began to bring things to me," she said.
She began by taking items to the emergency shelter and the church, but then began noticing there were people who could not get to the church to eat or find a bed in the emergency shelter.
"All of these different agencies have limits on what they can do, so I just started going out on my own," she said. "I started going to different places over the 12 years I have been doing this — I depend on God. This is God's work. He put it on my heart to do."
She prays every day that God will put people in front of her who need help — and He does. She meets people with no coats or shoes at post offices, grocery stores, the courthouse and other public places where they go for warmth.
Heil is hopeful her story will raise awareness of homeless and needy people in Cleveland.
"Throughout the Bible, we are told over and over that we are to love one another, help lift up and edify one another," she said. "John 13: 34-35 says: 'A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.'
"It wasn't a suggestion. It was a command. God has blessed me to be able to be a part of this work He has given me to do," she concluded.
Heil drives along certain streets and roads where she knows people live either in tents or caves. On cold and rainy days she distributes sheets of plastic in addition to coats and food.
"My car is packed full of socks, gloves, toboggans, long underwear. I carry at least 20 winter coats in my car at all times," she said. "For the first five or six years, everybody just called me the Coat Lady."
She has never opened the trunk of her red Thunderbird and not had what was needed for a particular person.
"This is God's ministry," she said. "I asked God what was my purpose in life and He hit me in the head with it.
"I usually drive a Lincoln. I can dress up," the former X-ray technician said. "Yes, I could be homeless now if I had to. I wouldn't want to. I've met so many people that when you hand them food, they tear into it because they are so hungry and when you're hungry, you're hungry now. It would be hard to be homeless, but I think I've picked up a few tricks."
But until she first saw the news story, she never gave homelessness a thought.
"I was like everybody else. It didn't occur to me that people were cold. It did not occur to me that people were hungry because I was warm. I was fed. I could watch TV and get my mind off of things, but when that hit me, it was like God hitting me on the head and telling me it was time for you to start doing something and that's what I've done."
She wonders why people don't want to help, but she has noticed they tend to turn their heads away, literally and figuratively.
People are afraid of each other. There is an equal amount of distrust between the people who have and the people who don't. Heil acknowledges there is a danger and carries pepper spray with her.
"I've been out hundreds of times and have met hundreds of homeless people, but I have never, ever been challenged — never ever been spoken to gruffly or anything," she said. "But I do take precautions."
Everyone she has met has their own story. Some of the stories break her heart and some leave her with the feeling she has been taken advantage of, "but God knows my heart and I'm not the one they are going to have to answer to."
She said there are at least 350 to 400 homeless people she knows in Cleveland. They live without televisions, telephones, computers, electricity or showers. They bathe in creeks and eat the best they can without building a fire.
Heil told of a cold day several years ago when she was pumping gas in 7-degree weather. On the other side of the pump island, a man in a sleeveless T-shirt pumped $1.47 worth of gas into a vehicle.
As the man walked passed her to pay for the gas, she asked if he was cold.
"He looked at me really gruff and said, 'What do you think?' I just got in my car and the first coat I came to was a big, beautiful, brand-new coat someone had given me to give out," she said.
After the man paid for the gas and returned to the vehicle, she offered him the coat. The man replied that he did not have any money.
"This is your coat. God gave it to me to give to you because you need a coat," she remembers telling the man.
Reluctantly, the man took the coat while asking what strings were attached.
"No strings. I just want you to know God knows where you are. He knows your situation. He knew you needed a coat this morning," she said. "It was a big coat and it fit him perfectly."
She went inside to pay the cashier and when she returned to the car, he opened the door for her. Tears rolled down his face.
"He said, 'I appreciate my coat, but what I appreciate more than anything was what you said to me and your smile.' I realized then, you can hand out things all you want and a lot of people don't want to do that. A lot of people give me things to give out and I believe they are missing a blessing. Meeting that man that day and giving him that coat, touching his heart and being able to tell God knows where you are and God loves you was so exciting to me that sometimes I feel guilty. I get such a blessing that I feel guilty."
During the years, she has learned from the homeless and has become somewhat "street smart." She knows many of the homeless come out between 10:30 and 11 a.m. because that is when restaurants put out their breakfast in dumpsters. The homeless people rummage through the dumpsters for food.
The homeless know where the best dumpsters are and when they will have fresh food in them. Some restaurants hang unsold food items, such as biscuits, inside waste bins.
"This is a good time to find people to help," she said.
Taking the needs to the needy is not for everyone, but everyone can collect travel sizes of shampoo, soap, razors, shaving cream and toothpaste. She packages hygiene items for men and women in plastic baggies. She gives out flashlights, washcloths, devotionals or a New Testament.
"Everyone is given a 'his' or 'her' bag," she said.
Diane has met her share of alcoholics and addicts, but in the last four or five years, she has met more people who just can't find work in a bad economy. The most coats she has given out in one day is 11. It was about two or three months after a company closed down and the situation quickly deteriorated for the former employees.
Ron does not go out on the streets with Diane, but when she calls and tells him of someone who needs work, he finds them work and they generally make good employees.
She met one man who claimed to be a master carpenter. Ron found him a job with a local contractor. The man continued living on the streets until he earned enough money to move into housing. He is now a productive member of society.
Homeless men still outnumber women, but the female population has increased during the economic downturn, according to Heil.
"It has definitely gotten worse over the last four or five years," she said.

Food Safety Training - A State Mandate
EMC works to assure food safety and therefore requires all vendors to practice Minimum Safe Standards for food sampling and safe food handling while at Eastern
Market. Please take a moment to view these videos offered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
In January 2007, the State of Michigan enacted amendments to the Michigan Food Law of 2000 which now mandates that all food service establishments employ a minimum of one certified food manager to ensure proper food sanitation and provide food safety training to their employees.
As a result of these amendments, all establishments must ensure that certified managers are responsible for:
- Developing a food safety training program specific to their establishment
- Providing training to all new hires as well as existing employees on a scheduled and ongoing basis, and not less than once per calendar year
- Maintaining all training records and documentation
- Developing or updating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on an annual or as needed basis
Facilities not in compliance with the guidelines established by the Michigan Food Law will be subject to code enforcement, including but not limited to: increased inspection frequency, limited licensing, and possible closure.
Food Safety Training - Detroit
On January 4, 2012, the Detroit Department of Health and Wellness Promotion (DWHP) announced that effective February 3, 2012 that due to budget cuts, they will no longer facilitate the Food Handler Permit training and will not issue food handler cards. In addition, DWHP announced that they will no longer provide Certified Professional Food Manager (aka ServSafe) training, as well.
In order to continue to provide the city of Detroit's Food Service Professionals with exemplary food safety training, PIC Food Safety Inc., an Oak Park, Michigan based food safety training and consulting services provider, has partnered with Eastern Market Corporation (EMC) to provide this state mandated training in the city.
