Syrian Troops Pursue "Scorched Earth" Policy; Videos Document Children Tortured to Death
The Syrian army has taken control of the northern town of Jisr al-Shughour following what state media has described as heavy fighting by "armed groups," who residents say are mutinous soldiers defending the town. Our guest Neil Sammonds, Syria researcher for Amnesty International, is interviewing refugees who have fled the violence by crossing into Turkey. They tell him Syrian military forces have destroyed houses, burned crops, slaughtered livestock and contaminated water supplies. We speak with Razan Zaitouneh, a lawyer and human rights activist based in Damascus. She has documented that children are among those killed by snipers, or kidnapped by security forces, tortured and killed. [includes rush transcript]
Maher Arar: My Rendition & Torture in Syrian Prison Highlights U.S. Reliance on Syria as an Ally
As Syria continues its brutal crackdown on demonstrators, we speak to a Canadian citizen who was repeatedly tortured by Syrian authorities after he was rendered to Syria by the United States in 2002. Maher Arar was seized at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport in September 2002 and sent to Syria, where he was tortured and interrogated in a tiny underground cell for nearly a year. He now works as a human rights advocate in Canada. "The cooperation with the Syrian government, as well as other dictatorships in the Middle East post-9/11, gave some kind of legitimacy to those dictatorships," says Arar. He calls on the United States and the United Nations to declare the Syrian regime illegitimate and refer the matter to the International Criminal Court. [includes rush transcript]
Former Miss USA, Ralph Nader, Privacy Advocates Fight Full Body Airport Scanners and Invasive Pat-Downs
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has filed a lawsuit asking a federal judge to stop Transportation Security Administration's full body scanning procedures by granting an immediate injunction. The full body scans are not mandatory for all travelers, but those who object are subject to "enhanced" pat-downs, extremely invasive manual checks. Civil rights activists argue these initiatives are inappropriate, ineffective, violate the Constitution, pose health concerns related to radiation exposure, and are insensitive to religious practices. We speak former Miss USA and actress Susie Castillo, who was recently subjected to an enhanced body pat-down and has become a vocal critic of such security procedures. We also speak with Ralph Nader and Amie Stepanovich of EPIC. [includes rush transcript]
Ralph Nader: Koch Brothers Led Fight to Defend Formaldehyde Despite Carcinogenic Evidence
The government has added formaldehyde to a list of known carcinogens, despite years of lobbying by the chemical industry. Formaldehyde is found in plastics and often used in plywood, particle board, mortuaries and hair salons. The government also said Friday that styrene, which is used in boats, bathtubs and in disposable foam plastic cups and plates, may cause cancer. The conservative billionaire Koch brothers have led the lobbying effort against labeling formaldehyde as a carcinogen. Georgia-Pacific, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, is one of the country's top producers of formaldehyde. We get reaction from longtime consumer advocate Ralph Nader. [includes rush transcript]

DN! In Depth
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan — President Barack Obama issued the third veto in his more than six years in office, rejecting the "Keystone XL Pipeline Approval Act." This was the new congressional Republican majority's first bill this year. Climate scientist James Hansen, the former head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, wrote in The New York Times that if the pipeline gets built, "it will be game over for the climate." This vote and veto came as much of the United States was gripped by extreme cold weather, while most of California braces for even more drought. The corporate television newscasts spend more and more time covering the increasingly disruptive, costly and at times deadly weather. But they consistently fail to make the link between extreme weather and climate change.

Anything done without pads makes this more watchable for some of us :D
Seriously, can y'all...
Woohoo, performing drills not in pads.
{The combine is obviously the greatest indicator of...
1, provided the Packers win it. Best two out of 3 if they don't.
I agree the whole "The NFL is planning an 8 game season" nonsense was blown out of proportion. Of course they have an 8 game plan. They have plans for most everything.
That said, 9 games seems to be the least amount that could still work without giving us a fluke champion. That gives you time to play each divisional foe twice, plus each conference opponent who finished in your spot last year. For example, the Packers would play the Bears, Vikings and Lions twice, plus the Saints, Giants and Rams.
I'm not sure what the break down would be for 8 games.. Would teams play each divisional opponent twice plus the NFC and AFC opponent in the respective divisions you're supposed to play based on last seasons standings? For example, would the Packers play their divisional foes twice, plus the Saints and then the Chargers? I suppose that could work, and would give enough criteria to settle tie breakers and such..
I think for me the big issue would be how realistic the season was in determining playoff seedings. The NFL could easily do a 12 game season and fairly determine playoff seedings (just get rid of the 4 interconference games) each team plays.
Reducing that number to 8 makes it a little tougher to determine playoff seedings, IMO. But they could possibly do it. If you reduce the division games from 6 to 3, then the team that has 2 home division games has a slight advantage in determining division champion. If you reduce that to 4 games, then a team might have a slight advantage in winning the division, because they get to play a bad team twice and the other teams in the division once. So from a meaningful season standpoint, you probably have to keep the 6 division games, and maybe redo the playoffs with an 8 team playoff (top 2 from each dviision)
Single elimination sounds great, except for the teams that don't get to play the next week. One of the great things about the NFL is the "any given Sunday" nature of it, that even a bad team with a rookie QB can beat a playoff team any given week (Tampa Bay vs Green Bay in 09 for example).So what happens if an agreement is reached in December? Too late to play, too early to go home. How would you react to a March Madness style, 5-week single elimination tournament? The NFL is set up perfectly for such a thing. The first 2 weeks would be division games, then 2 weeks of conference games, then a Super Bowl. Would it be too late, or is a little football better than none?
Mathematically, I think the minimum for a serviceable tie breaking system would be 10 games. 6 games inside your division, and 4 games against the same interdivision rivals. To assure clean tiebreakers, the interdivision rivals would have to be of the same conference.
For example
N plays S and W plays E
The WC will come out of the third best team in each pairing.
I think that would be the minimum "fair" schedule. Going down as low as 8 is possible, but you'd see a scen straight out of Baseketball
Dan Patrick: With the first nine months of the Baseketball postseason out of the way, the playoff picture is starting to emerge.
Kenny Mayne: So, with last night's victory over Boston, next week the Milwaukee Beers must beat Indianapolis in order to advance to Charlotte. That's in an effort to reduce their magic number to three.
Dan Patrick: Right, and then the Beers can advance to the National Eastern Division North to play Tampa.
Kenny Mayne: So, if the Beers beat Detroit and Denver beats Atlanta in the American Southwestern Division East Northern, then Milwaukee goes to the Denslow Cup, unless Baltimore can upset Buffalo and Charlotte ties Toronto, then Oakland would play LA and Pittsburgh in a blind choice round robin. And if no clear winner emerges from all of this, a two-man sack race will be held on consecutive Sundays until a champion can be crowned.
Any football would be better than no football. In '82 they played 8 games and had a "Superbowl Tournament" or some such thing. It was great till the Bengals lost their first round game against the Jets and their Sack Exchange. If they don't play until December, a single-elimination tournament would be better nothing at all and might actually be pretty exciting. Is there any talk of pushing the Superbowl date back if the season is delayed? If they move it to, say, mid-March all the road construction around Indy might be finished and the possibility of crippling ice storms will have receded ever so slightly
Goodell has said the NFL has contingencies for contingencies. I think this is where the 8 game season talk came from. In 1982 we played a 9 game season after a strike and the playoff teams were seeded by overall record. No division champs, wild cards, etc. A tie-breaker system of some sort has to be in place. In keeping with the first tie-breaker being division record, which makes sense because each team plays division opponents twice...the NFL could play a 6 game season, all division opponents. You sure would much rather compete in the AFC or NFC West wouldn't you? How would teams that have a whole new coaching staff or teams playing QBs new to its system do? Talk about an uphill climb. Cleveland and Cincinnati with new coaches and young, inexperienced QBs going vs. the Steelers and Ravens? Carolina having to face the Saints, Falcons and Bucs twice? The list of experience and continuity mismatches goes on and on in a shortened season of division games only. I am with you Andy a 12 game season has the right feel to it if some are missed. My minimum feels like 10, a season of less than 10 games feels like a youth football season. The NFL could eliminate by weeks if games are missed. It could play the Super Bowl the week after the conference championship games. There is a plan in place for the Super Bowl to be played a week later if necessary as well. I agree the NFL would look at a missed season as a travesty.
I'm also on board with a 12-game season, hopefully keeping the 6 games within the division...That way you could keep the current playoff format (although the tiebreaker situation could be comical)...If this is the case, that Week 17 (or whatever it would be) slate of all games within the division could be even more interesting...
Should the NFL season be shortened, there would appear to be no way to drop certain parts of the schedule such as intra- or inter- division portions.
The 2011 NFL schedule is already in print with the dates, times and sites already set. There would be tremendous difficulties creating new arrangements.
If the NFL had a fixed system that had all division teams doing the same thing every week, such a thing would be possible. If, for example, each division played their two standings-based games on the same week and also matched up on the inter- and intra-conference and the division weeks, it could be done. Unfortunately, the 2011 schedule does not fit this plan.
A small example from the AFC North:
Baltimore – 5
Cincinnati – 7
Cleveland – 5
Pittsburgh - 11
Baltimore – 3, 8, 10, 12
Cincinnati – 3, 8, 15, 16
Cleveland – 7, 8, 10, 15
Pittsburgh – 2, 7, 15, 16
Other segments of the schedules are similarly mismatched.
The bottom line if they miss games scheduled in the regular season-
They will just have to start playing from where they are on the calendar. It would not be an equal situation.
The only possible out would be to try to reschedule the games later in an extended season.
I don't know the commitments that go into NFL scheduling, or in the case of a strike shortened season, NFL rescheduling of games. So I would like a better understanding of the difficulties. What are the limitations put into place that prevent NFL rescheduling? I imagine some issues is that the stadium is in use when the teams are away. So you have to work around that. And you also have ticket holders who make plans based on when their team is at home. Other than that, what are the difficulties? Have the 2011 tickets been printed and sent out already? If so, I imagine that is an additional difficulty.Should the NFL season be shortened, there would appear to be no way to drop certain parts of the schedule such as intra- or inter- division portions.

In the case of season ticket holders, I imagine NFL owners could just make those tickets fully refundable.
No way can it be played as the schedule states if games are missed. They would have to re do the schedules at that point. Not that I would argue if it happened. Pittsburgh would get to skip the away game with Baltimore and playing indy. It would destroy parity in the divisions. Pitt and bmore would be guaranteed playoff spots almost w the winner of their one head to head game winning the division. Here's hoping cooler heads prevail and no games are missed and this thread was just a good way to keep us football junkies occupied while there was no real football news to keep us occupied!!
I don't know what this game football is that you talk about; but, in baseball, a game is official after either 4.5 or five innings. So after five innings, I say, or 9.44 weeks of a NFL schedule. The late games would have to be skipped in week 10, sorry West Coast. You get good weather and bikini babes all year. Us Easterns have to find a way to be turned on by parkas. Parkas! That would help with tie-breakers since some teams would have less games played. Sorry you missed out since you played 10 and another team played 9. You should have scheduled your bye week later, Champ.
My real answer is 10 and only b/c of even # H/A games needed. MY ultimate need is 9 or one game past half for all.
Every year it seems fans and commentators talk about how sloppy Week 1 and Week 2 games are. And that's w/ mini camps and full training camp.
If the season doesn't start till say late Oct just how bad will the play be?
If there is a 8 or 10 game season will there even be a preseason game?
If there are not any "practice games" will any coaches have hair left when the season starts?
Or will we see 32 "Hoodies" covering chrome domes on the sidelines? Ok 31, Rex wouldn't care.
Just be sure to give him his GD snack!
Greetings! I am new to the site - very interesting stuff around here!
Maybe this is better in its own thread, but if games are missed, I am really curious how that impacts the league's ratings going forward. The area in particular I have not seen much comment on is what portion of the TV rates hang on the Fantasy Football Fan (FFF). I have read one article that did show in recent years that Sunday night and Monday night game have much less viewer dropoff during blowouts, postulating that FFF might be propping the ratings up (in hopes their 3rd WR scores 2 TDs ). The article was awhile back or I would post it. I would love to see some hard data in that area.
The key is: at what point was the FFF ditch the NFL and use college for their league? It certainly is more scalable with college. If a league with just a couple of your buds, just pick one conference. If you got a ton of people, add in all the Bowl Championship conferences. We all know people that love their fantasy team more than their regular team (especially if you are a fan of a perennial <.500 team). Could some of that precious $9B if some of the FFF switch over and never come back (never deny an addict their drug - they will find a new one).

I still think we need to get a fantasy baseball dynasty league going. If you want I can probably get some guys I talk to on twitter to join with us if we can't get enough interest on here.
I never said it would be easy for the Superbowl to grow. I am just saying there is a lot of room for it to grow if the NFL puts the resources to make it happen. Which as I said, they are slowly...
That means financing developmental leagues in other countries (Mexico, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Australia and the UK). and I'm talking pop warner through HS at least.

More professionals biking to work
Why are so many white-collar workers in the Twin Cities parking the car and biking to work?
- Evelina Smirnitskaya
- Staff Writer- Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal
Minneapolis' reputation as one of the bike-friendliest cities in the nation is a point of pride for a lot of its residents. It is also, perhaps, why so many of its white collar work force are choosing to forgo the car to get to work.
>Click here to see tips on how to get started with commuting to work via bicycle, plus see comments from Twin Cities bike commuters about why they do it and what challenges they face:
>Marty Mathis, owner of Mathis Clothiers
>Amber Dallman, of MN Department of Health
>Jeremy Piller of StoneArch Creative
>Attorney Mark Thieroff
About 3.7 percent of all Minneapolis residents, and close to 1 percent of all St. Paul residents, commute to work by bike. In 2010, Minneapolis ranked fourth in bike commuting among the nation's 70 largest cities. The number of bike commuters increased by 44.6 percent in Minneapolis, and 32.5 percent in St. Paul, between 2005 and 2010, according to U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
And increasingly, working professionals are becoming part of these statistics.
One of the reasons for the increase is improved infrastructure, said Hilary Reeves, communications manager at Transit for Livable Communities. The Minneapolis/St. Paul area is one of four communities nationally to participate in a federal pilot program assessing results of direct funding to alternative transportation like biking and walking. The program funded 75 miles of new bike paths in Twin Cities since 2005. Minneapolis alone now has more than 160 miles of bike lanes.
Promotional campaigns like the Bike Walk Week organized by Bike Walk Twin Cities, or a social media-driven 30 Days of Biking event, also attract commuters, Reeves said.

The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board is in negotiations with Garden City Helicopters over a planned price hike in air ambulance services.
The Christchurch-based firm, which operates helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft services, submitted a schedule of increased prices last month, at which time the board met with the firm.
Both have agreed to review the current contract and a further meeting is planned.
Resource consent for the demolition of historic Dalton House has been approved, but is subject to an appeal period which closes tomorrow. If no appeal is received, final approval will be granted and the building will be knocked down.
Dalton House is in the Nelson Hospital grounds in Franklyn St and is listed as a category 2 building with the Historic Places Trust which earlier voiced its opposition to the demolition.
The financial result for December shows a net surplus of $609,000 which is $523,000 favourable to budget and $345,000 favourable to that forecast for the month, NMDHB corporate services general manager Nick Lanigan said in his financial report to board members.
The year to date result is a $1.1 million deficit which is $643,000 unfavourable to budget and $362,000 favourable to forecast.
Caseweights for December were 13 per cent over budget, acute procedures were 24 per cent over and electives were 7 per cent under.
As at January 7, there were 61 patients who had been waiting longer than five months for their first specialist assessment - up from 31 the previous month.
At the same time there were 50 patients waiting more than five months for surgical treatment - up from 27 the previous month, which reflects the Christmas-New Year shutdown period and will place the DHB under pressure to meet Elective Service Patient Flow Indicators compliance, interim chief executive Mike Cummins said in his report.
There were 64 patients (42 in Nelson and 22 in Wairau) whose surgical treatment was cancelled in December. Total year-to-date cancellations (financial year) are 402, with 287 in Nelson and 115 in Wairau.
Reasons ranged from the theatre list being overbooked to equipment/environmental failure, unwell patients, no beds available, emergency cases taking priority, patients cancelled, inadequate pre-operation preparation and operations no longer needed.
The board's health targets show that it sees and either admits or discharges 96.3 per cent of patients arriving at hospital emergency departments within the six-hour Ministry of Health guideline.
Faster cancer treatment waiting times have been introduced in general surgery departments, ear nose and throat and across all medical specialties.

Cathelicidin-type antimicrobial peptides (CAMP) are important mediators of innate immunity against microbial pathogens acting through direct interaction with and disruption of microbial membranes and indirectly through modulation of host cell migration and activation. Using a mouse knock-out model in CAMP we studied the role of this host peptide in control of dissemination of cutaneous infection by the parasitic protozoan Leishmania. The presence of pronounced host inflammatory infiltration in lesions and lymph nodes of infected animals was CAMP-dependent. Lack of CAMP expression was associated with higher levels of IL-10 receptor expression in bone marrow, splenic and lymph node macrophages as well as higher anti-inflammatory IL-10 production by bone marrow macrophages and spleen cells but reduced production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-12 and IFN-γ by lymph nodes. Unlike wild-type mice, local lesions were exacerbated and parasites were found largely disseminated in CAMP knockouts. Infection of CAMP knockouts with parasite mutants lacking the surface metalloprotease virulence determinant resulted in more robust disseminated infection than in control animals suggesting that CAMP activity is negatively regulated by parasite surface proteolytic activity. This correlated with the ability of the protease to degrade CAMP in vitro and co-localization of CAMP with parasites within macrophages. Our results highlight the interplay of antimicrobial peptides and Leishmania that influence the host immune response and the outcome of infection.

Master Roger Givens-Soul healing Miracle Preventative Maintenance For Health
in Spirituality
Please join Master Roger Givens for his weekly podcast on "Soul Healing Miracles for Preventative Maintenance for Health and Weight Loss." Please visit Master Roger's blog http://soulhealingforweightloss.blogspot.com/p/about-master-roger-givens.html
I became a Divine Channel and Worldwide Representative of Master Zhi Gang Sha to accomplish my life's mission, which is to serve the Divine, the Tao and all humanity.
I met Master Sha on May 31, 2005 on the way to see my cardiologist for my annual check-up. I had a 5-vessel heart bypass surgery 7 years earlier and had been experiencing heart-related symptoms again. While at the seminar, Master Sha asked if anyone had cancer and I raised my hand. Master Sha performed a Soul Operation on me to remove the blockages in my body. I felt great, and following a stress test a few days later, my doctor said my heart never looked better. The pre-cancerous spots around my mouth were gone within two weeks. I had a lymphoma removed just before meeting Master Sha and even though the Doctor said the tests showed he didn't get it all it has never returned.
Grateful, for the Divine saving my life through Master Sha, I studied with Master Sha and became a Worldwide Representative and Disciple and a Divine and Tao Channel. As a Certified Divine Direct Soul Communicator I have the rare ability to provide soul readings and guidance on any aspect of life when I read from the Akashic Records. Master Sha has given me the authority to do Divine Karma Cleansing associated with a condition or illness; Divine Downloads for a specific condition, organ or part of the body, Divine and Tao Crown Chakra Blessing and Divine Miracle Healing.

"These Dallas, TX rockers are equal bits Gary Clark Jr. and ZZ Ward, and we're happy to be premiering their track "Generator" whose delightful Tame Impala's "Elephant"-esque intro gives the track a propulsive spurt right out of the gates. It's off their upcoming LP, Adult Roommates, and we're ready to hear more." - Baebel Music
"Dallas-based Somebody's Darling have all the elements you would expect from a Southern rock band: Lead singer Amber Farris' commanding vocals, dominant guitars, powerful drums, and lyrics that make you pay attention." - CULTURE COLLiDE
"As lead singer of Somebody's Darling, this year's Dallas Observer Music Awards-winning country act, Amber Farris has a stage presence and voice that could rival any of the genre's heaviest hitters. Farris' vocals are raw,powerful and wholly unique, giving Somebody's Darling a sound that is immensely popular with local music fans. There are more young local bands than ever that are fronted by women, and Amber Farris is the example that they should all look up to." - Dallas Observer
Their name may sound like a soft lullaby, but Somebody's Darling are anything but sleepy. A little bit Gary Clark Jr. with a hint of ZZ Ward, the talented five piece jam bluesy rock 'n' roll tunes that are big and commanding in every possible way - from lead singer Amber Farris' impressive vocal chops and wild blonde hair to the band's ballsy rhythm section and grooving guitar licks. The group has opened for some great acts including Brandi Carlile, St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Shovels & Rope, Lucero, Deer Tick and Divine Fits. Now together for over 500 shows and three albums, their most recent release, 2014's Adult Roommates, take a mature and sometimes stark look at what it means to be a working band, from the on-stage chemistry to the crazy off-stage antics - summarized perfectly in the smoky fifth track, "End of the Line", where Farris croons, "This is the oldest we have been. This is the youngest we will ever be."

Military babes give Israeli tourism a jolt
It's a pity there isn't a Cannes Lion for the Most Tarted-Up Tourism Campaign. An effort cooked up by Israeli officials would be a finalist, at least. As the New York Post reports, it features some pretty hot-looking babes, including 2004 Miss Israel winner Gal Gadot (shown here). And this Gal has got the goods, dressed to thrill in a bikini that covers about 3 percent of her well-endowed body. (We're sure her mind is beautiful, too). As part of the campaign, the Israelis collaborated with lad mag Maxim on a feature called "Women of the Israeli Defense Forces." They are a man-eating bunch, and the poor bastards who try to take them on don't stand a chance. But some party-poopers in the Israeli parliament are calling the campaign "pornographic." Which it isn't. No one is having sex. Granted, Gal is spread eagle, back arched and seems to be saying with her eyes, "Take me big boy, I'm yours," but no one is actually doing it. As one of the campaign's orchestrators, David Saranga of the Israeli consulate, puts it, "We want to show that we are a normal society, like others." Why does that make me think of the good old U.S. of A.? Oh, right—because of the new show NBC announced last week, Without Breasts There Is No Paradise. Breast obsession. Perfectly normal.

In this sequel to Y Square, Yagate's got his eye on the handsome athlete, Ra-Myun, who in turn finds himself in an intimate embrace with Ju-Jin!

Recent Bali reviews
"Stayed at beautiful Rumah Cahaya for a week in August and had the most amazing stay. The location of the villa was absolutely perfect for our needs. Walking through the rice field on the villas private path enjoying the sights and sounds of Bali is an experience I will never forget. The Villa is isolated but still only a five minute walk to the Bintang market and one of our favorite restaurants The Yellow Flower Cafe. It was about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of Ubud but if you didn't feel up for the walk it was very easy to get a taxi. Rumah Cahaya is a large house with the most beautiful grounds and a very large pool which we enjoyed immensely! The outdoor bathrooms were such an exotic treat, nothing like taking a bath enjoy the stars in the night sky. The owner Bruce has set the house up beautifully, thinking of small details such as flashlights and a cellphone for guest use. But, truly what made our stay amazing was the wonderful staff. Juli the house manager was so kind and helpful. Our first night we arrived exhausted after traveling about 30 hours, just wanting a shower and light dinner. Juli was kind enough to order our dinner from a wonderful local warring, go pick it up so we could enjoy a beautiful meal without leaving the Villa. Juli also help us arrange tours and was always a phone call away if we needed anything. Maya, the cook/housecleaner was a gem. She made us beautiful breakfasts each morning, nothing was to much trouble. Her banana pancakes were delicious! And then there was Bapak the groundkeeper. An amazing man always with the biggest most welcoming smile. Villa Rumah Cahaya is a truly magical place! Thank you Bruce for sharing your home with us."
"Nice quiet retreat in Ubud, surrounded by nature. A 10 minute walk to the main street. Close to great coffee houses and restaurants. Perfect home base to visit the island. Bear in mind that the kitchen area is outdoors and that you are woken up very early each morning by roosters (you may actually miss them when you leave however)."
"What an absolutely wonderful villa. I am not sure where to start? - As soon as we arrived the driver met us with an amazing smile. When we arrived at the villa and met Pleo. Could anyone be nicer and more polite? The villa is exactly as described. Pleo arrived daily to make us a wonderful breakfast, checked in on us to make sure everything we OK. Even came to get us on New Years Eve to tell us our driver was waiting for us. The private pool was exceptional. Once we locked the door the villa became our oasis. Komang arrived daily (with the help of Pleo) to give me some of the best massages I have ever had. Thank you our wonderful driver who patiently drove us around daily and back to the airport at 5:00AM. Pleo for everything. You are truly amazing. Komang - the massages are awesome. Jennifer for sharing your wonderful villa."
"Robin Sparks has created a beautiful and quiet Villa in the lush jungle of Ubud, also with stunning rice patty views. Her staff takes care of many needs, including picking us up from the airport, taking us all around town; her housekeeper makes delicious fresh juices, beautiful breakfasts, and has done our laundry impeccably. This villa, with a beautiful pool and lovely Balinese details, makes you want to stay here and relax to your hearts content. Then, all the activities in Ubud and surrounding areas are close. Whether you rent a scooter or use her wonderful driver, this place will be a haven for your trip to Bali! We highly recommend it!"

'Idol' Winner Phillip Phillips and PS 22 Cover Oasis and Michael Jackson for Hurricane Sandy Relief (Video)
The Season 11 champion teamed up with the New York children's choir for a Stageit.com concert benefiting the regions devastated by last month's hurricane.
Phillip Phillips teamed up with the students of Staten Island's PS22 Chorus this Thursday for a concert benefit for areas devastated by Hurricane Sandy.
The 30-minute concert, which was streamed on Stageit.com, included covers of "Wonderwall" by Oasis and "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. As a bonus, Phillips treated the students to a performance of two new songs, "Gone, Gone, Gone," and "Man on the Moon," from his forthcoming CD, "The World from the Side of the Moon."
PHOTOS: American Idol Season 11 Live Tour
Additionally, Phillips sang an acoustic version of the Judy Garland musical theater classic, "The Trolley Song," from the show Meet Me in St. Louis, on a dare from Z100 jock Elvis Duran, who pledged $6,000 upon the performance. Phillips obliged with an assist from the choir.
"I don't know if it's going to sound pretty... but they're going to make it sound pretty, so here we go," he laughed.
In addition, the American Idol Season 11 winner, who bantered with the kids throughout the show, autographed an acoustic guitar to be auctioned to the highest bidder.
According to chorus director Gregg Breinberg, Phillips, who saw a video of the chorus performing his hit, "Home" on YouTube, reached out to the chorus with an idea to do a concert for charity, and plans got a bit twisted when Sandy hit.
"It was originally planned as a benefit for a different charity, and they were looking at doing it at Radio City Music Hall or a bigger venue," Breinberg told the Staten Island Advance ."[After the hurricane] we were pretty devastated, so I spoke to my principal and Phillip's manager to say we really had to do something that's gonna benefit Staten Island. They were on board immediately. Turns out they were already thinking along the same lines, so it was an easy sell."
Proceeds from the show will go to the Red Cross and the Stephen Stiller Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Tallies from the Nov. 15 show have not been released yet.

Hi everyone I am in need of a chess mentor. Preferably someone over 1500. I am in desperate need to learn things that YouTube cannot teach me. I am about 1000 but in the past days my score has been going down drastically. I'd like to know if anyone would want to help me via skype. My username on skype: destructpatrol
Hello mmcmd

I have just got my shiny new Samsung Ace and want to music stored on my sd card as a ringtone. When I go to phone ringtone on sound settings, all I can see are ringtones, likewise on notification ringtone.
Can anyone help?

I have s2, but should be similar. Set it through your music app, not phone settings. Open your music files, select your track you want for ring tone and in menu options you should be able to choose set as ringtone

Thanks for that. The music has now become a ringtone on the phone ringtone list. It has not appeared on the notification ringtone, do you know how to get a music track there?
I've had a look on the music settings but nothing jumps out!
Thanks for your help

Was there not an option to set as current ringtone? If not, then can you now select that ringtone through your sound settings?

No, the option was to "use as ringtone" and then the track appeared in the ringtone list accessed through sound settings, under incoming calls, phone ringtone.
The notifications option has notification ringtone and the track does not appear.

Sorry, I don't think I can help further, your phone is different to mine. I can only suggest Google
