Miley and Liam are so adorable! In a brand new pic, they are seen cuddling and looking affectionate at an LA theater. Are all their problems over, or is this a showmance?
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth made their first public appearance together in five months, and they are showing a lot of PDA! Miley and Liam went to the ArcLight Cinemas in LA on June 17 to see Man of Steel, and they appearing to be trying to put break up rumors to rest with their public display.
Miley Cyrus & Liam Hemsworth's Date Night
Miley, 20, and Liam, 23, showed up at the theater to see the new Superman film, and they were pictured in the parking lot looking super adorable.
They were holding hands, Miley was grabbing Liam's arm, and at one point he touched her lower back protectively.
So are Miley and Liam more in love than ever, or is this a showmance? A top body language expert Dr Lillian Glass thinks that they are playing it up for the camera.
Liam & Miley: Fake It To Make It?
Dr Glass thinks that Liam shows Miley no affection, and that there is a lot of distance between them.
She says:
Miley walks behind him and he ignores her. She is the one who grabs his arm, but he doesn't reciprocate. They look in different directions and there is too much space between them. They both look down and don't acknowledge one another. All of this indictes that there is a lot of tension and emotional hurt between them, especially on Liam's part as he shows no affection towards her and doesn't reciprocate her attempts at being affectionate. He treats her as though she isn't even there.
Yikes! We think Miley and Liam look really cute, so hopefully they are back on the right track.
What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Do YOU think Miley and Liam look cuter than ever?

Honestly I think that they should just break up already, Miley changed a lot. Everyone's all like omg leave mileyvalone she happy and she can do whatever she want to her body. Her new look is cute. But seriously people she looks terrible. Open your eyes. I was happy for her when she was on that gluten diet and he was happy and then she got engaged, but now she acts and looks like a slut especially in her new song. Which by the way she sounds terrible in! Even Liam's brothers want him o break up with her. He's probably debating whether or not to stay with her or not. She probably not the same person she was when he proposed.

In Labor
Is this labor or not?
- Early labor comes on gently and doesn't pick up;
- Early labor comes... and then goes
- Labor comes at night and leaves during the daylight; or
- Labor comes on strong and then stops. And tries to start again, only to stop again.
What's the deal? "Is my starter broken?" Why can't labor get rolling? Here's why...
Typically, women are told that
Women may be told that:
Women aren't usually told that
Rest and the right maternal position will solve most of these. Go back to the First Principle, Balance, to make more room for the baby and once labor resumes, the baby may be able to fit the next time surges build up strong again.
Early labor comes on gently and doesn't pick up;
Early labor comes... and then goes; or
Labor comes at night and leaves during the daylight:
Hormones increase at the end of pregnancy helping prepare for actual labor. A rhythm of coming on at night is often hormonally related. These "practice" contractions are often called Braxton-Hicks. My friend calls them "Squeezies." They can be painless and thought to be the baby moving or "balling up," or they can be quite intense making a woman feel that she will have having the baby that day. The thing is, these don't change the cervix.
Don't be shy about checking in with your provider. Better safe than... surprised!
Labor comes on strong and then stops. And tries to start again, only to stop again.
Sometimes these are simply warm-up or practice contractions as described above. But when they begin in the daylight or after fetal movement, and don't change the cervix, then consider if the baby is
- Trying to change position, from posterior to anterior or breech to head down, for instance
- Successful at changing position (though it may not be the position you hoped for, so check it out)
- Trying to engage in the pelvis
Is baby Engaged?
- Natural labor often progresses when Balance activities are started first.
- Help baby engage by helping baby flex or tuck their chin.
- The Abdominal Lift is often amazingly helpful.
- IV Pitocin or Syntocin may make contractions strong enough to rotate, flex or otherwise make baby descend when natural methods either don't work or aren't known.
- Walcher's Brim Opening Position helps when contractions are regular.
Dilated to 3 cm yet?
But what if the bag of water has released?
A letter from a woman who can't tell if she is in labor or not, but thinks so.
"Hi, Gail, I really need some advice. i think i am in early labour, cramping, lots of irregular painful contractions, loose bowels i have been like this for nearly 3 days. I am getting frustrated because my back is really hurting too and I can't figure position of baby.
I have been told its posterior. I have been trying for days for a couple of hours each day to do all the exercises but nothing has changed except baby has been trying to move in the night.
I feel very tired because of the cramps at night i don't know how much longer i can go on for like this."
My reply,
"Your baby's position isn't causing this type of back ache, rather your uterine position is. To help release the twist in your lower uterus, you can do a number of things.
At home:
Try a complete Forward-leaning inversion on the stairs with your chin tucked. Have a helper to guard you. Kneel at the top of a short flight of stairs and crawl your hands down about three steps. Brace your elbows on that step and keep your knees on the landing above the stairs. Your helper is below you with their hands on your shoulders. Hold this position for 30-seconds or three breaths. Keep your chin tucked.
"Lean forward during contractions with knees slightly bent, move as you instinctually feel such an urge to do so with the contractions. Straighten your legs between contractions occasionally to rest your legs. When you lay down, rRest forward. Lean over a ball or back of the couch when kneeling on the couch.
"Try the Abdominal Lift and Tuck with your belly DURING your contractions.
If you can see a body worker,
Receive a standing sacral release and an abdominal release from a myofascial release person, cranio sacral therapist or a chiropractor that is trained in myofascial release. The Webster Maneuver, done by Chiropractors with the additional training, is one form of release for the round ligaments.
For those crampy contractions that do not lead to labor, some women have tried these things:
- Have a pot of red raspberry leaf tea (bulk not tea bag). The minerals in the tea seem to help reduce leg cramps and uterine "irritability."
- Chewable calcium. (I don't suggest an antacid with calcium because I worry about heavy metals and a further disruption of stomach acid.)
- A shower or deep bath, lay on your side with a towel rolled up between your knees and thighs to relax your ligaments.
- Have a perception change. Don't think of this as labor. Your hormones are revving up. The Red Raspberry Leaf tea will help. Mind you this isn't raspberry flavored black tea, it is the real Red Raspberry plant leaf.
- Try and sleep and be in the moment.
- Eat drink and let your mind go so you can sleep.
- Review what your caregiver said about when to call, but let your mind get off the clock otherwise.
Caution, if contractions come before your baby is developed enough for it to be safe for your baby to be born
Before 37 weeks gestation or a week over 8 months, uterine contractions should not open the cervix.
If you are having 4 or more contractions in an hour, or if they feel strong with downward pressure, back pressure, blood, or water coming from your vagina, call your provider or go to your provider or a hospital immediately.
After you are past this crisis, drink plenty of pure water (I suggest 3 quarts daily, though 1 quart could be unsweetened red raspeberry leaf tea (the leaves not flavored black tea!), eat 4-6 protein servings a day, leafy green veggies daily, and a bit of salt-to-taste, as well as other healthy foods.
Body work, particularly the standing sacral release may reduce premature contractions. But you must be in touch with your provider and don't wait hoping these will pass.

Pitcher Grace Hutcherson McDonald's student athlete of the week
This week, we're at softball practice with the Blue Streaks of Lake High School and senior Grace Hutcherson. Grace is the ace pitcher and outfielder for the Blue Streaks. But she is more than a pitcher.
"She not just a pitcher, she's a hitter, too. She's one of our best hitters -- she has been since she's been here. Very consistent, just like on the mound, she's a great player," said head coach Julie Boyes.
Grace is not only good on the softball field but in the classroom, as well. She's a member of student council, Latin club, physics and math club. With a 3.96 grade point average, Grace had some help with her success.
"I have awesome parents, support. My parents have always been behind me in everything. They cheer me on at softball games, encourage me to work hard, to make good grades at school and I have great teachers to help me with that, too," said Grace Hutcherson.
Grace wants to play softball in college and major in bio medical engineering.
Congratulations, Grace Hutcherson, the McDonald's student athlete of the week.

Rheagan Courville was born on March 26, 1993. She began her gymnastics career at young age of five and has been training gymnastics for next eight years. Rheagan is at the highest level of gymnastics, international elite. She trained under Johnny Moyal and Jessica Connor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana at Elite Gymnastics where Carly Patterson used to train before she moved to Texas until the summer of 2009. Rheagan moved to Gymnasiana. She began training at Louisiana Gymnastics Training Center in the fall of 2010.
Rheagan was a Level 7 State Champion, Level 8 State Champion, and Level 8 Regional Champion. Her Level 7 season was so successful, she only placed lower than second in one meet. The impressive showing continued through her Level 8 season where she won every competition she has entered in. She only competed one meet as a Level 9 and went straight to being a Level 10 gymnast. Eleven-year-old won three competitions as soon as she entered as a Level 10 in 2004. Rheagan qualified to the Regionals where she placed third in all-around and came home with two gold medals on balance beam and floor exercise. Rheagan ended her season being a Junior Olympic Competitor.
In 2005, twelve-year-old Rheagan qualified to international elite from a training camp in Texas on her first attempt. She also qualified directly to the VISA Championships. She, however, injured her elbow and missed the VISA Championships. She rehabilitated her elbow and got prepared for the new code in the next year. In the beginning of 2006, Rheagan qualified directly to the VISA Championships from the May Training Camp by winning all-around, vault, balance beam, and floor exercise.
Rheagan competed at US Classic in Kansas City, Missouri. Even though she already qualified to the VISA Championships, she used it as a practice meet. She showed very impressive results on all events except for uneven bars which she did not compete. Rheagan was still very new to the elite scene when she entered into her first VISA Championships. She had very impressive results at the first day of prelims, placing tenth all-around out of thirty-two gymnasts! She also placed seventh on vault, eleventh on balance beam, and tied for third on floor exercise. Rheagan only competed three events on the second day of the VISA Championships because of her old injury. She placed sixth on balance beam and eighth on floor exercise.
In 2007, Rheagan continued competing as a junior international elite. She won beam and finished second all-around at the American Classic. At the US Classic, Rheagan won the all-around title! She also won beam and finished second on floor. Her next meet was the US National Championships. Rheagan finished fifth all-around! She made her first US National Team. She spent 2008 recovering from an injury. She returned in 2009. She competed on two events at the Metroplex Challenge and WOGA Classic. She won vault at the WOGA Classic. At the Parkette Elite Qualifier, she had the highest score on bars, beam, floor and the all-around. She also re-qualified to international elite. At the US Classic, Rheagan qualified for the Visa Championships. A lower leg injury kept her out of the meet.
After Rheagan's 2009 season, she moved to Gymnasiana to train under Coach Paul Gautreau. Rheagan began her 2010 season at the Arizona National Elite Qualifier, where she finished sixth in the all-around. At the Florida National Elite Qualifier, she placed second in the all-around and first on balance beam. There, she qualified to the VISA Championships in Hartford, CT. At the Texas Elite Qualifier, she placed second in the all-around and first on vault, balance beam and floor exercise. Rheagan then traveled to Chicago, IL for the US Covergirl Classic, where she finished 10th in the all-around and seventh on floor exercise. At the VISA Championships, she placed tenth overall in the senior division. After Rheagan's 2010 season, she moved to Louisiana Gymnastics Training Center (LA GTC) to train under coach Susan Jackson. She competed one meet in 2011 at the Metroplex Challenge where she placed second on uneven bars, balance beam and in the all-around. She decided not to compete in the 2011 season to focus on NCAA.
In 2012, Rheagan become the seventh freshman in LSU history to earn First-Team All-American and she is the only one of three LSU freshmen to earn multiplte First-Team All-American honors. Rheagan led the team with 17 individual titles with seven on vault, four in the all-around and two on uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise. She finished the season ranked No. 3 nationally on vault with a 9.930 RQS and No. 8 in the all-around with a 39.450 RQS. Rheagan also earned First-Team All-SEC and Freshman All-SEC honors by placing third in the all-around at the SEC Championships with a 39.450.
Rheagan had an excellent sophomore season in 2013. She won vault at the NCAA Championships! She also placed second all-around. Rheagan earned three first-team All-American honors at the NCAA Championships and three first-team regular season All-American honors. Rheagan won nine all-around titles throughout the season. She was named the Central Region Gymnast of the Year and SEC Gymnast of the Year. She won vault, beam and the all-around at the SEC Championships, earning All-SEC honors. Rheagan scored a perfect 10.0 on vault at the SEC Championships. During the regular season, Rheagan won a title of 28 individual titles including nine in the all-around, seven on vault, six on beam, four on bars and two on floor. She earned two SEC Gymnast of the Week honors. Rheagan was also on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.
As a junior in 2014, Rheagan won 26 individual titles including eight in the all-around, seven on vault, four on bars, four on beam and three on floor. She won vault at the NCAA National Championships. She earned first-team All-American honors on vault, bars and the all-around. She earned regular season All-American first-team honors on vault and the all-around and second-team on bars, beam and floor. Rheagan scored multiple perfect 10.0s on vault. She was named SEC Gymnast of the Week. She was named NACGC/W Central Region Gymnast of the Year for the second straight season. She also earned All-SEC honors and was on the SEC Academic Honor Roll.

B-but now I have to get a job. I got the applications to Barnes and Nobel and this bakery place (FREE FOOD HOLY CRUD) b-but I'm getting nervous because I've never really worked part-time or anything before and I suck at presenting myself at interviews and stuff since I'm terribly shy IRL with people I don't know. And I half to drive all the way to somewhere to get my work permit ugh; how complicated.
AND RECENTLY, I've been watching Medabots, that show with the robots that was on TV forever ago and it brought back so many nostalgic childhood memories and stuff... Erggggg... It's hilarious though haha.
BUT OKAY. Summer is the time to improve my art and stuff. IMPROVE. IMPROOOOOVEEE.

Android accounts for 79% of mobile malware and iOS 0.7%, according to report by F-Secure
Posted By Ashraf On March 10, 2013 @ 12:46 AM In Android,iOS | 4 Comments
F-Secure, a security firm, has released their Mobile Threat Report for Q4 2012 and the trend is not surprising: Android has a bullseye on its back.
Accounting for a whopping 79% of 301 new malware discovered in 2012, Android is on top of the list when it comes to mobile operating system with most malware. iOS, the challenger to Android, sits at a measly 0.7% and likely wouldn't even be on the list at all if it weren't for cross-platform malware like FinSpy.
Does this mean Android is less secure than iOS? After all, both are very popular yet there aren't as many malware for iOS. Right? Wrong. The reason for more Android malware than iOS malware is two-pronged:
Because Android has a larger user base and it is easier to install non-Play Store apps on Android than on iOS, Android is an easier target for malware distributors. And if I know anything about hackers, it is that the vast majority are lazy in the sense that if a target is too hard to breach, they simply move onto the next one. In this case, Android has a softer underbelly than iOS.
Now, some may say: "Doesn't that make iOS better?" It depends; it depends on your needs and wants. If you like the iPhone and the iPad and don't mind only having access to apps Apple deems appropriate (which, frankly speaking, most people don't have an issue with), then iOS is the better platform for you. However, if you prefer having a choice in what device to get (e.g. screen size, specifications, price, etc.) and don't want to be shackled to one official app store, then Android is the clear winner. Just be sure to only download from trusted sources.
Also, as a parting note, it is important to put "mobile malware" into perspective. 301 new malware was discovered by F-Secure in 2012. Just 301. There are thousands of new malware discovered every year targeting desktop computers, notably Windows. While 301 new malware shouldn't be written off as insignificant, it isn't much cause for concern either. However, if mobile malware continues to grow at the pace it has for the past couple years, then there will be cause for concern very soon.

Running Ubuntu as a Virtual OS in Mac OS X
In the end, I did have a fully functional Ubuntu Linux running within each of the two virtualization environments—one was sufficiently fast that when I put it into full-screen mode on my 2.3GHz MacBook Pro running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1, I really could use it for editing documents, surfing the Net and experimenting with Ubuntu and Linux graphical apps. In fact, I was rather surprised by how snappy the operating system was within these environments, as I'd run Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista within the virtualization world and had found it functional, but not comparable to a real PC. Linux within the virtualization world, however, was quite pleasantly snappy and very usable.
This leaves us the fundamental question with which we started, why? If you have a logical reason to run a full Linux distro on your Mac for testing or experimentation, or to gain access to applications not otherwise available within the Mac OS X world, this is a satisfying path to travel.

Mac OS X's Unarchive Utility and Passwords
Wow. I think he gets the message. Mac OS X is UNIX, not Linux because of its NeXTSTEP origins.
Anyways, you /didn't/ have to re-download anything. Mac OS X's default unarchiver can't handle password protected archives (though it never explicitly warns of that) - and it looks like you inadvertently invoked that instead of whatever app you had intended. Next time, remember (and use) either the app's shortcut key or control-click and use the context menu to unarchive to make sure you invoke the right program. Or you can reassign the filetype altogether in cmd-I.
I just wanted to say that
I just wanted to say that having the vote star ajax thing above the article prompted me to just try it out and give it one star. it should be placed below the article so people might read before voting...
Mac OS X is built around a
Mac OS X is built around a *fully* compliant 100% certified UNIX kernel. There is no Linux there. Apple is the world's largest supplier of UNIX-based machines...
You left out VirtualBox -- which also runs on Mac OS X. I use it quite a bit with various operating systems and it does a really good job as well.

not only does X11 run on
not only does X11 run on unix, that's where it was fucking created. linux is the late comer to this game. i like linux as much as the next engineer, but seriously, the opening lines of this article were so inaccurate i gave up and stopped reading.
OS X = Unix
linux ≠ Unix
linux is "unix-like", and linux isn't a fucking OS, it's a KERNEL. get it through your fucking heads.
It took me until he said all
It took me until he said all operating systems were free except for Windows. Last I checked, there was a price tag on Leopard.
sounds like a pissed off asshole to me.
Who pissed in your corn flakes? You seem like the type to "help" users by giving code to wipe out drives. Go smoke some weed.
or maybe ....
Or maybe someone who gets tired of misleading information, especially when it comes from an authority like Linux Journal.
Not being able to have desktop effects via Compiz is what bugs me most about running virtual.
Why virtualize?
Although Mac OS X is built upon BSD, I was having some trouble getting some bioinformatics C++ code to compile on my Mac. As such, I used VMWare Fusion and Ubuntu 7.10 Server, and it worked great (I already had a few other Ubuntu servers doing the same thing). I was able to allocate one of the quad-cores as well as 4 GB of RAM just to that virtualization.
I haven't used Parallels, so I can't speak to that, but certainly here is at least one example of why someone might want to virtualize Linux on a Mac.
Nice article!
Mallory not Hillary
Just a little correction - the quote you allude to in the 3rd paragraph "Because it is there" was made by George Mallory not Sir Edmund Hillary.
Wow! Thats amazing ! You
Wow! Thats amazing ! You used a virtual machine to store...a...virtual machine...
Next up you should open up the chess app to see if it really plays chess!
Free alternatives to Fusion and Parallels.
i know of at least two free alternatives to Fusion and Parallels. One is VirtualBox, and the other is Q. I would recommend VirtualBox over Q, as VirtualBox is much more polished, but Q is lighter weight, and can be installed without admin privileges. Check both out if you don't have the cash, or just want to experiment without investment.
Parallels is not a "Mac-only company"
There is a version of Parallels for Windows too
There is also Parallels Server and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers.
It does not inspire confidence when an article has this many basic errors...
Yawn, OS X as a guest OS and
Yawn, OS X as a guest OS and Linux as the host OS using Virtual Box, now there is a worthy article.
Use Sun VirtualBox, works GREAT
Save all your money. Use Sun VirtualBox (FREE) and Unbutu (FREE) on OSX and it runs great.
I have it running right now! Works great.
Mac OS X is built on top of UNIX not Linux.
Mac OS X is built around a *fully* compliant 100% certified UNIX kernel. There is no Linux there. Apple is the world's largest supplier of UNIX-based machines.
"Built atop NetBSD, there's
"Built atop NetBSD, there's quite a bit of Linux sitting there..."
Mac OS X is built atop the Mach kernel, using FreeBSD userland tools and the Objective C based interface from NeXT/OPENStep(to the best of my understanding) and again there is no Linux "sitting" there...
well said A. Seda
There are a couple of inaccuracies in this story... Mac OS X is NOT built off of Linux, it is built off of Unix. Please correct this, as the open source fanboys do NOT like it when you mistake the two.
Secondly, not only is Mac OS X 10.4 called Tiger and NOT Panther, you can NOT download Boot Camp for Tiger from Apple's web site. Boot Camp is currently only available for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
How much RAM
How much RAM do you have on your Mac Book and how much did you dedicate to Ubuntu ?
I think you might want to clarify some things in your second paragraph.
"...already has a very nice Linux distro hidden beneath Mac OS X..."
In all cases what is beneath Mac OS X is Unix or Unix like, not Linux.
"Built atop NetBSD, there's quite a bit of Linux sitting there..."
Mac OS X is built atop the Mach kernel, using FreeBSD userland tools and the Objective C based interface from NeXT/OPENStep(to the best of my understanding) and again there is no Linux "sitting" there...
Overall is very nice article....
Virtualization software
As well as Parallels & VMware, there's the free, open source virtualization software called VirtualBox (http://www.virtualbox.org)
Also, you can just download a LiveCD of the distro of your choice and install that way (no matter which virtualization software you use), straight from the .iso file - no need to download a virtual disk.
Wow, you missed the point.
Wow, you missed the point. Sure, you could download a live cd, but Dave's method saves you the install. You aren't downloading a 'virtual disk', but a pre-configured VM w/ guest tools installed already.
You might want to clarify your opening paragraphs; it almost sounds like you're saying that NetBSD and Linux are the same things. OS X is built on top of a Mach kernel derived mostly from FreeBSD, with some chunks from NetBSD as well. X11 runs on the BSDs and other Unixes as well as Linux.
After that, well done :)
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal."

Espresso characters make their 'print' debut in a new series of children's books
(16th February 2011)
Espresso Education, the leading digital curriculum provider for primary schools, has teamed up with publishing company Franklin Watts to launch Phonics - the first of three series of children's books. The books bring alive the popular Espresso characters - Sal, Ash, Kim, Polly and Scully - who 'star' in the popular Espresso Primary service, to engage learners in literacy and topic work.
The first series of twelve titles to be launched this spring supports the teaching of reading through phonics. Recent headlines paint a gloomy picture: one in five children at the age of seven struggles to spell simple words. As a result, proficiency of reading by age six has been set as a specific priority by Michael Gove, Education Secretary. In November, he announced a phonics-based progress check in Year 1 to allow teachers to identify children not reading at level and to introduce remedial strategies. The use of Synthetic phonics in developing reading skills has regained popularity amongst education professionals and is a method supported by government.
The bold and colourful new book series is carefully graded and each book supports the teaching of reading through synthetic phonics. The fun stories introduce the characters and follow them in situations that children can relate to - such as Kim's Big Bed. Each book includes a simple puzzle for children to spot the rhyming words and an 'Espresso Connections' section that suggests further activities that can be found on the Espresso Primary digital service. This allows for a 'blended solution' where books and digital curriculum work together in a classroom setting, although the educational books can also 'stand alone' and be enjoyed on their own.
This phonics series will be followed shortly by a series of eight short story readers called 'Story Time' and a series of six non-fiction books called 'Ideas Box' that explore popular thematic topics, such as Chocolate and The Olympics, in a cross-curricular format.
Lewis Bronze, CEO of Espresso, says:
"We are very pleased that our much-loved Espresso characters have been successfully translated into print format - it's brought a fresh and new dimension to their personalities and lives. It's always been our mission to create high quality resources that make learning fun but are firmly grounded in the curriculum. These books further support this mission and it is our hope that teachers and children alike will benefit greatly from them."
Rachel Cooke, Publishing Director for Franklin Watts, says:
"With so much emphasis on digital learning, Franklin Watts' partnership with Espresso is a timely reminder of the important role books still play in children's education. They enrich the learning experience, broadening it from the classroom and putting it, quite literally, in the hands of the child. In the case of phonics, the Espresso characters give children a familiar world to practice and build their new reading skills, using their phonetic awareness to decode and enjoy real, satisfying stories."
At this Education Show, Espresso will literally bring Sal and her friends to life with a chance for schools to win a life size cardboard cut-out of one the Espresso characters. To take a first look at these exciting new books visit Stand O56 at the Education Show or www.education-show.com to enter the prize draw and take Sal home!

Funk and disco are respectively represented by a pair of undoubted classics: Rick James' "Super Freak" and Chic's hit "Le Freak."
More modern flavor gets mixed in with MIssy Elliott's "We Run This," from her 2005 album The Cookbook. It's not the most desirable dance track we'd like to see from the hip-hop beat master's repertoire, but it's a start. There's also a track from Amerie -- don't feel bad if the name doesn't ring any bells -- and she, too, has a couple of other tracks that'd be nice to see available in Dance Central at some point.
Available for Dance Central on February 15 for 240 MSP ($3) per track:
- Chic – "Le Freak"
- Missy Elliott – "We Run This"
- Rick James – "Super Freak"
- Amerie – "Heard 'Em All"

Neither of them, nor Jorge's twin sister Raquel, knows that their dad Philbert might never come home again. And their mom, Luz Preciado, wants it to stay that way. "I tell them that their dad went on a trip," she says. "I want them to keep the good image they have of him. He's their role model."
Philbert Armenteros is a singer and percussionist best known for his throbbing, hypnotic rhythms rooted in Afro-Cuban tradition. He has performed and recorded with internationally renowned acts such as Don Dinero and Yerba Buena. And his burly six-foot-three frame and gold-tooth smile are fixtures in Miami's Latin music scene, where he has played with numerous groups, among them Palo!, the Nag Champayons, and his own band, Aina.
Music is not only a job but also a form of worship for Armenteros, a Santería priest who has played regularly at drumming ceremonies, where he beckoned the gods to Earth with fierce batá rhythms.
Now Armenteros, who has a green card and has lived in the United States for more than a decade, has been detained by immigration officials and is facing deportation. The 28-year-old has been at the Krome Detention Center since this past August 10. The apparent reason: He pled guilty to stealing three polo shirts and a couple of sweater vests from a Dillard's department store more than seven years ago.
"It's really ridiculous," says Anna Bryant, who tends bar at Jazid, a hip South Beach club where Armenteros played regularly. "So many people who live in this country do much worse things and only get a slap on the wrist. If he leaves, we're losing a really amazing person and a great musician. And what for?"
Armenteros was born in late Seventies Havana and early on discovered his twin passions -- Santería and music. His family was made up of santeros, or Santería priests. And his great grandmother, Mercedes Alfredo, danced and sang with the well-known rumba group Clave y Guaguanco, as well on Radio Cadena Havana and at Santería ceremonies. She served as Armenteros's spiritual guide and taught him music and dance while he was still a toddler. By age five, he was performing at ceremonies and festivals. He continued to drum and sing his way through Cuba until moving to Miami eleven years ago.
Almost as soon as he arrived here, Armenteros began getting into trouble. In December 1995, police picked him up for shoplifting, but the charges were eventually dropped. Seven months later, police charged him with possession of one joint and a small package of cocaine, according to court documents. This time he was released without a trial on the condition that he complete a drug treatment program, which he eventually did.
For a while Armenteros steered clear of the law. Then, on January 16, 1998, he walked into a Dillard's department store in Broward toting a gift box covered in green Christmas wrapping. The box had a slit on one side, and Armenteros shoved three polo shirts and two sweater vests, valued at $365, into it. He then attempted to leave, but an officer nabbed him outside the store. In March of that year, Armenteros pled guilty to grand theft and received three years' probation. Grand theft is considered an aggravated felony, a deportable offense, according to a 1996 federal law.
Homeland Security spokesperson Barbara Gonzalez wouldn't specify why Armenteros has been detained, but Preciado says it's because of the Dillard's incident.
In August 1998, Armenteros was arrested again for violating probation by smoking marijuana and failing to pay fines. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail. During this turbulent period, Armenteros met Preciado at a Santería drumming ceremony in Naples, Florida. She was seventeen years old and pretty, with soft, almond-shape eyes and a smattering of freckles sprinkled across her round face. "We started talking, and we hit it off right away," Preciado says. Within months, she was pregnant. And in July 1999, when Armenteros was 21 years old, their eldest son, Eric, arrived. In August 2002, Preciado gave birth again, this time to the twins, Jorge and Raquel.
For the first five years, the couple's relationship was bumpy, but Preciado says Armenteros was always a deeply devoted father. There were no new criminal charges, and his musical career flourished. He also began helping to organize music showcases, such as the Afro Roots World Music Festival, and became involved in projects to educate people about traditional Cuban music and culture, particularly his religion, Santería. He wrote regularly for Olofin.com, an online Santería magazine, and he recently made a presentation at Florida International University. "His goal is to dissolve fear," says José Elias, who plays guitar in Armenteros's band.
Armenteros began teaching his own children Afro-Cuban music and dance while they were still in diapers, and took them to Cuba to be initiated as santeros when Eric was three and the twins were five months old. He returned to Cuba with the children in May 2004 for ritual animal sacrifices, which he believed would protect them. During the trip, Preciado says, thieves broke into Armenteros's rental car and snatched his Sony digital camera along with his passport and green card.

Chris Dupont is working on his much-anticipated release, "Anxious Animal." Intimate, melodic, dynamic tunes, recorded in unique spaces.
About this project
Dear family and friends!
I am making a record that I need you to hear.
Last spring, I wrote a handful of songs very quickly, and they turned out to be the most honest, stripped-down, intimate pieces I had ever come up with.
I started playing them at shows before they even had real song titles. Some were given hastily chosen "working titles," like "Scare the Bear" and "Worry the Wolf." Strangely enough, listeners latched onto the titles and found a mythology in these songs that I didn't even know was there. My band and I affectionately deemed this collection of songs "Anxious Animal."
These tunes have made strong, instant connections with my listeners. I can not wait to get them onto a CD and into your headphones.
I'm already hard at work laying down tracks. I have a fantastic band of collaborators, and a handful of great audio engineers helping bring the project to life. We've been setting up audio gear in church spaces and peculiar rooms all over Washtenaw county. Most of the sounds on this album will feature beautiful natural room reverb. The tracks are already sounding fantastic.
The visual component of "Anxious Animal" will also be quite special. I'm creating the album artwork out of my drawings and paintings. There's nothing quite like a great album housed in a great artifact. Remember back in the 90's when we used to go buy a new CD, then sit on the floor holding the paper lyrics jacket, staring at it until the album was done spinning? I intend to make you want to do that.
But here's where I need your help. Funds raised through Kickstarter will cover the costs of producing, duplicating, and promoting this album. With your help, "Anxious Animal" can be released in summer 2012. I don't want to wait much longer, and I hope you don't either! I can't wait to get this completed. Thank you so much for your love and support!
Well, I'm making the artwork. Animals are the only thing I know how to draw.
Kidding! Last spring, I wrote a bunch of tunes, and gave them fun working titles like "Scare the Bear," and drew sketchy little pictures in my lyrics books to accompany the tunes. Then the song collection just started feeling like a good idea for a concept album, and listeners started really latching onto the idea. So I ran with it, and kept the theme going.
The metaphors are definitely there. "Worry the Wolf" was written about sustaining love, and wolves are some of the more monogamous creatures in the animal world. Also, wolf packs are sweet.
I will be mixing the record for the most part, but I'll definitely be consulting and collaborating with many respected musicians and sound engineers, to get "second opinions" and stuff like that. To save myself from ear fatigue and insanity.
So far, it's:
Chris Dupont: vocals, guitars, piano, percussion.
Betsy King: vocals
Katie Van Dusen: violin, percussion
Sarah Paquet: cello
Nick Rifken: drums
Sam Collins: bass
Brian Surguine: guitarsI've also gotten lots of great recording assistance from Nick Nagurka and Eric Huntley. Many more people have volunteered to get on board and/or play stuff, so there will be lots of love and noise in this thing.
You're seeing me talking at my favorite cafe, Beezy's on Washington St. in Ypsilanti. The beautiful cathedral-esque Church is St. John the Baptist in Ypsi. The drum recording still shots are held in Huron Hills Church in Ann Arbor. I'm also walking around in some woods.
I set a goal that covers the bare bones of getting the project produced, mastered, and duplicated. If we go over the goal, this opens doors for better advertising, better promotion, and also compensation for the band members who have volunteered their time and ability to the recording process. Plus, why not get all this cool stuff before anyone else?
