Local household helpers may heave a sigh of relief, as the law aimed at giving them protection and better working conditions takes effect.
The "Kasambahay Law" or Republic Act 10361 has taken effect Tuesday, June 4, ushering in new rules in the employment of household help.
Related story: At long last, house helpers get their due
This includes a minumum wage payable in cash for all household service workers as well as the provision of comprehensive benefits packages.
Under the new law, household workers in Metro Manila should receive not less than P2,500 a month.
Minimum wage for kasambahays is meanwhile set at P2,000 for chartered cities and first class municipalities and P1,500 for those in other municipalities.
Domestic workers' salaries should also be paid in cash and not in any other means, and should be given directly to the kasambahays.
Meanwhile, benefits should include contributions to the Social Security System (SSS), housing fund Pag-IBIG and the Philippine Health Insurance Corp. (PhilHealth).
Kasambahays should also be entitled to 13th month pay, and service incentives and leaves under the law.

The law is a "landmark piece of labor and social legislation that recognizes domestic workers as similar to those in the formal sector," Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said.
"The purpose of the law is to not only protect substantial rights and provide better privileges, but also to prepare domestic workers to become more productive citizens of the land," she added.
The law is also in fulfillment of the country's obligation under a United Nations convention on the protection of domestic workers globally.
The Philippines was the second country to ratify the International Labor Organization Convention 189 last year.
The Senate and the House of Representatives meanwhile approved the Kasambahay Law in November. It was signed by President Benigno Aquino III on January 18.
The Sandiganbayan has allowed a government official, accused with plunder along with former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to undergo a medical procedure at a hospital tomorrow. The anti-graft court permitted former Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board member Benigno Aguas to undergo a cardiopulmonary/endocrine clearance at the St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City. …

Umpire's blown call on 27th out doesn't cost Yankees
Oct 7, 2010, 1:18 PM EDT
Last night, with the Yankees up 6-4 and two outs in the ninth inning, Delmon Young hit a sinking line drive to right field that defensive replacement Greg Golson caught for the 27th and final out.
Except right field umpire Chris Guccione ruled that it was a trap, giving Young a single and giving the Twins a chance to tie the game with Jim Thome stepping to the plate.
Thome ended up popping out on the first pitch he saw from Rivera, so ultimately the blown call didn't hurt the Yankees, but it very easily could have meant the difference in the game.
MLB.com has the video of the play and everyone's reaction, if you missed it live.
This season has been a rough one for umpires and the fact that Guccione got the call wrong was particularly egregious because a) he was only on the field in the first place because MLB adds extra umpires for the postseason, and b) he was standing literally 20 feet from the play.
I was sitting (or standing at that point, probably) on the opposite side of the field, so the fact that it looked like a catch to me in real time obviously doesn't mean much, but I can say that the majority of the Twins fans at Target Field assumed it was a catch and everyone in my section reacted in sort of a sheepish "well, I'm not going to complain if they want to give the Twins an extra out" manner.
Golson put it perfectly after the game, saying: "I'm just glad the play didn't end up being bigger than it was." Unfortunately we can't always count on that being the case.
- David - Oct 7, 2010 at 1:41 PM
Time for the umpires to confer and get the call wrong: about 2 minutes
Time for us to see that the call was wrong on TV: about 20 seconds
How will replay slow down the game?
- birdmancometh - Oct 7, 2010 at 1:52 PM
Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner.
- Trevor B - Oct 7, 2010 at 2:46 PM
This is just the umps paying the Twins back for all the ridiculous blown calls the last time the Twins faced the Yanks in the playoffs.

The EPA Power Grab
Unelected bureaucrats in the EPA are pushing policy and regulations - all outside the scope of their power. Their job is to enforce laws on the book, not create new ones.

EPA: Most Feared Agency in US History
in Environment
President of Environmental Perspectives, Inc. (EPI), author Dr. Michael S. Coffman played a key role in halting U.S. Senate ratification of the Biodiversity Treaty. Now with ever-increasing control over energy production, he reports, the EPA intends to garnish wages of any citizen found violating its regulations. With jurisdiction extended to virtually every mud puddle in America, the EPA arguably is the most feared agency in the history of our nation. In wrapping nooses around necks of all Americans, it is far worse than even the IRS. Why? Because the EPA is driven by ideology, not science.

GRACELAND: Ted Cruz kicks off his 2016 presidential run
Tune in to Graceland with Jennifer Meadows this week as we discuss the kickoff of Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential run. He makes the left hyperventilate and some in the GOP establishment reach for more medicine. Just what the doctor ordered, perhaps?
In the early stages of the 2016 GOP race, how does Cruz stack up against Walker, Bush, Paul and the rest of the GOP field? We'll offer some thoughts on this.
Hillary Clinton declares in front of an audience made up primarily of members of the press that she's ready for a new relationship with the press. Then she takes no questions – and gets a standing ovation from the press. It sounds like the mainstream media is ready to move on from her email scandal. What's next, an apology from the media too?
And the EPA wants to limit your "shower time" - really.
Every where I turn I see communists. Am I the only one left that is not brainwashed? Why did the EPA drive American manufacturing to China? Why is the Bureau of Land Management putting ranchers out of business? Why is the IRS going after Christians? Why is the country being wussified? Why are there so many lawyers? Why is the Pentagon putting fighting men in prison and putting their families on bread lines? Why is Obama spending millions to bring foreign educated smart people for big jobs and saying ghetto kids are to dumb to voucher.. Why are our allies now our enemies and our communist enemies are now our allies? Are you allowed to tip communist Cuban slaves or do you just pay Comrade Castro ? Why is Nothin But Communists NBC setting up shop in Havana and broadcasting from there already? When did Eric bag Holder package the Marc Rich pardon for president pinochhio pants. I saw the artful draft dodger justifying the cash his counting room took in from the UAE. His excuse was he be due. You don't think that UAE money was to save a prince who was hunting with Bin Laden and Bill called off the drone hit? You know Sheikh I save your son's life. Honey what's the wire transfer code to our charity fund?
How did we elect a small time public official who won't let us see any proof of capability? Who put him in power? Who sold us a bad bill of goods. Why are all these communists in the Red house? Why is Bush wrong for going to Iraq having gotten congress' approval first. Obama Bin Lenin bin Laden invaded Libya who had no WOMD's by executive order.Who ordered the 911 call from Benghazi to be hung up on. Who was the last one to cut the line of communication. Why do we have to change our flag? Why do we have to change our national anthem? Can we make it the Battle hymn of the republic? Why do I have to go to reducation camp?

Valve Writes About Their Linux Client Plans
Published on 16 July 2012 09:09 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
108 Comments
Finally some non-Phoronix exclusive information about Steam/Source Engine on Linux ;) Valve Software has begun to write about their Steam Linux client initiatives on their public blog.
Over at
is the start of the Linux blog! This should be linked to from the main Valve Software blog in the near future, I'm told (I was just pinged by them this evening about the soon-to-go-live blog post). The first post is entitled "Steam'd Penguins"; the post's author isn't displayed but I would assume it was written by Mike Sartain.
It's pretty much what I confirmed
back in April when at Valve
and in updates since then with communicating with Valve, but here's the main highlights of the first Valve Linux blog post:
- "For some time, Gabe has been interested in the possibility of moving Steam and the Source game engine to Linux. At the time, the company was already using Linux by supporting Linux-based servers for Source-based games and also by maintaining several internal servers (running a 64-bit version of Ubuntu server) for various projects."
- Valve is currently beginning all development work on Ubuntu Linux. "First, we're just starting development and working with a single distribution is critical when you are experimenting, as we are. It reduces the variability of the testing space and makes early iteration easier and faster. Secondly, Ubuntu is a popular distribution and has recognition with the general gaming and developer communities. This doesn't mean that Ubuntu will be the only distribution we support. Based on the success of our efforts around Ubuntu, we will look at supporting other distributions in the future."
- The current projects being focused upon include getting the Steam client onto Linux with full functionality, optimizing a version of Left 4 Dead 2 to run at a high frame-rate with OpenGL, and porting additional Valve titles to Linux. Left 4 Dead 2 is the game
I was showing native on Linux back in April
- Valve has Steam on Ubuntu 12.04 working with all major functionality. "The goal of the Steam client project is a fully-featured Steam client running on Ubuntu 12.04. We've made good progress this year and now have the Steam client running on Ubuntu with all major features available. We're still giving attention and effort to minor features but it's a good experience at the moment. In the near future, we will be setting up an internal beta focusing on the auto-update experience and compatibility testing."
- They want the same level of performance as in Windows and Linux. "Our goal is to have L4D2 performing under Linux as well as it performs under Windows."
- They have setup a
[email protected]
email address.
Aside from that first post, here's some other interesting tid-bits from their side-panel information:
- "Our mission is to strengthen the gaming scene on Linux, both for players and developers. This includes Linux ports of Steam and Valve games, as well as partner games."
- Valve is investigating some interesting open-source Linux possibilities. "We are also investigating open source initiatives that could benefit the community and game developers."
- "The Valve Linux team is currently 11 people and growing. Our mission is to investigate open source development with a specific focus on supporting Steam and other Valve products on the Linux platform. The Linux background of our team varies from those who have a deep knowledge of Linux development to those who have just scratched the surface. However, one thing we all share is a great passion for supporting all things Valve on Linux." Wow! In
Valve Picks Up Another All-Star Linux Developer
last weekend I only knew of eight or nine people in the team, but now they appear to have on a few more and they're still building this team.
the post
and expect more good things out of their official Linux blog soon! As Gabe said,
it should be available this year
. Perhaps they decided to go public now with their own blog in response to the recent success of
for Linux gaming?

My opinion that is one of the best hotels in Russia, and Probably the Best in Suzdal! I recommend it to all of You!
The location is good, as well as the concept - a kind of a "russian-style luxury" yet affordable hotel.
Nina was extremely helpful, even though she only spoke Russian and we could barely understand. Her place is neat as a pin. We enjoyed lovely breakfast with fresh vegetables from the garden
Very GOOD family style hotel. Silent, comfort staying and Russian style breakfast. You can experience like visiting the home of the grandparents. If I have a time to travel Russia again, I want to stay this guest house again.
Having lived in Moscow for 3 years and travelled extensively throughout RU and the CIS. It was a very pleasant surprise to find a hotel in a Russian town living up to the standard it has advertised:-)! Location,staff (receptionists speak English),rooms,restaurant all top quality.

Volvo's first US car plant not coming to Delaware
By Amy Cherry 8:41am, March 31, 2015 - Updated 10:48am, March 31, 2015Volvo is planning its first car plant in North America, but it won't be in Delaware.
The Swedish automaker said it has a short list of possible locations for the $500 million assembly plant and will announce the location next month. But state Economic Development Director Alan Levin told WDEL that Delaware is not on the list.
Levin said he and Governor Markell reached out to Volvo and its owner, Chinese automaker Geely, but no interest or response was generated.
Levin said he'll continue to work towards bringing an automotive manufacturer to Delaware while focusing on new careers in biotechnology, computer coding skills for financial services, agriculture, and opportunities for the Port of Wilmington.
"All of these will add to Delaware's economic strength and assist in diversifying our economy," Levin said.
Cars haven't been made in Delaware since 2009 when General Motors shuttered its assembly plant on Boxwood Road near Newport. Fisker was planning to build electric cars in Delaware by occupying the former GM plant. Production was slated to begin in 2012, but the automaker filed for bankruptcy in 2013.
Chrysler closed its assembly plant in Newark a year earlier in 2008. That plant employed 2,100 people.
Volvo currently has two plants in Europe and two in China.
Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said the decision to open a U.S. plant highlights the car company's long-term commitment to the U.S. market. The brand hopes to almost double its U.S. sales to 100,000 over the next few years.
Datz said the new plant will also reduce shipping costs and insulate Volvo from currency fluctuations.

WDEL's Road Scholar: Developer backs Newport Gap Pike improvements
By Andrew Sgroi 6:32am, March 31, 2015 - Updated 10:31am, March 31, 2015
The heavy machinery at the SR-41 and Hercules Rd intersection / © WDELIf you encountered the closure of Newport Gap Pike at Hercules Road over the weekend of March 27, 2015, you were likely wondering about the work being performed at the intersection.
New Castle County required the work as a condition for allowing the development of luxury, single-family homes in Toll Brothers' Greenville Overlook, as Bud Freel, DelDOT's county liaison, explained recently to WDEL's Road Scholar.
"Part of the approval," Freel divulged, "was that Toll Brothers would have to fund the intersection improvements."
In order to appropriate land-use deals, Freel said the county often requires this sort of arrangement.
"It's not unusual to have a contractor have to fund improvements if the increase of traffic is being created by their development," he explained.
In most cases, Freel shared, "DelDOT actually does the work and then is reimbursed by the contractor."
However, with this project, Toll Brothers is performing the work themselves, with DelDOT acting as inspector.
The improvements to be made are additional travel lanes for either direction of SR-41 as well as the extension or addition of receiving lanes -- merge lanes which direct right-turn traffic into oncoming traffic flow.
Additionally, westbound Hercules Road welcomes additional travel lanes, and all four legs of the intersection shall receive extended left turn lanes.
Click to interact
Freel said these improvements will allow for the increased traffic, "so that you can have more cars queue at any one time."
Drivers can also expect median and drainage work, landscaping, and lighting improvements.
Though much of the work occurs on the fringes of the work zone during weekdays, Freel advised that additional weekend closures are still scheduled for later in April.
"Many times when you're coming close to the conclusion of a project, to try to speed things along," Freel admitted, "they'll do a weekend closure to get more work done."

Dover office complex targeted by thieves...again
By Andrew Sgroi 11:36am, March 31, 2015 - Updated 12:16pm, March 31, 2015A Dover office complex which was robbed repeatedly late last year is once again the target of thieves.
Police say five businesses which occupy Treadway Towers, located at 9 East Loockerman Street in Dover, hosted a string of burglaries sometime over the weekend of March 27.
The office complex had been hit in November by the "Rat Burglar", dubbed by police for the enterprising manner in which the burglar used to gain access to the various businesses. Police have confirmed with WDEL that that suspect has since been caught, with further charges pending.
Police say the unknown suspects for the recent heists forced entry through the main doors of the businesses and stole undisclosed amounts of cash.
No surveillance video is available of the robberies.

Ex-University of Delaware student sentenced for recording women in bathrooms
By Associated Press 9:45pm, March 30, 2015 - Updated 10:31am, March 31, 2015
Javier Mendiolo-SotoA former University of Delaware graduate student accused of secretly filming women in campus restrooms has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Javier Mendiola-Soto, 39, was sentenced Friday in Superior Court in Wilmington. A spokesman for the Justice Department told The News Journal that Mendiola-Soto, a Mexican national, likely will be deported when his sentence is complete.
Mendiola-Soto pled guilty in December to 49 counts of felony invasion of privacy.
Prosecutors said Mendiola-Soto hid cameras in at least 10 locations around the university and in Newark. Authorities said he also hid cameras in the restroom at the Goodwill and his home in Newark, where he lived with female roommates.

Wilmington man shot multiple times while sitting in car
By DJ McAneny 11:02am, March 31, 2015Wilmington Police are investigating a shooting that occurred late Monday night, authorities announced Tuesday.
According to authorities, officers on routine patrol at approximately 11:10 p.m. were flagged down in the area of Lancaster Avenue and Delamore Place, on the border of Hilltop and Baynard Square, and told a man had been shot in the area.
Police located a 38-year-old male victim suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his left arm, police said.
The victim was treated on scene by New Castle County paramedics, then transported to Christiana Hospital in good condition, according to police.
An initial investigation revealed the victim had been seated inside a vehicle at Lancaster Avenue and Delamore Place when an unknown suspect approached the vehicle and fired into it, striking the victim.
There was no description available from police at this time. Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Martin Lenhardt at 302.576.3668.

One teen trapped, another ejected from car in Middletown crash
By DJ McAneny 3:47pm, March 30, 2015 - Updated 9:31pm, March 30, 2015
The Saturn, which was operated by the 16-year-old female and from which the 13-year-old passenger was ejected/Courtesy Middletown PoliceTwo teenagers are recovering following an accident in which one was ejected and the other trapped inside the vehicle, police said Monday.
According to Middletown Police, a 2002 Saturn being operated by a 16-year-old female from Newark was traveling northbound on Middletown-Warwick Road Friday, March 27, 2015, at approximately 2:50 p.m. when she attempted to navigate a left turn onto Bunker Hill Road.
A 2001 Ford Mustang traveling southbound along Middletown-Warwick Road struck the car as it turned, ejecting a 13-year-old male passenger and trapping the female inside.
Click to interact
Delaware State Police airlifted the male teen to Christiana Hospital. Both the female and the 23-year-old driver of the Ford Mustang were transported to the hospital by ambulance.
The operator of the Mustang was later released, but both teens suffered multiple broken bones and fractures. They were held for treatment and observation.
The teen driver of the Saturn was cited for failure to yield right of way and failure to wear a seatbelt. Police said neither teen was properly restrained.

Group riding to D.C. in honor of Sandy Hook victims stops in Hockessin
By Tom Lehman 9:33pm, March 30, 2015
VIDEO: WDEL's Tom Lehman reports.A group of bicyclists from Newtown, Connecticut, stopped in Delaware on Monday amid their four-day ride to remember the 26 children and school staff members killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012.
The group, called Team 26 as a tribute to the victims, made a pit stop at Hockessin Police Athletic League on their way to Washington D.C. to press for tighter gun laws.
Organizer Monte Frank told WCAU/NBC 10 that group members are trying to preserve the memory of those killed while raising awareness about gun violence.
The group's cause, Frank said, has expanded beyond the mass shooting at Sandy Hook because such acts of gun violence can occur anywhere. He pointed to Chicago and Wilmington as locations that have experienced high rates of those crimes.
"With every stop, we're reminding people that what happened at Sandy Hook cannot fade into the national memory, that we've got to keep pressing for stronger gun safety laws so other communities don't have to go through what we went through," he said.
The riders are expected to arrive in the nation's capitol on Tuesday.

Wilmington crime comission to issue report, recommendations on policing
By Tom Lehman 1:31am, March 31, 2015 - Updated 10:31am, March 31, 2015
The Public safety Strategies Comission met for the first time earlier this month. (WDEL/File)A state commission looking at policing in Wilmington meets for the final time Tuesday night and is expected to issue recommendations on ways to improve the deployment of officers to the governor and Delaware lawmakers.
After a handful of meetings, the Public Safety Strategies Commission will hear recommendations from consultants hired to evaluate the Wilmington Police Department.
The panel has also heard testimony for residents on what they would recommend to improve the agency.
The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Bayard Middle School, located at 200 N. Dupont Street in Wilmington.

Sweetened drinks might not be much healthier than soda
By Tom Lehman 11:31am, March 30, 2015 - Updated 9:31pm, March 30, 2015U.S. sales may have dropped for the 10th straight year in 2014, but some nutrition experts say that doesn't mean Americans are making healthier beverage choices.
Industry analysts in a report last week said the overall volume of soda sales dropped by 0.9 percent. Since peaking in 2004, soda sales have dropped by 1.4 billion cases.
However, Alison Karpyn, an associate professor of Behavioral Health and Nutrition at the University of Delaware, said many Americans are choosing sweetened teas and lemonades instead of soda, even though there is still a significant amount of sugar in those drinks.
"There might be a slight difference in calories, but at the end of the day you're still putting a lot of tablespoons of sugar into a liquid that you're consuming," she said.
High sugar intake can contribute to poor nutrition, lead to weight gain and tooth decay. Researchers have also foundthat even drinking one sugar-sweetened soft drink a day can increase the risk of Type 2 diabetes by 22 percent.
Everyone, especially children, should drink more water and milk rather than sweetened drinks, Karpyn said.
Increased water consumption has been a focus of First Lady Michelle Obama's "Drink Up" campaign, a subset of the Partnership for a Healthier America.
She hopes the downward trend in soda sales leads to more people recognizing the need for healthier beverage choices.
"I hope...that it will kickstart more conversations at homes and with families to bring people back to these simple things of water and milk that we might have forgotten about in the past decades," she said.

Traffic stop leads to arrested of wanted PA man
By DJ McAneny 2:13pm, March 30, 2015 - Updated 9:34pm, March 30, 2015
Emilio Freeman/Courtesy Dover PoliceA burglary suspect was arrested and found to be in possession of a stolen handgun, Dover police announced Monday.
According to authorities, officers conducted a traffic stop on Friday, March 27, 2015, at approximately 10:58 p.m. in the area of Queen and Cecil streets.
Identified as Emilio Freeman, 23, of Darby, Pennsylvania, the operator of the vehicle was found to be wanted by Delaware State Police on a burglary warrant, police said.
Freeman was taken into custody and found to be in possession of a .40 caliber Glock handgun, placed where he had been seated in the vehicle, police said. The handgun had reportedly been stolen three days prior from a vehicle in the Dover area.
Freeman was charged with receiving a stolen firearm, carrying a concealed deadly weapon, possession of a firearm by a person prohibited, and a burglary warrant. He was committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in lieu of $20,000 bond.

Routine traffic stop turns into drug bust in Stanton
By DJ McAneny 9:33pm, March 30, 2015
Tehran Jacobs/Courtesy Delaware State PoliceTwo men are in custody after a traffic stop led to the discovery of more than $5,600 in cash, 75 grams of heroin, 151 grams of crack cocaine and 37 grams of powder cocaine, Delaware State Police said Monday.
According to authorities, a trooper conducted a traffic stop at approximately 2:45 p.m. Sunday, March 29, 2015, in the area of I-95 at Churchman's Road in Stanton.
As the trooper spoke with the operator, identified as Tehran Jacobs, 29, of Brooklyn, New York, he allegedly detected the smell of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. Jacobs, police said, was unable to produce a valid driver's license at the time.
The trooper removed Jacobs and a front seat passenger, identified as Denzell Small, 23, of Durham, North Carolina, from the vehicle. A search of the car turned up the drugs and money in the trunk, police said.
Both men were charged with two counts possession of a controlled substance-Tier 5 quantity, possession of a controlled substance-Tier 4 quantity, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, second-degree conspiracy, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Jacobs additionally faces a charge of speeding. both were arraigned and committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institution in lieu of bond, with Jacobs's set at $103,600 and Small's set at $103,500.

DelDOT unveils Work Zone Safety Awareness Week
By Andrew Sgroi 1:38pm, March 25, 2015 - Updated 10:31am, March 31, 2015
Claude Giroux is helping DelDOT promote work zone safety/Courtesy DelDOTAs the traditional start to the construction season begins, DelDOT and AAA Mid-Atlantic have joined forces to promote enhanced attention for motorist and worker safety in work zones.
Using the Smyrna Rest Area as a backdrop, Governor Markell and state officials officially observed National Work Zone Safety Awareness Week Wednesday morning.
The theme for this year's Delaware campaign is "Work Zones, Respect the Orange and Black".

Fittingly, the sponsors secured Philadelphia Flyers' captain Claude Giroux as this year's spokesman.
According to agency statistics, four-out-of-five victims from work zone crashes are actually drivers or their passengers. Primary causes for these incidents are inattentive driving and following too closely.
When encountering work zones, drivers are encouraged to follow these safety tips:
- When you see the "orange and black," be extra cautious.
- Warning signs will let you know what to expect.
- Barrels or cones will delineate your path of travel.
- Flag persons will help direct you along the way.
- Avoid distractions.
- Don't tailgate.
- Don't change lanes.
- Slow down and expect the unexpected.

Amazon offering to help get jobs done around the house
By Associated Press 9:57pm, March 30, 2015Amazon.com is introducing a referral service to help people to get projects and chores done around their homes.
The recommendation system, called Amazon Home Services, marks the e-commerce company's latest attempt to expand its empire beyond online shopping.
Amazon's move poses a potential threat to other online referral and business rating services, including Angie's List, Yelp and Thumbtack, a startup whose backers include Google.
About 700 different services in major U.S. cities can be booked through Amazon.com, spanning from housecleaning to goat grazing. Amazon isn't charging consumers a fee to use the service. Instead, the company will collect a commission ranging from 10 percent to 20 percent from most of the professionals.
Amazon said it's doing background checks on all professionals listed in its service and guaranteeing all the work.

No 'narsisstics': Music festivals ban fans' selfie sticks

a beachgoer using a cell phone on a stick snaps a selfie as the sun sets at Venice beach in Los Angeles. You can bring your beach towels and floral headbands, but forget that selfie stick if you're going to the Coachella or Lollapalooza music festivals.You can bring your beach towels and floral headbands, but forget that selfie stick if you're going to the Coachella or Lollapalooza music festivals.
The sticks are banned this year at the events in Indio, California, and Chicago. Coachella dismissed them as "narsisstics" on a list of prohibited items.
Selfie sticks have become a popular but polemical photo-taking tool: Avid picture takers like perching their cellphones on the lengthening devices to snap their own shots in front of monuments and sunsets, but critics dismiss them as obnoxious and potentially dangerous to others.
Museums in the U.S. and Europe, including the Palace of Versailles outside Paris and Britain's National Gallery in London, have banned them.
A spokesperson for Coachella wouldn't comment on the restriction. Lollapalooza representatives didn't immediately return a request for comment.

Study finds equality between sexes at moment of conception
By Associated Press 9:47pm, March 30, 2015Every year, slightly more boy babies than girl babies are born worldwide.
But a new study suggests that back when sperm meets egg, the two sexes are conceived in equal numbers. One of the researchers said it suggests that more females than males die before birth, resulting in the higher number of boy babies.
Researchers also estimated the ratio of males to females at various points in pregnancy. They found a see-sawing pattern over that time in terms of which gender is more prone to die in the womb, as various genetic influences take their toll.
In general, around 105 boys are born for every 100 girls worldwide. The imbalance, first noticed centuries ago, is a natural phenomenon not due to selective abortion of girls in some areas.
The research was released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Dunkin' Donuts eyes shift to all cage-free eggs globally
By Associated Press 9:57pm, March 30, 2015Dunkin' Donuts is looking to transition to all cage-free eggs worldwide.
Dunkin' Donuts said Monday that 10 percent of eggs sourced for breakfast sandwiches in the U.S. will be cage-free by 2016's end. The company also said it will assess its international supply chain to figure out how feasible that will be.
In 2013, unkin' Donuts reached its goal to make 5 percent of its eggs cage-free by that year.
Dunkin' Donuts also said that by 2022 it will only source in the U.S. pork that does not use gestation crates. A gestation crate is a metal pen that houses a female pig. The cages are small and don't allow pregnant pigs to turn around. Animal rights advocates consider gestation crates to be cruel.

Program to put 'Kids Eat Right' logo on Kraft Singles ending
By Associated Press 8:05am, March 31, 2015A program to put a dietetics group's "Kids Eat Right" logo on Kraft Singles will reach an early expiration date after an uproar among dietitians.
Kraft Foods said it and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics decided to end the partnership because "misperceptions are overshadowing the campaign."
The decision comes after a petition by dietitians called for an end to the partnership, saying the putting the logo on packages amounted to an endorsement of the cheese product.
Kraft and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics said their partnership was intended to raise awareness about inadequate calcium and vitamin D intake in kids.
The logo will start appearing on products this week and will likely remain on shelves until at least July because packaging until then has already been manufactured.

People use antibiotics far too often, with the result that pathogenic bacteria are becoming more and more resistant to these drugs. However, there is also another cause of increasing resistance, which has now been uncovered by Würzburg scientists who research infectious diseases.
Many infections that used to mean certain death can nowadays usually be overcome quickly by taking a few tablets. This is all thanks to antibiotics. So, it is all the more disturbing to physicians and patients alike that many pathogenic bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics.
From a colony of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (middle, orange), groups that produce an antibiotic (white) and groups that are resistant to this antibiotic (periphery, yellow) gradually develop.
(Photo: Daniel Lopez)
This is particularly problematic in hospitals when bacteria spread that have become resistant to several antibiotics at the same time: these pathogens can be life-threatening for older and vulnerable patients. Sometimes such bacteria can be found in so-called biofilms on medical instruments or implants: they settle there in relatively large colonies inside a shared protective shell, which makes them even less receptive to drugs.
How is it that bacteria are becoming increasingly resistant? "It is because they come into contact with antibiotics too often and develop defense mechanisms," according to the scientifically accepted explanation. Resistance is partly encouraged by the fact that physicians prescribe antibiotics too frequently and often even without good reason and by the fact that the agents are often mixed with food prophylactically in factory farming.
Competition between bacteria leads to resistance
Würzburg researchers have now discovered another way in which bacteria can become resistant – and surprisingly it has nothing to do with antibiotics used by humans. "Resistance already arises when competing bacteria live together in large numbers and in confined spaces," says Dr. Daniel Lopez from the Research Center for Infectious Diseases at the University of Würzburg.
The scientists discovered this during experiments with Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, which are not resistant to antibiotics. They kept the bacteria under the conditions that prevail in a biofilm, i.e. numerous individuals in a confined space with a limited supply of nutrients.
A small evolution takes place in the biofilm
In this environment the Staphylococci become rivals and experience a kind of small-scale evolution: individual bacteria that are suddenly able to produce antibiotics through spontaneous mutations have the advantage. They keep the competition at a distance and multiply successfully. It is normal for bacteria to produce antibiotics themselves: even "in the wild" they use these agents to assert themselves against other bacteria, and many commonly prescribed antibiotics are derived from bacterial antibiotics.
In the biofilm created by the Würzburg researchers, the initial bacteria did not meekly surrender to this attack: they in turn developed mechanisms to defend themselves against the antibiotics, rendering themselves resistant. After just five days, there were three very distinctive groups of bacteria in the biofilm: the "harmless" original bacteria, the antibiotics producers, and the antibiotic-resistant group. This is reported by the Würzburg researchers in the current issue of the journal "Cell".
Biofilms as breeding grounds for resistance
"Biofilms can therefore be breeding grounds for resistance without coming into contact with antibiotics from outside," says Daniel Lopez. Consequently, hospitals should take even more care than they already do to prevent and combat biofilms. As their next step, the Würzburg researchers want to find out further details about what happens in biofilms. They are particularly interested in whether and how the ominous resistance development processes can be prevented.

When Low formed in Duluth, Minnesota, in 1993, no one could have guessed it would become one of the most respected underground bands of the next two decades. In an era when most acts traded in sheer volume, Low focused instead on raw emotional honesty expressed with a quiet and deliberate intensity. The group's debut album, I Could Live in Hope, was reminiscent of Galaxie 500, with an expanded use of evocative vocal harmonies and a more pastoral, textured sound. By the time of 2005's The Great Destroyer, a sonically rich and electrifying effort, Low had perfectly blended its pastoral sounds with its rock leanings and a flair for the experimental. On the cusp of releasing a new album, the group is taking its soul-stirring show on the road for a short run of small clubs.

Jack Taylor's 138-Point Game was Not a Sham
As we, and everyone else in the world, have reported, Division III team Grinnell College defeated Faith Baptist Bible 179-104, behind a record 138 points by 5'10 guard Jack Taylor, an offensive display that would have left offensive genius and current Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni puzzled.
While ESPN, Twitter, and as I mentioned, everyone else in the world, blew up last night after hearing the news, many sites including Deadspin and Black Sports Online (BSO) are chiming in today that Taylor's performance was a sham, and it isn't all that impressive.
I for one, won't disagree that a single player jacking up 108 shots, 71 of which were three's, is pretty appalling, but that doesn't take away that one player outscored an entire team by 34 points. Especially when that other team's leading scorer dropped 70 of his own.
The performance is also being criticized because Grinnell's coach, David Arseneault, is known for coming up with game plans focused on one player taking a ton of shots and his team not giving their all on defense so they'd be able to score more points. This could best be evidenced by the fact that just last season, Taylor's teammate, Griffin Lentsch, scored a Division III record 89 points.
The main criticism is really directed towards Grinnell's indifference to defense. BSO's Glenn Erby states: "the mockery of the game come into play, when Grinnell disregards playing any defense, and feels obligated to trade or even give up baskets to the opposing team."
I'm sorry, but how is it a mockery when the team is 3-0 this season, after going 18-5 last season? Isn't the object of the sport to win games? Is the Grinnell model the only strategy that ignores the team concept from time-to-time, despite coach Arseneault pretty much subbing with full-line changes like he's coaching a hockey team? This is strategy people, not mockery.
The other reason I'm upset with the criticism of last night's events is because nobody cared about what the Grinnell Pioneers were doing until last night's performance for the ages, but after seeing and being amazed with Taylor's point total, all of the "experts" felt the need to evaluate how the points were accumulated and analyze what Taylor and his team did wrong. To quote Wayne Campbell "exqueese me?"
I'll repeat the most important stat I've shared in this article, Grinnell College beat their opponent by 75 points last night.
What difference does it matter how many shots they took? Or missed? Or what their leading scorer did to get the one hundred and freaking thirty-eight points that he scored?
As they say on the blacktop, if you don't like what your opponent is doing, stop them. Faith Baptist Bible couldn't do that, so they lost, embarrassingly.
Did Arseneault do this for media attention? Probably. Did he achieve what all teams hope to achieve heading into any competition, he sure did.
What's the big deal? Besides a player scoring 138 points….
I'll wait.

April 30, 2013 - Beautiful T with a great message! Runs a little large. I ordered a medium which is what I usually wear. I can wear a small but prefer a looser fit. I should have ordered a small in this T and in the golden retriever T I ordered.
February 20, 2013 - very nice shirts...I was impressed!
December 2, 2012 - nice tee - words a little big - comfy
