Ukraine sits on the precipice of civil war. Beneath the ostensible storyline of protests against the government of Viktor Yanukovych and recent laws it's enacted lies what is likely an insuperable rift between the eastern and western regions of the country.
The east, archetyped by Sovietized industrial places such as Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk, leans toward Russia. This is Yanokovych country. Russia's supreme leader Vladimir Putin lurks in the background of any discussion here.
The west, personified by the tech-savvy city of Lviv, feels close to is Western European neighbors and the United States. This is the realm of Viktor Yusschenko, the former president known for being poisoned, disfigured, and almost killed by his political opponents. It's also the side that the intellectual heavyweight boxing champion Vitali Klitschko has chosen.
Kiev, the nation's capital and site of the most visible current protests, sits in West geographically but is a city that has also played an important role in Russian history over the centuries. It straddles the powerful Dnieper River, which runs the course of the country.
This fight does not involve Marquess of Queensberry rules, however. It's loud, chaotic, violent, and becoming lethal. Soon it may become tragic.
The Apolitical Blues
We are apolitical at the Tau Institute and in the research we conduct. Our belief is that technology is a rising tide that lifts all boats, and that the countries with the most dedicated commitment to ICT will be those improve their socio-economic conditions and the lives of their people most dramatically over the long haul.
Ukraine scores very well in our research. Although it finishes only 39th overall among the 102 nations we survey, It's among the world leaders overall, Ukraine is a clear leader within its income tier, and scores among the highest when it comes to raw potential.
(For those uninitiated with our research, we integrate several technology and socio-economic factors into unique algorithms that are adjusted for income levels and cost of living. The result are relative, "pound-for-pound" rankings that give developing nations a playing field that's more equal when being compared to the highly developed nations of the world.)
We also understand that technology can be disruptive. It is glib to characterize any of the civial disturbances and outright revolutions of recent years as being caused by Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. However, ubiquitous smartphones, wireless connections, and the swiftness of social media clearly play a role in most of these struggles.
We've created a "Goldilocks" definition in our raw potential rankings. Ukraine, by finishing near the top of them, is one of the countries that seems to be "too hot." (Other countries fitting this description include Bulgaria, Romania, swathes of Eastern Africa, and Vietnam.)
By counter-example, the USA, Italy, and South Africa are just three countries that seem to running "too cold." Goldilocks Nations include Latvia, Poland, Slovakia, Thailand, Malaysia, Ecuador, and a few others.
What Now?
So here we are. Ukraine is being riven by conflict and violence, with the threat of all-out war looming. Its capital city sits at the inflection point of all conflict, reminding one of Bruseels and its eternal balance between Flemish and French. But Ukraine's conflict is not linguistic or particularly ethnic. It doesn't have the well-defined tribal fault line that allowed the Czech Republic and Slovakia to separate peacefully (and to a lesser extent, that allowed Slovenia to slip away from Yugoslavia),
Russia's Putin seems to become more imperial by the hour, doing nothing to earn Russia love or respect. The United States' most recent statement on the matter threatened sanctions and contributed nothing positive to the discussion.
The USA-Russia relationship is highly reminiscent of the USA-Soviet days that we had hoped were in the past. Both countries have seemingly done their best to exacerbate the situation in recent years, the US by being too aggressive in courting Ukraine as a NATO partner, and Putin by just being Putin.
Our research shows Ukraine's potential. Our contacts there have provided us with valuable information in the past about tech development in several regions of the country. People at organizations such as the Ukrainian High-Tech Initiatve are doing great work in working to develop Ukraine as a country with a strong ICT infrastructure, and ultimately, strong society.
We don't make specific, yes-or-no recommendations. But we do see Ukraine's potential, particularly in the West. We hope that the nation can keep itself together in coming days. But if not, we encourage a clear-eyed viewing of the writing on the wall and a national partition that is peaceful and practical.
Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

Pump tested at Sharp OK'd for more hearts
People who suffer from late-stage heart failure but don't qualify for a transplant now have a new option: a cell-phone-size heart pump tested at Sharp Memorial Hospital in San Diego.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved wider use of HeartMate II after a national study showed the device causes fewer complications and enables a better quality of life than an older version of the technology.
HeartMate II, made by Pleasanton-based Thoratec, has been available for several years but only as "bridge" implant device for patients awaiting a donated heart to become available. The recent research convinced federal health regulators to sanction it for permanent cases, namely people ineligible for a transplant because of factors such as being too old and having other serious illnesses.
About 2,000 Americans suffering from cardiac failure received heart transplants in 2009, but up to 100,000 others could benefit from HeartMate II annually, according to Thoratec.
Sharp Memorial was one of 38 sites that held clinical trials leading to the study's publication last month in The New England Journal of Medicine.
Doctors there implanted the device into 31 patients last year, said cardiothoracic surgeon Walter Dembitsky, who practices at the hospital. The figure could jump into the hundreds now that FDA officials have greatly expanded the pool of patients eligible for HeartMate II, he said.
Heart pumps "are becoming more acceptable and cheaper," Dembitsky added. "Everything is moving in the right direction."
One of Sharp's patients was Diana Roberson, 68, of Ontario, who received a HeartMate II in June. Her heart began failing after she received chemotherapy to treat cancer.
"I was able to go on three-mile walks with my dog and do a lot of gardening, but I couldn't do that anymore," she recalled yesterday. "It would take a couple of hours just to psych myself into taking a shower. It was no life."
Since the surgery, Roberson has returned to a relatively normal routine.
"It was one of the best decisions of my life," she said. "I can live again. I can walk my dog. I can enjoy my grandkids."
The recent study found that 58 percent of the 134 patients with a HeartMate II survived for two years compared with 24 percent of the 66 patients with the older-generation device. Infection rates were cut nearly in half among HeartMate II patients, and the device didn't significantly raise their risk of suffering a stroke compared with advanced heart-failure patients without the implant.
Although it has been 27 years since the first artificial heart was implanted in a human, such devices remain a rarity.
HeartMate II finally could change that, said Dr. Robb MacLellan, medical director of the mechanical circulatory assist program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
"This is a really dramatic improvement over the previous device," he said. "This new device is smaller and well-tolerated (by the body), and the side effects are relatively low."
Machines such as HeartMate II are known as left-ventricle assist systems because they're attached to the lower left side of the organ. They don't replace the heart.

Getting to yes with the assaultive but oddly charming Energy Drink Tie-Dye uniforms that Adidas unveiled for the NCAA Tournament.
There's nothing wrong with some idle speculation on the NCAA Tournament, especially as March approaches. But a little bit less of ESPN Bracketologist-in-chief Joe Lunardi, and the silly, over-certain pseudoscience he sells, might do us all some good.
Nerlens Noel's short, strange and NBA-mandated college basketball career is almost certainly over after just 24 games and one scary knee injury. He'll be fine, most likely, but college basketball fans are still worse off for not getting to watch him figure out for himself how his dazzling talent works.
There are several good-enough reasons to root for Jae Crowder, the extravagantly be-dreaded rookie wing on the Dallas Mavericks. But what he might wind up being, and on some nights legitimately appears already to be, is currently a better reason to watch than anything Crowder actually is.
Perry Jones III could be the next Tracy McGrady. He could also be the next Qyntel Woods. Or, barring all that, he could just be Perry Jones III, a player who can do a lot and has been through a lot, but who is now not nearly yet what he'll someday be.
Jimmy King's Fab Five days were more than half a lifetime ago, but he and his team have stuck around in the collective college basketball memory, and still have some lessons to teach.
In 2010, Dominique Ferguson was a blue-chip recruit bound for Kentucky. Today, after following Isiah Thomas to Florida International and being denied the opportunity to transfer in the wake of Zeke's firing, Ferguson is a longshot NBA Draft candidate, and proof of how dangerous it is to be loyal to faithless people and institutions.
Dwayne Schintzius is best remembered for one of the league's most extravagant and meticulously maintained signature haircuts. It says something about the man who named his mullet "The Lobster" that he seemed more or less cool with that. But, haircut notwithstanding, he filled a role.
Hats off, and small nylon shorts in the mail, to Kevin Slane, the champion of The Classical's Prognostic-achievers Bracket Challenge. How could he possibly have known that Kentucky could pull this off?
The "One Shining Moment" montage at the end of every NCAA Tournament is a television institution with decades of history and a ton of gooey, gooey sentiment behind it. Which makes it all the more frustrating how awful it is.

This first report of a Swiss registry includes 313 patients with primary immunodeficiency syndromes (PIDS) who were observed between January 1975 and January 1985. Diagnosis of specific PIDS was made according to WHO criteria. The most frequent disorders were IgA deficiency (33%) and common variable immunodeficiency (22%), followed by selective deficiency of other immunoglobulin isotypes (9%), severe combined immunodeficiency (9%), infantile sex-linked agammaglobulinemia (7%), and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (6%). Frequencies of other types of PIDS varied between 0.3 and 4%. Half of the patients were in the pediatric age group. Male patients predominated (63%). In addition to respiratory and urogenital tract infections, autoimmune disorders were observed in 14 patients with IgA deficiency or common variable immunodeficiency. IgA deficiency was, furthermore, associated with atopic and neurological disorders. A comparison with other national registries revealed some differences: the frequency of severe combined immunodeficiency was high (incidence, 24.3 cases per 106 live births), and that of ataxia teleangiectasia was particularly low (1.4 per 106 live births) in Switzerland. Frequencies of the three major PIDS groups of (i) predominantly antibody defects, (ii) predominantly cell-mediated defects, and (iii) PIDS associated with other major defects agreed with those reported in the other European studies.

A limited number of Patron/Benefactor tickets will be available at the door.
The Northwest Flower & Garden Show returns to the Washington State Convention Center, Seattle, in mid-February, 2015, and once again the Arboretum Foundation will kick off the show with its annual Opening Night Party & Auction. Guests will enjoy a fabulous evening of delicious food, wine bars, live entertainment, and alluring auctions, and the opportunity to view the beautiful display gardens at the Garden Show the day before it opens to the public—all while helping us raise important funds to support Washington Park Arboretum.
This year's Garden Show (February 11 to 15) falls on the same week as St. Valentine's Day, and the show theme will be "Romance Blossoms." Our party will incorporate this theme—as will our annual garden display, which will be an interactive, love-themed homage to Azalea Way.
Mayoral mojo: The Honorable Ed Murray, Mayor of Seattle, and his husband Michael Shiosaki will be our honorary co-chairs for this year's party. Ed and Michael are longtime friends of the Arboretum, and we are delighted to have their support.
A Resplendent Auction
Each year, our party features a lavish silent and live auction filled with all manner of treasures—such as travel packages, dining and theater experiences, exclusive garden tours, hiking adventures, and wine tastings. Our auction procurement team works hard throughout the year to secure many fabulous donations from generous businesses, institutions, and private individuals.
LIVE AUCTION PREVIEW: This year's live auction will feature eight unique items and experiences, including a beach vacation in Maui, a tour of Heronswood and luncheon at Windcliff with Dan Hinkley, and a chance to be a groundskeeper for a day for a Mariners game. Read more details.
For more information, email our Development and Events Coordinator Sheila Beer or call her at 206-325-4510.
Fund-A-Need: Supporting Our Volunteer Program
This year, the "Fund-A-Need" portion of our live auction will raise money for our multi-faceted volunteer program. Foundation staff spend many hours each year recruiting, training, supervising, and working with the more 600 volunteers—supporting what they do for us. Come raise your paddle and help keep this vital program thriving!
Ticket Levels and Benefits
For this year's party, we simplified our ticket level options, reducing them from five down to three. We offered a limited number of Early-Bird tickets to Arboretum Foundation members, at $175 each. This offer was available through January 19. The other two ticket levels are Patron and Benefactor. The prices for these remain the same as last year—$250 and $500, respectively.
All guests will enjoy a delicious buffet dinner and dessert, as well as complimentary parking for one car in the Convention Center garage. Patrons and Benefactors will receive additional benefits, including reserved table seating for dinner on the main garden floor. Benefactors will also receive two tickets to the Garden Show and a special gift from Madison Park's Oh! Chocolate.
Online and phone sales ended Monday, February 2! A limited number of Patron and Benefactor tickets will be available at the door.
Volunteering at Opening Night
Seattle's most elegant garden party could never be a success without the help of our valued and hard-working volunteers! If you're interested in helping out at the 2014 event, please email our Volunteer Resources Manager Megan Meyer or call her at 206-325-4510.
Thanks to our generous event sponsors! Sponsorship opportunities are still available. If you'd like to be part of this great event, please contact our executive director Paige Miller at firstname.lastname@example.com or 206-325-4510.

There is any complete tutorial how to configure emacs for using with Django (1.1) (on Mac)? Im thinking about switch from TextMate to Emacs to have multiplatform editor for django. I have my fav. theme from textmate and I want to convert this to emacs (maybe is "converter" for this?). Switching from Textmate is a good idea ?
I second @docgnome's suggestion of Django mode and yasnippet, but the real kicker that will make you never want to go back to TextMate is to integrate PyFlakes into your development environment, at which point Emacs will provide you on-the-fly notification of errors in your Python code. These go far beyond the typo-level error detection you get for free merely by having syntax highlighting; you'll be notified of errors such as variable before assignment, unused imports, and bad indentation, among other things.
Installing PyFlakes in Emacs is relatively straightforward: just download and install PyFlakes, and then add the following to your
That's it. You should now notice that, whenever you're editing Python, errors are highlighted in red. Mouse over to see a full explanation of what's wrong with the provided line.
As far as theming like TextMate: theming can be a bit annoying Emacs; unless you truly want the exact theme you have in TextMate, I'd grab Color Theme for Emacs and find one that suits your fancy. You can almost certainly find one very close to your current TextMate one, and won't have to deal with manually configuring faces.
You might check out Django mode for emacs. What specific functionality were you looking for? For snippets, I recommend yasnippet which is inspired by the TextMate snippet system.

Professional Aluminium Tripod
This is a nice sturdy tripod and a good buy for the money. I only gave it 4 stars because all the adjustment and tightening knobs are plastic with plastic threaded fasteners. I will have to be very careful not to over tighten them or they will strip out over time. Also, it would have been nice to have an instruction manual with it. Other than that, it is a very nice tripod and with a little care should last a long time

Mothers Give Up Custody of Children
Would You Give Up Custody If Daddy Were a Better Parent?
When it comes to child custody, moms tend to have an edge on the competition. Judges often find them more capable and sometimes, dads agree and settle for either joint custody or visitation rights. However, there are cases where a father fights tooth and bone for his offspring and can win the court's decision if he shows all the right stuff.
One couple came to the end of their marital road and both decided their three boys would be better off living with the mother. As the dad moved south for a job, the mama found herself refereeing wrestling matches, fighting migraines and suffering panic attacks. At the point of a mental breakdown, she relinquished custody and shipped the young lads off to their father where he would raise them into fine young men.
While some might see the mother's actions as selfish, others may say she put the children's needs before her own. Would you give up custody of your babies if you knew their father was a more competent parent?

"What to the Slave is 4th of July?": James Earl Jones Reads Frederick Douglass' Historic Speech
In this Fourth of July holiday special, we begin with the words of Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery around 1818, Douglass became a key leader of the abolitionist movement. On July 5, 1852, in Rochester, New York, he gave one of his most famous speeches, "The Meaning of July Fourth for the Negro." He was addressing the Rochester Ladies Antislavery Society. This is actor James Earl Jones reading the speech during a performance of historian Howard Zinn's acclaimed book, "Voices of a People's History of the United States." He was introduced by Zinn.
July 4 Special: "We Shall Overcome": Remembering Folk Icon, Activist Pete Seeger
Earlier this year, the legendary folk singer and activist Pete Seeger died at the age of 94. For nearly seven decades, Seeger was a musical and political icon who helped create the modern American folk music movement. In the 1940s, he performed in The Almanac Singers with Woody Guthrie, and then formed The Weavers. In the 1950s, he opposed Senator Joseph McCarthy's political witch hunt and was almost jailed for refusing to answer questions before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Seeger became a prominent civil rights activist and helped popularize the anthem, "We Shall Overcome." He was also a vocal critic of the Vietnam War and inspired a generation of protest singers. Later in his life, Seeger was at the center of the environmental and anti-nuclear movements. In 2009, Seeger and Bruce Springsteen performed Woody Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land" on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at an inaugural concert for Barack Obama, when he first became president. We re-air highlights from our 2013 and 2004 interviews with Seeger.

Had a perfect travel day yesterday. Actually got away early, 8:45, and had beautiful cold clear weather all day.

Check Out Snoop Dogg's High School Yearbook PhotoTaryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity 17 mins ago
What a clean-cut cutie!
Snoop Dogg's senior high school yearbook photo has surfaced from 1989 and the rapper, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. , looks incredibly young and innocent. Not at all like the kind of guy who was selling weed to Cameron Diaz in between classes.
Snoop, now 43, went to Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California along with Diaz, 42, who remembers the upperclassman quite fondly.
"We went to high school together," the Sex Tape actress recalled on Lopez Tonight in 2011 . "He was a year older than me... I remember him, he was very tall and skinny. He wore lots of ponytails."
"I'm pretty sure I bought weed from him," Diaz, who has a medical marijuana card, continued. "I was green even in high school!"
Snoop is still green, too. Case in point? Just watch the Comedy Central Roast of Justin Bieber Roast tonight at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Tom Hardy: I'm 'Difficult' but 'Not Unreasonable'Mallory Schlossberg at Yahoo Celebrity 1 hr ago
"I have a reputation for being difficult. And I am. I am actually," the Mad Max: Fury Road star admitted while making a mug for his wife, actress Charlotte Riley. "But I'm not unreasonable. It used to be that if somebody hurt me, I'd lash out a bit in order to get them to stop."
"It ultimately comes from fear," he confessed to the magazine. "If I cause enough of a mess, then people will never ask me again to do something I don't want to do. But that sort of backfires after a while so you don't want to do that. You grow up. And it's like, you know, you've got to watch how you behave. Because I've got the 'he's volatile' thing."
It sounds like underneath that rough exterior is a sensitive, introspective kinda guy who really cares about his family. After all, he does paint pottery — he can't be that tough.
Paula Patton on Life After Robin Thicke: 'I'm Doing Really Well'Mallory Schlossberg at Yahoo Celebrity 1 hr ago
Sometimes it takes a really unfortunate experience — you know, like the painful, slow burn of a public breakup — to make you suddenly feel like you're a whole new woman. Look no further than Paula Patton, who was all smiles while chatting with Meredith Vieira about her recent divorce from Robin Thicke for an episode of The Meredith Vieira Show airing on Tuesday.
If you couldn't already tell by how the 39-year-old actress is legitimately glowing, she's doing A-OK post-divorce. "You know, I'm doing really well," she told Vieira. "It's been a long year and a lot of challenges, but I've grown quite a bit and [I'm] just getting used to change."
Regarding her new life, she said that she just "[embraces] it" and that she's "thankful for everything that [she does] have," which probably includes her 4-year-old son, Julian. "I live in a place of gratitude," she added.
David Arquette Explains That Justin Bieber FightTaryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity 2 hrs ago
According to Page Six's initial report, the pop star wanted Arquette thrown out of his Vegas party after he caught wind that David was "talking about Bieber behind his back."
The source said: "Justin heard what David had been saying, and threw him out of his suite with the help of a friend, because they didn't have security up there. Somehow David managed to get back in and rushed at Bieber to take him out. There was a confrontation, then other people got in the way to separate them. David was thrown out again, this time for good."
While speaking to Stern on Monday, Arquette insisted, "I didn't get in a fight and thrown out."
What really went down was the Biebs had just thrown his birthday bash (following the taping of his Comedy Central roast in L.A.) at David's new club in Las Vegas, Heart of Omnia, at Caesars Palace. After the shindig, David got into an elevator thinking he was going to a friend's afterparty and when he got off, was asked to put his cell phone in a pillow case.
Naturally, Howard responded to that by calling Bieber "a little prick."
Robin Williams's Family Will Try to Settle Their Dispute Out of CourtRobert Kessler at Yahoo Celebrity 4 hrs ago
The attorneys for Robin Williams's wife and children, Zachary, Zelda, and Cody, have decided to attempt to resolve a dispute over the late actor's will out of court. According to the Associated Press, the attorneys agreed Monday in court to meet informally before April 10 to settle the matter.
The late actor's three children are from his first and second marriages; he married his third wife, Susan Williams, in 2011.
The debate stems from Williams's will. According to the attorney for his children, his trust leaves them their father's clothing, jewelry, and personal photos taken before his marriage to Susan. According to Susan's lawyer Jim Wagstaffe, she wants to keep her wedding presents, the tuxedo Williams wore at their wedding, and photographs taken at his 60th birthday party in 2000, 11 years before they wed.
Williams committed suicide last August after a recent Parkinson's disease diagnosis and lifelong battle with depression.
Mick Jagger's Romance With Ballerina Melanie Hamrick Heating UpElizabeth Durand Streisand at Yahoo Celebrity 6 hrs ago
Somebody, get these two a room — oh wait, they already took care of that themselves. Over the weekend, 71-year-old Mick Jagger was spotted leaving a fancy Manhattan building with 28-year-old Melanie Hamrick by his side. (Technically speaking, they weren't exactly side-by-side, as they seemed to make an effort to keep a bit of distance in between.) Despite their rather modest effort at discretion, however, the picture was pretty clear, especially considering that they were both assisted by the same chauffeur to get into the same black car.
Probably most notable about Hamrick's appearance, however, wasn't what she wore or carried: It was her expression. Though, like Mick, she dutifully kept her head down as she made her way into the car, she couldn't keep a beaming smile off her face.
But what else do we know about this dancing beauty besides the fact that she had a broken engagement and seems to have caught a rock legend's eye?
Mariah Carey and Brett Ratner Fuel Romance Rumors in the CaribbeanTaryn Ryder at Yahoo Celebrity 6 hrs ago
Days after the Grammy-winning singer denied she was dating the Rush Hour director, the longtime pals were spotted strolling arm in arm — along with another female friend — in the Caribbean.
Carey, who turned 45 on Friday, and Ratner, who turned 46 Saturday, threw a joint birthday celebration over the weekend in St. Barts. The lavish soiree took place on a yacht Sunday night.
The above photo has fueled speculation that Mariah and Brett are more than friends. They have been spotted together more frequently since the "You're Mine" singer split with Nick Cannon last year.
Earlier this month, Carey posted a shot of her and the filmmaker "hanging out in the girls room" together. A few weeks later, they were seen having dinner along with Courtney Love.
Brett and Mariah do have a long history… of working together professionally, that is. They have been close friends since 1998 when he directed her "I Still Believe" music video. Ratner went on to direct seven more for the singer. Over the years, romance rumors have popped up, and repeatedly have been shot down.
Talk about a confusing love boat.
Snooki Celebrates Her Daughter's BaptismMallory Schlossberg at Yahoo Celebrity 8 hrs ago
Gone are the days when Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was known for her weekends of debauchery on New Jersey's beaches. This past weekend, the Jersey Shore alum proved how far she's come since her reality TV days, as she celebrated her daughter Giovanna's baptism. And Giovanna looked super cute!
Snooki Instagrammed a photo of herself and her pal, Stephanie Greiner, at the celebration on Sunday.
"Baptized Giovanna today!" Snooki wrote. "Steph's a godmother @stephanie_b22."
Newly-appointed godmother Greiner posted a photo of herself with her freshly baptized goddaughter, who was all dolled up in blue bows and ruffles for her big day.
Snooki's BFF and Snooki & JWoww co-star, Jenni "JWoww" Farley, was also in attendance, along with her baby girl, Meilani. Snooki snapped a photo of her pal in full mama mode.
" She's lovin that mom life @jwoww," wrote Snooki.
Prince George Upstages Prince Charles in Earth Hour AddressRobert Kessler at Yahoo Celebrity 8 hrs ago
When it comes down to it, regardless of rank or station, we're all just human beings. And Prince Charles is no different than any other grandpa: he just wants to show off pictures of his grandson.
It also probably doesn't hurt that everyone everywhere is always interested in any new picture of Prince George, future King of England. So if you're a royal looking to draw some attention to a cause you're supporting — like, say, Earth Hour — a nice strategy is to toss in a brand new picture of the youngest royal in the background. Which is exactly what Prince Charles did in a PSA released on Friday, encouraging people to participate in Earth Hour.
Keen observers immediately noticed the new picture of Prince George.
Talk about a direct message to the press: new photo of Charles holding George in WWF video http://t.co/QCI3QUgAQ1 pic.twitter.com/eByLqeHxQy

Easter Comes Early for North WestRobert Kessler at Yahoo Celebrity 10 hrs ago
Whether or not it's inappropriate to be envious of a 21-month-old child, North West continued her reign as World's Best Baby Sunday, embarking on a sun-soaked, Instagram-ready Easter egg hunt with her BFF Ryan.
In accordance with her rules of social media, Kim Kardashian shared just three pictures from the hunt.
In the first, future space explorer North West guides Ryan around the corn maze in search of eggs and the delicious candy inside.
Ryan is the daughter of Tracy Nguyen and Ray Romulus, who works as a music producer under the name The Stereotypes. Tracy shared a couple pictures from the hunt as well.
Here, future James Beard Award-winning chef North demonstrates to her sous chef Ryan the proper ratio of sand to sun in a sandbox torte.
North and Ryan also got their faces painted at their one-week-early Easter extravaganza.
It's so refreshing to see a young female celebrity focusing on supportive, female friendships.

Academy Sues Oscar Winner's Heirs for Auctioning His Award
Briarbrook Auctions sold Joseph Wright's 1942 statuette for $79,200 in June.
A Oscar statuette awarded in 1942 is at the center of a new lawsuit against the heirs of late Oscar-winner Joseph Wright and the auction house which allegedly sold his award.
LIST The Hollywood Reporter Reveals Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences alleges that Wright's heirs allowed Briarbrook Auctions to auction the statuette last month for $79,200.
The suit says the sale to the unknown buyers violated the Academy's bylaws, which prohibit its members from selling their Oscars without offering the Academy a right of first refusal to purchase them for $10. The suit says this rule also applies to anyone who inherits an Oscar.
Wright's heirs, the auction house and the Oscars' unknown buyers are named as defendants in the suit.
The Academy is seeking compensatory damages in excess of $79,200 as well as punitive damages. It is also demanding the right to buy the Oscar for $10.
PHOTOS 'Pulp Fiction,' 'Thelma & Louise' Stars Reunite
The Academy is very aggressive in protecting the sanctity of the Oscar and has brought lawsuits in the past against those who attempt to resell them. After 1951, winners have been asked to sign a contract giving the Academy the first right to buy Oscars for $10. (That price was later lowered to $1.) Sales of Oscars from before that year have been subject to litigation.
PHOTOS 10 Highest Grossing Movie Sequels
Wright, who died in 1985, won the Oscar for color and art direction on My Gal Sal.
Briarbrook Auctions did not immediately respond to request for comment.

New to me :o)
The meal between lunch and dinner, just as brunch is the meal between breakfast and lunch.
Comprehend Brunch, but linners is new to me.
Friend, dh and couple went for linners, yesterday.
We have been going out for "linner" for years. Thought it was just our own term for eating out (or in sometimes) around mid afternoon. When we have "linner", it is in place of eating lunch and dinner. So it's breakfast, linner and evening snack for the day.
Thanks Glenda! You will usually find my husband and me at a 'linner' on Sundays, even if we didn't know what to call it. Come on up to Boston area, and we'll take you to one of our favorites here on the North Shore. The Rowley Pancake House ... lots more than a pancake though!
I remember this from back in the late 60s and 70s when everyone had to rebel against conformity. Linner, lupper, sporks and the other garbage. Never made sense then, and is sillier now. But another example of people needing to "rename" things to "personalize" them.
I too have never heard of some of these, but us westerners don't get around much. LOL
Glenda, how did Thanksgiving go with your friend's son? Hope you both had a good time. Must have had leftovers as you said your GS cleaned lots of goodies up.
We do this all the time but didn't know it had a name. We just do a late lunch or early supper--about 3 PM. Glad to know it has a name. Sure have done brunch for years!! Often we like to have breakfast for supper. To me, dinner and supper are the same meal--evening meal. To Wayne's mother, lunch and dinner were the same meal--noon. Got me in trouble when we first married. LOL

Woodward-Sperling Flap May Turn Tide
There is a rule in Politics 2013 that's evident in the flap about a White House aide's maybe threatening or not threatening Washington Post veteran reporter Bob Woodward. The rule: The more superficial the brouhaha the bigger its impact.
What public figures say is more important than what they do, because cable TV and political blogs can cover a mud fight more cheaply and more easily than they can a real story.
Quick synopsis: Woodward has reported doggedly on the White House's role in putting "sequester" cuts — $85 billion this year — in the 2011 Budget Control Act. Last week, as Woodward was writing that President Barack Obama was moving the goal post in negotiations on those cuts, a White House aide yelled at him on the phone for a half-hour, Woodward says. Economic adviser Gene Sperling later sent him an email to apologize for raising his voice. Sperling also wrote, "I think you will regret staking out that claim."
The White House says no threat was intended. I believe that. I also see why Woodward might perceive the exchanges as a threat — not to harm him physically but to deny him access. Without access, Woodward cannot write best-selling books.
Why am I writing about what Ron Fournier, National Journal editor-in-chief, described as "a silly distraction to a major problem" — Washington's failure to lead under a budget deadline? Because this could be a turning point — the moment when the White House press corps starts pushing back.
As Fournier wrote, the Woodward flap is indicative of the "increasingly toxic relationship between media and government." Things have gotten so ugly that in the midst of the Woodward flap, Fournier put an anonymous White House source on notice that if he continued to send him emails filled with "vulgarity, abusive language" and you'll-regret-it talk, Fournier would feel free to print said missives with attribution.
It would be nice if a more substantive dispute than the White House's treatment of Woodward sparked this mild rebellion. Think Benghazi. Yet there is a substantive dispute behind the fluffy fight.
As Politico reported, the White House "has, with great success, fudged the facts. The administration has convinced a majority of the country that Republicans are more to blame by emphasizing that Republicans voted for the plan. Which they did — after Obama conceived it."
In an October presidential debate, Obama claimed that "the sequester is not something that I've proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed. It will not happen." PolitiFact rated that claim "mostly false." Obamaland's misinformation cookie is crumbling.
By Thursday's White House news briefing, the mutual disdain between the press corps and spokesman Jay Carney bubbled over. Reporters questioned dubious administration claims about layoffs attributed to sequester cuts. Ed Henry of Fox News asked why the White House had held a closed-to-the-press swearing in for Treasury Secretary Jack Lew.
Henry also is president of the White House Correspondents' Association, so Carney used the question to crack a joke about the group's complaint about reporters' lack of access to the president during a recent golfing vacation. Keep it up, White House, and the press corps will wear your scorn as a badge of honor.

The actor, who plays CIA veteran Saul Berenson in the Showtime series, tells The Hollywood Reporter he is hoping cable TV bosses can find a way to make their programming cheaper for poorer fans - and, in the meantime, he has found a way to make sure less well-off pals see his work on the acclaimed drama. He says, "We who are doing it are absolutely taking a pay cut, and we're still getting paid more than we deserve, in my opinion. "I want the poorest people in this county (U.S.) to have the finest that we can possibly create, and that's not how it's set up at the moment. I think that's a problem. Everything doesn't have to be about that bottom-line dollar figure. I wish that this extraordinary stuff that's being made by television today is available to everyone. "We're proud of what we're doing on Homeland, and there are some people - who are my friends - who can't afford $12, $14 or $15 a month. So we're bootlegging them copies of screeners (DVDs) because we're friends."
