Myanmar committee to 'grant liberty' to dissidents
More News from Agence France-Presse
YANGON—Myanmar's leader has set up a committee to review political prisoner cases "to grant them liberty", state media said Thursday, in a rare direct acknowledgement of dissidents in the nation's jails.
The regime, which long denied their existence, has freed hundreds of political detainees since President Thein Sein took power in March 2011, and announced a review of all "politically concerned" cases in November last year.
The latest statement referred specifically to "political prisoners" and pledged to define who is a "prisoner of conscience" among those jailed — many for several years or more — and work towards their release.
The committee members are yet to be picked, but will be made up of government representatives as well as civil society groups and other political party members, the statement in the English-language New Light of Myanmar said.
Presidential spokesman Ye Htut said the issue of prisoner releases was key towards achieving "national reconciliation".
But first, "it is important to decide who will be designated as political prisoners," he told AFP.
The government pledged the case review last year, and promised to allow the Red Cross to resume its prison visits, in a bid to burnish its reform credentials ahead of a landmark visit by US President Barack Obama.
In response to the country's political reforms, the West has begun rolling back sanctions and foreign firms are lining up to invest in the country.
Rights groups have accused Myanmar of wrongfully imprisoning some 2,000 political opponents, dissidents and journalists during decades of authoritarian junta rule.
Estimates of the number of political detainees still locked up vary but the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, a Thailand-based campaign group, put the figure at 222 in a list posted on its website last month.
Kyaw Hlaing, of the group Former Political Prisoners, welcomed the government's recognition of the jailed dissidents.
"It has been very difficult to the government to admit that there are political prisoners," he said, adding that he hoped many of the prisoners could be released by mid-2013 and putting their number at around 240.

NEW ORLEANS- With throws,crowds, and makeshift second lines,dozens of Mid-City neighbors showed they weren't going to let wet weather dampen their spirits Saturday.
Wet weather may have postponed Endymion to Sundayand moved its route to uptown, buta growing crowdSaturday lined Orleans Avenue anyway, cheering and throwing beads.
'Where else would you be?' askedJulie Sanders, whorecently moved back toNew Orleans.'People have been lined up here since Wednesday because this is the place to be! You don't need a parade, you've got all these people. It's great!'
The makeshift parade started with just two people standing on the Orleans Avenue neutral ground, and continued to grow. People sporting crowns poked their heads out from sunroofsas they drove past the crowd; even a rogue 'cleaning crew'carryingbrooms walked down the street. Several makeshift second lines also marched down Orleans Avenue. And every minute, the crowd continued to grow.
Jimmy Lopez helped start the celebration.
'It's already set up for a parade,' saidLopez.'I don't see why there shouldn't be one. Somebody had to start it, so the parade's picking up, we're starting to get more throws.'
And so, a growing crowd of parade-goers showed the resilience of a neighborhood that has bounced back from disaster, and wasn't going to let rain ruin their good time.
And they who weren't the only ones. Even without the parade, house parties raged along the route.
'This is New Orleans, rain can't stop a party in New Orleans!' said Jimmy Brown, leader of the band 'Just Us.'
Mid-City neighbors poured their time, money, and soul into planning parties during Endymion's parade, and they weren't going to let that go to waste.
'We were disappointed at first, but what we decided to do is do what New Orleans people do,'said Steve Rando. 'New Orleans people show up, rain or shine.'
Still, the parade's move was a big problem for some of the churches and businesses that line the route.
Grace Episcopal Church normally sells thousands of dollars of food during Endymion. Now, more than 60 pounds of chili sit in the church refrigerator, and dozens of boxes of chips, and cans of sodasit untouched.
'We were all extremely disappointed because a lot of us have spent long hours putting this together and it means a lot to our church,' said Betty Zachary, volunteer at Grace Episcopal Church.
Zachary said the church relies on food sales during Endymion to pay bills for several months.
But just next door, Mandina's Restaurant was still filled with customers.
' It was a letdown of course for the Mid-City area, but as you can see, locals are not going to let anything stop them,' said Joy Arbuckle, a longtime Mandina's waiter .
Meanwhile, those who, when the parade was canceled, created their own, said the true spirit of New Orleans means letting thegood times roll, regardless.
Endymion will roll uptown Sunday night behind Bacchus.

Hello lovely friends! It's Friday and the sun is huge in the sky here shining all around like a total show off hot shot and I love it! The best part is that it will continue throughout the weekend and be hanging around for all of next week so I can get out and about to some gardens and parks, bring my camera, and snappity snap snap! Speaking of being out and about…
I JUST found out the scoop yesterday over at Little Brown Pen about Wayfare magazine and I flipped through the pilot issue of this lovely travel-focused e-mag about to make its grand debut this summer. Seems my friend Nichole knows (and blogged about) her meet up with the Prêt à Voyager blogger who works for Wayfare, Anne Ditmeyer (the magazine's art director) which is how I found out about it. Good news travels fast thanks to wee little things called blogs and Nichole is always in the loop. She's SUCH a star.
Wayfare is, in a nutshell, a more fancy pants travel mag meant to one up the cheesy newsstand variety out there since it's presenting itself as more than just a place to find generic travel destinations. To me, Wayfare is all about embracing the wanderlust lifestyle that so many seem to have, especially lately. Most of us not only dream of travel but dream of leaving it all behind and relocating to our dream destination.
It's funny though, ever since relocating from Boston to northern Germany, I've spent a lot of time discussing wanderlust with my friends here and in other European countries and unlike my American pals, a lot less of them are interested in relocating to a new country to start all over again. When I poll my American girlfriends it's like 8 out of 10 want to relocate (mostly to Paris!) and nearly all of them would if family and jobs didn't tie them to their current spot. If you have entertained the thought of leaving it all behind, feel like taking a virtual vacation, need new ideas as to where to travel or simply want to live vicariously through others, Wayfare promises to feed your wanderlust cravings with stories of daring souls who are out there doing their thing.
Wayfare is as much about travel and relocation as good presentation and well written text. Great layouts, good looking fonts and the fact that they go beyond theme parks, NYC, Paris, Vegas, London and Rome gives it a major thumbs up from me. Not that I don't like mags featuring top destinations but hey, it's cool to see what's going on in Burundi, Ontario and western Oregon for instance — which their pilot issue just-so-happens to cover.
So there you have it, another e-mag on its way to digital newsstands nearest to you. Check out their pilot issue HERE.

Hello friends! I'm in one of those writing moods today where words just bubble forth like some kind of crazy fountain! It's a great mood to be in because now I'm home and no longer traveling so I CAN write on decor8 regularly again and it feels wonderful. I always miss blogging and the practice of writing daily when I'm on the road, writing is total freedom for me. Another freedom, or shall I say creative release (sounds weird but it really is), is when I pull together things visually into handmade books. I've been doing this for ages, since I was a little curious kid, and it started by pulling pages from teen magazines and Highlights magazine then collecting them into photo albums with those giant clear pages… You know the ones that you peel to stick in your pages on that strange adhesive so when you lay stuff on it the paper sorta sticks, then you press the clear page on top. Yeah, those old school albums, woot!
I filled those things with inspirations from magazine pages to stickers, letters from penpals and labels from things that I liked. I also used blank journals and diaries or handmade books that I made by stapling together copy paper with a stapler to form a gutter down the middle. I started doing those in the late 1970's when I was maybe 6 years old and I continued making them my entire life – writing in some, sticking things in others – I had sticker books, inspiration books, books I wrote and illustrated with my own stories, and diaries filled with secrets and wishes and how I imagined my "adult" life to be — which usually involved becoming an author, marrying a cute boy, having a baby and living in another country in a really nice house.
Well… Little me ended up wanting the same goals as I grew older and I often wonder at times if that clarity came through the consistent exercise of capturing my imagination and dreams into something more tangible like the books that I made over the years? I believe that the more you either write down or visually share with yourself and/or others, the more you capture your imagination in a sense and freeze it, perhaps it helps put you on your way to gaining a bit more clarity as you make your way through life. Interesting to ponder, right?
This spread was inspired by a home we shot in the English countryside recently. I came home and pulled this together using images that felt like the home I had worked in in the same color palette.
I almost want to challenge you to test this theory on your own life and to see if, after a year of consistently maintaining private journals and books, whether or not you start to gain a better sense of self. We're constantly evolving so there is never an end point to all of this since we'll be growing as long as we live (or at least lets make that our goal!) but the act of conscious "slow" living vs. hectic "speed" living IS something we really want to do, at least that's what I find most attractive these days as I see the hectic path is ultimately reallyyyyyyy boring and makes time go by much to quickly.
I'm wondering now if all of this tapping in and recording our inspirations, goals, heartaches, lessons learned, ideas, etc. is what enhances the experience of living in a way. What do you think?
This is a capture of fabrics and ribbons that I collected while in London for a project from various stores like Liberty and VV Rouleaux. I wanted to pull them all together in one place because now I'll always remember them in case I want to work from this palette in the future on another project.
I thought to go along with my words that I'd share a few images that I took with my iPhone today of these mood board pages that I made in a book over the past six weeks – they show some of the impressions that I've had on the road while I've been working on my next book. I didn't feel like writing my impressions from each trip in a diary because I have to write so much as it is INSIDE of the actual book and on this blog that the thought of writing a diary during this time made me a bit tense. I still, however, wanted to keep track of my inspirations along the way so I thought to do it in a visual way instead. Plus, it ended up inspiring me through a bit of a creative challenge. This book gave me a chance to record things with a glue stick and a few minutes of my time. I shared this with our Blogging Your Way Road Trip students recently in New York and they seemed to be very inspired by it. I hope you are too.
This was pulled together based on the same home in the English countryside that had inspired me so, so much. I used found items, washi tape, paint swatches, buttons, clips, etc. to pull together a paper that reflected the mood of that home.
Creating visual records can be very inspiring while you're doing them but also to look back on them, for me at least, I inspires me all over again. For instance from this book I am able to recall the exact things that struck a chord with me on certain trips — seeing them again gave me some new ideas for the future.
Remember… Mood boards don't have to be on actual boards on your wall. As I taught last year in the series of Mood Board Workshops in the US and London for Anthropologie, mood boards can be on a wall, in a book, in a manilla folder, in a mini mood board book (aka portable photo album with clear sleeves) or an inspiration wire which is horizontal and hung across a wall, window or above a sofa or bed – anywhere that you want really – where you can tack on what catches your eye at the moment. Visual recordings like this can be enlightening, especially as you begin to see patterns in your thinking, spot a theme or discover new ideas.
This is a spread that I created using tears and bits that I've been collecting in my desk drawer for several months. I noticed everything I had collected there fit together in a strange way so I decided to put them in the book so that I could refer to this later. I love seeing how gray, cream, goldenrod, industrial elements, strong graphics (like numbers, silhouettes and maps), polka dots and a bit of olive green can work with a touch of a floral fabric that is a bit country. Again, it's all about capturing moments and collecting them someplace outside of our own heads (or a desk drawer).
What I love about the books that I've been creating at home since I was a kid is that, unlike a board or string or something that's a bit decorative and public in your home that others potentially see, you don't have to edit out anything or hold back in your books. It's also different from a blog or Pinterest because your book can be private and a total immersion into self. Often when you compose mood boards at home or online you tend to hold back for some reason whereas a book that you can store can be less about sharing with others and more about sharing with yourself, personal growth, learning and saving to look back on for years to come. You can include themes that may be too embarrassing to share publicly or explore topics that you may feel are too private to pass around within your online social network. It's a very nice way to bookmark your life visually and I love it.
This was created when I got back from Paris a few weeks ago. Some visuals that reflected how I saw Paris…
I hope this post today inspired you somehow to be a bit more active when it comes to recording your thoughts in a more visual, organized but still fun and freestyle way. Always take time to absorb your surroundings, then collect them into something tangible so that your inspiration can be tapped in to during those "creative rut" periods…
What do you think of this idea to collect visual notes into small books at home? Do you do make these too? If so, post them on your blog and share the link below if you'd like so we can see them!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at ABC Kitchen in Manhattan not just once, but 3 times in the span of 11 days! I know, right!??! Amazing. It's a hard place to get a reservation but it seemed I knew the right people or had a stroke of luck. I want to tell you about it because I was so deeply inspired by the interior and from the exquisite organic meals that I enjoyed there. Here are some of the things you can expect to see in this space that are also sold in the adjacent ABC Home store in case you wanted to get this look at home…
Above: 1. Jan Burz porcelain 2. Vintage plates from your local flea market or antiques dealer 3. I loved the mugs – I ordered tea and was immediately impressed by these. I was told they sold out but now I see them on their website and am sad because I wanted a set of 6 for my home here in Germany. They were the absolute best mug ever. 4. Clear glass egg lamp, 5. Integral tables, 6. Basic white chairs you can find anywhere – these are the Steelwood chairs but they no longer stock them at ABC so try something like the Arper instead, 7. Elena Lyakir fine art photography, 8. Integral bar stool.
(I snapped this above with my iPhone during brunch on Sunday.)
Amazing chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is also the mastermind behind this gorgeous eatery, who also happens to be an author of a cookbook called, "Home Cooking with Jean-Georges," and I just bought a copy after visiting his restaurant because the food was that good. I'm so smitten by ABC Kitchen that I want to shout out to the world that if you ever get a chance to eat at this place, DO IT. These photos that I found online don't even do this place justice, it's even better in person.
ABC Kitchen is heavenly – the service was great and the crowd was completely free of pretentious creeps – you know the ones that normally flock to these types of foodie places – this was definitely a cool crowd but without the attitude which made the atmosphere even nicer. The food was top notch – fresh, organic, locally grown and amazing and the price point for what you ordered was excellent. Everything from their wine to cocktails, desserts and breads, brunch and dinner, salads and entrees – it was all impressive and exquisite – it's a real farm-t0-table experience.
The interior design is equally delicious with white brick walls, mercury glass behind the bar and in the bathrooms, exposed beam ceilings brought in from old barns, gorgeous furniture and lighting, lots of recycled elements… There was nothing about it that I would change. The design was mostly done by Paulette Cole, CEO and Creative Director of ABC Home, and felt cozy, unique, delicate and intimate. I also loved the vibe and that no matter how packed it became (and it was always packed), it was never too loud and the music never overpowered the conversation, it was there but subtle and the lighting made everyone look their best – it was always beautifully illuminated day or night. There are no windows in the dining space so there was no natural light, which definitely made it an ideal place for dinner but not idea for taking photos and definitely not ideal for brunch – I enjoyed brunch but it feels more like a nighttime spot for me and I totally loved it.
Another highlight of this space came down to the attention to detail – like the place settings. Brown eco-friendly kraft paper place mats, vintage linen napkins, petite flower arrangements in tiny square glass vases, vintage silverware, mismatched floral-patterned vintage china, handmade porcelain dinnerware in white by Jan Burz — nothing was too precious yet everything felt so, so precious – how did they do that!?
Some of my favorites on the menu included: Roast Carrot and Avocado Salad with Crunchy Seeds and Citrus, Cookie plate, Shaved Fluke with Blood Oranges, Roasted Kabocha Squash Toast fresh ricotta and apple cider vinegar, Crab toast, Roasted Beets with Homemade Yogurt,Caramelized Brussels Sprouts, Roasted Eggplant Toast with marinated peppers and lemon , Pear Bourdaloue Tart, Birthday Cake, Salted Caramel-Peanut Ice Cream Sundae, Grilled Chicken Waldorf Salad, Roasted Eggplant Toast with marinated peppers and lemon, Still Warm Fresh Mozzarella olive oil, sea salt and black pepper, Black Sea Bass with chilies and herbs, baby market potatoes and spinach and of course a glass of Riesling trocken, Sybille Kuntz 2008, mosel, Germany!
Yes, all of that – whenever I went I was with several people and we just ordered lots of plates and shared everything tapas style which I highly suggest doing because then you can try a little of everything. What a special space and a new favorite place to eat in Manhattan. While in NYC, I also ate at Il Bagatto (sat next to Kirstie Alley! ha ha!), La Esquina (great Mexican food in a really cool underground "hidden" space), The Standard Grill (ate undercooked fish and got deathly ill for two days – spent a lot of money to get sick), The Breslin (nice place but severely overpriced and very salty food, incredibly rude waitstaff – we were all shocked.)… Also ate at a few random places in Koreatown that were excellent and ate at a little cafe above Kinokuniya book center which had great sushi and Asian desserts and ate at two different locations of Le Pain Quotidien which has really good food for a "fast food" eatery.
Can't remember all of the other locations where we ate – but had breakfast a few times at egg in Brooklyn and that was fine but I still don't understand why Biscuits and Gravy had one biscuit on a plate with a bowl of gravy on the side – the waitress promised me that it only came with one biscuit, maybe I was just hungry or daft but I thought for $10 that was quite pricey for one biscuit! I noticed this happened a lot in NYC though with waitstaff, most acted totally disinterested when you had something to say that wasn't super positive and gushy. Oh well.
But ABC Kitchen rocked – loved my experiences there and I'd definitely go back and hope you'll check it out too!
A special thanks to my dear friend Leslie for sharing this gem of a place with me in the first place!

Hello dear friends! I must say that being in NYC is nothing less than energizing as my head is spinning with ideas and I feel very excited about the road ahead of me since I've been able to build out some ideas since coming here last week. I'm in New York until Sunday night, tomorrow I begin working with Debi Treloar, but for the first half of my trip I was with Leslie Shewring working on our class called the Blogging Your Way Road Trip.
For those of you familiar with Blogging Your Way, it is a class I founded three years ago online as a virtual workshop that takes place a few times each year and it is where I teach, along with my friend and biz partner Leslie, about taking a creative approach to blogging, photography, styling and many other topics that relate to all of that. Our goal is that once you learn the technical aspects of blogging in those dummies guides, you'll come to us to learn the creative and fun stuff. Of course, we teach some nuts and bolts too about copyright law, how to deal with copycats and template ideas but over all our approach is that if blogging is looked upon as less of an exercise of writing and more as a creative pursuit, your time online will count more and you'll reach more people. I believe strongly in using your blog as a catalyst to live your best life, meaning let the blog motivate you to do things that you love so you can then turn around and share them with your readers. Your blog should be a motivator, not a chore.
When I thought about teaching this class offline I wondered often how it would translate but after this weekend I can tell that it translated quite well! I felt very honored to be among so many talented and creative woman on both Saturday and Sunday, some flew in as far as London for our workshop and others from Seattle, Kentucky, Ohio, Boston, D.C., it was quite amazing really. Leslie, who taught the class too, was amazing in her execution of her materials previously taught online through our class. Taking all of that material offline to teach hands-on was exciting for me to see her do so effortlessly and very well. She rocked it and if you were at the class I am sure you will agree with me. Saturday was more of an intense learning session and Sunday was more about interacting and moving around the room – working hands on.
Overall, I felt the class gave students something very special in a small learning environment that just isn't offered that often out there – most classes as huge or part of conferences and while those are great – many of our students commented that they preferred working in and learning with smaller more "niche" groups and this is exactly what Leslie and I were shooting for – to provide our students with a very special learning environment where they could work closely with us and one another.
I've been teaching and lecturing for 15 years and same with Leslie, but this was a very special weekend and we enjoyed taking BYW offline and hope our students did too. We really bonded with loads of our students and want to thank Melissa de la Fuente, Michelle Verdugo and Julie Cove for helping us stay organized – these ladies were so critical to our success – and also to thank the very dear, dear Alex at Divine Studio for the gorgeous light studio where we taught. I also must thank Paul Lowe from Sweet Paul for being an inspirational drop-in guest on Sunday – his message was, "Just keep blogging, you never know where it can take you". With his online magazine about to become a print version sold exclusively at Anthropologie stores, he is a stellar example of someone talented who was able to find their voice and audience through blogging. I must also thank my publisher, Chronicle Books (Peter and Lorraine!!!) for supplying our students with lovely notebooks from Jill Bliss, Rifle Paper and for sending out the French General books for our students on Sunday.
THANK YOU STUDENTS for coming out to meet us and spend time learning together – we hope so much that you enjoyed it and will forever remember this road trip – it was wonderful!!!!!
xo, Holly

Male persons also suffer from Blue waffle disease. Although the number of blue waffle disease male patients is less than females yet it is not ignorable. Blue waffle disease in male affects the genital skin are and the same disease in female distort their vagina to a very high extent. Simply stating this infection hits the sensitive sexual part of the body in both male and female. This vaginal or genital virus causes severe pain and itching with stinky smell and disorientation in skin.
Normally male are not considered to be victims as the usual symptoms in females that are found are similar to those of vaginitis that is another vaginal disease found in females. It would be appropriate to state here that blue waffle is not a medical term; it is used as slang for females getting a blue skin colour on their infected vaginal portions. Waffles vaginal virus normally strikes and damages the skin of sexual sensitive are in females that is called vagina and in male their genital parts. Blue waffle STD/infections is a transmittable sexual infection in both genders.
The blue waffle disease male patients usually get this disease due to excessive usage of sexual toys and masturbation instruments that are not properly hygienically cleaned and sterilised after their usage. Keeping in mind that the usage of sex toys in men are very less in males and they usually do not use instruments, but rough and extensive sex can become a major cause for blue waffle disease in male persons. This is not as severe as AIDS but very painful disease that becomes unbearable. Male are advised to keep themselves clean as much as possible, use safe sexual intercourse and relationship measures and do not indulge in rough sex. By taking normal routine care of these few things can keep the males away from getting the male waffle disease. Blue waffle STD/infection is curable by taking preventive approach and measures as much as possible. Medication is not the solution to this severe waffle STD, only preventive measures and safe hygienic and sexual practices and habits can prevent it from occurring and that is the only cure for male blue waffle disease STD.

At its debut, the Ford Fusion was nothing less than a landmark car for the company. With the Fusion, Ford once again had a strong midsize sedan contender, something it hadn't fielded since the first-generation Taurus that debuted back in the mid-1980s. Savvy consumers have taken notice of the Fusion's spacious cabin, responsive driving dynamics, solid build quality and attractive styling.
In addition to its family-friendly features, the newest Ford Fusion provides a sporty, involving drive -- a rare quality in this segment and one that most folks can appreciate. Although we've been understandably even more impressed by the most recent generation, any Fusion should be an attractive choice for anybody wanting a comfortable, well-equipped family hauler.
Current Ford Fusion
The Ford Fusion is a midsize four-door sedan that's available in three trim levels: S, SE and Titanium. There are also the Fusion Hybrid and Fusion Energi (Plug-in Hybrid), which are covered in separate reviews.
The Fusion S and SE come with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 175 horsepower and matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. For the SE, there are three additional engine options. A turbocharged 1.6-liter four with 178 hp comes solely with a six-speed manual transmission. A turbocharged 1.5-liter four, also with 178 hp, comes solely with a six-speed automatic. And for maximum performance, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four makes 240 hp and only comes with the six-speed automatic but adds paddle shifters. The Fusion Titanium comes standard with the turbocharged 2.0-liter and an automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard across the board, while all-wheel drive is optional for the Titanium.
Standard highlights on the S include air-conditioning, the voice-activated Sync audio/cell phone interface and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player and a USB/iPod interface. The SE adds alloy wheels, a power driver seat, a rear seat center armrest and access to additional options, while the Titanium comes with a sport-tuned suspension, keyless ignition/entry, leather upholstery, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, rear parking sensors/camera, the MyFord Touch electronics interface and an upgraded sound system. Major options include a navigation system and an automated parking system.
In reviews, we've been very impressed by the latest Ford Fusion. The European-flavored driving experience we enjoyed in the previous generation is fully intact, meaning the current Fusion boasts a comfortable ride along with engaging, composed handling. The steering furthers this impression with its sharp, communicative nature. Furthermore, it's hard to go wrong with any of the Fusion's engine choices (not to mention the hybrids), but as expected the turbocharged ones deserve extra credit for their ability to blend spirited performance with impressive fuel efficiency.

This Operation has been modified as per Budget Revision 3 (see below)
On 15 December, fighting broke out in Juba, the capital of the Republic of South Sudan, between government forces and anti-government forces loyal to ex-Vice President, Riek Machar. The fighting and related, targeted violence against civilians, caused immediate displacement of large numbers of people either away from violence or to the bases of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).
The conflict has since spread to other areas of the country. Currently, seven states are directly or indirectly affected by the conflict. Neighbouring countries, including Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and the Republic of the Sudan have begun to receive refugees as fighting continues. Related Immediate Response (IR) EMOPs2have been developed to meet the immediate needs of South Sudanese fleeing to these countries, supplementing existing refugee operations. Displaced people have congregated in UNMISS bases in Juba, Bor, Bentiu and Malakal and are also reportedly gathering in remote locations, including areas beyond the reach of humanitarian actors

THE tee shirt
Buy a dri-fit tee and you may never go back. The material is very comfortable, but also performs well on an impromptu skate session. Won't stick to you and keeps you cool by wicking moisture away from the body. The fit of these tees is, in my opinion, is perfect. I'm 6'0 165lbs and a Large is just right. Slightly fitted but great for activity without pulling up.

Proof that you don't need bike-size wheels for a bump-free jog, the ones on the BOB Revolution 12" AW are just a foot in diameter. Tight corners are no problem, thanks to a swiveling front wheel -- just lock it for a straight run on especially uneven terrain. ($379; bobgear.com for stores)

Apple only spends about 2% of its revenue on R&D
Apple, the supposed master of innovation, only spends about 2% of it's revenue on research and development.
Despite a budgetary increase of 32% from $3.381 billion in 2012 to $4.475 billion in 2013, Apple still spends less than 3% of its revenue (net sales total $170.91 billion so far this year) on Research & Development of new products: something that will surely give ammunition to those skeptics who claim less innovation is taking place under Tim Cook's command than it ever did while Steve Jobs was at Apple's helm.

Wheatland Ferry -
Just southeast of the sweet community of Amity, a winding country road abruptly stops on the banks of the Willamette River. You've arrived at the Wheatland Ferry, a functioning link between the Amity area and metro Salem.
The Wheatland Ferry is a cable ferry that connects Marion County and Yamhill County across the Willamette River in the U.S. state of Oregon. The ferry travels approximately 580 feet (178 meters) across the river, depending on the height of the river, and is powered by two electric motors connected to an on-board diesel generator. The ferry is supported by two steel cables, one under water on the downriver side, and one overhead on the upriver side. The ferry also uses the overhead cable for steering.

Don't worry about which was first. Just add any games that fit the concept. When the new site launches, the first game will be chosen automatically based on release date.
This blog by Anna Anthropy seems to have popularized the term, though it was apparently coined by someone else in a forum earlier. She cites Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels) as masocore, and that one predates Takeshi's Challenge by nine months.

Tell me it isn't true. Rumor on the street has it that TV networks have banned a tampon company for making an ad that uses the word "vagina." Um, how exactly are we supposed to talk about tampons without using the word vagina? And what's wrong with that? Vagina vagina vagina! (Okay, did I just sound like a defiant little kid? Good.)
Apparently, after this infamous tampon ad was banned from three networks, they re-shot the ad and replaced "vagina" with "down there." Even with this change, two networks still wouldn't run the ad. Which means they made a tampon ad without ever once referencing the female genitalia. I mean…duh, people. That's like making a beer ad without ever referencing the mouth, lips, or tongue. Vaginas are where tampons GO.
Two Steps Back
Perhaps to no one's surprise, the company ended up killing the ad. Back to the drawing board where feminine hygiene commercials are made about women in running on the beach with billowing white scarves, with no references to any part of the female anatomy.
Once I cooled down after reading about this, I started thinking. Why are we so freakin' afraid to talk about what makes us uniquely female? I mean, seriously. Every single human being on this planet came out of one of those things we're not aloud to name on network television. The vagina is the source of all life, the portal of pleasure, the living, breathing heart of the world. But oh no. Don't even think about saying the word out loud. What gives?
Why Do We Get Squeamish?
First, a disclaimer. Yes, I'm an OB/GYN physician who wrote a book called What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend (on shelves next week! pre-order now! yahoo!). I actually wanted to name it Coochie Confidential, but my publisher wouldn't let me. I was told I could use the word coochie — or vagina or any other reference to the female genitalia — anywhere I wished within the text of the book. But not on the cover. Oh no. Not on the cover. "Down there" was suggestive enough. I said, "How 'bout Pussy Power?" (Tee hee.)
So yes, I'm probably more comfortable with vaginas than the average human. I've delivered other women's babies through them. I've done Pap smears inside of them. I've operated on them. I write about them. I've changed my daughter's diapers. And I've probably witnessed over 100,000 of them in all of their feminine glory throughout the course of my lifetime. I even have one of my own! So maybe I have a special perspective in feeling horrified that we're not allowed to use the word vagina on television. But I doubt I'm alone.
Not so sure? Do these words make you feel uncomfortable? Are you one of we socially shy ladies who wasn't raised to talk about your girly bits? Maybe your mother called it "Front bottom" or "wee wee" or "down there." But that doesn't mean we can't stop the madness and call it like it is. Vagina. Vagina. Say it with me. VAGINA. (You know you're grinning right about now, even if you are squirming in your seat.)
But it's more than just a game, friends. Language is a key part of empowerment. How can we be empowered to BE whole, beautiful beings who claim our femininity if we can't talk about it?

Diabetes Health Center
Herbs, Vitamins, and More for Diabetes
Vitamins and Minerals
The ADA recommends vitamin and mineral supplements for people with diabetes only if they may be deficient in them. For example, a daily multivitamin may be particularly helpful for those with diabetes who are
- Elderly
- Pregnant or lactating
- Vegetarians
- On low-calorie diets
The benefit of megadoses of vitamins is highly uncertain, according to the ADA's January 2003 position statement.
But it is important for your diet to contain all the vitamins you need. "I find, for most of my patients, it's very difficult for them to eat in the way I would love them to," Geil says. "I have no problems with a multivitamin and mineral supplement."
As for minerals, chromium has been much touted as a complementary diabetes treatment. The body needs this mineral to regulate blood sugar, but the ADA says taking a chromium supplement wouldn't do most people with diabetes any good. Research shows that chromium supplements can help those who have too little chromium, but most don't have a deficiency.
What's more, Geil says, "It's very difficult to determine chromium deficiency from lab work. We just don't have good testing for it right now."
Beyond Blood Sugar
Martin Stevens, MD, a researcher at the University of Michigan, recently finished a study (also funded by NCCAM) of the effects of Reiki, a traditional Eastern healing art, on people suffering from painful diabetic neuropathy.
Reiki is similar to therapeutic touch, but it's not hands-on. It's based on the idea of manipulating energy fields that practitioners believe surround the body in order to relieve pain or cure illness.
At present, Stevens and his colleagues are analyzing data gathered in the study, and they hope to present results at next year's annual ADA meeting. "There is a suggestion that there was a benefit, at least in some of the patients," Stevens says.
He says he thinks that Reiki could, in theory, act on the brain's pain centers and alter one's perception of pain. That could be seen in imaging studies of the brain, using technology such as MRI or CAT scans.
"We can actually directly test that, and we propose to do that if this study proves to be positive," Stevens says.

Nov 5, 2012 Comments Off on Netanyahu Promises: I'll Push The Button On Iran If I Must Pat Dollard
Excerpted from JP: Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu promised the Israeli public that he is capable of "pushing the button" to strike Iranian nuclear facilities if he felt he had to, in a Channel 2 investigative report aired Monday.
"I guarantee that as if I'm re-elected as prime minister I will not allow Iran to get a nuclear bomb," Netanyahu said in an interview. Asked if he was really capable of "pressing the button," Netanyahu replied: "I am capable, if I have to. I hope that I won't have to."He emphasized that he was not "rushing to war," and indicated that he would prefer to solve the issue through international sanctions. "Iran is progressing, step by step," he said. "Today we are not begging other people to help us. Today we are prepared ourselves."
The first part of the report, previewed Sunday, detailed how Netanyahu and Barak ordered the IDF to raise its alert level ahead of a possible attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in 2010, a move which drew virulent objections from both the IDF and Mossad chiefs.
During a meeting of select senior ministers in 2010, Netanyahu allegedly ordered the IDF to raise its state of alert to "P-plus," reserved for an imminent state of war, according to the report. Netanyahu was rebuffed by then-IDF chief of staff Gabi Ashkenazi and then-Mossad chief Meir Dagan, who said they considered the order "illegal."
Pressed on Monday's Channel 2 report on whether he needs the authorization of the IDF chief of staff for a strike on Iran, Netanyahu said "The responsibility ultimately rests with the prime minister."
Olmert: I don't trust Barak with military issues
Netanyahu also lent a hand to Defense Minister Ehud Barak, saying "the defense minister and I see eye to eye on the Iranian threat."
A significant portion of the Channel 2 report was devoted to exposing a rare public spat between two of Israel's highest-ranking politicians, former prime minister Ehud Olmert and Barak.
"I would very much prefer that this large a responsibility on these subjects (such as the Iranian nuclear program) will be in the hands of somebody else, not his," Olmert said of his defense minister. "I want someone willing to slam the table and say 'enough, this is what we're willing to do, this is what we're not.'"

Nightwing's Wind Tunnel (WIP) Conner lead Jessica into the wind tunnel towards Nightwing. She then hopped up onto his back as Conner went to the control panel, and pressed a button. The fans started to spin quickly, making a light gust of wind. "20 miles per hour", he said, as Jessica had her hands in the gently-flowing mane. Then the winds picked up. Jessica then lets go of the mane, and wraps her arms around the stallion's slender neck, with his mane already streaming back, and her t-shirt fluttering in the wind. "40 miles per hour", Conner said again. Nightwing was enjoying the winds blowing back his mane and tail; he didn't have to gallop, just stand in place. "Are you ready?" The teenage boy asked. "Yes" Jessica replied. "Okay. Now hold on tight!" he said before the wind tunnel sped up. "Holy crap!" Jessica cried as she held onto Nightwing's neck. Her shirt was flying, and the stallion's m
The Dragon Rider (prologue)*Airburst's PoV* The human world looked so hollow to me. For such a long time in my life, humans were battling against the dragons. I don't know why, but from how it looked, it was because of their population. I listened carefully to the humans when they said something like 'airplane', 'jet plane', even this funny word, 'helicopter' made me chuckle. I even saw how young some kids are, and get bullied, but as much as I wanted to help the victim, I was hearing this 'Area 51' that sounded like a slaughterhouse to me. I still walked alone on the small street, until I heard screaming around a corner ahead of me. I moved quietly to the source to see a tall human male in dark 'clothes' pinning a small human female with long 'blonde hair' up against the wall. "Nothin' left on ya?" He said, his voice deep. I moved closer to the bully: I've had enough of these creatures killing themselves for something that can be given to them later. I slowly approached the male until I clos
Winds of Fire (Preview) Megan saw Nightwing stand before her: his long, silky mane blowing in the wind. His violet eyes staring down at her from his small head high up on his slender, smooth neck. He then lowered his head down to Megan. He sniffed at her, while her silk dress cloth fluttered in the light breeze. "Wanna go for a run?" Megan asked. The tall stallion nodded excitedly, letting out a neigh. "Okay", she said before coming around to his left side. She was a bit scared. She was only five feet tall and 10 inches, while the strong horse's back in front of her was a bit higher than her. Megan then placed her hands on Nightwing's back, feeling his slick coat. How can I get on his back with the silk on, she asked herself. Then, as if the stallion was reading her thoughts, swung his head around and lifted up underneath her dress cloth. "Trying to help, I see?" She asked in a playful tone. the stallion snorted as if he were saying, "Just climb on". She then jumped, then felt Nightwing'

Frank Mulholland, PC, QC (born 18 April 1959) is a Scottish lawyer and has been Lord Advocate, one of the Great Officers of State of Scotland and the country's chief Law Officer, since 19 May 2011, having previously been Solicitor General, the junior Law Officer.[2] He was the first Advocate Depute and Senior Advocate Depute appointed from within the Procurator Fiscal Service, and only the second non-advocate appointed to the office of Lord Advocate, the first being his predecessor, Elish Angiolini.
During his career he appeared for the Crown in the 2004 Glasgow Ice Cream Wars appeals, prosecuted the significant HM Advocate v Transco case in 2005, the first ever prosecution of a public limited company for culpable homicide in the country, and oversaw prosecution of the infamous 2007 World's End murder trial, which collapsed due to insufficient evidence and resulted in a public dispute between the Lord Advocate of the time, Elish Angiolini, and the Lord Justice General, Lord Hamilton.
Early life[edit]
Mulholland was born on 18 April 1959 in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire,[3] to Charles and Jean Mulholland. He attended St Bernard's Primary School and Columba High School (now defunct) in Coatbridge. He studied at the School of Law of the University of Aberdeen, graduating with an LL.B. in 1981 and Diploma in Legal Practice in 1982, and completed his traineeship with Bird, Semple and Crawford Herron, Solicitors, Glasgow, being admitted as a solicitor in 1984, at which time he joined the Procurator Fiscal Service.[2]
Mulholland's first posting was as a Procurator Fiscal Depute at Greenock, before being transferred to the same post at Glasgow in 1987.[2] He remained there until 1991, when he was transferred to the Crown Office, working as a solicitor in the High Court Unit.[2] He became a Notary Public (NP) in 1992 and joined the Society of Solicitors in the Supreme Courts of Scotland in 1993.[3] In 1994, he moved from the Crown Office's High Court Unit to its Appeals Unit, and in 1995 qualified as a solicitor-advocate.[1]
In 1997, he became the first member of the Procurator Fiscal service to be appointed an Advocate Depute,[2] a lawyer charged with prosecuting in the High Courtin the name of the Lord Advocate. He also graduated that year from the University of Edinburgh with a degree of Master of Business Administration (MBA).[3] He became Assistant Procurator Fiscal at Edinburgh in 1999 and District Procurator Fiscal in 2000.[2]
He remained in office at Edinburgh until 2003, when he returned to the ranks of Crown Counsel as the Senior Advocate Depute. He prosecuted the significant HM Advocate v Transco plc case, the first ever prosecution of a public limited company for culpable homicide in Scotland, and represented the Crown in the successful 2004 appeals by Thomas Campbell and Joe Steele, convicted over the so-called Glasgow Ice Cream Wars. He was appointed Queens Counsel (QC) in 2005,[3] in the same round of appointments as John Beckett, whom he would later succeed as Solicitor General.[4]
In January 2006, Mulholland was appointed by Lord Advocate Colin Boyd as Area Procurator Fiscal for Lothian and Borders, the head of the Procurator Fiscal Service in that sheriffdom.[2][5][6] In this role, he oversaw the high-profile trial for the 1977 World's End murders,[2] which was thrown out of court by the trial judge, Lord Clarke, due to a lack of evidence. The Lord Advocate at the time, Elish Angiolini, made a statement to the Scottish Parliament, saying she was "disappointed" at the decision. This was criticised by Lord Justice General Lord Hamilton, head of the Scottish judiciary, who said it undermined the independence of the judiciary.[7][8]
Solicitor General[edit]
Following the 2007 Scottish election, newly elected SNP First Minister Alex Salmond appointed Mulholland to succeed Labour Party member[9] John Beckett as Solicitor General, the junior of the two Law Officers of the Crown in Scotland. Beckett, who had been junior defence counsel for Abdelbaset al-Megrahi in the Lockerbie trial, was subsequently appointed a floating sheriff.[10] The SNP government said at the time that they believed Mulholland to have no political affiliation.[1] His appointment was approved by the Scottish Parliament without the need for a vote[11] and he was sworn in as Solicitor General at a ceremony at the Court of Session on 30 May 2007. His appointment was significant in that it was the first time neither the Lord Advocate nor the Solicitor General had been a member of the Faculty of Advocates.[12] Both were invited to join the Faculty by its Dean, Richard Keen, in October 2008.[13]
Whilst Solicitor General, he formed the new Serious and Organised Crime Division within the Crown Office,[14] as well as leading the successful prosecution of Peter Tobin in 2007 for the 1991 murder of fifteen-year-old Vicky Hamilton.
Lord Advocate[edit]
Mulholland was appointed Lord Advocate, the senior Law Officer in Scotland, following the 2011 Scottish elections. He succeeded Elish Angiolini and his appointment was agreed by the Scottish Parliament on 25 May.[15] He was succeeded as Solicitor General by Lesley Thomson, Area Procurator Fiscal for Glasgow.
On 13 July 2011, Mulholland was appointed to the Privy Council.[16]
In June 2013, he was awarded an honorary degree from the University of Aberdeen by the Duchess of Rothesay.[17]
