Gutrunners Race Through Chicago for Digestive Wellness
CINCINNATI, April 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) today announced its sponsorship of the 2nd annual Gutrunners(TM) 5K Run/1 Mile Walk, taking place Sunday, May 8, 2011, in Chicago, Ill. In the U.S., every three minutes someone is diagnosed with colon cancer and every 10 minutes someone dies from colon cancer. Gutrunners, a not-for-profit charity, is dedicated to improving digestive health in the community through education and exercise.
Gutrunners founder Robynne K. Chutkan, M.D., assistant professor at Georgetown University Hospital and founder and medical director of Digestive Center for Women, LLC, hopes the charity will do for digestive diseases what Team In Training has done for leukemia and lymphoma: raise money for research, education and resources. She feels strongly that a better diet and increased exercise has a large role in preventing gastrointestinal illness.
"Through Gutrunners, I wanted to send the message that exercise and proper nutrition are very powerful tools for disease prevention," says Dr. Chutkan. "At the end of the day, race participants see that they have not only improved their own health, but the funds they have raised could improve someone else's."
Funds raised through Gutrunners races go directly to the colonoscopy access program, patient education, and obesity and colorectal cancer research. The mission of Gutrunners is to provide patients resources and wellness information to address obesity and digestive diseases such as Crohn's disease, chronic constipation, IBS, and colon cancer.
"As a sponsor of this important race, we hope to help empower consumers across the U.S. to join us in the effort to improve the health of others by increasing access to colorectal cancer screenings and supporting digestive wellness education and research," says David Lacy, Marketing Director, Procter & Gamble.
The Gutrunners 5K Run/1 Mile Walk is open to all Digestive Disease Week® attendees, family members, exhibitors and Chicago-area residents. Participants will start at Soldier Field, run south on the running path to 31st Street Beach, turn around and head back north to Soldier Field.
To register for the race, visit www.gutrunners.com/payDDW2.html. Registration includes official race T-shirt, post-race breakfast, prizes and goodie bags.
In addition to Procter & Gamble, Gutrunners is also supported by The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, PENTAX, Given Imaging, and Warner Chilcott.

BoPs are completely different. And the dev team has to make them adhere to a different standard of itemization and design budget. They're not escorts. Never have been.
If the federation had Raiders, nobody would fly the federation escorts.
Fast, quick-turning, high-firepower and reliant on evasion instead of tanking.
Fed escorts don't turn as fast as BoPs. Have more firepower on some of them (5 tac consoles, one even has 5 forward weapons). Nothing on the fed side has the evasion ability of a battle cloak. And it pays a huge price in tanking for that.
BoPs are similar to Escorts in that they can equip DHCs. But so can a Vesta and a Galaxy X. None of them are anything like a BoP.

So far I have seen (this year):
Star Trek. Pretty good. I love how they restarted the franchise. One bad decision after another had pretty much ran it into the ground. It needed some drastic life support, and JJ Abrams delivered. The casting is nearly perfect. I cannot wait for the third.
Man of Steel. I disagree with some of the above comments. This IS a departure from the comic book. However, this IS what Superman would be like if he actually existed. You have to look back at the time when the comics first came out to understand why Superman acts the way he has for the past 3/4 of a century. The same can be said for the Batman franchise. The last movies were "real". They were not a running gag fest with cheesy comedic villains. Yes, it is a departure from the tone of the comics, but for the better, IMO.
Despicable Me 2. I love animated movies and the minions are too funny to miss. I love it when they sing! Their renditions of "I Swear" (Underwear) by All-4-One and "Y.M.C.A." (Mocha) by the Village People are simply hilarious in their language!
Cannot wait for Pacific Rim!

I've become addicted to thinking about gamification thanks to a class I took about the topic via Coursera, an online education platform. It's impossible not to. The course gamed my mind to think about game elements all of the time. I started to search for examples of gamifying" music, but they often left me wanting more.
For those that may be unfamiliar with the term, gamification is — as defined by Professor Kevin Werbach in the class — the use of game elements and game design techniques in non-game contexts." Foursquare is an often-cited example of gamification that uses points, badges, and leaderboards to encourage people to check in at various locations using the app. These game elements aren't the main purpose of their service, but they are used to spark a behavior from members.
With all of the new online music services, communities, bands, record labels, and live events, there has to be a lot of gaming potential in the music industry, right? The best answer I can come up with is perhaps." There have certainly been some attempts made that can be classified as gamification, but whether or not the game elements are having a direct effect on behavior is another story.
Turntable.fm is a perfect example of a gamified music service. In addition to DJing in a chat room circa the late-90s AOL days, the site allows players to collect points when people rate their song as awesome," and by earning more points a player can change their DJ avatar. Certain avatars represent frequent users or as high as super-users, so other players can recognize your status.
Another gamification example is the music community Phantasy Tour, which consists of fans of jam bands such as Phish, moe., Umphrey's McGee, The Disco Biscuits, and a few more of their brethren. This is a better example of using game elements to enhance the experience of the community and even strength the relationships and conversations of the people involved.
Fans of jam bands love tracking set lists from show to show for a band because it changes every night. Phantasy Tour lets fans pick which songs they think will be played each night, what the first and second set openers and closers will be, and what will be the more frequently played song on tour, etc. Players receive points based on the number of correct answers with winners being named at the end of the tour. No tangible or intangible rewards, just passionate fans having some fun.
The beauty of Phantasy Tour's point system and game elements is that they don't drive community engagement, but enhance an experience members are already enthusiastic about. The game itself should never be the primary focus of a gamified system. For example, the points and avatars in Turntable.fm hardly do the site justice and are mere tactics thrown into a service that was unique and exciting to begin with. In his course, Werbach taught that gamified elements need to be purposive, analytical, creative, and human centered. Turntable.fm is human centered, but the rest hardly qualify when points are accumulated from a single button click. The fun lies in playing songs with friends and chatting in real-time. The button clicks and intangible avatars add nothing to the quality of the service.
With these examples in mind, it becomes hard to gauge gamification's place in the musical realm, if there is one. Do game elements tarnish an experience that can be so personal and emotional? Does a band creating a point system to track its top fans spoil the band-audience relationship? It's certainly a possibility, which is why those who integrate game elements into their company's strategy need to be very mindful of their purpose and the potential downside it presents.
In the end, it's about dumbing down the experience versus employing smart strategies and execution. The dumbing down comes in the form of what Margaret Robinson of Hide&Seek calls pointsification." She says that by using items such as points, badges, and leaderboards as the main features of products that users interact with, it becomes the process of taking the thing that is least essential to games representing it as the core of the experience."
Turntable.fm has fallen victim to the pointsification trend. Music sharing service Thesixtyone is a bit more detailed with its game elements, but still contains the points, badges, and leaderboards that have riddled so many gamification efforts. Because of the strong focus on these three elements, additional terms have been coined that seek to expose gamification for being deceptive in nature. The full-blown game approach by TastemakerX is one that more people in the music industry should consider. This is because as gamification grows in popularity, it becomes clear that many companies are using it in a more exploitive manner.
Ian Bogost, a video game designer, uses the term exploitationware" — an intentional con companies employ to elicit a certain action people wouldn't normally do. I don't think any online music services have ventured into this territory, but as gamification continues its ascension and adoption, it is destined that some will come along using tricks in an effort to make money. People say the major labels are dying, so it seems likely that they will latch onto the next big thing. To explain Bogost's exploitationware theory further, it becomes necessary to consider how gamification undermines the nature of economic and social exchange between the two parties involved — the creator and the player. Quoting Bogost:
In particular, gamification proposes to replace real incentives with fictional ones. Real incentives come at a cost but provide value for both parties based on a relationship of trust. By contrast, pretend incentives reduce or eliminate costs, but in so doing they away both value and trust."Listening to and absorbing music is an activity that humans need. We rely on it to support or alter our emotions. That's an intense action, and the idea of bringing points, badges, and avatars to the mix trivializes the entire experience. I want to listen to music that I enjoy without having to worry about my point accumulation. Perhaps gamification isn't a strategy that artists and online music services should rely on, because when it comes to music, people want two things: 1) They want it to be good; and 2) they want it to be accessible. Game elements need not apply.
Labels may be more appropriate because they are businesses. There is a monetary exchange between customers and labels, and frequent customers of labels should be rewarded since they are purchasing directly from the source as opposed to an iTunes or Amazon. A couple of simple and reasonable game elements would be if labels used reward programs and point accumulation to attract and retain customers. It's simple, and the activities could strengthen the bond between the two entities by increasing the number of interactions and exchanges between them. Drip.fm is built similarly to this. The service allows people to connect with specific labels for a monthly fee and then receive perks designated by each label. It's not really a gamified setup, but it's a positive step towards connecting fans with the music that they care about.
The main thing that I've learned is that anything can be gamified, but it's a risky venture. Smart gamification has shown signs of success in businesses and organizations around the world, but gamifying an art, or how people experience art, walks a dangerously thin line between appropriate and offensive. People who implement gamification strategies often focus on the outcome they seek for their business and forget the premise that games should be fun. Music is already fun without the presence of game design and game elements, but perhaps there are other organizations that are tied to music where it can lend a helping hand.

Facebook Founder Says Challenging Age Limits Not a Big Priority
Filed under: In The News, Media
You have to be at least 13 to have a Facebook account under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, and the site's own terms and conditions mirror the law.
Zuckerberg, speaking at a summit on innovation education in New Jersey this week, said he would challenge the law and change Facebook's rules at some point. His comments touched off a small media firestorm.
He now wants to clarify his comments, MSNBC reports.
"We're not trying to work on the ability for people under the age of 13 to sign up," Zuckerberg told reporters when asked about the issue at the e-G8 Internet forum in Paris May 25.
Despite the remarks he made earlier, Zuckerberg says the complexity of the issue and laws surrounding it move changing the age restriction a low priority for his company.
"That's just not top of the list of things for us to figure out right now," Zuckerberg tells the press at the Paris summit. "Some time in the future, I think it makes sense to explore that, but we're not working on it right now."

3-D Perspective Views of Venusian Terrains
April 4, 2003
The view shows a 100-km-wide nova superposed on Yavine Corona, a 500-km-wide asymmetric feature at latitude 5 degrees S., longitude 248.5 degrees; looking northeast. Coronae are roughly circular, volcanic features believed to form over hot upwellings of magma within the Venusian mantle. Yavine corona contains 2 novae; nova are circular hills with star-shaped fractures. The view is a close-up of the southern nova showing its fractures to be grabens or fault bound depressions. Novae may represent an intermediate stage in coronae formation.

Villa Nadia is a luxurious private villa. It has been furnished with a sumptuous, elegant feel and is extremely spacious. Situated on the Golden Mile of Marbella it is surrounded by high-class restaurants, including the famous Marbella Club Hotel, and is a few minutes drive from both the picturesque old town of Marbella and the glitzy 'jet-set' port of Puerto Banus. For beach lovers a wide sandy beach is a mere 6-8 minutes walk away. We have an excellent English agent who will meet you on your arrival at the Villa and be available at all times for any queries, additional requirements or just local information. We also provide you with a welcome pack of groceries. This superb villa has all the facilities you would expect - air conditioning throughout, underfloor heating for winter breaks, private heated pool and gardens, built in BBQ, etc. This villa is ideal for family holidays, winter golfing trips and for the perfect traditional Spanish experience. It is in the centre of it all !
Exterior of the Villa: The large semi-covered terrace runs the entire length of the villa providing a comfortable outside dining area and with marvellous views over the lovely gardens and swimming pool, it makes a great setting for alfresco eating on lazy summer evenings. Green lawns surround the lovely 8 x 4 metre heated swimming pool, which is entered via graduated steps. It is surrounded by an extensive sunbathing terrace with ample sun beds. An elevated barbecue terrace with a built-in barbecue and additional garden furniture is another perfect setting to enjoy the Spanish way of life. The villa has two balconies which are accessed via the bedrooms with wonderful views to the pool and the sea.
My husband and I fell in love with Spain and its people many years ago but like most of us had to put in many years of hard work before we could afford the property we wanted in the area of our choice, Marbella.
We bought Villa Nadia as a very run down finca and spent two years rebuilding and extending it. We consider it still to be a work in progress as we are continually adding new features every year. The main reason we bought Villa Nadia is its fantastically central location. We are slap bang in the middle of the Golden Mile directly across the road from the famous Marbella Club Hotel.
The unique benefits enjoyed by Villa Nadia all centre around its location and space. We have over twenty excellent restaurants within 5 minutes walk. The beach is only 6-8 mins walk and there are two large supermarkets within a 10 min walk as well. The villa itself is very spacious even for large groups and the garden is very private. Villa Nadia is perfect for winter getaways as the weather in Marbella is often equivalent to a UK summer and for the chillier evenings we have underfloor heating throughout and a heated pool.
I have stayed at Villa Nadia at the end of August 14.
Not only the villa is a very relaxing place but in addition, both the owner and the property manager will do whatever they can to make your stay as relaxing and as enjoyable as possible.
The pool and the garden complete an amazing 5 bed estate which is very well located and perfectly maintained.
I stayed at Villa Nadia with 11 friends for a golf trip and it was absolutely perfect. The best thing about it is the shared living space including the living room, outside tables, loungers, BBQ area and pool - perfect for a large group of guys to hang out in, chat, eat, have a few beers, etc. Dealing with Linda and checking in was perfect and hassle free, they were very friendly and helpful. Overall, 5/5 perfect trip. Thanks.
Villa Nadia provides excellent accomodation and entertaining space as well as being very well situated just 20 minutes walk from the centre of Marbella, 5 minutes by taxi. There are also plenty of restaurants and a beach very close by. The owner is also extremely helpful. We have stayed in the villa twice (groups of 8 and 10) and there is plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommended.
My wife and I stayed at this villa for our first overseas holiday with our 2 yr-old son and it was ideal. The pool is not too big and scary for little ones and we could walk to the beach with him in minutes (early evening is a great time to go with toddlers). We also found that as there were only three of us we could use the stair gate to block off the upstairs and use just the ground floor of the villa, so no stairs to worry about. There are a couple of steps down to the pool from the terrace but we were always with him when he went to the pool anyway - which was all the time!!
We had hired a car so went off to a few different places on the coast but could have happily stayed around the villa all the time. Very handy for restaurants (the Indian one a hundred yards away is excellent). After this relaxing and wonderfully private holiday, we don't plan to stay in hotels again!
My wife and I have stayed at this wonderful villa twice!!
We enjoyed it so much that we had to come back again.
The setting is very chic and spanish.Lots of space to enjoy where you can just un-wind and chill or if you come with friends and family you are not in one-another's face's as the rooms and grounds have lots of space. The layout is spot on. The heated pool is just great for cooling down after sun bathing in the well maintained grounds.
The location is perfect for enjoying all that the costa del sol has to offer.Marbella and Porto Banus is a five minute taxi drive and within 5 minutes walking distance you can savour a host of international restaurants.
From the villa you can reach most of the great golf courses within 5mins/30mins. Wonderful beach and beach restaurant just 10mins walk.
This is a fabulous villa for a spanish vacation and we hope to return again soon.
Thank you for a brilliant holiday. The villa was even better than the photos suggested, all the rooms were so big! The location was perfect, we found we could walk to a different restaurant every night and have drink without worrying about someone driving or paying for a taxi.
Good restaurants we found were; El Portalon (Spanish), B.Ayres (Argentinian), Sukothai (Thai) and Da Bruno (Italian). If you are on a budget try Venta Los Pacos or Di Maria who both do excellent 'Menu del Dias' for about £8.
I know it's a bit sad, but it was also great to have all the familiar TV channels from the UK so we didn't miss our favourites. Another reassuring factor for us was having an english speaking agent in case a problem arose - thankfully we didn't have any need to call but Angela was wonderfully helpful and friendly.
Fantastic villa, immaculate and equipped to a very high standard, set in peaceful surroundings. Great sized rooms, lovely airy feeling.
Great location close to Marbella and Porta Banus. You can easily walk along the promenade to Marbella with its wonderful culture, shops and restaurants or for a lively night out go to Porta Banus. There are also some wonderful restaurants near to the villa.
The swimming pool is ideal for lazing and barbecues, however if you prefer a swim in the sea, the beach is a pleasant 10 minute stroll away, where you will also find a variety of beach bars and restaurants.
We went at Christmas and didn't make as much use of the pool or shaded veranda as we would if the weather was warmer. Guess we'll have to go back in the Summer!
Villa Nadia is located on the prestigious Golden Mile of Marbella. The beach is only 500 metres away and has a promenade that leads all the way to the harbours of Puerto Banús to the west and Marbella to the east. A car would not be essential as there is a supermarket and a number of restaurants within 100 metre walk from the villa. Puerto Banús is only two kilometres drive away where you have several good restaurants, clubs, bars and celeb spotting. There is also a cinema for the few rainy days that show movies in their original language so many American/British films can be seen in English. The beach along the promenade that stretches from Puerto Banús to Marbella is sandy and broad. Beach bars are open during the summer and serve food as well as drinks. The Golden Mile has some of the most celebrated restaurants in Marbella. The centre of Marbella, with it's beautiful 'Casco Antiguo' (Old Town) and excellent shopping, is just a four-minute drive away.
Other Activities: jet skis
Golf: For those wishing to play golf, Marbella is surrounded by championship golf courses and driving ranges there are more than 20 courses just in the municipality of Marbella alone. There are few places in the world that can match the Costa del Sol as destination for golf tourism. The Costa del Golf (as affectionately known by golfers) is proving to be irresistible. Golf course owners are re-investing in their courses to improve their quality still further and there are no longer any weak links, each course offering its own kind of challenge on perfect fairways and greens. The demand is so great that many new courses are being developed and in the more famous courses, such as Valderrama, rounds need to be booked months in advance. We are happy to help with any bookings you may wish to make.

To choose which ole to play the probabilities are calculated: When two dices are rolled there are a total of 36 outcomes shown as below:
The sum of the two dice will be 11 in the following cases,
The probability that a 7or and 11 is,
The probability that a 7 or 11 does not appears is,
If a 7 or an 11 does not appear it is counted as a point and on the second roll if a same point again appears then the player wins. If the same point does not appear then the player again gets a chance to roll the dice. But if in the second roll a 7 or an 11 appears then the house wins.
In the second roll: The probability that the player wins in the next roll when the same point comes:
Probability that the house wins in the second role is,
Therefore, there more possibility that he house wins and hence so will choose the role of.

I travel every second week for work and have stayed at a range of hotels right thorughout the UK. The food was wonderful as was the restaurant service however the rooms are overpriced at 89 pounds given the wifi signal is so weak and I needed to get some work done, every other hotel I stay at includes breakfast, considering the price they need to have a re-think as the rooms aren't worth what they are charging. Suprised this didn't include any breakfast not even a bowl of cereal. less
This is a great hotel - service and food are excellent and it is in a good location for exploring Canterbury. Will be returning often and have already recommended to friends and Family.
The room we had was great in every way- comfortable bed large bathroom and very clean.Could not fault the Hotel.The breakfast was spot on, cooked to order if you wanted or self serve from buffet.Perfect Hotel with friendly staff in every department. less
We have stayed here on other occasions, excellent presentation, beds were comfortable and the rooms spacious yet cosy. Staff were incredibly helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the General Manager, Caroline, a credit to the Hotel and the Brand. less
Perfectly good quality accommodation. Decor is faded and dated but overall fine.
The staff are incredibly helpful and attentive and for a short stay this is good value and enjoyable.
Food is hearty and well prepared.
Our top-floor room was quite large, but beware, no lift !
Stayed for one evening on the 22nd while visiting family. Friendly greeting from reception. Stayed in a 'superior' room which was a nice size and clean. View was a bit poor as we were at the rear of the hotel which looked over a building site (they are having work done) but no noise and it was really not a problem. Enjoyed our stay and would stay here again. All staff I met were very friendly and I would recommend this hotel. less

Active within 3 days
Psssst....Over here! :)
So I need to tell you about myself, eh? I spend my mornings and early afternoons teaching art at a Christian preschool. In the late afternoons I provide ABA therapy to kids with autism. I find what I do to be very rewarding. I received my Bachelor degree in Social Science/Education about a year ago and recently received my teacher certification in special education. I'm from San Antonio, but my dad was in the Air Force (yup...Military brat) so we did a bit of moving around. We always ended up back here, so San Antonio has always been home for me. Most people will say that I tend to be quiet when first meeting someone. But that doesn't last for too long. Once I get to know you, I open up. I like to ease tension with humor. From there on, I seem to keep the humor. Hey, without laughter, what is life? But, I know when to be serious. So a match would definitly be someone who has a sense of humor, yet can also be serious when needed. Honesty is another important trait. Just be yourself and be honest from the get-go, and all else will fall into place. Another thing about me, I am very much into anything art related. I like painting, drawing, photography, poetry, cooking(I love to whip up a new creation in the kitchen), movies(as long as it doesn't put me to sleep, I'll watch it), music(I like a wide variety of music; I don't listen to just one genre). So, pretty much anything that has to do with creating or observing art, I love it! Besides that, you'll have to just ask if you want to know more. Come on......you know you want to:)
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Swimming, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Birds, Cats, Dogs
I like Exotic Pets, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc., Horses
Middle of the Road
I love getting out and about, but I also don't mind staying in. I do not feel the need to always go out. I am not much into clubs; I seem to have outgrown that.
I enjoy all types of music. I feel that every type of music has something to offer.
I enjoy anything art relayed, whether it is creating or observing. This can include whipping up a creation in the kitchen, photographing flowers for my next painting, or just listening to music.
Most of what I read is work related.

infoDev is proud to announce the successful bidders to host the African Regional Mobile Application Laboratory as part of the Government of Finland and Nokia program, Creating Sustainable Businesses in the Knowledge Economy program. The mobile apps labs will be focal points run and used by Africans working to increase the competitiveness of innovative enterprises working in mobile content and applications. There will be one lab each in East and Southern Africa where local companies, technologists and experts can collaborate to develop locally relevant applications that meet user demands and build sustainable businesses.
The *iHub consortium, comprising Nairobi's iHub, eMobilis, the World Wide Web Foundation and The University of Nairobi School of Computing and Informatics, was chosen to host the East Africa lab.
In South Africa, the Meraka consortium, comprising the CSIR Meraka Institute, Innovation Hub, Innovation Lab and Ungana-Afrika, will collaborate to host the Southern Africa lab.
Announcing the winners at the AITEC East African ICT Summit, infoDev's lead ICT policy specialist, Dr. Tim Kelly, said "These two successful consortiums were selected out of thirty nine original applicants; nine of which were shortlisted. The enthusiastic response to infoDev's call for proposals is especially exciting as it has already created partnerships between applicants and also points out several avenues and organizations for future collaboration."
Each lab will be a platform for building the technical skills, business nous and personal relationships needed to build scalable mobile solutions into thriving businesses that address social needs. As well as providing state of the art equipment, the labs will offer technical training and workshops and connect developers and entrepreneurs with potential investors, academic experts, and even public sector leaders.
The *iHub is Nairobi's Innovation Hub which is an enabler and catalyst within the technology community. With the consortium comprising eMobilis, the University of Nairobi and the Web Foundation we seek to encourage open-innovation within the tech community.
Jessica Colao, manager of the *iHub , said; "iHub is the nucleus of what is already a vibrant technology community that lives and breathes open innovation. We work with everyone, sharing information, sparking ideas off one another to make enterprises more innovative and help technological innovators build businesses with entrepreneurs."
In South Africa, the consortium of the Meraka Institute of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Innovation Hub, Innovation Lab and Ungana-Afrika already boast wide and deep relationships in business, the public sector, civil society and academia. With many successful projects already delivered in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Meraka consortium brings together technology innovators every key sector across the region.
Laurens Cloete, acting Executive Director of the CSIR Meraka Institute, said "The Meraka consortium of the CSIR Meraka Institute, Innovation Hub, Innovation Lab and Ungana-Afrika is a great platform for the m-apps lab. We bring together key players in the southern African ecosystem with complementary expertise combining Meraka's R&D muscle with the world class facilities and incubation experience of The Innovation Hub which is further enhanced with the contributions from Ungana-Afrika and InnovationLab. With our strong links with government, universities and business in South Africa and many successful ICT collaborations within the countries of southern Africa we are excited about the potential of the m-apps lab."

AC Milan youngster Stephan El Shaarawy has welcomed comparisons with Samuel Eto'o.
The striker has scored three goals in the last two games for Milan and Vice-President Adriano Galliani said he reminded him of ex-Inter Milan star Eto'o.
"Galliani said this because, like Eto'o, I work hard in attack and defence. That is what Massimiliano Allegri asks of me.
"I have always said Kaka is the player who inspired me the most, above all because we have fairly similar characteristics. In any case, I am Stephan El Shaarawy and am focused on doing well with my own qualities," the 19-year-old told Milan Channel.
"I want to dedicate the goals and last night's victory to all our fans who stayed close to the squad. The team remained united despite the fact we are going through a particularly complicated period.
"I also dedicated them to the Coach, though he knows that he has the full faith of the entire team. I am trying to pay him back for everything he gave me."

Over the course of these diaries, both myself and other FOTHOM aficianados have tried to stress that the UK hacking scandal is just one indication of the corrupt and anti-competitive practices that characterise the modal monopoly of Newscorp.
Now another scandal is breaking which, like the looming shareholder rebellion, allegations of satellite card hacking in Italy and the Floorgraphics case prove once again that - like Watergate - the current scandal being investigated by no less than three large scale police operations in the UK, is only the tip of the iceberg, and that RICO violations are the best way for the current DOJ investigation to go.
Now the Wall Street Journal has news of the resignation of one of its chief executives:
LONDON—Dow Jones & Co.'s top European executive resigned Tuesday following an internal investigation into two articles published in The Wall Street Journal Europe that featured a company with a contractual link to the paper's circulation department.
Andrew Langhoff, managing director of Dow Jones & Co. in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Europe, stepped down after an internal probe showed two articles in the paper's Special Reports section had been prompted by an agreement the circulation department struck with Executive Learning Partnership, or ELP, a Netherlands-based consulting firm.
"That relationship, overseen by a now-former employee, is no longer in place," Mr. Langhoff said in an internal email to employees. "Because the agreement could leave the impression that news coverage can be influenced by commercial relationships, as publisher with executive oversight, I believe that my resignation is now the most honorable course," Mr. Langhoff said.
Dow Jones is a unit of News Corp., which owns all editions of The Wall Street Journal.
Of course, this didn't happen by accident, and once again it seems to be the result of crusading investigative journalism by the Guardian:
One of Rupert Murdoch's most senior European executives has resigned following Guardian inquiries about a circulation scam at News Corporation's flagship newspaper, the Wall Street Journal.
The Guardian found evidence that the Journal had been channelling money through European companies in order to secretly buy thousands of copies of its own paper at a knock-down rate, misleading readers and advertisers about the Journal's true circulation.
The bizarre scheme included a formal, written contract in which the Journal persuaded one company to co-operate by agreeing to publish articles that promoted its activities, a move which led some staff to accuse the paper's management of violating journalistic ethics and jeopardising its treasured reputation for editorial quality.
Internal emails and documents suggest the scam was promoted by Andrew Langhoff, the European managing director of the Journal's parent company, Dow Jones and Co, which was bought by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation in July 2007. Langhoff resigned on Tuesday.
RICO: A Pattern of Criminal and Anti Competitive Behaviour
As I pointed out in a previous diary, the anti-competitive and completely unjournalistic standards of Newscorp now constitute a modal monopoly in much of the English speaking world:
Now we know that financially, Newscorp has paid much more than $200 million in the past to settle lawsuits, and indeed has paid out three times as much as that to settle various lawsuits against its profitable marketing division, News America. Apart from the hacking allegations and the FCPA violations (suborning foreign officials) there is now ample evidence, in the US and elsewhere (cf Italyand Australia) that Newscorp has a standard modus operandi when dealing with the 'free market'.
1. Establish leverage over politicians to change anti monopoly legislation
2. Dumping - artificially lowered prices to destroy competitors (cf News America, London Times)
3. Industrial espionage against competitors using a variety of means including phone hacking (Floorgraphics, Daily Mirror etc.)
For those following this story in Newscorp's home country, the US, there is now ample evidence of a sustained pattern of behavior liable to a RICO violation.
So now we have two more elements to add to the Newscorp strategy for media dominance
4. Churnalism: information paid for by sponsors, contributors or PR agencies.
5. Massaging Circulation Figures to deceive advertisers.
As I've said before, Newscorp is the Standard Oil of the Information Age, and exposing its abuse of power is a key part in breaking up this uncompetitive trust.
As American activists continue to occupy Wall Street, don't forget The Wall Street Journal, both as a mouthpiece for deregulated markets and unaccountable globalised finance, and as a living demonstration of how it works.

Jewish Conversion: The Billy Joel Experiment
Part IV: The Grand Audio Finale!
Last week, I wrote about the seemingly impossible task of converting my officemate Liel Leibovitz to the church of Billy Joel. It was a long, arduous, emotional journey of music and acrimony.
Picking some of Joel's lesser-known songs, I hoped in earnest to sway Liel, but after his first dissection of the Joel song 'Rosalinda's Eyes,' which Liel absolutely abhorred, I lowered my expectations and just hoped for proof that Liel had a soul.
After both 'Los Angelenos' and 'Until The Night' failed to warm his heart, we decided to go audio for our final round.
In our talk, I give Liel one last shot, throwing teenage love, the kitchen sink of nostalgia, and Joel's sappiest song at him as we each make our final cases. Check it out below.
Many thanks to Julie Subrin, our executive producer for audio, who did a masterful job of putting this together on the fly, Morton Landowne for surrendering his office space, and Liel Leibovitz for submitting himself to the Billy Joel Experiment.

Don't approach w you're putting them first, it's what is our plan for our family. Have an idea of what you need for baby, your portion of bills, etc.
Also, since he isn't respecting your money, stop giving/sharing w him.
A+M 9/08 = R.K. 9/18/10 and expecting again 4/23/13
Wow...that sounds exactly like my jerk of a bum Uncle. My parents had to take care of 5 kids and my Dad's OLDER brother would always ask for money for his bills and cars, even though he made more money he decided not to pay his bills. Finally my Dad has pulled his head out of his ass and hasn't spoken to him or done anything for him in 3 years. I wouldn't get rid of you Husband yet, but I would try everyday till he got it through his thick skull to tell him that his brother is never going to pay him back and he has you and kids to take care of. His brother's life is NOT his obligation you and the children are.
Why are you letting someone else handle your money? It sounds like there are some problems with priorities in the household, and your fiance needs to grow a backbone and put his foot down when it comes to his family.
Quit giving him the money! Why is he deciding what to do with it?! I second getting an account of your own. If this is what he is doing with money, don't tell him what you have. It may sound sneaky but you are going to need it for baby!
Mommy to Logan (7) Kaitlyn (5) and Lily 4/16/13. Our family is complete :)
I will recommend two books - Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover (you two need to get on the same page before you get married - #1 cause of divorce) & Boundaries (great for family instigated issues)
Don't be so open minded that your brain falls out;)
Platinum ( . Y . )
Maybe after talking to him, if he still just argues it and acts like nothing was ever discussed, you should definitely get your own bank account. Maybe move out for a week to let him know how serious you are. If he doesn't seem to care, perhaps it's time to part ways. If he has a hard time with you being gone, let him know that's what's going to happen if he keeps up this charade. He has to really see that you're serious or nothing will change.

Over the last century, American liberals have often supported a strong executive branch while conservatives have usually fought against giving additional power to the White House.
Even as he turns his eyes to early caucus and primary states like Iowa and Nevada, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., occupies an odd spot in the early stages of the 2016 Republican presidential contest.
Former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., might want to note how his father did in his bids for the Republican presidential nomination in 1980 and 1992 and contrast that with his brother's 2000 campaign as he ponders whether to run in 2016.
Candidates can be moderate and still win elections, but the ones who do it by switching parties and feigning middle-of-the-road principles plain turn voters off.
As the federal shutdown drags on, Democrats and Republicans alike who are thinking about running for the presidency in 2016 would do well to hit the books and study up on the political fallout from the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

The Hamlet City Council has decided to hold off on making a decision to adopt a revised Telecommunications Tower Ordinance.
At the City Council meeting Tuesday, there was a public hearing regarding the proposed changes to the Telecommunications Tower Ordinance. The Planning and Zoning Board submitted the proposed changes, which would allow the city to be in line with other municipalities when it comes to regulations, requirements, the application process, penalties and fees for towers and still protect the safety, health and welfare of residents.
Van Billingsley, owner of the Electronics Service Company in Hamlet, spoke about why it would not be a good idea for the city to adopt some of the proposed changes.
Billingsley said that over the last 38 years he has built many towers and read over many ordinances.
He said that the proposed changes to the ordinance concerned him because the revisions would stifle small businesses.
"Some parts of the ordinance that they are proposing stifles entrepreneurism within the city, and lots of other cities and counties are actually trying to make it easier to conduct communications businesses within their city," Billingsley said.
He agreed that it is good to have an ordinance, but when it goes too far and stifles growth, it is a problem.
"If they clamp down too tightly it will hurt the city instead of help the city," he said. Billingsley also mentioned that other counties are relaxing their ordinances.
Billingsley asked the council to table adoption of the proposed ordinance in order give him a change to bring several materials to the council for review.
The council decided to table the matter for 60 days.
After the meeting, Billingsley told the Daily Journal that Marlboro County actually rewrote its ordinance to help promote high-speed Internet within the county, and Montgomery County did the same thing.
"We don't understand tower communications as well as he does," said Johnathan Buie, a councilman, after the meeting. "In order for us to come to an agreement the city will need to sit down and communicate with him so that we can come to a conclusion.

Carefully remove the control wires attached to the hot and cold solenoids. Remove the inlet filler hose by compressing the hose clamp. Remove the 2 screws holding the valve assembly on to the inlet plate. Attach the new valve assemble, the inlet filler hose and the control wires for the solenoids in the reverse order and finally connect the plate to the back of the washer.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Maria Pappas-Rogich, DrPH, RNCS (SUNY Institute of Technology at Utica-Rome)
Description: This handbook is designed to make the increasingly sophisticated knowledge of pharmacotherapeutics available to the nurse practicing in the fields of home care and hospice. Part I includes a description of the special considerations of administering medications to patients, and Part II provides sections concerning specific drug care guidelines in treating common disease entities. The five appendixes provide information such as nomograms for determining body surface, medication assistance programs, and medication monitoring forms.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide the clinician with an easy reference to the identification and administration principles of drug regimens necessary to a holistic plan of care for the home care and hospice patient. Chapters on home infusion therapy, pain management, AIDS, and special patient populations are especially relevant and unique. The full-color drug identification atlas is particularly helpful to providers in these settings.
Audience: The handbook would be most useful to clinicians practicing in settings where quick, easy access to drug identification and management is essential to providing the highest standard of care.
Features: The content is presented in a text format with section and chapter headings and sub-headings. Several well-organized tables, a full-color drug identification guide, practical appendixes, and the addition of a glossary enhance the presentation and utility of the handbook. The section on guidelines for use of the handbook provides a key to the pictorial codes used throughout the text to indicate special management considerations, and this contributes to readability. Although the introductory chapter references are current and relevant, later chapters are not well referenced, thus making it difficult for the reader to locate or validate the source of the content.
Assessment: This drug handbook for home care and hospice is useful primarily for clinicians practicing in these settings. It provides an overview of drug therapy principles relevant to home care and hospice practice, and specific drug administration guidelines for illnesses commonly managed by home care and hospice nurses. Several unique and relevant features make this handbook a meaningful contribution to the clinician's resources.

No spoilers here, guys. Proceed without caution.
Sound effects are an underappreciated element of most games, really. I hold up my hands here, I'm as guilty as anyone, never taking note unless they're exceptional or exceptionally recognisable stock sounds – my ears are attuned to Half Life's hitting-metal clink and every-game-ever's Wilhelm Scream, to name but a few – which Halo 4 is refreshingly devoid of.
Halo 4 really pulls you into its world in a way few other games do. Stepping out from Forward Unto Dawn – one foot still braced on unforgiving metal, the other pressing down into soft grass – into the bliss landscape of Requiem, triggers one of the game's prettiest tracks. You hear the tones of discovery, of trepidation and amazement, and then the distant humming of Covenant Ghosts zipping away, the slight distortion of weapons firing. All resonating as one, you're there, and it feels just spectacular.
This medley synchronises seamlessly with the rest of the game, particularly the environments, to produce a stunning experience for the player. The scenery in Halo hasn't always been considered too important: metallic halls and grand wastelands bursting with greenery were just backdrops to the Spartans' explosive escapades and, in terms of the love lavished on them, could have been replaced with an evening in Photoshop. But 4 moves beyond that, filling the world with brilliant noise. Even such little touches as rustling trees, the squelching of mulch underfoot, the grazing metal of an unfolding door – all add to the immersion.
Up until now, the series' audio achievements have all been in its soundtrack, and for good reason. The limp pew-pew of a plasma pistol, the hollow rumble of a Mongoose, the flat clunking of a grunt's shell… Halo was never really renowned for its audio craftsmanship. 4 totally changes that, giving the series a viscerality and sense of realism it hasn't seen before. From weapons, to footsteps, to the creak of armour; meticulous, crisp effects have been liberally applied to everything, major and minor both.
In previous titles, telling a Battle Rifle from an Assault Rifle meant listening to the rate of fire or rhythm of the shots, but in 4 the revolutionary step was taken to assign them individual noises! The Assault Rifle has its relentless rumble of churning bullets, a Battle Rifle its soft, rhythmic spray, a Magnum its lively little pop. What were once just indistinct noises are now identifiable features.
Distinction through audio is an important tactical feature which supplements the gameplay, if done right. See Left 4 Dead: knowing whether a Boomer is jamming the corridor ahead, or a lost Smoker is helplessly wandering the rooftops is key. Big Baddies may have their musical cues, but in normal combat situations the Witch's blubbering is a Big Red Sign. And in Halo 4, hearing the enemies inside a structure are firing off shotguns acts as a warning signal, while the punch of a sniper rifle prompts a more cautious flank and the cooling of an energy sword's slash says 'Run, motherfucker.' These sounds may seem like background noise, but they subconsciously influence actions.
Halo 4's soundtrack is getting a ridiculous amount of attention – after all, it is an entirely new composer and the successor to one of the most famed videogame scores ever – and all of it deserved. It is sensational. That does not, however, mean it ought to eclipse the rest of the audio team's stellar work. With a game this good, there's plenty of praise to go around. Though they will never get the attention they deserve, the effort, hard work and care that has so clearly gone into this is worthy of as much recognition as the rockin' tunes.

Since 2009, the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour. Low-wage workers are actually worse off now than they were in 1968, when the minimum wage reached a peak of $8.56 an hour in inflation-adjusted dollars. Yet as sobering as these statistics are, they don't capture the complete story. Workers who don't receive tips are guaranteed $7.25 an hour, yet tipped workers only earn a measly hourly wage of $2.13. Even more staggering, a recent study found that 41 percent of New York City's restaurant workers are food insecure, and tipped workers are 30 percent more likely to struggle to put food on the table than those who earn tips.

Why Grocery Store Workers Are Making Less While Big Chains Clean Up
Have you ever bought groceries from a checker with the sniffles? If so, you're probably not alone. In fact, most food retail employees can't afford to miss work when they're under the weather. Many don't have medical coverage and few can cover lost wages when taking unexpected time off.
Janifer Suber, a clerk at Vons–a Los Angeles-based division of Safeway, Inc. with over 300 stores nationwide–says employees at her store often take matters into their own hands when a co-worker is sick. She recalls one instance when an employee had a stomach virus that had gotten so bad she missed several days of work, but only after co-workers had pooled their money to cover the co-pay for the doctor's visit and the lost paycheck.

Equitable Food Initiative Sets the Stage for Better Working Conditions on Large Farms
Thinking back to barely a year ago, Oscar Vasquez says things have changed on the Oxnard, California farm where he works picking strawberries. For so long, he felt as though he was treated like little more than a cog in the fruit production machine—necessary to his employer, but also very replaceable.
But now, since his farm adopted a new approach to working with its employees, he feels better about going to work each day. Vasquez and his coworkers care more about the quality of the produce they're picking and, he adds through a translator, "A lot of workers are staying for the whole season, which is a sign that they feel good about the farm."

Labor and the Locavore: Farm Work in New York State
Spring has been slow to arrive in New York this year, but warmer temperatures mean the re-invigoration of the city's many farmers' markets. This season, New Yorkers will shop at nearly 150 markets across the five boroughs. Some will surely chat with producers, asking questions about growing practices or ingredients. After reading Margaret Gray's Labor and the Locavore: The Making of a Comprehensive Food Ethic, I wondered: Will any of them ask about the people who grew, harvested, or transported their food?

The Other Fair Trade: Why Equitable Bananas Matter
Americans might be used to buying Fair Trade chocolate and coffee, but bananas are an entirely different story. The Fair Trade banana industry began in Europe nearly two decades ago and while it currently represents 30 percent of the banana market in the United Kingdom and 50 percent of the market in Switzerland, less than one percent of the bananas sold in the U.S. are Fair Trade certified.

Food Chain Workers Take Action on Cesar Chavez Day
Even in this day and age, injustice remains an invisible ingredient in much of the food that we eat.
— Cesar Chavez, co-founder of the United Farm Workers union
March 31st is Cesar Chavez Day. As you probably know, Cesar Chavez was a co-founder and leader of the United Farm Workers union. A farmworker himself, in the 1960s through the 1980s, Chavez organized with workers in the fields in California who struggled for fair wages, safe working conditions, and respect on the job. Chavez also collaborated with Filipino labor leaders like Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz to found the United Farm Workers.
Because of Chavez's legacy of multi-racial organizing for workers' rights, the Food Chain Workers Alliance (FCWA) chose Cesar Chavez Day for a day of action to raise the minimum wage. Read more

EPA (Finally) Proposes Measures to Protect Farmworkers from Pesticide Exposure
When Mario Vargas showed up at the Washington, D.C., offices of representatives from his home state of Ohio in July, he shared stories from farmworkers who are getting sick from pesticides.
