Care and feeding of disk space on Linux
Cleaning House
You wouldn't believe how much of the disk space on your system is wasted, filled with duplicate files, or cruft you don't need.
The sad fact is, no matter how much disk space you have, it starts filling up pretty quickly with unnecessary junk. And necessary junk. A few thousand MP3s, lots of work documents, some movies you've downloaded (legally, of course) or ripped for watching on that lovely new tablet you picked up … . Pretty soon that vast expanse of empty bit-bucket has been given over to monstrous amounts of data. How does that happen?
The fact is, it's not all your fault. A lot of stuff happens behind the scenes. Programs cache data and suck up disk space without your noticing. Logfiles grow and grow. And you contribute too, of course, saving everything because you might just need it "someday."

|Valkryie character model from "Marvel: Avengers Alliance"
In "The Wild Hunt," the new Special Operation Chapter for the hit Facebook game "Marvel: Avengers Alliance," Loki is using Iso-8 to seize the minds and souls of the people of New York. Asgard has sent S.H.I.E.L.D. some backup in the form of one of their greatest warriors: Valkyrie.
Valkyrie, formerly known as the Asgardian Brunnhilde, confronted Odin All-Father rather than leave the body of her fallen friend. So impressed was Odin at her courage and strength that he made her the guide of the honored dead to Valhalla. Armed with Dragonfang, her indestructible sword, and riding her winged steed Aragorn, she is one of the greatest warriors of Asgard, and a champion of Earth.
Players fight beside Valkyrie to defeat Enchantress, Executioner, Loki himself and eventually Destroyer to protect the people of Earth in this latest chapter!
Join the millions of social gamers and Marvel fans who have already joined S.H.I.E.L.D. by playing "Marvel: Avengers Alliance" at http://www.facebook.com/avengersalliance. The game is one of the top-rated games in Facebook's App Center. Fans can also play at "Marvel: Avengers Alliance" at http://www.playdom.com.

After blowing a three goal third period lead against Ottawa on Saturday, the New York Rangers responded with an impressive 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks. Ryan Callahan led the way with two goals as the Rangers played their most complete game of the season.
The New York Rangers played a very good opening period jumping out to a quick 2-0 lead before surrendering a late goal to end the period 2-1.
Brandon Prust created an early buzz when he dropped the gloves with Ryan Clowe just seven seconds into the game.
After failing to convert on an early power play, the Rangers got on the board when Ryan McDonagh scored on a one-timer from the left faceoff circle at 4:46. Dan Girardi played it down low to Callahan who showed patience behind the net before finding McDonagh.
The Rangers got another power play chance which Derek Stepan converted a beautiful feed from Brandon Dubinsky at 14:53. Big for Stepan to get on the board with his first goal of the season.
The Sharks got one back with just 2:10 left as Joe Pavelski found a rebound just laying in front. Dan Girardi had to clear the crease on that play and remove Pavelski from the rebound.
The Sharks tied it up midway through the second after the Rangers were trapped in the zone for nearly two minutes. New York got it out but failed to get the pick deep which didn't allow Eminger and Woywitka to get off the ice. Logan Couture made them pay with a beautiful snipe top shelf.
The Rangers retook the lead when Ryan Callahan scored as time expired on a power play. Callahan's goal was set up by a beautiful cross ice pass from Christensen.
The Rangers extended the lead 2:42 later when Artem Anisimov joined the party with his first goal of the season on a backhander over Niemi.
Callahan pushed the lead to three with a great effort to score, as he, was going to the ice at 19:12.

OK maybe I'm asking too much but, how can I get them perky again. I'm not breast feeding due to a medication I'm taking but I still have a little milk. I miss my size B's that could poke out someone's eyes. I'm currently a saggy DD cup. I still have pregnancy weight but am losing it in a slow heathy manner. Are there any exercises or do I have to save for a breast lift.
The only way I can get my boobs to look good is in a really nice supportive bra with padding from Victoria's Secret. Then again I haven't had size B perky boobs since like 6th grade.

Cindy Buckwalter
Welcome and thank you all for joining us for our third quarter conference call. Today's call will be led by Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two; Ben Feder, our CEO; and Lainie Goldstein, our CFO. Our team will be available to answer your questions during the Q&A session following our prepared remarks.
Before we begin, I would first like to quickly review our Safe Harbor statement by reminding everyone that the statements made during this call that are not historical facts are considered forward-looking statements under Federal Securities Laws.
These forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to us. We have no obligation to update these forward-looking statements. Actual operating results may vary significantly from these forward-looking statements based on a variety of factors, including the risks associated with our process to evaluate strategic alternatives.
These important factors are described in our press release today and our filings with the SEC, including our 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007 and our 10-Qs for the interim quarters of fiscal 2008. These documents may be obtained from our website at www.taketwogames.com.
Now let me turn the call over to Strauss.
Strauss Zelnick
Thanks Cindy, good afternoon everyone, thanks for joining us. Take-Two's third quarter results beat expectations by a wide margin. This clearly demonstrates that our company is in terrific shape and that we're positioned to create even greater stockholder value in the future.
We're performing well in all aspects of our business creatively, operationally and financially. From a product perspective our industry leading creative teams are building an increasingly diverse portfolio of interactive entertainment brands that are massive winners with consumers.
Our strong third quarter performance was driven by a broad range of [inaudible] from our powerhouse Grand Theft Auto to Civilization to newer brands like Carnival Games, as well as our sports titles led by Top Spin 3 and Major League Baseball 2K8.
In an industry where strong contact is a critical determinant of success, we have an increasingly formidable advantage. Operationally our ongoing efforts to drive increased efficiency have gained significant traction over the past 16 months. We have now implemented all of our previously announced cost saving measures and will reap the benefits of these initiatives going forward both in terms of higher productivity and the ability to reinvest the savings to grow our business.
On the financial front our third quarter results continued the trend of dramatic performance improvements that we consistently delivered throughout this fiscal year. Our top line revenue and non-GAAP EPS results once again outperformed our guidance and exceeded even the most optimistic analyst estimates.
Before I turn the call over to Benjamin I'd like to give you a brief update on our strategic review process. As you know Electronic Arts agreed to a presentation by our management team consistent with our process following the expiration of their [inaudible] tender offer. At the same time we're actively continuing our other formal discussions as we previously disclosed.
Our Board and management team have at all times conducted this process and its deliberate focus and reasoned manner with the goal of pursing the task that will create the greatest possible values for our stockholders. We'll continue to do so.
Now Benjamin will discuss the third quarter results in more detail and provide us with additional detail on our creative and operational progress.
Benjamin Feder
Thanks Strauss, our third quarter results were in a word fantastic. This marks the fifth quarter in a row that we've beaten our own guidance as well as consensus expectations. Strauss and I have urged our team to remain focused on the business despite the considerable potential for distraction and their ability to do so is reflected in our strong performance.
Net revenue for the quarter was $434 million, more than double the $206 million we reported in Q 3 last year. Earnings on a non-GAAP basis were $0.93 per share compared with a net loss one year ago and also were sharply higher then consensus.
The quarter's results were driven by better then expected performance of Grand Theft Auto IV which shipped in Q2 and also our newly released titles Top Spin 3, Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution which both shipped in the third quarter.
Our strong performance is reflected in our increased cash position. We had nearly $339 million in cash at the end of the quarter, well over $4.00 per share and paid off the balance owed on our credit line. To be clear, the company is debt free.
I'd like to expand on Strauss' point about our creative performance. Thanks to the efforts of nearly 1,400 development team members worldwide and a disciplined product investment review process, we now have the strongest and most diverse portfolio in Take-Two's history.

Entomologist White estimated the cost of bringing in bedbug-sniffing dogs.
"For a 12 theater metroplex, you could be looking at $2-4,000 or more every time they inspect it," he said. "That's just inspecting. That's not even treating."
The problem has become so pervasive, and so expensive, that at least five states have called on the Department of Defense for money to eradicate these pests. The state of Ohio was so desperate that it asked the Environmental Protection Agency to use a banned chemical to fight the bugs. The EPA said no.
Bedbugs were all but eradicated at the end of World War II — mostly due to the use of cheap, powerful chemicals like DDT. Those chemicals have since been banned because of toxic side effects — allowing bedbugs to make an explosive resurgence. Newer strains are resistant to some pesticides. The tiny bloodsuckers that burrow into mattresses and upholstery can live without feeding for up to a year, and females lay up to five eggs every day.
"There's something creepy about a bug that infests your house it gets in your bed and it comes out to feed on you at night while you're sleeping in your bed, which is your sanctuary," said White.
He and other experts say the best way to protect yourself and your home is to avoid secondhand upholstered furniture, and to know how to inspect your home and hotel rooms.
The areas that bedbugs commonly infest are the bottom of a bed's box springs and the back of the headboard. The best prevention, experts say, is to make sure the bugs never get a chance to hitch a ride into your home. Scientists are working on more effective chemicals and extermination techniques, but there is no "silver bullet."
"The bottom line is that bedbugs are here to stay, White said. "It's not a pretty picture, but that's the bottom line."


text: Another possible starter is Wirfin Obispo. He's been touted as having an outstanding arm, and he performed very well in the Dominican Summer League (couldn't get stateside because of visa problems). I believe he'll be 22 this coming year. My guess is that he'll be in the rotation in Dayton and will move up (a la Cueto) if he overmatches hitters.

Seattle Children's made a promise more than 100 years ago to help children in our community grow up without illness or injury. During the coming year, we will complete a number of projects that help us honor that promise.
These important improvements respond to growth in our community and address urgent needs of the children and families we serve. They continue an expansion process that began with the opening of Building Hope – now known as the Forest zone – in 2013. With ongoing support from generous donors, these latest improvements within the Forest zone and throughout our hospital will enable us to help more children and families when and where they need us most.
Caring for the community is our passion and our privilege. You can help us provide the best care to all children by supporting our efforts to expand and improve care.
Watch how the beautiful, healing environment of Building Hope provides improved patient care and comfort. It helps us keep our promise to the community – providing compassionate, family-centered care to the children who need it most. It's not just concrete and steel, it's hope.
Seattle Children's Building Hope adds 330,000 square feet and 80 new beds to help treat the region's sickest children. On April 21, 2013, care teams moved patients into Building Hope's new cancer and critical care units.

I have an aspx page that I want to have 2 panels where the 1st panel displays on the left side of the page and the 2nd panel displays to the immediate right of the left panel, much like 2 TD's in a table row. How can I do that in CSS that will work in all browsers? Thanks.
Nov 09, 2012 03:39 PM|asteranup|LINK
check this-
Nov 09, 2012 04:10 PM|anil.india|LINK
<asp:Panel ID="pnlLeft" runat="server" style="float: left; width: 50%; display: inline;"> </asp:Panel> <asp:Panel ID="pnlRight" runat="server" style="float: left; display: inline;"> </asp:Panel>
I would suggest you to use div instead of panels.
Nov 09, 2012 04:19 PM|dlchase|LINK
That worked. I needed scrolling also so I added overflow-y:scroll to my style. The scrolling worked but my Visual Studio says that overflow-y is not a valid CSS property...but it works. If I change it to overflow:scroll then it also works but gives me both vertical and horizontal scroll bars. I only need vertical.
Nov 09, 2012 04:20 PM|dlchase|LINK
I did use divs, thanks.
Nov 09, 2012 04:28 PM|anil.india|LINK
Also I would like to share you a thread similar to yours

Dont worry this is a valid css even though visual studio is not recognizing
Hate to correct you, but overflow-y is invalid css, but it works in all major browsers except some versions of opera.
Nov 16, 2012 02:15 AM|asteranup|LINK
MotleyHate to correct you, but overflow-y is invalid css
I dont think so. Please visit w3c standard-
Nov 16, 2012 04:19 AM|Motley|LINK
You mean the w3c working draft of css 3?
It's invalid as css 2.1, and since css 3 is still a working draft, it should still be prefixed by vendor prefixes until it is finalized. Unfortunately, most browsers have skipped that step and I don't believe they will actually accept the browser prefixes, but let me quote the second through fourth sentence of the fourth paragraph of the working draft for you:
Publication as a Working Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership.
This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time.
It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.
In fact, the css box model module of css 3 is one of the parts that is furthest away from becoming a standard. What I said was correct, it is invalid css, but most browsers currently understand it, but not all. To say it is valid css would indicate that at least that module has been ratified, which it has not. It's still has to go through at least one more major rewrite, then put up for comments, last call made on it, then to becomes a candidate recommendation, then it's voted on, then it becomes a recommendation and presented to the W3C which may or may not accept it at that point without further changes.

Nov 16, 2012 06:15 AM|Motley|LINK
Well, I would either float left a couple divs, or make them inline-block depending on the flow of the rest of the elements.
Note that in your solution, you had float: left; display: inline on your panels, which is invalid. You can't float inline elements.
As for the scrolling, I would use overflow-y: auto; but as I said, it's not valid css, but it works in most browsers, and quite simply, there isn't any other way of achieving that effect. Technically, it's not guaranteed to be achievable with the current standards. You COULD put an inner div and force it's width so that it will never overflow horizontally the outer div, but most (all that I know of) browsers will display both scroll bars anyway. The css 2.1 spec specifies that it is up to the UA to decide how the scrolling works/displays, and they will show both scroll bars if you use overflow: auto and only the vertical scrollbar is needed as far as I know.
That said, I believe your question was how would I do it. There is nothing wrong with doing it the way everyone has described it. Saying that overflow-y is valid css is wrong even though it works. The difference being that if the w3c decides that overflow-y isn't correct, and change the specification to have overflow accept the values of "auto","none","scroll","x-only", and "y-only" and then all the browsers change and all of a sudden your css no longer works, it's not the browsers nor the w3c to blame. You used something that wasn't in the specification, and the specification changed, and the browsers updated to reflect that change. Now I doubt that will happen because overflow-y has become so prevalent in code in the wild, but the fact remains that it is not valid css by any current standard.
If you wanted to be absolutely safe about it, you should put overflow:auto; overflow-y: auto; overflow-x: hidden; that way in such an occurrance that overflow-y is ever removed, you get both scrollbars from the overflow:auto, and overflow-y and overflow-x would be ignored. It may break your layout, but I suspect having both scrollbars would be better than having none in that case.
Nov 16, 2012 06:37 AM|Motley|LINK
Sorry, let me make one more clarification to what I said.
You could put an inner div inside the outer div. The outer div having overflow:auto. If however, you set both the inner div and outer div to the same width as most people would instinctively do, as soon as the outer div needs to create the vertical scroll bar because your content has overflowed it vertically, the scroll bar (in most/all browsers) would reduce the usable inner width of the outer div such that now you also need to scroll horizontally and it will then create a horizontal scroll bar as well.
In most cases, using overflow-y is such a simple solution that it's typically worth the risk of the it causing significant issues in the future compared to the convoluted "100% correct and valid" solutions that you'd need to do to achieve the same thing.
Heh, sorry, one more clarification. When I said you can't float inline elements, that is not technically correct either. You can, but it shouldn't have the effect that most people would expect. The browser is SUPPOSED to ignore the float request on inline elements. Whether they do or not (or which browsers do), I'm not sure, as I don't do it.

Hi Motley,
MotleyI would use overflow-y: auto; but as I said, it's not valid css
This isn't essentially true. It's most definitely a valid CSS property but it's available in CSS3. Also, Visual Studio 2012 intellisense support overflow-y style. I don't think MS would include non-valid CSS properties for intellisense.
So it's correct to say overflow-y isn't a valid property for CSS 2.1 but is a valid property for CSS3.
Since CSS3 supports by almost all the new browsers, I don't think the OP has to worry much about that.
Nov 16, 2012 05:20 PM|dlchase|LINK
Thanks everyone. So far my testing with overflow-y: scroll is working fine. Since it is an intranet the user can control updating browsers.

European sustainable energy week encourages individuals, businesses and government to come up with ways of saving energy.
Currently around 10% of the energy used in the EU comes from renewable sources like solar power, wind turbines, hydroelectric plants and biomass. Every year since 2005, European sustainable energy week has been promoting the development of renewable energy - with the message that we can all do our bit to reduce the amount of energy we consume.
From 11 to 15 April, some 600 events will be taking place, involving around 30 000 people from 43 European countries. This year the focus is on energy efficiency and renewable energy.
For example, in the Swedish town of Örebro, the winners of a county-wide quiz will receive low-energy products as prizes.
In Albacete (Spain), a local agency will teach people how they can use up to 15% less fuel by adjusting their driving style.
The role of businesses and business leaders in creating a more eco-friendly economy will the discussed at an informal get-together in Paris.
In Brussels, conferences and exhibitions will bring together politicians, industrialists and scientists for the biggest ever European forum on sustainable energy. Topics for discussion will include making buildings more energy efficient and the greening of European industry.
And European sustainable energy awards will be presented to the most ambitious and innovative projects from around Europe. Last year, one of the awards went to a project in Budapest that helped schools to cut their energy consumption by as much as 40%.
All of this will help the EU to hit the targets it set itself for 2020: a 20% reduction in greenhouse-gas emissions, 20% of energy needs to be met from renewable sources, and a 20% cut in energy consumption.

1 (16 ounce) package
frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 cup
chocolate syrup
1 cup
sliced almonds
Very good and easy. Tasted just like mom used to make,so it was not only delicious but brought back some good memories. I used sugar-free pudding to cut down on some of the sugar but it was still great! Another one that's a definate keeper!
This was good. I switched out the chocolate syrup for chocolate hot fudge, which I think was much yummier. I would have used more actually, because there was so much cream to chocolate ratio.

I just had this last night....and I must say it was tres delish! I WILL say to use butter rather than margerine tho...and we skipped the chocolate and nuts. French Vanilla pudding is yummier than plain too! You can use sugar free and it's still awesome! Altogether a very nice little dessert that's versatile and not too sweet.
I made this using sugar free pistachio pudding and sprinkled the top with pecans before serving. I loved the whole thing, but no one else in the house liked the cream puff crust and only ate the filling. Regardless of what the others thought, I'm still going to give this 5 stars.
My husband loved this cake. He couldn't stop eating it and I've got to admit it was fabulous. It is a definite keeper.
So good and yummy, everyone loved it. Vanilla or Chocolate pudding is great. The cook and serve pudding tastes a little better and fresh made whipped cream adds an added richness to it. Very good recipe and easy to make.
Just made this today on my new gas range (wanted to try out the oven). I've only got one thing to say...WOW!!! This recipe was not only easy but delicious. I didn't use chocolate syrup simply because neither I or hubby like it. Sliced some strawberries and put them on top. I did have to increase the baking time for the cream puff to 35 mins. and it turned out a beautiful golden brown. It's a "keeper recipe" and I thank you for sharing it Zipity.
I had a written version of this that I could hardly read ... was so glad to find it online. IT IS AWESOME and 10 people finished it off last nite!! Really does taste like a BIG cream puff which my kids remember from when they were young.

The pharmaceutical sales and marketing landscape is undergoing dramatic change. Expiring drug patents and weakening product pipelines have placed increasing pressure on sales and marketing teams to drive revenue growth, while tightening regulation and shifting operational models surrounding healthcare delivery add additional challenges. Primary care - driven sales are now evolving toward an increasing mix of specialty sales, and sales operations are moving away from frequency-based sales interactions to more strategy-based sales models. To support life science companies in this changing dynamic, Oracle has developed a wide range of solutions that enable life science companies to remain agile and best capitalize on new market opportunities as they arise.

Fulton High School senior Josh Hinchie knows exactly how he is going to pay for college, but it's not just because he's an economics whiz. Hinchie was one of just 28 Missouri high school students to be selected as recipients of a National Merit Scholarship this year, ultimately earning him a full ride to Tulsa University.
Hinchie entered into the scholarship competitions by taking the Preliminary SAT his junior year. The 50,000 highest-scoring testers in the nation will qualify for recognition. Two-thirds of those students earned commended status and receive a letter of commendation, while the remaining 16,000 students went on to be semifinalists.
Students such as Hinchie, who met "high academic standards and all other requirements," will make it to the Finalist stage, and from that group, winners were finally selected "based on their abilities, skills, and accomplishments," according to the group's website, nationalmerit.org.
"It's a really good feeling," said Hinchie. "One year ago I didn't know what was going to happen, how I was going to pay for it. With a full ride I don't have to worry about finances at all, it was a huge weight off of me."

By Paul McCreath: These past few years we have not seen very many good heavyweight fights. Most often we are offered a name fighter against a no hope club fighter with the expected results, a one sided slaughter. Even so-called world title fights have left something to be desired. Since the Klitschko brothers gained their titles we have seen one mismatch after another. Most fights have been so one sided that many fans found them dull to watch. The Haye-Valuev bout was a dud and so was the Holyfield-Valuev match before that. Give David Haye credit. His recent win over John Ruiz was not bad.
Now we have American favorite Chris Arreola meeting the Polish former cruiser and lightheavyweight belt holder Tomasz Adamek in Ontario California on Saturday April 24. This is not a world title bout nor even an eliminator for one of the alphabet titles. It is just a bout between two good and evenly matched heavyweights that promises a lot more action than we normally see. The winner will likely get a title shot sooner or later. Picking a winner here is going to be really tough. The early betting odds have Adamek a slight favorite but as we know those odds are influenced by the amount of action coming in on each fighter.. Arreola fans are sure their man will win by an easy KO while Adamek supporters are equally convinced that Tomasz will outpoint Chris or even KO him. Very few people expect to see Chris win by outboxing Adamek. The ESB ratings have Arreola at # 9 and Adamek at #10. It couldn't get much closer.

BOISE -- Former Canyon County Prosecutor John Bujak has pleaded guilty to contempt of court but will also have his final felony charge dismissed.
Bujak resigned from the prosecutor's post in 2010 after county officials said he failed to reimburse them for resources used in meeting the Nampa prosecution contract. He was charged with misuse of public funds and found not guilty, but later was charged with creating false evidence to help his defense in the earlier case. The false evidence case ended in a mistrial, and prosecutors ultimately dropped that charge to pursue a contempt of court claim against Bujak.
The Idaho Press-Tribune reports Bujak entered the guilty plea Thursday, apologizing to prosecutors and 3rd District Judge Molly Huskey for his actions.
Bujak told KTVB Thursday, I just want to move forward in a positive direction once I get my license back and again serve the community in a positive way rather than continuing to create some kind of a spectacle in Canyon County over something that happened three and four years ago.
Huskey ordered him to pay for some jury and transportation costs and attorneys' fees.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) recently announced a "landmark" consent decree with the Law School Admission Council (LSAC) to resolve allegations of "widespread and systemic" violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The allegations arose in a discrimination lawsuit filed by individuals with disabilities who sought testing accommodations for the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). LSAC will pay more than $7 million in penalties and damages to thousands of individuals who applied for such accommodations on or after January 1, 2009, and a nationwide compensation fund will be established. In light of this development, higher education institutions may wish to reexamine their accommodations evaluation processes and ADA practices.
Under the consent decree, LSAC has agreed to end the practice of flagging the LSAT scores of individuals who receive the accommodation of extended testing time, which disclosed to law schools that students had received the accommodation. It also will lower the threshold for receiving accommodations by automatically granting accommodations for the LSAT that individuals can show they previously received on other standardized tests, such as the SAT or ACT.
The government intervened in a case under Title III of the ADA, DFEH v. LSAC Inc., which was brought on behalf of test takers in California who requested testing accommodations. The suit challenged LSAC's practices regarding denial of testing accommodation requests, as well as the practice of flagging LSAT scores of individuals who received extended testing time. Yesterday, the DOJ filed a joint motion to enter the proposed consent decree, which must be approved by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The consent decree also requires the LSAC to review its practices for reviewing and evaluating requests for accommodations, in consultation with a panel of experts.

Ever wanted to walk down the street and blast aliens? Well, that may not be possible outside the gaming context, but Parisian artist Space Invader is at least creating real targets. His site catalogues five years of 'invader' tagging, where he plants colorful mosaics of the original arcade aliens all over buildings, curbs, sidewalks, security cameras, and rooftops of major metropolitan areas. His documentation is extensive, ranging from detailed 'invasion' maps of Paris, Tokyo, and Perth, to shaky video of him hacking the Hollywood sign. This is more than merely a portfolio site, though. Invader's e-store lets visitors purchase their own DIY 'Invasion Kits' to spread the arcade mayhem in their own town. Bleep! Bleep! The Martians are coming! -Jonah Brucker-Cohen

March to the Oscars with latest wins in seven categories
LONDON: Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle's plucky take on Mumbai's slum-children, on Sunday glided over the last hump on its unstoppable march to the Oscars after it swept the British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, or Baftas. Here it won seven major awards including for best film, best direction and A.R. Rahman's music. The Baftas are regarded as a dress-rehearsal for the big Hollywood event.
"Unbelievable again!" quipped Rahman, who won a Golden Globe for his score barely a few weeks ago.
The film, which was nominated in 11 categories, also won the Baftas for best adapted screenplay, cinematography, editing and sound. This brought its tally of international awards to nearly 50.
The only other Indian, apart from Rahman, to receive a Bafta was Resul Pookutty for sound along with Glenn Freemantle, Richard Pryke, Tom Sayers, Ian Tapp.
However, neither Dev Patel, the teenage "hero" of the film who was nominated for best actor, nor Freida Pinto, the "heroine" tipped for best supporting actress, made it. Both had their moments, though, when they were called to the stage to present the award for best costume.
Earlier, young Patel joked about having been nominated at all saying he was surprised. "I can't believe it. Please someone slap me," he said.
Born and brought up in Britain, he seemed happy to be simply back on his "home turf" and appeared to revel in being at the centre of so much attention.
The most important event in Britain's movie calendar was so dominated by Slumdog Millionaire that some of Hollywood's biggest offerings were almost reduced to the also-ran category.
Critics reckoned the film won an award every 20 minutes, and punters reportedly lost some £I million, having put money on SDM's rivals.
One of the biggest surprises of the evening was SDM beating its strong Hollywood contender, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starring Brad Pitt. For films like The Reader, Revolutionary Road and Doubt losing to SDM appeared unfair to some, who attributed its success to "media hype."
Boyle called it a triumph for the spirit of the people of Mumbai. He regretted that some people in India had objected to the term "slumdog." He added: "I'm disappointed. It was meant in an aspirational way."

For what they not seeing is police expect Rico
from Nas – Drunk By Myself Lyrics on Genius
Rico act his one of the most sweeping criminal law ever. It has been custom-made for the organized crime to gain convictions and imprisoning mafiosi. The enactment of Rico back in 1970 made prosecutor's jobs easier which helped to allay people's fears and concerns about then raising crime rates.
The statute allows government to freeze defendant's asset at the time of indictment and major exceptions to general due process of law principles such as innocence presumption. Conviction doesn't requires to meet the common standard of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Once convicted, defendant faces onerous criminal penalties (there is a 20-years minimum). For the record, civil portion of the statute allows victims to file a civil suit and recover up to three times the damages they suffered.
Over the years, the statute has metastasized from its original intent as the list of crimes under RICO extended.
That list goes from murder to extortion or bribery.
Nas states that policemen and prosecutors crave for individual who engage into RICO offenses cause it will most likely result in wins on court. Engaging certain actions such as robbery and extortion, associated individuals such as "stick up kids" mentioned in Nas's tale throw themselves in the belly of the beast for good.

DALLAS Angela Spivey, a teacher by trade, spends much of her days in front of a computer searching for work. She's hoping she's still employable.
Spivey taught at the Dallas Independent School District for 15 years, the past four at Roosevelt High School. While there, she worked with special needs children. But one year ago, during a routine diaper change of one of her students, Spivey says the student on the changing table beside her went into a seizure while she was reaching for a diaper.
Before she could gain control, the student fell to the floor and hit her head.
'It was an accident, an honest accident, something that I could not control,' she said. 'I had no idea. You don't know when a seizure is going to come.
District officials didn't see it that way. While there were no other witnesses and no one to dispute her claim, Spivey was suspended. She was fired a few weeks later from the job that she says she loved.
'I interact with them, play with them, talk to them, make them laugh,' said Spivey. 'A person, even though they are disabled, they can feel the vibe.'
Her only hope to save her job and possibly her career was the internal grievance process and a stack of support letters from co-workers, bosses, parents and friends, singing Spivey's praises.
School bus driver Eugene O'Neil spoke on 'behalf of Ms. Spivey's positive and caring attitude toward the students.' Roosevelt science teacher Chamara Fields calls Spivey 'caring, loving and sincere.'
Special Education Department Chair Rosalyn Canada wrote, 'Spivey took extra care of this particular student and did extra duties per her mother's request such as wash and change her clothes.'
And of the actual incident, school nurse Mattie Ochulo said, 'I believe this was an accident. Ms. Spivey should not be held responsible.'
They are just a sampling of the comments that Spivey felt would help save her job during her appeal. But those letters of support were never given consideration by the panel of school board trustees deciding her fate.
They were not admitted into record during her Level II Grievance hearing because Spivey failed to have them notarized. She says she was given an extra day to get them notarized but missed that deadline by just 15 minutes.
In May, during a second hearing in front of the three-member panel of district trustees, an attorney for DISD fought to make sure the support letters were not introduced.
During that hearing, the attorney objected to Spivey trying to introduce testimony not previously accepted in the grievance process and argued that she should be fired because she allowed another child to be injured at another school in 2008.
'Two special needs kids have been injured under Ms. Spivey's watch,' said DISD attorney Lisa Ray. 'Can we really take a chance on another one? I think not.'
Spivey says she was ultimately cleared in the 2008 incident and returned to the classroom with back pay the next year. In last year's case, Child Protective Services investigators reviewed the facts and 'ruled out' medical neglect' and were 'unable to determine' if Spivey put the student in danger.
Texas Education Agency officials also reviewed her case, issued her a reprimand over the accident but did not revoke her certification. In her final and decisive hearing last May, Spivey pleaded her case one last time.
'People who worked with me over the years can vouch for my credibility,' said Spivey.
But none of that favorable testimony was requested. And while Spivey was never accused of a policy violation, the three-member panel voted unanimously to uphold her termination. She was fired from a job few others may have never fought to keep, a job she will continue to fight to do again.
'I still try to figure out why,' said Spivey. 'Why me?'

It was supposed to be a presentation starring Hollywood film director Michael Bay promoting Samsung's line of curved television sets. But the appearance turned awkward after a teleprompter snafu resulted in Bay abruptly leaving the stage.
The cameo at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas happened during Samsung's press briefing. Bay popped on stage to break down Samsung's curved Ultra HD TVs.
During a live Q&A with a Samsung executive, Bay begins to answer a question before growing flustered. "The type fell off. Sorry. I'll just wing this," Bay says. After the exec asks Bay how the curved screens will impact viewers watching his movies, Bay excuses himself.
According to a blog post filed after the event, Bay said he cut the appearance short after losing his place on the prompter. "I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP's intro line and then the teleprompter got lost," writes Bay. "Then the prompter went up and down - then I walked off. I guess live shows aren't my thing."

Good morning all Extremely sleepy today! At least I have tomorrow off. Sotd is Samsara. Defenitely necessary with a warm scent in this weather. All this snow!:O
After a morning trip to the mall for breakfast, I couldn't help but be enticed to the Dior counter to sample some of their fragrances.
Although I used scent strips, the scents are strong enough such that, for today, I am unintentionally layering
I don't own any of these, but hey, it's free scent for a day! (It's like being in a haze of watermelony florals, with a hint of spiciness...a very striking & unusual effect!)

Good morning. It's an early start for me.
I didn't post yesterday on Spirit Day, so I've changed my avatar today to reflect my support for this on BN
Today's scent is
Laura Biagiotti
There is an urban myth that everyone was wearing this is the '90s. I wasn't, and nor was anyone else in my vicinity. I had never heard of it till about 3 years ago. It has no associations for me other than being a wonderful fragrance in a unique bottle. It is all the better for that.

The perfume is perfect for woman who is secretive and mysterious, woman who possesses charm and magnetically attractive charisma. It was created to seduce and tingle your imagination.
Its top notes offer peach juice with freesia. Heart is wrapped with a veil of mystic with black rose, night jasmine, orange and date fruit. Base introduces sandalwood, patchouli, orchid, ambergris, vanilla and Tonka beans.

'Morning, all. Yesterday's scent was Jolie Madame, and today's scent will be Jolie Madame again. Still under the spell of this evil cold that turned into a sinus infection, all of which of course makes me less likely to want to put scent on. Uggh. I hope the rest of you are feeling well, or at least getting well. Take care, all.
Woke up to see the first snow in the mountains, luckily only rain down in the valley where I live. Wearing China Rain because it is the perfect rainy weather scent.

Sycomore by Chanel
Wearing black pants, black shoes and a black Polo shirt - this scent seemed appropriate.
I'm test-wearing Bond Washington Square today.
Top Notes: Italian bergamot, Geranium, Tarragon.
Middle Notes: Purple rose, Honey.
Base Notes: Vintage amber, Leather accord, Vetiver, Musk.
So far, this is a very rose prominent scent, a little green at first. An hour or so later, I have started to smell a slight honey note.
Hello, beautiful people. How disappointing to read yesterday that about one in five here seems to have had to deal with credit card fraud.
Today, I hope your emotional and anatomical hearts are as fine as domperrier's when the mail arrived with two bottles of Mitsouko.

Hello everyone! I'm still in a violet mood. SotD is Keiko Mecheri's Genie des Bois, a spicy-sweet woody violet that works better for me than SL Bois de Violette or SSS Wood Violet. As many of you have said before me, violet is tricky!
Wearing my daughter's Incanto Dream by Ferragamo, similar to Sexy Graffiti. Horrible weather today, nothing else will do.
I love Genie des Bois! Violet is very tricky and good ones are hard to find! I also like Paris, Violette Precieuse (has this been reformulated or just repackaged with the price jacked way up?!) and Aimez Moi.
Grabbed Parure walking out the door.
Hubby and I will be headed to Eureka Springs in the morning for a 3 day weekend. I'm soooo ready for Ozark fall scenery and huckleberry pie!!
Lovely and restful weekend to everyone

Hello cello - thank you! But good heavens, this is just for fun - I haven't been en pointe in twenty years! (Toe shoes are pretty hard and rigid anyway, which certainly helps if you're going to be on your toes.) But yesterday was ballet and today was Dance Fitness, a fusion of modern dance, jazz and Pilates with some resistance and stretching....I think of it as yogaerobics!
I'm heading off to the Farmer's Market now in Balenciaga's Quadrille. Enjoy your afternoon everyone!

Greetings from seaside CA. Today at 10:21 am my workplace participated in the Great California Shakeout where one pretends there's an earthquake and sees if one still has the required agility to get under one's desk and hang on while you speculate what falling debris might conk one in the noggin. Then the event coordinator announces that once the earthquake is over, the possibility of Tsunami is great- watch out for that. We are also in the direct floodpath from a damn, which might break after the earthquake. Either way, that water is cold, baby! If I am silly enough to be working during this projected series of unfortunate events, at least I will smell fabulous.

An underwater search training exercise turned up an unexpected find -- stolen vehicles.
Divers with the Illinois Department of Conservation, Team Watters Sonar Search and Recovery from Moro and the O'Fallon Underwater Search and Rescue Team located the vehicles Tuesday afternoon at Frank Holten State Park.
Some of the vehicles had been stolen years ago, authorities said.
Gary Brewer, director of the Metro-East Auto Theft Task Force was notified by the divers about the discovery.
"We went to the lake and task force agents examined and attempted to identify who the owners were after three vehicles were pulled out of the water," Brewer said. "Two of them were immediately identified as stolen."
One vehicle, a 1993 Plymouth Voyager van, was stolen in 2005 from rural St. Clair County.
Brewer called the owner of the vehicle.
"He was surprised that it had been found after so many years. His son had been using it and had parked it in Swansea when it was stolen," Brewer said.
The second vehicle, a 1972 Plymouth four-door sedan, was stolen in 1983 from East St. Louis.
Brewer said this one was a little more difficult to identify.
"We haven't gotten the report from East St. Louis on this one yet. And, with it being so old, we're going to have to do some research," Brewer said.
The third vehicle, a copper-colored 1985 Chevrolet Caprice two door, also was recovered.
"It's pretty deteriorated," he said.
Anyone who believes they may be the owner of the last two cars is asked to call special agent Michael Conrad with the Metro-East Auto Theft Task Force at 397-3987.

Chilsen Wins Onalaska Mayor's Race
Onalaska voters choose Chilsen as mayor...
Joe Chilsen has outpolled opponent Samantha Carter by about a 3-to-1 margin in Tuesday's vote to pick a successor to retiring Mayor Mike Giese. Chilsen already serves in Onalaska city government on the police and fire commission. Carter works in law enforcement for La Crosse County, and recently moved to Onalaska. It's the first time in decades that a new mayor for Onalaska has not moved up directly from a seat on the city council.
La Crosse Voting No To Administrator
By a 3-to-2 margin, voters in La Crosse are rejecting the idea of a city administrator.
With seven thousand votes counted, more than four thousand people had voted 'no' on the binding referendum. Opponents of the plan have argued that hiring an administrator would increase the size of city government and take away powers from the mayor.

Ledvina said the bids for the projects have all came in under projections. The board, which can approve 2 out of the 3 options, will vote on their final plans at their next meeting in 2 weeks. The monies come from the operational budget and not from a referendum passed a few years ago.

Sign Committee Looking for More Time
It won't be long before the city of La Crosse has new rules governing billboards in place. But not soon enough to avoid running past the expiration of a 12 month moratorium on electronic signs within the city. City councilman Bob Seaquist wants the moratorium extended so his billboard committee can complete work on new rules for the signs. Not a long extension, he says
The city put a sign moratorium in place last summer after backlash from a big electronic billboard that went up right at the entrance to La Crosse on town of Medary land.
