MUNICH John Demjanjuk was brought by ambulance to a Munich court on Monday to face charges of being an accessory to the murder of 27,900 Jews at a Nazi death camp, opening the final chapter of some 30 years of efforts to prosecute the retired Ohio autoworker.
The trial of the 89-year-old opened with Demjanjuk's attorney filing a motion against the judge and prosecutors, accusing them of bias.
Lawyer Ulrich Busch charged that the case should never have been brought to trial. He cited cases in which Germans who were assigned to the Sobibor camp in occupied Poland, where prosecutors allege Demjanjuk served as a guard, were acquitted.
"How can you say that those who gave the orders were innocent ... and the one who received the orders is guilty?" Busch told the court. "There is a moral and legal double standard being applied today."
Demjanjuk was deported in May from the United States to Germany, and has been in custody since then. He could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted.
A doctor who examined Demjanjuk two hours before he was wheeled into the courtroom, covered in a light blue blanket and wearing a baseball cap, said his vital signs were all stable.
Demjanjuk's family says he is terminally ill. His trial has been limited to two 90-minute sessions per day.
Demjanjuk refused to answer the judge's questions about his personal details. He repeatedly opened his mouth, apparently wincing in pain.
Efraim Zuroff, the top Nazi-hunter at the Simon Wiesenthal Center, said on his way into the trial that it was important it was finally taking place.
"This sends a very powerful message that even if you didn't have the rank of an officer, you still have responsibility," Zuroff said.
Demjanjuk became a household name in the 1980s when he was extradited by the United States for trial in Israel on charges that he was the notoriously brutal guard at Treblinka who earned the moniker "Ivan the Terrible" for his deeds.
He was convicted in 1988 of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and spent seven years in prison until Israel's Supreme Court in 1993 overturned the conviction. It ruled that another person, not Demjanjuk, was actually "Ivan the Terrible."
Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk, a former Soviet Red Army soldier, is now accused of volunteering to serve as a guard under the SS after being taken prisoner by the Nazis in 1942.
According to the indictment, he served as a simple "wachmann," or guard, under the SS. As such, he is the lowest-ranking person to go on trial for Nazi war crimes.
The prosecution argues that, even with no living witnesses who can implicate Demjanjuk in specific acts of brutality or murder, just being a guard at a death camp means he was involved in the Nazis' machinery of destruction.
Before that, however, the prosecution must prove that Demjanjuk, who is being tried in Munich because he lived in the area briefly after the war, really did serve at the camp.

When was the last time you did something kind for someone else?
This week we look at asset number 26, the asset of caring. This asset is achieved when young people place a high value on helping others.
Back in the day, I worked at a radio station in Idaho. One holiday season some young people called the station and asked if I would call a certain phone number and tell them to look on the porch. Presumably, there was a surprise waiting for the person on the other end of the phone line.
The Valentine Senior Prom on Feb. 11 was a night to remember for residents of Sombrillo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and their guests.

Djokovic shines under lights to reach Indian Wells quarter-finals
INDIAN WELLS, California—World No. 1 Novak Djokovic stayed up late to book a quarter-final berth at the Indian Wells Masters early Thursday, polishing off American Sam Querrey in straight sets around 2:00 am.
The Serbian star beat Querrey 6-0, 7-6 (8/6) in a match that didn't get on court until after midnight thanks to some lengthy matches in the Wednesday day session.
In the quarter-finals he'll face French eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, a 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 winner over Canadian Milos Raonic.

I've got some from last September Julie if that's any use
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Zabbix FTW
Zabbix definitely. Liked it so much that I started a service doing hosted zabbix now: http://tribily.com
Started that mainly because I got sick and tired of setting up zabbix over and over again with new clients and new projects every time :)
I use Nagios...
... witch Centreon of course!
My favorite is nagios based
My favorite is nagios based opsview.
i love zabbix
with zabbix you can monitor everything
I use zabbix and Orabbix to monitor Oracle
more info here: http://www.smartmarmot.com
I choose zabbix
But frankly I think nagios is more powerful and easy to maintain(with the help of Makefile), zabbix is powerful but it still a little messing. So, I'm tryting to build an enhanced zabbix release, details is available here - http://www.admon.org/
Linux monitoring tool
I think that ZAbbix is now the most compresive tool
Zabbix is The Best - Zabbix has it all !
Zabbix is easy to use, implement, and customize. Operation is intuitive! Almost all functionality is included for both server and network monitoring. If something is missing for your environment, you can easily add new function or customize.
Zabbix will be a next generation OSS monitoring tool.
Zabbix has it all!
Zabbix is the Best
For us here Zabbix is the most professional application for network monitoring. Works great!!!

Zabbix - works out of the "box"
Nagios is great, very solid but the architecture is aging.
Zabbix is the next generation. It has all the basics, monitoring, graphing, alerts, right out of the box. All configured from a decent, though a little obscure, web interface and stored in the sql database of your choice.
If you haven't looked at Zabbix 1.8, you should.
Zabbix is our monitoring systems for next 10 years
Big Brother -> Hobbit -> Xymon was our monitoring system of choice for almost 15 years, but it wasn't developing/updating as fast as we wanted.
Evaluated hyperic, nagios, etc -- lots of great benefits but just couldn't get them to be as easily extendable, manageable, reliable, and usable as we needed.
Transitioned to Zabbix a year ago and are confident that it will serve us well as our base of monitoring infrastructure for the next 10-15 years. Thank you Zabbix devs.
Used to get Nagios but
Used to get Nagios but switched to Zabbix
Open source is a very good
Open source is a very good alternative in this downturn period
OpsView - based on Nagios with extended options
we prefer zabbix
Nagios with check_mk (from Mathias Kettner)
If you haven't explored this, you should.
How about ./mon
easy customizable with perl, small footprint
Because of the complexity of Nagios, I started my own monitoring system: Oculus (http://blog.friesoft.nl/software/oculus/). In version 0.12 now, should be production ready somewhere this year.
Until then, I actually don't monitor. As long as everything is working, there is no problem ;-).
I'm surprised that
I'm surprised that Xymon/Hobbit isn't in the list of choices, it's definitely my first choice.
Ham Radio
Some time ago you published an article regarding "Ham Radio". I would like to get a copy of it. Do you have a fie about it or a hard copy of it.
Fred H.
Favorite monitoring app
i used to use cacti + groundwork/nagios,the best combination :D
favourite monitoring tool
I tried Nagios and found it very complicated.
To have graphics you have to add centreon.
I dont understand why Nagios is so popular.
Now i'm using Xymon/Devmon/BBwin, it's much easier to manage.
Zabbix - solid monitoring tool
Our company started using zabbix for last 1 year and its doing pretty awesome job..Moreover we are installing new Mikoomi monitoring appliance ,its virtual appliance based on Zabbix.
Favorite monitoring tool
We use Zabbix. It is flexible and suitable for medium and large environments. It is not very easy but if you want to build a custom build network monitoring system it must be flexible and scalable. Zabbix is.
Newest version of Zabbix
The recently released Zabbix version 1.8.2 is simply awesome.
LogicMonitor Saves You Time
Nagios is great when you have time to set it up and maintain it. If you don't, take a look at an automated monitoring tool called LogicMonitor. Monitors everything for you by default - no configuration required. Not free, but neither is your time. Check out http://www.logicmonitor.com for more information and a free trial.
Zabbix + Munin
For most part we use Zabbix and Munin
and we still have MRTG.
OpenNMS is the BOMB
You can't beat it for ease of configuration. I've tried them all and OpenNMS makes my life very simple. Very flexible configuration system.
N is for Nagios, that's good enough for me
We started using Nagios several years ago and I have learned how to write custom
scripts to detect SAMBA login failures and shell login failures. It is great. The security
model is simple and near impossible to hack.
See my notes
Interested in Hyperic
We were interested in Hyperic, but it's high pricing profile can't make us afford it..:(
Pandora Flexible Monitoring system
I chose to use this to monitor live servers and office systems back in 2005, I really liked the simple install, easy to write addon agents and remote collectors, the usefull graphics helped immensely to diagnose performance of jav virtual machines, memory, cpu and request rates.
We even had it send alerts via sms to operations when certain limits, events were triggered.
Can't understand why it never gets featured.
Monitorix http://www.monitori
Combination of Cacti+SmokePing+Munin+Monit+nTOP+OSSIM
Used for different things on networks e.g. Cacti for raw Bandwidth usage, Smokeping for WAN connectivity and alerting, Munin for host info and Monit for alerting host info, nTOP for local LAN data and OSSIM for IDS in a DMZ network.
Munin + Monit + netstat.php
I was looking for something simple. After some research I've chosen Munin which in fact is a graphing tool but already does some nice monitoring, too.
Monit I use where protocols and finer grading of alerts is needed.
netstat.php I wrote myself to have a simple "interface" (with red and green lights:) for my users + clients (something which I found even many of bigger solutions are lacking).
Nagios + Cacti
Nagios + Cacti
Mon has monitored my network for 13 years now, I think.
More a 'framework for scheduling monitoring activities and alerts'. A few lines of a script (usually perl) to return a 'this is working/failed' status, a script to generate alerts (via whatever mechanism you have... email, sms gateway, for a long while I had it dialing a numeric pager via modem), etc.
Simple and reliable, it's one of those packages that Just Works.
I use Zabbix
Zabbix FTW! 1.8.x branch is
Zabbix FTW! 1.8.x branch is showing big improvements in stability, features, and php frontend
Zabbix missing?
Wondering why Zabbix is not listed as an option.
Favorite monitoring app: Hobbit
Simple and extendable.
I have used Big Brother, and
I have used Big Brother, and now use hobbit to monitor over 4000 devices across 430 distinct sites. Works great and the customization ability and extensibility is amazing. Anything you can check with a simple script can be monitored and graphed.
Zabbix, OpenNMS
Switched from Openview long, long ago. Switched from BB long ago. Switched from Nagios+Cacti a couple of years ago. Am quite satisfied with Zabbix now, though it's alerting subsystem is not up to Nagios it is otherwise much simpler and more powerfull. We write python + zabbix_get scripts to do alerting. Main drawback, other than alerts, is that it's written in PHP.
Second place has to go to OpenNMS which has most of the features of the others but none of the upgrade / security / integration hassles (thanks primarily to Java).
OpenNMS of course.
OpenNMS of course.

The centenary of the Satyagraha Movement observed
TIRUCHI: Members of the Tiruchi-Vedaranyam Salt Satyagraha Platinum Jubilee Padayatra Committee Trust and the Tamil Nadu Pradesh Congress Seva Dal observed the centenary of the Sathyagraha Movement and the 77th anniversary of the Vedaranyam Salt Satyagraha by paying floral tribute at the Salt Satyagraha Memorial here on Friday.
Besides taking a national integration oath, they observed a fast near the memorial.
The Vedaranyam March began on April 13, 1930 from the bungalow of the late Congress leader, T.S.S. Rajan (behind the TTC bus stand) here, from where Rajaji, freedom fighter, along with 100 Congress workers set off for Vedaranyam.
The Vedaranyam March was on the lines of the Dandi Salt Satyagraha March led by Gandhiji himself.
It proved a landmark event in the annals of the freedom movement in South India.
A resolution adopted at the end of the fast said Mahatma Gandhi had stayed in the Dr. Rajan bungalow during his visit to Tiruchi in 1927 and the Vedaranyam March began from the bungalow.
The State Government should convert the bungalow into a memorial and make it `Gandhi Museum'. The participants of the re-enacted Vedaranyam Salt Satyagraha March held in connection with the 40th year of India's Independence in 1988 were honoured by the Government. A total of 135 Congress Seva Dal workers participated in the Platinum Jubilee March in 2005, another resolution said and urged the Government to honour them too. The Mayor, Sarubala R. Tondaiman, the president of the trust, Thalapathi Manikkam, Additional Chief Organiser of the Seva Dal, S. T. Manohar, the treasurer of the Trust, Sakthi Selvaganapathi, and freedom fighters paid tribute.

Just a week out from the season-opening game against Clemson, Georgia coaches seem fine with leaving some uncertainty on whether All-SEC inside linebacker Ramik Wilson will be starting.
"We'll have to see, it's too early to say," inside linebackers coach Mike Ekeler said. "We've got a lot of capable guys, a lot of guys that have been out there practicing the whole time."
Wilson hasn't been practicing the whole time because he sustained a concussion that kept him out for more than a week, but he's been back for more than a week now.
"Any time you miss practice, it sets you back and he missed a bunch," Ekeler said. "It kind of is what it is, and we've made some moves and so he's trying to battle his way back right now."
Wilson still lined up with Amarlo Herrera as the starters in the portion of practice open to the media Friday, but Ekeler spoke differently about Herrera's spot in the lineup.
"He's been out there every time," Ekeler said. "He's busting his tail and he's getting better and he's got good command of everything. The way coach (Jeremy) Pruitt talks, too, it's a week by week deal. You don't rest on your laurels around here. You've got to earn it every week, every day in practice."
Sophomores Tim Kimbrough and Reggie Carter got more work with the top unit when Wilson was out.
"They've done a great job," Ekeler said.
And maybe gave Wilson something to think about.
"Competition brings out the best in everyone," Ekeler said. "It adds a little bit of pressure, which is good."

Homeowner Kills Weeds With Tarp
By JULIE H. MANN For the Maryland Gazette
Many homeowners wage rigorous chemical warfare on weeds, applying regular doses of herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides.
They do it to eliminate grubs, crabgrass, wiregrass, spurge, chickweed, and clover.
Not Wendy Osborn.
The longtime Severna Park gardener decided last year to invest in a radical approach. She went green, using passive solar power, plastic and patience to rid her family's lawn of pesky weeds.
Surprising their neighbors in Chartwell, Mrs. Osborn and her husband, Mike, swathed their front lawn in an expanse of heavy- gauge black polyvinyl chloride tarp.
From the street to the front steps of their white two-story Colonial house, the Osborns' once weedy lawn vanished under a black tarp last August, during a severe drought.
Heavy slabs of slate and chunks of rock anchored the yards of thick black plastic.
Through last year's hot, dry autumn, and 2008′s mild winter, rainy spring, and average summer, the tarp deprived the Osborns' lawn of water, sunlight and nutrients.
Powerful heat and darkness killed the weeds.
"I wanted to use a greener approach," Mrs. Osborn said.
She tried it successfully before, in the back yard. "We did apply a small amount of herbicide, to get things started," she said. "Bermuda grass, or wire grass, is extremely hardy. You pull it, and think you've got it all, but its roots are extremely long and deep. … It has to be smothered to really go away."
The black tarp dries weeds to a crisp. Then they decompose, leaving behind clean-looking soil. The obvious drawback is looking at the tarp for three or four seasons.
"I'm sure the neighbors will be very glad to see the tarp go away, since we've had it on the lawn for a year," Mrs. Osborn said.
She checked on the ground recently, and was pleased that it looked rich and fertile, with nary a weed or blade of grass in sight. Weeds have a powerful ability to regenerate, even under harsh conditions. "Within three weeks of removing the tarp the first time, weeds sprouted," Mrs. Osborn said. "So we had to put it back for a little longer. Then it was effective."
For the front yard, the Osborns will install a sprinkler system and sod, rather than seeding the lawn.
Because water is a precious resource, she said that sprinklers on timers are more conservative than watering with hoses. "Everybody wants a beautiful lawn, but I wanted to achieve it without loading the ground with excess chemicals."
She and family members recently designed and installed a paved walkway, and islands of drought-tolerant plantings in their sunny front yard.
"It's been fascinating to see what we could do with a passive weed killing system," Mrs. Osborn said. "Going green has been a lot less work than spending all that time and money using chemicals." {Corrections:} {Status:}

7:4 like a lion. The "lion" with "eagle's wings" is an appropriate symbol for the Babylonian Empire (cf. Jer. 50:44; Ezek. 17:3, 12). Winged lions with human faces were common in Babylonian art and were placed at the entrances of important public buildings.
wings were plucked off. Perhaps this is a reference to Nebuchadnezzar's humiliation and later restoration after a seven-year period of insanity (ch. 4).

PORTLAND The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for possible snow flurries in the Portland Metro area Monday afternoon.
KGW Meteorologist Rod Hill says to expect a trace of snow, with an inch or less in the Cascades foothills. There is a chance of freezing rain Tuesday morning, but the temps should move back into the low 40s by Tuesday afternoon.
Oregon State University, along with other schools in Clackamas, Marion and Linn County announced they would be closed Monday with more closures possible throughout the day.
Portland/Vanc/Salem School Closures
The coldest night of a recent chill came overnight Saturday with temperatures at Portland International Airport dipping down to 13 degrees.
In Salem, temperatures were as low as 8 degrees, but that was nothing compared with Eugene, which saw -10 degrees, coming within 2 degrees of a record low.
The freezing weather caused water pipes to rupture around the Portland metro area Sunday afternoon, with 26 calls coming into Tualatin dispatchers in just three hours.
Forecast | Temperature maps | Wind Chill
Volunteers from several groups were out during the weekend bringing blankets to anyone who needed one. They also made sure everyone knows of available warming shelters to come inside to spend the night.
More: Frigid temps make for life-or-death situation on the streets
The arctic air blast follows a wild weather pattern Friday that brought a dusting of snow to the Metro area, anywhere from1 to 2 inches in SW Washington, and the Oregon Coast, and all the way up to 9 inches in Albany and Corvallis.
On Saturday, snow lined the sides of Interstate 5 and freezing weather made driving conditions challenging south of Salem.
KGW news photographer Rod Stevens set up a GoPro high def camera on his dashboard and captured the icy conditions near the Albany rest area Saturday morning. Cautious drivers moved slowly on the icy stretch of roadway.
More: Corvallis,Salem hit hard by snow
Snow closed schools and created treacherous traveling conditions from the North Coast, down into the south Willamette Valley Friday morning.
School districts in the Coast Range and Southwest Washington closed or had buses on snow routes and some delayed starts.
Snow also shut down mid-Willamette Valley school districts and brought freeway traffic to a halt from Salem to Eugene.

National educational science exhibition inaugurated
Kozhikode: Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan has said there is no meaning in crying over protection of forests and wild animals, but what is needed is hard decisions to protect them.
The Chief Minister was speaking at a meeting to open the Malabar Botanical Garden to the public and to inaugurate a national educational science exhibition 'Biodiversity India,' here on Saturday. Mr. Achuthanandan said only because the previous UDF government had forgot to protect the forests and rivers, the present government was forced to take hard and bold decisions in Munnar and other places. The present government was taking over the protection of the forest and rivers by paying 'compound interest'.
He said that laws alone cannot protect paddy fields and wetlands. Public awareness was also important. Minister for Industries Elamaram Karim presided over the function.
The garden, which was open only to students for study purposes, would now be open to the public. The garden has herbal garden, Hortus Malabaricus garden and `star forest' apart from these water plants. It has a total area of 40 acres and has been dedicated to the memory of Itty Achuthan Vaidyar, who helped in the compilation of Hortus Malabaricus.
The exhibition conducted by the Kerala State Council for Science, Technology and Environment (KSCSTE) is attended by more than 40 research institutions across the country. The exhibition showcases fossils of very old plants, different varieties of butterflies, birds, fish, domestic animals, spices and agricultural crops.
The smallest plant, seed, frog and varieties of ginger were exhibited. Different types of soil, water, life style of tribals and different types of wood were also displayed. The exhibition will conclude on February 13. The entrance fee is Rs.10 and students coming with attestation letters from respective institution heads will be charged only Rs.5.

We had a great day at the show yesterday , but many of the previous vendors were a no show. Maybe a sign of the economy. The usual bling boats were there, Hylas, Shannon, Outbound, beautiful 47Passport. We actually Ike the new 41 Gozzard.
Ran into Mike and his wife and had dinner at Joss with Shawn and Raina. It's terrible when the best restaurant in town like this is a sushi restaurant. It ais ahold one though and the food was very good. Especially like the dessert of fried bananas, red beans vanilla ice cream and honey. Was great catching up with our friends especially.
Have fun at the show today , we are off sailing over to Wye River so there wilbe a mooring ball free in from of Jabins on Back Creek

Ras Kass - Holes in the Ozone
Artist: Ras Kass
Producer: Doc Hollywood
Album: The Barmageddon Mixtape
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 10 votes )
It's getting harder and harder to ignore the effects of human carelessness on the world around us—whether you're talking about the Holes in the Ozone caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, or the pollution of our aural environment with wack tunes. Unwilling to sit back and watch as everything goes to sh*t, Ras Kass raises consciousness regarding the former issue while doing his part to combat the latter on single numero uno off his forthcoming full-length. Making its world premiere as entry #17 in The DJBooth and Event Electonics' 20/20 Music Series, this jam finds Doc Hollywood crafting a dreamy, retro-informed instrumental backdrop (complete with an eerily familiar sitar riff) as the Cali underground mainstay uses ecology as a springboard for some characteristically irreverent, allusive lyrical flames. Holes is just one of many quality cuts set for inclusion on Ras Kass' FILA (F*ck It Loseit All) LP, which is set for a December release. Additionally, keep it locked for further world premieres throughout the remainder of November, and click here to learn how you can win a pair of Event's new 20/20 BAS monitors.

"Older patients may lack mobility or are just tired of seeing so many doctors, and may oftentimes come in with thicker, more advanced lesions," Ashinoff said. "I have seen an increase in melanoma in younger patients, especially women, and tanning may play a significant role in this."
It is "ominous" that the study showed that incidence of thicker lesions is increasing, Ashinoff said. "This is the area where we have to change those statistics," she stressed.
"We need to get the word out so that patients may be diagnosed when totally curable with surgery," Ashinoff said. "Public education in places like Australia has made significant strides in decreasing melanoma rates. We need to do a better job in the U.S."

Antibiotic resistance, the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of drugs, is perhaps the single most important infectious disease threat of our time. Although some people are at greater risk than others, no one can completely avoid the risk of antibiotic-resistant infections. These infections affect real people and they can be horrible for patients. Infections with resistant organisms are difficult to treat, requiring costly and sometimes toxic alternatives. Resistant infections account for at least $20 billion in excess direct healthcare costs and up to $35 billion in lost productivity due to hospitalizations and sick days each year.
Every year, more than two million people in the United States get infections that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die as a result. Clostridium difficile (C. diff), a serious diarrheal infection usually associated with antibiotic use, causes about 250,000 hospitalizations and at least 14,000 deaths every year in the United States.

Vatican acts to protect Michelangelo frescoes as Sistine Chapel visitors swell
Published on Jun 12, 2014 1:02 PM
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Dust, sweat and carbon dioxide brought into the Sistine Chapel by a swelling number of tourists risk damaging priceless Michelangelo frescoes, the Vatican said on Wednesday, hoping a new air conditioning and lighting system will protect them.
Some six million people a year visit the chapel, home to Michelangelo's famous ceiling frescoes - one of the wonders of Western civilisation that are over 500 years old.
The number of visitors to the chapel - where popes are elected in secret conclaves - can reach 20,000 a day in summer.
Their numbers have grown by 300 per cent from around 1.5 million a year in 1980, said Antonio Paolucci, head of the Vatican museums.

|04.15.12 at 6:59 pm ET
The Bruins' regulars stayed off the ice Sunday, as the team elected to rest up after playing overtime games Thursday and Saturday before Monday's Game 3 against the Capitals.
At Sunday's media availability, coach Claude Julien said that Tuukka Rask, who has missed the first two games of the series with an abdomen/groin injury, will make the trip to the nation's capital. Adam McQuaid (upper-body) will not.
"He's not going to make the trip," Julien said. "He's going to stay here and continue to get treatment because ight now he's not ready to go on the ice, so he's going to continue treatment. When he's ready to start working out with the team then we'll bring him with us."

Janine Tugonon wants to open a place for abandoned kids and the elderly
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
One of the function rooms at the Raffles Hotel was transformed last week into a young girl's dream wardrobe. Rows of stilettos and platform shoes lined one wall while dozens of beaded, draped and frothy gowns in neutral hues took up more than ample space.
On one table, glittering baubles from Bulgari waited to be worn, their security detail consisting of two burly men in barong never taking their eyes off them.
The team from Franck Provost was discussing with the Look magazine (April issue) stylist whether the model's hair would be worn up or down while makeup artist Paolo Maranan set up his lighted makeup stand by the window for more natural light.
Fresh-faced beauty
By the time the Janine Marie Togonon arrived, the team was raring to go. When the country's Miss Universe 2012 first runner-up entered the room, however, we were greeted by the sight of a fresh-faced young woman who looked like she was barely out of her teens.
There was no high-wattage smile or come-hither look. The "Cobra walk" we silently wished for was nowhere to be seen as she quietly made her way to the hairstylists who quickly began teasing and combing, pinning and piling her hair.
It was only during the interview that this writer began to see glimpses of the beauty queen that almost won the Miss Universe crown last December. Although Togonon admitted that in childhood, she never considered joining a beauty contest, much less representing the Philippines in the prestigious Miss Universe, once she became one of the contestants in Binibining Pilipinas, she put her mind, body and soul to it.
"We never watched the Binibining Pilipinas or any other pageant on TV when I was growing up. I wanted to become a doctor, I wanted a job that dealt with medicine because I come from a family of doctors. When I realized it would take years to become a doctor, I decided to become a pharmacist," Togonon said.
As a beauty contestant, she went on a strict diet which ruled out eating rice, allowing only for fish and a small amount of meat. "I didn't miss eating rice probably because I grew used to it pretty quickly—plus, there's always bread. We also had to take gym classes under John Cuay as a group. As part of winning Binibining Pilipinas-Universe, I was required to undergo more targeted sessions, including core training."
Togonon took to the routine rather easily because even as a child, she enjoyed working up a sweat playing outdoors. "I play badminton, but I also enjoy trekking and rafting, anything to make me sweat because I feel like I lose weight if I perspire at least once a day," she said.
Togonon is an animated talker. Her eyes, which she says are her favorite body part, are expressive. She knows this now and makes it a point to wear eye makeup before she leaves the house, something she did not normally do when she was simply Janine the pharmacist.
"I really have to put more effort into how I look in public because I realized that people have started to look up to me after I came home with the first runner-up sash."
Handling the pressure
Asked how she and her boyfriend are handling the pressures of being in the public eye, she said that it was hard at first. Togonon intimated that her boyfriend was affected by the put-downs and name-calling that took place soon after the pageant.
"People say I should be with someone more handsome and richer, but I told Jaypee that if I did that, what would that make me? What kind of principles would I be espousing if I followed that kind of thinking? It's still difficult, but we're hanging in there because Jesus is with us," she said.
In the meantime, Togonon is open to the idea of going into show biz like the two previous Miss Universe beauty queens, Venus Raj and Shamcey Supsup. "Maybe I can do hosting jobs or a bit of acting, but I have to train before I accept any acting assignments."
She is also seriously considering what to do with this newfound acclaim. "Since the Miss Universe pageant, I've been reading tweets from people who say that I've inspired them, although I'm not sure how I was able to do that exactly.
"With this influence I have now, my mother suggested that we put up an adoption agency or a home for the aged. Although the Binibining Pilipinas Charities already has its own list of organizations, my mother and I want something we can call our own."
Young, beautiful, and with a heart of gold. She may not have clinched that Miss Universe crown, but with her plans to open a facility for abandoned children or elderly folks, Togonon has certainly captured the hearts of Filipinos everywhere.

State legislators are calling for improved training and increased accountability for police officers after the death of Derek Williams in police custody in July 2011.
The move comes after a Journal Sentinel investigation prompted the Milwaukee County medical examiner's office to change the manner of death for Williams from natural to homicide. After 10 months of requests, the newspaper obtained police reports in the case as well as the squad car video that shows Williams, 22, struggling to breathe and begging for help as officers ignore his pleas.
State Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee) and state Rep. Garey Bies (R-Sister Bay) plan to reintroduce bipartisan legislation that would mandate new training and education standards for police officers.
"There is some training that all officers should have and is necessary so that what we experience is not the horrific thing that Derek Williams went through in the back of that car," Taylor said.
State Rep. Dean Kaufert (R-Neenah) said he supports additional training as well.
"I believe more training is a good thing, especially for people who are carrying weapons and dealing with the public," said Kaufert, whose fa ther was a police officer. "They have a very stressful job."
The legislation would require officers to be trained in "cultural differences, mental health and physical health conditions that can affect behavior and arrest and pursuit procedures," according to the bill, which was first introduced in 2009. The specifics of the training would be set by the state Law Enforcement Standards Board, the agency in charge of officer training and certification.
Three years ago, the bill had bipartisan co-sponsors and support, as well as the support of the Wisconsin Professional Police Association, according to Taylor's office. It passed the Senate Judiciary Committee, 4-1, but was not scheduled for a floor vote by then-Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, who left the Legislature last year.
New training in cultural competency is key to improving the relationship between Milwaukee police and the community, Taylor said.
The "lack of sensitivity" Milwaukee police Chief Edward Flynn has shown in dealing with the Williams case and in other incidents involving the African-American community has not helped matters, said Taylor, who is black. She said she was troubled by what may have been a "coverup" in the initial investigation and by Flynn's statement that the new medical examiner's report contained no new information and no "new objective facts."
"Whether or not he should still be in his job is an issue," Taylor said. "(The statement) was symbolic of a pattern that has exhibited itself in him and in this department that must be eradicated with accountability, transparency and immediate response."
Bies, who spent 30 years with the Door County Sheriff's Department, said instilling the proper attitude in officers starts with the chief.
"It starts from on top and you have to lead by example," Bies said. "In a bigger department you have to be sure everybody is in tune, and it's got to come from the top down. You've got to do some real work on that."
Flynn came to Milwaukee as the city struggled with the aftermath of the beating of Frank Jude Jr. by a group of off-duty officers at a house party in 2004. Jude is biracial. The officers were white. Seven officers were convicted of federal crimes as a result of the beating.
But problems between police and the African-American community have continued, Taylor said.
"I refuse to accept that we're going to be known for having a Police Department that has the Jude case and the Derek Williams case and incidents where it is felt that there is a level of disrespect and insensitivity of the police chief to have important conversations," she said.
James Hall, president of the Milwaukee branch of the NAACP, shared Taylor's concerns.
"The community deserves accountability and transparency and fairness in terms of police operations and interactions," he said.
Whether Flynn sees that those things happen should determine whether he remains chief here, Hall said.
Flynn did not respond to an email Tuesday.
At a news conference Monday, he pledged to be more open with the community.
"We certainly believe that a public airing of the facts is in the best interest of all concerned - the Police Department, the community, indeed the legitimacy of the entire process," he said.
Flynn also said officers would receive additional training in dealing with medical distress in handcuffed prisoners and will be taught to err on the side of caution, calling for medical assistance if they have any reason to believe someone is in distress.
The department has created a critical incident review board, which will respond to incidents in which citizens are injured, killed or shot by police officers, he said. The board, consisting solely of Police Department employees, will recommend policies to improve training and ensure that the department conforms to national best practices when evaluating such incidents, Flynn said.
The video, posted Sunday on JSOnline.com, shows a handcuffed Williams, his eyes rolled back, gasping for breath and begging for help as officers ignore his pleas. One of them tells him, "You're breathing fine" and "Stop messing around."
Williams struggles to breathe for 7 minutes, 45 seconds, then slumps over, unconscious.
After that, an officer checks his pulse several times, props him up in the seat and walks to a nearby supervisor's car. Finding no one there, the officer returns, pulls Williams out of the squad car and starts CPR as a different officer calls for medical assistance.
At least three minutes pass between the time Williams loses consciousness and the time the officer takes Williams out of the car.
Police and paramedics continue CPR for more than 45 minutes before Williams is declared dead.
Assistant Medical Examiner Christopher Poulos told the Journal Sentinel in March that he had not watched the video before making his initial determination of natural death. It is unclear whether he reviewed all the police reports at that time.
He revised his decision last week, after the newspaper alerted him to newly released records, including the video and police reports that describe an altercation during which an officer pressed his knee into Williams' back as Williams lay facedown and handcuffed.
The revised finding does not mean a crime was committed. To medical examiners, homicide means "death at the hands of another." In contrast, the crime of homicide requires prosecutors to prove intent to kill, reckless disregard for life or negligent disregard for life while operating a firearm or a vehicle.
A statement released Monday by the medical examiner's office said only that the new ruling of homicide was made "based upon information that had previously not been reviewed." It is not clear if Poulos had the video and police reports but did not view them, or if the Police Department did not provide them.
Officials at the Police Department, district attorney's office and the city's Fire and Police Commission all viewed the video months ago and concluded the officers involved did nothing wrong. As a result of Poulos' new ruling, all three have reopened their inquiries.
Instead of conducting his own review, Chisholm will appoint a special prosecutor to take over the new criminal investigation because he does not want it to be colored by the previous one, he said Monday. Chisholm also said he would ask the special prosecutor - to be named later - to convene an inquest, which is a public hearing to assist the district attorney in deciding whether to file charges.
Chisholm should appoint the special prosecutor quickly and keep the community informed as the investigations progress, four black Common Council members told him during a meeting Tuesday. Council President Willie Hines and Council members Milele Coggs, Ashanti Hamilton and Willie Wade attended the meeting, as did Flynn.
During a news conference afterward in the City Hall rotunda, the four aldermen also said they want to know why Poulos did not view the police squad video before making his initial ruling on Williams' death.
Although they did not receive an immediate answer, Hines called it a productive meeting that left him hopeful and optimistic.
"At the same time, it's important for us to be diligent," he said.
In addition to the Common Council, State Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is monitoring the situation.
U.S. Attorney James Santelle said Monday he is weighing both a federal criminal investigation and a more sweeping examination into a possible pattern of civil rights abuses by the Milwaukee Police Department.
In a statement released Tuesday, Milwaukee County Supervisor Russell W. Stamper II said the criminal investigation is warranted.
"The sight of the young man struggling to breathe and pleading for help while the officers ignore and disregard his torment are blatant human rights and civil rights violations," he said. "The officers responsible must be held accountable and charged. I look forward to the result of the investigation where justice is required."
Community meeting
Milwaukee Matters, a grass-roots group, will convene a community meeting and screen the squad video of Derek Williams' death and police efforts to revive him at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Milwaukee Brotherhood of Firefighters hall, 7717 W. Good Hope Road. The group also invites the public to get involved and to share their experiences with the Milwaukee Police Department at www.derekmichaelwilliamsjr.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/MishandledByMPD.

Speed Week: the Brits fly south
Tom Ford leads the British group to France, with a pit stop at Le Mans
Posted: 16 Aug 2013
Next up, iPad art director Owen Norris appears in Top Gear's long-term Ford Fiesta ST, smiling like someone who has something up his sleeve. Turns out he has. The 175bhp Fiesta ST is already one of our favourite hot hatches, but for Speed Week, Ford has allowed us to upgrade the little hatch to ST+ specification. Which consists of a £600 ECU and airbox modification by Ford gurus Mountune that adds a scouring induction noise, 10 per cent more torque and a 212bhp output - a bit more with overboost. Judging by the width of Owen's grin, it works.

ST. LOUIS - The Cardinals need to pony up and pay Adam Wainwright. Soon. The club made the right decision to let Albert Pujols leave. They also made the right choice by locking up Gold Glove catcher Yadier Molina. Now its Wainwrights turn, and the Cardinals need to do whatever it takes to bring him back as well. Wainwright has one year remaining on his current contract and is set to become a free agent after next season. He went 14-13 with a 3.94 ERA this past season, his first since missing all of 2010 due to Tommy John surgery. The former 20-game winner proved he was healthy by pitching a full season in 2012. And now the Cardinals need to talk with him about a long-term contract to stay in St. Louis. Theres plenty of reasons for the Cardinals to get a deal with Wainwright done now. Heres a few of them: 1. Another Pujols situation could unfold if the club goes into next season without a new deal in place. If Wainwright gets to free agency, teams such as the Yankees, Red Sox, A...

A look back at all of the Jaguar Types
To celebrate the new F-Type, we reminisce on 61 years of Jag Types
Posted: 10 Apr 2012
Like the C, it was a factory-built racer, only this came with added AWESOME. See the giant stabiliser? That was designed by Malcolm Sayer to keep the car steady on the Mulsanne straight at Le Mans - he joined Jaguar after working at the Bristol Aeroplane Company, so it works and everything.
They were initially race-only machines, but after Jaguar withdrew from racing they offered the remaining, unfinished chassis as the roadgoing XKSS. To service public highway legislation Jag added an extra seat, another door, a full-width windscreen and a slightly rubbish folding roof. Steve McQueen bought one. Which makes it brilliant.
