Charles Casillo has released an almost completely new (100-plus fresh pages) version of his '99 novel The Marilyn Diaries, in which he imagines how an MM journal might read.
A sample:
"[Elizabeth Taylor] stuck out her ass in my face and said, 'I'm just making sure my panties don't ride up, honey. I don't want to ruin the lines in my dress.'
"'Oh, don't worry about that, dear,' I replied, 'Your body already does that.'"

The Pope Is a Christian!
Garry Wills
Some Catholic bloggers have suggested that the pope is not truly Catholic. They are right to be in a panic. They are not used to having a pope who is a Christian.

Anne Boleyn: From the moment you enter public consciousness, you carry the projections of everyone who is afraid of sex or ashamed of it. You will never be loved by the English people, who want a proper, royal Queen like Katherine, and who don't like change of any sort. Does that matter? Not really.
It is not surprising that the images on Tarot cards, so vivid and mysterious, appeal to poets as a means of providing metaphors. Intrigued by Jessie Weston's suggestion, in From Ritual to Romance, that the Tarot was related to fertility cults, T. S. Eliot inserted "Madame Sosotris, famous clairvoyante," and her "wicked pack of cards" into The Waste Land.
At fifty-seven, Michel Houellebecq has the miraculous look of someone almost double his age. Etched, haggard, battered, half-collapsed, his face seems destined to become one of the great ruins of our literary era; something to measure up to Beckett or Auden—for druidic ancientness if not quite nobility. His mouth in particular is alarmingly caved-in, as though his mother had followed through on her notorious threat to smash his teeth in with her walking stick if he ever wrote about her again.
In eastern Ukraine, civilians are suffering, as they do in all wars, but in this one, older people are suffering the most. Even when peace returns to Pervomaysk, it will have to contend with a fresh layer of bitterness. As in war-ravaged parts of the Balkans, buildings can be rebuilt, but if there is no work and no reason to return, then places like this will dwindle and die.
The Israeli electorate has given a clear mandate. There will be more antidemocratic legislation, more attempts to undermine the courts, more rampant racism, more thugs in high office, more acts of cruelty inflicted on innocents, more paranoid indoctrination in the schools, more hate propaganda, more wanton destruction of Bedouin villages, more war-mongering, and quite possibly more needless war.
When the photographer Mani and I arrived in Homs, in mid-January 2012, the Syrian revolution was reaching the end of its first year. In the city and the surrounding towns, the people were gathering daily to demonstrate. They still believed that song, dance, slogans, and prayer were stronger than fear and bullets. They were wrong, of course.
The knowledge that I was only one of a crowd of children devoted to Laura Ingalls Wilder's stories of American pioneer life could not have altered the intensity of my personal attachment to the brave, and often surprisingly lonely, heroine, the girl Laura whose travels with her family take her from the Big Woods of Wisconsin to Indian Territory (Kansas); then to Minnesota and, finally, Dakota Territory, in the years from 1869 to 1883. By fifteen, I was already nostalgic for Laura's world and for my eight-year-old self who had first discovered it.
When Russian authorities rounded up five Chechen suspects in the assassination of leading opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, it appeared the Kremlin was following a predictable path. Instead, the arrests have led to new speculation about the Kremlin's involvement in the murder.
We can admire a writer's determination not to surf a wave of public acclaim, but all the same no one is isolated from the consequences of success. The work is clearly influenced by the attention it achieves. And since many admire a writer all the more for his intransigent refusal to cozy up to the reader, this hostile reaction actually feeds the public's interest and esteem.

(you might want to read parts one and two first, but they are not needed)
Ok, so by now you should already know that, when compared to co-located teams, distributed teams sucks badly. That does not mean at all that you can't have great distributed teams: it's just way more difficult and hard to find. Communication, culture, identity, collaboration, trust, awareness and several other key factors for performance are affected when we can't share the same space.
As I wrote in my previous article, if you can't get rid of the noise (i.e., bringing your people back together), you have to increase the signal. You have to think on ways to increase al these performance factors remotely, and invest into them aggressively. I promised to give you some clues, tips and insights on how to deal with this, so here you are.
- We are a team: and not just any kind of team, but a problem-solving team. This is different, for instance, from a bowling team or a chess team, where every 'team' member will play their game and add their score to the 'team's' result. In such a team, if results are bad but one team member won his games he might say 'hey, it's not my fault, I did my part'. This kind of behavior does not work well when we have a common problem to solve. Being a team means that decisions are made together, information is shared and we help each other to succeed. This needs to be enforced through the rest of these rules.
- Enforce communication: communication must be pushed, not pulled. Team members must not seek for communication only when they feel that it is important or needed, there must be something similar to the 'osmotic communication' that happens on a co-located team. For some distributed teams I've coached, it was usual to have not one but two daily meetings to synchronize and organize work.
- Enforce collaboration: the trend to work alone and isolated is bigger on distributed teams. Team agreements should encourage people to share work items and work together at them as a way to share knowledge and achieve a common understanding and way of working. Tools like a version control system, shared environments and continuous integration help teams to be aware of what everyone else is doing and force people to collaborate on a frequent basis. If you have people in two locations, making them team across locations instead of creating local teams will help to lower all the communication and collaboration barriers created by distance (see Jeff Sutherland's notes on SirsiDynix case).
- Frequent delivery: risks on a distributed environment are greater. In order to find out problems as soon as possible, you want to make feedback loops as short and frequent as possible. For instance, you could consider asking for working software at the end of every week instead of every two weeks.
- Inspect and review: especially for outsourced teams, it's not enough to have working software. Even running, tested features might hide spaghetti code, rat nests and technical debt that will make software maintenance or evolution a nightmare. Code must be inspected locally to be sure that the remote team members are following the relevant guidelines, code standards and best practices. You don't have to read every line of code, but opening some files and 'smelling' the code daily is a very good practice. For distributed teams, each team member should take the daily task of inspecting someone else's code for a while.
Bonus tip: you might want to check Luis Gonçalves' article on how to build trust on distributed teams.
- Videoconference: nowadays, with ubiquitous and free videoconferencing tools like Skype or Google Hangout, there is no excuse not to incorporate videoconferencing as a regular mean of communication amongst team members. Planning sessions, retrospectives, demos and daily meetings work better if we can see each other while we discuss.
- Shared desktops: the ability to share a document and see what the other person is doing, or even being able to write, code or modify a file together makes it really easier to collaborate. Skype is a good tool for this, but there are others you might want to explore.
- Shared folders and repositories: a version system is a must for any software development team, Git /GitHub being one of the main players in this area. Google Drive, Gdocs, Dropbox and similar services have made sharing files something trivial, although your team might need some rules on how to modify these files without smashing other people's changes.
- Same environments: you have to make sure that everyone is using development environments that are identical, meaning same versions of product development stack, database, etc. Using a shared environment for everyone is a controversial measure – it ensures that the environment is the same, but it might introduce more trouble if someone breaks it and might scale worse – like, for instance, if someone need to stop a service and then everyone else must wait. The shared environment approach can be substituted by frequent code chek-ins, frequent builds, frequent test runs and frequent deploys.
- Constant Chat: Videoconference is great for meetings, but you need a lightweight solution for constant communication. Chat and Messenger tools are the preferred approach for many teams, but I've had some success using Audio chats: all team members will log in to a common audio chat room and use headsets all the time they are at work. This favors all kind of informal communication to happen, all the time (like someone inadvertely saying 'dammit, why is the server not responding?'). If someone needs to be concentrated and not interrupted, he might open a separate audio room with the title 'do not disturb', which still allows other team members to reach him by audio in case of an emergency. Ventrilo or Team Speak are a couple of tools I used in the past, you might want to try others. Very recently, the Happy Melly crew gave some enthusiastic reviews on Slack, you might also want to check that one.
- Project Management Tools: In case you need some project management and coordination software, Basecamp, Asana and Trello are very popular tools these days. If you can afford Jira + Confluence it's also very recommended tool. I've also found that many teams will just need GitHub for coordination and project management. Anyway, review your actual need of these tools. I've found many times that a simple shared spreadsheet with the backlog and little more information is bare enough to coordinate most teams.
- Knowledge sharing: In his (recommended) book about managing a distributed team at WordPress, Scott Berkun describes how most teams at Automatt used a WordPress Blog with a specially customized theme (P2) as a repository of most team conversations, tasks, discussions… This makes it easier to search for past discussions, or even to leverage the learning curve of new team members. Wikis might also be a good tool, specially if you can link them to the project management / software development tools – check Confluence for this.
In my next articles about distributed teams, I'll share some final thoughts on working across different time zones and cultures, as well as some rules for working solo at home. Stay tuned for them!

If your looking for dye that will give you bright red hair without having to bleach, this is probably the best product around. I used it for quite a few months and was CONSTANTLY complimented on my hair wherever I went. However now that I'm trying to go to a more natural red, I find it hard to recommend it. There are several sections of my hair that WILL NOT retain color. I tried twice to have it done at a salon and it didn't even take. Its possible it's because my hair is so fine, either way I'm pretty upset about the blond pieces. I can't bring myself to give this product an awful rating because it did what i wanted and the result was fantastic. But it can be damaging. March 3, 2015
Review is for the RED I watched a ton of youtube videos and did my research on dying my hair red from a dark brown color. 8/10 videos the girls recommended this product. I like the fact you do not HAVE to use bleach to get your hair a nice red shade. I wanted a bright Ariel Red. I used this product 3 times and it didn't lighten after each use. I ended up bleaching my hair with the Ion Sensitive Scalp developer in 40 and Ion's Lightener, then used the HiColor HiLights in Red, again. I absolutely love my red hair now! If you're looking for a very pretty cola/cherry color, this stuff works great for that, but if you're looking for bright red hair like Ariel (and me!) you need to pre lighten your hair. I did see one girl on youtube have bright red hair and she only used this product twice from having super dark hair, but I am sure she left out a few things. I just don't see this product getting your hair super bright after 2 uses from black hair. Also, do not start at your roots. I found this out the hard way the first time, my roots were SUPER bright and the rest was not at all so I looked silly for a few days lol. January 29, 2015
Absolutely perfect! I bought this in Magenta after doing a lot of research. I've been wanting red hair for a while but didn't want to bleach my hair. I have natural pitch black hair that hasn't been dyed since 2007. When I saw how well this product was working for others, I decided to try it myself. I followed the directions on the box and my hair came out perfectly; it came out a very vibrant dark cherry red in my dark hair which is exactly what I wanted. I could do the process again if I wanted a brighter BAM red, but I'm happy as it is. I'm so incredibly happy with it, loreal has definitely gotten themselves a new customer! I dyed my hair about a week ago at this point, and it looks great. I haven't had any problems with the color rubbing off on any of my light pillow cases or clothes. I will definitely repurchase when I need to touch it up. January 15, 2015
red; easy to use, litens hair, dont like tone REVIEW IS FOR RED. i have dark brown hair with 25% grey. i was using a gorgeous cool toned discontinued box dye that lifted my hair 3 shades. went to sallys to match it or find a better one. the 2 ladies looked at every red in the store and picked this in MAGENTA cuz of my lite cool toned skin n blue eyes. they didnt like the red cuz to them n me it for sure looked orange n warm toned. i ordered 1 RED 4 the heck of it n 3 MAGENTAS. I just did a strand test with the red and 30% oreor creme developer. it was so easy to use...not 1 drip, bleeding etc. left it in 30 mins and washed it out. it did liten my hair 3 shades but i HATE THIS SHADE...its a lite, brite, salmon-red with orange tones. its warm not cool toned..not at all becoming on me....shoulda listened to the ladies. RED is a primary red while MAGENTA is a violet red so it cannot turn that dreaded orange. i called loreal n they told me the magenta will give me a cool toned pinkish berry red which is what i was looking for. i hope it looks better than the red.

Is this PPD free? Will it work on dyed hair?
My friend recently dyed my hair black and I found out I have a PPD allergy. She was supposed to give me highlights and lo lights so the black wouldn't be so extreme but because of my allergy couldn't do it. Will this work to lighten dyed black hair?

I want to elongate the magenta color in my hair so can i put a little bit of this in my conditioner ? And if i can should i put it withthe developer or not ?
3 months, 2 weeks ago
A:no way. you do have a few options.
1. after you color your hair you are supposed to rinse it out and when water runs clear you wash with a color safe shampoo.
2. if you have oily hair use a color color sealing conditioner before you wash. if your hair is dry use the color sealing conditioner after you wash. do this each time whether you dye your hair or not.
3. between dying your hair you can deep condition with loreal natures therapy mega moisture which is a great is a great color seal in conditioner.

HARRIS COUNTY -- The man who help save a teenager who was brutally attacked near a local high school says he is haunted by what he saw.
The 16-year-old girl escaped her attacker Tuesday night by pretending to be dead.
Joseph Grass says he was on a date at a Cinemark in northwest Harris County when he saw the teenage girl who had walked a half mile after being sexually assaulted.
The attacker is still out there.
I think God puts us in specific places for reasons, said Grass.
The image of what he saw in the parking lot is engrained in his memory.
It looked like she was wearing a red dress; she was bleeding badly from her head, he said. We were just trying to make sure the bleeding was slowing down because she was really in bad shape.
Grass wanted to conceal his face as he recalled Tuesday night s encounter.
In front of Grass and his girlfriend stood a 16-year-old girl who was not wearing any clothes and begging for help.
She was so disoriented. She kept saying I need help. I need help. I need help. She kept saying it over and over again, Grass said.
The Cypress Woods High School student had been walking along Spring Cypress Road when a man knocked her to the ground.
Investigators say he dragged her into a nearby wooded area where he raped her and attacked her with a weapon similar to a hatchet.
It coughs up a visceral reaction to the pit of my stomach to think that someone could do this to anybody, but just a young girl like that with such violence and hatred -- I don t understand it.
Grass says his first instinct was to dial 911. Then, he and his girlfriend kept the teenager conscious until paramedics arrived.
As they helped the girl, one woman believes she might ve seen the attacker at a nearby Randalls grocery store.
His knuckles were bloody. Not overly bloody, but you could tell he d been in a scuffle, said Michelle, a Crime Stoppers caller. The cashier pointed it out. I think he s hiding out I don t know what his deal is.
Michelle says she called Crime Stoppers after putting two and two together.
This is sad and scary and we really need to stick together in this community and take care of each other, said Michelle.
While their hearts go out to the girl who was viciously attacked during an evening walk, they re also thinking about the man who could strike again.
I would not be empathetic if the worst of the worst happened to him, said Grass. If they catch him, I don t think he deserves to rot in jail; I think he deserves far worse than that.
The teen was attacked near Cy Woods High School.. The Cy-Fair School District says they ve beefed up security at that school and at a neighboring junior high school.
At last check, the 16-year-old victim was listed in critical, but stable condition.

Tour guide Javier was very informative, took us to a great place for food and was very friendly. Had a great time would recommend to others
The beach was nice and the rainforest was such a beautiful experience.
There is no better way to take a tour than with a local guide to whom you can ask question after question--about anything!
A rewarding excursion away from the city of San Juan.
This is the second time I have been on this tour and I reccomend it for anyone staying in San Juan for vacation. Tour guide was excellent and allowed us to spend extra time in the rainforest. Our trip was well worth the money.
Great Tour guide who was chock full of information that truly enhanced the tour. Would and will do another tour using this site!
amaing places ! rainforest that takes your breath away, landscapes and perfect views. The beach was ok , i bet u can find better ones in Puerto Rico, though.
We enjoyed the beauty of El Yunque but wish the tour allowed time to see the 15 minute film at the visitor center. It alternates in Spanish and English, so a 30 minute stop would be better to allow time for exhibits, restrooms and film. Guide should explain this option. The local lunch stop was interesting and we very much enjoyed the two hours at Luquillo Beach. Nice swimming and sunning. The guide could have explained the location of changing/restrooms and fees so we knew how to proceed more efficiently.
Overall it was a fun day. Ricky had a sense of humor but we had trouble understanding his English and thus he was less informative than other guides we have encountered.
Ricky Ricardo was a great tour guide! The El Yunque rainforest was nice. Luquillo Beach was very quiet (Friday) but the dismaying part is it's all littered with trash. Why do locals trash their own beautiful paradise?
The beach is really nice but personally, I'd like to have more time for the rain forest. Maybe, it would be good to add one hour to the tour for a better acquaintance with the forest.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable of history, flora and fauna. The Rainforest portion of the trip was our favorite. Remember to pack ponchos, snack and gatorade.
Our guide was great. I would've liked a longer hike in the rainforest but everything we did was awesome.
It was a nice day
I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the rain forest. It was so pretty to look out at everything from the observation tower and go to la coco falls. Luquillo beach was also very beautiful. I think the company tried very hard to make it an enjoyable experience for everyone because even though our bus had technical difficulties they were able to keep the show on the road. Next time I would actually want to try walking La Mina Falls trail and if that could be an added option I think that would be cool!
Jamie S
We ended up on the half day rainforest tour, but I would say it's a great introduction to a beautiful place! Would have loved to spend more time there, but I suppose that's always the case with places I go. If you're looking for a nice tour that will show you around, but isn't too strenuous, then this is for you. Don't expect a lot of hiking!
Ferrell Travis T
Would have given it a higher rating except for two things. First, this particular trip was canceled, thus I opted for the half-day rainforest tour alone. Second, I waited for the driver ten minutes prior to pick-up and we missed one another as I was at the other end of the block, despite of my repeated calls to the telephone number given. This number finally did answer some thirty minutes later and there seemed to be some confusion as to whether the driver would or would not return to pick me up at a specified location. The drive did return to retrieve me an hour after said time. Nonetheless, he was an excellent guide and I am very glad to have been on his excursion. There just seems to be a problem with specific instructions as to the meeting point, as well as communications on a Sunday morning.
Brendell C
This was a fun tour! El Yunque Rainforest was awesome and the waterfalls and tower were a pleasant surprise to see. It was so beautiful to look across at the other islands from the tower. The tour bus driver was helpful and informative. He went with us on our trail and wanted us to learn all types of things about the trees and bushes. He pointed out several unique things about the rainforest. Luquillo Beach was also pretty. Several people were there just enjoying the water and beautiful weather. There was even an attendant present that would rent lounge chairs and umbrellas. The gift shop was cute and quaint. The concession stands had a variety of food to choose from. Some of the items were pricey. I thought seeing people selling concessions from rolling carts was neat. The locker area, dressing rooms, showers, and restroom areas could be cleaner for tourists. The only drawback was that our tour bus broke down. Then we were at the mercy of other drivers to get us to our destinations. I wish that the company had a standby person to work in emergency situations. However, it did not stop us from having a great time.
Sowmya P
We had a great time. Our guide/driver arrived on time and had a nice cheerful attitude. His knowledge about the area's flora and fauna was exceptional. His lively and patient manner made our trip all the more enjoyable. Did not like the beach so much - tangle of seaweed as we entered the water. El Yunque was great!
Patrick T
Our guide was great. Very pleasant, knowledgeable and a good, safe driver as well. I'm certainly glad I went with him rather than try to do it on my own. El Yunque was great. I was a bit disappointed with Luquillo, though. There was only one food concession open, and all they had was a limited selection of fried foods. Then again, I"m not a big beach person. Nevertheless, a good excursion and well worth doing. Thank you.
Earl M
Due to the rain we were unable to get to Luquillo Beach but we really enjoyed the rain forest...and boy did it rain.
Anthony B
Pick up times were a little off. Driver was late. But well worth the trip.
Monica M
It was raining in the rainforest so bring an umbrella. Luquillo beach is nice. At the beach rent beach chairs for 5 each. It cost 1 for a locker, shower and restroom area.
Paul O
The trip to El Yunque was long, but our driver was a great tour guide and provided many interesting facts about the rain forest and Puerto Rico. We spent about 1 hour walking around the forest at several locations. This was plenty for us, if you want longer you need another tour. We ate at Luquillo Beach and most of the food was dried out. It was a beautiful day on the beach and we enjoyed the whole day. The trip was well worth the price and our tour guide was very helpful, especially guiding us up the rocks to the waterfall to take pictures.
if you want to relax but still feel like doing something, this is an easy tour.
Susan R
It was alright. The rain forest tour could have been better. We would have liked to have seen more but, only had a few minutes at each spot right off the road. Would have liked to have seen waterfalls. It was a long tour and it would have been nice if they offered bottled water because if the heat.

Seattle Mariners 2B prospect Dustin Ackley went 2-3 with his 8th double of the season raising his season average to a disappointing .216.
Our Instinct: I'm sticking with my preseason ranking on Ackley. I noted that he was going to be learning a new position at 2B and the struggles at the plate could very well be connected. He is not showing the same plate discipline that was expected of him and thus the struggles haven't subsided. Once he is comfortable at 2B I think the plate approach will come back and the elite hitter will reemerge. Anyone expecting elite power because he played 1B in college wasn't paying attention. He's not a 1B prospect.

Nintendo to introduce console for emerging markets as early as 2015
Published on May 8, 2014 4:55 PM
TOKYO (REUTERS) - Nintendo Co Ltd plans to introduce a new kind of games console and software for emerging markets as early as next year, to capitalise on higher entertainment budgets amidst a growing middle class, its chief executive told Reuters on Thursday.
Mr Satoru Iwata said Nintendo would develop hardware and games oriented towards consumers with lower incomes and less gaming experience than those in developed countries. Nintendo is searching for new business opportunities as it buckles down and seeks to stem losses on its latest home game console, the Wii U, whose flop has contrasted with blockbuster sales for rival Sony Corp's Playstation 4.
Mr Iwata said there were no plans to launch existing hardware such as the Wii U or 3DS in emerging markets, including China.
"It would be difficult to enter those markets if we didn't create something new... For the mass market you need to provide something that most of the middle class can afford," he said in an interview following an analyst briefing on Thursday.

The intake at children's tennis camps is increasing each year
Amidst shrinking lung space and dwindling playgrounds, parents now scout around for sports camps to keep their children occupied productively during the long summer break.
Though cricket and swimming remain evergreen favourites, another sport is growing rapidly in popularity within private sport academies: tennis. Parents feel that tennis, being an individual sport, holds more promise than cricket, and is good for all-round fitness.
"There has been a good response this summer," says Shashikanth Kanbargimath, director of the KIMS Tennis Academy. KIMS conducts summer camps for beginners, intermediate and advanced players at Cox Town and venues in Banaswadi, Domlur and Mahila Seva Samaja (in V.V. Puram).
Krishnakumar of Kinessi Tennis Centre also reports a 40 per cent jump in the intake of tennis trainees. This technocrat-turned-USPTR coach attributes this trend to the demand for scientific and professional coaching.
Tennis Excellence on Hennur Road, run by young players-turned-coaches, Arjun Goutham, Aditya Madkekar and Divyanshu Singh, has also see an appreciable increase.
"We had more girls joining this time. Besides coaching the beginners, we also conduct regular programmes for 20 players who participate in the AITA junior circuit," says Divyanshu.
The trainees, besides honing their skills in the game, also get tips from a mind trainer, nutrition experts and get topnotch medical care for possible sports-related injuries.
Flip side
On the flip side, the growth of private academies seems to have had an adverse impact on the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA) summer camp, as the number of trainees have come down from 80 last year to 60 today.
"With camps in their neighbourhood, parents prefer to put the kids in nearby centres rather than come all the way to KSLTA," says chief coach Niranjan Ramesh. KSLTA camps are held at its stadium in Cubbon Park and at Sree Kanteerava Stadium courts.
While the growth in tennis camps are indeed a positive development, the KSLTA would do well to regulate them and ensure that only camps run by reputed academies and trained coaches are recognised.
Keywords: AITA, Cubbon Park

KADAPA: Some four hundred families of the CPI followers at Bahujan Nagar here, joined the Congress on Friday.
Kadapa MLA Mohd. Ahmedullah, District Congress Committee president K. Suresh Babu, and Mayor P. Ravindranath Reddy admitted Venkatesh and others who were expelled from the CPI into the Congress fold.
Addressing a meeting at Bahujan Nagar, Mr. Suresh Babu called upon the people not to be misled by the Telugu Desam president N. Chandrababu Naidu's impractical promises, like cash transfer scheme and colour televisions . TDP has been canvassing through film actors Balakrishna and NTR junior to fool people, he alleged.
Public's future would be bleak if they vote for the Grand Alliance partners, Mr. Suresh Babu cautioned. Praja Rajyam was being deserted by the senior leaders and it was proved that its 'social justice' slogan was farcical.
Mr. Ravindranath Reddy appealed to the people to re-elect the Congress for another term, as his Government strived for the welfare of the poor.
Mr. Ahmedullah also spoke.

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/20/14
By Jeremy Hritz Last week, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger had what was described as a minor procedure done on his right knee. This sent a wave of anxiety through Steelers Nation and stirred discussion about Roethlisberger's remaining time in the NFL. Specifically, on Sirius XM Radio on Ross Tucker's The Opening Drive, the topic of discussion was how may productive years does Roethlisberger have left?, with Tucker adamantly pointing out that Roethlisberger had played 16 games in only one of his nine seasons. He went on to say that Roethlisberger's style of play will Read more [...]

South Korea, Australia sign $5.7b currency swap deal
Published on Feb 23, 2014 1:58 PM
SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea and Australia signed on Sunday a currency swap deal worth US$4.5 billion (S$5.7 billion), Seoul's central bank said, in a move to boost trades and help curb currency swings.
The deal - signed by the countries' central bank governors - allows the two nations to purchase and repurchase each other's currency of up to 5 trillion won (S$5.9 billion), the central Bank of Korea said in a statement.
The three-year deal, which is renewable upon agreement, will allow greater flexibility for businesses to use local currencies for trade that have been commonly settled in US dollars, the statement said.
"The agreement is designed to promote bilateral trade for the economic development of the two countries," it added.

Mélat - Daphne
Artist: Mélat
Producer: Pha the Phenom
Album: Canon Ourania: The Illumination EP
Avg Rating: 4.5 ( 8 votes )
On her last feature, July's Wishing Well, alt-R&B up-and-comer Mélat departed from the catchy, energetic style of her Booth debut to craft a quiet ballad suffused with romantic longing. The Austin-based singer's latest EP single, Daphne, continues down the latter path, but features a menacing overtone not present in its predecessor. Producer Pha the Phenom's ominous strings and synths set the mood as Mélat tells the story of a woman whose headstrong behavior ultimately cost her her soul. Her lyrics are often cryptic, but her expressive vocals drive home the record's haunting vibe. Feeling it? Then stay tuned; Canon Ourania: The Illumination currently lacks a drop date, but we'll keep you posted on the project as further details emerge.

RG3 doesn't 'worry' about leg anymore
RICHMOND, Va. (AP)
During a 7-on-7 drill in shorts at Washington Redskins training camp, Robert Griffin III rolled left and couldn't find an open receiver. He started to scramble, saw a lane and ran for 15 yards.
- Steelers WR Burress out for season
- Season over for injured Saints duo
- Packers LT Bulaga opts for surgery
- Second Eagles wideout tears ACL
- Chargers WR Alexander tears ACL
- 49ers CB Culliver tears ACL
- Seahawks' Harvin needs surgery
- Eagles WR Maclin tears ACL
- Ravens TE Pitta out for season
- Photos: NFL major injuries
Then he hit the turf, with typical RG3 flair. He performed a half-speed slide and rolled over to protect the ball.
The crowd went wild. It was perhaps the biggest cheer he's heard for any play yet during camp.
''I just thought everybody would love it if I just slid in practice for once,'' Griffin said. ''And I went ahead and did that. I find it easier to slide in football pants than shorts. It was a little harder, but I slid and everybody liked it.''
Even coach Mike Shanahan laughed.
''I thought it was good. ... It's got to become automatic,'' Shanahan said. ''No matter what you do, there has got to be an emphasis there. The player's got to believe in it. They have got to think it. If you use it do it in practice, it happens in games.''
It's an odd sight when people drive hundreds of miles to holler for their favorite player to take it easy, but many in the crowd at camp are content to sit back and watch Griffin sit back and watch, yelling things like: ''RG3, take care of that knee'' and ''We don't need you to play in preseason.'' They naturally cheer when he does get to throw, but they already know he can do that. They're still waiting for him to master the slide.
Griffin has been kept out of the main 11-on-11 drills during the first few days of camp in the homestretch of his recovery from reconstructive right knee surgery. Protecting the knee is more important that perfecting the fade route, even if the quarterback is chomping at the bit to accelerate the process.
WHO SETS THE CURVE?Check out the FOXiest fans from stadiums across the country and tweet us your photo.
''It's not easy to sit around and watch,'' Griffin said Monday. ''I call it `Operation Patience.'"
Griffin said he has ''no pain'' and ''no swelling'' in his right knee. He says he can plant on the leg the way he did before he first injured it last season. He said he's always forgetting to put on his brace, which he is supposed to wear during practices and games all season.
''I don't really worry about my leg anymore,'' he said. ''I just play football.''
To that end, Griffin feels he's ready to do more than he is allowed. During the portions of practice devoted to special teams, he goes to a separate field and runs through a scaled-down version of the plays he missed during the 11-on-11s. He said he did get a ''little bump-up'' in work during Monday morning's walkthrough, but he won't join the 11-on-11 drills in the main practice until next week at the earliest.
''I feel like I'm ready for that - but we're being real cautious right now and taking it slow,'' Griffin said. ''That's what Coach wants to do.''

|I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the two routes you mentioned are pretty much the only ones to the top if you don't count minor variations. Up the front face is doable, but the rock quality is very poor and when I was surveying the rock for a route to climb, I could find no decent crack systems for protection or areas where the rock wasn't falling apart.
So I'd be willing to bet unless somebody goes up there and bolts and/or does some serious cleaning, it won't have any new routes anytime soon.
Edit: Late in 2011, I soloed up the NW shoulder just to climbers right of a large chimney/gash up the shoulder. It was about 300' I think and mostly class 4. Terrible rock for the most part, loose pebble-y crap over slab stuff and shattered rock. It was fun in sort of an adventurous way. Definitely more interesting than the short chimney or face up the back. I probably will never repeat the route however.

If you didn't catch this show on its original run OR want to relive its charm from the beginning, Netflix has given you the perfect opportunity to do just that, as they are now offering the entire series.
A med school student turns into a zombie and works in a Coronor's Office so she can eat the free brains to survive. Did we mention this is from the creator of Veronica Mars?
