METAIRIE, La. ― Starting right cornerback Tracy Porter had arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after tearing the lateral meniscus late in Sunday's 16-14 win against Carolina.
Head Coach Sean Payton said the best estimate for Porter's return would be 3-4 weeks.
In all, 19 players were listed on Wednesday's practice injury report, including four players who didn't practice, three who were limited and 12 who were full. The Saints play at Arizona on Sunday at 3:05 p.m.
In addition to Porter, running back Pierre Thomas (ankle), defensive end Will Smith (groin) and running back Reggie Bush (fibula) did not practice.
Thomas was progressing, Payton said, adding that 'the swelling has gone down. If I were to elaborate, I'd say we feel good about his progress.'
Smith's injury was new, but no other news was available on it.
Safeties Roman Harper (hamstring) and Pierson Prioleau (chest) along with tight end Jeremy Shockey (knee) were limited.
Receiver Marques Colston (rib); tackles Jon Stinchcomb (shoulder) and Zach Strief (knee); running back Chris Ivory (knee); defensive backs Leigh Torrence (toe), Usama Young (quad) and Randall Gay (foot); linebackers Stanley Arnoux (ankle) and Anthony Waters (hamstring); tight end Jimmy Graham (ankle); and defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson (knee) all were full.
The Saints had never had more than nine players on an injury report and when asked why suddenly it jumped to 19, Payton said it was procedural.
'We're just trying to be more thorough,' Payton said. 'We want to make sure we list the appropriate guys.'
For Arizona, linebacker Paris Lenon (pelvis) was limited while receiver Steve Breaston (knee), Early Doucet (groin), defensive end Kenny Iwebema (knee) and safety Matt Ware (ankle) did not practice.

SYDNEY - Manly have moved to the outright lead at the top of the NRL ladder with a 24-16 win over Sydney Roosters at Brookvale Oval on Friday night.
In a gripping grand-final rematch, a Peta Hiku try in the 78th minute sealed the win for the home side, with Jamie Lyon's conversion putting the Sea Eagles out to an unassailable eight-point lead.
After trailing 10-0 early, the Roosters fought their way back into the contest and should have tied the scores at 18-all in the 68th minute after a Mitchell Pearce try, but James Maloney's went conversion wide.
A desperate Roosters attempted a short drop-out minutes from time, which Manly gathered before Hiku crossed for his second of the night.
Brett Stewart was instrumental in the win, Manly's 10th of the season, before a crowd 17,155, which puts them two points clear of Penrith who travel to Auckland today to meet the Warriors.
Manly burst out to an early 10-0 lead after 18 minutes following two great sweeping backline plays created tries for Hiku in the 14th minute and Jorge Taufua four minutes later
In a high-quality game, a Sonny Bill Williams short ball put Shaun Kenny-Dowall over in the 23rd minute.
A converted try to Boyd Cordner, in just his second his second touch after six weeks out with an ankle injury, from a Mitchell Pearce short ball put the Roosters ahead, in the 25th minute after James Maloney's conversion.
A Jamie Lyon penalty goal on the stroke on halftime brought a 12-all scoreline at the break.
A superb set play put Brett Stewart over in the 52nd minute to give Manly an 18-12, lead before a Frank Paul Nuuausala break 12 minutes from fulltime put Pearce in the clear.
The Roosters halfback outsprinted Stewart to score. But Maloney's conversion miss proved costly as they play catch-up football before Hiku's final try.
Manly interchange forward James Hasson left the field with concussion in the 34th minute and didn't return.

LPA enters Philippines
More News from Frances Mangosing
MANILA, Philippines—A low pressure area monitored by the state weather bureau entered the Philippine territory Thursday, bringing in rains in parts of the country.
The potential cyclone, seen to trigger the start of rainy season if it intensifies, was last seen 580 kilometers east of Hinatuan, Surigao Del Sur and was embbeded along the inter-tropical convergence zone as of 8 a.m., the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
The potential storm will be called "Dante" should it strengthen into a cyclone.
These weather systems will affect Bicol Region, Visayas and Mindanao.
The whole Mindanao will experience cloudy skies with moderate to heavy rains and thunderstorms which may trigger flashfloods and landslides, Pagasa said.

Can slime get any slimier than distorting and selectively editing comments from victims of Islamic terrorism? But that's what the National Jewish Democratic Council, think Debbie Wasserman Schultz with more swarm, did to Israeli victims of terror in their neverending effort to con American Jews into believing that Obama is pro-Israel.
On August 15 of last month, the National Jewish Democratic Council released a video and accompanying press release titled "What Do Israelis Think of President Obama?"
– One participant, Sasson Sara, was emphatic: "I do not support [Obama]." Sara claims the video omitted several words he spoke, thus giving his statement the appearance of conveying the exact opposite message Sara had intended.
The video shows Sara saying in Hebrew: "Sderot is important to him. The Jewish people are important to him. The state of Israel is important to him."
Sasson claims he actually spoke the following in Hebrew: "If Sderot is important to him, the Jewish people are important to him, the state of Israel is important to him, then Obama should do more about Iran."
– Another participant, Pinchas Ammar, told Farer that he does not support Obama and thinks Obama is not pro-Israel and does not understand Israel's problems in the least. He was not happy to find himself in a film promoting Obama's re-election.
But that's okay. According to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, none of this ever happened. She has never heard of Israel, but is sure that Obama is the most Pro-Israel President since Jimmy Carter.} add_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'single_sub' ); function single_sub() { ?>

Congress in a Wordle
Dysfunctional. Corrupt. Selfish. It's not hard to guess what these words are describing. Examine a word cloud to see what the public thinks of Congress.
Public's Economic Woes Persist
Americans don't favor the current health care reform legislation, but most opponents prefer a new bill to no bill and more see their health care costs rising without reform than with it. Nearly everyone gives the national economy a negative rating; 70% of Americans say they have faced one or more job or financial-related problems in the past year
Census: Growing Awareness, Most Ready For Forms
Those with lower levels of income and education remain significantly less likely than others to say they will take part in the census. All partisans want to participate, but Democrats are more likely than independents or Republicans to say the census will benefit their community.
Midterm Election Challenges for Both Parties
Opinions of the Republican Party have improved significantly but still far more people blame the GOP for the poor economy than blame the Democrats. Anti-incumbent sentiment runs high: three-in-ten don't want to see their current representative reelected. Financial institutions remain a major target of public anger.
Public Knowledge: Senate Legislative Process a Mystery to Many
In the latest Pew Research News IQ Quiz, Americans answered on average fewer than six out of 12 questions correctly. The public struggled with most of the political questions, and despite expressing strong interest in the health care debate, few know how many votes it takes to break a filibuster or how many GOP votes the bill got in the Senate.
It's All About Jobs, Except When It's Not
A look at the connection between the rise and fall of joblessness and the political fortunes of past presidents in the modern era is instructive although the lessons to be drawn are far from crystal clear. Thus far, only Ronald Reagan's ratings in his first term have borne as close a connection as have Obama's to changes in the unemployment rate.
Most View Census Positively, But Some Have Doubts
Most Americans think the census is very important and say they will definitely participate, but there are partisan as well as racial and ethnic differences in opinions about the values of the census and in personal willingness to participate.
Obama Image Unscathed By Terrorism Controversy
The government's ratings for reducing the threat of terrorism have slipped, and Americans are increasingly more concerned with safety than civil liberties. Domestically, few see an upside to health care reform, and the national mood remains grim. Yet President Obama's political standing is little affected, and his personal image remains positive.

Where do you begin in m-commerce? With the iPhone.
I'd been waiting two weeks, and yesterday an e-mail popped in my inbox with that wonderful line. And now I've got it in the palm of my hands, my iPhone 4. I'm waiting a couple hours for a pal with an iPhone 4 on the West Coast to wake up so I can do my first-ever video call. I've been waiting to do that since I was a kid watching "Star Trek" and "The Jetsons." It's finally the Space Age!
Count on this: There are millions more like me, iPhone loyalists who are drooling over the new features and functions and would never consider another smartphone. Apple sold 3 million units of the iPhone 4 in the first 23 days—in revenue terms the biggest consumer electronics product introduction ever—and there are countless consumers on Apple's long waiting list as it cannot keep up with the demand for the new device.
One thing you as a retailer need to know is that iPhone owners make greater use of the mobile web and apps than any other mobile phone users. And today I reported on a new study that reveals a fascinating and extremely important statistic: iPhone owners are nearly three times more likely than smartphone owners overall to shop via their device and more than five times more likely than mobile phone owners overall, according to Yankee Group Research Inc.
Why is this important? Because when jumping into m-commerce you have to pick a place to start, and clearly that place to start is the iPhone. When optimizing your e-commerce site into a mobile version, make sure it's first and foremost ready to be well-rendered on an iPhone. And if you're considering building a mobile app, you build for the iPhone first. (Then probably Android, if the current trends among smartphone sales and app development hold, which is likely.)
Mind you, when building a mobile commerce site, you want to optimize for as many phones as possible, all the various stripes of smartphones (especially) and conventional phones (not as important). And there are vendors out there with massive databases of phone specs that work with their m-commerce platforms to automatically optimize for virtually any mobile phone.
But when it comes to smartphones, remember, the iPhone is king. There may be phones out there with greater features or functions, but none of them boast a user base with such zeal and loyalty—the kinds of users retailers most need to target.

4320p and 22.2 surround
Although high-definition formats HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc are the bleeding edge of technology in the current consumer market, a new technology from Japan makes the latest HD movies specifications look simply archaic. Last week, engineers at NHK's (Nippon Hoso Kyokai) Science and Technical Research Laboratories demonstrated Super Hi-Vision technology capable of a 7680x4320 resolution, reports IDG.
At 7680x4320, over 33 million pixels make up the image this represents 16 times the resolution of a 1080p image. To get a picture of the bump in resolution, a Super Hi-Vision image could be approximated by tiling 16 of todays best HDTVs together. In comparison, a 1080p picture represents a six-fold jump in resolution over standard-definition television.
Unlike current HD cameras, which are hitting the hands of consumers, the Super Hi-Vision camera sensors are not yet able to capture a full color picture. The latest prototype Super Hi-Vision sensor is monochrome, but NHK plans to incorporate three sensors one for each primary color in order to capture color images. The prototype is super-fast too, able to capture data at a rate of 4,000 frames per second.
NHK is also working on a sound system to complement the improved image. While todays best home theaters have 7.1 setups, the audio component paired with Super Hi-Vision is 22.2.
Can't wait to wire up a 22.2 surround system.

Report: Illegal immigrants having more kids in US
Children of illegal immigrants hold a delicate place in the U.S. On the one hand, the Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that these children – whether they were U.S. citizens or not – were entitled to a public school education. California and a few other states also provide some college tuition breaks to illegal immigrants.
At the same time, the immigrants and their families are among the poorest people in the U.S., easily exploited by employers and subject to arrest at any time. Children who are U.S. citizens cannot petition for their parents to become legal U.S. residents until they are at least 21.
Earlier this year, the Homeland Security Department's inspector general found that more than 100,000 parents of U.S. citizens were deported over the decade ending in 2007, prompting the department to say it would gather more information about families before deporting immigrants.
The Pew analysis is based on census data through March 2008. Because the Census Bureau does not ask people about their immigration status, the estimate on illegal immigrants is derived largely by subtracting the estimated legal immigrant population from the total foreign-born population.

What can I do if my husband won't help with the baby or the housework?
I'm grateful that I can stay home with our 6-month-old, but my husband doesn't realize that while his job is Monday through Friday, mine is seven days a week. It's like pulling teeth to get him to watch our 6-month-old for half an hour so I can take a shower or just get a breather. He won't change a diaper unless I ask, and then he gives me a hard time about it. The same goes for feedings or even giving the baby attention. I can't get him to clean, cook, or help with the laundry either. I'm exhausted and I never have time for myself. What can I do?

sometimes it's hard for someone who has never cared for a child full time to understand the hardship of it. it's not an easy job...it's not even a hard job..it's a forever job and when you stay at home it's an always job that will never go away. it will always be ask mom first and dad only where mom is. but try and get him to do a day of your work. in the mean time..... see if family or friends will help take some of the burden off. maybe once and a while they can take the baby so you can catch up on reading...or showers (trust me i have been there twice!) sometimes it's hard to make other walk in your shoes.posted 11/30/2013 by OneProudMomma2013
I'm afraid that my husband will be that way (he has a bit of a drinking problem. Says he will quit but only time will tell). If so I wont tolerate it, I'll talk to him about it and express my feelings and needs and how we are a TEAM. And if he continues to be a drag I will go stay with his Mother and get my help and support from her. We have already had talks about it. I suggest you do something along those lines.. In my mind- leaving might snap him into reality and make him realize we not just whiny women but a human, the mother of his child, and his wife. And that we need that compassion, understanding and attention too. Yanno? If you can afford it- hire a 'babysitter' or some extra help if you don't want to go to extreme. I just don't feel any woman deserves to do all the work as a 'single mother' when you're a married woman. He wasn't complaining when he was making the baby- so why complain now? Much prayers!! I hope the problem gets solved!! Good luck!!posted 10/21/2013 by Ninja2014
I'm in the same boat. Iv read a few comments from single mothers on her saying at least we have a partner ! No!! I'd actually prefer to be a single mum right now be better than having a winging male wandering through the house complaining about everything you haven't done for the day and not even helping you so u can have a shower ! This might sound gross but I seriously haven't washed my hair in like 3 weeks coz bub has a shower with me so I get out dry her then she screams so I quickly grab the first piece of clothing I can find and chuck that on to go heat up a bottle.. I'm lost and lonely he wanted this baby but I'm the only one caring for her!! I'm starting to think all males are screwed in the head! We own a house I'm still making house repayments wile paying for formula nappies health care etc etc over it so much!! I defiantly feel your pain!! My baby is only 12 weeks old and I'm thinking about leaving him for a few nights to think about how useless he is!!!posted 10/11/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
When you find out let me know! I have a 10 month old who is very active and from the get go my husband has given little help! I had postpartum depression and he agreed to stay with me for a week to help me out but all he did was play video games... he is 30 btw! And that has been my story ever since! Video games and drunken boys nights...While I work part time afternoons he puts the baby in the pack n play and plays his games.... He makes a fuss about helping to feed, hold , change and entertain him even if its only for a few minutes! And I won't even talk about house work or dinners! I've asked for help and I've left the baby with him for the day and nothing has worked! Good luck with your husband!posted 09/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
i had the same problem. what i did is i put my 8 month old baby in a stroller and take him everywhere i go in the house. I take him with me to the kitchen and do dishes or prepare dinner, i make beds and clean rooms wile he is watching. i give him toys or something to snack on while i m busy so that he doesn't get bored. i even take him with me to the bathroom to take a quick shower and play pick-a-boo with him behind the shower curtain. he likes it.and then i do the rest of the chores when he is sleeping.he recently started crawling so he follows me everywhere i go and keeps playing next to me. so sometimes i use the stroller and sometimes i let him crawl. every now and then i carry him and walk around. so i'd suggest to try the stroller and stop depending on men because they re useless and it ll only make you mad to argue with him everytime you ask him to watch the baby.posted 06/18/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
I'm a stay at home mom also and my husband was the same way. after a month of feeling unappreciated i decided to nip it in the bud. Baby's crying because of a dirty diaper?? Hand him the baby and say, i need a shower. Need a second to yourself? Here husband, its your turn! And if he dares to give a petty dad excuse of why he's too busy? Let him know! So are you. Its always sh**s and giggles when baby gets difficult and mom comes to the rescue. He needs to deal with her when he has no one to help. Once he realizes he cant get anything done when he wants, hopefully he'll get a better understanding of what your day must be like.posted 06/11/2013 by sarinajohnson
I'm in the same boat to a certain degree. It's sad that men feel like what we do in the house is just sit around and watch tv and do nothing. Then they go out and work and feel like we as mothers and house wives aren't deserving of the money they bring into the house. It's also sad that you have to ask them to help you around the home and when you do, they talk about how hard they've worked and shouldn't have to come home and clean or cook, etc... Like what we do at home isn't work. Like someone posted earlier, our work is 24 hours a day 7 days week 365 days in the year. Heck, I couldn't even get extra help after being diagnosed with cancer. Do I really need to ASK you for help? You should be offering to help with kids, house work, and everything else. I hope to teach my son how to be a better man and a better husband.posted 06/11/2013 by Love2BeAtHome
I have NO good advice for you. I've been married to my husband for 15 years, we have 4 boys from 16yrs to17 months. His attitude is the very same as your husbands. Lately he's even gone a step further and said that if I had a job we'd have more money and he's resentful for me not working. He has NO CLUE what it takes to be a SAHM or how hard the 24-7 365 life is. There are NO lunch breaks, no vacations, no quiet trips home in the car, none of that. I've tried to show and teach my husband several different times over the years both nicely and not so nicely. Nothing has changed his mind that his job is in need of it's rightful partner or any relief. I have decided that my husband's broken brain had to come from some essential bad parenting on his folks part and a seriously sexist mindset. I can tell you what when I need a break and he's home I don't ask I just tell him and quickly walk out the door. He fends fine on his own, he's just unwilling to try. good luck to you.posted 06/07/2013 by 4Soldiers'boys
I too offer tissue and ask What were you thinking when you married your 'sperm donor?' I suggest when baby next sleeps, grab a pencil & paper and write out a routine [ 'Flylady' on You Tube]. Breakdown your day into 20 minute segments. Give your one assignment each day like: MON: laundry [wash/dry/put away] & bthrms, TUE: pay bills/desk day, WED: cook/bake, THURS: plan menu, groc list/need to buy list, FRI: change out sheets/towels/clean mirrors/bthrms, SAT: wash cupboard doors, floors, dust furniture,Swiffer/vacuum, SUN: family day for example. DAILY: 9:00 PM. Eliminate The Evidence [ETE] set timer for 15 minutes DASH & STASH clearing flat surfaces, put away STUFF In living/dining rm, kitchen. WRITEi out 'BEFORE BED' routine, set out clothes for AM, drop clothes in laundry hamper, pickup M/Brm, personal hygiene. AM routine: dress, make bed, baby care, make coffee, get dinner started, do routine in 15 minute segments, take a 15 minute break between segments;enjoy babyposted 09/22/2012 by honour25
My husband used to think me staying at home with the kids was vacation until he lost his job a year ago and I had to step up to go to work. Once I became the bread winner and he was at home with the kids all day, he then realized that it was no walk in the park. He has been so appreciative since then, now he helps me out around the house and with the kids and can't wait for me to get home so he can take a break. Maybe he needs to walk in your shoes for a while, I bet he'll change then.posted 09/02/2012 by margdeb92

Big win for daley it also helps validate shields win over him.
Paul "Semtex" Daley used his superior striking and great takedown defence to nullify John Alessio ground game tonight at MFC 19 in Alberta, Canada. Here are the rest of the cards results:
Aron Lofton (4-1) defeats Jason Kuchera (3-3) by Submission (Guillotine Choke) at 0:44 of Round 1
Josh Russell (2-0) defeats Colby Snyder (5-2-0) by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 1:44 of Round 1
Ryan Machan (7-2) defeats Mike Sorenson (4-2) by Submission (Rear Naked Choke) at 4:54 of Round 1
Kyle Sandford (7-1) defeats Joey Gorczynski (12-4) by Split Decision (3 x 29-28)
Derrick Noble (23-11-1) defeats Ariel Sexton (5-2) by Submission (Guillotine Choke) at 1:30 of Round 2
Paul Daley (19-7-2) defeats John Alessio (24-12) by TKO (Strikes) at 2:18 of Round 2
Emanuel Newton (11-3-1) defeats Champion Roger Hollett (8-2) by Unanimouse Decision
Big win for daley it also helps validate shields win over him.
true zalbag i think both daley and shields are great fighters. i wonder where they'll end.
i think you can look at it a few ways. For Shields he said he wanted to unify ww titles so he should back up his word and come to the ufc. However he could go to affliction and rule that ww weight class right away. Daley is a good young fighter who should pick up steam and eventually end up in the UFC or affliction and most likely one day a rematch between him and Shields will be a highly touted match.

C'est Dur d'Etre Aimé Par des Cons (It's Hard to Be Loved By Morons): A Look Back at Charlie HebdoBy Dimitri Keramitas
Last Updated ( Sunday, 08 February 2015 )
Daniel Leconte's documentary about the trial of Charlie Hebdo for disseminating racial hatred was made in 2008 (a year after the trial), but was re-released after the terrorist attacks which decimated its editorial staff. Both the trial and the attacks stemmed from caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed that the satirical newspaper ran on its cover.
Le Père Noël (Father Christmas): Ho! Ho! Humbug!By Dimitri Keramitas
It's always interesting when French filmmakers venture into Hollywood genres, not to subvert them like the New Wave directors, but to give them a French spin (and hope for American-style box office).Last Updated ( Tuesday, 30 December 2014 )
Adieu au Langage (Goodbye to Language) : Not Your Parents' 3DBy Dimitri Keramitas
Jean-Luc Godard has been making films his own way for about 60 years, ever since Une Histoire d'Eau (A Story of Water), the documentary short he co-filmed with François Truffaut, and then the ground-breaking feature Breathless.Last Updated ( Monday, 24 November 2014 )
Mommy: A French-Canadian Prodigy Takes Paris by StormBy Dimitri Keramitas
Director Xavier Dolan is considered a prodigy in France. At 25-years-old and with several Cannes prizes already under his belt, he's being hailed as the French-Canadian Orson Welles. His new film, Mommy, has had a rapturous critical reception, and the Parisian public is flocking to this harrowing (and long) film. And Mommy is definitely worth seeing.Last Updated ( Friday, 24 October 2014 )
Gemma Bovery : Madame Bovary, C'est ElleBy Dimitri Keramitas
Gemma Bovery is lushly filmed but oddly constructed, a movie that tickles your senses while your brain wonders whether it's all a botched cinematic soufflé. It mashes up an update of Flaubert's novel and an English-French encounter à la A Year in Provence.Last Updated ( Wednesday, 01 October 2014 )
Maestro : Be Careful Of What You Don't Wish ForBy Dimitri Keramitas
Maestro is a film you want to like, but almost can't, because it tries too hard. It has a nice, original concept: Henri Renaud, an aspiring young actor who wants more than anything to be a star in conventional movies, instead lands a leading role in the latest opus of a renowned, but very artsy, auteur.Last Updated ( Wednesday, 20 August 2014 )
Bird People : Lost in TransitBy Dimitri Keramitas
Ever since her acclaimed first film Petits arrangements avec les morts, Pascale Ferran has been considered one of the French cinema's most gifted filmmakers, especially interesting for being slightly askew. The idea of her making a film about an American adrift in Paris was tantalizing. Bird People (her first feature since 2006's Lady Chatterly) is more than slightly askew—it's at a vertiginous angle (maybe the perspective of a careening bird).Last Updated ( Saturday, 12 July 2014 )
Film Review: The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet (from the Director of Amelie)By Anne McCarthy
Jean-Pierre Jeunet struck gold with his beloved Parisian film Amelie. The titular protagonist, a whimsical brunette who lives in Montmartre (Audrey Tautou), captured the hearts and minds of audiences and Oscar voters.
Now, the director has done it again in his latest film, The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet. This 3D film features a mixed cast of Anglo and French actors, including Dominique Pinon, Helena Bonham Carter and the film debut of Kyle Catlett. The film is an adaptation of an American novel by Reif Larsen.Last Updated ( Monday, 30 June 2014 )
Deux Jours, Une Nuit (Two Days, One Night): Sixteen Angry WorkersBy Dimitri Keramitas
Now that Ken Loach is getting long in the tooth, the Belgian brothers Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne have become the reigning co-monarchs (or co-commissars) of the European social film. 2011's The Kid with a Bike was a brilliant mix of harsh social observation and sentiment. Their disappointing Deux Jours, Une Nuit (literally Two Days, One Night) may work as an effective tear-jerker (it convinced a jury in Cannes, where it won a special prize) but it's too schematic to be a very good film.Last Updated ( Thursday, 12 June 2014 )
67th Cannes Film Festival - When Film Worlds CollideBy Anne McCarthy
Beginning May 14, the Cannes Film Festival enveloped southern France for twelve days. The festival welcomed a plethora of films, both stinkers and winners. The ones that earned the most praise and recognition were those with unalloyed simplicity.Last Updated ( Monday, 02 June 2014 )

Zomato: Where food lovers meet online
popular .
Filipinos love to go online and they love to eat.
Add the fact that most Filipinos speak English and the result is a very viable market where a website like www.zomato.com, that can help Filipinos decide what new restaurant to try or promotions to avail themselves of, can make a decent profit.
According to Zomato founder and CEO Deepinder Goyal, the company had long wanted to expand to the region from its base in New Delhi, and the Philippines emerged as the logical starting point.
"We have been focusing on increasing our reach beyond India over the last one year and wanted to expand into Southeast Asia, as it is a big market for a product like ours. The choice for our next market launch was between the Philippines and Bangkok. However, we found the Philippines to be a bigger market and since Zomato is currently available only in English, we decided to go with the Philippines first," Goyal tells SundayBiz.
Zomato is reputedly the world's largest online restaurant and nightlife guide and it launched its Metro Manila section on March 21. It was started in July 2008 and has since expanded to 21 cities across India, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka, Qatar, South Africa and the Philippines.
Www.zomato.com is a guide that provides in-depth information on over 95,900 restaurants in countries where it is present. Other features include reviews, ratings and ability follow other users' recommendations in Zomato. Aside from the website and the apps, Zomato is also available in print in some cities in India. It claims a monthly user base of over 15 million and these provide a big enough market to attract advertising revenue.
For Zomato, the Philippine market is big enough to support a specific page.
"When we sent our team to Manila, we noticed that smartphone penetration in the Philippines is very high and given the fact that the Philippines is a very cosmopolitan country that loves to eat, it made for a perfect market for a product like ours. The phenomenal response we received in Manila in just a few months since we launched, has reinstated our belief and our resolve to expand our services further into Southeast Asia in the months to come," says the Mathematics and Computing graduate of IIT Delhi.
"We already have an office in Manila with a staff strength of 10 and will be hiring more in the months to come. We are currently focusing on garnering stellar content on the website, especially user reviews, after which we will work on the print version of Zomato Manila," adds Goyal, who got the idea to put up Zomato when he saw the demand for menu cards among his former colleagues at Bain and Company in New Delhi.
Zomato is bent on constantly improving the content on the website as that is the only reason why people will continue the use the site. And as the number of users increase, the advertising money will increase correspondingly.
"Content is our strongest point. To ensure quality, we collect and curate all our data (apart from reviews and ratings) ourselves, and refresh all of it every three months. All this is accessible to users on a clean and simple interface across mediums, which is our key differentiator and enables users to get what they want in three simple steps. Users can also access Zomato wherever they are—be it online or on their smartphones. Our focus throughout everything is to be a reliable source for the user. Even our social features have been implemented keeping in mind our everyday interactions with friends about places or dishes to eat. All these factors together contribute to the success we have enjoyed so far," says the former management consultant.
To drive people to its website and catch the fleeting attention of netizens, Zomato, which was developed in 2008 out of Goyal's apartment, also invests in below the line marketing such as in-restaurant branding. Being active on social media also helps attract people to the website. It even runs contests and engaging activities such as the #FoodieFriday quiz on Twitter, and the Instagram contest on the website to keep in touch with the users.
"Overall, we make sure our product reaches as many people as possible, without having to spend unreasonable amounts of money. The focus is on building brand loyalty and good word of mouth, which in itself helps bring a lot of people to Zomato," says Goyal, who remains responsible for strategy and product development.
He estimates that over 15 million users visit Zomato just before lunch or dinner to help them decide where to eat or order from.
"This forms a highly targeted platform for players in the food and beverage sector to promote their product. Even though all listings on Zomato are free of charge, advertisements are paid for," he says.
And the work to improve the website never ends.
According to the 30-year-old Goyal, Zomato is always looking to add more features to enhance the experience for the users. And many of these are location-specific as well.
"For example, in Dubai we have added filters for users to find sports bars, or restaurants serving sheesha, as these are very popular there. We are also working on building the website in other languages for more users to be able to access it. Given that our website has also become a social network of sorts for foodies, we are working on adding more features to create a stronger social experience for users who write a lot of reviews," he says.
The work has just begun but Zomato believes that with the success so far, it is on the right track to winning the hearts and clicks of Filipino foodies.

EMC Fourth-Quarter Profit Rises 61% on Storage Demand
Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- EMC Corp., the world's biggest maker of storage computers, reported a 61 percent increase in fourth-quarter profit and predicted full-year earnings topping analysts' estimates as companies upgrade their data centers.
Profit, excluding some costs, rose to 42 cents a share, EMC said today. Analysts estimated 41 cents, the average of projections compiled by Bloomberg. Sales increased 19 percent to $4.89 billion, topping the $4.79 billion average estimate.
Companies are spending more on information technology and investing in new storage computers to hold the increasing amounts of data and manage disaster recovery, according to Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets. New products are helping EMC sell more to the largest corporations, while demand remains stable among mid-sized companies, he said.
"The company's better-than-expected initial guidance range for 2011 on both the top and bottom line is a positive indicator for EMC as well as in improving IT spending environment," Ives said in a note to clients today. Ives is based in New York and rates the stock "outperform."
EMC rose 56 cents to $24.39 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares climbed 31 percent last year.
Full-Year Earnings
The company, based in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, said full-year sales will be $19.6 billion and profit, excluding some items, will be $1.46 a share. Analysts on average estimate full-year profit of $1.45 and sales of $19 billion.
"The market is primed and ready and we have the right assets to help our customers," Chief Financial Officer David Goulden said on a conference call with analysts.
Net income last quarter rose to $628.6 million, or 29 cents a share, from $390.6 million, or 19 cents, a year earlier.
The company said it plans to buy back $1.5 billion in shares this year.
EMC has a majority stake in VMware Inc., the biggest maker of so-called virtualization programs, which let computers run multiple operating systems. VMware yesterday reported fourth-quarter profit more than doubled to $119.9 million on rising demand for its software. Still, VMware shares slumped 3.9 percent today after the company forecast a slowdown in new license sales and said that margins would be little changed this year.
(EMC had a conference call today to discuss earnings. Go to http://www.emc.com/about/investor-relations/index.htm for a replay.)

Favourable prospects for 2014 crop production in most southern bi-modal rainfall areas
Good yields expected in northern uni-modal rainfall areas, but reduced plantings in conflict-affected areas will lower cereal production
Good pasture availability in general, but livestock movements are severely affected by conflict
High cereal prices in conflict-affected areas exacerbate the precarious local food security situation
Food security outlook likely to deteriorate soon in conflict-affected areas as households' food stocks are expected to run out by end-January
About 2.5 million people are currently considered as severely food insecure and in need of humanitarian assistance
Harvesting of the 2014 second season crops has just been completed in bi-modal rainfall areas and production is estimated at average to above-average levels. Rains have generally been timely, abundant and well-distributed in most cropping areas. According to satellite-based rainfall estimates, a significant water stress was reported in September in Lopa and Kapoeta North counties of Eastern Equatoria State and in Pibor county in Jonglei State, but abundant rains during the first two dekads of October, which caused also localized flooding in low-lying areas, fully reversed the situation.
In northern uni-modal rainfall areas, harvesting of 2014 long-cycle sorghum and millet crops is well advanced and yields are forecast at above-average levels following the favourable rainfall performance along the season. However, cereal production in most conflict-affected areas of Upper Nile, Unity and Jonglei states is expected at below-average levels due to a significant reduction in area planted. Some farmers were not able to plant due to displacements, while others planted plots smaller than usual, close to the homestead, due to insecurity, seed shortages and increased time spent searching for food.
The ongoing conflict is having a significant negative impact on the country's important livestock sector. The conflict has prompted an unprecedented movement of cattle from conflict-affected states to agricultural areas, outside of traditional grazing areas, with consequent high concentration of animals on small grazing areas, destruction of crops and increasing risk of disease outbreaks. The increased competition for limited grazing resources poses also new challenges to local power structures, with intensification of tribal conflicts and cattle raids.
Abundant rainfall during the rainy season has generally improved availability and quality of pasture resources. Although rains stopped by mid-November, good pasture conditions are still reported in most grazing areas of the country, in particular in central and northeastern states. However, the latest available remote sensing images (second dekad of January) indicate a rapid deterioration of pasture in some southeastern areas of Pibor and Kapoeta East counties, along the borders with Ethiopia and Kenya.
According to the results of the latest available Integrated Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (September 2014), food security across the country has improved from August to December, following seasonal patterns. The estimated number of people in acute food insecurity and livelihood crisis declined from 3.9 million in July to nearly 1.5 million. The improvement was mainly due to the positive effect of humanitarian response and the availability of newly-harvested first and second season crops for local consumption, with ensuing declines in prices which had a positive effect on food access. Between January and March 2015, the estimated number of people in need of humanitarian assistance (classified as IPC phase 3 "Crisis" and 4 "Emergency") is expected to scale up to 2.5 million as the below-average production harvested in conflict-affected areas allowed only a partial replenishment of household food stocks which are expected to run out by end-January, two-three months earlier than usual. Over 60 percent of the people in need of assistance are concentrated in the most conflict-affected states of Unity, Upper Nile and Jonglei.
Functionality of most food markets in conflict-affected areas has been seriously disrupted by direct attacks, looting, abandonment by traders, disruption of trading networks and loss of market infrastructure. In Greater Upper Nile, food prices are very high, up to ten times higher than pre-crisis levels in some areas, such as Bentiu and Rubkona.
Since the start of the conflict in mid-December 2013, close to 2 million people have fled their homes, including 1.5 million internally-displaced and about 497 000 now hosted in neighbouring countries as refugees.

Freaky or Fabulous? Ms. Taken Faux Diamond Ring
by Fashion
Like us on Facebook
Not all guys in clubs are desirable. And why is it that the undesirable ones are always the ones that hit on you? With this new Ms. Taken Faux Diamond Ring ($50), you can easily ward off unwanted men by giving them the finger . . . the ring finger, that is. All you have to do is put the silver key chain fob that houses your faux diamond on your keys and slip your ring on when said males get too close. It's a fun gift for your single ladies! What do you think of this product — freaky or fabulous?
In case you're wondering where I grabbed this from, it's a video response to Justin Timberlake's SNL skit with Andy Sandberg. Warning: Though both videos are hilarious, they're also racy and NSFW.

Whatever happened to just saying "No thanks, not interested?"

I have a fake one and it works. I don't run into men that are really aggressive about hitting on me NO MATTER WHAT- they're pretty respectful and will absoluetly switch gears if they see a ring. Can depend on the places you go.

yeah it's true some (er or most) guys don't really care what ring or where you wear it. When I was single and shopped for a ring. I get drawn with wedding rings til I bought myself one. I've been wearing it forever! Now that I'm married I don't even have a wedding ring. I prefer it that way. The only wedding ring I wear is that from when I was married to just myself. LOL

My girls and I have been doing this for about 20 years--but what makes THIS so priceless is the video! Like so many others, I wouldn't buy this specific product, but yes, it can and does work (I was a waitress and bartender, too), and helpful in this day and age when giving some flip and attitude will also get you into a physical altercation with some of those dirtbags (some guys really aren't what whey used to be, ladies...)!

The whole idea makes no sense. It's just a waste of money. No man cares about you taking the time to put that ring on. When a man just keep bothering you after you've already said "no thank you" nicely, then just be brave enough to say "Hey, get lost buddy!" .....Strong words are always free!

We're now only less than a week away from the season finale of "Better Call Saul," but if you ask James Corden, Bob Odenkirk and Claire Danes, there's still plenty to discuss from the series premiere.
While appearing on "The Late Late Show" Monday, "Saul" star Odenkirk discussed the now-famous opening scene that finds Saul Goodman managing an Omaha, Nebraska, Cinnabon – just as the shady lawyer predicted in his final days of "Breaking Bad."
"I got to make Cinnabons, and in fact they sent someone out from the home office to make sure that I made them exactly right," Odenkirk told host Corden and fellow guests Danes and David Beckham. Read More »

After the first two episodes, this is what the world knows about Jeff Lewis, star of "Flipping Out," a new reality show about a guy - him - who buys, remodels and sells houses in Los Angeles:
He yells at his employees - a lot.
"You're fired," he shouts at one hapless assistant.
"I'm quitting!"
"No, you're fired! I fired you before you quit!"
He's obsessive-compulsive - especially around lunch when he asks assistant Jenni to fetch him the perfect drink.
"Ideally, 70 percent lemonade, 20 percent punch, 10 percent Sprite. If they don't have fruit punch, do, like, 85 percent lemonade and 15 percent Sprite. If they don't have lemonade, do 85 percent punch and 15 percent Sprite. Or 7-Up."
He loves his pets and his psychics. And his pet psychic.
"The pet psychic actually said he's very imaginative, he's very creative, in the sense that he'll imagine himself hunting or hiding," Lewis says of his beloved cat, Monkey.
And here's the thing: Even as a newborn reality TV star - the third installment airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on Bravo - Lewis knew that the world would get to know all this stuff. And he was more or less cool with that.
"When I got into it, I told the production company and the network to show all sides of me," he says over lunch at a Los Feliz restaurant the day after the second episode aired. "After all, I'm human. I have bad days, I have meltdowns, just like everybody else."
What he didn't expect was the way he felt once he saw himself in the unflattering mirror of his television.
"You can have people tell you how you are, but until you see yourself on a 40-inch plasma TV, you really can't know," says Lewis, 37, who grew up in Orange County.
And so he decided he had to change.

A review on systematic reviews of health information system studies
The purpose of this review is to consolidate existing evidence from published systematic reviews on health information system (HIS) evaluation studies to inform HIS practice and research. Fifty reviews published during 1994–2008 were selected for meta-level synthesis. These reviews covered five areas: medication management, preventive care, health conditions, data quality, and care process/outcome. After reconciliation for duplicates, 1276 HIS studies were arrived at as the non-overlapping corpus. On the basis of a subset of 287 controlled HIS studies, there is some evidence for improved quality of care, but in varying degrees across topic areas. For instance, 31/43 (72%) controlled HIS studies had positive results using preventive care reminders, mostly through guideline adherence such as immunization and health screening. Key factors that influence HIS success included having in-house systems, developers as users, integrated decision support and benchmark practices, and addressing such contextual issues as provider knowledge and perception, incentives, and legislation/policy.

To set the record straight, no one on my boat is having any trouble tying the knot itself and we use a round turn and two half hitches. A clove hitch does not change anything for us.
Holding a 12 inch fender at ankle height, while it gets kicked around by the bow wake is tough, period. Every man, woman or child that has done it has commented. It isn't impossible, it just stinks, particularly after a long day.
As I've said, although the chest pounders ignored it, we have not yet found an acceptable alternative. However, if I do, I'm on it.

A Sausage a Day
Chinese sausage is a favorite among dishes from the East. When one is looking for a food that is high in fat and flavor, and that carries with it a long shelf life, he can find nothing better than these sausages, which, thanks to expert preparation, go far beyond what the average sausage does. The moment that one tastes Chinese sausage for the first time, he will likely want to make it a part of his everyday diet, though one does have to be careful if he wants to control his weight. The highness in protein makes it a great dish in between meals so long as one controls the size and frequency of their meals thereafter.
However, it is important not to overlook the Chinese sausage's effectiveness as a meal. And to make it into one, it is all about the side items. One that works particularly well as a filling and tasty dish is the sticky rice and ginger scallion oil. These make perfect additions to the already sweet and dry flavor of the Chinese sausage. When preparing, however, it is important to have the right plan of attack for each component of the overall meal. Starting with the sticky rice, one should steam to perfection until the rice are like perfect grains. Meanwhile, it is advantageous to slice the sausage at this point into thin and diagonal slices. Next, one should sautes the carvings in oil, being careful not to go overboard with the amount.
To cut back on the amount of fat of the sausage selection, it may be a more preferable idea to use Vietnamese sausages, which contains less fat than the Chinese counterpart. Vietnamese sausages use more wine in the preparation for a stronger, bolder flavor that is sure to be a hit with one's taste buds and guests. One should remember that digestion for Chinese or Vietnamese sausage can be problematic if a lesser brand of meat is used. It is important to tenderize as much as possible when preparing because, as it goes in, so will it be in the digestive tract.
While one is preparing the sticky rice and the sausage, it is also important not to forget the preparation standards of the ginger scallion oil. This oil includes 1/4 cup corn or peanut oil along with 3/4 tablespoon of ginger. One should add salt and loosely chop the 3 scallions, then mix together into a food processor. Combining the ingredients will result in a dish that goes a long way throughout the week, and also delights the taste buds.

Pretty in Plaid: A Life, a Witch, and a Wardrobe; or, the Wonder Years before the Condescending, Egomanical, Self-Centered Smart-Ass Phaseby Jen Lancaster
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The hardcover debut from the New York Times bestselling author, the prequel to Bitter is the New Black, in Pretty in Plaid, Jen Lancaster reveals how she developed the hubris that perpetually gets her into trouble. Using fashion icons of her youth to tell her hilarious and insightful stories, readers will meet the girl she used to be.
Think Jen Lancaster was always "like David Sedaris with pearls and a super-cute handbag?" (Jennifer Coburn) Think again. She was a badge-hungry Junior Girl Scout with a knack for extortion, an aspiring sorority girl who didn't know her Coach from her Louis Vuitton, and a budding executive who found herself bewildered by her first encounter with a fax machine. In this humorous and touching memoir, Jen Lancaster looks back on her life — and wardrobe — before bitter was the new black and shows us a young woman not so very different than the rest of us.
The author who showed us what it was like to wait in line at the unemployment office with a Prada bag, how living in the city can actually suck, and that losing weight can be fun with a trainer named Barbie and enough Ambien is ready to take you on a hilarious and heartwarming trip down memory lane in her shoes (and very pretty ones at that).
"Funny girl Lancaster has crafted a successful career by honing the breezy, bloggy style she first exhibited in Bitter is the New Black; her latest, in part a backhand to the resurgent 80s fashion trends, is sure hit resonant, hysterical notes for anyone who came of age in the era of the Preppy Handbook. Authorial voice is at the heart of Lancaster's charm, and she chronicles her early 20s-blunders from fashion and finances to academics and retail jobs-with a candor that few will be able to resist. Lancaster confesses to a fascination with plastic (the material, not the credit card), gloating over her impressive new Liz Claiborne bags, and difficulty finding faithful friends, even (especially) in her Greek affiliations ('Even though I read Seventeen and Glamour every month, I'm already thought of as the Jean Jacket Jackass in my rush group'). Falling somewhere between David Sedaris and Laurie Notaro, Lancaster's goofy charm will no doubt continue to win fans, as well as influence the next generation of sardonic, winning, self-effacing memoirists." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
In this prequel to "Bitter Is the New Black," Lancaster reveals how she has developed the hubris that perpetually gets her into trouble. Using fashion icons of her youth to tell her hilarious and insightful stories, readers meet the girl she used to be.
Now in paperback! Jen Lancaster's cultural inferiority complex had to come from somewhere...and now fans can find out where in the New York Times bestseller Pretty in Plaid.
Before she was bitter, before she was lazy, Jen Lancaster was a badge- hungry Junior Girl Scout with a knack for extortion, an aspiring sorority girl who didn't know her Coach from her Louis Vuitton, and a budding executive who found herself bewildered by her first encounter with a fax machine. In this hilarious and touching memoir, Jen Lancaster looks back on her life-and wardrobe-and reveals a young woman not so different from the rest of us.
Prepare to take a long walk in her (drool-worthy) shoes in this hilarious and heartwarming trip down memory lane.

NEWBERRY — Fourteen newcomers have been signed to the Wolves' baseball roster for the 2014-15 academic year to bolster the already strong roster as the Wolves look to improve on a strong 2014 season.
Newberry College head baseball coach Russell Triplett announced the following additions:
Michael Gonzalez is a 5-foot-11, 180 pound outfielder from Wilsonville, Ore. Gonzalez played the last two seasons at Clark College in Vancouver, Wash., and was named first team all-Southern Region and second team all-NWAACC outfielder in 2014. In 2014 he hit .329 with 46 hits, 10 doubles, a homer and 24 RBIs. He struck out only 14 times in 140 at bats and walked 15 times for the Penguins.
Joey Ruiz is a 6-foot-2, 205 pound first baseman from Suwanee, Ga. He was a two-sport athlete in high school at Hebron Christian Academy and was named to 2014 all-region and all-Gwinnett County teams. Ruiz was recognized by the Georgia Dugout Club as a stellar student-athlete and was selected to play in 2014 Gwinnett County High School All-Star Classic.

Jacob Bass is a 5-foot-11, 150 pound infielder from North Augusta, who just completed his prep career at Strom Thurmond HS. Bass was selected to the all-region team in 2012, 2013 and 2014 and was an All-State selection in 2012.

Shea's Gas Station and Museum, a Springfield and Old Route 66 landmark which first opened in 1995 at 2075 Peoria Rd.,has long drawn Route 66 visitors.
Owner Bill Shea, 90, along with his family extending four generations, greet people from around the world traveling the "Mother Road". Admission is $3.00. Shea's relationship with Route 66 first began in 1946, when he operated a Texaco service station at 2001 Peoria Rd.
When he closed shop in 1955, he opened the next day in the form of a Marathon gas station a block away at 2075 Peoria Rd., and continued to sell gasoline there until 1982. Never "retired", Shea greets visitors while wearing his old Marathon uniform and has them sign into a guest book at the museum, where they can view an eclectic mix of everything from old gas pumps, oil cans, several wood telephone booths and countless Route 66 memorabilia.

Friday afternoon time wasters ...
A roundup of things we've seen on these Internets lately that we like:
- Cotter up in NYC offers his predictions for the season. Very funny stuff. We particularly enjoy the "related items."
- Don at Mondesi's House gives us his annual magnum opus Steelers preview for Deadspin.
- Sean points out the absurdity of a Dana Torres/Jerome Bettis comparison.
- Tecmo at PSAMP properly flames Fox Sports for their assessment of Steelers fans.
- Dagger at Postgame Heroes does a terrific Mahan vs. Hartwig break down.
- Behind the Steel Curtain predicts who will make the 53-man roster.
- Big Ben is Maxim's QB of the year. They lay it on a little thick with Ben-as-regular-guy and Pittsburgh-as-stereotyped-steel-town in the profile, but whatever. Also, Troy Polamalu -- a guy who doesn't exactly scream Maxim -- makes their team, as does Jeff Reed, who couldn't be a more perfect representative of the Maxim demographic.
- Nice Pick Cowher does an excellent job of breaking down the Steelers O.
- Also, we hope to continue our adventures in live blogging the games tomorrow night, so tune in and drop us a line. Have a good weekend folks!
