Ms. Jackson is Back! Janet Announces New Music & World Tour
My conversation… #ConversationsInACafe https://t.co/buOK6ZhfHY
— Janet Jackson (@JanetJackson) May 16, 2015
And just like that, Ms. Jackson is finally back.
The legendary singer announced some major news early Saturday morning/late Friday night. Jackson tweeted a video of the inside of a studio, with her voice in the background. We hear her say, "I promised you'd hear it from my lips, and now you will," she says in the narration. "This year: new music, new world tour, a new movement."
Yes, you read that correctly. Janet officially confirmed she will release new music this year! Let the church say AMEN. We're so ready to see what her new movement and world tour will look like. Janet was and still is one of the greatest icons of our time. Welcome back Janet!

Did He Just Lick Her Knee?! Artists Who Got Their Freak On With Their Fans On Stage
It's the job of artists to entertain us, but these stars took things to the next level. The 10 artists included on this list have done everything: offering their fans lap dances, letting them cop a feel, and even kissing them in front of thousands of people. That's one hell of a way to say thank you for the support! We don't know how eager we would be to get so close to these stars, but if the fans like it, then I guess we love it…
Janet Jackson
If you didn't know, Ms. Jackson does this. The Velvet Rope Tour anyone? Janet Jackson has been seducing her male fans and making their fantasies come true for years. The music legend doesn't see anything wrong with a little bump and grind with her fans, and sometimes, as she did in this video, she sticks her tongue in their mouths…

Peanut, Man Man And June Bug: The Very Interesting Childhood Nicknames Of The Stars
Do you have a childhood nickname given to you by close family and friends? Sometimes such names are embraced, sometimes they're loathed, sometimes they're super random, and other times, they are used to describe you, or the way you look. The following stars on this list all are known by those close to them as something very interesting, and after doing some digging, I thought it would be fun to share some of those monikers with you.
Tity Boi
Before he was 2 Chainz, the "I'm Different" rapper was seriously out here going by his childhood nickname: Tity Boi.
"I want to explain this—I wish I could put this on a billboard. Tity Boi is not derogatory towards women, I didn't make it up, I didn't get it from a titty-sucking contest or anything like that. The name Tity Boi actually came from my big mama, from me being spoiled and an only child—breastfed. My mama called me Tity Boi, my dad called me Tity Man, my hood called me Tit so when we was trying to rap I had been going by Tit my whole life, Tit, Tity, Tity Man —it's just like a country nickname —term for being an only child."

Look Who's Back! Janet Jackson Comes Out Of Hiding With Her Husband And Is Flawless As Usual
Last time we can actually recall seeing Janet Jackson out and about at an event, it was in May 2013 at amfAR's 20th Annual Cinema Against Aids event in France.
If you'll recall, Jackson married billionaire Wissam Al Mana in 2012, and despite reports that they tied the knot in lavish fashion, last year the couple issued a joint statement for the first time to let fans know that everything was small, and while there were gifts, they were given to children in need.
"Last year we were married in a quiet, private, and beautiful ceremony. Our wedding gifts to one another were contributions to our respective favourite children's charities. We would appreciate that our privacy is respected and that we are allowed this time for celebration and joy."
From there, the couple were spotted partaking in "celebration and joy" on yachts and flying around the world, enjoying their new life together. Happily married, Jackson has been out of the public eye for a little while, but we were glad to see her back out this past weekend.
The beauty and her husband stepped out on Halloween night for the Vogue Fashion Dubai Experience (obviously in Dubai) and Jackson, looking a little different, was gorgeous while sporting a whip-worthy ponytail. Go, Janet! Now, if we could just get some new music sometime soon, that would be amazing…
Check out more pics of one of our favorites below!

Beyoncé Dresses Up As "Rhythm Nation" Janet Jackson; And Why Are Folks Dressing Up As Blue Ivy? [Pics]
Well, look who is in the Halloween spirit! After dressing up as an angel for last year's Halloween festivities (and dressing Blue Ivy up as a bumblebee), Beyoncé decided to pay homage and have a little more fun with this year's costume. Bey stepped out in full Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation mode–key earring, identical hat and vest, all black everything. She wore this cool ensemble to last night's Powerhouse concert at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, which was held by Power 105 (home of the Breakfast Club). She watched husband, Jay Z, take the stage.
Jay hit the stage briefly to perform alongside Young Jeezy (they did their song, "Seen It All") and also put on a costume of sorts. He showed off a Jason Voorhees mask, which he wore backwards for most of the night.
And can we mention that someone has decided to dress up as the couple's daughter, Blue Ivy? And no, it's not a child…
Celebrities (and everyday people) are already pulling out and putting on some very fun and kooky costumes, so it's looking like it's going to be a very interesting Halloween.

Runaway Bride…and Groom: Celebrity Couples Who Married In Secret
Stealth is important when it comes to most celeb weddings, unless you're the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple and you want everyone to know about your grossly overpriced wedding. But aside from Kimye, these celebrity couples have gone to great measures to keep details of their nuptials a secret, doing everything from eloping in Vegas, to hiding away in the Bahamas.
Bet You Didn't Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814″
Janet Jackson's "Rhythm Nation 1814" is celebrating its 25th anniversary today. And MadameNoire compiled a list of secrets about the making of the legendary album, which balanced socially-conscious messages and relationship ills. As the follow up to her mainstream breakthrough, "Control," this groundbreaking album continued Jackson's journey of breaking down barriers for
Black female entertainers — including having the most popular tour by a debut artist ever, "The Rhythm Nation World Tour." It was a turning point in Jackson's career. She went from a pop star to a pop icon — comparable to her brother Michael Jackson and Madonna's iconic status.
We bet you didn't know the album was the most popular album of 1990, is the only album that had seven top five hits on Billboard Hot 100 and is the only album to have number one pop hits in three calendar years. "Miss You Much" peaked at number one in 1989; "Rhythm Nation" at number two in 1989; "Escapade" secured the number one spot in 1990; "Alright" peaked at number four in 1990; "Come Back to Me" was number two in 1990; "Black Cat" peaked at number one in 1990; and "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" clutched number one in early 1991.
Beyoncé To Perform And Pick Up The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award At MTV Video Music Awards
Another day, another big accolade coming Beyoncé's way.
According to Rolling Stone, 'Yoncé will pick up this year's Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. For those who don't know, the award is something of a Lifetime Achievement Award for artists who have had an impact on MTV's culture. It's been given to directors (Hype Williams picked up one in 2006 for example) as well as musicians whose videos and work have transformed the way people watch music videos and watch MTV in general. Considering that her visual album from December was a huge success, I guess it makes sense that she would be the next artist to be honored. Justin Timberlake picked up the award last year and put on a pretty epic performance that included 'N Sync reuniting, and a medley of all his solo hits. With that in mind, I'm sure Beyoncé will put on quite the show. Other Vanguard winners include Jackson of course (the award, once just the "Video Vanguard Award" was renamed after him in 1991), Janet Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, LL Cool J, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and more.
On top of picking up that award, the singer is also the most nominated artist for this year's awards ceremony. She is nominated for eight awards, including Video of the Year for "Drunk in Love" with her husband, Jay Z. This will be her first time at the show since she revealed to the world that she was pregnant with Blue Ivy back in 2011.
The show will take place on August 24, 9/8 c.

14 Music Videos With "Attempt-able" Choreography
I'm going to let you in on a little secret… I've been harboring a deep desire to dance. Every since my aunt Annette made my sisters and I watch a VHS of all of Michael Jackson's music videos up until "Smooth Criminal" when we were children, I have loved everything that is choreographed and put to music.
However, I'm a little shy to dance on a stage… in front of a crowd… with eyes watching me. So, I dance in private, while practicing these popular music videos with amazing choreography. And if I was a betting person, I would bet you have too (or at least marveled at them). Which videos you ask?
Ah-Salamu Alakum: Celebs Who Are Muslim
All around the country and across the world, millions of Muslims are observing Ramadan, the month-long fast of the Islamic faith that involves abstaining from food, liquids and even swearing from sundown until sunset. Did you know these celebrities observing the holiday too?
Mike Tyson
Like a lot of other inmates who learn about Islam while being incarcerated, "Iron" Mike Tyson converted behind bars. The heavyweight-boxing champ was serving prison time after he was found guilty of raping former beauty queen Desiree Washington. After serving his time, Tyson continued to practice his new faith. In 2010, he made the holy pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia and shared the experience with his followers on Twitter: "I just left the Holy City of Mecca where I was blessed to have been able to make Umrah…Inshallah (God willing), Allah will continue to bless me to stay on the straight path."

Nothing seems to take the fun out of summer more than when a child complains of an earache during a family vacation at the beach. Let me lend you an ear and a few tips on something we call swimmer's ear. While most ear infections during the winter are a complication of a cold, swimmers ear occurs when the ear canal is constantly exposed to water and heatthe result of your child living in pools, lakes and water parks during the summer. This frequent exposure to water and heat causes the ear canal to become soggy, allowing bacteria to grow. Initially, the ear may seem plugged, but within a day or two it becomes quite painful and sensitive to even a gentle touch. Treatment involves inserting a mixture of equal parts of rubbing alcohol and vinegar into the ear using a dropper. This sterilizes and dries the ear canal, cleans out debris, and kills bacteria and mold. But these should not be used if you think the ear drum is perforated; so if you are in doubt, have your pediatrician check the ear. He or she may recommend antibiotic ear drops if the home remedy doesn't work and that your child stay out of the water for five to seven days. For your childs discomfort, try acetaminophen, or use a warm cotton cloth or heating pad against the ear. If you want to prevent swimmers ear, make sure your child dries his or her ears thoroughly after coming out of the water, and comes out at least every hour or two to let the ear canals dry out. Hopefully tips like this will not leave you all wet when it comes to making sure your child does not contract swimmer's ear.

The young Railways side under Sanjay Bangar got to see a great master at work, as Sachin Tendulkar (137 off 136 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (105 batting, 207 balls) helped host Mumbai reach 344 for four on the first day of their Ranji Trophy encounter on Friday.
For the young batsmen in Railways ranks, watching Tendulkar milk runs off their bowlers at the Wankhede was a lesson in itself about the nuances of batsmanship.
Rahane said he benefited too; talking about sharing strike time with his senior Mumbai partner, he said: "He made my work so easy. All I had to do was take singles, give him the strike and then watch him bat from the other end."
For Tendulkar at the business end, the ball mattered and each delivery was to be dealt with on merit, the bowler's identity consigned to the background in his cricketing brain. He decided on the terms of engagement from the crease, leaning into strokes without any hint of indecision.
Railways may have felt encouraged when the maestro needed 31 balls to get his first boundary, but that just turned out to be the calm before the storm.
He took time to get his eye in, and his feet moving, and then unfurled the master-class, frame by frame in real-time, for the benefit of youngsters in rival ranks and fans filling up the public stands at Wankhede as word spread about his appearance.
When Anureet Singh finally got him caught at slip, flashing an upper-cut to a short-pitched ball on off-stump, Tendulkar had by then floored the attack with classic strokes and improvised ones.

At Kolkata: Bengal 187 for four in 59 overs (Subhomoy Das 95, Manoj Tiwary 42) vs. Rajasthan. Toss: Rajasthan.

The constant adjournments of Parliament due to the controversy created by Volcker's report are indeed pathetic. One would like to know what has happened to the scams regarding the defence deals of which Parliament was similarly adjourned.
It will not be a surprise if the Volcker controversy also becomes a dead issue after some time like other such cases before it.
In the meantime, people are getting their daily dose of entertainment in the `acts' of Parliamentarians.

The Cornwall region
Talland Bay lies between Looe and Polperro and is one of the most memorable and secluded coves along the coastline of South Cornwall. It has three small beaches flanked by a rocky foreshore and a beautiful undeveloped coastline.
The quiet hamlet of Talland consists of a scattering of houses and cottages and an ancient church, away from the busy tourist areas further to the north and west. The idyllic bay is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, forms part of the Heritage Coast Cornwall, and was once renowned for smuggling.
The Southwest Coastal Path gives wonderful cliff-top walks east to the fishing port of Looe or west to the picture-postcard village of Polperro, one of the prettiest harbours in Cornwall. Both Looe and Polperro have many excellent restaurants and cosy pubs with local seafood, of course, a speciality.
The area is home to stunning golf courses including Looe, Lostwithiel, the internationally renowned St. Mellion and the dramatic cliff-top courses of Carlyon Bay and Whitsand Bay.
Within a short drive lies Fowey with its picturesque harbour and sailing centre and further inland is the Eden project, whose futuristic "biomes" contain plants from around the world and which is the most visited tourist destination in Cornwall.
For those in search of a faster pace, a 40 minutes drive brings you to Newquay, home to the Blue Reef Aquarium, Newquay Zoo and the vibrant surf scene at Fistral Beach.

"Amazing-one of the best places we have stayed at,we all loved our holiday!"
No 5 The Bay is one of the most delightful and well equipped holiday homes we have ever stayed in,and we have stayed in a few! We have four children aged from11 to 23 and each one of them enjoyed this beautiful home and area. The fact that it also boasts a beautiful pool and sauna on site gives parents something extra to help entertain children if the weather is not great or in the morning and early evening when plans for the day are taking shape. We searched the secret beaches:-Frog Prince cove being stunning.We went for cream teas to the beach cafe ,at Talland Bay ,and also to the renowned Talland bay hotel which is a very quirky and beautiful place.We had pasties in Polperro also the best crab sandwiches ever. We went on the longest zip wire in the uk-even mum!.
We talked ,we walked we had fun.We had beautiful food everywhere we went. The areas around are a joy but it was just so lovely to come back each day to such a lovely house ,which has been decorated and thought out so well.We wanted to cook in that kitchen and play games and just chill. the best recommendation of all is _We have booked for next year ,which say s it all. The Kearney family.
Hi there,
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, it's always great to receive such positive comments.
So lovely to hear everyone's holiday stories and know that you had such a good time exploring the area.
We look forward to welcoming you again next year,
Kind Regards,
The Bay Talland team

No Relationship Skills!
- I am young and I got married when I was pregnant. Don't get me wrong I love him to death. I told him I wasn't in love anymore. We have been on the rocks for about a month and I can't take it. I'm going crazy. We have a son who isn't even a year old. It's hard but I think we will get through it. Custody is my biggest thing. I won't keep him from seeing his son but I fear every minute he will try and keep him from me.

- I've been married 20 years, I was 10 years older than him, 30 to his 21. I had a child from another relationship. His parents have never liked me. His brother died last year, as I'm typing this he is dancing around me, trying to invoke another row, I say he is depressed. I wish he would just shut up and go away. I'm sick of all the metal abuse I'm getting. The kids think he's a lunatic, he picks on them for no reason other than to get a reaction and fight!! I've had enough of his childish behavior. I wish he would go to a bereavement counselor but he insists that nothing is wrong. He is frightened his family will find out and call him weak . I've walked out several times, because if I stayed I think I would have hurt him bad. I just wish he would go away and sort himself out. I've tried - God knows I've tried. I don't think me or the kids can carry on living in this atmosphere! Any respect I had is gone, and my dislike of him is gradually turning to hatred!! I'm so sad about all of this.

When Trust is Lost!
- It was 8 years ago, when I moved to Chicago and I thought I found the woman that I was always in need of. We dated for 3 three years before marriage, which I came into wrong by not telling her of an old relationship that later was found out due to it was a close family friend of mine. We had a big fight and the trust has never been the same. She reacted by doing dirt herself but always seemed to down play it and say it was because of what I did to make it feel better, so then I would do something supid again and the cycle would repeat itself. The truth is I love my wife and truly want to be with her for ever but since the trust is not there we both police each other like fort knox and its killing our marriage. We are so close to divorce I can taste it. I would like to know what should we do, should we try and take it from each other for the kids sake or should we move on so she can be truly happy and I can just walk upon this earth?

Don't "Feel Alive."
- Life is to short to be in a relationship that gives you nothing to feel alive. Children are no excuse, they actually can be harmed more emotionally by an unhappy marriage than a divorce. They no more than most parents think. Financial reasons are usually what keeps two people together who are both miserable. In these times going it alone is easier said then done. Truly loving someone, knowing they are just as unhappy as you are, is setting them free for both of you. Not from the Divorce Support Guide: "Feeling alive" is something that comes from within. Neither your husband nor your marriage has the ability to "make you feel alive." If you are empty in this relationship, you will be empty in the next. In these modern times, if you have both come to the conclusion that niether of you are happy with each other, arrangements acan be made. We are grown ups, and if finaces get in the way of moving out, then don't. If you both find others who full fill the voids in your lives, you can have both worlds and still be good friends. I know what it is like to care for another, but have nothing incommon. All that caring doesn't help those lonely days and nights. dreading to go home to the same old empty Box.

On The Fence
- Minimal sex, avoidance and rejection of any type of marital discussion, virtually no emotional intimacy at all, frequent criticism. On my end, admittedly I shut down and withdraw. There's no incentive to try to discuss things. The only thing that keeps me going is our daughter, whom I love dearly, but surely it cannot be a good example for her to be growing up with this kind of relationship as a model. If my wife and I were dating, I'm sure I would break up with her. Ending a marriage with a child is obviously more complicated. I try to understand what I have done to contribute to this situation. I'm sure I've done (or haven't done) something, but with her lack of interest in discussing anything with me, I'm flying blind. I don't know what to do anymore. I exhausted and empty.

Stuck in a Bad Marriage
- I have been abused verbally, physically and mentally for the past 5 years. I was 18 when I got pregnant with my now 4 yr old son, the only reason I stayed with my husband. I was young and very dumb. He holds down a job, pays for everything but throws in my face that everything is his. Calls me names and puts me down in front of our child. Controls me and where I go. I don't have any friends because of him. I told him we need to go to counseling but he insists there is nothing wrong with him and that everything is my fault. He calls me bipolar when really he's the one that obviously needs help. I'm only 22 and I want to get out of this marriage but I feel stuck
- —Hurt715
Just Don't Know Any More
- I just don't know any more. Me and my husband have been together for 5 years, married for almost 3 of those years. We have two beautiful children. It just seems like we fight about everything. I feel like he puts me down, makes fun of me because I tend to forget things and makes like I am screwing up our children. The one thing that really hurts my feelings is that he looks at other girls with that look of I want her but he has not looked at me like that in a year or more. I am tired of fighting and I feel like that the only time we get along is in bed. I am lost and I think the main reason I am staying is because of my kids to give them a stable home.
- —Guest Nikki
Past the Point
- I feel like I'm in a marriage by myself. He doesn't help with the bills - I'm lucky if I can squeeze a few hundred dollars out of him every month for the rent. He complains because we never had kids together (he has two by previous relationships) but I can't even get him to help with the dogs. He spends all his time on the computer playing video games and ignoring me. Lately he won't even talk to me and he gets snippy or yells at me if I interrupt his games. He takes his cell phone to the bathroom with him. I'm positive he's up to something. He's cheated before and I know how he acts when he's got someone on the side. He's 40. Maybe he's having a midlife crisis, I don't know. I don't really want a divorce but I also don't want to spend the rest of my life worrying about what he's up to. He can't provide and then resents me for working all the time. I've put up with it until now because I thought he cared about me, but I don't even believe that any more. Maybe enough is enough.

I Am Thinking About Divorce
- My wife and I have been married for 27 years and we are no longer sleeping in the same room, she stays in her bed room all the time. I am on the road for days sometimes and still she thinks that I am out parting it up... when most of the time I sit in a hotel room when you have no money to do any thing because she controls the money you stay in the room. We have four boys all of which have moved out and still when they come over it is a violation to her space so all she does is complain about the kids coming over. I feel as though it is pointless. I have been faithful to her all this time even when she has had at least one affair on me with a 17 year old kid. I still kept being faithful.... it has been about 8 years now since we made love or had sex and at this time I feel as though it will never happen again because I don't want it any more, at least not from her. She speaks and I cringe now. I don't know what to do. When counseling is mentioned she says she won't go Help! Not from the Divorce Support Guide: Go to counseling without her. It can help you decide whether or not you want to stay in the marriage or not and what you need to do about your situation.

he might be perfect
- my husband works alot (is very successful), is a very good husband, and is not physically or verbally abusive. In 15 years of marraige, he has been an upright man, good, honest, but not in love with me. I had 3 miscarraiges, late term, he made it to the hospital 1 time. He wasn't there to bring my two healthy boys from the hospital. He has been very cheap with me. We seperated for six months, I was very happy, but then I got sick, so we moved back in together. He's made such an effort but every day I wait for the other shoe to fall. And I am so lonely. He doesn't call for anything but to tell me what to do where to be and how to do. no sweet talk, no how is your day? I am lonely and want to run far away, but my children are happy and they have already been through one seperation...but I am so unhapppy
- —Guest wishing 2 stop the hurt
- I have been married for almost 6 years. We have a beautiful daughter that is almost three. We started dating when I was 16 and I just knew he was the one. If I would have known that he would continue drinking and staying out with his friends I would have never married him. I admit I'm not the best wife in the world. I don't keep the house clean or clothes washed like most, but I feel it is because I just don't care anymore. We argue a lot and he blames his drinking and staying out late on me since I don't keep the house clean. Every time we talk about it he keeps saying that if I keep the house done then he will stop, but it never happens. Everything just keeps repeating over again. It was really bad before my daughter was born. I was going to kick him out the day I found out I was pregnant, but I gave in. WHY? Maybe there is somebody else out there that knows what I am going through and this might help them realize they're not alone.

Lonely & Unhappy!
- I have been with my husband for 15 years; we have a 10 year old daughter and have been married for 4 years. He is a great provider and a wonderful father, but he is a horrible husband. We do not do much as a couple and do not communicate well. The things that I like doing he doesn't and most of the time we are doing things by ourselves. He is not very affectionate and romantic. I am yearning for affection and this make me very unhappy. I have expressed this to my husband many times and he said that he will change, but it's the same thing year in year out. I even suggested couples counseling and he refuses. I cannot continue to be unhappy anymore. We do not spend much time together apart from the house. He is not willing to try new things and our sex life if very boring. I am a very sexual person and my husband is not allowing me to express that, his continuous rejections is pushing me further away from him. I am very lonely and unhappy you would think that I was a single person.
- —Guest Tired
Not Sure What To Do
- We've been together 10 years. My partner has always been volatile, a side of her I have never liked. When we met she seemed outgoing but she was hiding a very shy and jealous inner self. She hates me going out or spending any time with anyone but her. I run my own business and work long hours usually 12 hours days 7am to 7pm except most weekends. We own two houses and never really worry about money or bills. We've recently had a baby by IVF and she now says we shouldn't have had him as I don't get home until 7. All I want is for us to have a great time together when I'm home and make the most of everything we have. I don't cheat but get offers all the time which I walk away from. My partner gets aggressive and heavy handed with me but I would never hit her back. I want us to be loving together but she makes a problem out of everything so we always end up in silence. Is it time to part? I don't want to spend my life like this but don't want to lose my time with my beautiful young son.

I Regret Getting Married
- I have been married to my wife for 2 years, dated for four. She used to be very cute and normal. Now, the smallest thing and she flies off the handle yelling. She does nothing around the house. She works out, that is her contribution to the house. I am the major bread winner, earning double her salary. I also do all of the cooking, take care of the dogs, and pay all of the bills. When I travel for work, nothing gets done. All she does is complain about how hard her life is. We argue all of the time, with her always apologizing for being out of control. I no longer have any feelings for my wife, and I would never cheat. I am stuck in a marriage I no longer want with a woman who is no longer lovable.
- —Guest living_w/regret
I Feel Trapped
- I have been married for two years and in those two years have been to hell and back with my husband. Six months into our marriage he cheated on me with a 17 year old girl at a friends wedding. We have been together for three years and for two of those years he has been both physically,verbally and mentally abusive to me. I had him arrested the last he became abusive,but am still with him. I am pregnant and pay for everything. All he does is sit and play his video games and ignore me. The only time I get any attention is when he wants sex. I don't know what to do I am only 22 and have my whole life in front of me but I feel like after everything that has already happened it should only get better. Note from the Divorce Support Guide: It won't get better! Get out now while you are young, like you said, you have your entire life ahead of you. You don't want to live it like this do you?

Follow poster rule or be canceled, party-list groups warned
MANILA, Philippines—Commission on Elections Chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. on Wednesday warned that party-list groups caught violating rules on illegal election posters during the campaign period could face cancellation of their registration.
A day after the start of the campaign period for national positions, the Comelec went around Manila City with some members of the media to check the compliance of candidates and party-list groups with the election body's "common poster area" rule.
An inspection around the city showed several campaign banners pasted on plant boxes and on the columns of the Light Rail Transit along Taft Avenue and hung on electric posts on Quirino Highway while designated common poster areas, which included Plaza Dilao in Paco, remained bare.
Most of the illegally placed posters belonged to party-list groups Anakpawis, Kabataan, Buhay, AkapBata and Gabriela. Banners bearing the face of Team PNoy's senatorial bet Aurora Rep. Sonny Angara were also seen hanging from electric posts along Quirino Highway.
"Comelec is ready to launch a new wave of cancellation of party-list groups, despite printing of ballots, if prompted by their illegal posters," said Brillantes.
The Comelec chairman said these organizations "should be careful," stressing that violation of campaign rules was not only an election offense but a ground for cancellation of their registration as party-list groups under Republic Act 7941.
The law provides that the Comelec may cancel registration of a party-list group if it "violates or fails to comply with laws, rules or regulations relating to elections."
"What we are looking at now is compliance among individual candidates and party-list organizations. In fact, you will see that three out of one are from party-list groups," Comelec spokesperson James Jimenez, who also oversees monitoring of election propaganda, told reporters in an interview.
Jimenez led Wednesday's surprise inspection on Manila City's main thoroughfares and at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, where his team also spotted streamers of Kabataan party-list mounted in one of the walls of the school.
The team inspected PUP following reports received from concerned citizens of illegal posters inside the campus, according to Jimenez.
"We will notify the school that they have these kind of materials mounted inside the campus. We will remind them what our rules and regulations are," he said on the sidelines of the inspection.
He pointed out that mounting of election propaganda are prohibited in schools as they are considered public places.
Under Comelec Resolution No. 9615, it is prohibited to mount or display election propaganda materials in public places and outside the designated common poster areas.
It also prohibits campaign posters in main streets, bridges, center islands of roads and highways, waiting sheds, lamp and electric posts and wires and traffic signboards erected on public property.
But Jimenez was quick to add that the school won't be held liable for the illegally placed campaign ads and ultimately, the candidate or party-list organization appearing in the banner will be held responsible.
"Again, this does not constitute automatic disqualification on the part of these candidates or groups," Jimenez stressed. He said these candidates and party-list organizations will be given a three-day notice to take down their illegal posters.
"Potentially, they are violations but we are also considering that it's just the start of the campaign period and as we go along, we expect intense compliance among candidates and party-list groups," he said.

Re: World of Warcraff or EverQuest 2
These games have storylines like Ninja's have rocket launchers. One of the basic subsets of a story is an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. The MMORPGs I've played lacked exposition [I was just thrust into the game with nary a thought or preperation]. They have no Climaxs and Resolutions since the games go on forever. They have some background history to flesh out the world, but that's not a story. History of Middle Earth [12 volume series detailing well...the History of Middle Earth from the fall of the elves to the Fourth Age and onward] does not have a storyline. It's simply backstory to flesh out the world. Lord of the Rings actually has a real honest to god story/plot. I think you simply butchered the technical meaning of the word storyline and misconstrued it as a bunch of words that seem to almost form a coherent paragraph. Not only that but MMORPGs could have meta-plots if they wanted to, Vampire the Masquerade [the tabletop game, not the pc one] did and it's a freaking storytelling source book. So that 'but they're non-linear games' crap doesn't fly with me. If Vampire could do it so could online rpgs. I'm not expecting shakespeare hear, but a little meta-plot wouldn't kill these guys
They do have background stories. They are a "Role Playing" game. A Role Playing game is not a game you have a set story and follow it through to conclusion. They have a basic storyline and background
You are confusing a plot with a story. A story does not neccasarily have a plot. It can be a history of events. A background detail to immersion of the world. But a story does not neccasarily have to have a plot where events are triggered. If you want that kind of game. Then a maybe a japanese style automated story book is for you (AKA japan RPGS) There are no plots in MMORPG because you assume your own role. The entire idea is for you to take on a role in a world thats been created for you. Not for you to play a set storyline. Everything you suggested would not equal a "True" Role playing game. They are Multiplayer, Online,
Role Playing
World of Warcraft also has a great deal of background story too it.
Great. Don't much care for that though. Also don't see what it has do with not being generic, since a crapload of games outside of ORPGs have that as well. It's like saying these games are not generic because they have swords.
No offense, If you go around playing a mmorpg solo. You have no real business playing the game anyway. Teamwork, Friendship, and strategies are required to win in a mmorpg,
Trade skills, Economy, Questing. Are all very important aspects of MMORPG, And as the genre has developed these have become a neccesity for the games as well. Both WOW and Everquest 2 feature quest systems and progression systems based off those quests. These quests will also bottleneck your progress.
With a genre name like First Person Shooter what do you expect? Tea Time with Marry Poppins aboard the Queen Mary? Besides most FPS games are exactly as your described [ya they take a spin here and there, but at the end of the day you CAN compare HL2, D3, and FC. Why? Because in essence they do the exact same thing]. So I'd have no problems with you generalizing the genre in such a way. The boot fits.
Well if thats your reasonining. I'll just label everything generic then. I mean Doom 3 is just killing demons to finish the game. Sonic, is just another platform game. Any category can be generic. But the games themselves arent. Any title you bring up. I will be able to label as generic. Because it fits a certain category of game.

The Washington Post is reporting: [6]
Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey plans to announce as early as Wednesday afternoon that she is charging neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman [7] in the shooting of Trayvon Martin [8], according to a law enforcement official close to the investigation.
It was not immediately clear what charge Zimmerman will face.
Martin, 17 and unarmed, was shot and killed Feb. 26 by Zimmerman, who said he was acting in self-defense. Police in Sanford, Fla., where the shooting took place, did not charge Zimmerman, citing the state's "stand your ground" law.
Corey told reporters Tuesday night that she would hold a news conference about the case within 72 hours. A news release from her office said the event will be held in Sanford or Jacksonville, Fla.
Benjamin Crump, who is representing the Martin family, said this week that Corey's office had asked where Trayvon's parents would be each day this week. They arrived Wednesday in Washington for a civil rights conference organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton, where they are scheduled to speak.
This story is developing ...
Update: 2:43 p.m. EST
According to CNN.com:
A special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin shooting case [9] is expected to announce a decision within the next four hours regarding whether she will file charges against George Zimmerman, CNN reports.
The news comes a day after attorneys for Zimmerman told reporters they had lost contact with Zimmerman and no longer represent him [10].
Update 2:46 p.m. EST:
NBC News [12] confirms the report.
On Tuesday night, Florida special prosecutor Angela Corey told reporters that she would hold a news conference with an announcement on the case within 72 hours. According to a law enforcement official close to the investigation, Corey's office plans to announce that she is charging the neighborhood watch volunteer as early as Wednesday afternoon.
The news came shortly after a bizarre press conference [13] where Zimmerman's lawyers said they will no be longer be representing him, claiming he repeatedly rebuffed their legal advice and that they had lost contact with him.
"As of now we are withdrawing as counsel for Mr. Zimmerman," Craig Sonner, one of his attorneys, told reporters outside the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford, Fla. "He's gone on his own. I'm not sure what he's doing or who he's talking to, but at this point we're withdrawing as counsel. If he wants us to come back as counsel, he will contact us."
Zimmerman said he killed Trayvon Martin [14], an unarmed 17-year-old, on Feb. 26 in the gated community where the girlfriend of the teenager's father lived in Sanford. Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch member, called 911 and told a police dispatcher that Martin, who was returning from a trip to a nearby convenience store, "looked suspicious." After an altercation, Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest. He told the local police that he shot Martin in self defense, and was not arrested or charged.
Corey announced earlier this week that she would not be convening a grand jury in the case. Experts familiar with Corey's background say she has a reputation of avoiding grand juries in cases in which they are unnecessary. [15]Under Florida law, murder charges can only be issued by a grand jury. Zimmerman may face other charges in the shooting death, including manslaughter and assault.
Update 3:14 p.m. EST
Special prosecutor has scheduled a news conference to make an announcement about charges in the Trayvon Martin case at 6 p.m. EST Wednesday. Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, tweeted [16]the following message: We're on pins&needles waiting for Ms. Coreys decision but we're prayerful that justice will prevail. He sits high&looks low #GODisincontrol [17]
Fulton and Trayvon's father, along with their attorney, appeared on CNN's Piers Morgan program earlier this week. Below is the video of their appearance:

Thank You TW for the opportunity, as always it was my pleasure!
M: TestString @52 lbs; C: Babolat Addiction 17g at 58 lbs
Regular string set up:
lately M:Pros Pro Balckout @52 lbs; C:technifiber E-Matrix 17g/Forten Seet 17g @58 lbs
Racquet brand and model used for test:
Head Speed Pro
Power of test string:
Low powered. I generate my own so for me it was exactly what I like.
Although the feeling was muted compared to full bed of multi I really like the feeling for a Poly.
Spin was normal I did not feel that the string improved the spin from other strings.
I was surprised but for me this setup was very comfortable. I really enjoyed the way it felt and had no soreness at all.
I felt durability was good and I had no issues with the string.
Tension maintenance
: For me I really enjoyed the string until around the 10 hr (+- 2 hr) mark. After that the comfort and feel both seemed to drop
I really love the string from the baseline. Had great control even when really going for big shot. I liked serving as well. On Volley the string was ok, little bit muted for me to really like this string at the net. I did like it on BH slice.
Compare to the string you use most often:
I really did like the string a lot. I was surprised how good it played from the baseline. I will probably purchase a set and will try it out as a cross as well and with some other hybrid setups. Definitely a string that is worth a try.
Tension recommendations:
For me the tension was good. I usually string all my setups the same especially for comparison reasons. I would leave the tension the same.
I really like the string from the base line. I love the control I had with it. For big hitting baseliner this is worth a try. At net I was missing some feel but nonetheless this was a positive test for me. I would give the string 8.5 out of 10.

Greenpeace Wants Halt to Deep Seas Bottom-Trawling
OTTAWA — Greenpeace issued a fresh call on Monday to stop the practice of bottom-trawling, saying the international organizations that manage fish stocks were doing nothing to stop the destruction of ocean beds.
The conservation group says trawlers hunting for fish such as the orange roughy let their nets drag along the seabed at depths of up to 2 km (1.2 miles), destroying everything in their wake.
"We have documented an enormous range of the deep sea life that's coming up in these nets, including 500-year-old pieces of coral that are just ripped out of the seabed and (then) tossed back over the side," said Bunny McDiarmid of Greenpeace.
Last year a group of international scientists blamed around a dozen nations for the practice, including Russia, Japan, New Zealand, Iceland and Norway.
World fish stocks are managed by a number of regional international bodies and last year the United Nations General Assembly asked these groupings to look into bottom-trawling.
But Greenpeace said on Monday that the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO), which covers Canadian waters, and other such groups were very poor on protecting species.
A Greenpeace statement said an estimated 60 percent of bottom-trawling took place in the northwest Atlantic, most of it in the NAFO area.
"They've done an incredibly bad job of managing the fish for the last 25 years … NAFO has an appalling record," said McDiarmid, co-author of a critical report on NAFO released by Greenpeace on Monday.
McDiarmid said the regional organizations only cover 25 percent of the high seas and are focused on fish stocks rather than preservation.
She called for "a time-out" on bottom-trawling until proper rules can be worked out and criticized the Canadian government for not supporting a moratorium on bottom trawling.
Fisheries Minister Geoff Regan said that while he agreed regional fisheries bodies needed to become more efficient, the idea of a blanket ban on bottom trawling was unrealistic.
"It's clear to us that there are certainly types of (sea) bottoms where bottom-trawling doesn't do significant damage," he told Reuters in a telephone interview.
"Saying (we should) … ban all of it is really a blanket broad brush approach that isn't going to be successful and isn't going to target the key problem," he said.

What price defense?
I am not a committee person, but this committee sounds like another attempt by Congress or the administration to cover their rear ends, so they doesn't have to make hard decisions by themselves. Going back to the last Bush administration, they had a civilian advisory group in the Defense Department composed of supporters of defense contractors. The current Republican candidate for the Senate in California bragged that she had been an adviser for the CIA. This woman outsource 32,000 computer jobs to China.
You can save a bundle of money dumping all of the Star Wars missile defense systems that don't work. You can get rid of all those private defense contractors. Indeed, get all private contractors out of the government. The profit motive does not belong in government.
I haven't regarded China as a military threat since taking some courses in Chinese history in the late '60s. As for Russia, despite their recent inept attempts at espionage, I don't regard them as a military threat. I have always regarded NATO as a defensive alliance, and there is no good reason to move into Russia's sphere of influence. I want out of NATO!
However, there are good reasons to be diplomatically involve in the Far East and the Indian subcontinent. Besides Afghanistan, India and Pakistan, two nuclear nations, are involved in a cold war. There are still bad memories from WWII with regards to Japan that make their neighbors nervous. The main reason we are still in the Korean Peninsula is because North Korea needs to be deterred.
I'll tell you a secret! We could not fight a two-front war with an all-volunteer army, and it certainly doesn't help that our industrial base is outsourced overseas.

The state owned Holland Casino is under heavy financial fire. Recently it has been put under special supervision, due to a rising debt burden of € 60 million, rapidly going on €100 million. The past couple of years the casino encountered financial difficulties, as a result of the rising competition of online gambling companies, high staff expenses for table games such as roulette or blackjack and a loss-making hospitality branch. Holland Casino now attempts to save on costs up to €36 million by making drastic cuts on employee expenses, thus saddling itself up with furious trade unions. Interestingly enough, the state announced that Holland Casino will not receive any financial aid.

The researchers believe a combination of both systems and patient barriers impede adequate abnormal Pap test follow-up. Patient barriers include difficulty in keeping follow-up appointments, limited understanding of the significance of the abnormality and other life-issues taking priority. Systems barriers include failure of the provider to be aware of an abnormal result, and limited capability to systematically track patients who do not keep follow-up appointments. "Our program addressed the systems barriers by giving providers tools to allow them to more easily track subjects after an abnormal Pap test. Our higher baseline follow-up rates may already reflect some of the benefits of an EMR system; however, delays persisted without a tracking system," said Dupuis.

From Barnes & NobleThe Barnes & Noble Review
Take a universe into your hands. Then shape it, twist it, to your heart's content. In other words, build your own game levels. Introduction to Level Design for PC Games will show you how.
Andy Clayton covers level design from planning and architecture through exporting to game engines and editors. Most important -- and right up front -- he offers practical guidance on creating hugely playable levels. (Which is, of course, the whole point.) Clayton helps you think about design metaphors, "backstory" and player challenges, and each of the "classic" elements of design -- form, space, light, shadow, texture, color, and so forth.
Along the way, you'll master gmax, the free tool that lets you create new assets and levels for many of the world's leading games. (Gmax 1.2 is on the CD-ROM, along with all the tutorial files and sample levels for Unreal Tournament and Quake III Arena.)
After introducing the gmax interface, Clayton shows how to use it to create terrain and buildings, design and change objects with gmax's powerful Editable Mesh tools, and use it to create textures and mapping. (If, like many game designers, you prefer to create your textures with Photoshop, that's covered too, with sample projects walking you through creating rust, forest growth, dirt, and "mechanical" panels and bolts.)
Clayton wraps up with a full chapter case study on creating a Quake III Arena level with Tempest, a gmax variant that gives you virtually unlimited control over how the latest Quake looks and plays. Bill Camarda

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: David O. Staats, MD (University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center)
Description: This is a multiauthored guide, mostly by Australian authors, to medications for older adults.
Purpose: Its purpose is to review the wide variety of settings and contexts in which medications are given to and taken by older persons. This is a worthy objective and the book comes at issues of medication in older persons from a number of perspectives.
Audience: The audience here is broad — pharmacists, nurses, prescribers, and policy makers. The authors bring a wide range of knowledge to bear on the subject.
Features: In 12 chapters over 127 pages, the book concisely discusses the use of medications from a variety of perspectives. These include social policies, ethics, electronic medical records and electronic prescriptions, medication errors, and the impact of medications on nutrition.
Assessment: There is an interesting pyramid-shaped representation of the interfaces of the pharmaceutical manufacturers, prescribers, consumers, and regulators. There are a number of tables describing errors in giving medications to older persons and what to do about them. There is a useful diagram of adverse drug actions in older persons. This book discusses these things philosophically, making them applicable to a wide variety of settings.

Lost Mendelssohn works airing before 200th b-day
Mendelssohn died at 38 in 1847, just before nationalist revolutions swept Europe. Among the German nationalists was the anti-Semitic composer Richard Wagner, who wrote the screed "Judaism in Music" in 1850, condemning works by Jews.
"What issues from the Jews' attempts at making art must necessarily therefore bear attributes of coldness and indifference, even to triviality and absurdity," Wagner wrote.
Somary said that within six years of that publication, Mendelssohn's music went from by far the most performed in Central Europe to not performed at all.
Wagner and his sympathizers plotted "to posthumously assassinate" Mendelssohn, Somary said.
He hopes the concert and the project will elevate Mendelssohn's stature.
"There was something incomplete about him, something incomplete about the public's perception," Somary said. "His music was so extraordinary but yet it was never given the same attention as others of the same quality."

Federer ready to defend Wimbledon title the hard way
More News from Agence France-Presse
LONDON — Roger Federer insists he is capable of surviving a nightmare draw at Wimbledon as the defending champion prepares to launch his bid for a record eighth title at the All England Club.
After a relatively barren year, Federer arrives at the grass-court Grand Slam in the unusual position of being seen by many pundits as the least likely of the big four to leave with the title.
To make matters worse, the Swiss legend faces a gruelling draw that will leave him needing to beat Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic if he is to pass Pete Sampras as the most decorated All England Club champion.
With French Open champion Nadal seeded fifth due to his long injury absence, Federer has the unpalatable prospect of taking on the Spaniard in the last eight before a potential semi-final meeting with US Open champion Murray and a final showdown with world number one Djokovic.
Federer's victory on grass at Halle last week was his first ATP Tour title of 2013 and last year's Wimbledon final win over Murray remains his only Grand Slam crown in his last 13 major appearances.
The 31-year-old father of two is clearly entering the twilight of his magnificent career, yet he is convinced he can prove the critics wrong with another triumph at the tournament he regards as a home from home.
"It was never supposed to be easy winning Grand Slams. I'm ready for the challenge," Federer said on Sunday.
"I like tough draws. I don't shy away from them. There's no control over it anyway. That's up to the draw to decide.
"I have a very difficult draw with Rafa being in my quarter. But my focus is on the first round. If you want to win the tournament here, you anyway have to beat the best. That's what I'm here for."
Nadal's low seeding attracted criticism given the Spaniard's record at Wimbledon, where he has won the title twice, and his current fine form should have seen him placed above fourth seed David Ferrer.
But Federer said: "There's been a lot of talk about where Rafa would be seeded. For me, it's not even worth the talk because it is what it is. It's not like he's unseeded.
"He is seeded in the top eight, so you don't face him in the first round and the quarter-finals are still a long way away."
Federer also named British hope Murray as the most likely champion from his three main rivals.
Fuelled by a determination to make amends for last year's Wimbledon final loss to Federer, Murray routed the Swiss to win the gold medal at the London Olympics and then ended his long wait for a maiden Grand Slam title by defeating Djokovic at the US Open.
"I think Murray played great last year throughout Wimbledon and the Olympics, and now again at Queen's," Federer said.
"I would think he has less pressure now and he seems like maybe most natural on this surface.
"The other guys, Rafa and Novak, are already Wimbledon champions. But to me Andy sort of stands out a little bit over the others."
For Federer, this year's Championships are also a time for reflection as he looks back to his first Wimbledon title against Mark Philippoussis 10 years ago.
Federer, who will open Monday's Center Court program against Romania's Victor Hanescu, said:
"It's been an unbelievable 10 years. I'm forever grateful for the first Wimbledon title.
"The first time I was able to lift up the trophy, this is when the dream began of having an amazing career.
"I look back on the memories, emotions, reactions. It's all happened a bit too fast for my liking, but I'm happy I'm still contending for the title.
"Being back 10 years later as defending champion is quite unique, so I'm very excited."

Former champion Petra Kvitova beat fellow Czech Lucie Safarova in straight sets on Thursday to enter the Wimbledon final.
Sixth seed Kvitova won 7-6 (8-6) 6-1 in the first all-Czech semi-final at a Grand Slam.
The 2011 champion will now face either third seed Simona Halep or 13th seed Eugenie Bouchard in Saturday's final, and is hoping to win a second Grand Slam title.
Kvitova and Safarova are good friends, Fed Cup team-mates and train at the same club in Prostejov.
At 24, Kvitova was the younger by three years, but the senior partner in terms of achievement.
A Grand Slam winner already, she had a 5-0 record against Safarova, a heavier serve and more potent attacking game - but Safarova was far from overawed on her Centre Court debut.
According to the BBC, Kvitova gave her familiar yelp of delight after entering second Grand Slam final.
