Warrant alleges women sold sex for drugs in BenningtonBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 02,2013BENNINGTON One of three warrants executed last month in an investigation that involved a local businessman was released Friday and describes an alleged ring of women in the Bennington area who acted as prostitutes, at times in exchange for drugs or money for drugs.
Local media requested the warrants, two of which were served against a prominent local businessman, be released last week. Judge Cortland Corsones ruled on Tuesday that the two warrants served against the home and business of Thomas Lyons, the owner of Bennington Subaru, would be sealed but he released the third warrant Friday.
Corsones did not explain why the other warrants would remain sealed in his order.
The warrant allowed for the search of a room rented by Jennifer Onorato, 31, at a hotel on Route 7 in Bennington. The warrant was redacted, which means that some information was not made public.
In an affidavit submitted in support of the warrant, Detective Anthony Silvestro, of the Bennington Police Department, said he had interviewed Kayla Foucher, 23, of Bennington, Sept. 24.
According to Silvestro, Foucher told him that Onorato, who Foucher said was a friend, offered to introduce her to a man named Jason Balsh.
The affidavit does not provide any identifying information about Balsh such as his age or his hometown.
In a separate affidavit, filed against Preston Foster, 50, of Bennington, in a drug case, Silvestro is cited as telling another officer about at least two women who he believed were involved in prostitution which included trading sex for drugs.
Silvestro said he believed the women may be connected to a website for escorts out of Troy, N.Y., that he believed was run by Balsh.
In the affidavit filed for the warrant, Silvestro said Foucher told him that when she contacted Balsh he asked her if she ever thought about hooking. According to the affidavit, Foucher said she was willing to do it and had Onorato send photos of her to Balsh.
Foucher told Silvestro that her photo would be sent to men who would decided if they wanted to hook up.
Silvestro said Foucher explained that she would agree that she was going to go out on a specific day. She would be told how to dress and gave information on exactly what she was wearing to Balsh.
Foucher said she would walk on School, Pleasant or Park streets and if a man drove by three times, he was her client. She would wave to him and he would stop so they could negotiate sexual acts, which would take place in a motel or a car.
According to the affidavit, Foucher told Silvestro about at least three other women who were involved in the same arrangement. In the affidavit released Friday, the last names of the women were blacked out.
However, those names, along with Balsh, were listed in a court order as people with whom Foster was not allowed to have contact. Foster has a pending felony charge of selling cocaine, a misdemeanor charge for possessing cocaine and a misdemeanor charge of prohibited acts for procur(ing) a person for the purpose of prostitution.
Foucher said she wasnt allowed to keep a list of the men who solicited her for sexual acts.
Silvestro said he also accessed Balshs account on Facebook, a popular online social networking site. The staff of the site allowed Silvestro access for the purposes of the criminal investigation.
In the affidavit, Silvestro included what he said was an exchange between Balsh and Onorato about Foucher. The exchanges include questions about Fouchers appearance and comments in which Balsh allegedly said he was tryin (sic) to pimp her and need(s) to sell her.
According to court papers, the only things taken when the search warrant was executed on Jan. 23 were a cellphone and a power cord.
Search warrants were executed at the home of Lyons and at the car dealership Jan. 21. The warrant released on Friday has no public information about Lyons or his involvement, if any, in the investigation.

Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
I freakin' hope so. The more people from SF that are brought over, the better IMO. We get tons of crazy match-ups, and the fans win.
Argh! He should be fighting frank Mir, I don't know why DC has a bug up his ass about fighting Mir. Let DC fight Mark Hunt or Gonzaga, give us Mir vs Barnett and make it the next season of TUF. Do I need to come over their and do your job for you Dana?

"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee
Who is not matched up currently with anyone? If this is true Roy Nelson would be a good first fight for Barnett. I also agree with Joe. Have Frank and Josh fight. That would be a spectacular comain on a pay or main event on a free show.
Barnett vs JDS maybe?
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -

Him and JDS would be a stellar fight too, but I want to see both those guys get a fight in before meeting each other.

Floods survivor Mabel, 97, opens £3m housing scheme
Last updated at 20:21, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A new £3 million housing complex in Cockermouth was officially opened on Friday by its oldest resident.
Mabel Procter, 97, cut a celebration cake to mark the opening of Bridge End Court, on Wakefield Road.
It was built on the site of Manor Court, the Home Group sheltered housing scheme for the over-55s.
Mrs Procter also helped to unveil a memorial bench dedicated to former Manor Court residents who died before being able to return to the new complex.
A housewarming party was held for new residents and their neighbours.
Mrs Procter said: "I feel very honoured and humbled to have been asked to open Bridge End Court.
"I hope we are all as happy as we were in Manor Court but it is sad that some of the former residents are not here.
"I want to say thank you to everybody and I wish the residents a happy time here for many years."
Mrs Procter was the last person to be rescued from Manor Court when it flooded in November 2009. She was famously pictured soon after with then Prime Minister Gordon Brown when he visited the Sheep and Wool Centre, where hundreds of flood victims were evacuated to.
She then spent time at the Dales Care Home in Maryport before moving into a flat in Wakefield Road.
Mrs Proctor is one of 10 residents to move back into Bridge End Court, which contains 38 apartments, many of which overlook the River Derwent.
The level of the ground floor has been raised to combat any flood issues.
Mrs Procter said: "There is a lot of difference but there is still a lovely atmosphere and it is very pleasant here.
"It hasn't always been easy but I have had good people to help me all along the way and I just hope that I will not have to move again."
The building has lifts to allow easier access to its three floors, and there will also be an area for the storage of electric mobility scooters.
Sharon Hodgson, project manager, said: "Everybody thought it would be a good idea to hold a small housewarming party.
"Although we have returning residents, some of the residents did not live in Manor Court and are new to the neighbourhood.
"The event has been a good way to get to know each other, and by inviting people in from the surrounding streets it has been a good way to build some community bonds."
Elsa Brailey, head of development for the North West for Home Group, added: "We are very proud of this development.
"We have got super apartments and all the residents are very positive."
One of the new residents is Doris Dixon, 73, who said: "It is very well built and the rooms are very spacious.
"I am pleased to move in here. I used to live in a detached house and all I have lost is a little bedroom."
Work has already started on the second phase of the project, which will see 21 family homes built on neighbouring St Leonard's Close, with 15 three-bedroom properties and six two-bedroom homes.
Work on the St Leonard's Close homes is due to be finished just before Christmas.

Bald eagle in ADT block
IF you don't believe me, download the block and see for yourself:
Some time ago I was working with Guy Ziv's advanced display text block for NXT-G. I noticed something rather strange. everytime I selected the block, something appeared in the "display preview window" I couldn't see it properly, it is only there for a fraction of a second, a short flash. I managed to take a screenshot, and I was utterly surprised...
I saw a bald eagle!
I'm not shure wether this is a weird glitch, or a "easter egg" planted in by Guy.

Relief with a Ship Scene
The incomplete scene at the top of this fragment of a relief from a tomb shows the legs of two butchers and the massive body of the steer they are cutting up to make offerings of meat for the spirit of the tomb owner. In the separate scene below, a sailor climbs the rigging of a billowing sail. Ancient ships traveled up the Nile (south) with sails raised, because the prevailing winds came from the north. When going downstream, the crew lowered the mast and used their oars. Two crew members are partially preserved at the bottom edge. One appears to be waving at the climber and shouting the warning inscribed above him, which reads, "Look out for the ropel"

What Do We Know About Tennis Racquets?
The Donnay wheels started spinning in 1910 when Emile Donnay founded the company. "In 1934, the Donnay company built its first wooden tennis racket." By 1969, Donnay brand tennis racquets were the choice of the world's top players including Rod Laver, Margaret Court, Cliff Dysdale, Bjorn Borg and Andre Agassi. Want to know who's playing with us now? Check out our current list of Donnay tennis pros at: http://www.donnayusa.com/pros.php.
"Donnay is a heritage tennis brand for the ages. Donnay racquets have been used to win every major tennis tournament in the world and continues its heritage today" with the Donnay X-Series™ racquets which use XēneCore™ technology. "XēneCore's multiple core and versatility enabled Donnay to create "Shock Armour," where cavities are closed and open to prevent the dissemination of shock to the arm. As a result, the game of tennis is able to advance to the next level of performance while gaining control, stability and safety."
For the first time in tennis, racquets can provide safety without limiting performance.

A bikini or two-piece is a type of women's swimsuit, characterized by two separate parts — one covering the breasts (optionally in the case of the Monokini), the other the groin (and optionally the buttocks), leaving an uncovered area between the two garments. It is often worn in hot weather or while swimming. The shapes of both parts of a bikini closely resemble women's underwear, and the lower part of a bikini can therefore range from the more revealing thong or g-string, to briefs, and modest square-cut shorts.
Bikini was invented by French engineer Louis Réard in 1946 and he named it after the Bikini Atoll, which was the site of a nuclear weapon test called Operation Crossroads on July 1, 1946 in the Pacific. The reasoning for the name was that the burst of excitement created by it would be like a nuclear device. Monokini, a bikini variant, derives its name, as a back formation, from bikini, interpreting the first syllable as the Latin prefix bi- (meaning "two" or "doubled") and substituting for it mono- (meaning "one"). Jacques Heim called his bikini precursor the Atome (named for its size), while Louis Réard claimed to have "split the Atome" to make it smaller.
Bikini is the most popular beachwear around the globe, which is, according to French fashion historian Olivier Saillard, due to "the power of women, and not the power of fashion", as he explains, ""The emancipation of swimwear has always been linked to the emancipation of women." By mid 2000s, these two-piece bathing suits eveolved into an US$ 811 million business annually, according to the NPD Group, a consumer and retail information company. The bikini has boosted spin-off services like bikini waxing and the sun tanning industries.
Two-piece garments worn by women for athletic purposes have been observed on Greek urns and paintings, dated as early as 1400 BC.
Ancient artwork dating back to the Diocletian period (286-305 AD) in Villa Romana del Casale outside the town of Piazza Armerina, Sicily have depicted women in garments resembling modern-day bikinis. The Roman villa with its large and complex collection of Roman mosaics is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Images of ten women, dubbed the "Bikini Girls", playing in clothing that would pass as bikinis today are the most replicated mosaic among the 37 million colored tiles found at the site. Depicted on the floor of the room dubbed as the "Chamber of the Ten Maiden" (Sala delle Dieci Ragazze in Italian), the mosaic was excavated by Gino Vinicio Gentile in the period 1950-60. The bikini girls are shown in the artwork dubbed as "Coronation of the Winner", performing various exercises including weight-lifting, discus throwing, running, and ball-games, while one woman in toga is depicted with a crown in hand and one of the Maidens is holding a palm frond in hand.
In ancient Rome, the bikini-style bottom, a wrapped loincloth made of cloth or leather, was called subligar or subligaculum (meaning "little binding underneath") while a band of cloth or leather to support the breasts was called strophium or mamillare. One such bottom, made of leather, from the time of Roman Britain was displayed Museum of London in 1998. Martial, a Latin poet from Hispania who published between AD 86 and 103, satirized an female athlete who played ball in a bikini-like garb.
In 1907, Australian swimmer and performer Annette Kellerman was arrested on a Boston beach for wearing a form-fitting one-piece suit that became the generally accepted swimsuit for women by 1910. Her pictures wearing that garb was produced as evidence in the Esquire magazine versus United States Postmaster General legal battle for indecency as late as in 1943.
In 1913, inspired by the introduction of female athletes into Olympic swimming events, the designer Carl Jantzen made the first truly functional two-piece swimwear, a close-fitting one-piece with shorts on the bottom and short sleeves up top. The swimsuit apron, a popular design for early swimwear, disappeared by 1918, leaving a tunic covering the shorts. Though matching stockings were still worn, bare legs were exposed from the bottom of the trunks to the top of the shorts. With the advent of new material like lastex and nylon, the swimsuit by 1934 started hugging the body and was constructed to allow shoulder straps to be lowered for tanning. Burlesque and vaudeville performers wore two-piece outfits in the 1920s, and in 1932 French designer Madeleine Vionnet offered an exposed midriff in an evening gown. Then, in 1935, American designer Claire McCardell cut out the side panels of a maillot-style bathing suit that is seen as the bikini's forerunner.
Two-piece swimsuits started appearing in the US, without the usual skirt panel and other superfluous material, when the U.S. Government ordered a 10 percent reduction in the fabric used in woman's swimwear in 1943 as part of wartime rationing. Films of holidaymakers in Germany in the 1930s show women wearing two-piece bathing suits. They were to be seen again a year later in Gold Diggers of 1933. The elaborately and lavishly assembled Busby Berkeley film spectacle, Footlight Parade of 1932 showcases stunning aquachoreography that profusely featured what could only be regarded as bikini swimwear. Mack Sennett's Bathing Beauties series (1914-1919) and Dorothy Lamour's The Hurricane (1937) also shown two-piece bathing suits.
By early 1940s two-piece swimsuits were seen frequently on American beaches. The July 9, 1945 issue of Life shows women in Paris wearing similar items. Hollywood stars like Ava Gardner, Rita Hayworth and Lana Turner all tried out similar swimwear or beachwear by then. Pin ups of Hayworth and Esther Williams in the garb were widely distributed.
The modern bikini was introduced by French engineer Louis Réard and fashion designer Jacques Heim in Paris in 1946. Louis Réard was a car engineer by training, but by 1946 he was running his mother's lingerie boutique near Les Folies Bergères in Paris. Jacques Heim was working on a prototype for a new kind of beach costume. It comprised two pieces, the bottom was large enough to cover its wearer's bellybutton. In May 1946, he unveiled his invention and advertised it as the world's "smallest bathing suit". He sliced the top off the bottoms and advertised it as "smaller than the smallest swimsuit". The idea struck him when he saw women rolling up their beachwear to get a better tan.
Réard could not find a model who would dare to wear his design. He ended up hiring Micheline Bernardini, a nude dancer from the Casino de Paris as his model. That bikini, a string bikini with a g-string back made out of of clothes with newspaper type printed across, was "officially" introduced on July 5 at a fashion event at Piscine Molitor, a popular public pool in Paris. The bikini was a hit, especially among men, and Bernardini received some 50,000 fan letters. Heim's design was the first to be worn on the beach, but the genre of clothing was given its name by Réard. Reard's business soared, and in advertisements he kept the bikini mystique alive by declaring that a two-piece suit wasn't a genuine bikini "unless it could be pulled through a wedding ring." French newspaper Le Figaro wrote, "People were craving the simple pleasures of the sea and the sun. For women, wearing a bikini signaled a kind of second liberation. There was really nothing sexual about this. It was instead a celebration of freedom and a return to the joys in life."
But, bikini sales did not pick up around the world, and women stuck with more traditional two piece swimsuits. Réard went back to designing orthodox knickers to sell in his mother's shop. Actresses in movies like My Favorite Brunette (1947) and the model on a 1948 cover of Life magazine were shown in traditional two-piece swimwear, not the bikini. In 1950, Time interviewed American swimsuit mogul Fred Cole and reported that he had "little but scorn for France's famed Bikinis," because, according to him they were designed for "diminutive Gallic women". "French girls have short legs," he explained to Time, "Swimsuits have to be hiked up at the sides to make their legs look longer." Modern Girl magazine wrote in 1957, "It is hardly necessary to waste words over the so-called bikini since it is inconceivable that any girl with tact and decency would ever wear such a thing." Movie star Esther Williams commented, "A bikini is a thoughtless act." One writer described it as a "two piece bathing suit which reveals everything about a girl except for her mother's maiden name." According to Kevin Jones, a curator and fashion historian at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, "Réard was ahead of his time by about 15 to 20 years. Only women in the vanguard, mostly upper-class European women embraced it, just like the upper-class European women who first cast off their corsets after World War I."
Brigitte Bardot, who was photographed wearing similar garments on the beaches of Cannes during the Film Festival (1953) and was featured wearing a bikini in And God Created Woman (1956), helped popularize the bikini in Europe in the 1950s and created a market for the swimwear in the US. Photographs of Bardot in bikini on the beaches of Saint-Tropez in French Riviera, according to the The Guardian UK, turned Saint-Tropez into the bikini capital of the world. But, Catholic countries like Spain, Portugal and Italy banned the bikini, and it remained prohibited in many US states. Hays production code for US movies allowed two-piece gowns but prohibited navels on-screen. In 1951 bikinis were banned from the Miss World Contest following the crowning of Miss Sweden in a bikini and subsequent protests with a number of countries threatening to withdraw. National Legion of Decency pressured Hollywood to keep bikinis from being featured in Hollywood movies.
In 1962, an icon was born as Bond Girl Ursula Andress emerged from the sea wearing a white bikini in Dr. No. The Dr. No bikini scene has been quoted as one of the most memorable scenes from the British spy film series. Channel 4 of UK declared it as the top bikini moment in film history, Virgin Media puts it in 9th position in its list of top ten movie bikini, and the top position in the list for top ten Bond girls. The Herald (Glasgow) put the scene as best ever bikini scene on the basis of a poll. It also helped shape the career of Ursula Andress, the look of the quintessential Bond movie. According to Andress, "This bikini made me into a success. That white bikini has been described as a "defining moment in the sixties liberalization of screen eroticism". According to British Broadcasting Corporation, "So iconic was the look that it was repeated 40 years later by Halle Berry in the Bond movie Die Another Day." In 2001, the Dr. No bikini sold at an auction for US$ 61,500.
The appearance of bikinis kept increasing both on screen and off. Sex appeal of bikini, prompted numerous film and television productions, including Dr. Strangelove, as much as public morals. They include the numerous surf movies of the early 1960s. In 1960, Brian Hyland's pop song "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" inspired a bikini-buying spree. By 1963, the movie Beach Party, starring Annette Funicello and Frankie Avalon, led a wave of films that made the bikini a pop-culture symbol. In the time of the sexual revolution in 1960s America, bikinis eventually started getting popular fast. In 1965, a woman told Time it was "almost square" not to wear bikinis, which, given the outlet, suggests she was correct. In 1967 the magazine wrote that "65% of the young set had already gone over." The Playboy first featured a bikini on its cover in 1962. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue debuted two years later. This increasing popularity was reinforced by its appearance in contemporary movies like How to Stuff a Wild Bikini featuring Annette Funicello and One Million Years B.C featuring Raquel Welch. Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, Gina Lollobrigida and Jane Russell helped the growing popularity of bikinis further. Pin up posters of Monroe and Mansfield, as well as Hayworth, Bardot and Raquel Welch distributed around the world contributed significantly to the popularity of bikini.
The 1970s saw the rise of the this lean ideal of female body and models athletic figures like Cheryl Tiegs, who possessed the athletic figure that, for the most part, remains in vogue today. The fitness boom of the 1980s, lead by icons like Jane Fonda, led to one of the biggest leaps in the evolution of the bikini. According to the observations of Mills, "The leg line became superhigh, the front was superlow, and the straps were superthin." That body ideal was carried further by supermodels like Elle Macpherson, who is also known as "the Body" and has featured six times on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
During the 1980s and early 1990s, the one-piece suit made a big comeback. In France, Réard's swimsuit company folded in 1988, four years after the death of Réard whose life of persuading manufacturers who plagiarized his invention ended in 1984. As skin cancer awareness grew and a simpler aesthetic defined fashion in the 1990s, the skimpy bikini took a nosedive in popularity. This new body ideal was epitomized by icons like surf star Malia Jones, who appeared on June 1997 cover of Shape Magazine wearing a halter top two-piece built for rough water. After the 90s, however, it came back strong again. US-based market research company NPD Group reported that sales of two-piece swimsuits nationwide jumped by 80% in two years in mid 2000s. According to Beth Dincuff Charleston, research associate at the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "The bikini represents a social leap involving body consciousness, moral concerns, and sexual attitudes."
Bikini tops come in several different styles and cuts, including a halter-style neck that offers more coverage and support, a strapless bandeau, a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts, that minimizes large breasts, a top with cups similar to a push-up bra, and the more traditional triangle cups that lift and shape the breasts. Bikini bottoms, can also vary in style and cut and in the amount of coverage they offer. Bottom coverage can range anywhere from complete underwear-style coverage, as in the case of more modest bottom pieces like briefs, shorts, or briefs with a small skirt-panel attached, to almost full exposure, as in the case of the thong bikini. Skimpier styles have narrow sides, including V-cut (in front), French cut (with high-cut sides) and low-cut string (with string sides).
A string bikini refers to a bikini swimsuit that is scantier and more revealing than traditional bikinis. It gets its name from the string characteristics of its design. Rather than featuring a full single piece bottom, the string bikini consists of two triangular shaped pieces connected at the groin but not at the sides, where a thin "string" wraps around the waist connecting the two parts. String bikini tops are similar and are tied in place by the attached "string" pieces. String pieces can either be continuous or tied.
It is claimed that Brazilian fashion model Rose de Primallio created the first string bikini when she had to sew one with insufficient fabric available to her for a photoshoot. The first formal presentation of string bikini was done by Glen Tororich, a public relations agent, and his wife Brandi Perret-DuJon, a fashion model, for the opening of Le Petite Centre, a shopping area in the French Quarter of the New Orleans, Louisiana in 1974. Inspired by a picture of a Rio De Janeiro fashion model in an issue of Women's Wear Daily, they had local fashion designer Lapin create a string bikini for the event. Models recruited by talent agent Peter Dasigner presented it by removing fur coats by Alberto Lemon on stage. The presentation was covered by local television stations and the New Orleans Times-Picayune newspaper, and was sent out via the wire news services of the Associated Press and United Press International.
String bikinis are one of the most popular variations of traditional bikinis. A string bikini or thong is also a type of undergarment worn by both men and women. It is similar to but more revealing than a bikini. Women's string bikini underwear normally resembles the bottom of the string bikini bathing suit. Men's string bikini underwear consists of a front and rear section joined at the crotch but not at the sides. The tops of each piece join with either an elastic waistband similar to that found on briefs or to a thin piece of material or "string," leaving the sides exposed except for the string or waistband.
A monokini, sometimes referred to as a unikini, is a woman's one piece beach garment equivalent to the lower half of a bikini. The term is used for different styles of one-piece swimsuits inspired by the bikini.
In 1964, Rudi Gernreich, an Austrian fashion designer, designed the original monokini in the US. Gernreich also invented its name, and the word monokini is first recorded in English that year. Gernreich's monokini looked like a one-piece swimsuit but cut off a bit below the breasts leaving them bare. It had only two small straps over the shoulders. It was not very successful. Many women who wanted to sunbathe topless simply wore the bottom part of a bikini. Manufacturers and retailers quickly adapted to selling tops and bottoms separately. Gernreich later created the lesser known pubikini.
In the 1960s, the monokini led the way into the sexual revolution by emphasizing a woman's personal freedom of dress, even when her attire was provocative and exposed more skin than had been the norm during the more conservative 1950s. Today, many monokinis are designed as the ultimate in sexy swimwear, using chains, strings, and strategic strips of fabric to join the upper and lower portions of the suit while still covering the basics of the female form. Today's styles are decidedly less racy than Gernreich's original design, but nonetheless are a revealing style of swimsuit.
The term monokini is also now used to indicate any topless swimsuit, particularly a bikini bottom worn without a bikini top. In recent years, the term has come into use for topless bathing by women: where the bikini has two parts, the monokini is the lower part. Where monokinis are in use, the word bikini may jokingly refer to a two-piece outfit consisting of a monokini and a sun hat.
A microkini is an extremely skimpy bikini. The designs for both women and men typically use only enough fabric to cover the genitalia. Any additional straps are merely to keep the garment attached to the wearer's body. Some variations of the microkini use adhesive or wire to hold the fabric in place over the genitals. These designs do not require any additional side straps to keep the garment in place. The most radical variations of the microkini are simply thin straps which cover little or none of the wearer's body. The term "microkini" was coined in 1995 in an online community dedicated to enthusiasts of the extreme designs. Microkinis fill a niche between nudism and conservative swimwear. In addition to keeping the wearer just within legal limits of decency, they have also evolved to become the ultimate in provocative sun wear.
The modern microkini's origins can be traced back to the early-1970's in Venice Beach, California, US, where, after legislation was passed banning nudity there, beach regulars began making their own tiny bathing suits to comply with the new laws. The homemade suits were often little more than tiny, remnant pieces of fabric, crudely sewn together with thin twine or fishing line. Then around 1975, a local bikini shop picked up on the idea and began to make more practical styles using modern materials. Soon after, several adult film actresses began wearing the shop's suits in their films and the style began to catch on. Pubikini, an extreme form of microkini, is another bathing suit created by Rudi Gernreich. The pubikini is a small piece of fabric that hugs the hips and buttocks but leaves the pubic region exposed.
This type of swimwear is considered by some to provide modesty closer to a one piece suit with the convenience of a two piece suit, e.g. the entire suit need not be removed in order to use a lavatory. Tankinis come in a variety of styles, colors and shapes, some include features such as integrated push-up bras. A tankini for pregnant women also exists, which is divided in front exposing the navel. It is named the "peekaboo tankini".
Female athletes who play beach volleyball professionally usually wear two-pieces. These bikinis are designed with functionality rather than fashion in mind. In 1994, the bikini became the official uniform of women's Olympic beach volleyball, marking a female sexuality that was also athletic. It also sold tickets. Often the women in athletics also wear bikinis, not much larger than in beach volleyball.
In the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games, inclusion of bikini-clad athletes raised eyebrows, while a controversy broke out around bikini-clad cheerleaders performing at a beach volleyball match. Bikinis stirred up a controversy at the 2006 Asian Games at Doha, Qatar, and the Iraqi team did not wear them. In the 2007 South Pacific Games, players were made to wear shorts and cropped sports tops instead of bikinis. In the same year, fans voted for contestants in the WWE Diva contest after watching them playing beach volleyball in skimpy bikinis. The popularity of Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, a video game for Xbox, was attributed to the skimpily clad women.
The term men's bikini is used to describe types of men's swimsuits or similar garments. It often refers to a speedo although the description would fit several other types of men's wear more appropriately. Men's bikinis can have both high or low side panels and normally rest lower than the true waist, and most lack a button or flap front. Many do not have a visible waistband like briefs. Suits less than 1.5 inches wide at the hips are less common for sporting purposes and are most often worn for recreation, fashion, and sun tanning. An extremely brief version of this style, known as the posing brief, is the standard for competitions in the sport of bodybuilding.
Controversies around the bikini, ranging from woman's body ideals to sense of decency in traditional societies to commercialization of the female form, still keep appearing around the globe. In the 1960s, Emily Post decreed, "(A bikini) is for perfect figures only, and for the very young." In The Bikini Book by Kelly Killoren Bensimon, responding to a question on who should not wear a bikini, swimwear designer Norma Kamali says, "Anyone with a tummy." Since then, a number of bikini designers including Malia Mills have encouraged women of all ages and body types to take up the style. In one section of the Bikini Book, professional beach volleyballer Gabrielle Reece, who competes in a bikini, says that "confidence" alone can make a bikini sexy.
In 1996, when the Miss World contest was held in Bangalore, India, dozens of Indian groups opposed the event claiming that the contest degraded women by featuring them in bikinis. Social activist Subhashini Ali commented, "It's not an IQ test. Neither is it a charity show. It's a beauty contest in which these things have been added on as sops." The protests were so intense that the organizers were finally compelled to shift the venue of the "Swimsuit Round" to Seychelles. Afghan Miss Earth 2003 contestant Vida Samadzai was severely condemned by the Afghan Supreme Court, which said, "such a display of the female body goes against Islamic law and Afghan culture." Bikini related wardrobe malfunctions including wedgies, whale tails or bikini top falling off have also stirred controversies.

HP Notebook PCs - Reducing heat inside the PC to prevent overheating
Heat buildup can cause problems for any computer. Generally, when temperatures inside the case rise above 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), the risk of damaging important internal components increases greatly. The most common cause of overheating is the accumulation of dust inside the computer. The electrical components in a computer generate heat and fans inside the computer help move the air to keep the components cooled to normal operating temperatures. Inadequate cooling can cause excess heat to build up inside the case which can damage components. The sound of the fan running constantly may indicate that the computer is not running as efficiently as possible and that there is a problem with accumulated dust clogging the air vents.
Symptoms of heat issues and causes of excessive heat
The following list describes some of the issues caused by overheating in the computer:
Games stop responding during play.
Windows stops responding during use.
Fans inside the computer become louder because they are spinning faster to remove the heat.
When starting the computer, it sometimes stops at a black screen and does not open into Windows. Windows usually stops responding when it does open.
Mouse and keyboard stop responding.
Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP - Computer unexpectedly restarts or displays a fault message.Windows 95, 98, and Me - Frequent Fatal Exception, Illegal Operation, or General Protection Fault error messages occur in several software programs.
note:These errors are not predictable. If these errors occur only in one software program, the issue is probably related to that software program and is not heat related.
The following list describes some causes of excessive heat:
Dust inside the computer.
A new component, such as a hard drive, is added. The extra component causes the power supply to work harder and generate more heat. Extra heat also radiates off the new component and adds to the temperature inside the case.
Over time, some cooling fans might slow down and wear out, depending on the usage of the computer.
High ambient room temperature.
Step 1: Removing dust and lint by cleaning vents
Notebook PCs have vents located around the case to allow air to flow through the case. If these vents become clogged or heat generating parts become covered with dust, the fan cannot cool the components properly and overheating can become a problem. Lint and dust accumulation prevents air from flowing around the cooling fins and causes the fan to work harder. If there is dust in the vents, you should clean the computer by blowing out the dust from around the fan and heat shield. This prevents dust from accumulating.
Figure : Dust accumulation
Figure : Dust accumulation around fan
caution:Ensure that the computer is turned off and the AC adapter is disconnected before spraying with compressed air to prevent damage to the notebook PC.
Use a can of compressed air (a vacuum cleaner on blow function or a hair dryer in cool air mode can also be used, though the can of compressed air is better suited for this task) to remove dust from the computer's vents and prevent overheating. Removing the dust increases the air flow to improve cooling and allows the fan to run quieter.
The cooling vents are located in various places depending on the PC model. You can identify the vents by looking for the copper or black fins inside the vents. You should also blow the compressed air into other openings such as the fan intake vent to help keep the air circulating and prevent dust from accumulating on components.
Figure : Side vent
Figure : Rear vent
By taking this action periodically as a preventive measure, you can greatly reduce the possibility of component damage and prevent the slowdown of the computer's performance.
Step 2: Ensuring proper space for ventilation
To decrease the likelihood of overheating problems, ensure the fans on your computer are able to ventilate properly. Proper ventilation for the system is important for workstation operation. Follow these guidelines to ensure adequate ventilation:
Keep the computer upright and on a sturdy, level surface.
Provide at least 15.25 centimeters (6 inches) of clearance around each vent.
If the computer is being used at very high altitudes, above 1500 meters (5000 feet), take extra care to keep the computer cool. The maximum limit of 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) drops 1 degree Celsius (~34 degrees Fahrenheit) every ~300 meters (1000 feet) of altitude.
Step 3: Updating BIOS
After releasing a computer, HP regularly provides updates for BIOS and other components. If you know which version of BIOS is running on your computer, you can determine if a newer version is available on the HP website.
Follow these steps to check which version of BIOS is on your computer and if an update is available on the HP website.
Open System Information.
Windows 8
Press the Windows
Type msinfo32 in the search field, and then select msinfo32.exe from the search results.
Windows 7Click Start
In the System Information window, take note of the information to the right of BIOS Version/Date.Figure : System Information
Go to the HP Drivers and Downloads page, and then select your country and language from the list of options.
Click Drivers & Downloads, then in the product field, type your computer model (for example: HP ProBook 450 G1), and then click Go.
From the operating system drop-down menu, select your computer's operating system.
From the list of available updates find the latest version of BIOS.
If the version number for the latest version of BIOS is newer then the version currently on your computer click Download to download the latest version of BIOS.
Step 4: Using HP CoolSense technology
HP CoolSense technology can modify your notebook computer's temperature by using its motion sensor to determine whether the computer is being used in a stationary environment or a mobile one. By using this information it automatically adjusts both computer performance and fan speed to keep the computer cool. You can set HP CoolSense software to your specifications. For more information on this see HP Notebook PCs - HP CoolSense Technology
Step 5: Placing the computer in a cooler room
If your computer is overheating, place it in a cooler room. A small difference in temperature might be all that is needed to prevent a component from failing. Move the computer to a cooler room in the house or office. If this is not an option, continue with the next step.
Step 6: Testing for hardware failure
If overheating issues persist after cleaning the vents and moving the computer to a cooler room, a hardware component might be damaged. Test the computer to see if any hardware, such as memory, the processor, or the graphics hardware, have failed. Most HP and Compaq notebook computers have diagnostic software to verify hardware failures. For more information, see Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8), Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 7), or Checking Your Notebook PC Using the HP System Health Scan for notebook computers running Windows Vista.
If hardware has failed, either replace the bad component or Contact HP for further assistance.

The United Nations recognizes that productivity capacity building is the key for self-sustained growth and graduation of LDCs in Asia and the Pacific. To achieve this objective, substantial financing must be mobilized to invest in infrastructure, social development and climate changechallenges. Despite the significant progresses made by the Asia-Pacific LDCs in restoring macroeconomic stability, deepening the banking sector and attracting FDI and remittances, for many, fiscal spaces remain narrow and financial markets largely inefficient and undiversified.
As the development agenda beyond 2015 takes shape, it is increasingly being recognized that inequality is an impediment to the integration of economic growth, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. Despite high and enduring economic growth and significant progress in terms of poverty eradication, inequalities persist in Asia and the Pacific, and in some instances they have intensified, between women and men, girls and boys, urban and rural areas, and different age and ethnic groups.
The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of regional progress in implementing the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Survey data collected in 2013 from ESCAP countries, and publicly available data suggest that there has been progress in the past decade towards achieving the WSIS objectives. However, progress is incomplete, and in some instances the digital divide has actually increased as more advanced countries have surged ahead in implementation of WSIS objectives.
This Staff working paper explores potential synergies in deploying fiber optic cables for data transmission and other infrastructures, chiefly transport and energy. It provides information on the cost of deploying fibre optics, exploring potential win-win strategies in the co-deployment and cohabitation of fibre and transport infrastructure and drawing lessons from good practices in the Asia- Pacific region and beyond. It contains a set of key policy measures to maximize win-win outcomes, which include synergies with the Asian Highway and Trans-Asian Railway.
Transport services are vital for facilitating the implementation of government policies. An organized public transport service system provides a mechanism for delivering social services, particularly health care and education, to the broader population, including those living in rural areas, which often tend to be poor and in most need of those services. Government policies in terms of budget allocation and fare-setting affect the quality of transport services.
The Asian Highway database is a joint effort by the secretariat and member countries to monitor the development of the Asian Highway network. The Asian Highway database includes comprehensive and detailed data and information on Asian Highway routes in member countries and benchmarks their development status against the Asian Highway design standards stipulated in Annex II to the Intergovernmental Agreement on the Asian Highway Network.
The November 2014 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) leaders' meeting in Beijing has generated momentum behind the proposed Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP). This note reviews the prospects for the FTAAP which are strongly linked to progress in two other large regional trade agreements currently under discussion: the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
The Statistical Yearbook 2014 is an electronic file only, it consists of (1) short analytical texts on 32 selected diverse topics, such as population, education, health, poverty and inequalities, gender, economy, environment and connectivity in the region and related key messages as well as relevant data tables, and (2) country profiles of main development indicators for each of the 58 regional member countries/areas of ESCAP.
The Statistical Yearbook is accompanied by the following products:
Stats Brief, November 2014, Issue no. 02
This handbook serves three purposes, namely: i) to identify best practices in responsible and sustainable banking and finances; ii) to raise awareness and undertake policy advocacy in the area of responsible banking and finance; and iii) to serve as a tool for undertaking capacity development through training and other pertinent programmes. The approach taken to producing this handbook has been to highlight three aspects, namely: i) corporate governance; ii) corporate social responsibility; and iii) corporate sustainability, as they pertain to banks and financial institutions.

Developer: Ninja Theory
Publisher: Capcom
Platforms: Xbox 360, PS3, PC
Release Date: Xbox 360, PS3: January 15th, 2013; PC: January 25, 2013
The notorious action series is getting a reboot by the same developer who brought you Heavenly Sword and Enslaved: Odyssey to the West.
DmC: Devil May Cry is an alternate universe, having no connection to the current/canon of the original series while starting from the beginning of Dante's exploits as a demon hunter, and showing his growth into something similar to the classic counterpart.
The story takes place in Limbo City, a contemporary town secretly controlled from the shadows by powerful demons, manipulating humanity through the comforts of life. Living on the fringes of the brainwashed society is Dante, a disenfranchised youth at odds with the demons who constantly hunt him, and have made his life a living hell for as long as he could remember. Over the course of his battles through the twisted streets of Limbo, Dante is contacted by The Order, a rogue group led by his long-lost brother Vergil, hell-bent on exposing the demons to the world and releasing Limbo City from their clutches. However, as The Order's principle reason for recruiting Dante is because he alone possesses a particular gene that can be used to combat the demons, he remains wary of Vergil and questions his intentions. While Dante fights alongside The Order, he will learn of his past and the family he never knew, while coming to grips with the incredible powers that come with being a Son of Sparda.

I started having issues with one of my servers over the weekend.
A look through the event log told me that it'd been having problems writing to a section of the disk for a few weeks.
I was wondering if there was any (preferably free) software that would monitor the event log and email/notify if errors (preferably configurable) so I could have caught this issue sooner.
I've had a quick look on Google but all the software I seem to be finding is more stats based. Things like http://www.splunk.com/ etc.
Anyone got any suggestions?

This the S-Max concept from Ford, teased online ahead of its official reveal at the Frankfurt motor show next month.
Ford releases new S-Max concept
And it tells you when you're about to have a heart attack. Like it?
Note the distinct lack of concept fluff here - this looks like a pretty decent indication of what's going to replace the current, rather good, seven-year-old MPV. The doors open normally. The engine is a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder EcoBoost unit that runs on petrol, not hemp or children's laughter. And none of the electronic entertainment has a name prefixed with an i.
There are all the usual nods to Ford's new design direction, like the Aston-esque snout, and pronounced rear shoulders we've seen on the Focus and Fiesta. Like the outgoing car, there are also big rims, a roof-mounted spoiler, and bulging wheel arches for added SPORT.
Inside, things get slightly more ridiculous. There is an ECG heart rate-monitoring driver's seat, which lets locally connected doctors know if you're about to expire, as well a glucose monitor that runs through Ford's MyFord Touch infotainment system. And therefore probably doesn't work. Otherwise, there are four seats with a fifth, centre-rear seat that folds flat into the floor to create a walk-through cabin.
There's a wave of actual new Ford kit in there, though, like a pre-collision system with automatic braking, and a version of the company's self-parking system that controls the throttle, steering, brakes, and gear changes for parallel-parking manoeuvres.
Ford also tells us that the colour palette was inspired by the last Milan Furniture Fair, and uses dark brown colours, metal finishes that change from matte to polished in the same component, and "remarkably expensive" silk carpeting. Fabulous.
Think all this luxo fluff is a bit much for a work-a-day S-Max? Actually, this model has sneaked a fair chunk of buyers away from more upmarket brands, and up to 70 per cent of owners opt for the pricey Titanium trim, nearly £2000 more on the current lineup...

Overall I'm in programming for about 8 years now and it seems to me that I'm relying more and more on open source libraries and snippets (damn you GitHub!) to "get the job done". I know that in time I could write me own implementation but I like to focus on the overall design.
Is this normal (non corporate environment)? Does it make you a bad programmer if "programming" is nothing more than cluing different libraries together. Feels like it.
I know about "don't reinvent the wheel" but what happens when you don't invent a single wheel anymore.
What's your take on this?
