Damon Dash (born May 3, 1971) also known by Dame Dash is an American entrepreneur. Dash was formerly Jay-Z's manager and business partner at Roc-a-Fella Records, and in 1999, he organized a tour for Jay-Z which made $19 million. However, their relationship soured as a result of two subsequent events. The first was when Roc-A-Fella Records was purchased by Def Jam Recordings (which had previously only owned half of the company) in 2004, after which Jay-Z agreed to take a job as Def Jam's president. Then, in the fall of 2005, Jay-Z bought Dash out of his stake in Rocawear.

Boeing is patenting a system designed to deter hijackers (US 2004/0162670). In future, it suggests planes would have an extra autopilot system that would take over and land the aircraft at the nearest predetermined landing site in the event of a hijacking.
If sensors detect a breach of the cockpit door, or the air crew press a panic button, conventional controls would be disconnected and an uninterruptible computer would take over to run the extra autopilot. This, Boeing says, "removes any type of human decision process" - and should deter hijackers.

World number one Garry Kasparov tied his final game with the chess program X3D Fritz, meaning the exciting and sometimes emotional tournament ended in a draw. Experts say that although computers keep getting faster and smarter, humans seem to be keeping up.
"Machines are getting better, but we humans are also learning," said Kasparov after the fourth and final game on Tuesday. "Today, I know much more about computers than six years ago." The human chess legend famously lost to the program Deep Blue in 1997.
After a tied first game, followed by a win each for Kasparov and Fritz, the match score was 2 - 2. Kasparov's victory was achieved via long-term strategy, while Fritz's win stemmed from its ability to ruthlessly capitalise on human blunders. Experts described the final game as a display of "perfect chess" from both teams.
"Kasparov adopted the right match strategy. He wanted to guarantee above all that he didn't lose," says Jonathan Schaeffer, of the computer science games group at the University of Alberta, Canada. "The stakes were high for both sides in terms of pride."
Current human world champion Vladimir Kramnik drew against an earlier version of Fritz in October 2002 in an eight game tournament. Fritz has also beaten Deep Blue in the past.
Open and closed
Tuesday's game was the shortest of the tournament, concluding in less than two hours and just 27 moves. It was evenly balanced from the beginning.
Playing white, Fritz kept the game open, a situation that typically favours the computer. Open games involve more possibilities per move and so enable computers to exploit their advantage in performing "brute force" calculations.
This contrasted sharply with Sunday's game, which Kasparov won by keeping it closed. In closed games the human has the advantage as there is more opportunity to implement a long term strategy, which computers cannot spot.
Kasparov has played a similar game against humans in the past, always ending in a draw. But this time, the open game may have been more nerve-wracking for him because of the computer's inherent advantage. "He knows this position well, he just isn't happy about having to play against a computer," observed commentator Mig Greengard.
Man versus machine
Despite this, Kasparov defended consistently and diffused any chances of a computer victory. He spent 20 minutes successfully dodging the loss of his Queen on move 13. But commentators confirmed throughout that at no point did either side have a chance to win.
The result fails to close the human versus machine debate. "Until programs can formulate long term plans, they will still lose games like game three," says Schaeffer. "But I personally expect computers to push ahead eventually."
John Fernandez, consultant to X3D Fritz, is not so sure. "Man and machine will keep pulling each other up," he says. "It is still an open question."

Hardware for the indespensible tool
Can anyone tell me what hardware to use to create the pivot point for the indispensable tool ? I have access to a welder to make this item up if necessary. I am in the planning stage of constructing my first oven and am starting to stage materials. The only portion of the oven completed is the foundation. As soon as the temperature allows, I plan to start construction.
Spring time in New England should occur sometime next month.
Re: Hardware for the indespensible tool
Do a search for IT and you will find all kind of examples of ITs as well as pivot point hardware used.
Re: Hardware for the indespensible tool
Did the IT search and found the details required to build the tool.
Thanks for the quick response.

Even trace amounts of oil could do massive damage to marine life in the Galapagos, suggests a paper in Nature this week (vol 417, p 607). Martin Wikelski of Princeton University, New Jersey, found that 62 per cent of marine iguanas living on Santa Fe island died during 2001. He and his team think that a tanker spill is to blame, even though most of the oil was washed away from the islands by wind and currents. The oil killed off bugs in the iguanas' guts that let them digest seaweed, they say, forcing them to starve to death.

When Brenda Hoskins was studying interior design, the joke among her peers was that her idea of a monochromatic color scheme was using just one color wheel. She found a like-minded client in John Burciaga, who recently hired Hoskins to transform his Phoenix house into a welcoming home for his new wife, Linda Lu. Before Hoskins, owner of the Scottsdale, Ariz., design firm Fine Library Resource, came on the scene, Burciaga's 1,900-square-foot home was painted entirely in Navajo White. Now its walls are covered with 11 different colors, with nary a white among them.
After conducting separate "color interviews" with the newlyweds, Hoskins combined their favorite shades to create an eye-popping palette that ranges from rich red to vivid violet to tangy tangerine.
Architectural Focus
Beyond the sheer boldness of the palette, what stands out is the way Hoskins uses color to detail architecture. "After I have the palette, I like to sit alone with the building and see how it's put together," says Hoskins, who is an architectural illustrator as well as an interior designer. "I have a big wad of colors that I know my clients like, so it frees me to look at planes and columns."
Throughout the home, Hoskins uses color to highlight existing columns, beams and windows – even stair risers – in a technique borrowed from renowned Mexican architect Luis Barragan. But then she goes further, using color to create new architectural shapes that salute both the owner's Mexican heritage and the landscape.
"In the main living room, the tangerine shape is symbolic of a Native-American pueblo," Hoskins says. "The red of the bar that slices through the blue wall is meant to symbolize the red rocks of Sedona. And the blue on the ceiling takes the mountains up to the sky. As you're sitting in the living room, you should have the feeling that you're completely surrounded by Arizona."
Throughout the project, one of Hoskins' biggest challenges was getting the darkest colors in the palette, particularly the Rave Red and Kimono Violet, to appear as rich on the home's surfaces as they appeared on the sample card.
"Sherwin-Williams paint, to me, has the richest palette," Hoskins says. "But we needed several coats of Rave Red on the master bedroom ceiling to get it how we wanted it."
The room's popcorn ceiling was the major reason. "Popcorn ceilings always soak in wetness," says Terry Cox, assistant manager at the Sherwin-Williams store on Cave Creek Road in Phoenix, and the person who mixed the paints for the Burciaga home. "That's why they take numerous coats, regardless of the color."
A Range of Finishes
Hoskins used Sherwin-Williams' SuperPaint® Interior on surfaces throughout and, depending on the natural light and aesthetic expectations in a given room, chose flat, Eg-Shel or gloss finish.
Color's capacity to change with the light, although challenging for a designer, is also one of its most exciting features, Hoskins says. "An all-white house doesn't change much in the course of a day. But with color, it changes all day long. The shadows and the light are constantly moving. Then, at night, when lamps are next to the walls, you get these very rich pools of color. It's wonderful."
Color Matchmaking Tips
Conduct a "color interview."It's the first thing Brenda Hoskins does when working with a set of new clients. Interview family members separately so each person reveals his or her own color preferences and isn't influenced or overshadowed by other family members.
Create a palette built on shared preferences. "Her way of getting us to identify the colors we liked individually really helped," says homeowner John Burciaga. "Once we saw what we had in common, we knew those were the colors we wanted in our home."
Bring out the boldness in your clients. Hoskins used her Sherwin-Williams color box to help family members see color possibilities. "That makes it easier to encourage clients to take big color risks."
Use a gray-tinted basecoat under some bold colors. The Sherwin-Williams Color Prime– System provides a continuum of gray shades that maximize color and coverage for certain deep, bright or transparent paint topcoats.

The question and answer is translated as such:
(Thank you to Reddit user 'Edamus' for the find and initial translation and @cjewett1987 for the translation confirmation)Question: "Are you going to go into the ring this year? I want to see an Akiyama fight!"
Sexyama: "I'm certainly entering this year! Of course in the UFC!"
Akiyama has not fought since a unanimous decision loss to recent UFC cut, Jake Shields, in Japan. To put things into perspective of how long it's been since Akiyama fought... Frankie Edgar was still lightweight champion, Rory MacDonald would demolish Che Mills in the UFC 145 co-main a month later and the UFC made their debut on Fuel TV about a week before UFC 144.
And you have to go all the way back to Akiyama's eye-opening debut on UFC 100 (in 2009!) for his last victory. Thiago Alves just had his first fight in two years, so maybe that is a sign of good things to come for Akiyama and all his fans. I know I don't speak for myself when I say we need more of this and this (I find it interesting that Hector Lombard and Akiyama both hit mesmerizing throws on Jake Shields).

I'm noticing that the older we get the more difficult it becomes to make new friendships. When we're little, a simple "hello, I like your shirt" is enough to forge a bond that lasts until one of you steals the other's crush. At any rate, when we get into our mid to late twenties, your peers get harder to approach and if you do manage to strike a conversation it doesn't go beyond acquaintance territory. People seem to be really resistant to expanding their circles; the so-called ice is harder to break than ever. Friends of friends have provided with a slightly better friend/acquaintance ratio. But even so, friends go abroad, move out, and hell, they're even starting to get married/have kids. Leaving us with a smaller pool of friends (not to say marriage ends friendships, but it definitely changes them). I am writing this as a form of mutual brainstorm; I want to come up with the most effective ways to make friends as an adult. Here are some of my ideas:
- Get a job. There are real live humans working there, however, depending on the job, you may have very little in common with them. We all need money, so you probably need a job.
- College. As you further your education you'll meet people that have very similar interests whom will spend a lot of time with you provided you are approachable and studious. You'll see some of them quarter after quarter even. Only bad side of this is if you start dating/break up things could get awkward since you can't really avoid them. If you go here, it's hard not to make friends.
- Join random internet meetups. Danger and awkwardness level is high, but it's not too bad specially if you're just moving in to a new area. Do sparingly.
- Co-ed sports team/league. You get to exercise (a little) and from my experience this is basically and excuse to drink and meet some active and outgoing people. High chance of meeting cute girls/guys. Takes some guts to join by yourself.
- Old friends. Say hi to that buddy of yours who you haven't seen in months, take your friend out of a coffee or some beers. This is almost like dating, with a courtship of sorts, you have to show your best self. There's no romance though, or there could be? You do risk finding out that this friend actively wanted out of the friendship, but eh, the reward is worth it.
Do you have any other ideas of how to make friends as an old and withering young adult?

YIELD: 64 marshmallows
Brush bottom and sides of metal pan with some vegetable oil.
Put 1/2 cup water in bowl of stand mixer and sprinkle gelatin over it. Stir it briefly to make sure all the gelatin is in contact with water and let it soften while making the syrup.
Heat sugar, corn syrup, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring until sugar has dissolved, then bring to a boil over medium heat, without stirring.
Put thermometer into syrup and continue boiling, without stirring, until it registers 240°F (soft-ball stage). Remove from heat and let stand until bubbles dissipate.
With mixer at low speed, pour hot syrup into gelatin in a thin stream down side of bowl. Increase speed to high and beat until very thick and the mixture forms a thick ribbon when beater is lifted, about 5 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
Scrape marshmallow into pan (it will be very sticky) and spread evenly with dampened fingertips to smooth the top. Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature until surface is no longer sticky and you can gently pull marshmallow away from sides of pan with your fingertips, 2 to 3 hours.
Using a sieve, dust a cutting board with confectioners' sugar. Use a spatula to pull sides of marshmallow from edge of pan, then invert onto cutting board. Dust top with confectioners' sugar. Cut lengthwise into 8 strips, then crosswise into eighths, to form a total of 64 squares.
Coat marshmallows, one at a time, in confectioners' sugar, shaking off excess.
Cooks' Note: Marshmallow squares keep, layered between sheets of wax paper or parchment paper in an airtight container, in a dry place at cool room temperature 1 month.

Despite the incredible functionality of smartphones, these electronic gadgets have also paved the way for the critical issue of security. Smartphones, in its semi-operative definition, are those mobile phones which boast of advanced and high-end capabilities similar to the workings of a computer. Smartphones can let you surf the web, access your email, download applications and a lot more. As years elapse, the prototypical features of the smartphones evolve and increase just as they do with other devices.
A smartphone may look like a handset but its power is almost close to that of a laptop computer. For purposes of comparison, it may even earn the moniker 'mini-computer.' And if the computer's health can be threatened by a number of viruses, malwares, and Trojan horses, our smartphones should also be equipped with the right kind of security software that will hamper the occurrence of hacking and information and identity theft. As a smartphone user we have to be ready for attacks of those kinds so that our handset will remain vigorous in their service to us. Otherwise, choose to sell cell phones for cash.
Who among you always want to use your smartphone in public hotspots? Or places which are known to have a good wireless internet connection? To scare you off a bit, did you know that the public hotspots you frequently visit for free internet access can be a den of IT thieves and malicious hackers? These locations are unencrypted and whatever information you are sending across their network connection can be easily obtained and used by an intelligent hacker.
If you think anti-virus software is enough to impede the plans of these evildoers, don't rest on your laurels just yet. There is also a wide array of software tools that can go past the throes of the anti-virus programs and gather the information available. Know this before an intelligent hacker gets to pry open the security walls of your mobile phone.
Sometimes, security issues can also stem from downloading unnecessary applications. For some reasons- which can be too technical for the average readers- we can unwittingly allow the attacker to use our phones as a remote listening device. This means he can be granted remote access to our emails, online banking accounts, voicemails, and text messages. If this happens, you will regret that you weren't able to sell your phone immediately.
Congruent to the computer threats that you can also experience on your smartphone are the viruses, worms, and Trojans that can be contracted through email attachments. But another obvious danger you can have with your phone is that the gizmo is easier lose and be stolen than a computer. And that is another security issue.
If you ever are lucky protecting your phone from online harm, chances are you will have to secure your phone physically: You need to protect it from being snatched, stolen, or lost while travelling, in which case, you should have at least heeded my suggestion to sell cell phone for cash.
So those are some of the things you need to consider to ensure the security of your phone. Be a careful owner of a smartphone!

The filter setting gives you granular control over what content displays within each panel. For a task list, you might want to filter it so it only shows incomplete tasks. With this filter, once you mark a task complete, it no longer displays, but you still have a record of it.
For your Inbox, you might want to only show unread messages or messages from a specific sender or ones on a certain subject. Panels are also highly interactive with other panels, giving you the ability to easily drag items from one to another. For example, if you want to add an e-mail message to your task folder, simply drag it to that panel. It will appear as a task with all the appropriate attributes, including the new percentage-complete feature discussed later in this article.
You can also turn any folder or combination of folders into a home view, allowing you to switch home views by simply clicking between tabs. For example, by day you might be a working professional, but at night you teach a university class. Your home view at the office might include a project calendar, this week's tasks, a team workspace, an RSS news feed, unread e-mail and a few favorite Web sites. But for the university you might have a different home view that shows your monthly class schedule; your student address book (complete with student photos); a discussion thread of questions students have e-mailed you; and a documents folder that contains your syllabus, handouts and slideshows. You can easily customize and switch between these home views to help you be as productive as possible in each setting.
You also have the ability to share your home view settings with others. This provides users with a way to easily share best practices for personal productivity. Sharing also helps you maintain corporate standards. You can easily provide employees with home views tailored to the needs of their roles and then allow fine tuning for even greater levels of efficiency.
You might just find that with the ability to pull Web pages, team workspaces, RSS feeds, external and internal calendars, contacts, and task management into your home view, you seldom have to leave the comfort and efficiency of your GroupWise personal assistant.
External Calendaring
Business, social and technology trends have blurred the lines between company time and personal time; people often refer to this as "work-life balance." The demand on everyone's time is growing because work crosses time zones; mobile devices make it easier to reach anyone, anywhere; and double-income families are more common. The goal of balance is to be effective at work, while making the most of your personal time.
GroupWise can help people stay on top of their game at work, at home and in the community. GroupWise 7 did this by supporting multiple calendars—a clear way to manage the various demands on users' time. It also let users import schedules or calendars from external sources. To make it even easier for you to achieve whole-life management, the
next release of GroupWise extends these capabilities with external calendar subscribing and publishing.
Subscribing to a calendar is similar to the calendar import capability in GroupWise 7. Whether you want calendars of industry events, national holidays, team workspace or the schedule of your favorite sports team, the import feature made it easy for you to bring those calendars into your home view; however, that data was static. If it changed, you might not find out until it was too late. And if it was updated on a regular basis, you had to import it on a regular basis. That became a pain.
The ability to subscribe to calendars solves those problems. You can subscribe to any calendar that supports the iCal standard. (For a selection of publicly available calendars you can subscribe to, see icalshare.com). Instead of importing calendar data to your home view, you get real-time calendar data. This means that whenever changes are made to that calendar, they are automatically updated in your personal calendar. That rocks!
The calendar publishing agent in the next release of GroupWise enables you to collaborate more effectively with your contacts, wherever they are and whatever system they're using. GroupWise can dynamically generate an HTML version of any of your personal calendars and publish them as a Web service. You can publish conference room schedules, class schedules, company holiday schedules, team project calendars, or any of your personal calendars. When you publish a calendar, it's exposed as an iCal standard calendar, giving others the ability to access or subscribe to it from any iCal-supported system.
The real power of publishing and subscribing to calendars shows itself when you set up meetings with your external contacts. Free/busy searches among GroupWise users in the same system have probably saved you significant time and effort when trying to hold a face-to-face meeting or conference call; however, setting up meetings with people outside your company has often proven to be a Herculean effort, requiring you to schedule and reschedule time and again.
To solve this problem, you can simply publish your free/busy information in a calendar and provide the URL to your external contacts. They can then subscribe to it, and busy search it to schedule an appointment with you. GroupWise can auto-accept any valid appointments you receive, as well as give you the ability to accept the appointment in the calendar of your choice. And to make it easier to schedule meetings with people in other time zones, you can display two time zones side by side in your calendar. This allows you to easily see common free time and ensure that you're scheduling meetings at reasonable times for all attendees.
One last calendar enhancement is the ability to aggregate your shared calendars. This basically gives you the flexibility to overlay your personal calendars with shared calendars to give you a better overall view of everything you have going on and need to do. Figure 2

If you are interested in a puppy from Wilma and Butch, or just want to talk about this litter, please email Jeanne, or by phone at 661-618-8798. Blue Boy, a natural ear male, and his cropped sisters White Girl and Sparkle Girl are available.
Wilma whelped a day early, producing 6 girls, 5 boys, all black as expected. This is a very large litter when using frozen semen, I'm thrilled.
Doing an AI litter is always chancy, and using frozen semen makes the chances of success even slimmer. But Wilma, Butch and my vet came through.
This litter will be all blacks / black born grays. Neither parent carries the tawny gene. I'm expecting wonderful personalities, great movement, substantial heads, and fantastic coat quality. I'm not expecting small Briards, but you never know about size.
Wilma's first litter was full of happy pups. I can't wait to see what she produces this time around.

WHAT better way to kill a virus than to mutate it to death, relentlessly sabotaging its genes until it can no longer survive? If everything goes to plan, that's the fate in store for HIV and other killers including Ebola and West Nile virus.
The tool for the job is a new class of HIV drug called a "stealth nucleoside". The first trial of the therapy in animals began last week after a series of successful test-tube studies.
"We're pushing the virus over the edge," says Richard Daifuku head of Koronis Pharmaceuticals, a biotechnology firm in Redmond, Washington state, which is developing stealth nucleosides.
"If mutations get above a critical level, then the virus can't replicate any more," he said last week when he presented the company's latest findings at the BioPartnering Europe conference in London.
Koronis is confident that because of the way the drug works, HIV will be ...

Robert Littlefield was running his recently completed '69 hard all weekend and kept improving his times. The car features a complete CA Chassisworks suspension. His best autocross time was 44.75, while he managed a best Speed Stop run of 9.45 seconds.
DSE's Stacy Tucker beat the ever-lovin' tar our of her '69 all weekend. In fact, we don't remember seeing the car anywhere else other than on the track or queued up waiting to run in one of the events. Her fastest lap on the autocross was 44.03 seconds, and in the Speed Stop her Camaro made the run in 9.46 seconds.
Don't let the V-6 nose on this fifth-gen fool you – it's stupid fast. How fast? Well, John Ebert nailed the top speed in the LSX Real Street category with a 164.25-mph run.
Everyone perked up when Daren Poole Adams' fifth-gen COPO factory drag car pulled into to the beams. This ride was still bone stock, just as it was delivered from GM. It even had the new-car smell going on. On its first pass it laid down a 9.680 e.t. at 140.63 mph, which is pretty damn impressive.
There was a little rain on Saturday morning, but once it cleared, the crowds flooded in to check out the cars, vendors, and racing. In addition to the drag and autocross action, there was a dyno shootout, LS engine swap competition, car show, and even a drifting shootout. The only thing not on the schedule was getting bored.
This show-car quality race car started out as a GM body in white. Greg Delaney ran hard and it paid off with a big win in the LSX All-Motor class. His winning pass was 8.372 seconds at 160.16 mph.
Ray Bulach launched hard and ended up winning the LSX Rumble class with a best pass of 9.641 seconds at 144.240 mph.
DSE's Kyle Tucker owned the autocross track all weekend. Early on he set the time to beat of 41.91 seconds and nobody was able to get close, let alone do better. In the Speed Stop Challenge he knocked down a 8.90-second run, which was better than many ABS-equipped cars. This combined with his drag race times gave him enough points to nab the Number Two spot in the Grand Champion competition.
Brian Finch didn't win any of the individual events, but he did well in all of them. He placed Third in the autocross (42.74), Sixth in the Speed Stop Challenge (8.74) and, thanks to a shot of nitrous, he had the third quickest drag race time. Added together it was just enough to edge out Kyle Tucker for the overall Grand Champion win.
If fifth-gens are racing, then chances are you'll find Shawn Calabrese burning up the asphalt. This weekend, all the practice paid off and he took the Number One spot in the 5th-Gen Camaro Challenge with a final run of 9.641 at 144.24 mph.
Licata squeaked into the "Top Five" autocross shootout where each driver was given three laps to improve his standing. In the end, Licata was able to move up a notch to Fourth place. The final four were all Camaros, with the finishing order for the shootout being: Kyle Tucker, Britt Marolf, Brian Finch, and our very own Nick Licata.

Ibadan — The perennial rivalry between the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade resurfaced weekend as the former described Oba Sijuade as someone who is not knowledgeable about his ancestral origin.
The two foremost Yoruba monarchs have been embroiled in crisis over the control of Yorubaland.
The disagreement which had abated after the creation of Osun State, reared its head again recently when Ooni said the Alaafin did not have the rights to celebrate Oranyan, one of the sons of Oduduwa because the deity was not known in Oyo town as claimed by the Alaafin.
Despite many attempts made to make Oba Adeyemi respond to the accusation he kept sealed lips.
Ooni had alleged that Alaafin was reigning over a dead empire.
But, while responding in his palace at a special birthday lecture organized in his honour by the 'City People Magazine', entitled: 'Reviving Old Oyo Customs and Tradition', he hinted that he did not respond because of the intervention of the former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo at a meeting where Oba Sijuade, the Awujale of Ijebu, Oba Oyebade Lipede were in attendance.
Alaafin recalled that Oba Sijuade had said, "he(Alaafin) is not Oranyan", but he turned deaf ears because he wanted absolute concentration during the celebration of Oranyan.
Explaining why he broke the silence, he said Ooni did not refrain from condemning him and his traditional activities. Alaafin claimed Oyo is superior to Ife in many ramifications.
"Where did this Yoruba Language that we are speaking evolve from? Which language was used in writing the Bible? It is Oyo language. Why not Ife language? Where else are they speaking Ife language apart from Lagere Quarters? Why are the Modakeke people, who are living behind Ife not speaking Ife language?", Alaafin asked.
Alaafin further clarified that he had posed so many questions to Ooni which, he alleged, "instead, he came with books that could fill three baskets".
"In 2009, Ooni had rubbished the institution of Alaafin, but a year after when he was celebrating his birthday, he said Oranyan was his father's ancestor. How could you have denigrated your ancestors and later claimed that you are a son of the Alaafin. Anybody who does not know his ancestral roots, who did not strive to learn about it, and does not learn from those who know, will continue to make mistakes and flounder in ignorance. That is part of Ooni's inadequacies", he said.
"When we wanted to celebrate Sango, they said Sango is not Yoruba. Sango studied Quoran. He was the one that was first conferred with the title of 'Akeugberu'. He was the first in the art of adjudicating justly. When he was born, the umbilical chord that joined him with his mother could not be severed. Because they pulled it and it would not cut, it became the name 'Afonja'. The glory, success and tradition of Yoruba started from Oyo", he stated.
Alaafin alluded to a period during the tenure of late Chief Bola Ige (SAN) when a "stamped paper recognising Oranyan as the Head of the Princes and Princesses in Yorubaland, and that Oyo dominated all other nations, namely: Ife, Ijebu, Egba, Ijesa, Sabe, Owu and so on".
He reminded people of some historical facts when Messrs. Richard Lander and McPherson visited Oyo Ile in 1827, saying the white men saw some historical structures in Oyo Ile. He warned that Ooni should not distort historical facts further.
The Director, Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac Albert, commended Alaafin for epitomizing the rich African cultural heritage.

It could happen: you're Rollerblading along, when suddenly an ice storm strikes. But not to worry. The sports shoe specialist MGM of Treviso in Italy has developed the Scout shoe, which has interchangeable in-line wheels and ice-skating blades. In just a couple of seconds, you can be wearing ice skateswithout even having to take off your boots. Key to this transformable skate is a tough polymer sole that is moulded to allow a skate attachment plate to snap on; the principle is similar to a ski-locking mechanism. For areas where skating is banned, MGM says the sole is flexible enough to walk in.

You know the saying, "Mother knows best" "" well, these moms have been there, done that, and they're ready to hook you up with insider info on hottest products in natural health, food and beauty. This week's topic: Natural Beauty.
I needed to clean out my bathroom cabinet since I had stopped using all the toxic stuff I had amassed before becoming pregnant. I have looked at many sites and found that Vitacost is among the few offering a selection of different brands and variety that were natural and organic. I got a chance to try out a few for myself.
First up, Borage Therapy Facial Moisturizer with SPF 15. Everyone needs to wear sunscreen everyday! My old one was too thick on application and smeared off whenever I touched anything. That is not good. I was surprised at how light the lotion was. It spread evenly on my face and absorbed very quickly. It did not smear or wipe off. I also felt a slight tightening on my skin afterwards. I don't know if that is an intended effect but I liked it. The borage oil worked wonders on my dry skin which doesn't like the cold weather (it was still cold up to last week!).
Next I tried the Honey Girl Organics Face and Eye Cream. I wanted something more substantial for night times so that my skin could recover and replenish while I slept. And I didn't want loads of chemicals sitting on me for the all those hours either. Honey Girl is unique, it contains five components from bees (yes, there are that many): beeswax, propolis, honey, royal jelly, and bee pollen. The scent is faint and reminiscent of a beauty product you might have found in your grand mother's vanity. I liked the thick but smooth texture. You don't need a lot to cover your face.

Most Americans have heard of the "fiscal cliff." The term — first used last year by Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke — refers to the economic disaster that awaits Americans if tax increases, spending cuts and budget deficit rules go into effect starting January 2013 if the Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill can't come to an agreement in three weeks.
But while the fiscal cliff scenario threatens to derail the U.S. economy as a whole, real estate is teetering on its own fiscal cliff. Here are four areas of concern.
No. 1: Increase in Capital-Gains TaxThe White House wants "the rich" to pay more taxes. Republicans are opposed to any increases in taxes. But if the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, capital-gains tax rates will go up as of January 1, meaning anyone who sells their home could owe more on those sales. As a result, many sellers are racing to close before 2013. If the Bush tax cuts are allowed to expire, the current capital-gains tax of 15 percent will rise to 20 percent. Plus, the new federal health-care tax of 3.8 percent on investment income also kicks in next year for couples who make $250,000 or more. The combined tax-hiking impact of the Bush tax cuts ending and the looming 3.8 percent Medicare surtax have been dubbed Taxmageddon.
Capital-gains rates could remain unchanged if a deal gets done in Washington. But don't count on it.
No. 2: Expiration of Mortgage Interest DeductionThe mortgage interest deduction — long considered the centerpiece of American homeownership — is on the chopping block. Presently, interest on loans up to $1 million can be deducted on primary and secondary homes. Be prepared for this Holy Grail of housing to either be eliminated or scaled back considerably.
No. 3: Expiration of Mortgage Debt Forgiveness ActShort sellers could be in for a big surprise come January 2013, if the Mortgage Debt Forgiveness Act expires. If this law perishes, short sellers will be taxed on unpaid mortgage debt, which the IRS considers taxable income.
If this law dies, thousands of distressed borrowers will avoid short sales (because of the tax hit) and simply walk away from their underwater homes, sending foreclosure filings upward in 2013. Moreover, home sales would decrease nationwide, putting downward pressure on home prices.
No. 4: Bailout of Federal Housing AdministrationThe Federal Housing Administration is nearly insolvent and it could require a taxpayer bailout next year, according Edward J. Pinto, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Pinto claims the 78-year-old agency is $34.5 billion short of its legal capital requirement.
"If it were a private company, it would be shut down," argues Pinto.
These aren't the only issues threatening the real estate market. Since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over by the government in 2008, taxpayers have plowed $180 billion into them to keep them operational. This mess needs to be fixed next year.
And mortgage insurance could be eliminated too.

Will Sales Tax Hurt Internet Sales?By
Very soon, Internet retail companies will no longer be exempt from collecting state sales tax. Upstream Commerce did a nice job in this article describing the coming change and several ramifications of the change:
1. Tax tracking systems will be expensive and complicated.
2. The exemption guidelines could be altered once passed.
3. Internet business development will be dampened.
4. Consumers may turn off to online shopping.
5. Competitive pricing strategies may come into play.
Here are my pricing based perspectives on these 5 points.
1. Unfortunately this will be true. Amazon will become an even bigger behemoth because it will be very difficult for smaller companies to comply. It will be easier to become an Amazon partner.
2. It's fair to say that taxes, fees and government spending will always go up.
3. Although probably true to some extent, this won't be a big effect. See the answer to #4 for more details.
4. This is probably the issue most worried about, and least likely to have a huge impact. The question is why do people shop online? Certainly some people buy online for better prices, others shop online for convenience, still others for the huge selection of products they can't find at local stores. My gut says that number of people buying online just for better prices is relatively small. Combine that with the many studies that show people rarely use fees (sales taxes) in their decision making and it seems unlikely adding state sales tax will have much of an impact.
5. I'd like to believe that competitive pricing strategies are always in play, but we know better. This shock to Internet prices may cause Internet retailers to focus more on pricing, prompting new and hopefully better pricing strategies and implementations.
Yes, taxing Internet sales will impact the markets, but probably not the way most people think. The Internet is part of our lives. A small increase in fees will not significantly change our purchasing behaviors.
How does this effect you and your business? Probably not much. My suggestion, don't worry about it. Focus on building and capturing value. You will get a much better return on your time.
FYI: I just wanted to let everyone know that the "tax tracking systems" you refer to claiming them to be very expensive is absolutely false. The opposite is actually true. Small businesses will finally shed the restrictive burdens legacy tax systems and procedures currently place on them. Modern technology today freely on the Internet is available to businesses of all sizes. By enabling modern technology businesses can now participate in a simplified tax system saving them from having to pay to frustrate their bookkeepers and accountants. Not only is sales tax easier to process in home states, but 24 states total have simplified their sales tax definitions, rates and remittance requirements. Many more states are in the process of doing the same as current legislating granting States' rights to collect sales tax legally due will requires such simplification standards. 24 States now have one simplified e-File return specifically for sales tax. As more states simplify and automate their remittance procedures there will be only one automated return for retailers to worry about.
And yes calculation is actually easier than processing shipping. Any sales tax rate can easily be applied to any transaction faster than a human can blink an eye (that's thirteen milliseconds).
Integration is also easy as many online shopping platforms and carts already have integrated this service for merchants, FREE.
Reactive thinking will certainly retard businesses from excelling in the marketplace. It is time for businesses owners to take a progressive stance enabling modern technology. Modern technology that will remove audit liability, provide automated current rates, definitions and remittance all for FREE removing legacy burdens so dearly being grasped.
In regard to pricing. Since the service is free and actually removes administrative burdens from business it would be fair to say that pricing will remain unchanged and actually become more competitive. After all that is common when costly barriers are replaced by FREE modern technology.
