10 Visual Signs You May Have a Health Problem

Your Waist
What you see: Your waist is bigger than your hips.
What it might mean: For men, this is the double whammy.
Whammy #1: "We're not sure precisely why, but men who are 'apple-shaped' instead of 'pear-shaped' have a higher incidence of heart disease," says Richard Stein, M.D., a professor of clinical medicine at Cornell University. Which means too many guys are eating the apples without leaving off the pie, strudel, and fritter part.
Whammy #2: A round, Santa-type belly is also a primary indicator of type-2 diabetes. "Abdominal fat causes a man's naturally produced insulin to work less efficiently," says Christopher D. Saudek, M.D., a professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University and president of the American Diabetes Association. It also keeps you and the sack of toys from fitting down the chimney.
Bonus Whammy: You're fat!

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2008 July-August Baltimore, MD (ANA) US Coin Signature Auction.
The Finest Known 1797 13 Stars JR-2 Dime, MS651797 10C 13 Stars MS65 NGC. JR-2, R.4. The central obverse and reverse are a trifle weak, but all remaining details are boldly defined. The impression is nicely centered on the flan, with full obverse and reverse borders. Full satin luster is visible beneath delightful ivory, gold, and pale blue toning. Pristine surfaces are free of any significant marks.
The Cleneay-Atwater-Lovejoy Specimen
The Cleneay-Atwater-Lovejoy Specimen
Die State. Both sides have scattered die rust and the reverse has light clash marks.
Condition Census. This is undoubtedly the finest existing 1797 JR-2 dime, by a wide margin.
Appearances. The plate coin in Early United States Dimes 1796-1837, and illustrated in the Lovejoy catalog.
Obverse Die. 13 stars arranged with seven stars left and six stars right, diagnostic. This is the only Small Eagle dime variety of either year with 13 obverse stars. The date has a knobbed 9, with the 1 distant from the hair curl, and the right top of the 7 barely touching the drapery. A diagonal die line from the knob of the 9 extends up to the top of the 7 and continues to the drapery. Stars 1, 7, and 8 are distant from the hair, L, and Y, and star 13 nearly touches the drapery. All stars are separated, although several are extremely close to their neighbors. Star 8 is doubled. LIBERTY is widely spaced with IBE and RTY especially far apart.
State a. Perfect die. State b. Minor rust marks. State c. Heavy clash marks.
Reverse Die. A leaf tip ends below the right upright of E in AMERICA, diagnostic. The left branch of the wreath has 18 leaves and five berries, and the right branch has 13 leaves. A leaf of the lowest inside pair in the left is a mere outline, and it is probably only visible on high grade specimens. The lowest outer leaf appears to touch the bottom of the U, and a leaf touches the base of the first T in STATES, below the left base. The leaf tip below the upright of E in AMERICA just misses touching, and another leaf joins the right side of the C. AME are extremely close, and ER join at the base. The M is low, its left and right bases below the A and E.
State a. Scattered die rust. State b. Heavy clash marks.
Heritage Commentary. Clearly struck after 1797 JR-1, and the final dime variety of the Small Eagle type. This dime has amazing aesthetic appeal and will easily please any connoisseur, much as it pleased Ed Price, who considers the piece a highlight of his collection. With a long pedigree, this coin has been a highlight of every auction where it has appeared, always realizing a strong price for the time. As an example, in Lester Merkin's 1966 auction, it realized $7,250, an extraordinary amount at the time. In that catalog, it was called "one for the perfectionists."
Consignor Commentary. I was quite fortunate to purchase this coin. I had noticed the coin in Larry Whitlow's Coin World ad, and believe he had purchased the coin from the collector who bought it at the Bolen sale. I spoke with Mike Printz at Whitlow's office, who told me the coin had been sold. I was disappointed because I had seen the coin at the Bolen and Lovejoy sales and knew that it was special. I knew Mike and Larry from some previous dealings, and told Mike that both the buyer and Whitlow could have an immediate and significant profit if he could arrange for me to get the coin. Mike made the transaction happen.
Provenance. Thomas Cleneay (Chapman Brothers, 12/1890), lot 1470; possibly DeWitt Smith and H.O. Granberg; William Cutler Atwater (B.

Howard Schultz
Howard Schultz, chairman and chief global strategist of Starbucks
The Botwinick Prize in Business Ethics recognizes Howard Schultz for his long term commitment to Starbucks employees, or partners, as they are known, and to the communities in which they work. Schultz's fervent dedication to improving the lives of people around the world has fostered Starbucks' international reputation for philanthropy and corporate innovation.
Professor Meyer Feldberg, dean of Columbia Business School, commented, "Howard is a visionary leader who has had a tremendous impact on his employees and the global community. The School is proud to recognize a businessman who is such an extraordinary role model for our students and the entire business community."
"I am very honored to be recognized as a business leader who exemplifies the highest standard of ethical conduct in business," said Howard Schultz. "This prestigious prize acknowledges the commitment of all 40,000 Starbucks partners (employees) who continually strive to enhance the lives of people throughout the world."
Under Schultz's leadership, Starbucks has become the largest continual North American contributor to CARE, the international aid organization. CARE's focus on sustainable development and emergency aid in developing countries helps Starbucks to give back to the coffee origin countries in which it does business. In 1997, Schultz created the Starbucks Foundation with the vision of using it as a tool to create hope and opportunity in communities where Starbucks does business. The foundation is currently focused on raising awareness for literacy causes and has established a program to give grants to organizations throughout North America to promote literacy. The Foundation was originally funded by Schultz's profits from his book, Pour Your Heart Into It, How Starbucks Built a Company One Cup at a Time. Starbucks heralded a new age in employee relations in 1990 as it became the first privately held company in North America to offer equity in the form of annual stock options eligible for full- and part-time partners.
Howard Schultz earned a BS from Northern Michigan University in 1975. In 1982, he joined Starbucks Coffee Company (Nasdaq:SBUX) as director of operations and marketing, when the Company only had four stores. Recently, Schultz, who remains chairman of the board, assumed a new role as chief global strategist in order to dedicate more time to the company's global expansion and international brand development.

iHerb Customer Reviews
My son has ulcerative colitis. This has been a life saver to keep him off of prescription drugs. Give it 8 days to stop the diarrhea and bleeding, it will change your life! Works great in conjuction with Primal Defense and Alive multivitamins to give him plenty of energy. ****2/09 Felt I should add this since I had to take my son off of S. Boulardii after about a year and a half. He began having other allergy symptoms and we found he had developed an allergy to the product itself. Even though it continued to control his Ulcerative Colitis, he began having inflamation in his eyes and a rash on his arms. It says right on the bottle "not for long term use". If you want to find long term help with Ulcerative Colitis and other allergy problems try LDA! It is the only thing that has had a permanent help (http://drshrader.com/).
I have been suffering for five months with clostridium difficule, and have taken antibiotics from my doctor a couple of times, but the diarrhea would come back. I did some research on the internet and found that Saccharomyces Boulardii could help with this condition. I started it, and within three weeks it helped a great deal. Last appointment with my doctor I told him what I was taking and he told me that was the very best probiotic I could take for my condition and to keep taking it. I am not completely well, but it is improving a lot. Thanks for the great product. Lola

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Special to the Clayton News DailyATLANTA -- State Court judges held a summit meeting at the State Bar of Georgia building in Atlanta on April 9th and 10th to plan for the future in these uncertain financial times. Judges volunteered to spend two days identifying specific solutions to challenges facing the court system. Considerable attention was given to both budget constraints, due to a tightening economy, and the increased number of cases being filed. State Courts have county-wide jurisdiction in 70 counties in Georgia. Last year, there were more than one million filings in State Courts, making it one of the busiest classes of courts in Georgia. State Courts have jurisdiction over misdemeanor criminal cases, including traffic cases, and all civil cases, except domestic relations and equity cases. When asked about challenging budget concerns, Clayton County's Judge John Carbo, who is president of the Council of State Court Judges, said: "These are difficult times for everyone. People are hurting. The General Assembly and local governments are dealing with reduced revenues. State Courts will continue to operate frugally, while fulfilling our mission to administer justice for all Georgians." Also in attendance at the two-day summit were: President-elect of the Council of State Court Judges, Judge Ron Ginsberg, of Chatham County; Judge Ben Studdard, of Henry County; secretary of the organization, Judge Bill Bass, Sr., of Grady County; Judge Larry Mims, of Tift County; past president of the group, Judge Brenda Cole, of Fulton County, Judge Melody Clayton, of Cobb County; Judge Phil Smith, of Forsyth County, and Judge Jeanette Little, of Troup County.

The Oxford Calculators distinguished kinematics from dynamics, emphasizing kinematics, and investigating instantaneous velocity. They first formulated the mean speed theorem: a body moving with constant velocity travels the same distance as an accelerated body in the same time if its velocity is half the final speed of the accelerated body. They also demonstrated this theorem—the essence of "The Law of Falling Bodies" — long before Galileo, who is generally credited with it.
The mathematical physicist and historian of science Clifford Truesdell, wrote:
In Tractatus de proportionibus (1328), Thomas Bradwardine extended the theory of proportions of Eudoxus to anticipate the concept of exponential growth, later developed by the Bernoulli and Euler, with compound interest as a special case. Arguments for the mean speed theorem (above) require the modern concept of limit, so Bradwardine had to use arguments of his day. Mathematician and mathematical historian Carl O. Boyer writes, "Bradwardine developed the Boethian theory of double or triple or, more generally, what we would call 'n-tple' proportion".
Boyer also writes that "the works of Bradwardine had contained some fundamentals of trigonometry gleaned from Muslim sources". Yet "Bradwardine and his Oxford colleagues did not quite make the breakthrough to modern science" (Cantor 2001, p 122). The most essential missing tool was algebra.

Record Rise for Orientalist Paintings – artmarketblog.com
As the art market continues to rebound, and new buyers continue to emerge from the middle east, the demand for top orientalist paintings has risen significantly over the last twelve months. Exceeding the market high seen during the 2007/2008 boom, the prices being paid for the work of many orientalist artists have reached record highs. Christie's 26 January 2012 Old Master & Early British Drawings & Watercolors held at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York saw the fifth highest auction price achieved for British/Italian artist Edward Lear whose orientalist watercolour painting Montenegro - a group of figures in a mountainous landscape – shot past the $120,000 – $180,000 estimate for a final price of $422,500. Previously sold by Christie's for US$93,400 (excluding premium) in 1992, the painting then passed to the vendor through Artemis, London in 1996. Lear's View of Gwalior, India, 1880 also sold well fetching $170,500 against an estimate of $50,000 – $70,000.
Over at Bonhams, a new auction record was set for Russian artist Vasilii Dmitrievich Polenov with an orientalist inspired painting titled He that is without sin from the artist's The Life of Christ series. Estimated to sell for £1,200,000 – 1,800,000, this epic painting by one of Russia's greatest artists sold for £4,073,250 during Bonham's The Russian sale held on the 30 Nov 2011 in London. Earlier in the year, on the 6th of June, Sotheby's achieved a new auction record for one of Polenov's contemporaries, Vasily Vasilievich Vereschagin, whose orientalist painting of the Taj Mahal sold for £2,281,250 against an estimate of £250,000 – 450,000.
According to French auctioneers Artcurial, they were the world leader in orientalist paintings in 2011, posting a turnover total of 5 million euros for the year. Artcurial set four orientalist auction records during 2011 including:
- La Kasbah rouge by Jacques Majorelle, 1924, sold for €1,315,818 on 9 June 2011;
- A work on paper by Alexandre Roubtzoff, sold for €60,020 on 9 June 2011, reaching a record of €434,300, on 8 June 2010 for an oil painting from 1935, la Bédouine de Tunis;
- La Tikka, l'heure du thé by Edouard-Léon-Louis Edy-Legrand, sold for €378,494 on 9 June 2011;
- Les Beautés de Marrakech by Lucien Levy-Dhurmer, pastel on paper, sold for €297,900 on 18 December 2011.

I can't tell you how much I absolutely love cooking with my crockpot especially during busy work weeks. Even though I work from home, it's still really difficult to find the time and energy to cook good meals each evening.
Category Archives: Crockpot
Quick and Easy Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake
If you have a craving for chocolate and a massive sweet tooth then this Crockpot Chocolate Lava Cake recipe is for you! I found this recipe on Pinterest and knew I had to try it.
What I like most about this recipe is it's simplicity. Just a few ingredients thrown in a crockpot for a couple of hours. Not fuss, just walk away and come back to a hot and gooey delicious cake.
Quick and Easy Crockpot Chili
Fall has definitely landed here in Western PA so I'm saying goodbye to grilling and hello to comfort foods. My husband loves a good chili but I've never tried a crockpot version. I found this recipe on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try.
I'm not much of a meat eater so I can only provide my hubby's opinion on this recipe. He really loves it! It turned out nice and thick like he likes and there was plenty for him to enjoy.
This is a huge recipe! It makes an entire crockpot full with plenty to eat now and plenty to freeze for later.
Soup In A Snap: Crockpot Broccoli Cheddar
This has got to be one of the easiest and tastiest soup recipes I have ever tried! All you have to do is combine a few ingredients in the crockpot and walk away. Perfect comfort food for a chilly weekend without slaving away over the stove.
Broccoli cheddar soup is one of my favorites and this one is delicious. It's smooth and creamy with just the right amount of thickness. This recipe makes a lot of soup too. Plenty for a single meal and plenty to freeze for another.
Crockpot Chipotle Pepper Shredded Chicken
We enjoyed my super simple recipe for Brown Sugar Bourbon Crockpot Chicken so much that I decided to snag another flavor of the McCormick Grill Mates marinade packets to use. This time I went with the Chipotle Pepper one and decided to make shredded chicken in the crockpot to use for taco night.
This time I added a few additional ingredients along with the marinade mixture but it's still quick and easy. This shredded chicken tasted great in soft taco shells but could be used a lot of other ways too; quesadillas, salads, nachos and more!

Good at the Royal Exchange Theatre
We've rarely been disappointed at the Exchange and we arrived last night hoping the evening's performance, and our inaugural Manchester Weekender event, would be no exception.
It wasn't. Good is a play that is hard to forget, one that will roll around in our minds for some time to come.
This production of C.P. Taylor's 1981 classic, directed by Polly Findlay, tells the story of Professor Haldler, an academic living in 1930s Germany who is struggling to balance the responsibilities of an infirm mother and a hapless wife with a burgeoning infatuation with his student.
To deal with his frustration at his mother's declining health he writes a pro-euthanasia novel that catches the attention of the Nazi Party, who enlist his services to add ethical weight to their anti-Semitic policies. At crucial moments of moral choice Hadler's tendency to imagine beautiful music playing leads to him making ethically dubious decisions, almost without him realizing the impact of his actions until it is too late.
The action unfolds in a series of overlapping scenes that act as a means of deliberately disorienting the audience. This device leaves you feeling empathetic with Hadler, played by Adrian Rawlins. We switch from a scene with his mother, to his Jewish friend, to his wife, to his love interest, all the time witnessing how Hadler's attention is constantly moved from the moral focus of his predicament by his own musical delusions.
With its multitalented cast Good was a show filled with tight performances. Particular highlights involved the switch from straight acting to musical performance. And the climatic scene of the first half was a delight, complete with light pyrotechnics – the description on the Exchange's website of "1984 meets Cabaret" is entirely apt.
After the opening minutes, you become quickly acclimatized to this pace, and begin to share the disorientation of the main character. The musical interludes seamlessly integrate and feel entirely believable as a means of distracting Hadler from the situations of those around him.
The main question Good asks is "what would you do?" if faced with the same situation and the same choices. It is a question subtly asked; implicit in the creation of an emotional reality so complete, but also one regularly broken by dramatic techniques.
With the demands placed upon him by the supporting characters you can, as a viewer, sympathize with Hadler; however, in one of the final scenes between Hadler and his Jewish friend Maurice I actually wanted to get out of my seat and slap the central character, for sleepwalking from a position of sympathetic protagonist to an attempt to convince his now deceased friend, and himself in the process, that the actions of the Nazi Party are entirely justifiable and are, in fact, the fault of the German Jewish population.
The performances were, without exception, extremely accomplished, showcasing faultlessly how each character around Hadler is so wrapped up in their own psyche and the intricacies of their own experience that they have few faculties left with which to explore the wider implications of their actions.
Good runs until the 5th November, and we would certainly urge you to go and see the play for yourself. Tickets can be booked through the Royal Exchange website, and as always significant discounts are available for people under 26.
Part one of a four part series in conjunction with All Points North, providing coverage of Manchester Weekender and other regional festivals.

No. 6 Tennessee women's 36-game SEC streak ends
LEXINGTON, Ky. Glory Johnson will not focus on the last play when A'dia Mathies abruptly ended sixth-ranked Tennessee's 36-game Southeastern Conference winning streak. Instead, she'll dwell on all the little things the Lady Volunteers did wrong in a 61-60 loss to No. 9 Kentucky on Thursday night.
Mathies drove the lane and scored in traffic with 4.2 seconds left to finish with a career-high 34 points.
"Mathies did a great job of getting to the basket," said Johnson, who had 17 points. "We're not going to look at that one play, we're going to look at missed layups and missed free throws and turnovers and everything that happened that shouldn't have."
With Kentucky trailing 60-57, Mathies followed her own shot to cut it to one with 46 seconds left.
After Tennessee (12-4, 3-1) was called for a charge and Kentucky (15-2, 4-0) used a timeout, Mathies took the ball at halfcourt, dribbled into the lane and hit a 7-foot floater.
"We didn't have an answer for her tonight, it didn't start with the last shot," Tennessee associate head coach Holly Warlick said. "She was outstanding. My hat's off to her. She was outstanding."
Tennessee's Kamiko Williams drove the length of the floor, but missed an off-balance 16-footer as time expired. Tennessee rallied from 12 points down with 7:46 left to take a lead, but lost for the first time in the SEC since falling 53-50 at Georgia on Jan. 21, 2010.
"Our defense got us back in the game," Warlick said. "We made a couple of runs."
Vicki Baugh scored 16 points and Shekinna Stricklen 11 for Tennessee, but it wasn't enough to keep Kentucky from winning its first four games in conference play for the first time in history to go with 15 straight at home.
Kentucky led 50-38 off two free throws by Mathies with 7:46 left when Tennessee used a 16-4 rally to tie it. Meighan Simmons and Stricklen hit 3s, while Ariel Massengale's three-point play made it 54-all.
Then, after Mathies made two more free throws, Stricklen hit a layup, Kentucky's Amber Smith threw a pass away that led to a free throw by Johnson and Mathies fell and lost the ball that started Tennessee's 3-on-0 break that ended with a layup by Baugh to give the Lady Vols a 59-56 with 2:06 left.
At the timeout, the Kentucky pep band played "Don't Stop Believin'" with the game seemingly getting out of control.
Bria Goss made one of two free throws for the Wildcats and Johnson hit the second of two attempts to put Tennessee back ahead 60-57.
Goss then missed a 3 that would've tied it, but grabbed her own rebound and Kentucky got another possession. Mathies scored on a putback to cut it to 60-59 and Stricklen was whistled for a charge with 28 seconds to play, setting up the final possession.
"Credit Kentucky defensively, they made us play fast at times, they made us rush, so the combination of that and the tempo that the game was being played," Warlick said. "We were playing too fast and we didn't make plays."

The deputy permanent secretary at the Ministry of Tourism and Culture has said that tourism has huge potentials to increase government revenue, reduce poverty and create employment opportunities, hence it is currently recognised to be a major economic and social activity in most countries.
Cordu L. Jabang made this remark Tuesday at the official opening of a five-day training programme on customer services, marketing and public relations, for stakeholders in the tourism sector. The training, which is organised by Gambia Tourism Board (GTBoard), is being held at the Dunes Resort in Kotu.
The training amongst other things seeks to primarily address very critical variables in the hospitality industry, including quality and consistency of service in the industry, which is an ongoing concern for the tourism sector.
Jabang said the hospitality industry is undergoing a very dynamic transformation and certain trends have gradually been entrenched at the global level and these include, but are not limited to, acceleration of technological innovations which no doubt revolutionises the day-to-day running of business in the tourism industry; the new tourists are getting more demanding and the explosion in communication technology and the impact of the role of the internet in tourism.
"Therefore, the ability to succeed and the future performance of tourism and related activities will depend largely upon the skills set, qualities and knowledge that managers will be able to bring their business in confronting and addressing these challenges," Jabang added.
The MoTC DPS further stated that the future of tourism is bright, but in an increasingly globalised and competitive world, it is incumbent on tourism destinations such as The Gambia to embrace innovation and design more robust strategies. "This is with a view to mainstreaming quality in our operations and exceed the expectations of our myriad of guests in the various hospitality establishments," she added.
She highlighted the importance of the training, saying it will help to appreciate and adapt to change, particularly in fast moving areas such as quality in tourism "as this is very critical in our efforts to transform The Gambia into a much sought after destination that is not only unique, but capable of providing rewarding experiences and trendy service".
Benjamin A Roberts, the director general of the Gambia Tourism Board (GTBoard), welcomed the participants and acknowledged their partners. He informed the gathering that in order to have a sustainable training programme, GTBoard has signed a five-year deal with their partners for the service of the tourism industry.
He explained that the idea is to have training with the expectation that people benefit from this and future training, and will become experts that could help facilitate subsequent trainings, which would boost the service delivery of staff of all the hotels. The GTBoard boss added that one of the best ways to achieve the aims of the industry is through training, which participants have to take advantage of, and ensure that knowledge, skills and experience gathered from the PUM experts should be put into practice.
Lai Mboge, the chairman of the Gambia Hotel Association (GHA), said the training is a fundamental platform especially for those that are willing to continue with their careers, irrespective of educational background or position in a job."Training is a market that is expanding as new innovations, technologies and sales and marketing approach originates on daily bases and they are all customer service," he added.
He pointed out that the heart and the secret of hoteliers is patient, flexibility and customer satisfaction, which are first priorities.He finally urged the participants to be fully involved in the training and share the knowledge gained with their colleagues in their respectful hotels.

Frittatas are something I make very often, especially as part of a lunch with other mixed dishes and salads—rather like a grand antipasto. They are easily prepared and look really appetizing. You can use your imagination and experiment with different ingredients—you can use all sorts of vegetables to make a frittata, such as asparagus, spinach, or zucchini, but always lightly cook them first. I also find that the frittata tastes better when served cold.–Manuela Darling-Gansser

I had some problems with my right hand at the start of this year, so I decided to remove a part of load from it. I started to use left-handed mouse and used it for several months (it's not always possible to work completely without mouse, especially in Windows).
Week ago I got a new mouse as present - Evoluent VerticalMouse 4 (for left hand), and used it for a week at home, while used old mouse at work. And I can say, that new mouse is much more comfortable for me - hand is comfortably placed on it, there is separate middle button (instead of less comfortable wheel click, although it also works). There are also additional buttons, that could be programmed to do something useful. Mouse works fine on all tested OSes (Mac, Linux).
It was so comfortable, so I ordered the same mouse for work and already replaced my old mouse with it.

Established in 1896, the Club sits on the scenic embankment of the North Saskatchewan River and overlooking the river valley and downtown skyline.
The Edmonton Country Club is Alberta's oldest golf club and has maintained a reputation of excellence since inception. In 1989 an elegant clubhouse was constructed and stands as evidence to the Clubs dedication to provide the finest golf club experience in the City of Edmonton.
The course sits atop Edmonton's river valley and offers a wonderful experience for players of all skill sets. There are nine tee options ranging from 5,300 to 7,000 yards. The course presents a park like setting with generous driving areas, small greens that require accurate approaches but offer the availability to "run" the ball up.
Stanley Thompson, who worked at the club in the 1940s, moved many tee and green sites in order to bring the natural ravines on the site into play. Thompson golf holes were created to look as if they had always been there and were meant to always be there. This natural artistry has been ascribed as the essence of Stanley Thompson design philosophy.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Anne Cassidy, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 02 November 2009 10:33AM
The reality-show parody, called Cast Offs, is from the writers of Skins, Shameless and The Thick Of It, and the script contains sex and politically incorrect jokes.
The series, which starts this month, revolves around six characters: a woman with cherubism, a blind man, a deaf woman, a paraplegic man, a woman with dwarfism and a thalidomide-affected man.
It is about the making of a Survivor-style programme with disabled people and each character is played by an actor with the same disability.
Cast Offs is supposed to be both funny and provoking and, according one of its producers Joel Wilson, aims to do for disability what the 90s drama Queer As Folk did for gay people.

Facebook malware: Fake Facebook photo notifications contain dangerous malware
The threat of malware is at an all-time high after the discovery of a new way to infect computers using everyone's favorite thing: Facebook.
According to Mashable , fake emails claiming you have been tagged in a Facebook photo have been found to contain malware.
When the e-mail is opened, your computer could be infected.
A quick way to check to see if the email is a fake is by looking at the sender address.
A normal notification email from Facebook is from the sender "email@example.com."
According to Mashable , The malware infected e-mail misspells "Facebook" as "Faceb oook."
Mashable reports the email then takes the user to a malicious iFrame script, which exposes your computer to malware.
In a sneaky move, Mashable says the script directs your browser to an innocent Facebook page within four seconds of being exposed to the malware, so that you don't know you're being infected.
Read the full report from Mashable here : http://on.mash.to/NFeMYF

Wyclef, it is so cool for you to let us see a glimpse of your lfe on the road. Do you fly on your own private plane? Does Claudinette and Angelina travel with you all the time? Does that colon cleanser stuff make you lose weight? Do you feel different like more energy or something? All fascinating to me…can't wait for To Sir With Love.
Anyhow, thank you for your blog! I love it.

I've been trying to get in touch with you for sometime. I'm a legal schoalr who writes on critical race theory and more recently on hip-hop's impact on law and culture. I blog (along with several law professors) at http://www.hiphoplaw.com.
I've written an article about you and your music that will be published in the Oklahoma City University Law Review this fall and I'd welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you. The article is entitled "Conversations with the Law: Irony, Hyperbole and Identity Politics or Sake Pase? Wyclef Jean, Shottas, and Haitian Jack – A Hip-Hop Creole Fusion of Rhetorical Resistance to the Law."
You can download a somewhat editted draft of the article at http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1224312.

God bless you!

Bien Wyclef?
Juste un check de la banlieue. J'ai lu quelques articles de ton blog et j'ai kiffe. Continue a kiffer la vie et a nous inspirer avec ta zic. Peu d'artistes aujourd'hui font passer des messages positifs et intelligents. Ecouter tes albums solo et aussi blunted et the score ca ma donne envie decrire des pages et des pages de rhymes, travailler le flow et devenir meilleur.
Bonne chance pour To Sir.
Ps: Are not all passions curiosity? Once you are no longer curious then the passion dies. Once you have no more questions about a woman for example, nothing more to discover physically or emotionally the passion dies. Most people say curiosity is a flaw but it's also a quality. Without curiosity how will one find that passion/curiosity that never ends?

Get dirty, have fun and grow more food with great gardening tips from real-life gardeners.
By Mike Lieberman
mike lieberman, urban gardening, organic gardening, apartment gardening, compost, Mike Lieberman
I say compost, you think of rotting food, dirt, flies and a horrible smell. For that reason most people wont' even consider composting at home.
It's not all totally true. Compost is made from rotting food and dirt, yes. Though if it's properly maintained, the flying insects and be kept under control. It will results in a resource that can help to feed and strengthen your home or apartment garden.
When you use food scraps, you will also be helping from keep the food from the landfill. About one third of waste in the world is attributed to food. Not only is it a waste, but it also won't properly decompose in the landfill and turns into harmful CO2 and methane gases.
According to the New York City Compost Project, "The average New York City household discards two pounds of organic waste each day—adding up to more than one million tons of organic material a year."
Doesn't it seem like a complete waste to toss out these things that you already have on hand that help your garden to survive?
There are two ways that you can start to compost at home. The first is aerobic composting. That is the kind of composting that most people think of when composting is mentioned. It's food scraps and dirt mixed together. It's called aerobic because it needs to be turned so that air can be circulated through it to help break it down.
Here are simple instructions on how to make an indoor compost bin.
Indoor worm composting is a second and popular method. People often get squeamish about worm composting. Red wiggler are the most common worms used for this process. The easiest way to explain it is that the worms help to aerate the soil, breakdown the food and their castings are great for your plants.
I attempted to make my own worm bin several times, but failed each one.
You know the two methods, now you can choose which one works best for you and get to composting.
I asked Heather, the Marketing and Customer Service Specialist over at Thrive, a few questions and h...

Mathew McElroy Named 2012 Groves Award Recipient
City of El Paso Planner to Receive Award for Outstanding Leadership and Vision in the Promotion of Transect-Based PlanningSubmitted on 04/4/2012. Tags for this image:
The Groves Award for outstanding leadership and vision by a public official in the promotion of Transect-based planning is given jointly by the Transect Codes Council and the Congress for the New Urbanism. The award was created in honor of Ken Groves, the late Planning Director of the City of Montgomery, Alabama. His leadership in using land development and planning to create better communities is a gift that he left for all. Through his vision and persistence, Alabama's capital city began its journey back to prominence and sustainability.
Mathew McElroy, Deputy Director of Planning and Economic Development in the City of El Paso, will be the 2012 recipient of the Groves Award. The award recognizes outstanding leadership and vision in the promotion of transect-based planning and will be presented this year at the 20th Congress for the New Urbanism in West Palm Beach, Florida at the Friday Morning Plenary, May 11, 2012, 9:00AM to 10:15AM.
McElroy was unanimously selected by the jury this year due to his leadership and commitment in adopting New Urban and Transect-based plans, including the new city-wide Comprehensive Plan Plan El Paso; leadership in multiple SmartCode re-zonings throughout the City of El Paso; his commitment to CNU-accreditation; and his reform of El Paso's conventional subdivision regulations.
This year's jury consisted of Paul Crabtree, Crabtree Group Inc; Chad Emerson, City of Montgomery; Ana Gelabert-Sanchez, Former Planning Director of the City of Miami and co-recipient of the 2011 Groves Award; Marina Khoury, Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company; Jason King, Dover, Kohl & Partners; Nathan Norris, PlaceMakers; and Sandy Sorlien, Smartcode Local. Jason King and Nathan Norris abstained from the vote given that they worked closely with McElroy in the past.
Register for CNU 20 now and attend the Friday Morning Plenary, May 11, 2012, 9:00AM to 10:15AM, to see McElroy accept the honor of the 2012 Groves Award.

The Tantramar Family Resource Centre new program is rolling out a new program aimed at getting fresh fruits and vegetables on Tantramar tables.
Getting fruits and vegetables onto the table or into kids' lunchboxes all year-round can be a challenge for many families in the community.
But that burden is about to be eased as the Tantramar Family Resource Centre gets set to roll out a new program that will provide those families with fresh produce every month at affordable prices.
Fresh For Less, based on a similar program operating out of Moncton Headstart's Mapleton Teaching Kitchen, is a food purchasing club that will help ease the load on families struggling to keep up with the rising costs of gas, electricity and grocery bills.
"This club was started out of the recognition that fresh produce is expensive, and when families or individuals are on a limited income, healthy food is the first to go," said Raeghann Lister, the program coordinator at the Tantramar Family Resource Centre (TFRC), who has been partnering with the Sackville Food Group to get this program off the ground.
Lister said unfortunately, when families are faced with limited incomes, they tend to turn to unhealthy, pre-packaged food options that are less expensive rather than the more costly fruit and vegetables.
The Fresh For Less club is a way to get families back to eating healthier fare and at a rate they can afford. Members pay a monthly fee of $15 to receive a box filled with fresh produce, which will be "well worth the money," said Lister.
The bins will include the regular staples like potatoes, carrots, and onions, as well as apples, oranges and bananas each month. As well, depending on the time of year or the number of members that sign up, the boxes could also be filled up with tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, and more.
Also included in the bin will be a newsletter, featuring recipes, cooking tips and other useful information on different ways to use the food, said Lister.
"So there's a lot of education in this too . . . if we can start getting vegetables out to people then show them how to use it, that's what we're aiming for."
TFRC hopes to get the program up and running by next month, and Lister said a minimum of 10 families are required to participate for it to work. The club is intended for low-to-moderate-income families or individuals. She pointed out that members who sign up aren't obligated to purchase the box every month, just when they are able to do so.
The money from the members will be pooled together each month to purchase the fruits and vegetables from a wholesaler, so as to get a better rate. The Tantramar Family Resource Centre has already been in discussions with Apple a Day, an Ontario company, which currently delivers produce to several convenience stores in the Sackville area.
Lister said although there were initial concerns from the Sackville Food Group about using an Ontario company rather than local producers, it was determined that this would be the most cost-efficient and effective way to operate the program.
"If you can get vegetables into people's homes that normally don't get them, then that's better than no vegetables at all," she said.
Lister said the Moncton-area program providers and teachers have said they notice a big difference in children's attentiveness in school when they are able to incorporate fresh, healthy food into their diet.
Clare Archibald, executive director of Moncton Headstart, said the Fresh For Less program was modeled after a 'fresh boxes' program in Toronto and the Saint John food purchasing club.
"So we're all learning from each other," she said.
The Moncton Headstart program is now taking more than 120 orders each month, she said, which has been gradually increasing since its inception about a year ago.
"It's really taken off."
Last week's order, which just went out to families and individuals in the Moncton area, featured 12 different items.
"The bins were full," said Archibald. "It's a great time of year (for produce) so you get more for your money."
She said having access to a variety of fruits and vegetables each month is a huge benefit for families who couldn't normally afford to do so. For example, she cited a case last week where a mother came in for a box after her husband had just recently lost his job.
"It's a challenge for her to feed her family and this is really helpful to her," said Archibald.
Sackville's Fresh For Less club received a grant recently from the New Brunswick Department of Culture, Tourism, and Healthy Living to help with the set-up costs – including purchasing the boxes, promotion of the new program, and administration costs.
Once up and running, the produce will be delivered each month to St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, which has generously offered space for the program. The boxes will be packed by Daybreak clients, who have agreed to volunteer their time.
"So this is a great community partnership . . . and that benefits us and everyone else too," said Lister.
The families can then pick up their boxes at the church in the afternoon on the set date.
To register for the program or to find out more, call or drop into the TFRC office on Mondays, Wednesdays or Fridays at 9 Willow Lane, 939-8372 or e-mail email@example.com
"Let's see who's interested and see how it goes," said Lister, "and then we'll see where we can go from there."

Hope is an interesting thing. You can't see it, taste it, or touch it, but you know when it's there and when it's not. Sometimes in life, expectations go unfulfilled and hope fades.
With hope, everything becomes brighter and more beautiful!
But, what if there was a hope that would never disappoint or fade away? Wouldn't that be something worth celebrating? Join us this Easter as we celebrate and take hold of the hope we have through Jesus!
Learn about our Good Friday service!
Would you like to volunteer at this event? Join us Sunday at FAU stadium Gate 6 at 5 am. We have a volunteer opportunity for you!

Prospective residents or current residents responding to a
neighborhood call for information often request statistics on
the occurrence of crime in a particular area. These statistics
are available through the Crime Prevention Section. A phone call
is all that is required to receive data on the types, frequency,
and areas where specified crimes have occurred. To request crime
statistics, contact the Crime Prevention Section at (248)
The Vacation Hotline, (248) 871-2762, is a direct line to a
Crime Prevention Section voicemail recorder. It is designed to
provide responding officers with contact information should they
be called to an emergency at the house while the resident is on
vacation. It does not provide for special attention or extra
When you call the Vacation Hotline, be sure to include your
name, address, dates of departure/return, a contact person in
case of emergency, and any other pertinent information such as
cars left in the driveway or lights on timers.
Tours of the police facility may be scheduled by contacting the
Crime Prevention Section. Tours are available to school groups,
scouting troops, and other organizations and include a view of
Operations, Records, Communications, the detention area, and the
firing range.
Tours may be requested through the Crime Prevention Section at
(248) 871-2754.
Stopping crime before it happens is an important goal for the
City of Farmington Hills. The City believes that a safe
community is a desirable community. The Farmington Hills Police
Department has established a Crime Prevention program designed
to help members of the community identify practical and
meaningful methods to address safety concerns in their
environments. Often, the methods involve simply re-thinking the
way we place things in the environment.
Below are some guidelines and suggestions to consider when
designing new landscapes or preparing maintenance plans:
Solid walls provide concealment. Although they offer
privacy, they also create a security risk. Use walls
cautiously. A see-through fence (i.e. wrought iron with
decorative brick pillars) can provide the separation desired
without blocking important views.
Trim the bottom branches of evergreen trees around
doorways, carports and between public thoroughfares and
parking lots.
Carports provide good protection for cars. They also
provide a great place for people to hide. If carports are
part of a development, make sure the inside of the carport
can be seen from the street.

Q: Will Principia include the score from the new writing section of the SAT or the ACT when determining cumulative or composite scores for scholarship eligibility?
A: Principia does include the writing section score in both tests.
Q: How is my high school grade point average (GPA) computed by Principia College?
A: Only solid academic subjects are considered in a re-computation of the high school GPA. These subjects are English, math, history, social science, natural science, and foreign language. All Advanced Placement (AP) courses are considered in the computation of the GPA. AP and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses are given one additional grade point; honors courses are given an additional half grade point. In this way, an A earned in AP English will earn 5.0 grade points rather than a 4.0 (4.5 for an A earned in an honors course). Courses in art, music, speech, drama, health, PE, shop, home economics, computer science, and other elective courses are not considered in the computation of the GPA.
Q: How does Principia College view AP and IB exams?
A: A student who enters Principia with satisfactory scores in AP examinations (3 or higher), in IB examinations (4 or higher in higher level examinations), and/or CLEP (scores are evaluated according to American Council on Education standards) in subjects that parallel courses given at Principia may receive college credit with approval of the department chairs concerned. No further examination or fee is required.
Q: Does Principia offer any athletic scholarships?
A: As an NCAA Division III school, Principia is not allowed to offer athletic scholarships. Only academic scholarships, and the Founders', are offered by Principia.
Q. I want to apply for a scholarship. Is there a deadline to meet?
A. By completing the general application for admission, you will automatically be considered for academic scholarships. We begin considering applications and awarding academic and alumni scholarships on a rolling basis beginning September 1. If you are applying for the Founders' Scholarship, your application must be submitted with your admissions application.
Q: If I am admitted to Principia, when do I have to notify them of my decision?
A: While we welcome acceptance notification to Principia College at any time, students must make all application and scholarship decisions by May 1, the national notification reply date.

Often, it's the simple tools that matter... says Egyptian blogger
An ant, they say, can infuriate an elephant. That is, if the ant choose the right target, and goes into the elephant's ear. In the Egyptian world of technology, an 24-year-old engineer is doing the same by giving a voice to protest that's otherwise stifled in that part of the globe.
An ant, they say, can infuriate an elephant. That is, if the ant choose the right target, and goes into the elephant's ear. In the Egyptian world of technology, an 24-year-old engineer is doing the same by giving a voice to protest that's otherwise stifled in that part of the globe.
Alaa was recently arrested, and kept in jail for three fortnights! See this report The Independent of UK.
But others view his work differently, obviously! When they won an Reporters Sans Frontiers international "best of the blogs" prize, The International Freedom of Expression eXchange called this the Egyptian "blog that has become a key information source for the country's human rights and democratic reform movement."
"We use technology and the web a lot," says Alaa, about their campaigns against the Mubarak regime which has survived 25 years with "only mock elections".
So some of their campaigns helped political groups fight their low popularity and other problems. "Various groups were not communicating with each other. Out from the blue, a bunch of bloggers appeared, and started communicating with each other," he shared with us when we met up earlier this year.
They use RSS in Arabic and English and collect posts from each others' blogs. This builds "conversations" among earlier disconnected people. "Instead of protests with 70 people, we started seeing 400," he says. "My generation was earlier involved with politics only from the fringe."
Their campaigns made them realise that the "net is very important". They created websites for others. Used SMS to share the latest news. They also use mailing lists, and Style information: Do not use e-mail with a hyphen.
Source: Wikipedia">email
Source: Wikipedia">email.
Says their blog: "We also offer drupal based free hosting space and free aid in developing a website for any cause we find worthy or
interesting and for any speech that is censored or prosecuted in Egypt."
Getting a profile for their concerns -- even if only in an elitist cyberspace -- has also helped them get the message out. "Anything we publish there gets mentioned in Al Jazeera or the Christian Science Monitor," says Alaa.
But initially there was a hitch. Those leading the movement were new to this idea. Yet, these techies used their sites to influence the protest plans -- and make sure they didn't remain mild affairs restricted to middle-class areas.
They used the Inkscape software to create posters. An animation was created which was "very critical of the "state" in this glossary). As a general rule, "government" should not be capitalised.
Source: Wikipedia">governmentand distributed via CDs"
Alaa feels that "simple technology" can make the difference.
For instance, RSS feeds, email and even SMS sent out manually. Using a variety of media, they help build campaigns which are not based just on the typical "we object"
statements. The ones that send everybody into yawn-mode!
"You can start a campaign on the net, but you still need to use the mass media. Using the international mass media could help protect you," he believes.
Egypt has 500 blogs. Which Alaa feels is "quite small" for a country with a 70 million population. Says he: "Iran has 100,000 bloggers!"
While some dismiss these technologies as elitist, Alaa notes that they can help cover "violence and torture not covered by the mainstream media".
In the real world, cybercampaigns are not separable from life, he argues. Some campaigns start on the web, but their ripples are felt elsewhere, the 24-year-old techie points out.
In a blog-post he wrote from jail Alaa said: "On the surface it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be, but on the other hand it doesn't feel like the transformative experience it is told to be. It didn't make me stronger, it didn't make me believe more in "the cause". I still fail to see myself as an activist let alone a freedom fighter or a monadel."
"Less than 5-10% of Egyptians access the web. The poor don't access it. But then, the majority of the people don't read leaflets either. So, start with the web, but don't stop there. Don't forget leaflets. You need all possible tools and all available channels," says he. "No one would have predicted that blogs would be such an effective channel."

Judge rules Kountze ISD cheerleaders can display religious signs
BEAUMONT, Texas - A judge has ruled that cheerleaders at a Southeast Texas high school can display banners emblazoned with Bible verses at football games.
In a summary judgment of a lawsuit filed last year by Kountze High School cheerleaders, State District Judge Steve Thomas ruled Wednesday the banners are constitutionally permissible. In a copy of the ruling obtained by Beaumont station KFDM, Thomas determined that no law "prohibits cheerleaders from using religious-themed banners at school sporting events."
The ruling ends the case in Thomas' court. The lawsuit had been scheduled for trial June 24.
In October, Thomas granted an injunction requested by the cheerleaders allowing them to continue displaying religious-themed banners pending the lawsuit's outcome. Thomas at the time said the district's ban on the practice appeared to violate free speech rights.
"High school football games are a quintessential school event and cheerleaders are a key part of that event," said Anti-Defamation League Southwest Regional Director Martin Cominsky. "This decision flies in the face of clear U.S. Supreme Court and other rulings. The religious banners blatantly convey a message that the school supports and promotes one religion over any other. Not only is that inappropriate, the court should have found it unconstitutional."
