Girlfriends... The Movie? YES Please!
Bossip: Supporting cast member Keesha Sharp "Monica" did an interview with Cherry Martinez about how the show ended with no closure and hoping they can make a movie happen. And I vote YES to this:
Greenlight this!
"Everybody's talking about it, and I think that would be great…like a Sex in the City. At least give it some kind of closure to a degree and find out what happened to the characters in this past 5 years. We're all excited about that, everybody's talking about it, so we're crossing our fingers and hoping that it happens."
"All I can say is everybody's interested, and that's a start. 'Cause if Tracee wasn't interested, or Jill wasn't interested, or Golden, that would be a problem, but everybody wants it to happen. So we're just waiting to hear, 'Hey, we got the money.' So hopefully, that happens."Watch Keesha's interview with Cherry Martinez below:

My European Looks... What Do You Think?
|My outfits on our recent trip to Spain, Italy and France Oct/Nov 2011 - Click to see the pic larger.
Zigzag knit H&M Dress worn in Naples and Capri, Italy: I purchased this dress four years ago at the H&M on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. We were there to see the Roberto Cavalli for H&M collection the day after it launched only to see SOLD OUT signs when we got there. I purchased this dress from the clearance rack for just $12 bucks. The dress was a cute knit sheath dress when I bought it, but I recently put in an elastic waist for it to fit me a little better (recent weight loss). Sightseeing in Naples and the island of Capri Italy, I felt comfortable all day walking around in this H&M dress and Go Jane boots..
Green Soccer Jacket and Yoga Pants worn in Majorca, Spain: We were riding bikes through Spain this day so I wanted to make sure I was comfortable and appropriately dressed. Majorca, Spain was a beautiful city and the weather was really pretty that day. I can't remember exactly where I purchased the soccer jacket I wore, fitted black yoga pants you can get just about anywhere, the only items I remember where I got them are the green and yellow tank tops. They're from Old Navy.
Tan and Red Ensemble worn in Marseille, France: I hadn't even planned on packing my tan Gap Hat or my tan long sleeved tee (the red Old Navy "Rockstar" jeans (their name, not mine) were always coming along), but I'm glad I did! This has to be my favorite outfit from the trip and it kinda got put together by accident. I'd always planned on wearing the red jeans on this day, I just didn't know what I was wearing with them. I guess you can say the weather that day dictated that look and it just kinda fell into place nicely. The scarf that matched my tee, hat and shoes almost perfectly was $4 bucks from Forever 21. Marseille, France felt authentically French :)
Brown H&M Poncho and denim-look leggings worn in Monte Carlo, Monaco: Monaco was really posh and high-end. With it's jewelry stores (Cartier, Bvlgari, Fred) and luxury goods shops (CHANEL, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin) more Porches and Bentleys than you could count on the streets so I tried to look the part that day. I think I got it right, no? My black scarf was a gift from my cousin Ronda, she bought it in Egypt! Anyhoo, Monaco was really pretty, really historical (we got to see where Grace Kelly (Princess Grace) was buried) and really, really expensive.
Leather look Forever 21 Jacket and Levi's worn in Rome, Italy: This was the last day of our trip and we were TIRED. I think it kinda shows in my demeanor, lol. It took real effort not to throw on the sweats I packed to go out and look at centuries old ruins, but we ended up having a nice day that day that ended in Nutella Gelato. And OMG, yum.

Apart from Salford City Reds, there seems to have been little to excite in 2013
Luke Dorn reflects on what he feels has been a rather unspectacular start to the 2013 season
Last Updated: 21/03/13 11:11am
It hasn't really hit the heights yet. Don't get me wrong, we've had some good games, but in the past few years we seem to really have hit the ground running. As yet, no one has really stamped their authority on the competition.
Even at the teams that are doing well early on, no one is getting ahead of themselves. Nothing is won in February and March. It's more about performances, and making sure attitudes are in the right place. As long as everyone is putting in, then the coaches are relatively happy.
Obviously Huddersfield are sitting pretty at the top and performing well, but everybody else is beating each other, making it a strange old opening couple of months.
Perhaps it's because that although we are now considered a summer sport, in truth we have to play two different types of rugby during a season. The cold, wet conditions don't allow for expansive rugby that's for sure, and are perhaps a major reason for the lacklustre beginning.
I do think that people are now less concerned with how they begin the year. Leeds have taught us that it is not how you start, more about how you finish that matters.
Obviously every single game you go into you want to win, that goes without saying, but at this point of the new it's very much about picking up some points and staying in the top eight or in the top four, about not losing too many bodies and looking to peak later on.
You want your squad to be relatively fresh and find yourself comfortably in the top eight about three quarters of the way through. It's a very, very long season and it definitely takes its toll on players and fans alike.
Perhaps now it's a bit like boxers using a bit of ring craft, feeling their opposition out in the opening rounds and not wanting to go too hard, too early and running out of steam.
With technology these days, with GPS systems able to track just how much work a player does in training and a game, clubs are really able to look after their players.
You don't want to burn anyone out with plenty of rounds of Super League, as well as the Challenge Cup, to come. A lot of teams have young squads and don't want to put too much on them too soon.
There definitely seems like there's a warming-up period but Super League is ready to explode - we're going to get more upsets, more outstanding games and more cracking individual performances.
Red all about it
The one major talking point so far in 2013 has been the Salford City Reds, from the serious threat about their future to the arrival of a new owner in Dr Marwan Koukash.
No one likes to see a coach get sacked but it's not for anyone else besides the people involved to decide what is best. I thought Phil Veivers had done an amazing job probably under the most difficult circumstances a coach can face - he wasn't able to sign players and he had to try and keep guys focused and motivated when they weren't sure whether they'd have a job beyond the end of the week.
In truth, it's unfortunate that he lost his job but that the nature of the beast now.
We have a little bit of that football culture sneaking into our sport where results are what matters, and the people that have the power and put in the money are entitled to do what they like.
I don't want to say too much more on the matter to be honest, just in case the new owner comes out and criticises me...

Glacial ice in the Peruvian Andes that took at least 1,600 years to form has melted in just 25 years, scientists reported Thursday, the latest indication that the recent spike in global temperatures has thrown the natural world out of balance.
The evidence comes from a remarkable find at the margins of the Quelccaya ice cap in Peru, the worlds largest tropical ice sheet. Rapid melting there in the modern era is uncovering plants that were locked in a deep freeze when the glacier advanced many thousands of years ago.

Adelaide (PRWEB) January 13, 2014
Loneliness, sadness and inner darkness have plagued the human race since the beginning of time, often without remedy or even diagnosis. Today, however, humanity is more aware of these afflictions – and more capable of affecting change – than ever before.
Inspired by her background as a Reiki master and Doctoral student at the University of Metaphysics, author BDevine shares with audiences her abilities in spiritual guidance and healing in her new book "Angelic Guidance: A Four Part Guide to Easily Connect with the Angels and their Messages for You". Readers will be inspired by BDevine's unique energy healing systems and will connect with the angelic realm for the guidance and assistance so many need in today's world.
"With 'Angelic Guidance', I wanted to share ways in which people could easily begin to heal themselves and their lives, both present and past," said BDevine. "I wanted them to see that they are just as gifted and wonderful as anyone else, and for them to claim their own divine light they have inherited."
Readers of all ages and level of spiritual experience will learn to heal themselves, awake with true purpose, inspire greatness within themselves and find peace and strength in their lives.

Inniskillin Oak-aged Vidal Icewine (375ML half-bottle) 2007
Other Dessert from Canada
Winemaker's Notes
The Gold Icewine reflects lots of intense layers from its short exposure to oak. The peaches and apricot aromas and flavours develop into complexities of marmalade and candied brown sugar as it ages. The ample natural acidity is softened by the oak aging adding a creamy vanilla flavor.
The added complexities in this Icewine lend themselves to pair perfectly with Crème Brulee and Crème Caramel desserts, maple flavoured sauces, rich pates and blue veined and cream based cheeses.
Critical Acclaim
International Wine Cellar - "Golden yellow. Honeyed aromas of mango and guava, complicated by with hints of orange marmalade and vanilla. Enters the mouth rich and creamy, then lively acidity frames and lifts the flavors of tangerine, Meyer lemon and brown sugar. The 2006 Icewine harvest started on January 16, 2007 and was completed by the end of January. This is a very good icewine that shows even greater concentration than usual thanks to later picking in ideal low temperatures, but I have always felt that new oak mutes the aromas and flavors of icewines to varying degrees. "
Inniskillin Winery
Austrian-born and monastically educated, Karl J. Kaiser, and native Canadian Donald J.P. Ziraldo, a decendant of a family of winegrowers in Northern Italy, founded Innisklillin Wines on July 31, 1975, obtaining the first winery license granted in the province of Ontario since 1929. Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake at the historic Brae Burn Estate, Inniskillin was founded upon and is dedicated to the principle of producing outstanding wines from vinifera wine grapes grown in the Niagara Peninsula. Karl and Donald tirelessly tested the new ground of Niagara, grafting old-world wisdom in the new-world terroir. Inniskillin rocketed to international notoriety when its pioneering 1989 Vidal Icewine was awarded the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Vinexpo 1991, and drew worldwide attention to Canada's burgeoning wine industry.
What is Icewine?
VQA Icewine is a highly concentrated dessert wine made by harvesting grapes naturally frozen on the vine at -10 C in December-January. Inniskillin VQA Icewine is internationally awarded and recognized and is exported throughout the world. View all Inniskillin Wines

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

This can happen wether or not I have had enough sleep. There is a part of me that is not sure I want to know the answer. Yet I do want to know.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

An internship is a structured learning experience in a work setting that enhances a student's understanding of their career field of choice. A majority of internships are offered in the summer when the majority of students are available. However, depending on the arrangement they can take place throughout the year. Internship programs can be developed at private corporations, government offices and nonprofit organizations. Therefore, Internships can be paid or unpaid positions. More detail on compensation to follow.
Cooperative Education positions are paid positions that require students to work either full-time and return to school the following semester, or part-time while attending classes. Cooperative Education was originally conceptualized as a structured intentional work/learning experience designed to develop college students in technical and engineering disciplines to transition from education directly into their professions. Programs have broadened in scope, timing and variety of organizations and disciplines. Many employers now offer summer Co-ops and recruit Sophomores or Juniors to maximize the time for talent development as well as build a pipeline of strong candidates to make offers at the end of the experience just before graduation.
Internship is the most commonly used term to describe these experiential opportunities and will be used more frequently in this description.
For more information, or to recruit students for Internship or Cooperative Education positions, contact Career Services at the University of Arizona at (520) 621-2037 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Intelligent Workload Security
Dynamic Control, Portability and Flexibility with WorkloadIQ—Secure
Written by Ken Baker
In your physical and virtual environments when a user logs into a server and accesses certain files, you have the ability to view that activity within your log files. However, when you move your workloads to the cloud, its services and operating system might not be in your control. The workload might be hosted on a service provider's machine with layers of firewalls and proxies that prevent you from establishing the peer-to-peer, or point-to-point connections you need to make sure that the right people can access the workload services for the right reasons. The "secure" component of WorkloadIQ solves that problem by allowing you to inject intelligence inside of those workloads with the security and identity and access management layers you need.
As part of its unique approach to enabling intelligent workload management, WorkloadIQ focuses on enabling IT organizations to better manage and optimize their computing resources in a policy-driven, secure and compliant manner across physical, virtual and cloud environments. It gives you a simple way to securely manage workloads across physical, virtual and cloud environments by leveraging the Novell ability to integrate identity and security into everything you do. Using a broad portfolio of WorkloadIQ products, solutions and partners, you can take advantage of those aspects of its intelligent workload management that make the most sense for your organization. While four critical functions make up WorkloadIQ—build, secure, manage and measure—this article deals with the "secure" component of WorkloadIQ.
By leveraging Novell Identity Manager 4, as soon as one of your intelligent workloads comes online, Novell Identity Manager can recognize it as a unique, identifiable entity that can be dynamically provisioned by policy with the appropriate security, user access controls, monitoring and reporting.
Embedded Security Intelligence
Security and compliance are one of the major concerns for any enterprise. You have to ensure that you have the right levels of data protection and access control to protect your intellectual property, control access and to comply with government and industry regulations. That becomes increasingly difficult in a workload management scenario that needs to leverage physical, virtual and cloud environments. Your identity services need to be able to grow as dynamically as your cloud and virtual environment. You need to be able to flexibly manage security within the individual workloads themselves, including user activity monitoring across all of your different environments independent of where the workload actually resides. This type of balanced flexibility and control requires intelligence embedded inside your workloads.
WorkloadIQ delivers that ability by letting you inject or embed an intelligent identity footprint into your workloads. By leveraging Novell Identity Manager 4, as soon as one of your intelligent workloads comes online, Novell Identity Manager can recognize it as a unique, identifiable entity that can be dynamically provisioned by policy with the appropriate security, user access controls, monitoring and reporting. That built-in intelligence can allow Novell Identity Manager to recognize the purpose or context of that workload, talk to it, and act upon it in an appropriate and dynamic manner.
For example, you can use the user application in Novell Identity Manager 4 to trigger provisioning workflows, including leveraging its Role Mapping Administrator to provision the workload with user access authorizations and permissions based on their business roles in your organization. You could have it kick off a workflow process that notifies business managers about the availability of the workload's services. It could ask them if they want to turn on its access and security, and if so what type of security they want to turn on. Such options might be to leverage policy to automatically provision the workload with Novell Sentinel, Novell Privileged User Manager, Novell Access Manager, or any or all of the components that make up the Novell Compliance Management Platform.
Also, by using standard REST APIs to interact with the workload via the REST interface in Novell Identity Manager, you could also have other services interact with the workload to secure and provision it. The key is that it provides dynamic, flexible and intelligent access based on the purpose or context of the workload. You can determine what you want to happen when that certain type of workload comes online. As a result, you can create very lightweight, highly portable workloads that once injected with this intelligent footprint can be dynamically acted upon, expanded and secured as needed within a matter of hours, rather than the weeks and months that would be required to manually provision and secure other vendors' workload management solutions. Furthermore, at anytime you have the ability to change or apply new policies that can automatically and dynamically update and change how the workload is provisioned, secured and managed.
With the secure component of WorkloadIQ you also have the ability to easily and dynamically administer your workloads' access management services from anywhere.
Dynamic, Portable Workloads
With the secure component of WorkloadIQ you also have the ability to easily and dynamically administer your workloads' access management services from anywhere. This ability ties back to the intelligent identity footprints embedded into your workloads, as well as to the content package manager in Novell Identity Manager.
The content package manager in Novell Identity Manager allows you to easily create, distribute, consume and control your workload policies through modular packages that act as the building blocks for all your policies. This lets you create lightweight workloads with a baseline set of standard policies, and then as needed apply custom policies on top of them in a dynamic matter without having to do any hard-coded point-to-point scripting. So, instead of having to bring in a team of consultants or engineers to write policy code every time you deploy new workloads, with a few simple clicks you can dynamically apply the needed policy packages. In fact, you can even use a smart phone to easily add, modify, or remove policies from any of your workloads, regardless of whether those workloads are physical, virtual or in the cloud. The content package manager also automatically provides you notification of any conflicts or dependencies between policies and then helps resolve them.

Jun Yeup Kim and Le-Yin Zhang Formation of foreign direct investment clustering - a new path to local economic development? The case of Qingdao, Regional Studies. This paper investigates the clustering of Chinese electronics manufacturers, large and small, alongside established foreign producers in Qingdao, North China. It examines how the supplier-buyer linkages between foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) and local firms have driven the development of a successful electronic industry cluster around development zones established by the local authority, underpinning the success of the large domestic firms both at home and abroad. It also analyses how FIEs' collaboration with local firms fosters local economic development in Qingdao. By integrating the theoretical perspectives of the hub-and-spoke model from economic geography and flagship-and-five partner's model in the science of strategic management, it develops its own theoretical lens to investigate the inter-firm network between the FIEs and local firms. The secret of the success of the Chinese electronic producers lies in their ability to drive, rather than being subordinate to, this network.

"POLITICIANS seem to think that the science is a done deal," says Tim Palmer. "I don't want to undermine the IPCC, but the forecasts, especially for regional climate change, are immensely uncertain."
Palmer is a leading climate modeller at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts in Reading, UK, and he does not doubt that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has done a good job alerting the world to the problem of global climate change. But he and his fellow climate scientists are acutely aware that the IPCC's predictions of how the global change will affect local climates are little more than guesswork. They fear that if the IPCC's predictions turn out to be wrong, it will provoke a crisis in confidence that undermines the whole climate change debate.
On top of this, some climate scientists believe that even the IPCC's global forecasts leave much to be desired. ...

That threat came Sunday and caused hundreds of students to stay home from Russellville Middle School.
He wants to tell parents to monitor what their kids are doing online, especially since his son was targeted in that threat earlier this week.
Mike Pounders says Russellville Police arrived at his home around 1 a.m. Monday to talk to his son who attends Russellville Middle School.
At first he thought his son was in trouble, but that's when Pounders says police told him his son was targeted in an online threat.
Police gathered information from his son and then left.
Pounders says parents need to know what's happening online.
"You have to be part of social media," Pounders said. "That's how the world is nowadays. But I would be very selective on what you allow your kids to use."
Because of the threat, he decided to keep his son home from school Monday, and Thursday was his first full day back.
Police say nothing came from the threat, but investigators did arrest two juvenile girls.
That threat originated on a social networking site called ask.fm. The site allows users to post questions about themselves that people can answer anonymously, and has been linked to several cyber bullying cases.

Nokia Lumia 930 might not come at Microsoft BUILD after all
With leaks revealing the Lumia 630 and Lumia 930 the assumption was that both phones are getting ready to launch at the Microsoft BUILD conference, which starts tomorrow. But we've been seeing a lot of the Lumia 630 and virtually nothing from the 930.
A trusted tipster of NokiaPowerUser claims that the new high-end phone will indeed miss the BUILD conference. Other sources still claim that both phones will launch in April, but that doesnt necessarily mean at Microsoft's event (instead on April 19).
Windows Phone 8.1 is a certain participant of BUILD, even if the phones don't show up. Many details about it are still unofficial but the new OS version will be available for WP8 devices some time in early May, if rumors are to be believed.
You can see it in action in several leaked videos, running on the Lumia 630.

I run a small business, designing and building websites. Currently our websites we build use Adobe Flash.
We are thinking about migrating to HTML 5, are there any security advantages in doing such a thing?
I run a small business, designing and building websites. Currently our websites we build use Adobe Flash.
We are thinking about migrating to HTML 5, are there any security advantages in doing such a thing?
The risks of Flash are client side. When viewing an compromised site that is well designed (not susceptible to XSS), there should be no difference in security between Flash and HTML 5 since the content is not malware. The main security problem with flash is for the client. When they visit a site infected with Flash based malware, bad things can happen to their computer. It isn't a server side concern.
Security advantages on the server side, or client side?
For serverside (hacking the server - getting access to the server files) I don't see any advantages to do either one or the other. They are both files that do nothing. If you use PHP or another serverside language, that may cause problems, but then it's PHP, not Flash or HTML5.
On the client side, Flash is known to have vulnerabilities and it's used quite often to attack a client computer. It does not really matter if your sites use Flash or not. It does matter if the client has flash installed, but that's not your responsibility.
If a visitor has no Flash installed and is forced to install Flash because of your website, and then visits another site that has a mallware flash banner, then he might get infected. Is that your fault?
Let's assume your webserver is not hacked, so there are no files that will infect a client computer on your server.
One problem I can think of with HTML5: cross site scripting, when you use javascript that is not properly setup that allows this to happen. E.g. if you use eval(), that's risky. Should you avoid HTML5 because of this? No!
I know of a few security advantages that HTML 5 has when compared to flash and one disadvantage,this answer may not be complete
-HTML 5 updates are delivered through browsers hence there is a greater chance of users updating to the latest patch(as opposed to flash's 3rd party plugins that require separate updates)
-i believe that HTML 5 access to system resources is more restricted than that of flash(will have to confirm this one, i will update this point if needed after further research)
-A large group of companies(facebook,apple,google etc) have pledged their support to HTML5 and hence a lot of research will happen on the security aspects from multiple companies
I believe(not extremely sure) that a major security disadvantage of HTML5 is that an attacker can easily view the source code of a game as opposed to flash where the attacker will have to crack the swf file.(i have not done that before so i do not know how easy is it to do so)I will update this point too, if needed after further research
Apart from comparing html5 security to flash, there is a whole set of new features with html5(for eg cross domain access,offline storage) that can make it more vulnerable than regular html, but that can be another question.

It is that time of the year when they descend on this town in the streets with their sagging jeans, bright-coloured shoes, leggings, jeggings, jumpsuits, mohawks and different colours of hair pieces. I am not talking about aliens; the students are back from school for the long Christmas holiday and on Saturday they took over every inch of Garden City. They had come for the end-of-year buzz leavers kadanke at the shopping mall's rooftop.
Kenyan producer, deejay and emcee, Madtraxx was the main performer of the day. He was returning to Kampala after performing at the flopped Demarco show. He performed some of his hits like Boda Boda and Ita Waiter (call the waiter).
However, the young crowd didn't feel his flow until he performed Skamaress and the popular hit, Get Down. It was time to do the helicopter, mosquito, kuku, and sting dance moves that made the song big in the region.
He was joined by Keko to perform their collabo, Make You Dance. Keko later sang How We Do It before giving way to The Mith and JB from Klear Kut. Earlier, Vampino, Viboyo, Mun*G, Toniks, among others, had set the stage ablaze. The crowd totally loved Viboyo's remix of his latest hit, Zina, featuring Baboon Forest.
They also could not get enough of Vampino's Love To Dance. Allan Toniks used the chance to reach out to his high school fans who were away when he held his first concert at the same venue in October. He also used the opportunity to unwrap his latest - Mu Ngatto.
The entertainment scene needs a new breed of female emcees after Straka went into hiding, Karitas retired, while Crystal and Flavia favour corporate events. That's how Robin Kisti 'fell in things' on Saturday.
On a positive note, Uganda Cares, partnering with Aids Healthcare Foundation and the ministry of Health had a setup at the entrance where they did voluntary counselling and testing, it being World Aids day. Organisations handling drug abuse, road safety, and other related issues should also target such events to reach out to the youth.

How would you like to meet Demi Lovato at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, get an autograph and have your picture taken with the 20-year-old sensation?
And then watch her concert from right in front of the stage?
Just enter my "Meet Demi Lovato Contest."
To enter, go to chron.com/rodeocontest and answer the trivia question "Where was Demi Lovato born?" Spelling counts.
That's a clue; her birthplace knocked me out of a sixth-grade spelling bee - true story.
The winner will receive two chute tickets to the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 3. You'll get a bull's-eye view of the rodeo action from the bucking-chute area. When the concert begins, you can watch from your seats or bring folding chairs to the stadium floor in front of the stage. When the concert is over, your souvenir chairs are free to take home.
That's the difference between Mattress Mack and me - he only "practically" gives chairs away.
Now I'll do my Ron Popeil imitation … "Wait, there's more!" You and your guest also will get a steak dinner before the show, a Reliant Park season pass during the livestock show, ride tickets for the carnival and a parking pass.
The contest deadline is noon Monday. You must be at least 13 years old to enter, and only one entry per household please. I'll reveal the answer and announce the lucky winner in my column Feb. 28.
The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is pleased to welcome Miss Demetria Devonne Lovato to its famed rotating stage in the middle of Reliant Stadium.
"These types of shows, targeted to our younger audience … consistently sell out," said Leroy Shafer, chief operating officer of the rodeo. "But more important, these entertainers introduce the rodeo to a new audience that will stay with us for generations to come."
Lovato hit the scene big time in 2008 with a part in the movie "Camp Rock," followed by a starring role in the Disney TV series "Sonny With a Chance." Her debut CD, "Don't Forget," sold 500,000 copies in 2008. Her next two albums, "Here We Go Again" in 2009 and "Unbroken" in 2011, also struck gold.
Lovato was a guest at Kim Kardashian's "wedding" to the basketball player. Her mother was a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader.
In 2012, she was a judge on Fox TV's "The X Factor" with Simon Cowell and Britney Spears. Lovato was in charge of mentoring the "young adult" contestants.
She is a spokesperson for an anti-bullying campaign called "Mean Stinks," sponsored by Secret Deodorant. Lovato has been public about being a victim of bullies and her problems with alcohol and eating disorders. A recent cover story in Cosmo on Campus was titled, "Demi: how Ms. Lovato fought bullies, bulimia and booze - and won."
Rodeo officials expect her concert to be a packed house.
"These tweener acts have become critically important to the rodeo for a number of reasons," Shafer said. "They keep the rodeo fresh and our demographic young. We hold the concerts in the afternoon on the first Sunday of our run, and they are one of our biggest revenue days. The whole family comes and spends time and money at the carnival before and after the concert."
The rodeo defines a tweener as somebody between the ages of 7 and 19. They can't buy beer, but they buy a lot of T-shirts and funnel cakes. They ride the rides. They pop the balloon at the carnival. They feed the llama at the petting zoo. They get their faces painted.
And they beg Mom and Dad to come back next weekend. And next year. And the year after that.
Shafer has been with the rodeo for 40 years. He remembers how the show invited young entertainers in the '70s - like the Jackson 5, the Osmonds, Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy - but drifted from the young audience in the '80s and '90s.
"It was because TV stopped having musical-variety hours with young artists. But we started back with young acts in 2001 with Destiny's Child. We really picked it up in 2005 with Hilary Duff. Then we had Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana, then Miley Cyrus as Miley Cyrus," he said. "To show you how important the young acts are, in 2010, we had two days of tweeners, the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato on a Sunday, and we closed the rodeo with Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez."
Shafer remembers talking with Cyrus' manager during her performance in 2009. The manager asked Shafer to look at the crowd and tell him what he saw.
"I told him that I was looking at the future of the rodeo," Shafer said.
"I've been here a long, long time. The single loudest sound I've ever heard at the rodeo was when Miley Cyrus took the stage. Taylor Swift came close, but Miley is still the loudest."

Chopping wood topless continues to be well starred this month, for either sexes, until dusk, or at the time the cock crows, whichever happens first, on the 19th.
Neptune has left you a message somewhere on the History channel on the 7th.
Planet Mars is trying to develop a three finger gesture which is as rude as a one or two finger gesture, and it has chosen Gemini to come up with a solution this month. Help the planet out and you will be rewarded with a near superhuman mastery of junior electronics which will impress a young child later in the year.
Your begrudging realization that your signs of aging are becoming obvious is set to embolden you to take more risks with purchases on your credit card this month, especially if you are teetering on the edge of your upper credit limit in a US government type way.
This month your destiny winks at misfortune like it is a playful kitten.

The UpTake: Amazon may want to worm its way into indie bookstores with its new Amazon Source program enticing independents to sell Kindles. Our guess is that a lot of them won't bite. At any rate, Flavorwire has an awesome list of 45 indie bookstores around the country that are worth checking out this holiday season, just don't expect to find any Amazon products.

MONKSEATON High School in Tyneside, UK, has seen some amazing improvements in the past year. Absenteeism is down, punctuality is up and exam results have gone through the roof. Head teacher Paul Kelley cannot attribute these successes to better teaching or stricter discipline. Instead, he simply started opening the school at 10 am instead of 9 am.
The change was designed to synchronise the school day with pupils' body clocks. Teenagers are notoriously owlish, preferring to stay up into the small hours and sleep in till lunchtime. This isn't entirely their own fault: natural delays in secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin causes their body clocks to be shifted several hours backwards (see "Teenagers: Lost in time"). By aligning the school day with these biological rhythms, Monkseaton school avoids teaching teenagers when their brains are still half asleep.

Manchester's Local Personal Injury Specialists
At CK Claims, we pride ourselves on our personal approach. When you pick up the phone, you'll be connected directly to a qualified personal injury specialist with the experience and expertise to provide you with the advice you need, and explain how the compensation process works. We treat you like an individual, and that's what sets us apart.
We like to keep things simple, and that means being ready to answer your questions as quickly and accurately as possible. Unlike other personal injury law firms, we won't send you off to some faraway call centre. When you call CK Claims, you'll speak to someone with a real name who can give you genuine, professional advice.
Our No Win No Fee Promise
We always work on a no win no fee basis. That means that if we're not successful in claiming compensation, you won't have to pay us a penny.
Of course, we only take on cases where we believe there is a realistic chance of compensation being awarded. If you've been involved in an accident or suffered some kind of injury that you believe wasn't your fault, you may well have a strong compensation claim. When you contact us, we'll give you a frank and honest appraisal of your claim, and we'll let you know from the outset whether we recommend taking it further.
If we believe you have a valid personal injury claim, we feel it's important that we meet you in person to find out more about the accident and explain what happens next. We'll arrange for one of our friendly advisors to come and see you at home or at whichever location's convenient for you – this is a great opportunity for you to explain more about how the accident has affected you, and to provide us with any relevant evidence such as photographs or doctor's letters.
Stress-Free Accident Claims
We understand that the process of taking action against the person or organisation responsible for your accident can be stressful, especially after the stress caused by the injury itself. That's why we're committed to working with you on a personal level from the beginning, and doing whatever we can to make the whole process easier. That means explaining everything in simple language that you can actually understand – why would you want to listen to complex legal jargon that means nothing to you? Mancunians are well know for being outspoken and straight-talking, and that's what we're all about – we speak out on your behalf, and we relate to you on your own terms.
One thing that many people certainly don't look forward to is going to court, but this isn't always necessary, with many claims being settled out of court. If the case does go to court, we'll make sure you know what to expect and do whatever we can to put you at ease. Many people also find the prospect of dealing with a big pile of paperwork pretty daunting, but at CK Claims we do most of the form-filling for you.

The Lumia 900 is Nokia's most important smartphone launch ever. Microsoft and AT&T have a lot riding on this device, too, as its success will shape the future of Windows Phone in the US and beyond. With specs to spare, Nokia goes for the no-nonsense approach in with its flagship smartphone.

This flagship Windows Phone from Nokia hits all the key specs for a modern smartphone: huge screen, powerful camera, support for 4G, and a modern, edgy design. With aggressive pricing from AT&T, the Nokia Lumia 900 is tempting for many reasons and poised to be a hit. If you're even marginally interested in a Windows Phone device, this is the one you should look at first.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - As the weather gets warmer more people are heading downtown in Cedar Rapids. In less than a week, police have had to deal with two serious fights outside downtown bars, but officials said violence is not on the rise.
The first fight happened at The Vault early Sunday morning, which police said involved about 100 people.
The second was at Red's Public House Thursday morning, in which 32-year-old Justin Carey suffered a critical head wound. Police are still trying to find out what happened. "The cause for the physical altercation is still under investigation," said Police Chief Wayne Jerman.
Despite the late night fights, Jerman doesn't think violence is on the rise downtown. He said streets are as safe as ever and that incidents like these can happen in the summer when more people head out for fun.
"Whenever you have a large concentration of people who are frequenting these bars and restaurants, you are going to have some incidents. But I do not believe, yet, that there is any cause for concern," said Jerman.
Jerman said you can find the highest number of police on duty in the evening hours. And that as a standard, officers patrol bars around closing time to stop problems before they start.
Still, we wanted to know what you think. Is downtown Cedar Rapids getting too violent?
"I don't think so, compared to other communities," said Rachel Langholz, from Cedar Rapids.
"It feels pretty safe. I know sometimes the crowd, there's some kind of people that seem like they just get into trouble, but I haven't really seen anything," said Leann Hopkins, from Cedar Rapids.
"I always thought Cedar Rapids was pretty safe and a good place to come visit," said Paul Woods, who was visiting from the Cedar Falls/Waterloo area.
Those two fights happened on the night of two big events in Cedar Rapids, the Lady Antebellum concert and standup comedy from Daniel Tosh. Officials don't think they played a factor in any of the violence.

Cancer Registry of Greater California Boosts Collaboration with GoAnywhere
Industry: Healthcare
Often times our clients find that the GoAnywhere Suite helps them address a diverse number of problems in their organization.
This was especially true of Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC) when they set out to improve data movement between facilities while maintaining stringent PHI requirements.
The Challenge: Simple, Secure Transfer of Data with Partner Facilities
The CRGC was utilizing 20-25 secure email subscription services to transfer small files and emails securely. However, according to Cory Hamma, systems support manager for CRGC, "the file transfer size limitation, lack of organizational control, and complexity for the remote user led to a re-evaluation of available market options."
As the CRGC transfers mostly confidential patient data, a solution that meets the FIPS 140-2 requirements and provides a significant amount of security control was also a must. The diverse requirements of CRGC led them to choose Linoma Software's GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer Suite.
"We have significantly enlarged our use of GoAnywhere MFT, and it has become part of the conversation on almost every project we plan now," stated Hamma. Implementing the MFT solution has proven to be both effective and efficient for the organization.
Unlimited File Size
"Many research files exceeded 1 GB in size," said Hamma, "so the ability to remove that barrier entirely was huge." The Java uploader, combined with flexible file size limitations within GoAnywhere MFT, allowed even the largest research data sets to be transferred successfully.
One Way File Traffic
Workers at partner facilities received credentials to send files. CRGC, however, did not want to be liable for employees retrieving those files later from their personal computer at home. "We knew it was important to manage the flow of documents," Hamma stated. "GoAnywhere gave us a solution that worked well for both end users and system admins."
The granular file controls allow remote users to transfer files/folders to the server and verify their transfer, but then ensures that the files cannot be re-downloaded except by CRGC employees. Detailed audit logs ensure accurate documentation of who, when and where files are accessed.
Notification and Automation
When files are uploaded by a partner facility, employees -- or a team of employees -- are notified of each successful file transfer. This establishes a procedure for timely attention to uploaded files and ensures that files do not go unprocessed.
"Utilizing automation, CRGC will be able to submit these files directly into a workflow system, such as Sharepoint," added Hamma.
Secure Ad-hoc Email
Occasionally, CRGC has a need for one-time event file transfers.
GoAnywhere provides important safety features through its ability to specify a recipient's email address, the flexibility of allowing users to submit their own password or select from a pre-chosen random password, and a variety of package expiration options.
Empowering Employees
The freeflow of information encourages collaboration and streamlines workflows. "Elimination of roadblocks to collaboration is an important facet of Information Technology at the CRGC," said Hamma.
By removing these roadblocks, employees are free to interact and exchange documents without requesting or having to wait for access to an account. Streamlining these processes keeps information in motion to facilitate employee productivity on priority assignments.
Closure on Firewall Port Issues
By utilizing the unique GoAnywhere Gateway DMZ Reverse Proxy feature, no internal firewall ports were required to implement the software.
While there are many additional restrictions in-place on the CRGC network to monitor suspicious network traffic and security segmentation between all layers of servers, this feature alone allowed management to sign-on to the project with few security concerns.
About Cancer Registry of Greater California (CRGC)
Created in 2000, the mission of Cancer Registry of Greater California is to record timely and quality cancer information from all cancer patients in 48 California counties and utilize this information to help prevent cancer and reduce cancer morbidity and mortality.

ALBANY, N.Y. - Former Gregory-Portland High School standout Charles Guadagno, who plays football at the University of Albany, was charged with first-degree rape last week, Albany provost Susan Herbst said.
Guadagno posted bail and was released Monday.
Two days before charges were filed on Guadagno, freshmen teammates Lorenzo Ashbourne and Julian Harris were arraigned on a similar charge in connection with the attack.
All three players have been suspended from the university and team, Herbst said. According to police, the woman was an acquaintance of Ashbourne and Harris.
University police are investigating with the district attorney's office, but Herbst said there are no other suspects.
Albany competes in Division I-AA in the Northeast Conference. Guadagno, a freshman, hadn't seen any playing time so far this season.
