In addition, the Department intends to adopt the rest of the 13-point "action plan" that focuses needed attention on the problems of mistreatment generally and harassment of alleged or perceived homosexuals in particular. The plan ensures that commanders are ultimately responsible for training personnel on the Department's anti-harassment policies and holding accountable harassers and those who tolerate harassment. It also clearly states that information regarding sexual orientation is never necessary for a harassment complaint to be taken seriously. In that regard, it encourages the Services to teach all personnel, especially supervisors, that persons who receive such complaints must not ask about sexual orientation and persons who report harassment ought not disclose such information. Everyone must also be trained to understand the consequences of violating these principles.
A Department-wide directive will be issued outlining the key tenets of the overarching principle. It will emphasize that mistreatment, harassment and inappropriate comments or gestures, including those based on sexual orientation, are not acceptable.
Training and its effectiveness also featured prominently in the working group's deliberations and recommendations. One new initiative is the action plan's requirement that the Services must review their training programs annually to ensure they contain all information required by law and policy. It also requires them to tailor their programs to their audiences. To measure training effectiveness and compliance with DoD policy, the Services will be required to ensure feedback or reporting mechanisms are in place to measure knowledge, behavior, and climate.
Under Secretary of the Air Force Carol DiBattiste chaired the working group which was established by Cohen on March 24, 2000, to examine the findings of a Department of Defense Inspector General report on harassment of military personnel who are alleged or perceived to be homosexual. The group was comprised of senior civilian and military officials from each Service who met regularly for four months to consider such issues as eliminating mistreatment, harassment, and inappropriate comments or gestures; training; reporting of harassment; enforcement of policies prohibiting harassment; and measurement of anti-harassment program effectiveness.
In the course of its review, the working group requested and reviewed public comment, information on individual Service anti-harassment efforts, and briefings on the DoD survey from the DoD Inspector General and principles of behavior from the Behavioral Science Faculty at the U.S. Military Academy. At Secretary Cohen's request, it also considered the Army Inspector General report of investigation into PVT Winchell's death. The working group's recommendations address problems regarding harassment identified in the Army report.

GREENVILLE, S.C. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga freshman keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) posted her third straight double-digit saves game this season, but it wasn't enough as Furman beat the Lady Mocs 1-0 Thursday night in Southern Conference women's soccer action
at Stone Stadium.
"Taylor's got good hands," UTC Head Coach J.D. Kyzer said. "She's mentally strong and is doing a good job. Sometimes the situation just doesn't work out in her favor."
The Lady Mocs (3-10, 1-4 SoCon) held strong through the first half with Furman (8-3-2, 3-0-2 SoCon) getting off 10 shots. However, Mangrum snared six saves including one with just 13 seconds gone in the game for Chattanooga. The two teams went into the break in a scoreless tie with the Paladins holding a 10-3 advantage on shots.
"We talked about not letting them score early in the game like a few other games we had," Kyzer said. "We don't want that happening and we came out pretty strong. Furman is a very talented team and hasn't lost a conference game yet."
The second half started off all Furman and the Paladins capitalized on it with a goal from Rachel Shelnutt off a long volley to the right from Graham Marchman in the 49th minute to take a 1-0 lead that would stand up as the game winner.
Furman outshot Chattanooga 25-7 with 14 shots on goal to the Lady Mocs' four. UTC freshman Kerbi Towry (0) led the Lady Mocs with two of Chattanooga's four shots. Furman's Martha Hall had a game-high seven shots with six on goal while Ellen Moore sent five toward the goal. Caitlin Shelton and Shelnutt each pitched five shots with one of Shelnutt's finding the net.
Chattanooga returns to Finley Stadium for a three-game home stand starting with the "Pink Game" this Sunday against Wofford at 2 p.m. The Lady Mocs are joining the fight against breast cancer. Fans are encouraged to wear pink to the game. One hundred pink T-shirts will be given out at the gate along with 250 rally towels and 500 wrist bands. Live stats and video streaming will be available at GoMocs.com.

Tag – You're It! 5 Ways to Improve Title Tags in Your Ecommerce Store [SEO 101]
Title tags can be an important part of an SEO campaign. They let you tell Search Engines, and more importantly human users, actionable, vital information about your pages.
Here are some guide lines, not rules.
1. Lead Your Title Tag with Relevant Key Words - The first words in your title tag should be the keyword or phrase that you want that particular page to rank for. If you are using a secondary keyword, separate it from your primary by using the "pipe" character -> | (vertical line).
Use a second pipe after your secondary keyword to divide them from what I call the "human text." This is a message to humans searching for your site. It explains the keywords and gives them context.
A sample Title Tag might look like this:
"Barefoot Shoes | Barefoot Running | What are barefoot running shoes?"
In this example we want to rank for "barefoot shoes," and on this specific page, "barefoot running." The "human text" shows the readers that it's going to be an article about what barefoot running shoes are, as opposed to shoes for hiking or indoor exercise, etc.
2. Use Compelling "Human Text" - Remember, good Title Tags need to be useful for both search engines and search humans. They are not the be-all-end-all of your site's SEO and usability, but they do weed out the professionals from the amateurs.
Use the "human text" after the keywords to give your keywords some context. This helps humans narrow down their choices before clicking through to your website. Good human text can be actionable, and can help cut down on user disappointment/bounce rate. Almost everyone has clicked through on a good set of keywords, only to find completely unrelated content. Users faced with content they can't use often go somewhere else to find the content they want.
"Barefoot Shoes | Barefoot Running | Care and Maintenance of Your Barefoot Running Shoes."
This differentiates it from the article example in tip number one and lets humans know what they're getting before they click.
3. Don't "Keyword Stuff" - Don't just cram your Title Tags full of catchy keywords and think that it will drive traffic. If it somehow ranks, the stream of keywords just looks confusing and spammy at best, or downright incomprehensible at worst, to your human users.
4. Make All Title Tags Unique - Every page on your site is different, so you should have different Title Tags to help humans navigate the site.
5. Don't Neglect Your Alt Tag - If you're running an online store, then you're going to have lots of images of your merchandise. Be sure you assign a descriptive Alt Tag to every item in your inventory.
Good Alt Tags are functional and round out your site. While this can be a good place to slip in an additional keyword, don't try to spam the system.

Good "101" article.
Except it's not "alt tags". There is no such thing as an "alt tag". there's an "alt attribute" which provides "alternate text" for an image. Just mentioning this because it's important to help newcomers know the proper terminology which avoids confusion.
Other than that, these are great fundamental SEO suggestions.

Do you have any tips for optimizing self-owned competing sites?
My new client has two websites, and they sell many of the same products on both sites. They're geared to slightly different audiences, however the same limited amount of keywords are used by both audiences.
They want sales more from one site, so I was thinking about optimizing one site with keywords and the other more for branded queries. Thoughts?
The company and its original domain are known for one type of product. However, the company has expanded their product line and now offer a variety of services as well that reach a wide B2B audience. They didn't want to lose sales for that product, though, so they created a separate ecommerce site dedicated to the vertical.
The goal is to make the original domain rank better for broader terms (it's a powerful domain, so with enough links, it should be possible) and keep the new domain optimized for the product vertical.
Right now both sites pull from the same small keyword pool and compete head to head.
Thanks for the response, Rudd.

Nice simple on site optimisation tips for online stores. Unique titles are a must as there are often a lot of duplicate content issues with titles and meta tags being used.

How to Use Analytics to Understand What Your Visitors Don't Want
You may have installed Google Analytics on your site and spent time poring over the multitude of reports that it provides, but are you struggling to get actionable ideas out of what you are seeing? If so, don't worry, it can be like this for many in-house staff members or site owners, especially if you are trying to fit learning Analytics in around your other commitments. This post is designed to give you some ideas about where to start - they're sure to boost your understanding and you might find that you are inspired to investigate some theories of your own!
As an aside - it is getting more and more important to ensure that your site has good usability, since Google have been indicating more and more loudly that this is a factor they are looking at. It makes sense to use the tools at your disposal to check for any issues.
Improve Pages that Users Aren't Finding Useful
One of the most important elements that Google Analytics can measure is visitor engagement. This is the set of metrics that helps you decide what information is interesting to your visitors. While it might not always be content that immediately leads to conversions if you have interesting copy on site it can act as "link bait" and encourage people to link to you.
Typically, good content has a lower bounce rate and a higher average time on page. It's worth starting simple and listing the pages in the Analytics content report by descending bounce rate, and filtering the results to show unique page views higher than 50. This is so you can identify the pages that are getting a high bounce rate which have enough data to confirm there really could be issues.
If you only have a low number of page views on a certain page it's likely that you will have a higher bounce rate, because it will only take a small number of bounces to skew the data.
Focus in on Traffic Sources
Once you have spotted a page that has a high bounce rate (and anything over 50-60% is to be considered high) you need to try and identify the culprits for it.
Things to check out straight away are the mediums and sources sending traffic to the page. To do this I would actually recommend working down the top 10 pages you have identified and clicking into each one from the content report, so that you can see the sources sending traffic to this location only.
So, click on the top result and then select "secondary dimension" - "medium". This will reveal the overall medium that is causing the highest bounce rate, whether it's referring, organic, paid, direct or a custom campaign.
If you notice that referring sites have a higher bounce rate you can then drill down further to reveal the site name by changing the secondary dimension to "source".
If you notice that organic traffic is causing a particularly high bounce rate, change the secondary dimension to "keyword". If it's paid traffic that is causing an issue, you can try changing the secondary dimension to campaign or ad group, to get a better picture of what isn't working.
How do you Reduce the Bounce Rate?
Well, there are a few steps that you can take, but the answer depends on what the issue is.
If you have discovered a number of sites that are sending traffic with a high bounce rate, make sure that those sites are really relevant to yours. If you have acquired the link from that site via link building, have a look at the tactics underpinning your link building campaign. You should really only be looking for links on related sites - the less related they are the bigger the spam signal you are sending to Google. This is really something you want to avoid, especially since Penguin.
If it's certain paid or organic keywords, it's time to review your keyword research. Maybe you think that your customers search for "apples" but really they are looking for "apple pies in London". Get specific, review your customer feedback, look at your competitors and check what is converting. "Apples" might be a high volume term, but if 90% of people visiting on that term bounce, it's wasted money and effort.
If there aren't any obvious culprits, the hard answer is that your content is simply not engaging enough. This can sometimes be a difficult message to deliver, but keep the solution in mind. If you can write some standout copy that demonstrates your expertise, answers customer questions, does something funny or really showcases your talent you are going to be getting better results from your existing traffic and multiplying that traffic, as people link to your content. If you can add eye-catching images and videos this often helps. If this is something you struggle with, it may be time to speak to your local online marketing company or web designer.
Hopefully that gives you some simple pointers for identifying what visitors are finding less interesting on site. Time to turn it around so the next time you are analysing the huge improvement in visitor engagement!

5 Responses to "How to Use Analytics to Understand What Your Visitors Don't Want"
Great post. Google Analytics gives you so much information, it can be tough to sort through.
It's good to draw people's attention to bounce rate, Liz, but one factor people would need to consider is whether a particular page with a low bounce rate could have achieved its goal even though people leave after reading it.
For example, what if a store posted a page just with their holiday opening hours. If that is the purpose of the page, and people look for that information specifically, find it, read it and leave, then it's mission accomplished, even if the bounce rate is 90% or whatever.
The same applies if you post your phone number or email address at the bottom of your page as a call to action, and you get a lot of phone/email enquiries off that page. Your analytics may tell you that page has a high bounce rate, but you could well have received quite a few leads from it – it's just not showing in your stats.
So I agree: bounce rate is important to look at and you can learn a lot from it, but you need to consider a couple of things before you draw conclusions and possibly remove pages that are performing after all.
Google Analytics is not the best place to turn to discover what your visitors want and don't want. Staring at Google Analytics and postulating theories why the "data" is behaving this way will leave you fixing problems that don't exist and not fixing ones that are so obvious you've forgotten them months ago. Best to actually talk to your users to understand what they want. Instead, using the ethn.io screener to talk to users coming from your problem traffic source or page will yield much more actionable insights and more in-depth understanding of your users, then use Google Analytics to validate those insights.

READ THE LATEST INTERVIEW WITH SANTE AT http://www.vogue.it/en/people-are-talking-about/art-photo-design/2010/12/sante-d-orazio
Anna dello Russo, Italian, Extravagant, Style icon. These are only a few words frequently used to describe the Matriarch of the Fashion blogger fame and the fastest growing brand of any known fashion editor today. Determined to express her point of view, ADR has chosen a path that gives her slightly more freedom than that allowed by the politics and pressures of an increasingly more corporate industry. This season she managed to add yet another title to the ever growing list of positions played, styled by Katie Grand-a-minute for Emanuel Ungaro, Anna wasn't just in attendance, she was a model in the show. Now, she sits with us to discuss her story, interests and the system by which she selects her stunning looks from the runways. Before our time was up, Anna also played dress up with designer and visual artist, Rad Hourani who both photographed and styled our latest subject exclusively for ONE interviews & Models.com.
Christopher Michael: Anna Dello Russo… This is your real name?
Anna dello Russo: Yes (laughs), it's mine.
CM: At what point in life did you realize you were as obsessed with fashion as you are now?
ADR: I was born in the south of Italy where there is no fashion, and as young as I can remember, I started to wonder how I could work with fashion because where I was from, there were no opportunities to do something with it. Where I'm from, there is just one mini boutique, nothing else…so not having access to it all had caused me to become quite obsessed. I thought for a moment that I should start my own boutique but then my father said "No way! After university!? You should go for it all the way, go to Milan and become what you want, a journalist."
CM: What did you study at university?
ADR: Historic art, of course that was another reason I loved fashion. If you notice in all of the antique art, there are all the styles, proportions, colors and composition that are used in fashion. I studied all historic art, no contemporary.
CM: In the documentary called "CATALK" Andre Leon Talley was asked if he thought fashion was art, and his response was. "No fashion is not art, fashion is hard work!" I wanted to ask you this same question…Do you think that fashion is art?
ADR: No, absolutely not. I think fashion is a muse, like music, like art, they are all muses. Fashion is a popular communication, whereas art is more of an elective communication. I don't believe fashion is art, no.
CM: I've been told that in the beginning many years ago, you were very shy… Is that true?
ADR: Yes, I was invisible! I was a beginner, first of all, and secondly I was a hard worker. At the time I didn't have time to show off. I spent all my time and energy learning about photography, about shooting, about modeling. I didn't ever think to dress up or put make up on myself because I was just working as much as I could to understand fashion and the images of fashion. I worked with the best photographers in the world, if I was next to Helmut Newton, I couldn't think about hair and make up on myself! I was such a beginner, but I believe everything comes at the right time. That's why I always say to young people now, visibility and blogging and all of that, it is not enough; don't think this is the work. That is a beginning, it is a starting point. After that you have to put your energy into the job, and not just in parties and showing up to shows. I never used to come to New York for the shows, it was always only Paris. I remember, if Franca would take us to Paris, it was an incredible season. We didn't have time to go and see the shows. I remember thinking, those people are so lucky to sit on the bench! After the shows in Paris, we would always work right away.
CM: So you would just pull directly from the shows you were watching for the shoot happening right after the week was done?
ADR: The first day of shows was fantastic…The second day, we would be choosing the looks from the collections for the stories already. Every month I was doing a shooting. Back then I was working with about 10 luggages, no assistant. I remember one time, it was quite funny, one of the American based editors called and said "Hello may I please speak to the shoe editor?," and I remember looking at Alice [gentilucci] going, "Shoe editor? What are they talking about shoe editor?," because it was just the two of us in the fashion department, that was it. It was a whole other level. Italians, we did an incredible job with no money and no assistants. Now it's like having revenge, I come just to see the shows and I have time to dress myself up and all of this, it's like a miracle.
CM: What originally lead to you leaving Italian Vogue?
ADR: I spent 12 years at Italian Vogue as Fashion Editor, after that Franca asked me to become the editor in chief of L'uomo Vogue and of course I said yes. I spent another 6 years at L'uomo Vogue, after which I left because I wanted to sort of, start my own career. I really wanted to go back to working on women. Then I was offered the position at Japanese Vogue.
CM: It seems that you are the real Matriarch behind the birth of the fashion blogger fame, after originally suggesting to Stefano and Domenico that they sit the bloggers front row… How did you come up with this idea?
ADR: I was talking with Stefano and Domenico saying that I believe there is a big evolution happening right now from the background. With magazines being so expensive, it was hard to reach the younger audiences and these bloggers were reaching those young people with their sites. I never felt the power of this evolution as much as now. We are always talking about the industry and trying to understand where it is, where it is going, etc. I said, "To me, this is an incredible, incredible phenomenon." I'm lucky in that Stefano and I grew up together, we are the same age and he's the best friend I have in the fashion industry.
CM: What was the catalyst for you where you decided to really come out and become your own brand?
ADR: I didn't come out and talk about my brand, I talked about my freedom. At that time, I was thinking about my own expression, because of course I love Japanese Vogue, but in any case, I was thinking to express myself. I thought, I should really jump in this world and have a voice to really express myself. With magazines, you don't really express yourself; you express a corporate vision, you express the vision of Conde Nast. It's not really your point of view. You can't say in the magazine what you really like, it's all a very political vision. So I thought, maybe I should spend some time and energy to finally have my little voice, and now it's happening.
CM: To the onlooker it would appear as though you are quite a big fan of social media across the board…
ADR: In the beginning I was so uncomfortable with it all, but now I love things like twitter; it's very immediate and you can reach people NOW. Also, during fashion week it can be very informative. Sometimes if I miss something or forget something I'll end up seeing it on twitter. Another example is when I found out that Nicola Formichetti became the new creative director of Thierry Mugler via twitter. That's what makes it incredible, you are staying in touch with your job in a spontaneous way. It's really great.
CM: So it goes without saying then that you are a fan of how fashion has evolved into a much more accessible industry in place of the sort of closed off elitist world that it used to be…
ADR: Yes, because we spent 20 years closed up in our cage; in the past we sometimes didn't go after the shows to say hi to the designer, even. It was more of a snobby attitude, it was too much. Now I completely love the fact that young people come to me and talk and you feel that sort of audience. I remember the years I was at L'uomo Vogue and I didn't feel the audience. I'd find myself asking, who is the reader of this magazine? Straight, gay, old, young I had no idea. There was no way to really experience your audience. I find the way fashion has become now to be far more real and approachable.
CM: Being fascinated by the industry as a whole and it's evolution, with bloggers having been a huge part of that constant change, what do you see as the next big evolution in our business?
ADR: That is a good question, I really don't know where we are going, I really don't know. To me, the speed of fashion is slowing down a little now, everyone seems to be getting to the roots. For example, everyone talking about heritage, roots and the history of fashion. This is nice.
CDR: I think that's really nice to hear. Everyone has felt such pressure to mass produce and do so in a hurry, the idea of slowing down and 'smelling the roses' so to speak is nice. Speaking of new and change, you've been working a lot with Giampaolo Sgura…
ADR: Yes, I love him! He's from the same city as me. For me, I get very excited when working with young people and to see how they see things. For me it's about getting new and fresh air, and to not get stuck in my position, otherwise it's already done. Giampaolo is an example of that fresh air, and at the same time going back to the excessive fashion of the past but doing it in a modern way.
CDR: Who was the first magical moment for you working with a photographer…
ADR: Two moments, one was a moment with Helmut Newton; he took a picture of me, he was the first one to take a picture of me actually. That was in 1996. He said to me, "listen, after we finish shooting, I'd love to photograph you." I was afraid thinking, is he going to want to shoot a nude picture of me? And said, "Are you sure Helmut?" and he said "Yes, take your long long black coat…" and we did the picture. The second was with Steven Meisel. I remember the first time I was so hot it was as if I had a fever, just from the nerves. Then he arrived and he had black hair and I said "oh my god, HE looks good too. What do I do!" He was so beautiful and, of course he was speaking English to me at a time when I did not speak English so well. During those years there was only one that I missed the chance to work with, which was Avedon, Richard Avedon.
CM: With all this talk about the 90′s, what sort of changes do you feel have occurred in magazines today in comparison to publications during the 1990′s…
ADR: First of all, in the 90′s everything was TOP…Top model, top photographer, top designer, all top. I felt like a little mouse, everything was huge in terms of proportion. When I used to come into the studio I always felt like such a little mouse, because you used to arrive and Claudia Schiffer was there, Linda Evangelista, Francois Nars… Everything was in huge scale. Now, the approach is much more democratic in a way, much more easy and cool, more approachable. There is a possibility to have different kinds of levels simultaneously. At that time, the level was pretty pretty high across the board. I remember some clothes were only reserved for Vogue, no other magazine was allowed to use them. Now, every magazine looks good because they have access to all the collections. Of course the economic pressures are starting to become more and more obvious since the recession, the client and the magazines both have to sell. In terms of how the work is approached, things are more 'easy' now.
CM: Well before there was less of everything, there were 20 models and now there are 3,000. There is more of everything from designers and photographers to stylists and magazines, all of it… Do you prefer working in this way over how it was when there was less of everything?
ADR: It's not about one being better than the other, it's about each time being different.
CM: Anna Dello Russo, the lady of looks, going through so many outfits in a day and over the entire show season. What goes into the selection of your clothing?
ADR: It has to be top level. I love catwalk outfits because they always have a lot of creativity. Full looks are good, I don't like mixing. I share the passion with the designer, why should I mix it? They do very well with the catwalk pieces. I love when you can look and say "Oh this is a Givenchy, this is Balenciaga," I love when it's flashy clothing.
CM: You travel quite frequently but you've managed to keep your base in Italy, do you think that will ever change?
ADR: Yes because Italy is such a nice place to live, the quality of life here is so wonderful. First, of course I have my family here and secondly because it's such a great place to live. When I travel around the world I love it, but how you can live in Italy is so easy. When I'm home in Italy, I don't need anything, and the best city to go shopping is still Milan. The best selection, most of the clothes are done in Italy, the best place to go shopping is in Italy because you have an incredible selection of everything. Easy access, I still love to travel but I can tell you, in a couple of years I hope to be in one place and just enjoy the life.
Barbie has landed her dream work placement assisting one of the world's most influential photographers, Nick Knight, and the SHOWstudio.com team. From this Sunday, Barbie will be posting live video updates to the SHOWstudio.com blog documenting her experiences there; this is Barbie-behind-the-scenes with unique access to the core of London fashion.
Based at SHOWstudio.com's Mayfair HQ, Barbie will be: chasing London Fashion Week show tickets for herself and the fashion team, sitting in on SHOWstudio.com brainstorming sessions, assisting on shoots, making studio visits to artists and designers, as well as doing the coffee run to Starbucks. One of her first tasks is to help install The SHOWstudio.com Shop's latest exhibition 'In Wolves Clothing: Re-Imagining the Doll' which launches as part of Fashion's Night Out next week, and in which Barbie Video Girl features.
New Barbie Video Girl Comes with built-in video camera and LCD screen
New Barbie Video Girl is not just a doll, she's a video camera too, the camera lens hidden in her necklace, and a video screen on her back, allowing you to record and view movies instantly. It's moviemaking from a Barbie doll's point of view, literally, and includes USB plug-in cord, is Windows/MAC compatible, with the facility to record up to 30 minutes of footage, while software allows for adding music, visual and other sound effects; you can record your own movies and add special effects.
Barbara Millicent Roberts – more famously known as Barbie – is a fashion doll and figurehead of Mattel. Since 1959 she has been recognised as the original teenage fashion model. In the past 50 years, she has established herself as one of the world's leading fashion icons. She's been dressed by the best, including: Prada, Burberry, Chanel, Roksanda Ilincic and Danielle Scutt; more than 100 million metres of fabric have gone into making her fabulous wardrobe and she has had over one billion pairs of gravity-defying shoes, most recently created by Christian Louboutin.
She first broke the plastic ceiling in the 60s when, as an astronaut, she went to space four years before man walked on the moon. In the 80s she took to the boardroom as 'Day to Night' CEO Barbie, just as women began to break into management. And in the 90s, she ran for President, before any female candidate ever made it onto the presidential ballot. This year, Barbie takes on several new careers, including: snowboarder, ballroom dancer and racecar driver. Her 126th career was recently announced as computer engineer, set to launch early 2011.
Watch http://showstudio.com/blog from this Sunday to catch a Barbie's-eye view of London Fashion Week, uploaded live by SHOWstudio.com's latest helping hand.
Christopher Michael: You had mentioned before how Madonna was the most collaborative person in terms of the artistic process out of everyone you've ever shot, what made you decide to put her on the cover of your new book in particular?
Tom Munro: Well I guess, she is perhaps Madonna and one of the most iconic figures, but the actual idea came to me to use the book as a means of highlighting an African charity that I've been working with called Meak. After the collaboration with Madonna, she invited me to go to Malawi with her for a week, which I did in April of last year. I saw all of the things she was doing there, so I asked her if I could include Raising Malawi (www.raisingmalawi.org) as one of the beneficiaries of whatever proceeds we manage to make from selling the prints. So in the end, it sort of just seemed a natural step to put her on the cover with Raising Malawi being included in the book.
CM: In your works, you tend to be a walker between worlds in a sense, with your hands both in celebrity as well as fashion. Which realm of your work would you say defines you more?
TM: I think the celebrity portraits sort of materialized and came about through celebrity endorsements, from fragrances and that sort of thing. I also had a contract with Details for 3-4 years and I shot a lot of male celebrities. I ended up building relationships with, you know, Justin [Timberlake] and Patrick [Dempsey]. So when they were endorsing products we got together on those, like with Justin and the Givenchy fragrance, Play. I've also done various things with Leo [Di Caprio] for his film promotions and such. We've just done something with Warner Brothers for Inception, his new movie. With Patrick Dempsey, we've done Avon fragrances and such, so it was really through editorials and stuff that I've managed to work into these celebrity endorsements. I don't know, I suppose one becomes known for taking celebrity portraits but it's something that was sort of a progression for me from being a fashion photographer and was never something I really pursued, it just evolved I guess.
CM: Obviously, the subject of celebrities moving in on the territory previously dominated by the models is a conversation that's been going on for years at this point. Do you feel it's something that's finally stabilized or do you think that celebrities continue to gain more ground as time goes by?
TM: Well, certainly in terms of advertising it still seems to be pretty strong. However, it seems to be more cosmetics and fragrances, and less about fashion, in terms of what celebrities take on. I think there are kind of defined areas that celebrities really tend to occupy and that there is room for everyone in the end.
CM: I like the idea of looking at it that way…I read that photography was something that you started to play with in your mid 20′s after you had been travelling and that one of the places you had been travelling to at the time was Bali. It's one of my favorite places and has such an incredibly spiritual nature to it, I wanted to find out if you had any sort of revelation during your time there at all? Or if photography was born of some other process going on in your life at that time…
TM: I was traveling with a bunch of friends and we were sort of getting up to no good and having a good time. Basically, taking pictures was just a hobby; a friend said that I should do it seriously. For me, the idea of making a living as a fashion photographer, particularly having grown up on the country side of England, to move to New York and become a fashion photographer was sort of a very alien concept. When I had returned to London I had been travelling for a period of 9 months already I think, and a friend of mine was taking a photography course and suggested I take it with him so I did. It wasn't born of some undying passion or anything, it was more of a 'why not give it a go' sort of thing. That class ended up being a provincial course that led me to transfer to the London Institute, which took me to Parsons and New York. One thing lead to another and I started working with Steven Meisel. It was during my time working with him that I thought this was sort of my time to actually do this and be serious about it. It was a great experience working for him, when I left, I was 32 and I really just thought, I have to make this work because I'm too old to change tracks now, so I just stuck at it basically… not to say that I didn't enjoy it.
CM: What would you say are amongst the most prominent traits you learned from your time working for Steven?
TM: Prior to working for him I worked for a more commercial photographer in London and we'd go to Miami and put a long lens on the camera and that was pretty much it. The first shoot I did with Steven where I was sort of being 'tried out' was an Italian Vogue shoot with Christy Turlington and a few other girls. Christy was standing in a galvanized bathtub with Wellington boots on in the middle of the garden with a headscarf on in black and white, and it was so removed from wide angle lenses and things and anything else I had experienced before. Over the years, apart from learning technique and lighting, I just basically learned to open my eyes and sort of explore things creatively, further than I certainly had ever thought of doing before. Steven is an incredibly versatile photographer, probably the most versatile photographer, so when I left I certainly didn't have his talent and still don't but I understood how to light in many different ways… Where I came from, everything was very formulaic and I sort of knew where to put the camera in order to make someone's legs long and that sort of thing. So I was kind of winging it to begin with, I didn't have my own style or voice yet. I mean if you know how to light and you know and understand composition, that's half the battle I think. You obviously also have to have an affinity for beauty; it's all those things combined. I sort of left Steven with having learned all those elements in my head, and it was truly a great experience. He would take pictures in no light, whereas in my previous position in London we would have stopped shooting by then. With Steven, he pushed film as far as it would go in those days before everyone started using digital… You know, he would purposely shake the camera or knock it or something in order to create more emotion from the slightly blurred effect. All the things that one wouldn't do because everything had to be sharp and precise, it was just a discipline and a different approach to photography.
CM: You've just referenced the arrival of digital and the exodus of film which reminds me of something that Olivier Theyskens mentioned as well… How in times past, the legendary photographers would both create and maintain their work and reputation on 10 epic shoots a year. Whereas now, with the arrival of digital there is such an impatient pressure to mass produce everything and photographers are not given the time to really find a moment of grace caught on camera. Do you feel that to be true even since you've started?
TM: It's interesting because I've been having this conversation with my agent recently. The industry has changed so much from the days of Avedon and Newton and Penn. They would do one editorial a month perhaps, like you said- it was a limited amount of editorial, or a book that would really define them. They had to keep evolving then within each work, which is one of the most difficult challenges of being a fashion photographer… You have to keep re-inventing yourself but sort of within the borders of your own world. It makes it difficult to draw that fine line between cranking it out every day and trying to approach it with more of an intellectual fashion with a sort of greater honesty towards yourself. It's hard to do that when you are shooting back to back. I mean, in the last couple of years I've done roughly 60 shoots a year and running from one airport or plane to the next and getting off a plane and going to a job, it's hard. I'm not sure it's the right way to be doing it, but it's not all bad because it means there is a demand and something one should be grateful for. I think it's just how the business has evolved and it's still very much about images, but perhaps less so than it was 20 years ago. The immediacy of digital has a huge part in that evolution. I mean, it used to take a week to pull something together and now you do it as you go along throughout the day. I mean, when we used to shoot film we'd be doing Polaroids and then spending 30 minutes trying to get back to what you achieved in the polaroid. That's one of the best things about digital photography, that you don't have to go back and get it because you already have it.
CM: What do you find to be the most relevant subject or change that's occurring in the business today?
TM: Certainly there is a sort of movement towards embracing femininity and we clearly went through a period that was all about androgyny and boyish models so I'd say that's obviously changed. Maybe it's also because I'm getting older (laughs). But in fashion photography, you are embracing their intellect, their beauty, and their sexuality and in my pictures I like to portray women with certain strength. I think for me, shooting young girls who are androgynous is sort of quite hard to bring that (strength) across. I've never really been a huge fan of the really young models in terms of shooting them. We are all conditioned to view the world and fashion in a certain way, and it gets very political when the girls look anorexic and 99.9 % of the population doesn't look like that. At the end of the day we are selling clothes and, like seeing a film, fashion creates something for people to aspire to or want to be a part of and it has to ensue those emotions. In turn, part of one's job as a fashion photographer is to create something that people aspire to, and because of social demand we like to see something slightly more idyllic than a model absent of gender or legal age.
CM: What do you hope is the next great big shift and leap in fashion photography?
TM: I like shooting beautiful women so what's going on now works wonderfully for me. I think looking back on fashion photography from the 60′s, 70′s and 80′s the women were beautiful women. I think that there is a handful of girls now that fall into that category… I think that hopefully we can stay in a world that is believable. I mean there are always going to be people that are more beautiful than others but it's about celebrating femininity and intellect and beauty. That's actually a really hard question because on the other hand, the sort of shock factor of the 80′s and punk was equally interesting but in a completely different way. I think that we are going through a good moment for me and in terms of where the industry is but it would be boring if it stayed the same. Things have to keep evolving which is why models and photographers all change. You have to stay on top of the game and I don't know what the next stage is going to be…

Charnwood Forest Railway
Interest in a Charnwood Forest Railway was first expressed by LNWR as a way of
getting a foothold in the coal mining area. In 1874 the Charnwood Forest Company was incorporated
to lay a single-track railway between Loughborough and the Ashby & Nuneaton Joint Railway (ANJR)
line near Coalville. A ceremony marking the beginning of work was held on a very rainy day, 31st August 1881.
The first turf was cut by Lady Packe of Prestwold Hall and Squire De Lisle wheeled the first barrow
load of soil over a plank, but, due to the rain he slipped and spilled the lot.
The line was some 10¼ miles long with 7 bridges over the Gracedieu
Brook and 22 road bridges or cattle arches. The gracedieu Viaduct was 40 yards long
with 3" by 15" coping stones from Mountsorrel. There was a rock face of 20 yards to go through at
Thringstone and in order to swing the curve at Gracedieu a cant of 6" was required. The line
also had a severe gradient of 1 in 66 between Whitwick and Coalville East.
The line was opened on the 16th April 1883 and in 1907 halts were added at Thringstone, Gracedieu
and Snells Nook. In 1906 there was a move to join up with the Central Line at Loughborough, but,
nothing came of it and the terminus remained at Loughborough's Derby Road.
It was worked from the outset by LNWR who had subscribed a third of
the capital in exchange for half the receipts. The railway was adjudged to be bankrupt in 1885 and
placed into receivership where it remained until 1909. On leaving the hands of the receiver
it remained a separate company until becoming part of the LMS in 1923.
In passenger days it was known as the 'Bluebell Line' or by the drivers and firemen as the
'Bread and Herring' Line. Passengers trains were operated
by an LNWR steam railcar (shown above leaving Whitwick Station), though 2-4-2 tanks. 0-6-0 freight and
0-6-2 'Coal Tanks' also worked passenger as well as freights. In 1922 you could leave Euston at 5.35
change at Nuneaton and Shackerstone and be in Whitwick at 8.32.
Passenger services were withdrawn on 13th April 1931, but during the war the line was of paramount
importance. Large amounts of roadstone from quarries was conveyed to new aerodromes throughout the
country. The line also served a number of ammunition dumps, the army ambulance train was kept at
Loughborough, rubber was stored at Shepshed and the USA Post Office was based at Coalville East.
After the war excursion trains ran on the line and on the 14th April 1957 "The Charnwood Forester"
was the last train to run through to Loughborough. The last excursion on the line
occurred in 1962 when the Manchester Railway Society ran an excursion to Shepshed and back.
Loughborough goods yard closed on 31st October 1955 and the remaining goods services closed
on 7th October 1963, except for Shepshed quarry traffic which lasted to 12th December 1963.

Watch 2001: A Space Odyssey As a 60-Second Cartoon
2001: A Space Odyssey earns the term "epic" more than almost any other movie. The two-hour-and-forty-one-minute cinema classic is an absolute must-watch. But if you don't have that kind of time, Speedrun just very loosely condensed the plot down to a mere 60 seconds. »

Sammy's top-end new effort pegged for Febraury announcement.
Android 2.3 Gingerbread's imminent arrival has caused quite a stir among phone fanatics. And now we're getting a glimpse of the some of the first hardware to pack in the all-new version of the ace OS.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
Engadget has the scoop on the unnamed Samsung Android Gingerbread device, with the details come direct from an internal slide. While the screen is set to come in at either 4.3 or 4.5-inches, using so-called "sAMOLED 2" tech, there's also set to be some stunning next-gen features, including Full 1080p HD video, an 8 megapixel snapper and lightning fast 14.4Mbps HSPA.
What's more, there's mention of full e-reader software, alongside n standard Wi-Fi, a super-speedy 1.2GHz processor and an ample 16GB of on-board storage.
So, when will this new Samsung number be getting official? The slide says February 2011, tying it in nicely with the annual mobile shindig that is MWC, while its description as "1st half flagship" suggests it'll be on sale before June next year.
With Samsung also expected to out the so-called "Nexus S" in the coming days, it seems Android really is now top priority for the Korean tech cobbler.
Let us know what you think of this slick new cell over on our Facebook and Twitter pages now.

Kees DeGroot (Elementary Education) published an article, "Robert Will Not Use Manipulatives...Or Will He?" in the New York State Mathematics Teachers Journal. In it, he analyzes an experience with a third grader reluctant to use manipulatives for a multiplication activity, and asserts that students require a challenge which is just slightly out of reach to find manipulatives useful. DeGroot also edited and authored a 142-page publication titled Exemplars: Math 9-12, Module 3, in which he presents five mathematical standards-based performance tasks which he designed and which were piloted in high schools in Tacoma, Washington and the Pittsburgh area, and at the University of Regina, Canada. DeGroot thanks Salvatore Anastasio(Mathematics & Computer Science) for assistance with one of the tasks. The work was published last summer by Exemplars, Underhill, Vermont and is available both in hard copy and electronic format. Additionally, DeGroot's program, "K-8 Math Mentors," recently approved by the New York State Education Department for funding through 2004, involves not only 80 mentors from across the state but pre-service teachers from SUNY New Paltz who have a demonstrated commitment to working in school districts that are labeled "high need." Several of DeGroot's colleagues from the School of Education are involved in advisory roles: Andy Beigel (Inclusion Program), Laurel Duhaney and Spencer Salend (Special Education), and Elaine Kolitch (Mathematics & Computer Science).
John Alphonso Karkala (Professor Emeritus/ English and World Literature) presented a paper, "The Nature of Heroic Action in Traditional Epics and in the Textualized Oral Epic, Kalevala," at an international conference titled "World's Traditional Epics and Textualized Oral Epics." The conference was part of a major program of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization which is dedicated to preserving the world's indigenous oral literature. Karkala's paper discussed the concepts of "artistea" or excellence in fighting in Homer's Iliad, "nish-kama-kariya" or dispassionate action and the renunciation of fruits of action in Vyasa's Mahabharta, and the shamanic transcendence in Lönnröt's Kalevala. Karkala professed that heroic action is conditioned by the "culture space" enclosed by an epic's culture cosmos and world view. Additionally, Karkala has been commissioned by the director of the Kalevala Institute to review a recently-transcribed oral epic, Nayak's Siri Sandhi, from Tolunadu on the South West Coast of India. It is 15,683 lines, five less than the Iliad.
Poets in the news
"Three Generations of SUNY New Paltz Poets" became four when H.R. Stoneback added his name to poets reading their work at the December 3 event held in The Honors Center, College Hall. Stoneback opened the event with a poem titled "Cafe Millennium," then introduced his former English student, Dennis Doherty (BA/'87 and MA/'90), who read several poems related to teaching at the university, and in the former GED program housed in van den Berg Learning Center. Doherty was followed by teaching assistant Jacqueline Ahl (BA/'98 and MA Candidate/'01), who organized the program with Tonda Highley (Student Advising) to provide a networking opportunity for faculty and students. And representing the fourth generation were Ahl's students Desiree Alden and Kofi Asare, both prospective members of the class of '02.

Despite a deteriorating economic situation in Venezuela, with inflation at around 50%, for example, the government decided to stay the course, posing further risks to an already-poor business environment. This will further shrink the private sector, exacerbate shortages and worsen market distortions. As a fairly small market in the region, it has plenty of opportunities for growth, with low PC penetration and government programmes to boost sales. However, because of ICT connectivity weaknesses and an environment that is adverse to innovation, there will little scope for international vendors to compete.

History of the A's
Athletics Get Stronger in 1946
war was over, a massive return of Canadians to civilian life, the
beginning of the baby boom, and a great year for the St. Catharines
Athletics. Teams all across the Ontario Lacrosse Association were seeing
their rosters getting stronger as the available talent pool suddenly grew
larger. In St. Catharines, players hanging up their military uniforms and
donning the double blue uniforms of the local lacrosse team on a more
full-time basis included Doug Favell, "Ham" Nelson,
"Sparks"Urquhart, "Curly" Cheevers, Pat Smith, and the McMahons,
"Wandy" and kid brother Jimmy. But a couple of the local veterans such
as the popular "Tank" Teather and Port Dalhousie's own Bill Mackie
somehow got sidetracked and ended up in the uniforms of Russell Kelley's
Hamilton Tigers that year. An unfortunate sign of things to come for the
local boxla fans.
for the moment, it really couldn't look too much better. The 1946 team
still had some of the fan favourites from the early Mann Cup teams such as
Morton, "Wandy", Cheevers and Urquhart, now lining up with some great
youngsters that were just hitting their stride like "Ham" Nelson (back
from the RCAF), Stu Scott and Jim McMahon. The overall win-loss record of
the '46 crew would be second only to the 1938 Hall Of Fame team in St.
Catharines senior boxla history, and was destined to have a late season
rendezvous with the New Westminster Salmonbellies for Mann Cup number
you stop to throw in a Minto championship for the Jr. Athletics in 1947,
it would seem the Haig Bowler's dynasty would just keep rolling along
well into the rock-and-roll 50's. Well, that's how it looked on paper
now it's the '46 Athletics, one of the highest scoring teams in O.L.A.
history, against another storied franchise, the Brampton Excelsiors with
future Hall-Of-Famer Billy Brunskill lighting it up as he often did.
A's RALLY FROM EARLY LOSS TO DOWN BRAMPTON BY 19 – 12 SCORE AND BOOST SENIOR BOXLA LEAD
The St.
Catharines Standard
Monday June 24,
6 – 1 in the first period at Rose Bowl in Brampton on Saturday night, it
took a courageous comeback on the part of St. Catharines Athletics, the
Eastern Canada lacrosse champions to rise to a well-merited 19 – 12
victory over the red-white Excelsiors of Coach Bert Large. The win was
necessary, to offset the current challenge of Owen Sound Georgians, who
cling doggedly to the heels of the double-blue Cleverley clan. Saints did
not appear to get going in the early stages and by 4 ½ minutes, the
homesters had hopped into a 4 – 0 lead. First bid for a goal from A's
came at 3:45, when Jimmy McMahon sagged the hemp, but it was disallowed as
a crease step. When Pung Morton was tagged at 6:00 for slashing Ferrie,
A's hustled plenty to kill off the odd man, but the Rose Bowlers went up
to 5 – 0 and in less than 3 minutes more they had made it the even six
and kept Saints off the sheet. Finally Billy Nelson broke the ice on Pat
Smith's set-up in ten seconds at 6 – 1. Closing the chapter, Urquhart
was gated for slashing and Graham for charging 15 seconds part and both
sat out the start of the second. It was the first time this season that
A's had trailed by as big a lead.
At The Half
little verbal urging in the rest period brought Saints out fighting mad.
Billy Nelson and Stu Scott stepped into the breach with some nifty stick,
foot and head work and rapped two quickies in before the minute-mark, with
Scott getting a second on a backhander at 1:25, then setting up Jim
McMahon and A's were only down one at 6 – 5. They could not make
Anthony's penalty pay off at 4:25, but at full power, Nelson aided Smith
to tie the tally at 6-all. In seconds Morton set MacDonald up and A's
assumed the van for the first time. MacDonald was benched at 10:50 and
Billy Brunskill tallied right form the face off. A's tried to rag the
ball, but play was called on Jack McMahon and a face-off forced. With a
minute to go, Taylor slashed Morton and was off duty to open the third,
the period ending at 7 – 7.
Way to Stall.
boys just got nicely away in the third when the time clock stopped and it
took 10 minutes to get another in action, so they started at scratch
again. Nelson, still hot as a tamale, soloed in for the opener, Wandy
McMahon made it 9 – 7 in another 1:25 and Cheevers from MacDonald 15
seconds later. Then Brunskill got two in a row, to make it four for him on
the night, paring the lead back to 10 – 9 and Brampton fans rioted.
set up MacDonald for a two-goal lead and Graham from Binsell again cut it
back to one. Excelsiors ran out of balls, when their goalie in clearing
hoisted it over his back and out into the dark reaches of Idylwood Park,
in what was intended as trying to cool Saints off by stalling the game and
giving the fading Reds a breather. The final three minutes were scoreless,
but A's were playing better ball and retaining possession.
for Eight.
of the fast-snapping passes, dashes and shots of the last home game
cropped up in the final, with the McMahon brothers doing a yeoman chore
and aided splendidly by the rest of the Garden City blue-shirts. Jim
McMahon put Saints two up and 42 seconds later Nelson set up Smith for 13
– 10. Brampton rallied then and Taylor whittled it back one, only to
have Wandy McMahon twice give Norm MacDonald the needed passes for
tallies, then Jim McMahon added one from Smith-Nelson to put A's four to
the good.
night's spice came when Nelson and Binsell tangled for ten apiece and in
38 seconds Tommy Madsen drew a minor and had it upped to a major for
talking back. Despite the shortage, Saints showed their class when Jimmy
McMahon scored for a seven-goal lead at 18 – 11. Brunskill made it five
for him at 13:40 and Urquhart from Wandy McMahon tapered off the night
with the final 19 – 12. MacDonald was high sniper for A's with 4 and
1, Nelson had 3 and 4, Wandy McMahon 1 and 3 and Smith and Scott 2 and 2

Mean while on a plane there was a man and woman on the plane who were not agreeable. Well the man wanted to relax and try to enjoy the flight but the woman had a dog which was making too much noise and disturbing him. So he pulled out a cigar and began to smoke. The smoke irritated the dog and making things worse.
The woman told the man your're smoke is bothering my dog. The man said you're dog is bothering me. This went on into an arguement that ended up with the woman throwing the man's cigar out the window. The man grabbed the woman's dog and threw it out the window.
Fortunately the plane had been just about to land and as they looked out on the runway there was the dog. Guess what was in it's mouth?
A potato.

Advice on Battery Backup
Hello. I'm trying to figure out how to select a battery backup option for my computer. Lately, we've been having loads of power trips where my computer ends up restarting or shutting off.
I do have a Kill-A-Watt meter, and found that my computer uses about 200W at idle, and 550W with graphics cards under load.
So how do I go about selecting a proper battery backup? What I mean, is there a way to calculate with real numbers how long a certain VA and W rated battery backup will last? Say I purchase a 1500VA 900W battery backup, how do I calculate how long my system will run for say at idle?
I'm sure I have loads to read on understanding how Watts and VA relate to actual computer uptime, but if anybody can help guide me in the right direction, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks!
ps - I have read some wikipedia articles, but my physics is very rusty and I find myself going deeper and deeper, rather than making any practical sense of the information. After searching Google relatively extensively, I decided to come here to ask for guidance.
All the stated Values concern Power. What affects how long a battery backup can support your system is the Capacity (Unit: Wh). To run your system one hour on idle you would need 200Wh plus a bit for compensating losses. Formula for needed capacity: (Systems Running Power) * (Time system shall run on battery).
Problem is:
1. Batteries have changing capacities based on their temperature.
2. The capacity for such systems is rarely given.
3. The formula only works if the producer build a system that only runs at the power you need and not on a rather fixed value(which would be really bad).
VA can be kinda ignored, the W of the battery is what should be bigger than your pc under load. VA is the unit for complex power btw.
If you could put in a link, i can probably help you more.
Here's a link to the manufacturer APC and a calculator for what you would need:
A battery backup has one and only one function, which is to allow you to safely down the system, saving or closing any open files in the event of a power cut or a fuse blows.
It is not there to allow you to continue gaming in the hope that the electricity will come back on before your battery runs out.
I have an "APC Back UPS ES8 Power Saving Outlet 700VA (BE700G-UK) UPS". In the event of a power cut the monitoring software will close down my system but the communication hardware is powered by the battery. So even though my electricity may be off I can still use my battery powered netbook to connect to the Internet for quite a long time.
I also have a Wolf 3200W petrol powered backup generator if I really needed to keep my system running for hours or even days. Using a battery backup solution for this purpose is just not cost effective for a normal person.

Cool DHTML Tooltip
Description: This is a practical, elegant DHTML tooltip script. Use it to display additional information about a link or any other element when the mouse moves over it. A customizable tooltip pops up, which works in all modern DHTML browsers- IE4+, NS6+, and Opera 7+. Three interesting features of this script are:
Demo (move your mouse over):
Learn how to calculate the difference between two dates in JavaScript, and in the process, derive some useful applications such as counting down to a particular event, counting up, displaying what's new on your page etc.
Step 1: Insert the following stylesheet into the  section of your page:
Step 2: Insert the below code into the  section of your page, outside any other tags, especially relatively or absolutely positioned elements:
Step 3: Finally, add the following inside any link or page element that will contain a tooltip:
onMouseover="ddrivetip('JavaScriptKit.com JavaScript tutorials','yellow', 300)"; onMouseout="hideddrivetip()"
The key here is function ddrivetip(), which you should understand how it works:
ddrivetip('TEXT TO DISPLAY', 'OPTIONAL BACKGROUND COLOR', OPTIONAL TIP WIDTH)
The last two parameters are optional, and not specifying them causes the script to default to the settings within your CSS file. With that in mind, here are a few actual usage examples:
Search Engine

Some text here. Some text here.

Yahoo
One last important point: If your tooltip description contains apostrophes ('), be sure to backslash them first, as illustrated in the last example ("Yahoo\'s Site"), or an error will occur.

The custom essays completing process is annoying, however high school students must do that. Therefore I can offer to buy the papers from custom term papers service, simply because this would save time and money.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a co-worker who has been doing a little
research on this. And he in fact ordered me dinner due
to the fact that I found it for him… lol. So allow me to reword this.

As a member of the London Muslim community, I can assure you that Mr Tamimi has little to do with this campaign, which has cross community support from Somali, Pakistani, Bangledeshi, Arab, Turkish, Kurdish and white indiginoues revert brother and sisters. This type of smearing will not perturb us from mobilising for the even-handed, just and approachable favourite.
Don't worry, I am sure the profressionaly orchestrated campaign organised by hundreds of activists with thousands of multi-translated emails, postal mail-outs, tele-texts on the day, blogs, Mosque leafleting, announcements, voter ferrying and door knocking and Mayoral visits will make all the difference and prove that the Muslim community is a equal, powerful and integrated section of this beautiful, great city we call home.

Seized cars from African dictator's son sold at auction
By Dan X. McGraw | July 17, 2013
A picture taken on June 25, 2013 shows Teodorin Nguema Obiang (R), the son of Equatorial Guinea's president Teodoro Obiang and the country's vice-president in charge of security and defence, arriving at Malabo's Cathdral to celebrate his 41st birthday. AFP PHOTO / JEROME LEROY
A French company sold a fleet of luxury cars that were seized from an African dictator's son who is being investigated for theft of public funds.
Drouot, the French auction house, sold this past week some of the 26 luxury vehicles seized from Teodorin Obiang for more than $4 million, according to International Business Times.
The vehicles sold at auction include two Bugattis, two Bentleys, a Rolls-Royce, a Ferrari, a Porsche, a Maserati and a Maybach. Even more surprising, most of the vehicles had little to no mileage on them, according to the article.
French authorities recently seized Obiang's mansion and other property after an investigation revealed he paid for the property using state funds. The government of Equatorial Guinea is currently fighting the charges against Obiang.

There was a ton of excitement for the Mississippi State baseball team on Sunday, but Monday held a different kind of excitement.
The No. 18 (Collegiate Baseball) Bulldogs (43-17) found out Sunday that they were going to be hosting the 12th regional in the history of the school and the first since 2003.
The field of 64 was announced Monday for the NCAA Tournament and MSU found out the three other participants for the 2013 Starkville Regional.
The Bulldogs will welcome No. 2 seed South Alabama (42-18), No. 3 seed Mercer (43-16) and No. 4 seed Central Arkansas (39-20) this weekend for MSU's 33rd appearances in the NCAA Tournament.
"It's a great field," MSU head coach John Cohen said who has led MSU to three consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament. "We're very familiar with these guys."
