Toni Braxton Ready to Unbreak Hearts in New Reality Show, 'Braxton Family Values'
In a brand new teaser, the tight-knit Braxton sisters -- Toni, Traci, Towanda, Trina and Tamar -- battle for the spotlight as they're faced with relationship drama, bankruptcy and much more.
And with varying levels of success, envy stands as the biggest focal point of the show.
"Our goal is to put on families that are big personalities, who are interesting, entertaining, full of drama and conflict and you can't wait to tune in next week," Kim Martin, the WE network's president and general manager, said in a press release.
The show premieres on the WE network on April 12, but you can check out a teaser of what to expect of the family chaos. Watch ►►

Waves' siren song lures riders to Calif. surf spot
1 of 1
FILE - In this Feb. 13, 2010 file photo, Ion Banner loses control on a giant wave during the first heat of the Mavericks surfing contest in Half Moon Bay, Calif. The cold water and stories high surf at the big, treacherous surf break called Mavericks in Northern California have made it a Mt. Everest-like conquest for some surfers. And like Everest, Mavericks has claimed its share of lives: whether it be legendary big wave watermen or less experienced surfers seeking to make a name for themselves. And more keep coming.

Brewster Travel Canada
Brewster Travel Canada offer a variety of day trips around Banff, Jasper and Yoho National Parks and other services. In July 2005, I joined the Mountain Lakes & Waterfalls tour which took me around Banff and Yoho National Parks.
You can find out more information including prices on the tours Explore Rockies (a division of Brewster Travel Canada) offer in Calgary and The Canadian Rockies.

Rocky Mountain Sky Shuttle
I used this company for my transfers to Banff from Calgary International Airport when I toured The Canadian Rockies in 2005. The transfers take approximately 2 hours to reach The Rockies from Calgary) but convenient as they drop you off at your accommodation. For your return transfer, you need to reconfirm your booking at least 24 hours prior (between 08:00-17:00). The company has a desk at the arrivals hall at the airport.
Touring around the Rockies without a car!
Having your own car is the best way to get around the Canadian Rockies. However it's possible to travel between the popular tourist centres and areas by public transportation and there are a number of companies that offers tours around the Canadian Rockies.
In October 2000, I was on an escorted coach tour when touring the Rockies (I went with Jetsave and this was part of my Trans-Canada trip).
In July 2005, I joined a small group adventure budget tour of the Rockies and also to Waterton Lakes National Park in South West Alberta. I went with a company called True North Tours where they offered a number of tours. I'm not sure if they still exist or operating - I tried to access their website and it came up with something in Japanese! I've put down the numbers incase the company still exists. There are also other companies that offer budget tours in the area such as Moose Travel Network.

Kananaskis Country - Hwy 40
Highway 40 crosses the spectacular Kananaskis Country. Whether you're driving from north to south or opposite direction I can highly recommend to stop by at the Highwood Pass which is the highest road pass in Canada with an altitude of 2206 metres according the road sign (picture 1). Other sources mention 2225 and 2227 metres. During this beautiful and not too long drive many animals can be spotted beside (picture 2) or even in the middle of the road. If you don't wanna stop by by yourself they will probably force you into taking a few minute break:)

Wind River®, a world leader in embedded and mobile software, announced that Fujitsu, a leading Japanese information and communication technology company, relies on VxWorks® real-time operating system, Wind River Linux and Wind River Hypervisor for the development of their next generation of ETERNUS RAID disk storage systems.
As the amount of data and traffic continues to explode across the enterprise, network storage capacity and connectivity needs have grown. The trend of multicore processing has also increased software complexity, often equating to rising costs. Using virtualization, Wind River Hypervisor enabled Fujitsu to partition their Intel® multicore processor and take advantage of both VxWorks with its 64-bit computing support and Wind River Linux to create a flexible high performance storage product delivered on time and on budget. The combination of Wind River solutions, along with global customer support, helped Fujitsu reduce costs and provided a scalable architecture for future expansion.
The Fujitsu line of disk storage systems accommodates for all levels of businesses, from small to medium sized businesses to large data centers and virtualized environments that can serve capacity-intensive environments with tremendous storage density. The new line of RAID disk storage system products will be available in 2014.
"We needed a flexible and reliable development environment to manage increasing software complexity resulting from multicore deployment as well as secure performance. Wind River's comprehensive portfolio and deep expertise helped us unlock multicore capabilities, and Fujitsu was able to significantly shrink the time and cost for development," said Mr. Shigeo Konno, general manager of the Storage Systems Division at Fujitsu Limited.
"Having a global leader like Fujitsu relying on a variety of our technologies speaks to Wind River's trusted software and expertise," said Warren Kurisu, vice president of product marketing at Wind River. "By providing a comprehensive set of solutions, including the industry leading RTOS, embedded Linux and virtualization technologies and support, Wind River allows Fujitsu to streamline the development process and deliver powerful devices capable of handling the storage needs of today and future networks."

China Telecom, the largest fixed line broadband provider in China, has selected Alcatel-Lucent to upgrade its network with 100Gbps capability.
The improved network will enable China Telecom to carry out its plan to deliver speeds of up to 100Gbps to subscribers, a first for a service provider in China.
Alcatel-Lucent said the network would be built out using its 7750 Service Routers and 5620 Service Aware Manager, which are key components of the joint venture's High Leverage Network architecture. The new network infrastructure will enable China Telecom to improve network performance and support tiered data provision based on the type of traffic moving over the network.
Explaining the move, Wei Leping, chairman of China Telecom science & technology committee said in a statement that, "with the continuously booming broadband demand in the future, it's very crucial to maintain the network quality for smoothly delivering the applications. The Alcatel-Lucent solutions not only ensure our service quality but also give us the flexibility to upgrade to 100G smoothly in the future."
In other news, Alcatel-Lucent has been forced to set aside $15m for the 2010 financial year for "additional provisions", to account for retrofits to faulty networks, most of which will be related to the outages experience in late 2009 and early 2010 by New Zealand operator Telecom XT.

The Week In Radio: Royal appointment ruined by cringing contributions
Fiona Sturges
Fiona Sturges is an arts columnist, interviewer, reviewer and associate Lecturer at Southampton Solent University
Thursday 31 May 2012
How do you do the Jubilee on the radio? Is it actually possible to discuss the impending royal knees-up without archive films of trestle tables bisecting drab Seventies streets, and of the young monarch gamely watching "exotic" performances under a canopy in an unnamed African country, the Duke silently rolling his eyes in the background.
Clearly, some full-on, blue-sky thinking is in order to give the event due prominence without the help of hagiographical visual aids. Because amid the frenetic flag-waving, the miles of bunting, the red, white and blue-frosted cupcakes taking over our television screens and our streets, it is surely up to radio to dig a little deeper, to offer a modern perspective and reflect the nation's feelings about the monarchy.
So what did Radio 2 come up with to provide said perspective and satisfy both pomp and circumstance-loving royalists and staunch, off-with-their-heads republicans? The answer is the Celia Imrie-narrated We Are Sixty, as adoring, unbalanced and fervently royalist a tribute to our sovereign as a glossy, overpriced tourist brochure for Buckingham Palace itself. Less than a minute into the programme and Her Majesty had been called gracious, tireless, loyal, charming, remarkable and dignified, to the inevitable booming soundtrack of Handel's Zadok the Priest.
Nigel Havers, June Whitfield, Simon Callow, Tim Rice, Terry Wogan and Willie Carson were among those scouring their dictionaries for new superlatives and vying with one another to win the award for Blandest Observation Relating to the Queen. She shakes hands! She launches ships! She rides horses! She wears hats! Tributes were paid to her forbearance, her sense of duty, her fashion sense, even her skin tone. That's right. Because a monarch couldn't possibly command respect were a pimple to erupt, Vesuvius-like, on her chin.
There were no dissenting voices here. Just the same old stories – Lizzie going up a tree a princess and coming down a Queen, the intruder in her bedroom, the annus horribilis – regurgitated in the manner of a fawning Hello! magazine splash. Nor, beyond the fact that royal hems are sometimes weighted to prevent any accidental flashing of thigh, was there anything new shared about one of the most famous women in the world.
BBC World Service's Your World circumvented this problem by focusing on a very specific moment in the Queen's career, notably her visit to Ghana in 1961 just four years after the country had achieved independence. Presenter Dzifa Gbeho met Chris Hesse, the then Ghanaian President's official photographer who remarked on the public mood. "We met as equals but we respected her as head of the Commonwealth," he said, apparently holding the view of the majority who bore no ill will towards the monarch. Again, there were no great surprises aside from some monumentally patronising archive commentary from a BBC announcer, who remarked upon "how warm-hearted, vital and bounding with life are the loveable people of Ghana."
For a more sceptical take on the monarchy, Radio 4's A Point of View saw the writer Will Self express his disgust at the tradition of the Loyal Toast, which is when a roomful of people in black tie stand up at dinner and raise a glass to the Queen. It is, said Self, "the kind of spooky moment when, from beneath the seemingly level and egalitarian plane of society, there slowly arises the steep-sided and hegemonic pyramid. I have never risen for the Loyal Toast, and unless some sort of apoplectic patriot holds a gun to my head I doubt I ever will." He'd better give Radio 2 a wide berth in that case.

Bangladesh vs. Da Internz
Bangaldesh's Swizz diss isn't the first time he's ruffled feathers by calling out his beatmaking brethren. Bang accused production duo Da Internz of copycatting his style in an interview last month, mentioning two songs they produced but not their name. "I wouldn't even say they name. I don't think people know they name. I don't wanna like, put 'em on blast. ...[Rihanna's] 'Birthday Cake' is definitely my style...Big Sean's ['Dance (A$$)'], same producers. I think we're getting somewhere with this," said Bangladesh. "They stealing my swag. I'm dripping it everywhere. They pick it up after I do it."

My wife Cat and I live with the smallest carbon footprint possible for a modern
couple residing in a city with poor mass transit and cycling options. One area
in which we excel (as recently confirmed by an air conditioning salesman) is in
conserving electricity. While our methods won't work everywhere, they have
proved quite effective for us. In fact, when annualized, our monthly electric
bill never exceeds $90.
It wasn't always that way, of course. In fact, we used to hover just above $100
per month. Then, we upgraded our home to a solar water heater. What a great
decision! It is wonderful. We have had it for more than a year and our water
always is hot and our electric bill consistently is $20 below what we used to
pay. So, as we enjoy our monthly pastime of calculating electricity generating
efficiency of our water heater, or the equivalent thereof, the number
consistently tops 20%.
If you own your home or live in a complex which allows for upgrading to a solar
water heater, I exhort you to give the possibility due consideration. As to the
logistics of having a solar water heater on cloudy days, the unit has an
electrical back-up. In our case, we have it set to the lowest possible
temperature. Recently, during Tropical Storm Fay, we had no sun for more
than 3 straight days. And our water? Mighty comfy the whole time!
Solar water heaters harness the sun very effectively and keep the hot water hot.
To learn more about the installation process, check out my very first online video here at Keyboard Culture for a recap of how it went at the
Kroehler household.

Fortress Investment Group's private equity business was quiet in the third quarter, but the firm rode strong growth in its hedge funds to a 37% jump in profit.
New York-based Fortress said that pre-tax distributable earnings totaled $78 million during the quarter, up from $57 million in the same period last year. Almost all of that can be attributed to the performance fees earned by its hedge and credit funds, which were $75 million.
Fortress' $1.8 billion jump in assets under management was also attributed almost entirely to its hedge fund business: The firm raised $1.2 billion last quarter, but all of the $551 million that found its way into Fortress' assets under management went to credit and hedge funds.
Private equity funds, by contrast, grew by less than 1% to $11.6 billion. All told, the firm manages $44 billion.
"Our hedge funds produced significant incentive income," CEO Daniel Mudd said. "Our credit business remains in a sweet spot."
Including charges and compensation excluded from its pre-tax figures, Fortress' quarterly loss actually increased to $95 million from $59 million last year.

Hundreds of retro licence plates already bought in Sask.
It didn't take long for drivers in Saskatchewan to buy hundreds of a new licence plate.
On Tuesday, the province announced the launch of two new licence plates. Both are modeled after the 1965 Saskatchewan licence plate. One celebrates the Roughriders with a vintage team logo on the left side and 'Rider Nation' on the bottom. The other is a collector plate.
Saskatoon Bishop opts for modest lifestyle
Saskatoon Bishop Don Bolen doesn't believe one person needs a house with four bathrooms in it.
It's the reason why he has decided to move out of the Roman Catholic Bishop's residence on Spadina Crescent and into a modest two bedroom apartment in Pleasant Hill, on 20th street near Avenue O. His old home has been put up for sale.
"I was looking for something a little simpler, and smaller," Bolen said.
Bolen says it was a decision to "try to be a little more faithful to gospel" in his lifestyle, adding other leaders are making similar decisions.
38 Regina Beach homes still without services
Some people in Regina Beach are left in limbo, waiting for water and natural gas services to be restored following Wednesday afternoon's explosion.
Pink insulation still hangs from a number of trees around the area where a blue summer home once stood. Homes in the area are scarred from the blast with windows shattered, doors blown in, and some structures knocked completely off their foundation.
The flashing lights of SaskEnergy trucks illuminated the town on Friday morning as crews continued their repair work - a process that could take some time.
Fate of Saskatoon bus barns remains up in air
As plans to relocate the bus barns out of Caswell Hill march forward, a Saskatoon group wants the old buildings to become a space for artists.
The fate of the 13.5 acres of land in the heart of the city is still being discussed, but ArtSpace Saskatoon would like to see the buildings turned into workshops and offices for artists and artistic organizations.
ArtSpace Saskatoon founder Craig Campbell said the areas size and location make it ideal for local artists.
More allegations of poor conditions in Saskatoon care home
Once again, shocking allegations of poor conditions in a Saskatchewan seniors' care home were levelled in the Provincial Legislature.
During Question Period, Opposition Leader Cam Broten brought up the case of Margaret Froess, a 74-year-old woman living in the Samaritan Place care home.
"In location after location, we hear how short-staffing is hurting patient care," said Broten, explaining that Froess suffers from cerebral palsy, epilepsy and delusions.
Dogs rescued near Lestock, 1 shot in face
A dog named Wilson is recovering from being shot in the face after he and his family of pups were found by Good Samaritans near Lestock and taken to the Regina Humane Society.
Wilson was with the mother dog and their eight pups when they were found huddled in the basement of an abandoned farm house.
The mother and the pups were dirty, dehydrated and malnourished, but Wilson's condition was more severe. He had a broken jaw and bullet fragments embedded inside his mouth.
His injuries weren't obvious at first.
Davidson coffee pot landmark needs repairs
The huge coffee pot in Davidson needs more than a shot of caffeine.
The landmark requires major repairs after standing near the highway through all prairie weather for 18 years.
"It's like anything made of metal, it starts to show rust after a while. It needs to be cleaned up and painted again," Austin Eade said.
Eade is one of the people who designed and built the original structure with the company Harvest Services in Craik.
City targets summer repairs for University Bridge
If you think traffic congestion in Saskatoon is bad now, just wait until this summer when the University Bridge needs to be shut down for repairs.
The city's chief engineer Mike Gutek said initially planners were looking at shutting the bridge down entirely. They've since reconsidered doing that.
"We do realize the pressures from the downtown core, as well as access to the University bridge. So right now, the option we're looking at is having one lane from downtown, to the east side of the river," Gutek said.

No one can tell if Lean is working: Sask. auditor
The provincial government has spent many hours defending Lean, but the provincial auditor says the government itself doesn't know if the initiative is working.
Auditor Judy Ferguson says the Health Quality Council (HQC) is supposed to measure the success of Lean. She found that "the council's database did not include one half of the expected updates. As a result the database was not complete."
"Lean" is a management philosophy that looks to eliminate inefficiencies to save money and time.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
A common conception among radical Islam is that the West, in particular the United States, is waging a campaign of genocide and oppression against Muslims. If this sounds slanted and biased, sobering statistics support this view. At least four million Muslims have met violent ends in the past 30 years, much of it at the hands of "infidel" governments.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
10/21/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Middle East
Keywords: Muslim, Islam, genocide, West, foreign policy
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - This message - that the West aims to wipe out Islam has had recent reverberations in Boston, London and Nairobi. Ongoing conflicts in Egypt, Syria, Africa and elsewhere has also lent this message credence. This conception, growing among mainstream Muslims has since forced the White House to consider its impact when setting foreign policy.
According to Ed Husain, senior fellow for Middle Eastern Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations: Muslims have died violently across the world, chiefly instigated by non-Muslim nations. "The ugly truth is that it is real," Husain said. "You can't go past a single month in the past 30 years without reports of Muslims being killed in some part of the world or another, and that sticks."
Millions of Muslims have been killed in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Bosnia, Chechnya and elsewhere since 1980. While found to be imprecise, politically charged and often unverifiable, this data arrives from human rights organizations, academic studies, the United Nations and from groups representing the victims.
However, Islamic scholars caution that the notion that the West is orchestrating "a genocide" is a gross oversimplification.
"Beginning with the Iran-Iraq War and continuing to the present day, more and more casualties are inflicted by Muslims against Muslims," P.J. Crowley, a former spokesman for ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says. "The prevailing narrative in the region remains the faithful waging war against crusaders, but that is not the reality."
It must be noted that half of the deaths in the NBC analysis are attributable to internecine conflict, a trend that has increased in recent years.
Steve Simon, who was until earlier this year head of the Middle East Desk at the National Security Council, said it became part of the debate over drone strikes and the timetable for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. "Over time, my impression was that administration became increasingly aware of the reputational costs of the drone attacks, weighing them against their considerable tactical gains," Simon says. "There was a concern that over the course of the decade too many people were getting killed."
The growing death toll played into decisions to speed the pullout from Iraq, Simon adds. "The sanctions, which the U.S. led, took a heavy toll, then (came) the war," he said. "We also were aware that our involvement had unleashed internecine warfare that . killed many more."
Sadly, this notion is helping embattled terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda expand their reach by feeding resentment and anger against the "infidels" - be they Christian, Jew, Hindu or Communist - to inspire new attacks.

Inter, Napoli close on faltering Milan
Inter Milan and Napoli closed in on AC Milan at the top of Serie A on a day when Francesco Totti scored his 200th goal in the top flight.
Following Milan's 1-0 loss at Palermo on Saturday, Giampaolo Pazzini's 52nd-minute strike was enough for a sluggish Inter to claim the three points against Lecce at the San Siro.
Later, Edinson Cavani's double in a 2-1 win over Cagliari re-awakened Napoli's title challenge.
With eight matches left, the results mean Inter, at present trailing by two points, will go top should it defeat Milan in their next match - the derby coming up on April 3 following the break for international matches.
"The derby won't decide the title - there are 21 other points in play," Inter coach Leonardo, who replaced Rafael Benitez when the gap to season-long leaders Milan was 13 points, told Italian broadcaster Rai.
"It doesn't matter who is in better form going into the match because the derby is such a one-off. It's a difficult game to predict and especially strange to prepare for with the international matches."
Napoli, which appeared to have thrown away a shot at the title after losing to Milan 3-0 three weeks ago, closed to within three points of the leaders with victory in Sunday's late match.
Fourth-placed Udinese is now just six points off the pace after a long-range effort from Swiss midfielder Gokhan Inler and a penalty from Antonio Di Natale, his 25th goal of the campaign, saw it defeat Catania 2-0 for a fourth straight win.
In the early match, Roma and Fiorentina played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Artemio Franchi stadium where Totti's second double in a week pegged back the improving visitors who had twice gone ahead in the first half through Adrian Mutu and Alessandro Gamberini.
The draw maintains coach Vincenzo Montella's unbeaten start in the league as Roma stay sixth, six points off the Champions League spots. Totti, now on 201 goals in Serie A, is within four of Roberto Baggio who lies fifth in the all-time list.
