One of the USA's newest airports has a 5,500-foot lighted runway, a Colonial-style terminal with white columns, and hundreds of acres for growth. But Kentucky's Williamsburg-Whitley County Airport lacks one feature: airline passengers.
Built using $11 million in federal money, the airport is used only by private airplanes. Many are piston-engine aircraft owned by residents such as Keith Brashear, the airport board chairman who keeps his two-seat Cessna in the airport hangar. On a typical day, the airport has just two or three flights, manager Jessica Roberts says. Some days, there are none.
The Williamsburg airport is the result of an obscure federal program that raises billions of dollars a year through taxes on every airplane ticket sold in the United States. The taxes can add up to 15% to the cost of a flight — or about $29 to a $200 round-trip ticket.
Federal lawmakers have used some of the money to build and maintain the world's most expansive and expensive network of airports — 2,834 of them nationwide — with no scheduled passenger flights. Known as general-aviation airports, they operate separately from the 139 well-known commercial airports that handle almost all passenger flights.
In the first full accounting of the 28-year-old Airport Improvement Program, USA TODAY found that Congress has directed $15 billion to general-aviation airports, which typically are tucked on country roads and industrial byways.
Members of Congress say the general-aviation airports can attract development and provide services such as air-medical transport.
The lawmakers also regularly use general-aviation airports to get around their districts and states, sometimes in planes with lobbyists. Members of Congress took 2,154 trips on corporate-owned jets from 2001 to 2006, according to a 2006 study by PoliticalMoneyLine, an independent research group.
Critics say the number of subsidized airports with no commercial flights is excessive at a time when larger airports are struggling to deal with delays in air traffic, and that much of the money the general-aviation airports get benefits only a few private pilots.
"Congressmen are spending millions building runways at these little airports. That is just a complete waste of money," says Jonathan Ornstein, CEO of Mesa Air Group, a regional air carrier. "There is a huge requirement to overhaul infrastructure at major airports."
General-aviation airports handle mostly recreational planes and corporate jets — usually just a few each hour. Half of the airports are within 20 miles of another private-aviation airport, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
The Airport Improvement Program gives money to about 2,000 airports each year for projects such as runway repairs and noise mitigation. The money goes to all types of airports — general-aviation and commercial — that apply to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for grants.
Lawmakers have expanded annual funding by 10 times since 1982, as increasing air travel brought in more money in ticket taxes. They also have steered growing sums to general-aviation airports by rewriting federal law.

"Did you wash your hands?"
How many times did you hear that today? Probably a lot. But why are adults so hung up on hand washing? Why are they so in love with lather?
Washing your hands is the best way to stop germs from spreading. Think about all of the things that you touched today — from the telephone to the toilet. Maybe you blew your nose in a tissue and then went outside to dig around the dirt.
Whatever you did today, you came into contact with germs. It's easy for a germ on your hand to end up in your mouth. Think about how many foods you eat with your hands.
You can't wear rubber gloves all day long, but you can wash your hands so those germs don't get a chance to make you or someone else sick. When germs go down the drain, they can't make anyone sick.
So when are the best times to wash your hands?
Now you have the when and the why of hand washing. But did you know that a lot of people don't know how to get their paws perfectly clean? The next time you're told to step up to the sink and scrub up, remember these handy hints:

Remembering Timothy Leary
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Dr. Timothy Leary was a respected Harvard psychology professor in the early 60's when he began a series of experiments with mind-altering drugs like LSD. He was fired in 1963 for using students in his tests then went on to become a guru of the psychedelic 60's revolution. At sit-ins, love-ins, and marijuana smoke-ins, he crusaded to turn the world on to LSD.
TIMOTHY LEARY: It's no accident that enormous crowds come out to hear me lecture. Whenever I go to a college, it's always sold out. It's not because I'm that clever. It's because they gave me the good lines in the show–turn on, tune in, drop out.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: But not everyone was turned on by Leary's message of drug-induced ecstasy. Then President Richard Nixon called him "the most dangerous man alive."
TIMOTHY LEARY: (January 1996) When Nixon called me that, I was thrilled. The President of the United States, whom many Americans and the rest of the world thought was a crazed, psychotic danger, for him to be calling me that, I, that's my Nobel Prize, that's my bumper stick, that's my trophy on the wall.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Leary was arrested for drug possession dozens of times. He escaped from prison in 1970 and then spent several years on the run in Europe, Africa, and Asia, only to be eventually arrested again and extradited back to the United States. He got out on parole in the late 70's and found his fame had faded, but he found some success as an author, lecturer and computer whiz. When Leary was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 1995, he made his dying a public event and even started a home page on the Internet to chronicle it. True to form, he turned on right up to the end and told us all about it.
REPORTER: Do you still use drugs?
TIMOTHY LEARY: Yes. I prefer illegal drugs to legal drugs.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Leary said he looked forward to dying and called it "the most fascinating part of my life."
TIMOTHY LEARY: I don't care if I come back or not. It is my duty as a philosopher to go these strange frontiers and then shout backward, shout back what I've learned.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Tim Leary was 75. For some thoughts on his life, we're joined now by Robert Coles, a Harvard psychiatrist and author of many books, including The Moral Life of Children and Drugs and Youth, and by one of our regular essayists, Anne Taylor Fleming. Anne, starting with you, why did Tim Leary want everyone to tune in, turn on, and drop out?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: (Los Angeles) Well, he was kind of the perverse pied piper for my generation, Charlayne. I mean, I remember being in one of those auditoriums in I guess it was 1978 when he came and did his spiel, and I remember thinking even then, um, that, that his message was selfish, somewhat self-destructive, and a little bit thrilling. I mean, here was an adult coming to give you license and saying, hey, you know, get high, drop out. And I think we have to remember the times. I mean, Martin Luther King had just been assassinated. Bobby Kennedy was just about to be. The country was in turmoil. And in some ways, Leary's message was very popular. I mean, lots of people were sort of unbuckling, and, indeed, finding a way out of their own sort of moral pain, but I do remember sitting in that auditorium and, and being really angry, thinking this is an adult person, and it's a little bit like he's walking into a day care center with a bottle of vodka, because I didn't think that a whole lot of people were going to be able to handle the drug. And I think a lot of people weren't able to.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Bob Coles, what's your take on that, why he wanted everybody to tune in, turn on, and drop out?
ROBERT COLES, Psychiatrist/Author: (Boston) Well, I think he had an affair with craziness of sorts. Remember, this message proceeded the death of Dr. King and Bobby Kennedy. He started this in the early 60's and it's important to remember that when he was saying this, thousands of other people, including students from his Harvard, their Harvard, were leaving the university and other universities and colleges to go South, to be in the Civil Rights Movement, to work in the Peace Corps and Vista and whatever else that they did that had to do with practical deeds to change this country. And I think the contrast between this kind of 1960's behavior, beginning right in 1960, itself, when President Kennedy was inaugurated and, and Leary's behavior and the behavior of those who followed him is important to remember at this moment. LSD was, is, a very, very dangerous drug. This is not frivolous behavior. This is dangerous behavior. This is destructive behavior, and I think the most interesting question of all is: Why we have paid so much attention to him and people like him in the 60's and to this day.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Let me–
ROBERT COLES: What is it in our society that has the slightest regard for this kind of person?
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Let me ask you that, Anne. I mean, and how–you indicated how you personally felt about the message and somewhat ambivalent, but how–what's your answer to that question?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Well, I think one of the distinctions that Mr. Coles just made that I really value is to draw the distinction between what might be seen as the good 60's and the bad 60's. With, with Leary, certainly more in my agreement to the bad side–I mean, a lot of good things were going on, so we don't want to lambast the 60's while we're trying to sort out Leary's legacy. Umm, I think he was one of those geniuses of the media age. I mean, he was hip to all of that very soon. He came along with television again. He was perfect fodder for that. He worked hard at it right up until, as you just pointed out, until the day he died. And he was sort of one of those people like, like I suppose an Andy Warhol, you know, that we create, we inflate, we do all these things for. I must say too that bunches of the young people that I knew in the 60's were, were skeptical, sufficiently skeptical of Leary even then. And it wasn't like the whole generation was trooping off like mice behind a pied piper.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: But who was he having the impact on then?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Well, I think that the media did an enormous amount of blowing up, and also, you know, you just had that funny quote from Nixon. I mean, he became a real punching bag for the right wing, uh, or centrist right wing, whatever, and for parents who were scared that their kids were all running amuck and acting out and dropping out, and turning on, and doing all of those things. Umm–
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Some of them were, though, weren't they?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Some of them were, sure.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Was it Leary that, I mean, how did he factor into that?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Leary, Leary was on an early swing with drugs. I think that, umm, Robert Coles was right about that. I mean, he started–he did start in the early 60's, and by the time that a whole bunch of the, of the baby boomers were in college, and remember, facing the draft and facing what Vietnam meant. There was a tendency to want to seek refuge in drugs, and Leary, who can be quite charming, I must admit, he was quite a charismatic speaker, I mean, we can say satanic in a way, but he was very appealing in those crowds. I watched him work them and he was good at it.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Bob Coles, who do you think he was appealing to in those days and how much of an effect did he have?
ROBERT COLES: Well, I think frankly he was appealing to a very small segment but influential segment of privileged people on various campuses and off campuses. I think it's correct to connect him to Andy Warhol and connect him to a certain slim segment of self-indulgent people who have the wherewithal, the political and economic power to behave in this way. The ordinary working people of this country, black, white, whatever, the ordinary people of this country never got involved in this, and they were correctly disturbed by it. I think that frankly, Mr. Leary was Richard Nixon's best friend. The two of them tied together very beautifully for the purposes of the 1968 election and they–he helped Nixon enormously and Nixon knew it.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Did you see anything positive in what he was doing, I mean, the release that Anne Taylor Fleming mentioned earlier, the unbuckling, and also people have mentioned the challenge, the challenging of authority, um, anger at authority?
ROBERT COLES: Not this kind of crazy, inchoate challenging that has no–doesn't direct itself at the real concrete problems of the country, of race and class, of privilege and poverty, and the disparity in this country between those who have and those who don't. He addressed none of that.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Anne Taylor Fleming, how did the Leary–how has he worn with time? I mean, you know, we saw him practically dying on the Internet. He was trying to re-make himself apparently.
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: Yeah. I think sillier and sillier really. I mean, it was clear that he was somebody who was grasping for fame right up to the end, I mean, that that's what he had become the metaphor for. And, remember, he ran around for a while there with Gordon Liddy doing a sort of Frick and Frack act. Umm, it was all sort of pathetic, I thought, over the last 20 odd years. Umm, you know, more people were on to it. Certainly the country has become much more sophisticated about addiction and about drug abuse and about all of those things. I mean, it's a far different time than it was when he started his, you know, up with drugs rant. So I think–
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: But–sorry–
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: I think people were looking a lot more skeptically and hard at him, certainly in these last years.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: So briefly, what do you think is the Leary legacy?
ANNE TAYLOR FLEMING: You know, I don't think too much in the overall scheme of things. I think that, that much more–I probably sound a lot more like Robert Coles in this, but I think that he will seem like a perverse pied piper for in some ways–the wilful, spoiled flank of this generation, not the flank we need to remember that did do some good things. Umm, I suppose that some people will remember him fondly for having seen him flit through their lives and sort of, you know, say some silly, umm, unbuckling things at that point.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Sure. All right, Bob Coles, briefly, what do you think the legacy is?
ROBERT COLES: Sad, dreary, uninteresting, and I wish the late Christopher Lash were here to tell us, to remind us yet again the culture of narcissism in its most perverse form, and we do well to put this aside and get on with the real problems that face America today.
CHARLAYNE HUNTER-GAULT: Well, Bob Coles and Anne Taylor Fleming, thank you.

Ikko is a Buddhist monk in training who works at his grandmother's temple with six nuns -- six very attractive nuns. Though lazy, weak and unmotivated to learn the skills of a monk, amazingly strong holy powers sleep inside of Ikko that are triggered only by the awakening of his, shall we say, lust for worldly delights. A vengeful spirit is haunting your home? A flash of pantsu, and Ikko's your man. But therein lies danger; what really is the secret behind his mysterious powers? And how many hits to the head from angry, semi-naked nuns can a man take?

This review covers both seasons of the show; I'm too bored to write two different ones about something that is practically the same. It also contains some profanity so better not read it if you are not used to it. But then again, if you are a good kid what are you doing reading a review about a harem? Naughty, naughty!
Anime such as this are so formulaic, repetitive and predictable to the point... read more
After watching episode one te basic story is there are about 5 girls and 1 guy going througn monk training. the guy is pretty worthless unless he happens to see one of the girls naked he goes into a powerful state and saves the day. read more

The opponents of the proposed Long Beach Living Wage are just getting organized. They've run an ad on Craigslist offering "a very competitive hourly wage" of $15 an hour to fight a measure that would guarantee a modest $13 an hour and five sick days for about 2,000 workers –housekeepers, cooks, dishwashers and janitors — who labor in the largest Long Beach hotels. I find it ironic that the opponents of Measure N themselves are offering more than the Living Wage proposal would mandate, clearly aware that $13 an hour isn't a high enough wage to attract even part-time workers. Yet their campaign messages suggest the hotel Living Wage could do drastic damage to the city's economy.
"We're going to reach out to the residents of Long Beach at the grassroots level, neighbor to neighbor and relay our message- No on N," says the job posting. If theirs were truly a grassroots campaign they would have plenty of community volunteers lined up to talk to Long Beach voters.
Calling themselves the Coalition for Fair Wages in Long Beach, the No on N campaign "is searching for ambassadors to compellingly communicate a business friendly vision across the City of Long Beach."
While the opponents are getting their negative campaign organized, more than 130 small businesses have signed on as supporters of Measure N, understanding that with a living wage in their pockets, hotel workers would provide a boost to local businesses. It's an idea Henry Ford had long ago. He knew that if auto workers earned enough to buy the cars they made on the assembly line, the company would have a lot more customers and make a lot more money.
The debate in Long Beach is mirrored in the national presidential campaign that's heating up over whether it's ordinary working people or business interests that make our economy thrive—whether our nation should rebuild the economy from the bottom up or the top down.
Long Beach voters are positioned to have a voice on this critical issue by supporting hotel workers and voting Yes on Measure N.

"This approach may play a significant role in targeting a subset of heart failure patients for whom we need to be more aggressive if we don't see early improvement in heart rate variability," Gilliam said. "We would expect that as their heart function improves after implantation, their heart rate variability would improve as well."
Heart failure is a condition marked by the inability of the heart muscles to pump enough oxygen and nutrients in the blood to the body's tissues. Also known as congestive heart failure, its many causes include infections of the heart, coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, previous heart attacks and valve problems. An estimated 4.7 million Americans suffer from the condition, with 400,000 new cases reported each year. Roughly one-half of patients die within five years of diagnosis.
Although there is no cure, drugs can improve the strength of the heartbeat (digoxin), relax blood vessels (ACE inhibitors)or remove the excess buildup of fluid in the lungs (diuretics). Implantable devices are the latest options in preventing arrhythmias that can lead to sudden death, with CRT-Ds being the latest technology.
CRT-Ds perform two main functions. First, the devices electrically stimulate both sides of the heart in coordinated fashion, which optimizes the contractability of already weakened heart muscle. Second, the defibrillator "shocks" the heart back into normal rhythm whenever the heart beats irregularly.
In addition to maintaining the heart, the devices also collect heartbeat-by-heartbeat data that can be downloaded from the device and entered into a computer. One use of the data in this trial was to create a "footprint," or visual representation, of a patient's heart rate variability over time. Patients with a footprin

Hey Toyash,
I'll be back in Stoney Creek for a month come September. My family lives there. I'll be back out to B.C after that.
Hey anyone in Hamilton? Cheers!
ya edmontons alright. its no tropics but its prob somewhat easier to get a hold of fruit here than say fort mac.
Hoorah we do exist! I lived in Edmonton for work last summer, loved it!
hey i'm from edmonton too surreal!
Yep I understand that. I've found that Superstore does the most frequent shipments. I talked to my superstore produce manager and he was really good to deal with, agreed to order extra boxes of young coconuts and organic bananas for me. I kind of sound like a huckster, but they were the best people to deal with for me. I get a phone call whenever my produce comes in, couldn't be much better!
Yep, plus rice, potatoes, oatmeal, veggies, and some other fruits. Ripening is a bit of an issue up here because the shipments are less frequent than down south.
I'm from Lloydminster, and Edmonton is probably the closest you'll get to Fort Mac out on the prairies. Are you stuck eating bananas and dates up there, too?
Fort Mac, anyone?
wheres my raw peeps from the east coast. any homeies with me in Nova Scotia?

The latest news and technology solutions to improve your company's mobility infrastructure. From articles on mobility planning, initial set-up and expansion, to the newest technological advancements and business strategies, including BYOD, and more. We'll keep you Connected with our Mobile Technology News.
If you're on the path to implementing a BYOD strategy, you need to be aware of how it's going to change your environment. The impact on your organization can vary from very minor changes to your IT environment all the way to strategic changes, which could require core infrastructure upgrades. In addition, the complexity of BYOD strategies can run the gamut from minor changes and a straightforward implementation in smaller organizations that just need basic user access, to the highest levels of security—for example, in government agencies. Determining and understanding the impacts of a BYOD strategy on your infrastructure can be complex, and that's where forming the right partnership with an experienced IT provider comes in. Read on for more information about the value of working with a partner to put your BYOD policies in place.
Tags:AssessmentBYODMobile Device ManagementMobilityStrategy
Obviously, security is a very big concern for organizations as they begin to implement a bring your own device (BYOD) strategy. Many IT managers fear a loss of company or client data, unauthorized access to the network, and malware infections. They may also lack the resources needed to properly address these security concerns. We're here to share some tips and strategies to ensure your data remains secure as you implement a BYOD policy.
Isn't it crazy to think that over 70% of midsize companies are still using outdated phone systems because they think IP-based systems are beyond their budget and IT skill level?
As we all know… with IP telephony the handset is no longer a digital device hanging off a copper loop from a PBX. Instead, the handset lives on the network as another computer device. And the overall goal is to no longer strictly on the telephony (or voice) portion of daily communications. Rather, it is on an affordable communications solution that integrates multiple UC applications on a single platform, including voice, mobility, messaging, conferencing, presence, and contact center capabilities that extends to all devices a person may use, enabling mobility. The question becomes, "Can I get end-to-end collaboration capabilities, ready-to-run virtualization, an open and interoperable architecture, in a solution that is affordable, secure, and easy-to manage?" Read on for the answer.

rorism at Statens Serum Institut. The center constitutes the point of contact for both national and international BW alarms, requests and sample analysis. NCBD houses the national preparedness operation unit, performs and develops assays for sample analysis, and is engaged in several biodefense research projects as well as intelligence work. Furthermore, the center is developing a biosecurity program.
NCBD participates actively in the Australia Group (AG) and has lately been especially involved in discussions related to the misuse potential of synthetic biology i.e., the de novo synthesis of genes or even organisms from chemically synthesised oligonucleotides.
Tasks of the NCBD, Denmark:
Operations (preparedness) (including analysis of samples)
Development and testing of assays
Biodefence research (European Union projects and national projects)
Development of a Biosecurity programme for Denmark
International BW work (i.e., EU, AG, Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BWC), UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1540)
Biosecurity legislation in Denmark is expected to be passed by March 2008 and the centre therefore has many activities within the area of biosecurity research and development (R&D).
Our activities within this area have focused on developing objective risk models for assessing the BW potential of various pathogens.

I am currently writing a program that will eventually compare the files in two directories and display the functions that have changed in each file. However, I have run into a problem when checking to see if what is in the directory is a file or is a sub-directory. Right now when I check to see if it is simply a directory with the -d check, it doesn't catch any of the sub-directories. I have posted parts of my code below.
opendir newDir, $newDir;
my @allNewFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..'} readdir newDir;
closedir newDir;
opendir oldDir, $oldDir;
my @allOldFiles = grep { $_ ne '.' and $_ ne '..'} readdir oldDir;
closedir oldDir;
foreach (@allNewFiles) {
if(-d $_) {
print "$_ is not a file and therefore is not able to be compared\n\n";
} elsif((File::Compare::compare("$newDir/$_", "$oldDir/$_") == 1)) {
print "$_ in new directory $newDirName differs from old directory $oldDirName\n\n";
print OUTPUTFILE "File: $_ has been update. Please check marked functions for differences\n";
print OUTPUTFILE "\n\n";
print OUTPUTFILE "+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=\n\n";
} elsif((File::Compare::compare("$newDir/$_", "$oldDir/$_") < 0)) {
print "$_ found in new directory $newDirName but not in old directory $oldDirName\n";
print "Entire file not printed to output file but instead only file name\n";

Lindwall points out that the medical model in some hospital settings views patients and parents from a deficit perspective it seeks to right what is wrong. However, Lindwall and colleagues also see value in exploring the factors that create resilience in parents to understand what has gone right in these cases despite facing significant challenges.
"While the study showed the norm is resilience and recovery, there are certainly some parents of children with significant medical illness who don't do well parents who remain distressed. Our challenge now is to predict which parents are at the highest risk for difficulties and to design interventions that can help these parents cope during their child's medical challenges," Lindwall says.

Makes the perfect gift for the sports fan in your life!
Any NY Yankees fan would love adding this to their collection.
Nine Gold Gloves, the American League batting title in 1984, and the American League MVP award for 1985 are reason enough why Yankees first baseman Don Mattingly is called 'Donnie Baseball.' Beloved by fans and respected by opponents, the former captain of the Yankees, Don Mattingly, perhaps one of the greatest Yankees of all time has hand signed this 16x20 Photo of him making a tag. A Steiner Sports Certificate of Authenticity is included.

The operators of "World of Warcraft" in China have replaced skeletons with healthy human bodies in the local version of the online game. This is due to a recent government campaign to clean up Internet content. The PRC gov't says this supposedly promotes a 'healthy online culture" to protect the government's stability.
WTF? Hacking and slashing players and other monsters is OK, but rendering some skeletons on screen is bad? Sheesh!

PathWords Game
From the inventors of the traffic game RushHour, PathWords combines the best of Tetris and Word Search. Choose a pre-set "challenge," i.e. game board with letters already on it and then place the Tetris-like puzzle pieces over the letters so that each piece covers a complete word. Words can be spelled forward or backwards as long as the letters aren't scrambled. The challenging game play certainly helps build visual acuity, logic, and reasoning. Once our kid testers got the hang of this game, they found it quite addicting. Most wound up playing collectively, trying to get through as many challenges as possible. thinkfun.com.

This was OK. I probably won't make again. If you do make this, I would add less soy sauce. It was overpowering.
Very easy and delicious - restaurant quality salad. I added pecans for a little extra flavor. I will definitely make this again.
This recipe was tassttttyyyy! I added 2 avacodoes and that made a great contrast of flavor with the rest of ingredients. Will probably try adding cucumbers next time as well.

Answer 2
Agree with ebans, also pull vacuum hose off of the fuel pressure regulator to see if any fuel is in the hose. With the hose disconnected and pluged with a suitable plug, start the engine and let it run for about 5-10 min. to see IF any fuel comes out of vacuum port on the regulator. It may take a while to show up!! If fuel comes out of the regulator, replace it. If not sure what to do seek hands-on help. - pushrod

Quarterback Russell Wilson
"To be the second African-American (quarterback) to win the Super Bowl, that's history right there. There are so many guys before me who have tried to change the game and done a great job at it. God's so good. It doesn't matter what you look like. It doesn't matter if you're black, white, Latino, Asian. It doesn't matter if you're 5-foot-11. It doesn't matter how many people tell you no. It's the heart that you have. That's what I try to prove every day."

Really stunning photos of Mischa at the P3R Showroom in Century City have been uploaded. The photos are currently only in mq quality but I'll try replace them with higher quality versions as soon as I can.
Anyone else sick of the media scrutiny being placed on Mischa's weight? She adds a pound and she's "fat", then she loses a pound and she's "too skinny". STFU and go look at yourselves in the mirror. /end rant
The trailer for Mischa's upcoming independent drama "Don't Fade Away" has surfaced online thanks to New Films International. I'm extremely happy to see Mischa in a drama like this.
Life was easy for Jackson White. With looks, brains, and athletic ability,the world's possibilities seemed limitless. But, when he came to New York City to pursue a career in the music industry, he was so seduced by money and status that he lost track of who he was. Now, with both his personal and professional lives on the edge of ruin, he's been called home to care for his dying father. While in North Carolina, he'll have to confront the friends he lost track of and the girl he never met. Film stars Mischa Barton, Ryan Kwanten, Beau Bridges and Ja Rule.
Candids of Mischa from February 10th of her leaving after having sushi with friends in Hollywood have been uploaded. Rumours are that she'll be attending New York Fashion Week which begins on the 13th. Hopefully she does attend cause we always get a stack of pictures whenever she attends a fashion week.
Mischa was interviewed while at a Herbal Essences photocall a little while ago. Below is a media interview conducted by a Portuguese media outlet so unfortunately a lot of it is in a different language. Mischa's answers are in English so you'll be able to understand at least a portion of it. Thanks to Marie for the tip!
There also a leaked clip of Mischa's upcoming Bhopal: A Prayer for rain dealing with a gas tragedy in India. The clip features Martin Sheen.
I'm sure most of you have read the tabloid gossip speculating that Mischa is in the middle of a love triangle between Luke Pritchard and Tom Wright. She's now personally addressed this matter and set the record straight. Courtesy Mischa's Official Blog.
I'm sure you've all heard the rumors about the alleged "love triangle" between Luke Pritchard, Tom Wright and me, so I just wanted to take this opportunity to clear the air on this matter. There is not now, nor has there ever been a "feud" between the three of us; Tom is a close friend of mine and we hang out with a lot of the same people in London. If I'm dating anyone right now, it's Luke.
Luke is an amazing guy and we enjoy spending time together, but we've only been seeing each other for a few weeks and we're taking it slow.
I hope this clears things up for everyone.
Mischa is featured on the March 2009 cover of Dolly magazine in Australia and scans have been uploaded to the site. This marks Mischa's 6th time on the cover of Dolly! The current cover also features a stunning new photo of Mischa with the article inside highlighting what Mischa's been up to over the past year.
ETA: Turns out the the photo is actually from a Nylon magazine shoot. Thanks to Lillinka on her keen eyes!
Here is a first look at the poster for Mischa's upcoming independent drama "Don't Fade Away". As you can tell by the poster, the film also stars True Blood's Ryan Kwanten and veteran actor Beau Bridges.
This post is just a personal message from me and is thus not Mischa related but should be of particular relevance to all our Australian visitors.
Just wanting to give a heads up to the Aussies out there that the Red Cross and The Salvation Army in association with various governmental tiers have launched a charity appeal for the victims of the Victorian bushfire tragedy from earlier this week. Over 700 homes have been destroyed, 330,000 hectares of land has been burnt out, thousands of people are homeless and its feared the death toll could reach 200. Not to mention the fact that fires are still currently burning. Online donations from as little as $5 can help the people who have literally lost everything in what is now the worst bushfire incident in Australian history. You can also head on over to various banks and retailers to make a donation in person. We can't change what happened, but we can stand behind Victoria as a strong and generous nation to support the victims of this tragedy as much as possible.
On a positive note, in less than a day over $10 million was raised to support the victims! And as an aside, The Salvos are also continuing to collect for the victims of the devastating floods in North Queensland just prior to the bushfire tragedy.

Ida takes lead in Judan: The second game of the 53rd Judan title match was held at the Kuroyon Royal Hotel in the city of Omachi in Nagano Prefecture on April 9. Omachi has become closely linked with the Judan tournament: this is the 22nd year in a row that a game from the title match game has been staged here. Omachi is a gateway to the Northern Alps and it has sought to establish itself as "the Alps go village." Four years ago, Ida Atsushi was the game recorder for the Judan game held here and now he was playing in the title match, challenging Takao Shinji (right).
The game started with fierce fighting, and the first notable move was a move by Ida, playing black, that defied a go proverb by letting the opponent drive a wedge through some neighbouring stones (the proverb is, "don't let yourself be split into two"). Despite this, Ida got off to a reasonable start. In the middle-game fighting, Ida took a small lead and managed to hold on to it to the end. He won by 2.5 points after 277 moves. After making a bad start in the title match, he has won two games in a row and now needs just one more win to take the title.
Ko Iso leads Meijin League: Two games were played in the 40th Meijin League last week. On April 6, Ko Iso 8P (B) beat Murakawa Daisuke by 3.5 points. On April 9, So Yokoku 9P (B) Cho U 9P by half a point. There are four players with only one loss in the league, but Ko holds the provisional lead by virtue of having completed five rounds. His score is 4-1; the other players are Rin Kono 9P on 3-1 and Yamashita Keigo 9P and Takao Shinji 9P, both on 2-1.
Quadruple ko: A game between Kono Rin 9P (left) and Mitani Tetsuya 7P (black) played in the main section of the Gosei tournament on April 6 was declared no-contest (by agreement between the players) because of a quadruple ko. There were two double kos in Black's position, one in the top right, the other in the bottom left. So long as these kos continued, the game could not end, but it was so close that Black could not afford to add a stone inside his territory to finish off either ko.
This was the 24th no-contest in an official tournament at the Nihon Ki-in. Eleven of them were from quadruple kos, ten from triple kos, and one from a quintuple ko. The other two were from "chosei" or "eternal (or long) life" (an example is given on page 185 of The Go Players Almanac). Chosei is a hypothetical position that first occurred in a professional game in 1993 and then again in 2009. According to Wikipedia, it also appeared in a Korean game in 2013. Incidentally, a chosei is embedded in the floor of the concourse of Ichigaya Station (the closest station to the Nihon Ki-in), just before the ticket gates.
LG Challengers Cup: To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the LG Cup, an international tournament for players 18 and under was held at the Korean Kiwon (Ki-in) in Seoul on April 10 and 11. At stake was a seat in the main LG tournament, which starts on June 8. There were eight players from Korea, including inseis, and four each from Japan and China. Representing Japan were Ichiriki Ryo 7P, Kyo Kagen 3P, Fujisawa Rina 2P, and Mutsuura Yuta 1P. Three of these players were eliminated in the first round, but Kyo Kagen made it to the second day; he lost to the eventual winner of the tournament, Byan Sang-il 3P of Korea, in the semifinals.

The Seattle Go Center had their own room at Sakura-Con, Seattle's big festival of Japanese anime, manga and games, which was held last weekend, April 3-5, in the Washington State Convention Center. One volunteer, John Richards, put in 32 hours of teaching, and several volunteers provided more than 20 hours of instruction. At peak times, more than 10 volunteers were teaching at once. The students ranged from complete beginners to single digit kyu players who come by each year to get more instruction.
I enjoyed the observation that Solomon Choe 6d made while playing one of the students on a 19×19: "You know, playing go is like making kimchi. That group is kind of dead. [And I don't want to add more stones to it right now.] But I want to preserve it. I want to put it in a pot underground and see if something magical happens." Report/photo by Brian Allen

The Pandanet AGA City League has been going strong for four rounds now. With a couple more games and one more round to go, at least one league is cutting the top positions close.
In the A League, Greater Washington and Boston are in the lead with 6 points each. As they faced off this past round GW got the better of Boston but they're holding on from previous wins. Hot on their tails is LA and Seattle 1. LA still has one game left to play and they will most likely be in playoff contention.
The B and C Leagues have pull-away leaders in Princeton and Berkeley. Both teams are new this year with strong players behind them. They lead their leagues with 8 points each. The next team is currently at 4 points each.
A League:
Greater Washington def Boston (3-0), Seattle 1 def San Francisco 1 (3-0), Los Angeles def Canwa Vancouver 1 (3-0)
B League:
Princeton def Katy, TX 1 (3-0), Bay Area def Canwa Vancouver 2 (3-0), NC Raleigh def Washington DC 2 (3-0)
C League:
Boston 2 def New Orleans (2-1), Atlanta 2 def Atlanta 1 (2-1), SF Bay Area/Berkley def DC Team 3 (3-0)
Round 5 will take place on April 26th at 3PM unless otherwise noted on the schedule pages.

44th Amsterdam International Go Tournament Coming Up in May: Preparations for this year's edition of the Amsterdam Go Tournament – coming up May 15-17 — are in full swing.

Iyama wins second Tournament of Champions: This is a tournament for all the title-winners of the previous year, plus one player selected by the votes of fans. The winner is awarded the Prime Minister's Cup and the Minister of Education's Prize (actually a shield). The format is the same as the NHK Cup, that is, ten minutes per player plus ten minutes of thinking time to be used in one-minute units. The first two rounds are played on the Net, and the semifinals and final are played in person at the Nihon Ki-in. The final is a public game, being played on stage before an audience with a commentary being given simultaneously on stage. (In the tournament list given in Go Weekly, this is only tournament with no cash prize mentioned. Perhaps the players play just for the glory.)
This year, the first two rounds were played on January 26. Listing the results will serve as a review of 2014 tournament go. In the first round, Ichiriki Ryo, King of the News Stars and winner of the Globis Cup and O-kage (Gratitude) Cup, beat Yo Seiki, winner of the Yucho (the post office bank) Cup; Motoki Katsuya, winner of the Hiroshima Aluminium Cup, beat Fujisawa Rina, Women's Honinbo and winner of the Aizu Central Hospital Cup; Takao Shinji, Tengen & Judan, beat Ida Atsushi, selected by fan vote; Yuki Satoshi, NHK Cup-winner and Kansai Ki-in Number One, beat Xie Yimin, Women's Meijin and Kisei; Kono Rin Ryusei beat Hane Naoki Okan; Murakawa Daisuke Oza beat Cho Chikun, winner of Masters Cup; Iyama Yuta, Kisei, Meijin, Honinbo, Gosei, winner of Agon Kiriyama Cup and the first term of this tournament, was seeded into the semifinals.
In the second round, Motoki beat Ichiriki, Takao beat Yuki, and Kono beat Murakawa. The semifinals and final were held at the Nihon Ki-in in Ichigaya on March 29. The semifinals were played in the morning; Iyama (W) beat Kono by resig. and Takao (W) beat Motoki by resig. Actually Iyama started badly in the middle-game fighting against Kono, leading Kobayashi to predict an imminent resignation, but Iyama managed to pull off an upset. The afternoon final fittingly matched the two most successful players in top-seven titles last year: quadruple title-holder Iyama vs. dual title-holder Takao. Iyama drew black in the nigiri and killed a large white group, forcing Takao to resign after 157 moves. The commentary on the same stage was given by Kobayashi Satoru 9P and Yoshihara Yukari 6P (earlier they covered the morning games as well). There's an art to giving commentaries in the presence of the players (who can't see the demonstration board, of course). Usually the commentators avoid mentioning black or white and instead hold up a black or white stone to show the audience which side they are talking about. However, Iyama joked later that he owed his win to occasionally catching Kobayashi's comments.
Iyama wins 500th game: A win over Murakawa Daisuke Oza in Round 1 of the Tengen tournament on April 2 was Iyama Yuta's 500th official win as a professional. He has lost 191 games, so his winning percentage is 72.4%. He is the 100th player to win 500 games and, at 25 years ten months, the third youngest; his winning percentage is the 11th highest. (The youngest player to reach this landmark is Cho U at 25 years five months and the best winning percentage was 76.3, posted by Yamashita Keigo.)
Yamashita becomes Honinbo challenger: Three players were in the running as the 70th Honinbo League entered its final round, held on April 2: Yamashita Keigo (at right), Cho U and Ida Atsushi. However, only Yamashita could win the league outright. Last year he slipped up at the end, losing to Ida Atsushi and letting him force a play-off, which Ida won. This year Yamashita made no mistake: he beat Cho U and topped the league with a score of 6-1. Ida also lost his final game, so Yamashita ended two points clear of the field. Yamashita lost the Honinbo title to Iyama Yuta in 2012, so this will give him a chance to take revenge. The title match will start on May 13. It will be the sixth best-of-seven between these two players; so far, Yamashita has won only one. So far this year, his record is an excellent 12 wins to four losses; since he has just lost a best-of-seven match, the Kisei, that means he hasn't lost a game to anyone besides Iyama.
Results in the final round:
Yamashita Keigo 9P (B) beat Cho U 9P by resig.
Yo Seiki 7P (W) beat Ida Atsushi 8P by resig.
Kono Rin 9P (B) beat Ryu Shikun 9P by resig.
Mimura 9P (W) beat Takao Shinji 9P by resig.
Placings in the league: 1st: Yamashita, 6-1; 2nd: Ida, 4-3; 3rd: Cho U, 4-3; 4th: Kono Rin, 4-3
Losing their places are: Yo (4-3), Mimura (3-4), Takao (2-5), and Ryu (1-6). Yo can count himself a little unlucky: he won his final game, but to keep his place he needed Kono to lose, as there's no play-off for fourth place (Kono was rated higher).
The Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters has decided to award the Abel Prize for 2015 to the American mathematicians John F. Nash Jr. (left) and Louis Nirenberg "for striking and seminal contributions to the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations and its applications to geometric analysis." Outside mathematics, Nash is best known for a paper he wrote about game theory, the mathematics of decision-making, which ultimately won him the 1994 Nobel Prize for economics, and which features prominently in the 2001 film about him, A Beautiful Mind. That film included a scene of Nash — played by Russell Crowe (left, in photo at right) — playing go at Princeton that sparked interest in the game after the film's release.

Mok Jinseok 9p (left) won the 20th Caltex Cup on April 2 in Seoul, Korea, defeating Choi Cheolhan 9p with a 3-1 score. This was Mok Jinseok's second career title, and his first in 15 years: he won the KBS Cup in 2000, defeating Lee Changho 9p. Choi Cheolhan won game 1 of the Caltex, but Mok won the next three games to take the best-of-five match. Mok's nickname is "Boy Wonder" because he defeated Nie Weiping in the 1995 China Korea Lotte Cup when he was just 15 years old, and many Korean baduk fans thought that he would take the torch from Lee Changho. But after winning the KBS Cup when he was 20, Mok never took another title, until now. When the last game was over, Mok burst into tears as his emotions got the better of him, and it took him some time to calm down and give a post-game interview. Choi Cheolhan has now taken second place in the GS Caltex Cup two years running: he was defeated 3-0 by Kim Jiseok last year and lost to Mok this year.
- adapted from a report on Go Game Guru, which includes more details on Mok's long road back to winning a title, as well as the Caltex game records.

Players at the March 28 Boston Spring Open were greeted by a beautiful spring day: bright sun, birds chirping, warm breezes… wait, is that snow I see outside? So, players at the Boston Spring Open braved another harsh Boston spring to compete at the Microsoft NERD center overlooking a frozen Charles River. However, the atmosphere inside heated up quickly, as participants battled through four rounds to top their division.
The Boston Open is the first in a new series of tournaments that introduces a new format: players are split into divisions about five ranks wide and play all even games, except for the 6k – 15k range who play with handicap. This led to many competitive games and a few upsets, although this time the highest ranked players won their divisions. Full results are below.
Special thanks to Andrew Hall, who willed the tournament into existence, and Chun Sun, who arranged for space at the NERD center and dealt with much of the logistics. Also, thanks to Kate Baxter for helping to pick up coffee and donuts, as well as Neil Ritter for generously making his boards, stones, and clocks available for general use.

Alistair Wall Misses Record by Half Point: Alistair Wall 2d scored a massive 45 points to win the Stacey Grand Prix, the grand prix for most games won in the top group at a year's tournaments. The record of 45.5 points was set in 1996 by Francis Roads. Ironically, the game that cost Alistair the record was against Francis at the 2014 Mind Sports Olympiad, where Alistair passed with a dame point left on the board and lost the game by half a point.

John Isner's poor end-of-season form continued at the Valencia Open Wednesday as the big-serving American lost 7-6 (2), 4-6, 6-4 to David Goffin in the second round. The American player hit 21 aces but it wasn't enough against his Belgian opponent, who is enjoying an impressive season in which he is climbing the rankings. Goffin started the year at No. 175 and is currently ranked 45th. Isner has gone 4-5 since winning in Winston-Salem in August, and will find his bid to qualify for the World Tour Finals next month severely limited with only the Paris Masters left to play before the season-ending event.

Like many others I downloaded and installed WP 8.1 to my phone, everything appears to be working fine with the phone and the update is quite an improvement overall, however I'm having one problem with my HTC 8x (T-Mobile) I cannot maintain the internet sharing feature working for more than just a few minutes.
I mostly share my internet connection with my Samsung Galaxy (Android tablet) and with my Windows Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, however once I start sharing it works fine for a little, ( around 8 minutes or so) and then boom, the internet is not shared anymore.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks to your very own staff, however, I no longer need to worry about that. While outside on a smoke break, myself, my girlfriend, several friends, and countless others witnessed the girl you had working the door scream a barrage of the most racist and homophobic slander I have ever heard spew from any individual's mouth, and I used to have friends that were Nazis! Now, I don't know what her deal was with the people she was screaming at, nor do I care. Being that I have several friends who are members of the gay community, I was, how do you say, FUCKING DISGUSTED by what the bitch was saying. If I wasn't so dead set against men hitting women, I would've knocked her out myself....
