Maybe Simon Cowell and Carmen Electra really are "just friends" -- because this weekend, he stepped out with a hot new lady ... and she has no problem with nudity.
The "X Factor" judge was spotted with "True Blood" actress Janina Gavankar in the back of his car outside of Cecconi's West Hollywood on Saturday night. Gavankar plays the oft-naked, shapeshifting Luna on the supernatural HBO show.
When photographed by the paparazzi, Simon, 53, gave one of his trademark scowls as Janina, 32, smiled in the backseat.
No word on when the two met, but Janina posted a photo on Instagram of her hanging out with Simon, L.A. Reid and Jermaine Dupri two months ago.
Simon also recently tweeted "hello trouble" to her three weeks ago.

Allergies are diseases of the immune system that cause an overreaction to substances called "allergens." Allergies are grouped by the kind of trigger, time of year or where symptoms appear on the body: indoor and outdoor allergies (also called "hay fever," "seasonal," "perennial" or "nasal" allergies), food allergies, latex allergies, insect allergies, skin allergies and eye allergies. People who have allergies can live healthy and active lives.
There are some simple things you can do to prevent allergies at home, work school, outside and when you travel.
At Home.
At Work.
Allergies at home and work are similar and affect millions of people each year. Allergy symptoms, like sneezing, nasal congestion and headache, may make it difficult to concentrate. Every work environment will have specific allergy problems so talk to your health care provider or pharmacist about how you can prevent allergies at your specific workplace.
At School.
Children may face allergens in the classroom and playground. In fact, children in the United States miss about two million school days each year because of allergy symptoms. Parents, teachers and health care providers can work together to help prevent and treat childhood allergies. Monitor the classroom for plants, pets or other items that may carry allergens. Encourage your child to wash his/her hands after playing outside. Many of the allergens in thehome will also be found at school. Although it may not be an option to vacuum or dust the classroom, there may be treatment options to help a child manage his/her symptoms during the school day.
There are certain times during the year when plants and trees release pollen into the air. The timing of these pollen seasons depends on your geographic location. Different regions have different types of plants that pollinate at different times. Depending on where you live, allergy seasons may be mild or severe. Experts estimate that 35 million Americans suffer from allergies because of airborne pollen!
Tiny particles that are released from trees, weeds and grasses are known as pollen. These particles are carried by the wind from tall treetops all the way to your nose. But before you shrug off fancy flowers in fear of sniffles, remember that the types of pollen that most commonly cause your allergies are from plain-looking plants, such as trees, grasses and weeds. These plants produce small and light pollen, perfect for catching a ride on a gentle breeze.
Similar to pollen, mold spores are a seasonal pest. If you are sensitive to mold spores, you may have symptoms from spring to late fall. Yet, even after the first frost of winter, some mold spores can continue to grow in freezing temperatures. The severity of your mold spore allergies can depend on the climate that you live in. In the warmest areas of the United States, mold spores grow all year! But before you move to Antarctica, remember that mold spores also grow indoors, making it a year-round problem.
We are all on the go and there are a few things to keep in mind to prevent outdoor allergies during peak season, when the pollen count is high.
Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
If you suffer from allergies, there may be other concerns when you travel. The allergy climate may be different than the one where you live. When you travel by car, bus or train, you may find dust mites, mold spores and pollen bothersome. Turn on the air conditioner or heater before getting in your car and travel with the windows closed to avoid allergens from outside. Travel early in the morning or late in the evening when the air quality is better.
When flying to your favorite vacation spot, remember that air quality and dryness on planes can affect you if you have allergies. If a cruise is your next vacation, be aware of the season and temperature at your destination(s). In tropical, damp climates there are allergens like dust mites, mold spores and pollen. In cold, damp climates, you may be exposed to dust mites and mold spores. Once you arrive at your hotel, there may be dust mites and mold spores lurking. If you are staying with family or friends, the same types of allergens that you find at home may be present.

I hear a lot about the good aspects of using Time Machine, particularly the fact that it's so easy to use that people actually do backups! What are the downsides to using Time Machine compared to other contemporary backup programs? My particular interest is the disadvantages of using it in a (semi)-managed environment i.e. at a university. Thanks!
Here are some of the limitations you have to accept or mitigate if you choose Time Machine:
Once you are aware of these limitations, it's fairly easy to work around all but the first limitation with some planning and/or extra software / hardware. The HFS+ format for storage is pretty inflexible with no realistic mitigation or workarounds.
Another thing worth mentioning, rather than which backup application to use, is the entire strategy behind your backup plan and the physical issue: If both your computer and the external drive with Time Machine are in the same location, and the building burns down, you lose both of them, and all your data. So people who are paranoid in a good way would back this up further with a cloud-based solution for backing up a sub-set of their critical data off site (say over the Internet using Carbonite, Mozy, and/or iCloud), or they would have multiple physical hard drives or tape backup systems and they would physically move a backup volume to a remote location (in another building, in another part of town) on a regular basis. Not everybody needs this extra security, but it's worth considering in the larger question.
I'll add my answer from my own experience. With time machine:
In my work environment we use Commvault Simpana to backup our servers and some desktops. We are able to backup offsite and onsite simultaneously to multiple locations and media, on a schedule we choose. Commvault is a difficult to set up, expensive backup suite so I'm not making a direct comparison here, but it's interesting to explore nonetheless what other backup software offers that TM doesn't. Please feel free contradict anything I've said above with examples, as I'd love to be able to get around some of these issues I've outlined.
One substantial downside to Time Machine is that unlike clones produced with CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, the backups it produces are not bootable.
Disclosure: I have no affiliation with any software company, but for one term in college, I was roommates with the author of CarbonCopyCloner.
In addition to the other downsides noted:
(To mitigate this I generally avoid mounting my backup drive whenever I have a performance-critical process running.)
I would like to add some more points here as a drawback of Time Machine:-
I agree with your comment that the main advantage of time machine is that it is easy to use and is low maintenance, so users will actually have backups. It works well for incremental backups, but may not provide a permanent archival snapshot of a system on an old date. The reason for this is that it prioritizes recent changes over older data if backup space is limited. The recommended solution is to have a Time Machine drive be several times larger than the sum of the volumes that it is backing up, but this is not always feasible, so it is good to have a secondary mechanism for occasionally archiving critical data.
Time Machine will make it easy for users to recover data, from a local backup, that they recently lost on their boot drive, without the need for I.T. personnel intervention. Without Time Machine this problem typically goes unaddressed and users just suffer in silence. As an I.T. manager you will probably be called upon to assist in storage and recovery of archival data, or may need centralized management tools not provided by Time Machine. So my feeling is that Time Machine would be a great addition, one that would make your Mac users very grateful, but it won't supplant your need for other archival or recovery tools.
Time Machine was evil to me. It did not properly prompt me how to deal with the file vault situation. I am forever drag and drop and carbonite. Note: Carbonite does not store pictures and videos in the big format you may have them in so if you want your FULL DATA of your photos (bigger files with more detail) then you need to drag and drop them to an external hard drive and let carbonite deal with all the smaller files. Carbonite does not turn your file vault data into encrypted data that you may NEVER have back again and it is LOST FOREVER!!! Carbonite saves it (even while file vault is running) as perfect just the way you see it except as I said before larger files such as photos and videos.
I hope you all stay away from Time Machine if you have precious data and forget when you had file vault on or off. There are no prompters like a window popping up saying "Please before doing this time machine back up turn off your file vault, log out of your computer and log back in and THEN run the time machine". That would be a very simple window to have pop up don't you think?

The 39 days of occupation in Lownsdale and Chapman squares began as an idealistic statement of protesters seeking economic equality and social justice.
Within days the camp became a tent city for the homeless and mentally ill, dominated at times by trouble-seekers and drug dealers. The protest camp turned two city parks into a putrid smear of mud.
But Occupy Portland also accomplished a great deal. In a way that labor unions, academics and writers could not, the organizers raised this city's awareness of an economic system gone devastatingly wrong.
The campers also accomplished something they surely never intended: They teed up the mayoral hopes of the city's relatively untested police chief, Mike Reese.
Reese led the often-troubled Police Bureau through a carefully orchestrated effort to reclaim the parks without the violence, tear gas or stun grenades police used against Occupy protesters in other cities.
Through sheer stamina and rope-a-dope tactics, Reese's officers exhausted a raucous Sunday morning crowd of 5,000 in the streets—then strolled into the Occupy Portland camp a few hours later to clear out tents, tarps and other debris.
In the end, the bureau's riot squad efficiently shoved about 100 remaining protesters out of the park and made more than 50 arrests. By 2 pm Sunday, the parks were back in city hands.
Running through the story of Occupy Portland are elements of chance and unpredictability, namely that the political movement appeared just as Reese, who has never run for office before, was privately contemplating a mayoral campaign. On Nov. 11, while preparing his troops for the weekend takeover of the two occupied city parks, Reese filed the paperwork forming a campaign committee.
Reese says his political aspirations didn't influence his approach to Occupy Portland or any other police matter.
"There was never any intersection between our actions and my considering running for mayor," Reese says. "I'm really good at compartmentalizing my life."
But the endgame for Occupy Portland may be a rare case where political considerations actually improved the outcome of a difficult situation.
WW's on-the-ground reporting, and more than 900 pages of correspondence obtained under the state's public records law, show how Reese and the Police Bureau, over the course of five weeks, took command of the Occupy Portland situation and controlled the public message.
They were able to do so because two key players in the drama gave them the opportunity.
One was the Occupy movement itself. Its political message was overwhelmed by organizers' inability to control the camp.
"The atmosphere changed," says Reid Parham with Occupy Portland. "The squatting detracted from the movement, and people made some awful behavioral decisions that made what was a safe space unwelcome to a lot of people."
The approach of another player, Mayor Sam Adams, who oversees the Police Bureau, helped create the opportunity for Reese.
Adams faced a daunting problem: trying to communicate with a leaderless and increasingly chaotic group of protesters who were unable to formulate any specific demands.
WW asked Adams if, once he allowed Occupy Portland to stay in the parks, he had a plan to deal with the group. His answer: "No."
"Mayors all over the country had the same answer," Adams says. "We all agreed we'd just have to see how it played out."
Adams was reluctant to challenge the group, even when it shut down Southwest Main Street for nearly a week.
"I was trying to channel what I thought were the collective principles of this city," Adams says.

On the heels of the suggestion by the National Rifle Association (NRA) that schools should have armed protection to prevent another Sandy Hook Elementary School-style shooting, numerous groups have announced firearms training programs for teachers, some for free. In Ohio, the Buckeye Firearms Foundation is providing teachers with free firearms training. Foundation spokesman Jim Reese said:
We need to examine how we enhance the safety of our children in that environment. The first responder in a situation such as what we had in that school has got to be the teachers. You've got to educate the teacher, and when you look at the folks who stop these things while they're in progress, it typically is someone else who is armed.
Jim Irvine, president of the foundation, said that the usual $1,000 fee for the three-day training, which includes lodging, tuition, and ammunition, would be paid for by the foundation, adding: "What better use for an educational foundation that to help educators protect our children?"
Irvine, who is also an airline pilot and carries a concealed firearm, said that up until the ghastly attack on youngsters in Connecticut earlier in December, "School boards were just in denial. That denial got ripped away in Newtown. The idea [behind providing this training for teachers] is to make it hard to kill a kid." He noted that airline safety improved after pilots were permitted to carry following training. Schools should be no exception.
In Salt Lake City, the Utah Shooting Sports Council said it would waive its usual $50 fee for teachers taking its one-day training class. It will be a pilot program initially involving just 24 teachers but will be expanded after the first of the year to include 200 more. Clark Aposhian, one of the instructors, said:

Candy that is both "gross" and "large" has weird and wide appeal.
Case in point: The World's Largest Gummy Brain is a 3.75-pound bubble gum-flavored blob. Sounds totally gross, but after seeing it, I find myself wanting to touch it and maybe even try a piece of the frontal lobe.
Or how about the World's Largest Gummy Worm? Just looking at this 26-inch worm gives me the chills. Same chills I'd get if I saw a Garter snake in my lawn. Even so, I could see myself shipping one of these to the biggest gardener, fisherman, or worm in my life.
Then, there's the World's Largest Gummy Witch's Tongue, Viper's Tongue, and Joker's Tongue. I'll bite my tongue right now to avoid saying anything tasteless about these 1/4-pound blobs, which are perfect for Halloween 2012.
Tongue factoid: Stephen Taylor, the guy who holds the Guinness World Record for longest tongue, measures in at 3.86 inches. The World's Largest Gummy Tongues are almost double the size of Stephen's record breaker. I believe Gene Simmons is now weeping.
I'll leave you with two more large and gross gummies: The World's Largest Gummy Frog and World's Largest Gummy Slug. I double dog dare you to leave the slug on the desk of the biggest slacker at your office.

|Women's Track & Field » Schedule » Roster » News » Coaches » Camps » Recruiting Questionnaire
Thursday, June 23, 2011
Two Lipscomb University Track athletes and two coaches will travel to Eugene, Oregon this week to compete in the United States Junior National Championships at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus.
To qualify for the United States Junior National Championships an athlete must meet a qualifying standard in each event and the Junior classification is limited to athletes who are fourteen (14) years or older on the day of competition and will not become twenty (20) years of age during the year of the competition.
The 2011 USA Junior Outdoor Championships will also serve as the selection meet for the 2011 Pan American Junior Championships. The top four finishers will be asked to register, with two being selected to compete.
"It is also another nice step forward for our program," said Taylor. "The improvement of the program has been dramatic in the four years I've been here. It's exciting to see Lipscomb Cross Country and Track & Field rising up to that upper tier national level. A meet like this gives us great exposure for the program and the university.
Taylor hopes that the Junior National Championship is a stepping block for the program.
"Our next steps are to get teams to cross country nationals, get individuals regularly to track nationals, and to qualify athletes to the US National Championships," said Taylor. "With the recruiting success we are having, I am certain we will be bringing more athletes to the Junior National Championships each year as well."
Freshman Missy Dowd just missed qualifying in the 5000m this year, and freshman Tessa Hoefle, who ran 17:15 for 5000m this past season, was born in October of 1991, just missing being qualified by the age limit requirement.

Enter sand, man: 'We wish it were snow'
WALDPORT, Ore. - Oceana Drive looks like a sand dune instead of a neighborhood street.
Carol Bothello knows the routine all too well.
"We wish it were snow," she told KVAL News, "because at least the snow would melt and go away on its own."
And this was a good day, she said. Bothello has seen it much worse.
"Piles up on the doors where you can't get out," she said. "My husband is out there shoveling, shoveling."
It happens every winter: storms blow the sand, and the sand piles up and forms dunes against anything stationary, like a house.

Stanford, CA (Sports Network) - Andre Roberson tallied a career-high 24 points and to go along with eight rebounds as the Colorado Buffaloes held off the Stanford Cardinal, 65-63, in a Pac-12 Conference clash at Maples Pavilion.
Roberson shot 9-of-13 from the field for Colorado (19-8, 9-6 Pac-12), which has gotten hot with wins in five of six. Spencer Dinwiddie added 19 points for the visitors.
For Stanford (16-13, 7-9), Andy Brown logged 17 points and eight boards, Chasson Randle had 16 points and Dwight Powell scored 12 points. Josh Huestis hauled in nine rebounds, while Aaron Bright dished out six assists for the Cardinal, who are trending in the wrong direction with losses in four of five.
After shooting 46.2 percent from the field in the first half, Stanford carried a 32-31 lead into intermission. Colorado shot only 37.9 percent from the floor in the first half, but it kept the game close by making 8-of-9 at the foul line.
The Cardinal gave themselves a cushion by opening up the second half on a 6-0 run, but the Buffs climbed back to take a 47-45 lead with 9:31 left on a Roberson 3-pointer. They continued to lead down the stretch, but a Brown 3- pointer brought Stanford's deficit to just two with seven seconds left. After Dinwiddie missed the front end of a one-and-one, Stanford collected the rebounded but wasn't left with enough time to put up a final attempt.
Colorado outscored Stanford in the paint, 36-22.

Hello everyone!
Hope all r fine. I need your help.
I want to write code in php to export the data from db table to xls file (not csv file). Let me explain:
Suppose, Table1 has 5 columns (c1, c2, c3, c4, c5) and Table 2 has 3 columns (d1, d2, d3). Now, I want to do two things:

OGDENSBURG A lot has changed at Ogdensburg Free Academys Van Dusen Memorial Track and Field Invitational since 1981.
But one thing that has stood impervious to the test of time, like an unreachable star, is the record double in the 800 (1:55.9) and 1,600 (4:13.1) that was set in 1981 by Norwood-Norfolks Jim Tyler.
Tyler, who went on to break the four-minute mark in the mile at the University of Notre Dame, made his first appearance at the Van Dusen since 1981 on Saturday. He saw a future Notre Dame athlete in Harvey Smith help Malone to the boys title in the 90th edition of the invitational, as the Huskies swept the boys and girls meets.
Smith won the 100- and 400-meter dashes and was named Outstanding Sprinter as the Malone boys tallied 165 points and were followed by Potsdam at 67, Gouverneur at 55 and OFA at 54.
The Malone girls took advantage of an opportunity created when Canton entered a group of runners in the William F. Eddy Meet in Schenectady. The Huskies tallied 110 points, with Canton taking second at 83.50 and Madrid-Waddington third at 58.50. In the combined standings, Malone led with 275, followed by Canton at 100.5 and Madrid-Waddington 91.
Tyler, meanwhile, was delighted to see some old friends and to see that the meet was still one of the crown jewels of north country track and field.
I usually get home every couple of years to see my folks but I usually dont visit this time of year, said Tyler who now owns an architectural firm in Bismark, N.D., and maintains his love for distance running as a marathoner.
I always loved this track and I have a lot of great memories from here, he said. It seemed that the straight-aways were always a little longer here.
The Malone boys didnt seem to have any problems and were helped by Indian River competing at the Cicero-North Syracuse Invitational on Saturday.
We had a great day and our depth really carried us. We were hoping that Indian River would be here, which would have been a great challenge for us, said Malone coach Matt Tessier, whose team features three NCAA Division I recruits in Smith, Rourk Marlow (University of Hartford) and Morgan Marlow (University of Massachusetts).
The Malone girls also took advantage of the absence of competitor in Canton.
We ran very well today and we have a very young team, said Malone girls coach Mike Wescott. Our prom always falls on this weekend but our girls still wanted to compete. So they did their events and headed home.
Canton gave us chance, sending some of their best runners to the Eddy Meet, but it meant a lot to our girls to win this meet.
In the boys meet, Potsdams Ethan Vinson was recognized as the Outstanding Runner, OFAs Taylor Bouchard was cited as the Outstanding Jumper, and Clifton-Fines Dave Dobronsky was cited as the Outstanding Thrower.
Malones Smith had his sights set on the meet records in the 100 and 400 dashes but fell short with high octane winning times of 11.0 and 49.0.
I ran my season best in the 400. I ran a 48.2 in the states last year but I think I am on schedule, said Smith, referring to his plans to become a sprinter at Notre Dame. Last year at this time I couldnt have run as fast I did today.
Potsdams Vinson broke up Malones domination of the distance arena, posting a classic 800 and 1600 double victory and ran on Potsdams first place 400 relay.
I broke two minutes in the 800 for the first time so that was a big step for me, said Vinson who plans to run collegiately at SUNY Plattsburgh.
Bouchard produced host OFAs only individual titles leading the triple jump and the high jump.
Dobronsky uncoiled two real big throws with NAC season bests the shot put in 44-7 1/2 and the discus throw at 143-7.
The Huskies girls illustrated their youth with eighth grader Emily Pomainville, who was honored as the Outstanding Female Runner. She edged her sister Carrie Pomainville for first place in the 1,500 run, prevailed by a lean over Moira Fayle of Lowville in the 3,000 run (both runners clocked at 11:16.20), and combined with Rebekah Bond, Madeleine Champagne and Hannah Perry on the winning 1,600 relay. Bond also ran on the Huskies 3,200 relay win and produced the only meet record of the day when she ran a 7:52.50 in the 2,000 meter steeplechase, bettering the 7:55.80 posted by Cantons Aimee Beaudette in 2011.
The steeplechase is my favorite event because you do so many different things, Bond said. It is just a lot of fun.
Joining Emily Pomainville in the circle of individual award winners in the girls meet were a pair of Tupper Lake standouts in Outstanding Sprinter Madi Fortier and Outstanding Jumper Samantha Ormsby, and the Outstanding Thrower Katie Marcellus of Madrid-Waddington.
Fortier won the 100 and 200 dashes, Ormsby paced the triple jump and took second in the long jump to Lowvilles Alexis Bach, and Marcellus placed first in the discus throw and took second in the shot put to Tupper Lakes smooth eighth grader Katie Zurek.
Rounding out the Van Dusen girls individual champions were: Paige Hamilton of Canton (400), Leta Ashley of Peru (800), Marissa Perez of Malone (100 hurdles), Emma Bonk of Indian River (400 hurdles), Jacalyn Lamica of Malone (high jump) and Briana Hayes of Norwood-Norfolk (pentathlon).
Bonk, who is the daughter of former OFA high jump standout Ryan Bonk, also ran on Indian Rivers first place 400 relay with Taylor Baynham, Margaret Frezar and Makele Shanks. Malone took the 3,200 relay with Rebekkah Bond, Brooke and Morgan Bonner and Madeleine Champagne.
Also earning first place medals and trophies in the boys meet were: Watertowns Matthew Olney (pentathlon); Massenas Kyle Nicholson (200 dash); Conor Gordon of Malone, who approached the 33-year old meet record of 9:15.4 in the 3,200 by running a 9:17.30; Anthony Way of Gouverneur (110 hurdles); John Picaro of Malone (400 hurdles); Corey Lamere of Malone (3,000 steeplechase); and Andrew Brush of Massena (long jump).
OFA won one of the best races of the day in 1,600 relay when Collin Sovie, Andrew Colburn and Donovan Smith set up Alex Wood for blistering come-from-behind victory over Potsdam. The Sandstoners claimed the 400 relay title with Ethan Vinson, Ebuka Ononye, Oden Robertson and Peter Clark.
Malone took the 3,200 relay with Josh Bordeaux, Will Bronner, Conor Gordon and Corey Lamere.
n NOTE: Because of ongoing renovations at St. Lawrence University, OFA has been designated as the host venue for the Section 10 Championships, which will be held on May 29-30. Action begins at 4:15 p.m. each day.

STILLWATER — Markel Brown leapt like a little boy near midcourt, not once but twice, celebrating the dunk of the night against South Florida.
Oklahoma State basketball: How Philip Jurick cut out the drive-thru tacos and got well quickly
Lob Stilly? Nope, and Brown wasn't even involved.
Yet Oklahoma State's most dynamic dunkster got all giddy over Philip Jurick's one-handed, putback slam, a highlight to the big man's forceful game that featured a career-high 14 rebounds, seven points and two blocked shots.
"I've never seen him get that high before," Brown said. "I didn't know he could jump that high. I don't know what got into him on that play."
Not drive-thru tacos, apparently. Jurick swore off those, part of an offseason shape-up to aid his recovery from a torn Achilles suffered barely nine months ago. That he's playing so soon is remarkable. That he's soaring — figuratively and literally — makes it worth asking again: what has gotten into him?
"It borders on a miracle," said Cowboys coach Travis Ford.
Much of OSU's early success has been focused on Marcus Smart and Le'Bryan Nash and Brown and others, with good reason. Jurick belongs in the picture, too, for his mere presence in the post as much as anything, but also for his effort in working to get well soon on a team otherwise lacking legitimate size and muscle inside.
Through a 6-1 start that has the Cowboys ranked No. 23 nationally entering Saturday's 3 p.m. home game against Missouri State, Jurick has provided much-needed bulk in the paint. He's averaging 3.4 points and 6.7 rebounds, numbers that don't fully project his impact.
"Philip gives you that presence," Ford said. "He takes up space. He's hard to score over. He's a pretty good one-on-one defender against guys his own size."
Jurick has 10 blocked shots, and many more altered shots. With the Cowboys pressuring the ball more, the 6-11 senior offers security to an attacking style.
"He's kind of our relief man," Smart said. "Sometimes we get beat off the dribble because we're putting so much pressure on the ball, but we have him back there. He gives us a chance to clean up our mistakes."

CLARYCollection: AFP 2013 AFPFOR AFP STORY BY BRIGETTE DUSSEAU Dog tags belonging to 1st Lt. Tim McLaughlin, who drove a Marine Corps tank into Iraq in 2003, are seen at an exhibit displaying 36 pages from his diaries, each page blown up to poster-size at the The Bronx Documentary Center in New York March 14, 2013. Timed to the 10th anniversary of the invasion, the exhibit centers around large-format reprints of a diary written by Lt. Tim McLaughlin, who was at the Pentagon on 9/11, whose battalion spearheaded the Iraq invasion, and whose American flag was placed over a famous statue of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad's Firdos Square. The exhibit which opens March 14, will include the iconic flag, which Tim kept in a safe deposit box when he returned home from Iraq. It will also feature photos of the invasion by Gary Knight and texts by Peter Maass. AFP PHOTO / TIMOTHY A. CLARY (Photo credit should read TIMOTHY A. CLARY/AFP/Getty Images)

Junk Skull sounds like something the ocean rejected, but it's actually a new online retailer selling well-designed gadgets and other hip, pretty things, based out of the tiny British isle of Jersey. Thanks to the magic of Twitter, we found out that Junk Skull was adding Tags to customer receipts, and founder Danny Policarpo was kind enough to answer some of my probing questions by email.
Policarpo just launched Junk Skull about three months ago, after working in the e-commerce industry for four years. "I have always been fairly tech-savvy," he writes, "but I don't have any [software developer] skills or code-building experience. Something like Microsoft Tag that can easily be created by the user and [that gives businesses] the ability to track it using reports and analytics is a massive bonus."
So why Tag over other barcode solutions? "They are easy to create, use, customize, and track the end user usage all from one location," he says. "The other main reason is that they are unique and stand out! Which is what Junk Skull's main ethos is all about: the coupling of functionality and aesthetics in the products that we pick." It's true – a vintage-inspired mock cassette tape is actually a tape dispenser; a pair of pencils have drumsticks on the end.
Shoppers who scan the Tag on their invoice are connected with a discount code for future orders. "Originally we didn't have anything in place that would be greatly benefitted by the Tag," writes Policarpo, "then we discovered The Fancy and got in talks with them to do a joint collaboration. [The Tag] involves users adding their favorite products to their profiles, and once they reach 10 products from our store, a discount code is unlocked." He plans to use Tag's free analytics to see how well it does, and tweak if necessary.

Members of Fair Play, South Union, Oakway and Crossroads Fire departments performed water shuttle training on July 20. Having the ability to quickly transport water from remote locations to fire locations is essential in areas where no or few fire hydrants are located. To perform this safely and quickly requires hands-on training. Focus of Saturday's training was to efficiently establish water source locations at hydrants and via draft from Lake Hartwell, as well as dumping water into portable tanks located remotely from the water supply points. When this ability to transport water is verified by the insurance services office, the result is not only better fire protection but also lower fire insurance ratings for those greater than 1,000 feet from a fire hydrant. Fair Play was successful in demonstrating this ability in 2001 and citizens of that district have realized significant insurance premium savings as a result.

Think of your coolest friend, the one with enviably effortless style that reflects her adventurous spirit. She's the kind of girl who's friends with the band, travels spontaneously, and feels at home just about anywhere. The subject of today's Gift Guide is none other than the Chic Nomad, an intrepid woman of the world like The Kills' lead singer Alison Mosshart. This bohemian wanderer's wardrobe--a mash-up of California casual mixed with Parisian chic--is influenced by a little of everything, so we collected gifts that speak to her eclectic sensibilities. Continue reading for our suggestions, and check out today's slideshow for even more ideas.Equipment Keira Fawn Python Print Shirt ($258)
While the Chic Nomad appreciates easy, unfussy pieces, she's certainly still in tune with the most current trends. Gift her one of Equipment's classic button-downs in an of-the-moment python print.
Lika Mimika Rabbit Blue Shoes ($150)
Sensible yet stylish footwear is a top priority for anyone with a nomadic lifestyle, so your giftee will adore these cozy slip-ons. The shoes are ideal travel attire, as they're easy to slip on and off when you're dashing around an airport or train station.
n.d.c. Made By Hand Passport Cover ($110)
For a truly unique gift idea, think outside the box with a passport cover. A sartorial-minded trekker needs one that's as chic as the rest of her look--and this elegant rendition does the trick.
Rag & Bone The Grand Prix Winter White Jeans ($253)
Rag & Bone's motocross jeans, which are just a little cooler than your classic white skinnies, epitomize the Chic Nomad's tough-luxe aesthetic.
Fenton x Prabal Gurung Brass Steer Skull Ring ($345)
Fenton's Dana Lorenz and Prabal Gurung teamed up to create this bold stunner that balances downtown edge and uptown sophistication. Plus, the ring adds a little western charm to any ensemble.
Supreme Rose Leather Belt ($128) in Brown
Supreme's intricate belt lends visual interest to a casual uniform of broken-in jeans and a plaid shirt.
Burberry Leather-Trimmed Rabbit-Felt Fedora ($575)
Burberry's fedora caters to the androgynous element in the Chic Nomad's style aesthetic. It's especially convenient for on-the-road moments when hair grooming falls to the bottom of her to-do list.
Givenchy Paillettes Paradise Scarf ($390)
The Chic Nomad tends to favor scarves, which can serve as a throw-on-and-go accessory or as a makeshift pillow for long flights. Get her one that's going to turn heads, like this Givenchy scarf in a brilliant hue.
Aesop Tuberose Lip Heal ($31)
Aesop's tuberose-infused oil is the key to retaining moisture in your lips--a challenge for anyone hopping on and off of airplanes. Aesop doesn't use wax or petroleum, letting its natural botanicals stave off dryness.--Tiffany Tse

The Disruptive Marquice Cole
FLORHAM PARK–The signing of Marquice (pronounced Mar-KWEECE) Cole by the Jets in February 2009 didn't garner too much attention. The former Northwestern Wildcat, a Chicago native, was originally signed as an undrafted free agent by the Oakland Raiders in 2007 and then spent brief periods with both the Tennessee Titans' and the New Orleans Saints' practice squads.
In 2009, Cole played in 11 games for the Jets, mostly on special teams. Generally quiet and unassuming, he quickly made his mark with his speed and raw talent.
Special teams coach Mike Westhoff has worked closely with Cole over the past year and talked about what has made him such an important part of the unit. "He's one our, if not the fastest, players. He's exceptionally fast. When he came he was very green, but he kept working and working to improve his skills."
According to Westhoff, all facets of Cole's game have improved dramatically, his blocking, his tackling and his cover skills. He is a central component to three of the four special teams – punt coverage, punt return and kick-off return.
"He's our flier (gunner) on special teams," Westhoff said. "We count on him to get downfield and be disruptive. He's so fast, he can force a fair catch."
Cole was inactive for the game against the Miami Dolphins last year when RB Ted Ginn ran two kickoff returns back for touchdowns. Westhoff thinks that might not have happened if Cole had been on the field. "We never established an edge (in that game)," he said. "Marquice is able to establish the edge. He can push it down and push it deep. You can't come at us at an angle (with him in there)."
So, what would happen this year, if the team wanted to deactivate Cole, would Westhoff protest? "Absolutely, no question," he said.
"He's an integral part of what we're doing," Westhoff said. "And, I envision him getting better and better because I see the improvements that he's made with the experience he's gaining. His technique gets better."
On defense, Cole also has significant roles that he continues to work at as well and he is feeling far more comfortable this year. "I have more confidence in the defense and more understanding of the defense," Cole said. "I can play to my level more."
Dennis Thurman has been just as satisfied with Cole's progress as Westhoff. "Physically he can do everything we want," the defensive backs coach said. "Quice is one of the best athletes on the team. He just has to be more consistent. He's very talented, but it's about what you do with that talent."
Although quiet and focused, Cole does have his fun. He's a huge MMA fan and he and Mark Sanchez have developed a quirky friendship where they make bets on silly day-to-day things. "We'll see two slugs and bet on which one goes faster," Cole said laughing. "Right now Mark owes me $300."
Hey Sanchez, this guy is key in establishing your field position. Pay up.

if you are born in the United States you are a citizen, correct?[/quote]
Yes, that's correct.
I have a few friends who are in US with business visa and their children were born in the US, thus, they ( the children ) are US citizens by birth and are eligible to run as Presidents.
No. There are others with similar provisions.Is the US the only country in which that is true?
Many choose NOT to becomes citizens of European countries. One of my aunt was working in Hong Kong ( when UK was its colonial power ) and had two children there. All the family members are Citizens of UK ( they hold UK passport ).Since, as said, children born of US citizens in European countries are not citizens of those countries but of the US...
If they are children of US citizens, YES. Not only outposts but anywhere as long as the parents are citizens.And isn't it also children born in US outposts are citizens of the US?

Flight deals to Rome through airberlin will take you to an ancient capital that is considered to be the world's largest outdoor museum. Witness what 3,000 years' of development has created in this cornerstone of western culture. Cobbled streets connect a plethora of world-renowned attractions and quaint neighborhoods. As you stroll along the bustling streets and active open plazas, you will immediately get a taste of the Eternal City's wonderful lifestyle and people.
Top Rome Attractions
- Get in touch with your inner gladiator by visiting the Coliseum, an amphitheater battleground frequented by the empire's fiercest warriors
- Discover ancient Roman gods at the Pantheon, a homage to the heavens that was the largest domed building for nearly 1,500 years
- Visit the Vatican and marvel at the impressive collection of art and architecture including the Sistine Chapel, murals in the Raphael Rooms, and Da Vinci's portrait of Catholic Saint Jerome
Hidden Rome Gems
Your flights to Rome will enable you to visit such wondrous sites as Ostia Antica, the ancient port featuring impressive remnants of a town that once supported a thriving empire. You won't need to buy tickets to Rome's greatest attractions, as the city itself is the greatest museum on Earth. Be sure to visit Parco Del Colle Oppio and see the remains of Nero's villa.
Rome's Pleasures
Step into one of the authentic pizzerias to enjoy a truly splendid slice of pizza. A hearty home-cooked Italian meal made with fresh pasta is never hard to find. Don't forget to top things off with a creamy scoop of gelato.
Plan Your Rome Holiday
Rome is pleasant to visit during the seasons of fall and spring, when the temperatures and crowds are quite manageable. January to March is the best time to find cheap hotels in Rome during the region's tourism off-season. Your airberlin flight to Rome will provide a comfortable start to your vacation.

No company has had it as rough as BlackBerry has this year. With good news few and very far between, the embattled Canadian company has seen its stock plummet to the point that it is bleeding money, employees, and anything else it can to stay relevant. Besides avoiding falling on their faces, BlackBerry should be trying to do anything and everything to keep going into 2014. Here is our list of potential New Years Resolutions for BlackBerry.
#1 - Do One Thing Really Well
Stop trying to Apple, Samsung, or Windows. BlackBerry could be dominating the business world if it stuck to its niche. If it wasn't for BlackBerry's sullied name they would likely still be well respected in the business world. In 2014 BlackBerry should try to reinvent itself as the ultimate business phone, instead of trying to be a mediocre iPhone.
#2 - Bring Back The Keyboard Full Time
BlackBerry users love their QWERTY keyboards. They are crazy for them. Maybe some are sold on touch-screens, but diehard BlackBerry fans are all about physical keyboards. Whether it's a case of familiarity, or the perceived durability, the QWERTY keyboard is, and should continue to be, the cash cow for this ailing company.
#3 - Pony Up And Make A Real Phone
BlackBerry this year released a phone called the Z30. It was a spec'd up version of the flailing Z10. The only issue was that this souped up Z10 still lagged behind dated devices like the Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4. Seriously though BlackBerry, do this. Take a Q10. Ram it full of RAM, power, and memory. Give it an HD screen and a slick browser and put it in the hands of every CEO who will say "sure". Don't skimp out. There is no excuse for making a phone that stutters when you open the browser in 2014. Find your niche and own it BlackBerry.

Mo`Nique Gossip
Mo`Nique gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Oscar Nominations 2011
Roger Ebert offered this yesterday: "I suspect Justin Timberlake has an excellent chance for "The Social Network," not only because he was wonderful, which he was, but because in some sense Academy voters consider themselves as the default casting directors for the Oscarcast and would like to add a hot young pop star. Full Story
An introduction to Oscar campaigning
Written by Sarah I noticed something weird during my first winter in Los Angeles. Driving down the 10 freeway I saw a billboard for a movie that had come out six months earlier. "LA is usually little more on top of changing their billboards," I said (or something along those lines). Full Story
Mo'Nique on money
Sure hope the Academy voting deadline has passed. Because Mo'Nique's recent comments about money may not go over very well with members. She has been brilliant through awards season, tempering criticism late last year that she was insisting on financial gain in exchange for promoting Precious and representing the film as the lead candidate for Best Actress Oscar. Full Story
Which portrait is the fairest?
The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue features skinny white girls on the front and actor/director portraits inside, all of them by Annie Leibovitz and much more interesting than the banality on the cover. Not to say that individually, those girls are delightful, but again, the lack of diversity was troubling, a reflection of that industry and also our own tastes. Full Story
Golden Globes 2010 Wrap-up
WHO's NATALIE??????????????????? As Duana noted during our live blog, that sealed it for us right there. No matter what happened after, Julia Roberts's dismissal of "Natalie" made our lives. Some of you were not watching NBC's Globes preshow so you missed the moment. "Natalie" is Natalie Morales. Full Story
Mo'Nique doesn't want it?
Well…no… She just won't campaign for it. Well… no… That's not right either. She'll campaign for it, but only if she's paid to campaign for it. By Oprah or the studio. That's the word according to many film industry insiders and that's what many people in the business of awards are starting to believe. Full Story
Precious Cheese Tits
Tits out, ass out, Mimi heaved her cheese onto the carpet the other night at the New York premiere of Precious enveloped in a cloud of butterfly love and bunny rabbit affection. Mimi tottered over to the event wrapped around her husband Nick Cannon and the two proceeded to slather the press with a thick layer of Velveeta as Mimi, in exceptionally great spirits, perhaps due to the fact that Mo'Nique has decided to piss away Full Story
There are actors like James Franco who doesn't need the street cred and isn't a money whore who is willing to work it on daytime television just because he's curious and available (more on this tomorrow) and then there's Mo'Nique who delivers an outstanding, breathtaking performance in the sure to be nominated Oprah-backed Precious and she's refusing to promote it. Full Story

Read: One Of The Things The Owners Didn't Like About The Last Proposal
In the Toronto Globe and Mail, David Shoalts writes that some owners aren't happy about how in the latest proposal the owners made to the players, bonus money would no longer count against the cap.
Players like Ryan-Nugent Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Nail Yakupov all have a base salary of $900,000 but have $2.8 million in potential bonuses that paid or not count against the cap.
The Islanders have used this to get to the salary floor with players such as Nino Niederreiter who had a base salary of $900,000 but a cap hit of $2.79 million because of bonuses.
Nino had 1 goal and 0 assists in 55 games for the Isles last season.
For the Rangers, Chris Kreider has a cap hit of $1.325 million but a base salary of $900,000. Carl Hagelin has a cap hit of $875,000 and a base salary of $687,500.
Ryan McDonagh has a cap hit of $1.3 million and a base salary of $875,000.

Sydney has a good network of buses, trains and ferries that make getting around the city and the surrounds easy. The bus network is the most extensive and cheapest mode of public transport, but can be slow due to traffic jams. There are also several hop-on hop-off Explorer buses for tourists that take in the major sights and surrounding beaches. The underground city centre train loop is the fastest way to get around, but many of the tourist areas, including Darling Harbour, Bondi Beach and Manly, can only be reached by further ferry or bus connections. The most pleasurable way to get around is by ferry - the main terminal is at Circular Quay. There is also a 10-minute monorail loop from the city centre to Darling Harbour and back, and a Metro Light Rail 'tram' system between Central Station and Wentworth Park in Pyrmont. In addition, metered taxis are plentiful and fairly economical. Hiring a car for short visits is not recommended due to heavy congestion (in peak hours) and limited parking in the city centre.
GMT +10 (GMT +11 from the first Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April).
Electrical current is 240/250 volts, 50Hz. Three-pin flat blade plugs are used but are different to those in most other countries, so an adapter is normally required.
The unit of currency is the Australian Dollar (AUD), which is divided into 100 cents. Credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout the country. Banks and bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Banking hours are generally 9:30am to 4pm Monday to Thursday, and 9:30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
The international dialling code for Australia is +61. Australian mobile phone companies operate on GSM networks, so some foreign phones may not be compatible with the local networks. Mobile phones are available for rent and internet cafes are widely available.

The summer season (November to March) is the most popular time to visit Sydney with temperatures regularly hitting the mid-90s F° (35°C).

Winter nights are likely to be cold.

All the main car hire companies are represented at the airport.
There are supervised taxi ranks outside the terminal; regular taxis and maxi taxis (for groups) are available from here.
