Just like our Facebook posts create histories of our lives that can't be erased, we generate indelible electronic paper trails whenever we use our mobile devices. Verizon Wireless is only the latest tech company to collect information on its subscribers and then sell it to advertisers who might be interested in seeing what we buy and where.
Verizon calls their new data collection program "Precision Market Insights." Verizon collects geographic data from the apps we use and the websites we access. They then turn around and share the information with businesses that are interested in selling us stuff through advertising on our smartphones and other mobile devices.
Verizon is adamant that the program is legal and doesn't violate any privacy laws because they keep user identities anonymous. Earlier this year, Bill Diggins, the U.S. head of Precision Market Insights, spoke about what the Verizon program allows the company to do. Of subscribers Diggins said, "We're able to view just everything they do."
Verizon is latest mobile service provider to use what's called "data-mining." MIT's Technology Review reported that in 2010 AT&T began tracking how and when text messages are sent. They believe these are indicators of social trends and human behavior. The MIT researchers also stated that many tech companies perform similar data analyses. Facebook and Google have been doing it for awhile, too.
What cell companies don't want you to know is that you can opt out of these kinds of data-mining programs. In the case of Verizon, customers can log in to their MyVerizon account and opt out any time.

In 1964, after 20 years of making sneakers for the Randolf Rubber Company, Paul Van Doren ventured off to start his own shoe empire. His vision was deliver low-cost shoes to the public by eliminating the extra mark-up of a retailer. From this idea came the Van Doren Rubber Company, which opened its doors in 1966. The first Vans shoe to hit the shelves was the Vans #44 deck shoe, now known as the Authentic. This shoe was created as a customizable canvas for the customer that could showcase their unique individuality. Whether they wanted to freehand a masterpiece of their own or go out and find the perfect fabric, Vans took the time and effort to create the perfect shoe for each and every person to walk through their door. The Authentic carried on as a popular style along the East Coast. Then in 1973 this concept of customized shoes made its way onto the timeless Vans Slip-On shoe.
Creating shoes tailored to a person's style was not a normal practice before Vans hit the scene, but this level of customer focus was an instant hit for those who were jumping into California's growing surf and skate communities. The ability to have a direct influence on what you wore fit their rebellious, East Coast, Cali-cool vibe to a tee. However, the tipping point for the core skaters was the sticky gum rubber outsole with Vans' signature waffle pattern. Riders from all over the area suggested that Vans create a shoe exclusively for their sport. The company listened and in 1976 released the Vans Era. This shoe took the Authentic's build and added a padded ankle area to deliver elevated protection and support where skateboarders need it most. The Era was also the first Vans shoe to carry the "Off The Wall" logo.
One of the initial people to endorse Vans shoes was Dogtown legend and Zyphyr skate team rider, Tony Alva. Alva brought newness to skateboarding that no one had ever seen before. His laid-back style and stellar board control caught the eye of adoring fans.
People no longer saw Vans shoes as simple deck shoes; they had become the epitome of California surf culture. In this same decade, Vans released their time-tested Half Cab skate shoe. This style was a pioneer for signature shoes in the skate community. Made for pro rider Steve Caballero, the Half Cab allowed for maximum board feel and featured reinforced stitching to reduce the unfortunate, but inevitable, blowout.
Fast forward to the 1990s and into the new millennium. Here we land in the age of the digital uprising. During this time, Vans expanded into music and started to host the Vans Warped Tour. This music festival traveled all over the nation, gathering a vast entourage of Vans enthusiasts. These festivalgoers saw Vans shoes as a way to express their individualism, much like the skaters on the East Coast did in decades past.
Currently Vans is taking on new challenges. In 2010, they launched their OTW line that caters to style trendsetters and sneaker collectors. This line has developed a niche following and releases many highly coveted artists' styles, in limited quantity. Then in spring of 2012, Vans dropped their LXVI sub-category. These shoes accommodate the high-tech needs of action-sports enthusiasts. The collection is made up of a variety of highly durable styles that focus on forward-thinking technologies to increase comfort, flexibility, and reduced weight, while incorporating classic Vans design elements.
Throughout the years, Vans has earned a place in the hearts of devoted sneaker collectors and the general public, thanks to their dedication to individuality. Now in the connected age, they continue to engage with you, their customers, to create the shoes you want in the classic styles you cherish. Whether you're into the classics or looking for a modern style, we have the selection to satisfy any Vans shoe craving.

Research Summary
Our research examines the neurobiological mechanisms of reinforcement learning and motivational control and seeks to identify how these mechanisms are altered in psychiatric illnesses, such as substance abuse. In this work, we use an integrative methodological approach that incorporates in vivo electrochemistry (fast scan cyclic voltammetry), in vivo optogenetics and preclinical behavioral analyses. We are currently investigating the neurobiological processes that underlie the ability of reward-associated cues to modulate ongoing behavior. Our recent findings show that midbrain cholinergic mechanisms powerfully regulate cue-induced cocaine-seeking behavior and suggest that cholinergic receptor modulation of phasic dopamine signaling may be critical for this behavior. Through ongoing projects, we are continuing to examine the role of cholinergic and dopaminergic mechanisms in cue-induced drug-seeking. In other work, we are investigating phasic dopamine mechanisms in nicotine addiction and the potential ability of tobacco product additives to enhance nicotine reinforcement through the regulation of dopamine signaling. In addition to our drug addiction research, we are also determining the role of cholinergic and dopaminergic mechanisms in other psychiatric illnesses, such as major depressive disorder (MDD). The goals of our research are to provide new insight into the mechanistic basis of these complex behaviors and to identify novel therapeutic targets to treat psychiatric disorders.

Apples for Teachers winner for March 2011
Sarah Rasmussen, a kindergarten teacher at Wellington Elementary, was nominated for an outstanding teacher award in the 2011 Apples For Teachers. Michelle Barker, whose daughter is in her class, wrote the winning nomination. Barker wrote, "She goes up and beyond what is needed. If she needs something for the kids, she uses her own money to buy it. She is always trying to find new and fun ways to teach the kids. She challenges the kids to do their best at everything. If there is a student struggling with a concept she takes the extra time to help them. I know my daughter will leave there more than ready for first grade."
Pictured front row is Jennifer Ottley-KUSA, principal Melissa Hamilton from Wellington Elementary-guest, Sarah Rasmussen-teacher of the month, Dawn Stowe-KUSA, Breanna Lopen-SOS, and Diana Root-Sun Advocate. Center row Jesse Ward and David Palacios-Savage, Jessica Basso-KUSA, Tauna Bruno-SOS, Helen Paletta-Savage, Emily Cox and Karin Odendahl-SOS, Jessica Adams-In House Insurance, Kathy Hanna-Smith and Jennifer Tryon-KUSA. Back row, Larry McKinnon and Vickie Shreve-Bucyrus, and Amy Christiansen-In House Insurance.
KUSA and the participating sponsors will be honoring local teachers from Carbon and Emery County in their second annual Apples for Teachers 2011. Many teachers go above and beyond the call of educating, and play an important part in forming the character and ethics of the children they are teaching. Every month KUSA will choose one outstanding teacher and treat them to lunch at Farlaino's Cafe, where they will be presented with the nomination letter and plaque. At the end of the school year, one of the monthly winners will be chosen as "Teacher of the Year" and will be awarded with a special luncheon and a new Apple laptop. Nominations can be sent to email@example.com.

CANTON A convicted sex offender was arrested Wednesday by St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies when he was found residing in what police called an unlivable trailer in Lisbon and charged with failure to register a change of address as a registered sex offender, a class E felony.
Mark A. Francis, 39, a registered Level 2 sex offender, was found on his grandmothers property at 649 Bull Run Road, Lisbon, after sheriffs deputies were tipped off by a neighbor that he had been staying in a trailer there.
Its a large property and he was back a ways in a trailer that wasnt up to code, Deputy Andrew Ashley said.
Currently, Francis is registered with the state Department of Criminal Justice at 7001 county Route 10, Lisbon, his fathers residence, police said.
As a sex offender, Francis has to register a change of address within 10 days of the move. Police allege that he had been living in the trailer for more than 10 days without having notified the state sex offender registry.
Francis was arraigned in Oswegatchie Town Court and remanded to St. Lawrence County jail without bail. He will be scheduled to appear in Lisbon Town Court.
In 1999 Francis was convicted of second-degree sexual abuse for having sexual contact with a 13-year-old girl.

The sticky, uncured layer that is left on the nails after some gel or odorless acrylic applications and has to be removed.
Before there was gel-polish, there was gel. Making its debut in the mid-1980s, this product was designed as an enhancement for clients who desired a glossy, durable finish. While many clients might think there is a big difference between gel and acrylic, gels actually rely on ingredients from the acrylic family. Perhaps the tougher distinction to make is between hard (traditional) and soft (soak-off) gels.
This design was created by AnGel educator Albee Chen using AnGel Artist Gel from Ikonna.
Getting behind the science of gel-polish is no easy feat, but with a better framework for its chemistry comes improved technique and the ability to educate clients. NAILS picked the brain of OPI's Dr. Paul Bryson for some user-friendly answers.
Kari McQuitty, an Amore educator and owner of the salon All About Nails, in Alberta, Canada, discovered that traditional watercolor paint meant for paper canvases makes a great introductory nail art medium.
With the surge in gel-polish clients, it's now crucial to seamlessly integrate no-damage removal into your service repertoire. Our gel-polish experts show you how.

Rangers @ Devils
Prudential Center, 7:00 p.m. Wednesday
Rangers record: 21-14-2
Devils record: 9-24-2
The Rangers' 7-2 rout of the Islanders on Monday night was fun, but it was far from perfect. Henrik Lundqvist came up big for the home team after several egregious turnovers and defensive lapses gave the Isles some key scoring chances throughout a game that Coach Tortorella described as "sloppy". Although the atmosphere in Madison Square Garden was joyous following the win (frequent healthy scratch and Long Island native Matt Gilroy received a round of applause from his teammates and first star honors after a tremendous two goal game), Tortorella worked his team hard today during practice, focusing on the power play and responsibility in the defensive zone.
Ironically, the New Jersey Devils—famous in years past for their frustrating defensive trap—could also use some guidance in the defensive play department. The last placed Devils are four points below the lowly Islanders and boast an embarrassing minus-51 goal differential. The 2010-2011 season's whipping boy, Ilya Kovalchuk, is a team-worst minus-26. Though he hasn't scored a point in his last three games, Kovalchuk opened eyes when he dropped the gloves with Toronto Captain Dion Phaneuf in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Leafs. Kovalchuk's frustration is shared by the rest of the Devils' organization, including the great Martin Brodeur, who was pulled during a game for the fifth time this season after the second period on Sunday. The drowning Devils are 0-3-0 since Jacques Lemaire relieved head coach John MacLean, and they have lost nine of their last ten games. They will host the Rangers tomorrow night in the hopes of ending their current five-game losing streak.
Lemaire ran a punishing practice Monday morning, noting that the Devils looked tired in Sunday's game against the Leafs. However, the interim coach singled out Patrick Elias and complimented the Devils' left winger for his notable level of play. Elias leads the team with 24 points, and is expected to play on a line with Devils' captain Jamie Langenbrunner and center Jason Arnott, who leads the team with only nine goals. Injuries have certainly plagued the Devils this season, and with Zach Parise still out, only a handful of regulars have played in all thirty five games. The Devils called up right winger Vladimir Zharkov from the team's AHL affiliate, but it is unclear whether he will dress for Wednesday night's game.
As for the Rangers: the waiving of perennial fourth-liner Todd White seems to indicate that Mats Zuccarello is going to be here for a little while. The Norwegian Hobbit has impressed in his two games with the Rangers, and he was rewarded Monday night with his first NHL point on Derek Stepan's power play goal. Michael Del Zotto didn't practice with the team today due to a groin issue, but Matt Gilroy most certainly would have been in the lineup Wednesday night anyway after his two-goal performance (the second being the eventual game-winner) Monday night. Gilroy is a plus-10 in his last thirteen games, and Tortorella remarked that Gilroy is one of the six defensemen that should be getting consistent playing time.
The Devils have won one game in the entire month of December—but the month is not over just yet. The team desperately needs a boost of confidence, and what better way for the Devils to regain this confidence than by gaining a home victory against their longtime cross-river rivals? A confident—but not cocky—Blueshirt squad will ensure that this does not happen.

In this fact sheet find:
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications refers to all types of conversational voice information including landline
voice (telephony) or voice from a Land Mobile Radio system. VoIP-based telephony is one of the fastest growing telecom technology
sectors. Two VoIP categories are particularly relevant to public safety: VoIP telephony on public telephone networks and VoIP
technology within public safety radio systems.
Many businesses and commercial telephony service providers are migrating to IP-based infrastructure, taking advantage of cost
savings and efficiencies inherent in an IP transport network. In addition, nontraditional service providers are emerging to
compete with incumbent providers by selling service that uses the Internet, cable television network infrastructure, or other
nonincumbent IP infrastructure to provide access to core transport network facilities. In fact, many IP telephony services
never touch the traditional telephone network.
Many free, or nearly free, personal computer/PDA-based VoIP telephony applications are readily available for download and
use via the Internet. Application developers take advantage of abundant online network capacity to facilitate free Internet-only
voice calls with optional access to the public switched telephone network for a modest fee. Devices with VoIP software can
communicate nomadically, functioning at any location wherenetwork access is available.
Potential public safety concerns related to VoIP-based telephony technology include its inability to provide traditional location
identification (Enhanced 911, or E911) services for 911 emergency calls placed to a public safety answering point (PSAP).
IP-based telephony equipment is not tied to a specific location like wireline-based plain old telephony service (POTS). An
IP-based telephone can be transported from location to location, and therefore traditional caller location services are not
available to the emergency call taker, creating PSAP procedural issues.
Recent rulings by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) (FCC Order 05–116(pdf, 91 pages)) mandate that commercial VoIP service providers must provide E911 services correct PSAP, but the development, implementation,
and processes associated with these technologies are very immature. Incorrectly configured consumer IP devices, or devices
that are moved after a location has been pinpointed, can provide false location information to an emergency call taker. A
portable IP-based telephony device operating through one or more public wireless WiFi access points will not even provide
the limited details that are conveyed via a typical cellular telephone device.
The FCC ruling also requires that a notice be attached to commercial VoIP devices that do not connect to a 911 operator. An
area of lesser concern is taxation and E911 assessment fees. As service users drop traditional services and migrate to unregulated
VoIP networks, disposition of E911 fees and taxes associated with the traditional telephone service is not well defined, and
rules differ from State to State.
Another public safety concern is that traditional voice intercept and electronic surveillance techniques are disrupted. New
techniques, tools, and infrastructure access methods are required to facilitate surveillance of IP-based telephony services.
The nature of IP-based network transport makes the paths of IP packets through the network unpredictable and more difficult
to intercept. Very often IP addresses associated with a specific IP-based telephony device will change regularly, making it
difficult or nearly impossible to target a single device or user. Strong end-to-end encryption between IP devices can also
be implemented at minimal cost, further compounding the surveillance efforts of law enforcement agencies.
Public safety officials and emergency call takers must be aware of these issues, and until pending regulations are fully implemented
and the associated technology is available, officials must address them through education and the use of best practices. The
Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials are spearheading an effort to identify and address regulatory issues associated with VoIP telephony technology and emergency
location services with the FCC. In addition, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, through its CALEA Implementation Unit, has
established a law enforcement executive forum to address intercept and surveillance issues associated with VoIP telephony.

A Slow Cooker Resolution
And I will post the recipes and pictures.
stop laughing.
This is huge for me, because I usually give up my New Year's Resolutions on about the 4th. But, I've started working for these people and so I'm thinking that I best be making a blog.
So here it is.
2008. The Year of the Slow Cooker.
it's actually the year of the rat.
I don't have a rat.
But I do have these little guys:
Daisy and Turtle taking one for the team...
no guinea pigs were harmed in the making of this tasteless attempt at humor.
Updated, 2013:
I finished my yearlong challenge, and it was a success. I feel so very lucky to have turned this simple idea into a "job" --- I didn't set out thinking I'd learn new ways to use my slow cooker, merely to chronicle my meals. I feel like I'm living the American dream, and am so very very very thankful.
I do have cookbooks, if you'd like to check them out. Here is my Amazon page.

I'm laughing hard enough to wish that I had visited the loo prior to clicking over here (via SQ&SPJ). That. Funny.

Oh my god .... Im sooooo IN!!!! too funny ..... except, if you live in Peru, then that picture is pretty accurate... lol found you via notesfromthetrenches- got a crock pot last year , haven't even opened it --- help me lady, help me!

I've always wanted a crockpot. Well, ever since Alton Brown told me I needed one to make delicious oatmeal, anyway. perhaps now's the time--we'll just have to find room in our already-cluttered kitchen.

I do have to say that I think I'd have WAY too many leftovers if I used mine everyday. It seems that I fill the darn thing up every single time I use it... and it's just me, my husband, and our three-year-old. I usually invite my parents over to eat on "crock-pot-night", but even then I have leftovers like crazy!!
Can't wait to follow your blog!
- January 8, 2008 at 3:33 AM
I am totally bookmarking this thread! Wonderful idea!
- January 8, 2008 at 1:19 PM
Please include some healthy recipes for those of us trying to lose some weight this year!

anon, I will. Our family eats pretty light---a lot of crockpot recipes call for heavy cream and condensed soups, which I stay away from except for when I don't. ;-)
Check out the corn chowder recipe--thick and creamy without a drop of cream!

I'm so excited to have found you! I have you as one of my favorites on my blog too (http://chroniclesofminnesota.blogspot.com/). :) I've really only used my crockpots for chili and sloppy joes, so I'm excited to try some new recipes for my VERY picky eaters! :)
- April 2, 2008 at 6:13 AM
I tried the bread in the crock pot idea last night and it was great! I had Bob's Redmill bread on hand and I added a few TBSPs of Almond meal flour to the mixture with a TSP of water and it turned out great. I liked the results better than my bread machine. There was no gritty taste. Next time I'll wait to cut it until it is cool. I was so excited to taste it that I sliced a piece right after taking it out! (it wasn't as tall and fluffy after) Thank you for your ideas!
- April 2, 2008 at 10:23 AM
I'm so glad I found your blog! I've vowed to crock more in 2008 (what is not to love about having dinner ready during the witching hours of 5-7?).
Keep going!
- May 1, 2008 at 5:29 AM
Hello - I live in the UK and have just brought a crockpot and really enjoy reading your blog to give me ideas on new things to try out.
I like the photos as well which are a lot more realistic than the ones you normally see in recipe books.
I too love my crock pot!! Enjoy using yours for the rest of the year.
- May 3, 2008 at 4:52 PM
I just bought a crockpot last night and asked my regular forum friends what to do with it and got referred to this blog. I haven't even done anything with the pot yet, but I love it already!
And love the way you kicked off the year of the rat, gerbil, guinea pigs..
As Annie once said, "I think I'm gonna like it here."

GOOD LUCK, more than half way done!
- July 10, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Well I've been following your blog for a while, but just saw this post today! I live in Ecuador, South America and that picture is served up as a delicacy here! Love your ideas, but I'm guessing if I get a crock pot guniea pig receipe you DON'T want it :-) Thanks for your ideas.

- September 11, 2008 at 6:57 AM
I canned 12 quarts of tomatoes last weekend so feeling domestically empowered I purchased a crock pot today AND a frozen heirloom chicken. It is thawing in my frig right now and I cannot wait to cook the heck out of it tomorrow. Thank you for this site! My more modest goal is to cook with my cp at least once a week which may mean it will take SEVEN years to get through your website!
- September 13, 2008 at 7:26 PM
You are my hero!
I fear my family will starve in 2009!
Thanks for all the yummy stuff and the re-kindled love affair I now share with my crock-pot.

a friend linked to your blog the other day for the applesauce recipe. i found 25 pounds of pears for $3 at our farmer's market that were super ripe and make crockpot pearsauce. it was fabulous and all the kids have been fighting over leftovers! (they don't know i canned 6 jars of 'leftovers')
Anyway, just wondering if you were planning to make this into a book. there is such a variety of recipes and although I'd like to try them all, there aren't enough days in my weeks. i don't want to loose all of this tried and true information!!! please seriously consider it and let me know!

I can't believe I didn't discover you earlier in the year but I'm a great fan of crockpot cooking and I've really enjoyed reading your recipes (and laughing along with you... Daisy and Turtle in the crock had me HOWLING to the point where my 8 year old wondered what was wrong with me...)
We don't care about gluten -- no wheat issues here -- but have nut and soy allergies going on, so indirectly we'll benefit from your care in ingredients selection.
Thanks for a great blog... and I've preordered your book. Does it come with an extra couple hours in my day so I can sit down and read it? ;-)

A friend referred me to your site on 11/1 - the chocolate fluff fondue. Haven't tried it yet, but I have tried a few recipes. I don't know why I am thrilled to be crockpot cooking finally: the new crockpot with 2, 4, and 6 qt pot or your site. Something about the wit, the photo, the recipe, and especially the verdicts. Thanks so much! I hope to relive bits of your 2008 in 2009!
- November 27, 2008 at 2:59 PM
I just wanted to echo the millions of fans you have around the world...well, you SHOULD have millions of fans around the world...THANK YOU!!!! I have not had an oven for, well, lets just say a very long time now. This blog is a lifesaver! We are eating more variety and much healthier meals. Please don't let this blog end in 2009!!! I can't survive without it!!!!!

- December 11, 2008 at 4:40 AM
I just ran across your page and LOVE it. But what really sold me was the picture of the guinea pigs! I started crying I was laughing so hard. Junie B. and Phillip Johnny Bob can help out Turtle and Daisy any time! Yes, I live in the south where three names in common. No, I did not name them. My first grader class did.

- March 11, 2009 at 9:35 AM
I love this site. It is refreshing to see people using more natural foods. By the way, the two guinea pigs in a crock pot could be a meal in Peru. They eat them and they are called Cuy (coo eee) no lie, I was served them on a chacra(farm) there by a sweet lady while I was a vegetarian. Talk about a predicament. Oh well, a bit didn't hurt and they tasted, dare I say it, like chicken. Happy cooking!

Just saw you on Rachel Ray today - brodcast in the UK. (We are just getting re-runs of old shows) I had to look. I tinker with my slow cooker and my husband thinks all meat from it tastes the same. So I need to try new things. I am also returning to work full time after nearly a year of maternity leave. With 2 kids, a husband with 2 jobs I have no idea how I am going to get everything done, so I think using my slow cooker alot more is a v.good idea. My mum used hers alot in the 70s & 80s. Its funny how in the end we all turn into our mums.

Microsoft Piracy Pleas Fall on Deaf Ears in China
Today in international tech news: China continues to ignore Microsoft's patent complaints while Germany continues to honor Microsoft's patent complaints. Also: Samsung celebrates the iPhone launch by announcing plans to expand its litigation against Apple, the Philippines outlaws cybersex, and Google ditches its music service in China.
Sep 21, 2012 9:04 AM PT
Microsoft has asked China to crack down on pirated Office software used by four major state-run companies, according to Bloomberg.
Speaking to a government panel last month, Microsoft named China National Petroleum Corp., China Post Group, China Railway Construction Corp. and Travelsky Technology as serial users of pirated software. Microsoft alleged that 40 percent of Office and Windows server client software used by China National Petroleum -- which according to Bloomberg is the parent of China's most valuable company -- is unlicensed, while 84 percent of China Railway Construction's Office software is unlicensed.
A spokesman for China National Petroleum said the company hadn't heard about Microsoft's complaints, which means he was either bluffing or China hadn't taken Microsoft's allegations all that seriously.
If these companies do indeed use pirated software, they wouldn't be alone. In May, the Business Software Alliance published a report alleging that China has a US$9 billion illegal software market -- compared to a $3 billion legal software market.
Apple Unveils iPhone, Samsung Unveils Lawsuit
A new phone, a new round of patent allegations.
Just in time for Apple's iPhone 5 release, Samsung announced plans to add the iPhone 5 to existing patent lawsuits in the U.S., according to Reuters.
Apple and South Korea-based Samsung have engaged in patent battled in 10 different countries. Last month, Samsung was ordered to pay more than $1 billion for infringing on Apple patents.
According to The Wall Street Journal, once Samsung includes the iPhone 5 in the U.S. case -- a move it could extend to cases in other countries, as well -- it can seek sales bans on the phone.
The iPhone 5 is being released in a slew of countries Friday -- the U.S., UK, Canada, Germany and Japan among them -- and in 22 more countries next week. According to Reuters, Apple had more than 2 million orders for the iPhone 5 in the first 24 hours it was available.
Cybersex Shutdown in The Philippines
The Philippines has outlawed everything that falls under its rather broad definition of "cybersex," according to Mashable.
The new law prohibiting cybersex, detailed here at a Philippines government website, also makes it illegal to upload porn. The wording of the legislation prohibits the "lascivious exhibition of sexual organs or sexual activity, with the aid of a computer system, for favor or consideration."
Guilty parties face fines of up to $24,018, which is extra problematic because, as of 2010, per capita income in the country was about $2,000.
Google Ditches Music Service in China
Google has shut down its Chinese music service, reported here by Tech In Asia.
Google first made the announcement (in Chinese) on its Google China blog, conceding that the website, launched in 2009, hadn't had the success Google anticipated.
Microsoft Wins Ruling Against Google, Motorola
Not to be out-litigated by Apple and Samsung, Microsoft and Google made courtroom news Thursday when a German court awarded another patent victory to Microsoft.
As the BBC explains, the court ruled that several Motorola tablets and phones infringed on patents owned by Microsoft.
German courts sided with Microsoft in patent disputes in May and again in July.

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (WZZM) - The West Michigan Whitecaps 20th season opener is in the books, along with their first win.
Hundreds of fans lined up to get into Fifth Third Ballpark for the first time this season, mostly wearing blue -- but near the front, a pop of white.
Tim Orlowski and his father-in-law Jerry Green bought their hats on the first-ever opening day 19 years ago, back when in was called Old Kent Park.
"It was cold, rainy, snowing. I was working second shift at the time. I told my boss if they played the game, I'm leaving work to come to the game. They played it and we came the very first game," said Orlowski.
For 19 years, they've sat in the same area. Tim's kids and Jerry's grandkids grew up watching these games, and now the two keep coming for the memories, good games, and good food.
"You gotta have those baconators or whatever," said Green. "Yeah, they have good food," added Orlowski.
So far, they're still not sick of each other.
"He can drink a beer, and I can drink a beer," said Orlowski.
Fans got their money's worth at the season opener. The Whitecaps and Dayton Dragons were tied 6-6 at the end of nine innings. The 'Caps Jake Stewart hit to the right field fence, and Jeff Hume trotted in the game-winning run. The final was 7-6, West Michigan.

In looking towards the general elections on November 8th, the Carbon County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors would like to invite voters to participate in a "Meet the Candidates" night scheduled for Oct. 27 at Creekview Elementary School located at 590 West 500 South (across from the Price City domes). The meeting will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
All candidates vying for mayor and city council within the county will be invited to participate. Each city will be in a separate room for a question-and-answer type program.
A moderator will ask the candidates to answer the same questions in random order, thereby giving no candidate a "first or last" advantage. Ground rules and time limits will be followed so that every candidate will have ample time and opportunity to respond.
At the end of the program, if time allows, candidates may entertain questions from the audience.
The chambers goal is to introduce the candidates to the citizenry and what their platform and ideas are so that voters can make an educated decision. There are no other elections where local citizens' votes count more or where they can be more involved than in city and county appointments.

A secondary school located in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada. The students are divided into two: IB asians, and non-IB kids. Neither party acknowledges or talks to the other. Mostly full of upper-middle class asians whose parents won't buy them cars. The five student cars in the parking lot, however, are Honda Civics. The non-asian part of the population(one third) are suburban kids who know at the back of their minds that they aren't worth shit because they go to st robs, and are bubbleheaded as fuck. This school is located in bumfuck nowhere and has a high rate of students wearing non-uniform sweaters to feel badass. These kids have sold their soul to math textbooks, and most of them want to migrate to Thornlea SS or STL when in reality they can't last a DAY outside the periffs of the institute. On a positive note, these pupils are very welcoming if you are a new student(due to it being boring as fuck).
omg i go to st robs and all i'm going to talk about for the rest of the day is what is being served in the cafeteria, the quiz i had last period that i "failed", and that there are so many asians at this school even though i can't do shit about it and all i do all day is fucking complain and gossip about my teachers because i live in a fucken bubble that's inside another fucken bubble!!!

|Kerstina Thayn designs a bouquet.
A lot of people feel that a wedding is just not a wedding without flowers. The trend is going back to fresh flowers after a run of years where people were choosing silk flowers. Flowers are playing greater and greater rolls in wedding plans. In interviews this week with Jackie Davis from Price Floral, Marla Roberts and Denise Knowlden from Roberts Floral Gifts and Beth Procrarione and Kerstina Thayn from Love Floral we were told how trends are changing when it comes to flowers and weddings. Although each designer and flower shop has their own style several there are specific trends that go across the board. The trend for more flowers in weddings, including decorating the church or the garden area, various tables, (head table at the reception, the guest book, the gift area) and the wedding cake appears to be increasing.
Specific flowers in the bride's bouquet seem to be similar as well with a lot of roses. However the designers at Roberts Floral say they are getting more requests for whites and pinks, while Love floral says they have seen a lot of requests this summer for brighter, wild flowers such as reds and yellows. Davis says that royal purple is in but all agree that roses top the list of the most requested flower. Besides roses Calla Lilies are also very popular.
Simple seems to be more popular that the large bouquets of the past. "Less is more," says Marla Roberts.
|Marla Roberts uses pancies to tie in the cake with the entire wedding.
Each of the flower centers provide extensive consulting when it comes to choses in selecting styles, colors, and flower types working with the bride and her family around specific budgets.
One of the areas that has changed in the past 20 years is the cake and how flowers bring the whole wedding together, including the cake. At one point the baker would prepare the cake complete with icing that matched the wedding, however now today's weddings find it customary to have the cake based and all the decorating is done by the floral designer. "Cakes have become an event all in themselves," says Jackie Davis.
Besides the customer bridal bouquet, flowers carried by the bridesmaids and family members flowers are also a large part of the entire celebration. Often people use rented archways, pillars, candleobras and stands to accent the church or reception area.

David Backes' phantom headshot on Kent Huskins wasn't Friday night's only referee meltdown—Capitals defenseman John Erskine got away with a dirty elbow to the head of Flyers forward Wayne Simmonds.
The good news, if you can call it that, is that the officials' oversight didn't go unchecked. Erskine somehow avoided a trip to the penalty box for the elbow, but was suspended three games on Saturday.
The 6-4 Erskine lifted his elbow into Simmonds' face while both were going for the puck. As Greg Wyshynski noted at Puck Daddy, it was a similar move to then-Flames winger Rene Bourque's chicken-wing on Nicklas Backstrom last year. That led to five-game suspension for Bourque, but he had a suspension history, unlike Erskine.
"While we acknowledge that there was no malicious intent, and that Erskine was reacting to getting beat, this is nevertheless a reckless elbow to the head that caused a serious injury," NHL director of player safety Brendan Shanahan said in a video explaining the hit.
It's the third suspension of the season; Flyers forward Brayden Schenn got one game for leaving his feet to deliver a headshot to Devils defenseman Anton Volchenkov, and Islanders forward Colin McDonald got two for boarding Penguins defenseman Ben Lovejoy.
Erskine's lack of a track record helped him, but the fact that Simmonds left the game and did not return at least partially canceled that out.
Flyers GM Paul Holmgren said Simmonds has a head injury and "a little bit of a whiplash going on," which is never good news and hopefully doesn't portend long-running concussion issues. He didn't play Saturday against the Carolina Hurricanes.
"When I saw it live I thought it was two guys colliding. When I saw the replay I don't know why his elbow went up, but it did. I don't think John's that kind of player. I don't think he's a dirty player. Those things happen," Holmgren told reporters after the game, according to CSN Washington.
After the hit, in a solid-if-ridiculous illustration of how things work in the NHL, Matt Hendricks and Zac Rinaldo fought and were summarily ejected for doing it before the official dropped the puck on a face-off.
The bigger issue for the Flyers is that they lost yet another game and fell to last place in the Eastern Conference at 2-6-0 overall. After the 3-2 loss, they'd been outscored 23-16, the latter of which is tied for the worst mark in the conference. Against the Hurricanes, they were trying to avoid the first 2-7-0 start in franchise history.
"I'm concerned because we're falling behind here. We got to get going here," Holmgren said, according to CSN Philly.

Larry Fong, ASC and Zack Snyder have known each other since film school, where some of their earliest collaborations were made on Super 8. Eventually, their success as storytellers led to bigger projects, and today their feature film collaborations include 300, Watchmen and Sucker Punch.
"Zach can just say one or two words to me and I know what he's trying to do," says Fong. "I'll set it up for him and get out of his way. When we get to work together, it's easy that way. Sometimes it's a code word or an inside joke from long ago. I'm really spoiled when I work with Zach – it's always a good time."
Most recently, Fong and Snyder created a set of bold, iconographic commercial destined for cinemas. The client was the United States Army National Guard, and the spots were designed to be a tie-in with the release of Man of Steel, Snyder's new feature take on the Superman story. The locales include an all-American farmhouse and barn, an urban setting, and various rescue scenarios.
Visuals parallels are drawn between National Guard soldiers and Superman. After all, National Guard soldiers dress like regular people during the week, but when trouble arises, they don uniforms and take heroic action. Brief shots from the Man of Steel feature film are intercut with the heroic efforts of the "Soldiers of Steel." A soldier hugging his son cuts to Superman rescuing a child in his arms. A soldier reaching into a flooded house towards a stranded victim cuts to Superman reaching out to make a similar rescue.
Fong notes that the boards he saw when he first joined the project emphasized an energetic feel. While the spots were designed to echo the Man of Steel visuals in terms of contrast and color, they were not slavishly imitating the feature.
"Zach wanted the energy and feel of Man of Steel," says Fong. "Of course, I'm not going to try to exactly duplicate something as a formal exercise. Zach was directing the actors and finding the compositions, so I knew it would have heart and soul, and his stamp on it. But there is also, hopefully, a little bit of me is in there as well – not out of ego, but because you can't help it."
Fong notes that visually, Man of Steel was quite raw, with lots of handheld camera. "But we ended up using all the tools at our disposal – handheld, dolly, cranes remote heads and Steadicam, as well as aerial," he says. "I took some cues from the movie, but I applied my style and kept it kind of natural. Some parts are more romantic, like the farmhouse. The rescue footage has a different look – desaturated, cooled off and contrasty to make it look a little raw."
Because the spots were meant for cinema screen and not televisions, Fong could compose for a widescreen 2.35:1 aspect ratio not concern himself with compromising for 16:9, 4:3 or any other framings that must often be dealt with on television commercials. Together, the cinema screen display and the tie-in to Man of Steel played an important factor in the decision to shoot film. For entirety of the shoot, Fong used KODAK VISION3 200T Color Negative Film 5213.
"I really love 5213," he says. "It has tight grain and great range, but you can still tell it is film. We had some interiors, but they were near windows, so I could pump enough light in without having to switch to a faster stock. Even when the sun started going down, I could make it work."
The spots were photographed over the course of three days, some at locations in Southern California and some on the Universal backlot in Hollywood. Fong used Panavision cameras and lenses for the most part. For a shot of a line of Guard vehicles streaming towards an ominous cloud on the horizon, Fong used a Lenny Arm II and a gyro-stabilized head from Panavision Remote Systems called a Pictorvision XR II.
For an idyllic tracking shot of kids on their bikes, "A" camera operator Chris Haarhoff used a Steadicam rig while riding on an electric cart. Snyder also used a technique he used on Man of Steel where he grabs an ARRI 235 and captures "artsy" handheld shots. Here, shots of a windmill and wind chimes add detail.
The DI was done at Company 3 with Stefan Sonnenfeld.
"It was a fun shoot," says Fong. "The National Guard had a very good agency, LM&O, and they gave Zach a lot of freedom to deliver the real heroic feeling. I had fun with the contrast between the romanticism of the home scenes and the energy of the rescues. I enjoyed shooting a commercial just like I'd shoot a movie. And it's all for a good cause – after all, they really are heroes."

Images of storm surge flooding from hurricanes Katrina and Sandy prodded Fire Chief Ryan Duckworth to prepare for the day his coastal community would be in the crosshairs of disaster.
He is certain a hurricane with a storm surge of 10 feet or more would swamp downtown, including the city's single-story fire station that dates back to the 1950s.
For more than a decade, Cocoa Beach has considered building a new fire station and department headquarters. Duckworth wants a three-story structure that can stand up to a hurricane and serve as an operations center for rescue and recovery, according to Local 6 news partner Florida Today.
"What we are looking to do is have a building that is hardened that can handle up to 160-mph winds to survive a hurricane so we can get everything up and running faster," Duckworth said. "The building most likely will survive a direct hit."
The station's second and third floors would become the city's operations center where emergency officials would coordinate efforts after a storm surge, which could flood the first floor. City vehicles would be sent to higher ground to ride out the storm.
In addition to being an emergency operations center, the building also would serve as a public-service base for insurance company representatives and recovery organizations.
In 2010, officials balked at plans to construct a new fire station, police station and administration facility that was estimated to cost between $8.8 million and $13.3 million.
In September, then-Vice Mayor Dave Netterstrom proposed spending up to $3 million for a new fire station.
Winter Park-based Architects Design Group, which specializes in public safety buildings, developed the architectural design to meet the structural requirements, and Altamonte Springs-based BHM Architecture added five exterior styles.
About 200 residents narrowed the designs down to two favorites at a public meeting this month: Key West and mid-century modern.
The city will seek contract bids for the two designs and determine how to pay for the station after they select a winning bid.
Some residents complained at a recent commission meeting that the process was moving too fast. They also felt more public input was needed before the final design is selected.
"These are the two most popular designs," said Netterstrom, now the city's mayor. "We do need to get cost information for us to make a decision and that is the next step in the process. Before we do make a final decision, the citizens, residents and constituents will have a very good opportunity to voice there opinions on it."
Vice Mayor Ben Malik commented that waiting longer might add more costs to the project.
"The construction sector is heating up. The longer we wait, the more this thing is going to cost us," Malik said. "We've waited 10 years too long because we could have done it for a lot cheaper back then."
Commission members supported allowing the fire station to go above the city's 45-foot building-height limit up to 60 feet for a tower attached to the structure for firefighter training.
The design will be similar to fire departments in Winter Park, Sanford and Altamonte Springs that have training towers at their headquarters.
"So we can basically do ladder and truck-company operations training, high-angle and rope rescues and high-rise firefighting training," Duckworth said. "By doing this, we won't have to go to Cape Canaveral and take our trucks out of the city to go train on their tower; we will have something right here."
Duckworth hopes the building will serve as a reminder to residents that they will not be alone when disaster strikes.
"It will be peace of mind knowing there will be people here right after the storm to get the recovery process started."

Researchers Predict Major Earthquake To Hit California In Next 30 Year
Recently built homes are seen in suburban neighborhoods on top of the... News PhotoAccidents and Disasters,Active Fault,Building Exterior,Built Structure,California,Earthquake,Geology,Horizontal,Order,Parallel,Residential District,San Andreas Fault,San Bernardino,Suburb,USAPhotographer David McNewCollection: Getty Images News 2008 Getty ImagesSAN BERNARDINO, CA - MAY 15: Recently built homes are seen in suburban neighborhoods on top of the San Andreas Rift Zone, the system of depressions in the ground between the parallel faults of the San Andreas earthquake fault, May 15, 2008 in the community of Highland, east of San Bernardino, California. New calculations reveal a 99.7 percent chance that a magnitude 6.7 quake or larger will strike by 2037, according to the first-ever statewide temblor forecast released by the scientists of the United States Geological (USGS), Southern California Earthquake Center and California Geological Survey last month. Scientists have particular concern for the people living along the southern portion of the 800-mile-long San Andreas Fault east of Los Angeles. This section of the fault has had very little slippage for more than 300 years and has built up immense pressure that could release an earthquake of historic proportions at any time. Such a quake could produce a sudden lateral movement of 23 to 32 feet and be would be among the largest ever recorded. Experts have predicted that a quake of magnitude-7.6 or greater on the southern San Andreas would kill thousands of people and cause many billions of dollars in damages, dwarfing the 1994 Northridge disaster near Los Angeles that killed 72 people, injured more than 9,000 and caused $25 billion in damage.

Why is this? Information applies to: Products Panda GateDefender Performa 8050Panda GateDefender Performa 8100Panda GateDefender Performa 8200Panda GateDefender PerformaWhen downloading files via http via a GateDefender Performa unit, the file is retained by GateDefender in order to scan the content. The download speed is exactly the same as if the protection wasn't there, but users could think that the speed of the download is slower, as until Panda Gatedefender Performa has retained the complete file to scan it, no window will appear asking about the download location.Meanwhile, to prevent a time-out in the client, GateDefender sends small packets of file data. Finally, when the antivirus has received and scanned the whole file, it releases it all and this can give the impression that the download progress bar was stopped and then suddenly finishes downloading the complete file.Help nº- 20140602 31312 EN Help us improve our service by letting us know your opinion.
